New Light-Activated Nanoparticles Kill Over 90% of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics is a growing Problem around the World, Responsible for Some 2 Million Infections in the US each year that lead to approximately 23,000 Deaths. But a new Nanoparticle Treatment developed by Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder could provide an effective means of Fighting Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria including Salmonella , E. coli , and Staphylococcus, based on Results in a Laboratory Environment. In testing with a Lab-Grown Culture, The Nanoparticles killed 92 Percent of Drug-Resistant Bacterial Cells while leaving the other Cells intact. The treatment consists of Light-Activated Nanoparticles called  Quantum Dots. These extremely Small Particles, Which resemble the Semiconductors used in Electronics, are about 20,000 Times smaller than a Human Hair, and when excited by Light they prove deadly to Drug-Resistant Bacterial Cells.

For the First time, An international team of  Neuroscientists  has Transmitted a Message from the  Brain  of One Person to Another.     The team, which includes researchers from Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Star lab Barcelona in Spain, and Axilum Robotics in France, has announced today the successful transmission of a brain-to-brain message over a distance of 8,000 kilometers. "We wanted to find out if one could communicate directly between two people by reading out the brain activity from one person and injecting brain activity into the second person, and do so across great physical distances by leveraging existing communication pathways,” said one of the team,  Harvard’s Alvaro Pascual-Leone in a press release.  "One such pathway is, of course, the Internet, so our question became, 'Could we develop an experiment that would bypass the talking or typing part of internet and establish direct brain-to-brain communicat

Drug of choice is that drug which is known to be most effective in order to cure an infection or disease. A drug of choice should be accessible, cost effective, easily tolerable, safe, and most importantly effective against the disease-causing pathogen. Following is the list of few of drugs that are used in the common infections.
