Scientists at the University of Melbourne, Australia, discovered a new breakthrough in the search for a better vaccine to prevent the flu virus strain baru.Mereka said cells known as T-cells could be the key to a universal flu vaccine.

They find out why the influenza virus usually avoid white cells that protect the body from infection. The use of T-cells to attack the new virus strain will produce a vaccine that is durable and broad coverage in preventing seasonal and pandemic flu outbreaks.

One of the scientists involved in the study, Professor Stephen Turner, said the study will complement the existing treatment of the flu.

"I want to emphasize that we are not trying to replace the existing vaccine that actually works well," said Professor Stephen as reported by the BBC correspondent in Sydney, Phil Mercer.

Other viral infections

"The problem with the existing vaccine is the virus could change, so we are looking for is value added to existing vaccines so that we can produce not only antibodies but also immune T-cell immunity wider if the virus changes without our knowledge," added Professor Stephen .

In addition to potentially generate a universal vaccine, these findings may also reveal a better understanding of immune white blood cells against viral infections, including HIV and hepatitis C.

Every year recorded between three and five million cases of severe flu. The virus is killing 500,000 people per year worldwide.

Women who suffer from high blood pressure or hypertension is a higher risk of sexual dysfunction in the form of a drop in libido, compared with women with normal blood pressure.

Bone is living tissue that grows when active so young and has the ability to improve the event of damage or broken. This repair process occurs on bone surfaces simultaneously. This particular bone cells called osteoclasts that mereabsorsi bones of old, then osteoblasts will replace it with a new one.

"Kidney disease can be cured of kidney stones for example, if the originators factor is removed it will return to normal renal function. While kidney disease can not be cured as chronic kidney disease, the kidneys are unable to function normally again," said Dharmeizar.

Although not curable but Dharmeizar said that chronic kidney disease can be slowed development process by taking a variety of medications and live a healthy lifestyle.

Lung cancer beat breast cancer as the leading cause of death from cancer in European women. Data in the UK and Poland demonstrate this.

The research team looked all cancer cases in the European Union (27 countries in 2007) and also some individual countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK. In 2013, around 82 640 European women died of lung cancer, while breast cancer causes 88,886 deaths of women.

The results also showed that although more and more people affected by cancer, the longer they age, but in general the number of cancer deaths less.

Although the number of cancer deaths decreased, but increased lung cancer deaths among women in the countries of the European Union.

Deaths from pancreatic cancer in both men and women also showed no reduction in numbers. Presumably this is because therapy is an effective treatment for this cancer is still small.
