            <description>Newly evolved enzymes make some bacteria resistant to all common antibioticsHealthcare workers slow to receive flu vaccinesCountries not doing enough to combat “superbugs”About 7 million Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) in the U.S. and Europe each yearAccording to a meeting of over 60 infectious disease experts, the global medical community must act on three imminent threats to patients across the world. First threat: common bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) are now producing enzymes which make the bacteria capable of de-activating all but the antibiotics that specialists reserve as a last line of defense. Second threat: healthcare workers themselves may be contributing to the spread of infections by failing to get flu vaccinations and, in some countries, coming...</description>

            <description>Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the United States and the 4th most common worldwide. The combination of a test for a new prostate cancer biomarker, Annexin 3, with the standard screening methods could potentially reduce the number of biopsies conducted by up to 75%, when compared with current screening methods alone.
