Read the entire communication: Safety Communications > Design of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Duodenoscopes May Impede Effective Cleaning: FDA Safety Communication - FDA.gov:

"The FDA wants to raise awareness among health care professionals, including those working in reprocessing units in health care facilities, that the complex design of ERCP endoscopes (also called duodenoscopes) may impede effective reprocessing. Reprocessing is a detailed, multistep process to clean and disinfect or sterilize reusable devices. Recent medical publications and adverse event reports associate multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in patients who have undergone ERCP with reprocessed duodenoscopes, even when manufacturer reprocessing instructions are followed correctly. Meticulously cleaning duodenoscopes prior to high-level disinfection should reduce the risk of transmitting infection, but may not entirely eliminate it."

Scientists Find a Way to Block HIV from Infecting Healthy Cells | TIME


"Michael Farzan, professor of infectious diseases at Scripps Research Institute, and his team used a gene therapy technique to introduce a specific HIV disruptor that acted like gum on HIV’s keys. Once stuck on the virus’s surface, the peptide complex prevents HIV from slipping into the molecular locks on healthy cells. "

Read the full article: Does a Real Anti-Aging Pill Already Exist? - Bloomberg Business (re: rapamycin & its derivatives):

"An innovative clinical trial set to begin in March may resolve some of these issues. Kaeberlein and his University of Washington colleague Daniel Promislow plan to test the drug in small doses in middle-aged pet dogs. Rather than looking at life span, which would take years, they will look for signs that the drug is affecting key aging-related parameters, such as arterial stiffness and cardiac function. If successful, rapamycin and its derivatives could end up as the first anti-aging drug—for dogs. Kaeberlein wouldn’t mind: “I love my dogs,” he says. “If there’s anything we can do to make them live longer, healthier lives, we have to do it. I feel like I personally have to do this.”"
