Hyperspectral Corp. has been issued a patent for systems and methods for screening asymptomatic virus emitters. The patent describes a system that uses light sources, a sample device, a vortex mask, a detector, and a processor to detect and measure wavelength intensities from a biological sample. The system compares the measurements to a set of reference measurements and provides an alert if a subset of the measurements indicates the presence of a pathogen. The invention aims to address the challenges of wide-scale screening for viral infections by providing a faster and more accurate testing method. [Extracted from the article]

A patent application titled "Compositions And Methods For Mucosal Vaccination Against Sars-Cov-2" has been published online. The inventors propose using the FcRn receptor to deliver SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens and induce protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection. The peptides described in the patent application consist of a monomeric Fc fragment of an immunoglobulin recognized by FcRn, a SARS-CoV-2 antigen (such as the spike protein), and a trimerization domain. The inventors suggest that mucosal vaccination, specifically intranasal delivery, could be an effective approach to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and reinfection. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses an outbreak of Chagas disease, a tropical disease primarily transmitted through insect bites, that occurred through oral transmission. The outbreak affected 39 individuals and was investigated through clinical and epidemiological methods. The study highlights the challenges in managing Chagas disease, including the vulnerability of certain populations, outdated diagnostic techniques, and limited treatment options. The authors emphasize the importance of early treatment and propose the standardization of molecular biology techniques for diagnosis. It is important to note that this article has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]

A patent application has been submitted for a method and system to detect the state of a person's health, particularly during the incubation period of diseases. The method involves using multiple temperature sensors, including a skin sensor, to detect body temperature and transmit the data to an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit compares the detected body temperature values with standard values to assess the person's health. The system can also incorporate other vital signs such as pulse, blood oxygen content, movement patterns, blood pressure, breathing rate, skin resistance, and sleep phases. The goal of this invention is to detect potential infections early without disrupting a person's daily routines. [Extracted from the article]

Hyperspectral Corp. has been issued a patent for systems and methods for screening asymptomatic virus emitters. The patent describes a system that uses light sources, a sample device, a vortex mask, a detector, and a processor to detect and measure wavelength intensities impacted by the light passing through a sample obtained from a person's exhalation. The system aims to provide measurement results based on these intensities, which can be used to identify infection by COVID-19. The patent addresses the limitations of current testing methods, such as lack of speed, accuracy, resources, and cost, and proposes a solution for wide-scale screening. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses the Toscana virus (TOSV), which is a leading cause of viral meningitis in central Italy and the south of France. The virus is transmitted by sand flies belonging to the Phlebotomus genus, but little is known about its developmental cycle within the vector species. The study investigated the infection dynamics of TOSV in Phlebotomus perniciosus and found that the virus disseminated throughout the sand flies' bodies approximately three days after infection. This research confirms the vector competence of Ph. perniciosus and provides insight into the impact of TOSV on the sand flies' life history traits. Further studies are needed to explore TOSV transmission dynamics and its implications. [Extracted from the article]

"In addition, the present invention can calculate an expected time of reaching body temperature in an infection stage and an estimated time of an onset of fever in the infection stage, by using an increase and decrease rate of a body temperature deviation value over time. "However, when calculating a body temperature value in a normal state, the prior art simply calculates the average value by using the accumulated body temperature data and then compares and determines whether a body temperature is higher or lower than this average value. In addition, there are serious problems in that there are no analysis algorithm that can identify an individual suspected of infection in the virus incubation period by tracking continuous body temperature measurement value and that there are a lot of asymptomatic infection in which fever is not recognized after viral infection.
