La idea de que una sola píldora pueda combatir varias enfermedades infecciosas a la vez, empieza a tomar forma. Todavía queda mucho para que un medicamento así llegue a las farmacias, pero en los laboratorios ya empieza a gestarse el germen de lo que podría ser una nueva familia de medicamentos panvirales.
The short-lived Danish levy on fatty foods was heavily criticised when it was first introduced in October 2011. But research shows that the fat tax achieved its objective in changing Danish grocery shopping habits, and saving lives.
A new research collaboration between Oxford University and Copenhagen University found that contrary to public belief, the Danes bought 4% less saturated fat, more vegetables and more salty products, while the fat tax was in force between October 2011 and January 2013.
Imagine that you were a major investor in a leading company, and its board of directors had no members with independent, world-class financial expertise. Who would look after your interests? You could probably coach the directors to ask good questions, but they would lack the competence to judge the answers. The board would not be able to engage management in robust conversations about the complexities of capital structure, mergers and acquisitions, financial accounting, reporting, regulatory compliance, or risk management. Most investors and regulators would deem such a board unfit to carry out its fiduciary guidance and governance responsibilities.
La compañía de vehículos Honda ha lanzado una campaña con prototipos de vehículos que se conducen solos y con la que pretenden acercar a este nuevo modo de transporte al usuario sin asustarle.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a growing health concern in many occupations and disciplines. From amateur and professional athletes to soldiers and first responders, more and more people worldwide are at risk of sustaining TBIs and suffering potentially debilitating long-term effects.
TBIs can happen anywhere, from battlefields to sports arenas, at home or on the road. Among both children and adults, falls are the leading cause of these impacts to the head, followed by blunt trauma, car crashes, and assaults.
Inside a large, windowless room in an electronics factory in south Shanghai, about 15 workers are eyeing a small robot arm with frustration. Near the end of the production line where optical networking equipment is being packed into boxes for shipping, the robot sits motionless.
“The system is down,” explains Nie Juan, a woman in her early 20s who is responsible for quality control. Her team has been testing the robot for the past week. The machine is meant to place stickers on the boxes containing new routers, and it seemed to have mastered the task quite nicely. But then it suddenly stopped working. “The robot does save labor,” Nie tells me, her brow furrowed, “but it is difficult to maintain.”
Mitsubishi Motors admitió hoy que ha incumplido la normativa nipona para medir la eficiencia de combustible de sus vehículos desde 1991, lo que amplía el escándalo de manipulación de este tipo de datos para varios de sus modelos.
La empresa ha empleado métodos de prueba que Japón ya no da por válidos desde hace 25 años, y además reutilizó datos técnicos de determinados modelos para medir la eficiencia energética de otros vehículos, según anunció hoy en rueda de prensa el presidente de la compañía, Tetsuro Aikawa.
Mitsubishi Motors ha admitido estas irregularidades una semana después de reconocer que había falseado los datos sobre eficiencia energética de varios de sus modelos de minivehículos, de los cuales se han vendido unas 625.000 unidades en Japón.
Nonie Hickle’s hair is coal-dark. Her husband, Vincent, marvels at it. He points to it and says, “No gray!” Nonie’s a little amazed too; she thinks it’s kind of spooky. After all, she’s 91 years old.
Statistically speaking, Hickle, who lives in San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood, should be sick. She ought to have cardiovascular disease, cancer, or heart failure. Yet she doesn’t have any of those things. True, her hearing has been going bad over the past several years. And she has a touch, just a touch, of high blood pressure. But if you were to look at this 4'11" Korean-American nonagenarian, you wouldn’t peg her at a day over 70.
Redwood City-based Naya Health has raised $3.9 million in seed funding to make a breast pump that is sleeker, quieter and more comfortable for moms than the devices already on the market.
