U.S. regulators have paved the way forTekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. to potentially give an Ebola treatment to humans infected with the deadly disease.The Food and Drug Administration had previously put tests of the drug, known as TKM-Ebola, on hold. The Vancouver-based company today said the agency altered the drug’s status to possibly allow use of the drug in individuals infected withthe virus that’s killed 932 in West Africa since March.“We have been closely watching the Ebola virus outbreak and its consequences, and we are willing to assist with any responsible use of TKM-Ebola,” Tekmira’sChief Executive Officer Mark Murray said in a statement. “The foresight shown by the FDA removes one potential roadblock to doing so.”Tekmira’s drug is not the one that was administered to the two American aid workers infected with Ebola in Liberia, whoare now being treated in Atlanta. They were given Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc.’sexperimental therapy, called ZMapp.Human testing of Tekmira’s Ebola treatment was put on hold last month due to safety concerns. Tekmira said the studies were suspended because of an inflammatory, flu-like response seen in healthy volunteers taking higher doses of the drug. The company previously said it expected the hold to be resolved by the end of the year.TKM-Ebola had earlier been fast-tracked by regulators in a process designed to expedite the review of drugs for serious conditions and unmet medical needs. Thetherapy is in the first of three stages of clinical trials usually required by regulators for approval.The Ebola virus hassickened1,711 people in West Africa in the latest outbreak, according to the World Health Organization. It has no cure. Current treatment is to hydrate patients, replace lost blood and use antibiotics to fight off opportunistic infections. The hope is that the patient’s immune system will be able to fight the disease off.Ebola has historically killed as many as 90percent of those who contract it. The current outbreak has claimed the lives of about 60 percent of its victims.

MEILYN: Wow, a perfect song. Good lyrics, nice chorus, nice beat.
lol. I know i wasnt born in a rich family but its hard to make hard money...

You have gotten yourself a lil bow wow. Thats how he started bro.

Who sang that Chorus abeg?

Philz my friend. I've done some good songs for him too

Researchers at Johns Hopkins say they have just discovered the way in which red wine consumption protects the brain from damage following a stroke.

Red wine makes you live longer

A new study demonstrates what researchers consider conclusive evidence that the red wine compound resveratrol directly activates a protein that promotes health and longevity in animal models. What's more, the researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanism for this interaction, and show that a class of more potent drugs currently in clinical trials act in a similar fashion. Pharmaceutical compounds similar to resveratrol may potentially treat and prevent diseases related to aging in people,the authors contend.

thanks op. I just finished building a new studio with some high end equipments.......my productions would be a lot better.

check out this freestyle..... I did it two years ago. I produced it myself. I was just playing in the studio. tell me what you feel about it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9gg5jugi2l84s71/kill%20d%20beat.mp3

I subscribed to night plan of 2,500 naira monthly after I exhausted my bonus mb. I noticed that anytime I browsed on Saturday and Sunday, there's no restriction. I browse freely on Saturday and Sunday. But starting from Monday to Friday I will need to wait till 9:00pm. Even beyond that before it will connect.[/quote]

ALBERT EINSTEIN MAY BE WRONG AFTER ALL. SPEED OF LIGHT IS NOT CONSTANT ACCORDING TO RECENT STUDIES https://www.nairaland.com/1270412/speed-light-not-constant-new

New research challenges established wisdom about the nature of vacuum, showing that the speed of light may not be fixed after all, but rather fluctuates. At the the University of Paris-Sud, Marcel Urban from and colleagues identified a quantum-level mechanism for interpreting vacuum as being filled with pairs of virtual particles with fluctuating energy values. As a result, the inherent characteristics of vacuum, such as the speed of light, may not be a constant after all, but fluctuate. In another study at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Light, Gerd Leuchs and Luis L. Sánchez-Soto, suggest that physical constants, such as the speed of light and the impedance of free space (377 ohms), are indications of the total number of elementary particles in nature.
Vacuum is one of the most elusive concepts in physics. When observed at the quantum level, vacuum is not empty. It is filled with continuously appearing and disappearing particle pairs such as electron-positron or quark-antiquark pairs. These ephemeral particles are real particles, but their lifetimes are extremely brief.

Urban and colleagues established, for the first time, a detailed quantum mechanism that would explain the magnetization and polarization of the vacuum, referred to as vacuum permeability and permittivity, and the finite speed of light. This finding is relevant because it suggests the existence of a limited number of ephemeral particles per unit volume in a vacuum. As a result, there is a theoretical possibility that the speed of light is not fixed, as conventional physics has assumed. Instead, it could fluctuate at a level independent of the energy of each light quantum, or photon, and greater than fluctuations induced by quantum-level gravity.

The speed of light would be dependent on variations in the vacuum properties of space or time. The fluctuations of the photon propagation time are estimated to be on the order of 50 attoseconds per square meter of crossed vacuum, which might be testable with the help of new ultra-fast lasers.

Leuchs and Sanchez-Soto, on the other hand, modeled virtual charged particle pairs as electric dipoles responsible for the polarization of the vacuum. They found that a specific property of vacuum called the impedance, which is crucial to determining the speed of light, depends only on the sum of the square of the electric charges of particles but not on their masses.

If their idea is correct, the value of the speed of light combined with the value of vacuum impedance gives an indication of the total number of charged elementary particles existing in nature. Experimental results support this hypothesis.
