Army Forces Research Better Body Armour

December 21, 2011 Technology No Comments

It’s been the same for ancient and modern warfare; soldiers wearing body armour have a higher life expectancy. From stopping arrows, stones and swords to shrapnel, bullets and explosives armour is most definitely the last line of defence for soldiers on the ground.

Unwieldy combat body armour can actually increase the chances of mortality. For bomb squads protected work gloves are all good and well to protect the bomb squad from losing their fingers in an explosion, but if they can’t adequately use their hands that can almost guarantee an accident.

December 14, 2011 Health No Comments

With the way the world is evolving and the numerous diseases presenting themselves in all forms; it stands to reason that half the world’s doctors and pathologists are tirelessly around the clock to find cures for diseases. Many of us take vaccines and medicines for granted, it’s best that we understand these forms of cure. How do vaccines work?

The body’s immune system fights battles each and every day that we’re not aware of and the more equipped it is to deal with infections, the better we stave or infections. Sometimes we’re not lucky enough to beat an infection, but our bodies then – with the help of medicine – kicks up a gear and it may take longer, but the immune system then recognises the infection, should it come back. Pathologists and medical couriers the world over are constantly working to get vaccines to the four corners of the globe.
