WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The highly contagious H5N1 virus, commonly known as avian or bird flu, has been confirmed in two seabirds—both of them Antarctic skuas—on the Antarctic Peninsula. And on February 23, scientists from the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Center of the Higher Council for Scientific Research in Madrid confirmed the presence of the deadly virus for the first time on the Antarctic continent.

Key Points: 
  • But H5N1 doesn't only affect birds; it has caused near-complete breeding failure for some colonies of elephant seals.
  • With the virus now confirmed in Antarctica, the only region to not be affected by this latest H5N1 outbreak is Oceania.
  • "World leaders must immediately move to protect this vital place and all the animals that call it home.
  • "Not only can the species found in the Antarctic Peninsula not withstand increasing threats, but the world needs a healthy Southern Ocean ecosystem."

GAINESVILLE, Fla., Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A 'hands-on' therapy that can feel like a deep massage has replaced major surgeries in two fields of medicine: female infertility and serious digestive problems per researchers at Clear Passage® Therapies. Following decades of research, studies show the therapy has opened totally blocked fallopian tubes in dozens of women, a procedure once thought impossible without surgery. In a controlled study co-authored by independent surgeons, the therapy cleared and decreased life-threatening bowel obstructions, obviating a common emergency surgery.

Key Points: 
  • In a controlled study co-authored by independent surgeons, the therapy cleared and decreased life-threatening bowel obstructions, obviating a common emergency surgery.
  • "Doctors refused to operate again saying that would make matters worse by creating more glue-like adhesions.
  • My husband Larry became a massage therapist.
  • Applicants complete a Medical History Form which Clear Passage® reviews at no charge to determine appropriateness and likelihood of success.
