Local and international companies will present at the Biomed conference vaccines against infectious diseases and transmission methods * An Israeli start-up company will present at the Agritech exhibition a solution for the early detection of disease in pig herds
"As a leading conference in the world of life sciences, it is very important that Biomed Israel consistently presents topics that have a huge global impact," says Ruti Alon, chair of the conference. "We were lucky enough to host world-class experts this year in the field of flu vaccines and their delivery, and we are excited about presenting these technologies to all conference participants."
Among the companies that will participate in the conference will be the pharmaceutical company BiondVax, which is developing a vaccine that will provide multi-year global protection with a special effort to protect against infectious influenza viruses between humans.
"Outbreaks of viruses such as swine flu are exactly the reason we are developing our vaccine. These vaccines will indeed cost money, but treating a global epidemic could be much more expensive, especially in light of the global economic challenges facing us today," says Dr. Ron Babkoff, veterinarian, founder, president and CEO of BiondVax. "Biomed Israel is an important meeting place for Israeli companies such as BiondVax, to show the world how Israel plays an important role in helping people live healthier and longer lives."
During the three days of the conference, managers from leading companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson Allegran, Avelere, Coviden and start-up companies from around the world operating in the field of biomeds will present, including the pharmaceutical company Oramed, which is developing a unique technology for delivering drugs by ingestion (which are currently only given by injection). "Until now, Ora-Med has focused on giving insulin to diabetics, but there is no reason why our system cannot also be used to transfer other medicines, such as a global flu vaccine," says Nadav Kidron, the company's CEO. "By removing the need for needles and injections, we will provide the possibility of delivering the flu vaccine without pain, a factor that is especially important for children and the elderly."
Biomed Israel Week is a joint initiative of the Israeli Life Sciences Industries Association (ILSI) and Kens International. The event, which includes an exhibition and a conference, which is taking place for the 8th year, deals for a week with life science topics on their various sides and is considered one of the leaders in its field in the world. The conference is expected to attract over 6,000 Israeli and international CEOs, experts, academic researchers, scientists, investors and representatives of venture capital funds. Biomed 2009 represents an important opportunity to study the current trends in health, regulatory issues, compensations, and treatments from the best international experts.
A chip for the early detection of influenza in pigs
The Israeli start-up company "Carta Senses" will present at the international agricultural exhibition "Agritech 2009" an original development that can help in the early detection and prevention of the spread of swine flu. The innovative system includes a tag given to each pig that measures its physiological data 24 hours a day: heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and the number of steps it takes. The information is transmitted in real time to the mobile device and computer of the herd manager, and thus any abnormality or change in the health status of the pigs is revealed immediately and makes it possible to isolate the sick animals from the herd and treat them, thus stopping the spread of the epidemic.
5 guests are expected to come to the "Agritech" exhibition that will be held on Tuesday - Thursday (May 7-4000) at the fair center in Tel Aviv, among others from countries affected by swine flu or in great danger.
Danny Meiri, the CEO of the exhibition, said that the system knows how to give the owner of the farm the exact location of the sick animals and where they have been, a factor of great importance in huge farms for raising pigs abroad that cover large areas and include many details. With the help of the development, the breeder can share the information received with government offices and veterinarians in real time. This allows the experts and authorized authorities to assist him in the process, since it is a process that must be carried out quickly, the ability to share information in real time is critical to treatment.
The exhibition predicts that the development will arouse great interest due to the heavy fear of the spread of the disease and its transformation into a global epidemic. The new development is also suitable for application in cattle and sheep herds.

To your Dr. number 27 - I admit that I am not worried about the pigs, but more about myself. I hope that your words are true and that those who are not in the risk group are not threatened by the disease in an unusual way. There is still a feeling in the media that the hidden is more than the visible.
The swine flu is like a normal flu, only they added pigs to it
And why blame them for this?????
It was a Mexican boy who got the common flu and infected those around him and in addition to that he was found to have the common flu and those who got infected from him were the swine flu patients
Aye, it sucks and sucks, an annoying and scary disease is nothing to be alarmed about, only the people from the risk groups that are published today in the newspapers can be alarmed, but ordinary people are not afraid of a strong disease, but of a mild and normal disease that can be treated at home.
The main thing is that all the idiots are in one mind (of course there is still room left in the same head):
She comes to his "defense" on the grounds that he is a child (or in other words - she explains his behavior - which is also infantile in her opinion - as a result of age) and he happily accepts the defense and leaves it to continue his stupid blasphemy campaign.
cypress,
If they asked me to guess Oren's age I would say 70 years old and describe him as old, single, without children
that they threw him out of the house and beat him as a child..
I will also explain to you why if you pay attention to his responses they are from the hours of the day.
If you respond to one of his comments, you will notice that he replies quite quickly, which proves that he tries to be on the site as much as possible and waits for someone to respond to one of his comments, and when it happens, he jumps on the one who responds to him [because he is really excited that he is being noticed]
And also pay attention to the unfunny jokes, which gives the possibility of "trying to stand out"
And after that he tries to step on the person who responded to him and this proves that he was beaten as a child because he is used to not being treated and being beaten so he is blind
And I think that's how the ladder works, that in order to be on top, you have to take someone down
Or rather he is afraid that if he is nice to people then they will step on him like his mother did to him.
I said he was old because what does a young man have to do on the computer?! He should have a job, a wife, children
Instead of being on the site and messing with cute kids [like me]
Oren we are with you and we love you =]
And it's a shame there are people like you.
"I don't remember being an idiot at that age"
You don't remember honey, because all the kids in the class beat you, someone must have hit the side of your memory and poof, you're going to be senile like Michael [57 years old] haha I'm glad you found a new friend.
How old are you Oren? It would be helpful if we knew.
Cypress (and I'll guess Hogin? 🙂 ),
What you said explains a lot... but, if I can give up subtlety and being politically correct - I don't remember being an idiot at that age. So being 17 years old is not really a run
The name itself as 'Judge' Oren,
It's a shame that you didn't notice that the object (Yenon) you joked about in your pranks with Mr. M. (57 years old) is in fact a minor who is doubtful if he has reached the age of 17 (a child, affected by the former site's censors).
Yanon:
You probably think you've had a death experience so you think you know what you're talking about.
The problem is that the death you experienced was only brain death and the damage this event left in your brain does not allow you to understand this.
Avi,
Maybe start publishing articles on death topics, you are quite close to the topic =)
If you want I can help you.
But only if you want to.
Avi,
Think that you are here, you will know best what is happening in the world..
Think=] According to the picture, you look 50 to 60 years old, you will die soon!
Think about the second you're down here and then suddenly you'll have this section of everything stops everything stops working and something strange happens to you that pulls you from a force you've never known and you're drawn to it! And you're afraid you'll have fear, awe and shame and you don't know what to do with yourself..well I think you'll know the rest after all it's a shame to just ruin you..after all you have a few more years left =]
I wanted to write this too, but I wanted to be short.
Mmm Oren, are you new..
It's strange to me but I don't care what you think of me I'll tell you why it's strange because I'm one of those people who doesn't care how people see my image as I build it but it's strange because you don't interest me =]
[And this is not a joke site here]
Michael R. The senile [formerly Michael the sick]
I wasn't impressed by you and I can't be from the website either, if I wanted to be impressed by creatures like you I would go to a zoo
[And I will be very impressed by you, there are not many creatures like you, you will become extinct]
What a shame.
Yanon:
The fact that you got the impression that I'm senile (yes - that's how we humans write this word) as well as the fact that the facts surprise you (or are strange to you) - all this fits well with who I remember you to be.
Haha, Michael - I just thought of that joke.
As they say, every legend sometimes has a kernel of truth? So this is definitely true for this joke.
By the way, I addressed comment 10, but comment 11 doesn't really change my opinion of you anyway
Yanon Sharav's son comes to the father and says:
Today we learned at school that man is the son of the monkey!
Maybe you, Yanon answers him, but I'm not under any circumstances!
Yanon Sharav,
I didn't quite know how to judge you and treat you as a human being before your last comment.
Thank you for helping me and preventing me from even trying to have a civilized discussion with you. It is clear to me that you are one of those people that only aliens can create, because the theory of natural selection is unable to explain phenomena like yours.
Michael,
"Yenon fought with logic"
It's strange that you remember that from the impression you gave last time, I was glad to know that you are senile.
It's a shame that you don't know basic information like this!
"Know where you came from, and where you are going, and before whom you will be judged"
Avi,
I will also never argue with the theory about the way you were created [about being a monkey in your purpose and essence and I made it clear]
Yes I was [in the past] Thanks for mentioning it I just got off the site and I'm back to being healthy [BA]
I wanted to visit the people from whom I was infected.. after all, forgiving everyone is part of my principles =)
And in general doing a sick visit to someone like you is difficult for me to describe the magnitude of the mitzvah and the reward I will receive above.
Avi:
In my opinion, you would not repeat truths such as evolution if there were no liars who repeat their lies and try to deceive mankind by repeating over and over the claim that there is no evolution.
Yanon shared with logic:
You haven't disturbed us in a long time. What happened? were you sick
If I repeat something, evolution for example, it's only because it's the truth 🙂
Avi,
He tried different methods and it didn't work =(
So he tries your methods.
Do you believe that if you repeat nonsense a thousand times it will become true?
