Third patient got a Neuralink brain implant. The work is part of a booming field-Elon Musk

Elon Musk addressed a campaign town hall in support of Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump in Folsom, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, October 17, 2024. During a live-streamed interview at a Las Vegas event on his social media platform X, Musk announced that a third individual has received an implant from his brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, which is among several organizations working to link the nervous system with machines.

World AMR Day.

 It’s World AMR Awareness Week, and there are things you need to know:


🦠 Antimicrobial resistance or AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to treatment.


💊 Antimicrobials are medicines used to prevent and treat infections, such as antibiotics and antivirals.


🤒 The overuse and misuse of antimicrobials causes microbes to adapt and become resistant, making medicine ineffective against infections.


⚠️ AMR threatens our ability to treat common infections and to perform life-saving procedures.


AMR kills more people annually than any single infectious disease. Staying healthy is important to protect yourself from AMR. Here’s what you can do:


✅ Keep your hands clean

✅ Only take antibiotics when prescribed

✅ Never share antibiotics

✅ Stay up-to-date with your vaccines 


AMR can affect anyone - turning minor injuries, routine surgeries, or common infections into life-threatening situations.


💪🏻 If we act now, we can still preserve the effectiveness of life-saving treatments
