ISRAEL’S MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Universal Flu vaccine gets EU and Japanese patents. The European Union and Japan have granted patents to the universal flu vaccine Multimeric-001 (M-001) developed by Israel’s BiondVax. The ex-Weizmann Institute technology already has patents in the United States, Hong Kong, Australia, China, Russia and Mexico.

US approval for Israeli ECG system. The US FDA has approved the innovative ECG system HyperQ Analyzer Rest developed by Israeli biotech BSP. HyperQ can test patients at rest, diagnosing early-stage heart disease without putting the patient under stress. It is less risky than alternative invasive and radioactivity tests.

Boost for GVHD treatment. The US FDA has given orphan status to Glassia from Israel’s Kamada, to treat Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Preliminary studies indicate that Glassia may be able to treat and reduce the severity of GVHD, a key life-threatening complication of stem cell transplantation from another person.

App improves eyesight of Israeli pilots. The Israeli app GlassesOff has been tested successfully on 32 Israeli Air Force pilots. On average, a 35% improvement in visual acuity (sharpness and clarity) was achieved after 3 months of exercises for just 12-15 minutes, three times a week. GlassesOff improves the brain, not the eyes.
