HSV-1 (herpes labialis) was once defined almost exclusively as oral herpes and HSV-2 (herpes genitalis) as genital herpes. It is now accepted that the previous rule of thumb: "HSV-1 above the waist and HSV-2 below the waist" no longer applies due to several factors including the changing of sexual mores and the declining adolescent HSV-1 infection rate in developed nations. Infection with the herpes virus is categorized into one of several distinct disorders based on the site of infection. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores, infects the face and mouth. Infection of the genitals, commonly known as herpes, is the second most common form of herpes. staff@medicalread.com (Medicalread Staff) Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.medicalread.com/articles/2952/1/airinspace-raises-85-million-eur-6-million-in-vc-financing-to-expand-international-market-penetration-for-biodecontamination-devices-providing-elimination-of-deadly-airborne-microorganisms------quotour-one-of-a-kind-technology-platform-is-designed-.html AirInSpace, the leading supplier of mobile 'catch and kill' bioprotection devices in the French medical market, announced today that it has closed on an $8.5 million staff@medicalread.com (Medicalread Staff) Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.medicalread.com/articles/2941/1/mosquito-trapping-via-satellite-with-new-skeeterbagcom-service.html Skeeterbag.com is on schedule to launch a new Hi-tech Mosquito Trapping Service that catches mosquitoes via satellite. staff@medicalread.com (Medicalread Staff) Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.medicalread.com/articles/2930/1/airinspace-receives-fda-clearance-to-market-an-advanced-mobile-device-that-captures-and-inactivates-biological-particles-from-the-air-for-medical-purposes-------company-also-appoints-wade-tetsuka-as-president-of-its-us-----operations-and-establishes-he.html AirInSpace, the leading supplier in the French market of mobile devices that capture and inactivate harmful and resistant biological particles from the air, announced today that it has received FDA clearance to market its PlasmairT2006 by AirInSpace mobile system as a medical device.
