Heliophysics

Image
What is Heliophysics? Studying the nature of the Sun and how it influences the very nature of space and the planets and the technology that exists there.  Space is not completely empty: We live in the extended atmosphere of an active star. Our Sun sends out a steady outpouring of particles and energy known as the solar wind, carrying the Sun's writhing magnetic field. This extensive, dynamic solar atmosphere surrounds the Sun, Earth, the planets, and extends far out into the solar system. Why we need to study Heliophysics? It not only helps us understand fundamental information about how the universe works,  Also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space from the effects of space weather.  Space weather events can interfere with our communications, satellites and power grids.  The study of the Sun and space also reveals how stars contribute to the habitability of planets throughout the universe. Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic st...

Candida auris A significant Global threat Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that poses a significant global health threat. First identified in 2009 , this pathogen has now been isolated in over 60 countries across 6 continents.   Its association with outbreaks, high mortality rates of 30% to 60%, and frequent misidentification in clinical laboratories, which has prompted the World Health Organization to classify it as a “critical priority” fungal pathogen.  C auris has since been reported in 61 countries across 6 continents as of 2023. Transmission Environmental contamination plays a crucial role in the transmission process. Patients may shed C auris onto surfaces and fomites, including hallways, chairs, beds, windowsills, counters, electrocardiogram leads, blood pressure cuffs, infusion pumps, and ventilators.Shared multiuse equipment, eg, temperature probes and pulse oximeters, may act as reservoirs. Laboratory studies have shown that C auris can survive...
