A new early-detection test for malaria does not require a blood sample, a n d i n s t e a d d e t e c t s t h e
presence of the disease by listening for it.The team, from Rice University, based the
method on the presence of hemoozion, a nanoparticle produced inside the red blood cell by the malaria parasite. They found that subjecting the homozoin to a short wave laser pulse will cause it to create a short-lived, vapor nanobubble that will emit a signature sound when it pops. This sound can be picked up by a sensitive acoustic device, allowing the disease to be detected in the early stages without the need to draw blood or use a reagent. Additionally, once the device is fully developed it will not even require a medical professional to carry out the testing.
The new device was able to detect a single malaria-infected cell among a sample of one million healthy cells, with no false positive.
Mr.S.Mahadevu, brother of Rtn.Kumarswamy passed away on 15th Jan 2014. May the departed
soul rest in peace.

RI President-elect Gary C.K. Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucious who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than
to sit and curse the darkness.""There are so many problems in the world,
so many people who need help. Many people say, 'There's nothing I can do.' So they sit there doing nothing. Meanwhile everything stays dark," Huang told the 537 district governors and their spouses and partners who are attending the 2014 International Assembly in San Diego, California.
"The Rotary way is the Confucius way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one, you light one, 1.2 million Rotarians light one. Together, we light up the world," said Huang, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei in Taiwan. https://www.rotary.org/myrotary/en/
