 Ebola testing suspended in three Congo labs following supply shortages- WHO Three laboratories in Democratic Republic of Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, the World Health Organization said, as the outbreak of the dangerous Bundibugyo species of the virus continues to grow. The agency said laboratories in Bukavu and Lwiro in South Kivu province, and Goma in North Kivu, had run out of stock. It said that the labs were awaiting the arrival of reagents - substances required to run the tests - to resume work on backlogged samples. There have been almost 600 confirmed cases in the Ebola outbreak and more than 115 deaths, the Congolese government announced on Tuesday evening. There have also been 19 cases and two deaths in neighbouring Uganda linked to the epidemic, which the WHO has declared an international public health emergency. The outbreak continues to spread and has now affected 25 health zones in the provinces of Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu.

102 DEGREE                               The 102 year old woman is identified as Ingeborg Sylim Rapoport,is pictured above with her husband.She received her doctorate from a German university yesterday tuesday,nearly 80 years after the Nazis prevented her from sitting the final exam to officially obtain it.She is an expert in children's infections,and she was presented with her PHD title by Hamburg's UKE University Medical Centre,yesterday,despite having completed her thesis on Diphtheria in 1938.She had studied Medicine in the northern port city and worked at its Israelite Hospital from 1937 to 1938 when she wrote her doctoral dissertation on Diphtheria.By then Hitler's regime had imposed racially motivated legal restrictions which barred her from being allowed to sit her oral exam and obtain her title because of her Jewish descent.Her professor in 1938 had issued a certificate stating he would have passed her thesis at the time if it had been legally possible to do so.She finally successfully sat her oral test in May,the Hamburg University said in a statement,adding she was probably the oldest person in the world to receive a doctorate.Three professors from Hamburg university's medical faculty traveled to her sitting room {house} in East Berlin,where the test was held.Burkhard Goeke,the UKE's Medical Director and Chairman,said they were gratified at being able to restore a piece of justice.''We can't make the injustice that occurred undone,ut our insights into the past shape our perspectives for the future''.
