Medscape, the famous medical website, counted 31 medical news that was most concerned by doctors in 2016. More than 60% of doctors said that the Zika virus outbreak was the most concerned news in the past year...
1. Zika crisis
In 2016, Zika virus suddenly swept the world after nearly 70 years of discovery.
The virus began to erupt in 2015, and by February 2016, it has affected 34 countries around the world. As the population moves and spreads, it swept the world, and the pandemic in the Americas is particularly serious.
In February, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that carrying Zika virus would cause birth defects in newborns, such as microcephaly.
This year's Brazil Olympic Games was affected by the Zika virus. 150 doctors, scientists and ethicists from more than 10 countries jointly signed an open letter requesting WHO to relocate the Rio Olympics or postpone it. Although it was “rejectedâ€, Zika’s impact on global health and panic cannot be underestimated.
2. The world's first "three parents" child was born
In April of this year, a healthy baby without mitochondrial genetic disease was born. Because the baby's mother is defective due to the mitochondrial gene, the first two children are suffering from difficult diseases, both of which are aborted. The third child was modified by a medical team from the United States during the birth, and the mother's original egg was found to be defective. The DNA is replaced by the egg DNA donated by another healthy woman, and the baby is finally born healthy.
Since the US government does not recognize the technology, the above-mentioned US medical research team has done this work in Mexico without legally prohibited bans in order to avoid legal disputes.
