Israel Awareness

IN MEDICAL INNOVATION?.....
Good things come in small sizes:
The tiniest medical camera in the world, invented by an
Israeli company, measures 0.05 inches, is cheap to produce
and should eliminate the need for many invasive, costly and
risky procedures. Seeing is believing when it comes to many
medical diagnoses, and that often necessitates invasive
surgical procedures, X-rays and radioactive dyes. But what if
you could just use a camera? Medigus, an Israeli company that specializes in
developing innovative endoscopic devices and procedures, has teamed up with Tower
Semiconductor. The device, which measures 0.05 inches in diameter, can be
incorporated into endoscopes so that doctors receive a direct visual of even the
narrowest lumens (cavities or channels within tubular structures) in the body. This
would eliminate the need for invasive surgeries, X-rays and other costly and sometimes
risky procedures. Mounted on a disposable endoscope the camera is also cheap to
produce and doesn't need to be sterilized after each use.
THE WORLD OF A “BRIS?”…. (no picture for this one!)With its vast experience in
male circumcision, Israel is training African doctors in a procedure that could cut the
risk of contracting HIV by as much as 65%..
MORE?..... Believe it!!! Israeli, P.A. and Jordanian health officials are working together to
diagnose and contain the new swine flu virus as part of a long-term mission to fight infectious
diseases in their area of the world,
IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET? …..

The Bank of Israel predicts the rally in real estate prices will undergo a
correction next year. Housing prices are expected to ease while rental prices
of apartments may rise.


I hope you have enjoyed our “conversation” and I invite your
suggestions, comments, corrections, etc. Until our next issue,
be well and soon….soon we’ll shmooze more!
