When treating respiratory infections, many Russians still rely on outdated or ineffective methods. According to physician Anastasia Agaeva, the most common mistake is the use of antibiotics, which do not help against viruses and should only be used for confirmed bacterial infections.
Other ineffective treatments include antiviral drugs without proven efficacy, homeopathy, and immunomodulators. These products often fail to aid recovery and may even trigger side effects such as diarrhea or allergic reactions.
Common but harmful home remedies include excessive intake of vitamin C, rubbing the body with alcohol or vinegar, using mustard plasters or suction cups, and rinsing the nose with antiseptics. These actions are not supported by science and may harm the body.
The most effective strategy is to follow a doctor’s advice. For prevention, hygiene, proper nutrition, and avoiding contact with sick individuals are key.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
