WASHINGTON michael kors satchel bag uk , Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The second American aid worker diagnosed with Ebola in West Africa was brought back to the United States Tuesday for treatment.
Nancy Writebol arrived in a private plane equipped with a unique containment unit at Dobbins Air Force Base near Atlanta Tuesday morning. The 59-year-old missionary from North Carolina was then transported by ambulance to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital, where she joined her colleague Dr. Kent Brantly in a special isolation unit to receive treatment.
Writebol was reportedly "very weak" but getting better. When she arrived at the hospital, she was taken in by a stretcher.
"After ambulance transfer from Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, the patient arrived at Emory University Hospital on Tuesday michael kors hobo bag sale uk , Aug. 5 at approximately 1:10 p.m. ET (1710 GMT)," the hospital said in a statement.
"This special isolation unit was previously developed to treat patients who are exposed to certain serious infectious diseases. It is physically separate from other patient areas and has unique equipment and infrastructure that provide an extraordinarily high level of clinical isolation," it said.
Writebol was serving on a joint team in Liberia with Brantly of Samaritan's Purse, an international relief organization, when they both contracted the virus.
Brantly michael kors hobo bag uk , 33, was brought back by the same medical evacuation plane on Aug. 2 for treatment. Many experts were surprised to see him walk into the hospital.
Brantly's wife, Amber, said in a statement Tuesday that he is recovering.
"I have been able to see Kent every day, and he continues to improve michael kors selma bag sale uk ," she said. "I am also thrilled to see that Nancy arrived safely in Atlanta today ... we will walk through this recovery time together."
U.S. media reported both patients have been improving after they received a highly experimental antibody cocktail called ZMapp, supplied by San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical.
Scientists from California-based Scripps Research Institute said Tuesday they are investigating antibodies to fight Ebola virus, including the three antibodies used to treat the two Americans.
"Professor Erica Ollmann Saphire and Assistant Professor Andrew Ward are studying the structures of these antibodies using techniques called electron microscopy, which creates high- resolution images by hitting samples with electrons, and X-ray crystallography michael kors selma bag uk , which determines the atomic structure of crystalline arrays of proteins," the institute said in a statement.
"Through these images, the team will discover exactly how the immune system molecules bind to the Ebola virus and stop it from functioning, a critical step in drug development."
The ZMapp treatment is still in experimental stages and has not yet been approved for use outside the two recent cases. According to Saphire, ZMapp is one of the best antibody cocktails currently known michael kors jet set bag uk , but there may still be ways to improve it.
Ebola virus can kill up to 90 percent of those who become infected, and the fatality rate in the current epidemic is about 60 percent.
The outbreak, by far the largest in the nearly 40-year history of the disease, has affected 1,603 and killed 887 people this year in four Western African countries -- Guinea michael kors hamilton bag sale uk , Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, according to the World Health Organization.

HELSINKI, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila believed "not much will be changed" in Finnish-German relations in the wake of the German election results.
Sipila underlined continuity of the bilateral relations in a statement late Sunday and noted that Finland and Germany have had fairly similar views on the development of the eurozone.
Sipila told national broadcaster Yle that he doesn't believe Germany will continue being against increasing joint responsibilities in the eurozone. Sipila noted that the German election result is "pro-Europe" in the sense that the liberal FDP and the Greens were successful.
Teija Tiilikainen, director of the Finnish Institute for International Affairs, said it is in the interest of Finland that Merkel will continue as German chancellor. Finland has maintained close contacts with her in recent years.
Pilvi-Sisko Vierros-Villeneuve michael kors bedford bag sale uk , a leading expert at the Finnish Foreign Ministry, said she believes Germany will be able to be flexible towards the ideas for strengthened economic and monetary union. She recalled that Germany showed flexibility also during the euro crisis. "But there is a limit how far Germany can go," she said.
Tapio Nurminen, a Germany-based analyst for the Finnish commercial television, noted on Monday that the German government will be for the next four years "in the grip of the populists" in the opposition. This will mean that Merkel must pay a lot of attention to domestic issues and must listen particularly to the disappointed voters in Eastern Germany.
"The extreme right became now a tangible political force in Germany and must be listened to. That is bad news for the EU and eurozone that are in need of reforms michael kors bedford bag uk ," Nurminen said.
