Are ozobranchid leeches the key to low-temperature preservation of organs? |
|
|
|
HP: A team of Japanese researchers recently discovered that Ozobranchus jantseanus is capable of surviving extremely cold temperatures. And while the so-called super leech's resistance to the cold is remarkable in its own right, scientists are interested in learning how the organism is capable of such a feat since it could hold the key to cryopreservation, the process of preserving cells and tissues at sub-zero temperatures. "Ozobranchid leeches have a mysterious mechanism to prevent freezing. I want to get to the heart of the matter," researcher Takahiro Kikawada said, according to The Asahi Shimbun.

FDA: Fresenius 2008 Series Hemodialysis Machines: Models: 2008H, 2008K, 2008K2, 2008k@Home, 2008T The 2008H Hemodialysis machine is indicated for acute and chronic dialysis therapy. Hemodialysis is indicated for patients with acute or chronic renal failure, when conservative therapy is judged to be inadequate. The dialysate delivery machine is used for hemodialysis in hospital, dialysis centers, and at home. The 2008K, 20081(2 and 2008T hemodialysis machines are designed to perform hemodialysis in hospitals and dialysis clinics. They can be used for patients suffering chronic or acute renal failure. The 2008K, 2008K2 and 2008T are designed to provide hemodialysis treatment by controlling and monitoring both the dialysate and extracorporeal blood circuits. The Fresenius 2008K~home is indicated for acute and chronic dialysis therapy in an acute or chronic facility. The 2008K~home is also indicated for hemodialysis in the home and must be observed by a trained and qualified person as prescribed by their physician.

Scribes in healthcare settings free up physician time to talk to patients. |
|

NY Times: Without much fanfare or planning, scribes have entered the scene in hundreds of clinics and emergency rooms. Physicians who use them say they feel liberated from the constant note-taking that modern electronic health records systems demand. Indeed, many of those doctors say that scribes have helped restore joy in the practice of medicine, which has been transformed — for good and for bad — by digital record-keeping.
