ABSTRACT Introduction “ CESSATION OF LIFE IS INEVITABLE “ ........... PROLONGING AT WHAT COST ? " LIVING WILL " Many thousands of patients are kept alive in comatose and permanently vegetative states. Have we ever considered the sufferings and pain of the patient who is not able to speak and the cost burden to their families & government . Nearly 80% of all deaths are unnecessarily prolonged, painful, expensive, and emotionally burdensome to both patients and their families . In underdeveloped countries where health care is not a part of Government system, patients and their families pay from their pocket …

Flash4 Dark Reference Images, George Mcnamara

Hamamatsu FLASH4.0 dark reference images, acquired with 10 second exposure times, no light to camera. Camera offset (set by Hamamatsu( is ~100 (the average intensity of the first image is always ~1 intensity level higher - an odd feature, but trivial in practice for a 16-bit camera).

Tpn Collaboration And Nutrition Screening Value Stream, Kimberly Procaccino

Kimberly Procaccino

The TPN collaboration section of the presentation outlines the importance of "team" in enhancing nutrition response/patient outcomes via allocation of "time" for RD and MD/extender case load rounding. The nutrition screening section reports results of the regulary risk associated with the current nutrition screening process and plan for correction to reduce or eliminate risk.

Tattletales is my concept for spatial multiplexing many fluorescent protein (FP) biosensors in the same live cell. For example, there are excellent FP biosensors to Ca++ ions, pH, glucose, ribose, glutamine, glutamate, ATP, redox, ROS, pyruvate, cAMP, cGMP, IP3, PI(3,4,5)P3, cell cycle indicators (Fucci2), PKA, PKC, photsphatases, caspase(s) [1, 2]. However, these are typically used one biosensor per experiment, due in part to flooding …
