Cell therapy technologies and methods have already started to play an important role in the practice of medicine. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is replacing the old fashioned bone marrow transplants. Cell therapy is bound to become a part of medical practice. Unlike organs, cells are a potentially renewable resource for body repair. The goal of this report is to review the market for cell therapy products using screening reagents and instruments for analysis of individual components in tissue samples, blood, serum or plasma. It defines the dollar volume of sales, both worldwide and in the U.S., and analyzes the factors that influence the size and the growth of the market segments. Also examined are the subsections of each market segment, including the research labs, hospital labs and commercial laboratories. Additionally, the numbers of institutions using this type of cell therapy and the factors that influence purchases are discussed. The study [...]

I am alive. Still feel pretty rough but back home.
I was admitted to hospital on Friday with chest pain, hacking cough, shortness of breath and severe tachycardia. Being a cancer patient with a low immune system due to chemo they took it all quite seriously and admitted me. I had a chest x-ray which came back clear (thank goodness) so it wasn’t pneumonia, an ECG, numerous arterial blood gases (very painful, not at the time but the bruise left from having a needle in the radial artery is spectacular), IV fluids to rehydrate me and try and bring my pulse down, on constant oxygen as my saturated oxygen levels were only 90% on arrival and constant observations.
They discharged me on Sunday with the diagnosis of a viral chest infection which has led to pleurisy and pericarditis. I’m on antibiotics to ensure nothing bacterial is growing in me and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories [...]

More on the August paralysis. El País, today, full-page ad. An oncological hospital in Madrid advertises its services using the tagline:
We work at normal pace in summer
This is not a small note at the bottom of the page. Rather, this sentence is in large type, at the top of the page, acting as what we could call a marketing differentiator, i.e. a fact or property that makes this product (the hospital) unique from its competitors and hopefully attractive to the potential clients.
Isn’t this sad? This is not a video shop, for Pete’s sake. It’s an oncological hospital! And they use a full-page on the Sunday El País (imagine the cost!) to make the proud statement that they work at normal pace in summer.
This country just sucks.

One of my best friends’ baby boy stopped breathing today. They managed to revive him, but are now at the hospital. He’s only three months old. I feel so sorry for him and his mother. He’s had about all the illnesses newborns get. And today I don’t think Catherine’s boyfriend was at home either. I’m on my way to the hospital soon, as soon as Sarah calls. We’ll take dinner over there, since neither of them has eaten all day, only been worring about the baby. I hope he’ll okay. Poor Catherine’s got to be a wreck by now.

Isaac Hayes, the pioneering singer, songwriter and musician whose relentless “Theme From Shaft” won Academy and Grammy awards, died Sunday, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said. He was 65.
A family member found Hayes unresponsive near a treadmill and he was pronounced dead about an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, according to the sheriff’s office. The cause of death was not immediately known.
In the early 1970s, Hayes laid the groundwork for disco, for what became known as urban-contemporary music and for romantic crooners like Barry White. And he was rapping before there was rap.
His career hit another high in 1997 when he became the voice of Chef, the sensible school cook and devoted ladies man on the animated TV show “South Park.”
The album “Hot Buttered Soul” made Hayes a star in 1969. His shaven head, gold chains and sunglasses gave him a compelling visual image.
“Hot Buttered Soul” was [...]

Oh no! Another emergency room!
Oh yes!
I left the hospital with the instruction to have an INR test performed, and the nice doctor gave me a slip ordering that test. He was very adamant that I have that test done in 3 days. He also advised me to not overdo it on eating “greens” and gave me a little booklet on vitamin K. So far, so good!
But!
I walk into the local lab after 3 days, and they almost freaked out on me. Since I just had had the Pulmonary embolism, they shooed me right out the door and had me go to the emergency room.
Emergency room! Why? I have had many blood tests done before, or course, and I knew all about other tests, such as testing in the Martial Arts, but these INR tests???
They told me that they didn’t want to take the risk and so I went across the [...]

The woman was in state “care” in Oregon’s state hospital facility in Portland and a custodian who worked there was able to have sex with her 4 times in a year and only stopped and arrested because a co-worker walked in on him but the Senator says setbacks are to be “expected” and will be fixed by new buildings? We have investigators saying they do not believe force was used but a staff person does not need to use force to coerce any psychiatric hospital patient into sex she or does not want and that is rape whether it is legally charged as such or not. Patients in psychiatric hospitals are told from the day they arrive to obey all staff all the time and are punished (treated/intervened, right) if they do not. They are most often heavily drugged and unable to exercise informed consent. You don’t have to hold [...]

I visited my dad in the hospital yesterday. He looked much better than expected. His lips were swolen from the sores, but they were healing.
The hardest part about this is that my dad is so depressed. It’s not a lot of fun seeing your father cry. I really can’t believe how I managed to hold it together that day… but I guess I’ll pay for it after the fact with some random crying here and there.

In the 1980’s I had a niece delivered at Randolph Hospital. The attending Doctor Gold…stink! walked out of the delivery room, Nurse Jean was preparing the equipment and came to look at my sister-in-law.
Nurse Jean looked at me where is the doctor. I said, “he just walked out.”
Nurse Jean said go get him. I went into the hallway and called silently, Doctor Gold…stink. and then returned to side of delivering table.
Immediately my great niece was born and delivered by a wonderful great nurse JEAN!
My niece nearly popped out onto the hard concrete floor at Randolph Hospital with the doctor, Gold…stink just walking out of the room seconds before she was born….
I have fought the city on many issues. Won some! with a lot of Hell raising though.
