Medical Quack Employs “Watch Dog” Service for My Auxiliary Hard Drives (Humor)

Ok now that I have your attention, here’s the Watch Dog:)  Actually over the 4th of July my little assistant is very sensitive to the noise and found a new place to hang out to escape.  His place of choice was right on top of my hard drives and he had to crawl up a few shelves to get there.  Anyway this was a little too cute to pass up.  BD

As far as avoiding hardware theft, I don’t think I can get any better than this:)  BD 


Online Encyclopedia Writes Itself–Machine Learning From News Sources

To contact us Click HERE

No you can’t go there yet as this is being built for intelligence agencies by Raytheon.  the government gets it first.  It picks up everything from a news item and finds the relationships between the data and information.  It still doesn’t get everything right but getting closer.  This sounds a bit like what we are doing in healthcare with non structured data, doesn’t it?   BD




They look a bit like communally written Wikipedia pagesimage. But these articles—concise profiles of people and organizations, complete with lists of connected organizations, people, and events—were in fact written by computers, in a new bid by the Pentagon to build machines that can follow global news events and provide intelligence analysts with useful summaries in close to real time.

The prototype system is part of a nonpublic site built for intelligence agencies by Raytheon BBN in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and scheduled for delivery to the government later this year. It gathers information from 40 news websites written in English, Chinese, and Arabic, and eventually it will cover hundreds of news sites in all major languages. Ultimately the system will be linked with an existing TV broadcast monitoring network.

Automatically summarizing text is notoriously tricky given the difficulty of detecting humor, sarcasm, obviously incorrect information, idioms, and variant spellings and syntax, not to mention the problems involved in interpreting and translating information sources in different languages.

Saringer Life Sciences Seeking $10 Billion Dollar Investment For Their Current Business Plan Which Includes 2 Advanced Medical Devices To Treat Pain and Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevention

To contact us Click HERE

My first comment here is that’s a lot of money.  The company is located in Canada and works with doctors and surgeons to develop devices in the area of DVT prevention and vascular solutions  as well as wound healing and pain management.  Check these 2 products out as I have not seen anything like them out there.  The Venowave seems to work by improving circulation and attaches to the back of your leg and the IceOtherm gives feelings of sensation to relieve pain.  Again, this is still a lot of money.  BD 

From the website:

“The Venowave VW5 is a medical device that has been imagestatistically proven to prevent a DVT from occurring, in at risk patients. Traditionally, compression stockings and anti-coagulants (blood thinners) have been the gold standard in DVT prevention until today. The Venowave VW5 can be used alone or in conjunction with blood thinners and/or compression stockings.

The Venowave VW5 is applied to the back of the calf and mimics the body's venous system preventing blood from remaining still and clotting. The Venowave VW5 is unique because it is lightweight (250g, less then ½ pound), discreet and allows patients to remain completely mobile. There are no wires, tubes or sleeves. The Venowave VW5 can be used in hospital or during homecare after discharge from the hospital”.

“The IceOtherm is a class II medical deviceimage designed to engage the body’s natural healing abilities using both hot and cold stimuli. The interlaced hot and cold stimuli, induces a paradoxical burning sensation known as the Thermal Grill Illusion. The Thermal Grill Illusion has been known to scientists for over a century, and was developed and first studied extensively by Thunberg in 1896. In scientific research applications, the thermal grill is used to create harmless sensations of pain.”




Saringer Life Science Technologies Inc. (SLST Inc.) is seeking a major investment in order to expand their medical technology company. Business experts claim that this is one of the biggest and most lucrative propositions in Saringer’s history and that the company shows an enormous potential for return.

The Venowave VW5 and the ICE-O-therm. After years of clinical studies and product testing, both products use the latest state of the art technology (IP protected) and are ready to be commercialized. The products have a broad range of approved indications including pain treatment, preventing blood clotting or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), and a broad range of vascular conditions including the most severe; Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS). Most recently scientists are studying the Venowave and its ability to heal chronic diabetic foot sores after an impressive case study was conducted with a 100% success rate. Many of these conditions are largely unmet clinical needs and alternative treatments are scarce.

“We’re definitely on the verge of reaching one of our biggest milestones yet,” exclaims Saringer. Although the majority of investor dollars will go towards expansion and revenue generating initiatives, some will also go towards Saringer’s most recent focus: how the Venowave VW5- a sequential compression pump that attaches to the back of the calf in order to increase circulation - can heal diabetic foot ulcers. “It’s time to take things to the next level and find a cure for chronic diabetic foot ulcers.”

Patients File Lawsuit Against Human Biostar–Stem Cell Procedures With False Claims to Cure Diseases–Patients Received No Benefits And A Charge of Elder Abuse Included

To contact us Click HERE

This does make the Celltex case in Texas come back to light again as a few weeks ago it was all over the news.  These were all non substantiated stem cell treatments to where fat cells were taken,image shipped to Korea and then returned.  Perhaps the FDA has another upcoming inspection?  As this article points out though lawyers know a good lawsuit when they see one.  Any MD who is participating in non substantiated stem cell procedures today is walking on thin ice.  We do hear so many claims about stem cells and sometimes folks can’t tell the difference especially when any of their other treatments have not worked prior. 

The treatments all took place in China or Tijuana and at the Mexico location, 5 of the patients developed infections after their injections, not good.  RNL Bio is the parent company of Human Biostar.  Back to the Texas case, who was Celltex doing business with, RNL Bio.  BD


 

In what could be a landmark case, six patients in California are suing one of the world’s largest stem-cell companies for allegedly misleading them about the effectiveness of its stem-cell treatments.

The six patients all live in Los Angeles or Orange County and share the last name Lee. Some of them are related, according to their lawyer, the unrelated Sang I Lee. They are suing Human Biostar based in Sugar Land, Texas; Jin Han Hong, the company’s chief operating officer; and Jeong Chan Ra, a Korean citizen and chairman of the board of Seoul-based RNL Bio, the parent company of Human Biostar.

The six patients claim they were sold the procedures by Hong when he was president RNL Life Science, another subsidiary of RNL Bio, based in Los Angeles. The procedure consists of taking fat from a patient, removing stem cells from the sample, processing and expanding them in RNL’s Seoul laboratory, and then sending them to one of RNL’s clinics to inject them into patients to treat a variety of diseases.

The case could bring closer scrutiny to stem-cell treatments throughout the United States. Until now, clinics advertising or selling unproven and unapproved stem cell treatments to patients had to worry only about the FDA, which monitors the clinical use of stem cells to ensure safety and efficacy — but moves slowly and bureaucratically.


FDA Approves Genetic Test To Help Patients and Doctors Determine If Erbitux Would Be an Effective Treatment For Colorectal Cancer

To contact us Click HERE

Erbitux has been approved since 2004 to treat colorectal cancer for late stage cancer after chemotherapy treatments had ended.  The drug imagesends a signal to stop the growth of tumors in short.  When a KRAS gene mutation is found, the tumors continue to grow so with finding this mutation it gives additional information on whether or not the patient should be on the medication or whether the treatment would not do any good.

The FDA also approved the use of the drug in combination with Folfiri chemotherapy drugs as a first line treatment for patients with metastic tumors with CRC .  BD




The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved the first genetic test that can help some colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and their doctors determine if the drug Erbitux (cetuximab) would be an effective treatment based on the absence of a gene mutation.

The therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit can provide information about the KRAS gene mutation in patients whose CRC has spread to other parts of their body (metastasized).

Studies have found that Eribitux is not effective in those who have the mutation. 

CRC is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, there were more than 141,000 new CRC cases in 2011, and nearly 50,000 deaths resulted from CRC.

Among patients with tumors that did not have one of the seven KRAS mutations, median survival was 23.5 months for those who received Erbitux plus FOLFIRI compared with 19.5 months for those who received FOLFIRI. Among patients whose tumors had a KRAS mutation, median survival was similar between those who received Erbitux compared with those who did not.

Government Grants For Farmland Improvement-Free Property Grants

To contact us Click HERE
Government Grants For Farmland Improvement-Free Property GrantsThe government issues certain grants for land categories like historic areas, open spaces, natural areas and farmlands. These grants are meant for their preservation or reform. Agriculture is very deep-rooted in America, but the recent suburban upheaval has cost these lands dearly.Lands are evaluated according to the quality of the soil and the status of the irrigation. Government funds are distributed to farmers to reform and preserve farmland as well as improve the infrastructure. They allow farmers to farm as they deem fit. The funds are also meant for improvements like irrigation, fencing and manure storage facilities.Farmers can also develop land reform plans and implement them with the funds received. Some of the funds also have aid programs attached to them, which provide farmers with the kind of facilities and help that are needed to protect their land.Most states also use the agricultural conservation easement as a common farmland protection method. This permits landowners to put a voluntary restriction on their land, which stops development or limits it to enable the land to preserve its natural resources. There are no minimum or maximum grant award levels for individual grants. Any amount can be available for farmland improvements, policy and planning combined.Some of these programs include partnership developments with parties that are interested and can bring in enough resources for the implementation of the projects. The grants give more preference to such ventures. Applications for the distribution of funds are based on the amount of matching funds and similar services. It is also important to maintain all records pertaining to the grant until the state makes the final payment. This is required so that all information will be handy when the time comes to determine the total cost. A typical example of a farmland improvement grant is the California Farmland Conservancy program.

Quick Guide To Home Improvement Grants-Home Repair Grants 2012

Quick Guide To Home Improvement Grants-Home Repair Grants 2012With real estate being so hard to sell nowadays many people are content just staying in their original house. For this reason home owners are more open to embarking on home improvement projects to make their house more livable. Yet, they usually encounter a major snag in their endeavors, namely, finding a way to come up with the funds. With home improvement projects ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, many home owners feel that they just cannot afford to fix up their house. Fortunately, with the help of home improvement grants, they no longer need to feel that way.What is a Remodeling Grant?This type of financing is a sum of money given by the government for the purposes of fixing up one's home. They are better than a loan because they do not need to be paid back. Yet, many people think that because a grant is associated with the government, they must go through a drawn-out bureaucratic process in order to get approved. While this may be the case for other types of federal grants, it isn't so for home improvement grants.Why is this? It's because usually home improvement grants are given if:1) a house is deemed to be inhospitable without renovation,2) a person needs to renovate because of a disability or3) a person is aged 62 or older.A professional inspector is sent out to the house in any of these scenarios to determine if repairs or renovation is needed.So, the downside to home improvement grants is obvious. A person can't get one if they want to add luxuries such as a pool to their home. However, there are still many homes in America that require repair work that would cost more than the owners can afford and these grants come in to their own in such circumstances. Common problems that are covered by a home improvement grant include plumbing issues, mold, roofing and insect extermination.

Government Grants To Improve Your Property-Free Grant Money For PropertyBeing on the property ladder whether renting or owning your own home can be a very expensive ordeal.Things that are never taken into account at the time of the purchase or lease agreement are repairs and general up keep, service costs such as gas, electricity and water, and of course the big one being mortgage or rental payments and insurance add this lot up on a monthly basis and I'm sure you will get a surprise.Depending on the age of your property will obviously determine the quality and condition of certain items for example insulation, windows, and heating systems these are generally the first things that need upgraded.If all these items were to be priced out the bill would run to thousands of dollars, who in the current economical climate could afford to pay for all this? In reality probably not very many families at all!So what options are available to us?Refinance any mortgage to raise capital2nd MortgageHome loanCredit CardAll of the above are perfectly normal and feasible however just imagine what the monthly repayments could be with today's fluctuating interest rates and lending criteria! A very good and seldom used option are Government Grants, the majority of households are unaware they exist or how to even apply. Government grants are available to home owners and residents like you to get some of these things done. With many governments campaigning for "greener environments" it's only fair to say that they will help and assist where ever possible to achieve this.By installing insulation or new windows, you could save on carbon emissions and not to mention thousands on your utility bills every year. So how do you find out about the availability of grants and the application process?These things do vary depending on where you reside so the best advice would be attend at your local government or council office and check out the notice boards and advertising materials, once you have found some information I would encourage you to read the small print very carefully and ensure you are eligible and are applying for the home property grant, funding will be available somewhere its just a case of finding the right grant.There are more applications turned down annually for mistakes and poorly completed forms than their being a lack of funds, always remember the government want to give you this money just be accurate.There is no financial assistance better than government grants, quite simply because more often than not they don't have to be paid back and anyone is eligible.
