e-healthcare may help reverse the trend of high CVD and obesity in China

Posted: Published on October 16th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 15-Oct-2014 Contact: ESC Press Office press@escardio.org 33-492-948-627 European Society of Cardiology @escardio Beijing, 16 October 2014: The use of electronic health care services (versus more traditional methods) to reduce the high incidence of heart disease in China will be debated by leading cardiologists from around the world in Beijing, from 16 to 19 October 2014. The 25th Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology & Asia Pacific Heart Congress & International Congress of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (GW-ICC & APHC & ICCPR 2014) will advocate a patient centered health care model that maximizes the use of limited medical resources so patients can improve their health and quality of life, no matter where they live. ESC Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention key messages from the ESC Congress 2014 and other recommendations to improve cardiovascular health by reducing obesity in China, will also be discussed at GW-ICC & APHC & ICCPR 2014. "Clearly there is an urgent need to do something to reverse the trend in China where one in five people have cardiovascular disease and smoking and obesity are major issues," said Professor Dayi Hu, chief of the Heart Institute at the People's Hospital, Peking University and President of … Continue reading →

A classroom runs through it: Vermillion teaches students, stewardship

Posted: Published on October 16th, 2014

Listen Story audio 4min 35sec Sunrise is still half an hour away as biology teacher Joe Beattie and his students bushwhack their way down to the banks of the Vermillion River in Dakota County. They wear chest-high waders and arm-length rubber gloves to ward off the numbing effects of the river's 50 degree water. More: Minnesota Sounds and Voices stories Beattie has brought his Hastings High School junior and senior biology students to the same spot each year since 1997. They've collected thousands of samples, taken them back to school for identification and turned the results over to county and watershed officials who monitor the Vermillion's health. The students wading into the river on this day are the next generation working to save the Vermillion. The hands-on research delivers lessons about pollution, society and the environment that can't be taught in a regular classroom. Play the audio above or view the photographs below to spend the morning on the river with Beattie and his students.

Creating medical devices with dissolving metal

Posted: Published on October 16th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 15-Oct-2014 Contact: Joe Miksch jmiksch@pitt.edu 412-624-4356 University of Pittsburgh PITTSBURGHUniversity of Pittsburgh researchers recently received another $1.5 million from the National Science Foundation to continue a combined multi-university, private-industry effort to develop implantable medical devices made from biodegradable metals. Body-degradable metalsusually magnesium basedare not new, having been originally considered in the late 19th century. But, says Pitt's William Wagner, deputy director of the project and a principal investigator, "the question comes when you start to design medical devices for a specific application and a clinical partner says, 'We want that to be gone in a month, or a month-and-a-half, or we want that to be there for a year.'" Then you have to figure out how to meet those specifications, he says. To that end, the Pitt team as well as collaborators at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (N.C. A&T) are creating new alloys and new manufacturing processes that suit clinical demands. The consortium seeks to design devices that can adapt to changes in a patient's body and dissolve once healing has occurred, reducing the follow-up procedures and potential complications of major orthopedic, craniofacial, and cardiovascular procedures and sparing … Continue reading →
