Veazie police officer lauded for saving UMaine students life

Posted: Published on April 16th, 2014

VEAZIE, Maine Had it not been for a Veazie police officer, a promising University of Maine chemistry student likely would not have lived to see finals, not to mention graduation day. Officer Matthew Parkhurst was on routine patrol about 1 a.m. April 4, when he noticed the taillights of a running vehicle parked in the Qualey Granite and Quartz parking lot on State Street, Sgt. Brian Nichols of the Veazie Police Department said. Realizing that he had seen the same vehicle while conducting business checks two hours before, Parkhurst stopped to check up on the driver, Nichols said. Parkhurst quickly determined that the driver was not under the influence of drugs and alcohol but rather was suffering from a life-threatening medical emergency, the sergeant noted. Parkhurst called for an ambulance, and the 19-year-old driver, UMaine student Bryer Sousa, was immediately taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center. He was treated for acute carbon monoxide poisoning, which Veazie police determined was the result of a mechanical malfunction that arose after Sousa dropped a friend off. Sousa could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Due to Officer Parkhursts vigilant actions that night, the life of a promising young chemistry student at the University … Continue reading →

Palmyra Animal Clinic adds new stem cell therapy to improve animals’ lives

Posted: Published on April 16th, 2014

PALMYRA -- Gunny, an 8-year-old German shepherd, who has been suffering from painful arthritis in his hips, got a new lease on life Wednesday after receiving an injection of stem cells from his own body. Gunny was the first of two dogs with degenerative joint disease who were treated with a new, faster and less expensive procedure at the Palmyra Animal Clinic, 920 E. Main St. The new process, which is available for dogs, cats and horses, uses stem cells taken from fatty tissue in the animals to combat osteoarthritis to improve their quality of life. The process has been around for a decade, but with new technology, the local clinic is able to do the process in-house, in less time and at less cost. The clinic has been offering stem cell therapy since 2008. While stem cell therapy has been commercially available for about a decade, Dr. Calvin Clements, owner of the clinic, said, "there was a several-day turnaround, multiple anesthesias, and it was considerable expense. With this technique, we have the ability to collect the cells, inject the cells and bank the cells." The cost of the procedure is about $1,300, compared to $3,000 when sent out of … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on April 16th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise NEW YORK (April 16, 2014) Montefiore Medical Center has been selected as one of 15 hospitals in the country to participate in the American College of Cardiology Patient Navigator Program. This first-of-its-kind program in Cardiology is designed to support hospitals in providing personalized services to heart disease patients and help them avoid a quick return to the hospital. We are honored to be selected for this important pilot program. Improving transitions of care for patients with heart disease and reducing readmissions are a constant focus at Montefiore and are a growing area of concern for healthcare as a whole, said Ileana Pia, M.D., M.P.H., associate chief, Academic Affairs, Division of Cardiology, Montefiore, professor of Medicine and Epidemiology & Population Health, Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. The Patient Navigator Program will allow us to support a team of experts focused on these patients and will allow for the appropriate care and education to be offered, thus improving outcomes. Nearly one in five patients hospitalized with heart attack and one in four patients hospitalized with heart failure are readmitted within 30 days of discharge, often for conditions seemingly unrelated to the … Continue reading →
