THE WORST RESEARCH EVER FOUND IN HUMAN HISTORY: LIFE DESTROYER

A new model for intra-hospital routing of patients is introduced, considering both client- and management related issues, and it is shown that the different developed model variants are tractable for realistic problem instances of medium-sized hospitals. The aim of this work is to introduce a new model for intra-hospital routing of patients, considering both client- and management related issues. Patients in a hospital have a fixed appointment, such as x-rays or ultrasonic and due to medical reasons they cannot go on their own, so they will be escorted by porters. In our model logistical costs for the usage of porters and patient inconvenience will be minimized. We show that the different developed model variants are tractable for realistic problem instances of medium-sized hospitals.

Helicobacter cinaedi is an emerging pathogen causing bacteraemia and cellulitis. Nosocomial transmission of this microbe has been described, but detailed molecular-epidemiological analyses have not been performed. Here, we describe the results of a multi-step genome-wide phylogenetic analysis of a suspected intra-hospital outbreak of H. cinaedi that occurred in a hospital in Japan. The outbreak was recognized by the infectious control team (ICT) of the hospital as a sudden increase in H. cinaedi bacteraemia. ICT defined this outbreak case based on 16S rRNA sequence data and epidemiological information, but were unable to determine the source and route of the infections. We therefore re-investigated this case using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We first performed a species-wide analysis using publicly available genome sequences to understand the level of genomic diversity of this under-studied species. The clusters identified were then separately analysed using the genome sequence of a representative strain in each cluster as a reference. These analyses provided a high-level phylogenetic resolution of each cluster, identified a confident set of outbreak isolates, and discriminated them from other closely related but distinct clones, which were locally circulating and invaded the hospital during the same period. By considering the epidemiological data, possible strain transmission chains were inferred, which highlighted the role of asymptomatic carriers or environmental contamination. The emergence of a subclone with increased resistance to fluoroquinolones in the outbreak was also recognized. Our results demonstrate the impact of the use of a closely related genome as a reference to maximize the power of WGS.

By Harry Adelson, ND ABSTRACT A recent development in regenerative medicine is the use of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of degenerative musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis. While the use of autologous stem cells is of immediate interest to all practitioners of regenerative medicine, the complexity and expense of the traditional technique more »

Prolotherapy is an injection procedure used to treat connective tissue injuries of the musculoskeletal system that have not healed by either rest or other nonsurgical therapies in order to relieve back pain.

Prolotherapy is an injection-based complementary therapy for common chronic musculoskeletal conditions including tendinopathy, knee osteoarthritis, and low back pain. It involves the injection of irritant solutions into tender ligamentous and tendinous attachments and adjacent joint spaces.

Prolotherapy targets ligament laxity as the cause of chronic joint and spine pain. We at ROSM use prolotherapy to treat an injury by treating a whole region or joint. Visit our locations!

What Is Prolotherapy? Prolotherapy is the injection of a mild irritant, often dextrose (a simple sugar), into a specific area of the body that is arthritic, worn down, or injured. The newer, far more effective techniques of Stem Cell Therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy are actually more advanced versions of Prolotherapy, which is short … Prolotherapy Read More »
