The Skin Gun (S783)
By National Geographic Videos Photo from PCWorld.com |
A sci-fi-like skin gun sprays
stem cells onto burned skin
is the latest treatment in helping
burn victims. Dr. Jorg
Gerlach of the McGowan Institute
for Regenerative Medicine
at the University of Pittsburgh
developed the gun, which
sprays a solution of cells and
water onto the damaged skin.
For Matthew Uram, a Pennsylvania
state police officer, the
skin gun was life-changing.
The 44-year-old was one of the
first U.S. patients to be treated
by the procedure after
sustaining first- and second-degree
burns to the right side
of his face and body after someone
poured gasoline onto a
bonfire in July 2009 while Uram
was standing nearby.
When Uram went for treatment
at UPMC Mercy Hospital's burn
centre, doctors directed him
to Gerlach. Less than a week
after the accident, Uram was
treated with the gun.
The gun sprays stem cells that
have been collected from a
small, thin layer of skin that
has been grafted from
patient's own healthy skin,
Gerlach explained.
The process takes about 90 minutes.
Among the handful of
patients tested, the initial
healing of the wound occurred
within two weeks compared to
traditional treatments, which
take months and pose a risk
for patients dying of infection.

Subj: Nurses
Aren't Supposed To Laugh (S640b)
From: allenbergman on 4/18/2009
'Of course I won't laugh, said
the nurse. I'm a professional.
In over twenty years I've never
laughed at a patient.'
'Okay then,' said Fred, and he
proceeded to drop his trousers,
revealing the tiniest 'man thingy'
the nurse had ever seen.
Length and width, it couldn't
have been bigger than the a AAA
battery.
Unable to control herself, the
nurse started giggling, then
fell to the floor laughing.
Ten minutes later she was able
to struggle to her feet and
regain her composure. 'I am so
sorry,' she said. 'I don't know
what came over me. On my
honour as a nurse and a lady,
I promise it won't happen again.
Now, tell me, what seems to
be the problem?'
'It's swollen,' Fred replied. She ran out of the room.

Subj: Gettin'
It Checked - Poem (S596c)
From: LABLaughsClean on 6/20/2008
I decided to let the doc check
me out,
'cause I didn't feel really
quite right.
All these aches and pains annoyed
me
Especially when I can't sleep
at night.
He could find nothing out of
order,
But then he sure wouldn't let
it rest.
Said, "You have Medicare ? Blue
Cross,
So I'll just run a 'few' more
little tests."
So, to the hospital I was swiftly
sent,
Though I didn't really feel
that bad.
They tried every way I could
be bent
And did "every" test that could
be had.
I was flouroscoped ? cystoscoped,
My poor agin' bod's frame displayed.
Stripped naked, on a cold steel
table,
While every inch internal was
xrayed.
They checked for worms and parasites,
Even for fungus and some foreign
crud.
And pierced me with big long
needles
While taking whole gallons of
my blood.
Strange people came checking
me over,
They probed, pushed ? poked
all around.
And just to make sure I was
really living,
They completely wired my ass
for sound.
At great expense it was finally
concluded
All the results not even filling
one page.
That what I have may one day
kill me;
Some silly damn thing called
OLD AGE!

Subj: Woman
Goes To Emergency Room w/Mother (S728)
From: ezines@arcamax.com on 12/26/2010
I am five feet, three inches
tall and pleasingly plump.
Recently, after I had a minor
accident, my mother
accompanied me to the emergency
room.
The ER nurse asked for my height
and weight, and I
responded in a serious tone,
"Five-foot-eight, 125
pounds."
While the nurse pondered this
information, my mother
leaned over to me "Sweetheart,"
she gently chided,
"this is not the Internet."
