MCH administration goes hi-tech
Thiruvananthapuram: Patient management, medical records maintenance and day-to-day administration have become easier affairs at the Medical College Hospital here, as the hospital management system implemented by the Centre for the Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) has become fully operational. The system had been on the run for the past one-and-a-half years and was formally inaugurated last month. First in State The Thiruvananthapuram MCH is the first one in the State to be fully computerised, and now that the benefits of an automated hospital management system has begun to sink in among the staff, there have been demands that such systems be replicated in other Government hospitals too. This is also the first time that CDAC has attempted the computerisation of a Government hospital as mammoth as the MCH here.
Vitamin C awareness a common goal
From the common cold to all kinds of maladies, our day-to-day lives are frequently tormented by minor health setbacks now and then. However, a proper vitamin C intake can help prevent or treat some chronic diseases. Recently, a seminar on the International Development Trend of Vitamin C was held in the city for the first time. Organized by the Vitamin C and Health Research Center, more than 30 professors and scholars from the United States and China attended. Co-established by the Shanghai Association of Health Education and Bayer HealthCare's Consumer Care Division in March, the center's aim is to conduct further research in vitamin C in the country and to guide domestic consumers on how to take such supplements properly. "No other nutrient other than vitamin C has been shown to have such a significant impact on mortality or a highly-beneficial effect on health," said Dr Balz Frei, director and endowed chair of Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon State University, at the seminar.
Local student leads hurricane relief team
From his room at Indiana University, Matt Morrow of Auburn watched the destruction of Hurricane Katrina on television in late summer 2005. "I wanted to help out some way or another," he said. "I just wanted to do something to get involved and make a difference." A year and a half later, Morrow still is helping. This week, the Indiana Legislature will honor him and the other leaders of Y’ALL — Youth Advocating Leadership and Learning. Morrow and five friends started a movement that has led nearly 500 IU students to Mississippi and New Orleans for hurricane relief. On their first trip in December 2005, they took 200 students with them to Biloxi, Miss. "It was just incredible to see the destruction," Morrow said.
Potential new post-laser refractive surgery complication identified
A new syndrome characterized by noninflammatory corneal opacification can occur in some patients within 9 days after undergoing LASIK or PRK, according to a study. The opacification gradually clears over several months and can also cause a possible hyperopic shift in refraction, the study authors said. Baris Sonmez, MD, and Robert K. Maloney, MD, identified 23 eyes of 14 patients with the syndrome, which they termed central toxic keratopathy. Four eyes had undergone PRK and 19 eyes had undergone LASIK. In all cases, eyes developed central corneal opacification in the laser-treated area 3 to 9 days after surgery, which persisted for 2 to 18 months, the authors reported. Eighteen of the 19 LASIK-treated eyes developed diffuse lamellar keratitis before the onset of the opacification, they noted.
