| Medicom is the Proud Winner of a Prestigious Mercuriades Award - PRNewswire Posted: 30 Apr 2021 09:01 AM PDT Launched in 1981 by the Federation of the Chambers of Commerce of Quebec (FCCQ), the Mercuriades competition is now the most prestigious business competition in Quebec. Each year, it celebrates the innovation, ambition, entrepreneurship and performance of Quebec companies. "We are extremely proud to be recognized in our home province and we thank the jury for this award. As COVID-19 was gaining momentum in China in January 2020, we came to a crossroads where we had to decide whether to maintain the status quo or reinvent ourselves. We chose to reinvent ourselves by pivoting to high-quality N95 and procedure masks, building strong relationships with several governments around the world and building five new factories on three continents, including one in Montreal. This strategic decision was not only beneficial for Medicom, but also for local communities that can now count on a secure supply of high-quality personal protective equipment," said Guillaume Laverdure, Chief Operating Officer of Medicom. In the midst of the pandemic, Medicom hired more than 600 employees, growing its team of over 2,000. These are the dedicated men and women who make it their daily mission to help protect healthcare professionals and their patients. "All of our employees played a critical role in the transformation we began in the midst of the pandemic. We would like to thank them for their contributions, as this Mercuriades award would not have been possible without them. Medicom's growth will continue in the years ahead and we will be more prepared than ever to support our clients and governments," concluded John Tourlas, President North America, Medicom.

Published results showed limb reconstruction with internal lengthening nails and antibiotic-loaded resorbable calcium sulfate may address infectious and length pathologies while avoiding the disadvantages of prolonged external fixation. Austin T. Fragomen, MD, and colleagues identified 11 patients who underwent intramedullary or osteotomy site treatment with antibiotic-loaded resorbable calcium sulfate (Stimulan, Biocomposites Inc.) and placement of a magnetic internal lengthening nail (Precice system, NuVasive Inc.) for either lengthening (n=7) or compression at the nonunion site (n=4). Researchers diagnosed eight patients with nonunion, while three patients had post-traumatic or post-infectious bone loss resulting in a history of osteomyelitis and four patients had a risk of or concern for intramedullary infection due to prior external fixation or recalcitrant nonunion. Results showed nail placement proceeded without difficulty in nine cases, while two cases required re-reaming after hardening of the antibiotic-loaded resorbable calcium sulfate. Researchers found two of the seven patients who underwent lengthening achieved lengthening within 0.2 cm of the goal of 3.9 cm and five of seven patients achieved goal length. All patients who required nonunion compression achieved compression goals, according to results. Researchers noted the magnetic internal lengthening nail functioned without impediment by the antibiotic-loaded resorbable calcium sulfate in all cases, and no patients experienced intraoperative or perioperative pulmonary complications from the canal instrumentation.  Austin T. Fragomen "The take-home message of this study is that internal implants can be used to treat bone fractures in the presence of infection if coated with antibiotics, and the use of antibiotic paste can prevent infection in high-risk surgeries," Fragomen, a limb lengthening and reconstruction orthopedic surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery, told Healio Orthopedics. "The deeper message is one of the power of collaboration for posterity. A unified effort from three major orthopedic centers has produced a mini-consensus supporting this novel technique for infection control." Read more aboutWe were unable to process your request.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2021 12:19 AM PDT  * Graphic: World FX rates tmsnrt.rs/2RBWI5E * Asian stock markets: tmsnrt.rs/2zpUAr4 * Chinese PMIs weigh on regional equities * Singapore stocks eye best week in seven * Philippines eyes worst day in six weeks By Harish Sridharan April 30 (Reuters) - Most equity markets in emerging Asia fell on Friday, with Philippine stocks leading the losses, as weaker-than-expected Chinese factory indicators and concerns about Beijing's clampdown on internet companies weighed on sentiment. Data from the national Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in China showed the official manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) fell to 51.1 in April from 51.9 in March. The country's financial regulator ordered 13 internet platforms to strengthen compliance as part of the country's ongoing antitrust clampdown on the sector, worrying investors within and outside the country. "Asian markets are likely reacting to disappointment in China's NBS PMIs as well as restrictions imposed by regulators on China's big tech companies," said Mitul Kotecha, Chief EM Asia and Europe strategist at TD Securities Investors and analysts were also concerned due to the surge in COVID-19 cases across the region. Malaysia reported 3,332 new positive cases on Thursday, its highest in two months. "Recent covid resurgence in the region, including Singapore, Malaysia, serves as a reminder that we are not out of pandemic and sustained rise in infection could bring about fresh restrictions," said Christopher Wong, Senior FX Strategist at Malayan Banking Berhad. The Philippines benchmark slumped 1.8% and eyed its worst session in six weeks, tracking broader weakness in the region, while foreign selling and extended lockdowns drove stocks lower. "PHL markets dipped further weighed by consecutive days of net foreign selling as investors remain to be anxious about the protracted partial lockdowns currently implemented in the national capital region and surrounding provinces," said Nicholas Mapa, Senior Economist in the Philippines at ING. Curencies in Asia were largely subdued. The Philippine Peso firmed 0.3%, while the South Korean won weakened 0.4%. However, analysts were optimistic about Asian currencies in the near future. "In general, EM Asian currencies are likely to advance further in the run-up to the June 15-16 FOMC meeting as the Fed maintains its accommodative stance," said Gao Qi, FX Strategist (EM Asia) at Scotiabank. Although stocks in India were trading lower and were set to snap a four-day winning streak, they were on course to mark their best week in 13, boosted by quarterly earnings, even as coronavirus infections rage across the country. Markets in Taiwan were closed for a public holiday. Southeast Asia's largest bank DBS Group Holdings' trumped market estimates with a 72% rise in quarterly net profit, helping the city-state's benchmark index buck the broader regional decline and rise 0.1%, putting it on track for its best week in seven.

ldct :: Article Creator Taiwan's Lung Cancer Mortality Rate Drops By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter The mortality rate of lung cancer in Taiwan has declined for nine consecutive years, with early detection through screening the key to significantly improving survival rates, the Health Promotion Administration (HPA) said yesterday. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, WHO data showed. Nearly 2.5 million people were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022 and more than 1.8 million people died from the disease, International Agency for Research on Cancer data showed. Photo courtesy of Changhua Christian Hospital In Taiwan, the standardized mortality rate of lung cancer has declined for nine consecutive years, although the disease still killed 10,348 people last year and it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the nation, the HPA said. The case fatality rate is relatively high, but ...

Navel Orangeworm Plague Might be Growing Out of Control - Growing Produce
JavaScript is required for the gallery to function properly. Start Slideshow When it comes to navel orangeworm control in your pistachio, almond, and walnut orchards in the fall and winter, sanitation is the key. While that sounds simple — destroy any mummy nuts — the truth is there are a lot of factors that can make a simple solution complicated. Advertisement These complications have financial implications, as labor to help clean up the orchard can be costly and time-consuming. These complications can also come in the form of weather issues that make postharvest cleanup more of a challenge. “Although this is a proven practice, we still see some growers are not doing this practice, for whatever reason. Sometimes, it is difficult to do mummy sanitation due to the rainfall in the winter, or due to the heavy ground in some orchards. But it is important to plan in advance considering these factors. Sanitation can be done at any time between October and Feb. 1,” Jhalendr...
