By Anthony Vecchione, October 31, 2018 at 12:59 PM The National Marrow Donor Program will honor U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-4th District, in November for two stem cell laws that he authored. Smith authored the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, Public Law 109-129, and the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2015, Public Law 114-104. Smith’s two laws created the first National Cord Blood Stem Cell Inventory; reauthorized and expanded the National Bone Marrow Registry; connected cord blood banks around the country into one search system for matching donors; directed federal agencies to study adult stem cells and birthing tissues to develop new therapies for patients; significantly increased the inventory of usable umbilical cord blood units available for stem cell transplantation; and authorized $530 million for umbilical cord blood and bone marrow stem cell research and treatment over ten years.  “I am grateful to receive this award—the Lives … [Read more...] about Smith recognized for stem cell legislation

It was the summer of 1897, and pieces of Willie Guldensuppe began bobbing up in the East River. His upper torso and arms were found by boys playing on the E. 11th St. docks. The lower torso was fished from the water in Harlem. The legs found their way to the backwaters of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Each section was neatly wrapped in distinctive oilcloth - a flower design of red and gold, like a homemaker might use for a tablecloth - and bound with window-shade cord. Coroners unwrapped the packages and pieced together the body, lacking only a head and a 4-inch square of skin cut from the chest. The human jigsaw puzzle was soon identified as Guldensuppe, a German - stout as an anvil - who worked as a masseur at the Murray Hill Turkish Baths on E. 42nd St. He had missed work for a few days, and colleagues identified their fellow "rubber" from an abscessed finger and a missing tattoo (of an ex-sweetheart's head) where his skin had been carved away. Guldensuppe was one of … [Read more...] about The Scattered Dutchman

Kaiser Health News, ContributorKaiser Health News (KHN) is a nonprofit news service covering health issues. Scrutinizing unexpected deaths is the norm for U.S. hospitals. 08/13/2018 11:02 am ET By Christina Jewett, Kaiser Health News and Mark Alesia, USA Today Network The first man died in April 2014. Another died later that month. Then on July 18 of that year, a woman was rushed to a hospital where she was told she was lucky to be alive. They all went to the same Little Rock, Ark., surgery center for a colonoscopy, among the safest procedures a patient can have. And each stopped breathing soon afterward, court records say, sustaining the same type of brain damage seen in a drowning victim. What happened at Kanis Endoscopy Center prompted no review by officials in Arkansas, which, like 16 other states, has no mandate to report patient deaths after surgery center care. So no facility oversight authority has examined whether the deaths were a statistical anomaly or cause for … [Read more...] about Lax Oversight Leaves Surgery Center Regulators And Patients In The Dark
