Quotes

"The reason the media was reporting that the mortality rate of the disease was 30% is that at first they were only able to find the most serious cases. But now reports have also been made of people who recovered on their own after being infected and people who only had mild symptoms, which has brought the mortality rate down to 6%" Oh said
...6-10 Michael O'Reilly, M D , Chief Medical Officer of Masimo, stated: "As previous studies have shown with adult patients, this study demonstrates that PVI monitoring can noninvasively and continuously assess fluid status in children and be more effective than common invasive technologies and is similar to newer, costlier techniques. Masimo pulse oximetry technology offers automated assessment of fluid responsiveness with PVI, providing clinicians a cost-effective alternative to help improve patient outcomes." , Brussels, Belgium.

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Seoul National University Hospital, "We performed this study to compare the effect of methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) PDT for acne between red light and intense pulsed light (IPL). Twenty patients were enrolled in this eight-week, prospective, split-face study. We applied MAL cream over the whole face with a three-hour incubation time. Then patients were irradiated with 22 J/cm(2) of red light on one-half of the face and 8-10 J/cm(2) of IPL on the other half during each treatment session. We performed three treatment sessions at two-week intervals and followed-up patients until four weeks after the last session. Inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions were reduced significantly on both sides. The red light side showed a better response than the IPL side after the first treatment. Serious adverse effects after treatment were not observed. MAL-PDT with red light and IPL are both an effective and safe modality in acne treatment. Red light showed a faster response time than IPL. After multiple sessions, both light sources demonstrated satisfactory results."
