Sepsis Microfilter Being Developed...

Friday, May 23, 2008

Base on the recent research from Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, Boston University, and the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory have been working on a prototype device that can act as a physical filter to remove pathogens responsible for sepsis, reports MIT Technology...

The device itself contains a pair of microscopic channels--one for blood, the other for a saline-based solution. The two channels meet in a central compartment. The idea is to give the saline solution properties that will selectively draw pathogens out of blood as the two fluids mix.

However, because of their very small scale, microfluidic devices have no moving parts that can mechanically mix fluids together. Even as they come in contact, fluids will remain discrete, retaining their respective molecules. Then Ingber [Donald Ingber, principal project investigator at Children's Hospital Boston --ed.] hit upon the idea to use a small magnetic field. He first identified specific molecules that naturally bind to certain pathogens related to sepsis. Ingber and his colleagues then coated these molecules with tiny magnetic beads in solution. They then pumped the solution through one channel as infected blood was pumped through the other. As the two channels funneled into one compartment, the team turned on a small magnet on the side of the magnetic bead solution. As the fluids came in contact, the pathogens from the blood bound with the magnetically coated molecules, which in turn were pulled toward the magnet, away from the blood flow.

Family Security!

Security in our family is our primary concern. This has been our priority every now and then. In fact, we tend to forget all things just to protect our family, right? Considering these aspects, technology also tend to develop things that will keep our family out of harm. For such, through internet you can get excellent information regarding home security, homeowners insurance, fire safety, etc. So, basically this technology also helps us widen our knowledge regarding these things. Proper ways of organizing stuff like this will be a great help, just be open-minded and use information's in a proper way. Now, I must say that in other way around technology builds people, don't you think? Well, I hope not!

1hour closed for PayPal

PayPal, one of the most popular websites on the Internet and surely the most used service for online payments and money transfers, has announced that the service would
be unavailable on May 29 for approximately one hour due to scheduled maintenance. Jim McGuire, vice president of network operations at PayPal, said the website would become inaccessible on Thursday, May 29, at 11pm PDT (Friday, May 30, at 6:00 am GMT) for one hour during which most of the PayPal payment functions will be unavailable. However, Payflow Gateway customers will not be affected by the maintenance, McGuire explains.

PayPal continually makes improvements to their systems and platforms so that they can continue to provide us with the best online payment processing solution. They are assuring that they will be monitoring the scheduled maintenance very closely to ensure that they return to normal functionality as soon as possible.

writting projects...

During our college days we are bug by lots of different essay writing that consume most of our time thus leaving other subjects hanging. I used to remember those sleepless nights making my writing project and studying for the exam at the same time. All those times I always pray if I could just buy essay from anybody, I would pay. Lucky for most students today since there are lots of services writing companies. If I only knew this one during those times I would definitely grab their services. Not only that, they also give out free bibliography help; that's more than I can ask for. If I were a student now, I will have no difficulty in my studies. Good thing I'm done schooling!
