What Is a Ganglion? What Is a Ganglion Cyst?
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled swellings that tend to form on top of joints or tendons in the wrists, hands, and feet. They have the appearance of firm or spongy sacs of liquid and their insides consist of a sticky, clear, thick, jelly-like fluid. Ganglion cysts are idiopathic, which means they generally form for unknown reasons. As painless and benign (not dangerous) growths, ganglion cysts often do not require treatment and go away on their own.

Developing Gene Therapy To Fight Blindness
An international team of scientists and clinicians from the United States and Saudi Arabia are working to develop gene therapy for treating a rare, hereditary retinal disease. The therapy has been shown to restore lost vision in animal models of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Their work is being funded in part by a $1.5 million grant from the Prince Salman Center for Disability Research in Saudi Arabia, where the recessive gene mutation that leads to the eye disease RP has been found in children from several families.

New York Times Editorial Lauds Appointment Of White House Adviser On Violence Against Women
"Domestic violence is a serious law enforcement and public health problem affecting as many as one in four women in this country," but "Washington has devoted too little attention to reducing domestic violence and sexual assaults generally," a New York Times editorial states. The editorial continues, "We welcome President Obama"s decision to create a new post, White House adviser on violence against women, and his appointment" of former National Network To End Domestic Violence Executive Director Lynn Rosenthal, "a seasoned advocate for victims to fill it." According to the editorial, Rosenthal will report to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, "whose keen interest in the issue dates from his days in the Senate and his key role in enacting the 1994 Violence Against Women Act." The "challenge" facing Rosenthal and the Obama administration "will be to improve the carrying out of existing laws intended to protect women, starting with better coordination of the activities of all the government bureaucracies involved," including the Department of Justice, HHS and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the editorial states. It notes that a national survey of domestic violence shelters released in May found "a significant increase in the number of women seeking assistance since last fall, a rise largely attributable to the stresses of the economic crisis and rising unemployment." The editorial recommends that states create more emergency shelters, establish more transitional housing for "people fleeing violent situations" and "do more to help these victims rebuild their lives." Rosenthal "will need to tackle bureaucratic and legal hurdles and find more money to help states, localities and charitable groups address those needs," the editorial states. In addition, Rosenthal must "help end the scandal of the thousands of rape kits sitting untested in crime labs and police storage facilities across the country, allowing countless criminals to escape punishment." The editorial concludes, "All of this will require strong and creative leadership" from Rosenthal, Biden and Obama (New York Times, 7/1).

Siemens Enterprise Communications To Provide Multi-million Pound Secure LAN For Barts And The London NHS Trust Hospitals

Siemens Enterprise Communications has won a four year multi-million pound framework contract to provide Barts and The London NHS Trust with an integrated Enterasys fixed and wireless LAN and security infrastructure. The first phase in a three stage communications programme, the new infrastructure - due for completion in 2010 - will provide a single network able to handle all optical images, video streaming and traffic from multiple wireless devices and PCs for 300 beds at Barts hospital. Siemens" work is part of the wider £1 billion building of the new hospitals at Barts (St Bartholomew"s) Smithfield and The Royal London"s Whitechapel sites by Skanska Innisfree, due for final completion in 2016. The two new hospitals will provide state-of-the-art care facilities covering 1,200 beds, boosting the Trust"s capabilities across its three hospitals.Âð The Trust already has a world-wide reputation for excellence, Barts in cancer and cardiac care and The Royal London in acute services. The first phase Enterasys fixed and wireless LAN hardware and software infrastructure, will support 24/7 clinical and corporate IT services. The platform will enable delivery and uploading of critical information at the point of care, whether using diagnostic equipment used wirelessly at the patient"s bedside or through devices plugged into the trust"s main IT network. These capabilities will give clinical and support staff far greater operational flexibility than existing cable-based IT systems. The integrated LAN will also enable information to be captured and added to patients" records digitally, without the use of paper notes or separate manual data entry. In addition, the new communications network will enable improved inter-departmental information sharing, reduced operational costs, and streamlined patient administration. The new Siemens LAN also paves the way for future improvements such as tagging of supplies and equipment for asset management. As a prime contractor to the trust, Siemens Enterprise Communications and its Enterasys Networks division will work with Netconnection Systems to design and implement the new IT architecture as well as advising on future system innovations that will support and enhance patient care over the next few years. After a full tendering process, Barts and The London"s NHS Trust"s IT directorate selected Siemens because of the tender"s competitive costing, the company"s strong track record in public sector communications infrastructure delivery and the operational strengths of its Enterasys network infrastructure product range. Doug Howe, Deputy Director, ICT, Barts and The London NHS Trust, said "Siemens will provide a secure and flexible LAN communications infrastructure with the required secure 24/7 information access and "five nines" system reliability. The company has a good R&D track record and experience and is therefore a strong partner to help us develop a road map for technology adoption as the new hospital building work progresses which will support our standards of clinical excellence." He said: "It"s an exciting time because we are building on the Trust hospitals" world-wide reputation for clinical excellence with secure IT and communications which will provide us with wide scope for future innovations." Andy Clark, head of public sector, Siemens Enterprise Communications, said: "We"re delighted to be delivering an integrated voice and data network for an acknowledged world leader in medicine whose two new hospitals will be purpose-built to maintain 21st century standards of clinical excellence. It"s a signature project for us, but particularly exciting because it prepares the platform for the trust to build in and gain the long term benefits from unified communications. These will include potential innovations in real time diagnosis, mobile working and streamlined operations." Âð Barts and The London NHS Trust operates three hospitals, The London Chest hospital in Bethnal Green as well as ST Bartholomew"s (Barts) in Smithfield and The Royal London in Whitechapel.
