The history of the tourniquet dates at least as far back as 500 BC when the Romans designed a device to control bleeding during amputations.  It was made mostly of bronze and was lined with a bit of leather for “comfort”

Primarily because of the practical need to control bleeding during surgical procedures, other tourniquet designs proliferated during the 18^th, 19^th, and 20^th centuries.  These were quite simplistic and culminated in the development of a pneumatic tourniquet that is currently used thousands of times/day across the world to permit the creation of a bloodless field during procedures on both the upper and lower extremities.   Continue reading “Tourniquets 101”

Here it comes: A winter storm that might turn into a genuine blizzard began slamming the Northeast this evening, with 2,000 flights canceled as of 6pm Eastern, reports CNN. Chicago’s O’Hare has the most cancellations (650), but airports in Cleveland, New Jersey, and New York were catching up. New York City is still on track to get about 9 inches of snow tonight, but it’s the wind and low temperatures that might sting the most. The AP notes that the wind chill there tomorrow could be 15-below zero. In Boston, it might be worse on all fronts.   Continue reading “2K Flights Canceled So Far”

USA Today

PITTSBURGH (AP) — In at least four states that have nurtured the nation’s energy boom, hundreds of complaints have been made about well-water contamination from oil or gas drilling, and pollution was confirmed in a number of them, according to a review that casts doubt on industry suggestions that such problems rarely happen.

The Associated Press requested data on drilling-related complaints in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Texas and found major differences in how the states report such problems. Texas provided the most detail, while the other states provided only general outlines. And while the confirmed problems represent only a tiny portion of the thousands of oil and gas wells drilled each year in the U.S., the lack of detail in some state reports could help fuel public confusion and mistrust.   Continue reading “4 states confirm water pollution from fracking”
