Cleveland Clinic hopes to use more living donors
After not performing liver transplants from living donors for a year, the Cleveland Clinic has ramped up its program to address a long transplant waiting list. The Clinic’s goal for 2012 is to conduct 12 surgeries with living liver donors, at a pace of one a month. That would be almost as many as the 14 liver transplants using living donors the Clinic did between 2008 and 2010. None of the liver transplants for 122 patients at the Clinic in 2011 involved living...

An EMS crew was asked to transport a morbidly obese patient back to his residence. When they arrived at his bedside in the hospital they found a 50-year-old male weighing 672 pounds lying in the bed—200 pounds heavier than what had been dispatched. Transport was delayed while the crew coordinated to have a bariatric cot brought to the hospital. During this time the crew discussed the patient with the discharge planner, who explained that she attempted to arrange for the patient to be taken to rehab to regain his strength and become compliant...

A surprising number of foods in your fridge can counteract dental dinginess and actually whiten your teeth. One sign of aging is the change in the color of our teeth. The subtle fade from white to not-quite-white clearly bothers millions of us: we spend more than $1 billion per year on tooth whitening strips, and millions more to have dentists do the job for us. After a survey conducted late last year, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) projected no lessening of the...

A new push is under way to improve the care people get after they call 911, when minutes can make the difference between life and death. There is plenty of room for improvement: Survival rates among sudden-cardiac-arrest patients, for example, vary widely among different regions in the country. One problem: Medical advances that save lives in hospitals and on the battlefields are often slow to become available to civilian emergency responders. Click Here to Read...

From YAHOO NEWS (March 23, 2012) — We’ve all heard the story. Cleveland, Ohio, like many other Rust Belt cities, has struggled mightily in the aftermath of the demise of heavy manufacturing. For those not paying attention, Cleveland would seem to be a doomed city destined for a continual decline. But this is not the case. Right now, the city of Cleveland is undergoing a dramatic transformation, the likes of which America hasn’t seen since the rebirth of New York City in the early 1990s.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Sometimes, it seems we’ve heard it all before when it comes to healthy eating and what’s bad for our bodies: sugar, refined carbs, saturated fats and so on.

“CLEVELAND, Ohio — For Irianna Aponte, the white truck that pulled up outside her after-school program one day this fall was anything but normal. The 10-year-old girl with big brown eyes recalled recently how she walked inside and immediately felt that she wasn’t in a truck. “It felt like an actual dentist,” Irianna said. “They had actual chairs.” Most of the children at the Spanish American Community on Cleveland’s near West Side that day received simple teeth cleanings. … Read...
