Cuneiform became the written language from as early as 5000 BC. As the civilization of Sumer started to decline, other civilizations continued to use the Sumerian written symbols. Thanks to the Sumerians, we know a great deal about the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations of Babylon and Assyria as well.

"Buddy System" of Peer Mentors May Help Control Diabetes
This Issue Brief summarizes work testing two novel interventions—one-on-one peer mentoring (a "buddy system") and financial incentives—designed to help patients with consistently poor diabetes control achieve better results. In this case, a telephone buddy makes a big difference.

Behavioral Economics and Health Annual Symposium
The application of behavioral economics to health and health care has captured the imagination of policymakers across the political spectrum. The idea is that many people are irrational in predictable ways, and that this both contributes to unhealthy behaviors like smoking and holds one of the keys to changing those behaviors. Because health care costs continue to increase, and a substantial portion of costs are incurred because of unhealthy behaviors, employers and insurers have great interest in using financial incentives to change behaviors.

This is an ongoing debate in the medical community, but it is generally agreed that there is no one cause for the development of addiction. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, contributing factors may include a genetic predisposition to develop addictive tendencies, an environment that is permissive of drug abuse, access to illicit substances, and certain developmental issues. The existence of a Dual Diagnosis is one of the biggest risk factors for the development of addiction. Heroin Withdrawal | First Week In
Professional assessments are always the best first step towards recovery, and they are especially important for anyone who feels they may have a problem with drinking. Since alcohol is legal, and drinking is culturally acceptable, many people who have an AUD (alcohol use disorder) might not realize the extent of their problem. A professional assessment is the only way to be sure.
Binge drinking has become the most widespread form of alcohol abuse in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Over 30 million adults in the U.S. (approximately 15 percent) admit to binge drinking within the past month. Most of these drinkers are white males between the ages of 18 and 34. Forty percent of college students report episodes of binge drinking.
Our drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs are based on science, evidence and our experience of what works best in helping people get sober and stay sober. Hazelden Betty Ford pioneered the field's leading approach to addiction treatment and we continue to evolve and advance the use of evidence-based treatments in order to provide our patients with the best opportunity for lifelong recovery from substance use disorder. Some of the evidence-based treatments our clinicians use include: What happens in rehab?
In such cases, some rehabs offer outpatient services: the addict can go through the detox phase with medical help as and when required, and can then visit the facility for therapy sessions by appointment. Indeed it is often also possible to have phone therapy sessions if the addict cannot make it physically to the facility (this is often the case with professionals who travel a great deal and may not be in the country for an extended period).
Each one of our drug and alcohol treatment centers offers a number of therapies and programs, including Partial Hospitalization Programs, Intensive Outpatient Programs, and Residential Treatment. Which program a patient chooses largely depends on their needs in rehab. Some thrive in an Outpatient setting, while others do best with the around-the-clock model that Residential Treatment provides. Effective treatment close to home gives people the flexibility they need to engage in a program that will meet their needs. R3hab & BURNS - Near Me (Official Music Video)
Thankfully, there are numerous organisations here in the UK and abroad offering first-class treatment to those affected by alcoholism. UKAT is one of the UK's leading treatment providers; we have already helped countless individuals overcome their alcohol problems. We offer a top-class service that offers you the greatest chances of a successful long-term recovery from alcoholism.
That characterizes the vast majority of people with addictions. They initially think a few tweaks of their schedule will help them stop their use of substances, but they fail to realize the compulsive nature of addictions and the strong grip it has on their life. Rehab can help you set short and long-term goals in the areas most important to a strong recovery. These areas include goals for your physical and emotional health, relationships, occupational and spiritual aspirations. Philippines Drug War: Inside the Mega Rehab Centre
Gateway Foundation is a national provider that has 17 convenient drug treatment centers in Illinois, Delaware and California to serve our patients in the places and communities they call home. We put our patients at the center of their substance abuse treatment—life-saving treatment that stays with them throughout their lives. Through individualized treatment, we're able to help them discover what will work best for them in their journey to overcome drug and alcohol addiction.
For most people, it takes one drink to produce an Antabuse reaction, therefore it's hard to get by mistake. You can have foods that have been cooked in wine, as long as they've been cooked the alcohol evaporates quickly. You have to be careful of some deserts that have a lot of uncooked alcohol in them. You also have to be careful of some cough syrups and cold preparations that can contain as much as 40% alcohol.
Because prescription drugs are produced in laboratories and prescribed by doctors, they are mistakenly perceived as "safer" than street drugs. However, the risks of overdose, respiratory depression, cardiac arrest, and accidental death are equal to any other opioid narcotic. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable, with symptoms that resemble a bad flu, such as a runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, shakiness, and cold sweats.
Although Ecstasy declined in popularity after its introduction to the underground club scene in the 1980s and 1990s, a new generation of young users has discovered the drug. Many teens and young adults perceive Ecstasy as a non-addictive, relatively harmless psychedelic drug. However, Ecstasy can cause dangerous side effects, including nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, dehydration, liver and kidney damage, an irregular heartbeat, and aggressive impulses.
Treatments for addiction vary widely according to the types of drugs involved, amount of drugs used, duration of the drug addiction, medical complications and the social needs of the individual. Determining the best type of recovery program for an addicted person depends on a number of factors, including: personality, drugs of choice, concept of spirituality or religion, mental or physical illness, and local availability and affordability of programs.
As with most other chronic diseases, such as diabetes, asthma, or heart disease, treatment for drug addiction generally isn't a cure. However, addiction is treatable and can be successfully managed. People who are recovering from an addiction will be at risk for relapse for years and possibly for their whole lives. Research shows that combining addiction treatment medicines with behavioral therapy ensures the best chance of success for most patients. Treatment approaches tailored to each patient's drug use patterns and any co-occurring medical, mental, and social problems can lead to continued recovery.
However, it's important to recognise that you don't have to suffer on your own; drug addiction is treatable and the most crucial first step is to seek specialist drug addiction treatment and help. Our highly qualified drug addiction teams at Priory consist of expert psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and other addiction specialists, and we are dedicated to providing personalised, comprehensive drug addiction treatment within our extensive network of hospitals and wellbeing centres.
An additional cognitively-based model of substance abuse recovery has been offered by Aaron Beck, the father of cognitive therapy and championed in his 1993 book Cognitive Therapy of Substance Abuse.[42] This therapy rests upon the assumption addicted individuals possess core beliefs, often not accessible to immediate consciousness (unless the patient is also depressed). These core beliefs, such as "I am undesirable," activate a system of addictive beliefs that result in imagined anticipatory benefits of substance use and, consequentially, craving. Once craving has been activated, permissive beliefs ("I can handle getting high just this one more time") are facilitated. Once a permissive set of beliefs have been activated, then the individual will activate drug-seeking and drug-ingesting behaviors. The cognitive therapist's job is to uncover this underlying system of beliefs, analyze it with the patient, and thereby demonstrate its dysfunctional. As with any cognitive-behavioral therapy, homework assignments and behavioral exercises serve to solidify what is learned and discussed during treatment.[43]
We are active in supporting research into improving the lives of those struggling with addiction. Searidge Foundation and our sister rehab Sobriety Home located in Godmanchester, Quebec are highly regarded as the leading alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Canada. We support Florida State University (FSU) in their research into addiction and anxiety disorder. We are also involved with Dr. Brunet, of McGill University, and his leading scientific research on PTSD and addiction memory. Drugs & Addiction : How to Deal With a Drug Addict
There is a strong correlation between alcohol abuse and violent crimes like assault, armed robbery, rape, and homicide. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that in up to half of all murders, the perpetrator consumed alcohol before committing the crime. Approximately 33 percent of sexual assault victims state that their assailant was under the influence of alcohol. In violent crimes where alcohol is involved, up to 60 percent of victims are injured or killed.
GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate) is a CNS depressant. It was approved by the FDA in 2002 for the singular use of treating narcolepsy. Though it initially causes feelings of relaxation and euphoria, high doses of GHB can induce sleep, coma or death. Repeated use leads to GHB addiction and, ultimately, withdrawal symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, tremors and sweating.5
There are several differences between inpatient and outpatient care. Inpatient care is a more intense level of care than outpatient care, which is often a step down from inpatient care. Unlike inpatient care, outpatient treatment does not require clients to stay overnight. Clients can come to the facility regularly (daily, weekly, etc.) for a set number of hours a week, and go home after their session. This allows them to maintain their work schedule and tend to any other off-site responsibilities. Care is less intensive than the inpatient level, as clients typically no longer require round-the-clock care.
For alcohol rehab and drug rehab in the UK, Sanctuary Lodge offers the most comprehensive treatment available for substance abuse and dependence. Clients are given the very finest care, while enjoy the luxury surroundings from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave – and even then, all clients receive a year's free aftercare treatment as well.
Residential Treatment Centers are available for all patients—men, women or adolescents. With 24/7 support, patients can fully immerse in the recovery process with few distractions for the best outcomes. Length of stay varies based on individual need. After graduating from one of our therapeutic communities, treatment continues at an Outpatient facility best suited to each patient. Inpatient Drug Rehab Centers | The Best Inpatient Drug Rehab Centers for Men
Inpatient usually offers more services, but it tends to cost more. Outpatient is a less-expensive option that's generally safe and effective for people with mild or moderate alcohol withdrawal. It works best if your physical and mental health is good, your home is stable, you have support at home, and you don't have a long history of problem drinking. Drug Addiction : How to Recover from Alcohol Addiction
With the Sinclair Method, people only take Revia or Vivitrol before drinking and never otherwise. Revia and Vivitrol are not like other anti-alcohol drugs that cause intense sickness and hangover sensations when taken with alcohol. The change in behavior only appears over time. With the Sinclair Method, Revia or Vivitrol is taken one hour before drinking alcohol. At the end of four to six months of treatment with the Sinclair Method, 80 percent of people who had been overusing alcohol are either drinking moderately or abstaining entirely. Transformations Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centers
At this stage, you will have developed a problem with alcohol and will be drinking out of habit than choice. Your use may be starting to have an impact on other aspects of your life and you might be noticing problems with your moods and sleeping patterns. Nevertheless, you are probably still at the stage where you are enjoying alcohol and believe that it is making your life better.

Seek advice and support from others. Counselors, therapists, and support groups can be valuable sources of advice when you're trying to deal with an addicted loved one. A substance abuse therapist can give you pointers on how to communicate effectively with someone who's in denial. Twelve-step groups like Al-Anon or Nar-Anon can offer support and coping strategies, as well.
Assessment and evaluation– Treatment typically begins with a complete physical and psychological assessment to establish which method of rehabilitation should be used. This is completed by both physicians and treatment counselors. Medical and mental health records are read. Family and alcohol-use histories are also reviewed. This process helps to chart the best course of action. Oftentimes, follow-up reviews are necessary to update or adjust treatment measures. Every aspect of care is based on a personalized treatment plan.
Drug abuse statistics can be alarming, but the numbers also show a potential for help and healing. The Substance Abuse and MEntal Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Survey on Substance Abuse and Health states that while 21 million Americans aged 12 and over needed drug or alcohol treatment in 2016, only 3.8 million received the help they needed at a specialized treatment facility. Other research sources on drug addiction show that:
Getting alcohol out of the addicted person's system is the first part of recovery. People with a severe alcohol addiction can experience intense withdrawal symptoms. A supervised alcohol detox is usually necessary for people addicted to alcohol to prevent potentially fatal complications. Shaking, sweating, seizures, and hallucinations are possible alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - What is it like going to in Rehab
Ideally, health professionals would be able to identify which alcoholism treatment is most effective for each person. NIAAA and other organizations are conducting research to identify genes and other factors that can predict how well someone will respond to a particular treatment. These advances could optimize how treatment decisions are made in the future.
Many treatment plans begin with a detoxification program to help break your body's physical addiction to alcohol. Detoxification is often performed in an inpatient therapy treatment center or hospital. It typically takes one week to complete. Because the symptoms of physical withdrawal can be dramatic, you may also be given medications to help prevent:
Most countries have legislation which brings various drugs and drug-like substances under the control of licensing systems. Typically this legislation covers any or all of the opiates, amphetamines, cannabinoids, cocaine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, anesthetics, hallucinogenics, derivatives and a variety of more modern synthetic drugs. Unlicensed production, supply or possession is a criminal offence.
Holistic recovery programs focus not just on treating alcoholism as a physical or psychological disease, but on healing the body, mind and spirit. In addition to the core components of alcohol rehab — individual and group therapy, family counseling, 12-step meetings and behavioral modification — treatment addresses the patient's spiritual and emotional needs through activities like art therapy, recreational therapy, guided meditation, yoga, acupuncture and massage. The goal of holistic therapy is to promote healing on all levels so the patient can build a meaningful, rewarding life. Drug Rehab Ward AR - Before And After | Drug Rehabilitation Centers Near Me
One of many recovery methods are 12-step recovery programs, with prominent examples including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Drug Addicts Anonymous[29] and Pills Anonymous. They are commonly known and used for a variety of addictions for the individual addicted and the family of the individual. Substance-abuse rehabilitation (rehab) centers offer a residential treatment program for some of the more seriously addicted, in order to isolate the patient from drugs and interactions with other users and dealers. Outpatient clinics usually offer a combination of individual counseling and group counseling. Frequently, a physician or psychiatrist will prescribe medications in order to help patients cope with the side effects of their addiction. Medications can help immensely with anxiety and insomnia, can treat underlying mental disorders (cf. self-medication hypothesis, Khantzian 1997) such as depression, and can help reduce or eliminate withdrawal symptomology when withdrawing from physiologically addictive drugs. Some examples are using benzodiazepines for alcohol detoxification, which prevents delirium tremens and complications; using a slow taper of benzodiazepines or a taper of phenobarbital, sometimes including another antiepileptic agent such as gabapentin, pregabalin, or valproate, for withdrawal from barbiturates or benzodiazepines; using drugs such as baclofen to reduce cravings and propensity for relapse amongst addicts to any drug, especially effective in stimulant users, and alcoholics (in which it is nearly as effective as benzodiazepines in preventing complications); using clonidine, an alpha-agonist, and loperamide for opioid detoxification, for first-time users or those who wish to attempt an abstinence-based recovery (90% of opioid users relapse to active addiction within eight months or are multiple relapse patients); or replacing an opioid that is interfering with or destructive to a user's life, such as illicitly-obtained heroin, dilaudid, or oxycodone, with an opioid that can be administered legally, reduces or eliminates drug cravings, and does not produce a high, such as methadone or buprenorphine – opioid replacement therapy – which is the gold standard for treatment of opioid dependence in developed countries, reducing the risk and cost to both user and society more effectively than any other treatment modality (for opioid dependence), and shows the best short-term and long-term gains for the user, with the greatest longevity, least risk of fatality, greatest quality of life, and lowest risk of relapse and legal issues including arrest and incarceration.[citation needed]
The National Institute on Drug Abuse states, "Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences." Addiction can result from a variety of factors and catalysts, including genetic predisposition, circumstances, environment, trauma and mental health disorders. While addiction often starts with drug abuse, it is not an indication of a person's moral status or stability. In fact, many addictions spring from prescription drug use or casual use of legal substances.
Most severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms occur in the first three to four days after stopping drinking. Detoxification involves taking a short course of medication to help reduce or prevent withdrawal symptoms. Medications such as Valium (diazepam), Librium (chlordiazepoxide), or Ativan (lorazepam), members of the benzodiazepine family, are usually used for detox.
Alcohol is a legal controlled substance that slows down the body's vital functions when consumed in excess. Its many forms include beer, wine and liquor. Some of the physical effects of heavy alcohol consumption are slurred speech, loss of coordination and slowed reaction time. Psychological effects include inhibiting judgment and lowering a person's ability to think rationally. Typically, drinking alcohol in moderation does not signify a problem. However, consuming more than four alcoholic beverages per day for men – or more than three per day for women – can indicate an alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Within the framework of the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), substance dependence is redefined as a drug addiction, and can be diagnosed without the occurrence of a withdrawal syndrome.[6] It was described accordingly: "When an individual persists in use of alcohol or other drugs despite problems related to use of the substance, substance dependence may be diagnosed. Compulsive and repetitive use may result in tolerance to the effect of the drug and withdrawal symptoms when use is reduced or stopped. This, along with Substance Abuse are considered Substance Use Disorders."[7] In the DSM-5 (released in 2013), substance abuse and substance dependence have been merged into the category of substance use disorders and they no longer exist as individual diagnosis.[8] Russel Brand on Addiction and the 12 Step Program
For some people, secondary care is an essential phase between intensive treatment and rehab and a full return to normal life; this is especially likely to be the case if an addict's home environment is dysfunctional or challenging in other ways, and the addict does not yet feel robust enough in their recovery to deal with those challenges as well as the ongoing challenge of staying drug-free.
Treatment should address more than just your drug abuse. Addiction affects your whole life, including your relationships, career, health, and psychological well-being. Treatment success depends on developing a new way of living and addressing the reasons why you turned to drugs in the first place. For example, your drug dependency may have developed from a desire to manage pain or to cope with stress, in which case you'll need to find a healthier way to relieve pain or to handle stressful situations.

Our activities will also organise crafting workshops, computer skills training, and much more so you can get back or reignite that creative spark that was put on hold all during drug addiction. The grounds of Searidge Drug Rehab feature a large outside space full of green pastures and a stone's throw of the ocean that will help you enjoy nature's beauty that is conducive to rest, relaxation and recovery.
State-funded programs are more likely to cover a full range of treatment options, though they may not yet have access the very latest in cutting-edge treatment technology or treatment center amenities that some private programs are able to offer. Despite the likelihood of having more basic or standard recovery settings, these state programs still provide effective treatment as well as valuable post-treatment support.
Behavioral models make use of principles of functional analysis of drinking behavior. Behavior models exist for both working with the substance abuser (Community Reinforcement Approach) and their family (Community Reinforcement Approach and Family Training). Both these models have had considerable research success for both efficacy and effectiveness. This model lays much emphasis on the use of problem-solving techniques as a means of helping the addict to overcome his/her addiction.
As for programme length, residential rehab usually lasts between four and twelve weeks. Many experts believe that shorter programmes do not give patients enough time to recover while longer programmes run the risk of institutionalising patients and making them fearful of returning home. The one exception for longer stays is dual diagnosis. People recovering from a dual diagnosis circumstance may require longer stays. Bob D. - AA Speaker - "My 12-Step Journey to Awakening" - NEW - FULL WORKSHOP
Stress, anger, frustration, self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, trauma – all of these and more can be overwhelming to a person, driving them to seek relief of any kind from any source. Without positive coping skills to help handle issues, many turn to drugs and alcohol and, with repeated use, they spiral out of control into psychological and physical dependence. How to Get Off Opiates (Heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl) | Recovery 2.0 Protocol
As you discharge from inpatient treatment, you will receive recommendations for follow-up care and ongoing recovery support to strengthen your sobriety and reduce the risk of relapse. Like diabetes or hypertension, addiction is a chronic disease. Regaining your health means learning to manage your symptoms, first within the structure of an inpatient rehab program and eventually in your home environment where you are in charge of maintaining and strengthening your recovery.
Cost may be a factor when selecting a treatment approach. Evaluate the coverage in your health insurance plan to determine how much of the costs your insurance will cover and how much you will have to pay. Ask different programs if they offer sliding scale fees — some programs may offer lower prices or payment plans for individuals without health insurance.
Mountainside treatment center is a relatively young treatment center founded in 1998. They claim to be one of the first centers to use a holistic approach to recovery alongside traditional methods of treatment. Treatment ranges from traditional 12-step programs to adventure-based counseling. Mountainside has a multidisciplinary, certified treatment staff with a reputation for being truly empathetic toward their patients.
Nalmefene, an opiate antagonist that is similar in its chemical structure to naltrexone, is one of the most recent drugs being investigated for the treatment of alcoholism. Like naltrexone (sold as ReVia, Depade, or Vivitrol), nalmefene deprives the person struggling with substance use of the pleasurable feelings associated with drinking. But nalmefene is less toxic to the liver than naltrexone. As of 2013, nalmefene was still undergoing clinical trials through the U.S. National Institutes of Health before receiving FDA approval.
High Success Rates. Most drug rehabs keep track of the recidivism, or relapse, rates of their patients and the most effective programs keep in close contact with clients as much as possible after they are graduated from treatment. The success rates for different drugs and situations can help patients compare the efficacy of different theories behind addiction treatment.

Raising the Tattered Crash Flag• https://internationalman.com
Take off your shoes. Walk on tiptoe. Be quiet.
In front of us lies inflation. It hasn't moved for years – rising only about 1.5%-2% – despite all the prodding from the feds.
The Fed tried to shock it awake with $3.6 trillion in stimulus money. And Congress hit it with more than $10 trillion in deficit spending stimulus over the last 10 years.
But… nothing. Not a whimper. Not a twitch.
Greasing the Wheels
And the authorities are deeply concerned. Here's Peter Coy, at Bloomberg, explaining why:
While five-digit, Venezuelan-grade inflation is destructive, a little bit greases the wheels of commerce. It makes it easier for companies to give stealth pay cuts to underperformers, because keeping their pay flat is tantamount to a reduction in real wages. Some inflation is also useful to central banks because it helps them fight recessions. To spur borrowing, they like to cut their policy rates to well below the rate of inflation. But they have no room to do so if the rate is barely above zero. A surprise decline in inflation also punishes borrowers by making their debts more burdensome.
Yes, the feds, the professors, the politicians (including Donald Trump), and the business elite all think the same thing – that a little inflation is a good thing. They worry now that there may not be enough of it.
That fear was ably expressed in Bloomberg's Businessweek (BW) with what might become another landmark cover story, the kind you remember for many years, and laugh at each time it's mentioned.
"Is Inflation Dead?" is the headline. It immediately reminded us of the famous Businessweek cover from 1979 – "The Death of Equities."
That cover turned out to be excellent timing – for contrarians.
Equities had been in a bear market for the previous 14 years. And inflation had been going up. The geniuses at BW could only imagine that the two trends would last forever.

The dependence of fish biting on the weather
Each angler determines his own factors for biting. Experienced fishermen are based on personal experience of observing the weather, analyzing their records, observing nature, communicating with colleagues, and what else. For successful fishing you should try to take into account all possible natural factors. To compare them and, making sure that nature is favorable to the angler, you can safely go fishing.
And since fishing cannot be all clear and well known, the topic of weather conditions requires constant addition and search for new truths. Let's try to understand them. Continue reading

Get ready for a fourth industrial revolution
Should we embrace or fear the robot revolution? The Bank of England's chief economist has warned of the need to take drastic measures to stop millions of people falling victim to AI.
Yesterday, the chief economist of the Bank of England,' Andy Haldane, warned that millions face unemployment as artificial intelligence (AI) begins to replace jobs.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Haldane predicted that the disruption caused by the AI revolution could be "on a much greater scale" than anything felt during the First Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th century.
The term "fourth industrial revolution" was popularised by Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum.
The first revolution saw rural societies become industrial and urban.
The second came around the turn of the 20th century, a period of growth for pre-existing industries and expansion of new ones. Electric power enabled mass production, rendering millions of jobs obsolete.
The third was the digital revolution. The age of computers, the internet and the mobile phone.
These times of upheaval all saw "a hollowing out of the jobs market". This caused huge social problems.
As a new industrial revolution wave breaks, people will have to adapt.
But will the positives of these changes outweigh the negatives?
Humanity is unprepared for this, say some. The Israeli writer Yuval Noah Harari predicts that the robot revolution will create a class of almost god-like humans with immense power, while the rest of us are left with nothing to do with our time. There is already anger at wealth inequality in modern societies. That would only increase.
But there would be new jobs to create and maintain this technology, argue others. Tabitha Goldstaub, chair of the Artificial Intelligence Council, predicts that "boring, mundane, unsafe" jobs will go, adding that "there could be some element of liberation from some of these jobs and a move towards a brighter world."
You Decide
- Think of your dream job. Could a robot do it?
- Imagine that you are the head of a robotics company and have been asked to design a new robot to do a specific job. What will your robot look like? How would it do its job?
Some People Say...
"Our worst comes out when we behave like robots."Fernando Flores
What do you think?
- What do we know?
- The robot revolution is not some futuristic pipe dream; it is already happening. Thousands of jobs in retail and manufacturing have already been lost to machines, and this will continue into the future.
- What do we not know?
- Just how fast this will all happen. In any field, it has to be proved beyond much reasonable doubt that robots are both safe and more efficient than humans.

Viability of cadaver skin grafts stored in skin bank at two different temperatures.
In India, about 5 to 7 million burn cases occur every year and a great number of them can be salvaged if provided with a wound cover in time (1). Homografts limit infection, reduce protein and electrolyte loss and alleviate pain (1). The use of skin allografts is desirable in the treatment of patients with large wounds due to thermal injury. Hence the idea of preserving skin was conceived several years ago which led to development of skin banks. Skin Bank in L.T.M. Medical College & Hospital, Mumbai, was started in the year 2000 and is the first Skin Bank with the capability of harvesting cadaveric skin grafts in our country. Freezing of skin has been tried earlier and the necessary pre-requisites include treatment of skin with glycerol or dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) (2). Short-term storage in liquid nutrient medium is clinically desirable for certain length of time. Hence refrigeration using nutrient media becomes essential to maintain the viability (3).
A study was conducted at Skin Bank, L.T.M. Medical College, Mumbai, to evaluate the effect on viability of skin allografts on long-term storage with only phosphate buffer saline (PBS) at 4[degrees]C and PBS with 15 per cent glycerol at -70[degrees]C. In a preliminary study in our hospital (unpublished), we studied PBS and RPMI-1640 as preservation media, and both gave comparable results. So, PBS was used in this study, as it is cost-effective than RPMI-1640.
A total of 33 split-thickness skin grafts obtained from cadaver donors after written consent from their relatives, were studied from July 2002 to December 2006, after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Exclusion criteria were cadaver with systemic sepsis, skin malignancy or skin diseases, and positive serology for anti-HIV, HBsAg, anti-HCV and VDRL test. Three donors were excluded from the study--1 positive for HIV antibodies, 1 positive for HBsAg and 1 for HCV antibodies. Therefore viability test was performed on 30 cadaver skin grafts.
Split-thickness grafts 1/100th inch were obtained within 24 h of death by carefully preparing the donor area with 1 per cent povidone-iodine and spirit. Skin grafts were assayed for viability by measuring tetrazolium reductase activity as described by Hershey et al (4). Skin pieces (1-2 [cm.sup.2]) were incubated with 2 ml each of 1.5 per cent (w/v) 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride, A.R. (TTC) (Hi-Media, Mumbai, India) and 3 per cent (w/v) sodium succinate (Hi-Media, Mumbai, India) in vacuum for 1 h at 37[degrees]C. Vacuum was created using McIntosh Fildes' anaerobic jar without the catalyst. The skin pieces were then blotted dry and red coloured formazan extracted using ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (Merck, Mumbai, India). The optical density (OD) was measured using colorimeter (HANS 102 Model, Kanad Vidyut, Pune, India) at 490 nm. Distilled water was used as negative control. Skin grafts showing an OD value of >0.2 were considered viable (4). All viable cadaver skin grafts were preserved using PBS with antibiotics at 4[degrees]C or PBS with antibiotics and 15 per cent glycerol (Merck, Mumbai, India) at -70[degrees]C. Antibiotics used were crystalline penicillin 1 lakh units/100 ml (Alembic, Baroda, India) and gentamicin 80 mg/100 ml (Nicholas, MP, India). Viability of the skin grafts from both the preservation media was checked once every week up to 1 month.
At procurement, 22 out of 30 cadaver skin grafts were viable (73.3%) and eight were non-viable (26.7%). All viable grafts retained viability at -70[degrees]C in PBS with 15 per cent glycerol at the time of receiving (0 h), after 24 h, after 1, 2 and 3 wk, and after one month. The 22 viable skin grafts stored in PBS at 4[degrees]C were viable at the time of receiving (0 h) and after 24 h, but only 6 (27.3%) were viable after 1 wk and none after 2 wk.
Viability is an important parameter during low temperature storage, as cells deteriorate when removed from their physiological state. Various media like RPMI-1640 (3), saline (5), Eagle's MEM with L-glutamine (6), PBS, Ringer's solution (7), Ham's F-12 and DMEM (8), etc., have been used in the past as preservation media. Culture medium is considered a better medium than saline, as it is rich in nutrients such as inorganic salts, amino acids and vitamins that are necessary for graft viability (8). These media prevent qualitative changes in the graft.
Zhu (9) showed that 90.3 per cent of the viability was retained in PBS at one week which gradually decreased after 2 wk (9). Thus, for long-term storage of skin or any other tissue, cryopreservation is desirable. Use of cryoprotective agent (CPA) is essential to protect the cells from mechanical injury. The CPAs act by partially binding water. Many workers have used 15 per cent glycerol (1,7,9,11,12) as a cryoprotectant, while others have used DMSO (2,5,12). However, DMSO is more toxic than glycerol. We used 15 per cent glycerol in this study, as it does not have any toxic side effects and penetrates the cells slowly (12).
Bravo and colleagues (12) found that human cadaver skin grafts after procurement and just prior to further tissue bank processing exhibit approximately 60 per cent of the metabolic activity found in flesh skin samples obtained from living surgical donors (12). They also showed that cryopreserved skin retained higher viability as compared to skin stored at 4[degrees]C, which is also shown in the present study. Skin cryopreserved with DMSO retained higher viability than glycero (12). Using 15 per cent glycerol in this study, we found 100 per cent viability even after one month of storage. Konstantinow et al (10) showed that cryopreserved split-thickness skin retained 64.6 per cent viability when stored in MEM with 15 per cent glycerol as compared to 100 per cent viability of fresh skin.
For low temperature storage, many workers have used liquid nitrogen at -196[degrees]C since electrically driven freezers are prone to failures (1,7). In the present study, we used -70[degrees]C ultra low temperature deep freezer and we did not encounter any failure.
To determine the effectiveness of any cryopreservation procedure, it is important to select appropriate viability assay (10). There are several techniques to determine the viability of tissues such as dye-exclusion test with trypan blue, DNA synthesis using H-thymidine, glucose and oxygen consumption assays, production of lactate, [sup.13]C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, etc (10). The method used in the present study did not require expensive chemicals or infrastructure to carry out the test. The McIntosh Fildes' jar was used to create vacuum, but nitrogen gas was not used to replace the vacuum in the jar. Yet the formation of red coloured formazan could be seen. Hence it can be used in small laboratories to carry out routine viability test which is simple, easy to perform and can yield quantitative data.
Skin can also be stored as non-viable wound cover using 98 per cent glycerol as preservation medium as done in Euro Skin Bank started in 1976 by Hermans and colleagues (11). Besides, it also has antibacterial and antiviral properties and maintains the integrity of skin structure (11). Therefore, 8 grafts which were non-viable, were preserved in 98 per cent glycerol and used as wound cover. The British Association of Tissue Banks (BATB) guidelines (5) suggest the storage of skin after 6 months as non-viable graft in 98 per cent glycerol, but it is difficult to rehydrate and is inferior for transplantation purposes (5).
In conclusion, our study showed that long-term storage of cadaver skin grafts can be effectively done at -70[degrees]C. The concentration of glycerol is important because at higher concentration, the skin loses its viability. The findings also indicate that PBS with 15 per cent glycerol appears to be a suitable preservation medium for storage of cadaver skin grafts.
