Professor Dan L Bader, scientist, mentor, and friend
No full textThis special edition of the Journal of Tissue Viability provides a collection of scientific excellence led by the late Professor Dan L Bader. These papers form part of an academic career spanning over 40 years, working in collaboration with partners from around the world to provide novel insights into factors effecting tissue viability and technologies to promote wound prevention. Dan's great ambition was to translate his work from ‘bench to bedside’, using the highest quality experimental data [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]], computational modelling [9,10] and clinical studies [11,12] to create a step change in our understanding of factors which effect tissue health. This body of work originated from his career spanning several academic institutions including Queen Mary University London (QMUL), Technical University Eindhoven (TUE), and the University of Southampton (UoS).No Full Tex
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Technologies to monitor the health of loaded skin tissues
No full textThere are many situations where the skin and underlying soft tissues are compromised by mechanical loading in the form or pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. If sustained, this can lead to damage in the tissues particularly adjacent to bony prominences, resulting in chronic wounds. An array of bioengineering technologies have been adopted to assess the integrity of loaded soft tissues. This paper aims to review these approaches for the quantification, simulation and early detection of mechanically-induced skin damage. The review considers different measurements at the interface between the skin and support surface/medical device, involving pressure, shear, friction and the local microclimate. The potential of the techniques to monitor the physiological response of the skin to these external stimuli including biophysical measurement devices and sampling of biofluids are critically analysed. In addition, it includes an analysis of medical imaging technologies and computational modelling to provide a means by which tissue deformation can be quantified and thresholds for tissue damage defined. Bioengineering measurement and imaging technologies have provided an insight into the temporal status of loaded skin. Despite the advances in technology, to date, the translation to clinical tools which are robust and cost effective has been limited. There is a need to adapt existing technologies and simulation platforms to enable patients, carers and clinicians to employ appropriate intervention strategies to minimise soft tissue damage

A modified evaluation of spacer fabric and airflow technologies for controlling microclimate at the loaded support interface
No full textThe microclimate between an individual and their support surface can have a significant effect on skin health. Recently, healthcare companies have developed mattress systems designed to regulate the temperature and humidity at the individual-support surface interface, which include spacer fabric materials and active airflow systems. However, to date, there has been little formal evaluation of their performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate mattress systems using an established lab-based approach.A physical model tank was applied to each support surface, filled with 20 L of water maintained at 37°C. A continuous network of perforated plastic tubing deposited water equivalent to a sweat rate of 1.5 mL/min for 25 minutes. Humidity and temperature sensors, stitched onto the thin cotton sheet,monitored the interface conditions for a total of 24 hours. Tests were conducted using a range of support surfaces incorporating spacer fabrics, with and without active airflow and ventilated covers.The results from this study revealed that spacer fabric appears to dissipate heat more effectively than viscoelastic foam (Heat Flux 33.6W/m2 vs. 10.4 W/m2). With no active airflow the viscoelastic foam and spacer fabric exhibited a limited reduction in relative humidity at the interface. However, withactive airflow, the spacer fabric had the ability to reduce relative humidity over time to basal levels through moisture vapour transfer (MVTR) capability. This represented a change from saturation (99% RH) to ambient humidity (40%) over a 24 hour period (water vapour transfer rate = 0.9 g/m²;hr).Further parametric testing is required to evaluate the optimal combinations of spacer fabric material and active airflow systems
Imaging nuclear, endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane events in real time
No full textLive cell imaging can provide important information on cellular dynamics; however, the full utilisation of this technology has been hampered by the limitations of imaging reagents. Metal-based complexes have the potential to overcome many of the issues common to many current imaging agents. The rhenium (I)-based complex fac-[Re(CO)3 (1,10-phenanthroline)(4-pyridyltetrazolate)], herein referred to as ReZolve-ER(™) , shows promise as a live cell imaging agent with rapid cell uptake, low cytotoxicity, resistance to photobleaching and compatibility with multicolour imaging. ReZolve-ER(™) localised to the nuclear membrane/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and allowed the detection of exocytotic events at the plasma membrane. Thus, we present a new imaging agent for monitoring live cell events in real time, which is ideal for imaging either short- or long-time courses.Christie A. Bader, Alexandra Sorvina, Peter V.
