Do you ever go to the hospital ?yes you are ,if you have sick you will have to go to the the hospital to see doctor,and if your friends in hospital ,you will go to the hospital to see him.
So the hospital is familiar to all of us.
When we go to the inpatient, we will see many different kinds of diseases in it. Sometimes people will die in the hospital when they have heavily disease. By the way, the most people have small problems with them, maybe he has cold, toothache, stomach pain and so on. Sometimes, I would not like to the hospital, where is bad smelling ,and maybe a die person through your side, which is very horrible.

One of Warsaw’s Big Three is getting a little bit bigger.
DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. plans to invest $27 million in manufacturing and research equipment at its Warsaw operations, according to an abatement request filed with the city of Warsaw.
The orthopedic devices maker, which employs 1,150, doesn’t expect to add jobs as part of the project, according to the filing.
Warsaw officials this week approved the request, giving the company a 10-year break on taxes assessed on the machinery. The equipment is scheduled to be installed sometime before 2014.

Xencor, Inc., a company using its proprietary Protein Design Automation® (PDA) platform technology to engineer next-generation antibodies, announced today the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial of XmAb®5871, the company’s therapeutic antibody for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. XmAb5871 uses a novel dual-targeted approach to potently suppress autoimmune disorders that may avoid some of the side effects seen with other therapeutic antibodies that modulate immune response. The advancement of XmAb5871 into clinical stage testing demonstrates the broad potential of Xencor’s antibody engineering technology in immune and inflammatory diseases in addition to oncology.

A novel study demonstrates that using nanoparticles to deliver osteoarthritis drugs to the knee joint could help increase the retention of the drug in the knee cavity, and therefore reduce the frequency of injections patients must receive. This research was presented Oct. 23 – 27 at the 2011 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C.

A study shows that the medication etanercept reduces the frequency and severity of symptoms of TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), a rare inherited condition characterized by recurrent fevers, abdominal pain and skin rashes. The study, published in Arthritis Rheumatism, also points out the need for the development of additional therapies to more thoroughly ease symptoms and prevent long-term complications of the disease. The study was released by researchers at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), a part of the National Institutes of Health.

They report that it’s probably more realistic to say somewhere between 8 million and 22 million may enroll in Medicaid by 2014 instead of the 16 million predicted by the CBO.

New research suggests African Americans have a higher burden of multiple, large-joint osteoarthritis (OA), and may not be recognized based on the current definition of “generalized OA.” African Americans were also more likely to have knee OA, but less likely to be affected by hand OA than Caucasians according to the findings reported in Arthritis Rheumatism, a peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR).
