A Telehealth Room at the Storm Lake Public Library
My dream of a Telehealth Room at our library began when I read an article on the Pottsboro Area Library’s Telehealth Space in Texas in the May 2021 issue of American Libraries. I greatly admired the concept of telemedicine at a public library. That was during the pandemic, when our library was closed to the public but preparing to re-open at 50% capacity. Our patrons were eager to browse the shelves again. The staff were also tired because we had books everywhere due to a leaking roof that damaged a portion of the nonfiction area. Among all the reshelving, I stared at the Pottsboro Area Library photo and wondered how we ...

Histotripsy could become an option for patients who might otherwise be unlikely candidates for radiation or other ablation techniques, according to NYU Langone Health. "This device allows us to offer ablation to patients who would normally not be good candidates," said Mikhail Silk, MD, an interventional radiologist at NYU Langone who performed the proced...

Opinion: Thames Water makes case for renationalisation … now!
By UNISON’s head of environment, Donna Rowe-Merriman Shadowy overseas private equity firms have sucked all the good out of Thames Water and saddled it with billions of pounds of debt. So reports that it is scrambling to find extra cash, after handing out millions of pounds to shareholders and bonuses to top bosses in recent years, are hardly surprising. Even its shareholders won’t keep it afloat, having refused to pay £500m by the end of the month, saying regulatory requirements make its business plan “uninvestable”, and insisting that bills must go up – company boss Chris Weston told the BBC today that they nee...
