This document summarizes the use of simplified negative pressure wound therapy (sNPWT) in pediatrics. sNPWT uses a portable, canisterless device to apply negative pressure between 25-125 mmHg to wounds. It promotes healing through microcirculation, tissue oxygenation, and bacterial reduction. The document finds sNPWT has benefits over traditional NPWT like improved tolerance, ability to be used as outpatients, and reduced dressing changes and pain. However, sNPWT has limited duration and inability to modulate pressure. Overall, sNPWT was found to achieve over 90% total wound healing.
Gossypiboma, textiloma or more broadly Retained Foreign Object (RFO) is the technical term for a surgical complications resulting from foreign materials, such as a surgical sponge, accidentally left inside a patient's body
Our new programmable CCNPWT system delivers controlled negative pressure in the wound site to accelerate healing process. The system delivers continuous, variable and intermittent therapy settings for effective therapy goals. The fully loaded system with safety parameters for leakage, blockage, canister full and system inactive conditions. The robust system has been designed light just about 950gms for mobile patients with a very user friendly operation menu.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
