The Role of Online UPS in Healthcare and Continuous Patient Care

When we think about hospitals, we usually picture doctors, nurses, and medical equipment geared towards saving lives. These are critical components, but what ensures that all these elements function without a hitch? The answer is stable and uninterrupted electrical power, typically provided by an online UPS. Just imagine the chaos that would ensue if there were a sudden power outage. Important machines could fail, operations could be interrupted, and in worst-case scenarios, lives could be put at risk. This is where the role of an online UPS becomes invaluable. Let's understand how these machines work in detail. The Necessity of Uninterrupted Power Hospitals are places that use a variety of machines and equipment for patient care, from life-support systems to diagnostic machines like MRIs and CT scans. Each of these machines requires a stable electrical power supply to function correctly. A sudden loss of power could not only damage the equipment but, more importantly, jeopardize the lives of patients. This is where the UPS power supply becomes indispensable. Switching to battery power the moment there's an electrical failure ensures that there is no disruption in the functioning of these critical devices. Importance of Climate Control Comfort and hygiene are key factors in a hospital. Rooms have to be maintained at precise temperatures and humidity levels to keep patients comfortable and avoid the growth of harmful bacteria or mould. A precision air conditioner is a specialised equipment that serves this purpose. However, like all devices, it requires electricity to run. A robust UPS system ensures that even in the event of a power failure, the air conditioner continues to operate, maintaining the optimal environment for patient care. Voltage Stability is Key While it's crucial to have a power backup, it's equally essential that the power being supplied is of consistent quality. Fluctuations in voltage can not only harm sensitive medical equipment but also pose a risk to patient safety. A servo stabilizer might be useful in this situation. It works in tandem with the online UPS to ensure that the power supplied to all equipment is consistent and free from fluctuations, thus reducing the risk of equipment damage and subsequent downtime. Long-lasting Battery Support When the power outage is more than just a short interruption, having a durable and reliable battery backup is imperative. VRLA battery is known for its durability and ability to provide power over extended periods. Used in conjunction with a UPS system, they ensure that the hospital has a reliable backup power source that can last for hours, if not days, during a prolonged outage. All Pieces of the Puzzle When you look at it as a whole, it's clear that each component, from the Online UPS to the VRLA battery, plays a significant role in maintaining the operations of a healthcare facility. Together, they create a robust support network that ensures uninterrupted patient care, allowing medical professionals to focus on what they do best - saving lives. Bottom Line In healthcare, there's no room for error or even a moment's delay. Systems like online UPS, Air Conditioners, and VRLA Batteries are not just add-ons but essential components that contribute to a hospital's effective functioning. Companies like Meghjit Power Solutions LLP that is often the heroes, providing these indispensable solutions for uninterrupted healthcare services.

Event Nine: Promise

[CW: death, drowning]

The weeks following the start of the emotional conditioning bore down on Sollux with the force of a dead whale. He could feel the walls pressing down on him, suffocating and claustrophobic, and half the days he found himself waking from helming daymares.

The others fared no better.

Ophlia didn’t seem to sleep. Zesaim sat on her bunk for hours at a time, wall-eyed, while Rosmer cried in other troll’s voices into the day. Sollux hadn’t known the olive could mimic voices, and wished that had remained a secret. Mercuo often woke gasping, holding onto his gills before tucking himself next to a stonefaced Trisia.

Ualona managed to hold himself together somehow, and often came to Sollux for help. After their now nightly emotional conditioning they huddled together for warmth, heads leaned in over their tablets. This morning however, Ualona came back to the bunks quiet. He tapped on his tablet for near to an hour before several identical text notifications dinged from all their tablets.

[actualizedClairvoytant [AC] has opened up the memo keepyourmout-| |-ss-| |-ut] twinArmaggedons [TA] has entered the chat! glorifiedCorpsification [GC] has entered the chat! chronicAcademician [CA] has entered the chat! castigatedTrepidation [CT] has entered the chat! cavortingGratuity [CG] has entered the chat! accentuatedAntimony [AA] has entered the chat! TA: the fuck UA ii can barely uncurl my fiinger2 2tiill wtf ii2 up?? AA: jus7 spi7 i7 ou7 bud i wan7 7o ca7ch some zs while i can AA: 7heyre 7hrowing new shi7 a7 us soon i can feel i7 AC: cant AC: the mics remember?

Sollux glanced up and off to the side, where the speaker produced its steady whine as usual. It would be stupid to think the connection didn’t go both ways.

TA: okay 2hoot TA: what have you got?? AC: i was digging in t-| |-e interrogatormentor arc-| |-ives and i found all our files. CG: and How does THat even Help us? CG: i don’T need To know wHaT They Think of me. CA: treasOOn.

A whimper came from Rosmer’s bunk, and Sollux looked down to see Ophlia staring the olive down with bloodshot eyes and bared teeth.

AC: okay treason aside youll wanna -| |-ear t-| |-is. AC: especially you rosmer.

[actualizedClairvoyant [AC] has sent the file flunkies.txt]

Sollux scanned the document, brows furrowed. Even in the confidential archives someone had censored the documents, black lines smeared across various points of data. Someone else, Ualona no doubt, had highlighted specific sections of each.

Mercuo Trevan: Interrogated and broke a rebellion recruiting ring in Imperial Navy recruits. Purposefully joined, goals for the BC Reichenbach.

Zesaim Exeria: Random draw. Induce failure in time for unit on psionic alterations to the brain due to psionic projection ability.

Sollux Captor: Former helmsman, isolated rebels in brig to promote surrender; reportedly accessed the Imperial Network and ran a long-standing data mining protocol for several sweeps prior to capture and indoctrination. Brought to attention by Head Admin Eridan Ampora and ██████ ██████ [████████].

Trisia Avarae: Identified several problem spots in local drone patrol routes and took down a single unit. Promote immediately upon graduation.

Ophlia Davrot: Drowned a head subjuggulator in sacrificial blood pools following an identical attempt on her life due to poor humor. Tested on basic interrogatormentor techniques and passed with an 89%.

Rosmer Leywet: Random draw. Induce failure at convenience of instructor. Recommended for immediate cremation; has no particular talent nor purpose. Proposed: preserve vocal chords for study? Request denied.

Ualona Reshan: Hacked into the imperial network and managed to stay online for five minutes. Sent a notification to the drones through this system for two removals of traitors in apartment directly above residence in hivestem.

The chat stayed idle for a few minutes, before Sollux broke the silence with the gentle clacking of his claws against the tablet screen.

TA: 2o what doe2 thii2 mean?? TA: are the2e TA: accurate?? AC: t-| |-ey are for me GC: *YeS.* CG: seconded. AA: you mean 7hirded!

Mercuo grabbed his pillow, reaching out and smacking at Trisia’s ankles. She managed a shaky laugh. “Fourthed!” she said, before chugging from her water bottle. Rosmer only pulled his knees closer to his chest.

CT: they told me i won a lot~tery, CT: why would they tell me oth~er~wise, AC: t-| |-ey want people to fail TA: oh 2hiit TA: that’2 where they’re gettiing the te2t 2ubject2 for all theiir traiiniing viideo2. TA: how el2e would they have 2o many liive feed2 whiithout a hiigh piing rate??

Zesaim put a hand to her mouth, looking over to Rosmer who buried his face in his hands. He started crying, in a voice Sollux didn’t recognize this time. Ophlia broke her weeks long silence in a voice like rusted nails scraping up against each other.

“You know what we must do.”

Sollux woke in a web of wires, head pounding to the beat of a familiar, klaxon alarm. He jerked in the helming harness, throwing his head back as he tried initiating a defense protocol. Nothing came to him, the only response a blinding pain from his temples that whited out his vision.

“Status report,” said a voice, somewhere off to his left.

“Helmsman A1A100 reporting system disconnect. Attempted sabotage detected. Administrator password required to proceed.” Sollux swallowed, trying to moisten his dry lips. Hang on. What happened to the humidity?

He opened his eyes, registering Rapard standing at attention just before another wave of pain jolted up his spine. Sollux almost yelled before he caught himself, sucking in a breath instead and separating himself from the sensation as he’d been taught.

“Nice work, Captor,” Rapard said, moving forward. “That’s the fastest recovery I’ve seen yet. Welcome to your next stage of emotional conditioning.”

Sollux gritted his teeth, brows furrowing before he forced them smooth. “Yes sir,” he said, forcing the words out even as instinctive terror roiled in his gut. He didn’t want to helm again. He couldn’t helm again, and this facsimile of flying left him mentally scattered. He shoved away the thought that this exercise was in response to Ualona’s discovery the night before. He’d written the code necessary for them to have private chat rooms himself.

Rapard began his usual patrol around the room then, throwing random trivia at Sollux in time with electric pulses that surged through nodes attached to his sealed ports. Sollux held firm, his face a mask of blank indifference as he forced himself to disassociate from the pain. The questions remained easy enough, all tidbits from the lessons on technique. They were so innocuous, in fact, that at first Sollux thought he imagined Rapard’s next line of inquiry as a claw traced on his chin.

“How long have you known the rebel insurgent known as Karkat Vantas, hex code unknown?”

“What?” Sollux blinked, shaking his head as he tried to return to reality.

He yelled as Rapard pressed a button on the remote in his hand, the electric charge at least double what he’d experienced so far.

“Pay attention, Captor,” Rapard said. He leaned in close, nose an inch from Sollux’s own. “Separating yourself completely will only lead to you missing important data.” He pressed the button again, face impassive as Sollux jerked in the wires. “Now, answer. How long have you known Karkat Vantas, rebel insurgent? Where is he?”

Sollux swallowed hard. The name rattled around his pan, sending guilt and anxiety through him in equal measure. No. How did they know? He’d tried to lock away that information, bury it deep inside of himself and throw away the key during his time as a helmsman. How did they know about Karkat? Did they know about Feferi, or Kanaya? He’d seen Eridan’s named on his file the other night, had he turned traitor?

Rapard pressed the button again, and Sollux screamed as his muscles involuntarily tensed. The smell of burnt flesh hit his nostrils, and his vision faded in and out of focus. “I don’t- Shit!” Another electric charge, and Sollux’s fists clenched on nothing. He tried exercising his learned behaviors from lessons, stepping outside of the pain and attempting to retreat into his own thoughts. Karkat’s face met him there as he’d last seen him, hunched in front of his webcam and begging Sollux to run as the noise of drones echoed around Sollux’s hive.

Rapard tapped him on the nose, deliberate and mocking. “I won’t ask you again, recruit.”

“Since I was five,” Sollux said, flinching as Rapard’s finger twitched on the remote in his hand. “I don’t know where he is now.” He yelled, back arching as another charge surged through him. The klaxon alarm grew louder, reverberating in time with the pounding in his skull. “I don’t! Fuck! Alternia! Eastern quadrant, coordinates 56 by 900, bunker!” The shocks did not dissipate as he cried out, only increasing in power and frequency.

As Sollux hovered on the edge of consciousness Rapard grabbed his jaw, claws digging into the skin enough to draw tiny pinpricks of yellow blood. “Good, nice work,” he said. Sollux caught a glimpse of the seadweller’s teeth as he grinned, red light glinting off the jagged edges. “I want to make you a promise, Captor. Are you listening?”

“Yes.” Sollux gulped for air as the shocks abated for a few moments, taking the respite to separate himself from the pain and emotion in time for the pain to start anew. He did not so much as cry out, sweat beading along his forehead as he forced it away. He finally understood Ualona. What did Rapard promise you?

“You stay with the interrogatormentors, you stay compliant and devote yourself to the empire, and we won’t touch Vantas,” Rapard said. “You step a toe out of line, you get a single demerit, and you’re receiving his head on a platter. You understand?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

The lights dimmed then, and Sollux sagged as electricity stopped surging through the wires. He fell into his knees as Rapard cut him down, but forced his head high even as every muscle shook with the effort. As he hauled himself up and staggered from the room Sollux couldn’t find himself to feel fear, for himself or Karkat. He couldn’t feel anything at all. Even the pain had faded into the background, a distant reminder as he dragged himself to the mess hall. He sat in silence, staring at his food. Only Zesaim and Rosmer seemed themselves, with Rosmer even offering a shaky Ualona one of his classic beaker-made cookies. “You deserve it after what you found this evening,” the olive said, smiling. “It’s the least I can do to repay you.” The smile did not reach his eyes.

As per usual, physical endurance training took place the next night. Sollux moved towards the pool, hoping to exercise in a less load-bearing way, only for Instructor Pozoia to put a hand out. “Bikes, recruit,” the cerulean said, jerking his head in the way he wanted Sollux to go. “Ualona, take the pool.”

Ualona paused, blinking as he shook his head. “Huh?”

“The pool, Ualona,” Pozoia said, pointing.

“Oh, right, right.” Ualona trudged over to the pool, rubbing his eyes before jumping into the water. Sollux paused, but turned away to climb onto one of the exercise bikes. They’d all been a little out of it since yesterday.

After a half hour a loud splash caught Sollux’s attention, and he turned his head to see Ualona starting to flounder in the pool. Something seemed off-- his movements were erratic, head lolling to the side and dipping into the water a few seconds at a time. Sollux lifted a hand, catching the instructor’s attention and pointing. “Sir? Ualona needs help.”

Instructor Pozoia glanced up from his tablet, looking down his nose at Ualona’s struggle. “He can help himself, or drown,” he said, swiping his finger across his tablet.

Sollux hesitated before lifting his feet from his bike’s pedals, hopping off just as Trisia touched down from the climbing wall. “No, look,” he said. Ualona was starting to dip more and more, audibly choking every time he surfaced.

“He can’t even move his arms!” Trisia grabbed onto the instructor’s arm, only for Pozoia to jerk it away with a purse of his lips.

“Go ahead and help him,” Pozoia said. He met Sollux’s eyes, then Trisia’s, face set. “That’ll be a demerit on both your records.”

Sollux’s breath caught in his throat, and all his concern for Ualona melted away as Rapard’s words echoed in his ears. Automatically his learned responses kicked in, disassociating him from the situation at hand and rooting him to the ground until Ophlia charged past him with the surging fury of a freighter.

“Ualona!” The purple bounded across the gym’s floor in a matter of seconds, light on her feet as she made a beeline for the pool. Instructor Pozoia let out a soft sigh, and grabbed onto Ophlia’s horn as she passed and pinched at the base. Ophlia seized up, hesitating just long enough for Pozoia to drive his shoulder into the much larger troll’s chest and bowling her onto her back. Ophlia roared, eyes reddening before Pozoia stomped his foot onto her throat and cut her off. “No,” she croaked. “No, save him! Bastard! He doesn’t deserve to die!”

Ualona surfaced from a minute-long stint underwater then, screaming with a fury in contrast with his sluggish movements. “Rosmer!”

Rosmer froze in place, turning his head just enough to indicate he’d even noticed. “Yes, Ualona?” His whisper barely made it over the sound of Ualona’s splashing and Ophlia’s choking from the ground.

“Bastard!” Ualona sank again, kicking and driving himself into the wall. He surfaced again, voice burbling around the water in his throat before he could speak again. “Rat! What did you put in that cookie?” He let out a wet sob, choking. “I don’t want to die! Please, don’t let me die-- fffkrk--” Once again he fell beneath the surface of the water, and Sollux wasn’t surprised that he did not rise again. A sense of finality settled over him as he watched the water, and another voice of the doomed went silent.

Rosmer walked to the edge of the pool, watching as Ualona’s body drifted up to the surface. Without warning he spat into the water, turning back to face the others. “Sorry, that was rude,” he said. He smiled, but his eyes remained vacant and glassy. “You all saw his chat messages. He put us all in danger.”

Sollux looked past Rosmer, barely registering the sound of Ophlia continuing to wheeze and the dull thud of Trisia landing a mean right hook to Rosmer’s jaw. Rosmer’s glasses clattered in front of Sollux, but he didn’t move as he continued staring at Ualona’s body.

For a moment he saw Karkat, curly hair floating in the water.

Sollux blinked, and the vision faded. He tried to feel something, anything for the rust he’d considered a friend, but nothing came to him except a dull resignation.

If he didn’t want to end up like Ualona, dead in the water, he had to play his part.

MIKA on my Spotify.

god i can’t wait to crawl into bed in a few minutes.

i need to be up early for a doctor appointment but i am also extremely tired and just need to be horizontal

/snerk/

it’s been a weird past few days

at the wedding yesterday, my friend’s sister in law offered to test if she was a donor match in case i need a liver transplant

....okay? thank you? i... that is incredibly sweet, but i just came over here to get more brisket...

i’m super grateful to folks whenever they ask if i’m okay, etc. but i was super not expecting to talk about All My Health Issues yesterday

it was also 90 degrees and 100000% humidity yesterday and it was an outdoor wedding and there were SO MANY BEES

my speech was well-received though, and i didn’t melt/die, so there’s that

i got very emotional more than once and today talking about it with KP i just started crying

sigh. emotions. can i blame this on the lack of hormones?

my friend mollie is who got married yesterday and i was in the wedding party. her mom passed away from brain cancer in 2016.

her mom was a mom to me when i didn’t have one

like treated me with nothing but kindness and unconditional love

so yesterday was a happy day, but also bittersweet

today was odd though just with all the things

ENT follow up appointment went well, stuff seems to be healing fine

next follow up is in two weeks and my job is to rinse my sinuses 3 times a day and be nice to my nose

i surprised my sister and took her out to IKEA, then she treated to lunch

we figured out a new floor plan for my living room

i returned the rental car i had to get for the wedding (stressful!)

then had therapy, which was... weird

i’m just tired of my therapist and my dad telling me to think positive and eat clean because that will cure my body of its illnesses and tumors

hmm that’s a hard no from me, pals

later tonight, i went to KPs and just vented about my tumors

and how i know that even if we get the best outcome, my liver is never going to be conventionally healthy ever again and that having 20 tumors on it is not a good thing

i’m not being negative, i’m being realistic

and eating a salad every day is not going to magically make my tumors disappear. my dad and my therapist have never seen the CT scans of my liver. it’s like looking at the surface of the moon and all the dark spots are tumors.

so it’s just been a weird day. thinking about all the women i have lost to cancer and how here i am, waiting to see if/when these tumors turn

because i’m not stupid, not putting my head in the sand about the three largest tumors and the facts

idk i’m just... tired

i want to try and take an online creative writing class just to have something to commit to in addition to work

something i’m good at/interested in that wouldn’t be too difficult and can be done online

but there aren’t any online classes through my community college

and i don’t want to pay more than $200 for a class like that since it’s for my own interest, not credit towards something

“river water, wash me clean. send away my worries, please.”

spotify switched to River Water by the spencer lee band

that’s another jensen song i haven’t figured out which fic will get

okay time for bed

let’s have a good week

thank you for being here <3

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Or my version of it. First of all let me say that I recognize that it is a privilege and an honor to be treated at one of the best hospitals in the world. And things are supposed to go wrong so that I have the opportunity to face life with grace and a sense of humor. And secondly I want you to know that this story will have a happy ending. It was probably about 90 and moderately humid in downtown Boston yesterday. I was told my first two tests would be in the Shapiro Building. There are three Shapiro buildings in Boston. My brother had to make a conference call and dropped me off. After walking around the area schlepping my bag with my binder, book, lunch I found the correct building. I had to drink 40 oz of freezing cold water for my first test and of course I left my fleece in the car. I had to ask for warm blankets because my teeth were chattering and I was shivering. People were moving away from me in the waiting room because I am sure they thought I had some communicable disease. After the CT scan and echocardiogram I walked across to the Dana Farber for my four o'clock appointment with the oncologist which happened at 5:15. It was a very good meeting and indications are that I will be accepted into the clinical trial my original oncologist and I are hoping for. Then it was an EKG and big blood draw and I was done after 6 hours. Got a call from the nurse today that due to a computer glitch on their end I have to have the blood redrawn tomorrow. Locally, thank goodness. If all goes well I will know what my treatment will be next week and begin the following. Thank you for all the prayers, support and interest. And so I get to practice patience, grace and humor. And if I drink water I can go out and sprinkle the lawn.

Dehumidifier of CT Scan machine in hospital. #Dehumidifier #humidity #MRI #healthcare https://www.dehumidifier.ae/mini-commercial-industrial-dehumidifier-in-dubai-uae

CT Scan machine room installed with super costly CT scan machine. High humidity in this room can damage this machine. Dehumidifier can help to reduce humidity. CT Scan machine consists of electronic boards. In case of high humidity in room, condensation might happen on these PCB boards and machine can get damage. Hence low humidity environment is strictly recommend for CT scan room.

Yesterday we done site study of CT scan room at one of hospital in Jumeirah, Dubai on request of hospital management. We recommended, supply and installed our CDM-50L industrial dehumidifier and achieved target humidity level. Overwhelmed by compliment from our Client.

How Death Frenchkissed Me

Trigger Warning: blood, needles, near death expierience, fainting Alrighty so this all happened during 2015, before my senior year of high school. My period was EXTREMELY irregular, as in 3 months no flow, then a whole month of non-stop visit. A rather simple solution was to get onto birth control pills because of the side effect of regularity. My mom had no problems with it so I was in the clear. I get on the pill and have a great time. Regular cycle, weight loss, clearer skin, just felt happy and healthy. Fast forward about 6 months. Im outside cleaning my rabbit cages and get out of breath frequently and have to go inside to the air conditioner like every 5 minutes. A 20 minute job turned into an hour and a half. (Mind you, I live in Texas and heat + humidity is no joke). Don't think much of it, probably just an off day. A week later we go on a 2 week trip to the beach that had been planned for a while. Everything is fine and dandy until I start having bad symptoms. Out of breathe, can't take deep breathes without pain, pain in back and butt/thigh area, almost passing out from lack of oxygen, sleeping/laying down a lot, heart rate 160 while resting, blood pressure at 200/140, etc. Can't even walk up 10 tiny steps without almost blacking out. At this point some of you may already know what's going on, I did not. I was terrified. Anyway, I get through the trip without passing out or anything. The symptoms have faded and im not to worried about it anymore. Fast forward a week. We are watching the new King Tut series starring Avan Jogia when I start feeling a pain that felt like my sciatic nerve. Over an hour I can FEEL the pain growing and elongating down my butt and up. We have a long running history in our family of such problems so we gloss over it and I get some pain pills we have lying around. Over the next few days the pain actively gets worse and worse. It's to the point where I don't even want to walk. Finally I decide it's time to go to the doctor and see what the hell is going on with my nerve; at this point it should have subsided. The next day My mom and I walk into the clinic. Actually, it's more like she walked and I hobbled while leaning on her. I couldnt walk whatsoever. I was wearing short shorts and a t shirt, but I was sweating profusely. My shirt and hair were soaked with sweat. By the time they take my vitals I am pretty much bawling at the pain. We sit in the room waiting for the Dr when I feel the sensation of my leg going cold. I look down, and lo and behold, My leg is purple. I stand up and sit down trying to see what happens. When I'm up, color returns, when I sit, purple. The Dr walks in and IMMEDIATELY knows somethings up. I show her my leg, tell her all the symptoms I've had over the past month or two. She asks me to sit on the table so she can check out my leg. They both had to support me over to it. As soon as I finally get up, I feel like things are getting milky in my head. Tunnel vision/red and black dots, cotton in my ears, and I feel my equilibrium thrown off. As im falling to the side, I say "Im going to faint". Things get hazy after that but the Dr lays me down and I come back to my senses slightly. She calls the hospital and talks to a specialist. The other Dr says I need to get to the hospital ER immediately. Everyone at this point knows what's going on accept for me. My mom calls a family friend and we get driven to the ER. We are met at the door and get vitals rechecked, everything. Also I should mention that my heart rate was ridiculously high as well as my blood pressure. We wait until the Dr comes in and let's us know what will be happening. I have to get an ultrasound of my leg. If youve never had an ultrasound, they put a lot of pressure on wherever they are checking to see what's going on. It was excruciating how hard she would press on my leg, and when I would think she was done, she wasnt. Finally I'm let out and we are waiting for results. I get IVs in my arm for fluids and what not since they figured I would have a longer stay. In the end, it turns out that I had a 15 inch long blood clot in my abdominal and femoral artery. A DVT. They rush me to get checked in and to see specialists and bla bla...this is ridiculously long already so I'm gonna condense the rest. I am placed into the ICU and am pumped full of blood thinners, such as TPA and heparin. At the same time. They get me onto the table and go into my leg to scrape out the blood clot as much as possible. They take me out and within a time frame of 4 hours after the "surgery" I had no thinners in my system. No-one believed me when I told them I was still in pain until I told my mom that I would rather be dead. Finally they did another ultrasound, and lucky me, I had a NEW clot. 18 inches long this time. The Drs were baffled. My family was in tears. I was crying. They stuck me back in that table and went back to work. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. I had CT scans, ultrasounds, xrays, needles upon needles upon needles stuck into me. I had a quarter size clot in my lung, as well as some others. To get to the lung, the clot had to pass through my heart. I was black and purple and blue up and down my arms. I lost 20 lbs while laying down basically 24/7 cuz I was not eating. I saw people come and go, was passed nurse to nurse and had 10 doctors checking on me. Later on I found out that my dad's side of the family have a blood clotting factor called Prothrombin Factor 2, which was a large contributing factor that mixed with the pills to cause the clot. People in the rooms beside me were dying. I was sure I would be the next. But thanks to my being young, and the doctors and nurses and their medicines, I was able to go to My first day of senior year, while till learning how to walk and have mobility in my leg again. The fact that I am alive and without any problems other than feeling when the weather or pressure change is incredible. Honestly, it is a miracle. I could go on and on with this story but then it would be redundant and ridiculously long. But, The one good thing that came out of it is my period is now regular 😌.

Chillers and Radiology: Any Connection?

Radiology is a crucial diagnostic and treatment tool for the medical field. There is a wide range of diagnostic imaging techniques. Each requires specialized technology. Today, the radiology field has expanded beyond basic X-rays to include CT imaging, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, and a variety of other techniques. These machines require special computerized technologies, including cameras, sensors, fluorescent screens, and magnetic fields to provide a minimally-invasive diagnostic procedure. But they also need chillers that can meet the demands of cyclical heating and cooling during scanning procedures.

Medical Chillers

High-tech imaging equipment used for MRIs, PET scans, and CT imaging requires a tremendous amount of energy. They produce a large amount of heat. First, there is a quick surge of power, followed by the rapid dissipation of energy. These applications require medical chillers, which contain a specific type of controller to stabilize the cooling water’s temperatures. These chillers must operate in an energy-efficient way but must also detect and respond quickly to temperature changes. Medical imaging manufacturers work with specialized manufacturers who have developed the type of chillers that can meet the demands of this high-tech machinery.

MRI Chillers

MRIs were developed around 47 years ago, and since that time, over a billion have been performed. Around 5,000 MRI machines are sold worldwide each year, according to Magnetic Resonance.org. An MRI chiller manufacturer must keep pace with the latest design and constant technological changes in the diagnostic imaging field. MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves to create a sort of blueprint of the human body. Most MRIs use strong, superconductor magnets to produce these magnetic fields. The magnets build up a large amount of heat during the imaging process, and if left unchecked, the heat hinders both the efficiency and operation of the machine. An MRI scanner chiller keeps these magnets cool, allowing the machine to operate efficiently and accurately.

Why Medical Chillers Are Important

Medical facilities and their personnel rely on radiology departments to provide accurate imaging results. Although the accuracy of the equipment is based on the machine’s imaging technology, the imaging machine’s components must also be maintained and protected. Loss control and equipment damage prevention is a major cost factor in healthcare settings. Heat can quickly damage radiology equipment’s highly sensitive components. Because a facility’s imaging technology can cost millions of dollars, proper crucial for them to ensure the machines are operating properly. Medical chillers, including CT and MRI chillers, are aligned with the unique specifications of the machine. They measure water temperature and water pressure results throughout the imaging process.

Advantages of Properly Cooled Imaging Machines

Downtimes for imaging equipment are not only costly, but a damaged or inoperative MRI or CAT scan machine can also interfere with a healthcare team’s ability to diagnose a patient properly. Although most imaging problems are relatively simple for machines that have received ongoing maintenance, an improperly cooled machine can experience major damages. The temperature and humidity levels of the room are important, as are the machines’ internal components. An MRI’s uptime is dependent on the reliability of its cooling system. Energy efficiency is important.

If you’re seeking a reliable CT or MRI machine chiller, you should also expect round-the-clock service, 365 days per year, from the MRI chiller manufacturer. For questions about specific requirements for your imaging technology or MRI chiller, call today and set up a consultation with a member of our knowledgeable and experienced staff.

How to Get Relief From Sinus

Most people have undergone sinus pain and pressure at some point in their lives and most recover without the prescribed medications. But you can find a range of natural nasal pain treatments that may offer relief, even whether your symptoms are due to the common cold, allergies, or a sinus infection (sinusitis).

The sinuses are hollow pockets over the bones surrounding the nose. They produce mucus, which drains to the nose. If your nose is bloated as a result of inflammation, it can obstruct the sinuses and cause congestion, pain, post-nasal drip, a cough, and tooth or face pain. Sinusitis can be acute, lasting around a month, usually after a cold, or it may be chronic, lasting for weeks or years with or without symptoms. Allergies, nasal problems, and certain ailments, for example cystic fibrosis, may also cause acute and chronic sinusitis, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Try out these 10 Natural Treatments for sinus pain relief to help break the sinus pain cycle:

Flush your nasal passages. "There's a good deal of debate about which sinus pain remedies work and what's been demonstrated, but saline spray and clogs such as the neti pot are indisputable," says Spencer C. Payne, MD, an associate professor of otolaryngology -- head and neck surgery at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. A saline scrub protects mucus and also helps flush it out of their nasal passages. "Saline washes have been studied and proven to be effective, and ought to be the very first line of defense against eucalyptus," Dr. Payne says. For those who have sinus problems, Payne recommends daily use of a saline solution via the neti pot or alternative device to preserve the sinuses moist, and also to double up when you're fighting a cold or allergies. Take to bromelain. Sold as a supplement, bromelain is a protein found in pineapple stalks. For decades, it is often utilized by decoration fighters to reduce swelling. "Bromelain appears to be beneficial also helps reduce swelling in the nasal passages," says Robert Graham, MD, MPH, an internist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and assistant professor at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine. Just make sure you speak with your doctor first, as bromelain may possibly connect to other medications you're taking. And make certain to check out exact dosing instructions.

Take a steam: Hot water vapor may help rehydrate the sinuses. "Sprinkle a few drops of eucalyptus or menthol from the steam and shower your toilet up," Dr. Graham suggests. "A hot, steamy shower or bath can also help loosen mucus and debris that's stuck inside your nose," says Sam S. Rizk, MD, also a nyc City-based ear, nose, and throat physician and facial plastic surgeon. Consume up. Staying hydrated helps your body in various ways, including maintaining your sinuses moist. Drink water throughout the day, and be sure you stay away of alcoholic or carbonated drinks, which can lead to dehydration, '' Graham says. Although recommended fluid intake is different from one individual to another, a simple guideline is to drink a minimum of eight 8-ounce glasses a day. How will you tell if you're getting enough fluids? "If the color of your pee is clear, you're hydrated," Graham says. Spice it up. Spicy foods like mustard, hot sausage, peppers, horseradish, and wasabi can help alleviate sinuses, Graham states. If you like spice, consider adding some "hot" spices into your meals to start your nasal passages. Allergy-proof your House. Allergies can make sinus pain worse. The latest guidelines from the American Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery involve controlling the home environment by getting rid of dust mites, installing an air filter procedure, using bedding together with allergen-barriers, also keeping out any pets from this bedroom to help suppress nasal allergies. Use a humidifier. A humidifier may continue to keep the air moist, but be sure to keep it clean, particularly if you've got mold allergies, says Satish Govindaraj, MD, an associate professor of otolaryngology and Neuro Surgery in Mount Sinai Hospital in nyc. A filthy detergent can breed mold. And you should just use a humidifier during winter months, not if it is humid. Moreover, keep an eye on the humidity level within the room, '' Payne adds. "Thirty-five to 50 per cent humidity is ideal," he says. "In case you get started fogging the windows, the humidity level is too large" Apply warm compresses: "You can use a hot compress to help to keep the nasal tissues moist," Dr. Rizk states. "Or fill a bowl or pot together with steaming water and place that person it using a towel around your face to inhale the steam" Just take care not to burn yourself. You could even follow up the hot compress with a cold compress, which can help relieve sinus pain. Don't request antibiotics straight away. Applying antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance and the evolution of super bugs, plus they might not succeed in treating most cases of hepatitis. "Less than two per cent of these infections are bacterial," Payne says. "nearly all are viral and should really be treated without antibiotics" Alleged "watchful waiting" can be indicated, the American Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery tips state. Your doctor might recommend a wake-up waiting interval without antibiotics to find out if you get better in your own. In actuality, based on a study published in JAMA at 2012, for acute cases of influenza, and antibiotics failed to lessen symptoms at 3 times of treatment and just given small benefits daily seven. Standard of living improved across the 10-day treatment in patients receiving both placebo and also the anti biotic. Know if to visit the doctor. "When the sinus pain does not improve with over the counter assistance, your physician can perform a CT scan of the nose and sinuses to look for anatomical blockages that may be treated surgically, such as a deviated nasal septum or nasal polyps," Rizk says. If sinus pain lasts for a week or even longer and you have a fever, then you should visit a ear, nose and throat doctor, because you will need more aggressive treatment than natural treatments provide.
