MRI Finds Dementia Before Symptoms Develop in Those With Hypertension

A number of studies have shown a link between dementia and high blood pressure (hypertension) – a chronic condition that causes progressive organ damage if uncontrolled. Now, new research suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may be able to detect early signs of neurological damage in people with high blood pressure before dementia symptoms develop. These findings are significant because it’s often too late to reverse progression of the disease if dementia treatment isn’t started until after cognitive symptoms develop

For the new study, researchers recruited people ages 40 to 65 from the Regional Excellence Hypertension Center of the Italian Society of Hypertension. Study participants, who had no prior signs of neurological impairment and no diagnoses of dementia, underwent MRI scans to identify structural brain damage and clinical examinations to evaluate blood pressure and overall health.

According to the researchers, study participants with high blood pressure showed significant changes in three specific areas of brain white matter and scored significantly worse on cognitive tests associated with these areas, including memory and learning. This damage was undetectable with standard neuroimaging.

One Brand of Opioid Overdose Antidote Naloxone Is Recalled

Hospira, a Pfizer company is voluntarily recalling two lots of naloxone hydrochloride injection, USP – an antidote for opioid overdose – because of the possible presence of particulate matter on the syringe plunger.
The contaminated doses were sent to wholesalers, distributors, and hospitals in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Guam between February 2017 and February 2018. The manufacturer is asking suppliers to discontinue using and distributing the recalled products and notify anyone who may have received them, including stores, pharmacies, and hospitals. The FDA has not received any reports of patient harm due to the possible contamination.
Naloxone can quickly restore normal respiration to someone whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to an opioid overdose. The drug used to be carried only by hospitals, but, in response to the opioid abuse epidemic, many first responders, medical professionals, and family members now keep the drug on hand for emergencies. Naloxone is available without a prescription in some areas of the country.

2E1 to 2 Ethernet Interface Converter

Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Fukuda Battery

2 E1 to 2 Ethernet Interface Converter is also called 2 E1 to 2 Ethernet protocol converter with battery like Fukuda FX-2201 Battery, Fukuda FX-3010 Battery, Fukuda FCP-4610 Battery, Fukuda FCP-2155 Battery, Fukuda 8/HRY-4/3AFD Battery, Fukuda FCP-7102 Battery, Fukuda FX-7100 Battery, Fukuda 8PH-4/3A3700-H-J18 Battery, Fukuda FX-4610 Battery, Fukuda FCP-4010 Battery, Medtronic M240 Battery, Primedic DM30 Battery. The E1 to 4 10/100Base-T serial interface converter used back multiplexing technology, transfer 10M/100M Ethernet data by using multi E1 channels. Realize convert between E1 channel and Ethernet interface. It can transmit signal of E1 channel to RJ48 interface point to point, realize the connection of E1 channel and Ethernet. It is different from normal bridge, supporting E1 channel customized configuration, auto detecting the number of E1 channels and use the available E1, allow some limiting transfer delay between different E1 channels. Single line speed is 1968Kbits/s, 4 channels can up to 7872Kbits/s. It can connect with Ethernet switch or hub when in 10/100Mbps full/half duplex mode, make use of mass E1 resource in telecommunication networks to expend the transfer distance and application field of Ethernet, is a suitable solution for broadband switch in of Ethernet. It can used in fields such as connecting LANs, connecting end offices, VOD, remote monitor, E1 interface of switches, etc.

2 E1 to 2 Ethernet Interface Converter Features:
♦ Realize transparent transfer ethernet data in x to xE1 channels.
♦ 10/100M Ethernet, full/half duplex self adapt, support VLAN.
♦ Ethernet support AUTO-MDIX( cross over and straight through self adapt) setting CRC alarm limitation to auto isolate lines with low transfer quality, single direction.
When one direction error rate over limitation, disconnect only one direction, the other is not affected. Unbalance in two directions.
♦ Allow xE1 channels up to 10ms transfer delay. When the delay over the limitation, can stop transfer automatically.
♦ Having 2 loop back functions: E1 local loop, E1 external loop.
♦ Support dynamic ethernet MAC address (4096), having local address filter function.
♦ E1 interface compatible with ITU-T G.703, and G.823. Signaling slot not supported.
♦ E1 interface having internal clock resume circuit and HDB3 codec circuit.
♦ Support E1 channel hot plug, and auto-detect available E1 channels not pause thetransmission.
♦ Supporting x to xE1 channels customized configuration, auto detect the number of E1 channels and select the available E1 at reset.
♦ Support reset remote system from local system.
♦ Having Ethernet monitor auto reset function.
