Cadaver Skin

Seventeen Canadian adult burn centres were surveyed to determine the pattern of use, cost and availability of nine skin substitutes. An equal number of centres in the United States with comparable bed capacities were approached for comparison. Eighty-eight per cent of the Canadian centres and 76% of the United States centres responded to the questionnaire. Human cadaver skin, pig skin and Biobrane were used by approximately twice as many United States centres as Canadian centres. Cultured epidermal autografts (CEAs) were used by 20% of the Canadian centres and 15% of the American centres. Opsite, Tegaderm and Duoderm were used widely in both countries. Alloderm was used only in the United States, and amnion was not used in either country. The most common use of each substitute varied among centres, however, the pattern of use was comparable between the two countries, with the exception that Biobrane was not used in Canada to cover donor site wounds. In the United States, 60% of cadaver skin and all CEAs were purchased from private companies, whereas use of these two relatively expensive skin substitutes in Canada was restricted to centres with access to hospital-affiliated skin banks or laboratories. With the dependence of Canadian centres on noncommercial sources of biological skin replacements, research development in established skin banks should be encouraged, and regional discrepancies regarding access to these facilities addressed.

Prostate adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of men in the United States and is the third leading cause of death in men. Despite attempts at early detection, there will be 244,000 new cases and 44,000 deaths from the disease in the United States in 1995. Therapeutic progress against this disease is hindered by an incomplete understanding of prostate epithelial cell biology, the availability of human tissues for in vitro experimentation, slow dissemination of information between prostate cancer research teams and the increasing pressure to “ stretch” research dollars at the same time staff reductions are occurring.To meet these challenges, we have used the correlative microscopy (CM) and client/server (C/S) computing to increase productivity while decreasing costs. Critical elements of our program are as follows:1) Establishing the Western Pennsylvania Genitourinary (GU) Tissue Bank which includes >100 prostates from patients with prostate adenocarcinoma as well as >20 normal prostates from transplant organ donors.

Quantitative Image

In recent years it became apparent that we needed to improve productivity and efficiency in the Microscopy Laboratories in GE Plastics. It was realized that digital image acquisition, archiving, processing, analysis, and transmission over a network would be the best way to achieve this goal. Also, the capabilities of quantitative image analysis, image transmission etc. available with this approach would help us to increase our efficiency. Although the advantages of digital image acquisition, processing, archiving, etc. have been described and are being practiced in many SEM, laboratories, they have not been generally applied in microscopy laboratories (TEM, Optical, SEM and others) and impact on increased productivity has not been yet exploited as well.In order to attain our objective we have acquired a SEMICAPS imaging workstation for each of the GE Plastic sites in the United States. We have integrated the workstation with the microscopes and their peripherals as shown in Figure 1.

Communities Of Interest

Every ten years, the United States “constructs” itself politically. On a decennial basis, U.S. Congressional districts are quite literally drawn, physically constructing political representation in the House of Representatives on the basis of where one lives. Why does the United States do it this way? What justifies domicile as the sole criteria of constituency construction? These are the questions raised in this article. Contrary to many contemporary understandings of representation at the founding, I argue that there were no principled reasons for using domicile as the method of organizing for political representation. Even in 1787, the Congressional district was expected to be far too large to map onto existing communities of interest. Instead, territory should be understood as forming a habit of mind for the founders, even while it was necessary to achieve other democratic aims of representative government.
