The Long Island Research Institute was set up in 1992 to create and nurture enterprises based on technologies derived from its sponsoring institutions: the University at Stony Brook, Brookhaven and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, and North Shore University Hospital. An account of the organization's conception is followed by descriptions of its comprehensive approach to technology commercialization in three projects: a gene-finding methodology, an organ preservation device, and a wastewater treatment system. These experiences suggest that success for such an organization requires managers combining technical and business expertise, extensive contacts with local business and research communities, variable and ongoing company assistance, access to venture capital, knowledge of company needs, an entrepreneurial champion for each project, and, fundamentally, public and institutional funding.

Gastro Intestinal Tract

In the last few years various departments of the University Hospital “A. Gemelli” have been engaged in dealing with disasters of different kinds: the earthquakes of Belice, Friuli and Irpinia, the fire of the Todi antique exhibition, and various terrorist attacks. In these events the organization of the care of the survivors took the following four aspects into account: 1) Type and kind of lesions related to the nature of the event. 2) Criteria and collection areas of the injured, casualty clearing and treatments. 3) Distance of the disaster from the treatment center. 4) New structures to be set up for improving efficiency in the future.1) The most frequent clinical problems encountered burns and crushing injuries, and those affecting the musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neuro-muscular systems. In a second phase, together with the possible lack of water, food, clothing, shelter and toilet facilities, infectious diseases of the respiratory and gastro-intestinal tract appear, particularly in old people and children. The treatment of the injured in the emergency phase requires a series of interventions at a very high technological level. In the subsequent phase, which may last for months, the treatment needed comes under normal preventive and clinical care.2) In the emergency period, which in our experience does not generally last longer than ten days, the medical and surgical departments of our hospital mostly concerned were the intensive care units (18 beds), the orthopedics and traumatology sections (122 beds), the surgical wards (309 beds), the transfusion center and the hemodialysis service.

This chapter describes the marriage of two prodigies and how it represented a fruitful alliance of complementary research personalities: the brilliant theoretician and the skillful experimenter. Esther Zimmer and Joshua Lederberg were two of the youngest scientists to attend the 1946 summer symposium at Cold Spring Harbor. Edward Tatum arranged for his protégé, young Lederberg, to present his stupendous discovery of bacterial conjugation, showing that bacteria could mate and recombine their genes. Zimmer and Lederberg began a short romance and married five months later. The young couple moved near the campus of Yale University, where Joshua wrote up his thesis and Esther researched Neurospora genetics with Norman Giles. The following summer, Tatum negotiated with Yale to grant an accelerated PhD to Joshua. The University of Wisconsin offered him an assistant professorship, and Joshua and Esther moved to Madison in 1947. There they established the first research program in bacterial genetics.

The academic department of psychiatry at Maastricht University is situated not only in the university hospital, but crucially also in nearly all the affiliated mental health institutions in a region with a source population of 650 000. This set-up is funded by a central government grant, allowing academic personnel to work in affiliated mental health institutions. Research projects are carried out on the basis of 4-year PhD contracts, or, in the case of doctors with specialist training, through research psychiatrist appointments in the regional academic psychiatric network. Strong links exist with the Institute of Psychiatry in London.

The study of the nonconformities (NC) literatures in medical biology report that between 60-85% of laboratory errors are produced during the pre-analytical phase, which are often external and escapes the biologist's control. The objective of our study was to identify the factors at the origin of non-conformities during this phase at the University Hospital of Rabat. A mixed analytical descriptive study realized between August 2019 and August 2020 based on a non-compliance form, a self-questionnaire, an observation grid, focus groups and semi-structured interviews. We also set up the Deming wheel PDCA as well as the work tools (BRAINSTORMIN, 5M, ISHIKAWA). Our results show that 22 % of the prescriptions of biologic tests are drafted by nurses and not doctors this in the absence of an updated list of biological exams. The samples are taken at 88,1% by unqualified personnel and 95 % without any guide or manual.  For the traceability aspect, the name of the sampler is never placed on the sheet of examination, age, sex of the patient; time and nature of the sample are often not mentioned in the label vials of samples.  Transportation is made by pneumatic cylinder system and sometimes by unqualified staff in absence of procedures for packaging and transportation equipment without traceability. The reception of samples is carried out by untrained staff on the error management of the pre-analytical phase. They result at first from a major defect of coordination between the laboratory and the services, then by the lack of continuing education and the weak competence of the staff involved in this process and finally compounded by the lack of manual sampling, procedures for packaging, transport, reception and triage.
