Finishing Process

Chitosan has the function of anti-bacterial, and it can produce natural green anti-bacterial health-care textiles. However, after the finishing process, the fabrics properties are influenced as well. With the experiments, we study the impaction of chitosan on the fabrics properties. The results indicate: the anti-bacterial performance is good after the finishing process, and the shrinkage has been greatly improved.

Conventional Methods

The conventional textile finishing process used to consume a high amount of water, chemical and energy source which leads to more hazardous waste material and polluting the environment. To replace these conventional methods, working towards sustainable manufacturing is more consideration for the need of an hour. In the field of medical textile, the finishes used for manufacturing the health care apparels should enhance the desired properties that the patient and the health care personals need. For this purpose, the advanced and eco-friendly finishing process has been developed. Thus in this paper, the sustainable and eco-friendly finishing process used in the field of medical textile has been discussed in detail.

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of California held, in Delaney v. Baker, 82 Cal. Rptr. 2d 610 (1999), that the heightened remedies available under the Elder Abuse Act (Act), Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 15657,15657.2 (West 1998), apply to health care providers who engage in reckless neglect of an elder adult. The court interpreted two sections of the Act: (1) section 15657, which provides for enhanced remedies for reckless neglect; and (2) section 15657.2, which limits recovery for actions based on “professional negligence.” The court held that reckless neglect is distinct from professional negligence and therefore the restrictions on remedies against health care providers for professional negligence are inapplicable.Kay Delaney sued Meadowood, a skilled nursing facility (SNF), after a resident, her mother, died. Evidence at trial indicated that Rose Wallien, the decedent, was left lying in her own urine and feces for extended periods of time and had stage I11 and IV pressure sores on her ankles, feet, and buttocks at the time of her death.

In the summer of 1979, a group of experts on law, medicine, and ethics assembled in Siracusa, Sicily, under the auspices of the International Commission of Jurists and the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Science, to draft guidelines on the rights of persons with mental illness. Sitting across the table from me was a quiet, proud man of distinctive intelligence, William J. Curran, Frances Glessner Lee Professor of Legal Medicine at Harvard University. Professor Curran was one of the principal drafters of those guidelines. Many years later in 1991, after several subsequent re-drafts by United Nations (U.N.) Rapporteur Erica-Irene Daes, the text was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly as the Principles for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness and for the Improvement of Mental Health Care. This was the kind of remarkable achievement in the field of law and medicine that Professor Curran repeated throughout his distinguished career.
