Pawtucket, Rhode Island (PRWEB) September 03, 2014
Accessing Rhode Island Medical Imagings (RIMI) state-of-the-art imaging services will be more convenient than ever for residents of northern Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Rhode Island Medical Imagings third 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system will be installed in the Blackstone Valley Medical Building at 333 School Street in Pawtucket on September 4, 2014.
The 3T MRI system, which has been available at RIMIs East Greenwich and East Providence locations since the spring of 2011 and fall of 2013 respectively, captures images of the highest possible resolution and has features that provide additional patient comfort. These features, which are especially beneficial to patients who might experience anxiety during an MRI examination, include:
In addition to being the first and only Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence in Rhode Island, RIMI is the only medical imaging provider to offer the benefits of 3T imaging with the convenience of an out-patient setting in the Ocean State. Bringing 3T MRI technology to the Pawtucket office provides patients in northern Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts with a more convenient option when requiring an MRI examination.
The T in 3T stands for Tesla, which is the unit of measurement representing the strength of a magnetic field. A 3T MRI scanner has two times the strength of a 1.5T scanner and 10 to 15 times the strength of an open MRI machine.
RIMI radiologists hold faculty positions at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and subspecialize in all areas of medical imaging, including womens imaging; bone, joint and muscle imaging; neurology; cardiology; and pediatrics. Furthermore, RIMI radiologists are on staff at Rhode Island Hospital, Women & Infants, Hasbro Childrens Hospital and The Miriam Hospital.

Rhode Island Medical Imaging Installs Its Third 3T MR Scanner at Pawtucket Site
An Eastern Shore teacher was put on leave and taken for medical evaluation after authorities grew concerned about his writings including a novel about a school shooting and a letter with "suicidal undertones" and a model he constructed at his home of a school building.
But with authorities initially supplying few details, the case of 24-year-old Patrick Wayne McLaw blew up online. Commentators from across the political spectrum worried that his rights were being trampled by an overreaching government that was policing the teacher's thoughts rather than his actions.
Mike A. Lewis, sheriff of Wicomico County, where McLaw lives with his mother, said the teacher's writings which include two self-published novels and a four-page letter he allegedly sent last month to a school official in Dorchester along with the model in his backyard, raised legitimate fears.
McLaw was put on leave with pay from his job as a language arts teacher at Mace's Lane Middle School in Cambridge before the school year began last week, Dorchester County school officials said.
McLaw has not been charged with any crime. Attorney David Moore told The Los Angeles Times that his client is "receiving treatment."
When McLaw was taken for a medical evaluation last month at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, local news organizations noted the two novels he published under the pen name "Dr. K.S. Voltaer."
One, set in 2902, details a massacre at Ocean Park High School, claiming the lives of 947 individuals "the largest school massacre in the nation's history," according to its description on Amazon.com.
McLaw's mother, Kay White, declined to discuss the allegations against him. But she said the school model, so large that McLaw erected a building in their backyard to house it, was just something he enjoyed making.
McLaw's attorney could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Wicomico County State's Attorney Matthew A. Maciarello said the news media has mischaracterized the case as McLaw's being persecuted for writing fiction.

A dispute with Johns Hopkins University in the United States, ostensibly over frequent late payments, has led to a termination of the American institutions partnership with Perdana University Graduate School of Medicine in Malaysia, both sides have confirmed.
Although the two sides are still disputing how much money is owed, Perdana in Malaysia has said it is intending to announce a collaboration with another leading top tier US university in due course, after an agreement was apparently signed on 11 August.
According to a separate statement from Johns Hopkins Medicine International, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine provided advisory and consulting services to Academic Medical Centre, or AMC which owns Perdana to help develop Malaysias first private teaching hospital and private medical school offering a US-style curriculum.
Lindsay Roylance Rothstein, Johns Hopkins director of marketing and communications, said in the statement by email to University World News that these services were delivered from November 2010 to July 2014, providing guidance and advice to the Perdana University Graduate School of Medicine, or PUGSOM, and assisting in teaching and in the initiation of the school.
However, we reached the difficult decision to end the existing relationship and agreement with AMC and we sent official notice of that decision to AMC on March 17, 2014.
We took this action because payments required under the agreement for the services provided by Johns Hopkins and its faculty were frequently received late and at the time the agreement was terminated, Johns Hopkins had not been paid for more than 12 months of work.
But there appears to be disagreement over the arrears.
Perdana, in its own statement released last Monday 18 August, said AMC had paid US$34.199 million to Johns Hopkins on behalf of Perdana.
It said US$5m was paid towards the Swami Institute for International Medical Education established at Johns Hopkins University, and a further US$29.199 million as part of the affiliation and collaboration agreement.
The last payment made to Johns Hopkins was US$2 million on 7 May 2014, Perdana said in its statement, adding: AMC and Johns Hopkins are in dispute over whether any further sums are payable and the failure of Johns Hopkins to address the many grievances of AMC and Perdana University.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 02, 2014
The family of a 12-year old girl who died allegedly because her school had no nurse and did not take her to the hospital, has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. 14-5046, seeking compensation for her death. The suit names as Defendants the City of Philadelphia, the School District of Philadelphia, W.C. Bryant Promise Academy, the schools Principal and a teacher.
Laporshia Massey, a sixth grade student at Bryant, allegedly had a known, pre-existing medical condition, asthma. This condition required her to use medication at times to control her symptoms. According to court documents, on September 25, 2013, while at school, Massey began to have trouble breathing, exhibiting signs of an asthma attack.
On the date of the incident, the elementary school did not have a nurse on duty. The complaint states, The absence of a nurse from the school on that date was the result of policy decisions by Defendants. According to the complaint, Students, including Decedent Laporshia Massey, were not permitted to possess and or use prescribed medication at the school without the supervision of a nurse.
Laporshia allegedly informed her teacher of difficulty breathing, to which the teacher responded, be calm, noting that there was no nurse on duty. Defendants kept the student at school despite her worsening condition and visible distress. The complaint alleges Defendants neglected to contact emergency medical services at any time.
It is maintained that, upon arriving home, Massey was rushed to the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia by her father. Medical records indicate she suffered respiratory arrest en route to the hospital. Hospital staff were unable to revive the child. The official cause of death was determined to be acute exacerbation of asthma.
Plaintiff alleges that defendants acted with deliberate indifference to medical needs, including not rendering medical assistance to the Decedent, not having any qualified staff present at Bryant to render necessary medical care, and not calling an ambulance or taking Laporshia to the hospital.
The family seeks compensatory and punitive damages from each defendant, namely the School District of Philadelphia, for their negligence and wrongful conduct resulting in the decedents severe suffering and untimely death.
The Plaintiffs are represented by the Marrone Law Firm, LLC in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

MIDDLETOWN It was a mix of accomplishment and new beginnings Sunday as Orange County celebrated the opening of a new medical school, and the 135 brand-new medical students took their oath and donned their white coats.
It was a packed house at the Paramount Theatre as local officials joined those from the Middletown branch of the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine to cut the official ribbon, turning the former Horton Hospital into a medical school.
Officials including Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus and Middletown Mayor Joe DeStefano welcomed the school, talking about the long-term benefits to the community and the boost to medical education and health care services it brings.
Classes started July 30.
"We are so proud to have you here," Neuhaus said. "You have the whole world in your hands."
DeStefano recalled how the city had been faced with the prospect of an empty 400,000-square-foot building, after the Horton campus of Orange Regional Medical Center closed when Orange Regional moved to a new home in the Town of Wallkill.

NEW HAVEN David Bradley, a Freshman at NCOE High School of Norris City has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C. on November 14, 15 and 16.
The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.
David was nominated by Dr. Connie Mariano, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Illinois based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.
During the three-day Congress, David will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research;be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what is to expect in medical school;witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.
This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially, said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. Focused, bright and determined students like David Bradley are our future and he deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give him.
The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy plans to launch in 2014 and 2015 are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.
The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.

Medical schools hoping to find doctors who'll practice in minority and underserved communities may want to start grooming students in community colleges, a new studyout of UCLA indicates.
The study says that minorities who attended community colleges before heading to medical school are more likely to commit to working for underserved populations, the study says. One description called the findings as, "... a rich source of physicians for poor communities."
The findings came from a 2012 Matriculating Student Questionnaire by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The researchers wanted to see which medical school applicants might be more readily swayed to practice in minority and underserved communities.
The study appears in the journal, Academic Medicine. It says: Of the 40,491 medical school applicants and 4,920 (28 percent) attended a community college either during high school, after high school, or following graduation from a four-year university in order take courses in preparation for medical school.
A higher proportion of minority med school applicants attended community colleges compared with whites:
Latinos were the largest group at 34 percent, (538 of 1,566).
African Americans, 28 percent (311 of 1,109).
Whites, 27 percent (2,715 of 9,905).
Asians, 27 percent (963 of 3,628).
Others, 30 percent (393 of 1,310).

SALISBURY, N.C. A Novant Health Inc. hospital in Salisbury will serve as a training facility for osteopathic medical students at Campbell University, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
Campbells partnership with Rowan Medical Center, announced last week, will include training in primary care, family medicine, general surgery, obstetrician/gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry and other services. The emphasis is meeting the needs of underserved communities.
The medical school launched its first class of 162 medical students in August 2013. The rotation program at Rowan is scheduled to begin in June with 22 third-year students. It is projected to expand to 44 third- and fourth-year students.
Rowan physicians participating in the program will become faculty of Campbells medical school.
This relationship will be beneficial for our medical center and community in a number of ways, from enhancing our ability to recruit future doctors to boosting the local economy, Dr. Dari Caldwell, president of Rowan Medical, said in a statement.
Mike Horn, a consultant speaking for Novant, said Campbell approached Novant and Rowan to gauge their interest in accepting its medical students. The university is committed to placing its students in a rural hospital.
Horn said Dr. John Kauffman, dean of the medical school, and its board chose to establish relationships with community hospitals for its students rather than take on the expense of creating and maintaining the states fifth academic medical center.
Campbell University is proud to partner with Rowan to train the next generation of primary care and general specialists for North Carolina, Kauffman said in a statement.
The Rowan hospital already has a pharmacist training agreement with Campbell, along with Forsyth and Kernersville medical centers.
Campbell said one of its missions is addressing the increasing shortage of physicians in rural communities.

LAS VEGAS-- UNLV announced that it is moving forward with its plans for a new medical school. University regents, which are UNLV's governing board, just approved the $27 million budget for the new facility.
"The medical school is a vehicle to bring a higher quality of life to all Nevadans and I think it's an economic driver for the entire state, Dan Klaich, Chancellor of Nevada System of Higher Education said.
Regents haven't determined a location just yet, but they said the schools first class will start in just a few years-- 2017. Educators hope by building a new UNLV med school, it will help address the serious doctor shortage throughout the valley.
We'll be recruiting faculty and that's probably the first thing that's going to help increase the number of specialists. We'll need about a 120 faculty in the next two years, Barbara Atkinson, Planning Dean of UNLV School of Medicine said.
While it's difficult to get an appointment with a general practitioner, Atkinson said it's equally hard to get an appointment with a specialist. This issue has left thousands of valley patients having to seek medical care out of state.
Atkinson said the medical school will draw in several dozen specialists who can help patients alongside their teaching responsibilities.
"We're hoping that they'll set up practices and they'll be seeing patients immediately, she said.
UNLV President Don Snyder said the new medical school will partner with University Medical Center (UMC) and Veterans Affairs to continue new doctors' training after graduation.
It will help us keep doctors here and we need that, Don Snyder, UNLV President said.
