Symptoms and Early Warning Signs of Stomach Cancer
The early warning signs of stomach cancer in adults differ greatly from one person to the other and these signs may not be there in the initial stages. It is due to this and the extensive capability of the stomach to dock these developments which makes carrying out tumors so tough in the initial stages of the disease.
The common symptom of stomach cancer is indigestion which everyone experiences at some or other point of their lives. With this fact in mind, it is believed that in the present and coming time more and more developments in the detection will be carried out for this disease.
Early Signs of Stomach Cancer
The initial specs of stomach cancer in humans aren't very specific. One of the symptoms is indigestion. But, can you really wonder, how indigestion could be a sign of cancer? You might just be feeling unwell, a little tired or just uneasy feeling. Fatigue is another common issue. Sometimes you may feel unwell without any prior detection, you may be susceptible to find it in the later stage.
With these casual symptoms which anyone can experience in their daily lives, you cannot be tested for cancer. However, if you do experience these symptoms, getting a complete checkup is a must. Unluckily, the initial stage stomach cancer doesn't reveal any symptoms. It is because of this reason that stomach cancer is so difficult to detect in the initial stage. Some of the signs and symptoms of stomach cancer are:
- Weight loss
- Loss in appetite
- Stomach pain
- Imprecise abdominal discomfort, commonly above the navel.
- Feel of fullness even after consuming a small meal
- Indigestion
- Heartburn
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fluid build up
- Swelling
- Low RBC
A large number of these symptoms are usually caused by other diseases rather than cancer, like ulcer or a stomach virus. They may also prevail because of the presence of any other type of virus. People who often experience these symptoms should instantly book an appointment with their doctors to find the reality of the disease.
As stomach cancer isn't usually discovered in the initial stage, only one in five of the stomach cancers are detected in the early stage, before it reaches the other body areas. With the progress of the disease, the warning symptoms get more obvious. But the issue at this stage is that the case gets a little out of control to handle.
Malnutrition could be a reason specially, if the patient faces problems like feeling full, difficulty in swallowing or digesting food. Sometimes bleeding occurs and patients experience black bowel movement.
Abdominal pain could be a real problem; however, there are patients who experience very little pain symptoms. Chest pain often occurs along with blog clotting in the lungs, pathological fracture of the ribs.
See a gastroenterologist to get to know whether all the symptoms exactly reveal the disease or not. It is very important to deeply study the symptoms to diagnose this rarely detectable disease.

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) WARSAW/LONDON/MOSCOW, April 23 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed Bank Ochrony Srodowiska's (BOS) Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB' with a Negative Outlook, its Support Rating (SR) at '2' and Support Rating Floor (SRF) at 'BBB'. The bank's Viability Rating was affirmed at 'bb'. A full list of rating actions is available at the end of this rating action commentary. KEY RATING DRIVERS - IDRS, SR, SRF BOS's Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR), SRF and SR reflects Fitch's view of the high probability of support from the Polish sovereign (A-/Stable) in case of need. This view reflects the state's indirect majority shareholding in the bank, BOS's important role in financing the country's environment protection projects and potential reputational damage for the state should the bank default. At the same time, the IDRs also take into consideration BOS's limited systemic importance, the absence of any direct state participation in the bank's capital, and its rather narrow policy role. The Polish sovereign controls BOS through the state-owned National Fund for Environment Protection and Water Management (the Fund), which had a 56.6% stake in the bank at end-2013. The Fund considers BOS a strategic investment and Fitch notes that it cannot reduce its shareholding in the bank without government approval. RATING SENSITIVITIES - IDRS, SR, SRF The Negative Outlook on BOS's Long-term IDR reflects the likelihood of BOS's SR and SRF being respectively downgraded and revised downwards within the next one to two years. This is based on further progress being made in implementing the legislative and practical aspects of enabling effective bank resolution frameworks, which is likely to reduce implicit sovereign support for banks in the EU. This is likely to occur through national implementation of the provisions of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (see Fitch Revises Outlooks on 18 EU State-sponsored Banks to Negative on Weakening Support, dated 26 March 2014 and Rating Paths for EU State-Sponsored Banks, dated 14 April 2014, all available at www.fitchratings.com). Fitch expects BOS's SRF to be revised down to a high 'BB' level within the next one to two years. The degree of the downward revision of the SRF will most likely determine the extent of the downgrade of BOS's Long-term IDR, given the limited upside potential of the bank's Viability Rating (bb). BOS will benefit from some form of continued state sponsorship considerations that Fitch is likely to continue to factor into its SR and SRF. A downgrade of the Polish sovereign could lead to a similar action on BOS's ratings, although this is unlikely at present given the Stable Outlook on the sovereign. BOS's IDRs could be downgraded if the Fund's stake falls below 50% - which Fitch considers unlikely - or if timely support is not made available to BOS if required. KEY RATING DRIVERS AND SENSITIVITIES - VR BOS's VR of 'bb' is constrained by its weak franchise and considerable single name concentrations in its loan book. The bank's small size and market shares (1.3% of the banking sector's total assets at end-2013) weigh on its margins and translate into low operational efficiency. BOS's profitability is the lowest among rated Polish peers, reflecting the bank's small size, a significant proportion of low-yield loans and fairly high funding costs. In 2013, the brokerage house subsidiary, DOM Maklerski BOS S.A., contributed a material 16.7% to the bank's consolidated net profit. BOS's VR also reflects a moderate share of retail savings in the bank's total deposit base, material reliance on corporate deposits and wholesale debt markets and only adequate capitalisation. Large single name concentrations are mainly within the bank's "green" loan portfolio (23% of total gross loans at end-2013). They are predominantly project finance exposures in renewable energy, in particular wind farm projects. Credit risks related to this form of financing are amplified by regulatory risks as wind farms rely on state subsidies. At end-2013, total loans to wind farm developers accounted for around a quarter of the "green" portfolio or 6% of total gross loans. The bank's overall loan book quality compares well with that of its Polish peers, reflecting a high share of low-risk exposures to the public finance sector (24% of total gross loans at end-2013). At end-2013, its total reported impaired loans ratio (6.7%) was below the sector average (7.3%). The bank takes a conservative approach to impaired loan reporting. It reports all exposures showing evidence of impairment as impaired, whereas the industry standard is to account only for loans with actual impairment identified. Using the industry standard approach, BOS's impaired loans ratio would have been 5.5%. A substantial portion of impaired loans in the corporate book are legacy exposures to the construction/real estate sector but the bank expects to continue to make additional impairment charges against them in 2014 as the loans are being restructured . The bank's retail portfolio quality is likely to continue to weaken, but only gradually, due to the seasoning of housing loans and, to a lesser extent, a higher proportion of unsecured consumer loans. Majority of the bank's funding comes from customer deposits (68%). However, the majority of them (57%) are corporate deposits that tend to be concentrated. Another 16 % of funding comes from domestic and foreign wholesale markets. The largest deposits are not stable, as evidenced by the bank's expectation of around PLN0.5bn deposit withdrawal (or 2.7% of end-2013 total funding) by public finance entities by mid-2014 due to changes in Polish legislation. The bank has informed Fitch that this outflow has been largely mitigated in 1Q14 by new customer deposits. The bond repayment schedule was manageable at end-2013, although BOS faces a substantial maturing eurobond (PLN1bn equivalent, or 6% of total funding) in May 2016. In Fitch's view the bank's efforts to increase the share of retail deposits and refinancing of the eurobonds amid expected weakening of state support may increase the overall cost of funding. BOS's total liquidity buffer partly reflects a need to cover volatile deposits placed by the Polish Power Exchange (PPE). Fitch believes that the likely outflow of these fairly cheap liquidity resources in 2014 will not materially weaken the bank's liquidity position, but will put additional pressure on its margins. BOS's pool of highly liquid assets, adjusted for the deposits from PPE, increased to PLN2.6bn at end-1Q14 from PLN1.8bn at end-2013, driven by active acquisition of customer deposits. It covered around 16% of total liabilities (adjusted). Fitch considers BOS's capitalisation only adequate in view of its substantial unreserved NPLs (equal to 40% of Fitch core capital (FCC) at end-2013) and loan book growth (2013: up 8.2% yoy), while internal capital generation is modest. At end-2013, the FCC ratio weakened to 10.4% (2012: 12.4%), reflecting accelerated loan growth. KEY RATING SENSITIVITIES - VR A further substantial increase of BOS's exposure to pro-ecological project financing, through rising single-name concentrations, could lead to a downgrade of the bank's VR. Also a continued period of loan growth exceeding the bank's internal capital generation and/or any potential significant pressures on the bank's funding costs or liquidity would likely result in a downgrade of the VR. Upside potential for the VR is limited due to BOS's weak franchise and considerable credit risk concentrations. BOS is a small universal bank in Poland with a strong environmental focus. At end-2013, it represented 1.2% and 0.88% of the banking sector total loans and retail deposits, respectively. The bank has built a strong footprint in financing environmentally friendly projects in Poland. BOS has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since 1997.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Prussia, known for its beauty, industry and military power. However, in the medieval era, Prussia was fragmented and inhabited by numerous barbarian tribes, who fought amongst themselves for control of the land. The borders of the barbarian kingdoms, which were established after the fall of the Roman Empire, changed repeatedly. The region that came to be known as Prussia was roughly divided between the territories of Brandenburg-Prussia, West Prussia and East Prussia. The Lubin family emerged in Brandenburg-Prussia, which is essentially the birthplace of modern Germany. By the 19th century, Brandenburg-Prussia had incorporated East Prussia, West Prussia and many other German territories. Moreover, in the late 19th century, it led the German states in the German Unification.
Lubin Early Origins
Prussia, where the name emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region. From the 13th century the surname was identified with the great social and economic evolution which made this territory a landmark contributor to the development of the nation.
Lubin Spelling Variations
Lubin Spelling Variations
In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Lubin include Lubin, Luben, Lubyn, Lubine, Lubke, Lubken, Lubcken, Lubchen and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Since medieval times, the state of Prussia has played an important part in the history of Germany. The state's military powers were historically very strong, and endured until after the Second World War, when the territory was broken up and divided between the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany. A spurt of migration followed, with some Prussians going elsewhere in Europe and many others crossing the ocean to North America. Most entered the United States through Philadelphia. Some remained there, while more moved on to the states of Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. Others traveled to Canada and settled Ontario and the prairie provinces. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Lubin or a variant listed above: J. Lubinsky, who arrived in Texas with his wife in 1855; Georg Lubcken, who came to Philadelphia in 1734; and George Lubke, who came to Pennsylvania in 1741..

When it comes to the interpretation of exclusion clauses in insurance policies, the recent decision in OZ Minerals Holdings Pty Limited & Ors v AIG Australia Limited [2015] VSC 185, proves that 'timing is everything'.
On 20 June 2008, the companies, later known as OZ Minerals Limited (OZ Minerals) and Oz Minerals Holdings Pty Limited (Holdings), merged pursuant to a scheme of arrangement. In accordance with the terms of the scheme, OZ Minerals acquired the shares in Holdings and the shareholders of Holdings were reissued with shares in OZ Minerals.
On or about February 2014, Mr Mitic commenced proceedings against OZ Minerals, claiming, among other things, that OZ Minerals had breached its continuous disclosure requirements (under section 674 of the Corporations Act) and had made various misrepresentations regarding the merger.
The Policy
As all the wrongful conduct is alleged to have occurred prior to 20 June 2008, OZ Minerals sought contribution from Holdings. Holdings claimed on its Directors & Officers policy with AIG for the period 31 March 2008 to 31 March 2009 (Policy).
AIG denied cover on the basis of the alleged operation of a Major Shareholder & Board Position exclusion which provided:
"The Insurer shall not be liable to make any payment under this policy in connection with any Claim brought by any past or present shareholder or stockholder who had or has:
(i) Direct or indirect ownership of or control over 15% [or] more of the voting shares or rights of the Company or of any Subsidiary; and
(ii) A representative individual or individuals holding a board position(s) with the Company"
As the exclusion used both past and present tense wording, the main issue was whether the clause operated by reference to the corporate structure of the insured entities as at:
- the time of the wrongful act/occurrence; or
- the time of the third party claim.
In the event that the exclusion operated by reference to the time of the wrongful act, then the exclusion clause did not apply. In the event that the exclusion applied by reference to the time at which the third party claim was made, then the exclusion clause would be enlivened (as OZ Minerals controlled over 15% of shares in Holdings and held a board position on Holdings).
The parties agreed that it would make no commercial sense to interpret the use of the past tense wording as a general reference to any time in the past without limitation.
Holdings contended that the exclusion required a 'temporal connection with the Wrongful Acts giving rise to the contribution claims' and therefore one must consider (only) the corporate structure of the business at the time of the Wrongful Act. It was submitted that the 'claims made' structure of the Policy was simply a supplementary condition of cover.
AIG argued the use of both part and present tense within the exclusion indicated an objective intention that the exclusion should apply in respect of shareholders who held shares at either the time of the Wrongful Act or the time of the third party claim. On this basis, AIG argued that its interpretation was conducive to giving a 'business like' effect to the Policy in that it was the objective intention of the clause to protect insurers from adverse claims that may arise when a claimant is a board representative and is therefore privy to the company's internal workings or confidential information such as the terms of a policy.
Holdings argued that AIG's interpretation was incongruent with the overall intention of the Policy – being to provide cover for directors and officers of Holdings / OZ Minerals against liability for Wrongful Acts.
The Court favoured AIG's interpretation of the exclusion which it considered was consistent with both the grammatical structure and the commercial intent of the clause and achieved an 'objectively reasonable' outcome. As such, the Court agreed that the exclusion applied to exclude claims brought by persons with the relevant shareholding or board positions at either the time of the Wrongful Act and at the time of the third party claim.
As OZ Minerals was a shareholder holding over 15% of the voting shares at the time of the claim, the exclusion applied such that the Policy did not indemnify Holdings in respect of the claim.
What does this mean for you?
This case confirms the current principles in place when interpreting exclusions within an insurance policy, which requires consideration of the objective commercial intention of the policy so as to ensure that a 'business like' interpretation is given to the policy.
The case also highlights the importance for parties drafting exclusions in insurance policies to carefully consider the intended temporal trigger so as to ensure that such trigger is clearly and unambiguously identified.

Alton Towers: The Smiler crash which seriously injured five was caused by HUMAN ERROR
THE horrific crash on the The Smiler rollercoaster at Alton Towers was caused by HUMAN ERROR, the theme park has revealed.
The accident happened when a carriage collided into a stationary carriage
The theme park was forced to close for four days earlier this year after five people were seriously injured when their carriage on The Smiler smashed into a stationary carriage.
A total of sixteen people were injured in the horror incident on June 2.
Leah Washington, 17, from Barnsley, Yorkshire, and Vicky Balch, 20, from Leyland, Lancashire, each had a leg amputated as a result of the crash.
Their boyfriends Joe Pugh, 18, also from Barnsley, and Daniel Thorpe, 28, from Buxton, Derbyshire, also suffered serious leg injuries in the smash.
Smiler victims pictured together for the first time since the crash
But today the theme park announced the conclusion of their investigation into the incident as owner Merlin Entertainments said the ride will reopen next year.
The investigation concluded that the incident was the result of human error
A statement from Merlin Entertainments said: "The investigation concluded that the incident was the result of human error culminating in the manual override of the ride safety control system without the appropriate protocols being followed.
"The investigation also identified areas where protocols and the training of employees should be improved. There were found to be no technical or mechanical problems with the ride itself."
The park owners also said that improved safety measures had been put in place across all multi-car rollercoasters "to ensure that an incident of this nature can never happen again".
Vicky Balch said she wanted the ride to be shut for good
Speaking previously about the possibility of the ride reopening, university student Ms Balch said she wanted it shut for good.
She told Good Morning Britain: "I'd like it to be, but I know that's not realistic because it was a big attraction for the company.
"It's affected literally every aspect of my life - I'm not independent any more at all. I'm slowly getting that back but life is never going to be the same as it used to be.
"I've got all this to deal with for the rest of my life and then they've said this (the reopening) a couple of months after it's happened. It feels like it's not fair."
She added: "I was at university, so I've been there for two years so I've been independent for almost two years. I was doing basically whatever I wanted with my friends, looking after myself, and then now I've had to go home and I can't do many things myself."
Leah Washington and her boyfriend Joe Pugh were also injured in the crash
Three medics who risked their lives helping the victims of the crash were given Pride of Britain awards in September.
As well as forcing the brief closure of the park, the crash led to Merlin Entertainments revealing a sharp drop in revenue across its theme park division as visitors stayed away from the Staffordshire attraction.
In September it was revealed that Alton Towers saw takings tumble by 11.4 per cent during the first nine months of its financial year.
In today's statement the company added: "Alton Towers continues to provide help and support to all of those who were on the ride when the incident happened. It has taken full responsibility for the incident and continues to co-operate with the ongoing Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation.
"We are confident that lessons have been learned and that appropriate action has been taken to address all the issues raised."

I have been selling bits and pieces on ebay.ie since the start of the year and I am amazed at the presence of buyers in Ireland as all of my items except for one has been sold to people from Ireland, the other item was bought by someone in Italy. I just presumed that there was more interest in my stuff from people in Ireland as the postage costs were lower since I am located in Ireland too. However now I am thinking my listing is not listed on ebay.co.uk aswell when I list on ebay.ie,is this correct and if so is there any way of listing on both sites as obviously there is a much bigger market on the .co.uk site. Has it something to do with if I list the postage costs to Europe or something???
I do know that if I search the same thing on both sites I will get more items on the .co.uk site then the .ie site, with a few overlapping
Have you a listing live at the moment?
If so, perhaps you could link to it.
In the advanced sell your item listing form, make sure you have ticked UK and input a specific postage price for them, as simply ticking Europe or European Union will, I think, exclude the UK.
List your item as normal and when it appears on eBay.ie log out of eBay.ie and log into eBay.co.uk and see if its listed. In fact you can be logged into both at the same time in different windows.

The present application claims priority to and incorporates by reference the entirety of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/726,786 filed Oct. 14, 2005 and cross references and incorporates by reference U.S. Published Applications No. 2006/0034053 filed Aug. 12, 2005 and U.S. Published Applications No. 2005/0143797 filed Jul. 19, 2004.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to temperature control systems and methods and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to critical care thermal therapy systems utilizing a temperature control module operated in conjunction with a remotely disposed monitoring system enhancing performance and reliability of the thermal control over a patient's body in a manner particularly suited for neonatal care and other critical care.
2. History of the Prior Art
Medical care providers have long recognized the need to provide warmth and/or cooling directly to patients as part of routine treatment and therapy. For example, faster and more efficient recoveries have been reported using cold therapy for orthopedic patients. Moreover, the benefits of warming patients undergoing surgery has been conclusively proven.
Several methods, devices, and systems have been developed that deliver temperature controlled fluids through pads or thermal blankets to achieve the above purpose. Typically these devices and systems have heating and/or cooling elements, a source for the temperature controlled fluid, a pump for forcing the temperature controlled fluid through the pad, blanket, or other patient cover and a thermal interface between the patient and the temperature controlled fluid. U.S. Pat. No. 4,884,304 to Elkins is directed to a mattress-cover device which contains liquid flow channels which provide the selective heating or cooling by conduction.
Cooling blankets have also been proposed such as the blanket disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,388 to Greene. Greene discloses a cooling cover having an inflatable pad with plenum chambers at opposite ends thereof. Cool air is generated in a separate unit and directed to the pad and out a number of apertures on the underside of the pad and against the body of the person using the cover.
A disposable heating or cooling blanket is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,125,238 to Ragan, et al. which has three layers of flexible sheeting. Two of the layers form an air chamber and the third includes a comfortable layer for contact with the patient. Conditioned air is directed toward the covered person through a multiplicity of orifices in the bottom layers of the blanket. Another system is set forth and shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,989,285, assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
More recently the advantages of thermal control have been realized for critical care patients such as neonatal babies and stroke victims. Accurate critical care with thermal therapy systems require not only a temperature controlled fluid, but also the monitoring of the body temperature of the patient. It is critical that a reliable thermal response is used to achieve the desired core body temperature. Several problems are inherent, however, in prior art systems which lack fast and accurate temperature control in response to monitored temperature values. Time delays can result in thermal overshoot by the system, reducing patient effectiveness.
The key issue in accurate temperature control is indeed providing a system which incorporates a monitoring system having real-time temperature reading and a system response in proportion to the thermal measurements taken for the patient being treated. In other words, a sensed temperature of the patient's body evokes a thermal response which is directly associated therewith and without a time delay therefrom. Time delays between the detection of a denied thermal deviation and the delivery of the necessary heat or cold can, as referenced above, be deleterious. A system which provides the delivery of the necessary heat or cold within a short response period is necessary for true critical care through thermal therapy. It is therefore important that modem thermal therapy systems reduce the time differential substantially in order to afford the delivery of the necessary heat or cold to the patient's body for the requisite therapeutic effect.
It should be further noted that thermal therapy in critical care situations may be required in mobile intensive care units. Strokes often occur away from hospitals and comprise the genesis of basic lifesaving scenarios of the type where thermal therapy may be a critical life, or quality of life, saving factor. If an effective critical care thermal therapy system is not provided in a mobile configuration operable with multiple forms of power (such as AC and/or DC current) the utilization of the system is limited. The availability of a critical care system should not be dependent upon a single form of power.
The present invention addresses these considerations and affords an improvement over the prior art by providing an efficient thermal therapy system with real-time feedback monitored thermal response to uniformly heat or cool fluid delivered to a patient when and where the patient is in need. The present invention further includes a system that is operable on both AC and/or DC current and in an optionally portable configuration to facilitate use within automobile, care flight and other mobile configurations.
The present invention relates generally to a critical care thermal therapy system and method providing a patient with both recirculating temperature controlled fluid and real time monitoring and response to improve performance parameters and enhance patient care.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a portable critical care thermal therapy system, operable on multiple forms of electrical power for providing direct thermal therapy in response to a monitored temperature of the patient for accurate thermal control and treatment.
In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides a thermal therapy system combining Thermo Electric Components (TEC) for the generation of heat and cold as necessary for thermal therapy. TEC devices are assembled to run on DC current which may be provided by a battery or a converter from AC current. In this manner, the TEC system will support thermal therapy in mobile situations.
In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a neonatal critical care thermal therapy system affording low noise and low vibration operation.
In yet another aspect, the present invention includes a system incorporating temperature monitoring of the patient through at least one of rectal temperature measurements, esophageal temperature measurements, skin temperature measurements, and/or deep brain temperature measurements. The system may be provided in a rack mount configuration or in a portable configuration while providing a treatment fluid having the necessary temperature and thermal capacitance to heat or cool large or small areas of a patient. The area of the patient can be limited to that of a specific region comprising a thermal wrap of limited size or a complete blanket such as that set forth as shown in above referenced U.S. Pat. No. 5,989,285 assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein, in its entirety, by reference. Other thermal treatment units may be incorporated therewith in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In a further aspect, the present invention includes a critical care, thermal therapy system utilizing a thermal fluid flow to which a patient is thermally exposed. The system comprises a recirculating, temperature controlled fluid flow network adapted for patient care, a temperature control module connectable in fluid communication with the temperature controlled fluid flow network for regulating the thermal fluid temperature and flow to the patient, a thermal therapy device adapted for the flow of the thermal fluid therethrough and thermal exposure to the patient, the device being connectable to the temperature control module through the temperature controlled fluid flow network, and at least one temperature sensor in thermal communication with the patient and remotely disposed from the temperature control module. In one embodiment, the at least one remotely disposed temperature sensor monitors a select body temperature and sends thermal measurement signals to the temperature control module and in another embodiment, the temperature control module is adapted to increase or decrease the control fluid temperature and flow rate in response to the thermal measurement signals from the at least one remotely disposed temperature sensor.
In yet a further embodiment, the above described embodiment, the thermal measurement signals sent by the at least one remotely disposed temperature sensor comprises real-time measurements, and further comprises a user interface coupled to the temperature control module for setting a desired temperature and tolerance boundaries wherein the tolerance boundaries represent upper and lower thermal fluid temperature limits.
In a preferred embodiment, the user interface is electrically isolated from the temperature control module and the temperature control module is adapted for continually adjusting the thermal fluid temperature such that the monitored temperature approaches the desired temperature.
In a still further aspect, the present invention includes a method of thermal therapy critical care with utilizing a thermal fluid flow to which a patient is thermally exposed, the method comprising the steps of recirculating a control fluid through a closed-loop fluid flow network adapted for patient care, adjusting the temperature of the thermal fluid with a temperature control module connectable to the fluid flow network controlling the flow of the thermal fluid with the temperature control module, thermally exposing an environment to the thermal fluid via a thermal therapy device connectable to the fluid flow network, monitoring a patient temperature with at least one temperature sensor remotely disposed from the temperature control module, and sending real-time signals from the at least one remotely disposed temperature sensor to the temperature control module indicating the patient temperature. In one embodiment, the at least one remotely disposed temperature sensor is electrically isolated from a main power supply of the temperature control module.
Other advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent with reference to the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment thereof in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals have been applied to like elements, in which:

Core Temperature Adaptive Control
One of the primary functions of a control loop includes using the temperature data read from a sensor, for example an esophageal sensor, placed in proximity to the patient, to precisely control the cool down and warm up of the patient's core body temperature. The purpose of this exemplary algorithm is to reach the esophageal set point temperature (core body temperature) rapidly with minimum overshoot (<0.5 deg C.) and control the temperature at set point to with +/−0.2 deg C.
The control algorithm may also be able to auto-tune and adapt for variables such as patient weight, probe placement, sensor artifacts due to movement by the patient, temperature spikes due to IV's or meds, acid reflux and variation in metabolic conditions of the patient.
Control Method:
For exemplary purposes, a control method utilizing an esophageal temperature sensor will be described, but other thermal sensors monitoring other temperatures could also be utilized. The esophageal temperature sensing module may use a moving average computation to determine the esophageal temperature. It may also calculate the rate and acceleration factors for the temperature (first and second derivatives respectively).
This information may be used by the esophageal control loop to determine the optimal coolant, for example a blanket, temperature to be delivered to the patient as to achieve the desired core temperature.
In one exemplary embodiment, the esophageal adaptive control uses the esoph_error (defined as esophageal temp—esophageal set temp) to as the primary factor in determining the controller output computation. If the esoph_error is positive, the control output will apply cooling and if negative heating will be provided.
For both COOL and HEAT modes, there are four states:
STABLE State: If the esoph_error is within 0.25 deg C. of esophageal set point.
SLOW State: This state is applied when the esoph_error is >0.25 deg C. but<=1.00 deg C.
MEDIUM State: This is applied when the esoph_error is >1.00 deg C. but<=2.00 deg C.
FAST State: If the esoph_error is >2.00 deg C.
Within each state, the algorithm uses the temperature rate and second derivative information to adjust the coolant set temperature of the therapy unit. By using the esophageal temperature characteristics this algorithm changes the set temperature of the coolant (UP or DOWN) and lets the Supply Temperature Adaptive Control algorithm control the fluid temperature delivered to the patient.
The rate information may be used to determine the magnitude of coolant set temperature adjustment. This adjustment can be, for example, from +/−0.01 deg C. to 1.00 deg C. The second derivative gives useful information of change of temperature rate; this may be used to detect sudden temperature artifacts such as administration of meds or patient movement. If such events are detected, the control algorithm maintains the previous control parameters until the transient event has passed. Use of the second derivative allows the controller to not react to transients, thus minimizing temperature oscillations of core body temperature.
Supply Temperature Adaptive Control
This control loop maintains the coolant (supply) temperature of the therapy unit to within +/−0.1 deg C. of coolant set temperature.
The control loop calculates the control error by subtracting the measured temperature from the set temperature. If the error is positive the Proportional-Integral (PI) control will be in COOL mode and if negative it will operate in HEAT mode.
For both COOL and HEAT modes, these are three fuzzy stages for each mode.
Stage 1—MAX Drive: If the control error is greater than or equal to 2.00 deg C. then the Tec's are driven at maximum power to achieve setpoint condition. This mode is primarily to provide rapid response to changing set points or thermal conditions.
Stage 2—CONTROL Drive: If the control error is greater than 0.1 deg C. but less than 2.00 deg C., the TEC drive is proportional to the control error. This is a unique way to achieve quick settling time as the coolant temperature nears the set point, the magnitude of the control error will also decrease. Due to the linear relationship between the control error and TEC drive, the drive level will also reduce. This method dampens any temperature overshot, and minimizes temperature oscillations at set point.
Stage 3—STABLE Drive: If the control error is less than 0.1 deg C., the Tec's drive is turned OFF and the temperature is allowed to coast at or near set point.
Supply Temperature Adaptive Control (Optimization Loop)
If the PI control is in stage 2 or 3, this module may look at the average control error over a given time interval, and update the PI loop to drive the error to less then 0.05 deg C. The level of adjustment may be determined by the magnitude of the error and rate of change of the error (first derivative).
Information may be displayed on LCD 262 where keys and input controls 264 are connected to the micro-controller 240 through digital input/output ports 266. A communication port 268 provides control of heating/cooling engine 226 and flow meter 230.
Referring now to
In operation, the individual operating the control unit 210 turns it on, chooses heat or cold and inputs the desired temperature via the input controls 264 on control panel 214. Control signals from control unit 210 are input to engine 226 and to pump 228 for control thereof. Temperature feedback from sensor array 250 is transmitted to micro-controller 240 as described above.
Temperature controlled liquid flows from the heating/cooling engine 226 to the TTD 236. TTD 236 and flow system which may be used with the present applications may be seen in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/894,369 incorporated herein by reference. It will be appreciated that the flow of temperature control liquid is therefore provided to a patient in need of thermal therapy care.
The following operational aspects are specifically referenced herein relative to the subject application. The present invention provides portability, accuracy, and temperature monitoring with increased real response time to provide improved patient care. Prior art systems attempting to provide thermal therapy to patients often manifested overshoot inefficiency problems. Overshoot is one of the more critical aspects from the standpoint of patient care under thermal therapy. With both stroke and neonatal patients, the need for real-time temperature control and the requisite thermal therapy within predefined tolerance boundaries is critical. For this reason, multiple aspects of temperature measurement of the patient is anticipated with the remote modules of the present invention affording doctors the ability to take temperatures such as rectal as well as esophageal and/or deep brain in addition to dermal. The remote sensing protects the patients and insulates the patient from any risks relative to power being supplied thereto, in this way, the patient is not exposed to the power supply. In one embodiment referred to above with a rack mount, the patient is able to experience the benefits of the system and thermal therapy in a low-noise, low-vibration environment. This may be very critical in neonatal units.
In summary, the AC/DC options of the present invention, as well as the size and weight of the thermal control unit 210, provide great benefits in association with the low noise and possibility for MICU ambulance/helicopter care.
With regard to neonatal applications it is important to note that premature infants typically cannot regulate their own body temperature and therefore the ability to accurately control thermal therapy systems with immediate response is a market advantage over the prior art. Feedback with multiple remote sensors is thus critical to the operation of the thermal engine 226 and the ability to provide larger thermal capacity by modifying the number and/or size of the thermal engine within the chassis 212 is of distinct importance. While particular embodiments of the present invention have been described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications, alternatives, variations, etc., may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Review for Gustafson Brothers Service Center
Steve C. on 07/02/2013
Spoke with Steve. Steve said he was satisfied with everything regarding service, except for 1 minor issue. As a result, he planned on calling his service advisor at the earliest convenience, to see whether or not he was able to reset the service light display. He enjoyed working with the business for his repair service needs. It was a clean place of business. The cost for charges was as initially promised. There were no hidden agendas, like other repair centers. There was a level of trust with the service and support he received for his vehicle. The location was conveniently close to home. The business could serve him better by maintaining the same great level of service and support for his vehicle.
