Welcome to the New York Blood Center's National Cord Blood Program Website - an interactive, informational resource for patients, their families and caregivers, health care professionals, expectant parents and the general public.
NYBC's Milstein National Cord Blood Center (supported by the Howard and Abby Milstein Foundation) and its National Cord Blood Program (NCBP) is the world's oldest and remains the largest single public cord blood bank. We collect, process, test and store cord blood that mothers donate to us for use by patient in need for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Our Program makes cord blood available under an Investigational New Drug (IND) exemption from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for children and adults who face a life-threatening illness and need "stem cell" transplants from unrelated donors. NYBC's NCBP was also the first public cord blood bank in the world to receive NetCord-FACT accreditation (June 2003). Click here for more information on NetCord-FACT accreditation.
NCBP obtained its IND exemption from the FDA in 1996, the first cord blood bank to do so. To qualify for the IND, we submitted our policies and protocols to the FDA and have provided annual reports on our Program and on the results of transplants using cord blood units from our bank. FDA has since issued several guidance documents to clarify the requirements for cord blood banks to become licensed.
Cord blood is a "biological" product and, pending FDA licensure, the proper context for cord blood banking and for using cord blood in treating patients, is under an FDA IND exemption. This is because, from a regulatory viewpoint, cord blood is still an experimental source of hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells.
From the regulatory perspective, the donors of cord blood (the mothers who donate their newborn's cord blood) and the patients who receive cord blood transplants are "human research subjects" under FDA and Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP). For this reason, we collect cord blood following protocols, policies and procedures submitted to the FDA and formally accepted by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the New York Blood Center as well as by the IRB of each of the hospitals that collaborate with us as a collection center.
To date, cord blood donations from more than 53,000 mothers have been made to the NYBC's National Cord Blood Program. Our donors come from all ethnic backgrounds. For example, approximately 18% of the donors are African-American (having at least one African-American parent), while 11% have two African-American parents. Additionally, Asians represent approximately 10% of all donors and multi-race donors make up 13-15%. Donors of Hispanic ancestry range between 20-22%. This ethnic diversity has made it possible for patients of different ethnic backgrounds to find suitable matches, thereby improving access to hematopoietic transplantation. [See: Why is cord blood important for ethnic minorities?].
Although cord blood is an investigational product, not licensed by FDA, it has been used (as an alternative to bone marrow) as a source of hematopoietic stem cells for several years. There have been over 15,000 cord blood transplants worldwide through 2009. In the United States, more than one half of all stem cell transplants from unrelated donors in children now use cord blood. In Japan, this is true for adults as well. Our program has provided cord blood units for transplantation to over 3,500 recipients to date, about one fourth of all cord blood transplants from unrelated donors. Most patients were affected by leukemia, lymphoma, severe aplastic anemia, other lethal diseases of the blood or immune system or certain inherited metabolic diseases [See: Patients & Outcomes for a listing of all diseases treated thus far].
When considering a transplant, the transplant physician is responsible for assessing whether his/her patient needs a hematopoietic stem cell transplant and if so, for deciding on the most appropriate source of those stem cellscord blood, bone marrow or mobilized stem cells. When matching cord blood units from our bank are being considered for a transplant, we work with the transplant physician to help select the most appropriate unit (based, in part, on what we have learned from the reports transplant centers send to us on their patients who have already received cord blood units from our Program). The physician, however, makes the final decision with the patient or, in the case of a minor, with the family.
This Website attempts to provide accurate and timely information about cord blood transplants and public donations, as well as about technical aspects of our Program's operations. Patients and families considering a possible transplant must be told that cord blood is an investigational product, not yet licensed by FDA. They can read about the potential advantages and disadvantages of cord blood transplantation in Cord Blood Q&A and in a Comparison between Bone Marrow & Cord Blood. Encouraging Patient Stories can be found in the Patients & Outcomes section. Website visitors can find out how the NCBP works in Program Overview. More technical information about cord blood collection and processing can be found in NCBP at Work.
Expectant parents can get useful information about donation from Cord Blood Donation. You can keep current with News & Articles. You can use the new SiteMap to help navigate the site.
One of the features originated by the NCBP website is our Public Cord Blood Search program which allows anyone the on-line opportunity to obtain an "informal" preliminary count of possible matching CB units in the NCBP inventory at the same time of search. See the "Public NCBP Cord Blood Search" link at the top of this homepage. Detailed instructions will help guide you through the process.
Note: The NCBP Website was launched on October 1, 2004. The NCBP Website was last updated on: 6/16/10.

The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) is awarding funds to public cord blood banks selected to perform collections for a new National Cord Blood Inventory (NCBI). The New York Blood Center's National Cord Blood Program has participated in this Program from its inception.
NCBP has now become the first public cord blood bank to automate the processing, cryopreservation and storage of cord blood stem cell units.

The 10,000,000th STEM CELL DONOR:
In November, 2005, the ten millionth stem cell donor registered in Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide was celebrated, including some 200,000 donated cord blood units. Currently, the number exceeds 14 million with some 400,000 cord blood units. Click here to read what this encouraging news means for patients searching for a stem cell match for transplant and about the role of cord blood.
The November 25, 2004 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine contained two articles on cord blood transplantation in adults, a review of cord blood banking issues and an editorial on cord blood transplantation in adults. The two research reports compared unrelated cord blood and bone marrow transplantation in a combined total of more than 1,200 adult patients. Abstracts of those reports can be found on our news and articles section of this website in NCBP Scientific Publications.
The NEJM editorial of the same issue addressed "Cord Blood Transplantation in Patients with Leukemia A Real Alternative for Adults". Click here to read the editorial. A brief explanation of what these studies mean for adult patients can be found in patients and outcomes.
The June 9, 2007 issue of Lancet, [Lancet 369 (9577), 1947-1954, 2007] included a study comparing the outcomes of children less than 16 years old, treated for acute leukemia with either cord blood (number: 503) or allele-matched bone marrow transplants (number: 282). The leukemia-free survival of the allele-matched bone marrow was similar five years after the transplantation to those of 1 or 2 antigen mismatched cord blood.
In its November 24, 2009 issue, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a report from Dutch and NCBP investigators that studied the results of HLA mismatches in children and adults with blood malignancies. They encountered evidence that patient HLA mismatches, identical to HLA antigens present in the donor's mother but not inherited by the donor (NIMA, non-inherited maternal antigens), were tolerated significantly better than mismatches that did not correspond to the donor's NIMA. The donor NIMA effect included a lower incidence of relapse. This means that selecting the mismatched cord blood grafts according to the donor's NIMA type may considerably improve the outcome by overcoming the negative effects of the mismatches.
The June 16, 2010 issue of Lancet Oncology> included a study comparing BM, PB and single unit CB grafts in adult patients with leukemia transplanted during the period 2002-2006. The results showed that the leukemia-free survival in patients after CB transplantation was similar to that of patients receiving 7/8 and 8/8 PB or BM grafts. However transplant related mortality was higher.

Once again this summer, for the third consecutive year, the Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno is taking over the kitchens of the Dior des Lices restaurant, installed in the garden of the private mansion that houses the Dior boutique. Here he responds to DiorMag's questions.
How did you come up with the Dior des Lices menu?
The garden's minimal and sculptural aspect greatly inspired me. I sought to really absorb the location and its history. All my creativity really came to the fore! I wanted to create a culinary journey with a menu of easy dishes, light meals to suit all tastes, salads, and daily specialties. The menu is light, delicious, and summery.
In what way are haute couture and gastronomy similar?
Dior des Lices is a reflection of the creative world of the haute couture: in cuisine just as in couture, the products are worked, remodeled, mixed to become real works of their own merit.
If Dior was a dish it would be... ?
The salad of precious tomatoes. A refined, simple and chic dish. It's a must-eat in Saint Tropez.
If Dior was a pastry it would be... ?
The D'Choux. I created an exclusive collection of D'Choux, specially for Dior des Lices with a range of flavors including raspberry heart, chocolate praline, lemon zest, salted-butter caramel.
Why do you like to work in Saint Tropez?
The house of Dior gave me the opportunity to come and set up in Saint Tropez, and for three years Dior des Lices has been an seasonal tea room where clients can partake in moments of gentle indulgence, on offer all throughout the day.

Creating a Wild Backyard - Squirrels in Maryland
Five species of squirrels can be found in Maryland: red squirrel, gray squirrel, southern flying squirrel, eastern fox squirrel and the Delmarva fox squirrel. All but the Delmarva fox squirrel are common species found throughout most of Maryland.
Red squirrels, also called pine squirrels, are red. These squirrels are less common and smaller than gray squirrels. Red squirrels prefer evergreen trees and mainly live in Western Maryland. Red squirrels eat a variety of foods and are even known to tap sugar maple trees to feed on the sugary sap. Red squirrels are highly territorial and will not let other squirrels, even of different species, into their habitat. To attract red squirrels, plant a variety of evergreens on your property, especially pines and spruces. Red squirrels nest in tree cavities and in ground dwellings and bear 1-2 litters of young each year.
One of the most common squirrels in Maryland is the gray squirrel, which lives almost anywhere that it can find open woodlands (especially oak and hickory forests). Most gray squirrels are just as their name sounds- gray. The color is good camouflage and protects them from predators in the woods. However, some gray squirrels are black, white or blonde. Gray squirrels have large, bushy tails which serve many functions from balance to shade to a rudder when swimming. The trees most commonly used by gray squirrels are white oak, American beech, American elm, red maple and sweetgum. The diet of gray squirrels typically includes acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts, beechnuts, maple (buds, bark, and samaras), tulip poplar blossoms, American hornbeam seeds, apples, fungi, black cherry, flowering dogwood, grapes, sedges, grasses and American holly. Occasionally, gray squirrels will also eat insects (adults and larvae), baby birds, bird eggs and amphibians. Gray squirrels mate in the winter and late summer then build nests in trees. Typically, they have 2 litters per year. To learn more about gray squirrels, then visit the Gray Squirrel Fact Sheet.
Southern flying squirrels are very common in Maryland but are rarely seen because they are nocturnal. They live in hardwood forests and can often be heard calling in the middle the night. Flying squirrels, despite their name, cannot fly but they can glide from tree to tree using extra folds of skin between their front and hind legs. Southern flying squirrels eat a variety of nuts, acorns and seeds as well as lichen and fungi. Southern flying squirrels nest in tree cavities and typically produce 2 litters per year.
There are two species of fox squirrels native to Maryland. Fox squirrels are stockier and heavier than their more acrobatic cousins and spend more time on the ground. The eastern fox squirrel is very common and is found throughout the piedmont and western regions of Maryland. Like other squirrels, they nest in tree cavities or build nests out of leaves. Eastern fox squirrels are attracted to white oak acorns, American beech nuts and hickory nuts. Eastern fox squirrels breed in December and have 1-2 litters of young per year.
In contrast, the Delmarva fox squirrel is only found on the Eastern Shore and is a federally endangered species. At one time Delmarva fox squirrels could be found throughout the Delmarva Peninsula and up into Pennsylvania, but habitat loss and timber harvest have severely reduced their range. Delmarva fox squirrels prefer mature forests comprised of both hardwood and pine trees with minimal understory and ground cover. Delmarva fox squirrels feed mostly on oak, hickory, sweetgum, walnut and loblolly pine. To find out more information on Delmarva fox squirrels then visit the MD DNR site on this rare species.
Squirrels can be fun to watch. Avid squirrel watchers erect
and obstacle courses with food as a reward at the
end. It is amazing
how quickly the squirrels figure out how
to get the food. Squirrels
also like nest boxes for both
sheltering young and for protection.
Attracting Squirrels while Reducing Potential Conflicts
Squirrels will eat almost anything: nuts, fruits, seeds, fungi, insects, plant buds, flower parts, bark, roots, and even people food. A variety of trees and food are essential for good squirrel habitat.
Attracting squirrels can be as simple as erecting feeders and nest boxes. However, planting trees that produce nuts can supply natural nest sites as well as food. Squirrels do not necessarily need an open water source. They receive most of their water from dew and the plant material they eat.
A word of warning, though! Having squirrels around means you must secure any possible entrances to your attic. Squirrels like to use attic insulation for nesting material and may even take up residence there. Scattering mothballs will discourage them, but the best solution is eliminating any way they may enter the attic. Squirrels also like plant bulbs.
Planting daffodils among your bulbs will sometimes keep them from dining on the bulbs in your gardens. Liberally applying blood meal and dried red pepper seeds to your flowerbed may also help keep squirrels out. Squirrels are also notorious for raiding bird feeders and can consume large amounts of corn and other nuts and seeds. Providing additional feeders for the squirrels may distract them from the bird feeders. Sheet metal can be placed around the base of the feeder. However, squirrels are quite ingenious at thwarting all attempts to keep them away. Also see: Living With Squirrels

York ISO-Grip Rubber Encased Steel Composite Olympic Grip Plates - York applied an ingenious innovation to the standard multi-hole grip plate and developed the ISO-Grip Plate, clearly the most maneuverable, safest plate in the industry today. The ISO-Grip Plate is the industry's answer to a 360-degree easy-pick-up plate cleverly achieved by casting the hub thicker (no thicker than a standard wide flange plate) than the rim. The patent-pending, radical benefit of a thicker hub and a streamlined rim is the anti-pinch nature of using the plates. The streamlined rim ensures a comfortable grip and enhanced maneuverability with its 3-grip design.

I had heard recently about Gorgeous Cosmetics and was curious to try it. I needed some new lipsticks, but didn't want anything that dried my lips out.
I took a chance on buying this kit, but am so happy that I did! Not only are they great colors, but they feel really good on my lips. Creamy and long wearing.
Can't wait to try more products.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

you people are so fast to throw the word conspiracy around. it's as it an argument winning comment if it's thrown in. look it up. here's the physics of a link from an official websit that includes popular mechanics.
give us the fact proven, non disputable event. And I don't want to hear about an event that is not proven. something flat out true.
Thanks Chickenarrone.
I think there is I psychological issue here. Notice that people who believe in one conspiracy also believe in several others. Maybe people are just wired like that.

Old people don't follow arguments so good, I guess. Cause what I get from this writer's words is the idea that:
(1) presence on the internet constitutes advertising
(2) the more places you make yourself known, the more presence you have.
When someone types into a search engine this writer's name, the more hits the engine returns, the better chance someone will go see what all the fuss is about. If the search engine reports 6 billion hits, the evidence indicates that he has been in the ear of every person on the planet, then there must be something to this writer that makes him so popular.
So, the whole purpose of this discussion is to establish that presence and thus get another hit on a search engine.
Tell you what, writer person, get yourself a posting in Wikipedia. If I can find an article about your book in Wikipedia, I may go look at what you've written. Otherwise, nothing you've written about the book has drawn my interest thus far.
Oh, yeah, I rarely look past the first page of my search engine so the number of hits doesn't do anything for me but I'm old; young people may see it differently.

On topic: obviously marketing represents yet another great pitfall for the unknown writer. It's not enough to actually have the courage and tenacity to write, and the luck and determination to get it published, you must also be a salesperson. This, of course will come more naturally to some than others, and of course there will always be disparities in the resources available to different writers. But one thing that I do not understand, Robert, is why you feel that you do not have the luxury of taking the time to develop relationships. Is there some expiration date on your words?

In reply to advice asked for
I was asked for advice and gave it while claiming no expertise. While I've lots on nonfiction published, I've only had one novel and the essay that caused a reaction on this site published as fiction. I was sharing more of my experience as examples of mistakes with positive and negative consequences. Yesterday, a publisher asked for a rework of a story (horror). Sorry, I don't have a success story to provide and my advice should be considered with caution.
As to crit groups, I belong to two, but don't fully participate on either. It's a matter of time, rather than philosophical approach.
Yes, J, if I was a young man interested in establishing a fan base, I would have posted differently as previously described. This is not an apology, as I think the discussion here has been beneficial to all.
For whomever asked, "Rarity from the Hollow" was extensively edited by someone who has been in the business for decades and holds a prominent position. She was more harsh than anybody that had ever read any of my work, and appreciated. This doesn't mean that you will like my novel, only that it has been put through the wringer.

I am indeed a self-confessed RUSH addict, and have been since the late 70s.
If we could all write words like Neil Peart and music like Alex and Geddy, we wouldn't need any self-promotion.
(Sorry for going a little off topic...but it is RUSH we are talking about here.)

Anyway...back on topic:
Self-promotion is somewhat subjective and opinions on what's effective will of course differ greatly. At the end of the day the proof of the pudding will be determined by what might be considered a successful promotion, irrespective of whether the promotion was deemed appropriate or not. I have to admit to being a bit confused by some of roberteggleton's comments, although somewhere amongst the mess of words is a message I'm sure. So I tried to lighten this discussion up a bit - SFFWorld should always been a fun place after all.
However, my references to the song lyrics (which do convey a relevance IMO) were not just designed to be a slightly off-topic diversion. It resulted in some additional lighthearted banter and references to the band in question. Now by that simple post of lyrics, many who read this thread may in fact discover a brilliant band whom they may never have heard of previously. They may in fact look them up, listen to some samples on the Net and end up buying a CD. I guess, that, in a nutshell, may sum up exactly what many of this thread's contributors have been saying all along. Promotion (self or otherwise) does not have to be aggressive or annoying to be successful.

That's a nice article by Simon Haynes, Hobbit.
He's not talking about getting multiple search engine hits so that you'll look impressive, Holbrook. He's talking about networking, not so that he can go "buy my book" -- which is a technique that can work very well for non-fiction but doesn't do so well for fiction -- but so that people can get to know him and he can get to know other people. Which is no different from authors introducing themselves to booksellers or showing up at sff conventions and talking with the participants. And no different from the SFWA site having links to author webpages and Locus and other related websites/organizations. And pretty much the same thing you do when you're trying to coordinate the carpools for your kid's soccer practices.

Why, may I ask do you consider 55 too old???
I am just a couple of years younger than that, I have, over the last couple of years formed strong friendships over the net and produced three books in the process. Not published mainstream yet, but heck I reckon witha fair wind and a bit of luck I have another 20 years and twenty books to do it.
Just because you are older doesn't mean you need to rush things. Better take your time and enjoy the ride with all its ups and downs and grow in the process. You seem to be harping on about all the negative stuff. Where is the positive stuff about your work being published???
What me sensible??? Have they been putting water in your red wine again....

Child Maltreatment
I'm very postitive at work. You wouldn't believe how well I empower victims, unless you've read my novel. After a couple of beers after work and on weekends, I vent. Sorry if it's a downer. Ignore me. Sometimes, since a large proportion of any profits I make will go to save babies, I feel compelled. I'm an original appointee to our state's child fatality review team -- it kinda messed me up -- all the details provided by the medical examiner. Puke! Still, there are thousands of kids that need our help because nobody else pays attention. You wouldn't want to know but it's duty.
August 20th, 2006, 09:45 PM #72
Here is an example of some self-promotion done nicely, with a little humor and not too much gee-I-got-published-and-everyone-loves-me ego. Why does this work? I'll offer some points: 1) Joe didn't start the thread himself (nor did one of his "friends/publicist/net alter-ego"); 2) Joe came to answer a question that a reader had and to thank Hobbit for the nice review; and, 3) Joe was nice and only a little bit self-promotionalish (tm), and that bit was more tongue in cheek anyway.

I like promotions like this little swf slide show, they give a little, entertain, let you enjoy a taste for the style, an idea of the plot: Scott Westerfield's So Yesterday
I think sending people to view a fairly artistic slide show is a nice thing. It's not heavy reading, it's not heavy selling, it's appropriate for viewing online, and if it is all about presence on the net, this is the kind of thing that people might tell other people to look at on messageboards such as this.

Hey Hobbit, finally, a use for blogs!
I've been blogging all wrong and failing completely by not blogging where everyone else blogs and blogging in private. I wondered why my friends who swore off blogging started blogging. Blogging Hell! Have I missed the blogging boat?
August 20th, 2006, 11:59 PM #75
I'm the author of the author promotion article mentioned a page or so back, and I just wanted to give a little background on what prompted me to write it.
It wasn't written as an attack on self-promoters, more as a warning to freshly published authors about to embark on a protracted ad campaign for their new book. Even if they choose to go ahead with it, after reading the article they might do it a little less blatantly.
I find it awfully hard to bite my tongue when people are discussing books in my genre, particularly since it's a small niche sub-sub-genre containing only a handful of books. For example, this week-old thread right here on SFFWorld is discussing the genre, and I'd love to leap in and say 'hey, what about ...'. But I won't. Partly because it'd be spamming, but mostly because of all the people you want to hear recommendations from, an author is the very last one. Totally biased, and it's a bad sign if they have to go out and push their own book instead of letting genuine fans do it for them. (That's the perception, and ignores the fact there won't BE any fans until someone's read it.)
I did find a couple of my posts on here from 2001 which I'd consider spammish, but I was young and innocent then ;-) Should have read my own article.

No Off Season for Sports
I'm a huge sports fan. I have been my whole life.
The boys of summer have always filled the hot months with the American pastime. My own obsession with baseball has dwindled over the years. It's such a great game but I'm a casual observer now.
Usually baseball is about it for most of the summer. Not this year.
In June/July we had the European Championships for soccer (football). I'm a huge fan of soccer/football. I know we have MLS here in the summer and I know it's good. I'm just not a fan ....yet. I love England's Premier League.
That means I love the competition between nations that is the Euros. It's great to watch!
Soon after that ended we got the Olympics! I only wish I had time to watch as much of the Olympics as I'd like to!
Now, even before the Games in London are wrapping up...we're back to football, American Football. The Broncos kick things off on Thursday. Preseason game #1 can be seen right here on KKTV 11! Bring it on!
In just two weeks..the English Premier League is back, then comes college football (American!).
Sports junkies had a hot summer! Play ball!
We'll talk again soon.

ReserveAge Organics
Numerous studies have revealed that French women age more slowly than American women, remaining youthful well into middle age. One of the key differences between women in France and the U.S. is diet. Among the many staples of the French diet is wine, which is rich in Resveratrol, a polyphenol in grapes that has been clinically shown to limit the effects of free radicals and slow down the aging process. Inspired by the amazing beauty of French women's skin Naomi Whittel and a French doctor named Dr. Eric Lafforgue founded ReserveAge Organics, a line of supplements rich in Resveratrol.

ReserveAge Organics Customer Reviewsgreat product - 11/7/2014 8:36:51 AM I have been using ReserveAge Collagen Booster for several years now. All I know is that overall for my age 65+ I have no wrinkles and my skin on my arms and legs is pretty good considering my age. We loose collagen as we age so receiving Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen & Resveratrol, a polyphenol in grapes that has been clinically shown to limit the effects of free radicals and slow down the aging process is great to take internally. I use to take the one with Keratin as well, but it was too costly to keep buying both products. It's a great supplement.only 59 pills in a bottle instead of 60 - 5/28/2012 7:58:39 PM I bought three bottles, and there were not 60 pills but 59, I thought I made a mistake, but when I decided to actually count them I was short one on both, I know one vitamin doesn't seem a big deal, but being quite expensive it would be nice to get the amount shown on the bottle! Will definitely not buy again, I would reccomend phytophanere instead if you are looking for good hair skin vitamins

Sharon Rice: I'm pleased to welcome guest blogger Jason Wheeler, CPIM, CSCP, to "Think Supply Chain." Wheeler is Process Improvement Engineer, Warehouse Operations for Roche Diagnostics Operations and the APICS chair-elect.
I recently heard the term "reverse innovation" used during a discussion at work. Not being familiar with the concept, I quickly did a little research to find out more about it. The broad definition means goods are developed as inexpensive models to meet the needs of developing nations and, then, repackaged as low-cost innovative goods for Western buyers.
Wanting to learn more, I began looking for articles or a book that could provide more insight on the topic. A quick search brought up "Reverse Innovation: Create Far From Home, Win Everywhere," written by two Dartmouth professors, Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble. The book provides a better understanding of the concept while also discussing why large corporations have struggled with this idea.
Using the reverse innovation mindset, GE designed a portable, low-cost ultrasound machine that could be used in rural China. That same product now is used in many ambulances right here in the United States. GE went on to use the same process to design a low-cost portable electrocardiogram (ECG) unit for rural India. After the initial unit was completed, GE designed additional products with some minor enhancements. Similar to the portable ultrasounds, visiting nurses and primary care doctors are able to use the ECG units at rural clinics that could not afford the high-end units.
Where are some other areas where reverse innovation might be put to use? How might it be applied to improve supply chain and operations management?

multiple passes neededPosted April 7, 2014
Cutting the whole "T" in one pass is too much material removal for a single pass, and if you think about it you can't make multiple dropping passes where you have an undercut bit. So there is the need to remove the slot material first and no cutter on the minor diameter. And for the depth of 3/8" slot you need, it's probably a good idea to make two passes to cut that slot as well, the first at half depth, the second at full depth. These specialty bits take a bit more planning than simple bits but the result is worth it.

|History of Perinatal Information System
|Monday, 03 May 2010 16:53
MPS. Newsletter of worldwide activity. March 2010
Since its inception 40 years ago the Latin American Center for Perinatology/ Women's and Reproductive Health (CLAP/WR) of the Pan American Health Organization has worked with the countries in the Americas to improve perinatal health.
One of the first problems identified in countries was the lack of uniformity in data collection when mother and newborn receive health care and, sometimes, the absence of relevant information that resulted in a deterioration of the quality of services. Therefore it was necessary to address the lack of data for service planning at local level and the impossibility to compare the data with those from other health units at national and international levels. In response to this situation, CLAP/WR developed the Perinatal Information System (SIP).
The Perinatal Information System is a standard for perinatal clinical records developed by PAHO/WHO at the Latin American Centre for Perinatology. SIP is free domain software for filing and analysing the burden of problems, interventions and outcomes of health services at local level. SIP clinical records and software are periodically updated by consensus by a group of Latin American and Caribbean experts in obstetrics and neonatology. The material is available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
SIP collects basic data needed for the care of women and neonates. The data are available in a modular format including: Maternal Identification, Woman History, Current Pregnancy, Antenatal Visits, Labor/ Childbirth or Abortion, Women Diseases, Neonatal History and Diseases, Puerperium, Neonatal and Maternal Discharge.With different degrees of development, SIP is being used in 32 Latin American and Caribbean countries, as well as in Spain and Equatorial Guinea
