			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Given the complexity of medical issues and as a check for unforeseen threats, modern healthcare relies heavily on various tests. That goes to say that healthcare professionals conducting check-ups on hospital in-patients must have all the test results available to them at their fingertips &#8211; literally.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.howard-medical.com/carts/poc/hi-care/">Howard point of care carts</a> can do just that, and much more. These carts come with a hi-tech monitor with a work surface that is spill-proof and can securely hold a notebook. The battery powered carts also designed for easy and stable steering and move on lockable, 360-degree swiveling casters.</p>
<p>The height of these nursing carts can be adjusted with the touch of a button, while an arm can set the distance of the monitor for trouble-free viewing. These point of care solutions are also designed for durability and ease of use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The swim suit companies are gearing up; the home treadmills are out; obviously the &#8217;tis that season of the year again &#8212; the season to slim up. Or down. The first words that flash across most people&#8217;s minds are &#8220;weight loss&#8221;, followed by &#8220;diet pill&#8221;, and some wash it down with <a href="http://www.appetitesuppressants.net/" target="_blank" rel=nofollow>appetite suppressant</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Either way, if you&#8217;re bent upon slimming down fast, I mean really fast, perhaps you need something more than the slow-n-casual exercises. A Google search &#8220;quick diet loss&#8221; yields up to 23-odd million results, and that&#8217;s when you get into shock, most likely from the fantastic promises each and every one of those companies make. Obviously, they can&#8217;t all be right. Right?</p>
<p>Do your research, you&#8217;ll mot likely come across names such as Apidexin, Fenphedra, Decaslim, TestoRipped, Hoodia and more. While I&#8217;m no specialist to comment about any, what I&#8217;d like to say is that if I were you, I&#8217;d probably check their FDA rating/status plus go in for the top selling drugs, just because someone else must already have done the research for you.</p>
<p>Then again, I&#8217;d probably consult my physician first.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Is it that time in your life you wished you looked 10 years younger? Or weighed 10 lbs less? <i>Or smelled 10 years younger?</i> Well, according to a report in Daily Mirror, a new perfume can fulfill  that last wish in literally a whiff.</strong></p>
<p>Researchers say that the new Ageless Fantasy perfume can lead people around you into thinking you&#8217;re at least eight years younger than your real age.</p>
<p>&#8220;From the point of arriving at the fragrance we had to negate the body odor that comes with age, it is not enough to simply mask the smell of aging,&#8221; said Kumar Ramani, president of Harvey Prince. &#8220;Our goal was to find a fragrance that men and women would associate with youth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harvey Prince, the perfume maker, attributed &#8216;natural biochemistry&#8217; to the scent&#8217;s effect. The firm said the perfume&#8217;s tropical-based top notes of pineapple, mango, apple and leafy greens prompt happy childhood memories in anyone who smells it, though for a short period of time.</p>
<p>However, its middle notes &#8212; cherry blossom and pink jasmine &#8212; start telling withing 20 minutes after application, and the real blast comes with the heavier notes &#8212; musk and vanilla  &#8212; which allegedly have a lasting effect. What they really do is disguise the unpleasant fatty odor that comes off Nonenal pheromones in women aged above 40 years.</p>
<p>Dubbed &#8216;<strong>the world&#8217;s first and only anti-age perfume</strong>&#8216;, Ageless Fantasy is £59 (US$108) for a 100ml bottle, expected to be available at Harvey Nichols next month.</p>
<p>This is great. Hopefully soon the researchers will come up with something that can make you smell 20 years younger.</p>
<p>Wonder if they have checked out Johnson&#8217;s Baby Powder yet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Surgeons at the Munich University Clinic spent 15 hours grafting arms on a 54-year-old German farmer who lost both arms in a horrifying threshing accident six years ago.</strong></p>
<p>Doctors said that the greatest challenge was establishing blood flow between the farmer&#8217;s body and the muscles in the new arms.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.offbeatbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/worlds-first-double-arm-transplant.jpg" alt="World's first double arm transplant" align=center></p>
<p>The muscle and the nerves to be connected were exposed first while the blood vessels were filled with chilled blood. The farmer&#8217;s and the donor&#8217;s arms were then removed exactly at the point matching the patient&#8217;s arm stumps. First the bones were joined, then arteries and veins to ensure a speedy blood circulation.</p>
<p>&#8220;The arms quickly resumed their rosy color,&#8221; a clinic spokeswoman said.</p>
<p>Doctors are optimistic that his nerves will expand at a pace of about 1mm per day, in which case he should be able to use his hands in about two years.</p>
<p>Medial specialists see psychological counselling as extremely crucial for the true success of the operation. In 1992, Australian Clint Hallam had lost a hand in an accident with a circular saw. He was successfully fitted with a new arm, he could never get rid of the nagging thought that his hand belonged to somebody else. It was removed at his request three years after the operation.</p>
