An advanced cardiac facility is not only an ambitious venture but in fact it is a necessity here in Guyana.CEO of the Caribbean Heart Institute, Dr. Gary StephensThis notion was emphasized by Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Caribbean Heart Institute (CHI),Cheap World Cup Jerseys, Dr. Gary Stephens.CHI, which is located at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), is a public-private partnership. Moreover,China NBA Jerseys, government financed a recent upgrade of the facility in the form of a $2.1 billion state-of-the-art Catherisation Laboratory which was commissioned last Saturday.Dr. Stephens, speaking at the commissioning ceremony, noted that there are some who would rightly question why a developing country such as Guyana would invest so much money in such advanced technology. He revealed that while in many countries around the world it would be regarded a bad investment “for Guyana, I think, unfortunately for us, cardiac disease is an epidemic in our country.”He continued, “While we try to figure out how to prevent it, unfortunately it is here and it affects the productivity of a lot of our young people.”Dr. Stephens, a Guyanese by birth, migrated many years ago to the United States, where he was able to eventually delve into the field of cardiology. He currently has a reputable place at the Maimonides Medical Centre in Brooklyn, New York, as a Cardiac Surgeon, and visits these shores regularly to offer his expertise.“I tell people ever so often that the majority of people I operate on in the United States are in their 60s and 70s; in Guyana they’re in their 40s,” the CHI CEO emphasised.He moreover posited that the millions spent by Government to procure the Cath Lab using tax-payers’ dollars is a good investment.And Dr. Stephens assured Minister of Public Health, Dr. George Norton, who attended Saturday’s commissioning, that “the returns will be a hundred fold; investing in the young men and women of our country as we go forward.”CHI, which is manned by Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Mahendra Carpen, in the absence of Dr. Stephens, has also been gaining immense support from overseas experts the likes of Dr. Debra Isaacs, who has been offering help, with a particular focus on training personnel at the GPHC for a number of years.

If we are going to have state-of-the-art equipment,Cheap Jerseys China, we need to use it as it is meant to be used, and I am very optimistic that we will be able to move forward,” said Dr. Isaacs who also graced Saturday’s commissioning ceremony.Also there was GPHC’s Head of Paediatric Surgery, Dr. Marissa Seepersaud. She disclosed that the Guyana Paediatric Cardiac programme, which has been gaining support from the International Children’s Foundation (Baby Heart Foundation), is expected to benefit considerably from the new Cath Lab, as she pointed out its importance in the assessment and treatment of children with congenital heart disease.She disclosed that while the GPHC-based programme has had some successes using the old CHI Cath Lab “we are very happy to see that the voices that needed to be heard for an upgrade to the Cath Lab were heard, and that this has been actually realised to the point now that we have a state-of-the-art Cath Lab; probably the best in the Region.”Since opening its doors in 2006,Wholesale China Jerseys, the CHI has been considerably expanding its range of services and has included diagnostic cardiology, interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery. It has even been credited with undertaking the first paediatric cardiac surgery in the English-speaking Caribbean. In fact Dr. Stephens has divulged that because “we have led the way,” Trinidad has sought his support to introduce a similar cardiac service.With the new Cath Lab, CHI is poised to introduce even more procedures including cardiac electrophysiology (elucidating, diagnosing and treating the electrical activities of the heart), coronary as well as cerebral work and fixing fibroids.作者:

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen was back on the field Thursday for practice, following a sudden illness that kept him out of the previous game.
Peterson made an appearance on the injury report this week, the result of the ring finger on his left hand he hurt against the Chiefs, but there's no apparent concern about his ability to take the handoffs as usual.
Griffen said he felt sick a couple of hours before the Vikings played against Kansas City, and after consulting with the team's medical staff he went to Hennepin County Medical Center in downtown Minneapolis as a precaution.
"It was scary, but we've got the right people in our organization. They made the right decision for me and I'm happy to be back with my team, getting ready for Detroit," Griffen said, adding: "I'm thankful for that,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, because I could've went out there and got injured or something bad could've happened."
"No question in my mind," said Griffen, who has a team-high three sacks in four games.
"He looked good today. He practiced hard. He's ready to go," Zimmer said.
"That's not my job to release all my medical information, but, yeah, I was sick. Handled it accordingly. I'm back, feeling healthy and feeling strong," Griffen said.
Coach Mike Zimmer essentially said the same.
Griffen was scratched from the lineup,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, and rookie Danielle Hunter started in his place. The Vikings beat the Chiefs 16-10.
"The part that he got nicked, it really doesn't have anything to do with the ball,NHL Jerseys From China," Zimmer said.
"We're like brothers so anytime you see your brother going through something,Jerseys NFL China, not feeling well,Cheap Jerseys From China, whatever it might be, you want to reach out to let that person know that, 'Hey, I love you,NFL Jerseys Supply,'" running back Adrian Peterson said. "That was my text to him: 'I love you, man.'"
Griffen said he was just as grateful for the words of encouragement he received from teammates during his unexpected absence.
The Vikings also placed backup defensive tackle Shamar Stephen on injured reserve this week with a broken foot and signed defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis to fill his spot.
Griffen declined to divulge specifics about his condition or confirm an ESPN report that he underwent heart-related testing at the hospital.
Even with Griffen back, the Vikings are banged up along the front four. Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd didn't practice Thursday because of knee and ankle injuries that occurred in the game against Kansas City, and backup defensive end Justin Trattou has been out for more than three weeks with a foot injury he suffered when the Vikings played San Diego.
The Vikings play the Lions on Sunday, and Griffen put his chance of playing at 100 percent.
