    Detectives have charged Keith Beviss, aged 54 from Honiton with the murder of Philip Ryan aged 55 who was from Westward Ho Detectives have charged Keith Beviss, aged 54 from Honiton with the murder of Philip Ryan aged 55 who was from Westward Ho. This development follows the police discovering the body of Mr Ryan at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Dowell Street in Honiton at around 3.50pm on June 6. "Philip was a very kind, gentle and loving husband who will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

  2. This video in german private TVstation from this May in which a cellsaver is presented and explained and a blood saving new system is proposed.


    Further a new blood saving system, namely some tubes or pipes are propagated which would save blood in the process. These pipes are smaller and only need 1/2 of human blood for the cell saver process. This is necessary in case of anemia.

    No blood bags are visible at the patients beds any longer. And there is a good reason for that! "DANGEROUS BLOOD" is the title of the video. 

    'Risks are like at a mini-transplantation: body cells go from one body to another body, well-known minor risks like infection are known, also the fights of the immune system, if ever possible it should be avoided to submit a patient such a risk" explains Prof. Patrick Meybohm who works with Prof. Kai Zacharovski.

    "Studies show that transfusions are more dangerous as assumed, after forein blood the risk of dying increases. cardiac infarction, renal failure, pneumonia, they shall even promote cancer...."

    In the case of anemia the risk to die is very high. Shifting operations to a later date is proposed. The risk is higher about the factor 5 - 13 % at an operation with anemia. To avoid this we need a blood management. PBM includes also anemia treatment with ferrum infusions. The cellsaver collects lost blood during the operation. Any blood that can be collected from machines or the cell saver itself is collected and is given back to the patient and avoidance of foreign blood. Blood loss is therefore minimal. 

    Each drop even at taking of blood samples with the special tubes / custom product need only 1/2 blood as conventional tubes. At taking of samples from a patient under intensive care it can be that over about approx. 400-500 ml blood gets lost in the process of blood sampling over a day alone for the tubes. However as the computer and machines that analyze the samples need much less blood. So something had to be done. The size of the tubes was halved with the same quality.

    Prof. Zacharovis demands from the politics that no patient should be allowed to undertake an operation with anemia. This should not happen anymore. And PBM should be a standard.

    The film demonstrates very long the following graph, which I easily found in the internet.

    The patient who was recently admitted and isolated at Lacor hospital in Gulu district, after profuse bleeding, is suffering from a bleeding disorder, medical personnel have announced.

    Dr Cyprian Opira, the executive director of the hospital says preliminary tests conducted on the patient indicate that she is suffering from lack of blood clotting factors, a condition that occurs when blood cannot clot properly.

    The patient was isolated over the weekend after being transferred from Adjumani district with complaints of bleeding from her body openings.

    Dr Opira says the hospital had a very difficult time managing the bleeding after the patient rejected blood transfusion on religious grounds. The patient is a follower of Jehovah's Witness, a religious group that bars its members from undertaking blood transfusions, donating or storing their own blood for transfusion.

    Jehovah's Witnesses' literature teaches that rejecting transfusions is an indisputable religious stand and that those who respect life as a gift from God do not try to sustain life by taking in blood, even in an emergency. To them accepting transfusion is regarded as abandoning religious doctrines.

    However, Dr Opira says that the bleeding has now subsided as the hospital waits for Ebola test results on samples taken to Uganda Virus Research Institute in Entebbe. He called for calm adding that health workers are well prepared to handle any emergency.

    The Ebola fear came barely a month after the World Health Organisation-WHO confirmed an outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to the DRC health ministry, three people had died after testing positive to the virus in the remote Likati health district.

    Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes bleeding inside and outside the body. It spreads through contact with the skin or bodily fluids of an infected animal or person. Medical experts say that the virus wrecks the immune system and damages almost every organ. To date, the disease has no cure.

    The last outbreak killed more than 11,000 when the virus swept through the West African states of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone Last year. It remains the most severe outbreak of Ebola since the discovery of Ebola viruses in 1976.

    Uganda has witnessed five Ebola outbreaks over the past 14 years which have been quickly contained through a combination of epidemiological luck and a well-coordinated response system operating at several levels of the health service.

    The most devastating was the first Ebola outbreak in Gulu in 2000 which infected 425 people and killed 224.
