(Press-News.org) Charles Parks Richardson, MD, has been elected as a Board Member of the Society for Disaster Medicine and Public Health.
Dr. Richardson is an American physician who is both an accomplished physician and a medical innovator. He has not only been the inventor of several medical devices and pharmaceutical processes but has translated these into successful business ventures in partnership with such prestigious organizations as the American Heart Association.
He is currently the CEO of Critical Medical Infrastructure (CMI), KRS Global Biotechnology, and GeneRx, which includes an FDA registered 503B compounding pharmacy outsourcing organization that supplies pharmaceuticals to all 50 states. In addition, Dr. Richardson is internationally recognized for his global health advocacy. Among his nationally and internationally recognized achievements are the co-founding of both Cleveland Heart (in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic and TransWorld Med.), focusing on total heart replacement and ventricular assist devices, and Intelliservices Inc. which offers both the deployment of remote electronic medical records, and the wireless monitoring of implanted medical devices via the Internet (now owned by Medtronic).
Dr. Richardson's current interests are in addressing pharmaceutical stockpiling and supply chain issues (in partnership with the University of Georgia) as well as development of an Inventory Management supply chain module within ViiMed, a leader in no-code healthcare information technology solutions. These initiatives will greatly enhance our Preparedness and Response posture and our ability to better deal with the full spectrum of Public Health Emergencies both domestically and globally. Dr. Richardson clearly brings much-needed expertise to the Society in accomplishing our primary mission of improving Global Health Security.

Large, real-world study compares modern treatment options for pulmonary embolism (REAL.PE)
2023-10-24
SAN FRANCISCO – A large, modern real-world analysis published today in the Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (JSCAI), provides vital insights into the safety of novel therapies including ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) that have been developed to address the increased morbidity and mortality of elevated risk pulmonary embolism (PE). Findings were presented today at TCT 2023.
Pulmonary embolism is a potentially life-threatening condition where a blood clot embolizes to the lungs, obstructing ...
NSF FABRIC project announces groundbreaking high-speed network infrastructure expansion
2023-10-24
The NSF-funded FABRIC project has completed installation of a unique network infrastructure connection, called the TeraCore—a ring spanning the continental U.S.—which boasts data transmission speeds of 1.2 Terabits per second (Tbps), or one trillion bits per second. FABRIC previously established preeminence with its cross-continental infrastructure, but the project has now hit another milestone as the only testbed capable of transmitting data at these speeds—the highest being twelve times faster than what was available ...
More animal welfare or more environmental protection?
2023-10-24
Which sustainability goals do people in Germany find more important: Animal welfare? Or environmental protection? Human health is another one of these competing sustainability goals. A team of researchers from the Department of Agricultural and Food Market Research at the University of Bonn have now found that consumers surveyed in their study would rather pay more for salami with an “antibiotic-free” label than for salami with an “open barn” label that indicates that the product promotes animal welfare. The results have now been published in the journal “Q Open.”
The animal husbandry sector ...

Biological fingerprints in soil show where diamond-containing ore is buried
2023-10-24
Researchers have identified buried kimberlite, the rocky home of diamonds, by testing the DNA of microbes in the surface soil.
These ‘biological fingerprints’ can reveal what minerals are buried tens of metres below the earth’s surface without having to drill. The researchers believe it is the first use of modern DNA sequencing of microbial communities in the search for buried minerals.
The research published this week in Nature Communications Earth and Environment represents a new tool for mineral exploration, where a full toolbox could save prospectors time and a lot of money, says co-author Bianca Iulianella Phillips, a doctoral candidate at ...
Adding crushed rock to farmland pulls carbon out of the air
2023-10-24
Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University found the technology stored carbon in the soil even during an extreme drought in California. The study was published in the journal Environmental Research Communications.
Rain captures carbon dioxide from the air as it falls and reacts with volcanic rock to lock up carbon. The process, called rock weathering, can take millions of years ...
