CARLSBAD, CA, November 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Bokamoso Private Hospital, located just west of Gaborone in Botswana, has been operational since January 2010. The vision in setting up a brand new hospital was to provide specialist services and facilities not previously catered for in existing hospitals in Botswana.
"One of our unique selling points is the range of specialist services that we provide," says Gontle Moleele, the Chief Medical Officer at Bokamoso Private Hospital. Services available at the hospital include neurology, cardiology, endocrinology, haemodialysis, sports medicine, pathology and gynecology, naming just a few of a wide selection. It also offers a range of surgical procedures, including plastic and orthopedic surgery, among others. 
Moleele believes the facilities at the hospital also set it apart from its competitors. "The state-of-the-art equipment that we have is probably not available in any other hospital within this country," she explains. The equipment the hospital uses is all manufactured by leading technology companies; Draeger provides the equipment for the theatre and intensive care units, the laboratory equipment comes from Siemens and Toshiba supplies the radiology equipment and machinery. Dakin is another major supplier of the hospital, providing it with its chillers and air conditioning units. 
The strong focus the Bokomoso Private Hospital has on providing exquisite patient care, specialist healthcare services and state-of-the-art equipment has allowed the hospital to fulfill its aim of being a one-of-kind hospital and healthcare facility in Africa.

About Bokamoso Private Hospital
Currently, the hospital is medically owned and run by the Bokamoso Private Hospital Trust. The Trust is a joint venture between the Botswana Public Officers' Medical Aid Scheme (BPOMAS), a civil service medical scheme which owns 80 percent of the hospital, and the Pula Medical Aid Fund (PULA), a private sector medical aid scheme which owns the remaining 20 percent. However, the Hospital is at the moment going through a period of liquidation and is searching for a new owner, a process which is nearing completion.

Powerhouse Clothing Company (Pty) Ltd: Compound Growth in an Industry Under Siege
2011-11-22
The Powerhouse Clothing Company is one of South Africa's most flexible and innovative clothing manufacturers. The company is 100 percent dedicated to manufacturing solely in South Africa, despite a growing competition from companies in the East and cheap imports from outside SA being at all time high in the clothing industry.
As a result of Powerhouse's aim to be a wholly South African company, its supply chain is one of its most important operating focuses. "If your supply chain is not working in tandem together then everything falls apart," notes Justin Mansfield, ...
Second-generation ethanol processing cost prohibitive
2011-11-22
Costs for second-generation ethanol processing, which will ease the stress on corn and sugarcane, are unlikely to be competitive until 2020, according to a unique Queen's University study.
 "This study really lays out in black and white where we are and where we are going," says Warren Mabee, an assistant professor in the School of Policy Studies and Department of Geography. "It should prompt companies to reassess (their processes going forward)."
The researchers found that building large scale facilities for second-generation ethanol production will be more costly than ...
Lightning sprites are out-of-this-world
2011-11-22
Only a few decades ago, scientists discovered the existence of "sprites" 30 to 55 miles above the surface of the Earth. They're offshoots of electric discharges caused by lightning storms, and a valuable window into the composition of our atmosphere. Now researchers at Tel Aviv University say that sprites are not a phenomenon specific to our planet. 
	Jupiter and Saturn experience lightning storms with flashes 1,000 or more times more powerful than those on Earth, says Ph.D. student Daria Dubrovin. With her supervisors Prof. Colin Price of TAU's Department of Geophysics ...

Hydrogen peroxide provides clues to immunity, wound healing and tumor biology
2011-11-22
MADISON – Hydrogen peroxide isn't just that bottled colorless liquid in the back of the medicine cabinet that's used occasionally for cleaning scraped knees and cut fingers. 
	It's also a natural chemical in the body that rallies at wound sites, jump-starting immune cells into a series of events. 
	A burst of hydrogen peroxide causes neutrophils, the immune system's first responders, to rush to the wound to fight microorganisms, remove damaged tissue and then start the inflammation process.
	University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers now have discovered the molecular ...

Mutants with heterozygote disadvantage can prevent spread of transgenic animals
2011-11-22
Genetically modified animals are designed to contain the spread of pathogens. One prerequisite for the release of such organisms into the environment is that the new gene variant does not spread uncontrollably, suppressing natural populations. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön, Germany, have now established that certain mutations are maintained over an extended period if two separate populations exchange individuals with one another on a small scale. The new gene variant may remain confined to one of the two populations. The migration ...

Satellite data can help protect bluefin tuna
2011-11-22
A new model developed by scientists of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) allows the potential presence of bluefin tuna to be tracked through daily updated maps, helping to protect endangered stocks and fight illegal fishing. The model, based on satellite remote sensing data, provides for the first time an overall view of the preferred bluefin tuna habitats in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as their changes over time. Satellite-based habitat mapping can help identify more precisely areas to be inspected or to be closed for fisheries and it can also help ...
Public misperception about scientific agreement on global warming undermines climate policy support
2011-11-22
FAIRFAX, Va., November 21, 2011—People who believe there is a lot of disagreement among scientists about global warming tend to be less certain that global warming is happening and less supportive of climate policy, researchers at George Mason, San Diego State, and Yale Universities report in a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
	A recent survey of climate scientists conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois found near unanimous agreement among climate scientists that human-caused global warming is happening. 
	This new George Mason ...
