Infrared thermometer on the wall (iThermowall): An open source and 3-D print infrared thermometer for fever screening – Docwire News

The iThermowall is a low-cost non-contact thermometer, adapted for the use of fever screening in public areas without an operator. The hardware can measure human body temperature automatically when the distance between the sensor and forehead is adequate. Temperature measurement validation of the iThermowall was conducted by T-test analysis. The results show that the P-values for all the test is more significant than 0.05, means that the mean Celsius temperature for both groups (reference thermometer and iThermowall) are similar. This article provides the 3-D printable open-source and the full source code firmware for the developing and under-resourced communities.

Spider-Man-style medical gun spins out ‘skin substitute’ for burns | Medical research | The Guardian

Doctors in Europe and Israel have begun using a medical gun that spins out a protective web to cover burns and wounds, hoping the breathable “skin substitute” will help patients recover without the need for painful bandage changes.

Nanomedic, the Israeli company that designed the Spincare system, claims its device gives patients increased mobility – often essential for burn rehabilitation – and the ability to shower, a process that can be difficult with traditional bandages. The translucent layer it produces allows medics to examine the wound without touching it, the firm says.

Colchester Hospital: Covid deniers removed from ‘at capacity’ hospital – BBC News

Mr Hulme said hospital security had to “remove people who were taking photographs of empty corridors and then posting them on social media, saying the hospital is not in crisis”.

“When you’ve got that sort of social media pressure and those people denying the reality of Covid it really concerns us. Words fail me,” he said.

“Why would people do that when we all know somebody who has died from Covid?

“Of course there are empty corridors at the weekend in outpatients, because that’s the right thing to do.

“We are facing the biggest health challenge we’ve ever seen and we are still seeing people flouting the [social distancing] rules.”

Under coronavirus pandemic restrictions on social distancing, many outpatient consultations had been moved online or were taking place over the telephone, he added.

Physical appointments, tests and procedures had been organised differently to avoid crowded waiting areas.

$axon Laws – English History

The loss of an eye or of a leg appears to have been considered as the most aggravated injury which could arise from an assault, and was therefore punished by the highest fine, or fifty shillings. To be made lame was the next most considerable offence, and the compensation for it was thirty shillings. For a wound that caused deafness, twenty five shillings. To lame the shoulder, divide the chine-bone, cut off the thumb, pierce the diaphragm, or to tear off the hair and fracture the skull, were each punished by a fine of twenty shillings. For breaking the thigh, cutting off the ears, wounding the eye or mouth, wounding the diaphragm, or injuring the teeth so as to affect the speech, was exacted twelve shillings.
