After an initial letter asking me to take part in a COVID-19 antibody testing research study, this kit arrived yesterday. So this afternoon I read the enclosed leaflets, opened the kit and did the test. The result was negative. Afterwards I had to answer a long list of questions in an online questionnaire - the hardest part! - but now I know that there's a fair chance I haven't had coronavirus. The test isn't 100% accurate at an individual level so it doesn't necessarily mean I haven't contracted it, but I hope the test and my answers will help research into fighting the disease.
A primary mission of this aircraft--a hurricane hunter--is taking measurements in hurricanes to improve predictions and scientific understanding. But these photos were taken during the Southeast Nexus (SENEX) research study of air quality and climate in the Southeastern United States. The aircraft was the centerpiece of the study--filled with scientific instrumentation to analyze gases and small particles. The field study was organized and supported by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration in conjunction with a number of partners. Other photos in this series show details of the aircraft.
These photos were taken in Smyrna, Tennessee.

In spring, the foliage around the NIH Clinical Center blooms. Currently there are about 1,600 clinical research studies in progress at the here. Medical discoveries made here include: development of chemotherapy for cancer, the first use of an immunotoxin to treat a malignancy (hairy cell leukemia) and the first gene therapy.
This view illustrates some of the research capabilities of the aircraft. (See notes on the photo.)
The striped probe projecting forward from the nose is a mounting platform for a gust probe (turbulence probe). The probe provides detailed measurements of winds in all three directions. No probe was installed for this flight.
The black radome under the belly is for a C-band weather radar than can provide a 360 degree view. This radar is typically used during hurricane flights.
The pod under the starboard (right) wing is for a system that captures air samples in canisters. Another photo show shows the contents of the pod. Wing-mounted instrumentation such as this augments what can be carried in the cabin.
The inlets visible on the starboard side of the fuselage over the wing collect air samples for scientific instruments in the main cabin.

Most of the atmospheric chemistry instrumentation on the WP-3D for this study analyze gases and small particles while the aircraft is flight, typically measuring concentrations and particle characteristics at least once per second for the duration of the flight. However, some chemical compounds in the air cannot readily be measured "on-the-fly." To measure some of those compounds the system shown here collects air samples in canisters to be analyzed on the ground.
This sample collection system is contained in a pod under the starboard (right) wing. It holds 72 small canisters. During flight, an operator in the main cabin pushes a button when she or he wants to collect an air sample, for instance when the aircraft is flying through a concentrated area of air pollution. A valve opens for a few seconds and collects ambient air in a canister. A different canister is used for each sample. On the ground, the rack of canisters is removed and taken to a mobile laboratory in a hanger at the airport. There the concentrations of a number of chemical compounds in each canister is measured.

Depending on who you talk to, she's either dying -- or she isn't.
We saw the cardiologist today. He listened to her heart and prodded her stomach. He then looked at me confidently and said, "We can fix her." He said this with all the assurance of knowing he's one of the city's top doctors. A man who is in perfect health, who runs several miles a day and eats only lean meat and fish, who went to the very best schools and has a successful practice. There are no diapers in this man's world. He put an expensive pacemaker into Ginny's chest and he is determined to see that she gets full value from it.
He thinks she's over-medicated. But of course the only medications he wants to cut back are dementia meds. Not cardio meds. Cardio meds are important. Dementia meds... pfft. They're practically placebos.
We've had this discussion several times, and I've always held firm on the dementia meds. But now Ginny is slipping away, mentally and physically, and I have to be open to making changes. He cut her Lexapro in half, and cut out the Namenda and Vitamin E. I didn't see any difference with the Namenda anyway. I thought Vitamin E helped her in the early stages but that was a much higher dose (1000 iu) which has since become controversial.
I insisted on adding an antacid, Prevacid. I brought this up so many times that he finally said, "Alright, alright already! I'll write the prescription." And I made him give her a B-12 shot.
When we finally got out of there, I had to choose between getting her back to the facility in time for dinner, or getting the Prevacid filled. I took her back and sat with her while she ate. I coaxed her into eating a small bowl of soup and a few bites of casserole. We joked about whether it was tuna or chicken. "It must be chicken," she said, "because tuna would never be that dry." She drank a full can of Ensure and half a cup of coffee, and followed that with a tiny piece of cake. For lunch she'd had only a can of Ensure and half a chocolate milkshake so I was feeling good about getting some real food into her.
We walked back to her room and I started to get her ready for bed. She began to burp, then cough, then cough and gag -- and then the whole dinner came up. I almost got the trash can to her in time. Almost.
In my uneducated, purely-intuitional caregiver opinion, I think there are a couple of things going on here. I know her dementia is getting worse, and it's possible that it's interfering with her ability to eat. I know she's had problems swallowing. But I also think that she has plain old acid reflux, or maybe an ulcer. I'm not going to let go of the solvable problems until we've tried to solve them.
Our Albany Maintenance facility used traditional building materials, so we compared it to our Sisters facility in a research study that showed environmentally friendly construction methods cost about the same.
I actually got them to give me the MRI file itself, so I can pretty easily see all the different slices it took.

Even with a substantial number of clinical preliminaries accessible to malignant growth patients today, there stay numerous preliminaries that have no patients, and numerous patients who are not taken on preliminaries. According ClinicalTrials.gov there are in excess of 292,000 dynamic research considers open for patients; with 33,000 of these being studies for cancer. In any case, actually more than eight out of 10 clinical preliminaries don't complete on schedule; half of preliminaries don't meet enrollment objectives, possibly prompting fizzled preliminaries; under 1% of the US populace take an interest in clinical preliminaries, numerous patients aren't mindful that taking part in clinical preliminaries is a choice at the season of determination, and that preliminaries for malignant growth and Alzheimer's sickness experience difficulty discovering patients for their examinations. Clinical research is the most basic segment of endeavors to propel the treatment of malady – including disease – through better, progressively exact conclusions and medications. Be that as it may, looked with basically low enrolment, analysts are encountering an emergency in research and disclosure. On the off chance that you can't discover the patients, you can't run a preliminary. It's that straightforward. Scientists rely upon information from a huge number of patients to make clinical leaps forward. They have to discover those patients who are in emergency clinic beds or being found in facilities – and who are not taken a crack at preliminaries – at this moment. What remains among destinations and patients For the individuals who try to take an interest in preliminaries as clinical research locales, the troubles are likewise rich. Screening for qualified preliminary patients can be a dull and blunder inclined procedure for locales, much the same as seeking "numerous sheaves for some needles." The most tedious component is coordinating patients to the clinical preliminary's qualification necessities, regularly a manual procedure that takes a lot of work and time. What's more, increasingly complex qualification criteria make it much progressively hard to discover patients who qualify and need to take part. The look procedure requires a robotized strategy to filter through the a huge number of patients who may not be directly for the preliminary, so scientists can focus on the ones that are. Patients have blended impression of clinical preliminaries; they are worried about time and travel duties and suffering long enrolment periods when they are as of now managing troublesome conclusions and looked with dubious results. It very well may be unnerving. Tending to such worries with instruction and better data at the purpose of consideration can enable patients to comprehend and consider clinical research investment as a component of their consideration plan. A route forward To conquer these difficulties, we need to improve discussions among patients and medicinal services suppliers. To locate the correct patients, we additionally need to change the dimension of mindfulness, training and access regarding how medicinal services experts talk about clinical preliminaries with patients. A study of 2,000 doctors and medical attendants by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development found that about all doctors (91%) and most of attendants (72%) feel to some degree or entirely happy with talking about the chance to take an interest in a clinical preliminary with patients. But then doctors allude less than 0.2% of their patients into clinical preliminaries, while medical caretakers allude even less. This is the place supports, contract look into associations (CROs) and analytical site staff have a noteworthy chance to draw in social insurance suppliers as accomplices in the clinical research process. Tolerant enlisting likewise can be improved using innovation and mechanization to distinguish and coordinate qualified patients. Computerization and innovation can help clinical site work force find an abundance of data about the uniqueness of a patient populace as far as geographic area, just as an individual patient's age and sexual orientation, their sort and phase of infection, treatment history and other ailments that influence that patient's capacity to take an interest in a clinical preliminary. The correct innovation, bits of knowledge and skill can help tackle the intensity of information to significantly improve this procedure for everybody, from patrons to patients. It is fundamental that the enrollment procedure be a community oriented organization between social insurance suppliers, backers, CROs and patient promotion gatherings – all working from a focal clinical preliminary enablement stage to convey promising and enduring answers for malignant growth and other basic sicknesses, all endeavoring to improve the standard of consideration for patients all over. Their mutual mission must be to guarantee that each patient approaches the best treatment alternative, which is regularly a clinical preliminary. Accomplishing steady and practical long haul achievement in clinical research relies upon successful utilization of true proof. Through coordinated effort – and the correct innovation – inquire about groups can all the more rapidly and effectively recognize which preliminaries are directly for their patients, guaranteeing no patient is neglected for a clinical preliminary, and enabling the therapeutic network to advance today toward treatment that will spare lives tomorrow.

One youthful mother with pancreatic malignant growth saw her sickness essentially vanish. A non-smoker was determined to have Stage 4 lung disease and given a half year to live - he experienced an extra four years and ventured to every part of the globe. A young fellow got an immature microorganism embed to fix a condition that currently causes him produce sound red platelets. This was conceivable due to clinical preliminaries.
As investigation into different conditions and sicknesses increments, so too does the cash going into clinical preliminaries. Worldwide spending on clinical preliminaries is evaluated to reach $68.9 billion every year by 2025, as indicated by Grand View Research, a statistical surveying organization.
Clinical preliminaries give a chance to gain admittance to drugs or treatments not yet accessible to other people. Effective clinical preliminaries have prompted patients beating ailments or including more long stretches of valuable life. Patients have various inquiries concerning getting into a clinical preliminary.

Petrie Island (Orléans), Ontario - 'Turtle' trail - a 'turtle' trap. Note: Turtle Study in progress - we met a Masters Candidate and research assistant from U of Ottawa. They are conducting a research study on turtles in the area. Apparently, the turtles will climb the wooden structure to bask and then fall into the trap as they go back into the water. The research team checks the various traps at least twice a day to catch, measure and then release any turtles captured in the trap.

We, Alpha Opportunities Agency, would like to formally introduce ourselves to you. We were founded by two partners who are also study participants. Our founders endured financial hardship throughout their young adult lives and participated in studies as a means of income (we can visit their stories more in depth at a later time). During their time of financial hardship, an idea sparked. They decided to create a community where study participants, and others with even a remote interest in participating in medical research studies, can visit to find studies nationwide and to share guidance and tips among each other. As study participants, they are aware of the misconception or lack of understanding that the general public has of medical research studies so it was necessary for them to create our community. Our community is one that is inclusive and understands of the value of studies and study participants.
There is so much more to be said about our community and the difference that we will make so stay tuned for more!
