The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs is facing a $2 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estate of one of 36 residents who died at the state-run veterans home in LaSalle during a fall coronavirus outbreak.
Therapy with New Biosealant can Improve Healing After Injury
Written by AZoMApr 12 2021
According to a recent animal-based study performed by scientists from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, a novel biosealant therapy could help stabilize injuries that cause the disintegration of
cartilage tissues, opening the door for a future fix or even better start working directly with new cells to improve healing.

Our research shows that using our hyaluronic acid hydrogel system at least temporarily stops cartilage degeneration that commonly occurs after injury and causes pain in joints. In addition to pausing cartilage breakdown, we think that applying this therapy can present a surface that is ‘sticky’ for cells, such as stem cells that are routinely injected into joints to counteract injury. This reinforcing hydrogel could actually synergize with those cells to create a

Attorneys today filed suit on behalf of the family of 90-year-old Richard Cieski, Sr., a Korean War veteran who died in November 2020 following exposure to the novel coronavirus at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home.
The facility was negligent in failing to protect their husband and father from the virus, the family says, citing the facility’s apparent lack of precautions or preparation from the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020 to the start of the November outbreak that ultimately resulted in the death of 36 residents.
Mr. Cieski died on November 15, 2020, having been exposed to the virus during that outbreak.
New Biosealant Can Stabilize Cartilage, Promote Healing After Injury

Newswise PHILADELPHIA A new biosealant therapy may help to stabilize injuries that cause cartilage to break down, paving the way for a future fix or – even better – begin working right away with new cells to enhance healing, according to a new animal-based study by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Their research was published in

FOR what they have done this we will do the simple reason all Australians must ensure the legacy of commemoration continues this Anzac Day.
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Darren Chester said Anzac Day was the most sacred day of commemoration on the Australian calendar and a time for reflection to remember the service and sacrifice of all Australian service personnel who have served the nation for over a century.
“As Australians we grow up learning about the Anzac tradition and recognise those who have served and provided us with the freedoms we enjoy today,” Mr Chester said.
