International Fire Fighter – International Fire Fighter Magazine is the leading global publication for municipal and industrial fire fighters and the fire and rescue industry.

02 Jun 2024  |  iffmag.com
The article highlights several key developments in the firefighting and rescue industry. Neptune Aviation Services was awarded a Multiple Award Task Order Contract by the United States Forest Service for their BAe 146 aircraft. Ziamatic introduced SURE-GRIP Hook Tool Mounting Brackets for safe storage of hook tools. The DuroStrip V5 LED Lightbar was launched, offering improved visibility and a seven-year warranty.

SARS-CoV-2 Infects Vascular Macrophages

05 Jan 2024  |  physicianfocus.nyulangone.org
Researchers at NYU Langone Health have found evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect coronary tissue, including immune cells like macrophages, which may contribute to increased cardiovascular risks in individuals with atherosclerosis. The study, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, highlights the virus's ability to infect and replicate in macrophages, particularly foam cells, leading to heightened inflammation and potential arterial plaque formation. This research provides insights into the connection between preexisting heart issues and long COVID symptoms, with plans to explore the impact of newer viral variants and vaccination.

At-Home tDCS Shows Promise for Treating Long COVID

01 Oct 2023  |  physicianfocus.nyulangone.org
An estimated 6 percent of adults in the United States are experiencing long COVID, and researchers are investigating transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a potential treatment for its neurologic symptoms. The NIH has launched the RECOVER-NEURO trial to test tDCS alongside other interventions for cognitive dysfunction related to long COVID. Leigh E. Charvet, PhD, a leading researcher at NYU Langone Health, is overseeing the trial, which aims to provide an accessible, evidence-based treatment to improve patients' quality of life. Preliminary studies suggest that tDCS, paired with rehabilitation programs, can reduce fatigue and anxiety and improve cognitive functions in people with long COVID.

Overcoming Injustice in Addiction Medicine

01 Oct 2023  |  physicianfocus.nyulangone.org
Dr. Ayana Jordan, a prominent figure in addiction medicine, has been recognized with the inaugural Award for the Promotion of Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, and Justice in Addiction Medicine by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Her work focuses on integrating cultural and structural competency into addiction care, particularly for racial and ethnic minoritized communities. Dr. Jordan emphasizes the importance of understanding external factors like immigration status, poverty, and racism in treating substance use disorders. She has established initiatives at NYU Langone and Yale New Haven Hospital to address these issues and is developing a virtual curriculum with ASAM to educate practitioners nationwide. Despite progress, significant inequities remain in addiction care, particularly for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous populations.

Corralling T Cells Inside Tumors Boosts Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Melanoma

01 Oct 2023  |  physicianfocus.nyulangone.org
Researchers from NYU Langone Health and Perlmutter Cancer Center have discovered that preventing CD8 T cells from exiting melanoma tumors can significantly enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. By blocking the CXCR4 pathway, they increased T cell retention within tumors, which, when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, arrested tumor growth in about half of the cases. This study highlights the importance of not only getting T cells into tumors but also ensuring they remain in the right place to drive effective immune responses.

Fires in Unsprinklered Buildings: Deploying Resources Proportionately

06 Jun 2023  |  FM Industry
Tom Roche of the Business Sprinkler Alliance emphasizes the need for careful allocation of fire service and water resources to protect commercial and industrial facilities from devastating fires. Recent incidents in Andover, Mansfield, and Corby highlight the challenges faced by fire services in containing large fires in unsprinklered buildings, often resulting in total destruction despite significant resource deployment. The article advocates for the use of sprinklers and other fire safety measures to enhance resilience, protect businesses, and reduce the economic impact of industrial fires.

Advancing Treatment of Bronchiectasis & Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Lung Infections

09 Mar 2023  |  physicianfocus.nyulangone.org
Bronchiectasis, marked by chronic cough and airway dilation, often leads to impaired lung function and increased infection risk. Awareness and diagnosis of bronchiectasis and NTM lung disease have improved, though treatment remains challenging. Dr. Doreen J. Addrizzo-Harris and her team at NYU Langone Health are advancing research to better understand and treat these conditions, focusing on personalized treatments and new drug trials. Emerging techniques in biomarker research aim to identify patient subtypes for targeted therapies. Promising new drugs and innovative treatments, including bacteriophages and robotic surgery, are being explored to improve patient outcomes.

Breakthrough Platform Unifies Targeted & Immune Therapies

25 Jan 2023  |  physicianfocus.nyulangone.org
Benjamin G. Neel, MD, PhD, director of NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, discusses the HapImmune platform, a technology co-developed with Shohei Koide, aimed at increasing the antigenicity of cancer-specific proteins. The platform is designed to unify targeted and immune therapy treatment approaches by creating targetable neoantigens. Aethon Therapeutics, in partnership with NYU Langone, is commercializing the technology, which is still in early development but shows promise for advancing treatments with KRAS and EGFR inhibitors.

Sportswashing and greenwashing in a global climate crisis

28 Jun 2022  |  www.offalyexpress.ie
Sportswashing and greenwashing are strategies used by companies and regimes to improve their public image despite environmental and human rights concerns. Texaco, through initiatives like the Texaco Support for Sport and the Texaco Children’s Art competition, is accused of such practices in Ireland. The article highlights the contradiction between teaching environmental sustainability in schools and accepting sponsorship from fossil fuel companies. The debate on Texaco’s greenwashing is gaining traction, with institutions like IMMA and Highlanes Gallery severing ties with the company, and individuals like Tom Roche leading the campaign against these deceptive practices.

Why installing active fire protection can improve a building’s sustainability

03 Jun 2021  |  Electrical Review
Governments are urged by the UN Environment Programme to integrate deep building renovation and performance standards into pandemic recovery packages. While sustainable construction practices focus on reducing energy demand and carbon emissions, fire resilience is often overlooked. Active fire protection, such as sprinklers, plays a crucial role in maintaining a building's sustainability by protecting reusable materials and reducing lifecycle costs. The construction industry is moving towards sustainable practices, but high-profile fire events in green-certified buildings highlight the need for improved fire safety regulations. Active fire protection systems, despite their carbon emissions, are essential for minimizing fire impact and supporting the long-term value and flexibility of buildings.
