�Canon Europe, world-leader in imaging solutions has proclaimed the debut in Europe of the Canon CXDI-60G, a new addition to Canon's Digital Radiography (DR) system range. The Canon CXDI-60G is a constrict, lightweight, portable model, which extends the range of examinations that can be completed victimization digital radiography equipment.
Weighing just 2.7 kg this flimsy, lightweight slim-body CXDI-60G offers an effective imaging country of 234 x 284 mm, accommodative a diverse range of applications, including the X-raying of custody, elbows, feet, and knees, among the most unwashed orthopaedic examinations. The engineering is used in a wide variety of applications including paediatric intensive charge, veterinary radiography, archaeology and forensics.
Inheriting the same compact, jackanapes, slim-body merits as its predecessor, the new Canon CXDI-60G delivers unmatched digital image quality and portability, for the flexible establishment of radiographic suites of any size or budget. The model's detachable sensing element cable, which provides power to the unit and transfers information, enables easy room-to-room installation.
The compact, portable conception makes it a practical solution for handling various applications that are hard to perform with fixed devices. These include incubators in limited care paediatric units and tabletop exams in injury and Accident and Emergency departments, where the CXDI-60G provides a unique small detector for examining a variety of extremities such as the skull and hip. The CXDI-60G is available through medical systems specialist distributors in Europe. In the UK, Xograph, a ahead independent aesculapian equipment provider and long term Canon partner, testament be supporting medical teams at the Reading Music Festival this year victimisation this solution as role of its services to festival-goers.
Canon's new CXDI-60G succeeds the popular CXDI-31, which was the world's first portable cassette-type DR system. Canon's portable DR systems were used by Egyptologists during the groundbreaking identification of the mummy Nefertiti. Using Canon equipment, the project's radiographers and scientists were able to view the skeleton of the mummified body in situ, providing the Egyptologists and human remains specialists with a powerful fresh insight into their occult subjects.
Enabling X-ray images to be confirmed on a prevue monitor roughly three seconds after exposure, the system contributes to timely and effective patient care. Additionally, Canon's proprietorship control software, which supports enhanced image-processing performance, contributes to increased diagnostic accuracy by qualification possible X-ray images optimised for the region being examined.
The CXDI-60G features an environmentally conscious design in submission with the European Union's RoHS Directive, which obligates companies to eliminate or replace sextet specified wild substances.
The Canon CXDI-60G digital radiography system*2 will go on sale in Europe in August 2008.

Institute Publishes Localised Health Information For North And The South Of The Island, Ireland
�The Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH) launched deuce datasets that can be easily used to make more comprehensive comparisons betwixt different areas of the island. The two datasets are called The All-Ireland Health and Social Care Indicator Set and Irish Health Poverty Index. They consist of 60 health-related indicators that are now available for every county in the Republic of Ireland and every local government district in Northern Ireland.
Regional comparisons can help guide national and local efforts to improve health and reduce inequalities. They can avail identify local needs, assist with planning and delivering health and social services, support national co-ordination of local efforts and help to monitor progress.
The All-Ireland Health and Social Care Indicator Set includes a add up of 16 health and social fear indicators such as spirit expectancy, premature deaths, cancer incidence and hospital admission rates. In compiling this information IPH extended an existing information collection organisation - the Northern Ireland Health Inequalities Monitoring System - previously only used in Northern Ireland. It is the first time that male person and female life anticipation has been made uncommitted at county level in the Republic of Ireland.
The second data congeal the Irish Health Poverty Index consists of 44 indicators that relate to a broader range of social, economic and environmental factors and health and social services issues that affect health. The Index includes inside information about the population's health, smoking and other lifestyle issues, lodging and social capital, once more broken down to county and local government dominion levels for the first time. In compiling this information, IPH adapted an approach previously only used in England - the English Health Poverty Index - to the island of Ireland.
The work was undertaken by Ireland and Northern Ireland's Population Health Observatory (INIsPHO) in the Institute of Public Health. Summaries of the two datasets are available on the Observatory's internet site (http://www.inispho.org) and the datasets accept been incorporated into the Observatory's information website (hTTP://www.inispho.org/edata) where anyone with access to the cyberspace can map and chart the indicators.
The Director of INIsPHO, Dr. Kevin Balanda, aforesaid: "These datasets could form the base of more comprehensive area-level health and well being profiles across the island that volition help health planners to tailor wellness and societal services to meet local needs.
"This data allows people to look at the wellness situation in their own county or in their own local government territorial dominion. We are beginning to build a picture of health at the local level allowing people and planers to see how they equate with others in their jurisdiction and across the island.
"These datasets highlighting many differences in wellness and welfare across the island, and we hope will provoke interest in why this is so, and what can be learnt from other areas that face similar issues."

- Immunisation uptake in the Republic of Ireland was more variable. In the Republic of Ireland the last average uptake was in Waterford (85%), Kildare (86%), Wicklow (86%), Dublin (87%) and Wexford (88%). In the Republic of Ireland the highest average uptake was in the midlands (Laois 98%, Offaly 98%, Longford 97%, Westmeath 97%).

Mary-Kate Takes Broadway
Mary-Kate Olsen's Tuesday night was all about Broadway.
The Olsen twin took the Great White Way by storm by taking in Cry Baby at New York's Marquis Theatre.
Arriving fashionably late at 7:08 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show with an entourage of five, which included First Daughter � and fellow twin � Barbara Bush, two guy friends, another gal pal, and a bodyguard, M-K was escorted to her center aisle seat, an eyewitness tells OK!.
"She was wearing black skinny pants, stacked black sandals, a rumpled plaid top, her hair was messy bed head and she had on heavy black eyeliner. She looked healthy," the eyewitness says.
Appearing to enjoy the show, the mogul, who turns 22 on Friday, slipped out for a quiet cigarette break during intermission.
"No one went over to bother her," the source shares. "On her way back in she told a show patron, when he asked if she was enjoying the show, 'Yeah, I am.' She was very sweet and polite and looked me right in the eye."
But before Mary-Kate took to her eat again, she made a quick stop to her favorite caffeine establishment, Starbucks, for a coffee fix, returning with a venti iced coffee drink.
"Mary-Kate returned during the first song of the second act with her entourage," the patron says. "She truly enjoyed the second act. She had a huge grin on her face, and really got into the show, laughing at jokes in the show."
Getting into the spirit of the musical, the petite blonde showed off her dancing skills during the opening of "I'm A Little Upset."
"She started clapping and dancing in her seat during the finale song, "Nothing's Bad Ever Gonna Happen Again,'" the source adds.
The actress stayed for curtain call, giving a standing ovation to the show. And don't think there was any special treatment for her!
"She exited the theater with other patrons and waited patiently as the line moved through the theater and to the escalator," the eyewitness says. "People finally started to notice her."
Once outside, with a freak windstorm whipping furniture around, Mary Kate "looked startled for a moment" before she was shepherded into her black SUV.
