Pioneering neuroscience

Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), July 8, 2009

THE North East’s Regional Neurosciences Service currently at the NGH is one of the top units in the UK.

The many outstanding experts who work here provide a comprehensive range of specialist tests, assessments and often lifesaving procedures for all types of neurological conditions involving the brain and nervous system.

These include brain tumours, epilepsy, head injuries, multiple sclerosis, stroke and conditions affecting the spinal cord and back.

This major treatment centre will also transfer from the NGH to the RVI in the summer of 2010, meaning that this highly specialised field of healthcare will soon be housed in superb facilities with direct access to the most advanced and powerful scanning and treatment techniques available today. Clinical director for neurosciences Anil Gholkar said: “Having the neurosciences centre located so close to the new emergency department means that patients admitted as emergencies with head injuries, brain haemorrhages or suspected strokes will be seen straight away.

“The new hospital will be equipped with the state-of-theart facilities for imaging and delivery of minimally invasive techniques.

“The integrated design of the new building and close proximity of services also means that our experts will work closely together to apply the very latest and best clinical practice.”

With an advanced neurovascular suite and leading edge imaging equipment, the neuroradiological experts have the ability to provide rapid, high quality vascular imaging with exceptional anatomical detail which means patients will benefit from earlier diagnosis and treatment leading to better clinical results.

Through the integrated des-igof the building and close proximity of services the neurosciences staff will have direct access to colleagues with expertise in closely related trauma specialties, in particular spinal specialists, maxillofacial surgeons and stroke physicians – all working closely together to share the very latest and best clinical practice.

Clear emergency access to the unit was a priority during the planning stages and this has led to the creation of a “blue light” route allowing direct access from Richardson Road via a specially designed flyover for ambulance and car transport.

Furthermore, patients who have suffered life-threatening injuries or a major illness need rapid transfer to the nearest centre with the specialist services they need.

Patients can be taken by helicopter to a helipad on the rooftop of the New Victoria Wing. From here there is direct access to the resuscitation room of the emergency department, where staff await their arrival, ensuring minimum delay in receiving the specialist care and treatment they need.

FACTFILE The Newcastle Hospitals offer more nationallyaccredited specialist services than any other group of hospitals in the UK – this means that whatever your need, we have world-renowned clinicians who have expertise in just about any condition or illness you can think of. Recognised for consistently delivering high-quality patient care, we have been named for the 9th year running as one of the top 40 performing hospitals in the country by independent benchmarking firm, CHKS, an achievement matched by only four other NHS service providers.

Our hospitals would not be such a success without the endless dedication of the people who deliver our service day to day

How can I stop dandruff? Fight those embarrassing white flakes with these holistic remedies

Natural Health, April, 2007 by Adam Levey

Holistic Dermatologist

Dandruff is a reaction to Malassezia [furfur], a yeast that lives on the hair follicles. The condition can be aggravated by an overgrowth of yeast in the intestines or an insufficient amount of essential fatty acids in the diet.You can treat the flakes by killing the yeast with an antidandruff shampoo. Formulas that contain zinc work, as does Loprox, an antifungal, prescription-only shampoo. I also recommend eating more yogurt or probiotics and increasing your consumption of healthy oils, like fish oil

Starbucks whips up a breakfast food comeback

USA TODAY, August, 2008 by Bruce Horovitz

SEATTLE — Starbucks is on the brink of rolling out a serious reinvention of its breakfast food.

Details of the chain’s long-anticipated move into better-for-you food — so hush-hush that it had its own code name, Morning Source — will be unveiled today. It comes as Starbucks’ U.S. stores are struggling with drops in traffic and comparable sales growth as many cash-strapped consumers hesitate to shell out $4 for their java fix.

The more nutrition-friendly food — fewer calories, more protein, fiber and fruit — will show up Sept.3 on the breakfast menu at most of the 11,570 locations in the U.S. and Canada

SunSi Energies Signs Definitive Joint Venture Agreement

Market Wire, August, 2009

SunSi Energies Inc. (OTCBB: SSIE) announced
today that its wholly owned subsidiary, SunSi Energies Hong Kong Ltd, has
signed a definitive joint venture agreement (following the Letter of Intent
released in the June 9, 2009 news release) to form a Trichlorosilane (TCS)
production joint venture in Zibo, China.

As previously released, SunSi Energies Hong Kong Ltd will own 90% of a new
company specifically formed to own the assets, expertise and technology of
an existing Trichlorosilane production facility with a current production
capacity of 25,000 MT per year.

The new company, to be called Zibo Boayun Chemical Company Ltd, will
produce TCS, a chemical used in the production of polysilicon, an essential
raw material used during the production of solar cells for photovoltaic
(PV) panels that convert sunlight to electricity. TCS is considered the
first product in the solar PV value chain before polysilicon, and is also
the primary source of ultrapure silicon for the semiconductor industry.

This acquisition strategically positions SunSi as the first company with
focused operations specializing in TCS production to have their common
stock publicly traded in the U.S.

Under the Joint Venture agreement recently signed, all of the assets,
including permits, rights, land usage, as well as the entire labor force
and management team of the Chinese TCS producer will be transferred, upon
closing of the transaction, into the newly formed Joint Venture Company of
which SunSi Energies Hong Kong Ltd will own 90% of the equity. While, the
current name plate capacity of the facility is 25,000 metric tons of TCS
per year, SunSi has committed to double this over the next 12 months. While
this transaction is taking place, the TCS production facility continues its
normal activities.

“We are delighted to move forward with the Zibo team. They are well
respected as a TCS producer and we feel that we’ve teamed up with the best
TCS producer in China. Both teams share the same goals and we are proud of
the relationship we’ve built over the last 6 months. We can now focus on
expanding production at the current facility and focus on business outside
of China which is already coming our way,” said Mr. Michel G. Laporte,
President of SunSi Energies Inc.

About SunSi Energies Inc. (“SunSi”)

SunSi Energies Inc. aims to acquire and develop a portfolio of high quality
Trichlorosilane (TCS) producing facilities that are strategically located
and possess a potential for future growth and expansion. SunSi’s first
transaction has been launched in China through the acquisition of 90% of a
well-established Trichlorosilane facility. Relatively unknown, but
essential to the solar industry, Trichlorosilane is the main feedstock of
the solar industry, used in the production of polysilicon. With this
acquisition, it is believed that SunSi becomes the first and only “pure
play” public company in the world honed on the production of
Trichlorosilane. SunSi Energies Inc. is traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin
Board under the ticker SSIE
