Healthcare providers turning to USME, leading provider of rented medical equipment and patient beds and therapeutic surfaces, to prepare for patient surges
With the CDC reportingflu cases starting to climb, healthcare providers across the U.S. are preparing for an early wave of influenza this winter. In addition to urging everyone eligible to get immunized against COVID-19 and the flu, hospitals are renting medical equipment from US Med-Equip (USME) to help treat any influx of patients expected this flu season.
The cases of respiratory illnesses caused by the flu typically start to climb exponentially in November, spike through the holiday months and peak through the end of February. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week reported “early increases in seasonal influenza activity … in most of the United States.”
Amid prolonged strain on clinical staff and budgets since COVID struck, hospitals are turning to trusted partner USME—the nation’s leading provider of rented respiratory, neonatal, infusion and other devices—to bolster their supplies of life-saving equipment before the annual flu epidemic strikes. The Houston-based company partners with top hospitals across the nation in the rental, sales, service and asset management of movable medical equipment ranging from ventilators to patient beds and therapeutic surfaces that a hospital may need to be based on the number of patients expected or admitted at the time.
“We’re all hoping for a mild season with low case numbers and as few hospitalizations as possible, but healthcare providers are not waiting for flu cases to spike before securing and servicing equipment to be ready to help any surge of patients,” US Med-Equip CEO Greg Salario said.

Residents of Cape Breton Regional Municipality and Victoria County were advised to shelter in place as a result of rising flood waters. Both municipalities declared a state of emergency due to the extensive flooding that has affected the area.
On Sunday, after-tropical storm Fiona wreaked havoc across Cape Breton, many residents awoke to uprooted trees, damaged power poles and flooded roads.
The destructive storm swept through Cape Breton on Saturday, leaving thousands without power and toppling houses with its ferocious winds.
Officials are urging folks to hunker down and call emergency services if their shelter collapses.
As cleanup efforts begin, Mayor Amanda McDougall stated that a state of emergency for the area will stay in place for seven days.
Regional municipality spokesperson Christina Lamey urges citizens not to leave their homes as downed power lines and trees litter the roads, making them dangerous. She further added, “Emergency crew has been responding to a number of calls in the municipality, including those who have lost their roofs or had trees fall on their homes”
The following images show the destruction caused by the storm:
During an invitation-only roundtable at the conference, Illumina Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Phil Febbo said: “I do believe that having a complete understanding of an individual’s cancer is the best way to provide best care for patients. It’s amazing to be in this role and at a company that’s really driving to make this available and accessible.” Four panelists at the roundtable discussed the value of CGP in case studies relating to prostate cancer, liquid biopsy, and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) detection and diagnostics.
In addition to these case studies, the doctors talked about their methods of using CGP in their practice, their distinction between testing tissue versus liquid, the challenges of attracting talent to the lab, the business of collecting and interpreting data, and the need to improve care and-most importantly-outcomes.
Dr. Nicole Pfarr, head of both the Molecular Diagnostic Unit and the Next Generation Research Facility at the Technical University of Munich, spoke about a drive to build collective knowledge: German universities and hospitals are compiling genetic data to establish a national database. With that in mind, more testing will mean more data. “We want to include more in the Molecular Tumor Board discussions,” she said. “It used to be that we would do a large gene panel and if we found something, then we would do HRD [testing]. Now we do all the testing up front. Large gene panel, HRD, translocations included. We do this for all the ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic and prostate cancer. And, astonishingly, we also find high HRD scores in sarcomas.”
While testing and generating data has been critical to developing the field of precision oncology, the data itself carries great significance from a patient perspective. “I’ve had some interesting discussions about the return of data,” said Dr. Bettina Ryll, founder of the Melanoma Patient Network Europe and former EU Cancer Mission Board member. “Some patients want the data. They can’t always tell you why or what they’re precisely going to do with it, but being in possession of one’s own data-in particular genomic data-returns some ownership of the disease and might help to cope. This ownership gives back some of the control you have lost in the cancer diagnosis, and we should not underestimate the psychological value of that. I have medical training, I have a science background, and I can tell you, when my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma I realized how much I had no clue how it is to go through it. I had always considered cancer a medical issue, but if you’re there personally you see the psychological issue is half the problem-and it hits the patient, the carers, the people who are there, and it’s huge.”
Ryll, who lives in Sweden, also urges the medical community to support greater genomic literacy among patients. “I preach a lot about the difference between somatic and germline,” she said. “One of the first questions I always get is ‘Is it possible I have passed this on to my children?’ People are very worried and experience huge feelings of guilt. We have a responsibility toward our patients to lessen their burden and make an effort to teach and contribute to the general education.”
Dr. Joaquin Mateo, an oncologist and research leader at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology in Barcelona, also emphasized the patient experience: “One of the problems is that the infrastructure for precision medicine has been set up from hospitals based on the particularities of the hospital, not the particularities of the patient. They may have to travel, for example, or sometimes their data will need to be accessible from afar to be assessed by other professionals. We need to prepare easy pathways for patients who may need to receive testing, counseling, and treatment in different places.” He stressed the need to put the patient at the center and organize the rest of the infrastructure around them.
“Melanoma is obviously close to my heart,” said Ryll, whose husband was diagnosed with it in 2011 and died a year later. “At the time we had a survival of 5% for five years, now we are at 50%. It sounds great, but it means we still lose one out of two patients. For us, precision medicine is one of those fields that offers a lot of hope.”
National report finds increasing numbers of Pennsylvania schools are reaping the benefits of going solar as new federal funding and assistance become available
According to a new national report on schools’ adoption of solar published last week by nonprofit Generation180, Pennsylvania ranked 11th in the nation for the amount of solar installed by its K-12 schools, climbing up from 13th place two years ago. Since 2020, the amount of solar installed by Pennsylvania schools more than doubled from 14.5 MW to 29 MW, enough clean power to reduce carbon dioxide emissions equal to taking 5,000 gas powered vehicles off the road.
In the report, Brighter Future: A Study of Solar on K-12 Schools, 4th edition, Pennsylvania ranked 20th in the country for the number of schools with solar. The Commonwealth jumped up five spots in the rankings in two years due to 70% growth in the number of solar schools since 2020, rising from 63 to 107 solar schools.
The growth of solar adoption by Pennsylvania schools reflects the national trends reported on by Generation180. Since 2015, the amount of solar installed by nationwide K-12 schools has tripled and the number of schools with solar has doubled. Today, over 6 million students now attend more than 8,400 schools nationwide that utilize solar power. Solar energy offsets electricity at nearly 1 in 10 (9%) K-12 schools in the United States.
Across the country, schools with budgets of all sizes are going solar through third-party partnerships that remove the barrier of upfront costs and help schools see immediate energy cost savings. The report found that 87% of solar power installed at U.S. schools was funded through these third-party arrangements and the remainder was purchased and owned directly by schools. Generation180 found that the use of third-party ownership to fund solar projects for schools is also growing in Pennsylvania. Between 2020-2022, nearly three-quarters of solar capacity installed at statewide schools used this funding mechanism that requires little-to-no upfront costs for schools.
“Pennsylvania is poised to become a leader in solar adoption by schools,” said Shannon Crooker, Pennsylvania Director of Generation180. “Over the past two years, school districts across the state have doubled down on solar energy to balance their budgets and save millions in long-term energy costs. Now is the time for all Pennsylvania schools to access the financial, educational, and community benefits of going solar.”
The report findings come at a time of unprecedented momentum and historic federal investment in clean energy that will accelerate solar adoption by schools. The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will set up a $500 million fund that will be distributed as grants for energy upgrades at public schools. The new Inflation Reduction Act allocates $369 billion towards building a clean energy economy and enables schools and other tax-exempt entities to receive a direct payment valued at 30% of the cost of a solar energy project.
Generation180 has recently announced free resources to make it easier for Pennsylvania schools to switch to solar. Through a partnership with Pennsylvania Solar Center, schools can enroll in the G.E.T. Solar for Schools program and receive free technical assistance and guidance through every step of the solar procurement process.

A building was demolished in Taiwan due to earthquake
Taiwan is hit by a devastating earthquake on Sunday. Which collapsed one building and trapped two people inside while also toppling part of a passenger train’s tracks at a station.
The magnitude 6.8 tremor was the largest of dozens that have shaken the island’s southeastern coast since Saturday night when a lesser quake occurred in the same location.
According to Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau, “The earthquake’s center was in the town of Chishang, at a depth of 7 kilometers (4 miles) and tremors could be felt across Taiwan.” A tsunami warning has been issued after this strong earthquake. The earthquakes destroyed train carriages and a building collapsed, prompting rescue workers to try rescuing people trapped beneath the rubble.
After the quake, the US Tsunami Warning Centre issued a tsunami warning in Taiwan. Hazardous tsunami waves were possible within 300 kilometers of the epicenter along Taiwan’s coasts.
