Research At Risk: Life-Saving Heart Pumps For Babies

[0311]

On a lab bench in the basement of Weill Hall, a tiny device silently pumps fluid through a series of tubes and vessels that mimic the human heart. It has the potential to save the lives of tens of thousands of babies with heart defects.

After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

ut after receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the project’s future is uncertain.

On March 30, the U.S. Department of Defense accepted a proposal to prepare the device for in-human clinical trial, ramping up manufacturing and obtaining regulatory approvals. A week later, the researchers got word that the funding – $6.7 million over the course of four years – wasn’t coming.

Felon47 is suppose be all about the "Right To Life". Yet, he is more than willing to let babies with a heart condition die. Where will so-called "Pro-Life", types come down on this. Will they support this baby killing move or will they stand they stand up in anger and demand he restore funding?

Not sure how baby heart pumps fall under the DoD, but there are probably businesses in America that would help research and patent the device and sell it to the medical industry. I maybe wrong, but I am sure this in an option, government money should not be the first option.

Sad news.

But then again republican hate children after they have been born.

If the project is worthy and clean they can request the funding get re-instated.

With so much bloat being cut through, good research can be included in the cutting.

Also why is this being run by the Department of Defense?

Probably through DARPA. The DOD does a lot of medical research that may be later applicable to soldiers in the field.

Infant artificial hearts?

We already have adult ones, wouldn't they be more applicable to use on Soldiers?

Progs get a lot of mileage with that agenda. You care not how people act. And have changed the rules of living to fit your needs and wants. And whole civilizations are affected negatively with the social success covering the decline in front of the decline. And children. You kill them in gestation and out of it at a good clip. For they are offerings to the demons.

I have no idea. Probably a new type of technology - more compact, less support intensive, more reliable.

EDIT: Looks like its a portable setup vs. a fixed setup. Given the lesser cost I could see why they fund the grant.

Infant Heart-Assist Device Gets New Life with $4.7M Grant

The Center for Disease Control estimates that roughly 40,000 infants are born with congenital heart defects (CHDs) each year. Among that population, 25 percent are critical cases that require cardiac surgery. The waitlist for a heart transplant continues to grow; yet, the only FDA-approved...

A baby heart pump being used for soldiers in the field? I guess.

Better than depending on hate like you kids do.

Why was the funding held up?

This only proves there is no "Right To Life", killing babies to help for tax cuts for the richest one percent. Fuck that.

It would take 20 minutes to determine its worth.
