  Peter Follansbee
Peter’s love of working green oak with hand tools may be what drew him to the 17th century in the first place.
Peter’s research to date has documented the Savell shop tradition in New England; his goal now is to discover the English craft tradition that produced it, and to understand the blend of styles that characterized his work.
Peter looks for answers wherever he can find them, in the written record or the objects themselves; sometimes, with research in hand, Peter goes back to his shop and tries to reproduce an object, like a Savell chest, according to his findings.

  Study confirms that stents releasing medication help keep heart bypass vein grafts open
Stents can be inserted into a grafted vein or into a native coronary artery during a balloon angioplasty procedure.
Although earlier research found that drug-eluting stents reduced scar tissue formation and re-narrowing in native coronary arteries, the new study is one of very few to focus on drug-eluting stents used in saphenous vein grafts, which pose unique challenges for cardiologists specializing in interventional procedures.
While drug-eluting stents are effective in keeping open bypassed heart veins that aren't too diffuse (filled with cholesterol plaque), a new study by cardiologists at Jefferson Medical College shows that they fare less well in keeping open bypassed veins with longer blockages.

  Heart Stents -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Stents are used on diverse structures such as coronary arteries, other blood vessels, the common bile duct, the esophagus, the trachea or large bronchi, and ureters.
Stents may consist of wire mesh alone (some stents are coated with substances which prevent an inflammatory response), and generally are eventually covered by epithelial tissue.
Stents are alleged to be named for their inventor, the English dentist Charles Stent (1845–1901), who was also responsible for a number of other innovations in medical treatment.

The stent marked a breakthrough for cardiologists, who had long sought ways to treat narrowed coronary arteries that cause heart attacks without painful open-heart surgery.
Stents are threaded into blood vessels with flexible plastic tubes known as catheters.
Around 30 percent of patients who receive stents develop a condition called restenosis, the buildup of scar tissue around the stent that recloses the artery and requires repeat angioplasty.

 Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine | Full text | Results of the Ticlid or Plavix Post-Stents (TOPPS) ...
Because of ticlopidine's slow onset of action, the administration of ticlopidine and aspirin together is no more effective than coumadin and aspirin in the first 24 h after stent placement (when pretreatment with ticlopidine is not performed) [5,12,13]; unfortunately, this is the time interval during which stent thrombosis is most likely to occur [3,4,14].
Whether the frequency of stent thrombosis is as low as, or even lower than, when ticlopidine is administered has not yet been proved beyond a doubt.
Although stent endothelialization is not complete for 2 months or more, stent thrombosis occurs predominantly in the first 2 weeks after stent placement [4,5,34].

 Vol.3 - 1. The identification of a new disease in cattle
The earliest case of BSE to be confirmed by the CPU was a cow owned by Mr Peter Stent of Pitsham Farm in Sussex (Cow 142).
From the history of the case on the Stent farm, it seemed as if the clinical course of the disease was fairly rapid in that metabolic disorders of short duration and heavy metal toxicities were being considered on the farm.
Therefore, it seemed likely that the cause(s) of the spongiform changes were a result of an acute clinical disease (rather than a chronic illness) and in the absence of a more likely aetiology, toxicity seemed to be the most appropriate category that fitted both symptoms and findings.

 Expert defends errors in first mad cow case
Gerald Wells, head of neuropathology at the Ministry of Agriculture's Central Veterinary Laboratory in Surrey, told the BSE inquiry that the significance of the case was recognised when samples taken from a dead cow were looked at again in 1987 after other incidents.
But she had not made clear that she suspected that the animal was afflicted with a condition similar to scrapie, the fatal brain disease in sheep.
Dr Wells said: "Taken in isolation and in the light of these factors, the case in September 1985 did not suggest that a new disease had been identified." BSE was not recognised as a new disease until November and December 1986.
