 Customer Story: University of Chicago Hospitals
Today the University of Chicago Hospitals and Health System is a city-wide network that admits over 30,000 patients a year and its new boardroom boasts one of the city's most advanced presentation systems.
The U of C Hospitals boardroom, built in an existing facility, could have been a problematic space: it's a room that's much longer than it is wide, not dividable into smaller sections, with a somewhat low ceiling that limits the use of a projection screen large enough for everyone to see.
Just as the University of Chicago Hospitals now places itself at the forefront of medicine, the new conference room stands out as a sleek, modern testament to the newest trend in audio-visual enhancements.

It has been difficult to demonstrate relationships between the plasma concentrations and toxicity of NSAIDs in humans, although linear relations between plasma concentrations of salicylate and ototoxicity have been demonstrated and there is a correlation between the NSAID dosage and upper GI bleeding.
Although clinically apparent ulcers occur in a tiny fraction of NSAID users, given the vast number of patients exposed to NSAIDs, their toxicity to the upper GI tract represents a substantial clinical problem and is the most frequent drug side effect in the United States.
Presently, it is thought that there are at least 20,000 hospitalizations per year in the United States associated with NSAID-induced gastrointestinal toxicity and approximately 2,000 deaths resulting from major complications such as hemorrhage or perforation.
