A man suspected in the theft of a $6,000 engagement ring and other items in Woodbridge is facing multiple criminal charges after police caught him leaving the scene of a burglary in Plainfield three days later, authorities said this week.
Thomas Deschaine, 23, of the Avenel section of Woodbridge is facing charges of burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a hypodermic needle in connection with the drug incident, said Plainfield Police Detective Leslie Hudson, who is investigating the case. Bail for Deschaine was set at $25,000; he was lodged in Union County Jail earlier this week, but on Wednesday was awaiting transfer back to Plainfield to be booked on an additional charge of credit-card theft filed in connection with the earlier incident, authorities said.
A Woodbridge police officer last Thursday was dispatched to the Verizon Wireless store at Woodbridge Center Mall on a report of theft. The officer met a 27-year-old Piscataway woman, an employee of the store, who said someone had taken several items from her purse the day before, according to a police report.
The woman said she had placed her purse in her unlocked employee locker at the start of her shift, but after work noticed that her BlackBerry cellphone had been moved from one pocket to another, the report indicated. The victim initially didn’t think anything of it, but the next day she found that her debit card, her engagement ring, a white gold necklace and her Verizon employee Android Incredible cell phone all were missing from the purse, according to the report.
An investigation revealed that a four-person construction crew was working in the store’s locker area at the time of the alleged theft, but all four workers — Deschaine being among them — denied involvement, authorities said. Deschaine and another worker also claimed to have seen a Verizon cleaning employee in the area sometime that night, the report indicated.

D. Medical Subsidiary, Spring-Set Health Solutions Ltd
D. Medical Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ:DMED)(TASE:DMED) ("D. Medical" or the "Company"), a medical device company engaged through its subsidiaries in the research, development, manufacture and sale of innovative products for diabetes treatment and drug delivery, has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has granted its subsidiary, Spring-Set Health Solutions Ltd. (formerly "Medx- Set Ltd."), 510(k) clearance to market its Spring™ Universal Infusion Sets (formerly "Lighty DD Infusion Sets") in the United States.
The U.S. insulin pump and disposables market is large and growing. According to the American Diabetes Association, approximately 26 million diabetes patients live in the United States, constituting 8.3% of its population. Of those, experts estimate that 5.4%, or 1.4 million, suffer from Type 1 diabetes and 350,000 currently rely on insulin pump therapy. A recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report estimated that 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue.
The Spring Universal Infusion Set is compatible with most insulin pumps currently available on the market. Going beyond the minimum requirements of subcutaneous drug delivery, the Spring Universal offers best-in-class features such as a hidden, auto-retractable needle, 360° connector, and smallest one-click, all-in-one inserter.
The core of the Spring Universal Infusion Set is the proprietary Detach-Detect mechanism. In the case the base of the infusion set detaches from the user's body, a blocking mechanism is triggered which, in turn, creates an occlusion. This evokes an occlusion alarm in an insulin pump. This unique feature enables exceptional reliability for continuously controlled and monitored insulin delivery, providing additional safety and peace of mind - especially for athletes and the parents of pediatric patients.
While nothing can completely eliminate the intrusive feeling of the needle's insertion in the daily experience of the person with insulin-dependent diabetes, the Spring Universal Infusion Set has a number of incomparable features specifically focused on reducing the sensation of pain and discomfort. The sensation of pain is controlled by a combination of factors - the needle thickness (gauge), needle shape, speed of insertion, vibration, and tissue friction. Clocked at 12 m/sec, the all-in-one Spring Universal Infusion Set is currently the fastest available insertion mechanism. Besides the convenience of not having to pre-cock the trigger mechanism, the two springs (one responsible for the insertion, and the other for auto-retraction of the needle) enable lightning speed and accuracy.

Nurse held over off baby’s finger
FIVE-day-old Janna Nampijja will start her life without half of her ring finger after a nurse chopped it off at Kampala Hospital on Monday.
Nampijja’s finger was cut off as a nurse was removing the plasters strapped around her hand to keep the infusion cannula in place. The infusion cannula is used to carry intravenous fluids into the body of patients receiving medication through the blood system.
Nampijja, weighing 2.4kg, was prematurely born at 36 weeks by elective caesarean section. Doctors had scheduled to discharge her after three days.
“Unfortunately after removing the feeding tube successfully, the nurse found the removal of the strapping securing the infusion cannula difficult. She decided to cut the dressing with a pair of scissors but accidentally cut off about 1/3 of the left ring finger,” a letter to the parents from Dr. Jack Luyombya, the hospital ‘s director, indicated.
The hospital asked the parents to clear the bill. After they had paid up, they then asked speak to the mother of the baby alone, to whom they broke the news and apologised.
“My wife telephoned me saying that the doctors said the baby’s finger was cut off. I immediately contacted a doctor friend seeking professional advice on whether the finger could be reattached,” Uthuman Katongole, the father of the baby, said yesterday. “However I was informed that it was too late because of the time lag after the incident,” he added.
The 40-year-old nurse, Esther Ayikoru, detained at Kira Road Police Station, said it was an accident because the baby’s finger was wrapped.
