We need one of two things: smaller trucks or larger overpasses.
At least, that seems to be the case in Chatham Borough, where too-tall trucks seem to have a habit of trying to squeeze through too-small spaces—one in particular.
Chatham Borough Police said this past week a truck suffered extensive damage after the driver tried to cross under the train overpass on Watchung Avenue. But that tidbit probably didn't feel like news to a lot of people in Chatham.
After all, back in mid-May, Chatham Patch ran a similar article: Truck Strikes Watchung Avenue Overpass. And just a few weeks before that:Trucks Strike Railroad Overpass on Watchung Avenue. That's right—trucks. Plural. In that story, two trucks had hit the overpass in 48 hours.
But wait, there's more:
In April, a truck driver was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, after ... you guessed it ...allegedly striking the Watchung Avenue overpass.
And in February, a truck struck the overpass, spilling large pipes onto the road.
We even found an awfully familiar story from last July.
One of our commenters offered a suggestion as to why this keeps happening: "Maybe the signage is not written in truckdriver-ese."
Each Monday, Patch takes a peek at some of the more surprising, shocking, stunning and occasionally silly police-related incidents reported throughout New Jersey for "OMGs from NJ PDs." Some of the other reports:
We Don't Like Their Style, But We Do Like Their Taste: Livingston police said some shoplifters and their friends had their eyes on some very expensive prizes recently. They're accused of fleeing a designer boutique with two Hermès purses—together worth $17,300. The handmade purses are often carried by A-List celebrities—but if you're going for high-end class, you should more carefullypick and choose who among the rich and famous you mimic.
Is that a Needle Down Your Pants, Or ... A 28-year-old Ogdensburg man was arrested after, police said, they found 47 decks of heroin and a hypodermic needle in the crotch of his pants. We're going to limit the commentary on this one to: Ouch! Ouch! Yowza! Ouch!
No, No, You Only Have to Deliver the Letter: Warren police tell us that they stopped by Winding Ridge Way to investigate a fairly strange report of criminal mischief. Someone had uprooted a mailbox from the ground, and apparently thrown it, damaging a light post. What's more, someone had thrown a neighbor's mailbox as well, police said. That's a special delivery the street could have done without.

In the five-center study to be published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
“…Performing an EUS-guided biopsy with the new histology needle was feasible and safe for histopathology diagnosis of intraintestinal and extraintestinal mass lesions in this consecutive series of patients,” said the study in its conclusion. “It offers the possibility of obtaining a core sample for histological evaluation in the majority of cases, with an overall diagnostic accuracy of over 85 percent.”
Dr. Julio Iglesias-Garcia, the lead investigator of the study and associate faculty member at the University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, Gastroenterology department said, “the 19-gauge EchoTip ProCore needle by Cook Medical improves what is already an incredibly valuable diagnostic tool. The needle allows pathologists to sample a variety of lesions without compromising diagnostic accuracy, which could lead to earlier detection of GI malignancies.”
EUS is an established procedure for diagnosing GI cancers and determining the stage of their development. Most often, a very fine needle is used—but fine-needle aspiration (FNA) can have limited yield and sensitivity for certain kinds of tumors or in some anatomical locations and only procures a cytological sample.
The EchoTip ProCore needles circumvent this limitation by obtaining intact tissue samples2, allowing for a histological diagnosis rather than conventional cytological diagnosis based on individual cells. In addition to this advantage, the needles are designed to access difficult-to-reach tissue in areas of the GI tract such as the pancreatic head.
In the five-center study to be published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the 19-gauge EchoTip ProCore retrieved adequate histological tissue samples in 89.5 percent of cases, and subsequent diagnosis proved accurate in more than 85 percent of total cases. The overall accuracy for detecting malignancy in EchoTip ProCore samples was greater than 92 percent. Moreover, 78 percent of the samples were collected with just one pass of the needle; in FNA, the recommended number of passes can be as high as seven. Researchers studied 109 patients with 114 intestinal lesions and/or peri-intestinal lymph nodes.
“Cook Medical’s EchoTip Ultra® line of needles are the world’s leading endoscopic ultrasound needles and are widely used for obtaining cytological and histological samples by EUS,” said Barry Slowey, global business unit leader for Cook Medical’s Endoscopy division, the industry’s only full-line supplier of endoscopic devices. “We’re proud to advance the technology in obtaining histological yields with the new EchoTip ProCore and further aid physicians in the early diagnosis and treatment of GI disorders.”
