The AIDS counselling and testing centre (CTC) at Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital (IGGMCH) is proving to be more harmful than useful. The ground outside the centre's building is littered with used needles and syringes. The authorities refuse to take responsibility for this incorrect method of disposing biomedical waste.
The CTC provides free AIDS counselling and testing to patients. The area outside this centre is strewn with infected material. This area is regularly used by relatives of patients as an access road to the only bathroom in the hospital premises. On Tuesday, a man was accidentally pricked by one of the needles while walking down the pathway.
"When my friend got pricked in the afternoon, we immediately rushed to the counselling centre upstairs. The counsellor told us it was nothing to worry about. We went to the superintendent Dr Ajay Keoliya afterwards to report the irresponsible act and he also took the issue casually," said Jitendra Singh Thakur, friend of the victim.
"I got the information really late in the day and had to leave as I had an examination the following day. Moreover, I would not be of any help since the issue is not under my jurisdiction. The centre is run by the District AIDS Prevention & Control Unit (DAPCU)," Dr Keoliya told TOI.
The sanitation officer of the hospital Suresh Jhadode too said he knew about the incident but was helpless since that area was not in his jurisdiction.
Another senior officials at the hospital went a step further, and laid the blame on the people who passed by. "Patients and their relatives have no business coming this way; this is supposed to be a wasteland," he said.
Ideally, these needles and syringes should be cut or crushed before being disposed off in the incinerator. The way they are thrown on the ground outside the building, however, they seem to have been thrown out of the window of the counselling centre. This improper disposal of potentially harmful biomedical waste poses a danger of spread of infections.
"Being educated people, we knew the probable dangers of a small prick by a discarded needle. I wonder what a poor person with not much knowledge would have done under similar circumstances," said Jitendra.
District program officer Ganesh Periyar was on leave and did not know about the incident. However, he promised quick action.
"Our lab technician has been attending a training camp for the last ten days. We can't say for sure if the needles were thrown by our staffers. We stick to the universal norms of disposing our waste safely," he said.
Lab technician Atul Jangde said he never saw such a thing. "Had I noticed the needles when I was on duty, I would have notified the seniors and asked the attendants to clear it," he said.
Fortunately, after TOI spoke to senior officials, there was an inspection in the afternoon and everything had been cleaned up when TOI went to the spot again.

Experience the Latest "Spring" Product Innovations at ADA Booth 2219
The Spring Universal Infusion Set is compatible with most insulin pumps currently available on the market. It is a multi-level system of the latest innovations in materials and miniaturized technology, where each component enhances drug-delivery assurance, while striving to enrich the user experience.
The Spring Universal Infusion Set includes: a "Detach-Detect" mechanism which enhances insulin delivery assurance by alerting the user when the set is detached from the body; a hidden, auto-retractable 28-gauge needle with a trocar tip designed to reduce pain and scarring and to minimize cannula bending potential; and a 360 degrees -connector. By simplifying the insertion process with the one-touch button push, the user and the insurance companies benefit by increasing the odds of the proper insertion on the first try.
"This is a design innovation with real value to all stakeholders in diabetes management," said Zoe Myers, a long-time insulin pump user and D. Medical's Chief Commercial Officer. "Why is the Spring Universal attractive to every insulin pump user? Ask anyone with insulin-dependent diabetes: Would you rather not look at a needle and would you like the peace of mind of knowing that your insulin is being accurately delivered?"
Spring Zone Insulin Delivery System(i)
The proprietary Intellispring(TM) technology is at the heart of the Spring Zone Insulin Delivery System functionality. The pocket pump utilizes discrete pressure compensation, drawing the energy for insulin delivery from pressure created when insulin is loaded into the disposable Spring Exclusive infusion set and its spring mechanism is compressed. This ingenious mechanism, backed by the Total Line Control(TM) (TLC) safety check system, enables failsafe operation and exceptional reliability for continuously controlled and monitored insulin delivery.
Intellispring(TM) utilizes spring energy as the driving force for insulin delivery. The elimination of motor and gear train results in performance and cost advantages, increased service lifetime and reliability, and substantial weight reduction and size miniaturization. Other key innovative features of the Spring Zone insulin pump include superior blockage and detachment detection, environmental (pressure and temperature) adaptability and continuous insulin dose delivery check.
Spring Hybrid Patch Pump(i)
The innovative Intellispring(TM) technology that has been implemented in D. Medical's Traditional ADI Insulin Pump system has now been transformed into the world's first ever "hybrid" continuous insulin delivery system. It is hybrid because it can be worn either as a patch pump or a traditional, durable insulin pump.
"Our new Spring Hybrid Patch pump is revolutionary in a number of ways," said Hezkiah Tsoory, D. Medical's Chief Operating Officer. "Among the inherent technology features are the smallest increments in insulin therapy, the alert at any possible blockage event and the unique air bubble detection system. Going beyond that, this new product provides the user with the greatest lifestyle flexibility by allowing an alternative between having tube-free insulin delivery on a skin-patch, or using it as the smallest available traditional insulin pump. The flexibility of this IPX 8 water-tight device goes even further. Our pump can be used with or without a dedicated remote management tool. The remote unit also serves as a blood glucose meter. Finally, the Spring Hybrid Patch Pump offers a brand new industry level of environmental friendliness. The device is comprised of a multiple-use, long-lasting control element that clasps on a single-use drug reservoir. No electronic elements, soldering material or batteries are being disposed of; the only waste consists of a tiny plastic cartridge. This energy-saving, motorless system may run for about thirty days on a standard AAA battery."

Clean River Project moving from Methuen to Haverhill for cleanup
After hauling 17 tons of debris and brush out of the Merrimack River over the last couple of months — not to mention 700,000 wayward plastic disks from a Hooksett, N.H., sewer treatment plant — it is time to move on, says Rocky Morrison.
The founder and president of Methuen-based Clean River Project Environmental Patrol said that while the group will continue collecting debris and the occasional sewer disks, the bulk of his non-profit operation will be moving downstream to Haverhill to start a project that began last fall of cleaning up the riverbank there.
Morrison, with the help of other volunteers and a host of corporate and municipal partners, over the weekend began moving storage containers, equipment and floating booms used to catch debris, from the makeshift headquarters behind Hughes Motors on Riverside Drive in Methuen to the Crescent Yacht Club in Haverhill.
If the work in Haverhill is as successful as the work along the Methuen stretch of the river, the riverbanks below Lawrence should start looking pretty pristine before too long.
Last week, Morrison spent a few hours on the river in Methuen, working with one of his volunteers who operated the SS Jenny Jones pontoon boat to corral the floating booms along the edge of the river. The booms encircled a tangle of garbage and debris — mostly tree branches and tree trunks — that had been collected in recent weeks.
"We had 12 booms in place at various locations on the river," said Morrison, as two employees from Enpro Environmental stood knee-deep in the river, hauling out debris and putting it up onto land.
"It's amazing what we collect," he said. "We find dead animals, hypodermic needles, appliances, and huge logs. We pull everything out of here."
As if on cue, he pointed to a dead turtle resting upside down on a piece of wood. A red cooler bobbed nearby. Bottles — both plastic and glass — floated amid the mess, as did huge pieces of Styrofoam.
Morrison said he has been working with the city of Methuen, and Enpro, which has a contract with Hooksett to remove the disks, on clearing the river since the disks first started showing up in March. Millions of them washed out of a defective sewer treatment plant and floated down the river and out to sea. They have been found up and down the Atlantic seaboard, as well as along the river from New Hampshire to Newburyport.
While Enpro is collecting the disks, Morrison's group collects everything else, placing it in Dumpsters or enormous piles for removal by Casella Waste Systems of Salem, N.H. The wood collected by the booms is sorted by size and given away as firewood once it's dry, Morrison said.
"Everything is separated and recycled," Morrison said, after he drove the Bobcat he uses in his construction business into the river and pulled out an enormous tree trunk — probably 20 feet in circumference.
He said his group has once again partnered with Casella as well as with Team Haverhill and Windfield Alloy Inc., for the riverbank cleanup in Bradford and Haverhill. He said he would leave two booms in the Methuen stretch of the river to continue collecting the disks, along with one of the group's four pontoon boats. But that the rest of booms, and everything else — including the three more pontoon boats — are being moved to Haverhill.
Casella Assistant General Manager John Augusta said his company began working with Morrison in Methuen and will continue working in Haverhill.
"We are supplying the rolloff containers and the trucking for free as a donation," he said. "We decided to give the community a hand. We'll be moving on to Haverhill with Rocky."
Morrison said that Team Haverhill offered $10,000 to hire his group to spearhead the cleanup.
"We'll be in Haverhill all summer," he said, "taking out trees, refrigerators, appliances and other stuff stuck in the mud and along the edge of the river."
The city of Haverhill will be taking the trash and appliances, much like the city of Methuen did.
"If we didn't have support from Methuen, we couldn't do this," he said. "In this business, you need to create partnerships."
Eric Karlstad, vice chairman of Team Haverhill, said his group thought it was important to clean the river after last summer's drought created low water in the river, which exposed tons of debris along the edge.
"Team Haverhill made a donation last year to ensure we had Rocky's group and all his volunteers to help doing the cleanup," Karlstad said. "He knows what he's doing. We have a lot of confidence in him."

Two Arrested After Allegedly Found With Heroin in Vehicle
After police allegedly found a number of hypodermic needles, a small quantity of heroin and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle of a Newtown woman, she, along with her 25-year-old passenger were arrested on drug charges in Butler Monday.
Ashley N. Labar, 20, of Newtown, the driver of the vehicle, was charged with possession of heroin, unlawful possession of a hypodermic syringe, failure to maintain a lane, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle and issued a violation for improper installation of a rear view mirror. The passenger of the vehicle, Henry R. Fedder, 25, of Franklin, was charged with possession of heroin, unlawful possession of a hypodermic syringe and failure to wear a seatbelt.
Police said they stopped the vehicle near the intersection of Boonton Avenue and Route 23 North after they allegedly noticed the driver driving erratically and the passenger not wearing a seatbelt. Police said Ptl. Jarred Schmiedhauser noticed the passenger allegedly moving as if they were attempting to hide something while speaking to Labar.
Upon further investigation, police said they allegedly noticed the hypodermic needles.
Both were arrested and transported to the Butler police station. Bail was set at $10,000 for both with a 10 percent option, although police said neither were able to post bail and were transported to the Morris County Correctional Facility. The Butler Police Department was also assisted by the Kinnelon Police Department in the arrest.

Affordable Acupuncture opens its doors in Norwalk, CT
Affordable Acupuncture of CT has relocated after its successful first year in Stamford to Norwalk at 152 East Ave. Founded by Jody Eisemann, Licensed Acupuncturist and former president of the Connecticut Society of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CSAOM), the clinic is the first of its’ kind in Fairfield County to offer acupuncture at an affordable price. Eisemann says the key to making it affordable is treating patients all together in a group setting, as it’s done traditionally around the world, which allows many more people to take advantage of this highly effective and ancient healing art.
“It’s actually been a dream for a long time,” says Eisemann. “I am very interested in the community acupuncture movement, which aims to make acupuncture available and at an affordable price to anyone.”
At her new location Eisemann is able to treat up to 3-4 people at one sitting, providing each with a full acupuncture diagnosis and treatment. She is able to treat an additional 4 to 6 people with Acu-Balance Auricular (ear) Acupuncture, a simple yet powerful treatment for stress, depression and other mood disorders. Acu-Balance treatments are inexpensive and do not require any diagnosis or intake interview as the same five points are always used.
With over 15 years of expertise successfully treating varied health conditions in her private practice in Fairfield, Eisemann has developed a special focus on quick and effective treatments for all types of pain. She notes that in China, in addition to treating specific medical conditions, most people visit the acupuncturist regularly to improve and maintain their overall well-being and as a preventative health measure.
Affordable Acupuncture of CT’s reasonable rates for acupuncture, both full treatment and just the ears, allow patients to come as often as they need to get well and stay well.
Through her clinic Eisemann hopes to reach out to anyone who has been told there is no solution, or they should learn to live with it, or assist those individuals who want an alternative to taking pharmaceuticals and/or surgery.
Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as an effective treatment for nearly four dozen conditions including acute and chronic conditions, stress and emotional disorders, women’s health issues (menopause, PMS, irregular menses, infertility, etc), digestive issues, post chemotherapy and radiation issues and sports injuries. Acupuncture can also provide remedial and preventative care for seasonal colds and allergies.
Eisemann explains that, unfortunately, many people have unfounded misconceptions about acupuncture, which prevent them from experiencing the medicine’s many proven benefits.
“Do the needles hurt?” she says. “Not really. The needles are like flexible cat whiskers and their ends are rounded and not sharp.” She adds that acupuncture needles are so fine you can fit almost 25 of them into one regular hypodermic needle. This is because the acupuncture needles are intended to stimulate, not to cut, as the hypodermic needles are designed to do.
