CARMAT sets up new artificial heart facility in Bois-d'Arcy Paris-based artificial organ developer CARMAT has announced it will open a new production facility in Bois-d’Arcy This will be the second facility opened by the company which will be in the same vicinity as their first operations site The new facility has been reviewed by the notified body DEKRA who approved it to produce the Aeson total artificial heart a therapeutic alternative for people with end-stage biventricular heart failure also known as congestive heart failure The market potential for total artificial hearts (TAHs) is estimated to be over 200,000 units per year in Europe and the US. While the global market for cardiovascular surgery devices is estimated to reach $1,300.9 million by 2025 This expansion will support CARMART’s production capabilities to reach a production capacity of 500 hearts per year as soon as 2024 said: “The opening of our new production facility is a major achievement and I would like to thank all the teams who have worked relentlessly to ensure that it is delivered on schedule before the end of 2023 with the historical “BDA1” facility and this new “BDA2″ facility we have a high-performance manufacturing tool that is certified to produce up to 500 hearts per year from 2024 we will further develop our industrial set-up over the next few years to reach an annual production capacity of 1,000 Aeson hearts by 2027.” Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network France — In light of the French International Prison Observatory's (OIP) report published last summer on the findings of a months-long inquiry concerning access to specialist care in prison we interviewed 54-year-old Béatrice Carton chair of the French association of healthcare professionals working in the prison service (APSEP) on her experience working in a detention center Having a wealth of experience in the prison service who practices as an independent physician at the Bois-d'Arcy detention center and at the Versailles women's detention center explained how prison doctors work in the prison service She also discussed access to care during the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulties in recruiting new prison doctors she described her position as "a fantastic job" and explained why Medscape: How did you come to work as a prison doctor Carton: I initially worked in the medical department in a hospital as a resident also providing cover as a GP in the community on several occasions Like many of my colleagues working in the prison service Our role is to be independent physicians working in healthcare units in the prison service I said I'd give it a go for a few years and here I am Medscape: What did you think when you first entered a prison Carton: You have to remember how you felt when you first set foot in a prison otherwise it's hard to understand how some of our patients must feel There are lots of noises that are different from the ones you might hear outside prison: keys and doors clanking The inmates often talk to each other from one end of the prison to the other by shouting Our aim is for this space to be seen as a hospital and not a prison Medscape: What types of prison do you work in Carton: I work in the Bois-d'Arcy detention center and at the Versailles women's detention center in Yvelines These facilities house inmates who've been given a short sentence prisoners on remand and those who've been handed a long sentence who are awaiting a place in a centrally based prison This situation isn't unique to Bois-d'Arcy the occupancy rate at the Bordeaux detention center is 220% overpopulated prisons result in psychiatric problems Medscape: When a prisoner arrives at the detention center what sort of medical care does he or she receive Carton: They're routinely offered an appointment with a medical professional In this "arrival phase," the inmate will see a nurse The aim is to find out about his or her current state of health to arrange any follow-up appointments if necessary and to direct them towards any specialist care Carton: When a person is transferred from one facility to another we transfer his or her medical records to the doctor (not to the prison administration) for continuity of care we try to give them as many documents as we can so that they can continue their treatment on the outside the concern is that inmates may leave overnight without any notice When prisoners are sent back into the community without any support from the prison service Medscape: What are the main healthcare problems you deal with Carton: Psychiatric conditions are overrepresented. There are also very high rates of anxiety and trauma. Due to our patient population, we often deal with addiction problems Our patients have the same conditions as those seeing their family physician in the community Medscape: If an inmate requires a specialist consultation Carton: An ophthalmologist is available in my department every fortnight I have to see the patient externally in my affiliated hospital in Versailles Medscape: The OIP recently reported that prisoners may have to wait several months before seeing a specialist Carton: Wait times depend on which specialist physicians are available in the prison service sector But it's true that in prison we have some specific difficulties Once we know a patient requires a specialist consultation we have to get together a team of prison wardens who are available to accompany them stay with them for as long as the hospital appointment takes and then take them back again This is a relatively dignified process for the prisoner depending on how dangerous he or she is and on the wardens accompanying them most prisoners don't want to walk down a hospital corridor surrounded by prison wardens wearing handcuffs or possibly even shackles around their ankles which ultimately means that they forgo any treatment they could have received Medscape: The OIP reports particular difficulties with accessing gynecology and dental care Are some medical specialties particularly stretched Carton: The main issue is that it's hard to recruit people to work in the prison service We already have a recruitment crisis for doctors And then there's the prospect of working behind bars Looking after people who were often out of reach of healthcare professionals on the outside is very interesting And it's easier to follow-up patients in a prison setting Medscape: Do you become attached or feel empathy for your patients because of their situation I personally don't ask about their criminal past but they might spontaneously decide to tell me about their history A doctor in the community doesn't know everything about his or her patient but that doesn't stop them from treating them I feel somewhat attached to those who are often socially or economically isolated They're met with a bit of consideration in our department Medscape: Could telemedicine improve access to medical care in prison Carton: Its usage is growing, but often at a much slower rate than we would hope. We've been using telemedicine here since 2014. We've set up specialist teledermatology and telemedicine in anesthesia services But we're finding it difficult to develop it further We'd have liked to set up a telecardiology service but we couldn't find a cardiologist to take on the role Another problem is that our IT services are very poor and often outdated it shouldn't be a replacement for doctors physically onsite within the prison service It would be hell if they stopped seeing doctors in person Medscape: How is it during the COVID-19 pandemic Did inmates have access to masks and the vaccine The situation outside was very anxiety-inducing; the situation inside was even worse with visiting rooms closing their doors and contact with family members stopped We had to manage all of this with existing resources Organizing a vaccination program for 900 people (although only around 100 turned up to be vaccinated) without additional resources and screening under the same conditions we didn't have any big outbreaks of COVID in the detention center we had lots of sick inmates during the later waves with numerous cases in fall 2021 and early 2022 When you have 95 patients to care for over a 2-week period Medscape: How did you manage to isolate these sick patients Carton: We worked hand in hand with the center's management department we created sort of neutral areas to which nurses were assigned to treat patients and see them once or twice a day Medscape: Have you had difficulty accessing treatments for hepatitis C in prison Carton: Initially, we had problems caring for patients with hepatitis C The public authorities have taken stock of the problem a general practitioner can prescribe hepatitis C treatment We collect the treatment monthly and issue them to patients daily or weekly we give them their medication and their prescription Problems arise when an inmate is released sooner than expected we find ourselves having to adapt and tweak our procedures we tend to treat people who we know are going to spend 2 or 3 months in our center published a bombshell book on healthcare in prisons Carton: At the time she was working in prisons care was dispensed by doctors who answered to the prison's administrative department medical provision in the prison service has switched to the care of the department for health for the past few years we've found ourselves going backwards: we have fewer resources and the "safety above all" attitude is affecting how we work Let's just say that the health department is less vocal than the justice department we've been under pressure to examine inmates in the presence of wardens even though we're inside a prison and our units are organized so that medical confidentiality is respected but it's an ongoing battle that is becoming tiresome Medscape: As chair of the French association of healthcare professionals working in the prison service we'd like to educate people on how we work and receive sufficient resources to fulfill our roles My colleagues and I are all convinced that if we complete our mission of care correctly we'll also be able to carry out our other mission of promoting and educating about healthcare It's something that we can't measure or profit from immediately but it's important for those being released from prison For example, in our detention center, we have a smoking rate of 70%. Outside the prison walls, this figure is 30%. So, education about smoking is a huge factor. Another example is our diabetic patients, who all have poorly controlled blood sugar levels. Some have reached a glycated hemoglobin level of 12% We need the resources to provide healthcare education but unfortunately there just aren't enough of us This article was translated from the Medscape French edition.

In his new book, Law & Order: The World of Criminal Justice which will be released in the United States this fall the Dutch photographer brings readers up close to prisons “I’m interested in these aspects of society that are vital but not necessarily considered to be picturesque,” he said it’s an attempt to visually cope with the question of how we handle crime I think it always makes tremendous sense to compare different societies as I’ve done with Bureaucratics because the character of a specific society comes out.” After discussing which countries to focus on with the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law Banning started his investigation with a trip to Uganda in 2010 he was given access to a handful of prisons and on subsequent visits he was able to visit 10 prisons of various security levels his guide tended to be just a single unarmed warden or assistant which was indicative of environments he found to be “rather friendly and rather humane.” maybe this is a PR exercise and they’re just doing this for me.’ But I noticed it in all 10 prisons I was in and some were tiny local prisons where you wouldn’t expect the personnel to have any idea of PR the prisons there are still not a place where you’d love to be half the prison population hasn’t been on trial and some have been sitting there without charges for five or six years.” Uganda’s open system allowed him to get some of the more colorful photographs in the book tended to be a lot less visually interesting than those in Uganda but Banning said he embraced the sterility in his photographs and thought it was important to communicate it in “a fair and relevant way.” “I think this debate is incredibly important in the U.S but I think the way crime is handled here in Europe is not as exaggerated as it is in the U.S and the number of people involved in the U.S promised Banning access to several prisons with “some limitations,” he said his experience there was frustrating as the agency tried to turn him into “an unpaid propagandist” by not allowing him to photograph cells in high-security prisons and limiting his views largely to amenities such as gardens and education centers he stormed out of one tour through a women’s prison and ended his relationship with INPEC “In the other countries dealt with in this book – France – I was able to produce a more or less fair and balanced series of photos I have to clearly admit that I have fallen victim to INPEC’s censorship,” he wrote in Law & Order after years seeing vastly different prisons and criminal justice systems was a skepticism about the effectiveness of prisons in handling criminals “You see lots and lots of people more or less rotting away and some manage to turn their prison time into something sensible but for a lot of them they’re just sitting there and I don’t think it makes much sense for them “Not that I’m so arrogant as to say I know what the solution is But I hope this book contributes to people thinking about it,” he added Banning will mark the U.S. release of Law & Order with an event with photo editor and curator Elisabeth Biondi at the Bronx Documentary Center on Sept France's Arnaud Demare (R) celebrates as he crosses the finish line ahead of France's Julian Alaphilippe (L) at the end of the 148,5km first stage of the 75th edition of the Paris-Nice cycling race Arnaud Démare (FDJ) won the first stage of this year's Paris-Nice ahead of Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors) in a chaotic day in northern France Arnaud Démare (FDJ) beat Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors) in a two-man sprint on a frenetic stage one of Paris-Nice Despite a mass sprint being expected in northern France no such thing materialised as rain and crosswinds affected the opening stage of this year's race from the start André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) and Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) were both dropped in the final two kilometres from the lead group of 20 riders and when Alaphilippe launched his move in the final 1,500m on an uphill section >>> Seven things to look out for at Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico Paris-Nice is billed as "The Race to the Sun" and when riders converged in a wet and windy Bois-d'Arcy this morning, the moniker took on a literal meaning Four riders - Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Energie) Gatis Smukulis (Delko Marseille Provence KTM) and Kristijan Koren (Cannondale-Drapac) - teamed up for the day's breakaway stretching an advantage of six minutes with 40km covered Further back were pre-race favourites Simon Yates (Orica-Scott) and Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) The lead chasers caught the breakaway and together the 26 riders drove an unrelenting pace while despite the efforts of Tony Martin (Katusha-Alpecin) and Jarlinson Pantano (Trek-Segafredo) specifically the second group on the road were unable to mount a strong enough response to bridge the gap As the distance to go marker read five kilometres the advantage for the lead group - by which point had distanced a few riders owning to the speed and conditions - was 45 seconds But the expected sprint began to unravel when Kittel was dropped on the final rise inside the last two kilometres As the road continued to incline, Alaphilippe attacked and it was left to he and Démare to contest the finale Kristoff took the sprint for third place ahead of Philippe Gilbert (Quick-Step Floors) Henao and Martin both finished in the Kristoff group Bardet and Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha-Alpecin) Contador and Yates were a further 17 seconds in arrears Europe's first WorldTour stage race of the season continues tomorrow with a flat parcours from Rochefort-en-Yvelines to Amilly Julian Alaphilippe (Fra) Quick-Step Floors at same time Alexander Kristoff (Nor) Katusha-Alpecin) at 9secs Julian Alaphilippe (Fra) Quick-Step Floors at 4secs Alexander Kristoff (Nor) Katusha-Alpecin) at 15secs Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Quick-Step Floors at 16secs Romain Hardy (Fra) Fortuneo-Vital Concept at 18secs Dan Martin (Irl) Quick-Step Floors at 19 secs Thank you for reading 20 articles this month* Join now for unlimited access Enjoy your first month for just £1 / $1 / €1 *Read 5 free articles per month without a subscription Try first month for just £1 / $1 / €1 hiking and cycling guide in the Canadian Rockies and Spanish Pyrenees he almost certainly holds the record for the most number of interviews conducted from snowy mountains Studio Muoto´s activities cover the fields of architecture Muoto's work often features minimal structures made of rough materials as a means to combine different activities and merge economical as well as aesthetic issues Vertical diversity as an articulation between building and city scales is a recurrent figure in Muoto's projects The office has been rewarded by several prizes Afterword to Modernism (Learning from Conceptualism)Gauthier Herrmann Paris-Saclay University CampusSales pavilion BallardThe Crisis Is Our ChanceA Catalogue of Gas StationsMuoto 2G No. 79: Muoto Buy now Buy from amazon.com You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email LUPIN on Netflix stars Omar Sy (The Intouchables) as Assane Diop the son of a Senegalese immigrant to France whose father Babakar Diop is wrongfully accused and pressured to confess to the theft of a priceless necklace known as The Queen’s Necklace the filming locations of LUPIN take the viewer from the most upscale of the upscale to the banlieues where someone like Assane might have grown up To achieve revenge on the Pellegrini family who framed his father Assane assumes many identities (and costumes) The first season is five episodes and it has just been confirmed that a second season has been commissioned That’s lucky for viewers because the first season ends on a cliffhanger we still don’t fully have a sense of who Assane is really the caper is fun and the script attempts to get a bit beyond the blockbustery feel of the heist — addressing issues of class and race in French society The New York Times calls LUPIN a international hit that’s a “new twist on a classic French tale.” If you’re curious about the filming locations for LUPIN Many of the filming locations are places we’ve covered in our Untapped Paris archives so enjoy a little trip to Paris through this article The Louvre is the most prominent filming location in LUPIN taking place in this famous museum in the heat of Paris but Assane has gone to work under cover as a janitor so he can prep for the heist Assane meets with his somewhat estranged wife Claire (played by Ludivine Sagnier) whom we find out through flashbacks is someone he meets in school Pellegrini begins to pay for his high-class private school education out of guilt a restaurant in the 10th arrondisement at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Martin and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin You can see the Porte Saint-Martin one of the many monumental arches in Paris It was built in 1874 and is inscribed (translation from the French): “To Louis the Great and Dutch armies: the Dean of the Guild and the Aldermen of Paris.” Assane’s closest friend, besides Claire, is Benjamin Ferel, someone he also met at his private school.

(AFP) Link copiedShareShare articleA Queensland serial rapist has lost an appeal against his ongoing detention, with the Supreme Court in Brisbane ruling he should not be released under a supervision order. Gary Une Turnbull, 41, was described as the "worst of the worst" when he was convicted in 2002 for three rapes and one attempted rape. He targeted women who were strangers, at times following them home from train stations. In 2001, he attacked three women in January, May and June. The latter of the sexual assaults was extremely violent, with Turnbull breaking the woman's jaw. The expert evidence was that there are important gaps in the information about Mr Turnbull's motivations and desires, and that more needs to be known. Turnbull was initially jailed for 20 years but the sentence was later reduced to 13. He was due for release in June 2014, but that was prevented when former attorney-general Jarrod Bleijie successfully applied for his ongoing detention. Turnbull lodged an appeal, requesting his release under a supervision order. The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld his imprisonment and said he should not be released. Supreme Court Judge Philip Morrison said Turnbull had not completed a High Intensity Sexual Offender Program and there was insufficient information to identify the triggers behind his "disturbing acts of violence". "The expert evidence was that there are important gaps in the information about Mr Turnbull's motivations and desires, and that more needs to be known before it can be said this risk is one that can be managed, if that was possible at all," Judge Morrison said. "The unknown factors underlying the violent and severe attacks perpetrated by Mr Turnbull prevented, in my view, the conclusion that adequate protection of the community could be ensured under the supervision order."
