WA – December 21, 2009. Uptake Medical Corp., a developer of medical technologies for the non-surgical treatment of lung diseases including emphysema, announced today that the first patients were treated in its Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation (BTVA) for Lung Volume Reduction in Patients Diagnosed with Heterogeneous Emphysema with Upper Lobe Predominance (VAPOR) trial. The successful treatment of the first two patients in the VAPOR trial occurred on December 17th, 2009 at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. The procedure was performed by Dr. Gregory Snell, Dr. Trevor Williams and the Alfred Hospital team and attended by Founder and CTO Robert Barry. “We continue to be impressed not only with the ease and simplicity of the procedure, but the excellence of the sites participating in this study. The Alfred team continues to lead the way in clinical studies aimed at helping emphysema sufferers,” Barry said. www.uptakemedical.com/news.php |

I was wondering where you've been. You seemed to have been there for quite awhile, or just not here for a long time. Hope you are feeling better. You should find that your new friend is very beneficial and lets you do so much more that before.
I don't know what A/E is either.
I hope this new trial is totally successful and is offered as soon as possible at many hospitals. I've never been put out, so to speak, and the fear of that is almost as great as the fear of pain from surgery. This sounds painless.

AE is acute exacerbation - also known as AECOPD. Zar and I have been reading too many technical papers about COPD   |
