Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1UTM
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have initiated revised policies regarding reimbursement to hospitals for care of patients who suffer health care-associated infections (HAIs) such as SSIs. Hospitals must bear the costs of treatment. Health care workers are the key in preventing patient injury and protecting hospitals.

The trial involves grafting hMSCs intopatients suffering from interveterbral disc disease using a degradable polymer scaffold. You are going to 3Dprint a porous cylindrical scaffold that is 2 cm in radius and 1 cm in height (matching the dimensions of adegenerated disc). Assume a porosity of 50%. You will fill available volume of the scaffold with hMSCs at adensity of 1 million cells per cm3. Based on the data above, what starting number of cells will you use andhow long will it take you to get enough cells for the trial? Part2The trial is a failure (patients did not report any reduction in back pain). Your team wants to try againusing 85% hMSCs and 15% nucleus pulposus cells .…arrow_forwardWhat is the importance of employing aseptic techniques?
