A team of investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) report that skin grafts from pigs lacking the Gal sugar molecule were as effective in covering burn-like injuries on the backs of baboons as skin taken from other
We are actively exploring options for establishing clinical-grade production of these grafts and hope to begin a clinical trial in due course.
A key component in the treatment of major burns particularly those involving more than 30 percent of the body surface is removing the damaged skin and covering the injury preferably with a graft of a patient's own tissue.

Meanwhile the Ohio Hospital Association (OHA) is leading an initiative that is unique in the nation:
I wanted to save hospitals money and I saw an opportunity said Rick Sites Regulatory Counsel for OHA.
Six of the 10 largest employers in Ohio are hospitals. There's a chance to make a big impact.
By enabling Ohio hospitals to obtain Energy star ratings OHA encourages hospitals to boost efficiency and resilience in the face of power outages.
So far the association's energy audits have earned participating hospitals more than $6 million in government energy rebates
which aids public health--a natural goal for hospitals to have said Sites. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Ohio State university.
