Coimbatore: The gap between the oxygen demand and supply has dropped in the district, with the government hospitals steadily increasing the capacity to generate the same.
After various corporate houses and service organisations, Premier Mills Group has now come forward to set up a modular oxygen generating system in the ESI Hospital at a cost of Rs 1 crore.
Shanthi Srinivasan, managing director, Premier Fine Linens Pvt Ltd, said the system would have a capacity to generate 500 litres oxygen per minute and serve 100 beds at the hospital. “The modular system has a separate compressor unit and a decentralised oxygen concentration system that caters to two beds at the same time, making it an effective alternative to address the current scenario.”

ATLANTA Dr. Andrew Gewirtz, a professor in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University, has received a four-year federal grant just over $2 million to study how inflammation and altered gut microbiota, the microorganisms living in the intestine, influence the development of a group of diseases referred to as metabolic syndrome.
Between 50 to 80 million Americans suffer from metabolic syndrome, an epidemic of interrelated obesity-associated disorders including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and hepatic steatosis (fatty liver). Many of these individuals will develop serious, costly diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver failure.
