Official Blog of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Amid shortage of face masks, researchers explore 3D options to guard against COVID-19, other infectious diseases The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a high demand for respiratory protection among health care workers in hospitals, especially surgical N95 face masks – cup-shaped respirators that guard against airborne particles and liquid contaminants. In response, VA researchers are experimenting with 3D-printed masks as a substitute for N95s and other respiratory devices. A newly published study evaluated how well the 3D masks perform, with a focus on the filter materials used to block out airborne particles and liquid contaminants. The project team found a wide range of filter efficiency in the 3D masks, including some filters that met or closely approached the criteria needed to make a typical N95. Others did not filter nearly as well when matched up against the N95. ....

By Jasper Craven Feb. 1, 2021 Secretary of Veterans Affairs nominee Denis McDonough.Credit.Pool photo by Sarah Silbiger In May 2014, when retired U.S. Army Medical Service Corps Officer Nuwanna Franklin moved on from the Department of Defense to an administrative position at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Dublin, Ga., she envisioned a few years of rewarding work, and then retirement. In her new role, Ms. Franklin received formal V.A. plaudits, thank-you notes from patients and other signs of gratitude from employees she advocated for as part of her role in the union.

It owns the so-called Westwood Tract where the structure had stood for two centuries dwarfed in recent years by the newly built Canopy at Ginter Park apartments. Seminary spokesman Mike Frontiero said its board of trustees voted last year to demolish the structure, originally the home of Confederate surgeon Hunter Holmes McGuire, “as recognition of and in repentance for the resourcing provided to the seminary through the labor of enslaved persons.” ....
