      Baylor College Of Medicine News & Updates

      Successful first-in-human implantation of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart by Baylor and THI doctors Jul 25, 2024 https://www.bcm.edu/news/successful-first-in-human-implantation-of-the-bivacor-total-artificial-heart-by-baylor-and-thi-doctors The Texas Heart Institute (THI), BiVACOR®, a clinical-stage medical device company, Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center and Baylor College of Medicine announced today the successful first-in-human implantation of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart (TAH) as part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Early Feasibility Study (EFS) on July 9, 2024. BiVACOR’s TAH is a titanium-constructed biventricular rotary blood pump with a single moving part that utilizes a magnetically levitated rotor that pumps the blood and replaces both ventricles of a failing heart. The first-in-human clinical study aims to evaluate the safety and performance of the BiVACOR TAH as a bridge-to-transplant solution for patients with severe biventricular heart failure or univentricular heart failure in which left ventricular assist device support is not recommended. Following this first implantation completed at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center by Baylor College of Medicine surgeons, four additional patients are to be enrolled in the study.

      Texas Children's Hospital News & Updates

      Ten hospitals earned a place on the Best Children's Hospitals 2023-2024 Honor Roll by accumulating points for being highly ranked in many specialties. https://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/pediatric-rankings #1 Cincinnati Children's Cincinnati, OH #2 Boston Children's Hospital Boston, MA #3 Texas Children's Hospital Houston, TX / While I understand Texas Children's Hospital is the biggest in the nation, I wonder why other hospitals beat us? Boston has the life science cluster(s) with Kendall Square. I'm not familiar with Cincinnati Children's. Must be first class? TCH all the way though. It must be splitting hairs at that point.

      Hurricane Beryl

      The City Charter imposed property tax revenue cap limits tax revenue growth to the lower of: the prior year’s cap, plus population and inflation growth, or; the prior year’s revenues plus 4.5 percent. So, even if the City population grew by 50%(as a ridiculous talking point), tax revenues could only go up by 4.5%. Sales taxes are not really controllable, but the City does get taxes from all the commercial property that has been special purpose annexed. Those special purpose annexations avoid single family residential property like the plague. Those folks are left to the tender mercy of the Harris County Sheriff's Office for policing, along with some Constables, and special districts for fire and ambulance.

      Hawes Apartments On Webster St. At Bagby St.

      In 1914, John J. Hawes hired the famous Houston architect Joseph Finger to design him and apartment building. I'm not sure if this was ever built. It's too old, so it could have been demolished, or never built. I looked on Google Maps and couldn't find it.
