St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital promotes the cure and prevention of a wide range of pediatric catastrophic ailments. Among the leaders of childhood cancer treatment, St. Jude was designated by VHL Alliance as the first and only VHL (Von Hippel-Lindau) Clinical Care Center that specifically addresses the needs of children. Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a hereditary rare genetic condition characterized by tumors which form in body areas that have blood vessels such as the brain, eyes, inner ear, and spinal cord. Children that suffer from VHL syndrome are at high risk of developing numerous benign or cancerous tumors at various stages of their lives. These tumors can lead to serious complications such as hearing loss, blindness or death.

According to Regina Nuccio, a St. Jude senior genetic counselor in the Division of Cancer Predisposition, the medical facility has sufficient expert staff including genetic counselors and pediatric specialists who continuously engage in VHL tumor surveillance. Staff in the Cancer Predisposition Program collaborate closely with families to put in place early detection measures and surveillance to provide the best treatment for kids with genetic diseases including VHL. Additionally, the team works with scientists to discover medical techniques in order to help children who’re at a higher risk of getting cancer.

In-ground Pool Purchasing Mistakes

Blue Haven Pools & Spas has since inception, built a wide variety of pools for customers in Manassas Park, VA and other northern Virginia suburbs for more than a decade. Specializing in various types of in-ground pools, the company builds customized pools that help Americans achieve their dreams. Blue Haven Pools & Spas works closely with customers to help them purchase the right in-ground pool.

Buying an in-ground pool is a huge investment and it is vital to ensure all the right measures and decisions are made before commencement of the project. When building a pool, there are mistakes that should be avoided. For starters, many prospective pool owners often fail to think about how to best utilize their pool for long-term purposes. As time goes by, how a family uses a pool changes as young kids grow into teenagers.

In such cases, considering a deep end or expanding a pool to accommodate a diving board or slide is a great idea. For parents, as they become older, mobility could become an issue and therefore, installing handrails and steps should be a priority. Other issues worth considering could be how a pool shall coexist with current structures and the surroundings.

Focusing only on a pool’s aesthetics is a common mistake associated with pool building. Unseen features such as flow rates, pump and filter types, chemical management systems, and pipes often impact heavily on the price of acquiring a pool. Besides design, it’s essential to have a pool with the right features that directly impacts monthly operational costs.

SmartPure Purification System Cleans

Headquartered in Manassas Park, VA, Blue Haven Pools & Spas designs, repairs, and installs inground pools, whirlpools, and spas. Through the use of leading edge technology, Blue Haven Pools & Spas addresses customers' top safety concerns. Their SmartPure Ozone/UV System cleans pool water without the drawbacks associated with the use of chlorine, such as dry skin, eye irritation, and harsh odor.

This advanced SmartPure purification technology ensures continuous disinfection that softens water as it cleans it. This begins with ozone, a form of oxygen that safely neutralizes a number of contaminants, such as from body oil and residue from cosmetic use. As an added benefit, the ozone treatment leaves a fresh scent similar to after a heavy rain. This kind of treatment is also used for bottled water and for tap water in cities across Europe and the US.

The SmartPure system also generates ultraviolet (UV) light. This UV light is safely generated within an enclosed chamber that the water passes through. Not only does UV exposure eliminate a variety of microbial organisms, but in particular it targets the parasite Cryptosporidium, a chlorine-resistant microbe. This method is related to the use of UV light by hospitals for sterilizing medical equipment.
