About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Bayer Announces Recipients of the Second Annual Pulmonary Hypertension Accelerated Awards

By: via Business Wire
  • Seven U.S. researchers working to advance pulmonary hypertension (PH) science and patient care awarded a combined one million dollars in grants
  • Application for the 2021 PHAB Awards is now live for eligible researchers to submit their proposals

Bayer announced the 2020 recipients of the annual Pulmonary Hypertension Accelerated Bayer (PHAB) Awards, a U.S.-based research grant program created to support clinical research in pulmonary hypertension (PH), with a focus on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The seven recipients will receive a combined total of $1 million in grants over a two-year period, making the PHAB Awards one of the largest industry-funded grant programs focused on PAH and CTEPH in the U.S.

“We are seeing how the COVID-19 pandemic has put pulmonary hypertension patients at an increased mortality risk, making it more imperative than ever to support the exploration, discovery and implementation of scientific research that benefits these patients,” said Sameer Bansilal, M.D., M.S., Medical Director, U.S. Medical Affairs at Bayer. “The PHAB Awards in recognizing the dedicated efforts of worthy researchers, underscores Bayer’s commitment to health for all.”

The 2020 recipients are:

  • Nicholas Shelburne, M.D., Vanderbilt University Medical Center, to study the effects of exercise on metabolism and right ventricular function in PAH.
  • Mona Alotaibi, M.D., University of California San Diego, to study integrated high throughput non-targeted LCMS metabolomics in CTEPH.
  • Samuel Rayner, M.D., University of Washington Center for Lung Biology, to study proximal pulmonary vascular compliance and inflammation in PAH.
  • Andrea Frump, M.S., Ph.D., Indiana University School of Medicine, to study targeting apelin and ACE2 in PAH-induced RV failure.
  • Hilary DuBrock, M.D., MMSc, Mayo Clinic, to study improving outcomes of PH associated with chronic kidney disease through better understanding of disease mechanisms.
  • Stephen Chan, M.D., Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh, Vascular Medicine Institute, to study utilizing novel 18F-fluoroglutamine PET imaging in patients with PAH.
  • Jason Yuan, M.D., Ph.D., University of California San Diego, to study endothelial biomarkers for treatment of CTEPH.

Continuing to build on the success of past PHAB grants in creating new research opportunities, Bayer also announced that the 2021 PHAB Awards application is now live and encourages qualified researchers to apply here. The deadline for applicants is November 1, 2021.

"The PHAB Awards would not be possible without the time and commitment of the independent Grants Review Committee, and I’d like to extend my thanks to this team of medical professionals,” said Amit Sharma, U.S. Vice President of Cardiovascular and Renal Medical Affairs at Bayer. “We look forward to carrying this program forward with the 2021 PHAB Awards. I encourage eligible applicants to submit their research proposals for consideration as soon as possible.”

The PHAB Awards selection criteria are modeled on standards used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) system. Many attributes, including merit, significance, innovation and approach, are evaluated. Award recipients must post their research on ClinicalTrials.gov, and are expected to use best efforts to publish or present study outcomes. If research is not conducted, grant monies must be returned.

About Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH, WHO Group 1) is defined by elevated pressure in the arteries going from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Typical symptoms of PAH include shortness of breath on exertion, fatigue, weakness, chest pain and syncope. PAH is caused by abnormalities in the walls of the pulmonary arteries.1,2

About Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH)

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH, WHO Group 4) is a progressive type of pulmonary hypertension, in which it is believed that thromboembolic occlusion (organized blood clots) of pulmonary vessels gradually lead to an increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, resulting in an overload of the right heart.3,4 CTEPH may evolve after prior episodes of acute pulmonary embolism, but the pathogenesis is not yet completely understood. The standard and potentially curative treatment for CTEPH is pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), a surgical procedure in which the blood vessels of the lungs are cleared of clot and scar material.5,6 However, a considerable number of patients with CTEPH (20%-40%) are not operable and in up to 35% of patients, the disease persists or reoccurs after PTE.7
