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.

Treatment Developed in Spain Allows Child to Overcome Retinal Cancer

Collaboration Saves Child’s Eyesight

BARCELONA, SPAIN, February 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Collaboration between researchers at SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital and biotechnology company VCN successfully treat patient from Venezuela. The demand for cutting-edge treatments is on the rise as medical tourism become an option once again.

A team of researchers at the Barcelona Children’s Hospital and VCN Biosciences have developed a world-first treatment which has prevented an 11-year-old child who had already lost an eye to retinal cancer from losing the other eye. Retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye) is diagnosed in around 8,000 children around the world each year and is the most common eye cancer in children.

The treatment was administered as part of a clinical trial and involved injecting a genetically modified virus into the eye affected by the tumour that selects and destroys cancer cells. At a few months old, the child was diagnosed with cancer of the retina in both eyes (bilateral retinoblastoma). After losing one eye to the disease, he was sent to the Barcelona Children’s Hospital for treatment to save his other eye.

The tumour was deactivated using intra-arterial chemotherapy treatment—the standard treatment. However, 8 months later, he relapsed, and the tumour no longer responded to the standard treatment.

The child was enrolled in a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the oncolytic virus against chemotherapy-resistant retinal cancer. A derivative of the common adenovirus that normally causes cold symptoms, it has been modified to identify, infect and multiply inside cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Following the treatment, the child was disease-free, and his eyesight was saved.

Medical Solutions BCN has collaborated with leading healthcare providers in Spain so that patients from abroad can feel reassured by the high standards and quality on offer.
“The know-how in cutting-edge treatments for retinal diseases in Spain is exceptional”, said Joaquín Pineda, CEO of medical tourism platform Medical Solutions BCN. “Post-Covid, it’s more important than ever to connect overseas patients the best quality medical services in Spain.”
