HIV Testing Kits To Be Distributed To Residents In Washington, D.C., This Week
On Wednesday, a national HIV testing campaign called "Don"t?Guess?Test!" is making a "controversial move" by distributing free HIV testing kits that have not been approved by FDA in the lead up to National HIV Testing Day on June 27, the Washington Business Journal reports. The kits have been clinically tested and are available in Africa, Asia and Europe, according to the Business Journal. Due to the sensitive nature of the non-FDA-approved kits, campaign officials are not disclosing how many tests will be distributed or the location of distribution at this time (Plumb, Washington Business Journal, 6/22).

Management Agreement With The International Society Of Therapeutic Ultrasound Announced By AIUM

The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) has reached a management agreement with the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) effective July 1, 2009. The AIUM will support the ISTU"s administrative, financial, and member service functions in an effort to maximize the ISTU"s mission of advancing therapeutic ultrasound applications worldwide. "The AIUM recognizes therapeutic ultrasound as a rapidly expanding area of medical ultrasound," says AIUM President Harvey Nisenbaum, MD. "With a diverse membership in the medical ultrasound community, the AIUM is positioned to promote education and research in therapeutic ultrasound by cultivating the exchange of information among basic scientists, sonographers, and physicians." In April 2009, the AIUM established the Therapeutic Ultrasound Community of Practice, a membership subgroup dedicated to promoting therapeutic ultrasound by assisting in the development of educational programs and providing an opportunity for networking and collaboration. "I think that collaboration between the ISTU and the AIUM can greatly expand awareness of therapeutic ultrasound applications and facilitate growth of our organization," says ISTU President Kullervo Hynynen, PhD. The AIUM has managed several nonprofit medical associations and currently has a management arrangement with the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. The potential benefits of therapeutic ultrasound are recognized for targeted drug delivery, pathogenic tissue destruction, physical therapy, and several other applications.
