What is the importance of preserving your child’s cord blood?
Cord blood has stem cells which are agent responsible for replenishing the blood and immune system The stem cells have the ability to develop into new and healthy red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Stem cells have been proven to successfully treat diseases including cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, blood disorders such as thalassaemia as well as immune deficiencies and metabolic disorders

Tatlong araw bago ang Gabi ng Parangal ng 2011 Philippine Blog Awards, lang namin nalaman na and Brinknotes Podcast Network ay finalist sa videocast /podcast category ng 2011 Philippine Blog Awards. Ito ang pangatlong pagkakataon na nominado ang podcast site ni Jeric Pena.
Magkahalong tuwa at pagkabalisa ang aking naramdaman , siyempre ang pakiramdam nga naman ng isang ina pagka ganito ang nangyayari sa anak. Sa isang banda, takot din kasi baka hindi manalo , eh talent din kasi ako dun sa onlineDoktora.
Kami ay naghanda para sumali sa parangal, na sa aming isip ay okay lang kahit hindi manalo kasi, mayroon na namang siyang award noong 2009, kaya lang hindi kami nakadalo dahil sa kanyang klase at traffic noong araw na yon.
Maayos ang mga paglalahad sa programa, puno ang RCBC auditorium ng mga bloggers at kanilang mga kasama, at gusto ko ang pag-uulat noong emcee na si Ms. Gang Badoy, simple lang ang mga kaganapan sa programa, pero napakalaki ng kabuluhan nito sa lahat ng nanalo noong Gabi ng Parangal.
Nagsalita si Mr Juned Sunido ang pangulo ng PBA, pina alam niya ang plano ng PBA para tumulong sa communidad sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-ugnayan sa Habitat for Humanity. Akmang-akma sa “bayanihan “ na tema ng 2011 PBA.
At nangyari nga na nanalo uli ang Brinknotes Podcast sa pangalawang pagkakataon. Buti na lang di ako naiyak,nanginig at nanlamig ng konti pero siyempre proud mom ako. Mayroon pa ako kasamang bonus, nanalo ako sa raffle ng isang Nokia 500 cell phone.

Salamat sa PBA sa pagkilala nila sa mga taong ibinabahagi ang kanilang talino, kaalaman at panahon para lumikha ng mga bagay at paraan na magpapakilala sa atin bilang Filipino.

I learned about electronic health records program (eRecords) , telemedicine program (eMedicine), eLearning program (eLearning) when I attended the one day eHealth seminar conducted by the University of the Philippines-Manila National Telehealth Center (UPM-NThC) last October 7, 2011 at Pedro Gil UP Manila.
I have been in the practice of medicine for the last 20 years and into teaching nursing courses for 6 years, and the seminar provided me with information regarding the practice of eHealth.
Charting or Documenting is the process of making an entry on a client’s record. Client’s record has several purposes: communicating with other member of the health team, education, and research and for legal, auditing and reimbursement purposes.
Personally I have used eLearning when I had my distance education courses. In a way I practiced eMedicine , when I did Filipino health podcasts and for sure I am would like to put into use a simple electronic medical records for my clinical practice.
Most of the attendees were young registered nurses and this is actually the right time for them to learn eHealth especially about eRecords: electronic medical record and electronic health record. In the years to come, all hospital-based practice will surely have eRecords as part of their system.
