A drugged-up van driver fell asleep at the wheel and smashed into a cyclist, leaving her with a "cracked" kidney and needing plastic surgery to her face.The woman required stitches and plastic surgery for her injuries
Telford Magistrates Court heard how the woman had travelled on the train with her bike from Leominster to Ludlow, before taking to the road. She suffered an injury to her forehead the size of a £2 coin which required 15-20 stitches and plastic surgery to close up. She was given a full body scan, which found she had a"cracked" kidney. She is waiting to see if any further treatment will be required.
When police officers searched Grzezulkowski's van, they found 14 joints of cannabis. He was arrested and interviewed twice by police. He accepted he did not see the bike and that he had taken cannabis. A test found he had 4.2 microgrammes of Delta 9 THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis, in his system - more than twice the legal limit of 2mcg.

Wirelessly Powered Drug-Free and Anti-Infective Smart Bandage for Chronic Wound CareWe present a wirelessly powered ultraviolet-C (UVC) radiation-based disinfecting bandage for sterilization and treatment in chronic wound care and management. The bandage contains embedded low-power UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the 265 to 285 nm range with the light emission controlled via a microcontroller. An inductive coil is seamlessly concealed in the fabric bandage and coupled with a rectifier circuit to enable 6.78 MHz wireless power transfer (WPT). The maximum WPT efficiency of the coils is 83% in free space and 75% on the body at a coupling distance of 4.5 cm. Measurements show that the UVC LEDs are emitting radiant power of about 0.6 mW and 6.8 mW with and without fabric bandage, respectively, when wirelessly powered. The ability of the bandage to inactivate microorganisms was examined in a laboratory which shows that the system can effectively eradicate Gram-negative bacteria, Pseudoalteromonas sp. D41 strain, on surfaces in six hours. The proposed smart bandage system is low-cost, battery-free, flexible and can be easily mounted on the human body and, therefore, shows great promise for the treatment of persistent infections in chronic wound care.
