HOSPITAL VISIT MAY CAUSE MORE DEATHS
A leading medical doctor says that a visit to the hospital in the US is one of the major causes of death. Even by the lowest estimates, hospital errors are the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S. ahead of car crashes, breast cancer, and AIDS. Hospitals are breeding grounds for infection, including potentially deadly infections resistant to antibiotics. Hospital food not only tastes bad, but can also worsen a patient’s health by causing malnutrition. Learn these facts and many others that can save your life. So if you are facing hospitalization, prepare to take steps to protect yourself. Stop Hospital Infections can help you do so. The guide comes as a monthly newsletter with information on things to avoid and ways to improve your health during your hospital stay.
Normally, the newsletter sells for $120/year but for a limited time, you can receive an additional academic report for only $4.00/issue. This report comes out three times a year. Call now 1-800-555-9854 now to place your order, so that you do not miss a single copy of Stop Hospital Infections.
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF TS387A AND TS731K SYNTHETIC FIBERS
The R&D team recently administered a strict test of both the TS387A and TS731K synthetic fibers and the results are as follows:
TS731K, the newer fiber, is slightly more durable than TS387A. The TS731K was also more resilient in severe environments, including unbearable heat and freezing cold. It is also more difficult to cut and tear accidentally. Furthermore, TS731K absorbs a number of different dyes and retains color well. After several cycles of tests in a regular washing machine, dyed TS731K was much less likely to rim than TS387A.
TS731K, however, requests a slightly higher manufacturing cost. Also, due to its resiliency, it cannot be neatly cut. Unfortunately, it will never be suitable for delicate garments, but could guarantee high profitability as a material for pants, jackets, and loose-fitting shirts.
Currently we are using TS387A to mass produce a number of garments. This fiber still presents better quality than what most other clothing companies are using and we have had a continuous increase in our operating profits. Under the current circumstances it might be costly and unnecessary to convert to TS731K at this point, despite its clear superiority. We certainly need to seriously consider changing to TS731K only when it appears our competitors are catching up to us.
