Royston Carr Asset Management – Heightened trade tensions could prompt China’s government to increase stimulus measures.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 22, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — After a moderate pick up in March this year, China’s economy slowed again last month even before trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies escalated. Analysts at Royston Carr Asset Management say the signs of renewed weakness in China’s economy will likely force the government to increase its stimulus measures to try and boost growth.

According to recently released official data, major indicators of China’s economic activity, including retail sales and industrial output weakened in April with both growing by significantly less than economists had predicted.

Royston Carr Asset Management analysts say the cooling economy could encourage China to resort to increased easing measures as the impact of increased US tariffs take effect.

After months of optimism from both the US and China around trade negotiations, last week’s negotiations unexpectedly broke down and Trump abruptly hiked tariffs on Chinese imports after China reportedly reneged on promises made during negotiations.

After the past few months China has already cut taxes and increased infrastructure spending after last year’s GDP reached a 30 year low. The stimulus measures appeared to be taking effect when China’s economic data showed improvement in March but Royston Carr Asset Management analysts say the recent escalation of trade tensions will likely hit China’s economy hard.

Royston Carr Asset Management analysts say that while a fresh round of stimulus measures may be enough to help China's slowing economy, a strong recovery is not likely.

Providing early, appropriate antibiotic treatment for patients with sepsis — a serious complication of infection that can lead to organ failure and death — is crucial for their survival.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, USA, May 22, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Providing early, appropriate antibiotic treatment for patients with sepsis — a serious complication of infection that can lead to organ failure and death — is crucial for their survival.

But in a new study, researchers at Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City found that antibiotic delivery was significantly faster — by up to 32 minutes — for sepsis patients being treated in an emergency department if they were assigned a slightly higher score on a subjective one-to-five acuity scale commonly used for patient triage.

“Triaging patients and delivering antibiotics quickly in the emergency department is a constant challenge,” said Sierra R. McLean, a University of Utah medical student and the study’s lead author. “We’re trying to figure out ways to provide better quality care to patients, and this study shows us we need to come up with interventions to make sure very ill sepsis patients are appropriately recognized to help get their antibiotics on time.”

In the study, Intermountain researchers examined adult sepsis patients who were treated in four Intermountain Healthcare emergency departments in Utah between July 2013 and January 2017. Many emergency departments, including those in this study, assign patients an acuity score on a five-point scale to aid triage and resource allocation, with one being most in need of immediate care and five the least.

The assessment is often made quickly, however, and the choice between mid-range triage scores can be subtle and subjective, researchers noted. For this study, investigators zeroed in on patients with mid-range scores — those given a 2 (emergent) or 3 (urgent) – who also had abnormally low blood pressures. Among 799 eligible patients, 591 had a score of 2 and 208 had a score of 3. Researchers then evaluated how quickly they received antibiotics.

They found that patients given a triage score of 3, or urgent, had door-to-antibiotic times that were 32 minutes longer than patients assigned a triage score of 2, or emergent.

“Federal and international standards encourage the start of broad-spectrum antibiotics within three hours of a sepsis patient’s arrival in the emergency department. Those 32 minutes can make a major difference in a patient’s chances for survival,” said Ithan D. Peltan, MD, MSc, senior author of the study and an attending physician in the Intermountain Medical Center Shock Trauma Intensive Care Unit and Intermountain Healthcare Telecritical Care.

“If we could find interventions to help triage patients better, we might be able to help patients get antibiotics on time,” added McLean.

McLean and Dr. Peltan will present their findings from the study at ATS 2019, the annual international conference of the American Thoracic Society, in Dallas on May 22.

Dr. Peltan said the study is part of a broader look at the system level challenges that make it hard to deliver high-quality sepsis care. “How do we help these incredibly busy, skilled emergency department clinicians ¬– who are working in an environment where there’s not much information — to identify sepsis patients who are at risk for under-triage? This study is a step toward answering that question,” he added.

The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation. McLean joined the Intermountain research team as part of a University of Utah Medical School program designed to provide students mentored experience in biomedical research.

Intermountain Healthcare is a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 24 hospitals, 160 clinics, a Medical Group with some 2,300 employed physicians and advanced care practitioners, a health insurance company called SelectHealth, and other health services. Intermountain is widely recognized as a leader in transforming healthcare through evidence-based best practices, high quality, and sustainable costs.

Ultra-thin bipolar plates from Horizon deliver high power density, and offer exciting cost-reduction potential in PEM fuel cells.

SHANGHAI, CHINA, May 22, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has announced a breakthrough in PEM fuel cell stack technology, aiming to accelerate the mass commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles.

Horizon recently unveiled their latest innovation in high power and high power-density automotive fuel cells. Fuel cell stacks made using the company’s patent pending, state of the art graphite bipolar plates with thickness of 1.1mm exhibit performance superior to that of conventional metal bipolar plates and typical graphite bipolar plates.

Optimising bipolar plate and membrane electrode assembly material and design configurations, Horizon’s Shanghai R&D center has successfully achieved a continuous power density of 1.5W/cm2 at 0.6V per cell in a full size short stack, doubling the power density of some commercial automotive fuel cells. Further power density improvement to 1.8W/cm2 is expected in the foreseeable future. As an international leader in fuel cell commercialization, Horizon embodies the rapid evolution of fuel cell systems for vehicles in recent years. Commercial production of Horizon’s new 60-100kW, high power-density and low cost automotive fuel cell stacks will commence before the end of 2019.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle platforms offer great promise for heavy vehicle fleets with long driving range and/or demanding daily operating requirements. Fuel cells are set to play a key role in enabling those applications by dramatically increasing the driving range achievable over batteries alone, and by eliminating down-time for recharging. The shift to fuel cells was highlighted at the recent Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Long Beach, California, where a Fuel Cell Electric truck from leading heavy truck maker Kenworth (powered by Toyota fuel cells) was on display along with new fuel cell electric truck market entrant Nikola.

Mr. Chen Jie, CTO of Horizon Group, commented, "We are very proud of this technological breakthrough by our Shanghai R&D team. With over 16 years of fuel cell R&D experience, we took risks in pursuing an unconventional technical approach which we believe is unique. Our new stack design achieved superior reactant supply, water removal and heat transfer under high current density, even compared to state of the art 3D flow channel structures".

Mr. George Gu, Chairman of Horizon Group, points out that cell power density per square centimeter is more important than volume power density when considering commercial attractiveness of fuel cell systems. Doubling power density per square centimeter means not only doubling volume power density but also reducing material cost by half, laying down the foundation for near term large-scale commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.

Horizon will combine this breakthrough in bipolar plate technology with recent investments in highly automated manufacturing processes for fuel cell stacks and key materials, with a view to helping customers achieve hitherto unattainable cost structures for both fuel cell vehicle and fuel cell power plant applications. The company recently signed MOU's with global customers for 1,000 automotive fuel cell systems, and fuel cell power plants to generate in excess of 40MW of power from byproduct hydrogen.

About Horizon:
Horizon is a fuel cell pioneer and global leader in fuel cell commercialization, having been engaged in fuel cell R&D for 16 years. Horizon has a strong track record of innovation, winning awards along the way from Frost & Sullivan, Time , RedPoint, etc., and recognition from national research laboratories in many countries. Horizon supplies high power automotive fuel cell stacks up to 100kW, and containerized MW fuel cell power plants. Horizon is one of few enterprises with depth in all core technologies of PEM fuel cells, from catalyst, membrane electrode, bipolar plates and stacks, to system control.
