# Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph - Medical Center

Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph - Medical Center is a non-profit, 352-bed hospital in St. Joseph, Missouri owned and operated by Mosaic Life Care.

## History

After WWII, the two main competing hospitals in St. Joseph were St. Joseph Hospital (also known as Sisters Hospital) at 10th and Powell Streets and the newer Missouri Methodist Hospital at 8th and Faraon Streets, which opened in 1924. Adjacent to the Missouri Methodist Hospital at 9th and Faraon streets stood Mercy Hospital, a smaller 50-bed osteopathic hospital. In 1956, Missouri Methodist Hospital purchased Mercy Hospital and converted it into a 35-bed annex in 1957 to handle their increased patient volume. The 1950s also saw the construction of Carder Hall, a dormitory for student nurses at Missouri Methodist Hospital, named in honor of Dr. Carder, the hospital's head at the time. In the 1960s, the hospital dropped "Missouri" from its name, becoming simply Methodist Hospital. This remained the name until the 1970s, when it was further renamed Methodist Medical Center.
In the late 1970s, St. Joseph Hospital determined it needed a new building. It purchased 39 acres of land at Riverside Road and Faraon Street and hired the architecture and engineering firm Henningson, Durham, and Richardson to oversee the construction of the new hospital. By 1983, Missouri Methodist Medical Center and St. Joseph Hospital had agreed to combine into a single organization and form Heartland Health Affiliates. This led to a name change for the original downtown facility to Heartland West. Heartland West experienced a decline in usage, was ultimately abandoned by Heartland Health, and was demolished in 2006.
In May 2012, the hospital joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, expanding its healthcare partnerships. In June of that same year, the Heartland Health System announced it would begin the transition to a new name: Mosaic Life Care. The hospital was officially renamed on November 12, 2014.
The University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine opened a satellite campus located at the hospital in January 2021.

# Mount Sinai Hospital (Minneapolis)

Mount Sinai Hospital, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was the first non-sectarian hospital in the state. Opened in 1951 in South Minneapolis on Chicago Avenue between East 22nd Street and 24th Street, the hospital eventually merged with Metropolitan Medical Center to become Metropolitan-Mt. Sinai before dissolving in 1991.

## Early history

After World War II, the idea for a Jewish hospital began circulating as Jewish community members expressed the desire for a hospital in the Twin Cities that would admit minorities on its staff. Surveys conducted in 1945 and 1947 showed that Jewish doctors faced discrimination and were routinely excluded from medical school faculties and private hospital staffs. Dr. Moses Barron, along with other Jewish community leaders including philanthropist Jay Phillips, began fundraising for the hospital in 1945. By 1946 the hospital site was chosen in South Minneapolis and architects Liebenberg and Kaplan were hired. By 1947, more than $1.75 million had been raised.
On February 19, 1951, Mount Sinai Hospital finally opened its doors under Chief of Staff Dr. Moses Barron. The seven-story, 197 bed facility was the most modern hospital in the community at the time. Its creation served two purposes: Jewish physicians who had been denied admitting privileges at other city hospitals could now practice medicine, and the founders garnered enormous civic prestige. It was the first private non-sectarian hospital in the community to accept members of minority races on its medical staff. After time, the University of Minnesota Medical School and the Minneapolis General Hospital came to Mount Sinai for instruction, and Mount Sinai established a formal residency teaching program, becoming only one of three privately supported medical institutions in the state of Minnesota to provide graduate level medical education.
The Auxiliary group, which formed in 1950 and was composed mainly of women as a counterbalance to the majority male staff, became instrumental in fundraising for the hospital with annual fundraisers, charity balls, and even staffing the hospital coffee shop. By 1987 the Auxiliary group had a membership of 2,200; over their 41-year history they helped to raise over one million dollars for the hospital.

## Closing

In 1990, Mount Sinai Hospital merged with Metropolitan Medical Center to become Metropolitan-Mount Sinai. The hospital could not survive after the merger and in 1991 they closed their doors. The Hennepin County Medical Center, which was adjacent to the hospital, then expanded with the closure of Metropolitan-Mount Sinai. The Mount Sinai Auxiliary continued, transforming into the Mount Sinai Community Foundation, a group that still provides funds within the community to programs that support health and wellness in the Twin Cities.
# Pileus (mycology)

In mycology (the branch of biology that includes the study of mushrooms and other fungi), the pileus is the technical name for the cap, or cap-like part, of a basidiocarp or ascocarp (fungal fruiting body) that supports a spore-bearing surface, the hymenium. The hymenium (hymenophore) may consist of lamellae, tubes, or teeth, on the underside of the pileus. A pileus is characteristic of agarics, boletes, some polypores, tooth fungi, and some ascomycetes.

## Classification

Pilei can be formed in various shapes, and the shapes can change over the course of the developmental cycle of a fungus. The most familiar pileus shape is hemispherical or convex. Convex pilei often continue to expand as they mature until they become flat. Many well-known species have a convex pileus, including the button mushroom, various Amanita species and boletes.
Some, such as the parasol mushroom, have distinct bosses or umbos and are described as umbonate. An umbo is a knobby protrusion at the center of the cap. Some fungi, such as chanterelles have a funnel- or trumpet-shaped appearance. In these cases the pileus is termed infundibuliform.

# Amanat (Indian TV series)

Amanat is an Indian soap opera that premiered on Zee TV on 21 August 1997. '

## Synopsis

The story is about a staunchly traditional Indian man, Lahori Ram, who holds a strong set of values and beliefs. His life revolves around his seven daughters: Santosh, Dinky, Bala, Guddi, Bunty, Munni, and Totey, each with her own peculiarities and problems.
Lahori Ram, who is originally from Pakistan, moves to India after the partition of India. The world has progressed – or grown corrupt, depending on how you look at it – but his values and traditions have not changed with the advent of modern times. Having lost his wife early in life, he has been both father and mother to his girls. He has lavished all his love and affection on them and kept them in the constraints of a stern middle-class morality. The bond between the sisters is extremely close. Not having a mother in their formative years has forged among them a strong comradeship. Their shared moments of happiness and grief, their love and admiration for their father, and the desire never to hurt him are their common ground.
It is only when they get married and go into different families, with varied backgrounds and cultural environments, some rich, some poor, that real conflicts start. For each, it is a struggle between fealty to the family of the husband and the love they have for their sisters. Lahori Ram is supportive like a rock and compassionate as a parent, without hurting one for the sake of the other. But it is a tricky tightrope which he treads with skill. Like the tributaries of a mighty river, the life of each girl breaks free from the confines of family and flows to a distant place, while still being a part of the older stream. Lahori Ram, too, follows the happiness and heartaches of his daughters with fond indulgence and parental concern. They are his "amanat" (legacy), reared with love and bestowed one by one like a legacy on someone else. Each parent goes through these profound experiences, sooner or later, when daughters come of age, and depart as brides, leaving behind only sweet memories.

# Serang virus

Serang virus (SERV) is a single-stranded, negative-sense, enveloped, novel RNA orthohantavirus.

## Natural reservoir

SERV was first isolated from the Asian house rat (R.Tanezumi) in Serang, Indonesia in 2008.

## Virology

Phylogenetic analysis based on partial L, M and S segment nucleotide sequences show SERV is novel and distinct among the hantaviruses. It is most closely related to Thailand virus (THAIV) which is carried by the great bandicoot rat (Bandicota indica). Nucleotide sequence comparison suggests that SERV is the result of cross-species transmission from bandicoots to Asian rats.
