Moor Support for TRFC U16 Rowcroft Hospice Walk!
Moor Instruments were delighted to sponsor a “Teignmouth Rugby Club U16 player and parents” team to help raise funds for the Rowcroft Hospice “End of Life Care program” recently. The walk was organised as part of the “Big Tackle” challenge and followed a scenic route around Torquay with a few nasty hills and some windswept coastal paths.

We’re pleased to report that the team of 18 (captained by our Sales and Marketing Manager, Pete Jady) completed the walk, albeit in less-than-ideal conditions due to the rain but all in good spirits. With the team fund raising target set at £2000, we’re pleased to report that was smashed – with the team raising £3250 for the charity and also making the TRFC team the overall number one fund raising team for 2024. A great achievement – Well Done!

Hind Limb Ischemia Assessment Techniques: What is the Gold Standard?
Leading up to the World Congress of Microcirculation in Beijing later this year (Sept 20-24, 2023), we will be exploring one of our most common applications in its various perspectives: The pre-clinical use of the hind limb ischemia assessment techniques to develop novel therapies for peripheral arterial diseases etc.

In the run up to the congress we will be releasing a series of articles looking at various aspects of this application, to provide useful background information on current uses of the measurement, practicalities and ultimately to help you make a well-informed choice on the equipment options available to you.

The series includes Hind Limb Ischemia Techniques, Cell Treatments, Treatment Devices, Drug Therapies and Physiological studies.

Here we briefly consider Hind Limb Ischemia techniques and whether laser Doppler Imaging (LDI) can be considered the Gold Standard for Hind Limb Ischemia studies on vascularisation following femoral artery occlusion.

As always, we invite your questions and feedback. Enjoy the read by following the link below!

SfN 2022 San Diego is done and the dusted. Great to be at this show in person after three long years and to remember that "Neuroscience" isn't just about, well, Neuroscience. Add in Fun, Friends, Football, Colleagues, Conversation and an early morning sunrise at 36,000ft and it's easy to see why its great to be back! A particular pleasure, as always to spend quality F2F time with colleagues from across the globe (including Simon Rushworth, Gautam Rajan and Tim Brown). Roll on SfN2023!

We're super proud of our Sales Administrator, Madi Breach, for undertaking the Cancer Research Skipping Challenge. Madi's completing 100 skips per day throughout October and going strong so far.
She says "It’s decades since I’ve skipped and I haven’t been fit since I had Covid in January 2021. I will be doing some of the skipping at work (outside!!) so there will be some entertainment too.".

She's not wrong!

If you’d like to sponsor her and help raise money for a great cause, you can do so by donating to Cancer Research UK on the page https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/madis-skipping-challenge-giving-page

Christmas and New Year at Moor Instruments
As the clock ticks down towards the end of 2021 and we compare where we are now with where we were this time last year, there are strong similarities but also enormous progress with the ultra-rapid development and deployment of vaccines that show a glimmer of hope for a return to normality before too long. The path ahead is unlikely to be smooth but we are used to that now and we sincerely hope that you and yours have stayed safe and that you have managed to thrive despite everything that’s happened.

We have always had a global outlook and our products are now found in all parts of the globe, even a brief sojourn to Everest base camp. On top of the COVID experience, we finally learned what Brexit means for us and we have been taking measures to continue trading with our friends in mainland Europe in a smooth and streamlined way. We have been working closely with our colleagues at Moor GmbH to develop that subsidiary as both our authorised representative in Europe and we hope soon a hub for our customers within mainland Europe.

At this time of year we have taken to make a donation to charity instead of sending cards or goodie boxes. Last year we helped our NHS heroes with a donation to the COVID-19 appeal at NHS Charities . This year we wanted to share support amongst three charities that are close to us. We have been long-term admirers of Dan’s Fund for Burns (https://dansfundforburns.org/) and this year we will support them and also a German charity, Paulinchen e.V (https://www.paulinchen.de/english/) to support their work helping young burn victims in Germany. We have also seen the importance of microcirculation research in the fight against COVID, so we will also support our friends and colleagues at the British Microcirculation & Vascular Biology Society – https://www.microcirculation.org.uk/ (how we’ve missed the face to face congresses!).

So, time then to wish you and yours all the Very Best of the Season. Look forward to seeing you in 2022!

All the best, All at Moor

P.S. Generally our offices will be closed on the 24th Dec and re-open on the 3rd of Jan, although some staff will be working here and there and our service team ready to help if needed.
