X-Message-Number: 4572 Date: 29 Jun 95 20:57:43 EDT From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Neuro/Whole-body Ratio The latest issue of CryoCare report states that half of its members are signed up for whole-body cryopreservation and half for neuro. For CryoSpan planning purposes, I had estimated that CryoSpan would be getting about 50% more neuro than whole-body patients (and that was not counting the brain-only patients which only come as the result of autopsy or other calamitous event). For planning purposes, it is useful to know the patient type ratio since this impacts the type of storage vessel used and the efficiency of storage. Since the neuro or whole-body question is often discussed on CryoNet, I believe that CryoNet readers would also be interested to know the neuro/whole-body sign-up figures for the other organizations and since I can't see that publishing such numbers violates any individual's privacy, I hereby request the cryonics organizations to post these figures to CryoNet please. -- Paul -- CryoSpan, Inc. 10743 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730-3806 Email: Pager: 800-805-2870 Fax: 909-987-7253 ************************************************************************ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4572
