The FHA used soph1stocated equ1pment to measure pavement agwnst a raung sys1em known as the" 'ultemalional roughness index." Throligh 1994 - the most recent figures available - 44.9 percent of Ohio's major urban roads were rated eother good or vecy good. West Vorgima was tops among Ohio's ne1ghbors. wolh 52 2 percent. Indiana was second at 47.7 percent. But none of the oiher states was even close 10 matching the condiuon of Ohoo's rural roads' More than 80 percent of roads m areas with populations lower than 50,000 were rated good or vecy good. Michigan was second. a1 52 percent. The Ohio Public Exf>enditure Council, a nonpartisan public policy thmk lank, reossued the FHA numbers m a report released j\ISI before the House voted last week to approve the sl;lle's $4.6 billion ~wo-year transportation budge!. ' • The problem. says OPEC Presidenl Donald Bemo, is no1 the amounl of money the state spends on mamtaimng its current highway system. • It's finding lhe money to budd new roads. "There is nearly unanimous agreement that Ohoo needs more road con~truclion revenue." Demo said. Under the budget approved by the House and now un~er debate on th~ ~enate, the Ohio Department of Transportation will have about $800 milloon a year to spend on maintaimng the exosting system Funding for maJor new construction is se1 at $315 million for the budget year beginning July I, and half that on the second year. After 2002, ODOT estimates il will be spendong ols entire budget on maontenance and paying off highway bonds "It would make no sense to p<~ur money into ml\ior new consll'llction projects while neglectmg cuorent roads," saod Michelle May, ODOT spokes·+-oman. l Few people doubt the s1a1e eventually will have to raise more money for _toads- eother by raising the gasoline tax thai provides lhe bulk of the stale tansportallon budget or by mcreasint,automobile registration fees. 1 A two-cent increase on the gasoline IIIX, w~ich now totals more lhan 40 4ents a gallon when both federal and stale taxes are considered, wo;_~uld raise tn extra $100 million a year, Demo said. That would cost the average dn~er about $10 a year. ~ BerQO. though, would ralher see the gas lax left alone and the·$10 lacked onto the registration fee so taxpayers know exactly what they're payong. ; But before 1he s1a1e does either. Bemo wants federal highwaJ officoals 1o stop usong gasoline 1axes collected in Ohio to pay for ma.•s transit pro:jccts, federal deficl! reductoon and hoghways 1n other states • If Ohio just go110 keep what it collected. the state would have hundreds millions more lor road conslruction. he said · !

Called. Integra, it is a syn.thelic skin that can be placed over a third-degree bum to protect it and encourage underlying tissue to grow until healthy' skin from lhe bum patient can be grafted onto the wound . "This iHhe only product of its kind, and it's a unique approach to bums," said Dr. Glenn Warden, chief of staff at the specialized bum hospital. "We think it will be another weapon in our annamentari\Jm. :! · Integra is called an "interactive · dressing" - it does more than cover the skin . The bottom of Integra's two layers is made from biodegradable cow collagen. As it covers the skin. it encourages the skin's own cells, lymph and blood vessels to latch onto and grow among its collagen structures . "II turns out that collagen is about the same in all of us, so it's not rejected as a foreign . body," Warden said. After about two weeks, doctors can remove the thin upper layer of Integra, made of silicone, and place a skin graft on top. Integra's advantage is that it reduces by one-third the time between skin graft operations, said Warden, one of eight U.S. doctors who tested . Integra before it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in March 1996. Without Integra, doctors typically have to wait about 21 days between operations to place a skin graft on a bum site. In those 21 days, a person 's healthy skin can grow , and become thick enough to provide an adequate graft (o cover a burn: Integra, however, helps build the' foundation layers of burned tissue, allowing doc· tors to use much thinner grafts from the patient and cutting the turnaround time to 14 days for the patient' to grow healthy, graftable skin. Integra is not for every bum patient, Warden said. It best is suited for third-degree bums, meaning the 'entire top · layers of skin are burned away; and for those for whom do!Jor sites for healthy skin are not very large . (If Integra is not used, doctors . place donor skin from cadavers over wound sites as protection while the patient's own skin grows and is ready to be grafted). · Depending on where a patient is burned, doctors can remove healthy skin from the hack, · bu'nocks, inner thigh, head and other places on the body to graft· it elsewhere to cover b'urns. . l,ptegra comes in 4-by- 10 or 5-by-8-inch sheets and can be cut and tailored to fit the contours of bum wounds. And it is e"J!Cnsive - $1,000 or more a sheet. (All medical· care at ·shriner-supported hospitals is free) . Original tests on Integra were completed in 1990, but the product lagged for si~ years while the substance or its developer COI!1panies were sold . In 1996, 'Life Scie"nces Corp. bought Integra and , .shepherded it through the FDA for approval. ' . ~~ heal thirddegr~e burns } , • �. . ,... •• ,...
