Cherokee Scrubs Leading the Way to More Fashionable Uniform Scrubs

Medical uniforms have been a professional requirement of health care workers starting as early as the middle of the 19th century. By 1880, Florence Nightingale had established a system to train nurses and used a hat and band system to identify nurses of different rank. Nurse hats originally were modeled after nun's coifs, which gave the nursing uniform an increased look of respectability.

The First World War brought about a change in nursing uniforms to allow increased functionality in order to provide fast and efficient care to the large number of casualties of war. Bulky aprons were discarded and skirts were shortened. This change led to a post war period where nursing uniforms begin to mimic popular fashion.

In the 1950's, hats began to be de-emphasized in order to make the nursing uniform less feminine and therefore attract more male nursing trainees. By the 1970's the hat had disappeared almost completely except for use in nursing training institutions. The new trend in nursing fashion became uniform scrubs. Today, at most hospitals everyone wears uniform scrubs at all times to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Cherokee Clothing moved into the nursing uniforms market to join Landau, Barco, Crest and other uniform manufacturers in changing the uniform scrubs market by creating new scrub styles to flatter the body and make scrubs less unisex fitting. Cherokee Scrub Pants rapidly became the leader in uniform pant due to the variety of styles to compliment different female body shapes, as well as the original men's unisex styles.

Uniform scrub pants also come in regular, petite and tall lengths. The standard size range was expanded to include XP to 5XL in order to accommodate all healthcare workers who were required to wear uniform scrubs. Cherokee Scrubs fast became a popular uniform scrubs staple in the marketplace by expanding the color selection of scrubs from the original hospital green or blue to a rainbow of color coordinated solids and prints to brighten the wardrobe of the scrub wearer. Hospital often differentiated departments through the use of specific colors. Uniform scrubs continue to follow fashion trends and colors to provide healthcare workers with a comfortable, easily laundered and fashionable wardrobe.

Neural Crest Stem Cells (Hardcover) $125.65 The book offers readers an understanding of the development of neural crest cells, which is crucial as many birth defects and tumours are of neural crest origin. The neural crest is a transient tissue of the vertebrate embryo. It originates from the future spinal cord and neural crest stem cells emigrate from this location to various places in the embryo, giving rise to many different cell types and tissues. Neural crest derivatives include the peripheral nervous systems, endocrine cells such as the adrenal medulla, smooth musculature of the cardiac outflow tract and great blood vessels, as well as craniofacial bone and cartilage.The underlying mechanisms that regulate embryonic neural crest development are still being investigated and are important for our understanding of neural crest pathologies. Readers will have ready access to current research topics, elaborated in great detail, with a focus on adult neural crest-derived stem cells, which persist in various locations of the postnatal organism. Delving into stem cells from different locations of the body, the book explores the best possible source of such cells for future use in medical applications.
