Parents' motivation for seeing a physician. To explore situations in which parents with an ill child consult a physician and to identify trigger factors for consultation. Qualitative interviews with parents of young children. Parents were asked to describe the situation in which the decision to contact the physician was made. A total of 20 families selected from a birth cohort from Frederiksborg County. The cohort numbered 194 of 389 children born between 1 and 28 February 2001. The cohort was followed prospectively from the age of 9 to 12 months by diary (January-April), and retrospectively from birth to the age of 9 months by questionnaire. Families were chosen on the basis of information provided in a questionnaire, diary illness pattern and a telephone conversation. Nine trigger factors associated withThe recently vetoed $612 billion U.S. defense budget, which Congress and the White House had argued about all year, could well be back on track after U.S. President Barack Obama and lawmakers came to a tentative agreement Monday night over the fate of the overall government budget. The 2016 National Defense Authorization Act had been held up since last week after Obama vetoed the bill presented to him by Congress that included $38 billion in extra funding from an unregulated and controversial war fund that took the defense budget far beyond cross-government budget caps agreed upon in 2011. The agreement over the government budget would end five years of bitter clashes between Obama and Republican congressional leaders, allowing a modest budget increase over the next two years, according to

Moody's Investors Service has lowered the outlook for the credit ratings of three of Europe's strongest economies: Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany. It's part of a busy day in Europe that has investors on-edge -- markets there are barely moving. The credit rating agency Moody's slashed the ratings of 15 of the world's biggest financial institutions, including Citigroup and Bank of America here in the U.S. and Barclays and Credit Suisse in Europe. Europe correspondent Stephen Beard discusses why the European markets remained pretty steady despite the credit downgrades of several European countries, and why we ought to worry about the Greek debt talks collapsing.part of the endodermal "half". This statement was further corroborated by arguments collected from the literature.Whereas neither the endoderm nor the ectoderm alone are initially able to differentiate beyond a certain point - so-called atypical ectodermal and endodermal differentiation respectively - their interaction product, the mesoderm, apparently contains the information needed for differentiation into the characteristic mesodermal structures. Influences emanating from the differentiating mesoderm then enable both the ectoderm and the endoderm to proceed further on their path of differentiation.The role of the blastocoelic cavity - a cavity with a negative morphogenetic function - in thespatial interaction between the two primary components of the egg was elucidated.

Medical lessons learnt from the US and Canadian experience of treating combat casualties from Afghanistan and Iraq. The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, established in 1965, funds Travelling Fellowships and both authors visited hospitals in Germany, Canada and the USA regarded as centres of excellence with expertise in the early care, reconstruction and rehabilitation of the combat casualties of our NATO Allies, as recipients of these Fellowships. This article presents some of the lessons learnt in the field of musculoskeletal trauma and rehabilitation from the Canadian and US military medical systems. In trauma, there were significant differences in wound debridement policy, use of external fixators for fractures, primary use of circular frames for open tibial fractures and a far more liberal use of bone morphogenetic protein in fracture treatment. Differencesnormative approach to IR, by considering ethics. This is something which has often been ignored under "traditional" IR as positivist theories make a distinction between "facts" and normative judgments, or "values". During the late 1980s and the 1990s, debate between positivists and post-positivists became the dominant debate and has been described as constituting the Third "Great Debate" (Lapid 1989). Schools of thought Realism Realism focuses on state security and power above all else. Early realists such as E. H. Carr and Hans Morgenthau argued that states are self-interested, power-seeking rational actors, who seek to maximize their security and chances of survival. Cooperation between states is a way to maximize each individual state's security (as opposed to more idealistic reasons). Similarly, any act of war must be based on self-interest, rather than

Driver of bus that hit Mass. house was new to job AUBURN, Mass. (AP) — The man driving a regional transit bus that crashed into a house in central Massachusetts earlier this week was on his first day of service. The Telegram & Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1227YGh) that the driver of the bus was 27-year-old Francis Artey of Worcester (WUS'-tur). Worcester Regional Transit Authority official John Carney says Artey went through a rigorous, eight-week training program before "driving in service" for the first time Monday. Carney says Artey was an experienced school bus driver with a stellar driving record. Police say it appears the brakes weren't applied before the bus smashed into the house in Auburn. They say Artey may have had a medical problem, or there may have been a mechanical problemGaucher's disease: the best laid schemes of mice and men. The creation of animal models of Gaucher's disease, the inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, has led to new clinical insights and to a new appreciation of the complexity of the glucocerebrosidase gene locus. Murine embryonic stem cells with targeted modifications in the glucocerebrosidase gene were used to generate mouse models of Gaucher's disease, the first having a null glucocerebrosidase allele. The resulting knockout mice have no glucocerebrosidase activity and die within 12 hours of birth. Ultrastructural studies of liver, spleen, brain and bone marrow demonstrate the characteristic storage material seen in Gaucher patients. In the nervous system, storage of lipid increased in a rostral-caudal distribution. Analysis of skin from the knockout mice revealed histological, ultrastructural and biochemical abnormalities.

number of passes. The Fisher exact test was used to compare yield for different specimen characteristics. Fourteen (19%) lesions were malignant and 59 (81%) were benign. Cells indicating the final diagnosis were contained in 249 (75%) of 334 specimens. Cells indicating the diagnosis were contained in the first specimen in 51 (70%) lesions, in the second specimen in 67 (92%), in the third specimen in 70 (96%), and in the fourth specimen in 73 (100%). Of the 14 malignancies, 13 (93%) were diagnosed with cells contained in the first or second specimen; one cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ) was diagnosed with cells contained in the fourth specimen. Specimens that were nonfragmented (P <.001) and sank (P <.001) showed correlation with being diagnostic, but needle visualization within the lesionLancs players lead way in Amateur SOUTHPORT & Ainsdale clubmates Paul Howard and Sean Towndrow led the way into the quarter-finals of the Amateur Championship at Royal Portrush today. BIG HIT: Sean Towndrow The England internationals booked their places in the last eight with impressive victories. Howard defeated local player and R&A Scholar Cormac Sharvin, while Towndrow overcame strong English opponent Toby Tree. Sharvin enjoyed a strong local following cheering him on as a member of Ardglass Golf Club in nearby County Down but Howard showed his character to take an early lead in the match. The 23-year-old went two up after four holes, but bogeys at the sixth and seventh saw his lead wiped out. He pulled ahead again at the par four eighth when Sharvin bogeyed. Then Howard stepped up the pressure.

Economic and health needs of Wisconsin migrant farm workers. Migrant farm workers play an essential role in the planting and harvesting of crops in our agricultural production system. In the United States today, about 6 percent of the paid farm labor force "follow the crops" across the nation. This article reports on the economic and health care needs of migrant farm workers who travel from the border areas of Texas to Wisconsin each year. Surveys conducted in 1978 and 1989 show that this population remains in serious need of health care and access to financial assistance programs. During the 11-year interval between surveys, little change occurred in the health care status or use patterns of Wisconsin migrant workers, although housing and sanitary conditions in the work environment improved somewhatshe does have a romance, but it's not the focus of the story. Parents Will Love: Mulan may hail from a notoriously patriarchal culture, but she challenges the belief that girls are only good in the domestic sphere. One of Disney's best role models, Mulan is a brave young woman who protects her father, pulls a Joan of Arc, and surprises everyone -- including herself -- with her skills as a warrior and a national hero. Girls need more movies like "Mulan." Did You Know? Disney originally planned to make a short straight-to-video film called "China Doll," a Cinderella-esque story about a sad and oppressed Chinese girl who falls in love with an English man, who takes her back to the United Kingdom.

Lessons Learned Through the Implementation of an eHealth Physical Activity Gaming Intervention with High School Youth. To encourage high school students to meet physical activity goals using a newly developed game, and to document the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of using an electronic gaming application to promote physical activity in high school students. Working with youth and game designers an electronic game, Camp Conquer, was developed to motivate high school students to meet physical activity goals. One-hundred-five high school students were recruited to participate in a 12-week pilot test of the game and randomly assigned to a Game Condition or Control Condition. Students in both conditions received a FitBit to track their activity, and participants in the Game Condition received access to Camp Conquer. Number of steps and activeminutes each day were tracked for all participants. FitBit use, game logins, and qualitative feedback from researchers, school personnel, and participants were used to determine intervention engagement. The majority of study participants did not consistently wear their FitBit or engage with the gaming intervention. Numerous design challenges and barriers to successful implementation such as the randomized design, absence of a true school-based champion, ease of use, and game glitches were identified. Developing games is an exciting technique for motivating the completion of a variety of health behaviors. Although the present intervention was not successful in increasing physical activity in high school students, important lessons were learned regarding how to best structure a gaming intervention for the high school population.

Species of the Opuntia or prickly pear genus of cacti are endemic to the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) training area in Alberta, Canada. They are known to provoke a dermatitis reaction in harvesters of the cacti fruit. It's spines are frequently an uncomfortable nuisance to unwary soldiers exercising in BATUS. We report two cases of particularly debilitating adverse skin reactions to the cacti spines that occurred during the 2010 Exercise Prairie Thunder season.

This study presents a geographical comparison of state-specific prevalence estimates of children who are at risk of overweight and/or overweight using the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health. Using the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health, we computed prevalence estimates of children who are at risk of overweight and/or overweight among a nationally representative sample of 69,000 children between 5 and 17 years old. Overall, 36.4% of the children (39.8% of the boys and 32% of the girls) in the sample were in the combined category of at risk of overweight or overweight, representing an estimated 17 million US children. We found geographic variation at the state and the regional levels. The southeastern

The cover-up of president Urho Kekkonen's dementia and its impact on the political life of Finland-a personal account. Urho Kekkonen, born in 1900, was elected President of Finland in 1956. He stayed in office for 25 years, the longest term for any democratically elected chief of state, until his resignation in 1981. Since he was always a model of good health, news of his cognitive decline while still in office came as a surprise to the whole nation. The impact was aggravated by an attempted cover-up of his dementia. The attempt failed and the health of presidential candidates became, suddenly, a topic of intense public discussion. No special team of presidential doctors was established but Kekkonen's successor initiated a practice of reporting annually on his health.

Improvement of laboratory skills of Chemical and Civil Engineering students using an interdisciplinary service-learning project for water quality and supply assessment in low-income homes. The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) develops the UBANEX program, focused on service-learning projects for students involving social, environmental and public health concerns. One of the proposals was a collaborative project between UBA and the National University of General Sarmiento. Based on the hypothesis that students' voluntary involvement in social concerns improves their attitudes towards themselves and learning, the aim was to focus on the development of social and professional skills by implementing an interdisciplinary work for water quality and supply assessment in low-income homes from a southern district of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. Eighteen volunteers-Chemical and Civil Engineering students-were recruited during August-December 2016.the United Nations last week. He mixed childish insults toward Kim Jung-un with a genocidal promise to "totally destroy" North Korea. Just before that, however, all but four Senate Democrats--with liberal standard-bearer Elizabeth Warren not among the four--joined their Republican colleagues in approving Trump's $700 billion military budget. The Democrats thus gave a blank check to the warmonger-in-chief at the very moment he is threatening nuclear war in Asia. The Democrats' unity with the Republicans on the U.S. military budget and interventions should come as no surprise. Far from being an antiwar party, the Democrats initiated most of Washington's imperialist wars in the 20th century. And they backed the ones started by Republican, including Bush's so-called "global war on terror" that started with wars on Afghanistan and Iraq. Clearly we are

The epidemiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Finland. A study based on the death certificates of 421 patients. The mortality and prevalence of ALS in the various countries of Finland was studied. The work was based on death certificates derived from a 10-year period from 1963 to 1972, and altogether 421 cases were found. The mean duration of the disease was 2.7 years, and the mean age at death was 61.2 years. The average annual mortality rate was 0.91 per 100,000. The male to female ratio was 0.87 to 1, males outnumbered females only in age groups under 65. Some clustering of the cases seems to be taking place in the south-eastern part of the country.

The position is part time as Von will also be serving as a local church pastor. The position is currently being referred to by a combined title, Tennessee Conference Historian and Archivist, although the role of conference archivist is actually a separate position appointed by the Commission on Archives and History while Rev. Unruh’s position of historian and archivist came as a conference appointment. The Historical Library and Archives will begin a new schedule, being opened

Wasp uses venom cocktail to manipulate the behavior of its cockroach prey. The sting of the parasitoid wasp Ampulex compressa is unusual, as it induces a transient paralysis of the front legs followed by grooming behavior and then by a long-term hypokinesia of its cockroach prey. Because the wasp's goal is to provide a living meal for its newborn larva, the behavioral changes in the prey are brought about by manipulating the host behavior in a way beneficial to the wasp and its offspring. To this end, the wasp injects its venom cocktail with two consecutive stings directly into the host's central nervous system. The first sting in the thorax causes a transient front leg paralysis lasting a few minutes. This paralysis is due to the presence of aThey have just signed former NRL star Fuifui Moimoi and announced a landmark broadcast television deal that will see them promoted across the UK and that is just the beginning of Toronto Wolfpack's ambitious plan to take the rugby league world by storm. Canada's first professional rugby league team will start their inaugural season in the UK's third division in 2017, but they don't plan on being down there long. For the Wolfpack's CEO Eric Perez, it is the culmination of a journey he started in 2010 when he quit his job in advertising with a hair brain view to bring rugby league to Canada. The recent announcement of a broadcast deal, new kit sponsor and signing of Moimoi is just phase one of his bold plan to revolutionise the world

However, mediastinal lymph node metastasis developed 1 year and 2 months after the surgery. Subsequently, the patient developed lymphangitic carcinomatosis and died at 4 years and 2 months after the surgery. Case 2 involves an 80-year-old woman who underwent surgery (Bt+Ax) for the treatment of carcinoma of the left breast when she was 62 years of age. She had the swelling of the left chest wall in the 18th year from surgery, and was diagnosed recurrence of breast cancer at the chest wall, lumpectomy was performed at the left chest wall, whereas ablation was performed for the left third and fourth rib and sternal complications. No signs of recurrence have been observed for 1 year and 7 months after the surgery. Thus, ablation was performed for the treatmentThe Genetic Structure of Populations of the Douglas-Fir Swiss Needle Cast Fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii in New Zealand. Swiss needle cast is a foliar disease of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) that results in premature foliage loss and reduced growth. The causal fungus, Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii, was first detected in New Zealand in 1959 and spread throughout the North and South Islands over the following decades. The contemporary genetic structure of the N. gaeumannii population in New Zealand was assessed by analyzing 468 multilocus SSR genotypes (MLGs) from 2,085 N. gaeumannii isolates collected from 32 sites in the North and South Islands. Overall diversity was lower than that reported from native N. gaeumannii populations in the northwestern United States, which was expected given that N. gaeumannii is introduced in New Zealand. Linkage disequilibrium

was significantly higher than expected under random mating, suggesting that population structure is clonal. Populations of N. gaeumannii in the North and South Islands were weakly differentiated, and the isolates collected from sites within the islands were moderately differentiated. This suggests that gene flow has occurred between the N. gaeumannii populations in the North and South Islands, and between the local N. gaeumannii populations within each island. Eighteen isolates of N. gaeumannii Lineage 2, which has previously been reported only from western Oregon, were recovered from two sites in the North Island and four sites in the South Island. The most likely explanation for the contemporary distribution of N. gaeumannii in New Zealand is that it was introduced on infected live seedlings through the forestry or ornamental nurserykolya is one of the richest films i've seen in some time . zdenek sverak plays a confirmed old bachelor ( who's likely to remain so ) , who finds his life as a czech cellist increasingly impacted by the five-year old boy that he's taking care of . though it ends rather abruptly-- and i'm whining , 'cause i wanted to spend more time with these characters-- the acting , writing , and production values are as high as , if not higher than , comparable american dramas . this father-and-son delight-- sverak also wrote the script , while his son , jan , directed-- won a golden globe for best foreign language film and , a couple days after i saw it , walked away an

Ben Crow behind him. Tellstrom got out of the blocks early, but quickly lost ground to Newhouse, whose The Car Store machine was the fastest on the quarter-mile during the race’s middle stages. Behind the lead group, local favorite Colton Nelson worked through a disagreement between Monroe and Cedar Hills, Utah’s Jeff Hillock to put his racer third. No sooner had Nelson made the pass than Monroe spun hard into the turn three concrete. A fire erupted from the back of the car, but Monroe calmly climbed from his stricken machine unscathed. Newhouse’s car was never the same after the final race restart. Though he could keep in contact with Tellstrom, the Twin Falls, Idaho racer failed to mount a challenge through the race’s closing laps, instead concentrating his effortsCharles-Edouard Brown-Séquard: an eventful life and a significant contribution to the study of the nervous system. This is an account of the life of a 19th-century physiologist who was born in 1817 in Port-Louis (Mauritius Island, formerly 'Ile de France') and died in Paris in 1894. His mother tongue, education and medical training were French, but as the 'Ile de France' had become British a few years before his birth, he was a British citizen and therefore ineligible for a permanent position in a French institution. This explains, partly at least, his eventful life, during which he restlessly wandered during several decades between France, the United States, Great Britain and Mauritius, without ever finding a position that would satisfy him. This difficult period lasted until 1879 when, having finally

acquired French nationality, he succeeded Claude Bernard in the chair of experimental medicine at the 'Collège de France'. Some of his contributions to the physiology of the nervous system are analysed: sensory pathways in the spinal cord, vasoconstrictor innervation, nervous inhibition and experimental epilepsy.Prior to the influx of north africans and middle easteners, rape was almost unheard of in Sweden and Norway.

The deputy social media director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign admits she never had "the cool candidate." "We were never the cool candidate," Emmy Bengtson wrote in a Medium post commemorating the one-year anniversary since the election. "It was very, very hard to convince people to 'come out' with their support of Hillary." Bengtson, who started at Clinton's Brooklyn headquarters in May 2015, said instead the team "showed why knowing issues inside and out and never, ever quitting were worthy of the same respect." Nov. 8, 2016, was "the best day and the worst night of my life," Bengtson recalled in the post. She added that President Trump, a prolific Twitter user, "represents the most serious threat of political social media." "Total lack of constraint becomes 'authenticity,' which supersedes sanity or competence,"The validity of instruments measuring tic severity in Tourette's syndrome. By using four different scales that measure tic severity in Tourette's syndrome, three independent judges concurrently evaluated their validity and interjudge reliability in 20 affected individuals. The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, Tourette's Syndrome Severity Scale, Tourette's Syndrome-Clinical Global Impression Scale, and the Hopkins Motor and Vocal Tic Scale were equally effective in determining overall severity and showed good interrater reliability. Both historical information and direct observation of the subject were shown to have a significant contribution towards the overall assessment of tic severity. With all instruments, tic symptom ratings were shown to be independent of those for either attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. A 67% incidence of behavioral problems and social difficulties was identified by the Child

The registered dietitian in primary care: the Hamilton experience. The Hamilton Health Service Organization Nutrition Program integrates nine registered dietitians (RDs) into the offices of 80 family physicians (FPs) at 50 sites in Hamilton, Ontario. The program is based on a shared care model, in which FPs and RDs work collaboratively to provide nutrition services aimed at prevention, treatment, and management of nutrition-related problems. In addition to their clinical role, dietitians in the program are involved in health promotion, disease prevention and early intervention strategies, interdisciplinary collaboration, building links with community services, and research. The RDs' specialized knowledge, skills, and experience allow them to provide a wide range of services that complement and augment those of the FP. This model is consistent with Canadian health care reform recommendations and'Intergalactic Travel Bureau' Wants to Plan Your Space Vacation Below: Next story in Space NEW YORK - If you're thinking about taking an exotic vacation this summer, why not look beyond Earth to one of the many intriguing destinations in our solar system?

The free event is designed to spur imagination and invention between artists and the public in participatory ways. The festival will provide a

[The psychiatrist and stress, or the psychiatrist's stress...]. Today's popular image of the psychiatrist is often that of a specialist capable of analysing, with a sort of bewildering power, all of his patients's reactions and psychological problems. The patient's capacity to unfold appears to increase almost as a result of the psychiatrist's control over his own emotions. The author, who is here referring to Epinal's image of the infallible psychiatrist, believes that the psychiatrist, in moments of privacy can observe the effects of his own emotional stress and how they often relate to his unresolved neurotic problems. It is in his practice, nevertheless, that the psychiatrist can privilege and give meaning to his own emotional stress in order to gain deeper insight in his mode of relating to hisPromised Gift of Charles and Valerie Diker // Photo: Dirk Bakker A shield by Joseph No Two Horns (He Nupa Wanica) (1852–1942) ca. 1885 from Standing Rock Reservation, North Dakota.

[LASER applications in endodontics]. Since the development of the ruby laser by Maiman in 1960 and the application of the laser for endodontics by Weichman in 1971, a variety of lasers with a wide range of characteristics are now being used in endodontic therapy. In the past two decades much experience and knowledge has been gained The first purpose of the present paper is to provide an understanding of the essential physical science behind laser technology and information on the effects of laser beams on tissue (tissue interaction). A second purpose is to summarize laser applications in endodontics, including their use in pulp diagnosis, dentinal hypersensitivity, pulp capping and pulpotomy, modification of the root canal walls, sterilization of the root canal system, cleaning--shaping--obturation of the root canal, and endodonticthreat and told to avoid large crowds on Thursday night, as a foreign intelligence tip-off suggested Islamic State was planning attacks with five to seven suicide bombers.

Antithrombin drugs represent a wide group of natural agents, recombinant agents equivalent to some of the naturally occurring proteins, and synthetic agents. This group of drugs is characterized by marked structural and functional heterogeneity. Several of these drugs are currently in various phases of development. Argatroban represents the first clinically approved antithrombin agent, which was made available in Japan several years ago. Two recombinant hirudin preparations, Revasc (Novartis) and Refludan (Aventis), are available for postsurgical DVT prophylaxis and alternate anticoagulant use in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. A synthetic antithrombin agent based on the combined structures of hirudin and antithrombin peptides, hirulog (Bivalirudin), is undergoing clinical trials in cardiovascular indications. Additional studies on the hirudins are being carried out to

The American College of Nurse-Midwives' Domestic Violence Education Project: evaluation and results. From October 1994 through September 1998, the American College of Nurse Midwives conducted a nationwide Domestic Violence Education Project. The project aimed to encourage universal screening for domestic violence among all women being seen for care. A four-pronged set of objectives was used, including policy, basic education, continuing education, and advocacy/activism. A description of the project and the results of the project evaluation, including replicable features, are presented. Process and outcome evaluations were performed using both quantitative and qualitative data. Surveys, interviews, and site visits formed the basis for the evaluation of the policy reform, education program, and advocacy components. Pretests and posttests of training participants formed the basis of the evaluation of the continuing education component.offering up spoilers, the central thesis of the book is that, viewed from the perspective of today, the level of worldwide social development prior to the industrial revolution is effectively in the noise. (Although McAfee didn't get into this, the answer to the book title's question is basically that the West was better positioned to create and take advantage of the industrial revolution when the factors making it possible came together. It's a great read. If nothing else, it's a good history of the world from the perspective of the Western and Eastern core.) The industrial revolution had such an impact because it overcame the limitations of human muscles. (I suppose, given farm animals, it would be more accurate to say it overcame the limits of human and domesticated mammal

In all cases, a successful result was obtained within a varying period, sometimes accompanied by spectacular improvement in general condition. The most plausible etiopathogenic hypothesis advanced to attempt to explain this phenomenon is that of secondary infection by a varied microbial flora, including, on the one hand, aerobic organisms usually discovered in such cases (pseudomonas pyocyaneus, proteus mirabilis) and, secondly, this being of essential importance, "anaerobic" bacteria, the bacteriological diagnosis of which requires application of

core of a veritable legion of acolytes. Kim Kelly provided an excellent overview of war metal for Invisible Oranges back in 2012, which as a primer for the uninitiated and as a history of the microgenre as of 2012 is well worth your time. Perhaps we will look at 2017 as "the year war metal broke through," similar to how stoner metal did in 2006. Or perhaps it's just another passing fad for hessians to gobble up for a hot minute and then move on from, like cascadian black metal or black 'n roll. Yet the fact that this genre has remained largely unaltered since 1993 would seem to speak to the former. That it is getting big now is simply the result of a superhumanly dedicated fanbase puttingDrainage from a Fluid-Handling Component with Multiple Orifices due to Inclination or Rotation. The onset of drainage of liquids from fluid-handling components with two or more orifices was evaluated. The components were filled with water, ethylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol and oriented vertically with their orifices facing downward. The lower end of the components was slowly raised toward the horizon. No flow occurred until a critical angle of inclination was reached. The resistance to drainage was greatest for small, closely spaced orifices and declined precipitously as the size and spacing of the orifices increased. The onset of drainage was successfully modeled as a balance between the hydrostatic pressure in the bulk liquid and the Laplace pressure of the air-liquid interfaces present within the orifices.

Malaria and the Anopheles mosquitoes of Tajikistan. Surveys of Anopheles mosquitoes were conducted in urban, rural, and natural areas of Tajikistan to obtain updated information on their distributions, especially in southern districts of the country where malaria is a prevalent disease. Nine species of Anopheles are found in Tajikistan. Anopheles superpictus, An. claviger, An. hyrcanus, and An. pulcherrimus are the most widespread and abundant species. Investigations in northern Tajikistan confirmed the presence of An. artemievi and the absence of An. martinius, both members of the An. maculipennis complex of malaria vectors. Anopheles barianensis, An. lindesayi, and An. marteri sogdianus, species previously recorded in the country, were not encountered during our surveys. The history of Anopheles and malaria research in Tajikistan is reviewed and bionomical and distributional information is providedbe named.

The impact of hormonal fluctuations on female vocal folds. Sex hormone fluctuations were shown to affect female vocal folds and laryngeal function. Laryngeal changes are evident throughout the span of life, starting at puberty with the arousal of the hormonal system, fluctuating systematically during the reproductive years with the menstrual cycle, and then changing again with the decline of hormonal activity at menopause. This paper reviews recent developments in this field. Early studies that explored this relation were based merely on subjective impressions of voice quality, recent studies have used more objective tools for examining this relation, including histologic observations, stroboscope, electroglottography (EGG), and computerized acoustic analyses. In these studies, the larynx was shown to be a hormonal target organ and, as such, sex hormones affect its morphology, histology,Kyrgyzstan The mountains, including the Tian Shan Mountains (pictured), give Kyrgyzstan a unique culture, partially formed from this isolation from the mountains.

Mercury contamination of the environment from historical and ongoing mining practices that rely on mercury amalgamation for gold extraction is widespread. Contamination was particularly severe in the immediate vicinity of gold extraction and refining operations; however, mercury, especially in the form of water-soluble methylmercury, may be transported to pristine areas by rainwater, water currents, deforestation, volatilization, and other vectors. Examples of gold mining-associated mercury pollution have been shown for Canada, the U.S., Africa, China, the Philippines, Siberia, and South America. In parts of Brazil, for example, mercury concentrations in all abiotic materials, plants, and animals, including endangered species of mammals and reptiles, collected near ongoing mercury amalgamation gold mining sites were far in excess of allowable mercury levels promulgated

laryngeal nerves, the recurrent nerves and the collateral ramification were then totally isolated. The anastomotic loop in question links the two recurrent nerves at the crossing of the oesophagus-tracheal virtual space. It appears to originate on the right as well as on the left side, respectively at the cervicodiastinal junction level and in the thorax. The anastomosis was isolated in each specimen. Its constant presence and its morphology should be proof enough of its being an anatomical and surgical reality. Only in one case did the loop pass in front of trachea instead of crossing the oesophagus-tracheal space, while maintaining, however, the same inclination and morphology. A future, wider study should focus on the understanding of the loop's function, as well as of its possible utilization in surgicalA flare-up of tuberculosis due to war in Congo Brazzaville. Congo Brazzaville, a country with a population of 3 million, experienced a period of war from 1997 to 1999. Before this time the annual increase in numbers of tuberculosis cases was on average 20%; in 2000 it was 84%. This situation had a considerable impact on the activities of the National Tuberculosis Programme. Before the war the diagnostic and treatment centres had notified nearly 100% of new cases of tuberculosis; in 2000 this had dropped to 76.19%, whereas the number of tuberculosis patients had almost doubled, from 5125 in 1999 to 9436 in 2000. New cases of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis represent 45% of cases, in comparison with an average of 55% before the war, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis 30% versus

Design and methods of the evaluation of an HPV-based cervical cancer screening strategy in Mexico: The Morelos HPV Study. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and methodology of the Morelos HPV Study. The main objective of this study is to examine the use of two different methods for obtaining HPV DNA specimens, self-collected vaginal and clinician-collected cervical, to detect pre-invasive cervical lesions and cancer. This study was conducted within the regular population-based framework of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) cervical cancer screening program in Morelos. A total of 7,868 women were recruited between May and October 1999 and are representative of the population of women attending cervical cancer screening services at the 23 IMSS clinics in the state of Morelos in 1999.

Since it began in the mid-1990s, the debate surrounding the normalisation of adolescent recreational drug use has attracted considerable attention and has tended to polarise opinion within the field. In this article two of the main protagonists in the debate come together to discuss its legacy. Focusing on the twin themes of continuity and change the authors begin by considering the relevance of early developments in the sociology of drug use, noting that this earlier work anticipated much that has recently been written on the subject, including the emphasis on hedonism and consumption in leisure lifestyles. From here they go on to critically reflect on the role that structure and agency

have played in the normalisation debate, suggesting that the original thesis underplayed the role of structural influences in favour of a rational action model of adolescent drug use. In their more recent work, both authors have come to emphasise how drug use is shaped by an interplay between social structure and human agency. While some areas of disagreement remain, they agree that normalisation is best understood as a contingent process negotiated by distinct social groups operating in bounded situations.near to Marfleet, Kingston Upon Hull, Great Britain Fin The back end of a pole mounted 1957 F.6 Hawker Hunter fighter plane outside the Humbrol/Airfix factory on Hedon Road, Hull.

[Aflatoxins: current concepts on mechanisms of toxicity and their involvement in the etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma]. Current concepts derived from intensive research over the last decade, on biotransformation, mechanisms of toxicity and evidences for the involvement of aflatoxins in the etiology of human liver cancer are summarily presented. Aflatoxin B1(AFB1), the main metabolite produced by moulds of genus Aspergillus, exerts its effects after conversion to the reactive compound AFB1-epoxide, by the action of cytochrome P450-dependent enzymes. This epoxide can form derivatives with cellular macromolecules, including proteins, RNA and DNA. The reaction with DNA occurs with guanines in the códon 249 of tumor suppressor gene p53. Primary biotransformation of AFB1 also produces hydroxylated and less toxic derivatives, such as aflatoxins Q1 and P1.

The objective of the present study was to survey epidemiology of oto- and rhinosinusogenic intracranial complications that are currently diagnosed at the territory of the Russian Federation. The work was based on the analysis of the official statistical reports together with the data obtained from the chief specialists responsible for the otorhinolaryngological services in 32 subjects of the Russian Federation during the period from 2009 to 2014. It was shown that the state of the otorhinolaryngological service in the period covered by the study was characterized by the reduction in the number of beds available for the patients presenting with ENT pathology by 14.0% and the lowering of the hospitalization rate for the general population by 6.3%.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices on HIV / AIDS in the south region of Cameroon: case of the town of Kribi. The aim of our study was to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding HIV/AIDS in the city of Kribi, southern region of Cameroon. In November 2012, a questionnaire composed of 20 items was administered by trained staff from the Biomedical Sciences Department of the University of Dschang to 200 students selected from four population groups: high school students, local traders, tourism personnel (staff of bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs), and motorcycle taxi drivers. A cluster sampling method was used to select the first three groups while motorcycle taxi drivers were selected by the method of all comers. KAP regarding HIV/AIDS was found to be fragmentary in the studied population.Fri June 8, 2012 After NAACP Marriage Stance, Discord And Discussion The Rev. Ralph Abernathy (from left), the Rev.

Analysis and characterization of antiviral drug-resistant cytomegalovirus isolates from solid organ transplant recipients. The development of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease and subsequent emergence of drug-resistant strains was examined in a large group of solid organ transplant recipients; drug-resistant CMV was detected in a total of 30 transplant recipients (20 lung, 5 kidney, 4 heart, and 1 liver). Drug resistance was confirmed both phenotypically and genotypically. The sequences of drug-resistant CMV strains from the same patient differed from drug-susceptible baseline sequences only at single sites previously confirmed to confer drug resistance. At least 1 isolate from each patient had a mutation in the UL97 phosphotransferase coding sequence. Mutations in the DNA polymerase gene were found in 6 of 38 sequenced strains. Lung transplant recipients had the highest incidence of drug-resistant virus:to the world. Here you go. Now I am free.

health, including the loss of life, the committed drinker remained dedicated to drinking. In December of 1933, the Twenty-first Amendment was now in effect. Its sole purpose was repealing the Eighteenth Amendment, the only amendment to have that distinction. The reason Prohibition was repealed wasn’t due to the tragedy it had on human life, although that should have been enough since there was more loss of life in a year’s period than from the entire World War I (5), but rather due to the development of organized crime and a major loss of tax revenue (bingo) to the government.

Labelling of afferent components of the vagus nerve was seen in two ferrets and two mink with the best labelling obtained following an injection of an HRP/WGA-HRP mixture into the nodose ganglion. Labelled afferents were observed to cross the ipsilateral spinal trigeminal tract (SpV) before entering the tractus solitarius (TS) in regions separate from the motor axons which exit the medulla in separate fasicles. Sensory terminal fields were identified bilaterally in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (nTS) in both species and bilaterally in the area postrema (ap) of the ferret; however, the contralateral labelling was sparse in comparison to the densely labelled ipsilateral nTS/ap. Maximal terminal labelling was seen in regions just rostral and caudal to obex in both species.

Intraoperative and external radiotherapy in resected gastric cancer: updated report of a phase II trial. From September 1984 to August 1991, 48 evaluable patients with resected gastric cancer and apparent disease confined to locoregional area were treated with intraoperative electron beam boost to the celiac axis and peripancreatic nodal areas (15 Gy) and external irradiation (40 to 46 Gy in 4 to 5 weeks) including the gastric bed and upper abdominal nodal draining regions. At the time of evaluation for IORT, the disease was primary in 38 cases, recurrent but resectable in four (anastomosis), and unresectable in four (nodal). Post operative complications were reversible. Acute tolerance to the complete treatment program was acceptable. Late complications included life-threatening events: Six episodes of gastro intestinal bleeding (three of them had anDefense Secretary Chuck Hagel stands in front of an F-35 joint strike fighter as he talks to reporters inside a hangar at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

of drug released was proportional to the square root of time. The release rates of both drugs increased linearly with increasing drug concentration and polyvinyl pyrrolidone fraction in the film, but was found to be independent of film thickness. The increase in release rate may be due to leaching of hydrophilic fraction of the film former which resulted in the formation of pores. It was also observed that the release of drugs from the films followed a diffusion-controlled model at low drug concentrations. A burst effect was observed initially, however, at high drug loading levels. This may be due to rapid dissolution of the surface drug followed by the diffusion of drug through the polymer network in the film.

To facilitate turf growth, aerator machines are used to relieve turf compaction and thatch build up. The machines aerate the turf by punching holes in the turf, which create sod plugs, also known as sod cores. The sod cores are generally cylindrical and comprise a layer of grass, a tightly woven layer of thatch, and a layer of roots and soil including rocks, sand, and clay. The thatch layer, which includes both living and dead matter, grows in an outwardly expanding layer above the soil, which significantly deters growth thus necessitating removal. In contrast, the soil and root layer is often composed of

Young African-American multigenerational families in poverty: quality of mothering and grandmothering. Parenting practices (problem-solving and disciplinary styles) in a sample of 99 young, low-income, African-American multigenerational families were examined, using home-based observations of grandmothers and young mothers (mean age at first birth: 18.3; range = 13.3 to 25.5), interacting separately with 3-year-old children. A risk and resilience approach was applied in studying African-American families' behavior in harsh social contexts, and included a consideration of the role of kin, shared child rearing between mothers and grandmothers, coresidence, and adolescent parenthood. Mothers and grandmothers did not differ in the mean level of the quality of their parenting practices. Similarly, few significant correlations in parenting quality across generations were evident, and these primarily involved negative dimensions of parenting between younger childbearers andgrandmothers. No main effect of mothers' age at first birth on mothers' parenting was found. In contrast, there was a main effect of grandmother coresidence on both mothers' and grandmothers' parenting, which was negative. Moreover, the interaction between coresidence and mothers' age at first birth indicated that multigenerational families most likely to provide positive parenting were those where older mothers did not reside with the grandmother. Yet, in families with very young mothers, coresiding grandmothers showed higher quality of parenting than did non-coresiding grandmothers.

This is an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study. A total of 46 lay judges analyzed 48 samples (counting numbers 1 to 10) of 24 women with Reinke's edema - the Reinke's Edema Group (REG) and 24 individuals, men and women, with other types of voice disorders - Control Group (CG). The judges had to classify the voices as being of a man or a woman. Additionally, they needed to indicate their certainty or not about their choice. Results were associated with the severity of the Reinke's edema

Benefits and costs of universal hearing screening programme. Hearing loss affects 1-3 out of 1000 newborns. A programme of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) was implemented in our ENT department in February 2000. In 2001, the programme was extended to all the hospitals of the canton Geneva. The programme is based on the recording of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) from all newborns. In addition, automated auditory brainstem responses (aABR) are recorded in high-risk neonates. In the report, we compare the mean age at which rehabilitation of hearing was undertaken during a 5-year period before and after the screening programme was instituted. We also identify some causes of delayed diagnosis and intervention and the pitfalls of universal hearing screening. The price of the UNHS programme is estimated at 26Location Abington School District v. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203 (1963), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court decided 8–1 in favor of the respondent, Edward Schempp, and declared school-sponsored Bible reading in public schools in the United States to be unconstitutional. More famous than Schempp was Madalyn Murray O'Hair, mother of plaintiff William J. Murray III, in Murray v. Curlett. O'Hair founded the group American Atheists in 1963. The Murray case was consolidated with Schempp's on appeal to the Supreme Court.

of the Garden City Broncbusters basketball team. And when the announcer asked everyone to stand for the national anthem, he dutifully joined the crowd and stood at attention. That’s when he noticed a lone player seated on a bench at courtside – Rasool Samir, a 19-year-old Muslim red-shirt. It was unusual because there’s a team rule that the entire basketball team was supposed to stay inside the locker room until after the national anthem had concluded. But as the crowd began singing about the bombs bursting in air and the rocket’s red glare, the Muslim basketball player grabbed a ball, walked onto the court and began shooting baskets. “It was an ‘in your face slam,’” he said. Mr. Howard decided enough was enough. He was tired of people disrespecting the national anthem. SoThe xyloglucan-cellulose assembly at the atomic scale. The assembly of cell wall components, cellulose and xyloglucan (XG), was investigated at the atomistic scale using molecular dynamics simulations. A molecular model of a cellulose crystal corresponding to the allomorph Ibeta and exhibiting a flexible complex external morphology was employed to mimic the cellulose microfibril. The xyloglucan molecules considered were the three typical basic repeat units, differing only in the size of one of the lateral chain. All the investigated XG fragments adsorb nonspecifically onto cellulose fiber; multiple arrangements are equally probable, and every cellulose surface was capable of binding the short XG molecules. The following structural effects emerged: XG molecules that do not have any long side chains tended to adapt themselves nicely to the topology of the microfibril, forming

The concept of children's agency first appeared in the health literature in the 1980s and was defined as an ability children could gradually develop. Later on, children's agency was used to refer to the capacity of all children to influence their own and others' health-care needs and is now increasingly used to refer to children as active agents who reflect on and construct their social worlds.

Pharmaceutical new product development: the increasing role of in-licensing. Many pharmaceutical companies are facing a pipeline gap because of the increasing economic burden and uncertainty associated with internal research and development programs designed to develop new pharmaceutical products. To fill this pipeline gap, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly relying on in-licensing opportunities. New business development identifies new pharmaceuticals that satisfy unmet needs and are a good strategic fit for the company, completes valuation models and forecasts, evaluates the ability of the company to develop and launch products, and pursues in-licensing agreements for pharmaceuticals that cannot be developed internally on a timely basis. These agreements involve the transfer of access rights for patents, trademarks, or similar intellectual property from an outside company in exchange for payments. Despite the risks, in-licensing isAUSTIN, Texas -- Bevo XIII, the longest-tenured mascot in Texas Longhorns history, has gone to the big ranch in the sky. Bevo XIII, whose actual name was Sunrise Express, was a world champion steer at 3 years old before he became the Texas mascot. AP Photo/Rodolfo Gonzalez The retired mascot died Monday on the private ranch where he lived with his successor, Bevo XIV, the Silver Spurs spirit club announced Tuesday. "They would hang out together," said former Bevo XIII handler Ricky Brennes. "Bevo XIV would follow him around." Bevo XIII, 22, was on the Texas sideline for 16 seasons, starting in 1988. During his tenure, the Longhorns had three head coaches and won a Big 12 football title and Ricky Williams won the Heisman Trophy. Bevo XIII retired before the 2004 season. He had reached his life expectancy and had

Distribution of connectin (titin) and transverse tubules at myotendinous junctions. The ends of muscle fibers form many longitudinal projections which are further divided into numerous processes and attach to the collagen fibrils of tendons to form myotendinous junctions (MTJs). Immunocytochemical and electron microscopic observations on pectoralis muscles of the chicken revealed the presence of an elastic filamentous protein, connectin (titin), within the terminal sarcomere on the side adjacent to the terminal Z bands, and the absence of connectin and myosin and the presence of actin at the apical sarcoplasmic region of MTJ processes between the terminal Z band and the MTJ sarcolemma. Intermediate voltage electron microscopy showed that T tubules in the terminal sarcomere were absent at the level of the A-I junction on the MTJ side in theUFO enthusiasts gathered in Mexico to view the slides (Picture YouTube) Last week, UFO researchers claimed to have made a miraculous discovery – sixty-year-old slides showing a tiny alien being transported from the site of the Roswell crash in 1947. An arena full of people in Mexico paid to watch the unveiling of the Roswell Slides – and thousands more tuned in around the world. Billed as the big reveal which ‘proved aliens existed,’ the event created massive publicity around the world. This week, keen-eyed internet detectives applied an image processing programme, Smart Deblur to one of the images, and found a placard which seems to say, ‘Mummified Body of Two Year Old Boy.’ Further down are words which seem to say, ‘San Francisco Museum’. This, as UFO researchers might put it, really is

of the students in the short course are expected to enter the pipeline for supply of future investigators and educators in biology and related areas. This short course will broaden the exposure of these students to the fields of regenerative and developmental biology, in the form of a training event of the highest quality, as well as to offer opportunities to work with established laboratories in the various countries. PROJECT NARRATIVE: This short course "Concepts and Model Organisms in Regenerative Biology" is organized jointly by the Society for Developmental Biology (in U.S.) and the Latin American Society for Developmental Biology (LASDB). It aims in training postdoctoral fellows and advanced graduate students in the Western Hemisphere in understanding the fundamental questions and innovative approaches in developmental and regenerative biology,Latinos, even surpassing African Americans on some economic indicators. The 2000s, however, ushered in higher rates of Latino poverty; the economic circumstances of Latinos also deteriorated more rapidly in new vis-à-vis traditional destinations. By 2010, individual and family poverty rates in new destinations were significantly higher among Latinos than African Americans, despite higher labor force participation and lower levels of unemployment. Difference-in-difference models demonstrate that in both the 1990s and 2000s, economic trajectories of African Americans in new Latino destinations largely mirrored those observed in places without large Latino influxes. Any economic benefits for Latinos in new rural destinations thus have not come at the expense of African Americans.

Symptom distress as rated by advanced cancer patients, caregivers and physicians in the last week of life. To study the symptom distress as rated by patients with advanced cancer during their last week of life, and to compare patients' ratings with those perceived by caregivers and physicians. This was a prospective study on all patients admitted to the Hospice Unit of the Caritas Medical Centre with an estimated life expectancy of two weeks or less from May 2002 to September 2002. A questionnaire with a list of 13 symptoms, including pain, dyspnoea, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, cough, fatigue, cachexia, anorexia, constipation, diarrhoea, insomnia and haemoptysis, was administered to assess the distress. Distress was rated by a verbal rating scale consisting of five grades (grade 0 to grade 4).

"Thank you," she said quickly opening it and pulling out the Scrabble dictionary and Gone With The Wind paperback book. "How'd you know," she said with a laugh. She got up and kissed me on the lips again and when she did, she uncrossed and parted her legs enough to give me, yet, another up skirt view of her panties.

increasingly tapped in is the U.S. government. Congressman Frank Wolf, a Republican whose Virginia district is home to many federal worker bees, has made telecommuting his pet project. "There is nothing magic in strapping ourselves into a metal box every day only to drive to an office where we sit behind a desk working on a computer," he told a congressional committee. Wolf sees telecommuting as a way to decrease traffic, reduce air pollution, increase productivity, and frustrate terrorists. In 2004 he launched a campaign to penalize government agencies by docking funds if they fail to support telecommuting. Now the SEC, the State Department, the Department of Justice, and four other big agencies are required to offer every eligible worker the opportunity to telecommute. A 2005 survey by Milwaukee's DieringerValidation of diagnoses on death certificates for male alcoholics in Stockholm. The mortality and the causes of death have been studied in a cohort consisting of 1548 male alcoholics in Stockholm. During the period 1969-1981 there were 542 cases of death in this population. The mortality rates were triple those for males in Stockholm generally. Using the official causes of death there was a highly significant excess mortality in the following diagnostic groups: Cancer in the upper digestive region, primary hepatic cancer, cirrhosis in the liver, pancreatitis, pneumonia, alcoholism and alcoholic poisoning, suicides and other causes of violent death as well as ischemic heart disease. The underlying and contributing causes of death on the death certificates were reclassified according to ICD-rules using clinical records and autopsy protocols. It was

A major housing revitalization initiative in San Francisco, California, known as Sunnydale-Velasco, is transforming the city's largest public housing site into a mixed-income community that provides existing residents with new housing, infrastructure, services, and amenities. These examples and others illustrate the need to identify and make use of interdisciplinary approaches to ensure that all places are strong platforms for economic mobility, full democratic participation, and community health.A group of unidentified gunmen have kidnapped seven Egyptian security officers in the Sinai Peninsula, near the border with Israel, security and Bedouin sources have said. According to the sources, three policemen and four army officers who were riding in taxis travelling from Arish to Rafah cities, both in North Sinai, were stopped by armed men and kidnapped on Wednesday. Police confirmed later on Thursday that one abductee was released and arrived at one of the security forces offices to relay the kidnappers' demands. It was still not yet clear who was behind the operation or their motives. Egypt's government has been trying re-establish the state authority that collapsed in Sinai following the 2011 uprising against former president Hosni Mubarak.

Although many medical problems are generally managed in concert with a general medical physician, it is important for the podiatric physician to be familiar with some of the major diseases of the lung. Pneumonia, an infectious process within the lung, is the sixth-leading overall cause of death. Antibiotic treatment, oxygen administration, and supportive care are the mainstays of its therapy. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presents as a spectrum from chronic bronchitis, with a greater inflammatory component, to emphysema, with a more significant destructive component. Asthma, often a more episodic chronic obstructive disease, is characterized by inflammation of the airways leading to their narrowing. The work of breathing is often increased in these diseases, and treatment is with combination

With the aid of Tc-MDP-scintimetry 1-2 weeks after nailing of femoral neck fractures, it is possible to distinguish fractures liable to complications. Due to the suspicion that frequent peroperative vascular damage was caused by the four-flanged nail (Rydell), a less traumatizing cylindric nail (Hansson) with an insertion instrument was used. In a prospective investigation in January 1981-February 1982, which included all intracapsular femoral neck fractures, the two above-mentioned methods of osteosynthesis were used randomly. Intravital staining with tetracycline showed the peroperative circulation equivalent in Rydell and Hansson groups. A significant difference in postoperative isotope uptake could be noted between the two groups in 37 patients with undisplaced fractures. In 34 of 45 displaced fractures in

Secular change in chert distribution: a reflection of evolving biological participation in the silica cycle. In the modern oceans, the removal of dissolved silica from sea water is principally a biological process carried out by diatoms, with lesser contributions from radiolaria, silicoflagellates, and sponges. Because such silica in sediments is often redistributed locally during diagenesis to from nodular or bedded chert, stratigraphic changes in the facies distribution of early diagenetic chert provide important insights into the development of biological participation in the silica cycle. The abundance of chert in upper Proterozoic peritidal carbonates suggests that at this time silica was removed from seawater principally by abiological processes operating in part of the margins of the oceans.

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is the only Solar System planetary body other than Earth with a thick nitrogen atmosphere. The Voyager spacecraft confirmed that methane was the second-most abundant atmospheric constituent in Titan's atmosphere, and revealed a rich organic chemistry, but its cameras could not see through the thick organic haze. After a seven-year interplanetary journey on board the Cassini orbiter, the Huygens probe was released on 25 December 2004. It reached the upper layer of Titan's atmosphere on 14 January and landed softly after a parachute descent of almost 2.5 hours. Here we report an overview of the Huygens mission, which enabled studies of the atmosphere and surface, including in situ sampling of the organic

The involvement of suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) in immune response of Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) is a family of cytokine-inducible negative regulators of cytokine signaling and it plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. In the present study, the full-length cDNA of a SOCS (designated as EsSOCS6) was cloned from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. The open reading frame of EsSOCS6 cDNA was of 1266 bp, which encoded a polypeptide of 421 amino acid residues. There were two typically conserved SOCS family domains in EsSOCS6, including a central Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and a C-terminal SOCS box. The deduced amino acid sequence of EsSOCS6 shared 72-76% similarity with those of other SOCS6 family members. EsSOCS6 mRNA was constitutively expressedAbout Gordonville Grill Gordonville Grill is a American restaurant located at 589 Mo-Z in Gordonville, MO .

As soon as the 12th century, Al-Chayzari searched drugs falsifications. During the 17th century, retort analysis was much practiced. Selective extraction constituted a great progress. During the 18th century, gas volumetric analysis appeared. Descroizilles created volumetric analysis in liquid phase, and that gave him the opportunity for creating acidi-alcalimetry methods. Following the works of Gay-Lussac and Thénard, Liebig invented an apparatus for performing elemental analysis of organic compounds. Michael Tswett created chromatography. Polarimetry was used for dosing glucose in human urines. Kirchhoff and Bunsen created spectroscopic analysis. All these methods allowed the great development of analysis during the 20th century.

Agaricus bisporus and related Agaricus species on lignocellulose: production of manganese peroxidase and multicopper oxidases. Biotechnological, microbiological, and genetic studies of Agaricus species other than A. bisporus, the white button mushroom, have been limited so far. To expand the knowledge in the genus Agaricus, six novel wild-type isolates of Agaricus spp. were studied on their nutritional demands for enzyme production and mycelial growth. All the selected Agaricus species produced extracellular manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase activities in semi-solid rye bran cultures. Moderate MnP activities were measured for A. bisporus, A. bernardii and A. campestris. The highest laccase activities were obtained for A. bisporus and A. campestris. On soy medium, the highest mycelial tyrosinase activity was determined for A. bernardii. For A. bisporus, addition of copper caused no increase inbill to the president’s desk where it will no doubt be signed soon, one has to wonder what the media will dangle in front of us to distract us from Republican members of Congress have shown they will do anything, anything, to pass a single piece of major legislation.

of the emerging plants were monitored for the following three years. Both hybrid and wild carrots survived and flowered in highest frequency at a recently disturbed site, and much less at two older sites. Hybrids emerged in higher proportions than wild carrots in the first year and survived to similar or slightly lower frequencies at the end of the experiment. Hybrids flowered as frequently or slightly less frequently than wild plants, and developed fewer and smaller umbels. Despite a somewhat lower reproductive potential compared to wild carrots, first generation hybrids between cultivated and wild carrots are likely to survive and produce offspring in natural grasslands in Denmark. This, together with other studies, suggests that cultivar genes may transfer relatively easily into wild carrot populations.Democrats here about alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US election continues apace.

The Effect of Patient Education on the Perceptions of Resident Participation in Surgical Care. To decipher if patient attitudes toward resident participation in their surgical care can be improved with patient education regarding resident roles, education, and responsibilities. An anonymous questionnaire was created and distributed in outpatient surgery clinics that had residents involved with patient care. In total, 3 groups of patients were surveyed, a control group and 2 intervention groups. Each intervention group was given an informational pamphlet explaining the role, education, and responsibilities of residents. The first pamphlet used an analogy-based explanation. The second pamphlet used literature citations and statistics. Keesler Medical Center, Keesler AFB, MS. University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX.

Search form The Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at Tulane offers a broad interdisciplinary investigation of gender and sexuality as social, cultural, and political phenomena. The program offers a Major and Minor in addition to a Graduate Certificate. Students may choose from over forty courses taught by faculty from fourteen academic departments, four other SLA programs, and four Tulane University Schools. This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to gender and sexuality studies. Its primary focus is critical perspectives on the social construction of gender and sexuality, inequalities on the basis of gender and sexuality, activism around issues of gender and sexuality, and how gender and sexuality shape and are shaped by other systems of inequality such as race, ethnicity, class, religion, nation, region, and age. This course is an interdisciplinary explorationIn situ identification of microorganisms in biofilm communities. Diverse microorganisms form complex microbial communities and usually exist in biofilm communities in both natural environments and engineered systems such as a wastewater treatment process. However, the conventional approach to investigate microbial ecology has not contributed to the understanding and clarification of the structure and function of biofilm communities. Some effective methods have been developed to investigate phylogenetic affiliations, metabolic activities and genetic activities in biofilm communities at the single-cell level. These techniques have been contributing to a better understanding of the spatial organization of biofilm communities and activities in engineered systems. However, further effort is needed to set out the general rules governing community development in biofilm communities and to advance the process performance of engineered systems.

Kinematics of diving Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica L.): evidence for an active upstroke. To examine the propulsion mechanism of diving Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica), their three-dimensional kinematics was investigated by digital analysis of sequential video images of dorsal and lateral views. During the dives of this wing-propelled bird, the wings are partly folded, with the handwings directed backwards. The wings go through an oscillating motion in which the joint between the radius-ulna and the hand bones leads the motion, with the wing tip following.

She did this with Tofo Tofo, the Mozambican pantsula dancers who appeared in her 2011 “Run the World (Girls)” video. In her self-titled era, she sampled Nigerian feminist writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on 2013’s “***Flawless,” and Griot vocalist Ismael Kouyaté on the Afro-inspired “Grown Woman.” The Lemonade film, which was threaded by excerpts of Somali-British poet Warsan Shire’s work, featured ritual Yoruba body makeup work by Nigerian-American artist Laolu Senbanjo. During her 2018 set at Global Citizen Fest South Africa, she recruited a local choir to add Zulu backing vocals to a performance of “Halo.” And later that year, her headlining Coachella

Transportation Department that it end its ban on Israeli passengers. Kuwait does not share diplomatic relations with Israel. However, some other Arab nations that also do not have official ties with the Jewish state nevertheless permit Israeli citizens to fly on their airlines and transit through their airports to connect to flights to other countries. An academic research paper published in February found that Kuwait Airways was among five Middle Eastern carriers that intentionally omit Israel from their route maps. Earlier this month, a Facebook video posted by Israeli-Arab social media phenom Nuseir Yassin in which he criticized the ban after he was barred from boarding a Kuwait Airways flight at JFK International Airport (he had a ticket to fly to India via Kuwait) went viral.

Pain is a frequent symptom of idiopathic Parkinson's disease and has a substantial impact on quality of life. The King's Parkinson's disease pain scale (KPPS) has become internationally established and is an English-language, standardized, reliable and valid scale for evaluation of pain in idiopathic Parkinson's disease. This article presents a validated version in German. The German translation was adapted interculturally and developed using an internationally recognized procedure in consultation with the authors of the original publication. The primary text was first translated by two bilingual neuroscientists independently of one another. Thereafter, the two versions were collated to generate a consensus version, which was accepted by the translators and preliminarily trialled with 10 patients. Hereafter, the German version

was re-translated back into English by two other neurologists, again independently of one another, and a final consensus was agreed on using these versions. This English version was then compared with the original text by all of the translators, a process which entailed as many linguistic modifications to the German version as the translators considered necessary to generate a linguistically acceptable German version that was as similar as possible to the original English version. After this test text had been subsequently approved by the authors, the German text was applied to 50 patients in two hospitals, and reviewed as to its practicability and comprehensibility. This work led to the successful creation of an inter-culturally adapted and linguistically validated German version of the KPPS.

We report two cases of heterozygous Fabry disease with severe organ damage. Case 1 was a 47-year-old woman. In April 1977, at the age of 27 years, she had proteinuria and edema around the 26th week of her second pregnancy and was diagnosed as toxicosis of pregnancy. She had proteinuria after the delivery. In 1990, a renal biopsy showed zebra bodies under electron microscopic findings, and the patient was diagnosed as Fabry disease. In 1998, a myocardial biopsy showed identical findings. The patient developed severe hypertension and decreased renal function, and alpha-galactosidase enzyme replacement therapy was initiated. However, despite treatment, she was started on dialysis in 2004. Case 2 was a 40-year-old woman. In March 2003, the patient presented with severe hypertension. The

The massive book "Roots" by Haley won a Pulitzer Prize for its account of several generations of an African-American family living in America, a family which Haley said was his own. The writer said he did years of research into his ancestors before writing the book, but doubt has been cast by historians onto the research and whether the man Haley claimed was his ancestor, Kunta Kinte, actually existed. In 1978, after the book was turned into a legendary miniseries, Haley was sued by author Harold Courlander, who said that passages of "Roots" were taken from his novel "The African." Haley said he did not plagiarize but admitted that some sections of "Roots" seemed to have originally appeared in "The African."

The authors examined correlates of parenting stress among 230 gay adoptive fathers across the United States through an Internet survey. As with previous research on adoptive parents, results showed that fathers with less social support, older children, and children who were adopted at older ages reported more parenting stress. Moreover, gay fathers who had a less positive gay identity also reported more parenting stress. These 4 variables accounted for 33% of the variance in parenting stress; effect sizes were medium to large. Our results suggest the importance of social support and a positive gay identity in facilitating successful parenting outcomes among gay adoptive fathers.

A 34-year-old man presented with reduction and distortion of vision in both the eyes. The best-corrected vision was 20/20 parts, N6 in either eye. The external and slit lamp examination of both the eyes was unremarkable. The fundus examination showed multiple intraretinal crystalline deposits at the posterior pole, extending up to midperiphery, tortuous retinal blood vessels with S-shaped deflections, and absent foveal reflex in both the eyes. There were no corneal crystals, and the color vision was defective in both the eyes. Fundus autofluorescence and fundus fluorescein angiogram (FFA) were suggestive of geographic areas of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choriocapillary (CC) loss. OCT revealed subfoveal neurosensory detachment. Flash ERG and EOG were

normal except for a slight decrease in amplitude and delay in latency of pattern ERG waveforms. The Humphrey's visual field showed paracentral scotoma with reduction in the amplitude of waveforms from the corresponding area in the multifocal ERG in both the eyes. Systemic evaluation for crystalline retinopathy was unremarkable. He was diagnosed to be a case of Bietti crystalline retinopathy (local/regional variant). The subfoveal neurosensory detachment could represent early RPE dysfunction caused by these crystals and could account for the mild visual disturbance in both the eyes. Retinal vascular tortuosity and neurosensory detachment seen in this case is the first time to be reported in literature.Synthesis of novel salidroside esters by lipase-mediated acylation with various functional acyl groups. Salidroside, a natural glycoside, was enzymatically derived for the first time into novel esters using lipase as biocatalyst. The reaction system of glycoside acylation was optimized, and the effect of solvent nature, concentrations of substrate and biocatalyst, and acyl donors' structure on the acylation was studied. In the optimal system, various structures of acyl donors, either natural or unnatural, including short alkyl acyl groups, long chain acyl groups and acyl donors with aryl group were connected to molecular backbone of the glycoside, forming various structures of novel glycoside esters.

Development of autobiographical memory is as a gradual process beginning in early childhood and continuing through late adolescence. Substantial attention has been paid to early childhood when first personal memories are formed; less attention has been focused on the flourishing of memories from the late preschool years onward. We addressed this void with a three-year cohort-sequential study of age-related changes in the length, completeness, and coherence of autobiographical narratives by children 4-10 years. We also examined the unique and combined variance in autobiographical narrative explained by children's own language, maternal narrative style, domain-general cognitive abilities, non-autobiographical story recall, and memory-specific skills. There was substantial growth in autobiographical narrative skill across the 4-10-year period. Non-autobiographical story recall was a

The impact of structured training on academic medicine in the UK. Introduction of structured training has been a recent event. The programmes have been modelled on curricula produced by the medical royal colleges. Regular assessment throughout the training has helped to achieve the designed goals. This reform encourages research for up to 1 year. However, the research year would not be funded by the normal National Health Service channels. The period of research can be extended by a year without losing the national training number. If the specialist registrars take this towards the end of year 4 then they can continue in research and acquire the certificate of 'Completion of Specialist Training' yet continue with the research for a degree by thesis.

Different shades of green: a case study of support for wind farms in the rural midwest. Benton County, in north-central Indiana, USA has successfully sited more than 500 turbines. To understand Benton County's acceptance of wind farms, a holistic case study was conducted that included a document review, a survey of local residents and interviews with key stakeholders. Survey questionnaires were sent to 750 residents asking questions about attitudes toward the wind farms, perceived benefits and impacts from the wind farms, environmental attitudes, and demographic information. Key stakeholders were also interviewed for a deeper understanding of the historical timeline and community acceptance of the wind farm development. While there is limited opposition to the turbines, on the whole the community presents a front of acceptance. Financial, rather than environmental,the way he did in Miami?

Assessment of the relationship between entomologic indicators of Aedes aegypti and the epidemic occurrence of dengue virus 3 in a susceptible population, São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. The aims of this study were to describe the occurrence of dengue in space and time and to assess the relationships between dengue incidence and entomologic indicators. We selected the dengue autochthonous cases that occurred between September 2005 and August 2007 in São José do Rio Preto to calculate incidence rates by month, year and census tracts. The monthly incidence rates of the city were compared to the monthly Breteau indices (BI) of the São José do Rio Region. Between December 2006 and February 2007, an entomological survey was conducted to collect immature forms of Aedes aegypti in Jaguaré,in our apple orchard.

Diversity and Abundance of House Fly Pupal Parasitoids in Israel, with First Records of Two Spalangia Species. Filth flies (Diptera: Muscidae), particularly the house fly, Musca domestica L., are global pests of livestock production. In this study, we characterized the fauna of house fly pupal parasitoids in Israel and identified factors affecting their diversity and abundance. The study, which included one round of sampling during the fall of 2013 and another round of sampling in the spring of 2014, encompassed 26 locations of common fly-breeding habitats: dairy, egg-laying, and goat farms throughout Israel. Nine parasitoid species were found: Spalangia cameroni Perkins, Spalangia endius Walker, Spalangia drosophilae Ashmead, Spalangia gemina Boucek, Spalangia nigroaenea Curtis, Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae Rondani, Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, Muscidifurax zaraptor Kogan & Legner (all Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae),herein. Background The plaintiff, Jennifer Biscan ("Jennifer"),[2] age 16, was severely injured in a single-car automobile accident after leaving a party hosted by the defendant, Paul Worley ("Worley"), at his home in Williamson County, Tennessee. The defendant, Franklin Hughes Brown ("Brown"), age 16, drove the car in which Jennifer was riding. After the accident, Brown's blood-alcohol content was measured at .17%; Jennifer's was .032%. *467 Jennifer and her father, Robert Biscan, filed negligence actions against the driver Brown and the adult host Worley. The plaintiffs alleged that Brown's operation of the automobile while under the influence of alcohol was negligent and negligent per se. The plaintiffs alleged that Worley negligently "permitted, condoned and encouraged the unlawful consumption of alcohol by minors," that he undertook a special duty to protect the minors

The following report describes an unusual case of smothering by a medical nebulizer of a psychiatric in-patient and discusses the manner of death. A 43-year-old man, with previous medical history of paranoia was hospitalized at a psychiatric department because of a suicide attempt. He was found dead by the medical staff in the seclusion room. The patient is known suffering from asthma attacks treated by Ventoline(®) spray. Autopsy findings showed a ventoline's nebulizer impacting within the pharynx and in the upper part of oesophagus. These findings were compatible with a death by smothering. Smothering is an uncommon cause of suicide and is particularly observed in psychiatric patient. Suicidal death is established by the study of the circumstances and autopsy finding.

Experimental intracerebral haemorrhage in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats. Early changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) were studied in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) Wistar rats after the development of an experimental intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). The volume of the ICH was 200 or 400 microliters and they were located in the nucleus caudatus or the subcortical area of the occipital lobe. Our study shows that 200 microliters ICH produced both in normotensive and SHR rats similar mortality rates and ICP changes. However, 400 microliters ICH lead to a significantly higher mortality in SHR rats. The systemic hypertensive response to the increasing of ICP was not observed in SHR animals. Thus, the increase in the cerebral pressure perfusion measured in normal rats does not happenMenu The latest, most popular, high quality Sister on couch handjob2 When we ambled, i got message i know.

Contribution of medial versus lateral temporal-lobe structures to human odour identification. To investigate possible distinct contributions of different temporal-lobe structures to odour identification, the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test was administered monorhinally to seizure-free patients who had undergone one of three types of temporal-lobe resection practised in three different institutions for surgical treatment of epilepsy. The resections were neocorticectomy (Dublin), selective amygdalohippocampectomy (Zurich), or anterior temporal-lobe resection with encroachment on amygdala and hippocampus (Montreal). Resections, analysed from MRI scans, showed unexpected encroachment on medial structures in most patients of the neocorticectomy groups, and largest amygdala and hippocampal resections in the amygdalohippocampectomy groups. Impaired odour identification was observed in all patient groups, irrespective of surgical approach, with greatest impairment in the nostril ipsilateral to the resection.

Summary Measurements were carried out on 19 commercial cosmetic samples. Initially, their anti-infrared properties were quantified, in vivo, on healthy volunteers, by measuring variations in the Colorimetric Erythema Index DeltaCEI, before and after application of a normalized quantity of product. Subsequently, the physico-chemical response of the product was tested in vitro by measuring the infrared reflection coefficient DeltaIR at 800 nm. The correlation established between these two parameters enables products to be ranked in three categories. A good correlation was demonstrated between reflective power (DeltaIR) and anti-erythemic properties (-DeltaCEI) of the products in the first two groups.

A study was conducted to measure the precision of 2 rapid aflatoxin assay systems in use at 37 peanut buying points during the 1991 harvest season. Aflatoxin laboratories were established at the 37 buying points to analyze peanut samples from all incoming farmers' stock loads as part of a joint project sponsored by various segments of the U.S. peanut industry and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Eighteen laboratories were equipped with Neogen's veratox FSP rapid assay system, whereas 19 laboratories used Vicam's Aflatest rapid assay system. To monitor the performance of the field laboratories during the project, 3 portions of each of six 27 kg samples of ground peanuts were sent to each

of the HLA-Bw4 antigen. HLA class II antigens were detected by antibodies reacting with the alpha-chain of the HLA-DR molecule. An indirect immunoperoxidase technique was carried out using paraffin-embedded sections. The following groups of sections were formed: squamous metaplasia, CIN of different grades, and invasive carcinoma. The specimens were taken from women in whom routine histopathologic diagnosis of cervical lesions had been performed. A significant decrease in the mean number of stained cells showing expression of MHC class I antigens (HC 10 and Bw4) was found in the invasive cancer group of specimens. A decrease in Bw4 expression was also found in the CIN III group. The highest expression of the HLA-DR antigens was detected in the metaplastic epithelium compared to the other groups.

David Butler-Jones, the agency's head. In a June 2009 conference call with Gates officials, Butler-Jones acknowledged financial sustainability concerns, but he also noted benefits including technology, infrastructure, and human resource support for HIV vaccine development. Two weeks after that call, the Gates Foundation presented a study suggesting adequate vaccine production capacity existed in the private sector. Critics said it ignored qualitative factors and the difficulty of academic research programs accessing trial facilities. "Given this evidence ... it was agreed the government of Canada take the position of not moving forward with the facility project," a July 30 briefing note for Butler-Jones said. The goal was to develop a communications plan to that end by August. Nonetheless, none of the applicants knew of the decision until late January 2010, when theThe breast radiation injury litigation and the clinical oncologist. A number of women with breast cancer believed they were suffering injury because radiotherapy had been given negligently. In March 1995, their solicitors were permitted by the High Court, to select 10 cases in order to further a group action. In the legal exchanges which followed, the principal issues put forward by the plaintiffs went through a number of modifications until finally, in December 1997, they were abandoned. Two cases came to trial and after a hearing of 21 days, the Judge found no negligence. Clinical oncologists should be aware of the course of the litigation and consider the lessons to be learned.

Information from 2016 regarding female and minority representation among medical school graduates, otolaryngology applicants, otolaryngology residents, otolaryngology faculty and residents, and faculty in other surgical specialties was obtained from the publicly available registries from the American Medical Association and the American Association of Medical Colleges. The data obtained was used to explore the differences between the various stages of training in otolaryngology and to compare the female and minority diversity of otolaryngology residents with residents in other surgical specialties. Women and African Americans were underrepresented at the resident level compared with their level of representation as medical

Effects of a herbicide mixture on primary and bacterial productivity in four prairie wetlands with varying salinities: an enclosure approach. Wetlands in the Prairie pothole region of Saskatchewan and Manitoba serve an important role in providing wildlife habitat, water storage and water filtration. They display a wide range of water quality parameters such as salinity, nutrients and major ions with sulfate as the dominant ion for the most saline wetlands. The differences in these water quality parameters among wetlands are reflected in the composition of aquatic plant communities and their productivity. Interspersed within an intensely managed agricultural landscape where pesticides are commonly used, mixtures of herbicides are often detected in these wetlands as well as in rivers, and drinking water reservoirs. One freshwater and three wetlands of varying salinityMichael Kiefer The Arizona Republic PHOENIX — The Arizona Court of Appeals recognized transgender marriage Wednesday, ruling that "Pregnant Man" Thomas Beatie could get his Hawaiian marriage dissolved in an Arizona court. Beatie, 40, was born female, but in 1997, he began testing to determine his psychological gender and in 2002 underwent the first of his gender-reassignment surgeries. Under Hawaiian law, he was able to have his birth certificate amended and legally be recognized as male. Subsequently he married. Because his wife was unable to conceive children, and because Beatie still had female reproductive organs, he was artificially inseminated and became pregnant. Then he hit the talk-show and tabloid circuit as "The Pregnant Man," posing with his manly beard and chest and his very pregnant belly. He gave birth to his first child

A pre- and post-placement interview with staff, and analysis of a logbook of cases and teaching undertaken in the practice. The practice team's experience of having the trainee was positive, and thebetween world assumptions and posttraumatic stress symptoms, as suggested by Janoff-Bulman \[[@B14]\] and others \[[@B21],[@B38]\]; instead, the relations may be similar to, and a reflection of, a general connection between world assumptions and mental health. Present study: Context and aims ------------------------------- The tsunami in Southeast Asia on December 26, 2004 was the deadliest tsunami in recorded history, with a death toll of approximately 230,000 people \[[@B39]\]. An estimated 4,000 Norwegian citizens were in the affected areas during the tsunami, most of whom were tourists on Christmas vacation. The Norwegian death toll included 58 adults and 26 children. The surviving Norwegians were evacuated to their homes and communities soon after the disaster. This situation thereby provided a unique vantage point for assessing the effects of trauma after a disaster when the post-disaster

Depletion of calcitonin gene-related peptide in perivascular nerves during acute phase of posthemorrhagic vasospasm in the rabbit. The behaviour of various neuropeptides during early and late vasospasm following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage has been investigated by several authors. Recently, a reduction of the content of vasodilatory neuropeptides (vasodilatory intestinal peptide, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide) has been demonstrated in the perivascular nerves of cerebral arteries after few days from induction of experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the present immunohistochemical study, the authors investigated secretion and expression of CGRP a few minutes after injection of autologous blood into the cisterna magna of the rabbit. The authors propose that the marked decrease of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactivity in the perivascular nerves, observed after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage, is due to compensatory secretion ofHow can a kitchen have two chiefs? Only if the two chefs are in harmony. Julius Busscher and Rick Swinkels met in 2013 and since then they built a food truck, organised a successful food festival around it and now they even opened their pop-up restaurant in Amsterdam. And they still have more ideas! Jessica Schrier starting her fifth season with her mini van. She wasn't satisfied with her job so started her rolling kitchen way before the street food boom. She is not a vegetarian but still decided to serve vegeterian dishes, making soups and salads in the name of healthy living. How agriculture looks like in the future? Perhaps the secret lays in a technique which stands for hundreds of years. Mediamatic Amsterdam is experimenting with Aquaponis and

he was asking for didn’t even reflect the full cost of the jet. It would only cover part of the down payment. This spending was enough to raise a few questions. In 2007, Senator Charles Grassley ran an investigation into Hinn and five other non-profit religious leaders who’d registered for the right to keep their finances tax-free and lived in multi-million dollar homes. Hinn was one of the few who gave up his financial records – but before he did, he told the Senate hearing that he would need a year to get them ready. Since he was registered as a tax-exempt religious charity, the Senate couldn’t rush him. The books they finally received didn’t reveal enough to press charges against Hinn. Grassley was forced to drop his investigation. Benny Hinn’s NephewDiseases associated with asbestos in Spain. In Spain, imported asbestos of all types is processed into fibre-cement and textile and friction materials, involving about 9000 workers. The author describes his studies in a small textile firm in Bilbao manufacturing textile and cardboard asbestos products from chrysotile and, until 1970, crocidolite. No mesotheliomas were found, but asbestosis, bronchial cancer and pleural changes were seen. Other studies carried out in Spain are described also.
