How we monitor GP practices
We're evolving the way we monitor services due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Our transitional monitoring approach helps us target our regulatory activity most effectively. The transitional monitoring approach replaces the information on this page – see how we will monitor your service.
CQC Insight
We use CQC Insight to monitor potential changes to the quality of care that you provide.
CQC Insight brings together the information that we hold about your practice in one place. We analyse this information and compare it against local and national data and identify potential changes in the quality of care.
We update our analysis throughout the year so our inspectors have the most recently available information about services. This information helps us to plan when and what we inspect. We will include some of the information in your inspection report as evidence to support our judgements about the quality of care.
Sources of information
CQC Insight includes a range of information on activity at your practice and feedback from patients. We use information from:
- Quality and Outcomes Framework (NHS Digital)
- GP Patient Survey (NHS England)
- NHS Business Services Authority
- Public Health England.
We will develop CQC Insight further as we work with providers and stakeholders. We welcome your feedback to help improve it.
Practices rated as good or outstanding
If your practice is rated as good or outstanding, we will inspect at least every 5 years. Every year, we will carry out a formal review of the information we hold about your practice.
Annual regulatory review
The formal annual regulatory review will help us to prioritise our inspections where the information suggests that the quality of care at your practice has changed since our last inspection. This can be either a deterioration or improvement. It will enable us to carry out more focused inspections that concentrate on the areas with the most change. This also allows us to focus where there is the most risk while supporting practices to improve.
Our inspectors will identify any changes by reviewing:
- the data we hold in CQC Insight
- information from stakeholders, for example, Healthwatch, or a Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)
- information that you provide, including through a structured telephone call each year (as part of the provider information collection).
If this indicates that the quality of care may have improved or deteriorated since your last rating, we may:
- decide to inspect, or
- ask you to clarify any information.
It is important that our ratings reflect our best assessment of the quality of care at your practice. If we decide to inspect, we will:
- write to you formally to tell you that we will inspect in the next six months
- send you the normal two-weeks' notice of your inspection.
If we don't need to take any action, we will:
- tell you that we have carried out the review and that no further action is needed at this stage
- publish a note of this on your profile page on our website.
An annual regulatory review forms part of our ongoing monitoring but it cannot change your rating, only an inspection can do this.
The review will make sure that our monitoring and planning decisions are clear, consistent and transparent.
Provider information collection
We will ask you for information once a year rather than before an inspection (through what was previously known as the provider information return (PIR)). This is to ask about any changes at the practice since your last inspection or annual regulatory review.
We gather this information by talking with you on a telephone call. Your inspector will contact you four weeks beforehand to arrange a mutually convenient time for this call.
During the call, they will ask you a set of questions. Your answers form the provider information collection. We will consider all the information you tell us when we make decisions.
The call is not an inspection; it is a conversation with you about any changes at the practice. It also gives you the opportunity to add context to the information that we already have about your practice from stakeholders and national data collections.
The calls will help to strengthen the relationship between you and your inspector.
We encourage you to consider the questions as part of your multi-disciplinary team discussions to help reflect on what you have done over the last 12 months. This can help to prepare your responses to the questions so that you provide the information that we need to carry out an effective annual regulatory review.
We are committed to aligning any requests for data with our partners to minimise duplication. We will continue to update our methods as other national data collections become available. For example, if we can get specific information from a national collection, we will not ask for it in the provider information collection. If we make any changes to the collection, we will always work with providers and other organisations to ensure that they are beneficial.
Practices rated as requires improvement or inadequate
If your practice is rated as requires improvement or inadequate, the annual regulatory review process and provider information collection call does not apply.
We will continue to inspect:
- within six months for a rating of inadequate
- within 12 months for a rating of requires improvement.
Pre-inspection provider information request
We will still send you a provider information request before your inspection. This is to help us get information that is not available through national data collections, which will inform the inspection.
We won't send you an annual provider information request or carry out a formal annual review of the information we hold about your practice.

The Private Eyes' Requiem
The Private Eyes' Requiem is the 10th movie in the Detective Conan franchise. It was released in Japan on April 15, 2006.
Conan, Kogoro, Ran, and the Detective Boys are invited to visit a client in a hotel beside a theme park called Miracle land. Once they reach the hotel, a worker there brings them to a meeting room on the top floor and tells them to sit down in the chairs while he goes to get something. When he comes back he gives everyone an ID watch that allows free access to Miracle Land as well as free food and drinks.
Ran and the kids leave to enjoy the park while Kogoro works, but the hotel worker tells Conan to also stay. Kogoro's client appears on a television in the room and tells them they must solve a mystery. To make sure that they have to accept he explains that the ID watches, which Conan and Kogoro also have on, cannot come off and will explode if the culprit cannot be determined. He also tells them that they have GPS systems on them so if they are tampered with, or if Ran or the others leaves the park, or if Conan and Kogoro try to go to the police, then the watches will explode.
|Hostage Situation
Conan tries to contact Haibara via their badges to stop everyone from entering (which arms the watches), but he's too late. Instead he asks her to keep the others from going on the Super Snake roller coaster, which extends beyond the boundaries of the park, or from leaving the park.
The client tells Conan and Kogoro that two detectives have given up, one is still working, and the other one has failed. The TV then shows a detective that Kogoro knows, named Ryu, locked in a room with an ID on. He is told his deduction was wrong, and then dies from the watch exploding.
Conan and Kogoro are given a phone that can only receive calls and just one clue, which leads to an abandoned hotel. There they find a locker in the basement holding a government licensed gun and some ski masks. As they leave the building some cops think they are related to Kaitou Kid, since Kid was sighted nearby recently. They discover that the hotel was used as the base for a robbery of a truck delivering money to a bank on April 4th, and on the same date Kid stole some jewels from a nearby company.
They are brought to the police station where Kogoro is interrogated and they assume he is Kid's accomplice. The client calls the phone, which Conan has, so he runs to the washroom to answer it. The client identifies Conan as Shinichi, so Conan uses his voice-changing bow tie to explain that they didn't go to the police voluntarily and what they found. He receives the second hint, "Go to Yoru no Cafe Terrace". Conan leaves the police station to try and figure out where to go.
As Conan tries to figure out the hint he meets Heiji Hattori, who also has the ID and Kazuha as his leverage. Kogoro eventually finds Conan and Heiji. Inspector Megure wants to know what's going on, but Kogoro can't tell him because the client is watching them. The client notices Kogoro with the police so he sets off a bomb as a warning. Kogoro pushes Megure and leaves, taking Heiji and Conan with him. Inspector Megure lets them go because Kogoro secretly gave him a note explaining Ran's danger and asking that he make sure Ran and the others don't leave the park.

|Hostage Situation
|Bombing and attempted murder
Kogoro splits up from Heiji and Conan again to investigate on his own. Heiji tells Conan that he got a different hint than Conan and the combine the two to figure out they have to go to a university's club office. There they meet Saguru Hakuba, a famous teenage detective from England who chases Kid; Saguru also has an ID watch and joins their investigation.
In the club room they find out from some members that the 3rd president (Suehiko Itoh) of the club was charged with the murder of one of the classmates (Nishio). When they go to eat, Heiji contacts Inspector Otaki in Osaka to help him find research on Itoh. While eating, Saguru tells them that Itoh was placed on the police wanted list, as one of the culprits who attacked a cash delivery truck on April 4th. Meanwhile, Kogoro asks Eri if she can give him details on the April 4th cash delivery truck attack case.
After eating, Conan, Heiji, and Saguru go to Nishio's office, the scene of his murder. There they learn that employee and former university club member Reiko Shimizu committed suicide because she was being pushed too hard about Nishio's murder. Heiji then confirms with the client through the phone that the mystery he wants them to solve was this murder case.
|Suicide? (Past)
|Murder (Past)
Immediately after, they are attacked by two motorcyclists working for the culprit who is also trying to kill Kaitou Kid. They try to run away and split up. Using his skateboard, Conan gets away but one of them chases him up to a retractable bridge, where he falls from it into the river, hitting his leg on the side of the railing on the way and breaking it.
|Atttempted Murder
Meanwhile, in Miracle Land a thief tries to escape the police by taking Ayumi hostage and starts to walk to the exit. Right when he's about to leave he is stopped by Sonoko, who is also texting and doesn't realize the situation. She pushes him out of the way, as it's the entrance, and Ayumi escapes before the ID can be set off.
|Hostage Situation and Accidental Attempted Murder
|Hostage Situation
Conan reawakens in the back of Agasa's car with Heiji. Heiji tells Conan that Saguru called Agasa to pick Conan up, but when Agasa arrived, Saguru was gone. While driving to the hotel Heiji tells Conan that Ootaki gave him some interesting information about the case...
Apparently there was mascara on the scope of the sniper rifle used to kill Nishio, of a unique brand Reiko favored, but she never said anything while being interrogated. Then, on May 15th, she was seen walking off the side of a cliff into the water below. Her body was never found and then 8 days later Itoh had escaped from the hospital. Heiji also explains that on April 4th, when Kid stole some jewels from a museum, his escape route collided with the cash delivery truck robbers' escape route. The robbers started shooting at Kid because he saw their faces, and since then, whenever Kid tries to steal something, his life is targeted. Professor Agasa tells them that Kogoro was already at the hotel to reveal what he found out, and they hurry to make sure he doesn't give a wrong answer.
Meanwhile, Kaitou Kid goes to the art museum and tells the owner that he doesn't like having his life at stake. He also finally figured out why he was trying to kill him still even after he returned the jewel: it was because he saw him at the crime scene, as well as the face of his subordinate (who is hiding behind a curtain). Kaitou Kid summons the police, for them to arrest the museum owner for his part in the robbery, releasing sleeping gas to make sure the owner can't escape, but when Kid checks behind the curtain he finds that the other culprit is gone.

Today is the day that I officially said my goodbye as a fan of the NFL and the Oakland Raiders. This has actually been something that has slowly been happening over the past few years but today was the absolute final straw.
Alone for the Holidays and Other Thoughts
I didn't have a bad day
I realize that my most recent post was a bit of a downer. Mind you, I didn't think of it in those terms but I can certainly understand why a reader might have felt that way. The reason I don't consider it to be a downer is that I was merely expressing the reality or the facts of my situation. It is one of those 'it is what it is' type of things.
September Struggles
September has arrived. If you read my previous entry, you might recall that I mentioned this month as being the least favorite month of the year for me.
This came up in a recent conversation I had with a friend who has his own struggles with anxiety and depression. I pointed out that it would probably surprise a great many of my closest friends to know that September is my least favorite month because there are things that on paper should make September a month I look forward to each year. But despite those reasons I am about to list, it has never been true.
Playing Catchup
Well, my very much neglected blog, I figured the time was right for me to write. There has been a lot going on this summer and it seems as though a post catching everyone up is in order. I'm not taking these events in chronological order or even order of importance, just laying it all out.
It has been awhile
It has been far too long since I have written anything. I know this because Facebook helpfully pointed it out. In truth, I actually didn't need any help from any website because I was already well aware of the fact.
I used to write posts after each new episode of Talking Audiobooks was released but I stopped doing even that much. There are two reasons for this, I will let you decide which is the largest factor. The first is that I didn't write one for one of the episodes and then that trend continued and before long I was out of the habit and way behind. The second reason is that I felt like they were becoming a bit repetitive and I didn't have much to say. They were all fun, they all went smoothly (for the most part) and I was happy with each interview. You only need to read that a couple of times before it becomes old news.
Podcast Plus: Mark Kamish Chat
This week's episode of Talking Audiobooks features a chat I had with audiobook narrator Mark Kamish.
This episode is a good illustration of how I sometimes end up picking my guests. I've said before that I tend to give priority to those individuals who reach out to me and ask if they can be on the podcast. Them reaching out to me lets me know that they would be excited and enthusiastic guests and that's most important.
But I do ask people to come on the show and Mark was someone that I asked. How did it come about that I asked Mark? Keep reading to find out.
Podcast Plus: The Audio Flow Interview
This week's Episode of Talking Audiobooks features my interview of Jocq Protho of The Audio Flow Casting Services.
Podcast Plus: Ray Greenley Interview
It is time for this week's edition of Podcast Plus where I look at Episode 3.03 featuring audiobook narrator and all-around good guy Ray Greenley. As we discuss on the episode, this one was a long time in the making.
Podcast Plus: A Pair of Chats with Rich Miller
This week's Podcast Plus is a bit late but it covers episode 3.02 which is my chat with audiobook narrator Rich Miller. This comes on the heels of My appearance on his podcast, The Audiobook Speakeasy, last Sunday/Monday. It is the crossover event of 2018 at least so far. I mean, how many other crossover events have their been this year?
Enter to win the 'Fire and Fury' Audiobook
Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury has dominated a lot of the political discussion this month. The book was released on January 5 in part because the White House's attemptat getting the release stopped entirely resulted in the date being moved up from January 9. The book has been a top the best seller charts ever since then and ran through it's initial print runs easily.
The nice thing about the audiobook is that you don't have to worry about it being temporarily out of stock when you try to order it. But why order the audiobook when you have a chance to win one of 5 copies?
Join me for a Chat in the Audiobook Speakeasy
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Rich Miller for a chat on his podcast, The Audiobook Speakeasy. My episode is available now for your enjoyment. This was a lot of fun to do and I promise next time I will have a more appropriate drink for the atmosphere.
Rich is going to be my guest on this coming Friday's episode of Talking Audiobooks and I will have a behind the scenes look at both episodes in this week's edition of Podcast Plus.
Podcast Plus: Harmon Cooper and Jeff Hays interview
Season 3 of Talking Audiobooks is back and a lot has changed. For one thing we have a newly redesigned website which you can check out at the link provided. We also have a new app which you can use to listen to the podcast and register to join our community and to have your name automatically entered into every giveaway we make available.
Our first episode features a chat with LitRPG author Harmon Cooper and audiobook narrator Jeff Hays for an in depth chat about all things Proxima Galaxy and audiobook narration.
Talking Audiobooks Season 3 Premier Promo
There it is, our season 3 premier promo. This episode is going to be a lot of fun as Harmon and Jeff were both fantastic guests. If you love Audiobooks you'll enjoy this one because it is going to be much longer than some audiobooks.
Looking Back at 2017 and forward to 2018
I spent New Year's Eve alone, working on my audiobook spreadsheet. In some ways, it is the most Casey thing I could have possibly done to ring in 2018. In another way it was a huge disappointment. I actually felt pretty festive this year which is the first time in a long time that I could say that.
I've been writing year in review posts for a few years now and none of them have been terribly positive. I thought 2014 was a bad year only to be hit with much worse years in 2015 (death of Ginny, cancer diagnosis for my dad and friend Melissa) and 2016 (death of my father and general dissatisfaction). This past year wasn't always great. I lost my friend Melissa in November and before that, my great aunt Dorothy passed away in April. Add the fact that I was actually sick for six weeks from President's Day through the end of March and 2017 could go down as yet another in a string of bad years for me.

How to host the perfect match day party
As you gear up for the big match, there's plenty to think about - is your living room set up for the best view? Are you getting the most from your TV's sound? Can you knock up some tasty snacks and drinks?
You'll be on to a winner with these tips to keep your guests happy, even if the same can't be said for the team you're supporting…
Getting set up
You've invited everyone over to watch the match but crowding a lot of people round the telly can be tricky. You want your guests to get a good view of the action without having to crane their necks.
Prevent arguments over dad nabbing the sweet spot by arranging your living room so that everyone can see.
Here's how to set up your living room for watching football using the best seat in the house formula.
Sitting on the floor for 90 minutes or more isn't going to be comfortable, so bring some chairs in from the kitchen or put down some cushions if you're stuck for extra seats.
Tune the TV and dim the lights
In anticipation of this summer's tournament, you might have invested in a brand new set. If so, you'll want to make sure your TV is tuned correctly to get the best picture quality.
What are the best TV settings for watching football?
Get the best sound quality
If you're not at the game in person you can do the next best thing – recreate the stadium atmosphere at home with an audio-enhancing sound system.
Feel the roar of the crowd from every direction with a multi-room home audio system, with speakers placed strategically around your living room. Or go for a high quality soundbar to boost your TV's audio by creating a surround sound effect.
Find out how to choose the right home cinema setup for you
Keep guests happy with snacks and drinks
What with the highs and lows of watching cracking goals, red-card tackles and dismal penalties, all that shouting over the telly can leave you parched. Be sure to stock up on beers. Keep them to hand in an American-style fridge-freezer – with plenty of shelf space for your weekly shop, too.
If you're feeling more creative, a footie fest is a great opportunity to have some fun with your snacks and drinks. Why not rustle up some tasty but healthy chips in an ActiFry?
Or knock up some burgers and hotdogs with the Tefal Optigrill, and take your party outside during half-time.
Add some extra entertainment
No one wants to hear bored voices talking over the action, so it might be an idea to have an area in another room for less enthusiastic guests. Weather permitting, you could even set up a mini goalpost outside so the kids can have a kickabout – perhaps some of the grown-up kids will join in too.
After the final whistle has blown, you could even create your own footie tournament with FIFA on PlayStation or Xbox – and challenge your mates to see if they really are more skilful than Ronaldo.

Suffering From A Phoenix Sewer Damage Dry Out Problem?
Even though floodings are possibly best known for generating extensive water damage to businesses and homes, they can furthermore cause sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into homes through drain pipes.
These backups not only give rise to damage which is expensive and difficult to remedy, but also create health hazards.
Many home-owner and business insurance coverage policies do not handle sewer back-up unless specific sewer backup coverage is put on the insurance plan.
Sewer backup coverage is available to buy from the majority of insurance organisations for a reasonable cost, generally $40-$50 for a yearly insurance plan.
Many homeowners and businessmen might not realize that they accountable for the upkeep and repair of their property or sewer lateral the pipeline in between the region sanitary sewer main, most likely located under road, and the building.
The sewer lateral is possesed and sustained by the home owner including any portion that could spread out into the street or common right of way. A split or worn away lateral or one filled with tree roots could permit groundwater to flow into the structure, contributing to the likely sewer backup conditions.

Popular Triggers Of Sewer Back-up:
Clogs Caused By Tree Roots: Trees and bushes pursuing dampness can secure their way in to sewer line fractures creating substantial damage. They may begin tiny, invading a little crack through the pipe; however as the tree or shrubbery continues to grow, so does the root. Tree roots may go in the service pipeline at junctions and generate stoppages. They have the ability to likewise travel a lengthy distance, and roots from various types of trees behave differently.
Should you believe that municipality trees accountable for sewer line damages, your plumbing contractor can get ahold of the municipality and specimens of the roots should be used to help determine the trees and who exactly is obligated for clean-up. On occasion a blockage is the outcome of a combo of city and personal trees. For this case damages are split amongst the metro and house owner.
Sanitary Main: A blockage can crop up in a town sanitary main.
Discharge coming from the main can back up into houses and offices by means of flooring drains if the obstruction is not picked up on in time. Commonly that occurs little by little, allowing the owner time to call up a registered plumber to pinpoint the damages. On the occasion that water is entering your basement at a accelerated speed, get in touch with the town public works center and make known the dilemma immediately to make sure that a city operator can investigate.
Water in Bsmt: Most basement flooding is not associateded with the sanitary sewer equipment. Thus, water can show up in a bsmt that has never before experienced a water problem. Water drainage may be greatly improved by being sure that water drains away from the property.
Home owners and business insurance policies do not insure flood damages: Only flood insurance protection are going to handle your damages in case of a flood. Federal flood insurance plans are secured direct via an insurance coverage representative or a company agent, and are usually offered to localities that are involved in the National Flood Insurance Program.
About 100 insurance coverage companies service and create NFIP insurance coverages. If you want to look for an agent or company supporting your location, visit www.floodsmart.gov or call 888-379-9531. Your insurance agent or broker can resolve the claim for you.

How to Prevent Backups in Your Lateral and in the City Main
Take care of Grease Appropriately: Cooking oil needs to be poured into a heat-resistant container and disposed of appropriately, as soon as it cools off, never in the drainpipe. Washing grease down the drain with warm water can most likely trigger notable complications. As the grease cools down, it is going to harden either in the sink, the owner's line, or in the main sewer causing the line to narrow and in time block.
Dispose of Paper Goods Appropriately: Paper towels, throw away (and cloth) diapers, and feminine products may lead to quite a few problems in the property owner's lateral as well as in the town main for the reason that they do not break down right away, as toilet tissue does.
Switch Your Line With New Plastic pipe: One particular way to avoid tree roots from going into your line is to replace your line and tap with new plastic pipe. If you still have headaches with tree roots developing in your lateral, you may have to have root systems cut every so often.
Not legal Plumbing system Connections: Do not link up French drains, sump pumps and other flood control devices to your sanitary sewer. It is illegal, and particles and silt will most likely close your pipes. Seek the advice of a plumbing professional to set right all not legal connections.
Purchase a Backwater Protection Shutoff: A backwater shutoff is a attachment mounted in to a sewer line, and in certain cases into a drain line, in the basement of your home or business to stop sewage system backflows.
The charge to install one is dependent on the sort of plumbing in your home or business and the challenge of setup.
If You Encounter A Sewer Backup, What To Do:
A sewer backup can produce illness, destruction of your valuables, damage to your residence or company, and could even lead to electrical defects. Fast cleanup of the affected property may help cut down the inconvenience and help prevent mold and further damages. In the event of sewer back-up, instantly arrange for the clean-up of your property. Doing this can include:
- Mopping floors and wiping walls with detergent and water and disinfectant.
- Steam washing or disposing of wet carpets and rugs or curtains.
- Purging out and decontaminating plumbing related equipments.
- Removing or repairing wrecked sheetrock or wall structure covering.
- Wet-vacuuming or eliminating spillage.
- Clean-up of ductwork.

Gabapentin Side effects
The most common side effects of gabapentin in adult patients include dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, weight gain, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities).[40] Gabapentin may also produce sexual dysfunctionin some patients, symptoms of which may include loss of libido, inability to reach orgasm, and erectile dysfunction. Gabapentin should be used carefully in patients with renal impairment due to possible accumulation and toxicity. What side effects can Gabapentin cause?
Neurontin can be used to treat Fibromyalgia, Migraine, sleep and restless legs syndrome
Studies have also found the drug to have a substantial analgesic effects on diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, migraine, and other neuropathic pain conditions, as well as beneficial effect on sleep and restless legs syndrome. On the basis of these findings, the researchers suspected that gabapentin might also ease fibromyalgia pain.
For treating the chronic pain and other symptoms of fibromyalgia, the anticonvulsant gabapentin (Neurontin) proved safe and effective, researchers here reported.
In a 12-week randomized, double-blind clinical trial, patients taking gabapentin displayed significantly less pain, better sleep, and less fatigue than placebo controls, Lesley M. Arnold, M.D., of the University of Cincinnati, and colleagues reported in the April issue ofArthritis and Rheumatism.
However, the drug had no effect on acute pain points or depression, the researchers reported.
Although gabapentin, which was used off-label for fibromyalgia, has little, if any, effect on acute pain, it has shown a robust effect on pain caused by a heightened response to stimuli related to inflammation or nerve injury in animal models of chronic pain syndromes, Dr. Arnold said.
Studies have also found the drug to have a substantial analgesic effects on diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, migraine, and other neuropathic pain conditions, as well as beneficial effect on sleep and restless legs syndrome. On the basis of these findings, the researchers suspected that gabapentin might also ease fibromyalgia pain.
The study, supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, included 150 mainly white fibromyalgia patients (90% women). Of these, 75 took gabapentin at dosages of 1,200 to 2,400 mg daily for 12 weeks, while there were 75 placebo controls.
The study was conducted at three outpatient research centers in the U.S., from September 2003 to January 2006.
The mean pain severity scores, measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), decreased in both groups but more so among the gabapentin patients (P = 0.015). The estimated difference between groups at week 12 was – 0.92 (95% confidence interval -1.75, -0.71).
Of the gabapentin-treated patients, 51% achieved a response at the endpoint compared with 31% of the placebo patients (P=0.014).
Gabapentin compared with placebo also significantly improved the BPI average pain interference score, as well as a series of other scores. These included the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire total score, the Clinical Global Impression of Severity Improvement, the Patient Global Impression of Improvement, the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS), the Sleep Problems Index, and the MOS Short Form 36 vitality score.
However, the drug had no effect on acute pressure-point pain or depression (the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale), the researchers reported.
Overall, the drug was well-tolerated. Of the 150 patients, 19 dropped out due to adverse events, with no significant difference between the treatment groups.
The gabapentin patients reported dizziness, sedation, lightheadedness, and weight gain significantly more often that did the placebo-treated patients. Notably, the researchers said, there was no significant difference in weight change in the two groups as measured in the clinic, although edema may have explained some of the patients' perceptions. Most treatment adverse events, they reported, were mild to moderate in severity.
The pathophysiology of fibromyagia is unknown, but evidence suggests that it is associated with aberrant central nervous system pain processing, the researchers said.
The drug appears to be effective in reducing abnormal hypersensitivity induced by inflammatory responses or nerve injury. Yet unlike many other pain syndromes, there is no physical evidence of inflammation or CNS damage.
One possible explanation, Dr. Arnold said, is that gabapentin's effects involve binding to a specific subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels on neurons. This binding, she said, reduces calcium flow into the nerve cell, which reduces the release of some signaling molecules involved in pain processing.
In discussing the study's limitations, the researchers said that because the study was short, the results may not generalize to longer treatment periods, and long-term efficacy should be studied in future clinical trials.
Also, because the study was relatively small, they said it may have lacked the power to detect potentially relevant differences between the groups. Finally, they wrote that the results may not apply to patients with some comorbid psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder, or to patients with other painful musculoskeletal disorders.
"In this, the first randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate gabapentin in the treatment of fibromyalgia, the results demonstrated that gabapentin, taken for up to 12 weeks, is effective and safe in the treatment of pain and other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia," Dr. Arnold concluded.
Gabapentin may be useful in the treatment of comorbid anxiety in bipolar patients, (however not the bipolar state itself). Gabapentin may be effective in acquired pendular nystagmus and infantile nystagmus, (but not periodic alternating nystagmus). It is effective in hot flashes. It may be effective in reducing pain and spasticity in multiple sclerosis. Gabapentin may reduce symptoms of alcohol withdrawal (but it does not prevent the associated seizures). Use for smoking cessation has had mixed results. Gabapentin is effective in alleviating itching in renal failure (uremic pruritus) and itching of other etiologies. It is well-established in the treatment of restless leg syndrome. (A prodrug form, gabapentin enacarbil, is also effective.) Gabapentin is effective in insomnia.
Gabapentin is used with other medications to prevent and control seizures. It is also used to relieve nerve pain following shingles (a painful rash due to herpes zosterinfection) in adults. Gabapentin is known as an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by yourhealth care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
Gabapentin may also be used to treat other nerve pain conditions (such as diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia) and restless legs syndrome.
How to use gabapentin
Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking gabapentin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. For children, the dosage is also based on weight.
If you are taking the tablets and your doctor directs you to split the tablet in half, take the other half-tablet at your next scheduled dose. Discard half tablets if not used within several days of splitting them. If you are taking the capsules, swallow them whole with plenty of water.
It is very important to follow your doctor's dosing instructions exactly. During the first few days of treatment, your doctor may gradually increase your dose so your body can adjust to the medication. To minimize side effects, take the very first dose at bed time.
Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. This drug works best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take gabapentin at evenly spaced intervals at the same time(s) each day. If you are taking this medication 3 times a day to control seizures, do not let more than 12 hours pass between doses because your seizures may increase.
Do not take this medication more often or increase your dose without consulting your doctor. Your condition will not improve any faster and the risk of serious side effects may increase.
Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.
Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may interfere with the absorption of this medication. Therefore, if you are also taking an antacid, it is best to take gabapentin at least 2 hours after taking the antacid.
Different forms of gabapentin (such as immediate-release, sustained-release, enacarbil sustained-release) are absorbed in the body differently. Do not switch from one form to the other without consulting your doctor.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Gabapentin can not be used for a long time. You must exercise or take balanced nutrition to relieve your pain. Please try nu skin products by joining nu skin distributor network.

November 15, 2012 (KHARTOUM) — Rebel groups derided a decision by the Sudanese government to make 31 May a public holiday to celebrate peace in Darfur and urged the international community to not donate money for a fund aiming to reconstruct the restive region.
On 13 November, President Omer Al-Bashir issued a presidential decree declaring 31 May a public holiday in Sudan to celebrate the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD), which was endorsed by Darfur stakeholders in the Qatari capital on 31 May 2011.
The framework text was signed on 14 July 2011 by the Sudanese government and Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM), also a splinter group of Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) - the JEM- Military Council (JEM-MC) - is expected to engage in talks with the government this month.
A DDPD implementation follow-up committee chaired by the Qatari state minister Ahmed bin Abdullah Al-Mahmoud decided last week to delay the donor conference for Darfur reconstruction to January of next year. The meeting was initially scheduled for December 2012.
Suleiman Sandal, JEM political secretary and Nimir Abdel Rahaman, spokesperson of Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdel Wahid Al-Nur (SLM-AW) said the DDPD did not bring peace to Darfur because it is not implemented and violence against civilians is increasing.
This holiday "is a desperate attempt to mislead Sudanese and the international community that there is peace in Darfur," Sandal said, stressing that Khartoum did not give Darfur Regional Authority (DRA) the necessary funds to implement the deal but also that the latter has no real authority on the ground.
Nimir pointed out that it has been proven since the 2006 Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA), signed in Abuja, Nigeria but only by Minni Minawi's faction of SLA, that partial agreements would not end the conflict but increase the suffering of civilians in Darfur. "The failure of [the] Doha agreement is more obvious than that of Abuja deal," he said.
The SLM-AW spokesperson said the money that the donors are expected to give will not reach the Darfurians but will go, in part, to the pockets of the Sudanese and DRA officials. JEM's political secretary added that it would also be used to buy weapons for more wars in Sudan.
JEM participated in the two-year process sponsored by Qatar and brokered by an African Union and United Nations mediator. The group refused to endorse the DDPD demanding more discussions. The SLM-AW did not join the process as it considers that the regime has to repair the consequences of the war first before to engage talks on the root causes of the conflict.
Nimir told Sudan Tribune that Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir decided on this holiday to please the Emir of Qatar as he expects him to support financially his government. He further urged the Gulf State to not donate money to Khartoum because it would use it "to commit more atrocities in Darfur".
Sandal who was speaking in a separate interview with Sudan Tribune, also urged Qatar to review its position from the Sudanese government and "to work for a true peace in Darfur instead of supporting the regime".
SLM-AW's Nimir further denied reports about a breakaway group from his movement intending to join the peace process. While Sandal urged all those who joined the regime to return to the "revolution's forces" and to participate in the struggle for democracy and peace instead of remaining allied to the "collapsing regime".
The JEM political secretary also welcomed the issuance of a guide by Geneva Call, a NGO based in Switzerland, on the relation between armed non-state actors and the protection of civilians in the war areas, saying it represents a boost for the implementation of the international humanitarian law.

Okay, speaking directly to those of y'all who love Mary Roach and that book about being a woman in Victorian times — just go read this book. It is by far the funniest book about plagues that I have ever read. And I am saying that as a person who has read multiple books about plagues. Jennifer Wright, who also wrote that book about bad breakups throughout time that most of y'all didn't seem to like very much, wrote Get Well Soon about 14 different plagues throughout history. She starts from the Antonine Plague (which took down the Romans) and hits on various others including leprosy, polio, the Spanish flu and of course — the Black Plague. It is full of absolutely fascinating and totally disgusting information. She's funny, she's weird, and she makes fun of John Snow — the guy who solved the cholera epidemic in London and not the guy from Game of Thrones. Much nerd respect for Jennifer Wright. She also writes some really kind and respectful things about St. Damien of Molokai, who sacrificed his life to care for lepers in Hawaii. It's smart and funny and fascinating — just read it!
Oh, I am absolutely the crosspoint of Mary Roach, crazy Victorian ladies, and It Ended Badly enthusiasts. This goes immediately on the list.

The 9th international Water & Health seminar for PhD students will take place in Cannes, France from 26 to 28 June 2017. Organised by SUEZ and the universities of Lorraine (France) and Bonn (Germany), this event is an opportunity for 20 PhD students from all over the world to present their work to academics and representatives of industry. It is also a forum for exchanges and discussions about subjects related to water and health. A joint interview with two members of the seminar's scientific committee: Philippe Hartemann, chairman of the jury and Professor of Public Health at the University of Lorraine, and Jean-François Loret, who manages the Health and Environment department at SUEZ.
What does this seminar consist of?
Jean-François Loret: The seminar was created 9 years ago by French and German academics as the formal expression of an initiative that had been launched a few years previously. SUEZ has conducted the scientific committee that selects the candidates. In concrete terms, PhD students working on new issues related to the sanitary quality of water (microbiology, chemistry, new water treatment technologies) present us with an overview of their work, and around 20 of them are selected by the scientific committee to take part in the seminar. At the seminar, the research work is presented to the scientific committee, which then rewards the work of one of the students in particular. We also invite all the students to publish their work in a special edition of the scientific review, "International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health".
What are the main issues facing research into water and health?
Philippe Hartemann: The issues of the sanitary quality of water have been reflected by the subjects chosen by the students since the inception of this seminar. There are socio-demographic questions, such as access to drinking water, in particular with the Water Safety Plans , scientific issues related to microbiology (resistance to antibiotics, studies of viruses) and to chemistry and toxicology (medicinal residues, endocrine disruptors, other micropollutants, etc.) and technical issues related to water treatment. For example, today we are working on advanced techniques, such as the use of membranes in drinking water and the tertiary treatment of residual water.
Have these issues changed since the seminar was first held?
P.H.: There has been a significant change, for two reasons. First, we have made significant technical progress in the past 10 years, so now we are studying new themes. For example, in the field of pollutants, we are now studying very low concentrations, to the order of a nanogram per litre. This was not possible in the past. So we have progressed from "macro" analysis to "nano" analysis, thanks to the performance of new tools. Second, we have witnessed a complete change in the profile of the thesis students, with the emergence of young researchers from developing countries. They work on subjects such as access to drinking water and include local climatic and technical considerations into their work.
What form does SUEZ's involvement in this project take?
J.F.L.: Water is a fragile resource, and at SUEZ we must permanently stay one step ahead of the emergence of new chemical or biological pollutants. This seminar is an important part of our scientific watch. But it is also a means of building long-lasting relationships with internationally renowned scientists in the field of water. These experts advise and guide us on international health problems related to water. Moreover, they are also in contact with the regulatory instances (health agencies, ministries, the WHO, and we can thus inform them of our operational constraints in the field.
How does the theme "Water & Health" fit in with the new issues facing this resource?
J.F.L.: We are thinking more and more about short circuits that use new technologies, such as the reuse of wastewater or desalination. These new uses of water raise new questions, such as the acceptability of risks. Or, what are the right health safety indicators and how can they be measured quickly? The seminar addresses all these questions.
What are your selection criteria for the subjects of the theses addressed during the seminar?
P.H.: Of the fifty-odd subjects we receive, we select a majority of students in the third year of their thesis, who are working on a subject of a high scientific level. We also try to be as representative as possible with regard to their geographical origin, in terms of both the students themselves and the subjects they are studying.
J.F.L.: The subjects are selected according to their excellence, their originality and their capacity to address current or future issues. The potential technical application of the subjects in the short term, within 2 or 3 years, is another important criterion.
The seminar is an opportunity for students to meet researchers from universities and industry. How do these two approaches complement one another?
J.F.L.: Today, research feeds on input from the field and vice versa, since industry also approaches university laboratories to find the answers to its questions. At the end of the seminar, the steering committee of SUEZ's Health and Environment research programme interprets this information and, where appropriate, incorporates it in water treatment operations or in its themes of research.
P.H.: The two approaches you mention are converging, because there is no public funding for university research in this field. Today, this type of research in universities must be applied to varying degrees, and is often conducted in partnership with professional circles.
Lastly, what makes the winner stand out?
P.H.: The award-winner is selected by the scientific committee and the students themselves. There is almost always a consensus on the winner! The quality of the presentation, the relevance of the answers to questions and the originality of the subject are the points that characterise the future winner.
J.F.L.: Finally, I would say that communication is important in scientific projects and that we are all appreciative of the student's powers of persuasion.

June 20 (Bloomberg) -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.'s experimental multiple sclerosis pill helped reduce brain lesions in a new study, moving the Israeli drugmaker closer to introducing the first oral treatment for the disabling disease.
Patients with the relapsing-remitting form of the illness on a daily dose of the medicine, laquinimod, had 40 percent fewer brain lesions than those on a placebo, according to the study in The Lancet medical journal. Lesions are caused when the immune system attacks the fatty tissue around nerve fibers, breaking the connection between brain and muscle.

VGP - Vietfish 2017, Viet Nam's largest annual fisheries exhibition is taking place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in Ho Chi Minh City.
Under the theme "Asia's Home of Seafood," the exhibition this year has 350 booths set up by domestic and foreign companies.
This industry event has attracted some 200 seafood exporters and processors from Viet Nam and 15 other countries and territories, such as Malaysia, Thailand, China and Japan, as well as Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Germany, along with Poland and the U.S.
In addition, the fair will provide participants with business opportunities, chances to boost trade, get new partners and sign contracts, besides promoting Vietnamese aqua-products in international markets.
Within the framework of the fair, many activities will take place, such as cooking demonstration, tasting Vietnamese seafood products, launching new products and organising specialised workshops on seafood.
The Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers – the organizer of the event – said they hope that this year's annual event will contribute to the growth of fish and fishery exports for businesses in these industries.
The event is where food professionals can source the latest trends and technologies in industries related to wild caught as well as farmed fish and seafood (whether freshwater or saltwater).
