Chapter 61 - Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance General rules on entitlement
Introduction 61001 AA is a benefit designed to help severely disabled people who need attention from another person supervision from another person another person to watch over them.61002 There is only one AA component made with two rates which are the higher rate and the lower rate.Severely disabled people may be entitled to either of these rates.
The rate depends on the level of attention, supervision or watching over a person needs1 SS CB Act 92, s 64 61003 - 61007
DLA 61008 DLA is a benefit that depends on a persons need for care and help with mobility arising from a disability.It is the functional deficiency, physical or mental and whether
care needs
mobility needs both care and mobility needs which result from the functional disability satisfy any of the entitlement conditions1 R(DLA) 3/06; 2 SS CB Act 92, s 72(1)(a) to (c) & 73(1)(d) Example Amy, aged nine, has behavioural problems and learning difficulties.Medical evidence indicates mental health problems but there is no diagnosis as to the disabilities which Amy suffers.The DM accepted that, despite no diagnosis, Amy Vol 10 Amendment 33 February 2012
was unable to control her behaviour and was at risk of substantial danger requiring continual supervision throughout the day.The DM accepted that the supervision Amy required was substantially in excess of a nine year old who does not have Amys disability.61009 DLA is made up of two components.
These are
the care component and the mobility component.
A disabled person may be entitled to one or both components.See guidance in DMG 61603 for claims with evidence of one component only.
61010 There is a range of disability conditions relating to care and mobility needs.Satisfying any one of the conditions gives entitlement.
61011 There are three rates of the DLA care component and two rates of the DLA mobility component.
The rate of benefit payable depends on which of the disability conditions are satisfied.Primary qualifying conditions
61012 The three primary qualifying conditions which apply to AA and DLA are
and residence, presence and competency and disability.Although there is no formal order of consideration of these conditions, if either of the first two are not satisfied, then the third need not be considered.
Age 61013 To be entitled to AA a person must be
aged 65 or over and not entitled to DLA Note: From 6.12.18 the age condition will be that a person has reached pensionable age.
See DMG Chapter 75 for guidance on the meaning of pensionable age.1 SS CB Act 92, s 64(1); SS (DLA) Regs, Sch 1, para 7; 2 Pensions Act 07, s 13(3); 3 SS CB Act 92, s 64(1) 61014 To be entitled to DLA a person must be
under 65 years of age and Vol 10 Amendment 33 February 2012
in the case of the lower rate of the mobility component, aged five or over (see DMG 61251 et seq) the higher rate of the mobility component, aged three or over (five years or over before 09.04.01).Note: From 6.12.18 the age condition will be that a person must be under pensionable age.See DMG Chapter 75 for guidance on pensionable age
.1 Pensions Act 07, s 13(3); 2 SS CB Act 92, s 75(1) The residence and presence and competency conditions
61015 To become entitled to AA or DLA a person must satisfy the residence and presence conditions, and competency condition, under UK law (see DMG Chapter 07).Day for payment of AA and DLA 61016 AA is a weekly benefit payable on Mondays unless it is linked with another benefit and the DM arranges for it to be paid on that benefits paydayThere are also circumstances when AA can be paid daily (see DMG 61881 et seq).
1 SS (C&P) Regs, reg 22(3) & Sch 6
DLA is a weekly benefit, payable on Wednesdays, unless it is combined with another benefit and the DM arranges for it to be paid on that benefits payday1 SS (C&P) Regs, reg 22(3) & Sch 6
61018 The amount payable is the total of the care component and mobility component awarded.It is normally paid four weekly (see DMG 61017 for exceptions).But in certain cases it can be paid on a daily basis (see DMG 61881 et seq).
61019 Following the transition from AA to DLA, former AA recipients retain the right to weekly payments and Monday paydays.If DLA is combined with another benefit, it is paid at the same interval as the other benefit.Vol 10 Amendment 33 February 2012
Provision of NINO 61020 For AA and DLA there is a specific requirement for a claimant to provide sufficient information or evidence to establish their NINO.See DMG Chapter 02 for full guidance.1 SS A Act 92, s 1(1A) & (1B) Vol 10 Amendment 33 February 2012
Medical advice
Customer Case Management Adult and Childrens Medical Guidance 61021 General information on the likely care and mobility needs arising from the more commonly occurring medical conditions can be found in the Customer Case Management Adult and Childrens Medical Guidance.61022 The Medical Guidance is available to all DMs.They are produced by Medical Policy in consultation with
the DLA Advisory Board and many organizations representing disabled people and health professionals.61023 The Medical Guidance provides information which can help the DM to understand the evidence provided on claims.It is also useful in helping the DM to decide when and from whom to seek further medical advice.References to the Medical Guidance will be made in this Chapter.
Referrals to Medical Services 61024 If the DM has difficulty in interpreting the medical evidence the case may be referred to Medical Services for advice.In the event of an appeal, the advice should be put before the tribunal for comment.
DMs should consider the guidance in DMG Chapter 03 when giving consideration to a medical opinion.
Where the Medical Services advice conflicts with the claimed needs, the DM should consider whether further evidence needs to be obtained.
Medical Services have no authority to determine claims and cannot advise directly on whether a person satisfies one of the disability tests.61025
Before submitting a case to Medical Services, the DM should be clear on why help is needed.Examples of cases where Medical Services may help are where there is a discrepancy between the description of the effects of a particular condition in the Medical Guidance and any evidence submitted by the claimant Vol 10 Amendment 34 June 2012
there are inconsistent statements in the claim pack there is a corroborative statement which is inconsistent with claimed needs the medical condition does not appear in the Medical Guidance a prognosis is needed to help in determining duration of award there is doubt as to what type of further evidence may be needed.
61026 Any request for medical advice should normally contain
a brief explanation of the problem and a list of the evidence and any authorities consulted.All sources of reference should be shown.This indicates to Medical Services how far the DM has progressed in the investigations.
61027 The questions should refer specifically to the effects of the medical conditions in each individual case.General inquiries about disability needs arising from a particular medical condition should be avoided where possible.General advice may not always be relevant and may be misleading.
Examination and report
61028 If the evidence in the claim form and advice from Medical Services is still insufficient to decide the disability questions, the DM may request further evidence such as a report from the GP's or hospital's records request a HCP examination reportNote: The DM may request other reports, for example from a physiotherapist, as necessary 1 SS Act 98, s 19(1)(a) 61029 Reports will be provided by a HCP approved by the Secretary of State.A HCP is a registered medical practitioner registered nurse registered occupational therapist or physiotherapistmember of such other regulated profession as prescribed.
Note: For the purposes of no other professions have been prescribed as HCPs at present.
1 SS Act 98, s 39(1); 2 Health Act 1999, s 60; 3 NHS Reform & Health Care Professions Act 2002, s 25(3);
SS Act 98, s 39(1) Vol 10 Amendment 34 June 2012
/M00; 00; 00;/M00; 00; 00;Failure to attend for examination
61030 The DM must decide the claim or revise the decision against the person if the DM refers the person to a Medical Adviser or HCP (see DMG 61028) and the person fails to attend for examination without good cause.
Note: Further information on medical evidence can be found at DMG Chapter 01.1 SS Act 98, s 19(3) 61031 - 61050
Vol 10 Amendment 28 June 2010

Rates of DLA care component
Highest rate 61061 The highest rate is awarded to people who are so severely disabled physically or mentally that they satisfy the day condition (DMG 61053) and the night condition (DMG 61054)1SS CB Act 92, s 72(4)(a) Middle rate 61062 The middle rate is awarded to people who are so severely disabled physically or mentally that they satisfy the day condition (DMG 61053) the night condition (DMG 61054)1 SS CB Act 92, s 72(4)(b) Lowest rate

61064 A person may be awarded only one of the rates.If a person
has satisfied the disability condition at a lower rate for three months and then begins to satisfy the conditions for a higher rate
only the lower rate is payable until the conditions for a higher rate component have been satisfied for three months1 SS CB Act 92, s 72(4) Example A woman makes a claim on 6 February.She has satisfied the conditions for the middle rate for over three months.On 8 January, her condition has deteriorated and the conditions for the highest rate are now satisfied.
The DM awards the middle rate from 6 February and the highest rate from 8 April.

AA and DLA care component - definitions
Preparation of the cooked main meal 61081 The main meal test determines a persons ability to perform key daily tasks.It is a hypothetical test to calibrate the severity of a persons disability.It is not a test of cooking ability or of the persons ability to survive or enjoy a reasonable diet without assistance.
It is a measurement of a persons physical and mental capacity to carry out complex functions.A cooked main meal means a meal for one person freshly cooked on a traditional cooker.Note: This applies to the lowest rate of the DLA care component only.

ISO Picardie Tumblers made by Duralex
I made a trip down to my nearest WS and to my astonishment they were pulled from the shelves. The sales associate said that Duralex went out of business. I couldn't believe it! They've been in business for so many years, why did they have to-right when I was ready to buy my precious collection?! :( I called CS and sure enough they are gone. I was able to order a couple 12 oz boxed sets over the phone but would like more. I wanted to have these in also the 17.5oz, 8.5oz, and 5.5oz sizes. There's got to be somewhere that still has them, right?
Please help me!
re: mnosyne
Thanks! ;)
I'm searching. What I have found so far is low stock. There seems to be plenty of the rock-a-stack kind but I want the classic original. Let me know if you find anything.
Oh my goodness, what terrible news! The original Duralex Picardie tumblers in 12 and 17.5 oz. sizes have been our household standards for years, and I was ready to replenish the stocks with an order from WS. Nothing else is as durable.
Just when i was about to buy some new Duralex! I have dealt with a poseur in the glassware department for the past five years, after capitulating to the cost/convenience factor when inventoring glassware. The look-alikes just don't cut it. For me, I hate the even-numbered sides, versus the odd number on the Picardie.
Let the board know what you find out. This (Duralex) is the best household glassware ever.
Maybe I'll have to issue a recall to my son, who went off to college with a bunch of the Picardie tumblers!
I discovered this when I went to order some Picardie tumblers for my newly married son. I couldn't imagine getting any other kind of drinking glasses. I have had mine for over 30 years! At first WS told me they were discontinued, but then a few days later the boxed sets showed up on their online catalog, and I grabbed a set for the kids. I didn't want all the sizes, but it was the best I could do. If you find a source that has plenty of the originals in stock, let us know so I can order more for me.
re: Jane917
Would you be willing to sell me those sizes from the boxed sets you don't want? :D
re: rebekah
Rebekah, I feel your pain! I gave the whole boxed set to the kids, so I have none to sell. Are the boxed sets still available online at WS? Jane
re: Jane917
Nothing is available online from WS. The first thing I did when I read Rebekah's original post was to check the WS web site, and there's nothing there. Also, searches on their site for Picardie and Duralex come up empty. I also got the latest WS catalog in the mail today (Holiday 2006), and there are no Picardie glasses in it, whereas they used to be in every single catalog (and these things come monthly! So I don't think WS is selling any more of them at all. Perhaps try ebay?
I was able to find some still being sold online from Le Tom Ltd. Patrick was quite helpful. Here's the email he sent me if you'd like to know the scoop:
"Duralex has been going through a rough patch but as far as I know (from the UK importer yesterday) they are still manufacturing at one factory, and they are still supplying the importer as normal. The other factory has been closed for safety reasons. Bear in mind that the French tend to work in weird and wondrous ways.
The UK importer has the 17oz Picardie in stock but I haven't included them in my own range. Even if I were to add a few to my next bulk order with the importer (December) I don't have any mailing boxes for that size of glass (the glasses I stock are shipped in purpose-made mailing boxes). If you're really set on the 17oz I could obtain some but each pack of six would need to be split up and shipped as individual items in some of the smaller mailing boxes I have. Sorry if this sounds long-winded. In theory I could probably ship some out to you but it would most likely be later in the month, and they would cost rather more than normal to ship to the USA.
Do let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Patrick Taylor
Le Tom Ltd"
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Seems like the only option right now.
re: rebekah
Oh, and just as an interesting aside, I think every restaurant I've ever eaten at in France uses this glassware! I first encountered them in a brasserie in Cannes, back in the sixties, and on my last trip to France, I had dinner at the Le Cognette in Issodun, (which has a nifty collection of Michelin Stars and charges accordingly!). Guess what I drank from?!?
re: Jane917
Amazon has only the new stackable shape, not the original design, which seems to be the case everywhere.
re: Jane917
I think people just prefer the older design. I know I do. And I stack them anyway.
I first drank from these glasses in 1975 as an exchange student in my French family's home, and have had them since I wnet to college in 1979. Was ready to replace some of them at WS when they disappeared from the site. Ironically, ran into them on Crate and Barrel site --- they have the espresso, juice, lo-ball and ice tea --- no high ball (12 oz) glasses, but maybe if we write enough e-mails, they might add those to their range. I'm wondering if new Duralex management (middle-eastern company bought them and worked with French gov't to bring them through bankruptcy and save some jobs) didn't re-negotiate an exclusive with WS and did a deal with Crate instead.
I'll post if I find the high balls.
Rebekah is correct in that the original shape glasses are available from http://www.le-tom.com/ but whether they will continue to be available in the future remains to be seen. This December will be a big month for the French company (according to the French press).
These products have iconic status throughout the world. I love them. Long may they live.
re: PVperson
Yes, CB carries the glasses, but NOT the classic tumbler once carried at W-S. I emailed CB and was told that the manufacturer has discontinued the glasses. I have six and want six more. What makes the search even more confounding is that the oz- measurements cited on CB are not the same as W-S used. So now I am searching and searching. I see le-tom carries the glasses, but I can't figure out which glass is the classic size. Sigh!
re: warpony
Hi Rebekah and all lovers of the "Provence" tumblers. We are an Australian coffee roaster/cafe starting up in Brooklyn and, as all espresso coffees are served in these where we come from, we've had to import them (airfreight!!) all the way from Oz. Crazy. They ship them from France and we fly them back up here to New York. Check the online Australian caterer supply sites for price but we land them at "roughly" US$2.80 each. I'm actually going to fly to Paris in a few weeks and bring back a few palets!!
i share your pain and devastation. i am in the same situ with this. went to WS and got the story. i have only ever used these glasses !! i am looking for the 6 oz juice glass size a dozen or two if supply is difficult. will also check le tom for it. but in the meantime would prefer a us source. help me please help me !!
re: foodwich
I just bought 18 of the 17 oz. Picardie tumblers at World Market in Knoxville, Tennessee for about $3.50 each. They have all the sizes, I think, and the smaller ones are less than $3.50. They are Duralex, made in France, and they are exactly the same as the older ones I have from WS.
re: Hortense
Thanks for the info! They are out of the 17 oz size. Link- http://www.worldmarket.com/kitchen-ta...
re: Bramble
They were still available at the Knoxville store this afternoon. (They are 16 7/8 oz., or 50 cl). I bought a couple of boxes to try to sell on e-bay. There are LOTS of the smaller sizes.
re: Hortense
I picked up 8 of the 17oz size at World Market(Chander, AZ) this afternoon. $3.95 each. Marked "made in France" and "Duralex". The store was well stocked in four sizes(7, 8 , 12 and 17 oz).
I have a Duralex Picardie knock-off. Same shape, slightly heavier glass. Marked Palaks, Turkey. I think I bought 'em at Wal Mart. I have one Picardie tumbler that ended up at my house when a friend carried it out of a bar, and the Palaks stuff is just as sturdy and pleasant to hold.
re: Hungry Celeste
Wal-Mart? Recently? Tell me it's true! I'll be at WM before they close!
I am looking for the same stackability and pleasant hand feel, as well as that subtle edge at the rim. Since you have a Picardie to compare with, can you tell me if it's the same odd dumber of facets? I know - personal tic, but there it is.
I'm so glad you posted - of late I have not been letting other members of the family use the Picardie for fear of, well...oopsies. Feh - the price of obsession.
re: cayjohan
The Palaks stuff might have come from Pier One or CostPlus, can't really remember. Also never noticed if the facets are odd or even numbered. The glass doesn't have quite as much flair at the top as the Picardie, more straight-sided at the top, but the faceted part is curved. Overall, they're thicker than Picardie, but I like that. I haven't broken more than two in 6 or 7 years.
re: cayjohan
I believe I drank out of a Palaks glass at my auto dealer last night. It looked a lot like a Duralex Picardie. However, it felt a little strange in my hand (I have Picardie glasses at home), and when I looked carefully, I noticed that the opposite facets were parallel (i.e., it had an even number of sides).
For some reason I thought I had posted to this thread before, but it turns out I posted to another thread:
If anyone is interested in picking up Picardie glasses, get yourself down to CostPlus tout de suite! When I posted that message last year, they were just starting to appear in our local CostPlus stores, but they quickly sold out and I didn't see any glasses for quite a few months.
Over the last few months I've noticed stock trickling in, and I picked up a few missing sizes. My last visit revealed almost all sizes in stock, but I'm still concerned that supply of the *original* Picardie could dry up without notice.

If you're interested, now is the time to stock up!
Re: Duralex Picardie Glasses
To: All Picardie lovers
From: Another Picardie lover
I was introduced to the lovely Picardie glass by my college friend, a globe-trotting flight attendant, with a penchant for all things Parisian. I amassed a rather large collection of tumblers. etc. They were so elegant, so durable, so French. They were so durable they could be dropped numerous times and miraculously, no breakage. That is until I retrieved one from the dish rack with my left hand, my arm extended to its full length. With my right hand, I opened the refrigerator door to get the milk. Suddenly, I heard a loud explosive noise. The Picardie was gone. In its place were thousands, yes, thousands of tempered glass shards. They were mostly the size of the typical piece of broken windshield glass, but there were also many very tiny extremely sharp ultra thin slices of it all over. For weeks I found broken glass everywhere, in my big toe for instance.
When I took them to Williams Sonoma to return or exchange, they were not too interested. They made me take them home and bring them back when the store manager was there. Eventually they replaced the glasses but weren't too forthcoming with what they knew about the shattering issue.
Go to www.patricktaylor.com/12 where the postings about Duralex Picardie will open your eyes--but you should be wearing your safety goggles!
Hey, Rebekah,
I don't know if you're still looking for these. Here's some updated info (as I've continued my quest).
1. Many new ones in the various sizes are still available on eBay and are quite expensive.
2. The 17.5, 12 and 8.5 oz versions are available at many Cost Plus World Market stores --- but you'll have to go to your local store and check. While there is a picture of them in the general "ambience" on their Website, they aren't available on line. However, for the time being they are in stock in the stores at a reasonable price (I'm going from memory here, but I believe that the 17.5 was $3.59, the 12 was $2.59 and the 8.5 was $1.59 each.)
3. I cruised a variety of recent news stories, and it looks like Durlex/St. Gobain is still moving through the French bankruptcy courts and that a new group has taken over from the Middle Eastern gentleman who had acquired the factory from Bormioli and then directed the factory output toward the European and Middle Eastern markets. It now looks like the courts need to evaluate the capitalization that the partners have put together for the company. A slow process, but let's cross our fingers they can bring this fine French product and tradition back into production and profitability.
Let me know what you find at your local Cost Plus World Market!
re: kvanalls

I just discovered the Picardies are in the Vermont Country Store catalog! I am so glad they are re-appearing. Mine are over 30 years old!
Any Canadian sources? I have some Provence (a bit squatter than Picardie) am looking for Gigogne, Picardie or Provence in the SMALLER sizes.
Preferably in Québec or Eastern Ontario, though I might be able to convince a friend in Toronto to buy them for me and ship them, if need be.

The prothrombin time test belongs to a group of blood tests that assess the clotting ability of blood. The test is also known as the pro time or PT test. (PT) in whole blood are being used on an increasing scale for near-patient and home PT testing. For safe oral anticoagulation, the International Normalized Ratio International Normalized Ratio Hematology A method of reporting prothrombin time–PT results for Pts receiving oral anticoagulant therapy; the INR is defined by the formula, PTPatient/PTMNPT (INR INR

This demands the calibration of monitors in terms of the International Sensitivity Index (ISI ISI International Sensitivity Index, see there ). A method for this has been described by Tripodi and coworkers (3, 4), but it is not feasible for routine work. They adapted the conventional WHO procedure for use with two different types of POCT monitors. Their method requires parallel testing on the monitors of noncitrated whole blood from 60 warfarin-treated patients and 20 healthy controls and of citrated plasmas from the same blood samples with the conventional manual PT technique. In the present study, whole blood was tested on three POCT whole-blood monitoring systems: CoaguChek Mini, CoaguChek-S, and Thrombolytic thrombolytic /throm·bo·lyt·ic/ (throm?bo-lit´ik) dissolving or splitting up a thrombus, or an agent that so acts.

Materials and Methods
The CoaguChek and TAS systems, consisting of the monitors and specific lots of test strips/cards, were provided for the study by Roche Diagnostics (Mannheim, Germany) and Bayer (Leverkusen, Germany), respectively.
CoaguChek. The CoaguChek system consisted of the meter, test strips incorporating thromboplastin thromboplastin: see blood clotting. , and a code chip containing calibration information relevant to the specific lot of test strips, such as mean normal prothrombin time (MNPT MNPT Male National Pipe Thread ), ISI, lot number, and expiration date Expiration Date

For this system, the test strip, which contains iron oxide The material used to coat the surfaces of magnetic tapes and lower-capacity disks. particles and thromboplastin, is inserted into the monitor and warmed to 37[degrees]C. An unmeasured drop of capillary blood (noncitrated) is applied to the strip. The blood is then transported to the reaction area by capillary forces, and the coagulation process is triggered by contact with the thromboplastin. There are two magnets below the test strip, a permanent magnet and an electromagnet electromagnet, device in which magnetism is produced by an electric current. Any electric current produces a magnetic field, but the field near an ordinary straight conductor is rarely strong enough to be of practical use. . The former causes the iron particles on the test strip to align horizontally, and the latter forces these particles into the vertical plane within a set frequency, giving rise to a regular pulsation pulsation /pul·sa·tion/ (pul-sa´shun) a throb, or rhythmic beat, as of the heart.

It uses the principle of photoconductivity, which is exhibited in certain materials that change their electrical conductivity when exposed to light. See photoelectric, photocell and photodiode. above the test strip registers the changes in reflected light caused by this pulsation pattern. As soon as a clot begins to form, movement of the iron particles slows until it finally stops. This produces a decrease in reflection, which is interpreted as the onset of coagulation. An algorithm programmed into the specific code chip converts this result into PT and INR.
Two CoaguChek meters and single lots of two different types of test strips (CoaguChek-S test strip lot no. 828594 and CoaguChek Mini test strip lot no. 079) were provided to each of three centers. CoaguChek-S and Mini test strips contain human recombinant and rabbit plain thromboplastin, respectively.
TAS. The TAS has recently been redesignated the RapidPointCoag, but in this study the established name of TAS has been retained. The TAS is designed primarily for near-patient testing, but it can be used for home PT testing. The TAS works on essentially the same principles as the CoaguChek. The test carriers are referred to as "test cards". A magnetic strip on the back of each test card contains all relevant calibration information, type of test, lot number, expiration date, and other test parameters, such as MNPT and ISI, specific to the individual lot of cards. This information is entered into the TAS by passing the test card through the magnetic card reader at the beginning of each test.
The test cards (lot no. 305099801) used in this study are designated PT-NC (prothrombin time noncitrated) and contain human placental placental

Until the 1990s, thromboplastins with a high ISI (>2.0) were widely used in North America, and many laboratories were accustomed to the resulting short PT. PTs displayed on some POCT monitors were therefore in terms of a typical North American North American

The CoaguChek Mini displays PTs that are considered representative of the result, in seconds, that would have been obtained with a traditional high-ISI thromboplastin. To provide results in real PT in this study, a master code chip containing a correction formula was provided by Roche Diagnostics for the CoaguChek Mini system rather than the conventional code chip.
The TAS PT-NC also does not give real PT results. During the development of the PT-NC test cards, the objective of the manufacturer was to have results as close as possible to laboratory results. The PTs on the TAS PT-NC system are therefore expressed as an assumed laboratory PT result with the actual TAS PT being longer than the displayed result on the monitor. For the TAS PT-NC, a specific correction formula was supplied by the manufacturer for this study for calculation of real PTs from those reported on the monitor display screen.
A WHO ISI calibration as modified for POCT monitors by Tripodi et al. (3) was conducted at three centers: Leiden, Manchester, and Milan. Each center collected blood samples from 20 healthy blood donors and 60 long-term patients stabilized on oral anticoagulants within the therapeutic interval (INR, 1.5-4.5). Blood samples were collected over a 5- to 10-day period at each center. All volunteers gave informed consent.

This force can be very great, and separations which proceed slowly by gravity can be speeded up enormously in centrifugal and stored at room temperature before testing. All tests were completed within 6 h of venipuncture.
Citrated plasma (0.1 mL) was transferred to a plastic tube. Calcium chloride (0.1 mL; 16.3 mmol/L) was added and mixed to give a clotting time comparable to the whole-blood clotting time and the traditional manual PT method.
Recalcified plasma was applied within 15 s [6] to the test strip/cards, and the PTs were recorded from the monitor display screens. Single tests were performed on the monitoring systems with all plasma samples. The 16.3 mmol/L calcium chloride solution was prepared individually at each of the three centers.
Manual PTs for the citrated plasmas were obtained with the European Concerted Action on Anticoagulation (ECAA ECAA European Common Aviation Area
ECAA Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority
ECAA Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association
ECAA Echelon Corps And Above ) rabbit reference plain thromboplastin ([ISI.sub.ref] = 1.67) according to the recommended procedure (5).
Single tests were performed with the patients' plasmas and duplicate tests with the control plasmas.
Calibration data. The ISIs for whole blood and citrated plasma with the three monitoring systems were derived according to the conventional WHO orthogonal regression procedure (1, 2). The logs of individual PTs for healthy blood donors and coumarin-treated patients, respectively, obtained with the ECAA rabbit reference reagent were plotted as recommended on the vertical axis against the log of the PT obtained from the monitor on the horizontal axis (1, 2). The slope of the calibration line was calculated using orthogonal regression analysis In statistics, a mathematical method of modeling the relationships among three or more variables. It is used to predict the value of one variable given the values of the others. For example, a model might estimate sales based on age and gender. . The precision of the calibration slope (b) was determined by its CV: CV(b) = 100 = SE(b)/b, where SE (b) is the standard error of b. The assumption that the mean log PT for the healthy blood donors lies on the calibration line derived from the PTs for patient samples only was assessed by the displacement test of Tomenson (6). This determines the significance of the vertical distance (displacement) of the mean of the log PT for the healthy blood donors from the patient-only line. The estimated slopes of the calibration lines based on the PTs for both healthy blood donors and patients and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals are given to allow a comparison between whole-blood and citrated plasma calibrations for each of the three monitoring systems. The ISI was derived as: ISI = b x [ISI.sub.ref], where [ISI.sub.ref] = 1.67 is the ISI of the ECAA rabbit reference thromboplastin.

Assessment of INR. The prothrombin prothrombin

The INRs derived from this PR and the mean citrated plasma ISI were then obtained, and the absolute percentage of deviation from the whole-blood INR of 3.0 was determined. As in previous reports (7-9), the absolute percentage of INR deviation was deemed clinically relevant if >10%.
Results for the three monitoring systems are coded as systems A, B, and C. The ISI values and the calibration statistics for whole-blood samples and plasmas on the three monitoring systems at each of the three centers are given in Table 1. The mean results for these three centers are given in Table 2.
The CV of the calibration line slopes was 1.9-3.9% excluding system C results at Milan, which used a different lot number of test cards/strips. For systems A and C at all three centers and system B at two centers, the CV of the slope was smaller for plasmas than for whole-blood samples. For system A at all three centers, there was a small difference between the CVs of the slopes for the whole-blood samples and plasmas. There were larger differences between the whole-blood and citrated plasma CVs at one of the three centers with system B and at all three centers with system C.
There was evidence (P <0.01) that the mean log PT for healthy individuals did not lie on the patient-only calibration line (i.e., significant displacement) in 2 of the 18 calibrations. This is greater than the number of significant displacements that would be expected by chance in 18 tests at the 1% level. The two calibrations giving significant displacement were with plasmas on systems A and B (see Table 1). Fig. 1 shows both the lines for patients and healthy blood donors combined and the patient-only line for these calibrations.
The clinical significance of the displacement was assessed according to WHO guidelines (2). The PR corresponding to a theoretic Tomenson-corrected (6) INR of 2.0 was calculated. The INR determined with this PR and the ISI derived from the slope of the line for samples from both patients and healthy individuals was compared with the INR of 2.0 (see Table 1). This was repeated for a theoretic INR of 4.5. The absolute percentage of INR deviation exceeded the WHO 10% limit (2) for system B only.
Again there was little difference in mean ISI (see Table 2) for whole-blood and plasma samples at the three centers on systems A and B. However, for system C, the difference between the mean ISIs for whole blood and citrated plasma was much greater. Fig. 2, which gives the calibration slopes and the 95% confidence intervals, allows a comparison of slopes for whole blood and citrated plasma. Although there were between-center differences in the slopes for both systems A and B, there was little within-center difference between the slopes obtained for whole blood and plasma at the individual centers. With system C, the within-center difference between the calibration slopes for whole blood and plasma was much greater at two of the three centers.
The theoretic citrated plasma INR derived from the mean plasma ISI and the PR corresponding to an INR of 3.0 obtained from the mean whole-blood ISI are shown in Table 2. The absolute percentage of deviation of the plasma INR from the whole-blood INR of 3.0 was considerably less than the 10% limit for systems A and B. For system B, there was no difference between INRs because the mean ISIs for whole blood and citrated plasma were the same. With system C, the two centers with the same lot of test cards/strips gave ~12% lower INRs with plasma than with whole blood.
The MNPTs with the three monitoring systems based on both whole-blood and plasma samples are given in Table 3. At all three centers with systems A and B, MNPTs were significantly longer (P <0.0001) with plasmas than with whole blood. With system C, the pattern in the difference was not consistent at the three centers. At Leiden, the MNPT was significantly shorter (P <0.0001) with the plasmas than with the whole blood. At Manchester, the plasma MNPT on system C was shorter than the MNPT for whole blood, but the difference was not significant (P = 0.06). The plasma MNPT was significantly longer (P = 0.03) than the MNPT for whole blood at Milan.
This study demonstrates that provided an appropriate calcium chloride concentration is used to recalcify the citrated plasma, plasma PT results can be used for accurate ISI calibration of two of the three whole-blood POCT monitoring systems considered in this report. Results showed little difference between plasma and whole-blood ISIs. With the third system, the difference in ISI between plasma and whole-blood calibrations produced a clinically relevant difference in INR. A theoretic PR of 2.6 gave a 12% INR difference between whole blood and citrated plasma (3.00 and 2.63, respectively). This would need to be investigated further to determine whether this problem can be resolved.
The precision of the resulting calibrations using the WHO procedure modified by Tripodi et al. (3) based on 20 healthy controls and 60 long-term coumarin-treated patients was satisfactory. The CV of the calibration slope was less than the recommended upper limit of 3% set for conventional manual PT testing (2) at two centers on two monitoring systems with both whole-blood and citrated plasma samples. At the third center, the slope CVs were close to 3%. With the third monitoring system, slope CVs were <3% at one center and <5% at all three centers. There was no suggestion, however, that substitution of plasma samples made the precision of the calibration poorer with the PT monitors; indeed, the mean CV of the slope was greater with whole blood for all three monitoring systems.
In the present study, a secondary reference thromboplastin (ECAA rabbit reference plain thromboplastin) was used in the ISI calibrations. Although WHO guidelines recommend like-species calibrations (2), only one of the three POCT systems was calibrated with like-species thromboplastin. For this reason and because of the important differences between results at the three centers, a larger study is required with relevant WHO International Reference Preparations for accurate ISI determinations. This is currently being undertaken in an ECAA multicenter calibration of the CoaguChek Mini and TAS systems against the human and rabbit thromboplastin International Reference Preparations.

[6] To determine the maximum time allowable between recalcification and testing of plasma samples on the POCT monitoring systems, recalcified plasma was added to two of the three POCT systems after 5, 30, 60, and 90 s with the order of testing on the two instruments being reversed on subsequent samples. Five replicate tests were performed for each time interval. Results obtained on the CoaguChek system showed no change over the time intervals, but results obtained on the TAS system suggested some shortening of PT after 30 s. Detailed study on the TAS performed at intervals of 5 s for up to 30 s indicated a progressive shortening of PT after 15 s. It was therefore decided to perform all tests with recalcified plasmas on all three POCT systems within 15 s.

- Local Hangout for great SeafoodHiTechRobDined on 11/24/2014If you're looking for a great seafood restaurant that the locals prefer, and I would certainly say that Hanks is probably at the top of that list. Order the fried mashed potatoes for something different in your side items. The grouper as well as beef tenderloin or cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive but worth it.KEGZ8Dined on 11/21/2014Our best dining experience in Charleston….don't take the kids.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous oyster stewLocal13Dined on 11/21/2014Attentive wait staff, described any questions on the menu in detail, excellent food and vibrant atmosphere. The seafood crevice was fabulous and very nicely presented, oyster stew was the best I have tasted - full of flavor, plenty of oysters and no trace of flour in the creamy smooth broth. Devine and filling. Will definitely return again and that is special in this city where notable restaurants abound.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 11/19/2014Not very impressed......food average & noise level very high. Too many great restaurants in Charleston to warrant a return trip.Special Features:
- The best seafoodcathybDined on 11/19/2014This was our second time eating at Hank's. The food is phenomenal! You can't go wrong eating here. If you love seafood, Hank's is the place to go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Charleston StandardSuperRestaurantManDined on 11/16/2014The wife and I headed to Hanks for one of many anniversary meals over a long Charleston weekend in November. This restaurant not only held its own against uber-popular upstarts like "Husk" and Charleston classics like " 82 Queen" and "Rue de jean" but, stood out as our favorite. Service was outstanding, seafood fresh and expertly prepared. The atmosphere was really nice without being stiff or pretentious. Will be going back with regularitySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great fresh seafood!FfxgrlDined on 11/16/2014I was looking for a place with fresh tasty seafood and found it here. Grilled yellwfin tuna with sauteed spinach and warm fresh bread was just the ticket. Service was attentive and jazz music in the background combined to give me a great dining experience. If you're in CCharleston, dine here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hank's Seafood :)EmilyDined on 11/15/2014Delicious seafood. Great open atmosphere. Our ceviche appetizer was especially good. And the Bouillabaisse was the best I have ever had! Cocktails were excellent. The Banana cream pie was a little off-- acidic not creamy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingPowcha912Dined on 11/15/20144 women dined with great food and great service. The soups, tuna appetizer, house salad, grouper, mahi mahi, swordfish and peanut butter/chocolate pie were all great! Will definitely come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seafood for touristPdsnyder123Dined on 11/15/2014By far the seafood tower is the best and most impressive item on the menu~~ our friends from Asheville took us to Hanks Sat nite, the place was packed, we'd had reser for several weeks (we don't mind a wait tho, so that was not an issue) I ordered the no. 4~~ the fried shrimp were good , the oysters were unrecognizable and the fried medallions, I assume were potatoes I didn't eat~~ The table at the door should be removed during cold weather, every time someone opened it, it was like stepping into a meat locker~however the hostess was very accommodating and moved us. I love your bar area and again love that tower, unfortunately we didn't get that~~ but the fried food is cooked too long
- The noise level was too much to hear conversation.bluetangDined on 11/15/2014This restaurant was awesome. However, don't take a date on a Saturday night as the noise levels are deaffening. I could not even converse with my dining partner! Too many hard surfaces and not enough around to absorb the sound. That said, the staff, bartenders and chefs are excellent. Food is to die for. Fresh seafood with expert preparation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hank's does Charleston ProudJLIIIDined on 11/15/2014Hank's Seafood Restaurant is an excellent selection for a professional business dinner. Our guests were from the East and West Coasts and the dining experience on a Saturday night was tremendous. We were seated right at our reservation time with gracious service throughout the evening. The drink and menu selections were diverse and highlighted the feel of Charleston. The experience was enjoyed by all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'm still in love!FleazyDined on 11/14/2014I dined here five years ago and was delighted with my experience. Again, (in Chaleston for a funeral) Hank's was there perfectly. I especially enjoy their Collards!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food! One of the best in Charleston!ChrisDined on 11/13/2014Great food. My only issue was that it was crowded and a little noisy for my taste. However, I wouldn't hesitate to eat there again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As good as we hopedlindin5Dined on 11/13/2014We wanted to try yet another great restaurant in Charleston. We recently moved here and have tried quiet a few. I read the reviews for Hanks and they were excellent. We decided to try it ourselves and it was all we expected and more. Food was well prepared with a good presentation. It was very busy but our waiter was attentive and made good recommendations. We shall return..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Did not live up to the hypekbeatswellDined on 11/12/2014I think we expecting more than was delivered. Our food was good but not memorable. Same could be said for the whole experience. I will say in defense of Hanks, perhaps we didn't order their best items. The table next to us ordered lobsters and oysters and it looked like the better option. If we go back, I am ordering that.Special Features:
- Excellence Remains the StandardAppreciativeDinerVIPDined on 11/12/2014This was our second visit to Hanks and it was not disappointing. The service, food and overall atmosphere was outstanding. This is a place fit for foodies and after work gathering. The Shrimp and Grits were excellent as was the baked Grouper. The Fried oyster with corn and okra is mouth watering.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great mealOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/11/2014Wonderful meal. The tuna was excellent, the drinks were also very goodSpecial Features:
- We were rushedRushDined on 11/10/2014No time between courses. If you're in a rush, this is a good place, the food is very good, but it's a factory and that was disappointing indeed. They wanted to turn the table. That's too bad. Wouldn't go back. Had a reservation, but had to wait 15 minutes for our table. They told us to go to the bar and have a drink, but there was no place to stand or sit, so we stood in the lobby. No seating. Had to stand on hard tile flooring. Not comfortable at all. There just too many other places to go, so we won't be coming back.
- Charleston get awayMarieDined on 11/9/2014We have been meeting family in Charleston for over ten years. When we first came upon , we liked the look of the "room" We loved sitting in the booths looking out at the bar scene and other diners. We have now made this our first dinner when we arrive in Charleston. Hanks doesn't disappoint. The wait staff is knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. They know what they are doing. The good is excellent. I especially love the scallops....delicious. As busy as Hank's is, we have never felt rushed ..we linger and enjoy the food and the company.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/9/2014we read many great things about Hanks, we were really looking forward to it. we had two guests we were taking there. We had the sample dozen oysters to start, they were very good. We also ordered the fried calamari which had little flavor and consistency was off. One person in the group had seared tuna, which was cooked perfectly, however came with no other food, so he left hungry and got a hamburger elsewhere. Perhaps the waitstaff could have informed him, he may want to order a side. As it was our first time we didn't know how big the portions would be. another person had the bouillabaisse which had plenty of seafood! but lacked great flavor, and was thus disappointed. we also ordered seafood A LA Wando & shrimp & grits, they were good
- The Perfect MealCaryDined on 11/9/2014Don't know when I've enjoyed dinner more! Very convenient to everything we wanted to do. Walked through the market. Took the historic horse drawn carriage ride through beautiful Charleston and walked across the street to eat. Our service was excellent and the food even better. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great atmosphereBigFoodieDined on 11/9/2014We went here because we heard it was a good place to eat. But it was an excellent place to eat. The drinks were professionally made, the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. I would certainly recommend a reservation because even on a Sunday it fills up fast. I had the shrimp and grits which were in a tomato base but absolutely fantastic. We will certainly be going here again when we come back to Charleston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mathguyDined on 11/8/2014I live in Charleston and avoided Hanks for years because I thought it was a tourist trap, plus the Physics Department takes their interview candidates there and everyone knows physicists have weird taste. Consider Sheldon. Then last year an old friend was in town and he wanted to go to Hanks. We three good friends went there for dinner ( I reluctantly ). The first thing that caught my attention was that it was jammed with locals (a good sign, providing they're not physicists). The atmosphere was soothing, the service was friendly, professional, and very accommodating. The food was fantastic. It could very well be the best seafood that I've ever had in Charleston and I'm a foodie who has lived here for 33 years.Special Features:
- CrowdedEatoutNCDined on 11/8/2014We were told to wait in the bar until our reserved table was ready. Every seat at the bar was taken by people eating at the bar leaving no room for reserved dinersSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining on the edgeDiningDined on 11/8/2014The location was very good with a parking garage next door and a block down from the city market. The service was very good. The food was acceptable but sparse. And the price was a little over the top. We have dined in a number of high-end restaurants in Chicago, D.C., and Baltimore as well as various places in Florida and the Lowcountry. This place is slightly overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. Fortunately, we were given a window seat looking out toward the market. The experience would have been far less had we been seated on the interior of this busy restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent seafood!KellyCVIPDined on 11/8/2014Best seafood preparation I have had in Charleston. Grouper was outstanding. Wonderful service and space. I will return often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hank's good good82NeveragainDined on 11/8/2014Plan your visit early with reservations for prompt seating and a good location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top ChoiceHunterGreenDined on 11/7/2014I'll keep it simple. I always find something to complain about but not this time. If you're in Town...go to Hank'sSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceDinerDanDined on 11/7/2014The She-Crab soup was fantastic! So were the oysters and the shrimp & grits. It was a busy night. So glad we had reservations. Service was perfect. Will certainly be on our list again on our next trip to Charleston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TigerNickDined on 11/7/2014Very classy restaurant with great food. Service was outstanding. Hank's is highly recommended and one of the best places to eat in Charleston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hank never fails!AuntsugarVIPDined on 11/6/2014We had a fine experience for our group of 6, with 4 from out of town and all hungry for seafood. Never have been disappointed here so order any item and you'll be happy. There is a "Joiner" table in the middle so if you are by yourself or 1 couple, you'd love this concept. The restaurant was crowded but is spacious so there was a great vibe with so many enjoying themselves.Special Features:
- CentralFlResidentDined on 11/6/2014Had the fried platter - the best I've ever had. Was lightly fried rather than over fried as encountered in so many restaurants. Also, reservation was honored within 3 minutes of reservation time.Special Features:
- Great RestaurantJPBeckerDined on 11/6/2014Visited while on vacation for a wedding. Food was amazin! Wonderful restaurant. Simply put, the service was beyond excellent.Special Features:

- Great, as usual.JBjrDined on 11/5/2014Food was great. Ambiance good, if noisey. Great space. We had a reservation and even though the place was slammed we were seated within five minutes of our time. Much appreciated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, old school styleOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 11/1/2014The food was excellent. Very fresh and many classic dishes with a slight twist in ingredients or presentation. Loved the pecan pie, too!Special Features:
- Good but saltyCarolinkusVIPDined on 11/1/2014The atmosphere was good. The service was excellent. The food was flavorful. I got the She Crab soup, very good. And, the Grilled Jumbo Shrimp - the flavor was great, but I have never had food that was that salty. The shrimp was too salty to eat. That was unfortunate as my friend enjoyed her meal. I did let the server know and was given a free cappuccino.Special Features:
- Classic menu and elegant decorAskthelmaDined on 11/1/2014Excellent meal featuring local seafood and classic southern entrees and desserts; outstanding service; elegant decor.Special Features:
- Very nice dinnertttttttVIPDined on 11/1/2014Good service, good food, fun atmosphere. After reading some of the reviews I was a little leary about this restaurant as my wife does not eat seafood. Turned out my worry was unfounded as there were plenty of choices for her to enjoy.

Derale Cooling Products fan clutches are engineered to improve your vehicle's cooling system efficiency. The clutches engage the fan at low speeds when additional cooling is needed. At high speeds, the clutches disengage the fan, removing the load against the engine and allowing the engine to run more efficiently. There are two types of fan clutches--non-thermal and thermal. Non-thermal fan clutches engage the fan based on the shaft speed of the water pump. Thermal fan clutches engage the fan based on a bi-metal thermostatic coil, which senses the underhood temperature. Derale Cooling Products offers a full line of thermal and non-thermal fan clutches to fit most popular foreign and domestic applications. Fan clutches are available in standard and reverse rotation.

The Brody Jewish Center at UVa and the Jewish Social Justice Council (JSJC) held a homeless sleep-out Sunday and Monday night of this week. This is the eighth year the group has held the campout.
About 15 students slept in the Amphitheatre on grounds each night to raise awareness and money for homelessness in Charlottesville.
Unofficially, the group raised $1,000. That money will go toward The Crossing, a homeless and low-income house in Charlottesville.
Callum Weinburg, JSJC Secretary and Publicity Chair for the sleep-out, said, "We really just want to raise awareness and let people know that there is a problem and that there are groups, foundations, organizations out there trying to fix the problem. But we need to know there is a problem before they can be fixed."
The group raised more money this year when compared to last year.
