Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare condition in which a baby is born without the ability to properly break down an amino acid called phenylalanine.
PKU; Neonatal phenylketonuria
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. Both parents must pass on the defective gene in order for a baby to have the condition. This is called an autosomal recessive trait.
Babies with PKU are missing an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase, which is needed to break down an essential amino acid called phenylalanine. The substance is found in foods that contain protein.
Without the enzyme, levels of phenylalanine and two closely-related substances build up in the body. These substances are harmful to the central nervous system and cause brain damage.
Phenylalanine plays a role in the body's production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color. Therefore, infants with the condition often have lighter skin, hair, and eyes than brothers or sisters without the disease.
Other symptoms may include:
If the condition is untreated or foods containing phenylalanine are not avoided, a "mousy" or "musty" odor may be detected on the breath and skin and in urine. The unusual odor is due to a buildup of phenylalanine substances in the body.
PKU can be easily detected with a simple blood test. All states in the US require a PKU screening test for all newborns as part of the newborn screening panel. The test is generally done by taking a few drops of blood from the baby before the baby leaves the hospital.
If the initial screening test is positive, further blood and urine tests are required to confirm the diagnosis.
PKU is a treatable disease. Treatment involves a diet that is extremely low in phenylalanine, particularly when the child is growing. The diet must be strictly followed. This requires close supervision by a registered dietitian or doctor, and cooperation of the parent and child. Those who continue the diet into adulthood have better physical and mental health. "Diet for life" has become the standard recommended by most experts. This is especially important before conception and throughout pregnancy.
Phenylalanine occurs in significant amounts in milk, eggs, and other common foods. The artificial sweetener NutraSweet (aspartame) also contains phenylalanine. Any products containing aspartame should be avoided.
A special infant formula called Lofenalac is made for infants with PKU. It can be used throughout life as a protein source that is extremely low in phenylalanine and balanced for the remaining essential amino acids.
Taking supplements such as fish oil to replace the long chain fatty acids missing from a standard phenylalanine-free diet may help improve neurologic development, including fine motor coordination. Other specific supplements, such as iron or carnitine, may be needed.
The outcome is expected to be very good if the diet is closely followed, starting shortly after the child's birth. If treatment is delayed or the condition remains untreated, brain damage will occur. School functioning may be mildly impaired.
If proteins containing phenylalanine are not avoided, PKU can lead to intellectual disability by the end of the first year of life.
Severe intellectual disability occurs if the disorder is untreated. ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) appears to be a common problem seen in those who do not stick to a very low-phenylalanine diet.
Call your health care provider if your infant has not been tested for PKU. This is particularly important if anyone in your family has the disorder.
An enzyme assay can determine if parents carry the gene for PKU. Chorionic villus sampling can be done during pregnancy to screen the unborn baby for PKU.
It is very important that women with PKU closely follow a strict low-phenylalanine diet both before becoming pregnant and throughout the pregnancy, since build-up of this substance will damage the developing baby even if the child has not inherited the defective gene.

Vudu Churchill Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 8 of 8 reviews
"Great cigar!"
This is a boss cigar! I bought them for my 18th birthday and I must say it was a great choice! It has a sweet but peppery taste and I'll definitely be buying these again! Save these for special occasions for sure or a poker night with the boys(and girls) not only will you be smoking in style but you will love the taste Rocky Patel did an excellent job making these!! Besides the burn I'd give these a solid 90 out of 100
Zach in Fair oaks CA August 16, 2013
"not bad far from great"
I have smoked about 3 or 4 from 10pm that I ordered and I just can't get excited over these. No pizzazz. I'm gonna let the rest age a month and try again. Not bad but not box worthy.
dewayne in ft lauderdale fl August 6, 2013
"very flavorful!!!"
I have smoked about 50+ of these beauties, in various configurations. I enjoyed the churchills the best. The only drawback I saw, was that a few of them didnt burn evenly, but if you like a cigar that is full-bodied, and produces thick, aromatic clouds of smoke, this is the one for you.
Len B. in Redding, ca. March 10, 2013
An enjoyable cigar with a deep rich flavor. I especially like it with a Guinness at the end of Saturday yard work! Sometimes the wrapper doesn't burn as fast as the fill.
Jeremy in Omaha, me August 3, 2012
"Great cigar at an affordable price,very smooth,tha"
This is one of Rockys best and one of my favorites,a cigar smoker for over 43 years,I keep 40 of these in my humi,they are my go to cigar when I'm ready to relax and enjoy....obtw if your cigar shop isnt up to par and the cigars are dry...don't buy there...it's the only way they will learn we know what we should get when we lay down our bucks for smoke's.
Ron in Cleveland,Tn. June 3, 2012
"great full body cigar"
very suprising for the price if you enjoy a full body cigar. i would recommend this one
Robert M in February 27, 2012
"Great Cigar"
Vudu is a great smoking cigar. I love the box they come in.
Sean in Ft. Worth August 22, 2011
The VUDU churchill maduro cigar was one of the worst cigars that I have ever attempted to smoke. The wrapper was of poor construction as it was extremely dry on the end cap and had several raised veins. When I used my punch the end cap actually crackled which was my first sign that this was not going to be a good experience. The draw was too easy and extremely hot. The taste was very bitter and became more foul with each draw. I only smoked about an inch of the cigar when due to the foul taste and aroma, I extinguished it and place it in the cello wrapper to return along with the other four VUDUS. Rocky Patel definitely needs to go back to the proverbial drawing board on this one. I have been smoking strong maduro full body cigars for over 25 years and definitely have the experience to tell when one is bad and when it is good. Hopefully this review proves helpful to the makers of this cigar.
Respectfully, Tony Meadows

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is scar tissue in the filtering unit of the kidney. This structure is called the glomerulus. The glomeruli serve as filters that help the body get rid of harmful substances. Each kidney has thousands of glomeruli.
"Focal" means that some of the glomeruli become scarred. Others remain normal. "Segmental" means that only part of an individual glomerulus is damaged.
Segmental glomerulosclerosis; Focal sclerosis with hyalinosis
The cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is often unknown.
The condition affects both children and adults. It occurs slightly more often in men and boys. It is also more common in African Americans. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis causes up to a quarter of all cases of nephrotic syndrome .
Known causes include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This exam may show issue swelling (edema) and high blood pressure. Signs of kidney (renal) failure and excess fluid may develop as the condition gets worse.
Tests may include:
Treatments may include:
The goal of treatment is to control the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome and prevent chronic kidney failure .
In general, treatments may include:
More than half of those with focal or segmental glomerulosclerosis develop chronic kidney failure within 10 years.
Call your doctor if you develop symptoms of this condition, especially if there is:
No prevention is known.

Aspergillosis is an infection or allergic response due to the Aspergillus fungus.
Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus (Aspergillus). The fungus is commonly found growing on dead leaves, stored grain, compost piles, or in other decaying vegetation. It can also be found on marijuana leaves.
Although most people are often exposed to Aspergillus, infections caused by the fungus rarely occur in people who have a healthy immune system. Rare infections caused by aspergillus include pneumonia and fungus ball (aspergilloma).
There are several forms of aspergillosis:
Symptoms depend on the type of infection.
Symptoms of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis may include:
Other symptoms depend on the part of the body affected, and may include:
Tests to diagnose Aspergillus infection include:
A fungus ball is usually not treated (with antifungal medicines) unless there is bleeding into the lung tissue. In such a case, surgery and medicines are needed.
Invasive aspergillosis is treated with several weeks of an antifungal medicine. It can be given by mouth or IV (into a vein). Endocarditis caused by Aspergillus is treated by surgically removing the infected heart valves. Long-term antifungal therapy is also needed.
Antifungal medicines alone do not help people with allergic aspergillosis. Allergic aspergillosis is treated with medicines that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressive drugs), such as prednisone.
With treatment, people with allergic aspergillosis usually get better over time. It is common for the disease to come back (relapse) and need repeat treatment.
If invasive aspergillosis does not get better with drug treatment, it eventually leads to death. The outlook for invasive aspergillosis also depends on the person's underlying disease and immune system health.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of aspergillosis or if you have a weakened immune system and develop a fever.
Precautions should be taken when using medicines that suppress the immune system. Preventing AIDS also prevents certain diseases, including aspergillosis, that are associated with a damaged or weakened immune system.

Panthers upend Knights for playoff victory
By BOB DAVIDSON
Special to The Hays Daily News
SALINA -- Sacred Heart's defense put the brakes on Phillipsburg's steamroller offense in the second half of their Class 3A playoff game Tuesday night.
Unfortunately for the Knights, too much damage had been done the first half.
Phillipsburg built a 27-7 halftime lead -- the last touchdown coming 9 seconds before the break -- and the Panthers held off Sacred Heart's second-half rally in notching a 27-20 first-round victory at Martin Stadium.
The loss ends Sacred Heart's season, leaves the Knights with a final 8-2 record and was the final game for the 19 seniors on the Knights' roster.
The contest also may have been the final chapter in the long history of Martin Stadium, which is scheduled for demolition sometime this fall so Kansas Wesleyan can begin construction on a proposed $7.5 million facility.
Phillipsburg (9-1) will play defending champion Scott City in a regional contest Saturday in Phillipsburg.
Sacred Heart scored on its first play from scrimmage when Trevor Webb went 56 yards up the middle untouched.
The rest of the half, though, belonged to the Panthers and their multi-pronged option running game.
Phillipsburg answered Webb's touchdown with scoring runs of 83 and 63 yards by Hunter Kohler just 2 minutes, 42 seconds apart in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Michael Dusin scored from the 14 and Riley Juenemann hit Sam Sage with a 5-yard touchdown pass just before halftime, capping the Knights' big first half.
"We lost coverage, the guy scrambled around," Sacred Heart coach Bruce Graber said of Juenemann's pass to Sage after scrambling out of trouble. "We had a hard time getting any (quarterback) pressure in the first half. I've got to look at the film but I thought we physically got handled in both lines. It got away from us in the first half."
Phillispburg coach J.B. Covington was pleased with his team's defensive work the first half.
"They hit us on that first play and after that we buckled down pretty well and executed what we were wanting to do defensively," he said. "It's tough to defend them, they're a good offense."
The Panthers were certainly good offensively themselves, led by Kohler who finished with 110 yards on 15 carries. Grant Wickham had 74 yards on 12 carries and Dusin 45 yards on 12 carries.
But Sacred Heart managed to slow the Panthers the final 24 minutes and got its offense untracked.
The Knights took the second half kickoff and drove 76 yards on 10 plays, Clayton Wetter going the final 4 yards for the score, making it 27-14 with 6:55 left in the quarter.
Sacred Heart made it interesting when Wuthnow scrambled out of a jam and threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Matt McKee with 6:00 left in the game. The extra point kick failed, though, and it was 27-20.
But the Knights' offense didn't touch the ball again as Phillipsburg ran out the clock on 13 running plays, gaining three first downs in the process.
"We played the same personnel, played the same defense (the second half)," Graber said. "We could not get them to understand assignment football (the first half). When you play option football, you've got to play assignment football and we were not hitting anybody. We just did a bad job playing defense.
"We handled the line of scrimmage much better (the second half) but you dig yourself a hole, it's kind of hard to get out of sometimes."
Covington said his squad backed off the gas pedal in the second half.
"We got a little tentative there and were kind of conservative offensively," he said. "But we felt like we were playing well enough defensively that if we controlled the ball a little bit and took some time off the clock we'd have a chance to win."
Webb had 101 yards rushing on 12 carries for Sacred Heart while Wuthnow had 68 on 14 carries and Wetter 35 yards on nine carries.
Despite the loss, Graber was pleased with his team's determination against a quality opponent.
"Our kids obviously didn't quit and kept trying to work their way back into the game," he said. "(Phillipsburg) is a good football team, they're so athletic. Every skill kid they have can run."

We will reply as soon as possible.
I bought a pair of the black Elsinore Boots in August of this year and the liner in the heel portion is already worn down to the metal plate and has given me blisters, but I continue wearing them because I love Icon. I also have the short El Bajos which I wear on special occasions. I own nothing but Icon gear. I have three Icon Alliance helmets, an Overlord Prime and regular Overlord Jacket, Strongarm Pants, Leg armor and many more. I called Cycle Gear and asked if I was still under warranty and they said no it has exceeded their 30 day policy and I should try con acting the manufacturer directly. Is there anything you guys can do?
Thank you for your continued to support of ICON, we appreciate you reaching out. Cycle Gear is mistaken because all of our gear has a 1 year limited warranty. You should be able to receive a new pair because your issue is covered under warranty.

He may be new, but Arsenio has played a crucial role in Tat-2's Elite Fugitive Recovery Team. It also doesn't hurt that he's a big guy - sometimes fugitives need some convincing to come along easily.
Tat-2 and his boys go after a crack addict living with her grandparents. Being on the run for almost 2 months however, means that this one's not going away to jail peacefully.
Tat-2 goes in full force to catch one of the most unpredictable fugitives he's ever come across. Not only is this guy cagey, devious, and probably armed, but he's also threatened to kill his girlfriend and the police if captured.
With Viper temporarily out, the Elite Fugitive Recovery team is down a man - but that doesn't slow them down in their hunt for a man wanted for murder. Did we mention this guy is part of a gang called the "Harvey Hustlers"?
When you bust into a fugitive's house, you never know what they're gonna do, who they're with, or what dangerous weapons they're carrying. Bounty hunting is a tough job with high stakes, and Viper knows this firsthand.
Already arrested 27 times in one year alone for narcotics, this fugitive has plenty of experience of avoiding law enforcement. That's fine, because now that Tat-2 and the Elite Fugitive Recovery Team are on her trail, this arrest will be her last.
When a woman is caught with cocaine, Tat-2 slaps on a pair of mean-looking fangs and rounds up his boys to track her down. Only problem is, she's speeding away on a bike as they near her home.
Tat-2's got one hell of a reputation on the streets of New Orleans, and Wally can tell you all about it.
Bounty hunting is always an adventure full of dangerous twists and turns, and no one knows that better than Wally from Big Easy Justice.
Who knows Tat-2 better than his right hand man? Viper's here and he's got the scoop on the fearless leader of the Elite Fugitive Recovery Team.

VATICAN CITY – Catholicism is reeling a day after Pope Benedict XVI, with a few words in Latin, did what no pope in more than half a millennium had done, stunning the world by announcing his resignation and leaving the already troubled Catholic Church to replace the leader of its more than a billion followers by Easter.
Not even his closest associates had advance word of the news, a Monday bombshell that he dropped during a routine meeting of Vatican cardinals. And with no clear favorites to succeed him, another surprise likely awaits when the cardinals elect Benedict's successor next month.
"Without doubt this is a historic moment," said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protégé and former theology student of Benedict's who is considered a papal contender. "Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath."
The Feb. 28 resignation allows for a fast-track conclave to elect a new pope, since the traditional nine days of mourning that would follow a pope's death doesn't have to be observed. It also gives Benedict, 85, great sway over the choice of his successor. Though he will not himself vote, he has handpicked the bulk of the College of Cardinals – the princes of the church who will elect his successor – to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church.
The resignation may mean that age will become less of a factor when electing a new pope, since candidates may no longer feel compelled to stay for life.
"For the century to come, I think that none of Benedict's successors will feel morally obliged to remain until their death," said Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, of Paris.
Benedict said as recently as 2010 that a pontiff should resign if he got too old or infirm to do the job, but it was a tremendous surprise when he said in Latin that his "strength of mind and body" had diminished and that he couldn't carry on. He said he would resign effective 8 p.m. local time Feb. 28.
"All the cardinals remained shocked and were looking at each other," said Monsignor Oscar Sanchez, of Mexico, who was in the room at the time of the announcement.
As a top aide, Benedict watched from up close as Pope John Paul II suffered publicly from the Parkinson's disease that enfeebled him in the final years of his papacy. Clearly, Benedict wanted to avoid the same fate as his advancing age took its toll, though the Vatican insisted the announcement was not prompted by any specific malady.
The Vatican said Benedict would live in a congregation for cloistered nuns inside the Vatican, although he will be free to go in and out. Much of this is uncharted territory. The Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said he isn't even sure of Benedict's title – perhaps "pope emeritus."
As in recent elections, some push is expected for the election of a Third World pope, with several names emerging from Asia, Africa and Latin America, home to about 40 percent of the world's Catholics.
Contenders to be Benedict's successor include Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan; Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Canadian head of the Vatican's office for bishops.
Long shots include Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York. Although Dolan is popular and backs the pope's conservative line, being from a world superpower would probably hurt his chances. That might also rule out Cardinal Raymond Burke, an archconservative and the Vatican's top judge, even though he is known and respected by most Vatican cardinals.
Cardinal Antonio Tagle, archbishop of Manila, has impressed many Vatican-watchers, but at 56, he is considered too young.
Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson of Ghana is one of the highest-ranking African cardinals at the Vatican, currently heading the Vatican's office for justice and peace, but he's something of a wild card.
There are several "papabiles" in Latin America, though the most well-known – Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga, of Honduras – is considered far too liberal to be elected by such a conservative College of Cardinals.
The pope has clearly slowed down significantly in recent years, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences. He now goes to and from the altar in St. Peter's Basilica on a moving platform to spare him the long walk down the aisle. Occasionally, he uses a cane.
As early as 2010, Benedict began to look worn out: He had lost weight and didn't seem fully engaged when visiting bishops briefed him on their dioceses. But as tired as he often seemed, he would also bounce back, enduring searing heat in Benin to bless a child and gamely hanging on when a freak storm forced him to cut short a speech during a youth festival in Madrid in 2011.
His 89-year-old brother, Georg Ratzinger, said doctors recently advised the pope not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips.
"His age is weighing on him," Ratzinger told the dpa news agency in Germany. "At this age, my brother wants more rest."
"He has looked very, very run-down," agreed U.S. Cardinal Edwin O'Brien, who was present for Monday's announcement, speaking to Sirius XM's Catholic Channel.
Benedict emphasized that to carry out the duties of being pope, "both strength of mind and body are necessary – strengths which in the last few months, have deteriorated in me."
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited" to the demands of being the pope, he told the cardinals.
In a way, it shouldn't have come as a surprise. Benedict himself raised the possibility of resigning if he were too old or sick to continue.
"If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he has a right, and under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign," Benedict said in the 2010 book "Light of the World."
But he stressed that resignation was not an option to escape a particular burden, such as the church's scandal of child sex abuse by clergy. "When the danger is great, one must not run away. For that reason, now is certainly not the time to resign. Precisely at a time like this one must stand fast and endure the situation," he said.
The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said Benedict decided to resign after his March 2012 trip to Mexico and Cuba, an exhausting but exhilarating visit where he met with fellow-octogenarian Fidel Castro and was treated to a raucous and warm welcome.
Although popes are allowed to resign, only a handful have done it – and none for a very long time.
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism, a dispute among competing papal claimants. The most famous resignation was Pope Celestine V in 1294; Dante placed him in hell for it.
There are good reasons why others haven't followed suit, primarily because of the fear of a schism with two living popes. Lombardi sought to rule out such a scenario, saying church law makes clear that a resigning pope no longer has the right to govern the church.
When Benedict was elected in 2005 at age 78, he was the oldest pope chosen in nearly 300 years.
The Vatican said after he resigns he will travel to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer retreat south of Rome, and then live in the monastery.
Whoever succeeds Benedict will face a church in turmoil: The child sex-abuse scandal has driven thousands of people away from the church, particularly in Europe. Rival churches, particularly evangelical Pentecostal groups in the developing world, pose new competition. And as the pope himself has long lamented, many people in an increasingly secular world simply believe they don't need God.
The timing of Benedict's announcement was significant: Lent begins this week on Ash Wednesday, the most solemn period on the church's calendar that culminates with Holy Week and Easter on March 31. It is also the period in which the world witnessed the final days of John Paul's papacy in 2005.
The timing means that there will be a spotlight cast on Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, the Italian head of the Vatican's culture office who has long been on the list of "papabile." Benedict selected him to preside over the Vatican's spiritual exercises during Lent.
And by Easter Sunday, the Catholic Church will almost certainly have a new leader, Lombardi said – a potent symbol of rebirth in the church on a day that celebrates the Resurrection of Christ.

Trees that Make You Sneeze
The Prairies
Those of us living on the continent's northern plains have willow, birch and poplars (cottonwood and aspen) to blame for the first bout of red eyes and respiratory distress. Pollination time on the Prairies is heavily influenced by the weather, and these trees typically bloom in late April or early May.
The paper birch is so ubiquitous, it's "almost synonymous with Canada," Guy says. Civic governments plant paper birch, ash and elm trees in many Prairie cities. Oak is found in forested areas. Poplar, a widespread tree on the plains, is one of the first to spread its pollen and seed.
Not as numerous but also allergy-causing to some is the Russian olive. "They're popular in the Prairies because there's not much you can grow there," Vancouverite Guy says with a chuckle.
Central-East Region
Allergy sufferers in Southern Ontario, Quebec, and the northeastern U.S. have a bevy of pollinating trees to avoid. Ottawa allergist Dr. Mortimer Katz says birch, elm, maple, oak and poplar are some of the worst offenders. More bad news: if you react to one of those trees, you're more likely to "cross-react" and develop symptoms to some of the others.
An area stretching up the northeastern U.S. into southern Ontario which includes Pittsburgh and Toronto is particularly bad, thanks to prolific grasses, trees and ragweed. Katz dubs the Ottawa Valley the "allergy capital of the world," adding that "almost everybody who comes to Ottawa says their allergies are worse here."
Trees can start causing trouble in central Canada as early as March and as late as May.

Limited Edition 5437
25/06/2003LIMITED EDITION OF 7 TIMEPIECES:MINUTE-REPEATER AND PERPETUAL CALENDARBreguet presents a limited series of seven minute-repeating perpetual-calendar wristwatches in platinum.The combination of two of horology's most demanding complications pays tribute to the company's founder A.-L. Breguet. Breguet's historical credentials give these contemporary watches their investment quality. The specially developed movement, hand-finished to perfection, demonstrates the company's inventive approach in a display of mechanical ingenuity."Time abhors what you do without it", says a Chinese proverb. These rare watches are made for those who instinctively seek exceptional pieces to keep in tune with time. Breguet enthusiasts will recognize the traditional Breguet styling exemplified by the delicate engine-turned patterns on the dial. Breguet owners have always enjoyed being part of the watchmaking history represented by their timepiece. "Wearing a Breguet is like having the mind of a genius in your pocket", observed Sir David Salomons, the great collector of Breguet watchmaking in the 1920s.

Covenant House Matters
Out there on the street, homeless youth have few choices: Hopelessness. Deprivation. Jail. Or, Covenant House. When everyone and everything else in their young lives fail them, we are there to save them from the streets—with unconditional love and a door that's open 24/7. Covenant House provides the food, shelter and care they desperately need right now, as well as the support and life skills they need to put their lives on the right track.
Some of the kids who come to us have run away from abusive or neglectful homes, some have been rejected by their families due to teenage pregnancy or revealing their sexual orientation, some have "aged out" of foster care, some have escaped the city's notorious sex trafficking trade, and others grew up in homeless or poverty-stricken families who couldn't afford to care for them once they turned 18. They all share one thing in common; they have turned to Covenant House for help.
Covenant House Georgia is one of the state's few shelters dedicated to serving homeless youth. Browse our website to get an in depth look at our operation and see how we help provide the kids in our care with something many of them have never had in their lives before... hope. But remember, we can't do it without you. We need your help, the youth on the streets of Atlanta need your help.
What's New
Join us for appetizers and bocce ball on Tuesday, February 17th to learn about how you can play a role in ending youth homelessness and human trafficking in Atlanta. Click here to learn more.

Spinal and epidural anesthesia are medicines that numb parts of your body to block pain. They are given through shots in or around the spine. You will stay awake during both of these types of anesthesia.
The area of your back where the needle is inserted is cleaned with a special solution. Most of the time this shot goes in your lower back. This area may also be numbed with a local anesthetic. You may receive fluids through an intravenous line (IV) in a vein. You may also get medicine to help you relax.
The doctor who gives you epidural or spinal anesthesia is called an anesthesiologist.
For an epidural :
For a spinal:
Your pulse, blood pressure and oxygen levels in your blood are checked during the procedure. After the procedure you will have a bandage where the needle was inserted.
Intraspinal anesthesia; Subarachnoid anesthesia; Epidural; Peridural anesthesia
Spinal and epidural anesthesia have fewer side effects and risks than general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free). Patients usually recover their senses much faster. Sometimes, they have to wait for the anesthetic to wear off so that they can walk.
Spinal anesthesia is often used for genital, urinary tract, or lower body procedures.
Epidural anesthesia is often used during labor and delivery, and surgery in the pelvis and legs.
Epidural and spinal anesthesia are often used when:
Spinal and epidural anesthesia are generally safe. Ask your doctor about these possible complications:
Tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before the procedure:
On the day of the procedure:
After an epidural, the catheter in your back is removed. You lie in bed until you have feeling in your legs and can walk. You may feel sick to your stomach and be dizzy. You may be tired.
After spinal anesthesia, you lie flat in bed for a few hours to keep from getting a headache. You may feel sick to your stomach and be dizzy. You may be tired.
Most patients feel no pain during spinal and epidural anesthesia and recover fully.
