Chronic cholecystitis - discharge; Dysfunctional gallbladder - discharge; Choledocholithiasis - discharge; Cholelithiasis - discharge
You have gallstones, hard, pebble-like deposits that formed inside your gallbladder. You may have had an infection in your gallbladder. You may have received drugs to reduce the swelling and fight the infection. You may have had surgery to remove your gallbladder or to remove a gallstone that is blocking a bile duct.
You may continue to have pain and other symptoms if your gallstones return.
You may be on a liquid diet for some time to give your gallbladder a rest. When you are eating regular food again, avoid overeating. If you are overweight try to lose weight.
Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain. Ask your doctor about stronger pain medicines. If your doctor prescribed drugs to help fight an infection, take them as your doctor told you to.
You may be able to take drugs that dissolve gallstones, but they may take 6 months to 2 years to work.

Macroglobulinemia of Waldenstrom is a cancer of the B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). It is associated with the overproduction of proteins called IgM antibodies .
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia; Macroglobulinemia - primary; Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is a result of a condition called lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. What causes too much production of the IgM antibody is unknown. Overproduction of IgM causes the blood to become too thick. This is called hyperviscosity. It can make it harder for blood to flow through small blood vessels.
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is very rare. Most people with this condition are over age 65, but it may occur in younger people.
Symptoms may include any of the following:
A physical examination may reveal a swollen spleen , liver, and lymph nodes. An eye exam may show enlarged veins in the retina or retinal bleeding (hemorrhages).
A CBC shows a low number of red blood cells and platelets. A blood chemistry shows evidence of kidney disease. A serum viscosity test can tell if the blood has become thick. Symptoms usually occur when the blood is four times thicker than normal.
A test called serum protein electrophoresis shows an increased level of the IgM antibody. Levels are often higher than 3 grams per deciliter (g/dL).
Bone lesions are very rare. If they are present, a bone marrow examination will show cells that resemble both lymphocytes and plasma cells.
Additional tests that may be done:
Plasmapheresis removes unwanted substances from the blood. In macroglobulinemia, it removes or reduces the high level of IgM, and is used to quickly control the symptoms caused by blood thickening.
Drug therapy may include corticosteroids or combinations of chemotherapy drugs.
Patients who have a low number of red or white blood cells or platelets may need transfusions or antibiotics.
The average survival is about 6.5 years. Some people live more than 10 years.
In some persons, the disorder may produce few symptoms and progress slowly.
Call your health care provider if symptoms of this disorder develop.

Background Cuba: The Land
Cuba is actually an archipelago with some 4,000-plus islands and cays dominated by the main island (104,945 square kilometers), which is 1,250 kilometers long—from Cabo de San Antonio in the west to Punta Maisí in the east—and between 31 and 193 kilometers wide. Plains cover almost two-thirds of the island. Indeed, Cuba is the least mountainous of the Greater Antilles, with a median elevation of less than 100 meters above sea level.
Slung beneath the mainland's underbelly is Isla de la Juventud (2,200 square kilometers), the westernmost of a chain of smaller islands—the Archipiélago de los Canarreos—which extends eastward for 110 kilometers across the Golfo de Batabanó. Farther east, beneath east-central Cuba, is a shoal group of tiny coral cays—the Archipiélago de los Jardines de la Reina—poking up a mere four or five meters from the sapphire sea. The central north coast is rimmed by a necklace of coral jewels limned by sand like crushed sugar shelving into bright turquoise shallows, with surf pounding on the reef edge.
Topography of Cuba
Cuban Highs
The fecund flatlands are disjoined by three mountain zones, where the air is cool and inviting and the roads dip and rise through very untropical-looking countryside. The westernmost mountains are the slender, low-slung Sierra del Rosario and Sierra de los Órganos, which together constitute the Cordillera de Guaniguanico, forming a backbone along the length of northern Pinar del Río Province. In their midst is the striking Valle de Viñales, a classic karst landscape of limestone formations called mogotes.
The Sierra Escambray rises steeply over west-central Cuba, dominating eastern Cienfuegos and southern Villa Clara Provinces. A third mountain zone, incorporating several adjacent ranges, overshadows the provinces of Granma, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo and spills over into Holguín Province. To the west, the precipitous Sierra Maestra rises steeply from the sea, culminating atop Pico Turquino (1,974 meters), Cuba's highest mountain. To the east are the Cuchillas de Toa, Sierra de Puriscal, and Sierra de Cristal.
Down by the Shore
Cuba has more than 400 beaches in shades of oyster white, chocolate brown, gold, and taupe. The most beautiful line the ocean side of the innumerable coral cays beaded like pearls off the north coast. Most beaches along the south coast can't compare; exceptions include Playa Ancón and Cayo Largo. The north coast is indented by huge, flask-shaped bays, not least Bahía de Habana, on whose western shores grew Havana.
Cuba has over 500 rivers, most of them short, shallow, and unnavigable. The principal river, the 370-kilometer-long Río Cauto, which originates in the Sierra Maestra and flows northwest, is navigable by boat for about 80 kilometers. Most rivers dwindle to trickles in the dry season, then swell to rushing torrents, flooding extensive areas on the plains when the rains come in summer. Cuba is studded with huge artificial reservoirs.
Cuba's Climate
Cuba lies within the tropics, though its climate—generally hot and moist—is more properly semi- or subtropical. There are only two seasons: wet (May to November) and dry (December to April), with regional variations.
The island is influenced by the warm Gulf Stream currents and by the North Atlantic high-pressure zone that lies northeast of Cuba and gives rise to the near-constant brisa, the local name for the trade winds that caress Cuba year-round. Indeed, despite its more southerly latitude, Havana, wrote Ernest Hemingway, "is cooler than most northern cities in those months [July and August], because the northern trades get up about ten o'clock in the morning and blow until about five o'clock the next morning." Summer months, however, can be insufferably hot and humid.
Cuba's mean annual temperature is 25.2°C, with an average of eight hours of sunshine per day throughout the year. There is little seasonal variation, with an average temperature in January of 22°C, rising (along with humidity) to an average of 27.2°C in July. Nonetheless, in summer the temperature can rise to 32°C or more, and far higher in the Oriente, especially the lowlands of Guantánamo Province (the hottest part of the country). The southern coast is generally hotter than the north coast, which receives the trades. Winds sometimes rip across the central plains in summer, drawn by the rise of hot air off the land.
Midwinter temperatures can fall below 10°C, when severe cold fronts sweep down into the Gulf of Mexico. Atop the higher mountains temperatures may plunge at night to 5°C.
Rain falls on Cuba an average of 85–100 days a year, totaling an annual average of 132 centimeters. Almost two-thirds falls during the May–October wet season, which can be astoundingly humid. Summer rain is most often a series of intermittent showers (or dramatic, short-lived deluges), but downpours and lingering storms are common. Years of relative drought are common.
Central and western regions experience a three- to five-month dry period known as La Seca. February through April and December are the driest months. Nonetheless, heavy winter downpours are associated with cold fronts sweeping south from North America.
The Atlantic coast tends to be slightly rainier than the southern coast. The mountains receive the highest rainfall, especially the uplands of eastern Oriente (up to 400 centimeters fall in the Cuchillas de Toa). The mountains produce regional microclimates, forming rain shadows along the southeast coast, so that pockets of cacti and parched scrub grow in the lee of thick-forested slopes.
Cuba lies within the hurricane belt. August through October is hurricane season, but freak tropical storms can hit Cuba in other months, too. Most hurricanes that strike Cuba originate in the western Caribbean during October and move north over the island. Cuba has been struck by several hurricanes in recent years. In fact, 2008 was one of the worst years in history, with three direct hits in two months: Gustav came ashore on August 30; Ike blasted the country September 7–9, and Paloma hit on November 8. Gustav and Ike displaced two million people and inflicted an estimated US$8 billion in damage (Cuba turned down the U.S.'s offer of US$6 million in rebuilding supplies).
The country has a highly developed disaster preparedness and exemplary civil defense network for evacuations.

Eve Ensler has helped women all over the world tell the stories of their lives through the stories of their bodies. Her play, "The Vagina Monologues," has become a global force in the face of violence against women and girls. But she herself also had a violent childhood. And it turns out that she herself was like so many of us western women, obsessed by our bodies and yet not inhabiting them — without even knowing we're not inhabiting them. Until she got cancer.

Thanks to Eve Ensler for sharing her experiences.. Jack really summed it up well on the previous comment. Live life in the moment.

I can understand some of what
I can understand some of what Eve Ensler says, but she loses me and this interview loses me in several places. It seemed like Krista was so "into" Eve's worldview that at times the two of them were throwing phrases at one another and saying, "Yeah, yeah!" approving of one another's sentiments without explicating the subject. To me it seemed to devolve here and there into a club with two members, and too bad if the listener doesn't know the secret codeword.
Also, Eve Ensler loses me when she starts projecting her own state of mind onto the whole world. There was a place where she's talking about humanity evolving or humanity allowing a second wind move through it, for example. No, sorry, Eve, that may be where you are at present, but don't confuse yourself with the entirety of humanity. Sort of like saying that someday cancer and trauma will be treated simultaneously. Ah, no, I don't buy that. Maybe *some* cancer instances have roots in trauma, but it seemed like she's claiming something all-encompassing about the relationship. That's almost as ridiculous as those people who claim that people who get cancer are repressed, that therefore it's their own fault. But then in general I think Eve is seeing causality and meaning in places where it doesn't belong. As far as I can tell a lot of life is random, and working it into this meaningful and personal centerpiece is ridiculous. The universe doesn't center on me, or you.
I just listened to Krista
I just listened to Krista Tippett's interview with Eve Ensler. The program is one of the best I've heard. Had not known about On Being. Just happened to be tuned to WWNO, our NPR station in New Orleans.

Transcendence comes from
Transcendence comes from being rooted. This idea from Eve reminded me of these words from Elery Akers and Rainer Rilke.
From Elery Akers, Advice from An Angel
I know it's in your nature to want air,
ozone. To float: to be free. But stick with what you know:
you'd be surprised at the effect of sheer blundering
and doggedness. To evaporate is nothing:
to sprint, to travel. It's weight
that divides the known and unknown worlds. It's your boots
that impress us, your squads of boulders,
From Rilke, Sunset
Slowly the west reaches for clothes of new colors
which it passes to a row of ancient trees.
You look, and soon these two worlds both leave you
one part climbs toward heaven, one sinks to earth,
leaving you, not really belonging to either,
not so hopelessly dark as that house that is silent,
not so unswervingly given to the eternal as that thing
that turns to a star each night and climbs—
leaving you (it is impossible to untangle the threads)
your own life, timid and standing high and growing,
so that, sometimes blocked in, sometimes reaching out,
one moment your life is a stone in you, and the next, a star.
A second Wind in life: Eve
A second Wind in life: Eve Ensler on inhabiting the Body After Cancer.
I found that Eve's story very real, and interesting. What I found interesting was how she actually talked about how her view's changed after she got cancer. Before cancer she was not a very happy person. While after/ dealing with cancer she found herself a much happier person. For me I think that there are so many things that we all take for granite. Until we are at the dark side realizing all the good things we have going.
In this on being by Eve Ensler talks about her believes, and how she felt about cancer. Eve states that all the years of neglecting her body/and the neglect her body took, could have been some of the cause of her getting cancer. I find her thinking of cancer so interesting. While many people don't really realize what emotion neglect can actually do to someone. Along with taking in; and listening to all these different woman's own personal stories, Eve believes that could have something to do with her cancer. I find this could easily happen. While we may not be able to prove that other people pain and suffering can take a toll on others is a very interesting topic i think should be looked at.
I think that there are many people who would agree with Eve that have had cancer would say that their lives, and the way they look at the world ;and the things around them in a different light. I have found that people tend to realize what they were missing in life when they are not happy.
Eve Ensler is an American
Eve Ensler is an American play writer, best known for her play The Vagina Monologues. Ensler is a feminism activist against the violence made toward little girls and women. She was herself abused during her childhood. In the broadcast she talked about her cancer with very uncommon angles.
First, she developed the idea that cancer can be a result of profound traumatisms. She mentions her own story. She was molested, and abused during her childhood and then she depicted also how she absorbed the pain of the abused woman during her writing investigation. Furthermore, she related the example a rape center where three staff members in charge of collecting the traumatic stories developed cancers as well. She emphasized on the fact that today society is disconnected. She thinks that people consider that their feeling and body are not related. She pointed out the story when a Tibetan monk was hilarious when scientist was putting electrode on his head to study his mind because the mind for him was coming from the heart as well. I do think that her thought is rational. I do myself easily suffer from stressful situations due to my hyper sensibility[mm1] . I got torticollis and migraine. My feeling, my mind really hurt my body in those cases. So traumas can maybe engender cancer, some study have yo be made to at least refute this idea.
Secondly. She explained that her cancer has transformed her. Before cancer, her body was disconnected. When she woke up after a surgery, she washed the beauties of a three and felt that for the first time that she was inhabiting her body. She felt her humanness and she knew who she was. Her cancer made her aware that fulfillment his a choice. She also explained that the capitalize system made us unhappy, disconnected to her present because we are always waiting for the 'next new big things'. She concluded that cancer was her turbulent opportunities to who she was supposed to be. I personally really like the way how she positively receive her cancer has an opportunity. This idea probably helped her a lot to get through all of the chemo. I do agree with her that being happy and fulfill is a choice that you make. It is in your mind that it is all begin.
This is a wonderful brief
This is a wonderful brief video relating to cancer as a turning point.
Gary Malkin, one of the creators of the "Graceful Passages" CD, was a speaker at the 2008 "Cancer as a Turning Point, From Surviving to Thriving" free conference in Sacramento.
"'True healing is focused action and intention [which is everything we do to heal ourselves overtly]
wrapped in the arms of surrender'"
quoting Dr. Jeremy, oncologist.
"Music as a tool for the integration of heart and spirit and mind"
He cites research that shows The 1st human sense to come in, at 24 weeks, is hearing. It's the last one to go before we die.
Would be a wonderful guest to interview! And to get out the word about Graceful Passages, it's well known in some circles but so worth sharing to the On Being Audience. Not just for those who are dying and their families, but for any major life change or transition.
"Created by the cofounders of the Companion Arts Foundation, Graceful Passages addresses themes of letting go, closure, expressing love, forgiveness, appreciation of life, and continuity of spirit from different perspectives and faith traditions. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish clergy are represented as well as Native American, Confucian, and Buddhist voices, creating a truly multifaith resource. A compelling musical score, created by a pioneering healing music artist and award-winning composer, lovely still-life photographs, and elegant design create a gentle invitation for the reader and listener to reflect upon what matters most in life."

An Art Happening
Today at 11:00 am, the doors of 2013 Art Basel in Miami Beach officially open, however, before the latest works from the world's best artists could be revealed, a select group of VIPs gathered in the centrally located Collins Park for a welcome cocktail the evening before.
Mingling among a collection of sculptures, some of which included live models, the guests caught up on the latest art-world trends and what to look for in the coming week. As they plotted how to navigate the fair, mixologist Andres Leon prepared Absolut cocktails that could also only be described as artful. The fan favorite, Absolut Appearance, mixed the sweetness of pineapple with the bite of star anise, and a hint of green tea.
A perfect beginning to an exciting week, with many more moment to celebrate in the coming days.

Art Garfunkel Walks Off During Performance
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Former Simon & Garfunkel star Art Garfunkel performed an intimate acoustic set earlier this month at the Great Neck Arts Center on Long Island on June 7th. Unfortunately for Garfunkel, the show did not go off with out a hitch. Page Six reports that a woman had to be taken out on a stretcher due to excitement during the show which was billed as An Intimate Rehearsal.
That wasn't the only drama as North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jon Kalman sat in the front row during the show and when his cellphone started buzzing, Garfunkel walked off the stage. A witness explained, "Art stormed off stage, only to return 10 minutes later to finish his set when Jon apologized."
A rep from Kalman told the paper, "Art Garfunkel was brilliant and gracious, and his music sounds better without a buzzing cellphone."

The psychological and emotional attachment this game creates is like nothing experienced before. A true survival horror that sucks you in from the very start. Amazing graphics, great gameplay and a phenomenal experience. Can not wait to see what Naughty Dog create for next gen, if it's anything like this we have a lot to look forward to.

Others may feel more was in there.THE BAD POINTS GUYSYOU WILL NOT WANT TO SELL YOUR GAME AFTERWARDS. YOU WILL JUST WANT TO KEEP IT FOREVER AND IN YOUR HEART.i felt like buying a special edition or limited edition. but out of stock everywhere.i hope for any gamer and hardcore alike to not to miss this amazing game because this is literally the pinnacle of gaming of the ps3 era. dont let it go. Thanks Creators of Uncharted for trying something new and ambitious. NAUGHTY DOG are awesome. And thank God this whole game turned out the way it did.Just last thing.. The only other game to give me the feelings after playing this game, was final fantasy 7.
3 Uncharted 4, with great graphics and "good" story....Sungod | 12/06/2013 | See all Sungod's reviews (6)Got it early as pre-ordered, title says it all, played about 2 hours did not grab me...
5 TRULY ASTOUNDINGAdam515 | 17/06/2013 | See all Adam515's reviews (1)It's difficult to summarise how this game made me feel in only one review. There were happy times, sad times and scary times.Throughout the game you'll find yourself on an emotional roller coaster -I was even slightly in tears at one point as there are so many twists and turns it's impossible to tell what's coming next and the storyline is so well written that you develop an amazing attachment to the characters.Along this huge and epic adventure you'll be crafting and upgrading weapons, gathering supplies for survival and meeting some nice, and some not so nice characters along the way -as well as all the infected. What's great about them though is that they're not poorly placed, they'll only turn up in the darkest corners of the environment, and when you're alone with them their AI and terrifying sounds really keep you on the edge of your seat, not to mention your own gruesome death you get to witness if caught by them.I've got so much more to say, but don't think I can put how happy I am with this game into words- truly awe-inspiring, most films don't have storylines and characters as well-designed as this.As with the Uncharted series, once again Naughty Dog has given us pure genius.
5 Unforgetable.beaker79 | 13/06/2013 | See all beaker79's reviews (1)I received my copy early and i can only say that so far i have been nothing but impressed with this game. The graphics are fantastic and the gameplay superb. While i admit it may not be for everyone, and some people may find the level of violence a little tough to stomach, i highly recommend this.This is not the type of game you can just run through 'popping caps' in people, it encourages you to avoid confrontation whenever possible and the tension created in these situations is on another level.All in all i recommend this for anyone looking for a great story, great gameplay and something a little different. If your still on the fence then hey, a game that recieved twenty seven 10/10 ratings is surely worth a chance (ratings sourced from metacritic)

Detecting Flashback Trojan Malware On Your Mac Computer
Last Updated: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 > Related Articles
Steps to detect whether malware Flashback Trojan has infected your Apple Mac computer.
The malware virus Flashback Trojan can steal personal information. Learn how to detect if your Mac is infected.
Visit this site for details on detecting this virus
How it attacks
Flashback Trojan masquerades as an Adobe Flash Player plug-in installer but has grown to also take advantage of Java.
How it infects the Mac
Visiting a website containing Flashback on an Apple OS X system with Java installed can result in the malware infecting your computer in two ways:
- The malware will request an administrator password so do not provide one. If you do, the malware will install a package of code in the Applications folder on your Mac.
- If you do not provide the password, the malware can still install in user accounts. Once installed, the Flashback will inject code into Web browsers and other applications, like Skype, to steal passwords and other information from those programs.

Beach Harper Dining Chairs, Set of 2
Love my chairs
I'm thrilled with my chairs. They look beautiful and are very comfortable. The color is fabulous!!....more taupe than beige......and the legs even come with small floor protectors already in place. My husband had no problem with the limited assembly. My only complaint..........the material has a bit "sloppy" trim around legs, but this is under the chairs and a little "fray check" secured it.
September 26, 2013
Great style and quality for the price
I was looking for a parson's style chair with a little something extra. The rolled back on this one, with tufting was perfect. Sturdy fabric and the color is perfect for my newly redecorated dining room.
September 16, 2013
Great Looking
I love the style and look of these chairs. They are a good proportion relative to our dining table. The color isn't as cream/beige as it looks online. They are more of a grey color. But they are a good price, and they look really nice...
September 6, 2013
Such a disappointment
I fell in love with the floor sample of this chair. It seemed to be good quality and was just what I was looking for, so I bought it and 4 more from the back. 3/5 chairs had something wrong with them. Two had a leg that was too short so the chair wobbled, one had broken wood around the screws. We had to return them because of the poor quality. I had purchased dining chairs from Cost Plus in the past and been very pleased. Seems their quality/standards have gone way down. I wont be returning.

The most common asked question of today is how to embed the Soundcloud in Word press that is rising all over. Therefore for this very concern embed application is available in WordPress that helps in auto embedding features and the only thing required to do is to put in the URL in its line. Embed library has the entangling services for YouTube, Twitter and other social platforms. Try also to buy some Soundcloud followers here. But it must be kept clear that Soundcloud has no support by Word press and embedding of it can give you way to enjoy the features of it. You need to use wp_oembed_add_provider () function for it.
Here's a service that will embed your music to various blogs and you can buy Soundcloud followers & soundcloud plays within Soundcloud promotion that distributes your music around the web.
Further tutorial is not needed to make you learn to how to do it as Word press 3.5+ has built in oEmbed to help you. The only thing needed is to put in the specific code in PHP file or site specific plug-in. Continue reading

Yields: 12 servings (cost per serving of $0.79)
Total Time: 45 min
Prep Time: 20 min
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 12 ounce(s) (fresh or frozen and thawed) pitted cherries, halved
- 1/4 cup(s) sugar
- 2 cup(s) very cold heavy cream
- 1 can(s) (14-ounce) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- 4 ounce(s) (about 1 cup) bittersweet chocolate chunks
- Ice cream cones, for serving
- Place the cherries, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the cherries break down and the liquid turns to a thick syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl on medium-high until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Spoon half the cream mixture into a 4 1/2- by 8 1/2-inch loaf pan or 1 1/2-quart freezer-safe container. Spoon half the cherry mixture on top. Using a knife, swirl the cherry mixture through the cream. Repeat with the remaining cream and cherry mixture. Freeze until set, at least 4 hours. Once set, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
Tips & Techniques
Easy Upgrade: Make store-bought cones special by dipping the outside in melted chocolate. Let dry for 20 seconds before coating in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut.
Zesty Coconut: Fold in 1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes) and 1/2 cup toasted coconut. Spoon into the loaf pan and top with 1/2 cup toasted coconut. Freeze as directed.
Nuts About Bananas: Fold in 1 large banana (diced) and 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts (roughly chopped). Spoon into the loaf pan and drizzle with 3 tablespoons caramel sauce. Freeze as directed.
Peach Pie: Fold in 4 graham crackers (roughly chopped; 1 heaping cup) and 1/2 cup peach preserves. Spoon into the loaf pan and freeze as directed.
Chocolate Peppermint: Fold in 12 small chocolate peppermint candies, chopped (such as Peppermint Patties) and 1/4 cup chocolate sauce. Spoon into the loaf pan and freeze as directed.

A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
The term "seizure" is often used interchangeably with "convulsion." Convulsions occur when a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. During convulsions, the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly. There are many different types of seizures. Some have mild symptoms without shaking.
Secondary seizures; Reactive seizures; Seizure - secondary; Seizure - reactive; Convulsions
It may be hard to tell if someone is having a seizure. Some seizures only cause a person to have staring spells. These may go unnoticed.
Specific symptoms depend on what part of the brain is involved. Symptoms occur suddenly and may include:
Symptoms may stop after a few seconds or minutes, or continue for up to 15 minutes. They rarely continue longer.
The person may have warning symptoms before the attack, such as:
Seizures of all types are caused by disorganized and sudden electrical activity in the brain.
Causes of seizures can include:
Sometimes no cause can be found. This is called idiopathic seizures. They are usually seen in children and young adults, but can occur at any age. There may be a family history of epilepsy or seizures.
If seizures continue repeatedly after the underlying problem is treated, the condition is called epilepsy .
Most seizures stop by themselves. But during a seizure, the person can be hurt or injured.
When a seizure occurs, the main goal is to protect the person from injury:
Things friends and family members should not do:
If a baby or child has a seizure during a high fever, cool the child slowly with lukewarm water. Do not place the child in a cold bath. You can give the child acetaminophen (Tylenol) once he or she is awake, especially if the child has had fever convulsions before.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if:
Report all seizures to the person's health care provider. The doctor may need to adjust or change the person's medications.
A person who has had a new or severe seizure is usually seen in a hospital emergency room. The health care provider will try to diagnose the type of seizure based on the symptoms.
Tests will be done to rule out other medical conditions that cause seizures or similar symptoms. This may include fainting, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke , panic attacks , migraine headaches , sleep disturbances, among others.
Tests that may be ordered include:
Further testing is needed if you have:

I The College News VOL. XXI, No. 14 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1935 t'opyrlRlit BUVX MAWR COLLEQK NEWS, 1916 PRICE 10 CENTS \ Mrs. Piccard Relates Story of Air Flight 'B. M. Alumna Accompanies Husband In Investigation Of Cosmic Rays STRATOSPHERE REACHED Goodhart, Feb. 25.�Mrs. Jean Pic- card, Bryn Mawr alumna, and wife of the famous stratosphere flier, Dr. Jean Piccard, lectured simply and en- thusiastically on her husband's work and on the epochal flight which they made together as co-workers in 1934. She has ascended higher into the air than any other woman and has gath- ered important data on the nature of the cosmic ray, which she and Dr. Piccard hope to be able to harness for practical use, even though precisely what it is cannot be determined any more than the precise nature of elec- tricity. Although her husband was born in Switzerland, ami taught and studied on the Continent long before he came to the United States as an assistant professor at thte University of Chi- cago, Mrs. Piccard is an American both by birth and training. She took her degree at Bryn Mawr College, while President Thomas was still in office, and she remembers as a symbol of the spirit possessed both by the col- lege and Miss Thomas, a time when the president, walking by her, said, "I do not walk so fast as you who are young; do you go on ahead." That was what Miss Thomas always de- sired, that others should go on ahead even where she could not; and this is the goal towards which Bryn Mawr has aimed, that it should enable others to go on. In arts and literature, the purpose has been accomplished, but not yet in the field of science. After her graduation here, Mrs.\ Piccard studied chemistry at the Uni- versity of Chicago, where she met Dr. Piccard. Upon her marriage with him, his scientific life became hers un- til on his greatest experiment and flight she could act as pilot, first mate, and crew for him. To make the construction of the stratosphere balloon more clear and logical to the audience, Mrs. Piccard first showed on the screen pictures of Continued on Page Five News Try Outs The College New* announced the beginning of its regular spring tryouts for Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors who wish to compete for positions on the Editorial Board. There are five or six regular positions open and there is especial need for a music critic, and for a Sports Editor. Anyone inter- ested should come to the Netve office in Goodhart at 6.00 P. M. on Thursday, February 28. Women Write Novels With Natural Talent Sheila Kaye-Smith Says Women Are Receptive Rather Than Creative NOVEL HAS FOUND PEAK Day Letter Received On 1932 Big May Day (The following is a day letter re- ceived Saturday, February 23): Editor of College Newt - I am sailing within ..our for some months abroad or would' write to you, but I have just heard from alumnae in New York that May Day, the most beautiful pageant in America, is not being given this spring because, in the opinion of Mrs. Manning, as print- ed in the College News, there is no director sufficiently experienced at hand to organize it and this when you have in Mrs. Chadwick-Collins the greatest director of any May Day This is always a tremendous under- taking because there is l:ttle money and you cannot have any deficit and because there is not unlimited time for rehearsals and yet every detail is judged by critics of pageantry which has reached such a state of perfec- tion as if you had all the time and money needed. Every May Day has its own difficulties and at one time in 11)20 these seemed to me unsurmount- able, but you always 1"" through them and if in 1932 there was confusion it can be understood with an extra Shakespearean play and no Miss Ap- \ plebee for the green and so a new di- rector of the green to be trained. And oven the green in 1932 was unsur- passed and with the financial situation as it was and to have no deficit in 1932 was a triumph of organization. Mrs. Collins took all that went before and added her own in the perfect co- ordination of every detail so that all who know acknowledge she produced the perfect May Day and all future ones can only aim to equal that of 1932. �� Maud Skinnkr. (Mrs. Otis SkinneK ) Goodhart, Feb. 21. � "Women are naturally associated with art, yet man has been the leader and often the sole performer in art through the ages," said Miss Sheila Kaye-Smith, who -spoke here recently on Pioneer Wom- en Novelists. Why is it that women have not kept up with men in this field? It is not the fault of men that they have achieved more than women. Perhaps the best answer is that wom- en are more realistic than men, and are receptive rather than creative. Novel writing came closest to their particular talents and inclinations and women have been leaders in this field from the very beginning. They have brought new blood and fresh ideas into novel writing and have done just as *ood work as any of the men. The first novel was written by Sam- uel Richardson. Fiction had been written before, but there was no at- tempt made in such stories to show character or analyze emotions. Pamela was the first appearance of a form of fiction which was something more than a pure adventure story. It is a kind of collection of letters, which are suffi- ciently connected to show the develop- ment of character and plot. The book was meant to be an example of the art of letter writing, but Richardson decided to improve the minds of his readers as well as their epistolatory style. The theme of the story is one that is bound to meet the approval of all women readers. If only a woman is clever enough she can have a man on her own terms, instead of his. Ilichardson's readers were carried away with the book. They said it was the morality of it that pleased them, but the real reason is some- thing far more subtle. It is his sym- pathetic treatment of womfli that won him so many admirers, and it is not surprising to find that most of them were of the fair sex. Women began to imitate Richard- son's style. Not many of them came anywhere near him in excellence, hut some very good work was done. Only one American woman, Charlotte Ram- sey Lenox, began to use this type of fiction writing. She went to England as a girl of fifteen and married then- very unhappily. She earned her liv- ing by translating and by writing nov- els. The Female Quixote is her only remembered book. She was quite well known in her time and was feted by Dr. Johnson on one occasion. From 1750-1800 there was a flood of novels Continued on Page Hour Greek Play Chorus Announced It has been definitely decided that the Racchai of Euripides will be put on at Commencement time for the' benefit of the Million Dollar Fund.

Amusing Plot, Clever Dancing, Good Set Contribute to Success of Freshman Show In Spite of Lack of Unity, Slow Tempo, and Slight Plot, Spirited Acting, and Finished Dancing Are Acclaimed in National Recovery Act ACTING INDICATES SMOOTHNESS AND CONFIDENCE An amusingly fantastic plot, effect ive sets and clever dancing made The National Recovery Act set a new high in Freshman Shows. The degree of confidence and smoothness shown by the actors was quite remarkable for the type of entertainment. Although the plot was slight and the dialogue dragged at times, most of the show was amusing and quite well-done. Huldah Cheek, who wrote, directed acted and sang in it, is highly to be congratulated. National Recovery Act is the Btorj of the women from the Peola June tion Old Ladies' Home who, acquiring by force the necessary money from the Junior League, go to Florida in search of Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth. There they find not only the fountain but Ponce himself, a most charming gentleman. Having been served the elixir of youth in Dixie cups, they divest themselves of gray hair, rheumatism, and squeak) voices to become young again. Aftei two years, Lucy Snodgrass .. nd Mamit Botts, the two rivals of the Old La dies' Home, have become Elaine Love- lace and Prudence Hopewell, respect ively, and are both campaigning furi- ously for the presidency of the United States. Elaine wins, and makes Prn the commander of the Army aud Navy. Both of them compete foi Ponce's affections, only to have hi in won at last by the head of the Junioi League. All of Which would tend In prove that it's the perennially young what gits the White House, but the League what gits its man. The plot, though amusing, was not sufficiently unified; the rivalry for Goodhart Hall, Feb. 20.�The Pro Ponce seemed too often to be dragged Works by Americans End Pro Arte Series Grunberg, Piston, and Smith Rendered in Well Balanced Performance TECHNIQUE FAULTLESS Arte Quartet brought its scries of chamber music to a conclusion with a program -composed entirely of music by American composers, including in by main force, instead of developing early and building up. The dialogue was, on the whole, very clever, and tin individual speeches were amusing. Yei works by David Stanley Smith, Wal- several times, as in the first scene. tor Piston, and Louis Grunberg. This'and, again, in Elaine Lovelace's lines series has been presented every Wed- ] in the campaign scene, the tempo war nesday and Sunday for a month ; too slow, and the lines stood out a> through the generosity of Mrs. Eliza-j separate entities, rather than as foun beth Sprague Coolidge, who is one of dations to any central point. In the the greatest patronesses of music in j first scene, the actors seemed to be re America. Throughout the series the,citing pieces rather than talking to Quartet has met with increasing en-!one another. This may have been part- thusiasm and approval from the audi- ly caused by the fact that the dia ences, which have increased as the logue was in verse: rhyming lines an the scene in the office in the White House, where she sat surrounded by militant secretaries, and her entrance in the Gardens in the last act, as a red-coated grenadier invading a scene of frivolity, was very amusing. Grace Fales played the part of Lucy Snodgrass and Elaine Lovelace with much enthusiasm, but in neither case did she do justice to her role. As I'iucy, she was too extravagantly ami artificially coy; as Elaine, she made the lady far too much of a caricature, and her gestures were forced. Falvia Pittroff made an attractive Ponce, but her role was not empha- sized enough to g^ve her an oppor- tunity for a great deal of acting. Rob- bie Hoxton's portrayal of Dr. Bush- man was hilariously amusing. Her staggering entrance in the first scene of the second act, carrying her port- able laboratory, and her tentative love* scene with Mrs. Whistlebury, stand out as two of the funniest moments of the show. Mary Walker and Mary Whalen, as two Junior Leaguers, play- ed their parts with much ease and naturalness. Mary de Wolf, clad in a negligee, pink bed-socks, and a lisp, made the most of a small part. And may we congratulate Ellen Newton, as a guide, for her nonchalance in prop- ping up a wayward palm tree in the second set?�she almost convinced us that that is one of the usual duties of a Florida guide. The settings, designed by Alice Shurcliff, were excellent down to smallest details. That for the first scene�the Old Ladies' Home�with its "God Bless Our Home" sign, its wheel-chair, and dull gray background was particularly good. That for the White House gardens was artistic and glamorous. The lighting was quite adequate; it was very good in the Florida set, and effective in the Blue Rhapsody dance.

The Quartet, composed of Alphonse Onnou, first violin, Laurent Halleux, second violin, Germain Prevost, viola, and Robert Maas, violincello, is re- markable not only foi; the individual talent of its members, but also for their fine interpretation and the ex- quisite finish of their work as a whole which can come only from long years of musical association. They are known particularly as exponents of the modern composers of all nationali- ties, and have earned from their su- perb renderings of recent works the gratitude of all who are interested in the future of music. Their playing of the works of all periods of cham- ber music has been almost faultless throughout the series. This last program was the first not to contain at least one work of the better known older composers, and probably for that reason was the most interesting as well.as the most fitting concluding program for the artists to have performed. The difficult techni- cal problems of these new, and in, the case of Grunberg revolutionary com- posers, were overcome with perfect ease while the spirit of their works was excellently" maintained. The Pro Arte group seems to have a very strong feeling for the work of the moderns and for this reason is an almost unsurpassed performer of their works in the quartet form.

It is well known that the common law of England was based on custo- mary usages, welddd together and de- veloped by the practice of the King's courts. Professor Neilson had de- lighted in the study of customs which �scaped this unifying process and which remained as primitive islands in the enveloping sea of common law. She has also discussed the usages of the King's courts in learned studies of huge court rolls and selective "Year Books." Recently she has turned her atten- tion to mediaeval forests in England, mapping their boundaries and eluci- dating the mode of life which was characteristic of them. The topic is of general interest because of the body of forest laws that ,dexeJoped from the King's unlimited use and control over certain forest areas in England. The forest laws deal with the contro- versies between the peasants and the nobles over the disputed boundary lines and over hunting privileges. Dr. Neilson's lecture at Bryn Mawr will be on Mediaeval Forests in Eng- la ml. and the colltge will thereby en- joy her account of the forests before anyone reads it in print.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am getting conflicting stories on the effects of aloe to
treat breast cancer radiation irritation. Several people tell me it is
beneficial but my Radiation Oncologist prefers the use of only small
amounts of talc powder. What is your opinion? Thank you for your
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Skin reactions can occur during radiation treatment for breast cancer. These are generally not serious, and tend to resolve within 1 or 2 weeks after treatment. Many topical skin agents have been used to give symptomatic relief. No topical agent has been shown to be more beneficial than any other agent. Many patients like an aloe-based compound, because it is soothing to the skin. Some rare patients may experience an allergic reaction to aloe products that includes itching and swelling and the product should be discontinued. Individual patients should discuss their skin care with their individual physicians, because no single answer is right for every patient.
Jan 31, 2012 - Interventions such as telephone counseling can help women with early-stage breast cancer adjust to emotional distress stemming from the side effects of treatment, according to a study published in the February issue of Applied Nursing Research.

Paleness is an abnormal loss of color from normal skin or mucous membranes .
Skin - pale or gray; Pallor
Unless pale skin is accompanied by pale lips, tongue, palms of the hands, inside of the mouth, and lining of the eyes, it is probably not a serious condition, and does not require treatment.
General paleness affects the entire body. It is most easily seen on the face, lining of the eyes, inner mouth, and nails. Local paleness usually affects a single limb.
How easily paleness is diagnosed varies with skin color, and the thickness and amount of blood vessels in the tissue under the skin. Sometimes it is only a lightening of skin color. Paleness may be difficult to detect in a dark-skinned person -- and is detected only in the eye and mouth lining.
Paleness may be the result of decreased blood supply to the skin. It can also be due to decreased number of red blood cells (anemia). Paleness of the skin is not the same as loss of pigment from the skin. Paleness is related to blood flow in the skin rather than deposit of melanin in the skin.
Paleness can be caused by:
Call your health care provider or emergency number if a person suddenly develops generalized paleness. Emergency action may be needed to maintain proper blood circulation.
Also call your health care provider if paleness is accompanied by shortness of breath, blood in the stool, or other unexplained symptoms.
The health care provider will examine you and ask about your medical history and symptoms, including:

Greeney touched on the important things. Christ, the Son of God died on the cross as the ultimate sacrificial offering on our behalf; and if we but have faith and trust in Him, we will be with Him in the afterlife. We are commanded to love God and love one another. ALL the rest of it, much of which you consider to be of primary importance, is secondary.
Predestination is, and always has been, a matter of serious debate within the Church. Same thing with the doctrine of Election, the Protestant doctrine of Faith alone which includes the importance of works and sacraments, the doctrine of Irresistable Grace, the doctrine of Original Sin, and on and on.
Once the Word was translated into a multitude of languages, which happened as a result of the Protestant Reformation, Hebrew and Greek meanings had to be extrapolated using the languages being translated into. And we have seen that depending on the mindset of the translators, words were translated this way or that way.
In the end, God doesn't care one way or the other if we believe in predestination, election, or any other secondary doctrine. We come up with our secondary doctrines because we are trying to understand all of it; because we care about it and are very interested in it. But it has no bearing on our salvation.
To me, the Reformed Christian Theology makes the most sense and much of that has to do with my personal experiences. But I could be mistaken and that's fine.

Journal Entry: September 10th, 1937
It was my pleasure that in the great year of nineteen and twenty three that I would have the opportunity of a life time to make a journey to a location that I had oft dreamt about in my earlier years. Though most would see a journey to Africa as a pleasure held only by eccentric old men longing for the thrill of the big hunt. But such concepts as the whole slaughter of lesser species as a simple and very base pleasure for a man to hold. No, my reasons were more existential, more childish, more meaningful.
Since a young age, I was always fascinated by fantastic faerie tales. Listening to my grandmother tell stories of mystical hills in the old country that would swallow small children whole; elves coming from the woods and snatching the breath of kids who wouldn't go to bed before sunset; tales of adolescents growing into hideous monsters due to certain misbehavior's.
Once I had learned enough to read stories on my own, I would often find myself in libraries, pouring over collections of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Aesop's Fables. As i grew older and my tastes became more refined, I began studying the myths of ancient Egypt and Greece. Pantheons of gods ruling over man, making decisions and controlling the world with simple whims, creating and taking life with callous abandon. Fantastic concepts which seemed to reflect on ancient truths that governed and still in more subtle ways govern our lives to this day.
Alas, such pleasures must have a limit, and soon I had exhausted these resources of ethereal delights, and my hunger for more imaginative stores began to grow again. As it came time to make the decision as to what I would do with my life, I chose to make an anthropologist of myself, hoping that I would learn of near lost tales of ancient civilizations that may have existed at one time. Consistent themes across cultures such as ascensions from the heavens, and tales of a deluge permeating multiple cultures across multiple continents had come to lead me to believe that there might be a hidden truth behind such stories.
I began to believe that there may be truths to the myths of long lost Atlantis, near forgot Lemuria; and Suthkalir, buried in the dust of its people who had destroyed themselves in their own blood lust. When opportunities arose to travel and investigate this belief, I always lept at the opportunity.
Fortunately such an chance arose when the most prestigious Miskitonic University decided to launch an expedition to northern Africa after reports came in of a nomadic people happening upon what appeared to be foundations of an ancient city uncovered in the desert after a particularly intense storm season. When gathering a team for the journey, a professor tossed my name into a hat, and through happenstance, I was chosen, and found myself travelling across the desert on horseback while attempting to keep a log of my journey while expanding my own understanding of this very ancient land.
It was about three days of land travel before we met up with the nomadic tribe who had told the tale of locating the ruins, and about another day of travelling with them, before we came to the site. The nomads refused to go within about fifty yards of the edge of ancient foundations, claiming fear of upsetting the spirits of their elders, and so we made camp at a distance.
In the darkness of he uncivilized continents night, we sat gathered around the dusty orange light of a campfire, each of us sharing our thoughts and beliefs on the matter we were to approach in the light of the following morning. We shared tales of previous expeditions that we had participated in and compared our fields of study in a grandiose display of shadow-boxing.
Into this gathering of higher learning lit by dim orange flames hobbled the elder shaman of the nomadic tribe that had lead us to our discovery, his intent was to bridge to gap between his people who had camped further out near an oasis, and our people; a sort of peace keeper I would suppose.
He explained to us in a very broken English supplemented by the less broken English of our translator that it was tradition amongst the tribes of northern Africa to share tales with each other when they meet by chance in their wanderings. This was how it was, and how it had always been for many cycles before, and many of the tales had claims to being thousands of cycles old, possibly going back to the beginning of time.
The opportunity fueled my curiosity greatly and I jumped immediately at the chance to possibly be the first American to record such an ancient tale and bring it back and present it along with my other findings. Thus, when my time of sharing came, I reached into my trusty old cracked leather satchel which contained all my tools and recording equipment and pulled out a well used cloth bound diary in which I recorded all my favorite tales which I ha collected on my travels. Flipping through, I found a tale I felt would be appropriate for the evening since I had come to believe it had its origins in this very location. Pouring a cold drink and taking a long cool drag, I settled in and began to read the tale word for word for my unique audience and my unique location.

It is alarming that the political differences between the two parties are spreading hostility and hatred among people. If it is not stopped now, the time is not far away when all the potential of the country will be ruined. Taking advantage of the ongoing political crisis, some vested quarters are out to destroy our economy. For instance, the garment industry, our main foreign exchange earner, is now moving towards a total collapse. Before it's too late, our political leaders should put a brake on their unkind actions through holding talks and increasing respect for one another.
