Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but usually closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
A foramen ovale allows blood to go around the lungs. A baby's lungs are not used when it grows in the womb, so the hole does not cause problems in an unborn infant.
The opening is supposed to close soon after birth, but sometimes it does not. In about 1 out of 4 people, the opening never closes. If it does not close, it is called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
The cause of a PFO is unknown. There are no known risk factors.
Infants with a patent foramen ovale and no other heart defects do not have symptoms.
An echocardiogram can be done to diagnose a PFO. If the PFO is not easily seen, a cardiologist can perform a "bubble test." Saline solution (salt water) is injected into the body as the cardiologist watches the heart on an ultrasound (echocardiogram) monitor. If a PFO exists, tiny air bubbles will be seen moving from the right to left side of the heart.
This condition is not treated unless there are other heart problems, or the person had a stroke caused by a blood clot to the brain.
Treatment usually requires a procedure called cardiac cathertization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
An infant who has no other heart defects will have normal health.
Unless there are other defects, there are usually no complications from a PFO.
Very rarely, people with PFOs may have a higher rate of a certain type of stroke (called paradoxical thromboembolic stroke). In a paradoxical stroke, a blood clot that develops in a vein (often leg veins) breaks free and travels to the right side of the heart. Normally, this clot would then continue to the lungs, but in someone with a PFO, the clot could pass through the hole to the left side of the heart. It may then be pumped out to the body, travel to the brain and become stuck there, preventing blood flow to that part of the brain (stroke).
Some patients may take medication to prevent blood clots.
Call your health care provider if your baby turns blue when crying or having a bowel movement. Usually, this disorder is only discovered when a cardiologist performs an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) for an unrelated heart murmur.

Jacqueline Kennedy Collection
Pearl Earrings Black or White
The glittering design of the Floral Drop-Leaf Dual Earrings is rich with history. The very first anniversary gift to Jackie from then-Senator JFK in 1954, these earrings were given to Jackie the night before their anniversary date. This was in keeping with what would become a life-long custom of giving gifts the day before a holiday. As they had many friends and a large family, the two exchanged gifts in a more private setting the night before anyone else would give them gifts.
Worn throughout her entire life, the original set was made at Tiffany's New York with the black precious pearls as one unit. Jackie felt the black pearl was too limiting, so a year later she asked them to make them interchangeable and add the white pearl. Often Jackie would wear the studs with no pearl at all. In 1986, Caroline wore the white pearls at her wedding to Edwin Schlossberg. She still has the set, and wears these earrings on very special occasions.
Original: 18k gold, diamonds, Tahitian black pearls, faux glass white pearls.
Replica: 24k gold plate, 36 cubic zirconias, faux pearls.
Replica by Camrose & Kross.

The adenoids are lymph tissue that sit in your upper airway between your nose and the back of your throat. They are similar to the tonsils.
Enlarged adenoids means this tissue is swollen.
Adenoids - enlarged
Enlarged adenoids may be normal. They may grow bigger when the baby grows in the womb. The adenoids help the body prevent or fight infections by removing bacteria and germs.
Infections can cause the adenoids to become swollen. The adenoids may stay enlarged even when you are not sick.
Children with enlarged adenoids often breathe through their mouth because their nose is blocked. Mouth breathing occurs mostly at night, but may be present during the day.
Mouth breathing may lead to the following symptoms:
Enlarged adenoids may also cause sleep problems. A child may:
Children with enlarged adenoids may also have more frequent ear infections.
The adenoids cannot be seen by looking in the mouth directly. The health care provider can see them by using a special mirror in the mouth your mouth or by inserting a flexible tube (called an endoscope) placed through the nose.
Tests may include:
Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older.
The health care provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops.
Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy ) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.
Call your health care provider if your child has trouble breathing through the nose or other symptoms of enlarged adenoids.

We are a not-for-profit, state-of-the-art children's hospital on a 50-acre campus with a medical staff of more than 550 physicians. In California, we treat more inpatient cases than any pediatric hospital north of San Diego, making us the second largest children's hospital in the state. With 356 licensed beds, Children's Hospital Central California is one of the largest hospitals of its type in the nation.
We are the first children's hospital west of the Rockies to receive Magnet Nursing designation, the highest nursing benchmark in the world, and we are one of fewer than 10 pediatric intensive care units in the nation to have received the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence. We are also accredited by the Joint Commission.
We perform more than 11,000 pediatric surgeries a year and our pediatric and neonatal intensive care units have some of the lowest mortality rates in the country while treating some of the sickest kids. Our Cancer Center is a member of the nationally-recognized Children's Oncology Group, and sees more than 100 new cases a year. Our Willson Heart Center has pioneered pediatric heart care for over 50 years.
Who are we? We are the premier pediatric medical center in the heart of the Golden State. We are Children's Hospital Central California – amazing people, incredible care.
The mission of Children's Hospital Central California is to provide high quality, comprehensive healthcare services to children, regardless of their ability to pay, and to continuously improve the health and well-being of children.
Our vision captures the path we've traveled and showcases our commitment and passion to be the best. Our clear focus is to continue to provide the best care and the best quality pediatric services available anywhere.
Our vision is to become the nation's best children's hospital.
Our values guide every decision and define our commitment and the actions supporting it. Excellence: We depend on exceptional people to provide exceptional quality health care and services throughout Children's Hospital. We set high standards and we support each other as we strive to achieve them. We invest in each other and we value the individual and cultural differences that make us strong. We are proud of our superior services as measured by quality outcomes.
Compassionate Care: We treat every child, every family, each other, our visitors, and our vendors with respect, kindness, hope, joy and good humor. We display our helpful, healing, family-centered spirit at every opportunity. We recognize the importance of playfulness in human interaction and in the health of children. We look for ways to ease suffering and provide comfort.
Integrity: We are honest, ethical and responsible in our work and in the way we deal with others. We keep our promises and admit our mistakes. We know ourselves and we avoid hidden agendas. By the way we live our lives everyday, we are worthy of the trust people place in us.
Innovation: We embrace change, creativity, continuous learning and personal growth. We incorporate new ideas, technology and methods to improve the health care and services we provide. We anticipate future trends and we create strategic plans to insure future growth and continued vitality.
Collaboration: We build enduring internal and external relationships, joining with colleagues across organizational boundaries to improve the care and services we provide. We encourage and reward both individual and team achievements. We put the common good ahead of narrow interests.
Stewardship: We are resourceful, adaptable and resilient. We have a "can do" attitude that gets the job done. We are fiscally responsible and efficient with our time. We protect our reserves and manage our operating costs in order to invest in the next generation of kids. We are each personally dedicated to making Children's Hospital better because we were here.
Children's Hospital Central California began as the vision of five civic-minded women who saw the need for a dedicated pediatric hospital in Central California. Close to 60 years later, Children's Hospital has grown to a 348-bed, nationally respected regional pediatric medical center on a 50-acre campus. See the timeline below to learn more about Children's history:
1949 - As the dream of a children's hospital in Central California started to become reality, fundraising wheels were set in motion and many hospital guilds were founded. The Llanada Guild donated $6,000 to the building effort in September.
1950 - A building fund campaign successfully raises $325,000.
1951 - Groundbreaking is held at the future site of Valley Children's Hospital. Later that year, the first medical equipment begins to arrive.
1952 - The Hospital is dedicated to the children of the Central Valley. An open house welcomes dignitaries and visitors to see their dream realized. A few weeks later, Valley Children's Hospital cares for its first patient.
1953-60 - As the Hospital continues to grow, an iron lung and electromyography are added for polio patients. A cardiac clinic is also opened, serving both adults and children.
Heart surgeons use the only cardioscope in the Valley to perform surgery in the Hospital's first-ever cardiac catheterization.
1961 - Hospital acquires a heart defibrillator.
The Intensive Newborn Service Center opens to care for premature infants. In order to calm patients' fears and help them feel comfortable, the Hospital starts a program to take patients on pre-operative tours.
The first adult heart surgery is performed at Valley Children's.
1971 - A new intensive care unit for premature babies opened, followed shortly by a "preemie transport system". This specially equipped van brought premature infants to the Hospital from across the Valley.
1974 - First "bloodless" open-heart surgery performed.
1975 - The Hospital opens a 24-hour emergency room. To this day, it remains the only dedicated pediatric emergency room between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
1978 - In a first for Central California, doctors at Valley Children's separate conjoined twins.
1978-1980 - "AM Admissions" unit opens. Now known as Day Surgery, children could check in for surgery in the morning and be back at home that night.
Expansion groundbreaking occurs at the Hospital.
1980 - A newly remodeled intensive care unit opens.
Plans for a Ronald McDonald House progress.
Adult Cardiac unit closed to accommodate more pediatric programs.
1985 - Camp Sunshine Dreams – which gives kids with cancer and their siblings a chance to have a week away at summer camp – is born.
1990's - During the 90's one big story dominated coverage of Valley Children's Hospital – the move to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Madera County. Planning and building stretched over a decade.
1998 - At one minute past midnight on the last day of August, the move to the new facility begins.
2002 - Valley Children's officially changes its name to Children's Hospital Central California to better reflect the area it serves.
2004 - Children's Hospital is designated by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as a Magnet Nursing hospital. This prestigious designation recognizes the highest levels of excellence in patient care through nursing services and is awarded to less than 3 percent of all hospitals in the United States. Excellent nursing is part of what makes this a great place to get better.
2007 – Children's Hospital Central California admits more inpatients than any California pediatric hospital north of San Diego, making it the second largest children's hospital in the Golden State.
2008 –The ANCC designates Children's as a Magnet Nursing hospital for a second time. (Hospitals may apply for redesignation every four years.) Also in 2008, Children's Hospital becomes the first hospital in the state to offer private rooms in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
2009 – Children's Hospital initiates our first major fundraising campaign in thirteen years. Co-chaired by Bill and Linda Smittcamp, the $42 million Campaign for Children's builds upon our rich history of success. We also launch Children's 101 this year. The half-day event provides community leaders a hands-on look at the exceptional care provided at the Hospital, and creates greater public awareness of our role as the only pediatric specialty hospital in all of Central California.
2010 – Our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) receives the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence, an award given by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) to fewer than 10 PICUs in the nation. The Willson Heart Center's new $4 million, state-of-the-art pediatric catheterization laboratory opens in May, and The Maternal Fetal Center opens in July. Also this year, Children's acquires the Healthcare Interpreters Network, a system featuring video/teleconferencing units that provide remote access to an interpreter in any language. And finally, Children's takes an important step and joins more than 50 percent of hospitals nationwide in becoming smoke and tobacco free.
2011 – Paramount Farms Plaza opens for our first patient on May 31. The 60,000-square-foot, $66 million expansion includes new surgical suites, increased medical imaging, an expanded emergency department, and an extension of the Hospital's PICU. In June of this year, Children's begins our adaptive sports program, which provides recreational and athletic experiences for children and adults with disabilities.
Today – The continuation of the dream of five women has become a bright, beautiful reality in the form of a regional medical center dedicated exclusively to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of children. This new medical center is the cornerstone of a collaborative pediatric health delivery system that will provide a continuum of care to the children of Central California. As a tribute to our founders, Mrs. Agnes Crockett, Mrs. Gail Goodwin, Mrs. Helen (Maupin) Ross, Mrs. Carolyn Peck and Mrs. Patty Randall, the roads surrounding the Hospital bear their names.

I don't know if anybody else is having this issue but every single comic page for Awful is broken.
I assume it's because a certain Artist is going to get another Comic Slot up there and it just means that one comic is going to have to be deleted. Although it could just be a bug.

Good Ship Sesame is getting a facelift! Your Sesame Street friends wanted to take a ride on the ship, so we are making some enhancements! In 1990, the 60-foot Good Ship Sesame docked at the entrance to Sesame Island, our tropical-themed area of the park. This spring, you will see that your Sesame friends have now climbed aboard.
The foundation for Cookie's Sometimes Anytime Food Market is being placed and samples of the giant cookie jar have arrived at the park. Cookie's Sometimes Anytime Food Market will be located in the new Cookie's Monster Land opening May 2014. The food market will offer a variety of grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, snacks and beverages to satisfy hungry little monsters.
This rendering shows what the final cookie jar market will look like.
Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with Santa Claus and have an interview. I wanted to ask all of the important questions that everybody wanted to know.
Tom: First question, where do you park the sleigh while you are at Sesame Place?
In the Human Resources department at Sesame Place, we tend to hold on to things so we can remember them in the future. Let's take a trip down memory lane with some of the great items we pulled from the capsule.
The Time Capsule has items from the park's opening in 1980 until 2000.
The first item that I pulled from the capsule was this pennant.
Where can you take a train through a magical Gingerbread cookie factory? Well at A Very Furry Christmas at Sesame Place, of course! The Sesame Place Furry Express is waiting for you and your family to travel through the magical land of the Twiddlebugs.
Sesame Place made the list of the Top 19 places that will make your kid's dreams come true!

If you weren't watching as closely as Roger Lanctot was, you may have missed the significance of a recent announcement from telematics systems vendor ATX Group.
ATX provided TeleAid services to Mercedes-Benz customers until last fall, when Mercedes switched to Hughes Telematics and launched mbrace. Mercedes wants customers to switch from TeleAid to mbrace, but ATX recently launched a downloadable smartphone application called iRoute that it hopes will maintain and extend its relationship with Mercedes customers who use TeleAid (ATX Connected Vehicle Service). ATX's free app provides customers who choose to continue as ATX subscribers many of the functions that are available in mbrace.
By tapping on the iRoute icon on their iPhone, drivers can link to ATX to perform point of interest searches, remotely unlock the doors of their vehicle, or to call for roadside assistance.
Lanctot, a director at the research firm Strategy Analytics, notes that mbrace was the first app from an automaker to enable remote functions from a handset, and the ATX app is the first instance of a service provider competing with an automaker for the automaker's customers.
"The introduction of the ATX downloadable app is perhaps the worst case scenario for an OEM given the existing relationship with Mercedes TeleAid subscribers," Lanctot writes. "OEMs are being forced into the business of certifying applications for use in the car at the risk of losing control of both the customer and the user experience. Nearly every OEM is scrambling to demonstrate or introduce an app store strategy of some kind following the perceived success of Ford's Sync model. But no one is pondering the potential for an application to commandeer an OEM's marketing, sales and telematics strategy as well as the user experience in the vehicle."
Mercedes plans to introduce new applications soon, but Lanctot asks, "If ATX can divert Mercedes' TeleAid customers, which OEM will be the next to see an app divert their customers?"

A head MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan of the head is a imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the brain and surrounding nerve tissues.
It does not use radiation.
Nuclear magnetic resonance - cranial; Magnetic resonance imaging - cranial; MRI of the head; MRI - cranial; NMR - cranial; Cranial MRI; Brain MRI; MRI - brain; MRI - head
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal fasteners (such as sweatpants and a t-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.
You will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). The dye is usually given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test most often lasts 30 - 60 minutes, but it may take longer.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may receive medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious, or your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI, in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
The MRI contains strong magnets. Metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner. This includes:
An MRI exam causes no pain. If you have difficulty lying still or are very nervous, you may be given a medicine to relax you. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow. The machine produces loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones that you can help you pass the time or block the scanner noise.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can go back to your normal diet, activity, and medications.
MRI provides detailed pictures of the brain and nerve tissues.
A brain MRI can be used to diagnose and monitor many diseases and disorders that affect the brain, including:
An MRI scan of the head can also determine the cause of:
A special type of MRI called magnetic resonance angiography (MRA ) may be done to look at blood vessels in the brain.
Abnormal results may be due to:
MRI uses no radiation. To date, no side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to the substance rarely occur. However, gadolinium can be harmful to patients with kidney problems who require dialysis. If you have kidney problems, please tell your health care provider before the test.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can make heart pacemakers and other implants not work as well. It can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.
Tests that may be done instead of an MRI of the head include:
A CT scan may be preferred in the following cases, since it is faster and usually available right in the emergency room:

MAX developed 400psi High Pressure System and introduced the system in Japanese market in 1994. In 2006 MAX started selling the High Pressure System in North America and has been expanding the market of next-generation fastening systems. Why high pressure? It's simple. Higher air pressure brings higher driving power. The high pressure fastening tools are increadibly powerful yet their tool size is 40% smaller and tool weight is 30% lighter than conventional 100psi models. With the High Pressure System you can not only fasten hard engineer woods but also wood to concrete, wood to steel I beam and steel to concrete. |

EcoSmart 14-Watt (60W equivalent) Soft White CFL Light Bulb
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
EcoSmarts 14-Watt CFL bulb was ranked highly for its ability to light up our test lamp. Plus, our lab measurements found among the most even output from all sides of the bulb, meaning it will distribute light evenly in your home with no skewing or dull spots. It was about as efficient as most CFLs, but it took more than two minutes to reach peak brightness. We were also disappointed with the lifetime of our test bulb; it wasn't able to last even half of the full 10,000 hours it was rated for.

I'm a software architect. Yeah, what do I do on a UX site, you may ask?
Software design - a nowadays largely forgotten discipline - is about making software which solve human problems. The difference between today's UX and yesterday's software design is that UX has to stop at the point where technology gets involved, while software design goes right to the point where the software is at the user's hand, and even further - covering development processes, testing, deployment, whatever needs to get that software working.
Whatever it takes to make people's life easier, to make people's life more effective, to make people work with less stress, through software.
I'm an architect with a focus on frontend, and a proficiency in web-languages and web architectures.
I worked as lead developer / software architect for startups and well-known companies, and when it was realized I'm not that bad at user interfaces, I worked as a UX designer for a well-known finnish company.
So, ask me if you have any questions on how it gets done: how do we solve problems for humans through software.

Nope...he's a shrimp.
Cowher's gone. No need to over draft a slot receiver.
How about scoring points in the red zone?
Would suck to be a 'fan' of a team and but do nothing more than bitch and moan about their very move or non-move. I'm a big Pirate fan and don't complain about them as much as some do about the Steelers.
Thing is, there are plenty of options at WR in this draft. Not sure if grabbing 1 in Round 1 is any more effective than grabbing a guy in Round 2 or 3. Some like Hopkins as an option- ok, but what about Wheaton in Round 2? that dude can fly. Some want a bigger guy like Allen or Woods in Round 1, what about Harper or Da'Rick Rogers in Round 2?
The value drop-off from Round 1 WR to Round 2 WR is not that great. In fact, there's an argument to be made that some Round 3 WR's might be equally as effective.
The same cannot be said for a few other positions, however.

H is for Hippo The big news was the launch of the H is for Hippo campaign, through which we have funded 62 (and counting!) Hippo Rollers, which are amazing water transportation devices we'll be delivering to Kgautswane, South Africa. I'll be leaving March 22nd for the trip, will hand over the rollers, and remain in the community to do interviews, research, and to see how we as Project H can continue to work with them on larger water design projects (filtration, irrigation, reclamation, etc). Thanks to ALL of you who so generously donated to this initiative- I'm so grateful for your support. And if you haven't had a chance to contribute but would like to, there's still time! Check out all the information at www.projecthdesign.com to see how you can sponsor a Hippo Roller and be involved in this great project.
Project H: Design for Education summer studio We also confirmed plans for our first Project H summer studio, which will run as a class at the California College of Arts in San Francisco from June 2nd to August 2nd. It's called "Project H: Design for Education," and we'll be looking specifically at how product design can serve elementary education needs, provide products and tools for global curricula, etc. The two case studies will be a local Northern California school district and a school for AIDS orphans in Uganda (which I'll also be visiting on my Africa trip). A big part of this initiative is public collaboration- between designers, educators, design students, children, and the general public, so if you'd like to come to one of the sessions as a guest critic, please let me know!
Project H at ICFF for NY Design Week May 2008 I've mentioned this before, but this year I'll be speaking on behalf of Project H at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York on May 19th as part of Metropolis Magazine's "Doing Good and Doing Well"-themed conference. If you're in the New York area, come on down! Stay tuned for future plans regarding the HauteGreen exhibition as well.

Continuing its celebration of the important contributions that Scottish immigrants made to early Arizona, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa has launched The Scotch Library, which provides both aficionados and those new to Scotch with the opportunity to select from nearly 200 different labels.
The impressive collection features more than 100 single malts and 25 blends imported from all six whisky regions of Scotland (Speyside, Highland, Islay, Islands, Lowland and Campbeltown) and representing nearly half of the distilleries in Scotland today. Vintages in the Scotch Library range from 10-year-old Scotch to Scotch that is more than 30 years old.
Assisting guests with selections are Scotch Library Ambassadors, who are experts in the area of single malt and blend whiskies from Scotland. Not only are the Ambassadors passionate Scotch consumers themselves, but they have received extensive training to prepare them for their role as ambassadors. Served in two-ounce pours, the offerings are priced from $10 per serving to $475 per serving for the Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute, a limited edition ultra-premium blend from Pernod Ricard that is named for the 62 gun salute fired for royal anniversaries.
The Scotch Library is open from 5 – 9 p.m. nightly.

Morton neuroma is an injury to the nerve between the toes, which causes thickening and pain. It commonly affects the nerve that travels between the third and fourth toes.
The exact cause is unknown. Doctors believe the following may play a role in the development of this condition:
Morton neuroma is more common in women than in men.
In rare cases, nerve pain occurs in the space between the second and third toes. This is not a common form of Morton neuroma, but treatment is similar.
Your health care provider can usually diagnose this problem by examining your foot. A foot x-ray may be done to rule out bone problems. MRI or ultrasound can successfully diagnose the condition.
Nerve testing (electromyography ) cannot diagnose Morton neuroma. But it may be used to rule out conditions that cause similar symptoms.
Blood tests may be done to check for inflammation-related conditions, including certain forms of arthritis.
Nonsurgical treatment is tried first. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
Anti-inflammatories and painkillers are not recommended for long-term treatment.
In some cases, surgery is needed to remove the thickened tissue and inflammed nerve. This helps relieve pain and improve foot function. Numbness after surgery is permanent.
Nonsurgical treatment does not always improve symptoms. Surgery to remove the thickened tissue is successful in about 85% of cases.
Morton neuroma can make walking difficult. Persons with this foot condition may also have trouble with activities that put pressure on the foot, such as pressing the gas pedal while driving. It may hurt to wear certain types of shoes, such as high-heels.
Call your health care provider if you have persistent pain or tingling in your foot or toe area.
Avoid ill-fitting shoes. Wear shoes with a wide toe box or flat heels.

Cocaine is an illegal stimulant drug that affects your central nervous system. It is derived from the Erythroxylum coca plant, which is found in abundance in Central America, South America, the West Indies, and Indonesia. It produces a sense of extreme joy by causing the brain to release higher than normal amounts of some biochemicals. However, cocaine's effects on other parts of the body can be very serious, or even deadly.
See also:
Intoxication - cocaine
Cocaine intoxication may be caused by:
Symptoms of cocaine intoxication include:
With higher doses, sweating, tremors, confusion, hyperactivity and muscle damage, hyperthermia (seriously elevated body temperature), kidney damage, seizures, stroke , irregular heart beats, and sudden death can occur.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. A class of medications called benzodiazepines are given to calm slow a rapid heart beat, and lower blood pressure, and treat anxiety and/or agitation. The medicines include diazepam and lorazepam. Fluids will be administered through a vein. Heart, brain, muscle and kidney complications will be treated with additional medications.
Long-term treatment requires drug counseling in combination with medical therapy.
