An extradural hemorrhage is bleeding between the inside of the skull and the outer covering of the brain (called the "dura").
Extradural hematoma; Epidural hematoma
An extradural hemorrhage is often caused by a skull fracture during childhood or adolescence. This type of bleeding is more common in young people because the membrane covering the brain is not as firmly attached to the skull as it is in older people.
An extradural hemorrhage occurs when there is a rupture of a blood vessel, usually an artery, which then bleeds into the space between the "dura mater" and the skull. The affected vessels are often torn by skull fractures .
This is most often the result of a severe head injury, such as those caused by motorcycle or automobile accidents. Extradural hemorrhages can be caused by venous (from a vein) bleeding in young children.
Rapid bleeding causes a collection of blood (hematoma) that presses on the brain, causing a rapid increase of the pressure inside the head (intracranial pressure). This pressure may result in additional brain injury.
An extradural hemorrhage is an emergency because it may lead to permanent brain damage and death if left untreated. There may be a rapid worsening within minutes to hours, from drowsiness to coma and death.
A health care provider should be consulted for any head injury that results in even a brief loss of consciousness or if there are any other symptoms after a head injury (even without loss of consciousness).
The typical pattern of symptoms that indicate an extradural hemorrhage is loss of consciousness, followed by alertness, then loss of consciousness again. But this pattern may NOT appear in all people.
The most important symptoms of an extradural hemorrhage are:
The symptoms usually occur within minutes to hours after a head injury and indicate an emergency situation.
The neurological examination may indicate that a specific part of the brain is malfunctioning (for instance, arm weakness on one side) or may indicate increased intracranial pressure .
If there is increased intracranial pressure, emergency surgery may be needed in order to relieve the pressure and prevent further brain injury.
A head CT scan will confirm the diagnosis of an extradural hemorrhage and will pinpoint the exact location of the hematoma and any associated skull fracture .
An extradural hemorrhage is an emergency condition! Treatment goals include taking measures to save the person's life, controlling symptoms, and minimizing or preventing permanent damage to the brain.
Life support measures may be required. Emergency surgery is almost always necessary to reduce pressure within the brain. This may include drilling a small hole in the skull to relieve pressure and allow drainage of the blood from the brain.
Large hematomas or solid blood clots may need to be removed through a larger opening in the skull (craniotomy ).
Medications used in addition to surgery will vary according to the type and severity of symptoms and brain damage that occurs.
Anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin) may be used to control or prevent seizures. Some medications called "hyperosmotic agents" (like mannitol, glycerol, and hypertonic saline) may be used to reduce brain swelling.
An extradural hemorrhage has a high risk of death without prompt surgical intervention. Even with prompt medical attention, a significant risk of death and disability remains.
There is a risk of permanent brain injury whether the disorder is treated or untreated. Symptoms (such as seizures ) may persist for several months, even after treatment, but in time they usually become less frequent or disappear completely. Seizures may begin as many as 2 years after the injury.
In adults, most recovery occurs in the first 6 months, with some improvement over approximately 2 years. Children usually recover more quickly and completely than adults.
Incomplete recovery is the result of brain damage. Other complications include permanent symptoms such as paralysis or loss of sensation (which began at the time of the injury), herniation of the brain and permanent coma, and normal pressure hydrocephalus , which can lead to weakness, headaches, incontinence, and difficulty walking.
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if symptoms of extradural hemorrhage occur.
Spinal injuries often occur with head injuries, so if you must move the person before help arrives, try to keep his or her neck still.
Call your health care provider if symptoms persist after treatment, including memory loss, difficulty maintaining attention, dizziness, headache, anxiety, speech difficulties, and complete or partial loss of movement in part of the body.
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if emergency symptoms develop after treatment, including breathing difficulties, convulsions/seizures, decreased responsiveness, loss of consciousness, enlarged pupils, and uneven pupil size.
An extradural hemorrhage may not be preventable once a head injury has occurred.
To minimize the risk of head injury, use appropriate safety equipment (such as hard hats, bicycle or motorcycle helmets, and seat belts).
Follow general safety rules. For example, do not dive into water if the water depth is unknown or if rocks may be present. Use appropriate safety precautions in sports, recreation, and work. Drive safely.

This page used to host Lyons Limited Antique Prints. The shop was established in 1968 in Palo Alto, California. They used to sell paintings that you can browse by subject, by artist, or by price. They had over six hundred thousand prints in their inventory, which have been categorized into over twenty main divisions.
What was interesting about Lyons Limited collection of prints was that they also wrote short biographies of the artists they feature. In the page where they list all these artists, they explained the possible approaches to collecting graphic art. It was probably a guide on how to start collecting, for after all, if you feel a connection to the author's life as well (not just his or her art), you would want to have more of his or her works in your possession.
Their brief introduction to these authors then help in placing the artists in the era he or she practiced, and the techniques used. For some artists, they have as much as a hundred and fifty works included in the collection, but others only have at least one. The prices of these prints vary from under a hundred dollars to over two thousand dollars.
The last featured painting in their home page was of Maria Sibylla Merian, a German born naturalist and scientific illustrator. Her works, which included engravings of plants in the 17th century, have been instrumental in revolutionizing discoveries in both botany and zoology. Though at her time an interest in insects was unusual and frowned upon, she collected and observed live insects and made detailed drawings of them.
Merian and her younger daughter actually went to South America (without a male companion, which was a rather great deal at the time) and studied the animals and plants specimens she read about, in their natural habitat. This exploration led to more accurate illustrations that earned her international respect when she published her first work Insects of Surinam in 1705.
Lyons Limited also sold various books and gift cards which looked very fascinating as well. Lovers of the past would have really loved this site and the gift shop because of all the rich source of historical information in print – with both texts and illustrations.
These books, cards and gifts were divided into different categories as well. If you love reading about American history, Oriental art as viewed by the West, Botany, Architecture, Zoology, and more, you would be sure to find something for your taste here.
They sold framing services for their antique prints, but also for personal artwork of their clients as well. Their custom matting and framing are known throughout the country, and their expert staff works with clients on these design projects along with the fine custom matting and framing. They have a wide range of hand-carved mouldings made from steel, wood and leaves. Their conservation mats are also made of quality silk, linen and French matting.
The firm achieved their objectives through both the California gallery and their online store. Lyons Limited wanted to provide clients exceptional customer service by being the resource of fine and decorative prints for both retail and trade clients. They have been featured in tons of magazines for their wide-ranging art collection, and have been part of Art Antique Shows as well. The owners have also held lectures on these antique shows about the identification and valuation of antique prints that the audience may find in their collection.
After over forty years in existence, Lyons Limited had become one of the largest and oldest companies in the antique print industry. Their gallery in Palo Alto continually exhibits their art and antiques.

73rd Street Penthouse, New York
Located beneath a large skylight, this glass-box master bath serves as a natural lighting fixture.
Travis Dubreuil
Electric privacy glass permits modesty at the touch of a switch.
The bath separates the master bedroom from a private study, but its transparency creates the sense of a single continuous space.
A wall tiled with Vals stone, quarried in Switzerland, rises through two floors of the apartment.
A carved stone lavatory cantilevers from the tiled wall.
The solid-surface floor folds down, into a sunken tub/shower, and up, forming a pedestal that holds plumbing controls and a tray for soap and shampoos.

In addition to its expected functions, 73rd Street Penthouse's master bath serves as a walk-in light fixture. Located beneath a large skylight, the glass-walled box opens a glowing column of daylight between the master bedroom and study (electric privacy glass turns the room opaque at the touch of a switch). The room's solid surface floor folds into a step-down tub/shower, while a carved stone lavatory emerges from the stone wall that rises through two floors of the apartment. At the practical level, the jury noted that the intervention makes the bedroom suite feel larger, but they also called it "mysterious" and "dreamy."

Trip End

I left my camera at home but quickly regretted it. TL was nice enough to let me use hers to take a lot of photos.
Around lunchtime Cindy came out with her adorable daughter and we all had lunch at Iguanas. I remember the food there being better before. Oh well, so much for my memory. It was still a great lunch with friends.
After eating we headed back to Langley and hit the mall. The moms wanted to check out baby things in Toys 'R Us so I tagged along for awhile and I picked out my future baby's crib set. No, I have no plans to have a baby I just really liked the crib set.
After more bonding we all went back to our respective accommodations. I had dinner with my parents and Keenan and relaxed a bit in the evening. We haven't really done much the last couple of days but we have done a lot of relaxing and socializing which are both important elements to a great vacation.

When a person describes their ideal design software, or any software for that matter, Ease-of-Use is always on the list of desirable attributes. It makes sense that in order to be productive with the software in the shortest amount of time the software must be easy to use. All of the CAD and CFD tools I work with strive to achieve this goal (except for one which I won't name and it isn't one of our … Read More

5 A MUST HAVE for die-hards and transformers newbies!penguinkw | 29/09/2012 | See all penguinkw's reviews (1)This game is an all round improvement on the first, it's easy to pick up and play and the story is vastly improved. the graphics are very good and there are some awesome set pieces such as the autobot city transforming into metroplex towering above optimus, whether you're a transformers fan or new to the games this is a fantastic and enjoyable game with an addictive online, i'd like to see the cod games that lets you transform into a car or tank when you need that bit extra ;)
5 fantastic game better than the old gamecatwoman2007 | 18/09/2012 | See all catwoman2007's reviews (2)great game and the story mode is better than the old game i would recommend to any transformers fan out there!!
4 Brilliant (esp for a TF fan)Will1979 | 03/03/2013 | See all Will1979's reviews (7)A hugely enjoyable game, made even more so if like me you're a fan of the G1 transformers. I'm not a huge fan of the co-op mode of the game but maybe that's just me. The fact you can go on a rampage as a giant robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex more than makes upf for this however.

Recently I changed my Facebook name to incorporate my middle name, Miki. If you never read my blog before then you probably don't know that I am half Japanese. Miki in Japanese means future hope. At first I used to hate my name, let me explain.
Throwback: When I was younger I used to hate that I was even half Japanese. A lot of the time I got made fun of for having different eyes or being told by others that I am suppose to be good at math because I am Asian. Being different to me meant that I would just get made fun of. When I was younger I didn't understand why out of all my siblings I looked the most Asian. I would get made fun of things I brought to lunch. I don't want to make this some sob story. I will not say I was bullied because I think bully is very intense word, and that's not what happened to me.
Now: I have realized how proud to be who I am. How many people can say they were born in a different country in America? I can. I love that I can have authentic Japanese food from my mom, and I love that I have two amazing cultures to learn from. Being different is not a bad thing, if anything it is a good thing. Being different has brought me so many opportunities, and has also opened my eyes to a lot of different things. Now that I have realized this I am definitely open to so much more. It makes me sad that there are still people today in society who think different is bad, because in reality different is what has gotten us to today.
So yes my middle name is Miki, and while it took me a while to realize that it doesn't suck to have a middle name that is a Disney character it took my longer to realize that everyone should be proud of what they stand for, and who they are.
