Microcephaly is a condition in which a person's head size is much smaller than that of others of the same age and sex. Head size is measured as the distance around the top of the head. A smaller than normal size is determined using standardized charts.
Microcephaly most often occurs because the brain does not grow at a normal rate. The growth of the skull is determined by brain growth. Brain growth takes place while a baby is in the womb and during infancy.
Conditions that affect brain growth can cause smaller than normal head size. These include infections, genetic disorders, and severe malnutrition.
Genetic conditions that cause microcephaly include:
Other problems that may lead to microcephaly include:
Most often, microcephaly is diagnosed at birth or during routine well-baby exams. Talk to your health care provider if you think your infant's head size is too small or not growing normally.
Most of the time, microcephaly is discovered during a routine exam. Head measurements are part of all well-baby exams for the first 18 months. Tests take only a few seconds while the measuring tape is placed around the infant's head.
The health care provider will keep a record over time to determine:
It may also be helpful to keep your own records of your baby's growth. Talk to your health care provider if you notice that the baby's head growth seems to be slowing down.
If your health care provider diagnoses your child with microcephaly, you should note that in your child's personal medical records.

At Least One Analyst Still Has Faith in J.C. Penney (JCP)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Investors were feeling skittish on J.C.Penney (JCP - Get Report) over Wednesday's session but at least one investment research firm still has faith in a turnaround. Piper Jaffray has upgraded the stock to "overweight" from "neutral" with a price target of $11 on the belief 2014 will be a year of progress for the company.
On Wednesday, the retailer closed 10% lower after releasing few details on its holiday sales performance. In a brief two-paragraph statement, the Plano, Texas-based business said it was pleased with its performance over the holiday sales period and reaffirmed its outlook for the fourth quarter ended January, 2014.
"Customers responded well to the company's offerings this holiday shopping season, both in store and online," J.C. Penney said in its statement.
The clipped release, while not saying much, spoke volumes on concerns of whether a turnaround is taking place.
In pre-market trading Thursday, the retailer is gaining ground, gaining 3.7% to $7.64. TheStreet Ratings team rates PENNEY (J C) CO as a Sell with a ratings score of D. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate PENNEY (J C) CO (JCP) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its feeble growth in its earnings per share, deteriorating net income, generally high debt management risk, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.12 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.36, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Multiline Retail industry and the overall market, PENNEY (J C) CO's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for PENNEY (J C) CO is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 29.47%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -17.59% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$737.00 million or 1502.17% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- PENNEY (J C) CO has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share have declined over the last two years. We anticipate that this should continue in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PENNEY (J C) CO reported poor results of -$4.49 versus -$0.73 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 35.2% in earnings (-$6.07 versus -$4.49).

• Cluster-style earrings featuring Sleeping Beauty turquoise and peridot
• Available both in post design for pierced ears and in clip-on style
• Earrings measure 3/4" in diameter in either version
• Designed and crafted in America with Sleeping Beauty turquoise from Arizona
An exuberant floral design, these earrings, at 3/4" diameter, provide a delightful burst of color and undeniable presence. Round and teardrop-shaped cabochons of turquoise from Arizona's Sleeping Beauty mine form bright petals surrounding a faceted round green peridot bezel-set at the center. Sterling silver accents glint amid the petals and around the center, adding to the cheerfulness of this light-hearted design.
Learn more about our jewelry
Take a journey to the turquoise mines of Arizona with Carolyn Pollack's Newest collection. Set in 14K gold and sterling silver, these turquoise designs hail from two Arizona mines. While Kingman nuggets are bright blue and green with black matrix, Sleeping Beauty is a vibrant blue color with no matrix. Some pieces feature both types of turquoise creating a unique and natural look.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Just 19.9 Minutes…6th Quickest!
via NST:
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians spend an average of 19.9 minutes when they make love.
Hardly the stuff romance novels are made of, they ranked sixth quickest in the world in terms of time spent in a love-making session.However, if it's any consolation, the average time spent is above the global average of 18.3 minutes.
India's lovers were the world's quickest, spending only 13.2 minutes per session.
Nigeria once again topped the ranking on a leisurely 23 minutes.
Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Australia were all well below the world average time.
haha…at least we beat 2 of our neighbours =)

STEP 2: Eyeball the center of your bead, and using the painters tape, wrap the bead horizontally, making sure the ends meet to allow half of the bead to be exposed for painting.
STEP 4: Once the paint is dry, peel off the painters tape.
it would be really pretty if you painted all of the balls with a base, like really light gold, then you chose a gold chain :)
DeleteLike this one! http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2012/02/gold-dipped-necklace.html
ReplyDeleteRunning a row of narrow painters', graphic artist, or car detailing tape around the bead makes it easy to paint a straight line.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to try this! This will be my first jewelry making endeavor... can you tell me where to find wooden beads like these? I have a JoAnn's and a Michael's, but will they have those there? Thank you! So glad to have found your blog (through Pinterest of course)
ReplyDeleteshannon, i got my beads at michael's so try there first! make sure you get the beads with a predrilled hole that goes all the way through the bead. they sell some that just have a hole drilled part way through the bead, but that won't help with this project. :) good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI recently made an ombre necklace with wooden beads and have some leftover! Now I know what to do with them! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJessica, I'm sorry you had trouble finding the beads. I found them in the paintable wood section. There will be blocks and other wood shaped items in the aisle. I hope this helps! Oh and make sure you get the ones that are drilled through, not the ones that just have a hole drilled part way through.
I was googling for this tutorial today, and found it... here (http://www.sheknows.com/living/diy-craft-photo-tutorials-gallery/diy-wooden-bead-necklace/finished-diy-wood-bead-necklace). Maybe you know about this and gave them permission to post, but since they replaced your logo with their own I am guessing that you did not. Just thought you would like to know that your content is showing up elsewhere without attribution - I know I would!
I've been eyeing up this cute necklace for awhile and finally decided to get the materials! I'm wondering though if the paint will rub off onto my shirt when I wear it?? Did you have any problems with that? Thanks :)
ReplyDeletehi katie, i didn't have a problem with the paint rubbing off onto my clothes and i've worn mine countless times. if you're concerned about it, once the paint dries, spray some poly urethane on the beads to seal them. hope that helps!
DeleteGreat, I may try it with just the paint then since it worked for you. Thank you!!
DeleteLove it! Thank you. I made it today for my sisters birthday tomorrow. She will love it too.
ReplyDeleteI can't find a chain like that, where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteDo you recall how long it took for the beads to completely dry? I would love to try this for a large group (60 women) activity but am not sure if I will have enough time for the women to paint and allow to dry.
ReplyDeleteLaura I'm sorry for the missunderstanding.
I've just edited my post and replied your comment.
I said I was fell in love for one of the necklace Scarlata proposed and since your link was there I didn't thought to link it again because it was clear I did it because of yours.
But here you are the post with the link.
Thanks for the inspiration :) and sorry for the inconvenience.

Commercial Canister Vacuums
Many of us would be more than glad to walk into a home or office that is free of dust, dirt and allergens. Homes and offices have a large space of carpeted areas. Some areas may have lush and thick carpets while others may have thin carpets. Nevertheless, it is a herculean task to keep the carpets and floor clear of dust, germs and grime. The same goes for the bare floors also. The good news is that there are good canister vacuum cleaners that are designed to suck the dirt and dust from the carpets and bare floors. Both residential and commercial canister vacuum cleaners are available at GoVacuum.com.
Advantages of using canister vacuums • Has accessories designed to clean all kinds of surfaces. • Easy to move around or carry it up and down the staircase. • Suction power can be adjusted for cleaning rugs and carpets • Flexible hose means it can be used to reach and clean all kinds of areas. • Easy to roll it under furniture as the head height is lower than conventional vacuum cleaners.
Let's take a look at a few good commercial canister vacuum cleaners that were recommended by the users based on their performance, durability and repair record. Almost all canister vacuum cleaners come with allergen filters (HEPA Filters) to make the cleaning more effective.
GoVacuum.com is home to only the best commercial canister vacuums. If you are looking for a simple canister vacuum at a great price then Sanitaire SC3683A 10 Amp Commercial Canister is the best.

Parts of Speech Lesson Plan: Student-Created Review Activities
In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-12, students use BrainPOP resources to identify parts of speech and how each contributes to clear communication. Students then create review activities to help other students understand and practice using various parts of speech.
Students will:
- Identify parts of speech and how each contributes to clear communication
- Create review activities to help other students understand and practice using various parts of speech
- Access to the Internet and BrainPOP
- Class set of photocopies of the Vocabulary page for note-taking
noun; verb; adjective; adverb; modify
After students have been taught about the basic parts of speech, tell the class that they're going to create activities to help other students understand and practice using parts of speech. You may want students to prepare their projects for the following year's class to complete, or have them visit a younger group of students in the school and use the activities with them. Or, they could create activities for their own class to use at the end of the year for review: each group can trade activities and complete them. Make sure the purpose is clear to students and authentic.Lesson Procedure:
- Show the Parts of Speech movie and have students take notes on the Vocabulary page. You may want to show the movie through twice, pausing the second time for students to write their definitions. Turning on the closed captioning will assist students in this, and is a great opportunity to teach paraphrasing skills.
- Assign students to work in small groups or partners and create activities to teach others about parts of speech. They should watch various BrainPOP and/or BrainPOP Jr. movies on parts of speech (listed at the top of this page) to conduct their research. They may wish to include BrainPOP resources in their review activities, as well.
- Students may want to create BrainPOP-inspired activities like Mad Libs, Do It! Questions, Quiz Questions, Brainstorming, Matching, Re-Writes, Adding Words, Alphabet Activity or other formats for their review activities. These can be compiled into packets for photocopying or can be shared digitally and completed paperlessly.
- Provide time for students to share their parts of speech activities.

Mentor Graphics Delivers First Hardware/Software Processor Support Package for the ARM Cortex-M3 Processor
WILSONVILLE, Ore., August 1, 2006 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the availability of the first Mentor processor support package for the ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, which works with Mentor Graphics' Seamless® tool to expose hardware/software integration errors inherent in processor-based designs. A Seamless processor support package for the ARM11™ MPCore™ multiprocessor is also available.
Mentor's processor support packages for the ARM Cortex-M3 processor and the ARM11 MPCore multiprocessor are based on validated models created by ARM and delivered to Mentor with ARM RealView® Electronic System Level (ESL) Application Programming Interfaces (API), a coordinated family of debug, simulation and profiling interfaces that include the Cycle Accurate Simulation Interface (CASI). These models help reduce design risk by providing a fast, cycle-aware representation that gives design teams a window on silicon performance long before committing to tapeout. Additionally, the virtual processor model provides an excellent level of detail regarding hardware registers, software variables and hardware design issues, enabling simulation runs that closely reflect actual system behavior. Using the high-speed ARM processor models, designers can accurately simulate the entire boot-up process, including device drivers and hardware diagnostics, thereby detecting errors that would prevent boot-up in a hardware prototype.
"Designers who choose ARM processors typically work on leading-edge applications with tight market windows. For this reason and others, timely EDA support for our processors is one of our key concerns," said Keith Clarke, vice president, Technical Marketing, ARM. "Mentor Graphics has an excellent track record of integrating ARM processor-based models in time to meet customer demand. This will now be enhanced by the addition of the ARM11 MPCore multiprocessor and the new ARM Cortex-M3 processor."
The Seamless hardware/software integration environment provides full control over test execution using the ARM Cortex-M3 processor model, enabling designers to isolate and fix hardware/software interface errors early in the development schedule. To validate that system performance targets are met, Seamless features performance profiling capabilities to accurately measure key design parameters such as bus bandwidth utilization, memory loading, and software profiling, before committing to hardware. The Seamless product is part of Mentor's Scalable Verification™ platform, a full suite of products that comprise a complete path from HDL simulation to emulation.
"Since the introduction of the ARM7™ processor family, Mentor Graphics and ARM have aligned to provide timely solutions to the verification challenges inherent in processor-based design," said Serge Leef, general manager of the System-Level Engineering Division at Mentor Graphics. "The past collaboration and technology development between ARM and Mentor were the key to creating this processor support package for the Cortex-M3 processor, and provide an important foundation as we move to ease hardware/software integration in future ARM processors."
Pricing and Availability
Mentor Graphics Seamless processor support packages for the complete family of ARM processors, including the ARM Cortex-M3 processor and ARM11 MPCore multiprocessor, are priced at $45,000. For technical information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. To find additional product information and white papers, or to register for free Seamless workshops and functional verification seminars, please visit www.mentor.com/products/fv/hwsw_coverification/.

Best Auditing and Compliance Product 4 years in a row!
Change auditing is critical to maintaining an efficient and secure IT infrastructure and for maintaining compliance and audit requirements. Without effective and convenient tracking and ongoing review of changes in systems and applications organizations risk losing control of security. Unauthorized, unwanted, and malicious changes in IT infrastructure can have tremendous impact on business continuity and predictability. The Change Reporter feature of Netwrix Auditor automates and simplifies change auditing and reporting for critical IT systems across the entire IT infrastructure. No matter who changed what and where - be it Active Directory, file servers, Microsoft Exchange, filer appliances such as NetApp or EMC, virtual infrastructure, SQL Server databases, Windows Servers - everything is centrally audited, consolidated, and presented in easy to understand reports, scheduled for ongoing review and forensic auditing of day-to-day administrative activities by your security team and periodic inspections by compliance auditors. The Netwrix change auditing solution also provides oversight for applications that may not produce logs or do not provide enough insight into user activity so that you have a complete audit trail of 'Who, What, When and Where' and changes that may risk security and compliance do not go undetected compromising auditing requirements and troubleshooting. The Change Reporter streamlines compliance to HIPAA, SOX, PCI, GLBA, FISMA and many other regulations, provides an easy-to-use solution that drastically improves IT infrastructure visibility and internal security. What's new in Netwrix Change Reporter 4.0:
Powered by AuditAssurance™ technology, the Change Reporter produces reports that include complete information on every single change that has occurred in an organization and can be used for detailed forensic analysis. Another unique Netwrix technology, AuditIntelligence™, transforms raw audit data into meaningful and actionable intelligence to drive security and compliance efforts. Data can be filtered by different criteria, such as name of person who made changes or accessed data, time period, and other parameters. Unlike traditional log management solutions (SIEM), Netwrix makes it very easy to find relevant answers to key questions: who changed what, when, where, including previous and new values for modified settings.

New Fabric Choices at Simplicity Sofas
February 27, 2013 by Ann
Filed under Design Studio
Why is it important to purchase fabric swatches? Fabric swatches allow you to touch and feel the fabric and compare colors you're considering for your home.
They are also helpful to bring with you to the paint store or when shopping for the finishing touches and additional decorations.
Since colors and textures vary, having a swatch of the fabrics you like is a great tool to put your pieces together. This way you can see how the fabrics work together. There are lots of fabric choices out there today, from natural fabric like cotton to man-made fabric such as rayon, which is why we offer so many selections here at Simplicity Sofas.
Another thing to remember is the fabric should compliment the style of the furniture and add to its character. You will also want to be aware of the room size as you don't want to choose an overwhelming pattern for a small space. Make sure the fabric fits the mood of the room too – is it warm or cool? Don't choose a fabric just for its color alone, be sure to use something fitting for the room and atmosphere. Always remember you must love the fabric. Since you are spending time and money on your upholstered piece, make sure you find fabric you will enjoy for many years to come.
Just In Time For Spring!
We're freshening up our fabric collections and are excited about the arrival of more than 60 new fabrics – over 200 in total!
You can order up to 8 free swatches, which will allow you to touch and feel the fabric and help you to visualize the swatches in your home.
Brand new this year are 8 new Robert Allen fabrics that we're very excited about. View the collection here.

The visual field refers to the total area in which objects can be seen in the side (peripheral) vision while you focus your eyes on a central point.
Perimetry; Tangent screen exam; Automated perimetry exam; Goldmann visual field exam; Humphrey visual field exam
Confrontation visual field exam: This is a quick and basic check of the visual field. The health care provider sits directly in front of you. You will cover one eye, and stare straight ahead with the other. You will be asked to tell when you can see the examiner's hand.
Tangent screen or Goldmann field exam: You will sit about 3 feet from a screen with a target in the center. You will be asked to stare at the center object and let the examiner know when you can see an object that moves into your side vision. This exam creates a map of your entire peripheral vision.
Automated perimetry: You sit in front of a concave dome and stare at an object in the middle. You press a button when you see small flashes of light in your peripheral vision. Your responses help determine if you have a defect in your visual field.
No special preparation is necessary.
There is no discomfort with this test.
This eye exam will show whether you have a loss of vision anywhere in your visual field. The pattern of vision loss will help your doctor diagnose the cause.
The peripheral vision is normal.
Abnormal results may be due to diseases or central nervous system disorders, such as tumors that damage or press on (compress) the parts of the brain that deal with vision.
Other diseases that may affect the visual field of the eye include:
The test has no risks.
Your health care provider will discuss with you the type of visual field testing to be done.

The Skybound Sea is indeed the last in Sam Sykes' Aeon's Gate trilogy. He's moving on to a new series but I'm not entirely sure what it'll be - I think it's potentially YA.
September 23rd, 2012, 05:55 PM #287
Yeah, I'll be doing the same thing Because Redick's series is great and I don't want to have to wait till next year to read the conclusion. It stinks when some writers deliver the sequels to their series in a timely fashion and the publisher pushes back release dates. Didn't this happen with Ian Tregellis too?

Yes I just got my copy of Gary Gibson's Stealing Light from BD, took 11 days, not real bad.
Yeah I agree, The Chathrand Voyage series was a big surprise to me, I always pimp this series, I need to go with BD again for this for sure.
Yes I believe that just happened with the Tregellis series too.

I agree. Very little buzz on these books even though they are supposed to big, big debuts. Gollancz is quiet about it, I see no arc's or early reviews, it's nothing like when Name of the Wind was launched, to name a comparison. I think they give it as much publicity as they do any other books, like say Elsbeth Cooper's Wild Hunt series.
I guess this is just how they work, they will focus their publicity engine on the more established big guns. I can't recall them making a major splash for Abercrombie's first book either, and that one gained a large readership steadily but surely. Lynch on the other hand came with a lot of pre-pub buzz, but that was US fed as well.
As for TOR UK, well they seem to release so few books now that the one book that I am interested in hardly getting any publicity sofar is no surprise to me.

Must admit they (Red Knight and Malice) are two I am looking forward to a great deal. Was hoping to get a heads up on both, but as yet to no avail. Do know people that have copies of the ARC of Malice, though.

I asked Orbit and they promised me a review copy of Red Knight when it's available, so we'll see as I plan to get the Uk version if that is published before; about Malice I will see as sometimes Tor.uk sends me review copies, but if I like what I read in a sample whenever available i will get that one too...
In the meantime not sure if it was mentioned but a new Jo Fletcher imprint novel (series debut and author's firrst adult fantasy) Mage's Blood by David Hair seems to be quite interesting and as the official release is Thursday (27) I will check it out and get a copy if I like what i see

Have not heard of it until today - for FBC Mihir got a copy and I am pretty sure I could have asked for one and got it, but I find it harder and harder to read print books so I prefer to wait for an ebook release if the publisher does not offer earcs with very, very few (I really, really want this) exceptions
The blurb sounds interesting but until I see a sample, I simply do not know if the book will interest me - for Red Knight I know for sure as the author is (99%) Christian Cameron under a semi pseudonym and I just love his style (he is one of my top 3 "regular ie publishing a book or more a year with rare gaps" non-sff authors of today)
For Malice same, have no idea how the book will read so need a sample...

quick question:
is there a thread/list somewhere with the releases that actually happened any given year?


text:
quote:Posted by Roaad Considering soldiers kill more innocent civilians per capita than the non-military US citizens. What say you?
quote:nd for those who say they need arms to "rebel against tyranny" do you honestly think you would have a chance? Against the US military?
quote:However, no army on earth could occupy the United States, due to the large amount of civilian ownership.
quote:For the military no limit on fire power. For Joe redneck chell yeah
quote:Civilian ownership would be a minor consideration.
quote:For the military and all citizens no limit on fire power except for Joe Jew, no guns
quote:Who needs a 50 round magazine for their Glock? If I WANTED one I am too cheap to load one.
quote: I feel the 33-round G17 mags are ridiculously awesome!
quote:Sorry, couldn't resist. After jamming Glock mags without a thumb saver I don't want to think about jamming 4x 33 rnd mags. I will say I would just carry a machine pistol rather than a glock with a yardstick for a magazine.
quote:Just curious - how many rounds is "enough", or "too many" in the magazine, in your opinion? And who decides? How will the number be changed in the future (should the need arise), if we go down this path?

September 2012
New vaccines that aim to promote recovery from cocaine and heroin abuse showed promise in animal testing. Both vaccines induced rats' immune system to produce high titers of antibodies that inhibit the target drug from reaching the brain. The rats' behaviors when given access to the target drug indicated that the vaccines reduced the reinforcing effects that, in recovering people, can cause lapses to turn into relapses.
Researchers report a significant advance in the search for medications that can suppress pain but avoid opioids' abuse potential and other undesirable CNS effects. A new compound reduces mouse responses in animal models of neurogenic and chronic inflammatory (e.g., arthritic) pain. The compound, called UB937, enhances the natural pain-killing activity of the neurotransmitter anandamide, and exerts its analgesic effects entirely in peripheral tissues, without entering the brain.
July 2012
Fewer than 12 percent of adolescents who meet diagnostic criteria for prescription opioid abuse or dependence receive any treatment, according to an analysis of data from the 2005 to 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The most common reason the adolescents gave for not receiving treatment was their lack of perceived need for it.
July 2012 Intensive case management was more effective in increasing treatment engagement and reducing alcohol consumption among depressed participants than among those who were not depressed, according to a followup analysis of a substance abuse treatment study involving women on welfare.
July 2012 A modified therapeutic community program designed by NIDA-supported researchers helped Colorado offenders with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders re-enter their communities and avoid recidivism after release from prison.
July 2012 NIDA researchers working with human subjects now have a new resource at their fingertips: the PhenX Toolkit's new Substance Abuse and Addiction (SAA) Collection. The Toolkit is designed to provide standardized measures, vetted and approved by the field, to help researchers compare and combine data from multiple studies.
July 2012 Rates of adolescent cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking stood at historic lows in 2011, but marijuana use trended upward, according to the Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey.
Prenatal drug exposure can have behavioral effects that last well into adulthood, according to two studies of adult monkeys prenatally exposed to cocaine. In the first study, drug-exposed monkeys exhibited less flexibility than controls in adjusting to changing circumstances; in the second study, drug-exposed males exhibited a greater preference than controls for having rewards right away, a sign of impulsivity.
Ninety percent of privately funded substance abuse treatment programs in the United States offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)...
Soluble-film preparations of buprenorphine suppressed heroin abusers' withdrawal symptoms with no serious side effects in a recent clinical trial. They dissolved more rapidly in the mouth than the pill form of the medication, providing faster relief.
