Discover easy, stylish and super convenient ways to green your lifestyle with Josh Dorfman.
Restoring the finish on ReStore antique furniture is a great way to enhance the style of your home.
The choice you make can literally change the world you live in. Collectively we dumped a grand total of 246 million tons of material in 2005, much of it recyclable. By donating gently used furniture, appliances, fixtures, and building materials to The ReStore you become part of the solution to reducing fossil fuel consumption, reducing landfills in your backyard while giving families the opportunity for first time home ownership.
Make the right decision. Don't dump, donate.

You don't have to buy a brand new lo-flow toilet to save water. If you have a large tank, simply fill an empty milk gallon jug with water and place it in the tank. This displaces the water, and allows your old toilet to use less H2O. (And you save money by not buying a new toilet!)

Katie likes to believe she's invisible. It seems much safer than being exposed as she is--shy, poor, awkward. So getting up on stage in the school production of The Taming of the Shrew should be complete torture. But as Katie tells it, something totally unexpected happened when she stepped on stage: "My head exploded. I loved it. Acting hit me like a sucker punch and I loved, loved, loved it! . . . Invisible Katie became visible Katharina."
Evan Cooper is, as they say, another story. He knows just what it takes to get noticed, and he uses every one of the skills he's honed after years of being the new kid. Like tossing the keys to his father's high-end Audi to a kid he's never met, first day of school. "I have insurance for car theft," he explains to a shocked Danny. "And there's a full tank." An abuse of the power that comes with privilege and money? Sure.
But more dangerously, is his romance with Katie another version of the same thing? Or is it the real thing?

VAR CEO Terrie Suit was featured in Hampton Roads-based Inside Business magazine, where she wrote the 2014 What's Ahead forecast for real estate. Terrie was asked, among other well regarded CEOs across the state, to discuss the outlook for a business sector — in her case, the real estate market.
Here's a sample of what she had to say:
Realtors are optimistic by nature, but this optimism is guided by some solid market facts.
Over the past few years, almost every month has shown an improvement in housing figures over the previous year: Sales are up, prices are up, distressed inventory — foreclosures and short sales — are down.
The result is that, for most of the state, the housing economy has returned to its near pre-bubble level and the economic figures we track show the general upswing is likely to continue.
That was in large part due to Virginia's solid economic position. We are a diverse state with diverse economies. Besides the strong military and government sectors in the north, Virginia businesses run the gamut: technology, agriculture, retail, financial, medical, tourism and more.

This is the down side of the Amlin Challenge Cup – the mismatches that result when leading English or French clubs meet one of the outsiders. Yet there was an attraction here, in the shape of a young Gloucester back division who are all qualified for England. A comparison can be drawn with the emerging back line at Newcastle a decade ago, when Jonny Wilkinson was surrounded by Jamie Noon, Tom May and Michael Stephenson, all of whom were later capped.
Here the older men, James Simpson-Daniel, Lesley Vainikolo and Olly Morgan, were joined by Freddie Burns, Jonny May and Henry Trinder. Burns was making his first start of the season at fly-half after hip and back problems. He scored a try and kicked nine conversions.
Bryan Redpath, his coach, was pleased with his management of a game that could have lost all structure. "Freddie stuck to the script and I need him to have game time under his belt," Redpath said, knowing that Aviva Premiership fixtures, against Harlequins and Leicester, are round the corner.
May scored three of the home team's 14 tries with a fine display of broken-field running which was sustained in the final quarter, when Gloucester played with 14 men. Trinder left for the sin-bin after a late challenge but he had also hurt an arm and Gloucester had used all their replacements. Redpath changed half his pack at the interval and rested the scrum-half David Lewis, in the knowledge that he could start against Harlequins if Rory Lawson does not recover from a broken bone in his hand.
Rovigo, who were thrashedat home by La Rochelle last weekend, will be the whipping boys of Pool Five. Jose Guzman, their Argentina No 8, deserved far better, as did Jean-François Montauriol on the flank. But they had no scrum and no attack save a dogged rolling maul.
Gloucester scored their first try within 80 seconds, which set the tone. However, they fell short of their own record for the competition (106 points, against the Romanians of Bucuresti in 2005), never mind the 151 points that Saracens scored against hapless Bucuresti in 2002.
Gloucester: O Morgan; J Simpson-Daniel (C Sharples, 69), H Trinder, J May, L Vainikolo; F Burns (N Robinson, 55), D Lewis (J Pasqualin, 40); A Dickinson (N Wood, 59), S Lawson (D Dawidiuk, 40), P Doran-Jones (P Capdevielle, 40), J Hamilton (P Buxton, 40), A Brown, A Strokosch (B Deacon, 40), L Narraway (capt), A Hazell.
Rovigo: S Basson; A Bacchetti (M De Gaspari, 74), A Lunardon (A Zorzi, 40;), F Zarattini (G Bustos, 36), M Stanojevic; D Duca, M Zanirato; N Quaglio (G Boccalon, 74), F Damiano (R Dolcetto, 40), V Golfetti (L Mahoney, 37), T Reato (capt; A Persico, 40), D Tumiati, Y Anouer (M Barion, 62), J Guzman, J-F Montauriol.
Referee: M Raynal (France).

After there is an acceptance of swap of titles and/or potential vehicle, merchandise offered, etc. You may then acquire this aircraft at your leisure whenever and by any means that you so choose.

|Additional Information
Last time I flew this aircraft a few months ago, just days after in came out of it's condition inspection, I had a hard landing. And I heard a crack that seemed to come from beneath my butt. I had the mechanic come and check it out and he found nothing wrong when he performed a structural test. I then took off again and she flew perfectly with no signs of any issues what-so-ever. The reason that I am stating this is because the safety of any person is more important to me than anything else.
NOTE: When this incident happened, the aircraft just came out of an extensive $2,400 inspection performed by an I.A. (Inspection Authorization) where all of the many inspection plates were removed throughout the aircraft and all of the would was found to be in excellent condition (I have the inspection paperwork from said shop that performed the inspection as well). Having said this, for your peace-of-mind, I would suggest that you have a mechanic go through all of the inspection plates and borescope it for any potential crack/s.

- About this book
This volume presents a conceptual, historical, anthropological, and sociological review of how culture affects our experience and expression of romantic love. What is romantic love and how is it different from and similar to other kinds of love? How is romantic love related to sex and marriage in human history and across contemporary cultures? What cultural factors mediate attraction in love? These are some of the questions the volume explores through its interdisciplinary yet focused lens.Much of the current research evidence suggests that love is a universal emotion experienced by a majority of people, in various historical eras, and in all the world's cultures. Yet, love displays in different ways because culture has an impact on people's conceptions of love and the ways they feel, think, and behave in romantic relationships. This volume summarizes classical knowledge on love and culture while at the same time focusing sharply on recent studies and cutting-edge research that has advanced the field.
Divided into three parts, the volume begins by defining and analyzing the concept of romantic love and interdisciplinary approach to its study in cultural context. Part II traces the origin and evolution of romantic love both in various places throughout the world and various time periods throughout history. Part III presents the revolutionary expansion of romantic love ideas and practices in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in various parts of the world, focusing particularly on the development of romantic love as a cultural ideal of the modern cultures. Finally, the book concludes by summarizing the major achievements in this field of study and predicts future development. A timely and thoughtful addition to the literature, Romantic Love in Cultural Contexts delivers thought-provoking insights to researchers in relationship scholarship, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, and all those interested in the universal human concept of love.
Overall I find Dr. Victor Karandashev is an excellent and fine scholar who has a firm grasp of both the fundamental principles of cross-cultural research and of anthropology. In our increasingly connected world Romantic Love in Cultural Contexts updates and adds to the descriptions and explanations of similarities and differences in romantic love across generations and cultures. Romantic love encompasses the life span, rather than being a phenomenon largely confined to youthful years. The topic of this project concerns the deepest of our sentiments and pervades life from birth to death. This book contributes to better knowledge of this phenomenon across generations.

A Lawrenceburg man is dead this afternoon after apparently setting his home and shed on fire on Enterprise Road, getting into his vehicle and shooting himself.
His name is not being released.
All five Anderson County fire stations responded to the call around 1 p.m. after neighbors reported seeing a large plume of smoke and a series of small explosions at the residence, which sits about a half mile off Enterprise Road.
When first responders arrived, they said the man's home and shed were fully involved.
When Siera Hall and Billy Krider found out they were expecting their second child together, they never would have imagined the road that soon would follow.
Hall was admitted to the hospital at 24 weeks with preeclampsia, which quickly developed into HELLP syndrome. After doing everything she could to keep her baby from being born, Hall was wheeled into an emergency C-section at almost 26 weeks pregnant on Nov. 22, 2016.
When she attended J.D. Shelburne's "Hometown Concert" last summer in Taylorsville, Joani Clark could not help seeing the throngs of people crammed into downtown. There were Spencer County residents and people from surrounding towns, including a good number from Lawrenceburg.
And there were throngs from Louisville, Cincinnati and even some fans from Connecticut in the crowd.
By now, Bailey Curry is used to the treatment she gets around the Eighth Region.
And she knows there's nothing she can do about it other than break into her huge smile and punish the opponent the best she can.
Such was the case last Wednesday at Collins High School. The Titans had to believe they were at least Anderson's equal, maybe even a bit better than the Lady Bearcats in 2017. After all, Anderson has been playing just a bit above .500 against a rugged schedule while Collins had routed Oldham County two nights before.
A mistrial was declared Monday afternoon in the trial of a man charged with attempting to murder a police officer.
Circuit Court Judge Charles Hickman declared the mistrial shortly after a break, but did not elaborate on the reason.
Commonwealth's Attorney Laura Witt Donnell said afterward that a potential witness in the trial was seen speaking to a juror during the break, prompting the judge's decision.
When the illegal immigrant charged with seriously injuring a Lawrenceburg family in a DUI-related wreck in 2015 is eventually freed from jail, federal immigration officials want to take him into custody.
That isn't likely to happen because, like so-called "sanctuary cities," the Shelby County Detention Center, which houses Anderson County prisoners, refuses to honor detainer requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Instead, the jail releases criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets before ICE can come get them.
A Lawrenceburg man apparently took his own life last Thursday after setting his home and an outbuilding on fire on Enterprise Road.
Family members said Robert "Bobby" Bowling Jr. suffered from years of poor health leading up to his death, which sparked an all-stations response from the Anderson County Fire Department.
When firefighters arrived, they found both buildings nearly flattened by fire and Bowling slumped over the wheel of his nearby pickup truck, dead from an apparent self-inflected gunshot wound.
Spring practice in high school football can be deceptive, but Thursday's Red-White game at Anderson County High School showed the Bearcats potentially have some weapons they did not have last fall.
"What I liked was a lot of different players contributing," Anderson coach Mark Peach said. "With the mix of our returning players with our new additions gives us better team speed and also helps with the depth."
Thursday, April 22, 1937
Three Anderson County students at the Kentucky Female Orphan School at Midway made the honor roll. They were Louise Catlett, Gee; Lorane Catlett, Lawrenceburg; and Worliaden Gillis, Sinai.
Former Lawrenceburg police officer Clay Crouch was not fired for disciplinary reasons, The Anderson News has learned, but just what that reason is remains unclear.
In a termination letter obtained via an open records request, Mayor Sandy Goodlett told Crouch that the decision to end his employment with the city "is not disciplinary in nature," although the actual explanation for firing Crouch was blacked out in the letter.

moon chant
It was the weight of the stars that woke her; specks of light thin in the sky, like the air above the mountains. Appa groaned beneath her, one of the nighttime sounds that had taken the place of ice creaking and settling, and Sokka ahead, on the mount, sang softly. She closed her eyes and strained for the chant somewhere in the wind, remembered at the rolling pitch: their mother singing the moon chant.
(Where is the moon? lost with the stars /
where is the moon? wed to the sun /
will she come home? when she is dark)
Katara brushed hair from her eyes and just looked, for a moment: stars brighter than she'd seen even in the darkest months at home, the moon here nearly as full as a woman heavy with child.
Her heart stung.
"Are you afraid?"
His voice was soft and she turned to face him, not knowing if he had spoken, really, but smiling all the same. More than anything she thought he needed smiles. He twitched the fingers of his outstretched hand, looked down at his palm and then back to Katara. A corner of his mouth worked.
"Not really," she said, voice a murmur. She felt heavy, still, with sleep. Katara quirked another smile, one Aang returned for a moment. "Just tired."
"I'm tired, too," Aang said, curving his fingers into a fist. The moon caught the tattoo on his forehead, lighting it a ghostly blue. He fell silent, then looked at her again, eyes bright and intent. "You don't have to lie. It won't hurt me."
She reached her hand out, just brushing her fingertips over his small knuckles. "A little," she said, finally. "I know it's a great adventure, like in the chants. That I'm lucky to go on a journey like this, and to see things we don't even have stories for."
"But you're afraid," Aang echoed, for her. His fingers unfurled and fumbled for hers. Their hands clasped, palms together and her thumb beneath his, dark and peach; warm. "Still. You're afraid."
"What if I never see home again?" she whispered. "I keep thinking."
"You don't have to go home," Aang said, suddenly, fiercely. "We're family."
Her heart stung, again, at the twist to his face: small, lonely, sad. Maybe as much as the thought of never going home, staying like the moon in her mother's chant, a girl who was lost in the heavens and married to the sun.
Aang's face shone stark and young in the moonlight.
"I couldn't," she said. She held his hand, tight, and turned to the stars again.
She felt Aang's grip tense, and loosen as he moved closer, arm folding to his side. "Can I go home with you?" he asked.
Katara moved to face him, pressing her forehead, gently, to his when he looked at her.
"Yes," she said. She smiled.
The corner of Aang's mouth twitched again, and he smiled, too: white teeth and hope.
"Hey!" Sokka's voice carried across Oppa's back, exasperated. "If you don't wanna sleep, you take flying duty."
"Sleeping!" Aang called and immediately rolled away from Katara, flopping onto his stomach and mock-snoring.
Sokka muttered - "yeah, yeah" - faint on the wind.
Katara closed her eyes.
She smiled into the dark. "What?" she asked.
"Thank-you," Aang said.
Sokka was chanting again, the same rolling pitch and a different song, shoulders hunched to the stars.
(Where is the sun? home with the moon /
where is the sun? bright in the sky /
will he come down? he and the moon)

The aim of this study was to assess the cost-utility of palivizumab versus no prophylaxis in the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infection among high-risk preterm infants.
We used and adapted a pre-existent model in which two cohorts of patients received palivizumab or no prophylaxis. The patients were followed for their expected lifetimes. The economic evaluation was conducted from the perspective of the Italian National Health Service. We considered Life-Years Gained (LYGs), Quality-Adjusted Life-Years (QALYs) and direct medical costs (pharmacological treatment, hospitalization, recurrences for wheezing, etc.). LYGs and QALYs were based on the results of a double blind cohort study with prospective follow-up and direct medical costs were based on Italian treatment patterns. Benefits and costs were discounted at 3%. Costs were assessed in 2007 Euros. Sensitivity and threshold analysis on key clinical and economic parameters were performed.
For the two cohorts, the expected life-years (per patient) with palivizumab versus no prophylaxis were 29.842 and 29.754 years, respectively. Quality-adjusted life years (per patient) with palivizumab were 29.202, and for no prophylaxis were 29.043. The expected cost (per patient) was € 6,244.20 with palivizumab and € 4,867.70 with no prophylaxis. We calculated for palivizumab versus no prophylaxis the incremental cost per LYG and per QALY gained. It was € 15,568.65 and € 8,676.74, respectively.
This study suggests that, compared with no prophylaxis, palivizumab is cost-effective in the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infection among high risk preterm infants.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the most common cause of viral respiratory tract infections in infancy. [1] The common presentation of RSV on infants are lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonias and bronchiolitis occurring usually during the first two years of life. [2–6]
In Italy about 4–5,000 RSV-infected, high-risk, preterm infants (gestational age < 36 weeks, with or without bronchopulmonary dysplasia [BPD]) are hospitalized every year. A proportion of these infants require admission to intensive care units due to severity of the condition and the level of care needed. [7] Mortality rates in hospitalized infants are high, reaching almost 4% during the first year of life. [8]
Several prospective clinical studies have moreover demonstrated a strong correlation between RSV and recurrent wheezing/asthma episodes. These studies have more specifically noted that the airway hyperreactivity rate is higher by 50%–100% in RSV-infected infants compared to non-infected children.[9] Presence of recurrent wheezing episodes was observed through the age of 11 years, possibly extending throughout early adolescence.[4, 6]
In these past few years, the launch of the intramuscular humanized monoclonal antibody, palivizumab, has added to the therapeutic options available for RSV prophylaxis. This molecule demonstrated clinical efficacy and satisfactory tolerability. [10–13]
In consideration of the above, Simoes et al. [14] conducted a double blind cohort study with prospective follow-up to verify whether administration of palivizumab in high-risk preterm infants was capable not only of preventing RSV infections but also of reducing the number of possible subsequent recurrent wheezing episodes. Incidence rates of physician-diagnosed recurrent wheezing episodes over the 2-year duration of the study in preterm patients not requiring RSV hospitalization were noted to be significantly lower in the group of preterm infants receiving palivizumab prophylaxis rather than in children with no prophylaxis, showing rates of 8% versus 16%, respectively (p = 0,011).
In consideration of the findings obtained by Simoes et al. [14], it was considered appropriate to update the results of a prior cost-effectiveness analysis [15] comparing palivizumab versus absence of prophylaxis in the prevention of RSV infections in preterm infants of different gestational ages (less than 33 weeks, and 33 to 35 weeks) with or without complications (BPD).
The present study intended to assess quality-adjusted and non-adjusted incremental cost-effectiveness ratios per year of life for palivizumab versus non-prophylaxis in the prevention of RSV infections in high-risk preterm infants.
The incremental cost-effectiveness analysis (Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio – ICER) was conducted from the perspective of the National Health System (NHS) taking into account the direct health care expenditure assessed in 2007 euros. Life-years (LY) and QALYs (Quality-Adjusted Life-Years) are the two outcomes assessed by the decision-making model. As a lifetime horizon was used in the study, a 3% discount rate was applied both to expenditure and outcomes. In particular, costs associated with prophylaxis and absence of prophylaxis were assessed for the first two years after enrollment.
The course of the "Prophylaxis, < 33 weeks" branch foresees that infants may or may not develop an RSV infection with ensuing hospitalization within 12 months post administration of prophylaxis. Based on the severity of the pediatric patient's conditions, he/she may be hospitalized in the ordinary ward (OW) or in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). In either case, OW or ICU, preterm infants might die due to RSV. Subsequently, after the first hospitalization and once again within the 12 months following administration of prophylaxis, survivors might experience infection-related sequelae requiring rehospitalization or leading to death. Finally, patients who survive are followed for further 12 months to assess chances of developing recurrent wheezing episode 24 months after prophylaxis with palivizumab.
On the other hand, in the event pediatric patients are not immediately hospitalized due to RSV infection, the model foresees the possibility of hospitalizations (and the relating respiratory infection-related mortality rate) within the 12-month period following enrollment (administration of prophylaxis) and of recurrent wheezing episodes in the subsequent 24 months.

- probability of developing recurrent wheezing throughout the 24 months following enrolment without palivizumab [14]
- no. of hospitalizations due to respiratory causes during the first 12 months after enrollment
The latter clinical finding was calculated based on the results published by Simoes et al. [14]. The probability of developing recurrent wheezing in patients who were not hospitalized for RSV was noted to be 8% for palivizumab-treated subjects and 16% in subjects who did not receive prophylaxis. The data published by Simoes et al. [14] made it possible to calculate a 17% probability of developing recurrent wheezing in subjects who where hospitalized for RSV and who did not receive prophylaxis (13/76 patients). In order to complete the population of the present simulation model, the decision was taken to set at a conservative 17% the odds of developing recurrent wheezing in the 24 months of follow-up after the enrolment also for RSV-hospitalized patients treated with palivizumab; the odds being equal to the probability for patients without prophylaxis (Table 2).
Use of Resources
As with the original model, the use of resources refers to administration of prophylaxis, any hospitalizations required to treat RSV infections and treatment for recurrent wheezing.
The present decision-making model, in accordance with the original study [15], has provided an estimate of life-years based on the various mortality odds associated with the different probabilistic nodes for patients with or without prophylaxis.

The € 3,099.84 cost for prophylaxis with palivizumab was calculated based on NHS reimbursements rates [18], and on the administration scheme foreseeing a recommended dosage of 15 mg per kilogram. The model is based on a palivizumab administration scheme of one 50 mg vial/month for the first three months and one 100 mg vial/month for the subsequent two months, for an overall cost of € 3,099.84. The overall dosage was calculated based on a conservative usage hypothesis, in other words expenditure includes also any unused active principle.
Appreciation of hospitalization-related costs was based on the Interregional tariff agreement (Tariffa Unica Convenzionale). [19] In particular, with respect to RSV infection hospitalization in ordinary wards, DRG 98 was taken into account – Bronchitis and asthma, age < 18 years – equal to € 1,328.22, whereas for RSV admission to Intensive Care, reference was made to DRG 475- Diagnoses relating to the respiratory system with mechanical ventilation – equal to € 8,158.90. Finally for hospitalizations occurring for lower respiratory tract infections subsequent to the first hospitalization, DRG 81 – Respiratory infections and inflammations, age < 18 year – equal to € 3,729.54.

Sensitivity analyses
In order to test the robustness of the estimates resulting from the decision-making model [21] a series of univariate analyses were performed on the variables producing the greatest impact on the results of the simulation model: palivizumab dosage scheme, annual mean cost for a patient with recurrent wheezing and probability of developing recurrent wheezing within 24 months post-enrollment. In the first case (palivizumab dosage) the univariate analysis was conducted based on the assumption of a prophylaxis scheme with five monthly 100 mg injections, contrary to the base case scenario (three 50 mg administrations and two 100 mg administrations). The annual mean cost for a patient with recurrent wheezing changed based on the limits of the respective Confidence Interval (CI 95%, € 1,054.34 – € 1,399.42), whereas the probability of developing recurrent wheezing within 24 months post-enrolment was adjusted by ± 10% compared to its base value [21] assuming the worst case scenario for palivizumab (+10% [least advantageous] compared to the base value for the "Prophylaxis" branch and -10% [more advantageous] for the "Non prophylaxis" branch).
Finally, a threshold analysis was conducted on the probability of an RSV hospitalization occurring in patients receiving palivizumab prophylaxis. This analysis intended to identify which value of this parameter would show an incremental cost per life year (quality weighted and non-quality weighted) equal to € 50.000 in the simulation model, considering the latter value to represent the threshold below which a therapy would be considered acceptable.

Amongst those taken into account, the parameter that most affects the variability of incremental cost-effectiveness ratios is the palivizumab dosage scheme. When mean data ("Total") are referred to, the univariate analyses conducted on this parameter show an increase of ICER versus base values by 62.8% both per LY and QALY (Table 8).
Threshold analyses
In the first case (preterm BPD infants) (figure 3) the threshold level (for hospitalizations) at which palivizumab shows an incremental cost per LY of € 50,000 is 13.3% (increased by 137.5% compared to the 5.6% base value), whereas for QALYs such value rises to 18.6% (+ 232.1% compared to the base value).
In the second case (infants with gestational age < 33 weeks) (figure 4) the threshold level at which palivizumab shows incremental values per LY of € 50,000 is 5.6% (increased by 180% compared to the 2% base value), rising to 10.8% for QALYs (+440% compared to base values).
Finally, the third case (children whose gestational age ranges between 33 and 35 weeks) (figure 5) points out a 4.3% threshold level at which Palivizumab shows an incremental cost per LY of € 50,000 (increased by 186.7% compared to the 1.5% base value), whereas said rate rises to 10.4% for QALYs (+ 593.3% compared to base value).
The present analysis assessed efficacy and costs of prophylaxis with palivizumab versus absence of prophylaxis in the prevention of RSV infections in high-risk preterm infants. The (incremental) cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the perspective of the National Health System, updating and adapting a pre-existing lifetime decision-making model [15]. We wish to point out that as in the previously published model, RSV infection mortality during the first hospitalization was estimated based on the results of the IMPACT study: mortality rates were noted to be 0.2% and 0.0% in subjects who received palivizumab prophylaxis and subjects who did not receive prophylaxis, respectively [15]. Other probability rates of occurrence of the events investigated in the present study are also the same ones used in the original model [15], with the exception of the odds of developing recurrent wheezing within 24 months post-enrolment, data deriving from Simoes study [14].
We wish to briefly describe the changes made to the original model. Costs associated with high-risk preterm patients refer to 24 months after enrollment instead of 14 years so as to uniform the financial evaluation to the new data available in literature [14]. Palivizumab administration scheme was changed, with three 50 mg vials and two 100 mg vials instead of the five 100 mg vials administered in the first model. Finally, all of the health care resources used by the patient were revaluated based on year 2007 costs and fees.
As regards general results, patients receiving palivizumab prophylaxis show better efficacy in terms both of LY (+ 0.088) and QALY (+ 0.159) compared to those who did not receive any prophylaxis. The best efficacy result achieved by palivizumab is confirmed also when differentiating patients per gestational age and presence of BPD.
On the other hand, in terms of the health care resources used, the mean cost per patient receiving prophylaxis (€ 6,244.20) was higher (+28.3%) compared to the estimated cost per patient without prophylaxis (€ 4,867.70). Therefore, due to the greater efficacy and greater costs associated with palivizumab versus the comparator (absence of prophylaxis), it was necessary to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio per LY and QALY.
The calculation of the incremental cost per life year gained was based on an overall mean cost per patient of € 6,244.20 for palivizumab and of € 4,867.70 for absence of prophylaxis, with a mean survival of 29.842 years and 29.754 years, respectively. The incremental cost for prophylaxis (€ 1,376.50) was thus compared to an incremental efficacy of 0.088 years, leading to a cost per life year gained of € 15,568.65. In the case of the incremental cost per QALY the same mean total costs were recorded per patient (€ 6,244.20 and € 4,867.70), with however different outcomes. Palivizumab is characterized by 29.202 QALYs and absence of prophylaxis is associated with 29.043 QALYs. Incremental efficacy in this case is equal to 0.159 QALYs; therefore the incremental cost per QALY is € 8,676.74. Taking into account patient subgroups, the incremental cost effectiveness ratio per LY ranges between € 4,332.29 and € 28,417.08, whereas those per QALY range between € 2,731.81 and € 14,937.32.
All incremental costs calculated in this paper were finally compared against internationally acknowledged threshold values, which reflect the decision-making bodies' willingness to pay in order to achieve additional health units. Several international studies addressed the issue and established threshold values [22–25] and € 50,000 were set as the threshold below which a therapy is acceptable. Incremental costs per life year gained and per QALY calculated for palivizumab versus the absence of prophylaxis were always noted to be below the aforesaid threshold. The incremental cost per LY or per QALY of palivizumab was quite different observing the results of the three infant groups. The 33–35 weeks infant group showed the higher ICER per LY (€ 28,417.08) and per QALY (€ 14,937.32). If we considered a more restricted threshold value (< € 50,000), this third infant group (33–35 weeks) could be included in the prophylaxis programs, provided additional risk factors are present.
The univariate analyses conducted on several clinical and financial parameters taken into consideration in the model confirmed the robustness of the results, producing ICERs that were always below € 50,000. Also the threshold analysis conducted on the probability of an RSV hospitalization occurring for a patient receiving palivizumab prophylaxis estimated that to reach an incremental cost per LY or per QALY exceeding € 50,000 the efficacy of palivizumab would have to drop to non-realistic levels, i.e., down to efficacy levels equal to or even lower than those for patients without prophylaxis.
These results must be compared with those generated by other studies. Nuijten et al. [26] conducted in the United Kingdom an incremental cost effectiveness analysis for palivizumab in the prophylaxis of RSV infections in preterm infants with gestational age < 36 weeks and the possible presence of complications such as BPD or CHD (Congenital Heart Disease). The assessment was conducted from the perspective of the UK NHS (National Health Service), comparing administration of palivizumab to absence of prophylaxis. Applying a discount (3.5%) both to costs and outcome, an incremental cost per QALY equal to £ 16,720 for children with gestational age < 36 weeks and for children with BPD and an ICER per QALY of £ 6,664 for children with CHD. The results of the study conducted by Nuijten et al. [26] suggest that from the NHS viewpoint, palivizumab is cost effective compared to the therapeutic alternative represented by absence of prophylaxis.
Lazaro et al. [27] assessed efficacy and costs of palivizumab in the prevention of RSV infections in preterm children with gestational age in the 32–35 week range with two or more risk factors. The study was conducted from the perspective of the Spanish health care system, with absence of prophylaxis as the comparator. The Authors, thanks to a decision-making model, have calculated (with a 3% discount applied to efficacy and costs) an incremental cost effectiveness ratio per QALY of € 13,849. Once again, palivizumab was noted to be cost-effective versus absence of prophylaxis.
The study conducted in the USA by Elhassan et al. [28] intended to assess both the cost-effectiveness ratio of palivizumab as RSV prophylaxis in preterm children without BPD and the impact of decreasing recurrent wheezing risks in patients receiving prophylaxis on the cost effectiveness ratio. The Authors constructed two decision-making models, one of which took into account also risks of recurrent wheezing after an RSV infection and another one that did not consider this risk. The patients included in the model were preterm children with gestational age ranging from 26 to 32 weeks. Prophylaxis with palivizumab was compared against absence of prophylaxis. The results of the study conducted by Elhassan et al. [28] estimated that administration of palivizumab was cost effective only when taking into account also the benefits yielded by a decreased risk of recurrent wheezing in RSV infection patients.
The results of the present review present limitations and therefore several considerations must be taken into account when interpreting the data. As the study conducted by Simoes et al.[14] has estimated the probabilities of developing recurrent wheezing episodes during 24 months of follow-up after the enrollment in preterm children with gestational age equal or less than 35 weeks, with or without RSV hospitalization, the present model is based on the assumption that such probability was identical for all children, without differentiating based on gestational age and the presence of BPD. Moreover, since the study performed by Simoes et al.[14] did not report the odds of developing recurrent wheezing in preterm children receiving prophylaxis with RSV hospitalization, for this group of patients the same percentage (17%) calculated for preterm children with RSV hospitalization not receiving prophylaxis was conservatively adopted. To assess the impact of this double assumption, a sensitivity analysis was performed to test the probability of developing recurrent wheezing during the 24 months of follow-up post-enrollment, with a ± 10% change of the base value, assuming the worst case scenario for palivizumab; also in this case, the incremental cost effectiveness ratios per LY and per QALY show values lower than € 50.000.
Another limitation of the study might be that a pre-existing simulation model was adopted for the comparison between the two alternatives, and was adapted with clinical data deriving from international literature. This choice might be justified by the fact that to date no studies are available providing national data suitable for constructing the model population.
The dosage scheme (three 50 mg vials + two 100 mg vials) adopted herein for prophylaxis administration is different from that used in the original model.[15] In support thereof, a dosage of 15 mg of active principle per kg of weight was considered, assuming that average weight of the preterm infant in the first three months of life was less than 3.4 kg, thus such as to justify the administration of a 50 mg vial; moreover the model conservatively included also the non-administered drug. Moreover, by means of the sensitivity analysis, also the five 100 mg vials administration assumption was taken into consideration, and also in this case ICERs per LY and per QALY remained lower than the € 50,000 threshold.
Finally, as already pointed out by the original study, a further limitation might be the use of average costs referring to an adult sample for the appreciation of the annual mean cost for recurrent wheezing of pediatric patients. However, comparing the cost included in the present model (€ 1,226.88) against that of children suffering from asthma (US$ 1,129) within a study conducted in the United Stated in 1999 [29], we have reason to believe that the data we used are conservative.
Based on the results of the present cost-effectiveness assessment it therefore appears possible to state that compared to absence of prophylaxis, the administration of palivizumab in preterm infants of varying gestational ages, with or without complications, does improve survival (quality-weighted or not) at reasonable costs in terms of resources covered by the NHS, when compared to internationally accepted threshold values. However, there is not general consensus concerning palivizumab prophylaxis for preterm infants born between 32 and 35 weeks of gestational age without chronic lung disease and haemodynamically significant congenital heart disease.

Radhika Beach Resort is a getaway to enjoy some sun, sand and surf. The hotel is located right across Nagoa Beach. It has well furnished rooms, a multi-cuisine restaurant, bar, conference hall, utility store and a playground for children. The swimming pool, health club and indoor games offer relaxation. Diu Airport is 1 km from the airport while the nearest railway station is at Veraval (90 kms). A travel desk is available as well.
Excellent maintained property but quite expensive both for stay and food. Location is nice just opposite nice and clean Nagoa beach. Much low choice in sea food in restaurant although its on a coast. No tea/ coffee making machine in room is anegative. Over all a satisfying experience but at steep cost.
access: close to beach . can walk to beach in a minute. location : not a noisy area though the beach is so close. parking: ample Front desk : very helpful .gave us a map about what to see around DIU. restaurant: serves excellent food at very reasonable rates .you do not need to go out for lunches and dinners. would have preferred if they were serving buffet for lunch and dinner as well. overall : wonderful stay.
Our trip here went really well amidst the peaceful & serene ambiance of Diu. Radhika Beach Resort was a very good choice to make, as the amount we payed was justified. We had a smooth accommodation added by the graceful service the staff provided. I would like to appreciate the neatness, the staff had taken good care to maintain it. Also the food served met our taste. A recommendable property for sure.

Wrapping presents with 10 chipolatas instead of 10 fingers isn't easy. My hands were perfectly normal until the post arrived this morning. In among the Christmas cards was a small package from my mother in Killinghurst. It contained a bedraggled, slightly slimy, distinctly smelly bunch of leaves that looked suspiciously like stinging nettles. They were stinging nettles.
Wrapping presents with 10 chipolatas instead of 10 fingers isn't easy. My hands were perfectly normal until the post arrived this morning. In among the Christmas cards was a small package from my mother in Killinghurst. It contained a bedraggled, slightly slimy, distinctly smelly bunch of leaves that looked suspiciously like stinging nettles. They were stinging nettles.
The accompanying note explained that, having read an article in Tuesday's newspaper about the instant relief that stinging nettles give to arthritic joints, my mother had waded into the field across the road (parts of West Sussex are still underwater) to get me some. "Rub them well into the affected parts. And after the stinging stops you'll feel incredible relief. It said so in the paper. Must go. Badger is ill and Heather Rush is taking me to Arundel.''
My mother gets more like a character from The Wind in the Willows every day. Even at this time of year she spends more time in the garden than in the house, poking fitfully at roots with a cleft stick, peering into hollow trees, spying on moles. At night she sits at the kitchen table, drawing up elaborate schemes to murder squirrels, in particular the terrorist who raids her assortment of bird-feeders to steal the nuts. She swears she has seen it hang upside down by its tail and unscrew the butterfly nut fastening the base of the hopper with its teeth.
Last time we went down, she didn't hear the bell. She was crouched behind the bedroom curtains with a loaded .22 rifle aimed at the bird table. "This will teach it to mess with my nuts,'' she snarled over her shoulder. "Help yourself to tea - I'll be down in a minute.''
Curious motorists slowed down to watch my mother picking nettles in the rain. I dare say some of them thought she was a witch, especially if the cat was with her. They'd have had second thoughts if she'd looked up from her task, because she is Burmese. Last summer a rambler walking past the cottage stopped to stare incredulously as my straw-hatted mother hacked viciously at ground elder with a billhook. "My God,'' he gasped. "It's The Killing Fields!''
Remember that Brothers Grimm fairy story about a princess whose brothers are turned into swans by an enchanter? To save them, she has to stay mute for 10 years and knit 20 cloaks from stinging nettles to turn them back into princes. I rubbed the nettles on my finger joints, watched them swell, felt no relief and managed to stay mute for less than five seconds.
My mother's always had a thing about stings. She once begged me to see an alternative medicine practitioner who thought that injecting bee stings into your pupils dramatically improved your vision. Mothers care. Well, some mothers do. I'm unequivocally Jewish when it comes to feeding and worrying about my children, but I have friends who can't wait to see the back of theirs.
"It's not that I don't love them,'' said Sarah, a single mother-of-three; "it's just that they're preventing me from doing what I was meant to do.'' "And what's that?" I said. She didn't know yet, but it certainly wasn't looking after three computer-obsessed teenagers.
A bachelor friend told me that once, on a bus between Athens and Thessalonika, he chanced to look out of the window and saw his elderly mother, who he thought was at home in Derbyshire, standing by the side of the road. He yelled to the driver to stop, jumped out, and ran back to where she was standing. "What on earth are you doing here?'' he said. "I'm waiting for your Aunt Jean to pick some flowers,'' she replied, as matter-of-factly as if they were outside Woolworths in Bakewell. "Hadn't you better get back on your bus?''
Everyone says Christmas is for children. Quite right. Christmas is when children should remember how wonderful their mothers are, how hard they work and how much help they need. I certainly do. There's probably still time to knit a fairy-tale bed jacket, dark green and slightly smelly, for a little old lady I know. Mum's the word.Reuse content
