And may you have 100,000 more :-)

Malke, I'm guessing my next 100,000 will come much more quickly. I was going to call it exponential growth, but I suppose it's logistic. Now I want to think about where you start seeing the difference between the two.

Alina Powell tells the dispatcher that Josh is troubled with all the abuse he's getting from everyone. She said Josh sent her a cryptic message.
Sister: "E-mails and stuff and he left me a voicemail that got forwarded.."
Dispatch: "And what did they say?"
Sister: "Something about he can't live without his sons. (inaudiable) And goodbye"
Dispatch: "And this was the Josh who has been in the media, right".
Sister: "Yes. The one that has been being abused by everyone. I... I... (crying - inaudiable).
Dispatch: "Did he say he was going to harm himself?"
Sister: "No, he didn't say... he never said specifically he was going to harm himself. He just (inaudiable)."
Dispatch: "He just kept saying goodbye?"
Sister: "Talking weird (crying)"
Dispatcher: "Alina, calm down. I understand you're upset but the more you're upset the less helpful it is for me, okay?"
Sister: "I mean, I know the abuse has been hard on him. The abuse has been extremely difficult."
Dispatcher: "What else did the e-mails say?"
Sister: "(crying)"
Dispatcher: "Alina, I need you to calm down, okay? What else did the e-mails say?"
Sister: "Nothing. He just... He just... He sent several e-mails saying stuff about how to handle his properties and how to handle his utilities. I don't know. It was just an e-mail"
Dispatcher: "Okay."
Sister: "They start a while ago. I didn't think anything of it because there was some weird e-mail that came in this morning that I dismissed and it didn't say anything from him. It was just some sort of forward or something."
Dispatcher: "Listen I have a call into the address we think he is at, but I need to know if you can give us a confirmation on the address. Can you do that and give us a call back?
Sister: "The only way to do that is if I drive over there and I'm terrified to drive over there."
Dispatcher: "Well we are sending an officer so we need to know where we going. We aren't asking you to make contact with him. We'll have the officer do that."
Sister: "I am not afraid of him. He has never hurt me. I am afraid of seeing something I don't want to see."

Chat with John Isner
Isner, who stands 6-9, joins the chat just after stepping off the court at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston. The tournament runs through April 12.
Isner is in his third season as a pro, after having played collegiately at Georgia. As a senior in 2007, he led the Bulldogs to an NCAA championship, while being ranked No. 1 for most of the season. When he turned pro in the summer of 2007, Isner was ranked 839. By the end of the season, he was up to No. 106 in the world. Currently, he is ranked 82nd.

We've got John!
patrick (San Diego, CA)
What adjusments have you had(or have to) make to the ATP tour from Georgia in almost 2 years?
John Isner (3:34 PM)
I guess you have to be a little more professional with how you go about things. At Georgia, the little things were done for me, like flights and things like that. Now, I have to take care of my flights and I'm traveling by myself. It's an adjustment I'm still working on.
Wes (Idaho)
As a diehard Georgia Bulldogs fan, do you think Stafford will go number one?
John Isner (3:35 PM)
From what I've read, it looks like he will. I know Mel Kiper says that. I think he's worth the No. 1 pick. He's tall. He has a cannon for an arm and he's surprisingly quick. Detroit could either build around him or build around an OL, but I hope they take Stafford No. 1.
Gary (Phoenix)
happy with your performance today?
John Isner (3:36 PM)
I am very happy. I started off slow. I haven't played a match at 10 a.m. since juniors. I started slow and came back. I really picked up my game at 4-3 in the second. I was very happy with how I played.
Jake (Philly)
What is the strongest part of your game?
John Isner (3:37 PM)
I would have to say it's my serve. Other than that my forehand. My serve and my forehand are the two shots I think I need to go for me to be successful. Also, I think I'm in pretty good shape now, which is an asset for me.
Brad (Gadsden,Alabama)
John, Do you have any pre-match rituals?
John Isner (3:38 PM)
I really don't. I don't think I do anything out of the ordinary. I always take a shower before a match and I like to stretch out a lot. I'll throw my iPod on. I like to go out on the court after having been breaking a sweat, whether it's riding the bike or running around.
Brendan (Foley, NC)
How was your serve today?
John Isner (3:39 PM)
I served well, except for the first game in the whole match. I got broken in that game, but I wasn't broken in the rest of the match. I didn't hit a lot of big flat hard serves, but I kept him off balance. I had some kick serves, which got up pretty high.
Andy (Austin)
You might play Sam Querrey in your next match. Are you guys friends? What's it like when you do play a friend of yours on you tour?
John Isner (3:40 PM)
Yeah, I'm really really good friends with Sam. We hang out quite often. Before Indian Wells, I went to his house and practiced with him for a couple of days before going to the tournament. It would be weird if I played him. I played Mardy Fish earlier this year, who is also a friend of mine. You want to get fired up out there, but you don't want to cross any lines. But Sam and I are such good friends that it wouldn't be a problem.
Steven (NJ)
Do you believe you can become the top american male?
John Isner (3:41 PM)
Yeah, I really do. I kind of have to have that mentality. With the way I'm playing now, I'm working my way up to that level. I've got a long way to go. I feel like I have the right crew in my corner. I'm working with a new trainer. I have a new coach. I have a good camp. If I can continue to do the things I'm doing now, I think I have a shot at being one of the top Americans.
Sam (Galvenston, TX)
Did I see you at Wrestlemania on Sunday?!?! What other sports do you like?
John Isner (3:43 PM)
Yeah, I was there at Wrestlemania on Sunday. I actually went with Sam Querrey, which is funny. He's not as big a fan as I am, but he went along. It was an amazing experience. I am actually a big fan and I know a lot of people make fun of me for that. I like every sport. The one sport I don't watch is tennis. Hockey, NFL. Baseball. I don't have a team, there's none in North Carolina.
Mark (Fairfax, VA)
It seems to me that with just some minor adjustments/improvements to your game that you could start going deeper into larger tourneys. What do you think you need improve?
John Isner (3:44 PM)
I think I've kind of shown a little bit of that form in these last four weeks. I thik I can still improve on my movement on the court. I can still get stronger. Just continue, it's kind of cliche, but put the work in on the practice court.
Mookie (Brooklyn)
I used to live with your boy Foley in DC, you actually like that kid?
John Isner (3:45 PM)
Brendan Foley, I go way back with that kid. Foley was one of my older brother's friends growing up. I still keep in touch with him a lot.
Brendan (Foley, NC)
I know you are a big Carolina Panthers fan? Do you think they will trade Steve Smith? He was getting pretty thuggish.
John Isner (3:46 PM)
Uhh, no. I don't think we're going to trade Steve Smith. I hope we get rid of Peppers. It seems to me that he doesn't want to play for Carolina any more. We placed the tag on him and he's going to have such a large salary. But I don't think we trade Steve Smith.
Steiny (NYC)
What was it like attending the University of Georgia?
John Isner (3:47 PM)
That was an absolute blast. It was the best four years of my life. Coach Diaz at Georgia is one of the best coaches around. Going into college I was really raw and not that good of a tennis player. That's where I developed my game. I knew I could do well on the pro tour. They really set me up for everything I'm doing today.
John Isner (3:48 PM)
Thanks for the questions. I'm really thankful that you're all out there supporting me.

Google's local reach rarely exceeds its grasp. Google signed a new partner that raises the stakes in local search and puts IYPs on alert.
ReachLocal, a provider of local online marketing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), will announce a strategic alliance with Google today to become an authorized reseller of Google's AdWords PPC advertising program.
The deal gives ReachLocal a leg up on competitors in local search who won't benefit from the same status in the Google ecosystem. There's a long track record of authorized resellers of search engine advertising products succeeding in the hyper-competitve PPC channel.
While ReachLocal, like many SEMs offers customer service and AdWords account set-up, management, and optimization, the firm's competitive advantage in the marketplace is a dedicated direct sales force. Many companies in the highly-fragmented local search space -- including the search engines -- cannot market to local search prospects cost-effectively.
Small and medium-sized enterprises enabled Google AdWords to leapfrog past Overture (now Yahoo Search Marketing) as the leading pay-per-click (PPC).
AdWords user-friendly interface and self-serve model gave local businesses a national platform to market their products and generate leads.
Then big brands and national advertisers woke up. Small and medium-sized enterprises felt the squeeze of higher keyword costs and lower ROI. Bid management platforms gave national advertisers an advantage with sophisticated bidding tactics based on ROI.
Now even small and medium-sized enterprises can manage PPC with return on advertising spend goals.
The Google AdWords reseller agreement won't solve the problem of cost-effectively managing search marketing campaigns for business owners who have small PPC budgets but high ROI expectations.
ReachLocal's Google agreement steps up the competition for SMBs -- and that's great news for local search.

Sadly, we just returned home from a lovely 4 day weekend at this perfect condo! We were in close walking distance to shopping, food, and the beach! Everything looked just as it was represented in the pictures and the floor plan is great. The master having some separation from the rest of the house, thanks to the smartly designed hallway, is very good for early or late sleepers. Though the pool does get a lot of shade later into the afternoon..we had perfect weather and enjoyed it immensely. Beds were very comfy, everything was clean, and I loved the decor. My only criticism, and it's a tiny one, would be the ice cube trays. The ice did not want to come out :). I will add that 2 the other units were unoccupied during our stay, and we did have the pool to ourselves.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children, age 55+.
Owner response: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We will take care of the uncooperative ice trays when we go down to the condo next month. :)

Beautiful, charming, clean, affordable, very comfortable...I can't tell you how nice this place was! We went there to spend a week for our 1st family vacation with our 13 month old son and also in celebration of our 12 year wedding anniversary. The place was perfect! We rented a high chair and a crib and brought along some outlet covers and even though we had to really watch our son closely as he is a walker & a "climbing machine".. he just did fantastic! Everything amenity wise is very close and easy to get to. The pool was perfect. The beach was a block away. Food/restaurants were great. Stroller rides were perfect, since everything was so close. Lots of trips to the pool and beach everyday made for one very tired little boy. :-) Very easy and pretty quick to get to from Tampa. The owners were good to work with. I can't stress enough the cleanliness of the condo! I would go back again anytime. Thank you for such a wonderful 1st family vacation!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children.
Owner response: We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Please keep us in mind for future rentals.

The condo was just awesome! It was clean, comfortable and convenient! It was just a short walk down the sidewalk to the beach, Publix, and food! There's a great pool, with pool furniture, and a grill. One of the best amenities was the storage room that had everything needed for the beach, like umbrellas, chairs, bikes, and a cooler. It saved so much money not having to buy anything for the beach! It was a great weekend!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, families with young children, age 55+.

As they say in Real Estate, the three most important things are location, location, location. This condo is right in the middle of everything. We walked to the beach, restaurants, grocery store, shops and rode the bikes provided anywhere else we wanted to go. The condo is beautifully decorated and we had everything we needed and more, to make our stay pleasant. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo immensely. Everything was as it was listed on the internet. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. It has a cozy atmosphere, and we were sorry when our week was up. It is so close to the beach and shopping. We used our car only for sightseeing. We hope to stay here again in the near future. The owners were very accomodating, also. It is tastefuly decorated to make it feel more like home.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+.

Excellent Decision to Stay Here!

- Date of stay 07/11/09
- Review Submitted 03/26/10
I was drawn to this condo after seeing the pictures on the internet, and it is one of the rare situations where the reality was as good as the pictures. A fairly recent remodel resulted in an older condo feeling and looking like new. In fact, I only had one complaint about the condo - a queen bed in the master. Being accustomed to a king mattress makes it somewhat difficult to sleep on a queen. And the master bedroom is quite roomy - it could easily accomodate a king bed. However, the master shower more than makes up for the small bed. It is a large, tiled shower, with lots of hot water. The perfect ending to a day at the beach is a nice, hot shower. The great room furniture is comfortable and attractive. There is a washer and dryer in a closet off the deck, which is so nice to have. The guest bedroom has nice twin mattresses. The kitchen is quite small but has all major appliances. There are plenty of dishes for eating on, but not a lot to cook with. I did have to buy a couple of things for cooking , but that was no big deal to me. The location is superb! The condo is right smack in the middle of the island. You have about a 3-4 minute walk to the beach, but all on side-roads, until you have to cross Gulf Drive. The condo pool is small, but since there are only four units, there was usually a little bit of time each day that you could have the pool to yourselves. The owners are so nice and are very easy to work with. Actually, had we not needed a 3-bedroom, we would have loved to rented this unit for the summer of 2010. This is one of the nicest places for the price that you will ever stay in on AMI. Maybe I shouldn't tell you that : )Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car, families with young children.

We purchased the unit after vacationing on Anna Maria for Spring Break 2005. We fell in love with the area. After looking at several properties we decided on Seacrest II because of its central location and private street. After owning for 8+ years we still love the Island and the property location!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Soon after purchasing the condo we gave the entire unit an overhaul. Now everything is fresh and new and we pride ourselves on keeping it up to date and beautiful. We offer many 'extras' other owners do not. For example, we supply beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, a cooler for picnic lunches, bikes and some sporting equipment. We added all these items to make our guests stay more comfortable. We are confident you will enjoy your stay!

The owners, Mark Heatwole, 65, and Sarah Heatwole, 64, purchased this rocky property in California's Santa Barbara County in 1999, according to public records. Mr. Heatwole said they bought the more than 6 acres of raw land for about $400,000. The home took five years to design and build, Mr. Heatwole said, primarily because of the difficulty of building on the difficult terrain. But the stone formations were as important to the couple as the views, he said.
A major reason why the couple decided to build here, despite the difficulty, was the 'spectacular' sandstone rock formations. The building was designed around the massive stones. The property is at an elevation of about 2,100 feet, Mr. Heatwole said, and overlooks the Channel Islands of California.
Mr. Heatwole said they wanted to build a contemporary home that 'fit in' with the surrounding terrain. The house is primarily constructed of glass, steel and stone, and does not include any wood on the exterior. Mr. Heatwole declined to provide the construction cost, but said it 'exceeds the ask.'
Mr. Heatwole says that on a clear day, they can see all eight of the Channel Islands. Slate stone used on the outside is also used inside the home the tie the space together. 'The concept from a design standpoint was an exterior-interior flow,' he said.
The main living area has polished concrete flooring. Large pocket doors with screens open up to the outdoors in the dining room, living room and master bedroom. Mr. Heatwole is a corporate-finance attorney and business executive.
None of the rooms have curtains, Mr. Heatwole says, because 'there is no neighbor that can see this house.' The glass is tinted for sun protection. The main house measures 2,971 square feet and has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There is also a roughly 800-square-foot detached guesthouse.
Some of the rock formations on the property are 'at least four stories high,' said Dave Kent, one of the listing agents. A large part of the design process for the home 'consisted of communing with nature in a raw state,' Mr. Heatwole said.
The house includes energy-efficient features, like solar panels on the roof that supplement their energy use. Water is sourced from a well on the property. From a utilities standpoint, he said, there is only the 'nominal' cost of electricity and propane. And thanks to the mild weather, heating the home is rarely necessary, he said. The kitchen is shown.
Mr. Heatwole said they are selling to be closer to family, and to be closer to his business in Chicago. He said they would most likely purchase a home in the Midwest, but keep a presence in the area.
The home was listed in January for just under $4.4 million with Dave Kent of Sotheby's International Realty and Susan Pate of Village Properties Realtors.

I'm currently working on a svg implementation of ring maps and I am not sure how the rectangles could be automatically placed on concentric circles. There are two conditions to meet:
- distance between neighbouring symbols should remain the same along the circle
- symbols should be placed near the polygon it represents
I'm reading the map coordinates from a json, thus being able to calculate the map center, map's width and height and the centers of all polygons being displayed.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Update: I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I really want an abortion
I had 3 traumatic, emergency c-sections. EXTREMELY terrifying. And I would have STILL not considered murdering an unborn baby because of that!
Quoting Anonymous:
She said they used birth control.
I had a traumatic horrible c-section . That was just terrifying . I have also had a planned , calm abortion.no comparison.
Quoting Anonymous:If this was a possibility, you should have taken measures to PREVENT the pregnancy, NOT end it!
Quoting AquarianPath:Why do people keep saying "you WILL regret it" Most women who abort, do NOT regret their decisions.
OP, I've aborted twice. PM me if you'd like to talk, hon.
Just sharing what happened to me. Not everyone does but same will. Like i said i can understand the OP's stand point. I have had 3 high risk pregnancies and couldn't do a 4th.
Quoting AquarianPath:
Quoting Anonymous:
You will regret it. I had one done at 8 weeks and will regret it forever. But i couldn't do anther high risk pregnancy
i've had two abortions, and don't regret either one. You don't know if she'll regret it or not. The most common emotion after an abortion is relief.
So get one. Why would we care what you do with your vagina? And if you are so terrified of birth that you would abort your child, why wouldn't you sterilize yourself?
Planned c-sections can be much less traumatic, especially if you find an OB who is sensitive to those who have PTSD and other issues surrounding birth. It can be done, although I completely respect that it is your body, and your choice. I would, however, encourage to at least look into this possibility. I know of a few woman on message board I am a member of who have had traumatic birth experiences and have gone on to have other children with different care providers, and I know it has made a huge difference. If you pm me, I can give you the URL of this board. It's not a pro-life board or anything like that, don't worry, in fact, the ladies there are very pro-choice and respectful. They are, however, very wise about issues like this can be a great source of support and encouragement.
In any event, I wish you all the best and respect whatever decision you make. :) I'm sorry you are having a hard time.
It's the same thing with any sort of decision you have to make for yourself. Off topic, but I hear all the time that a girl losing her virginity early she will regret and I don't regret losing mine. They are projecting their feelings on someone else. "Oh, this would make me feel horrible so it must make other people feel horrible."

Abstract: | Introduction: The introduction of high-throughput technologies, also called -omics technologies, into epidemiology has raised the need for high-quality observational studies to reduce several sources of error and bias. Methods: The Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) postgenome cohort study consists of approximately 50,000 women born between 1943 and 1957 who gave blood samples between 2003 and 2006 and filled out a two-page questionnaire. Blood was collected in such a way that RNA is preserved and can be used for gene expression analyses. The women are part of the NOWAC study consisting of 172,471 women 30 to 70 years of age at recruitment from 1991 to 2006 who answered one to three questionnaires on diet, medication use, and lifestyle. In collaboration with the Norwegian Breast Cancer Group, every NOWAC participant born between 1943 and 1957 who is admitted to a collaborating hospital for a diagnostic biopsy or for surgery of breast cancer will be asked to donate a tumor biopsy and two blood samples. In parallel, at least three controls are approached for each breast cancer case in order to obtain blood samples from at least two controls per case. The controls are drawn at random from NOWAC matched by time of follow-up and age. In addition, 400 normal breast tissues as well as blood samples will be collected among healthy women participating at the Norwegian Mammography Screening program at the Breast Imaging Center at the University Hospital of North-Norway, Tromsø. Results: The NOWAC postgenome cohort offers a unique opportunity (a) to study blood-derived gene expression profiles as a diagnostic test for breast cancer in a nested case-control design with adjustment for confounding factors related to different exposures, (b) to improve the reliability and accuracy of this approach by adjusting for an individual's genotype (for example, variants in genes coding for hormone and drug-metabolizing and detoxifying enzymes), (c) to study gene expression profiles from peripheral blood as surrogate tissue to biomonitor defined exposure (for example, hormone) and its association with disease risk (that is, breast cancer), and (d) to study gene variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variations) and environmental exposure (endogenous and exogenous hormones) and their influence on the incidence of different molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Conclusion: The NOWAC postgenome cohort combining a valid epidemiological approach with richness of biological samples should make an important contribution to the study of the etiology and system biology of breast cancer. |

Abstract: | Background: Worldwide, about 287 000 women die each year from mostly preventable complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. A disproportionately high number of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. The Abiye ('Safe Motherhood') project in the Ifedore Local Government Area (LGA) of Ondo-State of Nigeria aimed at improving facility utilization and maternal health through the use of cell phones and generally improved health care services for pregnant women, including Health Rangers, renovated Health Centres, and improved means of transportation. Methods: A one-year sample of retrospective data was collected from hospital records and patients' case files from Ifedore (the project area) and Idanre (control area) and was analyzed to determine healthcare facility utilization rates in each location. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to generate supplemental data. Results: The total facility utilization rate of pregnant women was significantly higher in Ifedore than in Idanre. The facility utilization rate of the primary health care centres was significantly higher in Ifedore than in Idanre. The number of recorded cases of the five major causes of maternal death in the two LGAs was not significantly different, possibly because the project was new. Conclusions: Giving cell phones to pregnant women and generally improving services could increase their utilization of the primary healthcare system. |

Abstract: | Newly developed systemic treatment regimens might lead to improved survival also in the subgroup of breast cancer patients that harbour brain metastases. In order to examine this hypothesis, a matched pairs analysis was performed that involved one group of patients, which were treated after these new drugs were introduced, and one group of patients, which were treated approximately 10 years earlier. The two groups were well balanced for the known prognostic factors age, KPS, extracranial disease status, and recursive partitioning analysis class, as well as for the extent of brain treatment. The results show that the use of systemic chemotherapy has increased over time, both before and after the diagnosis of brain metastases. However, such treatment was performed nearly exclusively in those patients with brain metastases that belonged to the prognostically more favourable groups. Survival after whole-brain radiotherapy has remained unchanged in patients without further active treatment. It has improved in prognostically better patients and especially patients that received active treatment, where the 1-year survival rates have almost doubled. As these patient groups were small, confirmation of the results in other series should be attempted. Nevertheless, the present results are compatible with the hypothesis that improved systemic therapy might contribute to prolonged survival in patients with brain metastases from breast cancer. |

Abstract: | The aim of this study was to summarize and analyse findings from four prior studies on the use of the Internet as a source of health information in five European countries (Norway, Denmark, Germany, Greece, and Portugal). A cross-study comparison of data was performed. All the studies included fit with a trend of a sharp and continuous growth in the use of the Internet for health information access in the major part of the last decade. Importantly, the Internet has become an important mass media source of health information in northern Europe. While the use of the Internet for health information is somewhat less common in the south European countries, its use is also clearly increasing there. We discuss the advantages of cross-study comparisons of data and methodological challenges. As the use of the Internet for health information is likely to peak in some countries in the near future, new population surveys on health information access should focus more on the details of information that is accessed and which sites that are most used and trusted. |

Abstract: | High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is associated with risk of arterial cardiovascular disease but conflicting results have been reported on its role in venous thromboembolic disease. The objective of our study was to investigate the association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and risk of future venous thromboembolism in a prospective cohort recruited from a general population. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein was measured in serum samples from 6,426 men and women, aged 25-84 years, recruited from the Tromsø Study in the period 1994-1995. Incident venous thromboembolism events (n=209) were registered during a median of 12.5 years of follow up. Cox's proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate age- and genderand multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals for total venous thromboembolism, and for provoked and unprovoked venous thromboembolism by increasing levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. There was no increased risk of venous thromboembolism per 1 standard deviation increase in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hazard ratio 1.08; 95% confidence interval 0.95-1.23) or across quartiles of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (P for trend 0.6) in analyses adjusted for age and gender. Further adjustment for body mass index, smoking and diabetes did not alter the risk estimates. Moreover, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was not associated with venous thromboembolism in either gender specific analysis or in separate analyses of provoked and unprovoked venous thromboembolism events. In this prospective study, serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were not associated with future development of venous thromboembolism. Our findings do not suggest a causal role for C-reactive protein in the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism. |

Abstract: | Home mechanical ventilation probably represents the most advanced and complicated type of medical treatment provisioned outside a hospital setting. The aim of this study was both to explore the challenges experienced by health care professionals in community health care services when caring for patients dependent on home mechanical ventilation, continual care and highly advanced technology, and their proposed solutions to these challenges. Using qualitative research methods, a grounded theory influenced approach was used to explore the respondents' experiences and proposed solutions. A total of 34 multidisciplinary respondents from five different communities in Norway were recruited for five focus groups. The core category in our findings was what health care professionals in community health care services experience as "between a rock and a hard place," when working with hospitals, family members, and patients. We further identified four subcategories, "to be a guest in the patient's home," "to be accepted or not," "who decides," and "how much can we take." The main background for these challenges seems to stem from patients living and receiving care in their private homes, which often leads to conflicts with family members. These challenges can have a negative effect on both the community health caregivers' work environment and the community health service's provision of professional care. This study has identified that care of individuals with complex needs and dependent on home mechanical ventilation presents a wide range of immense challenges for community health care services. The results of this study point towards a need to define the roles of family caregivers and health care professionals and also to find solutions to improve their collaboration. The need to improve the work environment for caregivers directly involved in home-care also exists. The study also shows the need for more dialogue concerning eligibility requirements, rights, and limitations of patients in the provision and use of ventilatory support in private homes. |

Abstract: | Increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), also called hyperfiltration, is a proposed mechanism for renal injury in diabetes. The causes of hyperfiltration in individuals without diabetes are largely unknown, including the possible role of borderline hyperglycemia. We assessed whether impaired fasting glucose (IFG; 5.6–6.9 mmol/L), elevated HbA1c, or hyperinsulinemia are associated with hyperfiltration in the general middle-aged population. A total of 1,560 individuals, aged 50–62 years without diabetes, were included in the Renal Iohexol Clearance Survey in Tromsø 6 (RENIS-T6). GFR was measured as single-sample plasma iohexol clearance. Hyperfiltration was defined as GFR >90th percentile, adjusted for sex, age, weight, height, and use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors. Participants with IFG had a multivariable-adjusted odds ratio of 1.56 (95% CI 1.07–2.25) for hyperfiltration compared with individuals with normal fasting glucose. Odds ratios (95% CI) of hyperfiltration calculated for a 1-unit increase in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c, after multivariable-adjustment, were 1.97 (1.36–2.85) and 2.23 (1.30–3.86). There was no association between fasting insulin levels and hyperfiltration. A nonlinear association between FPG and GFR was observed (df = 3, P < 0.0001). GFR increased with higher glucose levels, with a steeper slope beginning at FPG ≥5.4 mmol/L. Borderline hyperglycemia was associated with hyperfiltration, whereas hyperinsulinemia was not. Longitudinal studies are needed to investigate whether the hyperfiltration associated with IFG is a risk factor for renal injury in the general population. |

Abstract: | Background: In three previous Norwegian studies conducted between 1974 and 1993, the annual
incidence rates of hospital admitted head injuries were 236, 200 and 169 per 100,000 population.
The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of head injury in the Stavanger region and to
compare it with previous Norwegian studies.
Methods: All head injured patients referred to Stavanger University Hospital during a one-year period (2003) were registered in a partly prospective and partly retrospective study. The catchment area for the hospital is strictly defined to a local population of 283,317 inhabitants (2003). Results: The annual incidence rate was 207/100,000 population for hospital referred head injury and 157/100,000 population for hospital admitted head injury. High age- and sex specific incidence rates were observed among the oldest, and the highest rate (882/100,000) among men above 90 years. More than 50% of the injuries were caused by falls. Conclusion: Comparison with previous Norwegian studies indicates decreasing annual incidence rates for hospital admitted head injury during the last 30 years. |

Abstract: | Objective To compare the incidence of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) in two time periods, before and after implementing a training programme for improved perineal support aimed at reducing the incidence of obstetric anal sphincter injuries. The secondary aim was to study incidence of obstetric anal sphincter injuries in subgroups defined by risk factors for OASIS. Design Population-based cohort study. Setting University hospital setting in Oslo, Norway. Participants Two cohorts of all delivering women in the largest hospital in Norway during two time periods (2003–2005 and 2008–2010) were studied. After excluding caesarean sections and preterm deliveries (< week 32), the study population consisted of 31 709 deliveries, among which 907 women were identified with obstetric anal sphincter injury. Primary and secondary outcome measures Incidence of OASIS in two time periods. Maternal, obstetrical and foetal risk factors for OASIS were collected from the hospital obstetric database. Univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression analyses, presenting adjusted ODs for OASIS, were performed. Results The OASIS incidence was significantly reduced by 50%, from 4% (591/14787) in the first time period to 1.9% (316/16 922) in the second. This reduction could not be explained by changes in population characteristics or OASIS risk factors during the study years. The reduction of incidence of OASIS between the two study periods was consistent across subgroups of women; regardless of parity, delivery method and infant birth weight. Conclusions A marked reduction in the incidence of OASIS was observed in all studied subgroups of women after implementing the training programme for perineal protection. Further, this reduction could not be explained by the differences in patient characteristics across the study period. These findings indicate that the training programme with improved perineal protection markedly reduced the risk of OASIS. |

Abstract: | In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) the recruitment maneuver (RM) is used to reexpand atelectatic areas of the lungs aiming to improve arterial oxygenation. The goal of our paper was to evaluate the response to RM, as assessed by measurements of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in ARDS patients. Materials and Methods. Seventeen adult ARDS patients were enrolled into a prospective study. Patients received protective ventilation. The RM was performed by applying a continuous positive airway pressure of 40 cm H2O for 40sec. The efficacy of the RM was assessed 5 min later. Patients were identified as responders if PaO2/FiO2 increased by >20% above the baseline. EVLWI was assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution before the RM, and patients were divided into groups of low EVLWI (<10 mL/kg) and high EVLWI (≥10 mL/kg). EVLWI was increased in 12 patients. Following RM, PaO2/FiO2 increased by 33 (4–65) % in the patients with low EVLWI, whereas those in the high EVLWI group experienced a change by only −1((−13)–(+5)) % (P = 0.035). Conclusion. In ARDS, the response to a recruitment maneuver might be related to the severity of pulmonary edema. In patients with incresed EVLWI, the recruitment maneuver is less effective. |

Abstract: | Objectives. To determine whether increased levels of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) in patients with SLE are due to disease activity or genetic variations in the promoter region of the BAFF gene and BAFF gene expression. Methods. The case-control study included 101 SLE patients and 111 healthy controls. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the BAFF promoter region were investigated by melting point analysis: c.-2841 (T > C), c.-2704 (T > C), c.-2701 (A > T), c.-871 (C > T) and c.-514 (A > G). BAFF mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR (BAFF-RQ) and serum BAFF (s-BAFF) levels were measured by ELISA. Independent predictors that might be correlated with increased s-BAFF in SLE patients were analysed by multivariate regression methods. Results. Although s-BAFF levels were increased in SLE patients (1.73 vs 0.98 ng/μl, P < 0.001), no specific BAFF genotype was found to associate with SLE. The different genotypes defined by the investigated SNPs were identified both in SLE patients and healthy controls with similar frequencies. No association was found between BAFF genotype and BAFF-RQ. s-BAFF was independent of other factors, correlated with CRP (β = 0.40, P < 0.001) and physician's visual analogue score (R = 0.21, P = 0.046) and inversely with haemoglobin (β = -0.32, P < 0.001) and IgA (β = -0.33, P = 0.001). Conclusions. Increased s-BAFF levels in SLE patients are associated with the acute-phase responses, CRP and haemoglobin, but probably not dependent on BAFF genotype or expression. This indicates that s-BAFF production occurs at sites of inflammation. |

Abstract: | Background: Hemodynamic changes in the liver remnant following partial hepatectomy (PHx) have been suggested to be a primary stimulus in triggering liver regeneration. We hypothesized that it is the increased
sinusoidal flow per se and hence the shear-stress stimulus on the endothelial surface within the liver remnant which is the main stimulus to regeneration. In order to test this hypothesis we wanted to increase the sinusoidal flow without performing a concomitant liver resection. Accordingly, we constructed an aorto-portal shunt to the
left portal vein branch creating a standardized four-fold increase in flow to segments II, III and IV. The impact of
this manipulation was studied in both an acute model (6 animals, 9 hours) using a global porcine cDNA microarray
chip and in a chronic model observing weight and histological changes (7 animals, 3 weeks).
Results: Gene expression profiling from the shunted segments does not suggest that increased sinusoidal flow per se results in activation of genes promoting mitosis. Hyperperfusion over three weeks results in the whole liver gaining a supranormal weight of 3.9% of the total body weight (versus the normal 2.5%). Contrary to our hypothesis, the weight gain was observed on the non-shunted side without an increase in sinusoidal flow. Conclusions: An isolated increase in sinusoidal flow does not have the same genetic, microscopic or macroscopic impact on the liver as that seen in the liver remnant after partial hepatectomy, indicating that increased sinusoidal flow may not be a sufficient stimulus in itself for the initiation of liver regeneration. |

Abstract: | Angiogenesis is pivotal in tumor development. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is considered one of the most important angiogenic factors, but lately several microRNAs (miRs) have been associated with vascular development. miR-126 has been related to tumor angiogenesis and in the regulation of VEGF-A. The authors aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of miR-126 and its co-expression with VEGF-A in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Tumor tissue samples from 335 resected stage I to IIIA NSCLC patients were obtained and tissue microarrays (TMAs) were constructed with 4 cores from each tumor specimen. VEGF-A expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization was used to evaluate the expression of miR-126. In the total material, miR-126 was a significant negative prognostic factor in both univariate (P = .005) and multivariate analyses (hazard ratio [HR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2-2.8, P = .01). Stratified by histology, miR-126 was only significant in squamous cell carcinomas (univariate: P < .001; multivariate: HR 3.1, CI 95% 1.7-5.6, P<.001). Stratified by lymph node status, miR-126 was significant only in the lymph node-positive subgroup (univariate: P<.001; multivariate: HR 4.1, CI 95% 2.0-8.4, P < .001). High miR-126 expression correlated significantly with high VEGF-A expression (P = .037). The co-expression of miR-126 and VEGF-A had a significant prognostic impact (P = .002), with 5-year survival rates of 68%, 51%, and 42% for low/low (n = 150), mixed combinations (n = 129), and high/high (n = 35) expression, respectively. miR-126 is a strong and independent negative prognostic factor in NSCLC, and its prognostic impact appears related primarily to histology and nodal status.

Abstract: | Systemic inflammation and elevated circulating levels of the endogenous nitric oxide inhibitor asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) have been associated with increased risk in cardiogenic shock (CS). In this prospective study, we assessed, over 4 consecutive days, the changes and possible associations between vascular function, markers of inflammation, and circulating ADMA levels in patients with CS (n = 12) and postcardiotomy heart failure (n = 12, PC-HF). Vasodilator function was measured as a reactive hyperemia index (RH-index) using a finger plethysmograph. Blood samples were analyzed for plasma ADMA, interleukine-6, interleukine-8, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular adhesion molecule-1. Baseline RH-index was significantly attenuated compared with healthy controls (2.28) for both CS and PC-HF (1.35 and 1.45, respectively, P = 0.001). Although vasodilator function improved in PC-HF patients, it remained attenuated in CS. Inflammatory markers were markedly elevated followed by a significant fall during the observation period in both groups. ADMA levels increased significantly during the observation period for PC-HF, whereas no pattern of change was observed for CS. No association was found between the longitudinal changes in RH-index, markers of inflammation, or ADMA in CS. However, an improved RH-index was associated with decreasing inflammatory markers in PC-HF. ADMA correlated to arterial lactate levels and the degree of organ dysfunction in CS. In conclusion, CS and PC-HF were characterized by a marked inflammatory activation accompanied by an attenuated vasodilator function. ADMA was related to organ dysfunction and degree of hypoperfusion during CS but showed no correlations to inflammation or hampered vasodilator function. The pathogenic significance of these responses needs clarification |
