- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the physical function outcomes in anemic, critically ill, trauma subjects treated with epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) compared to placebo.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Anemia |
Drug: PROCRIT Drug: Placebo |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Effect of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (Epoetin Alfa (PROCRIT®)) on Functional Outcomes in Anemic, Critically Ill, Trauma Subjects |
- SF-36 PF Score [ Time Frame: Hospital Discharge to Post-Hospital Discharge Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Average SF-36 (Medical Outcome Survey Short Form) PF (Physical Function) Score post hospital discharge for each subject. Each subjects SF-36 score is the average of all the post hospital discharge scores. The SF-36 score is a patient reported questionaire related to Physical Function base the score can range from 0 to 100. The worst score is 0 and the best possible score is 100.
- Return to Usual Activity (RTUA) [ Time Frame: Hospital Discharge to Post-Hospital Discharge Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Number of Subjects with Week 24 SF-36 PF Score greater than or equal to their pre-trauma SF-36 PF score. The pre-trauma SF-36 PF score was collected at hosptital discharge and reflects a subjects physical function before they were injured and hospitalized.
Enrollment: | 192 |
Study Start Date: | August 2005 |
Study Completion Date: | June 2008 |
Primary Completion Date: | June 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: PROCRIT |
Drug: PROCRIT
40,000 IU/mL/week for max of 12 weeks
Placebo Comparator: Placebo |
Drug: Placebo
40,000 IU/mL/week for max of 12 weeks
Detailed Description:
The overall study design is based on the assumption that the maximum increase in red blood cells and their effect often does not occur while a subject is in the ICU and acutely ill. The study hypothesis is that a higher hemoglobin (red blood cells) carries more oxygen and delivers oxygen to the tissues. This should increase the ability of the injured subject to tolerate the physical exertion involved in the recuperative process and thus recover earlier than someone with a lower hemoglobin.
One milliliter of a colorless liquid is injected under the subjects skin weekly during their hospital stay and weekly for up to an additional 12 weeks after hospital discharge.

How To Make Your Own Bathroom Cleaners
There are tons of "green" bathroom cleaners on the market, but most of the time it's cheaper and just as effective to make your own. Armed with a few simple non-toxic and biodegradable ingredients, you can keep your bathroom fresh and sparkling.
What You Need
Baking soda – cleans, deodorizes, scours
Borax – cleans, deodorizes, disinfects
Castile soap or vegetable oil-based liquid soap – cleans
Distilled white vinegar – cuts grease and soap scum, dissolves mineral deposits, inhibits mold, freshens; reportedly kills 99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, and 80% of viruses
Essential oils – freshen, disinfect
Kosher salt – scours, disinfects
Equipment or Tools
Measuring cups and spoons
Spray bottles
• TUB AND TILE CLEANER: In a jar or spray bottle, combine 1 2/3 cup baking soda with 1/2 cup vegetable oil-based liquid soap. Add 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons vinegar. Shake before using. Apply with a cloth or sponge and rinse well.
• SCOURING POWDER: Combine 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup borax, and 1 cup kosher salt in a jar. Sprinkle on area to be cleaned, wipe with a sponge, and rinse.
• TOILET BOWL CLEANER: Mix 1/4 cup borax or baking soda and 1 cup vinegar in the toilet. Let it sit for 15 minutes (or longer, if necessary), scrub, and flush.
• GLASS CLEANER: Combine 1/4 cup vinegar and 4 cups warm water in a spray bottle. Use to clean glass or mirrors with a dry cloth or piece of newspaper.
• DRAIN CLEANER: Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into drain followed by 1 cup vinegar. Let it sit and fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with hot or boiling water. May need to repeat or leave baking soda and vinegar in overnight.
• FLOOR SANITIZER: In a bucket, mix 1/2 cup borax with 2 gallons hot water. Apply with a mop or sponge. Rinsing is not necessary.
• SOAP SCUM REMOVER: Sprinkle on baking soda, scrub with a cloth or sponge, and rinse. Vinegar or kosher salt also work.
• CALCIUM OR LIME REMOVER: For calcium or lime deposits on a chrome faucet, soak a towel in vinegar and wrap it around the faucet. Let it sit for a couple of hours or overnight.
• MOLD OR MILDEW REMOVER: Mix 1/2 cup borax and 1/2 cup vinegar to make a paste. Scrub with a brush or sponge and rinse with water. For tough mold, let it sit for an hour before rinsing with water.
Additional Tips:
• Where to find ingredients at the grocery store: baking soda – baking section, borax – laundry section, castile and vegetable oil-based soaps – cleaner section, vinegar – salad dressing section; essential oils – health food stores, kosher salt – spice section.
• Add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance and/or cleaning power. Eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, tea tree, and thyme are among the essential oils considered to be antiseptic and antibacterial.
• Using a label or permanent marker, write recipes directly on jars and bottles for future reference.

You left out the most fun ingredient- vodka!! :)
Thank you, thank you for the cleaning recipes....very affordable and easy to make!
I've tried baking soda to get rid of soap scum and haven't found that it works very well.
This may sound weird, but I can't get white distilled vinegar. I live in the Czech Republic, and all of the vinegar is brown -- it's fermented, or apple cider vinegar. Can I still use it for cleaning?
The toilet bowl cleaner immediately foamed up and spilled over the container that I was using (it's a good thing I did this over the kitchen sink!).
I see my mistake, I should have mixed it in the toilet......
Potty volcano!! : )
Hi, I was wondering if you can clarify something for me. For the tub and tile cleaner, is it 1 and 2/3 cup of baking soda. Or just 2/3 cup baking soda? Thanks!
This article helps to people for cleaning bathrooms. Here is nice tips how to use all Ingredients. keep posting

I have heard vodka is a great cleaner, you can spray it on your couch and it deodorizes it and sanitizes it at the same time. I put orange peels in a jar with vodka, seal air tight for about two weeks, smells great, works with lemons also.

Farmer's Market Sausage Pie Recipe
Our 4-year-old son, Lukas, named this savory pie for the Saturday morning farmer's market that's held near our state capitol. Most of the fresh ingredients called for in the recipe can be found there and baked into this deliciously different entree. Teri Schuman, Oregon, Wisconsin
- 4 Italian sausage links, casings removed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
- 1 small yellow tomato, cut into chunks
- 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
- 1 cup thinly sliced yellow summer squash
- 1/2 cup julienned green pepper
- 1/2 cup julienned sweet red pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing mix
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
- Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
- In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, salad dressing mix, garlic powder and fennel seed. Cook and stir for 10 minutes; drain. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim pastry even with edge. Fill with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheeses. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top.
- Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8 servings.

I added a portion of sliced onion and used
sweet italian turkey sausage. Also used 1-2 tbsp more while I sauted the veggies. I had too much so I made 2 pies, split the cheese mixture between the 2 and topped with Italian Bread Crumbs. Excellent recipe!

"Through clustering, the right brain has the opportunity to generate fresh perceptions and meaningful patterns" ~ Dr. Gabrielle Lusser Rico, Author of Writing the Natural Way
What if you could break up traffic with a simple gesture? Your super-power, "able to dissipate afternoon gridlock in a single bound." How much time would that save you, knowing that you had a technique to keep the highways clear so that you never waste another moment sitting in afternoon or morning traffic?
In terms of brainstorming, idea generation, and breaking mental roadblocks, clustering – or the more common term mind mapping—is that tool (if you trust it and do it right).
In "11 Tips for a More Innovative 2012" Anita Campbell says:
"The key to mind-mapping is that because it's visual, it engages a different part of our brain than verbal communication does, which encourages us to think in new ways."
It's all about awakening both sides of the brain so that you can look at your problem, business or idea in a new context. Learning to see your business from a fresh perspective may carry fresh and creative solutions. In "Innovation Starts With Defining the Problem" Anita says:
"The way you define the problem affects the solution."
And she suggests context-mapping which is a form of mind-mapping to help you get clear.
But why does it really matter?
To answer that question, we have to have a little brain talk (I'll make it quick).
The Right Hemisphere is The Artist:Â Pictures, Designs
According to Dr. Gabrielle Lusser Rico, Author of Writing the Natural Way, the right hemisphere "looks at the whole," operates in metaphors, and "is mute." The right brain uses pictures instead of words. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Author of Stroke of Insight, adds that the right brain sees the big picture and the more subtle kinds of understanding:
"The brain is dual and each hemisphere is capable of operating independently of the other."
So if you want to benefit from both, you have to activate both.
What about the other side?
The Left Hemisphere is The Critic: Words, Analytical
This part of the brain uses sequential and linear thinking. According to Dr. Rico, the left hemisphere is literal, precise and driven by information and processes (sounds like business doesn't it?). In fact, Dr. Jill says, the left brain carries our ability to relate to the world. It's the part of the brain that interprets language, performs it function and "talks and talks and talks."
All This Talk About Mind-Mapping
. . . is about getting to the best of both worlds. And more specifically, activating the right hemisphere in addition to the very active left, so that you can benefit from the creative ideas that lead to unique and effective design and innovation in your company.
Clustering can shake up the mind. You can use it when you don't know where to begin. You can also cluster your way out of overwhelm and into an angle and a focus that makes sense. And when clarity comes, action can follow.
It seems so simple, but clustering, mind-mapping, can break the creative gridlock.
More Information About Mind-MappingÂ
Create A Visual Marketing Plan Using A Mind Map
Ivana Taylor shows you how to start your marketing plan by using this creative process. She says, "creating a mind map before you develop a marketing plan activates the creative visual part of your brain. It allows you to see patterns and opportunities" that you would have missed with a traditional outline.
Dr. Gabrielle Lusser Rico says:
"I specifically developed clustering as a way to gain access to the right brain."
This book is for writers but it will help anyone trying to maximize the creative process.

Disk Repair Help
I have a 2011 or 2012 MBA running OSX Lion.
I was running MS Word and working with a 40 meg docx file and the file crashed because the disk encountered an error. I decided to run diskutility to repair the error and it forced me into recovery mode to do the repairs. In recovery mode, it tells me that the error cannot be repaired and to "back up as many files as possible and reinstall OSX". Now I can't even boot back into OSX to backup my files. Help!!!!!! Update: I've reset the NVRAM/PRAM and still nothing. Can't even do a safe boot into the computer. It just won't load into OSX to allow me to do a backup. It loads up the apple icon, spinning wheel thingy, shuts down. Panicking since I haven't back up the system in 1.5 weeks. Last edited by robbieduncan; Feb 5, 2013 at 12:24 PM. |

See if you can get into Internet recovery by holding command-option-r (all three at once) at boot. Then when the recovery screen starts try to run Disk Utility repair from there.
It does sound like your drive died. |

I can get into recovery mode but disk utility still is not solving the problem.
I can't believe the ssd drive died already. There wasn't even any signs of failure coming up and the drive isn't even old by ssd standards! Wtf! |

Feb 5, 2013, 02:24 PM | #4 | |
By using the recovery partition like you are the disk is trying to repair itself while running on the same disk, and this can get in the way of repairs. Still might not work, but it is worth a shot. |

Feb 5, 2013, 03:22 PM | #5 |
Alright. I'll give it a shot and have my fingers crossed. I'll post how it all goes.
Update: trying to install OSX Lion didn't work and I didn't even get into the verificatin stage. Both the HD recovery and the main partition are both locked! I was about to partition the main into 2 sectors but figured I'd ask for help first. HELP! Last edited by Allan in T.Dot; Feb 5, 2013 at 03:27 PM. Reason: updated information |

I am thrilled to be a part of Hydraulics & Pneumatics and our excellent content that reaches readers around the country through our printed magazine and website. We have some great content in our June issue that you can find at:
Our June issue takes a close look once again at the contributions of fluid power technology to the production of food through our great agricultural markets. American farmers make great strides in feeding the people of the world with the help of hydraulics.
Also in June we examine application considerations for air cylinders. This vital technology makes so many things happen through automation, packaging, processing, and more. Every issue continues the education of our readers on pneumatic technology.
An insightful Publisher's Page that I am particularly fond of kicks of the issue. From cover to cover, it is worth your time. Please take some time to read and review our June issue in print and online. Thanks for reading.

Year: 2010
Country: POLAND
Run Time: 110 minutes
A visual jewel in the vein of Ingmar Bergman's "Fanny and Alexander," VENICE sees the world through the eyes of an imaginative boy named Marek who is coming-of-age in Poland in 1939. As war seems imminent, Marek is taken by his flighty mother from his military school to live in the crumbling manor that is his genteel family's home. Also in residence are his two creative aunts, his grandmother, a sexually curious servant girl, and his devout cousin Susie. As war begins to seep in through the magical woodlands surrounding the manor, Marek's mother leaves with a lover, men and boys go off to war, and those left behind face emotional and physical depravation. Marek, whose fondest dream is to one day visit Venice, persuades the family to take advantage of the flooded basement and turn it into a watery Venetian wonderland, complete with makeshift gondolas and musical performances softly lit by lanterns. As the seasons change and life at war goes on, Marek is confronted with the consequences of adult passions, which are almost more than he can bear. (In Polish with subtitles) -B.B.

About the artist
The Manhattans were one of those classic R&B vocal groups who manage to achieve incredible career longevity by adapting their style to fit changing times. Formed in the '60s as a doo wop-influenced R&B quintet, the Manhattans reinvented themselves as sweet smooth soul balladeers during the '70s. In doing so, they somehow overcame the death of lead singer George Smith, and with new ... more

Next PageAbstract: | The MgAl2O4 ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state ceramic route and the dielectric properties studied in the microwave frequency region (3–13 GHz). The phase purity and crystal structure were identified using the X-ray diffraction technique. The MgAl2O4 spinel ceramics show interesting microwave dielectric properties (εr = 8.75, Qux f = 68 900 GHz (loss tangent = 0.00017 at 12.3 GHz), τf =−75 ppm/◦C). The MgAl2O4 has high negative τf, which precludes its immediate use in practical applications. Hence the microwave dielectric properties of MgAl2O4 spinels were tailored by adding different mole fractions of TiO2. The εr and Q factor of the mixed phases were increased with the molar addition of TiO2 into the spinel to form mixtures based on (1−x)MgAl2O4-xTiO2 (x = 0.0−1.0). For x = 0.25 in (1−x)MgAl2O4-xTiO2, the microwave quality factor reaches a maximum value of Qux f = 105 400 GHz (loss tangent = 0.00007 at 7.5 GHz) where εr and τf are 11.035 and −12 ppm/◦C, respectively. The microwave dielectric properties of the newly developed 0.75MgAl2O4-0.25TiO2 dielectric is superior to several commercially available low loss dielectric substrates. |

Abstract: | Dimethylacetals of ketones; cyclohexanone, acetophenone, and benzophenone have been prepared by reacting ketones with methanol under mild reaction conditions. Large pore zeolites (H-Y and its rare earth metal, Ce3+, La3+, and RE3+ modified forms), and mesoporous clay (K-10 montmorillonite and its cerium exchanged counterpart) with regular pore structure, silica and silica-alumina have been used as catalysts. Clay catalysts are found to be much more active than zeolites, thanks to slightly bigger pore size. The nature of the pores of the solid acid catalysts determine acetalization efficiency of a particular catalyst. As evidenced by the reaction time studies, the catalyst decay is greater over the zeolites than over the clays. Carrying out the reaction with ketones of different molecular sizes it is shown that K-10 clays and rare earth exchanged H-Y zeolites are promising environmentally friendly catalysts for their use in the production fine chemicals. |

Abstract: | Three enzymes, α-amylase, glucoamylase and invertase, were immobilized on acid activated montmorillonite K 10 via two independent techniques, adsorption and covalent binding. The immobilized enzymes were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption measurements and 27Al MAS-NMR spectroscopy. The XRD patterns showed that all enzymes were intercalated into the clay inter-layer space. The entire protein backbone was situated at the periphery of the clay matrix. Intercalation occurred through the side chains of the amino acid residues. A decrease in surface area and pore volume upon immobilization supported this observation. The extent of intercalation was greater for the covalently bound systems. NMR data showed that tetrahedral Al species were involved during enzyme adsorption whereas octahedral Al was involved during covalent binding. The immobilized enzymes demonstrated enhanced storage stability. While the free enzymes lost all activity within a period of 10 days, the immobilized forms retained appreciable activity even after 30 days of storage. Reusability also improved upon immobilization. Here again, covalently bound enzymes exhibited better characteristics than their adsorbed counterparts. The immobilized enzymes could be successfully used continuously in the packed bed reactor for about 96 hours without much loss in activity. Immobilized glucoamylase demonstrated the best results. |

Abstract: | The surface acidity/ basicity of TiO2 (rutile) and its sulphate modified form have been determined by titration method using Hammett indicators after activation at different temperatures. The electron donating properties of these oxides are also studied from the adsorption of electron acceptors of different electron affinity values. The data have been correlated with the catalytic activity of these oxides towards esterification of acetic acid using n-butanol, reduction of cyclohexanone in isopropanol and oxidation of cyclohexanol in benzophenone. Catalytic activity for esterification and oxidation reaction parallels the acidity while that for reduction reaction parallels the basicity of these oxides. |

Abstract: | An asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) fed dual band F-shaped antenna covering the 2.4/5.2 GHz WLAN bands is presented. The optimized dimensions of the proposed uniplanar antenna are 21 mm × 19 mm when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and height 1.6 mm. The dual band nature of the antenna is brought about by the various current paths in the F-shaped structure and the ground plane. The antenna exhibits nearly omnidirectional radiation characteristics and moderate gain in both the operating bands. Details of the antenna design, simulation, and experimental results are presented and discussed. |

Abstract: | Progesterone-receptor complex from freshly prepared hen oviduct cytosol acquired the ability to bind to isolated nuclei, DNA-cellulose and ATP-Sepharose when incubated with 5-10 mM ATP at 4°C. The extent of this ATP-dependent activation was higher when compared with heat-activation achieved by warming the progesterone- receptor complex at 23 °C. The transformation of progesterone-receptor complex which occurred in a time-dependent manner was only partially dependent on hormone presence. The ATP effect was selective in causing this transformation whereas ADP, AMP and cAMP failed to show any such effect. The non-hydrolizable analogs of ATP, adenosine 5'-[a,/3-methylene]triphosphate and adenosine 5-[/l,y-imido]triphosphate were also found to be ineffective. Presence of 10 mM sodium molybdate blocked both the ATP and the heat-activation of progesterone-receptor complex. Mn" or Mg` had no detectable effect on the receptor activation but the presence of Ca" increased the extent of ATP-activation slightly. EDTA presence (> 5 mM) decreased the extent of receptor activation by about 40 % and was, therefore, not included in the buffers used for activation studies. Divalent cations were also ineffective when tested in the presence of 1- 5 mM EDTA. The properties of progesterone-receptor complex remained intact under the above conditions when analyzed for steroid-binding specificity and Scatchard analysis. However, the ATP-activated progesterone-receptor complex lost the ability to aggregate when tested on low-salt sucrose gradients. ATP was equally effective in activating the rat-uterine estradiol-receptor complex at 4 "C and influenced the transformation of 4-S receptor form into a 5-S form when analyzed on sucrose gradients containing 0.3 M KCI. The presence of ATP also increased the rate of activation of progesterone-receptor complex at 23 °C. These findings suggest a role for ATP in receptor function and offer a convenient method of studying the process of receptor activation at low temperature and mild assay conditions. |

Abstract: | Active microwave imaging is explored as an imaging modality for early detection of breast cancer. When exposed to microwaves, breast tumor exhibits electrical properties that are significantly different from that of healthy breast tissues. The two approaches of active microwave imaging — confocal microwave technique with measured reflected signals and microwave tomographic imaging with measured scattered signals are addressed here. Normal and malignant breast tissue samples of same person are subjected to study within 30 minutes of mastectomy. Corn syrup is used as coupling medium, as its dielectric parameters show good match with that of the normal breast tissue samples. As bandwidth of the transmitter is an important aspect in the time domain confocal microwave imaging approach, wideband bowtie antenna having 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of 46% is designed for the transmission and reception of microwave signals. Same antenna is used for microwave tomographic imaging too at the frequency of 3000 MHz. Experimentally obtained time domain results are substantiated by finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis. 2-D tomographic images are reconstructed with the collected scattered data using distorted Born iterative method. Variations of dielectric permittivity in breast samples are distinguishable from the obtained permittivity profiles. |

Abstract: | Acid and alkaline DNase activities in partially purified preparations from young and old chick brain were measured. The specific activity of acid DNase from old brain was lower by about 50% than that of enzyme from young brain , whereas alkaline DNase exhibited only marginal difference in activity of the two preparations . Study of various properties, viz. heat-stability and effect of exogenous compounds like Mg=', Hgl', Zn=', PHM B , on these enzymes revealed that while acid DNase in old brain is more susceptible to heat and heavy metal ion inhibition , alkaline DNase is devoid of any age-dependent variation in its properties. |
