Article: Preparation, characterization and in vitro release study of a glutathione-dependent polymeric prodrug Cis-3-(9H-purin-6-ylthio)-acrylic acid-graft-carboxymethyl chitosan.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this work, an amphiphilic polymeric prodrug Cis-3-(9H-purin-6-ylthio)-acrylic acid-graft-carboxymethyl chitosan (PTA-g-CMCS) was designed and synthesized. In aqueous solution, this grafted polymer can self-assemble into spherical micelles with a size ranging from 104 to 285 nm and zeta potential ranging from -12.3 to -20.1 mV. For the release study, less than 24% of 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) was released from PTA-g-CMCS1 in the media containing 2 and 100 μM glutathione (GSH), whereas 37%, 54% and 75% of 6-MP was released from the media with GSH of 1, 2 and 10mM, respectively. Besides, pH and drug content of the polymeric prodrug only presented slight influence on the 6-MP release. MTT assay demonstrated that this system had higher inhibition ratio on HL-60 cells (human promyelocytic leukemia cells) in the presence of GSH and lower cytotoxicity on mouse fibroblast cell line (L929). Therefore, this nano-sized system is glutathione-dependent, and it can be employed as a potential carrier for the controlled release of 6-MP.International Journal of Pharmaceutics 06/2012; 436(1-2):240-7. · 3.99 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A rapid, sensitive, and simple high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with an ultraviolet detector (UV) has been developed for the determination of oxaliplatin in the plasma of rabbits and tissues of mice. The sample preparation was carried out by complexation with 0.5 mL of DETC (diethyl-dithiocarbamate) solution and extracted by ether and chloroform. Then, 20 microL of supernatant was injected into the HPLC system with 0.25 mol/L of sodium chloride solution and methanol (30:70 v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Separation was performed with a C(18) column at 25 degrees C. The peak was detected at 254 nm. The calibration curve was linear (R(2) > or = 0.9995) in the concentration range of 0.1 approximately 200 microg/mL in plasma and tissues. The intra- and interday variation coefficients were not more than 2.61 and 3.83%, respectively. The limit of detection was 20 ng/mL. The mean recoveries of oxaliplatin were ranged from 97.83 to 104.17% in plasma and tissues. The present method has been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of oxaliplatin liposome in mice and rabbits.Journal of Liposome Research 01/2009; 19(4):278-86. · 1.91 Impact Factor

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, Feb. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) may improve mood, emotional regulation, well-being, and functioning in individuals with bipolar disorder, according to a study published in the February issue of CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics.
Thilo Deckersbach, Ph.D., of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and associates explored the role of MBCT in 12 patients with bipolar disorder. Participants underwent a baseline clinical assessment, and were then treated with 12 group MBCT sessions. Participants were assessed after treatment and at a three month follow-up.
The researchers found that participants demonstrated improved mindfulness; fewer residual depressive mood symptoms; less difficulty paying attention; and increased emotion-regulation abilities, psychological well-being, positive affect, and psychosocial functioning at the end of the therapy sessions and at the three month follow-up.
"Results of this clinical trial suggest that it may be worthwhile to further investigate whether this version of MBCT for bipolar disorder may become a treatment option for patients with residual mood symptoms in the menu of already empirically supported approaches (e.g., family therapy, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy), especially for patients with a more chronic course of the illness," the authors write.

Kendrick is seemingly going at many rappers who are at the "top" like Drake…and even Jay Z.
but J. Cole has only dissed low key "easy" rappers such as Diggy and the New Boyz.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.

This killed his self-confidence he previously had when rapping. He had nothing to say back to his opponent. Cole was too embarrassed to respond.
Cole was killing his rap and destroying his competition with a very good freestyle. When he rapped, he went H.A.M., and nothing could stop him, like a lion out of his cage.
The intensity of his rapping was so palpable that the crowd could feel his words and emotion.
People are so very volatile and easily swayed that their ideas and attitudes are liable to change frequently and unexpectedly. The act of changing clothes is for most people an everyday occurrence; Kendrick uses this to symbolize how people change their opinions of other people just as often as they change their clothing, because they are often very fickle.
Change Clothes may also be a possible allusion to the Jay Z song of the same name.
Continuing on his previous line, Vic compares himself to both Frank Sinatra and Logic. Logic is a huge fan of Sinatra, even going so far as to name a series of mixtapes after him.
The Rat Pack was a group of actors and friends in the 1960s that consisted of big names like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Vic compares himself to this group because the Rat Pack is often characterized as a group of class and talent, much like Vic and his friends.
He is also comparing his group of friends to the similarly named Ratt Pack consisting of fellow rapper Logic and his crew.
Both rappers view their teams as more of a brotherhood then just friends. They are all trying to achieve the same dream.
from New York State all the way down the east coast to the Carolinas.
J.Cole is saying that in North Carolina everyone is ready for whatever, unafraid, real, etc…

Environmental Policy
International Year of Water Cooperation
March 6, 2013 06:15 AM - Jan Lee, Triple Pundit
As organizations around the world search for ways to ensure that impoverished communities have dependable access to drinking water, a new concern has surfaced: Just who will own the rights to managing that water access in the years to come? In 2010, in what seemed at the time to be an awesome example of prescience, the United Nations labeled 2013 the International Year of Water Cooperation (IYWC). Of course, the branding wasn't intended to recognize accomplishments the world has made in sharing its water resources, but to spur countries and communities around the globe to acknowledge that the potential for a global water crisis is real and that according to the UN, challenges such as "water diplomacy, transboundary water management, financing cooperation, national/international legal frameworks" need to be addressed.
National Climate Change Policy in Pakistan

Pakistan's newly launched national climate change policy (NCCP) aims at natural resource conservation at home, but it also sees regional and bilateral agreements as key to ensuring water, food and energy security. The policy will be implemented by its provincial governments. At its launch last month (26 February), Pakistan's minister for climate change Rana Mohammad Farooq Saeed Khan said efforts would be made to strengthen provincial environment departments to enable them to carry out relevant functions devolved to them.
In the News: 100 million sharks killed each year by commercial fishing

Global Warming Being Slowed by Volcanic Eruptions
March 2, 2013 07:39 AM - Roger Greenway, ENN
Planet Earth did not warm as much in response to increases in green house gas emissions as expected. There appear to be other factors that influence global temperatures than green house gasses. A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder looking for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as scientists expected between 2000 and 2010 now thinks the culprits are hiding in plain sight -- dozens of volcanoes spewing sulfur dioxide. The study results essentially exonerate Asia, including India and China, two countries that are estimated to have increased their industrial sulfur dioxide emissions by about 60 percent from 2000 to 2010 through coal burning, said lead study author Ryan Neely, who led the research as part of his CU-Boulder doctoral thesis. Small amounts of sulfur dioxide emissions from Earth's surface eventually rise 12 to 20 miles into the stratospheric aerosol layer of the atmosphere, where chemical reactions create sulfuric acid and water particles that reflect sunlight back to space, cooling the planet.
Democratic Republic of Congo's Last Large Forest Elephant Population in Serious Decline
March 1, 2013 06:38 AM - Wildlife Conservation Society
The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) largest remaining forest elephant population, located in the Okapi Faunal Reserve (OFR), has declined by 37 percent in the last five years, with only 1,700 elephants now remaining, according to wildlife surveys by WCS and DRC officials. WCS scientists warn that if poaching of forest elephants in DRC continues unabated, the species could be nearly extinguished from Africa's second largest country within ten years. According to the latest survey, 5,100, or 75 percent, of the reserve's elephants have been killed in the last 15 years. These numbers are particularly shocking as the OFR is considered the best protected conservation area in DRC. According to WCS, the primary reason for the recent decline in forest elephant numbers is ivory poaching.
Reptiles Need Our Help NOW!
February 28, 2013 06:26 AM - Anna Taylor, The Ecologist
Reptiles have inhabited our planet for more than 250 million years, and are adapted to almost every part of it. Yet when it comes to conservation action, reptiles all over the world have been overlooked in favour of more charismatic animals. With only 35% of described reptile species evaluated for the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species, no one knew to what extent reptiles were being affected by our current extinction crisis.
Tigers Get the Conservation Love in India
February 24, 2013 06:31 AM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Nearly half of India's wildlife budget goes to one species: the tiger, reports a recent article in Live Mint. India has devoted around $63 million to wildlife conservation for 2013-2013, of which Project Tiger receives $31 million. The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is currently listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List; however India is also home to 132 species currently considered Critically Endangered, the highest rating before extinction. After tigers, elephants receive the next greatest amount: $4 million or 6 percent of the total. Combating the illegal wildlife trade—one of the gravest threats to many of India's species—is funded with just $1 million. Many of the nation's species receive no government funding whatsoever.

Latin America Analysis: Environmental Policy and Deforestation
February 21, 2013 01:06 PM - Carla Almeida, SciDevNet
In a year that was marked by bad news on the environmental front — the polar ice caps melting at an increasing rate, the decline in biodiversity, the failure to reach agreement on climate change, amongst other things — the release of data, at the end of 2012, showing a fall in deforestation in the Amazon, one of the most important biomes in the world, came as a relief. According to estimates by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) — a Brazilian organisation that conducts environmental surveillance programmes in the region — 4,600 km2 of jungle, in Brazilian territory, were deforested between August 2011 and July 2012. This is a drop of 27 per cent, compared with the same period, a year before. Brazil, where deforestation is seen as the main cause of carbon emissions, has set itself a voluntary goal to reduce illegal logging, annually, in the Amazon, to an annual maximum of 3,900 km2 by 2020. The latest figures would seem to indicate that the country is only four per cent shy of reaching its goal. Celebrations, however, have been short-lived. The Amazon's monthly deforestation alert system is already showing a marked increase in the area cleared in the last five months of 2012.

'The O'Briens': money + power + family equals fine storytelling
Peter Behren's novel "The O'Briens" tells the story of an Irish immigrant whose expanding business empire and devotion to his upper-class wife can't insulate him from tragedy.
Special to The Seattle Times
'The O'Briens'
by Peter Behrens
Pantheon, 384 pp., $25.95
Family sagas have been a mainstay of storytelling ever since the House of Atreus fell. Consider Faulkner's Compson clan, or the Benedicts of the book/movie "Giant." Even the current hit series "Downton Abbey" plays with the same winning ingredients: Money + Power + The Ties That Bind.
This formula is on display in Peter Behrens' latest novel, "The O'Briens," a multigenerational tale that features gold leaf on the ceilings and servants at the gate. Fortunately, the displays of material riches take second seat to Behrens' deftly painted portrait of a marriage.
"The O'Briens" opens around 1900 in the backwaters of Quebec. Joe, the oldest son in an impoverished home, grows up fast after his father dies and his mother marries a drunken loser. He carves a toehold in the timber industry, starts making money and boots the worthless stepfather.
Then Joe tackles the next item on his list: finding a wife with the class to equal his expanding bank account. In California, he meets Iseult Wilkins, a well-bred only child who has just become an orphan. Chemistry and mutual need collide. They tie the knot and their chalk-and-cheese relationship becomes the driving force of the book.
Joe and Iseult both yearn for the family they'll eventually have. But first they face a heartbreak that both haunts and unites them for the rest of their lives. This early loss stands as a metaphor not only for their life together, but also for the shared sorrows and mutual devotion that can push and pull at any couple — not just the ones who have gold leaf on their ceilings.
Almost from the start, we see Joe as a tragic figure, with more than a passing resemblance to the real-life Joe Kennedy, who was also self-made, Catholic and from the same era. Powerful men who think their business success gives them control over the home front seem destined to fail.
Yet it's not all about Joe. He drowns self-doubt in a bottle. Only Iseult has the words to examine his dimensions and their relationship.
"This man, this Joe O'Brien, her husband, had once stepped through the fog and promised life, connection, children, meaning," she reflects early in their life together. "But really people were alone. Even in marriage — perhaps most of all in marriage — they were still alone."
Will the O'Briens hang together through their differences and the blows that life delivers? Timeworn though the topic may be, Behrens proves his mettle by making us care enough to find out.
Two smart, determined individuals are hardly the recipe for a tranquil marriage. But they certainly make life — and fiction — more interesting.

STARKE COUNTY A Starke County Jail employee is facing charges for stealing from an inmate.
WKVI reports that Joshua Estok, an inmate, gave an employee, Donald Milbourn, permission to use his debit card to withdraw a thousand dollars from an ATM and put it in his commissary account.
Milbourn is seen on camera taking the debit card, and he did use it at two ATM machines, but the money never made it to Estok's account. Milbourn told police Estok gave him permission to use the money as a loan. He says he used it to purchase tires for his vehicle.
Milbourn is now facing felony charges of theft and fraud, as well as a misdemeanor charge of trafficking with an inmate.

A navy lieutenant said on Friday that the British sailors were threatened they could face up to seven years in prison if they did not say they had strayed in Iranian waters.
Lieutenant Felix Carman told reporters in a press conference Friday that the crew of British sailors and marines faces harsh interrogations by their Iranian captors.
"All of us were kept in isolation. We were interrogated most nights and
presented with two options. If we admitted that we'd strayed, we'd be on a plane to (Britain) pretty soon" said Carman.
Royal Marine Captain Chris Air said was confronted by members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard while it was out on a routine operation.
"They rammed our boats and trained their heavy machine guns, RPG and weapons on us. Another six boats were closing in on us. We realized that our efforts to reason with these people were not making any headway" said Air.
The men at the briefing also stated they were well inside Iraqi waters
when confronted and responding to criticism that they surrendered too
quickly the men say they had no choice, saying they would have lost or been killed.
In the wake of this incident, the British Navy is now reviewing its
operations in the disputed waters between Iraq and Iran.

Will call ticket pick was super smooth. Grabbed a hot chocolate at Starbucks before the show. Seats were beautiful, near the front with a good view. I love the Symphny Center. The National Festival Chorus was good but lacked some energy; the best part of the show by far was the Yorkville High School Orchestra! THEY were phenomenal. So lively, entertaining, huge swelling sounds, really uplifting.

Reviews for this vacation cottage rental in Falmouth, Massachusetts

Cape vacation
September 29, 2014
We had a great week. The cottage is steps away from beach. Four bedrooms were big enough for my kids. The cottage was great. It looks much bigger than the pictures. I went on long walks on the beach. I collected a basket full is sea shells. My kids & husband fished every day. The kids love seeing bunnies in the back yard. I love that location. Close to everything. Thank you Susan, you have lovely home.

Cottage was very clean and adaquate for our family of four. Great location, 2min walk to beach, 5 min walk to restaurant, 5min bike ride to town. Nice outdoor shower, side deck and nice front porch. Would love to spend another week next summer! Very friendly and accomadating owners.

First, the owners were more than accomodating answering all our questions quickly prior to and following signing the agreement. The cottage is conveniently located close to the beach so morning strolls and evening walks were plentiful. The home is larger than it appears in the pictures and has the old cape cod essence. The only "opportunity" would be to enclose the outdoor shower. Regardless, we would rent here again once our children are a little bigger.

Systemwide Process Improvement
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
Although leaders believed the process improvement initiative was successful, they wanted to take the philosophy even further, so they created Total Hospital Efficiency (THE), which installs advanced process methodologies throughout the whole hospital simultaneously, instead of using a targeted approach. Then logistics software is installed to track all patient clinical and nonclinical data. The increases in efficiency, lowered costs, increased revenues, enhanced capacity, and quality are dramatic.
Mercy St. Vincent's process improvement effort reaps annual financial rewards now that it has linked disparate operating systems: The hospital has reduced average length of stay by 23%, lowered direct costs by $8.6 million, increased operating margin to 5.3% from 2.7%, and has seen improvement in other quality metrics, such as preventable harm and hospital-acquired conditions.
Imran Andrabi, MD, president and CEO at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, and Joseph Sober, vice president for service excellence and workflow process, have seen how Lean, Six Sigma, and THE all can work together.
"Lean has helped us generate savings from projects and reduce the length of stay by 1.3 days; it has helped us bear these tough economic conditions. But if someone is going to put one of these into place just for the purpose of cost savings, they would be disappointed because this is also about the patient experience and satisfaction. This goes well beyond enhancing margin," says Sober.
That's why Mercy St. Vincent decided to broaden its application of the Lean and Six Sigma tenets to develop a systemwide approach. "THE has allowed us to indentify interdepartment instead of intradepartment issues and bring in leadership and [Six Sigma] black belts to address the issues," says Andrabi. Leadership looked at its Level 1 trauma center, its Level 3 NICU, and its eight ICUs as a good starting point to improve the patient experience and process. A team was tasked to look at the entire patient flow process, and reduced LOS, thereby creating an additional capacity of 100 beds.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
james mcniff (4/15/2011 at 8:56 AM)
This same opportunity exists in non-clinical applications like the revenue cycle..Per AHA, hospital expenditures for 2009 was 724 billion dollars..If we assume a 5% margin the net revenue would be about 760 billion..The average hospital's cost to collect is about 4%..This equates to 30 billion spent on the revenue cycle..Through the application of the HIPAA business transactions,intelligent software and process redesign there is the potential of reducing these costs from 30 to 50%..A savings of 10 to 15 billion dollars a year for the industry..

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Thriving 'Peg ready for the NHL
Winnipeg not the city it was in '96: experts
WINNIPEG has come a long way, baby.
Whether the deal to keep the Phoenix Coyotes in the Arizona desert fails and the Winnipeg Jets fly home this fall, there is no question that the Winnipeg of 2011 bears little resemblance to the Winnipeg of 1996. That's largely why we're in the relocation discussion in the first place.
First, there's the obvious. The prospective owners of an NHL team, the Chipman family and David Thomson, own and operate the MTS Centre. Among other things, that gives them revenue from concession sales, which the former owners of the Jets didn't have in the old Winnipeg Arena when Winnipeg Enterprises ran the show.
The National Hockey League has undergone some significant changes as well. When the Jets left town, there was no hard salary cap. Thanks to the lockout that cancelled the 2004-05 season, the salary cap now gives teams cost certainty that they didn't have previously.
But we're all better off now, too. Back in '96, according to the Manitoba Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate was 8.3 per cent, the median household income was $46,855 and the percentage of the population 15 years and older that had a certificate, diploma or degree from a high school, college or university was 60 per cent.
Today, those numbers are significantly better. Unemployment, even in the wake of the economic downturn, is 5.0 per cent, the median household income is $63,025 and the percentage of Manitobans with parchment on their walls is 77 per cent.
"People have better-paying jobs, their skill set is growing and they're more educated. I think we're well-positioned for the return of the NHL," said Jacqueline Storen, assistant chief statistician with MBS.
The Manitoba and Canadian economies are vastly different, too. The loonie, worth about 75 cents in 1996, is trading above parity today, closing at $1.0294 on Tuesday.
"When all of your player costs and a lot of your travel and other costs are in U.S. dollars, a dollar that's over par gives you a big improvement in your economics right off the top," said John McCallum, a finance professor at the I.H. Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba.
But could the loonie plummet back to its former depths or even lower? Not likely, McCallum said. Not with the emergence of China as the second-biggest economy in the world -- and with the highest economic growth rate -- and its insatiable appetite for commodities, such as energy, food and minerals. Canada produces all three in abundance.
"These commodities are going to stay high in price for quite some time," he said.
As an added bonus, the federal government, directly or indirectly, gets huge revenues from the sale of those commodities in the form of royalties and corporate taxes, all of which fuels Ottawa's transfer payments to Manitoba, which help pay for roads, schools and hospitals.
Michael Benarroch, dean of the business and economics faculty at the University of Winnipeg, is just as bullish.
"We're a resource-rich economy. Our goods are in high demand. It's very unlikely our dollar will drop to (1996 levels). Something would have to fundamentally change in the structure of the world economy and the Canadian economy relative to the U.S. economy," he said.
There's also a lot more of us here today than there were 15 years ago. Benarroch said Manitoba's population has been growing strongly for the last seven or eight years.
And, believe it or not, McCallum said a couple of landmark policies by the federal government have helped Manitoba's economy and its ability to support an NHL team. First, the Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. has let a growing number of Manitoba companies significantly build their businesses south of the border.
Second, the 1995 elimination of the Crow Rate, a rail transportation subsidy benefitting farmers on the Prairies and manufacturers in central Canada, created the incentive for Manitoba farmers to process their grain here and turn it into a value-added enterprise. As a result, the province has developed a booming hog business.
Large, rich population
Manitoba is a $50-billion economy with about 1.1 million people. Next door is Saskatchewan, a $40-billion economy with about 750,000 people and northwest Ontario brings a few billion and a couple of hundred thousand people more. That makes for a regional gross domestic product nearing $100 billion and more than 2 million people.
"That's a very sizable number. If folks like the product, it's a GDP that can easily support major league hockey," said University of Manitoba finance professor John McCallum.
To put Manitoba's GDP in perspective, it's almost exactly the same size as the Dominican Republic's, which has 10 million people.
"The fact we do more with 1 million people than it does with 10 million means there's a heck of a lot of per capita income to buy tickets with," he said.

In some cultures, it is considered correct business politesse to hold the card presented to you with both hands, observe it, and comment, before putting it carefully in your wallet. I...

German court halts Apple's second slide-to-unlock case against Samsung
The Mannheim Court in Germany has delayed Apple's second slide-to-unlock case against Samsung, says FOSS Patents. During this pause in proceedings, the German Patent and Trademark Office is examining the validity of Apple's slide-to-unlock utility model.
A utility model is a quickly-approved patent that's not presumed by the court to be valid because it hasn't been fully examined by the patent office. Now that Apple is asserting it in a lawsuit, the patent office is taking a closer look at the patent and Apple's claims. This review process takes time and other appeals could delay a final ruling in this slide-to-unlock case.
