Falls in frequent neurological diseases--prevalence, risk factors and aetiology.
ABSTRACT The prevalence of falls among neurological patients is unknown, although disturbances of gait and posture are common. Falls may lead to burdens for the patient, the caregivers and the health system. We designed a prospective study and investigated all patients for a history of falls admitted to a neurological hospital during a 100-day period. Clinical investigation was carried out and several disease specific rating scales were applied. A total of 548 patients were investigated. Of all patients 34% had fallen once or more often during the last twelve months. A disturbance of gait was blamed for the fall in 55%, epileptic seizures in 12%, syncope in 10 % and stroke in 7%. Intrinsic risk factors for falls were high age, disturbed gait, poor balance and a fear of falling. As extrinsic factors we identified the treatment with antidepressants, neuroleptics and different cardiovascular medications, adverse environmental factors in the patients' home and the use of walking aids. Within the diagnoses, falls were most frequent in Parkinson's disease (62 %), syncope (57%) and polyneuropathy (48 %). According to these findings falls in neurological in-patients are twice as frequent as in an age-matched population living in the community. Falls in neurological patients are particularly linked to medication and disorders affecting gait and balance.

ABSTRACT: Balance control relies on accurate perception of visual, somatosensory and vestibular cues. Sensory flow is impaired in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and little is known about the ability of the sensory systems to adapt after neurological lesions reducing sensory impairment. The aims of the present study were to verify whether:1.balance rehabilitation administered in a challenging sensory conditions would improve stability in upright posture 2.the improvement in a treated sensory condition would transfer to a non treated sensory condition METHODS: Fifty three persons with MS, median (min-max) EDSS score of 5 (2.5-6.5), participated in a RCT and were randomly assigned to two groups. The Experimental group received balance rehabilitation aimed at improving motor and sensory strategies. The Control group received rehabilitation treatment which did not include training of sensory strategies. Persons with MS were blindly assessed by means of a stabilometric platform with eyes open, eyes closed and dome, on both firm surface and foam. Anterior-posterior and medio-lateral sway, velocity of sway and the length of Center of Pressure (CoP) trajectory were calculated in the six sensory conditions.Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation 06/2014; 11(1):100. · 2.57 Impact Factor
Article: The impact of neurological disorders on the risk for falls in the community dwelling elderly: a case-controlled study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Owing to a lack of data, our aim was to evaluate and compare the impact of various common neurological diseases on the risk for falls in independent community dwelling senior citizens. Prospective case-controlled study. General hospital. Of 298 consecutive patients and 214 controls enrolled, 228 patients (aged 74.5±7.8; 61% women) and 193 controls (aged 71.4±6.8; 63% women) were included. The exclusion criteria were as follows: for patients, severe disability, disabling general condition or severe cognitive impairment; for controls, any history of neurological disorders or disabling medical conditions; and for both, age below 60 years. A matching process led to 171 age-matched and gender-matched pairs of neurological patients and healthy controls. A 1-year incidence of falls based on patients' 12-month recall; motor and non-motor function tests to detect additional risk factors. 46% of patients and 16% of controls fell at least once a year. Patients with stroke (89%), Parkinson's disease (77%), dementia (60%) or epilepsy (57%) had a particularly high proportion of fallers, but even subgroups of patients with the least fall-associated neurological diseases like tinnitus (30%) and headache (28%) had a higher proportion of fallers than the control group. Neuropathies, peripheral nerve lesions and Parkinson's disease were predisposing to recurrent falls. A higher number of neurological comorbidities (p<0.001), lower Barthel Index values (p<0.001), lower Activities-Specific Balance Confidence scores (p<0.001) and higher Center of Epidemiological Studies Depression scores (p<0.001) as well as higher age (p<0.001) and female gender (p=0.003) proved to further increase the risk of falls. Medical practitioners, allied health professionals and carers should be aware that all elderly neurological patients seen in outpatient settings are potentially at high risk for falls; they should query them routinely about previous falls and fall risks and advise them on preventive strategies.BMJ Open 01/2013; 3(11):e003367. · 1.58 Impact Factor
Article: Tai Chi-based exercise program provided via telerehabilitation compared to home visits in a post-stroke population who have returned home without intensive rehabilitation: study protocol for a randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The incidence of strokes in industrialized nations is on the rise, particularly in the older population. In Canada, a minority of individuals who have had a stroke actually receive intensive rehabilitation because most stroke patients do not have access to services or because their motor recovery was judged adequate to return home. Thus, there is a considerable need to organize home-based rehabilitation services for everyone who has had a stroke. To meet this demand, telerehabilitation, particularly from a service center to the patient's home, is a promising alternative approach that can help improve access to rehabilitation services once patients are discharged home.Methods/design: This non-inferiority study will include patients who have returned home post-stroke without requiring intensive rehabilitation. To be included in the study, participants will: 1) not be referred to an Intensive Functional Rehabilitation Unit, 2) have a Rankin score of 2 or 3, and 3) have a balance problem (Berg Balance Scale score between 46 and 54). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the teletreatment group or the home visits group. Except for the delivery mode, the intervention will be the same for both groups, that is, a personalized Tai Chi-based exercise program conducted by a trained physiotherapist (45-minute session twice a week for eight consecutive weeks). The main objective of this research is to test the non-inferiority of a Tai Chi-based exercise program provided via telerehabilitation compared to the same program provided in person at home in terms of effectiveness for retraining balance in individuals who have had a stroke but do not require intensive functional rehabilitation. The main outcome of this study is balance and mobility measured with the Community Balance and Mobility Scale. Secondary outcomes include physical and psychological capacities related to balance and mobility, participants' quality of life, satisfaction with services received, and cost-effectiveness associated with the provision of both types of services.Study/trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01848080.Trials 01/2014; 15(1):42. · 2.21 Impact Factor

Falls,especially in the elderly,are a common problem in
daily clinical practice and often lead to a loss of mobil-
ity and independence [1]. In a community based cross
sectional study it has been shown that from one-fourth
up to one-third of the persons 65 years or older reported
a fall in the previous year [2, 3]. In the elderly, between
10% and 15% of the falls result in serious injury and be-
tween 5% and 10% cause a fracture [4]. Furthermore,
falls result in increasing costs for the public health sys-
tem [5], since the elderly are the fastest growing age
group in the western population.Many paroxysmal and
acute neurological diseases lead to falls since disturb-

■ Abstract The prevalence of falls
among neurological patients is un-
known,although disturbances of
gait and posture are common.Falls
may lead to burdens for the pa-
tient,the caregivers and the health
system.We designed a prospective
study and investigated all patients
for a history of falls admitted to a
neurological hospital during a 100-
day period.Clinical investigation
was carried out and several disease
specific rating scales were applied.
A total of 548 patients were investi-
gated.Of all patients 34% had
fallen once or more often during
the last twelve months.A distur-
bance of gait was blamed for the
fall in 55%,epileptic seizures in
12%,syncope in 10% and stroke in
7%.Intrinsic risk factors for falls
were high age,disturbed gait,poor
balance and a fear of falling.As ex-
trinsic factors we identified the
treatment with antidepressants,
neuroleptics and different cardio-
vascular medications,adverse envi-
ronmental factors in the patients'
home and the use of walking aids.
Within the diagnoses,falls were
most frequent in Parkinson's dis-
ease (62%),syncope (57%) and
polyneuropathy (48%).According
to these findings falls in neurologi-
cal in-patients are twice as frequent
as in an age-matched population
living in the community.Falls in
neurological patients are particu-
larly linked to medication and dis-
orders affecting gait and balance.

ances of stance and gait are frequent symptoms in neu-
rological patients.However,data concerning prevalence,
risk factors and aetiology of falls in neurological in-pa-
tients have never been investigated,although in clinical
experience falls among neurological patients are fre-
quent.Owing to the typical sequelae of neurological dis-
eases affecting integrative motor functions like balance
regulation and gait,a high prevalence of falls in neuro-
logical patients is expected,which might be an underes-
timated problem.
It was the aim ofthe present study to assess the preva-
lence of falls in neurological in-patients and to investi-
gate which neurological diseases most frequently lead to
a history of falls. Special attention has been paid to the
co-morbidity of falls and gait disorders in neurological
patients. Therefore, we designed a prospective study
over 100 days,collecting data of all in-patients admitted
to a neurological hospital.Disease related data and risk
factors for falls are analysed in detail.
■ Epidemiological and environmental bases
Data were collected in the department of neurology in Kiel,which is
a university hospital with 64 beds, including 6 on an intensive care
unit and 6 on a stroke unit. The department provides neurological
health care for about 500,000 people in Schleswig-Holstein,mainly in-
habitants of the city of Kiel,but also the surrounding villages.Special
research interests of the department are basic and clinical research of
movement disorders,pain and cerebro-vascular disorders.
■ Patients and general procedures
During 100 consecutive days all patients admitted to the department
of neurology as in-patients (including emergencies) were investi-
gated at the first day of hospital stay for the occurrence of an acute fall
or the history of falls.Besides collecting the demographic data,every
patient was examined by one oftwo neurologists who are experienced
with postural and gait disorders. If the history of falls was positive
(self report),the patients underwent further tests and a special ques-
tionnaire. Bedridden and unconscious patients were excluded, since
gait and posture could not be investigated in these patients. It was
noted whether the patients were admitted to neurology as a cause of
a fall. All patients gave their informed consent to participate in the
study,which was approved by the ethical committee of the university.
■ Falls
A fall was defined as an unintentional event that results in a person
coming to rest on the ground or on another lower level [6].If a patient
had one or more falls during the past 12 months a detailed medical
history of the falls and further tests were performed. We checked
whether the patient had fallen because of a gait disorder, syncope,
seizures,and a sudden stroke,alcohol intoxication or for reasons that
remained unclear.A gait disorder was defined as a visible disturbance
of gait exceeding a normal slowing of gait velocity and shortening of
the steps,as it is normal with ageing [7–8].After the patients had been
discharged,the neurological diagnosis that caused falls and/or a gait
disorder was ascertained and for data evaluation the patient was clas-
sified in one of 27 common neurological diagnoses (Table 1).
Environmental factors associated with the fall such as wet or slip-
pery surface, obstacles on the ground, dimmed light, barefoot walk-
ing or walking with inadequate footwear were noted. The time pa-
tients were lying helpless on the ground until they were helped was
asked.The use of walking aids and the use of drugs that might be co-
factors of falls (alcohol abuse, antidepressants, antihypertensives,
barbiturates, benzodiazepines, betablockers, diuretics, digitalis and
neuroleptics) were checked.The normal,self-selected walking speed
was measured in each patient. Besides the clinical data, the ambula-
tion index [9], balance performance [10], and the mini-mental state
examination [11] were carried out.Additionally,a pull-test and stand-
ing up from a chair were rated according to the "Unified's Parkinson's
disease rating scale"(part III) [12].Rating scales for the consequences
of peripheral and head trauma due to the fall were constructed. Pe-
ripheral trauma: 0=no injury; 1=soft tissue damage; 2=severe
sprain with pain longer than 24 hours, 3=fracture without surgery;
4=fracture with surgery and/or prolonged hospitalisation. Head
trauma: 0=no injury; 1=head trauma (without loss of conscious-
ness); 2=head trauma with loss of consciousness (without lesion
shown on CT or MRI);3=contusion of the brain and/or intracerebral
bleeding or subdural haemorrhage (without surgery);4=severe head
trauma with the need for surgery due to contusion and/or intracere-
bral bleeding or subdural/epidural haemorrhage. The scores for
standing balance [10], ambulation index [6] and the mini-mental
state examination (MMSE) [11] were carried out in each patient.
■ Statistical analysis
The prevalence of falls was calculated for the whole sample of pa-
tients.The prevalence of falls was also calculated for different neuro-
logical diagnoses. Further calculations were performed for the 10
neurological disorders with the highest proportion (diagnosis spe-
cific prevalence) of falls.Calculations were performed by use of SPSS®
statistical software used on an ordinary PC.For numeric values such
as the gait velocity and the results of the several rating scales, the
mean and standard deviation were calculated. For the identification
of risk factors for the occurrence of falls,correlations (Kendall's τ-B)
and logistic regression analyses were computed (α-level of signifi-
cance p<0.05). Significant differences between demographic data
and measurements were calculated by use of the Mann-Whitney U-
test (α-level of significance p<0.05).
During 100 consecutive days 548 patients were investi-
gated. 59 patients, mostly from the intensive care unit
had to be excluded since they were bedridden or uncon-
scious leaving 489 patients for further analysis. 50.4%
were males, 49.6% females. The mean age was
58.8±17.2 years.
■ Prevalence and aetiology of falls
in neurological patients
The results are summarised in Figs.1–2 and Tables 1–3.
165 (34%) ofthe total of489 patients experienced one or
more falls during the last 12 months.About 16% of the
fallers (or 7% of all patients) were admitted to the neu-
rology department because of a fall.The mean age of the
fallers was higher (62.8±15.5 years) than in the non-
fallers (55.3±16.6; p<0.001). 52% were females, 48%
Page 3
males. 36% of the patients experienced one fall, the
other 64% had fallen more frequently (see figure 2). A
loss of consciousness was responsible for the fall in 22%
(12% epileptic seizures, 10% syncope). In 78% of the
fallers no loss of consciousness was found. In most of
these patients (55%) an underlying gait disorder was
found to be responsible for the falls.A further 7% had
fallen due to a sudden stroke and 1% due to acute alco-
hol intoxication.In 15% the reason of the fall remained
unclear to the patient and the investigator (see Table 1).
■ General and extrinsic risk factors for falls
Most ofthe falls occurred inside the home (53%),14% in
other buildings and 33% outside.In the detailed fall his-
tory 29% reported that they had fallen because they
tripped over an obstacle. 18% said that they found no
means of holding on to,for example furniture.7% made
wet ground,6% poor lighting,6% inadequate shoes,5%
walking bare foot and 4% a slippery ground responsible
for the fall.51% reported,that they were not able to stand
up alone.68% of the fallers were found by a helping per-
son within the first two minutes, but 7% waited longer
than 30 minutes and even 4% more than one hour.44%
ofthe fallers used a walking aid,which was a stick in 14%,
a crutch in 3%, a rollator frame in 14% and 14% were
partially wheelchair bound.In 69% the walking aid was
judged to be sufficient to improve an underlying disturb-
ance of gait and posture by the investigator.However,in

31% the walking aid was considered to be insufficient.In-
terestingly,at the time of discharge the walking aid was
changed only in 3% of the fallers. The number of falls
within the past year correlated (Kendall's τ-B) with the
use of walking aids (τ-B=0.15;p<0.05).
Where there was a peripheral trauma due to the fall
(68% of all fallers),9% had a fracture and needed to be
treated as in-patients,whereas 59% had a bruise or soft
tissue damage. Peripheral traumata due to a fall were
most severe in patients with pain syndromes, Parkin-
son's disease (PD) and polyneuropathy (PNP).Only 5%
(or 9 patients) suffered from head trauma, which was
severe in two patients and both underwent surgery.
Head trauma was most severe in seizures, which is
clearly due to unconsciousness and the lack of any pro-
tective reflexes.In patients with a psychogenic disorder,
no head trauma was found,and peripheral traumata in
these patients were mostly soft tissue damage.
Of the drugs that are known to be risk factors for
falls, clear differences were found between fallers and
non-fallers.39% of the fallers were treated with antihy-
pertensiva (versus 28% in the non-fallers),16% diuret-
ics (versus 6%), 15% neuroleptics (versus 6%), 14%
benzodiazepines (versus 7%),14% betablockers (versus
10%), 13% antidepressants (versus 8%), 7% digitalis
(versus 1%) and 6% had an alcohol abuse (versus 2%).
Logistic regression analysis revealed a correlation be-
tween the occurrence of falls and medication with digi-
talis (r=0.064, p<0.05), diuretics (r=0.061, p<0.05)
and neuroleptics (r=0.062, p<0.05). The number of
falls was correlated (Kendall's τ-B) with antihyperten-
siva (τ-B=0.15, p<0.05), benzodiazepines (τ-B=0.12,
p<0.05) and neuroleptics (τ-B=0.19,p<0.05).
■ Intrinsic and disease related risk factors for falls
There was no significant difference in the mean hospital
stay,the duration of the neurological disease,the gait ve-
locity, and the score in the MMSE between fallers and
non-fallers.However,the mean MMSE was near the cut-
off value (<24 points) for dementia for the fallers
(25.1±4.6 points).Balance performance was correlated
with the values of the MMSE (p<0.01).In the pull-test,
but not in balance performance [10] the fallers had a sig-
nificantly (τ-B=0.13,p<0.05) worse performance than
the non-fallers. Falls were correlated with high age
(Kendall's τ-B=0.17,p<0.01),the presence of a gait dis-
order (τ-B=0.32,p<0.01),and PD symptoms like freez-
ing episodes (τ-B=0.14, p<0.05), problems in getting
up from a chair (τ-B=0.14,p<0.05) and problems with
turns (τ-B=0.21,p<0.01).The number of falls was cor-
related with balance performance (τ-B=–0.27,p<0.01)
and the score in the pull-test (τ-B=0.22,p<0.01).Of all
investigated patients 39% reported a fear of falling,
which was present in 57% of the fallers,but only 24% of
the non-fallers (p<0.001).Fear of falling was correlated
with the number of falls in the past year (τ-B=0.17,
p<0.05), female sex (τ-B=0.21, p<0.01), high age (τ-
B=0.94, p<0.05), the use of walking aids (τ-B=0.24,
p<0.001) and pain during walking (τ-B=0.17,p<0.01).
In our sample of fallers (n=165), 20% were PD pa-
tients, 18% stroke patients, 8% patients with seizures,
7% patients with polyneuropathy,7% multiple sclerosis
(MS) patients, 5% patients with a pain syndrome, 4%
patients with spinal disorders,2% syncope,2% patients
with motor neuron disease (MND) and 2% patients with
subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (SAE) (see

Table 1 and 2).Within the group of patients who experi-
enced a fall,falls were most frequent in the following 10
diagnoses (see Fig.2): Parkinson's disease (PD 62%),
syncope (57%), polyneuropathy (PNP 48%), epilepsy
(41%),spinal disorders (SD 41%),motor neuron disease
(MND 33%),multiple sclerosis (MS 31%),psychogenic
disorders (29%),stroke (22%) and patients with a pain
syndrome (21%).The number of falls was highest in pa-
tients with syncope,followed by PD,PNP and MND (see
Fig.2).Interestingly,in psychogenic disorders the num-
ber of the reported falls was also very high and the value
for the gait velocity was the slowest of all groups. Bal-
ance performance and the score in the pull-test were
worst in MS, PNP, MND and patients with a pain syn-
drome. However, the number of patients in the groups
syncope and MND was limited (below 5) and therefore
data should be interpreted with caution.
■ Prevalence and impact of falls
Studies on the prevalence offalls are surprisingly rare,al-
though falls are a frequent cause of disability.Indeed the
conclusions of such studies must be interpreted cau-
tiously because the patient selection ofthe reported stud-
ies have defined limits.This is the first study assessing the
prevalence offalls in neurological in-patients that is pre-
sumably selecting the most severely affected patient
group among the diagnoses that have been studied.
Population-based studies found the prevalence of
falls between one-third and one-fourth of the persons
older than 65 years [2, 13]. In the population of people
living in the community aged between 60 and 64 years
(comparable to our sample) the prevalence of falls was
found to be between 15 and 20% [1,3].We have shown
that every third in-patient in the neurology department
had experienced one or more falls in the past 12 months.
Thus,the prevalence of falls is nearly twice as high com-
pared with a community population of similar age [2].
However,the prevalence in our study might even be un-
derestimated, since all unconscious and bedridden pa-
tients were excluded.
■ Aetiology and general risk factors for falls
It is selfevident that falls have a multi-factorial aetiology
[1] and age is an important factor for falls. In our pa-
tients,fallers were about 8 years older than the non-fall-
ers.However,in neurological in-patients it is interesting
to note that most of the falls (55%) could be directly
related to a gait disturbance. Additionally, postural
disturbances are strongly correlated with falls.Both are
typical findings in neurological patients.
Risk factors for a fall are divided into intrinsic and
extrinsic factors.We were able to identify age,disturbed
gait,poor balance (pull-test),a fear of falling but not de-
mentia [15] as intrinsic risk factors for falls.Female sex
was not found to be a risk factor in our population,but
has been previously described [16] Concerning extrin-
sic risk factors, e.g. environmental factors, most of the
patients reported that they tripped over an obstacle.
Of the drugs that may cause a fall, antidepressants,
antihypertensives,diuretics and digitalis were identified
as risk factors. We know that drugs are risk factors for
falls [17],especially when a "multi-medication"is used,
but it is difficult to disentangle how many gait disor-
ders/falls are directly caused by drugs, since gait disor-
ders and falls are often caused by multiple diseases and
factors [18]. Nevertheless, the present data show that
medications lowering blood pressure have a potential to
cause falls irrespective of the neurological diagnosis.
This may be an important point for the management of
patients with gait disorders.Also the use of walking aids
was identified as a risk factor of falls,which is simply re-
flecting the fact that patients who fell are frequently us-
ing walking aids.However,the walking aid that was used
by the faller at the time of admittance was rated to be in-
sufficient in a third of the patients and was changed to
improve gait less than needed,indicating the need for an
optimised walking aid prescription.As most of the falls
occurred at home and most falls occur because of trip-
ping over an obstacle it may also be useful to improve
the conditions in the houses of handicapped people.
■ Disease related risk factors for falls
As we have demonstrated, most of the falls were linked
with a gait disorder as a typical expression of a neuro-
logical disease.This underlines the high risk for falls in
neurological patients.The largest groups offallers in our
sample of patients were patients with PD and stroke,fol-
lowed by patients with epileptic seizures and PNP.More
important, within the diagnoses, falls were most fre-
quent in patients with PD, syncope, PNP, spinal disor-
ders (SD) and MND.Also every third patient with MS re-
ported one or more falls within the last year. All these
groups of neurological diseases have in common a dis-
turbance of the sensory motor system.Since Parkinson's
disease is a frequent neurological disorder [19], a high
frequency of falls in this group is of outstanding impor-
tance for the clinical neurologist. The number of falls
was very high and peripheral traumata were among the
severest in PD.PD patients who have a high risk for falls
were identified to have freezing episodes, difficulties
with turns and problems to get up from a chair.
Also the large group of patients with a sensory deficit
as a typical symptom of PNP have a high risk for falls,
and the number of falls per year was also high. Besides
Page 6
in syncope, the fall frequency per year was also high in
psychogenic disorders.Interestingly,these patients also
had the slowest gait velocity, confirming a previous
study [20]. However, balance was only mildly affected
(see Table 2).The number offalls in patients with epilep-
tic seizures was the lowest, which might be due to the
fact that a large proportion of patients are admitted to
the department for diagnostics concerning the occur-
rence of a first seizure.
In conclusion,we have demonstrated,apparently for
the first time,that the prevalence of falls among neuro-
logical in-patients is very high,bearing burdens for the
caregivers and high costs for the health system. Falls

which most frequently lead to falls (PD, syncope, PNP,
SD and epileptic disorders) and of these groups PD pa-
tients are particularly in danger of falling.However,fur-

WASHINGTON (AP) - The company that employed the Washington Navy Yard shooter pulled his access to classified material for two days in August when mental health problems became evident, but restored it quickly and never told Navy officials about the withdrawal, The Associated Press has learned.
DALLAS (AP) - It was the same time, 12:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22. It was the same place, downtown Dallas.

Breast Surgery reviews in Denver
They specialize in mammogram, bone density and its geared toward women so it's a really nice service and I would recommend it. I was pleased with their service because it's specific to a women. SO many times when you go in for a mammogram or something like that you go to a general department so the more they focus on a specialty like women I think they will do a better job. They are very friendly and make an effort to get your old records and compare, etc."
Dr. pacemaker, no MRI is permitted, and localized radiation, where a balloon & catheter is inserted for a one week period.Through it all, Dr. "
The prep work for breast surgery is brutal. One undergos a nuclear medicine procedure in which radioactive material is inserted into the body to identify the lead lymph node that will be removed to see if the cancer has spread. If it is clean they do not remove additional ones. Then they insert metal rods in the area that the surgeon will remove followed up with a mammogram. If you can survive this process you can survive anything. At the initial appointment the surgeon (part of the Oncology Team) sat down with me and explained the procedures and the what ifs. She also made drawings to explain the steps of the surgery. I view her annual follow-up exams/visits and mammograms as a bridge to a healthy life."
I had an amazing trip through cancer-land. He doesn't do just what he's most skilled at, but he helps you overall with your mental, physical and emotional attitude as well. I was fortunate that I got to through two of the latest programs in cancer detection and taking care of it. Before I had surgery I had five shots around the cancer. When he got in there he was able to take out one little lymph node and not a bunch like they used to. He was able to right away tell my husband that there was no cancer anywhere else in my body. He and his nurse are especially wonderful people. I would knock the door down to get to them again."
He is a busy man but it is not too bad getting into him. He spends a lot of time with all his patients and so there is some wait time because he spends so much time with you when he comes to see you. He's got a beautiful new office. His staff is real good. He's perfect, he knows what he's doing."

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

Another DaVita recipe, for renal and diabetic renal patients. Although my late Dear Sweet Eddiebear was not wild about chicken because he got so much of it, I was able to get him to eat it if I cooked it this way for him, and he liked it served with rice(another one of those things served more often than he cared for) Boneless chicken pieces may be used in this recipe. Be sure to check for doneness in 20 minutes if using pieces. Carbohydrate content is less than 1 gram if sugar free lemonade is used.

As previous posters said, you may as well use it, and pay in full if you can. If you decide to close, it will remain on CR for 10 years from closure date. Whether you use or cancel, there is no time limit for it to not affect you, as all 3 of your bureaus took the inquiry.

This hotel is nicely tucked away behind the Holiday Inn but it is by no means behind in their level of service. We had some hiccups with the shuttle service from the airport but the Alejandro (frontdesk agent) kept us in touch with what was going on. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and caters for all your needs while away from home and on a long stay... The customer service is wonderful and only needs some work on the Club membership recognition. (one of the reasons for being a member)... The breakfast was wonderful on each of the morning (no complaints there)... The basketball court blew me away and I do plan to visit again with my kids and the rest of my family... I must commend all the staff for their professionalism and friendliness but give two thumbs up to Alejandro who made our stay most enjoyable.

EMPORIA, KAS. — The Emporia City Commission on Feb. 5 approved tax abatement incentives for Hostess Brands L.L.C., setting the stage for the Kansas City-based snack cakes maker to expand its plant in Emporia.
Hostess submitted its expansion plans to the board of directors of the Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas, who in turn presented its recommendations for the project to the Emporia City Commission on Dec. 11, 2013. The Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas board of directors approved the agreement on Jan. 10.
When the expansion plans first were announced in December, Richard Seban, president of Hostess Brands, called Emporia "an important facility for Hostess."
"We are very appreciative of the ongoing support of the local authorities, and we are delighted to be making additional investments in this great community," he said. "The expansion and upgrades will enable Hostess to increase production capacity for our iconic snack cakes and enhance overall efficiencies as we move forward."
Mr. Seban said plans call for the addition of an approximately 36,000-square-foot warehouse building, the installation of a new Auto-Bake production line, and additional equipment upgrades and purchases. The total investment is expected to exceed $30 million, he said, and an additional 50 full-time employees will be hired.
The total investment in the warehouse building is expected to be $3.5 million, while $24 million will go toward adding equipment, $2.5 million toward leasehold improvements and $1.575 million toward payroll.
No timeline has been given for when the expansion will begin.

The Poitou-Charentes/Vendee region
The beautiful unspoiled region of Poitou-Charente is located south of the Loire valley and extends down as far as the Perigord region. It is second only in its warm climate to the Cotes D'Azur making it the second hottest region in the whole or France.It is a region of undulating countryside interspersed with gorgeous rivers and lakes. It is dotted with historic towns, fabulous architecture and charming villages, but in spite of all its rural charm the region still manages to offer its many visitors lots of activities to suit all tastes, including such places as the amazing Futoroscope, the theme park that is loved by children from 9 to 90!
Why not come in August, visit the nearby town of Confolens and experience the wonderful international music festival concluding with an amazing firework display set on the River Vienne that wends its way through this most beautiful and lively town renowned for its fine bars and restaurants.
L'Isle Jourdain
Our local village of Le Vigeant is a small community overlooking the beautiful Vienne river and although slightly off the beaten track Le Vigeant still offers an amazing amount of diverse activities including canoeing,fishing , swimming, horseriding, windsurfingand every weekend throughout the summmer ,bungee jumping.
There are also excellent walks and cycling routes. Just a little further, 4 kilometres is the delightful little town of L'Isle Jordain with its array of cafes, bars and shops including a large supermarket, garage ,petrol station and bank. The town can be viewed from a magnificent viaduct which spans the river Vienne and is the venue for the weekend bungee jumps for those brave enough to try! Closer to home (2km) we have the famous Circuit du Val de Vienne ,home to car and motor cycle racing, a very exciting day out for all the family.

"Great house for a group"
My husband and myself stayed here with our 21 year old son, his girlfriend and our 18 year old daughter as an end of exams - end of University get away before they disappear off into work and the youngest started university.
The house is an ideal size for this size group, the bedrooms are spacious and there is plenty of rooms and outside space so that you are not all under eachother's feet.

"lovely holiday home"
we found the service excellent including being rung a few days before leaving home to see if we wished to have groceries bought ready for our arrival.
The house was beatiful and very clean, sumptious bedding and lots of fluffy white towels.the garden and pool was also lovely including the gazebo creating a fly and wasp free zone for outside eating.
We loved the peace and tranquility of the area. would definatly reccomend to friends

AttributeDelegator provides a class method to ActiveRecord models that dynamically generates getter/setter to treat the attributes of a has_one model like native attributes. This is particularly useful because it allows the delegated attributes to be assigned via model.attributes= {}, such as by a form submission.
