Dr. Adam Levine, an assistant professor at Brown University Medical School, traveled to Libya with International Medical Corps (IMC) during August, just as rebels were beginning to overthrow the Gaddafi regime. The following are excerpts from his travel blog, which first appeared on www.epijournal.com .
Pain is the most common symptom prompting one to seek emergency care. Over the past two decades numerous studies have addressed the inadequacy of pain management provided by the medical community. In 2005, approximately 10 million Americans were being treated on long term opioid therapy for non cancer related pain.
I'm a believer that if an adult patient presents to the ED with chest pain, unless you are very, very positive the diagnosis is not cardiac, you owe it to the patient to pursue a cardiac work-up. Sounds pretty straight forward to me – but many would disagree.
Are you ready for an acute inflammatory mediator for sepsis that is consistent and works just as we'd expect it to? Well, it's here: procalcitonin. Or is it? It can certainly claim that it works just as well as former acute phase reactants and inflammatory mediators. But these predecessors all suffer from a similar, critical problem - they are somewhat sensitive but not very specific.
The first 24 hours for a patient with early signs of sepsis are critical. The first hour after this patient arrives in the emergency department is equivalent to the "golden" hour of trauma. The initial evaluation, with particular emphasis on the laboratory findings are vital in the effective management of a septic patient.
"Set phasers to full body scan!" Radar gun technology similar to that used by police to catch speeding cars may someday be used to monitor vital signs in your emergency department.
A Swedish EP on an observership in New York City reflects on the differences in care between the two developed nations.
More than just intubation, a short fiberoptic scope can check for edema, infection, burns, or foreign bodies. And single use and sheathed scopes are bringing the usefulness of this technology back into the ED.
On January 28, 2011, 28-year-old single mom Courtney Capps brought her 5-year-old child to the emergency department at Huguley Medical Center in Burleson, TX for evaluation of paronychia. According to Ms. Capps, the emergency physician asked about the child's race, and, when told that the child was bi-racial, grunted, then asked, "What does your family think about that?"
Long after the elected legislators have cast their votes, the agency administrators write the rules and regulations that interpret the law and give it meaning. The Accountable Care Act is poised to fundamentally change how we practice emergency medicine, but the scope and impact of those changes will be determined by the rule writers.

Scars: Just Open Wounds That Don't BleedMy poor insane son…Dib winced as though the words in his memory had formed into a fist, and targeted him in his already aching heart. His knees were pulled to his chest; his arms were wrapped around them tightly, as if he were trying to use his limbs as a shield from the hurt. However, a physical defense only hinders an outward enemy's progress. An enemy of the mind isn't fazed in the least by such a display.An enemy of the mind knows the weaknesses that no physical form ever could.Why do you have to be alive, Dib? I would've been better off with a moron as a brother. Oh wait, I already have that…Dib buried his head deeper as the ghost of past words twisted their spectral knife into his vulnerable soul. His eyes were closed so tightly that he was beginning to see particles of surreal floating lights. His fists were clenched hard enough to make the blood cells flee from hands. The sting of rejection and regret lent wings to his pain, all
Splendy X Reader 7 minutes in heaven LEMON!!Splendorman held out the hat to you "Go on [Y/N]! Choose something from the hat!" He smiled, as per usual. You put your hand in the hat, flinching at some sharp object, probably from Jeff and Jack. You finally found a soft, velvet feeling cloth, and pulled it out carefully. You looked at it. It was a polka dot black cloth, that matched Splendy's suit. You coughed slightly "Uhm.." You glanced at Splendy, who was now blushing. Ben and Jeff were doubled over laughing "Go on Splendy! I'm sure [Y/N] will help!" Ben chuckled. You felt yourself blush slightly, knowing what Ben meant. Splendor looked at you and walked to the cupboard. You followed, as did everyone else. Ben grinned "Not letting you two out unless I hear some action in there!!" He shouted, while Slenderman was closing the door. Slendy started saying things to Ben and Jeff, telling them to leave.The cupboard was small and dark. Splendy looked straight at you "So.. What actually happens in here?" He whispered. You shrugged "I gu

You sighed and looked at your broken laptop."Well, (sister's name) poured Hot chocolate on it..." You mumbled, now very pissed off. You had gone to run some errands while your sister (S/n), had managed to spill your hot chocolate all over your laptop, then just threw your clean clothes on top of it, doing nothing about it.Then when you came home and noticed the, now cold, chocolate on the desk and you clean clothes on it, you went pale, throwing the clothes onto the floor and seeing your wet computer. After chewing your sister out, you called Estonia."Well... You might be able to save all your stuff if you hurry up and transfer your stuff.." He said, looking at you through his glasses."God, this is gonna cost me a lot...." You hissed under your breath, wanting to choke your sister. He nodded and turned back to the computer."I could

Zim X Reader: Weirdest Night EverYou have lived here all of your life. Days, weeks, months, years have passed by with nothing out of the ordinary occuring whatsoever. It was an uneventful town. And if anyone had to ask you, your life was quite uneventful as well.Your life had been and, as you assume, always will be average. You believed you were somewhere in the middle when it came to looks with your (h/c) hair and deep (e/c) eyes. No, it was nothing for anyone to make a fuss over. You were a high schooler and you had never had a boyfriend. Meanwhile, girls in your grade dressed in tank tops whether it be winter or summer, and they seemed to go out with different boys everyday. It hadn't fazed you that much; right from the beginning, kindergarten, you knew they were going to amount to this. You knew deep down you were better than all of those girls combined. Not everyone in your grade was like that; you had a couple of good friends and that was all.Your life changed, er, slightly, when a green-skinned fellow was sta

Zim DEMANDS to know!''You removed your headphones and grinned at him. To be honest, you were sometimes so confused as to how you both managed to stay together - But, to be fair. He COULD be sweet when he wanted to so you weren't really complaining!''I'm singing!..Wanna join in?'' You said with both your eyebrows raising as you gave him a sly smirk.'''Si-NGING'?! Zim
Rain~ Invader Zim X Reader - One Shot Here you sit in Mrs. Bitters class, listening to Dib and Zim talk back to one another, again. "Stop denying it Zim, I know you are an alien," Dib stated while crossing his arms over his chest. "I am not an alien Dib. I am a human! Must we go over this every time we meet?!" Zim said, waving his arms around. "I will expose your true identity Zim! It might not be today, might not be tomorrow, but I swear I will one day!" Dib yelled while walking back to his seat, one desk over from Zim's. You happen to be in the middle of the two, again. "Dib! Knock it off! If you actually want to graduate, I suggest you pay attention to this stupid text book that will get you no-where in life!" Mrs. Bitters screeched throughout the classroom. Thus, the boring day continues. The bell rang, signaling that the horrible school day ended. All the sko
Your Alien Friend - Invader Zim x Reader Chapter 3You had arrived at the park more than ten minutes ago and Dib had still not shown up. Was that e-mail just a hacker?"Psst! (y/n)!" you hear someone whisper. You turn around to see Dib behind a large tree, waving you over. You quickly speed walk over to him."Dib!" you say. "How in the name of heck did you get my e-mail address?" Dib shrugged."I have my ways." That made you feel uncomfortable. "Anyway, I need to warn you about something!" You had warnings left, right and centre! Who could you trust?"What?" You ask, impatient to get home. Dib fiddled his fingers."You're not going to believe this, but...Zim is an alien." You raise an eyebrow. Wasn't it clearly obvious?"I know?" you reply. Dib looked shocked. "You're not going to tease me for being an overly-obsessed freak?""No." You say, simply. Dib stood there, staring at you."Uhh...okay t
Love? Dib (Invader Zim) X Reader - One Shot You have known Dib for awhile now, meeting him in fifth grade. You both shared a big similarity; you both believed Zim was an alien. At first you didn't believe him, until he started pointing out all of Zim's flaws. With all this alien hunting going on, you two have gotten pretty close and have both grown feelings for each other. You also learned that Dib gets angry easily so it was fun to push his buttons from time to time. You were now currently hanging on the side of Dib's bed, waiting for a new plan to form its way inside of your head. Dib was on his computer, messing with some weird program again, talking on and on about it. It was stating to bore you. "Dib, I'm bored… Entertain me!" you shout, wanting to do anything at this point. "I don't know…. Hey, were you listening?" He asks, not wanting to repeat himself. "Your talking is bori
Your Alien Friend - Invader Zim x Reader Chapter 1As you slowly walk to your new school, you feel a pang of depression. New school, new kids, no friends. That's how it normally went for you. You sigh. Finally, you can see a giant sign above a building that says 'Skool'. Maybe the people who started the school couldn't spell properly. You push through the front door and make your way to your new class. The teacher, Mrs. Bitters, glared at you as you entered, making you feel slightly uncomfortable. You stood in front of the class, looking at everyone. The guy that caught your eye the most was a kid with green skin and no ears, who looked as if he was plotting an evil scheme as he stared at you. Talk about weird! There was also another kid with glasses that wasn't paying all that much attention to you. He was staring at the green kid with great concentration."Everyone" Mrs. Bitters started to speak. "This is (y/n)(y/s). She is the latest addition to the class...now hurry

A few more knocks then silence. 'What the hells wrong with this person? Why cant they just knock twice or something?' Opening up the front door, Dirk saw no one and sighed, annoyed. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard a small squeak. 'The hell was that?' he thought as he looked around then glanced down at the floor. There was a small baby in a cute little

Universal Type Server 4 adds Adobe CC support, QuickComp
updated 01:35 pm EDT, Tue October 1, 2013
New font rights features let clients pick authorized fonts
Extensis has released Universal Type Server 4, an upgrade to its font activation backend for publishing and illustration businesses. The new version includes plugins for the CC versions of Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InCopy. It also carries over the QuickComp feature from Suitcase Fusion 5, which lets people preview and compare multiple fonts simultaneously using templates for different publication types.
New font license management are said to make it easier to track licensing information, and convey that information to client users. Client apps can now see which fonts are licensed for which purposes, and filter them accordingly.
Some other improvements include custom color previews, a faster, more reliable PostgreSQL database, updated cache cleaning and corruption check tools, and compatibility with the latest versions of OS X and Windows. UTS4 is available in Lite, Professional, and Enterprise editions. Lite is $1,395 new, or $698 as an upgrade. Professional and Enterprise upgrades are both free with an annual service agreement.

Donald Freed is a pain in the ass. Not only does his writing not fit into any of the tidy categories that make the lives of theater critics easier, but he doesnt even compose his manuscripts on computer, preferring to do his writing in longhand. Im now two centuries out of step, he says, noting that the typewriter that he long eschewed is today obsolete.
This playwright, novelist and screenwriter, who teaches at USC and Loyola Marymount, is currently absorbing the reaction to his newest play, American Iliad, a sprawling journey through 100 years of American history that uses as its focus Richard Nixon. The 37th president was the subject of Freeds most popular work, Secret Honor, a one-man play in which a deposed Nixon drunkenly rambles on about his past and futilely searches for the fork in the road at which his career made a wrong turn. As essayed by Philip Baker Hall in its original Los Angeles Actors Theater production, and later in Robert Altmans film version, Secret Honor was a brilliant, malarial probe -- part stream-of-consciousness confession, part self-interrogation -- that not only examined the ruin of an ambitious politician but also looked into the diseased heart of the American Dream. Think Krapps Last Tape performed by Willy Loman -- or Captain Queeg.
American Iliad works on far more ambitious and fanciful levels than Secret Honor as it follows a 90-year-old Nixon on a near-death reverie in which he encounters John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and J. Edgar Hoover. The plays improbable muse is the Chautauqua circuit, that movement of moral searchers who sought to educate and unify post--Civil War America through public dialogue and mass meetings.
The same skills Richard Nixon possessed could have been used to help make the American Dream come true, Freed says. He could have been one of Chautauquas straw-hatted assembly leaders. He could have been the Music Man! Why did he instead become the psychocop of the American nightmare? Why didnt he grow up to be the Quaker hero his mother wanted him to be?
Such questions have stoked Freeds imagination for decades. In person, he hardly resembles a fevered polemicist or obsessed seeker of historical truths. At the handsome West Los Angeles home he shares with his wife, Patty, Freed -- a sonorous Westwood Brahmin who looks much younger than his 69 years -- cuts an impressively calm figure.
The Chicago-born Freed is mostly the product of Southern Jewish gentility; in 1939 his family moved to Alexandria, Louisiana, where his stepfather became a prosperous merchant thanks to the many military camps that sprang up in Rapides Parish before World War II. It was a cush life, complete with black servants, although the young Freed always felt a little bit the outsider, a sense that led him to adopt a Southern accent. The move south afforded him the kind of direct contact with African-Americans that Chicago would not have, but the Southern Babbitry, as he calls provincial Louisiana life at that time, always had an ominous undertone.
It ranged from a cheerful anti-Semitism to a Klan-ish ideology, he says, although I was never exposed to a nightmare version of that. And even Id put on minstrel shows in high school, which of course were deeply racist, but accepted.
Alexandria was a pleasant enough backwater, a place where Huey Longs ghost still strolled and where middle-class families opened their doors to soldiers for Sunday dinners. But peace brought profound change -- when the wartime boom soured, Freeds stepfather committed suicide. Although he wasnt exposed to much theater as a kid, bit by bit, from high school to community theater, the young Freed moved into acting and directing, eventually working at Chicagos Goodman Theater and spending a little time in New York.
Now he was acquiring skills and ambitions; now he felt it was time to bust out of Chicago for a more potent stage laboratory, not in New York or London, but -- in Tarzana. In 1955, hed received an invitation from an uncle to stay with him in Los Angeles, and, while earning money selling magazine subscriptions door to door, Freed landed a part in Terence Rattigans The Deep Blue Sea at an out-of-the-way theater in the town built by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. Before long, he acquired control of the Valley Playhouse, where he taught acting and staged indoor and outdoor productions of plays that were perhaps better known to local residents as films: Mister Roberts, Bus Stop, The Rainmaker, etc. In 1961, he took over the Coronet Theater in West Hollywood, first directing a successful Summer and Smoke, followed by Endgame.
Its good to remember that Freed, who is chiefly known today as a political playwright, was up until the end of the 1950s an apolitical stage director and actor, whose professional history is a significant part of Los Angeles overlooked theater past. But even provincial L.A. theater was feeling the currents of the ban-the-bomb and civil rights sentiments that were roiling the waters elsewhere in the arts. Freeds involvement in political action led him to join the Operation Bootstrap efforts to resurrect Watts following the 1965 riots, and to organize coffee klatches among segregated Los Angeles whites and blacks, eventually introducing members of the Black Panther Party into Westside and Valley parlors. However, the initial spur to Freeds activism was not racial injustice or the threat of nuclear annihilation, but something that had haunted many Jews for a generation: the trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

I've created Java app in Netbeans, today I moved that app into Maven project,
I've created all dependencies in
pom.xml, and application builds succesfuly and runs as before Maven migration.
However I have problem with deployment,
I was trying to use that Deployment of artifacts with FTP (Maven Deploy Plugin) but after inserting Netbeans project is broken.
My questions are:
What is easiest way to copy jar and maven files to some server by ftp or scp after pressing F6 in Netbeans (build button),
also how to run that app? before Maven I was using WinSCP to copy jar file, I've copied also lib directory with dependencies and I was using:
java -jar app.jar
Can Maven on remote host use java7 not system java? I have jdk7u4 untarred on server, and I'm using that to run my application. Can maven invoked by command line be handled by system java, but run application from java7 or I have to have only java7 in PATH?
Can Maven be bundled to single jar so I can run:

Google Will Offer Wi-Fi Opt-Out Tool To Improve User Privacy & Appease European Regulators
With the smoke still smoldering from Google's long-running battle over the collection of personal information via unsecured WiFi networks, the company says it's working on a service that will allow WiFi router owners to opt-out from being included in Google's location services.
In a blog post yesterday, Google says the opt-out will be available to people around the world.
Even though the wireless access point signals we use in our location services don't identify people, we think we can go further in protecting people's privacy. At the request of several European data protection authorities, we are building an opt-out service that will allow an access point owner to opt out from Google's location services. Once opted out, our services will not use that access point to determine users' locations.
Google has been in hot water for about 18 months now, since the first revelation that the company's Street View vehicles had been collecting personal information over unencrypted WiFi networks. Google has insisted that the data was collected accidentally, but that hasn't stopped some governments — particularly in Europe — from demanding increased privacy measures from Google. Many countries have determined that Google broke local privacy laws, but only one — France — has so far issued a financial penalty.
Google says the opt-out service will be available later this fall.

I have a 3x3 matrix as follows
ls 1 2 3
mic 1 d11 d12 d13
mic 2 d21 d22 d23
mic 3
where the matrix elements define distance between each component e.g. d11 is the distance between microphone 1 (mic 1) and loudspeaker 1 (ls 1).
each ls has a a specific gain value as follows 3x1
g1 // ls1
g2 // ls2
g3 // ls3
How would I divide each gain value to the corresponding elements within the distance matrix e.g. g1/d11, g1/d21 and g2/d12 ,g2/d22 etc and then store the values within a results matrix.

Bolt still considering 400m, long jump
Oct 10, 2012, 10:27 AM EST
Phew, we were concerned Usain Bolt might be getting boring there for a second.
Earlier this week the Jamaican sprinter, who holds world records in the only three events he runs, said he'd probably just attempt a repeat of his Beijing and London gold medal performances in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay instead of trying anything new. Now it sounds like he's changed his mind.
"It's just to find something else now to strive towards," Bolt told reporters in Tokyo. "There's a few things I've thought about. I could try another event. Maybe the long jump or the 400 meter."
He also discussed playing soccer and referred to himself as a legend at least twice.
Bolt had success in the 400m on the youth and junior circuits, and still holds the sixth fastest under-18 time, but decided to focus on the shorter events for the Olympics. His personal best of 45.28, set in 2007, wouldn't have even got him in the London final, which Greneda's Kirani James won with a world record 43.94.
As far as the long jump goes, world record holding American Mike Powell, who jumped 8.95m in 1991, said after the 2009 world championships that he thinks Bolt could be the first man to break 9.00m (nearly 30 feet) because the event is perfectly suited for his speed and height. Hopefully we'll find out if that's true in Rio.

Indianapolis – Indiana municipalities may now qualify for funds to help demolish blighted and abandoned homes in their communities through the Hardest Hit Fund Blight Elimination Program aimed at preventing foreclosures.
Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann, who oversees Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA), announced today that the U.S. Department of the Treasury approved the use of $75 million of Indiana's Hardest Hit Funds for its Blight Elimination Program. The Blight Elimination Program will provide funds to Indiana municipalities, through a competitive application process, to address foreclosure prevention and eliminate blighted, vacant and abandoned homes.
"Blighted homes drain our neighborhoods, communities and businesses of valuable resources," said Ellspermann. "The Blight Elimination Program will provide funds to address problematic homes, stabilizing property values, improving public safety and bolstering civic pride."
"Communities across Indiana continue to struggle with the negative effects of vacant and blighted homes, which in turn add to increased foreclosures and weaken neighborhood revitalization efforts," said U.S. Treasury Under Secretary Mary Miller. "The U.S. Treasury is pleased to work with the State of Indiana as they launch this new effort to eliminate neighborhood blight and strengthen communities hardest hit by the economic crisis."
These funds will be drawn from the $221.7 million Hardest Hit Fund money allocated to Indiana. The program would allow communities to demolish blighted properties and offer a variety of end uses for the newly cleared properties, such as green space or redevelopment.
The State of Indiana has been divided into funding divisions. Any municipality wishing to receive funds to demolish blighted homes must apply to IHCDA. Municipalities will apply for funds from the funding division in which their county is located. The first funding division application period will begin in February 2014.
"Indiana communities are burdened with thousands of blighted and abandoned homes, and many simply don't have the resources to address the issue," said Mark Neyland, Director of Asset Preservation for IHCDA. "The Blight Elimination Program is designed to help municipalities address some of their worst properties, helping to prevent foreclosures in neighborhoods, a significant step toward rebuilding local communities."
IHCDA estimates that approximately 4,000 blighted and/or abandoned homes in Indiana will be demolished through the Blight Elimination Program. Interested municipal leaders should visit www.877GetHope.org/blight to learn more and apply.

Article: Solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma of the thyroid: a case report and histological approach to plasma cells infiltrate in the thyroid gland.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from plasma cells. SEP mostly occurs in the upper respiratory tract. Thyroid gland is rarely affected (<78 cases). Methods/results: We describe the case of a 78-year-old woman presenting a rapidly enlarging palpable thyroid mass. Neck computed tomography scan showed enlargement of both thyroid lobes. Laboratory tests were normal, including serum protein level with no monoclonal gamma globulin peak. Cytology was suspicious for lymphoma. Biopsy showed an infiltrating neoplasm composed of atypical tumor cells with abundant cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei. These revealed diffuse immunoreactivity for CD138 and predominant staining for immunoglobulin kappa light chains. Clinical workup for multiple myeloma was negative. Conclusions: SEP should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly enlarging thyroid nodule and be distinguished from involvement of thyroid in multiple myeloma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, plasma cell granuloma and medullary carcinoma. Clinical correlation and immunohistochemistry are crucial in avoiding pitfalls.Acta clinica Belgica. 11/2014;

ABSTRACT: Our goal was to optimize the radiosensitizing potential of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies, when given concomitantly with preoperative radiotherapy in KRAS wild-type locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Based on pre-clinical studies conducted by our group, we designed a phase II trial in which panitumumab (6 mg/kg/q2 weeks) was combined with preoperative radiotherapy (45 Gy in 25 fractions) to treat cT3-4/N + KRAS wild-type LARC. The primary endpoint was complete pathologic response (pCR) (H0 = 5 %, H1 = 17 %, α = 0.05, β = 0.2). From 19 enrolled patients, 17 (89 %) were evaluable for pathology assessment. Although no pCR was observed, seven patients (41 %) had grade 3 Dworak pathological tumor regression. The regimen was safe and was associated with 95 % of sphincter-preservation rate. No NRAS, BRAF, or PI3KCA mutation was found in this study, but one patient (5 %) showed loss of PTEN expression. The quantification of plasma EGFR ligands during treatment showed significant upregulation of plasma TGF-α and EGF following panitumumab administration (p < 0.05). At surgery, patients with important pathological regression (grade 3 Dworak) had higher plasma TGF-α (p = 0.03) but lower plasma EGF (p = 0.003) compared to those with grade 0-2 Dworak. Our study suggests that concomitant panitumumab and preoperative radiotherapy in KRAS wild-type LARC is feasible and results in some tumor regression. However, pCR rate remained modest. Given that the primary endpoint of our study was not reached, we remain unable to recommend the use of panitumumab as a radiosensitizer in KRAS wild-type LARC outside a research setting.Targeted Oncology 10/2014; · 3.46 Impact Factor
Article: Extensive profiling of the expression of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 protein in normal and tumoral human tissues.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tryptophan catabolism by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) plays a key role in tumoral resistance to immune rejection. In humans, constitutive expression of IDO1 has been observed in several tumor types. However, a comprehensive view of its expression in normal and tumor tissues is still required in order to anticipate the risks and potential benefits of IDO1 inhibitors. Using a new validated monoclonal antibody to human IDO1, we performed an extensive immunohistochemical analysis of IDO1 expression in normal and tumor tissues. In normal tissues, IDO1 was expressed by endothelial cells in placenta and lung, and by epithelial cells in the female genital tract. It was also expressed in lymphoid tissues, in cells with a phenotype of mature dendritic cells (CD83+, DC-LAMP+, langerin-, CD123-, CD163-) distinct from plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Importantly, IDO1-expressing dendritic cells were not enriched in tumor-draining lymph nodes, in contrast with previously reported findings. IDO1-expressing cells were observed in a large fraction (505/866, 58%) of human tumors. These cells were tumor cells, endothelial cells and stromal cells, in proportions that varied depending on the tumor type. Tumors showing the highest proportions of IDO1-immunolabelled samples included carcinomas of endometrium and cervix, followed by kidney, lung, and colon. This hierarchy was confirmed by gene expression data mined from the TCGA database. Our observations indicate that the relevant IDO1 for tumoral immune escape is expressed in the tumor itself rather than in its draining lymph node. They also help selecting the most likely tumors to benefit from targeted therapy with IDO1 inhibitors.Cancer immunology research. 09/2014;

ABSTRACT: This practical atlas aims to help liver and non liver pathologists to recognize benign hepatocellular nodules on resected specimen. Macroscopic and microscopic views together with immunohistochemical stains illustrate typical and atypical aspects of focal nodular hyperplasia and of hepatocellular adenoma, including hepatocellular adenomas subtypes with references to clinical and imaging data. Each step is important to make a correct diagnosis. The specimen including the nodule and the non-tumoral liver should be sliced, photographed and all different looking areas adequately sampled for paraffin inclusion. Routine histology includes HE, trichrome and cytokeratin 7. Immunohistochemistry includes glutamine synthase and according to the above results additional markers such as liver fatty acid binding protein, C reactive protein and beta catenin may be realized to differentiate focal nodular hyperplasia from hepatocellular adenoma subtypes. Clues for differential diagnosis and pitfalls are explained and illustrated.World journal of hepatology. 08/2014; 6(8):580-95.

ABSTRACT: We report here the case of a 56-year-old man with well-documented cardiac light chain amyloidosis successfully imaged with F-flutemetamol PET/CT in 2011. A matched pair healthy volunteer was imaged in the same conditions, and no specific heart uptake could be detected. The present report suggests the potential benefit of this new pharmaceutical in this indication, as it has been recently reported for C-Pittsburgh compound B, but with the main advantage to benefit from the more practical half-life of F. Further prospective trials would, however, be required to define the potential impact of F-flutemetamol PET/CT in cardiac amyloidosis.Clinical nuclear medicine. 06/2014;

ABSTRACT: Progressive liver allograft fibrosis (LAF) is well known to occur long term, as shown by its high prevalence in late posttransplant liver biopsies (LBs). To evaluate the influence of clinical variables and immunosuppression on LAF progression, LAF dynamic was assessed in 54 pediatric liver transplantation (LT) recipients at 6 months, 3 and 7 years post-LT, reviewing clinical, biochemical data and protocol LBs using METAVIR and the liver allograft fibrosis score, previously designed and validated specifically for LAF assessment. Scoring evaluations were correlated with fibrosis quantification by morphometric analysis. Progressive LAF was found in 74% of long-term patients, 70% of whom had unaltered liver enzymes. Deceased grafts showed more fibrosis than living-related grafts (p = 0.0001). Portal fibrosis was observed in correlation with prolonged ischemia time, deceased grafts and lymphoproliferative disease (p = 0.001, 0.006 and 0.012, respectively). Sinusoidal fibrosis was correlated with biliary complications (p = 0.01). Centrilobular fibrosis was associated with vascular complications (p = 0.044), positive autoantibodies (p = 0.017) and high gamma-globulins levels (p = 0.028). Steroid therapy was not associated with reduced fibrosis (p = 0.83). LAF could be viewed as a dynamic process with mostly progression along the time. Peri- and post-LT-associated factors may condition fibrosis development in a specific area of the liver parenchyma.American Journal of Transplantation 06/2014; · 6.19 Impact Factor

Article: Endoplasmic reticulum stress does not contribute to steatohepatitis in obese and insulin resistant high-fat diet fed foz/foz mice.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Non-alcoholic fatty liver (steatosis) and steatohepatitis (NASH) are hepatic complications of metabolic syndrome. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is proposed as a crucial disease mechanism in obese and insulin resistant animals (such as ob/ob mice) with simple steatosis but its role in NASH remains controversial. We therefore evaluated the role of ER stress as a disease mechanism in foz/foz mice, which develop both the metabolic and the histological features that mimic human NASH. We explored ER stress markers in the liver of foz/foz mice in response to high-fat diet (HFD) after several time points. We then evaluated the effect of treatment with ER stress inducer tunicamycin, or conversely with ER protectant tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) on the metabolic and hepatic features. Foz/foz mice are obese, glucose intolerant and develop NASH characterized by steatosis, inflammation, ballooned hepatocytes and apoptosis from 6 weeks of HFD feeding. This was not associated with activation of the upstream unfolded protein response (phospho-eIF2α, IRE1α activity, spliced Xbp1). Activation of JNK and up-regulation of Atf4 and Chop transcripts were however compatible with a "pathologic" response to ER stress. We tested it by intervention experiments. Induction of chronic ER stress failed to worsen obesity, glucose intolerance and NASH pathology in HFD-fed foz/foz mice. In addition, ER protectant TUDCA, although reducing steatosis, failed to improve glucose intolerance, hepatic inflammation and apoptosis in HFD-fed foz/foz mice. These results show that signals driving hepatic inflammation, apoptosis and insulin resistance are independent of ER stress in obese, diabetic mice with steatohepatitis.Clinical Science 04/2014; · 4.86 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To investigate the activity and expression of EAAT2 glutamate transporter in both in vitro and in vivo models of cholestasis. This study was conducted on human hepatoblastoma HepG2 cell cultures, the liver of bile duct ligated rats and human specimens from cholestatic patients. EAAT2 glutamate transporter activity and expression were analyzed using a substrate uptake assay, immunofluorescence, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry, respectively. In HepG2 cells, cholestasis was mimicked by treating cells with the protein kinase C activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Under such conditions, EAAT2 transporter activity was decreased both at the level of substrate affinity and maximal transport velocity. The decreased uptake was correlated with intracellular translocation of EAAT2 molecules as demonstrated using immunofluorescence. In the liver of bile duct ligated rats, an increase in EAAT2 transporter protein expression in hepatocytes was demonstrated using immunohistochemistry. The same findings were observed in human liver specimens of cholestasis in which high levels of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase were documented in patients with biliary atresia and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3. This study demonstrates the alteration in glutamate handling by hepatocytes in liver cholestasis and suggests a potential cross-talk between glutamatergic and bile systems.World Journal of Gastroenterology 02/2014; 20(6):1554-64. · 2.55 Impact Factor

Article: Clinical variability in neurohepatic syndrome due to combined mitochondrial DNA depletion and Gaucher disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 1-year-old girl born to consanguineous parents presented with unexplained liver failure, leading to transplantation at 19 months. Subsequent partial splenectomy for persistent cytopenia showed the presence of foamy cells, and Gaucher disease was confirmed by homozygosity for the p.Leu483Pro mutation in the GBA gene. She was treated by enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Clinical follow-up showed mild developmental delay, strabismus, nystagmus and oculomotor apraxia. Biochemical studies revealed multiple respiratory chain deficiencies and a mosaic pattern of deficient complex IV immunostaining in liver and fibroblast. Molecular analysis identified a mtDNA depletion syndrome due to the homozygous p.Pro98Leu mutation in MPV17. A younger sister unaffected by mtDNA depletion, presented with pancytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. ERT for Gaucher disease resulted in visceral normalization without any neurological symptom. A third sister, affected by both conditions, had marked developmental delay, strabismus and ophthalmoplegia but no liver cirrhosis. In conclusion, intrafamilal variability occurs in MPV17-related disease. The combined pathological effect of Gaucher and mitochondrial diseases can negatively impact neurological and liver functions and influence the outcome in consanguineous families. The immunocytochemical staining of OXPHOS protein in tissues and cultured cells is a powerful tool revealing mosaic pattern of deficiency pointing to mtDNA-related mitochondrial disorders.Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports. 01/2014; 1:223–231.
Article: Co-existence of inflammatory hepatocellular adenomas with HNF1α inactivated adenomas: is there an association?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To report the co-existence of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) and HNF1 inactivated HCA (H-HCA) coming from a multicentric study. We report 9 cases with co-existence of inflammatory HCA and HNF1 inactivated HCA (H-HCA); 8 occurred in women and 1 in a man. The number of nodules and the sizes of the largest and smallest HCA were variable. In one case, the nodules of the 2 different subtypes were even discovered at different times. In all women, HCAs were histologically typical regardless of their subtype; while H-HCA in the man differed histologically from classical H-HCA. These cases suggest that predisposition to develop multiple adenomas, hypothetically caused by a "benign tumorigenic field effect" while common to all HCA, may result in different genotypes/phenotypes. Even rare, it is anticipated that more cases with co-existence of different genotypes will emerge due to progress in the use of specific immunohistochemistry. This article is protected by copyright.

Article: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour grading on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration: high reproducibility and inter-observer agreement of the Ki-67 labelling index[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives Assessment of proliferation by the Ki-67 labelling index (Ki67-LI) is an important parameter of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (pNET) prognosis on resection specimens. Ki67-LI values for grading are not fully established on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). The aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of Ki67-LI on EUS-FNA to predict a final grade of pNET and to analyse the relationship between cytological grading and progression-free survival (PFS). Methods Between 1996 and 2010, 46 pNETs (33 were resected) from 45 patients were diagnosed by EUS-FNA. Ki67-LI was evaluated on cytological and histological material for each tumour and classified according to the 2010 WHO grading system. ResultsA very good inter-observer agreement for Ki67-LI on EUS-FNA and surgical specimens, respectively, were obtained. Discrepancies were observed between histology and cytology, especially in grade 2 (G2) tumours, where cytology underestimated grading owing to tumour heterogeneity. Still, EUS-FNA was able to distinguish a poor prognostic group, as the actuarial PFS of cytological (c) G3 tumours was 10 ± 4 months versus 29 ± 7 and 68 ± 10 for cG2 and cG1 tumours, respectively (P < 0.0001). Conclusion This study attests the reproducibility of Ki67-LI of pNETs whether counted on cytology or histology with a very good inter-observer correlation. Determination of Ki67-LI on EUS-FNA of pNETs should be included systematically in their prognostic work-up.Cytopathology 11/2013; · 1.71 Impact Factor
Article: Combination of gemcitabine and cetuximab in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma: a phase II study of the Belgian Group of Digestive Oncology.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cholangiocarcinomas are uncommon tumours with a poor prognosis, that frequently present epidermal growth factor receptor overexpression. In a multi-centre phase II trial, patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma, naïve to chemotherapy, received Cetuximab (400 mg/m(2) at week 1, then 250 mg/m(2)/week) and Gemcitabine (1 g/m(2) on day 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks). Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months, using a Simon 2-stage design. Moreover, we assessed the impact of KRAS status and skin toxic effect on efficacy. Forty-four patients (41% locally advanced/59% metastatic) were enrolled. Median age was 61.5 years; ECOG PS was 0 (68%) or 1. Six months PFS reached 47%. Median OS was 13.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 9.8-31.8 months]. Nine patients (20.4%) had PR and disease-control rate was 79.5%. Grade 3/4-related toxic effects were haematological (52.2%), skin rash (13.6%) and fatigue (11.4%). KRAS mutations were found in 7 of 27 patients and had no influence on PFS. Skin toxic effect ≥grade 2 was associated with increased PFS (P = 0.05). Our study met its primary end point, suggesting that Gemcitabine-Cetuximab has activity in cholangiocarcinoma. KRAS status was not associated with PFS, unlike skin toxic effect, which could be used as a surrogate marker for efficacy.

Article: Need for objective and reproducible criteria in histopathological assessment of total mesorectal excision specimens: lessons from a national improvement project.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Data on quality control of the pathologic evaluation of total mesorectal excision specimens are scarce. We aimed to assess differences between evaluation by local pathologists participating in PROCARE, a Belgian improvement project on rectal cancer, and by a review panel of experts. Based on photographic material and histopathology slides, a review committee of gastrointestinal expert pathologists re-evaluated the mesorectal plane, the tumour differentiation grade, the (y)pT stage and the tumour regression grade in 444 cases previously routinely assessed by local pathologists. The surgical plane was reported in 89% and the circumferential resection margin in 88% of cases by the local pathologist. The median number of lymph nodes harvested in patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy was 11, and 14 in the other patients. The review committee downgraded the surgical plane in 17% from (intra)mesorectal to intramuscular, and upgraded it in 27% from intramuscular to (intra)mesorectal. Tumour differentiation grade, T stage and tumour regression grade differed between local pathologists and review committee in 15%, 10% and 38%, respectively. T stage was upgraded in 8% of cases, mainly from T2 to T3. Tumour regression was judged by the review panel to be less advanced in 15% of cases. Acknowledging some shortcomings, this study gives a realistic view of clinical practice. There are differences in interpretation with regard to both macroscopic and microscopic analysis of TME specimens. These findings indicate a need for more objective and reproducible criteria in histopathology. Being aware of this is a first step for improvement. This article is protected by copyright.

Article: Benign hepatocellular nodules: What have we learned using the patho-molecular classification.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) are benign hepatocellular tumors that develop most frequently in females and in non-cirrhotic livers. HCA are prone to bleed and to transform into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Four major subgroups of HCA have been thus far identified: HNF1α mutated HCA, inflammatory HCA (IHCA), β-catenin mutated HCA (b-HCA and b-IHCA), based on mutations in specific oncogenes and tumor suppressors. B-HCA and b-IHCA are strongly associated with HCC transformation. Benign hepatocellular tumors can be classified using immunohistochemistry (LFABP, CRP, GS, b-catenin). Analysis of HCA phenotypes has led to the identification of patients at risk of HCC transformation and therefore improved the indications provided by invasive and non-invasive diagnostic techniques, such as biopsies and MRI. These recent advances have broadened the clinical scope of HCA in various conditions, such as their presence in males, in obese patients, in patients suffering from liver vascular disorders, genetic diseases. However, specific immunohistochemistry has shown limitations particularly for the identification of b-HCA, thereby, outlining the importance of molecular studies to improve the diagnosis/prognosis of HCA. If evaluation of prognosis and treatment has benefited from these advances, much more needs to be done to obtain guidelines for good clinical practice.Gastroentérologie Clinique et Biologique 07/2013; · 0.80 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Background: Alcohol consumption is a major cause of liver disease. It also associates with increased cardiovascular risk and type 2 diabetes. Alcoholic liver diseases (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) share pathologic features, pathogenic mechanisms and pattern of disease progression. In NAFLD, steatosis, lipotoxicity and liver inflammation participate to hepatic insulin resistance. Our aim here is to verify the effect of alcohol on hepatic insulin sensitivity and to evaluate the role of alcohol-induced steatosis and inflammation on glucose homeostasis. Results : C57BL/6J mice were fed for 20 days a modified Lieber-DeCarli diet in which alcohol concentration was gradually increased up to 35% of daily caloric intake. Alcohol-fed mice show liver steatosis and inflammatory infiltration. OH-fed mice developed insulin resistance in the liver but not in muscles, as demonstrated by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp and analysis of the insulin signaling cascade. Treatment with the PPAR-α agonist Wy14,643 protected against OH-induced steatosis and Kupffer cell (KC) activation and almost abolished OH-induced insulin resistance. As KC activation may modulate insulin sensitivity, we repeated the clamp studies in mice depleted in KC to decipher the role of macrophages. Depletion of KC using liposomes-encapsuled clodronate in OH-fed mice failed both to improve hepatic steatosis and to restore insulin sensitivity as assessed by clamp. Conclusions : Our study shows that chronic alcohol consumption induces steatosis, Kuffer cell activation and hepatic insulin resistance in mice. PPAR-α agonist treatment that prevents steatosis and dampens hepatic inflammation also prevents alcohol-induced hepatic insulin resistance. However, Kupffer cell depletion little impacts on OH-induced metabolic disturbances.Clinical Science 06/2013; · 4.86 Impact Factor
Article: CHARACTERIZATION OF β CELL PLASTICITY MECHANISMS INDUCED IN MICE BY A TRANSIENT SOURCE OF EXOGENOUS INSULIN.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: β cell plasticity governs the adjustment of β cell mass and function to ensure normoglycemia. The study of how β cell mass is controlled and the identification of alternative sources of β cells are active fields of research. β cell plasticity has been implicated in numerous physiological and pathological conditions. We developed a mice model in which we induced major β cell mass atrophy by implanting insulin pellets (IPI) for 7 or 10 days. The implants were then removed (IPR) to observe the timing and characteristics of β cell regeneration in parallel to changes in glycemia. Following IPR, the endocrine mass was reduced by 60% at day 7 and by 75% at day 10, and transient hyperglycemia was observed, which resolved within 1 week. Five days after IPR, enhanced β cell proliferation and an increased frequency of small islets were observed in 7-day IPI mice. β cell mass was fully restored after an additional 2 days. For the 10-day IPI group, β cell and endocrine mass were no longer significantly different from those of the control group at 2 weeks post-IPR. Furthermore, RT qPCR analysis of endocrine structures isolated by laser capture microdissection (LCM) indicated sequentially enhanced expression of the pancreatic transcription factors Beta2/NeuroD and Pdx-1 post-IPR. Thus, our data suggest this mouse model of β cell plasticity not only relies on replication but also involves enhanced cell differentiation plasticity.AJP Endocrinology and Metabolism 02/2013; · 4.51 Impact Factor

A detailed review by a BIMMERPOST member of his M235i test drive.
First impression:
When you first see the car it depends on which angle you see it from from the front 3/4 is nice. If you look at it from a dead profile it looks a little strange. As if somebody chopped off the back and the front. When I get a chance to post the pictures I think you'll see what I mean. But from an angle, the car looks quite nice. … CONTINUED

News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
The Arizona Cardinals got some good news this morning, as defensive lineman Calais Campbell avoided a serious injury in last night's loss at San Francisco.
Campbell had to be taken off the field on a stretcher last night, though he was able to give a thumbs up on his way to a local hospital.
This morning, the Cardinals announced that Campbell had left the Bay Area hospital, and had returned home to Arizona.

15 Celebrities Who May Have Killed People (Allegedly. Purportedly.)by Tattle Taylor at . Updated at . Comments
I say "celebrities who may have killed people" you say...?
The fact that we can't fill in that blank with just ONE name is pretty amazing. Amazingly terrible. As terrible as the sentences some celebrities serve when they're found guilty of killing people.
And yes, it's happened more than once.
Some of these celebrities who killed people - maybe killed people - were never convicted at all. And others pleaded out and served less time than Paris Hilton.
Check out this list of 15 celebrities who may have killed people. Allegedly.
very nice pice gud pice
God Bless America😜
Look! They put Laura Bush first. Coincidence? I think not! Hey...where's Hillary what with Whitewater, Benghazi, etc.?

The State Department on Tuesday denied having played an inside role in the appointment of Egypt's new defense minister, a former military intelligence chief who has long-standing ties to the U.S.
"It's not our job to pick the leaders of a foreign government," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, acknowledging that Lt. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi is someone "we do know well, who we've worked with in the past and who has had training in the United States."
In addition to having met with top Obama administration officials, Lt. Gen. el-Sissi participated in a basic training course at Fort Benning, Ga., during the early 1980s.
Mrs. Nuland refused to characterize his appointment as a positive sign from the administration of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, which now holds power in Cairo.
"I'm not planning to characterize it one way or another," she said. "We look forward and hope and expect that we will have good working relations. That is what we would like to have."
Mr. Morsi appointed Gen. el-Sissi over the weekend after ordering the retirement of Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, a powerful remnant from the government of ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak.
Despite intense public outcry calling for the military to allow civilian leaders to take control in Cairo, Field Marshal Tantawi had remained in charge of the Egyptian military since Mubarak was overthrown in popular uprising.
Crowds of Egyptians gathered again in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday to celebrate the firing of Field Marshal Tantawi by Mr. Morsi, who also announced the retirement of several other senior military officers as well as the canceling of several constitutional amendments they had issued in an attempt to restrict civilian presidential powers.
It remains to be seen how the changes will affect the military's posture toward the public and neighboring countries.
The dismissal of the top officers came just days after the Egyptian army declared a tentative victory against Islamic militants operating in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, which borders Israel and the Gaza Strip.
The militants were accused of killing 16 Egyptian soldiers during an ambush of anoutpost near the Israeli border. In an unprecedented offensive last week, Egyptian fighter jets pounded militant positions in the area.
On Monday, Mrs. Nuland told reporters at the State Department that there are "security issues in Sinai that have to be dealt with."
"As the Egyptians work to gain control of Sinai, the way they do it obviously has an impact on their neighbors, has an impact on the region, has an impact on their existing security and treaty relationships, and we want to see all of those things go smoothly in the coming period for Egypt, but also for the region and for the neighbors," she said.

Jonathan Coachman
Real Name
Jonathan Coachman
Date of Birth
August 12, 1972
Place of Birth
While he is no longer stuck in a hospital bed, Jake Roberts is said to still be in pretty rough shape. Doctors are still checking up on his lungs and his brain. Roberts revealed that his lungs are clearing up from pneumonia, but doctors want to be absolutely certain. As far as his brain is concerned, the WWE legend said that his physician is still concerned about possible bleeding.
October 7, 2014
Earlier this month, professional wrestling fans were given quite the scare when Jake Roberts passed out on a plane ride and had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. While he has recovered tremendously from that ordeal, the WWE legend has informed fans that there are still some minor issues with his brains that doctors are tending to.
September 26, 2014
Professional wrestling came close to losing another beloved performer this week. While working at an independent wrestling show outside of Omaha, Nebraska, Bobby Eaton started having seizure like effects. It got bad enough to where he was rushed to the hospital. Doctors believe that he suffered a heart attack, and his defibulator and pacemaker prevented him from dying.
September 22, 2014
When word spread that Roman Reigns was rushed to the hospital, WWE made it clear that he was going to miss Night of Champions 2014, where he was scheduled for a big match against Seth Rollins. Reports have now surfaced that Reigns might be missing Hell in a Cell 2014 as well, as medical examiners believe that the type of hernia that he is suffering from is quite severe.
September 20, 2014
Some good news if you're a fan of Ric Flair. He has now been released from a hospital in Georgia after spending ten days there for emergency surgeries. The former world heavyweight champion had an appendicitis attack and a hernia. He is expected to take some time off the road to recover from his wounds, but he should be back on WWE television before the end of the year.
September 20, 2014
Some really awful news for WWE this weekend, as Roman Reigns had to be rushed to the hospital. The rising star is undergoing surgery for an incarcerated hernia. Reigns will be forced to miss his Night of Champions 2014 match against Seth Rollins. Since the match was a featured one, the pay per view has suffered a bit of a blow. No word yet on what WWE intends to do with that slot.
September 20, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Ric Flair had to be pulled from the WWE NXT show. The exact reason has now been discovered. The former world heavyweight champion was in the hospital this week for some minor surgeries. No word yet on what those procedures were for, but none of it was life threatening. Flair is expected to be back with WWE after he recovers.
September 15, 2014
In addition to making an appearance at an independent wrestling show produced by Kizarny, Jake Roberts also spent the time to help train some of the wrestlers at the event. The WWE legend even got physically involved in the training, so that's great news for those of us who were quite concerned when he was in the hospital for a week.
September 11, 2014
Good news for Jake Roberts. The WWE legend has recovered well enough that the hospital allowed him to be released on Saturday. Having been laid up in a hospital bed for approximately a week, Roberts was not interested in being still. He attended an independent wrestling event ran by Kizarny, whom he will stay with in Las Vegas for a couple of days before heading back to Atlanta, and greeted the audience.
September 7, 2014
Looks like Jake Roberts is doing a whole lot better now. Kizarny revealed to fans that the WWE legend will be moved out of the intensive care unit very soon. Roberts will remain in the hospital for a couple of days after that, however, so that doctors can keep him under examination. Once he is healthy enough to leave the hospital, Roberts will be staying with Kizarny in Las Vegas to recuperate some more before traveling back to Atlanta.
September 5, 2014
In a sign of just how popular and mainstream Jake Roberts was during the 1980s, several media outlets provided coverage of the WWE legend being sent to the hospital this week. TMZ does a good job of covering wrestling, so they were on the ball with the Roberts story. Huffington Post and USA Today, which does not feature much about the industry, even covered the story.
August 29, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Kizarny, where the former WWE star provides us with an update on Jake Roberts, who passed out on an airplane and has been unconscious at a Las Vegas hospital since then.
August 28, 2014
Some very bad news for Jake Roberts right now. The WWE legend was flying to Las Vegas for an event, but he passed out while on the plane. Roberts was immediately taken to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Reports are saying that he has yet to regain consciousness. Some are saying that Roberts has double pneumonia. His lungs are said to be filled with fluid, and there may be something wrong with his brain as well.
August 28, 2014
When word broke that Ryback was injured, there were some reports of skepticism from WWE officials that there really was no injury. However, the legitimacy of his health has been proven, as Ryback has posted a video of himself in the hospital. He clearly did go under the knife. It is being said that Ryback has worked with strained groins and hernias for the last year.
August 28, 2014
While working a tag team match with Eddie Edwards at a TNA live event in Pennsylvania, Davey Richards suffered a serious leg injury. Upon being rushed to the hospital, it was discovered that he has a broken fibula. Richards is expected to be out of action for approximately 6 weeks, which means that TNA will need to figure out what they want to do with the tag team titles.
August 16, 2014
Things did not go exactly as planned for Ethan Carter on Impact Wrestling last night. The TNA star was busted open by an errant shot from a trash can. Carter was taken to a New York City hospital, so that doctors could give him a dozen staples to close the wound. The belief is that he will not be missing any of the upcoming episodes, but he might just be used in segments instead.
June 27, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Jim Ross had to spend a night in the hospital, as the former WWE commentator had a bit of a health scare and his wife wanted to be safer than sorry. Ross revealed that a couple of people contacted him at the hospital to check up on him. Jerry Lawler and Steve Austin were two of them. The other was Vince McMahon, which was a little bit surprising as there have been rumors floating around for the last year that there is some backstage heat between the two.
June 10, 2014
While it sounds like just a precautionary thing, Jim Ross spent the night in the hospital recently. He complained to his wife that he was not feeling well, so she made the former WWE commentator visit with doctors. Ross stated that his unnamed symptoms took place shortly after he returned from a trip to Las Vegas.
June 7, 2014
There are a lot of rumors floating around right now about Scott Hall, with many believing that he has fallen off the wagon again after some vague comments from Jake Roberts and Diamond Dallas Page. We do know that Hall was in the hospital this week. While many are speculating that it has something to do with drugs or alcohol, the former Intercontinental Champion is stating that he was only there for a heart checkup.
May 24, 2014
Some good news coming out of WWE today, as it is being reported that Daniel Bryan underwent successful surgery to repair his neck injury. The procedure, which took place in Pittsburgh, went well enough to where doctors are stating that he could be released from the hospital within two days. As of right now, the guess is that he will need approximately three months of recovery time before returning to WWE.
May 15, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, Renee Young has been moving up the ladder quite a bit in WWE. The belief is that the company is trying to appease her after finding out that ESPN was interested in bringing the beautiful blonde over to their network. The company had already lost Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham to the sports network. They don't want to lose Young as well. There are those backstage that even believe that Vince McMahon could allow her to become a commentator on Smackdown or Monday Night Raw, in order to keep her from bolting.
July 10, 2014
During the NBA Draft last night, an analyst from ESPN took a jab at WWE. He stated a drafted player needed "to get the WWE out of him". The analyst clarified the statement by saying that the player needed more maturity before he can become a star. While it may be unrelated, Jonathan Coachman, who now works for ESPN, recently revealed that his negotiations with WWE went downhill and the deal is now completely off the table.
June 27, 2014
Earlier in the year, rumors sparked that Jonathan Coachman was going to be returning to WWE to work on some projects with the company. The ESPN broadcaster confirmed those rumors by teasing it on Twitter. Well, it looks like the deal is off. Coachman insinuated that WWE did not want him enough. Since Vince McMahon has been trying to cut cost, the belief is that the company simply could not afford to bring him back.
June 26, 2014
An interesting thing took place on SportsCenter last night. Two former WWE performers were the host. Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham, who have grown to become best of friends, were the anchors. It was the first time in two years that these two have done hosting duties together on ESPN. There are still rumors that Coachman is working on something with WWE in the near future.
May 28, 2014
If things go as expected, then Renee Young is expected to follow in the footsteps of Todd Grisham and Jonathan Coachman, two former WWE on screen personalities who ended up with ESPN. The sports network has heavy interest in Renee right now, as executives there have been impressed with how well she has performed for WWE.
April 18, 2014
It appears that WWE will soon be receiving more coverage on ESPN, as some sort of deal is being finalized between the two sides. Jonathan Coachman, who dropped hints earlier about the deal, will be heavily involved, as he has worked for both companies. Wrestlemania 30 and Summerslam 2014 will be receiving a good amount of coverage.
April 5, 2014
While there are not a lot of details available at the moment, Jonathan Coachman, who is now working as an ESPN anchor after years in the professional wrestling industry, has teased an upcoming announcement that involves WWE through his Twitter account. Interestingly enough, the official WWE.com website did a feature on him this week.
March 26, 2014
While there were some people within the network that were pushing to make the move happen, ESPN is not interested in bringing WWE programming to their channels. The belief is that Jonathan Coachman would have had some sort of involvement had they decided to get into the bidding wars to bring Vince McMahon and his product on board.
March 6, 2014
While he has moved on with his life and secured his dream job with ESPN, Jonathan Coachman still looks into professional wrestling once in a while. In this Twitter post, he mentioned Betty White being in WWE and how he feels about that.
February 15, 2014
