I love this lip balm a lot. I'm new to the bandwagon, and I must say this is my first eos balm, but I like it a lot. It tastes good but not overwhelming, it feels silky smooth on the lips and minty. This is my favorite lip balm i own. The packaging is cute but bulky at the same time but I don't care. I like this flavor and I'm really happy I gave this a try.

i think one word can sum this product up.... "MEH."
This lip balm has too much hype for no reason, all becasue of the cute packaging? Please, give me something useful. It does no better job to moisturize my lips than most other mediocre lip balms, or even Vaseline for that matter.
If you have severly chapped lips, or want something to really keep your lips hydrated, I use Jack Black Mint from Sephora and I love it. Give that a try instead.

A good, basic lip balm. I don't have chapped, cracked lips, I just use this for basic moisturization and it works well. I think if my lips were bad, I'd use Waxelene or something else that's thicker and more occlusive.
The only cons are the packaging, which while novel is inconvenient, and the flavoring. I don't like flavoring in products that aren't food.
I haven't had any reactions to this balm.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
UPDATE 08 Nov. 2014:
I later found out that what I had on my lips is called chelatis - if you dare google-ing it, you can read about how horrible it feels and looks - it feels like you have kissed a hot iron, and looks/feels like your lips are dry, because they begin to peel. Apparently, I'm not the only person experiencing this either with this balm. Since that time, I have had to be even more careful with lip products - almost anything sets it off. Why did I get this? Weeeell... because of this lip balm! You can read an abstract from a scientific article about peppermint oils in lip balms here, but they also mention coconut oil and propolis (a beeswax-related product, that is the first ingredient in this balm, but beeswax is totally OK for me):
Also: HOW do I know that it's the peppermint oil in this that made me allergic? Because I now also get rashes around my mouth from tooth paste with peppermint! Great, right? There are NO other products that I own that contain peppermint oil. I suggest tossing this before you too get problems, ESPECIALLY if you have sensitive skin, like me, because your lips are then more likely to be sensitive too.
UPDATE: 13 Des. 2012: lowering to 1 lippie: did definitely not moisturize enough and I actually got allergic to this over time. Yes, I'm sure that it's THIS - I tried it out 3 times and the allergy appeared within about 15 minutes (and lasts about a week to go away).
UPDATE 27. Nov. 2012:
I don't think I will repurchase this. It doesn't moisturize my lips very will and doesn't protect them at all. I could use only in the summer, I guess. It also seems this dries my lips out a little over time, and I'm still not a fan of the very hard consistency.
I bought this because, in a magazine, they gave this 6/6 stars, while my absolute favourite lip balm only got 4/6. I thought: the one I'm using is so amazing, that this can't possibly beat it?! The main thing they said that I couldn't understand is that this was more moisturizing than my Cliniderm lip balm, which I will now refer to as C. Understand me right: I used to get THE WORST dry lips in the winter.¨They were so bad that pieces of my skin hung down, they cracked everywhere, were dry, bleeding and NOTHING could fix it before I got my C. balm, which fixed my lips in 2-4 days (at max) by applying each time after it had worn off. How could ANYTHING be better than this medical balm? And the magazine said EOS was BETTER at curing chapped lips and C. wasn't moisturizing enough... well, this needed to be tested out!
So, I bought this. I already had a painful dry spot on my lips. The first thing I noticed is that: if you already have dry chapped lips, this won't be very comfortable to apply because it's so solid. The second thing: this made my lips a tiny bit paler and less shiny. The minty smell is nice - better than the slightly medical vanilla smell of my C. It moisturized... not that well. The minty taste was nice in that it wasn't making me lick it from my lips.
My verdict is: this is an OK balm, but there are better things out there if you have REALLY dry lips. it feels like it sits a bit on top of the lips and doesn't really sink in that well. It's so frigging annoying seeing sponsored reviews in magazines that makes the really good products seem less attractive!
This is boyfriend friendly in that it has a nice smell and taste and isn't sticky at all. The packaging looks cute, but isn't very practical at all unless you have big pockets or carry your balm around in for example your purse. This doesn't leave you with that nasty white stripe on your lips. It's eco-friendly, they say. You can buy it if you want.

I really enjoy this lip balm!
it has a sweet minty scent and leaves a nice cooling feel on the lips.
this is a perfect winter lip balm!
If you're new to EOS lip balms, please note that at first the lip balm
may be waxy and not to moisturising, however, as you pas the first
layer of the balm, you will start feeling lots more moisture. Trust me!
i absolutely love the packaging!
Love this lip balm, TOTALLY recommend! :)

I'll stick to the nivea that I usually purchase.

I have a database table called
tbl_event with the non-clustered indexes
IDX_Event_Folder and
IDX_Event_Time defined as:
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IDX_Event_Folder]
ON [dbo].[tbl_event]([nobjectid] ASC)
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IDX_Event_Time]
ON [dbo].[tbl_event]([tetime] ASC)
I ran the following simple queries and got the execution plans displayed directly underneath:
Query 1:
FROM tbl_event
WHERE tbl_event.nobjectid = 1410000
ORDER BY tetime
Query 2:
FROM tbl_event
WHERE tbl_event.nobjectid = 1410000
My question is, why is the index on nobjectid never utilized? I would expect there to be an index seek or scan when nobjectid is specified in the where clause of these select statements. Is my understanding of this analysis incorrect?

Ben Stein isn't making friends with cuss-tomers at Hayden Walmart. In a recent column for the conservative American Spectator, Stein tells of stopping at the Hayden store en route from the Spokane airport to his Sandpoint getaway. He described the cuss-tomers as "terrifying" – and "not at all like the friendly folk at the Walmart near Sandpoint." Also: "These were enormous sallow men and women, grotesquely obese teenagers, horribly tattooed women in sun dresses at 10 p.m. These were the Jukes and the Kallikaks. Their RV's were parked in the Walmart parking lot. Terrifying, especially in Walmart's ultra-bright jail line-up lights." One of my Huckleberries blog readers who goes by the blog pseudonym Frum Helen Back responded in jest that she thought Stein was describing her. Then, she realized she's in bed by 10 p.m. Adds Frum Helen Back: "One thing I learned from this article is that I don't like him and hope I never do run into him anywhere." Especially at Hayden Walmart/DFO, Sunday Huckleberries. More here.

Nashua's school ban on game of tag brings lots of calls, advice
"Almost all of the calls have been from the media or concerned citizens," said Superintendent Mark Conrad, who added he knew of no calls from parents with children at Charlotte Avenue Elementary.
That may be because the ban on tag at Charlotte Elementary is nothing new. Many parents were probably already aware that a decision to keep the game off the playground was made several years ago, he said.
Conrad said the school's recess rules became a "media event" after Principal Patricia Beaulieu posted a letter on the school's website reminding parents that tag was not allowed on the playground. Beaulieu's letter was written in the wake of eight playground injuries, including broken bones and concussions, since the opening of school, according to the superintendent.
Earlier this year, Windham made headlines when school officials cut dodge ball and nine other "human target" games from the district's gym classes. Administrators feared the games encouraged bullying. But after a special committee reviewed the games, the Windham School Board voted last June to reinstate them, only with new names. In Windham, kids still play dodge ball, prison ball and slaughter, only now they call those games "cage ball," "repair shop" and "numero uno."
"If I was a parent and my child got hurt, I would be very unhappy," said Board of Education member Steven Haas.
Haas and Conrad both said they understood that a ban on tag strikes a nerve with adults who grew up with the game and lived to tell the tale.

New iMac ship times improve to 1-3 days
For those waiting to get one of Apple's new iMacs, we've got some good news. Over the weekend, ship times for both the standard 21.5-inch and 27-inch models improved to one to three business days in both the Canadian and US Apple online stores. That's a far cry from the two- to three-week ship times both models have held since their launch late last year.
The improved ship time only applies to standard models however. If a buyer custom configures an iMac, its ship times increase to anywhere from seven to 10 business days all the way up to two to three weeks.

Future of Nursing Initiative
FRIDAY, March 27 (HealthDay News) -- A U.S.-Canadian trial to assess in-ambulance administration of a hypertonic saline solution to trauma patients in shock from severe bleeding has been halted due to lack of a survival benefit, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) announced on March 26.
The Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Data and Safety Monitoring Board, an independent group monitoring the study, analyzed in-hospital data on 545 hypertonic saline patients in the largest enrolling hospital from each site.
The researchers' report confirmed 2008 findings that early mortality was more common among hypertonic saline patients than in normal saline patients and that there was no significant group difference in cumulative 28-day mortality. Although the report did not fully explain the mortality findings, the investigators are planning to publish a more comprehensive analysis in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
"Survival from traumatic injury is a critical public health issue and the large clinical trials under way in this effort are needed to improve the treatment of patients," Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D., director of the NHLBI, said in a statement. "Of course, it is always disappointing when new therapies, such as concentrated saline for shock, fail to offer added benefit to patients. However, we look forward to results from the other ongoing studies that are part of this important research consortium."

Conference Paper: MITRAL REGURGITATION CHANGES AFTER LVAD IMPLANTATION: A NUMERICAL STUDY[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim: Although the left ventricular (LV) unloading due to LVAD, in some patients (PTs) with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and severe LV and left atrium dilation, a suboptimal results of LVAD implantation, characterized by persistent relevant MR, elevated left atrial and pulmonary pressure and low cardiac output was observed. The aim of this work is the use of the numerical simulator of the cardiovascular system (NM) to simulate PTs candidate to LVAD implantation with severe MR to assess if NM can predict in advance which PTs will be responder to LVAD therapy and which PTs need a mitral valvuloplasty (MV). Methods: Baseline and acute data after LVAD implantation of 5 PTs with severe MR were collected. PTs baseline were reproduced by the NM and then the effect of LVAD implantation was simulated with and without MV. Simulations results were compared to acute measured data. Results: Comparing measured and simulated data, it can be deduced that the NM can well reproduce PTs baseline and predict the haemodynamic effects of LVAD implantation in all 5 PTs. Moreover the model was able to identify the PTs in which the LVAD implantation did not improve haemodynamic significantly due to severe MR and persistent high LV volumes. Finally the NM can predict the effect of LVAD implantation and MV performed in one of the 5 PTs. Conclusions: NM could be useful to support clinicians in LVAD PTs selection and to optimize and personalize LVAD therapy.XLI ESAO Annual Congress, Rome Italy; 09/2014
Article: A Decision Support System for the Treatment of Patients with Ventricular Assist Device Support.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Heart failure (HF) is affecting millions of people every year and it is characterized by impaired ventricular performance, exercise intolerance and shortened life expectancy. Despite significant advancements in drug therapy, mortality of the disease remains excessively high, as heart transplant remains the gold standard treatment for end-stage HF when no contraindications subsist. Traditionally, implanted Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) have been employed in order to provide circulatory support to patients who cannot survive the waiting time to transplantation, reducing the workload imposed on the heart. In many cases that process could recover its contractility performance. Objectives: The SensorART platform focuses on the management and remote treatment of patients suffering from HF. It provides an interoperable, extendable and VAD-independent solution, which incorporates various hardware and software components in a holistic approach, in order to improve the quality of the patients' treatment and the workflow of the specialists. This paper focuses on the description and analysis of Specialist's Decision Support System (SDSS), an innovative component of the SensorART platform. Methods: The SDSS is a Web-based tool that assists specialists on designing the therapy plan for their patients before and after VAD implantation, analyzing patients' data, extracting new knowledge, and making informative decisions. Results: SDSS offers support to medical and VAD experts through the different phases of VAD therapy, incorporating several tools covering all related fields; Statistics, Association Rules, Monitoring, Treatment, Weaning, Speed and Suction Detection. Conclusions: SDSS and its modules have been tested in a number of patients and the results are encouraging.Methods of Information in Medicine 02/2014; 53(2). · 1.08 Impact Factor
Article: Relationship between Pre-Implant Interleukin-6 Levels, Inflammatory Response, and Early Outcome in Patients Supported by Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Prospective Study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The immune response is crucial in the development of multi-organ failure (MOF) and complications in end-stage heart failure patients supported by left ventricular assist device (LVAD). However, at pre-implant, the association between inflammatory state and post-LVAD outcome is not yet clarified. Aim of the study was to assess the relationship among pre-implant levels of immune-related cytokines, postoperative inflammatory response and 3-month outcome in LVAD-patients. In 41 patients undergoing LVAD implantation, plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, crucial for monocyte modulation, and urine neopterin/creatinine ratio (Neo/Cr), marker of monocyte activation, were assessed preoperatively, at 3 days, 1 and 4 weeks post-LVAD. MOF was evaluated by total sequential organ failure assessment (tSOFA) score. Intensive care unit (ICU)-death and/or post-LVAD tSOFA ≥11 was considered as main adverse outcome. Length of ICU-stay, 1 week-tSOFA score, hospitalisation and 3-month survival were considered additional end-points. During ICU-stay, 8 patients died of MOF, while 8 of the survivors experienced severe MOF with postoperative tSOFA score ≥11. Pre-implant level of IL-6 ≥ 8.3 pg/mL was identified as significant marker of discrimination between patients with or without adverse outcome (OR 6.642, 95% CI 1.201-36.509, p = 0.030). Patients were divided according to pre-implant IL-6 cutoff of 8.3 pg/ml in A [3.5 (1.2-6.1) pg/mL] and B [24.6 (16.4-38.0) pg/mL] groups. Among pre-implant variables, only white blood cells count was independently associated with pre-implant IL-6 levels higher than 8.3 pg/ml (OR 1.491, 95% CI 1.004-2.217, p = 0.048). The ICU-stay and hospitalisation resulted longer in B-group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.030, respectively). Postoperatively, 1 week-tSOFA score, IL-8 and Neo/Cr levels were higher in B-group. LVAD-candidates with elevated pre-implant levels of IL-6 are associated, after intervention, to higher release of monocyte activation related-markers, a clue for the development of MOF, longer clinical course and poor outcome.PLoS ONE 01/2014; 9(3):e90802. · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Cardiac molecular markers of programmed cell death are activated in end-stage heart failure patients supported by left ventricular assist device[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Cardiomyocyte apoptosis increases in heart failure (HF) and is implicated in disease progression. The apoptotic cell is not inevitably committed to death and appropriate therapy like Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) support could offer a rescue of cellular functions. Literature data regarding the modulation of the apoptotic process during LVAD support are still controversial. Methods To assess whether LVAD implantation modifies the apoptotic profile in the heart, cardiac tissue was collected from end-stage HF patients before LVAD implant (pre-LVAD, n = 22), at LVAD removal (post-LVAD, n = 6), and from stable HF patients on medical therapy without prior circulatory support (HTx, n = 7) at heart transplantation, as control. Caspase (Casp)-3, Bax, Bcl-2, and Hsp72 cardiac mRNA and protein expression was evaluated by real-time PCR and WB in the three groups of patients. Immunohistochemical analysis, TUNEL assay, and DNA laddering analysis were performed; cellular size and interstitial fibrosis content were also determined. Results All the apoptotic indices were increased in post-LVAD group compared to pre-LVAD, specially anti-apoptotic Hsp72 and pro-apoptotic Bax, (Hsp72: 3.27 ± 0.41 vs 0.76 ± 0.14, p < 0.001; Bax: 2.15 ± 0.38 vs 1.10 ± 0.29, p = 0.035; post-LVAD vs pre-LVAD, respectively). The significant increase in Hsp72 was confirmed by WB and immunohistochemical analysis. Conclusion LVAD appears to induce an activation of apoptotic mediators, mainly at the mitochondrial level, while the following activation of Casp-3 is reduced by the significant increase of Hsp72, whose enhancement could be an important factor in cardiac remodeling associated with LVAD support.Cardiovascular Pathology. 01/2014;

ABSTRACT: Background Caspase (Casp)-1 has been indicated as a molecular target capable of preventing the progression of cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure (HF), due to its central role in promoting inflammation and cardiomyocyte loss. Aim of this study was to assess whether Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation modifies the inflammatory and apoptotic profile in the heart through the modulation of Casp-1 expression level. Methods Cardiac tissue was collected from end-stage HF patients before LVAD implant (pre-LVAD group, n = 22), at LVAD removal (post-LVAD, n = 6), and from stable HF patients on medical therapy without prior circulatory support (HTx, n = 7) at heart transplantation, as control. The cardiac expression of Casp-1, of its inhibitors caspase recruitment domain (CARD) only protein (COP) and CARD family, member 18 (ICEBERG) , was evaluated by real-time PCR in the three groups of patients. Results Casp-1 was increased in the pre-LVAD group compared to HTx (p = 0.006), while on the contrary the ICEBERG level was significantly decreased in pre-LVAD with respect to HTx patients (p < 0.001); no difference in COP expression level was found. Conclusions This study describes a specific pattern of the Casp-1 system associated with inflammation and apoptosis markers in patients who require LVAD insertion. The inflammation could be the key process regulating, in a negative loop, Casp-1 signaling and its down-stream effects, apoptosis included.Cardiovascular Pathology. 01/2014;
Article: Relationship between Early Inflammatory Response and Clinical Evolution of the Severe Multiorgan Failure in Mechanical Circulatory Support-Treated Patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. The mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is an effective treatment in critically ill patients with end-stage heart failure (ESHF) that, however, may cause a severe multiorgan failure syndrome (MOFS) in these subjects. The impact of altered inflammatory response, associated to MOFS, on clinical evolution of MCS postimplantation patients has not been yet clarified. Methods. Circulating cytokines, adhesion molecules, and a marker of monocyte activation (neopterin) were determined in 53 MCS-treated patients, at preimplant and until 2 weeks. MOFS was evaluated by total sequential organ failure assessment score (tSOFA). Results. During MCS treatment, 32 patients experienced moderate MOFS (tSOFA < 11; A group), while 21 patients experienced severe MOFS (tSOFA ≥ 11) with favorable (B group) or adverse (n = 13, C group) outcomes. At preimplant, higher values of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were the only parameter independently associated with A group. In C group, during the first postoperative week, high levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and an increase of neopterin and adhesion molecules, precede tSOFA worsening and exitus. Conclusions. The MCS patients of C group show an excessive release to IL-8 and TNF-α, and monocyte-endothelial activation after surgery, that might contribute to the unfavourable evolution of severe MOFS.Mediators of Inflammation 01/2014; 2014:281790. · 3.88 Impact Factor
Article: C-type natriuretic peptide transcriptomic profiling increases in human leukocytes of patients with chronic heart failure as a function of clinical severity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the transcriptomic profiling of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and of its specific receptor, NPR-B in human leukocytes of heart failure (HF) patients as a function of clinical severity, assessing the possible changes with respect to healthy subjects (C). mRNA expression was evaluated by Real-time PCR and total RNA was extracted from leukocytes of C (n=8) and of HF patients (NYHA I-II n=7; NYHA III-IV n=13) with PAXgene Blood RNA Kit. Significantly higher levels of CNP mRNA expression were found in HF patients as a function of clinical severity (C=0.23±0.058, NYHA I-II=0.47±0.18, NYHA III-IV=2.58±0.71, p=0.005C vs NYHA III-IV, p=0.017 NYHA I-II vs NYHA III-IV) and NPR-B transcript levels resulted down-regulated in HF patients with higher NYHA class (C=2.2±0.61, NYHA I-II=2.76±0.46, NYHA III-IV=0.29±0.13, p=0.001C vs NYHA III-IV, p<0.0001 NYHA I-II vs NYHA III-IV). A significant negative correlation between CNP and NPR-B mRNA expression (r=0.5, p=0.03) was also observed. These results suggest a co-regulation of NPR-B and CNP expression supporting the relevance of this receptor in human disease characterized by a marked inflammatory/immune component and suggesting the possibility of manipulating inflammation via pharmacological agents selective for this receptor.Peptides 07/2013; · 2.52 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This work presents the Treatment Tool, which is a component of the Specialist's Decision Support Framework (SDSS) of the SensorART platform. The SensorART platform focuses on the management of heart failure (HF) patients, which are treated with implantable, left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). SDSS supports the specialists on various decisions regarding patients with LVADs including decisions on the best treatment strategy, suggestion of the most appropriate candidates for LVAD weaning, configuration of the pump speed settings, while also provides data analysis tools for new knowledge extraction. The Treatment Tool is a web-based component and its functionality includes the calculation of several acknowledged risk scores along with the adverse events appearance prediction for treatment assessment.Conference proceedings: ...

Article: High peripheral levels of h-FABP are associated with poor prognosis in end-stage heart failure patients with mechanical circulatory support.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim: To associate the time-course of h-FABP and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation to outcome in end-stage heart failure patients. Materials & methods: Patients (n = 14, NYHA class III/IV; left ventricular ejection fraction <25% were enrolled; ten survived up to 1 month after LVAD (survivors) and four died of multiorgan failure within 2 weeks (nonsurvivors). Blood samples were obtained at admission; at 4, 24 and 72 h; and at 1 and 4 weeks after LVAD. Results: h-FABP significantly increases after surgery, decreasing since 72 h in all patients. At 72 h all survivor patients present h-FABP lower than the median value. N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide is not associated with patient outcome at any time. Conclusion: High h-FABP levels, indicating the presence of more severe myocardial damage, are associated with a poor prognosis in patients with LVAD, suggesting that an early cardiac injury marker could improve the prediction of clinical outcome.Biomarkers in Medicine 06/2013; 7(3):481-92. · 3.22 Impact Factor

Article: [Proposal for updated listing criteria for heart transplantation and indications to implant of left ventricular assist devices].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Heart transplantation (HTx) is considered to be the gold standard treatment for advanced heart failure (HF) but it is available only for a minority of patients, due to paucity of donor hearts (278 HTx were performed in 2011 in Italy). Patients listed for HTx have a prolonged waiting time (that is about 2.3 years in the 2006-2010 time period in Italy) that is superior compared with patients who receive HTx (median time around 6 months), to underline the presence of an allocation system that prioritizes candidates in critical conditions. Patients listed for HTx have a poor quality of life and their annual mortality is around 8-10%. Another 10-15% of HTx candidates are removed from the waiting list each year because they are no longer suitable for transplantation. On the other hand, continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been demonstrated to improve survival and quality of life of patients with advanced/refractory HF. LVAD therapy can represent a valid alternative to HTx, and it is recommended for patients with advanced HF in the recent edition of the European Society of Cardiology guidelines on HF management. In the United States, a larger number of centers compared with European ones started to apply a strategy of LVAD implant for many patients who meet clinical criteria for listing for HTx. Data from our center concerning the last 6 years of LVAD implant (51 implants since 2006) reported a 75.5% survival rate at 1 year. In Italian series, as in our center, current HTx survival is only slightly superior (83% survival rate at 1 year), based on data from the Italian National Transplant Center. We report a proposal for updated listing criteria for HTx and indications for LVAD implant in patients with advanced acute and chronic HF. Criteria for identifying suitable patients for HTx and/or LVAD considering the shortage of donors are discussed.Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006) 02/2013; 14(2):110-9.
Article: Transcriptomic profiling of the four adenosine receptors in human leukocytes of heart failure patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study the transcriptomic profiling of adenosine receptors (ARs) in human leukocytes of heart failure (HF) patients as a function of clinical severity, assessing the possible changes with respect to healthy subjects (C), was evaluated. Total RNA was extracted from leukocytes of C (n = 8) and of HF patients (NYHA I-II n = 9; NYHA III-IV n = 14) with a PAXgene Blood RNA Kit. An increase as a function of clinical severity was observed in each AR (A1R: C = 0.02 ± 0.009, NYHA I-II = 0.21 ± 0.09, NYHA III-IV = 3.6 ± 1.3, P = 0.03 C versus NYHA III-IV, P = 0.02 NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV; A2aR: C = 0.2 ± 0.05, NYHA I-II = 0.19 ± 0.04, NYHA III-IV = 1.32 ± 0.33, P = 0.005 C versus NYHA III-IV, P = 0.003 NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV; A2bR: C = 1.78 ± 0.36, NYHA I-II = 1.35 ± 0.29, NYHA III-IV = 4.07 ± 1.21, P = 0.03: NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV; A3R: C = 0.76 ± 0.21, NYHA I-II = 0.94 ± 0.19, NYHA III-IV = 3.14 ± 0.77, P = 0.01 C versus NYHA III-IV and NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV, resp.). The mRNA expression of the ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (CD39) and the ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) were also evaluated. They resulted up-regulated. These findings show that components of adenosine metabolism and signalling are altered to promote adenosine production and signalling in HF patients. Thus, HF may benefit from adenosine-based drug therapy after confirmation by clinical trials.BioMed research international. 01/2013; 2013:569438.
Article: Neopterin levels are independently associated with cardiac remodeling in patients with chronic heart failure.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: Neopterin, a marker of inflammation and monocyte activation, is found increased in patients with heart failure (HF). This study investigates whether neopterin levels correlate with left ventricular (LV) remodeling and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a marker of cardiac stress, in chronic HF (CHF) patients with different severity of disease. DESIGN AND METHODS: The relationship between neopterin and LV dimensions, NT-proBNP, and pro-inflammatory cytokines were studied in 98 CHF patients, while nineteen healthy subjects were enrolled as controls. Nineteen (19%) patients were in NYHA class I, 38 (39%) in NYHA class II, 27 (28%) in NYHA class III, and 14 (14%) in NYHA class IV. RESULTS: Neopterin levels were higher in CHF patients than in age- and gender-matched healthy controls, and related with indexed LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDVi). Prospectively CHF patients were separated into tertiles of low, medium and high neopterin levels. Among patients, male gender, LVEDVi, diuretic treatment, NYHA class I, NT-proBNP and IL-8 levels were significant determinants of urine neopterin levels by bivariate analysis. Neopterin levels were associated only to LV remodeling, as assessed by LVEDVi, and IL-8 levels, a crucial monocyte chemoattractant, by multivariate ordinal regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between elevated neopterin levels and LV enlargement in CHF patients suggests a crucial role of monocyte activation in the development of cardiac dysfunction in CHF patients. Assessment of neopterin levels are a potential biomarker to evaluate the progression of LV remodeling in CHF patients.Clinical biochemistry 10/2012; · 2.02 Impact Factor
Article: Severity of oxidative stress and inflammatory activation in end-stage heart failure patients are unaltered after 1 month of left ventricular mechanical assistance.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the impact of early left ventricular (LV)-mechanical unloading on systemic oxidative stress and inflammation in terminal heart failure patients and their impact both on multi organ failure and on intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Circulating levels of urinary 15-isoprostane-F(2t) (8-epi-PGF2(α)) and pro-inflammatory markers [plasma interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and urinary neopterin, a monocyte activation index] were analyzed in 20 healthy subjects, 22 stable end-stage heart failure (ESHF) patients and in 23 LV assist device (LVAD) recipients at pre-implant and during first post-LVAD (PL) month. Multi-organ function was evaluated by total Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (tSOFA) score. In LVAD recipients the levels of oxidative-inflammatory markers and tSOFA score were higher compared to other groups. After device implantation 8-epi-PGF2(α) levels were unchanged, while IL-6, and IL-8 levels increased during first week, and at 1month returned to pre-implant values, while neopterin levels increased progressively during LVAD support. The tSOFA score worsened at 1 PL-week with respect to pre-implant value, but improved at 1 PL-month. The tSOFA score related with IL-6 and IL-8 levels, while length of ICU stay related with pre-implant IL-6 levels. These data suggest that hemodynamic instability in terminal HF is associated to worsening of systemic inflammatory and oxidative milieu that do not improve in the early phase of hemodynamic recovery and LV-unloading by LVAD, affecting multi-organ function and length of ICU stay. This data stimulate to evaluate the impact of inflammatory signals on long-term outcome of mechanical circulatory support.Cytokine 05/2012; 59(1):138-44. · 2.52 Impact Factor
Article: [Treatment of advanced heart failure in women: heart transplantation and ventricular assist devices].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Women candidates for heart transplantation are definitely less than men, just 20% of all patients transplanted; even in the INTERMACS registry they represent only 21% of all ventricular assist devices (VAD) implanted. The reasons for this big difference are discussed in this article. Why women are less frequently assessed for unconventional therapies? Are they sicker or just less regarded? Our experience and the literature show us clear epidemiological, clinical and treatment differences that could lead to a lower prevalence of end-stage disease in women of an age suitable for unconventional therapies. Once on the transplant list, women wait less than men for a heart transplant, because they present with more severe disease, have a lower body mass index and undergo less VAD implants. After transplantation women's survival is comparable to men's, although they usually complain of a lower quality of life. Females receive less often a VAD than men. The main reasons for this include presentation with advanced heart failure at an older age than men, worse outcomes related to small body surface area, and lower survival rates on VAD when implanted as bridge to heart transplantation.Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006) 05/2012; 13(5 Suppl 1):35S-41S.
Article: Association of pre-operative interleukin-6 levels with Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support profiles and intensive care unit stay in left ventricular assist device patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Inflammatory mechanisms are associated with worse prognosis in end-stage heart failure (ESHF) patients who require left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) profiles describe patient condition at pre-implant and outcome. This study assessed the relationship among inflammation patterns and INTERMACS profiles in LVAD recipients. Thirty ESHF patients undergoing LVAD implantation as bridge to transplant were enrolled. Blood and urine samples were collected pre-operatively and serially up to 2 weeks post-operatively for assessment of inflammatory markers (plasma levels of interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, IL-10, and osteopontin, a cardiac inflammatory-remodeling marker; and the urine neopterin/creatinine ratio, a monocyte activation marker). Multiorgan function was evaluated by the total sequential organ failure assessment (tSOFA) score. Outcomes of interest were early survival, post-LVAD tSOFA score, and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. Fifteen patients had INTERMACS profiles 1 or 2 (Group A), and 15 had profiles 3 or 4 (Group B). At pre-implant, only IL-6 levels and the IL-6/IL-10 ratio were higher in Group A vs B. After LVAD implantation, neopterin/creatinine ratio and IL-8 levels increased more in Group A vs B. Osteopontin levels increased significantly only in Group B. The tSOFA score at 2 weeks post-LVAD and ICU duration were related with pre-implant IL-6 levels. The INTERMACS profiles reflect the severity of the pre-operative inflammatory activation and the post-implant inflammatory response, affecting post-operative tSOFA score and ICU stay. Therefore, inflammation may contribute to poor outcome in patients with severe INTERMACS profile.The Journal of heart and lung transplantation: the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation 03/2012; 31(6):625-33. · 3.54 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Because of the progressive ageing of the population and the extensive use of recommended drugs, the number of patients with advanced chronic heart failure constantly increases. Several studies showed the efficacy of neurohormonal antagonists and electric devices in NYHA class III-IV patients; however, there is no agreement on the management of refractory heart failure, especially for patients who are not candidates for heart transplantation, because of age or comorbidity. The treatment with intravenous inotropic agents is considered a palliative care. The growing experience with implant of left ventricular assist devices, on the other hand, is encouraging and suggests more extensive use of these devices, both as bridge to transplant and as destination therapy.Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006) 11/2008; 9(10 Suppl 1):112S-117S.

ABSTRACT: Heart transplantation was performed firstly in 1967, but it became a valuable option in the 1980s, due to the availability of cyclosporine and of the technique for rejection monitoring by means of serial endomyocardial biopsies. Post-transplant survival improved over the years, mainly due to a reduction in early mortality for infection or acute rejection. Expected 1-year and 5-year survivals are around 85% and 70%, respectively. During the past 20-30 years, better therapies for heart failure have been developed, leading to restriction of heart transplant candidacy to truly refractory heart failure. On the contrary, the criteria for donor acceptance have been liberalized, due to the discrepancy between heart transplant candidates and available organs. It must be kept in mind that renal and/or hepatic insufficiency that may be a consequence of heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and donor age, all remain risk factors for mortality after transplantation. In order to maintain and possibly improve the results of heart transplantation, effective strategies to increase safely the donor pool are of utmost importance. Moreover, long-term post-transplant recipients present new challenges to research and clinical practice. Mechanical circulatory support devices represent a surgical bridge or an alternative to transplantation; their expansion is limited by costs, organizational burden, and by patient difficulties in accepting this therapy.Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006) 08/2008; 9(7):461-71.

Adrienne Mack-Davis - Echo Back
Artist: Adrienne Mack-Davis
Producer: Spills
Album: CirclesAndLines
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 17 votes )
Like Leonardo DiCaprio with his top and Joseph Gordon-Levitt with his loaded dice, Booth newcomer Adrienne Mack-Davis has developed her very own method of determining whether what she's experiencing is real or just a dream: as the up-and-coming singer/emcee explains in her latest single (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!), real words always Echo Back. Of course, keeping oneself firmly grounded in reality often means facing up to some uncomfortable truths – in this case, the fact that the man she loves is no longer by her side. Over Spills lush, electronically-accented string/brass production, the Rochester, N.Y. representative laments that, determined as she may be to move on with her life, she still can't get a certain fella out of her head; in the process, she showcases both strong vocal chops and (in her rapped verse) a vividly poetic lyrical sensibility. As poignant as it is relatable, Echo Back is just one of many fresh cuts to be found on Adrienne Mack-Davis' forthcoming Fighting for Futures Presents: For the Love street album, scheduled to hit the 'net February 15.

Hyperstars 3D 1.20
Although we have simulators that can create the illusion of space travels, we cannot know for sure how it feels, as we only began exploring space and the stars found in the vicinity of our planet.
For space enthusiasts, Hyperstars 3D offers a small view of their dream. The application acts as an animated wallpaper that simulates the hyperspace jump, along with the visual effect of interstellar traveling. The program requires DirectX installed in order to function properly.
Varied 3D wallpaper
Hyperstars 3D is an animated wallpaper application that displays the visual effects that a hyperspace travel might have. You can "live" the feeling of traveling in a spaceship between stars.
Furthermore, the application has many options that can change the visual effects displayed. You can change the speed of the "star travel" so you can better observe each passing object.
Additionally, you can change the flying direction, thus allowing you to see the stars passing behind as your virtual spaceship keeps going forward.
One of the most visually-stunning features is the fact that you can set the application to randomly select a color theme from the ones provided. You do not have to stare at the same color scheme, as you can have many star colors, such as blue combined with purple stars, or yellow and green ones.
An elegant animated wallpaper
Hyperstars 3D is a lightweight, yet powerful application that can help you virtually travel in hyperspace, by animating your desktop. In addition, you can use the program as a screensaver, which provides you with the same amazing visual effects for your idle screen.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.
Even cavemen need their tunes. (If you don't know who this is then I think that makes me old.)
captain, caveman, teen, angels, apple, music, tunes, humor, vector, mp3, player, superhero
I went to school for art, I work in IT, and now I get a chance to sell my artwork. With a wife and 5 kids art is a way for me to relax.
