Milano, Italy
This was my very first project made one year ago. It was exciting! I now recognise some of the little mistakes I made, but still I'm attached to it and I find it very versatile.
The fabric is a scrap I found in a bargain shop for as little as 4 euros. I used bias tape to finish armholes and neckhole.

HoopsHype Goran Dragic rumors
"The NBA can offer so many good players, even if those other guys didn't come, USA still has a good chance to win a gold medal," Dragic said. "It's them and Spain. But the way they play so aggressively, they can pressure the whole court. They can beat anyone." ESPN.com
Dragic still might be seen more than Derrick Rose on Tuesday, but the agreement has been for Dragic to be kept to one practice per day and no more than 25 minutes of playing time in exhibition appearances. The Suns and his agents agreed to bump his exhibition appearances from three to five, which still keeps him out of most of Slovenia's 16 exhibitions. "You have to be ready and be fair," said Rade Filipovic, who represents Dragic along with agent Bill Duffy. "We don't want him to be burned out or injured. Everyone is concerned or cautious. "You have to respect Phoenix. He had two or three ankle injuries. It's tough. When you were born like him, you want to play. You know Goran. He plays hurt. But he's 100 percent healthy. I expect him to be 100 percent and fresh for the new season. We try to learn from the past mistakes. He's a national hero and the only guy who is the pride of the nation. It's a huge pressure for him." Arizona Republic
Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough talked Monday to Dragic, who also said that he is "fresh." McDonough said Filipovic, Duffy, the Slovenians and the Suns have cooperated to execute a mutually beneficial plan. "We wanted to make sure Goran was fresh and stays healthy but still allow him to get ready for the tournament," McDonough said. "It's been a positive experience." Arizona Republic
RealGM: Do you stay in touch with Eric Bledsoe? Do you receive information about his situation and do you pay attention to it? Goran Dragic: I follow him on Twitter. I talked with Jeff couple of weeks ago and they still didn't know if they are going to offer him a contract. We are waiting for his decision. But I think he is a big part of this team. He was great last year and we played together well. I hope he will sign for the next year. RealGM
If Dragic, Bledsoe and Thomas all are available, Hornacek can keep two fresh, starting playmakers in the backcourt at all times. He called it a "three-headed monster." "Why not?" Hornacek said. The always-effervescent Thomas brightened even more at the suggestion. "I think it would work," he said. "We're totally three different basketball players. We could come at guys from three different directions. It's going to be tough for teams to guard us." Can the Suns contend for titles this way? Conventional thinking says no. But the Suns aren't thinking conventionally these days. Arizona Republic
Suns trading away Goran Dragic, possibly to the Pacers? Not so fast, says a source with knowledge of the talks. "No, no, no," the source said. "Nothing to that. The team and Goran, they're still committed to each other." According to an ESPN report, the Pacers — looking to upgrade at point guard — have engaged the Suns in talks about a possible deal that would send Dragic to Indiana. Consider those talks to be decidedly one-sided. Sporting News
Following a season in which he was third-team All-NBA and averaged 20.3 points on 50.5 percent shooting, the Suns have no interest in moving Dragic, the source said. Dragic is entering the third year of a four-year, $30 million contract and has the ability to opt out of his contract and hit free agency next summer. Sporting News
Marc Stein: Indiana Pacers, I'm told, have tried to engage Phoenix in trade talks for Goran Dragic, but teams have found no common deal ground. Yet something to keep an eye on, though, with Indy known to covet an upgrade at PG and stubborn perception Suns can't afford Bledsoe AND Dragic. Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc J. Spears: Suns interested in Love deal w/best assets Dragic, Bledsoe & picks.NBA sources say it will take full max deal to control free agent Bledsoe. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Goran Dragic agreed to play in the 2014 World Championship, as revealed in a press conference today and reported by the slovenian national television. Goran said: "This year's NBA season in Phoenix was both physically and mentally very tough, while I was plagued by problems with a damaged ankle. At first I really wanted to take the time just for rehabilitation and family, but only after one month of break, I gained power, and is is easier now to take a final decision. Also, all the inquiries that I have done recently showed that I will be in perfect physical shape just in time for the World Championship. It is a great honour for me to represent the Slovenia in Spain and unite the fans for a common success of the Slovenian team." Bright Side of the Sun
Some days ago Eurohoops published that his brother, Zoran, is close to the NBA. How possible is that according to Goran? "I've heard that also. I'm happy that he's doing well and there is interest from NBA teams for him. It's our dream -it's not a secret- to become the first Slovenians brothers who will play in the NBA. But I want to let him know that if we 'll face each other in the NBA, it will be my pleasure to beat him". EuroHoops.net
A popular debate in the NBA is the quality difference between East and West. Does he feel that there isn't justice in the playoffs qualification? If Suns were in the East, they would finish third along with the Raptors and Bulls. "These are the NBA rules. The commissioner and the NBA people know better. Of course we feel that there isn't justice. But this is the NBA competition system a lot of years now. And none knows what's going to happen later". EuroHoops.net
You received a few votes for Most Valuable Player. For a while, you were of the main favorites for the award. What does that mean to you? Goran Dragic: I was very surprised! During the season I was among the Top 10 to win this award, but the votes were still a really nice surprise. I am very happy that I got there. The votes are a reward for my efforts and my work, but certainly I can't be satisfied with that. Kosarka.si
How is your relationship with Jeff Hornacek? Goran Dragic: Very special relationship. We spend a lot of time together. A couple of times he came to our house for lunch. One day he even babysat my son Mateo, which is a bit unusual [laughs]. I was really surprised about that one. We developed a relationship based on friendship. We hang out a lot. When it's time for practice, of course we're professional about our roles as player and coach. But after practice we were friends. Kosarka.si

SAN CLEMENTE, CA—A partnership formed by an affiliate of Argosy Real Estate and senior principals of Evolution Hospitality acquired the DoubleTree by Hilton LAX - El Segundo for an undisclosed amount.
The hotel, which will be managed by San Clemente, CA-based Evolution Hospitality, is located adjacent to Mattel Inc. headquarters in a 7.5 million sq.-ft. corporate park and two miles from Los Angeles International Airport. It features 215 guestrooms, a full-service restaurant and bar, 4,500 sq. ft. of meeting space and a heated outdoor pool and spa. A renovation to update the guestrooms, lobby and restaurant is planned for late 2014.
"DoubleTree by Hilton LAX – El Segundo has consistently shown a strong operating performance even during the recent economic downturn. We're excited to welcome the hotel's highly functioning associates to our family, and equally excited for our growing relationship with Argosy Real Estate," stated John Murphy, president of Evolution Hospitality.

After 10 slow miles on a bumpy dirt road with no other person or dwelling in sight, it crossed my mind that maybe the owners of Bitterroot Ranch didn't really want to be found. There were no signs anywhere, no encouragement that we were getting any closer, or had even made the correct turn off the one-lane road just past the blink-of-an-eye cowboy town of Dubois, in Wyoming's less-traveled Wind River Valley.
There was nothing. No GPS guidance. No cellphone service. No caravan of other rented four-wheel drives to fall in behind. Nothing. Nothing but 360 degrees of mountain ranges of every size and hue, backlit by a big sky turning purple and orange as the sun set. Gray and white strokes of rainstorms moved across the grassy meadows and sagebrush plains in the distance. I wanted to stop and stare forever. I wanted to keep driving, too, to figure out if we were lost before it became pitch dark.

Dialysis patients among evacuees after smoky elevator fire at Brady Sullivan Tower
No one was injured in the incident that happened about 8:45 a.m. Fire Chief James Burkush said 18 patients, who were receiving dialysis treatment at the Manchester Kidney Center, which just recently moved into the first floor of the 1750 Elm St. building, were outside for only a few minutes before the building was cleared of smoke and they were allowed back inside.
District Fire Chief James Michael said a second-alarm was called because of the size of the building, the large number of people in it and because it took time for firefighters to locate the fire. Once they found the fire in a 3-by-6-foot elevator generator, they quickly extinguished it.
The building has two sections - one with four floors and the other with 12, Michael explained. The entire building was evacuated as a precaution.
Burkush said the Manchester Transit Authority was called to bring buses to the site to accommodate the kidney dialysis patients, but by the time they arrived the patients already were back inside.
The under control was sounded about 30 minutes after the fire was reported. Office workers were then allowed back inside but some had to trudge up the stairs to their offices because the elevators were temporarily shut down.
Soon after, however, all were back in use, except for the one with the damaged generator.

Exotic Sabrina – The Gentlemans Secret
New updated website is up and running, hope you like my new gallery and look. All iPhone, Android, tablet and PC friendly, thanks for the kind comments I've received so far. Couple of fun facts about my website and blog;
- - The font is an actual 'Milton Keynes font' a signature typeface invented just for MK so I thought it would be fun to use
- - Its the first time ever I've had a set of gallery pictures that do not contain any animal print!!! *Shock Horror* haha
In other news, I'm not long back in MK after spending nearly a week in Central London, offering the opportunity to visit me in-call whilst I was there. I had a tremendous time, meeting some old friends and new, as well going out and about enjoying the sights and fun atmosphere. The weather was so warm and I had great views from my rooftop hotel room.
I am in London a lot but I usually pop in and out for a hotel rendezvous, so it was nice to actually spend some time there. I know MK isn't far to visit but if you work in Central London you won't be able to pop out to MK and still get back to the office in time to finish the day.
I will offer in calls in Central London again periodically, the next visit being in December. Look out for December 2014 dates on here and my Twitter.
As always I took a few pictures and video for your viewing pleasure, but I gather you are more interested in the sights inside my room then out :-))
So as usual, I'm available for in-calls at Casa Romance Milton Keynes as well as outcalls to London hotels, you know how to get in touch to book now surely? Look forward to seeing you soon.

Article: Reliability of semiquantitative (18)F-FDG PET parameters derived from simultaneous brain PET/MRI: A feasibility study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Simultaneous brain PET/MRI faces an important issue of validation of accurate MRI based attenuation correction (AC) method for precise quantitation of brain PET data unlike in PET/CT systems where the use of standard, validated CT based AC is routinely available. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of evaluation of semiquantitative (18)F-FDG PET parameters derived from simultaneous brain PET/MRI using ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequences for AC and to assess their agreement with those obtained from PET/CT examination. Sixteen patients (age range 18-73 years; mean age 49.43 (19.3) years; 13 men 3 women) underwent simultaneous brain PET/MRI followed immediately by PET/CT. Quantitative analysis of brain PET images obtained from both studies was undertaken using Scenium v.1 brain analysis software package. Twenty ROIs for various brain regions were system generated and 6 semiquantitative parameters including maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max), SUV mean, minimum SUV (SUV min), minimum standard deviation (SD min), maximum SD (SD max) and SD from mean were calculated for both sets of PET data for each patient. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were determined to assess agreement between the various semiquantitative parameters for the two PET data sets. Intra-class co-relation between the two PET data sets for SUV max, SUV mean and SD max was highly significant (p<0.00) for all the 20 predefined brain regions with ICC>0.9. SD from mean was also found to be statistically significant for all the predefined brain regions with ICC>0.8. However, SUV max and SUV mean values obtained from PET/MRI were significantly lower compared to those of PET/CT for all the predefined brain regions. PET quantitation accuracy using the MRI based UTE sequences for AC in simultaneous brain PET/MRI is reliable in a clinical setting, being similar to that obtained using PET/CT.European journal of radiology 04/2014;
Article: Evaluation of the relationship between renal function and renal volume-vascular indices using 3D power Doppler ultrasound.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the relationship between renal function and total renal volume-vascular indices using 3D power Doppler ultrasound (3DPDUS). One hundred six patients with hypertensive proteinuric nephropathy (HPN) (49 male, 57 female) and 65 healthy controls (32 male, 33 female) were evaluated prospectively using 3DPDUS. Total renal volume (RV), vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) were calculated using Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis (VOCAL). The estimated glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) of the patients with HPN and the control group were calculated. The patients with HPN were divided into two groups on the basis of GFR, normal (≥90) or reduced (<90). Differences between groups were compared using ANOVA. Correlations between GFR, renal volume and vascular indices were analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis. Significance was set at p<0.05. The mean total RV, VI, FI and VFI values in the reduced GFR, normal GFR and control groups were RV (ml): 234.7, 280.7 and 294.6; VI: 17.6, 27.6 and 46.8; FI: 79.1, 88.7 and 93.9 and VFI: 7.1, 12.7 and 23.8. There were statistically significant differences between the groups (p<0.001). Total RVs and vascular indices exhibited significant correlations with estimated GFR (r=0.53-0.59, p<0.001) CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound is a reliable predictive technique in renal function analysis.European journal of radiology 04/2014;
Article: Placement of hemoparin-coated stents in the iliac arteries: Early experience and midterm results in 28 patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim was to determine immediate results and mid-term outcome of the hemoparin-coated (HC) stainless-steel stent (camouflage coating) in the treatment of occlusive lesions of the iliac arteries. Twenty-eight patients were prospectively treated with the use of a HC stent between January 2007 and March 2010. Clinical examination and color-doppler ultrasound were performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, CT angiography (CTA) or MR angiography (MRA) at 12 months. Indication for treatment was a high-grade stenosis of the common iliac and/or external iliac artery. Successful placement was achieved in all patients. Significant decrease in translesional pressure gradient (>10mmHg) was measured in 27 patients (96%). In one patient, proximal dissection occurred without flow limitation. A minor complication (small access site hematoma) occurred in one patient (4%). Two patients (7%) were lost to follow-up. After 12 months, stent patency in CTA, MRA and ultrasound was 100%. 20 patients (77%) experienced an initial improvement of at least one clinical stage. In one patient (4%), mild intimal hyperplasia without significant stenosis was observed. In three patients (12%), proximal or distal stenosis occurred. A non-significant increase of mean ankle-brachial index (ABI) after treatment was measured (0.85±0.27 vs. 0.75±0.22, respectively; p=0.328). The use of HC stents in patients with iliac artery occlusive disease may lead to a lower rate of intimal hyperplasia and thus to increased patency rates even in heavily calcified vessels. However, large-scale prospective trials have to be performed to evaluate the long-term patency rates of the HC coated stents.European journal of radiology 04/2014;

ABSTRACT: Assisted techniques (AT) for vertebral cementoplasty include multiple mini-invasive percutaneous systems in which vertebral augmentation is obtained through mechanical devices with the aim to reach the best vertebral height restoration. As an evolution of the vertebroplasty, the rationale of the AT-treatment is to combine the analgesic and stability effect of cement injection with the restoration of a physiological height for the collapsed vertebral body. Reduction of the vertebral body kyphotic deformity, considering the target of normal spine biomechanics, could improve all systemic potential complications evident in patient with vertebral compression fracture (VCF). Main indications for AT are related to fractures in fragile vertebral osseous matrix and non-osteoporotic vertebral lesions due to spine metastasis or trauma. Many companies developed different systems for AT having the same target but different working cannula, different vertebral height restoration system and costs. Aim of this review is to discuss about vertebral cementoplasty procedures and techniques, considering patient inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as all related minor and/or major interventional complications.European journal of radiology 04/2014;
Article: Less is better? Intraindividual and interindividual comparison between 0.075mmol/kg of gadobenate dimeglumine and 0.1mmol/kg of gadoterate meglumine for cranial MRI.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To retrospectively compare a reduced dose (RD) (0.075mmol/kg) of gadobenate dimeglumine (RD-gadobenate) with standard single dose (SSD) (0.1mmol/kg) of gadoterate meglumine (SSD-gadoterate) for cranial MRI. Thirty-one patients (12 males; aged 52±16 years) underwent cranial MRI with SSD-gadoterate and repeated the examination with RD-gadobenate after a median interval of 10 months. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was obtained on contrast-enhanced images for enhancing lesions (n=10) as well as for right and left transverse venous sinuses, internal carotid arteries, and parotid glands. Moreover, a consecutive series of 100 cranial MRI with SSD-gadoterate (49 males; aged 51±19 years) was compared with a consecutive series of 100 cranial MRI with RD-gadobenate (45 males; aged 54±18 years). Two blinded neuroradiologists (R1, R2) judged contrast enhancement as sufficient, good, or optimal. Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, χ(2), and Cohen κ statistics were used. At intraindividual analysis, median SNR ranged 57-88 for SSD-gadoterate and 79-99 for RD-gadobenate, the latter being systematically higher, the difference being significant for both transverse venous sinuses (p≤0.011), not significant for both internal carotid arteries and both parotid glands, and enhancing lesions (p≤0.101). The two series of interindividual analysis were not significantly different for gender/age (p>0.415). Contrast enhancement was optimal in 59% (R1) and 76% (R2) of patients using RD-gadobenate, in 39% (R1) and 49% (R2) of patients using SSD-gadoterate (p≤0.016), with substantial reproducibility (κ≥0.606). Both analyses showed an equal or better contrast enhancement when using RD-gadobenate compared to SSD-gadoterate for routine cranial MRI. The high relaxivity of gadobenate allowed for a 25% dose reduction.European journal of radiology 04/2014;

ABSTRACT: Pathology in the urinary tract is one of the most frequent queries when children are referred for an ultrasound examination. Comprehensive ultrasound examinations can answer most clinical questions of the urogenital tract with minimal patient preparation and without the use of ionising radiation. Therefore, optimised imaging protocols should be available in all radiology departments where children are examined. This review suggests a preferred imaging protocol for urogenital imaging in children and gives an overview of the different structures of the urogenital tract, the normal age-related sonographic anatomy, and gives examples of the most commonly encountered diseases of the urogenital system in children.European journal of radiology 04/2014;
Article: Thiol-PEG-carboxyl-stabilized Fe2O3/Au nanoparticles targeted to CD105: Synthesis, characterization and application in MR imaging of tumor angiogenesis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To detect tumor angiogenesis in tumor-bearing mice using thiol-PEG-carboxyl-stabilized Fe2O3/Au nanoparticles targeted to CD105 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fe2O3/Au nanoparticles (hybrids) were prepared by reducing Au(3+) on the surface of Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Hybrids were stabilized with thiol-PEG-carboxyl via the Au-S covalent bond, and further conjugated with anti-CD105 antibodies through amide linkages. Characteristics of the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles were evaluated. Using these nanoparticles, the labeling specificity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was evaluated in vitro. MRI T2*-weighted images were obtained at different time points after intravenous administration of the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles in the tumor-bearing mice. After MR imaging, the breast cancer xenografts were immediately resected for immunohistochemistry staining and Prussian blue staining to measure the tumor microvessel density (MVD) and evaluate the labeling of blood microvessels by the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles in vivo. The mean diameter of the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles was 56.6±8.0nm, as measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Immune activity of the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles was 53% of that of the anti-CD105 antibody, as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The specific binding of HUVECs with the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles was proved by immunostaining and Prussian blue staining in vitro. For breast cancer xenografts, the combination of the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles with blood microvessels was detectable by MRI after 60min administration of the contrast agent. The T2* relative signal intensity (SIR) was positively correlated with the tumor MVD (R(2)=0.8972). Anti-CD105 antibody-coupled, thiol-PEG-carboxyl-stabilized core-shell Fe2O3/Au nanoparticles can efficiently target CD105 expressed by HUVECs. Furthermore, the hybrid-PEG-CD105 nanoparticles can be used to detect tumor angiogenesis in vivo.European journal of radiology 04/2014;
Article: MRI for characterization of primary tumors in the non-cirrhotic liver: Added value of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced hepatospecific phase.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the added value of hepatospecific phase in Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with primary tumors in non-cirrhotic liver. Twenty-nine patients (median, 39 years; range, 18-81 years; 11 male) underwent preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI including hepatospecific phase after 10 and 20min of contrast injection at four institutions in Europe, North America and New Zealand. Images were evaluated by three different readers (R1-R3) who characterized liver tumors with and without consultation of the hepatospecific phase images. Confidence in diagnosis was scored on a visual analog scale from 1 to 10. Histopathology (adenoma, n=5; focal nodular hyperplasia, n=11 and hepatocellular carcinoma, n=13) in all patients served as the standard of reference. Differences were evaluated using the McNemar and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Without hepatospecific phase images available, 22 (76%), 19 (66%) and 19 (66%) of 29 tumors were characterized correctly by the three readers respectively. Mean confidence in diagnosis was 6.1, 5.7 and 5.8. With the hepatospecific phase included, characterization of liver tumors did not change significantly with 21 (72%), 23 (79%) and 19 (66%) of 29 tumors diagnosed correctly (p>0.05). According confidence ratings increased to 6.3, 6.5 and 7.7, respectively. Increase in diagnostic confidence was significant for R2 and R3 (p<0.05) and independent of reader's experience. The additional hepatospecific phase in Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI did not significantly increase diagnostic accuracy in characterization of primary tumors in the non-cirrhotic liver. However, 2/3 readers showed a significant increase in diagnostic confidence after consultation of the hepatospecific phase.European journal of radiology 04/2014;
Article: Ultrasound and computed tomography features of primary acinic cell carcinoma in the parotid gland: A retrospective study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to characterize the ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) findings of primary acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) of the parotid gland. Seventy patients (70 lesions) with histopathologically proven AciCC underwent US or CT examination. The following characteristics were assessed on US images: size, shape, border, echogenicity, echotexture, internal structure, distal acoustic enhancement, and vascularity. The following characteristics were evaluated on CT images: size, shape, border, density, CT values on plain and contrast-enhanced scans, enhancement pattern, enhancement degree, and surrounding bone destruction. On US images, lesions were irregular, well-defined, hypoechoic, heterogeneous, and poorly vascularized. On CT images, lesions were regular and well-defined, and showed slight heterogeneous enhancement. These findings suggest that most primary AciCCs show benign features on US and CT.European journal of radiology 03/2014;
Article: Metastatic retropharyngeal lymph nodes: Comparison of CT and MR imaging for diagnostic accuracy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracies of CT and MR imaging for the detection of metastatic retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RLNs) in patients with nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The study included 38 patients (28 men and 10 women; mean age, 65 years; age range, 48-82 years) with nasopharyngeal (n=15) and oropharyngeal (n=23) SCC who underwent both contrast-enhanced CT and MR imaging before chemoradiotherapy. RLNs were classified as malignant or benign on the basis of the results of follow-up MR imaging. Two radiologists independently evaluated the images for diagnosing metastatic RLNs. Among a total of 68 RLNs (minimum diameter, ≥4mm) that were detected on gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted images, 30 (44%) were malignant and 38 (56%) were benign. The sensitivities of CT versus MRI were 60% versus 97% for observer 1 (p<0.01) and 37% versus 90% for observer 2 (p<0.01). The specificities of CT versus MRI were 92% versus 97% for observer 1 (p=0.50) and 92% versus 100% for observer 2 (p=0.25). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for CT versus MRI were 0.788 versus 0.996 for observer 1 (p<0.01) and 0.693 versus 0.961 for observer 2 (p<0.01). MR imaging was superior to CT for the detection of metastatic RLNs.European journal of radiology 03/2014;
Article: Paradoxical signal pattern of mediastinal cysts on T2-weighted MR imaging: phantom and clinical study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the intracystic MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) signal intensity of mediastinal cystic masses on T2-weighted images. A phantom study was performed to evaluate the signal intensity of a mediastinal cystic mass phantom (rubber balloon containing water) adjacent to a cardiac phantom pulsing at the rate of 60/min. T2-weighted images (sequence, fast spin echo [FSE] and single shot fast spin echo [SSFSE]) were acquired for the mediastinal cystic mass phantom. Further, a clinical study was performed in 33 patients (16 men, 17 women; age range, 19-85 years; mean, 65years) with thymic cysts or pericardial cysts. In all patients, T2-weighted images (FSE and SSFSE) were acquired. The signal intensity of cystic lesion was evaluated and was compared with that of muscle. A region of interest (ROI) was positioned on the standard MR console, and signal intensity of the cystic mass (cSI), that of the muscle (mSI), and the rate of absolute value of cSI-mSI to standard deviation (SD) of background noise (|cSI-mSI|/SD=CNR [contrast-to-noise ratio]) were measured. The phantom study demonstrated that the rate phantom-ROI/saline-ROI was higher in SSFSE (0.36) than in FSE (0.19). In clinical cases, the degree of the signal intensity was higher in SSFSE than in FSE. The CNR was significantly higher in SSFSE (mean±standard deviation, 111.0±47.6) than in FSE (72.8±36.6) (p<0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Anterior mediastinal cysts often show lower signal intensity than the original signal intensity of water on T2-weighted images. SSFSE sequence reduces this paradoxical signal pattern on T2-weighted images, which may otherwise cause misinterpretation when assessing cystic lesions.European journal of radiology 03/2014;
Article: A computerized global MR image feature analysis scheme to assist diagnosis of breast cancer: a preliminary assessment.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To develop a new computer-aided detection scheme to compute a global kinetic image feature from the dynamic contrast enhanced breast magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and test the feasibility of using the computerized results for assisting classification between the DCE-MRI examinations associated with malignant and benign tumors. The scheme registers sequential images acquired from each DCE-MRI examination, segments breast areas on all images, searches for a fraction of voxels that have higher contrast enhancement values and computes an average contrast enhancement value of selected voxels. Combination of the maximum contrast enhancement values computed from two post-contrast series in one of two breasts is applied to predict the likelihood of the examination being positive for breast cancer. The scheme performance was evaluated when applying to a retrospectively collected database including 80 malignant and 50 benign cases. In each of 91% of malignant cases and 66% of benign cases, the average contrast enhancement value computed from the top 0.43% of voxels is higher in the breast depicted suspicious lesions as compared to another negative (lesion-free) breast. In classifying between malignant and benign cases, using the computed image feature achieved an area under a receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.839 with 95% confidence interval of [0.762, 0.898]. We demonstrated that the global contrast enhancement feature of DCE-MRI can be relatively easily and robustly computed without accurate breast tumor detection and segmentation. This global feature provides supplementary information and a higher discriminatory power in assisting diagnosis of breast cancer.European journal of radiology 03/2014;
Article: SPECT myocardial perfusion versus fractional flow reserve for evaluation of functional ischemia: A meta analysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present meta-analysis illustrates the accuracy of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) to diagnose functional stenotic coronary artery disease (CAD) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) as standard reference. All investigators screened and selected studies that compared MPS with FFR in symptomatic patients with suspected CAD. Patients and study characteristics were independently extracted by two investigators; differences were resolved by consensus. 13 articles, including 1,017 patients, 699 vessels were included in the study. No significant publication bias was detected (P=0.65). At the patient level, the summary sensitivity and specificity were 77% (95% confidence interval [CI], 70-83%) and 77% (95%CI, 67-84%) for MPS. Vessel-level pooled sensitivity was 66% (95%CI, 57-74%) and specificity was 81% (95%CI, 70-89%). The overall diagnostic performance of MPS was moderate. [The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve was 0.83]. No study influenced the pooled results larger than 0.03. The accuracy between FFR and MPS SPECT was moderate.European journal of radiology 03/2014;

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic armamentarium for symptomatic intervertebral disc herniation includes conservative therapy, epidural infiltrations (interlaminar or trans-foraminal), percutaneous therapeutic techniques and surgical options. Percutaneous, therapeutic techniques are imaging-guided, minimally invasive treatments for intervertebral disc herniation which can be performed as outpatient procedures. They can be classified in 4 main categories: mechanical, thermal, chemical decompression and biomaterials implantation. Strict sterility measures are a prerequisite and should include extensive local sterility and antibiotic prophylaxis. Indications include the presence of a symptomatic, small to medium sized contained intervertebral disc herniation non-responding to a 4-6 weeks course of conservative therapy. Contraindications include sequestration, infection, segmental instability (spondylolisthesis), uncorrected coagulopathy or a patient unwilling to provide informed consent. Decompression techniques are feasible and reproducible, efficient (75-94% success rate) and safe (>0.5% mean complications rate) therapies for the treatment of symptomatic intervertebral disc herniation. Percutaneous, imaging guided, intervertebral disc therapeutic techniques can be proposed either as an initial treatment or as an attractive alternative prior to surgery for the therapy of symptomatic herniation in both cervical and lumbar spine. This article will describe the mechanism of action for different therapeutic techniques applied to intervertebral discs of cervical and lumbar spine, summarize the data concerning safety and effectiveness of these treatments, and provide a rational approach for the therapy of symptomatic intervertebral disc herniation in cervical and lumbar spine.European journal of radiology 03/2014;

"A piece" can also refer to a handgun. J. Cole is saying that he and the people of his city are tired of needing to carry a piece just to feel safe, which follows up on the description from his previous lines.
'A' keep the talk 'B' I'm trying to 'C' dough
Spiders are cold blooded creatures, so this whole line is just cold.
It could refer to the fact that he's a high roller, as in he's got a lot of money and spending it (like he mentioned in the previous line by copping a car).
Em is actually referring to Dave Mays, Ray Benzino, and Kim Osario from The Source Magazine.
J. Cole later referenced this line on the Kanye West track "Looking For Trouble"
Update for my previous post, since I can't edit: The Game and Big Fase 100 have been beefing since 2005. Big Fase claims Game left his fam in need behind after he blew up, while Game claims none of them visited him in the hospital after he was shot in 2001. Big Fase went in depth about their fallout in an interview with King-Mag back in '06.
So Royce saying "I got a big face/Big Fase in 'The Game'" is another way of saying he's blowin' up and becoming visible to the masses (hence a "big face") — but he has a bitter older brother due to his fame now (like the Big Fase vs. Game situation). It's a hidden comparison, but the wording of it leads me to believe it was intentional.
There is a possible double entendre here with the "I got a big face in the game" line. The Game and Big Fase 100 are two other brothers in hip hop who have beef.

Eminem talks about rhyming the word "orange" in an interview with 60 minutes:
"People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything and that kind of pisses me off because I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange," says Eminem. For example: "I put my orange, four-inch, door-hinge in storage and ate porridge…You have to figure out the science to breaking down words."

Such a hidden gem!
Luckily I saw it on Tripadvisor before we came to Milan.
Should be on the top of you attractions list
From the street, one couldn't guess the treasure this church is. It is separated into 2 parts (since it was part of an abbey and the nuns had a space separated from the wordly crowd in the same church). It was recently restored (the restoration is still going on) and the ceilings and the paintings are truly spectacular.
Chiesa di San Maurizio has old Roman walls surrounding the original medieval buildings giving a real strong sense of the history of Milan. Beautiful stained glass in the church, too.
Interesting but very small to see. Small church with beautiful paiting in there. Definitely ancient and in very good condition.
This highly recommended church does not disappoint. With the modest front you are surprised by the beautiful frescoes inside. The church is divided into two, one for the public and a hidden backroom for the nuns, access via the museum to the right. The hidden area was absolutely the most interesting part.
Free entrance and a great break from a...
Passed this on a tour of the City and the Tour guide said it was worth a visit. Very unassuming exterior but inside magnificent with every surface covered in paintings and frescoes. also some archeological sites next door. well worth a trip.
Not to be missed. You must book in advance to be admitted, individually or as part of a tour. many tours join several sites including the main Cathedral - The Duomo
I was early for an appointment one day and decided to pop into this church, which I often pass by, and the neighboring archaeological museum. The frescoes are magnificient and the place in the process of being restored. If you have ever wanted to see restoration up close - you can view it from 2 feet away here! This is...
I visited here recently (we're a family of 4, including 2 toddlers), and this is a nice, little church with amazing paintings throughout on the inside. The outside doesn't give much away, but (like other churches we saw in Milan) once inside, it is impressive.

You can see much better frescos in the heart of Milano.
The church, from the outside, is totally anonimous in a greysh Corso Magenta with clattering trams passing in front of it, but once you get inside you will be astonished.

If you were excited about the MechWarrior reboot being teased by Piranha Games, we've got some possibly unfortunate news. Apparently, IGN received a cease-and-desist order from Harmony Gold, the unfortunately named co-owner of the Robotech universe, regarding some imagery in a recent trailer teasing Piranha's project.
There's no relation between the two 'verses, but Harmony Gold claims that some of the bots in the trailer are a little too close to a few from Robotech. At this point, we don't know: 1) if those characters really are infringing on Harmony Gold's trademark; or 2) how difficult it would be to remove said characters from the game. So, there's still a chance this dispute may go away. We'll keep an eye on things for you.

Aging Deliberately
Liz Taylor on why long-term care insurance is important
"Aging Deliberately" columnist Liz Taylor talks about why it's important to have a long-term-care insurance policy.
Special to The Seattle Times
Liz Taylor talks
A workshop on long-term health care insurance will be given by Liz Taylor and Ken Story, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. June 24 at the Mercer Island Community Center at Mercer View, 8236 SE 24th St. Pre-paid reservations are required by Friday. Reservations are being accepted at www.agingdeliberately.com.
I have a love-hate relationship with long-term- care insurance.
As readers know, I strongly recommend that most comfortably well-off Americans consider buying a policy. I bought mine almost a decade ago, and, as much as I don't like forking over $200 a month for it, I'm glad I bought it. The main reason: I see no alternatives. Here's why:• My career in aging has paid poorly, and I haven't saved enough for my retirement, much less any serious-care needs. My mom died of Alzheimer's disease, and she and my dad, who also needed care, spent around half a million dollars over eight years. I have nothing like that to rely on — and never will.
• I have no children, the number one source of free care as people become frail. Those of us without children, or children we can count on (they must live near by), will pay sooner and longer than those who have family to help.
• I know the good, the bad and the ugly quality in long-term care, and I'm going to demand the good. That means I have to pay for it. We know the power of paying for our needs all our lives — why do we think the rules change when we get old?
• With skyrocketing federal deficits and a public that refuses to pay more taxes, relying on the government to pay for your care is one of the dumbest things you could do. Our eldercare payment mechanisms were in bad shape 20 years ago, and they're much worse today. Imagine what it's going to be like when nearly 80 million boomers reach old age (compared with 35 million elders today).
Here's the other side of the coin — my reasons for disliking the industry:
• Long-term-care insurance is the most complicated insurance in the market — far more complex than home, car, life or disability — yet many providers seem to go out of their way to keep their policies mysterious. Why aren't companies having a race to see who can come up with the easiest-to-understand brochures and marketing materials?
The jargon in long-term care is mind numbing, and most policies are filled with it. I have readers who don't know what their policies cover — just as they need care — and don't know how to follow the rules to get coverage.
Here's a common example. Many policies today cover in-home care — but only under certain circumstances. Some will pay if you hire staff through a "home health care agency," but not a "home care agency" (without "health" in its licensure); few will let you hire a friend or relative, and many won't cover if you hire someone who's not part of an agency. But rarely do I see this spelled out in policies.
• There are other traps, and even some employers — well meaning but unaware of what makes a good plan — are offering policies that don't measure up. For example, one of the most important options to buy in a policy if you're under age 75 is an automatic inflation rider. The key here is "automatic," meaning the coverage will increase automatically over time without increasing the price of the policy. Thus your buying power increases as the cost of care increases. However, the group policy that Microsoft makes available to its employees doesn't offer an automatic inflation rider. Employees can purchase a guarantee to buy more coverage later on, but at much higher rates. In the group policy offered to Washington state employees and retirees, the assisted-living benefit pays at only 75 percent of the nursing-home benefit, and home care (often the most expensive care if you need a lot) is reduced to 60 percent. Worse yet, it will only pay for homemaker services (such as cooking and cleaning) for a maximum of 21 days per year — easily the benefit that's needed longest and most often.
I believe in long-term-care insurance and I don't sell it. I also know it's possible to buy a good policy if you're careful. When it's in the government's self interest to get more of us to pay for our own care someday, it's amazing how few safeguards are available to protect us.
Most of us age accidentally,
without planning or forethought. Aging Deliberately tells us how
to age on purpose. You can reach Liz Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to P.O. Box 11601, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110.

The workshop by Liz Taylor and Ken Story about how to evaluate a good long-term-care insurance policy is scheduled for June 24, 2008 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Mercer Island Community Center at Mercer View, 8236 SE 24th St. A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the workshop would be held at the University of Washington Retirement Association.

Frontline Investigates Ebola Outbreak
Tuesday, September 9, 2014 - 9:00pm
Frontline is airing two late-breaking reports Tuesday, September 9 looking at the Ebola outbreak in Africa and at the atrocities committed by members of the Nigerian military. The program airs at 9:00 p.m. on KUED.
With Ebola spreading out of control throughout West Africa, Frontline: Ebola Outbreak is on the ground with health officials urgently tracking people infected with the deadly disease and trying to stop its rampant spread. Using special access to Sierra Leone's Ebola investigators, the report vividly shows how the unprecedented outbreak is endangering health care workers, overwhelming hospitals, and getting worse.
The program also investigates accounts that members of the Nigerian military have committed atrocities in the fight against Boko Haram, the Islamist militants who kidnapped nearly 300 schoolgirls in April. Amid worldwide pressure to find the girls, Frontline uncovers shocking videos showing arrests, torture, and summary executions of alleged Boko Haram suspects. The program contains graphic imagery and descriptions of violence which may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.

Joey Eischen turns 44 today. He made his major league debut on June 19th, 1994. He was also one of those Expos that I don't really know much about because he was traded to the Dodgers the following year. Besides the Expos winning the World Series in 1994, it was also the year that Speed came out and I really can't be tasked with remembering anything about Joey Eischen when I spent that entire year cutting out pictures of Keanu Reeves from YM magazine.Â
Anyway, the lefty became one of those guys that Nationals fan loved. Not sure why, maybe he's a stand up dude? Maybe they really dug his pitching style? Who knows? I don't follow the Nationals. Once my dad called me to say he was going to watch Stephen Strasburg's debut and I was like, "Yeah, me too". Then we both felt guilty for watching a Nats game and I probably overate some cookies and dad meditated because that's how he copes.
Soooo, here's to you Joey Eischen, former Expo, Dodger, Red, Tiger, Expo again and National. Happy birthday!
Check out other '94 Expos birthday editions and coverage here. Totally worth it, especially if you're sitting at your desk on a Wednesday afternoon bored out of your gourd.

This November marks the fifth anniversary of Climategate – when millions of emails were illegally hacked and spun as evidence that the world's leading global warming researchers were engaged in a dark conspiracy. Six inquiries exonerated the scientists. Over the coming weeks, DeSmog UK will be running a series of articles revisiting the faux scandal to explore the tragic and the farcical.... read more
Putting Conspiracy Theories to Rest: Scholars and Rogues puts 'Climategate' in Context
Putting Conspiracy Theories to Rest: Scholars and Rogues puts 'Climategate' in Context
As the stolen emails non-scandal from November retreats slowly in the rear-view mirror, it's worth a quick re-cap of why it was so exciting in the first place. Emails without context can be made to fit any story that someone wants to tell, which is one of the reasons we don't like to release email correspondence that is inherently out of context. Brian Angliss at Scholars and Rogues gives us an elegant run-through of how the stolen CRU emails are taken hopelessly out of context and cannot, in and of themselves, contribute to our understanding of climate science.
Given the demonstrated unreliability of electronic records that have been sorted or analyzed using automated tools, it's unreasonable to make firm claims either of scientific misconduct, ethical lapses, or illegality based on only the published CRU emails. It takes full inquiries and investigations where the investigators talk with the involved parties to truly understand the details and the context surrounding claims like those made against the climate scientists mentioned in the published CRU emails. To date, three such inquires have been completed, and while there may be some areas where the inquiries can be fairly criticized, the fact that the results of all three agree with each other strongly suggests that Tim Osborn's claim, rather than Geoff Sherrington's, is closer to correct in this case – "It is impossible to draw firm conclusions from the hacked documents and emails."
There is little that can dissuade someone who is convinced of a certain narrative, but fresh angles and a fresh perspective, such as Angliss offers, are an excellent part of the solution. Check out the full article for interviews with both skeptics and scientists, and a fascinating look at how a study of computer bug fixes can be used to illustrate the incompleteness of the electronic trail. See the full post at Scholars and Rogues.

Rocks have actually attracted the mankind for countless years. Exactly what was as soon as made use of to create rock techniques and also rock buildings is today utilized as a structure product for indoor and also outside building, in art work, as jewelry or as limit divider panels. Rocks allow varied yard styles, as they are offered in all fashion of dimensions, forms, colours as well as kinds and also are versatile in application. Right here we supply you with some ideas on transforming rocks right into yard eye catchers.
Stone yards are specifically appropriate for sloping ground. Right here the rocks could keep warmth throughout their complete area as well as continually dissipate the heat to plants nearby. (Stones are likewise incomparably ideal for laying along the advantage of a road or on a patio area.).
Get rid of roughly 30 centimeters dirt and also any sort of roots, to avoid weeds coming through later on. The product eliminated is blended with smashed rock as well as sand as well as re-filled to 25 centimeters. To avoid waterlogging as well as to give security for the massive rocks, include a leading layer of crushed rock. For added security versus root voles, lay poultry cable in between the smashed rock blend as well as the crushed rock.
A stone yard acquires its beauty by looking as though it has actually been created simply by coincidence. Therefore, do not deal with various type of rock, however just utilizing rocks of the very same kind. Sandstone, lava or granite are as an example extremely appropriate for plants which do not like lime. Sedimentary rock and also travertine, on the other hand, harmonise well with plants which such as lime. Now the rocks can be installed with their bigger surface areas encountering downwards. Attempt to replicate Nature. This indicates that bigger rocks need to be placed lesser down the incline, pushing leading of each other as well as penetrated between little rocks. Complete any type of hollows in between the rocks with a drain layer of crushed rock or sand, therefore avoiding waterlogging and also taking care of the rocks in position.
Aside from that, there isn't really a great deal to note when making use of rocks. Just utilize your creativity as well as organize the plants correctly!
Plants which appreciate completely dry as well as bright disorders are especially ideal. These consist of thyme, second hand, bellflower and also edelweiss, yet likewise trees such as box as well as hill pines. Usage low-growing plants, or else the yard could show up jammed. The plants are grown at the ideal factors.
Ask at your yard centre concerning appropriate plants and also their needs.
Throughout the very first year, you will certainly need to water the plants frequently, as they have yet to expand considerable roots. From the 2nd year onwards, the plants call for virtually no water, other than throughout intense durations of heat.
As a result of your appropriate yard prep work, minimal weeds will certainly show up.
