What should I be taking for chronic diverticulitis?
- Q: I was diagnosed with diverticulitis in my early 40s and watch my diet, drink plenty of water, get as much exercise as possible, but I have a bad back. I don't eat dairy, nuts or too much green leafy veggies as they set off flareups. I take fiber daily and still suffer. I have colonoscopies every two years. I have to take a stool softener, have poor results, and have to usually resort to a laxative at least 3 times a week. I've been checked for Crohn's disease, and this was negative. I've been referred to a surgeon and advised not to have surgery at this time. Recently, I went to a health food store due to having a flareup and was advised to start taking olive leaf, vitamin K, and Wobenzym N for Healthy Inflammation. I also take a liquid probiotic. I'm tired of seeing gastroenterologists and being given antibiotics of Cipro and Flagyl for nausea and Vicodin for pain. What should I be taking for chronic diverticulitis?
- A: Your question regards what should you do for chronic diverticulitis. Everyday Health makes the following recommendations for prevention of diverticulitis. Eat plenty of fiber. The American Dietetic Association recommends consuming 20 to 35 grams of fiber daily. Ideally this fiber should be obtained by grains, fruits, and vegetables. With this additional fiber, make sure you are drinking an adequate amount of water. Exercise and other forms of physical activity can lower the risk of diverticulitis. In the past physicians have often limited a patient's intake of certain foods such as popcorn, nuts and food that have seeds. However, the restriction of these items have never been proven to prevent the condition. The only possible treatment is to increase the fiber in the diet. Other than that, medication and surgeries are used to treat the diverticulitis. It sounds that you have been following all the general recommendations for diverticulitis. I would recommend calculating how much fiber you are ingesting. According to the Mayo Clinic's Web site, obesity is a risk factor for developing diverticulitis. Therefore, if you are obese or overweight, you may want to try to lose that extra weight. The Mayo Clinic also recommends that you pass stool whenever you have the urge. If you hold onto the stool, it can become harder and put more pressure on the colon and require more force to excrete. Other than that I would recommend consulting with your health care provider and specialists regarding any advice they may have for you.

Rick Priestley continues his interview on game design and his his new game – Beyond The Gates of Antares (GoA).
In Part One Rick Priestley talked about his new Kickstarter to support his new game – Beyond The Gates of Antares (GoA). This time he talks about games, designers and games design.
Interview by Steve
How did you first get started with formal tabletop game design?
'Formal' design - now there's a thing! Well I've always designed games as long as I can remember, and wargames with models since I first discovered what those were when I was 11 or 12, whilst my first published game was Reaper (Fantasy Battles) when I would be 18 I think. So quite how I got started is lost in the mists of time. Perhaps it's genetic!
Can you talk a little about the challenges and differences in designing for venerable existing game franchises versus fresh new systems?
Yes I don't think of supplements and new editions as 'games design' at all really - more a question of 'development'. Games develop naturally within the playing community over time, and so long as you understand the basic design parameters of the original work it doesn't take a great deal to either update a game or produce a supplement. Designing something genuinely new... that's another matter... involving a great deal of banging your head against the wall and sleep-shattered nights and fingers worn to the bones typing... always typing... typing...that is your essential difference.
Do you first approach a game system from the rules point of view, the miniatures, or something else altogether?
It can be any of those to be honest and there is no method that works better than another - sometimes it's liberating to have a free hand from the start, but often it's the models or background that inspire one approach over another.
What are your leading design mantras when approaching a project?
Games are not about what you put in but what you leave out.
What are the leading pitfalls you see with new fledgling designers - and following up what issues did you personally have the hardest time working through when you first started designing?
That's relatively easy to answer because all, all, all inexperienced designers overcomplicate things - too many layers of mechanic, too many modifiers, too much of most things, and all you do is confuse the design. One idea expressed strongly is enough. That's the most important lesson to learn really - keep things clean.
What is the most beautiful game-mechanic you have put into a system that you are most proud of?
Gosh I don't know - that's an odd one - that's like asking a poet what is his favourite rhyme! Although it wasn't mine, I really do like the Bolt Action order dice mechanic - that is a sweet combination of clarity, function and utility - not me though - Alessio Cavatore!
What is the most challenging ruleset or army book you have ever worked on and why?
They're all challenging in their way - in the early days I did get handed a few 'rescue projects' that I had to sort out and re-do. That's a bit like unpicking a woollen jumper and having to reknit it all over - not much fun and the result is never as good as if you'd done it all from scratch. Realm of Chaos The Lost and the Damned was one of those... though I think the end result was pretty good all things considering.
What is your favourite miniatures game (or edition) judged solely by the ruleset - why?
Oh I don't know - you try not to have favourites. Whatever you are playing at the time really. For a long while I would have said Warmaster - but since leaving GW I've had to develop other systems and I haven't had much time to play. More recently Black Powder and Bolt Action perhaps. I don't really play games I haven't designed much - I was impressed by Wings of War when that came out - still have quite a bit of kit for that!
What famous rulesets do you look to for inspiration?
I don't! I find inspiration in talking to other games designers - guys like Jervis Johnson have a head full of ideas and can turn your thought about a game round in a few minutes!
How does a designer know when a system is done?
Because you design to a deadline! Well I won't claim to always hit deadlines - but I'd say I'm better than most, having been tied to GW's ferocious deadlines for most of my career. If you don't have a deadline you will never finish.
It is often said that there is no "correct" rule design for a particular design challenge. That an infinite number of rule mechanics can be produced that lie along the dueling spectrums of realistic-abstract, and faster-to-slower to resolve, and detailed-to-macro in scope. Can you give us a sense of where you like to design within that framework and why?
I guess that's more or less true otherwise they'd be one perfect rules set and we could all give up the quest! But I can design anywhere within those parameters really - those are all different types of game - a good designer should be able to do all of that really. For various reasons I've tended to end up designing games for 'armies' - which suggests an intermediate level for all those things - but I've written RPGs too which are at the detailed, slow detailed end of affairs.
Following up, how does one define "fun" as a designer, and how would you recognize or test for it in early drafts of rules?
Bryan Ansell - who owned Citadel when I joined GW in the early 80's - forbade us ever to mention the word fun in connection with games - they could be challenging, enthralling, captivating, and entertaining even... but never fun. Fun was reserved for circus clowns and practical jokes involving whoopee cushions. I merely pass on this piece of wisdom.
It is a truism that players will always complain about any single ruleset, due to its size and complexity. How does a designer draw the line between "background noise" grousing, versus the possibility that something is truly amiss based on player feedback?
Well there's another thing to remember - even if there is a glitch in a set of rules you can't always do anything about it. So, whilst I'm always open to comment, I don't worry too much about what I can't do anything about. Life is too short. A lot of that background noise comes from folks who just don't like your game for whatever reason. There is no point in listening to them. I design games for people who like my games and primarily for me! If you start messing with a game to please the folks who don't like it anyway you get into a very, very sticky place that in the end will make everyone unhappy (and also sticky).
What are the core responsibilities a player should bring to the table, without which there can be no effective game-design?
Beer. That was easy:)
OK there is something other than beer - and that is simply a willingness to treat all ideas and all suggestions in a cold, dispassionate way, regardless of whose ideas and suggestions they are. Some people do find ideas mesmerising and can't easily think beyond them once they have lodged inside their heads. You have to be cold. Jervis Johnson always says, 'find the thing you like best... the clever mechanic.. the bit of colourful writing.. and throw it out immediately! Murder your darlings! Those are the things that will trip you up if you let them!'.
Tabletop games evolve alongside societies like all other endeavors. Is there a single rule-mechanic or concept in any major tabletop wargame that you think was truly revolutionary, bring the industry as a whole forward? What was it and why?
I don't know really - most ideas cycle round accordng to the whims of fashion - it's individual unit activation at the moment for various reasons. I've read that the Wargames Research Group reaction test was one such eureka moment - probably the first morale system that wasn't just a single dice roll to run.
Finally, a thought experiment for the readers to get inside the head of a wargame designer. Lets take one of the most simple design concepts seen in almost any game system - a machine attempting to traverse an area of dense terrain. Can you give us 3 quick mental notes of what a rule mechanic that is "too hot, too cold", and "just right" might look like.
Half speed - easy, safe balance, no interaction dissonance - predictable, bland, no player interaction - overall the best way.
Roll random distance - easy to resolve, introduces player interaction, little if any dissonance - fixed to dice, luck prone, oppressive if table all dense, and harder to balance than above.
Test to traverse - allows for variation in terrain, machine ability and spread of results - requires test with possible modifiers (possibly complex), interaction dissonance likely, could be slow to resolve, required extensive testing of specific values for balance.

We'd like to thank Mr. Priestley for taking the time to talk with the BoLS community. Have at it, and feel free to compare and contrast Rick's and Alessio Cavatore's design questionaire here and here for even more fun!

The Vampire Diaries Caption Contest 138by Matt Richenthal at . Comments

Is Nursing A Profession?
- 0Mar 8, '01 by DplearAccording to Catalano (Nursing NOW! 2nd edition) there are certain
> characteristics that are important and that are common among jobs that are
> considered to be true professions. They are as follows:
> A) High intellectual level
One would hope so, but not necessarily true always
> B) High level of individual responsibility and accountability
> C) Specialized body of knowledge
> D) Knowledge that can be learned in institutions of higher education
Yes to these three
E) Public service & altruistic activity
F) Public service valued over financial gain
Not always. But that's true of many other professionals like docs,
lawyers, dentists, etc. The percentage of those who are public-service
oriented is probably small.
> G) Relatively high degree of autonomy and independence of practice
True in some settings and specialties, but not in others

We have such an organization, but many nurses do not participate.

> practice
> J) Strong professional identity and commitment to the development of the
> profession
> K) demonstration of professional competency and possession of a legally
> recognized license.
Yes to those three
Let's face it. To some people, nursing's a job. For some it's a
vocation, a calling. We all do subscribe to a code of ethics and the idea of
professional competency and need a license to practice. And we are all
expected to behave in a "professional" manner. Sometimes I think nursing
educators get too caught up in the attempt to define nursing as a "true
profession". We have all these Theories of Nursing in an attempt to prove
it, although I've never heard of a Theory of Doctoring or Dentistry, and they
don't seem to have any problem calling themselves a profession. Nor do they
worry about it. They do the same as nursing--draw upon the biological and
social sciences to form a body of useful knowledge, and adapt it to the work.
Sherwin Nuland, in the 2/19 issue of The New Republic, takes
nursing ed to task in a review of Sally Satel's book, "PC, MD" She quotes
from an article by Jean Watson in Nursing Science Quarterly. "In summary, as
nursing locates itself within the postmodern complexity, with its shadow and
light side, and as nursing seeks a dwelling place which is open-ended,
ambiguous, dynamically constructed, incessantly questioned, endlessly
self-revising, never set, but floating and moving with the river of life, will
nurses be part.......yadayadayada" God help us! Dr. Watson may believe
that this type of writing constitutes professionalism. I think it makes us a

political correctness in medicine, go to
http://www.thenewrepublic.com and hit the search
button for "Indoctrinology" The stuff about nursing is in section III of the
review, dealing with "Nursing Grudges"
I copied this off a newsgroup, and thought it was quite interesting.....
- 0Mar 9, '01 by Charles S. Smith, RN, MSMaybe the question ought to read: What do we want the profession to look like in the very near future? Do we want to hang on to old baggage or do we truly want to create the profession that we all deserve to embrace?
- 0Mar 9, '01 by susanmaryAs Dylan perfectly states "the times they are 'a changing." Clearly, nurses must recreate our roles to change with the times. I'm not waiting for others to make change. I've contacted "head honchos" in the hospital, presented them with specific data, and have been successful in getting increased tuition reimbursement for nurses, extended orientation for new nurses. I decided to be part of the solution. Not every suggestion was immplemented, but I did not sit idly by.
On a much grander scale, I truly believe that nurse's time should be billable. OT/PT, etc. bill their time -- why is RN time not billable? (Imagine the AMA would have a bird -- as they would perceive we would be infringing on their $$$.) This is something that I would like to see in the near future.

Updated: December 11, 2013 10:56AM
Help is on the way for the defense, but it's not coming fast enough.
Lance Briggs' fractured left shoulder was evaluated by team doctors Tuesday, but he wasn't cleared to play, the linebacker told the Sun-Times.
"I have to be able to defend myself on the football field," he said. "If I can't do that, then they won't clear me."
Briggs wouldn't rule out playing Sunday in Cleveland, but he said his next evaluation will come in "another couple days," which makes his participation seem unlikely. He hopes to return before the end of the year, at least.
"The thing about it is, I understand why I haven't been cleared," said Briggs, who was promoting Best Buy's Ultimate Gamer Showdown video game tournament in Old Town. "Being a linebacker on the field, it's violent. You have to tackle. You have to take on a lot of people. If at any point you deal with the shoulder, which you use all the time, you risk setting yourself back."
Losing Briggs on Oct. 20 against the Redskins has proven to be far more damaging than the loss of Jay Cutler.
In the six games without Briggs — who was in a sling for 3 ½ weeks and has been rehabbing since —the Bears have allowed an astounding 1,220 rushing yards on 193 carries.
That pace, over 16 games, would make the Bears the worst rushing defense of all time.
(You can look it up: the 1978 Buffalo Bills allowed 3,228 yards; the Bears' last six games, stretched over 16, would be 3,253.)
"You gotta tackle," Briggs said. "You gotta get guys down. When your opportunity comes, you have to make plays."
The Bears are last in the league allowed 157 rushing yards per game and 5.2 yards per carry.
On Monday night, the Cowboys totaled 198 rushing yards (7.1 yards per carry).
"The way I see it is, they ran for too much," linebacker Jon Bostic said. "They got too many yards and stuff that at certain times they shouldn't have — or we weren't making the plays when we were there. We've got to get better.''
"The 45 points, you love to see that," said Briggs of the Dallas win. "The 27 points, not so much."
He called being out "a reality check," and said he's learned to love, and hate, coaching.
"To be able to teach and see the benefits of a player that's getting your coaching, getting your teaching, is rewarding," he said. "It's nice to see guys out there making plays.
"But on the flip side, then, when they're not making plays, you start kicking yourself. 'What could I have done to help them play better?' "
The linebackers earned a -11.5 grade against the run Monday, according to Pro Football Focus. Rookie Khaseem Greene, Briggs' replacement, played probably his worst game.
"We're seeing the results some plays," Bostic said. "But not every play. It's being consistent every play."
The Cowboys converted 5 of 10 third downs.
"We talk about our weakness, just amongst ourselves, is getting off the field on third down," defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff said. "I thought we did a better job of that."
Bostic said "you're always going to be frustrated" after such a showing.
"It's got to be every time," he said. "We can't be [good on] first and second down and then we're not doing what we need to do on third down."
Briggs wants to be on the field.
"For us, man, our playoffs have already begun," he said. "We just need to win and win and win."
He insisted that the Bears can "win, with or without me."
The former is more likely, but he's got to come back first.
"I'm feeling good," he said. "It's not up to me; it's up to the doctors."

German Shepherd Coat Patterns
Believe it or not, there are several German Shepherd coat patterns. More often than not most people envision the traditional black and tan, saddle back pattern dog whenever they picture the German Shepherd dog in their mind or try to describe this dog breed to someone else.
It is true, however, that the GSD does come in several colors and coat patterns. These include the following patterns: Sable, Saddle Back (and Blanket Back), Bi-Color and Solid colored.
"No good dog is a bad color" -- Max von Stephanitz (breed founder of the German Shepherd Dog)
Concerning coat colors the SV specifically states:
"The color of the GSD is in itself not important and has no effect on the character of the dog or on its fitness for work and should be a secondary consideration for that reason. The final color of a young dog can only be ascertained when the outer coat has developed."
Words can't always accurately explain what one picture can because sometimes terms can really confuse the issue. Because of that we'll do our best to provide photo examples of each of the German Shepherd coat patterns to make it easier for you to visualize. So here we go ...
German Shepherd Saddle Back pattern -
Many factors such as health and temperament should always be much more important than the search for a specific coat color. Coat color should always be below structure, gait, type, and character and should never take precedence over the working or companionship abilities of the dog itself.
The color of the German Shepherd is one of the less important factors to consider whenever choosing a GSD puppy. As long as the colors are strong and well pigmented what does it really matter anyway since the dog will change in color as it matures unless it is a solid colored dog anyhow? German Shepherd coat patterns are all beautiful - remember, after all there is much more to the dog than coat color alone.

They offer good vacation time and have a reasonable HR department. When there is a problem they try to fix it quickly, but it doesn't always work.Cons
HR might be reasonable but they don't always do their job. The management team isn't very well trained and is childish when dealing with work related problems. They need to create a training model to better equip managers with the tools for success.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Learn the definition of morals and ethics and learn to respect those that work under you. You are not doing them any favor by allowing them to work for you. It is a symbiotic relationship that both parties benefit from. Until you fix this "I'm lending you a hand" attitude, your employees will continue to quit and cost you money.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Caldwell v. Compass Entertainment Group LLC et al
Filing 35
ORDER that 12 Motion to Dismiss, or in the alternative, Quash Service is GRANTED to the extent that service of process executed on April 12, 2012 is QUASHED. FURTHER ORDERED that counsel for Defendant file notice within ten days of the entry of this order whether he is authorized to accept service of process on behalf of Defendant Kranzdorf. Signed by Judge Kent J. Dawson on 10/18/12. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - MMM)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 8 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 9 10 EVERT CALDWELL, 11 Plaintiff, 12 v. 13 Case No. 2:12-CV-00458-KJD-GWF COMPASS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, LLC, et al., ORDER 14 Defendants. 15 16 Presently before the Court is Defendant Jeffrey P. Kranzdorf's Motion to Dismiss, or in the 17 alternative, Quash Service (#12). Plaintiff filed a response in opposition (#18) to which Defendant 18 Kranzdorf replied (#19). 19 Defendant Kranzdorf moves the Court to dismiss the action or quash service of process for 20 failure to serve the summons and complaint in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 21 ("Rule") 4(e). On April 23, 2012, Plaintiff filed Summons Returned Executed (#10) asserting that 22 the process server hired by Plaintiff had personally served Plaintiff at his residence on April 12, 23 2012. Kranzdorf, by affidavit, denies that he was personally served the summons and complaint, but 24 instead found it on the porch of his California residence. In response, Plaintiff filed the affidavit of 25 26 1 the process server in which he admits that he left the summons and complaint upon the porch, but 2 only after Kranzdorf refused to answer the door. 3 Since Plaintiff admits that service of process was not conducted in accordance with Rule 4, 4 the Court grants Defendant's motion to quash service of process. Plaintiff should avail himself of 5 the procedures found in Rule 4(d) for requesting a waiver of service of process. If Kranzdorf fails to 6 waive service, the cost of later serving the summons and complaint must be imposed on Defendant 7 by the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2)(A). Furthermore, Plaintiff will be able to collect the 8 reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, of any motion required to collect those service 9 expenses. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2)(B). Further, counsel for Defendant Kranzdorf is ordered to 10 file notice of whether he is authorized to accept service on behalf of Defendant Kranzdorf within 11 (10) days of the entry of this order. 12 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Jeffrey P. Kranzdorf's Motion to 13 Dismiss, or in the alternative, Quash Service (#12) is GRANTED to the extent that service of 14 process executed on April 12, 2012 is QUASHED; 15 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that counsel for Defendant file notice within ten (10) days of 16 the entry of this order whether he is authorized to accept service of process on behalf of Defendant 17 Kranzdorf. 18 DATED this 18th day of October 2012. 19 20 21 22 _____________________________ Kent J.

AARC's Virtual Lobby Week Paves the Way
February 24, 2011
Take Action During Virtual Lobby Week
You can help your PACT representatives make a difference in Washington DC by participating in Virtual Lobby Week on Feb. 25–March 8.
By sending your emails, letters, phone calls, and faxes to your members of Congress that week, you will pave the way for your PACT reps in their face-to-face visits on Capitol Hill.
The annual AARC Capitol Hill Lobby Day is set for March 8. For over 10 years, the respiratory therapists who are your state's Political Advocacy Contact Team (PACT) representatives come to Washington D.C. to directly lobby members of Congress for support of the respiratory therapy legislative agenda. When those Congressional representatives have heard from their constituents back home (that's you!), the message that the PACT members bring is more likely to be heard.
We are looking for respiratory therapists, pulmonary patients, and all supporters of the profession to communicate with their Senators and Representative. When PACT arrives on Capitol Hill their in-person meetings will be significantly strengthened.
The message you will be sending is simply: Support the Medicare Respiratory Therapy Initiative Legislation.
The AARC Government Affairs Office held a successful Virtual Lobby Day last August. Seeing the outpouring of support at that time led them to form plans for this week-long blitz leading up to the Capitol Hill visits.
AARC has a website called AARC Capitol Connection, which allows you to quickly find and send emails to your members of Congress. Simply go to the Virtual Lobby Week site and follow the instructions.

The definitive Dark Souls trailer is fan-made
The story of Dark Souls can be glossed over if you aren't actively seeking it out. And even then, there's a lot of effort required on the part of players -- a lot of piecing together of seemingly disparate in-game text snippets. If you've ever searched YouTube hoping to find answers, you might have encountered VaatiVidya's videos, which cover the game's characters in great detail.
A number of you sent in this new video, "Prepare to Cry: Dark Souls." It's described as a short film but you can also think of it almost as a trailer for the game; the trailer that should have been. Another impressive piece of work from a community that continues to impress. Just when you think you can't like Dark Souls any more, we're reminded of its greatness again.
[Thanks, Esmail and Ron]

Professional Guide to Signs and Symptoms
5th Edition
© 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Typically a symptom of cardiopulmonary dysfunction, dyspnea is the sensation of difficult or uncomfortable breathing. It's usually described as shortness of breath. Its severity varies greatly and is usually
unrelated to the severity of the underlying cause. Dyspnea may arise suddenly or slowly and may subside rapidly or persist for years.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS: Dyspnea: Causes and associated findings
View PDF
Most people normally experience dyspnea when they exert themselves, and its severity depends on their physical condition. In a healthy person, dyspnea is quickly relieved by rest. Pathologic causes of dyspnea include pulmonary, cardiac, neuromuscular, and allergic disorders. It may also be caused by anxiety. (See
Dyspnea: Causes and associated findings
If a patient complains of shortness of breath, quickly look for signs of respiratory distress, such as tachypnea, cyanosis, restlessness, and accessory muscle use. Prepare to administer oxygen by nasal cannula, mask, or endotracheal tube. Ensure patent I.V. access, and begin cardiac monitoring and oxygen saturation monitoring to detect arrhythmias and low oxygen saturation, respectively. Expect to insert a chest tube for severe pneumothorax and to administer continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
If the patient can answer questions without increasing his distress, take a complete history. (See
Differential diagnosis: Dyspnea
, pages 276 and 277.) Ask if the shortness of breath began suddenly or gradually. Is it constant or intermittent? Does it occur during activity or while at rest? If the patient has had dyspneic attacks before, ask if they're increasing in severity. Can he identify what aggravates or alleviates these attacks? Does he have a productive or nonproductive cough or chest pain? Ask about recent trauma, and note a history of upper respiratory tract infection, deep vein phlebitis, or other disorders. Ask the patient if he smokes or is exposed to toxic fumes or irritants on the job. Find out if he also has orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or progressive fatigue.
Because dyspnea is subjective and is exacerbated by anxiety, patients from cultures that are highly
emotional may complain of shortness of breath sooner than those who are more stoic about symptoms of illness.
During the physical examination, look for signs of chronic dyspnea such as accessory muscle hypertrophy (especially in the shoulders and neck). Also look for pursed-lip exhalation, clubbing, peripheral edema, barrel chest, diaphoresis, and jugular vein distention.
Check blood pressure and auscultate the lungs for crackles, abnormal heart sounds or rhythms, egophony, bronchophony, and whispered pectoriloquy. Finally, palpate the abdomen for hepatomegaly, and assess the patient for edema.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
. This life-threatening form of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema usually produces acute dyspnea as the first complaint. As respiratory distress progresses, the patient develops restlessness, anxiety, decreased mental acuity, tachycardia, and crackles and rhonchi in both lung fields. Other findings include cyanosis, tachypnea, motor dysfunction, and intercostal and suprasternal retractions. Severe ARDS can produce signs of shock, such as hypotension and cool, clammy skin.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
. Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, this disorder causes slow onset of dyspnea that worsens with time. Other features include dysphagia, dysarthria, muscle weakness and atrophy, fasciculations, shallow respirations, tachypnea, and emotional lability.
. Dyspnea usually develops gradually in anemia, which commonly causes fatigue, weakness, and syncope; severe anemia may also cause tachycardia, tachypnea, restlessness, anxiety, and thirst.
Anthrax, inhalation
. Anthrax is an acute infectious disease that's caused by the gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium
Bacillus anthracis
, Although the disease most commonly occurs in wild and domestic grazing animals, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, the spores can live in the soil for many years. The disease can occur in humans exposed to infected animals, tissue from infected animals, or biological agents. Most natural cases occur in agricultural regions worldwide. Anthrax may occur in cutaneous, inhalation, or GI forms.
Inhalation anthrax is caused by inhalation of aerosolized spores. The disease generally occurs in two stages with a period of recovery after the initial signs and symptoms. Dyspnea is a symptom of the second stage of this disorder along with fever, stridor and hypotension; the patient usually dies within 24 hours. Initial signs and symptoms are flulike and include fever, chills, weakness, cough, and chest pain.
Aspiration of a foreign body
. Acute dyspnea marks this life-threatening condition, along with paroxysmal intercostal, suprasternal, and substernal retractions. The patient may also display accessory muscle use, inspiratory stridor, tachypnea, decreased or absent breath sounds, asymmetrical chest expansion, anxiety, cyanosis, diaphoresis, and hypotension.
Differential diagnosis: Dyspnea
Figure. No caption available.
. Acute dyspneic attacks occur in this chronic disorder along with audible wheezing, a dry cough, accessory muscle use, nasal flaring, intercostal and supraclavicular retractions, tachypnea, tachycardia, diaphoresis, prolonged expiration, flushing or cyanosis, and apprehension. Medications that block beta receptors can exacerbate asthma attacks.
Avian influenza
. These potentially life-threatening viruses are spread to humans through contact with infected poultry or surfaces contaminated with infected bird excretions. Within 1 to 5 days of exposure to avian influenza, the patient typically develops flulike symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, cough, and muscle aches. Those with severe forms of the virus may develop dyspnea caused by acute respiratory distress or pneumonia. To date, the most virulent strain of this virus has not yet surfaced in humans in the United States, but a recent outbreak in Asian countries has had a mortality rate of about 50% among infected humans.
Blast lung injury
. The result of a forceful percussive wave following an explosive detonation, blast lung injury is commonly characterized by dyspnea and hypoxia. Worldwide terrorist activity has recently increased the incidence of this condition, which may also cause cyanosis, chest pain, wheezing, and hemopytsis. Chest X-ray, the primary diagnostic tool, reveals a characteristic "butterfly" pattern. Many of these patients suffer concomitant injuries and require complex management, usually in an intensive care setting.
Cardiac arrhythmias
. Acute or gradual dyspnea can result from decreased cardiac output in a patient with arrhythmias. The pulse rate may be rapid, slow, or irregular, with frequent premature or escape beats. Alternating pulse may be present. Other symptoms include palpitations, chest pain, diaphoresis, light-headedness, weakness, and vertigo.
Cor pulmonale
. Chronic dyspnea begins gradually with exertion and progressively worsens until it occurs even at rest. Most patients with cor pulmonale have an underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease. Other findings may include a chronic productive cough, wheezing, tachypnea, jugular vein distention, dependent edema, hepatomegaly, increasing fatigue, weakness, and light-headedness.
. This chronic disorder gradually causes progressive exertional dyspnea as well as barrel chest, accessory muscle hypertrophy, diminished breath sounds, anorexia, weight loss, malaise, peripheral cyanosis, tachypnea, pursed-lip breathing, prolonged expiration and, possibly, a chronic productive cough. Clubbing is a late sign. The patient may have a history of smoking, an alpha
-antitrypsin deficiency, or exposure to an occupational irritant.
Flail chest
. In this condition, dyspnea results suddenly from multiple rib fractures and is accompanied by paradoxical chest movement, severe chest pain, hypotension, tachypnea, tachycardia, and cyanosis. Bruising and decreased or absent breath sounds occur over the affected side.
Guillain-Barré syndrome
. This syndrome, which usually follows a fever and upper respiratory tract infection, causes slowly worsening dyspnea along with fatigue, ascending muscle weakness and, eventually, paralysis.
Heart failure
. Dyspnea usually develops gradually in patients with heart failure. Chronic paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, palpitations, ventricular gallop, fatigue, dependent peripheral edema, hepatomegaly, dry cough, weight gain, and loss of mental acuity may occur. With acute onset, heart failure may produce jugular vein distention, bibasilar crackles, oliguria, and hypotension.
Interstitial fibrosis
. Besides dyspnea, this disorder causes chest pain, a dry cough, crackles, weight loss and, possibly, cyanosis and pleural friction rub.
Lung cancer
. Dyspnea develops slowly and worsens progressively in late-stage lung cancer. Other findings include fever, hemoptysis, a productive cough, wheezing, clubbing, chest pain, and pleural friction rub.
. Dyspnea is one of the less common symptoms of this rare viral disease. Infected individuals may also experience fever, muscle aches, sore throat, chills, and lymphadenopathy. A papular rash appears 1 to 3 days after the fever begins. The virus is similar to smallpox; however, the symptoms are milder and the disease is rarely fatal in developed countries.
Myasthenia gravis
. This neuromuscular disorder causes bouts of dyspnea as the respiratory muscles weaken. In myasthenic crisis, acute respiratory distress may occur, with shallow respirations and tachypnea.
Myocardial infarction
. Sudden dyspnea occurs with crushing substernal chest pain that may radiate to the back, neck, jaw, and arms. Other signs and symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, vertigo, hypertension or hypotension, tachycardia, anxiety, and pale, cool, clammy skin.
. Caused by
Yersinia pestis
, plague is one of the most virulent and, if untreated, most lethal bacterial infections known. Clinical forms include bubonic (the most common), septicemic, and pneumonic plagues. The pneumonic form can be contracted by inhaling respiratory droplets from an infected person or inhaling the organism that has been dispersed in the air through biological warfare. Among the symptoms of the pneumonic form are dyspnea, a productive cough, chest pain, tachypnea, hemoptysis, increasing respiratory distress, and cardiopulmonary insufficiency.
Pleural effusion
. Dyspnea develops slowly and worsens progressively in this disorder. Initial findings include a pleural friction rub accompanied by pleuritic pain that worsens with coughing or deep breathing. Other findings include a dry cough; dullness on percussion; egophony, bronchophony, and whispered pectoriloquy; tachycardia; tachypnea; weight loss; and decreased breath sounds, chest motion, and tactile fremitus. Fever may occur if infection is present.
. Dyspnea occurs suddenly in pneumonia and is usually accompanied by fever, shaking chills, pleuritic chest pain that worsens with deep inspiration, and a productive cough. Fatigue, headache, myalgia, anorexia, abdominal pain, crackles, rhonchi, tachycardia, tachypnea, cyanosis, decreased breath sounds, and diaphoresis may also occur.
. This life-threatening disorder causes acute dyspnea unrelated to the severity of pain. Sudden, stabbing chest pain may radiate to the arms, face, back, or abdomen. Other signs and symptoms include anxiety, restlessness, dry cough, cyanosis, decreased vocal fremitus, tachypnea, tympany, decreased or absent breath sounds on the affected side, asymmetrical chest expansion, splinting, and accessory muscle use. In patients with tension pneumothorax, tracheal deviation occurs in addition to these typical findings. Decreased blood pressure and tachycardia may also occur.
Poliomyelitis (bulbar)
. Dyspnea develops gradually in this disorder and worsens progressively. Additional signs and symptoms include fever, facial weakness, dysphasia, hypoactive deep tendon reflexes, decreased mental acuity, dysphagia, nasal regurgitation, and hypopnea.
Pulmonary edema
. Commonly preceded by signs of heart failure, such as jugular vein distention and orthopnea, this life-threatening disorder causes acute dyspnea. Other features include tachycardia, tachypnea, crackles in both lung fields, a ventricular gallop (third heart sound [S
]), oliguria, thready pulse, hypotension, diaphoresis, cyanosis, and marked anxiety. The patient's cough may be dry or may produce copious amounts of pink, frothy sputum.
Pulmonary embolism
. This life-threatening disorder is characterized by acute dyspnea that's usually accompanied by sudden pleuritic chest pain. Related findings include tachycardia, low-grade fever, tachypnea, a nonproductive cough or a productive cough with blood-tinged sputum, pleural friction rub, crackles, diffuse wheezing, dullness on percussion, decreased
breath sounds, diaphoresis, restlessness, and acute anxiety. A massive embolism may cause signs of shock, such as hypotension and cool, clammy skin.
. This potentially fatal disorder gradually causes dyspnea along with chills and sudden fever. As dyspnea worsens, it may be accompanied by tachycardia, tachypnea, restlessness, anxiety, decreased mental acuity, and warm, flushed, dry skin. Late findings include hypotension; oliguria; cool, clammy skin; and rapid, thready pulse.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
. SARS is an acute infectious disease of unknown etiology; however, a novel coronavirus has been implicated as a possible cause. Although most cases have been reported in Asia (China, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand), cases have cropped up in Europe and North America. After an incubation period of 2 to 7 days, the illness generally begins with a fever (usually greater than 100.4° F [38° C]). Other symptoms include headache, malaise, a nonproductive cough, and dyspnea. The severity of the illness is highly variable, ranging from mild illness to pneumonia and, in some cases, progressing to respiratory failure and death.
. Dyspnea arises suddenly and worsens progressively in this life-threatening disorder. Related findings include severe hypotension, tachypnea, tachycardia, decreased peripheral pulses, decreased mental acuity, restlessness, anxiety, and cool, clammy skin,
. Dyspnea commonly occurs with chest pain, crackles, and a productive cough. Other findings are night sweats, fever, anorexia and weight loss, vague dyspepsia, palpitations on mild exertion, and dullness on percussion.
. Also known as "rabbit fever," this infectious disease causes dyspnea along with fever, chills, headache, generalized myalgia, a nonproductive cough, pleuritic chest pain, and empyema.
Inhalation injury
. Dyspnea may develop suddenly or over several hours after inhalation of chemicals or hot gases. Increasing hoarseness, a persistent cough, sooty or bloody sputum, and oropharyngeal edema may also be present. The patient may also exhibit thermal burns, singed nasal hairs, and orofacial burns as well as crackles, rhonchi, wheezing, and signs of respiratory distress.
Monitor the dyspneic patient closely. Be as calm and reassuring as possible to reduce his anxiety, and help him into a comfortable position—usually high Fowler's or a forward-leaning position. Support him with pillows, loosen his clothing, and administer oxygen if appropriate.
Prepare the patient for diagnostic studies, such as arterial blood gas analysis, chest X-rays, and pulmonary function tests. Administer a bronchodilator, an antiarrhythmic, a diuretic, and an analgesic, as needed, to dilate bronchioles, correct cardiac arrhythmias, promote fluid excretion, and relieve pain, respectively.
Normally, a child's respirations are abdominal in infancy and gradually change to costal by age 7. Suspect dyspnea in an infant who breathes costally, in an older child who breathes abdominally, or in any child who uses his neck or shoulder muscles to help him breathe.
Both acute epiglottiditis and laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) can cause severe dyspnea in a child and may even lead to respiratory or cardiovascular collapse. Expect to administer oxygen, using a hood or cool mist tent.
Older patients with dyspnea related to chronic illness may not be aware initially of a significant change in their breathing pattern.
Tell the patient that oxygen therapy isn't necessarily indicated for dyspnea. Encourage a patient with chronic dyspnea to pace his daily activities.

American investor and financial commentator, Jim Rogers in an interview to ET Now said that the currency crisis is going to get worse in the next 1-2 years. He said emerging markets can fall in short term and did not see bailout as good option for Greece. Rogers' prefered agricultural commodities over others. (Watch)
You have been warning us for quite sometime now about our currency crisis. Is that what is finally upon us?
The currency crisis has been going on for a while. It did not start this week. It has been happening for a while. It started with, maybe depending on how you want to look at it, with Iceland or Latvia or many other countries who have been having problems, and the currency crisis is continuing and is going to get worse. This is not the end. Over the next year or more, we are going to see more. So prepare yourself. (Watch)
I was reading that you are long on euros. Is that the case?
I have been long on the euros and I am long some euros, I wish I weren't. I have been going down but I am long some euros. I am long more US dollars for what that is worth but euros are not helping me that these days.
What is your sense? Do you think that the Eurozone is going to shrink because of what we are witnessing in Portugal, Greece and Spain?
Eventually the euro unfortunately is going to break up I am afraid because it keeps weakening itself from within. If they would let Greece go bankrupt, for instance, it would strengthen the euro, it would strengthen the Eurozone because then people would know you have to maintain a sound economy, you have to maintain a sound currency and everybody would jump in and buy the euro including I would buy more if that would be case. Weakening from within and continuing to lend money and paper over problems is not a solution for a sound currency. I do own the euro, do not get me wrong but I do not think this is the proper approach.
We are also seeing the impact of the crisis on most commodity markets. Do you think that this is just temporary and commodity is still the place for investors to be?
Yes, gold is making all time highs in some currencies. So some currencies are doing well during this period of time. But to your bigger question, if the world economy gets better then obviously commodities are going to do better because the world would use more and there are shortages developing. But let's assume the worst, let's assume the world economies does not get better, the things continue to get there, then I would rather be in commodities in most things because governments are going to print even more money and whenever you have had printed money throughout history, it has led to higher prices for real goods whether it is silver or natural gas whatever it happens to be. So I would rather own commodities than most things in the world that we have in the next two or three years.
I am looking at the Rogers International Commodities Index and I see that for this year rubber has done exceptionally well and so has lumber. What kind of commodities do you like at the moment taking a longer term view?
I prefer agriculture just because agriculture has not moved up as much. Metals have boomed in the pasts 15-18 months. Energy is up a lot in the last 15 or 18 months. Agriculture for the most part is still very depressed. Yes, you are right, rubber has done well, some things have done well but for the most part, agricultural products are still very depressed, including sugar. Sugar went up a lot in the last couple of years, but sugar is still very depressed compared to its all time high.
It is a known fact that global markets are really swayed by movements across the globe. Any cataclysmic events that you expect to see in 2010 the rest of the year or do you think it is going to be a largely meandering benign kind of year that we have ahead of us?
I have no idea. As we started the programme I explained to you that there will be more currency crises, more currency turmoil over the next year, two or three. We have huge imbalances. All the credit to nations in the world or in Asia and all the debt, you know who the debtors are and you know where they are, those imbalances have not been sorted out yet. Throughout history, most imbalances like this have been sorted out in the currency markets or once upon a time when we were on the gold exchange through the gold markets and so we have more problems coming. You may well see some more countries going bankrupt in this period of time because these imbalances still exist. I would be careful if I were you. It is just one other thing. I have started selling short in the last month or so. I have had virtually no shorts. In fact, I have had no shorts since the fall of 2008, but in the last month or so, I started adding to my short positions for the first time in 18 months.
What are you shorting?
I am shorting a stock market index in the US, I am shorting an emerging market index and I am shorting one of the large western international financial institutions. It is an emerging market index; it is not a specific country. It is an index of many emerging markets and that is mainly because the emerging markets have grown more than most things here during this big recovery. So that is where some of the excesses are developing. As far as the large western banks is because it is a bank which people think is extremely sound if I am right, there are going to be more currency problems and more turmoil in the markets, it will have to come down.
A thought prevailing in some people's mind is that China over the next six months would have to cool down a little bit. There could be rate increases as well that could come in and that will put a stop or a temporary blip in certain usual suspect commodities, the likes of base metals, so on and so forth. Do you think that is a distinct possibility?
There is no question that China is already trying to cool things up and they should. They are doing the right thing. They have raised reserve requirements three times, they have raised interest rates, they are putting out some pretty serious measures, they are cooling off the housing bubble which has developed in urban cost of real estate in China. So yes, China is taking smart measures. It is not just China though. Australia is raising interest rates several times. We do have inflation in the world. Some countries deny it and lie about it, but we do have inflation and so people are trying to cool it off. Will that have an effective course whenever you cool off demand for anything; it has an affect in the market. Because of the commodity markets to collapse, if it does, stock markets are going to go around a whole lot more because the fundamentals are much better for commodities than they are for stocks.

Using an electronic system that duplicates the neural signals associated with memory, they managed to replicate the brain function in rats associated with long-term learned behavior, even when the rats had been drugged to forget.
Journal of Neural Engineering - A cortical neural prosthesis for restoring and enhancing memory
A primary objective in developing a neural prosthesis is to replace neural circuitry in the brain that no longer functions appropriately. Such a goal requires artificial reconstruction of neuron-to-neuron connections in a way that can be recognized by the remaining normal circuitry, and that promotes appropriate interaction. In this study, the application of a specially designed neural prosthesis using a multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear model is demonstrated by using trains of electrical stimulation pulses to substitute for MIMO model derived ensemble firing patterns. Ensembles of CA3 and CA1 hippocampal neurons, recorded from rats performing a delayed-nonmatch-to-sample (DNMS) memory task, exhibited successful encoding of trial-specific sample lever information in the form of different spatiotemporal firing patterns. MIMO patterns, identified online and in real-time, were employed within a closed-loop behavioral paradigm. Results showed that the model was able to predict successful performance on the same trial. Also, MIMO model-derived patterns, delivered as electrical stimulation to the same electrodes, improved performance under normal testing conditions and, more importantly, were capable of recovering performance when delivered to animals with ensemble hippocampal activity compromised by pharmacologic blockade of synaptic transmission. These integrated experimental-modeling studies show for the first time that, with sufficient information about the neural coding of memories, a neural prosthesis capable of real-time diagnosis and manipulation of the encoding process can restore and even enhance cognitive, mnemonic processes.

On Monday, March 25, 2013, the B.O.L.D. crochet group paid a visit to the Montefiore Medical Park oncology infusion unit, located at 1695 Eastchester Road, where they made a special delivery of hand-crocheted lap quilts to cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. In addition to the adult blankets, the group members also gave out baby blankets, hat and scarf sets, scarf and fingerless glove sets and flower-shaped potholders.
"It's not uncommon for patients undergoing chemotherapy to feel anxious, alone, sleepy and cold over the course of the several hours each treatment can take, so the quilts offer comfort in many ways," noted Dr. Alyson Moadel, director of Einstein's Psychosocial Oncology Program, which runs the Bronx Oncology Living Daily Program, more commonly known as B.O.L.D.
Most of the crochet group members have been through chemo themselves and, as cancer survivors or loved ones of a survivor, take part in the group to help reduce stress and for mutual support.
The group also offers their creations as raffle items or for sale to help B.O.L.D. with its annual fundraising efforts as participants in – and the Bronx's only fundraising beneficiary of – the EIF-Revlon Run/Walk. They've recently expanded their repertoire of crocheted items to include hats, scarves, gloves and bookmarks.
The group's community service efforts have benefited countless patients throughout the Bronx, with visits to the neonatal and maternity units at Weiler Hospital and Jacobi Medical Center to distribute baby blankets, as well as to Weiler's chemo unit and Jacobi's rehab unit to distribute lap quilts to patients. More recently, they worked with the 49th Precinct Community Council to provide blankets and quilts to families in need during the holiday season.
In addition, several members are hard at work on crochet dolls that they plan to give out to patients at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore. And they plan to give bookmarks to children in local Bronx schools.
For more information about the B.O.L.D. Program, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 718-430-2380.
