Managing Moods
While positive emotions are short-lived, the moods that they affect can last for long periods of time. Working on the Pleasant Life includes positive interventions that are geared toward curtailing negative moods and amplifying positive moods.
Managing moods includes coping with negative events and can be considered the flip side of savoring. Todd Kashdan pointed out in a comment that emotion regulation has different temporal aspects, just as savoring does. Thus one can use antecedent focused strategies before you have an emotional experience, as well as response focused strategies after the fact. Here is Todd's example in quotation marks slightly extended:
"I might be about to give a talk at a conference and remind myself that my wife is going to be there and I have given successful talks dozens of times in my career. I modified my thoughts about the situation before it even occurred, effectively managing my mood to be less worried, more engaged, and more excited. During the talk, I might find that my heart is racing after I accidentally belch while moving to the next powerpoint slide. I might realize the absurdity of the situation and when I see people laughing, I might recognize the humor in it if I was in the crowd listening to a gaseous speaker. And so, I work with my emotions while I am experiencing them." After the speech is over, I can make certain choices in my appraisal of how it went that effect my emotional state. Thus I can either focus on the embarrassing moment, or find other things to remember.

Triggers and Priming
One good way to manage moods is to be aware of the triggers that elicit either positive or negative emotions. With awareness, one can avoid situations that elicit negative emotions, understand and manage the negative emotions better when they occur, and seek out situations that elicit positive emotions.

Positive to Negative Ratio
Researchers have shown that the positive to negative ratio (PNR) is strongly related to outcomes in different contexts, including marriage and business teams. For example, flourishing marriages tend to have high ratios between positive and negative exchanges (according to Gottman, greater than 5 to 1), while failing marriages tend to have low ratios (less than 1 to 1). The Losada line shown below and named after Marcial Losada, is a line based on various sets of outcome data indicating the boundary between flourishing and languishing outcomes (Fredrickson & Losada, 2005). While it is hard to imagine a marriage or business team having a scorekeeper to keep track of the PNR, an awareness that a high PNR is helpful can help people work toward more effective exchanges.

Drake is not a happy camper, you guys. First, he's beyond "disgusted" that Rolling Stone pulled his cover this month to run a story on Philip Seymour Hoffman – how dare they (heavy sarcasm) – and then he's ticked off that they included a quote he said, dissing Kanye West's album, Yeezus. Okay, that one we can see where he'd be a little upset.
Plus, he gave his real feelings on that text Macklemore sent to Kendrick Lamar.

Outlook Web App (OWA) Word Wrap Problem with Firefox
Contributed by Karen Sunderland on 04/28/2014
Some Firefox users have reported (and ITS has confirmed) that word wrap in OWA is not working correctly when typing a message (the typed text does not wrap to a new line). Microsoft acknowledges the problem and is investigating. The workaround is to use a different Web browser, such as Chrome or Internet Explorer (Windows), or Chrome or Safari (Mac).

Myriad Genetics And BioMarin Advance PARP Collaboration Into Phase 3
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:MYGN) today announced that BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. will use Myriad's BRAC Analysis ® test in connection with its pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies for BMN 673. BMN 673 is a novel, orally-active PARP inhibitor designed to induce synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient cells.
Myriad will collaborate with BioMarin to deliver BRAC testing for its pivotal clinical studies. As required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Myriad also submitted an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to the FDA that will allow for BRAC Analysis testing to be used as a companion diagnostic to stratify patients in the BMN 673 clinical program. Additional terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Companion diagnostics are a major focus of our business and are increasingly being integrated into drug development programs," said Mark C. Capone, president of Myriad Genetics Laboratories. "BRAC Analysis has shown promise as a companion diagnostic, and we are actively collaborating with BioMarin to identify responders and non-responders to therapy with BioMarin's novel PARP inhibitor.""Through our experience working with the Myriad BRACAnalysis test in our Phase 1 trial for BMN 673 in solid tumors, we appreciate the investment that Myriad has made in developing this assay and understanding its use," said Len Post, vice president, Chief Scientific Officer Drug Discovery at BioMarin. "Identifying the right patients to enroll in our Phase 3 study for BMN 673 in BRCA breast cancer will be critical in answering important scientific questions about the safety and efficacy of the compound in this select population." About BRACAnalysis ® Companion Diagnostics BRACAnalysis is the gold standard molecular diagnostic test to confirm the presence of a BRCA1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation. Previously published scientific data have shown that patients with BRCA-mutated cancers may receive clinical benefit from treatment with investigational PARP inhibitors. Myriad Genetics has been developing BRACAnalysis as a companion diagnostic for several years. The Company currently has six active collaborations with pharmaceutical companies to develop a BRACAnalysis as a companion diagnostic for investigational PARP inhibitors. In August, the FDA accepted the first Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for BRACAnalysis, enabling clinical studies to include BRACAnalysis testing as a companion diagnostic. For more information, visit www.myriad.com . About Myriad Genetics Myriad Genetics is a leading molecular diagnostic company dedicated to making a difference in patients' lives through the discovery and commercialization of transformative tests to assess a person's risk of developing disease, guide treatment decisions and assess risk of disease progression and recurrence. Myriad's portfolio of molecular diagnostic tests are based on an understanding of the role genes play in human disease and were developed with a commitment to improving an individual's decision making process for monitoring and treating disease. Myriad is focused on strategic directives to introduce new products, including companion diagnostics, as well as expanding internationally.

MYGN-F, MYGN-G Safe Harbor Statement This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the use of Myriad's BRAC Analysis test as a companion diagnostic to stratify patients in BioMarin's pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies for BMN 673; the submission and approval of BRAC Analysis testing for an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BRAC Analysis testing to be used as a companion diagnostic to identify potential responders to BMN 673 therapy in the United States; and the offering of BRAC Analysis testing as a companion diagnostic -- following review by FDA -- to help select patients who are likely to respond to poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors; and the Company's strategic directives under the caption "About Myriad Genetics". These "forward-looking statements" are management's present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risk that sales and profit margins of our existing molecular diagnostic tests and companion diagnostic services may decline or will not continue to increase at historical rates; risks related to changes in the governmental or private insurers reimbursement levels for our tests; the risk that we may be unable to develop or achieve commercial success for additional molecular diagnostic tests and companion diagnostic services in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that we may not successfully develop new markets for our molecular diagnostic tests and companion diagnostic services, including our ability to successfully generate revenue outside the United States; the risk that licenses to the technology underlying our molecular diagnostic tests and companion diagnostic services tests and any future tests are terminated or cannot be maintained on satisfactory terms; risks related to delays or other problems with operating our laboratory testing facilities; risks related to public concern over our genetic testing in general or our tests in particular; risks related to regulatory requirements or enforcement in the United States and foreign countries and changes in the structure of the healthcare system or healthcare payment systems; risks related to our ability to obtain new corporate collaborations or licenses and acquire new technologies or businesses on satisfactory terms, if at all; risks related to our ability to successfully integrate and derive benefits from any technologies or businesses that we license or acquire; the development of competing tests and services; the risk that we or our licensors may be unable to protect the proprietary technologies underlying our tests; the risk of patent-infringement claims or challenges to the validity of our patents; risks of new, changing and competitive technologies and regulations in the United States and internationally; and other factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in Item 1A in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Book Review: The UNIX CD Bookshelf
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
E-mail: email@example.com
URL: http://www.ora.com/
Price: $69.95 US
Reviewer: Derek Vadala
The UNIX CD Bookshelf, packaged by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., marks the third installment in an emerging series by my favorite publisher. The CD-ROM contains a complete copy of UNIX in a Nutshell: System V Edition; UNIX Power Tools, 2nd Edition; Learning the vi Editor, 5th Edition; Learning the UNIX Operating System, 4th Edition; sed and awk, 2nd Edition; and Learning the Korn Shell. These electronic files are laid out in HTML format on the CD-ROM, making them easy to read, navigate, share across local area networks and travel. O'Reilly has also included all the software from UNIX Power Tools, i.e., many useful utilities, shell scripts and software.
For those not familiar with these books, a brief summary follows.
UNIX in a Nutshell is a desktop quick reference outlining the fundamentals of many core UNIX commands while touching on such topics as shell scripting, pattern matching and text processing and editing.
UNIX Power Tools is a collection of articles containing tips and tricks for effective UNIX usage. Organized into more than fifty topics, UPT also includes useful scripts and oodles of pre-compiled open-source software.
Learning the vi Editor covers the ins and outs of this popular editor and its pattern matching and text replacement functions.
Learning the UNIX Operating System provides a swift introduction to the art of UNIX and includes tutorials on basic command use, redirection and process management.
sed and awk focuses on the usage of these two powerful text processing utilities and provides practical examples of their use.
Learning the Korn Shell introduces the fundamentals of the Korn shell as both a user environment and a scripting language, while expanding on many UNIX basics.
While the static pages of these books are exceedingly valuable, the true power of The Bookshelf is unleashed with the included search facility, which makes every book searchable, allowing users to quickly mine information from some of O'Reilly's top titles. Want to know how to copy files using tar? Merely enter tar and copy into the convenient index page, and the article "Copying Directory Trees with tar" from UNIX Power Tools pops up.
The included Java-powered search engine requires installation of the Java run-time environment (JRE), which is conveniently located on the CD. I did notice some minor glitches while using the Java search facility. The Java searcher proved unreliable in searching individual books, but worked flawlessly when milling through the collective titles. Buyers might also find it a tad frustrating that book titles are not returned as part of the results when searching the entire set, making it harder to quickly decide which article will be most relevant to the problem at hand.
The setup of the JRE is straightforward and should be workable by even a UNIX novice. If you cannot make heads or tails of the README file included with the tar archive file or the hassle-free install script, an HTML page (included on the CD and linked from the main index page) includes help for those who need a little push. JRE binaries are included for Linux (libc5 and glibc), Solaris (x86 and Intel), FreeBSD, SunOS and HP/UX. A polite note on the help pages indicates that AIX, Digital UNIX and SCO UNIX binaries could not be included because of licensing issues, but a working link to more information on getting the JRE for any of these architectures, and many others, is provided. Power users might consider using an alternate method to search through the electronic texts. I was able to easily index the lot with htdig. Similar effects could be produced with many other free packages, making the Java annoyances no excuse for passing over this formidable ensemble.
As if the collective texts of these invaluable books coupled with a search facility was not enough, a print copy of UNIX in a Nutshell is also included. Unfortunately, it has not been revised for this release, other than some changes to its artwork and layout. While the included 1994 edition is still wonderfully helpful as a reference book, a more up-to-date revision would have been welcome. This will undoubtedly make many Linux users go running for man pages or a copy of Linux in a Nutshell instead. It would also have been nice to include the 6th edition of Learning the vi Editor, rather than the outdated 5th edition which does not include any of the long-awaited chapters on vi clones. GNU/Emacs users might also find it a tad offensive that they have been usurped here.
The UNIX CD Bookshelf is a must for any UNIX beginner who hasn't been previously exposed to the usefulness of these wonderful books. It makes for a verbose yet portable UNIX desk reference that will surely save UNIX users hours of time. At $69.95, it is also a bargain compared to the aggregate price of the individual titles. Expert users who own most of these titles might want to think twice before shelling out the cash for this bundle, although it would make a serious asset to any consultant on the road. The power of searching through these UNIX titles can save even veterans from many headaches. Looking down the "CD Bookshelf" road with future releases including The Networking CD Bookshelf and The Perl CD Bookshelf, I wonder when we'll see an O'Reilly compendium on DVD-ROM.
Derek Vadala (firstname.lastname@example.com) lives in San Francisco and works as a UNIX consultant for Taos Mountain. He wishes more people would use Linux as it would make his life fairly hassle free. Send praise or flames to email@example.com.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Apple apologizes for Maps, says to try Google instead
While we've reviewed Apple's latest hardware offering, we're still in the process of getting to know iOS 6. Spoiler: it's got some pretty frustrating changes, most notably Apple swapping out iOS staple Google Maps for its own proprietary Maps app. It's an inferior offering and today Apple is apologizing for it.
You can read Tim Cook's full apology here, where he promises that "we are doing everything we can to make Maps better" and that Apple is "extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers."
He gives something of an excuse for Maps (emphasis ours):
"We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up."
Then, he offers frustrated customers some alternatives (again, emphasis ours):
"While we're improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app."
We should have our full iOS 6 impressions after using the new software for a full week very soon, but if you're one of the 60 percent of iPhone owners who've made the switch to iOS 6, tell us: Are you enjoying Maps? If not, does this apology make you feel any better, and do you think you'll be moving on to one of the alternatives? Let us know in the comments below.

Bad boilerplate can shake one's faith in evolution; not only does it not die away, it multiplies. The puzzle is why. Much of boilerplate is ambiguous or incomprehensible. This alienates consumers and is increasingly punished by courts construing the language against the drafter. There must, therefore, be some hidden allure to ambiguous boilerplate. The popular theory is trickery: drafters lure consumers in with promising language that comes to nothing in court. But this trick would require consumers to do three things they do not do—read the language, understand it, and take comfort in it.
There is a hidden allure to ambiguous boilerplate, but the trick lies in the courts, not the consumer. The trick is a private conversation between drafters and courts; excused from the table is the consumer, who could have no fair duty to understand, and so has no duty to read. With the consumer out of the room, edits and additions to boilerplate are targeted to courts alone. The new language does not need to make sense to a layman. It does not even need to make sense standing alone; a judge will read the language in the context of precedent, with the aid of briefing.

Psst! I'm visiting over at Mandyland today – come read about the crash course I took in child rearing!
Also, I'm in the hot seat at Four Plus An Angel this week, which means you get to ask me any little old question you want and my answers will be posted next week. So go ahead, drop by and ask me anything. I can take it.
You know what I love most about blogging? The sharing. The sharing of ideas and thoughts and pieces of ourselves with others who we would not otherwise have the opportunity to know.
I love sharing me with you, and I especially love you sharing yourselves with me.
So let's all share, shall we? Let's get our comfy lounging clothes on and sit around in a circle and paint our nails and tell secrets about ourselves.
I'll go first. You ready?
Here goes (deep breath): I love pasta. In fact, I'm sorta addicted. I'll eat it in any shape or form. There have been times in my life when I've eaten it twice a day. I just love it.
Wait. What's that? Oh. You already knew that, huh? Well, I'll work on another secret and be sure to share it with you as soon as I come up with it.
Let's talk about this pasta dish I just whipped up, shall we?
I had these olives just lolling around in my pantry. And some pasta (when don't I?). And other stuff. And I was hungry. So I got to work. And then I got to work eating the results of my work. And it was good.
Just a little pinch of red pepper flakes makes a great big impact when they're simmered with the pasta while it finishes cooking. Combine that with lots of yummy garlic, olive oil and butter…well, how can you lose? You can't. You really can't.
Oh. And lots of cheese doesn't hurt, either. But then I love cheese almost as much as I love pasta.
1 cup pasta, uncooked (long pasta would probably work best!)
1/2 cup olives, pitted and roughly chopped
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Pinch of red pepper flakes (to taste, of course!)
Cook pasta to just al dente in boiling, unsalted water (pasta absorbs flavor from the olives later).
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a saute pan over medium heat until foam subsides. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or so. Add olives, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
Reserve 1 cup or so of cooking liquid and drain the pasta. Add to pan and toss with olive mixture. Add water by the ladleful, just enough to moisten pasta and make a sauce. Allow pasta to finish cooking in simmering sauce.
Serve hot, and ideally with lots of cheese.
What's YOUR favorite pasta recipe?
Sharing with 33 Shades of Green, Designs by Gollum, Simply Sweet Home & Tidy Mom – come see what everyone else has to offer this week!
24 Responses to "Spicy Olive Pasta"
That looks absolutely divine. I'm going to have to try it.
I wish I could just look in my pantry and throw together a delish meal like this. *sigh*..maybe if I read your blog long enough I'll be able to.
I confess to also adoring pasta. I could eat it everyday. And for that reason, I love the variation when it's cheese and olive oil vs. marinara on it.
Looks good and so easy!
I'm eating leftover pasta as I type. My secret? I eat things sometimes for the condiments. Pasta is the best way to consume grated Parmesan cheese. Just like fries are the best conduit for ketchup.
Now, I'm enjoying a Caesar salad with Kalamata olives… your recipe had me craving olives!
BTW, I took a break from typing to make the salad. I had both for lunch. YUM!
Yummy! I LOVE simple pasta dishes like this.
My mouth is literally watering. That grated cheese looks so freakin' good. I think I'm going to have to make this.
Gorgeous photos too!
Looks delicious!
You insist on making this look so easy. My secret? I hate you for that!
I am also a lover of pasta. It was something that I stopped eating for years because of some sort of crazy carb fearing period. It got reintroduced when I was pregnant and I never looked back.
That looks delicious. Pasta and cheese are 2 of my favorites also. Give me a bowl of pasta with a cream sauce and I'm in heaven. Your version sounds delicious
Simple and flavorful!!! Love these easy, yet wonderful, pasta dishes
I would love to try this recipe. Next time I have the ingredients I will!
I gave you an award on my blog: http://admafrica.blogspot.com/2011/05/try-it-mom-tagged-me-in-meme-on-her.html
This recipe is right up my alley. Unfortunately, I'm the only olive lover in my house. I'll need a plan for making this.
This sounds fantastic! Love red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese together. I'm a pasta addict, too!
Dang girl – this looks so good. Personally, I love olives so this is heaven to me right here!
I like olives and I like pasta. Perfect combination for me. Looks great. I am following your blog now. Stop by and check our blog out sometime.
Can't beat the combination of simple, savory flavors! Can't name a favorite (I love pasta too much, like you) but I can say we had pasta tonight with slices of roasted sweet potatoes. We threw in some asparagus and spinach to break up the carb-fest. It was creamy and delicious. I just came across you site and can't wait to try this recipe and many others. Thank you!
Hi Jen, I love the look of your blog. It is a beauty. I also like how you organized it.
To top it all off, I love this recipe and would be thrilled if tomorrow evening or Monday, you would link it up to My Meatless Mondays. Since, I know you a long time, I will admit that I want recipes, I am planning to make, on my blog so I will remember to make them.
Oh baybee! This is my kinda dish. I'd have it for dinner with red wine and candles. I wish I was Italian! Love the blog BTW- Kendra
Why yes, this makes twice in one week I've made this. Yum!
[...] started cooking again in August after a long hiatus and this delicious Spicy Olive Pasta, recipe courtesy of Jen of The Misadventures of Mrs B, got me off to a great start. It's still one of my favorite go-to [...]

I like to relax, so I consider myself an expert on comfortable chairs. I would have to say that this chair is one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in. If my butt could talk it would say thank you. I recommend this chair if you like to sit for long periods at a time. It's that comfortable.
This chair was everything it promised. Been using it everyday at our pool club. This was a great buy because I belong to a local buying club store and buying this set from O beats the price per chair price at the club store. Only complaint is the chairs are a little heavy and would not like to carry these chairs a long distance from the car. These chairs are sturdy and well made.
I have purchased 5 of these chairs...one for me and the others were gifts to 2 of my sons and their wives.....they loved them! They are by far the most comfortable outdoor lounge chair I have ever sat in....and easy to fold up ,unfold and adjust...we all think they are great. I would definitely recommend them.
I ordered these chairs because my father wanted "camping chairs" for their motorhome outings. Well...they FAR exceed any camping chair I have ever used! But if you want something lightweight, these are not for you. They only fold up, they don't collapse in for easy camping-style transport. I had sat in one owned by a friend and knew that my parents would benefit from the zero gravity aspect which relieves virtually all pressure from the primary joints and helps you to truly relax. In fact, even though they were a Christmas present, when they arrived at my house, I couldn't resist opening one of them and using it myself for a couple days until I had to give it away. :-) Christmas afternoon found my father napping in his new chair in the living room. He has a bad back and the chair gave him much needed relief. Love them!
I bought these chairs to use for company indoors, since I have a small living room and only one couch. Love, love, love these. They are very comfortable and fold up easily to put away when not in use. You can sit upright or lay back---just like having a portable recliner. The headrests are adjustable. Very happy with my purchase.
A friend has a set and that's why I ordered a set. I love them. I would tell anyone to order them.
These are perfect for extra table seating but also recline and hold up to 300 pounds. My husband was skeptical but now I find him in his chair often in the afternoon on the patio with his glass of wine over looking the back yard. Pretty great chairs, you can really relax in these without taking up room for a whole lounge.
Great chairs fast delivery and great price. Great job overstock
Since we downsized to a townhouse, I was looking for some versatile and comfortable chairs for our deck. I wanted something that could recline for sunning and relaxing as well as sit straight up for dining al fresco. We had to be careful about size, since space on our new deck is limited. These chairs met the bill on all counts. No assembly required, which was perfect. Also, for someone with back problems, they are extremely comfortable. We bought 2 sets of these chairs and we are very pleased with the purchase. They are sturdy, comfortable and I love the elegance of the black color. All in all, I would definitely recommend these chairs to others.
Was hesitant because of the inexpensive price, but read a ton of reviews, so plunged in a bought them.Not dissapointed .They're classy black, light enough for me to lift.The only issue is learning how to lock it on the position you want.After much discussion on the locking loop, my boyfriend a moldmaker, said he is going to make a stop loop to hold the thumb holes in the down, or lock position.He says the manufacturer used a too soft HDPE for the lock to hold on the track.In otherwords, once locked the soft pliable thumb loops warm up and begin to release the position you've selected. Other than this, you can rest your thumb in the loops with very little pressure and they stay. We've had a bunch of fun naming the different sitting positions we've tried with these chairs. "Dentist root canal", "Stargazer", "Napper", "cocktail lazy boy", etc! We will be taking them camping, as we love to look and photograph the stars. With my injured neck, I can look up in a comfortable position with no pain. Thank you for these cool chairs!

Starweirds are a species of uncorporeal humanoids found only in the vacuum of the space. This creatures appear to the spacers while them where repairing their starships in the space, or aboard vessels traveling through the hyperspace. The Starweirds are tall and gaunt, has long and sharpened talons, wild white hair, and glowing eyes. They are considered a mysterious species, and some Jedi hypothesized that they are physical manifestations of the dark side of the Force. A starweird would choose one target and focuses on the individual and not let it go at kill him. The species are capable of use the Force skills as the Force powers Drain Energy, Force Grip, Force Lighting, and Force Sight.

Selected techniques of regional anaesthesia for orthopaedic surgery
*Ewa Chabierska
Department of Endoscopic Surgery in Zory
Central blocks, continuous subarachnoid-epidural anaesthesia, including combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia (CSE) are used for long and painful procedures of lower limbs. They provide quick and good-quality anaesthesia as well as satisfactory postoperative analgesia. After their administration, ambulation is quick and rehabilitation instituted early, which is essential for the postoperative course of orthopaedic procedures.
Peripheral blocks are an excellent alternative, especially in patients at high perioperative risk, who require anticoagulants.
The novel techniques of location of peripheral nerves and plexuses, i.e. nerve stimulation- and ultrasound-guidance, improve the efficacy of blocks and shorten the duration of anaesthesia. Moreover, they improve safety and comfort of patients.
The paper presented during the 8th Polish ESRA Zonal Symposium, Wisła 27-29 May 2010
Anaesthesia for orthopaedic surgery requires knowledge of various techniques of regional anaesthesia. Limb surgery may be conducted under central or peripheral blockades, which provide good perioperative analgesia. Continuous analgesia ensures effective relief of postoperative pain, early ambulation and successful rehabilitation of patients.
Central blocks, spinal or epidural are routinely administered by the majority of anaesthesiologists. Combined continuous spinal-epidural (CSE) anaesthesia is considerably rarer in everyday practice, despite its numerous assets.
The pioneer of this technique was Ryszard Rodziński, a surgeon from Lvov who published several studies on the combined use of spinal anaesthesia, used since 1898, and sacral epidural anaesthesia, known since 1901 [1].
The combination of both central blocks eliminates some disadvantages and limitations of each method and exposes their merits [2]. It provides fast and good analgesia, eliminates the risk of too short or improper level of anaesthesia, which is the drawback of spinal anaesthesia. In CSE anaesthesia, its duration can be prolonged at any time, range extended or effects prolonged over the postoperative period.
Indications for CSE anaesthesia for orthopaedic surgery include procedures of anticipated duration >90 min, those associated with severe postoperative pain and in which early ambulation is recommended or in high-risk patients where extensive sympathetic blockade is contraindicated.
Double-insertion technique
First, the extradural space is localized and the catheter introduced. In another space (mostly beneath) spinal blockade is performed. The technique enables control of proper catheter position (pain, paraesthesia, CSF leak) before the supply of a local anaesthetic to the subarachnoid space. Its drawback, however, is that two insertions are needed.
In another technique, described by Cook [3], the needle is first inserted into the subarachnoid space. Once its proper position is confirmed, the needle lumen should be closed with a central stylet to prevent the leak of CSF. The second epidural needle is used to localize another intervertebral space and the epidural catheter is introduced. After confirming the proper catheter position, a local anaesthetic is first administered into the subarachnoid space. According to the author of this technique, such anaesthesias are associated with markedly lower percentages of failures and lower risk of complications, e.g. insertion of the epidural catheter into the subarachnoid space or damage to the catheter by the spinal needle.
Irrespective of the space penetrated first, the method is intricate, requiring the puncture of two intervertebral spaces, which increases the risk of vessel punctures and CNS infections.
Single-insertion technique – "needle-through-needle"
In 1937, Soresi [4] described the CSE anaesthesia technique using one needle. The local anaesthetic was first injected to the epidural space; the same needle was advanced and the drug deposited in the subarachnoid space. Special sets are currently used for this technique.
In most cases, the spinal needle is introduced into the epidural one and sticks out for 10-20 mm; thanks to that, the subarachnoid and epidural spaces can be simultaneously localized. In this technique, the local anaesthetic is first administered to the subarachnoid space and once the spinal needle is removed, the catheter is inserted into the epidural space.
The advantage of this technique is the puncture of only one intervertebral space, which increases comfort of patients. The simplicity of the technique and the smaller number of manipulations during anaesthesia diminishes the risk of vessel punctures and CNS infections. Its major limitation is that the epidural catheter position cannot be checked before the administration of local anaesthetic to the subarachnoid space.
Technique with a double-lumen needle
Using a single insertion of a double-lumen needle into the intervertebral space, the epidural space is first localized and the catheter introduced, followed by the insertion of the spinal needle through the lower lumen; finally the anaesthetic is administered.
To improve the efficacy and safety of CSE anaesthesia, various methods have been described. One of them is nerve stimulation [5], in which special epidural catheters, connected with a stimulator, have to be used. Proper placement of the catheter is confirmed by muscle contraction within the lower limbs in response to electrical stimulation of 1-10 mA. This method can be used in the technique of two insertions or one insertion with a double-lumen needle.
Another method improving the efficacy and safety of CSE anaesthesia is ultrasonography [6]. The method is not easy due to difficulties in visualizing the spinal canal (numerous artefacts caused by bony tissue) and various technical problems. A specially designed head of the probe solved some of the problems; using this head the puncture needle may be introduced under ultrasound guidance. The method has been successfully used during CSE anaesthesia for elective Caesarean sections [7].
A renewed interest in peripheral nerve blocks has been observed, which is associated with novel, safer and more effective local anaesthetics. The widespread use of low-molecular heparins and oral anticoagulants in patients with cardiovascular diseases hinders administration of central blocks; therefore, peripheral blocks have become a good alternative.
The peripheral nerves may be identified using the anatomical landmarks, by inducing paraesthesia, or using nerve stimulation and ultrasound guidance.
The first two methods are not currently recommended due to a high risk of complications and a relatively low percentage of successes. Their use excludes the possibility of objective assessment of proper placement of a needle in the tissues, the only confirmation being paresthesias (usually unpleasant), reported by the patient.
Nerve stimulation
Peripheral plexuses and nerves are localized using the electric current to stimulate the nervous motor fibres. Stimulation induces the contraction of an appropriate group of tissues, which confirms the proper needle placement. At present, low current intensities (0.2-0.5 mA) are used, which increases the safety and comfort of patients. The remaining parameters of the device include the frequency (1-2 Hz) and time of impulse (0.1-0.3 ms). The time of impulse during localization of motor nerves should be 0.1 ms. In order to identify sensory nerves [8], particularly the saphenous nerve in the distal thigh, longer impulses are required – 0.3 ms, which corresponds to chronaxia of the sensory nerves. If the stimulating needle is too near the sensory nerve searched for, the patient will feel paresthesias within the innervation region, which additionally confirms its proper placement.
The best blocking effect is provided when the motor response is induced by the electric current of 0.2-0.5 mA [9]. It should be remembered that the response to stimulation persisting at <0.2 mA may be suggestive of too close position of the needle in relation to the nerve. In such cases, there is a risk of nerve damage during the supply of local anaesthetic; the needle should be gently withdrawn until the motor response during 0.2 mA stimulation vanishes.
Furthermore, stimulation may be used for identification of individual nerves. For instance, the brachial plexus block by axillary approach when the local anaesthetic may be administered into the region of each nerve separately. Such a block provides better quality of anaesthesia with a smaller local anaesthetic dose. The prerequisite of successful block with stimulation is the knowledge of anatomy, topography and type of motor response during stimulation of individual nerves.
Another technique facilitating the localization of nerves and plexuses is transdermal stimulation. The majority of the latest stimulators are additionally equipped; thanks to that, the desirable motor response of muscles can be obtained by touching the skin over the nerve with a stimulator, before the needle insertion. Transdermal stimulation increases the efficacy of block, shortens the time of anaesthesia and improves the patient`s comfort.
The newest technique used to identify the peripheral nerves and plexuses is ultrasonography, which was introduced into clinical practice in the mid-90ties of the previous century [10]. Ultrasonography enables visualization of anatomical structures and objective monitoring of local anaesthetic distribution.
Thanks to the high-quality devices (linear head 8-13 MHz) and high resolution of images, the finest anatomical structures can be visualized. In order to use this method successfully, the operator should know classical anatomy and topography of the region blocked as well as ultrasound anatomy of the nervous structures and adjacent tissues. Each plexus and nerve has a characteristic ultrasound appearance. Individual nerves differ in shape, appearance and echogenicity.
With ultrasound guidance, the spread of local anaesthetic during its supply can be observed and the needle position corrected, if need be.
Numerous studies demonstrate that ultrasound guided blocks may be efficiently used with markedly lower doses of anaesthetics – even 20-30% lower than in the other techniques described [11].
Ultrasound-guidance enables the control of needle position. When the "in plane" method is used, the entire needle length is visible, i.e. the needle is inserted along the longitudinal dimension of the head. In the "out of plane" method, the needle is visible as a point, i.e. introduced along the transverse head dimension. The choice of method depends on the type of block, imagination and manual skills of an anaesthesiologist. Both methods may be used interchangeably.
Irrespective of the method used, ultrasonography diminishes the risk of puncturing the blood vessels or pleural cavity thus improves the safety of block and patient`s comfort. Additionally, multiple punctures of the anaesthetized area are not needed.
Combined stimulation and ultrasonography
The studies attempting to demonstrate the superiority of one of the techniques in question seem pointless [12] as each technique has its merits and limitations.
The limitations of nerve stimulation include low sensitivity hindering identification of the nerve with a needle, which is likely to be associated with varied resistance of healthy tissues or lack of motor response in cases of peripheral neuropathy. In ultrasonography, on the other hand, imaging of all anatomical structures is not always accurate. Technical problems, such as an acoustic shadow induced by bony structures, acoustic enhancement below big blood vessels or air in the tissues, may markedly worsen the quality of imaging and thus impair visualization of the nervous structures and the needle.
The combination of both techniques improves the efficacy and safety of peripheral nerve blocks. If sensitivity of stimulation is low, an appropriate needle placement should be confirmed ultrasonographically. Difficulties in imaging the nervous structures, e.g. due to anatomical anomalies, may be overcome by confirming the proper nerve localization using a stimulator.
In many cases of brachial plexus blocks by the axillary approach, the radial nerve is located just below the axillary artery, in the region of acoustic enhancement caused by blood vessels; hence, ultrasound visualization of the nerve is infeasible. In such cases, the motor response to radial nerve stimulation confirms its position and appropriate needle placement.
Ultrasonography and nerve stimulation are supplementary. Their simultaneous application increases the efficacy of blocks to almost 100% [13, 14].

Raleigh, N.C. – North Carolinians give Pat McCrory a C for his work as Governor so far. We asked on our monthly poll what letter grade they would give McCrory based on his time in office to date and his reviews came in right down the middle. 42% give him an A or a B, compared to 37% who give him a D or an F. But since his F's (20%) outweigh his A's (17%) it puts him at a C overall.
McCrory's approval rating this month is 43% to 45% of voters who disapprove of him. For the fifth month in a row we find that a hypothetical contest between him and Roy Cooper would be within a couple points, with McCrory at 44% this month to 43% for Cooper. There is virtually no support for impeaching Cooper, a possibility allegedly brought up by a Republican legislator a few weeks ago. Just 16% of voters would favor that course of action to 42% who are opposed and 42% who have no opinion either way.
