- Acneiform eruptions in dermatology a differential diagnosis 2014, SpringerDermatologists commonly treat acne, which affects 40 to 50 million Americans each year and about 85 percent of all patients at some point in their lives. Dermatologists, primary care doctors, and pediatricians see these patients every day in practice. It is important to treat the skin effectively not only to reduce the risk of physical scarring, but also to address the negative psychosocial impact this disease carries. Improving the skin can improve self-confidence, interpersonal relationships, and performance in school or at work. Acneiform Eruptions in Dermatology is a practical, full-color guide to the differential diagnosis of acne vulgaris and the treatment of acne-like conditions. It is organized into sections by subtype of condition (e.g., infections, genetic syndromes, medication-caused) and includes a section of variants of acne that may be misdiagnosed. Within the sections, individual chapters discuss each variant of the condition and begin with a helpful bulleted summary of its defining clinical features. Extensive color clinical images appear throughout the book.

- Addressing unhealthy alcohol use in primary care 2013, Springer"While there is a wealth of published information on addiction medicine, the psychological aspects of alcohol abuse, and behavioral medicine with regard to addiction, virtually none of the existing resources were written with the primary care provider in mind. Addressing Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Primary Care is a handy reference for primary care clinicians who are confronted by patients with these problems daily, and who wish to successfully address these issues in their practice. Focusing on the literature and science relevant to practicing providers, this book covers the range of interventions appropriate for this setting. Topics include assessment, brief counseling interventions, pharmacotherapy, referrals to both specialty care and Alcoholics Anonymous (and other self-help programs), psychiatric comorbidity and other drug use, and other information specific to the needs of the primary care clinician. The vast majority of people with health risks and consequences related to alcohol use receive little to no attention from healthcare, despite the fact that alcohol is a leading cause of early preventable death. This book is a guide to identifying and addressing unhealthy alcohol use in hopes of improving the lives of patients."--publisher's website

- Bariatric and metabolic surgery 2014, SpringerBariatric and metabolic surgery is recognized to be an important and effective option for the treatment of severe obesity and the various associated conditions and diseases, such as type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular dysfunction, dyslipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea. Despite its established value, however, there is scope for further improvement in safety and in the quality of the surgical techniques, and calls have therefore been made for the establishment of standard techniques and procedures. This book accordingly presents state of the art knowledge on bariatric and metabolic surgery with the aim of facilitating the sharing and exchange of knowledge, documenting effective techniques, and enhancing safety and outcomes. All technical aspects are covered in detail, and the text is complemented by many helpful illustrations. A further key feature is the provision of accompanying surgical videos, which will be of value to both novice and experienced surgeons. This textbook will be a great asset in clinical practice for all who are involved or interested in bariatric and metabolic surgery.
- Behavioral consequences of stroke 2014, SpringerA comprehensive, state-of-the-art contribution to a field that is rapidly developing, The Behavioral Consequences of Stroke provides a broad overview of the cognitive and neurobehavioral effects of stroke. As attention to paralysis and the more obvious physical disabilities stroke patients incur expands, greater attention is being paid today to the cognitive and neurobehavioral complications that impact stroke morbidity and even functional neurological recovery in patients. Written by an international panel of experts and edited by a neurosurgeon and by a cognitive neuroscientist, this unique title addresses the full range of issues relevant to the field, including epidemiology, general treatment, sensorimotor control after stroke, post-stroke aphasia, memory loss after stroke, post-stroke depression, the role of imaging after a stroke, and an update on some stroke clinical trials, to name just some of the areas covered. Illuminative and an influential addition to the literature, The Behavioral Consequences of Stroke will serve as an invaluable resource for neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists and other physicians, as well as physical, speech and occupational therapists, nurses, psychologists, and other professionals.

- "Bratton's Family Medicine Board Review, Fourth Edition, is a directed review of important topics that typically appear on American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) in-training examinations, board certification examinations, and recertification examinations. This material is not intended for a comprehensive review but, instead, should direct the examinee to areas of weakness that may need further review. Family medicine is a broad field, and to provide a complete, comprehensive review of all topics that may be covered is extremely time consuming if not impossible. Several other courses attempt to provide this type of review; however, this book is more abbreviated and focuses on topics that are commonly found on board examinations. Adequate preparation for any test is the key to success and rewarding results. Given this, we all know the importance of practice tests and the benefits of testing our knowledge base before the actual examination. This review book is structured for the examinee with limited time and resources for review and should be used only by those individuals with an established foundation of knowledge within the field of family medicine. Its primary purpose is to identify areas of weakness that can be improved on"--Provided by publisher.

- Diagnostic principles and applications avoiding medical errors, passing board exams, and providing informed patient care 2013, SpringerWhich disease should you consider when a young adult has localized bone pain that is dramatically relieved by aspirin? What is sometimes the only physical manifestation of bulimia nervosa? These so-called "old fashioned" historical clues and physical signs are not only part of our medical heritage; their deployment can often spell the difference between prompt clinical diagnosis versus a costly investigative odyssey. Often overlooked with today's emphasis on laboratory testing, a diagnostic pearl such as knowing that a diabetic patient with peripheral neuropathy may actually have metformin-induced vitamin B12 deficiency can be a shortcut to disease recognition.Diagnostic Principles and Applications presents selected literature-based facts and diagnostic insights to help clinicians provide better-informed clinical assessments, avoid medical misadventures, and prepare for their board examinations. The chapters cover:Classic diagnostic pearlsRed flag symptoms and signs of serious illnessBellwether disease indications allowing an occasional early, preemptive diagnosisCounterintuitive clinical manifestations of diseaseCurious clues to specific diagnosesRobert B. Taylor, MD is the author and editor of more than two dozen medical books, including three on the topic of clinical diagnosis, and several hundred published articles. He is a veteran of both rural private practice and chairmanship of a medical school clinical department.

- The increasing prevalence of morbid obesity has led the World Health Organization to coin the descriptive term "globesity" to reflect the worldwide nature of the problem. Providing health care to these patients, especially when surgery is required, can be extremely challenging owing to the specific needs in respect of logistics, facilities, and professional expertise. Appropriate care has too often been unachievable and unaffordable outside of established bariatric centers, but such centers themselves usually have insufficient capacity and resources to cope with growing demand. This book aims to provide guidance and helpful tips and tricks on how to deal with obese patients within a general surgery setting. Epidemiology, organizational and logistical aspects, nursing issues, patient assessment, anesthesiology, and surgical practicalities are expertly covered in the opening chapters. Techniques of relevance to the general surgeon are described according to anatomic region, covering the head and neck; cardiothoracic and vascular system; upper and lower GI tract; pancreas, liver and adrenal glands; urinary tract and kidneys; the reproductive system; and the abdominal wall. Results achieved by bariatric surgery worldwide are reviewed, and the book closes with a chapter devoted to plastic and reconstructive surgery. The Globesity Challenge to General Surgery highlights a need for global rethinking on public health as regards resource allocation and patterns and standards of care, improving outcomes through greater affordability.

- Integrative weight management a guide for clinicians 2014, SpringerIntegrative Weight Management: A Guide for Clinicians intends to educate physicians and nutritionists about the wide ranges of approaches to weight control from non-traditional sources. The options for weight management in conventional practices are limited to a small number of medications, a confusing array of dietary approaches and surgical procedures with their inherent risks and complications. Unfortunately medical practitioners are not exposed to nutrition and weight control principles during training and thus are reluctant to manage their patients weight control issues. This volume is structured into 4 sections: Introduction to Weight Management Disorders; Morbidity and Mortality of Obesity; Therapy of Obesity; and Integrative Medicine and Obesity. Integrative Weight Management: A Guide for Clinicians represents a powerful collaboration of dozens of leading experts in the fields of nutrition, weight management and integrative medicine who have managed countless numbers of patients and summarized the research from thousands of articles to create an up-to- date state of the art guide for healthcare practitioners, allied health professionals and public health authorities who manage those who are overweight/obese along with the associated metabolic consequences.

- Managing gout in primary care 2014, Springer"Gout has been a well-known disease for over 2000 years, and is the most common cause of joint inflammation in adult males. It has become apparent that no therapeutic target based on hyperuricemia outcome had been defined. Very few controlled trials were available to test the efficacy and safety of treatments, and no research on diagnosis and management had been done despite data showing that patients with gout were generally improperly treated even in the hands of specialists. In the last 10 years, good-quality evidence on gout impact and management has grown exponentially, renal transporters have been recently identified, and a number of new drugs have been approved or are under current development. This handbook discusses these developments and the future of gout treatment, which now looks promising."--Publisher's website.
- Low back pain is described as a very common condition that tends to affect about 70% of the population at some point in time with varying degrees of symptom severity. Although definitions vary, sciatic pain is generally defined as back-related pain radiating to the leg (normally below the knee and into the foot and toes) and is one of the commonest variations of low back pain. Patients with sciatica typically experience a more persistent and severe type of pain, a less favorable outcome, consume more healthcare resources and have more prolonged disability and absence from work than those with low back pain alone. Managing Sciatica and Radiculopathies in Primary Care Practice provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the subject and key information for primary care practitioners about low back pain in patients, including definitions and causes, current management approaches, diagnostic and treatment algorithms, as well as clinical practice guidelines.

- Quo vadis medical healing past concepts and new approaches 2009, SpringerMedical healing implies knowledge of the assumptions that underlie our understanding of 'health', and, concomitantly, how we define well being and its opposites, illness and disease. Today, health, health care (business, wellness, recreation), and medicine (especially research-driven scientific medicine) have become separate entities with different institutions, budgets, marketing philosophies and 'corporate cultures'. Furthermore, healing is individual and subjective, yet at the same time also culturally determined. The present volume brings together papers on these topics in an unique interdisciplinary approach. The book provides an ethical framework for healthcare from a political perspective. It discusses definitions of the terminology of healing and health and their ethical and medical implications including their historical contexts. A separate section expands the theme of the cultural constructedness of healing by the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine and homeopathy. Modern medicine has a strong focus on acute care, which urgently needs to place greater emphasis on preventive medicine including the crucial importance of social factors on health and on the emergence of 'public health'. The point of view of Business Concepts, their potential and limitations are by no means neglected and the legal ramifications of genetic research and innovative medical strategies with regard to some of our most foundational notions are discussed.

Bottom Trawling Threatens Deep Sea Ecosystems, Studies Say
Cod, flounder, and halibut make delicious seafood, but they're often not sustainably harvested. In fact, they're likely caught with one of the most destructive types of fishing gear: bottom trawls. These large, heavy nets are dragged across large areas of seafloor, and inevitably clear-cut everything in their path.

Portugal Protects More Than Two Million Square Kilometers from Bottom Trawls
In a remarkable effort to protect its waters, the Portuguese government issued a decree prohibiting deep-sea fishing in an area spanning 2,280,000 square kilometers. Even though the decree exempts longlining, which is authorized under certain conditions, it is an immensely significant step in protecting deep-sea species and ecosystems.

Stand Up for the Deep
Deep ocean species grow slowly and produce few offspring, making them very vulnerable to overfishing. But the European Union fleet in the North-East Atlantic fishes down to depths of 1,500 meters, using bottom-fishing gear that destroys thousand-year-old corals and sponge beds. Even more worrying, up to 80 percent of trawl catches are discarded and thrown away.

The deep sea, dark and less colorful, but possibly even more awe-inspiring, can sometimes be ignored since it is so far below our world. That may be why, in the European Union (EU), the main regulation to manage fisheries occurring in this fragile world have not been updated since 2002.

Bien Hecho! Costa Rica Bans Shrimp Trawl Nets
We are excited to share some great news out of our international offices – Costa Rica has banned the use of trawl nets to catch shrimp throughout the country! Trawl nets destroy our oceans -- ripping up the seafloor, razing coral reefs, and catching huge amounts of marine creatures as bycatch – so this ruling is a major victory for our oceans. It's estimated that 871,000 tons of bony fishes, sharks, and rays were caught in Costa Rica as incidental bycatch of shrimp trawling between 1950 and 2008.

Alaskan Skate Nurseries Gain Protection
On Thursday, six skate nurseries in Alaska's Bering Sea were designated as "Habitat Areas of Particular Concern." Skates are a member of the ray family, and live on the seafloor. The designation requires consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service before activities such as offshore oil and gas development can take place.
The protected nurseries are six of only 13 or 14 total sites in the Bering Sea where skates lay their leathery egg cases, commonly known as mermaid's purses, in deep submarine canyons. Skate eggs take three years hatch, making them extremely vulnerable to seafloor destruction.
With over 200 species of skate around the globe, they are part of the ancient family that includes sharks and rays. While the family has survived many mass extinctions, including those that killed the dinosaurs, they have not evolved to survive the dramatic impacts of humans on their habitat. Many species, including the common skate, have been dangerously overfished, and the nurseries in the Bering Sea are critical to the continued survival of skates in the North Pacific.
Chile Becomes First Country in World to Protect All Seamounts from Devastating Bottom Trawling!
As you enjoy those last holiday cookies before the New Year comes with its resolutions, we'd love to share one final present for you to enjoy: we are thrilled to announce that last week, the country of Chile became the first in the world to protect all of its seamounts from the devastating effects of bottom trawling! Oceana CEO Andrew Sharpless and actor and Oceana board member Ted Danson collaborated in an article published by the Huffington Post to share this excellent news with the world.
Seamounts are underwater mountain ranges that are home to an unbelievable array of sea creatures fed by the nutrient-rich water from the deep upwells. The destructive practice of bottom trawling, where large, heavy nets weighing as much as several tons each effectively clear-cut everything living on the seafloor, causes more direct and avoidable damage to the ocean floor and its creatures than any other human activity in the world. Although some of Chile's seamounts have already been damaged or destroyed by the country's fishing fleet, the December 20 decision closes any further trawling to Chile's 118 seamounts until scientists have assessed these and other underwater ecosystems off the coast of Chile.

Ranger Expedition Uncovers Seamount Life, Pollution
In the past few weeks Oceana's Ranger expedition has been exploring a series of underwater mountains 130 miles West of Portugal known as the Gorringe bank. Formed along with the Atlantic Ocean as Pangaea pulled apart 145 to 155 million years ago, the Gorringe bank juts from depths of as much as 16,000 feet to only 100 feet below the surface. These underwater mountain ranges are a hotspot for marine life, as nutrient rich water upwells to the seamount peaks.
Closer to the surface a familiar parade of whales, dolphins, swordfish and barracuda visit lush kelp forests, while shearwaters and petrels circle above. As you dive deeper though, as the Ranger expedition has with its underwater robot (ROV), you enter a somewhat stranger world, but one that is no less diverse. This is the domain of the dragon fish, the fan corals, the otherworldly deep-sea sharks, the churlish-looking pink frogmouth and still more species unknown to science. Other animals are ambassadors of the deep, patrolling up and down the seamounts in search of prey
"During last year's expedition we found some new species whose existence in the Gorringe was unknown, such as branching black coral, hydrocoral, dogfish, bird's nest sponge, and various gorgonia", says Ricardo Aguilar, Director of Research at Oceana in Europe. "There are dozens of species which have not been identified yet. We hope that they will provide new data on these ecosystems, and facilitate the protection and conservation of this unique enclave."
Unfortunately, as the ranger expedition has also discovered, this habitat is also home to an increasing amount of trash, especially abandoned fishing gear.
By documenting and exploring habitat, Oceana is gathering data about this unique ecosystem that will be crucial in formulating conservation plans that will hopefully protect the area from malign human influences like pollution and bottom trawling.
Keep up with the Ranger expedition online and check out the latest pictures and video.

Photo #: S-584-064
Preliminary Design No.127 for a Scout Cruiser ... May 1, 1915
Preliminary design plan for a large scout cruiser, prepared to support General Board discussions concerning the characteristics sought in future Cruisers.
This plan provided two 14-inch guns and nine 5-inch guns and a speed of 35 knots in a ship 720 feet long on the load water line, 66 feet in beam, with a normal displacement of 13,000 tons. This design included no armor protection and thus added only 2,500 tons displacement over design No.112. This design was first in a set of three requested as a group in late April 1915, apparently to further explore tradeoffs among armament, protection, and size in large scout cruisers carrying a minimum number of heavy guns and capable of 35 knots speed. This design series took Preliminary Design No.112 (see Photo # S-584-050) as a baseline. Ultimately, however, no ships of this type were built.
Note: The original document was a blueprint (white on blue).
The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book".

Early records show the club was formed early in 1962, and the weekend events culminate a yearlong celebration of the club's many contributions to the community.
The celebration will start at 9 a.m. with an open house of the organization's clubhouse at 560 Johnson Blvd.
Simultaneously, club members will be operating their powerful communication equipment to demonstrate how amateur radio enhances a community and to explain the enjoyment they receive from the hobby.
In times of disaster, amateur radio can be the only means of communication when the infrastructure of traditional communications is damaged or destroyed. Such is the case when hurricanes with their 100-plus mph winds and heavy rain can sever an affected area from communication with the rest of the world. In these situations, amateur radio is able to step in and become the only link to relay critical details of storm damage and injuries to those needing that information.
The club has designated two frequencies for this weekend's Special Event station.
They are 7.262 MHz and 14.262 MHz.
These frequencies support communication over hundreds or even thousands of miles, depending upon atmospheric and band conditions.
Other amateurs who contact the Special Event Station via their radios will receive a commemorative QSL card acknowledging the contact. The QSL card includes the date and time the contact was made, the frequency, and any information about the station's signal strength.
Anyone with an interest in learning more about amateur radio is encouraged to stop by.
The open house and special event station will both end at 2 p.m.
Dr. Ron Akers [W8BF] conducts classes on Saturday mornings at the clubhouse for anyone who needs tutoring to get his or her amateur radio license.
As a culmination of the day's activities, a 50th anniversary dinner is being held at 6 p.m. at the Mountain View Inn.

Zerzevetov Pilav: The autumn dish of Musa Ler
Vegetable and bulgur rice made with fresh, local vegetables
Published: Friday September 04, 2009 in Food
Toronto - Armenian women born in Musa Ler, my two paternal aunts included, are among the most resourceful, resilient, and fearless women I know. While one of my aunts stayed behind in Lebanon, the other, Armenuhi Tossounian, immigrated in the 60s to Canada, where she raised three children, ran a family-owned restaurant, and fiercely held on to the traditions passed down to her from her mother.
Horkur has been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Along with her husband Panos, they were among the first people to open a restaurant specializing in Middle Eastern cuisine in a very Anglo-Saxon part of Toronto. Falafel, tabuleh, and hommus weren't the familiar vegetarian dishes they currently are, and selling them at first was no easy job. They were successful thanks to their tenacity and hard work. Most importantly, thanks to the fact that Armenuhi can obviously cook.
Whenever I am in Toronto, Horkur invites me to her place where I'm sure to get a great meal, great conversation, and a lot of laughs. Don't get me wrong, she's no pushover; she speaks her mind, especially to those she loves best. She's also very generous. When her father, my grandfather, passed away in 1980, she went to Lebanon and returned with priceless family mementos. One of them was my grandfather's 1923 university diploma from France, which she graciously passed on to me. I remember her telling me at the time that he was one of the first young men from Musa Ler ever to get a university degree from France.
Many years later, after I had moved to Armenia, my two horkurs came to Armenia, where they persuaded me to relinquish my grandfather's diploma because they had decided to bequeath it, along with a gold medal from France, to the Musa Ler Museum in the village of Musa Ler on the outskirts of Yerevan. I was bitterly opposed to giving up something that had enormous value for our family, but that I feared would not have any value for the museum. But against two Musa-Lertsi women, I had no fighting chance. They argued and cajoled and argued and cajoled until I gave up.
I admit I am still a little upset at my horkurs and my father, who also had a hand in this conspiracy, but as my uncle later told me, the only thing stronger than blood is the soil of the homeland. What can I do? I go on but never miss the chance to remind them of the day they took the diploma.
Food is always the medium through which we laugh, cry, and heal. So after a heated conversation about family heirlooms, we moved to the kitchen, where Armenuhi horkur had made Zerzevetov Pilav. Zerzevet means vegetable in the unique dialect of Musa Ler. I am told that Zerzevetov Pilav is probably one of the only authentic dishes from Musa Ler. It can be made year-round but is traditionally made in the autumn. Made with fresh, local vegetables, this is a hearty, healthy, and easy dish to prepare. One of the unwritten rules with Zerzevetov Pilav is that it must be served with pickled hot peppers and homemade yogurt.
Armenuhi horkur recalls that in Ainjar, Lebanon (where the villagers of Musa Ler were relocated in 1939), they didn't have peppers year round. Whenever they could get their hands on hot peppers, they would make a cut in the peppers, place them in boiling water with salt, and remove immediately. The peppers would turn yellow, giving them the appearance of being pickled. After cooling them off, the peppers would be replaced in the water, and then garlic, mint, and a quarter teaspoon of lemon (duze) powder would be added. By the time the Zerzevetov Pilav would cook, you would have pickled hot peppers to serve with it.
Zerzevetov Pilav has been a constant part of our family's diet. It's a dish that was created by the women of Musa Ler, who used the vegetables that came from the soil of their ancestors to prepare a healthy meal for their families. Generations later, it is still being prepared by Armenian families.
Armenuhi's Zerzevetov Pilav
2 potatoes
2 zucchinis
2 tomatoes
500 grams green beans
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup large bulgur
100 grams oil
100 grams butter
1 beef cube
2-3 cups of water
Salt to taste
Bring the green beans to a boil in 2-3 cups of water in a large pot for a few minutes and then add the remaining vegetables, which have been cut into small cubes. As soon as the vegetables come to a boil, add the bulgur, oil, butter and beef cube.
Turn the heat down and simmer for 30-40 minutes. Once the water has evaporated, you will have a tender and delicious rice dish. Add salt to taste.
Serve this dish with pickled hot peppers and homemade yogurt.

Jay Horowitz is best known for being the longtime public relations director for the New York Mets. But he has a secret hobby that until now only those closest to him knew about: buttdialing.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Mr. Horowitz has become the "Barry Bonds of Buttdialing," making thousands of accidental calls over his tenure at the Mets. He'll call players when they're on the field; he'll call coworkers at 4am. Even when players abscond to other MLB teams, Mr. Horowitz's buttdialing follows them.
"I swear to God, I don't know how I do it," Mr. Horwitz told the Journal. "I'm not real mechanical."
Mr. Horowitz carries around a BlackBerry with a screen he refuses to lock. Since he's worked for the Mets since 1980, his phone book is full of high profile people in the MLB–a thousand, he estimates–and each could receive a call from Mr. Horowitz's butt at anytime.
Quipped one player: "His butt's got a mind of its own."

Thousands of workers have protested in Rome and other Italian cities against planned spending cuts in the government's new budget.
The demonstrations took place on Friday alongside a nationwide strike, which has halted many transport services.
Unions say the spending cuts, especially to transport budgets, will bring more hardship in a country that has been badly affected by the global economic crisis of the last few years.
Other critics say that planned tax reforms do too little to make a difference.
Further anti-austerity protests are planned for Saturday, with unions expected to announce bigger demonstrations next week.
Deficit target
The government said its spending cuts would be good for Italy in the long run, and will to reduce the budget deficit.
"We have to work our way out of the crisis one step at a time," Prime Minister Enrico Letta said. "This is a budget that for the first time in many years does not cut health spending or social services, and above all lowers taxes."
The budget, presented to the European Commission on Tuesday, has been met by a wave of criticism from all parties.
Many believe promises to cut payroll taxes are too timid, and that Letta lacks the political courage to take more decisive steps.
Letta and Italy's economy minister, Fabrizio Saccomanni, have stressed they would welcome budget amendments.
But the political tensions and the government's weakness could mean budget amendments for larger and unfunded tax cuts, which would pose a threat to the goal of keeping the deficit below the EU's ceiling of 3 percent.
