For a central hotel in Barcelona, great value but with a high standard

The hotel is located in a great location very close to the subway and touristy areas. It is a short walk to many different great restaurants around the area. The staff is really nice and helpful and the hotel is modern and clean. A great place to stay when in Barcelona!

I rarely stay in Hotels in barcelona given that the short term apartment rental market is a great option. Positive comments: he hotel is very central and a nice place for first time visitors, staff is very friendly, room service is very reasonably priced, rooms are clean, can be on the dark side unless you get a city room with several windows. Negative comments: cleanign service (not hotel staff) is very noisy, if you want to sleep in you won't have much luck. The walls are very thin, you hear the slamming doors and beds being moved around to clean. Wifi is not free, even in the lobby. The pool/terrace is much smaller than the image you see on the internet. Overall a nice hotel, but not sure I would stay again given the noise.Review by: Anonymous

Stayed here with our adult daughter for 3 nights in a Master Suite which had plenty of room. All staff encountered were fantastic and extremely helpful. Spectacular roof top pool and bar were well used when the sun was out. Internet in the lobby was private and reasonably priced. Fruit and chocolates brought daily at 5pm and free mini bar was appreciated. Within 100 mtrs of hop on hop off bus and metro station and close to many reasonable restaurants and tourist sites.Review by: Anonymous

Right in front of the room is a big mobile telephone mast. Spain is not yet aware of the danger of these stuff and the fact that people are allergic for this. Also the room was very small. For EUR 50,- more we had the following day a wonderfull stay at Casa Fuster!Review by: Bas Filippini

Central as the name suggests but INCREDIBLY noisy. If you stay here make sure you are on a high floor, we were on the 2nd and all you could hear ALL night was the traffic (sirens!) and the underground trains beneath. Our Exec room was well done in a contemporary style but small and the hotel throughout is very dark. Service at reception good, at breakfast dreadful. Would we stay there again - no - 4/10 - could do better!Review by: Morag Norgan

Excellent hotel for business and pleasure located close to everything. Quite dark, but modern and tastefully decorated. Mindfull and knowledgeable staff that speaks excellent english. The chill down pool and roof top sun deck justifies a stay by themselves. Tastefull buffet breakfast, Internet connection, and minibar (non-alc) included in rate is encouraging in an era where you during any hotel stay wonder if you are going to be charged just for asking the front desk a question.Review by: Henning Nilsen

Police graduate's intervention saves woman from jumping
Posted on: October 30, 2012
As a former army combat medic, Kevin Lagatella is constantly, unconsciously alert.
Sometimes it still saves lives.
In August 2012 while the Tiki Island police officer and COM Police Academy graduate was driving home, he noticed a vehicle sitting on the side of the overpass, apparently having trouble.
"It looked peculiar," said Lagatella.
He doubled back to get a closer look and saw the driver on the ledge of the overpass.
"She was perched to jump," he said.
A trained negotiator, he attempted to calm her, but she remained on the ledge apparently still contemplating suicide.
After Texas City police officerincluding another COM graduate Capt. Brian Goetschius, arrived on the scene, one distracted her while Lagatella ran to her and pulled her off the ledge as she resisted. Texas City police officers spoke with her and took her to Ben Taub for a mental evaluation.
Fortunately in this situation, Lagatella is no stranger to handling stressful situations.
In addition his four years in the army, he also worked as a private security contractor in Iraq.
When he returned to the U.S., he looked for another action-packed public service role.
"You have to do something to feed the hunger," he said. "Doing what I did with action and constant adrenaline, police work is the closest thing to it."
He looked into several schools and chose COM Police Academy after being impressed by the instructors' expertise in their areas of law enforcement.
"The world of experience that comes from active instructors led me to go to the COM academy," he said.
Since graduating, he's had extensive training including SWAT, hostage negotiation and crisis intervention training.
For one woman, his vigilance and expertise made an impact.

Excellent. Most compact and it operates effectively from very long distances, unlike other dimmers. Also, seems to mate with only the intended light switches so you do not have one dimmer affecting multiple switches unless you program it that way.

Birds by name
Conservation status: Green
About the size of a kestrel with long pointed wings, reminiscent of a giant swift. It has a dashing flight and will chase large insects and small birds like swallows and martins. Prey is often caught in its talons and transferred to its beak in flight. Can accelerate rapidly in flight and is capable of high-speed aerial manoeuvres.
Falco subbuteo
Falcons and allies (Falconidae)
Now breeds across central, southern and eastern England, into S Wales and just about reaching northn England and S Scotland. Best looked for hunting over woodland edges, heathlands where there is plenty of large insect prey. Gravel pits are a popular feeding areas in late summer when there is plenty of food.
Arrives in the UK from April onwards and mainly leaves in September and October. Best looked for on warm summer days when there are plenty of dragonflies, summer chafers and other prey around.

GoDaddy NS related - one server two IP addresses

Hi Falko,
Thanks for the great articles, but honestly there are a couple of things that are still missing on my end. My GoDaddy account does not have "Total DNS Control", when I click on the domain, so I just follow the last part, which is to create NS1 and NS2 on the "Domain Host Summary" with the corresponsing 2 different IP address that is being pointed to the same server.
I'm still having problem in understanding on how to setup this nameserver on single server with 2 different IP address.
From what I can understand, this is the steps that I need to take:
1. Setup A (host) record for the domain to be used as a nameserver, which is ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com. I cannot do this step, because I don't see any option for this in my GoDaddy account, will it be a matter if I just start from step 2?
2. Setup domain host again on GoDaddy summary page, which I'm still not sure why we need to do it twice.
3. Change server setting in ISPConfig, under dns tab to have ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com to be the name server address.
That's all, right? Now I can just start using the nameserver for all my other domain, and all I need to do just setup a new site using any reseller account that I just created, and it will automatically create the DNS config and records for the current site domain, and all I need is to change the nameserver for that specific site to use ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com that I setup in the first place. Do I get this right? Will the new site domain automatically support email as well?
Thank you

Citizens praised for helping track down accused killer
By Judy Masterson firstname.lastname@example.com February 20, 2013 6:10PM
North Chicago Mayor Leon Rockingham talks about the arrest and charges of Jim McPherson, 21, who allegedly shot and killed 18-year-old Janay McFarlane, 18, in North Chicago last Friday. | Thomas Delany Jr.~ Sun-Times Media

Updated: March 22, 2013 10:30AM
NORTH CHICAGO — The man who has been charged with the murder of young mom Janay McFarlane was arrested soon after the crime was committed because witnesses provided crucial information.
Law enforcement officials who spoke during a press conference held at North Chicago City Hall on Wednesday praised citizens for coming forward.
"We're proud people got involved," said Police Chief James Jackson. "They cared. The message we want to send out to citizens is 'You can make a difference by working with us. We don't want the code of silence. We need your eyes and ears. We're going to do everything we can to work with you to bring anybody who crosses the line and does these horrendous acts to justice.'"
"It was the citizens of North Chicago who made this happen," said Mayor Leon Rockingham. "I commend them. This is what we need throughout our community."
Jim McPherson, 21, of North Chicago, was taken into custody just 30 minutes after McFarlane was struck in the head by a bullet as she walked in an alley off Jackson Street with two friends on the night of Feb. 15. McPherson's brother was also taken into custody, but has not been charged. Both Lake County State's Attorney Mike Nerheim and Jackson declined to give details of the investigation.
"Another person is being questioned," Jackson said. "We're still looking at all the evidence and information we're still receiving."
The victim's father, Herb McFarlane of Beach Park, who also spoke at the press conference, thanked Nerheim, Rockingham and CeaseFire, a violence prevention group that has been working to prevent retaliation for his daughter's death.
"But most of all, I want to thank the citizens of North Chicago," McFarlane said. "Without you guys I don't know if they would have caught who killed my child."
It's not unusual in North Chicago — where last year there were 19 incidents of aggravated battery by a firearm and one fatal shooting — for both victims and witnesses to give police the cold shoulder.
Jackson said circumstances were different this time.
"This was a tight-knit community and they knew the young lady," he said. "They were offended by what happened. It moved them. It didn't take much pushing on our end to elicit cooperation. They were there as soon as it happened, trying to give information and trying to be helpful and they were − the family included."
Herb McFarlane, who recently moved to Beach Park from Chicago, where Janay, who was in town visiting friends, still lived, said he had taken a call from her an hour before she was killed to discuss his plan to pick up his 3-month-old grandson, Janay's child. "She was calling to ask what time I was coming," he said. "The next call I got, she was gone."
McFarlane mused on gun violence in the suburbs.
"There's violence everywhere," he said, noting he moved out of Chicago "to get away from the violence, but the lesson I've learned (is) you can't just get away from it. But as a community we just have to keep sticking together or it will happen again.
"I will personally work with people to try to stop this from happening to other families," McFarlane said. "I don't want my child or no one else's child to die in vain."
Nerheim praised the Northern Illinois Regional Crime Lab and other law enforcement personnel and singled out North Chicago police investigators who worked through the weekend gathering and processing evidence. He also thanked the citizens of North Chicago.
"This case could not have been solved so quickly without a lot of people who stood up and helped police," he said. "Without their cooperation, without their help, this investigation could have taken a very different turn."

Kitesurfing Test - Boards 2013

Kitesurfing Test - Kites 2013
Best Cabo 9M
Kitesurfing travel directory
ONE Let go of the bar when you fall at 50 knots.
TWO Fear is useless. And makes you fall.
THREE Going down the run at 50 knots feels like riding a otorbike at 200km/h without a helmet on a gravel road. On my first 50 knot run I already knew it was fast but when I looked across and saw 50.6 on the counter I was so happy and relieved ? all the work, sacrifice and effort weren't for nothing.
FOUR Surfing Punta Preta in Cabo Verde with a 15 metre kite and a twin-tip in less than ten knots is a very bad idea.
FIVE Mistral winds can blow really strong. We got 62 knot gustson 3rd April 2008 at the last leg of the PKRA speed world cup event in France at my home spot of Port Saint-Louis.
SIX Going for a kite speed session in 60 knots is now possible.
SEVEN Always close every door and window in The Cape Reserve in Cape Town otherwise you'll lose all your post session sandwiches to the baboons.
EIGHT A meal is never cooked in less than an hour in a Namibian restaurant; it's written on the menu.
NINE Change your kite lines as soon as you start thinking about it.
TEN Muscles don't work without the brain.
ELEVEN There is no limit for excess luggage charges on planes. My record is €800... for 130kg!
TWELVE You don't need to be heavy to go fast in kite speed. In Luderitz this year there were competitors of all different builds and sizes, from 110kg down to a 12 year-old kid called Ozzy at 40kg. It's about having the speed spirit and you have to like going fast. In French it's what we call 'La Glisse'.
THIRTEEN Cape Town is the best place to train in winter. It would be even better if the water wasn't cold.
FOURTEEN Competition makes you stronger; you cannot progress alone.
FIFTEEN I hate the phrase 'Live fast, die young'!
OUTRO ? 29-year-old Alex Caizergues broke the elusive 50 knot world speed sailing record in October at the 2008 Luderitz Speed Challenge and is one of only three men ever to have broken that barrier under wind power. Seb Cattelan and Rob Douglas also broke 50 knots on the same day, but Alex holds the outright record at 50.6 knots. He lives in Port Saint-Louis in the south of France and is spending the winter training in Cape Town, South Africa. Catch him at: www.alexcaizergues.com

Dubai Travel Guide
Dubai Local History
Archaelogical fnds suggest that the area was inhabited since 3000BC and the Bronze Age Magan civilisation, who were renowned for trading were some of the first inhabitants of the Dubai area. In the 6th cenury AD the Umayyads made Dubai their new home and brought Islam to the area. The tribe established more trade routes with China, bringing silks and porcelain to trade with the European and Middle Eastern markets.
The British gained control of Dubai's waterways in 1766 and expanded the areas pearl trade. The Bani Yas tribe moved in on Dubai in 1833 and founded the Al Maktoum Dynasty which still rules Dubai today. In 1966 oil was discovered and five years later Dubai became the seventh emirate in the UAE.

Okay, okay...he may not be burning up like Kobe does when he wants to, but there is very little you could complain about his play over the past 9 or so games. In fact he has gone from one of the least favorite coming into the season to one of the favorites over the past month. He has inserted himself into the starting unit with skill without disrupting the increasingly stable starting 5.
How has he managed to change his ugly shot jacking identity to a well rounded starting shooting guard who seems to hit all the timely shots that this Suns team needs down the stretch. According to the coaching staff and Brown it has really just him becoming acclimated to the openness of the Phoenix Suns system.
When he was on the Lakers he was forced to backup The Black Mamba, and lets be honest, he didn't get all that much leading scorer type playing time. Not to mention he was in the triangle under one of the best, but most rigid, coaches this league has ever seen in Phil Jackson.
With this new found freedom he has found himself feeling obligated to shoot the ball anytime he would get possession, even when he new he was doubled or in a poor position to get to the basket. This led to a ton of well contested poorly executed shots and an bucket of turnovers because of some his shortcomings.
In the first half of the season we saw almost all of Shannon Brown's weaknesses and virtually none of his strengths.
Poor ball-handler for position
Suffers from poor shot selection
Doesn't attack the rim
Not great at finding the open man.
Even with these major downsides he occasionally showed his abilities for brief moments. Well I can happily say that most of these problems have been left behind. With the exception of his ball handling he has cleaned up the other three problems, he is now arguably the best transition player we have as well as second best cutter, behind Chilly, in my opinion.
When he is playing well he reminds me a lot of Jason Richardson with better defensive sensibilities. His success will be our success down the stretch so it's good to see him hit his stride now. Let's take a look at his fantastic past 9 games!
17.3 pts/gm
4.4 rbs/gm
2.2 ast/gm
So as you can see those numbers reflect what seems like a settled in more mature Shannon Brown then we saw early on in the year. If he continues this level of play this Suns team will resemble the Western Conference Finals team two years ago!
So cheers to you Shannon Brown!

Christopher Wren's London BuildingsWednesday, April 29th, 2009
If asked to name a Sir Christopher Wren building - most of us would get as far as St Paul's cathedral and then be stumped. It's astounding quite how prolific Wren was - more than 89 buildings are attributed to him, and when you consider the scale of some of these buildings, that's no mean feat. St Paul's took more than 30 years to complete, and by the end of the construction Wren was 76 and being hoisted up in a basket to inspect the building works. (more…)

ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A northeast Nevada man who was arrested on suspicion of felony drunk driving minutes after filing his candidacy for county sheriff has dropped out of the race.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports that Ronald William Rylander voluntarily withdrew his candidacy on Tuesday.
Rylander is 51. He wasn't available for comment. He remains in the Elko County jail following his March 13 arrest near the Elko County Courthouse on a third-offense DUI charge. Criminal charges had not yet been filed.
Police say a breath test found Rylander's blood-alcohol level was .091 percent. The legal limit for drivers in Nevada is .08 percent.
Rylander has had previous run-ins with authorities, including a misdemeanor disturbing the peace conviction after he was accused of making repeated non-emergency 911 calls.

In a collaboration between the Education Anchor and Africa Education unit, the World Bank held a technical workshop on Improving Teacher Management Systems in Challenging Situations in Nairobi, Kenya on February 17-19. The workshop brought together representatives from Sub-Saharan Africa countries to discuss teacher policy and management and the challenges confronting fragile and conflict-affected countries.
The objectives for the 3 day workshop were twofold: (i) to provide a forum for these countries to share experiences in teacher management and gain knowledge in areas such as teacher deployment and development, human resource management, and school level supervision; and (ii) to foster both immediate and longer-term cross-country knowledge exchange on teacher management and policy issues, including multi-grade instruction, teacher deployment and certification and integration of community teachers.
Workshop participants came from a range of Ministries of Education in Eritrea, Liberia, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Kenya, the host country was represented by the University of Nairobi Department of Education, which is setting up a new Masters Program in Education in Emergencies. Donor participants came from the European Union, DFID, USAID, UNICEF and the Fast Track Initiative. The International Rescue Committee and the trade union movement in Zimbabwe represented Civil Society.
The Workshop was structured around four themes:
The representatives identified a point person to carry forwards discussion on possible interventions that will help address one or two issues identified by each country. Once there is agreement on possible follow-up activities, the Bank team will work with each country team to take this forward.
Access the full report giving an overview on the workshop.

For me, its more about the process rather than the end result. However, its always cooler when you come away with something beautiful.

I'm Federal Air Marshal and I found my identity from TSA's HD

From USA Today article:
"If that information is out there, it's very easy to find out who they are," said John Adler, executive vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, whose members include air marshals. Adler said terrorists could use personnel information to find where air marshals live, photograph them and disseminate the photos.
This is really serious now.
The subject could be "I'm Federal Air Marshal and I bought my identity from TSA's HD" as well.

|IVF Implantation Failure
IVF Implantation Failure
No area of in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been as misunderstood as implantation failure. Implantation failure is defined as the failure of an embryo to implant during an IVF cycle. Because of the desperation of couples attempting to conceive a child and the profound lack of knowledge about this complex area, many snake oil salesmen have emerged and spread their misinformation around the internet, much to the detriment of the couples trying their "magic potions".
Difficulty arises in studying implantation failure due to the fact that not all scientists agree on a definition. Some doctors will call failure of a single in vitro fertilization cycle implantation failure. Others maintain that it is not implantation failure until a couple has failed to achieve pregnancy despite several in vitro fertilization failures. Still others look at the total number of embryos transferred as opposed to the number of treatment attempts. There are also many exceptions that have to be considered. For example, can a couple be said to have implantation failure if they have a history of a previous successful pregnancy? What about women with a tubal pregnancy? There is much that needs to be learned about human embryo implantation.
Implantation failure can be divided into three areas: Problems with the embryos, problems with the "host uterus" and problems in the interaction between the embryo and uterus.
How can you identify the best embryos?
Many IVF programs still perform embryo transfers three days after the egg retrieval. This is known as a cleavage stage or day three embryo transfer. After only three days in laboratory culture, the embryos have typically divided into six or eight cells. It is difficult, at this point in embryo development, to accurately predict which embryos have the best developmental potential.
To understand this concept, consider a race in which the participants run five laps around a track. If you were to try to predict the winner of the race after the second or third lap, you might guess correctly but often you will not. Occasionally, the early leaders will tire out or some runners who may have started out slowly demonstrate a great "kick" at the end.
During IVF, evaluation of embryos works the same way. Some embryos which look great on day three stop developing or develop poorly over the next two days. Alternatively, embryos which didn't appear to be the best on day three will improve and become very high quality embryos by day five.
Several studies in the past few years have determined that blastocyst transfer is a viable method for improving the chance for IVF implantation. In fact, the combined data from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that at every age group, the chance for IVF implantation is higher with a day five transfer than a day three transfer.
Even embryos that have developed to the blastocyst stage may not be normal. In fact, a high percentage of embryos, including blastocysts, have abnormalities in the number of chromosomes. These abnormalities, called aneuploidies, will usually result in an embryo that will fail to implant. when they do implant, most will miscarry. The ones that don't miscarry produce babies with birth defects.
Studies have shown that transferring embryos with the correct number of chromosomes will increase the chance of impantation considerably.
Where is the best place to transfer an embryo?
Those familiar with the history of in vitro fertilization know that, at one time, transferring eggs, sperm or embryos into the fallopian tube during laparoscopy was a popular technique. The theory was that the fallopian tube, which is the normal biological site for fertilization and early embryo development, may present a special environment that allows these events to occur more readily than in the uterus or in vitro fertilization laboratory. These techniques were known as GIFT, gamete intrafallopian transfer, and ZIFT, zygote intrafallopian transfer. Several early studies seemed to indicate that the pregnancy rates were better when GIFT or ZIFT were performed compared to standard IVF during which embryos were transferred into the uterus directly. It took several years until well designed studies were able to prove that GIFT and ZIFT were no better at producing a pregnancy than standard IVF.
Recently, the debate re-emerged as some maintained that GIFT or ZIFT may be superior for couples with IVF implantation failure. However, in 2005, a group from Israel studied couples with IVF implantation failure by dividing them into two groups. One group simply repeated a standard in vitro fertilization cycle. The second group underwent a treatment cycle using ZIFT. The results indicated that there was no difference in the implantation rate or pregnancy rate between the two methods. Thus, transferring embryos into the fallopian tube is not an effective treatment for implantation failure.
What is the best time to transfer embryos in an IVF cycle?
In order for an embryo to implant, the embryo must reach the correct stage of development at the same time that the uterine lining has become "receptive". Abnormalities in either of or both of these processes can lead to failed implantation. For example, an embryo that develops too slowly may miss the window of implantation. Recently, using sophisticated endometrial receptivity arrays, scientists have shown that some women may have their window of implantation shifted to an earlier or a lter time. In these women, even if the embryo develops normally, it may not meet a receptive endometrium when implantation is possible.
A growing area of study have shown that during the stimulation of the ovaries for an IVF cycle, the higher than normal hormone levels may shift the window of implantation to an earlier time - before the embryos have developed sufficiently to implant. For this reason, there is a growing movement to transfer embryos on frozen cycles so the embryos and the uterine lining can be more precisely synchronized.
Assisted Hatching
Before an embryo can implant in the lining of the uterine cavity, it must first break out or "hatch" from the shell that surrounds it. This allows the embryo to come into direct contact with the cells of the uterine lining. This shell around the embryo is called the zona pellucida. It has been thought by some researchers that IVF implantation may fail in some cases because of the inability of the embryo to hatch out of the zona pellucida. Furthermore, some studies seemed to show that if the hatching process was assisted by creating an artificial opening or thinning of the zona pellucida, the chances for IVF implantation could be increased.
Assisted hatching was first performed in the early 1990s. Many different variations of the original technique have been described. However, to this day, the effectiveness of assisted hatching remains controversial. Several well designed randomized controlled studies have been published which have attempted to prove whether assisted hatching improves the chance for IVF implantation. The results have been mixed. Roughly one half of the studies showed an improvement in the IVF implantation rate while the other one half showed no improvement. In some cases, the groups that were subjected to assisted hatching techniques, had lower implantation rates.
There does appear to be some risks associated with assisted hatching. The zona pellucida helps protect the integrity of the embryo during early embryo development. By removing the zona pellucida, the embryo may have a greater chance of splitting. In fact, studies have shown an increase in the rate of identical twinning when assisted hatching is used. Identical twinning carries greater risks to the babies than fraternal twinning. A published report has also noted a case of Siamese twinning that occurred after assisted hatching.
At the current time, assisted hatching must be viewed as an uncertain method to treat IVF implantation failure.
Uterine infection
The inside of the uterine cavity is normally considered to be a sterile environment. It has been strongly suspected that infection of the uterine cavity with bacteria may cause an inhospitable environment that would lead to failure of embryos to implant. A recent study in IVF patients suggested that toxins in the uterus from current or previous infections had an adverse impact on implantation.
The problem is in trying to determine who has an infection, which infections are important to treat and what the best method is for trying to treat them. Many physicians attempt to obtain uterine cavity samples by passing a thin catheter through the vagina and cervix and into the uterine cavity. This method is problematic, however, because the specimens can be contaminated with bacteria from the vagina and cervix and lead to over diagnosis.
Some physicians prefer to treat all patients with antibiotics without performing testing for infection. Aside from the occasional allergic reaction to the antibiotics, it is unknown whether the antibiotic being given is the correct one or whether the infection has been eradicated.
At best, treating for presumed intrauterine infections is uncertain as a method to increase the chances for IVF implantation.
Immune factors as a cause for IVF implantation failure
The immune system is designed to protect individuals from infection with microorganisms and to fight off abnormal processes in the body like cancer. On occasion, the immune system can malfunction and cause harm to an individual through a variety of different mechanisms.
In the areas of IVF, infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, there has been an extensive amount of investigation as to the role of immune factors in the reproductive process. Unfortunately, many of these studies have been poorly performed and this has led to many erroneous conclusions. A review of some of the areas that have been looked at follows:
Anti-phospholipid antibodies (APA)
Anti-phospholipid antibodies (APA) are a group of antibodies that react with negatively charged phospholipids. Phospholipids are a structural component of cells. These antibodies include anti-cardiolipin antibody; lupus anticoagulant; antibodies to phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine; and antibodies to the cofactor alpha-2- glycoprotein I. Anti-phospholipid antibodies have been extensively studied for their relationship to couples with recurrent miscarriage. There is good scientific evidence that lupus anticoagulant and anti-cardiolipin antibodies are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. There is very little evidence that other anti-phospholipid antibodies are associated with an increased miscarriage risk. By definition, a miscarriage is a pregnancy that is lost after implantation. It is difficult to understand, how the same antibody can allow implantation frequently in couples with recurrent miscarriage but prevent implantation in those with infertility. It is obvious that we don't have the complete story yet.
A few years ago, a large study was conducted in couples going through in vitro fertilization at a large IVF program in the United States. Before the treatment was started, the females had blood drawn to look at a large number of different anti-phospholipid antibodies. The blood was sent to a lab which was very experienced in studying blood for anti-phospholipid antibodies. After the in vitro fertilization cycles were completed, the results of the antibody testing were released. In this way, neither the physicians nor the patients could be influenced in how they performed the in vitro fertilization cycle since they did not know the results of the antibody testing. The results showed conclusively that, the presence of high levels of anti-phospholipid antibodies did not influence the chance for embryo implantation. Stated another way, the implantation rate was the same whether women had high levels, low levels or undetectable amounts of anti-phospholipid antibodies.
The quality of medical evidence against a role of anti-phospholipid antibodies in implantation failure is so strong that it is considered unethical to obtain these tests in women with implantation failure unless it is part of a research protocol. In fact, the Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine has concluded that "the assessment of APA is not indicated among couples undergoing IVF. Therapy is not justified on the basis of existing data."
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA)
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are those antibodies that interact with the nucleus of cells. Some studies have found a possible association with elevated levels of antinuclear antibodies and reproductive problems. Anti-nuclear antibodies may be elevated in a wide spectrum of different immunological problems. One problem encountered in the evaluation of antinuclear antibodies is that elevations can be found in approximately one in ten normally fertile women.
To date, there have been no studies which have linked anti-nuclear antibodies with implantation failure. Obtaining them is not recommended.
Antibodies to alpha-2 glycoprotein 1
Antibodies to alpha-2 glycoprotein-1 have been investigated for their effects on implantation in very few studies. There are no randomized prospective trials. At his time, this must be considered an experimental test for implantation failure.
Anti-Thyroid Antibodies
Some individuals have high levels of antibodies to the thyroid gland in their blood. These individuals are at greater risk for developing problems with their thyroid gland such as hypothyroidism (an under active thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid). There is some evidence that women with this problem may be at higher risk for miscarriage. This has led to the assumption that there may be a greater risk of IVF failure in these women.
A recent study of over 600 women going through in vitro fertilization identified 13% with anti-thyroid antibodies . These women were compared to the remaining 87% who did not have elevated levels. There was no difference in the pregnancy rate between the two groups. Thus, anti-thyroid antibodies are not associated with implantation failure.
Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells, CD56 Cells)
In addition to antibodies, there are a number of different types of cells that participate in the immune system. These cells are distinguished by structures on their surface. Natural killer cells are identified by the surface marker known as CD56.
There are reasons to suspect that uterine NK cells may be involved in reproduction. NK cells are the dominant type of immune cell in the uterine lining during formation of the placenta. These uterine NK cells are also present in the uterine lining of non-pregnant women. After ovulation, for example, uterine NK cells divide and replicate so rapidly that they eventually account for about 1/3 of the cells present in the uterine lining at that time. Uterine NK cells accumulate in large numbers at the embryo's implantation site.
Furthermore, uterine NK cells come in close contact with the cells of the placenta called the trophoblast. These placental trophoblast cells are important for transforming the arteries in the uterus into a type that will accommodate the high blood flow necessary to support a developing fetus.
However, although uterine NK cells are in close proximity to important reproductive events, the function of these cells is completely unknown. In addition, it is important to realize that uterine NK cells are completely different in how they look and act compared to NK cells that circulate in the blood.
Based on the assumed similarities between NK cells in blood and uterine NK cells, it has become increasingly common for physicians to measure NK cells using blood tests in women with infertility and recurrent miscarriage. These blood tests are obtained based on the assumption that women with recurrent miscarriage and infertility also have abnormalities in uterine NK cell function. However, examination of blood NK cells is not representative of their cousins in the uterus.
There are more problems associated with the measurement of blood NK cells. The percentage of NK cells in blood in normal healthy individuals varies from 5% to 29%. Despite this well known fact, a finding of more than 12% NK cells in women with infertility or miscarriage has been arbitrarily defined as abnormal. The percentage of NK cells in the blood can be affected by many factors including sex, ethnicity, stress, and age, but there is no indication that concentrations in the upper end of the normal range are ever harmful.
Some physicians have come up with more elaborate ways to try to prove that blood NK cells are associated with reproductive problems. Physicians have attempted to measure the activity of blood NK cell by a using a wide range of tests. Consistency is a major problem with these test and the results will vary significantly in different laboratories. The most commonly used test of NK cell activity is called a cytotoxicity assay. This measure the ability of NK cells to kill other cells in a laboratory setting. The unproven assumption is that if blood NK cells are efficient at killing other cells in a test tube then, uterine NK cells must do the same thing in the uterus. Despite the limitations of this type of testing, there is little correlation between the cytotoxicity of uterine NK cells and blood NK cells.
Attempts have also been made to compare the number of NK cells in the non-pregnant uterine lining of women with recurrent miscarriage or infertility with that of women with normal fertility. Since the number of uterine NK cells changes rapidly after ovulation, precise timing is necessary to avoid miscalculation of the results. In other words, comparing uterine NK cell numbers in a woman 5 days after ovulation may give much different results than a woman who is 6 days after ovulation. Uterine NK cells must be obtained by performing a biopsy of the uterine lining. However, since the density of NK cells throughout the uterine lining varies, a "deep" biopsy will give different results than a "shallow" biopsy. It is impossible to measure the depth of the biopsy in a living uterus. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to determine whether a given patient with implantation failure or miscarriage has an "elevated number" of NK cells in the uterine lining compared to a woman without these problems.
Because of the technical limitations described above, studies attempting to demonstrate a correlation between NK cells and implantation failure produce wildly inaccurate and potentially misleading results.
Women with implantation failure are being given treatments such as steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to "cure" their problem with elevated NK cells. Neither steroids nor the other treatments being offered to women with "raised" levels of NK cells in blood have been approved by the FDA for use in implantation failure. More importantly, the studies involving these treatments have concluded there is no therapeutic benefit to their use. For example, a large Canadian randomized controlled trial found no benefit to the use of IVIG. There are risks to these treatments and some, such as IVIG, are very expensive.
Thrombophilias are conditions that result in an increased chance for blood clotting. There have been many studies showing an association between the presence of thrombophilias in women and the risk for miscarriage. Because of this evidence, some have hypothesized that there may also be a link to implantation failure.
Data here is lacking. In an initial study in 2001, Italian researchers concluded that two genetic mutations causing thrombophilias were more commonly seen in women with repeated in vitro fertilization implantation failure. However, of the 18 women studied, almost half had recurrent miscarriage and not implantation failure. Subsequently, a much larger study involving 234 women who failed to achieve pregnancy with in vitro fertilization, did not find any difference in the incidence of thrombophilias.
Empiric use of anticoagulants for implantation failure
Despite the lack of data supporting a role for APA or thrombophilias in implantation failure, there has been widespread use of the anti-coagulants heparin and aspirin for women with IVF implantation failure, with varying results.
The best study to date was published in 2004 in a well respected journal called Fertility and Sterility. In this study, couples with implantation failure who had at least ten embryos transferred without a pregnancy were enrolled. Each couple was randomly assigned to receive either heparin and aspirin or a phony or placebo. Neither the patients nor the doctors knew who were receiving the real treatment or the phony. The study failed to find any difference in the number of positive pregnancy tests, fetal heart beats on ultrasound or live birth rates per embryo transferred. In other words, there was no difference in the chance for implantation. Given the high quality of this study, it is considered unethical to administer heparin and aspirin for implantation failure, unless it is part of a study protocol.
