I need a way to have an intermediate page shown when I´ve saved a model in django admin.
What I want to accomplish is after "saving" a model, show a page with all the attributes of the model lined up and then have a button that says
save. That meant that I showed the settings print view before actually saving the model but I need the model to validate first now.
Its like the way that the "delete model" action is implemented. I just can´t seem to find out where to start looking though.
I´ve started looking in the
django.contrib.admin.options.py for the
response_change and
response_add methods. Not sure how to override them though. And its only needed for one specific model so its not generic. Also I´ve discovered the list of templates in the Class ModelAdmin. Still not sure about how to proceed without hacking the admin to bits.
Edit 2: Added my working solution down below.

Mavs Game Night: Deron in Dallas with His Brooklyn Nets
As spring nears its way it means the summer will follow soon after. A summer ago the Dallas Mavericks played some baseball and unfortunately they struck out when it was their turn to bat. The Mavericks opted for cap room in 2011 rather than bringing back an aging group which won the franchise's lone championship….

The feds didn't forget his help, though. His lawyers won a reduction in his sentence based on his snitching. In March 2006, a judge cut his sentence to 20 months.
It still wasn't easy to bear. The cocky young coke-runner had to forfeit millions in cash and his freedom. Even though they were divorced, Maria helped him weather the storm. "We don't love each other like a man and a woman, but platonically we still do love each other," Maria says. "I am his guardian angel and vice versa."
After a few weeks in prison, López called Maria. "I should have run. I never should have turned myself in," he said.
"Andrés, if you run, it's forever. You'll never see your sons again," Maria replied. "This isn't forever. This is a few years, and then you're free, you've paid your debts. Then maybe, if you're lucky, you can figure out what to do with the rest of your life."
López arrives in a new Range Rover for a recent interview at a Brickell breakfast joint. He is inconspicuously clad in a T-shirt, gym shorts, and a plain, blue baseball cap. Though friends regularly caution López he should consider hiring bodyguards, he casually strolls in alone.
He says he doesn't spend any time worrying about his security.
"I'm not thinking, Oh, such and such from my past is going to come and get me. I'm at peace with my own self," he says, digging into a huge plate of corned beef, fried eggs, bacon, and pancakes. "I'm relaxed. I don't look to the past at what things have happened. I'm trying to live my life as a regular person."
Besides, he says, "everyone I write about is either dead or in jail." (Fernando Henao, his best friend in the cartels, was sentenced to 19 years in prison in the U.S. District Court of Southern New York in 2005. He pleaded guilty, but López was prepared to testify against him.)
López's comfortable new life was far from a certainty when he walked out of the downtown federal prison four years ago. He was broke, unemployed, and forever severed from his life as a top-flight coke dealer. But he hadn't spent his jail time idly.
For 14 months in federal custody, López hoarded his scant daily allotment of paper and spent nearly every waking moment writing. He described his early entrance into the drug cartels, who got whacked, and who was a snitch. He named names. "I had all these ghosts and demons in my mind," he says. "This was the only way to free them."
He had plenty of problems to work through in jail. For the first time since he was 13 years old and driving a stolen cab, he wasn't in charge. The worst moment, he says, was explaining to his two sons — then nine and ten years old — why he was behind bars. As they munched on Honey Buns and soda in a visitors room, Andrés explained: "I was bad, and so now I have to stay here for a while and wear this uniform."
López's writing sustained him through the months of tedium until his release in March 2007. Maria and his sons picked him up. He was ecstatic — but still unsure what to do with himself.
So he called Julio Sanchez Cristo, a radio host who broadcasts from Colombia's W Radio. Cristo put him in touch with a book firm. In 2008, months after his release from the federal prison, the book he'd scribbled behind bars was published in Colombia and Mexico.
In the unadorned language of an airport potboiler, El Cartel de los Sapos tells the true story of the rise and fall of Norte del Valle Cartel and Andrés's personal journey from cocaine cocinero to drug baron to snitch. The book has "everything: sex, power, drugs, money. Everything," recalls Viola, the ICE agent.
But López's lawyer, Cardeñas, wasn't sanguine when it was released. "I told him, 'Andrés, bro, you're signing your own death warrant with this.' "
The book spent most of 2008 as the number one seller in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and several other countries. In all, the volume sold more than 150,000 copies officially — a figure that translates to millions of copies in the streets considering the black market for books in the region.
"As a history of the cartel, I think it's really good," says Viola. "It's really well researched."
On June 4, 2008, Caracol Television debuted El Cartel, a show based on the book. The series tells the same basic tale of Andrés's rise and fall through the cartel. It's cast in the lurid tones of a telenovela, packed with over-the-top shouting matches, fistfights, and shootouts. Andrés's character, Martin, is played by Manolo Cardona, a heartthrob star with chiseled cheeks.
The show was a huge hit, earning some of the highest ratings in Colombian history. DVDs are now sold in 50 countries, and there's a waitlist to check them out at Miami-Dade Public Library. A sequel (made without López's support) has kept viewers hooked, and a full-length Spanish-language film is due out later this year starring Cardona and Tom Sizemore as a DEA agent.

Angela Del Toro is the fourth fictional character to use the name White Tiger in the comic book series published by Marvel Comics. Angela is the niece of the original White Tiger Hector Ayala and exists in Marvel's main shared universe, known as the Marvel Universe. The source of her powers is the Jade Tiger amulets she inherited from her uncle.
Publication history[edit]
In 2004, Angela Del Toro first appeared in the comic book Daredevil vol. 2 #58, written by Brian Michael Bendis and pencilled by Alex Maleev. Then Del Toro appeared in several issues of Daredevil vol. 2: #59, #67-70 and #77-79. She is depicted as an FBI agent amidst the accusations of Matt Murdock being Daredevil, and the arrest and eventual death of Hector Ayala who is the original White Tiger.
After becoming White Tiger, Del Toro received her own limited series in November 2006, written by Tamora Pierce and Timothy Liebe,[1][2] and pencilled by the French artist Phil Briones.[3] The trade paperback White Tiger: A Hero's Compulsion collects the six numeros of the series.[4]
In 2010, she also appeared in "Shadowland". After this event Angela Del Toro is no longer the White Tiger. The legacy has passed to Ava Ayala.[5]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Angela Del Toro is the heir to a heroic legacy that began with the Jade Tiger, a long-lost enchanted statue from the fabled kingdom of K'un-L'un. Broken into pieces, the statue's paws and head resurfaced in America, where the Sons of the Tiger wore them as amulets that enhanced their martial arts prowess. When the Sons disbanded, their discarded amulets were discovered by Angela's uncle, the young Hector Ayala, who transformed into the superhuman White Tiger through their power.[6]
Going back into action as the White Tiger, Hector was framed for murder and convicted despite the efforts of his lawyer, Matt Murdock. Ayala was shot dead trying to escape, shortly before evidence emerged that proved his innocence.[7][2]
Angela Del Toro, a Federal Agent, volunteered to participate in the ongoing FBI investigation of the suspected Daredevil Murdock. However, when Hector's amulets were handed down to her, an overwhelmed Angela asked Murdock to help her decide what to do with them. Knowing the terrible cost of the vigilante lifestyle — and having seen her own partner, agent Harold Driver, killed during the Daredevil investigation —, Angela wanted to know why anyone would ever play super-hero. She told Murdock she was willing to quit the FBI and abandon her case if he could answer her questions.[8]
Recognizing Angela's sincerity, Murdock challenged her to scale St. Catherine's Cathedral then engaged her in rooftop combat as Daredevil. Convinced of her ability, Murdock presented Angela with a final lesson by leading her to a robbery in progress. Subduing the robbers single-handedly, a proud Angela was touched by the awestruck gratitude of the shopkeeper she had rescued, and she finally began to understand her new calling. Shortly thereafter, Del Toro rescued Murdock from ex-crime lord Alexander Bont and his reluctant henchman Gladiator, beating Potter into submission.[9]
During the start of her career as a masked crime-fighter, Del Toro uncovers a government ID smuggling plot by Yakuza and a secret organization known as the Chaeyi, and starts work at 212 Security; a private bodyguard service. Tiger attempts to stop the activities of the two criminal organizations through various team-ups with fellow superheroes including Iron Fist/Daredevil (2.0), Luke Cage, Spider-Man, and Black Widow often facing off against King Cobra and the Yakuza that killed her partner. After ending the relationship between the Yakuza and Chaeyi, the leader of Chaeyi vows to get revenge against the White Tiger and enlists the help of Omega Red.[10]
Angela is later slain by Lady Bullseye and resurrected as a Hand assassin (in the manner of Elektra Natchios).[11] Later, she is cured of the Hand's black magic by Black Tarantula, and joins Daredevil and Black Tarantula working within the Hand itself.[12][13] Angela showed much doubt about what they are doing as members of the Hand.[14]
Daredevil appointed Angela one of the five Daimyo' of the Hand presiding over North America[15] and brought her with him to the Daimyo's summit in Japan where she and Bakuto, the Daimyo of South America, immediately come to odds, but Matt stops them before they fight. Angela takes every opportunity to blame Bakuto for their problems in Japan. It was also revealed that Angela is still under the corrupting influence of the Hand.[16][17][18]
When New York was in crisis, White Tiger informed Black Tarantula to execute looters; he becomes confused and sees that something is wrong with Daredevil. However, White Tiger was still possessed by the Hand, and stabbed Black Tarantula in his back with the blade, tossing him over the edge to fall into a vehicle, leaving him for dead.[19]
Powers and abilities[edit]
The White Tiger amulets augment Angela's strength, speed, stamina, agility, dexterity, reflexes and reactions, coordination, balance, and endurance to slightly superhuman levels, and also endow her with formidable martial arts skills. The amulets may also enhance Angela's recuperative powers, as they apparently did with Hector. She also has the ability to blend in with her surroundings, using the amulets to camouflage herself (however, this only works when she wears her costume, as the amulets does not affect her normal clothing).
Angela is also a trained investigator, a good shot with firearms and an experienced unarmed combatant.
Other versions[edit]
House Of M[edit]
Angela appears as part of Luke Cage's underground human resistance in the House of M crossover. When the Sentinels attack, she is one of the members who didn't get teleported out by Cloak. It is revealed that she joined Luke's "Avengers" early on and received the amulet when it was sent to her through the mail by Hector Ayala.[20]

Bazzak Hair Salon's new location?a 120-plus-year-old brownstone townhouse in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria?not only oozes charm and character but has also allowed the staff to expand its service menu. The team of American- and European-trained designers and master colorists has been caring for hair for more than 30 years, and also now can soften hands with soothing paraffin mani-pedis or calm the skin with an organic white-tea facial.
For their hair services, staffers still nourish locks with the natural and eco-friendly ingredients in Ren? Furterer and Priv? products, and specialize in adding face-framing accents or ombre highlights that, like a firefly falling asleep, slowly transition from light to dark.
For more than 15 years, owner Makda Kibour has presided over an artistic staff that boasts an aptitude for hair maintenance and fashions fetching looks and stunning styles elevated by an array of enticing extras. Snippists will consult with clients to forge proper beautifying services tailored to individuals, with cuts to frame faces, colors to highlight skin tones, or styles to complement shoulder-perched parrots.
This studio keeps a certain peace when it comes to the battle of the sexes—at least when competing for salon chairs. Stylists and barbers ferry each gender to separate areas of the studio—one side boasts a modern salon, the other lays claim to a barbershop. But no matter where clients sit, they receive the same level of attention. Stylists fashion women's hair into desired looks with cuts, color, and ornate origami folds. Barbers, meanwhile, put the finishing touch on men's appearances with straight edge hot lather shaves or beard and mustache trims.
Owner Walid Shaker has sharpened his shears at salons across America and Europe, making him a go-to for actors, models, politicians, and the paparazzi who follow them. Now out of his eponymous salon, Walid and his team of stylists craft elegant layers and highlight strands with products from high-end brands such as Kenra and Goldwell. Clients can also request a restorative deep-conditioning treatment, an elegant updo, or a Brazilian blowout to straighten frizzy strands.
Sometimes after you purchase a dapper new outfit, something is still missing. If shoppers find such an outfit at the Landmark Mall Macy's, they might go next door to Hair By Salam and discover that a sharp new haircut completes their look. The friendly stylists can add blow-dries and deep-conditioning treatments to cuts, or they can perform partial or full highlights or single-process color applications.

Another Lexus hybrid is coming, and it's coming soon. Remember that solid gold Lexus LF-Ch Concept we saw last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show? We referred to it as something of a deformed puffer fish with some nice Lincoln Concept C cues. Well guess what? It's a concept no more and it's coming to the Geneva Motor Show in just a few short weeks so that us and the rest of the automotive press can ooh, ah and head scratch in unison.
Pininfarina is celebrating its own 80th birthday, as well as Alfa Romeo's 100th, by unveiling a new concept at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The Pininfarina Spider show car is, naturally, a two-seat roadster based on Alfa Romeo mechanicals. It's intended to pay tribute to the longstanding relationship the design house has had with the Italian automaker throughout their histories.

Our company has remained strong because there are so many home and business owners that want to replace the standard, and mostly cheap, builder lights, which come on almost every home and business. How would you like to put the Phoenix wall sconce in place of the jelly jar, or a Mission cover model with Amber Mica lens to replace the brass and glass coach light that everyone else on the block has. What if your business could enhance the front with our Bistro design, which is the steaming cup of coffee, and get rid of that boring globe. The combinations we offer are many but you can submit a design for your unique look and statement as well. Southwest Ceramic Lighting has made a Walleye for an area of fishing lodges and the "peace" sign for someones tranquil back yard. We even enhanced a couples life with the Grapes light design, added top and bottom copper metal bands for accent, to go in their courtyard where they entertain on a regular basis.
We love making lights because the variety is pretty much unlimited and it is always changing and surprising. We love it even more when a person has been waiting to change their lights with something worthwhile and they find us.
If you are looking for Southwest lighting, designer lighting or lighting that fits your lifestyle and personality, then we are one of the most unique lighting stores that you will ever find. If you are in Albuquerque, come and visit us.
Wall Sconces-Dark Sky Lighting
Dark Sky Lighting: All of our wall sconces can be ordered as dark sky compliant. We keep the top solid instead of cutting it out for light going upward. The sconce is finished with your color choice. Many other subdivisions and municipalities are requiring that no light be seen from the front of the light either. In this case, we can add a contrasting day plate of brushed and sealed copper or stainless steel behind the design, so that during the day the design stands out but at night all you have is the light flowing downward. Please call for more details.
Visit our "Design Your Lighting" page to custom order your lights. You can also email us or call for orders or questions. 505-453-0630 email@example.com
All of our wall and ceiling lights are UL listed.

PRESERVING IS BACK, AND IT�S BETTER THAN EVER. Flavors are brighter, batch sizes are more flexible, and modern methods make the process safer and easier. Eating locally is on everybodys mind, and nothing is more local than Heirloom Salsa made from vine-fresh tomatoes or a quick batch of Ice-Box Berry Jam saved from the seasons last berries. Even beginners who never made peach jam or dill pickles in their grandmothers kitchens are eager to pick up preserving skills as a way to save money, extend the local harvest, and control the quality of preserved ingredients.
The step-by-step instructions in Put �em Up will have the most timid beginners filling their pantries and freezers with the preserved goodness of summer in no time. An extensive Techniques section includes complete how-to for every kind of preserving: refrigerating and freezing, air- and oven-drying, cold- and hot-pack canning, and pickling. And with recipe yields as small as a few pints or as large as several gallons, readers can easily choose recipes that work for the amount of produce and time at hand.
Real food advocate Sherri Brooks Vinton offers recipes with exciting flavor combinations to please contemporary palates and put preserved fruits and vegetables on dinner-party menus everywhere. Pickled Asparagus and Wasabi Beans are delicious additions to holiday relish trays; Sweet Pepper Marmalade perks up cool-weather roasts; and Berry Bourbon is an unexpected base for a warming cocktail.
The best versions of tried-and-true favorites are all here too. Bushels of fresh-picked apples are easily turned into applesauce, dried fruit rings, jelly, butter, or even brandy. Falling-off-the-vine tomatoes can be frozen whole, oven dried, canned, or made into a tangy marinara. Options for pickling cucumbers range from Bread and Butter Chips and Dill Spears to Asian Ice-Box Pickles. Something delicious for every pantry!

I'm sure there have been other threads like this but I feel this type of question always leads to answers that can be quite valuable. At what point during your AG career did the "bing" moment happen to you? What process change or equipment purchase supplied the feeling?
For me, it was water chemistry. Sanitation and the recipes were on point, but the water was off.

Grain mill. Yesterday was my first use of it and that brew sucked, but supposedly wheat is a biatch to work with, so I give myself the BOD on that one. Today, though... typical brew is 65-70% efficiency. Today after using my new grain mill I got 78% from crush alone. Next time I am going to try for a little finer crush and get even better efficiency.
The only thing more asinine than stupid rules is the enforcement of rules simply because they are the rules.Inhopsicated: A Beer BlogInhopsicated on Twitter
About 3 months into playing with water chemistry, realizing how much better it is to add salts to the mash and boil instead of before heating the strike water and sparge water. Overheat strike water and preheat mash tun, add water until desired strike temp, remove as much water as added, dough in, add salts. I've done much better hitting my target temp since and have far less heat loss through the mash.
I use all RO to do this, never bothered getting a water report but it takes 4 minutes for me to get 10 gallons from a water vending machine VS about 20 - 25 to filter it, costs $4. It would work the same if you prediluted all your water as well.
LMAO as I typed 'prediluted all your water'....probably shouldn't drink mead like it's beer.

Dr. finlay is the best primary care physician I have ever had. He is so kind and caring and never rushes me when I have issues to deal with. His Assistant Julie is so wonderful. I would highly recommend this Dr. To anyone.
I have waited up to an hour after my appointment. It takes an average of 15 minutes to answer the phone to make an appointment. they are very inconsiderate about your time. Getting an accurate diagnosis usually takes 3 visits.
My daughter saw this doctor for a follow-up after a hospitalization. He does not know any history of her but instead immediately jumped to conclusions and accused her of being a drug addict, drug seeker and/or an alcoholic! I am very dissapointed in this physician's bedside manner. He did not even try to find out what was wrong with her. He just said she needed to stop doing drugs! I can attest to the fact that she does not drink or do drugs. He may have had other patients in the past that are addicts, but to accuse someone without proof is beyond reprehensible!! Do not under any circumstances see this doctor!
Dr. Finlay does not listen and coded our appointment incorrectly. He would not correct the error or call us back, his office staff is rude and he is too arrogent to admit he made a mistake, and worse then that, he can't tell the difference between a sick patient and a well patient. Must not matter, because after all his incorrect coding put more money in his pocket.
For routine blood lab work Dr. Finlay deos not use Cigna Insurance lab work charge code. As result Patient must pay out of pocket for typical blood lab work such as cholestrol check. My lab work cost me over 500 dollar, and I have one of the best insurance with Cigna. I never ever paid for my yearly blood work in past 24 years. This was the only year in my entier life that I was charged for routine Blood Lab wrok. Insurance company requested his office to change the charge code, he refused.

The convention is an extravagant dog and pony show. The only item on the agenda that really matters is the pres. nomination.
You are correct in that the numbers on the ground of RP supporters is the deciding factor. Assuming that we do not have numbers to the extent necessary to simply get the things (Platform, VP, etc) we want (my guess is this will be the case but hopefully not) than what will happen is Romney et al will make promises to and pressure delegates in return for the only thing that matters at the convention-their votes- so that no wrinkles appear in his nomination process. The delegates/alternates must be prepared for this.
This is what occurred in 2008 and because of the particularities of the situation delegates/alternates cast their votes for McCain. The Republican establishment left the convention with the only thing that mattered to them- a united front
Nothing, in my opinion, warrants a repeat of this and giving a vote to Romney. Delegates must abstain (if that is the option on first ballot). If not, the entire process to get them there was meaningless.

8. A test apparatus for evaluating a measuring device for measuring a diffusion capacity of a person's lungs by measuring a change of concentration of a gas species in a mixture, when the mixture is inhaled and subsequently exhaled by a person, the test apparatus comprising:
means for receiving the mixture in a compartment;
means for circulating gas from the compartment back to the compartment through a circulation circuit; and
means for selectively reducing partial pressure of the gas species in the circulation circuit to a predetermined level.
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for evaluating an apparatus for measuring a diffusion capacity of a person's lungs.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,193,551 and 6,415,642 B1 describe a method and apparatus for calibrating an apparatus for measuring a diffusion capacity of a person's lungs.
Apparatuses for measuring a diffusion capacity of a person's lungs are known per se. In particular Oxygen diffusion is an important clinical measure. The rate of Oxygen diffusion from the lungs to the blood depends on diffusion capacity, and the difference between the Oxygen pressure in the blood and the alveolar space of the lungs. In clinical laboratories, lung diffusion capacity is usually measured for carbon monoxide (CO) instead of Oxygen. The reason is the very high affinity of CO for hemoglobine, which helps to keep the CO pressure in the capillary blood negligible small compared to the CO pressure in the alveolar space. Consequently, unlike the O2 diffusion capacity, the CO diffusion capacity (DLCO) can be determined non-invasively, because the pressure in the blood does not need to be measured. This is an important advantage in clinical routine. The membrane diffusion capacities DLO2 and DLCO appear to have comparable diagnostic values. Therefore, the use of CO as a test gas for measuring diffusion capacity has become standard clinical practice.
Various measurement techniques exist to measure DLCO, such as single breath, multiple breath, re-breathing and steady state methods. For many decades, the single breath (SB) technique has become the technique of choice in nearly all lung function departments and laboratories all over the word. SB machines are commercially available from several manufacturers. Good medical practice requires that these machines have to be maintained and kept in good conditions. So there is a strong need for proper devices to evaluate the machines, in an easy and uncomplicated manner (As used herein �evaluation� is any process that results in information about the operation of the DLCO measuring apparatus. Calibrating and testing are examples of �evaluating� as used herein).
Typically the procedure of a DLCO measurement with a SB machine is as follows. A person connected to the SB machine is ordered first to expire maximally so that a residual volume (V0, initial volume) remains in the lung, then immediate afterwards to inhale maximally. At the end of the volume inhaled (VI) the patient keeps his breath during a certain breath hold time (BHT). The lung volume at breath hold time is V0+VI. The breath hold time can be for example 10 seconds. During the inhalation phase the SB machine provides a gas mixture containing test gas components which the patient inhales into his lungs; the test gas components are CO and an inert reference gas (inert gas, IG) like He, Ne, or CH4, both with known, pre-adjusted, concentrations.
Once the patient has inhaled the gas mixture, the inertgas will be diluted by the residual volume of air mixture in the lungs that remains in the lungs all the time, while the CO, after dilution like the inert gas, and after diffusing to the bloodstream, is carried away by the bloodstream. Thus, in the lungs, the relative decrease of CO is greater then that of the inert gas IG. After the breath hold time the patient exhales, an alveolar sample of the exhaled gas is collected by the SB-machine where it is analysed for CO�and inert gas concentration.
This results in the quantitative measurements of diffusion capacity using the following considerations. Quantities VI, BHT, rCO and rIG are measured. rIG is the ratio of measurements of exhalation and inhalation concentration of the inert gas IG. rCO is the ratio of measurements of those concentrations of CO. VI is the inhaled/exhaled volume and BHT is the breath hold time. The condition for diffusion in the lung can then be stated as rCO<rIG<1. During the breath hold time CO disappears through diffusion through the membrane, and as a result its concentration decreases in time. Assuming that the lung consists of one single alveolar compartment, this decrease has an exponential shape because the disappearance rate is proportional to the concentration gradient across the membrane, and this is changing continuously.
DLCO is obtained from the measurement data as
where R is the gas constant and T is absolute temperature in the lung (for example 310 K), and �ln� refers to the Naperian logarithm.
Unfortunately the apparatus for measuring DLCO can malfunction, which can lead to erroneous DLCO results, for example when the determination of CO concentration, IG concentration or the volume VI suffered from errors. Therefore reliable computation of DLCO requires evaluating of the apparatus for measuring DLCO that uses the SB technique, to verify that it produces the correct results. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,193,551 and 6,415,642 describe this type of evaluating. Both devices uses a large-volume syringe (gas cylinder with piston) to simulate the volume and volume changes of the lungs. The mouth of the syringe is connected to the mouth connection of the SB apparatus under evaluation. The volume of the internal syringe space is changed manually by a technician in the same sequence as for the SB technique (as described above), including an inhalation phase, a breath holding phase, and an exhalation phase. Both these devices intentionally modify the concentrations of inert gas and CO in the exhaled gas mixture; in such a manner that the resulting concentrations satisfy the above-mentioned conditions for CO-diffusion.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,193,551 describes a calibration device using a syringe that is connected via a special purpose inter-space chamber with the SB-test machine. On some time before, a certain amount of the used inert gas is brought into the inter-space chamber. During the inhalation phase the gas mixture supplied by the machine (containing CO and inert gas) flows through the inter-space chamber into the syringe volume space, thereby taking up some of the inert gas initially present in the inter-space chamber. So, besides the volumetric dilution of the CO and inert gas, the inert gas is subjected to an additional increase. During the exhalation phase the gas in the syringe space is returned directly, without streaming through the inter-space chamber, to the evaluation machine. The resulting exhaled/inhaled concentration ratios then satisfy the condition rCO<rIG<1, signifying that CO-diffusion has validly been simulated. After analysis and subsequent calculations in the evaluation machine using a similar formula as equation (1), a DLCO-value can be predicted.
A critical point of this device is the precise prediction of the fractional reduction ratios rIG and rCO. These ratios depend on the precise amount of dilution in the inter-space chamber, which in turn will depend on the particular state of gas flow and convection in the inter-space chamber (be it plug flow, ideal mixing, or some intermediate state between). However, the document supplies no information how to predict these ratios from the dilution process. Assuming that the dilution process in the inner-space chamber behaves reproducibly, the resulting simulated DLCO value will be reproducible as well, which would make this device still useful as a relative DLCO calibrator.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,415,642 describes a calibration device using two syringes. The SB machine under evaluation is connected with the first syringe with which the inhalation phase is simulated. A short time before the start of the exhalation phase the other syringe is connected to the evaluation-machine. This second syringe has been filled with a test gas mixture containing CO and inert gas with precisely known concentrations that are carefully chosen so as to satisfy the condition rCO<rIG<1. In that case the SB machine can produces valid simulated DLCO values, useful for test- and calibration purposes.
In both patents the obtained DLCO-value depends on several parameters: the supplied inhaled volume, the CO and inert gas concentration in the machine gas mixture as well as in the required precision test gas mixture. This makes calibration complex and sensitive to errors in these parameters. Moreover, these calibrators can only be used for testing SB-equipment.
Among others it is an object of the invention to provide for easier and/or more accurate evaluation of a diffusion measuring apparatus.
A method and apparatus are provided according to the independent claims. A compartment is provided for receiving a gas mixture from the diffusion measuring apparatus. Gas from the compartment circulates from the compartment back to the compartment through a circulation circuit. Partial pressure of a gas species like CO is selectively reduced to a predetermined level in the circulation circuit (e.g. substantially to zero). Thus an accurate quantitative simulation of diffusion can be realized independent of other parameters by controlling the rate of flow through the circulation circuit.
These and other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments, using the following figures.
In operation a gas-flow is sucked out of compartment 4 through connection tube 6. This gas-flow is led through a canister 1 where the gas is dried (if necessary) and substantially all CO from the gas is eliminated (e.g. to less than 2% of its original partial pressure).
The gas passes to CO-sensor 12, which is optionally provided to measure concentration of CO-gas still remaining in the gas coming out of canister 1. The sensor only functions to test the effectiveness of the material in canister 1. When the CO-TS is functioning properly the concentration value of CO should be substantially zero. If not the material in canister 1 has lost its effectiveness after some time, this is indicated by sensor 12, so that the material can be replaced.
Pump 2 provides flow through conditioning unit 13. This flow is measured by means of a flow transducer 8. The measured flow is used as input for flow controller 9. Flow controller regulates the flow of pump 2 to a pre-set value. A control input 10 may be provided to set this value by hand or by means of software in a control computer (not shown). From pump 2, the gas is led back into the compartment 4 through output connection tube 7. Inside compartment 4 a fan 3 is provided to ensure of a proper mixing of the gas inside compartment 4.
An embodiment is shown wherein the compartment 4 is of type of which the volume can be changed. In the example shown in the figure, the volume can be changed by means of a servo-controlled piston, but alternatively compartment 4 may be partly or completely in the form of a bellows. The use of a compartment 4 with adjustable volume simulates breathing in and breathing out. In an embodiment a control computer (not shown) is provided to control the change of volume as a function of time. A sinusoidal volume cycle may be used for example, or any other volume as a function of time. By using a computer controlled patterns of changes these patterns of changes can be repeated accurately. The change of volume (indicated by arrows 5) can also be performed by hand if the quality of the desired pattern is less important. Trough a port 11 the CO-TS is connected to the device under evaluation 14.
A control computer (not shown) may be configured to control the flow through the canister in relation to the value of the volume space in order to mimic the dependency of DLCO of alveolar volume. If necessary flow controller 9 can be integrated in the control computer. The apparatus of
It should be appreciated that this form of simulation enables reliable evaluation of all types of CO diffusion measurement, including not only single breath measurement, but also the known multiple breath measurements, re-breathing and steady state methods to be used on patients breathing themselves or artificially ventilated. Preferably, a plurality of measurements is performed at different flow rates to obtain verification of the measurement for different diffusion capacity values. This can be realized by adjusting the flow rate in different measurements, using flow controller 9.
In general, diffusion capacity in the natural lung increases when the volume of the lung increases, because lung surface area increases. Therefore, it may be desirable to simulate a normalized diffusion capacity, which corresponds to a defined pattern of variation of diffusion capacity in correlation with volume of the lung. Simulation of measurements of such a normalized diffusion capacity can be realized by making flow controller 9 increase the flow rate when the volume of compartment 4 increases and vice versa. At each point in time a flow rate that is a predetermined function (e.g. a linear function) of the volume at that point of time may be set for example. Alternatively, both the volume changes and the flow rate may be controlled as predetermined functions of time. In this way, a more accurate evaluation of measurements of normalized diffusion capacity under natural breathing circumstances can be realized.
In this case a much simpler embodiment of the CO-TS can be used. The basics of this CO-TS are the same but a much simpler conditioning is used. In this set-up there are a first, second and third valve 19, 20, 21. The compartment 4 with piston can be connected to the device under test, output connection tube 7 or input connection tube 6 via first valve 19, second valve 20 and third valve 21, respectively. In most situations valve 19 is already incorporated in the device under test.
During phase I and phase II, the volume is connected to the device under test (first valve 19 open and second and third valves 20 and 21 closed). At the end of a simulated deep breath-in, first valve 19 is closed and third valve 21 is opened. Then a predefined amount of gas is squeezed out of the compartment 4, through the canister 1 into the volume space inside a bellows 17 by moving the piston in (Phase III-a). Thereafter, the third valve 21 is closed and second valve 20 is opened, and the same amount of air is sucked out from the space inside bellows 17 back into the volume space (number 4) by pulling the piston with the same amount (phase III-b). Then again second valve 20 is closed. Thereafter first valve 19 is opened, where after expiration follows (phase IV). This procedure must be performed within the time-window between closing and opening of first valve 19, e.g., by performing phases IIIa an IIIb during ten seconds, which corresponds to the duration that the air remains breathed in a SB experiment. The amount of gas that is led through the canister is again a measure for the DLCO. The inner volume of gas space of the cannister 1 and the connecting tubes 6 and 7 is preferably as small as possible. The volume of space inside bellows 17 is constructed such that it is as low as possible before Phase III-a is started. First valve 19 will be under control of the device under test. Second and third valves 20 and 21 can be one-way valves that open in response to a small pressure differential in one direction.
In the embodiment of
As will be appreciated the results of the measurements of both apparatus can be used to decide whether the apparatus functions properly.
In a further embodiment the results of such evaluation measurements can be compiled into a calibration factor or a calibration table to calibrate operating parameters of the apparatus for measuring DLCO. For example, output signals of a gas analyser in the apparatus for measuring DLCO could be calibrated directly, or as part of the overall apparatus for measuring DLCO, by determining calibration values that are needed to obtain a predicted DLCO value given a simulated diffusion capacity value realized with a flow rate used during calibration. This may be repeated for different flow rates in order to obtain a calibration table in the case of a non-linear response; but in some cases a single measurement may suffice to define a calibration factor.
Such calibration data may be programmed into the DLCO measurement apparatus for conversion of measurement results during subsequent use with one or more persons, for example during a predetermined time period (such as a day or a week). Alternatively, a written table for use by an operator may be generated for example.
In a further embodiment calibration data may be gathered for a variety of breathing conditions, so that breathing condition dependent corrections to computed DLCO values can be provided. In this way, no conditions need to be imposed on the way of breathing of the person under investigation. Thus for example, measurements are possible on a person that is unconscious or otherwise incapable of following instructions.
In a further alternative, the calibration may be performed for a single person at a time, the pattern of volume changes, setting flow rates, flow rate changes in correlation volume changes etc. until they correspond to those of the person under investigation.
