3038 to 3060 18th Avenue, Regina, Saskatchewan, S4T, Canada
1913/01/01 to 1913/12/31
Henderson Terrace is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the City of Regina. The two-storey, brick row houses, constructed in 1913, occupy a wedge-shaped site between 18th Avenue and Leopold Crescent, occupying 1400 square metres in the historic Crescents area of the city.
The heritage value of Henderson Terrace lies in its row house architecture, a unique form within Regina. The row of eight dwellings, attached as a single unit, differentiates this property in a city comprised at the time of mostly of single-family dwellings and apartment blocks. Symmetrical in appearance, the red brick terrace constructed in 1913 features sandstone detailing, open porches, and a gambrel roof. Influenced by contemporary English garden suburb developments, the terrace is situated amidst a neighbourhood of crescent streets, harmonizing with this context.
The heritage value of the property is also associated with Regina's development boom prior to the First World War. Especially during the half-decade prior to the War, real estate development surged due to the promotion and speculation of numerous developers, such as Charles G. Henderson, who developed the terrace. A contractor and partner in the firm of R & C.G. Henderson Real Estate, Henderson was responsible for the development for a sizable amount of residential development in Regina during this period.
Source:City of Regina Bylaw No. 7625.
The heritage value of Henderson Terrace resides in the following character-defining elements:-those elements that reflect the property's historic row house architecture, including its division into eight dwellings, each with individual exterior entrances marked by a shared, open porch; the symmetrical, two-storey plan with gambrel roof and shed roof dormer windows; red-brick exterior with sandstone sills; 6/1, double-hung, wooden sash windows; -those elements which associate it with the influence of English garden suburb type development, such as its original situation within the Crescents Area bordering Leopold Crescent;-those elements which associate the property with Regina's expansion prior to the First World War, including sandstone nameplate with 'HENDERSON TERRACE 1913' inscription.

I'm on the brink of quitting watching football. Really! It's not just about Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson or Roger Goodell. That's kind of the last straw. Frank DeFord offered an editorial on NPR's Morning Edition that reminded me of the concussion problem, and that fully a third of retired players are mentally impaired because of the repeated blows to the brain as that soft, delicate tissue keeps getting bounced into the skull.
I'm kind of an addict. Boss Tom reminds me that I shouldn't claim addiction, because the REAL addicts watch eight games at a time on Sundays and bet on all the games and yadda yadda yadda. I'm not that sick, but I'm sick enough to tape more than one pre-game talk show so I can hear what Chris Carter and Terry Bradshaw both have to say about things.

Do Equilibrium Real Business Cycle Theories Explain Post-War U.S. Business Cycles?Martin S. Eichenbaum, Kenneth J. Singleton
NBER Working Paper No. 1932 This paper presents and interprets some rw evidence on the validity of the Real Business Cycle approach to business cycle analysis. The analysis is conducted in the context of a nnetary business cycle model which makes explicit one potential link between monetary policy and real allocations. This model is used to interpret Granger causal relations between nominal and real aggregates. Perhaps the nost striking empirical finding is that money growth does not Granger cause output growth in the context of several multivariate VARs and for various sample periods during the post war period in the U.S. Several possible reconciliations of this finding with both real and monetary business cycles models are discussed. We find that it is difficult to reconcile our npirical results with the view that exogenous monetary shocks were an important independent source of variation in output growth.

When I was on vacation a few years ago I picked up a local paper and found a number of articles about the problems that area was facing because of illegal immigration. Predictably there was crime committed by the illegal immigrants, and a lot of hate towards them. For an American nothing there was unusual–except that I was in South Africa. Read more »

Pet-Aloe® K-9 Crumbles
A Dietary Supplement with Aloe Vera, Glucosamine & Yucca Schidigera
$4.99 Flat Rate | $70+ qualify for
Size: 1 lb (454 g)
Since 1996
Pet-Aloe® K-9 Crumbles was created 16 years ago as a result of a research grant at the University of Wisconsin to determine how much Pharm-Aloe® Aloe Vera was required to stimulate an animal's immune system; which is the key to good health.
Why Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera has a high concentration of polysaccharides which research has shown to be effective in stimulating the immune system in both humans and animals. Along with glucosamine and yucca schidigera, Pet-Aloe® K-9 Crumbles is an all natural and safe product that will enhance the quality of life for your pet.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound a cure
Pet-Aloe® K-9 Crumbles have been shown to be effective in the treatment of age related diseases such as hip-dysplasia, arthritis, digestive problems, lethargy; etc. It is best, however, to take a pro-active preventative position and begin feeding Pet-Aloe® K-9 Crumbles as soon as you can, rather than waiting for these degenerative diseases to take place. This will enable your pet to have a long, healthy and pain free life.

Just took a whiff of this new fragrance that the Tom Ford rep decanted for me last weekend and first impression is that of revulsion. To me it smells like mildew or something spoiled. That being said I will still wear it at least one time. My 8 year old daughter and wife like it. Of the four new private blend fragrances, the one that made the best first impression for me was probably jonquille de unit.
I smelled it at Neiman Marcus. It starts off a pretty true hyacinth but then the jasmine kicks in and spoils it for me (since I have a very uneasy relationship with jasmine.) Worth trying.
I am very disappointed. After hearing of some of the Private Blend items being discontinued, i was really hoping these new ones would make me forget those... Guess not.
I will still try them, but I'm not too optimistic...
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Ormonde Jayne - Black Gold
4. by Kilian - Incense Oud
5. Puredistance - Black
6. House of Matriarch - Blackbird
7. Armani Privé - Oud Royal
8. by Kilian - Cruel Intentions
9. Creed - Royal English Leather
10. Brückner - Aoud 1
I really want to try this. I've been searching for a realistic Hyacinth frag forever.
My Top Ten:
1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge
2: Guerlain - Jicky
3: Guerlain - Mouchoir de Monsieur
4: Guerlain - Shalimar
5: Knize - Knize Ten
6: Caron - Yatagan
7: Caron - Pour Un Homme
8: Jean Desprez - Bal a Versailles
9: Yves Saint Laurent - M7
10: Salvador Dali - Dali Pour Homme
I think Ombré de Hyacinth is very nice. I enjoy the strong green opening as well as the inclusion of jasmine.

It does sound like a weird one lol, I do not think I have smelled Hyacinth in a frag before.
To me, it smells a little old-school high-end cologne. Not bad, but when you look at the price you wonder.
I am still underwhelmed in all honesty by all the new Jardin Noir line, perhaps Cafe Rose can garner some respect but all in all, meh.
Call me weird but I've been quite impressed with these four, They are all quite bold and have something a little out of the blue about them. They will be polarising though. If you ignore the fact Cafe Rose doesn't really have any Coffee conotation then its quite a pretty scent at face value.
My favourite is probably Jonquille de Nuit as its quite similiar in execution to Tubereuse Criminelle.

How long did you have the fragrance on before the jasmine became discernable? I have not yet worn it, but the Tom Ford guy at Tampa NM, who I trust greatly, tells me that it dries down very nicely.
- - - Updated - - -
Upon first smelling Jonquille de Nuit I was immediately reminded of Fire Island (I have never smelled Tubereuse Criminelle) and I thought for sure this thing was loaded with tuberose, but Tuberose is not listed as a note at Fragrantica and I am certain tuberose wasn't listed on the Tom Ford advertising brochure at NM.
Honestly I do not think I know what hyacinth smells like

Mike - next Christmas buy one of those sprouting bulbs that bloom indoors over a jar of water. They're pretty easy to find ( I can even send you one if they don't sell them there ).
Sadly they won't last as Miami is just too hot for them, but it will give you a chance to "get" the scent. They're the boldest spring flower I think, in scent; about as strong as tuberoses.
- - - Updated - - -
As an aside, this is driving me nuts waiting for these to be released!
I agree with Suga, hyacinth is rather strong and sharp. Scents where the note is prominent are my favorite Paco Rabanne Metal and the first 15 seconds of Lutens Bas de Soie (before the swamp takes over).
Yes, as much as I enjoy Bas de Soie, it's not purely hyacinth. In fact it and other hyacinth renditions I've smelled tend to be a little "ghostly"; like water someone's soaked hyacinths in water rather than the real thing.
I just googled them so I could see what they look like and oh yes...I definitely have seen these growing before, I most probably have smelled them I just didn't know what I was smelling.
Do they smell anything like magnolia?

I released my hyacinth fragrance Persian Prince this Spring - there don't seem to be many about, which was one reason I wanted to design one. Mine is based (loosely) on the headspace analysis of the blue hyacinth specifically - I blogged about that too if you are interested in such things.

I'll answer this: it took about 10 minutes, for me, on skin. I would have liked the top notes to linger longer.
I don't find hyacinth to be like magnolia, no. Mike, have you ever seen this potpourri in shops (The Smell of Spring)? It is very much like hyacinth:
Chris I have been meaning to explore your line of fragrances as you seem to have a wonderful range to choose from. I'm especially interested in Equisetum as I love Fougere scents with tobacco and oakmoss. And the Violet and Hyacinth soliflores look interesting to if only to know what Hyacinth smells like. When I get around to it I will enjoy sampling your line of fragrances.
Not to get off on a tangent, but I was googling and discovered that The Smell of Spring comes in many other home scenting products: http://www.jensendesigns.com/AromatiqueHome.htm#spring
I don't tend to buy home fragrances but I may make an exception for this-- it's lovely if you like hyacinth.
Oh my god, I love Hyacinth. It's definitely my favorite real flower.

Not what you would expect after just about everything else in TF line, it seems that they are delving heavy into the Jean Claude Ellena school of perfumery. They are all nice but not ground-breaking, even TF Noir is very blah, from the print ads and the bottle you would expect a lot more depth / darkness from it...
I gave this a wearing today: definitely bold, but a memorably awful drydown. The top is very nice; one of those greyish, washed-cold hyacinth notes like Bas de Soie ( very similar in fact ), but then about ten minutes in, a weird oily-tangy-green-dirty accord smelling a lot like SMN's Genistra followed by a rather rough men's-frag chemical note found in a million shaving creams. And then I realize: oh no, it's Amazingreen all over again. Noxious!
I can only wish I got 30 Roses' jasmine base impression.
It's like you're sniffing some hyacinths in a vase and Audrey Two comes up from behind and eats you...
I can't wait to try this now.
- - - Updated - - -
Tried this and the Lys Fume yesterday in Selfridges. The Hyacinth develops in the most dramatic way. Starts out green and very hyacinth, then jasmine comes through. Then on me it turned a bit deodorant-powdery for about an hour, which I didn't like, and then into the evening it reminded me of a green and woody chypre. This morning I can still smell it quite prominently on the back of my hand, and it smells like a peppery, woody incense.
The Lys Fume stayed much the same the whole way through, and I couldn't really find much "fume" in it. Though now, having said that, it's now a gorgeous lily and when I press my nose to my arm, I do get something slightly smoky.
Not sure either of these are worthy of purchase for me, but they are interesting. I will definitely try the other two.
I obtained a couple of generous samples of the Ombre de Hyacinth and made it the scent of my weekend.
For about 15 minutes after application, this is the most startlingly realistic hyacinth scent I've ever encountered. You can even smell the dirt clinging to the bulb end. It had that hypnotic, reality-bending allure that a really fragrant bunch of hyacinth does.
After that, it skids downhill so fast it's almost a grand slalom event. I like the jasmine coming on board, but it gets swamped and loses its voice quickly. It gets kind of murky, too stuffed with ingredients, and then simmers into a more general "floral-musk". If only that hyper-real top note lasted and developed into a more interesting heart. Then my paw prints would be on a bottle all my own already, with no regrets for the $$$.
I finally smelled this (and the others). The top is great, a realistic green hyacinth. If only it stayed longer. But it looses itself and disappears from my skin. Good start, but not woth $205/50 ml. Metal or Insense' are on another planet, and they can be had for much less. I'll try it again on cloth/paper, to see if the good part stays a long time there.
Yet, it was to my nose the best in the line. Jonquil is literally eaten by my skin. Good start too, but then nothing-again, I will want to try on paper/cloth. Lys fume is an elegant bubblegum, with no smoke, nor lily. Cafe rose nothing special.
Tried this today and the following is my take on the scent:
On first stiff this smelled very green and rooty like smelling the roots of a plant that has been plucked from the earth. It's fresh and gets quite floral and the mixture of the earthy greeness and floral aspects makes this smell like a green house full of flowery and green aromas.
I have to say this smells interesting and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating this as it's complex and the different notes seem to play off each other in a garden like harmony.
To sum up a really nice mix of fresh green rooty plant like smelling notes coupled with flowery florals that makes you think of gardens & green houses full of plants and flowers. Nicely done.

Ride cowboy ride
Through the back door to heaven to the other side
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride
Yeah, I learn my lesson
In the story of trial
So I made my confession
In this sleazy motel
I could be the romantic
I could try my best lines
But I ain't got the money
An' ain't got the town
Ride, cowboy, ride
Through the back door to heaven to the other side
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride
So you want to be a cowboy
Ride, ride, ride
You wanna be a big shot
Baby, come on
Ride, ride, ride

Posen says QE size "sensible"
- Tweet

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Bank of England got it "about right" when it opted to inject another 75 billion pounds into the financial system, a move that will help fend off the risk of deflation, a top policy maker said on Wednesday.
"I think 75 billion is about right," Bank policy maker Adam Posen told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the Economist's Buttonwood conference in New York.
"It's a sensible amount and proportionate to the challenge we are facing."
The additional funds, part of the bank's quantitative easing program, "won't lead to an immediate boom but should fend off deflation risks," Posen said.
He dismissed concerns that the program would push up consumer prices, and said he expected inflation to fall below the Bank of England's 2 percent target by next summer. Consumer prices in Britain rose 5.2 percent in the year to September, matching a high seen in 1997.
Posen said the Bank would review the policy in the months ahead before deciding what steps, if any, to take next.
It is possible to "scale up" quantitative easing if necessary, he said. Critics who say there are diminishing returns are "misguided or delusional," he said, as it's just "monetary policy by another means."
Asked about the impact of quantitative easing on commodity prices, Posen later told the Buttonwood gathering: "Commodity prices wouldn't be coming down right now if they were driven by monetary policy."

After a few delays, the launch of the Dragon capsule to the International Space Station is scheduled for 3:55 a.m. CDT tomorrow morning. This mission is designed to verify that the Dragon capsule, built by the private firm SpaceX, can interface with the docking systems of the ISS in a safe and reliable way, and that the capsule is up to the task of maneuvering in low Earth orbit.
Launching rockets to intercept fast-moving objects such as the International Space Station (doing 17,000 miles per hour) requires incredibly precise timing. Tomorrow's "instantaneous" launch window means the rocket must go at that minute, or the launch is scrubbed. A May 22 launch window is being held as a backup.
This launch marks yet another exciting milestone in recent human space exploration. It also follows on the heels of the announcement of the formation of an asteroid mining company: Planetary Resources Inc. With more than seven months remaining, 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year for space exploration.

1) What is so different about Athletic Revolution?
Training young athletes and youth fitness participants aged 6 – 18 is very misunderstood within this industry.
There are very sensitive and specific styles of exercise stimulus that are necessary at certain ages along the developmental spectrum and, although widely popular in our current marketplace, many youth fitness programs find themselves unable to generate long-term client adherence due to this lack of knowledge and applied understanding.
With Athletic Revolution, you are receiving an internationally field-tested and success-proven system for training clients aged 6 – 18 through a developmental process that encompasses both athletic and non-athletic participants and is built to ensure you have a client list that will stay within your program for months and in many cases, years.
2) Am I able to enroll my son or daughter into a quick 2 or 3 week program so that they can get faster right away?
Sport performance training and youth fitness cannot occur optimally in such a short amount of time.
It's just like school.
You couldn't complete 2nd Grade in 3 weeks and you couldn't obtain a Master's Degree before you go through high school and earn a Bachelors.
Training for optimal performance in sport and life is a process.
The most effective gains that guarantee success and dramatically reduce the risk of injury are based on learning
specific fitness skills, perfecting them over time and then building on them systematically.
3) Why is Athletic Revolution so much less expensive than other training centers?
That's because Athletic Revolution has been founded on the principle of long-term sport performance and fitness
It does you no good whatsoever to try and cram as much speed, strength, flexibility and agility training into a short-term,
6 or 8 week program.
Optimal results will never come like that.
We have a proven system that works and has been tested on more than 20,000 participants worldwide.
Our goal is to keep you involved in our unique and effective system long-term so that we can guarantee your success.
4) How does the schedule work at Athletic Revolution?
Another big difference with Athletic Revolution is our understanding that young children and their parents are heavily scheduled these days. That is why we have instituted extremely flexible scheduling options.
We have a range of class times to choose from for each type of program. For most of the year this is evenings and weekends, but in the summer we also add morning times during the week.
In most cases there are plenty of opportunities to schedule anywhere from 1-4 classes per week depending on the level of commitment outside of Athletic Revolution. And so long as we receive at least 12 hours notice, we always help with rescheduling wherever we have space available in a session.
5) How will I see improvement in my son or daughter while they are enrolled in your program?
Each and every young athlete will under go a competency assessement to determine proper class placement and to evaluate their respective strengths and weaknesses.
Our innovative assessment battery gives us a complete picture of every athlete to ensure the direction and focus is appropriate and individualized. This data is recorded based on the rate of technical ability the young athlete displays during a number of selected movements.
Permanent and meaningful improvement can be shown by comparing data AND by simply watching the athlete move efficiently, effectively and injury free.
In addition, our on going testing battery is offered as a goal for each young athlete to aspire to new levels of achievement and they are rewarded as such.

ABSTRACT: Management of diseases of the descending thoracic aorta is trending from open surgery toward thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), because TEVAR is reportedly associated with less perioperative mortality. However, comparisons between TEVAR and open surgery, adjusting for patient comorbidities, have not been well studied. In this nationwide population-based study, we compared the outcomes between TEVAR and open surgery in type B aortic dissection. From 2003 to 2009, data on patients with type B aortic dissection who underwent either open surgery or TEVAR were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database. Survival, length of stay, and complications were compared between TEVAR and open repair. To minimize possible bias, we performed an additional analysis after matching patients by age, sex, and propensity score. A total of 1661 patients were identified, of whom 1542 underwent open repair and 119 TEVAR. Patients in the TEVAR group were older (63.0 ± 15.4 years vs. 58.1 ± 13.1 years; p = 0.001), included more males, and had more preoperative comorbidities. Thirty-day mortality in the TEVAR group was significantly lower than that in the open repair group (4.2% vs. 17.8%; p < 0.001). The midterm survival rates in the unmatched cohort between the open surgery and TEVAR groups at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 4 years were 76%, 73%, 71%, and 68% vs. 92%, 86%, 82%, and 79%, respectively. The length of stay in the TEVAR group was shorter than that in the open repair group (p = 0.001). The TEVAR group had less respiratory failure (p = 0.022) and fewer wound complications than the open repair group (p = 0.008). The matched cohort showed similar results. TEVAR for type B aortic dissection repair has less perioperative mortality, a shorter length of hospitalization, a higher midterm survival rate, less postoperative respiratory failure, and fewer wound complications than open surgery.

ABSTRACT: To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and short- to mid-term survival rate of cryoablation for malignant lung tumors METHODS: Percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation for 45 malignant lung tumors in 26 patients during 41 sessions from 2009-2013 were performed. Follow up CT-scan were used to determine local tumor progression. Survival rate, local tumor control rate and associated risk factors were analyzed. The immediate during and short-term complications with CTCAE grade 2 or upper include pneumothorax (15%), pleural effusion (20%), pulmonary hemorrhage (24%), pneumonitis (15%), hemothorax (15%), hemoptysis (10%), pain (20%), bronchopleural fistula (n=1), and empyema (n=2). Life-threatening bleeding or hemodynamic instability was not observed. There was no procedural-related mortality. Overall survival rate of 1, 2, 3 years are 96%, 88%, 88%. For curative intent, local tumor control (LTC) rate of 1, 2, 3 years are 75%, 72%, 72%. Cryoablation for malignant lung tumors is effective and feasible in local control of tumor growth, with good short- to mid-term survival rate, as an alternative option for inoperable patients.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we assessed the association between the tortuosity of the thoracic aorta as measured by the reporting standards for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), described by the Society for Vascular Surgery, and midterm outcomes after TEVAR for atherosclerotic aneurysms. We analyzed 77 consecutive patients who underwent TEVAR for atherosclerotic aneurysms from November 2006 through May 2013 in a single institution. The preoperative aortic tortuosity index (TI) was calculated by computed tomography aortography, and patients were divided into low-tortuosity (TI ≤ 1.29) and high-tortuosity (TI > 1.29) groups. The relationships between TI and the occurrence of endoleaks, complications, and survival were analyzed. The mean follow-up period was 29 ± 26 months. During this period, endoleaks occurred in 19 patients. Patients in the high-tortuosity group were at greater risk for endoleaks (odds ratio, 9.95; 95% confidence interval, 2.06-48.1; P = .004) and stroke (odds ratio, 13.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-169; P = .047) than those in the low-tortuosity group. The overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 73%, 69%, and 63%, respectively, for the high-tortuosity group and 92%, 92%, and 86%, respectively, for the low tortuosity group. Our findings demonstrated that high tortuosity of the thoracic aorta is associated with higher rates of endoleaks and lower survival in patients undergoing TEVAR for atherosclerotic aneurysms. Patients with aneurysms in a highly tortuous aorta may therefore need greater attention in preoperative planning, perioperative procedures, and follow-up examinations.Journal of vascular surgery: official publication, the Society for Vascular Surgery [and] International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter 05/2014; · 2.98 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Image-guided tumor ablation for lung malignancies has emerged as a treatment modality for medically inoperable patients. Overall, image-guided lung tumor ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that has an acceptable safety profile and less impact on lung function. This is important for patients with poor pulmonary and/or cardiac functions or with multiple comorbidities, which prevent them from undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Herein, we review the principle, techniques, clinical application, and patient outcomes of image-guided lung tumor ablation.Journal of the Chinese Medical Association 04/2013; · 0.75 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Small bowel angioedema is a rare adverse effect of iodinated contrast medium. Here, we report the first case of contrast medium-induced small bowel angioedema with concurrent respiratory tract symptoms. A patient with colon cancer underwent CT scanning for preoperative staging. After injection of the contrast medium, a persistent cough developed and CT images showed that the small bowel wall was abnormally thickened. It returned to normal by the follow-up. The persistent coughing that developed right after the CT and small bowel wall thickening on the contrast-enhanced CT suggested the diagnosis of small bowel angioedema induced by the contrast medium.Clinical imaging 07/2012; 36(4):386-9. · 0.73 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Analysis of the coronary artery calcium levels usually provides important information that can be used in patient prognosis and stratification of treatment when coronary artery disease is suspected. However, plaques, with or without significant stenosis, have been reported in patients without coronary artery calcium. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and risk factors of the development of coronary artery plaques in individuals with a zero calcium score. Analysis of coronary artery calcium levels and coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) were performed using 64-slice computed tomography (CT). The demographic data, clinical risk factors, and imaging features of 519 consecutive patients (54 ± 10 years, male:female ratio of 56:44) were retrospectively analyzed. The presence of plaques and the degree of the resulting stenosis were recorded. Descriptive, univariate, and multivariate analyses were carried out to identify the frequency and risk factors associated with the presence of coronary artery plaques. Among 66 patients, 82 coronary arteries were found to have plaques, and six coronary arteries showed significant stenosis. Univariate analysis showed that an age greater than 55 years, male gender, a body mass index (BMI) of more than 27, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus are significant factors associated with the development of coronary artery plaques. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that an age over 55 years (p = 0.012, OR = 2.13, 95% C.I. = 1.18-3.84) and BMI greater than 27 (p = 0.026, OR = 2.01, 95% C.I. = 1.09-3.72) are independent factors associated with the presence of plaques in patients with a zero calcium score. The results of this study show that plaques are present in a significant proportion of individuals with a zero coronary artery calcium score. In addition, advanced age and obesity are risk factors associated with the development of plaques.Journal of the Chinese Medical Association 01/2012; 75(1):10-5. · 0.75 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aberrant systemic arteries supplying the intralobar pulmonary sequestration can become dilated and have atherosclerotic change. Computed tomography is very useful in demonstrating the aberrant artery. We report a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with giant branching aneurysmal aberrant artery, and demonstrated the discontinuity of the bronchus by 64-slice computed tomography, which has not previously been described.Journal of the Chinese Medical Association 08/2011; 74(8):372-5. · 0.75 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital structural variant in which a segment of the epicardial coronary artery tunnels into and is surrounded by the myocardium. MB has been correlated to some clinical complications of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The depiction rate of MB varies significantly between catheter coronary angiography and autopsy studies. This study aimed to assess the depiction rate of MB among Taiwanese by coronary computed tomographyic angiography (CCTA), to determine the anatomical features of the tunneling vessels, and to evaluate the outcome of patients having MB. Between September 2006 and December 2007, 425 subjects (264 men and 161 women; mean age 59.6 ± 11.7 years) underwent ECG-gated CCTA by a 64-dectector row scanner in our institution. The presence and the location of MB in CCTA images and the presence of atherosclerosis in the tunneling vessels were evaluated and recorded. Major CVD events in the cohort were tracked from the day of CCTA examination until on March 2009 termination of follow-up. The depiction rate of MB was 20.9% (89/425). A total of 122 MB were depicted by CCTA. Thirty-six tunneling segments (29.5%) were situated in the distal portion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), 23 segments (18.8%) were in the middle portion of the LAD, 19 (15.5%) were in the first obtuse marginal branch of the left circumflex artery, 18 (14.7%) in the first diagonal branch of the LAD, and 10 (8.1%) were in the ramus medianus. Nine tunneling segments (7.3%) had concomitant atherosclerotic plaques at the time of CCTA. One hundred and nine tunneled segments (89.3%) were superficially located in the myocardium, with a mean depth of 1.9 ± 0.81 mm (range, 0.9-4 mm). Twelve patients with CVD events were recorded during the mean follow-up interval of 21.91 ± 4.03 months (range, 3.08-28.82 months). All 12 patients with CVD events had no MB on CCTA. The depiction rate of MB by CCTA was 20.9% in this study. The most common location of MB was in the LAD. Concomitant atherosclerotic plaques were found in 7.3% of MB cases. Eighty-nine percent of tunneling vessels were superficially situated. None of the enrolled subjects with MB developed CVD event during the follow-up period. No statistical correlation was found between the presence of MB and CVD event (p = 0.057).Journal of the Chinese Medical Association 04/2011; 74(4):164-8. · 0.75 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) contains ganglionated plexuses and adipocytes that can affect the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to quantify the EAT surrounding the left atrium (LA) and correlate it with occurrence of AF and outcome after catheter ablation. EAT was evaluated using 64-slice multidetector computed tomography in 68 patients with AF and 34 controls. EAT volume was acquired by semiautomatically tracing axial images from the pulmonary artery to the coronary sinus. Topographic distribution of EAT was assessed by dividing the periatrial space into 8 equal regions. EAT volume significantly increased in patients with AF than in controls (29.9 ± 12.1 vs 20.2 ± 6.5 cm(3), p <0.001). Most EAT was located in regions (1) within the superior vena cava, right pulmonary artery, and right-sided roof of the LA (29.8%), (2) within the aortic root, pulmonary trunk, and left atrial appendage (26.5%), and (3) between the left inferior pulmonary vein and left atrioventricular groove (18.1%). Baseline variables were analyzed in patients with (n = 24) and without (n = 44) AF recurrence after ablation. The recurrent group showed significantly increased EAT (35.2 ± 12.5 vs 26.8 ± 11.1 cm(3), p = 0.007). Multivariate analysis revealed that EAT was an independent predictor of AF recurrence after ablation (p = 0.038). In conclusion, EAT of LA was increased in patients with AF. Large clusters of EAT were observed adjacent to the anterior roof, left atrial appendage, and lateral mitral isthmus. Abundance of EAT was independently related to AF recurrence after ablation.The American journal of cardiology 03/2011; 107(10):1498-503. · 3.58 Impact Factor - European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery: official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery 03/2011; 40(1):e67. · 2.40 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Understanding pulmonary vein (PV) function before and after catheter ablation can validate the benefit of the treatment and provide mechanistic insight into atrial fibrillation (AF). This study was aimed to investigate the functional remodeling process of PVs by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). We assessed the dynamic function of four PVs by MDCT at systolic and diastolic phases. Twelve points around each PV ostium were used to assess the magnitude and abnormalities of the regional wall motion. The axis of PV shifting during cardiac cycle was also determined. Seventy-four paroxysmal AF patients and 29 controls were enrolled. In those of AF, the superior PVs had poorer contractile function (ejection fraction: P = 0.01 for left; P = 0.009 for right; magnitude of the motion: P = 0.01 for left; P = 0.02 for right) which mainly resulted from the decreased movement of the posterior wall. In contrast, the function of inferior PVs was similar between two groups. After a mean follow-up of 158 ± 95 days, the PV motion improved in the patients without any AF recurrence. In addition, analysis of the pre-ablation PV function showed that the angles, which shifted during cardiac cycle of left (P = 0.035) and right (P = 0.014) inferior PV, were significantly decreased in recurrent patients. The contractile function of the superior PVs was impaired in paroxysmal AF patients. This was attributed to the hypokinesia of the posterior wall of PVs and improved after circumferential ablation in the patients without recurrence. MDCT images can effectively delineate the functional characteristics of PVs.The international journal of cardiovascular imaging 11/2010; 27(7):1049-58. · 2.15 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Elucidating the functional properties and remodeling process of the entire left atrium (LA) is important not only for offering the mechanistic insight into atrial fibrillation (AF) but also for assessing the effectiveness of catheter ablation. We included 65 patients with paroxysmal AF and 29 controls. Baseline multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was acquired in all subjects and a follow-up MDCT was available in 48 patients after pulmonary vein and LA ablation. The 3-dimensional images at atrial end-diastole (ED) and end-systole (ES) were analyzed. The LA volume (ED: 61.11 +/- 15.94 vs 54.12 +/- 8.94 mL/m(2), P = 0.03; ES: 45.29 +/- 17.64 vs 33.38 +/- 7.78 mL/m(2), P < 0.001) was increased, and ejection fraction (EF) (26.93 +/- 13.40 vs 38.09 +/- 11.62%, P < 0.001) decreased in AF patients as compared to controls. After ablation, the ES LA volume (44.73 +/- 14.93 vs 38.04 +/- 11.51 mL/m(2), P = 0.04) decreased and the LA EF (25.04 +/- 13.13 vs 30.82 +/- 7.85%, P = 0.03) increased in patients without any AF recurrence. The wall motion (WM) analysis of the 18 segments of LA revealed increased motional magnitudes of entire LA except for the anterior roof. In contrast, the volume, EF, and WM of LA remained similar in patients with recurrence. Dilated LA with global hypokinesia was noted in AF patients. Improved LA transport function was demonstrated in patients without any recurrence after ablation. However, the anatomic and functional reverse remodeling was not significant in patients with AF recurrence.Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 10/2009; 21(3):270-7. · 3.48 Impact Factor -
Article: Myocardial bridging in Taiwan: depiction by multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myocardial bridging (MB) is a condition in which a segment of the major epicardial coronary artery is tunneled within and surrounded by the myocardium. This condition has been linked to severe complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of MB in Taiwanese subjects examined with electrocardiogram-gated, 16-slice, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography, as well as to determine the location, depth, and length of the bridged segments and the concomitant atherosclerosis of MB. From August 2004 to May 2005, 276 consecutive subjects referred to our department for MDCT coronary angiography were enrolled in the study after written informed consent was obtained from each participant. Twenty-four subjects (8.7%) had at least one coronary segment that was completely surrounded by myocardium. Patients ranged in age from 27 to 76 years, with an average of 54 +/- 12 years. Thirty coronary segments were found to have MB. The most common location of MB was in segment 7, which accounted for 14 coronary segments (46.7%) of the total number of bridged segments; left anterior descending artery (LAD) segments accounted for 23 (76.7%); and right coronary artery and left circumflex artery segments accounted for three (10%) and two (6.7%), respectively. The length of bridged segments ranged from 5.2 to 50.6 mm, with an average length of 24.6 +/- 11.8 mm, and the depth of the bridged segments ranged from 0.5 to 9.1 mm, with an average depth of 3.65 +/- 1.89 mm. Two bridged segments (6.7%) had concomitant atherosclerosis; these were located in segment 7 (24.0 mm long and 6.10 mm deep) and segment 8 (27.1 mm long and 7.0 mm deep). Bridged segments with concomitant atherosclerosis were deeper, but not longer, compared with bridged segments without concomitant atherosclerosis (p < 0.05). Electrocardiogram-gated MDCT is an effective noninvasive tool for evaluating MB in a clinical setting. The most common location of MB was in the LAD, especially in segment 7. Bridged segments with concomitant atherosclerosis were deeper, but not longer, compared with bridged segments without concomitant atherosclerosis.Journal of the Formosan Medical Association 06/2009; 108(6):469-74. · 1.70 Impact Factor -
Conference Paper: Optimal Coronary Artery Enhancement in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA): Impact Factors Analysis
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of gender, age, body weight, heart rate, contrast volume, contrast concentration, contrast injection flow rate, bolus tracking threshold and coronary calcium score on the enhancement quality of coronary arteries during coronary CTA. METHOD AND MATERIALS From September 2007 to November 2007, 135 patients (91 men and 44 women) received coronary CTA by a 64-detector row scanner in this institute. Coronary CTA was performed using retrospective ECG-gating and automated bolus triggering with biphasic injection of iodinated contrast agent followed by saline chaser. The enhancement quality of coronary arteries, measured by Hounsfield uint, in segment 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13 (according to AHA classification) was check. Gender, age, body weight, heart rate, contrast volume, contrast concentration, contrast flow rate, bolus tracking threshold and coronary calcium score in each case were recorded. Regression analysis was used to check the correlation between each independent variables and coronary artery enhancement. RESULTS Of the 135 patients, their mean age was 58.2±15.5 years, body weight 68.5±113.3 kg, heart rate 56.5±6.6 bpm, contrast injection flow rate 4.9±0.4 ml/sec, total contrast volume 58.8±7.9 ml, contrast concentration 362.4±9.7 mgI/mL, coronary calcium score(by Agatston method) 256.9±521.7, and bolus tracking threshold 142.3±9.5 HU. Image quality was assessable in all studies. Regression test revealed gender, age, body weight, bolus tracking threshold, and calcium score had significant influence in the enhancement quality of coronary arteries in each segment(p<0.05). Contrast flow rate had no interference with coronary artery enhancement(p>0.05). Contrast concentration had borderline significance in LCX-p(p=0.0456). Contrast volume had significant influence in all segments(p<0.01), except in LCX-m and LAD-m. Heart rate had significant influence in all segments(p<0.01), except in LAD-p. CONCLUSION Man, younger age, lower body weight and lower heart rate, lower calcium score correlated with better coronary artery enhancement, and so did the application of lower bolus tracking threshold, fewer contrast volume and higher contrast concentration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/APPLICATION Using lower bolus tracking threshold, low-volume and high-concentration of contrast and keeping patient in lower heart rate can get better coronary artery enhancement.Radiological Society of North America 2008 Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting; 12/2008 -

ABSTRACT: We sought to investigate the imaging of the left atrial (LA) muscular bundle and the relationship between the bundle and inducibility of tachyarrhythmia after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Noninducibility is used as a clinical end point of atrial substrate ablation after PVI. However, little is known about the role of the LA muscular bundles in tachyarrhythmia after PVI. Forty-three consecutive patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who underwent catheter ablation were included. Bi-atrial isochronal mapping was performed with the NavX system (St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota) during sinus rhythm. After 4 PVI, inducible organized LA flutter with or without transforming to atrial fibrillation (AF) (LA flutter/AF) was ablated with additional lines at the roof and/or mitral isthmus. The existence of bilateral muscular bundles was an independent predictor of LA flutter/AF after PVI (p = 0.02). Patients with LA flutter/AF after PVI had a greater index of the double potentials (5.4 +/- 3.4% vs. 2.8 +/- 1.8%, p = 0.006) and interpotential interval (33 +/- 5 ms vs. 29 +/- 4 ms, p = 0.02) than without LA flutter/AF. The muscular bundles were identified in 28% patients using 16-slice multidetector computed tomography, which were identical to the isochrone map. Patients with noninducible LA flutter/AF after PVI plus the additional linear ablation had a lower recurrence rate as compared with the patients without it (19% vs. 75%, p = 0.02). Left atrial muscular bundles may provide a conduction block line and barrier, which is important for the formation of LA flutter/AF after PVI. The noninducibility of LA flutter/AF achieved after additional linear ablation may contribute to a better outcome in RF ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.Journal of the American College of Cardiology 10/2007; 50(10):964-73. · 15.34 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Atrio-bronchial fistula (ABF) can be a rare but potentially lethal complication following the catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Understanding the extent of the contact between the bronchial tree and pulmonary veins (PVs) is critical to avoid this complication. We investigated the anatomic relationship between the four PVs and bronchial tree using multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Seventy patients with drug refractory AF were included. They underwent 16-slice MDCT before the ablation. The spatial relationship between the bronchus and PVs was demonstrated by the multi-planar images. The bronchus was in direct contact with four PVs in the vast majority of patients. The mean distances between the bronchus and the ostia of right superior, left superior, right inferior, and left inferior PV were 7.1 +/- 5.5, 3.5 +/- 4.8, 12.3 +/- 5.6, and 17.9 +/- 6.8 mm, respectively. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group I: proximal contact (<5 mm from the PV ostium) and Group II: distal contact (>5 mm from the PV ostium). For the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV), the Group I patients were associated with thinner connective tissue between them (P = 0.001), a larger RSPV (17.2 +/- 2.2 vs 15.5 +/- 2.1 mm, P < 0.001), and right inferior pulmonary vein (RIPV) diameter (15.9 +/- 1.9 vs 14.6 +/- 1.6 mm, P < 0.01). For the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV), the Group I patients were associated with an older age (P = 0.02). Isolation of the superior PVs may carry the potential risk of bronchial damage. The clinical or anatomic characteristics associated with the proximal contact between the bronchi and superior PVs can provide useful information to prevent this complication.Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 09/2007; 18(10):1056-9. · 3.48 Impact Factor -
Article: Morphological changes of the left atrial appendage after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been proven to be the most important site of thrombus formation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the information regarding the morphometric alteration of the LAA related to the outcome of AF ablation is still lacking. Thus, we evaluated the long-term changes of the LAA morphology in patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF using magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Group 1 included 15 controls without any AF history. Group 2 included 40 patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal AF. They were divided into two subgroups: group 2a included 30 patients without AF recurrence after pulmonary vein (PV) ablation. Group 2b included 10 patients with late recurrence of AF. The LAA morphology before and after (20 +/- 11 months) ablation was evaluated by three-dimensional MRA. The group 2 patients had a larger baseline LAA size (including the LAA orifice, neck, and length) and less eccentric LAA orifice and neck. After the AF ablation, there was a significant reduction in the LAA size in the group 2a patients, and the morphology of the LAA neck became more eccentric during the follow-up period. In group 2b, the LAA size increased and no significant change in the eccentricity of the orifice and neck could be noted. The morphometric remodeling of the LAA in the AF patients could be reversed after a successful ablation of the AF. Progressive dilation of the LAA was noted in the patients with AF recurrence. These structural changes in the LAA may play a role in reducing the potential risk of cerebrovascular accidents.Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 02/2007; 18(1):47-52. · 3.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Imaging of the aorta has received less attention than imaging of the coronary beds, despite the possible link between aortic and coronary artery disease (CAD). Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) with 100 ms scanning speed can eliminate pulsation-related motion artifacts. The goals of this study were to evaluate EBCT-detected subclinical atherosclerosis over the whole aorta as in routine abdominal and thoracic CT scans and analyze whether or not the measurements of aortic calcification (AC) can independently predict the presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC), which is a surrogate marker of CAD. A consecutive series of 196 adults (male:female, 127:69; mean age, 65.9 +/- 10.5 years) were enrolled for EBCT examinations of the coronary arteries and whole aorta. CAC and AC were calculated by the Agatston method. Major cardiovascular risk factors were also recorded. The greatest amount of AC was seen at the abdominal aorta, followed by the descending aortic arch, thoracic aorta, and ascending aorta. Total AC was significantly correlated with CAC (r = 0.51, p < 0.001). After adjustment for major cardiovascular risk factors of age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and family history, the three independent significant determinants of CAC were abdominal AC, thoracic descending AC, and male gender (model r2 = 0.495, p < 0.001). For receiver operating characteristic analysis in predicting the presence of CAC, the threshold of descending AC was 11, with 68.3% sensitivity and 75.0% specificity. The optimal threshold of abdominal AC was 123, with 74.1% sensitivity and 67.9% specificity. AC values in different portions of the aorta are independent predictors for the presence of CAC.Journal of the Chinese Medical Association 10/2006; 69(9):409-14. · 0.89 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The most common complications following percutaneous lung biopsy are pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage. There have been few cases of pneumomediastinum occurred after fluoroscopy guided biopsy. Literature revealed no case of massive air leak with pneumomediastium, pneumopericardium, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumothorax developing secondary to computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy. This report presents a case of massive air leak after this procedure.European Journal of Radiology Extra 10/2006; 60(1):15-17.

Live racing in Maryland will shift to historic Pimlico Race Course Thursday, April 4 for a 36-day spring stand, headlined by the $1 million Preakness Stakes (gr. I).
The 138th running of the middle jewel of the Triple Crown is May 18.
Live racing takes place four days a week on a Thursday through Sunday schedule prior to Preakness and then Friday, Saturday and Sunday (plus Memorial Day). There will be free admission and a complimentary live program on opening day. First post is 1:10 p.m. The meet will end June 8, Belmont Stakes day.
"The Preakness is 50 days away, so we are getting excited," said Tom Chuckas, Maryland Jockey Club president. "We feel it is vital to continue live racing all the way through the Triple Crown to prolong the momentum built during Preakness.
"There is a special feeling about Pimlico because of the third Saturday in May but the entire meet is important to us," he added. "We continue to upgrade the promotions to enhance the experience. In addition, purses on overnight races during the meet will be raised 10-15% across the board, which should lead to larger fields and more wagering."
The marquee meet of the Maryland racing season features 26 stakes races for purses of more than $4 million. Preakness weekend will include 17 stakes races for $3.4 million.
Preakness day will have nine added money races, including five graded events. In addition to the Preakness, the card will feature the $300,000 Dixie Handicap (gr. IIT) and three grade III races.
The Preakness eve card features eight stakes races, headlined by the $500,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II) and the $300,000 Pimlico Special (gr. III).

in his final scene joker said "you didn't think i'd risk losing the battle for gotham in a fist fight with you? you need an ACE IN THE HOLE."
note: in cards, an ace and a joker is known as a DEAD MANS HAND....
look what happend to Harvey...
off my mind: heath ledger joker quote hidden meaning?
I'm not sure if it's a "hidden" meaning but an ace in a hole is something that is sure to win, being that in poker when you have a facedown card, or a "hole", the most propitious card is an ace. I haven't heard of a dead man's hand, but it would certainly be clever if the meaning was intended.
@onehappyigloo: i dont know if it was intentional or not, but it would be good if it was :)thats a badass deck of cards
@enterthejoker: what brand are those cards? im always on the lookout for cool sets so i might look em up and buy em if i can lol
@DeadJester: sorry not sure, i found the image on google.
