Using Django and MongoDB to Build a Blog
This article shows how to create a simple blog site using the MongoDB Document Database and the Django Web framework.
Mongo Basics
MongoDB is an open-source document-oriented database, not a traditional relational database, written in C++ by Dwight Merriman and Eliot Horowitz. Being a document database does not mean storing Microsoft Word documents, but rather it means storing semi-structured data. You can input arbitrary binary JSON objects (BSON) into a MongoDB database. It runs on UNIX machines as well as Windows and supports replication and sharding.
Your Linux distribution probably includes a MongoDB package, so go ahead an install it if you have not done so already. Alternatively, you can download a precompiled binary or get the MongoDB source code from http://www.mongodb.org and compile it yourself.
On a Debian 7 system, you can install MongoDB with the following command:
# apt-get install mongodb
After installing MongoDB, start the MongoDB server process with:
# service mongodb start
Similarly, you can stop the running MongoDB server with:
# service mongodb stop
After installation, type
mongo --version in your
UNIX shell to find the MongoDB version you are using, and type
mongo to enter the MongoDB shell and check whether the
MongoDB server process is running.
By default, the MongoDB server process listens to localhost using the 27017 port. You can change it if you want, but if both the MongoDB server and the Django installation are on the same machine, it is more secure to leave it as it is.
The configuration file for MongoDB is /etc/mongodb.conf. Nevertheless, if you want to run multiple MongoDB servers on the same UNIX machine, you can bypass the /etc/mongodb.conf file and utilize command-line options that allow you to use a different port number, a different IP or even a different MongoDB configuration file.
Figure 1. MongoDB Terminology
Figure 1 shows the most useful MongoDB terms in relation to their respective SQL terms.
Starting the MongoDB server process (mongod) on a Linux machine without any parameters and without root privileges should generate output similar to the following:
$ mongod
mongod --help for help and startup options

Django Basics
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It allows you to build Web applications quickly. Instagram, Mozilla and Pinterest use Django.
Simply put, Django is a collection of libraries written in Python. In order to create a site using Django, you basically write Python code that uses the Django libraries. If you already have a good working knowledge of Python, you have to understand only how the Django libraries work.
Django follows a slightly changed version of the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern called Model Template View (MTV). The MTV handles the Controller work by the core, and all the other work is done in Models, Templates and Views. According to Django's philosophy, what is truly important is not terminology but getting things done.
On a Debian 7 system, you can install Django with the following command:
# apt-get install python-django
To make sure that everything works as expected, type the following Django command, which prints the version of Django:
# django-admin version

Commons talk:When to use the PD-signature tag
An observation[edit]
I think we should put this on hold until we either find 1) case law specifically pertaining to signatures, rather than using our own home-brewed reading of US law, or 2) legal advice to the same effect. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 08:47, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think there is a real need for some general guidance even in the absence of explicit case law, for example to avoid repeatedly having to discuss this issue in DRs such as Commons:Deletion requests/PD-ineligible signatures? and Commons:Deletion requests/More signatures. Decided cases cover only a very small proportion of copyright law, and Commons could not function if we were to adopt your proposal (1). Legal advice we obtain from wherever we can, including practitioners' texts, but in the absence of a fund to allow us to obtain international copyright advice on a full fee-paying basis we have to do the best we can. That is already hugely better than the vast majority of image repositories on the internet, and we are getting better. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 20:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with MichaelMaggs; that would amount to paralysis. Signatures would seem to uncopyrightable just about everywhere, so it is likely that no one would even try to bring a lawsuit regarding them in many countries. The U.S. Copyright Office bluntly saying A signature is not protected by copyright doesn't leave much room for other interpretation. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I propose to add the {{trademark}} tag to signatures as well, as certain signatures are trademarked even if not protected by copyright, e.g. Audrey Hepburn's (see [1] - "Signature trademark licensed by Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti..."). I'm just not sure whether it should be added only to signatures which are known to be trademarked or to all of them (the template says "This work contains material which may be subject to trademark laws in one or more jurisdictions", so there's a "may"...) Gestumblindi (talk) 20:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Signatures are capable of being protected by trademark, although the vast majority of them are not. I don't think the {{trademark}} tag should be used indiscriminately; instead, use it to tag signatures which are known to be trademark-protected. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- I have added a section to explain this. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Does any one knows about India? It is not ok for UK and assuming that India is one of the "Common law countries" I would expect that it is not ok. But I would prefer to "know" and not just "expect". --MGA73 (talk) 23:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
- I suspect no one really knows. The section here you quote suggests many UK signatures may be copyright (the UK has a much lower bar on originality than the US) but there probably is no relevant case law. Anyone stating that a particular UK signature is or is not copyright will merely be giving an opinion, though possibly an informed one. As for India, because law in India is based on English common law, the situation there may be the same (or may not be!). The only way anyone will ever "know" is when a case is decided in the courts. What seems agreed is that a signature is an artistic work rather than a literary one so it is potentially copyright if it shows sufficient originality whereas the mere words of someone's name would not be subject to literary copyright. Many "Indian" signatures appear at http://www.indianautographs.com/ and the fact that "© copyright 2010. Thakkar Numismatic and Art Foundation. All rights reserved." appears at the foot of each page suggests to me the site owner does not care about people's copyright rather than that he has assured himself over the legal situation. My personal view is that these signatures should be deleted (for reasons of privacy rather more than copyright) unless there is evidence that the individual has suitably released their signature. en:Wikipedia:Signatures of living persons takes much the same view but it is not clear whether "the person has publicly published their own signature" in the case of those on the Indian website. Thincat (talk) 10:41, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- That is basically my take. I doubt it has come up often in court cases, so it's going to be hard to tell for most countries. Even this UK source thinks that signatures probably aren't copyrightable even in the UK. Canada has a similar threshold at least in wording (skill, labour, and judgement), but they seem to have a bit higher threshold in recent years -- Tele-Direct v American Business Information (about library copying of court decision compilations) denied copyright protection to a phone book (much like Feist vs Rural) and CCH Canadian Ltd. v. Law Society of Upper Canada appear to have backed away somewhat from some UK precedents (which defined original as simply not being a copy, and which I think some of the guesses regarding signatures were based on) and instead required at least some skill and judgement involving intellectual effort (thus rejecting pure sweat of the brow), though not as high as the U.S. requirement of creativity. But I'm not aware of any case which has explicitly considered signatures specifically (there or the UK). Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:27, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Is a photograph of an autograph of a celebrity subject to copyright?[edit]
Is a photograph/scan of an autograph of a celebrity on a book page or any other item subject to copyright? Is the nationality of the owner of the autographed item / owner of autograph (celeb) pertinent? --J Raghu (talk) 16:28, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
The argument at this page makes a convincing case that a signature wouldn't be copyrightable in Cambodia: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Khem Veasna Signature.PNG. I am not a lawyer, so I cannot evaluate such a claim. Personally I suspect that copyright law isn't mature enough in Cambodia to know for certainty either way. Still, I think the above law is as close as we're ever going to get to figuring out whether a signature is copyrightable, and maybe we should add Cambodia as OK. Thoughts?

World lost great showman in Dave Hoy
Ah, that David Hoy! What an incomparable showman he was!
I learned moments ago (April 1981) that he is dead, felled by a heart attack, at his home in Paducah, Ky., just a few months shy of his 51st birthday.
He was a big, bearded man — well more than 6 feet tall, with a girth and breadth and brawn to match — and there was a joy in him that is seldom duplicated.
There was something about Dave that caused a room to light up when he entered it, and to fall into twilight when he left.
I guess everybody always was waiting for him to do a trick, and he could do tricks with the best of them. He could do things that did not seem possible, so that you squinted and studied, trying to figure them out.
But you never could.
And that laugh made you feel good, just hearing it.
I knew Dave a long, long time, reaching back to the days when he was a radio newsman in Evansville.
And though he shot to national prominence in later years as a psychic, capable of odd and eerie predictions, it was not as a psychic that I remember him best.
I remember him as an extraordinary card trick magician, a demanding craft he picked up as a kid, and then practiced and practiced until he was a master of it.
He took me into his basement once and for more than two hours performed one card trick after another with the skill, timing and patter of the showman, so that I sat there with my eyes bugged out, fighting envy.
He even taught me a simple trick that afternoon, but by the time I got home to astound Bernice, I had forgotten some vital step and it didn't work. Bernice called me Houdini for the next couple of months, until I got about half sore.
I also remember the balmy Friday evening when Dave came to my newsroom cubbyhole and asked would I like to go for a ride.
Dave drove to the foot of Main Street near the river and removed his thick, horn-rimmed glasses, without which he was virtually blind.
"Now, Joe," he said. "I am going to put this bag over my head, without my glasses on, and drive along Main Street."
I guess I looked suspicious because he handed me the bag for my inspection. I turned it inside out, slipped it over my head and drew the string around my Adam's apple. I could not see a thing.
I frankly didn't know if I wanted to ride with him or not.
But we set off down that busily traveled street, the black bag making him resemble a man climbing to the gallows.
People turned and gawked and poked one another. Little kids trotted along on the sidewalk, expecting a bad crash.
I did, too.
But Dave drove, one arm casually across the convertible's back seat, without an error. He stopped when the light was red. He went ahead when the light was green. He didn't hit a solitary pedestrian.
I have no idea how he did it. And he wouldn't tell me.
I never could quite figure Dave out — whether he was a showman or whether he did have some almost miraculous power.
He went on to much greater things in that field of magic and extrasensory perception and psychic surprises. He wrote books and appeared in clubs and auditoriums and on radio and TV across the country.
But I remember him best with that goofy black bag over his head, his thick glasses on the seat, driving flawlessly along Main Street on a busy Friday evening, with people gawking at him.
But people usually gawked when David Hoy was around, just waiting to see what he would do next.

Article: Diverse effects of hypothermia therapy in patients with severe traumatic brain injury based on the CT classification of the Traumatic Coma Data Bank.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A multicenter randomized controlled trial of patients with severe traumatic brain injury who received therapeutic hypothermia or fever control was performed from 2002 to 2008 in Japan (BHYPO). There was no difference in the therapeutic effect on traumatic brain injury between the two groups. The efficacy of hypothermia treatment, and the objective of the treatment, was reexamined based on a secondary analysis of the BHYPO trial in 135 patients (88 treated with therapeutic hypothermia and 47 with fever control). This analysis was performed to examine clinical outcomes according to the CT classification of the TCDB on admission. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and mortality at 6 months after injury. Good recovery and moderate disability were defined as favorable outcomes. Favorable outcomes in young patients (50 years old) with evacuated mass lesions significantly increased from 33.3% with fever control to 77.8% with therapeutic hypothermia. However, patients with diffuse injury III who were treated with therapeutic hypothermia had significantly higher mortality than patients treated with fever control. It was difficult to control intracranial pressure with hypothermia for patients with diffuse injury III, but hypothermia was effective for young patients with an evacuated mass lesion.Journal of Neurotrauma 09/2014; DOI:10.1089/neu.2014.3584 · 3.97 Impact Factor
Article: Survey of Brain Temperature Management in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury in the Japan Neurotrauma Data Bank[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and effects of brain temperature management in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). A total of 1091 patients were registered from the Japan Neurotrauma Data Bank Project 2009. Those with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 9 or more, a GCS score of 3, bilateral dilated pupils, or cardiopulmonary arrest on arrival were excluded. This left a total of 401 patients. Patients were classified into three groups: no temperature management, with no intervention for brain temperature (225 patients, 56.1%), intensive normothermia (129 patients, 32.2%), and hypothermia (47 patients, 11.7%). Patients' age, GCS score, pupillary abnormality, Injury Severity Score (ISS), intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and outcome according to CT classification (TCDB classification) on admission were examined. Patients were significantly older in no temperature management (average age: 61.5 y.o.) compared with normothermia (53.6 y.o.) and hypothermia (46.9 y.o.). ICP monitoring was significantly decreased in 85.1% of patients in hypothermia, 42.6% in normothermia, and 14.7% in no temperature management. Favorable outcome rate were significantly higher in hypothermia (52.4%) compared with normothermia (26.9%) and no temperature management (20.7%) with evacuated mass lesions in contrast to diffuse injury. Multivariate analysis in patients with evacuated mass lesion showed that GCS (≥ 6 pts), and hypothermia were independent factors related to a favorable outcome. Appropriate thermoregulations of the brain for individual patients with various types of TBI are important.Journal of neurotrauma 09/2013; 31(4). DOI:10.1089/neu.2013.3057 · 4.25 Impact Factor
Article: External carotid artery stenting and superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis for internal carotid artery occlusion with external carotid artery severe stenosis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Superficial temporal artery (STA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) anastomosis may have inadequate effects in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and severe stenosis of the ipsilateral external carotid artery (ECA), because poor blood flow in the STA leads to insufficient flow to the MCA. In these patients, dilation of the stenotic ECA is required to improve the blood flow in the STA before STA-MCA anastomosis. A 71-year-old man presented with left hemiparesis and dysarthria. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an old watershed infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere. Right carotid angiography showed right ICA occlusion and severe ipsilateral ECA stenosis. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) demonstrated severe hemodynamic insufficiency in the right MCA territory. Instead of endarterectomy of the ECA, angioplasty and stenting (CAS) for ECA was performed to ensure adequate blood flow in the STA, due to the history of myocardial infarction and bifurcation of the common carotid artery at a high level (C2 level). Then STA-MCA anastomosis was performed 1 month later. Postoperative SPECT demonstrated marked improvement of hemodynamic insufficiency in the right MCA territory. After treatment, the patient had no ischemic events. This case suggests external CAS together with STA-MCA anastomosis is a good therapeutic option for a patient with symptomatic ICA occlusion and severe stenosis of the ipsilateral ECA if external CEA is difficult to perform.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 01/2012; 52(12):906-9.

Article: Progression of stenosis into occlusion of the distal posterior cerebral artery supplying an occipital arteriovenous malformation manifesting as multiple ischemic attacks.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 31-year-old healthy male presented with a rare case of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) manifesting as repeated ischemic attacks and cerebral infarction causing left sensori-motor disturbance. Neuroimaging revealed cerebral infarction in the right thalamus as well as right occipital AVM without bleeding. The AVM was mainly fed by the right angular artery, and the right posterior cerebral artery (PCA) showed mild stenosis and segmental dilation at the P(2)-P(3) portion. After referral to our hospital, transient ischemic attacks causing left homonymous hemianopsia, and left arm and leg numbness were frequently recognized. Additional imaging revealed a new ischemic lesion in the occipital lobe, and repeated cerebral angiography showed right PCA occlusion at the P(2)-P(3) segment. Cerebral AVM presenting with cerebral infarction due to occlusion of feeding arteries is rare. In our case, intimal injury due to increased blood flow or spontaneous dissection of the artery were possible causes. We should monitor any changes in the architecture and rheology of the feeding vessels during the clinical course to prevent ischemic complications.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 01/2012; 52(12):899-902.

ABSTRACT: The Japanese Society of Neurotraumatology announced guidelines for management of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 2000. To evaluate subsequent implementation of these guidelines, we investigated current severe TBI practices in Japan. A questionnaire regarding management of severe TBI was sent to each of the 384 Japanese Neurosurgical Society specialist training medical centers and answers were received by mail from 233 centers (60.7%). Of the medical centers, 29% have neurosurgeons in their emergency department. Initial TBI treatment responsibility resided in the Departments of Neurosurgery in 34% of the medical centers, in the emergency department in 29%, and in 36% responsibility is assigned to both departments. Surgery was performed by neurosurgeons in 90% of the centers and postoperative management was assigned to neurosurgeons in 76%. Acute stage magnetic resonance imaging was done in 52% of the centers. An intracranial pressure sensor was inserted in 55%, and jugular venous oxygen saturation was measured in 21%. Hypothermia therapy was performed in 47%, positive normothermia therapy was administered in 76%, and barbiturate therapy was administered in 70%. Of the centers, 94% acknowledged the guidelines but only 72% of the centers implemented protocols that conformed to the guidelines. Neurosurgeons in Japan are positively involved in management of severe TBI, but few medical centers monitor TBI patients. Many medical centers find it difficult to conform to the guidelines due to lack of neurosurgeons and equipment. These problems can be addressed by consolidation of neurosurgeons into centralized centers and improvement of the medical insurance system.World Neurosurgery 03/2011; 75(3-4):563-8.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy is a cerebrovasuclar disease caused by NOTCH3 mutations, usually localized to exons 3 and 4. This report describes the clinical and neuroradiological findings of 2 subjects of two unrelated Japanese families who shared a common p.Arg332Cys mutation. The subject from family A presented syncope attacks as the sole clinical presentation at the beginning of his disease course. The subject from family B showed recurrent ischemic attacks, followed by a large intracranial hemorrhage. This is the first report to describe the detailed phenotypes of patients with a rare p.Arg332Cys mutation in Japan.Internal Medicine 01/2011; 50(22):2833-8.

Article: Neuroprotective effects of ebselen following forebrain ischemia: involvement of glutamate and nitric oxide.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ebselen is a mimic of glutathione peroxidase that reacts with peroxynitrite and inhibits nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Ebselen has beneficial effects on the neurological outcome of patients with stroke. In this study, the mechanisms by which ebselen can elicit neuroprotective effects against ischemic brain injury were investigated in male Wistar rats. Experimental forebrain ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion with hemorrhagic hypotension. Ebselen was administered to animals in the treatment group 2 hours prior to the induction of forebrain ischemia, and placebo was administered in the control group. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured by the hydrogen clearance method. Cortical extracellular levels of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) and NO were evaluated using in vivo microdialysis. Neuronal damage in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus was assessed in brains harvested after a 24-hour period of survival. CBF did not recover to normal physiological levels after ischemic insults in either the control or treatment groups. The differences in the sequential changes in extracellular EAA and NO levels between groups were not statistically significant. There was a significantly larger mean density of intact, undamaged neurons in the CA1 subfield in the treatment group than in the control group. The neuroprotective effects of ebselen were reflected in the histological findings, without significant inhibition of glutamate release or NO synthesis during the acute phase of experimentally induced cerebral ischemia.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 01/2011; 51(5):337-43.

Article: Significance of differences between brain temperature and core temperature (delta T) during mild hypothermia in patients with diffuse axonal injury.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The differences between brain and bladder temperature (delta T), and the relationship of delta T to cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjO(2)) were studied during hypothermia in 11 patients with severe traumatic brain injury, of whom 5 underwent conservative treatment for diffuse axonal injury (DAI) (DAI group) and 6 who underwent decompressive craniectomy for hematoma (SDH group). All patients underwent hypothermia treatment. Brain temperature was monitored via an intraparenchymal catheter. Bladder temperature was used as the core temperature. SjO(2) was measured continuously. The outcome of all patients was evaluated at discharge using the Glasgow Outcome Scale. Delta T in the SDH group was significantly lower than that in the DAI group. No relationship was found between delta T and CPP during the investigation period. A significant correlation between delta T and SjO(2) was seen in the DAI group, but not in the SDH group. Decompressive craniectomy affects the brain temperature through external environmental factors. Measurement of brain temperature may be a reliable indicator of cerebral blood flow and brain metabolism in patients with DAI and closed cranium during hypothermia. Further experience is required to test this proposal.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 01/2011; 51(8):551-5. DOI:10.2176/nmc.51.551 · 0.49 Impact Factor
Article: Recovered neuronal viability revealed by Iodine-123-iomazenil SPECT following traumatic brain injury[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We evaluated cortical damages following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the acute phase with [(123)I] iomazenil (IMZ) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In all, 12 patients with cerebral contusion following TBI were recruited. All patients underwent IMZ SPECT within 1 week after TBI. To investigate the changes in distribution of IMZ in the cortex in the chronic phase, after conventional treatment, patients underwent IMZ SPECT again. A decrease in the accumulation of radioligand for the central benzodiazepine receptor in the cortex corresponding to the contusion revealed with computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were shown on IMZ SPECT in the acute phase in all patients. In 9 of 12 patients (75%), images of IMZ SPECT obtained in the chronic phase of TBI showed that areas with a decreased distribution of IMZ were remarkably reduced in comparison with those obtained in the acute phase. Both CT scans and MRI showed a normal appearance of the cortex morphologically, where the binding potential of IMZ recovered in the chronic phase. Reduced binding potential of radioligand for the central benzodiazepine receptor is considered to be an irreversible reaction; however, in this study, IMZ accumulation in the cortex following TBI was recovered in the chronic phase in several patients. [(123)I] iomazenil SPECT may have a potential to disclose a reversible vulnerability of neurons following TBI.Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism: official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 10/2010; 30(10):1673-81.

Article: [Cyst formation after radiosurgery for brain arteriovenous malformation treated with cystoperitoneal shunt].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gamma knife and CyberKnife radiosurgery are well established and less invasive treatments for arteriovenous malformation. Delayed cyst formation is a rare but well-known complication of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations. The optimal treatment of cysts forming after radiosurgery remains debatable. We present a case of cyst formation after radiosurgery for brain arteriovenous malformation that was treated with a cystoperitoneal shunt (C-P shunt). A 36-year-old woman presented with left hemiparesis and numbness. Computed tomography (CT) revealed intracranial hemorrhage in the right basal ganglia. Digital subtraction angiography revealed arteriovenous malformation in the brain. Intravascular embolization was performed three times and radiosurgery was performed twice, whereby complete obliteration of the nidus was achieved. Six and a half years later, routine follow-up magnetic resonance imaging revealed cyst formation, and the patient gradually developed left hemiparesis. First, we performed stereotactic cyst aspiration. This initially resulted in a reduction in the size of the cyst and disappearance of left hemiparesis, but within a short time, the cyst increased in size again and there was recurrence of hemiparesis. Therefore, an Ommaya reservoir was established; aspiration of the cyst through this reservoir brought about an initial reduction in cyst size and alleviation of symptoms; however, no further reduction in cyst size or improvement in symptoms could be achieved. Twenty months after the placement of the Ommaya reservoir, we performed a C-P shunt operation. After the operation, further reduction in the cyst size and complete symptomatic recovery were observed.No shinkei geka. Neurological surgery 08/2010; 38(8):751-6. · 0.13 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A new technique using a navigation system to minimize the influence of brain shift and to perform precise resection of brain tumors is demonstrated. To determine the resection plane, one to six tubes were inserted around the tumor under the guidance of a navigation system before dural incision. This technique termed the "navigation-guided fence-post tube" (NGFP) procedure was used to treat 34 patients with intraaxial brain tumors including gliomas (23 cases), malignant lymphomas (4 cases) and metastatic tumors (7 cases). Tumors were removed totally in 23 cases (67.6%), subtotally (95% or more removal) in 6 cases (17.6%) and partially (less than 95% removal) in 5 cases (14.7%). The cases with subtotal or partial resection contained tumors that were close to or involved the eloquent area, or disseminated lesions. No complications due to tube insertion occurred. NGFP is a useful and safe technique for brain tumor surgery with no influence of brain shift during tumor resection.min - Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery 04/2010; 53(2):86-90.

Article: Operative open intra-aneurysmal thrombectomy for ruptured cerebral aneurysm and peripheral ischemia associated with vasospasm[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The endovascular approach has become the standard treatment for ruptured aneurysms during the vasospasm risk period following subarachnoid hemorrhage; however, it may be disadvantageous under certain conditions. We report a patient with a ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm with severe vasospasm and thrombosis within the aneurysm immediately after angiography. Emergent operative open thrombectomy of the intra-aneurysmal thrombus restored blood flow to the ischemic penumbra territory demonstrated by single photon emission CT scan and diffusion-weighted MRI.Journal of Clinical Neuroscience 04/2010; 17(4):517-20.

Article: Preoperative Prediction of Outcome in 283 Poor-Grade Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Project of the Chugoku-Shikoku Division of the Japan Neurosurgical Society[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The management of patients with poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be controversial. The objective of this study was to examine predictors of outcome of poor-grade SAH after surgical obliteration of the aneurysm. The study was performed as a retrospective review of 283 patients with poor-grade SAH who underwent surgical obliteration of the aneurysm at multiple centers in Chugoku and Shikoku, Japan. A favorable outcome at discharge was achieved in 97 of the 283 patients (34.3%). Age (p < 0.001), World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade V at admission (p = 0.002), improvement in WFNS grade after admission (p = 0.002), Fisher grade (p = 0.039) and a low-density area (LDA) associated with vasospasm on computed tomography (CT; p < 0.001) showed a significant association with outcome. Further analysis of WFNS grades indicated that most patients who only improved to preoperative grade IV from grade V at admission did not have a favorable outcome. Multivariate analysis identified age (especially of > or =65 years; p < 0.001), WFNS grade V (p < 0.001) and LDA associated with vasospasm on CT (p < 0.001) as predictors of a poor outcome, and improvement in WFNS grade (p = 0.001) as a predictor of a favorable outcome after surgical obliteration of the aneurysm. Advanced age, WFNS grade V, improvement in WFNS grade, and LDA associated with vasospasm on CT were found to be independent predictors of clinical outcome, whereas rebleeding, early aneurysm surgery and treatment modality (surgical clipping or Guglielmi detachable coil embolization) were not independently associated with outcome in patients with poor-grade aneurysm.Cerebrovascular Diseases 01/2010; 30(2):105-13.

Article: Clinical Outcomes and Management Strategies of Ruptured Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage with Surgical Clipping as a First Choice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We compare outcomes of ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage mainly treated by surgical clipping between 2000 and 2004 (early term) with outcomes of patients mainly treated by surgical clipping between 2005 and 2007 (late term) with first selection of endovascular coiling to poor-grade, posterior circulation, or elderly patients. Between January 2000 and September 2007, 287 patients were treated and 147 and 140 patients belonged to early and late terms, respectively. Poor grade patients (Hunt and Kosnik Grade IV, V) comprised 24.5% and 34.5% (NS), posterior circulation patients comprised 14.3% and 10.7% (NS), and, elderly patients (over 70 year-old) comprised 23.1% and 35.0% in early and late terms, respectively. The rate of elderly was significantly higher in late term than in early (p<0.05). Endovascular coiling was performed on 10.9% and 29.8% of patients in early and late terms, respectively, and the rate was significantly higher in late term than in early (p<0.01). Good outcomes were assessed with modified Rankin Scale of 0-2 at 6 months. Good outcomes were 61.2% and 62.1% in early and late terms, respectively (NS). In poor-grade patients, good outcomes were 13.9% and 27.7% (NS), in posterior circulation, 47.6% and 53.3% (NS), and in elderly, 26.5% and 53.5% in early and late terms, respectively, and the rate of good outcomes in elderly was significantly higher in late term than in early (p<0.05). Outcomes of ruptured aneurysmal patients were significantly improved in elderly patients, but not in poor grade, nor in posterior circulation, due to first selection of endovascular coiling. Despite the significant increase of elderly patients, total outcomes of ruptured subarachnoid hemorrhage in late term were not inferior to those of early term.Surgery for Cerebral Stroke 01/2010; 38(1):1-6.

Article: Continuous hypertension and tachycardia after resection of a hemangioblastoma behind the dorsal medulla oblongata: relationship to sympathetic overactivity at the neurogenic vasomotor center Case report[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A very rare case of continuous hypertension and tachycardia after excision of a cerebellar hemangioblastoma at the dorsal medulla oblongata is presented. This 21-year-old man was admitted to the authors' hospital with a headache and dizziness. Radiological examination revealed a tumor located behind the dorsal medulla oblongata and compressing it substantially. The tumor was completely resected, but after the surgery the patient experienced prolonged hypertension and tachycardia. Postoperative MR imaging showed a small injury at the dorsocaudal medulla that was located at the caudal site of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS). Because the NTS has been reported to play a central role in cardiovascular regulation along with the rostral ventrolateral medulla, the authors considered it possible that the NTS injury was the cause of the prolonged elevation of sympathetic tone.Journal of Neurosurgery 11/2009; 113(2):369-73.

ABSTRACT: The Il13ra2 gene is often overexpressed in brain tumors, making Il13ra2 one of the vaccine targets for immunotherapy of glioma. In this study, using a mouse glioma model, the authors tested the hypothesis that vaccination using dendritic cells transfected with Il13ra2 mRNA induces strong immunological antitumor effects. A plasmid was constructed for transduction of the mRNAs transcribed in vitro into dendritic cells. This was done to transport the intracellular protein efficiently into major histocompatibility complex class II compartments by adding a late endosomal/lysosomal sorting signal to the Il13ra2 gene. The dendritic cells transfected with this Il13ra2 mRNA were injected intraperitoneally into the mouse glioma model at 3 and 10 days after tumor cell implantation. The antitumor effects were estimated based on the survival rate, results of histological analysis, and immunohistochemical findings for immune cells. The group treated by vaccination therapy with dendritic cells transfected with Il13ra2 mRNA survived significantly longer than did the control groups. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that greater numbers of T lymphocytes containing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were found in the group vaccinated with dendritic cells transfected with Il13ra2 mRNA. These results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of vaccination with dendritic cells transfected with Il13ra2 mRNA for the treatment of malignant glioma.Journal of Neurosurgery 11/2009; 113(2):270-9.

Article: Elevated concentrations of sphingosylphosphorylcholine in cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhage: A possible role as a spasmogen[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study investigates the role of sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) in the mechanisms underlying cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The levels of SPC were measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with SAH and also in an experimental canine model. CSF samples were collected from 11 patients with SAH, and from dogs that had received an injection of SPC into the cisterna magna to examine SPC kinetics in the CSF. SPC was assayed using solid-phase extraction and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The SPC concentrations in SAH patients on days 3, 8, and 14 after the onset of SAH were significantly higher than those in normal CSF. In the canine model, rapid dilution of SPC in CSF was observed. In combination with data from previous studies, these results suggest that SPC is involved in the development of cerebral vasospasm. Rapid dilution of SPC in CSF suggests that SPC is released into CSF at higher concentrations than those measured in the present study.Journal of Clinical Neuroscience 09/2009; 16(8):1064-8.

ABSTRACT: While the peri-infarct cortex is thought to be responsible for functional recovery, the site is also a strong candidate for post-stroke seizures. Since it is crucial to identify the conditions when the site is changed with such beneficial or detrimental results, the peri-infarct changes were investigated before and just after inducing a focal infarct on rat cortex. The receptive fields in the peri-infarct cortex began to increase a few hours after the infarct, and reached a statistical significance at 6 hours (Dunnett post hoc tests; p<0.05). In temporal association with these changes, EEG in the peri-infarct cortex showed epileptiform activities containing large-amplitude spike-and-wave discharges. The gross amplitude, peak-to-peak amplitude and burst frequency showed statistically significant increases within 4 hours, in comparison to those of the controls (Dunnett post hoc tests; p<0.05). FFT power spectrum analyses showed a distinct increase in approximately 25 Hz frequency bands in the post-stroke groups. The homogeneous area of the contralateral hemisphere in the infarct group, in contrast, did not show such plastic or excitability changes. This study demonstrated, for the first time, that the peri-infarct cortex acquires the characteristics of potential epileptogenesis and functional recovery within hours of a stroke.Neurological Research 09/2009; 32(6):666-9.

Article: Cerebrovascular moyamoya disease in a 5-year-old girl who underwent interruption of the right common carotid artery in the neonatal period Case report[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors report on the case of a girl with cerebrovascular moyamoya disease born with severe respiratory failure caused by a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Cardiopulmonary management included extracorporeal membrane oxygenation until the diaphragm defect was repaired. The right common carotid artery (CA) was interrupted and cannulated for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. When she was 5 years of age, the patient experienced ischemic symptoms in her right extremities. Angiography revealed stenosis of the terminal portion of the internal CA (ICA) with the development of moyamoya vessels on the left side of the brain; the right ICA was supplied by extracranial anastomotic arteries. Indirect extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery was performed in the left hemisphere, and the hypoperfusion improved. The same change in the intracranial ICA with the development of moyamoya vessels occurred on her right side when she was 7 years old. Decreased cerebral blood flow occurred twice, and the moyamoya vessels developed to compensate for the cerebral ischemia. However, the occlusion of the extracranial common CA in infancy induced extracranial anastomosis rather than moyamoya vessel proliferation, and collateral circulation was formed at the lesion site. This finding indicates that neoangiogenesis requires both cerebral ischemia and growth factors derived from the lesion.Journal of Neurosurgery Pediatrics 05/2009; 3(4):316-9.

Article: Mechanistic insight into neurotoxicity of tissue plasminogen activator-induced thrombolysis products in a rat intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion model.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) after ischemic stroke is effective. However, rtPA potentiates neuronal damage, and interactions between rtPA and thrombolysis products (TLP) have been reported to play a role in this. In the present study we investigated the mechanisms underlying rtPA- and TLP-induced neurotoxicity. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 60-min intraluminal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, and then treated with rtPA (10 mg/kg), TLP, or saline. To evaluate the effects of a free radical scavenger, treatment with edaravone and TLP was evaluated. To investigate the role of red blood cells (RBCs), RBC-depleted TLP was used. Neurological deficit scores, infarct volume, and immuno-histochemical localization of oxidative end products for lipid and DNA (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal [4-HNE] and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG]) were evaluated. TLP increased the infarct volume, worsened the neurological deficits, and increased accumulations of 4-HNE and 8-OHdG. Edaravone treatment significantly reduced the lesion volume and improved the neurological score. Both infarct volume and accumulation of oxidative products were significantly suppressed when RBC-depleted TLP was used. In this mechanical model of MCA occlusion, rtPA-induced TLP, especially in the presence of RBCs, contributed to neuronal damage by accelerating free radical injury.Journal of neurotrauma 04/2009; 26(9):1577-84.

This set is perfect for my son's room. It's a comfortable weight and had a masculine appearance.
We purchased a twin set and queen set for one of the bedrooms in our cabin. The style is perfect - somewhat rustic without being too masculine. The quality is good for the price. The colors are soft and neutral. I love it with the coordinating bear pillow and small pillows with buckles.
I sent away for a Hadley Plaid swatch from another site. All of the coordinating swatches arrived and the colors are beautiful but I can see how the pictures are deceiving. The Woolrich comforter is olive green, brown and the predominant color is a peacock blue. I ended up ordering another set with a definite green and navy plaid. However, I did order two Hadley Euro Shams. They are a soft, supple brown with leather trim accents. The look compliments another comforter set I purchased that has brown in it. The combined set looks beautiful in my son's room. More importantly, my son loves it and he's 16! Teenagers aren't always easy to please....
My son really like this. Just a FYI - the stripe is more greenish than blue.
For months I've been debating on purchasing this comforter. I kept hearing it's not what it looks like in the photos on the internet. While that is true it is still very nice, comfortable, and great quality. It is a bit darker then the photos but I still like it. Even though 2 of the shams didn't come in my order and Overstock was not able to give me the shams they did offer me some money back on my purchase. I am very happy with my order and I love sleeping with this very comfortable bedding.
Purchased this item for an update to my son's room. Looks rustic. He loves how thick and soft the comforter is. It is so thick, that when he "cheats" making his bed, and doesn't pull his bunched up sheets up, I can't tell... A bonus for both of us ;) I had to purchase accessories elsewhere, but overstock has the comforter set a good hundred dollars less than anyone else.

Below is a note that will be included in the Township Newsletter that will be sent to all Fairview Township residents.
Fairview Township took ownership of two new Pierce Arrow XT engines within the last 60 days. A committee of the volunteer firemen spent nearly 1 year to spec out and prepare for the construction of the new apparatus. The two engines each carry 750 gallons of water, have 2,000 GPM pumps, foam and rescue systems. The two engines have a combined cost of nearly $1,400,000.00 which was financed over a three year period by the Township.
The engines are designed to respond to fires and rescues in Fairview Township. One engine will be stationed at the 340 Lewisberry Rd Station and the other at the 520 Locust Rd Station.
The engines have the latest in safety equipment for the volunteers and fuel efficiency built in. New lighting and warning systems enhance the fire departments ability to respond to all locations in Fairview Township.
Township residences are reminded that the Fairview Township Volunteer Fire Department is seeking members to fight fires, work as fire police, and other activities in Fairview Township. The volunteer Fire Department founded in October 1954 just celebrated their 60th anniversary of serving residents of Fairview Township and the surrounding area.
The two new engines replaced 2 Darly Spartan engines acquired in 1994 which will be sold.

I hate these kinds of videos. They portray the entire party as being at the ultra Right of everything. Democrats could be shown to be just as bad. "I'm voting Democrat because I truely believe Biden when he said that the Republicans are going to lock me in chains." "I'm voting Democrat because I love seeing late term abortions." "I'm voting Democrat because I actually would like to pay 75% of my income to taxes." "I'm voting Democrat because I think a man should be able to marry a horse." Blah, blah, blah....

The Vancouver Canucks have picked up their play of late, even with their head coach absent. Facing the worst team in the Western Conference gives them the perfect opportunity to continue their momentum.
Vancouver looks to make it four wins in as many games this season against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.
The Canucks have gone 2-1 since head coach John Tortorella was suspended on Jan. 21, beating Phoenix 5-4 in overtime on Sunday. Kevin Bieksa scored his second goal of the game in overtime, lifting Vancouver to its third win in four tries following a 1-5-2 slide.
Schroeder gets call from AHL
Centre Jordan Schroeder might be in the Vancouver Canucks lineup for the first time in more than three months on Monday night.
The 23-year-old has been recalled from his conditioning stint with the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League.
Schroeder, who hasn't played in the NHL since Oct. 19 following ankle surgery, has been held without a point in three games with the Canucks this season and has three goals and nine points in 34 contests over the past two seasons with Vancouver.
— Doug Harrison, CBCSports.ca
After scoring just eight times in the previous seven games, five goals was a welcome sight for the Canucks.
''It wasn't your typical game," said Bieksa, who also had an assist.
"We've been struggling to score goals lately, so let's take some positive out of it. We put five in, some guys got on the scoresheet and we found a way to win when it came down to it."
A second matchup against the Oilers in a week could help the Canucks (27-17-9) win two straight for the first time since Dec. 22 and 29. They have outscored Edmonton 12-3 in winning all three meetings in 2013-14 and are 15-3-2 in the series at home since the 2007-08 season.
A struggling power play and the absence of forwards Henrik Sedin and Mike Santorelli are two reasons why Vancouver is struggling so much offensively. The Canucks are two for 34 on the man advantage over the last nine games, going 0-4 in a 2-1 win at Edmonton on Jan. 21.
''When a power play struggles it can take on a life of its own,'' said assistant coach Mike Sullivan, who is running the Canucks' bench in place of Tortorella.
Sedin, tied with twin brother Daniel for the team lead with 40 points, missed his third straight game Sunday with an upper-body injury, while Santorelli sat out for the fourth consecutive contest with the same ailment. Henrik's absence seems to be affecting Daniel, who has just one point in seven games.
Edmonton snapped a season high-tying six-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over Nashville on Sunday. Five different players scored and Ben Scrivens made 34 saves for the Oilers, who are three points ahead of NHL-worst Buffalo in the overall standings.
"It was nice to get out to an early lead and we carried momentum from shift after shift," Oilers forward Ryan Smyth said. "We needed desperately to get a win [and] now we have some confidence that we can win."
Smyth's team can't have much confidence playing on road, where it has lost seven straight games and 11 of 12. The Oilers have allowed four goals or more eight times in that 12-game span.
With games on back-to-back nights, Vancouver could start Eddie Lack against Edmonton after Roberto Luongo made 29 saves versus Phoenix. Lack has lost his last three starts despite a 2.13 goals-against average. Luongo, though, has posted a .958 save percentage in three wins against the Oilers this season.
Edmonton hopes to get captain Andrew Ference back after he sat out Sunday's win because of a head injury suffered Friday against the Coyotes.

From Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly.com,
The Flyers held meetings on Thursday plus an optional skate. Richards and a few other players skated with the Black Aces, including Chris Pronger, who sources said is expected to play in Game 5, but likely in a reduced role (read: no power play time).

OSCAR FILMS; Survivor, Philosopher, Gentleman, Star
By DAVID THOMSON
Published: March 9, 2003
IT is fitting that the fastidious Peter O'Toole (bookmaker's son turned gentleman) should have led us to reconsider the etiquette of that shame-faced award, the honorary Oscar. How lovely, he said, that at the age of 70 and with seven unrequited nominations on his record, he should now be on the receiving end of the academy's mortified politeness.
But then, as if out of respect for old comrades like Richard Harris and Richard Burton (the only other seven-time loser, and gone before the academy could tidy up), Mr. O'Toole added that no, how nice, but no. He'd rather struggle on and take his chances that a new role and a new picture might flat-out win.
Who knows what arm-twisting went on? Still, we are now being led to believe that Mr. O'Toole will attend his party. For the sake of what is so often a numbing evening, one prays this is so and that Mr. O'Toole has 10 minutes or so of clips and tribute, of his own superb talk and teasing, with some final suggestion that this statuette might be put in escrow. ''Not just yet!'' I can hear him saying, the way he said it one night on a London stage in the early 80's, in Shaw's ''Man and Superman,'' when he had to walk back and forth on the lip of the stage and swayed occasionally from the embrace of that steady companion, drink, and anxious supporters in the front row of the orchestra seats reached up to stop a possible fall. ''Not just yet, ladies and gentlemen!''
You do not have to have met Mr. O'Toole to know that he is not just a rare survivor and philosopher but a star from a grand and golden age. If you have doubts, just look again at the magnificent comic timing of Alan Swann, his swashbuckling cocktail of Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, John Barrymore and Johnnie Walker in ''My Favorite Year'' (1982) -- one of the seven no's. (After all, it was only a comedy.)
Like Mr. O'Toole himself, Alan Swann has the gaunt-visaged, wide-eyed look of a man who can believe in every fresh form that disaster can take. Mr. O'Toole has been told by the London press that he was a disgrace to the Old Vic and Shakespeare with his travesty of a Macbeth in 1980. He has been warned so many times of his own demise. And he has responded by perfecting the look and manner of a very polite, but very insolent, ghost. He is theater through and through, as witness his apprentice years at the Bristol Old Vic when he did one of the great Hamlets, along with Chekhov, Beckett and John Osborne's Jimmy Porter, plus the dame in the theater's annual pantomime. And then, after he had yielded a goodly part of his interior to surgery, he came back on the London stage in 1989 in the play ''Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell,'' a one-man show and a bow to being self-destructive, alcoholic but undefeated.
He has not often accepted tributes and awards. But maybe it was being 70 that persuaded him to go into the Colorado Rockies last August for a tribute at the Telluride Film Festival -- an event of such wonder it surely started the academy's thought processes. He came a little shyly, or hesitantly, to 9,000 feet. He had been warned of the altitude. And he sipped the one drink a doctor had allowed before entering the throng of that very sociable festival. That was Thursday night. By Sunday, he was the toast of the town, having engaged in a thrilling battle of literary quotations with Roger Ebert in the onstage tribute and having gone all over town to showings of ''Rough Shoot,'' a 1978 television film from the Geoffrey Household novel in which Mr. O'Toole plays an English sportsman who gets a shot at Hitler, and the film of ''Jeffrey Bernard.'' Then on Monday he hired a local guide and a gun and actually went shooting.
He was, as he has always been, a gent who gives great value. He is not just a marvel as a speaker but a very good writer; his memoir, ''Loitering With Intent,'' is not to be missed, no matter that it says relatively little about his own career and so much about his bookmaker father and Mr. O'Toole's preoccupation with Hitler, formed as a child listening to radio speeches, but since developed into scholarship.
It is acknowledged that this insouciant and not always organized man has had such troubles in his life that his career has often looked untidy. So be it, if that's your point of view; Mr. O'Toole does not offer the comfort of blaming anyone else. On the other hand, you might as well pick out these straws amid the untidiness: the central force that challenges sun, light and desert and holds ''Lawrence of Arabia'' (1962) together; the king, Henry II, in ''Becket'' (1964, with his pal Burton) and the same king in ''The Lion in Winter'' (1968), with Katharine Hepburn as his queen. (She was 25 years his senior, but he was used to that: at Stratford he had done ''The Taming of the Shrew'' with Peggy Ashcroft as his Kate.) Then there are ''Goodbye, Mr. Chips'' (1969), ''The Ruling Class'' (1972) and that uncanny, seductive tribute to every Hollywood madman, Eli Cross, the director in Richard Rush's ''Stunt Man'' (1980).

"Great Subject"
I wish that John McPhee had written this book, but I guess I am being greedy. At 72 I suppose McPhee could not have kept up with Paul Farmer well enough to do him justice. This stunning account of Dr. Farmers' work with the worlds sick and poor(the two seem to be synonymous) moved me more deeply than I could have imagined. Be prepared to sell your house and car and move to Central America.
