Faux Flu
For Elizabeth O'Gara and Co., Playing Ill Is the Thing
The patient is an actor, and the pain and symptoms are faked, but the goal is serious: to teach young doctors how to diagnose and deal sensitively with people in distress. So vivid are the portrayals that the med students often forget they are dealing with actors. "They gasp, stare, call time-outs," says Elizabeth O'Gara, 41, who hires the players for the seven-year-old UCLA program (most U.S. medical schools have adopted similar training). "Or they freeze if they have to tell a cancer victim he's got three months to live." O'Gara's symptomaniacs, culled from a pool of some 300 actors, perform in 15-to-30-minute sessions for 150 students a year, playing victims of everything from date rape to terminal cancer. "It's not like Seinfeld," says O'Gara, referring to a classic episode in which patient-actors try to outdo each other with outrageous symptoms. "They're not supposed to overact. The problem is up to the student to ferret out."
O'Gara was recruited from her previous job as an administrative assistant at the school on the strength of some acting experience. The "patients" she hires earn $25 an hour.
Although O'Gara's audiences may not applaud, they are appreciative. "You're allowed to make mistakes here before you see real patients," says Stacy Thurber, 24, a second-year med student. "Here they can fail safely," agrees O'Gara. "And no one sues for malpractice."

, welcome to Cullompton Town Council websiteThu, 2nd April 2015
Cullompton Town Council serving the Parish of Cullompton in Devon
The stunning scenery, the mild climate and relaxed way of life have attracted visitors to Cullompton from all over the UK as well as from overseas for many years. Many come back year after year. One major reason for visiting Cullompton in Devon is its position in the heart of some of the finest scenery in the West Country yet it's still very much a tranquil country area. Despite its perfect location, Cullompton has remained unspoilt, retaining its individual charm and only now gradually waking up to its potential as a rural retreat. There's a friendly feel to the place, with less rush and much less commercialism than in the nearby resort areas. It's a wonderful inland area to stay in and yet be within easy reach of so many attractions and coastal delights.
You can use the tabs to the left to find your way around the site.
Please contact us if you have questions concerning the work of the Town Council, if you have any concerns that you feel the Council should be aware of or where it can help or support you.
Work will commence shortly on the works to mitigate flooding at Heyridge Meadow. A plan of the proposed works can be found here.

I like Paul Roberts. I liked his book The End of Food. But I must admit that I was a bit underwhelmed by his recent article on sustainable farming in Mother Jones, "Spoiled: Organic and Local Is So 2008." That's not to say there's nothing to recommend it. His central premise -- that we way we're farming today isn't sustainable and that no large-scale model of what sustainable agriculture would look like currently exists -- is valid and important (as anyone who hangs out around here is well aware). And any article that gets its money quote from sustainable ag guru Fred Kirschenmann is certainly on the right track. Said Kirschenmann, "We've come to see sustainability as some kind of fixed prescription -- if you just do these 10 things, you will be sustainable, and you won't need to worry about it anymore." Which isn't true, of course. But that title! Shouldn't it be "conventional agriculture" that's so 2008? Meanwhile, there were far too many straw men in the article for my tastes (ever eaten a straw man? Blech!) Take, for example, the thought experiment supplied by environmental scientist Vaclav Smil on the effect of totally eliminating the use of synthetic fertilizer: Such an expansion, Smil notes, "would require complete elimination of all tropical rainforests, conversion of a large part of tropical and subtropical grasslands to cropland, and the return of a substantial share of the labor force to field farming -- making this clearly only a theoretical notion." That's probably accurate as far as it goes. But it's unclear how he modeled this version of organic agriculture - at a minimum it appears to be a vast oversimplification. And his conclusion then becomes the basis upon which to reject the whole organic concept. Meanwhile, look at one of Smil's central assumptions -- that "dietary habits remain constant," i.e. in his experiment we're all eating as much meat, high-fructose corn syrup, and processed foods as we are now. Well, to take one example, you don't have to look far to find folks who will tell you that current meat consumption, especially red meat consumption, is the sine qua non of unsustainability -- Roberts himself held forth at length on that very point in his book. By holding that constant, you've just pre-determined the outcome of your thought experiment. And look at a crucial element in Smil's calculation -- that he's trying to determine "the extra land we'd need for cover crops or forage (to feed the animals to make the manure)." Now I don't know for sure if he presumes the forage will be pasture or cereal (aka corn), but either way that's a pretty high bar he's set.
Do you know who picks your tomatoes? As Tom Philpott discovers during a trip to Florida tomato country, farmworkers suffer low wages, squalid living conditions, and even slavery.
Here's my plan to reform the food safety system -- take the asylum keys away from the inmates. The New York Times documents the absolute unmitigated disaster of our privatized, volunteer food safety system. But the first three paragraphs sum up the entirety of the problem: When food industry giants like Kellogg want to ensure that American consumers are being protected from contaminated products, they rely on private inspectors like Eugene A. Hatfield. So last spring Mr. Hatfield headed to the Peanut Corporation of America plant in southwest Georgia to make sure its chopped nuts, paste and peanut butter were safe to use in everything from granola bars to ice cream.The peanut company, though, knew in advance that Mr. Hatfield was coming. He had less than a day to check the entire plant, which processed several million pounds of peanuts a month.Mr. Hatfield, 66, an expert in fresh produce, was not aware that peanuts were readily susceptible to salmonella poisoning -- which he was not required to test for anyway. And while Mr. Hatfield was inspecting the plant on behalf of Kellogg and other food companies, the Peanut Corporation was paying him for his efforts. 1) Where's the FDA in all this and 2) how many logical flaws can you find in this system? Nowhere and lots. Food inspections are just too darn expensive -- let's have the food companies take care of it for us. And make no mistake: our friends in the food industry really, really don't want the government snooping around. Even when mild reforms are proposed, like toughening audit standards and automatically alerting federal authorities when problems arise, the food industry screams bloody murder. Which is funny tragic when you think about it, given recent events. If you want detailed reform proposals, ask Bill Marler. But at the end of the day there are three things that will fix food safety. Cut red tape, spend lots more money, and de-privatize the food safety business. Luckily that's just the kind of reform we're good at. We are good at doing those sorts of things. Aren't we?
Tom Vilsack has certainly got farm-state legislators talking. The buzz generated by the Obama administration's proposal to cut "direct payments" to farmers continues to grow. Unfortunately, all the sturm and drang may be for naught. And not necessarily because the cut to this particular agricultural subsidy will fail, but because it's not really reform. The original budget language certainly seemed promising as it linked the cut in government subsidies to a new market in "ecological services." Farmers could use this new revenue to offset the losses from the subsidy cut (and would also have a new incentive to farm more sustainably). But based on recent comments from Vilsack, that whole angle seems to have gone out the window. Instead, Vilsack appears to have decided that the best course of action is to pit farmers against hungry kids. According to Reuters: U.S. lawmakers will need to choose between supporting rich farmers or feeding more hungry children amid a slumping economy and a surging deficit, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on Monday.Vilsack said he already has heard concerns about the Obama administration's plan to redirect subsidy payments for large farmers into nutrition programs as a way to help end hunger by 2015 and stem the rising tide of childhood obesity."We will do our best to frame this discussion in that way, so that people understand: 30 million children, 90,000 farmers," Vilsack told Reuters after speaking to people who work with the nation's food banks and anti-poverty groups."It is a tough choice, but it's a choice that folks are going to have to make," he said. Leave aside the fact that the middle of a severe recession isn't the time to start getting stingy. More importantly, I didn't see anything in the budget that suggested the subsidy savings would go to nutrition -- the stated rationale for the cut was environmental. And it's surprising that Vilsack would go there in the first place. It's no accident that anti-hunger programs are legislated within the Farm Bill -- the better to balance demands from farm state and urban representatives. It's true that, as food writer Michael Pollan has long observed, this marriage of convenience helps perpetuate subsidies. But it's not at all clear that explicitly pitting farmers against hungry children is the way to go. While a cage match between 30 million children and 90,000 farmers would certainly meet the Hobbsian ideal (nasty, brutish, and short), the legislative process isn't about whose side enjoys a numerical advantage. The only measures of consequence in Congress are the size, strength, and acumen of your lobbying team -- and in that area Big Ag is hard to beat.
I'm hesitant to step in the middle of any debate over Alice Waters' contributions to food policy. But suffice it to say that, as she moves more and more aggressively into politics, she is taking some hits. Ezra Klein sums up the Alice Waters paradox this way: Good food -- the sort Waters features at her restaurant -- is considered a luxury of the rich rather than a social justice issue. As Waters frequently argues, no one is worse served by our current food policy than a low-income family using food stamps to purchase rotted produce at the marked-up convenience store. Her vision is classically populist: It democratizes the concrete advantages -- health, pleasure, nutrition -- that our current food system gives mainly to the wealthy. But her language is suffused with the values and the symbols of, well, the sort of people who already eat at Waters' restaurant. Thus, in promoting an agenda that benefits poor people with little access to fresh food, Waters tends to communicate mainly with rich people interested in fine dining. She's been fighting the elitist tag for some time -- as well as a reputation for being a bit, well, overbearing. According to a recent article in Gourmet, she overwhelmed even former President Clinton years ago with her passion over a White House vegetable garden. After receiving a letter from the Clintons suggesting that a front-lawn vegetable garden wasn't in keeping with the formal landscaping of the White House, Waters couldn't restrain herself: [S]he fired off another letter. Apologizing for "being so insistent," she begged to differ, reminding him that "L'Enfant's original plan for the capital city was inspired by the layout of Versailles, and at Versailles the royal kitchen garden is itself a national monument: historically accurate, productive, and breathtakingly beautiful throughout the year." It was the end of their correspondence. Ouch. And the Obamas, while unfailingly polite in person, have so far resisted Waters' attempts to be pulled into their circle of informal advisors. Having nothing to do with Waters, it's well-known that hobnobbing with aesthetes can be dangerous to your electoral prospects and the fact remains that Waters is, at heart, just that.
Tomorrow, I'm heading down to Immokalee, Florida, to check out conditions in our nation's tomato basket. During the growing season -- between December and May -- something like 90 percent of tomatoes consumed in the U.S. come from the area in south Florida anchored by Immokalee. I'm going as part of a delegation of food-oriented writers and activists including authors Frances Moore Lappé and Raj Patel, Slow Food USA president Josh Viertel, and others. For decades, working conditions in South Florida's prodigious tomato fields have ranged from ruthlessly exploitative to outright slavery. Even under the best conditions, wages are stagnant and workers live in poverty. Yet workers in the area, represented by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, have made headlines in recent years by forcing gigantic tomato buyers like Taco Bell and Burger King to pony up an extra penny a pound -- which would cost fast-food companies a tiny sliver of profit, but represent the first substantial wage gain for pickers in decades. There's a catch: the state's growers cooperative, the Florida Tomato Growers Exchange, refuses to pass on the raise to workers. Thus workers still get 45 cents for every 32-pound basket they fill -- a wage that hasn't budged in years, eroded by steady inflation. Immokalee is one of the hotspots of of a globalized, industrial food system. The plight of its workers -- many of them refugees from small farms in Mexico and Central America that have collapsed under the weight of that same system -- represents just another externalized cost of stocking supermarkets, fast-food outlets, and school cafeterias with "cheap" food. For a great brief backgrounder on the Immokalee situation, check out Barry Estabrook's piece in the current Gourmet. Look for a wrap-up of my Immokalee trip on Friday.
When President Barack Obama said during his recent address to Congress that "in this budget, we will... end direct payments to large agribusinesses that don't need them," he set off a firestorm of speculation. Now that the budget outline has been published, we finally have an understanding of what he meant. Yes, as we suspected, he was indeed referring to a specific subsidy program called "direct payments." Jill Richardson explains: Direct payments are a result of the 1996 farm bill. Prior to that, subsidies were given based on need. If you couldn't sell your crops at a price the government thought was fair, you got a subsidy to make up the difference...If you own land where commodities were grown (by you or someone else) in the past, you get a direct payment whether you grow anything or not. You could do nothing, potentially, and still receive a direct payment. Does that sound stupid? I think so too. Your direct payment is calculated on your "base acres." They keep a running average of how much you grew on your land (or how much somebody grew on your land if it wasn't you), and that yield determines how much you get in government cash. During the past farm bill debate, grain prices were high and farmers were doing well, but the direct payments kept flowing in. Meanwhile, the budget language looks like this [PDF]: As part of an effort to transition large farms from direct payments provided to owners of base acres to increased income from revenue derived from emerging markets for environmental services, the President's Budget phases out direct payments over three years to farmers with sales revenue of more than $500,000 annually... Large farmers are well positioned to replace those payments with alternate sources of income from emerging markets for environmental services, such as carbon sequestration, renewable energy production, and providing clean air, clean water, and wildlife habitat.
First it was the 2008 (nee 2007) Farm Bill. Then it was Obama's choices for the top USDA posts. Now it's the National School Lunch Program. Food issues once lived at the margins of U.S. …
This is a guest essay by Chip Ward, a former grassroots organizer/activist who has led several successful campaigns to hold polluters accountable. He described his political adventures in Canaries on the Rim: Living Downwind in the West and Hope's Horizon: Three Visions for Healing the American Land. This post was originally published at TomDispatch, and it is republished here with Tom's kind permission. ----- Now that we've decided to "green" the economy, why not green homeland security, too? I'm not talking about interrogators questioning suspects under the glow of compact fluorescent light bulbs, or cops wearing recycled Kevlar recharging their Tasers via solar panels. What I mean is: Shouldn't we finally start rethinking the very notion of homeland security on a sinking planet? Now that Dennis Blair, the new Director of National Intelligence, claims that global insecurity is more of a danger to us than terrorism, isn't it time to release the idea of "security" from its top-down, business-as-usual, terrorism-oriented shackles? Isn't it, in fact, time for the Obama administration to begin building security we can believe in; that is, a bottom-up movement that will start us down the road to the kind of resilient American communities that could effectively recover from the disasters -- manmade or natural (if there's still a difference) -- that will surely characterize this emerging age of financial and climate chaos? In the long run, if we don't start pursuing security that actually focuses on the foremost challenges of our moment, that emphasizes recovery rather than what passes for "defense," that builds communities rather than just more SWAT teams, we're in trouble. Today, "homeland security" and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that unwieldy amalgam of 13 agencies created by the Bush administration in 2002, continue to express the potent, all-encompassing fears and assumptions of our last president's Global War on Terror. Foreign enemies may indeed be plotting to attack us, but, believe it or not (and increasing numbers of people, watching their homes, money, and jobs melt away are coming to believe it), that's probably neither the worst, nor the most dangerous thing in store for us.

A few questions about the Galaxy S5
Will we be able to use wireless charging out of the box? I know the s4 needed a bigger back cover for wireless charging and that wasn't cool for me since the thinner the device the better.
Any word on pricing on contract?
And finally, will we be able to purchase a 32gb model from sprint? Last year they only carried the 16gb s4 and that's just really small. (I understand there's an SD card slot)

Re: A few questions about the S5.
I think your going to have to buy the wireless charging back, some articles says it's $199 (not sure, forgot) on contract and Sprint will care the 32gb of the S5, but it might come out a couple weeks later after the 16gb S5 comes out.

...so, I know it's a bit late, but we do have access to one 15-amp outlet in case anyone needs to bring a heating plate, crockpot, etc. Sorry I didn't mention this until now.
I see DEAD posts!
Thanks Alice, if further postings will make this thread disappear I'll make a small contribution toward that end.
It's too bad that on GardenWeb you can't delete a post that has outlived it's usefulness.
So...what about spring? It's never too early to decide on a date, especially since we have to reserve a pavilion.

- Prognostic Significance of Tumor-Positive Internal Mammary Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer: A Multicenter Cohort Study. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 26.
The introduction of the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer has renewed interest in lymphatic drainage to the internal mammary (IM) nodes. The clinical impact of tumor positive IM nodes is not completely clear. This study evaluated the incidence and impact on overall survival of metastatic IM SLNs.Between 1997 and 2010, 3685 patients underwent surgery including SLNB for primary breast cancer following an intratumoral or peritumoral radioactive-tracer injection. The presence of lymph node metastases was categorized according to the TNM-classification. Cumulative overall survival was estimated and the influence of metastases in the IM nodes and other factors was assessed by Cox-regression-analysis.In 754 patients (20.5 %) ipsilateral IM lymph nodes were visualized on preoperative lymphoscintigraphy, retrieval rate of IM SLNs was 81.0 %. IM metastases were detected in 130 patients (21.3 % of retrieved SLNs and 3.5 % of all patients respectively). The presence of IM metastases was associated with axillary metastases (p < 0.001). After a median follow-up of 61.2 months, 10.9 % of patients had died. In a multivariate analysis IM metastases did not have a significant effect on overall survival [HR] 1.20; CI: 0.73-1.98. In patients without axillary metastases (n = 2398), the presence of IM metastases (n = 43) was associated with worse survival [HR] 2.68; 95 % CI: 1.30-5.54.Overall, the presence of IM metastases did not effect overall survival independent of other prognostic factors including axillary metastases. However, the small subgroup of patients who had IM metastases alone had worse outcome than patients without any regional lymph node metastases.
- A Predictive Score for Secondary Cytoreductive Surgery in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (SeC-Score): A Single-Centre, Controlled Study for Preoperative Patient Selection. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 26.
The standard treatments of patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) remains poorly defined. Chemotherapy (CT) and secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) represent both valid options, even if several studies demonstrated a greater survival benefit, with survival rates up to 62 months, for platinum-sensitive patients undergoing complete SCS. The purpose of the present study was to develop a predictive model, named SeC-Score (SeC-s), to assess the risk of optimal SCS, including, for the first time in literature, HE4.All patients affected by suspicious ROC at radiologic imaging, referred to the Department of Gynecology of Campus Bio-medico of Rome, were prospectively included in the study. The preoperative variables considered in our predictive model were: age, residual tumour (RT) at primary cytoreduction (0 vs. >0 cm), preoperative CA125 and HE4, and ascites at recurrence. After exploratory laparotomy, patients were submitted to secondary SCS (Group A) or addressed to CT (Group B).A total of 135 patients with ROC were considered for the analysis. Preoperative CA125, HE4, ascites, and RT at first surgery were found statistically significant and included into a multivariate logistic regression model to determine the risk to not optimal SCS. In the overall cohort of patients, SeC-s reported sensitivity and specificity of 82 and 83 %, respectively (PPV = 0.79, NPV = 0.81).Our data support the use of SeC-s to preoperative triage patients suitable of optimal SCS, even if external validation is needed.
- Bilateral Risk-Reduction Mastectomy in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers: A Meta-analysis. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 26.
Women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations have substantially elevated risk of developing breast cancer. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy (BRRM) in reducing breast cancer risk in women carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.The Pubmed, MEDLINE and Scopus databases were searched to retrieve articles written in the English language. Two investigators independently extracted the characteristics and results of the selected studies. Only prospective trials with available absolute numbers of breast cancer and death events were included. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated using fixed or random effects model.Meta-analysis of four prospective studies, including 2635 patients, demonstrated a significant risk reduction of breast cancer incidence in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers receiving BRRM (HR 0.07; 95 % CI 0.01-0.44; p = 0.004). Among patients without previous risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, a significant benefit was similarly recorded (HR 0.06; 95 % CI 0.01-0.41; p = 0.005).Performing BRRM may lead to highly significant risk reduction of breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. These data allow clinicians to discuss more in-depth with patients all the available options in order to design better management strategies.
- Pyruvate Kinase M2 Modulates Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Chemotherapy Response by Regulating the Pentose Phosphate Pathway. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 26.
Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key glycolytic enzyme that regulates the Warburg effect and is necessary for tumor growth. However, its role in chemoresistance has not been fully elucidated.PKM2 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry in 205 tissue samples from thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who had undergone curative surgery (100 patients with surgery alone and 105 patients with preoperative chemotherapy). The relationship between PKM2 expression and clinicopathological factors, including chemotherapy response was examined. In vitro assays were performed to determine the mechanism of PKM2-related chemoresistance, using esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines.PKM2 expression significantly correlated with tumor cell differentiation, tumor depth, and tumor stage. Strong PKM2 expression significantly correlated with decreased survival rates and poor response to chemotherapy. In vitro assays showed that PKM2 inhibition significantly decreased cisplatin resistance and increased apoptosis. In siPKM2-transfected cells, pyruvate kinase activity paradoxically increased, followed by increased intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The ratio of NADPH/NADP, which is an indicator of glucose influx into pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), significantly decreased in siPKM2-transfected cells upon cisplatin treatment compared with control cells.PKM2 expression is associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma chemoresistance. PKM2 inhibition can restore cisplatin sensitivity by inactivating PPP.
- Impact of Periodic Endoscopy on Incidentally Diagnosed Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Findings in Surgically Resected and Confirmed Lesions. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 26.
Although gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are usually identified by endoscopic examinations, the diagnostic value of endoscopy has not been fully evaluated. We assessed the diagnostic performance of endoscopy for gastric GISTs according to lesion characteristics. Furthermore, the benefits of periodic endoscopy prior to diagnosis of gastric GISTs were evaluated.We reviewed patients who underwent surgery for gastric GISTs at Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea, between January 2008 and April 2014. In addition, we administered a questionnaire to determine the usage of periodic endoscopic inspection and the period from the penultimate endoscopy to the diagnosis.Of 174 included patients, 109 (62.4 %) showed intraluminally growing GISTs and 65 (37.4 %) showed extraluminally growing GISTs. The proportions of lesions that were initially diagnosed via endoscopy were 99.1 % for intraluminally growing GISTs and 49.2 % for extraluminally growing GISTs (P < 0.001). In patients with intraluminally growing GISTs, patients who had undergone endoscopy within 3 years prior to the diagnosis showed smaller tumor sizes (P = 0.015) and fewer tumors with ulceration (7.1 vs. 28.4 %, P = 0.021). The proportion of GISTs with a high mitotic index did not differ according to the usage of periodic endoscopy (P = 0.639). In contrast, lesion characteristics of the extraluminally growing GISTs did not differ according to whether an endoscopy was performed within 3 years prior to the diagnosis.Endoscopic examinations had a limited role in the diagnosis of extraluminally growing GISTs. However, periodic endoscopy was associated with relatively earlier detection of growth in intraluminal gastric GISTs.
- Correlation Between F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Metabolic Parameters and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI-Derived Perfusion Data in Patients with Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 25.
The aim of this study was to establish possible relationships among the metabolic and vascular characteristics of breast cancer using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging.Sixty-seven female patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma (age 32-79 years) who underwent FDG PET/CT and DCE-MRI prior to cancer treatment were included in the study. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and heterogeneity factor (HF) were derived from FDG PET/CT. The DCE-MRI parameters K trans, K ep, and V e were obtained for all tumors, and relationships between the metabolic and perfusion parameters were sought via Spearman's rank correlation analysis. The prognostic significance of clinicopathological and imaging parameters in terms of recurrence-free survival (RFS) was also evaluated.No significant correlation between perfusion and metabolic parameters (p > 0.05) was found, except between SUVmax and V e (p = 0.001, rho = -0.391). Recurrence developed in 12 of the 67 patients (17.9 %, follow-up period 8-41 months). Age (p = 0.016) and HF (p = 0.027) were significant independent predictors of recurrence-free survival (RFS) upon multivariate analysis. The RFS of patients under 40 years of age was significantly poorer than that of older patients (p < 0.001). Survival of patients with more heterogeneous tumors (HF less than -0.12) was poorer than those with relatively homogenous tumors (p = 0.033).Tumors with higher levels of glucose metabolism (SUVmax values) exhibited higher tumor cellularities (V e values). Also, of the various metabolic and perfusion parameters available, tumor heterogeneity measured via FDG PET/CT (HF) may be useful in predicting RFS in breast cancer patients.
- Suppression of SAMSN1 Expression is Associated with the Malignant Phenotype of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 25.
Identification of molecular markers for sensitive detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is required to achieve efficacious personalized therapy.We focused here on SAM domain, SH3 domain, and nuclear localization signals 1 (SAMSN1) and investigated expression and methylation status of SAMSN1 in HCC cell lines and 144 pairs of surgical specimens.SAMSN1 was expressed at significantly lower levels in tumor tissue compared with the corresponding noncancerous tissues of patients with HCC. Analysis of HCC cell lines revealed that hypermethylation of the SAMSN1 promoter correlated with decreased expression of SAMSN1 mRNA. Furthermore, treating cells with a DNA-demethylating drug increased SAMSN1 transcription. The levels of SAMSN1 mRNA in noncancerous liver were not affected by background liver inflammation or fibrosis. Moreover, the levels of SAMSN1 mRNA in HCC tissues inversely correlated with tumor size and preoperative levels of proteins induced by vitamin K absence. The clinical significance of SAMSN1 was further indicated by the correlation between its decreased expression in patients with HCC and their shorter overall and recurrence-free survival as well as recurrence following initial resection. Moreover, multivariate analysis identified SAMSN1 as an independent prognostic factor of HCC progression. The expression pattern of SAMSN1 correlated significantly with that of SAMSN1 mRNA, making it possible to use PCR techniques to readily quantitate SAMSN1 expression in tumors.Our findings indicate that inhibition of SAMSN1 transcription through DNA hypermethylation may influence the progression of HCC and thus represent a novel biomarker of the phenotype of HCC cells.
- The Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Versus Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio: Which is Better as a Prognostic Factor in Gastric Cancer? [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 25.
As indicators of the systemic inflammatory response, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been proposed to predict the clinical outcome in some cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of NLR and PLR on the prognosis of gastric cancer.From 2000 to 2009, 1986 consecutive patients who underwent curative surgery for gastric cancer were enrolled. The optimal cutoff value of PLR and NLR was determined according to receiver operating characteristic analysis. We categorized the patients into the high or low PLR and NLR group based on the cutoff value, and the clinical features of these two groups were comparatively analyzed.The high NLR and PLR groups were significantly associated with poor prognosis. The NLR was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.403; p = 0.023]; however, the PLR was not (p = 0.788).Although both the PLR and NLR can reflect the prognosis, the NLR is more predictive of overall survival than the PLR.
- Feasibility of Gastrectomy with Standard Lymphadenectomy for Patients Over 85 Years Old with Gastric Cancer. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 25.
The feasibility of gastrectomy with standard lymphadenectomy for patients over 85 years of age is not known. This study investigated short- and long-term outcomes and the tolerability of gastrectomy with standard lymphadenectomy for patients over 85 years with gastric cancer.Altogether, 77 patients aged over 85 years underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer at the Cancer Institute Hospital, Japan from May 2000 to February 2012. Postoperative short-term outcomes and survivals were analyzed retrospectively. Standard lymphadenectomy was defined according to the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association guidelines. Lymphadenectomy without splenectomy during total gastrectomy was called "reduced" lymphadenectomy.Distal gastrectomy was performed in 51 patients, total gastrectomy in 20, remnant total gastrectomy in 5, and proximal gastrectomy in 1 patient. Gastrectomy with standard lymphadenectomy was initially planned for 50 (64.9 %) patients and completed in 42 (54.5 %) patients. The other 8 patients underwent reduced lymphadenectomy because they required R1 or R2 resection. There were no deaths. The morbidity rate was 55.8 % overall and 54.8 % with standard lymphadenectomy. The most frequent complication was intestinal hypoperistalsis (29.9 %). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 19 days (range 10-70 days). The median overall survival time was 46.8 months.Coupled with comprehensive postoperative medical care due to the relative high morbidity risk, gastrectomy with standard lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer may be acceptable for relatively healthy patients over 85 years of age. Decisions to reduce the extent of lymphadenectomy during gastrectomy should not be based on advanced age alone.
- Characteristics of Multifocal and Multicentric Breast Cancers. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Mar 25.
Multifocality and multicentricity are increasingly recognized in breast cancer. However, little is known about the characteristics and biology of these cancers and the clinical implications are controversial.A retrospective, institutional database was used to compare characteristics of multifocal (MF) and multicentric (MC) breast cancers with unifocal (UF) cancers to study concordance of histology and receptor status among primary and secondary foci and to evaluate predictors of lymph node positivity using multivariate logistic regression.Of 1495 invasive cancers, 1231 (82.3 %) were UF, 169 (11.3 %) were MF, and 95 (6.4 %) were MC cancers. When MF and MC cancers were compared with UF cancers, MC but not MF cancers were associated with young age at diagnosis, larger tumor size, lymphovascular invasion, and node positivity. MF but not MC tumors were more likely to be ER/PR+Her2+ tumors and less likely to be triple-negative cancers compared with UF tumors. MF tumors were more likely to be infiltrating ductal carcinomas with an extensive intraductal component, and MC tumors were more likely to be infiltrating lobular carcinomas. Concordance of histology and receptor status between primary and secondary foci was high and was similar for both MF and MC cancers. Multicentricity remained an independent predictor of lymph node positivity on multivariate analysis.MF and MC tumors seem to be biologically different diseases. MC is clinicopathologically more aggressive than MF disease and is more frequently associated with younger age and larger tumor size and also is an independent predictor of node positivity.

I was a teenager in the early 1970s, back when there weren't a lot of really good acne treatments like today. I had horrible acne, tried everything, and one day out of desperation I tried Jergens soap. To my amazement it cleared up my skin, and was my go to cleanser up through my early 20s, especially since it was cheap, by which time my skin calmed down and there were newer better cleansers finally available. It seemed like it was my little secret, because no one else used it and it was never advertised for acne, but it sure worked for me. I would still say "give it a try" to young people with acne, though!

Oh, how I wanted to like this. I long to be one of those women who rely on the simple, "old-fashioned" beauty products. But alas...my sensitive skin was quite unhappy with this, and boy, did it let me know. I have rosacea, and after washing my face with this, it turned bright red and stayed that way for the day. I plan to give Dove unscented a try next.
I couldn't find this in any store, so had to order online. It only came in a 3-pack, so not sure what to do with the rest.
I do give it points for the light, inoffensive scent!

I use this regularly. I have a fragrance allergy and this doesn't bother my skin. I get it 3 bars for $1 at the dollar store. It was a good find. Sometimes the wrap sticks to the bar and takes some time to get the little shreds of paper off.

This is great soap that will not dry out your skin the way many do. I have eczema on my arms and legs and this is one of the only soaps I can use that does not irritate my skin. I usually only use soap every other shower, but this is one of the best affordable options.

This is a really nice bar soap for sensitive skinned people. I use it, and I use it on my two pale skinned irish babies. It has a slight soapy scent that I like, and doesnt make my skin itch and burn like ivory does. Jergen's bars remind me of dial's old "pure n' natural" bars my family used to use. I like this and dove unscented but have been upset over the shrinking bar sizes and raised prices that dove has been doing lately.
Anways, this is a really nice bar that is worth the price. :) I use it on my face, on my body, on my legs to shave, on my 4 year old son, and my 6 month old daughter. :) its all family soap!

Bought this in a 3 pack at Dollar Tree after realizing that using Dove bar soap for my entire life might have actually been drying out my skin and clogging it up at the same time--this stuff is way better than Dove!! My sensitive allergy-prone skin is definitely soo much softer and I have less issues with ingrown hairs and razor bumps! The smell is nice and simple and what initially caught my eye towards this product is the short basic ingredients list, which I find work better for me in general when it comes to products, so I'm looking into trying this on my face even just to see that effect...A great buy and will definitely continue purchasing!!

Love the smell, lathers up great. I can even shave my legs with it. It's not as easy to find but when I do it's always dirt cheap. I use it during the winter months when my skin is drier and more sensitive.

Amazing and very cheap! I tried so many body soaps and im so picky what I like. These leave my body squeaky clean but soft. I also can use this on my chest and back without worrying about it breaking me out. Huge thumbs up for that. The smell is great. The epitome of a clean scent. I was able to get a pack of eight bars for three dollars.

I don't use this on my hands or body. I use it as a laundry soap, because it hits the spot for that "clean sheets" smell so perfectly. It's the only soap I use to wash sheets and bedding, and I store the extra bars of soap in the drawer with the clean linens to give them more smell.

Humor mixes with harrowing tales in author's visit, part of the school's free summer series of readings, film and music
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Torres, recipient of the Rolon United States Artist Fellowship in Literature and a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, was part of Lesley University's Master of Fine Arts program's free summer series of readings, film, music and guest speakers.
Punctuating his intense and riveting subject matter with humor, Torres kept the audience rapt throughout his 45 minutes on stage, shining the light on male prostitution, the upheaval of a challenging childhood and the realities of his own life as a gay man. "Boys like me were jumped, re-jumped and humiliated," Torres said, reading from his short story "Starve a Rat." However, one cannot assume autobiographical connotations, as his protagonist also concedes being "capable of telling very big lies."
Torres began the evening reading a blistering portion of his debut novel "We the Animals," recounting details of his mother's face, swollen and purple after a severe beating, as well as her attempt to exact his promise that he'll "stay six forever," since boys who turn seven turn their backs on their mothers and require toughness, rather than affection. The audience remained silent as Torres talked of unsuccessful attempts to "blind himself with the sun" to bleach the horror of what he'd seen from his memory. But then Torres broke the ice by telling the audience "You guys can totally clap" when he was finished with that heart-wrenching passage.
In his brief opening remarks, Steven Cramer, director of the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, acknowledged and applauded the "visceral nature" of Torres's oeuvre, but highlighted the structure of his work, as well. Cramer, a distinguished poet, detected iambic pentameter in the midst of Torres's prose and hailed the author's adroit use of pronouns. The attention to detail thrilled the visitor: "I totally geeked out on the pronouns," Torres said. "It's nice to hear someone noticed."
Torres also praised Lesley University's small but estimable graduate creative writing program, calling the 100 or so students "jubilant," adding, "It seem like you guys are onto something."
Cramer said the program, which began in 2003 with 22 students, has been growing over the last decade and now boasts more than 100 current students, 300 alumni and 20 faculty. The program was recently named one of the Top Ten Low-Residency Programs by Poets & Writers magazine.
The summer reading series continues with a stellar line-up of student and faculty events through June 28. For the full schedule of events, read more here.
