Penn State freshmen Taylor Shears, left, from State College, Pa., and Taylor Tregear, of Phoenixville, Pa., attend a candlelight vigil on the first anniversary of the death of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno on Tuesday in State College, Pa. / Gene J. Puskar, Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Despite a subzero windchill, about 400 Joe Paterno supporters gathered in front of a mural in downtown here to honor the man who commanded Penn State's football sidelines for 46 years. Students, alumni and fans bundled in jackets, scarves and hats huddle together, taking solace that the night had allowed them to celebrate Paterno's life surrounded by fellow supporters.
On the one-year anniversary of the longtime Penn State head football coach's death, 409 luminaries lined Heister Street in front of Michael Pilato's Inspiration Mural. The number represents each of Paterno's wins before 111 of his victories were vacated as part of the sanctions handed down by the NCAA in response to a report that alleged top school administrators could have prevented Jerry Sandusky from sexually abusing young boys.
Paterno died in January 2012 of complications related to his lung cancer at age 85.
Pilato spoke briefly about how appreciative he was of the crowd, saying, "We are all here as one big family to honor a great man." Pilato said Paterno was looking down on Heister Street and would see the "409" depicted on the Inspiration Mural.
Melinda Wright, one of the organizers of the vigil and a friend of Pilato's, said the idea for the event was formed in November because she hadn't heard of anything organized to honor Paterno's death. Wright, of Chester Springs, Pa., said the intent of the vigil was to encourage those who were in mourning to come to the mural rather than Paterno's burial site, out of respect to his family.
Although she did not graduate from the university, Wright said that living in Pennsylvania her whole life forced her to be a fan of the Penn State football team, as well as Paterno. She joked that on the day she was born, she was told two things: you need to vote and you need to support Penn State.
For Ryan Patten, a sophomore majoring in recreation, parks and tourism management, coming to Tuesday's vigil was a way for him to heal existing wounds.
The lifelong State College resident said Paterno has been a big part of his life since he was born. In some ways, he said, Paterno created a connection within the Patten family. Patten's brother, sister, father and mother attended the university during Paterno's tenure. Patten said that for his whole life, Paterno posters hung on the walls of his bedroom and football season was the best time of the year.
So when the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse case devastated the university, it hit close to home. Suddenly everything he believed to be true now needed to be questioned, Patten said. Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of child sexual abuse last June and will serve at least 30 years in prison.
"The scandal ripped a chunk of my childhood," Patten said. "I think remembering [Paterno] will help me get it back."

There's an indian king Ram of Ayodhya. Ram had a beautiful wife named Sita. He created a circle of protection for Sita, so that when she was in the circle, no one could harm her. One day, the demon Ravana disguised himself as a beggar, so he could steal Sita. Upon seeing the beggar, Sita stepped out of her circle, and Ravana stole her and escaped with a chariot into the sky. Ram was distraught and finally found that Ravana had taken her. The monkey god, Hanuman, was key in helping Ram by going into Ravana's lair finding Sita, thereby leading Ram to the demon. He went into the forest and with his army went to war with Ravana's army. Ram kicked some serious ass and killed Ravana and his army. Ram was reunited with Sita and at last after 14 years in the forest. There was a huge celebration in Ayodhya with lights when they came home.

FRC trustees to consider classified staffing cuts
Mona HillStaff Writer
At its meeting Tuesday, May 10, the Feather River Community College District Board of Trustees will consider a resolution eliminating a total of 6.75 full time equivalent (FTE) classified staff positions.
According to the resolution, the reasons for the cuts are either workload-related, due to budget constraints, or a combination of the two.
The positions to be eliminated are:
- 0.50 FTE safety officer;
- 0.25 FTE senior library assistant;
- 1.20 FTE senior office assistant II;
- 0.40 FTE custodian/utility worker;
- 0.125 FTE recruitment assistant;
- 1.0 FTE faculty secretary;
- 0.25 FTE payroll officer;
- 0.85 FTE graphic artist/print services specialist;
- 0.4 FTE admissions and registration technician;
- 0.25 FTE instructional assistant, Hatchery/ Environmental Studies;
- 0.5 FTE assistant manager, fitness center; and
- 1.0 FTE director, Marketing and Outreach.
The reductions will become effective June 30, or 45 days following service of notice, whichever date is later. Given the uncertainty of Gov. Brown's budget, it is unknown whether the board can rescind some or all of those reductions later.

---- {toc: } "Larry Wall"<http://www.wall.org/~larry/>_: You should not take this picture to mean that linguistics is the opposite of common sense. But ehm, there are many computer scientists, who have complained that it should be more like engineering and less like an art. And I disagree. But thats oukay._ ^^ Main Goal Enjoy Life and *enjoy the freedom of expressing yourself*. Which means: support you as much as possible and not to force you in any way. Perl 6 likes to be even better than Perl 5, your humble servant for translating your thoughts into binary code (if possible). ^^ Strategy Every style and level of expertise has to be supported and even more difficult: all of them have to play together well. The default often imitates a natural language (i.e. english). Strategies and concepts for this are coined in several often repeated terms. ^^ Terms ^^^ TIMTOWTDI The everlasting slogan: "There is more then one way to do it.", meaning your way is valid too. Only be aware of logical consequences. ^^^ Topicalizer This has to do with natural attention flow. If a topic or first word of a sentence sets an understandable context for the following, the meaning is building up word for word and is much easier to grasp, than if the last word of a block resolves its whole meaning (like regex modifier in Perl 5 did). Especially "for" and "given" are called topicalizer, because they set $_, the context variable. ^^^ Context sensitive Same term or symbol might do different things in different contexts, although we done our very best that it always represents the same general idea. Maybe the best example is the "* aka Whatever"[witch_star]. ^^^ No special rules Most of the special rules that plagued Perl 5 are gone or generalized. ^^^ Keep easy things easy and hard things possible Beside TIMTOWTDI, the other ancient slogan is "Keep easy things easy and hard things possible." Even if nearly every cool idea is crammed into Perl 6, we don't lose track of the basics and make them as accessible and free of artificial prerequisites as possible, e.g. printing a variable as a line without quoting and "\n" (say), or reading a file without a file handle (with slurp and lines). Rule of thumb: if you can think of an concept as trivial, then it should be. And if you on the other hand can think of a computable solution, it should be at last doable in Perl (no artificial walls). ^^^ Huffman coding That's a refinement of the last rule. It means that all the common, often used things have short straightforward names. The more verbose indicate less used, harder to grasp concepts or things that overwrite the default rules ("weird things should look weird"). It also implies that the defaults are leaning toward what a beginner/non-perl 5-programmer might expect ("hide the fancy stuff"). ^^^ Water bed theory of linguistic complexity The underlying philosophy of the two terms before. All Perl words should reflect logical units which you can combine freely. Making it more complicated than necessary is obviously not aspiring. But oversimplification will create artificial complexity somewhere else. Like a water bed where you can push your hand in somewhere but the water will go up in another spot. ^^^ All your paradigms are belong to us We learn/take/adapt from every source possible to offer the best of all breeds. And you should be able to keep your style when switching to Perl. Some of the paradigmes are structured, object oriented, aspect oriented, functional, design by contract, declarative and logical. ^^^ Buzzword compliant This term is an extension to the last one. Not only every programming paradigm but also every technique or neat trick loudly marketed out there as "must have" "in the {{[%DATE%]}}", should be available in Perl 6 (or at least be possible) as long there is productive value in it. "named parameters", "lvalue subroutines", "parametizable subclasses" or "hygienic macros" are just a few. ^^^ Second system syndrome An addon to the previous that should tell you: We are very aware that many ambitious software projects that were built from scratch failed. Especially those who aimed to be the "even better in all terms" successors of already successful creations. In fact, this happened so often that the term second system syndrome was coined. We chose this path for Perl 6 nevertheless, because we believe its the only way to get a significantly better language. (Gradual improvements are flowing into Perl 5 all the time and are sometimes inspired from Perl 6.) That's why the unofficial motto of Perl 6 is "Second system syndrome done right". ^^ Trends ^^^ Less Unix Centric Perl 1 was a child of the Unix world, borrowing a lot of folklore and words. As Perl 6 had to regularize the Regex and reform some other part, this heritage has become less visible. ^^^ Simple English In Perl 5 we had my, our, use, require, bless, can, ISA (is a), chop and also of course if, else, goto and all the loops. Perl 6 adds given, when, take, WHERE, HOW, WHO and lot more everyday english which should make it easy to read. ^^^ Functional Programming High order functions, currying, you name it. All that goodies are there, as Perl 6 aims to an full support of functional programming. ---- "Overview"[Perl 6 Tablets] - _Chapter:_ "0:Intr"[Perl 6 Intro Tablet], "1:Hist"[Perl 6 History Tablet], *"2:Design"[Perl 6 Language Design Tablet]*, "3:Var"[Perl 6 Variable Tablet], "4:Op"[Perl 6 Operator Tablet], "5:IO"[Perl 6 IO Tablet], "6:{}"[Perl 6 Block Tablet], "7:Sub"[Perl 6 Subroutine Tablet], "8:OOP"[Perl 6 OOP Tablet], "9:Rx"[Perl 6 Regex Tablet] - _Appendices:_ "A:Index"[Perl 6 Index Tablet], "B:Tables"[Perl 6 Lookup Tablet], "C:Best of"[Best Of Perl 6 Tablet], "D:Delta"[Perl 6 Delta Tablet], "E:Links"[Perl 6 Links Tablet] |

I agree, THAT is how you do a jazz program. She got that score without a 3-3 either, meaning her spins must have been great. I really like her LP too, she is so expressive, hope she rocks it tomorrow! She has been improving so much this year, she was kinda shaky at the beginning of the season, but I think that was mostly because she had a growthspurt, last year she was a little peanut. I wonder if Polina Shelepen will be able to top that score. If Anna medals here I bet she'll compete on the senior grand prix circuit next season, even though she only turns 14 next week!

Anna must have improved a lot since this.
It's a fun program,
but not much speed, rough on edges and not good jumpings.
Well, we will see how she does in FS.
That video was from August, and yes she has definitely improved a lot. She is the Russian Junior silver medalist and beat Polina Shelepen, Elizaveta Tuktumysheva, and a bunch of other little jumping beans who do 3-3 without doing a 3-3 in either program at that competition. She finished 5th in the senior division. This whole season she has been getting better, last season she could only do like 2 triples and now she does all of them (except sal), and she has grown a lot and that has improved her speed, compared to the other girls she seems fast!
This was her LP from Russian junior nationals in February, I'd say it's a vast improvement from
this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LllpMdeALrU her LP from the JGP in August where the SP video you posted was from.

Ouch for Shelepen...at this point either Baga or Shelepen will be in the penultimate group.
52.28 for Kiri, step out of 3f and hand down on 2a, everything else good. Anna still in first ! Shelepen, Zawadski, and Gao will all skate in the penultimate group, this should be interesting. Good luck tomorrow ladies!
Thanks much for the comments, video links, and the Twitter page.
Does Kate Charbonneu remind anyone else of a young Alissa Czisny? I was just watching her on youtube and that's the first thing that came to mind.
Shelepen, Zawadski and Gao out of the final flight and more likely out of contention too. They have the potential and content to move up to bronze but I believe Gold is a two-horse race now between Murakami and Ovcharova.
Yeah, MosDef Anna has improved
at least she lands jumps now and she looks more mature than others.
However, I still think skaters like Kanako and Kiri have much better flow.
Anyway, I thought this would be Kanako vs. Polina S vs. Christina,
but now it's pretty much like Kanako vs. Anna.
Kanako has been very consistant and she has high PCS,
yet Anna still has a good chance if she skates like she did in her Nationals.
Good luck to both of them!
Kiri does have very good flow, I've noticed that both Kiri and Kate Charbonneau (who have the same coach) are very good spinners and have good 3toe and 3sal but struggle with the other triples and the double axel. If they can up their technical content they will likely do very well in senior events in the future.
I'd say it's Kanako vs Anna vs Polina Agafonova. Kanako and Anna both attempt 6 triples in the FS but neither attempts a 3-3, I know Polina A attempts at least one and maybe two 3-3s in the LP so I think she could potentially win or definitely medal, a lot will depend on if she gets credit for her 3-3s. I'm impressed with Anna's PCS and agree that she looks more mature on the ice than a lot of other girls even though she is one of the youngest competitors at the competition, she has great poise and carriage for 13 years old! Can't wait to see the top 3 performances tomorrow, Anna and Polina must have really rocked it, those are great scores for them!
Wow, two highly touted US ladies beaten by Joshi Helgesson and Kate Charbonneau. Wakeup call?

When you leave our Website and travel elsewhere on the Internet, we may use the cookie to recognize you as someone who has visited our Website, to assume that you are interested in our products, and to deliver an advertisement to you that promotes our products. Although we may work with a vendor to deliver and read our first-party cookies and to serve advertisements on our behalf, our vendors may not use these first-party cookies to recognize you as someone who may be interested in the goods/services of the vendors' other clients.You can opt out of first-party advertising by clicking here . When you do, we will deliver an "opt-out" cookie to your browser. When you visit our Website in the future, the opt-out cookie will tell us that you have opted out of Crocs' cookies for first-party targeted advertisements.

Steps We Take to Safeguard your Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of information you submit on or through our Website in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations. For example, when collecting credit card information for online purchases, we offer secured-service transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart others from intercepting or misusing it.Unfortunately, no website, server, or database is completely secure or "hacker proof." We therefore cannot guarantee that your PII will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. Further, we cannot control dissemination of PII contained in User-Generated Content you post on or through our Website, and you should have no expectation of privacy in such information.
How Does Crocs Share the Information it Receives?
Crocs may share the AAI and/or PII submitted on or through this Website in the following ways:Third–Party Service Providers. Crocs shares information collected through this Website with third-party service providers who act for or on its behalf. For example, we may use third-party vendors to design, operate, and/or host our Website; to conduct surveys; and to help us with our promotional efforts. These third parties may need information about you to perform their functions. Typically, third-party service providers who receive PII are bound by contract to use it only on our behalf. However, some of our service providers, such as our advertising partners, are permitted to collect AAI through our Website and use that AAI in connection with providing services to nonaffiliated third parties. For more information about behavioral advertising, see the "Cookies Delivered by Third Parties" section above.
Other Users of This Website. The User-Generated Content you submit on or through our Website is available to others who visit our Website.

Business Negotiations. We may contemplate, for strategic or other reasons, selling, buying, merging, or otherwise reorganizing one or more of our businesses. In negotiating with a third party about entering into such an arrangement, we may need to disclose your information.

Too Narrow
I love the regular Crocs so when I ordered the slip on, I thought they would be made similarly but these are made very narrow and squeeze my foot.

Comments about Crocs Men's Beach Line Boat Slip-on:
I was excited to get these because I love my other Crocs. After receiving them, I'm very disappointed. They're very narrow and hurt my feet. I would not recommend.

Comments about Crocs Men's Beach Line Boat Slip-on:
I use this shoes everytime I go sailing, they are just perfect for the job. Of course you need warm weather, because of the holes. I tried a couple of other shoes for the sailboat, and this is the best I've tried so far.
Comments about Crocs Men's Beach Line Boat Slip-on:
These are ten times more comfortable than the lebron 12s. Only scrubs like lebrons, only true G's like these dope loafers.
Comments about Crocs Men's Beach Line Boat Slip-on:
This pair of Crocs are my first and I really find them comfortable. I have a narrow man's foot and these seem to fit very good. Looking forward to the FL test for them.
Best Uses
Comments about Crocs Men's Beach Line Boat Slip-on:
I work on a golf corse for a living. I am constantly getting sand, dirt, and water on my shoes. These shoes are not water proof, more like water resistant. However if you have access to a backpack blower the water blows right out of the shoes and will be dry in minutes. I am 6'7" and 250lbs I can wear out a pair of crocks in less than a year. I have owned upwards of 10 pair in the last 5 years and these are by far the best and most practical shoes for me. Just wished they had a hard sole. I tend to wear holes in the light weight crocks. Best crocs I have ever owned. Considered buying multiple pairs.

Comments about Crocs Men's Beach Line Boat Slip-on:
Purchased these for my husband and he is totally happy with them. He is very hard to shop for when it comes to shoes since he has issues with his toes, not to mentioned a week earlier he ripped the nail off one of his toes! I figured it would be a while for him to try them on, let alone wear them. He slipped them right on and said they y they were the most comfortable pair of shoes he has ever owned! Very happy with the look and feel. Thank you to service rep Laura (Ext. 5390) for all her patience and help. I had website issues and return questions with the first pair of crocs I ordered, (they were too small) and she was beyond helpful! She is the one who found these shoes for me. Thanks Laura!

I sent in a review last week and it was not posted. The comment was geared more to customer service rather than this type of shoe; however, unfortunately sites like this are not willing to publish all types of feedback. I will seek out another venue to have my comment read.

How To Buy Walking Shoes
Walking shoes are performance footwear products designed to meet very specific functional requirements of the sport. The mechanics of walking are distinct from other activities, such as running or aerobics, so it is important to wear a walking shoe to get the most comfort and efficiency out of the activity.
How to Buy Walking Shoes
If your primary exercise activity is walking, it is important to buy shoes designed specifically for walking. Modern walking shoes have been engineered for the unique stride and stress demands of exercise walking.
Heel Construction
Cushioning and Heel Height
A walker's foot flexes more than a runner's during toe-off, therefore the make-up and construction of a walking shoe must allow for this flexibility.

If the joint that connects your big toe to your foot has a swollen, sore bump, you may have a bunion.
More than half the women in America have bunions, a common deformity often blamed on wearing tight, narrow shoes, and high heels. Bunions may occur in families, but many are from wearing tight shoes. Nine out of ten bunions happen to women. Nine out of ten women wear shoes that are too small.
Too-tight shoes can also cause other disabling foot problems like corns, calluses and hammertoes.
Most bunions are treatable without surgery. Prevention is always best. To minimize your chances of developing a bunion, never force your foot into a shoe that doesn't fit. Choose shoes that conform to the shape of your feet. Go for shoes with wide insteps, broad toes and soft soles. Avoid shoes that are short, tight or sharply pointed, and those with heels higher than 2 1/4 inches. If you already have a bunion, wear shoes that are roomy enough to not put pressure on it. This should relieve most of your pain. You may want to have your shoes stretched out professionally. You may also try protective pads to cushion the painful area.
If your bunion has progressed to the point where you have difficulty walking, or experience pain despite accomodative shoes, you may need surgery. Bunion surgery realigns bone, ligaments, tendons and nerves so your big toe can be brought back to its correct position. Orthopaedic surgeons have several techniques to ease your pain. Many bunion surgeries are done on a same-day basis (no hospital stay) using an ankle-block anesthesia. A long recovery is common and may include persistent swelling and stiffness.
Your young teenager (especially girls aged 10-15) may develop an adolescent bunion at the base of his or her big toe. Unlike adults with bunions, a young person can normally move the affected joint. Your teenager may have pain and trouble wearing shoes. Try having your child's shoes stretched and/or getting wider shoes. Surgery to remove an adolescent bunion is not recommended unless your child is in extreme pain and the problem does not get better with changes in shoe wear. If your adolescent has bunion surgery, particularly before they are fully grown, there is a strong chance his or her problem will return.
If you have a painful swollen lump on the outside of your foot near the base of your little toe, it may be a bunionette (tailor's bunion). You may also have a hard corn and painful bursitis in the same spot. A bunionette is very much like a bunion. Wearing shoes that are too tight may cause it. Get shoes that fit comfortably with a soft upper and a roomy toe box. In cases of persistent pain or severe deformity, surgical correction is possible.

Comments On Nov 18, 2014:Works really well and is wearing evenly. Quality product !

Comments On Feb 24, 2014:almost bought the tusk option because it is so much cheaper but have always loved galfer products so I thought I would stick with them. So glad I did as this rotor became a significant upgrade to the solid OEM rotor. RMATV needs to find a new picture to indicate that these are full floaters and therefore an upgrade for some bikes warranting the significant cost increase over the tusk option. Excellent braking power combined with galfer carbon pads. Would highly recommend if you are replacing either rotor on an RM 125. Only front is full floater. Rear is solid mount and therefore less expensive but equal quality and performance.

Comments On Apr 28, 2012:Not only do they look really good, they work even better. During hard xc racing, have yet to have one warp. They clean out during the ride much better, stay cooler therefore making jamming on the brakes not issue. Highly recommend.

Comments On May 13, 2009:These work great to add better feel and also more braking power.I installed this rotor on a 2000 XR 250R.Stoppies? YES PLEASE! Don't hesitate,unless tusk makes them for your model bike.I plan on adding the wave rotors to my KTMS now! I recommend you install new pads with any rotor replacement.

Bone marrow is a spongy substance found inside our large bones, such as the femur (thigh), hip, and ribs. It is made up of cells called hematopoietic stem cells. It is these cells that are given (transplanted) to the patient during a stem cell transplant. (NOTE: These stem cells are different than those we hear about in the news for research use- those are called embryonic stem cells.) Hematopoietic stem cells are "baby" cells that grow up to become either white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. The bone marrow acts as a greenhouse for these cells, growing them and storing them until they are needed. What do we need them for?
Autologous means structures or cells derived from you and your body. For example, if our patient Jack is to have a stem cell transplant, we will get those stem cells from Jack himself. Many people think a transplant has to be something taken from a donor, but that would be called an allogeneic transplant (which is discussed in a separate article). In an autologous transplant, Jack the patient "donates" his cells to himself.
Autologous transplants are used to treat a number of different cancers, including leukemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, testicular cancer and neuroblastoma.
When doctors first started doing these procedures, the only way to get stem cells was directly from the bone marrow. This is where the term bone marrow transplant first originated. The patient would be taken to the operating room and put to sleep lying on his/her stomach. The doctors would put long needles into the hip bones and pull out the bone marrow in syringes in a procedure called bone marrow aspiration. The solution was then poured through a special column that pulled out only the stem cells, allowing any other cells (mature red and white blood cells and platelets) to be reinfused into the patient. In order to get the number of cells needed, the needles would need to be inserted many times. These cells were then frozen in a special preservative (called Dimethyl sulfoxide or DMSO) to protect them from "freezer burn" until they were used.
Doctors soon found that giving the patient a medication called granulocyte colony stimulating factor, or GCSF, would stimulate the stem cells to be released from the bone marrow and into the blood stream. Using a blood test, doctors could tell how many cells were circulating in the blood stream. Once the number was high enough, the patient would go to the pheresis department at the hospital to have the cells removed: this procedure is known as "apheresis."
The cells could be removed using either a catheter in the chest wall or 2 large intravenous (IV) catheters, one placed in each arm. Blood would be taken out of the patient, be circulated through the pheresis machine to remove the stem cells, and then the rest of the blood would be returned to the patient. The cells would be frozen in the same DMSO preservative as the bone marrow; cryopreservation is necessary because the cells must be harvested months in advance of the transplant treatment. During the collection, the patient may experience tingling or numbness around their lips. This is caused by a loss of calcium and can usually be resolved by eating some calcium tablets.
In order to understand the stem cell transplant, you must first have an understanding of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a group of medications that work by killing rapidly-dividing cells in the body. Cancer cells tend to divide rapidly, but so do many healthy cells (i.e. cells in the gastrointestinal tract, hair follicles, and blood cells). If you bite the inside of your lip, there is a good chance the spot will be healed by the next day. This is because those cells divide rapidly. A patient can only receive so much chemotherapy before the medication causes too much damage to the healthy cells for the person to safely tolerate. For instance, if a patient experiences a lot of diarrhea with a medication, the doctor may decide to decrease the dose by some amount. Doctors call this "dose-limiting toxicity." One important dose-limiting toxicity is low blood counts (low white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets). Researchers thought that for certain types of cancer, if they could give higher doses of chemotherapy, they would be better able to treat the cancer. The problem was, how could we overcome the dose-limiting toxicity of low blood counts?
Doctors soon realized that they could give high doses of chemotherapy that would wipe out a patient's bone marrow, but then later "rescue" the bone marrow using the patient's own stem cells (which were collected earlier, before the chemotherapy). The patient would receive several days of intense chemotherapy aimed at killing any cancer cells in his/her body. The patient then rests for 1 or 2 days to allow the body time to process and clear out the chemotherapy, so the new cells are not damaged.
On the day of the "transplant", the patient is given some medications to prevent him/her from having any reactions to the DMSO preservative. The patient receives intravenous fluids to help the kidneys flush out any dead cells in the infusion. Blood pressure and heart rate are closely monitored. Once the patient has received the premedications, the frozen stem cells are thawed and given to the patient like a blood transfusion. Some centers thaw the cells in the lab where they are stored, while some thaw them in the patient's room just prior to infusing them into the bloodstream.
The cells are quite smart, and they find their way back to the bone marrow space and get to work. Remember, when the stem cells arrive in the bone marrow, things are in bad shape - almost all of the old marrow cells have been killed ("ablated") by the chemo. The stem cells get right to work and produce new white and red blood cells and platelets. It can take anywhere from 7 to 14 days for the stem cells to produce new cells, and for those new cells to mature enough to function.
This waiting period, also called the "nadir," is the most difficult time for the patient. The blood cell counts are very low, putting the patient at risk for infections, bleeding, and severe fatigue. The patient does not have any white blood cells to fight infections, so fevers and the need for antibiotics are to be expected. All visitors and healthcare personnel must wash their hands before entering the room. Anyone who is sick or lives with someone who is sick would be best to stay home and call on the phone. Low platelet counts can lead to bleeding, and platelet transfusions are common during this time. A low red blood cell count (called anemia) may be most distressing for the patient. The patient may look pale, feel tired, and require red blood cell transfusions. Many patients say the worst side effect is the extreme fatigue - they feel more tired and wiped out than you can even imagine. Just getting out of bed is a chore. When able, short walks in the halls can actually increase their energy, but this is often easier said than done.
On top of the low blood counts, the patient must deal with the side effects of the chemotherapy drugs used. These include, diarrhea, nausea and/or vomiting, hair loss, fever, chills, decreased appetite, and mouth sores (called mucositis). Every patient is different and it is difficult to predict which patients will have more side effects. The chemotherapy drugs used before the transplant can vary, and some medications are more likely to cause certain side effects than others.
Be supportive, let the patient get a lot of rest, and understand that he or she just may not feel like eating much during this time. Make one family member the contact person for friends and family. Let the patient tell this contact person how he or she is feeling each day and whether or not he or she wants visitors or phone calls. It is important to respect the patient's wishes. Send a supportive note or a card. If the patient has children, knowing that friends or family are taking care of things like carpooling and school homework might be very comforting. Depending on the protocol for the transplant, the patient may be in the hospital, at an apartment near the cancer center, or at home.
Engraftment is a term the doctors use to describe the point when the stem cells start doing their job and blood cell counts start to come up. The first number we look for is the neutrophil count, which is the type of white blood cell that is most important in fighting infection. Generally, once the neutrophil count gets above 500, the patient can come off antibiotics and, in many cases, can go home. The time until engraftment varies from patient to patient, but is typically between 7-12 days. The red blood cell and platelet counts can take several weeks to get back to a normal range, but the patient can usually go home once they are not regularly requiring blood or platelet transfusions.
This can vary greatly from person to person, depending on what has happened over the past few weeks. It can take people weeks, months, or even a year to feel like their "old self" again. Some patients report having no appetite, or food tasting like metal, for months after the transplant. This can be a difficult time, as family and friends may assume that the person is "better" since they are home and the transplant is over. They may expect the person to be back at work, to return to school, or to run a household. The patient should resume normal activities slowly and add on jobs or duties every couple of days.
