Sermo Study Shows 63% of Physicians Would Utilize New Gout Treatments
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Sermo (http://www.sermo.com), the world's largest online community for physicians, today announced a free Sermo Report titled, "Treatment Options for Gout". The report gathered feedback from physicians to better understand how they currently treat gout and if they would consider using new treatments.
While many physicians who participated felt that current gout treatments effectively manage acute and suppressed gout flares, 63% confirmed they would utilize new gout medications as they become available. Physicians also listed many different patient types that would benefit from new gout treatments, including recurrent gouty arthritis, tophaceous gout and those resistant to current treatments.
This free Sermo Report polled 114 physicians across multiple specialties, of which 89% see an average of 19 gout patients per month. Many of the respondents also participated in an online discussion regarding various treatment strategies and how they plan to use newly available therapies.
The full reports includes:
- Key Findings
- Physician Demographics
- Discussion Highlights
- Quantitative and Qualitative Post Analysis
Companies that are in the process of developing or have approved gout treatments include Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Savient Pharmaceuticals, Cardiome Pharma Corp., Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Ardea Biosciences and Novartis.
To download full results of this free report, visit sermo.com/client.
About Sermo Reports
Sermo Reports solicit perceptions and opinions from physicians about new drugs, devices, treatments, trends, and other topics of interest. Data for Sermo Reports is
gathered through Sermo Posts, which allow physicians to participate in a poll and comment on the topic. All physicians on Sermo are verified and credentialed.
About Sermo
Sermo is the largest online physician community, where over 117,000 practicing physicians discuss a wide range of issues from clinical cases to advice about drugs and practice management. By leveraging Sermo's social media platform, clients can tap into unsolicited, peer-to-peer dialog and engage MDs to gain market intelligence and increase brand awareness.

Dr. Giorgio Riello, University of Warwick – History of Economic Imitation
In today's Academic Minute, Dr. Giorgio Riello of the University of Warwick reveals how European manufacturers were once seen as producers of cheap imitations of Asian goods.
Giorgio Riello is Professor of Global History and Culture at the University of Warwick and co-director of the university's Global History and Culture Center. His teaching and research interests are focused on the history of globalization and global commodities. He earned his Ph.D. at University College London and in 2013 he published his latest book, Cotton: The Fabric that Made the World.
Dr. Giorgio Riello – History of Economic Imitation
We often hear that China's economic miracle in the first decade of the twenty-first century is sustained by cheap labour and the ability to imitate everything that Europe and the US once produced. It seems that nearly everything in our houses and our wardrobes has been produced in China and other parts of Asia. We think that imitation and copying are essentially bad and that China is winning simply because it produces endless knock-offs at a fraction of the price of the "original" goods produced in the West.
But if we step back in time a couple of centuries , one finds that the situation was the opposite: the industrialisation of Europe and later the US was based on the manufacturing of cotton textiles – printed and painted fabrics that were nothing less than imitations of what was produced in India. The same could be said of porcelain: commonly referred to as 'China', it was produced in Europe as an imitation of the original Chinese product from which it took its name.
Before the Industrial revolution at the end of the eighteenth century, Asia was the economic powerhouse of the world and Europeans had no qualms in imitating the superior products of China and India. They did it so well that they invented new versions – often more suitable to the taste of Western consumers – and in doing so stimulated innovation and creativity. China today is doing the same: we might blame its manufacturers for infringing copyright laws but history shows that imitation and the production of what today we call 'fakes' is nothing new. The question remains however whether the rising economies of Asia will seize the opportunity and switch from producers of cheap copies to be promoters of innovation and creativity as the West did three centuries ago.
Production support for the Academic Minute comes from Newman's Own, giving all profits to charity and pursuing the common good for over 30 years, and from Mount Holyoke College.

Abstract | The investigation of the chemical composition of PM10 and PM 2.5 has been carried out since February 2003 in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. 24-hour aerosol samples are collected from a typical urban and suburban monitoring site operated by the state EPA in each city. ANSTO performs gravimetric analysis, accelerator-based ion beam analysis and integrating plate laser absorption analysis to determine the elemental composition of the aerosols. Preliminary results including quality assurance, aerosol concentrations and chemical composition including the levels of heavy metals in the samples collected up to April 2003 are discussed in this paper. The study is coordinated by Griffith University, EPA Victoria and University of the Sunshine Coast, and funded by the Commonwealth Government's Natural Heritage Trust. |

Chabad recognizes the Rebbe died
The local Chabad house wanted the street name of "Max Nordau Street" to be changed to "Lubavitcher Rebbe Street".
The local residents were against the name change and fought it bitterly.
The local Chabad house won, as the mayor supported their petition.
The name change does not bother me, but I wonder if it could have been done in a better way without religious jews having to embitter the local secular/traditional residents. I mean, how important is a street name anyway that it is something that has to be fought over?
It seems strange for Chabad to get into such a fight with locals. Their whole success is based on good relations with the locals wherever they are. How are they going to ask people to put n tefillin and come for a glass of vodka when the neighbors now hate them?
But, regardless, they chose to fight for it and they won.
I guess one good thing that comes out of it is that at least one Chabad house recognizes that Rabbi Schneerson has died. After all, streets are not named after living people.

Did you get that flyer about the kidma people? Do you have any background on them? Is the flyer legit or is someone out to get them, like that flyer about the terrible guy from uriah (cough cough)
ReplyDelete - whatsinanameMay 27, 2008 8:31 AM
Ramat Shlomo, aka Shuafat, is partly known for its famous replica of 770 that they built over there. It can be seen from the highway quite clearly. The name of the street that it is on is Admor M'Lubavitch. I am inclined to believe that some of the people who built the shul and the neighborhood, think very strongly that he did not die. Thus disproving your theory.
ReplyDelete LOZ - kidma is for another post
whats - I am not sure. That one was there for a long time. While I do not know when they named the street, just because now people there think he is alive does not mean when they changed the name or named it or whatever that was the case. I am not familiar with the history of that location, though I have seen the building.- it's a shandehMay 28, 2008 1:24 PM
Are there any Shabtai Tzvi streets in Israel?
Just curious.

Missouri used the highest-scoring game in its volleyball history to finish a sweep against Texas and continue its win streak.
The Tigers defeated the Longhorns 30-19, 30-26, 42-40 at Hearnes Center on Saturday. The victory was Missouri's (13-4, 6-2) seventh straight.
Lindsey Noll moved outside for the first time this season, replacing Mary Lauren Smith who was out with an abdominal strain.
Smith aggravated an upper abdominal strain before Wednesday's game at Kansas State. The strain affects her ability to swing on hitting attempts and her return is not certain, coach Susan Kreklow said.
Shen Danru said that Smith helped the team without playing.
"She gave us more information on the other team, and she always encourages us," Danru said.
Although Smith is an integral part of the team, the Tigers' strength is depth and if a key player gets injured, somebody is ready to replace them, Noll said.
Kreklow said she was impressed with Noll's move from the middle. Noll was second on the team with 13 kills.
"You take a middle blocker and put her on the outside and tell her to swing at high balls," Kreklow said. "That's a really challenging thing for an attacker to do."
Noll said her teammates had confidence in her and that helped her with the move.
"I was a little nervous in that I haven't played the left side in a while," Noll said. "I played outside last year, so I felt like I had experience and the coaches did a good job in preparing me."
Missouri came out flat in the third game letting the Longhorns (9-7, 4-3) take control early and running to a 27-23 lead.
The Tigers responded with three straight points, causing the Longhorns to call timeout.
Texas missed on five game points before Missouri won the game on its seventh game winning chance. Wilson earned a kill to give MU the 41-40 lead and Godoi served an ace to finish the sweep.
"Any time you get down in the latter part of a game in rally scoring, it's tough to come back," Kreklow said.
"We just kept battling and stayed focus on controlling the ball which allowed us to run our offense."
Missouri contributed to the early deficit by committing six serving errors in the game.
Danru missed a serve on one match point that would have tied it at 37. Lisa Boyd contributed two of the Tiger's serving errors in the game.
"We're going back there (to serve) trying to take them out of their offense," Kreklow said.
"Going back there and serving aggressively, you will miss one or two, and hope that your team can play around them."
After a double hit on Texas gave Missouri the ball with a 10-8 lead in the first game, Wilson served six points to give the Tigers control.
Missouri ended the game on a 21-11 streak.
"Our defense is just phenomenal," Noll said. "They pick up everything. Our blocks did a good job setting up so our defense could get around them."
Missouri's defense continued to play well in the second game as the Tigers used a 9-2 streak to take the lead 26-20. Tomic, who entered the match ranked second in the conference in kills per game, had four in the first two games. She finished the match with 12.
Lindsey Hunter led Missouri with 49 assists.

Effectiveness of distant healing for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome: a randomised controlled partially blinded trial (EUHEALS)
Walach, Harald, Bosch, Holger, Lewith, George, Naumann, Johannes, Schwarzer, Barbara, Falk, Sonja, Kohls, Niko, Haraldsson, Erlendur, Wiesendanger, Harald, Nordmann, Alain, Tomasson, Helgi, Prescott, Phil and Bucher, Heiner C. (2008) Effectiveness of distant healing for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome: a randomised controlled partially blinded trial (EUHEALS). Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 77, (3), 158-166. (doi:10.1159/000116609).
Full text not available from this repository.
Background: Distant healing, a form of spiritual healing, is widely used for many conditions but little is known about its effectiveness. Methods: In order to evaluate distant healing in patients with a stable chronic condition, we randomised 409 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) from 14 private practices for environmental medicine in Germany and Austria in a two by two factorial design to immediate versus deferred (waiting for 6 months) distant healing. Half the patients were blinded and half knew their treatment allocation. Patients were treated for 6 months and allocated to groups of 3 healers from a pool of 462 healers in 21 European countries with different healing traditions. Change in Mental Health Component Summary (MHCS) score (SF-36) was the primary outcome and Physical Health Component Summary score (PHCS) the secondary outcome. Results: This trial population had very low quality of life and symptom scores at entry. There were no differences over 6 months in post-treatment MHCS scores between the treated and untreated groups. There was a non-significant outcome (p = 0.11) for healing with PHCS (1.11; 95% CI - 0.255 to 2.473 at 6 months) and a significant effect (p = 0.027) for blinding; patients who were unblinded became worse during the trial (-1.544; 95% CI -2.913 to -0.176). We found no relevant interaction for blinding among treated patients in MHCS and PHCS. Expectation of treatment and duration of CFS added significantly to the model. Conclusions: In patients with CFS, distant healing appears to have no statistically significant effect on mental and physical health but the expectation of improvement did improve outcome.

Christmas Chowder
Recipe courtesy Sam Hayward and Fore Street
- FoodNation with Bobby Flay
- 4 live Maine ' chicken' lobsters, approximately 1 pound each
- 4 medium potatoes (recommended: russet, German butterball, or Yukon gold)
- 2 ounces high-quality smoked slab bacon, diced to 1/4 inch
- 2 medium leeks, white part only, rinsed and diced to 1/2 inch
- Several cups water, lobster stock, or fish stock
- 2 ounces unsalted butter
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream*
- Sea salt, for seasoning
- Pinch ground chipotle or cayenne pepper, for seasoning
- Fresh chives, snipped, for garnish
- Serving Suggestion: Crackers
- * Chef's Note: Don't attempt to use half-and-half--it tends to curdle.
Pour 1 inch of water into a pot large enough to contain all the lobsters. Bring the water to a full boil. Remove the bands from the lobsters' claws and place them on their backs over the boiling water. Cover the pot tightly, and steam over high heat about 3 minutes. Quickly remove the lobsters from the pot and chill them rapidly by plunging them into a basin filled with ice and water. Set a wire strainer over a mixing bowl. Twist the tails off the lobsters over the strainer to catch their juices. Shell the lobster tails and claws over the strainer. Cut the tails into 4 quarters, leave the claw and knuckle meats whole, and reserve the lobster meat in a refrigerator.
Peel the potatoes, split each into 4 wedges, and slice the wedges into 1/2-inch slices. In a large non-reacting soup pot, cook the diced bacon over moderate heat until golden and nearly crisp. Pour off all but about a generous tablespoon of the fat. Add the diced leeks, stir, and cook about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, stir, cover the pot, and continue cooking over moderate heat, stirring frequently to prevent browning, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes depending upon the potato variety and the thickness of the slices. (Chef's Note: I like to mash some of the potatoes with a fork to give the chowder a luxurious but rustic texture, but good mealy potatoes, such as russets, will release some of their substance into the broth, and this step may be unnecessary.) Add the strained lobster juices and enough water, lobster or fish stock, to just cover the vegetables. Simmer 4 or 5 minutes. Keep the chowder base hot as you prepare the lobster meat and cream enrichment.
Heat the butter in a wide skillet. Add the lobster meat, season with black pepper, and saute over moderate heat 3 or 4 minutes until the meat is firm, opaque, and pink. Pour in the heavy cream, and rapidly bring it to a simmer. Pour the lobster and cream mixture into the chowder base, and stir gently to combine. Taste for seasonings, and adjust with sea salt (preferably from Maine), plenty of fresh-milled black pepper, and a pinch of chipotle or cayenne pepper. Off heat, cover the pot and allow the chowder to ripen for 15 or 20 minutes before serving. Ladle into warmed soup plates, and sprinkle snipped chives over each serving. Accompany with plenty of warmed common crackers.

A/Bingo Installation Instructions
This is the quickstart version of these instructions. You'll find somewhat more detail in the README file included with the plugin. A/Bingo is designed to install in under five minutes.
Install the plugin:
git clone git://git.bingocardcreator.com/abingo.git --- or --- # In Rails 2 script/plugin install git://git.bingocardcreator.com/abingo.git # In Rails 3 rails plugin install git://git.bingocardcreator.com/abingo.git
- Create the required tables:
# In Rails 2 ruby script/generate abingo_migration rake db:migrate # In Rails 3 rails generate abingo_migration rake db:migrate
- Assign the user a unique, long-lived identifying string
# In application.rb (Rails 2) or application_controller.rb (Rails 3) # This is sample code, the simplest that possibly works: before_filter :set_abingo_identity def set_abingo_identity if (session[:abingo_identity]) Abingo.identity = session[:abingo_identity] else session[:abingo_identity] = Abingo.identity = rand(10 ** 10).to_i end end
- Optional: Configure the cache, which should ideally be persistent
(why). If you skip this,
A/Bingo will use the Rails default cache. By default, Rails uses a
MemoryStore cache in development and testing modes. Using this store with A/Bingo will cause
A/Bingo to die with a "can't modify frozen array" exceptions when the user hits
their second test if you are using Rails prior to version 2.3. This is due to a
a bug in Rails which
has subsequently been patched. Make sure you don't use the default MemoryStore cache!
#production.rb #This is my memcacheDB instance Abingo.cache = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore.new("cache.example.com:12345")
Optional: Install the dashboard. This will let you quickly see the
results of your tests, or end them, through a web interface.
#Create a new controller. The name is up to you -- this example #uses abingo_dashboard_controller.rb class AbingoDashboardController < ApplicationController #Declare any before_filters or similar which you need to use your authentication #for this controller. include Abingo::Controller::Dashboard end #You need to add the following to routes.rb: (Rails 2) map.connect "/abingo/", :controller=> "abingo_dashboard" map.connect "/abingo/end_experiment/:id", :controller => "abingo_dashboard", :action => "end_experiment" #For Rails 3: get 'abingo/', :to => 'abingo_dashboard#index' post 'abingo/end_experiment/:id', :to => 'abingo_dashboard#end_experiment' #Now, simply navigate to http://www.example.com/abingo and you'll see your dashboard. #The templates can be customized to your liking in plugins/abingo/views.

Rolling around in musical sludge isn't a problem for Slippers; they just call it "improvisation." Their sound is a head-butt of indefinable listening, a grasp for quixotic sonic goals. Sounds heroic, but is this Long Beach quintet striving for too much? "I want to see something honest and pure," says Slippers guitarist Michael Cody. Comments like this would indicate these guys are guilty of basking in the bullshit of jazz snobbery, but in their defense, Cody and his crew also say purity means something as experimental as making their all-instrumental music bend with the quick twists and tempo changes of the DJ nation. But Slippers don't wallow in easy DJ crowd-pleasing antics. Their domain is the enigma—hence their name, derived from the Charles Mingus composition "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jiveass Slippers." Make sense? Of course not. But surreal titles are the only way they can paint proper pictures with their songs. Their long, seven- to 10-minute grooves sound like sonic meditations of gangsters lounging on torn-up couches or maybe a chronically late jazz band rushing into a club to blow some wicked bebop notes. Surprisingly, Cody says Slippers' methods are part of his band's quest for structure. He and drummer Brandon Laws split off from Hasselhoff Curtainrod, an improv band famous for never practicing or plotting out their Sonic Youth-style white noise. The bigger surprise here is that Slippers' forays into imaginative realms have lasted six years now, longer than the solemn vows of many marriages. Stability in improvisation? That does take imagination.
Info: (562) 427-7075; email@example.com; www.peterecords.com.
Slippers perform at Que Sera, 1923 E. Seventh St., Long Beach, (562) 599-6170. May 24, 10 p.m. $3. 21+.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is often caused by a combination of different types of bacteria, so a combination (regimen) of medicines is used to treat the infection. Treatment changes as new medicines are developed or as the bacteria that cause the infection become resistant to old medicines. Treatment guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend one of the following regimens:1
Outpatient treatment options
Ceftriaxone plus doxycycline with or without metronidazole
Ceftriaxone is given one time as an injection in a muscle. Doxycycline is taken as pills twice a day usually for 14 days. Doxycycline is not used if you are pregnant. Avoid prolonged sun exposure while taking doxycycline. Metronidazole is taken as pills twice a day usually for 14 days. Do not drink alcohol when taking metronidazole. The number of days you continue to take antibiotics depends on your illness and the type of antibiotic medicine.
Cefoxitin with probenecid plus doxycycline with or without metronidazole
Cefoxitin is given one time as an injection in a muscle. Probenecid is taken as a pill in a single dose at the time of the shot. Doxycycline is taken as pills twice a day usually for 14 days. Doxycycline is not used if you are pregnant. Avoid prolonged sun exposure while taking doxycycline. Metronidazole is taken as pills twice a day usually for 14 days. Do not drink alcohol when taking metronidazole. The number of days you continue to take antibiotics depends on your illness and the type of antibiotic medicine.
Other antibiotic medicines are sometimes used for treating PID.
Some women need to be hospitalized for pelvic inflammatory disease treatment. In the hospital, antibiotics are first given through a vein (intravenous, or IV) for at least 24 hours, followed by antibiotics by mouth, which are continued at home after discharge from the hospital. Total treatment with medicine usually lasts for 14 days.2
· Inpatient intravenous, regimen A
Cefotetan is given intravenously every 12 hours.
Cefoxitin plus doxycycline
Cefoxitin is given intravenously every 6 hours. Doxycycline is given intravenously or in pill form every 12 hours.
After at least 24 hours of intravenous antibiotics, oral antibiotics (doxycycline or clindamycin) are given.
· Inpatient intravenous, regimen B
Clindamycin is given intravenously every 8 hours. Gentamicin is given intravenously or by injection every 8 hours or once a day.
After at least 24 hours of intravenous antibiotics, oral antibiotics (doxycycline and/or clindamycin) are given.
· Alternative intravenous regimen
Ampicillin/sulbactam plus doxycycline
Ampicillin/sulbactam is given intravenously every 6 hours. Doxycycline is given intravenously or in pill form every 12 hours.
Antibiotics kill the various bacteria that cause PID.
Antibiotics are used if you have one or more signs of PID and you are at risk for PID.
Not all women who have PID will have pelvic pain. This is why many experts say that women should be treated for PID if they are at risk for PID and have pain when the cervix is moved, especially if there is an abnormal cervical discharge.
Antibiotic treatment kills the bacteria causing PID. The risks of a future tubal pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy), ongoing (chronic) pelvic pain, and infertility are less if you start treatment early.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of these medicines include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Doxycycline can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) may not work as well while you are taking doxycycline. Talk to your doctor about how you can avoid pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Blog Posts in Category: food waste
April 8, 2013
Originally I planned on writing a blog about food labels because they are quite different here in England. I found a few sites about the regulations but they were very dry and I could not imagine writing anything overly thrilling with such dry material. After becoming frustrated I began looking into foods that are banned here in the UK. While on the quest for this information I came across a fascinating company that uses "past-sell-date" foods. This immediately intrigued me so I had to read... Read More

Chapter 3 in Evaluation of the Fulfilment of the CNB's Inflation Targets 1998-2007, 2008, pp 35-46 from Czech National Bank, Research Department
Abstract: In the period 1998-2007, inflation very often deviated from inflation targets of the Czech National Bank, most of these deviations being in the direction of undershooting the targeted level. In this paper, a purely statistical, model-independent procedure is used to search for an answer to the question of whether this clear asymmetry in inflation target fulfillment can be explained more by an asymmetry in outside shock or an asymmetry of the Czech National Bank's monetary policy. Our results indicate that the latter explanation is statistically more persuading. For the period since 2002, moreover, it looks like the decisions of the Czech National Bank's Bank Board more or less sticked to the recommendations implicit in materials supplied by the Bank's forecasting team; the bias in this second period, at least, can therefore be ascribed to the Bank's forecasting apparatus rather than preferences of the Bank Board as revealed in its monetary policy decisions.

The dermis is a dynamic environment with complex interactions of collagen, blood vessels, elastic fibers, and mucopolysacchardies and ground substance. The family of enzymes known as Matrix Metalloproteinases (MPP) play a major role in maintaining the tight control of events.
From the diagnostic standpoint, the pathologist determines the location of inflammatory cells within the dermis and examines any alterations within the collagen. Putting together a combination of these changes leads to a differential diagnosis. Finally, combining these changes with the clinical history and appearance of the lesion leads to a diagnosis.

HSP47 is a useful marker for skin fibroblasts in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens
K. Kuroda and S. Tajima
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology
Volume 31 Issue 3 Page 241 - March 2004 Abstract quote
Aim: This study was undertaken to assess whether heat-shock protein (HSP)47 is a useful cell marker for skin fibroblasts in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin specimens.Background: HSP47, a 47-kDa HSP, is a collagen-specific molecular chaperone localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. HSP47 plays an essential role in collagen biosynthesis in skin fibroblasts.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect HSP47 in skin fibroblast cultures and skin tissue sections.
Results: Immunostaining for HSP47 clearly detected skin fibroblasts in paraffin tissue sections as well as in fibroblast cultures and frozen tissue sections. HSP47 staining on paraffin sections from diseased skin specimens revealed that skin ulcer, keloid, nodular fascitis, spindle cell lipoma, and dermatofibroma had strong signals for HSP47 compared with the signals obtained from normal skin. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans had many HSP47 positive cells, but signals on individual cells were not as strong as those seen from the above benign proliferative disease samples. In neurofibroma, a small number of faintly positive cells were detected. Our double-immunostaining studies also demonstrated that HSP47 staining distinguished skin fibroblasts from CD68-positive histiocytes/macrophages, factor VIII-related antigen-positive endothelial cells, or factor XIIIa-positive dermal dendritic cells. CD34-positive interstitial cells coexpressed HSP47 in spindle cell lipoma.
Conclusions: These findings indicate that HSP47 staining can detect skin fibroblasts in routine, paraffin-embedded specimens. A panel approach using HSP47 and other cell markers on paraffin sections may help the identification of the cell type involved with mesenchymal proliferative disorders.

iPad stolen from Wal Mart ?
Hello, I've been reading the website for a while now. I purchased an iPad white 16gb for 7 year old cousin who's parent (my aunt) is going through chemotherapy. I went to deliver the iPad but when we opened it the iPad was filled with phonebook cutting from the local phonebook (area code matched, therefore not stolen from Apple's end).
What I'm thinking is someone returned the iPad as "new" and weighed the package and I picked up the fake iPad. It was the exact weight I believed it. Shrink-wrapped perfectly. What is your advice on this situation? I'm embarrassed because my cousin was really excited for the iPad. I'm mad because I was fooled. Please advise, I plan to go talk to the manager of walmart, etc. But I don't think that is enough. Police report has been done also. |

You paid for a box that there was no electronic equipment in it, only a copy displaying a phone book? If so, you need to go back to Wal-Mart right away and explain what happen. Definitely.

No. The OP said that he (or she) bought an iPad 2 from Walmart that was perfectly shrinkwrapped. There was no iPad in the box, but instead there were a bunch of pages from the local phonebook in there to make up for the weight. Someone obviously bought an iPad 2, took the iPad 2 out of the box, replaced it with phonebook pages to make up for the weight and shrinkwrapped it with a shrinkwrapping machine (?), and then returned it as if it had never been opened.

So the proper steps here is: 1) Store 2) Manager 3) Credit Card 4) Police 5) District Manager w/Police Report 6) Apple to check if serial number was activated/registered It'll be interesting to see further photo proof of how this is resolved so good luck to whoever was wronged in this scenario. EDIT: Does anyone else find it odd that instead of doing ANY of those things to protect himself, he instead signed jup to a message board to post pictures and tell his story? Why would anyone care about the opinions of strangers over the decisions of people who can rectify the situation? Last edited by urkel; Jul 16, 2011 at 09:27 AM. |

Slightly OT, how do you know this fake box is *exactly* the same weight as one with a real iPad inside?

Take it back ASAP to walmart. If they give you any hassle and don't either provide a replacement iPad or your money back, contact your credit card company and get your money back by disputing the charges.
Don't let them trick you into holding off filing a dispute if they want to run an investigation first, by the time they are done it may be too late to file a chargeback. No one has mentioned it, but walmart probably has shrink wrap machines in the back that they use to rewrap returns, so this very well could be a case of employee theft, vs a consumer who did a fraudulent resign. (It would be very easy for an employee to simply open a box, take the iPad, dump a phonebook from a nearby desk in for weight and rewrap....) I remember a case on the consumerist a couple of years back that someone had replaced a hard drive with something like a brick... |

Actuualy, I believe the thread starter said he did file a police report already in his opening thread.
Both employee theft and fraud by a consumer happens all the time, there is no 100% way for us on an Internet forum to really know who actually did it. Obviously, if I was an innocent purchaser I would be very angry of being accused of theft! If I trying to scam a company, why would I highlight it on an Internet forum as well.... File the chargeback, I have had very good outcomes with Amex when I have had to do that in the past. If walmart will not make this right, the purchaser may have to file a case in small claims court. Keep records of all your contacts, keep the box and all the material, pictures, receipts, credit card records etc... |

ive seen alot of funny stuff and things that were the ops fault but this isnt one of them. This is why i like to buy from the apple store because i have them open it up in front of me to make sure everything works perfectly. That being said when you buy a sealed product you expect the damn product you bought. Im really sorry about that op and i hope everything is promptly resolved.

Perhaps ... I just saw a murder show where a "random" 911 caller reported the victim's neck was broken. The truth was the random person was in fact the killer and let it slip. My radar went off when I read that comment about the package being the exact same weight in the OP.

Thanks for the advice everyone. The store manager and police resolved the problem and refunded me the money. I took money instead of another iPad 2 from the store because I going to buy from the apple store online.
I called the police first last night and got them to come to my business suite. When they met they said I should go to the store first (like many of you said), but they said they will accompany me. When we were there about five or six people were involved excluding the cops. They spent about one hour viewing video tapes from the store. The female general manager explained that one customer bought two iPads and returned one of them. The iPad WAS NOT checked when returned, and the manager explained that was not procedure. If the item was opened they send it back to the manufacturer ( Apple I assume). They thought it was unopened so they put it on the floor again. There is a report now, however, the customer they tracked paid cash. Thank you all for the kind replies. To all the people who doubted the situation, it took five minutes to sign up for the forum and post the pictures while I waited for the police. I don't know how long it takes you to post pictures on a website but for me it's quite easy. It is quite sad the skepticism and pessimistic views of the world and of people. And have you ever held an iPad 2 box with an iPad 2 inside? Yes. That's how much it weighed. Not that hard to comprehend. Again, thanks for your help. I posted for ideas for anything I can do in addition to what I have already done. It was more of a brainstorm to see if I missed anything in the process. The store manager wanted to assure me that it was not a walmart employee that acted like so and walmart was very professional in that regard and secure in their important products. Definitely writing a thank you letter. Edit: the manager also confirmed that the shrink-wrap was not standard of apple products. I should have known better seeing how I have bought an iPad 2 before.

I agree. And if we keep making concessions for these dumb decisions, people will keep making them.
Printable View
Yes, I do, in some cases. As I said, Germans did it for about the first 70 years that they were in America. However, it was easy for them to do it, as they lived in self sustaining communes and didn't really need to, nor desire to, associate with the "outside"
However, overall, I agree with what you say, and statistics sure bear that out as well. Since our inception, 97% of Americans have learned the English language. So, yes, we sure seem to understand that we need to speak English.
Now, here's the interesting rub in all of this: we are one of the only countries in the world that does not have a national, official language. Yet, no other country in the world has a higher language acquisition rate of its citizens than does the U.S., all without laws telling us that we need to learn the language, or laws that declare an official language.
This tells me, and others who spend way too much time studying this stuff, that immigrants sure seem to understand that to succeed in the U.S., they need to learn the language.
you have a great point....the majority of immigrants in this country want to learn english and try very hard to do so. i would still like to see us adopt english as an official language.
Most realize they have to learn the language but refuse to speak it. There are parts of Phoenix that unless you speak spanish or look hispanic you will not get anything. I was told by my buddy that lives in one of those areas is that the people living there learn english so they can understand what the "gringo" is doing but by speaking their own language they feel like they are in the process of "taking back" this land.
On the other hand one of my buddies who's parents came here from Mexico legally refuse to let Spanish be the only language spoken in their home. They want their kids to learn the language (spanish) but want it to be their second language.
On a side note i very impressed that people can speak more than one language and i am jealous of those who can. I wish i would have paid more attention when i was younger and learned another language .
I never said anything would change just that i would still like to see it official. I would like our goverment recognize english as our official language because i think it is important for a country to have an official language. You will still have people out there that refuse to learn the language and not much would actually change in the day to day. It is just something I would like to see done.
no I understand and i struggle to articulate my stance. I guess to me a national language helps define a growing nation. I know at first it would have been impossible to have a national language since we were a nation of immigrants from all over the world, but i believe we have matured enough as a nation to have our own official language.
I don't have a problem with other people wanting to learn and speak other languages, in fact i applaud those who know more than one language.
I am not sure if that satisfies your curiousity or develps more questions. Like i said i am having a hard time articulating my stance/feeling on this.b
Correct me if I'm wrong. But don't southern states like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California have public street/road signs that are written in both english and spanish? That, imo, is a waste of tax payer dollars and perpetuates the notion that you don't need to speak our language.
Apparently there are schools in chinatowns and german villages throughout our country that are graduating high school seniors who can't speak english. Before this thread I wouldn't have believed it, but Ban and Sully have set me straight. This, too, is leading someone to believe that they don't need to know our language.
Those are a couple of the concessions. Since we all agree that it is dumb to not learn the language, I'm sure we can agree on these things, too. And I now tap out. This thread has ran its course for me and I think we are all saying the same thing at this point.
