Construction Crew Destroys Maya Pyramid for Road Fill
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
BELIZE CITY, BELIZE—A 2,300-year-old Maya pyramid at the Noh Mul complex in northern Belize has been destroyed by a construction company that used its stones for a road-building project. Heavy equipment was used to dig away at the sides of the pyramid, exposing a narrow chamber at the pyramid's core. Although it sat in the middle of a privately owned sugar-cane field, all pre-Hispanic sites receive government protection. "These guys knew that this was an ancient structure. It's just bloody laziness," said Jaime Awe, head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology. Belizean police are conducting an investigation and may press criminal charges. The nearby Maya site of San Estevan was destroyed in a similar fashion in 2005.

What I would like to use it for is to make a 2nd frame for my current target where I can put other debuffs in to monitor then I monitor in the built-in target frame.
How does debuff filter know to monitor player, target or focus if you name it randomly?
When hovering over the textbox it suggest pet, raid1 as names. Is this a predefined list? If I name this something random and I set it up to monitor some specific debuffs, nothing happens. The built-in focus, target and player frame are quite obvious which thing they monitor but how does debuff filter know's what exactly to monitor or is what I'm asking now not implemented?

I have a pre-purchase question. Is it possible to change the share icons so that they are individually coloured (eg google red, facebook blue, twitter light blue etc)?
Hi there, you'd need to change the images to do that, but it wouldn't be too difficult if you know a bit of CSS and how to use an image editing program
Hi there, Is it possible to display full blog posts consecutively in the main feed? As opposed to just an excerpt and feature image with 'continue reading'? I ask as I'd love to get this theme if it allows for full posts to display, meaning viewers don't need to click into each individual post. Thanks and love the theme, amazing work!
Hi there yes you can show the full blog posts but if they want to comment, they'd need to go to the individual blog article as comments will not show in the main feed (only the number of columns shows e.g. "8 Comments"). thanks for the kind words too
Great, finally a theme that allows for full posts! Thank you!! And can I select how many display, for example 5 posts? Is there then a "load more" button I could use to bring up say another 5 posts?
There is no load more functionality built in, but there are quite a few free plugins on wordpress.org that you could try.
Hi Developer. I like the design of the PAGE template: http://whartonwp.wpengine.com/wharton-typography/
Is it possible to make this the default template for my POST as well? I prefer this design to the current post template design.
How do I do this?
Also, I think the design and styling of the homepage needs some help. It could be a lot better. The page templates and post template look better than the home template. Maybe if we can have a video background with opaque overlay for the big "I'm Wharton" cover on the homepage…, that'd be REALLY AWESOME.
Hi there, the templates are very similar, you'd need to edit the single.php (via the child theme) to take out all the elements you don't want. If you need any pointers please raise a request at http://meanthemes.ticksy.com.
Thanx. Ticket submitted. Ticket: #311678
thanks, we've already replied
Hello, I just bought and tried to install and I received this message: "The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet."
ok never mind i jumped the gun on the comment, figured out.
No worries and thanks for purchasing
Is there an option for multi-level / drop down menus?
Hi Micha, no it's just single level navigation, no drop downs.
At the bottom of each page of blog entries there is a link to the next or previous page. On my site those read '.PrevPage' and 'NextPage.'. How can I change these to something more readable?http://www.pllewellynjames.com/
I've tried the author support but it comes up as unavailable.
Hi there, please check out this article you'll need to translate the theme to change that text https://meanthemes.ticksy.com/article/594/ on our support portal our support portal seems to be running fine so please try again and raise a ticket if you still need help. Thanks for purchasing

Marco Andretti called the seams on the track at Auto Club Speedway "terrible." / Alex Gallardo, AP
FONTANA, Calif. - One driver described them as canyons. Another called them treacherous. Another said they were troublesome, but not any worse than last year.
Without question, though, Saturday's IndyCar season finale at Auto Club Speedway will be affected by the track's notorious seams.
"I don't think it's gotten any worse over the last 12 months, but certainly it's the biggest challenge of this race track," James Hinchcliffe told USA TODAY Sports after Friday's qualifying session. "It makes these cars very edgy to drive with the downforce levels we're running."
The seams are separations in the asphalt that run parallel to the cars. The feeling of changing lanes across the seams is akin to changing lanes from one surface to another in a road construction zone.
"They're terrible, man," said Marco Andretti, who qualified eighth-fastest but had the fastest lap in Friday's late practice session. "That's the character of this place, for sure. It can really catch you out. Cars are all over the place."
Drivers praised track officials for a grinding project that smoothed some harrowing bumps near the entry of Turn 3, but said the seams are still an issue.
"They're not great, but that's how Fontana is," Josef Newgarden said. "The bumps on the backstretch are much better. They did a nice job of grinding that down. It's a little more manageable, but you still have to battle the seams through the corner."
Two crashes during Friday's early practice session - involving Pippa Mann and Takuma Sato - were blamed on the seams. AJ Allmendinger, who encountered the same issue while finishing 16th in a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the track in March, said the seams are exaggerated by the speed, downforce and lighter weight of Indy cars.
"It's the same issue," Allmendinger said. "You still try to run in between them and find that lane to run in through the corner and stay in that lane. The car itself moves around a lot more. In a way, there's a lot more room for error with speeds this high."
The two-mile oval hasn't been resurfaced since it opened in 1996. Some drivers are calling for it.
"It's one of two things - it's either resurfacing the track or we switch our downforce rules," Hinchcliffe said. "We're not in any rush to get back to pack racing, so realistically the only fix is resurfacing the track."

Article: Variation in 60-day Readmission for Surgical-site Infections (SSIs) and Reoperation Following Spinal Fusion Operations for Neuromuscular Scoliosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Readmission for surgical-site infection (SSIs) following spinal fusion for NMS impacts costs, patient risk, and family burden; however, it may be preventable. The purpose of this study was to examine variation in hospital performance based on risk-standardized 60-day readmission rates for SSI and reoperation across 39 US Children's Hospitals. Retrospective cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS) database involving children aged 10 to 18 years with ICD9 codes indicating spinal fusion, scoliosis, and neuromuscular disease discharged from 39 US children's hospitals between January 1, 2007 and September 1, 2012. Readmissions within 60 days for SSI were identified based on the presence of ICD9 codes for (1) infectious complication of device or procedure, or (2) sepsis or specific bacterial infection with an accompanying reoperation. Logistic regression models accounting for patient-level risk factors for SSI were used to estimate expected (patient-level risk across all hospitals) and predicted (weighted average of hospital-specific and all-hospital estimates) outcomes. Relative performance was determined using the hospital-specific predicted versus expected (pe) ratios. Average volume across hospitals ranged from 2 to 23 fusions/quarter and was not associated with readmissions. Of the 7560 children in the cohort, 534 (7%) were readmitted for reoperation and 451 (6%) were readmitted for SSI within 60 days of discharge. Reoperations were associated with an SSI in 70% of cases. Across hospitals, SSI and reoperation rates ranged from 1% to 11% and 1% to 12%, respectively. After adjusting for age, sex, insurance, presence of a gastric tube, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, tracheostomy, prior admissions, number of chronic conditions, procedure type (anterior/posterior), and level (>9 or <9 vertebrae), pe ratios indicating hospital performance varied by 2-fold for each outcome. After standardizing outcomes using patient-level factors and relative case mix, several hospitals in this cohort were more successful at preventing readmissions for SSIs and reoperations. Closer examination of the organization and implementation of strategies for SSI prevention at high-performing centers may offer valuable clues for improving care at lower performing institutions.

ABSTRACT: Melorheostosis is a progressive hyperostotic bone disease that commonly affects the appendicular skeleton. Melorheostosis has a significant degree of overlap with other hyperostosis conditions including osteopoikilosis and likely represent varying degrees of a clinical spectrum. This is a report of 2 patients with melorheostosis who presented with different clinical presentations and involvement of different anatomic locations. One of the patients presented with foot size asymmetry along with intermittent foot pain and limping. This patient also had irregular nonblanching yellow plaque-like lesion on the forehead. The second patient presented with abnormal gait but no pain. Radiographs demonstrated endosteal hyperostosis, which were consistent with a mixed picture of melorheostosis and osteopoikilois. Genetic testing of the LEMD3 gene from a blood sample was negative in both cases. The diagnosis of melorheostosis can be made based on the clinical and radiographic features and can be challenging to differentiate from other hyperostosis conditions.

Article: The type 2 diabetes associated rs7903146 T allele within TCF7L2 is significantly under-represented in Hereditary Multiple Exostoses: Insights into pathogenesis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by benign cartilage tumors (exostoses) forming near the growth plates, leading to severe health problems. EXT1 and EXT2 are the two genes known to harbor heterozygous loss-of-function mutations that account for the vast majority of the primary genetic component of HME. However, patients present with wide clinical heterogeneity, suggesting that modifier genes play a role in determining severity. Our previous work has pointed to an imbalance of β-catenin signaling being involved in the pathogenesis of osteochondroma formation. TCF7L2 is one of the key 'gate-keeper' TCF family members for Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and TCF7L2 and EXT2 are among the earliest associated loci reported in genome wide appraisals of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Thus we investigated if the key T allele of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7903146 within the TCF7L2 locus, which is strongly over-represented among T2D cases, was also associated with HME. We leveraged genotype data available from ongoing GWAS efforts from genomics and orthopedic centers in the US, Canada and Italy. Collectively 213 cases and 1890 controls were analyzed and, surprisingly, the T allele was in fact significantly under-represented in the HME patient group [P=0.009; odds ratio=0.737 (95% C.I. 0.587-0.926)]; in addition, the direction of effect was consistent within each individual cohort. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that TCF7L2 is differentially expressed and distributed in normal human growth plate zones, and exhibits substantial variability in human exostoses in terms of staining intensity and distribution. In summary, the data indicate that there is a putative genetic connection between TCF7L2 and EXT in the context of HME. Given this observation, we suggest that these loci could possibly modulate shared pathways, in particular with respect to β-catenin, and their respective variants interplay to influence HME pathogenesis as well as T2D.

ABSTRACT: Synovial chondromatosis is a benign disorder characterized by the formation of multiple cartilaginous nodules in the synovium of large joints. Synovial chondromatosis of the spine is very rare; this is the first reported case in the skeletally immature pediatric spine. A 12-year-old female presented with a posteriolateral neck mass and discomfort. A two-stage surgical resection of the mass was performed. This case shows that synovial chondromatosis can occur in the immature pediatric spine. Synovial chondromatosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a calcified paravertebral or lateral neck mass in children.Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B 12/2014; 24(3).

ABSTRACT: Aicardi syndrome (ACS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder that was classically characterized by the triad of agenesis of corpus callosum, infantile spasms, and chorioretinal lacunae. As new cases emerge and new common phenotypic features are being described in subsequent reports, new modified diagnostic criteria have been proposed that now classify the observed costovertebral abnormalities as supporting diagnostic features. To our knowledge there are no previous studies focusing and describing the scoliosis observed in children with ACS. We screened billing lists to identify patients seen in the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery at our institution with a diagnosis of ACS that were treated for scoliosis after 2001. A total of 5 patients were identified. Medical records and radiographs were retrospectively reviewed in all cases. In all of the patients the diagnosis of ACS had been confirmed through complete genetic evaluation and advanced imaging. The mean age when scoliosis was first noticed was 3.9±4.2 years (range, 0.5 to 10.5 y) with a mean Cobb angle of 22.5±6.7 degrees (range, 10 to 27 degrees). The mean age at the first orthopedic visit was 5.8±5.0 years (range, 1.5 to 13 y) with a progressed mean Cobb angle of 39.5±17.3 degrees (range, 15 to 57 degrees). Congenital vertebral anomalies were observed in 1 patient. Three patients were treated surgically; 1 of the 3 patients had a surgical complication with loss of intraoperative neuromonitoring signals. Two patients had not undergone surgery at the last visit with a mean Cobb angle of 75.5 degrees. The mean postoperative follow-up for the surgical group (cases 1 to 3) was 3±3.6 years (range, 0.6 to 7.2 y) and the mean total follow-up for both groups was 6.6±2.5 years (range, 2.6 to 8.6 y). Scoliosis in ACS can represent a clinically significant problem that is underdiagnosed and overshadowed by the other severe medical complications associated with the syndrome. Our data suggest that scoliosis in patients with ACS is rapidly progressive and bracing is ineffective; early screening, close observation, and low threshold for referral to an orthopedic surgeon are crucial.

ABSTRACT: The management of proximal femoral deformity in fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. The purpose of this study was to analyze the various presentations of FD of proximal femur and the results of the various treatment modalities for the same. This is a retrospective cohort study of 23 patients (24 femora) with FD who underwent surgery for the proximal femur. The study sample included 14 males, nine females. Ten patients had a monostotic disease, eight patients had polyostotic disease, and five patients had McCune-Albright syndrome. Group 1: shepherd crook deformity-included five patients who underwent femoral neck osteotomy. Four patients had intramedullary (IM) nailing with neck cross-pinning and all patients showed union. One patient was stabilized with external fixation, which failed. Group 2: nine patients (ten femora) presented with frank pathological fracture. Nine underwent fixation with IM nailing, one with locking plate and screws. Three patients had to undergo more than one procedure and all fractures showed good union. Group 3: nine patients who presented with bone cyst and pain. All patients underwent biopsy; four of them had curettage with bone graft. Shepherd crook deformity can be treated by a well-planned osteotomy and fixation with intramedullary implants with neck cross-pinning. Frank pathological fractures fixation with an intramedullary nail has excellent results even if not accompanied by resolution of the fibrodysplastic lesion. More than one procedure may be required. External fixation is not an optimal choice for fixation of femoral osteotomies in FD.Journal of Children s Orthopaedics 11/2014; 8(6). DOI:10.1007/s11832-014-0625-9

Article: Best Practices in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring in Spine Deformity Surgery: Development of an Intraoperative Checklist to Optimize Response[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Study Design Consensus-based creation of a checklist and guideline. Objective To develop a consensus-based checklist to guide surgeon responses to intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) changes in patients with a stable spine and to develop a consensus-based best practice guideline for IONM practice in the United States. Summary of Background Data Studies show that checklists enhance surgical team responses to crisis situations and improve patient outcomes. Currently, no widely accepted guidelines exist for the response to IONM changes in spine deformity surgery. Methods After a literature review of risk factors and recommendations for responding to IONM changes, 4 surveys were administered to 21 experienced spine surgeons and 1 neurologist experienced in IONM. Areas of equipoise were identified and the nominal group process was used to determine items to be included in the checklist. The authors reevaluated and modified the checklist at 3 face-to-face meetings over 12 months, including a period of clinical validation using a modified Delphi process. The group was also surveyed on current IONM practices at their institutions. This information and existing IONM position statements were used to create the IONM best practice guideline. Results Consensus was reached for the creation of 5 checklist headings containing 26 items to consider in the response to IONM changes. Consensus was reached on 5 statements for inclusion in the best practice guideline; the final guideline promotes a team approach and makes recommendations aimed at decreasing variability in neuromonitoring practices. Conclusions The final products represent the consensus of a group of expert spine surgeons. The checklist includes the most important and high-yield items to consider when responding to IONM changes in patients with a stable spine, whereas the IONM guideline represents the group consensus on items that should be considered best practice among IONM teams with the appropriate resources.09/2014; 2(5):333–339.

Article: Comparative Evaluation of Local Control Strategies in Localized Ewing Sarcoma of Bone A Report From the Children's Oncology Group[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Patients with Ewing sarcoma require local primary tumor control with surgery, radiation, or both. The optimal choice of local control for overall and local disease control remains unclear.METHODS Patients with localized Ewing sarcoma of bone who were treated on 3 consecutive protocols with standard-dose, 5-drug chemotherapy every 3 weeks were included (n=465). Propensity scores were used to control for differences between local control groups by constructing multivariate models to assess the impact of local control type on clinical endpoints (event-free survival [EFS], overall survival, local failure, and distant failure) independent of differences in their propensity to receive each local control type.RESULTSPatients who underwent surgery were younger (P=.02) and had more appendicular tumors (P<.001). Compared with surgery, radiation had higher unadjusted risks of any event (hazard ratio [HR], 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-2.44), death (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.18-2.85), and local failure (HR, 2.57; 95% CI, 1.37-4.83). On multivariate analysis, compared with surgery, radiation had a higher risk of local failure (HR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.24-4.68), although there were no significant differences in EFS (HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.94-2.14), overall survival (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 0.83-2.26), or distant failure (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.70-1.84) between local control groups.CONCLUSIONS In this large group of similarly treated patients, choice of the mode of local control was not related significantly to EFS, overall survival, or distant failure, although the risk of local failure was greater for radiation compared with surgery. These data support surgical resection when appropriate, whereas radiotherapy remains a reasonable alternative in selected patients. Cancer 2014. © 2014 American Cancer Society.Cancer 09/2014; 121(3).

Article: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Association with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Orthopaedic Considerations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the most common of several types of dysautonomia, characterized by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system manifesting with symptoms of orthostatic intolerance with or without associated orthostatic hypotension and excessive autonomic excitation. Given the numerous presenting musculoskeletal symptoms of POTS and its known associations with other clinical entities like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS constitutes an unusual treatment challenge of which the orthopaedic surgeon and other related healthcare providers should be aware.Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 08/2014; 473(2).

ABSTRACT: The use of the conventional halo is accompanied by the possibility of serious complications, especially in the pediatric population. Complications could include penetration of pin into the skull, pin loosening, pin tract infection, cranial nerve palsies, and vest-related pressure sores. The noninvasive "pinless" halo was introduced in an attempt to mitigate these problems while retaining the effectiveness of the conventional halo. The purpose of this study is to determine the indications and complications related to pinless halo application.Journal of pediatric orthopedics 07/2014; 35(4).

ABSTRACT: Unicameral bone cysts are benign bone lesions that are often asymptomatic and commonly develop in the proximal humerus and femur of skeletally immature patients. The etiology of these lesions remains unknown. Most patients present with a pathologic fracture, but these cysts can be discovered incidentally, as well. Radiographically, a unicameral bone cyst appears as a radiolucent lesion with cortical thinning and is centrally located within the metaphysis. Although diagnosis is frequently straightforward, management remains controversial. Because the results of various management methods are heterogeneous, no single method has emerged as the standard of care. New minimally invasive techniques involve cyst decompression with bone grafting and instrumentation. These techniques have yielded promising results, with low rates of complications and recurrence reported; however, prospective clinical trials are needed to compare these techniques with current evidence-based treatments.The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 05/2014; 22(5):295-303.

ABSTRACT: We report six new cases of lipofibromatosis, an uncommon pediatric soft tissue neoplasm. This is the only series of patients to be described since the initial case series of 45 patients that characterized this entity in 2000. The purpose of this study was to characterize the presentation of lipofibromatosis to further define the clinical phenotype of this rare entity. Six patients were diagnosed with lipofibromatosis at our institution from 2000 to 2012. Patient age, sex, and ethnicity were recorded, along with tumor site and size, management, and recurrence data. Half of our patients were younger than 2 years old at presentation and the other half were school age. Boys and girls were affected with equal frequency. In five of six patients, lipofibromatosis presented in its "classic" form as a mass on the distal extremities. These tumors typically measured 1 to 2 cm in diameter, in contrast to case reports in the medical literature highlighting the occurrence of lipofibromatosis of greater size and at varied anatomic sites. The tumors in our series were managed using excision, with recurrence noted in 33%. Lipofibromatosis is an uncommon tumor typically found on the distal extremities of infants, although it can appear in various sizes and locations. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric soft tissue neoplasms.Pediatric Dermatology 05/2014; 31(3). DOI:10.1111/pde.12335 · 1.52 Impact Factor
Article: A meta-analysis identifies adolescent idiopathic scoliosis association with LBX1 locus in multiple ethnic groups.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common rotational deformity of the spine that presents in children worldwide, yet its etiology is poorly understood. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a few candidate risk loci. One locus near the chromosome 10q24.31 LBX1 gene (OMIM #604255) was originally identified by a GWAS of Japanese subjects and replicated in additional Asian populations. To extend this result, and to create larger AIS cohorts for the purpose of large-scale meta-analyses in multiple ethnicities, we formed a collaborative group called the International Consortium for Scoliosis Genetics (ICSG). Here, we report the first ICSG study, a meta-analysis of the LBX1 locus in six Asian and three non-Asian cohorts. We find significant evidence for association of this locus with AIS susceptibility in all nine cohorts. Results for seven cohorts containing both genders yielded P=1.22×10-43 for rs11190870, and P=2.94×10-48 for females in all nine cohorts. Comparing the regional haplotype structures for three populations, we refined the boundaries of association to a ∼25 kb block encompassing the LBX1 gene. The LBX1 protein, a homeobox transcription factor that is orthologous to the Drosophila ladybird late gene, is involved in proper migration of muscle precursor cells, specification of cardiac neural crest cells, and neuronal determination in developing neural tubes. Our results firmly establish the LBX1 region as the first major susceptibility locus for AIS in Asian and non-Hispanic white groups, and provide a platform for larger studies in additional ancestral groups.Journal of Medical Genetics 04/2014; DOI:10.1136/jmedgenet-2013-102067 · 5.64 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Cervical spondylolysis with spondylolisthesis is a rare condition in the pediatric population. The nature of this condition and clinical presentation are important to provide appropriate management. This is a case report of 3 adolescent siblings who had C6 cervical spondylolysis with spondylolisthesis. Two cases were diagnosed insidiously with absence of neurological deficits and no instability on imaging and were treated conservatively. One case had a traumatic presentation associated with instability on imaging and was managed with cervical fusion and instrumentation. All 3 patients were doing well on a follow-up of >2 years. These cases suggest that cervical spondylolysis could be familial. The treatment was offered based on clinical presentation and presence of instability on radiographic studies.

Article: Antifibrinolytic Use and Blood Transfusions in Pediatric Scoliosis Surgeries Performed at US Children's Hospitals[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Retrospective cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS) database. To determine the association between antifibrinolytic use and red cell transfusions in spinal fusion operations performed at 37 US Children's Hospitals. Evidence from randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews suggests that antifibrinolytic therapy can significantly reduce blood loss in children undergoing scoliosis surgery, but the effectiveness of these agents as used in surgeries performed at US children's has not been studied. We included children 0-18 years of age with diagnoses indicating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) or neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) for whom a spinal fusion procedure was performed between 1/1/2006-9/30/2009. Patients with malignancy, trauma, coagulation disorders, or for whom a cell salvage device was employed were excluded. Multilevel logistic regression was used to determine associations between ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA), tranexamic acid (TXA) and aprotinin (APR) use and blood transfusions, controlling for patient and surgery characteristics. Cohorts consisted of 2722 AIS and 1547 NMS procedures. Antifibrinolytic use varied across hospitals (AIS 3.3%, IQR 0%-42%; NMS 12 IQR 0%-46%), and was significantly associated with NMS, posterior fusion, number of vertebrae fused. Overall, 15% of children received EACA, 7% TXA, and 2% APR. The median hospital-specific rate of red cell transfusions was 24% for AIS, and 43% for NMS. In AIS operations, EACA use, but not TXA use, was associated with significantly lower odds of transfusion (OR 0.42, P<0.001 vs. OR 1.0, P=0.8). In NMS operations, neither EACA nor TXA use was associated with a decrease in odds of red cell transfusions. The effectiveness of antifibrinolytics as used outside of clinical trials is unclear and should continue to be explored. Future prospective research is needed to evaluate which administration protocols will most benefit patients, as well as to determine the comparative effectiveness of these drugs in the context of other blood conservation strategies.Journal of spinal disorders & techniques 10/2013; DOI:10.1097/BSD.0b013e3182a22a54 · 1.89 Impact Factor
Article: Heparan sulfate in skeletal development, growth, and pathology: The case of hereditary multiple exostoses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Heparan sulfate (HS) is an essential component of cell surface and matrix-associated proteoglycans (HSPGs). Due to their sulfation patterns, the HS chains interact with numerous signaling proteins and regulate their distribution and activity on target cells. Many of these proteins, including bone morphogenetic protein family members, are expressed in the growth plate of developing skeletal elements, and several skeletal phenotypes are caused by mutations in HS-synthesizing and modifying enzymes. The disease we discuss here is Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME), a disorder caused by mutations in HS synthesizing enzymes EXT1 and EXT2, leading to HS deficiency. The exostoses are benign cartilaginous-bony outgrowths, form next to growth plates, can cause growth retardation and deformities, chronic pain and impaired motion, and progress to malignancy in 2-5% of patients. We describe recent advancements on HME pathogenesis and exostosis formation deriving from studies that have determined distribution, activities and roles of signaling proteins in wild type and HS-deficient cells and tissues. Aberrant distribution of signaling factors combined with aberrant responsiveness of target cells to those same factors appear to be a major culprit in exostosis formation. Insights from these studies suggest plausible and cogent ideas about how HME could be treated in the future.

Article: What Is the Current Status of Global Health Activities and Opportunities in US Orthopaedic Residency Programs?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Interest in developing national health care has been increasing in many fields of medicine, including orthopaedics. One manifestation of this interest has been the development of global health opportunities during residency training. We assessed global health activities and opportunities in orthopaedic residency in terms of resident involvement, program characteristics, sources of funding and support, partner site relationships and geography, and program director opinions on global health participation and the associated barriers. An anonymous 24-question survey was circulated to all US orthopaedic surgery residency program directors (n = 153) by email. Five reminder emails were distributed over the next 7 weeks. A total of 59% (n = 90) program directors responded. Sixty-one percent of responding orthopaedic residencies facilitated clinical experiences in developing countries. Program characteristics varied, but most used clinical rotation or elective time for travel (76%), which most frequently occurred during Postgraduate Year 4 (57%) and was used to provide pediatric (66%) or trauma (60%) care. The majority of programs (59%) provided at least some funding to traveling residents and sent accompanying attendings on all ventures (56%). Travel was most commonly within North America (85%), and 51% of participating programs have established international partner sites although only 11% have hosted surgeons from those partnerships. Sixty-nine percent of residency directors believed global health experiences during residency shape future volunteer efforts, 39% believed such opportunities help attract residents to a training program, and the major perceived challenges were funding (73%), faculty time (53%), and logistical planning (43%). Global health interest and activity are common among orthopaedic residency programs. There is diversity in the characteristics and geographical locations of such activity, although some consensus does exist among program directors around funding and faculty time as the largest challenges.Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 07/2013; 471(11).

ABSTRACT: Study Design: Therapeutic Level II Cohort Study.Objective: To evaluate the safety of adjunctive local application of vancomycin powder (VP) for infection prophylaxis in posterior instrumented thoracic and lumbar spine wounds in pediatric patients >25kg.Summary of Background Data: Spine surgeons have largely turned to vancomycin prophylaxis in an attempt to decrease the incidence of late surgical site infection (SSI) and acute SSI from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In adult patients the adjunctive local application of VP with an IV cephalosporin has been shown to significantly decrease postsurgical wound infection rates; however, the safety of VP as an adjunct in pediatric spine surgery has not been reported.Methods: We reviewed data collected under a systematic protocol specifically designed to monitor the safety profile of VP. We measured changes in creatinine and systemic vancomycin levels following intrawound application of 500mg of unreconstituted VP during spine deformity correction surgery in patients >25kg (patients also received routine IV cephalosporin prophylaxis). Lab values were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days (POD) 1 and 4. Any adverse reactions and infections through available follow-up (2-8 months) were recorded.Results: 87 consecutive pediatric spinal deformity patients >25kg who received intraoperative VP over a 9 month period were identified. 63% of the patients in this series had adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, 15% congenital scoliosis, 15% neuromuscular scoliosis, and 5% spondylolisthesis. The average change in creatinine levels between the preoperative and POD 1 draw was -0.03 and between the preoperative and POD 4 draw was -0.075. The postoperative systemic vancomycin levels remained undetectable. None of the patients experienced nephrotoxicity or red man syndrome. 3/87 patients developed a SSI.Conclusion: In this cohort there were no clinically significant changes in creatinine level or systemic vancomycin level caused by use of intraoperative VP.Spine 06/2013; 38(19).

Nonprofit organizations differ from profit-driven operations in many ways, but it is still essential that a nonprofit to have a strong organizational structure and management team. Nonprofit organizations are typically run by an executive director or a board of directors, which rely on assistant directors to help oversee all of the organization's major functions. Assistant directors are often the people who take a first look at any issues or requests intended for the executive. They assist the executives by performing high-level clerical duties such as taking messages, writing and proofreading letters and memoranda, and handing communications. If the organization is smaller, the assistant director may be responsible for managing its finances, keeping its books and handling payroll operations.Read More...
Given the many different kinds of nonprofit organizations, it is often the case that no two employers have precisely the same requirements for assistant director applicants. As a general rule, a bachelor's degree in a field relevant to the nonprofit's focus is required. Most also desire experience working with nonprofit organizations, preferably in a management role. With the large number of responsibilities that assistant directors have, applicants for the position must be hardworking, have multitasking abilities, and have strong communication skills for engaging with clients and vendors, as well as employees and upper management.

At the upper end, Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations who move into an Operations Director role can end up with a hefty increase in pay. The average income for Operations Directors is a much higher $84K per year. Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations most often move into positions as Non-Profit Executive Directors or Associate Directors of Non-Profit Organizations; those groups report median salaries that are $13K higher and $7K higher, respectively.
Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Event Management, Budget Management, Grant Management, and Operations Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 8 percent and 14 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Event Planning, Office Administration, and People Management. Skill sets containing Program Management also tend to include Operations Management, Administration, and Project Management. Those familiar with Event Planning also tend to know Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. The average inexperienced worker earns $43K, and someone who has worked for five to 10 years can expect a bigger median salary of $48K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $49K in this role. Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations who have acquired more than two decades of experience generally do see greater compensation; their average income is approximately $56K.
For Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations, busy New York offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 29 percent above the national average. Assistant Directors of Non-Profit Organizations will also find cushy salaries in Washington (+22 percent), Los Angeles (+21 percent), Boston (+17 percent), and Philadelphia (+12 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 11 percent south of the national average, can be found in Houston.

'SNL' Brittany Murphy Spoof Pulled From Website
NBC apparently pulled the online clip of a Saturday Night Live spoof of Brittany Murphy from a site, Hulu, the network co-owns. The move on Monday came a day after the actress died following cardiac arrest at her home in the hills above the Sunset Strip.
NBC wouldn't comment on the apparent removal. The spoof had Abby Elliott performing as a disoriented and somewhat clueless Murphy during a Dec. 5 segment of SNL's "Weekend Update." Seth Myers introduced the star after noting that she had just been fired from a Puerto Rican film shoot for a project titled The Caller, which appears to be true. In fact, that same weekend of the spoof, Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, returned from Puerto Rico and was reportedly picked up by paramedics at LAX for unknown reasons.
According to the New York Times, some bloggers are taking NBC and SNL to task for doing the skit and taking a dig at an actress that wasn't much in the news at the time.
As we put it recently, it was a bad month for Murphy. She was also reportedly fired by her agent.
She died at 10:04 a.m. Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Sunday after paramedics apparently found her in full arrest at her home short after 8 a.m. TMZ reports prescription medications were found at the house, and that Murphy had been suffering from flu-like symptoms that morning.

Just a number to this. Who booked two appointments at the same time! Mis diagnosed my bursitis in my knee as arthritis.
I would not hesitate recommending Dr. Brahmabhatt! He is an excellent, caring doctor and a remarkable surgeon. My issue, however, is with the wait time in the office. Schedule your appointment on a day you have nowhere else to be, or be prepared to wait over an hour from your scheduled appointment time. I also did not appreciate having to walk through a crowded waiting room in a hospital gown from the doctors office which was one one side of the building to the Xray room on the other side. Office logistics and management could be improved.
Wait time in office is long, did take his time with me, was very caring and thorough. Surgery is scheduled.
He's a great doctor, perhaps a little too quick during a visit. He should slow down and give people time to think. I just had surgery and I'm very pleased and happy with the results. I'd definitely recommend him to someone else.
I think my experience with the doctor was fantastic. He treated me for a torn ACL, and performed the surgery. He was accurate and precise in his diagnosis. He gave me a lot of information about the injury and made sure I understood what everything meant. He always asks if I have any questions. I'm very happy with the results of the surgery so far, and would recommend him to anyone. His bedside manner is excellent. He's very outgoing and a good communicator.

The record — 92-12 — speaks for itself.
That was Chris Petersen's mark in eight seasons as the head coach at Boise State, an 88.5 winning percentage that was the best in major-college football over that span.
But you won't hear, or see, him boast about that on Twitter.
Petersen was introduced as Washington's new football coach on Dec. 9 and officially took over the team after the Huskies wrapped up the Fight Hunger Bowl on Friday.

Whether he can replicate his success at UW remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen whether he will continue a ban on Twitter he enforced for players at Boise State.
"It really doesn't come up around (Boise)," Petersen said in an interview earlier this year. "They get that. I still believe strongly in that just because I think it can be emotional, and all of a sudden they hit that send button, and five minutes later, they're going, 'Oh.' There are so many other forms of media out there.
"I think they're scared to death we're going to take away Instagram and Facebook and Vine and all those other things, so they don't say a word about Twitter because it is so much the same."
