The Space
Welcome to GringoWasi, come unwind and escape in our relaxing B & B where we will tend to all of your travel needs. Located just 30 minutes outside of Cusco in the small village town of Huarocondo, GringoWasi is a quaint bed and breakfast where you can experience true Andean culture just outside your door. At GringoWasi you are close enough to all the major ruins and sites, yet away from the hustle and bustle of Cusco city life. Some of the services we offer here at GringoWasi are:
*Airport pick-up and drop off
*Private drivers into Cusco, the ruins and all major sites
*Travel preparations for Machu Picchu (including transportation to the train station, train ticket purchase and hotel accommodations in Aguas Calientes if desired)
*Typical Peruvian and International meals
*Itinerary preparations for your entire stay in the region
*Private or semi-private day tours (including Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Southern Valley and many other local ruins and sites)
*Laundry service
*Free Wifi
*Direct TV
*Comfortable rooms for one or more travelers
Whether you are looking for an all-inclusive package, lodging in a typical village, are interested in escaping the tourist vibe or if you just want a quiet place to relax after a trek, this is it. In our quiet town of Huarocondo you will enjoy peaceful nights, and beautiful scenery, Huarocondo is the perfect place for relaxing after a long day of exploring sites, and you can even sit in the main plaza without the worry of being bothered by venders selling souvenirs. If relaxing is not your thing then you can take advantage of our rural location and explore the many trails around town, some of which wind through fields of choclo, potatoes, abas or quinoa. You can get a work-out hiking up one of the local mountains, or take a leisurely stroll to the local Incan terraces close to Zurite. If you are interested in seeing the many archeological sites in the region, don't worry, we can arrange tours or transportation to any place you may be interested in from Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley to the lesser visited sites like Tipon and Pikillacta. We can also arrange transportation to and from Cusco if needed and public transportation is readily available, for those preferring to get around on their own.
GringoWasi is not a hotel or hostel, but a true Bed and Breakfast, offering comfortable and spacious rooms that all include a full breakfast each morning. So if you are looking for an experience a little different from the normal tourist, are interested in local culture, or would just like a quiet place to call home for your visit, look no further than GringoWasi.
This spacious room features one double bed, a table with two small chairs, one larger chair for relaxing, night stands, small armoire, towels, linens, down comforters, locally handcrafted décor, lockable storage, 32" LCD television with satellite and DVD player, and shares a bath room with two other rooms. A full breakfast is included with your room and may include (subject to availability) fresh baked breads, fruit, ham, cheeses, jam, eggs, fruit juice, coffee, and teas. Clock Radio i-Pod docks and hair dryers are also available upon request.
If you are unable to find availability for this room, or would like to check out some of our other rooms, please use the links below.
Guest Access
Guests will have access to the main/shared room where we have areas for sitting and relaxing as well as a TV/DVD and laptop computer. Guests also have 24 hour access to the dining room, with access to filtered drinking water coffee and tea.
Interaction with Guests
We live here at the property so you will most likely see us a lot, we always try and have dinner at the same time so that any guests wanting to, can join us for dinner. Breakfasts are a little different as, different guests need to leave at different times, depending on their schedules. Additionally, anytime we are not away transporting or taking guests on tours, we are here at the property.
The Neighborhood
Huarocondo is a small rural town set in an agricultural valley, located mid-way between Cusco and the Sacred Valley, with the main attraction being the beauty, peace and tranquility. There are plenty of roads and trails for hiking and the largest lake in the Cusco region is just 11.5 km to the North East. Additionally there are two archeological sites close by, Andenes Zurite which is 5.6 km to the south and the trail to Wata is 5.5 km to the North West. The property is located just one block from the Huarocondo main Plaza where you can sample the local specialty of lechon or roast pig, and there is also a large colonial church on the main plaza that houses several paintings, that we have been told, are more valuable than the ones in the cathedral in Cusco.
Getting Around
There are a few options for transportation in and out of town, depending on where you want to go. The first and easiest is for us to arrange a car and driver for you; this can be almost any time of day or night, and services range from basic transportation to full day tours.
There is also public transportation available in and out of town by either colectivos or buses. These start about 5:30am and will continue until either 6:30pm or 9:00pm depending on the route.
Other Things to Note
Our goal here at GringoWasi is that you to enjoy your vacation to the fullest, if you have any questions or need something, please don't hesitate to ask. Just because we don't "offer" something, doesn't mean it is not within our ability to provide. We do our best to anticipate our guest's needs but not all guests are the same, so don't be afraid to ask.
We also send out a list of travel tips and other useful information after you have booked, sometimes this information will end up in your junk folder, so if you have booked with us, please check your junk folder after making the booking for additional information.
At GringoWasi our guests comfort and enjoyment is our primary concern, with this in mind, please consider the following policies when planning to stay with us.
1.Smoking: Our property is completely smoke free, we value our guest health and due to the configuration of the property, smoke produced even on the patio tends to get into all the rooms, for this reason we ask that if you need to smoke, please step outside the property.
2.Payment: We accept two forms of payment here at the property. Visa cards are accepted and will be subject to a 6% fee. We also accept cash, either US Dollars, Euros or Peruvian Nuevo Soles.
3.Check-in: While our standard check-in hours are 2pm to 9pm, we can usually accommodate earlier and/or later check-ins, if we are notified in advance.
4.Check-out: We ask that all guests have their room cleared out by 12pm (noon) for cleaning. Late check-outs may be available upon request.
5.Quiet Time: In an effort to ensure all of our guests have a good night's sleep, we ask that guests respect a quiet time between the hours of 10pm and 8am

Lyle and Lily made me feel extrememly welcome. The room was huge and light and the bed very comfortable. It was quite entertaining listening to the country sounds in the morning as the animals passed below on their way to the fields!
Huaracondo is a typical small town, where you will be the only tourist. It is very easy to get a collectivo into Izcuchacha and beyond. It is also well known for its lechon or roast pig which is sold in the plaza and definitely worth trying.
Lyle and her husband are the best host! I went to Peru with little planning and they helped me on literally everything, from picking me up in the airport to schedule bungee jumping lol. The town is very nice and not touristy, but also close to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Clean and spacious room. Thanks you really made my trip to Peru more enjoyable!
Gringo Wasi is a great place to stay at when you're in the Cusco/Machu Picchu/Sacred Valley area. Since these places are very crowded with tourists, we appreciated staying in Huaracondo, a village without a single souvenir shop.
Our room was very big; bathroom etc were very clean. Breakfast was good. You can optionally join Lyle and Lilli for dinner (4 USD).
Lyle and Lilli are very friendly and offer pick-ups from airport/station. They also help booking tours to the above mentioned sights.
We highly recommend Gringo Wasi!
Foi maravilhoso estarmos com Lyle nos deu toda atenção organizou nossos passeio,nos levou a lugares ótimos ,apresentações de festa flocorica,danças típicas do local. É muito gentil deixou todos seus afazeres para nos acompanhar,nos orientar.Preparou nosso lanche para comermos no trem .Parecia uma Mae cuidando de suas filhinhas, que leva e busca na escola . Muito muito obrigado eu voltarei com meus filhos,recomendo a todos podem ir a casa de Lyle Walker.GingoWasi
Absolutely wonderful stay with Lyle & Lily! They were so helpful and attentive to any needs. Very professional with how they run everything, yet at the same time having a real 'homely' feel—they were kind of like a mum and dad away from home :)
I left a book in my room after I checked out and they were so kind to drop it off in Cusco for me.
Amazing people!
our stay with lyle and lily was lovely. huarocondo is a sweet and quiet little out of the way town, with easy access to other places if you want. the breakfasts and dinners were delicious, and lyle and lily were very helpful with providing transportation and and answering lots of our questions. thank you so much for everything!
Staying with Lyle and Lilly was easier than staying with a family member. Before our trip Lyle was very accommodating in helping us get some of the other details of our trip figured out. He went out of his way to book our Inka trail trip and we greatly appreciated that. Once in Peru both Lyle and Lilly made us feel welcome, safe and informed the entire trip. Between taxiing us around, giving us tips, and allowing us to store our luggage they took almost all the stress out of travelling in South America for the first time. Their place is located in a very small town which gave us a more authentic view of life in Peru. While it is small there is enough to do and try there and even though it is a little over an hour to Cuzco it is very easy to get to using the public transportation ($4 total). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bnb to anyone looking to experience Peru away from all the crowds of tourists. Thank you for making our stay so great.

About the Host, Lyle
My wife and I have enjoyed traveling for many years and have visited a lot of places around the world, recently we decided to enter the hospitality side and open our own bed and breakfast in Cusco. Being seasoned travelers, we know the value of a comfortable and quiet place to rest, at GringoWasi we and are dedicated to ensuring our guests are well rested and ready for their next day of exploring.
Iglesia San Martin de TursThis church is surprising considering the small size of our town, the pulpit and paintings are some of the best in the Cusco region and the main alter is beautiful with its gold gilding.Huarocondo Cuzco
Plaza de ArmasThe Plaza de Armas is an excellent place to relax and people watch or enjoy a plate of the town's famous lechon. This is also where the local Sunday Market, festivals and celebrations are held.Huarocondo Cuzco
IzcuchacaThe best place to experience a true local Sunday market, no stalls selling souvenirs, just local goods and products. Distance to town about 10 minutes from our property.Izcuchaca Cusco
MorayThese are the only round Incan terraces in the region and one of several theories as to their use include having been an agricultural testing site. Distance to site about 45 minutes from our property.Cusco
Maras Salt MinesHere you can see where Salt has been harvested since the Incan times, and this site can be reached in about 45 minutes from our property.Cuzco Region
ChincheroWhile most people visit the Church, the town is known for its weaving and has a large area of Incan Terraces. Distance to site about 45 minutes from our property.Chinchero Cuzco
OllantaytamboThe archeological site overlooks the city of Ollantaytambo where sections of the city still have their original Incan layout. Distance to site about 1 hour 15 minutes from our property.Ollantaytambo Cuzco Region
SaqsaywamanThe best of the 4 sites on the hill overlooking the city of Cusco, if your time is short then this is the one site you should see. Distance to site about 1 hour 15 minutes from our property.Cusco Cuzco
Santuario Historico Machu PicchuOne of the new 7 wonders, an amazing place that will take a full day to explore, I don't think I need to say much more about this one.Cusco

Really nice rug!
This rug is beautiful. The colors are strong but not overpowering - just muted enough not to be garish. The pile is thick and has a nice bounce to it. At this price for a 100% wool rug of this quality I think it was a great purchase.Read More

Below is the poem entitled Chardon which was written by poet
Brown. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Bri Brown
A normal day,
A boy sits down with his friends,
He sets his bag down.
They talk about plans,
Ans what's happening later,
They're all unaware.
The day turns drastic,
No one would have suspected,
That this would happens.
A gun is fired,
Into a group of students,
Their plans are ruined.
My condolences.

The good news was the Carl Albert State College Vikings baseball team beat Friday's rain to get its home doubleheader played against Rose State College at Ival Goodman Field. Unfortunately, the weather was the only thing the Vikings were able to beat as the Raiders swept Friday afternoon's twinbill by scores of 6-3 and 9-0.
Carl Albert's single, nine-inning game against Connors State College at Ival Goodman Field was rained out, and it has been rescheduled for 3 p.m. April 22. Also, CASC has rescheduled the road doubleheader against Arkansas Baptist for 3 p.m. next Tuesday in Little Rock.
STILLWATER — Now that tornado season has arrived, Oklahomans need to know what to do at all times in the event of a weather emergency. Many people may not realize the safety precautions they need to take if they are at work, shopping at the local mall, participating in outdoor activities, attending a sporting event, camping or other event away from their home.
A Panama man is dead, and his son is behind bars in connection with the slaying.
Arlen Buck Lockaby, 87, of Panama was found dead at his home on Williams Road on Friday evening after a family member went to check on him, according to LeFlore County Sheriff Rob Seale.
Seale said Lockaby's son, Tim Lockaby, 51, was at the home when deputies arrived.
STILWELL — The Heavener Wolves soccer team reached Friday's title game in the Stilwell Tournament with a pair of wins on Thursday, beating Collinsville 2-1 in a shoot out and defeating Hilldale 3-1.
The Wolves played Tahlequah late Friday for the title.
Heavener's girls suffered three losses over two days to be eliminated from the tournament.
The Lady Wolves, who were undermanned due to injury and a player gone for a family matter, lost 2-0 to Collinsville on Thursday, then lost 3-0 to Hilldale and 1-0 to Porter Consolidated on Friday.
WILBURTON — The Poteau Lady Pirates track team made it 2-for-2 in meets this season as they won the Wilburton Invitational on Thursday. Poteau had 147 points, with Vian a distant second (104 points).

CASC will face Seminole State in Shawnee in a 2 p.m. doubleheader on Tuesday.
It makes no difference the level of baseball, a pitcher gets a thrill when throwing a perfect game. Just ask Spencer Wells.
Wells, who pitches for the Poteau Rebels OK Kids baseball team, did just that, throwing a perfect five-inning game as the Rebels defeated the Spiro Muddawgs 5-0 in the title game of the 2013 OK Kids Preseason Tournament on Thursday night at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex.
Wells faced the minimum 15 batters in five innings with 11 strikeouts.
POCOLA — In a three-way baseball festival that was all LeFlore County on Thursday, the Spiro Bulldogs were the big winner on the day.
The 'Dogs defeated the host Pocola Indians 4-3 and handled the Howe Lions 13-5. The middle game went to the Indians as they rallied past the Lions for a 3-2 victory.
WHITESBORO — Wister pitcher Colby Turnipseed pitched a no-hitter as the Wildcats blanked the Leflore Savages 13-0 on Thursday. The 'Cats then used a five-run fifth-inning to rally past the host Whitesboro Bulldogs 8-4.
The 'Dogs got past the Savages 6-2 in the other game of the day.
Talihina 17, Coalgate 8: In Talihina, the Golden Tigers, leading 10-8 in the fifth inning, used a seven-run fifth inning to end the game by run rule, since Talihina's lead was at nine runs in the fifth inning.

ABSTRACT: While occasional reports of mitral valve chordal rupture have been described in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the exact prevalence and characteristics of this event in a large medical cohort have not been reported. To assess the prevalence of mitral valve chordal rupture in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the clinical, echocardiographic, surgical and histological profiles of those patients. We searched for patients with mitral valve chordal rupture diagnosed by echocardiography among all electronic files of patients admitted to our centre for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy between 2000 and 2010. Among 580 patients admitted for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, six patients (1%, 5 men, age 68-71years) presented with mitral valve chordal rupture, symptomatic in five cases, always involving the posterior mitral leaflet. In all cases, echocardiography before rupture showed mitral valve systolic anterior motion, with anterior (and not posterior) leaflet elongation compared with a random sample of patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (P=0.006) (and similar to that observed in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). Significant resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction was always present before rupture and disappeared after rupture in the five cases requiring mitral valve surgery for severe mitral regurgitation. Histological findings were consistent with extensive myxomatous degeneration in all cases. Mitral valve chordal rupture is: infrequent in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; occurs in aged patients with obstructive disease; involves, essentially, the posterior mitral leaflet; and causes, in general, severe mitral regurgitation requiring surgery. Myxomatous degeneration may be the substrate for rupture in these patients. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases 03/2015; 108(4).

ABSTRACT: Focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) has emerged in recent years and has created new possibilities in the clinical assessment of patients both in and out of hospital. The increasing portability of echocardiographic devices, with some now only the size of a smartphone, has widened the spectrum of potential indications and users, from the senior cardiologist to the medical student. However, many issues still need to be addressed, especially the acknowledgment of the advantages and limitations of using such devices for FCU, and the extent of training required in this rapidly evolving field. In recent years, an increasing number of studies involving FCU have been published with variable results. This review outlines the evidence for the use of FCU with pocket-echo to address specific questions in daily clinical practice. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Article: Collagen plug-based vascular closure devices do not decrease vascular and bleeding complications occurring after balloon aortic valvuloplasty[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The benefits of vascular closure devices (VCDs) in the prevention of vascular complications after femoral intervention remain controversial. To evaluate the efficiency of collagen plug-based VCDs in the prevention of femoral access complications after balloon aortic valvuloplasty. We conducted a prospective analysis of consecutive patients who underwent balloon aortic valvuloplasty by femoral retrograde technique in our centre between 2009 and 2012. Group 1 included 75 patients in whom femoral puncture haemostasis was obtained with the use of an 8F collagen plug-based VCD (Angio-Seal™; Saint-Jude Medical, Inc.); group 2 included 105 patients who had manual or mechanical groin compression (FemoStop™; RADI Medical Systems, Inc.). We did not use heparin during the procedure. We collected data on major in-hospital adverse events, major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium classification≥3) and vascular access complications. We included 180 patients with severe and symptomatic aortic stenosis. Indications for valvuloplasty were mainly bridge to transcatheter aortic valve implantation or palliative therapy (72%). The groups were similar in terms of median age, lower limb artery disease and body mass index. Vascular and bleeding complications occurred in 11.1% of patients and were not decreased with the use of VCDs (relative risk 2.60, 95% confidence interval 1.10-3.09; P=0.05). These findings were consistent across all prespecified subgroups. Duration of hospital stay was not reduced by VCDs. Based on the results of this study, performed with small-size sheaths and without heparin, collagen plug-based VCDs increase femoral access complications following aortic valvuloplasty. Systematic use of VCDs in elderly patients, with probable advanced limb atherosclerosis, is questionable. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Article: Clinical and echographic characteristics of patients exposed to fenfluramin or its derivatives: Results of a prospective, single-centre, observational study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fenfluramine and its derivatives have been associated with significant risk of developing valvular heart disease but its exact prevalence and severity are still debated. To evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of patients hospitalized in a cardiology centre and who had past exposure to these drugs. Between July 2011 and February 2012, patients admitted to the hospitalization and intensive care units at the University Centre of Montpellier, France were questioned about past exposure to fenfluramine or its derivatives. In patients who reported exposure, a questionnaire assessing prescribing patterns and medical history was proposed and echocardiography performed. All of the usual echocardiographic variables were analysed. We applied criteria from a French multicentre registry for diagnosis of drug-induced valvulopathy: leaflets and subvalvular apparatus thickening and retraction, leaflets loss of coaptation, no calcification, and no stenosis. Ninety-five patients exposed to these drugs were included. The majority were female (n=62, 65.3%), 53.2% (n=50) had diabetes and 90.5% (n=86) were exposed to benfluorex. Mean treatment duration was 52.3months (95% confidence interval [CI] 39.0-65.6). Valvular regurgitations were observed in 64.0% of patients (n=57) while 19.8% (n=17) had pulmonary hypertension. Highly probable fenfluramine-induced regurgitations were present in 18.6% (n=16) of patients, possibly fenfluramine-induced regurgitations in 38.2% (n=34) of patients, and unlikely fenfluramine-induced regurgitations in 25.8% (n=23) of patients. Highly probable fenfluramine-induced regurgitations were mild to moderate in severity in all except three patients. Considering the frequency of probable or possible fenfluramine-induced regurgitations and in the absence of definite knowledge about the evolution of drug-induced valvular disease, systematic questioning about fenfluramine use may be advisable in hospitalized cardiac patients.

ABSTRACT: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) after acute myocardial infarction is a catastrophic event. We describe our multicentre experience of a defect closure strategy that combined surgery and transcatheter closure. Data were obtained by retrospective chart review. Twenty patients (mean age, 67years) from three centres were studied. Median time from myocardial infarction to VSD was 6 (range, 3-9) days. Acute cardiogenic shock occurred in 12 (60%) patients. Median defect diameter by echocardiography was 18 (range, 12-28) mm. Median time to first surgical or percutaneous closure was 18 (range, 4-96) days. Twenty-seven procedures were performed in the 20 patients. Surgical closure was undertaken in 14 patients and contraindicated in eight, six of whom underwent percutaneous closure; the other two, after reconsideration, proceeded to surgical closure. No procedural complications occurred with percutaneous closure. Percutaneous closure patients were older than surgical patients (75 vs. 64years; P=0.01) and had a higher mean logistic EuroSCORE (87% vs. 67%; P=0.02). Rates of residual shunt and mortality did not differ between surgical and percutaneous patients (P=0.12 and 0.3, respectively). Those who underwent early VSD closure (<21days after myocardial infarction) had higher rates of residual shunt (P=0.09) and mortality (P=0.01), irrespective of closure strategy. The mortality rate was also higher after early percutaneous closure (P=0.001), but not after early surgery. Finally, predicted mortality (logistic EuroSCORE) was higher than hospital mortality (≤30days) in our patient population (75% vs. 30%; P=0.01). Vigorous pursuit of closure of post-myocardial infarction VSD with a sequential surgical and/or percutaneous approach is recommended for improved outcomes. Copyright © 2015.

Article: Epidemiology of coronary heart disease in HIV-infected versus uninfected individuals in developed countries[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The widespread use of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) among people living with HIV in developed countries has lead to significantly improved life expectancy. However, extensive use of the effective cART coincides with increasing reports of coronary heart disease (CHD) among people living with HIV, and CHD has become a major cause of death. CHD results from a complex and multifactorial atherosclerotic process involving the over-representation of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, particularly smoking, uncontrolled viral replication, chronic inflammation, immune activation, and exposure to antiretroviral drugs. Consequently careful selection of antiretroviral drugs, cardiovascular risk reduction, and lifestyle modifications are needed. In individuals living with HIV, cardiovascular risk assessment is becoming an important element of care. Copyright © 2015.

ABSTRACT: The latest recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have just been presented at the ESC Congress in Barcelona [1]; they updated existing literature on `sarcomeric' hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from the ESC in 2003 [2], the Societe Francaise de Cardiologie/Haute Autorite de Sante (SEC/HAS) in 2011 [3], the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) in 2011 [4] and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) in 2011 [5]. The recommendations incorporate classical elements and innovate on some important points.Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases 02/2015; 108(3). DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2014.12.002
Article: Dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with a long coronary artery lesion over 30 mm: Determinants and impact on prognosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ideal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is under debate. Lesion length is a well-recognized predictor of PCI complexity and long-term outcome. To evaluate the determinants and impact on outcome of long-term DAPT in a retrospective cohort of patients treated for a long coronary lesion. Patients (n=460) who underwent PCI for a long lesion (>30mm) were divided into two groups according to antiplatelet regimen at 1year: patients who stopped DAPT before 1year (single antiplatelet therapy group; n=168) and patients who continued DAPT for longer than 1year (n=292). Mean lesion length was 35.7±7.1mm. The proportion of patients who continued DAPT after 1year was 63.5%. The main determinants of long-term DAPT were initial presentation as myocardial infarction and implantation of a drug-eluting stent. Median follow-up was 37.4 (23-51) months after the 1-year period following the index PCI. Long-term DAPT was highly associated with a lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality by multivariable analysis and after adjustment for other predictors: hazard ratios 0.11 (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.32) and 0.15 (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.62), respectively. No increase in major bleeding was noted. In a contemporary practice, nearly two-thirds of patients who undergo PCI for a long lesion are treated with DAPT for several years. Our results suggest that long-term DAPT is beneficial in this subset of patients identified as being at high risk. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Article: Erratum to "Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by prolonged electrocardiographic recording after ischaemic stroke in patients aged < 60 years: A study with 21-day recording using the SpiderFlash® monitor" [Arch Cardiovasc Dis. 108 (2015) 189–196][Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many studies have suggested that longer duration of cardiac monitoring is suitable for the detection of occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after stroke; however, most studies involved patients aged≥65years - a population with a high stroke rate. To assess the incidence of paroxysmal AF in unselected young patients presenting with stroke. We included consecutive patients aged<60years with a stroke diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging. Aetiological screening included clinical history and examination, and biological and cardiac tests. Patients were included if they had no history of AF and if a 24-hour electrocardiogram recording detected no AF or atrial flutter. Patients wore the SpiderFlash(®) monitor for 21days after discharge from hospital. The primary outcome was detection of paroxysmal AF episodes lasting>30seconds during monitoring. The secondary outcome was detection of paroxysmal AF episodes lasting<30seconds and any arrhythmia during monitoring. Among the 56 patients included (mean age 48±9years), 39 had cryptogenic stroke (CS) and 17 had stroke of known cause (SKC). Cardiac monitoring was achieved in 54 patients (37 CS, 17 SKC); one CS patient had a paroxysmal AF episode lasting>30seconds and one CS patient had a paroxysmal AF episode lasting<30seconds (versus no patients in the SKC group). Two CS patients and one SKC patient presented numerous premature atrial complexes. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was detected in one CS patient. This prospective observational study showed a low rate of paroxysmal AF among young patients presenting with stroke, on the basis of 21-day cardiac monitoring. This result highlights the need to identify patients who would benefit from such long monitoring. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Article: Left atrial volume is not an index of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with sickle cell anaemia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is common in sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Left atrial (LA) size is widely used as an index of LVDD; however, LA enlargement in SCA might also be due to chronic volume overload. To investigate whether LA size can be used to diagnose LVDD in SCA. One hundred and twenty-seven adults with stable SCA underwent echocardiographic assessment. LA volume was measured by the area-length method and indexed to body surface area (LAVi). Left ventricular (LV) filling pressures were assessed using the ratio of early peak diastolic velocities of mitral inflow and septal annular mitral plane (E/e'). Using mitral inflow profile and E/e', LV diastolic function was classified as normal or abnormal. LAVi>28mL/m(2) was used as the threshold to define LA enlargement. The mean age was 28.6±8.5years; there were 83 women. Mean LAVi was 48.3±11.1mL/m(2) and 124 (98%) patients had LA dilatation. In multivariable analysis, age, haemoglobin concentration and LV end-diastolic volume index were independent determinants of LAVi (R(2)=0.51; P<0.0001). E/e' was not linked to LAVi (P=0.43). Twenty patients had LVDD; when compared with patients without LVDD, they had a similar LAVi (52.2±14.7 and 47.5±10.2mL/m(2), respectively; P=0.29). Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis showed that LAVi could not be used to diagnose LVDD (area under curve=0.58; P=0.36). LA enlargement is common in SCA but appears not to be linked to LVDD. LAVi in this population is related to age, haemoglobin concentration and LV morphology. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Article: Remote-controlled magnetic pulmonary vein isolation combined with superior vena cava isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: A prospective randomized study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) has focused on pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, despite initial positive results, significant recurrences have occurred, partly because of pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection or non-PV ectopic foci, including the superior vena cava (SVC). This prospective, randomized study sought to investigate the efficacy of additional SVCI combined with PVI in symptomatic PAF patients referred for ablation. From November 2011 to May 2013, RFA was performed remotely using a CARTO(®) 3 System in patients randomized to undergo PVI for symptomatic drug-refractory PAF, with (PVI+SVCI group) or without (PVI alone group) SVCI. PVI and SVCI were confirmed by spiral catheter recording during ablation. Procedural data, complications and freedom from atrial tachycardia (AT) and atrial fibrillation (AF) were assessed. Over an 18-month period, 100 consecutive patients (56±9years; 17 women) with symptomatic PAF were included in the study (PVI+SVCI, n=51; PVI, n=49); the CHA2DS2-VASc score was 0.9±1. Median duration of procedure (±interquartile), 2.5±1hours; total X-ray exposure, 13.3±8minutes; transseptal puncture and catheter positioning, 8±5minutes; left atrium electroanatomical reconstruction, 3±2minutes; and catheter ablation, 3.7±3minutes. After a median follow-up of 15±8months, and having undergone a single procedure, 84% of patients were symptom free, while 86% remained asymptomatic after undergoing two procedures. The cumulative risks of atrial arrhythmias (AT or AF) were interpreted using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using the log-rank test. Long-term follow-up revealed no significant difference between groups, with atrial arrhythmias occurring in six (12%) patients in the PVI+SVCI group and nine (18%) patients in the PVI alone group (P=0.6). One transient phrenic nerve palsy and one phrenic nerve injury with partial recovery occurred in the PVI+SVCI group. SVCI combined with PVI did not reduce the risk of subsequent AF recurrence, and was responsible for two phrenic nerve injuries. Accordingly, the benefit-to-risk ratio argues against systematic SVCI.

Article: Management of non-traumatic chest pain by the French Emergency Medical System: Insights from the DOLORES registry[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The early recognition of acute coronary syndromes is a priority in health care systems, to reduce revascularization delays. In France, patients are encouraged to call emergency numbers (15, 112), which are routed to a Medical Dispatch Centre where physicians conduct an interview and decide on the appropriate response. However, the effectiveness of this system has not yet been assessed. To describe and analyse the response of emergency physicians receiving calls for chest pain in the French Emergency Medical System. From 16 November to 13 December 2009, calls to the Medical Dispatch Centre for non-traumatic chest pain were included prospectively in a multicentre observational study. Clinical characteristics and triage decisions were collected. A total of 1647 patients were included in the study. An interview was conducted with the patient in only 30.5% of cases, and with relatives, bystanders or physicians in the other cases. A Mobile Intensive Care Unit was dispatched to 854 patients (51.9%) presenting with typical angina chest pains and a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Paramedics were sent to 516 patients (31.3%) and a general practitioner was sent to 169 patients (10.3%). Patients were given medical advice only by telephone in 108 cases (6.6%). Emergency physicians in the Medical Dispatch Centre sent an effecter to the majority of patients who called the Emergency Medical System for chest pain. The response level was based on the characteristics of the chest pain and the patient's risk profile. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of spontaneous coronary artery rupture (SCAR) 3 months after descending aortic replacement. Cardiac tamponade was confirmed at first by using echocardiography following emergency pericardial centesis. The patient was denied aortic dissection by computed tomography, thereafter diagnosed as SCAR with selective angiography, which revealed a leakage from the left circumflex branch. The patient underwent successful rupture site isolation by bilateral ligation and distal revascularization with aortocoronary bypass with saphenous vein graft.Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases 12/2014; 107(12).

CLOVIS – After a dominating showing from Jackie Ketner in East Union's nightcap against Clovis High, the long drive south seemed worth the trip after the Lancers salvaged a split with a 4-0 win over the Clovis Cougars Saturday.
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Afure Jemerigbe had 14 points and nine steals as St. Mary's of Stockton clinched the Division III girls NorCal championship at Arco Arena with a 70-45 win over Sacramento Saturday.
Five area standouts will try to re-establish the North's dominance in this year's Lions All-Star Football Classic.
RIPON – Robbie De Vries took the mound in Ripon Christian's home opener and provided a masterful performance, going five innings and holding Hughson to one hit in a 4-1 Trans Valley League win Friday.
East Union High's boys and girls swim teams had a solid day in the pool Friday, defeating visiting Patterson and Ripon in a three-team dual.
RIPON - The boys singles showdown between Landon Tillema against Chris Kem had little effect on the team outcome, but it was the most tightly-contested match when Ripon Christian visited neighboring Ripon for a Trans Valley League meeting Friday.
RIPON - That was more like it.
STOCKTON – With a scheduling conflict that had Weston Ranch hosting Ceres High during the Bulldogs' spring break, the teams pushed up the date, but only Weston Ranch was ready to play in a 1-0 win Friday.
TURLOCK – Sierra High's varsity baseball team got a shot at taking down Turlock High's ace, but the Timberwolves came up short in a 9-4 loss to the Bulldogs Friday.
Manteca High's girls soccer team was already without goal-scoring dynamo Airenne Curry, who had to miss her second straight match with an illness.
East Union had a chit in the karma bank Wednesday night and picked the right time to get it back.
Marcus Montano and his booming right foot are taking the next step.
Comfortable first-round victories allowed the East Union and Manteca girls soccer programs to rest many of their regulars.
It was a return to prominence for the Sierra High baseball program.
TRACY - It has been a long time since the Manteca High softball team has made the playoffs - not in this century, at least.
For weeks now, Manteca coach Neil MacDannald has talked about building momentum for a run at another Sac-Joaquin Section title.
Much of what Jenna Zuniga does on the right wing is cunning and calculated.
Manteca High's girls soccer team padded its program-record setting goal total Tuesday and set another new standard with a 7-0 victory over Vallejo.
Two Valley Oak League champions were crowned at The Corral on Tuesday.
Three league champions fell in the second round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Coed Team Tennis Playoffs on Tuesday.
It's been a season marred by heartbreaking losses for East Union
Ripon High's Nick Sharp and the Ripon Christian boys golf team appear to be peaking at just the right time.
STOCKTON - History was made Monday at Weston Ranch High school.
Before the Rivera sisters exploded on the scene with the force of a three-hit combo, turning East Union into a section heavy, another prolific sister act tormented defenses.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Vladimir Sobotka scored 2:16 into overtime to lift the St. Louis Blues over the Minnesota Wild, 5-4, on Sunday.
Wade Redden, Patrik Berglund, Chris Stewart and Barret Jackman also scored for the Blues, who have won three in a row. Brian Elliott made 12 saves.
St. Louis improved to 5-1-0 on the season. It's the Blues' best start since the 1997-98 season when the Blues began 7-1-0.
Zach Parise had two goals and an assist for the Wild, who have dropped three straight games. Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley each had a goal and an assist.
Niklas Backstrom stopped 29-of-34 shots in defeat.
"Very disappointed," Wild head coach Mike Yeo said. "It was a recipe for how to lose a game. ... There were more than several mistakes."
After the Blues scored three straight goals to take a 4-3 lead, Heatley tied the game with 4:08 left in regulation. Heatley batted the puck out of the air and into the net with his stick just below the crossbar. The goal was upheld following a review.
With 2:44 left in overtime, Sobotka scored from in close off a pass from Andy McDonald.
Redden's one-timer from the left circle gave the Blues a 1-0 lead at the 9:16 mark of the first period.
Parise scored a pair of power-play goals early in the second stanza to put Minnesota in front. The first goal came just 2:04 into the frame on a shot from the side of the net.
Koivu got the primary assist on Parise's second goal at the 10:52 mark. Following a battle for the puck along the boards, Koivu gathered the puck behind the net. Parise took a no-look pass from Koivu and beat Elliott for a 2-1 lead.
At the 14:37 mark, Koivu took a drop pass from Parise and beat Elliott on a shot from the right circle.
Berglund scored just over a minute later to make it a one-goal contest. David Perron carried the puck around the net before passing to Berglund. With Backstrom on his back, Berglund hit the open net for an easy goal.
Stewart deflected in Alex Pietrangelo's shot from the right point at the 11:29 mark of the third to make it 3-3.
Just over two minutes later, Jackman's slapper from the right point gave St. Louis a 4-3 lead.
"I've been around a long time and the third period was impressive," Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Back-to-back, it was a very physical game (Saturday) night (in Dallas, a 4-3 Blues victory) and to come with that type of effort (Sunday) was, I think, a real confidence booster. We didn't get down on ourselves. We really took our game to another level. A full value for the win, in my opinion."
Minnesota and the Blues split four meetings in 2011-12 ... The Blues are 3-0
at home this season ... Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon missed the game with a
foot injury.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.

Throughout 2012 Russell Athletic Atlanta Falcons Training Camp, left tackle Will Svitek will document his journey and give fans a look at the inner workings of camp from his perspective. From what it's like to be immersed in football 24 hours a day to the lighter side of camp behind the scenes, you'll get to hear about all the things that go on at training camp that fans don't get access to. Today, Svitek enjoys his day off until things go awry on the way to the spa, and he takes a moment to share his gratitude to the military.
Hey, Falcons fans. We're about midway through camp and things are going well here in Flowery Branch.
We had a day off recently and everyone spends it differently. Some guys just stay at home and relax with their families. The rookies are like little high school juniors. They went to see three movies that day. I don't have the energy to do that anymore.
On my day off, I like to take care of my body and get a massage and hang in the cold tub.
Funny story, though. My car was being delivered from California and it didn't get here until a few days ago. I didn't have a car on my day off, which isn't a big deal during training camp because you're on campus the whole time.
But I had a massage scheduled that day and the massage place I go to is pretty close to where I live, and I figured on my day off it'd be a good idea to get my feet going and walk there to get my massage.
As soon as I started the walk, I knew it was a bad idea. You know how when you're driving in your car, a place doesn't seem like it's all that far away? When you're in the middle of training camp and you have a day off, it's 95 degrees outside and the sun is blaring down on you, walking is a bad, bad decision.
It took me forever to get there, and once I got there I was completely drenched in sweat. It was kind of embarrassing when I walked in for the massage because I was just soaked.
The whole time I was cursing to myself about how bad of an idea it was to walk. The day before, it sounded like a good idea. With it being a day off for everyone, I didn't want to call my teammates and bug them for a ride, but the day after, everyone got a kick out of the story. I got a lot of, "Why didn't you call me?" questions.
But I knew good and well that no one wanted me to call them on my day off for a ride. I live within a couple miles radius of everyone on the team. We all live close to each other. I was hoping I'd be walking and one of my teammates, or even a fan out there who's reading my blog, would pick me up.
No such luck.
In the last blog, I mentioned rookie Peter Konz having to sing in the meeting room in front of the team. His song of choice was "Call Me, Maybe." The rook did a good job with it.
When you do that, you have to go up there and get into it. He did. He had a dance routine and everything.
It's one of those things where it's a good break from camp and football. Like I mentioned in my first blog, everything is hilarious during camp, but now that song is catchy and entertaining.
We all got into it. It might actually be the official theme song of the Falcons line. We've been looking at all the different renditions on YouTube when we get a free moment.
Guys are just looking for a release and some pep, and that song just does that for us. One of my teammates was going to make it as a ringtone, but I'm not going to name names for the protection of his reputation.
On a more serious note, Wednesday morning after practice presented the opportunity to meet with 100 military members from every branch as they were our guests at camp. I love working with the military. It's an important cause to me.
These guys sacrifice so much for us and it feels good when I get the chance to give back to them. After practice, I stopped by to talk to them all a little bit and try to express my gratitude for everything they do.
It was great to stop and meet with them, chat a little bit and focus on being thankful for a few moments.
Until next time, fans, make sure to tweet me questions and things you want to hear about @WillSvitek.

Welcome to the new AT&T Community
We've got a fresh look! Take the tour to see what's new.
How do I put the CNET and PCWorld News Stories Content back on this New ATT Home ???
.... This customized News Stories Content is the Most Important Feature of using the ATT Home Page for me, but now its gone and that was the main reason why I used ATT for My Home Page. ... Very Frustrated with this customized news content removal.
... So, what Home Page can I use now to have Customized News Content ??? --- Any one have a Suggestion ???
Set your homepage to: http://my.yahoo.com/
Everything will be back to normal the way you had it setup.
I had an online chat with their customer service. Not much sympathy there. Nothing I could do about it, can't change it. Sucks! Some up & comer got a promotion and felt he had to pee on our bush to mark his territory by changing our stuff that we pay for whether we like it or not. Happens all the time with web pages, sad to say. Sort of like Facebook, they don't seen to care what we want. I was told that it's easier. Yea, right! How can they think it's easier when you have to make several clicks to navigate to something that was right there in front of you before. Fools!. Makes me wonder about today's college grads. Hopefully they will realize the mistake, though I doubt it, and give us the choice to go back, like Windows classic or new view. Not that I'm a big fan of MS, at least they gave us a choice. Listen up AT&T, people don't like what you have done.
I couldn't agree more. I'm sure there are tons of disgruntled, unhappy customers that are right now looking. What ATT has done is show a total disrespect for their customer base and dictated exactly what we can or more likely CAN'T do on their (not our) homepage. Some pencil necked geek probably thought this might fly and changed everything regardless of what the consumer wants. What a great way to lose market share. ATT needs to wake up and allow people to choose what they want on THEIR homepage. Many people are going to be jumping from this ship as more and betters services are becoming available every day! To bad they don't realize that people don't appreciate spending money to be dictated to!! IS ANYONE LISTENING?????
This homepage change is absolutely awful. I've spent hours searching for just the right RSS feeds and other personalized things for my homepage, and this unannounced switch lost everything! Why can't we heep out personilizations? Why wen't we even warned of these so that we can save them, or at least list them. How RUDE and UNCARING of AT&T. I will find another homepage to personalize now, unless there is something I can't see that will retrieve everything.
Are you listening ATT? I want my old homepage back. Incredibly poor form on your part. This new one is unattractive, uncustomizable and will be short lived on my computers if not fixed quickly.
What is ATT thinking? I have lost all my personalized content. The new att.yahoo.com is UGLY.
How do I get my bookmarks back?
Absolutely HATE the new Att.net. Have already changed my homepage. Will be changing my e-mail so I never have to see an att/yahoo generated page.
mf73, I am testing a reply to your post to see if it works.
mf73, My reply to your post did not work, even though the screen says I am replying to your specific post. I am now trying the "Quick Reply" to see if that works.
Thanks to ART333 for posting this. It worked for me.
Send them all "Feedback"! We have to let them know how unhappy we are! Let's tell them what we think of the unannounced change!! Losing all of our personalization is totally unacceptable.
I hate this new home page, I don't even like yahoo and now it is forced on me. Thanks but no thanks
I gave them feedback about the beta version two weeks ago which was exactly what everyone is saying - no customization, and potential loss of important stuff. It galls me that they think they know what's best. People should be fired over stuff like this. I have re-set my homepage to something else and am looking at discontinuing my relationship with AT&T altogether. $$$$ is the only thing they will understand.
Set your homepage to: http://my.yahoo.com/
It is a big failure of judgement for AT&T not to advise their users of this way to opt out of their self-made fisasco!
Ok, this sucks. I hate this new AT&T page, so they plan on listening to their customers. Can't even customize anything. BLAH, might consider changing to another internet provider.
I lost all my personal favorites in the bottom right side of my homepage.
Thank you so much. I just got off the phone with ATT and was coming here to gripe even more. Stupid thing for them to do.
I was just reading through all the complaints here. When I talked to the ATT rep on the phone, he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. Apparently they need to read their own messageboard.
Someone is monitoring, editing, moving our messages. Why haven't THEY told us how to get our old homepage and bookmarks back? Why did ATT tell me the bookmarks had been deleted and could not be retrieved? Until I found my old stuff still intact at my.yahoo.com, I was LIVID and ready to find someone other than ATT as a provider. I learned how from someone posting on this board. Why did ATT make this change without warning? I wasted the entire morning trying to get my bookmarks back. SO irresponsible! So uncommunicative! SO uncoordinated! SO garbled! SO not improved!
I can't come up with a word negative enough to describe how I feel about this mess of a "home" page. Nothing homey about it. Anyone have a suggestion for a customizable home page?
At least for now I found my old page-yeah!!! Go to my.yahoo.com while signed in.....it worked for me.
AT&T stop asssuming you know whats best.....obviously you don't!
I feel your pain but I found my old page! I went to my.yahoo.com and it was there!
Thank you very much, so far this is working for me. I can't believe ATT didn't post this info on the web site.
As others have posted it's possible to find myyahoo, I first googled Yahoo.com and it had options. Clicked on My Yahoo and got to my customized page. Then I clicked on the "house" - homepage icon in the tool bar and clicked on Add or Change Home Page. Then click Use This as My Only Homepage. So far it is working. First, they raised my rates 3 months in a row (no loyalty discounts) now this. Who needs it.
p.s. their page is full of garbage.
oops, spoke too soon. my icon to get onto internet takes me to the new page so I had to google to my yahoo again. This time I added it to favorites and now have to do a d*** circus act to get to it. hate you att
