When Ernestine Farough was awoken by the sound of alarms Saturday morning, she assumed it was a routine fire drill.
But when the 51-year-old opened the door to her first-floor apartment, she was smacked hard by reality.
"There was black smoke right in my face," she said.
Just upstairs, her close friend, Maureen Hughes, was trapped in an apartment fully engulfed in flames.
Around 11:40 a.m., fire crews were called to 285 Park Lawn Rd., near Berry Rd., after a blaze broke out in a unit on the second floor of the three-storey building.
Hughes, a woman in her 70s, suffered serious burns to her body. She was rushed to hospital, where she remains in life-threatening condition.
"I saw as they were bringing her out the front door of the building," said Farough. "She was unconscious."
Hughes' cat, Hughie, died in the fire. She had only brought him home a couple months ago.
Four other people were treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation, according to EMS.
"There were a number of people hanging out of windows and balconies due to heavy smoke conditions," said Capt. Mike Strapko. "We performed multiple rescues using ladders."
The fire was knocked down within 20 minutes.
Farough said Hughes is a "friendly, outgoing" British woman who lives alone.
"I feel so remorseful for this woman right now," said Farough. "She has no family here … The poor woman doesn't even have a home to come to now. The whole apartment's virtually destroyed. Everything's gone."
Farough had lived in the same apartment for a decade before switching to her current unit. She had befriended Hughes when she moved into the vacant apartment two years ago.
"She just has a great demeanour about herself and around other people," she said. "I just want her to know that she's thought of and cared for and that she's still wanted, needed and loved."

Farsi (AKA Persian) is the official language spoken in Iran, though certain groups of Iranians might learn other regional languages as their first language.
As future students of TUMS, you might be required to achieve a certain level of proficiency in Farsi. This requirement depends on the program to which you are admitted. Certain majors and programs require students to closely work with patients and customers whose first language is Farsi. For these programs, students must have a good command of this language.
In order to facilitate the learning process, Tehran University of Medical Sciences provides Farsi language classes to all of its students in the Language Center of TUMS International College. After registration, experts from our International Office of Admissions will take care of administrative processes in order for you to start learning the language without any concerns of problems. Students who are not required to learn Farsi but wish to do so as a matter of personal interest can also enroll in language learning courses in the TUMS International College's Language Center.
Iran is a multiethnic country with its people coming from a myriad of cultures and backgrounds. Naturally, various languages and dialects are spoken in different regions of the country, namely Farsi, Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic, Armenian etc.
Farsi is the official language of the country and the one with the highest number of speakers. It is one of the languages in the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo-European languages and has a 32-letter alphabet. It is mainly spoken in Iran, Afghanistan (known as Dari Farsi) and Tajikistan (known as Tajiki Farsi). The three variations have many similarities, and Persian speakers from these three countries can, to a considerable extent, understand each other with relative ease. In terms of orthography, Farsi uses the Arabic alphabet, with the addition of four letters. Also, its alphabet is written cursively, that is in almost all words, some or all of the letters are connected to each other.
Farsi is a literary language and numerous poets, writers and historians shine brightly through its history. One of the most notable instances is Hakim Abu 'l-Qasim Ferdowsi Tusi (حکیم ابوالقاسم فردوسی توسی), commonly referred to as Ferdowsi, who is one of the most revered poets in the world, the author of the epic of Shahnameh (Book of Kings), and a national symbol of the Persian identity and heritage. More importantly, he is known as the preserver of the Persian language. Contemporary Persian has been greatly influenced by French, English and Russian, borrowing and naturalizing many lexical items in the fields of technology, sciences and humanities.

Top areas in Okinawa
Okinawa is Japan's southernmost territory, markedly different from the rest of the region. The temperate climate, excellent beaches, and insight into the little-known Ryukyu Kingdom make it a favorite among travelers, and a must-see for new visitors to the region. Originally built by the Ryukyu Kingdom, it's one of the few reminders of the region's rich and ancient history. A selection of shops, restaurants, and hotels can be found on International Street, which runs from the city center all the way to the castle. On the Motobu peninsula, travelers will find Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, a state-of-the-art aquarium featuring one of the largest tanks in the world containing manta rays and whale sharks.
Outdoor adventurers will find Okinawa to be a great destination for snorkeling, whale-watching, and even swimming with manta rays. For even more adventure, take a short trip to the Yaeyama-Shoto Island and trek along the mountainous jungles.
Okinawa features some of the most beautiful beaches in the area, one of them being Zanba Beach. Small islands like Miyako-Jima and the Keramas have also been rated to have the best beaches in Okinawa. Some of the finest accommodation in Okinawa can be found on secluded beachfront properties.
The city is served by Ishigaki Airport and flights from here connect to dozens of cities across Japan and international cities.
Learn more about the landmarks and must-see destinations around Okinawa as they're expertly outlined on the interactive map on this page.

Job Overview
"Educational Excellence in a Caring Environment"
Named by The Princeton Review as one of the Best Southeastern Colleges and one of America's Best Value Colleges, the University of West Georgia (http://www.westga.edu/) provides exceptional academic quality. The University of West Georgia, a charter member of the University System of Georgia and accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, is situated on 645 acres in Carrollton, Georgia. Named a City of Excellence in Georgia and listed as one of the 50 Best Small Southern Towns, Carrollton is the cultural, educational, health care and commercial center for the west Georgia region and is only 45 minutes from Atlanta.
Approximately 11,500 students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees enroll at UWG each year. UWG is home to the state's only Honors College, complete with an honors curriculum. The university's Advanced Academy of Georgia is one of only about 12 U.S. programs that allow gifted high-school-age students to earn concurrent high school and college credit while living on campus in a full-time residential program. In the spirit of academic excellence, the School of Nursing (http://nursing.westga.edu/ ), is partnering with the Honors College to offer a Nurse Scholars program that will mentor academically talented pre-nursing and nursing students for undergraduate research, graduate education, and professional development to become nursing's future scholars and leaders.
The School of Nursing: The UWG School of Nursing is internationally recognized for its development and implementation of Caring Groups, an experiential strategy for learning caring in nursing. Faculty members work closely with both undergraduate and graduate students to create a supportive learning environment. The faculty is committed to creating a milieu for learning that fosters "educational excellence in a caring environment" and initiated an innovative concept-based BSN curriculum in summer 2012. The School of Nursing offers BSN and RN-BSN/RN-MSN programs in Carrollton and Newnan and MSN and EdD programs 100% online. Master's coursework specializes in Nursing Education or Health Systems Leadership with an option for the AACN Clinical Nurse Leader Role. The EdD in Nursing Education program admitted its first cohort of students in fall 2012 and is offered in collaboration with the College of Education. All BSN and MSN programs are fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education through 2018. In fall 2013, the School of Nursing will occupy a new 64,000 square foot building with state-of-the-art technology to support simulation and team-based, problem-based learning for 21st century nursing practice.

Effect of a 24-week physical training programme (in water and on land) on pain, functional capacity, body composition and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia.
ABSTRACT To analyse the effect of a 24-week physical training programme in water and on land on women with fibromyalgia.
A controlled study was conducted from December 2009 to May 2010. Seventy-two women with fibromyalgia (age: 51.79±7.87 years) were assigned to an exercise group (3 sessions/week, 2 sessions in water, 1 session on land) (n=42) and to a control group (n=30). The variables analysed were: number of tender points, visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, algometer score, functional capacity (leg strength, hand-grip dynamometry, flexibility, agility, balance, aerobic endurance, heart response), body composition (body mass index, fat mass index, skeletal muscle mass index and percentage of body fat) and psychological variables (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire [FIQ] and Short Form Health Survey 36 [SF-36]).
The exercise group improved in the algometer score (p<0.001), positive tender points (p=0.005), VAS (p<0.001) and FIQ (p<0.001). Improvements were also detected in functional capacity (leg strength, p=0.001; hand-grip dynamometry, p=0.001; flexibility, p<0.001; balance, p=0.006; 6-minute walk test, p<0.001; mean heart rate, p=0.031; maximum heart rate, p<0.001 and VO2 max, p<0.001). There was a decrease in the percentage of body fat (p=0.040). There was also an improvement in the subscales of the SF-36; vitality (p=0.004), mental health (p=0.001) social role functioning (p=0.020) and general health functioning (p=0.002).
The findings of this study show that a 24-week physical training programme (3 sessions/week, of which 2 sessions are in water and 1 session is on land) reduces pain and disease impact and improves functional capacity in women with fibromyalgia.

ABSTRACT: The year 2013–2014 has been designated the Global Year Against Orofacial Pain by the International Association for the Study of Pain. Accordingly, a multidisciplinary Canadian and international group of clinical, research and knowledge-transfer experts attended a workshop in Montreal, Quebec. The workshop had two aims: to identify new pathways for innovative diagnosis and management of chronic orofacial pain states; and to identify opportunities for further collaborative orofacial pain research and education in Canada. Three topics related to chronic orofacial pain were explored: biomarkers and pain signatures for chronic orofacial pain; misuse of analgesic and opioid pain medications for managing chronic orofacial pain; and complementary alternative medicine, topical agents and the role of stress in chronic orofacial pain. It was determined that further research is needed to: identify biomarkers of chronic orofacial post-traumatic neuropathic pain, with a focus on psychosocial, physiological and chemical-genetic factors; validate the short-and long-term safety (ie, no harm to health, and avoidance of misuse and addiction) of opioid use for two distinct conditions (acute and chronic orofacial pain, respectively); and promote the use of topical medications as an alternative treatment in dentistry, and further document the benefits and safety of complementary and alternative medicine, including stress management, in dentistry. It was proposed that burning mouth syndrome, a painful condition that is not uncommon and affects mainly postmenopausal women, should receive particular attention.Pain research & management: the journal of the Canadian Pain Society = journal de la societe canadienne pour le traitement de la douleur 12/2014; 20(1). · 1.39 Impact Factor

Kalpana was a computer networking equipment manufacturer, located in Silicon Valley[1] and co-founded by Vinod Bhardwaj, an entrepreneur of Indian origin,[2][3] and Larry Blair.[4] during the 1980s and 1990s. They named the company after Bhardwaj's wife, Kalpana, whose name means "imagination" in Sanskrit.[4]
Kalpana is considered to be the inventor of Ethernet switching[1] as the company was the first to introduce the concept of a multi-port network switch with its seven-port EtherSwitch[5] in 1989.[6][7]
Kalpana also invented EtherChannel, a technology which provides additional inter-switch bandwidth by running several links in parallel. Kalpana was acquired by Cisco Systems in 1994.[1]

Middlesbrough are hoping to keep Shay Given for the rest of the season, but Premier League Swansea City have been linked with a move for the experienced Irishman.
Given is currently on loan at the Riverside from Aston Villa, as he has been covering for Jason Steele, who has just served a three-match suspension.
However, Steele now has an ankle problem so Boro are hoping to extend Given's stay.
"We will be having discussions with Aston Villa," said Boro boss Aitor Karanka.
"It depends on what Shay wants, and on what Aston Villa want to do, but I would like to have him here for the whole of the season. That would be my choice, but it is not just up to me."
On Steele, Karanka added: "Jason is not training at this moment.
"He has an injury problem with his ankle, and the doctors are working with him. I think it is a long-term thing, but the doctors are working hard to try to make sure that Jason can be back with us as soon as possible."
Swansea are now being strongly linked with Given, as Michel Vorm needs surgery, but Michael Laudrup says they have not made a move for the Villa man - although he is a fan.
"I don't think he (Given) is on our list right now but he is a talented keeper," said Laudrup.
"There are a lot of scouts in the club looking at a lot of players but we are really happy with the two goalkeepers we have now.
"It is certain that Michel has a problem, but it's not a big problem. He needs a bit of surgery but we are not talking a long time to recover.
"But you have to be up to date with positions in your squad as you never know what might happen in five or six months time. But it's more about having a list (of targets) as in a few weeks the window starts."

The Jungle Book (Looking Glass Library)by Neil Gaiman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Imagine growing up among wolves, being friends with a panther and a bear, and hunting the most fearsome animal in the wild—the man-killing tiger Shere Khan. Rudyard Kipling portrays the exciting and adventurous jungle upbringing of Mowgli in this timeless classic. Still amazingly contemporary even though it was written more than 100 years ago, the pacing, language, and characters will keep readers young and old turning the pages, and then begging for more.
Originally published in two volumes, this edition collects all the Mowgli stories and adds the very popular Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Toomai of the Elephants. This edition will feature an introduction by Newbery-award winner Neil Gaiman.
Among the best loved of all childrens classics, Rudyard Kiplings The Jungle Book is set among a community of animals in the jungles of India, where Kipling was born and grew up. Three of the stories feature the adventures of an abandoned "man cub," a boy named Mowgli, who is raised by wolves in the jungle. Other well-known stories in the collection include "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," the tale of a heroic mongoose who outwits vicious cobras in order to save his human benefactors, and "Toomai of the Elephants," the story of a ten-year-old elephant-handler.This edition includes black-and-white illustrations by Kurt Wiese and William Henry Drake.
About the Author
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India to British parents on December 30, 1865. In 1871, Rudyard and his sister, Trix, aged three, were left to be cared for by a couple in Southsea, England. Five years passed before he saw his parents again. His sense of desertion and despair were later expressed in his story "Baa Baa, Black Sheep" (1888), in his novel The Light that failed (1890), and his autobiography, Something of Myself (1937). As late as 1935 Kipling still spoke bitterly of the "House of Desolation" at Southsea: "I should like to burn it down and plough the place with salt."At twelve he entered a minor public school, the United Services College at Westward Ho, North Devon. In Stalky and CO. (1899) the myopic Beetle is a self-caricature, and the days at Westward Ho are recalled with mixed feelings. At sixteen, eccentric and literary, Kipling sailed to India to become a journalist. His Indian experiences led to seven volumes of stories, including Soldiers Three (1888) and Wee Willie Winkie (1888).At twenty-four he returned to England and quickly tuned into a literary celebrity. In London he became close friends with an American, (Charles) Wolcott Balestier, with whom he collaborated on what critics called a "dime store novel." Wolcott died suddenly in 1891, and a few weeks later Kipling married Wolcotts sister, Caroline. The newlyweds settled in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote The Jungle Book (1895), and most of Captains Courageous (1897). By this time Kiplings popularity and financial success were enormous.In 1899 the Kiplings settled in Sussex, England, where he wrote some of his best books: Kim (1901), Just So Stories (1902), and Puck of Pooks Hill (1906). In 1907 he received the Nobel Prize for literature. By the time he died, on January 18 1936, critical opinion was deeply divided about his writings, but his books continued to be read by thousands, and such unforgettable poems and stories as "Gunga Din," "If," "The Man Who Would Be King," and "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" have lived on in the consciousness of succeeding generations.

ABSTRACT: The benefit from intervention in elderly patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) and high comorbidity is unknown. Our aims were to establish the correlation between the Charlson comorbidity index and the prognosis of octogenarians with symptomatic sever AS and to identify patients who might not benefit from intervention. We used the data from PEGASO (Pronóstico de la Estenosis Grave Aórtica Sintomática del Octogenario - Prognosis of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in octogenarians), a prospective registry that included consecutively 928 patients aged ≥80years with severe symptomatic AS. The mean Charlson comorbidity index was 3.0±1.7, a total of 151 patients (16.3%) presented high comorbidity (index≥5). Median survival was lower for patients with high comorbidity than for those without (16.7±1.2 vs. 26.5±0.6months, p<0.001). In patients without high comorbidity planned interventional management was clearly associated with prognosis (log rank p<0.001), which was not the case in patients with high comorbidity (log rank p>0.10). In multivariate analysis, the only variables that were independently associated with prognosis were planned medical management and Charlson index. Patients with high comorbidity presented non-cardiac death more frequently than those who had not (28.6% vs. 19.5%, p=0.008). One sixth of octogenarians with symptomatic severe AS have very high comorbidity (Charlson index≥5). These patients have a poor prognosis in the short term and do not seem to benefit from interventional treatment. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Article: The value of comprehensive geriatric assessment in elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis – a position statement of the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis is a serious condition of elderly, mostly geriatric patients with a poor prognosis if the valve is not replaced. Since geriatricians are able to provide major expertise in the prognostic assessment as well in the clinical management of these patients, they need to be more closely involved in the decision making process. For this reason the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) represented by the authors phrased three propositions: (1) geriatricians need to be aware of the impact of severe aortic stenosis on patients' outcomes and should be encouraged to take an active role in aortic stenosis management; (2) they need to be aware of treatment options and are required to support multidisciplinary teams with their expertise in assessing geriatric patients; (3) they should routinely perform a comprehensive geriatric assessment in patients with severe aortic stenosis scheduled to undergo surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement and during long-term follow-up.European geriatric medicine 03/2015; 6(3).

Article: Centenarians and their hearts: a prospective registry with comprehensive geriatric assessment, ECG, echocardiography, and follow-up[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Data on the cardiac characteristics of centenarians are scarce. Our aim was to describe electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography in a cohort of centenarians and to correlate them with clinical data. We used prospective multicenter registry of 118 centenarians (28 men) with a mean age of 101.5±1.7 years. Electrocardiogram was performed in 103 subjects (87.3%) and echocardiography in 100 (84.7%). All subjects underwent a follow-up for at least 6 months. Centenarians with abnormal ECG were less frequently females (72% vs 93%), had higher rates of previous consumption of tobacco (14% vs 0) and alcohol (24% vs 12%), and scored lower in the perception of health status (6.8±2.0 vs 8.3±6.8). Centenarians with significant abnormalities in echocardiography were less frequently able to walk 6 m (33% vs 54%). Atrial fibrillation/flutter was found in 27 subjects (26%). Mean left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was 60.0±10.5%. Moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis was found in 16%, mitral valve regurgitation in 15%, and aortic valve regurgitation in 13%. Diastolic dysfunction was assessed in 79 subjects and was present in 55 (69.6%). Katz index and LV dilation were independently associated with the ability to walk 6 m. Age, Charlson and Katz indexes, and the presence of significant abnormalities in echocardiography were associated with mortality. Centenarians have frequent ECG alterations and abnormalities in echocardiography. More than one fifth has atrial fibrillation, and most have diastolic dysfunction. Left ventricular dilation was associated with the ability to walk 6 m. Significant abnormalities in echocardiography were associated with mortality. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Article: Incidence and clinical impact of infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aims: To describe the characteristics of infective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and results: This study was performed using the GAMES database, a national prospective registry of consecutive patients with IE in 26 Spanish hospitals. Of the 739 cases of IE diagnosed during the study, 1.3% were post-TAVI IE, and these 10 cases, contributed by five centres, represented 1.1% of the 952 TAVIs performed. Mean age was 80 years. All valves were implanted transfemorally. IE appeared a median of 139 days after implantation. The mean age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index was 5.45. Chronic kidney disease was frequent (five patients), as were atrial fibrillation (five patients), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (four patients), and ischaemic heart disease (four patients). Six patients presented aortic valve involvement, and four only mitral valve involvement; the latter group had a higher percentage of prosthetic mitral valves (0% vs. 50%). Vegetations were found in seven cases, and four presented embolism. One patient underwent surgery. Five patients died during follow-up: two of these patients died during the admission in which the valve was implanted. Conclusions: IE is a rare but severe complication after TAVI which affects about 1% of patients and entails a relatively high mortality rate. IE occurred during the first year in nine of the 10 patients.EuroIntervention: journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology 02/2015; DOI:10.4244/EIJY15M02_05. · 3.76 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: As in other fields, understanding of vascular risk and rehabilitation is constantly improving. The present review of recent epidemiological update shows how far we are from achieving good risk factor control: in diet and nutrition, where unhealthy and excessive societal consumption is clearly increasing the prevalence of obesity; in exercise, where it is difficult to find a balance between benefit and risk, despite systemization efforts; in smoking, where developments center on programs and policies, with the electronic cigarette seeming more like a problem than a solution; in lipids, where the transatlantic debate between guidelines is becoming a paradigm of the divergence of views in this extensively studied area; in hypertension, where a nonpharmacological alternative (renal denervation) has been undermined by the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 setback, forcing a deep reassessment; in diabetes mellitus, where the new dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors and glucagon like peptide 1 analogues have contributed much new information and a glimpse of the future of diabetes treatment, and in cardiac rehabilitation, which continues to benefit from new information and communication technologies and where clinical benefit is not hindered by advanced diseases, such as heart failure. Our summary concludes with the update in elderly patients, whose treatment criteria are extrapolated from those of younger patients, with the present review clearly indicating that should not be the case.Revista Espa de Cardiologia 01/2015; 68(2).

Article: Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibition Compared With Enalapril on the Risk of Clinical Progression in Surviving Patients With Heart Failure.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: -Clinical trials in heart failure have focused on the improvement in symptoms or decreases in the risk of death and other cardiovascular events. Little is known about the effect of drugs on the risk of clinical deterioration in surviving patients. -We compared the angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 (400 mg daily) with the angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitor enalapril (20 mg daily) in 8399 patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction in a double-blind trial. The analyses focused on prespecified measures of nonfatal clinical deterioration. In comparison with the enalapril group, fewer LCZ696-treated patients required intensification of medical treatment for heart failure (520 versus 604; hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% confidence interval, 0.74-0.94; P=0.003) or an emergency department visit for worsening heart failure (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% confidence interval, 0.52-0.85; P=0.001). The patients in the LCZ696 group had 23% fewer hospitalizations for worsening heart failure (851 versus 1079; P<0.001) and were less likely to require intensive care (768 versus 879; 18% rate reduction, P=0.005), to receive intravenous positive inotropic agents (31% risk reduction, P<0.001), and to have implantation of a heart failure device or cardiac transplantation (22% risk reduction, P=0.07). The reduction in heart failure hospitalization with LCZ696 was evident within the first 30 days after randomization. Worsening of symptom scores in surviving patients was consistently more common in the enalapril group. LCZ696 led to an early and sustained reduction in biomarkers of myocardial wall stress and injury (N-terminal pro-Btype natriuretic peptide and troponin) versus enalapril. -Angiotensin-neprilysin inhibition prevents the clinical progression of surviving patients with heart failure more effectively than angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition.

Article: Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis In Heart Transplant Recipients: Two Radiological Patterns With Different Prognosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Based on computed tomography (CT) findings, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) can be classified in two patterns: airway-invasive (AIR) or angio-invasive (ANG). Methods AIR-IPA was considered when the CT revealed peribronchial consolidation or a tree in-bud pattern and ANG-IPA when a nodule, cavity, halo sign, infarct shaped or mass like consolidation was found. We evaluated the correlation among IPA CT-pattern and outcome in heart transplant (HT) recipients. Results From 1988 to 2011, 27 HT recipients with a CT scan performed at the time of IPA diagnosis were included in the study. AIR- patients (10, 37.1%) were compared with ANG-patients (17, 62.9%). During the post-transplantation period before developing IPA, AIR-patients required more frequently hemodialysis (40% vs 5.9%, p=0.04). AIR patients also had more intercurrent bacterial pneumonia (23.5% vs70%, p<0.001), and IPA was diagnosed later after symptoms onset (2.7 vs 8.5 d, p=0.09). After diagnosis, AIR-IPA patients required more mechanical ventilation (23.5% vs 90%, p<0.01) and had a higher related mortality rate (23.5% vs 70%, p=0.04). Conclusions Our study shows that AIR-pattern represents 37% of IPA episodes in HT recipients and that it is associated with a more protracted clinical presentation, later diagnosis and higher mortality rate.The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation 10/2014; 33(10).

ABSTRACT: The number of patients older than 80 years is steadily increasing and it represents the main basis for increasing population figures in developed countries. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality and disability causes result in a huge burden of disease in elderly people. However, available scientific evidence to support decision-making on cardiovascular prevention in elderly patients is scarce. Currently available risk assessment scales cannot be applied to elderly people. They are focused on cardiovascular mortality risk and do not provide information on factors with a proven prognostic value in the very old (functioning disability, dementia). Elderly people are a highly heterogeneous population, with a variety of co-morbidities, as well as several functional and cognitive impairment degrees. Furthermore, aging-associated physiological changes and common use of multiple drugs result in an increased risk of adverse drug reactions. Thus, drug use should always be based on a risk/benefit assessment in the elderly. Therefore, therapeutic decision-making in the very old must be an individually tailored and based on an appropriate clinical judgement and a comprehensive geriatric assessment. The current consensus report aims to present a proposal for clinical practices in the primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention in the very old and to provide a number of recommendations on lifestyle changes and drug therapy for the management of major cardiovascular risk factors.Medicina Clínica 08/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2014.04.001 · 1.25 Impact Factor
Article: Clinical significance of conduction disturbances after aortic valve intervention: current evidence[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The occurrence of new conduction abnormalities that lead to the requirement for new permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) has been reported to be the most frequent complication following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, the reasons and clinical significance of TAVI-induced conduction disturbances and PPI are yet to be fully delineated. This review aims to evaluate the procedure- and patient-related factors that may contribute to the development of aberrant atrioventricular conduction following TAVI as well as its clinical consequences.Clinical Research in Cardiology 07/2014; 104(1).

Article: Valve surgery in active infective endocarditis: A simple score to predict in-hospital prognosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aims Surgery for infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high mortality. Our objectives were to describe the experience with surgical treatment for IE in Spain, and to identify predictors of in-hospital mortality. Methods Prospective cohort of 1000 consecutive patients with IE. Data were collected in 26 Spanish hospitals. Results Surgery was performed in 437 patients (43.7%). Patients treated with surgery were younger and predominantly male. They presented fewer comorbid conditions and more often had negative blood cultures and heart failure. In-hospital mortality after surgery was lower than in the medical therapy group (24.3 vs 30.7%, p = 0.02). In patients treated with surgery, endocarditis involved a native valve in 267 patients (61.1%), a prosthetic valve in 122 (27.9%), and a pacemaker lead with no clear further valve involvement in 48 (11.0%). The most common aetiologies were Staphylococcus (186, 42.6%), Streptococcus (97, 22.2%), and Enterococcus (49, 11.2%). The main indications for surgery were heart failure and severe valve regurgitation. A risk score for in-hospital mortality was developed using 7 prognostic variables with a similar predictive value (OR between 1.7 and 2.3): PALSUSE: prosthetic valve, age ≥ 70, large intracardiac destruction, Staphylococcus spp, urgent surgery, sex [female], EuroSCORE ≥ 10. In-hospital mortality ranged from 0% in patients with a PALSUSE score of 0 to 45.4% in patients with PALSUSE score >3. Conclusions The prognosis of IE surgery is highly variable. The PALSUSE score could help to identify patients with higher in-hospital mortality.International Journal of Cardiology 07/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.ijcard.2014.04.266 · 6.18 Impact Factor

Article: Prospective Registry of Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis in Octogenarians: a Need for Intervention.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To study the factors associated with choice of therapy and prognosis in octogenarians with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Prospective, observational, multicenter registry. Centralized follow-up included survival status and, if possible, mode of death and Katz index. Transnational registry in Spain. We included 928 patients aged ≥80 years with severe symptomatic AS. Aortic valve replacement (AVR), transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or conservative therapy. All-cause death. Mean age was 84.2±3.5 years, and only 49.0% were independent (Katz index A). The most frequent planned management was conservative therapy in 423 (46%) patients, followed by TAVI in 261 (28%), and AVR in 244 (26%). The main reason against recommending AVR in 684 patients was high surgical risk (322 [47.1%]), other medical motives (193 [28.2%]), patient refusal (134 [19.6%]), and family refusal in the case of incompetent patients (35 [5.1%]). The mean time from treatment decision to AVR was 4.8±4.6 months and to TAVI 2.1±3.2 months, p<0.001. During follow-up (11.2 to 38.9 months), 357 patients (38.5%) died. Survival rates at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months were 81.8%, 72.6%, 64.1%, and 57.3%, respectively. Planned intervention, adjusted for multiple propensity score, was associated with lower mortality when compared with planned conservative treatment: TAVI Hazard ratio (HR) 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49 to 0.93; p=0.016), AVR HR 0.56 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.8; p=0.002). Octogenarians with symptomatic severe AS are frequently managed conservatively. Planned conservative management is associated with a poor prognosis. This article is protected by copyright.

Article: Rationale and Design of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Multicenter Trial to Study Efficacy, Security, and Long Term Effects of Intermittent Repeated Levosimendan Administration in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure: LAICA study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Advanced heart failure (HF) is associated with high morbidity and mortality; it represents a major burden for the health system. Episodes of acute decompensation requiring frequent and prolonged hospitalizations account for most HF-related expenditure. Inotropic drugs are frequently used during hospitalization, but rarely in out-patients. The LAICA clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of monthly levosimendan infusion in patients with advanced HF to reduce the incidence of hospital admissions for acute HF decompensation. Methods The LAICA study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial. It aims to recruit 213 out-patients, randomized to receive either a 24-h infusion of levosimendan at 0.1 μg/kg/min dose, without a loading dose, every 30 days, or placebo. Results The main objective is to assess the incidence of admission for acute HF worsening during 12 months. Secondarily, the trial will assess the effect of intermittent levosimendan on other variables, including the time in days from randomization to first admission for acute HF worsening, mortality and serious adverse events. Conclusions The LAICA trial results could allow confirmation of the usefulness of intermittent levosimendan infusion in reducing the rate of hospitalization for HF worsening in advanced HF outpatients.Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy 12/2013; 27(6).

ABSTRACT: This article is a joint document of the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, the Spanish Society of Palliative Care and the Section of Geriatric Cardiology of the Spanish Society of Cardiology. Its aim is to address the huge gap that exists in Spain with regard to the management of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in the final stages of life. It is increasingly common to find patients carrying these devices that are in the terminal stage of an advanced disease. This occurs in patients with advanced heart disease and subsequent heart failure refractory to treatment but also in a patient with an ICD who develops cancer disease, organ failure or other neurodegenerative diseases with poor short-term prognosis. The vast majority of these patients are over 65, so the paper focuses particularly on the elderly who are in this situation, but the decision-making process is similar in younger patients with ICDs who are in the final phase of their life.Revista Clínica Española 10/2013; 214(1).

Article: Angioplastia coronaria en el infarto agudo de miocardio: ¿en qué pacientes es menos probable obtener una reperfusión coronaria adecuada?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction In patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty, the inability to achieve successful coronary reperfusion is associated with higher mortality. The objective of the study was to identify which characteristics may predict a lower angiographic success rate in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with coronary angioplasty. Patients and methods The study population is constituted by the 790 patients with acute myocardial infarction that were treated with angioplasty within the 12 hours after the onset of symptoms from 1991 to 1999 at our institution. A successful angiographic result was considered in presence of a residual stenosis < 50% and a TIMI flow 2 or 3 after the procedure. Results A successful angiographic result and a final TIMI 3 flow were achieved in 736 (93.2%) and 652 (82.5%) patients, respectively. In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with angiographic failure than in those with angiographic successful result (48 vs. 10%; p < 0.01). Age under 65 (91 vs. 95%; p = 0.02), non smoking (90 vs. 96%; p < 0,01), previous infarction (87 vs. 94%; p < 0.01), angioplasty after failed thrombolysis (83 vs. 94%; p = 0.02), cardiogenic shock (80 vs. 95%; p < 0.01), undetermined location (67 vs. 93%; p < 0.01), non-inferior location (92 vs. 96%; p = 0.04), left bundle branch block (64 vs. 94%; p < 0.01), multivessel disease (91 vs. 95%; p = 0.02), left ventricular ejection fraction < 0.40 (89 vs. 97%; p < 0.01), no utilization of coronary stenting (90 vs. 96%; p < 0.01), and use of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation pump (82 vs. 95%; p < 0.01) were associated with a lower angiographic success rate. In the multivariable analysis, the following were independent predictors for angiographic failure: left bundle branch block (odds ratio [OR], 12.95; CI 95%, 3.00-53.90), cardiogenic shock (OR, 4.20; CI 95%, 1.95-8.75), no utilization of coronary stent (OR, 3.44; CI 95%, 1.71-7.37), and previous infarction (OR, 2.82; CI 95%, 1.29-5.90). Conclusion Coronary angioplasty allows a successful coronary recanalization in most patients with acute myocardial infarction. Some basic characteristics, however, may identify some subsets in which a successful angiographic result may be more difficult to obtain.Revista Espa de Cardiologia 07/2013; 53(9):1169–1176.

Article: New-onset atrial fibrillation and prognosis in nonagenarians after acute myocardial infarction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The influence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) on the long-term prognosis of nonagenarians who survive acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been demonstrated. Our aim was to study the association between new-onset AF and long-term prognosis of nonagenarians who survive AMI. From a total of 96 patients aged ≥89 years admitted during a 5-year period, 64 (67 %) were discharged alive and are the focus of this study. Mean age was 91.0 ± 2.0 years, and 39 patients (61 %) were women. During admission, 9 patients (14 %) presented new-onset AF, 51 (80 %) did not present AF, and 4 (6 %) had chronic AF. During follow-up (mean 2.3 ± 2.6 years; 6.6 ± 3.6 years in survivors), 58 patients (91 %) died, including the 9 patients with new-onset AF. Cumulative survival at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months was 68.3 %, 57.2 %, 49.2 %, 47.6 %, and 31.8 %, respectively. The only two independent predictors of mortality in the multivariate analysis were age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.14; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.28; p = 0.04) and new-onset AF (HR 2.3; 95 % CI 1.1-4.8; p = 0.02). New-onset AF is a marker of poor prognosis in nonagenarians who survive AMI.Netherlands heart journal: monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation 07/2013; 21(11).

text: Mobile Apple could trounce Samsung in today's court hearing, says lawyer December 6, 2012 9:12 AM Ricardo Bilton 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Today's a big day for the Apple vs. Samsung trial. Initially planned for Sept. 20, today's hearing will address some pretty big issues for the ongoing patent feud between the two companies. And right now things don't look too great for Samsung. That is, according to Christopher Carani, a Chicago-based design patent lawyer who says that Apple is likely to come out on top in most of the major issues. The big one is this: Will Judge Lucy Koh accept Apple's request for a sales ban on Samsung's phones? Carani, like most people, thinks that she will, though he's not sure how Apple's recent settlement with HTC will change the equation. Winner: Apple. Another key question is whether Judge Koh will make Samsung shell out more cash because the jury found that the company willfully infringed on Apple's patents. While Apple was awarded $1 billion, Carani doesn't see the company getting much more than that. Winner: Samsung. (That said, Carani also says that its very likely that Judge Koh will make Samsung pay out a bit more in-so called post judgement interest. Winner: Apple.) One of Apple's big upsets came when the jury rejected its claim that Samsung's Galaxy Tab infringed on Apple's design patents. The good news for Apple, however, is that Carani thinks its likely Judge Koh will overturn that finding. Winner: Apple. And then there are the juror misconduct charges against Velvin Hogan, the jury forman who filed for bankruptcy nearly twenty years ago and was sued by Segate, his former employeer. According to Samsung's lawyers, Samsung's strategic relationship with Segate might have altered Hogan's views on the case — which is why Samsung wants a new trial. Will its lawyers get it? Carani doesn't think so. Winner: Apple. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

I feel most alive in the natural world but also thrive in the dynamic buzz of the city with all its curious human nature. I love to grow and cook and share delicious whole and healthy foods and cherish the simple delicacies. I love to walk through all sorts of landscapes and notice the small things that make all the difference. I love to dance; and though mostly solo, I find it so fun to move creativeIy with others. I value so much that we get to be part of the sensuous beauty of this planet and look forward to sharing delicious moments with you!
