Commencement ~ Class of 2015
May 16, 2015
Father Dennis, thank you for your wonderful address and for being such an outstanding role model for our graduates. At DePaul, the largest Catholic University in the nation, the Vincentian spirit of excellence, inclusiveness, and service is a living legacy that impacts the world through students and alumni determined to make a difference. Thank you for demonstrating through your excellent leadership that enduring ideals can indeed transform lives—one's own live, as well as the lives of others. We at Marywood trace our own founding values and principles back through many generations of education and service. Thank you for being here with us today, and for being a servant-leader in the truest sense of the term. We'd like to show our appreciation for your inspiring words with another round of applause.
And now, I would like to address a few thoughts directly to our graduates.
Dear graduates, at Marywood University, we have endeavored to educate, inspire, and challenge you, so that the reality of who you've become is built on the three pillars of our motto—Sanctitas, Scientia, Sanitas—Holiness, Knowledge, and Health. Your experiences have been transformed by the knowledge you have pursued and gained; by the people you have met—many of whom, I am certain, are now your lifelong friends; by the goals you have set and achieved; by the encouragement of family, friends, and faculty; and by other life events and decisions that have somehow influenced, inspired, and guided you to this day.
As you commemorate this important occasion, reflect on those who have supported you, loved you, and generously built you up throughout your years of study. Some of them are here with you. Some of them are only here in spirit. Let us take a moment to give thanks for all the family members, faculty, staff, friends and classmates who have been part of your journey to this significant moment of endings and beginnings.
As you know, we are in the midst of celebrating a special, milestone year. One hundred years of spirited leadership and bold vision have set the course for Marywood's second century of education and service. The Class of 2015 has built on that legacy of progress with its many significant accomplishments.
I want to encourage you to always nurture your love of learning, but, most especially, your creative spirit. You don't have to be an artist or musician to be creative. Any person educated in the liberal arts tradition can and should draw from the well of imagination inherent within. Every profession needs creative, vibrant people who can see past problems to imagine solution-oriented possibilities.
From the scientist to the social worker, this world needs professionals with intellects fired by imagination, theories informed by research, and practitioners guided by compassionate hearts. All of you here are remarkably gifted. You have enjoyed success in completing your studies, and I am certain that your future goals raise the bar of excellence even higher.
You leave here today, not just with a diploma, but with a true education that will serve you well throughout life. You have learned to think, act, serve, and lead beyond yourself. Your Marywood education has given you that vital framework to experience and demonstrate the kind of head and heart leadership that this world needs so deeply.
One of the greatest minds of the 20th century—and, arguably, of all time—understood this crucial mind/heart connection. Albert Einstein, the genius of physics, was also Albert Einstein, the genius of imagination. I have long admired Einstein for his simple, seamless way of demonstrating the essential connection of the keen mind, the imaginative spirit, and the compassionate heart.
So, as we celebrate this momentous day and look ahead to an exciting future, I offer you a Top Ten List of advice on living and learning, straight from the wisdom and words of Albert Einstein:
10. We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
9. Information is not knowledge.
8. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
7. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
6. Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
5. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
4. The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
3. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.
2. Never lose a holy curiosity.
1. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Congratulations, and may God bless all of you abundantly—keep that "holy curiosity" alive in all of your present and future endeavors!

Sunday Roundup (2/23)
Sunday's action saw Cal Poly get a pivotal series-clinching win in the rubber game over UCLA 9-1. The victory was huge for the Mustangs, who dropped the first game on Friday only to show a lot of character and bounce back with two straight wins on the road to take the series. Offensively Nick Torres and Brian Mundell continued to be the story as the duo combined for five hits and five RBI on the day. Mundell homered in all three games of the series and raised his average to a red-hot .455 on the season. Continue reading Sunday Roundup (2/23)
Saturday Roundup (2/22)

Michigan State has been very impressive thus far in 2014, taking the first two games against the PAC 12 this weekend to improve to 4-1 overall and a chance to go 3-0 in the challenge if they can beat Washington on Sunday. Next weekend they will have another opportunity to pick up some quality wins as they face Mississippi State twice in the Diamond Classic in Starkville. Continue reading Saturday Roundup (2/22)

Finish: Regionals (4th place, Bloomington)
2013 was a season of frustration and disappointment for a team coming off back to back to back College World Series appearances. Injuries decimated the Gators, and many even questioned whether they belonged in a regional after finishing one game over .500 heading into postseason play. After a quick 0-2 exit in Bloomington, the answer was, well, probably not. Continue reading 2014 CBD Season Preview: SEC

PITTSBURGH -- It's always Jared this. And Sully that.
Wouldn't you get tired of hearing that if you, too, were Jared Sullinger's teammates at Ohio State?
Yes, he's a big man, a powerful player, and a name that has become synonymous with the Buckeyes program, a beneficiary of the college basketball hype machine.
You see the big guy, baby?
|East Regional
|Related links
|More college hoops coverage
|Regional coverage
But the other Buckeyes want to show that this is far more than just Sullinger's team. That's what the past three days have been for the second-seeded Buckeyes in the East Regional of the NCAA tournament: Showing they are far more than just a one-man band.
To be blunt about it, the lead act didn't play a big part as the rest of the gang picked up the slack Saturday to lead the Buckeyes to a tough 73-66 victory over seventh-seeded Gonzaga and advance to the Sweet 16.
"Everybody thought it was just him," Buckeyes forward Deshaun Thomas said. "Players like me stepped up. Sully is a big target. He's our man. He's our guy. It's hard to focus on one guy. I want to show them [we're more than one man]. And we did."
That's why this team is a legitimate contender to win it all.
Sullinger had 18 points, including two key baskets late, but was limited to 26 minutes because of foul trouble.
That put more into the hands of Thomas, a smooth 6-7 forward who was the star of the weekend, and Aaron Craft, the tenacious point guard with a baby face and red cheeks.
Thomas had 18 points to go with the career-high 31 he had in Thursday night's victory over Loyola, Md. He has a nice touch from the outside, can get to the basket and he's athletic. In fact, he might end up with better NBA chances than the slow-footed Sullinger, who doesn't exactly jump out of the gym. Crazy? Don't laugh.
As for Craft, he's the tough-minded point guard who defends as well as any college player in the country. But against Gonzaga, he was much more than that. He was the tempo setter.
Craft finished with his first double-double, getting 17 points and 10 assists. It was his ability to beat the Gonzaga guards off the dribble that forced the Bulldogs to switch to a zone, something they rarely do.
"He's the heart and soul of this team," Thomas said of Craft.
It was Craft's matchup with Gonzaga freshman guard Kevin Pangos that set the tempo for the game. Pangos finished 3 for 13 with 10 points as Craft hounded him all night long.
"He's the guy who makes their team go and can score in a variety of ways," Craft said. "It was fun matchup. It's always great to go up against another great guard, and he's one of them."
Craft isn't the type of player to toot his own horn, but his coach didn't hold back.
"There is nobody better [playing defense] in college basketball," Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said.
The Buckeyes needed great defense down the stretch. After leading by 10 with 9:05 left, Gonzaga tied it at 61 with 4:03 left on a 3-point shot by Elias Harris. Gonzaga scored one more basket the rest of the way, that on a 3-point heave in the final seconds.
That's suffocating defense.
It helped that the lead actor took over his role, too. Sullinger made a tough shot to put the Buckeyes up 63-61, made another jumper to make it 66-61 and had two free throws after that.
After his jump shot went down, Gonzaga called timeout and Sullinger raced to the other end where he flexed and posed and screamed to the crowd.
"He's a great player, maybe the best in the country," Buckeyes guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. said about Sullinger. "Some of the stuff he does overshadows maybe the minor things we do. At the end of the day, we're all chipping in to make sure we win the game. People that know basketball know that t takes five guys. We kind of don't get into that stuff."
I pointed over to Thomas, sitting across from him.
"He did," I told him.
"DeShaun's DeShaun," Smith said. "I'm not sure what DeShaun says or what he had to say about it. I know, for me, we're lucky to have him."
They sure are, but if this team is going to win a title, it's the supporting cast that will make it happen.
Jared who? Isn't he some guy that makes sub commercials?

Trolley may never link to Lindbergh Field
Passengers wonder, 'Is there a reason for not doing this?'
Passengers at the Washington Street Trolley Station can watch jets land just yards away at Lindbergh Field.
But despite this proximity, they can't get a train ride to the airport.
This missing link has frustrated and bewildered San Diegans for decades, and required them to either drive or take a shuttle, bus or taxi to the airport.
Even with frequent questions — San Diego politicians say it's one of the most common topics they're asked about — and a nearly $2 billion plan to expand the Trolley to La Jolla, there are no near-term plans to connect rail directly to the airport in the nation's eighth largest city.
Should the San Diego Trolley go to the airport?
Yes 96% (3503)
No 4% (157)
3660 total votes.
Five of the nation's 15 biggest cities — New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Francisco — have rail-to-airport connections. A sixth, Dallas, plans to open such a link later this year.
In recent years, several smaller cities have built rail lines to their airports, including Portland, Seattle, Newark, Miami and Minneapolis.
Yet in San Diego, transit leaders say squeezing a Trolley line down congested Harbor Drive, right up to the airport terminals, has never been an easy sell.
Such a plan was discussed in the early 1980s but low ridership estimates, logistic challenges and worries about blocking harbor views prevented it from moving forward. It was estimated to cost up to $72 million.
Officials said an airport link never resurfaced as an idea in planning the 11-mile Mid-Coast project that's expected to extend the trolley from Old Town to La Jolla and University City by 2018. Such an addition would balloon costs and make securing grants more difficult, they said.
Today, there are short and long-term plans that could make transit to the airport easier. One even calls for building San Diego's 'Grand Central Station' on the north side of the airport, where trolleys, buses, Amtrak, Coaster and even bullet trains could connect with a relocated Terminal 1 — perhaps decades from now.
'Romantic idea'
There are no plans, near or long-term, that call for building a trolley spur to the existing terminals. For good reason, some say.
"I think that we've fallen in love with the trolley and I'm very happy with that," said San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, a longtime transit advocate. "But I think there are other things more effective than the trolley for what we're talking about. … It's a romantic idea that is best solved in a series of other steps."
In interviews this week, other key leaders, from San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer to City Council President Todd Gloria, expressed support for improving transit connections to Lindbergh. But they stopped short of saying that the trolley should run down Harbor right to the terminals.
They lack the urgency of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who in his recent state of the city address said, "We are going to bring rail to LAX and we will settle for nothing less."
Gloria said there's momentum in San Diego to expand the region's rail and bus networks, but not necessarily enough to build a difficult, direct connection to the airport right now.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 11/9/12
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There's only seven games left in the Packers' season, and yet, somehow, they've only played one divisional opponent. That one game was nearly two months ago, when Green Bay hosted Chicago and gave the Bears their only loss of the season through nine weeks. Since then, the Packers have matched up against a random assortment of AFC and NFC teams, with varying degrees of success. But once Green Bay returns from its bye week, the team will start to catch up from all that time spent outside the division. Five of the Packers' remaining seven games are against the NFC North, beginning with a road trip to face the Detroit Lions. Three weeks after that, the Lions will travel to Lambeau Field for a rematch. That's how the end of the season is going to be for coach Mike McCarthy and his players. "We've never played this many division games in this period of time," McCarthy said Monday. "It's a first." The last time Green Bay lost a divisional game was in Detroit on Dec. 12, ...

Ohh...and I must officially be a mom because we started looking into buying a minivan today and I can't think of another vehicle that will meet my needs better....
oh...19 days of work left.....maybe we can get together next month and you and Caroline can celebrate with us lol
I am sure there are other discussions of this elsewhere on MDC, but I haven't found much yet, thought I'd ask here:
Anyone else avoiding "made in china" products? With all the recalls lately, DH have decided to not buy any, and are finding it pretty hard!
We started out doing all organic clothes for Quinn, but it got too expensive, so now we are doing all cotton or wool, and just now starting to avoid China.
If anyone else is doing this also, any good places that have little to no made in china products?
The toys are easy I think, as there are a good number of European countries making good natural toys, but where are you finding baby clothes not made in China?
I walked into Gymboree today and could not find a single item not made in china!
I want to go back to organic, but I don't want to spend is college fund on organic clothes!
We honestly do buy all organic. There are a few non-organic things that were not bought by us, but I don't put them on him very often with the exception of a tiedyed dress (he wears 'girl' and 'boy' clothes). We pay the big bucks for lapsaky, hanna andersson (ebay ) and happygreenbee--china, but fair trade. He doesn't have very much clothes but since we do laundry daily anyway, we only need 3 outfits but have a few more than that for fun's sake. The companies I mentioned make clothes that fit for a while. We've bought from kate quinn but the clothes don't fit as many sizes. We also buy t-shirts in 18 months. They're big, but not rediculously so.
If anyone else is doing this also, any good places that have little to no made in china products?
We thought about just getting a little and washing a lot, but there are many reasons I don't want to do that much laundry, plus we want the clothes to last a long time (we want 4-5 kids and want to reuse clothes as much as possible) so I'd be worried about the clothes holding up with that much washing! I did look at the happygreenbee and liked the stuff, but $50 an outfit! Yikes! We have some Kate Quinn, but agree about the sizing issue, and also I find her material to stretch out awkwardly. My favorite stuff is Maggie's, but she only has a few short sleeved onesies, I wish she'd do more!

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 1/21/13
January has been a good month for former Louisville forward Earl Clark, who is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Clark has played almost more minutes this month with the Lakers than in his first three seasons in the league. Clark was given an opportunity to more extended minutes for LA in the last couple of weeks due to numerous injuries. The man formally known as E5 has more than taken advantage of the opportunity. Clark is averaging 9.8 points and 8.9 rebounds in the month of January. Despite the return of four time NBA All Star Pua Gasol, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni has named Clark the starter. Gasol started in Los Angeles' Sunday night loss to the Toronto Raptors, but it was Clark who came off the bench scoring 14 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.

The Washington Nationals are 40-53 and in their usual spot at the bottom of the National League East standings and by all accounts should be selling off pieces at the trade deadline. However, according to CSNwashington.com's Mark Zuckerman , the store is not only not open, the lights are off.
"He's not the one initiating any of the talks," Zimmerman quotes a source "familiar with [Mike] Rizzo's thinking."
The Nationals' biggest trade piece is slugger Adam Dunn, who is a free agent after this season. There have been on-again, off-again reports about a contract extension for Dunn, who is tied for second in the National League in homers (22) and third in OPS (.950). According to Zuckerman, Dunn is searching for a contract longer than three years at more than $15 million a year. The Nationals don't want to give Dunn a contract that long and risk him having 10-5 rights and the ability to kill any trade at the end of his contract.
If the Nationals don't offer Dunn such a contract, he'll test his worth on the free agent market. Dunn has drawn interest from the White Sox and Angels, among other teams.
With a very thin reliever market, the Nationals also have a relatively attractive trade piece in closer Matt Capps. Capps is arbitration-eligible after the season and the team has Drew Storen, their closer of the future, already in the big leagues and pitching well as a setup man.
The team's other trade candidate is outfielder Josh Willingham, who is hitting .277/.404/.490. He's on a one-year contract worth $4.6 million, but like Capps is arbitration eligible and under team control through next season.

Article: CrataBL, a lectin and Factor Xa inhibitor, plays a role in blood coagulation and impairs thrombus formation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Arterial thrombosis is an important complication of diabetes and cancer, being an important target for therapeutic intervention. Crataeva tapia bark lectin (CrataBL) has been previously shown to have hypoglycemiant effect and also to induce cancer cell apoptosis. It also showed inhibitory activity against Factor Xa (Kiapp=8.6 μm). In the present study, we evaluated the anti-thrombotic properties of CrataBL in arterial thrombosis model. CrataBL prolongs the activated partial thromboplastin time on human and mouse plasma, and it impairs the heparin-induced potentiation of antithrombin III and heparin-induced platelet activation in the presence of low-dose ADP. It is likely that the dense track of positive charge on CrataBL surface competes with the heparin ability to bind to antithrombin III and to stimulate platelets. In the photochemically induced thrombosis model in mice, in the groups treated with 1.25, 5.0, or 10 mg/kg CrataBL, prior to the thrombus induction, the time of total artery occlusion was prolonged by 33.38%, 65%, and 66.11%, respectively, relative to the time of the control group. In contrast to heparin, the bleeding time in CrataBL-treated mice was no longer than in the control. In conclusion, CrataBL was effective in blocking coagulation and arterial thrombus formation, without increasing bleeding time.Biological Chemistry 09/2014; 395(9):1027-1035.

Article: The Kallikrein Inhibitor from Bauhinia bauhinioides (BbKI) Shows Antithrombotic Properties in Venous and Arterial Thrombosis Models[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Bauhinia bauhinioides Kallikrein Inhibitor (BbKI) is a Kunitz-type serine peptidase inhibitor of plant origin that has been shown to impair the viability of some tumor cells and to feature a potent inhibitory activity against human and rat plasma kallikrein (Kiapp 2.4 nmol/L and 5.2 nmol/L, respectively). This inhibitory activity is possibly responsible for an effect on hemostasis by prolonging activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Because the association between cancer and thrombosis is well established, we evaluated the possible antithrombotic activity of this protein in venous and arterial thrombosis models. Vein thrombosis was studied in the vena cava ligature model in Wistar rats, and arterial thrombosis in the photochemical induced endothelium lesion model in the carotid artery of C57 black 6 mice. BbKI at a concentration of 2.0 mg/kg reduced the venous thrombus weight by 65% in treated rats in comparison to rats in the control group. The inhibitor prolonged the time for total artery occlusion in the carotid artery model mice indicating that this potent plasma kallikrein inhibitor prevented thrombosis.Thrombosis Research 05/2014; 133(5).

Article: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials of New Anticoagulants for Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Major Orthopedic Surgeries, Compared With Enoxaparin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In the past 10 years, new anticoagulants (NACs) have been studied for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk/benefit profile of NACs versus enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis in major orthopedic surgery. METHODS: A systematic review of double-blind randomized phase III studies was performed. The search strategy was run from 2000 to 2011 in the main medical electronic databases in any language. Independent extraction of articles was performed by 2 authors using predefined data fields, including study quality indicators. RESULTS: Fifteen published clinical trials evaluating fondaparinux, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, and apixaban were included. Primary efficacy (any deep vein thrombosis [DVT], nonfatal pulmonary embolism, or all-cause mortality) favored fondaparinux (relative risk [RR] 0.50; 95% CI, 0.39, 0.63) and rivaroxaban (RR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.34, 0.73) over enoxaparin, although significant heterogeneity was observed in both series. The primary efficacy of dabigatran at 220 mg, apixaban, and bemiparin were similar, with RRs of 1.02 (95% CI, 0.86, 1.20), 0.63 (95% CI, 0.39, 1.01), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.65, 1.17), respectively. The primary efficacy of dabigatran at 150 mg (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.03, 1.41), was inferior to enoxaparin. The incidence of proximal DVT favored apixaban (RR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.27, 0.75) only. Rivaroxaban (RR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.27, 0,77) and apixaban (RR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.16, 0.90) produced significantly lower frequencies of symptomatic DVT. The incidence of major VTE favored rivaroxaban (RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.25, 0.81), only. Bleeding risk was similar for all NACs, except fondaparinux (RR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.04, 1.55), which exhibited a significantly higher any-bleeding risk compared with enoxaparin, and apixaban (RR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.79, 0.99), which was associated with a reduced risk of any bleeding. Alanine amino transferase was significantly lower with 220 mg of dabigatran, (RR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.79, 0.99) than with enoxaparin. CONCLUSIONS: NACs can be considered alternatives to conventional thromboprophylaxis regimens in patients undergoing elective major orthopedic surgery, depending on clinical characteristics and cost-effectiveness. The knowledge of some differences concerning efficacy or safety profile, pointed out in this systematic review, along with the respective limitations, may be useful in clinical practice.Annals of Vascular Surgery 01/2013; 27(3).

Article: Reversal of the anticoagulant and anti-hemostatic effect of low molecular weight heparin by direct prothrombin activation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Lopap, found in the bristles of Lonomia obliqua caterpillar, is the first exogenous prothrombin activator that shows serine protease-like activity, independent of prothrombinase components and unique lipocalin reported to interfere with hemostasis mechanisms. To assess the action of an exogenous prothrombin activator reversing the anticoagulant and antihemostatic effect induced by low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), male New Zealand rabbits (N = 20, weighing 3.8-4.0 kg) allocated to 4 groups were anticoagulated with 1800 IU/kg LMWH (iv) over 2 min, followed by iv administration of saline (SG) or recombinant Lopap (rLopap) at 1 µg/kg (LG1) or 10 µg/kg (LG10), 10 min after the injection of LMWH, in a blind manner. Control animals (CG) were treated only with saline. The action of rLopap was assessed in terms of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin fragment F1+2, fibrinogen, and ear puncture bleeding time (BT) at 5, 10, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 60, and 90 min after initiation of LMWH infusion. LG10 animals showed a decrease of aPTT in more than 50% and BT near to normal baseline. The level of prothrombin fragment F1+2 measured by ELISA had a 6-fold increase with rLopap treatment (10 µg/kg) and was inversely proportional to BT in LMWH-treated animals. Thus, Lopap, obtained in recombinant form using E. coli expression system, was useful in antagonizing the effect of LMWH through direct prothrombin activation, which can be a possible strategy for the reversal of bleeding and anticoagulant events.Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas / Sociedade Brasileira de Biofisica ...

Article: Effects of compounds from Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa juice on blood coagulation and on proteolytic enzymes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa) is popularly known for its sedative and calming properties and is consumed as a fresh fruit or as a juice. The clinical observation of blood incoagulability associated with excessive consumption of passion fruit juice, in a patient treated with warfarin, prompted the current study to investigate in vitro the presence of blood clotting inhibitors in Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa extract. After purification process, two compounds of distinct molecular weight and inhibitory action were better characterized. One is a trypsin inhibitor similar to inhibitors from Bowman-Birk family, named PeTI-I12, and other is a compound active in coagulation that prolongs aPTT and PT, but does not change TT. The aim of this study is to provide evidence that passion fruit extract's components play a role on hemostasis and therefore may be relevant in the handling of patients treated with anticoagulants or suffering hemorrhagic diseases.Protein and Peptide Letters 05/2012; 19(5):501-8.

Article: Prevalence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in superficial thrombophlebitis of the lower limbs: prospective study of 60 cases.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Superficial thrombophlebitis (ST) ascending the lower limbs is a common disease, which may be associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of DVT and PE as complications of ascending ST of the lower limbs in the great saphenous vein (GSV) or SSV (SSV) and probable risk factors. For this study 60 consecutive patients were enrolled with ascending ST of the GSV or SSV, seen between 2000 and 2003 at a public hospital in Botucatu, SP, Brazil. All patients were assessed clinically, by venous Duplex scanning of the lower limbs to confirm ST and test for DVT, and by means of pulmonary scintigraphy to test for PE. In 13 ST cases (21.67%) there was concomitant DVT and 17 ST patients (28.33%) also had PE. Eleven patients had a clinical status suggestive of DVT, but only in eight of these (61.5%), this clinical diagnosis was confirmed. Fourteen patients had a clinical status suggestive of PE, and this diagnosis was confirmed in six cases (35.30%). ST patients who also had DVT and/or PE were given anticoagulant treatment with heparin and warfarin. None of the variables studied was predictive of DVT or PE (P>0.05). However, the presence of varicose veins reduced the risk of patients having DVT (relative risk=9.09; 95%CI:1.75 - 50.00 and P=0.023). The prevalence rates of PE (28.3%) and DVT (21.6%) were elevated in this sample of ascending ST cases, indicating a need for detailed assessment of patients for signs of these complications, including for therapeutic management decision making.International angiology: a journal of the International Union of Angiology 10/2009; 28(5):400-8. · 1.01 Impact Factor
Article: [Effect of the implementation of a guideline for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in surgical patients].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Effective strategies for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are widely available, but still remain underused, mainly in our country. Our aim was to verify whether the implementation of a guideline for VTE prophylaxis for surgical patients influenced the prescription of prophylaxis by the medical staff. This was a retrospective preintervention-postintervention study. Charts of 150 patients before guideline implementation (BGI) and 150 after (AGI) were randomized among all patients admitted during one year in each period. Inclusion criteria: >40 years-old, major abdominal or orthopedic surgeries. Exclusion criteria: Incomplete files and use of anticoagulants for any reason at admission. Data registered: demographic data, reference to VTE risk factors, VTE prophylaxis prescription, diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism during hospitalization. Results. The two groups, BGI and AGI were similar for demographic data and duration of prophylaxis (5.6 x 6.6 days). Frequency of prophylaxis in percentages was BGI x AGI respectively, before surgery: pharmacologic prophylaxis (PP), 6 x 9; graduated compression stockings (GCS), 4 x 3; intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), 2 x 3. After surgery: PP, 53 x 53; GCS, 23 x 40 (P<0.05); IPC, 26 x 32. Including all patients, prophylaxis was prescribed for 60.5% BGI and 66.5% AGI, but was considered adequate only in 34% BGI and 32% AGI. Adoption of a guideline, although increasing concern about prophylaxis, expressed by greater use of GCS, only minimally improved quality of prophylaxis , indicating that other active and continuous interventions are necessary to enforce compliance.Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira 12/2008; 55(5):587-92.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed at assessing the accuracy of ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of recent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in an experimental study in dogs. Design: blinded and randomized experimental study. Twenty dogs were randomly divided in two groups: control group (CG) and thrombosis group (TG). US was performed in the pre- and postoperative period. Phlebography was performed immediately prior to the postoperative US. After the second US, a surgery was performed to detect whether thrombus was present or not. US results were compared to those of phlebography and surgical findings. In all dogs, inferior vena cava (IVC) was compressible. The relations of IVC diameter with the aorta were higher (P<0.005) in TG than in CG. Spectral Doppler in spontaneous breathing, tissue harmonic imaging, power Doppler and B flow showed sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 1. Phlebography presented sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 80% and accuracy of 85%, when compared to surgical finding. For the diagnosis of recent DVT in the experimental model used, venous compressibility proved to be inefficient. The ratio of IVC diameter to aorta, when increased, suggests thrombosis. The use of new US technological advances increases accuracy. Phlebography was less accurate than US.International angiology: a journal of the International Union of Angiology 12/2008; 27(6):466-74. · 1.01 Impact Factor

Article: Risk-assessment algorithm and recommendations for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in medical patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical patients is high, but risk assessment is rarely performed because there is not yet a good method to identify candidates for prophylaxis. To perform a systematic review about VTE risk factors (RFs) in hospitalized medical patients and generate recommendations (RECs) for prophylaxis that can be implemented into practice. A multidisciplinary group of experts from 12 Brazilian Medical Societies searched MEDLINE, Cochrane, and LILACS. Two experts independently classified the evidence for each RF by its scientific quality in a standardized manner. A risk-assessment algorithm was created based on the results of the review. Several VTE RFs have enough evidence to support RECs for prophylaxis in hospitalized medical patients (eg, increasing age, heart failure, and stroke). Other factors are considered adjuncts of risk (eg, varices, obesity, and infections). According to the algorithm, hospitalized medical patients > or =40 years-old with decreased mobility, and > or =1 RFs should receive chemoprophylaxis with heparin, provided they don't have contraindications. High prophylactic doses of unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight-heparin must be administered and maintained for 6-14 days. A multidisciplinary group generated evidence-based RECs and an easy-to-use algorithm to facilitate VTE prophylaxis in medical patients.Vascular Health and Risk Management 07/2007; 3(4):533-53.

ABSTRACT: Background Diet composition is one of the factors that may contribute to intraindividual variability in the anticoagulant response to warfarin. Aim of the study To determine the associations between food pattern and anticoagulant response to warfarin in a group of Brazilian patients with vascular disease. Methods Recent and usual food intakes were assessed in 115 patients receiving warfarin; and corresponding plasma phylloquinone (vitamin K1), serum triglyceride concentrations, prothrombin time (PT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR) were determined. A factor analysis was used to examine the association of specific foods and biochemical variables with anticoagulant data. Results Mean age was 59 ± 15 years. Inadequate anticoagulation, defined as values of INR 2 or 3, was found in 48% of the patients. Soybean oil and kidney beans were the primary food sources of phylloquinone intake. Factor analysis yielded four separate factors, explaining 56.4% of the total variance in the data set. The factor analysis revealed that intakes of kidney beans and soybean oil, 24-h recall of phylloquinone intake, PT and INR loaded significantly on factor 1. Triglycerides, PT, INR, plasma phylloquinone, and duration of anticoagulation therapy loaded on factor 3. Conclusions Fluctuations in phylloquinone intake, particularly from kidney beans, and plasma phylloquinone concentrations were associated with variation in measures of anticoagulation (PT and INR) in a Brazilian group of patients with vascular disease.European Journal of Nutrition 06/2007; 46(3):147-154.

Article: Cytokine gene variants and venous thrombotic risk in the BRATROS (BRAZILIAN THROMBOSIS STUDY)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Venous thrombosis (VT) and inflammation are two closely related entities. In the present investigation we assessed whether there is a relation between genetic modifiers of the inflammatory response and the risk of VT. 420 consecutive and unrelated patients with an objective diagnosis of deep VT and 420 matched controls were investigated. The frequencies of the following gene polymorphisms were determined in all subjects: TNF-alpha-308 G/A, LT-alpha+252 A/G, IL-6-174 G/C, IL1-ra 86 bp VNTR, IL-10-1082 A/G and CD-31 125 C/G. Overall odds ratio (OR) for VT related to TNF-alpha-308 G/A, LT-alpha+252 A/G, IL-6-174 G/C, A1 allele (4 bp repeat) of the IL1-ra 86 bp VNTR, IL-10-1082 A/G and CD-31 125 C/G were respectively: 1.0 (CI95: 0.8-1.5), 1.3 (CI95: 1.0-1.7), 1.1 (CI95: 0.9-1.5), 1.6 (CI95: 1-2.5), 1.2 (CI95: 0.8-1.7) and 0.8 (CI95: 0.6-1.1). A possible interaction between polymorphisms was observed only for the co-inheritance of the mutant alleles of the LT-alpha+252 A/G and IL-10-1082 G/A polymorphisms (OR=2; CI95: 1.1-3.8). The risk of VT conferred by factor V Leiden and FII G20210A was not substantially altered by co-inheritance with any of the cytokine gene polymorphisms. Cytokine gene polymorphisms here investigated did not significantly influence venous thrombotic risk.Thrombosis Research 02/2007; 120(2):221-9. DOI:10.1016/j.thromres.2006.09.015 · 2.43 Impact Factor

Article: Ximelagatran versus warfarin for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in major orthopedic surgery: systematic review of randomized controlled trials.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ximelagatran has been recently studied for prophylaxis in surgical orthopedic cases. We proposed to establish whether interventions involving ximelagatran, as compared with warfarin, would increase thromboembolic prophylaxis in patients undergoing major orthopedic knee surgery. Studies with random assignment were identified by an electronic search of the medical literature up to 2006. Data were double-entered into the Review Manager software, version 4.2.5. We included three well-conducted clinical trials involving 4,914 participants. Sub-groups with two dosages of ximelagatran (24 mg and 36 mg, b.i.d.), were defined. Ximelagatran showed significantly lower frequency of total venous thromboembolism (VTE) than warfarin, but only with the 36-mg dosage (risk relative, RR: 0.72; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.64-0.81; p < 0.00001). For the 24-mg subgroup, total VTE frequency was similar (RR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.73-1.01; p = 0.06). No significant differences were shown with either ximelagatran dosage for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, any bleeding or severe bleeding. At the end of the treatment, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation was less frequent in the 24-mg ximelagatran sub-group (RR: 0.33; 95% CI: 0.12-0.91; p = 0.03], but during the follow-up period, the ALT elevation rate was greater in the 36-mg ximelagatran group (RR: 6.97; 95% CI: 1.26-38.50; p = 0.03]. Ximelagatran appears to be more effective than warfarin when used in higher dosages (36 mg b.i.d.), but at the expense of increased frequency of ALT elevation during the follow-up period.Sao Paulo Medical Journal 11/2006; 124(6):355-61.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the role of cervical sympathectomy in the prevention of acute vasospasm induced by meningeal haemorrhage in rabbits. Sixteen adult English Norfolk rabbits were divided into 2 experimental groups: bilateral cervical sympathectomy of the superior sympathetic ganglion (SSSG, n=8), and bilateral SSSG and sympathectomy of the inferior sympathetic ganglion (SISG, n=8). Other 24 animals were used as controls. Basilar artery diameter was evaluated by angiography. SSSG protected the animals against developing cerebral vasospasm; SSSG associated with SISG did not increase this effect.Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria 10/2006; 64(3A):572-4.

Article: Complications of anticoagulant therapy with warfarin in patients with peripheral vascular disease: a cohort prospective study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To prospectively study the frequency of complications in patients treated with warfarin followed at Botucatu Medical School. METHODS: Patients randomly selected among those with appointments scheduled from June 2002 to February 2004. At the first appointment, a protocol was filled with identification and clinical data. At every return or when the patient went to the hospital due to clinical events, another form was filled with the international normalized ratio, existence and type of clinical event and the conditions of use of vitamin K antagonists. RESULTS: A total of 136 patients (61 men and 75 women), were followed; 99 patients with venous thromboembolism and 37 with arterial disease; 59 were from Botucatu and 77 were from other municipalities. Thirty clinical events were registered: nine of them were not related to the use of warfarin and 21 were hemorrhagic complications (38.8 per 100 patients-year). One hematemesis was considered severe (1.9 per 100 patients-year). The others were considered moderate or mild. There were no deaths, intracranial hemorrhage or cutaneous necrosis. The only significant association was frequency of hemorrhage and average international normalized ratio level. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate the feasibility of this treatment in vascular patients in our country, even in socially and economically poor populations, when treated in specialized clinics.Jornal Vascular Brasileiro 09/2006; 5(3):194-202.
Article: Incorrect use of thromboprophylaxis for venous thromboembolism in medical and surgical patients: results of a multicentric, observational and cross-sectional study in Brazil[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although effective strategies for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are widely available, a significant number of patients still develop VTE because appropriate thromboprophylaxis is not correctly prescribed. We conducted this study to estimate the risk profile for VTE and the employment of adequate thromboprophylaxis procedures in patients admitted to hospitals in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Four hospitals were included in this study. Data on risk factors for VTE and prescription of pharmacological and non-pharmacological thromboprophylaxis were collected from 1454 randomly chosen patients (589 surgical and 865 clinical). Case report forms were filled according to medical and nursing records. Physicians were unaware of the survey. Three risk assessment models were used: American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) Guidelines, Caprini score, and the International Union of Angiololy Consensus Statement (IUAS). The ACCP score classifies VTE risk in surgical patients and the others classify VTE risk in surgical and clinical patients. Contingency tables were built presenting the joined distribution of the risk score and the prescription of any pharmacological and non-pharmacological thromboprophylaxis (yes or no). According to the Caprini score, 29% of the patients with the highest risk for VTE were not prescribed any thromboprophylaxis. Considering the patients under moderate, high or highest risk who should be receiving prophylaxis, 37% and 29% were not prescribed thromboprophylaxis according to ACCP (surgical patients) and IUAS risk scores, respectively. In contrast, 27% and 42% of the patients at low risk of VTE, according to Caprini and IUAS scores, respectively, had thromboprophylaxis prescribed. Despite the existence of several guidelines, this study demonstrates that adequate thromboprophylaxis is not correctly prescribed: high-risk patients are under-treated and low-risk patients are over-treated. This condition must be changed to insure that patients receive adequate treatment for the prevention of thromboembolism.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 07/2006; 4(6):1266-70.

Article: Prophylaxis of deep-vein thrombosis after lower extremity amputation: comparison of low molecular weight heparin with unfractionated heparin.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare the efficacy and safety of a low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) with unfractionated heparin (UH) in this prophylaxis. Seventy five patients (59 men and 16 women), undergoing major lower extremity amputation (30 above-knee and 45 below-knee), were randomized to be treated with subcutaneous UH (5,000 IU t.i.d.) or enoxaparin (40 mg/day) during hospitalization. Prophylaxis was started 12 hours before surgery or, in emergency cases, in the first postoperative day. The two groups were comparable with regard to baseline characteristics. Evaluation of DVT was performed by daily clinical examination and by duplex scanning before and 5 to 8 days after surgery. DVT was documented in the operated limb in 9.75% in patients treated with enoxaparin and in 11.76% in patients treated with UH (p=0.92) and there was one bilateral thrombosis in each group . Bleeding complications were not observed in both groups. Enoxaparin and UH were both efficient and safe for the prophylaxis of DVT in patients submitted to lower extremity amputation.Acta Cirurgica Brasileira 01/2006; 21(3):184-6.

Selby's last game of a torrid season ended in another defeat at the hands of Maltby Main for them it was a victory which secured their premier status. But at least they were made to fight all the way for the spoils. Selby never laid down and had them sweating and scrapping for the full 90 minutes. But as we have witnessed all season it has been almost impossible to buy a goal let alone any points. It is a points haul which must be close to a club record low. So we must dust ourselves down and regroup in preparation for a difficult task of getting back to step 5. Congratulations to Glasshoughton who will be passing us and it has taken them five or six seasons to climb back up so the task will not be easy.Who knows what lies ahead in the coming weeks for Selby but i am sure that there will be no reprieve even though Division One Champions Handsworth will not be promoted subject to the appeal procedure. They have not managed to reach the required ground grading in time.
So after 15 seasons we say farewell to the Premier Division who knows when we will return but lets hope it is not too long. We would like to thank all our supporters for sticking with us and of course our many sponsors for showing faith with us we will keep you updated with any news throughout the close season

Product description
While enthusiasts of straw bales praise the exceptional energy efficiency of bale buildings, and the wise use of resources involved in utilizing an agricultural byproduct as an affordable construction material, the real reason straw bales have excited builders and homeowners nationwide goes beyond energy conservation, resource recycling, and affordability. People love straw bale homes because they are so often extraordinarily beautiful and inviting.In the past two decades, the bale-building renaissance has attracted some of our most gifted architects, artisan builders, and craftspeople. Certain qualities of straw as a material--and the hands-on process of constructing walls with a completely natural substance--have appealed to both very experienced builders and those who find this to be a uniquely accessible form of creating shelter. The characteristic thick walls and wide windowsills of straw bale houses, the possibility of incorporating curves and even arches, and the rousing experience of family "wall-raisings" have become well-known. Combined with older styles of plastering and earthen floors, these very contemporary buildings have a timeless quality that's easy to recognize yet hard to achieve with conventional manufactured materials.These are buildings with personality--plus!Athena and Bill Steen, co-authors of the original "Straw Bale House" book published by Chelsea Green in 1994, have now created a book that celebrates in gorgeous color photographs the tactile, sensuous beauty of straw bale dwellings. Their selection of photos also demonstrates how far bale building has come in a very short period of time: In addition to handsome homes, small and not-so-small, this book shows larger-scale institutional buildings, including schools, office buildings, the Solar Living Center, and a Save the Children center in Mexico.In addition, this book includes an introductory essay by the Steens noting the key lessons they have learned in years of building with bales: insights into the design and construction process, and critical advice about design elements that ameliorate the impacts of moisture, weather, and wear-and-tear over time. Each photograph is also accompanied by narrative text highlighting a given building's special features and personal touches.

File - Monday Nov. 25, 2013, a Pakistani child is vaccinated against polio by a health worker in Islamabad, Pakistan, Monday, Nov. 25, 2013. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)
LONDON: The spread of polio is an international public health emergency that could grow in coming months and ultimately unravel the nearly three-decade effort to eradicate the crippling disease, the World Health Organization said Monday.
The agency described the ongoing polio outbreaks in at least 10 countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as an "extraordinary event" requiring a coordinated international response.
"Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids," said Dr. Bruce Aylward, who leads WHO's polio efforts.
Polio usually strikes children under 5 and is most often spread via infected water. There is no specific treatment or cure, but several vaccines exist.
Experts are particularly concerned the virus is popping up in countries previously free of the disease, such as Syria, Somalia and Iraq – where civil war or unrest complicate efforts to contain the virus. That spread has occurred during what has traditionally been the low season of polio spread, leaving experts worried that cases could spike even further in the coming months.
Last week, WHO convened an emergency committee to decide whether the ongoing polio outbreaks merited the declaration of an international health emergency.
Monday's declaration means that numerous measures will be adopted, including a requirement for people from countries that are currently exporting cases to have a certificate of polio vaccination before being able to travel internationally. Those measures will be reviewed in three months, WHO said.
As of the end of April, there were 68 confirmed polio cases, compared with just 24 at the same time last year. In 2013, polio reappeared in Syria, sparking fears the civil unrest there could ignite wider outbreaks across the region. The virus has also been identified in the sewage system in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza though no cases have been reported.
In February, WHO found polio had also returned to Iraq. It is already circulating in eight other countries: Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Somalia and Kenya.
An independent monitoring board set up by WHO to assess progress in eradicating polio has described the problems as "unprecedented" and said the situation in Pakistan was "a powder keg." Dozens of Pakistani polio health workers have been killed in the last two years and the vast majority of new cases are in Pakistan.
Officials also fear that countries torn by conflict, such as Ukraine, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, are ripe for reinfection.
Some critics say it may even be time to pull the plug on polio eradication, since the deadline to wipe out the disease has already been missed several times.
The ongoing effort costs about $1 billion a year.
"For the past two years, problems have steadily, and now rapidly mounted," said Dr. Donald A. Henderson, who led WHO's initiative to get rid of smallpox, the only disease ever to have been eradicated.
"It is becoming apparent that there are too many problems [for the polio eradication effort] to overcome, however many resources are assigned," he said.
Aylward said WHO and its partners are not yet considering pushing back their latest deadline to eradicate polio by 2018.
Still, the independent board monitoring the progress being made on polio is not so convinced, and has called for the program to be completely overhauled.
"Few involved in [polio eradication] can give a clear account of how decisions are made," concluded a recent report by the group.
"If a billion dollar global business missed its major goal several times, it would be inconceivable that it would not revisit and revise its organizational and decision-making structure."
