During the third year of life, most toddlers gain about 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) and grow about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 centimeters).
They're extremely active and mobile, and learning in very physical ways. They're running around and exploring their world, and picking up new skills, like kicking a ball and riding a tricycle.
Your toddler's appetite may vary greatly now, which is common. It is also common for some toddlers to get stuck on one food. Food "jags" usually don't last long if you don't give in to them. To build healthy eating habits, keep serving a variety of nutritious foods and let your child decide which and how much of them to eat.
Although kids come in all shapes and sizes, a healthy toddler should continue to grow at a regular pace. The doctor will measure and weigh your child at routine checkups and plot the results on a growth chart. This lets the doctor track your child's growth over time and spot any trends that need attention.
Normal growth — supported by good nutrition, plenty of sleep, and regular exercise — is one of the best overall indicators of a child's good health. But your child's growth pattern is largely determined by genetics. Pushing kids to eat extra food or greater than recommended amounts of vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients will not increase their height.
Malnutrition severe enough to affect growth rate is uncommon today in the United States and other developed countries unless a child also has a related chronic illness or disorder.
Despite data collected for growth charts, "normal" heights and weights are difficult to define. Shorter parents, for instance, tend to have shorter kids, whereas taller parents tend to have taller kids.
Although you may worry if your child isn't as tall as his or her peers or weighs more, the more important question is whether your child is continuing to grow at a normal rate. If, for instance, your child's growth rate had been normal but has recently slowed, the doctor may track your child's measurements over a few months to see whether this is a possible health problem or just a variation of normal.
Most kids who are growing at or below the 5th percentile line on the growth chart are usually following one of these two normal variant growth patterns:
If your child is growing too slowly, your doctor might order tests to determine whether this is related to a medical or genetic condition that would interfere with growth.
Be sure to discuss any concerns you have about your child's growth or development with your doctor.

Gigaom was a blog-related media company started by Om Malik in San Francisco, California. It ceased operating March 9, 2015.[1] The blog offered news, analysis, and opinions on startups, emerging technologies, and other technology related topics. It is listed on CNET's Blog 100 list.[2]
After running his personal blog under the name for several years, Gigaom was founded as a company by Om Malik in 2006.[1] In June 2006, he left his day job to work on Gigaom full-time.[3] The site originally integrated a number of other technology-related blogs and services into its network. In 2011, Gigaom consolidated this network of blogs and rebranded all of them as separate topic channels on gigaom.com, with channels dedicated to technology news, Apple, cleantech, cloud, data, Europe, mobile, and video.[citation needed]
Since 2006, Gigaom has organized technology conferences under the banner Gigaom Events.[4][5] The events division now produces six events annually: Gigaom RoadMap, paidContent Live, Mobilize, and the Structure series (Structure, Structure:Data and Structure:Europe).[6]
In 2008, Malik appointed Paul Walborsky as CEO of the company[7] and in 2009, the company launched GigaOM Pro, a subscription-based technology research service.[8] Walborsky stepped down as CEO in September 2014.[9]
On February 8, 2012, Gigaom acquired PaidContent through the acquisition of ContentNext Media.[10]
On March 9, 2015, Gigaom ceased operations, with a brief note on the website stating that it was shutting down and "its assets are now controlled by the company's lenders." Malik stated that the publication was unable to pay its creditors in full.[1][4] At the time, it had 6.4 million monthly readers.[4]

Things I liked:Feels good in the hand. Not as loud as the one it replaced AND listed at 100fps faster. At 15 yards I hit 3 out of 5 spinners when I first pulled it out. First shot needed to figure out sights, next 3 hit then got overconfident. I am happy with the purchase so far.
Things I would have changed:just to put something .. more shots before reloading, pellets, though the number is standard.
Things I liked:This pistol is very accurate out to 7.5 yards - I cant miss - Any further and the pellets tend to spin off. I tried different weights of pellets but it didnt make much difference. For an airsoft , the velocity and energy is pretty good.
Things I would have changed:Add adjustable hop-up
What others should know:Lots of fun to shoot !
Things I liked:Great pistol, almost cant tell it from the real thing.
Things I would have changed:Removable or adjustable sights.
What others should know:Steyr Pistols are excellent. If you shoot, try one out. Also you can visit Steyrclub dot com.

University of Rochester is a good fit for me because of its tradition in academic freedom and curiosity. I love the level of abstract theorizing that takes place in every department. It has really allowed me, originally an undecided student, not only to find my interests, but also to develop a strong worldview based on consistent ideas.
What did you do last Saturday night?
I threw a small party at my off-campus house for a group of close friends.
What is your dream job after graduating from the University of Rochester?
I don't have a set career path quite yet. However, it would be incredible to work for a top consulting firm, such as McKinsey & Co. or Boston Consulting Group.
If you could meet one celebrity on a tour, who would it be?
I would want to meet Emma Watson.
What is your favorite part of the UR campus to show on a tour?
I love the look on people's faces when they get to see the academic atmosphere of the Martin E. Messinger Periodical Reading Room.
What is your favorite off campus event and why?
I love attending Eastman concerts because it allows me to develop my interest in music.
Who is your favorite professor and why?
Professor Michael Rizzo has been a huge inspiration for me through the course of my undergraduate career because of his enthusiasm for teaching and also his intellectual curiosity.
What's been your favorite class? Why?
My favorite class at UR is definitely Principles of Economics because it provides students with a very interesting framework both for analyzing newspaper editorials and also for making everyday choices.
How would you describe the "typical Rochester student?"
I would describe the typical Rochester student as being curious and multifaceted.

I am looking for some type of climbing vine, rose, etc... to use to climb up the wire of my outside dog kennel. Not only to camouflage it but to also make it pleasing to the eye and I wanted to make sure that whatever I use isn't poisonous as the dogs in the kennel may chew on it at one point. Does any one have any plant suggestions for me?
My suggestion is that this is a poor idea, period. Such a plant will provide a place for insects, and possibly stinging insects, snakes etc. to use as shelter as well. The dogs WILL eat it, regardless of whether it is toxic or not. There are nice screens that can go up on the outside of the fencing that will do what you need, or you can use fencing or trees away from the runs etc.
I have a beautiful vine of honeysuckle growing up the front's of my kennels.This honeysuckle is a highbred"pink"in color,it attracts hummingbirds and butterflys,its very hardy and very attractive,my dogs have not tore it up in 4 years so far.It also aids in a sun block for some parts of the kennel,I keep my water buckets right their where the vines are and it keeps the sun from heating the water.
I also knew a kennel owner who used trumpit vine on his kennels,and was as beautifull.
Don't laugh, but I planted 2 rows of corn along three sides of my kennel. The variant I used grows 6' (~2 m) tall and can be planted 6'' (~15 cm) apart. It grows quickly, provides excellent shade, acts as windbreak, and it's edible.
Thanks for the suggestions.
What "zone" are you in? Your location if not familiar with the growing zones? Is the area in full sun? (6 Hours or more of full sun). Is the location in a windy area? What type of soil are you dealing with? I may be able to sugest something after knowing this information.....
Hi MaxBear, I can't remember what growing zone I am in. I live in NW Montana. The soil has a lot of clay and rocks in it and the plants will be in the sun for about half the day. We usually don't get much wind. If you need to know anything else let me know.
Here is a web site listing all pet-safe plants.

CeBIT 2010: Career Benefits of Open Source
Dr. Dirk Riehle is the first official open source college professor in Germany. At the Open Source Forum at CeBIT, the former businessman described the new career model.
"It's hard for me not to look at the economic context of open source," said the newly installed open source professor almost apologetically at the beginning of his Open Source: a New Developer Career talk at CeBIT. The difference between the classic developer and his new counterpart writing software for an organization is the quintessential "to earn versus to be recognized."
Riehle suggested that developers in the open source world for the most part have to prove "peer certification" apart from the obligatory technical and social skills. This is reflected, for example, in the project community's acceptance and implicit acknowledgment of upstream contributions. Open source developers can further build their reputations partly through contributions to source code and also by documenting their efforts on mailing lists. This transparency also has an advantage: the developer has a much higher likelihood of finding effective collaborators.
Riehle was named Professor of Open Source at the Computer Science Institute of the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremburg, Germany in 2009. In the 10 years prior to his academic calling he was in banking IT and worked among other things in the SAP realm.

The Week In Photos
June 28 to July 4, 2015
New York--Philadelphia residents were invited to uncover jewelry prizes at a "bubble bath" in a jewelry store this week, while across the country another gem was uncovered--an 8.52-carat rough diamond at a state park in Arkansas.
In addition, after the Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage legal across the country, one jeweler didn't hesitate to craft an advertisement in support of the issue, and over in Zimbabwe, Rio Tinto announced that it is selling its stake in the Murowa diamond mine.

Cindy's TrendTracker: Rock crystal
New York--Rock crystal, also known as clear quartz, is a staple in jewelry design dating back centuries. It is a very common stone and yet it deserves to come back in vogue now and again because it offers such creative options for designers.
Right now, many designers are using it to give their pieces a great look at a relatively affordable price, as it really glams up when accented with a few diamonds set in gold. But it can also be casual when going solo or paired with silver.
Here are 11 styles that span the high/low spectrum and offer some clearly beautiful choices.Read more »
Platinum Spotlight: Featherstone Design
New York--There's two things in life Deidre Featherstone is not lacking: an assortment of beautiful gemstones, and a list of accolades relating to her jewelry design.
Based in New York's Tribeca neighborhood, Featherstone Design primarily offers one-of-a-kind and interchangeable jewelry made in platinum and 18-karat gold with gemstones of "exceptional quality." She's known for her use of rare stones, which has netted her a total of 10 American Gem Trade Association Spectrum Awards throughout her career.
She's also one of the Platinum Guild International's "Master American Platinumsmiths," sharing with National Jeweler that the metal "sits in the foreground and supports the show, extending the color of a jewel and the continuation of a diamond."
"The heat requires you to work almost blind, from memory," she said. "All you can see is the success indicated by an intense orange red line where a joint connects."Read more »
Gemstone Spotlight: Goshwara
New York--More and more, today's consumer is looking for pieces that are rare and unique. They want to know that their jewelry is exclusive to them.
This definitely has been true for Goshwara, the brand told National Jeweler at the recent Couture show, and that is why the brand is focusing a little more on creating jewels that speak to the consumer.
Even as the brand continues to add pieces to its production collections, such as Freedom, Beyond and Rock 'n Roll, designer Sweta Jain is building more on the G-One collection of one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces.
At the trade show, these newest additions were rich in greens, oranges and purples. The brand also debuted a limited edition collection of carved mother of pearl jewelry and though those pieces can be re-created, no two are exactly alike.Read more »

Article: A Randomized Study of CRT-D versus Dual-Chamber ICD in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy with Narrow QRS: The NARROW-CRT Study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: -Current recommendations require a QRS duration of ≥120ms as a condition for prescribing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). This study was designed to test the hypothesis that patients with heart failure (HF) of ischemic origin, current indications for defibrillator implantation and QRS <120ms may benefit from CRT in the presence of marked mechanical dyssynchrony. METHODS AND RESULTS: -Patients with intraventricular dyssynchrony on echocardiography were randomly assigned to CRT or dual-chamber defibrillator implantation (CRT-D and D-ICD arm, respectively). The primary endpoint was the HF clinical composite response, which scores patients as improved, unchanged, or worsened. The secondary endpoint was the cumulative survival from HF hospitalization and HF death. An additional secondary endpoint was the composite of HF hospitalization, HF death and spontaneous ventricular fibrillation. Twenty-three of 56 CRT-D patients showed an improvement in their clinical composite response at 1 year, compared with 9 of 55 D-ICD patients (41% versus 16%, p=0.004). After a median follow-up of 16 months, the CRT-D arm showed a non-significant higher survival from HF hospitalization and HF death (p=0.077), and a significantly higher survival from the combined endpoint of HF hospitalization, HF death and spontaneous ventricular fibrillation (p=0.028). CONCLUSIONS: -In this comparison of CRT-D and D-ICD, CRT improved clinical status in some patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, mild-to-moderate symptoms, narrow QRS duration, and mechanical dyssynchrony on echocardiography.

Article: A multicentre, randomized study of telmisartan versus carvedilol for prevention of atrial fibrillation recurrence in hypertensive patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Atrial remodelling, leading to atrial fibrillation (AF), is mediated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. METHODS: Mild hypertensive outpatients (systolic/diastolic blood pressure 140-159/90-99 mmHg) in sinus rhythm who had experienced ≥ 1 electrocardiogram (ECG)-documented AF episode in the previous six months received randomly telmisartan 80 mg/day or carvedilol 25 mg/day. Blood pressure and 24-hour ECG were monitored monthly for one year; patients were asked to report symptomatic AF episodes and to undergo an ECG as early as possible. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-two patients completed the study (telmisartan, n=70; carvedilol, n=62). Significantly fewer AF episodes were reported with telmisartan versus carvedilol (14.3% vs. 37.1%; p<0.003). Left atrial diameter, assessed by echocardiography, was similar with telmisartan and carvedilol (3.4±2.3 cm vs. 3.6±2.4 cm). At study end, both regimes significantly reduced mean left ventricular mass index, but the reduction obtained with telmisartan was significantly greater than with carvedilol (117.8±10.7 vs. 124.7±14.5; p<0.0001). Mean blood pressure values were not significantly different between the groups (telmisartan 154/97 to 123/75 mmHg; p<0.001; carvedilol 153/94 to 125/78 mmHg; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Telmisartan was significantly more effective than carvedilol in preventing recurrent AF episodes in hypertensive AF patients, despite a similar lowering of blood pressure.Journal of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System 04/2012; 13(4).

Article: Presence of left ventricular contractile reserve predicts midterm response to cardiac resynchronization therapy-results from the LOw dose DObutamine Stress-Echo Test in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (LODO-CRT) Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective in selected patients with heart failure (HF). Nevertheless, the nonresponder rate remains high. The low-dose dobutamine stress-echo (DSE) test detects the presence of left ventricular (LV) contractile reserve (LVCR) in HF patients of any etiology and may be useful in predicting response to resynchronization. The purpose of this study was to present the results of the LODO-CRT trial, which evaluated whether LVCR presence at baseline increases the chances of response to CRT. LODO-CRT is a multicenter prospective study that enrolled CRT candidates according to guidelines. LVCR presence was defined as an LV ejection fraction increase >5 units during DSE test. CRT response is assessed at 6-month follow-up as an LV end-systolic volume reduction ≥10%. Two hundred seventy-one patients were enrolled. The DSE test was feasible without complications in 99% of patients. Nine patients died from noncardiac disease, and 31 presented inadequate data. Two hundred thirty-one patients were included in the analysis. Mean patient age was 67 ± 10 years; 95% were in New York Heart Association class III, and 42% had HF of ischemic etiology. Mean QRS and LV ejection fraction were 147 ± 25 ms and 27% ± 6%, respectively. LVCR presence was found in 185 subjects (80%). At follow-up, 170 (74%) patients responded to CRT, 145/185 in the group with LVCR (78%) and 25/46 (54%) in the group without LVCR. Difference in responder proportion to CRT was 24% (P <.001). Reported test sensitivity is 85%. The DSE test in CRT candidates is safe and feasible. LVCR presence at baseline increases the chances of response to CRT.Heart rhythm: the official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society 11/2010; 7(11):1600-5. DOI:10.1016/j.hrthm.2010.07.036

ABSTRACT: Much information is available regarding the possible negative effects of long-term right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, which may cause worsening of heart failure. However, very limited data are available regarding the effects of RV pacing in patients with a previous myocardial infarction (MI). We screened 115 consecutive post-MI patients and matched a group of 29 pacemaker (PM) recipients with a group of 49 unpaced patients, for age, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, and site of MI. During a median follow-up of 54 months, echocardiograms showed a decrease in LV ejection fraction in the paced group, from 51 +/- 10 to 39 +/- 11 (P < 0.01), and a minimal change in the unpaced group, from 57 +/- 8 to 56 +/- 7 (P = 0.98). Similar change was observed in systolic and diastolic diameters and volumes. The study showed that, in post-MI patients, RV apical pacing was associated with a worsening of LV function, suggesting that, among MI survivors, the need for a PM is a marker of worse outcome.Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology 04/2009; 32 Suppl 1:S173-6.

Article: Efficacy of LOw-dose DObutamine Stress-Echocardiography to predict Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Response (LODO-CRT) multicenter prospective study - Design and rationale[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has a well-demonstrated therapeutic effect in selected patients with advanced heart failure on optimized drug therapy, nonresponder rate remains high. The LODO-CRT is designed to improve patient selection for CRT. Design and rationale of this study are presented herein. LODO-CRT is a multicenter prospective study, started in late 2006, that enrolls patients with conventional indications for CRT (symptomatic stable New York Heart Association class III-IV on optimized drug therapy, QRS > or =120 milliseconds, left ventricular [LV] dilatation, LV ejection fraction < or =35%). This study is designed to assess the predictive value of LV contractile reserve (LVCR), determined through dobutamine stress echocardiography (defined as an LV ejection fraction increase >5 units), in predicting CRT response during follow-up. Assessment of CRT effects will follow 2 sequential phases: in phase 1, CRT response end point is defined as LV end-systolic volume reduction > or =10% at 6 months; in phase 2, both LV end-systolic volume reduction and clinical status via a clinical composite score will be evaluated at 12 months follow-up. Predictive value of LVCR will be compared to other measures, such as LV dyssynchrony measures, through adjusted multivariable analysis. For the purpose of the study, target patient number is 270 (with 95% confidence, 80% power, alpha < or = .05). Enrollment should be complete by the end of 2008. The LODO-CRT trial is testing the hypothesis that LVCR assessment, using low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography test, should effectively predict positive response to CRT both in terms of the reverse remodeling process as well as favorable long-term clinical outcome. Moreover, the predictive value of LVCR will be compared to that of conventional intra-LV dyssynchrony measures.American heart journal 10/2008; 156(4):656-61. DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2008.06.011
Article: End-diastolic wall thickness as a predictor of reverse remodelling after cardiac resynchronization therapy: A two-dimensional echocardiographic study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether in patients with ischemic heart failure (HF) with mechanical dyssynchrony the echocardiographic assessment of the extent of scarred ventricular tissue by end-diastolic wall thickness (EDWT) could predict reverse remodeling (RR) after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Recent studies using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have shown that the burden of myocardial scar is an important factor influencing response to CRT, despite documented mechanical dyssynchrony. EDWT assessed by two-dimensional (2D) resting echocardiography is a simple and reliable marker to identify scar tissue in patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction. Seventy-four patients with ischemic HF were evaluated 1 week before and 6 months after CRT. Inclusion criteria were New York Heart Association class III or IV, ejection fraction < 35%, QRS duration > 120 ms, and mechanical intraventricular dyssynchrony >/= 65 ms. The left ventricle was divided into 16 segments; left ventricular (LV) segments with EDWT < 6 mm were considered scarred. Percentage global scar area (GSA) was calculated by dividing the number of scarred LV segments by 16. RR, defined as a reduction of LV end-systolic volume >/= 15%, was found in 38 patients (51.4%) with ischemic HF. A significant inverse linear relationship was found between GSA and RR (r = -0.57; P = .0001). Mean percentage GSA was significantly higher in nonresponders (31.6 +/- 18% vs 6.4 +/- 11%; P < .001). GSA </= 18% showed sensitivity and specificity of 94.7% and 77.8%, respectively (area under the curve, 0.86; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.95; P < .0001), to predict RR. The extent of ventricular segments with EDWT < 6 mm assessed by 2-D echocardiography is an important factor influencing response to CRT at follow-up. GSA may represent an essential simple adjunct to mechanical asynchrony to better select patients suitable for CRT.Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography: official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography 09/2008; 21(9):1055-61.

Article: A radial global dyssynchrony index as predictor of left ventricular reverse remodeling after cardiac resynchronization therapy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cardiac mechanical efficiency requires that opposing left ventricular regions are coupled both in shortening and lengthening during the same phase of cardiac cycle. Aim of this study was to evaluate whether global measures of mechanical dyssynchrony are able to predict reverse remodeling of the left ventricle in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Sixty-two patients underwent a clinical examination, including New York Heart Association class evaluation and 6-minute walking distance and both echocardiographic study before and 6 months after CRT. Intraventricular dyssynchrony was evaluated by two-dimensional strain echocardiography, measuring the amount of uncoordinated contraction and relaxation between septum and free wall for both longitudinal and radial function and was presented as the longitudinal global dyssynchrony index (LGDI) and the radial global dyssynchrony index (RGDI). Reverse remodeling was defined by a left ventricular end systolic volume reduction >or= 15%. After CRT 39 patients showed reverse remodeling. In this group, RGDI (0.74 +/- 0.26 vs 0.32 +/- 0.30; P = 0.0001) and LGDI (0.52 +/- 0.28 vs 0.30 +/- 0.24; P = 0.002) were significantly higher than in nonresponders. A receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that RGDI >0.47 and LGDI >0.34 had a sensitivity and a specificity to predict reverse remodeling of 87% and 74%, 82%, and 74%, respectively. Stepwise forward multiple logistic regression analysis showed that RGDI (O.R.:13.4; 95%C.I.:4.2-120.5; P < 0.0001) was an independent determinant of a positive response to CRT.

Article: Presence of left ventricular contractile reserve, evaluated by means of dobutamine stress-echo test, is able to predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We evaluated whether the dobutamine stress-echo test can select responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Up to 50% of patients do not respond to CRT. Lack of response may be due to a significant amount of scar or fibrotic tissue at myocardial level. We studied 42 CRT patients. After clinical and echocardiographic evaluation, all patients underwent a dobutamine stress-echo test to assess contractile reserve. Cut-off for the test was an increase of 25% of the left ventricular ejection fraction. Patients were implanted with a CRT-defibrillator and followed up at 6 months. Cut-off for CRT response was a reduction of 15% of left ventricular end-systolic volume. Twenty-five patients responded to CRT; all of them showed presence of contractile reserve. The test showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 88%. Contractile reserve was a strong predictive factor of response to CRT in the studied population.Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology 07/2008; 23(2):121-6. DOI:10.1007/s10840-008-9255-9
Article: [Anomalous origin of the circumflex artery from the right aortic sinus: assessment with conventional coronary angiography and multislice computed tomography].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is the most common coronary anomaly. This anomaly is thought to be of little clinical significance without the presence of severe narrowing of the vessel. A 43-year-old woman was referred to our institution for evaluation of atypical chest pain and equivocal results of the exercise stress test. We decided to perform multislice computed tomography coronary angiography before any other invasive studies. The scan was performed with a 16-row scanner (Aquilion 16 CFX, Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) after intravenous administration of non-ionic contrast material. Scans revealed that the circumflex coronary artery originated from the right sinus of Valsalva; the initial course was retro-aortic until it reached its target in the atrioventricular groove; peripheral distribution of the circumflex coronary artery was then normal. The anomalous vessel presented a significant stenosis in its proximal tract. Coronary angiography confirmed that the origin of the circumflex coronary artery was from the right aortic sinus and the significant stenosis of the proximal portion of this vessel. This case confirms the full capability and accuracy of multislice computed tomography with the aid of post-processing techniques in the identification and evaluation of the ectopic origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva, displaying accurately the origin, size, course, and relationship of the anomalous vessel with respect to surrounding structures.Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006) 07/2008; 9(6):421-4.
Article: Usefulness of multislice computed tomography to assess patency of coronary artery stents versus conventional coronary angiography.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to assess the in-stent restenosis and occlusion of coronary artery stents by multislice computed tomography (MSCT) compared with conventional coronary angiography in patients with atypical chest pain and not practicable/non-conclusive stress test. Between December 2004 and March 2006, 81 patients were scheduled and of these 72 (65 men, mean age 61 years) with 90 stents underwent MSCT angiography using a 16-slice scanner, Toshiba Aquilion 16, 8-12 months after stent placement. Of the 90 stents, 71 (79%) could be assessed and 19 (21%) were excluded because the image quality at the stent level was incompatible with diagnostic assessment. This results in sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for all assessable stents in the identification of occlusion and/or in-stent restenosis of 82, 96, 87, and 94%, respectively. When the 19 uninterpretable stents were included in the analysis, the diagnostic accuracy of MSCT in detecting in-stent restenosis and occlusion resulted in a sensitivity of 82%, specificity of 71%, positive predictive value of 40%, and negative predictive value of 94%. The results of the study suggest that MSCT angiography is a useful method for evaluating patency/occlusion of large (>or=3 mm) coronary stents in symptomatic patients with atypical chest pain and concomitant not practicable/non-conclusive exercise or stress imaging test.Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine 06/2008; 9(5):485-92.

Article: Factors predicting coronary flow reserve impairment in patients evaluated for chest pain: an ultrasound study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the impact of multiple cardiovascular risk factors on coronary flow reserve (CFR) in a large patient population with acute chest pain referred for coronary angiography. Three hundred and ninety-four consecutive patients (mean age 59 +/- 10 years) were enrolled in the study. Blood flow velocity was measured, using transthoracic echocardiography, in the middle-distal tract of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) at rest and during infusion of high-dose dipyridamole in 6 min. CFR was calculated as the ratio of hyperaemic to basal peak diastolic flow velocity. All patients underwent coronary angiography within 48-72 h of CFR evaluation and a LAD stenosis was considered significant for lumen diameter narrowing > or =70%. Out of 394 patients, 11 patients (3%) were excluded because of inadequate quality of the spectral Doppler envelope. In the group of 269 patients with LAD stenosis <70%, CFR was significantly reduced in 64 patients with >2 risk factors compared to 205 patients with < or =2 risk factors (2.24 +/- 0.48 vs. 2.52 +/- 0.53, P < 0.005). On multiple logistic regression analysis, age, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were related to reduced CFR. In 114 patients with significant LAD disease, CFR was not reduced in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. On multiple logistic regression analysis, the percentages of stenosis and diabetes mellitus were independent determinants of CFR. In patients with acute chest pain, the occurrence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors adversely affected CFR in an additive manner, in absence of significant angiographic stenosis. Diabetes mellitus was a powerful coronary risk factor decreasing CFR both in patients with or without significant LAD disease.Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine 04/2008; 9(3):251-5.

Article: Effect of Pacing the Right Ventricular Mid-Septum Tract in Patients with Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and Low Ejection Fraction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Permanent right ventricular (RV) pacing leads have been traditionally implanted in the right ventricular apex (RVA). Nowadays, some deleterious effects of RVA pacing have been recognized. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sites of RV pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and low ejection fraction (LEF) needing a pacemaker (PM) implantation. Two hundred seventy-three patients with permanent AF and EF <30% underwent a one-chamber rate responsive (VVIR) PM implant procedure. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A, including 113 patients with the pacing lead tip placed in the RV mid-septum, and Group B of 120 patients with the pacing lead tip placed at the apex of RV. All patients had clinical and Echo control after 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months after PM implantation to assess New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and EF. After 18 months, NYHA class changed in Group A from 2.9 +/- 0.4 at implant to 1.7 +/- 0.3 at 18 months (P = 0.01), and in Group B from 3.0 +/- 0.5 at implant to 3.3 +/- 0.6 at 18 months (P = n.s.). EF increased in Group A: 28 +/- 2% at implant, 33 +/- 1% at 18 months (P = 0.0125), while no significant changes were observed in Group B: at implant 27 +/- 2%, 26 +/- 2% at 18 months (P = n.s.). The present study suggests that more physiological pacing from the RV sept can improve EF and quality of life (QoL) in patients with permanent AF and low EF needing a PM.Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 09/2007; 18(10):1032-6.

Article: Is it possible to create a linear lesion with no local electrograms? Comparison between a three-dimensional mapping system and conventional fluoroscopy for cavotricuspid isthmus ablation of typical atrial flutter.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this prospective, randomised study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and long-term outcomes of the complete disappearance of local electrograms along the linear lesion using the EnSite NavX three-dimensional mapping system as compared with conventional fluoroscopy for ablation of typical atrial flutter (AFL). Seventy-three patients with spontaneous AFL episodes were randomised to undergo fluoroscopy-guided (group I, n=35) or EnSite NavX-guided (group II, n=38) ablation. When bidirectional isthmus block was achieved, the catheter was navigated back along the ablation line to assess the presence of local potentials along the lesion line. Bidirectional isthmus block was achieved in all patients. Mean total fluoroscopy time was 19.8 +/- 4.1 min in group I and 9.1 +/- 3.5 min in group II (P<0.001); mean fluoroscopy time required for radiofrequency ablation was 6.9 +/- 1.4 min in group I and 0.6 +/- 0.3 min in group II (P<0.001). During a follow-up of 16 +/- 9 months, three patients in group I (10%) experienced recurrence of AFL as opposed to none in group II (P<0.005). NavX technology allows accurate re-navigation of the lesion line to assess the presence of local potentials during an ablation procedure for typical AFL. Electroanatomic activation mapping can accurately identify gaps in the linear radiofrequency lesion with no AFL recurrence compared with 20% of recurrences after a standard procedure.Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine 06/2007; 8(6):414-8.

ABSTRACT: Incisional sustained tachycardias are frequent in patients who have undergone a surgical repair of interatrial defect. A 43-year-old woman with drug refractory, highly symptomatic, persistent atrial tachycardia in the last year, was referred to our unit for catheter ablation. The patient had undergone a cardiac operation for repairing interatrial secundum ostium type defect with a patch five years before. A previous radiofrequency ablation procedure had been performed for common atrial flutter. We describe a case of incisional atrial tachycardia ablation guided by the new EnSite NavX system equipped with a new electroanatomic mapping system.Indian pacing and electrophysiology journal 02/2007; 7(2):134-8.

ABSTRACT: A randomized prospective study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and long-term outcomes of the complete disappearance of local electrograms along the linear lesion using the EnSite NavX three-dimensional mapping system compared to the conventional fluoroscopy-based mapping for the ablation of typical atrial flutter (AFL). 83 patients with spontaneous AFL episodes were randomized to the conventional procedure (group I, 41 patients) or to the EnSite NavX three-dimensional mapping system (group II, 42 patients). When bidirectional block was achieved, a renavigation of the ablation line was performed to verify the absence of local potentials along the line. In all patients, bidirectional isthmus block was achieved. Total mean fluoroscopy time was 19.8 +/- 4.1 min and 9.1 +/- 3.5 min (p < 0.001) and radiofrequency (RF) mean fluoroscopy time was 6.9 +/- 1.4 min and 0.6 +/- 0.3 min (p < 0.001), respectively, in group I and II. During long-term follow-up of 16 +/- 9 months, there were 4 (10%) AFL recurrences in group I and 0 in group II (p < 0.005). NavX accurately renavigates the lesion line and verifies local potentials. The electro-anatomic activation map accurately identifies gaps in the RF lesion line and no recurrences were found compared with 10% recurrences after standard procedures for typical AFL.Cardiology 01/2007; 108(4):358-62.

Well worth the tariff, a lovely & historic hotel in an incredibly historic setting. Rooms are large, beds are good, two restaurants - the casual pub has vgood food in vlarge portions & the more elegant DR has outdoor dining. Both have rather off-hand service, but the food is more than adequate. The only way to access the West Point campus without taking a tour is to book at the Thayer Hotel. The West Point Museum is FANTASTIC - we spent over
4 hours there over 2 days & were delighted to see it full of curious visitors. We loved our two days here.

Canadian UNICEF Committee in Mozambique
Maputo, 2 May 2005 – In order to learn more about UNICEF supported activities for children in a programme country, volunteers and staff of the Canadian National Committee for UNICEF came to Mozambique for a 10-days-visit. "We confronted huge needs in the communities – be they child survival issues, educational priorities or the horrendous effects of HIV/AIDS – and it became increasingly evident that UNICEF's integrated approach is essential," that's how Laura Ludwin, the former chair of the Board of the Committee, summarized the impressions of the group.
The group consisted of seven volunteers and three staff members. During their stay from 18 April to 1 May 2005 the group saw programmes related to the three priorities of the Cooperation Programme between UNICEF and the Government of Mozambique – child survival, basic education and the fight against HIV/AIDS.
An important part of the visit was dedicated to the learning opportunities of children. The group visited several schools, where children are provided with school bags and learning material, and where UNICEF supports the improvement of the infrastructure by providing access to safe water and sanitation facilities. The installation of separate latrines has proven to be a crucial intervention to keep girls in school.
Another focus of the programme was the fight against HIV/AIDS. The group saw programmes to prevent the transmission of the virus from the mother to her child, as well as a youth-friendly health service and a radio programme both promoting HIV/AIDS prevention among young people. They also visited several community based organizations which are supporting children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS, such as ASVIMO in Dondo and Khulupira in Nhamatanda. Both organizations are supported by UNICEF. ASVIMO is providing vocational training to orphaned and vulnerable children, among other activities. Khulupira provides home based care to families taking care of orphaned children, including households headed by children.
"UNICEF's support has enabled many ideas to flourish to a level where they can be expanded to a regional, provincial or national scale with the support of larger government donors or other UN agencies," Ms. Ludwin said. UNICEF Canada volunteers and staff will return home and mobilize the public by sharing the stories of the past ten days." The Committee is planning a major fundraising and advocacy campaign on "Children and AIDS".
The Canadian Committee for UNICEF through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) recently already contributed almost 1 million USD to the UNICEF HIV/AIDS programme in Mozambique.

Kyle Bonagura reports that the San Francisco 49ers have waived RB Brandon Jacobs. Since signing with the 49ers, Jacobs has seen only 5 carries the entire season. It was pretty clear that Jim Harbaugh and the coaching staff preferred to play their other running backs like Kendall Hunter, LaMichael James and Anthony Dixon in relief of Frank Gore. There's actually a chance, all be it remote, that the Giants could look to bring Jacobs back into the mix now that Ahmad Bradshaw is fairly banged up. The only question is whether or not Jacobs has anything left.

"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"
"Bought the labels to match the whole theme and I was very happy I did. We used them on the honey jars we purchased and they looked absolutely fabulous."

Women's sizing. BustedTees tend to run a bit small, so for a loose fit order one size up.

Heineken Cup: Edinburgh still pointless after defeat in Munster
Last Updated: 21/10/12 10:44pm
Conor Murray: scored Munster's first try against Edinburgh
Munster kick-started their Heineken Cup campaign with a bonus-point 33-0 victory over Edinburgh at Thomond Park on Sunday.
Second-half tries from Conor Murray, Peter O'Mahony, Sean Dougall and Damien Varley sealed the bonus-point victory for the hosts while Ian Keatley kicked three penalties and two conversions after their opening round defeat to Racing Metro.
For Edinburgh the defeat all but ends their hopes of repeating last season's progress to the latter stages of the competition following their heavy loss to Saracens last weekend.
Munster dominated the opening 40 minutes but led just 6-0 at the break following two penalties from Keatley, who started in place of the injured Ronan O'Gara.
Munster's dominance of possession and territory finally paid off ten minutes into the second half when Murray darted through a gap around the fringes and slid under the posts following a series a series of busting surges from the hosts.
Keatley added the simple conversion and a third penalty in the 56th minute to give the hosts a sizeable lead.
With ten minutes remaining O'Mahony powered over from close-range following a driving lineout and Dougall grabbed Munster's third try of the afternoon after supporting a break away from Keatley.
The home fans roared Munster on in the final minutes as they hunted the bonus-point try and their pack delivered again as Varley crossed following another powerful driving maul.
Remarkably, last season's semi-finalists Edinburgh have yet to score a point in this season's competition, after losing 45-0 at home to Saracens last weekend.
