DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) – A part of Decatur's history changes hands. The Decatur City School Board held a specially called meeting Wednesday afternoon to vote on selling the old Decatur post office. The school system has had the building for about 14 years. But now it may be moving into private hands.
Wednesday's vote was a formality. It allows the superintendent to move forward with the proposed sale. As for the building, we're told it will undergo some remodeling but its historic value will be preserved.
Prior to Wednesday afternoon's meeting, Superintendent Ed Nichols explained, "You know, I'm excited for the building, that somebody's going to make use it there and be able to invest in it."
The old post office is almost a hundred years old. The school system acquired the property around 2000, and have used it for professional development and other programs.
"Right now we have our child nutrition programs there, and we have some special ed teachers that move around the district, we can relocate them easily in buildings we already have," Nichols said.
But as the school system looks to the future, the old building doesn't fit its needs or plans. And so when an offer was made, the board voted unanimously to accept it.
"This company, smaller I'm assuming, and they'll be able to do things with it that we couldn't do, plus they'll invest a lot of money in it that we really don't think would be in the best interest of our school money right now, to put in that building," Nichols said.
The building appraised at $325,000 but the school system will sell it for $375,000. Not a bad profit considering they paid $131,000 for it just 14 years ago.
The proposed buyer was identified in the board meeting as the Magnolia River Services. The school board did not discuss the company or exactly what they will do with the building, however Dr. Nichols says the company has met with city officials and is very interested in the revitalization of downtown Decatur. There was no indication from the board regarding the timetable for completing the transaction.

A Myrtle Beach man who is accused of robbing 14 banks in six states was sentenced today in federal court in downtown Charleston for his robberies in the Palmetto state.
Wesley Todd McCracken, 43, was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison. He pleaded guilty in December to robbing banks in Charleston, Georgetown, Columbia and Florence.
His attorney, Cameron Jane Blazer, told the judge before sentencing that her client committed the robberies while "under the haze of various substances," including cocaine.
McCracken began a robbery spree on Oct. 24, 2011, at a Wells Fargo bank in Florence, according to prosecutors. He's accused of robbing 13 other banks in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Pennsylvania over three months, according to prosecutors.
McCracken was arrested on Dec. 29, 2011, after he robbed a South Carolina Bank and Trust in Georgetown, authorities said. He admitted to all of the robberies after law enforcement showed him security photos of him committing the robberies, prosecutors said.
After his release McCracken will be required to pay restitution in monthly payments.

How Facebook's New 'Safety Check' is Aiding Travelers Following the Nepal Earthquake
I was boarding a plane when it happened, the Nepal Earthquake, that is.
I wasn't in Kathmandu. I was in Abu Dhabi, readying for a 15-hour flight back to the U.S., but I knew that one of my good friends was in Nepal and had been traveling around some of the areas most effected by the 7.8 earthquake and its aftershocks. How bad was this really? Was he safe?
While initial reports of the earthquake's magnitude rolled down my Twitter stream, a Facebook notification appeared just before the crew made the announcement for electronic devices to be turned off for take off. That notification, a green exclamation point icon, instantly shared that my friend had used the social network to "mark himself safe." I sighed with relief and turned off my device, beginning the long flight less anxious with the knowledge that he had reached out, somehow, to share his status.

How Napa Valley is Faring Following Yesterday's Earthquake
Above: Robert Mondavi in Napa, which was not damaged
At 3:20am PST on Sunday, a 6.1 earthquake shook the earth 6 miles from Napa, in the heart of California's heavily touristed wine country. Now dubbed the "South Napa Earthquake," the event did cause damage enough to interrupt businesses and tourism, but operations are quickly returning to normal, despite broken wine bottles and power outages.
CNN named a few wineries which felt the shake quite severely: Silver Oak Winery, Etude Wines, and Signorello Estate.
The Downtown Napa tourism board issued an update on the hotels unaffected by the quake:

Los Angeles Airport Open and Operating Normal After 4.4 Earthquake
Happy St. Patrick's Day, LA!
Operations are normal this morning at Los Angeles International Airport, despite the city shaking from a 4.4-magnitude earthquake at approximately 6:35am PST. It was originally reported as a 4.7-magnitude, but was downgraded. According to Dr. Lucy Jones of the US Geological Survey, the quake was a shallow one and "epicentered in the Santa Monica Mountains between Westwood and Encino, closer to the Valley side, about five miles below the surface."
The city is conducting an emergency survey by ground and air to confirm that the earthquake hasn't caused any damage, but the LA Times did speak with a Westwood bagel shop owner who noted that "No bagels fell off the shelves and 'everything stayed in place.'"

Tired of Europe's Grand Churches? Visit the Cardboard Cathedral
It's only been a couple of years since the Christchurch earthquake down in New Zealand, but the city and its residents have been working hard to bring things back to normal. Now one piece of the city's new landscape is complete, as a new—and unique—cathedral has been constructed to replace the ChristChurch Cathedral that was pretty much damaged beyond repair.
The new place was designed by Shigeru Ban and was created for around $6 million. The cathedral is constructed—at least in part—from cardboard, and is expected to stick around for quite some time until a true replacement can be constructed.

Mexico Volunteer Travel Now Emphasizing Earthquakes and Tsunami-Preparedness
It goes without saying that Mexico travel has become a bit of a capital-t Thing in the tourism world. For fairly obvious reasons, many travelers have gotten the impression that the country is a Mad Mex dystopia awash with drug lords who fight wars using DIY scrap-metal tanks and submarines.
In response, Mexico's tourism board has waged an aggressive rebranding campaign by dispatching politicians and inventing slogans and leveraging social media and placing stories in media outlets.
Many casual travelers, nonetheless, have remained skeptical. Mexican tourism companies have therefore chosenquite logicallyto target the non-casual travelers. The country is even developing something of a reputation as a volunteer travel destination.

It's 'Marmageddon!' New Zealand Has Totally Run Out of Marmite.
That's right, there's no more of that sweet, yeasty spread cherished by Kiwis worldwide. The supply of marmite has been exhausted and is creating "Marmageddon." After the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011 caused damage to the factory, the building was closed in November for further safety concerns.
The history of the iconic spread has its roots in England, who began exporting it in 1919. The original English taste wasn't well received and so the recipe was altered to suit local tastebuds, resulting in the acquired taste we know today. Alas, with this ordeal, even an emergency export from the UK won't exactly satisfy salivating fans.

The Biggest Travel Villain of 2011 Is...
It's that time of the year again, the time when the year just plain ends. Alas, we can't just let 2011 go that easily, especially since travelers spent it both up in the air and up in arms over a crazy range of topics, encompassing everything from nudie scans to tarmac delays. Needless to say, we're ready for 2012, but first we're taking a brief look back at the best of 2011 with the Jaunted Travel Awards,or as we fondly refer to themThe Jauntys.
Do you think we're going to say "TSA" for this year's biggest travel villain? Truthfully, we were tempted but they won the title in 2010 and it's time to move on. For 2011, the single biggest villain keeping travelers from where they wanted to go were...natural disasters.

Project Re:Start Brings (Colorful) Retail Back to Christchurch
While much of the "red zone" in the city center of Christchurch remains empty of people (save for the demolition crews checking the abandoned buildings that still make up a large part of the area), we came across a little rehabilitation project right at the edge that's bringing life and color back to the devastated city, Project Re:Start.
Project Re:Start is kind of like a pop-up mall made up of purpose-built, brightly colored shipping containers that have been arranged and stacked along Cashel Street and converted into shops and cafes. The project was financed with NZ$3.36 million from a the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal fund.

Breaking: 5.9 Earthquake Hits East Coast, New York City
Ahhh Earthquake! Okay, it's something you only see in disaster moviesan earthquake hits New York City and civilization as we know it is thrown into a panic. Well not quite, but just under 20 minutes ago an earthquake did hit the east coast of the United States, centered in Mineral, VA and felt quite heartily in both Washington DC and New York City. There are reports that tremors were even as high as Rhode Island. Crazy!
The USGS has pegged this quake as a 5.9 magnitude just a 1/2 mile below the surface, which is enough to get to shaking, but not enough to knock over appliances or throw people off their feet. Reports continue to flood in now on news channels and via Twitter, but it has been confirmed that this was, in fact, a real-live Earthquake.
We still hear the subways and traffic are running as normal. AirportsWashingon-Dulles, Newark and Philadelphiahave had brief ground stops lifted while ground stops continue (for not too much longer) at New York-JFK and Washington DC-Reagan National. Amtrak is also effected, putting speed restrictions on its trains between Washington DC and Baltimore.
Now, the "where I was" stories pour in. We were sitting perfectly still, noticed some things were shaking that shouldn't be shaking, looked out the window to see electrical cables swaying, and finally the shaking increased so much as to rule out any thought of the many subway tracks that surround Jaunted's NYC HQ. And then we turned to Twitter and saw the truth.
Your turn! Where were you? How much did you feel it?

Go to Tokyo. Now! Insane Deal Gets You Flights and Four Nights' Hotel for $780
Just when we thought we'd found one of the best travel deals for post-earthquake Tokyo, up pops an even sweeter bargain. This $780 airfare including four nights hotel deal found by Frommers is making us think of canceling already booked trips to hop across the Pacific to Japan.
How can it possibly be so cheap? As Frommer's states, "this is a desperation offer designed to shock the American travel industry into once again considering tourism to Japan." Also, it's only valid for June travel and from select departure cities for select hotels in Tokyo. The participating airlines are pretty solid choices, though: ANA, Japan Airlines and United/Continental.

File Under "OMG OMG": Fly to Tokyo This Summer for $588 TOTAL (or Less) on Delta
Sometimes an airfare deal so sweet comes along, that it's almost impossible to resist. Andif you think about the current under-$600 deals on Delta in terms of new shoes (4-ish pairs), iPads (1), or Starbucks coffees (100), it really doesn't seem so bad.
You heard us rightDelta has just dropped prices on their routes to Tokyo, to Haneda Airport in particular, which just happens to have a sparkling new international terminal waiting for you. Try searching any US city to airport code HND, and you'll find fares like $582 from San Francisco, $588 from New York or Chicago and $564 from Los Angeles. These prices are roundtrip, total including taxes, and some are direct and some include stopovers.
Now here's the really awesome part:

Comments about Nitro Swindle Snowboard 2012:
I have ridden the Swindle on and off for the last 3 years. I absolutely LOVE this board. It takes every rock, stump, rail, stair set, and ski patrol I have thrown at it. The scratch and rip base is crazy durable, plus it looks cool. If you haven't ridden an alternative cambered board yet check out the Zero camber this has. It has all the snap and power of a traditional board, with the playful easy feel of a reverse. Its the perfect storm.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Anthony D.
from New England
About Me Intermediate
I first tried this board last season when i was interested in getting a more advanced board as i got better. I tried it out and fell IN LOVE with it. i was already jibbing pretty good already on my Head Fusion Rocka, (which isnt a park board) but when i used this board i was doing it 10X better/Smoother/Effortlessly. So i decided to buy it in the off season, and i cant wait to use it this year!

Mass Effect Citadel DLC Review
The latest Mass Effect DLC is the best one to be released in all three games. This DLC was made for that Mass Effect fan that has been waiting for all the characters to reunite from the first game to the last. The content is made up of a great mission that has a great plot twist. I did not see it coming when i was playing. All in all the mission is fun because you fight against a new enemy which makes it refreshing. The real gold in this DLC is not the combat however, it is the reunion of all the characters from all three games. This is a must buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadpool's Newest Trailer!!
Here is our favorite MARVEL anti-hero doing what he does best…WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS! These trailer get more and more hilarious every time and with showing more about the game it just makes me that more impatient. Especially with the trailer introduction of Cable who has been MIA since MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2, it's great to have you back in games cable, one of my biggest hopes is the hopes that Cable will be a playable character and being able to use his gadgets. What isn't great is that there is no word on the official release of this title so we just have to wait a little longer for that, but trust that FBG will be up to date with news release on DEADPOOL.
Microsoft Cancels the Kinect game 'Matter'
Matter, a Kinect game that was expected to launch on Xbox Live Arcade in 2013, has been cancelled by Microsoft. It was to be the first game developed in partnership with film director Gore Verbinski and Blind Wink Games.
"Microsoft Studios is no longer pursuing this title," says a company representative. "We have no further details to share at this time."
Phil Spencer, Corporate VP of Microsoft Studios, told Joystiq in June last year that Verbinski had pitched Matter as a means to instill and demonstrate emotion in typically motionless game players. A futuristic metal sphere, seen moving through a futuristic landscape in the game's E3 2012 trailer, represented an active control surface implemented through Kinect.

By Staff Sgt. Todd Oliver, USA, and Spc. Aaron Reed,Special to American Forces Press Service
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, Dec. 18, 1998 The baby was no more than two months old and she was cradled on the hip of a nine-year-old girl. Both are orphans. The baby clearly needed medical attention -- nearly 80 percent of her body was covered with sores and rashes. Her plight is heart-rending, but she is luckier than some people on the other side of a 10-foot-high gate.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society Children's Home is an oasis in San Salvador's rough-and-tumble San Jacinto neighborhood. Its blue and white walls stand at the end of a winding, rutted, trash-strewn road lined with open-sided bars and the wooden stalls of a busy open-air market. Swarms of flies engulf slabs of meat that hang on hooks in the scorching mid-morning sun.
A blue El Salvadoran air force bus trundles through the gauntlet and a raucous chorus of car horns and revving engines. Its cargo: gifts of medicine and food from Joint Task Force-Aguila, based 30 miles south of town at Comalapa Air Base -- and task force members packed three to a seat and standing in the aisle.
The visitors arrived with a mission: Bring aid and comfort to the more than 450 children in the home. In addition, a medical team from the 86th Combat Support Hospital would put skills to work -- and gain valuable data.
The visit gives the Americans a chance to see what medical problems seem prevalent locally and what to expect with the children in other places, said Army Lt. Col. Lillian W. Williams, hospital deputy commander and chief nurse. Twice weekly she sends teams to areas identified by El Salvador's Ministry of Health as having been critically damaged recently by Hurricane Mitch.
"We have the specialists, so why not use them?" she said. "These people don't have a lot of other resources to fall back on."
Almost half the children in the home are orphans, some the enduring victims of El Salvador's 12-year civil war. Some were placed by social workers because of abusive parents. Some belong to families that are too poor to feed them. Others were simply abandoned -- police found one infant boy on a trash heap six months ago.
"We are here to make these children happy," said Sgt. Maj. Edgardo A. Menjivar of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 593rd Corps Support Group, Fort Lewis, Wash. In his hand, he carried a flight bag filled with clothes, medicine and other items for the children.
"It won't be enough, but it's something. It's a start. I asked the nurse here what kind of things they were missing. One of the things they need is cotton balls. That tells you how much we take for granted. I buy cotton balls to shine my boots," he said. "I can't guarantee what the conditions will be here two years from now. I can tell you that things will be better for the next 90 days, though.
The medical team examined children in the home's clean, bright infirmary and found most of the problems were relatively simple: skin disorders -- rashes and scabies -- and secondary infections that would respond readily to donated antibiotics. They also took note of cases needing follow-up attention.
"The people here seem to be on top of the problems, and they follow-up well," said Capt. Barbara Agen, a pediatric nurse practitioner. "They just need some help with the medicines."
"The kids look great," said Dr. (Capt.) Rob Atkins, the hospital unit's family practitioner. "They're very well-nourished and healthy. Obviously these children are well cared-for."
Those children seemed to care only that the Americans were there, not why. They surrounded the visitors, a cross section of Army and Marine Corps personnel deployed to the task force for hurricane relief work. Some waited as the Americans opened ration packs and passed out the contents. Others sipped bottled water, while others asked to hold hands or to be picked up. Giggles and laughter intermingled with questions asked time and again in Spanish to non-Spanish ears.
"I heard about this trip and I was dressed, waiting for the bus, five minutes later," said Sgt. Demetrius Jackson, a food service specialist in Menjivar's company and father of three. "I love kids. I just wanted to see how these kids were. I knew they didn't have that much. I just wanted to see if I could bring them a little happiness with my smile."
Cecilia Ramos, a shy 11-year-old orphan, and her friend, 13-year-old Marta Ramos (no relation), sat in the shade with Pfc. Grisel Ruiz. "We've just been chit- chatting," the Fort Lewis legal specialist said. "I've been talking about my daughter, who's 12, and we've been talking about school.
"They were pretty quiet at first," Ruiz said. "It took them a while to start opening up to me." Cecilia, she learned, wants to own a bakery someday, while Marta's not sure what she wants to do when she grows up.
"You could just see their faces light up," said Pfc. Jennifer Hernandez, a 593rd Corps Support Group administrative specialist. "All you had to do was hold their hands or give them a hug. They're little kids and they want to be loved. One little girl went on the swing with me and wouldn't let me put her down. She just wouldn't let go."
Menjivar went around trying to get an accurate head count of children and their ages. "I needed to know how many were boys and how many were girls so that we could come back here for Christmas," said the sergeant major, who grew up in San Salvador and recalls playing soccer where the orphanage now stands. "We're going to start a collection so we can purchase some toys."
"The kids were happy," Menjivar said. "You could hear it in their laughter and see it in their smiles. None of the children spoke English and most of our people can't speak Spanish, but after a while it didn't seem to be a problem. With children, you can always find a way to communicate."

Successful prose fiction weaves together the fabric of true-to-life experience with the artificial fiber of created characters and synthesized plot lines. The final "quilt" is seamless; you can't tell which are the real fibers and which are the synthetic ones. This quilt is stronger and more form fitting than the literal truth. It provides us with a lesson, a moral, a path to our own future.
With the American economy still in trouble, and the jobless future still appearing quite bleak, now is the time to look back over the past decade through the probing truth-telling eyes of prose fiction. Douglas Brunt, first time novelist, is a persuasive storyteller, and one story that was important to the collapse of our speculation and deception-ridden economy was failed bailout and ultimate demise of Bear Stearns in 2008. Brunt details a personal world of opulence and excess which the traders and sellers entered when they signed up for duty at Bear Stearns. Whether this rendering is entirely realistic or just one window into a larger reality, it is a compelling read. Our guide to this world is Nick Farmer, a seasoned bond trader who like so many others has sacrificed his youth and his dreams for the million dollar bonuses and the over-specialized non-transferable skills of Wall Street.
But Farmer isn't just another soulless sellout – he has heart and it turns out he has courage. As we follow him through a Celinesque world of hallucinatory Wall Street decadence and depravity we find ourselves rooting for his final chance for escape. In the process we witness bathroom cocaine, endless alcohol binges, and hookers and strippers who submit to sado-masochistic tryts which tragically border on rape.
Farmer is more or less on the periphery of this brutality, more of a witness than a participant, but it is clear he wasn't simply signing on to a computer screen when he took the job at Bear, he was agreeing to a mentally and physically corrosive lifestyle that was the ultimate undoing of the individual and may have contributed to the cumulative undoing of our economy. After more than a decade of exposure to this life, Farmer not only feels trapped, but he is in danger of losing both his marriage and his sanity. It is amazing that he is still in a position where he can still save both.
Brunt describes not just the psychological but also the physical effects of years of excess drinking. Jack Wilson is an associate who runs the trading desk at Chappy, a top brokerage shop. "He's about five seven, average build, but his face and neck are swollen from alchohol. The way cookie dough flattens when baked, his features have melted down to be almost flat and unrecognizable. There is enough left to see that it had once been a good-looking face."
Jack ends up having a heart attack, probably brought on by alcohol and cocaine, and literally collapses in Nick's arms, near death.
Jack's destruction motivates Nick in his struggle to regain his moral compass before its too late, to resist the temptress who is the final threat to his marriage, to quit before he is sucked irretrievably to the center of the vortex.
Reading The Ghosts of Manhattan, it is easy to understand how the worst of Wall Street came apart. But in Nick's determination to escape his own inevitable destruction we are uplifted and find renewed hope for a cleaned-up world without Bear Stearns.
Unfortunately, plucking out one large weed didn't mean that others wouldn't immediately grow in to take its place.

Caffeine is most commonly used due to its broader therapeutic index and slower excretion rate than theophylline.Cardiorespiratory Home MonitorsInfants are generally monitored for a 5- to 7-day apnea-free period after discontinuing methylxanthine therapy before sending an infant home without a monitor.Home monitors are rarely indicated for the detection of apnea, because infants with immature respiratory systems are generally still hospitalized until they are no longer at risk for apnea of prematurity.Any home cardiorespiratory monitor used must have download capability.Monitoring may be prescribed for some preterm infants with an unusually prolonged course of recurrent, extreme apnea.Monitoring should be limited to approximately 43 weeks' PMA or after the cessation of extreme episodes, whichever comes last.Additional FactorsPreterm infants are known to be at higher risk for SIDS; high-risk period lasts up to 10 months.As "a causal relationship between prolonged apnea and SIDS has not been established," home cardiorespiratory monitoring should not be used to prevent SIDS (AAP Task Force on Prolonged Infantile Apnea, 2003).Premature infants beyond the immediate neonatal period can experience apnea following ketamine sedation or general anesthesia; they should have cardiorespiratory monitoring in hospital for 24 hours after surgery.Return to Appendix ContentsBronchopulmonary DysplasiaCharacteristicsNeed for supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks postmenstrual age, with radiographic changes on chest x-ray (bilateral, diffuse hazy lungs; interstitial thickening; increased lung inflation).Symptoms: tachypnea, increased work of breathing, chronic wheeze or cough, oxygen dependence, +/- ventilator dependence, hypercarbia with compensated respiratory acidosis.Course characterized by acute exacerbations of respiratory distress.Overall incidence is unchanged due to increased survival of extremely premature infants.(~7500 new cases/year) but is decreased with surfactant and early extubation to NCPAP.Risk factors: premature birth, respiratory failure, O2 supplementation, mechanical ventilation, air leaks, pulmonary edema, PDA ligation, infection causing lung injury, lung hypoplasia.TreatmentOxygen (see home oxygen topic sheet).Fluid restriction and diuretics: Use of diuretics is reserved for severe BPD and evidence of diuretic responsive disease.Furosemide, chlorothiazide, spironolactone (see medication sheet for dosing).May need KCl or NaCl supplements to correct electrolyte deficiencies.Chronic furosemide use improves both oxygenation and lung compliance, but has not decreased length of hospital stay or need for oxygen therapy.Inhaled bronchodilators or corticosteroids (see medication sheet for dosing). Only for infants that show evidence of reversible airway obstruction.Only patients that have a family history of asthma and have episodic attacks similar to asthma have been shown to have any benefit from inhaled steroids.RSV immunoprophylaxis; influenza and pneumococcus vaccinations.Higher caloric intake needed to account for increased work of breathing, as well as ongoing tissue repair and tissue deposition; due to fluid restrictions, these patients may need fortified feeds to maintain an adequate growth rate.MonitoringMonitor O2 saturations, resting respiratory rate and effort, presence of retractions, and color.Watch for adequate weight gain (15-30 g/day). If inadequate, may be due to insufficient caloric intake or hypoxemia.Watch for excessive fluid retention (tachypnea, retractions, rales, excessive weight gain, enlarged liver, poor feeding, O2 saturation <92%).Watch neurodevelopment closely.Outcomes50% with CLD require rehospitalization in the first year, and 37% in the second year of life.More prone to: frequent lower respiratory tract illnesses, feeding difficulties, growth failure, rehospitalization during infancy.Despite treatment, approximately 10% of these children die in the first year of life.Increased risk for cognitive, motor, and language impairment, hearing loss, and poor academic performance.Lung function generally remains reduced until adolescence, at which point it approaches normal for age; in some, pulmonary function will again deteriorate in adulthood.Children with CLD are more likely to develop asthma and require bronchodilator therapy.Return to Appendix ContentsGastroesophageal RefluxCharacteristicsCommon problem in premature infants. Lower esophageal sphincter hypotonia.Transient relaxation of the esophageal sphincter.Less frequent esophageal peristaltic activity.Delayed gastric emptying.Decreased gastric compliance.Neurologic impairment.Is a physiologic event; it is important to distinguish between physiologic and pathologic GER (GERD, or GER disease) before beginning any therapeutic interventions.Failure to thrive is usually not associated with physiologic GER in premature infants.Symptoms of Pathologic GERFailure to thrive due to malnourishment.Frequent respiratory problems due to aspiration.Esophagitis with or without stricture formation.Growth delay, poor feeding, irritability.Post-prandial vomiting, gagging, coughing, arching, fussiness, feeding refusal.Some infants may experience aspiration, cyanosis, and vomiting.Sandifer syndrome: excessive hiccups, sleep disturbances, and arching.Uncommon symptoms: intermittent stridor, hoarse voice, acute episodes of spasmodic croup, bronchospasm, pneumonia.Data and research supporting a causal relationship between GER and apnea is lacking.Diagnosis of Pathologic GERHistory.Barium swallow.pH probe.TreatmentMedical or surgical therapy is indicated only for pathological GER.Therapies may improve symptoms, but generally reflux is not entirely eliminated.GER usually self-improves within 6 months of life due to maturation, sitting upright, and intake of more solid foods.Antireflux wedge (elevates head by 30 degrees).Postprandial prone positioning when awake and under supervision, or left lateral positioning.Thickened feeds (rice cereal, 2-3 tsp/oz).Concentrating milk for decreased volume of feeds.More frequent, smaller volume feeds.H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors.Prokinetics.Nissen fundoplication is the last resort for selected severe and intractable cases, or for those with severe neurological impairment in whom aspiration is a real risk.Return to Appendix ContentsNephrocalcinosisCharacteristicsRenal lithiasis in which calcium deposits form in the renal parenchyma and result in reducedkidney function and hematuria.Seen with renal ultrasound, or occasionally on plain radiographs of the kidneys.Results from an imbalance of stone-promoting and stone-inhibiting factors.Incidence in very low-birthweight infants (BW<1500g) ranges from 16-64%.Risk factors in at risk infants:Medications with hypercalciuric effects (furosemide, corticosteroids, aminoglycosides).Metabolic acidosis.Hypocitraturia.Hypercalciuria.High urinary oxalate:creatinine ratios.High urate:creatinine ratios.EffectsGlomerular function: Mean GFR and microalbuminuria in preterm infants is slightly worsethan in healthy infants.Proximal tubule function: Phosphate reabsorption is significantly lower in patients withnephrocalcinosis, but plasma phosphate levels are within reference limits; no firm evidence forproximal tubular dysfunction.Distal tubule function: Urine anion gap of infants with nephrocalcinosis is high, and serumbicarbonate levels are low, indicating distal tubular dysfunction.Blood pressure: Not higher in infants with nephrocalcinosis, but overall higher in preterminfants than in healthy term infants.Hypercalciuria: Significantly more hypercalciuria in infants with nephrocalcinosis.Monitoring/TreatmentIf associated with a medication that causes hypercalciuria, consider trying to stop themedication and monitor for resolution.Resolves in 75% by 7 years of age.Does not appear to have any long-lasting significant health effects.Should have: Blood pressure checked at every visit.Yearly renal ultrasounds until resolution occurs.Electrolytes and BUN/Cr checked every 2 years.Patients do not need to be followed by renal team unless other issues arise.UTI and urolithiasis do not occur any more frequently than in general population.Do NOT stop the use of high-calcium containing infant formulas.Return to Appendix ContentsPatent Ductus ArteriosusCharacteristicsA persistent open connection beyond 3 months of age between the pulmonary artery and the aorta with blood flow from the aorta to the pulmonary artery.An open ductus may lead to: Congestive heart failure.Pulmonary hypertension.Increased risk of bacterial endocarditis.FollowupA high rate of spontaneous closure occurs during the first 2 years of life.If the ductus is open at the time of hospital discharge, followup with a cardiologist should occur within 2 months of discharge to assess well-being and the presence/absence of congestive heart failure. Earlier followup should occur if poor weight gain, difficulty feeding, and tachypnea develop.Generally do not need a followup echocardiogram, as anatomy is already known.ManagementIf spontaneous closure does not occur, closure should be performed to: Eliminate pulmonary overcirculation.Eliminate risk of endocarditis.If symptomatic: Initially, try diuretics and maximize caloric intake to 140 kcal/kg/day.If still symptomatic despite optimal medical management and: >2.4 kg, surgical ligation or percutaneous closure should be considered.<2.4 kg, surgical ligation should be considered.If asymptomatic: Wait until patient weighs between 10-12 kg, or is close to 2 years of age, then attempt percutaneous closure with Amplatzer occlude or coils.Surgery if percutaneous attempt is unsuccessful.Return to Appendix ContentsShort Bowel SyndromePathophysiologyFunctional disorder caused by alterations of normal intestinal anatomy and physiology.Shortened bowel combined with malabsorption; dependent on parenteral nutrition >3 months.May result from: necrotizing enterocolitis, congenital bowel atresia, volvulus, gastroschisis, Hirschsprung's disease.After resection, the residual small bowel undergoes intestinal adaptation, stimulated by hormones and oral nutrients: Mucosal hyperplasia.Villus lengthening and increased crypt depth.Bowel dilatation.Jejunum: long villi and large absorptive surface with high concentration of enzymes; site of greatest nutrient absorption. If resected, will have transient or permanent nutrient losses.Ileum can develop the absorptive capacity of the jejunum for various nutrients.Ileum: shorter villi, more lymphoid tissue, tighter epithelium; effective absorption of fluid and electrolytes; responsible for absorption of vitamin B12 and bile salts through receptors. Other bowel will never develop ability to absorb B12 and bile salts.Resection may impair bowel motility (many GI hormones produced in ileum).Intestinal adaptation after massive ileal resection is more difficult than after jejunal.Malabsorption of rapidly digested carbohydrates produces osmotic diarrhea.Fat soluble vitamins may also be inadequately absorbed.No absolute number can be placed on the length of remaining bowel necessary for successful enteral nutrition; remaining bowel may be damaged and act dysfunctional.Best prognosis over time is for infants in whom the duodenum, distal ileum, and ileocecal valve can be preserved.ComplicationsLong term TPN use: Hepatobiliary disease.Catheter-associated sepsis.Fluid and electrolyte imbalance.Bacterial intestinal overgrowth.Malnutrition.Failure to thrive.Dumping syndrome: post-prandial tachycardia, diaphoresis, lethargy, watery diarrhea. Marked increase in stools may indicate poor absorption, and enteral feedings should not be advanced.If significant volume loss, rehydration therapy and electrolyte replacement will be needed.Mortality of 30-40% from sepsis or liver failure.Management / FeedingsRecommend managing with consulting services in pediatric surgery, GI (and possibly the liver team), and neonatal dietitian.Attempt to wean off TPN as soon as possible.Enteral nutrition should be started promptly to promote intestinal adaptation.Usually started on elemental/semi-elemental diets containing free amino acids or small peptides, or breast milk. There are no elemental preterm formulas.Once they tolerate feeds, can gradually introduce a portion of preterm formula, fortifier, or supplements to improve the mineral and protein content of a term formula.These infants may have "leaky gut" with high rates of sensitization to cow's milk or soy protein.High proportion of fat in long-chain fatty acids promotes more mucosal adaptation; but those with ileal resection may not be able to absorb these and may need more medium-chain fats.Feedings are started slowly and continuously to maximally saturate carrier proteins.Higher concentrated formulas may cause osmotic diarrhea.Oral feedings should be initiated promptly; may have solids at 4 months CGA (high in protein and fat and low in carbohydrate is preferred).For high stomas, may be beneficial to re-feed the proximal stoma effluent through the mucous fistula for additional nutrient and fluid absorption and to stimulate distal gut.For bacterial overgrowth, may need intermittent dosing of antibiotics that affect anaerobic bacteria.Infants with ileal resection are at risk for B12 deficiency; may need parenteral B12 every 1-3 months.Children with enterostomies or diarrhea are at risk for zinc deficiency and may need supplementation: Poor growth, diarrhea, impaired wound healing, perianal and perioral skin rash, alopecia.Gastric acid hypersecretion: More common in larger bowel resections and initiation of enteral feedings.Can cause secretory diarrhea.Ranitidine may help.Surgical TreatmentsGoals of surgery: Slow intestinal transit.Increase mucosal surface area.Improve peristaltic function.Increase intestinal length.May eventually require intestinal +/- liver transplant.Return to Appendix ContentsVision Screening and Retinopathy of PrematurityVisual Defects Seen in Preterm InfantsHigh-risk infants are more likely to have permanent visual deficits and/or show a delay in visual development that persists until adolescence.Deficits in the ability to perform visual discrimination tasks is one of the most striking, persistent deficits.Reduced visual fields, amblyopia, myopia (associated with BPD, seizures and asphyxia), and strabismus (associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)).Retinopathy of PrematurityAbnormal blood vessel growth in the incompletely vascularized retinas of premature infants.Incidence increases with lower gestational age and birthweight.Classification by: Zones 1-3: locates the disease from most posterior (Zone 1) to most anterior (Zone 3).Stages 1-5: degree of vasculopathy at the vascular-avascular transition (Stage 5 is most severe and involves complete retinal detachment).Plus disease: occurs when arrested blood vessel growth resumes abnormally, with tortuous vessels piling up within the retina, forming a thick ridge of tissue.Neovascular tissue (i.e., plus disease) may contract and form a scar, which then pulls and distorts the retina, resulting in retinal detachment, especially if ROP is in zone 1.Screening / MonitoringAll infants <1500 grams or <30 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA) should be screened prior to discharge.If retinal vasculature is completely mature, no further exams are needed.Followup is dictated by degree of maturation, severity of ROP, and ophthalmologist.Patients with ROP requiring laser therapy, and grade III/IV IVH, PVL, HIE, or hydrocephalus requiring shunting should be seen again at 9-12 months postnatal age by ophthalmology.A pediatric ophthalmologic assessment for glasses and possible strabismus or amblyopia therapy should be obtained in the first year of life.Treatment / OutcomesMild ROP (stage I or II without plus disease) have a somewhat higher incidence of myopia, strabismus, and amblyopia.Threshold ROP (residual scar without retinal detachment): Associated with severe myopia, glaucoma.At risk for slowly progressive retinal degenerations that can lead to retinal detachments and acuity loss in later decades.Total retinal detachment equates to no useful vision in that eye, even when vitrectomy is performed to reattach the retina.Criteria for laser therapy or cryotherapy: Zone 2: plus disease with stage 2 or 3 ROP.Zone 1: plus disease with any stage ROP.Zone 1: stage 3 ROP with no plus disease.Return to Appendix Contents Page last reviewed December 2013 Internet Citation: Transitioning Newborns from NICU to Home: Family Information Packet: Appendix B.

The research, led by Dr Tony Hoare and Rosanna Munn at University of Bristol, attempted to quantify the effectiveness of the scheme.
"I was pleased with the results. The word on the street from the universities was that summer schools worked, but until now the evidence was anecdotal," said Dr Hoare.
The team measured the effectiveness of the scheme, including tracking up to 250,000 students through the Ucas university application system.
The researchers found strong statistical evidence that having attended a summer school was associated with an increased likelihood of applying to at least one of the participating universities and to other leading universities.

What's for dinner? - 11/17/10
i looked around for one of these threads for today and didn't find one - so i guess i get to start one! :)
i just made a stir fry with tempeh and a mix of vegetables (green beans, broccoli, red pepper, onion; from a freezer bag) with water chestnuts and plenty of garlic, and a typical brown sauce. i also set out to cook sushi rice correctly for the first time and it came out pretty good.

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and new statistics show motorcycle deaths are up nine percent nationally.
With temperatures going up, there's going to be a lot more motorcyclists out riding.
We spoke with some bikers in the Albuquerque Metro area. They gave us some tips to keep both drivers and bikers safe.
The Governors Highway Safety Association projects approximately 5,000 motorcyclists died nationwide in 2012. That's a nine percent increase from the year before. New Mexico has seen an increase too. Officials think that's because more New Mexicans are purchasing motorcycles.
Chris Lujan's life and business revolve around bikes. When he's not working on them, he's out riding and says bikers have to be even more cautious than someone in a car because they're exposed.
"You watch other people's eyes through their own mirrors. That's the best advice you can give. Because you can see someone, you can see that they're going to do something before they do it through their eyes."
Common sense and every statistic you can find support wearing helmets. So why doesn't everyone?
"Excuses are I can't hear. It blocks my visibility. I personally just think it don't look cool."
Scotsman Jim Little is on a 2 week, Old rote 66 journey from Chicago to Los Angeles. The few times he's had to go on interstates, he says it's been scary.
"Just the traffic and the amount of traffic that's on the highways compared to the Route 66."
Little says drivers in the U.S. are better than what he was expecting.
"The other drivers have been fairly courteous. Better than home? I would say better than home yeah."
