Police: SB 1070 ruling will have little impact on job
A day after the Supreme Court ruled on SB 1070, people who oversee the day-to-day activities of Phoenix police officers said there will be minimal to no impact on how officers do their job.
Also unchanged will be how officers interact with the public during routine calls or traffic stops.
Joe Clure, president of Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, the police union, said he doesn't expect to see any changes at the street level.
He repeats what Chief of Police Daniel Garcia said during a news conference Monday. "We will treat everyone with respect and dignity."
Traffic stops will not include a verification of legal status in the United States, according to the union.
"Local law enforcement's primary responsibility is not immigration enforcement, it's an ancillary duty that we will engage in when we believe it's in the best interest of the community. The fact of the matter is, police have other duties," Clure said.

Recipe by AUNTIEREE1
"This is a recipe we have enjoyed in my family for several years. It has become a holiday staple and is very easy to make. In fact, it tastes better the next day or just cold out of the refrigerator."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (16 ounce) packages
frozen chopped broccoli
2 (11 ounce) cans
condensed cream of Cheddar cheese soup
2 (10.75 ounce) cans
condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups
seasoned croutons
This was good, but I did make some small changes. I only used 1 can each of the soups. I stirred everything together in a large bowl before adding to baking dish, topped with shredded cheddar before baking. Everyone enjoyed it.
My Family did not like this recipe, nor did I. It was overkill on the cheese sauce and it tasted like it had too many preservatives in it, even though I used Fresh Broccoli instead of Frozen. I will make my own version, using my cheese sauce recipe, (from my Mac and Cheese Recipe) and fresh Broccoli. A Sprinkle of Parmesan on top will make it perfect. I will submit the recipe as soon as I get it set up.

This always disappears like mad! However, we have made a minor change to the recipie. Instead of cheese soup, we add cream of broccoli cheese! Very delicious.
Wow! Who would think something so quick and easy to put together would taste so good!! Had my daughter and son-in-law for dinner and served an entree that took hours to make and all they did was rave about this broccoli casserole! My daughter, who doesn't cook much, asked for the recipe. This is definately a keeper for regular meals as well as Holiday dinners. Thanks, Lynnmarie!!
This was very easy to make and tasty! I omitted the croutons because others said they turned out soggy. It was very soupy, which I liked, but some people might not.
Very disappointed. There was far too much sauce, as well as it being bland and "fake cheese" tasting. It made for a bland, soggy mess. While the general idea behind this recipe sounded good, I don't know if it can be made so, and I have no interest in trying.
Try Broccoli Chicken Casserole 1 on this website, sort by most helpful, and follow reviewers' suggestions. It's way yummy.
I made this during the holidays as something a little different to serve as a side. I wish I hadn't. No one at it :-(

FIRST DAY WITH A NEW BABY! - So, it's your first day with your new baby hedgehog. Now that you have committed to a 4-7 year lifespan, it's all about the love and the bond you two both share. Spend at least 1-2 hours a day with your new baby. Let him/her get to know your scent and other people you live with in your home. It's very important that you socialize your hedgehog not with only yourself, but the others that are around you. The more social your hedgehog is with people the more accustomed he/she will be to being handled. To help your new baby cope with your new scents, leave a used t-shirt with him/her in their cage to snuggle up to when they are sleeping :) SOCIALIZATION IS KEY!
Happy Hedgies: Basic Hedgehog Care
· Your hedgehog's cage should be no less than 4 square feet. Despite things you may have read, hedgehogs DO need that much extra space. A 2x2 or bigger C&C cage or XL metal or plastic cage (like those made for rabbits or ferrets) works great. Make sure that the cage's floor has a bottom with a solid surface and that the sides have no wire grates that hedgehogs can climb or escape from.
· Hedgehogs need to have a hiding place or cover to sleep under. Providing such a hiding place will reduce nervousness. Large igloos or huts, fleece hedgie bags or blankets and XS sized plastic storage totes with a hole cut out the side is fine. We don't recommend shoe boxes, as they can invite cardboard mites into your pet's sleeping area.
· You will want to place your hedgehog's cage in a warm area of the house. Hedgehogs need to be kept in a room with a temperature of 74F to 82F (22C to 27C). If a hedgehog gets too cold it will attempt to go into hibernation. Hibernation can be fatal for the domesticated African Pygmy Hedgehog.
· Unless you are attempting to breed hedgehogs, please keep males and females separated. Please leave all breeding practices to the professionals. There are many factors and complications that can happen while mating and during birth.
· Tidy the cage daily and clean the cage whole cage at least once to twice a week and odour won't be a problem.
· We highly recommend using fleece and flannel liners. There are many beneficial reasons why bedding made from fabric: Dust free, washable, reusable, absorbant, comes in a variety of colors and patters, so you can deck out your hedgehog's cage with style, will save you hundreds of dollars in bedding materials. There is also variety of other beddings that are available for hedgehog use as well, such as: Recycled paper products and aspen shavings.
· A little warning about wood beddings, even though they say they are "dust free" 100% of the time they aren't. Hedgehogs have very sensitive respiratory systems and too much dust can cause a respiratory infection. Wood beddings have also been known to carry mite eggs which could hatch and infest your new pet, wood beddings and corn cob bedding also can become lodged in sensitive areas of your hedgehog. Be certain to inspect your hedgehog daily for redness or swellings.
· We don't recommend using Carefresh as we have witnessed our hedgehog eating it and became very ill. There have been reports of Carefresh causing internal blockage, causing the hedgehogs to pass from ingesting it.
· In the wild hibernation is completely natural for a hedgehog, however, for domesticated hedgehogs, hibernation can cause illness and possibly even death.
· Hedgehogs must be kept at a temperature between 74F to 82F. To ensure a stable temperature, you may need a heat source. Heat sources include CHEs (Ceramic Heat Emitter), heating pads or space heater. CHEs can be found at most pet stores in the reptile section or ask one of the staff. Heating pads and space heaters can be found at Wal-Mart, Zellers, Canadian Tire ect.
· To stabilize and know what your cage temperature is at a thermometer placed inside the cage gives the most accurate reading. Be sure it's high enough where your hedgehog can't grab it.
· Diet is an area where there is considerable controversy. We still don't know exactly what a hedgehog needs, but there have been lots of preliminary studies.
· What you feed your hedgehog is very important to what your hedgehog might smell like, how they act, how their quills look ect. So a good diet means a very healthy and stable hedgehog.
· We now know that hedgehogs require a high premium quality cat food with high protein (not less than 28%) and low fat diet (not higher than 15%), fibre should be above 5%. Too high of protein and fat can cause fatty liver disease, gondis, an obese hedgehog and possibly shorten the hedgehog's life.
· Kitten food is never recommended for an adult hedgehog 1+ years old. Kitten food is only ever used for pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, weaning babies and ill/sick hedgehogs.
· Never feed your hedgehog "Hedgehog" specific foods such as "Hedgehog Diet" "Insectivore Fare" "8in1" "Vitacraft" ect. These hedgehog specific foods contain lots of fillers, by-products and don't provide enough nutrition that a hedgehog needs in their daily diet.
· Hedgehogs don't have very large stomachs, so they only require small amounts of food. Never "free-feed" your hedgehog as this results in stale food that won't be eating and just go to waste.
· A hedgehog eats about 1-3 tablespoons per night. Start with 2 tbsp and if you notice there is food left over decrease by a tablespoon, if all the food is gone, up it by a tablespoon.
· Hedgehogs should have fresh food and water given daily!
Water dishes or water bottles?
We like to think of hedgehogs as marathon runners. Think about it, you go for a very long run on your treadmill (running wheel for hedgehog), you are running your heart out and suddenly you are craving for a nice big glass of water. Would you rather be drinking out of a nice open glass (bowl of water for hedgehogs) or a sippy cup made for children where only a few dribbles at a time come out (water bottle for hedgehogs).
We also find water dishes are a more natural way that a hedgehog would drink in the wild. If you decide to go with water bottles, they still must be changed and cleaned daily with a scrubber to prevent any algae from growing in the bottle.
· There are various amounts of different treats you can provide to your hedgehog, but please remember these are only treats and cannot be their main diet source.
· Proteins – mealworms (regular or jumbo), butter worms/wax worms, crickets, unseasoned cooked chicken, unseasoned cooked egg
· Fruits – cherry, apple, watermelon, banana, pear, strawberry, cantaloupe, papaya, mango, peaches, pumpkin, squash, honeydew, cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, plum
· Veggies – carrot, sweet potato, radish, turnip, green pepper, asparagus, unseasoned corn, broccoli, peas (no shell)
· Make sure all seeds are removed!
· Hedgehogs need 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. It's recommended to have a light source like a lamp shine down on your hedgehog's cage during the day, and then turned off at night for them to wake up.
· Hedgehogs are nocturnal therefore they sleep during daylight hours and wake up when it's dark.
· A good lighting schedule is good for their health and internal clock. Too much sleep and they can become obese, too much darkness they can become confused and possibly go into hibernation. An appropriate lighting schedule would be 8am-8pm or go with your daily work schedule 7am-7pm or 9am-9pm. As long as it's 12 hours of daylight and night.
It's recommended if you have trouble adjusting to your hedgehog's light schedule, purchase a timer to set your hedgie's light to and you will never have to worry about forgetting to turn on or off their lights!
· Hedgehogs need lots of exercise, as they tend to become obese with inactivity or poor diet. A XL wheel (11" in diameter or more) is recommended. Be sure that the running surface of the wheel is solid, so that the hedgie is not at risk for slipping and breaking legs or toes getting caught.
· There are many varieties of wheels out there: Comfort Wheels, Flying Saucer wheels ect. Some people even make and sell their own bucket wheels! Do not use Silent Spinners; there was just a recent accident that has happen where a hedgehog's toe and toenails had been ripped off getting caught in the holes of the wheel.
· Wheels made for rodents with metal bars should in no case be used, as a broken leg may result.
· Many owners report that their hedgehogs enjoy anything that they can push or manipulate. Examples of toys that owners have reported their hedgehog enjoying are: toilet paper tubes, brightly colored plastic toy trucks, cat balls, and various stuffed animals, jingle bells, card board boxes, PVC piping and fun tunnels.
· Hedgehogs need to have footbaths almost daily, bathed monthly and nails clipped regularly.
· To bath your hedgehog you will need: soft bristle toothbrush, Baby Aveeno Oatmeal wash, a plastic cup and a warm dry towel.
1. Fill your sink with warm water so your hedgehog can't touch the bottom
2. Keep your hand under them to comfort them and be sure they are safe
3. Use your other hand and pour water over their quills to get them wet. Try not to get water in their eyes, ears and nose.
4. Put some of the Baby Aveeno Oatmeal on the toothbrush and brush down with the quills, never up. Don't forget to brush and clean their feet.
5. Rinse thoroughly!
6. When you are done, place your hedgehog in a warm towel and cuddle until completely dry. This is a good time to bond with your hedgehog.
· If skin looks irritated or dry, apply some drops of Vitamin E oil or Flax seed oil. Never tea tree oil as it's lethal for hedgehogs.
· To clip a hedgehog's nails, we find cuticle clippers work the best. You should be able to see their quick for an easy cut. Make sure you don't cut the quick! You might want to ask someone to hold your hedgehog for you while you clip their nails as hedgehogs can be squirmy at times.
· The more you handle your hedgehog, the more it will get accustomed to you. Socialization is Key!
· At first, your hedgehog may be scared. It may ball up or puff air and click its tongue to scare away any potential predator, including you. Approach your hedgehog slowly and quietly to gain its trust. Pick up your hedgehog by taking both hands underneath the sides of the belly to avoid the quills. Let them smell you first.
· You shouldn't need gloves to pick them up, even if it is scared, since you can slide your fingers underneath to distribute the weight. If you are afraid of being pricked, then take a pair of gloves and get them smelling like you so the hedgie will associate your smell with being picked up.
· Remember, hedgehogs are nocturnal and sleep during the day. If you wake up your hedgehog during the day, expect them to be a little cranky at first. It's best to save play time for later on in the day when they have had a more of the day's rest, so any time after 5:00pm would be a more suitable time.
· To let the hedgehog get accustomed to your scent, let them sleep in a worn t-shirt of yours that smells like you.
· Don't be surprised if your hedgie starts shedding a lot of quills when it is about 6 to 12 weeks of age. This is a normal process, and is known as "quilling." The hedgehog is simply shedding baby spines and you should be able to see new adult's spines pushing through the skin.
· To be on the safe side, though, you may want to check for mites or fleas. Signs of mites include crustiness around the quills and seriously dry looking skin. Both mites and fleas can be treated effectively with Revolution drops, available from your vet.
· When adolescent hedgies are "quilling" they may be somewhat grumpy, but should return to normal temperament once the quills are in.
· To help your hedgehog deal with this painful process, let your hedgehog soak in a nice oatmeal bath to sooth and soften their skin, but please keep full baths to a minimum as their skin is prone to dryness.
· Vitamin E oil and Flax seed oil can help reduce a hedgehog's dry skin, but only a couple drops. Too much and your hedgehog will look greasy and their quills may stick together.
· Hedgehogs go through two sets of quilling, one when then are 6-12 weeks old and then again between 6-12 months old. This is a completely natural occurrence all hedgehogs go through.
· Throughout a hedgehogs' life, hedgehogs shed quills daily, just like humans shed their hair. You may want to be concerned if your hedgehog loses more than 15 quills per day or if you notice your hedgehog's quill density is thinning.
· In the wild, hedgehogs are solitary animals. In captivity, some hedgehogs will accept or even crave the companionship of other hedgehogs, but don't always necessarily assume this is the case. However, some females prefer the company of other females. So, sometimes it's okay for females to be housed together.
· Males should never be housed together as it can result to fighting, injury and even death.
· Male and Female hedgehogs should never live together as it can result in pregnancy as the two hedgehogs will breed. In the wild, hedgehogs only come together to breed, but live solitary. If the hedgehogs bred and babies were born, there is a big chance the babies will be killed by both parents if housed together.
· Hedgehogs can have lethal roommate disputes, so if you decide to try to house two hedgehogs together, be sure to observe them closely (or at least be within earshot to separate them in case of fights) for at least the first 24 to 48 hours. Hedgehogs can emit a bloodcurdling scream when upset or hurt, but they can also get into fairly quiet tussles, so be careful.
· Since hedgehogs are considered exotic, you must search for a vet that deals with exotic animals. Please remember, considering a hedgehog is exotic, the vet bill can be expensive at times.
· Questions to a vet to be sure they are familiar with hedgehogs:
1. Do you deal with hedgehogs often?
2. Do you recommend another vet that might know more about hedgehogs?
3. Explain what your hedgehog might have or what you think the problem is and see if they come up with any solutions or see if they want you to bring your hedgehog in to see them.
· There isn't a really good way to tell a vet is good with hedgehogs unless you are there to watch and experience how they handle and treat your hedgehog. If you don't think they look experienced enough to deal with your hedgehog then keep searching.
· Some good vets that are good with hedgehogs in the Vancouver area are:
1. Whatcom Veterinary Hospital, 2100 Whatcom Road, Abbotsford
2. Eagle Ridge Animal & Bird Hospital, 2599 Runnel Drive, Coquitlam
3. Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital, 7380 King George Hwy, Surrey
· There are several active hedgehog forums and sites where loads of information by experts who have experienced hedgehogs almost all their lives. Some of these websites include Hedgehog Central and Chins-n-Hedgies.
· These sites provide a large group of owners consisting of new owners, experienced breeders, and rescues, and are a good place to turn first for help in caring for your hedgehog. Additional groups exist devoted to hedgehog caretakers and their interests.
· A search on the word 'hedgehog' in any search engine will turn up many different sources of information, some good, and some bad. As we learn more and more about our spiny friends, older information may be found to be incorrect. Newer sources should contain updated information. The sites mentioned above have frequent updated information.
· As a hedgehog breeder, we believe it is our sole responsibility to make sure that you're happy with your hedgehog and that you constantly gets updated information about hedgehog care.
· If there is anything you are unsure of or if you have any questions what so ever, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can provide you with answers and information very quickly as we have lots of connections in the hedgehog community.
You can always reach us by our e-mail address email@example.com or visit our website www.happyhedgies.webs.com and find more contact information there.
We sincerely hope you enjoy your new pet and the best wishes to the starting of a wonderful bond and an ever lasting friendship.

Happy Hedgies

Hidden in Quinnipiac poll, even better news for Lonegan
Posted By Michael Symons On April 28, 2009 @ 3:23 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
In a piece on CQPolitics [1], Republican campaign consultant Bill Pascoe — whose work in New Jersey included a few tours with former Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler's thwarted bids for governor — has some interesting insights into the Quinnipiac poll issued last week about this June's gubernatorial primary in New Jersey, which showed Chris Christie's lead over Steve Lonegan narrowing to 9 points.
It's worth a look-see, so do click through. Pascoe says poll data shows Christie's campaign is having a hard time making people more aware of their candidate's federal-prosecutor background and that lots of voters don't seem to think that would help him be a better governor. Or as Pascoe puts it: "In other words, the Christie campaign has been ineffectively communicating data points that would be ineffective in moving numbers even if they were being communicated effectively. Why? Because voters in New Jersey are inured to corruption. They accept it like their morning coffee."
And Pascoe also got Quinnipiac to drill down one more layer and provide him some unpublished data from the poll, about the Christie-Lonegan matchup among Republicans who said they had enough information to form opinions about both. It's a sample size too small to be statistically meaningful, which is part of why that data wasn't released, but among that group Lonegan may be holding a healthy advantage.

Sukhoi's civil aircraft division has appointed a new president, Andrei Vladimirovich Kalinovsky, who will take up the post within days.
The decision follows a regular board meeting at the airframer. Sukhoi says current president Vladimir Prisyazhnyuk's employment contract term has expired.
Kalinovsky, a former head of the Novosibirsk aircraft production facility NAPO, will take up his new post on 1 February and oversee the Superjet 100 programme.
He had previously served as first vice-president at the airframer's Komsomolsk operation.
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft says the change is important as the company prepares to increase production rates and expand its product lines.
Prisyazhnyuk will move to a new position within the larger Sukhoi organisation. United Aircraft president Mikhail Pogosyan has been elected as chairman of the board for the Sukhoi civil division.

Great basic kids shoe
"My son loves this shoe because it is easy to put on by himself and the velcro makes it so. Great play shoe overall. Runs a bit long I think compared to his others that are the same size but thicker socks will help I think. His last pair lasted about 6 months so I am hoping we get the same life out of this pair."

The previous reviewer is on the right track. The food is above average, there's no question of that, but the service is piss poor. Members of my family and I went to eat there yesterday and were treated very rudely by the attendant. When it came time to give us our bill, he stood before us while we were counting our money, making all of us nervous. When I gave him a $5 tip on a $35 dinner, a very adequate tip, I think, after counting it through in front of our faces, he complained that we didn't give him enough. I added a few more dollars, shaken up a bit by his statement, and he left, without leaving any of the usual after-dinner extras like an orange or fortune cookies. No thank you, nothing.

I have ordered here a number of times, both delivery and takeout. The restaurant is above par for most chinese restaurants and the food is slightly above average; however, the service leaves much to be wanted. More than once I have ordered delivery service and find out that the coupons mentioned on the phone have not been applied to my order. Upon calling back with the delivery person in my presence, I was told that I never mentioned the coupon. Needless to say, I still tipped the delivery guy since it wasn't his fault. Take out is another story. It's easier for me to count the times my order has not been screwed up, than to count the times it has. You can only check your order so may times before you leave only to find out when you get home, that what you ordered looked like your meal, but in fact was not. You'll find more for your money at the Mandarin Garden right around the corner. One positive is that they will deliver beer if you order a small pork fried rice. ID not required.

I've been here many times. Also I have tried just about every Chinese restaurant around, but this one consistently beats them all. Their specialties are especially the best, nice drinks at the full bar, great service, beautiful decor. Very very nice.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/516,258, filed Oct. 31, 2003 the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a system and method for manipulating a catheter or tube used to deliver a substance to a body cavity.
Recent medical studies suggest that it may be beneficial to deliver therapeutic aerosols or liquid or gas stream to anatomical surfaces within the surgical field of patients that are undergoing open or minimally invasive surgical procedures. In the case of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the surgical field may be a natural or artificially created body cavity or lumen. Similarly, it may be desirable to deliver therapeutic aerosols to an open anatomical surface. The aerosol formulations may be delivered before a surgical procedure, after a surgical procedure, or in the absence of an adjunctive surgical procedure.
Among problems that physicians have encountered during diagnostic or surgical procedures, using both "open" techniques, and minimally invasive surgical techniques (e.g. laparoscopic), are numerous post procedural complications. These complications can consist of, but are not limited to, post operative pain, infections, tissue adhesions, and tumor formation. Numerous products, such as medications and associated delivery systems, addressing these issues exist on the market to improve the surgical or invasive experience and patient outcomes. Among these products are suction and irrigation wands that are used for flushing tissue sites with sterile water or saline and removing blood. There are medications, which are spread over exposed organs, to coat or provide a barrier between tissue and organs for prevention of adhesions. These materials may be in gel form, sheet form, spray (liquid) form, or aerosol form to coat organs or tissues, or to provide thin layer deposition to the organs in the operative site. Some of these materials may be used in both open and minimally invasive surgical techniques.
A problem with delivering substances to anatomical surfaces in a body cavity is the inability to easily and effectively control delivery to all or a portion of the surgical field. Among the difficulties associated with spraying of liquids, is the pooling and lack of containment of the fluids used with irrigation and aspiration wands. It is also difficult to cover large areas (greater than several square centimeters), and to do so without using much more medicament than is necessary. This contributes to the cost of excessive medication, and adding to the cost and time of the surgery.
In some circumstances it may be desirable to direct aerosol to certain areas within a cavity, particularly the tissue surrounding the entry ports created in a patient's abdomen in order to insert a surgical instrument. The nozzles on many current devices are fixed in orientation with respect to the instrument shaft. As a result, the caregiver must manipulate the shaft to direct the aerosol. This is problematic if the aerosol needs to be directed backward towards the entry point of the shaft, since the end of the shaft is outside the patient, and would need to be positioned in the cavity in order to direct the aerosol towards the inside of the entry port. It may also be problematic during open surgery in circumstances where the spray needs to be directed towards a target site that faces away from the surgical opening, or that is obstructed by an anatomical structure or instrumentation. Although some devices are capable of generating radial aerosol patterns, none are capable of directing an aerosol directly backwards towards the devices point of entry into a surgical cavity.
While some devices have a deflectable tip that allows the user to aim the aerosol, they rely on designs that require a mechanical linkage to bend a hinged tip. These are likely expensive to manufacture due to the mechanical complexity involved.
The spray particles produced by current delivery devices are often quite large and have a high exit velocity from the nozzle. As a result, they have a high inertia due to their relatively large mass and the speed with which they exit the aerosol generation nozzle. The particles tend to travel in a straight line and immediately impact upon the surface in front of them, creating an inertial deposition pattern. In addition, aerodynamic factors cause these larger particles to fall more rapidly than a smaller aerosol. This creates a gravity dependent deposition pattern which preferentially coats the lower surfaces of the cavity. This is problematic when a uniform, even deposition of aerosol is required on the top, bottom, and sides of the surgical cavity. Finally, the large and rapidly moving particles may cause trauma if the nozzle is positioned too close to sensitive tissue.
During a minimally invasive surgical procedure within a body cavity or lumen it may not be possible or convenient to visually determine the location and direction of the aerosol generation nozzle. As a result it may be difficult to determine which part of the cavity the aerosol is directed at. It may also be difficult to systematically manipulate the aerosol nozzle in a pattern that creates a uniform deposition of aerosol on all cavity surfaces.
In order to address the deficiencies in the prior art, a system and method of controllably applying a substance to a body cavity for the purpose of treating or coating tissues and/or organs, and for use in the minimally invasive surgical procedures is described. The term "substance", as used in this specification, includes, without limitation, a liquid, powder, gas, light, such as laser or ultraviolet (UV) light, or any combination thereof. The term "body cavity", as used in this specification, includes without limitation, body cavities created through introduction of a gas into the body, as well as naturally occurring cavities in the body or organs in the body. According to a first aspect of the invention, a system for manipulating a catheter for delivering a substance to a body cavity of a patient is disclosed comprising a catheter having at least one lumen where the proximal end of the catheter is configured to receive a substance intended for delivery to a body cavity. A distal end of the catheter includes a flexible tip biased in a pre-shaped orientation. An introducer apparatus for guiding the catheter includes a body defining a bore sized to receive the catheter, and a catheter adjustment mechanism releasably connectable with the catheter. The catheter adjustment mechanism is movable relative to the body of the introducer apparatus and is manually adjustable to control at least one of rotational and axial movement of the catheter relative to the body of the introducer apparatus.
According to another aspect of the invention, a method for manipulating a catheter for delivery of a substance to a body cavity is disclosed. The method includes inserting an introducer apparatus into a body cavity through a boundary of the body cavity and introducing a catheter into the body cavity through the introducer, wherein the catheter comprises a distal portion having a nozzle positioned on a flexible tip biased in a predetermined shape. The catheter is axially moved with respect to the introducer apparatus such that the predetermined shape of the flexible tip is altered and such that an angle of the nozzle is altered from an original angle. The catheter shaft is rotated with respect to a first portion of the introducer apparatus through rotation of a second portion of the introducer apparatus operably connected with the catheter shaft so that a rotational orientation of the nozzle in the body cavity is altered. Also, a substance is provided to the body cavity through the catheter.
Referring to
The introducer needle 18 may be any of a number of types of known needles, such as a Verres needle having a spring loaded retractable portion 34 that retracts into an insertion shaft 36, or other introducing devices. The valve 24 may be a ball valve or any other valve suitable to seal off the end of the introducer apparatus 22 upon removal of the catheter 16, and that can releasably connect to the adaptor 32. The adaptor may be any of a number of adaptors, such as a Touhy-Borst adaptor, suitable for connecting different portions of catheter tubing together. The adapter 32 may include any number of adjustable of fixed sealing arrangements configured so that enough friction is maintained against the outside of the catheter to permit rotational positioning of the catheter by the introducer apparatus 22 in an accurate and repeatable manner, while allowing for longitudinal movement of the catheter through the introducer. Also, the adapter 32 may maintain a seal around the outside of the catheter sufficient to prevent fluid from leaking from the introducer back toward the proximal end of the catheter. The valve 24, introducer apparatus 22 and introducer needle 18 are all preferably sized to cooperate and form a central bore sized to receive a catheter or other tubing assembly.
In other embodiments, as shown in
The catheter 16 consists of a tapered section 38 toward the distal end and a proximal portion 40 accessible for axial adjustment of the catheter. The proximal portion 40 connects with a catheter hub 42 positioned into a catheter gas port 44 and a catheter liquid port 46. The proximal portion 40 of the catheter 16 includes one or more catheter markings 48. The catheter markings are spaced apart at even intervals in one embodiment. Catheter markings 48 may be spaced apart at uneven intervals in other embodiments. The catheter markings may consist of bands of the same or different colors, may include indicia indicative of an insertion depth or orientation of the distal end of the catheter, or may consist of one or more different texture regions. The texture regions may be uniform or may consist of differing shapes or configurations (e.g. raised or recessed regions). Any of a number of other forms of indicia is also contemplated.
In one embodiment, the pre-shaped tip 14 of the catheter 16 is curved or angled such that retraction of the catheter 16 through the needle 18 by pulling on the proximal portion 40 will cause the pre-shaped tip 14 to change its angle orientation. Referring to
The catheter 16 may be constructed with a single lumen or multiple lumens. In multiple lumen arrangements, one or more of the lumens may be dedicated to a nebulizing gas and the other of the lumens may be dedicated to carrying a liquid or other substance. Although a catheter is shown in
The catheter may be formed of any of a number of flexible materials, such as a nylon. A shaped spring wire or other type of resilient reinforcing shaft may be inserted or embedded in the full catheter shaft and/or tip area to create the intended shape. Alternatively, the polymer or catheter material may be selected and manufactured to impart a resilient shape or curve without the need for a reinforcing member. One suitable type of catheter adaptable for use in the system 10 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,964,223, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
An alternative embodiment of the system of
Unlike the embodiment of
Another embodiment of a system 100 for manipulating a catheter or other tube to deliver a substance to a body cavity is shown in
The system 100 includes the catheter 102 with a "Y" port assembly 104 having a liquid port 106 and a gas port 108. The liquid and gas ports are connected to lumens extending to the nozzle 109 at the pre-shaped tip 110 of the catheter. An introducer needle 112 or other sheath is provided to introduce the catheter into a body cavity or lumen. The proximal end of the introducer needle 112 is connected to the manipulation apparatus 114. The proximal end of the catheter shaft enters the manipulation apparatus 114 through an entry port 116 and extends through to the distal end of the manipulation apparatus 114 where it continues through the introducer needle 112. The manipulation apparatus 114 includes a knob 118 that may be rotated by a user. Rotation of the knob 118 results in rotation of a boss 120 and gear 122. Rotation of the boss 120 results in circular movement of an offset pin 124 positioned with a slot 126 of a gear rack 128. Movement of the offset pin 124 within the slot 126 causes a reciprocal longitudinal movement of the gear rack 130. The teeth of the gear rack 130 engage and rotate a rotational positioner gear 132 permanently attached to, or integrally formed with, the catheter shaft. Rotational movement of this gear causes the catheter shaft and nozzle to rotate up to 360 degrees in alternate clockwise and counterclockwise directions, thereby directing the aerosol exiting the tip 110 in a spiral or helical pattern. A position indicator tab 134 located on the gear rack 130 corresponds to the rotational position of the catheter tip. This tab 134 may be visualized through a transparent section of housing 135 or, in other embodiments, may extend through a slot in the housing to allow convenient visualization. For convenience and illustration purposes, a top portion of the housing has been omitted so that the gear mechanism is clearly shown. Once fully assembled, the entire gear assembly with the exception of the knob 118 may be fully enclosed. Alternatively, as mentioned above, the position indicator tab 134 and tab 146 may be visualized through a transparent portion of a housing or may extend through an opening in the housing.
Rotation of the knob 118 also results in rotation of the pinion gear 122 that is attached to the input knob shaft 136. The pinion gear 122 engages and rotates a spare gear 138 that is attached to, or formed integrally with, a shaft 140 or worm gear 142 assembly. Rotation of the worm gear 142 causes longitudinal movement of a worm follower 144 and indicator 146. The indicator 146, similar to the position indicator 134 may be visually apparent through a transparent section of the housing or may extend through a slot in the housing to allow convenient visualization. The output connection 148 with a sliding seal perceives the catheter positioner 150 that extends coaxially through the output connection sleeve.
A fixed, or spring-loaded retractable, sheath may be coaxially located between the catheter and introducer needle, or other introducer device. This sheath may be rotationally and/or axially movable in relation to the introducer device. The spiral screw apparatus illustrated in
In another alternative embodiment, as shown in
All of the above embodiments may be used with a variety of types of catheter spray nozzles, including, without limitation, non-pneumatic spray nozzles and other pneumatic or pressurized propellant assisted designs such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,642,730; 6,079,413; and 5,964,223, wherein the entirety of each of these references is herein incorporated by reference. Nozzle design capable of producing non-conical spray patterns, and the manipulation features that have been discussed above, may be synergistically combined with the various spray nozzle patterns to produce and facilitate controlled, shaped spray deposition patterns that can be optimized for various medical indications, procedures or anatomical applications.
One example of an alternate nozzle arrangement is illustrated in
Unlike the individual tube designs of
The multiple liquid lumen or tube configurations for the catheter can be used in simultaneous or consecutive delivery plans. For example, in one application, a catheter with multiple liquid lumens can be used so that a first substance is delivered to one region in the body and the catheter is then manipulated so that the catheter can next deliver a different substance to a second region in the body without the need to use separate catheters. Alternatively, the multi liquid lumen catheter can also be used for consecutive delivery of substances to the same region in the body. As an example, a physician may wish to clean the region before applying a treatment. In this instance, a cleaning substance, such as a saline solution, may be delivered through a first lumen to wash the target region and a second substance may be delivered through a second liquid lumen to apply the desired treatment. As mentioned previously, the multiple lumens can be used to simultaneously deliver substances, e.g. binary solutions, so that the mixture is aerosolized and delivered at desired times and in the desired amount. Alternatively, one of the lumens may be used to remove a substance from the body cavity by application of a negative pressure at the proximal end of the catheter.
The pre-shaped catheter may be straight, flexibly jointed or curved. A version of a pre-shaped catheter with a straight shape 292 is shown in
Nozzles on the catheters may be tapered or untapered. In some cases, it may be desirable to select a nozzle configuration, gas and/or liquid supply pressure and flow to produce a particle size and inertia to maximize local impaction. In other cases it may be desirable to minimize local impaction and instead create a "fogging" effect.
In other embodiments, as shown in
In one preferred embodiment, a second position limiting device 264 is also provided. The second position limiting device 264 is located on the shaft of the nebulization catheter 248 proximally from the first limiting device 250. The second position limiting device 264 may be formed of resilient wings formed of a material such as plastic or metal that extend radially outward from the shaft. The second (or proximal) position limiting device 264 helps keep the distal portion of the catheter 248 from contacting tissue surrounding the body cavity or lumen.
Various types of sources of substances are contemplated for use with the embodiments discussed above. In mulitilumen embodiments, any of a number of known pump systems may be connected to the proximal ends of the catheter to supply dry or liquid substances. One example of an arrangement for supplying doses of a dry substance may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,719,960, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. As shown in
In the various embodiments above, the orientation may be determined from graduated markings or other indicia in the proximal portion of the catheter shaft. As discussed above, graduated markings indicating insertion depths of the catheter may be included. In addition, the catheter shaft may be marks to indicate the rotational orientation of the catheter tip. Such markings may be in the form of longitudinally oriented marks along the proximal portion of the catheter shaft. These marks, as with the longitudinal insertion depth marks described above, may be of the same or different colors, at even or uneven spacings, in various textures or geometric shapes, or any of a number of other visual, tactile, electronic or other formats. Additionally, or independently, the distal portion of the catheter, intended to be positioned in the body cavity, may also incorporate materials or markings designed to be visible to ultrasonic, X-ray or other types of imaging equipment. These may include radial-opaque polymer blends, inks, metal markers, or texture services designed to reflect ultrasonic energy. In some embodiments, a fiber optic cable incorporated in or running parallel to the catheter may be used to visualize from outside the body cavity the specific target receiving treatment.
Although an aerosolized substance comprising a medicine has primarily been discussed with respect to the above-embodiments, the system of the present invention may be used to manipulate an instrument or catheter tip to deliver a light or other electromagnetic treatment, or to deliver a directed stream of therapeutic gas, powder, foam, gel or other form of substance. Additionally, while the examples provided above discuss insertion into a body cavity through an abdominal wall, the system may be used for applying substance to any natural or artificially created anatomical cavity, lumen or hollow organ.
Elements of this invention pertaining to remote directional and positional control of an aerosol generation nozzle may also be applied to other probe or catheter-type surgical devices that deliver focused streams of gasses, plasmas, foams, gels, powders, or liquids or energy beams through a directional nozzle, orifice, lumen, lens, aperture or directional generation source in which remote directional control of the output is desirable. It is contemplated that elements of this invention pertaining to the directional of positional control of a stream or cone of material energy may be utilized in multifunction surgical instruments that combine aerosol delivery with other surgical capabilities including, but not limited to, cutting, oblation, cauterization, biopsies, freezing, suturing or closing incisions. It is also contemplated that other devices, aside from an introducer needle may be used to guide a catheter or other tube into a body cavity, for example endoscopes, surgical ports, and so on. These other types of probe or catheter-type devices may utilize other methods of aerosol generation, including, without limitation, vibratory, ultrasonic, pneumatic and electro-hydraulic methods.
As discussed above, a method and apparatus for creating a medicated atmosphere in an organ or body cavity has been disclosed. The method permits a controlled application of a substance, for example via creation of an aerosol cloud, allowing for the deposition of a substance comprising a medicament on all or a selected number of interior surfaces. The system comprises a tube or aerosolization catheter that can be manipulated during use and an introduction device for the introduction and manipulation, rotation and/or longitudinal positioning, of the tube or aerosolization catheter. The method includes inserting the tube or catheter into a body cavity and adjusting an angle or orientation of the exit end of the tube or catheter so that a substance provided to the tube or catheter will be controllably applied to the body cavity.
It is intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting, and that it be understood that the following claims, including all equivalents, are intended to define the scope of this invention.

President Obama hadn't yet finished his Middle East policy speech this afternoon before his Democratic supporters had begun describing it as not only highly supportive of Israel but consistent with the policies enunciated by President George W. Bush.
Bush became the first U.S. president to endorse a Palestinian state, but he coupled his endorsement with demands that any Palestinian state must eschew terrorism and embrace democracy. He also formally declared in a 2004 letter to then prime minister Ariel Sharon that any peace agreement must take into account the changes on the ground that had taken place since June 1967 when Israel came into possession of the West Bank and unified Jerusalem during the course of a defensive war. That letter was recognition of the fact that Israel would never retreat from Jerusalem or from the major settlement blocs where most of the Jewish population in the territories lived. In return, Sharon moved to withdraw completely from Gaza and some parts of the West Bank.
Democrats and other Obama supporters are interpreting Obama's decision to state explicitly that any future peace agreement must be based on the 1967 borders with mutually agreed territorial swaps as being largely equivalent to Bush's pledge. But that is a complete misreading of the president's speech.
What Bush did was to put the Palestinians and the rest of the world on notice that the United States would back Israel's desire to hold onto Jerusalem and the settlements in the context of real peace. This strengthened Israel's negotiating position as it made it clear that any demands for a compete surrender of the West Bank and Jerusalem were off the table.
What Obama has done is something radically different.
Establishing the 1967 lines as the near-sacred starting point for negotiations means that rather than Israel's presence in Jerusalem and in parts of the territories being treated as a given, the Jewish state will have to fight for this land in the context of peace talks where its presence there has already been branded as illegitimate. Just like his previous demands for unilateral Israeli concessions such as the settlement freeze, Obama's endorsement of the 1967 lines means no Palestinian negotiator will ever agree to Israel holding onto an inch of land in Jerusalem or the West Bank. Obama's embrace of the 1967 borders will also make it easier, not harder, to win United Nations approval of a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state without peace talks or recognition of Israel. Even worse, his statement will buttress the efforts of those who will argue after such a resolution is passed that Israel's presence in Jerusalem and the territories is illegal.
Although no American government has ever formally recognized Israel's right to hold onto territory won in June 1967, Obama's embrace of the '67 lines (like the his previous condemnation of Jewish building in Jerusalem as illegal) is unprecedented. It tilts the diplomatic playing field even further in the direction of the Palestinians. Though he, and his supporters, insist that his speech will help Israel and ensure its future, he has done nothing of the kind.

Releford was pushing the ball on a fast break, as freshman forward Jamari Traylor filled the lane on his left. But Releford said he saw Adams counting his steps for a block and decided to go after him.

Seeking Assistance in Locating Terrorist Daniel Andreas San Diego
November 17th 2011 · 0 Comments
The FBI in Boston and San Francisco are asking the public's assistance in locating Daniel Andreas San Diego, a fugitive on the FBI's "Most Wanted Terrorist" list who may be hiding in western Massachusetts.
The FBI received a tip that San Diego may be in the Northampton, Massachusetts area. The FBI is offering a reward for up to $250,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of San Diego.
San Diego, who was the first domestic terrorism suspect added to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list on April 21, 2009, is wanted for his alleged involvement in two bombings in the San Francisco, California area.
On August 28, 2003, two bombs exploded approximately one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville, Calif. Then, on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton, Calif.
A federal arrest warrant was issued for San Diego in October 2003. However, he disappeared before he could be taken into custody. San Diego is six feet tall, weighs about 160 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. He wears glasses and is known to carry a 9mm handgun.

CLEMSON — Tajh Boyd didn't blink.
Not when No. 11 Clemson gave up 24 unanswered points to N.C. State on Saturday before a suddenly silent crowd of 76,000 at Death Valley; not when asked after a 62-48 victory if all the Tigers' glitzy numbers deflate without success next week.
"We haven't beaten this team in the last three years," Clemson's record-breaking quarterback said of arch-rival South Carolina, due in town Saturday night. "It's one of those things where I think it's a must-win situation."
There is a lot to like about the 10-1 Tigers.
But little to love if they don't get to 11-1 by snapping a rare three-game series skid against the Gamecocks.
Clemson looks Sugar Bowl-good on paper.
Gobs of points every Atlantic Coast Conference game.
Stars at every skill position.
But, quick, name the best win.
Clemson, with a loss to the No. 12 Gamecocks and a Chick-Fil-A Bowl victory would be one of the most heartbroken 11-win teams in college football history.
It's hard for a team to work its way into this paradoxical hybrid of BCS bowl contender/desperation mode. Such is the fragility of a glossy record without a win over a ranked team.
But the momentum surges in the N.C. State game showed how alternately powerful and vulnerable Clemson rolls.
Adversity test
South Carolina is way better than a Wolfpack team that opened with a loss to Tennessee, and a few weeks ago suffered a 33-6 loss to Virginia.
But N.C. State (6-5) did manage to defeat No. 10 Florida State and got Clemson's attention with a 24-13 lead in the second quarter.
"It's the first time we've faced adversity in a while and I think it speaks a lot about this team and the character," Clemson center Dalton Freeman said. "I was pleased. I mean, we needed it. It was really good for us to face some adversity and overcome it."
The Tigers are better than at this time last season, or than earlier this season.
Boyd has become a polished running threat, fresh from his first 100-yard performance.
"A hundred yards rushing is probably my most proud moment," Boyd said with a grin. "I've been wanting to get that for a while."
Boyd was not sacked.
"Last week, Maryland was leading the league in sacks and we didn't give up any sacks," Freeman said. "This week, N.C. State was leading the league in sacks, and we didn't give up any sacks. I'm very proud of all the guys."
Nice trend going into a game against The Jadeveon Clowney Show.
Ford and Beasley
Hanahan's Brandon Ford (two more touchdowns) has established himself as one of the top tight ends in college football.
The pass rush doesn't kick in until Clemson's offense makes foes one-dimensional, but sophomore defensive end Vic Beasley had three sacks against N.C. State (the Tigers had three sacks or less in eight games this season). Beasley leads the Tigers with eight sacks this season.
Now if Clemson can shore up special teams defense that allowed N.C. State's Tobias Palmer 277 kickoff yards.
Gamecock kick returners reportedly offered to run all the way to Clemson late Saturday night.
Ten wins, a 62-point game and still suspect until officially Sugar Bowl worthy.
"We just want to see if we can get this BCS bid," Ford said. "But we have to take care of next week."

As the morning sun rises over the Old Baylor Park in Independence, the old oak trees wait patiently to cast their giant shadows on springs newest arrivals.
The sky starts to turn a shade of pink you only seem to find here in the Lone Star State and millions of bluebonnets prepare to stand at attention.
This is spring and for Washington County it's one of the best times of the year.
"The wildflowers this year are not going to disappoint anyone," said Seneca McAdams with the Washington County Visitors and Convention Bureau.
McAdams has been through several springs and this one is definitely different.
"We have some flowers coming up that are spectacular, some that we've never seen before," said McAdams.
"God's creation is just beautiful," said visitor Allen Moyer.
Moyer and his wife came all the way from Beaumont to see the sights in a unique way. A bicycle built for two.
"You really can't see it in a car going down a highway 70 miles an hour. If you get on a bicycle, it's just amazing how you slow down and you can really see the country side," said Moyer.
The wildflowers are so impressive, mockingbirds seem to fight over the best seats in the house.
"They're incredible," said visitor Rosalie Glenn.
Glenn made the short trip from College Station to get a look at these Texas treasure.
"We'll do pictures and we'll look around. It's an annual trip that we do every year," said Glenn.
Whether it's bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes, black-eyed susans, or the Texas storksbill, there is a shade for everyone and it's something everyone should see.
"This is what Texas is all about," said McAdams.
The best part about the wildflower season is it's completely free to go check them out. Old Baylor Park in Independence and Washington On The Brazos are a few of the top places in Washington County to check out this years crop.
For more information on the wildflowers, we've got a link to Washington County's website below.

I saw one specifically for a full celiac panel... He tested like two things out of the whole panel I requested. They were negative, but I'm not convinced. I just went to a different doctor to get the test and I'm not sure what she tested.. But I asked if it would be the FULL celiac panel, including the the one that starts with D(I had it written down) and she never gave me a yes or no answer... She went on and said that the blood tests don't diagnose it, the biopsy would. She made it seem like I would get an endoscopy if the tests were negative, so I am happy about that.. But really... How hard is it to do a FULL celiac panel!?!? Testing only a few things leads me to not believing those tests..
How Do You Find A Doctor With The Right Tests!?

Hi taynichaf,
It's me again.
In your city is it the doctor office that draws the blood and sends it to the lab?
Where I am, the doctor gives us a paper requisition and we can go to any lab we want to.
How does it work for you?
Excuse my English but that doctor is a moron.
There are several causes for damaged villi.
The point of doing the Celiac panel is to screen for Celiac and to confirm
that the flattened villi is caused by Celiac and not some other cause.
So these are the tests I did on my Celiac panel.
Total IgA
Transglutaminase IgA tTG-IgA
Deaminated Gliadin IgA DGP-IgA
Deaminated Gliadin IgG DGP-IgG
Other tests are (if available)
Transglutaminase IgG tTG-IgG
Gliadin Antibody IgA AGA-IgA
Gliadin Antibody IgG AGA-IgG
It was a while back that I had talked to my doctor as I was procastinating to get back on the gluten wagon.
I think he suggested the AGA or the tTG.
But from having read Celiac library books I knew there was more to it.
So to answer your question: I did it backwards from you.
I made a list of the tests based on what I had read in books and on the internet.
Then I looked up the 3 blood test lab companies in my city.
I searched their web site using the key word: Celiac and Celiac panel.
You may have to search for their individual test names.
For example Blood lab ABC only had one 2 test panel and were expensive.
The blood lab XYZ had 3 Celiac panels and other individual tests.
I also spoke to the hospital lab but they only did the tTG test.
I made a list of their panels and individual tests that were not on the panel.
I included their test codes when possible.
I called them and the lady on the phone sounded confused about the prices.
So I when I was in that area of their head office, I stopped by with my printouts and asked them for the prices for the tests.
One of their panels no longer existed but was still on their web site.
So that is why you have to phone them to make sure the test panel still exists and get the test code.
I wondered which of the 2 panels to do so I read on this web site
and saw I might as well do the big panel as some people test positive for one of the 3 tests.
So in conclusion:
1. Don't rely on the doctors as they don't know up from down.
2. Find out all the names of the blood labs in your city.
3. For each lab:
Make a list of the Celiac tests they offer individually and as panels.
Write down the prices for each test or panel.
Write down the test codes (very very very important)
You may have to phone them to get the prices.
Compare the prices and which lab and which test covers the most bases.
I suggest:
Total IgA
Transglutaminase IgA tTG-IgA
Deaminated Gliadin IgA DGP-IgA
Deaminated Gliadin IgG DGP-IgG
VIP: get the test code for the test panel you want from the lab you picked.
Double check on the phone or in person the code and the price for the one you finally picked.
Go to your doctor and ask for "this test panel" to be printed on your requisition form.
MAKE SURE the doctor writes down the TEST CODE you want for the panel you want.
Ask the doctor to write down "CC to patient".
After you leave the doctor's office, Photocopy the requisition in case the blood lab loses it or gets the tests mixed up.
And of course eat your gluten (pasta, whole wheat bread and white bread)
The Celiac Disease Center says you should be eating gluten for 12 weeks prior to the Celiac blood panel.
The sooner you start the sooner you can do the test.
You are paying for the blood tests so the doctor should give it to you.
The blood is coming from you and not the doctor so why won't they test you?
Let us know how it works out.
PS: please say a prayer for me,
I'm going to the gastro doctor that I've been waiting months to see for a consult .
I hope he's receptive to me. I have a lot of notes and aspergers.

I remember my doctor telling me that the blood test lab I used is also in the US so that panel I did should be available to you.

Hi taynichaf,
Here too the doctor choses the test but we get to decide which blood test lab we want to go to.
Do you get to choose the lab for your test?
Or does the insurance company say to go to lab XYZ.
If you don't get to choose the lab for your test but know the test will be done by lab XYZ find out on their web site or phone to find out:
Do they have a full Celiac panel
What test is on that panel
What is the Celiac test panel name
What is the code for that Celiac test panel.
Then when you see the doctor you give her the test code and test panel name.
A lot of us on this board had to tell our doctor which test to do or the test panel name because they don't know.
When I went gluten free my first doctor didn't want me to be tested.
Had I known what I know now about the importance of being tested
while I was half dead before going gluten free and which test to do, I would have done it then.
(2 years ago). Last week I failed the Celiac panel test.
My current doctor is a good guy but he only knew about the old AGA test.
So after my research, I gave him the test code of the panel I wanted.
He wanted to find out too and he filled in the blood test requisition with that test code.
So to answer your question in the title: you choose the test and then tell the doctor you want this test panel (with the code).
Best of luck.

Ohh! That makes sense.... For the tests i've done, I just tell the doctor that I think I have celiac disease and ask for the full panel... Then they would just find a test and i'd go get blood drawn. I shouldve tried to look up certain tests before... but I never thought I could even chose, ha. But thanks!!

I think you were saying that she didn't give you a blood test form, right?
So you still have a chance at getting a Celiac panel done.

So the doctor takes your blood in her office and sends it herself?
She doesn't give you a form and you go to the lab of your choice?
Because my doctor always give me the requisition (therefore I know what is on it) and I go to any lab.
Please ask her for a photocopy (say it's for your file in an official tone) and let us know which tests you got.

You should have run to a photocopy place, copy it and run back to the lab LOL
So many people here just get tTG, I hope you got the DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG.
