Lipomassage by Endermologie with Gunnar Peterson, personal trainer to the most famous celebrities.
At long last, an easy way to eliminate cellulite while you lose weight and tighten your skin!!
Imagine losing pounds and inches while eliminating cellulite and weight and not having to do any extra work! Or are you having trouble losing that last 5lbs? We Can Help!! Finally get rid of those love handles without any hard work!! No fad diets and no crazy exercise programs!!
Step 1 is an Endermologie®/Lipomassage® treatment. Endermologie® is the science of cellular stimulation developed by LPG in France, and backed by over 85 scientific studies, so you can be sure that this machine and the technology behind it work very well. This medical breakthrough was possible with a patented mechanism with unique rollers and a special vacuum to massage the cellulite prone areas. This fifty minute soothing massage is non-surgical, non-invasive. It's a painless procedure that improves skin circulation, contours the body, and reduces the appearance of cellulite. The process stimulates a part of the cell called the fibroblast. The job of the fibroblast is to make collagen and elastin. These two cell types are connective tissue, so we are increasing your skin's collagen. This will help eliminate that dimpling or "cottage cheese" appearance that cellulite causes. Plus with the Lipomassage® technique we can spot reduce and recontour your body to give you the body you've always wanted, or just improve on what you have!
Lipomassage® addresses the trapped fat. This is the fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. No amount of dieting or exercise will get to and eliminate that fat as we have all experienced. The stimulation by the machine boosts the metabolism of the fat cells, and activates lipolysis, which is the breakdown and release of stored fat. This will also release toxins because the body will store toxins in fat! We can release that resistant, stored fat so you can lose weight and detoxify your body! In fact, Endermologie® is so effective it is used pre and post liposuction. This procedure will help the lipo go smoother for the surgeon and for you!! And after lipo, Endermologie® will reduce and eliminate any lumpiness that often occurs.
This machine works so well that Gunnar Peterson, "Trainer to the Stars" uses it on his clients! His clients include J – Lo, Sylvester Stallone, Penelope Cruz and Angelina Jolie just to name a few. He states, "Lipomassage® is something that is going to accelerate your transformation" and "You see results in a relatively short time." He continues, " Results that come quickly and results that last." Our experience has been just that! Most all our patients see results after just a few treatments, and their results are long lasting!!
Step 2 is a session in our Infrared Sauna! This is a specific kind of sauna that will burn up to 900 calories in only a half hours time. It's about the equivalent of running 2 miles. The sauna is also good for enhancing detox as well. As we stated, toxins will store in fat, so the sauna will "liquefy" the fat so it can be released along with all the toxins. This action will also help eliminate cellulite! So the sauna will help you to lose weight, eliminate cellulite, detoxify, decrease and eliminate pain, improve cardiovascular function and decrease blood pressure and stress. In fact the sauna works so well, it was endorsed by Dr. Oz of Oprah fame.
We have an unbeatable combination to get the results you want and deserve! Imagine how good you'll look wearing all the things you want to but don't, and how good you'll feel when you hit the beach or pool and all the eyes are on you!! That's the feeling we can help you achieve by helping to give you the body you want and desire!!
To see how we can help you and if you can be helped by Lipomassage® and Infrared Sauna,
call 561-353-1945 for a FREE consultation!

Report: Britney Spears songs used to scare off Somali pirates
What can scare away Somali pirates best? No, not weapons or threats.
Britney Spears.
That's right. Spears' music works better than other tactics, according to Metro.
Metro says Merchant Navy Officer Rachel Owens revealed Spears' music is blared loudly to deter pirate kidnap attacks off the east coast of Africa.
Which songs proved most effective? Opps! I Did it Again and Baby One More Time.
"Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most. These guys can't stand Western culture or music, making Britney's hits perfect," said Owens, who works on supertankers off the east coast of Africa.
There were 176 pirate attacks in 2011 close to the African coast, according to the site.
"It's so effective the ship's security rarely needs to resort to firing guns," said Owens. "As soon as the pirates get a blast of Britney, they move on as quickly as they can."
"Pirates will go to any lengths to avoid or try to overcome the music," said Steven Jones, of the Security Association for the Maritime Industry. "I'd imagine using Justin Bieber would be against the Geneva Convention."

The College of Eastern Utah baseball team has really been picking up the pace as of lately. The Eagles displayed their talent before a hometown crowd last weekend as the team hosted the Utah State University club team. The Eagles dominated the field by sweeping the Aggies 3-0.
The weekend kicked off with the Eagles defeating the Aggies 11-2. The victory would lead to good things to come for the Eagles who stepped out onto the field Saturday filled with confidence and determination.
The first of the double header games found the Eagles ahead early in the game. The momentum seemed to be in favor of the Eagles, ending in CEU's 13-3 victory.
The Eagles took advantage of the struggling Aggie team to send USU home without a victory. The Eagles defeated the Aggies 15-5 in the last game of the series.
Eagles catcher Derek Waddoups had a tremendous series for CEU, with several big hits. Along with Waddoups, Eric Turnbow and Gary Larson also had a good series at bat against the Aggies.
The Eagles season started off rocky for the team, but as the year progresses, so does the Eagles. The team has overcome several obstacles and find themselves on a winning streak.
The hitting and pitching have improved since the beginning of the season, and this has allowed the team to become a solid competitor in the Scenic West Athletic Conference.
Currently, the Eagles SWAC record is only 5-11, but these numbers should improve quickly, with the teams new burst of energy.
The Eagles will once again play at home this weekend as the Bruins from Salt Lake Community College visit. Although the Bruins have quite a large lead in the SWAC standing over the Eagles, with a 13-7 record, the Eagles have the talent to take down SLCC.
The Eagles will once again fly high as the games get underway at 1:00 p.m Friday afternoon and 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Bruins better come equipped to battle the fight at bat in which the Eagles have been victorious at in recent weeks.

Digital Photography Expert Techniquesby Ken Milburn
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Ready to take digital imaging to the professional level? This advanced strategy book offers expert advice to help you become more competent in your work routine, but it is not your ordinary workflow book. Through step-by-step procedures based on hard-nosed experience, professional photographer Ken Milburn covers much more than image management. His updated edition describes a complete workflow sequence that begins with essential photographic equipment and digital darkroom setup, and ends once finished images are in albums, exhibits, web sites, or publications. Milburn's goal is to make your work routine as efficient as possible, whether you're a working professional or a passionate amateur.
Digital Photography: Expert Techniques takes you through several high-efficiency production techniques, from non-destructive editing (adjustments to RAW photo files that don't change or destroy any of the pixels in the original image) to destructive techniques with Photoshop CS 2, such as changing the number, location, brightness and color of the individual pixels. All the while, Milburn emphasizes minimizing destructive edits and always maintaining the ability to back to early stages. This new edition offers: The first book to fully address non-destructive, start-to-finish, layered workflow; including learning to take advantage of Camera Raw's non-destructive image adjustments and adjustment layers. Each chapter begins with a summary on how the chapter fits the workflow and why. Every exercise begins with side-by-side before-and-after photos. Get a visual idea of what you will accomplish before taking the time to read. Learn to eliminate useless images and maximize image preservation, organization, and distribution.
Milburn's book features a preview of Adobe Lightroom, the beta application that helps you view, sort, and rank images quickly. You'll also learn advanced techniques with Photoshop CS 2 and Photoshop Elements, though this isn' t a typical Photoshop how-to book. Milburn's workflow strategy includes everything you must do before, during, and after the editing process to ensure that high-production jobs are done professionally with a minimum of frustration. With Digital Photography: Expert Techniques, you'll become a better (and more profitable) photographer.
Book News Annotation:
An award-winning photographer/digital artist/Photoshop expert begins this update of the 2004 edition for serious photographers by defining the buzzword "workflow" as "an integrated process of creating a finished photograph that starts with an idea and ends by being shown or passed on to other people." Milburn's core concept of nondestructive workflow refers to keeping retouching and special effects filters in separate layers within the same file. He emphasizes techniques to take the best possible shot to work with rather than focusing solely on Photoshop or the software alternatives described. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

|It's a
|Articles on illegal behaviour
September 11, 2001 was the day that the main two buildings of the World Trade Center in New York City and part of the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C. were destroyed by three passenger airliners hijacked by terrorists from the Islamist militant group Al-Qaeda. A fourth hijacked passenger airliner, which was intended to strike the United States Capitol[citation needed], crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The death toll has been established at 2,996 people, including the 19 hijackers, making it the worst terrorist attack in United States history.
|Some dare call it
|Secrets revealed!
|The revealers
While the international community condemned the attacks, some Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East viewed them as part of a legitimate jihad.[1] As a result of 9/11, the United States invaded Afghanistan to destroy Al-Qaeda and hunt down its leader Osama bin Laden. Its military subsequently occupied that country until December 2014, making it the longest war in U.S. history.
Sadly, 9/11 has become a magnet for conspiracy theorists.
[edit] What really happened
The story as pieced together by government and civilian authorities was that 9/11 was a followup to the failed Bojinka plot, created by al-Qaeda under the auspices of founder Osama bin Laden. On the morning of September 11, 19 men, mostly from Saudi Arabia, hijacked four planes out of Boston, New York City, and Washington, DC, and without giving away their intentions redirected the planes on kamikaze missions towards four American landmarks on the east coast — the Twin Towers of the WTC in New York, the Pentagon, and an unknown fourth location theorized by some to have been the White House or the Capitol building (the last plane was brought down through passenger interference, in an open field outside of Shanksville). The attacks resulted in the complete collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers in New York City (now known as Ground Zero) and heavy damage to one side of the Pentagon,[2] and the deaths of just under 3000 people, some 400 of whom were police, firefighters (with 3/4 of the responder casualties) and EMS workers in and around New York City alone.
Later analysis showed that the World Trade Center towers, constructed as a stack of floors anchored between the building's facade and a central steel girder cage, had much of their steel structure weakened (not melted) by large amounts of burning jet fuel, a lot of which had been atomized on impact; a third tower on the site, WTC 7, was badly damaged by falling debris from the tower collapses and was on fire,[3] and collapsed several hours later of its own accord. The Pentagon, where the impact site was in an area of the building that had been recently renovated and not fully reoccupied, had heavy but highly compartmentalized damage and comparably light casualties.
The cleanup took many months, complicated by the jet fuel fire under the WTC debris and the need to recover the bodies of the dead.
[edit] Conspiracy!
In the wake of 9/11, much criticism surrounded the actions of President George W. Bush, who, after being informed of the attack, had returned to reading a children's book to a classroom in a Florida elementary school before boarding Air Force One for a complex and poorly-explained series of flights to random locations, and Vice President Dick Cheney, who was evacuated to an "undisclosed location" (which quickly became a cliché of political comedy).
Such criticism eventually gave rise to conspiracy theories, especially after Bush announced plans to intervene in Afghanistan (which at the time was harboring Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda's leadership) and later Iraq (which had no involvement at all in 9/11). This group of conspiracies, known collectively as the 9/11 "Truth" movement, makes varying assertions, most of which lay the culpability on Bush as either a plotter or enabler of the attack, and some of which implicitly or explicitly claim Jewish involvement in the attack, sometimes as part of an International Jewish conspiracy.
The late Christopher Hitchens supremely demonstrates how to deal with these pesky 9/11 Truthers.
[edit] Painful irony department
In a 2011 survey of 15- to 30-year-old men in Afghanistan's Kandahar and Helmand provinces by the International Council on Security and Development, 92% of those interviewed said that they had never heard of "this event which the foreigners call 9/11."[4]
[edit] Thirteen years later
There are 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 that are still classified; it is said that among the information contained in the documents (by those who viewed them) is which country played a role in complicity to the attacks. A bi-partisan bill, House Resolution 428, proposes to declassify these documents.[5] It would be overdue by President Obama who promised this to the victim's families back in 2008.
What's likely holding it up is the foreign policy repercussions. It should not be surprising to anyone which country it is.[6]
[edit] Other events that happened on September 11
- The Battle of Vienna[wp] was fought between 11-12 September 1683, between the Ottoman Empire and a Christian alliance led by the Holy Roman Empire. Andrew Schlafly of all people suggests that this is directly related to the events of September 2001, but fails to explain why the apparent Muslim conspiracy took 318 years to materialize. Also, why on earth would Muslims care for the Christian calendar (the same applies for most of these anniversaries listed below)
- The Battle of Brandywine[wp] was fought on this day as well. During this battle, American general George Washington nearly lost his life when a British officer named Patrick Ferguson[wp] found Washington in his sights. Luckily for the Americans, Washington was spared from being killed by Ferguson, although the Americans still lost the battle, which allowed the British to enter Philadelphia unopposed.
- The 2012 Benghazi attack, which left 4 Americans dead (including an ambassador) that day, and years of manufactroversy afterwards.
- It was on this day in 1973 that the military dictator Augusto Pinochet seized power in Chile from the democratically elected Salvador Allende. Arguably just as major an event, but hey, it was so long ago, and not in the US, so nobody cares.
- A number of people were born. It depresses many of them to have their birthday fall on the same day as the anniversary of a large-scale terrorist attack.
- Protests against World Economic Forum, at Melbourne Crown Casino, September 11-13, 2000 (known at the time as S11).
- September 11th, 1957 saw a major plutonium fire at the Rocky Flats plant in Colorado. Plutonium dust caught fire and supposedly firefighters poured water on the fire, heedless of the danger of criticality (but there was no criticality).
- The Siege of Barcelona[wp] of 1713-14 came to an end. Nowadays, Catalonians celebrate their National Day every September 11.
- William Luther Pierce, an avid Neo-Nazi, was born on 9/11, 1933.
- 21st of Ramadan, a significant Muslim holy day in commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Ali[wp], happened to be on September 11th in the year 2009.[7]

NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: GREENWICH VILLAGE; Even More Nooks to Search For Literary Bargain-Hunters
By JAKE MOONEY
Published: May 9, 2004
On a cloudy Wednesday afternoon last week, the Strand Book Store was a beehive of activity, with customers edging between tables of best sellers and obscurities, dodging red-badged employees in T-shirts and thick glasses. In the background was the sound of a power saw.
After 45 years on the corner of Broadway and 12th Street, the main space of the 77-year-old bookseller is growing by half. Above the shelves in the sections on military, crime and law, and music and dance, workers were converting the store's unused 10,500-square-foot second floor into a sprawling showplace for 250,000 art books.
''We just found that we have too much stock that we have not been able to put on display, and we want to get it out there so that people can see it,'' said Fred Bass, the 75-year-old co-owner, whose father founded the Strand in 1927 as a small shop on Fourth Avenue. ''The store gets too crowded, and we want to spread it out a little more. We felt people were getting irritated, and we were losing sales.''
On the wall separating the books from the hard hats was an array of Strand merchandise that will quite likely be headed for collectors' closets. Baseball caps, canvas bags and shirts in several colors -- as well as camouflage -- bore the store's familiar oval logo and its ''8 miles of books'' slogan.
That slogan will be replaced, Mr. Bass said, by ''16 miles of books,'' which already graces a new awning on 12th Street. But he added, ''If you really lay them out and add it up, it comes out to more than 16.''
The motto was born many years ago, he said, after the columnist George F. Will inquired about the store's shelf space. To settle on an answer, an employee walked around the store with a Texas Instruments calculator and added up the total footage.
The store has expanded steadily since its move to Broadway, although the renovation will include a paint job -- it has been many decades since the last one -- and new flooring. ''We're trying not to change the character of the store too much, but that's difficult,'' he said.
One casualty of the renovation is the store's famously grungy bathroom on the main floor, which has been lost with the addition of a new staircase and an elevator. New facilities on the second floor will replace it, and Mr. Bass predicted it would not be missed.
''It's nothing we're proud of,'' he said. ''It wasn't the best in New York.'' JAKE MOONEY

"Being a mother provided me with experience that even the best nursing schools can't teach."
In 1982, as is the case with most registered nurses, Jeanne began her career in a hospital setting. After several years, she answered the calling to become a stay-at-home mom for her three daughters.
Upon her return to the workplace, it was only natural that Jeanne would combine her passion for both medicine and childcare in an early childhood setting. The spirit and expertise that Jeanne brings to her daily work helps to provide a safe and healthy place for children to learn, grow and thrive. Her deep sense of commitment is greatly appreciated by the entire Learning Brooke family.

The Artist could have been designed by a computer to appeal to anyone who has a sense of nostalgia for movie history. (And 54 percent of Academy voters are over sixty). It is also a light, entertaining picture in which froth passes for energy, and pat ironies are made to seem intelligent. I enjoyed it, until the moment I guessed how close it was to getting Best Picture.

Sunday Prep: Read and Respond to Emails
Like us on Facebook
Something else I like to take care of while I'm on an email roll is responding to work emails and saving them in drafts to send out on Monday. I don't usually send them out on the weekend if they aren't urgent just because it's more professional to email during working hours. See more professional email rules here.
And of course, while you're reading and responding to emails, it's also good to delete the ones you don't need so you'll have a clean slate for next week.

Let us surprise you!
At an altitude of approximately 800m above sea level, the two quaint little villages of Mutters and Natters nestle side-by-side on a sunny plateau in the foothills just above Innsbruck. Although – or possibly because – the bustling town is only a few kilometres away, you will find that the area has preserved its rural charm and typical village idyll.
Mutters and Natters have a lot more to offer, besides being so conveniently close to Innsbruck. Mutters, for instance, has been voted twice already "the Tyrol's most beautiful village" – and Natters was chosen by none other than Habsburg emperor Maximilian as the site for his summer residence, Schloss Waidburg. Taking a closer look at the charms of Mutters, it becomes quite apparent what the village keeps bagging its awards for: The superbly preserved old farmhouses with their colourful display of flowers, the breathtaking views across the valley to the jagged Nordkette mountain range towering above the city of Innsbruck, all surrounded by picturesque fields and meadows, make it a jewel amidst the rugged grandeur of the mountains.
Both villages take much pride in their first-class infrastructure offering a large variety of family friendly sports and leisure options to both local outdoor fans and holiday makers. Among the many highlights are state-of-the-art lifts and cable cars that take you from Mutters up to the local landmark mountain Mutterer Alm. Also known as "adventure mountain" - for its exciting adventure playground near the summit station of the 8-seats-gondola lift - the area is an absolute hiker's paradise with many scenic trails and charming mountain huts. During winter time Mutterer Alm offers glorious family skiing, complete with ski rental and professional ski school. Sitting like a glistening gem in the heart of Natters is the Natterer See swimming lake with its multiple award-winning, 5 star camp ground (open all year). Here a wide range of outdoor sports and leisure activities is sure to keep everyone entertained throughout the year. No wonder that Natters is particularly popular with children – they simply love the professional kids entertainment programmes, in which little guests staying in Innsbruck and its holiday villages can even participate free of charge.
To savour even more local flavour, the two villages invite you to traditional village fairs, open-air marching band concerts, Tyrolean folklore nights and horse-drawn carriage rides across meadows and forests. There's also pony riding for children, bread-making demonstrations and farm visits, an outdoor pool with fun amenities for all the family (newly renovated in 2012) as well as a free hiking programme, to round off a truly memorable summer holiday.
During winter time, when the slopes of Mutterer Alm turn into a paradise for alpine skiing, you can pick your choice from a variety of additional entertaining snow sports. With fun options such as tobogganing or cross-country skiing, there is absolutely no time to get bored in the cold season.
Excellent public transport links – we particularly recommend a ride on the attractive Stubaitalbahn tram – bring also the bustling city life of nearby Innsbruck within easy reach - so that your stay in Mutters, or Natters, leaves absolutely nothing to be desired.
"Innsbruck all inclusive" is the motto. Innsbruck places all bets on one card!

Every grape from Kestrel View Estate is tended to and intended to, be blended into our Signature Series in a First Growth Bordeaux House Mentality. This presents the perfect canvas to create and design a multiple tiered system. From the Signature Series and Winemaker's Select Series our premier fruit can then be declassified to our Falcon Series; wines Flint builds at an everyday price point. With the Falcon Series, our consumers can purchase full varietals, or our Tribute blend for around fifteen to twenty dollars.
Notes from Robert Parker:
"The 2010 Raptor Red Signature Series is an outstanding blend of 71% Caberent Sauvignon and 29% Malbec, Showing beautiful purity, with ample cassis, plum liqueur, pepper, ground herbs and chardcoal styled aromas and flavors all emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, layered and nicely concentrated, with fresh acisity and a pure, clean feel, enjoy bottles over the coming decade." Read the full wine description »
Raptor Red is our flagship wine. This particular vintage we created this fine wine by choosing the nine best barrels from our cellar. We choose three barrels of Petite Verdot from Olsen Vineyards, three barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon from Olsen Vineyards and three barrels of Cabernet Franc from Olsen Vineyards. In 2011 we felt that this blend represented the finest Kestrel has to offer. Read the full wine description »
Notes from Robert Parker:
"Made from 93% Petit Verdot and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Petit Verdot Signature Series is a big, voluptuous and fruit-driven effort that offers up loads of boysenberry, blueberry, licorice, underbrush and sappy flower-like aromas and flavors. This full-bodied, rich and decadently styled effort has a big mid-palate, fabulous texture and solid overall freshness and purity. Aged 22 months in 30% new oak, it will have 12 to 15 years of longevity." Read the full wine description »
One hundred percent of the fruit came from Old Vines. The Merlot from our Estate Vineyard was planted in 1972, making the vines some of the oldest in Washington State. The grapes were hand harvested and carefully sorted, removing any defective fruit, leaves, or stems. It was then destemmed and crushed into open top fermenters, where it was punched down, twice daily to extract the maximum color and flavor.
After the initial fermentation it was pressed to small French Oak barrels where it matured for 22 months. We believe Washington Merlot to be world class, and ours is a great example of that. Read the full wine description »
Our Port is created in the vineyard by reducing the crop to one cluster per shoot. The fruit is then allowed to ripen as long as possible.
The color is almost black, with a very thin garnet ring. In the nose you will be greeted with aromas of sweet cherries, chocolate, elderberry, plum jam, licorice, figs, and dried fruits. For me it is oddly reminiscent of brandy soaked fruit cake. The natural sweetness preserved from the grapes is balanced by the brandy. The result is a long powerful finish. Perfect for an after dinner drink, or just by the fire, on a cold winter night.

Many of Denver's Game 2 adjustments will be trying to reduce the damage Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook inflicted, scoring a combined 72 points on 25-of-45 shooting.
Thunder notebook: Denver focused on stopping Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook
Questions already have surfaced as to whether the tandem can be stopped.
"Can you stop anybody in this league?" Denver forward Kenyon Martin asked Monday. "No. You can contain them. They made tough shots. They're two great players. They're one of the highest scoring tandems in this league. They made tough shots. They made contested 3s. If Russell Westbrook is making contested 3s then you tilt your hat, pat him on his ass and go down the other way."
The Nuggets will focus on turning Durant and Westbrook into passers on Wednesday.
Denver coach George Karl said any adjustments will be slight. He isn't planning to overreact to two great individual performances.
"Let me whisper this," Karl said. "I don't think Durant and Westbrook are going to get (72) points in four games."
Durant cautioned Monday the Thunder has yet to accomplish anything with a Game 1 win over Denver.
"This series could go either way," Durant said. "We (saw) that last year. We were down 2-0 and tied the series up when we came back home. I think we did what we're supposed to do. Any team with home-court advantage is supposed to win the first game."
Prior to Game 1, Martin gave his frontcourt mate a pep talk.
He told center Nene the Thunder couldn't guard him. The only thing OKC could try to do, Martin said, was frustrate him.
Martin must be some kind of motivational speaker. Nene poured in a team-high 22 points on 9-for-11 shooting along with a team-high tying eight rebounds. In the four-game regular season series, Nene averaged 15.5 points and 8.8 rebounds against the Thunder.
"He came out and took it to heart and we did an excellent job of finding him under the defense," Martin said. "They can't guard him. He's too quick, too strong. They might try to body him up but he can go around them. So the only thing they can do is try to frustrate him."

I feel the general consensus that rigid functional orthotic devices and associated conservative treatments resolve plantar fasciitis 90% of the time has held up with the test of time. I have had patients bring in custom devices that have failed through the years and those devices have been flexible or narrow or devices that lack a deep heel seat,rearfoot post or were used in shoes that were not the appropriate style or fit to allow the foot establish a windlass mechanism, or involve a foot that is not capable of re-establishing a windlass mechanism due to genetic, traumatic or iatrogenic influences.
The necessity of proper casting techniques as well as prescribing principles goes without saying.

Synonym: systemic mast cell disease (SMCD)
Mast cells are found in the perivascular spaces of most tissues and contain pro-inflammatory and vasoactive mediators. These mediators are released after IgE receptor cross-linking induced by allergens or other stimuli.[1] Mast cell disorders may involve:
- Either excessive proliferation of mast cells (mastocytosis).
- Normal numbers of cells but abnormal reactivity.
The excess release of mediators can cause clinical features such as pruritus, flushing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, vascular instability and anaphylaxis. Also, complications may arise when mast cells accumulate in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.[2] The clinical features of systemic mastocytosis are caused by accumulation of clonally derived mast cells in different tissues, including bone marrow, skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver and spleen. Systemic mastocytosis is now classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm.[3]
Classification of mast cell disorders
The World Health Organization (WHO) classification (simplified here) is:
- Cutaneous mastocytosis - usually children.
- Urticaria pigmentosa (maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis) - the most common type.
- Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis (very rare).
- Mastocytoma of skin.
- Systemic mastocytosis:
- Indolent systemic mastocytosis
- Systemic mastocytosis with associated haematological non-mast cell lineage disease (SM-AHNMD).
- Aggressive systemic mastocytosis.
- Mast cell leukaemia (very rare).
- Localised mast cell proliferations (very rare).
- Extracutaneous mastocytoma.
- Extracutaneous mast cell sarcoma.
Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) is a rare form of cutaneous mastocytosis, in which telangiectasia occur together with the rash.[4]

Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
- MCAS - synonym: mast cell activation disorder (MCAD) - is characterised by the accumulation of genetically altered mast cells and/or abnormal release of mast cell mediators, affecting functions in potentially every organ system, particularly the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular and nervous systems. Investigations are usually normal.[5]
- Patients experience many of the same symptoms as with mastocytosis. Chronic mast cell activation can be difficult to diagnose, especially when symptoms are mild or atypical.[6]
- The use of antihistamines and mast cell membrane-stabilising drugs with symptomatic treatment is often effective.[7]
The cause is unknown but is probably multifactorial. A mutation of the oncogene c-kit D816V is found in many (but not all) cases.[8]
This is a rare and heterogeneous group of disorders, of which urticaria pigmentosa is the most common manifestation. It affects under 1 in 1,000 patients attending dermatology clinics. Estimated incidence is 1 in 150,000.
Possible triggers for mastocytosis symptoms[8]
- Physical stimuli, eg heat, cold, friction, sunlight, fatigue, exercise or fever.
- Emotional stimuli, eg stress.
- Certain foods, eg cheese, spices, shellfish, food preservatives, flavourings and colourings, monosodium glutamate.
- Environmental toxins, eg perfumes, pesticides.
- Insect bites, jelly fish stings, snake bites.
- Infection (bacterial, fungal or viral).
- Drugs, eg alcohol, anaesthetic agents, dextran, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), antibiotics, opioids, thiamine, quinine, gallamine, procaine, some radiographic dyes, polymyxin B, scopolamine and tubocurarine.[9]
Cutaneous mastocytosis
Urticaria pigmentosa:[4]
- The rash comprises light brown, itchy, raised patches - on any part of the body.
- The lesions blister when rubbed (Darier's sign) and become red, swollen and itchy. This confirms the presence of mastocytosis.
- Rarely, anaphylactic reactions can occur after mechanical/thermal stimulation of skin lesions.
- Dermatographism may be found on unaffected skin.[9]
- It usually affects infants from a few months of age. The lesions can persist and gradually increase in number for several months or years.
- Symptoms gradually improve as the child gets older, and the condition usually disappears by puberty.
The younger the patient and the smaller the number of the lesions, the higher the probability of spontaneous remission. An adult onset increases the risk of systemic involvement and persistence.
Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis:
- This usually occurs in the first year of life.
- The rash is very itchy, with generalised yellowish, thickened skin.
- Blisters are large, sometimes haemorrhagic, and occur spontaneously or following mild trauma.
- With more extensive skin involvement, systemic symptoms are more likely. These include flushing, headache, palpitations, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dyspnoea, wheezing, syncope, hypotensive shock and death.
- Early onset of blisters worsens the prognosis.
Mastocytoma of skin:
- This is a macular, papular or nodular lesion of yellow, brown or reddish colour.
Systemic mastocytosis[8][10][11]
Patients may present with "inexplicable" symptoms related to mast cell mediator release, such as vascular instability, anaphylactic shock, flushing, diarrhoea and headache (sometimes without skin lesions). There is a wide range of symptoms and a variety of triggers (see box). The condition may be unmasked by an anaphylactoid response to a stinging insect.[12] Possible symptoms and signs of systemic mastocytosis are:
- Skin:
- Facial flushing (may be pruritic or burning).[10]
- Urticaria pigmentosa (as above).
- Gastrointestinal:[10]
- Abdominal pain.
- Diarrhoea or steatorrhoea (due to malabsorption or altered motility).
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Hyperacidity, dyspepsia and peptic ulcers.
- Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly.
- Cardiovascular:
- Syncope, hypotension or anaphylactic shock.
- Haematological and bones:
- Anaemia or other cytopenias (if bone marrow involvement).
- Hypersplenism.
- Lymphadenopathy.
- Fractures (if bone marrow involved).
- Rarely, a bleeding disorder due to heparin-like anticoagulant (case report).[11]
- Respiratory:
- Neurological:
- Headaches.
- Peripheral neuropathy.
Localised mastocytosis[8]
- Mastocytoma is a benign tumour with uniform growth.
- Mast cell sarcoma is a locally destructive tumour.
- Skin biopsy (with analysis of c-kit D816V).
- Blood tests:
- FBC (anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis), clotting studies, renal function tests and LFTs.
- Serum tryptase - almost all patients with systemic mastocytosis have serum tryptase >20 ng/mL.[11]
- Urinary histamine levels or 1,4-methylimidazole acetic acid may be elevated.[4]
- If there is suspected systemic involvement (including most adults with suspected mast cell disorders), then complete staging is needed. This includes:
- CXR (or chest CT scan) for lymphadenopathy.
- Gastrointestinal investigations, eg endoscopy and ultrasound of abdomen.
- Bone density scan and skeletal X-rays.
- Bone marrow biopsy/aspirate.
- Other tests include:[3]
- Chromosomal analysis: 20% of patients with systemic mastocytosis have an abnormal karyotype.
- Molecular testing for KIT D816V mutation is always positive but JAK2 V617F is rarely positive.
- The mast cell clone is CD-117 positive and CD-25 and/or CD-2 positive. Expression of CD-25 on mast cells is seen in systemic mastocytosis but not in reactive states of mast cell hyperplasia.
There is a suggested diagnostic protocol. The diagnostic criteria are:[1]
- Major criteria:
- Biopsy finding of multiple dense accumulations of mast cells in bone marrow or in other non-skin tissue.
- Minor criteria:
- In bone marrow biopsy, more than 25% of the mast cells are spindle-shaped; or in bone marrow smears, more than 25% of the mast cells are atypical mast cells.
- Detection of a point mutation at codon 816 in the kit receptor gene. This may be found in bone marrow or blood or other internal organs.
- Mast cells in bone marrow, blood, or other internal organs are found to have on their surface the kit receptor plus CD2 and/or CD25.
- Serum total tryptase level persistently greater than 20 ng/mL. This criterion cannot be used if the patient has a clonal non-mast cell associated haematological disorder.
- The diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis may be made if one major and one minor criterion are present, or if three minor criteria are fulfilled.
Differential diagnosis
- Other pruritic rashes, eg other forms of urticaria.
- Other causes of flushing:[14]
- Carcinoid syndrome.
- Phaeochromocytoma.
- Other causes of anaphylaxis.
- Rarely, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, pancreatic cell tumour, renal carcinoma.
- Other causes of abdominal pain, peptic ulceration or liver disease, including:
- Inflammatory bowel disease.
- Irritable bowel syndrome.
- Malabsorption syndromes.
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- Other types of hepatitis or cirrhosis.
- Other haematological or myeloproliferative disorders.
This is concerned mainly with symptom control, as there is currently no cure. Systemic mastocytosis is usually managed by haematologists.
Acute anaphylaxis
- Those prone to acute severe symptoms should avoid trigger factors where possible, wear a medical emergency identification bracelet or similar and carry written treatment protocols from their specialist.
- Acute anaphylaxis is treated with intramuscular adrenaline (epinephrine), antihistamines (H1 and H2 receptor blockers)[3], fluids and pressor agents.[13]
- Patients with recurrent anaphylactoid reactions should carry injectable adrenaline (epinephrine) in pen format for emergency use.
- Consider immunotherapy against insect venom.
Skin and vascular symptoms
- For pruritus, weals and flushing - H1 and H2 receptor antagonists such as chlorphenamine, ketotifen and cimetidine.[9]
- Mast cell stabilizers: sodium cromoglicate, nedocromil and ketotifen.
- Local corticosteroids for skin lesions. Intralesional steroid injection is sometimes used.[9]
- Psoralen in combination with ultraviolet A (PUVA) treatment - gives temporary benefit for skin lesions.
Inhaled bronchodilators, eg salbutamol.
Gastrointestinal symptoms
- H2 receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors for peptic ulceration.
- Oral sodium cromoglicate for diarrhoea and abdominal pain.[9]
- Anticholinergics for diarrhoea.
Other possible systemic treatments
- Leukotriene inhibitors have been used in the treatment of systemic mastocytosis.[3]
- Systemic corticosteroids may be helpful for malabsorption, ascites, and bone pain, to prevent anaphylaxis and for severe skin disease.[3][13]
- Low-dose aspirin may be helpful for symptoms resistant to H1 and H2 antagonists alone, but must be started cautiously under supervision:[4][9]
- The patient, premedicated with H1 and H2 antihistamines, may take small doses of aspirin, titrated slowly to reach a plasma level of 20-30 mg/100 mL.
- Treatment should be started in a controlled environment, because aspirin can induce mast cell mediator release and subsequent cardiovascular collapse.
Bone pain
- Oral sodium cromoglicate may help.[9]
- Osteoporosis prevention/treatment - calcium, vitamin D, and bisphosphonates.[2]
Drugs to avoid[3]
- Beta-blockers are contra-indicated in patients with systemic mastocytosis undergoing surgery - these drugs may counteract endogenous adrenaline (epinephrine) and may precipitate anaphylaxis.
- Avoid alpha-blockers and cholinergic antagonists.
Aggressive disease[2]
- Splenectomy may be helpful for patients with significant hypersplenism or portal hypertension (it may reduce the mast cell burden and improve cytopenias).
- Aggressive systemic forms of mastocytosis may be treated with interferon alfa, with or without corticosteroids, or cladribine. In some cases, more intensive treatments such as imatinib, or drug combinations, may be considered.[1]
- Bone marrow transplantation may be considered in some extreme cases but is currently experimental treatment.[2]
- For patients with mast cell sarcoma, surgical excision with consecutive radiation and/or high-dose chemotherapy.
A protocol for management in children is available.[15]
Cutaneous mastocytosis:
- Childhood cases of urticaria pigmentosa and mastocytoma often resolve spontaneously. Adults are more likely to develop the systemic form of the disease.
Systemic mastocytosis:
- This has no known cure and tends to be progressive.
- Prognosis depends on the degree of haematological and organ involvement, as the classification (above) suggests.
- Indolent systemic mastocytosis has a relatively good prognosis - decades of life, using mainly symptomatic treatment, although life-threatening problems can occur.
- In systemic mastocytosis with associated haematological non-mast cell lineage disease (SM-AHNMD), the prognosis depends on the course of the associated haematological disorder.
- Agressive systemic mastocytosis and mast cell leukaemia have a poorer prognosis. The median survival for aggressive systemic mastocytosis is 41 months and for mast cell leukaemia it is 2 months.[3]
Localised mastocytosis:[8]
- Mastocytoma is a benign tumour with a good prognosis.
- Mast cell sarcoma is locally destructive and usually has poor prognosis.

Research Description
Dr. Young's laboratory is examining the role of the protein alpha-synuclein, which plays a key role in the death of dopamine-producing brain cells in the Parkinson's disease and other diseases with similar symptoms. Recently Dr. Young's laboratory has examined the biology of synuclein in a group of Parkinson-like disorders, the Multiple Systems Atrophies. These studies suggest novel mechanisms in synuclein turnover, which may be relevant for treatments targeted at this protein.
In addition to her work in Parkinson's disease, Dr. Young's laboratory is attempting to elucidate cellular and systems mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of Huntington's disease. In an effort to help develop therapeutic targets for human movement disorders, she is conducting studies on the vulnerability of neurons to excitotoxic injury and the selective expression of glutamate receptors in these neurons.
