Divorce study felled by a coding error gets a second chance
A journal has published a corrected version of a widely reported study linking severe illness and divorce rates after it was retracted in July due to a small coding error.
The original, headline-spawning conclusion was that the risk of divorce in a heterosexual marriage increases when the wife falls ill, but not the husband. The revised results — published again in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, along with lengthy explanations from the authors and editors — are more nuanced: Gender only significantly correlates with divorce rate in the case of heart disease.
The authors' note, from Iowa State's Amelia Karraker and Kenzie Latham, at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, explains that the coding error led them to over-estimate how many marriages ended in divorce:
Paper on narcissistic CEOs earns big correction
It may not be much of a surprise that narcissistic CEOs of pharmaceutical companies will make bold choices, such as adopting radically new technology. That idea remains true, despite a lengthy correction to a paper that supports it.
The paper, "CEO Narcissism, Audience Engagement, and Organizational Adoption of Technological Discontinuities," in Administrative Science Quarterly, found support for the following hypothesis:
17 retractions from SAGE journals bring total fake peer review count to 250
On Monday, we reported on 64 new retractions from Springer journals resulting from fake peer reviews. Yesterday, SAGE — which retracted 60 papers for the same reason just over a year ago — added 17 additional retractions to their list.
The articles were published in five different journals, and one retraction involved authorship fraud in addition to peer review fraud, according to a SAGE spokesperson: Read the rest of this entry »
"To our horror": Widely reported study suggesting divorce is more likely when wives fall ill gets axed
A widely reported finding that the risk of divorce increases when wives fall ill — but not when men do — is invalid, thanks to a short string of mistaken coding that negates the original conclusions, published in the March issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
The paper, "In Sickness and in Health? Physical Illness as a Risk Factor for Marital Dissolution in Later Life," garnered coverage in many news outlets, including The Washington Post, New York magazine's The Science of Us blog, The Huffington Post, and the UK's Daily Mail .
But an error in a single line of the coding that analyzed the data means the conclusions in the paper — and all the news stories about those conclusions — are "more nuanced," according to first author Amelia Karraker, an assistant professor at Iowa State University.
Karraker — who seems to be handling the case quickly and responsibly — emailed us how she realized the error:
Retraction of monkey paper linked to problems at shuttered research institute
Evidence of poorly treated lab animals has led researchers to retract a 2014 article in Veterinary Pathology that explored the neurological effects of dehydration in squirrel monkeys.
The study was pulled after Frederick Wang, the former director of the New England Primate Research Center, unveiled reports of a dozen squirrel monkeys that were found dehydrated and dead in their cages or euthanized between 1999 and 2011.
Wang told the Boston Globe in April that "human error" and "inadequate animal care" might have compromised the results of the study:
"Values were outside expected ranges": Toxicology paper spiked after audit
Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have retracted a 2014 article after a review unearthed unresolved problems with the study's control material.
The retracted paper, "Effect of Temperature and Storage Time on Sorbitol Dehydrogenase Activity in Sprague-Dawley Rat Serum and Plasma," looked to test the durability and stability of sorbitol dehydrogenase, an enzyme used to detect cancerous liver damage in rats.
Here's the complete retraction notice from Toxicologic Pathology :
"This article was published in error": Economics paper defaults
An economist in Taiwan has retracted a paper about from Economic Development Quarterly because it was "published in error."
The paper — first published online March 5, 2013 — addresses the influence of information and communication technology on economic growth.
According to the notice, the paper included "the original dataset and excerpts from an earlier draft of the paper co-written by the author and colleagues." The only listed author, Yi-Chia Wang, asked that the article be retracted before making it into print, but it looks like it was included in the February, 2015 issue of the journal.

Retraction appears for social psychologist Jens Förster

Retraction, tell-all style, for breast cancer radiology paper
Here at Retraction Watch, we don't believe in the expression "TMI." But this case features a level of detail we're not sure we've seen before.
Acta Radiologica has pulled a 2012 article on breast cancer imaging for being a duplicate publication — a sin the retraction notice takes great pains to point out.
The notice, written by journal editor Arnulf Skjennald, has the blow-by-blow feel of a police report: Read the rest of this entry »
Two-timing sinks papers on ships in journal shaken by major scandal
When we heard about this retraction, we were forced to ask: Are there any articles left in Journal of Vibration & Control?
The publication was forced to retract 60 papers by the same author in July, after he was caught exploiting a technological loophole to review his own papers.
Now, papers on loading cargo ships has been felled by a much less tech-savvy method: Two authors submitted a paper to both Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems and the Journal of Vibration & Control, both of which accepted and published the paper.
The authors, Yousef M. Al-Sweiti and Dirk Soeffker, have now lost three papers in total. Here's the joint notice from SAGE and Taylor & Francis (we've added links to relevant retractions): Read the rest of this entry »

"Te Amo"
Like Cox has been known to do as of late, much of the haze and reverb has been cut dry, as his vocals are clearly delivered over a bed of treated piano, aquatic atmospherics and some minimal deep-in-the-background beats. It's a promising-sounding track, for sure, so check it out for yourself below.

Many patients may go back to atrial fibrillation even while taking their medications.
You are best to talk to your heart specialist as other options may need to be considered.

Hi Barb
Everyone is different but I feel that Cardizem caused more palpitations which then led to A Fib for 24 hours. However, cardizem intravenous was the only thing to bring me to normal sinus rhythm in ER, go figure. So I am back on Atenolol 50 mg a day for blood pressure and Flecinide 50mg a day. I only had some fatigue at first with the Flecinide Now my Dr wants to increase the dose to 50 mg twice a day and I am scared. I had no incidents since January 2011. This month 2 episodes, one 11 hrs one 4 hrs. BUT I am in a new job (Pharmacy Tech) and on my feet 7 hrs a day. That would kill a young person! I am 69.
Take Care

Nigel is fascinated by Finn's story and wants to help him find the treasure. Moe is an old mentor of Finn's who also happens to be looking for the same treasure. Watching both is gangster rapper Bigg Bunny whom Finn owes money. Finn and Tess discover a clue as to where the fortune may lie. Now all Finn has to do is get the gold, get the girl, and get going before Bigg Bunny gets him.

NASA: 50 Years of Towering Achievement
Beyond Apollo
On March 2, 1972, NASA launched Pioneer 10, which became the first satellite to pass through the asteroid belt and return close-up images of Jupiter. From there, it sailed on out of the solar system and into deep space, where it continued sending signals until contact was finally lost on Jan. 22, 2003.
NASA launched two more deep-space probes in 1977, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Together, the two spacecraft have visited more planets, asteroids, rings and moons, and traveled farther than any other spacecraft. Voyager 1 is now further from Earth than any man-made object.
Closer to Earth, NASA began to "extend life there" by launching its first space station, Skylab, in 1973. Americans were now able to spend extended periods in space, which, among other things, led to more sophisticated studies on the effects of prolonged weightlessness on the human body.
As the cold war thawed, U.S. and Soviet space programs began moving toward a spirit of cooperation, which culminated in the Apollo-Soyuz test project in 1975. The crews performed a few joint scientific experiments, but the real value of this mission was to help the easing of tensions back on Earth, advancing NASA's mission to "improve life here." It also paved the way for future joint U.S.-Russian efforts, like the Shuttle-Mir program.
The centerpiece of NASA's post-Apollo years has been the space shuttle. Designed to carry large payloads in low Earth orbit, the shuttle is the first truly reusable orbital spacecraft. Six shuttles have been built. Five of them -- Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour -- were fully operational. The prototype, Enterprise, was not built to fly in space.
Its versatility and durability has made the shuttle NASA's workhorse since STS-1, Columbia's maiden flight in 1981. Shuttles have been used to deploy and recover satellites, to deliver payloads and crews to various space stations, to conduct experiments in the weightlessness of space, and to dispatch crews to repair other space vehicles. In 1990, it was Discovery that deployed another resounding NASA success, the Hubble Space Telescope.
To date there have been 121 shuttle missions. Of those, 119 have ended successfully. The two that didn't remain burned into the national consciousness. The Challenger and Columbia disasters, which cost the lives of 14 astronauts, have dogged the shuttle program since 1986, delaying missions while NASA undertook painstaking investigations.
Recent shuttle missions have centered on keeping the Hubble telescope functioning and ferrying additional components to the International Space Station, a multinational endeavor that has helped NASA strengthen its ties with other national space programs.
Now the shuttle is nearing the end of its operational life. NASA plans to retire the orbiter following STS-133, scheduled for 2010. A new orbiter, Orion, is expected to deploy in the middle of the next decade.
Meanwhile, NASA is currently lavishing a lot of attention on our nearest planetary neighbor, Mars. Although NASA rovers have pretty well discounted the possibility of the existence of little green men, the red planet's geological history is being intensely studied. NASA's recent declaration that water ice is present on Mars holds out the hope that some form of life did, or does, exist.

Man's Death Threat To Victim Leads To Sexual Assault ChargesJanuary 17, 2014 at 2:19 am by DamagedGoods
Farmington, ME — Meet 43 year old Robert Parker Jr., the man with a face I dearly want to punch with some especially nasty brass knuckles. If his face alone doesn't inspire the same in you, allow me to add some details that will surely push you there, if not further.
On September 25, 2013, Mr. Please-Throat-Punch-Me-Repeatedly, was arrested two days after Deputy Kevin Hartley of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, was sent to investigate a complaint regarding his handing out cigarettes to two girls under the age of 15. (Can you say, "grooming"? I bet you can!) One source indicates that he forced each of the girls to smoke around 50 cigarettes, which just seems like a waste of cigarettes to me.
After being arraigned, he was released on a pretrial contract that same day. I bet he was really relieved, but not for long.
The following day, Deputy Hartley received a new complaint. The ever charming Mr. Parker was apparently sending some rather impolite messages to the family of one of the girls involved in the cigarette charges, threatening to kill her if she told anyone about his disgusting, pervy ways.…
Toddler Featured In 'Thug Baby' Video Removed From HomeJanuary 10, 2014 at 6:33 pm by Agony In Black
OMAHA, NE – A Nebraska infant who gained fame in a viral video in which he swore, flipped the bird to the camera and repeated a string of vulgarities has been taken into protective custody, Omaha police announced on Wednesday. Three other children were also removed from the home, according to a post on the department's Facebook page.
The child, wearing a diaper, is told to repeat a number of obscenities and racial slurs by the adults taking the video. The infant, who is black, is shown knocking over a chair and at times taunts the adults back, calling one of them a bitch and telling her to shut up. The adults are heard laughing and encouraging him to keep going.
Though the conduct is disgusting, that didn't stop the baby's mother, 16-year-old Ennisha Devers, from speaking out in defense of her child-rearing skills and taking up for her two-year-old son, after claiming that her brother shot the video-while she was in another room.
"He had a clean diaper, the house was clean and like they said, kids curse, every kid does it," Devers said. …
Baby Found Covered In Cockroaches Crawling Across Busy RoadJanuary 9, 2014 at 12:12 pm by Morbid
Pelican Bay, TX – I totally missed this story from last month, but it's so disgusting I figured all of you would want to read about it. A woman was arrested after her 19-month-old was found covered in cockroaches and shit, crawling across a busy street.
Police say a woman brought a baby into the police station after finding him crawling down the middle of a busy road. Despite having cockroaches crawling in and out of his diapers and habing shit on his face, he was a "bundle of joy," said Pelican Bay Assistant Chief of Police Stephen Combs. "It broke the hearts of all my officers," said Combs.
The kid had so many roaches crawling on him that the woman who brought him in had to immediately clean out her car because of all the live and dead cockroaches left behind.
Around 30 minutes later, 23-year-old Tiffany Jenkins stopped by to see if anyone had turned in her nasty baby. Turns out Jenkins had been in her yard with her four children.…
Mom Arrested After Four Boys Found Living In House Of FilthJanuary 8, 2014 at 3:55 pm by Morbid
Austell, GA – Police searching for a missing boy found four other boys living with their mother and uncle in a trash-filled home infested with lice, roaches, and a registered sex offender.
And that's not even the worst of it.
The boys – ages 14, 13, 12 and 8 – all had decayed teeth while the oldest was sporting an untreated foot injury so severe it required surgery. None of the boys attended school and their communication skills were so bad they couldn't even be interviewed.
One of their neighbors told reporters he wasn't even aware four boys lived inside the home.
The boys' parents, 52-year-old Jennifer Ruth Hollis and 53-year-old Tony Darren Elmore, also lived in the home along with their uncle, 37-year-old Robert Lee Hollis. Elmore also happens to be a convicted rapist and registered sex offender.
All three adults were charged with four separate counts of child cruelty and remain in a Cobb County jail on $100,000 bond. The four boys have been placed in state custody.…
Man Accused Of Masturbating In Front Of Deli Employee And Her Young SonJanuary 8, 2014 at 4:14 am by Jaded
Lakewood, NJ — A 42-year-old man was arrested for allegedly disrobing inside of a deli and masturbating in front of an employee and her 8-year-old son.
According to the alleged victim, Ronald Lavoy entered the deli Saturday evening and waited for the place to empty. When the last customer walked out the door, Lavoy apparently removed his clothing and started strokin'. Obviously unimpressed, the woman called police. When Lavoy realized what she was doing, he put his clothes on and walked out.
Police soon had their man — he was found at a bus stop a few blocks away. He was charged with two counts of lewdness, tender years sexual assault (that's a new one) and endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held on $100,000 bail.
Turns out he had been in the deli the previous evening, doing the same damn thing. The victim in that case, though, simply yelled at him to GTFO…. so he did.
Poor, dejected sumbitch… no one wants to look at his willy.…
Man Spotted Eating Rocks Near High School Tells Nosy Students "I Lost My Meth"December 6, 2013 at 4:50 am by Jaded
Des Moines, IA — Students from Lincoln High School reported seeing a man in a nearby park eating rocks Monday. That man, 35-year-old Michael Sutton, was later taken into custody on a wide range of charges. Yes… rocks.
The students apparently happened upon the weird ass scene sometime Monday afternoon. When the students asked Sutton why, exactly, he was eating rocks, Sutton reportedly replied, "I lost my meth." This, of course, prompted them to report the incident to their school resource officer.
When police arrived on scene, Sutton was still chowing down. An officer asked him what he was eating. "Rocks," Sutton replied. The officer then asked Sutton if he thought maybe it was a little odd to be sitting in the middle of the road eating rocks. "Well, they are small rocks," was his reply. Oh, well in that case…..
After he was finished snacking, Sutton rose to leave the area. It was then that police noticed he had a couple of kiddos in his car.…
Young Couple Gets 60 Years In Prison For Starving Their BabyNovember 18, 2013 at 11:21 am by Morbid
Granbury, TX – These two were sentenced earlier this month, but I totally missed the story and figured I'd post an article that ends on a good note for change. Justin and Brittany Alston, both 21-years-old, were sentenced to 60 years in prison after teens notified an adult that the couple were starving their 9-month-old baby.
Last December, several teenagers were at a party at the Alstons' mobile home when they heard Riley crying. When Justin refused to check on his son, a 17-year-old at the party went into the boy's room and found him emaciated and lying in urine, feces and vomit. His skin was flaking off his body, his bones were showing through his skin, and one of his socks had fused to his foot.
"I was furious and I was shaking and I was breathing hard and I was trying to be as gentle as I could with this baby because I felt like if I just moved a certain way this baby would break. He was so fragile and little," Magon Rutledge said.…
Toddler Shoots Father In Back In Walmart Parking LotNovember 11, 2013 at 2:05 pm by Gaucha
Russellville, AR – Police responding to a call of a possible shooting in a Wal-Mart parking lot found a man who'd been shot in the back with a shotgun. The suspect? The man's toddler.
It's being reported that the child was climbing into his father's truck with the help of an older child, and grabbed on to an unsecured, loaded shotgun in the process. The toddler accidentally pulled the shotgun's trigger, shooting his father, identified as Monty Wheeler, in the back. Wheeler was taken to Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center by EMS and has since been released in stable condition.
The investigation is ongoing at this time, but I hope to at least see a charge of child endangerment. Fifth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney David Gibbons said they will decide what charges, if any, will be filed once they have all the facts.
Wheeler lists his employer as the Dardanelle Police Department, so you'd expect he'd know how to better store and protect his weapons around children. On Oct. 31st, Wheeler shared a photo on Facebook that shows a child saying "Thank you daddy for Loving me enough to carry a gun."
I am by no means against ownership of guns for protection or concealed carry, but if you are going to carry or even own a weapon of any kind, please learn and practice safe storage.…
Mom Accused Of Trying To Sell Her Baby To Craigslist Contact For $5000November 7, 2013 at 11:09 am by Morbid
HANCOCK COUNTY, MS – A Mississippi woman was arrested after she allegedly tried selling her 4-month-old baby boy to a woman in Louisiana she met over Craigslist.
The Hancock County Sheriff's Department say they were contacted after 23-year-old Bobbie Stojic posted an 'In Search of' on Craigslist for baby clothes. A woman in Louisiana contacted her and the two women formed a relationship and began texting each other.
The woman in Louisiana said that after Stojic gave her a sob story about financial difficulties and possibly being evicted from her home, she offered to help care for Stojic's 4-month-old. Stojic had a better idea, and texted the woman: "Well, for $5,000 you can have the child. Come and get him."
The woman was interested, but replied that if Stojic wanted to relinquish her parental rights, they would need to go through the legal adoption process. Again, Stojic had a better idea and replied that there was no need for all that red tape, and that the woman could put the baby on layaway – $600 now, and then work out the remaining balance later.…
Daycare Worker Accused Of Killing Girl Because She Would Not Take Off CoatNovember 4, 2013 at 10:39 am by Morbid
ORANGE CITY, IA – A daycare worker has been accused of killing a 3-year-old girl because the toddler would not remove her coat.
Autumn Elgersma died on Halloween, two days after being admitted to the hospital suffering from a head injury she received at her daycare. According to 33-year-old Rochelle Sapp, the owner and operator of the in-home daycare, Autumn had fallen down some stairs shortly after being dropped off Tuesday morning.
After receiving a call from Sapp about her daughter's accident, Jennifer Elgersma took Autumn from Sapp's home and rushed her to the hospital where doctors discovered the little girl had a fractured skull and brain trauma. When Sapp was presented with evidence that Autumn's injuries were not consistent with a fall down down some stairs, Sapp admitted she'd thrown the girl to the floor after she refused to take off her coat.
Sapp was arrested and initially charged with willful injury and child endangerment resulting in serious bodily injury. Since Autumn died from the injuries inflicted on her by Sapp, those charges will be upgraded as soon as the girl's autopsy is completed, according to Orange City Police Chief Jim Pottebaum.…
Couple Accused Of Making Girl Bark While Wearing Electric Dog CollarOctober 31, 2013 at 12:37 pm by Morbid
DANBURY, CT – A couple in Connecticut are in jail after investigators said they forced a 9-year-old girl to bark while wearing an electric dog collar as punishment for a bad progress report from school.
Eduardo and Paula Montanez were arrested after the girl told her teacher she was having problems at home, then described the electric dog collar incident. She said her stepfather and mother were upset about her progress report, so Eduardo put a PetSafe barking collar around her neck and made her bark so she would get shocked. Her mother was there when this happened, she said, but did nothing to stop it.
The girl said it only happened once, but marks on the girl's neck lead investigators to believe that the shock treatment was a common method of punishment used in the home. The girl also told police that she'd been beaten by her parents several times. After a joint investigation between Department of Children and Families and Danbury police, the couple were arrested five days later.…
Drunk Clown Accused Of Dangling Boy Upside Down From Railroad OverpassOctober 31, 2013 at 8:48 am by Morbid
KENOSHA, WI – A drunk man dressed as a clown has been accused of dangling a boy over a railroad overpass early Sunday morning.
According to police, 33-year-old Antonio Brown came home drunk after attending a Halloween party Saturday night. Still dressed as a clown, he told his girlfriend's two kids that he wanted to go walk the train tracks, something they had all done before.
As he and the two boys – ages 13 and 8 – walked along the tracks, Brown continued drinking alcohol. The boys said Brown was "acting strange" and ended up making them drink the alcohol to the point that one of the boys threw up.
When the younger of the two boys got scared and wanted to go home, Brown got angry. The two boys took off running with Brown in hot pursuit. Brown caught up to the older boy, grabbed him, picked him up and hung him upside down from an overpass. "If you try that again, I'm going to drop you," he allegedly informed the boy.…
Woman Accused Of Instructing Nephew To Bite Niece, Cut Her With KnifeOctober 18, 2013 at 11:09 am by Morbid
HOUSTON, TX – Police have accused a woman of instructing her 5-year-old nephew to bite his 7-year-old sister and cut her with a knife.
Irene Gonzales, 37, has been charged with injury to a child after teachers at her niece's school noticed the girl was sporting bruised bite marks and cuts on her back. When asked how she received her injuries, she told them her little brother did it. When asked why he would do that, she told them it was because her aunt told him to.
When police questioned the boy, he confirmed his sister's story and said that he'd bit his sister after being told to do so by Gonzales. When Gonzales was questioned, she actually admitted she'd told the boy to bite his sister as a form of discipline, and to cut her back with a knife as a form of punishment.
Gonzales, who has custody the two children, is being held on $5,000 bond. Child Protective Services says it's investigating and the children have been placed with another family member.…
Two Women Facing Charges After Twin Girls Found Nude In Locked RoomOctober 15, 2013 at 8:47 am by Morbid
LIBERTY COUNTY, TX – A mother and her sister have been arrested after police found twin two-year-old girls nude in a locked bedroom inside a filthy trailer.
According to police, they were at the trailer to check on the twins' mother, 20-year-old Brandy Dominguez, who is on pre-trial release for a human trafficking charge. She wasn't home, but her sister, 27-year-old Amy Castillo, was there and let the officers inside the trailer.
Once inside the trailer that the officers would describe as deplorable, they heard scratching noises coming from inside a locked bedroom. Castillo allowed the officers to enter the room, and that's when they found the two girls. The room reportedly smelled of human waste and aside from the two nude girls, contained nothing but a blanket on the floor.
Castillo was arrested and is facing charges of child abandonment and child endangerment. Dominguez arrived at the scene while police were still there and told them she'd only been gone for a short amount of time. Charges against her are still pending.…
Mother Charged After Allowing 10-Year-Old Daughter To Get Tattoo With Ink Containing Human AshesOctober 12, 2013 at 3:42 pm by Morbid
BARTLESVILLE, OK – A mother has been arrested after allowing her 10-year-old daughter to get a tattoo with ink that contained human ashes.
Jennifer Wilson, 31, is facing child neglect charges after a school counselor at Jane Phillips Elementary School contacted Washington County Child Welfare about a tattoo they noticed on the left side of the girl's body. Wilson was arrested with her husband, 33-year-old Amos Wilson, during a drug raid Thursday morning. Amos was allegedly breaking bad and making meth inside the home.
After the couple were questioned by police, they learned that the person responsible for giving the young girl the tattoo was an unlicensed tattoo artist, 31-year-old Brandon Brown. He was charged with unlawful tattooing and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He told investigators that despite not having a license to practice, he was a very clean tattoo artist and didn't expose his clients to any health risks.
I know that the words "clean" and "health risks" can evoke various different definitions depending on the person you ask, but Sgt Elizabeth Mitchell said they checked out Brown's workspace and found that "there were live and dead baby roaches present, along with roach feces on the open box of disposable gloves." They also found the ink that was used on the girl had been mixed with human ashes.…
Teen Charged After Giving Birth, Chucking Newborn Out WindowOctober 10, 2013 at 12:28 pm by Morbid
MESA, AZ – A 16-year-old has been arrested after police say she gave birth in her family's home, then promptly chucked the newborn out a window.
Police arrived at the teen's home on Sunday on a report of an injured person. The injured person turned out to be the teen, who was bleeding extensively after giving birth. The family told police they had found the placenta, but could not locate the baby.
After 30 minutes of searching, police finally found the newborn outside the home, alive and pissed off, possibly suffering from a fractured skull. Turns out, in a ridiculous attempt to hide her pregnancy, the teen threw the baby out of the bathroom window after she gave birth to it.
The baby fell about five feet and hit a brick inside a shed attached to the bathroom. The baby has been placed in custody of Child Protective Services and is expected to survive. So,instead of getting into possible trouble with her parents for getting pregnant, the teen will still get into possible trouble for being pregnant while also facing charges of attempted murder and child abuse.…
Couple Charged After Malnourished Boys Found Living In Filth, Speaking In GruntsOctober 8, 2013 at 10:41 am by Morbid
DENVER, CO – A couple have been charged with felony child abuse after police found four malnourished boys living in a home full of piss, shit and flies, and only communicated with each other using grunts.
The boys were found after 35-year-old Lorinda Bailey took her 2-year-old son to the hospital to treat a cut on his forehead. She told the emergency room doctor that the injury resulted from a fall, but the doctor called police after noting the boy had suspicious bruising, smelled like an ashtray, was unwashed, and would not talk.
Denver Police Officer N. Rocco-McKeel and Denver Human Services case worker Jill Perry decided to go to Bailey's home to check on her three other boys, aged 4, 5 and 6. The family was known to DHS, as Bailey and her wizard, 66-year-old Wayne Sperling, had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child abuse back in 2009.
When they got to the couple's apartment, Rocco-McKeel immediately detected the smell of decomposition from outside, a smell that became "unbearable" once they got inside the apartment.…
Man Tried Killing 4-Year-Old-Son With Heroin To Delay Divorce From WifeSeptember 30, 2013 at 5:18 pm by Gaucha
Redmond, WA – The ex-wife of Eric Lehtinen arrived at his home Tuesday to pick up their 4-year-old son and found that Lehtinen had attempted to kill the boy by injecting him with heroin.
When the unidentified woman got inside the locked home after a job interview, she found Lehtinen unconscious, as was their son who also had a syringe sticking out of his chest. Both were rushed to the hospital where staff found indications of needle marks on the boy's neck and buttocks.
Tests would reveal he'd been injected with a drug cocktail of heroin, ketamine, morphine, codeine, and other drugs. The latest reports have him listed in stable condition, but doctors are unsure of what long-term damage the drugs may have caused.
Lehtinen was released from the hospital and sent straight to jail. He did not collect $200. He has been charged with attempted first-degree murder. He's being held on $3 million bail after prosecutors described him as a "man who is willing to inject his 4-year-old son with heroin in an attempt to kill the boy" and a "dangerous man willing to do anything." If convicted, Lehtinen will be looking at a minimum of 15 years behind bars.…

Article: [Mitral Valve Replacement after Previous Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Functioning Left Internal Thoracic Artery Graft;Effectiveness of the Method using a Direct Vision Retrosternal Approach;Report of a Case].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Performing a redo-sternotomy when a mammary artery graft is patent can be rather difficult. We previously reported a redo-sternotomy technique involving direct visualization with a retrosternal dissection (DR) method using a Kent's retractor. The DR method in detail is as follows:1)A midline skin incision is extended to the abdomen about 5 cm. 2)The bilateral costal arches are divided from the rectal muscle. 3)A pair of retractors is placed under the costal arch. 4)A stainless steel wire is applied to the previous sternal wire at the center of the sternum. 5)The retractor and sternal wire are lifted up using the Kent's retractor to widen the retrosternal space. 6)The sternum and sub-sternal tissue are carefully divided using an electronic scalpel or metal retractor with an entirely sternal length. 7) Routine sternotomy is performed using a Stryker. Herein, we report a patient who had undergone cardiac surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), using a left internal mammary artery and mitral annuloplasty 2 years previously, and then developed mitral regurgitation caused by infectious endocarditis. He successfully underwent redo-sternotomy and mitral valve replacement using the DR method. In a patient with a patent internal mammary artery, the DR method greatly reduces the risk of graft injury.Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery 08/2014; 67(9):843-6.
Article: [Usefulness of the axillary artery perfusion in open heart surgery in a patient with severe ascending aortic calcification][Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Because of high-aging Japanese society, high-risk patients with multiple co-morbidities have been increasing in regular open-heart surgery. Especially, extensive aortic atherosclerosis with severe calcification that involves the ascending aorta can complicate the choice of sites of cannulations and aortic cross-clamping for cardiopulmonary bypass. To date, the standard peripheral arterial cannulation site in such cases has been the common femoral artery;however, this approach carries the risk of atheroembolism due to retrograde aortic perfusion, or it is undesirable in case of severe iliofemoral disease. Recently, it has been reported that arterial perfusion through the axillary artery provides sufficient antegrade aortic flow associated with fewer atheroembolic complications. In this paper, we report 3 successful cases of valvular surgeries in which axillary artery cannulation was used to avoid complications of brain. In cases of extensive aortic atherosclerosis with severe calcification, arterial perfusion through the axillary artery is a safe and effective method to provide sufficient arterial inflow during cardiopulmonary bypass, and is an excellent alternative to femoral artery cannulation.Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery 06/2013; 66(6):449-53.

Article: Suppression of Alloreactivity and Allograft Rejection by SP600125, a Small Molecule Inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is reported to play crucial roles in T-cell activation and differentiation, and SP600125 is a small molecule that inhibits JNK. The aim of this study was to examine immunosuppressive action of this compound. Rat heterotopic heart transplantation, popliteal lymph node (PLN) hyperplasia bioassay and lymphocyte proliferation assay. SP600125 treatment reduced histological rejection, and dose-dependently extended median survival time of cardiac allografts from 7 days (vehicle) up to 20 days (40 mg/kg/day). Alloantigen-induced PLN hyperplasia was also inhibited by SP600125 in a similar fashion. SP600125 suppressed mixed lymphocyte reaction and OX52-positive lymphocyte proliferation (IC50: 1.5-5.7 microM). Thus, SP600125 inhibits both T-lymphocyte expansion in vitro and T-cell-mediated alloimmune responses in vivo. In addition, SP600125 interacted with cyclosporine additively to prolong cardiac allograft survival. Our data provide the first evidence indicating the potential for JNK as a therapeutic target to inhibit the alloimmune response.Transplantation 06/2007; 83(10):1358-64.

Article: Histological and Morphometric Study of the Arterial Route from the Intercostal/Lumbar Artery via the Adamkiewicz Artery to the Anterior Spinal Artery Using Elderly Cadavers with or without Aortic Aneurysms[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Adamkiewicz artery originates from the lower intercostal/lumbar artery, runs along the vertebral roots of the spinal nerve, and communicates with the anterior spinal artery. In graft replacement for an aortic aneurysm, the lower intercostal/lumbar artery should be reconstructed to maintain the arterial blood supply to the lumbar spinal cord via the Adamkiewicz artery. To date, there are few reports on the histological characteristics of the arterial pathway from the aorta to the anterior spinal artery via the Adamkiewicz artery as well as the pathway in the Adamkiewicz artery. In addition, there is a possibility that this arterial pathway was degenerated by the aortic aneurysm. In this study, we attempted to reveal the histological characteristics of the arterial pathway by using elderly cadavers with or without unruptured aortic aneurysm. Specimens were obtained from 190 elderly cadavers (fixed in 10% formalin). These cadavers included 16 cases of aortic aneurysms. We collected fragments of the intercostal/lumbar artery, its dorsal branch, the Adamkiewicz artery, and the anterior spinal artery. After routine histological procedures, several staining procedures were performed for each section. A morphometric study was conducted at the light-microscopic level. The Adamkiewicz artery is composed of a thick intima that contains multiple thick elastic fiber layers and, probably, numerous intimal smooth muscle cells. Among the cadavers, the intimal thickness varied significantly in the intercostal/lumbar artery and the Adamkiewicz artery; it tended to be constant, irrespective of luminar dilatation in the Adamkiewicz artery, in contrast to other arteries. No significant difference was observed between the specimens with or without unruptured aortic aneurysms in all the parameters that were measured. The Adamkiewicz artery appeared to be capable of adapting to acute and chronic changes in systemic status that develop with aging because of its thick intima that contained numerous smooth muscles and elastic fibers. Against various events of systemic circulatory dysfunctions such as hypertension, its unique morphology suggested that this artery may play the critical role of a modulator, or even a barrier, that is intercalated along the arterial route to the lumbar cord.Annals of Vascular Surgery 02/2006; 20(1):9-16.

Article: Endovascular stent-grafting for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm following bypass grafting to superior mesenteric and celiac arteries: report of two cases[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two high-risk patients underwent an endovascular stent-grafting for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) following bypass-grafting to the visceral arteries. The first patient was a 73-year-old woman with severe ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic respiratory failure. The second patient was a 59-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) and hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC). In general, TAAA is not considered to be indicated for endovascular stent-grafting because of the need to revascularize the visceral vessels. However, in some selected cases, such as the two cases presented herein, endovascular stent-grafting combined with bypass-grafting of the visceral arteries can be a feasible and a less-invasive alternative to conventional surgery.Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery: official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia 11/2005; 11(5):335-8. · 0.72 Impact Factor
Article: Systematic node dissection by VATS is not inferior to that through an open thoracotomy: A comparative clinicopathologic retrospective study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Major pulmonary resection with systematic node dissection (SND) for early lung cancer by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is performed in many institutes, but the feasibility of SND for early lung cancer by VATS remains controversial. The aim of this study was to elucidate the feasibility and safety of SND by VATS. Three hundred fifty patients with clinical stage I lung cancer who underwent pulmonary major resection with SND between 1998 and 2003 were enrolled in this study. Of these patients, 191 (VATS group) underwent pulmonary resection with SND by VATS; 159 patients (open thoracotomy [OT] group) did so through anterolateral thoracotomy. The clinical and pathologic data, including the number of dissected nodes in each nodal station, of the 2 groups were compared to evaluate the feasibility of SND by VATS. Pathologic data showed that, in the VATS group, more patients had adenocarcinoma (P = .0078) and fewer patients had advanced factors than the OT group. The greatest tumor diameter was 24.5 mm and 29.6 mm in the VATS group and OT group, respectively (P < .0001). The total number of mediastinal nodes dissected in right upper lobectomy plus right middle lobectomy (RUL+RML), right lower lobectomy (RLL), left upper lobectomy (LUL), and lower left lobectomy (LLL) also did not differ between the 2 groups. The total number of mediastinal nodes dissected in RUL+RML, RLL, LUL, and LLL was 19.7 in the VATS group versus 22.0 in the OT group (P = .122), 23.4 versus 21.0 (P = .241), 14.8 versus 17.5 (P = .123), and 18.8 versus 15.8 (P = .202), respectively. The number of dissected nodes in each nodal station in RUL+RML, RLL, LUL, and LLL was similar between the 2 groups. Operative mortality, morbidity, or recurrence did not differ between the 2 groups. With regard to the number of dissected nodes, SND by VATS was not inferior to that of OT. SND by VATS is technically feasible and safe, and seems acceptable for clinical stage I lung cancer.Surgery 09/2005; 138(3):510-7. DOI:10.1016/j.surg.2005.04.005 · 3.38 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We investigated the influence of dialysis on late aortic events in end-stage renal failure patients who had undergone replacement of the thoracic aorta. Between 1990 and 2003, 28 dialysis patients underwent thoracic aortic aneurysm repair. The cause was non-dissection in 17 patients and dissection in 11 patients. Six patients needed emergency operations. After the initial operation, 10 patients in the dialysis group had a patent false channel distal to the operative area, and 7 patients in the dialysis group had untreated separate aneurysms. These lesions were defined as residual aneurysms. We performed a retrospective case-control analysis of survival and late aortic events (enlargement of the remaining thoracic aorta, sudden death and reoperation) in dialysis patients versus carefully matched non-dialysis patients. Matching criteria included age, sex, cause, operative procedures, operative date, and operative status (elective or emergency). Survival rates at 1 and 5 years for dialysis patients versus non-dialysis patients were 63 +/- 9% vs. 85 +/- 7% and 41 +/- 11% versus 64 +/- 13%, respectively (p = 0.02). Four of nine late deaths in the dialysis group were due to rupture of residual aneurysm. Freedom from late aortic events for dialysis patients versus non-dialysis patients was 91+/- 6% versus 92 +/- 5% and 25 +/- 14% versus 68 +/- 12% at 1 and 5 years, respectively (p = 0.0073). There is a high incidence of late aortic events in dialysis patients undergoing thoracic aortic aneurysm repair. This finding indicates the need for close follow-up examination of dialysis patients who have undergone surgical treatment of thoracic aortic disease.The Annals of thoracic surgery 08/2005; 80(1):96-100.

ABSTRACT: Acute distal aortic dissection sometimes causes one or more visceral vessels to be stenosed by the thrombosed false lumen. Although stenosis of the only celiac artery (CA) usually does not cause ischemic symptoms because of the extensive collateral pathways of the mesenteric circulation, we experienced a rare case of CA compression syndrome which was caused by acute type B aortic dissection. The principal symptom was severe epigastric pain that was refractory to medicinal treatment. The angiogram showed absence of the anatomically well-developed collateral pathways between the CA and the superior mesenteric artery. We treated the patient with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in the CA. This report indicates that attention should be given to the possibility of CA compression syndrome in the case of acute distal aortic dissection and that endovascular management can be successfully applied to control symptoms caused by the syndrome, which is otherwise extremely difficult to repair directly by surgery.Annals of Vascular Surgery 08/2005; 19(4):553-6.

ABSTRACT: The feasibility of systematic node dissection (SND) for stage I primary lung cancer by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of SND by VATS. Four hundred and eleven patients with clinical stage I primary lung cancer were enrolled in this study. Two hundred and twenty-one patients, VATS group, underwent a major pulmonary resection with SND by VATS through a minithoracotomy (30-70mm) and two access ports; 190 patients, open thoracotomy (OT) group, did so through anterolateral thoracotomy. The two groups were compared regarding clinical data including number of dissected nodes in each nodal station for evaluating the feasibility of SND by VATS. In the right side, the total number (N) of nodes dissected (VATS 31 vs OT 31, P=0.899), N of mediastinal nodes dissected (20 vs 21, P=0.553), and N of dissected nodes in each nodal station were similar between the two groups. In the left side, total N of nodes dissected (28 vs 27, P=0.714), N of mediastinal nodes dissected (16 vs 17, P=0.333), and N of dissected nodes in each nodal station were similar between the two groups. There were three (1.4%) and five (2.6%) operation related deaths in the VATS group and OT group, respectively (P=0.48). Chest tube duration was shorter in the VATS group than the OT group (5.8 vs 7.6 days, P=0.001). The incidences of chylothorax, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and pleural effusion requiring thoracentesis after surgery were similar between the two groups (3 vs 4, P=0.709; 5 vs 3, P=0.480, 3 vs 8, P=0.122). The 5-year actuarial recurrence-free survival rate and cumulative survival rate of pathological stage IA cases were similar between the two groups (88.6 vs 92.4%, P=0.698; 92.9 vs 86.5%, P=0.358). The SND by VATS was as technically feasible as SND through OT regarding number of dissected nodes and morbidity. It seems acceptable as an oncological treatment for clinical stage I lung cancer.European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery 06/2005; 27(5):745-52.

Article: [Clinical information and management in patients with adult congenital heart disease undergoing non-cardiac surgery].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Untreated or palliated congenital heart disease has the strong impact on the outcomes of surgery for non-cardiovascular disease that accrues with age. However, excellent guidelines have not been published yet that provide ideal information and expert opinion for patients and doctors in assessing adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). In the global risk assessment for such a condition, American College of Cardiology--American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines can be helpful although developed exclusively from populations with acquired heart disease. The first necessity is to clarify the diagnosis The second is preoperative hemodynamic assessment according to the specific physiology and anatomy. The third is to evaluate the intensity of expected hemodynamic stress by proposed operation. The last is to elucidate co-morbid conditions. In addition to global risk assessment, Risk factors unique to ACHD must be carefully considered. Under complete assessment of these risk factors by the staff who have sufficient experience or training in the management of ACHD, the optimal, effective and meticurous cares can be provided to patients with ACHD encountered at noncardiac surgery.Nippon Geka Gakkai zasshi 06/2005; 106(5):334-7.

Article: Effects of inhaled FK 506 on the suppression of acute rejection after lung transplantation: Use of a rat orthotopic lung transplantation model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: FK 506 inhalant was recently developed for localized administration. We investigated its effects on acute lung allograft rejection and compared its efficacy with that of intramuscular administration of FK 506. Rats (n = 123) with orthotopic left lung transplantation were divided into 9 groups. Six groups inhaled FK 506 (5 puffs, 10 puffs or 20 puffs per day), or were given intramuscular administration of FK 506 (0.05, 0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg/day). The other groups included rats receiving an isograft, rats with an untreated allograft, and a placebo group. All groups (n = 6 each) were monitored for 14 days post-operatively as an end-point and graft survival time was determined. The remaining animals were killed 4 days after transplantation. The histologic grade of rejection was determined for all groups (n = 6 each). With both (n = 3 each) inhalation therapy and intramuscular administration of FK 506, which showed similar degrees of effectiveness, both blood FK 506 concentration and cytokine expression in the graft and spleen were evaluated. FK 506 inhalation therapy extended allograft survival time and reduced histologic rejection on Day 4 in all groups. Graft survival time and histologic rejection scores at a dose of 10 puffs/day were comparable to those with 0.1 mg/kg/day of intramuscular FK 506. Trough concentrations of FK 506 in blood were detectable with 0.1 mg/kg/day of intramuscular FK 506, but not with 10 puffs/day. The messenger RNA expression levels of interferon-gamma in the lung allograft was suppressed significantly at a dose of 10 puffs/day. FK 506 inhalant enhances acute lung allograft survival with lower blood concentrations than when using comparable intramuscular administration.The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation 06/2005; 24(5):538-43.

Article: Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair With the Aid of Partial Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Heparin-coated Circuits Versus Nonheparin-coated Circuits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have performed descending thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs with partial cardiopulmonary bypass, including heparin-coated circuits. The aim of this study was to evaluate (i) the impact of partial cardiopulmonary bypass on distal organ function and surgical outcomes; and (ii) the effectiveness of using heparin-coated circuits for preventing bleeding complications. From July 1980 to June 2004, 309 patients underwent descending thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs using partial cardiopulmonary bypass. Their mean age was 61 years (range 19-81 years). One hundred of the 309 patients underwent repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with heparin-coated circuits. Blood data for renal and hepatic function were collected on the day before the operation and postoperative days. The in-hospital mortality was 15%. Distal organ dysfunction included spinal cord dysfunction in 2 patients (0.7%) and renal failure necessitating hemodialysis in 15 patients (5%, 15/297: excluded 12 dialysis patients). Multivariate analyses showed that preoperative hemodialysis and emergency operation were risk factors for operative mortality and that emergency operation was a risk factor for requiring hemodialysis. Renal and hepatic function normalized by 2 weeks after surgery. There were no significant differences between the heparin-coated group and nonheparin-coated group in amounts of packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets transfused during the procedures. Our data showed that partial cardiopulmonary bypass is a safe and effective method for distal perfusion. Using this technique, descending thoracic aortic aneurysm repair can be performed with acceptable mortality and morbidity. However, the superiority of heparin-coated circuits over nonheparin-coated ones was not proved.Artificial Organs 05/2005; 29(4):300-5. DOI:10.1111/j.1525-1594.2005.29051.x · 2.05 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: In this report, we describe a new, easy method for putting "U" stitches inside the chest wall.
