ABSTRACT: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication of heparin utilization. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is usually performed to assist in the diagnosis of HIT. ELISAs tend to be sensitive but lack specificity. We sought to utilize a new cut-off to define a positive HIT ELISA. We conducted a prospective observational study of hospitalized patients undergoing ELISA testing. All patients who underwent ELISA testing were eligible for inclusion (n=496). Irrespective of the results, all subjects had confirmatory testing with a serotonin release assay (SRA). We compared a threshold optical density (OD)>1.00 to the current definition of a positive ELISA (OD>0.40) as a screening test for a positive SRA. We used sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating curve to determine whether an OD>1.00 would improve diagnostic accuracy for HIT. The SRA was positive in 10 patients (prevalence: 2.0%). Adjusting the definition of a positive HIT ELISA to >1.00 maintained the sensitivity and negative predictive value at 100% in our cohort. The positive predictive value (PPV) of the higher cutoff OD was more than triple the PPV of an OD>0.40 (41.7% vs 13.3%). No patient with a positive SRA had an OD measurement <1.00. Increasing the OD threshold enhances specificity without noticeably compromising sensitivity. Altering the definition of the HIT ELISA could prevent unnecessary testing and/or treatment with non-heparin based anticoagulants in patients with possible HIT. clinicaltrials.gov (NCT 00946400).Chest 01/2015; 148(1).

Article: Plasma exchange to remove HIT antibodies: Dissociation between enzyme-immunoassay and platelet activation test reactivities[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Repeated therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been advocated to remove heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) IgG antibodies prior to cardiac/vascular surgery in patients who have serologically-confirmed acute or subacute HIT; for this situation, a negative platelet activation assay (e.g., platelet serotonin-release assay [SRA]) has been recommended as the target serological endpoint to permit safe surgery. We compared reactivities in the SRA and an anti-PF4/heparin IgG-specific enzyme-immunoassay (EIA), testing serial serum samples in a patient with recent (subacute) HIT who underwent serial TPE pre-cardiac surgery, as well as for 15 other serially-diluted HIT sera. We observed that post-TPE/diluted HIT sera-when first testing SRA-negative-continue to test strongly positive by EIA-IgG. This dissociation between the platelet activation assay and a PF4-dependent immunoassay for HIT antibodies indicates that patients with subacute HIT undergoing repeated TPE prior to heparin re-exposure should be tested by serial platelet activation assays even when their EIAs remain strongly positive.

Article: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in the critically ill: Interpreting the 4Ts test in a randomized trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Thrombocytopenia occurs in 20% to 45% of critically ill medical-surgical patients. The 4Ts heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) score (with 4 domains: Thrombocytopenia, Timing of thrombocytopenia, Thrombosis and oTher reason[s] for thrombocytopenia) might reliably identify patients at low risk for HIT. Interobserver agreement on 4Ts scoring is uncertain in this setting. To evaluate whether a published clinical prediction rule (the "4Ts score") reliably rules out HIT in "low-risk" intensive care unit (ICU) patients as assessed by research coordinators (who prospectively scored) and 2 adjudicators (who scored retrospectively) during an international heparin thromboprophylaxis trial (PROTECT, NCT00182143). Of 3746 medical-surgical ICU patients in PROTECT, 794 met the enrollment criteria for this HIT substudy. Enrollment was predicated on one of the following occurring in ICU: platelets less than 50 × 10(9)/L, platelets decreased to 50% of ICU admission value (if admission value <100 × 10(9)/L), any venous thrombosis, or if HIT was otherwise clinically suspected. Independently, 4Ts scores were completed in real time by research coordinators blinded to study drug and laboratory HIT results, and retrospectively by 2 adjudicators blinded to study drug, laboratory HIT results, and research coordinators' scores; the adjudicators arrived at consensus in all cases. Of the 763 patients, 474 had a central or local laboratory HIT test performed and had 4Ts scoring by adjudicators; 432 were scored by trained research coordinators. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia was defined by a centrally performed positive serotonin release assay (SRA). Of the 474 patients with central adjudication, 407 (85.9%) had a 4Ts score of 3 or lower, conferring a low pretest probability (PTP) of HIT; of these, 6 (1.5% [95% confidence interval, 0.7%-3.2%) had a positive SRA. Fifty-nine (12.4%) had a moderate PTP (4Ts score of 4-5); of these, 4 (6.8%) had a positive SRA. Eight patients had a high PTP (4Ts score of ≥6); of these, 1 (12.5%) had a positive SRA. Raw agreement between research coordinators and central adjudication on each domain of the 4Ts score and low, intermediate, and high PTP was good. However, chance-corrected agreement was variable between adjudicators (weighted κ values of 0.31-0.93) and between the adjudicator consensus and research coordinators (weighted κ values of 0.13 and 0.78). Post hoc review of the 6 SRA-positive cases with an adjudicated low PTP demonstrated that their scores would have been increased if the adjudicators had had additional information on heparin exposure prior to ICU admission. In general, the fourth domain of 4Ts (oTher causes of thrombocytopenia) generated the most disagreement. Real-time 4Ts scoring by research coordinators at the time of testing for HIT was not consistent with 4Ts scores obtained by central adjudicators. The results of this comprehensive HIT testing highlight the need for further research to improve the assessment of PTP scoring of HIT for critically ill patients.Journal of critical care 02/2014; 29(3).

Article: Serological investigation of patients with a previous history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia who are reexposed to heparin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Heparin re-exposure despite a history of previous heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can be appropriate if platelet-activating antibodies are no longer detectable. We determined the frequency, timing, and magnitude of the anti-PF4/heparin immune response (by serotonin-release assay [SRA] and enzyme-immunoassay [EIA]), and the frequency of recurrent HIT, in 20 patients with previous HIT re-exposed to heparin 4.4 years (mean) post-HIT; 17 patients were given heparin intraoperatively (without postoperative heparin) for cardiac/vascular surgery. One patient developed recurrent HIT beginning 7 days post-cardiac surgery, with newly-regenerated HIT antibodies exhibiting strong heparin-independent platelet-activating properties. Intraoperative heparin induced EIA seroconversion in 11/17 (65%) patients (IgG>IgA>IgM) and SRA seroconversion in 8/17 (47%), whereas none of 3 medical patients re-exposed to heparin developed seroconversion. Anti-PF4/heparin IgG became detectable at day 7 (median), i.e., no sooner than observed in typical-onset HIT. The high proportion of SRA-positivity among EIA-seroconverting patients (8/11 [73%]) suggests that patients with previous HIT may be especially predisposed to forming recurrent antibodies with platelet-activating properties. We conclude that among patients with a previous history of HIT who are re-exposed to intraoperative (but not postoperative) heparin the risk of recurrent HIT appears to be low, but is possible if antibodies with strong heparin-independent platelet-activating properties are formed.Blood 02/2014; 123(16).

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In a recent multicenter randomized trial comparing unfractionated heparin (UFH) with low-molecular-weight heparin (dalteparin) for thromboprophylaxis in 3746 critically-ill patients, 17 (0.5%) patients developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) based on serotonin-release assay-positive (SRA+) status. A trend to lower frequency of HIT with dalteparin vs UFH was observed in the intention-to-treat analysis (5 vs 12 patients; P=0.14), which was statistically significant (3 vs 12 patients; P=0.046) in a prespecified per-protocol analysis which excluded patients with deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) at study entry. We sought to characterize HIT outcomes and to determine how dalteparin thromboprophylaxis might reduce HIT frequency in ICU patients. METHODS: In 17 patients with HIT, we analyzed platelet counts and thrombotic events in relation to study drug and other open-label heparin, to determine whether study drug plausibly explained seroconversion to SRA+ status and/or breakthrough of thrombocytopenia/thrombosis. We also compared antibody frequencies (dalteparin vs UFH) in 409 patients serologically investigated for HIT. RESULTS: HIT-associated thrombosis occurred in 10/17 (58.8%) patients (8:1:1 venous:arterial:both). Dalteparin was associated with fewer study drug-attributable HIT-related events (P=0.020), including less seroconversion (P=0.058) and less breakthrough of thrombocytopenia/thrombosis (P=0.032). Anti-PF4/heparin IgG antibodies by ELISA were less frequent among patients receiving dalteparin vs UFH (13.5% vs 27.3%; P<0.001). One patient with HIT-associated DVT died post-UFH bolus, whereas platelet counts recovered in two others with HIT-associated VTE despite continuation of therapeutic-dose UFH. CONCLUSIONS: The lower risk of HIT in ICU patients receiving dalteparin appears related to both decreased antibody formation and decreased clinical breakthrough of HIT among patients forming antibodies.Chest 05/2013; DOI:10.1378/chest.13-0057 · 7.48 Impact Factor
Article: Anti-PF4/heparin antibodies and venous graft occlusion in postcoronary artery bypass surgery patients randomized to postoperative unfractionated heparin or fondaparinux thromboprophylaxis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Anti-PF4/heparin antibodies are frequently generated after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, with platelet-activating IgG implicated in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). It is controversial whether non-platelet-activating antibodies are associated with thrombosis. To determine in post-CABG patients whether thromboprophylaxis using fondaparinux vs. unfractionated heparin (UFH) reduces the frequency of anti-PF4/heparin antibodies, and whether anti-PF4/heparin antibodies are associated with early graft occlusion. In a pre-planned secondary analysis of a randomized control trial (RCT) comparing fondaparinux vs. UFH thromboprophylaxis post-CABG, we determined the frequency of anti-PF4/heparin antibody formation by solid-phase enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) and of platelet-activating antibodies by serotonin-release assay (SRA); the SRA and fluid-phase EIA were used to assess fondaparinux cross-reactivity. We also examined whether anti-PF4/heparin antibodies were associated with early arterial or venous graft occlusion (6-week CT angiography). We found no significant difference in the frequency of antibody formation between patients who received fondaparinux vs. UFH (65.3% vs. 46.0%; P = 0.069), and no significant fondaparinux cross-reactivity. Venous graft occlusion(s) occurred in 6/26 patients who formed 'strong' IgG antibodies (≥ 1.0 optical density [OD] units and ≥ 2× baseline) vs. 3/66 who did not (P = 0.0139). In both unadjusted and adjusted analyses, strong postoperative (but not pre-operative) anti-PF4/heparin IgG responses were associated with a markedly increased risk of early venous (but not arterial) graft occlusion (adjusted OR, 9.25 [95% CI, 1.73, 49.43]; P = 0.0093); notably, none of the three SRA-positive patients developed a venous graft occlusion. Fondaparinux vs. UFH thromboprophylaxis postCABG does not reduce anti-PF4/heparin antibody formation. Non-platelet-activating anti-PF4/heparin IgG antibodies generated post operatively are associated with early venous graft occlusion.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 12/2012; 11(2).

Article: Fondaparinux treatment of acute heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) confirmed by a positive serotonin-release assay a 30-month, 16-patient case series[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fondaparinux is theoretically an attractive agent for the treatment of immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a prothrombotic disorder caused by platelet-activating anti-platelet factor 4/heparin antibodies. Although reports of the use of fondaparinux for this indication have thus far been favorable, the diagnosis of HIT in most cases was not based on definitive laboratory confirmation of heparin-dependent, platelet-activating antibodies. To report thrombotic and major bleeding outcomes with fondaparinux in patients with a high likelihood of having acute HIT based on clinical features and a positive result in the confirmatory platelet serotonin-release assay (SRA), a sensitive and specific test for platelet-activating HIT antibodies. We reviewed consecutive eligible patients with SRA-positive HIT (mean peak serotonin release, 91% [normal, < 20%]; mean IgG-specific PF4/heparin enzyme immunoassay result, 2.53 optical density units [normal, < 0.45 units]) in one medical center over a 30-month period who received fondaparinux for anticoagulation during acute HIT (platelet count, < 150 × 10(9) L(-1)). Where available, plasma samples were used to measure thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complex levels. Results: Sixteen patients with SRA-positive HIT received fondaparinux: 14 surgical (11 after cardiac surgery; three after vascular surgery) and two medical (acute stroke). Fifty-six per cent of patients had HIT-associated thrombosis at the time of diagnosis. No patient developed new, recurrent or progressive thrombosis; one patient developed a major bleed (calf hematoma). One patient judged to have irreversible tissue necrosis before receiving fondaparinux therapy ultimately required limb amputation. TAT complex levels were reduced within 24 h of starting fondaparinux, and 13 of 13 patients were successfully switched to warfarin. Fondaparinux shows promise for the treatment of patients with SRA-positive acute HIT.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 08/2011; 9(12):2389-96.

Article: Prospective multicentre cohort study of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in acute ischaemic stroke patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute ischaemic stroke patients sometimes receive heparin for treatment and/or prophylaxis of thromboembolic complications. This study was designed to elucidate the incidence and clinical features of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in acute stroke patients treated with heparin. We conducted a prospective multicentre cohort study of 267 patients who were admitted to three stroke centres within 7 d after stroke onset. We examined clinical data until discharge and collected blood samples on days 1 and 14 of hospitalization to test anti-platelet factor 4/heparin antibodies (anti-PF4/H Abs) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); platelet-activating antibodies were identified by serotonin-release assay (SRA). Patients with a 4Ts score ≥4 points, positive-ELISA, and positive-SRA were diagnosed as definite HIT. Heparin was administered to 172 patients (64·4%: heparin group). Anti-PF4/H Abs were detected by ELISA in 22 cases (12·8%) in the heparin group. Seven patients had 4Ts ≥ 4 points. Among them, three patients (1·7% overall) were also positive by both ELISA and SRA. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission was high (range, 16-23) and in-hospital mortality was very high (66·7%) in definite HIT patients. In this study, the incidence of definite HIT in acute ischaemic stroke patients treated with heparin was 1·7% (95% confidence interval: 0·4-5·0). The clinical severity and outcome of definite HIT were unfavourable.British Journal of Haematology 06/2011; 154(3):378-86. DOI:10.1111/j.1365-2141.2011.08775.x · 4.71 Impact Factor
Article: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: Towards standardization of platelet factor 4/heparin antigen tests[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Laboratory confirmation of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is based on detection of heparin-dependent platelet-activating antibodies. Platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin enzyme-immunoassays (EIA) are a widely available surrogate for platelet-activating antibodies. Defining the optical density (OD) reactivity profiles of a PF4/heparin EIA in reference subject and patient populations and the correlation of the EIA results (expressed in OD units) with the prevalence of platelet-activating antibodies. Using quantile regression we determined the 97.5th percentile of PF4/heparin-immunoglobulin G (IgG) EIA reactivities in non-heparin-treated individuals [blood donors (n = 935)] and patients before heparin therapy (n = 1207). In patients with suspected HIT, we compared the correlation of EIA-IgG reactivities (Greifswald laboratory; n = 2821) and the heparin-induced platelet activation assay (HIPA) with the correlation of reactivities of another EIA-IgG (McMaster laboratory; n = 1956) with the serotonin-release assay (SRA). PF4/heparin-IgG EIA OD reactivities had a lower OD 97.5th percentile in blood donors compared with patient groups before heparin treatment (P < 0.001). The percentage of sera testing positive in the functional assays strongly correlated with PF4/heparin-IgG EIA OD reactivities in both laboratories with very similar results (correlation coefficient > 0.9) when normalized OD ranges (maximum OD divided by 10) were used instead of absolute OD values. Results of PF4/heparin-IgG EIA should not be reported as only positive or negative as there is no single acceptable cut-off value. Instead, reporting PF4/heparin-IgG EIA OD results in ranges allows for risk-stratified prediction for presence of platelet-activating antibodies. Use of normalized OD ranges permits a standardized approach for inter-laboratory comparisons.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 09/2010; 8(9):2025-31.

Article: Immune mechanisms in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: No evidence for immunoglobulin M anti-idiotype antibodies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), which is caused by platelet (PLT)-activating immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies against platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin complexes, differs from other immune responses seen in immunohematology: IgG antibodies are formed as early as 5 days even without previous heparin exposure; antibodies are remarkably transient (<100 days); HIT is more frequent in postsurgery patients compared with medical patients despite administering the same type and dose of heparin; and increasing evidence implicates autoantibody-like reactivity of anti-PF4/heparin antibodies. We hypothesized that these unusual features could be caused by loss of regulatory anti-idiotype IgM antibodies due to disturbance (e.g., by surgery) of an idiotype-anti-idiotype network. Sera were obtained prospectively before heparin administration and during the immunization phase of HIT and also from patients with previous HIT after waning of antibodies to nondetectable levels. To detect inhibitory IgM anti-idiotype antibodies, we performed serum coincubation experiments and IgG purification by protein G and size filtration to exclude coprecipitating IgM. Sera (n = 3) containing known anti-PF4/heparin IgG or IgM antibodies and normal sera (n = 20) were processed as controls. Fifteen preimmune response sera (seroconverting in the PF4/heparin-IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay only [n = 4] or additionally in a PLT activation assay [n = 5] or in both assays plus thrombosis [n = 6]) and four sera of previously immunized patients were included. Neither did the neat sera inhibit binding of anti-PF4/heparin antibodies nor did the purified IgG fractions show enhanced binding to PF4/heparin complexes. The atypical immunologic features of HIT do not appear to be caused by disruption of an idiotype (IgG)-anti-idiotype (IgM) network.Transfusion 06/2009; 49(9):1812-8.

ABSTRACT: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is caused by platelet-activating antibodies that recognize PF4/heparin complexes. Uncertainties remain regarding HIT immunobiology, including the temporal relation of antibody formation to onset of thrombocytopenia, and whether immunoglobulin class switching occurs. Using serial plasma samples from 2 heparin thromboprophylaxis trials, we determined the time of onset, antibody levels, and immunoglobulin class distributions (IgG, IgA, IgM) for 12 patients with HIT and 36 patients who formed anti-PF4/heparin antibodies, but did not develop HIT ("seropositive non-HIT controls"). In patients with HIT, anti-PF4/heparin antibodies became detectable 4 days (median) after starting heparin; antibody detection preceded the platelet count decline by 2 days (median). Patients with HIT produced higher levels of IgG antibodies, but similar IgA and IgM levels, compared with seropositive non-HIT controls. Among all 48 seroconverting patients, the first day of a positive antibody test (median, day 6) did not differ among the immunoglobulin classes. Thus, the HIT immune response does not exhibit the classic paradigm of IgM class precedence/immunoglobulin class switching; rather, relatively rapid formation of IgG antibodies is observed, sometimes with concomitant IgA and IgM formation. Compared with seropositive non-HIT controls, HIT patients develop significantly higher anti-PF4/heparin IgG levels that are detectable before the onset of thrombocytopenia.Blood 02/2009; 113(20):4963-9.

ABSTRACT: The immune response in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is puzzling: heparin-naive patients can develop IgG antibodies and clinical HIT as early as day 5, and evidence for an anamnestic response on heparin reexposure is lacking. We assessed daily serum samples by anti-PF4/heparin enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) in patients receiving heparin thromboprophylaxis. Of 435 patients, 56.1% showed an increase in EIA optical density (OD) of more than or equal to 15%, with more than 90% starting between days 4 and 14. After reaching maximum reactivity by days 10 to 12, ODs declined despite heparin continuation, including in 2 patients with clinical HIT. Individual IgG/A/M classes showed identical time of onset (median, day 6). Most (58.7%) antibody-positive patients developed all 3 Ig classes; only 11.3% lacked IgG response. IgG/A/M increase usually occurred simultaneously (+/- 1 day) with no general tendency for IgM precedence. Consistent with the transient immune response, none of the IgG-EIA-positive (OD > 0.5) patients at discharge developed clinically evident thrombosis during extended low-molecular-weight heparin thromboprophylaxis. The rapid onset of the anti-PF4/heparin immune response, its transience, and the simultaneous appearance of antibodies of different classes with no IgM precedence suggest short-term activation of B cells that have previously undergone Ig-class switching even without previous pharmacologic heparin exposure.Blood 12/2008; 113(20):4970-6.

Article: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia - therapeutic concentrations of danaparoid, unlike fondaparinux and direct thrombin inhibitors, inhibit formation of platelet factor 4-heparin complexes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a disorder in which anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4)-heparin antibodies cause platelet activation and hypercoagulability, requires alternative (non-heparin) anticoagulation. Treatment options include direct thrombin inhibitors [lepirudin and argatroban (approved), and bivalirudin], danaparoid (approved) (mixture of anticoagulant glycosaminoglycans), or fondaparinux (synthetic heparin-mimicking pentasaccharide). PF4-heparin complexes form at optimal stoichiometric ratios. To compare the effects of these various non-heparin anticoagulants in disrupting the formation of PF4-heparin complexes, and PF4-containing immune complexes. Sera were obtained from patients with serologically confirmed HIT. The effects of the alternative anticoagulants on PF4 and PF4-heparin complex interactions with platelets, as well as HIT antibody binding and platelet activation, were investigated. Danaparoid at very low concentrations increased PF4 binding to platelets. In therapeutic concentrations, however, it decreased PF4 binding to platelets (P = 0.0004), displaced PF4-heparin complexes from platelets (P = 0.0033) and PF4 from the surface of a PF4-transfected HEK-293 EBNA cell line expressing the PF4 receptor CXCR3-B (P = 0.0408), reduced PF4-heparin complex size (P = 0.025), inhibited HIT antibody binding to PF4-heparin complexes (P = 0.001), and prevented platelet activation by HIT antibodies (P = 0.046). Although fondaparinux also interfered with PF4 binding to platelets, HIT antibody binding to PF4-heparin complexes, and activation of platelets by HIT antibodies, these effects occurred only at supratherapeutic concentrations. The direct thrombin inhibitors had no effect at any concentrations. Danaparoid uniquely interferes with the pathogenesis of HIT by disrupting PF4-containing immune complexes at therapeutic dose concentrations. It is possible that these effects contribute to its therapeutic efficacy.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 11/2008; 6(12):2160-7. DOI:10.1111/j.1538-7836.2008.03171.x · 5.72 Impact Factor
Article: Quantitative interpretation of optical density measurements using PF4-dependent enzyme-immunoassays[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many laboratories test for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) using a PF4-dependent enzyme-immunoassay (EIA). An advantage of the EIA is its simplicity; a disadvantage is that it only indirectly detects heparin-dependent, platelet-activating antibodies ('HIT antibodies'). To determine whether the magnitude of a positive EIA result, expressed in optical density (OD) units, predicts risk of HIT antibodies, defined as a strong-positive platelet serotonin-release assay (SRA) result (>or=50% serotonin release). We determined the risk of a strong-positive SRA result for five categories of OD reactivity (<0.40, 0.40-<1.00, 1.00-<1.40, 1.40-<2.00, and >or=2.00 OD units) using two EIAs (commercial anti-PF4/polyanion IgG/A/M and in-house anti-PF4/heparin-IgG). For patient sera investigated for HIT antibodies, a weak-positive result (0.40-<1.00 OD units) in either EIA indicated a low probability (<or=5%) of a strong-positive SRA; the risk increased to approximately 90% with an OD >or= 2.00 units. Quantifying the EIA-SRA relationship for 1553 referred patient sera, we found that for every increase of 0.50 OD units in the EIA-IgG, the risk of a strong-positive SRA result increased by OR = 6.39 [95% confidence interval (CI), 5.13, 7.95; P < 0.0001]. For every increase of 1.00 OD units in the EIA-IgG, the risk increased by OR = 40.81 (95% CI, 26.35, 63.20; P < 0.0001). The probability of HIT antibodies (strong-positive SRA result) inferred by a positive PF4-dependent EIA varies considerably in relation to the magnitude of the EIA result, expressed as OD values. In our laboratory, the probability of HIT antibodies being present reached >or=50% only when the OD level was >or=1.40 units.Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis 05/2008; 6(8):1304-12.

1992 Buick Lesabre • 6 cylinder Automatic • 1 miles
I'm a repeat customer, lol. Just had a question answered about my heating unit but now i'm having a problem with my brakes on my 1992 Buick Lesabre. The brake booster went out, we replaced, then the master cylinder went out, and we replaced that too. Now we are having trouble still with getting pressure to build up. It will build up if I RAPIDLY pump the brakes (about 5x before pressure builds up). We've attempted several times to bleed from the master cylinder and are still having problems. We've checked all the lines, and there are no leaks. Should we continue to bleed the master cylinder AND the lines or is there something we are missing? I appreciate the help greatly!
November 22, 2010.

When bleeding, are you starting from the right rear and working to the closest brake? (Right rear, left rear, right front, left front) Also, does the pedal go to the floor?
We only tried to bleed from the master cylinder last night. The pedal does go all the way to the floor, if the motor is running. Straight to the floor. This has been an on-going problem for me. Been dealing with the brakes on this car for about 6 weeks now. From the sounds of it, does it just seem like we need to continue bleeding the lines? Or does it sound like there's possibly something else going on? Joe, I really really appreciate the help you've given me. Its been very precise and has helped me out tremendously.

I'm glad to help. I just want to help get this fixed. I have to be honest. Even though you replaced the master cylender, it sounds bad. That is if nothing is leaking. Did you "bench bleed" the master cylender prior to installing it? Also, have you bled the brakes at each wheel starting at the farthest wheel (pass side rear) and working to the closest?
Let me know. We'll figure this out.

WALLA WALLA - Local riders Dean Hoalst and Ernie Schrader competed in endurance races at Bandit Springs in the Ochoco National Forest in central Oregon June 9 and 10.
Hoalst rode in the 80-mile race, with horse Pay Attention. He was riding near the front when his horse stepped on a rock, bruising its foot and ending his competition for the day.
The next day, Hoalst rode Rocket in the 50-mile race, establishing a substantial early lead, but went off-trail and got lost for about 10 miles, allowing other horses to pass. Hoalst returned to the trail and completed the required miles, eventually finishing in fourth place, making up a 30-minute time gap in the last 10 miles and his horse getting all 'A's' in the final vet check.
Schrader rode with injuries in the 30-mile race, with Captain Calypso. Despite losing his way five times, he crossed the ride in first, but pulsed down to the required completion criteria for 30 mile races of 60 beats per minute about 15 seconds after another horse, to receive an official second place finish.
The next day, Schrader's injuries forced him to have a colleague ride Captain Calypso on the 25-mile race. The other top horses were not fit to compete again, so there were many fresh horses in the field.
But Captain Calypso established a 45-minute lead in the first 15 miles, then finished about an hour and a half in front of the field at the end of the race. Captain Calypso also won the Best Condition award.
Most endurance rides include natural terrain threats and falls, but this ride was through an area with wild mustangs and included another concern: a wild black mustang.
The aggressive stallion attacked two separate groups of riders, running beside them, biting, kicking and rearing. The riders had to use their crops and branches to defend themselves and their horses from the stallion.
Eventually, a rider who was familiar with the area helped the groups escape. He galloped ahead to a gate, then had the groups follow him and closed the gate before the mustang could get through. It later jumped several cattle guards and came close to the riding camp, but did not enter.

About This Activity
The movements of Sword Dance are graceful, with brave posture and lavish variations. The body can be roughly divided into the two types of "standing sword" and "moving sword". The "standing sword" swift movements and statue-like standing position and the "moving sword" is focused on ongoing movements that are even and determined, just like floating clouds and flowing water.

15-Second Balance Test: Do You Pass?
Balance is defined as the "even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady". Balance is a very important area of fitness (especially as we age) because a good sense of balance can help you react quickly, prevent injuries, and accidents. Balance is also an indicator of overall fitness as people who are fit and active on average have better balance than others who are sedentary.
There are two main types of balance tests: static and dynamic. During a static balance test, you maintain a single position for as long as possible while timing the results. During a dynamic balance test, you are testing your balance as you are moving. The following test is a dynamic balance test that only takes 15 seconds. For more balance tests, you can check out this link: More Balance Tests.
15-Second Dynamic Balance Test Instructions
The starting and resting position is standing on one foot, just like in the photo below.
Go back and forth between the 4 balance positions below and the starting position while staying on one foot the entire time. Hold each position for 1-2 seconds.
To make the test harder, complete the test with your eyes closed.
Balance Test Exercise #1: Extend Your Leg Forwards
Balance Test Exercise #2: Extend Your Leg Sideways
Balance Test Exercise #3: Extend Your Leg Backwards
Balance Test Exercise #4: Flex Knee at 90 Degree Angle
Now Do The Balance Test Again With Your Eyes Closed!
Tips on Improving Your Balance
1) Be Active – Most activities that are weight bearing and keep you on your feet will help maintain your bodies balance system. Strength training for example can help you increase joint and tendon strength, and improve stability. Playing sports can also help improve your balance substantially.
2) Stretch – Improving range of motion in your joints will help improve your stability.
3) Try Pilates, or Yoga – Pilates and Yoga can be excellent compliments to a strength training program that can help dramatically improve your balance and flexibility.

Thanks again Marc for all the great info you share with us.

Could not do the Balance Test with my eyes closed. Thanks for the challenge.
Most important tip on improving your balance: Avoid mirrors in the gym. You want your balance to come from within, not visually. Squatting or pressing without looking at a mirror is weird at first, and you're going to have to drop some weight to begin with, but it'll give you a much better sense of balance. Use a mirror only to correct your form.
I don't even have to try this to know the answer: no
I did ok with my eyes closed using my right foot, though I was a little shaky towards the end. I failed on my left foot going backwards with my eyes closed. After I hurt my ankle my PT had me do something similar to build up the strength of my balancing muscles. Its surprising how much closing your eyes changes things!
April 30, 2011 #
I did the test perfect until I closed my eyes. I guess I will keep practicing! Thanks.
August 25, 2011 #
The basic balance test was quite easy. I managed it (though a tad shaky) with my eyes closed. I just got a wobble board yesterday, and I thought I'd try it on that – it was quite fun! I'm not yet game to try it with my eyes closed on the wobble board.

Hi there,
Great vid. Would just like to find out from you what are the parameters for the test? E.g, Is 1-2s hold good or just fair and is 5s hold very good etc.

If you like Avant Gard Atonal Jazz music then you will love Beijing opera. If you don't bring plenty of cotton for your ears.
I can't bear opera in Italian. In Mandarin it must sound like cats going through a fiddle factory.
any language can be improved by singing
Read Mark Kitto's article online
Interesting article and video. Beautiful singing too and let me make it clear that what I'm about to write has nothing to do with the singers involved in the programme, who are all very talented.
I actually saw the 2011 I Sing Beijing concert at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and enjoyed myself for the most part. However, what I feel the modern Mandarin repertoire of arias lacks in comparison to the European repertoire is depth and a wide range of emotions. All the Mandarin arias performed at the 2011 concert (and in this video) were very joyous tales of love and heroism and nationalism, which is all very well but without a balance is tiring and feels very artificial. The European songs performed on the day, however, apart from similarly upbeat arias also had some very sad and dark ones which reflect more closely the human experience. It sounds cliched, but I imagine this is a result of Chinese Communism where the laobaixing (commoners) in art are depicted as being carefree and happy thanks to the benevolence of the CCP.
Another point, I found it interesting that every line in this video is subtitled, except at the end when they're singing Wo Ai Ni Zhongguo ("I Love You China"). The verse leading up to it is subtitled in English, but as soon as it reaches the line "I Love You China", there are no subtitles. I'm sure the singers knew what they were singing and I'm not suggesting they were tricked into singing nationalist tunes, but it's interesting that I Sing Beijing (funded by Hanban, a Chinese government department) chose to hide from non Mandarin-speaking audiences the nationalist nature of many of the arias included on the programme. I would've liked the author of this article to have gone more into the politics behind the all-expenses-paid programme and how it is a very conscious soft power push by the Chinese government. It's also very telling that at the 2011 concert, my ticket and the tickets of everyone I spoke to were gifted by Hanban.
Americans are too lazy to learn Spanish. Learning Mandarin would be impossible for most of them.
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an American.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they were American too.
Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
"Because I am not an American."
"Then", asks the teacher, "What are you?"
"I'm a proud Canadian," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Canadian.
"Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so I'm a Canadian too."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"
A pause, and a smile. "Then," says Kristen, "I'd be an American."
President Xi Jinping's effort to clean up politics in the country is generally known as an "anticorruption campaign." In fact, he has a more ambitious agenda.
Earlier this month, Zhang Qi had to wait nearly an hour to get a taxi. In China, that became big news.
China's dramatic announcement that it will modify the one-child policy affects not only families but also the immense bureaucracy dedicated to enforcing the 35-year-old policy.
A article labeled as a confession by official media raises questions about resistance to China's anticorruption crackdown nearly three years into the high-level campaign.
After Xi Jinping remade the Chinese presidency, there are signs that No. 2 Li Keqiang is trying to do the same for his position.

|The relationship between serum adiponectin levels with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23020536 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Adiponectin plays important roles in the endocrine and cardiovascular systems, in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and inflammation. In this study the relationship between adiponectin levels with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is evaluated.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that enrolled 213 persons who referred for coronary angiography. One cardiologist reported the results of each coronary angiography by using two scoring systems [number of vessel disease (usual method) and Gensini scoring system]. Then, the relationship between adiponectin levels with the presence and severity of CAD as well as predictive factors for CAD were evaluated.
RESULTS: There was a significant negative association between mean serum adiponectin levels and presence of CAD (P = 0.04) after adjustment for all conventional risk factors for CAD. Also there was a significant negative correlation between serum adiponectin levels and severity of CAD based on the usual method for reporting coronary angiograms (P = 0.01). After adjustment for all conventional risk factors for CAD the serum adiponectin level tended to be inversely associated with the Gensini score (P = 0.09). Logistic regression analysis showed that a higher serum adiponectin level was negatively and independently associated with CAD (odds ratio: 0.94; 95% confidence interval: 0.88-1.00; P < 0.05). The variables predictive of serum adiponectin levels were determined as follows: HDL-cholesterol (P = 0.001); age (P = 0.002); insulin resistance (P = 0.005) and triglycerides (P = 0.036).
CONCLUSIONS: This cross-sectional study showed a significant negative association between serum adiponectin levels to the presence and severity of CAD.

Excellent ToursRead MoreLicensed professional tour guides could tell you about the design plan of the U.S. Capitol, the specifics of the congressional resolution to build the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and the quotes engraved on the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. Or, they could show you. Excellent Tours' four experienced guides share their knowledge of the capital during three narrated tours aboard vans, mini-buses, and coach buses. Each tour includes stops at the White House, Capitol building, Lincoln Memorial, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, which is where the similarities end. Tours run at three different times and visit several different additional sights, such as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the World War II Memorial. During each excursion, guides divulge facts such as how President Theodore Roosevelt gave the White House its name in 1901, and why the engineer who laid the cornerstone of the Washington Monument used the same trowel George Washington used nearly a century earlier instead of the nice one his mother bought for him.4016 Meadow Trail LnHyattsville, MD US

Short Description:
The aim of this paper is to present mathematical models for computers and computation, and derive results about what can and cannot be computed. It deals with idealised computers (automata) which operate on idealised input and output (formal languages). For example, we prove that it is impossible to write a computer program that takes as input any computer program and tells us whether or not that program will end up in an endless loop (the halting problem). Quantum computing will also be briefly described and the Church-Turing Thesis will be critically discussed. In addition we will discuss some problems in algorithmic complexity.
We assume you are comfortable with formal mathematical proofs and can write them properly.
Automata and regular languages
Computability and decidability
Algorithmic complexity
Church-Turing Thesis
Quantum computing
Expected learning outcomes:
On completion, students will be able to
explain the theoretical limits on computational solutions of undecidable and inherently complex problems
describe concrete examples of computationally undecidable or inherently infeasible problems from different fields
understand formal definitions of machine models, classical and quantum
prove the undecidability or complexity of a variety of problems
understand the issue of whether there are limits of computability

If you're a first-time projector user or simply want a fuss-free XGA projector that's easy to use, the Epson EB-X02, packed with user-friendly and smart features, is ideal.
The EB-X02 is equally at home in a meeting room and your living room. This makes it a great choice if you're looking for a multi-purpose projector that's suitable for both watching movies and giving presentations. As the EB-X02 is compact and lightweight, you have the flexibility of installing it on the ceiling, or using it as a mobile projector.
Plug in, connect one cable, and start. It's that simple. Thanks to Epson's unique features, setting-up couldn't be easier.
Whether you want to watch films in the daytime, or present with the lights on so your audience can take notes, the EB–X02 is bright enough to handle it. With a Colour and White Light output of 2,600 lumens and a high contrast ratio of 3,000:1, you'll enjoy perfect picture quality, natural–looking colours and excellent brightness.
You can use the EB–X02 for 5,000 hours in eco mode before you have to think about replacing the lamp. Saving you even more money, Epson's unique E–TORL lamp produces more light while using less energy than most other lamps.
Epson had a bright idea -- measure the the colour light output (CLO) instead of just the white. High CLO means colours are up to 3 times brighter than 1-chip DLP projectors, meaning you don't need to worry about your presentation displaying dark, dull images -- with an Epson projector you'll get maximum impact.
Colour is an important part of image quality, which is why a projector's colour brightness, given in lumens, is important to know. If it's not as high as the white brightness, images are duller and colours may appear washed out. Measure the brightness of the red, green and blue light and the resulting value is your Colour Brightness or Colour Light Output (CLO).
Digital projectors produce colour in different ways, resulting in big differences in colour brightness. Many manufacturers only quote the brightness in lumens of their projectors' white light. This just shows how bright a projector is when showing a plain white image; it doesn't give the full picture.
As the number one projector manufacturer in Europe1, Epson leads the market in the development of projector technology. Epson projectors use a 3LCD projection engine to deliver bright, clear images that are rich in detail and colour.
Many other projectors use 1–chip DLP2 projector systems, which create thousands of pulses of coloured light per second. They do this by shining lamp light through red, green, blue and white3 parts of a rotating colour wheel. These light pulses are then reflected by a DMD4 device, which is on a hinge and has a tiny mirror for each pixel of the image.
The series of rapid colour bursts is then projected onto the screen. The viewer's brain can't pick out the individual flickers – it mixes the basic colours that appear in succession in each pixel to come up with the final colour the viewer sees.
Epson's 3LCD system works differently, using a combination of dichroic mirrors to separate the white light from the projector lamp into red, green and blue light. Each of the three light colours is then passed through its own LCD panel and recombined using a prism before being projected onto the screen.
With 1–chip DLP technology, colour break–up or the 'rainbow effect' can sometimes be seen. This occurs when the eye perceives the individual colours, and is a result of the colours being projected sequentially by the colour wheel. Epson's 3LCD technology avoids this by including all three basic colours in each pixel of the projection, delivering superior Colour Light Output that's easier on the eyes.
Epson E-TORL lamps deliver exceptional brightness while using less energy. They do this by using a unique configuration of reflectors to capture light. This improved efficiency means that Epson E-TORL lamps are better for both budgets and the environment.

Chamber Music America, Take One
Smith, Ken, Strings
NEW YORK, NEW YORK-Chamber Music America has flirted with jazz and folk music in the past, but its national conference in New York in January finally brought the courtship right out into the open. Consciously picking up on a theme from a 1998 CMA panel, where New York Times critic Edward Rothstein sounded a crisis of the Western tradition while Los Angeles Times critic Mark Swed simultaneously reveled in exciting new musical hybrids, this at these recent developments.
Right from the first session, conference speaker Frank Oteri took CMA's own definition of chamber music ("music played without a conductor, one musician to a part") in some definite ethnomusicological directions. Oteri, a composer who edits the American Music Center's Web site, wore his own biases with such grace that even some skeptical audience members admitted that Japanesse court music, the Modern Jazz Quartet, and the Grateful Dead all, in some way, fit the bill, with some presenters even admitting that they would consider such musical styles on their own series under the right circumstances, such as booking a bluegrass group on a program with composers who, like Edgar Meyer for example, have been heavily influenced by the style.
That same spirit prevailed at CMA's commissioning showcase, where pieces funded by the organization got a fine hearing from the groups who commissioned them. Aaron Jay Kernis' Pulitzer Prizewinning second string quartet, musica instrumentalis (performed by the Lark Quartet), fell squarely within the Western tradition. Beijing-born composer ZhOU Long drew heavily on his native musical sound world in Spirit of Chimes (performed by the Peabody Trio), and composer Dave Douglass' own background as a jazz player infused his piece for the String 'Trio of New York, entitled In So Many Words. …

The tune, which Boston has played during every eighth-inning since 2002 was played at every Major League Park in solidarity with the city in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing. Diamond flew in especially to sing to the Beantown crowd for the first game at Fenway following the tragedy. Diamond told The Los Angeles Times: "What resonates for me tonight is the way music can offer comfort to people in times of joy or sorrow. With a tragedy like this, there are no words, but if people can find healing in music, this is the reason I've been doing this for the last 50 years. It goes beyond what I ever imagined."

Just another day in South Africa's rhino wars. These four rhinos were killed by poachers in Lalibela Game Reserve, in the Eastern Cape. The animals may have come together to defend themselves after they were darted with a tranquilizer. The owners of the animals suspect the horns were taken while the rhinos were still alive, immobilized under heavy sedation. Photo courtesy of Lalibela.

Respond to Review of Momo
by AliE
Review: Delicious food- really really delicious and great choice. The only place in Krakow that has a proper vegan menu- rather than asking the people at other vegetarian restaurants what IS vegan or what CAN be veganised. Very friendly staff and exceptionally cheap compared to ie-UK, US or AUS vegan restaurant prices. Go there every day!!!!

Cross-purposes: lesbians, feminists, and the limits of alliance
Indiana University Press, 1997 - Social Science - 238 pages
The fifteen essays collected in this volume stage a long-overdue critical examination of the history, current condition, and evolving shape of lesbian alliances with U.S. feminists. The contributors to Cross Purposes: Lesbian Studies, Feminist Studies, and the Limits of Alliance are situated in multiple and sometimes contradictory ways within the interrelated fields of lesbian and gay studies, womenOtilde;s studies, and queer theory. Their mutual purpose is to create a forum for discussion of the strengths, risks, and limits of the lesbian alliance with feminism at a time when the former is defining its own disciplinary space within queer studies, while the latter continues to question the presumed coherence of its foundational category, Ograve;women.Oacute; This collection will explore a complicated but increasingly apparent dilemma: If the social and aesthetic significance of the terms Ograve;lesbianOacute; and Ograve;feministOacute; can be said to derive from the same historical projects, or if the development of lesbian studies is understood in some sense as coextensive with the development of feminist studies, then how are contemporary scholars and critics participating in the emergence of a lesbian studies paradigm. Cross Purposes is an invitation to question alliances in the interests of reforming and strengthening them. This collection stands on the borders where identity politics sometimes falls through the cracks. Its objective is to see how and where to situate lesbianism in relation to feminism.
