EDIT2: Hey there are soooo many wonderful comments that I couldn't really get to them all, so here is a MASS THANK YOU! to all who supported me in this contest! I still can't believe it.
Just saw this film. It's one I've wanted to see for a long time and it was so worth the wait. Beautiful film and your artwork is just as beautiful! I just love how you put this picture together, especially with the hats flying off and everything! Just amazing!
Malaysia uses this as a DVD cover for the movie
That's hilarious.
EDIT ooh sorry I scrolled down and saw you already knew
sorry ;;
sorry ;;
This has been my background on many platforms for so long! I really like the whole split drawing idea, and this was very well done! Why did you choose to build a different plane to the A6M Zero that Horikoshi made?
I had no idea what the plane was, as I hadn't seen the movie yet. I just looked at art from the movie and referenced real planes from that time period and kind of "made up" my own.
I just wanted to let you know that this seller and probably many others are using this art and selling DVDs. Malaysia often sells dvds and boxsets for really cheap so I'm sure this isn't the only one. www.ebay.com/itm/Hayao-Miyazak… I'm not sure if this was consented by you but I thought Id let you know!
Just saw the movie today and wow, you nailed this perfectly! Amazing, beautiful, talented work!
so awrsome
Hey I just noticed you won. I'm not surprised either, this piece is awesome...congratulations Vicky!

Amazing representation, you really deserve it!
Amazing representation, you really deserve it!

Congratulations for being one of the winners!
Congrats! I literally jumped for joy when i saw that you won! You did a great job!
Huge congratulations on this entry - I am loving the contrast between technical and what is likely to a more expressionistic, painterly style for the female. I don't know much about this film yet (yet to see it) but I can ascertain lots about it through this. Leaving more questions than answers, I'm pumped with enigma. What a great tribute Miyazaki's last direct work and gorgeous entry aesthetically too.
Very nice and well deserved!
wow this is amazing!congratz!
Amazing job!!!!!!!!!
You deserved it
Amazing expressions; it's no wonder you won! XD
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! This piece is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
Congratulations!! You did a lovely work!
Beautiful work! I can't believe you bang this out in so little time, it's so well done. Congratulations!!!
Sooo well done, a wonderful tribute, congrats!
Congrats just saw the movie this is a great tribute ^ ^

Congratulations!!!! Really excellent work
very well done! i cant wait to see this movie!

Catch Eve on "RapFix Live" on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on RapFix.MTV.com, and be sure to join the Twitter conversation using the hashtag #RapFixLive. Send your questions for the artists @MTVRapFix!
It was 1999 when fans were first introduced to E-V-E with her multiple platinum debut Let There Be Eve… Ruff Ryders' First Lady. Since then, she has dropped two more solo shots and taken on Hollywood with roles in films like "Barbershop" and the 2004 Sundance breakout "The Woodsman" as well as star in her television sitcom which ran from 2003 to 2006. Through it all, however, Eve is most known for her inclusion in the storied Ruff Ryder collective which at one time boasted the talents of DMX, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss and Drag-On.

Let me preface by saying that I really do love my job. I like my boss, too. I just wonder about some of the things that go on in this company...
The company I work for sells computer systems to small retailers. The software is an inventory management/point-of-sale package. We're a small company (7 people) and I'm THE technical guy in the D/FW metro area. I work from home, have about half my rent and utilities written off my taxes and get paid to drive just about anywhere I go. It's a good gig, and I make good money doing what I do. It's a niche market, and there's not a lot of people that can do what I do or have the level of experience with the product we sell.
So here it is, Friday night. I'm on call this weekend, as my number came up this weekend. That's no big deal, as I do weekend duty about once a month. Right now, retailers are all doing physical inventory, so they can report to the tax man. If you've ever worked retail at this time of year, you know what a pain in the *** Physical Inventory is. It's never fun.
A client of ours is on an older version of the software. They bought their store from the previous owner, including the system we sold them however many years ago, before I started with this company. It works, but it's no longer supported and certainly isn't the ideal. They, like many other retailers are doing their physical inventory this weekend.
They received some portable terminals from us. These aren't anything special. THey're just scanners on a dumb terminal to scan barcodes and enter quantities. They really are overpriced for what they do, but they work. We also rent them, and this client opted to rent three of them to do their physical inventory. I can't say I blame them, considering how much they cost for the functionality they provide.
Doing physical inventory on a Friday night with staff staying late and making time-and-a-half.
That in and of itself isn't all that unusual. It's a lot easier to count all your merchandise if you don't have customers doing wacky **** like buying your products. But that's just me.
Here's where the problems started. I got on the phone with the client shortly after 7pm tonight. They need some help with their P.I. I'm expecting this, although I don't really like taking calls this late. But a client needing some assistance is really expected. Our clients aren't geeks like you & I. Hell, many of them have difficulty figuring out how to left-click and right-click.
so I call the client to find out some really interesting information:
1) They never got trained in how to properly use the software to do a physical inventory.
2) They rented these units and were given no instruction in how to use them.
3) The units aren't picking up the barcodes they printed correctly. They're picking up some number vastly different than what the barcode represents.
This is where the anti-boss rant starts. I'm ****ed. I've been jacking with this client for a couple hours now. They've had to start all over from scratch, as the counts they've scanned into their three rental terminals can't be trusted. I'm having to train them on the fly as they're doing the physical inventory, which is not the ideal time to be doing training. The client as wasted a good amount of time doing what they believed to be the correct thing to do (and in all reality, it WAS the right thing to do) and they've got to start over because it's likely going to result in a screwed up inventory for them.
That's what I UNCOVERED in working with them. The original nature of the call was because they didn't know how to even use the equipment we rented them. We basically shipped them three units for rent at $100 per. No documentation. No training. No nothing, other than a return address. Now I'm having to train a client while they're in the middle of doing what they need training on. Am I the only one who thinks this is ****ty business practice?
It is, as they say, a cluster****. The client doesn't appear to be ****ed as far as I can tell, but I think they have every right to be. I'd be wholly surprised if they are just hiding it from me. And i think they've got every reason to tell us, as a company to **** off and they'll get their support from someone who gives a damn. It certainly doesn't appear that we gave a damn when we rented them this equipment.
My boss is the one who handles all the equipment rentals, so that's who this rant is aimed at. It just amazes me that there was no foresight to ask the client if they might like to learn how to use the equipment they're about to rent from us. Hell, if nothing else that generates training revenue for us! So not only are we making the client feel like we care about their needs, but we also make money in the process! What could be better?
I don't understand, and maybe I'm not supposed to.
Fortunately, my girlfriend bought a pizza and some beer for me. I'm going to slowly wither away the hours before this client calls me back, because I'm reasonably certain they'll need to. I'm going to ***** and moan under my breath while I imbue the beer until I get tired of *****ing and moaning. I'm sure the client is doing the same thing, albeit without the beer. I guess I'm just lucky in that regard.
That is a good one... Best of luck.

Dorial Green-Beckham joins Sooners
Dorial Green-Beckham joins Sooners
Updated: July 3, 2014, 4:26 PM ET
By Brandon Chatmon | ESPN.com
Receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who was dismissed by Missouri in April after several off-the-field incidents, was added to Oklahoma's roster after a visit with the Sooners.
One of college football's most explosive receivers, Green-Beckham had a breakout season for the Tigers in 2013 with 59 receptions for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore. He was one of the nation's top recruits in the Class of 2012, ranking No. 3 on the ESPN150.
"We are pleased to welcome Dorial to the University of Oklahoma, where he is excited to continue his education and resume his playing career," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "Dorial understands the privilege and responsibilities of representing the Oklahoma football program. He is a talented young man who is eager to get to work with the rest of our team in the classroom and on the field."
A source said Green-Beckham signed with the Sooners on Wednesday and was essentially going through an orientation process on Thursday in preparation for Oklahoma's July summer school session which begins next week.
Green-Beckham is exploring if there is any way he can get a waiver from the NCAA to play this season, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad.
Oklahoma's waiver to the NCAA on behalf of Green-Beckham will be based on an NCAA "run-off" rule. Using this rule, former LSU point guard Anthony Hickey became immediately eligible to play at Oklahoma State after being dismissed by the Tigers.
Green-Beckham's admission to Oklahoma came with specific stipulations including continued rehabilitation and drug testing, according to a source. Green-Beckham will be subject to a "zero tolerance" policy which includes any failed drug test.
Oklahoma believes it has the resources to help Green-Beckham. There was "due diligence" communication between Oklahoma and Missouri coaching staffs before Oklahoma -- including the athletic director and president's office -- approved the transfer.
The 6-foot-6 Green-Beckham was kicked out of Missouri's program after an initial suspension. His troubles included being investigated for allegedly pushing an 18-year-old Missouri student down at least four stairs. No charges were filed and the case was closed after the student and a roommate declined to press charges.
Green-Beckham also had two marijuana-related arrests during his time at Missouri.
"I appreciate this opportunity from Coach Stoops and the University of Oklahoma," Green-Beckham said in the statement issued by the university. "There are people here who will help me build a strong foundation. I've disappointed myself and others in the past. I know that I have a lot of work to do and I'm ready to get started."
The Sooners have been searching for impact players at the receiver position. Sterling Shepard was the lone proven receiver on the roster. OU was one of the finalists for Green-Beckham out of high school, as he made several visits to Norman, Oklahoma, before the 225-pound receiver eventually picked Missouri.

Re: Dorial Green-Beckham joins Sooners
DGB better keep his nose clean around Stoops. If he does, I predict he will be a monster, and OU will be set for a national championship run.

Re: Dorial Green-Beckham joins Sooners
DGB was an enigma at 'Zou. Some games he was dominant (Indiana, Kentucky, A&M, Auburn) but then others (Vandy, SC, Tennessee, Ole Miss) he completely disappeared.
So where's a good place around Norman to score weed?

Million dollar talent on a five cent head. If he puts it together and figures it out after getting kicked off Zou then great. But we've seen too many people who can't kick the herb and just keep getting in trouble.

Re: Dorial Green-Beckham joins Sooners
1. I can't imagine how he's going to get a waiver to play this year at OU. With the police reports filed against him and the conditions Oklahoma placed on him, it's obvious Mizzou didn't dump him for no reason.
2. A WR needs time to develop with a QB, does he have time to do so this year if he is granted a waiver?
3. I can't imagine he's still in Oklahoma after this season. Everyone in Missouri assumed 2014 was his final year before going to the NFL, not seeing how that changes.

Yummy cold weather comfort food, and a great use for leftover ham. Easy and quick to put together, and leftovers freeze well. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Delicious! Loved making something new with ingredients I had on hand. DH loved it and asked for seconds! Thanks so much.
this was very good although I did do a few amount adjustments, we like extreme spice, I omitted the cayenne and I added in about 1 tablespoon crushed chili flakes with the onion, peppers and garlic and also added in one fresh jalapeno pepper, I increased the fresh garlic to 3 tablespoons and increased the ham amount, thanks for sharing this lazyme, this will be enjoyed for Super Bowl Sunday!

Epson announces WorkForce Pro printers for small business
On Tuesday, Epson America unveiled its new WorkForce Pro lineup of printers, including the all-in-one WorkForce Pro WP-4540 and WorkForce Pro WP-4530, as well as the WorkForce Pro WP-4020 inkjet printer. The printers are targeted at small businesses, providing users with faster print speeds and up to 50-percent cost savings compared to color laser printers.
All three WorkForce Pro printers boast 16-ppm black and 11-ppm color print speeds for single-sided sheets, and 9.2-ppm black and 7.1-ppm color for two-sided sheets. The WP-4540 and WP-4530 all-in-one models also include new, extra large capacity ink cartridges, built-in document feeders, scan-to-PDF capability, built-in Wi-Fi, and more.
For those who hate reloading paper into printers, the WorkForce Pro 4540 will keep that at a minimum with its 580-sheet capacity. The WorkForce Pro 4530 has a lower capacity, at 330 sheets, but it offers a touch panel and LCD screen for access all printer functions. The WorkForce Pro 4020, the lowest-priced of the lineup, also offers a 330-sheet capacity.
Each of Epson's WorkForce Pro products comes equipped with Epson Connect, the company's new cloud and mobile services technology. With Epson Connect, users can print an email or attachment by sending it from their smartphone to an enabled Epson printer. Users can also take advantage of the company's Epson iPrint smartphone app to wirelessly print documents, photos, PDFs, and web pages from the in-app browser to a Wi-Fi-enabled printer.
The WorkForce Pro WP-4540 costs $400, the WorkForce Pro WP-4530 runs for $300, and the WorkForce Pro WP-4520 is a mere $180. The printers will be available in September through major retailers and through the Epson Store.

Article: Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia is Associated with Higher Fluid Intake in Very Low-Birth-Weight Infants: A Retrospective Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between fluid intake in the first 4 days of life and the subsequent severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI). Study design: A retrospective chart review of 75 infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks and a birth weight of < 1,500 g was performed. Demographic, clinical data, associated maternal risk factors, and amount of fluid received in the first 4 days of life were analyzed. Results: Severe BPD was associated with a lower gestational age (27.04 ± 2.073 wks vs. 28.70 ± 1.706 wks, p=0.001), lower birth weight (981.44 ± 244.54 vs. 1,199.63 ± 165.39 g, p < 0.001), use of surfactant (91.7 vs. 63%, p=0.002), patent ductus arteriousus (PDA) (70.8 vs. 37%, p=0.004), pulmonary hemorrhage (14.6 vs. 0%, p=0.045), and more fluids received from the 2nd to 4th days of life (346.44 ± 42.38 mL/kg vs. 323.91 ± 27.62 mL/kg, p=0.007). A cut off point of 345 mL/kg of fluids from the 2nd to 4th days of life was selected using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and remained a significant risk factor even after multiple logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that VLBWI who received higher fluid intake from the 2nd to 4th days of life are at an increased risk of developing severe BPD.
Article: Using WINROP as an Adjuvant Screening Tool for Retinopathy of Prematurity in Southern Taiwan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: To study the efficacy of the WINROP (https://winrop.com) algorithm in Taiwan, a middle income, moderately developed country in Asia. Study design: We enrolled all preterm infants born with a gestational age less than 32(+0) weeks from September 2008 to August 2010. The results of serial retinopathy of prematurity examinations according to the screening guidelines in our hospital were recorded. Weekly body weight was also recorded for the WINROP algorithm. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated. Results: Overall, 148 infants were included. Seventeen infants (11.5%) received treatment for retinopathy of prematurity. But, six infants (35.3%) were missed when severe retinopathy of prematurity was predicted with WINROP algorithm. The sensitivity is only 64.7%. However, when focusing on the preterm infants with a birth weight < 1,000 g or gestational age < 28 weeks, it could predict the need for treatment up to 13 weeks in advance. Conclusion: The WINROP algorithm is a very effective noninvasive screening tool for retinopathy of prematurity, especially in preterm infants with a birth weight < 1,000 g or a gestational age < 28 weeks. However, the overall sensitivity in this report from Taiwan was not as high as that reported in highly developed countries.
Article: Nasogastric Tube Placement and Esophageal Perforation in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Perforation of the esophagus associated with placement of nasogastric tubes is not uncommon in preterm infants. Herein we report three cases of iatrogenic esophageal perforation associated with nasogastric tube placement. With nonsurgical management of parenteral nutrition and broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy, all three neonates survived without sequelae. Effective strategies to prevent such complications are discussed.
Article: High Asparatate Aminotransferase Level Predicts Poor Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Infants with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim of our study is to clarify the perinatal predictive factors of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) with neurodevelopmental delay (ND) in infants. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, data were collected from the infants born between 1990 and 2008. They all had primary diagnosis of MAS. Multivariable analyzed perinatal predictive factors of MAS with ND. The developmental status of these infants was followed at least 2 years with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Results: A total of 114 surviving babies met the criteria of MAS. Six babies were defined as ND group. Lower 5-minute Apgar score and diastolic blood pressure were significantly related to the ND group. Elevated asparatate aminotransferase (AST), nucleated red blood cells, and white blood cells at the time of admission were significantly high in ND group. Furthermore, AST had area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.879, (95% confidence interval: 0.801, 0.934), p < 0.0001. At 96 mg/dL, it had 83.33% sensitivity, 80.81% specificity, and negative predictive value of 98.8. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed AST was the only significant predictive factor for MAS with ND. Conclusion: Early intervention should be recommended in infants having MAS with high AST level at birth for improving their neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Article: Expressed breast milk for procedural pain in preterm neonates: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine whether expressed breast milk (milk) reduces procedural pain associated with heel lancing in preterm neonates. In this placebo-controlled trial, preterm neonates received 5 mL of distilled water as placebo (water, n = 44), 25% glucose water (glucose, n = 39) or milk (n = 40). Heel lancing was performed 2 min later. The primary outcome was the duration of first cry after lancing. Participants had similar baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. There was a significant difference in the median duration of first cry among the groups: water = 70.5 sec [interquartile range (IQR) = 5.5–104.5]; glucose = 2.0 sec (IQR = 0.0–45.0); milk = 29.5 sec (IQR = 0.0–65.0). Specifically, the duration of first cry was significantly shorter in the glucose group compared with the water group (Bonferroni adjustment, p = 0.011). Pain scores were significantly lower in the glucose and milk groups compared with the water group 1, 2 and 3 min after heel lancing (p < 0.05). Although milk did not significantly reduce crying time, our finding that pain scores were significantly lower in the milk group suggests that milk may reduce pain associated with heel lancing in preterm neonates.
Article: Incidence and Result of Treatment-Demanding Retinopathy of Prematurity Using Revised US Screening Guidelines[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: To study the incidence of treated retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using the revised U.S. screening guidelines, the rate of missed treatment, and unfavorable anatomic outcomes over a period of 2 years. Study design: We reviewed the admission records of premature patients treated at our hospital from September 2008 to August 2010. Any baby born with a gestational age (GA) of less than 30 weeks or a birth body weight (BW) of less than 2000 g was included in this study. The ROP screening followed the revised U.S. screening guidelines as presented in 2006. The indications of treatment for ROP were threshold disease as defined by the Multicenter Trial of Cryotherapy for Retinopathy of Prematurity study and type 1 prethreshold ROP as defined by the Early Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity Randomized Trial study. Results: There were 385 infants who were examined for ROP screening during this period. Nineteen babies (35 eyes) fit the treatment criteria and received treatment. The incidence of treatment-demand ROP was 4.9% (19/385). Four babies had a birth BW >1500 g (4/19; 21%). Seventeen babies received treatment during their first admission and two babies received treatment during outpatient follow-up. No baby missed timely treatment. Three eyes progressed to stage 4/5 after receiving intravitreal bevacizumab treatment. The success rate after primary bevacizumab was 91% (30/33 eyes). Conclusion: The incidence of treatment-demanding ROP using revised U.S. screening criteria was 4.9%. Teamwork and cooperation are very important to ensure that the highest-quality care possible is provided to patients in a timely manner.

ABSTRACT: Gastroschisis (GS) is defined as a full-thickness paraumbilical abdominal wall defect associated with evisceration of fetal abdominal organ. Although the concomitant nongastrointestinal anomalies and aneuploidy are rarely presented, fetal growth restriction is common. The aim of this study is to compare the primary and secondary outcomes of GS between infants small for gestational age (SGA) and those appropriate for gestational age as well as term and late preterm infants. Chart records of neonates born with gestational age at or more than 34 weeks were reviewed. All babies received repair procedure immediately after birth. SGA was defined as birth weight for gestational age below the 10th percentile. The primary outcomes were the length of hospital stay, duration of total parental nutrition used, and the surgical complications. The secondary outcome was the percentile of body weight at 6 months old. There were 21 babies diagnosed with GS from January 1990 to January 2010 at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Four (19%) babies expired soon after operation. Nine (53%) of the 17 surviving babies had SGA. Length of hospital stay, surgical complications, and the percentile of body weight at 6 months old were significantly poorer for the SGA compared with appropriate for gestational age group (p = 0.005, 0.050, and 0.035). Furthermore, preterm neonates in SGA group had lower Apgar scores at 1 minute and 5 minutes than did term neonates (p = 0.045 and 0.031). SGA commonly occurred in GS cases and it was associated with longer hospital stay, more operative complications, and less body weight gain. Our conclusion may provide informative data to parents of GS fetuses during prenatal consultation, and reminds us that long-term follow-up of these cases could be necessary.
Article: Clinical Manifestations of Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage in Term Neonates: 18 Years of Experience in a Medical Center[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is an uncommon but important cause of morbidity and mortality in term neonates. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and developmental outcomes of symptomatic ICH in term neonates. A retrospective chart review was conducted of all term neonates (less than 1 month old) diagnosed with ICH and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Kaohsiung Chang Gung Hospital from December 1991 to December 2008. Demographic characteristics, mode of delivery, laboratory data, clinical presentation, and developmental status were recorded. Data for 24 term neonates (17 boys and 7 girls) with a diagnosis of ICH were collected for analysis. The clinical manifestations of ICH included anemia (13/24, 54%), seizure (11/24, 46%), cyanosis (7/24, 29%), tachypnea (5/24, 21%), fever (1/24, 4%), hypothermia (1/24, 4%), and poor feeding (1/24, 4%). Age at symptom onset ranged from 2 hours to 11 days following birth. The most common type of ICH was subdural hemorrhage. All ICHs resolved, except in one infant, who died from hypoxicischemic encephalopathy at 25 days. Ten children with symptomatic ICH were reported to have normal development, while the remainder (13/23, 57%) showed developmental delays or disabilities. Unexplained anemia, seizure, and cyanosis were the major presenting signs in infants with symptomatic ICH. A diagnosis of ICH should be considered in term neonates who present with one or more of these signs. Although the mortality in term infants with symptomatic ICH was low, more than half.

ABSTRACT: Despite advances in therapeutic modalities, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) still accounts for significant neonatal mortality. This study aimed to describe the demographic features, clinical experiences of postnatal care, and differences between non-survivors and survivors with CDH. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of neonates with CDH admitted to Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital over a 21-year period. Neonates with diaphragmatic eventration and those transferred after surgery were excluded. A total of 24 live-born neonates fulfilled the study criteria; 13 (54%) were boys and 11 (46%) were girls. Eight (33%) patients were prenatally diagnosed. The mean gestational age was 38.8 +/- 1.8 weeks (range, 35-41 weeks). Twenty-three (96%) had Bochdalek hernia [19 (83%) left-sided, 4 (17%) right-sided], and one (4%) had right-sided Morgagni hernia. Additional major congenital anomalies were identified in five patients (21%). The overall mortality was 21% (5/24); all deaths occurred before surgery. Statistically significant differences between survivors and non-survivors were found for right-sided CDH, low 1-minute and 5-minute Apgar scores, and low pH of the first arterial blood gas. Deaths were attributed to severe persistent pulmonary hypertension, unresponsiveness to aggressive resuscitation at birth, and major associated malformations. Seventy-nine percent of our CDH patients survived to hospital discharge. Resuscitation by a skilled neonatology team to prevent low Apgar scores and low pH, careful evaluation of other anomalies, and overcoming pulmonary hypertension might improve the survival rate. Recognizing unfavorable factors in CDH may help clinicians manage the critical care of these babies.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to compare the neonatal outcome of very low-birthweight (VLBW) preterm infants with regard to inborn and outborn status in a medical center of Southern Taiwan, where short-distance neonatal transport is the rule and maternal transport was not well established. This retrospective study included outborn VLBW preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Kaohsiung after neonatal transport during the period from 1999 through 2003. An equal number of inborn preterm infants matched for gender and birthweight were included as controls. Infants with lethal congenital anomalies or who died in the delivery room were excluded. Data were collected from reviewing medical charts. A total of 34 inborn VLBW infants and 34 outborn VLBW infants with neonatal transport were included. Chronic lung disease (CLD) was significantly more frequent in the outborn group according to McNemar test (P = 0.0124) and logistic regression. Logistic regression also showed that outborn status (P = 0.0173) and birthweight (P = 0.0024) were the two most important risk factors for development of CLD. Well-trained short distance neonatal transport is useful and valuable for VLBW infants with gestation age of 27-34 weeks in Southern Taiwan. The respiratory outcome, however, was poor in the outborn group in terms of incidence of CLD. To improve the respiratory outcome, further modification of respiratory care during transportation or antenatal maternal transport is crucial.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study was designed to determine the trend of neonatal group B streptococcal (GBS) infection during the past 7 years at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital of Kaohsiung, as well as to assess the risk factors, clinical features and patient outcomes. Medical records of infants with neonatal GBS infection identified by positive results of cultures of sterile body fluid in our hospital from January 1996 through December 2002 were reviewed for demographic and clinical data. There were 33 infants with neonatal GBS infections during the past 7 years in our hospital. The number of patients increased from 1996 to 2001. Sixteen infants had early onset infections and 17 infants had late onset infections. Of the nine patients with maternal risk factors in the early onset group, prolonged rupture of membranes (7, 44%) was most frequently encountered. Distressed respiratory sign (8, 50%) was the most common clinical presentation in early onset group, while fever >38 degrees C (17, 100%) was the most common presentation in late-onset group. The mortality rates were 13% and 6% in early and late onset groups, respectively. Gestational age (p = 0.05) and pneumonia (p = 0.015) were two most important factors influencing the mortality rate. The number of GBS-infected infants seemed to have increased during the past 7 years in our hospital. Because the incidence of neonatal GBS infection and maternal colonization in Taiwan has not been collected, we could not determine the necessity of intrapartum chemoprophylaxis. Setting a comprehensive surveillance in Taiwan should be considered.
Article: Transient Hypothyroxinemia of Prematurity is Associated with Abnormal Cranial Ultrasound and Illness Severity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Transient hypothyroxinemia without elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels is common in prematurity, especially in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. The transient hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (THOP) has been seen as a "benign" condition not requiring medical treatment. However, some recent large observational studies have revealed a relationship between THOP and abnormal neurodevelopment. Furthermore, one study showed THOP had twice the risk of brain echolucency, which was the best predictable neurodevelopmental dysfunction, than the premature infants with normal or higher thyroxine levels. The relationships among THOP, illness severity, and neurodevelopmental dysfunction remain unclear. We propose a hypothesis that THOP is associated with abnormal ultrasound and illness severity. We studied 54 infants who were admitted more than 14 days at our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with a birth weight <2000 g from March 1999 to March 2000. The infants received serum thyroxine (T4), free-T4, and TSH measurement during the first weeks of life. Most of them had serum thyroxine levels measured at approximately 2 weeks of age. The infants enrolled in the study were examined by at least 1 of 3 cranial ultrasounds during the first weeks of life, illness severity evaluation according to the neonatal therapeutic intervention scoring system (NTISS) score, as well as NICU hospital stay period. Infant were classified as THOP by T4 value <5.3 microg/dL (68 nmol/L), which is 2.6 SD below the mean for term infants in Massachusetts, without elevated TSH value (<20 microIU/mL). After adjusting for some confounding factors, such as gestational age, birth weight, duration of mechanical ventilation, infants with THOP were associated with abnormal cranial ultrasound, illness severity, and lower 1-minute Apgar score. In our studies, THOP was related with brain ultrasound anomaly, neonatal illness, and lower Apgar score at 1 minute. Does early thyroxine intervention improve the prognosis and neurodevelopmental dysfunction? This question requires further investigation.

I love my Mason Pearson brush, and although pricey, it's a worthwhile investment for something you will use at least once a day for years. I have fine, shoulder length hair, and this brushes my hair without leaving it static & flyaway. It also leaves it soft & smooth. It comes with its own cleaning tool and it's in great retro packaging. I don't think �30 or so is too bad for a daily use item, especially given that it reduces splitting, massages the scalp, polishes the hair and is well made.

I love this brush, and I have never loved a brush in my life. I color my hair (it's been every color on the planet), and, as it's long, fine and straight, it does tend to get a little dry and can frizz a little sometimes. But, all I have to do is brush my hair with this brush and it is INSTANTLY smooth, silky and shiny.
Despite the price (and I am a grad student so money means a lot to me!) I would absolutely buy this again.

I was hestitant to buy this product because of the price, but when I found a great bargain on ebay (brand new in box), I just could not resist. I have trouble keeping up with hair brushes, and always seemed to buy a new one each month so I was terrified I would lose this one. I shouldn't have worried though, because I guard this baby with my life! If it ever did get lost I would probably pay the regular retail price to replace it though. Not only has it been wonderful for my hair, but my husband love to use it because he says its like a head massage. My daughter is tender headed and will literally cry and try to run if I use anything BUT this brush on her hair. She calls it "the nice brush". I can never go back to other brushes now, they feel like torture on my head. This is definitely my HG brush!

Received as gift from my DH as I had longed for one in Harrod's last summer. Worth every penny. My shoulder length hair shines, the frizzies have calmed themselves, this is an amazing brush. I have the boar's head bristles for reference. This brush will last a lifetime, don't hesitate because of the price. Now I just need a purse size...

I've had my MP handy boar bristle brush for about 2.5 years now and still LOVE it! It gives the best scalp massage, and makes my hair shiny. My stylist recommended adding a few drops of oil to your hair, and brushing it through for a conditioning treatment, I use Aveda Beautifying oil, and this has been incredible for my hair. Upon her recommendation for detangling, I've recently purchased the nylon pocket brush, (couldn't see any difference between that and the detangler) and it's the best for detangling my fine, snarly hair.

The Mason Pearson range of hair brushes was a mission to find in the UK! I finally found them on the ground floor of Selfridges down Oxford Street. I got the pocket sized one for �23. It's a pretty good hair brush, but not nothing really special. Then again saying that I would probably buy this brush again if I lost the one I have. I'm one of those people that brushes their hair quite a lot throughout the day and it feels nice and soft on your scalp no matter how often you brush.

Very good brush for detangling hair and massaging the scalp. It is also very expensive. I now have very long hair and do not use it much, I am scared of brushing off the cuticle. It also gets dirty very easily and is very delicated because of the rubber base. I would only recommend it for women with shoulder length, straight hair.

I have the pocket size (B4) although it's not that handy in your bag as it damages everything in it (cell phone f.i.). The brush is great for once a day, but not more. As one of the reviewers already said, your hair gets very static, which I find quite annoying. Good brush for once in a while.
