HONG KONG: Cheung Kong Holdings has launched a TV commercial developed by Market Catalyst to promote a new development, Pacifica Phase II.
The commercial, shot in Paris, presents images of a 'European lifestyle' in a bid to appeal to its middle-class target market.
According to Market Catalyst chief operation officer Davie Mok, Pacifica Phase II provides facilities with European design; thus, the advertising strategy and execution was based on this factor.
"The property market is recovering and prices are rising. We wanted an 'aspirational' image, with a totally fresh look to reflect the quality and price justification for Pacifica Phase II," said Mok.
The TV spot is supported by a pre-launch teaser TVC, a series of print ads, outdoor ads and radio ads.

"More snow please." Apparently, that plea worked. There's a nice new layer of the white fluffy slippery stuff up in the high country. We really need it, and more. "There's too much snow!" is a term I don't understand.
The resorts, skiers, and boarders are thrilled with the new snow. Snow, like many things, is best when it is fresh but not too deep.
When the powder is up past your knees and you don't have fat boy skis, skiing becomes a labor of love — one which puts your stamina and the ability of your thighs to function to a severe test.
Fat boy skis, an old term, are simply wider than normal and tend to float over the snow rather than sink deeply into it.
Still, any day on the snow is good, even if you wisely take a seat in the lodge at noon, because you have no choice, according to the howling of your legs.
If you've been skiing since the start of the season, your ski legs are probably in pretty good shape and if you're a back country telemark or randonee skier, you're probably in very good shape.
It's important to understand what your limits are when you're on skis or a board. Every time you ski or board, you build some stamina and strength, and hopefully, more skills.
Keeping a good level of fitness is important. Cycling, walking, running, swimming, are all good, and all use different muscles. Because you are able to walk for hours doesn't necessarily transfer to stamina on the slopes.
The constant up and down motion you go through while carving turns down the hill puts the most stress on your thighs. Anyone who skis or boards knows full well what the term "My thighs feel like they are on fire!" means.
The reason you pay attention to the level of fatigue in your legs is this: Control. No one wants to be anywhere near an out of control skier or boarder out on the slopes. It makes no difference if you are on the bunny hill or a double black diamond peppered with moguls. Out of control skiers are just plain dangerous to everyone.
If you are over tired, stop, go to the lodge and take a seat. Stay off the slopes until you are rested. Everyone will appreciate it, even if they don't audibly thank you while you schuss past them, instead of into them.
Pay attention, ski safely, ski often. Get outside!

reply to post by CaticusMaximus
As I see it, Yahweh, the god of the bible, is in fact none other than the Great Deceiver himself, Satan. A far cry from the loving and compassionate god that his deceived followers claim he is, the bible pretty much says he is an ego-maniacal god of war and tyranny who if not obeyed, claims he will send you into eternal torture. He rules via fear and intimidation as tyrants do. He requires death for the smallest of infractions, and even demands the murder of entire cities/nations for arbitrary reasons.

In terms of Levay, yes. In terms of Spiritual Satanism, it is completely serious. When it comes to the robes, the palace and all that, ask yourself, Jesus said "blessed be the poor, woe unto the rich"... why does the Pope live in a palace with multiple golden crowns that have been forged together calling for an end to world hunger? The real joke is the Vatican. Christianity has it's merits, Catholicism has been a proven joke since the Vatican's inception.
Yet he has managed to garner billions of followers on this world who give him tribute in the form of worship, prayer and sacrifice, ie: energy, and they all believe he is a merciful and loving god, when the facts say otherwise.

It's not about working, Sunday is the day Satan takes has his day and all who praise on that day give homage regardless of who they praise because it's his day.

I'm not sure just how much the Vatican is actually worth, but last I checked... let's just say, it's a large sum. If the Pope really cared about feeding the poor, he wouldn't be living in a palace or his own city. He'd be living in some wooden shack having sold everything he owns. The Pope's very existence is a contradiction of itself.
I agree completely with your take on the Romans, how they lived, and their last attempt to make themselves immortal by, in my opinion, embracing Christianity, after denouncing it for so long, to the point of corrupting it... and here is the result.edit on 21-1-2013 by Heisenberg59 because: (no reason given)

San Francisco in the 60's was the center of the musical universe. It wasn't a music scene, but as the Magic Mushrooms sang "It's a Happening".It was not one sound but a diverse collection of musicians. Many of the bands are well known, but the real gems of this collection are the relative unknown's such as Fifty Foot Hose, The Oxford Circle, Blackburn & Snow, and The Tiki's, but everything on this cd set is good. It comes with an informative book about the S F Scene and there are great pictures of the bands. Buy it for it is well worth the money.
Although the mainstream listener will not enjoy this set, those who are inclined to the musicality of the San Fransisco sound will find it a a true gem. Many, well most of the cuts lack the polish of the released studio versions the importance of this raw cuts cannot be ignored. That said I recommend it to anyone looking for different versions of the top 40 releases of this American music. I am glad I purchased it and would do so again in a heartbeat. Peace and love to you all!
Terrific package! Good price, wonderfully obscure tunes mixed with those more familiar, great factoids (had you heard of the Chord Lords?) and photos, and the sound is beyond excellent. GET THIS.

September 27, 2012 Here is a test of NPR's political bias and your own convictions about what it might be. Headlines set the tone for NPR.org and are a litmus test for all the coverage. So let's look at the last three days of campaign headlines. You decide.
July 14, 2009 The Ombudsman's office gets deluged with emails, comments, phone calls, and the perception here — among a staffer, an intern and me — is that the majority of them are critical of NPR for being too "mainstream" or for being too conservative. But...

Loved it. A great way to see Paris like a Parisian. Beautiful. The back streets, the history. The guide, Arthur, was very knowledgeable and nice. Answered all questions and didn't worry about the time as much. Really made us enjoy our tour.
Pétanque was really fun and the 'charcuterie' was really delicious. Arthur took pictures of us playing Pétanque. A must do tour. To go behind the scenes of Paris.
October 2015
Our guide Alix was charming and delightful. She was able to put everything we were seeing around us into the context of the history of Paris, so that we felt we were gaining a much greater understanding of the city. More fun though was the charcuterie tasting with wine! and the extremely competitive petanque. If only the federation rep had been on our team! A very enjoyable afternoon.

Alix led an informative and enjoyable walk around the Latin quarter and then after our refreshments taught our little group to paly petanque. The girls were victorious! We had a great afternoon.
August 2015
So glad I did this tour. Was great to meander through the backstreets and small lanes of Paris and discover things which I would never have found by myself. Our guide Alix was delightful. Despite there only being two of us in the group, she was still able make it interesting, informative and fun. Thoroughly enjoyed our charcuterie and wine tasting and our exciting game of petanque, which we played in a fantastic location! Would definitely recommend this tour.

This is a must see tour, our lovely guide Arthur, he was so good, knew his stuff, we thoroughly enjoyed his knowledge and I do not hesitate to recommend anyone to do this especially lucky if you get Arthur. He goes over time....
August 2015
Fabulous - our guide Arthur was fantastic. Took us to parts of Paris I had not seen on previous visits. Don't go to Paris without booking this tour! Thanks Arthur - his knowledge was endless.
July 2015
A great experience strolling through the streets of this historical district with our tour guide Alix, who was fun, engaging, informative and patient with our many questions. Got to see the Sorbonne, a beautiful city garden built by the Marie deMedici, Notre Dame, the old streets where leaders of the revolution lived, the hotel where Jim Morrison died, and sampled good French food and wine. An overall excellent tour experience with a well-trained guide.
July 2015
Our guide was fantastic! Very engaging and more than willing to show us some extras such as the ancient city walls in a car park and with a great command of English. He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand and converse with. The charcuterie we experienced was amazing! With just 6 people our game of boules was so much fun. I would highly recommend this tour with this guide from Urban Adventures.
June 2015
This was a great experience. Arthur our guide was friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. As we walked at an easy pace around these areas we discussed past and current issues relating to Paris. We quickly felt like a group of friends gaining insights that regular tourist miss out on. We finished at a cafe having a drink with charcuterie. Thanks Arthur for a great afternoon and we highly recommend it to others.

Rick Perry was one of the American GOP presidential contenders. In an interview with Bret Baier of Fox News he exposed the level of his ignorance of world affairs that is unacceptable in the league he plays in.
Is it a coincidence that international affairs, especially that of the Middle East, are much more complex than what the American Republicans (especially the neo-cons) believe they are?
Following a loaded question that Baier delivered holding the incumbent Turkish government of Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan responsible for "… the increase in the murder rate of women by 1,400 percent, decline of press freedom to the level of Russia, close relations with Hamas, and Turkey's military threat leveled at both Israel and Cyprus." Mr. Baier went on to ask whether an "Islamist-oriented party" like the AKP [Justice and Development Party] "... still belongs in NATO?" Perry responded: "Well, obviously when you have a country that is being ruled by what many would perceive to be Islamic terrorists. . ." We know the dictum that "apprentice barbers learn shaving on the face of others," but Mr. Perry's knowledge of world affairs seems to be far below than that of an apprentice barber.
No doubt Mr. Erdoğan's party came to power as part of an opposition political movement composed of conservative and religious peripheral masses (the majority) that has been kept subjugated by a statist-military Jacobin ruling elite that has stifled democracy and economic growth for decades. The new middle class supported by an assortment of urban Liberals that brought the AKP to power owed little to the state and the old ruling elite. As this coalition became entrenched in politics the nature of public policy and debate changed. A more diversified political and diplomatic agenda began to shape Turkey's public life.
Turkey mediated between Iran and the rest of the world. When it became obvious that Iran was dragging its feet Turkey consented to the stationing of an advanced radar system on its territory to track missiles from Iran. After failing to reconcile Israel and Syria, Turkey tried to protect Syria from the wrath of non-regional powers. But after realizing that the dictatorial nature of the Syrian administration does not allow any change in this country's internal and external politics, Turkey decided to invest in the future of Syria. In line with the trend ushered in by the Arab Spring she began to support (and host) the Syrian opposition. Turkey also took part in the joint NATO operations against Muammar Gaddafi's forces in Libya. Despite its conservative cultural background the AKP single-handedly amended Turkey's constitution to push back the bureaucratic tutelary system. These amendments expanded rights for women, ethnic minorities and working populations. Are these enough? Not at all. For Turkey is rapidly advancing. The rate of economic growth (that tripled in the past 10 years), social diversity, expanding civil society, urbanization (85 percent of the population living in cities) and effects of globalization rendered Turkey into a complex society with many demands to be met simultaneously. Its outward expansion allowed Turkey to be more influential in its near abroad. This has increased its versatility and allowed it to forge new alliances with countries that were out of question only a decade ago.
All of these changes have made Turkey a more volatile country for friends and foes. The US on and off became a rival or a close ally for Turks just as the opposite is true. These fluctuations sometimes please both sides or infuriate them in turns.
While the US government will face a more complex country to deal with in the case of Turkey so will it in other parts of the Middle East when the Spring turns into Summer and democracy comes to fruition. Relations with democratizing Muslim countries will be more stable and more predictable, but it will be much harder and more intricate because one-man administrations are over.
The West, especially the American political class, has to free them from the fear of Islam. As democracy and political diversity sets in together with increasing economic wealth, Islam will take its rightful place as a belief system rather than a political ideology. In fact, the politicization of Islam and its role in the making of a political opposition against a cruel and unpopular secular Jacobinism is coming to an end. Politics as a search for justice, democracy and the rule of law is rapidly becoming a secular activity. This process emancipates religion from the throngs of politics as a divisive, contentious competition for the management of daily life.
No doubt there will be a similar trend concerning "new and upcoming Middle Eastern democracies." They will all be influenced by Islamic movements that were the only opposition organizations at times when society was kept under leash by secular autocrats and Jacobin pro-American generals. Hence, we must all get ready to deal with such "Islamist-oriented" administrations in the first decade of Middle Eastern democracy.

3079 is a futuristic, open-world action first-person role playing game. You arrive on a planet experiencing constant war. It is your duty to find out why the warring factions cannot find peace on their own & hopefully restore it yourself. All areas, buildings, items, quests and characters are randomly generated. You will find unique lands & challenges. I hope you enjoy it! "Just want to say again that this is a great game! For those of you who feel like its a minecraft copy just beacuse of the cube textures used you really need to rethink what a game is about! The game play of 3079 is nothing like minecraft it is pretty unique as well as how the weapons all have diffrent stats and colors kind of reminds me of Borderlands. However it is still an original idea for a game and i still play it from time to time. You should at least try the demo and if you like it please buy it and support fruit! :D Still give it a 9/10 ! Best Regards, Adam" -- SeaNanners Sequel @ 3089game.wordpress.com
It's a pretty good game. I just don't think it explains things to well. And it can be a pain to get around and do some missions. Otherwise its fairly good.
The game looks good but in what i seen in youtube it has some minor problems...
Cool game with lots of potential. In time it can become a very fine action/build/tactics - game.
its kinda boring
Notice: I have not played too much of the game yet, think of this as a first impression...
First of all, I see some people trying to say it's a Minecraft clone/ripoff with guns... Well **** you, a game with blocks/voxels doesn't mean it's a Minecraft clone. There's a lot of block/voxel based games that was released before Minecraft, one example is Atmosphir, and what Minecraft is inspired by; Infiniminer. One reason I believe many think it is, is because of people like "The Yogscast" (no offense). They do a lot of Minecraft videos, and then there's this game called 3079 which claims to be a mix of Minecraft and Fallout, and it has blocks, and square'ish people.
Now, more to the game...
In my opinion, it's a great game, with great potential. I hope Phr00t does use a good amount of time on this game, though I don't blame him if he doesn't, since he might have a job beside this, and he may have other things to do in his spare time.
As it is now, I would play it multiple times, but there's a lack of content, so I'll find it a bit boring after a while, as it is now.
I also like the fact that you start with different weapons each time, and that your starting items have different "perks", the level system is also nice, but I do find it annoying that you must loot or trade to get a higher level item. Why? I seem to find too much Level one items, where-ever I go, from traders and loot, on another side, it makes it harder to get, and gives the feel of those items being more rare. What about buying a leveling component, which for example level two costs 500-1000 (it could also be cheap, depending on the engineering skill you could fail often at a low level), and higher levels would costs more, also, you could add more rare weapons, and a small chance to spawn with a eg. Level 3 item.
Other than that, it's a good game, and I'm running out of characters to write, so I'm sorry for not saying much positive.
Also, I'm lazy and didn't take the time to spellcheck and that... :)
Great time waster, Needs more content rather than just randomised stats on the same few weapons, same with enemies, ai, ai relations need work, A human walked into my Nade launcher, humans now hate me and I cant really complete anything.

I'm scared about giving birth too soon. I know with twins the usual is between 34-37 weeks. Most of the time do they have to stay in the hospital for a longer period of time? Is it possible not to have any complications? I just need some reassurance I guess.
Is it possible for babies not to have any complications?
Audrey Madelynn - 6/30/07 Eliana - Home w/ Jesus 8/26/08 My twins Elijah James & Esther Amelia - 7/8/09 @ 36w/2d via c/s all home in 48 hours!!!!
I had my boys at 35 weeks and they were just fine. They stayed in the NICU for 24 hours then roomed with me for the rest of our stay while I was recovering from c section. We all went home when the boys were 5 days old. The best thing you can do is rest when your body is telling you to no matter what.
Congrats on the twins!
Mom to Mr. L & Mr. T born @ 35wks (9/12/07)
my twins girls were born at 35 weeks abd were in the nicu two days and roomed in for two days. i was sposed to be induced election day but the girls decided to be born oct 24. i had my girls vagionally, but almost had to have a csection if the twins didnt flip.
Mama to FIVE�tater tots�Dallas "5-26-01". Rally"3-2-04" Alexis and Rebecca "10-24-08". Brooklyn Renee "11.27.10"�(The 31 5/7week turkey surprise )
I had my babies at 37 weeks and they were absolutely fine. No NICU time needed at all. :) I had them by scheduled CS.
I agree with PP, best thing you can do is rest when your body tells you to. My OB actually prescribed me two naps a day. My husband was at the appointment with me, and he made sure that I took them!! LOL
Married to the love of my life, Erik
FTM to Mand C11/04/08
I had my twins at home with a midwife at 37 weeks and they were absolutely perfect!! The only "complication" was that they both got jaudice a few days later. I have heard that jaundice is more common the earlier the baby is. I think it really helps to eat well and rest leading up to your due date--helps the babies be stronger once they are born. Congrats!
My boys were born at 38wks. They were very healthy and came home 2days after they were born. No NICU. No extra care. They stayed in the room with us. I was no where close to going into labor. But, but since my boys shared a placenta, it was time for them to come out. I had an induction, it failed, I had a c-sec. Everything was fine. The babies were very healthy. They are 13mos now and still doing great!
I had a good twin pregnancy. I was very healthy and no complications. The only complication was that my boys shared a placenta. I was monitored closely. I started NST at 29wks and went twice a week. But again, that was b/c of the shared placenta. I never had any pt labor. BP was fine. Sugar level great. I was huge and uncomfortable- that's it.
Congrats on your twins!
Momma to wild and crazy identical twins!- Calum and Liam- 1/24/08 and sweet baby girl Audrey 7/25/11
My boys were born at 36 weeks exactly. I delivered Joseph and Jackson came 14 minutes later. Joseph weighed 6-4 and Jackson 5-13. No NICU, no air, they roomed with me from the very beginning. And Joseph was born with Down syndrome and we needed no "extra/special" care. It is possible. Hang in there!!
My pregnancy was complication free. I am 41 years old and my twins are 3 months old. They were born via c/s at 38 weeks because my son was breech. They weighed 7 lbs and 6 lbs 4 oz. Never saw NICU and stayed in the room with us the entire 3 days we were there. I gained a total of 20 lbs and never had one contraction, no high blood pressure, no gestational diabetes, etc. My appts were SO boring. I was never put on ANY restriction. My high risk OB even suggested raking leaves when I was 35 weeks along to help move things along. (I told him I hire people to do that!! LOL)
I did stop working around 28 weeks but I still had my 2 yr old to chase after (waddle after). I just got really big and was really uncomfortable. My biggest problem was trying to find clothes that fit!!
A friend of mine had her twins 7 weeks before me and had them at 38 weeks 3 days vaginally. No NICU time either.
Tracey - mom to Livy 2/06 Alex & Emmy 12/08
I had my twins via scheduled induction at 37 weeks 1 day. They were both born vaginally, 32 minutes apart, and were perfect. They needed no NICU time and we were all released from the hospital to go home 36 hours later.
So yes, you can have a completely complication-free twin pregnancy and delivery.
~Andrea ~ Proud mom to my 17 year old son and 4 year old boy/girl twins
I carried my twins to 38 weeks 5 days. I never did go into labor, I went in for a sceduled c-section because one was breech.
We all went home 3 days later
I was induced at 38w2d b/c they showed NO signs of wanting to come out. A was vertex, B was breech and I had them vaginally, 7 mins. apart. They roomed in from the start, no NICU time, no major complications other than a mild BPI. We all went home 2 days PP. They are now 7.5 MO and doing great. Hang in there, it is possible!

March 12-18, 2012 is Fix a Leak Week! Did you know that common household leaks can waste, on average, more than 10,000 gallons of water per year, or enough to wash 10 months' worth of laundry?Viewer Tip: It's as easy as check-twist-replace to find and fix leaks at home:1. Check toilets for silent leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank. Wait 10 minutes before you flush; if color appears in the bowl, you have a leak.2. Twist and tighten pipe connections. To save even more water, twist in a WaterSense labeled faucet aerator or showerhead.3. Replace a fixture if you need to. Look for the WaterSense label when buying household plumbing products. They have been independently certified to save water and perform well.

Article: Current, new and future biological agents on the horizon for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Biological agents for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) have changed the way to treat IBD refractory to standard medications and allowed us to reach new therapeutic goals such as mucosal healing and deep remission. A better understanding of the components of the pathological processes that are a hallmark of IBD has led to the development of a new family of biological agents in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Biosimilars, which are copy versions of currently licensed biological agents, will be soon available. The biosimilar of infliximab is as effective and as safe as its originator in rheumatologic conditions, while a new anti-TNF agent, namely golimumab, has been recently approved for refractory ulcerative colitis. Beyond TNF blockers, anti-adhesion molecules appear to be a potent drug class for IBD. Vedolizumab was recently approved for both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Numerous other compounds are in the pipeline. Ustekinumab looks very promising for Crohn's disease. Smad7 antisense oligonucleotide might enrich our armamentarium if preliminary data are confirmed in upcoming clinical trials. Herein, we review the efficacy and safety of new and emerging biological agents that are currently investigated in IBD clinical trials.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprised of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is believed to develop as a result of a deregulated inflammatory response to environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite advances in understanding the genetic risks of IBD, associated single nucleotide polymorphisms have low penetrance, monozygotic twin studies suggest a low concordance rate, and increasing worldwide IBD incidence leave gaps in our understanding of IBD heritability and highlight the importance of environmental influences. Operating at the interface between environment and heritable molecular and cellular phenotypes, microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Studies to date have identified unique miRNA expression profile signatures in IBD and preliminary functional analyses associate these deregulated miRNAs to canonical pathways associated with IBD pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize and discuss the miRNA expression signatures associated with IBD in tissue and peripheral blood, highlight miRNAs with potential future clinical applications as diagnostic and therapeutic targets, and provide an outlook on how to develop miRNA based therapies.

ABSTRACT: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are characterized by periods of symptomatic relapse and remission. Diagnosis and assessment of inflammatory bowel disease has so far been based on clinical evaluation, serum parameters, radiology and endoscopy. Faecal markers such as calprotectin or lactoferrin have emerged as new diagnostic tools to detect and monitor intestinal inflammation. This review focuses on their potential clinical applications and limitations in the management of inflammatory bowel disease.
Article: Using balloon-overtube-assisted enteroscopy for postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically more challenging in patients with postsurgical anatomy such as Roux-en-Y anastomosis, frequently mandating an operative intervention. Although limited, there is growing evidence that ERCP can be performed using the balloon-overtube-assisted enteroscopy (BOAE) in patients with complex postoperative anatomy. We present the technical aspects of performing ERCP with the BOAE in patients presenting with complex postsurgical anatomy having biliary problems. ERCP using the BOAE is feasible in patients with complex postsurgical anatomy, permitting diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in 80% of patients.
Article: Avoiding analgesic escalation and excessive healthcare utilization in severe irritable bowel syndrome: A role for intramuscular anticholinergics?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: In patients with severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), abdominal pain can be the predominant symptom impacting on all aspects of their lives and resulting in excessive healthcare utilization. Furthermore, the use of analgesics can become excessive in this group of patients, sometimes leading to opiate dependency. Typically, the pain is often described as spastic in nature and we have speculated that parenteral anticholinergics might provide effective relief when all other measures have failed. For several years, we have therefore been asking general practitioners to consider teaching such patients to administer intramuscular hyoscine butylbromide for pain episodes and this study is an audit of this approach. Methods: Patients in whom the use of intramuscular hyoscine butylbromide had been recommended to their general practitioner in the last three years were interviewed over the telephone in order to document the efficacy of this approach as well as any potential disadvantages. Results: A total of 122 general practitioners were advised to try this approach, with 58 agreeing to teach the technique and prescribe the medication. Of the 58 patients who used the medication, 50 (86%) found it gave them pain relief, which was complete in six (10%), substantial in 36 (62%) and mild in eight (14%), with 15 (26%) decreasing the use of analgesics and 13 (32%) of the 41 taking opiates able to reduce or stop them completely. Side effects were few and largely consisted of those associated with anticholinergics. Only four patients stopped medication because of side effects and no major skin reactions were reported. Conclusions: The use of intramuscular hyoscine butylbromide shows promise in the management of IBS when severe unmanageable abdominal pain is a major problem. This approach appears to be safe and has the potential to reduce analgesic escalation, opiate dependency and attendances at accident and emergency departments.

ABSTRACT: The incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma has increased dramatically in the developed world in the last half century. Over approximately the same period there has been an increase in the prevalence of obesity. Multiple epidemiological studies and meta-analyses have confirmed that obesity, especially abdominal, visceral obesity, is a risk factor for gastro-oesophageal reflux, Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Although visceral obesity enhances gastro-oesophageal reflux, the available data also show that visceral obesity increases the risk of Barrett's oesophagus and adenocarcinoma via reflux-independent mechanisms. Several possible mechanisms could link obesity with the risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma in addition to mechanical effects increasing reflux. These include reduced gastric Helicobacter pylori infection, altered intestinal microbiome, factors related to lifestyle, the metabolic syndrome and associated low-grade inflammation induced by obesity and the secretion of mediators by adipocytes which may directly influence the oesophageal epithelium. Of these adipocyte-derived mediators, increased leptin levels have been independently associated with progression to oesophageal adenocarcinoma and in laboratory studies leptin enhances malignant behaviours in cell lines. Adiponectin is also secreted by adipocytes and levels decline with obesity: decreased serum adiponectin levels are associated with malignant progression in Barrett's oesophagus and experimentally adiponectin exerts anticancer effects in Barrett's cell lines and inhibits growth factor signalling. At present there are no proven chemopreventative interventions that may reduce the incidence of obesity-associated oesophageal cancer: observational studies suggest that the combined use of a statin and aspirin or another cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor is associated with a significantly reduced cancer incidence in patients with Barrett's oesophagus.
Article: Randomized, controlled pilot study comparing large-volume paracentesis using wall suction and traditional glass vacuum bottle methods[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Large-volume paracentesis (LVP) can be time and labor intensive depending on the amount of ascites removed and the method of drainage. Wall suction has been adopted as the preferred method of drainage at many centers, though the safety and benefits of this technique have not been formally evaluated. The primary objective of this study was to define the cost and time savings of wall suction over the traditional glass vacuum bottle method for ascites drainage. The secondary objective was to compare the safety profile and patient satisfaction using these two techniques. Methods: We conducted a randomized, controlled pilot study of the wall suction versus vacuum bottle methods for LVP in hospitalized patients. All LVPs were performed under ultrasound guidance by a single proceduralist. Patients with at least 4 liters removed received 25% intravenous albumin, 8 g/liter fluid removed. Demographic, clinical characteristics, and procedure details were recorded. Laboratory and hemodynamic data were recorded for 24 h prior to and 24-48 h post LVP. An electronic chart review was conducted to evaluate procedure-related complications. Data were compared using Fisher's exact test, t test, or Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Thirty-four patients were randomized to wall suction at 200 mmHg (n = 17) or glass vacuum bottle drainage (n = 17). Wall suction was significantly faster and less costly than vacuum bottle drainage (7 versus 15 min, p = 0.002; $4.59 versus $12.73, p < 0.001). There were no differences in outcomes at 24 and 48 h post LVP, or at 60-day follow up. Conclusion: Performing LVP using wall suction resulted in significantly shorter procedure time and supply cost savings. There were no differences in outcomes between the groups, suggesting equivalent safety, though larger studies powered to detect small differences are needed. Given its efficiency, convenience, and cost effectiveness, wall suction may be a superior method of ascites drainage for LVP.
Article: Advances in the management of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome: the role of linaclotide[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) is a commonly prevalent and clinically challenging disorder to treat. Until recently, most therapeutic agents had limited ability to address the complexity of symptoms inherent to the syndrome. The development of linaclotide provides a physiologically sound approach to treatment of the multiple symptoms of IBS-C. Clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of linaclotide, and a platform to better understand the symptomatology of IBS-C. Based on recent clinical evidence, linaclotide should be considered for patients with IBS-C because it improves abdominal pain and bowel symptoms. In phase III trials, linaclotide met the US Food and Drug Administration responder endpoint with a number needed to treat (NNT) of 5.1-7.9, and European Medicines Agency coprimary endpoints at 12 weeks with a NNT of 4.39-7.69, and at 26 weeks with a NNT of 4.93-5.68. It is safe and effective, with diarrhea reported as the most common adverse effect, which leads to discontinuation of the medication in approximately 5% of patients.
Article: Management of variceal and nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage remains the most common medical emergency managed by gastroenterologists. Causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in patients with liver cirrhosis can be grouped into two categories: the first includes lesions that arise by virtue of portal hypertension, namely gastroesophageal varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy; and the second includes lesions seen in the general population (peptic ulcer, erosive gastritis, reflux esophagitis, Mallory-Weiss syndrome, tumors, etc.). Emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is the standard procedure recommended for both diagnosis and treatment of UGIB. The endoscopic treatment of choice for esophageal variceal bleeding is band ligation of varices. Bleeding from gastric varices is treated by injection with cyanoacrylate. Treatment with vasoactive drugs as well as antibiotic treatment is started before or at the same time as endoscopy. Bleeding from portal hypertensive gastropathy is less frequent, usually chronic and treatment options include β-blocker therapy, injection therapy and interventional radiology. The standard of care of UGIB in patients with cirrhosis includes careful resuscitation, preferably in an intensive care setting, medical and endoscopic therapy, early consideration for placement of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and, sometimes, surgical therapy or hepatic transplant.

ABSTRACT: Chronic idiopathic constipation is highly prevalent among adults. Bile acids (BAs) and the enterohepatic BA circulation modulate colonic secretion and motility that affect transit. BAs in the colon have a dual action as osmotic and stimulant agents. Newer agents, such as elobixibat (A3309), an inhibitor of the ileal BA transporter, have the potential to improve significantly the management of chronic constipation, with minimal adverse effects. Elobixibat modulates the enterohepatic BA circulation, enhancing the delivery of BAs to the colon where they induce secretory and motor effects. Secondary effects of the inhibition of BA absorption are reduced activation of the farnesoid X receptor, decreased secretion of fibroblast growth factor-19 into the portal circulation, and increased BA synthesis. This review focuses on the role of BAs, the enterohepatic BA circulation, and an ileal BA transporter inhibitor (elobixibat) in chronic constipation.
Article: Hepatitis B virus treatment beyond the guidelines: Special populations and consideration of treatment withdrawal[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The goal of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment is to improve survival by preventing disease progression to decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma which is the cause of over 1 million deaths annually. The risk of disease progression is reduced when a sustained reduction of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA to undetectable levels and suppression of HBV replication are obtained which can result in regression of liver fibrosis and may even reverse cirrhosis. However, even if HBsAg loss occurs, HBV is not completely eradicated by treatment, and long-term therapy is required in patients who are HBeAg(-) and HBeAg(+) who do not maintain off-treatment virological suppression and in those with advanced liver disease. The recently updated European Association of the Study of the Liver (EASL) clinical practical guidelines for HBV have clarified, first, how to treat HBV (interferon or the most potent oral drugs with optimal resistance profiles, i.e. entecavir and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, should be used as first-line monotherapies); second, who should be treated (CHB in patients with significant liver disease but also patients who are HBsAg(+) and are receiving immunosuppressive treatment, patients coinfected with HBV and human immunodeficiency virus, mothers who are HBsAg(+) with high viral load in late pregnancy associated with sero vaccination to reduce the risk of vertical transmission of HBV; and third, when to stop antiviral therapies. The aim of this review was to clarify how to treat HBV and who should be treated, as well as when to stop treatment. Although the answer to these questions is clear for pegylated interferon, it is more debatable for nucleos(t)ide analogues (anti-HBe seroconversion, HBsAg loss or anti-HBs seroconversion with undetectable HBV DNA are clear indications to discontinue treatment but sustained undetectable HBV DNA in patients who are anti-HBe(+) without significant fibrosis might be another indication).
Article: Colonic smooth muscle cells and colonic motility patterns as a target for irritable bowel syndrome therapy: Mechanisms of action of otilonium bromide[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Otilonium bromide (OB) is a spasmolytic compound of the family of quaternary ammonium derivatives and has been successfully used in the treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) due to its specific pharmacodynamic effects on motility patterns in the human colon and the contractility of colonic smooth muscle cells. This article examines how. OB inhibits the main patterns of human sigmoid motility in vitro, which are spontaneous rhythmic phasic contractions, smooth muscle tone, contractions induced by stimulation of excitatory motor neurons and contractions induced by direct effect of excitatory neurotransmitters. It does this mainly by blocking calcium influx through L-type calcium channels and interfering with mobilization of cellular calcium required for smooth muscle contraction, thereby limiting excessive intestinal contractility and abdominal cramping. OB also inhibits T-type calcium channels and muscarinic responses. Finally, OB inhibits tachykinin receptors on smooth muscle and primary afferent neurons which may have the joint effect of reducing motility and abdominal pain. All these mechanisms mediate the therapeutic effects of OB in patients with IBS and might be useful in patients with other spastic colonic motility disorders such as diverticular disease.

Jeffco District Attorney Peter Weir is on a crusade to end sexting.
He will get on his soapbox, as he puts it, with anyone who'll listen to advice on stopping teenagers from sending naked photos of themselves to one another.
Sexting was in the news recently thanks to a scandal in Cañon City Schools that involved 100 students. Some were suspended, and others could face felony charges because sexting in Colorado is considered sexual exploitation of a child, a class 3 felony.
An inmate at the Jeffco jail committed suicide Thursday night in his cell.
Harley Jefferson Smith, 32, was found hanging by a bed sheet at 6 p.m. by deputies during their rounds, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies administered CPR, but Smith was declared dead at 6:40 p.m. at the jail. Smith had been booked into the jail on traffic charges on Thursday about noon.
The state has set a hearing date for a complaint filed by a Colorado Springs-based watchdog organization accusing groups involved in instigating the recall of three Jeffco school members of violating state campaign finance laws.
The east and west entrances to Mount Falcon Park were closed for several hours Tuesday morning while the Jeffco Sheriff's Office responded to a man in the park who reportedly was suicidal.
The Sheriff's Office was contacted Tuesday morning by a family member of the man, said spokeswoman Jacki Kelley. Both the east and west entrances to the park were closed during the incident.
Numerous mailbox break-ins in South Jeffco and the mountain areas in early November are believed to be related, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The perpetrators targeted clusters of mailboxes such as those at apartment complexes or for a group of homes in more remote mountain areas, said Deputy Gordon Neuenfeldt.
Customers of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association have notified the electric co-op that an automated calling service has been claiming that their bills are past due.
The call, which says electric service will be cut off in 30 to 45 minutes, instructs customers to make payment arrangements by calling an 888-prefix number, IREA says.
Sidewalks in downtown Littleton will be smoke-free starting in 2016.
On Nov. 3, the City Council voted 4-3 to ban outdoor smoking in public areas, including all sidewalks, a block north and south of Main Street between South Santa Fe Drive and Rio Grande Street. Smoking would be allowed on rooftops, rear patios and in parking lots.
The ordinance also classifies electronic cigarettes and vape pens as tobacco products. The restrictions will take effect Jan. 1.
It's rare when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reaches Conifer, but it does happen.
Earlier this year, tense Middle Eastern politics threatened to thwart the efforts of Conifer resident Tom Quinlan to make contact with a "ham" radio operator in every recognized nation.
The 78-year-old Quinlan, a Vietnam veteran, has been a ham operator for 61 years, ever since his neighbor introduced him to the hobby when he was a teenager growing up in New Jersey.
The owners of Bandimere Speedway are seeking a rezoning of their property that would keep the existing use of a racetrack but add residential and commercial uses to about 150 acres along C-470.
The rezoning, which is in the pre-application process with Jeffco Planning and Zoning, would involve more than 123 acres in unincorporated Jeffco, including the 106.8-acre racetrack property, along with 19.4 acres south of the track in Morrison and 7.1 acres north and east of the track in Lakewood.
Jeffco's county commissioners have delayed a vote — for the third time — on new transportation rules that would require striped bicycle lanes to be added to some roads.
The commissioners voted Oct. 27 to delay a final vote on the changes amid continued disagreement over the striped bicycle lanes. The amendments were originally presented Sept. 1 and again Sept. 29.
