American Annals of the Deaf
Volume 159, Number 1, Spring 2014
pp. 45-58 | 10.1353/aad.2014.0010
The Effects of the Language for Learning curriculum (Engelmann & Osborne, 1999) on through-the-air (i.e., signed and/or spoken) English skills for students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) were examined by means of a single-subject, concurrent-multiple-probes-acrossparticipants design. Four 11-year-old participants varied in auditory access, IQ, and age at amplification and/or cochlear implantation. All students showed increased accuracy of through-the-air English skills after the intervention (i.e., 15–20 lessons) and maintained these skills when assessed 1 week and 1 month later. The findings yielded some promising results indicating that a Direct Instruction curriculum may be an efficacious way to teach morphology and syntax to DHH students.

Can you at LEAST admit to yourselves that there is SOMETHING going, something being CONSTRUCTED, at least, by SOMEONE on the MOON?
COULD be US.
I just don't think so.....
These structures are TOO immense.

Does this mean that the notion that all footballers are dumb is followed by "and all their wives are junkies"?

I'm in a tough place today.
It's April. The stretch of time between March 14 and April 17 is hands-down the hardest time of year for me to face. Everyday, small stresses are harder. Everything cuts sharper during these few weeks. I simultaneously love and hate this time of year. The bluebonnets are out. I've always loved the fields and fields of blue along the highways during March and April. The natural beauty is a reminder that life goes on, even after things that make you feel as if your world has ended.
I spend this time of year trying both to remember and to forget. Kenneth's birthday is March 14, and the day he left this Earth is April 17. I want to remember his life, but I would so dearly love to forget certain things. If you're a parent, you know that when your baby hurts, you hurt. It's so much worse when it's a hurt you can't fix with a cuddle and a kiss. It's galling that my love as a mommy wasn't enough to make it all better, that instead Kenneth's suffering was ended in the way, ultimately, all of our suffering will someday end. I was supposed to go first, not him.
I'm in the middle of a health flare. Food is back to being my enemy, after a solid year of having a good enough handle on what to eat and what not to eat that I've gained back 10 pounds. I'm no longer so thin that strangers feel the need to comment on it. It's a very uncomfortable thing to have the feeling that people are judging you be confirmed by the snide "Girl, you need to eat a cheeseburger" comments. I eliminated wheat and a bunch of other foods from my diet and added a nightly glass of red wine. Hey, calories and heart health, right? I take my Domperidone (medication for my Gastroparesis) three times a day. I was actually eating normal-sized meals and relatively normal foods, with a few nods to my cranky gut in the foods I avoid. It was working.
For two days now, I'm back to being nauseous and to feeling full quickly. I'm also having some autoimmune symptoms, mainly in the form of fatigue and all-over pain, so I think I'm just in a big fat flare overall. I'm taking Plaquenil and Prednisone. Plaquenil is an anti-malarial drug that is also known to reduce inflammation, but it can take months for it to become effective. Prednisone is a steroid that works quickly to control inflammation, but it has a lot of very unpleasant side-effects if taken long term. Since I was just diagnosed with the Mixed Connective Tissue Disease in November, the idea is that I'll take a low-dose of Prednisone until the Plaquenil starts working. The problem is that so far, the Plaquenil has not been working well enough. My rheumatologist started making noise about Methotrexate at my last appointment. I've convinced him to let me try the Plaquenil for another few months before we go that route. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy drug, and it scares me.
When I feel good, I think "I can do this. I can keep working full time, manage these diseases, and be a good mom." When I feel bad, like I do today, I start to wonder if it's just a matter of time before I end up having to quit work. I have quite literally trained my entire life to be able to have a career in music. Music is not so much what I do as it is a piece of who I am. Further, I'm a singer. My body is my instrument, and right now my body seems hellbent on destroying itself a little at a time. Lung issues are common with my autoimmune disease. Lung issues would be devastating to me as a singer. The unknowns of this disease are terrifying.
I see the irony in how I'm feeling today versus my last post about positivity. Tomorrow, I'll pull up my big girl panties and deal with it again. Today…. well, today, I'm going to engage in a little therapeutic whining that will hopefully help to silence the little voices in my head that say "It's too hard. Can you really keep doing this?". Blogging helps.
So does Netflix.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and sugar 10-inch cake or Bundt pan. Chill.
Bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in a double boiler or medium saucepan. Cut the butter into small pieces, and place in a large mixing bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water, and add the chocolate pieces, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon while the mixture melts. Remove the bowl from the water, and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Place the egg yolks and 1⁄2 cup of the sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk, and beat on high speed until just pale and light, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the beaten yolks, and combine at low speed. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Put the egg whites in the bowl of a food mixer, and whisk on medium-high speed. When the whites are slightly foamy, add cream of tartar. Once soft peaks form, add the remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar, and whisk until whites are glossy. Fold the meringue into chocolate mixture until they are just combined; do not overmix.
Pour into the prepared pan until it is 1 inch from the top, and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to rest for 20 minutes. Unmold, sprinkle the top with cocoa powder, and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.(Published 2004)
A roster of extreme deliciousness (at modest prices).

Alternate title: Redtails
"Patriotic," "jingoistic," "old-fashioned," "corny" and "inspirational for teenage boys." Those are the words of George Lucas, the executive producer of "Red Tails," describing his whiz-bang action film about African-American fighter pilots in World War II on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart." Mr. Lucas financed the $58 million movie, which the major studios didn't want to touch, because of the box office limitations of its mostly African-American cast. "It is exactly like 'Flying Leathernecks,' only this one was held up for release since 1942, when it was shot," Mr. Lucas said. In structure and tone, "Red Tails" proudly harks back to the 1940s and '50s, when good guys were good, and bad guys bad. To say that this live-action comic book lives up to Mr. Lucas's description is not a wholehearted endorsement. Are teenage boys as naïve today as they were 60 or more years ago? And much of the dialogue is groaningly clunky. But so it was back then. — Stephen Holden

The neocons are rewriting more Iraq War history, arguing that if only President Obama had stayed the course on an open-ended U.S. military occupation, the regional situation would be a lot better. But the truth is that it was their invasion of Iraq that set loose the chaos, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Foreign Policy
Neocons Push Israeli-Saudi Alliance
Exclusive: Early U.S. presidents warned against the dangers of "entangling alliances," prescient advice that the neocons want President Obama to ignore amid demands from Israel and Saudi Arabia that America tie itself up in the endless and bloody sectarian conflicts of the Middle East, reports Robert Parry.
The Two Amigos' 'Credibility' Crisis
Neocons across Official Washington equate "credibility" with taking military action against some country that won't bend to America's will. But true credibility for the U.S. government can come from taking measured and responsible approaches to international disagreements, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
A Threat to Nuke Tehran
Exclusive: Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson urged the United States to coerce Iran by dropping a demonstration nuke in the desert followed by a blackmail threat that the next one would obliterate Tehran. But this idea of genocide-extortion has drawn no official U.S. condemnation, says Robert Parry.
Geopolitics of the Drone
The U.S. drone program has decimated the leadership of al-Qaeda and other Islamic militant groups, but it also has alienated people and governments in countries on the front lines by killing civilians and disrupting political alliances, a complexity often missed by the U.S. media, as Gareth Porter reported for Inter Press Service.
The 'Merchant of Death' Lobby
The U.S. gun industry doesn't want any restrictions on its profit-making role as a global "merchant of death," so its lobby has whipped half the Senate into line opposing a treaty aimed at curbing human rights crimes by regulating the illicit flow of weapons around the world, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
Why Snowden's Passport Matters
President Obama declares his love of "transparency," but has an odd way of showing it, meting out harsh punishments to people who give the public a glimpse into the vast darkness of U.S. secrets, including revoking Edward Snowden's passport to stop him from seeking asylum, an action addressed by Norman Solomon.
Dangerous History of Regime Change
Exclusive: Official Washington justifies military and political interventions in other countries under the theory of "U.S. exceptionalism." But these "regime changes" often have unexpected results, as with the bloody coup d'etat that removed South Vietnamese President Diem a half-century ago, recalls Beverly Deepe Keever.
Treating Anti-Syria Charges as Flat-Fact
Exclusive: More than two months after the chemical weapons attack near Damascus, President Obama has still not released any proof to support his allegations blaming the Syrian government. But the New York Times has embraced the accusations as flat fact, a replay of the run-up to invading Iraq, reports Robert Parry.
Saudi Leaders in a Snit at UN
Saudi Arabia is upset President Obama didn't bomb Syria and join the Saudis' crusade to fight Shiite influence in the Mideast. It's not enough that the U.S. tolerates Saudi support for radical Sunni jihadists. So, Saudi leaders are boycotting their own seat on the UN Security Council, notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

So i will be 6wks 0days tomorrow. Was wondering if it will be safe to go to Busch Gardens or Kings Dominion and still ride the roller coasters at this point. Also when do you think it gets "too dangerous" to ride the roller coasters??

My OB and OB nurse said as long as its not "straining your abdomen", and that if you were to do everything and then miscarried the next day, its HIGHLY doubtful that it was the rides. I am going to take it slow still, and probably won't do upside-down rides (because your body is forced against the harness).. but I don't know if I'll do any thrill rides or not.

I probably wouldn't chance it. I went at 9 weeks pregnant last time, with my husband to universal studios, and didn't go on any of the rides that had a pregnancy restriction. Most rides will tell you if it's considered safe, or not.

RickyTina - The best thing to do is ask your OB. I trust mine completely, and she said I can do almost everything because I'll only be five weeks. EVERY RIDE has pregnancy restrictions at the park we are going to, but like I've been told, and like I have repeated, its meant more for women that are "showing".. not pregnant with a poppy seed baby. They put the warnings on everything so they aren't liable. (My friend used to work at disney).. Trust your gut. We are just doing family rides for the most part. (Like a scooby doo ride where you are in a boat shooting laser guns... it has a pregnancy restriction, but no hills, bumps, or anything... its safe for INFANTS for crying out loud.)

Thanks alot for your posts ladies. Since my last pregnancy ended with a blighted ovum, im thinking based on your posts i should leave the "big rides" alone :( Guess that doesn't mean i cant still have "some" fun with DH and kiddies though :) And hopefully being due in March 2013, by the time summer rolls around again i will be ok to resume the thrill-seeking :) thanks alot!! Good luck to all the mommies!!

Rich, chocolate brownies are topped with marshmallows, nuts and a thick chocolate frosting in these Rocky Road Brownies.
I like chocolate. I really do. But it's no secret that I'll usually take something lemon or fruity before I go for the chocolate.
But I do like chocolate.
Sadly, though, in the last 6 1/2 years of blogging, I've only collected a small handful of brownie recipes. I decided that this really is a travesty, and that I need to do something about that.
So today, I bring you brownies.
But not just any brownies. Rocky Road Brownies. These are straight from my childhood. They were one of my mom's specialties growing up, and are still one of my favorites today. I have come to realize that you just can't beat the foods from your childhood!!
These start with a rich, chocolate brownie that is pretty perfect all on it's own. But then you top them with marshmallows and nuts and a warm chocolate frosting that gets poured over the top of everything. The frosting will set up perfectly if you are patient, but as you can kind of tell from the photograph, I wasn't being very patient. In fact, I have very little patience when it comes to these brownies!! But don't worry – they still taste phenomenal, they are just a little bit messier when they haven't set up yet!!
- ½ cup butter
- 3 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 4 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- ½ cup butter
- 6 tablespoons evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup nuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the chocolate and cook until the chocolate has melted.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and foamy. Add the salt, sugar and vanilla to the eggs. Stir in the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the flour and pecans, being careful to not overmix. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until set, about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together the cocoa, shortening and butter, stirring frequently. Add in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Put the powdered sugar in a bowl, then pour the chocolate mixture over it and mix to combine. Stir in the nuts.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows over the top of the cooled brownies. Quickly pour the warm chocolate frosting over the top. (The frosting will thicken as it cools.) Allow to cool completely before cutting.

I am considering various options for the logo for a new corporate entity. The name of the company is Emerald Pacific Resources. The logo should feature "Emerald" and "Pacific" predominately. We are not sure if we would like to include "Resources" in the logo yet and would like to see several design ideas ("Resources" would be a smaller subtitle font).
Emerald Pacific is a recycling and resources company. Our colors are green (to represent recycling, nature, and the emerald in our name) and blue (to represent pacific). We want a very professional, very clean logo. Not a "fun" or "goofy" logo. We are a professional services company and we need to reflect this with our logo.
Besides just the words, we most likely want some kind of object in the logo, but it should not be an obvious emerald or anything like that. It should be an artful, "vague" design that could be symbolic and representative of different things, but plays into the recycling, green, environment theme....

Awesome!! Came in my elf subscription box. This stuff helps hold a curl & gives the illusion of length by coating lashes. It is white initially yes but it dries which takes a bit yes but it's then takes on the appearance of clear. I do use elf mascara on occasion but normally I use Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara as of lately coz it was in a Macy's EL GWP w the elf waterproofing top coat which also is amazing & was in my previous elf sub box in July. Combining this primer, a good mascara & the elf top coat I have a really great lash routine. It takes about 3-4 minutes total time to go do but ur mascara will look so good. It's not too wet neither but it does look like a small container not sure how long it's gonna last but I would repurchase. I've never used much in the way of lash primers except a long time ago there was a DS mascara (don't remember brand I think loreal) that was dual ended w primer I don't remember being too wowed but this stuff is so good. <$5!! The key is to have an already good-decent mascara imho it doesn't improve s--t mascaras.

I was quite disappointed with this mascara primer, I have used it a couple of times and didn't notice any visible difference with my lashes. I also found it strange how the actual product is white and it makes your lashes white upon application.
The tube itself looks quite nice and the wand is very easy to use (high points for packaging) but unfortunately the 'primer' aspect did nothing for me and feel like it was a waste of money even though it was under $10.
That's why I give it 2/5 and won't be buying this again. Not my favourite E.L.F product at all.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Olive, Neutral
Hair: Black, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Black
This is fantastic! I absolutely notice a difference in my lashes when I use this before applying my mascara. I makes them more full, the mascara I put on top doesn't clump as much, and it helps keep my lashes conditioned. It's only $3.00 so you cannot beat that! I love this product and will repurchase when I run out.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Other

I got this in hopes it would help my actual mascara look extra dark and dramatic. I have naturally STRAIGHT lashes that I have to curl, curl, curl and hold up with waterproof mascara. When I put this primer on, it instantly took the curl out of my lashes and made them wet and droopy.
Not ideal for someone with straight lashes.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Black, Wavy, Other

Tried this out of curiosity and it's really cheap which is always good. Read a lot of complaints about how little product the brush seemed to put on lashes. I solved that with a zig zag motion while brushing it on to deposit more product on lashes and brushing both top and bottom of lashes. While applying it noticed it didn't clump or look like white goop all over my lashes. I put this as a reference for people and I consider it neither good nor bad about the product.
My impression is that this product eliminates the need of an extra coat. So with my favorite mascaras if I use 2-3 coats usually with the primer I need 1-2 coats. For example I first tried this with Cover Girl Remarkable Professional Washable Waterproof mascara. I like that product but I have to really layer it with three coats for it to get volume I want. With the e.l.f. mascara primer I needed two coats at the most. It helped the curl keep longer too. With the new Cover Girl Supersizer one coat gives me the look that I would need two coats for without it. Best of all with the Supersizer and primer I can put two coats of the Supersizer on for a more dramatic look. There is no putting on three coats for me with the Supersizer. It clumps like crazy and the third coat is combed out anyway with my metal mascara comb. And yes it did seem to help this mascara hold the curl longer too. As for primer helping my mascara stay on longer I can't say. I never had a problem with either Cover Girl Remarkable Professional or Supersizer not staying on my lashes all day. That's why I use them!
As a test I bought a lengthening mascara to see if it could help it in volume. I bought Maybelline Stiletto waterproof. In itself the mascara is nothing special with not much volume. With the primer it helped to get more volume so that my lashes did pop more. It didn't make the mascara spectacular but it did make it acceptable. Frankly though you can get a better effect by putting your favorite volumizing mascara on top of your favorite lengthening mascara.
Packaging of this primer makes me angry. I get that e.l.f. wants to keep the price low but they did it by giving us less than 2/3 the amount of a regular full mascara tube AND they hid that by putting a LONG handle on the brush. Cheap trick, e.l.f!
UPDATE: Beware! When this product gets low in the tube and dry up like all mascaras products inevitably do it actually makes your current mascara worse! It'll make the application clumpy like heck. Considering how little product e.l.f. gives this mascara primer will dry out very fast. Don't bother with this.

This primer did next to nothing for me. I barely see any product on my lashes and I don't see any difference in my mascara. For me, the better ELF product is the Studio Lash Extending Mascara, worn in conjunction with a more volumizing mascara.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm

This primer is worth the money and more.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is an everyday staple for me. If you have a trouble taming your lashes with tools and brushes, you absolutely need this primer.
What it does: Keep mascara in place and prevents smudging. Curls your lashes perfectly, adds volume and length. Goes on clear with no clumps and separates lashes. It's a steal at $3 US.
What it doesn't do: Keeps the mascara on your lashes for the entire day. Lightweight. Allow you to wear it alone.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is decent eyelash primer. It makes my lashes thicker, which is much needed. Unfortunately it doesn't help with length or it would be a holy-grail product. It doesn't seem to adversely impact how long my mascara lasts. And the price is reasonable. I'll continue to purchase.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This lash primer is MEH. It has a thin, watery consistency which does not apply nicely at all. Adds no volume or drama, doesn't build up my lashes. Two lippies instead of just one because it does keep mascara in place and prevents it from smudging. But it's just such a wimpy product, and I hate the way my lashes look when I use this.
My favorite lash primer is Lancome's Cils Booster XL, but it's pricey and I'm always on the lookout for a cheaper alternative. The best inexpensive one that I've found is Hard Candy's 1,000 Lashes- I'd recommend it a million times over this E.L.F. primer.
Was extremely disappointed by this, wouldn't buy again.

A DJ, producer, party promoter, and night owl, Mantas is a man in love with a sound that is in love with your body. Think: gentle kicks, closed high hats, whispered, seductive vocals, loopy, circus bass. Sonically wise beyond his years, Mantas pushes the boundaries of Chicago's audio palette. His sets mix classic house and the newest techno party jams with the warped world of artists like Melchior and Ricardo. Fans from Chicago and beyond have flocked to hear Mantas in ever-rising numbers. And as those who have witnessed his marathon after-party sessions know so well, it's clear that the Stallion's magic really works. Soon after moving to the Windy City at the tender age of 18, Mantas attended his first warehouse party. The rest is history. Being a regular guest at Smart Bar, one of the oldest and most respected clubbing institutions in North America, and having played for such local promoters as Paradigm, Volatl, MiM and Varsity All Stars at various venues around town, Mantas's latest accomplishment is a residency at Chicago's Spybar, one of the world's foremost purveyors of electronic music. By performing with artists as diverse as Bruno Pronsato and Martin Buttrich, Mantas has carefully honed his sound, tailoring his style to the event while still keeping things all his own, already spreading his musical knowledge and unparalleled taste to places like Baum in Bogotá, Output in New York, Detroit's TV Lounge, and the list keeps on growing. The last few years have seen big things for Mantas and his crew. In addition to working on production, in the fall of 2012 Mantas teamed up with his best friend Max Jacobson to bring Tied to life - a party series that has already hosted the talents of D'julz, Giles Smith, DeWalta, Priku, Anthea, Federico Molinari, Anthony Collins, and more. As dance music spirals into the mainstream, the Tied parties keep Chicago anchored to its underground roots. Forever young, forever strong... there is no telling what's in store for Mantas's future.Selected discography Mantas Steles2015 // Max Jacobson & Mantas Steles - Guinea Pig / Baile Musik Max Jacobson & Mantas Steles - Now You See Me / Baile Musik 2014 // Ari Frank & Max Jacobson feat.

Martinez was removed after giving up six runs in the first inning against the Phillies on Monday and indications are that it was due to a strained right calf muscle, according to the in-game broadcast. Martinez reportedly hurt the calf in pre-game warmups then struggled in the inning, giving up hits to three of the first four batters. He also hit two batters, surrendered a walk and committed a bak in the inning while being hurt by some questionable defense. The question that has to be asked is, was it the calf or a convenient excuse to sit him with the team down 6-0 against Cole Hamels and Martinez only pitching on four days rest? If Pedro is okay, he will next start on Saturday against Colorado when the Mets honor the 1986 World Championship team. If he is not 100 per cent, look for Darren Oliver, who replaced Martinez to start the second inning, to get a spot start as Mike Pelfrey is on the DL and Brian Bannister is getting hit hard while on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk.

Article: Preoperative Breast MRI Can Reduce the Rate of Tumor-Positive Resection Margins and Reoperations in Patients Undergoing Breast-Conserving Surgery[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In breast cancer patients eligible for breast-conserving surgery, we evaluated whether the information provided by preoperative MRI of the breast would result in fewer tumor-positive resection margins and fewer reoperations. The study group consisted of 123 consecutive patients diagnosed with either breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ eligible for breast-conserving surgery between April 2007 and July 2010. For these patients, a first plan for breast-conserving surgery was made on the basis of clinical examination and conventional imaging. The final surgical plan was made with knowledge of the preoperative breast MRI. The rates of tumor-positive resection margins and reoperations were compared with those of a historical control group consisting of 119 patients who underwent 123 breast-conserving procedures between January 2005 and December 2006. The percentage of change in the surgical plan was recorded. Preoperative breast MRI changed the surgical plan to more extensive surgery in 42 patients (34.1%), mainly to mastectomy (29 patients, 23.6%). Ninety-four patients underwent 95 breast-conserving procedures. Significantly fewer patients had tumor-positive resection margins than in the control group (15.8%, 15/95 versus 29.3%, 36/123; p < 0.01). Patients in the study group underwent significantly fewer reoperations compared with the historical control group (18.9%, 18/95 vs 37.4%, 46/123; p < 0.01). Preoperative breast MRI can substantially decrease the rate of tumor-positive resection margins and reoperations in breast cancer patients eligible for breast-conserving surgery.
Article: Suspected Carotid Artery Stenosis: Cost-effectiveness of CT Angiography in Work-up of Patients with Recent TIA or Minor Ischemic Stroke 1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of state-of-the-art noninvasive diagnostic imaging strategies in patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke who are suspected of having carotid artery stenosis (CAS). All prospectively evaluated patients provided informed consent, and the local ethics committee approved this study. Diagnostic performance, treatment, long-term events, quality of life, and costs resulting from strategies employing duplex ultrasonography (US), computed tomographic (CT) angiography, contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography, and combinations of these modalities were modeled in a decision tree and Markov model. Data sources included a prospective diagnostic cohort study, a meta-analysis, and a review of the literature. Outcomes were costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, and net health benefits (QALY-equivalents), with a willingness-to-pay threshold of euro 50,000 per QALY and a societal perspective. The strategy with the highest net health benefit was considered the most cost effective. Extensive one-way, two-way, and probabilistic sensitivity analyses to explore the effect of varying parameter values were performed. The reference case analysis assumed that patients underwent surgery 2-4 weeks after the first symptoms, and the effect of earlier intervention was explored. The reference case analysis showed that duplex US combined with CT angiography and surgery for 70%-99% stenoses was the most cost-effective strategy, with a net health benefit of 13.587 and 15.542 QALY-equivalents in men and women, respectively. In men, the CT angiography strategy with a 70%-99% cutoff yielded slightly more QALYs, at an incremental cost of euro 71,419 per QALY, compared with duplex US combined with CT angiography. In patients with a high-risk profile, in patients with a high prior probability of disease, and when patients could be treated within 2 weeks after the first symptoms, the CT angiography strategy with surgery for 50%-99% stenoses was the most cost-effective strategy. In diagnosing CAS, duplex US should be the initial test, and, if its results are positive, CT angiography should be performed; patients with 70%-99% stenoses should then undergo carotid endarterectomy. In patients with a high-risk profile, a high probability of CAS, or who can undergo surgery without delay, immediate CT angiography and surgery for 50%-99% stenoses is indicated.
Article: Atherosclerotic plaque volume and composition in symptomatic carotid arteries assessed with multidetector CT angiography; relationship with severity of stenosis and cardiovascular risk factors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to examine the volume and the composition of atherosclerotic plaque in symptomatic carotid arteries and to investigate the relationship between these plaque features and the severity of stenosis and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. One hundred patients with cerebrovascular symptoms underwent CT angiography. We measured plaque volume (PV) and the relative contribution of plaque components (calcifications, fibrous tissue, and lipid) in the symptomatic artery. The contribution of different components was measured as the number of voxels within defined ranges of HU values (calcification >130 HU, fibrous tissue 60-130 HU, lipid core <60 HU). Fifty-seven patients had atherosclerotic plaque in the symptomatic carotid artery. The severity of stenosis and PV were moderately correlated. Age and smoking were independently related to PV. Patients with hypercholesterolemia had significantly less lipid and more calcium in their plaques than patients without hypercholesterolemia. Other cardiovascular risk factors were not significantly related to PV or plaque composition. Luminal stenosis of the carotid artery partly reflects the amount of atherosclerotic carotid disease. Plaque volume and plaque composition are associated with cardiovascular risk factors.
Article: Assessment of atherosclerotic carotid plaque volume with multidetector computed tomography angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The amount of atherosclerotic plaque and its components (calcifications, fibrous tissue, and lipid core) could be better predictors of acute events than the now currently used degree of stenosis. Therefore, we evaluated a dedicated software tool for volume measurements of atherosclerotic carotid plaque and its components in multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) images. Data acquisition was approved by the Institutional Review Board and all patients gave written informed consent. MDCTA images of 56 carotid arteries were analyzed by three observers. Plaque volumes were assessed by manual drawing of the outer vessel contour. The luminal boundary was determined based on a Hounsfield-Unit (HU) threshold. The contribution of different components was measured by the number of voxels within defined ranges of HU-values (calcification >130 HU, fibrous tissue 60-130 HU, lipid core <60 HU). Interobserver variability (IOV) was assessed. Plaque volume was 1,259 +/- 621 mm3. The calcified, fibrous and lipid volumes were 238 +/- 252 mm3, 647 +/- 277 mm3 and 376 +/- 283 mm3, respectively. IOV was moderate with interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.76 to 0.99 and coefficients of variation (COV) ranging from 3% to 47%. Atherosclerotic carotid plaque volume and plaque component volumes can be assessed with MDCTA with a reasonable observer variability.
Article: Is a fetal origin of the posterior cerebral artery a risk factor for TIA or ischemic stroke? A study with 16-multidetector-row CT angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fetal origin of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is not uncommon. Whether patients with this anomaly have a higher risk of ischemic stroke in the territory of the PCA is not known. The clinical benefit of screening for a fetal origin in patients with TIA or stroke in the territory of the PCA and an ipsilateral atherosclerotic carotid stenosis is not clear. This study assessed the frequency of a fetal origin of the PCA in patients with a TIA or infarct in the territory of the PCA with 16-multidetector-row CT angiography (CTA). 82 patients (52 male; mean age = 64; range 19 to 90 years) with isolated homonymous hemianopia and/or a PCA infarct underwent CTA of the carotid artery and circle of Willis. A fetal origin of the PCA at the symptomatic side was present in 14 patients (17 %) and at the asymptomatic side in 18 patients (22%) (OR: 0.7; 95 % CI: 0.3 to 1.7). Severity of stenosis (NASCET criteria) of the ICA at the symptomatic side was < 30%, 30-49% and > or = 50% in 72, 2 and 8 patients, respectively. Number and frequency of a fetal origin in these groups were 12 (17 %), 0 (0%) and 2 (25 %), respectively. There was no association between a severe carotid stenosis and a fetal origin of the PCA at the symptomatic side. This study does not provide arguments for an increased risk of ischemic stroke in the territory of the PCA in patients with a fetal origin of the PCA. A few patients with a TIA or infarct in the territory of the PCA have a fetal origin of the PCA in combination with a high-grade stenosis of the ipsilateral ICA, but not more often than one would expect from chance. Nevertheless, these patients may benefit from carotid endarterectomy.
Article: Evaluation of an improved technique for lumen path definition and lumen segmentation of atherosclerotic vessels in CT angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Vessel image analysis is crucial when considering therapeutical options for (cardio-) vascular diseases. Our method, VAMPIRE (Vascular Analysis using Multiscale Paths Inferred from Ridges and Edges), involves two parts: a user defines a start- and endpoint upon which a lumen path is automatically defined, and which is used for initialization; the automatic segmentation of the vessel lumen on computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images. Both parts are based on the detection of vessel-like structures by analyzing intensity, edge, and ridge information. A multi-observer evaluation study was performed to compare VAMPIRE with a conventional method on the CTA data of 15 patients with carotid artery stenosis. In addition to the start- and endpoint, the two radiologists required on average 2.5 (SD: 1.9) additional points to define a lumen path when using the conventional method, and 0.1 (SD: 0.3) when using VAMPIRE. The segmentation results were quantitatively evaluated using Similarity Indices, which were slightly lower between VAMPIRE and the two radiologists (respectively 0.90 and 0.88) compared with the Similarity Index between the radiologists (0.92). The evaluation shows that the improved definition of a lumen path requires minimal user interaction, and that using this path as initialization leads to good automatic lumen segmentation results.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to describe two cases in which fibromuscular dysplasia of the internal carotid artery was diagnosed with CT angiography. CONCLUSIONS: CT angiography can depict the characteristic findings of fibromuscular dysplasia. If patients with cerebrovascular symptoms undergo screening with CT angiography of the supraaortic vessels, more cases of fibromuscular dysplasia will be recognized as a cause of neurologic symptoms.
Article: Optimization of CT Angiography of the Carotid Artery with a 16-MDCT Scanner: Craniocaudal Scan Direction Reduces Contrast Material-Related Perivenous Artifacts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of our study was to compare the effect of a caudocranial scan direction versus a craniocaudal scan direction on arterial enhancement and perivenous artifacts in 16-MDCT angiography of the supraaortic arteries. Eighty consecutive patients (51 men; mean age, 62 years; age range, 28-89 years) underwent scanning in the caudocranial direction (group 1; n = 40) or the craniocaudal direction (group 2; n = 40). All patients received 80 mL of contrast material followed by a 40-mL saline chaser bolus, both administered IV at 4 mL/sec. Bolus tracking was used. Attenuation inside the arterial lumen was measured at intervals of 1 sec throughout the data set. Attenuation in the superior vena cava (SVC) was measured. Contrast material-related perivenous artifacts were graded on a scale of 0-3 (none to extensive). Attenuation in the ascending aorta, carotid bifurcation, and intracranial arteries was slightly lower in group 2 versus group 1 (231 +/- 64 H, 348 +/- 52 H, and 258 +/- 48 H vs 282 +/- 43 H, 381 +/- 73 H, and 291 +/- 77 H, respectively; p < 0.05). Maximum and mean arterial attenuations were slightly lower in group 2 versus group 1 (369 +/- 58 H and 303 +/- 48 H vs 401 +/- 71 H and 334 +/- 58 H; p < 0.05). Attenuation in the SVC was much lower in group 2 versus group 1 (169 +/- 39 H vs 783 +/- 330 H; p < 0.001). Mean streak artifact score was much lower in group 2 versus group 1 (1.3 +/- 0.9 vs 2.5 +/- 0.6; p < 0.001). Use of a craniocaudal scan direction results in slightly lower attenuation of the carotid artery and much lower attenuation of the SVC. Streak artifacts are significantly reduced. This technique allows better evaluation of the ascending aorta and supraaortic arteries.
Article: High Iodine Concentration Contrast Material for Noninvasive Multislice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to compare intracoronary attenuation on 16-row multislice computed tomography (16-MSCT) coronary angiography using 2 contrast materials (CM) with high iodine concentration. Forty consecutive patients (29 male, 11 female; mean age, 61+/-11 years) with suspected coronary artery disease were randomized to 2 groups to receive 100 mL of either iopromide 370 (group 1: Ultravist 370, 370 mg iodine/mL; Schering AG, Berlin, Germany) or iomeprol 400 (group 2: Iomeron 400, 400 mg iodine/mL; Bracco Imaging SpA, Milan, Italy). Both CM were administered at a rate of 4 mL/s. All patients underwent 16-MSCT coronary angiography (Sensation 16; Siemens, Germany) with collimation 16 x 0.75 mm and rotation time 375 ms. The attenuation in Hounsfield units (HU) achieved after each CM was determined at regions of interest (ROIs) placed at the origin of coronary arteries and on the ascending aorta, descending aorta, and pulmonary artery. Differences in mean attenuation in the coronary arteries and on the ascending aorta, descending aorta, and pulmonary artery were evaluated using Student t test. The mean attenuation achieved at each anatomic site was consistently greater after iomeprol 400 than after iopromide 370. At the origin of coronary arteries, the mean attenuation after iomeprol 400 (340+/-53 HU) was greater (P<0.05) than that after iopromide 370 (313+/- 42 HU). Similar findings were noted for the mean attenuation in the ascending aorta, descending aorta, and pulmonary artery. The intravenous administration of iomeprol 400 provides higher attenuation of the coronary arteries and of the great arteries of the thorax as compared with iopromide 370 using the same injection parameters.
Article: Evaluation of an improved technique for automated center lumen line definition in cardiovascular image data[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to evaluate a new method for automated definition of a center lumen line in vessels in cardiovascular image data. This method, called VAMPIRE, is based on improved detection of vessel-like structures. A multiobserver evaluation study was conducted involving 40 tracings in clinical CTA data of carotid arteries to compare VAMPIRE with an established technique. This comparison showed that VAMPIRE yields considerably more successful tracings and improved handling of stenosis, calcifications, multiple vessels, and nearby bone structures. We conclude that VAMPIRE is highly suitable for automated definition of center lumen lines in vessels in cardiovascular image data.
Article: Sixteen–Detector Row CT Angiography of Carotid Arteries: Comparison of Different Volumes of Contrast Material with and without a Bolus Chaser 1[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To prospectively compare different volumes of intravenously administered contrast material with and without a bolus chaser at 16-detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography of the carotid arteries. Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent were obtained. Seventy-five consecutive patients (44 men, 31 women; mean age, 63 years; range, 22-85 years) were allocated to one of three protocols: group 1, 80 mL of contrast material; group 2, 80 mL of contrast material followed by 40 mL of saline; and group 3, 60 mL of contrast material followed by 40 mL of saline. Bolus tracking was used to synchronize contrast material injection with CT scanning. The attenuation in Hounsfield units was measured from the ascending aorta to the intracranial arteries at 1-second intervals. Differences were tested with the Student t test. The maximum attenuation was reached in the proximal internal carotid artery in all groups. The addition of a bolus chaser to 80-mL contrast material resulted in a higher mean attenuation (323 HU +/- 39 vs 351 HU +/- 60, P = .06), higher maximum attenuation (393 HU +/- 53 vs 425 HU +/- 76, P = .09), and higher minimum attenuation (240 HU +/- 34 vs 264 HU +/- 48, P < .05). Group 3 had lower mean, maximum, and minimum attenuation than did groups 1 and 2 (P < .001). The addition of a bolus chaser to 80 mL of contrast material results in a slightly higher attenuation. Decreasing the volume of contrast material from 80 to 60 mL results in a significantly lower attenuation.
Conference Paper: Carotid Arteries Run-off with 64-slice Spiral Computed Tomography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the features of a new generation of multislice CT scanner2. Describe the protocol and issues related to the cardiovascular imaging of the head and neck 3. Provide clinical examples of cardiovascular diseases of head and neck ABSTRACT Sixteen-slice Computed Tomography (CT) has significantly improved the capabilities for non-invasive angiography in all the regions of the body. The improvement was larger in regions where vessels are smaller in diameter and show a more tortuous anatomy. These regions are the heart and the carotido-vertebral circulation.A new generation of multislice CT scanner characterized with higher spatial and temporal resolution has been introduced. This will reduce the scan time for head and neck vascular run-off In this exhibit we describe a new generation of multislice CT scanner able to scan 64 slices per rotation with a voxel size of 0.3x0.3x0.4mm, and a rotation time of 0.33s (effective temporal resolution up to 165ms). Technical issues are described and clinical examples are provided. DISCLOSURE K.S.,T.G.F.: Employees, Siemens AG.
Conference Paper: CT Angiography of the Carotid Artery with a 16-slice Multidetector CT Scanner: Comparison of Different Volumes of Contrast Material with and without Bolus Chaser[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: HTML Purpose: To compare different volumes of contrast material with and without a bolus chaser for CT angiography of the carotid artery with a 16-slice multidetector CT scanner. Methods and Materials: 75 consecutive patients (50 male; mean age=62; range 22-85yrs) were enrolled for the study. The first 25 patients (group 1) received 80 cc contrast material, the second 25 patients (group 2) received 80 cc contrast material followed by 40 cc saline and the last 25 patients (group 3) received 60 cc contrast material followed by 40 cc saline. CT angiography was performed with a 16-slice MDCT scanner (Sensation 16, Siemens, Germany). Scan volume ranged from the ascending aorta to the intracranial circulation. Scan parameters: number of detectors/collimation 16/0.75 mm, feed/rotation 12 mm, rotation time 0.5 sec. CTA scan was started when bolus tracking measured an increase in density in the ascending aorta of 75 Hounsfield Units (HU). A region of interest inside the vessel lumen was measured in each scan throughout the data set, with a 1 second interval. Results: The mean HU in the ascending aorta in group 1, 2 and 3 was 281 � 35 HU, 310 � 43 HU and 270 � 48 HU, respectively (group 1 vs 2 and 2 vs 3: p<0.01). The mean HU in the internal carotid artery in group 1, 2 and 3 was 380 � 53 HU, 410 � 86 HU and 293 � 71 HU, respectively (group 2 vs 3: p<0.01). The mean HU in the intracranial vessels in group 1, 2 and 3 was 286 � 67 HU, 286 � 59 HU and 196 � 47 HU, respectively (group 2 vs 3: p<0.01). The maximum enhancement in group 1, 2 and 3 was 385 � 53 HU, 418 � 79 HU and 317 � 68 HU, respectively (group 2 vs 3: p<0.01). The mean enhancement in group 1, 2 and 3 was 321 � 42 HU, 344 � 58 HU and 263 � 53 HU, respectively (group 2 vs 3: p<0.01). Conclusion: The use of a bolus chaser following 80 cc of contrast material provides a slightly higher opacification, but not significant in the internal carotid artery and intracranial vessels. Lowering the amount of contrast material from 80 cc to 60 cc results in a significantly lower opacification of the vessel lumen, especially in the proximal internal carotid artery and intracranial vessels. The optimal strategy is 80 cc contrast material followed by 40 cc saline. Questions about this event email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Conference Paper: 16-Slice Multidetector CT Angiography of the Carotid Artery: The New Modality of Choice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: HTML The current modality of choice for the analysis of the carotid artery is ultrasound (duplex) and magnetic resonance imaging. Multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA)has proven to be a powerful tool for vessel visualization. The high spatial and temporal resolution of MDCTA allows an accurate analysis of both carotid and vertebral arteries from the aortic arch to the intracranial circulation. The potential of MDCTA can be effectively appreciated with an optimized protocol for MDCTA, which is described and explained. In addition, three-dimensional post-processing techniques are described. Images of atherosclerotic disease in the aorta, the origin of the supra-aortic arteries, the carotid bifurcation and the intracranial internal carotid arteries are shown. The advantages and pitfalls of semi-automated vessel analysis tools are demonstrated. 1.Describe an optimized multi-detector CT angiography protocol with post-processing techniques for the study of arteries of the neck. 2.Describe the image characteristics and location of atherosclerotic disease from the aorta to the intracranial circulation. 3.Describe the application of semi-automated vessel analysis tools.

text: The main theme of this novel would be something along the lines of "True beauty is on the inside and not the outside." And "accept who you are and what you look like, you can't change it" this is because there are a lot of situations of Terra being very self-conscious of herself, because of her birthmark. And throughout the book you can see that she is getting more and more confident in herself. Jacob has helped her a lot in giving her advice and not caring about what people think when they stare at her. "'Hey,' Jacob said softly. I shook my head. He placed a gentle hand on mine. Through my haired veil, I glanced at him, unprepared for his look that held so much concern. 'Don't let her bother you,' he said. 'It's hard not to,' I answered him quietly, my hands tight in my lap," Despite her having that birthmark on her face, throughout the book you can tell how strong she really is, and how beautiful she really is. The fact that she still holds it all together, despite her fractured family, controlling dad, and her anxiety about her birthmark, is true beauty and strength. "Bed, I yearned for my bed. But I halted before the mirror. My face was molting. Tears and nervous sweat had made a mess of my makeup, cutting runoff lines down my cheek." Yes, she broke down, but she went on staying happy, trying to see the good through the pain. "The awful thing was, I couldn't stop smiling at him and his cousin, my mouth embalmed in a fake grin. And that's when it hit me – where I'd seen Erik's expression before. Why it was so painfully familiar. It was the same expression Dad wore in public with Mom, sheepish and mortified rolled into one uncomfortable mass. The fact was, I was sick of it. Tired of hiding my face. Tired of apologizing for it. So I did what Jacob told me to do. Let them stare. I didn't even avert my face a single degree." This quote was right after her break down and yet she's still strong. And this just shows it.
