Blood is essential for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and other substances to tissues throughout the body. Donated blood can be lifesaving for individuals who have lost blood because of accidents or surgery, as well as for people who have become severely anemic or have dangerously low platelet counts because of certain medical conditions and/or treatments. Screening measures help to maximize safety of blood donation for the donor and the recipient.
For people who are considering donating blood, a local blood bank can describe the criteria for being a blood donor. The websites at the end of this topic also include information about eligibility criteria (see 'Where to get more information' below). People who have a pre-existing medical condition may wish to consult their own healthcare provider.
Several screening measures are used to ensure that blood donation is safe for the donor and is unlikely to have any negative health effects.
Medical history interview — All blood donors are asked questions about their medical history to help determine whether they can safely donate blood without experiencing any negative health effects [1]. During the donation, one unit of blood (approximately 500 mL, or 17 fluid ounces) is removed.
●Heart and lung disease – Potential donors are asked if they have ever had heart, lung, or blood diseases. In general, people with heart disease, heart valve conditions, irregular heartbeat, disease of the blood vessels in the brain, heart failure, and certain lung conditions are not allowed to donate blood unless this has been cleared with their healthcare provider.
●Other medical conditions – Potential donors are asked if they feel healthy and well on the day of donation.
●Seizures – People with a history of seizures can donate blood, provided they have had no seizures within a certain period of time (usually one to six months).
●Recent surgery – People who have undergone recent surgery are permitted to donate blood when healing is complete and they have resumed full activity. However, if a transfusion was given at the time of surgery, donation is not allowed for one year.
●Pregnancy – Women who are pregnant are not permitted to donate blood during pregnancy and for six weeks after the pregnancy ends.
●Age requirement – The minimum age for blood donation is 16 or 17 years, depending upon the state. When allowed, 16-year-olds must bring a signed permission form from a parent. In most cases, there is no upper age limit for donation, although approval from the donor's physician is required in some cases.
●Weight requirement – Individuals weighing less than 50 kg (110 pounds) are not permitted to donate blood. The less a donor weighs, the greater the likelihood of having a reaction, such as dizziness and fainting following donation. Although reactions to blood donation are rare, individuals weighing between 50 and 54 kg (110 and 119 pounds) are most likely to experience reactions. Most blood centers perform an additional evaluation of donors aged 16 to 18 who are just over the weight limit, which takes into account the donor's estimated blood volume, calculated from the donor's height and weight. There is no upper weight limit for donating blood, although some centers have an upper weight limit based on the size/strength of the donor phlebotomy chair.
Questions are also asked that address the safety of the transfusion for the person receiving the blood. (See 'Screening measures to protect the recipient' below.)
Medical evaluation — In addition to a medical history, donors undergo a brief physical examination before donation to check for any obvious signs of illness or conditions that would disqualify them from blood donation.
●Vital signs – The pulse, blood pressure, and temperature of a donor are checked before donation. Individuals with a fever, high blood pressure, very high or very low heart rate (with the exception of highly conditioned athletes and those on beta blocker medication), or an irregular heart beat are temporarily not permitted to donate blood.
●Blood test – A small blood sample is taken from a fingerstick and tested to check for the number of red cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. This is done to ensure that the donor is not anemic or likely to become anemic or iron deficient after they donate. Individuals with hemoglobin levels that are too low are temporarily not permitted to donate blood. (See "Patient information: Anemia caused by low iron in adults (Beyond the Basics)".)
Time interval until next donation — Donors are eligible to donate no sooner than 56 days after their previous donation. However, this minimum interval can vary, depending upon how rapidly the person's body is able to replenish its red blood cells. Some donors, especially women who have heavy menstrual periods, will not be able to donate every 56 days because their iron stores are not sufficient to replenish the lost red blood cells.
A technology called apheresis has made it possible to collect specific components of blood. Apheresis is used to selectively collect red blood cells, platelets (blood components that play an important role in clotting), plasma, and granulocytes (a type of infection-fighting white blood cell). The procedure is done in the blood center or at a blood drive and involves inserting a needle in a vein in each arm. Blood is withdrawn through one needle, passed through an apparatus that separates plasma from specific types of blood cells (platelets or red cells) and retains the desired component, and then the remainder of the blood is returned to the donor through the other needle. It takes from one to two hours.
●Red blood cells – Donors can give red blood cells by apheresis once every 16 weeks. This is less frequent than whole blood donation because a greater amount of red blood cells are collected during the apheresis procedure.
●Platelets – Donors can give platelets up to 24 times per year. Approximately 1 percent of people have a mild reaction to one of the substances (citrate) that is mixed with the blood during platelet donation; the reaction can include feelings of numbness and tingling, muscle cramping, and nausea. The reaction can be treated or prevented by taking a calcium supplement before or during the donation.
●Granulocytes – Donors of granulocytes may be given granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and/or a glucocorticoid medication called dexamethasone on the day before donation to increase the number of granulocytes in their blood. Glucocorticoids are usually not given to individuals who have diabetes, gastrointestinal ulcers, or glaucoma. The side effects of G-CSF and dexamethasone may include headache, joint pain, fatigue, insomnia, allergic reactions, and fever.
Screening of blood donors helps to ensure that the donated blood is safe for transfusion into a recipient. A variety of different measures, including self-reporting of infectious exposures and other infectious disease risk factors, and laboratory testing of the blood, are used for this screening.
●Elimination of payment for donation – Since the late 1970s, volunteer donors have been the source of all whole blood and blood components in the United States. Donors are sometimes paid for donating plasma that is used to manufacture other blood products. However, to protect the recipient, these products undergo additional treatment to kill any infectious agents that might be in the product.
Screening for infections
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) — The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes AIDS. A variety of measures are used to screen donors for HIV infection or risk factors for HIV, including questions about any signs or symptoms of HIV and behaviors that increase the risk of HIV. Such behaviors include using non-prescription intravenous (IV) drugs, having sex with a prostitute or in exchange for money or drugs, and for men, having sex with another man. Depending on your answers to these questions, you may not be allowed to donate blood, or you may need to wait for a period of time before you are eligible. In 2015, the guidelines for men who have sex with men were changed; rather than making them ineligible to donate blood indefinitely, the wait period is now at least one year from the last sexual contact with another man.
People who want to be tested for HIV or other sexually transmitted infections should not donate blood for this purpose. Even though donated blood is tested for HIV, the tests are not perfect and there is a small possibility that a person who might have been exposed to HIV could transmit the virus to a recipient if they donate blood. Free and anonymous HIV testing is available elsewhere (see www.hivtest.org).
Hepatitis — Hepatitis is an infection that causes inflammation of the liver. Blood donors are routinely screened to determine whether they have or have been exposed to hepatitis.
●People who have had viral hepatitis (A, B, or C) or hepatitis of unknown origin after their 11th birthday are permanently disqualified from donating blood.
●People who have ever had a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (a marker for hepatitis B virus infection) are permanently disqualified from donating blood. Hepatitis B vaccination may temporarily cause this test to become positive [2]. In order to avoid being disqualified as a blood donor, a person who has recently received the Hepatitis B vaccine should wait 21 days before donating blood. At that time, this test should be negative.
●People who have had sexual contact or have lived in the same dwelling (eg, house, dormitory) with someone who has hepatitis (A, B, or symptomatic hepatitis C) are disqualified for 12 months after their last exposure to that person, depending upon the particulars of the exposure.
●People who have received a blood transfusion are not permitted to donate blood for 12 months after the date of transfusion.
●In some states, people who have received a tattoo or a body piercing are not permitted to donate blood for 12 months. In other states, where these industries are carefully regulated by state law to ensure that the procedures are sterile, earlier donation may be permitted without the need for any waiting period.
Parasitic diseases — Blood donors are routinely asked questions about possible exposure to several parasitic diseases that can be transmitted by blood transfusion.
●Malaria – Transfusion-transmitted malaria is common in some parts of the world but is extremely rare in the United States. Donors who have had malaria are not permitted to donate for three years after they become free of symptoms. Travelers to regions where malaria occurs are not permitted to donate blood for one year after they leave the area, provided they have not had symptoms of malaria. Immigrants from or residents of countries where malaria is common are not permitted to donate for three years after their departure from that country. (Residency is usually defined as living in the country for at least five years.)
●Chagas disease and babesiosis – Transmission of Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) by transfusion is rare in the United States. Blood donors are asked if they have ever had Chagas disease, and most donated blood is tested for Chagas disease.
Transmission of babesiosis (a malaria-like illness spread by ticks) by transfusion is uncommon. Blood donors are asked if they have ever had this disease.
Prion diseases — Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare but fatal neurologic disease. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is a somewhat similar disease that first appeared in the United Kingdom (UK) in 1996. Affected individuals may have no symptoms of CJD or vCJD for many years. The infectious agent of both these diseases is an abnormally folded protein called a prion.
To date, there have been no reported cases of transfusion-related transmission of CJD and only four reports of probable transmission of vCJD in the UK. Despite this extremely small (vCJD) risk, donors who meet one or more of the following criteria are not allowed to donate:
●Have spent ≥3 cumulative months in the UK from 1980 to 1996, or
●Have spent ≥5 cumulative years in Europe from 1980 to present, or
●As current or former US military personnel, civilian military employees and their dependents, have lived for ≥6 months at US military bases in Northern Europe from 1980 to 1990 or elsewhere in Europe from 1980 to 1996, or
●Received a blood transfusion in the UK or France between 1980 to present, or
●Injected bovine (from cows) insulin from the UK or other countries with a history of mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy)
Bacterial infection — Bacteria can get into donated blood if a donor has a bacterial infection, if bacteria on the skin gets into the blood from the needle stick, or if there is a skin infection near the location where the blood is drawn. To reduce the likelihood of bacterial contamination of blood, the skin around the site is carefully examined and cleaned before the needle is inserted.
Donors who have a fever, who do not feel well, or who are taking oral antibiotics (except for acne) are not permitted to donate blood. These restrictions also apply to individuals who are banking blood for their own use (see 'Autologous blood donation' below).
Other medical conditions — In order to protect the recipient against non-infectious complications, the donor is evaluated for certain medical conditions before blood donation.
●Cancer – There have been no reported cases of the transmission of cancer by blood transfusion. However, because such transmission is theoretically possible, donors are screened for a history of cancer.
Donors who have had cancer of a solid organ or tissue (such as the lung, liver, breast) are permitted to donate if they have been symptom-free and cancer-free for a defined period of time, usually two to five years.
Donors who have had blood cancers (such as leukemia or lymphoma) are permanently disqualified from donating.
Donors who have had a superficial cancer that has been completely removed by surgery (such as basal cell cancer of the skin or early cervical cancer) can donate blood without any waiting period.
●Hemochromatosis – Individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis (a condition in which frequent removal of blood is the standard treatment) can donate their blood for transfusion if they meet other criteria for being a donor and if the blood bank has met certain regulations from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The acceptance of blood donations from these individuals has not been uniformly implemented, perhaps due to the costs of meeting regulations and removing financial incentives to blood donation. The FDA maintains a list of collection centers that accept these donations [3].
There is no risk of transmitting hemochromatosis to the recipient. (See "Patient information: Hemochromatosis (hereditary iron overload) (Beyond the Basics)".)
Recent vaccinations — There are strict standards for when you can donate blood after you have received a vaccination. When you go to donate blood, you will be asked if you have had any recent vaccinations. If you have, you might have to postpone your blood donation.
For some live or attenuated (weakened) viral or bacterial vaccines (measles, mumps, oral polio, oral typhoid, yellow fever), you have to wait at least two weeks before donating your blood. For rubella or varicella zoster vaccines, you have to wait four weeks.
Medications — Most medications taken by donors do not pose a risk to recipients. However, a number of drugs are known to cause birth defects and are considered during donor screening:
●Etretinate (Tegison), used for severe psoriasis
●Acitretin (Soriatane), also used for severe psoriasis
●Isotretinoin (Amnesteem, Sotret, Claravis, formerly known as Accutane), used for severe acne
●Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar), used for benign prostatic hypertrophy and hair loss
●Dutasteride (Avodart, Jalyn), usually given for prostatic enlargement
Donors who have taken isotretinoin and finasteride are asked to wait one month after the last dose before donating blood; donors who have taken dutasteride are asked to wait six months; and donors who have taken acitretin are asked to wait three years. Individuals who have taken etretinate are permanently disqualified from donating blood.
People who took aspirin or aspirin-containing medications within the previous 48 hours are allowed to donate whole blood but are not allowed to donate platelets by apheresis. People who took warfarin (Coumadin) are generally not allowed to donate blood for approximately seven days after the last dose. The reason for this is that this blood does not contain sufficient quantities of clotting factor.
Laboratory testing of donated blood — After a unit of blood has been donated, the blood is tested in a laboratory for infectious diseases that can be transmitted by blood transfusion. These include tests for HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV), West Nile virus, syphilis, and Chagas disease. (See "Patient information: West Nile virus infection (Beyond the Basics)".)
Confidential unit exclusion (CUE) — The confidential unit exclusion (CUE) process allows someone who has donated blood to confidentially indicate that his or her blood should not be given to others. This process protects individuals who feel pressured to donate in the workplace or during community blood drives. Donors are asked to place a bar code sticker on their donation form, indicating if their blood should be used. This is done after the interview, but before donation. Although this procedure was commonly used in the past, most United States blood banks no longer use it.
Registry of deferred donors — A registry of deferred donors contains names of individuals who have been disqualified from blood donation in the past. Some donors in the registry have infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B or HIV infection. Theoretically, it is possible that an individual with one of these diseases could have a positive test result at one time but negative test results at a later time.
Other donors in the registry have provided information in the past that disqualified them from blood donation. A donor's name is usually checked against this registry before and after donation. The reason for the deferral is not usually available to staff at the collection facility.
Telephone callbacks — After donating blood, donors are given a phone number so that they can call the donation center to report any factors that may affect the use of their blood or to report symptoms of infections in the first days after donating (such as symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection or gastrointestinal illness). Such reports will be evaluated, and the unit of blood may be destroyed.
Safety measures, such as improved screening tests, have dramatically reduced the risk of acquiring a viral infection from a blood transfusion. Recent estimates suggest the following risks of developing certain infections after receiving a unit of blood:
●1 in 200,000 to 1 in 360,000 for hepatitis B
●1 in 1 million to 1 in 2 million for hepatitis C
●1 in 1.5 million to 1 in 2 million for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
●1 in 2 million for human T-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus (HTLV)
In addition to the risk of infection from transfusion, other risks include the following:
●Shortness of breath due to immune/inflammatory reactions, known as transfusion-associated acute lung injury (TRALI)
●Shortness of breath due to the large volume of fluid, known as transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO)
●Allergic reactions to proteins and/or cells in the transfusion
●Immune attack of the recipient by the transfused cells, also called transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (ta-GVHD)
●Blood incompatibility, leading to destruction of the transfused cells by the recipient's immune system
●Fever due to fever-causing hormones (cytokines) in the transfusion, also called febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR)
These risks occur infrequently and are well known to clinicians; measures are taken routinely in order to minimize them further.
Autologous blood donation is when a donor donates blood for her or himself several days to six weeks ahead of a scheduled surgery, when blood might be needed. Autologous blood donation reduces the risk of most, but not all, infectious complications of blood transfusion.
Most people who donate blood do not have any complications that require medical care. The most common complications include bruising or soreness at the needle site and fatigue.
A small percentage (2 to 5 percent) of people feel faint and/or pass out before, during, or after donating blood. This is more common the first time a person donates and in people who are younger. Drinking a 16 ounce (473 mL) bottle of water before donating may reduce this risk.

Clan Wars FAQ
Lots of new information was just released regarding Clan Wars. I figured I'd put it into a FAQ of sorts that we can point people to when they have a question. Here's my summary with a link to the full source at the bottom. If you have any other questions/thoughts of something that is missing from this FAQ let me know and I will get it added.
1) How do I participate in a clan war?
Your clan will be enlisted automatically in a clan war, whether you are an active clan or not. Just by playing the game you could be participating in a clan war without even realizing it.
2) How do I earn points for my clan? Do I have to play with other clan members to earn points for the clan?
Points are earned in Clan Wars by capturing nodes. To capture a node, you must reach the target number of wins for that node. You can play individually or with clan members. Each game that a member wins gives a point to the clan for that node. Playing in a lobby with 6 members gives you 6 wins, a lobby with 2 members give you 2 wins, and a lobby with 1 member will give you 1 win (assuming you win).
Update - As of the Oahu clan war, you can now earn CP just by holding down a node. After holding the node for a specified amount of time you can earn bonus CP for each node you hold.
3) How does my team get paired up with the 7 other teams?
This is based on the skill of your team (things like K/D and W/L ratios), the size of your clan, and the amount of activity in your clan. Meaning a clan of 50 members who play 15 hours a day won't be teamed up against a clan of 50 members who play 4 hours a day. All of these are taken into consideration when determining who the 7 other teams are that you will be competing against.
4) How many members are required to be in my clan in order to participate?
You must have 3 members in your clan at the time of auto-enrollment in order to participate. You also need to have the clan configured and setup before the clan war starts as you can not get placed mid-war. Auto-enrollment is likely 12 hours before the clan war starts.
5) How do I get the exclusive Triad reticle and the patch for participating in the first Clan War?
If you did not participate int he first ever clan war, then you are not eligible for these 2 items. They were exclusive to the first ever clan war, not the first clan war that your clan participated in. Some patches are also exclusive to that war and thus you won't be able to unlock it unless you were one of the top teams in the war.
6) What are the locations in a clan war?
There are 8 teams in a clan war and 10 locations to battle it out. Each location ties directly to a game mode in the multiplayer menu. For example, 3 possible locations could be Cranked, TDM, or HC TDM. The Hardcore Game modes are separated from the core game modes. Each win in a possible location will give your clan a point for that node.
7) How do I win a clan war?
Your clan can be the top clan in a clan war by earning the most CP. You earn CP by capturing nodes.
Update as of the Oahu Clan War - You can now also earn CP by holding down nodes (hold it for 24 hours and you earn 4 CP).
8) What does my clan earn for participating in a clan war? What are the rewards/prizes?
XP Multipliers - While you hold down a location, you can get XP bonuses for all clan members playing that particular game mode. For example, if you hold down the location for Cranked, every clan member who plays cranked while holding down that location will earn 1.25 times every XP point in that game. Once you lose the location, the multiplier goes away. This multiplier applies to moshpit playlists when the specified game mode comes up as well. The actual amount of the multiplier could change for each clan war.
Clan XP - This is rewarded at the end of each Clan War to the clan for their participation in the clan war.
In-game rewards - Participating in clan wars and especially being one of the top teams in a clan war can also net you some in-game rewards such as backgrounds, patches, and reticles.
9) How long does each clan war last?
The first clan war will last 1 week and is shorter so that they can pass on any quick fixes to the system before the next one. The typical duration will be 2 weeks per clan war though each one can technically be a different duration. Expect the 2 week duration to be pretty standard.
Update - They are working through this and trying to determine the best length of time.
10) If I leave the clan do I get to keep my unlocks?
If you are part of the clan when you earn the unlock, then you get to keep it even if you leave the clan. If you join later, you will not automatically get the previous unlocks. The only exception is Patches. Those belong to the clan and thus you will lose those.
11) Does my entire team have to play one specific mode?
No, your team can play in any of the modes that correspond to locations in the war. In fact, since there are more locations than teams, it is likely going to be a good strategy to focus on a couple main modes so that you can maximize your points.
12) Will there be a delay between Clan Wars?
Right now clan wars have about a week between them. The times vary. Your best bet is to follow @Beachheadstudio on Twitter as that is how they announce the wars.
13) How does my Clan emblem get implemented into this?
If you clan controls a node on the map, then your clan emblem will appear in the node for all the competing clans to see.
14) What game modes are supported? Can I play Clan vs Clan game modes?
Any game mode that is in the Standard or Hardcore playlist should be eligible, though it must be one of the 10 modes found in the Clan War.
Clan vs Clan mode is NOT part of the Clan Wars as it is not part of the Standard or Hardcore game mode list. Even though it is still Core TDM (for example), it still won't count as it is not the normal Core TDM which is 6v6.
15) My wins don't seem to be counting. How does the scoring work?
Each node has a target number of wins that are required to capture that node. Each team's win count will be increasing at this point until someone reaches the goal. Once the node is captured, your clan earns the specified amount of CP for that node. You don't earn any more CP for that node unless you lose it and re-capture it. As of the second Clan War, you can now earn 4 CP if you hold a node for a full 24 hours.
Once a node is captured, any win for the team that is holding it earns will add to their number of wins. However, every win in that node from any clan member on the other 7 teams will deduct from the captors wins instead of adding to their own. Once the captor's win count reaches 0, everyone will start to earn wins again and now the mode is able to be re-captured. Once one clan captures it, the cycle continues to repeat.
Each node has a different CP value. Capture a node and then move on to another node to earn more CP. The more nodes you capture (or re-capture) the more CP you earn. It's okay to lose a node as you can then re-attempt to capture it.
Here's another thread which attempts to explain this: How scoring works in clan wars
Another good explanation by IW & Beachhead: Call of Duty® Clan Wars – Capturing, Defending, and Losing Nodes
Scoring Update as of Feb 3, 2014
Each capture of a node will reduce the node's CP by 2. The holding bonus will increase to 1 CP every 2 hours. Each time a hold bonus is applied, the CP for the node being held will go up by 1. The max CP for each node will be 2X the starting CP value (the value at the beginning of the war). The min CP value for each node will be 3.
16) I just got my 3rd teammate, how do I participate in the current clan war?
You need to wait till the next clan war starts as you are not able to join mid-war.
17) If I add a clan member in the middle of a clan war will their wins count?
Yes, you can add a clan member at any point and as long as they are in the clan it will count as a win for your clan.
18) Why do new members added after the clan war still count? The Roster Lock doesn't seem to be working.
At the point of roster lock all clans have their membership counted, shortly thereafter matchmaking occurs. What the roster lock does is it limits the number of players in the clan that can contribute wins; if your clan has a lock of 10 the first 10 members of the clan to score a win will contribute for the duration of the clan war regardless of when they joined.
For this reason you may well see clans with seemingly large numbers of players in a division which seems to be intended for lower clan sizes, but the same cap exists as does for all other clans.
An example to illustrate : Clan A has 20 members at the moment the roster lock is made. They then recruit 10 new guys, and kick out 5 inactive members taking them to 25 members total. When the clan is matchmade into a division they are treated as though they have 20 members, and when the clan war starts only the first 20 members to register a win are counted for the duration of the clan war.
Think of it as a roster count lock - you cannot exceed the number of contributors to your clan war performance than you had when the count was done.
This approach serves several purposes, not least of all that it doesn't leave clans who are maybe less interested, or are not actively competing in clan wars unable to recruit. Similarly clans who find members unavailable during the clan war can draft in replacements to take their place.
The term roster lock implies that recruiting is frozen, but it was decided the term was appropriate since the system used has the same overall effect.
Where can I get more info?

Drop Spindle
The development and spread of the spinning wheel about 800 years ago allowed a person to spin better and more yarn or thread could be made in a shorter amount of time. Spinning wheels varied depending on the type of fiber being spun or their country of origin. Unlike drop spindles, spinning wheels had to be purchased and took up space in a pioneer's home or wagon.
Who: People have used drop spindles since ancient times. Both American Indians and pioneers used the drop spindle. Many early American Indians used pieces of pottery for their whorls. Drop spindles are still commonly used in many developing countries.

Degrees of Coordination in Market Coupling and Counter-Trading
Cross-border trade remains a contentious issue in the restructuring of the European electricity market. This paper analyzes the cross-border trade problem through a set of models that represent different degrees of coordination both between the energy and the transmission markets and among national Transmission System Operators (TSOs). We first present a nodal price-like organization of the system, where Power Exchanges (PXs) and Transmission System Operators are integrated to operate the energy and transmission markets. This system is not implemented in Europe but its success elsewhere makes it the natural reference for the study. We then move to a more realistic representation of the European electricity market based on the so-called market coupling design where energy and transmission are operated separately by PXs and TSOs. We consider different degrees of coordination of the national TSOs' activities to assess the range of inefficiencies that the lack of integration can lead to. The paper supposes price taking agents and hence leaves aside the incentive to game the system induced by zonal systems.

Vive Moi!
Posted By Lena Kantis On 12 February, 2010 @ 07:16 In Embroidery,Inspiration | No Comments
Wow, my trip to London gave me so much more energy, and inspiration to create more fun sewing. It is amazing to see all wonderful garments in the shops in London. I have gathered a lot of new ideas, which can be great projects. The inspiration came when Karin and I was window shopping walking on Regents Street and Oxford Street. I will definitely use several ideas for my new sewing projects.
Have you seen the new HUSQVARNA VIKING® Design collection 221, Raw Edge Letters [1]? It is looking so cool, and can be sewn in several layers to make a very personalised sweater, jeans or what ever you want to add the text on. I have for some time been wondering what to write using them, and did find a nice wording on a t-shirt in London, that I liked. "Vive Moi", (I Live) and I will sew that on a garment. Vest or jeans, or t-shirt I have not yet made my decision.
Here is an example of what it can look like!
In the office we have had overlock education, and a colleague of mine; Rasmus, made a pair of sweatshirt pants. What was extra fun with the trousers was the text on the back of them; HUNK. Fun, don't you think!? You have an option to use one or two layers for the appliqués. Rasmus used one layer and where it could have been a second layer, he stitched the outline with a metallic thread.
Have fun and enjoy your sewing!
Best wishes

Beautiful area, amazing room, and service which surpassed any five star resort in the US in which I have visited. When staying in upscale hotels I admit I have high expectations as we all deserve value for our dollar.....I would struggle to put a price tag on this stay as the experience was over the top fantastic. Will be returning very soon to visit the new two bedroom pool villa (comes with private pool, butler and chef).....one bedroom only has private butler and pool. If you visit Belize and want an amazing and relaxing experience, do not miss this hotel. Private helicopter trip from Belize City is also a great add on. Food on the property is also excellent (ask to see the very nice organic garden on the property).

Help yourself while you help provide bicycles for handicapped children April 15
Published: Monday, April 2, 2007 at 11:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 2, 2007 at 12:00 p.m.
Area bicycling enthusiasts have the opportunity April 15 in Thibodaux to help disabled south Louisiana children while riding scenic local routes.
The Bayou Country Cyclists 12th annual "Cruisin The Bayou" ride begins and ends at Peltier Park, where there will be a continental breakfast beforehand and a red-beans-and-rice dinner, cold drinks, a raffle and music after.
In between, participants will travel scenic bayou backroads in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes. The routes include rest stops with water, sports drinks, fruit and snacks. Rolling support-and-gear teams will offer help to those who need it.
Money generated from registration fees will go to the McMains Children Development Center in Baton Rouge to buy bicycles designed for use by physically handicapped children. Additionally the event will be a collection point for recycling used inkjet and laser-printer cartridges and cell phones, which also will benefit McMains via the Cartridges for Kids program.
For riders, beyond promises enjoyment and the likelihood of health dividends. Depending on riders ability, stamina and ambition, they can sign up for rides of 25, 42, 62 or 100 miles. Kids can participate in a Fun Ride within the confines of Peltier Park, according to Elrin "Peanut" Fanguy, who is treasurer and a past president of Bayou Country Cyclists.
The group has around 50 active member from Terrebonne, Lafourche and Assumption parishes, Fanguy said. It holds rides each weekend based from Houma, Thibodaux or Napoleonville.
The health benefits are significant for regular participants.
Since he joined Bayou Country Cyclists about eight years ago, not long after quadruple-bypass surgery, the now-52-year-old Fanguy said he has lost more than 100 pounds.
Other club members have had similar results, he said, adding that he is not the only member to have shed 100 pounds.
"Since I started riding, I have not been in the cardiologists office," Fanguy said.
Club members ranging from very young to 78 years old cover the gamut in their level of participation, from casual to those who also belong to racing clubs.
"We call them gearheads or speedsters," Fanguy said. "Some are really dedicated. Some are seasonal. Some, like me, dont ride in the cold."
You dont need a fancy bike, either. When he joined the club, Fanguy said he had "a $56 Wal-Mart bike." He later stepped up to a $300 Raleigh and now rides a Cannondale for which he paid more than $1,000.
On April 15, the main route will depart Peltier Park and take La. 1 south from Thibodaux to Waterplant Road -- also known as the St. Charles Bypass -- and then to Schriever near St. Bridget Catholic Church, crossing to La. 311, then south to Bull Run/Brusly Road and northwest back to La. 1 and south again back to Peltier Park.
The varying ride lengths are achieved by make multiple laps of the route, Fanguy explained.
Registration begins at 7 a.m. at Peltier Park, located at 151 Peltier Park Drive in Thibodaux. Fees are $28 Saturday for adults, $10 for 13-17-year-olds and no charge for kids age 12 or less. Additional donations may be made to McMains Childrens Development Center at registration.
The 100-mile ride starts at 8 a.m., the 42- and 62-mile rides start at 8:30 a.m., the 25-mile and shorter riders begin at 9 a.m. and the Kids Fun Ride starts at 9:15 a.m.
The club advises that the event is a recreational ride and not a race. Riders are required to use an approved bicycling helmet. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult, and anyone under 18 must have a parents signature on their registration form.
You can obtain a registration form and find out more about Bayou Country Cyclists on the Web at http://bcc.homeip.net:82/bike/.
You can also contact Fanguy at 856-3743 or email@example.com or call Darrin Gargrave at Bayou City Bicycles on Bayou Gardens Boulevard in Houma at 851-3446.

Woodberry, Baltimore
Woodberry Historic District
The Woodberry neighborhood of Baltimore.
|Baltimore, Maryland
|Morling, Frank L., et al.
|Architectural style
|Italianate, Gothic Revival
|NRHP Reference #
|Added to NRHP
|December 29, 2003
Woodberry is a neighborhood located in the north-central area of Baltimore, Maryland, USA. A largely residential, middle-class area, Woodberry is a historic community bordered on the north by Cold Spring Lane, on the south by Druid Hill Park, on the west by Greenspring Avenue, and on the east by the Jones Falls Expressway and the Jones Falls. Woodberry is located within Postal Zip code 21211.[2]
Community organizations include the Concerned Citizens of Woodberry.[3]
Greenspring Trails[4] is a locally popular trail.
Television Hill[edit]
Woodberry also houses the facilities for four of Baltimore's commercial television stations, and because of its altitude, it also is the site of two large broadcasting masts. This area is also known as Television Hill (or simply TV Hill).
The highest land point in Baltimore, TV Hill is the transmitting site for four of the city's television stations and two radio stations. Three of the TV outlets, WMAR-TV (channel 2), WBAL-TV (channel 11), and WJZ-TV (channel 13)–along with radio stations WIYY (97.9 FM) and WZFT (104.3 FM)–transmit from a red-colored, tri-mast candelabra tower, which stands 997 feet (304 meters) above ground level.
Two other television stations, WBFF (channel 45), WNUV (channel 54) along with radio station WWMX (106.5 FM), transmit from a single tower just to the northeast of the candelabra; this mast stands 1,280 feet (390 meters) above ground level. A third, shorter tower also handles communications for various municipal service agencies of the City of Baltimore (e.g., police, fire, public works).
Four television stations also have their broadcasting studios located on TV Hill: WJZ-TV, located at the end of Malden Avenue and to the west of the towers; the WBAL Building (which is also home to WIYY and WBAL radio), on Hooper Avenue to the northeast; and WBFF and its duopoly partner WNUV (channel 54), which share facilities on West 41st Street, just southwest of the towers. (The WMAR-TV studios are located on York Road, at the Baltimore City/Baltimore County line.)
Housing stock[edit]
Some of the first housing situated in what is now Television Hill was built by David Caroll for his textile mill workers.[5]
Though there are the occasional apartment buildings, much of Woodberry's housing stock consists of two- and three-story rowhouses built in the early 20th century.
At the 2000 U.S. Census, there were 1,100 people residing in the neighborhood. The racial makeup of Woodberry was 72.1 percent White, 22.1 percent African American, 0.9 percent Native American, 1.4 percent Asian, 1.3 percent from other races, and 1.8 percent from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race comprised 1.8 percent of the population. 61.4 percent of occupied housing units were owner-occupied. Twelve percent of housing units were vacant.
More than 95% of those in the civilian labor force were employed, 2.5 percent were unemployed, and 39.2 percent were not in the labor force. The median household income was $36,806.[6]

Here at ActiveState, we watched with bemusement over the past week or so as the viability of Platform as a Service (PaaS) was called into question by various writers and pundits.
We are constantly seeing articles about DevOps and the goal of improving communication between Dev and IT Operations The underlying message is a good one: "lets all work together." While everyone would like to work together, in theory, the adoption of DevOps has been slower than most would like.
Last week, ActiveState released a beta version of the much anticipated Stackato v3.0. This release is a preview of what is to come later this year from the leading Enterprise Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution, Stackato by ActiveState.
Let's face it, there will be bugs...in my applications and yours. From println/echo debugging to using full-on debuggers, a developer will no doubt spend a portion of his or her time debugging applications. By now, most developers are familiar with the various debugging tools in their local development environment, but as they step towards cloud deployments, how can they achieve the same?
Stackato v3.0 Beta is now available! This is easily our biggest single release since v1.0, with many of the components rewritten, replaced, or heavily augmented—including a new Cloud Foundry v2 base and Docker for application containers.
Unless you're deeply embedded in the PaaS, OpenStack, or cloud computing industries (e.g. a vendor), you probably haven't heard of Project Solum yet.

And Tara's chances of playing it cool with a man as hot as Thorn were about as good as a snowball's in hell. But when Tara reversed roles in their game of seduction, what were the odds of Thorn--the ultimate bad boy--coming out on top?

J.R. Smith drew comparisons to Dennis Rodman this offseason — both from Knicks president Phil Jackson and Rodman himself. Now Smith may have met his version of Michael Jordan. "There are players like LeBron [James] who had great influence on players who have had, let's say, murky pasts," said TNT play-by-play man Marv Albert, who is calling the Eastern Conference finals. "Michael Jordan is the same way. When Rodman was brought to Chicago that worked out pretty well, despite some things going on off the court that were a little bit different. On the court he played as hard as anyone in the league. That's the influence of Michael.
Marv Albert Rumors
Do you miss television? Kerr: "I don't miss Marv Albert at all. Let's make that clear (laughs). You know, I loved it. I loved my job at TNT. As soon as they fire me I'll probably be back there. But I think it was the right move at the right time for me. A TV gig allowed me to raise my kids and still be part of the game. Now that my kids are older and pretty much out of the house this is the perfect time for this move. I'm really happy."
"Well, I told him it never ends well there. Just look at recent history. It's because of one man (Dolan)," Albert told me Thursday over the telephone. "There is no happiness there. I say this with all kinds of friends I have there and (the ones) at the MSG Network. Everybody hates being there. For coaches it's very difficult. Steve couldn't accept anyone (from MSG's PR staff) following him around with a tape recorder. Like Phil, Steve is a guy who wants to say what he wants to say," Albert continued. "He's very opinionated, which doesn't always work when you are at the Garden." During their conversations, Albert said Kerr asked questions, but it was clear he knew "what my whole situation at the Garden was."
Numerous reports suggest Albert was the guy who talked Kerr out of taking the Knicks job. "That's not true," Albert said. "I didn't know and I didn't want to know what was going on. Everybody was calling me, texting me looking for information. Steve, on purpose, didn't give us (the TNT crew) any details." Albert also said Kerr "talked to a lot of people about what went on in the Garden." And while the Dolan Affect was part of his decision, it was just one of a few factors we already outlined. "He was enamored by New York and Phil. It was more Phil than anything else," Albert said. "I know Steve felt bad when he said goodbye to Phil after making his decision. Steve really did check it out very carefully. To me it (his decision) was a no-brainer."
Albert, who began calling NBA action for the New York Knicks in 1967, was courtside at an NBA game that was resurrected in cyberspace Thursday — Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. At issue: Whether Chicago's Michael Jordan was suffering from food poisoning, rather than the flu, while turning in a 37-point performance. Albert, who sat courtside to call that game, says he thinks "that's very possible. It's not astonishing it wouldn't be the flu but simply another type of upset stomach. But it was one of the most incredible performances I've seen. He was sick."
Three reasons why tonight's Celtics-Nets game is an extremely big deal: 1. This is the first game Marv Albert — who was born in Brooklyn, as Marvin Aufrichtig, in 1941 — has ever called in his home borough. 2. That's big on your basic, local-boy-makes-good level. 3. That's big beyond that level, because hometowns aren't simple things. Brooklyn, for example, is where young Marv taught himself play-by-play. But Brooklyn is also the accent he spent years trying to lose. It's where his first surname, Aufrichtig, was taken away. Marv, in other words, is something more complex than Marty Markowitz. If we study the things Marv took from Brooklyn, and the things he had to leave behind, then we can see the formation of the man who will inevitably unleash a "Yes!" tonight.
For Marv, athletes are slowly being stripped of their mysticism. Marv didn't become a suck-up, the announcer who gleans a few "scoops" for a lifetime as the athlete's unofficial wingman. It's more like he made players into his co-conspirators. "Kenny Sears's stale jokes put the other players to sleep," Marv wrote in the Lincoln Log in 1957. Now, fast-forward three decades. Remember when Michael Jordan hit six first-half 3-pointers in the '92 Finals and gave that I-can't-believe-it-either shrug? It's often forgotten that the guy he was shrugging at — his co-conspirator, you might say — was the NBC announcer whom he liked so much that he'd feel hurt if he didn't get asked for an interview. The guy MJ was shrugging at was Marv.

Very convenient
By AZartiste
from Tucson, AZ
I use these cards to record food counts for the day. They are just the right size for a day's listing, and it allows me to look back a day or two for a count (calories, protein, carbs, calcium, etc.) on a leftover, so I don't have to calculate it all over again. It also reminds me of what I have eaten that day, so far. It's very easy to conveniently forget something without the list right there to remind me. When I've used up all the cards, I take them out of the PDA and put fresh ones in. Easy! If I want to keep them, I can put a rubber band around the bundle. Otherwise, I just recycle them. This method has kept my weight on target for several years.

Article: Serum soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) as a marker of acute rejection in renal transplant children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: García-Roca P, Vargas YA, Fuentes Y, Hernández AM, Ortiz L, Valverde S, Velásquez-Jones L, Romero-Navarro B, Ramón-Garcia G, Medeiros M. Serum soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) as a marker of acute rejection in renal transplant children. Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether or not serum levels of soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) predict acute rejection in pediatric recipients. We studied 51 pediatric renal transplant recipients divided into three groups: Group 1) Biopsy-proven cellular acute rejection (n = 19), Group 2) Graft dysfunction with histological diagnosis other than acute rejection (n = 8) and Group 3) Patients with stable graft function, no biopsy (n = 24). Serum samples for sIL-2R measurement by sandwich ELISA were obtained at the time of renal transplant and at the time of renal biopsy due to graft dysfunction (Groups 1 and 2) or at six months post-transplant in the case of Group 3. The mean ± s.e. serum values of sIL-2R were higher in patients during acute rejection (6539 ± 1802 pg/mL) compared to patients with other causes of graft dysfunction (2217 ± 256 pg/mL) or stable graft function at six months (2183 ± 283 pg/mL) (Kruskal–Wallis p = 0.004). When the sIL2-R levels at the time of transplant were compared to those at the time of biopsy (Groups 1 and 2) or at six months post-transplant in Group 3, there was no significant difference between baseline and biopsy in the acute rejection group (paired t-test = 0.07), whereas there was a significant reduction in Groups 2 and 3.
Article: ACCESS TO DECEASED DONOR KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The conditions under which the allocation of deceased donor organs takes place are cause for controversy. Objective. To identify the criteria for allocating deceased donor kidneys in pediatric care services in twelve countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Results. In ten surveyed countries, the waiting lists for kidney transplants in pediatrics are regional, generally for administrative reasons more than to reduce cold ischemia times. HLA matching is done and a point-score system is taken into account when selecting the ultimate recipient. In some countries, young donor (<30 years) kidneys are not always for pediatric recipients. Conclusion. There are point-score systems for allocating deceased donor organs in most Latin American and Caribbean countries, and children have priority. Guatemala and Nicaragua do not have a deceased donor program. In the case of Mexico, although there is a growing transplant structure, there is no point-score system and only some transplant groups, through their own initiative, afford priority to children. A consensus on this issue within in the Latin American transplant community is needed to provide for less subjective and fairer deceased donor kidney allocation.
Article: National Survey Carried Out by the Mexican Society of Transplantation in 2009 Regarding Deceased-Donor Kidney Allocation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Mexican Health Law stipulated that the criteria to be taken into account for deceased donor kidney allocation should include the following: "seriousness of recipient's condition, opportunity of transplant, expected benefits, compatibility with recipient, and all other accepted medical criteria." The practical application of these criteria has been perceived by several members of transplantation committees as allowing inequity in kidney allocation. The aims of this study were to learn the opinions of transplantation committees regarding current national allocation policies, and to obtain their opinions about the advantages of a point-score system.

ABSTRACT: Background. Although new immunosuppressive therapies have signifcantly improved the clinical progression of kidney transplants, acute and chronic rejection continue to limit long-term graft survival. Despite this, the aim of the study was to determine the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies class I and class II in children with acute renal graft rejection.

ABSTRACT: Anatomic and functional disorders of the lower urinary tract represent up to 40% of the causes of renal failure in children. Several centers avoid renal transplantation in these patients because of the high risk of complications and lower graft survival. The aim of this work was to determine the frequency of urinary tract abnormalities (UTAs) among our pediatric series, and to compare the frequency of complications, function, and long-term graft survival among patients without versus with UTA. This single-center, retrospective study compared outcomes between pediatric recipients with versus without UTA. We analyzed demographic features, etiology, pretransplant protocol, urinary tract rehabilitation, incidence of complications, rejection events, as well as graft function and survival. Among 328 pediatric cases performed between 1998 and 2008, we excluded nine patients due to incomplete medical records, analyzing 319 procedures in 312 patients. Sixty-seven patients (21%) had UTA. The average age, weight, and height at the time of grafting were significantly lower in the urologic group: 11.1 versus 12.6 years, 28.8 versus 34.4 kg; 125.4 versus 138.4 cm, respectively. There were significantly higher frequencies of a transperitoneal approach and vena cavae and aortic anastomoses among patients with UTA (P < .001), posing a greater technical challenge in this population. No differences in creatinine levels were observed at 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10 years: 1.3 versus 1.6 at 5 years, and 1.4 versus 1.5 at 8 years. Urologic complications, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), occurred among 80.6% of patients with UTA versus 42.1% in the non-UTA group (P < .001). UTIs appeared predominantly in patients with UTA (62.7% vs 35.3%, P < .001), representing a 2.7-fold risk compared with those children transplanted for other reasons. Rejection incidence was similar in both groups (49.8%). There was no significant difference in 5-y (89.8% vs 85%) or 10-year (83% vs 67%) graft survivals between the groups (P = .162). Our results demonstrated that with proper interdisciplinary care, graft and patient survivals of pediatric recipients with UTAs were not affected; therefore, these patients should not be rejected for transplantation.

Article: [Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis related to BK virus in a child with nephrotic syndrome. A case report].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is observed in about 10 % of children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome; this disorder is usually resistant to corticoid therapy. In the last few years, five histological types of FSGS have been recognized; the collapsing nephropathy type is characterized by a rapid evolution to chronic renal failure. a four-year-old boy presented with an irrelevant past history; eight months before admission he developed idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. He was treated with steroids without improvement, and a renal biopsy was performed in which minimal glomerular changes were found. Despite combined immunosuppressive treatment, he developed renal failure, septic shock and death. Collapsing nephropathy was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, light and electron microscopy; renal new human papovirus (BK) infection was also found in the postmortem study. collapsing nephropathy is an aggressive disorder resistant to immunosuppressive treatment, as occurred in our patient. Although some viral diseases have been associated with collapsing nephropathy, to our knowledge, BK infection has not been previously described in those patients.

ABSTRACT: Despite being considered a high risk procedure, renal transplantation has been recognized for more than 20 years as the best therapeutic option for children with endstage renal disease since it is superior than any available dialytic procedure in improving the neuropsychological development and the quality of life. Today pediatric patients have similar graft survival than adults, and 10 yearold children or less have better outcome than any other age group. These remarking results are due to the development of specialized pediatric transplant centers and research programs, improvement in the selection and preparation of donors and recipients, refinement of the surgical technique and the use of new immunossupressive drugs.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. Several treatments based on antimetabolites such as cyclophosphamide and nitrogen mustard have been used in children with nephrotic idiopathic corticoresistant syndrome (NICS). Az regards treatment with nitrogen mustard, it has been particularly recommended in children with recurring infections which do not allow the indication of prolonged treatments. Material and methods. This study reviewed the response to treatment of 10 children with NICS who received nitrogen mustard between 1988 and 1996. Results. Only 2 patients showed remission of the nephrotic syndrome: one showed partial remission and the other showed complete remission. Two patients developed severe infections (pneumonia), one of them associated with severe leukopenia. Conclusions. Treatment of children with NICS using nitrogen mustard does not offer any evident advantages as compared to other therapeutic schemes. Nephrotic idiopathic corticoresistant syndrome; nitrogen mustard in.
Article: Intravenous cyclophosphamide therapy for rapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Four patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) were studied: two idiopathic RPGN without immune complexes ond two IgA nephropathy. All of them presented cellular/fibrous crescents in 100% of the glomeruli ('crescentic' glomerulonephritis). Intravenous methylprednisolone and oral prednisone plus intravenous cyclophosphamide were given in monthly doses during three months. Significant improvement was observed in renal function of three patients, which was determinant to stop peritoneal dialysis in one of them. Two patients have normal renal function after 16 and 20 months of treatment; however, mild proteinuria remained in both and hematuria in one of them. One patient presented fibrous crescents in 75% of glomeruli and did not have clinical improvement but progressively developed terminal renal failure. We conclude from this study that aggressive immunosupressive treatment should be established at the beginning of the disease, and that intravenous cyclophosphamide might be convenient due to its therapeutic effectiviness and fewer toxic effects.

ABSTRACT: IgA nephropathy, also called Berger's disease, is characterized by recurrent gross hematuria or persistent microscopic hematuria, together with mesangial glomerular deposits of IgA found in the renal biopsy. Seven children with IgA nephropathy were studied. Most of them presented initially with recurrent macroscopic hematuria and low or moderate-grade proteinuria, without hypertension or renal function impairment. Only one patient presented with a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Four patients did not receive any treatment; one of them is in remission, one has improved and two remain with moderate proteinuria and hematuria. One patient with significant proteinuria improved after prednisone and azathioprine treatment. The patient with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis improved his renal function after oral prednisone and intravenous boluses of methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide.

ABSTRACT: Several renal and renal-related disturbances have been described in patients with AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), in adults and children as well. These are mainly electrolyte and acid-base imbalance, acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. The latter is usually steroid non-responder. The renal histopathological lesions described more commonly are minimal change, mesangial hyperplasia and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Herein, we describe a 5 year-old with AIDS, that developed nephrotic syndrome, characterized by edema, ascites, hypoalbuminemia and massive proteinuria. A percutaneous renal biopsy showed mesangial proliferation. She did not respond to a 6 week treatment with prednisone. She died with sepsis after several viral and bacterial infections.

ABSTRACT: Africanized bees are unique in their aggressive behavior, characterized by massive attacks during which the victims are injected an important amount of venom. For this reason, Africanized bees are extremely dangerous. Their venom contains biological toxic substances, mainly mellitin, phospholipases, histamine, hyaluronidase and apamin. Non-sensitized persons that survive a massive attack may develop acute renal failure, as a consequence of the severe hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis and shock. These complications may lead to acute renal tubular necrosis. Also, the clinical pattern and treatment of the acute renal failure secondary to bee stings are discussed.

ABSTRACT: The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterization by the triad of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and acute nephropathy. Herein, we present three children with HUS. The first patient, a three months old female, presented with anuria and recurrent episodes of hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia during the first two weeks of evolution. She required blood transfusion and peritoneal dialysis. She died six weeks after discharge, while having a relapse of the HUS. Her death was due to hematologic and renal complications. The second patient was a 18 months old male. This patient remains with long standing sequelae included, hypertension, proteinuria and hematuria. The renal biopsy showed histopathological sequelae of HUS. The third patient is a 18 months old female. Her evolution has been favorable, once she recovered from the acute onset. Clinical and physiopathological aspects of HUS are discussed, as well as treatment and complications. There is no specific treatment for HUS. The use of fresh frozen plasma and plasma exchange has been recently proposed. Hemolytic uremic syndrome; clinical manifestations; treatment.
