text:
Journalism best serves the common good when it focuses attention on social problems that its audience can help to solve. But establishment media outlets like the New York Times are often far less interested in the ills caused by the U.S. government than they are in the sins of distant regimes–especially those that have been designated as official enemies.
On August 23, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan released his latest report on the Iraqi oil-for-food program, which allows Iraq to exchange a limited amount of oil in return for humanitarian supplies to alleviate the devastating effects of the U.N. sanctions on Iraq's population (Note: Read the report at www.un.org/Depts/oip/ .)
But while Annan criticized both the Iraqi government and the U.S.-dominated U.N. Sanctions Committee for the program's shortcomings, only his criticisms of Iraq were featured in the New York Times headline the following day: "Do More to Aid Nourishment of Very Young, U.N. Tells Iraq" was the title of U.N. correspondent Barbara Crossette's August 24 article.
That article illustrates the Times' skewed vision of what is newsworthy. Of course, the Times has a responsibility to cover all aspects of Iraq's ongoing humanitarian crisis, including the performance of the Iraqi government in coping with U.N. sanctions. But as an American newspaper, the Times might be expected to highlight the U.S. role in Iraq's plight. For example, the U.N. secretary-general wrote in his latest report that "there has been a significant increase in the number of holds being placed [by members of the U.N. Sanctions Committee] on applications" for humanitarian supplies, "with serious implications for the implementation of the humanitarian programme." Most of these holds were placed by the United States, which dominates the Sanctions Committee.
But rather than focusing on that role, Crossette's piece mentions it only in passing: Only one paragraph of her article discusses the U.S.-led Sanctions Committee, which is criticized in the Secretary-General's report, while Iraq's shortcomings in implementing the oil-for-food program are discussed in more than a dozen paragraphs, as well as the headline.
Furthermore, Crossette tries to portray Annan's criticisms of Iraq as if they were evidence of a sinister Iraqi conspiracy to deny food and medicine to the country's children. For example, she refers to "mounting evidence that [the Iraqis] have significantly stalled at least parts of a relief program." In reality, the U.N. report is an assessment of Iraq's performance on dozens of technical issues pertaining to the complicated bureaucratic endeavor of providing food and medicine to a country of 22 million people.
Thus, while Crossette ominously quotes the U.N. report as saying that "Large quantities of essential materials remain in storage," she omits the subsequent sentence which reads: "The main explanation is the substantial decline in staff with sufficient skills to verify, transport and use the inputs ordered. The distribution rates are unlikely to improve without a programme of in-service training."
For Crossette, the secretary general's report seems to be an opportunity to score political points against Iraqi officials, who "continue to accuse the United States of being entirely responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iraqis under the sanctions." The idea that it might be more important for the New York Times to inform its readers–overwhelmingly citizens of the U.S.–of what their government could do to help prevent those thousands of deaths does not seem to have occurred to the reporter or her editors.
ACTION: Please contact the New York Times and tell them to give more coverage to the U.S. role in prolonging the humanitarian crisis in Iraq. Let the editors know that downplaying American responsibility for a situation that has killed at least 700,000–including hundreds of thousands of children–is not acceptable.

Like calcium, magnesium, acidophilus.... I don't know.... just wondering....
Do you take any supplements besides prenatal?
My iron was a little low, so I take an iron pill, and with it I take a vitamin C pill b/c that helps the body to absorb the iron better.
Last pregnancy my doctor also had me take calcium and vitamin D...but I haven't asked about those this time.

Ouch! It really hurts to look at those checkered prints at the beginning. And what is with that completely shapeless & baggy coat on look 3?
P.S. I do like some of the shoes though! And this is a very springy collection with all the bright colors.

360 Degree VR Image Viewer Controlled by Kinect
Our module for Kinect provides a simple solution for authoring gesture-based applications in Flash. Lately, we've been using it in conjunction with our other free Open Exhibits software modules. While the Kinect device itself doesn't have the necessary precision for use with every module, we have successfully paired it with our gigapixel image viewer, our VR image viewer, and with our Google Maps module.
Our free Kinect module works with Community Core Vision (CCV) software, an open source software package for computer vision. We've used this software in the past with various multitouch tables and other installations. Our Kinect module is a "directshow" source filter, a virtualized webcam device that reads data from the drivers released by OpenKinect.
The Kinect module and the others are all free and open on the Open Exhibits web. The Open Exhibits core software is free for students, educators, nonprofits, and museums. (Commercial users can download a free GestureWorks trial.) Add a $150 Kinect 3D Motion Controller and you have a very cheap and flexible authoring solution.
The cubic VR image of Uxmal was taken by Ideum back in 2005 and is part of the Traditions of the Sun project.

Richie Syrett is a singer/songwriter whose typically melodic and ragged style makes a grateful nod to a number of rootsy influences whilst all the time maintaining it's own signature sound.
After a collection of ramshackle recordings developed an appreciative audience, Richie independently released his first album. The record swiftly attracted an impressive number of new listeners and fans across all ages; stretching from the nearby murky waters of the Manchester Ship Canal to the muddy banks of the Mississippi and beyond.
Recorded on a shoestring once more, the new album Good Morning Midnight showcases an emerging and maturing songsmith whose novel writing explores a whole range of themes. Be them songs that are inspired by the extraordinary, the mundane, the sacred or the profane, all provide a perfect platform for one very distinctive vocal.
Make your own comparisons and draw your own conclusions but be sure to take note of an upcoming artist fast approaching their prime.

Preventing a great barrier disaster
Intrepid provides travellers with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The Reef is one of the most inspiring places on earth, which makes it even harder to believe that a place as beautiful and precious as the Great Barrier Reef is currently under threat due to the ever-expanding coal export industry.
Current plans to build a series of coal mega mines running the length of the Great Barrier Reef not only spell disaster for this fragile ecosystem, but also for the global climate as a whole.
Rocking Australia's red centre
Holidaying in Australia's Red Centre you'll quickly discover why this region is unique. Within 24 hours that famous massive monolith and the Indigenous people who have been the local custodians for around 40,000 years left a lasting impression on Intrepid's Chimene Barrett…
"Travelling down the highway we spot a massive rock formation, orange and dominating. We're sure it must be Uluru, but our local leader lets us know it's Mt Connor. A beautiful sight in itself, but you can see where it gets the nickname Fooluru. My first day out of Alice Springs and my shoes are already covered in red dust. I am so excited to finally get to walk around the base of Uluru!
national recognition for the kimberley
The West Kimberley region has just joined an exclusive club of iconic, well-loved places in Australia, including Bondi Beach, the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru. The Australian government has announced that the West Kimberley, in Western Australia's far north, will be awarded National Heritage Listing!
Congratulations to our friends at the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) who, along with other environmental and cultural groups, have run a passionate campaign to help protect this region. "Formal recognition of the importance to the nation of the West Kimberley's natural and cultural values confirms what many in the region and elsewhere already know – that this is a very special part of Australia that is too precious to lose to industrialisation," said ACF CEO Don Henry.
why the kimberley needs protection
Western Australia's magnificent Kimberley is an ancient world of indigenous culture, unique flora and fauna and spectacular landscapes virtually unchanged since prehistoric times, yet this region is currently under threat. Intrepid's Eliza Anderson explains why we need to act now…
"It's said of the Kimberley, that once the red dirt has coloured the soles of your feet you are forever connected to this precious part of Australia. Having just spent four days exploring the Kimberley with Don Henry, Australian Conservation Foundation's CEO, and traditional owners, Dillon Andrews and Anne Poelina, I can appreciate the truth in this saying.
tasmania is tops
If you could win the trip of your dreams in Australia would you choose to touch the tip of Australia at Cape York, learn about the legends of the Bungle Bungles from Aboriginal hosts, or like Express reader Susan Edwards, is Tasmania on the top of your list?…
"I couldn't believe it when my name was drawn out of the barrel and I'd won two tickets to anywhere in Australia! I didn't even have to think twice about where I would go, because for years I've been desperate to explore Tasmania.
bundaberg is beaut!
Sometimes we scour the world to find out favourite spots, but as Intrepid Express reader Annaleise Byrd reflects, one of the best places she knows was close to home in Queensland, Australia…
"Bundaberg, affectionately known as "Bundy" by the locals, is sunny, friendly and laid-back. I lived there for four years and have many happy memories of barbeques, bonfires, beach sports, the Air Show, and the legendary ginger beer. The only hill in the whole area is "The Hummock", an extinct volcano from the top of which there is a beautiful view of the surrounding farms, a smattering of small communities, and the sparkling Queensland coastline.
taking a dip in the top end
Aussies are great swimmers and they're so obsessed with water sports that they even invented Speedo swimwear and their own overarm stroke, now known famously as the Australian Crawl! But for visitors like Caroline Kehoe, taking the plunge Down Under can be a challenge…
"Now, being Irish and born on an island, you might expect that I would at some stage master the art of swimming. Well, not me. I was still terrified of it at this stage! Thing is… fear can hold you back from amazing experiences… which is why I opted for the canoeing trip along the Katherine River!
any time is the best in tasmania
Casey Wallen has explored many regions in Australia, but until recently one state was still to be crossed off her list. At last she has made it to Tasmania and it turns out it was such a fantastic adventure that she's already planned her next visit…
"We spent 2 days at Cradle Mountain in August (a winter month in Australia) because I wanted to see the iconic mountain dusted with snow. The National Park is ringed with many walking trails that traverse the peaks and valleys. Some of the trails are quite moderate in difficulty but some are very easy – such as the Dove Lake walk that circumnavigates the lake at the base of the Mountain. It is relatively flat the entire way around.
tasmania's tasty treats
Until recently, Tasmania's biggest claim to fame was inspiring the folks at Disney to turn the Tassie Devil into a cartoon character. But this small island in the far south of Australia is in the throes of a revolution: a food revolution that is, as Intrepid's Cassie Harrex explains…
"With world-class wines, some of the country's best cheeses and a whole host of organic vegetables on offer, anyone who loves their food can't afford to leave Tasmania off their must-see Australia list.
For a long time I underappreciated Tasmania. Growing up in the foothills of Cradle Mountain, I felt as far away from the rest of the world as possible. As soon as I was old enough to get out I did, but my newfound freedom left me longing for my home state where the air was cleaner, the people were friendlier and the food (unless you wanted a mango or anything remotely 'exotic') was always fresh.
lake eyre is lapping it up!
It's been a long time between drinks for this part of Australia, so this week's top trip is an exciting new 4-day adventure that soaks up the spirit of the […]

What is so special about the pope? I'm not catholic so hopefully someone on here can answer this for me.
He is the head of the Catholic Church.
Pretty much.
1,000,000,000 roman catholics view him as their spiritual leader.

a lot of protestants might not agree that this is a good thing.
you might be right. i think the proddies embrace a personal experience with the divine, instead of going through a priest. on the other hand, with one big church, like the RCs have, there's a lot more uniformity in doctrine. they don't have crackpots like the Rev Fred Phelps rolling their own theology
He is the leader of the oldest & largest christian religion in the world. Additionally, as with many other priests, but perhaps more so...he has to live his life very differently than the rest of us. He is constantly being watched by hundreds of church officials and the masses. So it can be said that he has given the remainder of his life utterly to God, which affords more respect from Catholic followers.
Wait, Christ wasn't a Christian?
I am, he is supposed to be the successor of saint peter and a human bridge between humans and god, don't you go to the Vatican to accuse me but i don't believe that
head of catholic community
Tradition holds that the Pope is the direct spiritual descendant of St. Peter, the "first Pope."
Most Catholics are taught that the pope is infallible.
He is the GRAND POOBAH of Catholicism
The pope is the head of the Catholic Church. There's been a Pope since biblical times.

Beginning of the line of popes:

1.St. Peter (32-67) [the apostle in the bible]

2.St. Linus (67-76)

3.St. Anacletus (Cletus) (76-88)

4.St. Clement I (88-97)

5.St. Evaristus (97-105)

6.St. Alexander I (105-115)

etc. to today.

The Pope's headship separates the church Jesus founded from groups that have left it (like Protest-ants who got their name for protesting against Catholic teachings.).
Small problem. Historical evidence impugns such a claim: http://bit.ly/14lNVXo
He's the head of a well organized criminal like empire.
Not a damn thing. All organized religion is complete bull$hit. They're just in it for the tax breaks. Check out George Carlin's bit on YouTube called Religion is Bull$hit.
you are cute
He went to college and has a doctorate in philosophy and ethics.
Who cares. Some old guy stepped off the pedestal before he kicked it. TA DA...
he's hot idk what he looks like

That Ouroburous is going to have one hell of a time trying to swallow its tail.
My silly comment aside, I think this is a great piece. The scales have a burnished gleam to them and I like the green venom gland - if that's what it is - and the bulging quality to it.
On the other hand, the snake resembles the Hydra or Orochi rather than the Ouroburos, but it's totally up to the commissioner to call it what he wants. I'd call it 'Daisy' if it were me haha

The creator of the character had explained earlier that the name refers to a physical attack maneuver where the cobra head bites on the tail and rolls towards his opponent. This character was originally designed for a fighting game, you see. I'll ask if he wants the name changed to Daisy, tho. ; )

The centennial of the Great War that began with the Guns of August 1914. The 75th anniversary of the Danzig crisis that led to Hitler's invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939. The 70th anniversary of D-Day.
In America, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And this week marks the 40th anniversary of the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
Once again, aging liberals will walk the children through the tale of that triumph of American democracy when they helped to save our republic from the greatest menace to the Constitution in all of history.
Missing from the retelling will be the astonishing achievements of that most maligned of statesmen in the 20th century. And as this writer was at Nixon's side for more than eight years before that August day in 1974, let me recount a few.
When Nixon took the oath in January 1969, more than 500,000 U.S. soldiers were in Vietnam or on the way, and U.S. casualties were running at 200 to 300 American dead every week.
Liberalism's best and brightest had marched us into an Asian war they could not win or end. Yet by the end of Nixon's first term, all U.S. forces and POWs were home or on the way, and every provincial capital was in Saigon's hands.
Nixon had promised to end the war with honor. He had done so.
Moreover, he had negotiated with Moscow the greatest arms control treaty since the Washington Naval Agreement of 1921-22: SALT I, setting limits on long-range ballistic missiles, and the ABM Treaty.
Nixon had gone to China and brought that enormous nation, then in the madness of its Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, out of its angry isolation.
He would rescue Israel in the Yom Kippur War at her moment of maximum peril, with a massive U.S. airlift and warning to the Soviet Union of Leonid Brezhnev not to intervene as Moscow appeared about to do.
At that war's end, Nixon would pull Egypt out of the Soviet Bloc into America's orbit, where Anwar Sadat would later negotiate a peace with Menachem Begin.
Golda Meir called Richard Nixon the best friend Israel ever had.
Though he took office with both houses of Congress against him and the media loathing him, Nixon ended the draft as he had promised, created the successful all-volunteer Army, and extended the vote to all 18-, 19- and 20-year-old Americans.
When he took office, only 10 percent of Southern schools were desegregated. When Nixon left, the figure was 70 percent.

The new workforce bill will make it easier for community colleges to teach basic skills and job skills at the same time. Federal rules have required high school dropouts to catch up academically before starting job training.
Feds will fund adult ed, job training mix
Fifth who drop out face tougher GED
High school graduation rates are up to 80 percent, writes Terry Salinger on The Quick and the Ed. But the 20 percent who don't earn a diploma face a much tougher — and more expensive — GED.
The General Education Development test (or GED) "now requires a new level of help that too few studying for the GED can get."
The old test was a pencil and paper affair that took eight hours. The new one, the first update in more than a decade, streams in online and takes a couple of hours less. The old GED had familiar item types, like multiple choice and essays. The new one has new names: hot spot (graphic images with virtual "sensors" to plot coordinates or create models), drop-and-drag, short and long writing tasks, and cloze items (fill in the missing word).
Like the old one, the new GED assesses test-takers' content knowledge but it also emphasizes their ability to reason in mathematics and language arts and to analyze and write about primary and secondary documents in social studies.
The new GED is aligned with Common Core standards, which are supposed to measure college readiness. (Career readiness too, but that's an afterthought.) That sets the bar very high.
At $120, the new GED costs about twice as much.
Adult learners "need systematic, intensive, and sustained instruction by teachers with adult-learning expertise," writes Salinger. But there's a shortage of adult-learning teachers, classes — and dollars.
Adult charter schools offer one promising way to help more adult learners. Some of the 11 adult charter schools in Washington, DC, combine English language instruction with GED content. Two have child-development centers attached, so adult learners have close-by daycare and those aspiring to childcare careers can get some experience under their belts. In a few others, like Indianapolis and Austin, adult charter schools link to local career-training programs and colleges.
These programs offer "wraparound" social support needed by low-income students, Salinger adds. But few GED students get this kind of help.
If community colleges start turning away low achievers, there will be even more demand for adult learning centers for the 20 percent. And for the high school graduates who never really mastered high school skills.
Remedial reforms face resistance
Community colleges are reforming — or abolishing — remedial education, but some think remedial reforms have gone too far. They fear many students will be placed in college-level courses they can't handle, while the least-prepared will be shut out of college programs and sent to adult ed.
A Pennsylvania community college has persuaded a local high school to teach the college's remedial math and English courses to 12th graders. Ninety-two percent of the high school's community college-bound graduates place into remedial reading and 100 percent place into remedial math, often at the lowest levels.
Lexington: Fix adult ESL
Adult classes in English aren't helping immigrants (and some native-born English Language Learners) very much, concludes a Lexington Institute report. It's believed only 40 percent of adult ESL improve their proficiency level.
While most adult ESL is taught at community colleges and school district adult education programs, Lexington advocates more flexible approaches being developed by community organizations, adult charter schools and employers.
For example, Los Angeles-based PUENTE Learning Center uses blended learning to individualize instruction and track student progress toward proficiency. The result is consistently lower drop-out rates and proficiency improvements than the national average. In one year (2005), fully 85% of learners advanced in proficiency compared to the national average of 40%.
Carlos Rosario International Public Charter School in Washington, DC is another example of a community-based program achieving strong results.
In addition, federal, state and local policymakers should gather "rigorous and useful data" and reward programs that accelerate language learning, Lexington recommends.
I'd bet more immigrants are going online to improve their English fluency. USA Learns, which is funded by the U.S. and California Education Departments, is free.
Ready or not, students get college aid
Pell Grant recipients, who come from lower-income families, often start college in remedial classes and drop out before earning a degree. Requiring evidence of college readiness, such as SAT scores of at least 850 (verbal and math) and a 2.5 grade point average in high school, would boost success rates, but limit access.
California leads the nation in poorly educated adults and in low-income workers, not a coincidence. Should community colleges take over adult education?
CC remediation rate hits 80% in NYC
The remediation rate was nearly 80 percent for graduates of New York City public high schools who enrolled in community college last year.
California may shift control of adult education from K-12 districts to community colleges.
CC instructors tie bonuses to performance
Part-time adult education instructors at City Colleges of Chicago have agreed to link bonuses to student achievement. That just doesn't happen at the college level.
The great remedial pushdown
State universities are pushing remedial classes to community colleges, and some community colleges are pushing low-level remediation to adult ed programs, I write in U.S. News.
More schooling doesn't always mean more $
A college degree is the "gateway to the middle class," but more education doesn't always mean more money.
Also on Community College Spotlight: Redesigning adult ed to combine basic skills with job training.
'We can't do everything'
We can't do everything, writes the chancellor of Pima Community College. In the future, low-level remedial students will be referred to adult education.
Also on Community College Spotlight: To help low-income students succeed in college, listen to students.

Health Effects of Garlic - Article
ABSTRACT: Garlic has long been used medicinally, most recently for its cardiovascular, antineoplastic, and antimicrobial properties. Sulfur compounds, including allicin, appear to be the active components in the root bulb of the garlic plant. Studies show significant but modest lipid-lowering effects and antiplatelet activity. Significant blood pressure reduction is not consistently noted. There is some evidence for antineoplastic activity and insufficient evidence for clinical antimicrobial activity. Side effects generally are mild and uncommon. Garlic appears to have no effect on drug metabolism, but patients taking anticoagulants should be cautious. It seems prudent to stop taking high dosages of garlic seven to 10 days before surgery because garlic can prolong bleeding time.
Chronic Kidney Disease: Prevention and Treatment of Common Complications - Article
ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Because of the important role the kidneys play in maintaining homeostasis, chronic kidney disease can affect almost every body system. Early recognition and intervention are essential to slowing disease progression, maintaining quality of life, and improving outcomes. Family physicians have the opportunity to screen at-risk patients, identify affected patients, and ameliorate the impact of chronic kidney disease by initiating early therapy and monitoring disease progression. Aggressive blood pressure control, with a goal of 130/80 mm Hg or less, is recommended in patients with chronic kidney disease. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-II receptor antagonists are most effective because of their unique ability to decrease proteinuria. Hyperglycemia should be treated; the goal is an AIC concentration below 7 percent. In patients with dyslipidemia, statin therapy is appropriate to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Anemia should be treated, with a target hemoglobin concentration of 11 to 12 g per dL (110 to 120 g per L). Hyperparathyroid disease requires dietary phosphate restrictions, antacid use, and vitamin D supplementation; if medical therapy fails, referral for surgery is necessary. Counseling on adequate nutrition should be provided, and smoking cessation must be encouraged at each office visit.
Management of Hypertension in Older Persons - Article
ABSTRACT: Antihypertensive therapy has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in older patients with elevated systolic or diastolic blood pressures. This benefit appears to persist in patients older than 80 years, but less than one third of older patients have adequate blood pressure control. Systolic blood pressure is the most important predictor of cardiovascular disease. Blood pressure measurement in older persons should include an evaluation for orthostatic hypotension. Low-dose thiazide diuretics remain first-line therapy for older patients. Beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers are second-line medications that should be selected based on comorbidities and risk factors.
Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in Elderly Patients - Article
ABSTRACT: Coronary heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality in the United States, with 84 percent of persons 65 years or older dying from this disease. Secondary preventive measures, including lifestyle modification and pharmacotherapy, are important for elderly patients because of the variable impacts on morbidity and mortality rates and quality of life. Participating in light to moderate activities significantly decreases mortality rates in elderly patients. Smoking cessation translates into a reduction in overall mortality and morbidity rates at least equal to that of other preventive measures such as aspirin or beta-blocker therapy. Recent studies on the effects of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels to below 100 mg per dL have shown a substantial reduction in coronary heart disease mortality and nonfatal myocardial infarction rates, with a persistent effect in patients older than 75 years. Hypertension, manifesting mostly as isolated systolic blood pressure elevation, also should be treated aggressively. Conventional medical therapies for hypertension (e.g., diuretics, beta blockers) and newer agents (e.g., calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors), together with sodium restriction, have had a positive effect on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity rates in older patients. With the increasing prevalence of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, interventions targeting weight reduction and glucose control should be emphasized. Whereas weight-loss strategies are poorly defined in this population, the management of diabetes through dietary modification, exercise, and medications is similar across age groups. The target hemoglobin A1C level is less than 7 percent. Elderly patients are prone to depression and social isolation, and they are more likely to have a lower socioeconomic status than younger patients, which may negatively affect participation in rehabilitation programs and compliance with medical advice and therapy. Strategies aimed at these factors have shown variable results and remain ill-defined.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm - Article
ABSTRACT: Most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are asymptomatic, not detectable on physical examination, and silent until discovered during radiologic testing for other reasons. Tobacco use, hypertension, a family history of AAA, and male sex are clinical risk factors for the development of an aneurysm. Ultrasound, the preferred method of screening, is cost-effective in high-risk patients. Repair is indicated when the aneurysm becomes greater than 5.5 cm in diameter or grows more than 0.6 to 0.8 cm per year. Asymptomatic patients with an AAA should be medically optimized before repair, including institution of beta blockade. Symptomatic aneurysms present with back, abdominal, buttock, groin, testicular, or leg pain and require urgent surgical attention. Rupture of an AAA involves complete loss of aortic wall integrity and is a surgical emergency requiring immediate repair. The mortality rate approaches 90 percent if rupture occurs outside the hospital. Although open surgical repair has been performed safely, an endovascular approach is used in select patients if the aortic and iliac anatomy are amenable. Two large randomized controlled trials did not find any improvement in mortality rate or morbidity with this approach compared with conventional open surgical repair.
Update on Exercise Stress Testing - Article
ABSTRACT: Exercise stress testing is an important diagnostic tool for the evaluation of suspected or known cardiac disease. In 2002, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) revised their guidelines for exercise testing. Ten categories from the ACC/ AHA 1997 guidelines were modified: ST heart rate adjustment, unstable angina, older patients, acute coronary syndromes, chest pain centers, acute myocardial infarction, asymptomatic patients, valvular heart disease, rhythm disturbances, and hypertension. Adjustment of the ST heart rate can identify myocardial ischemia in asymptomatic patients with elevated cardiac risk. Intermediate- and low-risk patients with unstable angina, acute coronary syndromes, or chest pain should undergo exercise stress testing when clinically stable. Provided they are stable, patients who have had acute myocardial infarction can undergo a submaximal exercise test before discharge or a symptom-limited exercise stress test any time after two to three weeks have elapsed. In asymptomatic patients with cardiac risk factors, the exercise stress test may provide valuable prognostic information. Aortic regurgitation is the only valvular heart disorder in which there is significant evidence that exercise stress testing is useful in management decisions. The stress test also can be used in older patients to identify the presence of coronary artery disease. However, because of other comorbidities, a pharmacologic stress test may be necessary. Exercise stress testing can help physicians successfully evaluate arrhythmia in patients with syncope. The exercise stress test also can help identify patients at risk of developing hypertension if they show an abnormal hypertensive response to exercise.
Nonpharmacologic Strategies for Managing Hypertension - Article
ABSTRACT: The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends lifestyle modification for all patients with hypertension or prehypertension. Modifications include reducing dietary sodium to less than 2.4 g per day; increasing exercise to at least 30 minutes per day, four days per week; limiting alcohol consumption to two drinks or less per day for men and one drink or less per day for women; following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension eating plan (high in fruits, vegetables, potassium, calcium, and magnesium; low in fat and salt); and achieving a weight loss goal of 10 lb (4.5 kg) or more. Alternative treatments such as vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids have been suggested for managing hypertension, but evidence for their effectiveness is lacking.
Hypertension in Children and Adolescents - Article
ABSTRACT: The development of a national database on normative blood pressure levels throughout childhood has contributed to the recognition of elevated blood pressure in children and adolescents. The epidemic of childhood obesity, the risk of developing left ventricular hypertrophy, and evidence of the early development of atherosclerosis in children would make the detection of and intervention in childhood hypertension important to reduce long-term health risks; however, supporting data are lacking. Secondary hypertension is more common in preadolescent children, with most cases caused by renal disease. Primary or essential hypertension is more common in adolescents and has multiple risk factors, including obesity and a family history of hypertension. Evaluation involves a thorough history and physical examination, laboratory tests, and specialized studies. Management is multifaceted. Nonpharmacologic treatments include weight reduction, exercise, and dietary modifications. Recommendations for pharmacologic treatment are based on symptomatic hypertension, evidence of end-organ damage, stage 2 hypertension, stage 1 hypertension unresponsive to lifestyle modifications, and hypertension with diabetes mellitus.
Home Monitoring of Glucose and Blood Pressure - Article
ABSTRACT: Home monitoring of blood glucose and blood pressure levels can provide patients and physicians with valuable information in the management of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Home monitoring allows patients to play an active role in their care and may improve treatment adherence and clinical outcomes. Glucose meters currently on the market produce results within 15 percent of serum blood glucose readings and offer a variety of features. Although the data are somewhat conflicting, home glucose monitoring has been associated with improved glycemic control and reduced long-term complications from diabetes. These effects are more pronounced in patients who take insulin. Home blood pressure values predict target organ damage and cardiovascular outcomes better than values obtained in the office. Home blood pressure measurements are also effective at detecting borderline hypertension and monitoring the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs. Validated arm cuffs are the preferred blood pressure devices for home use. Information from home monitoring should always be used in conjunction with that from regular office visits and other data to make appropriate therapeutic decisions.
Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy - Article
ABSTRACT: The National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Pregnancy has defined four categories of hypertension in pregnancy: chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension. A maternal blood pressure measurement of 140/90 mm Hg or greater on two occasions before 20 weeks of gestation indicates chronic hypertension. Pharmacologic treatment is needed to prevent maternal end-organ damage from severely elevated blood pressure (150 to 180/100 to 110 mm Hg); treatment of mild to moderate chronic hypertension does not improve neonatal outcomes or prevent superimposed preeclampsia. Gestational hypertension is a provisional diagnosis for women with new-onset, nonproteinuric hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation; many of these women are eventually diagnosed with preeclampsia or chronic hypertension. Preeclampsia is the development of new-onset hypertension with proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Adverse pregnancy outcomes related to severe preeclampsia are caused primarily by the need for preterm delivery. HELLP (i.e., hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome is a form of severe preeclampsia with high rates of neonatal and maternal morbidity. Magnesium sulfate is the drug of choice to prevent and treat eclampsia. The use of magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis in women with mild preeclampsia is controversial because of the low incidence of seizures in this population.
