Topic: Odor control
Fact Sheet: Chlorophyllin: Is it Effective Odor Control?107
Odor is what informs those around you that you have a problem with your bowel or bladder control. It causes a great deal of distress. This was also the case with patients with colostomies before good stoma appliances became available, which was about thirty to thirty-five years ago. Since the output could not be directly controlled, attention was turned to control of the odor. There were several ways in which odor was addressed – changes in diet and medication. The medications used were charcoal in various forms, which is still used commonly today, and a product that is seldom seen today, chlorophyllin.
Fact Sheet: Controlling Intestinal Gas155

Passing gas is normal; nevertheless, it can be embarrassing or cause discomfort. A review of causes, treatments, and tips on controlling gas.Topics: Diet, Foods, Gas, Bloating, Belching, Odor control

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

A southwestern Idaho company is recalling 33,500 pounds of fully cooked meat and poultry products because of possible bacterial contamination.
The United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Saturday that Boise-based B and D Foods is recalling a variety of meat products that could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
Five different products containing beef, pork or chicken are being recalled. California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Montana, Arizona and Ohio have received some of the products.
The agency says the problem was discovered by the company through microbiological testing. The agency says no illnesses have been reported.

A vacant seat on the Pit County School Board has been filled, and the man who won the job says he's ready to hit the ground running.
The Pitt County Board of Education appointed Robert Moore to fill the district 1 vacancy. At Monday night's meeting, the board interviewed three different candidates before unanimously voting in Moore's favor. Moore had 2 daughters graduate from J.H. Rose, and currently works at the Sara Lee corporation in Edgecombe County. He says he'll retire from that position in May, but prefers to call it "a career transition" into his position with Pitt County.

East Los Santos is a large district in the east of Los Santos, hence the name. It is based on the real life district of East Los Angeles and the district is controlled by the Ballas gang. East Los Santos has, prior to early 1992, had areas controlled by the Los Santos Vagos and the Grove Street Families. There are two known residents of East Los Santos: Freddy and Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris, who moves to East Los Santos from Idlewood. East Los Santos is a predominantly Mexican/hispanic neighborhood (despite being controlled by the Ballas) and has many Mexican-themed stores. In 1992, East Los Santos had a population of 403.
East Los Santos has a high crime rate. Prostitutes, gang bangers and drug dealers can often be found in the area causing disturbance.
East Los Santos is largely residential but does have some popular small-time businesses and zones. The area consists of many small, single-family houses, apartments and housing projects, The Pig Pen strip club, a car wash, an underground carpark, a basketball court and a Cluckin' Bell restaurant. A landmark known as the Jefferson Towers are also located in the official zone of East Los Santos despite being more associated with Jefferson.
Events of GTA San Andreas
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, East Los Santos is a stronghold for the Ballas gang, who use the area as a base to launch attacks on Grove Street Family gang members in Ganton. Conflict between the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos gangs does not occur in East Los Santos, due to the two gangs co-operating with each. Carl Johnson and Denise Robinson meet in East Los Santos during the mission Burning Desire. Carl had set on fire some homes owned by the Los Santos Vagos, however Carl rescued Denise from the fire after hearing her cries for help.
East Los Santos is also the main setting for the final mission of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: End of the Line. During this mission, Carl Johnson fights his way past Ballas, Los Santos Vagos, San Fierro Rifa and Russian Mafia gang members in order to reach Big Smoke, who he then kills. Frank Tenpenny then sets Smoke's Crack Palace on fire, leaving Carl having to fight his way back out of the building whilst also combating the flames. After escaping the building, which suffers a series of explosions as Carl escapes, Carl and Sweet Johnson chase Tenpenny through Ganton and other districts.

What are your memories of Mike Cuellar?
There's something about growing up as a fan of a successful team.
The guys you never saw play still seem like your heroes, youthful legends trapped in time.
I don't remember seeing any baseball until 1976 or so. But those Orioles' World Championship teams in 1966 and 1970 still seem like part of my history. Because they were my dad's favorites and my brothers' and I heard all about them.
My sisters and I were more aligned to the 1979-83 clubs. But I never discounted those older teams – or my father would quickly explain what real baseball was, when pitchers finished what they started and sluggers played the field and yadda yadda yadda.
The point is I never saw Mike Cuellar pitch – or Dave McNally or Pat Dobson – but I know the history, I know how important Cuellar, who died Friday of stomach cancer, was to the franchise. I met Cuellar a couple times in the past few years while doing my job. Brief, friendly encounters, nothing too memorable.
Still, when an Orioles' great passes on, it strikes a chord in all of us who once followed the team. Even for those of us who have moved past the fan stage and now follow the team to make ends meet.
The lights are low in this place tonight. The Orioles title flag behind the bar is at half mast. Salsa music is playing softly in the background. Raise your glass.
Here's to Mike Cuellar and his screwball. And to the memories he provided a generation – and then some – of Orioles fans.

Cliff Lee Yankees' Daddy
Cliff Lee is the Yankees' daddy.
The southpaw was simply spectacular in Game 1: nine innings, 122 pitches -80 for strikes- and just 32 batters faced, a mere five more than the minimum 27.
Lee's been a Yankees killer throughout his career, too. The Bombers entered the game batting a meek .197 all-time against the left-hander, and it showed Wednesday night.
The lone Yankee exception is Derek Jeter who's found some measure of career success against Lee batting 11-for-27 entering Game 1 of the World Series.
Jeter, in fact, improved on his mark with three hits, two singles and a double, not that it mattered much on the scoreboard.
It's likely Lee gets two more starts in the series. And if the Yanks can't figure Lee out in at least one of those starts, Philadelphia repeats as world champions with Lee earning the series MVP Award.
Who's your daddy now New York!

"(1) In 1998, Congress enacted the Olympic and Amateur Sports Act Amendments of 1998 (33 [36] U.S.C. 101 note) [see Short Title of 1998 Amendment note set out under section 101 of Title 36, Patriotic and National Observances, Ceremonies, and Organizations], which amended chapter 2205 of title 36, United States Code, and included a statement that the purpose of the Act was 'to encourage and provide assistance to amateur athletic programs and competition for amateur athletes with disabilities, including, where feasible, the expansion of opportunities for meaningful participation by such amateur athletes in programs of athletic competition for able-bodied amateur athletes'.

"(5) The Paralympic Program has a significant positive effect on the quality of life of disabled veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces who participate in the program, including helping to improve the mobility, vitality, and physical, psychological, and social well-being of such participants and reducing the incidence of secondary medical conditions in those participants.
"(6) Because of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, the number of disabled veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces has increased substantially and it is therefore desirable to supplement the rehabilitation and recreation programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs through sports for disabled veterans and members of the Armed Forces.
"(b) Purpose.—The purposes of this title [enacting this section, section 521A of this title, and provisions set out as notes under section 521A of this title] are as follows:
"(1) To promote the lifelong health of disabled veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces through regular participation in physical activity and sports.
"(2) To enhance the recreation activities provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs by promoting disabled sports from the local level through elite levels and by creating partnerships among organizations specializing in supporting, training, and promoting programs for disabled veterans.
"(3) To provide training and support to national and local organizations to provide Paralympic sports training to disabled veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces in their own communities.
"(4) To provide support to the United States Paralympics, Inc., to increase the participation of disabled veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces in sports."

New York, NY (Sports Network) - With its offense struggling, Georgetown's
defense clamped down and helped the Hoyas avoid their worst Big East start in
13 years.
Otto Porter tallied 19 points and 14 rebounds in the 19th-ranked Hoyas' 67-51
rout of St. John's.
Georgetown (11-3, 1-2 Big East) hadn't begun 0-3 in the conference since 2000.
After being held to fewer than 50 points in its first two Big East tilts and
coming off a 73-45 defeat at home to Pittsburgh, Georgetown turned to its
defense and held the leading scorer in the Big East, D'Angelo Harrison, in
Coming in averaging 21.5 points per game, Harrison was limited to just seven
points on 3-of-12 shooting from the floor. St. John's (9-7, 1-3) was stifled
to a 35.6 percent clip (21-of-59) from the field.

IMHO, Toshiba, if they aren't already doing this, should look at packaging this up with a battery and bluetooth (or WiFi) (maybe a bit of memory) and write an app so any iPhone, iPod Touch or Android device can use it tethered.
And also make a waterproof case for it like the GoPro cameras.
Maybe have the option to snap pictures randomly (or by some sort of algorithm) and send it to built-in memory (or stream it to your phone) like the OMG Life camera.
Or stream low-res video to your phone.
There are so many applications . . . and at 5% (just a made up number) of current smart phone users getting one . . . what would be the starting target market size?
I don't know. Sounds pretty cool to me! :)

I'm curious to see what all of my fellow competitors here do for work. I would like to see the type of training you do and if you have found that certain methods have been necessary because of your line of work or if you needed to cut down volume or frequency because of your work. Four years ago I became a structural Ironworker. This is a very demanding physical trade. I feel like often in the gym I am choosing to do or not do certain things based on what I know I will be doing at work in the next day or two. Meaning, if I do a ton of volume on squats or pulls and know I will be climbing around steel the next day or moving some heavy shit around, I'm probably not going to push my volume on those lifts. Also, since I am very active at work I don't put a lot of emphasis on GPP work and/or cardio.
So now, if I sign up for a meet I really don't know what work is going to have in store for me those last few days before the meet. I might have some grueling, physically demanding days leading up to the meet. My next meet in July 13th and I just found out I might be doing overnights setting steel that week. This would mean I will be working until 5 AM busting my ass the morning of the meet.
Just curious if you guys also adjust your training based on your work or if you follow your training to the letter and just allow everything else to work itself out.

Vice President Joe Biden is hitting the road Friday, trying to drum up support for the president's gun control proposals.
Biden plans a roundtable discussion Friday in Richmond with experts who worked on gun safety following the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech.
President Barack Obama wants Congress to require background checks for all gun sales and ban both military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. The president concedes passage will be difficult, but he also will travel to push the plan. His destinations have yet to be announced.
Biden says that the president's proposals are not aimed at at taking guns out of responsible gun owners' hands.
"It's not about keeping bad guns out of the hands of good people, it's about keeping all guns out of the hands of bad people."
Virginia has an avidly pro-gun tradition, but lawmakers have been debating a bill to require that private sellers conduct criminal background checks on buyers at gun shows. The current law only requires dealers to conduct the checks.

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article for the American School Board Journal on bullying. It was a belated follow-up to a decade-old article I wrote in the wake of the 1999 Columbine shootings. The education world changed after Columbine, particularly in the area of student safety and security. I was pleased to find out in my research that school leaders, administrators, and educators were taking bullying and student aggression much more seriously than before the tragedy.
I interviewed counselor and author Stan Davis for my article, and I'll never forget what he had to say about bullying prevention.
All schools have an overt culture and a hidden one, he said. "Kids are paying attention to the hidden one. They will see if we welcome new staff, and if we will listen to hate speech."
If adults are permitted to bully and mistreat each other, or their students, no program, assembly, or curriculum will have much impact.
I had his words in mind when I assigned Senior Editor Naomi Dillon ASBJ's October cover story, "Adults Behaving Badly," now online on ASBJ.com. Dillon looks at the phenomenon of work place bullying. Lean budget times, school layoffs, and high-stakes testing pressure have created a toxic environment in some districts. In some cases, the toxicity is fueled by social networking sites. If not addressed, bullying among adults will spread to students. As educators and parents all know, children are watching your actions more than paying attention to your words.
Also as part of our school climate coverage, Senior Editor Lawrence Hardy writes about how some districts are working to reduce racial, ethnic and cultural tensions while creating an environment where children can thrive. "How's Your Climate?" is also available at www.asbj.com.
Take a look at what we have online this month and please feel free to comment.

At the end of last month, the Egyptian armed forces announced the "latest Egyptian scientific and research breakthrough for the sake of humanity." They unveiled two devices, in fact. One (which resembles a staple gun with an antenna attached to it) they said can detect Hepatitis C and AIDS in patients, at a distance of up to 500 meters -- the rod jerks in the direction of an infected person. The other device can purify a patient's blood of the diseases. The technology for both has something to do with electromagnetic waves. Scientists and journalists immediately called into question the science on which these devices are based.
Egypt has quite low rates of AIDS but the highest incidence of Hepatitis C in the world (due to a botched bilharzia inoculation campaign in the 1980s, in which needles were not properly sterilized). The disease affects an estimated 15% of the population. There are hundreds of thousands of new cases every year.
At the event announcing the invention -- with Minister of Defense General Abdel Fattah El Sisi and interim prime minister Adly Mansour sitting in the front row -- an army officer announced the country had "vanquished" the diseases and promised the new cure would be available in military hospitals starting June 30. In a 14-minute documentary broadcast on state TV, a doctor tells a patient: "You had AIDS, but now it's gone."Read More

Last night, Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton took to the red carpet for the L.A. premiere of their movie, The Other Woman. And once again, the ladies didn't disappoint on the fashion front. (Be sure to shop their style from the film in our Movie-Inspired Style: The Other Woman Boutique, live now.)
Leslie Mann, joined by husband Judd Apatow and their two daughters, worked this season's colorblocking trend, pairing a hot-pink strapless crop top with a coral high-waisted skirt. Cameron Diaz showed off her famous gams in a short little black dress with a plunging neckline, while Kate Upton shone bright in a sparkling Dolce & Gabbana mini dress topped with Chanel jewelry.
Now, while Leslie and Cameron are no strangers to movie-premiere fashion, this is 21-year-old Kate's first movie press tour – but the bombshell sure seems to be holding her own just fine. Before she headed into the Regency Village Theater to take in the premiere, we grabbed her for a few questions. Here, she talks red-carpet style and more.
Rue La La: You've had some great looks this press tour, from the Christian Siriano dress you wore in the Netherlands to the red mini you rocked in Germany. Do you have a favorite?
Kate Upton: That's tough, but honestly, probably this one. I love Dolce & Gabbana.
Rue La La: In The Other Woman, your character Amber has a very laid-back, Cali-cool look. Is your personal style anything like Amber's?
Kate Upton: It's not. It was actually really funny, whenever I was looking through her clothes I was like, "Well, I wouldn't wear that, I wouldn't wear that," because that's how I am on modeling sets. But I'd stop and realize, I'm not looking for myself, this is for Amber. And it was really cool to create a style for a character.
Rue La La: If you could steal the style of one of your costars – Leslie or Cameron – who would it be?
Kate Upton: I love both of their styles. When we're out together I'm always like, "I want that shirt, and those shoes." It's just so much fun being on tour with them and seeing how they put together outfits.
Our Movie-Inspired Style: The Other Woman Boutique opened Monday, April 14, at 3PM ET.

Jade Holder, 19, died after being attacked in the Augusta Youth Development Campus. (WRDW-TV / Nov. 9, 2011)
October 20, 2012
News release from the Department of Juvenile Justice:
"Four youth are back in custody as local law enforcement continues their search for a fifth missing escapee after the five juvenile offenders were discovered absent from roll-call at the Youth Development Campus in Augusta early Friday night.
The five did not get far before a juvenile corrections officer who was headed home at the end of shift spotted the missing youth on a road nearby the DJJ Campus and reported the escape. The Department of Juvenile Justice requested immediate assistance from local law enforcement agencies.
Soon after, Richmond County sheriff's deputies responded to a stolen vehicle report and apprehended three of the youth following a brief car chase. Two other occupants ran into nearby woods. One of those youth later surrendered to a Department of Corrections canine team. No one was hurt in the round-up. None of the youth are from the Augusta area.
As night set in Friday, search teams called for a Georgia State Patrol helicopter for help combing a wooded area in Byron Place off Meadowbrook Drive where the stolen car was abandoned and the fifth juvenile was last seen. Searchers were looking for a teenager in shorts and a T-shirt and warning the public to call 911 and not to approach the youth who was believed to have driven the stolen getaway car.
As a standard security precaution, the Augusta detention facility was immediately placed on lockdown while investigators determine how the escape occurred. Investigators from the DJJ Office of Investigations have already been assigned on site to search the perimeter for security deficiencies, conduct a facility safety review and to look for any laxes in protocols or policy violations which may have contributed to the escape."
This comes just a day after a YDC inmate was sentenced for the beating death of a fellow inmate last November. Michael Everidge, now 18, will serve 17 years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter on Friday.
The murder sparked a News 12 and DJJ investigation, which revealed cases of employee misconduct, sexual relationships and contraband.

Anjajavy Dry Forest meets Indian Ocean, Madegascar. @ C.Michael Hogan
The backshore is that part or zone of a beach profile that extends landward from the sloping foreshore to a point of either vegetation development or a change of physiography, e.g. a sea cliff or a dune field.
Source: University of California San Diego
There may be a distinct seasonality to the spatial definition of the backshore, due to summer to winter changes in high tide levels as well as storm patterns. In these cases the floral and faunal composition of the backshore may vary among seasons.
Ecology and microclimate
Low lying salsola embryo dunes backshore, Namib Desert
@ C.Michael Hogan
Typically most of the organisms inhabiting the backshore are terrestrial in nature, most of whom have made incursions from the proximate upland habitat.
Although the biodiversity of the backshore is much higher than that of the very demanding environment of the foreshore, there are a much smaller number of species that inhabit backshores compared to more upland habitats. This outcome flows from the trickiness of life in the windswept habitat where the dry sands are ever-shifting, and saline soils are prevalent.
Backshore microclimate is a significant determinant of organism diversity on the backshore. Except for mangrove covered backshores in the tropics, the lack of shade cover and exposure to intense sunlight is also a constraint to life. (While most mangrove species thrive on foreshores, there are a number of mangrove species and palms such as the Nipa palm that covet backshore tropical habitats)
However, for the very reason that few species are found on the backshore, the populations of those well adapted to backshores can be very large, being devoid of serious competitors.
Abiotic factors induce habitation of the backshore for specific taxa. For example, in sandy backshores the shape of sand grains have a significant impact on which species are encouraged to populate. Sands having a round shape are hospitable to a broader assortment of species than sharp edged younger sand grains, due to the damage that can be inflicted upon small fauna by the sharp edges.
Hue of the backshore soils are also determinative in the habitat suitability for various species; in particular dark hues absorb more sunlight, creating a hotter microclimate, which may filter out occupancy by organisms incapable of tolerating the warmer temperatures. Thus, for example, the Hawaiian Islands have some of the most depauperate backshore areas on Earth, since sands created from fracturing lava are young, sharp and dark in hue.
There are a wide variety of backshore geometries, soil types and ecological communites. The following sets forth a diversity of these occurrences worldwide:
- California central coast: There are many sandy beach backshores as well as rocky bluffs. The sandy backshores are noted for the presence of seasonal breeding colonies of Northern elephant seals, Harbor seals and other marine mammals. These California backshores are typically the location of harems of females and also the battlegrund of males fighting for breeding dominance. The pageants played out by the elephant seals in January through March are dramatic displays of various animal behaviors. Species composition of shorebirds, other smaller mammals and backshore grasses provide a complete ecosystem setting and backdrop for the megafauna.
- Malaysian Borneo: Backshores at places like Bako National Park provide examples of maximum backshore shade and corresponding biodiversity. The spatial extent of these Malaysian backshores is also significant due to the presence of extremely low gradient sandy muds deposited along these Sunda Shelf mangrove perimeters. In particular salt tolerant palms and mangroves not requiring frequent inundation yield a rich canopy, that in turn fosters habitat for a relatively diverse understory as well as in intriquing diversity of birdlife and mammals. Notable primates such as the Long-tailed macaque, Pig-tailed macaque, Silverleaf monkey and Proboscus monkey are present. Several narrow distribution flying squirrels are also seen arboreally in these backshores.
Gentoo penguin colony on shingle backshore
- Antarctica shingle beaches. These backshores are notable for the extreme differences in snow cover from austral summer to winter in Antarctica. The winter presents total and continuous snow cover inhibiting almost all animals and vascular plants from survival, while the summer months of January through March have exposed rounded shingle pebbles that present a sparse assembly of grasses, mosses and lichens. The most prominent birdlife are colonies of Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, who establish their nests along the backshore and upland. Other notable birdlife includes Skua gulls and several tern species. Fur seals are often observed hauling out and sunning on the backshore and adjoining low lying upland.
- British Isles storm beaches: The backshores here are notable for their dramatic seasonal changes and picturesque strewn rock assemblies. Violent winter storms not only change the location of the backshore to higher ground, but the rock-throw of the pounding surf causes redistribution of rocks as massive as tens of kilograms. Such rearrangement of physical habitat creates new niches for animal and plant habitat when summer comes, but the violence discourages most seasonal habitation during the winter. A variety of shorebirds, pinnipeds and smaller organisms are found here. Good examples of notable storm beaches are found on the rocky windward shores of Mull, Shapinsay and Mainland Orkney, three of Scotland's inhabited and touristed islands.
- Namib Desert: This enormous desert collides with the Benguela Current of the Atlantic in a landform of mostly embryo dunes. Extremely high prevailing wind velocities off of the ocean provide pervasive sandstorms inhospitable to most life. However, the low lying Salsola shrubs plants are able to colonise the backshore providing partial stabilisation the the low lying dunes. The resulting micro-humpy topography provides useful refuge for a variety of small creatures and secondary plants. The most notable large animals found here are the African fur seals who breed here on the backshore and an assortment of birds such as flamingos, gulls and terns. Infrequent visits by lions and jackals.are also observed.

Anticonvulsants for Cancer Pain
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Anticonvulsants control cancer pain by changing the way sodium and calcium travel across the surface of nerve cells in the brain. The nerve cells send fewer signals, and the brain senses less pain.
Why It Is Used
Anticonvulsants help reduce pain related to the nervous system (neuropathic pain). Some have fewer side effects than tricyclic antidepressants.
How Well It Works
Anticonvulsants help control cancer pain related to the nervous system (neuropathic pain).
Side Effects
When anticonvulsants are used to control cancer pain, they may be given in small amounts to limit side effects. Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects, especially:
- Drowsiness.
- Restlessness and irritability.
- Confusion and dizziness.
- Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and belly pain.
- Blurred vision or uncontrollable eye movements (nystagmus).
- Itching, fever, or a rash (sensitivity reaction).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on anticonvulsants and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take anticonvulsant medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take anticonvulsant medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Drowsiness is the most common side effect of anticonvulsant drugs.
These drugs are started at low doses and gradually increased to achieve pain relief.

- The 'truth' of science and the branding of food products and organizations
- Author(s)
- Leitch, Shirley; Davenport, Sally; Motion, Judy; Renton, Michelle
- Abstract
- In this paper we examine the branding of food and how organizations deploy a discourse based upon scientific truth claims in order to shift consumer understandings of food brands and the organizations that produce them. We propose that food science not only changes the process of food production but also changes the meanings that consumers attribute to food brands. Our analysis utilises Foucault's (1988) theory of discourse technologies - including technologies of production, sign systems, power, and the self - to explore the use of scientific discourse in the branding of food products and food organizations (Motion and Leitch, 2002). The application of science may facilitate a discursive shift in which a product that was conceived as a food is rebranded as a nutraceutical or medicine and the organizational identity associated with the brand is similarly transformed.
