Khan vs. Garcia Rematch is Targeted For The Fall
By Edward Chaykovsky
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is not backing away from a junior welterweight rematch between Amir Khan (27-3, 19KOs) and WBA/WBC champion Danny Garcia.
Last July Garcia (25-0, 16KOs) knocked out Khan in the fourth round of a Las Vegas unification. Garcia will defend his title on February 9th against Zab Judah. Khan will return on April 20th, possibly in the UK.
Schaefer has already spoken to Garcia's adviser, Al Haymon, who said his fighter is very interested in a rematch with Khan.
"We have targeted April the 20th as [Khan's] next date. The good news is, I have met with Team Garcia's adviser, Al Haymon, and they are definitely on board to do the rematch. So what we have to do, is we have to do the rematch sometime in November or December for Amir's second fight. His first fight in April is possibly going to be in the UK. There are different names for the opponent and I 'm going to be working on that in the next few days to see who we could secure. The plan would be to have him fight in April and then November/December against Garcia," Schaefer told Sky Sports News.

Financial aid went smoothly, but it was quite a hassle since I am a transfer student. Tips for getting financial aid is to apply as soon as possible.
My financial aid experience was okay. I had to call multiple times to inquire my status which took many weeks for them to settle. My parent's taxes were not accurate because my family lost our business and it was not accurately ported in which we contacted ECU and they did not let us receive any more aid which caused a huge financial burden. Scholarships were not rewarded to me despite my high GPA in high school and college. I do however have more aid for my next semester and I thank my school for the help because without it I would not be able to attend ECU.
If you make sure you fill out your FASFA correctly you should be mine, but if even one small minor error is found the school sends back the form. Then you must make the corrections and then wait a week to see if the form went through.
Over the years, I have not received all of the aid that I would have liked to receive and therefore had to take out student loans on about half of my tuition/housing costs.

Telugu actor Bharath alias Yasho Sagar, whose debut film 'Ullasanga Utsahanga' was a blockbuster, died in a road accident near Tumkur in Karnataka in the wee hours today.
Besides Sagar, in his mid 20s, his assistant Vishvanath Reddy was also killed and another person injured when their car rammed into a bridge near Tumkur, about 100 km from here, District SP T R Suresh said.
The condition of the injured, admitted to a Tumukr hospital, was critical, he said.
Sagar was on his way to Bangalore from Pune when the accident took place around 6.30 am, Suresh said. Reddy was driving the car.
A native of Bangalore, Sagar made his debut in Telegu film 'Ullasanga Utsahanga' which was a major hit in 2008.
Sagar's father B P Somu is a big time producer in Kannada films.
The young star had also acted in Kannada flick "Mr Premikudu" which was produced by his father.
He also did the lead in "Ayyo Pavam", Malayalam remake of "Ullasanga Utsahanga".

Pericardial effusion is a common finding in everyday clinical practice. The first challenge to the clinician is to try to establish an etiologic diagnosis. Sometimes, the pericardial effusion can be easily related to a known underlying disease, such as acute myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, end-stage renal disease or widespread metastatic neoplasm. When no obvious cause is apparent, some clinical findings can be useful to establish a diagnosis of probability. The presence of acute inflammatory signs (chest pain, fever, pericardial friction rub) is predictive for acute idiopathic pericarditis irrespective of the size of the effusion or the presence or absence of tamponade. Severe effusion with absence of inflammatory signs and absence of tamponade is predictive for chronic idiopathic pericardial effusion, and tamponade without inflammatory signs for neoplastic pericardial effusion. Epidemiologic considerations are very important, as in developed countries acute idiopathic pericarditis and idiopathic pericardial effusion are the most common etiologies, but in some underdeveloped geographic areas tuberculous pericarditis is the leading cause of pericardial effusion. The second point is the evaluation of the hemodynamic compromise caused by pericardial fluid. Cardiac tamponade is not an "all or none" phenomenon, but a syndrome with a continuum of severity ranging from an asymptomatic elevation of intrapericardial pressure detectable only through hemodynamic methods to a clinical tamponade recognized by the presence of dyspnea, tachycardia, jugular venous distension, pulsus paradoxus and in the more severe cases arterial hypotension and shock. In the middle, echocardiographic tamponade is recognized by the presence of cardiac chamber collapses and characteristic alterations in respiratory variations of mitral and tricuspid flow. Medical treatment of pericardial effusion is mainly dictated by the presence of inflammatory signs and by the underlying disease if present. Pericardial drainage is mandatory when clinical tamponade is present. In the absence of clinical tamponade, examination of the pericardial fluid is indicated when there is a clinical suspicion of purulent pericarditis and in patients with underlying neoplasia. Patients with chronic massive idiopathic pericardial effusion should also be submitted to pericardial drainage because of the risk of developing unexpected tamponade. The selection of the pericardial drainage procedure depends on the etiology of the effusion. Simple pericardiocentesis is usually sufficient in patients with acute idiopathic or viral pericarditis. Purulent pericarditis should be drained surgically, usually through subxiphoid pericardiotomy. Neoplastic pericardial effusion constitutes a more difficult challenge because reaccumulation of pericardial fluid is a concern. The therapeutic possibilities include extended indwelling pericardial catheter, percutaneous pericardiostomy and intrapericardial instillation of antineoplastic and sclerosing agents. Massive chronic idiopathic pericardial effusions do not respond to medical treatment and tend to recur after pericardiocentesis, so wide anterior pericardiectomy is finally necessary in many cases.
Pericardial effusion is a relatively common finding in everyday clinical practice. Sometimes the clinical picture of the patient leads directly to the search for pericardial effusion, as occurs in patients with chest pain of pericarditic characteristics or in patients with underlying diseases that can cause pericardial involvement (renal failure, chest irradiation) and thoracic complaints. Other patients, without previous known diseases, seek medical attention because of dyspnea or nonspecific chest discomfort and the thoracic X-ray shows the presence of an enlarged cardiac silhouette with clear lungs. Finally, an unexpected cardiomegaly can be fortuitously found in asymptomatic patients during routine medical control for job or insurance purposes or for unrelated complaints. In any case, the finding of cardiomegaly with clear lungs should raise the suspicion of a pericardial effusion. The echocardiogram is the most available and reliable technique in order to verify the presence and the amount of a pericardial effusion; in addition, the echocardiogram offers valuable data for evaluation of hemodynamic repercussion. Mild pericardial effusion (sum of echo-free spaces in the anterior and posterior pericardial sac of less than 10 mm) is a relatively frequent finding, especially in elderly women[1]. In fact, this finding does not always correspond to true effusion, but to pericardial fat. In these cases, computed tomography (CT) is a reliable method to precisely identify the nature of this echocardiographic finding[2].
Although echocardiography is the standard and most available method for the evaluation of pericardial effusion, CT[2] and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can offer some advantages. These imaging techniques allow assessment of the entire chest and detection of associated abnormalities in the mediastinum, lungs and adjacent structures. CT and MRI are also less operator dependent and delineate more precisely the spacial distribution of pericardial effusion in complex pericardial collections. In addition, multidetector CT scanners and MRI may provide valuable information about the function and dynamics of the heart and pericardium. Some of the reported limitations of echocardiography are generally not present with CT, including the possibility of false-positive findings due to adjacent pathologic conditions that may simulate pericardial effusion. Another advantage of CT and MRI is the possibility of identifying hemorrhagic effusions or clots within the pericardium.
The aim of this article is to give a comprehensive review of the etiology, hemodynamic repercussion, and management of moderate (sum of echo-free spaces in anterior and posterior pericardial sac between 10 and 20 mm) and severe (more than 20 mm) pericardial effusion.
When a clinician is faced with a patient who presents with a pericardial effusion, the first challenge is to identify its etiology. In some instances, it can be easily related to an associated condition or medical procedure (Table (Table1).1). This happens, for example, in patients who develop pericardial effusion in the course of acute myocardial infarction[3,4], in patients with end-stage renal failure, in patients receiving chest radiation, or in patients recently submitted to an invasive cardiac procedure with endocavitary catheters. However, even in these contexts, the possibility of unrelated etiologies should be considered. The finding of a pericardial effusion in patients with underlying malignancy creates a more complex dilemma, as not infrequently pericardial effusion is due to alternative causes and not to direct neoplastic pericardial involvement. In Posner's series[5] malignant pericardial disease was diagnosed in 18 (58%) of 31 patients with underlying cancer and pericarditis, while 32% of the patients had idiopathic pericarditis and 10% had radiation induced pericarditis. Porte et al[6] studied 114 patients with recent or remote history of cancer and a pericardial effusion of unknown origin requiring drainage for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Pericardioscopy was performed in 112 patients with pericardial fluid analysis and biopsy of abnormal structures or deposits under direct visual control. Malignant pericardial disease was found in 44 (38%) patients, while 70 (61%) patients had non-malignant pericardial effusions (idiopathic in 33 patients, radiation-induced in 20 patients, infectious effusion in 10 patients, and hemopericardium as a result of coagulation disorders in 8 patients). These studies are important since they show that, in more than half of the patients with underlying cancer, a pericardial effusion is due to causes different than direct neoplastic involvement. Therefore, the precise etiology of these effusions needs to be clarified, as obvious prognostic and therapeutic consequences ensue. Pericardioscopy may be helpful in selected cases[7,8]. Imaging techniques such as CT, MRI and positron emission tomography may also be very useful in the investigation of the presence and extension of neoplastic disease.
In many patients the etiology is initially difficult to establish as no apparent cause is present at the time a pericardial effusion is first identified. Although the final diagnosis of the cause of a pericardial effusion should be based on specific data, some simple clinical indicators may be useful in suggesting a likely etiologic category. Agner et al[9], in a retrospective series of 133 patients, observed that hemodynamic compromise, cardiomegaly, pleural effusion, and a large pericardial effusion were more common in patients with tuberculous or malignant pericardial disease than in patients with idiopathic pericarditis. Hemorrhagic pericardial effusion has been associated with neoplasia in some studies[10], but hemorrhagic effusions can also be seen in patients with idiopathic pericarditis. In fact, the predictive value of these different clinical findings for assessing the etiology of pericardial effusions has not been established. We hypothesized that some simple clinical findings such as the presence of underlying disease, development of cardiac tamponade, and presence or absence of inflammatory signs (typical pericarditic chest pain, fever, pericardial friction rub), might be helpful in classifying the patients into a major etiologic diagnostic category. We prospectively studied 322 patients with moderate and severe pericardial effusion[11]. In 60% of these patients a known previous condition that could cause pericardial effusion was present. The pericardial effusion was demonstrated to be related to the underlying disease in all but 7 of these patients. In the patients with no apparent cause of pericardial effusion at the time of diagnosis (40%) we found that the presence of inflammatory signs (characteristic chest pain, pericardial friction rub, fever or typical electrocardiographic changes) was predictive for acute idiopathic pericarditis (P < 0.001, likelihood ratio 5.4), irrespective of the size of the effusion and the presence or absence of tamponade. Furthermore, severe effusion with absence of inflammatory signs and absence of tamponade was predictive for chronic idiopathic pericardial effusion (P < 0.001, likelihood ratio 20), and tamponade without inflammatory signs for neoplastic pericardial effusion (P < 0.001, likelihood ratio 2.9). The search for evidence of previous chronic effusion can be particularly helpful, as it may make it possible to distinguish neoplastic disease from chronic idiopathic pericardial effusion, which sometimes presents with tamponade. Therefore, although the final etiologic diagnosis should certainly be based on specific clinical data in individual patients, we think that the data afforded by this study may be helpful in the initial assessment and in the decision to perform invasive pericardial studies. Tuberculous pericarditis deserves special attention. Most patients with acute pericarditis will be finally diagnosed with idiopathic pericarditis, but a few cases will correspond to tuberculous pericarditis. Identification of these cases is important due to obvious therapeutic implications. The diagnosis can be established through general examination, including the search of tubercle bacilli in sputum or gastric aspirate or by means of pericardial fluid or pericardial tissue examination (indicated in patients with tamponade or with persistent active illness for more than 3 wk).
Clinical tamponade is the most severe manifestation of hemodynamic compromise caused by a tense pericardial effusion (Figure (Figure1).1). The picture is easily recognized through the presence of the typical findings of dyspnea, tachycardia, jugular venous distension, pulsus paradoxus, and in the more severe cases arterial hypotension and even shock.
Not infrequently the echocardiogram shows findings suggestive of hemodynamic compromise (chamber collapses, characteristic alterations in mitral and tricuspid flows) in patients with moderate and severe pericardial effusion that, on the other hand, do not exhibit any clinical sign of tamponade[12,13]. Cardiologists are puzzled about the clinical relevance of these findings, especially regarding the indication of pericardial drainage. Studies correlating clinical, echocardiographic and catheterization data helped to clarify this problem. For instance, in the study of Mercé et al[14], that included 110 patients with moderate or severe pericardial effusion, 34% of 72 patients without clinical tamponade showed collapse of one or more cardiac chambers. In particular right atrial collapse had a low positive predictive value (52%) for clinical cardiac tamponade, while combined right atrial and right ventricular collapse was more specific (positive predictive value of 74%). However, these patients consistently showed elevation of intrapericardial pressure when submitted to a catheterization study. In the study by Levine et al[15], 50 consecutive medical patients with pericardial effusion associated with diastolic right atrial and/or right ventricular collapse, underwent combined right-sided cardiac catheterization and percutaneous pericardiocentesis. Right atrial collapse was present in 92%, and right ventricular collapse in 57% of patients, respectively. Symptoms that led referring physicians to order the echocardiographic study included dyspnea in 44 patients (83%), pleuritic chest pain in 22 (42%), cough in 5 (9%) and hypotension in 2 patients. At physical examination systolic blood pressure was higher than 100 mmHg in 94% of patients, elevation of the jugular venous pressure was suspected in only 74%, hepatomegaly was present in 28%, and pulsus paradoxus was appreciated in only 36% of patients. In fact, clinical suspicion of tamponade was established in only 50% of the patients. At cardiac catheterization the initial pericardial pressure was elevated in all patients (range 3 to 27 mmHg) and was equal to right atrial pressure (therefore, with hemodynamic criteria of tamponade) in 84% of patients. In comparison with the series of Guberman et al[16], that included patients in which the decision to proceed to invasive drainage of the pericardial space was made on the basis of clinical findings indicative of hemodynamic compromise, the patients in the series of Levine et al[15] had a significantly lower prevalence of hypotension, abnormal pulsus paradoxus, jugular venous pressure elevation and hepatomegaly. All these findings suggest that echocardiography can identify patients with pericardial effusion causing elevation of pericardial pressure before overt hemodynamic embarrassment develops, as the majority of these patients had only mild to moderate clinical tamponade. Even patients with asymptomatic large pericardial effusion without echocardiographic collapses show criteria of hemodynamic tamponade; that is elevation of intrapericardial pressure which equalizes with right atrial pressure and becomes normal after pericardiocentesis together with increase of cardiac output[17]. Experimental[18-21] and clinical studies[22,23] have shown that cardiac tamponade is not an "all-or-none" phenomenon, as previously thought by clinical observation, but a continuum that goes from slight elevations of intrapericardial pressure with subtle hemodynamic repercussion to a situation of severe hemodynamic embarrassment and even death. The concept of continuum was elegantly illustrated by Reddy et al[23] based on hemodynamic observations of 77 patients with pericardial effusion submitted to pericardiocentesis. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on the equilibration of intrapericardial, right atrial and pulmonary arterial wedge pressures. They found that even in patients with an intrapericardial pressure lower than the right atrial pressure, pericardiocentesis produced a significant decrease in intrapericardial pressure, right atrial pressure, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and the inspiratory decrease in arterial systolic pressure. Obviously, these changes were greater in the patients with higher levels of intrapericardial pressure, but, in any case, illustrate the fact that subtle elevations of intrapericardial pressure have hemodynamic consequences. Reddy et al[23] concluded that the severity of hemodynamic derangement rather than its presence or absence should be assessed in patients with pericardial effusion.
A wide variety of conditions may result in pericardial effusion (Table (Table2).2). All types of acute pericarditis can be associated with pericardial effusion. In a hospital series[24] pericardial effusion was present in 50% of patients with acute idiopathic or viral pericarditis. Pericarditis secondary to immunologic processes such as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis, and pericarditis of physical origin (post-radiation, post-traumatic) are frequently accompanied by pericardial effusion. In addition, pericardial effusion of varying amounts can be seen in other conditions such as neoplasia (with or without direct pericardial involvement), myxoedema, renal failure, pregnancy, aortic or cardiac rupture, chylopericardium, or in the setting of chronic sodium and water retention from many causes, including chronic heart failure, nephrotic syndrome and hepatic cirrhosis. The relative prevalence of these etiologies largely depends on the source of the population studied, the relative size and activity of the different departments in a general hospital (especially the number of patients with neoplastic disease or chronic renal insufficiency who attend each hospital), the study protocol applied, and, of course, on the frequency distribution of the different etiologies of pericardial diseases in each geographic area. For instance, in outpatient populations of the western world the most frequent etiologies are probably idiopathic/viral pericarditis and idiopathic pericardial effusion, while in hospital series neoplastic pericarditis, uremic pericarditis and iatrogenic disease are prominent etiologies of pericardial effusion. In developing countries, especially in Subsaharan Africa, tuberculous pericarditis is the leading cause of pericardial effusion[25].
Four major studies[10,11,26,27] have addressed one of the commonest clinical problems in the setting of pericardial diseases that the cardiologist is faced with: to investigate the etiology of large pericardial effusions of unknown origin. These studies (Table (Table1)1) were prospective and were done in general medical centers, but differ in respect to the criteria used to define a pericardial effusion as large, in the number of patients included and, especially, in the study protocol applied to the patients. For instance, Colombo et al[10] consider effusions of > 10 mm by M-mode echocardiography as large, and Corey et al[26] include as large effusions those > 5 mm, while in the series by Sagristà-Sauleda et al[11] moderate effusions were defined as an echo-free space of anterior plus posterior pericardial spaces of 10-20 mm during diastole, and severe effusions as a sum of echo-free spaces > 20 mm. The series by Colombo et al[10] includes 25 male patients all of whom were submitted to an invasive pericardial procedure. Of these patients, 44% presented with cardiac tamponade. The most frequent etiologies of pericardial effusion were: neoplastic (36%), idiopathic (32%), and uremic (20%). Corey et al[26] investigated the etiology of pericardial effusion in 57 patients. The prevalence of cardiac tamponade was not reported. Each patient was assessed by a comprehensive preoperative evaluation followed by subxiphoid pericardiotomy. Microscopic examination of the samples of pericardial fluid and tissue was done and they were also cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria, mycoplasma, and viruses. An etiologic diagnosis was made in 53 patients (93%). The most common diagnoses were malignancy (23%), viral infection (14%), radiation–induced inflammation (14%), collagen-vascular disease (12%), and uremia (12%). In only 4 patients no diagnosis was made. However, some of the diagnoses consisted of the isolation by culture of pericardial fluid or tissue of unexpected organisms of doubtful clinical relevance, and this series was probably biased toward the inclusion of immunocompromised patients. The study by Sagristà-Sauleda et al[11] included 322 patients, 132 with moderate and 190 with severe pericardial effusion. Cardiac tamponade was present in 37%. The patients were studied following our own protocol for the management of pericardial diseases[28], in which invasive pericardial procedures were not systematically performed but were only undertaken under precisely defined indications. In this series, the most common diagnosis was acute idiopathic pericarditis which accounted for 20% of patients. The next most prevalent diagnoses were iatrogenic effusion (16%), neoplastic effusion (13%), and chronic idiopathic pericardial effusion (9%).
The study by Levy et al[27], mainly devoted to investigating infectious causes of pericardial effusion, constitutes a paradigmatic example of the possibility of obtaining specific etiologies by using a sophisticated and costly study protocol with systematic use of molecular biology techniques in patients with pericardial effusion accompanying acute pericarditis. These authors investigated 106 pericardial fluid specimens using conventional and molecular methods (PCR) of analysis. A positive etiologic diagnosis of pericardial disease was obtained in 80 of the 106 patients. However, the majority of these diagnoses were obtained with conventional methods commonly used for the assessment of pericardial diseases, either invasive (cytologic examination or culture of effusion) or non-invasive (clinical history, general clinical assessment, serology). In fact, the implementation of the highly complex molecular diagnosis procedure had a net benefit of 4 specific treatments being given in a population of 106 patients.
In addition to the source of the patients and the extension of the study protocol applied, the severity of the hemodynamic repercussion of pericardial effusion has also etiologic implications. In the series of Guberman et al[16], that included patients with clinical cardiac tamponade, the most common etiology was metastatic cancer in 18 patients, followed by idiopathic pericarditis in 8 and uremic in five. In the study by Levine et al[15], that included 50 patients with echocardiographic tamponade (thus of lower degree of severity than Guberman's series), malignancy was also the most frequent etiology.
Patients with acute inflammatory signs (fever, chest pain, pericardial friction rub) should receive aspirin or non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. In the setting of acute inflammatory pericarditis steroids should be avoided as they increase the possibility of relapses[29,30]. Colchicine is an established indication in patients with relapsing pericarditis[8], and has also been suggested to be useful in the first episode of acute pericarditis in order to avoid the appearance of recurrences[30]. The patients with acute viral or idiopathic pericarditis can be managed on an out-of-hospital basis unless they have clinical predictors of poor prognosis (cardiac tamponade, severe pericardial effusion, immunosuppression, oral anticoagulant therapy or fever > 38°C[31]. The global management of acute pericarditis is shown schematically in Figure Figure2.2. When specific etiology is found (bacterial, tuberculous) the treatment should be directed against the causative agent with pericardial drainage if hemodynamic compromise is present. Strict control in the first weeks or months is necessary because of the possibility of evolution to constrictive pericarditis[32,33]. When acute idiopathic or viral pericarditis is accompanied by moderate to severe effusion new echocardiographic controls should be performed (initially every week) until resolution of the disease. The management of neoplastic pericarditis has been excellently reviewed in this Journal recently[34].
Pericardial drainage procedures can be performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes (patients with cardiac tamponade). In patients without hemodynamic compromise the diagnostic yield of pericardial fluid or pericardial tissue is very low[24]. In a study by our group[35], which included 71 patients with large pericardial effusion without clinical tamponade, we found that pericardial drainage procedures (performed in 26 patients) had a diagnostic yield of only 7%. On the other hand, no patients developed cardiac tamponade or died as a result of pericardial disease, nor did any new diagnosis become apparent in the 45 patients who did not undergo pericardial drainage initially. Furthermore, moderate or large effusions persisted in only 2 of 45 patients managed conservatively. Even patients with echocardiographic collapses rarely require pericardial drainage for therapeutic purposes during the initial admission. Therefore, pericardial drainage procedures are not justified on a routine basis in patients without hemodynamic compromise. Three exceptions to this rule should be noted. Patients with a strong suspicion of purulent or tuberculous pericarditis merit invasive pericardial procedures. On the other hand, in patients with underlying malignancies examination of pericardial fluid is indicated in order to determine whether the effusion is secondary to neoplastic pericardial involvement or is an epiphenomenon (non-malignant effusion) related to the management of the cancer (such as previous thoracic irradiation) or effusions of unknown origin. Lastly, we recommend pericardiocentesis in asymptomatic patients with massive idiopathic chronic pericardial effusion because some of these patients develop unexpected overt tamponade.
A variety of procedures, ranging from simple needle pericardiocentesis to open surgical drainage, are useful for pericardial drainage (Table (Table3).3). The selection of a particular procedure largely depends on the etiology of the pericardial effusion. In patients with idiopathic or viral pericarditis simple pericardiocentesis is usually sufficient as the illness is self-limited in days or a few weeks and tamponade rarely relapses. Purulent pericarditis should be drained surgically, usually through subxiphoid pericardiotomy.
The management of cardiac tamponade in patients with neoplastic pericardial involvement merits a special comment. The goals of the treatment are relief of tamponade and prevention of reaccumulation of fluid, which is frequent in these patients. As a rule, less invasive procedures should be preferred, especially in patients with advanced disease and poor general condition. Simple pericardiocentesis alleviates symptoms in most cases but pericardial effusion relapses in as many as 40%-50% of patients[36]. Therefore, pericardiocentesis is the procedure of choice in terminal patients, when recurrence of effusion is not a real issue. In patients with a longer expected survival the treatment has to contemplate possible fluid reaccumulation. Indwelling pericardial catheters have a success rate (defined as alleviation of tamponade and no need of further procedures) of 75% approximately. The catheter should be maintained as long as the amount of drainage is greater than 25 mL/d. In different series[37-40] the duration of catheter drainage averaged 4.8 d. Catheter infection is a potential complication but in our experience we have not observed any case with such a complication. The aims of a prolonged indwelling pericardial catheter are to achieve a complete pericardial drainage and to provoke adherence between the two layers of the pericardium in order to prevent recurrence of pericardial effusion. This goal can be favoured by intrapericardial sclerosis with tetracycline or other agents. However, some authors[41] have observed no additional advantages over indwelling pericardial catheters and sclerosing agents can provoke "excessive" sclerosis with evolution to constrictive pericarditis with clinical repercussion. Therefore, we think that instillation of sclerosing agents should be avoided in patients with relatively good life expectancy. Balloon pericardiotomy is an alternative to surgical creation of a pericardial window. Access to the pericardial space is gained via a conventional subxiphoid pericardiocentesis. A guide wire is advanced into the pericardium, and a balloon catheter is straddled across the pericardium and inflated to create a window[42]. The fluid drains into the pleura or the peritoneal spaces. This technique has been especially adopted for patients with malignancy and reduced life expectancy, and it is successful in more than 80% of cases[42-45]. Reported complications include fever, pneumothorax, left pleural effusion and bleeding from pericardial blood vessels[44,45].
Surgical drainage procedures should be considered in some patients. Some confusion exists about the precise surgical technique of the different procedures (complete pericardiectomy, partial pericardiectomy, subxiphoid pericardiotomy, anterior transthoracic window, pleuropericardial window) but probably all these procedures have a similar efficacy in relieving pericardial effusion (80%-90%). However, inherent perioperative risks, especially if performed under general anesthesia, are a concern. In fact, the overall 30 d mortality for surgical drainage of malignant pericardial effusion has been reported to be 19.4%[46]. In general, the more complex the procedure, the higher the mortality rate.
Our personal attitude in patients with neoplastic pericardial effusion is to begin with an indwelling pericardial catheter. This procedure can be repeated in cases of relapse. The second option would be a subxiphoid percutaneous pericardiotomy or instillation of sclerosing agents. In our experience, surgical drainage techniques are rarely required. The global management strategy is shown schematically in Figure Figure33.
Some patients show persistence of clinical findings of systemic venous hypertension after effective drainage of the pericardial effusion. In these cases, a possible component of additional constriction physiology should be suspected ("effusive-constrictive pericarditis")[47].
Most patients with a large (more than 20 mm), chronic (longer than 3 mo), idiopathic pericardial effusion are asymptomatic and may remain clinically stable for many years. However, this condition may entail a less than good prognosis, as unexpected overt tamponade can develop in up to 29% of such patients[17]. The trigger of tamponade is unknown, but hypovolemia, paroxysmal tachyarrhythmias, and intercurrent acute pericarditis may precipitate tamponade; accordingly, these events should be vigorously managed. Medical therapy, particularly corticosteroids, colchicine or antituberculous therapy, is not useful.
Pericardiocentesis is the first option in patients with overt tamponade. We think that elective pericardial drainage has to be performed as well in asymptomatic patients as a prophylactic measure to prevent unexpected tamponade. In these patients pericardiocentesis should drain as much pericardial fluid as possible. In cases with relapsing effusion, a second pericardiocentesis is warranted. This sequence may result in definitive disappearance of chronic pericardial effusion as was the case in 8 of 19 patients with effusions present for at least 4 years[17]. When a large pericardial effusion relapses after two pericardiocenteses we recommend surgical drainage with wide anterior pericardiectomy even in asymptomatic patients. In our experience this procedure is safe (no mortality has been observed) and is very effective in the long-term[17,48].
The prognosis of pericardial effusion depends on the underlying etiology[10,11,15,16] being especially poor in patients with neoplastic pericardial effusion secondary to lung cancer and positive cytologic study (presence of malignant cells) in pericardial fluid. Prognosis is very good in idiopathic/viral pericarditis. In patients with tuberculous or purulent pericarditis the prognosis depends on the precocity of the diagnosis and adequate treatment, but purulent pericarditis frequently occurs in patients with underlying debilitating disease (diabetes mellitus, liver cirrhosis, widespread infections). The prognosis is good in chronic idiopathic pericardial effusion but tamponade can occur.

To the Editor:—
The article and editorials in the May 11 issue of The Journal (184:435, 494) regarding the use of analgesics in chronic renal disease have certain amusing as well as dismaying overtones. The patient who consumes analgesic tablets in a dosage of 10 to 30 daily over a period of years will not profit from a warning on the label and scarcely deserves this protection. "Labels recommending no more than six tablets in 24 hours and the avoidance of long-continued use" will hardly meet the problem of the patient who over-works, consumes generous quantities of alcohol, smokes excessively, and then consumes excessive quantities of analgesics until the next cocktail hour. This is the real vicious circle which needs attention.Almost without exception the drug which is introduced as highly effective and utterly without adverse reactions is eventually shown not to be devoid of side effects.

D - Do you recognize that you've just reinforced my major point/issue? My real question is not the hypothetical situations I posted, but the question of Who's the censor? And in your reply you assumed that role. You declared ED meds not appropriate. If I were a manufacturer or distributor of ED meds and applied to advertise on your bus and you said NO I would respond with this argument. ED meds are advertised all over TV in prime time and family time. If they are OK in the home why not on the bus? My target market is not the students in the bus, but the adult sitting in the car at a traffic light and looking at the side of the bus. You're denying me the ability (right?) to advertise a legitimate and legal product. You said some massage parlors can be legitimate businesses. Which ones? How do you determine which are legit and which are illegal? Visit them and make a judgement? If you make a subjective decision that a particular parlor is not OK and deny it space what if the owner disagrees and cites your restraint of his business in the lawsuit? Condoms are OK? Well you think so for very logical reasons. But, you can bet that your school has a large number of parents who would object to this advertising for a variety of well know reasons. Another furor and maybe a suit. If you deny the condom supplier space they would cite the same restraint of trade as discussed above. Consider the situation in New York City where the public transit system refused to post ads protesting the mosque construction. The protesters objected and went to court. I think this fund raising method is a field full of land mines.

Hooray for doing the exact same thing I did last week! Instead of putting in a current time though, I put in my goal time, so I can train for it! Lol. Not sure if that is the appropriate way to do it or not, but it is the approach that I am taking. :-) Now, that we are through all of that, let's go for our goals!ReplyDeleteReplies
I did the same, Emily! I was happy to see my 5K time fit perfectly with it - though my 10K/10 Miler were a little off (though I haven't run a 10 miler in over a year, they did project pretty close to my time goal for the race I planned to run in April). The MacMillan training paces are pretty close to the paces suggested by my training plan so I'm feeling pretty good about it all :)Delete
Good luck with your training!
I think that makes a lot of sense too, using your goal pace. I am doing it that way to help training paces for improving my half marathon time!Delete
I LOVE that photo. I posted it on facebook a few months ago, when I was in the midst of my long run marathon training. It is just so accurate. My mind is so fuzzy by mile 18. I had planned on using that McMillian calculator to increase my 1/2 marathon speed this summer, but my foot has some Plantar Fasciitis going on and so the training has been pushed off for a while. I've heard good things about it. I just don't know if I can slow my long run pace down to what they recommend. I don't doubt that you run that time, but if you haven't ran at those recommended paces during your training, it might not be easy. But if those are around your pace times, then you should be set! The good thing is that this is your 2nd marathon, so you know what to expect and you can really challenge yourself if you want. =)ReplyDelete
I just started using the McMillan calculator myself. I have NO idea what a reasonable time goal for my first full in July is, so it's come in handy. I don't have an "official" time goal for the marathon, my goal is primarily to finish, but it's nice to know what kind of pace I COULD run. I've been keeping the training paces in mind as well.ReplyDelete
And can I just say beer after a long run = heaven!
Hi Paulette! We're not that far off with our own training paces! Given the distance of the marathon, a lot of things are let up to chance so I don't really hold a lot of credit in the calculator. In good conditions, yes, I think it's doable! Most marathons have hiccups though. I think the goal training paces are helpful.ReplyDelete
I LOVE the photo!! HILARIOUS.Replies
Just from my one marathon so far - definitely get the hiccups part! I think I'll need a couple more before I really feel comfortable.Delete
Hi Paulette,ReplyDelete
You know me..I've been using the calculators since day one. ;)
They work really well for shorter races but can be optimistic for the marathon.
My half time was 1:51:xx but my marathon times were more like 4:15 than the 3:5x that the calculators said. This is actually pretty typical for new marathoners.
Eventually I learned (with jill's help) that speedwork, hill sprints, strength training , drills etc are essential..not just racking up miles.
I finally got to the point where my marathon time was the same as predicted by the calculators 8/Replies
Good to know! I think 4:34 is really aggressive for me, especially in just my second marathon. I was totally surprised by that number. I do hill work and strength training, but I need to add more speedwork. I figure I'll get through this marathon and go from there with real time goals! Unless I happen to feel really on that day or something.Delete
I use the McMillan calculator and find it pretty accurate and do-able. I'm working off the latest 5k PR time that I trained in winter for, so the marathon time appears more of a challenge. I guess that would be the same as entering a goal time. It means knocking 20 minutes off my last 26.2, which seems realistic. Weekly Intervals and repeat workouts are really helpful.ReplyDelete

As you may remember, I've been doing my best to follow the Hanson half marathon plan for the last couple of months with a race goal of the SF Half Marathon . The Hanson plans focus on building cumulative fatigue, and let me say right now I'm finding out how that works. My legs and body really feel it with every run at this point, and dare I say I haven't even run the plan to its fullest. There are quite a few things I love about the Hanson plans and also a few parts that have been very challenging for me. What I love. Training paces: The book outlines training paces based on your goal times. Although I initially thought they sounded too slow, I'm learning that keeping these paces isn't always as easy as it sounds once the legs are super tired. The paces start to make sense. Hard days versus easy days: They focus on hard effort days followed by easy effort days, meaning the hard days are really hard and the easy are really easy. I love this. I feel like I have
This post is dedicated to a few friends who have recently started running or will be soon - they know who they are. And they ROCK! Running has done so much for my life, and I want people to know why I love it and to encourage others to stick with running too. The story of how I started is in the 'Why I Run' tab of this blog, but for this post I'm focused why I keep running. Here it is, not necessarily in order of importance. 1. Running relieves stress. When I feel anxious or have had a rough day, running always helps. I often can't wait until it's time to run that day, and sometimes I sneak out at lunch instead of waiting until after work. It makes me feel amazingly focused and happy for the rest of the day. I don't even run with music - I enjoy listening to my footsteps and freeing my mind in the great outdoors. 2. Running makes me happy. The runner's high is real, and I'm addicted. I love nothing more than feeling the exhausted-happiness I get af
On Saturday, I ran the Lake Chabot Trail Half Marathon in Castro Valley, CA. It was my first Inside Trail Racing event, and I was very impressed with the race organization. I've been trail running for a few months now, but this is only my third trail race event; I love how much more laid back the races are and how everyone seems really into it. I know I am! Exploring new trails and parks is a fantastic way to spend a day. I didn't go into this race with specific goals, I wanted to run the hills as much as I could and use it as a hard training run. I ended up feeling really good, the weather was cool but sunny, and the lake views were pretty. This half didn't have as much elevation gain as many trail races and parts were on paved bike trail, so it was definitely easier than the other trail races I've done. The drive was only about 40 minutes from San Jose and I was there in plenty of time to get parking, pick up my race bib, and to chat with friends. I knew quite a f

Welcome to Lake Nakuru National Park
Just two hours' drive from Nairobi, Lake Nakuru is among Kenya's finest national parks. Flanked by rocky escarpments, pockets of forest and at least one waterfall, the park is pretty year-round. Rising water levels in 2014 forced the park's famous flamingos to flee, but water levels are prone to fluctuation and depending on the time of your visit, they may be back in residence.

Diane29's Review for Wildlife Center of Virginia
4 people found this review helpful
I feel like that so much has already been said about the Virginia Wildlife Center but I do agree that the thing which impressed me the most was how they will care for even the most "common" animal whether it be a mouse, skunk, oppossum and many others that many people would feel to be a waste of time, effort and money. All creatures are here for a reason and I am glad that they will try to help them regardless of whether they are "classy" or not. They have shown the greatest "restraint" putting up with the EN's that followed the Norfold eagles when they went under their care. I feel that all of the employees try their very best to keep us "happy" when they have so much more to do at the Center. It has been a pleasure to donate to the Center and help them out how ever I can. I think by just the shear volumn of what we as a group have done with the Chase contest shows how much we all care about their work.

- Mental health film festival raises unanswered questions
PANAJI: Claiming that the current education system is stressed more on analyzing and thinking, veteran actor and professional psychiatrist, Mohan Agashe advocated the importance of being sensitive to people suffering with mental illnesses such as Dementia. "Our first teachers are our senses. To see, taste and smell. That develops our thought process. Now, the current education system has somewhat diminished their importance. Also, we need to empathize not just with the patient but also with the people who are taking care of it as the current family structure demands every adult to earn a living and in that race, we are often unable to give the warmth and love that is the most important medicine for a mental patient," Agashe said, while addressing the audience at the entertainment society of Goa on the occasion of the mental health film festival after the screening of his film 'Astu,' where he plays the role of a retired professor suffering from Alzheimer's. "Films like 'Astu' are an attempt to smuggle education in the garb of entertainment as it is difficult to find audience for such a film in the era of blockbusters. The film raises serious questions on the treatment of a growing population and what different we can do to tackle it," Agashe quipped. The actor was joined by Dr. Amit Dias, Asst. Professor, Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Goa Medical College, who shared his experience on patients suffering with dementia and their caretakers. "People come and ask for sleeping pills for their parents so that they can concentrate on their work. We have to understand that medication can only provide limited comfort to the patients; love and care are the only sustainable solutions. The government can help in the diagnosis by providing help to adults who have to look after their parents in term of leaves, monetary assistance and flexible work timings. It will help in reducing the burnout among people who can't cope with the demands of work and the patient."
- UP's film policy creates waves at Indiwood film ceremony
LUCKNOW: After making its presence felt in the Cannes Film Festival, the film policy of Uttar Pradesh created waves at Indiwood film ceremony held at Ramoji City. Since, the film policy of UP was better than that of other states, it was awarded. The policy of the Uttar Pradesh government was also termed as a good initiative aimed at revival of film industry. After returning from Hyderabad, Vishal Kapoor, member of UP Film Development Council (UPFDC), said, "The Film Policy of UP framed on the initiative of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav would certainly go a long way to establish UP as a film-friendly state." Kapoor further stated that he met the Iranian director Hasan Nazar, whose film Uthopia has been nominated for the Oscars, and he has shown willingness to come and work in Uttar Pradesh. "The Iranian film maker also showered heaps of praises on CM Akhilesh and attributed the farsightedness of the film policy to the vision of the chief minister," Kapoor said. More than 2000 delegates had participated in the event. The member of UPFDC further stated that UP has become the first state in the country to take such initiative. The film policy would also help in generating employment avenues and boost tourism. Apart from Vishal Kapoor, the UP delegation consisted of vice-president of UPFDC Gaurav Dwivedi and members Harshwardhan Agarwal and Yashraj Singh.
- 6 taluk headquarters will screen films
MYSURU: The Dasara film festival subcommittee is taking the much sought-after event to taluk level by screening award-winning films at taluk headquarters. The film festival will be launched on October 1 by chief minister Siddaramaiah at Kalamandir. The films will be screened at theatres in taluks headquarters of Nanjangud, HD Kote, T Narsipur, Periyapatna, Hunsur and KR Nagar from October 2. In the city, the films will be screened at three theatres and two multiplexes. The panel stated that award-winning films and some popular Kannada movies will be screened during the eight-day festival. As the theme of this year's Dasara is water conservation, the panel has decided to screen a documentary produced by films division of the union ministry of information and broadcasting at the inaugural session. The films to be screened at the festival include Kenda Sampige, Mr and Mrs Ramachari, Ranna, Istakamya, Babruvahana, Apoorva, Vaastu Prakara, Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, Kiragurina Gayyaligalu, Godi Banna Sadarana Maikattu, U Turn, First Rank Raju, Thithi, Rangitaranga, Nanu Avanalla Avalu and Chakravuha. A few critically acclaimed foreign films will be screened at Senate Bhavan and at Rani Bahadur auditorium in Manasagangotri.
- Films need to address mental illnesses with sensitivity, dignity
PANAJI: For all the creativity and visual impact that Bollywood has on society, the portrayal of mental illness has often been insensitive. Aside from the rare film that addresses the issue with maturity, Indian cinema has depicted persons with mental illness as caricatures meant for comic relief or as objects of pity, a trend that mental health professionals are unhappy with. "Movies generally stereotype people with mental illness as dangerous or incompetent and reduce them to exaggerated caricatures of their diagnoses," psychiatrist Dr. Abhijit Nadkarni said. To mark 20 years of its foundation, public health research institute Sangath will host a film festival on September 25 at Maquinez Palace from 9:45am that will showcase movies dealing with mental illnesses. "Films like Taare Zameen Par have handled the issue pretty well but often that is not the case. The whole purpose behind this film festival is to highlight the stigma and demystify it. We also want to promote the idea of living with dignity," adolescent health program director at Sangath Prachi Khandeparkar said. Sangath, along with Trimiti Trust, will screen 10 movies and host a panel discussion with mental health experts to try and highlight the insensitivity that persons with disability face in their lives. The festival will kick off with the screening of Marathi film Astu, which deals with dementia. Actor and psychiatrist Mohan Agashe, who also produced Astu, will then partake in a panel discussion to describe dementia through the eyes of a patient.

Apple have finally decided to announce the dates for WWDC and have left it pretty late with just over five weeks notice – streuth!
The dates have been announced as 7th – 11th June 2010 at Moscone West, San Francisco.
Much rumblings of disquiet on Twitter as developers are left with the last minute decision to attend. Looks like Apple have elevated the status of iPhone/iPad development over the Mac with @pilky on Twitter counting up the split of sessions (not counting the web sessions) as:
It also looks like the Apple Design Awards are just for the mobile platforms this year – surely some mistake?
Tickets for WWDC are extremely expensive this year, with UK developers having to stump up £1099 plus VAT for a single ticket. Add in the extra expense of last minute flights, accommodation and living expenses, it looks like Apple may suffer a backlash of WWDC being poorly attended by International developers.
I daresay that WWDC will be a sell out as usual (and by that I mean they'll sell all the tickets!) but it's a shame that Apple held onto the dates for so long. Surely this must have been planned for quite some time.
Anyhow, WWDC is an event I've never been to before as I'd always considered it to be inappropriate for me as I'm not a developer. Yes, I have a good appreciation of Apple technologies obviously, but some of the sessions look way over my head.
That all changed when I went to the NSConference in 2009, a much smaller event held in the UK. I sat in on a number of technical sessions that actually were fascinating, even if I couldn't put them to good use but more importantly, met up with a load of really cool Mac developers, including some customers of mine. I found it to be a hugely valuable experience.
So I'd sort of played with the idea of going to WWDC one day, for a similar experience – learn something and meet up with developers whose products will end up being featured on ScreenCastsOnline. I've had several conversations with people who all recommended that WWDC was really a good place to go, both on a personal and professional level. One technical aspect I am interested in is some of the web technologies in relation to video on the web. Obviously, I have a vested interest in that!
So despite the expense, I've just made a rash decision to book a ticket and now I'm confirmed for WWDC 2010. I managed to get a combined flight and hotel deal at a reasonable cost but it's still a significant expense. As I needed to pay up front to get a good deal on my flight and hotel (with this short notice, I suppose that's pretty much unavoidable anyway) I'm going to postpone the planned upgrade to my MacBook Pro for the time being. Otherwise, it would be a pretty hefty month!
It's a shame there won't be more International attendees based on some of the early feedback, but I'll try my best to fly the flag.

The Philadelphia Parking Authority can proceed with the new operator of its red-light camera program, according to a Commonwealth Court decision announced Friday.
A three-judge panel denied a request by American Traffic Solutions Inc. of Tempe, Ariz., to void PPA's contract with Xerox State & Local Solutions Inc., a unit of Xerox Corp., of Norwalk, Conn.
PPA Executive Director Vince Fenerty said in a statement that the aim of the camera program "had always been to reduce red-light running and save lives," and that the ruling would allow the transition to Xerox to continue.
The ATS contract ended Feb. 14, but it provided for a "winding-down period" of up to six months to keep the system running during the switch to another vendor.

Shop the full Serge Normant haircare collection here!
Post salon tresses only last for so long and we dread the day we realize the hair magic is gone and once again are back to our old devices and hair that never looks as good as when we left the salon. I drag that wash out as long as I can, sometimes even going a week because my hair is so thick. In the end, what has me reaching for my shampoo bottle is the smell and the dirty shine. Which is why Serge Normant's latest product, Avah Eau de Parfum, is ingenious in itself and works beautifully alongside a dry shampoo.
It made the cut in Rachel Zoe's 'The Zoe Report' for it's heavenly fresh scent that stays locked into your strands for days on end. If you haven't guessed, Serge Normant's Avah is a perfume that can be used freely all over, but more specifically on your hair. Not only does it smell sensual with ylang yang, jasmine and amber but it's also a very caring product with nourishing properties of vitamin e, aloe vera, and jojoba.

Even Oprah loves it as it was just featured in O magazine as part of the 'Sun-Day Best' feature on hardworking sun products that get the job done right. They suggest to begin using a few days before your first trip to the pool or beach. Besides getting a glowing tan and SPF, your skin is also being benefited by moisturizing ingredients like glycerin to leave skin smooth and steak free!

Getting straight hair is never as simple as just running a straight iron through it. Sometimes the straighter the hair, the more obvious those dreaded frizzes appear to be. It's worth your time to take a few extra steps so you can look like you just walked out of the latest hair commercial. In slow-mo and everything. Celebrity hairdresser to the stars Serge Normant has shared some of his tricks over the last few weeks and now he's breaking down the steps to get smooth & straight locks resembling the model below.
Step 1. Spray Meta Lush Volumizer from root to tip through damp hair.
Step 2: Create a defined side part.
Step 3: Blow dry with a middle size round brush giving a good band to the ends.
Step 4: Using a 1 inch barrel curling iron, curl the bottom half of the hair but be mindful to use larger sections of hair as not to over curl.
Step 5: Brush till you see the shape you want.
Step 6: Finish with Meta Luxe Hair Spray to hold in place and Meta Sheer Dry Oil Finishing Spray for extra texture and weightless volume.
