Because nothing boosts happiness more than a great book, each month, I suggest:
- one outstanding book about happiness or habits
- one outstanding work of children's or young-adult literature–I have a crazy passion for kidlit
- one eccentric pick–a widely admired and excellent book that I love, yes, but one that may not appeal to everyone
Shop at IndieBound, BN.com, or Amazon (I'm an affiliate), or your favorite local bookstore. Or my favorite, visit the library!
For all the books I choose, I love them; I've read most of them at least twice if not many times; and they're widely admired. Drumroll…
A book about happiness, good habits, or human nature:
Born Standing Up by Steven Martin
Buy from IndieBound; BN.com; Amazon.
An outstanding children's book:
Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield
Buy from IndieBound; BN.com; Amazon.
An eccentric pick:
The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film by Michael Ondaatje
Buy from IndieBound; BN.com; Amazon.
Some readers have said that they wished that I'd describe and make the case for my book choices, instead of just providing links. I've noticed that many times, when someone describes a book to me, I want to read it less. And often, weirdly, the better a book is, the worse it sounds.
Nevertheless, because so many readers have requested it, I've decided to give a bit more context for these choices in the book-club newsletter. So if you'd like to know more about why I made these selections, check there. To get that free monthly book-club newsletter, and to make sure you don' t miss any recommendations, sign up here.

A123 Systems, Inc. (AONE) to Supply Battery Packs for Electric Trucks 0 commentsJan 6, 2012 5:39 PM | about stocks: AONEQ
Yesterday, A123 Systems announced that they would be supplying complete lithium ion battery packs to VIA Motors for use in VIA's eREV Powertrain vehicles. The 24kWh batteries will power both an onboard motor and generator in the trucks, and will enable them to drive on all-electric power for up to 40 miles. VIA's range of trucks, vans and SUVs, called VTRUX, all utilize the eREV Powertrain system.
A123 Systems is a developer and manufacturer of lithium ion batteries and other energy storage systems that are utilized in the transportation, electric grid and commercial industries. Initially developed at MIT, the company's proprietary Nanophosphate technology is based on nanoscale materials that give their energy storage products high power and energy density along with extended battery life and increased safety.
Along with powering the vehicles, A123′s batteries will function as exportable power sources and allow for the stored energy to be used externally. A123 has begun producing the new battery packs, while VIA has started delivering vehicles to commercial fleet customers.
Jason Forcier, vice president of A123's Automotive Solutions Group, said, "We believe that the high power, greater usable energy and long life offered by our Nanophosphate lithium ion battery solutions will help VIA better position its eREV Powertrain platform as a cost-effective solution to maximize vehicle range and increase fuel economy. We think that commercial and government fleets represent a tremendous opportunity for vehicle electrification, and we look forward to working with VIA Motors to design eREV trucks, vans and SUVs that meet fleet customers' needs for efficient, environmentally friendly vehicles that also satisfy their performance, range and reliability requirements."
Kraig Higginson, CEO of VIA Motors, said, "VIA plans to ramp up production significantly over the next three years to satisfy demand for clean, fuel-efficient full-size trucks and SUVs. We selected A123's Nanophosphate lithium ion battery systems because they are able to package higher power into a compact space in the vehicle."

Reply oswaldoc Nov 14, 2011 expensive Reply ShiningDream Nov 14, 2011 $599+$5 is 'expensive' if you are looking for a computer which is good for light computing (e.g. web browsing, video chatting or document editing etc.). But if you are looking for a high-end computer, which has a 'Intel' Quad Core Processor and dedicated graphics chip; this particular deal is a good one. Reply 1 like ShiningDream Nov 14, 2011 Oh, btw it has a blue-ray drive too :D Reply 1 like unreal25 Nov 15, 2011 GeForce GT525M is hardly "high end". With that GPU, the quad core CPU is a waste -- it won't help you run games much better. In fact it wont help with anything unless you run CPU-intensive tasks. Its fine for playing games at low settings and watching movies though. (Then again, there may be better options on the market depending what one is looking for in a laptop.) Also note that this is a refurb with 90 day warranty. For a refurb laptop this is not good news. Its also probably not very user friendly to changing and upgrading parts on your own, in case something gets broken. Reply ShiningDream Nov 15, 2011 I totally agree with you @unreal25. But when Dell/HP/Acer can sell a Intel i5 Processors (lesser speed) with 4 GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics (far inferior compared to N GT525M) and DVD RWs for $599 and $699, this is much better that's what I meant. Hope I am able to explain better this time. And btw, the extra 9 months of warranty u get on a new laptop is just a basic warranty. One have to pay extra to get total coverage.

PLEASANTVILLE - A student newspaper at Pace University is reporting that two of the school's lacrosse players have failed drug tests.
Student reporter Cecilia Levine published the allegations in the Pace Chronicle, alleging that two lacrosse players used cocaine and marijuana in late February or early March. She says she interviewed current and former Pace athletes for her story.
"It was a little unsettling because I knew that lacrosse was getting ready to go into a new season with a new coach, and I think it may have taken people by surprise because they came off as a very serious team," she says.
READ MORE: Education Stories
The head of the school's athletics department said in a statement that he doesn't take drug-testing lightly, and that all students are encouraged to make healthy choices.
Athletes at Pace University are subject to random drug testing, and the university says it suspends students when appropriate. However, the university would not comment on any specific allegations.

Ex-ING manager indicted on fund misuse
The China Post news staff
November 8, 2012, 12:14 am TWN
Hsieh Cing-liang (謝青良), who is accused of manipulating the stock market with government funds for personal gain, has been indicted for breach of trust and he has been prohibited from leaving the country, according to a Business Today report.
The article, published today, also claimed that Hsieh purchased a luxury apartment worth over NT$200 million under his wife's name several months after he had sold off stocks from electronics firm Ablerex (盈正豫順) in 2010. The apartment, which is located across Daan Park (大安森林公園), is now estimated to be worth NT$400 million.
Hsieh, a former ING fund (安泰投信) manager, was in charge of investing the government's pension funds.
He allegedly bought large amounts of Ablerex shares at NT$80 from the over-the-counter market through a dummy account in June, 2010.
After the shares skyrocketed to NT$546 on Sept. 17, Hsieh used money from the government's pension fund to purchase 600 units.
By Oct. 1, Hsieh had sold all the shares purchased through the dummy account, raking in approximately NT$14 million.
Hsieh, however, did not start selling the 600 units purchased with government funds until the second trading day. By Oct. 6, the pension fund had accumulated losses totaling NT$144 million.
According to Business Today, Hsieh does not have a loan on the aforementioned apartment — a peculiar fact given that Hsieh does not come from a wealthy family. The magazine did a rough estimate of Hsieh's salary and bonuses and said that unless the former ING fund manager had "a special source of 'income,'" he would not have been able to afford the apartment.

- Kosovo
- Macedonia
- Montenegro
- Romania
- Serbia
- All Balkan Countries
The UN secretary general has told Kosovo leaders to preserve the country's stability and solve all problems through dialogue.
At a meeting held in New York, Ban Ki-moon has told Kosovo's President Atifete Jahjaga and Prime Minister Hashim Thaci that the European Union's role in the Balkans region is essential, and its guidance should be followed.
"It is important for Kosovo to maintain stability... all issues should be solved by peaceful means. The entire region should look ahead to Euro-Atlantic integrations," Ki-moon is quoted as saying in the press release issued after the meeting by the Kosovo side.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008. Since then 89 states, including 22 EU member states and the US, have recognized it.
Serbia and Kosovo started EU-mediated talks in Brussels in March 2011, three years after Kosovo declared independence, which Serbia refuses to recognise.
President Atifete Jahjaga accused Serbia of jeopardizing Kosovo's security and territorial integrity by continuing to finance illegal Serb structures in the northern part of Kosovo.
She said that such security structures keep frightening the ordinary Kosovo Serbs, with whom the Albanian-led government in Pristina wants to have a dialogue.
"We are determined to continue the dialogue with the Serb citizens in this part of the country to find ways to include them in the institutional life," she is quoted saying in the press release.
Northern Kosovo, which borders with Serbia and is ethnically predominantly Serbian, does not recognise Kosovo's independence or the government in Pristina.
Serbia's Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said on Saturday that he thinks that the partition is the only real possible solution for solving Kosovo's status issue.
But Kosovo leaders rejected such idea a long time ago, saying that the change of borders in the Balkans is a dangerous game.
Serbia's President Tomislav Nikolic will also have a meeting on Monday with UN's chief Ban Ki-moon, and the Kosovo talks issue is part of the agenda.
The recent dramas in Serbia over Kosovo should not fool anyone; for Vucic, the 'southern province' issue is just a tool in a non-stop election campaign.
The main Kosovo Serb party's boycott of parliament shows that its decisions are guided by Belgrade, while also highlighting Pristina political leaders' inability to integrate the country's Serb minority.
Kosovo's efforts to privatise state companies from the Yugoslav era have continued to face strong opposition from Serbia, which has been seeking to assert control over key assets in its former province.
Kosovo's parliament passed a resolution calling for the release of Mitrovica police director Nehat Thaci, who was arrested in Serbia on terrorism charges, and for the EU to intervene to ensure he is freed.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Belgrade does not accept the Kosovo government's decision to put the huge ex-Yugoslav Trepca mining complex under Pristina's control.
It is no surprise that none of the four agreements signed last year have got anywhere when both governments have been insincere about the normalisation process from the beginning.
President Hashim Thaci sent letters to Kosovo prosecutors urging them to take action to resolve a series of crimes against both ethnic Albanians and Serbs during and after the war in 1999.
Nehat Thaci, the Kosovo Police director in the Mitrovica area who was arrested last month by Serbia, denied charges accusing him of staging a terrorist attack on a Serb family in 1999.
Kosovo's parliament is due to start a debate on the draft law on the Trepca mine amid controversy over the exact plans and protests by Serbia and Kosovo Serbs.
Kosovo on Monday refused to allow Marko Djuric, head of the Serbian government's Kosovo office, into the country, having ordered him out in September for breaking the protocol on Serbian official visits.
Brussels agreement has left Serbs in north Kosovo uncertain about what the future holds - and whether they should remain at all.

Why spend time money on people who aren't doing what you claim your non profit stands for. You dont even know that the person you are defending to animal control has not only not practiced tnr but releases cats from Neighbors traps when they catch them to be fixed. But yet you have no problem flood animal control officers and lying for her.... So she can continue to breed her cat colony and that is exactly what she is doing. So neighbors are not upset because she throws a couple of handfuls of food out the door they are upset because do to her efforts and protection by you the cat colony has grown from 6 to over 40 cats in a very short time. These arent new cats being brought in these are the kittens from off spring of the original 6.. four of which my family paid to get fixed and the other 2 the woman you support claimed she got fixed but few short mths later we found on of the two she claimed to have fixed had first litter of kittens... but by all means Susan G keep up supporting this woman who is breeding feral cats....

Prevalence and clinical significance of collateral findings detected by chest computed tomography in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation
Aims Chest computed tomography (CT) scanning is increasingly used as an imaging technique in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. Chest CT scans visualize organs other than the heart and collateral findings may be identified incidentally. Our study aims to assess the prevalence and clinical relevance of such collateral findings in patients undergoing AF ablation.
Methods and results One hundred and seventy-three patients (127 males, age 59 ± 10 years) underwent chest CT scan for image integration in AF ablation. Collateral findings from visualized thoracic and upper abdominal organs were collected. Findings that required further investigations or treatment according to current guidelines were considered as clinically significant. A total of 164 collateral findings were identified in 97 (56%) patients, and most patients showed abnormalities of the lungs (67 patients, 39%). Forty-nine (28%) patients had clinically significant findings needing further investigation and 17 (10%) of them required specific treatments, including three cases (1.7 %) of lung malignancy.
Conclusions Chest CT images acquired for integration in AF ablation should be read thoroughly as they may serve as a screening tool for otherwise unrecognized clinically significant conditions of the heart, lungs, or other visualized organs.
- Collateral findings
- Incidental findings
- Chest computed tomography
- Image integration
- Atrial fibrillation ablation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia; it carries significant morbidity and mortality, and directs the allocation of sizeable health care resources.1 According to the current ACCF/AHA/HRS guidelines for AF management,2 catheter ablation is increasingly used as a therapeutic approach in patients with symptomatic drug-refractory AF.
Atrial fibrillation catheter ablation has undergone considerable technical evolution over the past decade.3,4 The integration of three-dimensional (3D) electroanatomical mapping systems with pre-acquired images of cardiac anatomy is recognized as a major advancement in the AF ablation technique.5
Both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been employed in this context,6 as they provide an accurate imaging of pulmonary vein (PV) and left atrial (LA) anatomy with excellent spatial resolution, supplying the necessary anatomic information for successful ablation.
In comparing these techniques, it should be emphasized that multi-slice CT angiography has become a standard non-invasive imaging technique to visualize vascular and cardiac anatomy.7 Moreover, CT is surely more widely available than MRI and is preferred in the evaluation of such structures as the pulmonary parenchyma, mediastinum, and upper abdomen.
The growing number of chest CT scans performed to diagnose coronary artery disease has led to a steep increase in the identification of so-called incidental or collateral findings,8–15 broadly defined as any finding that is unsuspected or unrelated to the clinical indication for imaging. Some of these findings may explain elements of the patient's clinical presentation, whereas others may reveal subclinical malignant disease, or even remain indeterminate and require further investigation or follow-up.
To date, no systematic data have been published on the prevalence and clinical implications of collateral findings in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced chest CT scan for image integration with electroanatomical mapping in view of an AF catheter ablation procedure. The aim of our study is to assess the prevalence and distribution of clinically significant collateral findings in such patients and to evaluate the impact of those findings on the further clinical management and prognosis of the study population.
Study population
We enrolled 173 consecutive patients in apparently good health except for AF, who were referred to the Centro Cardiologico Monzino (Milan, Italy) between November 2009 and June 2010 to undergo catheter ablation of AF. All patients had symptomatic documented AF which had proven refractory to at least two anti-arrhythmic drugs. With the intent of estimating the risk for bronchogenic carcinoma, particular attention has been paid to cigarette smoking habit. We defined as 'former smokers' patients who had quit smoking >5 years before the date of enrolment.
Within 24 h prior to the ablation procedure, all patients underwent a transoesophageal echocardiogram to rule out the presence of thrombi in the LA or left atrial appendage (LAA) and a chest CT scan to allow image integration for AF ablation. All patients had provided written informed consent to transoesophageal echocardiogram, contrast-enhanced CT scan, and AF catheter ablation.
Computed tomography scan
Data acquisition
Chest CT angiography scans were acquired using a 64-slice multi-detector CT scanner (GE-Lightspeed, General Electric, Milwaukee, WI, USA), with a field of view (FOV) which extended in the z-axis from the level of the carina to the diaphragmatic domes. A systematic search of any collateral finding was performed in the FOV. Since a consistent proportion of the patients were in AF at the moment of the exam, CT scan was not synchronized with electrocardiogram (ECG). It was acquired with a slice thickness of 0.625 mm and a slice interval of 0.625 mm. Contrast medium administration consisted of 80–100 mL of 400 mgI/mL agent (Iomeron, Bracco, Milan, Italy) injected through the antecubital vein at 5 mL/s followed by 60 mL of saline chaser using a dual-syringe automatic injector (Stellant, MedRad, Pittsburg, PA, USA). Scan synchronization with contrast material was performed with the bolus tracking technique (SMART PREP, GE, Milwaukee, WI, USA).
Image analysis
All images were transferred to an Advantage Windows workstation (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA) and reviewed by two experienced radiologists. Images were displayed in the original two-dimensional (2D) format in the mediastinal windows (400 W/4°C) and in the 3D or 2D multi-planar reconstruction views. Computed tomography data were recorded onto a CD-ROM in a Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine (DICOM) format, using a soft tissue algorithm.
A first dataset was reconstructed with a small FOV tightly confined around the heart. Thus, images from the contrast-enhanced CT angiography scan were analysed to answer the clinical issue, that is, to evaluate the LA–PV anatomy. A second dataset was then reconstructed with a larger FOV (from the level of the carina through the diaphragmatic domes) and the whole CT scan was analysed to search for cardiac and extra-cardiac abnormalities, such as undetermined nodules, suspected tumours, inflammatory diseases, infections, degenerative, and vascular lesions in the pulmonary parenchyma, mediastinum, breasts, or in the upper abdomen. The presence of collateral findings was investigated by the two radiologists through the original 2D axial images displayed in the mediastinal windows (400 W/4°C), lung windows (1700 W/–50°C), bone windows (2500 W/50°C), and liver windows (200 W/10°C).
Analysis and management of collateral findings
Collateral findings were identified in the chest and upper abdomen. We defined as clinically significant all lesions deemed to require any further medical investigation or follow-up according to current guidelines and consensus papers,16–18 along with findings that were judged to be important to recognize (such as vascular abnormalities). Non-pulmonary collateral findings were followed up, if indicated, with the appropriate first-line methods, such as ultrasound for kidney and liver lesions, mammography or ultrasound for breast nodules, echocardiography for pericardial effusions, CT angiography for thoracic aortic aneurysms, and so on.
Regarding pulmonary parenchymal lesions, we followed the recommendations from the Fleishner Society16 to establish if any further investigation was required. In particular, if no previous studies existed to document 2-year stability, a single follow-up chest CT scan was performed at 12 months for lesions <4 mm in diameter only in high-risk subjects (patients with smoking history, previous cancer, first-degree relatives with history of cancer, or other known risk factors). Nodules >8 mm in size were followed up with CT scan at ∼3, 9, and 24 months, or other investigations were performed if appropriate, such as positron-emission tomography (PET), PET-CT, bronchoscopy, or biopsy. Nodules in the 5–8 mm range were managed according to their morphology and patient risk factors, as stated by current guidelines.16 Moreover, features characteristically associated with benign nodules, such as fat attenuation and diffuse, central, or lamellated calcifications, were also taken into account in order to spare the patient unnecessary radiation exposure from multiple follow-up studies.
Statistical analysis
All variables are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Continuous variables were compared with either Student's t-test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Qualitative variables are presented as numbers and proportions and were compared using Fisher's exact test. All P values were two sided, and statistical significance was established at P <0.05.
Study population
Table 1 lists the demographic and clinical features of the 173 consecutive patients we enrolled (127 males; mean age 59 ± 10 years). Of these, 112 (65%) had paroxysmal AF, while 61 (35%) had long-standing/persistent AF. At the time of the procedure, 19 (11%) patients were active smokers, 67 (39%) were former smokers, and the remaining 87 (50.3%) patients were non-smokers.

Collateral findings and their impact
All patients successfully underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan without complications. We detected 164 collateral findings in 97 patients (56%). The mean follow-up of the study was 17 ± 5 months. We identified as clinically significant 72 findings in 57 patients (33% of the total population, 59% of the population with collateral findings); of the 173 patients, 49 patients (28%) underwent further investigations and in 17 (10%) this led to therapeutic decisions. Diagnostic work-up included 50 CT scans, 16 ultrasound studies, 3 conventional radiographs, 3 mammographies, 4 MRI studies, 7 PET-CT scans, 5 bronchoscopies with transbronchial biopsy, and 10 provocative cardiac exercise tests. Table 2 presents the location of incidental findings and Table 3 summarizes clinically significant findings with the additional work-up and therapeutic consequences they implied.

The additional time spent by the radiologists for the study of collateral findings consisted of a mean of 7 ± 3 min: 2 ± 1 min were needed to reconstruct the second dataset of the chest CT with a larger FOV, while 5 ± 2 min were involved in reading the whole CT to look for all the collateral findings.
On the basis of CT findings, we decided not to proceed with AF ablation in one patient due to a diagnosis of lung cancer, in one patient with inter-atrial shunt, and in six patients due to pneumonia. The procedure was instead merely postponed during the same hospital stay in 10 patients who required provocative tests for suspected myocardial ischaemia. All other patients (90%) underwent a successful AF catheter ablation at the scheduled time.
Pulmonary collateral findings
Pulmonary abnormalities were found in 67 of 173 patients (39%); 39 (58%) lesions were identified as clinically significant. These included six patients with pneumonic consolidations requiring antibiotics and follow-up with CT or chest X-rays.
A nodule >8 mm in size was found in three patients, in two of whom further investigations (PET-CT, follow-up CT) showed substantial 2-year stability and ruled out malignancy. In the remaining one patient (0.6%), however, the nodule was accompanied by satellite lymphadenopathy and PET-CT, bronchoscopy, and biopsy led to a diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma (T1N2M0), which was treated surgically (Figure 1).
A total of 26 nodules ranging 5–8 mm in size were found in 23 patients (13%). Of these, 8 patients required no further investigation (3 because of previously documented 2-year stability, 5 because of a benign pattern of calcification), while in the other 15 follow-up CT showed nodule stability in 9 patients and nodule change in 6 patients. Of these six, in two patients a diagnosis of pneumonia was established because of nodule growth, development of new densities, and air bronchogram sign; the remaining four underwent PET-CT and bronchoscopy-guided biopsy, so that bronchogenic carcinoma was ruled out in two patients and confirmed by subsequent surgery in the last two.
Nodules ≤4 mm in size were considered as clinically significant in four patients with a history of smoking; of these, two required no further investigation because of previously documented 2-year stability, while in the other two follow-up CT showed nodule stability too.
A total of five lung nodules (three in the 5–8 mm range, two in the ≤ 4 mm in size) were detected in five patients who already had such lesions documented at previous CT studies; in these patients, the chest CT performed for AF ablation allowed us to establish 2-year stability of the nodules and was considered as a follow-up CT, thus sparing the patients further investigations.
Taking smoking habit into consideration, 42 of 58 (72%) nodules were detected in smokers or former smokers and 16 of 58 (28%) in non-smoking patients (P = 0.01). Nodules that required follow-up because they were ≥5 mm in size were also significantly more frequent in smokers or former smokers (22 of 29, 76%) compared with non-smokers (7 of 29, 24%) (P ≤ 0.001).
Extra-pulmonary thoracic collateral findings
Extra-pulmonary thoracic collateral findings were observed in 21 of 173 patients (12%) and were all judged as not clinically significant. They included 6 cases of focal pleural thickening, 4 bronchiectasis, 3 thymic remnants, and 26 swollen lymph nodes, all of which were calcified and <1 cm in diameter.
Breast collateral findings
In three women (7% of the female study population) breast nodules were detected, none of which showed signs of malignancy on mammography and ultrasound. These women continued their follow-up in specialized centres.
Cardiovascular collateral findings
Cardiovascular collateral findings were observed in 19 of 173 patients (11%). Evaluation of coronary anatomy requires ECG synchronization and was therefore possible only in 106 patients (61%) who were in sinus rhythm at the time of CT. In 10 patients CT showed coronary calcification of one or two arteries; all patients underwent a provocative exercise test that excluded stress-induced myocardial ischaemia. Four patients had a dilated thoracic aorta: in two cases the diameter was <4 cm, and no further investigation was deemed necessary, whereas in the other two it was still <5.5 cm and stable on follow-up CT angiography, so that there was no indication to surgery. Three pericardial effusions were treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and shown to have regressed on follow-up echocardiography. A case of inter-atrial shunt and anomalous connection of right superior PV into right atrium was detected; this patient required surgery correction (Figure 2). A common origin of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery was also detected. Cardiac or aortic features that had already been observed by transoesophageal echocardiogram were not considered as CT incidental collateral findings.
Abdominal collateral findings
Abdominal collateral findings were observed in 27 of 173 patients (16%). The most frequent were liver abnormalities: focal lesions in three patients, haemangioma in three, cysts in five, steatosis in five, and parenchymal calcification in two (Figure 3). Nine of these findings required further evaluation with ultrasound. In the three patients with focal lesions ultrasound examination confirmed the lesions as cysts in two patients and as haemangioma in one case. Haemangioma and cysts detected on CT were confirmed by ultrasound. A parenchymal calcification was eventually found to be a haemangioma. All other hepatic lesions, as well as the incidental findings identified in abdominal organs other than the liver, were not clinically significant.
Spinal column collateral findings
Spinal column lesions were discovered in 9 of 173 patients (5%). Of these, four were vertebral fractures, which STIR MRI sequences identified as chronic in two cases (requiring no further action) and recent in the other two. The latter were treated with orthopaedic corset for fracture stabilization.
The main result of our study is that contrast-enhanced chest CT imaging allowed detecting clinically significant collateral findings in about one-third of patients in 'apparently' good health. Of note, in 1.7% of cases, the detection of a collateral finding allowed early diagnosis and treatment of a potentially life-threatening condition such as lung cancer.
Computed tomography studies of the heart are being performed with increasing frequency as the preferred imaging method to plan and perform AF catheter ablation,5,6,19 but while this entails irradiation of almost the entire chest, only a small FOV focused on the heart is routinely analysed in some detail. However, a larger FOV can be reconstructed from the raw data subjecting the patient to no additional radiation; in this way plenty of information on the pulmonary parenchyma, mediastinum, breasts, spine, and upper abdomen becomes available. A crucial element is the likelihood of collateral findings in these organs and controversies abound as to whether the lungs and chest should be formally reviewed.20,21
Several studies elucidated the prevalence of non-cardiac abnormalities in cardiac CT studies, almost exclusively performed for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.8–15 Recently, Cademartiri et al.22 in a population of 670 patients undergoing CT scan for suspected coronary artery disease, described collateral findings in 79.4% of patients. Among these findings, 26.9% were classified as non-significant, 66.5% as mild, and 6.6% as compulsory for study; in 12.1% of patients' non-cardiac findings required additional clinical or radiological follow-up. In an another study, Onuma et al.9 reported that 23% of patients had extra-cardiac disease requiring additional work-up, and four cases (0.8%) of malignancy were revealed. Similar previously published studies were carried out on electron beam CT examinations. Horton et al.23 reviewed the scans performed with a small FOV including just a portion of the chest, therefore resulting in a 7.8% rate only of significant findings. In another study by Hunold et al.24 53% of the study subjects had extra-coronary abnormal findings, but analysis was limited to the mediastinal windows, therefore discarding any possible evidence on pulmonary parenchymal nodules. In summary, the proportion of patients with at least one imaging abnormality requiring further investigation or follow-up varies widely among different studies, but, rather homogeneously, almost half of all collateral findings consisted of suspect pulmonary nodules. Malignancy is revealed in a percentage ranging from 0.2 to 1% of patients.10,22
These data are corroborated by our study: over a 17 ± 5 month follow-up we investigated 173 patients, of whom 94 showed collateral findings. Thirty-three per cent of the patients had clinically significant findings, often needing additional work-up and, in three patients, previously undiscovered early-stage bronchogenic carcinoma was diagnosed. In comparison with the relevant literature, in our population a higher incidence (1.7%) of malignancy was observed. This feature is particularly significant if we consider that such an incidental finding has been reported to improve the 10-year survival rate in the 2006 paper by the Early Lung Cancer Action Program Investigators dealing with patients with stage I lung cancer detected on CT screening.25 The higher prevalence of malignancy in our population is probably due to a systematic analysis of almost all pulmonary parenchyma, including lateral lung fields, which are often excluded from routine cardiac CT scanning.
We discovered no case of ischaemic heart disease in our study, even though it is well known that AF is associated with various cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease.4 While we observed 10 cases of significant coronary calcifications on CT, a provocative exercise test excluded inducible myocardial ischaemia in all patients. This result might be explained by the fact that a detailed history was collected before considering AF catheter ablation in order to exclude all possible secondary causes of AF as well as relevant co-morbidities. Also, coronary CT imaging is infeasible in patients who are not in sinus rhythm.
Regarding the secondary end-point of our study, incidental findings on the preliminary chest CT scan led us to postpone AF ablation during the same hospital stay in 10 patients and convinced us not to go ahead with the procedure in 8 patients. We should also remark that in no patient CT found intra-atrial thrombosis (a clear indication to postpone ablation), as it was reasonably expected considering that all patients underwent a preliminary transoesophageal echocardiogram to rule out the presence of thrombi in the LA or LAA before CT scanning. Even if transoesophageal echocardiogram may be considered not strictly necessary in patients undergoing cardiac CT scanning, it should be stressed that studies comparing these two techniques are not conclusive and that transoesophageal echocardiogram is nowadays a robust gold standard which, at the moment, cannot be replaced by CT scan.26
On the other hand, CT scan is universally considered the gold standard for the visualization of adjacent intra-thoracic structures and vessels7 and the incidental detection of subclinical organ disease is, as mentioned above, a growing issue.8–15,22 In the work of Lacomis et al.7 a direct comparison of CT and MRI for characterization of the posterior LA wall suggested that the techniques provided comparable image quality and information but, notably, a suspect pulmonary nodule was identified only by CT scan. Magnetic resonance imaging equipment is surely less widely available than CT equipment, even when considering the most recent CT technology, and MRI is sometimes poorly tolerated by patients, primarily due to the duration and confinement associated with the exam.
One last consideration regarding the likelihood of collateral findings needs to be discussed. When engaging a diagnostic work-up, the risk of unwanted effects carried by each procedure must be taken into account. In this particular case, contrast medium-induced complications (immune-mediated reactions, contrast-induced nephropathy), as well as the lifetime attributable risk of cancer related to exposure to ionizing radiation, represent the main counterpart of diagnosing otherwise unrecognized conditions. For that reason, a risk/benefit analysis on a large population, which takes into account the amount of follow-up examinations required for patients with clinically significant collateral findings, would be worthwhile.
We recognize that our study has some obvious limitations. First, the duration of clinical follow-up was relatively short at 17 ± 5 months. As the standard approach to make certain that a low-risk pulmonary nodule is benign is to follow it up to demonstrate stability over at least 2 years, a shorter follow-up time might have led us to underestimate the significance of such extra-cardiac findings. Also, prognostic significance has only been determined indirectly by considering the advantage of an early diagnosis of lung cancer, since the long-time mortality and adverse event rate have not been investigated.
Secondly, technical limitations might have prevented visualization of some clinically relevant collateral findings. For example, because the FOV extended from the diaphragmatic domes to the carina, the pulmonary apexes were left out.
We also recognize that a cost/efficacy analysis was not performed in the present study.
The use of chest CT for image integration in AF ablation may act as a screening tool for otherwise unrecognized clinically significant conditions of the heart, lungs, and other visualized organs. These collateral findings may provide important and potentially decisive information for the clinical management of patients and their survival. For this reason, reading radiologists should interpret chest CT scans for image integration in AF ablation extensively, rather than just in reference to the electrophysiological procedure, as this may avoid delays in the diagnosis and treatment of potentially curable life-threatening diseases.

Bean there: Coffee tasting proves far harder than assessing wine
- From: The Australian
- February 25, 2014
I'M standing in front of six small white bowls of freshly brewed coffee in the "cupping" room at Market Lane, one of Melbourne's leading small-batch coffee roasters.
On the other side of the table Jason Scheltus, one of the partners in the business and head roaster, is bent over another row of six identical bowls, hands clasped behind his back in concentration, intently inhaling the aromas of each brew.
I've come to learn how to taste coffee. In my day job as wine writer for this newspaper, I'm immersed in the rituals and jargon of swirling, sniffing, sipping and spitting a line-up of spicy shirazes or cheeky chardonnays. But coffee tasting is an undiscovered country - and, as I'm quickly finding out, it's a far more convoluted and precise process than any wine tasting I've ever been to.
"We do coffee cuppings for a number of reasons," says Scheltus. "We do it when we're evaluating batches of coffee beans we might want to purchase. We do it when we're evaluating how well we've roasted each batch of coffee. And we do cuppings for the public, to educate them about what different coffees and roasting styles taste like."
The first step in the process is to grind into a bowl exactly 12g of each of the six coffees under evaluation.
The taster then smells each bowl, assessing "dry aroma", looking for subtle differences and possible flaws such as a musty smell caused by mouldy beans. Then, exactly the same amount - 180ml - of just-boiled water at 92C is poured into each bowl, and the coffees are left to brew for a while.
"This is the international standard for assessing coffee," says Market Lane coffee educator Jenni Bryant.
"It's the way it's done all around the world. So when we say to our suppliers in, say, Brazil that we've tasted their coffee, they know exactly how we've tasted it.
"It's also a technique that you can use anywhere: imagine you're travelling in a remote part of South America - even if you have no electricity you can still taste coffee the same way."
After a few minutes, Scheltus and Bryant take a spoon and break the crust of coffee grounds that has formed on the surface of each bowl. As they do so, they bend over, their noses almost touching the liquid, and breathe deeply. But, unlike wine tasters, who can spend minutes swirling and sniffing, these coffee tasters move quickly on to sipping - because that's where the most important flavour information is found.
Scheltus spoons some of the clear brown liquid into his mouth with a sharp sucking sound, like a bad mannered guest slurping soup. "This cools the coffee down," says Bryant. "But it also sprays the coffee right across your palate so you can taste the sweetness and bitterness and acidity, and get a clear picture of the aromas."
This I'm familiar with.
You often see wine people making curious soup-sucking noises, to aerate the wine in their mouths and force aroma molecules into the retronasal passage at the back of the throat so that the olfactory bulb behind the nostrils can clearly perceive the wine's smells and flavours.
So I put my tastebuds and olfactory bulb to work on coffee number one.
Sip, slurp, suck, spit (like wine tasting, spitting is highly advisable during cupping: just imagine how wired you be after tasting six coffees in quick succession).
"Light?" I venture, uncertain. "A bit ... astringent ... um, austere?" I'm struggling for adjectives, not sure what I'm meant to be looking for.
"Hmm, interesting," says Bryant, smiling cryptically.
"Peanut skin," says Scheltus, absolutely nailing with his two-word description the coffee's delicate papery bitterness and slightly sweet nutty flavour.
"That's very typical of this Brazilian coffee; it's a combination of the variety of coffee bean, the altitude of the plantation, that kind of thing."
Again, we're in familiar territory: as every wine lover knows, where the grapes are grown - the terroir - and the variety of grape used both have a huge influence on the character and style of the wine produced. Coffee's the same - as the second sample clearly demonstrates.
Sip, slurp, suck, spit. It has a much brighter flavour: rounder, sweeter, more delicious, more balanced.
"Nectarine, peach - stone fruit," says Scheltus, nailing it again. "This is a higher grown coffee, from Bolivia, which is why it has more acidity and complexity."
By coffee number four, I'm either beginning to get the hang of it - or coffee number four is just easy to describe because it's bursting with character.
"Wow!" I say, on first sip. "Tropical fruit, but also a meaty flavour, like sweet ham. Durian? Complex. Incredible."
Scheltus smiles. "There's certainly a lot going on," he says. "It's Ethiopian coffee, from the Yirgacheffe region.
The beans go through a natural, uncontrolled fermentation process, which is why the coffee has all those wild flavours. But some roasters consider these characters a fault."
Again, the parallels with wine are strong. The influence of winemaking techniques can also be polarising: your "deliciously toasty" shiraz might be my "horribly over-oaked" shiraz.
As we taste the last coffee - a sample chosen to demonstrate the bitter charcoal taste of over-roasted beans - Bryant draws a final analogy with wine.
There's a huge difference between large volume popular wine brands, blended to provide a consistent drinking experience, and small wineries where every vintage is different. Coffee's the same, says Bryant.
"A lot of commercial coffee blends are roasted very dark to mask defects and provide consistency of flavour from one batch to the next," she says.
"We roast each batch of coffee just enough to showcase its unique flavour - and our customers recognise that the next batch is going to be different. What we're saying is, let's get excited about and celebrate these differences."

Can we agree that being driven is a bad thing?
Probably not right?
What I'm talking about is that all consuming angst that often consumes the creative to the point of self-absorption and beyond.
If you think that your life will be a failure if you don't achieve a specific goal, then in my mind you are heading down a road to hell.
It's not really about the dream, it's always meant to be about the dreamer.
The dreamer knows that there are many dreams, many roads, many challenges, failures and victories along the road they walk.
They are captivated not by achievement BUT instead by the process of exploration.

Bridge of Allan golf course requires a climb on several holes, but the golfer is rewarded with spectacular views over the Ochill Hills, the Forth Valley and north to the mountains of Tayside. Old Tom Morris designed this course in 1894 and it has stood the test of time well.
The first is an extremely challenging hole. A par three, it is 223-yards uphill with a stone dyke about 45 yards in front of the green - there are very few members who can carry the dyke!
Lay up short of the dyke and leave yourself enough space to chip over the wall to the flag.
Greenkeepers Day Saturday 15th October
Recently long standing member George Reid removed the bench from the 5th tee to his home and has completely renovated it.
George has replaced the spars, bolts and rebuilt it before returning it to the club.
George is a retired first class joiner, so needless to say, the quality of the job is 'there to be seen'
Thank you George.

First On EWN: WP & KZN demand Saru action on Jurie Roux
This comes after a draft report which alleges that Roux was involved in the misappropriation of funds.
CAPE TOWN – The Presidents of KwaZulu-Natal Rugby and Western Province Rugby, Graham MacKenzie and Thelo Wakefield, have called on South Africa Rugby Union (Saru) President Oregan Hoskins to provide urgent, necessary leadership to address the growing disquiet around CEO Jurie Roux.
The two are the first union heads to publicly voice their concern, telling EWN Sport that the allegations are effectively paralysing the sport and that Hoskins hasn't yet provided a clear plan to them of how to navigate the issue.
Wakefield, speaking from Cape Town, said, "As the president of a big union, first of all it's not good for the image of South African rugby. We have to think of the organisational image and defend that; secondly there's not a good atmosphere in rugby circles in South Africa at the moment.
"We are an international organisation, we deal with other international sides and organizations, and it's not good that every morning when we open the newspaper you read another chapter in the 'Jurie Roux saga'."
This comes after a draft KPMG report, commissioned by the University of Stellenbosch and obtained by Netwerk 24, alleging that Roux was involved in the misappropriation of funds to the tune of R35 million while employed there prior to joining SA Rugby.
It goes on to allege that he channeled money from the institution's reserve fund into the Maties Rugby Club.
Roux has yet to be questioned in this regard or indeed answer the allegations made in the report
MacKenzie concurs with Wakefield that the damage to the image of the sport requires immediate resolution, "I think any rugby leader would be worried. I must stress that the allegations, and they only that at this stage, are only things that we've seen in the media so we don't have any firsthand knowledge.
"But I do think that SA Rugby needs to come together, show some leadership and make rugby decisions to ensure that the reputational risk to the brand isn't any worse than it currently is."
This issue is exacerbated by the fact that Roux is a key member of the organisation's Executive Council who effectively facilitate the running of the professional game and one of their key roles at the moment is the selection of a new Springbok coach to succeed Heyneke Meyer, whose contract expired at the end of last year.
It's also understood that after initially backing Roux, Hoskins has now caused a split in the leadership structure after seeking his suspension pending an investigation into the matter.
Wakefield, meanwhile, is keen for the body to get on with its job of running the game and in order to do that wants Hoskins to address it as a matter of urgency.
"We have to rebuild the image of Saru, nationally and internationally, and the sooner we get to the bottom of this whole thing and we take decisive action on it the better for Saru.
"My humble approach to this would be to call a President's Council immediately, divulge all the information that I have at my disposal and then get the show back on track because it seems to me now that that we have no direction on this matter."
"We need to look at the serious things that we need to tackle in South African rugby and that is basically, I think, we are the only country in the world without a national coach, we need to attend to that; we have to rebuild the image of Saru again nationally and internationally.
"We can't all lose our heads and run around like chickens in a chicken-run. We have to get direction, we have to go and sit down and discuss the matter, fully, get some sanity back and take an informed decision on what the road ahead is all about."
Hoskins declined to comment when EWN contacted SA Rugby.
