Most potent of all perhaps in the ultimate result of the conference, was the presence of the French missionary bourg.
In 1070 it was surrounded with walls and became a "bourg" (borough).
Here, for a time, they were left in peace while the victors pillaged the rich palaces in the ancient bourg.
You look very much sprucer than you did the last time you were at bourg.
The bourg and his friends scented the stratagem in turn, and promptly divided themselves likewise.
The day before the bourg was taken Bertulph managed to effect his escape.
It seems to me you've spruced up mightily since the last time you came to the bourg.
The scite of the castle is still visible near the bourg of Montfort.
The prisoners which Roland had made at the grotto of Ceyzeriat had remained but one night in the prison at bourg.
I slept at Lyons, and on the morrow by ten in the morning I was at bourg.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the current practices used in patient facial photograph deidentification and set forth standardized guidelines for improving patient autonomy that are congruent with medical ethics and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. DESIGN: The anonymization guidelines of 13 respected journals were reviewed for adequacy in accordance to facial recognition literature. Simple statistics were used to compare the usage of the most common concealment techniques in 8 medical journals which may publish the most facial photographs. SETTING: Not applicable. PARTICIPANTS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Facial photo deidentification guidelines of 13 journals were ascertained. Number and percentage of patient photographs lacking adequate anonymization in 8 journals were determined. RESULTS: Facial image anonymization guidelines varied across journals. When anonymization was attempted, 87% of the images were inadequately concealed. The most common technique used was masking the eyes alone with a black box. CONCLUSIONS: Most journals evaluated lack specific instructions for properly de-identifying facial photographs. The guidelines introduced here stress that both eyebrows and eyes must be concealed to ensure patient privacy. Examples of proper and inadequate photo anonymization techniques are provided. RELEVANCE: Improving patient care by ensuring greater patient anonymity. 2016-06-01T00:00:00Z A transitional opioid program to engage hospitalized drug users Shanahan, C. W. Beers, D. Alford, D. P.

W.; Beers, D.; Alford, D. P.; Brigandi, E.; Samet, J. H. BACKGROUND: Many opioid-dependent patients do not receive care for addiction issues when hospitalized for other medical problems. Based on 3 years of clinical practice, we report the Transitional Opioid Program (TOP) experience using hospitalization as a "reachable moment" to identify and link opioid-dependent persons to addiction treatment from medical care. METHODS: A program nurse identified, assessed, and enrolled hospitalized, out-of-treatment opioid-dependent drug users based on their receipt of methadone during hospitalization. At discharge, patients transitioned to an outpatient interim opioid agonist program providing 30-day stabilization followed by 60-day taper. The nurse provided case management emphasizing HIV risk reduction, health education, counseling, and medical follow-up. Treatment outcomes included opioid agonist stabilization then taper or transfer to long-term opioid agonist treatment. RESULTS: From January 2002 to January 2005, 362 unique hospitalized, opioid-dependent drug users were screened; 56% (n = 203) met eligibility criteria and enrolled into the program. Subsequently, 82% (167/203) presented to the program clinic post-hospital discharge; for 59% (119/203) treatment was provided, for 26% (52/203) treatment was not provided, and for 16% (32/203) treatment was not possible (pursuit of TOP objectives precluded by medical problems, psychiatric issues, or incarceration). Program patients adhered to a spectrum of medical recommendations (e.g., obtaining prescription medications, medical follow-up). CONCLUSIONS: The Transitional Opioid Program (TOP) identified at-risk hospitalized, out-of-treatment opioid-dependent drug users and, by offering a range of treatment intensity options, engaged a majority into addiction treatment. Hospitalization can be a "reachable moment" to engage and link drug users into addiction treatment. doi: 10.1007/s11606-010-1311-3; PMID: 20237960 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] PMCID: PMC2896583 2010-08-01T00:00:00Z Inhibitory Effects of Robo2 on Nephrin: A Crosstalk between Positive and Negative Signals Regulating Podocyte Structure Fan, Xueping Li, Qinggang Pisarek-Horowitz, Anna Rasouly, Hila Milo Wang, Xiangling Bonegio, Ramon G.

Nephrin is a podocyte slit- diaphragm protein that functions in the kidney glomerular filtration barrier. Here, we report that Robo2 is expressed at the basal surface of mouse podocytes and colocalizes with nephrin. Biochemical studies indicate that Robo2 forms a complex with nephrin in the kidney through adaptor protein Nck. In contrast to the role of nephrin that promotes actin polymerization, Slit2-Robo2 signaling inhibits nephrin-induced actin polymerization. In addition, the amount of F-actin associated with nephrin is increased in Robo2 knockout mice that develop an altered podocyte foot process structure. Genetic interaction study further reveals that loss of Robo2 alleviates the abnormal podocyte structural pheno- type in nephrin null mice. These results suggest that Robo2 signaling acts as a negative regulator on neph- rin to influence podocyte foot process architecture. 2012-07-26T00:00:00Z Noninvasive Assessment of Antenatal Hydronephrosis in Mice Reveals a Critical Role for Robo2 in Maintaining Anti-Reflux Mechanism Wang, Hang Li, Qinggang Liu, Juan Mendelsohn, Cathy Salant, David J.

We recently showed that disruption of the Robo2 gene is associated with VUR in humans and antenatal hydronephrosis in knockout mice. However, the natural history, causal relationship and developmental origins of these clinical conditions remain largely unclear. Although the hydronephrosis phenotype in Robo2 knockout mice has been attributed to the coexistence of ureteral reflux and obstruction in the same mice, this hypothesis has not been tested experimentally. Here we used noninvasive high- resolution micro-ultrasonography and pathological analysis to follow the progression of antenatal hydronephrosis in individual Robo2-deficient mice from embryo to adulthood. We found that hydronephrosis progressed continuously after birth with no spontaneous resolution. With the use of a microbubble ultrasound contrast agent and ultrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration, we demonstrated that antenatal hydronephrosis in Robo2-deficient mice is caused by high-grade VUR resulting from a dilated and incompetent ureterovesical junction rather than ureteral obstruction. We further documented Robo2 expression around the developing ureterovesical junction and identified early dilatation of ureteral orifice structures as a potential fetal origin of antenatal hydronephrosis and VUR. Our results thus demonstrate that Robo2 is crucial for the formation of a normal ureteral orifice and for the maintenance of an effective anti-reflux mechanism. This study also establishes a reproducible genetic mouse model of progressive antenatal hydronephrosis and primary high- grade VUR. 2011-09-20T00:00:00Z Introducing Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research Matteotti, Ronald Gagner, Michel Becker, James http://hdl.handle.net/2144/3446 2016-07-30T18:58:43Z 2007-02-20T00:00:00Z Introducing Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research Matteotti, Ronald; Gagner, Michel; Becker, James 2007-02-20T00:00:00Z Giant Organ Confined Prostatic Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report Brahmbhatt, Jamin V.

INTRODUCTION Giant prostatic adenocarcinoma represents a rare and challenging treatment dilemma. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of an otherwise healthy 71-year-old African male who presented with a PSA of 5800 ng/ml and a prostate volume of over 1000cc. Unique aspects of this case include the size of the prostate, the apparent absence of distant metastases, and the safe usage of transabdominal biopsy of this mass. CONCLUSION We present this case report and review of literature to generate further discussion amongst readers as to management options for this difficult case. 2008-01-29T00:00:00Z Self-Reported Safety Belt Use among Emergency Department Patients in Boston, Massachusetts Fernandez, William G.

Safety belt use is 80% nationally, yet only 63% in Massachusetts. Safety belt use among potentially at-risk groups in Boston is unknown. We sought to assess the prevalence and correlates of belt non-use among emergency department (ED) patients in Boston. METHODS. A cross-sectional survey with systematic sampling was conducted on non-urgent ED patients age ≥18. A closed-ended survey was administered by interview. Safety belt use was defined via two methods: a single-item and a multiple-item measure of safety belt use. Each was scored using a 5-point frequency scale. Responses were used to categorize safety belt use as 'always' or less than 'always'. Outcome for multivariate logistic regression analysis was safety belt use less than 'always'. RESULTS. Of 478 patients approached, 381 (80%) participated. Participants were 48% female, 48% African-American, 40% White, median age 39. Among participants, 250 (66%) had been in a car crash; 234 (61%) had a valid driver's license, and 42 (11%) had been ticketed for belt non-use. Using two different survey measures, a single-item and a multiple-item measure, safety belt use 'always' was 51% and 36% respectively. According to separate regression models, factors associated with belt non-use included male gender, alcohol consumption >5 drinks in one episode, riding with others that drink and drive, ever receiving a citation for belt non-use, believing that safety belt use is 'uncomfortable', and that 'I just forget', while 'It's my usual habit' was protective. CONCLUSION. ED patients at an urban hospital in Boston have considerably lower self-reported safety belt use than state or national estimates. An ED-based intervention to increase safety belt use among this hard-to-reach population warrants consideration. 2006-04-27T00:00:00Z Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score: A New Paradigm for the Treatment of Thoracolumbar Spine Trauma Lee, Joon Y.

Greg; Harris, Mitchel B.; Brown, Andrew K.; Stock, Gordon H.; Baron, Eli M. BACKGROUND Contemporary understanding of the biomechanics, natural history, and methods of treating thoracolumbar spine injuries continues to evolve. Current classification schemes of these injuries, however, can be either too simplified or overly complex for clinical use. METHODS The Spine Trauma Group was given a survey to identify similarities in treatment algorithms for common thoracolumbar injuries, as well as to identify characteristics of injury that played a key role in the decision-making process. RESULTS Based on the survey, the Spine Trauma Group has developed a classification system and an injury severity score (thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score, or TLICS), which may facilitate communication between physicians and serve as a guideline for treating these injuries. The classification system is based on the morphology of the injury, integrity of the posterior ligamentous complex, and neurological status of the patient. Points are assigned for each category, and the final total points suggest a possible treatment option. CONCLUSIONS The usefulness of this new system will have to be proven in future studies investigating inter- and intraobserver reliability, as well as long-term outcome studies for operative and nonoperative treatment methods. 2005-08-01T00:00:00Z Internet Versus Mailed Questionnaires: A Randomized Comparison (2) Leece, Pam Bhandari, Mohit Sprague, Sheila Swiontkowski, Marc F.

J.; Guyatt, Gordon H. BACKGROUND Low response rates among surgeons can threaten the validity of surveys. Internet technologies may reduce the time, effort, and financial resources needed to conduct surveys. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether using Web-based technology could increase the response rates to an international survey. METHODS We solicited opinions from the 442 surgeon–members of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association regarding the treatment of femoral neck fractures. We developed a self-administered questionnaire after conducting a literature review, focus groups, and key informant interviews, for which we used sampling to redundancy techniques. We administered an Internet version of the questionnaire on a Web site, as well as a paper version, which looked similar to the Internet version and which had identical content. Only those in our sample could access the Web site. We alternately assigned the participants to receive the survey by mail (n=221) or an email invitation to participate on the Internet (n=221). Non-respondents in the mail arm received up to three additional copies of the survey, while non-respondents in the Internet arm received up to three additional requests, including a final mailed copy. All participants in the Internet arm had an opportunity to request an emailed Portable Document Format (PDF) version. RESULTS The Internet arm demonstrated a lower response rate (99/221, 45%) than the mail questionnaire arm (129/221, 58%) (absolute difference 13%, 95% confidence interval 4%-22%, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS. Our Internet-based survey to surgeons resulted in a significantly lower response rate than a traditional mailed survey. Researchers should not assume that the widespread availability and potential ease of Internet-based surveys will translate into higher response rates. 2004-09-24T00:00:00Z How good is the orthopaedic literature?

Chaudhry, Harman; Mundi, Raman; Singh, Ishu; Einhorn, Thomas A.; Bhandari, Mohit Randomized trials constitute approximately 3% of the orthopaedic literature Concerns regarding quality of the orthopaedic literature stem from a widespread notion that the overall quality of the surgical literature is in need of improvement. Limitations in surgical research arises primarily from two pervasive issues: 1) A reliance on low levels of evidence to advance surgical knowledge, and 2) Poor reporting quality among the high level surgical evidence that is available. The scarcity of randomized trials may be largely attributable to several unique challenges which make them difficult to conduct. We present characteristics of the orthopaedic literature and address the challenges of conducting randomized trials in surgery. 2008-04-01T00:00:00Z Cox-2: Where Are We in 2003? - The Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Bone Repair Einhorn, Thomas A. http://hdl.handle.net/2144/3416 2016-09-15T15:47:24Z 2002-10-21T00:00:00Z Cox-2: Where Are We in 2003? - The Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Bone Repair Einhorn, Thomas A. Prostaglandins are important mediators of bone repair, and cyclooxygenases are required for prostaglandin production. Data from animal studies suggest that both non-specific and specific inhibitors of cyclooxygenases impair fracture healing but that this is due to the inhibition of COX-2 and not COX-1. Although these data raise concerns about the use of COX-2-specific inhibitors as anti-inflammatory or anti-analgesic drugs in patients undergoing bone repair, clinical reports have been inconclusive. Because animal data suggest that the effects of COX-2 inhibitors are both dose-dependent and reversible, in the absence of scientifically sound clinical evidence it is suggested that physicians consider short-term administration or other drugs in the management of these patients. 2002-10-21T00:00:00Z Communicating Study Results to Our Patients: Which Way Is Best?

David; Mason, Zach D.; Einhorn, Thomas A.; Maciewicz, Rose A.; Newham, Pete; Foster, Martyn; Jackson, Sonya; Morgan, Elise F. INTRODUCTION. Although the presence of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) on magnetic resonance images is strongly associated with osteoarthritis progression and pain, the underlying pathology is not well established. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the architecture of subchondral bone in regions with and without BMLs from the same individual using bone histomorphometry. METHODS. Postmenopausal female subjects (n = 6, age 48 to 90 years) with predominantly medial compartment osteoarthritis and on a waiting list for total knee replacement were recruited. To identify the location of the BMLs, subjects had a magnetic resonance imaging scan performed on their study knee prior to total knee replacement using a GE 1.5 T scanner with a dedicated extremity coil. An axial map of the tibial plateau was made, delineating the precise location of the BML. After surgical removal of the tibial plateau, the BML was localized using the axial map from the magnetic resonance image and the lesion excised along with a comparably sized bone specimen adjacent to the BML and from the contralateral compartment without a BML. Cores were imaged via microcomputed tomography, and the bone volume fraction and tissue mineral density were calculated for each core. In addition, the thickness of the subchondral plate was measured, and the following quantitative metrics of trabecular structure were calculated for the subchondral trabecular bone in each core: trabecular number, thickness, and spacing, structure model index, connectivity density, and degree of anisotropy. We computed the mean and standard deviation for each parameter, and the unaffected bone from the medial tibial plateau and the bone from the lateral tibial plateau were compared with the affected BML region in the medial tibial plateau. RESULTS. Cores from the lesion area displayed increased bone volume fraction but reduced tissue mineral density. The samples from the subchondral trabecular lesion area exhibited increased trabecular thickness and were also markedly more plate-like than the bone in the other three locations, as evidenced by the lower value of the structural model index. Other differences in structure that were noted were increased trabecular spacing and a trend towards decreased trabecular number in the cores from the medial location as compared with the contralateral location. CONCLUSIONS. Our preliminary data localize specific changes in bone mineralization, remodeling and defects within BMLs features that are adjacent to the subchondral plate. These BMLs appear to be sclerotic compared with unaffected regions from the same individual based on the increased bone volume fraction and increased trabecular thickness. The mineral density in these lesions, however, is reduced and may render this area to be mechanically compromised, and thus susceptible to attrition. 2009-01-26T00:00:00Z Longitudinal Assessment of Cyst-Like Lesions of the Knee and Their Relation to Radiographic Osteoarthritis and MRI-Detected Effusion and Synovitis in Patients with Knee Pain Hayashi, Daichi Roemer, Frank W Dhina, Zineb Kwoh, C Kent Hannon, Michael J Moore, Carolyn Guermazi, Ali http://hdl.handle.net/2144/3414 2016-07-30T19:01:33Z 2010-09-15T00:00:00Z Longitudinal Assessment of Cyst-Like Lesions of the Knee and Their Relation to Radiographic Osteoarthritis and MRI-Detected Effusion and Synovitis in Patients with Knee Pain Hayashi, Daichi; Roemer, Frank W; Dhina, Zineb; Kwoh, C Kent; Hannon, Michael J; Moore, Carolyn; Guermazi, Ali INTRODUCTION. The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of cystic lesions and cyst-like bursitides in subjects with frequent knee pain and to assess their relation to radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) severity; to describe bilaterality and size fluctuation of the lesions over 6 months; and to assess relations between the prevalence of synovium-lined lesions communicating with the joint capsule and severity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected effusion and synovitis. METHODS. One hundred and sixty-three subjects (total 319 knees) aged 35 to 65 with chronic, frequent knee pain were included. Imaging with 3 Tesla MRI was performed at baseline and 6-month follow-up with the same protocols as those used in the Osteoarthritis Initiative. Severity of radiographic OA was assessed using the Kellgren-Lawrence grade (0 to 4). Severity of effusion and synovitis was graded 0 to 3 based on the Whole Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score system. The associations of cysts and cyst-like bursitides and severity of radiographic OA, MRI-detected effusion and synovitis were analyzed using logistic regression controlling for clustering by person. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine whether there was a significant change in the size of lesions between baseline and follow-up. RESULTS. At least one lesion (any type) was present in 222 (70%) knees. The most prevalent lesions were popliteal cysts (40%, 128/319), followed by subgastrocnemius bursitis (15%, 49/319) and proximal tibiofibular joint cysts (8%, 26/319). Bilateral lesions were seen in 49% of the subjects. Only popliteal cysts and subgastrocnemius bursitis showed a significant change in size (P < 0.001). No trend was observed between prevalence of any of the cyst-like lesions analyzed and the increasing radiographic OA severity. Increasing prevalence of subgastrocnemius bursitis was associated with increasing severity of effusion (P = 0.0072) and synovitis (P = 0.0033). CONCLUSIONS. None of the cyst-like lesions analyzed seems to be a marker of radiographic OA severity in knees with chronic frequent pain. Subgastrocnemius bursitis may be used as a marker of effusion/synovitis severity. Bilateral cyst-like lesions are relatively commonly observed in people with chronic knee pain. 2010-09-15T00:00:00Z Prevalence and Predictors of Health Service Use among Iraqi Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Laban, Cornelis J.

P. E.; Komproe, Ivan H.; de Jong, Joop T.V.M. BACKGROUND. A long asylum procedure is associated with higher prevalence rates of psychiatric disorders, lower quality of life, higher disability and more physical health problems. Additional knowledge about health seeking behavior is necessary to guide governments and health professionals in their policies. OBJECTIVE. To measure service use among one of the biggest asylum seekers population in the Netherlands and to assess its relationships with predisposing and need variables (including post-migration living problems). METHOD. Two groups were randomly selected: Group 1 (n = 143), less than 6 months and Group 2 (n = 151), more than 2 years in the Netherlands. Respondents were interviewed with fully structured, culturally validated, translated questionnaires, which contained instruments to measure psychiatric disorders, quality of life, disability, physical health and post-migration living problems. Use of preventive and curative (physical and mental) health services was measured and the relationship with predisposing and need risk factors was estimated with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS. A long asylum procedure is not associated with higher service use, except for mental health service use and drug use. Use of mental health services is, however, low compared to the prevalence of psychiatric disorders. Low quality of perceived general health and functional disability are the most important predictors of services use. Psychopathology predicts use of a medical specialist (non-psychiatrist), but does not predict mental health service use. CONCLUSION. A high percentage of asylum seekers with a psychiatric disorder is not getting adequate treatment. There is a mismatch between the type of health problem and the type of health service use. The various health services should work together in education, detection, referral and care in order to provide help to this group of patients. 2007-08-03T00:00:00Z The Physician Clinical Support System-Buprenorphine (PCSS-B): A Novel Project to Expand/Improve Buprenorphine Treatment Egan, James E.

Opioid dependence is largely an undertreated medical condition in the United States. The introduction of buprenorphine has created the potential to expand access to and use of opioid agonist treatment in generalist settings. Physicians, however, often have limited training and experience providing this type of care. Some physicians believe having a mentoring relationship with an experienced provider during their initial introduction to the use of buprenorphine would ease implementation. Our goal was to describe the development, implementation, resources, and evaluation of the Physician Clinical Support System-Buprenorphine (PCSS-B), a federally funded program to improve access to and quality of treatment with buprenorphine. We provide a description of the PCSS-B, a national network of 88 trained physician mentors with expertise in buprenorphine treatment and skills in clinical education. We provide information regarding the use the PCSS-B core services including telephone, email and in-person support, a website, clinical guidances, a warmline and outreach to primary care and specialty organizations. Between July 2005 and July 2009, 67 mentors and 4 clinical experts reported providing mentoring services to 632 participants in 48 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico. A total of 1,455 contacts were provided through email (45%), telephone (34%) and in-person visits (20%). Seventy-six percent of contacts addressed a clinical issue. Eighteen percent of contacts addressed a logistical issue. The number of contacts per participant ranged from 1–125. Between August 2005 and April 2009 there were 72,822 visits to the PCSS-B website with 179,678 pages viewed. Seven guidances were downloaded more than 1000 times. The warmline averaged more than 100 calls per month. The PCSS-B model provides support for a mentorship program to assist non-specialty physicians in the provision of buprenorphine and may serve as a model for dissemination of other types of care. 2010-05-11T00:00:00Z Prolonged Grief Disorder: Psychometric Validation of Criteria Proposed for DSM-V and ICD-11 Prigerson, Holly G.

Holly Prigerson and colleagues tested the psychometric validity of criteria for prolonged grief disorder (PGD) to enhance the detection and care of bereaved individuals at heightened risk of persistent distress and dysfunction. BACKGROUND. Bereavement is a universal experience, and its association with excess morbidity and mortality is well established. Nevertheless, grief becomes a serious health concern for a relative few. For such individuals, intense grief persists, is distressing and disabling, and may meet criteria as a distinct mental disorder. At present, grief is not recognized as a mental disorder in the DSM-IV or ICD-10. The goal of this study was to determine the psychometric validity of criteria for prolonged grief disorder (PGD) to enhance the detection and potential treatment of bereaved individuals at heightened risk of persistent distress and dysfunction. METHODS AND FINDINGS. A total of 291 bereaved respondents were interviewed three times, grouped as 0–6, 6–12, and 12–24 mo post-loss. Item response theory (IRT) analyses derived the most informative, unbiased PGD symptoms. Combinatoric analyses identified the most sensitive and specific PGD algorithm that was then tested to evaluate its psychometric validity. Criteria require reactions to a significant loss that involve the experience of yearning (e.g., physical or emotional suffering as a result of the desired, but unfulfilled, reunion with the deceased) and at least five of the following nine symptoms experienced at least daily or to a disabling degree: feeling emotionally numb, stunned, or that life is meaningless; experiencing mistrust; bitterness over the loss; difficulty accepting the loss; identity confusion; avoidance of the reality of the loss; or difficulty moving on with life. Symptoms must be present at sufficiently high levels at least six mo from the death and be associated with functional impairment. CONCLUSIONS. The criteria set for PGD appear able to identify bereaved persons at heightened risk for enduring distress and dysfunction. The results support the psychometric validity of the criteria for PGD that we propose for inclusion in DSM-V and ICD-11. 2009-08-04T00:00:00Z Development of a Multi-Layered Psychosocial Care System for Children in Areas of Political Violence Jordans, Mark J.

D.; Tol, Wietse A.; Komproe, Ivan H.; Susanty, Dessy; Vallipuram, Anavarathan; Ntamatumba, Prudence; Lasuba, Amin C.; de Jong, Joop T.V.M. Few psychosocial and mental health care systems have been reported for children affected by political violence in low- and middle income settings and there is a paucity of research-supported recommendations. This paper describes a field tested multi-layered psychosocial care system for children (focus age between 8-14 years), aiming to translate common principles and guidelines into a comprehensive support package. This community-based approach includes different overlapping levels of interventions to address varying needs for support. These levels provide assessment and management of problems that range from the social-pedagogic domain to the psychosocial, the psychological and the psychiatric domains. Specific intervention methodologies and their rationale are described within the context of a four-country program (Burundi, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Sudan). The paper aims to contribute to bridge the divide in the literature between guidelines, consensus & research and clinical practice in the field of psychosocial and mental health care in low- and middle-income countries. 2010-06-16T00:00:00Z Phase IIA Trial of 1% Topical Cidofovir for Treatment of High-Grade Perianal Squamous Intraepithelial Neoplasia in HIV-Infected Men and Women (AMC046) Stier, Elizabeth A.

BMW 6 Series:
BMW hasn't had a 6 Series coupe to sell since 1989. But that ends when both the coupe and convertible versions of an all-new 6 Series go on sale in spring. The 645 Ci has a 4.4-liter V-8 that gets 325 horsepower through any of three transmissions: a six-speed manual, a six-speed Steptronic automatic or a six-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox. The car hits 60 mph in roughly 6 seconds on its way to a top autobahn speed of 155 mph. A DVD navigation system comes standard.
The convertible top has a nifty feature. Unlike with many ragtops, the roofline of the hardtop is almost perfectly carried through on the soft top and the rear window retracts into the car's body. Pricing for the convertible starts at $76,995.
Mitsubishi Concept-E:
It's pretty close to the new Eclipse, due out in fall. Built on the same platform as the company's Galant sedan and Endeavor SUV, the coupe has a raked silhouette with the windshield far forward. Richard Plavetich, director of Mitsubishi's design center, says the inspiration for the car's shape was a pouncing cat. A 269-hp V-6 engine drives the front wheels through an automated six-speed manual transmission.
The new Corvette
General Motors is showing the sixth-generation Corvette — in red, of course. The most recent version of GM's most celebrated sports car, first sold in the 1950s, will be available in the fall.
The new Vette has a few styling cues from its predecessors but doesn't come off looking "retro."
Stationary headlamps, used in the '50s, replace retractable lamps used since 1962. The car's traditional four round tail lamps accent the rear. Rounded fenders recall Corvette's Stingray models. A center-mounted "egg crate" grille is a throwback to Corvettes from the 1950s.
The 2005 Corvette is powered by a new 6-liter, 400-horsepower V-8 engine capable of pushing the car 180 miles an hour if one can find someplace to go that fast without landing in jail. It has no traditional door handles. Instead, a keyless electronic entry system gets you in and out. The same device allows push-button starting.
Cup holders and heated seats are both firsts for Corvette in the 2005 edition.
If there is one feature left wanting in the Corvette, it's the interior. It's improved from the current car — which shares some instrument panel pieces with Cavalier — but uninteresting for a car expected to have a sticker price around $50,000.
Chrysler's new convertibles
Crossfire: Chrysler's Crossfire coupe, launched in August without much fanfare, is off to a slow start. But the company is hoping the addition of a convertible roadster in the spring will juice interest.
The car shares many parts and its basic platform with the Mercedes CLK. Powered by the same 3.2-liter V-6 found in the Crossfire coupe, the convertible is available with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. The soft fabric top folds electrically beneath the hard tonneau. Pricing hasn't been announced.
PT Cruiser: Further down the price ladder for ragtops, the PT Cruiser convertible arrives in spring, too. Prices will start at $19,995.
The open-air Cruiser will come in three trim levels, with engine packages starting with a 150-horsepower, 2.4-liter and a manual gearbox. A Touring edition will have an optional 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbo engine at $22,900. And a GT version will have a 220-horsepower turbo for $27,565.
Three European exotics
Ferrari Scaglietti: Ferrari is showing its 612 Scaglietti, a 540-horsepower, V-12 coupe that goes on sale in September and will be priced at an estimated $240,000. The Scaglietti uses lots of technology Ferrari employs with its Formula One racing teams, including all-aluminum chassis and body. It also has Formula One gearshift paddles on the steering wheel and a top speed of 196 mph.
Maserati Quattroporte: Exotic-car maker Maserati, which Ferrari bought in 1998, showed its Quattroporte sedan, marking the relaunch of the Maserati four-door in the USA. Available in the summer, it will be priced at about $90,000, competing with the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series sedans. Maserati also plans to add more franchises to its current 40-dealership group with the possibility of selling through Audi dealers. The Quattroporte is the first Maserati designed by Italian design powerhouse Pininfarina in 50 years.
Aston Martin DB9 Volante: Don't like Italian exotic sports cars? How about British? Aston Martin has already presold its production of DB9s, the new sports coupe that will go on sale in the spring. Now it is showcasing the DB9 Volante convertible. The Volante costs $168,000 while the hardtop goes out the dealer's door at $150,000. Aston is on a growth path under Ford ownership. The division sold 1,500 cars last year, but the DB9 will sell 2,000 by itself this year.

MEPs voted on amendments to "Follow-up on implementation of Bologna process"
The overarching aim of the Bologna Process is to create a European Higher Education Area (EHEA) based on international cooperation and academic exchange that is attractive to European students and staff as well as to students and staff from other parts of the world. The challenge is to keep the momentum on the process and also to ensure the autonomy of higher education institutions. It is still not clear where the process is precisely going. At the CULT meeting on 23 and 24 March, among other things, MEPs voted on the amendments to "the Follow-up on the implementation of the Bologna process" by Rapporteur Krystyna Łybacka (S&D, Poland) and the draft report was adopted. The next Bologna Follow-up group meeting will bring together 47 EHEA delegations, the European Commission, as well as the Bologna Process consultative members and partners in Yerevan on 14 and 15 May.y

Amid the impassioned debate over Proposition 8's ban on gay marriage, there's one point of consensus: Prop. 8's advocates ran the superior campaign last year.
But gay-marriage activists vow that it will be a different story when they put an initiative on the ballot to overturn Prop. 8. Even before Tuesday's ruling by the state Supreme Court upholding the ban – as expected – gay-rights advocates were gearing up. This was evident by the rallies throughout the state the evening of the decision.
Last year, Prop. 8 backers were better organized, had a clearer and more effective message, and took full advantage of grassroots volunteers. The Field Poll showed the measure trailing by 17 points in September, but the campaign rallied to win with 52 percent of the vote.
" 'No on 8' saw they were ahead and got complacent," said Allan Hoffenblum, whose Target Book handicaps state elections. "They weren't focused. They didn't know whether they wanted to talk about gays or civil rights or what."
Many gay-marriage activists agree.
"You'll see something very different this time," said Rick Jacobs, founder of the pro-gay marriage Courage Campaign.
Volunteers make a difference
Pro-Prop. 8 consultants relied heavily on grassroots volunteers, particularly the super-organized Mormons. The first statewide precinct walk Aug. 16, for instance, attracted 30,000 volunteers. Campaign manager Jeff Flintestimated 25,000 of those were Mormons.
Prop. 8 opponents, meanwhile, did little to mobilize its volunteer base until the campaign's final days, which also saw a tumultuous overhaul in its professional campaign staff. Activists in Orange County complained it was difficult to even get yard signs.
Jacobs, whose group claims 700,000 members, wants to build the next campaign from the grassroots up. Early efforts include polling members as to whether they think 2010 or 2012 is the best year to put the measure on the ballot – 82.5 percent picked 2010.
Since January, the Courage Campaign has trained more than 700 activists in four cities, with seven more training sessions planned. It has begun going door-to-door. Its training camps and online efforts are modeled after those used by then-Sen. Barack Obamalast year.
"We're training a grassroots army that will be in every community, and we did not do that last year," Jacobs said. "The challenge is to change people's minds, and you're not going to do that with TV ads."
Jacobs said the professional consultants will come later. Andrew Pugno, attorney for "Yes on 8," didn't sound too impressed.
"The political professionals seem to be getting ousted and replaced by volunteers," Pugno said. "We'll see how that works out."
Minority voters
Prop. 8 was especially popular among blacks and Latinos, who got little attention from the "No on 8" campaign. Jacobs has already begun to address that – a new ad titled "Fidelity" has been made in both Spanish and English.
As for the black vote, Hoffenblum said that running the ballot initiative in 2010 would help sidestep the issue.
"Jerry Brownat the top of the ticket is not going to attract as many African Americans to the polls in 2010 as Barack Obama will in 2012," He said.

|Original Continuity
Motobug was one of the original Badnik models. Largely ineffective against Sonic the Hedgehog, they were mainly useful as scouts.
Working for Robotnik
Motobug as one of Dr. Robotnik's Badniks and was merely just a messenger who spyed on the The Freedom Fighters and reported back to Robotnik. One time it reported that Sally Acorn and Sonic the Hedgehog were having a wedding, but it was just a play starring them. Motobug also joined in the fight but was wrecked badly. (StH: #18)
Robo Hobo Jungle
After Sonic being Roboticized and turned into Mecha Sonic. Motobug and the other badinks were decommissioned and sent to Robo Hobo Jungle. After Sonic was De-Roboticized and went to the jungle to arrest Nack the Weasel he and the other badniks attacked him but was quickly defeated. (StH: #40)
Island of Misfit Badniks
After that they were relocated to Island of Misfit Badniks were Sonic came to explore but was captured but escaped and quickly beat him up with the rest but Pseudo Sonic and Sonic went around the island charging at each other wrecking Psuedo Sonic and sinking the island with the Badniks faking their deaths. Motobug in the sea was seen hearing about the repairing of Pseudo Sonic by Crabmeat. But both were ambushed by Bottlenose of the FFFF and Motobug fell into Bivalve and was crushed by his jaws while the others were toppeled by the rest and was crushed by Fluke into a cube with the island. Motobug refugees were last seen working for Mammoth Mogul as buttlers in his Casino Night Zone. (StH: #170, #185, #187)
Appearing During Genesis
Motobug reappeared in Green Hill Zone during the events of Genesis, but this time there was more than one. It was the first Badnik that Sonic ran into while investigating the disappearance of animals. He then met a group of Motobugs, and one of them tried to attack Sonic. He easily destroyed them and animals came out from inside of them, including a Flicky. This answered Sonic's question of what happened to the animals. (StH: #226)
Worlds Collide
A Motobug briefly teamed up with a Mettaur when Eggman and Wily made a bet to see which robot would take down Dr. Light first. However, both robots had walked into each other, and thus began to fight each other instead. The robots would eventually destroy each other, and Dr. Light made a transmitter from their parts. (StH: #250)
The Motobug resembles more or less a robotic version of a real-life ladybug. Its body armor is purple and its face is painted yellow. When the world was temporarily reset by the Genesis Wave, the Motobugs that appeared had red body armor and blue faces. Its source of locomotion is reliant on the simple wheel mechanism located in its undercarriage. A small engine on the rear of the Badnik propels its wheel across the ground. Small pincers located below its head are its only source of defense.
Background information
- Motobug is based on the beetle based badnik of the same name (known as Motora in Japan) from the Sonic video games. They are often the first badniks encountered in the original Sonic the Hedgehog game in the Genesis and Game gear. As usual, the only difference is the color, as the game version is red with a blue face and yellow claws, instead of pink with a yellow face and grey claws. In either version of Sonic the Hedgehog, Motobug has only appeared in the Green Hill Zone, obviously used to test abilities. They only roll around and never even try to use their claws. Retools of Motobug have appeared in Undergound and Green Hills in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Game Gear only), Turquoise Hill and Mecha Green Hill in Sonic Chaos, and, curiously, as an obstacle in Hill Top in Sonic Drift 2.
- Up until StH #226, the only time Motobug's claws have been used effectively was in an Off-Panel in StH #147, where a long retired Motobug bonked writer Mike Gallagher and artist Dave Manak in the heads, and then punctured their superhero stomaches. However Off-Panel is not considered to be canon by this site's canon policy.

Sales of existing homes in Cape May and Cumberland counties jumped in November, and the National Association of Realtors on Thursday reported sales nationwide rose about 6 percent.
National home sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.04 million in November, the highest level in three years, the Realtor group said.
Locally, 278 existing homes were sold in Cape May County, 76 more than the previous November, according to local Multiple Listing Service data. In Cumberland County, 65 homes were sold, 17 more than November 2011.
Sales were steady in Atlantic County, with 195 in November this year and last, MLS data showed.
Cape May County Association of Realtors President Brian Groetsch Jr. said fall house-sale closings in seasonal areas typically reflect summer activity, when prospective second-home buyers on vacation look for properties.
"Today, with tighter lending regulations, closings that might have happened early in the fall in September and October are likely stretching out into November and December," said Groetsch, a broker-associate with Re/Max at the Shore.
"I would say it's also an indication of the fence-sitters who were waiting out the election as well. I'd like to think we'll see strong results in 2013 now that there's more clarity out there in terms of consumer confidence," he said.
Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the NAR, said in a statement that areas affected by Hurricane Sandy experienced disruptions in sales. However, overall sales in the Northeast increased in November, as storm-related problems were offset by gains in other areas, he said.
Grace Curran, broker/owner of Grace Curran & Family Real Estate in Sea Isle City, said investors — predominantly baby boomers looking for second homes — are returning to the market.
"They have been on the fence waiting for several different factors to happen, such as the bottom of the market, the election and interest rates staying low," Curran said. "They do not want to wait another four years to make this investment."
Nationally, homes sold at foreclosure or short sales at deep discounts represented about 22 percent of November sales, down from 24 percent in October and 29 percent in November 2011, the NAR reported.
In the region and the state, a second wave of foreclosures has been going through the processing pipeline. California-based foreclosure tracking firm RealtyTrac estimated in November it would take New Jersey about 17 months to work through the backlog.
"We're seeing demand so far at least keep up with what is coming onto the market," said Anthony D'Alicandro, president of the Atlantic City and County Board of Realtors and owner of Coldwell Banker Casa Bella Realtors in Linwood.
In the past few months, Groetsch noticed banks and lenders more willing to invest in property repairs and renovations to sell distressed homes at market value rather than at steep discounts.
For example, at a well-worn rental condo in Wildwood, Groetsch said, "They're investing in re-carpeting, repainting and touching things up so they can get full value of it," he said. "There will still be a case-by-case basis … but it's a good sign."

US warplanes continue to fire off air strikes in northern Iraq destroying militant artillery and killing some insurgents.
The bombings have allowed US forces to start humanitarian efforts, with combat jets dropping bundles of food and fresh drinking water to thousands of Iraqi citizens, trapped on a mountain top by the militants.
The United Nations was also urgently preparing a humanitarian corridor as the Federal Government offers Iraqi refugees priority placements in Australia's humanitarian refugee intake.
Australia has also upped its travel alert for Iraq to its most serious level — do not travel.
Laser-guided bombs, each weighing 227kg, have destroyed convoys belonging to jihadist group Islamic State militants.
Drones, remote piloted aircraft, are also being used and have struck a terrorists mortar position.
When Islamic State fighters returned to the site moments later they were attacked again and killed.
US President Barack Obama authorised the air strikes after Islamic State militants, which list about 60 Australians among its fighters, maintained a relentless two-month jihadist offensive, rampaging across northern Iraq and kicking tens of thousands from religious minorities out of their towns and villages.
Extremists have also taken hundreds of women captive and are treating them as slaves while families have been rounded up and slaughtered in mass executions.
The UN believes more than 500,000 people have been displaced by the violence since June, bringing the total this year top more than one million.
Several thousand others have had their lives threatened.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop backed the actions of the US in launching air strikes and said they were necessary to end the attacks by terrorists.
She said there was a humanitarian disaster unfolding in Iraq and the Government would assist the Iraqi government with whatever resources or assistance it needed, including political dialogue.
"We believe the humanitarian disaster in Iraq must cease so we support international efforts including the actions of the United States, to bring this to an end,'' she said.
"We are also deeply concerned that the conflict in northern Iraq is attracting Australian citizens to the region to train with this terrorist organisation to carry out terrorist activities in Iraq, but
equally worrying to return to Australia with the skills and capability of carrying out terrorist activities in Australia."
Mr Obama said despite his vows to end the war in Iraq he needed to step in to avert what he dubbed a looming "genocide".
They are his first ordered air strikes on Iraq since he withdrew troops in 2011 after a long and bloody occupation.
White House and the Pentagon officials said the strikes would be limited and the bombings would focus on situations where US forces or personnel could be in jeopardy and designed to deter the Islamic State.
"As the president made clear, the United States military will continue to take direct action against (the Islamic State) when they threaten our personnel and facilities," the Pentagon said.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said the extremists' had embarked on a "campaign of terror against the innocent" and the "grotesque and targeted acts of violence" had the hallmarks of genocide.
"For anyone who needed a wake-up call, this is it," Mr Kerry said.
The US military action is permitted in a least three locations: Baghdad, home to the US embassy, Baghdad international airport, where US troops are based, and Irbil, where a US presence includes 40 military advisers, hundreds of staff evacuated from the Baghdad embassy, and a recently expanded CIA station at the airport.
The US intervention is aimed at clawing back areas lost to the Islamic State including seizing a dam and forcing a mass exodus of religious minorities, leaving them without any food in searing heat.
Officials in Europe and Britain have pledged financial aid to support humanitarian efforts in Iraq.

Simply bullcrap!
Hey guys, remember a little while back I posted my frustration about this joke of a company called extremeconcealment? guess what?......guess who still haven't received his holster?? its going on 3 MONTHS and I cant even get a return phone call let alone a email! I got one email and one call back which was on my daughters b-day may 4th! the person said I would get my order within a week or two. I feel like I've been scammed really. I don't even know how to get my money back! I did get a email a couple weeks ago stating that my order is in "production". At first it was in "process". Man I am so pissed I have given up trying to contact this fraud company. Any suggestions?
If your transaction was through the mail, you can have it investigated by the postmaster at your local post office.
If you paid by credit or debit card, you can have the funds reversed by your bank.
Not too much you can do except have faith and hope for the best.
I've been waiting for a certain company to produce a much needed part for around 6 months now. I was beginning to question them. I received a response to an email I sent them the other day that was very encouraging. I cant go into any more detail (by law).
Things take time.
That's why I must hold it in my hands,look carefully at it,put down my money,and walk out the door with it!
Did you repost this in the "business" section?
Put the company's name in the title for easier search for others.
Crossing fingers
Today, ironically, I received a email form extremeconcealment. They claimed that my order will be shipped out on Friday so we shall see. Keep ya posted.
Are they shipping it by snail mail?:rolleyes:

Dr. DeGiorgio is an angel...
Chris DeGiorgio was my son David's doctor for many, many years. David was disabled and had severe seizures (from chemo), but he was able to see the aura of goodness surrounding Dr. D. He always hugged him and was never afraid of any procedures . Dr. D has the patience of the saint, the fortitude of a mountain climber and the will to cure everyone he meets. His patients and their problems are never far from his thoughts. Our beautiful David was lost to a seizure and Dr. D. took the loss as hard as we did. I think his dedication gave David many extra years, some of them wonderful. Chris DeGiorgio is everything a doctor should be.
