Prognostic value of semi-quantitative bacteruria counts in the diagnosis of group B streptococcus urinary tract infection: a 4-year retrospective study in adult patients
Bacterial and fungal diseases
Semi-quantitative bacteruria counts (s-QBC) are important in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) due to most uropathogens. The prognostic value of s-QBC for diagnosis of UTI due to group B streptococcus (GBS) is unknown. In this study, we assessed the value of s-QBC for differentiating acute GBS UTI from asymptomatic bacteruria (ABU), independent of other potential prognostic indicators.
Medical record review and urinalysis (UA) values for 1593 patients who had urinary GBS isolated (103 to ≥105 CFU/ml) during a four-year period were analyzed using binary logistic regression to determine the predictive values of s-QBC, age, and gender for infection category (acute UTI, ABU) based on the clinical diagnosis.
s-QBC alone had a strong predictive value for infection category but only for ABU. Multivariate logistic regression showed similar predictive power of s-QBC for infection category using age as a co-predictor, which was also independently associated with infection category. Typical s-QBC cut-off values that are commonly used in diagnostic settings had no significant power in predicting infection category. Among other UA measures, proteinuria and hematuria were significantly associated with acute infection.
Together, these data show that s-QBC is not useful in the differential diagnosis of GBS UTI. Among the patients in this study, age was an equally effective prognostic indicator compared to s-QBC for identifying high- and low-risk patients for acute GBS UTI. Collectively, these findings indicate that age-based associations may be equally as useful as s-QBC for predicting infection category in the setting of adult patients with GBS-positive urine cultures.
Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases of humans. One in three women will contract a UTI in their lifetime
Gram-positive bacteria including enterococci, staphylococci, and streptococci are also important uropathogens. These organisms are less prevalent compared to Enterobacteriaceae but constitute major contributors to the global burden of UTI
Diagnostic strategies and use of the recommended treatment guidelines for bacterial UTI varies substantially between clinicians
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of s-QBC in the diagnosis of acute GBS UTI in the setting of adult patients with urine cultures positive for this organism. We retrospectively analyzed data for the largest cohort of patients described to date in order to examine whether s-QBC is useful as a predictor of acute GBS UTI independent of other variables. The findings show that s-QBC is not useful in the prediction of infection category, and suggest that age-based associations may be equally as valuable compared to s-QBC for the differential diagnosis of acute UTI and ABU due to GBS. This study represents the first analysis of the role of s-QBC in the diagnosis of GBS UTI, and despite some limitations, the findings reported here provide useful new insight into the interpretation of s-QBC values for GBS UTI.
Study design
This study was conducted using clinical and laboratory data from a single-center analysis of GBS UTI in patients at University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Hospital conducted between August-2007 and August-2008
Study participants
The study subjects were adult patients (>18 yrs) encountered at UAB Hospital and surrounding clinics who underwent clinical and microbiological assessment for UTI because of symptoms indicating infection or as part of routine patient screening. Urine samples were obtained as clean-catch voided or catheterized samples from all patients who underwent assessment for UTI during the study period. This included inpatients, patients that were evaluated in the emergency department, and patients from various University Hospital outpatient clinics. In cases where GBS was cultured from urine (any count, single organism and mixed cultures) the medical records for each patient were reviewed for presenting symptoms at the time of sample collection and demographic data were recorded. Potential prognostic indicators were collected by medical record review to encompass, on average, the three-week period either side of the date when the sample was collected. A provisional diagnosis of acute GBS UTI was defined by the presence of single-organism GBS bacteruria (any count; limits of detection, 103 to ≥105 CFU/ml) with ≥1 symptom that included dysuria, increased urinary frequency and/or urgency, fever >38°C, flank pain and/or lumbar tenderness. All GBS isolates cultured from urine were identified by typical colony morphology on BBL trypticase soy agar with 5% sheep blood (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ), tested for catalase, and grouped using the Remel PathoDx latex agglutination kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lenexa, KS).
In cases where urinalysis (UA) was undertaken as part of the diagnosis, acute UTI was confirmed on the basis of positive urinary leukocyte esterase and significant pyuria (≥107 white blood cells/L; non-spun). Thus, the case definition for acute GBS UTI in this study was symptomatic patients with a s-QBC of any level and UA findings consistent with (C/W) acute infection. This definition was taken as appropriate since acute UTI has been described in patients with s-QBC as low as 102 CFU/ml in a prior study
Data analysis
In the first stage of the statistical analysis, to determine the overall predictive ability of s-QBC for differentiation of acute GBS UTI from ABU, a number of univariate logistic regression models were applied. These models examined the independent effects of s-QBC, age, and gender on infection category based on the clinical diagnosis. The variables included were age, gender, s-QBC, and infection category (acute UTI and ABU). Specific interactions between potential prognostic factors were subsequently evaluated using a multivariate logistic regression model in which all variables were included to determine whether there existed any significant relationships between each of the individual potential prognostic factors in the prediction of infection category. The mean age and s-QBC for patients in different infection categories were compared using an Independent Sample t-test.
In the second stage of data analysis, we investigated a subset of study subjects for whom UA testing had been undertaken as part of the diagnosis. For all of the cases that had UA performed, we analyzed the potential relationships between s-QBC and other laboratory variables using a multivariate logistic regression model to determine any significant interactions in the prediction of infection category. The additional variables included were UA measures of specific gravity, pH, proteinuria, hematuria, glucose, ketones, and bilirubin. All statistical analyses were carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics software (Version 19.0). A level of significance of p < 0.05 was selected for all of the analyses.
Study subjects
A total of 1593 patients had GBS isolated from urine during the study period. Within this cohort, 573 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria and were assigned to either one of the two infection category groups, acute GBS UTI or ABU. The majority of the 1020 residual subjects were excluded due to the isolation of multiple organisms, or in some cases, due to unobtainable medical records. Gender and age data for the 573 study participants are shown in Table
Bacteruria counts
The mean s-QBC for patients with acute GBS UTI was 63,980 ± 3,013 CFU/ml, which was significantly higher than patients with ABU (46,279 ± 1,768 CFU/ml; p≤0.001) (Table
The differences in mean age and s-QBC values between patients in different infection category groups related to women more so than men. Comparisons of mean ages, divided according to gender, showed a significantly higher mean age of women with acute UTI (50.8 years) compared to women with ABU (39.7 years; p<0.001). While the mean age of men with acute UTI was also higher (58.7 years) compared to men with ABU (51.5 years), this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.151). Collectively, these data show that acute GBS UTI is associated with increased age in women, but there is no significant difference in the mean age of men with acute GBS UTI versus ABU.
Mean s-QBC values for women with acute UTI (64,369 ± 3,169 CFU/ml) were significantly higher than women with ABU (46,460 ± 1,181 CFU/ml) (p<0.001). This was not true for men (Table
Potential prognostic indicators
Initial univariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between s-QBC and infection category among all study subjects (Table
We also analyzed potential relationships between s-QBC, age, and gender for the prediction of infection category using a multivariate model with the results shown in Table
We next analyzed whether an age-based cut-off might increase the predictive power of s-QBC for infection category. For this, we initially applied a cut-off of 40 years, which we based on the finding that individuals aged 40 years or older in this study were at significantly increased risk for acute GBS UTI compared to ABU (OR 1.7, 95% CI, 1.3-1.9). However, we found no increase in the predictive power of s-QBC for acute UTI using this model. Further analyses of alternative age cut-offs revealed similar increased risks (35 years: OR 1.5, 95% CI, 1.3-1.7; 45 years: OR 1.6, 95% CI, 1.3-1.9; 50 years: OR 1.5, 95% CI, 1.2-1.8), but no significant effect towards predictive power of s-QBC. Collectively, these data show that age is a useful prognostic indicator for infection category in GBS UTI, however, it does not enhance the predictive power of s-QBC in the differential diagnosis of these infections.
In the second stage of the statistical analysis we investigated a subset of 245 subjects for whom UA testing had been undertaken as part of the diagnosis. The laboratory findings from UA for these 245 patients, divided according to infection category, are shown in Table
The principle finding of this study is that in adult patients with acute GBS UTI, while mean s-QBC values are higher than in patients with ABU, these measures are not useful in distinguishing between these conditions. These findings are noteworthy given the widespread application of s-QBC values for identifying acute UTI in patients who are culture-positive for various organisms, including GBS. The finding that s-QBC is not a significant prognostic indicator for acute GBS UTI has practical implications in terms of disregarding low s-QBC values in GBS-positive patients. Low-count s-QBC is sometimes associated with acute infection
Semi-quantitative urinary cultures have been reported in several studies in which over half of symptomatic patients exhibited s-QBC values lower than the traditional cut-off of 105 CFU/ml often used for defining significant bacteruria
It is important to highlight the limitations of the current study, and the possible implications of lowering the s-QBC cut-off value for interpreting GBS culture-positive patients in the diagnostic setting of UTI. Contamination of specimens in the current work could not be suitably addressed due to the retrospective nature of the study and the unfeasibility of repeat urine cultures and catheterized samples for all patients in this setting. Overall, the number of catheterized samples was low (~10%), and related to both acute UTI and ABU patients. We defined ABU as the isolation of urinary GBS in pure culture from a single sample, which is an approach consistent with prior studies
Contamination and recovery of multiple organisms occurs in approximately half of all urine specimens that are positive for GBS
This study also suggests that age is a useful prognostic indicator for predicting acute GBS UTI, perhaps equally so as compared to s-QBC. Despite this, age still only identified 3/147 acute GBS UTI patients in our patient cohort based on a logistic regression model. The age measure was confounded in our study because many of the urine specimens obtained from asymptomatic women (~25-30%) were primarily related to perinatal screening of pregnant women. Nonetheless, patients over the age of 40 years were shown to be at significantly higher risk for acute GBS UTI compared to younger patients, suggesting age may be useful as a surrogate risk marker. This finding, against the background of high false positive rates for acute GBS UTI, highlights the need for careful interpretation of GBS-positive urine cultures. Using age as a prognostic tool could help to identify high-risk patients and partly address the difficulties in interpreting s-QBC values for GBS. Gender was not a prognostic factor for discriminating infection category, which may be more relevant to older persons and nursing home residents as discussed elsewhere
GBS infection in adults is often associated with diabetes, which is considered a risk factor for disease due to this organism
This study shows that s-QBC is not useful as a prognostic measure in the diagnosis of acute GBS UTI. Whilst many laboratories continue to disregard s-QBC values <105 CFU/ml some are now using a threshold of ≥103 CFU/ml for voided specimens containing uropathogenic bacteria to increase the sensitivity of detection. This would be appropriate for GBS. This study also demonstrates that age over 40 years is a useful surrogate marker for identifying high risk patients for acute GBS UTI. Further investigations of ways to improve basic diagnostic approaches for these important infections are now warranted.

Bynum leads Pistons into postseasonApr 11, 2009 - 3:45 AM AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (AP) -- For the last several years, the Detroit Pistons have spent early April trying to clinch the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
This year, they had a smaller goal on their minds.
On Friday, the Pistons got 46 points from their bench and clinched a playoff spot with a 100-93 victory over the New Jersey Nets.
"We're getting better and better every game," said reserve guard Will Bynum, who led the Pistons with 20 points. "They said that whichever team is playing the best going into the playoffs is pretty dangerous. Hopefully, we can be that team."
Detroit (39-40) will be in the postseason for the eighth straight year, but still needs two wins in its final three games to finish with a .500 record.
"We've been through some rough times and struggled this year," said first-year coach Michael Curry. "We need to take some of the things we've learned and use them in the playoffs. We're still going to be in there -- just not with the kind of seed we're used to having."
New Jersey (32-47) lost for the eighth time in 10 games as coach Lawrence Frank went with a young lineup for much of the game. Rookie Ryan Anderson led the Nets with 20 points, one short of his career high, and fellow first-year players Chris Douglas-Roberts and Brook Lopez had 16 each.
"I wanted to put some guys in, guys in different positions so they could feel what it is like," Frank said. "So instead of Vince (Carter), we went to Chris and Brook in the fourth quarter, and I thought Ryan gave us a big life from the middle of the third quarter on."
The Pistons never trailed, and were up by as many as 19 in the first half. Detroit outshot the Nets 61 to 36 percent and outrebounded them 24-13 to take a 54-38 lead into intermission.
"The second unit really stepped it up," said Arron Afflalo. "Will was great, but we were all getting stops and that's how we built up the lead."
Anderson's 3-pointer pulled the Nets to 76-68 in the final minute of the third period, but Tayshaun Prince's dunk moved the margin back to 10 at quarter's end.
New Jersey got to 96-91 in the final minute, but Richard Hamilton clinched the game with a 3-pointer.
"There was a lack of energy in the first half, but we kept playing tough," Lopez said. "Ryan kept us in the game, and CDR made some big plays late that gave us a shot."
Nets All-Star point guard Devin Harris left the game in the third quarter with a sore left shoulder and did not return.
He missed all five shot attempts and finished with one point, his lowest output since scoring a single point for the Mavericks against Atlanta on Feb. 26. 2007.
"We lost to them last week, but tonight we did a much better job against Harris and Carter," Curry said. "We were good at helping on both of them with our bigs."

At Drink Up, our mission is to get more people to drink more water more often. And to accomplish that goal, we're willing to do just about anything - including building a special kind of water fountain to help spread the word. Because while the Drink Up Fountain may look like a regular fountain, it sure doesn't sound like one. See what happens when these unsuspecting drinkers put their lips to the water.
As a special birthday gift, our good friends Q. Worthy, BJ Gray, Josh Banks, Sy. Smith and Maria Christiansen wrote us a birthday song called "River of Life", featuring Cam Anthony and Doug E Fresh.
September 12 is Drink Up's first birthday. So watch us celebrate the only way we know how.
Curtis Granderson, major league baseball outfielder, wants to spread the word and encourage kids and families across the nation to Drink Up! Watch this 15-second message to find out why.
Grammy award winning singer-songwriter John Legend wants us all to raise a glass and cheers to water. In this 15-second message Legend singles out drinking water as one of the healthiest choices we can each make every day because "you're going to drink something, and what you drink is up to you," so why not Drink Up?
The collaboration to encourage everyone to drink more water was formed between the Partnership for a Healthier America - which works with the private sector and PHA Honorary Chair First Lady Michelle Obama to make the healthy choice the easy choice for busy parents and families - and stakeholders across the public and private sectors who are dedicated to encouraging people to drink more water more often. You are what you drink - and when you drink water, you drink up.

- Target disease: Post Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL)
- Main partners (since project start): US Food and Drug Administration, USA; National Institutes of Health, USA; Ohio State University, USA; Nagasaki University, Japan; University of Osaka, Japan; GeneDesign Inc., Japan.
- Project Start: June 2014
- Funding: Department for International Development (DFID), UK; WHO-TDR (Demonstration Project).
Overall Objective:
CpG-D35 is being developed as a combination therapy for the treatment of complicated cutaneous leishmaniasis and post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL). Leishmania parasites are able to persist in host cells by evading or exploiting immune mechanisms. Modulating the immune response with CpG oligonucleotides may improve the effectiveness of chemotherapies. The project has four phases: production and characterization of GMP-grade CpG-D35, pre-clinical studies in two species to assess potential toxicities, Phase I clinical trials in healthy volunteers, and proof-of-concept clinical trials in patients for CpG-D35 and the combination of CpGD35 with chemotherapy.
Two studies, one in vitro and one in vivo, were initiated in 2016. The in vivo study aims to demonstrate if CpG-D35 – whether alone or in combination with antimonials chemotherapy – will lead to improved leishmania infection outcomes, compared with antimonials alone. Results are expected by mid-2017. The in vitro study aims to assess the stimulatory capability of CpG-D35 in both peripheral blood mononuclear cells and whole blood samples from patients with both CL, due to different leishmania species, and PKDL patients and to determine which host genes are modulated in these two conditions. Results are expected by the end of 2017.

The Adventures of Francelia Whitefoot
Alfonzo, the sophisticated but shallow and plagiarizing mouse, left his pregnant wife, Francelia, at the first sight of trouble--his supply of high quality cheese was cut off. Francelia was left to raise fourteen babies on her own. When Francelia disappeared suddenly, the animals in Sweetgrass Meadow came together to raise the children until Francelia figured a way to return home. The children grew up to be good citizens of Sweetgrass Meadow although they are slightly weird because of their upbringing. The four mice who were brought up by bullfrogs and toads, for example, seem to hop more than scurry as they move about.

Travis Baptiste: Toughing It Out to an M2O Victory
Last summer, Travis Baptiste stunned the water sports world when he won the stock category at the 2013 Molokai2Oahu World Championships (M2O). It wasn't his success that was surprising–as Baptiste has long been considered one of Hawaii's top young SUP talents–but his age: he had just turned 16. This time around at M2O, Baptiste's fellow competitors knew all about his capabilities, but the knowledge did nothing to help them, as the 17-year-old once again claimed the title of Stock Class Champion. But, as we found out from Baptiste afterwards, his title defense was no sure thing and in fact, the Maui native almost didn't put into the 'Channel of Bones' at all.
In the run up to this year's M2O, Baptiste's training was going well. In addition to putting in hours each week on his SUP and surf boards, he'd been spending a lot of time cross training in outriggers at Kihei Canoe Club. But then, two weeks before the biggest open ocean race of the year, things started unraveling when he got a sore throat.
"At first I thought I was just coming down with something, but it got so bad that I couldn't talk, eat or drink," Baptise said. "This sounds gross, but I had to keep spitting out saliva because I couldn't swallow."
Baptiste's doctor was so concerned that he sent him to the emergency room, where physicians found an olive-size abscess in the back of his throat. Though lancing the abscess provided some relief after the initial stinging from the procedure subsided, Baptiste lost seven pounds from being unable to eat.
For a lean paddler who's still growing, the weight loss would be quite a setback at any time. But, just before a 32-mile island crossing, it was a disaster.
"My training went downhill and I could hardly get out on the water," Baptiste said. "And when I did paddle, I couldn't go very far, had no speed, and had to sleep a long time afterwards."
Having put in so much prep time, Baptiste decided that he couldn't just abandon his M2O title defense. So, when fellow M2O champ Connor Baxter asked if he wanted a ride to the race start on his family's boat, Baptiste figured he'd go for it and see what happened. His throat had other ideas.
On the way to Molokai, Baptiste felt a searing pain again. Soon enough, it was so bad that again, he had difficulty swallowing. This was 48 hours before race time. A second trip to the emergency room failed to provide meaningful relief, and it took a knife pressed to the back of Baptiste's throat the next day to drain the abscess. At this point, most people wouldn't have even considered stepping on their board for a leisurely paddle, let alone competing in arguably the world's toughest downwinder against a field chock-full of talent. But then, Baptiste isn't most people.
"I had no idea if I could make it to the end of the race, but I just hoped my training would carry me through if I could get a good start," he said.
In the end, despite the weight loss, dehydration, and lack of sleep, that year of hard paddling was indeed enough, and then some. The 17-year-old didn't just win the 14' stock class for the second straight year, but also took fifth place overall, ahead of many more experienced racers who were competing on longer unlimited boards.
So, we asked Baptiste why he's drawn to the shorter boards like one of his mentors, Jeremy Riggs. "Racing an unlimited board is great, but it's a more challenging ride on a stock board." "I like getting toward the back of my 14-footer and hopping between the wind waves you get on a downwinder like Molokai. It's fun proving that a stock board can go fast, too."
Another factor contributing to the speed and sustained power that Baptiste showcased in winning back-to-back Molokai stock titles is the mileage he logged in different craft during the past year, particularly a six-man outrigger canoe. When we spoke with Baptiste, he was sitting under a tree cooling off with his mom, Judie, after completing a grueling 26-mile canoe race in which his team finished third.
"Paddling a heavier craft like a six-man outrigger has definitely made my SUP stroke more powerful and increased my endurance," Baptiste said. "That's what carried me through at Molokai this year even though I was sick."
In addition to his 4 a.m. solo workouts in the dark at Kihei Canoe Club and after school paddles, Baptiste is starting to expand his SUP reach beyond his local waters. A couple of weeks ago he accompanied his mentor and part-time coach, Danny Ching, to the 2014 Naish Columbia Gorge Paddle Challenge, where he finished ninth in the Double Down long distance event.
Baptiste and Ching have grown close over the years after first meeting at the 2010 Battle of the Paddle Hawaii, where Ching won the 5- and 10-mile events (the first of his clean sweeps in that year's two BOP competitions) and Baptiste won the boys 13 to 14 category. When race organizers presented Baptiste with a new board for his win, several friends wanted to buy it from him. Instead, Baptiste generously presented the board to a younger child.
"When Travis gave his board away, the boy had a huge smile, but Travis's was even bigger," Judie said. "Someone titled a picture of it 'The Gift of Giving' and that's just right. Danny was really impressed, and having gotten to know him the past few years, I have seen that he's just as generous."
When a bashful Baptiste took the phone back from his mom, he didn't want to talk about his own generosity, but rather what he's learning from Ching: "Watching Danny has given me an education on what it takes to reach the top and what it means to be a true waterman," he said. "It's not just what he does on the water—he's constantly paying his blessings forward by giving back. I've seen him sign a kid's hat and then give the pen back and ask the kid to sign his own hat. That makes people feel special."
While Baptiste wants to follow Ching's lead in SUP and lists a top 10 finish at BOP as one of his goals, he's not allowing his focus on the sport to exclude everything else from his life. Like most of the senior class at Baldwin High School, Baptiste likes to goof around with friends, eat a burger or two while he's "still young and can get away with enjoying food," and attend the school's football games on Friday nights (though unlike the rest of his crew, he's usually in bed by 9:00 pm so he's ready for those pre-dawn training sessions).
When he graduates, Baptiste will continue racing and plans to work at a Maui hotel leading canoe tours while studying business or hospitality and tourism at a college on the island. He's just a "normal kid," he claims. Yeah, a normal kid, who happens to have a couple of world championship SUP trophies on the mantel.

The Inevitable Mr. Romney
A transcript of the weekend's program on FOX News Channel.
Paul Gigot: This week on "The Journal Editorial Report," another good week for Mitt Romney. Has the former Massachusetts governor got the GOP presidential nomination all wrapped up, or is there an anti-Romney waiting in the wings? Plus, the Obama jobs bill fails in the Senate. Where does it go from here? All that, and Iran's terror plot. How should the U.S. respond to an assassination attempt on American soil?***

All videos coming to you from BM are now in HD, and so Bailey looks even more sensational as he lays back and pleasures himself for us. One of his favourites feelings is rubbing his fully hard prick through the fabric of his briefs. The outline it makes and the precum that stains them is a serious turnon for the young man. As it is for most us I'm sure! Bailey is one incredible looking British twink. Man I'd love to get down on that duvet with him. Wouldn't you?

Cas 53-39-4 White Powder Oxandrolone Anavar Pharmaceutical Raw Materials For Muscle Gain

Purity: 99%
Einecs No: 200-172-9
MOQ(minimum order quantity): 10gram
Standard: Enterprise Standard
Appearance: White crystalloid powder.
Usage: Can be used as pharmaceutical material, Anavar(Oxanabol) is good for power and for cutting purposes, except for mass or a lot of heaviness growing. Chemotherapy.
Anavar profile
Since anavar is the most popular oral anabolic steroids for female and male, let's discuss more about it. Anavar was first introduced in the Market in 1964 and the reason it gained popularity was its mildness, so mild in fact that it could be prescribed to women and even children. Anavar was usually prescribed to people who needed to gain weight after surgery, trauma or long term illness. In the body building community this steroid is often used in combination with more potent steroids in a cycle. The main purpose of Anavar is to maintain the lean muscle mass during weight loss. The maintenance of lean muscle mass in the body is Anavar's unique property so the bodybuilders either male or female who want to reduce the bulk and achieve a leaner and sleek look will find nothing better than Anavar.
Anavar Cycle reviews
Anavar (Anavar) is one of the mildest yet safest anabolic steroids of all time. As such a mild natured steroid this is one of the few that is very well-tolerated by most women, so much so that in many circles it is simply called "The Girl Steroid." Make no mistake, Anavar can and is used by many men successfully but for a male Anavar cycle it simply takes quite a bit to reap a reward and as we'll see this proves to be a little disadvantageous. Without question, regardless of sex Anavar is well suited for cutting cycles and this is perhaps its primary purpose for most individuals. Anavar is a very fast acting DHT oral anabolic steroid that greatly preserves lean tissue as well as enhances total metabolic activity. Yes, actual gains in tissue can be made, especially for the female user but it remains for most men a good Anavar cycle will be during a dieting phase.
Anavar Cycle for Bulking
While it can be used for off-season or growth phases most men will find an Anavar cycle to be a poor choice for their growing needs. The Anavar hormone is not well-suited for mass but at the same time any mass that does occur will be 100% lean tissue and that is a plus. Even so, as a very mild anabolic steroid it generally takes quite a bit of this hormone to get anything out of it in-terms of growth and as it is generally a high priced steroid this makes it often inefficient for this purpose.
Due to the fabulous gains in strength without gaining body weight of anavar, it is now commonly used by bodybuilders, weightlifters and power-lifters. This is very important for them because they don't want to end up in higher weight class.
As a DHT derivative, Anavar does not aromatize (convert to estrogen, which causes gynecomastia or male breast tissue). It also does not significantly influence the body's normal testosterone production (HPTA axis) at low dosages (20 mg).
When dosages are high, the human body reacts by reducing the production of LH (luteinizing hormone), thinking endogenous testosterone production is too high; this in turn eliminates further stimulation of Leydig cells in the testicles, causing testicular atrophy (shrinking).
Anavar used in a dose of 20 mg/day suppressed endogenous testosterone by 67% after 12 weeks of therapy.
In a randomized, double-blind study, patients with 40% total body surface area burns were selected to receive standard burn care plus Anavar, or without Anavar. Those treated with Anavar showed improved body composition, preserved muscle massand reduced hospital stay time.
The Benefits of Anavar
What's the benefits of anavar? i guess you all will consider it clearly before you start the anavar cycle, here let's know more about it.
1. Perhaps the greatest benefit revolving around the Anavar hormone is its ability to treat muscle wasting diseases such as aids as it will greatly stave off muscle disintegration that is both common with such ailments and often one that causes a devastating end.
2. Anavar can also be very useful in the treatment of burn victims enabling them to regain lost tissue but in some cases it may prove to not be enough and stronger anabolics are needed.
3. what gains in size Anavar does provide will be pure lean tissue and if you understand anything about performance each pound of lean tissue is worth its weight in gold.
4. In the world of performance enhancement Anavar holds distinct qualities in both men and women but in many ways it is women who benefit the most, so much so in many circles it is often referred to as The Girl Steroid.

Since the NHL lockout began last weekend, players have voiced their opinions on the negotiations and commissioner Gary Bettman through the media, interviews, and their Twitter accounts.
Ownership has been silent, as Bettman has threatened fines of up to 1 million for club officials speaking out.
That changed this weekend, though, when Detroit Red Wings executive Jim Devellano made some controversial comments in an interview with IslandSportsNews. Heres the senior VPs most repeated quote from that interview, which cost his organization a 250,000 fine:
"It's very complicated and way too much for the average Joe to understand, but having said that, I will tell you this: The owners can basically be viewed as the Ranch, and the players, and me included, are the cattle. The owners own the Ranch and allow the players to eat there. That's the way its always been and that's the way it will be forever. And the owners simply aren't going to let a union push them around. It's not going to happen."
The league responded with the large fine and statement from Bill Daly: The Detroit Red Wings' organization and the league agree that the comments made by Mr. Devellano are neither appropriate, nor authorized, nor permissible under the league's by-laws.
Many NHL players didnt take too kindly to the comments from Devellano, including a couple San Jose Sharks. Logan Couture, who has committed to playing in Switzerland, tweeted:
Just read the article about a Red Wings exec calling the players "cattle" at the owners ranch. Wow. Logan Couture (@Logancouture) September 22, 2012Marty Havlat went much further, in a quote relayed via Twitter by his outspoken agent, Allan Walsh who has become a must-follow if youre keeping up on NHL lockout news, whether you agree with him or not.
It took four tweets for Walsh to relay Havlats full quote:
Were not shocked at being called cattle, Havlat said. I can tell you the players have been called a lot worse by some of the guys on the other side. Its just never been reported publicly. I think it helps that the fans get to hear what we already know. Were not humans in their eyes; were just pieces of meat that get to eat some grass for awhile.
Havlat, incidentally, hasnt yet decided if hell be playing overseas just yet, although he said before the lockout hit that he would consider it. Walsh told CSNCalifornia.com via email that all options are on the table for Havlat, so apparently he hasnt decided yet.
Meanwhile, this week will be critical if there is any hope of starting the season on time. Its been 11 days since the NHL and NHLPA last sat down for formal discussions, and nine days since the lockout began on September 15. The league has already canceled preseason games through the end of the current month, and should there be no agreement or meaningful movement by next weekend, the remaining preseason schedule and regular season games will be next.

Discovery of Polonium
Polonium was the first element Marie and Pierre Curie discovered.
They discovered polonium and then radium in 1898, while working in Paris, investigating radioactivity in pitchblende (uranium oxide).
At the time of the discovery they wrote: "We thus believe that the substance that we have extracted from pitchblende contains a metal never known before, akin to bismuth in its analytic properties. If the existence of this new metal is confirmed, we suggest that it should be called polonium after the name of the country of origin of one of us."
In accordance with the Curies' wishes, polonium is named after Poland, the country of Marie Curie's birth.
The dangers of working with radioactive elements were not known when the Curies' made their discoveries. Their laboratory notebooks from this time are so radioactive that they are now stored in a lead-lined case. (1)
Appearance and Characteristics
Harmful effects:
Polonium is harmful both through its chemical toxicity and its radioactivity. Polonium-210 is an alpha emitter. As such it is very hazardous if swallowed or inhaled. Exposure to polonium increases the risk of getting various cancers.
Polonium is a rare, silvery-gray, radioactive low-melting metalloid.
Polonium readily reacts with dilute acids, but only slightly with alkalis.
All of its isotopes are radioactive.
210Po emits a blue glow, as the air around it is excited by the decay products. 1 gram of Po emits as many alpha particles as 5 kilograms of radium. The energy released by polonium's alpha decay is considerable and heats the volume around it. The energy released is so large (140 W/g) that a capsule containing about half a gram reaches a temperature above 500 oC.
Uses of Polonium
Polonium is used to eliminate static electricity produced during processes such as rolling paper, wire and sheet metal. However, beta decay sources are more commonly used as they are less dangerous.
210Po can be used as an atomic heat source but because of the isotope's short half-life (138.4 days), it doesn't provide power for long-term uses.
Polonium is also used in anti-static brushes to eliminate dust on photographic film. It is sealed in brushes to control the radioactive emissions.
Abundance and Isotopes
Abundance earth's crust: Of the order of 1 part per quadrillion.
Abundance solar system: negligible
Cost, pure: per 100g
Cost, bulk: per 100g
Source: Polonium is a very rare element due to the short half-life of all its isotopes. It is found in uranium ores in minute quantities. It can be obtained by bombarding natural bismuth, 209Bi , with neutrons to give 210Bi, which then decays to 210Po via β decay. Approximately 100 g of polonium is synthesized each year.
Isotopes: Polonium has 29 isotopes whose half-lives are known, with mass numbers 190 to 218. None are stable. The most stable isotope is 209Po, with a half-life of 102 years.

Painkiller Abuse Causes Holes in a Teen's Stomach
According to TimesOfIndia.com, doctors in Mumbai found perforations in a 16-year-old's stomach, due to painkiller abuse. The teenager had been abusing painkillers for stomach and back pain, and he had been taking one brand of painkillers 4-5 times a day since January. He ended up in the hospital with debilitating stomach pain when the doctors found the holes. They performed a complicated surgery, using layers of fat from his abdomen to cover the perforations.
Mumbai officials claim that more and more youth are self-medicating and abusing painkillers, and many are unaware of their dangers. According to doctors, the 16-year-old had ulcers, and the use of painkillers cause them to erupt. Instead of consulting with doctors, he began experimenting with various over-the-counter painkillers available in India. He claims to have quickly become "addicted," not realizing the toll it would take on his body. Doctors have seen a rise in such cases, and they attribute it to the availability of such drugs. Also, taking these drugs with an empty stomach, or not enough water can lead to more problems.

Expected Apartment Costs in Costa Rica
There are various housing options for ESL teachers in Costa Rica. Many choose to stay with a family approved by their school, where one can rent a room for around 100,000 - 200,000 CRC per month. Apartment costs vary depending upon large versus small city centres and are generally higher in the Central Valley region. They range between 200,000 - 300,000 CRC per month for a modest level of accommodation.
Banking in Costa Rica
Costa Rica has two types of banks: private and state-owned. State-owned banks include: Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, Banco de Costa Rica, and BanCredito. There are several private banks in Costa Rica, including: HSBC, BAC San José, and BanCrecen.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both the private and state-owned banks. State-owned banks are more secure, while private banks are generally more progressive, more customer service oriented and offer more services in English.
Internet banking is available with most private and public banks, allowing one to pay bills and transfer funds. ATMs are available everywhere and are a very handy way to withdraw cash for shopping in markets. Some ATMs charge a service fee, which can be hefty. Credit cards are accepted at most stores and are the standard for transactions. As credit card theft if commonplace, caution should be exercised.
Most banks in Costa Rica are open Monday through Friday, 09:00–16:00.
The following documentation is required in order to open a bank account in Costa Rica:
- Passport or Cedula (Costa Rican ID card)
- Letter from bank in one's home country
- Two or more local reference letters
- Personeria Juridicia (Notarized Personal Guarantee)
- Cedula Juridica (Corporate ID)
A couple of tips:
- ESL teachers should take start up money to cover initial set up costs, apartment costs, and other living expenses prior to receiving their first paycheque.
- Credit card companies in one's home country should be made aware of one's relocation so that they don't freeze accounts when they see charges in another country.
- Caution should be exercised when using ATM machines by covering the keypad when entering the PIN.
Food Costs in Costa Rica
The cost of living in Costa Rica is quite low; however, as in most countries, the purchase price of imported goods is generally higher than those found in North America. The following table provides ESL teachers with examples of approximate cost of food in Costa Rica. Prices listed are in Costa Rica Colones (¢).

The largest ETF tracking long-term Treasury bonds has seen nearly $400 million move out the door the past month as yields have ticked higher in volatile trading.
Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, and higher rates would send bond ETFs lower.
"In a world of uncertain economies and volatile share prices, it's little wonder so many investors have fled lately to the relative security of fixed-income funds," U.S. News & World Report notes.
"But there are risks with any investment, bond funds included. One big risk for bond-fund holders at the moment is that interest rates will rise," it reported. "It might seem unlikely right now, with the economy stuck in low gear, but eventually rates are certain to rise from today's rock-bottom levels. That will indicate a reviving economy but it could also hurt portfolios heavy on fixed-income assets."
The iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (NYSEArca: TLT) has experienced net outflows of $393.7 million the past month, according to XTF.
The Treasury ETF hit an all-time high in July but has pulled back as yields rebound somewhat.
Technical analyst Chris Kimble at Kimble Charting Solutions sees a bearish head and shoulders topping pattern developing in the Treasury bond ETF. He also notes 75% of investors are bullish on bonds, according to Market Vane.
ProShares Short 20+ Year Treasury (NYSEArca: TBF) is an unleveraged, inverse ETF designed to rise with Treasury yields.

"Sensational RPG with excellent graphics, a multitude of monsters, levels, magic and adventure."
As you may have already worked out, Knights of Knights is an incredible quality role-playing adventure with sensational graphics and totally free!
At the start of Knights of Knights you can choose between 7 different characters, each with its own characteristics (some better at fighting, others better wizards etc). The gaming style is a hybrid of the well-known Diablo and Ultima series. The scenes change at every phase, each one with distinct dangers and obstacles. The game itself is set into a village terrorized by different monsters. Your goal is obvious - to kill them all and to restore peace. You will find useful objects along the way that can cure you or give you special abilities.When you fight, you execute a lot of combos.
The Knights of Knights controls are simple: use the arrow keys to control the characters, and the A, S, D, F, Z, X, C and V keys to control all the actions.

Pets in our family history
This is more a story about my father Edwin Lord, than a pet. It takes place at Ed Mixture's garage in West Main st, Nelliston, N.Y., on a Saturday in June about 1928 or 29. Dad was at the garage to get something fixed on his car, when this old car came rolling into the garage with smoke and steam pouring out from under the hood. Of course everyone had to come out to see what was going on. A young couple with two small children and a dog were in the car with everything that they had in this world, in or tied to the car. They were on their way to California-yesterday they had left Vermont for a new life.
They picked the right garage at just the right time to be their. My
father had a 1920 Chevy touring car setting in the back yard at our house, Ed Mixture said he would get it started for free if dad would give
them the car. The three men went to our home in a couple of hours had
the Chevy purring like a kitten. When they got back to the garage all of their possessions had to be transfered to the Chevy, which was
pulled off to the side of the parking area. They carried a canvas tarp
that was attached to the car for shelter, were they spent the night
These people had nothing to finance the trip they were undertaking.
Ed Mixture bought the junk car for a few dollars, and my dad bought
the dog, no one knew why, they were going to give away. They left the next morning with about $25. and the will and determination to get to the West coast. If you were broke down today do you think anyone would give you a car and a garage would get it running for free---then find an excuse to give you money.
They made it but it took several months. Every 4 or 5 days we would get a post card [my mother had given them a supply] to let us follow there progress.
My grandmother was happy to see the car gone from the yard, but I do not think she was in love with that dog. I do not remember him, he was called spot and as the photo shows he was almost as big as me. I do not think he stayed with us very long. It was the only pet I had as a child.
Living as we were in half of my grandparents home, I guess without being told my dad could sense my grandmothers feelings and in a few months the dog went to live on the Empie farm, good friend of my parents.
In these later years I have owned my share of pets including a very devoted
long hair man coon cat, she follows me around like a dog, a great companion on the long days my wife is at work.

Sometimes when I read your stories, they ring a note with me..We lived in my grandfathers home for the first 12 years of my life, then mom/dad got their own home. Things were so different then..When my dad was sick, the neighbors would bring food over all the time..Everyone cared about everyone..Of Course it isn't the same now..but, I guess, nothing stays the same..I laughed about the Maine coon cat..they are loving cats..

It's always heartwarming to read stories of our people helped one another in days gone by. But I believe you're right - not many today would do the same.

Fried rice is a popular component of Asian cuisine, especially in Southeast Asian, where it is staple as Southeast Asian foods. It is made from steamed rice stir-fried in a wok, often with other ingredients, such as eggs, vegetables, and meat. It is sometimes served as the penultimate dish in Chinese banquets (just before dessert). As a home-cooked dish, fried rice typically is made with leftover ingredients from other dishes, leading to countless variations
