12 weeks post Gyno surgery pain under nipple and swelling due to scar tissue? (photos)
Doctor Answers 3
Swelling 12 Weeks Post Gyno Surgery
The areas after Gynecomastia Surgery may feel "lumpy" or irregular, and should decreases with time. Often massaging these areas will help soften the scar tissue. Also, the #compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will #heal. It can also assist in the retraction of the skin. If you have any concerns about #healing, its best to ask questions of your surgeon or their nursing staff. It's possible that any indentations could be addressed with fat grafting or cosmetic filler(s) if eligible.
Typically, its best to wait at least one year following the initial surgery to consider a revision. It is imperative you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with male breast #reduction. Plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your procedure. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.
Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation.

Healing from Gynecomastia Surgery
Thanks for the post and photos. Typically scar tissue can become prominent in the first three months. The distinction between scar tissue formation and residual gland tissue is that if it were residual gland tissue, it would be present right after surgery. If it were scar tissue formation it would initially look and feel good and then may feel firm or lumpy weeks or months later. It sounds like you may have scar tissue formation. I recommend seeing your plastic surgeon. There are massage techniques and if unsuccessful, kenalog injections that can break up the scar tissue.

Skinny: Although he is not the biggest cornerback, Robinson is one of the best in his class. He is tough and fearless. Robinson has also added a good amount of muscle during the offseason and it showed when he was in man coverage, as he was able to jam several receivers. He also showed a quick, smooth backpedal and made several plays on the ball.
2. Levonta Taylor, 2016, 5-10, 175, 2016, Virginia Beach (Va.) Ocean Lakes
Skinny: Taylor is a great competitor and plays with a swagger. He is an extremely physical corner and does a nice job of getting in and out of his backpedal smoothly. Taylor also has quick hips and great coverage awareness, which allow him to blanket receivers. He showed why he is one of the cornerbacks in his class.
3. Marcus Lewis, 2015, 6-2, 180, Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Skinny: Lewis is a big, physical cornerback, who could grow into a safety. He is strong and very aggressive. Lewis really explodes in and out of his backpedal and covers a lot of ground in secondary. The Florida commit also has good ball skills and a knack for making big plays.
4. Allan Koikoi, 6-foot, 180, Brooklandville (Md.) St. Pauls
Skinny: Koikoi came into the event as a virtual unknown, but was undoubtedly one of the top on Saturday. He has good size and was very physical at the snap of the ball, often jamming receivers and throwing them off their routes. Koikoi is also very athletic, runs extremely well and has great instincts. He will be a steal for someone at the next level.
5. Wayne Davis, 2016, 5-11, 170, Norfolk (Va.) Lake Taylor Skinny: Davis frustrated receivers all day. His athleticism and instincts were on full display Saturday. He is very fundamentally sound and looked comfortable in both man and zone coverage . He also has very long arms, which allow him to make plays many corners his size cannot. He added an offer from Clemson last week and more are on the way.

Frozen State pc game Review:
what can i say about this game? Hmm OK i love Zombie games but some just dont fill the gap that i expect in these games, and to be totally honest this game doesn't either BUT that being said this is a really Good game for a Early Access.
You play as a single Survivor in a Frozen world and u go into areas using access points to access the big map, then you move across the map and find locations to visit or u can just check out whats happening in the wilderness (lots of trees to cut down). At first i was like trying to get use to it but after a time i began to Realize u don't want to always take on Zombies face to face, that why u can Sneak about and lvl ur guys skills using a element u find during the game in houses (check everything)
i Recommend this game because i feel (and Hope) it is going to get better. i was thinking that the Zombies where a bit copied EG they all look the same 4 models , but in the last 20 min of playing this i found a BIG FAT Zombie which i ran away from.
The Crafting in the game is simple but finding the elements u need is the challenge.
This game totally worth it AND for £4.89 it is well worth the Punt. It's not worth full price Right now BUT if it keeps going this way it will be.

Security in Banking: Top Trends for 2005 and Beyond
|Boston, MA, USA April 29, 2005
Celent estimates that IT security spending by North American banks will reach US$1.8 billion in 2005, a 12.2 percent increase over 2004. It is not surprising that banks are devoting these funds to IT securityprotection against constantly evolving forms of bank robbery and account fraud are a must.
IT security represents a fundamental pillar in todays banking environment as banks deal with issues such as identity theft, account fraud, trojans, hacking, phishing, and a slew of other malicious internal and external criminal activity. Banks have to be on the ball when it comes to protecting corporate networks and data, their clients, and their clients personal information and assets. In addition to this challenge, risk management and compliance must continuously be top-of-mind, as they resound through and affect all aspects of banking security.
In a new report, , Celent identifies, examines, and strategically analyzes the top information security trends and issues facing bank CSOs and their teams.
"Bank CSOs/CISOs and their teams have heavy weights on their shoulders," says
Jacob Jegher, senior analyst in Celent's banking group and author of the report. "Maintaining a secure network and environment is already a daunting and complex task for standard corporations. The addition of insider fraud and skyrocketing external malicious attacks against financial services providers have banks scurrying in all directions to find a solution."

Great location for the centre of Forte and sea front; rooms [some slightly on the small side] are compensated by the overall cleanliness, quality touches, tasteful presentation with understated and restrained décor which is evident throughout the hotel. Two simply furnished and beautifully brick vaulted sitting rooms provide a tranquil setting for reading the provided and eclectic upmarket literature.
Everything in this hotel has been restored faithfully and the marriage of contemporary and historic has been thoughtfully blended
This hotel feels more like a family villa experience rather than a hotel one, and all the better for it.
The omnipresent owners, who obviously run a very tight ship ensure guests are well looked after. Breakfast is a simple but delicious self serve buffet providing a good selection of fresh and local produce including the best eggs I have ever tasted, coffee/tea etc. is served by attentive and friendly staff. The airy dining area looks out onto the small well-tended garden is delightful and meals can be taken al fresco under cover on the terrace. I returned long after evening dinner had finished on two occasions and on wandering into an empty dining room was given a seat and despite my protestations a meal was rustled up in the kitchen by the excellent chef who served me with local dishes including wild rabbit and vegetables. Drinks at the bar did not disappoint either, high end and unusual brand whiskeys were served in large measure in top quality glasses, at exceptionally reasonable prices. The owners read all reviews and take them very seriously so I hope prices don't increase post review!
Don't go to this hotel excepting a chain standard or highly polished sycophantic service, you will be disappointed. However, if you want to stay in a five star villa in the guise of a three star hotel with authentic touches, wholesome professional service with a dash of originality and great value for money then you cant go far wrong here!

What's the best way to create an infinite list with lots for fields?Asked by odnd on August 15, 2016 at 03:21 PM
Hi JotForm,
I have a form that includes a section for the person who's filling it out to enter data in 10 fields for each of every pet they own. Clearly, this will not fit well on a single row that a widget like the Infinite List provides.
Is there any other tool or approach that would solve this problem? Here's a screen shot of the portion of my form I'm talking about:
This is some hard but not impossible. You may wish to use the CONFIGURABLE LIST widget. By default all the fields are placed in a single row. You can use CSS code as provided in a previous thread
to make the fields be in 2 rows.
This would be the only option to create an infinite list.
Thank you very much — I'll give that a shot!
Do let us know if you require assistance with the CSS code.
Oh! I would love some help with the CSS code.
Could you help to put the fields in separate rows as follows?:
Again, the form is at this URL: http://olddogsnewdigs.com/form-adoption.html
Row 1:
• Pet's Name
• Species
• Breed
Row 2:
• Age
• Sex
Row 3:
• Temperament with other animals
Row 4:
• Health Issues
Thank you!
JotForm Support
I have checked your JotForm and see that the configurable list is arranged as per your requirement. It seems that you have already figured out in arranging the fields in the configurable list.
If you want to move the Health Issues field to 3rd row, you may change the top and left margins for td.col7 in the CSS code injected as below:
top: 6px !important;
left: 0px !important;
If you are looking for any other changes to the list please let us know. We will be happy to help.
Yes! Thank you so much! I bashed around in the dark and figured it out through study and trial and error! Will try those top / left settings to see how it looks.
Thanks for your help!

Torah portion: Why we must continue to gather the Jews
Will Gotkin is a recent graduate of The George Washington University and a regular contributor to GTJ.
Parashas Pekudei describes how the Jewish people's donations led to the construction of the Mishkan (the Holy Tabernacle). The combined contributions of the people were used to erect an edifice in which G-d's presence would dwell among them. The act demonstrates that wonderful things can happen when we put our differences aside and work together.
Each component of the Mishkan – the menorah, the spices, the curtains, the keruvim, etc. – possesses a unique holiness and performs a specific function simply by virtue of being part of the Mishkan as a whole. The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains we can learn from this is that each of us possesses an intrinsic worth that makes us equal to every other individual of the Jewish people regardless of our spiritual stature. Also, whatever good we do for the community at large also helps us fulfill our own unique purpose.[1]
Interestingly, this week's reading of the Tanya – a work of Chassidic philosophy authored by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi in 1797 – discusses the notion of Jewish unity. It teaches that G-d's infinite light will reside within the Community of Israel (the Jewish people) so long as they are united as one. Furthermore it is impossible for G-d's presence to dwell among the Jewish people if there is disunity between them because G-d's presence does not dwell in an imperfect, fragmented place.[2]
Every Jew is special, but G-d's presence rests among us only when we work together. The redemption of the Jewish people and indeed the entire world will come when the Jewish people are united as one. Our current exile was started by groundless hatred between Jews during the time of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and it will end when unity and love of one's fellow predominates. This is why Gather the Jews and other, similar 'Jew-gathering' organizations must continue to gather and unite the scattered sparks of holiness found within each member of the Jewish nation. This parasha teaches us that we must use our unique, special talents with which we have been endowed by our Creator to make the 2,000 year-old dream of Jewish unity and universal harmony a reality.
Every day we pray in the Shimoneh Esrei that G-d commence the ingathering of the exiles by saying the following blessing: "Blessed are you, Lord, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel." May this prayer be answered speedily and in our days.
[1] Ibid, 285

Breakfast, Nespresso machine in room, comfortable bed
I liked the pleasentness and kindness of the staff. I liked the breakfast an I liked the quietness of the location. Very expensive for a guesthouse.
Excellent accommodation and service from a sensitive and accomodating staff made this a wonderful stay in Cape Town. We were so impressed that after the 'Garden Route' we returned to Cape Diem for our last few days in the city.
Owner very helpful, regarding where to eat, where to visit.Very helpful re use of computer, allowing to stay by pool to flight time.very pleasant staff. Close proxiity to shops/restaurants etc Nice views,pool area. Nicely renovated property. The only problem was with the layout of the particular room.Very nice to look at and cleverly designed but not practical.Shower, toilet and bath on one level quite tightly packed and bed on a mezzanine level with low ceiling, unable to stand upright.also quite noisy, able to hear other guests walking about. Other rooms not so impractical apparently
The trainee manager was most helpful. The room was extremely large with excellent facilities Room we had was at front of building and was a bit noisy from the road outside and the nearby hotels during the night
location, price, facilities, personal service
Comfortable personal service
nothing romm is small and bath is beside beds without barrier which is make smile of the hotels so badly.
Cape Diem Lodge is in a perfect location for walking to the V and A waterfront and also downtown (less than a mile). It is a beautiful facility with very friendly staff. For the price we paid, I think cheese and crackers in the evening should have been free. We had to pay, and were not told this until check-out.
Very Comfortable beds, good breakfast and very helpful staff. Problems with the air conditioning, thought it would be nearer the waterfront, a bit pricey for waht you are getting
Friendlyness of the owners, location, cosy atmosphere Nothing
Nice and quite. Very comfortable accomodation. The staff did not show much interest and were not very friendly. I got the feeling I was a necessary incoveniance
Superb boutique hotel with wonderful hosts. Quaint but very sophisticated in its own way and the breakfasts on the veranda are a delight. Wooden floors can be a little noisy at night and in early morning.
the atmosphere in this house, the localisation in Cape Town -
Very service-oriented hotel, kind staff, beautifull rooms with all the details present to give you an unforgettable stay !
The personal touch was ever present and nothing was too much trouble. Particularly liked being able to have tea/coffee from the kitche
Phil and Liz really went out of their way to ensure that not only our stay in their lovely home, but also our trip to Cape Town in general, was the abosolute best! Nothing!
The Parker Cottages is a very nice guesthouse. Phil and Liz (the owners) are very friendly and give you great infomation about what to do and where to eat. The guesthouse has a lot of "Charme" and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms are decorated nicely and are very clean. The location is great and safe. We enjoyed our stay and for a next travel to Cape Town we would stay at Parker Cottages again!
hotel orners,phil & Riz were very kind,and they support everything necessary to enjoy cape town.very good hotel!
It was easy walking distance to football stadium and was clean and comfortable and the staff were helpful and very friendly, also only 5 min walk to the tour bus stop, so ideal location for exploring cape town.
very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, clean and nice furnished room with on-suite bathroom...
I really enjoyed my stay here. The place is located in a quiet street, very close to the sea. The room is very clean and big an includes all the facilities you need. Nice living room with wood-fire. The full breakfast is excellent...even if you are still hungry they can make you some bacon and eggs! Nothing
Location Seapoint. Friendly and helpful staff
It had a friendly atmosphere. The breakfast was good with a nice variety of bread. The garden was nice too. No
Great location near the seafront, comfortable, clean rooms, very helful enthusiastic staff.
Raymond and his staff were extremely attentive to our needs. The breakfasts were great and the honor bar was always well-stocked and inexpensive. The guest house was only two blocks from a lovely seaside promenade.
Great house, good staff just what I needed for my quick visit to the city.
Absolutely everything. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The view was fantastic and our balcony really big. We watched the sunset from it every night. Staff and owners were all very friendly and helpful and go out of their way to help and recommend. Breakfast was fantastic with bacon and eggs, fresh fruits, jogurts etc and best of all fresh rolls every morning. But best of all is the location. Its just so close to everything. Table Mountain and the city center as well as the waterfront are only a few minutes by car and the beach was a 5 min walk. There is a really good supermarket down the road and we also tried some of the restaurants in the area. We walked there and back and felt really safe. nothing
Value for money, great location, good advice on excursions, car hire and good local knowledge.
Very friendly staff and good location. A peaceful place to relax in the middle of the city I stayed over New Year so difficult to compare fairly but I thought it was relatively expensive for what it was
Liked that the house is so spacious with huge windows letting in the sunshine, such an appropriate name. Lovely room with a terrace and a queen size bed (eventhough I booked single). Fresh fruit for breakfast and very friendly and helpfull staff! No complaints here!!!
Cleanliness and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very accommodating and friendly No
The view was nice. Our towels and sheets were not changed one time over a 3 night stay. The room capacity was unclear at time of booking. The staff was not friendly.
We stayed in one of their apartments and had much more freedom than we would have had in a hotel or guesthouse.
room had beautiful deco we only stayed for the one night, and after a wondeful dinner, we got into bed to find sand on the sheets, which was highly upsetting, as it dampened our entire evening!
Good location, clean room, good standard of decor Room was not next to pool which was not apparent on website. Room was very warm, fan or air conditioning required. Got bitten badly by mosquitoes, which has never happened before in Capetown (5th visit)
We spent 6 fabulous nights at the Hotel. Johan, Kees and Stefan were the perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were in a friends home rather than a commercial business. Lovely rooms with beautiful furniture and an excellent substantial breakfast with lots of choice. The pool was fantastically warm (coupled with a very good chilled glass of wine). The views over Sea Point are unrivalled. Very quiet yet so close to shops/beach/bars and restaurant. We loved every minute of our stay and would definately recommend this "little peace of heaven" to everyone we know. The "free" firework display on New Years Eve at the beach from our window was the perfect end to our regretfully short stay. Good luck for the future.xx Nothing. We loved our stay.
Great host - extremely helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and good location. Everything was fine, would highly recommend.
The hotel is situated in a quite part of Sea Point, we were made very welcome. The weather was lovely, we ate breakfast outside in their delightfull garden every day. the management were very helpfull and arranged day trips for us.
The personal service, the beautifull rooms, the excellent swimming pool, the location
Everything. Staff was great and very helpfull with very good tips related with what to do, eat, etc... Location was very good. And the hotel facilities are excellent! Nothing.
They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. We had an excersion one morning and they prepared an early breakfast without us asking. That is going above and beyond.
Excellent. Nice and very helpful staff. Great location.
Very, very nice and kind people, stuff, management. Very friendly. There should be free Wi-Fi, but it didn't work!
I really enjoyed my stay cause in the context of my trip ,this guest house was incredibly relaxing, very comforting and lovely and quiet and the staff were very good indeed .
A beautiful house in a lovely location with great views of Capetown and table mountain.
The Hotel/Guest House was superb and in a great location for exploring the sights of Cape Town and surrounding areas.Our room (Colonial) was wonderful and had amazing views of Table Mountain and Lions Head.We also had great access to the roof top terrace and its panoramic views.Staff where excellent and the breakfasts ideal at the start of each day. The accomodation was 'First Class' from start to finish and no faults could be found.
The friendly staff, pleasant surroundings of the guest house and its african feel. The pool area and roof top terrace also definite pluses. I liked everything.
Barry and Mina, the owners of the guest house, were amazing and super friendly. Barry gave excellent suggestions for dinner. Jambo had lovely gardens and the Rioja we're comfortable and homey. I liked everything.
friendly owner, always present and willing to help, the geust house is a paradise
Very friendly environment, you feel like at home. Rooms are confortable, clean and very good.
great welcome and hospitality throughout our stay.
Excellent guesthouse and very welcoming hosts! We stayed in honeymoon suite - stylish apartments in a garden - and enjoyed our time there. We'd definitely return again...
Friendly hospitality, beautiful building, interesting decor, just everything about it made me feel at home. Every small detail for comfort and convenience seems to have been thought of. The big hotel chains should take some lessons here. Just as an example - in my room - air-con, two wall heaters, electric blanket and heated towel rail!! No.
The friendliness of the owners
The location was excellent, the room was creatively decorated, and the host, Barry, was very helpful and informative.
Barry and Mina (the owners) were amazing,,, they were polite, kind, helpful and brilliant...

Evidence for placebo effects on physical but not on biochemical outcome parameters: a review of clinical trials
Recent reviews on placebo effects in clinical trials suggest that objective changes following placebo treatments may not exist or, at least, have been considerably overestimated. However, the possibility that yet unidentified subsets of parameters are responsive to placebo treatments has not been taken into account. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine the effects of placebo treatments on objectively measured outcome parameters by specifically focusing on peripheral disease processes.
An initial dataset was collected from a MEDLINE search for placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials. Trials with stable disease conditions were identified, and the effects of placebo treatments on peripheral outcome parameters were estimated by the changes from baseline in the placebo groups. An explorative data analysis was conducted in order to identify parameter classes with differential responsiveness to placebo treatments. A subgroup meta-analysis of a second dataset was performed to test whether the preliminary classification would also apply to placebo effects derived from the comparison of placebo groups with untreated control groups.
The explorative analysis of outcome parameters and strength of placebo effects yielded a classification into responsive "physical" versus non-responsive "biochemical" parameters. In total, 50% of trials measuring physical parameters showed significant placebo effects, compared with 6% of trials measuring biochemical parameters. A subgroup meta-analysis substantiated the differential response (physical parameters:
The results suggest that placebo interventions can improve physical disease processes of peripheral organs more easily and effectively than biochemical processes. This differential response offers a good starting point for theoretical considerations on possible mediating mechanisms, and for future investigations in this field.
Since the introduction of double-blind randomized controlled trials, which have become the gold standard for assessing the efficacy of pharmacological treatments, reports on marked therapeutic changes in the placebo arms of the trials have led to the widespread belief that placebos have powerful effects
This approach was consequently followed by Hróbjartsson and Gøtzsche in their meta-analysis on clinical placebo effects. They analyzed 114 trials
One plausible reason for the small or even absent placebo effect in these meta-analyses could be that placebo interventions do not affect all observer-reported outcomes equally. Instead, it might be that only a subset of outcome parameters is responsive to placebo treatment.
The aim of the present study was to examine whether placebo treatment can objectively improve peripheral disease processes. We focused on peripheral disease processes because evidence for placebo effects in this field is rather scarce. Therefore, we analyzed placebo effects on objectively measured outcome parameters from peripheral organs, tissues, and body fluids that were collected from two independent datasets of clinical trials.
The first dataset was derived from a MEDLINE search for placebo-controlled, clinical trials. Because the selected trials did not include untreated control groups, we restricted the dataset to trials on stable disease conditions, from which the effects of placebo treatments could be estimated by baseline changes within the placebo groups. We examined whether placebo treatments had differential effects on parameter subtypes and tried to establish an appropriate parameter classification. To test whether this preliminary classification would also apply to placebo effects derived from the comparison of placebo groups with untreated control groups, we added a subgroup meta-analysis of the trials collected by Hróbjartsson and Gøtzsche

Crossover design and results not separated by sequence

Data extraction
From the 34 studies meeting the selection criteria, we extracted the baseline changes of peripheral outcome parameters within the placebo groups. When several parameters or time points had been measured, we analyzed the parameter or measurement with the largest effect size during the treatment period because we aimed at identifying outcome parameters most strongly affected by placebo treatment. From studies using a crossover design, we analyzed only the data of the group receiving placebo treatment first to avoid possible unblinding effects and drug carry-over effects.
Data analysis
For estimating the overall placebo effect on peripheral outcome parameters, we combined the effects of single trials by performing a meta-analysis based on 29 of the 34 trials. In five trials
To start our explorative analysis, we determined the significance of the baseline changes within the placebo group of each trial. For this, we used the reported results of statistical testing or, when necessary, the means and measures of variability for performing two-tailed
In addition, to compare the efficacy of placebo relative to active treatment, we extracted the baseline changes of the analyzed parameters for the active treatment groups as well, and computed their

The meta-analysis of the baseline changes within the placebo groups of the 29 trials providing sufficient data showed a significant overall improvement of parameters during placebo treatment (Hedges' pooled effect size g = 0.21, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.31,
The explorative analysis revealed that significant placebo effects were predominantly found for parameters measuring physical processes, e.g., blood pressure, or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). Therefore, all types of physical outcome parameters were collected in one class, which was named "physical parameters". The remaining parameters, less frequently responding to placebo treatments, appeared to represent biochemical processes measured in peripheral body fluids and tissues, e.g., cholesterol and cortisol. Therefore, they were all taken together in one alternative class, which was named "biochemical parameters". To be more precise, 8 of 16 trials (50%) using physical parameters as outcomes reported significant placebo effects compared with only 1 of 18 trials (6%) using biochemical parameters. This difference was statistically significant (Fisher's exact probability test,
To further substantiate this classification, we performed subanalyses for both groups of parameters. This revealed a significant placebo effect for physical parameters with a pooled effect size of g = 0.34 (95% CI 0.22 to 0.46,

All trials of the first dataset provided an active treatment arm. The median placebo efficacy ratio relative to active treatment in the total dataset was 0.26 (interquartile range (IQR) 0.05 to 0.37). For the subgroup of physical parameters it was 0.35 (IQR 0.27 to 0.42), or about one third of the active treatment effect, whereas for the subgroup of biochemical parameters, the ratio was close to zero (0.05; IQR -0.10 to 0.13). The difference between placebo efficacy ratios for physical and biochemical parameters was significant (Mann-Whitney

To confirm that the inclusion of acute and post-surgical conditions in our second dataset did not significantly influence the results, a reanalysis with these trials excluded was performed, thereby focusing on stable disease conditions. The effect sizes within the physical and biochemical parameter subgroups remained comparable with that of our main analysis (physical parameters:
Our results indicate that placebo interventions can improve objective measures of peripheral disease processes. They furthermore suggest that placebo interventions do not improve all kinds of peripheral outcome parameters equally, but primarily those reflecting physical disease processes.
The meta-analysis of placebo effects in the first dataset (collected from a MEDLINE search for placebo-controlled clinical trials) revealed a significant overall improvement of peripheral outcome parameters by placebo treatments. The explorative analysis indicated that significant effects occurred more frequently on physical than on biochemical parameters. Accordingly, an overall placebo effect across trials was only found within the subgroup of physical parameters. In comparison to the pharmacological medication, the administration of placebos improved physical parameters on average by one-third – a remarkable efficacy, not found for biochemical parameters. These results already suggest that placebo interventions affect physical parameters more frequently and strongly than biochemical parameters.
However, our classification was derived from clinical placebo-controlled trials without a no-treatment arm. These trials had not been designed to analyze placebo effects but to estimate the effect of the active medication against placebo control groups. Therefore, factors not due to placebo treatment may have contributed to the changes in the placebo groups in such trials, e.g., the natural course of the disease, and regression to the mean. We attempted to control for these factors by focusing on trials with otherwise stable disease conditions and tried to minimize the risk of regression to the mean by excluding trials on non-random samples selected by screening from a healthy population
Therefore, to further substantiate our classification, we made use of the database of Hróbjartsson and Gøtzsche, which contains a complete collection of trials including both a placebo and a no-treatment control group
A possible limitation in the present study is that physical and biochemical parameters were measured in different trials. Therefore, confounding variables, such as differences in study design or patient characteristics, may have biased the results. However, to use trials in which both parameters are measured in the same condition appears to be problematic, as the outcomes most probably would be coupled, i.e., any physical improvement would be expected to entail changes in biochemical parameters. Hence, our approach to compare trials with either type of parameter may provide the best available evidence to test the appropriateness of our classification. Furthermore, the fact that a remarkable difference in placebo effectiveness between physical and biochemical parameters was found in two different datasets renders the possibility of such a bias quite unlikely.
The responsiveness of physical parameters to placebo treatments becomes plausible when possible mechanisms mediating the effect are considered. Presumably, patients are able to monitor the state of their inner organs by sensory feedback – that is, by visceral perception
Although many of the biochemical parameters are also modulated by the autonomic nervous system, there are several reasons for these being less placebo-sensitive. First, patients may have little or no visceral or somatic sensory feedback to monitor parameter changes, e.g., of insulin-like growth factor-1 or cholesterol, whether spontaneously occurring or induced by treatment. Second, even in cases when the actual concentration of a biochemical parameter can be estimated by the patient (e.g., blood glucose levels
A plausible explanation for the deterioration of biochemical parameters in the second dataset might be related to the diet-sensitivity of some of the parameters
One frequently discussed mediating mechanism of placebo effects is the patient's expectation of clinical improvement, which can be raised, for example, by verbal suggestions accompanying placebo treatment
Classical drug conditioning is also considered one of the mechanisms mediating placebo effects
Notably, there is evidence from experimental studies that expectations raised by placebo suggestions can affect physical parameters of peripheral organs, e.g., gastric and pulmonary function
In this study, we were able to identify different kinds of peripheral outcome parameters as one reason for the heterogeneity of placebo effects on observer-reported outcomes. The differential placebo responsiveness of physical versus biochemical parameters should be taken into account when designing future pharmacological studies. A question that ties in with the present results concerns the putative specificity of placebo effects. Depending on the type of disease (e.g., psychiatric, neurological, internal), on the information delivered to the patient, and on the patient's former experiences with treatments, the effects of placebo interventions may differ, and different mechanisms may be involved. To disentangle the specific components of placebo treatments under different circumstances and to work out their effects represents a major challenge for future placebo research.
Our results indicate that placebo treatments of peripheral disease processes can affect physical parameters more easily and strongly than biochemical parameters. This differentiation holds true for both datasets we tested, i.e., conventional placebo-controlled clinical trials, and clinical trials that included a no-treatment arm. As a corollary, it follows that placebo-responsive subgroups may also be identified in datasets in which global averages conceal such specific responses.
Although much progress has been made in the past decade in understanding the biological basis of placebo effects in neurological conditions, e.g., pain and parkinsonian disease, the mechanisms that mediate placebo effects on peripheral organ systems still await to be further elucidated. The differential placebo responsiveness of physical versus biochemical parameters, as disclosed in the present study, offers a good starting point for theoretical considerations on possible mediating mechanisms, as well as for future investigations in this field.

IMO we're dealing with two aspects here: * (binary) dependencies in the source artifact * dependency handling in the project Taking the title, "Dependencies should not be distributed with source archive", as the requirement, wouldn't it be enough to simply exclude the libs from being added to the ZIP file? Regarding dependency management: Is there a reason for not leaving the libs under libs and test/libs in the trunk, branch, etc.? With the current solution, we will have a growing libs directory on the top level, since we still need all older versions in there in order to be able to still build older versions. > Dependencies should not be distributed with source archive > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JSPWIKI-738 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-738 > Project: JSPWiki > Issue Type: Task > Affects Versions: Graduating, 2.9 > Reporter: Juan Pablo Santos Rodríguez > Assignee: Juan Pablo Santos Rodríguez > Fix For: Graduating, 2.9 > > > As pointed out in the revision of the July 2012 incubation report, JSPWiki ships binary dependencies in the source archive, which is contrary to Apache principles. > As we are downloading some dependencies in current trunk, I would take the path of downloading all needed jars. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Best Of :: People & Places
The bridge at Genesee Pass, which separates the Clear Creek and Bear Creek drainages, as well as Gilpin County from Clear Creek County, may well be the most elegant structure in the state. The perfect fusion of form and function, achieved with perfect economy of means, it stands in silent mockery of the many overwrought, pseudo-historical pastiches that have sprouted like weeds along the Front Range. Designed by in-house Colorado Department of Transportation engineer Frank Lundburg, it was completed in 1970 for $410,000 -- but would have been a bargain at many times that, so beautifully does it frame the view of the Continental Divide for west-bound motorists. Literally and figuratively, this is the gateway to the Rockies.
Governor Bill Owens says that when he's term-limited out of the governor's office in January 2007, he'll go into the "private sector," but it's not too late for him to reconsider and give just a few more years to public service. (No need to go the full Roy Romer route and become superintendent of Los Angeles schools -- although that job's about to be open, too.) At one point, Owens was touted as a potential presidential contender -- so there's no reason he shouldn't head the list as a vice-presidential contender. And the White House could use some fresh blood, particularly blood that hasn't been shed by a friend of the current vice president. At some point, Dick Cheney's got to go -- to hell, to the hospital, wherever -- and who better than Texas native Owens to keep George W. company through the rest of his term? Not only has the genial Owens proven his ability to debate almost anyone, the ACLU included, on the national stage, but he's an accomplished hunter who's never, ever shot anyone, confirms spokesman Dan Hopkins.
No matter where Marc Holtzman is next January -- and we're betting it won't be the governor's office -- the shoot-from-the-lip Republican challenger could use a smooth, personable frontman. And there's no one more personable than Dan Hopkins, current spokesman for Governor Bill Owens. When his boss leaves office, Hopkins will be sixty and eligible to retire after 24 years in the state system -- assuming PERA still exists, of course. But should the state retirement system go down the tubes, Holtzman could do a lot worse than latch onto Hopkins. Sorry, Dan.
At the Colorado Legislature, you often can't tell the players without a scorecard -- and fortunately, Rocky Mountain News reporter Lynn Bartels is there to keep score. When she's not breaking news (and there's been plenty this session), she's offering amusing, insightful play-by-play on the various wins and losses. Unlike Denver's sports-page stars, politicians play for keeps. But so does Bartels.
It took him long enough, but in the end, John Hickenlooper made the right decision. Disappointing those who wanted him to run for governor (and divide the Colorado Democratic Party in the process), he opted instead to complete a whole term (at least) as mayor of Denver, continuing to push the impressive, ambitious agenda that has already put him on the national political map. Today and tomorrow, the city; there's time enough for the world after that.

Robert Downey Jr. will take on his superhero role once again, while Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard as Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes in the future installments of 'Iron Man 2' and 'Avengers'.
It is official, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle will team up in both "Iron Man 2" and "The Avengers". Marvel Studios have just given out confirmation that they have signed both actors for the two superhero movies.
Downey Jr. will live up his crime-fighting role as Iron Man once again, while Cheadle will step into the shoes of Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, once played by Terrence Howard. Despite this great news, it is still unclear though whether Cheadle's character will be transformed into War Machine in "Iron Man" sequel.
Still, on Cheadle's involvement on the projects, Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios comments, "We are very excited about working with the extraordinarily talented Don Cheadle as we expand the role of Rhodey in Iron Man 2. It has already become apparent as we prep the movie for production, that the dynamic between Robert and Don will take Iron Man 2 to new heights."
Moreover, the announcement also sheds light on the fact that filmmaker Jon Favreau is indeed on board "Iron Man 2" as its director and will also serve as the executive producer of "Avengers". It also teases "Avengers" plot synopsis noting, "The Avengers will bring together the super hero team of Marvel Comics characters for the first time ever, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk and more, as they are forced to band together to battle the biggest foe they've ever faced."
"Iron Man 2" has "Tropic Thunder" co-scribbler Justin Theroux attached to pen the story and is scheduled to be released on May 7, 2010. In the meantime, "Avengers" will be scripted by Zak Penn and sees a July 15, 2011 release. Both superhero movies will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.

The 2016 John Moores Painting Prize (China) adheres to the operating and
organizational concepts of the John Moores Painting Prize (UK). The judging
panel is comprised of three jurors from the UK and two from China, who together
are the sole deciders on academic standards for the competition. This event will
continue the focus of our UK partners on arts management, bringing outstanding
Chinese artists to the 2016 Liverpool Biennial and exhibiting the works of UK
prize winners, while also tirelessly working to establish a sales platform for
painters. Building upon the success of the three previous competitions held in
2010, 2012 and 2014, we aim to create a new framework for continued exchanges
between China and the UK in contemporary art and by doing so present new
academic benchmarks and discourse in the study of this field.

AS a teenager growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930's and 40's, Sister Mary Francis Moore loved to go to the movies. Like most teenagers, she had her movie-star idols; her main hero was Bing Crosby.
''His easy-going manner, his kind and gentle presence, and yes, that voice of the century, made me a loyal fan,'' recalled the 74-year-old nun, who retired this year from teaching at Maria Regina School in Seaford and lives in a convent in Massapequa. ''I saw one of his movies -- I'm not sure whether it was 'East Side of Heaven' or 'Pennies From Heaven -- more than a doz en times because a small movie house in Crown Heights played it every weekend for about a year.''
Sister Mary wrote Crosby numerous fan letters and kept a scrapbook of clippings about him from weekly magazines and daily newspapers. Even after she became a nun, joining the Sisters of Mary of the Americas, and becoming a teacher and school administrator in Brooklyn and on Long Island, her interest in the singer never waned. Eventually, she met him in person, and a scrapbook compiled by her became a source for Gary Giddins, Crosby's biographer, in his 2001 biography, ''Bing Crosby -- A Pocketful of Dreams: The Early Years, 1903-1940.''
Next week, Sister Mary will sit on a panel at ''Bing! Crosby and American Culture,'' a conference at Hofstra University that will examine the life and legacy of the star, who died in 1977. To be held from Nov. 14 through Nov. 16, the event is the latest of the Hofstra Cultural Center's international scholarly meetings.
Sister Mary will participate in the panel ''Fans Speak of Bing.'' Other panels will explore ''Bing and American Catholicism,'' '' 'White Christmas': The Song,'' ''Bing Crosby and World War II'' and ''Bing: Influences,'' as well as other broad issues. Specific topics will include ''Saint Bing: Apatheia, Masculine Desire and the Films of Bing Crosby'' and ''Bing Crosby: Rock and Roll Godfather.'' There will also be reminiscences from family and friends.Continue reading the main story
Participants include Mr. Giddins and the writers Wilfrid Sheed and Morris Dickstein; the songwriters Buddy Bregman and Ervin Drake; the entertainers Joe Franklin and Skitch Henderson; and Crosby's widow, Kathryn..
The goal is to show how ''Crosby defined the idea of the common man and became a cultural icon,'' said Ruth Prigozy, conference director and professor of English and Film Studies at Hofstra.
Mr. Sheed, who lives in Sag Harbor and will sit on a panel on ''The Cultural and Historical Background of the Crosby Era,'' said, ''There was a search for an American type of aristocracy between the wars that in the 30's came up with cafe society and movie stars like Valentino and Chaplin who were geeks.'' He continued, ''But in Crosby we found a real person, a kind of aristocrat we could relate to, who epitomized the casualness that was the American calling card.''
Sister Mary met Crosby in 1968, when the new Madison Square Garden opened, with Crosby and Bob Hope headlining. Sister Mary wrote Crosby, telling him she would be there and asking him to sign ''something for me.'' He replied in a personal note, inviting her to see him. When they met, she showed him the first letter she had received from him as a teenager, asking him if he had signed it personally.
''He didn't answer,'' she said. ''All he said was, 'Let's bring it up to date, Sister,' and signed it again.''
After that, the two began exchanging letters and met three more times. They chatted about baseball, a common passion, and movies; she knew the ''Road'' movies dialogue by heart, she said. Later, the nun met Mr. Hope, Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney, who ''once introduced me at a concert at Westbury Music Fair as the 'nun I inherited from Bing,' '' she said.
After his death, Sister Mary sent her scrapbook about the singer, which ''was more than 12 inches high,'' to his widow, who donated it to Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, Crosby's alma mater.
''He's still alive to me,'' Sister Mary said of Crosby. ''That lovely man who was not caught up in his own celebrity, but was a very natural, nonchalant real person.''
''Bing! Crosby and American Culture'' will be held at Hofstra University in Hempstead from Nov. 14 through Nov. 16. Information: (516) 463-5669.Continue reading the main story

Beef With Onions and Mushrooms
Be the first to review
READY IN: 45mins
Recipe by h_metts
I'm into quick and easy these days and this popped into my head when I was trying to think of something fast for dinner last night. This would be good with green beans or a salad on the side. Note that the 45 minute cooking time is a little deceptive because you can cut the onions and mushrooms while browning the meat.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2-2 lbs beef (sliced into bite size pieces)
- 2 -3 cups sweet onions, diced
- 8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, diced
- 3 -4 cups red wine (whatever is on hand that isn't sweet)
- 2 -3 tablespoons beef bouillon powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cooked brown rice (Uncle Ben's makes a 90 second microwaveable brown rice that has two cups of cooked rice in it)
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet cook beef until it is cooked through and well browned.
- Remove beef from skillet and deglaze the pan with 2/3 of the wine, add the bouillon and reduce the sauce.
- Add onions and mushrooms to the sauce and cook until mushrooms and onions are tender.
- Add cooked beef to the onions and mushrooms and add the remaining wine.
- Cook until the wine has reduced add the cooked rice and blend everything together.
- Enjoy!

Denver 23, Cleveland 20
DENVER (Ticker) -- Having already squandered three
fourth-quarter leads this season, the Denver Broncos avoided
another devastating loss.
Jason Elam kicked a 36-yard field goal with six seconds
remaining in regulation, then made a 25-yarder with 9:51 left in
overtime as the Broncos improved their playoff hopes with a
23-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
"It's always nice to find a way to win when you don't play your
A-game," Denver coach Mike Shanahan said. "We had to step up and
made some big plays at the end of the game."
Denver (9-5) posted its third straight win and moved one-half
game ahead of Miami in the battle for the final AFC wild card
spot. The Dolphins host Philadelphia on Monday night.
"We needed it desperately," Elam said. "It certainly was a
playoff atmosphere today."
Clinton Portis burned his former college coach Butch Davis by
rushing for 139 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 38
carries. However, he had to be helped off the field after
suffering an apparent right leg injury on his final carry on the
play before Elam's game-winning field goal.
"I am not a doctor but we hope he's OK," said Broncos
quarterback Jake Plummer, who completed 22-of-36 passes for 269
yards with an interception. "He's a big part of this team and
this offense."
Following a crucial 33-yard pass interference penalty against
cornerback Lenny Walls, Brett Conway kicked a 48-yard field goal
to give Cleveland a 20-17 lead with 1:11 left in regulation.
Conway was signed by the Browns earlier this week after Phil
Dawson broke his arm.
But with no timeouts, Plummer brought the Broncos right back as
his 46-yard completion to Ashley Lelie set up Elam's game-tying
"Ir's finally good to come out and get a big catch in a game
like this," Lelie said. "It definitely felt long overdue.
Fortunately, Jake got it in the right spot and I was able to
make the catch."
It was Plummer's first come-from-behind win as a member of the
"This one was sweet because it was the first one out here and we
needed a win bad," Plummer said. "A lot of guys around me
stepped up."
Cleveland (4-10) got the first possession in overtime but went
three-and-out and Plummer's 24-yard bootleg got the Broncos
going on their winning drive. They relied on the running of
Portis to get deeper into Browns' territory.
"Going through these tough times, it builds some character,"
Davis said. "And if there's one thing this team's got, it's
heart. With 50 seconds left, we had it won."
After squandering a 10-0 lead, the Broncos took a 17-10
advantage on Portis' 13-yard TD run with 10:43 left in the
fourth quarter. The Browns answered just under three minutes
later on Tim Couch's 37-yard TD strike to Andre' Davis, who made
a leaping grab in the left corner of the end zone.
"This team could have quit at any point," said Couch, who
completed just 8-of-18 passes for 181 yards with two TDS and an
interception. "Just last week we had five more guys go on the
