Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and Johns Hopkins All Children's Specialty Physicians have launched CanSurvive Clinic - a comprehensive pediatric cancer survivorship program tailored to the special long-term health concerns of former cancer patients.
Claudia Lukas PA-C, directs the CanSurvive Clinic, which is held monthly in the outpatient hematology oncology center at Johns Hopkins All Children's Outpatient Care in Tampa, located on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard. The CanSurvive Clinic will also be offered at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital main campus in St. Petersburg.
Thanks to improved treatment outcomes, survivorship is an increasingly important area of clinical care and research in pediatric oncology. Most long-term pediatric cancer survivors lead healthy lives, but their prior treatments may cause an increased risk for chronic medical problems, including obesity, heart failure, infertility, and secondary malignancies.
The CanSurvive Clinic provides coordinated multidisciplinary survivorship care, including annual visits with physicians (pediatric oncologists and other pediatric subspecialists), an oncology social worker, and other members of Johns Hopkins All Children's wellness team. In order to be seen in the CanSurvive Clinic, patients must be in clinical remission at least five years from their most recent cancer diagnosis, and at least two years from completion of their last therapy. Additionally patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation for a cancer or non-cancerous illness can be seen in their clinic.
Clinic patients receive treatment summaries with information about the patient's diagnosis, treatment received, complications of therapy, potential late effects of therapy, and recommended screening studies for late effects. Patients and families can choose to share this information with current and future healthcare providers. Both the written reports and the interaction during annual visits are designed to empower patients and their families to seek and receive optimal healthcare.
At your visit, your cancer therapy, current health problems (if any), and future health risks will be explained. After your visit, you will also receive a medical summary of your cancer care, including suggestions for health care into adulthood using the Passport for Care program. We also have many handouts about long term side effects of cancer therapy depending on your cancer diagnosis and treatment. We anticipate seeing you on an annual basis to continue surveillance for late effects of your therapy and continued education. Any acute issues arising between your annual visits to Long-Term Survivors Clinic can continue to be managed by your primary team of doctors and nurses.
For appointments, call the Johns Hopkins All Children's Pediatric Hematology/Oncology office in Tampa at (813) 631-5001.
The CanSurvive Clinic is located at Johns Hopkins All Children's Specialty Care of Tampa at 12220 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.

It is now November. You know what that means? Thanksgiving is here. It's a month for you to stuff your face into delicious food and spend time with family. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for the things we're grateful for. Many people are grateful to have their families, thankful for living, or for the things they love the most.
I myself am grateful for this holiday as I am glad to be living in a town with my family. I'm thankful for living in the United States, for this is the place to live the American dream. I'm thankful for the people I hold dear most in my live and who support me. During Thanksgiving, my family and I would celebrate Thanksgiving with all my family in one house. Having delicious food, that's my favorite part during Thanksgiving. I have ham, mashed potatoes with gravy, and my favorite, cherry pie. When we finish eating, we always plays games on our cousin's Nintendo Wii like Mario Party or Just Dance. Lastly, we all get around the table and spend time with each other as a family would on Thanksgiving.
I went around and asked my teachers what they think Thanksgiving is to them. This is one by my former teacher, Miss Ward. She states "To me, Thanksgiving is, of course, a day to be thankful for my family, my boyfriend, my friends, my pets, my job, my students, my co-workers, my home, and for all the other things that God has blessed me with. I also feel thankful for God for everything that He has helped me get thought my live.
"On Thanksgiving day, I love spending time with family members that I don't always have the opportunity to see very often. I am also fortunate enough to get to spend some of the day with my wonderful boyfriend and his family, which makes me feel extra blessed. To be around so many people that care about you and love you, who you cherish in return, is definitely sometimes to thankful for. In this life, family is most precious gift we are given.
"I believe that Thanksgiving is also a reminder to all of us that we should be thankful not only on the holiday itself, but on every day throughout the year. If we pause each day to remember all the good things we have, no matter how little or how big they might be, I think the world would be just a little bit kinder, and the stress of everyday life would be a little bit smaller."
The next teacher is Mrs. Gerling. She says "I think that Americans in general, myself included, live a pretty fast lifestyle where we tend to take things/ blessings for granted. To me, Thanksgiving is just that - a reminder to be thankful for everything we have in our lives that we typically take for grated. I am thankful for my family. They have seen me at my best and worst and love me no matter what. Also, I'm thankful for my job. In this economy, having a job is a blessing. The music, there are so many different kinds of music out there. There is always some songs out there that can fit any mood or situation. My education, it is one thing that I worked really hard for. I was the first female in my family to graduate from college. I'm pretty proud of that. And my books, it is a great way to have access to a lot of books when you don't have much space."
So be ready for the food, the fun, and bonding as Thanksgiving comes around. Tell what are you thankful for? You are thankful for your family, your job, your life or anything. Just telling it is a good way to start the Thanksgiving day.

Welcome back to Mets Chat Room.
I never bought into the theory all games carry the same emotional weight. Tonight is pretty important because the "we're still in first place" defense is fading fast.
Closer Billy Wagner is a game-time decision. Aaron Heilman gets the ball if he can't. … Carlos Delgado is back in the line-up. … And, Pedro Martinez will be making more than simply a tune-up start.
All that, and what could arguably be the most important game of the season are on the table. Looking forward to talking with you. A request, however, let's keep it clean. Using )&((^_#$+_ gets the same point across.

$18 million grant allows UF to expand children's health insurance program
Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 2:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 2:28 p.m.
More sick children in low-income families throughout Florida will have access to health care through a grant provided to a program at the University of Florida.
UF's Pediatric Integrated Care, or Ped-I-Care program, has received a three-year, $18 million contract to provide health insurance to children with complex medical needs in 51 of Florida's 67 counties.
The grant, from the Florida Department of Health, more than doubles the number of counties the Ped-I-Care program has served since 2003.
Nancy Giunta, Ped-I-Care executive director, said the grant money will help them reach children who might otherwise fall through the cracks. They come from families who are between 100 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty level and do not qualify for Medicaid.
The children have multiple medical conditions that are often chronic or serious, Giunta added.
She said she anticipates that on Nov. 1, when the contract takes effect, at least 15,000 new children will qualify for Ped-I-Care services.
That number could rise to 50,000 in the next nine months, during statewide Medicaid reform and implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Giunta added.
"Many of our principles are included in the Affordable Care Act," she said. "We believe in patient-centered care and care coordination. There is a nurse who coordinates their care who is making sure they are getting their meds. This is very much a part of health care reform."
Dr. John Nackashi, a UF pediatrician and the medical director of Ped-I-Care, added, "We hope in a year we'll even be larger than that, but this is the beginning."

Standard and Poor's downgraded Greece's debt yesterday. This reflected–and added to–perceptions that Europe's debt difficulties are worsening. Portugal, Spain and Ireland are now in deeper trouble as a result.
First, one notes that the European Union has made an unbelievable hash of managing this crisis, making the problem worse as much as helping to solve it.
The latest proposal, a 45 billion euro package by Europe and the I.M.F., has done little to calm the markets, and Germany's statement this week that it must first see more deficit reduction from Greece before fulfilling its pledge has only increased concerns that Europe is not united behind Greece.
Kenneth Rogoff, a former economist for the I.M.F. who has studied sovereign defaults, calls the latest assistance package puzzling. "They put their wad on the table, but they could have gone further," he said of the international plan. "I never thought Europe could take the lead on this."
No indeed. But the role of the ratings agencies also needs to be looked at. Given the decisive part they played in the subprime mortgage debacle, how have they managed to escape reprisals from politicians and regulators? Now they are at it again, propagating a follow-on crisis in Europe. The question is not so much whether their new lower ratings on the PIGS' debts are justified, but whether, supposing they are, their earlier high ratings of the same debt conveyed useful information in the first place–or actually did the opposite, providing false assurance to the markets. No information is better than bad information. Creating a regulatory requirement for action based on this bad information, which is current policy, is doubly perverse.

Topic: mother newly diagnosed
About a week ago my wife noticed my mom who is 66 years had some yellowing in her eyes and immediately we took her to the doctor and her blood was taken. The next day the doctor called her in and a ultrasound was performed. That is when we found out that there is an obstruction in her bile duct and a ctscan was needed. The next day the ctscan results came back and the doctor believed it was a gallstone even though her gall bladder was removed 15 years ago. The next day she had a ERCP and that is when we found out that it wasn't a gall stone but a tumor and a stent was placed in along with a biopsy. The oncologist said the that the tumor could be benign but is waiting for the lab results from the biopsy. The next day the oncologist broke the news to us that the tumor is malignant and that she is diagnosed with cc. My world stopped and after doing some research on the internet I was devastated to find out that this is a rare disease and that the survival rate doesn't look very good. I was very depressed and sad because my mom means the world to me. She would work 7 days just so she can provide for my brother and I. Thankfully I found this forum and the awesome people that post here. The very next day my mom had a MRCP and that is when the oncologist told us that the cancer is in its early stage and that the cancer has not spread into the major lymph nodes. I was so HAPPY and RELIEVED and I was able to sleep that night. Today we had a meeting with the surgeon and that is when he told us that from all the procedures that was done they believe it is in its early stage but they are not 100% certain until they open her up. They also mention that the tumor is 2.5 cm big and that there is a slight chance that the tumor is on her pancreas being so close to it. The surgeon recommended the whipple procedure and the surgery will be 3 weeks from today.
My question is why did the oncologist tell us that it is in its early stage and the tumor has not spread but yet the surgeon said that they are not 100% sure whether or not it has spread until they open her up? Also with 3 weeks till the surgery my concern is that the tumor might spread.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/3/2013 (1623 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I live in an interfaith household, which means in spring we celebrate both Passover and Easter. That means lots of cooking.
This week Dorothy Earley from Onanole is hoping someone might have a recipe for the best hot cross buns she's ever tasted, first published in the Western Producer in the 1950s. She's lost her copy, and while she realizes this is a longshot, she hopes a Recipe Swap reader might have clipped it.
In the meantime, I have a recipe from Edna Mroz for her family's version of the traditional Easter treat.
Jill Greenwood sent in a recipe for sweet-and-sour brisket. This slow-cooked beef cut is a Jewish favourite all year round, but if you want to make it strictly kosher for Passover, you'll need to find vinegar, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce that fall under the "kosher for Passover" designation.
Meanwhile, Shirley Fillion from Portage la Prairie wonders if anyone has a recipe that appeared on the bottle of VH Sweet and Sour Sauce for breaded spare ribs. If you can help with a recipe request, have your own request, or a favourite recipe you'd like to share, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, fax it to 697-7412, or write to Recipe Swap, c/o Alison Gillmor, Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6. Please include your first and last name, address and telephone number.
Hot cross buns
30 ml (2 tbsp) butter
250 ml (1 cup) water
125 ml (1/2 cup) whole milk
60 ml (1/4 cup) white sugar
5 ml (1 tsp) salt
15 ml (1 tbsp) instant (quick-rise) yeast
1 egg, beaten
approximately 1.2 L (5 cups) all-purpose flour, divided
10 ml (2 tsp) cinnamon
2 ml (1/2 tsp) allspice
2 ml (1/2 tsp) cloves
175 ml (3/4 cup) raisins or currants
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped mixed candied fruit
30 ml (2 tbsp) white sugar
30 ml (2 tbsp) hot water
250 ml (1 cup) icing sugar
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add water and milk and heat to lukewarm (50-55 C or 120-130 F). In a large bowl, mix sugar, salt and yeast. Add lukewarm mixture, beat in egg and beat until smooth. Combine 750 ml (3 cups) flour with spices. Stir in raisins and mixed fruit. Add flour mixture to yeast mixture. Combine well. Add additional flour until a soft, not sticky dough is formed. On a lightly floured surface, knead for 8-10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. (Some additional flour might be required.) Form dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Punch down. Let rise again for 15 minutes and punch down again. Shape dough into 24 slightly flattened balls. Place on two greased baking sheets. With sharp knife, cut crosses on top of buns. Cover and let rise in warm place for 60 minutes.
Bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven for 15 minutes and then brush with glaze. (Make glaze by stirring together sugar and water until sugar is dissolved.) Continue baking until done, about 5-10 minutes longer. Glaze buns again when removed from the oven. Crosses can be filled with white icing when buns are cool. (Make icing by combining icing sugar with just enough water to make a spreadable consistency.) Makes 2 dozen.
Tester's notes: Very satisfying to make and much better than store-bought versions I've tried. Hot cross buns can be dense and scone-like or light and feathery. I found these were in-between, with a soft, slightly chewy texture.
Edna bakes her buns at 160 F (325 F) because she finds they darken too quickly at the higher temperature. I also found my batch did better on the rack placed in the top two-thirds of the oven. Watch carefully to find the perfect spot between nicely browned and over-baked. I also found my buns spread a little too much, so I wouldn't flatten them next time.
My household is divided on the question of candied fruit, so I upped the quantity of currants and added fresh orange and lemon zest for flavour. Some bakers make the traditional crosses with a baked-on flour paste or baked pastry strips. Others pipe a plain white icing on the cooled buns.
Sweet and sour brisket
2.25-2.75 kg (5-6 lb.) brisket
2 onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
175 ml (3/4 cup) brown sugar
125 ml (1/2 cup) vinegar
250 ml (1 cup) ketchup
250 ml (1 cup) water
15 ml (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
15 ml (1 tbsp) salt
ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). In a roasting dish or Dutch oven, place onions and garlic. Place brisket on top. In small bowl, mix together brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, water and seasonings. Pour over brisket. Cover and roast until tender, approximately 4 hours. Cut meat into slices against the grain and pour sauce over top.
Tester's notes: Very easy and tasty. If the sauce becomes too thick in the last stages of cooking, you can thin with a little hot water. And brisket can be a handy make-ahead dish -- just slice the meat and reheat in the sauce.

I guess many of you have seen on National Tv the tragic damages that we got in Eastern Kentucky last Friday night. I was lucky that my home wasn't hit but several in the area were not so lucky. The Weather Channel issued warnings early enough to give people a chance to take cover but many didn't believe it could hit here. It did and the electric company that I work worked around the clock to restore service to more than 4000 homes that lost power during this storm. WE had winds over 160mph and I saw sites that I never thought area mountains would have to deal with.
We have been strong for many years dealing with floods and ice storms but this type of wind does damages you just won't believe. It took a 90 mile strip through the trees over a mile wide in places,my point for even posting this. Value life and what you have today to the highest fore tomorrow it can all be gone. May you never have to deal with such a storm as what I saw last Friday night.

Sorghum is my new favorite all purpose gluten free flour. I cannot use it straight up to replace wheat flour in every recipe. But it works in many. I also like that my regular grocery store stocks it now, it is not crazy expensive, it is easy to work with, and it's whole grain. It is not a nutritional super food, but it sure beats refined starches.
Sorghum flour is successful in pancakes (recipe below), waffles, muffins, piecrust, and fruit crisp toppings. The flavor has some natural sweetness. And I am in love with sorghum syrup, which is made from sorghum stalks. They look and stand tall just like corn stalks.
Pancakes with sorghum syrup, fruit and a sprinkling of nuts for dinner is true comfort food for me. If you have sorghum flour on hand, you probably have the other essential ingredients in your pantry. 100% sorghum flour pancakes are a great introduction to sorghum.
I do make a special trip to the health food store to by 6 jars of syrup at time. It is thicker and not as sweet as pure maple syrup. Perfect for my taste. A mix of sorghum syrup and corn syrup is available in my regular grocery store. But I don't want the corn syrup part. Just 100% sorghum syrup please.
My "go to" recipe for pancakes includes buttermilk, nice thick buttermilk. But I do not always have it so I substitute soured milk with tasty results.
Please notice, I use soured milk, not spoiled milk. You simply add a tablespoon of acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, to a measuring cup. Then add milk to the one-cup line. Stir and allow to sit for a few minutes and you will notice the milk curdles. That is soured milk.
Right now, there are many posts and comments in the blogosphere regarding the safety of distilled vinegar. Please see Gluten Free NYC and Tricia Thompson's blog post on diet.com. There is a simple solution if you choose not to use distilled vinegar, use lemon juice. You get a similar tart flavor, acid and no gluten.
I used cows' milk, but you could try this with other kinds of milk. Goat, hemp, nut, rice or soy. I am interested to know if you try any of these and how you like the results. The lower protein milks probably will not curdle. But you still need to add the acid to make the baking soda fizz and raise up the pancakes.
The finished soured milk pancakes are a bit thinner than the buttermilk version. And the batter itself thinned while I was cooking the pancakes. The first pancakes cooked up evenly round. The later, thinner batter made scalloped pancakes that looked a bit like pretty flower petals. They all tasted great.

1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar 15 ml
(not malt or flavored vinegar)
nearly 1 cup milk 225 ml
2/3 cup sorghum flour 75 gm
1 teaspoon sugar 5 gm
1 teaspoon baking soda 4 gm
½ teaspoon salt 3 gm
1 egg 1
2 tablespoons oil 30 ml
1 cup blueberries 130 gm
sorghum syrup
Measure lemon juice or vinegar into a one cup liquid measuring cup. Add milk to the 1-cup line. Stir and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, soda, and salt.
In a small bowl whisk together soured milk, egg, and oil.
Add milk mixture to flour mixture, whisk until smooth.

Preheat griddle and oil it. Ladle enough batter onto the griddle to make a 3-4" pancake. Do not make them too big, or they will be very hard to flip. Drop blueberries onto the batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook a few minutes more.
Adding the blueberries to the batter on the griddle evenly distributes the berries, and keeps the color of the pancakes lovely. Stirring the blueberries into the batter in the bowl can make the pancakes an unappealing grayish blue. This is a bigger problem with frozen berries as they thaw.

Sorghum has also saved the day for gluten free beer. Beer with pancakes? Ick. No, I usually have tea or milk. I do not drink much beer so I cannot comment on sorghum beer. Other than, I think it is cool that it is available.
What wonderful things have you made with any type of sorghum?
Update 8-30-2009 This post was entered into the Slightly Indulgent Monday kick off blog event, started by Amy Green of Simply Sugar and Gluten Free. The whole grain sorghum flour and the rich syrup make this slightly indulgent. I can't wait to see what else is entered!

SuperDuper28 - Monday, September 13, 2004 - linkAnyone got any info on release date?Only thing I have seen is "sometime in Sep" but I don't see any place to preorder or any manufactuers advertising it.
As far as benchmarks.I don't care how much memory it has,how many pipes,how many bits,what the core and memory is clocked at...ect,I've seen lots of different benches and different sites with different rigs and in all of them it performs close to a 6800 and 800x and in some cases slightly outperformed.I don't know how to explain it but thats the way it is and $200 for this card compared to $400+ for the others is a no brainer. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, September 09, 2004 - linkActually, mickyb, it's not so much that NVIDIA neglected DX9 performance as it is ATI neglecting OpenGL performance. If a game doesn't make any use of the special features of the GF6 cards (i.e. SM3.0 extensions), the X800 XT PE has a very large advantage in pixel rates and vertex rates. They're both 16x1 pixel and 6 vertex designs, but the ATI card runs at 520 MHz compared to 450 MHz on the 6800UE. That's a 15% performance advantage in clock speed, which correlates pretty well with the Source Stress Test results. So, I agree with you to a point, but really ATI just needs to get their OpenGL drivers up to par. Reply
mickyb - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - link**** WARNING: RANT ****
I am spending way too much time on this article, but everytime I read the benchies on the 6800 and X800 series, I keep asking what is going on with NV and DirectX and ATI and Open GL? I have a hard time believing that the two APIs are so different that the hardware has to be designed for them. I think NV spent way too much time in the closet with Quake III and ATI in their closet with HL-2. Both engines are going to have an presence in other games and I don't want to have to pick a video card for the games that I play. If this continues, it will turn into the same war that the consoles have. I chose a PC so I can play all games. Maybe this will all correct itself after the next driver releases. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI don't have any insider information, and I haven't signed any NDA's, so I can say that NF4 is probably due out within the next few months. That could be wrong, of course.
There will be a 6600 vanilla part, Visual, but due to the use of different RAM and other factors, we do not have benches for that yet. It was mentioned on the second page, forth paragraph. I'm sure they're coming soon.
Finally, regarding the 6800 vanilla vs. 6600GT, there are two things to consider. First, how much faster is the 6800 when running on the same system? Generally, it is slightly faster and up to 20% faster when the system is essentially the same, so 50% more for up to 20% performance probably isn't worth it to most people. The bigger problem, however, is that the 6600GT is a PCIe part. There should be AGP bridged versions in the future, but how far off are they? After the "paper launch" of the X800 and 6800 cards, I wouldn't expect an AGP 6600GT for another six weeks at best.
I wouldn't be surprised to see NF4 and SLI and 6600GT all reach widespread availability around the same time. Well, that's what I would try to shoot for if I were Nvidia, anyway. If NF4 gets delayed due to technical issues, though, who knows? Reply
Visual - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkOooh, reading mickyb's post, imagining two of these things each with a TV tuner, with the SLI bridge between them... mmmm :)
The 3d performance would be perfect for today, and you'd have 4 monitors (or 2 monitors/2tvs) max.. if it could work without disabling NF4's IGP, 5/6 monitors, just trashing ATI's hyrdaview!
Two tuners giving you picture in picture or recording independently of what you're watching... Or one of the cards can be with digital tuner the other with analog... there'd be something for everyone :)
I'm drooling :)
P.S. Quite off-topic, but what's know about nVidia's plans for NF4, and is it expected soon? Reply
Visual - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkSeeing this card named "GT" I wonder if there will be cheaper versions of it... any info on that from nVidia?
It'd be good to see a comparison between this card, the cheaper x600XT and the bit more expencive vanilla 6800, all on the same system. I'm pretty sure you guys won't bother to make another article for this, but at least if you see something on the web I hope you'll post in the news section :)
Also I wonder if the 6800 is worth the extra cash in your oppinion. I was almost decided on getting one but this article makes me consider waiting again...
Thanks for the article,
Visual Reply
mickyb - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkNot sure any of this is viable, but going along with my previous comment, this looks like it would be a good candidate for SFF systems. It provides good performance at the right price. Furthermore, it supports SLI. For non-SFF systems, it is a nice way to incrementally get to the performance needs that your game requires. Practically, it is always a challenge to incrementally approach any performance target, because when you are ready to step up, it is time to get a whole new system. Allright, back to SFF. It would be cool if this was the onboard graphics candidate for NF4. This chip coupled with Video-in and it could finally compete with ATI in the AIW space. Currently I would always go for ATI, due to having to make the performance vs. all round use decision. Now here is where I think NV could have something. Since this chip supports SLI, it would be really something if the NF4 had this video on-board and if you wanted a little more power, you just add another card. I don't know about you all, but I don't like buying a nice MB just to have to disable an almost passable video card because it couldn't run the next game. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkFirst, perhaps the disclaimer wasn't big enough, but running the tests on different platforms is never an optimal solution. This can and will affect the results in various instances. A 3400+ is a very fast chip, but the 3.4 GHz P4EE is still going to beat it in many situations. However, going back and running hundreds of benchmarks on different platforms really isn't an option. At some point in the future, I'm sure there will be a more equal roundup of the cards, but it's just an approximate measurement of performance anyway.
If you look at the "performance estimates" in the GPU Cheatsheet article we recently published, you can see some additional support for why the 6600 GT would sometimes beat the 6800 vanilla. In pixel performance, the raw clockspeed of the 6600GT puts it just a fraction faster than the 6800, while it's slower in bandwidth by a relatively large amount. They're also pretty close in vertex processing power. Change the CPU from a 2.2 GHz 1MB L2 A64 to a 3.4 GHz 2 MB L2 P4EE and the closeness of the cards can end up pushing the GT ahead in cases where the P4EE is faster.
(I may have the wrong number of vertex pipelines as well, which could mean that the 6600GT has substantially more vertex processing power. Any word on that Derek? I had 3 vertex pipelines as "rumor" on the 6600 chips, but the benchmarks seem to indicate that it might have more.)
Without knowing the internal structure of the chips and cards, we can't say for sure, but there could be occasions where an 8x1 chip makes more efficient use of its resources than a 12x1 chip. Perhaps certain latencies are higher on the NV40 than on the NV43, or maybe a 12x1 pipeline setup just taxes the memory in a different fashion.
Relative to the older generation hardware, it should come as no surprise that a 500 MHz 8x1 design is generally faster than a 412 MHz 8x1 (9800XT) or a handicapped 475 MHz 4x2 design 5950U). At lower resolutions, the memory bandwidth advantage isn't as much of a factor, and the 6600 has a superior architecture. In bandwidth hungry games, the 6600GT would likely lose out, but on PS/VS heavy operations, the raw clock speed will be very beneficial. Reply
kmmatney - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkWhat! No Quake3 benchmarks?
:) Reply
trenzterra - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkAre you reviewing a 256mb or 128mb card? I can't imagine a 128mb card beating the hell out of X800 and even their 6800. Reply
coldpower27 - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkoops i mean it's probably for Socket 604 so they need 2 Xeons, preferably the Nocona's but they aren't LGA775 :D Reply
coldpower27 - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkYeh that would be possible in a way I believe,
You can bench the Pentium 4 Prescott 3.4GHZ for i875P, with DDR400 2-2-2-5 for the AGP GPU.
Then you can bench the Prescott 3.4GHZ LGA775 on the i925X plaform with DDR2-533 4-4-4-12, for the PCI Express GPU that would be roughly equivalent.
Or you can supplement both with the Pentium 4 EE 3.4GHZ if you got both the S478 and LGA775 Edition of those two processors.
It's too bad you can't bench SLI, but it's hard to expect them to, they need Xeons on the Tumwater chipset:S and isn't that for LGA775 only too? So they need 2 Noconas??? Reply
JackHawksmoor - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkLooks like a great card, but it looks like it's actually better than what they're showing here, since they're comparing it to weaker cards in systems with better CPUs...
Really needs to be redone with everything but the video cards kept constant. Reply
DEMO24 - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkWhy the heck is that card beating a 6800? Hopefully that 6800 will pull ahead more than that with newer drivers. Reply

8NP4iN - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linknice to see a 200$ card beating a 450$ 9800XT or 9800 pro...
cant wait to upgrade when nforce4 comes out Reply
Carfax - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkI was just wondering, because I know the 65.76 drivers would have raised the 6800 series performance aswell! Reply
ZobarStyl - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkThe point of the article was to compare the PCI-E mid-range, and guess what, if the 6600GT is 200 bucks, it's direct price competition is the x600XT and it can't even hold a candle to the 6600GT. If they release the AGP version at 200 it still is a great competitor to the 9800pro from performance alone, plus the added feature set is a bonus. nV is definitely taking advantage of the complete lack of midrange from ATi. Reply
ViRGE - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkCarfax, they have a standard testbed, so the numbers from the other NV cards come from previous benchmarks. If they upgrade the drivers on everything else, they'll have to re-run the benchmarks on everything else. Reply
Cybercat - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkVery nice performance. Best mainstream card in a LONG time. Reply
Carfax - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkWHY where two sets of drivers used?!? Why couldn't you just use the 65.76 drivers for both the 6600GT and the rest of the Nvidia cards? Reply
ViRGE - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkAnd continuing on #20's tangent, the 5950 Ultra beats the 6600GT by 200%? That definitely isn't right. Reply
railer - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkI don't think those Jedi Knight results are correct. 9800xt beats the 9700 pro by 300%? I think not...... Reply
Doormat - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - link"That isn't to say that they are less power hungry than an AGP card that requires external power, but that the PCI Express slot supplies enough voltage to the card that it doesn't need any more juice."
Nitpick: the AGP and PCIE slots provides enough voltage, but the main restriction is current. Each spec is designed to deliver so many amps of current at the specified voltage. As cards get bigger and badder, they draw more current, and need the extra power hookups. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkI'm puzzled as to why the 6600GT beats the 6800(straight) so often. Doesn't the 6800 have a full 256-bit path? Reply
neogodless - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkYes, fix "looses" on the final page!
Crazy to see a Radeon 9700 Pro do so poorly... very surprised it's doing poorly compared to the 9600/X600. Is that right? Doesn't seem right to me... Reply
Jalf - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - link#14: Yeah, but looks kinda weird that half the charts only shows those two cards, while the other half shows the full spectrum :) Reply
Falloutboy - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linklooks pretty good to me even at its worse its still on par with a 9800xt and in alot of games is besting the x800pro looks like a pretty good deal at 200 bucks prolly will go cheaper once it hits the stores in mass Reply
Saist - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkksherman : overclock a GF2 MX? I think you have that confused with a GF4-4200. I've never been able to successfully OC a GF2 MX.
mcveigh : Nvidia does have intentions to add DVI->Component adapter support into Forceware. Good luck on it being stable though.
Jalf: If you read the beginning of the article, you'll note that Anandtech originally was going to compare the 6600GT to the ATi Radeon X600 series card because there was no "underpowered" X800-PE to compete with the 6600GT. All of those only 2 card charts were showing the PCIe 6600GT vs. the nearest (under-pricepoint) Radeon PCIe product.
Questar : Read my earlier note and stop trolling please. It's rather obvious why the charts suddenly changed if you had bothered to read the words and not the pretty pictures. Most of the article was comparing PCIe cards to AGP cards. Please, think before you troll.
Illissius : It's not really that odd. The GF6 tech is present in full, so the 6600GT does benifit from the better memory controller and other optimizations. However, as we notice, once we start enable filtering, the card is easily decimated by the competition. I think I'll stick with my 9800 Pro's for now.
mickyb : if memory serves correctly, the stock cooling fan was ~50 db back in May. It was still a little obnoxious for a fan, but nowhere near as bad as it's older brethren. Looking at the card Anandtech appeared to have, I'd guess the noise range was probably between 40-50 db. Doesn't look like Nvidia changed much.
DeathByDuke - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkargh, keep charts consistent!
also, would make more sense to directly compare to the 9800 XT/Pro, as they are in same price bracket, unlike X600/9600. meh. same applies to all the other sites. I dont give a damn if 9800 isnt on PCI-Express, tests have shown, like AGP 8x vs AGP 4x, theres no damn difference outside margins of error. so.... AGP 6600 should perform the same. At least we'd know then whether this £150 9800 Pro is worth it against a £150-£200 6600. I'm off to pray the X700 reviews dont pit it against a Geforce PCX 5300, Cos thats precisely what comparing a 6600 to a 9600/X600 is. Reply
ksherman - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkyeah i see it now... not sure how i missed that :D. It certainly sounds like a kickn' card! One thing i was disappointed about in the article was that you didnt try and overclock the card... That was one of the things that made the GForce2 MX a great buy. Im not sure if that is something that still carries into the current gen cards, but i would be interesting to see how well it ocs Reply

mickyb - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkHow loud is this card? I need something quiter than I have. I built a SFF system for my stereo rack and it looks like this card may be the ticket. Reply
Jalf - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkYeah, I wondered about that too. Why did some of the charts only show two cards? I wouldn't call it a piece of shit article, and the card does look like really great value, but I did wonder about that. :)
Still, I'd call it a good article, and a good card. Reply
Questar - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkOMFG I can't beleive what has happened to this place.
Can we please at least have the charts consistant from one page to another? Let's see on this page I'll make a chart with a 6800U and an X600, then on this page I'll throw in 10 other cards, and on the next page I'll take two out!
What a piece of shit article. Reply
Illissius - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkDidn't your card have 256MB memory by any chance? It's very, very odd how it pulls away from the 9800XT and 6800 at higher resolutions is some games, when by all logical reasons if there's any change at all compared to lower resolutions, the opposite should be happening...

The powers that be are spinning the British Fashion Awards as the triumph of the women — Victoria Beckham took home designer brand of the year; Stella McCartney, the red carpet award; Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton, designer of the year; Mary Katranzou, emerging talent — but as far as I am concerned the real stories are elsewhere. Of the above, only one, Katrantzou, shows in the UK. Meanwhile, two (Tabitha Simmons and Dellal) are actually shoe designers. And a third (Christopher Kane) won a new award invented for this year's ceremony. Hmmmmm.

Demolition work has begun at Wiltshire Council's former Bradley Road offices in Trowbridge, with nearby residents still concerned by what the future holds for the site.
The council intends to put the land up for sale as part of a cost-cutting exercise in which it will close 95 buildings and operate just three main hubs.
The council estimates that knocking down the Bradley Road offices, which closed in 2012, will save about £450 a day in council tax and national non-domestic rates.
But neighbouring residents have been disappointed by the time that it has taken for the demolition, during which it has suffered vandalism.
Wiltshire and Trowbridge councillor Graham Payne, who represents the area, said: "If it had to come down, then we were of the opinion that the sooner it did the better to stop further vandalism. The council are not telling me what their preferred option is for the site."
Residents are disappointed with a lack of communication over work on the site and have stated they would prefer to see a care home built there.
Celia Waghorn, of Bradley Road, said: "Something like Florence Court would be very reasonable, or we'd welcome something residential as opposed to any kind of retail.
"You couldn't have anymore retail in Bradley Road, as the town centre would become a ghost town."
The council's downsizing will create 18 campuses in communities across the county, and a spokesman said: "The site willbe marketed later this year, part of our transformation programme which is reducing the number of office buildings we own or lease."

Home > Resource Center > Restoration of Rights Project
NACDL is pleased to offer, as a resource for its members and as a service to the public, a collection of individual downloadable documents that profile the law and practice in each U.S. jurisdiction relating to relief from the collateral consequences of conviction. The profiles include provisions on loss and restoration of civil rights and firearms privileges, legal mechanisms for overcoming or mitigating collateral consequences, and provisions addressing non-discrimination in employment and licensing. In addition to the 54 jurisdictional profiles, there is a set of 50-state charts that make it possible to see national patterns in restoration laws and policies. The areas covered by the charts are summarized for each state.
These profiles and charts, prepared by NACDL member Margaret Love1, will be included in a forthcoming treatise on collateral consequences published jointly by NACDL and Thompson Reuters (West). Margaret Colgate Love, Jenny Roberts & Cecelia M. Klingele, Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Conviction: Law, Policy and Practice (NACDL/West 2012) (forthcoming). This treatise, the first of its kind to deal comprehensively with all aspects of a critical emerging practice area, will be available in late 2012.
The profiles and charts posted here were originally published in 20062 and have now been updated and substantially expanded. We are grateful to the many lawyers who helped prepare these materials for publication, and particularly to the law firm of Crowell & Moring LLP for its indispensable pro bono assistance.3
The profiles and charts are intended as a resource for practitioners in all phases of the criminal justice system, for courts, for civil practitioners assisting clients whose court-imposed sentence has long since been discharged, for policymakers and advocates interested in reentry and reintegration of convicted persons, and of course for the people with a criminal record who are seeking to put their past behind them. It is increasingly important, particularly since the Supreme Court's decision in Padilla v. Kentucky, for courts and practitioners to understand the penalties imposed on convicted persons beyond the sentence imposed by the court. Government officials also need to be able to determine the rights and responsibilities of convicted individuals, both to ensure compliance with the law and to provide appropriate advice to affected individuals. Individuals must understand the legal restrictions and social stigma to which they are subject by virtue of being convicted of a crime. Finally, it is important for legislators and citizens to understand the continuing burden that the law places on criminal offenders seeking a fresh start, so that they can make informed decisions about whether particular policy choices make sense. A resource presently being developed by the American Bar Association under a grant from the National Institute of Justice will go a long way toward filling this gap. See National Inventory of the Collateral Consequences of Conviction, www.abacollateralconsequences.org. The purpose of the profiles posted here is to provide information about how these collateral consequences can be avoided or mitigated in each state. The 50-state charts give an overview of how the legal systems of the several states provide for "second chances," and allow state-to-state comparisons.
The information in the profiles is solely for educational and informational purposes, and does not constitute legal advice. While every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy and currency, the law in this area is complex, voluminous, and constantly changing. Therefore, users are cautioned to research and verify the information independently at an official source. Nor does the interpretation of particular laws and rules on this website represent the official view of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. A date at the top of each profile and chart indicates the last time it was revised.
Comments and contributions are warmly welcomed by the author, who intends to update these materials regularly as developments in the law warrant and new information becomes available.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's tennis team will beginthe fall portion of its seasonwiththe Princeton/Farnsworth Invitational this Friday through Sunday. The events will be played at the Lenz Tennis Center.
Penn is one of five Ivy League teams in the field along with the host Tigers, Columbia, Cornell and Yale. The Princeton/Farnsworth Invitational will also include players from Binghamton, Bucknell, Buffalo, Fairleigh Dickinson, Georgetown, Monmouth, NYIT, St. John's, and Temple.
"It is always exciting to open the season, and the Princeton tournament has historically been very strong," said Penn's Albert G. Molloy Head Coach of Men's Tennis,David Geatz. "The tournament will provide us with a look to see exactly where we are as a team and as individual players."
Last year, the Quakers played well at home (8-2) but struggled on the road (1-9) in finishing the season with a 9-11 overall record.
"I think we are going to be very good this year, with the best freshman class in the Ivy League," said Coach Geatz. "Our freshmen have been great. They all work hard, are extremely talented, and they are the type of kids our alumni will be proud of."

New e-commerce site offering furniture, lighting, abc Collection and more.
Artek has announced the launch of their first e-commerce website servicing the United States.
Since the launch of the U.S. showroom and office in March 2010, Artek has worked to consistently offer outstanding customer service, establish a U..S warehouse and invest in stock to establish a quick-ship program servicing the North American market. Their sales structure has grown through new dealer networks and representatives supporting the dealers on a local level.
Through the purchase of the Tapiovaara collection in 2011, Artek has extensively increased its product collection and has been able to explore a wider segment of the furniture market with the different wood finishes and a variety of different stains. The recent acquisition of the Kukkapuro collection completes the portfolio of great Nordic masters. Earlier this year, Artek also launched the abc collection of accessories to offer Alvar Aalto's designs at every price point.
After achieving these milestones, the natural step became starting a U.S. website. With artekstore.com, Artek offers dealers and sales representatives detailed product information tailored to the American market. The site currently shows the abc collection as well as the quick-ship assortment. It will continue to grow to eventually house the entire Artek collection, ultimately serving as a resource library and inspiration gallery.
"The aim is to increase brand awareness and bring the Artek product collection in front of a wider audience. This will lead to an increase in sales traffic for our clients and dealers. All our preferred dealers that have invested in the brand in the past are listed on our site to drive traffic to the existing stores, our long-term partners. Artek can only continue to invest and develop new products if we are successful in sales. We trust that establishing a U.S. entity and the improvements in our customer service team have helped to serve our dealers better and we appreciate your support of the brand in return," says Simone Vingerhoets-Ziesmann, executive vice president of Artek USA, Inc.

Most shocking for Detective Sergeant Shannon Spargo when he started working in the Child Abuse Squad was learning of the massive amount of mistreatment across all strata of society.
But despite the volume, Spargo says the reward for working in such a gruelling area of policing was locking up offenders and, ultimately, improving young people's lives.
"It's certainly not pretty; the cases you read and obviously the significant volume of work is tough, but there is no other work that motivates you more to make a difference," he says.
"It's extremely traumatic, you don't realise how tough some kids' lives are until you're exposed to this."
Spargo says his two years with the Wollongong unit involved working on cases where kids faced physical harm, assault, sexual assault and extreme neglect.
"You've got to realise why you're there," he says. "There is no benefit to the child to make it personal. The process flows a lot better when you remain objective; you need to remove yourself from the case and obviously there are serious repercussions if you get too personally involved."
His squad works closely with other agencies to make up joint investigation response teams, including Community Services and health professionals, that process initial allegations and assessments through various criteria in child protection matters.
"There is no specific profile of a child abuser," Spargo says. "It's widespread and not in a specific area or specific group of people. An offender does not fit into one category."
At the end of the day, Spargo says he would switch off, simply "leave his work at work" and return to his own family.
"There are a number of reasons why people do this," he says. "There's those that do because they have the opportunity to do it, it's a power thing, but you can't say why people do this. There is never one specific reason."

Great quality
I recently ordered some branded pads in both A4 and A5 for our company, which look great and are very good value. My account manager Malaki was very helpful and quick to respond to all my various queries!
I recently placed two orders of promotional items, and was very happy with them. Prices are reasonable and relatively fast delivery. Jordan, my account manager, was always quick to respond to my emails and very helpful. Would recommend.
I was looking to get very specific branded products for an event my company was sponsoring and went through a dozen suppliers for someone who could deliver on our 7 working day turn-around. No supplier could deliver. Until I spoke to Amy Evans at Everything Branded! She took the time to listen to my company's situation and managed to arrange things so we could get the products finished. The finished product was turned around really quickly, the quality was surprisingly high (especially when you consider the reasonable price) and the staff (especially Amy Evans) were extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend them as a branded products supplier!
Competitive prices, fantastic customer service, good products. Our Account Manager in particular, Jai Chavda, has always delivered on price, turnaround and quality. Any issues have been swiftly dealt with to our satisfaction. Highly recommended.
I found this company on the internet and am really glad I did. Devon Robb went above and beyond the call of duty to help me with my order. The product I ordered was fantastic quality and value for money and arrived much earlier than promised.
Ross responded to my email very promptly and everything went smoothly, as usual. Very happy with the level of service received from Everything Branded and in particular with the level of service I received from Ross. Thank you.
Great products and processed extremely quickly. My account manager Ross Anderton kept me informed all the way through and was very helpful. Will definitely recommend and I will use them again
This is the third year I have used Everything Branded and as per usual they were as perfect as usual even though I left my order until very late they made sure my order arrived in time. Thank you Amy Evans
Efficient, prompt and cost-effective. What more can I say?!
I had been looking for some form of kite for a memorial party. Devon went above and beyond the call of duty to sort my search out quickly and efficiently for me. It made my week, she took an interest in my project and managed to sort it out so easily for me. I cant recommend this company highly enough and will certainly recommend them to people.
Having been let down by another supplier I needed an urgent delivery of branded bags for a charity event. The staff at Everythingbranded.co.uk surpassed all expectations and provided the best customer service I have experienced in years. They even managed to beat my tight deadline by 24 hours! Huge thanks to (in order of contact) Grace, Ross Anderton, Jordan, Amy Austick and Amy Evans who were all very professional and pleasant to deal with at every step.
Amy was great and fast at responding. She was also very accommodating with issues. I will def be back.
Adam was fantastic, really quick and gave a great price for the product. He was very accommodating in letting me pay a bit later than usual and was very friendly. Thank you!
Jiten dealt with a first time order over the telephone and by e mail in a very helpful ,friendly patient manner.He made the process seem easy by using excellent customer communication skills..We are looking forward to receiving our order soon and will certainly use the company again.Thank you Maureen Baker Edinburgh Froebel Network
We have ordered wristbands from Everything Branded twice now. They helped out with the design, and were happy to do a change to the design on the second run. The product was great! They are very easy to work with and have good lead times.
Very quick and efficient
Absolutey first class service from the design stage to the finished pen. Thanks Ross Anderton
Hi there I sent emails back and fore to Louis Henry who was very helpful and when I asked to change the coin tokens she did it with help from Ramsay as well she stated as we had at first a circular one and I asked if they would kindly re-design it as we wanted a UK token with new £1 coin and not the circular one they didnt with no fuss for us. Thanks again Paul Sheldon at Community Lives Consortium.
Fantastic customer service from Adam Squires. Very polite, friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend!

UF part of trial for new lung cancer drugs
Published: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 8:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 8:38 p.m.
The symptoms could have been many things: a lump in her throat, a wheezing sound, fatigue that no longer allowed her "to run circles around everyone," said a patient this week at Shands at the University of Florida who requested anonymity.
And the first diagnoses seemed relatively familiar: laryngitis, walking pneumonia — even a flare-up of the emphysema she'd had as a smoker.
But then one night an intense chest pain that roused her from sleep was so crippling that she had to investigate further.
The answer she looked for is not the one she wanted to hear: advanced stage small cell lung cancer.
"Not a good outcome," she said. "They told me if I did nothing, I would only live a couple more weeks."
Small cell lung cancer is the kind most commonly connected to smoking.
"I don't recall ever seeing a patient who was not a smoker," said Dr. Frederic Kaye, the co-director of the thoracic oncology program at UF.
"Advanced stage small cell lung cancer is a very aggressive tumor," Kaye added, and until recently, the same treatments had been used for about three decades — without much success.
But a new class of drugs that many believe is starting to change the course of cancer treatments may be making some headway with small cell lung cancer — and UF is among two dozen centers worldwide that are taking part in trials to test these drugs.
The drugs are known as antibody-drug conjugates. Commonly known as armed antibodies, and often described as missiles, they carry chemotherapy drugs that are unleashed only once the antibody reaches the targeted cell surface.
"The concept is pretty simple and analogous to a lock and key," said Dan Junius, CEO of ImmunoGen, the Massachusetts-based company that is developing monoclonal antibodies. Last month, the FDA approved a breast cancer drug called Kadcycla (T-DM1) that ImmunoGen developed along with Genentech/Roche.
The drug had extended median survival in women with advanced breast cancer who were enrolled in a trial by about half a year.
ImmunoGen is working on several other cancer-specific antibodies — among them, IMGN901, or lorvotuzumab mertansine, for advanced lung cancer. UF is one of a dozen centers in the U.S. and two dozen worldwide that is enrolling patients in the trial
"There's a history of frustration of developing new therapies for lung cancer. We recognize that in itself poses a challenge," Junius said.
Kaye added, "It's clear that small cell lung cancer is a very distinct clinical, biologic and genetic entity from other cancers."
Both Kaye and Junius say it's too early to tell if IMGN901 will work, but the efficacy of the treatments hinges on identifying the correct antibody, and "I think they picked a good one," Kaye said.
Like all the antibody-drug conjugates, IMGN901 is promising in that it may "offer the potential of prolonged progression-free and overall survival without complicating the existing toxicities," Junius said.
One of the advantages of these drugs, broadly known as targeted therapies, is that they hone in on the cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
The patient cited at the beginning of this story is one of a handful of patients enrolled at the trial at UF, and so far she reports few side effects to the drugs.
The trial might give her one good year of life, she said, and perhaps more depending on how her body responds to the treatment.
"I feel good about it because even if it does nothing for me, then there's the possibility it can for someone else."

We are the titer test experts. Our titer test results have been accepted at over 1,200 schools (listing) and facilities (listing) nationwide. We have successfully handled the titer testing needs of thousands of people for school, work, and vendor credentialing services like Vendormate, RepTrax, Symplr and more.
Through Accesa Labs, you can order a titer test online, get tested at one of thousands of affiliated lab locations, and receive your results electronically in as soon as 3 business days.
Our guaranteed titer test prices include the following:
All of the common titer tests have numerical results, also known as quantitative, which is required by most schools and workplaces (check the sample reports). Get conveniently tested at a lab near you (find the closest one to you using our Lab Finder).
What is a titer test?
A titer test is a blood test that measures specific antibody levels in your blood. Antibodies are special molecules produced by the immune system that protect you in the event that you are exposed to specific diseases.
Why are the titer test antibodies measured important?
According to accepted standards, a person needs a specific level of antibodies in the blood to be considered "immune" to that disease. If your titer test antibody levels are above the recommended threshold, you are considered to have immunity.
Are all titer tests the same?
No. A titer test is designed to measure your antibody level to a specific disease. Please click on the appropriate titer test(s) to learn more.
Are your titer tests quantitative or qualitative?
Our most common titer tests are quantitative meaning that you will get an actual number on your lab report. Quantitative titer results are typically the gold standard when submitting a titer lab report to a school, employer or healthcare facility.
Why should I get my titer test through Accesa Labs?
Through our national relationship with Quest Diagnostics, our customers have access to affordable, all-inclusive pricing for the titer tests they need. We know that titer tests are time-sensitive and our software delivers results as soon as they are available to us (i.e. fast). This is considered the gold standard for titer testing. Our titer test reports are accepted by schools, hospitals, and vendor credentialing companies nationwide and we offer a strong guarantee to our customers.
Do you offer a titer test for dogs or pets?
Although we like dogs and pets, Accesa Labs only offers a titer test for humans. Much like human titer testing, some people often want to get a titer test for their pets. The reasoning behind this type of titer test is to see if the pet has an adequate antibody levels in their blood. As is the case in humans, some people are concerned about the risks of excessive vaccinations and they desire to avoid unnecessary vaccinations in their dogs and pets. Most of the titer tests measured when considering vaccines for pets and dogs are different from the ones measured in human titer testing. If you are interested in learning more about a titer test in pets, please click here.
What does the titer test price include?
Our prices include the lab order that you need to get tested, all lab fees, a pdf copy of your results and, if needed, help interpreting your test results.
To see what a sample lab order looks like, please CLICK HERE.
Do I need a lab order from my medical provider?
No. Accesa Labs will provide you with a titer test lab order from one of our doctors. That is included in the price.
Do I have to pay more at the lab?
No. The lab will simply test you.
When do I get my titer test results?
Most test results are available in 3-4 business days. In many cases, we get the results in as soon as 1 business day but it depends on how fast the lab can process your titer test sample (out of our control). Our software checks for titer test results throughout the day and will send you secure access to a PDF of your results as soon as we receive them.
How old do I have to be to use this service?
You must be 18 years of age or older. If the patient is under 18, please see the Pediatrics page.
This sounds really easy. What's the catch?
There is no catch. Thousands of clients have used our online titer test services and value our affordable prices and great customer service. Check out our Testimonials.
Please contact us through support.accesalabs.com if you have additional questions.
