Growing up colonial meant babies in crash helmets and boys in dresses. Program developer Kristin Spivey compares childhood now and then.
Podcast (audio): Download (7.5MB)
Harmony Hunter: Hi, Welcome to the podcast. I'm Harmony Hunter. We've talked about life in the 18th century for all sorts of people on this program, but we don't often think about one very substantial group of Williamsburg's 18th-century population, and that's its children.
Program Developer in the Department of Public History Kristen Spivey is my guest today to help us think about what it was like to grow up in colonial Virginia. Kristen, thanks for being with us today.
Kristen Spivey: It's my pleasure.
Harmony: How is a child's life today different from what a child's life would've been like in the 18th century?
Kristen: Well, let's start at birth. First of all, birth was a very trying time just as it is today for the mother. But today when children are born, they are almost immediately identified saying, "This is a boy and I'm going to dress him a certain way. This is a girl and I'm going to dress her a certain way.†Whereas, in the 18th century, very young children were dressed identically. It was very difficult to tell which was a boy and which was a girl. And that went on until they were sometimes as old as five or six years of age.
Boys and girls would be wearing long white gowns and they would be put into stays after they were maybe beginning to toddle around -- both boys and girls. When they began to walk, they would be given what were called leading strings. There's a saying about being tied to your mother's apron strings. Well, in the 18th century to keep children safe, they would sew little bands of cloth to their shoulders. With that piece of cloth the mother could reach out and grab them if they were about to run into trouble.
Some people may have heard the saying, "He's a puddin' head.†Well, puddin' head actually referred to a pudding cap. The name comes from the look of this padded, some people call it a crash helmet. It is a actually a very sweet-looking little device that goes over a child's head when they were learning to walk.
If they fell, it was padded with probably any number of different things, but oftentimes wool inside a leather band. It went around the head and then was crisscrossed over the top so that it wouldn't fall down over the head and reach the neck. A child would wear that when they were learning to walk so that they wouldn't hurt themselves, and a small child learning to walk may be called a "puddin' head.â€
Harmony: So boys and girls until the age of about five you said, they would both be wearing these long gowns and then also stays, this tightly-laced undergarment that would support their whole trunk and abdomen. At what point did boys and girls start being dressed differently?
Kristen: Well about that age of five or six the girls might begin to be dressed similarly to their mothers. Although, actually some of them kept on wearing that little white gown.
Boys, on the other hand, would be put into their breeches and it was called being "breeched." And the breeches are usually down to the knee with a buckle to hold it in place, sometimes tied though. Then they would be wearing the stockings up to the knee, the breeches come down over that, a waistcoat, which is a vest, and then their shirt underneath that. Depending on what they were doing they might be put into a coat as well.
The girls, on the other hand, that little white gown can still be worn with stays. The thing is, it laces up the back so you do need help getting into it. The interesting thing about the little white gown was that usually they would have tucks taken in the bottom of the gown. As your child grew you could drop the tucks and that would allow you to put that same gown on a child while they were gaining in inches of height.
Harmony: At what age do they start going to school, or can we even think about them enrolling in school in the same terms that we do now?
Kristen: No, not really, at least not here in Williamsburg, let's put it that way. There were some places that had schools, but most of the time children were educated at home. Now sometimes the church might have classes taught by the minister, for instance, but most of the time children were learning their first letters, numbers, and a little bit of reading and writing from a parent. But there were no public schools certainly in the 18th century. There were tutors available.
You could hire someone to come in if mom and dad couldn't do it themselves or didn't have the time to do it. Tutors could be hired and they would teach the basics. Usually once you got past reading and writing and maybe a little bit of arithmetic, then there's a differentiation. Boys might well, if they're going on to the college certainly, they're going to start learning something like Latin and Greek and what was called natural philosophy, which is science, moral philosophy, which is religion and other much more difficult subjects.
Girls, on the other hand, they're going to start learning things specific to housekeeping because that's their greatest expectation is that they will be housekeepers. They will be mothers and those are the skills that they need to learn. They need to learn how to cook, how to clean. Keep in mind when we say "clean,†it's not just the vacuum cleaner and the dishwasher. They're doing it from making the soap. So you had to learn how to make the soap, and how to get that stain out of a wooden floor: that kind of thing.
Harmony: They enter into adulthood at an earlier age than our kids do today. At what age do they start getting married and setting up house for themselves?
Kristen: It's somewhat variable because, officially at least, boys are considered in legal terms are called infants until the age of 21. Nobody actually goes around calling them an infant, but that was the legal term was infant and girls 18. But many of them married before that age with parental consent. The age of 18 is the age of consent, which means they are able to marry without a parent's permission.
But many of them marry younger than that. Girls of you know 16 maybe, 17 that was not at all unusual. But actually by the end, third quarter of the 18th century most girls on the eastern seaboard were marrying in their early twenties, early to mid-twenties. Many, many women today of course wait their marriages until their 30s.
But the period that we are commonly representing here in Williamsburg, it was not unusual as I said to see 16, 17 but it was much more common to see early 20s for young ladies and mid to late 20s for young men.
Harmony: What kinds of representations of life for colonial youth can we find today in the Historic Area? If people come and visit what are they going to see that lets them know about the experience of children?
Kristen: Well we have many domestic sites in Colonial Williamsburg. There are children who work here -- we have over 100 kids who work in costume in the Historic Area mostly during the summer months when we have the majority of our families visiting. There are some who work throughout the year as well and they do the chores. They show how the chores are done, they show dancing, the lessons that the children learned in the 18th century.
And in the absence of children, when they aren't physically there, you see toys left lying around and games and different things of that sort. Clothing that they wore, you can find both in the homes and places like the millinery, where they show not just adult clothing but children's clothing as well. So there's a number of different places.
And of course the interesting thing to realize is if they go to visit any of the trades in Williamsburg all of them had apprentices and those apprentices were starting at a fairly young age.
Kristen: Well we have a number of different publications that are available. We have our family itinerary which says, "Looking for family fun?†It lists a number of the sites that are available that have activates for children, and some are about children.
Harmony: What other kinds of resources do folks have if they want to learn about things for kids to do in the Historic Area?
Kristen: We have a kids guide to Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area which is fairly new. And then we also have books that tell about life in the 18th century. We have one called "A Williamsburg Household,†which shows both the black and white sides of one house. And then we also have 18th century book that's available, it's called "A Little Pretty Pocket Book.â€
In the 18th century they just had started to have publications for children. So they might have little stories in them and poems to go with learning your ABCs and that way they could have a childhood. Because the idea of childhood was a fairly new idea in the 18th century. The idea of having a period of time when you were just allowed to be a child as opposed to a miniature adult.
Williamsburg is one of the best places in the world to come to learn about the 18th century and to learn about childhood in the 18th century.
Harmony: Kristen, thanks so much.

OMORI is an up-and-coming RPG from artist Omocat, based off of her comic of the same name. It tells the story of a young NEET named Omori, as he goes about his daily life living in an enormous white expanse. A depressed individual, he rarely gets out of bed, and when he does it's only to go on the internet or to grab a tissue. His eccentric and fun-loving neighbors, on the other hand, rarely sleep and their technicolor dreamworld repulses Omori, though he admits to liking them, somewhat. One day he finally works up the courage to try to experience their way of life. Eventually, Omori must make a decision on which world is real; the empty, lonely White Space, or the bright, insane world of his neighbors.Developed and launched on Kickstarter, Omori is a surreal, horror RPG that takes heavy references from other RPG's, most notably Earthbound. it has currently been funded, with several of it's stretch goals met, including a full Japanese localization, due to the heavy popularity over there. Music by Space Boyfriend and Slime Girls.

Youve discovered a new addition to our dryer venting line. This wall vent is unlike anything else on the market. Having been in R & D for over a year, this vent features a powder coated galvanized metal frame and a lightweight damper that is innovatively impenetrable to birds and
creates zero back pressure
Works great for new construction but was designed for ease in retrofitting the old inefficient legacy hooded vents.
YouTube Video demonstrating a complete retro-install
Unlike legacy and Mainstream wall vents, our Dryer Wall Vent is without hesitation a "Premium" fitting.
Without question, vent hood design or lack of, clearly remains the leading offender of inefficient back pressure levels in the dryers exhaust conduit. Actual laboratory test best demonstrate the range of back pressure levels that popular wall vents create. Values above .60 water column inch are considered in the industry as excessively restrictive. Values below .20 water column inch are considered very efficient.
The Dryer Wall Vents restriction coefficient is lower than any other wall vent weve tested. Less restriction in a dryer vent delivers real savings to your monthly energy bill.
Dryer vent hoods come in multiple styles. The objective of a vent hood for the dryer is basically two fold; prevent back drafts and prevent bird or rodent entry as well as nest building. We meet those objectives with a well-engineered lightweight damper that
Mitigates the ability for a bird to open the damper
Provides no Air-flow restriction
And is easily accessible to duct cleaners
The Dryer Wall Vent collar is sized to fit snuggly within the standard 4 seamed pipe. This feature becomes an advantage to installers and DIY's when retrofitting this vent but also accommodates new construction.
Sun and weather take a toll on plastic vents, and the typical aluminum hooded vents dent and deform easily. The stylish Dryer Wall Vent body is constructed out of Paint Grip (Bonderized) steel, then washed and powder coated to achieve an excessively weather tolerant and strong uni-body. The securing screws are hidden behind the damper.
The Dryer Wall Vent works with lap siding, stucco, brick and many other conventional sidings. The non powder coated hinge pin is aluminum to offer total corrosion-free protection.

How well does this prevent back drafts? I have seen some with a rubber piece the door closes onto and this looks like metal on metal.

The damper has a few features that keep the rodents out and the wind from creating a nuisance. First off the damper has a small return of material around the three edges, this makes it almost impossible for a squirrels finger nails to get anything to grip on to open it, as well as a bird beak. There are two small magnets in each corner of the damper that creates a slight hold on the door to hold the door closed when it is not in operation, and this minimized the chance that the damper could "bang" in the wind. There are also two rubber bumpers that the damper rests on and also minimizes any sound it could produce by closing.

Can this product be used for bathroom exhaust fans as well as dryers?
Asked by:
- 5/16/2014
(Submit an answer)
I just installed one for a basement bath fan. The fan puts out 65-70cfm. Exhaust is routed through about 30 feet of 4" pipe with one 90 degree turn. The flap on the dryer vent opens about half way. Airflow does not seem to be restricted at all.

This wall vent can and has been used for exhaust fans, but we recommend a minimal 65 CFM of air flow. Most of the inexpensive and smaller fans only produce about 50 CFM. Dryers produce about 200 CFM. Hope this helps.

How well does it perform under winter conditions? Snow, ice, extreme cold etc.
Asked by:
- 5/21/2014
(Submit an answer)
Good question Frank. Perhaps the best way to answer that, and this is from us the manufacturer; The wall vent has been on the market long enough to have made it through two winter seasons and to date we have not taken a call mentioning any inefficiencies or malfunctions due to extreme cold conditions. Total sales are sufficient enough to gain confidence that the product works in these extreme cases.

Great item
I am sick of plastic dryer vents cracking and discoloring in the MI seasons. They don't last. I had one on the house I needed to replace as well as add a bath fan exhaust. I was actually looking for something else when I stumbled across Dryer Vent's website. Glad I did. I now have two premium vents that are low profile. I like this as they are right beside my deck and people would notice our old one that was broken and clogged with dryer lint. Ugh! Not any more thanks to Dryer Vent! I spray painted mine with grey primer and will go over them in the spring to color match the house once we have it power washed. I have zero complaints about the product and look forward to many years of trouble-free usage.

Nice vent. Quality looks and function
After seeing an ad in Fine Homebuilding, I purchased this to replace my cheap plastic vent which was broken and sloppily installed. This new vent looks great and functions better than the plastic cheapies. My advice is to plan your project. Think about how you might mount this vent, like using a mounting block, and how you will seal the vent through your opening and around the outside. It is a quality product and deserves the best installation. Make sure you do it right!

Well made vent
After 2 less expensive plastic louver style dryer vents cracked and broke I decided to buy something more substantial. This is a metal vent that uses magnets to keep the flap door closed when dryer is not in use. It is well made and easy to install. Well worth the price. No need to paint.

The best I have ever seen
Finally someone has brought some quality construction to this specialized yet ubiquitous item. I was used to replacing dryer vents every couple of years due to the cheap plastic or sheet metal designs available. This vent is much superior to the others, and I am hoping that it will last a commensurately longer time.Got a brick or block wall, be sure to get the PVC mounting block.

Heavy Duty Dryer Vent
This is a great quality product that is well engineered. The shipping was quick and I was shocked at the heavy-duty nature of the construction. It took a little time to install as the builder flared out the 4 vent pipe causing it to be out of round. I will have no problem with it staying put without the use of mounting screws. The safety aspect of the product balances out the high cost. After winter I will inspect to see how any lint build up affects the operation of the door. I will mention this to my condo association if the product meets my expectations and may be soon buying one for my lake cottage. Reviewed by Virginia from Grand Rapids, MI. on 11/8/2014

Quality product!
I installed this vent as a retrofit after another company's builder grade vent failed. The retrofit aspect was important since I didn't want to tear out a brick wall to reattach. The vent is a quality constructed part. It's attachment matched well with the existing pipe and the install was easy overall. Finished install looks good and works well. The sealing when not in use is excellent. Highly recommend this part. Had to order from manufacturer because its too new to be in stock locally...but that should change in the next few weeks. Worth waiting for if you have to have it shipped :)

This is by far the best dryer vent on the market, would highly recommend to anyone. Would be nice if it were more available in stores. A little bit pricey after paying for shipping.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals TE Rob Housler cautiously optimistic for quick return
Saturday's preseason game could've gone better for Arizona Cardinals tight end Rob Housler.
In the second quarter of Arizona's 24-7 loss to San Diego, he dropped a potential touchdown pass from quarterback Carson Palmer in the end zone. Then, in the third quarter, Housler was forced to leave the game with what was eventually diagnosed as a high ankle sprain.
It's a big blow for both Housler and the team as he is expected to play a key role in the Cardinals' revamped offense.
Housler, who led Arizona's tight ends in receiving last year with 412 yards, has sat atop the depth chart at tight end for all of training camp. As for when he'll get back on the field, he said it was still too early to determine exactly how much time he'll miss, as he's waiting on the doctors for more information.
"I think I'll have a better grasp of it after the swelling goes down," Housler explained. He added that barring any setbacks he doesn't expect to miss much more than a few weeks, the typical time it takes to recover from that injury.
"Coming off the field, you always think you can play through a lot of that stuff," Housler said when asked if he knew how serious the injury was when it happened. "I wanted to be optimistic about it."
Housler was one of two offensive starters injured during Saturday's game, as the team also lost starting guard and rookie first-rounder Jonathan Cooper to a broken leg.

Ziegfeld Follies Of 1919
You'd Be Surprised
[1st verse:]
Johnny was bashful and shy
Nobody understood why
Mary loved him
All the other girls passed him by
Ev'ryone wanted to know
How she could pick such a beau
With a twinkle in her eye
She made this reply
[1st chorus:]
He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look like much of a lover
But don't judge a book by it's cover
He's got the face of an Angel
But there's a Devil in his eye
He's such a delicate thing but when he starts in to squeeze
You'd be surprised
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee
You'd be surprised
At a party or at a ball
I've got to admit that he's nothing at all
But in a morris chair
You'd be surprised
[2nd verse:]
Mary continued to praise
Johnny's remarkable ways
To the ladies
And you know advertising pays
Now Johnny's never alone
He has the busiest phone
Almost ev'ry other day
A new girl will say
[2nd chorus:]
He's not so good in the house but on a bench in the park
You'd be surprised
He isn't much in the light but when he gets in the dark
You'd be surprised
I know he looks as slow as the Erie
But you don't know the half of it, dearie
He looks as cold as an Eskimo
But there's fire in his eyes
He doesn't say very much but when he starts in to speak
You'd be surprised
He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week
You'd be surprised
On a streetcar or in a train
You'd think he was born without any brain
But in a taxicab
You'd be surprised

Report: Colts' Delano Howell's neck injury not career-threatening
Indianapolis Colts safety Delano Howell's injury is not career-threatening, reports ESPN.com's Mike Wells.
Howell hasn't practiced in more than two weeks after injuring his neck. He spent part of this week seeing a specialist in Minneapolis to determine how best to proceed with treatment.
Top 5 storylines for Week 1 of the NFL season
The safety also missed 10 games last season with a neck injury.
"Anytime there's anything with a neck, you have to cross your t's and dot your i's," Colts general manager Ryan Grigson said earlier this week. "That's a serious area. It's something that's been nagging him. He's going through the whole entire process of seeing multiple people so he can formulate that opinion with his wife and his agent and himself and us and make the decision that's best for Delano."
Howell was considered the favorite to start at safety after Antoine Bethea left for the San Francisco 49ers this offseason.
An undrafted free agent originally signed by the Buffalo Bills in 2012, Howell was signed by the Colts late in the 2012 season and has been with the team since.
On Tuesday's SI Now, the MMQB contributor Andrew Brandt and Sports Illustrated staff writer Ben Reiter discuss Robert Griffin III's current state and how Washington's front office should handle his health.

Aspirin therapy for aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (October 2014)
Aspirin desensitization followed by daily aspirin therapy is used in the treatment of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). The utility of aspirin therapy in patients who have asthma and chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis but who tolerate aspirin has been unclear. In a small trial, 20 patients with AERD and 14 patients with asthma and CRS with nasal polyposis, but without aspirin intolerance, were randomized to receive aspirin therapy or placebo [1]. Aspirin therapy improved several asthma and rhinitis outcomes and led to lower maintenance doses of inhaled glucocorticoids in patients with aspirin intolerance, but was not beneficial in patients without aspirin intolerance. Although small, the findings of this trial support the clinical impression that aspirin's benefits are limited to patients with intolerance. (See "Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease: NSAID challenge and desensitization", section on 'Efficacy of aspirin therapy in AERD'.)
Mepolizumab for severe asthma associated with peripheral blood eosinophilia (October 2014)
The anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody mepolizumab has previously been shown to reduce exacerbations in patients with severe asthma and eosinophilic airway inflammation. Two additional trials validate using peripheral blood eosinophil counts to select patients with severe asthma who are likely to respond to mepolizumab, demonstrate comparable effects of intravenous and subcutaneous preparations, and show a glucocorticoid-sparing effect.
●The larger multicenter trial (MEpolizumab as adjunctive therapy iN patients with Severe Asthma, MENSA) evaluated mepolizumab (given either intravenously or subcutaneously every four weeks) in patients with severe asthma and eosinophilic airway inflammation despite high-dose inhaled glucocorticoids [2]. At 32 weeks, exacerbations were reduced by approximately 50 percent for the groups using mepolizumab given by either route, compared with placebo.
●● In a group of patients with severe asthma requiring systemic glucocorticoids, the SteroId ReductIon with mepolizUmab Study (SIRIUS) compared subcutaneous mepolizumab, given every four weeks, with placebo [3]. At 20 weeks, mepolizumab allowed a median reduction in the systemic glucocorticoid dose of 50 percent, decreased the number of asthma exacerbations, and improved control of asthma symptoms.
Mepolizumab is not commercially available at present, although it is under review by regulatory agencies. (See "Alternative and experimental agents for the treatment of asthma", section on 'Anti-IL-5 antibodies'.)
Intermittent montelukast for acute wheezing episodes in young children (September 2014)
Several randomized trials have examined the intermittent use of leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) in preschool children with recurrent wheezing, with mixed results. The most recent trial adds to the data that do not favor this approach in most children, although specific subgroups based upon genotype may benefit. In this trial, over 1300 children aged 10 months to 5 years with a history of two or more wheezing episodes were randomly assigned to intermittent montelukast or placebo at the onset of any subsequent wheezing episode over a 12 month period [4]. No difference between the groups was seen in the frequency of unscheduled medical visits for wheezing episodes, although subgroup analysis suggested the response to montelukast was modified by arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) genotype. Further study is needed to define and confirm these subpopulations. (See "Treatment of recurrent virus-induced wheezing in young children", section on 'Intermittent leukotriene-receptor antagonists'.)
Clusters of enterovirus D68 infections in the United States (September 2014)
Since August 2014, clusters of severe respiratory infections due to enterovirus D68 have been reported across the continental United States [5,6]. These have occurred predominantly in children with a prior history of asthma and have been generally characterized by low grade or absent fever with wheezing, dyspnea, hypoxia, and perihilar infiltrates. Infection has also been associated with rare cases of limb weakness with spinal cord lesions on imaging. The possibility of enterovirus D68 should thus be suspected in cases of severe respiratory illnesses without alternative explanation, particularly in young children. Treatment is supportive and prevention relies on basic hygienic measures, including handwashing with soap and water. Alcohol-based sanitizers may be ineffective against enteroviruses. Enterovirus D68 had previously been implicated in smaller clusters of respiratory infections but was otherwise rarely reported. Additional surveillance information can be found on the CDC website. (See "Virus-induced wheezing and asthma: An overview", section on 'Enterovirus D68 infection' and "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of enterovirus and parechovirus infections", section on 'Respiratory disease' and "Epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of enterovirus and parechovirus infections", section on 'Serotypes and disease'.)
Long-acting beta agonist olodaterol for use in COPD (August 2014)
Olodaterol, a once-daily, long-acting beta agonist (LABA), is approved for the treatment of COPD in the United States, Canada, Russia, Denmark, and several other countries; it is not approved for use in asthma. In two trials that included a total of 1838 subjects with moderate-to-severe COPD, 24 weeks of olodaterol resulted in significant improvement in airflow limitation and quality of life, compared with placebo [7]. Similar results were seen in a separate pair of trials that included a total of 1266 subjects and lasted 48 weeks [8]. In all reports, adverse events with olodaterol were comparable to those of placebo. (See "Management of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", section on 'Beta agonists'.)
Interplay between allergen and bacterial exposures in the development of asthma (June 2014)
Data have been conflicting about the role of allergen exposure in the development of asthma and recurrent wheeze in children. The Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma (URECA) study assessed allergen exposure in a large birth cohort at high risk for asthma, and also bacterial content of house dust in a nested study of 104 children [9]. Accumulated allergen exposure over the first three years of life was associated with increased allergic sensitization and with recurrent wheeze at age three, but exposure in the first year was negatively associated with recurrent wheeze. Moreover, the combination of early-life exposure to these allergens with high-level exposure to bacteria in house dust was associated with a further reduction in risk of recurrent wheeze by age three. These observations suggest that the effects of early life allergen exposure may differ from those of cumulative exposure and that the combination of high-level allergen and bacterial exposure in early-life may be protective against allergen sensitization and recurrent wheeze. (See "Risk factors for asthma", section on 'Influence of bacterial exposure'.)
An anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin monoclonal antibody shows promise in allergic asthma (June 2014)
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-cell-derived cytokine that may play a role in allergic inflammation. In a proof-of-concept study, 31 patients with allergic asthma were randomly assigned to receive the anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody (AMG 157) or placebo intravenously, once a month for three doses [10]. On day 84, patients who received AMG 157 demonstrated significant blunting in their response to inhaled allergen, when compared with those who received placebo. This study provides support for anti-TSLP as a novel therapy for allergic asthma; further studies are planned. (See "Alternative and experimental agents for the treatment of asthma", section on 'Anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin'.)
Pediatric health effects of public smoking bans (June 2014)
Policies that ban indoor smoking in workplaces and public places have been associated with long-term health benefits in adults. Smoking bans also appear to be associated with immediate health benefits in children. In a meta-analysis of quasi-experimental observational studies, public smoking bans were associated with reductions of approximately 10 percent in preterm births and hospital admissions for asthma [11]. Some of the effects may be mediated through home smoking bans, which often are prompted by public smoking bans. Additional studies are necessary to determine the effects of smoking bans on respiratory tract infections and other child-health outcomes. (See "Control of secondhand smoke exposure", section on 'Public smoking bans'.)
Statin therapy does not reduce COPD exacerbations (June 2014)
In observational studies of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), statins have been associated with a reduced rate and severity of exacerbations, rate of hospitalizations, and mortality. However, these beneficial effects were not supported in a trial that randomly assigned 885 participants with COPD, but without other indications or contraindications for statin therapy, to simvastatin or placebo for up to 36 months [12]. Simvastatin did not reduce the rate of exacerbations or the time to first exacerbation. (See "Management of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", section on 'Ineffective interventions'.)
Breastfeeding and development of asthma (May 2014)
Studies of breastfeeding are invariably subject to confounding, and data regarding the effects of breastfeeding on the prevention of asthma have been conflicting. In a systematic review and meta-analysis, the strongest protective effect of breastfeeding was seen in the birth to two years age group, in which rates for both "recent asthma" and "asthma ever" were consistently reduced, regardless of duration or exclusivity of breastfeeding [13]. This protective effect decreased with age, which is consistent with findings from individual studies that followed children until adolescence and found that breastfeeding was ultimately not protective against asthma in the highest risk children. The early reduction in asthma-type symptoms is probably due in part to the decreased number of clinically significant respiratory tract infections seen in breastfed infants. (See "The impact of breastfeeding on the development of allergic disease", section on 'Breastfeeding and asthma'.)
HLA-B*1502 testing prior to oxcarbazepine therapy (June 2014)
The HLA-B*1502 allele is associated with an increased risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis due to carbamazepine, and screening for this allele is recommended prior to initiating therapy in patients with Asian ancestry, who are more likely to carry the allele. Although data are weaker for the relationship between oxcarbazepine-induced hypersensitivity reactions and the HLA-B*1502 allele, the two drugs have similar chemical structures, and preclinical data have shown a direct interaction between oxcarbazepine and the HLA-B*1502 protein. For these reasons, the US Food and Drug Administration has revised the oxcarbazepine label to suggest testing for the HLA-B*1502 allele in genetically at-risk populations (ie, those with Asian ancestry) before initiating treatment with oxcarbazepine [14]. (See "Overview of antiepileptic drugs", section on 'Oxcarbazepine'.)
Recurrence of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (June 2014)
Although there are reports of recurrence of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), the overall risk of recurrence is unknown. In a 10-year population-based cohort of 708 patients hospitalized for a first episode of SJS or TEN, 7.2 percent of 581 survivors were hospitalized for a second episode and 1.4 percent had multiple recurrences; lack of direct access to medical records precluded information about medication exposures [15]. The median time to first recurrence was 315 days. The high risk of recurrence after a first episode of SJS/TEN may reflect a long-lasting vulnerability or a genetic predisposition to severe drug reactions. (See "Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis: Management, prognosis, and long-term sequelae", section on 'Recurrence'.)
Infant feeding practices and risk of celiac disease (October 2014)
In the past, epidemiologic studies suggested that an infant's risk for developing celiac disease might be reduced by introducing gluten gradually between four and six months of age, ideally while breast feeding. This hypothesis was not confirmed by two new randomized trials, which found no association between the timing and manner of gluten introduction and celiac disease risk. One study included 944 infants in eight European countries who were at high risk for celiac disease because of their genetic profile. The infants were randomized to receive a small amount of gluten daily from 16 to 24 weeks of age, versus placebo [16]. There was no difference in celiac disease prevalence at three years of age, and the prevalence did not vary with exposure to breast feeding. A second study included 832 infants from Italy with high risk for celiac disease who were randomized to dietary introduction of gluten at six months of age versus 12 months of age [17]. Early introduction of gluten was associated with higher risk for celiac autoimmunity and overt celiac disease at two years of age, but there was no difference between the groups by five years of age, and no association with breast feeding was found. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of celiac disease in children", section on 'Infant feeding practices'.)
CTLA-4 haploinsufficiency with autoimmune infiltration (CHAI) disease (October 2014)
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on regulatory T (Treg) cells. Based on studies of four unrelated families, haploinsufficiency of CTLA-4 has been shown to result in an autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS)-like disorder with dysregulation of Treg cells and hyperactivation of effector T cells. Patients demonstrated lymphoproliferation, lymphocytic infiltration of nonlymphoid organs, autoimmune cytopenias, and B cell abnormalities with hypogammaglobulinemia [18]. A similar spectrum of clinical complications can result from CTLA-4-blocking agents (eg, ipilimumab, abatacept) that are used in patients with cancer and autoimmune disease. (See "Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS): Clinical features and diagnosis", section on 'CTLA-4 haploinsufficiency with autoimmune infiltration (CHAI) disease'.)
Modified retrovirus vector for X-linked SCID gene therapy (October 2014)
Gene therapy is an effective treatment for primary immunodeficiencies such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). However, it is associated with leukemia due to retroviral vectors preferentially integrating into proto-oncogenes. A self-inactivating retrovirus vector, in which the long terminal repeats containing viral enhancer sequences have been deleted, is under study for the treatment of X-linked SCID [19]. Seven of nine infants have been successfully treated using this vector, with decreased clustering of insertion sites within lymphoid proto-oncogenes and no reported cases of leukemia during the median 29.1 months of follow-up. Longer-term follow-up is necessary to confirm lack of leukemogenesis with this modified vector. (See "Gene therapy for primary immunodeficiency", section on 'X-linked SCID'.)
Inheritance patterns in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (August 2014)
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation seen in patients of all ages, predominantly infants and children. Gene mutations affecting cytotoxic lymphocyte function are often found. Genetic testing in a series of 2701 patients has now revealed a previously unappreciated mode of inheritance in HLH. In addition to homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for mutations in a single HLH gene, the disease can also be caused by digenic inheritance, in which separate mutations in two different HLH genes are found [20]. The specific genes involved appear to affect the age of disease onset. (See "Clinical features and diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis", section on 'Genetics'.)
Donor source and transplantation outcomes for severe combined immunodeficiency (August 2014)
Historically, HLA-matched related donors have been the preferred donor source for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and other primary immunodeficiencies, but most patients do not have such a donor available. Results from a series of 240 infants with SCID who had undergone HCT show that excellent survival is possible with any donor type if the transplantation occurs in the first 3.5 months of life and before the onset of infection [21]. Survival at 5 years was high regardless of donor type among infants transplanted at ≤3.5 months of age (94 percent) and among older infants who had not yet developed infection (90 percent) or whose infections had resolved (80 percent). (See "Hematopoietic cell transplantation for primary immunodeficiency", section on 'Early identification' and "Hematopoietic cell transplantation for primary immunodeficiency", section on 'Donor source'.)
Effect of intranasal fluticasone furoate on growth in children (August 2014)
Intranasal glucocorticoid sprays are the most effective single therapy available for allergic rhinitis, but are associated with a potential for systemic absorption that is of particular concern in growing children. Most previous studies were reassuring in this regard. However, in the largest trial to date, maximum dose intranasal fluticasone furoate resulted in a slight reduction in growth velocity in prepubescent children [22]. In this trial, more than 400 children ages 5.0 to 8.5 years at study entry with perennial allergic rhinitis were randomized to receive fluticasone furoate or placebo for 52 weeks, which resulted in a reduction in growth velocity of -0.27 cm/year (95% CI, -0.48 to -0.06 cm/year). There was no evidence of adrenal suppression. Of note, the protocol in this study did not allow for dose reduction once symptoms were controlled, which is often recommended when using these agents. Thus, a very small reduction in growth velocity is possible with some intranasal glucocorticoids, and dosing should be adjusted downward to the lowest effective dose that maintains symptom control. (See "Pharmacotherapy of allergic rhinitis", section on 'Safety in children and adults'.)
Diagnostic criteria for mucous recirculation syndrome (July 2014)
Mucous recirculation syndrome is an acquired disorder of impaired mucous clearance in which mucus draining through a sinus ostium re-enters the sinus through a different ostium and recirculates, rather than draining out through the nasopharynx. It is a cause of refractory chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Based upon a cohort of 12 patients and review of the literature including an additional 44 cases, researchers have proposed diagnostic criteria for mucous recirculation syndrome and described various recirculation patterns [23]. Proposed diagnostic criteria are: CRS not responding to oral or topical therapies, visualization of mucous recirculation between two or more ostia by rhinoscopy, and resolution of symptoms with surgical treatment. (See "Management of chronic rhinosinusitis", section on 'Mucous recirculation syndrome'.)
Recombinant C1 inhibitor for hereditary angioedema (August 2014)
Recombinant human C1-esterase inhibitor (conestat alfa) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema in adolescents and adults [24]. This agent has been available in some other countries since 2011. It is collected from the milk of transgenic rabbits, and all patients should be screened for allergy to rabbit before receiving this agent, because severe allergic reactions have been reported in patients with pre-existing rabbit allergy. Studies directly comparing recombinant to plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor are lacking, although available data suggest that they are similarly effective. The recombinant product has a shorter half-life, requiring higher doses to achieve adequate plasma levels. (See "Hereditary angioedema: Treatment of acute attacks", section on 'Efficacy and adverse effects'.)
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in adults ≥65 years of age (September 2014)
The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) has been recommended for many years in the United States for all adults ≥65 years of age. In September 2014, the United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) began also recommending the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) for all adults ≥65 years of age [25]. Current recommendations for individuals ≥65 years of age who have not previously received either PCV13 or PPSV23 are to administer PCV13 followed 6 to 12 months later by PPSV23 (algorithm 1). In patients who have already received PPSV23, at least one year should elapse before they are given PCV13.
The ACIP revision was prompted by results from the CAPiTA trial. This randomized placebo-controlled trial, including approximately 85,000 adults ≥65 years of age in the Netherlands, demonstrated the efficacy of PCV13 against vaccine-type pneumococcal pneumonia, vaccine-type nonbacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia, and vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease [26]. However, some concern has been raised that since this trial began before PCV13 was used routinely in infants in the Netherlands, it might not answer the question of whether its use in adults is efficacious in countries that routinely vaccinate infants. (See "Pneumococcal vaccination in adults", section on 'Indications'.)
ACIP recommendations for the 2014-2015 influenza season (August 2014)
In August 2014 the United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) released updated recommendations for the prevention of seasonal influenza with vaccines [27]. Important changes from previous recommendations include:
●A preferential recommendation for the nasal spray vaccine (live attenuated influenza vaccine, LAIV) over the intramuscular injection (inactivated influenza vaccine, IIV) for children two through eight years of age who do not have specific contraindications to the nasal vaccine (eg, asthma, egg allergy, diabetes, immunosuppression). UpToDate agrees with this recommendation, but also prefers LAIV for children older than eight years. If LAIV is not immediately available, IIV should be administered to avoid missing an opportunity for influenza immunization. (See "Seasonal influenza in children: Prevention with vaccines", section on 'LAIV compared with IIV'.)
●Changes to the dosing schedule for children six months through eight years of age (algorithm 2). (See "Seasonal influenza in children: Prevention with vaccines", section on 'Schedule'.)
Recommendations for adults are largely unchanged. (See "Seasonal influenza vaccination in adults", section on 'Overview'.)
Efficacy of high-dose influenza vaccine in elderly adults (August 2014)
Due to concern that standard-dose influenza vaccines may be less effective in elderly adults than in younger adults, a high-dose influenza vaccine, Fluzone high-dose, has been developed. In a trial that included more than 30,000 adults ≥65 years of age, Fluzone high-dose was modestly more effective than standard-dose Fluzone [28]. Among individuals in the high-dose group, 1.4 percent had laboratory-confirmed influenza associated with an influenza-like illness compared with 1.9 percent in the standard-dose group (relative efficacy 24.2 percent). The rates of serious adverse events were similar with the high-dose and standard-dose vaccines. For individuals ≥65 years of age, we prefer Fluzone high-dose when available rather than a standard-dose inactivated vaccine. However, the United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has not stated a preference for Fluzone high-dose over the standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine in older adults [27,29]. (See "Seasonal influenza vaccination in adults", section on 'High-dose vaccine' and "Seasonal influenza vaccination in adults", section on 'Choice of vaccine formulation'.)
Influenza vaccine administration by needle-free jet injector (June 2014)
Needle-free vaccine technology could be useful for immunizing needle-phobic patients and reducing the risk of needlestick injuries. In August 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an intramuscular inactivated influenza vaccine (Afluria) for use with a jet injector device (PharmaJet Stratis needle-free injection system) for adults between 18 and 64 years of age [30]. The jet injector uses a high-pressure narrow jet of liquid vaccine to penetrate tissue [31]. In a randomized trial in healthy adults, the immune response to influenza vaccine was comparable when administered by jet injector device or needle and syringe. The jet injector device was associated with a higher frequency of local injection site reactions. (See "Seasonal influenza vaccination in adults", section on 'Needle-free jet injector'.)
Emollient therapy from birth and incidence of atopic dermatitis (October 2014)
Epidermal barrier dysfunction is a key factor in the initiation and progression of atopic dermatitis. Two randomized trials, one performed in Japan and the other in the United States and United Kingdom, found that enhancement of the skin barrier with daily application of emollient reduced the incidence of atopic dermatitis at six to eight months of age in infants at increased risk (ie, those with a parent or sibling with atopic dermatitis) [32,33]. Although the long-term efficacy of this treatment needs to be evaluated in larger studies with extended follow-up, emollient therapy from birth is a simple, inexpensive, and safe intervention that may prevent the onset of atopic dermatitis in the first year of life. (See "Treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema)", section on 'Prevention'.)
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant for advanced systemic mastocytosis (October 2014)
Some advanced forms of systemic mastocytosis (SM), specifically SM with an associated hematologic nonmast cell lineage disorder (SM-AHNMD), mast cell leukemia (MCL), and aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), have carried poor prognoses. However, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) has been performed with increasing frequency for these disorders. The largest series to date evaluated outcomes of 57 patients who were treated with allo-HCT, using different types of donors and conditioning regimens [34]. Overall, 70 percent of patients responded, and nearly one-third demonstrated complete remission. Survival at three years was 74, 43, and 17 percent for SM-AHNMD, ASM, and MCL, respectively, which was significantly greater than historical controls, particularly for patients with SM-AHNMD. Myeloablative conditioning regimes were superior to reduced intensity regimens. Thus, these preliminary results are encouraging and further prospective trials are needed. HCT is not appropriate for indolent or cutaneous forms of SM. (See "Treatment and prognosis of systemic mastocytosis", section on 'Hematopoietic cell transplantation'.)
STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (August 2014)
Autoinflammatory diseases are due to pathogenic inflammation that arises through aberrant, antigen-independent activation of the immune system. A new autoinflammatory disease in children, stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI), has been identified [35]. SAVI is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding STING (TMEM173, transmembrane protein 173). Patients present in early infancy with tachypnea and/or rashes (telangiectasia, pustules, and/or blisters) and develop marked vascular inflammation limited to the capillaries. Most patients also have recurrent low-grade fevers. Patients have not responded to the usual drugs used to treat rheumatologic disease, but blockade of interferon signaling is a potential therapeutic strategy. (See "Periodic fever syndromes and other autoinflammatory diseases: An overview", section on 'Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis'.)
Dupilumab for atopic dermatitis (July 2014)
Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits downstream signaling of IL-4 and IL-13, cytokines of type 2 helper T lymphocytes (Th2) that are believed to play a key role in atopic diseases, including asthma and atopic dermatitis. Dupilumab was evaluated in four small, industry-sponsored randomized trials in adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis [36]. In the largest study, 109 patients received weekly subcutaneous injections of dupilumab 300 mg or placebo. At 12 weeks, patients in the dupilumab group had a greater reduction in the Eczema Area and Severity Index score, body surface area affected, and pruritus than patients in the placebo group. Nasopharyngitis and headache were the most frequent adverse events. Although the results suggest that dupilumab may be a promising treatment for atopic dermatitis, additional studies are needed to evaluate its long-term efficacy and safety. (See "Treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema)", section on 'Experimental agents'.)

Hey Guys, here's my stab at an Irish Pale Ale we hope to start Friday, which will give us 4 batches ready in time for Saint Patrick's day. Unlike our other 3 batches, this will be a little sweeter and lighter colored, so we can dye it green and it will contrast well with our special porter. Please let me know if you see any potential deal-breakers...
6 lbs Extra Light DME
1 lb English Crystal 17L (steep)
1 lb Brown Sugar 60 mins
1 oz Willamette 60 mins
.5 oz Fuggle 30 mins
.5 oz Fuggle 15 mins
.5 oz Fuggle 5 mins
1 tsp Irish Moss 15 mins
16 oz Irish Cream Syrup 15 mins
Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale)
A little explanation of the name..."Windy" is an Irish slang term meaning 'weak looking and possibly gay' taken from irishslang.net. I'm not usually a fan of the lighter beers, but I think this one will turn out well.
16 oz Irish Cream Syrup 15 mins
I'd hold off on this until the clearing or bottling stage, so you can tune the amount. When you add it would depend on how much sugar it contains.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

OK, haven't updated this since brewing it.
We brewed it and it tasted great going into secondary, we added the Irish Creme and it didn't taste so good. After sampling when we bottled it did not taste so great. The flavors were very over-bearing. Well St. Patty's came and each week as we sampled it got better. A lot of people actually liked it. It has started to grow on both of us as well...
After a couple more weeks the flavors have mellowed great together, a week in the fridge and the beer is really smooth and you get a good bit of the Irish Creme flavor.
Just goes to show, sometimes even your worst beer turns out great.
