- Really great findyummymumDined on 23/11/2014We booked Angels with Bagpipes with some reservations, owing to the name, but reassured by good reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent, and good value too. For the main course, we all chose the braised beef with risotto, a dish that surpassed our expectations. Starters and desserts were similarly pleasing. The service was friendly and professional, including a complimentary glass of prosecco as we sat down (we had let them know in advance that it was a birthday celebration). We will definitely book again when next in Edinburgh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Private LunchEdinburghFoodieDined on 22/11/2014Booked this Saturday lunch online as a birthday celebration. Asked for their small Halo room. Had a phone call the day before to confirm my booking, and was advised that the Halo room was already booked. No problem. But on arrival the other booking had cancelled so we got it after all - bonus! It's a very friendly restaurant, and the staff are very welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious - we went with the lunch menu and were all very satisfied with our food. I had mackerel pate with beetroot, served in a small kilner jar, followed by pork belly, which was very tender and not at all fatty. Dessert was a chocolate mousse, followed by good coffee. This would be a restaurant I would come back to in Edinburgh. Very conveniently located. A real find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very goodladyguruDined on 18/11/2014First time of visiting this restaurant. Met a friend for lunch and very enjoyable it was tool Service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious, especially the 8 hour slow braised beef. Wine is a tad expensive. Surroundings very minimalist but chic. Would definitely recommend and will also visit again to try out the dinner menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not great!LincslassDined on 16/11/2014The food, service, wine etc. were good but the place lacks atmosphere. The tables in the main room are too close together and the decor is modern bordering on austere.Special Features:
- Perfect experienceReynoldsDined on 9/11/2014My partner and I had just got engaged and were meeting family for lunch. This couldn't have been a more perfect venue with fantastic staff, lovely food and great value. They even gave us a bottle of prosecco on the house to celebrate our news!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary Dinner PoorOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/11/2014We attended the restaurant on Saturday 8th November and were given a table downstairs. We were given a complimentary glass of bubbly as it was our wedding anniversary, I though that was a lovely touch. I ordered the Venison and when asked how I wanted this cooked advised the waitress that I would like it medium well, to which she replied it is served medium rare.....why ask me in the first place???? When I received my meal the venison was rare.....not what I asked for as I can't eat it red , they took it back and cooked it again but when it was brought back I couldn't eat it as it was still not right and I didn't want it as my husband had finished his meal by this time. I will not be visiting this restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
- excellent lunch!bobabooDined on 8/11/2014A group of 6 of us had the 3 courses for £18.95 deal...fantastic food at a great price with excellent service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pencaitlandDined on 8/11/2014Have given a low score for ambience as our lunch was marred by a very small man with a very big voice who told his three companions (and the rest of the diners) in great detail what he would have done with the food on the menu. Not the restaurant's fault but it did rather spoil our lunch. Won't stop me returning though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HeavenlyOmNomDined on 5/11/2014Delicious food, friendly and efficient personnel, warm and relaxed atmosphere, this is truly one of Edinburgh's finest restaurants.Special Features:
- A special occasionMarymcDined on 31/10/2014As an out of town visitor to edinburgh I was looking for somewhere special to have a birthday meal with my friends and this restaurant was recommended by a friend of a friend. I checked it out on line and liked everything but the price. But we went ahead and booked anyway. It was well worth it!!! The food was delicious, the staff lovely and the ambience was spot on. The only downside was that it was a little cramped, too many tables for the size of the roomSpecial Features:
- Outstanding food qualityKmblancsDined on 26/10/2014We dined in the restaurant on Sunday evening celebrating my husbands 40th and after reading many reviews we were not disappointed. The atmosphere and service were very good but the food was amazing. The goats cheese starter was gorgeous and the steak and lamb were great main course choices. Only criticism would be that the food came slightly quick but certainly didn't spoil our experience. Would highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely settingMrsHDined on 25/10/2014Had a great meal, fantastic food in a lovely setting. We were seated upstairs, with a view out to the courtyard. Service was great until after themain course whenit dropped a little, staff began to seem a little disinterested. Didn't spoil our meal though and would highly recommend this restaurant, loved the trout with creamed leeks and black pudding!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our second visit...LuvgdfoodDined on 24/10/2014We first visited Angels with Bagpipes during our visit to Edinburgh over Easter. We therefore knew that during our second visit to the city there would only be one restaurant to spend our evening. The restaurant was very busy but staff looked after us before showing us to our table a few minutes later. I skipped the starter as I remembered how fantastic the desserts were. I had chicken breast with leg tortellini, celeriac and kale which was so moist and amazing. My husband had the Pollock which he continues to talk about. For dessert we ordered chocolate brownie and parfait with Apple sorbet which we shared. The flavours were amazing and I would say one of the best desserts I have had and we can't wait to return to Angels with Bagpipes.Special Features:
- ShambolicAlanDined on 23/10/2014A very embarrassing situation created by a staff member who's incompetence embarrassed my wife, my business guest from America and myself due to a card machine communication error. After waiter walked around trying to get a signal on his machine and failing, he came to the the table and instead of saying there is a problem with the machine, in a very loud and clear voice declared "I'm sorry Sir but your card has been declined" the whole restaurant turned around and stared at us. My wife and guest were devastated, I was purely livid knowing that there was nothing wrong with the card. I immediately went to the front desk where my card was processed without error. Totally unacceptable and with little remorse, so unprofessional.
- Wonderful evening...would return!StarchickDined on 19/10/2014We had a great evening here.... the atmosphere was perfect, low lighting but not too romantic... the menu came and it was very limited - at first we struggled what to choose but when it came it was perfect. I had rib eye steak, medium rare, and beautifully cooked with the best thin chips I have ever had. My sister had the salmon - so perfect she had to take a picture! Puddings were lovely too. The service was good but could have been a bit more attentive. The decor and atmosphere was outstanding. Would definitely come back.Special Features:
- Excellent food and serviceedinburghfanDined on 18/10/2014We dined at Angels with Bagpipes last Saturday as a birthday treat and it was our second visit. The food and wine were excellent and the atmosphere very welcoming. The location and facade of the restaurant are stunning and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.Special Features:
- Great food but...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 18/10/2014Beautiful Food. Waitresses very helpful but the restaurant had a weird system of ordering . Was told we couldn`t order Food "just yet" but could take wiine order even though waitress standing With nothing to do at the time. Sam was said to all tables was a bit confusing as most people like to order wine after they have decided what they were eating. It was a bit to rigid.Special Features:

- Great food!DanCarDined on 11/10/2014The food is fantastic, we had 2 appetizers and 2 entrees, all of them were a feast to the palate. Portions are small though, but I noticed that on all the good restaurants in England. I guess that is why they usually have a cheese plate on the dessert menu. The ambience is cozy and the service good. The only problem is that my husband ordered a a second drink that never came. I highly recommend the restaurant, the experience was great overall.Special Features:
- Enjoyable MealjimjaxDined on 11/10/2014We enjoyed a very nice meal and were able to swap from the lunch menu to the al a carte - I started with Mackerel Pate and it came in a Kilner Jar, it was topped witth a beetroot jelly and served with Melba Toast, delicious. My husband had the Mussels which were plump and full of flavour, we both opted for the Rib Eye Steak which was beautifully cooked. We will return to this little gem.

Excellent value for money.Special Features:

- good food - but not a lotcherryberryDined on 13/9/2014While the food was delicious unfortunately there was not alot of it, so much so my partner and i needed a pizza later on as we were starving. The food itself was lovely, however there isn't much of a selection on the full menu. the service was impeccable despite them turning people away every 5 mins because they were fully booked all night. Price wise its not particularly cheap but not expensive - if the plates were a little larger i would say it was excellent and good value for money, possibly the lunch is better. location and atmosphere are great - table at window gave you the music on the Royal mile as entertainmentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fabulous DinnerStevieBDined on 10/9/2014My partner and I had dinner here on the evening of 10th September 2014, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We were seated in the smallish dining room at the rear of the building overlooking one of Edinburgh's old "closes". The ambiance was lovely - not silent and stilted but also not as loud as a brasserie. The staff were excellent, the two young ladies who served us were friendly and chatty but not at all intrusive. The food of course was the star of the show. We both thorough enjoyed our meals. The menu is not huge, but this I feel enables the chefs to produce delicious, good quality food of a consistently high standard. If it's available, try the haggis in film pastry starter! A lovely and enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- great mealziiyiinDined on 9/9/2014Excellent service. Value for money for their 3 course set meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fab food let down by serviceChoristerDined on 8/9/2014A very pleasant evening, but in general the excellent quality of the food was let down by inexperienced waiting staff. Water glasses went unfilled for long periods, aperitif glasses still on the table at the end of the meal, trying to clear plates when one of us was obviously still eating. The food was truly excellent, though - a beef tartare starter was a particular highlight but the overall standard was very high.Special Features:
- A birthday treatWallo691970Dined on 6/9/2014Having had the incredible meal at Michael Neave's Kitchen & Whisky Bar the night previous Angels with Bagpipes was always going to struggle to impress but thankfully my birthday meal was still worthy of much Facebook blogging and enjoyed by all four of us that attended. The availability of steak tartare on the menu put to rest the question did I like it (a definate yes) and it was for me the highlight of the meal. The rump of lamb main was top drawer but for me lacked the depth of flavour I enjoyed at Michael Neaves the night before but was enjoyed none the less. The quality of food was undoubted, the execution refined, so in all an enjoyable birthday treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent again.chance4Dined on 5/9/2014Second time here,first time was as a party of four,which exceeded our expectations.This time it was just two,an anniversary.I mentioned this when booking online and we were given a wonderful ,intimate space just two steps up from the bar.Glasses of fizz were delivered as soon as we sat down,which was nice!Menus and bread were served and we ordered our wine and food.The presentation added to the sense of occasion and the food was fabulous,the service was attentive without being intrusive.Front of house staff were extremely professional.This is fine dining without pretension.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

2006 Tasting Notes
Ok, I'm back from Chicago and back to consistant tea drinking! I can't wait to go through all my new teas from Europe, plus I just got a swap package from Jillian while I was away, so I have even more teas!
I was looking through my collection for a black tea for the morning(ish), and while I couldn't recall about some of them, I was pretty sure this one was. True! I was of course intrigued by this tea because of the "marzipan" flavor that is part of it. When I was at Dammann Freres they said that it was a 100g minimum on teas, but that they could maybe do 50g on some teas if I was getting a few. It was pretty vague, but I ended up getting two teas in 100g and three in 50g packages (Mariage Freres was 100g no exceptions), and this was one that I went ahead and got 100g of.
The dry leaf on this one has an aroma of floral fruitiness which is surprising, with an underlying sweet almond to it. I got one huge pink peony petal in my brew this time. The aroma of the brewed tea is more almondy and that "biscuit" note is really coming out.
The flavor is… wow, complex. While still very hot, I get a powerful, intense rush of floral at the beginning of the sip, which quickly morphed into a calmer biscuit note, and then the tail of the sip and the aftertaste is decidedly marzipan. Wow. As it cools the floral notes calm down a bit, and stretch themselves out over more of the sip, lingering on the tongue a bit along with the marzipan. Well cooled (but still warm), it's very almondy-marzipanny, but with an overlying floral taste that compliments it very well. Definitely an A+ tea for me!
I got this in a swap and I absolutely ADORED it! I have been to their website so many times thinking about placing an order.
Vague – how French of them ;)
So, did you go to the Dammann Freres in Paris? If I missed a post about this, please forgive me, and point me toward it! If not, when you have time, would you care to post about your experience? I saw photos of the shop in Paris and it is sooooo elegant.
I did go to both Dammann Freres and Mariage Freres while I was in Paris. I didn't do a post, but you've reminded me that I want to add a post to the Places section! I'll let you know when I get it up there. It was definitely awesome!
JacquelineM – I just posted a review of Dammann Freres (and one of Mariage Freres) in the places section! Let me know if you want to know anything about the shop. I really loved it!
Well, I'm back from Europe, though I'm leaving again for Chicago tomorrow for a college reunion. In any case, choosing a tea from the many I brought back was an almost paralyzing decision, and while I initially wanted to start out with one of my fancy French teas, circumstances dictated that I needed something else. I needed a black tea to combat afternoon jetlag, and I needed a tea without too much going on since I'd be doing other things at the same time. This one was a natural choice.
I've been casually looking for an almond tea that said almond to me in the way that I love, namely marzipan or almond extract, but I had yet to find one that really was right. When I was in London I stopped at this tea shop, and when I smelled this tea I knew I had to buy it. The dry leaf smells powerfully, amazingly, like the freshest marzipan or perhaps the aroma of a bottle of almond extract. Interestingly this tea company had a different plain almond black tea that smelled much different, but this one was specifically marzipan: what I was looking for.
Brewed, the aroma changed quite a bit and the marzipan aroma wasn't quite as all-powerful as it was in the dry leaf. The black tea base became a real partner in the aroma, and this was born out in the taste. It's a nice, strong black tea with a very almondy, marzipanny flavor. There's also a kind of generally nutty note underlying things as if you were acutally eating a nut, probably from the almond pieces included in the blend. The tea was very slightly bitter, but it wasn't too much. I don't usually sweeten my teas, but I have a feeling that a bit of sweetener would probably really turn this into a marzipan bomb.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this tea, and I feel like it's a nice blend of the marzipan and black tea flavors without being too much of one or the other. A good purchase!
This tea is pretty common at coffee shops here in Warsaw, and I had a pot of it this afternoon. For a bagged tea, it was actually pretty tasty. I know for sure that this is a Ceylon base, since the company makes a big deal about how their tea is 100% single-origin Ceylon. The bergamot was strong enough to be the main event, but not overpowering, and overall the flavor was fairly well-balanced.
A nice basic tea, and a decent option when on the go, but once again I'm finding it lacking a certain depth of flavor, as with the bagged Twinings EG I had earlier, though I do think I prefer this one of the two, probably due to the origin differences of the black tea base.
How funny that I've been having so much tea here in Warsaw, when I hardly had any in London and Paris! But I'm here for longer, so I'm doing a bit less running around frantically, and thus have more time to sit down and have a pot of tea. This time it was at Cafe Blikle on ul. Nowy Świat, which is the cafe front of the famous Polish confectioner A. Blikle. Today on ul. Nowy Świat the street was all roped off and Obama drove past no less than three times while I was walking and having my tea!
Anyway, A. Blikle also has their own tea blends, and this one is a pretty classic Russian-style, and it was done well. The aroma of the steeping tea was of bergamot and general citrus, and a smooth creamy-vanilla, like an Earl Grey Cream. The taste was pretty true to the smell; a smooth bergamotty flavor with bright citrus notes on the end of the sip. The creaminess of the aroma isn't as present in the sip, just providing a smooth, sweetish background for the citrus. As it cools the note at the end of the sip gets slightly more bitter, but not unpleasant, more of just a lemony-sour-bitter.
I let the second cup steep a bit longer (but not too long, yay for tea pots with a steeping basket so I can stop the steeping!), and it was very much the same, though a little stronger and the creamy notes were even further diminished. All in all a very nice cup of tea and a nice execution of this kind of blend!
While I was at this tea house I went on kind of a binge and ordered a second pot of tea! This time I made it green since I wanted less caffeine for the evening. This one had lemongrass, lemon peels and mallow flowers in the mix.
The aroma was very lemony with some distinct green tea notes as well. Once again I had two cups of varying steep times; as an aside, a pet peeve of mine is surely tea houses that serve their tea for one in a pot large enough for two cups that has built in strainer with no way of arresting the steeping time. In this case, by the time I got to drinking the second cup the green tea had started to become bitter with oversteeping. Anyway, the first taste of this was literally lemony and grassy, with flavor from both the lemon and the grassiness of the green tea coming through. As the cup cooled it acquired more of a lemony citrus fruit taste. This was a pretty decent tea, but nothing wowing. Often I've experienced that mallow flowers will add a smoothness or creaminess to a tea, but that wasn't the case here. Just a very strongly lemony brew!
Now here's a tea company that probably won't get any other ratings but mine; this is a tea house (or herbaciarni) in the New Town of Warsaw, and I'm pretty sure their tea blends are their own. I've been drinking almost nothing but Earl Grey lately, due mostly to lack of selection, but here I had some options! I chose this one based on the fact that it was supposed to be black tea flavored with vanilla, jasmine and lavender, some of my favorites.
I had a pot with about two cups in it and no way to stop the steeping, so I had two differently steeped cups, one at 5 minutes and one much longer. If I looked in the pot I could see jasmine flowers floating at the surface, and the aroma was that of lavender and some other general floral scents. The first cup was decidedly tasty, but hard to pick out the individual flavors; it was like they just completely melded together or something. If I looked I could maybe find hints of lavender and vanilla, but I wasn't getting jasmine. I'm not sure what the base tea was, but it was imparting a lot of its own flavor, including a distinct spiciness, like cinnamon. The second cup was much stronger, and the spicy black tea base pretty much overwhelmed the other flavors. It was pretty tasty, but not what I was looking for. At this point I had about a half of a cup left and I got distracted eating, so when I came back to it, it was pretty much cold. Now here's where it blew me away with awesome jasmine in the aroma and the taste. I wanted more! This would probably be great iced. Too bad I'll never get to really find out! (it didn't look like they were selling the tea)
Yesterday morning I stopped at a coffee shop to possibly get some tea, and I noticed that said coffee shop was serving teapigs tea, which definitely surprised me as I am in Warsaw now. I've never had teapigs but I've heard it is good, so it was a pleasant surprise.
Side note: I love how Earl Grey is universal, at least in Europe. Whether you're ordering a tea, or a thé, or a tee, or herbata (in Polish), it's always "Earl Grey", no one translates it. :)
Anyway, I saw that they were doing the Darjeeling Earl Grey, and though I don't think I'm the biggest fan of Darjeelings at this point, I ordered it anyway. My steeping environment was less than ideal; I was running around a huge underground circle trying to find the right staircase up to get the tram I wanted. I thought about stopping the tea at 3 minutes, but tried a taste and decided it could go longer, thinking just another minute or two, but by the time I found another trash can for the sachet it had steeped for 6 minutes.
Still, no bitterness! And the tea surprised me further that I definitely enjoyed it. I seem to like Earl Greys best with a Ceylon base, but this Darjeeling was pretty good! The bergamot was definitely present in the flavor but not very strong (I'd maybe have it a little stronger, as long as it didn't venture into the bitter-bergamot territory). The Darjeeling base was light, bright, almost grassy, and I'm pretty sure it was the Darjeeling (possibly interacting with the bergamot) that gave it a light note on the end of the sip that I eventually identified as distinctly lemony.
Overall a solid EG that I would drink again (and probably will while I'm in Warsaw), but I don't think I'll be switching to Darjeeling EGs all the same.
I have a long layover in Köln (Cologne) before I get on my night train to Warsaw, and this afternoon I hit a wall and just had to get a pick me up [edited; initially my iPhone autocorrected this to "pickle up"]. This is the first cafe I found with free wifi, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the "tee" in pyramid sachets. I have no clue what company supplies their tea, and if website seems to imply it's their in-house label. It does say that the base tea is from India; I'm not sure if that world view includes Sri Lanka, but it tastes like a Ceylon base to me. Which is great for me, and I'm enjoying the cup quite a bit. A nice recharge this afternoon for the rest of the trip!
I've had a couple of cups of this in the mornings while here in London because it's pretty much what every cafe sells. And I find it interesting how far I've come! I feel like when I first started drinking tea I would have (and I believe I did) like this one a lot. It doesn't get bitter very easily, has a nice strong bergamot flavor that's not to astringent and that says "Earl Grey" pretty plainly, but there's just not much else going on. It seems… flat. I think it has to be the black tea base. It just lacks a depth of flavor I've come to expect from my favorite teas. It's perfectly serviceable, but when compared to the EG I had at teapod the other day for instance, they're in completely different categories.
Incidentally, I've discovered that I've completely lost my taste for plain black generic tea bags (be they Twinnings or whatever)… I used to drink them on occasion when traveling, for instance, and now I can't even finish a cup.
Backlogging… I had a pot of this yesterday at the teapod shop in Covent Garden. After a full day of running around to tea and record shops, it was just what I needed. I let it brew for 3 minutes but I think it was probably going for at least 30 seconds before she brought it out to the table.
The brewed tea had a light aroma that smelled primarily like black tea with a hint of citrusy overtones. The taste, however, was full and rounded. Lovely rich bergamot taste that was very floral, with a light lemony overtone that was no doubt coming from the lemon peels in the mix. The tea wasn't bitter at all, and was pretty light tasting for a black; overall I enjoyed it a lot, and ended up a buying a pouch to take back with me!

You see this trope everywhere these days: in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy; in the Aussie reality TV show that sent a busload of drag queens to "educate" the beer-swilling inhabitants of South Australia; in Glee, in which pretty much every storyline involves a monosyllabic jock having his prejudices corrected by a shy, erudite gay kid.

Harold Bloom remarked that, taking the four great tragedies as a given (Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear) every Shakespearean had a special tendresse for one of the other works.

ABSTRACT: Tissue injury secondary to surgical lesion produces profound changes in endocrine-metabolic function and defence mechanisms in the patient (inflammatory, immunological), leading to an increase in catabolism, immunosuppression and postoperative morbidity. The best anaesthetic and surgical technique should be capable of modulating this response, especially in major surgery, where it can be most harmful and increase patient morbidity. Many of the changes that maintain homeostasis are controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The autonomic-adrenal response is usually immediate, compared to the hypothalamus-pituitary gland, which is slower and longer lasting. Cytokine synthesis and release is one of the earliest stages in the response to tissue lesion. The most frequently studied cytokines in surgical stress response are IL-6 and TNF-α. Inflammatory mediator concentrations are direct indicators of perioperative stress, while haemodynamic changes are considered the indirect indicators of this response. Multiple anaesthetic techniques have been described to modify the stress response in patients undergoing elective surgery. The aim of this review is to present clinical evidence on perioperative stress modulation with different anesthetics. We also describe a different point of view in immunomodulation with the intraoperative management of haemodynamic responses with inhalational bolus of sevoflurane or with remifentanil intravenous bolus. The effects of sevoflurane used as an inhalational bolus to counteract patients' intraoperative haemodynamic responses modulates the immune response the same than opioid remifentanil.Current pharmaceutical design 03/2014; · 4.41 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Small changes in the frequency of the electromyography could reflect an inadequate anesthetic or analgesic level, and it could be more specific than the hemodynamic monitors. The Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Entropy Module includes information about the electromyographic activity of the face muscles (response entropy--RE). The aim of our study is compare entropy and BIS ability to detect a nociceptive stimulus during a sevoflurane anesthesia. We designed an observational, prospective and descriptive study that included 20 patients. We performed sevoflurane anaesthesia induction, the end-tidal was kept at 3 and 4 %, during 15 min at each concentration, with no analgesic drug and no neuromuscular blocking agent, and we applied a nociceptive stimulus: tetanus 100 Hz, during 5 s. We set the standard monitorization, BIS, RE, and state entropy (SE) along the study. There was a significant difference between RE and SE post-noxious stimulus values at 3 and 4 % end-tidal sevoflurane (p < 0.05). Only RE changed significantly at the moment of the noxious stimulation at both sevoflurane concentrations studied (p < 0.05). In patients under general anesthesia only carried out with sevoflurane at concentrations that inhibit the movement to painful stimuli, the RE is a single parameter able to detect variations after the nociceptive stimulation.International Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing 03/2012; 26(3):171-5.

ABSTRACT: The use of levosimendan (Simdax(®)) was described in cases of acute cardiac failure in patients with peripartum cardiopmyopathy. We report the case of a 36 years old Philippine woman with an undiagnosed dilated myocardiopathy. She developed an acute severe left ventricular dysfunction in the early postpartum period after a cesarean section, possibly related to the recurrence of an unknown peripartum myocardiopathy. Due to failure of the conventional treatment with diuretics and inotropic support, an intra-aortic balloon with counter-pulsation was inserted. In rescue, treatment with levosimendan permitted to wean the patient from haemodynamic support, and a heart transplant was probably avoided. Three months later, a new echocardiography showed a persistent left ventricular dilation and a still marked alteration of left ventricular ejection fraction (28%).Annales francaises d'anesthesie et de reanimation 10/2010; 29(11):807-10. · 0.77 Impact Factor
Article: [Maternal hypotension with low doses of spinal bupivacaine or levobupivacaine and epidural volume expansion with saline for cesarean section].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJETIVE: Epidural volume extension (EVE) with saline solution can contribute to greater cephalad spread of drugs injected into the subarachnoid space during cesarean section. We studied the incidence of material hypotension with spinal bupivacaine or levobupivacaine (L-bupivacaine) and the spread after epidural saline injection. After ethics committee approval, we randomized women scheduled for cesarean section to 4 groups to receive 5 mg of 0.25% bupivacaine with (n=51) or without (n=6) saline EVE; 5 mg of 025% L-bupivacaine (n=50); or 6 mg of 03% L-bupivacaine (n=50). All patients also received 25 microg of fentanyl per 2 mL of local hyperbaric spinal anesthetic. In all except the non-EVE group, 10 mL of saline was infused through an epidural catheter 5 minutes after anesthetic infusion. We recorded patient demographic data, procedural and anesthetic times, incision-clamping times, occurrence of hypotension, ephedrine dose required, motor and sensory blockade, requirement for rescue analgesics, and neonatal outcome. After 6 patients had been randomized to the non-EVE group, no further patients were assigned because all the women required rescue analgesics. Demographic data, duration of procedure, time between. incision and delivery, and Apgar scores were similar in all the groups. The incidence of hypotension was lower in the group receiving 5 mg of L-bupivacaine (26% vs. 52.9% in the bupivacaine 5-mg group, and 56% in the 6-mg L-bupivacaine group, P = .04). More women given 5 mg of L-bupivacaine required rescue analgesia (46%) than did those receiving 5 mg of bupivacaine (235%) or 6 mg of L-bupivacaine (28%) (P = .039). Hypotension was associated with a lower umbilical cord pH (P = .001). Ephedrine doses over 20 mg were also associated with a lower umbilical cord pH (P = .031). The incidence of hypotension was lowest in the group anesthetized with 5 mg of L-bupivacaine, but the need for rescue analgesia was greater in this group. Doses of 5 mg and 6 mg may be sufficient for cesarean section, as they provide a good level of sensory blockade.Revista espanola de anestesiologia y reanimacion 05/2010; 57(5):267-74.

ABSTRACT: To describe the management of severe postpartum hemorrhage. Prospective observational study from July 2005 to November 2007 in women who were admitted to the recovery unit of a tertiary referral hospital due to postpartum hemorrhage. We analyzed incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and associated risk factors. The study included 21,726 deliveries (124 with severe bleeding). Postpartum hemorrhage was more common after an instrumental delivery (odds ratio [OR], 4.54) and after a cesarean delivery (OR, 2.86). The risk factors identified in the study population were multiple gestation pregnancy and fetal death. One patient died due to disseminated intravascular coagulation. The main causes of bleeding were uterine atony (45.2%) followed by vaginal tearing (26.6%). Treatment was provided using packed red blood cells in 96.8% of the patients, fibrinogen in 49.2%, prothrombin complex in 7.25% and activated factor VII in 3.2%. Selective arterial embolization was performed in 10.5% of the cases (success rate, 84.6%) and hysterectomy was required in 13.7%. The main complications were need for postoperative mechanical ventilation (11.3%), myocardial ischemia (4%), pulmonary edema (4.8%), acute renal failure (8.9%), ventricular fibrillation (0.8%), and death (0.8%). The incidence of severe postpartum hemorrhage in patients treated at our hospital is low, as is the mortality rate. Use of fibrinogen is common and provides good results. Angiographic embolization is very effective, though the percentage of hysterectomies is still high. Multiple gestation pregnancy and fetal death are associated risk factors.Revista espanola de anestesiologia y reanimacion 04/2009; 56(3):139-46.
Article: Observational study of continuous spinal anesthesia with the catheter-over-needle technique for cesarean delivery.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Few studies have assessed the efficacy and safety of continuous spinal anesthesia in obstetrics, although placement of a catheter in the intrathecal space theoretically offers advantages in these patients. Ninety-two women scheduled for elective cesarean delivery using continuous spinal anesthesia with the catheter-over-needle technique (22- or 24-gauge Spinocath) were included in the study. The doses of local anesthetic used, hemodynamic variables, use of ephedrine and other drugs, and incidence of complications such as technical failure and postdural puncture headache (PDPH) were recorded. The mean (+/-SD) dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine used was 8.2+/-1.8 mg. The incidence of hypotension was 30% and the mean total dose of ephedrine was 4+/-7 mg. The continuous spinal anesthetic technique failed in 18 women (20%). The overall incidence of post-dural-puncture headache was 29%; 18% of patients with post-dural-puncture headache required a blood patch. Compared to previous reports, the incidence of block failure and PDPH in this study was unacceptably high and therefore the risks of the technique appear to outweigh the advantages of continuous spinal anesthesia in obstetric practice.International journal of obstetric anesthesia 03/2009; 18(2):137-41. · 1.85 Impact Factor
Article: Oxigen level monitoring[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Monitoring of respiratory gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, volatile agents), is considered highly important for the practice of anaesthesia and also a standard monitoring technique during anaesthesia. Paramagnetic oxygen analysers are the most common form of oxygen analyser used for monitoring inspired oxygen levels. Paramagnetic and mass spectrometer methods are suitable for analysis of respiratory gas mixtures. Fuel cell and polarographic methods are suitable for blood gas analysis. Mass spectrometry is a very accurate technique. Copyright © 2009 Aran Ediciones, S. L.Actualizaciones en Anestesiologia y Reanimacion 01/2009; 19(3):98-104.
Article: Labour pain non neuroaxial analgesia techniques: Recommendations, efficiency and adverse effects[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Labour pain is individually felt by women and it can be the most painful experience that a woman can feel in all the life. That is the reason because the analgesic offer for labour pain should be wide and adapted to individual needs and adapted too to the environmental conditions (hospital and not hospital labour). The most effective technique for labour pain is epidural or neuraxial analgesia. This technique is sometimes unavailable for different reasons, such as: contraindication, not available in hospital, and woman's refusal. Non pharmacological techniques can be offered to laboring women, as example: acupuncture, massage, emotional support, etc. Its efficacy is variable and not completely studied. Systemic analgesia is another analgesic option and we remark the use of pethidine, as the most popular opioid for labour pain, and remifentanil, as a recently developed analgesic option. Self-administered inhalatory drugs have been commonly used in United Kingdom in the last century, although its use in Spain is nowadays unusual. Opioids and inhalatory drugs must be delivered in a hospital, with protocols and specialist medical care, what means the anesthesiologist guard duty. Copyright © 2009 Aran Ediciones, S.

Article: Obstetric haemorrhage[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Massive obstetric haemorrhage is a very important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in developed countries and in third world countries. Massive obsteric haemorrhage has a coagulopathic component and a vascular or surgical component that are often associated in the same patient. Nearly two thirds of patients cannot be identified with risk factors for obstetric haemorrhage, although a good knowledge and early identification of associated risk factors is helpful for its prevention in many cases. Obstetric haemorrhage is not always adequately identified or treated, because blood loss is underestimated by clinical observation. Postpartum haemorrhage is the cause of 95% of all obstetric haemorrhages. In this group, the main cause is uterine atony. Women's resuscitation objective is thr intravascular volume restoration, to reach and adequate tissue perfussion pressure. Once an obstetric haemorrhage is diagnosed, it is very important a coordinated, rapid and protocolized treatment. Rational use of blood components, team work with the blood bank, the use of pharmacological and surgical resources readily, are necessary actions in this context. It is highly recommended prompt implication of senior staff in severe obstetric haemorrhage resolution. It is recommended the use of local protocols for each maternity. This protocol must be known by all team members and it must be adapted to local hospital characteristics, and should be periodically revised. High risk patients for obstetric haemorrhage, must be transferred to a level III hospital where all resources can be used if necessary. Copyright © 2009 Aran Ediciones, S.

Yen falls to 2-1/2-year low after Japan official's comment
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The yen tumbled 2 percent against the dollar to hit a 2-1/2-year low on Thursday after a Japanese economic official said the government has no problem with the dollar hitting 100 yen.
The yen has lost more than 10 percent of its value since November, weakening to about 90.50 per dollar from 80, on expectations that the new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, will force the central bank to ease monetary policy to combat deflation.
But the yen's decline stalled earlier this week after the Bank of Japan said its open-ended commitment to buy assets would kick in only next year, disappointing investors who had expected far more aggressive easing measures.
"That disappointment only opened the door for bargain hunters who are now driving yen crosses up again due to the fact that Abenomics is still in play, and it will likely continue," said Neal Gilbert, market strategist at GFT in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his cabinet members are now aiming for 100.00 on the dollar/yen, and we can expect more verbal, political and monetary rhetoric until that goal is reached," Gilbert added.
The dollar rose 2 percent to 90.36 yen, a day after hitting a one-week low of 88.03 yen. At current prices, it is the biggest one-day percentage gain since October 31, 2011. The dollar had risen as high as 90.54 yen on Reuters data, the strongest since June 2010. Gains accelerated after the pair broke above resistance at 90.25, the high on Monday.
Traders cited reports quoting Japan's deputy economy minister, Yasutoshi Nishimura, as saying the yen's decline is not over and a dollar/yen level of 100 would not be a concern. Nishimura was also quoted saying that only if the dollar rises to 110-120 yen would it add to domestic import costs.
"At some stage, the ability of this jaw-boning and verbal intervention to drive the yen lower will become subject to diminishing returns, but that does not appear to be the case yet," said Bob Lynch, chief currency strategist at HSBC in New York.
A record trade deficit for Japan and comments by Abe that he expected the Bank of Japan to achieve its 2 percent inflation goal as soon as possible added to selling pressure.
Strong readings on the U.S. economy showing the number of new claims for jobless benefits dropped to a five-year low last week lifted U.S. bond yields, which also helped the dollar against the yen.
The euro rallied 2.5 percent to 120.91 yen, having risen to 121.06 yen on Reuters data, a 21-month high. Traders cited Asian central banks as major buyers of the euro as they stepped up yen selling.
Against the dollar, the euro rose 0.5 percent to $1.3377, not far from the 11-month high of $1.3403 hit on January 14, which is acting as near-term resistance. Support was cited at $1.3250, near lows touched on January 11.
Private sector activity data highlighted the diverging fortunes of the bloc's biggest economies. Weak performance in France was offset by numbers out of Germany showing that its private sector expanded at the fastest rate in a year.
"The better PMI reading suggests a euro zone economy that is starting to stabilize," said Aroop Chatterjee, currency strategist at Barclays Capital in New York. "It's not out of the woods yet, but the economic and financial conditions are certainly better now than last year."
Traders said macro funds and asset managers were buying the euro, and if data continued to show prospects for the region were improving, the currency could rise further.
Some analysts said the announcement on the size of next week's first repayments of cheap three-year loans taken by banks from the European Central Bank just over a year ago could give the euro a bit of a lift.
Banks took more than 1 trillion euros in the long-term refinancing operation loans from the ECB. A Reuters poll showed traders expected about 100 billion to be paid back next week.
Option traders reported strong demand for euro calls - bets that the euro will rise - for expiry on Friday.

"We get it - your funny."
If she would tell stories more from the heart. She didn't reveal anything interesting or in depth which is why one would buy a book from someone like her. Whats beyond Americas funny girl.
Shared more of her instead of her writing team of sometimes boring jokes.
I'll stick to her show and cover girl ads.
errr ahhh mmmm
"Funny but average"
I enjoyed it but thought it would flow a little better.
Life/s lessons
Yes it was and ellen is always worth listening to.
"I ADORE Ellen, but..."
Maybe....She always has good & uplifting points in the book, and that's what I try to walk away with.
happy & uplifting thoughts
probably not
I was expecting better
"Funny stuff for a long drive"
Her sense of humor and positive outlook were refreshing and made a long drive much smoother.
Ellen doesn't just read the paragraphs.... it's more like she's acting or delivering a stand-up monologue. I loved it.
It's a short, funny book, so it's great on Audible. Complex literature is not well suited to the audio format.
I hadn't listened to/read any of her previous books, but I love her TV show.
Sure, that would've been great. But because I only listen to Audible books in my car, it took me about 3 days to finish it. It made me laugh even while in traffic.
If you like Ellen or love comedy in general, you'll really enjoy the book.
"I love Ellen, but this book was very boring."
I was not impressed by this book. I 100% adore Ellen, but this book was very mediocre.
"Love Ellen... a bit disappointed in the book!!"
Would have liked it more if Ellen read the story more like she talks in real life on her show. Sounded too much like reading, not as funny as I expected and I love her humor!!
Kyle L. Peck
"GREAT, as always!"
Ellen is always entertaining. This one is every bit as good as her previous audiobooks. I wondered if it would be too similar, but I really liked this one, too. Laughter really is important, and you'll get a real lift from this book
"Seriously Ellen?"
There wasn't any rich content. Maybe it was the audiobook and that I wasn't sitting down reading it... but I was bored out of my mind and I don't think I really laughed once. I watch Ellen almost daily, I love her and the charity work she does. I love her family. But this book was just so self-promotional and bleh.
It's also very self-promotional. She says she's at a point now where she feels totally comfortable with herself and that she's totally happy. But then she leaves it at that. Or she'll talk about being a supermodel with Covergirl... and you expect her to say something like
It wasn't really a story. There are 55 chapters and most of them are pure random. I love silly humor but this didn't meet the mark. She does a chapter on falling asleep and another on meditation (these are supposed to be funny) and I seriously almost fell asleep while driving.
I enjoy her show and her causes, just not this book.
I love it when she talks about her wife. You can tell she really loves her.
I just wish is was better! I had high hopes, I'm always calling Ellen the next Oprah.
"Painfully unfunny."
My wife and I generally loved Ellen DeGeneres's stand-up and looked forward to this to listen to together on a car trip together. After about an hour and a half (a very fair trial, I think), we just looked at each other and agreed
She should have been the perfect choice, and was. Just needed better content.

- Amazing food for reasonnable priceVanessDined on 10/25/2014I went at Sofia Pizzeria with my boyfriend and another couple on October 25th. We had a great night and even close the restaurant! Nice decoration, amazing italian food, a gentle waiter... The prices are reasonnable (maybe except the wine) and the portions generous. Definitively a good address :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quel désastreMontreal19VIPDined on 10/25/2014Je suis allé a ce resto 3-4 fois auparavant et c'est de loin la pire fois. Serveur air bête, il a fallu se lever pour aller chercher le sel dans la cuisine. Un autre client s'est meme levé pour aller chercher poivre et parmesan pour sa table! Wow!

- Good spot, food okOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We reserved on a Saturday a bit late (around 6h30pm) and got a table for 8pm.

Pour cette raison je vais hésiter d'y retourner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bruyant et pas relaxCaroDined on 8/29/2014Je suis aller au Sofia pour un repas en amoureux. La musique était beaucoup trop forte pour discuter. C'était désagréable. La pauvre serveuse avait beaucoup trop de tables à servir et elle n'était pas efficace et oubliait des choses. On n'avait pas le goût prolonger pour le dessert ou un verre supplémentaire.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Highlight of our first time visitTrioDined on 7/25/2014First time in Dix30. We're from Montreal, so it's not a regular drive for us to make. My family of 3 really enjoyed lunch. Ordered a pizza, arancini, steak tartare and a cesar's salad. The food was polished off. Our waitress was very nice. We loved the décor and the choices of colors. We made it a point to visit the bathrooms twice ....just to check out the upstairs again. It's nice to see there was thought in detail when designing this restaurant. would definitely go again...when driving through or in the neighborhood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Worth the PriceLodnokDined on 7/19/2014My wife and I had a fried calamari appetizer, one pizza and one calzone. The total cost with taxes and tip was around 56$. The ingredients they used seems to be of good quality (tomatoes, fresh mozzarella...) but for 56$ I expected a lot more. The pizza dough was completely tasteless. It was like eating cardboard. The staff is nice, the setup is great but the food is definitely not up to par especially for the high prices.
- CharmedDined on 7/18/2014I really enjoyed the pizza here but it's definitely not a kid friendly restaurant. A great date night place for my husband and but next time we will leave the kids at home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pizzaJulieGDined on 7/12/2014We loved the pizza, so I recommend it. Good ingredients treated well. It was a nice evening to eat on the terrasse. Did not get to try the antipasti, as the ovens were not working properly that day... Or the coffee and desserts, as our waitress brought the bill without having been asked. The service was quick, but she barely looked at us and never came to ask how the food was. If they work on service, I think it will become a great place to bring friends.I would recommend this to a friend.

Too bad because the pizza and appetizer was so good!Special Features:

- Pizzeria SofiaFal02Dined on 5/26/2014I would say Pizzeria Sofia is a great restaurant, altough it was not the best experience I had. They didn't have the appetizer I wanted to and they were out of two wines I asked for. The service was disapointed at first but the waitress did well at the end.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hip lookLou63CanadaDined on 5/23/2014In my reservation request I asked to be put far from the foot traffic. We were sitted at exactly where all the servers would go back to the kitchen with the empty plates. The server offered us drinks, I asked if there were a menu of drinks, he said we do cosmos and vodka martinis. (so I ordered a vodka martini then we see special drinks going from the bar that looked intreguing so maybe there are specialities but I would go to the bar and ask. The noise was so intense that we had difficulty to hear the server and each other. I would try the second level next time maybe better for converssation. The service was OK. It is a factory/lofty NY Pizzeria look which is very well done. The food was quite good. I would give it a second try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Pizza digne de la ToscaneBambinetteDined on 5/10/2014Nourriture excellente!! Ça nous a rappelé la Toscane! Par contre, un peu bruyant et service trop expéditif à notre goût...Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/9/2014On our first visit the food was great, but it took a long time to be served. Unfortunately when we went back a week later, the food took even longer! 2 tables beside us turned over twice while we were still waiting. Our waitress was very apologetic, and tried to compensate with coffees and dessert on the house. A very nice touch. I dont know if I'd attemp to eat there again on a weekend however.Special Features:
- Lack of serviceOverRatedDined on 5/9/2014I cannot recall when the service was this bad. It took 30 minutes just to get water, the bread was cold and the pizza was dry. The knifes were huge but cutting nothing. They asked us if everything was good BEFORE we got the food. The place was not crowded but the music was so loud, people outside turned away. The couple beside us left before food arrived, tired of waiting. They brought us the orders from another table... Geez.Special Features:
- Funky atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/4/2014Great for groups as noise level is high. Delicious food all around and the pizzas from the wood oven were divine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Première et dernière visiteSophieDined on 5/2/2014La visite s'est bien déroulée au départ, nous avons eu une table en moins de 10 minutes et avons eu un service professionnel. Le décor est chaleureux et l'ambiance est bonne. Le hic de la soirée est que j'ai commandé les pâtes fruits de mer (au menu avec une sauce crème et vin blanc) et que j'ai reçu des pâtes fruits de mer sauce tomate. En mentionnant ce détail à ma serveuse, j'ai reçu comme réponse que le plat à été changé mais le changement n'a pas été fait au menu ... J'ai mange les fruits de mer qui étaient excellents mais n'ai pas touché aux pâtes du tout puisque je n'aime pas la sauce tomate ... Aucun excuse et aucun rabais sur ma facture, j'ai trouvé ça assez moyen comme service à la clientèle.Special Features:
- 1 1/2 hour to get a pizzaisa21Dined on 5/2/2014very very bad service, the wrost i saw over the last 20 years. food was very good but will never be back to that place.
- Definitely going back!CatalaneDined on 5/2/2014This place was the meeting point for my friends and I. I had never been to Dix30 before. I have to say, I don't understand those who complained…the service was amazing and the food was delicious, and I loved the decor! The prices were decent, everything we ordered, from start to finish, was really tasty and much appreciated by everyone, and our waitress, Valerie (I think …Long, gorgeous black hair...lucky her), was professional, courteous, (funny too!) and just made everything that much better! It was a first, but not a last…we had a great time! We are definitely going to go back there!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

WIPE OUT. The hunter was on the prowl once again. This time he rolls up on Roxi at a local surf shop, ready for a lesson. She was a great looking milf with an incredible set of boobs. Fat camel toe pussy hiding in that wetsuit. So after they hit up the waves and got back to the store, it was on. Roxi wasted no time in stripping down and sucking on some hunter cock. That led to some great fucking for your viewing pleasure. The hunter strikes again. Enjoy.
