1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to a sensor and methods for manufacturing a sensor for placement at a selected site within the body of a patient. More specifically, this invention relates to the positioning of electrodes in an improved flexible thin film sensor of the type used, for example, to obtain periodic blood glucose (BG) readings.
2. Description of Related Art
Thin film electrochemical sensors are generally known in the art for use in a variety of specialized sensor applications. Such thin film sensors generally comprise one or more thin conductors applied by photolithography mask and etch techniques between thin layers of a nonconductive film material, such as polyimide film. The conductors are shaped to define distal segment ends having an appropriate electrode material thereon, in combination with proximal end contact pads adapted for conductive connection with appropriate electronic monitoring equipment. In recent years, thin film sensors of this general type have been proposed for use as a transcutaneous sensor in medical applications. As one example, thin film sensors have been designed for use in obtaining an indication of BG levels and monitoring BG levels in a diabetic patient, with the distal segment portion of the electrodes positioned subcutaneously in direct contact with patient blood. Such readings can be especially useful in adjusting a treatment regimen which typically includes regular administration of insulin to the patient. In this regard, BG readings are particularly useful in conjunction with semiautomated medication infusion pumps of the external type, as generally described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,562,751; 4,678,408; and 4,685,903; or automated implantable medication infusion pumps, as generally described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,573,994.
Relatively small and flexible electrochemical sensors have been developed for subcutaneous placement of sensor electrodes in direct contact with patient blood or other extracellular fluid, wherein such sensors can be used to obtain periodic readings over an extended period of time. In one form, flexible transcutaneous sensors are constructed in accordance with thin film mask techniques wherein an elongated sensor includes thin film conductive elements encased between flexible insulative layers of polyimide sheet or similar material. Such thin film sensors typically include exposed electrodes at a distal segment for transcutaneous placement in direct contact with patient blood or the like, and exposed conductive contacts at an externally located proximal segment end for convenient electrical connection with a suitable monitor device. Such thin film sensors hold significant promise in patient monitoring applications, but unfortunately have been difficult to place transcutaneously with the sensor electrodes in direct contact with patient blood or other extracellular fluid. Improved thin film sensors and related insertion sets are described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,299,571, 5,390,671; 5,391,250; 5,482,473; 5,568,806; and 5,586,553 and International Publication No. WO 2004/036183, which are incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates specifically to an improved sensor adapted to have a thin configuration for quick and easy placement of the film sensor on a patient with sensor electrodes in direct contact with patient blood or other extracellular fluid.
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a sensor, such as a flexible thin film electrochemical sensor, is provided that may be placed at a selected site within the body of the patient. In certain embodiments, the sensor includes several electrodes, configured so that the overall size of the sensor is thinner than traditional sensors. In an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor includes electrodes in electrode layers positioned generally above each other. The electrodes and traces from the electrodes to contact pads, which are adapted to connect to sensor electronics, may be horizontally displaced from each other with other materials layered in between. The electrodes themselves may be in a staggered configuration so that the lower electrodes extend further, allowing portions of the electrodes to be exposed. Each of the electrodes may also be of the same size or different sizes. In the layered configuration, the electrode layers are staggered to expose a part of each electrode to contact the patient fluid.
In further embodiments of the invention, the electrodes may include a working electrode and a counter electrode and may further include a reference electrode. Alternatively, the electrodes may include more or fewer electrodes, depending on the desired use. The electrodes may comprise gold and chrome and/or other adhesive/conductive layers, such as titanium, platinum, tungsten, etc. The working and counter electrodes may be plated with platinum black and the reference electrode may be plated with silver and silver chloride. For glucose sensing, the sensor may include a layer of glucose oxidase, which may be mixed with albumin. Over the glucose oxidase may be a glucose limiting membrane, such as one that includes a polyamine, such as polyoxypropylene-diamine sold under the trademark JEFFAMINE�, and polydimethylsiloxane. There may be a hydrophilic membrane over the glucose limiting membrane.
In an embodiment of the invention, a subcutaneous insertion set is provided for placing the sensor at a selected site within the body of a patient. The insertion set comprises the sensor and further comprises a slotted insertion needle extending through a mounting base adapted for seated mounting onto the patient's skin. The flexible thin film sensor includes a proximal segment carried by the mounting base, and a distal segment protruding from the mounting base and having one or more sensor electrodes thereon. The distal segment of the sensor is carried within a protective cannula which extends from the mounting base with a portion of the cannula being slidably received within the insertion needle. One or more apertures formed in the cannula are positioned in general alignment with the staggered sensor electrodes on the sensor distal segment.
In embodiments of the invention, when the mounting base is pressed onto the patient's skin, the insertion needle pierces the skin to transcutaneously place the cannula with the sensor distal segment therein. The insertion needle can be withdrawn from the mounting base, leaving the cannula and sensor distal segment within the patient, with the sensors electrodes thereon exposed through the aperture or apertures for direct contact with to patient fluid at the selected position within the patient, such as a subcutaneous, intravascular, intramuscular, or intravenous site. Other sites may include intraorgan and interperitoneal sites. Conductive contacts on the sensor proximal segment end can be electrically connected to a suitable monitor device so that appropriate blood chemistry readings can be taken.
In further embodiments of the invention, during insertion, the insertion needle and the protective cannula cooperatively protect and guide the sensor to the desired transcutaneous placement position. The insertion needle can then be withdrawn, whereupon the slotted needle geometry permits the insertion needle to slide over and longitudinally separate from the second portion of the cannula, thereby leaving the cannula and sensor therein at the selected insertion site.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
A detailed description of embodiments of the invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals designate corresponding parts in the figures.
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and which illustrate several embodiments of the present inventions. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and operational changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present inventions.
In embodiments of the present invention, a method is provided for producing electrochemical sensors of the type used, for example, in subcutaneous or transcutaneous monitoring of analytes in a patient. For example, they may be used for monitoring of blood glucose levels in a diabetic patient. The sensors of the invention may also be used for sensing other analytes, such as lactate. While certain embodiments of the invention pertain to glucose sensors, the structure of the sensor disclosed and methods of creating the sensor can be adapted for use with any one of the wide variety of sensors known in the art. A number of enzyme sensors (e.g., glucose sensors that use the enzyme glucose oxidase to effect a reaction of glucose and oxygen) are known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,165,407, 4,890,620, 5,390,671 and 5,391,250, and International Publication No. WO 2004/036183, which are herein incorporated by reference. Sensors for monitoring glucose concentration of diabetics are further described in Schichiri, et al., "In Vivo Characteristics of Needle-Type Glucose Sensor-Measurements of Subcutaneous Glucose Concentrations in Human Volunteers," Horm. Metab. Res., Suppl. Ser. 20:17-20 (1988); Bruckel, et al., "In Vivo Measurement of Subcutaneous Glucose Concentrations with an Enzymatic Glucose Sensor and a Wick Method," Klin. Wochenschr. 67:491-495 (1989); and Pickup, et al., "In Vivo Molecular Sensing in Diabetes Mellitus: An Implantable Glucose Sensor with direct Electron Transfer," Diabetologia 32:213-217 (1989), which are herein incorporated by reference. Other sensors are described, for example, in Reach, et al., ADVANCES IN IMPLANTABLE DEVICES, A. Turner (ed.), JAI Press, London, Chap. 1, (1993), which is herein incorporated by reference.
The electrochemical sensors of embodiments of the invention are film sensors that include several electrodes, configured so that the overall size of the sensor is thinner than traditional sensors. In further embodiments of the present invention, the sensor includes three electrodes that are each positioned generally above the other, although the term "above" is intended to mean generally disposed in a plane vertically on top of each other, not necessarily directly over or disposed on one another. For example, the electrodes may be above and adjacent to another electrode, such as offset horizontally. The sensor of the invention may have only two electrodes or more than three electrodes. In an embodiment with three electrodes, each of the three electrodes may be of the same size or different sizes. In particular embodiments, the electrode layers are staggered to expose at least a portion of each electrode to contact the patient fluid. The three sensor electrodes may all serve different functions. For example, there may be a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a reference electrode. The reference electrode facilitates the filtering out of background chemical reactions that could detract from a correct reading of the BG level. In between layers of the sensor electrodes, a layer of insulation or dielectric material may be spread so that there is no communication between the individual electrodes.
The exposed portions of the electrodes are coated with a thin layer of material having an appropriate chemistry. For example, an enzyme such as glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, or hexokinase can be disposed on the exposed portion of the sensor element within an opening or aperture defined in a cover layer.
The first metallization step, shown in
The second metallization step, shown in
The sensor 12 is thus shown with the subsequent conductive layers 54 a, 54 b, and 54 c alternating with the insulative layers 44 a, 44 b, and 44 c. In between every two conductive layers there is an insulative layer that serves to isolate each conductive layer so that there is no trace communication between the layers. Apertures 19 a, 19 b, and 19 c are formed in the top insulative cover layer 44 c. Although the electrodes 18 a, 18 b, and 18 c are shown as lying on top of each other, it is also possible to have them generally above each other, but spaced sideways so that they are not directly on top of each other (e.g., horizontally displaced). This is also true for the traces that lead to conductive contacts, which electrically connect to the sensor electronics, at the opposite end of the sensor from the electrodes. The apertures can be made through photolithographic development, laser ablation, chemical milling, etching, or the like. The exposed electrodes and/or contact pads can also undergo secondary processing through the apertures, such as additional plating processing, to prepare the surfaces, and/or strengthen the conductive regions.
As shown in
In certain embodiments, the sensor chemistry layer 72 comprises glucose oxidase and a carrier protein. The glucose oxidase and carrier protein may be in a substantially fixed ratio. In further embodiments, the glucose oxidase and the carrier protein are distributed in a substantially uniform manner throughout the disposed enzyme layer. Typically, the carrier protein comprises albumin, generally in an amount of about 2-10% by weight, preferably about 5% by weight. As used herein, "albumin" refers to those albumin proteins typically used by artisans to stabilize polypeptide compositions, such as human serum albumin, bovine serum albumin, and the like. The application of the glucose oxidase and albumin mixture may be made, for example, by a spin coating process, a casting process, a screen printing process or a doctor blading process. Optionally, the glucose oxidase layer that is formed on the sensor is less than 2 microns in thickness. In further embodiments, the glucose oxidase layer may be less than 1, 0.5, 0.25 or 0.1 microns in thickness. The choice of the glucose oxidase layer thickness may be made to balance fast response and fast hydration verses a sensor lifetime. Generally, thin layers hydrate and respond more quickly, but do not last as long. Thick layers last a long time, but hydrate more slowly and respond to glucose more slowly.
The sensor chemistry layer 72 may be coated with one or more cover layers. In certain embodiments, as shown in
In still further embodiments, the JEFFAMINE�, which is glucose permeable, and the PDMS, which is non-glucose permeable but oxygen permeable, are linked together with diisocyanide. By using this random block copolymer, an excess of oxygen by the glucose oxidase and the electrodes can be ensured along with a restricted amount of glucose.
In further embodiments, an adhesion promoter (not shown) is provided between the glucose limiting membrane 74 and the sensor chemistry layer 72 to facilitate contact and/or adhesion. The adhesion promoter layer can be made from any one of a wide variety of materials that facilitates bonding, for example materials comprising a silane compound, such as an aminopropyltriethoxy silane. Alternatively, protein or like molecules in the sensor chemistry layer 72 can be sufficiently crosslinked or otherwise prepared to allow the glucose limiting membrane 74 to be disposed in direct contact with the sensor chemistry layer in absence of an adhesion promoter layer. The adhesion promoter layer can be spin coated, sprayed, cast, etc. onto the enzyme layer. It may be exposed to heat and humidity to create silanol (sticky) groups. In further embodiments, the layer may be repeated. Although not necessary, the coating may help adhesion oxygen buffering. The time for exposure to heat and humidity is time sufficient to create silanol (sticky) groups, for example about two hours.
A hydrophilic membrane 76, which may be non-toxic and biocompatible, may be positioned above the glucose limiting membrane 74. The hydrophilic membrane 76 promotes tolerance of the sensor in the body.
Typically, the electrodes are formed by one of the variety of methods known in the art such as photoresist, etching and rinsing to define the geometry of the active electrodes. The electrodes can then be made electrochemically active, for example by electrodeposition of platinum black for the working and counter electrode, and silver followed by silver chloride on the reference electrode. The sensor chemistry layer is then disposed on the conductive layer by a method other than electrochemical deposition, usually followed by vapor crosslinking, for example with a dialdehyde, such as glutaraldehyde, or a carbodi-imide.
The electrodes and conductive layers are generally composed of conductive materials. However, they are not limited to conductive elements. Other useful sensor elements can be formed from any material that is capable of producing a detectable signal after interacting with a preselected analyte whose presence is to be detected. The detectable signal can be, for example, an optically detectable change, such as a color change or visible accumulation of the desired analyte (e.g., cells). Exemplary such materials include polymers that bind specific types of cells, single-strand DNA, antigens, antibodies and reactive fragments thereof, etc. Sensor elements can also be formed from materials that are essentially non-reactive (i.e., controls). The foregoing alternative sensor elements are beneficially included, for example, in sensors for use in cell-sorting assays and assays for the presence of pathogenic organisms, such as viruses (HIV, hepatitis-C, etc.), bacteria, protozoa, and the like.
As shown in
One or more sensors are formed on a rigid flat substrate, such as a glass plate or a ceramic. When finished, the sensors may be removed from the rigid flat substrate by a suitable method, such as laser cutting. Other materials that can be used for the substrate include, but are not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic materials. As seen in
In one embodiment of a sensor set, shown in
Further description of flexible thin film sensors of this general type may be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,473, which is incorporated by reference herein. The proximal segment 20 may be conveniently connected electrically to the monitor 22 by means of a connector block 24 as shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,473, which is also incorporated by reference herein.
The overall sensor height of the sensor 12 (from base to top insulative layer) may be about 0.001 inches or 25 microns. The base layer is about 12 microns and each insulative layer is about 5 microns. The conductive/electrode layers are each in the range of several thousand angstroms. Any of these layers could be thicker if desired. The overall width of the sensor is as small as about 150 microns. It could be slightly larger, about 250 microns or 0.010 inches. The width could also larger if desired. The length of the sensor is dependant on how deep the tissue is at the placement site. For example, for subcutaneous sensing, the sensor length may be about 0.50 inches to about 1.5 inches, for example, about 1 inch.
The sensor 12 is carried by a mounting base 26 adapted for placement onto the skin of a patient. As shown, the mounting base 26 comprises an enlarged and generally rectangular pad having an underside surface coated with a suitable pressure sensitive adhesive layer, with a peel-off paper strip 28 normally provided to cover and protect the adhesive layer, until the insertion set 10 is ready for use. As shown in
The insertion needle 14 is adapted for slide-fit reception through a needle port 36 formed in the upper base layer 30 and further through the lower slot 34 in the lower base layer 32. As shown in
The cannula 15 is shown in
In use, the insertion set 10 permits quick and easy transcutaneous placement of the sensor distal segment 16 at a selected site within the body of the patient. More specifically, the peel-off strip 28 is removed from the mounting base 26, at which time the mounting base 26 can be pressed onto and seated upon the patient's skin. During this step, the insertion needle 14 pierces the patient's skin and carries the protective cannula 15 with the sensor distal segment 16 therein to the appropriate transcutaneous placement site. During insertion, the cannula 15 provides a stable support and guide structure to carry the flexible sensor to the desired insertion site.
When the sensor 12 is transcutaneously placed, with the mounting base 26 seated upon the patient's skin, the insertion needle 14 can be slidably withdrawn from the patient. The slotted needle geometry permits the insertion needle 14 to slide over and longitudinally separate from the second portion of the cannula 15, thereby leaving the cannula 15 as well as the sensor distal segment 16 with electrodes 18 at the selected insertion site. These electrodes 18 are directly exposed to patient body fluid via the apertures 19. The sensor proximal segment 20 is appropriately coupled to the monitor 22, so that the sensor 12 can then be used over a prolonged period of time for taking blood chemistry readings, such as BG readings in a diabetic patient. In an embodiment, when the insertion needle is withdrawn, a protective sheath (not shown) contained in the mounting base is dislodged and covers the needle tip as the needle is separated from the mounting base. If desired, the cannula 15 can also be used to deliver medication and/or sensor calibration fluid to the vicinity of the electrodes 18, or alternately to withdraw patient fluid such as blood for analysis.
While the description above refers to particular embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. The accompanying claims are intended to cover such modifications as would fall within the true scope and spirit of the present invention.
The presently disclosed embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. All changes that come within the meaning of and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.
The examples set forth below are illustrative of different compositions and conditions that can be used in practicing the invention. All proportions are by weight unless otherwise indicated. It will be apparent, however, that the invention can be practiced with many types of compositions and can have many different uses in accordance with the disclosure above and as pointed out hereinafter.
A KAPTON� polyimide base is used as a base layer and spin coated on a rigid substrate, such as glass. The first metallization comprised sputter-based chrome, gold and top-chrome. The top chrome pattern was photoresisted using photomask to protect the metallized trace and counter electrode. The uncovered areas of the base-chrome and gold were etched. The etching was performed at 50� C. for the gold and at ambient temperature for the chrome. The strip photoresisting was performed in isopropyl alcohol ("IPA") at ambient temperature, and then again on all areas except the counter electrode, bond pad, and plating pad, at ambient temperature. A second etching was then performed on the top-chrome of all uncovered areas at ambient temperature. Strip photoresisting was performed again in IPA at ambient temperature. Polyimide was spin coated on as an insulative layer. Photoimaging was then performed to cure specific areas. The resulting electrode layer was developed and rinsed.
The next electrode layer is formed generally above the counter electrode layer. This second metallization step involves the same sputter base-chrome and gold as a base layer. Photoresisting is performed using photomask to protect the working metallized trace and working electrode being formed. Etch is performed on the uncovered areas at 50� C. for the gold and at ambient temperature for the chrome. Strip photoresisting is again performed in IPA at ambient temperature. Next, photoresisting is performed on all areas except the counter electrode, bond pad, and plating pad. Etching is performed on all uncovered areas of the top-chrome at ambient temperature. Strip photoresisting is performed in IPA at ambient temperature. Polyimide was spin coated on as an insulative layer. Photoimaging was then performed to cure specific areas. The resulting electrode layer was developed and rinsed.
The next electrode layer is formed generally above the counter electrode layer. This third metallization step also involves the sputter base-chrome and gold combination as a base layer. Photoresisting is performed using photomask to protect the working metallized trace and working electrode being formed. Etch is performed on the uncovered areas at 50� C. for the gold and at ambient temperature for the chrome. Strip photoresisting is again performed in IPA at ambient temperature. Next, photoresisting is performed on all areas except the counter electrode, bond pad, and plating pad. Etching is performed on all uncovered areas of the top-chrome at ambient temperature. Strip photoresisting is performed in IPA at ambient temperature. Polyimide was spin coated on as an insulative layer. Photoimaging was then performed to cure specific areas. The resulting electrode layer was developed and rinsed. After all three electrode layers are formed, the layers are subjected to a final bake at a high temperature, such as 325� C.

LONDON (AP) - A producer of the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is suing the comedy troupe over royalties from the hit stage musical "Spamalot."
Producer Mark Forstater wants a bigger share of proceeds from the show, which is based on the 1975 movie spoof of the legend of King Arthur.
Python members Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Terry Jones are to give evidence during a five-day hearing that began Friday at London's High Court.
Forstater is suing the trio and fellow Python members John Cleese and Terry Gilliam.
His lawyer, Tom Weisselberg, said under an agreement made when the film was produced, "for financial purposes Mr. Forstater was to be treated as the seventh Python." But the lawyer said Forstater had not received his fair share of royalties.

The semester is almost done! Isn't it crazy how fast time flies?
With all of the Christmas festivities, getting the house ready for friend and family and of course, those papers and finals your appearance isn't your main concern. We've all been there.
There's a few tricks that can help pick those sagging under-eyes!
First, of course, is eye moisturizers. If you don't have one, get one. When you purchase your newfound friend, put it in the fridge! Apply it in the morning and a night and you'll see the difference!
Under eye concealers (purples work best) will help conceal those dark circles with ease! Just make sure you blend!
One of my favorite tricks involves iced tea bags! Crazy right? When you have five minutes to relax ... say when you're making a cup of coffee ... run the bags under warm water and put one on each eye. Let them sit for about five to ten minutes and your eyes will appear less puffy! Try it! It's very relaxing!

This early part of development lays the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby. Unfortunately, because these early weeks are such a complex process, things can go wrong and end in a pregnancy loss. If a possible complication in early pregnancy is suspected, your doctor will use a combination of blood and ultrasound tests to make a clear diagnosis. A blood test can be used to monitor hCG and progesterone levels. Ultrasounds can be used to see and measure what development is taking place in the uterus.
It is common to have questions about what this early development involves and what is to be expected. However, just as every woman is different, every pregnancy develops differently. This information should be used as a general guide for healthy pregnancy development, although development may vary due to the mother's health or a miscalculation of ovulation. Gestational age is the age of the pregnancy from the last normal menstrual period (LMP), and fetal age is the actual age of the growing baby. Most references to pregnancy are usually in gestational age, but we have included both to keep it clear.
At this stage, the menstrual period has just ended and your body is getting ready for ovulation. For most women, ovulation takes place about 11 - 21 days from the first day of the last menstrual period. During intercourse, several hundred million sperm are released in the vagina. Sperm will travel through the cervix and into the fallopian tubes. When conception takes place, the sperm will penetrate an egg and create a single set of 46 chromosomes called a zygote - the basis for a new human being. The fertilized egg, called a morula, spends a couple of days traveling through the fallopian tube toward the uterus and dividing into cells (this dividing process is where many chromosomal abnormalities occur). The morula becomes a blastocyst and will eventually end up in the uterus. Anywhere from day 6 - 12 after conception, the blastocyst will imbed into the uterine lining and begin the embryonic stage.
The earliest change that can be seen through a vaginal ultrasound. At this time, there will be the "decidual reaction" which is the thickening of the endometrium. The endometrium lining thickens as the blastocyst burrows into it. This cannot always be detected by ultrasound. sometimes it may take very good equipment to see this "reaction" in the endometrium lining.
*A key fact to remember when using ultrasounds is that a transvaginal ultrasound can detect development in the uterus about a week earlier than a transabdominal ultrasound.
hCG: Once implantation occurs, the pregnancy hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) will develop and its levels will begin to rise. This hormone is what tells you that you are pregnant on a pregnancy test. hCG can be detected through two different types of blood tests or through a urine test. A quantitative blood test measures the exact amount of hCG in the blood, and a qualitative hCG blood test gives a simple yes or no answer to whether you are pregnant or not. hCG is also the hormone that causes morning sickness for pregnant women.
Doctors will often use the quantitative test if they are closely monitoring the development of a pregnancy. After implantation occurs, the hormone will begin to rise and should increase every 48-72 hours for the next several weeks.
Progesterone: The follicle from which the egg was released is now called the corpus luteum. It will release progesterone that helps thicken and prepare the uterine lining for implantation. The corpus luteum will produce progesterone for about 12-16 days (during the luteal phase of your cycle.) When the egg is fertilized, the corpus luteum will continue to produce progesterone for the developing pregnancy until the placenta takes over around week 10 (when your corpus leuteum degrades). Progesterone is the hormone that helps maintain the pregnancy until birth. Sometimes, the failure of the corpus luteum to adequately support the pregnancy with progesterone can result in an early pregnancy loss. Progesterone also inhibits immune responses, decreases prostaglandins, and prevents the onset of uterine contractions.
The gestational sac is usually the first thing that most transvaginal ultrasounds can detect at about 5 weeks. This is seen before an embryo can be recognized. Within this week, at about week 5 ½ to the beginning of the 6th week, a yolk sac can be seen inside the gestational sac. The yolk sac will be the earliest source of nutrients for the fetus.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels can have a lot of variance at this point. Anything from 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml is considered normal at 5 weeks. Once the levels have reached 2000, some type of development is expected to be seen in the uterus using high resolution vaginal ultrasound. If using a transabdominal ultrasound, some type of development should be seen when the hCG level has reached 3600 mIU/ml. Although development may be seen earlier, these levels provide a guide of when something is expected.
Progesterone levels also can also vary a lot at this stage of pregnancy. They can range from 9-47ng/ml in the first trimester, with an average of 12-20ng/ml in the first 5-6 weeks of pregnancy.
With both hCG levels and progesterone levels, it is not the single value that can predict a healthy pregnancy outcome. It is more important to see if the numbers are increasing. Levels of hCG should be increasing by at least 60 % every 2-3 days, but ideally doubling every 48-72 hours. Progesterone levels rise much differently than hCG levels, with an average of 1-3ng/ml every couple days until they reach their peak for that trimester. In situations when there is a concern of an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, hCG levels will often start out normal, but will not show a significant increase or will stop rising, and progesterone levels will be low from the beginning.
5 ½ to 6 ½ weeks is usually a very good time to detect either a fetal pole or even a fetal heart beat by vaginal ultrasound. The fetal pole is the first visible sign of a developing embryo. This pole structure usually has some curve to it with the embryo's head at one end and what looks like a tail at the other end. The fetal pole now allows for crown to rump measurements (CRL) to be taken, to improve the accuracy of pregnancy dating. The fetal pole may be seen at a crown-rump length (CRL) of 2-4mm, and the heartbeat may be seen as a regular flutter when the CRL has reached 5mm.
If a vaginal ultrasound is done and no fetal pole or cardiac activity is seen, another ultrasound scan should be done in 3-7 days. Due to the fact that pregnancy dating can be wrong, it would be much too early at this point to make a clear diagnosis on the outcome of the pregnancy.
Generally from 6 ½ -7 weeks is the time when a heartbeat can be easily detected and viability can be measured. A normal heartbeat at 6-7 weeks would be 90-110 beats per minute. The presence of an embryonic heartbeat is a good sign of the health of the pregnancy. Once a heartbeat is detected, the chance of the pregnancy continuing ranges from 70-90% depending on what type of ultrasound is used. If the embryo is less than 5mm CRL, it is possible for it to be healthy without showing a heartbeat, though a follow up scan in 5-7 days should show cardiac activity.
If your doctor is concerned about miscarriage, blighted ovum, or ectopic pregnancy, the gestational sac and fetal pole (if visible) will be measured to determine what type of development should be seen. The guideline is that if the gestational sac measures >16-18mm with no fetal pole or the fetal pole measures 5mm with no heartbeat (by vaginal ultrasound), then a diagnosis of miscarriage or blighted ovum is made. If the fetal pole is too small to take an accurate measurement, then a repeat scan should be done in 3-5 days. If there is absence of a fetal pole, then further testing should be done to rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.
By this point in the pregnancy, everything that is present in an adult human is present in the developing embryo. The embryo has reached the end of the embryonic stage and now enters the fetal stage. A strong fetal heartbeat should be detectable by ultrasound, that should beat at around 140-170 bpm by the 9th week. If a strong heartbeat is not detected at this point, another ultrasound scan may be done to verify the viability of the fetus. If a pregnancy has been diagnosed as non-viable, most physicians will give the choice of waiting to see if the body will miscarry naturally (pending no other health issues) or to have a Dilation & Curettage (D&C) procedure. About 50% of women do not undergo a D&C procedure when an early pregnancy loss has occurred.
The hCG levels will peak at about 8-12 weeks of pregnancy and then will decline, remaining at lower levels throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. If the levels are questionable, an ultrasound scan should be used to diagnose the pregnancy outcome. Ultrasound findings are much more accurate at diagnosing pregnancy viability after 5-6 weeks gestation than hCG levels are.
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :
• 1-28 ng/ml Mid Luteal Phase (Average is over 10 for un-medicated cycles and over 15 with medication use)
• 9-47 ng/ml First trimester
• 17-146 ng/ml Second Trimester
• 49-300 ng/ml Third Trimester
**Remember - These numbers are just a GUIDELINE -- every woman's hormone level can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level. Make sure to check with a doctor to better monitor the progress of your pregnancy.

NEW YORK — Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III went first and second overall in the 2012 NFL draft Thursday night— as expected. Then came the unexpected: a frenzy of trades that moved three teams up to make the next four selections in an entertaining first round.
In all, the round included 10 trades — the most since 2002, when 11 trades were made in the opening round.
An hour before the draft began, the Cleveland Browns pulled off a trade with the Minnesota Vikings to move up one spot from No. 4 and take Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
The Vikings, who originally held the third pick, took USC tackle Matt Kalil, giving second-year quarterback Christian Ponder the blind-side protector he needed. Then came two more trades, as the Jacksonville Jaguars moved up from seventh to fifth to take Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon, and the Dallas Cowboys sent their first- and second-round picks to the St. Louis Rams to draft LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne sixth overall.
Free Shipping on Orders $75 or More with coupon code: 75FreeShip at Fanatics.com
Those six players had long been considered the elite talents in the draft, but after Luck and Griffin, the order in which they would come off the board was anyone's guess.
In recent years, running backs have rarely heard their names called early in the draft; last year only Mark Ingram (28th overall to the Saints) was taken in the first round. But Richardson, who last fall rushed for 1,679 yards and 21 touchdowns as the Crimson Tide's workhorse back, frequently was predicted to be the exception this year.
Many analysts said he would be the first back taken in the top 10 since Darren McFadden went fourth overall to Oakland in 2008. But few — if any — expected him to go third overall. In the last decade, only two running backs — Reggie Bush at No. 2 overall in 2006 to the New Orleans Saints, and Ronnie Brown, also second overall, to the Miami Dolphins in 2005 — have been selected higher.
Counting the Redskins-Rams trade that saw Washington move from sixth to second overall, there were four trades among the first six selections — a rarity for the NFL, which in the last seven years witnessed only one such deal.
Some semblance of order was restored when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took Alabama safety Mark Barron with the seventh pick and the Dolphins selected Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill with the eighth.
Four picks later, the Philadelphia Eagles moved up three spots — sending their 15th overall selection, as well as a fourth- and sixth-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks — to take Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. Later in the round, the New England Patriots traded up twice to take defensive end Chandler Jones out of Syracuse (21st) and Alabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower (25th).
Baltimore sent the 29th pick to Minnesota for the Vikings' second- and fourth-rounders. Minnesota used that pick to take Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith. Denver later sent its 31st pick to Tampa Bay.
Thursday's draft marked the 31st time, and the 10th time in the last 12 years, that a quarterback has been selected first overall.

Comment Interconnectivity is both opportunity and danger. (Score 3, Interesting) 92
The news of the earlier hack got me thinking about the unique risk/reward of ubiquitous communication and the challenge of computer security to keep pace. Certainly some say the pace of technological innovation is no longer in step with yesterday's, but that almost begs the question. It's truly ironic that modern computing becomes physically smaller as its footprint on our lives looms ever larger with each new year, yet no one disputes that, lately, electronic progress rests solely within the social stratum these days.
We should ask ourselves, however, the rather basic question of whether this seismic shift in the nature of the changes in technology brings with it an impedimentary effect on our lives, or indeed to wonder to the degree technology has ever been pedimentary when it comes right down to it. Yes, it's certainly got its foot in the door, but as with feet and doors it's not always possible to know at the moment of impact whether said foot represents opportunity, doom, or a casualty of a society overeager to shut the door to change.
Certainly the last thing anyone wants is a race to the bottom. Ah, but that's not entirely accurate when one considers the vested interest shoemakers have in most modern day footraces. It suggests that, moving forward, the most important thing to do when evaluating new technology in 2013 may very well be to first identify the shoemakers for that technology. Ask yourself: if I'm already wearing five pairs of socks, do I even need shoes at this point? Odds are, you don't.

Then you want everything in the same encrypted network and the lion's share of the usage of that network to be legitimate. Although BitTorrent over TOR is currently abusive of the TOR network, it would be better to find a means of making BitTorrent tolerable to TOR (or vice-versa) than to create a separate encrypted filesharing network.
When this all gets tested in a courtroom, it is far better for an encrypted network to appear to be protecting privacy than to enable lawbreaking. The difference between the two is just how closely the type of data over the encrypted network matches the type of data sent over the unencrypted Internet. Better to encourage the use of TOR to everybody than to have one encrypted network for privacy advocates and another made 99% of pirates -- the latter service lowers the bar for legal decisions and laws to be made that can then ruin all encrypted networks in general.

Swingmania wins 'best band' award for second yearWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For another year, Jeff McDonald can continue calling Swingmania the "busiest and best big band in the region."
For the second year, Swingmania won "Best Band" in the "The Battle of the Bands X Swing Dance" competition held March 1 at the Masonic Temple Crystal Ballroom in Detroit — something that will stick with them until they have to defend their title this time next year.
"We all worked so hard to pull off this victory," McDonald said in an email. "I'm so proud of our group of excellent players and singers."
Swingmania won based on an applause meter as well as judges. They won against a big band from Detroit.
McDonald will keep the trophy he's had for a year. It will be engraved again to reflect their latest victory.
Despite his busy schedule, McDonald is also involved in a project that matters a lot to him — restoring the original Gene Krupa library, which was destroyed in a Yonkers, N.Y., house fire in 1973. Because there aren't any original pieces by Krupa anywhere, McDonald is spending time and money to get them rewritten. Presently, 40 pieces have been rewritten and represented to the public.
During the competition last weekend, Swingmania played some.
"This man was one of the true jazz legends of all time," McDonald said. "He really became an influence on my playing."
The Toledo band, comprised of 34 members, was formed in 2000 with McDonald's partner Mike Overholt. Since the beginning, he had aspirations of being the best.
The band frequents local spots like SouthBriar Restaurant in Sylvania and Dégagé Jazz Café in Maumee. Nowadays, the group can be seen every Tuesday at Trotters Tavern, 5131 Heatherdowns Blvd, a place McDonald said feels like home.
Coming up, Swingmania will be at One2 Lounge at TREO, 5703 Main St. in Sylvania on March 8, Ye Olde Durty Bird, 2 S St Clair St., on March 21 and a fundraiser for Alzheimer's at The Pinnacle, 1772 Indian Wood Circle in Maumeeon March 28.
In January, McDonald told Toledo Free Press the busy schedule is what's rewarding.
"The music itself, that means a lot. That defines the band," McDonald said. "I have access to some of the finest arrangers in the area [as well as] L.A., Chicago, New York, and I've collected these things … when you play this music, it's the passion. You have to really love it. A lot of our guys do just that."

The Walking Dead
Michonne Meets The Governor's Daughter, Penny! The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 8, "Made to Suffer" Sneak Peek
Oh, this isn't going to end well for Penny.
On the episode of Talking Dead that aired after The Walking Dead Season 3, Episode 7, "When the Dead Come Knocking," they aired a sneak peek of the December 2 midseason finale, Episode 8, "Made to Suffer."
AMC already posted a sneak peek of Andrea getting cozy with The Governor, but the new video showed Michonne finding Penny in The Gov's closet. The Governor's daughter was shown chained up, with a bag over her head. Michonne actually showed a gentle side, apparently not knowing at first that Penny was a walker. The sneak peek ended with Michonne about to take the bag off Penny's head.
Do you think Michonne will kill Penny? She's not exactly squeamish about killing people — dead or alive — and she hates walkers. But a little girl? She may give the Sophia pause. If she does kill Penny, The Governor will probably go out of his way to seek a cruel revenge. If The Governor lives through the Woodbury vs. Prison group clash. Team Prison!

Siri: The Holiday Horror Movie
Rooster Teeth Productions has put together a short tongue-in-cheek video trailer based upon the theory that Siri has become self aware and decides it no longer wants to be your personal assistant. Instead it turns against the human race and decides to go on a killing spree avenging all those lame things you asked it to do in the past.
The video is called *Siri: The Holiday Horror Movie" and is based on a group of friends who all receive an iPhone 4S for Christmas. The joy is short lived as one by one Siri oversees their timely demise. It is a very well put together trailer; but beware it does include a little blood!

Vented Bee Suits
Our new Vented Bee Suit makes working bees on a hot summer day a breeze. A layer of rubberized waffled material is sandwiched between 2 layers of finely woven netting. The thickness created by these three layers makes it highly unlikely a sting will reach your skin because the stinger isn't long enough. The open netting on both the suit and veil let the breeze flow through so you can be more comfortable even on the hottest of days. These suits are cut generously just like our Honey Maker® Bee Suits so you won't have pulling and binding. The waist is elastic for a more comfortable fit and there are two chest pockets, two side pant pockets, one back pocket, a hive tool pocket and reinforced fabric on the sides of the legs. There are heavy duty nylon, two way zippers at the neck and chest for easy on and off, and a self supporting collapsible veil. They also have elastic at the wrist with an elastic thumb hold and a large leg opening that secures with a Velcro closure.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Greetings S.I was also raised on the UPC doctrine, thus understand all the 'hell fire preaching' that you speak of.It nearly sickens me now to think of how many good people are being held in fear by the power of a denominational sword to the throat - called 'hell fire'.'Father' graciously opened my doctrinal box in 2000, and I actually think He had to tip it over.It is only now that I realize that it was God who opened my eyes.I began to question and examine - every doctrine that I had been taught.WOW, and to now realize that nearly every single one has major error
at least that is my opinion.I no longer accept that :Jesus Christ is 'Father God'
or that he is 'God' at all
that physical 'water baptism' is necessary at all
in the so-called 'rapture'
in the 'left behind' series
that man has 'free will' so that he must decide to save himself
a future coming of 'the Antichrist' as a lone evil man, who is yet to arrive on the scene
those who die in a 'lost' state, go to an eternal hell and they have no hope beyond the grave.I could easily double the above dogmas.My life was utterly transformed, perhaps the biggest was - how I viewed the 'lost'. I no longer felt the need to swing around my sword of judgment against them.It was a huge relief when I could let the 'Savior of the world' just be the 'Savior' and let him do his job.In 2000 when my eyes where opened to UR, I went back to my fellowships that I attended, expecting them to see this truth
but wow, I literally had some saints yelling at me after the church meeting, that I was crazy and out of my mind. I made a UR tract and canvassed my neighborhood putting one on nearly every house within a half mile
but, with not a word of response.Each of us has a different path to walk.I now have found that I get better results by just carefully sharing my hope. Sometimes baby steps are better than big ones
. especially if one is not prepared for the outcome.
Hell hath no fury at all no more

'Whale Rider' Star, Others Join Syfy's 'Rewind' Pilot
Filming is set to begin later this month for the time-traveling series
Syfy's time-traveling pilot "Rewind" is getting a little star power now that Keisha Castle-Hughes has signed on.
Castle-Hughes, probably best known as the 12-year-old star of the 2002 film "Whale Rider," will play Priya, an historian on a military team that travels back in time to change past events in an effort to avoid a future terrorist attack.
Cast with Castle-Hughes are Jennifer Ferrin, Robbie Jones and Keon Mohajeri. Ferrin, who played Dana Faraday in NBC's short-lived "The Cape," will take on the rule of young genius scientist Bryce. Jones, of "One Tree Hill" and the short-lived "Hellcats," will play Danny, a friend of main character Henry Knox (played by Shane McRae), and the one person who Knox trusts the most.
Mohajeri, who last year was named one of Canada's rising stars, will play mathematician Charlie, a man who created a device that could reduce all of history down to mathematical equations.
Castle-Hughes had a small role in "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" as the Queen of Naboo, and also appeared in an episode of "Legend of the Seeker" as the creator. She most recently appeared in the New Zealand drama "The Almighty Johnsons," and is set to appear in the New Zealand western "The Stolen."
Ferrin's genre credits include a handful of episodes as Ruth Tyler in ABC's short-lived drama "Life on Mars." She also appeared in a 2009 episode of "Fringe" and most recently appeared in the Fox broken pilot "Over/Under."
Jones got his acting start in 2008 in "One Tree Hill," but has made appearances in "ER," "Southland" and "Dark Blue."
Mohajeri has appeared in a number of Canadian productions, including "Flashpoint" and the miniseries "Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures."
McRae, who appeared in the hit film "The Help" last year, also had appearances in CBS' "Medium" as well as NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
Syfy has not announced when it will make a decision on picking "Rewind" up for a series, but that decision will have to wait until at least the pilot is screened, so likely in the summer.

MAC Pink Pigeon is a little pinker, not as neon. MAC Show Orchid is darker and pinker. MAC Quick Sizzle is much pinker. NARS Schiap is pinker.

Alright Mocs fans, it is that time of year again. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs Club and Chattanooga Coca-Cola are once again presenting The Scrappys, brought to you by Brenda Lawson & Associates, on Thursday, April 11.
Time to break out your best ensemble and get ready to follow the bright lights of the Scenic City to the most anticipated event of the year. Last year's inaugural Scrappys blew away the attendees and surpassed all expectations. This year's awards dinner is expected to be even bigger and better.
The Chattanoogan Hotel is the host of the A-list event that includes UTC student-athletes and coaches. The Scrappys has become a must-attend annual gathering to honor the accomplishments of UTC athletics programs - academically, athletically and socially.
The primary focus of The Scrappys is the 2012-13 senior class from all 17 men's and women's programs at UTC. However, there are a number of awards up for grabs. The Mocs' comprehensive excellence, in and out of competition, ensures an exciting evening of anticipation for the coveted feathered trophies.
The Scrappys include awards for:
Play of the Year
Individual Performance of the Year
Victory of the Year
Rookie of the Year
Best Comeback
Scholar-Athlete of the Year
Team of the Year
Male Student-Athlete of the Year
Female Student-Athlete of the Year
The Scrappys are not limited to awarding just student-athletes. There are several categories for those who have a great impact on the Mocs mission to prepare students for productive and meaningful lives.
These include:
Coach of the Year
Professor of the Year
Fan of the Year
Behind the Scenes Award
Student Fan of the Year
The Scrappys is the hottest ticket in town so get yours today. Space is limited and the cost is $50 per person which includes dinner at the banquet.
Make reservations by calling Ryan Lowe with the UTC Mocs Club at (423) 425-5866 or emailing email@example.com. You can also purchase tickets online at the link at the top of the page. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., with dinner served at 7:30 p.m.
There is a private VIP reception with the Mocs coaches at 6:30 p.m. For more information on admission to the reception, or to inquire about any sponsorship opportunities, contact Ryan Lowe with the UTC Mocs Club ((423) 425-5866 – email@example.com).
