Fantastic sequel to the XBLA classic 0
Geometry Wars Retro Evolved was one of the very first games to be launched on XBLA when the Xbox 360 first launched. Since then it became classic on the system for its addictive gameplay and challenging nature. From here Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 serves up more on the plate without ruining the classic formular.For those who haven't played Geo Wars the game is a top down - twin stick shooter, you move with one analogue stick and shoot with the other.

Average online FPS 2
Back in the day Shadowrun used to be a side scrolling RPG on the SNES. Today (crushing many fans dreams) FASA studios has turned the concept of magic returning to the world into a Online only FPS. This is at first a great idea, promoting XBL and getting more people into online gaming. The downside is that it leaves the game with absolutely no depth or substance. The gameplay in Shadowrun is surprisingly outstanding. You start each game with a certain amount of money which you can use to buy mag...

From the creators of Ico comes Shadow Of The Colossus an action / adventure game that really lives up to the genre.

Must have for open world/sandbox fans. 0
Crackdown is just one of those games where you just cannot wait for the sequel. Now that the basic foundations are set we just need to wait for Realtime Worlds to pick-up Crackdown where they left off and create a fantastic sequel. My reason for saying this is because the long awaited Crackdown does everything right and everything wrong. In Crackdown you are a super agent working for the mysterious Agency ordered to clear up crime for the streets of Pacific City. In order to wipe the streets cl...

The best game on Wii. 1
Resident Evil 4 Wii edition is the definitive version of Resident Evil 4. The original game came out on the Game Cube in early 2005. Back then the game was an instant classic gaining a huge reputation. The game was released again later that year on the PS2 with some extra missions bundled in. Again the game gained huge critical acclaim. Earlier this year the PC version was released with more extra missions and now we hit the Wii edition. The Wii edition is essentially all of these games bundled ...

An immersive RPG experience. 0
In 2002 Bethesda softworks released The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It was a huge imersive RPG experience that unfortunately had some problems that prevented it from worldwide recognition. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblvion fixes all of these problems and could well be named one of the best RPG's of all time. So not to spoil the main story of the game, this will be brief. The game takes place in a land called Tamriel and in the province of Cyridiil. Accross Cyrodiil Oblivion gates have been poppin...

Ok to start Gears Of War is an amazing game. If your not easily offended and don't have it already go out and buy it because you will not be disappointed. For those who don't know Gears Of War is a third person shooter from Epic; who are best known for FPS's like Unreal Tournament. The game is set on another planet where humans have colonised and a load of aliens called the Locusts have invaded. The game takes place years after emergence day which is when the Locusts first invaded. The story is...

Title: | A pre-feasibility study to assess the potential of open loop ground source Heat to heat and cool the proposed Earth Science Systems Building at the University of British Columbia |

Abstract: | The predicted end of the oil era, along with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and pollution, and the resultant climate change have led to wider global acceptance of the urgent need for alternative renewable energy sources. Ground source heat presents such a viable alternative, having been hydrogeologically and economically refined through much research, design and development in the European Union and elsewhere over the past 20 years. This study investigated the hydrogeologic potential of using an open-loop ground source heat system to heat and cool the proposed Earth Systems Science Building (ESSB) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus. This was done by inserting existing data from previous hydrogeologic investigations at UBC into water and heat yield equations to finally identify a range of the total number of wells required to meet the heating and cooling demands of the ESSB. We found a best case scenario of 2 wells, a mean case of 5 and a worst case of 15 wells. The economic feasibility was assessed by comparing the capital and running costs for open-loop systems of the various well number scenarios to those for a steam-run heating system, i.e. the conventional method at UBC. We found the three well scenarios to have payback times of 5, 6 and 8 years respectively, after which they would offer a minimum annual cost savings of $50,500. Though a ground source heat system was found to be economically feasible, from a hydrogeologic point of view, installing more than one or maximum two wells is not realistic as it takes up a fairly large proportion of UBC's groundwater resources and the drawdown cone has a large land footprint. Hence using ground source heat and combination technologies is a better approach. Much further work would be needed before any such system could be implemented. A detailed hydrogeologic site investigation including the effects of pumping on the future utilization of groundwater resources at UBC, combined with finalized building specifications would be required in the next step of the assessment process. Furthermore, it was found that current British Columbia groundwater legislation is lacking in water withdrawal specifications, as are the Canadian ground source heat industry's level of information centralization and standardization of technique and design. Through its institutional development policies and practices, UBC has firmly demonstrated its commitment to sustainability in response to the threat of climate change. As a leading global academic institution, UBC has the potential to take its visionary development one step further by installing this new technology that makes much sense in the context of climate change and Canada's commitment to the Kyoto protocol.[Disclaimer: "UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

ABSTRACT: This phase 3b randomized, open-label study evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of coadministration of a hepatitis A and/or B vaccine with a quadrivalent oligosaccharide meningococcal CRM197 -conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-CRM), in the context of an accelerated hepatitis A and/or B immunization schedule. A total of 252 healthy adult subjects were randomized to three groups to receive hepatitis A/B only (HepA/B), hepatitis A/B coadministered with MenACWY-CRM (HepA/B+MenACWY-CRM), or MenACWY-CRM only (MenACWY-CRM). Hepatitis A and/or B vaccination was administered in the form of a single booster dose or a primary three-dose series, depending on the hepatitis A and/or B vaccination history of subjects. Antibody responses to hepatitis A/B vaccination were assessed 1 month following the last hepatitis A and/or B dose. Serum bactericidal activity with human complement (hSBA) against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y was assessed 1 month post-MenACWY-CRM vaccination. Safety was monitored throughout the study. At 1 month following the final hepatitis A and/or B vaccination, concomitant administration of hepatitis A/B and MenACWY-CRM was non-inferior to administration of hepatitis A/B alone in terms of geometric mean concentrations of antibodies against the hepatitis A and B antigens. One month post-MenACWY-CRM vaccination, the percentages of subjects achieving hSBA titers ≥8 for serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y in the HepA/B+MenACWY-CRM group (76, 87, 99, and 94%, respectively) were comparable to those in the MenACWY-CRM group (67, 82, 96, and 88%, respectively). The percentages of subjects reporting adverse events (AEs) were similar across study groups and a majority of the reported AEs were mild to moderate in nature. There were no study vaccine-related serious AEs. MenACWY-CRM can be administered concomitantly with a hepatitis A and/or B vaccine in the context of an accelerated hepatitis A and/or B immunization schedule without increasing safety concerns or compromising the immune responses to any of the vaccine antigens.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to describe clinical and virological outcomes in therapy-naive HIV-1-positive patients treated in a routine ART programme in rural Cameroon. In a prospective cohort, 300 consecutive patients starting first-line ART were enrolled and followed for 12 months. Among 238 patients with available viral load data at Month 12, logistic regression was used to analyse risk factors for virological failure (≥1000 HIV RNA copies/mL) including clinical, immunological and virological parameters, as well as data on drug adherence. Population sequencing was performed to detect the presence of drug-resistance mutations in patients with virological failure at Month 12; minority drug-resistance mutations at baseline were analysed using next-generation sequencing in these patients and matched controls. At Month 12, 38/238 (16%) patients experienced virological failure (≥1000 HIV RNA copies/mL). Patients with virological failure were younger, had lower CD4 cell counts and were more often WHO stage 3 or 4 at baseline. Sixty-three percent of patients with virological failure developed at least one drug-resistance mutation. The M184V (n = 18) and K103N (n = 10) mutations were most common. At baseline, 6/30 patients (20%) experiencing virological failure and 6/35 (17%) matched controls had evidence of minority drug-resistance mutations using next-generation sequencing (P = 0.77). Lower CD4 count at baseline (OR per 100 cells/mm(3) lower 1.41, 95% CI 1.02-1.96, P = 0.04) and poorer adherence (OR per 1% lower 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.08, P < 0.001) were associated with a higher risk of virological failure. Unavailability of ART at the treatment centre was the single most common cause for incomplete adherence. Virological failure after 1 year of ART was not associated with minority drug resistance at baseline but with incomplete adherence. Strategies to assure adherence and uninterrupted drug supplies are pivotal factors for therapy success. © The Author 2014.

ABSTRACT: Background Compact and short pre-travel immunization schedules, which include several vaccinations in a single visit, are desirable for many travelers. However, concomitant vaccination could potentially compromise immunogenicity and/or safety of the individual vaccines and, therefore, possible vaccine interferences should be carefully assessed. This article discusses the immunogenicity and safety of travel vaccines for typhoid fever (TF) and yellow fever (YF), when administered with or without a quadrivalent meningococcal glycoconjugate ACWY-CRM vaccine (MenACWY-CRM).Methods Healthy adults (18–≤60 years) were randomized to one of three vaccine regimens: TF + YF + MenACWY-CRM (group I; n = 100), TF + YF (group II; n = 101), or MenACWY-CRM (group III; n = 100). Immunogenicity at baseline and 4 weeks post-vaccination (day 29) was assessed by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), or a neutralization test. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) were collected throughout the study period.ResultsNon-inferiority of post-vaccination geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and geometric mean titers (GMTs) was established for TF and YF vaccines, respectively, when given concomitantly with MenACWY-CRM vaccine versus when given alone. The percentages of subjects with seroprotective neutralizing titers against YF on day 29 were similar in groups I and II. The antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y were within the same range when MenACWY-CRM was given separately or together with TF and YF vaccines. The percentage of subjects reporting AEs was the same for TF and YF vaccines with or without MenACWY-CRM vaccine. There were no reports of SAEs or AEs leading to study withdrawals.Conclusions These data provide evidence that MenACWY-CRM can be administered with typhoid Vi polysaccharide vaccine and live attenuated YF vaccine without compromising antibody responses stimulated by the individual vaccines.

ABSTRACT: Background Potential interactions between vaccines may compromise the immunogenicity and/or safety of individual vaccines so must be assessed before concomitant administration is recommended. In this study, the immunogenicity and safety of travel vaccines against Japanese encephalitis (JEV) and rabies (PCECV) administered together with or without a quadrivalent meningococcal glycoconjugate ACWY-CRM vaccine were evaluated (NCT01466387). Method Healthy adults aged 18 to ≤60 years were randomized to one of four vaccine regimens: JEV+PCECV+MenACWY-CRM, JEV+PCECV, PCECV or MenACWY-CRM. Immunogenicity at baseline and 28 days post-complete vaccination was assessed by serum bactericidal assay using human complement or neutralization tests. Adverse events (AEs) were collected throughout the study period. Results JEV+PCECV+MenACWY-CRM was non-inferior to JEV+PCECV. Post-vaccination seroprotective neutralizing titers or concentrations were achieved in 98–99% (JE) and 100% (rabies) of subjects across the vaccine groups. Antibody responses to vaccine meningococcal serogroups were in the same range for MenACWY-CRM and JEV+PCECV+MenACWY-CRM. Rates of reporting of AEs were similar for JEV+PCECV and JEV+PCECV+MenACWY-CRM. Conclusions MenACWY-CRM was administered with an inactivated adjuvanted JE and a purified chick embryo cell-culture rabies vaccine without compromising immunogenicity or safety of the individual vaccines. These data provide evidence that MenACWY-CRM could be effectively incorporated into travel vaccination programs.Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease 09/2014; · 1.54 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BackgroundWhile several anti-malarials are known to affect the electric conduction system of the heart, less is known on the direct effects of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Some earlier studies point to a direct impact of Plasmodium falciparum infection on the electric conduction system of the heart. The aim of this study was to analyse infection- and drug-induced effects on the electric conduction system.MethodsChildren aged 12 months to 108 months with severe malaria were included in Kumasi, Ghana. In addition to basic demographic, clinical, biochemical and parasitological, biochemical data were measured data upon hospitalization (day 0) and 12-lead electrocardiograms were recorded before (day 0) and after (day 1) initiation of quinine therapy as well as after 42 (±3) days.ResultsA total of 180 children were included. Most children were tachycardic on day 0 but heart rate declined on day 1 and during follow up. The corrected QT intervals were longest on day 1 and shortest on day 0. Comparison of QT intervals with day 42 (healthy status) after stratification for age demonstrated that in the youngest (<24 months) this was mainly due to a QT shortage on day 0 while a QT prolongation on day 1 was most pronounced in the oldest (≥48 months). Nearly one third of the participating children had measurable 4-aminoquinoline levels upon admission, but no direct effect on the corrected QT intervals could be shown.ConclusionSevere P. falciparum infection itself can provoke changes in the electrophysiology of the heart, independent of anti-malarial therapy. Especially in young - thus non immune - children the effect of acute disease associated pre-treatment QT-shortage is more pronounced than quinine associated QT-prolongation after therapy. Nevertheless, neither malaria nor anti-malarial induced effects on the electrophysiology of the heart were associated with clinically relevant arrhythmias in the present study population.Malaria Journal 06/2014; 13(1):219. · 3.49 Impact FactorThis article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format -

ABSTRACT: Data on the HIV-prevalence children presenting to health care facilities in sub-Saharan Africa are scant in general, and the debate about opportunities for pediatric HIV screening is ongoing. Nine hundred and eighty-one children with unknown HIV-status presenting to a large general pediatric outpatient department in rural Cameroon were tested using the Determine HIV-1/2 rapid test (Abbott), and positive results were confirmed with the Hexagon HIV rapid test (Human Diagnostics). In children younger than 18 month, HIV infection was confirmed by PCR testing. Median age was 1.3 years and 52.8% were of male gender. In 514 children below 18 months of age, 16 (3.1%) tested positive. Of those, HIV-1 PCR was available for 11 children, of whom 6 had a positive PCR result. HIV-prevalence was highest in the age group 5-9 years, being 8.8%. Malnutrition (33.3 vs 5.2%, p < 0.001) was associated with HIV infection. Our study results indicate that HIV-testing should be offered to all children at possible entry points to medical care, irrespective of symptoms, in order to reduce HIV-associated mortality through timely initiation of ART.International Journal of STD & AIDS 01/2014; · 1.04 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. Parenteral artesunate is recommended as first-line therapy for severe malaria. While its efficacy is firmly established, data on safety are still incomplete. Delayed hemolysis has been described in hyperparasitemic non-immune travelers but it is unknown if African children are equally at risk.Methods. Children aged six to 120 months with severe malaria were followed up after treatment with parenteral artesunate in Lambaréné, Gabon, and Kumasi, Ghana. The primary outcome was incidence of delayed hemolysis on Day 14.Results. 72 children contributed complete data sets necessary for primary outcome assessment. Delayed hemolysis was detected in 5 children (7%), with one child reaching a nadir in hemoglobin of 2.8 g/dl. Patients with delayed hemolysis had higher parasite counts on admission (geometric mean parasite densities (GMPD) 306,968/µl vs. 92,642/µl, p=0.028) and were younger (median age: 24 months vs. 43 months, p=0.046) than the rest of the cohort. No correlation with sickle cell trait or glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency was observed.Conclusions. Delayed hemolysis is a frequent and relevant complication in hyperparasitemic African children treated with parenteral artesunate for severe malaria. Physicians should be aware of this complication and consider prolonged follow-up.Trial registration.

ABSTRACT: A patch vaccine containing heat-labile toxin (LT) from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) has demonstrated to be beneficial in reducing the rate and severity of travelers' diarrhea in Latin America. To evaluate the efficacy of this transdermal vaccine system in an area with a different diarrheal pathogen profile, an additional phase 2 study was conducted in European travelers to India. For this multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled field study 723 subjects were recruited; 603 (299 LT vaccine, 304 placebo) were included in the per-protocol-population (PPP). Although the LT patch induced a measurable LT immune response in recipients, it failed to protect against LT ETEC or all-cause diarrhea. In the PPP the incidence rate of diarrhea as per primary endpoint was 6.0% (18 of 299) in the vaccine group and 5.9% (18 of 304) in the placebo group. Additionally, lower than expected rates of LT ETEC diarrheas were observed in India. The vaccine delivery system frequently produced rash and pruritus at the site of application, long term hyperpigmentation persisted in a minority of LT recipients, and also few site reactions were noted in the placebo group. The evaluated patch vaccine failed to satisfy mainly with respect to protective efficacy. Noninvasive prophylactic agents against travelers' diarrhea, particularly vaccines against the most frequent pathogens, thus continue to be badly needed.Journal of Travel Medicine 11/2013; 20(6):374-9. · 1.68 Impact Factor -
Article: High levels of PAH-metabolites in urine of e-waste recycling workers from Agbogbloshie, Ghana.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The informal recycling of electronic waste (e-waste) is an emerging source of environmental pollution in Africa. Among other toxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major health concern for exposed individuals. In a cross-sectional study, the levels of PAH metabolites in the urine of individuals working on one of the largest e-waste recycling sites of Africa, and in controls from a suburb of Accra without direct exposure to e-waste recycling activities, were investigated. Socioeconomic data, basic health data and urine samples were collected from 72 exposed individuals and 40 controls. In the urine samples, concentrations of the hydroxylate PAH metabolites (OH-PAH) 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-OH-phenanthrene), the sum of 2- and 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-/9-OH-phenanthrene), 3-hydroxyphenanthrene (3-OH-phenanthrene), 4-hydroxyphenanthrene (4-OH-phenanthrene) and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OH-pyrene), as well as cotinine and creatinine, were determined. In the exposed group, median urinary concentrations were 0.85μg/g creatinine for 1-OH-phenanthrene, 0.54μg/g creatinine for 2-/9-OH-phenanthrene, 0.99μg/g creatinine for 3-OH-phenanthrene, 0.22μg/g creatinine for 4-OH-phenanthrene, and 1.33μg/g creatinine for 1-OH-pyrene, all being significantly higher compared to the control group (0.55, 0.37, 0.63, 0.11 and 0.54μg/g creatinine, respectively). Using a multivariate linear regression analysis including sex, cotinine and tobacco smoking as covariates, exposure to e-waste recycling activities was the most important determinant for PAH exposure. On physical examination, pathological findings were rare, but about two thirds of exposed individuals complained about cough, and one quarter about chest pain. In conclusion, we observed significantly higher urinary PAH metabolite concentrations in individuals who were exposed to e-waste recycling compared to controls who were not exposed to e-waste recycling activities. The impact of e-waste recycling on exposure to environmental toxins and health of individuals living in the surroundings of e-waste recycling sites warrant further investigation.Science of The Total Environment 08/2013; 466-467C:369-376. · 3.16 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Travelers diarrhea affects millions of tourists each year. Most cases are caused by a variety of bacterial enteropathogens: toxigenic Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Shigella, Salmonella, Aeromonas, Plesiomonas and non-cholera vibrios. Treatment may include antibacterial therapy with either ciprofloxacin, or azitrhomycin, or rifaximin. Viral pathogens such as norovirus usually cause short-term illness that typically resolves before travelers seek medical attention. Chronic gastrointestinal disease inreturning travelers often is caused by parasitic pathogens like Giardia lamblia. The impact of prevention of travelers diarrhea is limited, therefore travelers should be informed about early self-treatment.DMW - Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift 08/2013; 138(33):1673-86. · 0.65 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For rapid initiation of anti-malarial treatment and prevention of complications, early diagnosis and risk stratification is important in patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Routine laboratory values do not correlate well with disease severity. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic and prognostic value of several biomarkers related to inflammation; endothelial and cardiac dysfunction; coagulation, and haemolysis in imported P. falciparum malaria. In a prospective case-control study, 79 adult travellers with both uncomplicated and complicated P. falciparum malaria were included between 2007 and 2011. Forty-one healthy subjects were included as controls. Blood samples were obtained within 24 hours after first consultation to assess routine laboratory values as well as markers related to inflammation (PAPP-A, copeptin, CRP), endothelial activation (MPO, elastase-2, endothelin-1, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1), cardiac function (NT-proBNP, MR-proANP), coagulation (fibrinogen, D-dimers, platelet count), and haemolysis (LDH). Prognostic performance was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve = AUROC). Twelve (15.2%) patients had severe P. falciparum malaria. In the patient group, significant thrombocytopaenia was found, all other markers but PAPP-A were significantly elevated. Diagnostic performance was best for CRP with an AUROC of 1.00, followed by MPO (0.99), D-dimers (0.98), elastase-2 (0.98), and sICAM-1 (0.98). Biomarker levels did not correlate well with disease severity. The combination of travel history, fever prior to blood sampling, and CRP serum levels above or below 10.8 mg/l upon hospital admission, best discriminated between malaria patients and control persons. None of the biomarkers studied predicted the presence or the development of malaria complications, neither at the time of admission, nor during hospitalization.Malaria Journal 07/2013; 12(1):246. · 3.49 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Severe malaria is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease. It has been conclusively shown that artesunate compared to quinine is superior in antiparasitic efficacy and in lowering mortality showing a better short-term safety profile. Regarding longer-term effects, reports of delayed haemolysis after parenteral artesunate for severe malaria in returning travellers have been published recently. So far, delayed haemolysis has not been described after the use of parenteral quinine. In this retrospective study, all patients treated for severe malaria at the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf were included between 2006 and 2012. The primary endpoint was the proportion of delayed haemolysis in patients treated with quinine versus those who received artesunate. As secondary endpoint, the proportion of any adverse event was assessed. A total of 36 patients with severe malaria were included in the analysis. Of these, 16 patients contributed sufficient data to assess the endpoint delayed haemolysis. Twelve were treated primarily with intravenous quinine -- with four patients having received intrarectal artesunate as an adjunct treatment -- and five patients were treated primarily with artesunate. Five cases of delayed haemolysis could be detected -- two in patients treated with quinine and intrarectal artesunate and three in patients treated with artesunate. No case of delayed haemolysis was detected in patients treated with quinine alone.While adverse events observed in patients treated with artesunate were limited to delayed haemolysis (three patients, 60%) and temporary deterioration in renal function (three patients, 60%), patients treated with quinine showed a more diverse picture of side effects with 22 patients (71%) experiencing at least one adverse event. The most common adverse events after quinine were hearing disturbances (12 patients, 37%), hypoglycaemia (10 patients, 32%) and cardiotoxicity (three patients, 14%)." This study provides further evidence on delayed haemolysis after artesunate and underlines the importance of a standardized follow-up of patients treated with artesunate for severe malaria.Malaria Journal 07/2013; 12(1):241. · 3.49 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections have recently been described in HIV-infected patients. Only few data are available for sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV and HEV are highly co-endemic, and where liver pathology is common in HIV-infected individuals. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of HEV viremia, anti-HEV antibodies, and serum aminotransferase levels in HIV patients in Ghana and Cameroon. STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively surveyed a cross-section of patients who were enrolled in cohort studies in Ghana (West Africa), and Cameroon (Central Africa). Plasma samples from 1029 HIV patients from Ghana and 515 patients from Cameroon including 214 children were analyzed for HEV-RNA by two reverse transcription PCR methods. In a subset of 791 patients, anti-HEV IgG and IgM antibodies were analyzed. RESULTS: No HEV-RNA was detected in any of the plasma samples of 1544 patients. HEV seroprevalence was high in adult HIV patients from Ghana (45.3%, n=402) and Cameroon (14.2%, n=289), but low in pediatric HIV patients from Cameroon (2.0%, n=100). Elevations of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were common in adult patients from Ghana (20.8% and 25.4%) and Cameroon (38.9% and 69.8%). The prevalence of hepatitis B virus surface antigen was 11.8% and of hepatitis C virus antibodies 2.5% in our adult Cameroonian study population. CONCLUSIONS: Acute or chronic HEV infections did not play a role in liver pathology in two HIV cohorts in Ghana and Cameroon. A better understanding of the epidemiology and genotype-specific characteristics of HEV infections in HIV patients in sub-Saharan Africa is needed.Journal of clinical virology: the official publication of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology 06/2013; · 3.12 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In Africa, success of antiretroviral treatment (ART) seems to lag behind in children compared to adults and high therapeutic failure rates have been reported. We aimed to identify prevalence and determinants of virological failure in HIV-infected children treated under programmatic conditions. METHODS: All patients <18 years on ART presenting to the HIV clinic at the Bamenda Regional Hospital, a secondary referral hospital in rural Cameroon from September 2010 to August 2011, were enrolled in this cross sectional study. Clinical data, self-reported adherence, CD4 counts, and viral load were recorded. Therapeutic drug monitoring was performed on stored plasma samples. Determinants of virological failure were identified using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 230 children with a mean age of 8.9 (SD 3.7) years were included. At the time of analysis the mean duration of HAART was 3.5 (SD 1.7) years and 12% had less than 200 CD4 cells/µL. 53% of children experienced virological failure(>200 c/mL). Among children on NVP, plasma levels were subtherapeutic in 14.2% and supratherapeutic in 42.2%. Determinants of virological failure included male sex, lower CD4 cell counts, subtherapeutic drug levels, longer time on ART, and a deceased mother. Poor adherence was associated with subtherapeutic NVP plasma levels and advanced disease stages (WHO stage 3/4). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates high virological failure rates and a high variability of NVP plasma levels among HIV infected children in a routine ART program in rural Cameroon. Strategies to improve adherence to ART in HIV infected children are urgently needed.Antiviral therapy 03/2013; · 3.14 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Acute schistosomiasis constitutes a rare but serious condition in individuals experiencing their first prepatent Schistosoma infection. To circumvent costly and time-consuming diagnostics, an early and rapid diagnosis is required. So far, classic diagnostic tools such as parasite microscopy or serology lack considerable sensitivity at this early stage of Schistosoma infection. To validate the use of a blood based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the detection of Schistosoma DNA in patients with acute schistosomiasis who acquired their infection in various endemic regions we conducted a European-wide prospective study in 11 centres specialized in travel medicine and tropical medicine. METHODS: Patients with a history of recent travelling to schistosomiasis endemic regions and freshwater contacts, an episode of fever (body temperature >= 38.5[degree sign]C) and an absolute or relative eosinophil count of >=700/mul or 10%, were eligible for participation. PCR testing with DNA extracted from serum was compared with results from serology and microscopy. RESULTS: Of the 38 patients with acute schistosomiasis included into the study, PCR detected Schistosoma DNA in 35 patients at initial presentation (sensitivity 92%). In contrast, sensitivity of serology (enzyme immunoassay and/or immunofluorescence assay) or parasite microscopy was only 70% and 24%, respectively. CONCLUSION: For the early diagnosis of acute schistosomiasis, real-time PCR for the detection of schistosoma DNA in serum is more sensitive than classic diagnostic tools such as serology or microscopy, irrespective of the region of infection. Generalization of the results to all Schistosoma species may be difficult as in the study presented here only eggs of S. mansoni were detected by microscopy. A minimum amount of two millilitre of serum is required for sufficient diagnostic accuracy.BMC Infectious Diseases 01/2013; 13(1):55. · 2.56 Impact FactorThis article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format -
Article: Leishmaniasis acquired by travellers to endemic regions in Europe – a EuroTravNet multi-centre study
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Clinical manifestations of leishmaniasis include cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL). About 90% of cases occur in the tropics or subtropics but the disease is also endemic in the Mediterranean area. No systematic analysis on leishmaniasis in travellers visiting endemic areas in Europe is available. Methods Within the European travel medicine network EuroTravNet, we performed a retrospective analysis in travellers who acquired leishmaniasis within Europe diagnosed between 2000 and 2012. Results Fourty cases of leishmaniasis (30 CL and 10 VL) were identified; the majority were acquired in Spain (n=20, 50%), Malta and Italy (each n=7, 18%). Median age was 48 years (range 1 – 79). Three of eight (37.5%) of the VL patients were on immunosuppressive therapy. The most frequent reason for travel was tourism (83%). Median duration of travel for patients with CL and VL was 2 weeks with ranges of 1 – 21 weeks in CL and 1 – 67 weeks in VL, respectively (P=0.03). Conclusions Health professionals should include leishmaniasis in the differential diagnosis in patients returning from southern Europe – including short-term travellers – with typical skin lesions or systemic alterations like fever, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia.Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease 01/2013; · 1.54 Impact Factor -

In Heaven
"In Heaven" | |
Song by Laurel Near Peter Ivers |
Released | 1977 |
Language | English |
Writer | Peter Ivers |
"In Heaven" is a song originally part of the soundtrack to the David Lynch film Eraserhead, where it is sung by the Lady in the Radiator (Laurel Near). The song was written and performed for the film by Peter Ivers, and was included on the soundtrack album.
The song was sung by fans of English psychobilly band The Meteors at the start of their 1981 debut album The Case of The Meteors in Heaven on Lost Soul Records.
It was covered by The Pixies as part of the recording session for their initial demo tape; this version was released in 2002 on the Pixies EP.[1] The band re-recorded the track for a session for John Peel's BBC radio show in May 1988, which was later released on the Pixies at the BBC album.[2] The song was a regular part of the Pixies' setlist, and a live version by the band appeared as a B-side of the "Gigantic" single, and was also included on The Complete B-Sides album.[3] A version of the song was recorded by the Joe Harvard Band for the Pixies tribute album Dig for Fire, although it was omitted from the final album track listing.[4]
A cover of the song appears on The Danse Society's 1982 Seduction EP.
A cover of the song also appears on the 1993 Miranda Sex Garden album Suspiria.
Another cover was made by Tuxedomoon with Winston Tong that was released in 1987 on Pinheads on the Move, a live version also being released on the Ten Years in One Night live album.[5] Other notable bands to have covered the song live include Bauhaus, who featured it on their Rest in Peace live album,[6] Devo (sung by Booji Boy as the penultimate song in the set[7]), and Faith No More.
American composer and producer Keith Kenniff covered the song on his Ayres album, under the his Helios moniker.
Zola Jesus covered the song, titled "Lady in the Radiator".[8]
Swedish artist Freddie Wadling performed a Swedish cover of the song on his album Den Mörka Blomman (The Dark Flower), released in 2009.
Icelandic band Bang Gang included a version of the song on their debut album You.
Japanese artist Ai Aso covered the song during a live performance in London.
American rock musician Jay Reatard covers this song in a duet with Lindsay Shutt

They're variously called tuk-tuks, boda-bodas, and taxi-motos around the world. Help us find a name that'll click in the States.
A COUPLE of years ago, while living in Cambodia, I stumbled onto a sketchy street on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. My Khmer was good enough for me to understand that the residents really didn't want me around but not good enough to negotiate a graceful exit. As one woman's shouts began to elevate, I raised a finger and said the magic word: moto! Three moto-taxi drivers peeled out to my aid. The red Honda in the middle looked fast, so I leaped on and shouted, "Go! Go! Go!" The driver opened the throttle and weaved through pedestrians and cars until we reached the safety of the wider city.
That ride left me thinking, Why don't we have these in the U.S.? They're more efficient than the Prius, can slip through traffic jams, and don't require waits at bus stops. And with the average U.S. vehicle occupancy at 1.63 at last count, room for one passenger is more than enough. They're generally not illegal here, but insurance premiums and traffic laws negate a lot of a moto-taxi's cost and convenience advantages. That's a shame when you consider that subsidized buses in most cities are so poorly routed, underused, and burdened with air conditioners that driving a midsize car burns less fuel per passenger.
It's hard to pin down the impact moto-taxis have on traffic, but it must mean something that, where regulations allow, they tend to proliferate. The Third World cities that rely on them don't run precise studies, and the European cities, like London and Paris, that have high-end moto-taxi services don't have enough volume to gauge an effect. Something you can measure, though, is popularity: One Paris moto-taxi operator says the city's business doubled last year alone. And in any area with bad public transit, they will always catch on. Only, in this country, we won't let them.
Some of the arguments against moto-taxis are predictable. Americans can't abide disorder, and the moto-taxi thrives on the chaos of the developing world. Once you get past the extra crowding and honking, though, moto-taxis can help reduce congestion by scavenging the empty bits of pavement between cars. Street-legal moto-taxis in the U.S. would ideally use quiet, clean-burning four-stroke engineslike cars as opposed to lawnmowers. A ride on one might even seem luxurious. In 1995, billionaire Richard Branson hired a Euro-style moto-taxi and liked it so much that he bought the companyrenaming it Virgin Limobike.
Motorcycles in general have a reputation for being dangerous, which is true when they're poorly ridden and marginally respected by other drivers. With safety in mind, one French taxi company hires ex-military and former Tour de France motorcycliststhe guys who carry a cameraman along twisty Alps roads at 60 miles per hour. But anyone who spends all day in the saddle is less likely to have an accident. Limobike general manager Ceri Mort admits it's a struggle "to deal with people's misconceptions that we're going to ride like Evel Knievel." There's also long-standing evidence that the more conspicuous motorcycles and ridersand, by extension, moto-taxisare (reflective clothing, etc.), the more likely it is that drivers will see them and share the road.
A few of the moto-taxi's shortcomings are less obviouslike comfort, the weather, and passenger helmet sharing. Virgin Limobike keeps its stable of Yamaha FJR1300's tricked out with backrests, handles, and a stash of all-weather gear, including a waterproof blanket to protect your shoes. Mort says he also provides a "paper hat thing" for helmets if anyone is wary of lice or hair gel, but helmet sharing, he says, is "no worse than putting your head on an airplane seat."
In the U.S., moto-taxis face two main obstacles. The first is insurance. When EagleRider, now the largest motorcycle-rental company, initially shopped for insurance, their rates were three times what they're paying now. The second problem is a traffic law in 37 states that bans "splitting"the practice of riding between lanes. Sounds unsafe, but even when allowed, it accounts for only 3 percent of motorcycle fatalities. When it's outlawed, you're stuck in crosstown traffic just like everyone else, only you're breathing exhaust.
In California, there's no prohibition against splitting lanes. Los Angelespay attention, entrepreneurshas bad traffic, bad parking, good weather, and a fractured mass-transit system. It also has a city transportation department and taxi commission that are willing to consider just about anything. "Whether it's the pedicab, the motorcycle concept, the jet packyou know those exist, too " says Bruce Gillman, spokesman for the L.A. DOT. "Who knows what the future holds?"
If we're smart, it'll hold moto-taxis.

Bills riddled with plethora of procedures to starters
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 28 2014 3:34PM
Entering a critical season in 2014, the Buffalo Bills started off their on-field preparations during Organized Team Activities without the full complement of starters available. That's because nine different players -- eight of which that were regular contributors in 2013 -- could not take part in 11-on-11 drills because of offseason surgeries.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Bills were without wide receiver Robert Woods (ankle), tight end Scott Chandler (knee), wide receiver T.J. Graham (hip) and wide receiver Marcus Easley (knee). All four had surgeries on their particular ailments.
On defense, Buffalo didn't have defensive end Mario Williams (hip), linebacker Kiko Alonso (hip), cornerback Stephon Gilmore (hip), cornerback Leodis McKelvin (hip), safety Aaron Williams (shoulder) and defensive end Jerry Hughes (undisclosed) during team drills. All of those players, with the exception of Hughes, were said to have had offseason surgery as well.
According to ESPN's Adam Caplan, Alonso had surgery to repair a torn labrum which typically takes around four-to-six months to rehab. The linebacker told reporters after practice that he had the operation in January.
The Bills also had two other players that were injured during the practice. Head coach Doug Marrone revealed both cornerback Ron Brooks and running back Ronnie Wingo had to be looked at during practice with undisclosed injuries of their own.
The Bills resume with their second day of OTAs on Thursday morning.

Detroit lost a million-dollar check
Traffic moves along a street February 24, 2013 in Detroit, Mich.
Our final note today is about Detroit. We've talked a lot about it on this show, about how the city gets out of bankruptcy.
Here's another peek into the Detroit's dysfunction: It turns out that earlier this year the city lost a million-dollar check.
The school system sent the check to the city. It got put in a drawer at City Hall. And didn't turn up for a month.
They didn't wire the money because Detroit doesn't have the technology to do that. Its financial systems are about 30 years out of date.

Giants 3, Padres 1
SAN DIEGO -- Padres rookie Andrew Werner had trouble with the leadoff man, and that's what turned his decent outing into a loss.
Werner pitched a perfect first inning Friday night but allowed the leadoff batter to reach base in the next four. Two of them scored, sending Ryan Vogelsong and the San Francisco Giants to a 3-1 win over San Diego.
"I was battling," Werner said. "Two of the five innings I gave up leadoff triples. Any time you do that, you're going to be in a hole. You have to make pitches because you don't want the guy to score and it jacked up my pitch count."
Werner (2-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in 4 2-3 innings.
"The Giants became a little more selective as the game went on," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He is learning. It's only his seventh major league start."
Vogelsong pitched six strong innings and Buster Posey increased his lead in the NL batting race, but not before giving the playoff-bound Giants a big scare.
Posey took a wild pitch off his throat in the second inning. Vogelsong's pitch bounced in the dirt, ricocheted up and hit right underneath Posey's hockey-style catcher's mask.
With the postseason fast approaching, the last thing San Francisco wanted to see was its star slugger hunched over on his knees behind home plate. A leading contender for NL MVP, Posey was in plenty of discomfort -- but he stayed in the game.
"It does show you how tough he is. It was a full shot on his Adam's apple, but he wanted to stay in," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Posey was shaken up and remained on his knees for a few minutes. He was attended to by a trainer.
"When I got there, I could see the seam mark on his Adam's apple, so I knew it got him good," Vogelsong said. "I know he is a tough son of a gun. I think if I got hit in the throat while I was catching, I'd probably be laying on the training table."
After the game, Posey had little to say about the play. That's because he could barely speak above a hoarse whisper.
He did manage to communicate that he was "OK, except my throat hurts."
Posey went 2 for 4 with a triple and a double to increase his average to .334, four points better than Andrew McCutchen of Pittsburgh. McCutchen went hitless in two at-bats with a walk, dropping his average two points to .330, during the no-hitter thrown by Cincinnati's Homer Bailey on Friday night.
Suspended outfielder Melky Cabrera of the Giants has a .346 mark but won't qualify for the batting crown at his own request after a positive drug test.
Bochy, who planned to give Posey a day off Sunday, said if his catcher needs it he will be out of the lineup on Saturday, too.
"He had a rough start," Bochy said. "He threw up before the game, then his throat. I'll check on him (Saturday)."
Bochy said Posey thinks he got sick because of something he ate.
Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run double for San Francisco, which has won 13 of 16. The Giants, 44-32 away from AT&T Park, have won 23 of their last 32 road games.
Vogelsong (14-9) allowed one unearned run and set a career high for wins. He struck out five and walked one as he beat San Diego for the second time in a week.
Javier Lopez got the first out of the ninth inning before Santiago Casilla came in and allowed consecutive singles. Casilla got the final two outs for his 25th save in 31 chances.
The Giants (92-65), who have already wrapped up the NL West title, moved within three games of Washington and Cincinnati for the league's best record with five games remaining.
San Francisco's Marco Scutaro extended his career-best hitting streak to 16 games with an infield single in the third before he left the game one inning later with head and chest congestion.
Posey led off the second with his first triple of the season and scored on Hunter Pence's infield single.
Vogelsong had a single to lead off the third followed by Scutaro's one-out infield single. Sandoval then doubled into the left-center gap for two runs and a 3-0 lead.
Vogelsong ran into trouble in the sixth when he allowed a leadoff single to Will Venable. Chase Headley hit a grounder to first baseman Brandon Belt, who attempted to get Venable at second but threw the ball into left field for an error.
Yonder Alonso followed with an RBI single. With runners at first and third, Vogelsong struck out Chris Denorfia and got Cameron Maybin to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
NOTES: Giants RHP Tim Lincecum will pitch Sunday on regular rest. There had been some question about when the two-time Cy Young Award winner would make his next start after he was hit hard in his last outing. ... San Diego 2B Logan Forsythe (sore right knee) was held out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. ... The Padres extended their player-development contract with Triple-A Tucson of the Pacific Coast League through the 2014 season. ... Giants LHP Madison Bumgarner (16-10, 3.26 ERA) will face Padres LHP Eric Stults (7-3, 2.81) on Saturday night.

Websites don't age well. Sooner than you think it's time for a web redesign, but don't forget the 5 CSFs (Critical Success Factors) shared here.
5 Critical Success Factors For When Your Web Redesign
This post features behind the scenes notes from our http://www.Moon-Audio.com redesign. Picture above is a "Before" and "After" view of Moon Audio's website. We spent a lot of time working on the site's information architecture.
We spent so much time because we have a lot of customer data now thanks to Google Analytics. We used that data to find the 80-20 rule and kept that finding in mind as we changed site navigation and categories.
This kind of "What Business are we In" work goes to the first two bullet point – Start with Why and Listen To Customer Votes. Another goal, not stated in the Curagami post, was to create an immediate sense of "I'm in the right place" scenttrail.
Ecommerce, especially in popular categories such as #headphones and #electronics, have two kinds of sties. One site is informational making money from passing customers over to sellers. Cnet.com is an example of a content site making money by capturing attention with great content and then passing customers on to a site where they can buy what they've just researched.
The New Ecommerce
We see the New Ecommerce merging Cnet and commerce to build sustainable online community. But there's a problem. Either of those missions is a full-time job – commerce, content or community. Merchants will need to delegate content creation to trusted members of their community and find ways to merchandise content and commerce more seamlessly than ever before.
The new Moon-Audio.com begins the move toward sustainable online content, commerce and community by clearly signalling THIS IS A STORE. Soon we hope to increase the signal to THIS IS A STORE WHERE YOU CAN LEARN TOO and finally THIS IS A COMMUNITY WHERE YOU CAN BUY AND LEARN.
Mashing up, curating and listening are the new skills needed to be a successful online merchant. No ecom site is GREAT at content, commerce and community…yet. Moon-Audio.com will fire on all three ideas over the next few months. Stay tuned.

The phrase "great content" frustrates the spit out of day-to-day business owners. I tell my clients that my definition of great content is similar to the Supreme Court's definition of pornography – "I know it when I see it." But we both know that this definition isn't good enough.

A book charting the frontier between handicrafts and geometry has won Britain's quirkiest literary award, the Diagram Prize for the year's oddest book title.
"Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes" by mathematician Daina Taimina, was named the winner on Friday, beating runners—up "What Kind of Bean is This Chihuahua?" and "Collectible Spoons of the Third Reich."
Prize overseer Horace Bent, says "the public proclivity towards non—Euclidian needlework" proved too strong for the competition.
Founded in 1978, the prize is run by trade magazine The Bookseller. The winner is decided by public vote.
The other finalists were "Afterthoughts of a Worm Hunter," "Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots" and "The Changing World of Inflammatory Bowel Disease."
