text: I just got a call today from the girl at the birthing center who administered the test. I started to panic. There was definitely a problem...but she said not with the results. She had submitted my blood samples to the lab in the wrong test tubes. So I have to take it again.

Couldn't Have Had a More Delightful Evening – I shared dinner with six of my relatives on 12/23/11, and we had an absolutely wonderful meal. My husband had the pork shank, which was fall-off-the-bone tender; I enjoyed the bratwurst dinner. Others in our party had the seasonal sausages and sauerbraten. We drank gluhwein and beers that our waitress suggested, shared appetizers, and shared desserts. Even though the place got busy, our waitress was attentive and professional.
Since it was a weekend (Friday) night, a couple in German dress played violins in the entryway. The man even played a saw! Truly the crowning touch to a delightful evening.
Great old world atmosphere and food. – My husband and I went to the Black Forest Inn this last weekend and we very much enjoyed the atmosphere and food. We have been going there for over 25 years, usually only a couple of times each year. It has always been a good experience. Although most of the meals have been in the patio area, which I adore, our last meal was inside. I had forgotten how warm and fuzzy it feels, very relaxing. The food was a delight, we had hasenpfeffer which we had not tasted in years, so good! Also, there was a new dish (to us) that we tried, spinach cheese maultachen, it was delicious! Lastly, the black forest cherry torte was wonderful. We are going to make sure we get back there soon.
This Place Sucks – (Note: The only reason this place gets one star is because a rating is required to post a review! Otherwise there would be no stars.)
Last night I was joining my friends for dinner at Black Forest Inn in Minneapolis. They wanted to try the food and we had never been there before.
I arrived and went to join them on the "famous" courtyard patio. The chairs are old dingy flimsy wire contraptions and the floor is old half rotten bricks (installed in 1971 probably) that are badly in need of some maintenance (the whole place needs a serious remodel and cleaning and a little building maintenance and paint would not hurt either).
As I sat down, the leg of the chair went into a hole in the floor (probably created by years of frost heaves below the brick) where a brick was supposed to be and I fell very hard backwards into the table behind me, knocking over everyone's drinks, and my leg hit the table where my friends were sitting, knocking over their drinks.
I was stunned and scared by the fall and had to catch my breath for a second. One waitress asked if I was OK, and I replied no, I was not OK. She then disappeared and never came back.
I got up after a few moments and made my way out of the restaurant and back to my car and I went to urgent care to get checked out. I was shaking so badly I almost could not drive.
When I called the restaurant to find out who the owner was, the manager, Gina, was rude and snotty. She didn't apologize or ask if I was OK or anything. Nor did she ever manage to ask my friends if they were OK, or if the restaurant could replace their drinks or even if I had been hurt. She never came out of the back of the restaurant.
When I called the owner this morning, she was a bit more gracious and did apologize and gave me their insurance company's information (for my medical bills). She explained that the staff had not even told the manager that a patron had fallen until after I called (say what?). She also had to ask me if the manager had made it right with my friends, or had offered to pay for my meal (I was only in the restaurant for less than five minutes, so there was no meal to pay for).
My friends stayed for the meal and reported that both Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit in Northeast Minneapolis and Glockenspiel in St. Paul have much better food.
My roommate, who has eaten at Black Forest many times before, said that this place has lost it in the past few years. He said that twenty-five or thirty years ago, it was the best in the business, but now the staff, the building and the food are all a bit tired and decrepit. The building even looks run down and shabby.
You can bet I'll never go back (I don't want to die) and I highly recommend that anyone who values their personal safety at least stay off the courtyard until their insurance company forces them to put in a new floor that's safe and replace the flimsy wire chairs with ones that are stable and safe.
I feel like crap today (sore all over) and I need to go back to the doctor because my leg is bothering me. This whole experience sucks big time!!!!!!!!!!
Black Forest Inn. An oasis in Minneapolis. – This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. The Schnitzel is amazing. Where else can you find Sauerkraut so sweet and delicious. If you have a drop of German in you or perhaps just the stomach of one, this restaurant is an EASY decision.
A lot of the bad reviews are off. – I understand that the food is slightly high priced (10-25 dollars) but I just read a review saying that a slice of veal is 25 dollars with no sides, and that sides are 10 dollars extra. For 35 dollars you can get more food than two people could possibly finish and a mug of beer each.
Point is, if you like German food, Black Forest is good. The service can be amazing or slow depending on the server you get, the cocktails are slightly overpriced, the atmosphere is great on nights and weekends especially, and they have great beer. Sit at the bar or bar tables on a weekday if you want good atmosphere, if you want peace and quiet to read the paper or have a conversation, sit in one of the two dining rooms.
Good - Saurbraten
German Potato Salad
All food is made on site (except the Polish sausage).
long cold meal – Prime example that people will love mediocre food if they think it is exotic and have to pay a lot of money for it. It took nearly an hour to get our meal only to find it a few degrees above room temperature. And if this is a good example of German cuisuine (which I have my doubts) then I won't revisit it. I paid 25.00 dollars for a 6 ounce piece of cold, dried-out veal with salt gravy; and that's it. I wasn't aware I needed to fork over about 10 more dollars for any side dishes.
Disappointed – We took my father in law to celebrate his birthday there, first time for all of us. There were a few of us that were disappointed, my mother and father in law however loved their meal, but then again they also eat grissle and blubber nuggets. They love food doesnt matter where what or who it came from.....go figure? I however was really disappointed. I am a wienerschnitzel lover, the schnitzel, the fries, the gravy. the whole works. I love german food. This meal was just awful. Everything from the presentation, to portion (very very small), the taste, the color and texture. For the price I expected more. Being a full blooded German born and raised in Germany, I know my cuisines. For some reason I sensed disappointment from the get go. My Childrens meal,..chicken strips & fries were almost black in color. Potato pancakes & onion rings also appeared burnt. This obviously was not due to over cooking/frying but from not changing the oil in the fryers regularly & not scrubbing the stove tops. The oil was OLD & you could taste and see it, all the food came out looking very dark. When my meal arrived I received exactly what I sensed...dirty looking soggy fries along with a paper thin (extremely thin) tiny dirty looking breaded so called schnitzel, that appeared very greasy. I expected a true German meal this was far very far from the real deal or anything close to it. The worst potato pancakes we ever had. Sorry, but those are not the potato pancakes I grew up on, that my mother, my family that still live Germany make & that the restaurants in germany serve. Not sure what those things where, they used fillers & powdered potatos? We had planned to take my Aunt & Uncle that will be visiting from Germany next month, but frankly I would be too embarrassed. I will not be able to handle the "Das ist scheuzlich" over & over again along with this is not german food. Check out Stillwater & St Paul, much better places. The prices are way to high for what you are getting....bad food
ok food, fun – I went with a group of four. We were seated quickly. It took some time to get our beer, but not too long. Our waitress was very helpful in deciding which brew to choose. I had no idea what to order since I've never had German food (other than saurkraut on my hot dogs). The waitress suggested a veal dish that came with the spaetzel. I didn't think the spaetzel was all that good - it may have been because they sprinkle parsley over the whole plate and I hate parsley. The veal was good - it was served in a heavy gravy but it was way too salty. I can't imagine that this is real German food, but it was still good. It wasn't as cheap as some of the other restaurants on Eat Street - about $25/person.
Not Recommended for Food Lovers – Whilst on vacation from the UK, my wife and I plus our daughter and granddaughter visited the Black Forest Inn last Sunday. We were disgusted by the quality of the food, it was greasy and totally unappertising. All of us left the majority of our meals. The only good point was that the waiter was pleasant and fairly helpful. The check came to nearly $90 and was a complete waste of money. We would defenitely NOT recommend this Inn for lovers of German food. It was a very poor example of German cuisine.
great atmosphere for Teutonic dining – A word of warning: I haven't been to the Black Forest for a while, so this is based on my memory (which has been known to be unreliable!) In a nutshell, the Black Forest is a great place for German food. I've never sat inside, only in the enclosed beer garden, which is a must during the summer and fall. The bar inside is nice and dimly lit, full of dark wood - a place you'd want to be, in other words, when the weather turns chilly.
Food-wise, I've had nothing but good dishes, although I think they're a bit overpriced (spatzel = yum!) But when you combine delicious German food with great atmosphere, you can't beat it with a stick.

Alcohol & the breast
Whereas beer consumption was not associated with breast cancer risk, increased risks were found at higher levels of both wine and liquor consumption.
Results support a positive association between alcohol and breast cancer among postmenopausal women. The increased risk was particularly found among women who consumed 30 g or more of alcohol daily.

Antioxidants & the breast
Increasing evidence presents a relationship between nutrition and mammary resistance to infection. The role of nutrition in mammary resistance has been best defined for antioxidants.
Erskine-RJ.: Nutrition and mastitis. Vet-Clin-North-Am-Food-Anim-Pract. 1993 Nov; 9(3): 551-61.
Retinoids and carotenoids
A case-control study of the associations of retinoids and specific carotenoids with breast cancer using concentrations of these nutrients in breast adipose tissue was conducted among women attending a breast clinic in the Boston area in 1989-1992.
Inverse associations between breast adipose concentrations of retinoids and carotenoids and risk of breast cancer, although not all were statistically significant.
There was a nonsignificant positive correlation between breast adipose tissue concentrations of retinol and dietary intake of preformed vitamin A, including supplements measured by using a food-frequency questionnaire.
No correlation was found between breast adipose concentrations of carotenoids and intake of dietary carotenoids.
Data suggest that higher breast adipose concentrations of retinoids and some carotenoids may be associated with decreased risk of breast cancer and that further examination of these relations is warranted.

Benign disorders
Benign lesions
Spectrum of benign disorders
Benign lesions
Most patients who consult their physician for "breast lesions" do not have a malignancy of the breast. The benign lesions of the breast include fibrocystic condition, macrocyst fibroadenomas, and intraductal papillomas. Nipple discharge is a common condition, and the diagnosis and treatment is discussed. Rarer benign tumors such as adenoid tumors, lipomas, neurofibromatosis, benign fibrous histiocytoma, and glandular cell tumors are discussed briefly.
Benign tumors of the breast. Isaacs-JH. Obstet-Gynecol-Clin-North-Am. 1994 Sep; 21(3): 487-97.
Spectrum of benign disorders
In a period of 2 years, 234 cases of benign breast disorder were studied.
Breast pain and modularity was the commonest group (70.1%) followed by fibroadenoma (17.5%).
Cyclical mastalgia (61.5%) is more common than non-cyclical mastalgia (38.5%). The age of the patients with cyclical mastalgia was significantly lesser than patients with non-cyclical mastalgia. Cyclical mastalgia was seen only in premenopausal females while non-cyclical mastalgia was also seen in postmenopausal females.
Treatment with vitamin E showed 41% response rate with minimal side-effects while treatment with danazol showed 72.1% response rate but was associated with side-effects in one third of the patients.

Breast factors
Primary care physicians can integrate care of the breasts through a woman's life cycle. Early and frequent nursing and careful attention to the infant's suckling position during the postpartum period can prevent several common problems.
Neonatal jaundice, poor weight gain, mastitis, and candidiasis should be recognized and managed correctly.
Outside the puerperium, fibrocystic change, nonlactational mastitis, and benign breast masses are encountered commonly.
Problems related to silicone augmentation are discussed briefly.

Breast health - an overview
There has been significant improvement in breast health care in the United States over the past few decades primarily due to advances in health research by diverse teams of basic scientists, physicians, pharmacists, industries, nurses, and social workers.
Increase in public awareness of breast cancer, an interest in women's health issues, advances in radiologic imaging, development of new chemotherapeutic agents and the availability of molecular genetic testings have brought remarkable opportunities to a new insight in breast cancer.
These efforts have resulted in earlier detection and prolonged disease-free intervals, however, the overall survival time has remained the same. This is mainly attributable to the wide range of individual therapy for breast cancer, which responds to a range of disease curable by surgery alone to one refractory to treatment and marked by rapid metastatic progression.
Attempts should also be made to promote clinical and population-based studies and to emphasize the value of effective delivery of health-care services to all women with benign, high risk, premalignant and malignant breast disease.
Masood S et al., Breast health. Challenges and promises. J Fla Med Assoc, 1996 Aug-Sep, 83:7, 459-65.
Breast size
The relationship between brassi?re size, as an indicator of breast size, and breast cancer risk was considered in a case--control study conducted between 1991 and 1994 in six Italian centres. Cases were 2,557 women, below age 75, with histologically confirmed breast cancer, and controls were 2,566 women admitted to hospital for a wide spectrum of acute, non-neoplastic, non-hormone-related diseases.
A slight inverse relationship was observed between breast size and the risk of breast cancer, with an OR of 1.37 for the smallest brassi?re size compared with the largest
There is a lack of appreciable association between breast size and breast cancer risk in this Italian population.
Tavani A et al., Breast size and breast cancer risk. Eur J Cancer Prev, 1996 Oct, 5:5, 337-42.
DNA fingerprinting
Paired blood and breast tissue samples from 96 patients undergoing surgical excision of a breast lesion were subjected to DNA fingerprint analysis using the minisatellite probes 33.6 and 33.15.
The 'fingerprints' of the blood and breast DNA were compared. DNA fingerprint changes seen were classified as band additions, band deletions or changes in band intensity. Significantly more DNA fingerprint changes were seen in malignant than in benign lesions (probe 33.6, P).

Diabetes & the breast
Insulin-dependent diabetics
Diabetic mastopathy represents less than 1% of benign breast diseases, but is more frequent (13%) in insulin-dependent diabetics.
In the male patients, diabetic mastopathy simulated gynecomastia.
Lymphocytic mastitis in diabetic mastopathy is thought to be a diabetes-induced reaction probably of autoimmune origin. Moreover, lymphocytic mastitis with or without diabetes mellitus may represent a lymphoepithelial lesion of the MALT-type which, under certain circumstances, is considered to bear a prelymphomatous potential.
Hunfeld KP & Bässler R: Lymphocytic mastitis and fibrosis of the breast in long-standing insulin-dependent diabetics. A histopathologic study on diabetic mastopathy and report of ten cases. Gen Diagn Pathol, 1997 Jul, 143:1, 49-58.
Fractal analysis
The increased use of screening mammography has led to increased pressure to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. Even those lesions considered "suspicious" by qualitative radiologists' interpretations may prove malignant in less than 30% of cases.
Fractal analysis is a mathematical technique that quantifies complex shapes. The hypothesis tested is that fractal analysis can quantify the difference between the shapes of benign and malignant lesions as imaged by mammography.
Fractal analysis may be useful to evaluate mammographically discovered breast masses. A blinded, prospective trial will be needed to determine its ultimate usefulness.
Velanovich V: Fractal analysis of mammographic lesions: a feasibility study quantifying the difference between benign and malignant masses. Am J Med Sci, 1996 May, 311:5, 211-4.
Lipids status
Benign mammary gross cystic disease is the most common breast lesion; women with apocrine changes of epithelium lining the cysts are at higher risk for developing breast cancer than the normal population.
Total cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoproteins fractions, triglycerides and phospholipids, lipase activity and total lipid concentrations were measured in cyst fluids and sera from 89 women affected by gross cystic breast disease.
Total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein content were significantly greater in pooled cyst fluids than normal sera.
Mannello F et al., Lipids status in human breast cyst fluids. Cancer Lett, 1996 Jan 2, 98:2, 137-43.
Sonographic differentiation (2)
Differentiation (1)
Compared the accuracies of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and scintimammography in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.
Twelve lesions were monitored with follow-up.
MR imaging was false-negative in one and false-positive in nine lesions.
Planar scintimammography was false-negative in 10 and false-positive in six lesions.
SPECT scintimammography was false-negative in four and false-positive in 10 lesions.
Sensitivities and specificities for malignancy were, respectively, 96% and 82% for MR imaging, 62% and 88% for planar scintimammography, and 83% and 80% for SPECT scintimammography.
Both MR imaging and scintimammography are useful in the evaluation of breast cancer. MR imaging is more sensitive and as specific as scintimammography.
Helbich TH et al., Differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions: MR imaging versus Tc-99m sestamibi scintimammography. Radiology, 1997 Feb, 202:2, 421-9.
Sonographic differentiation
Differentiated breast lesions on sonography by measurements in two compression states that are perpendicular to each other.
Diameters of 100 breast lesions were measured preoperatively under lateromedial and craniocaudal compression with a new sonographic method. This method uses mammography-identical positioning of the breast and a reference structure for detection of changes of sound amplitude and velocity by through transmission of lesions.
Ninety-six percent of the malignant lesions appeared with ratios < or = 1.2, whereas 92% of the benign lesions had a ratio > 1.2. Further differentiation is possible by observation of velocity in lesions with ratios > 1.2.
Examination of lesions in two compression states that are perpendicular to each other allows discrimination of benign and malignant masses by measurements in most patients.
Richter K et al., Differentiation of breast lesions by measurements under craniocaudal and lateromedial compression using a new sonographic method. Invest Radiol, 1996 Jul, 31:7, 401-14.
Sonographic differentiation (2)
Sonography can be used for the accurate differentiation of many benign and malignant solid breast lesions. However, considerable experience, and close correlation with the physical examination and the mammogram, are required to do so.
Sixteen sonographic signs useful in this differentiation are reviewed.
Primary breast malignancies are divided into five categories according to their sonographic presentations:
(1) classic neoplasms with irregular borders, echoic rims, and usually posterior shadowing,
(2) small, round neoplasms with no echoic rim or posterior shadowing,
(3) neoplasms with mixed or increased echogenicity,
(4) cystic or intracystic carcinomas, and
(5) colloid carcinomas.
Methods for identification of these different types of invasive malignancy, and of in situ carcinomas, are presented.
The usefulness of sonomammography is considered in specific circumstances, including evaluation of mammographic or physical findings, dense breasts, post-radiation breasts, and women under 35 years of age.
Kelly KM: Sonographic evaluation of benign and malignant breast lesions. Crit Rev Diagn Imaging, 1996 Apr, 37:2, 79-161.
Luteal heat cycle
Wearing a special thermometric brassiere, selected women self-measured their breast surface temperature. These measurements were made during one hour each evening at home for one menstrual cycle under standard conditions of overclothing and room temperature.
To stage their cycle they also collected daily samples of saliva in their freezer for immuno-assay of progesterone concentration in the laboratory.
There were 4 groups, a control group (N = 25) and three 'disease' groups, namely: family history of breast cancer (14); benign breast disease (12); and a 'cancer-associated' group (31) who had had previous cancer surgery.
A significant breast temperature rhythm with a period at or about 28 days was in all groups.
Nevertheless, consistent rhythm abnormalities were found in the disease groups. Most evident was a hyperthermia throughout the cycle, a reduction in the rhythm amplitude, and a tendency for the breast temperature rhythm to be manifest 1-2 days earlier in the menstrual cycle.
Simpson HW The luteal heat cycle of the breast in disease. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 1996, 37:2, 169-78.
Radiation therapy
Presents the long-term risks of developing malignancies other than breast cancer after exposure to scattered doses of ionizing radiation.
The estimates were based on a cohort of 3,090 women who were diagnosed clinically with benign breast disease between 1925 and 1961. A total of 1,216 women were treated with radiation therapy. The breasts received a mean absorbed dose of 5.84 Gy. Mean absorbed doses owing to scatter to 14 other organs were also determined. The lung received the highest mean scattered dose (0.75 Gy; range 0.004-8.98 Gy) and rectum the lowest (0.008 Gy; range 0-0.06 Gy). Median age at first exposure was 40 years. The follow-up lasted up to 61 years after treatment (mean follow-up 27 years).
No increased risk was observed for leukemias. In two earlier reports, breast cancer incidence has been shown to be significantly increased in this cohort of irradiated women. Our results suggest that the scattered doses from the breast irradiation may have increased the risk of cancers of other sites, but the small number of cases in different locations precludes strong interpretations.
Mattsson A et al., Incidence of primary malignancies other than breast cancer among women treated with radiation therapy for benign breast disease. Radiat Res, 1997 Aug, 148:2, 152-60.
Risk factors & the breast
Assessed the relative risks associated with established risk factors for breast cancer, and whether the association between dietary fat and breast cancer risk varies according to levels of these risk factors.
Total fat intake (adjusted for energy consumption) was not associated significantly with breast cancer risk in any strata of these non-dietary risk factors.
A marginally significant interaction between total fat intake and risk of breast cancer according to history of benign breast disease; with fat intake being associated nonsignificantly positively with risk among women with a previous history of benign breast disease; no other significant interactions were observed.
Risks for reproductive factors were similar to those observed in case-control studies; relative risks for family history of breast cancer were lower.
No clear evidence in any subgroups of a major relation between total energy-adjusted fat intake and breast cancer risk was found.
Hunter DJ et al., Non-dietary factors as risk factors for breast cancer, and as effect modifiers of the association of fat intake and risk of breast cancer. Cancer Causes Control, 1997 Jan, 8:1, 49-56.
Vitamin E concentration
Vitamin E may be a protective factor against cancer. A low dietary vitamin E intake has been suggested to increase the risk of breast cancer.
Examined the dietary intake and the concentration of vitamin E in breast adipose tissue of women in Kuopio, Finland, diagnosed between 1990 and 1992 with benign breast disease (n = 34) and with breast cancer (n = 32).
In postmenopausal women, lower dietary intake and a smaller concentration of vitamin E in breast adipose tissue were observed in breast cancer patients than in subjects with benign breast disease.
Vitamin E concentration in the breast adipose tissue correlated positively with the dietary intake of vitamin E; indicating that the vitamin E concentration in breast adipose tissue reflects the dietary intake of vitamin E.
Zhu Z et al., Vitamin E concentration in breast adipose tissue of breast cancer patients (Kuopio, Finland). Cancer Causes Control, 1996 Nov, 7:6, 591-5.
Patient education
Determined the impact of distributing patient-education pamphlets to women with benign breast conditions in a large urban multidisciplinary breast clinic.
While only 29 of the 50 women interviewed reported receiving such materials, 27 of these 29 women reported reading them. The patient's level of education and whether the patient had friends/relatives with breast cancer were not different between the women who had read the pamphlets and the women who had not.
The women who had received and read the material scored significantly better than did women who had not on a brief breast cancer screening questionnaire. Of the former, all but three found the information of use; three-fourths of such women rated the materials 8 or higher on an increasing-usefulness scale of 1-10.
The most frequently reported benefit gained from the materials was the proper conduct of breast self-examination. Overall patient satisfaction with the pamphlets was 91%. Half of the women receiving such materials shared them with other women.
Patient-education pamphlets distributed at a multidisciplinary breast clinic result in high patient satisfaction and better patient knowledge of breast health. However, these materials were received and read by patients less often than was expected by staff.
The distribution of such materials is an important function of a multidisciplinary breast clinic.
Vetto JT et al., The impact of distribution of a patient-education pamphlet in a multidisciplinary breast clinic. J Cancer Educ, 1996 Fall, 11:3, 148-52.
Documented the value of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of parasites in breast aspirates.
Review of 8,364 breast aspirates studied over 15 years (1978-1992) for parasitic infections.
Eight cases of cysticercosis and 9 of filariasis were detected among 4,714 benign breast aspirates.
In rare cases, parasitic infections present as breast lumps and can be easily diagnosed by FNAC.

Fatty acids
Fatty acid composition of triglycerides (TGs) and phospholipids (PLs) in breast adipose tissue was analyzed
Results suggest that intake of the long-chain n-3 fatty acids (mainly derived from fish EPA, DHA) may have a protective effect against breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women.
Zhu-ZR. Et al: Fatty acid composition of breast adipose tissue in breast cancer patients and in patients with benign breast disease. Nutr-Cancer. 1995; 24(2): 151-60.
Low fat diet
Previous studies have shown that lipid abnormalities have a role in the pathogenesis of benign breast disease. However, few investigators have tried to reduce dietary fat to treat this disorder.
Used a low fat diet (less than 15% fat-derived calories) in the treatment of benign breast disease in patients who had been symptomatic for 6 months or more.
Phase I results showed that after 6 months none of the patients in the control group had experienced any alteration in their symptoms and signs but in the treatment group 12 out of 17 improved. In phase II improvement in pain (68 out of 97; 70%), nodularity (51 out of 79; 64%) and discharge (15 out of 19; 80%) was seen.
There was a significant decline in the mean values of total cholesterol and high-density lipoproteins at the end of 5 months of treatment.
A low fat diet improved the symptoms and lipid profile in patients with benign breast disease.

Cysts & Benign Breast Disease
Cysts (1)
Interval breast cyst formation is not uncommon, and most of these benign lesions will undergo spontaneous regression or remain stable. Further intervention is not required for interval benign cysts.
Sonographic evaluation of the breast. Venta-LA et al., Radiographics. 1994 Jan; 14(1): 29-50.
Cysts (2)
Patients bearing macrocysts of the breast are at higher risk of later developing cancer. Breast cysts fluid (BCF) contains unusual amounts of steroid conjugates.
Measuring BCF cations (K+,Na+) allows categorization of cysts into two major subsets (type I and type II) that are associated with a different degree and/or turnover of apocrine metaplastic cells in the lining epithelium. Type I cysts (high K+/Na+ ratio) accumulate hugh amounts of androgen and estrogen sulfates. Conversely, type II cysts (low K+/Na+ ratio) contain more progesterone and pregnenolone.
Women with type I cysts have an increased breast cancer risk.
Steroid biochemistry and categorization of breast cyst fluid: relation to breast cancer risk. Angeli-A et al., J-Steroid-Biochem-Mol-Biol. 1994 Jun; 49(4-6): 333-9.
Cysts (3)
Gross cystic disease (GCD) represents an advanced form of fibrocystic disease of the breast. Bearers of macrocysts have been reported to be at risk of developing breast cancer. Natural killer (NK) cells are a lymphocyte subset deeply involved in immunosurveillance against neoplasia.
There was an immunosuppressive effect of breast cyst fluid (BCF), potentially leading to altered "local immunosurveillance".
Natural killer (NK) cell activity of women with gross cystic disease is inhibited in vitro by breast cyst fluid. Ardizzoja-M et al., Anticancer Res. 1994 Mar-Apr; 14(2A): 555-9.
Cysts (4)
Most women have fibrocystic changes in their breasts. Patients with proliferative changes with atypia are at an increased risk of breast cancer. The management of mastalgia is the challenge most frequently encountered in patients with fibrocystic changes. Clinically, the types and variants of fibrocystic changes are sometimes difficult to distinguish. When the diagnosis of fibrocystic changes is unclear, surgical biopsy, should be performed.
Fibrocystic changes. Fiorica-JV. Obstet-Gynecol-Clin-North-Am. 1994 Sep; 21(3): 445-52.
Cysts (5)
Gross cystic disease and breast cancer are hormonally induced diseases that may share a common biochemical environment conducive to abnormal proliferative responses. Breast cyst fluid samples were analyzed for specific growth factors and levels were compared with breast cancer risk.
The presence of multiple cysts was associated with increased mitogenic activity, increased epidermal growth factor (EGF) and TGF-beta breast cyst fluid levels, and recurrent cysts were associated with higher levels of EGF. Unique growth factor profiles were associated with each risk group or clinical state, suggesting that distinct proliferative environments, associated with different clinical outcomes, are present in the breast tissue of women with gross cystic disease.
Growth factor profiles in breast cyst fluid identify women with increased breast cancer risk. Hess-JC et al., Am-J-Surg. 1994 May; 167(5): 523-30.
Fibroadenomas & Benign Breast Disease
Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumors that are commonly diagnosed in young women and are associated with a slight increase in the risk of breast cancer.
Fibroadenomas with cysts, sclerosing adenosis, epithelial calcifications, or papillary apocrine changes were classified as complex.
Fibroadenoma is a long-term risk factor for breast cancer. The risk is increased in women with complex fibroadenomas, proliferative disease, or a family history of breast cancer.
Long-term risk of breast cancer in women with fibroadenoma. Dupont-WD et al., NEJM. 1994 Jul 7; 331(1): 10-5.
Fibrocystic Breast Disease
Fibrocystic Breast Disease (1)
Cancer patients were remarkably heavier, had a higher body mass index, increased menstrual irregularities, later menopause and a shorter school attendance. The cancer patients intake of poultry, fish, pastry, margarine and alcohol was increased while they consumed less milk, raw vegetables, pasta, sugar, butter and coffee. Cancer patients tend to be older than the fibrocystic breast disease patients.
"Nutrition and Lifestyle Factors in Fibrocystic Disease and Cancer of The Breast", Simard, A. et al., Cancer Prevention and Nutrition, 1990;567-572.
Fibrocystic Breast Disease (2)
Over 3800 women who had documented cystic breasts per aspiration were evaluated for their subsequent development of breast cancer. It was found that the subsequent breast cancer risk ratio was 1.77. Though women with documented cystic breasts have a higher subsequent breast cancer rate than expected, the observed increased risk is moderate and does not warrant increased surveillance in these patients.

May 12, 2011
Sometimes these things just sneak up on you!
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that this Friday would be Friday the 13th. I'm not sure how often this date rolls around or if we will see it again this year, but one Friday the 13th for 2011 is enough.
Fortunately, it's pretty unlikely that anything bad will happen. And, in the end, it's still Friday. Friday. Gotta get down on Friday . . . D'oh!
Curse you Rebecca Black!
Has anyone out there ever really had something extraordinarily bad happen to them on Friday? I mean not anything you saw coming. Not anything that could happen on any other Friday. I mean like a true "what are the odds of this even happening?" kind of event on Friday the 13th.
Of course, we can't overlook the connection to Jason Voorhees and all the great movies that have given us love of the date 'Friday the 13th'. So to show some proper respect, here's some deranged individuals wearing hockey masks and wielding large knives.
And for the ladies . . .

God Bless America: God's Vision or Ours?
|Have we forgotten America's roots and turned our backs on the two pillars George Washington called the Foundation of our country – morality and religion? Fr. McCarthy shows we have, but suggests there are ways back to grace and strongly calls for action. This book shows how America was founded on the laws of nature, the Bible, and the God-given inalienable dignity and right to life of every citizen. A strong and urgent call back to our roots as a nation under God.

Let's Celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week – Inspiring the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
by Tameka Montgomery, SBA Official
- Created: November 19, 2013, 10:44 am
- Updated: November 19, 2013, 10:44 am
The U.S. Small Business Administration today introduced a video in recognition of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), to encourage and inspire entrepreneurs to collaborate, innovate, and explore international business opportunities. GEW brings together innovators and job creators who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare.
Each November, GEW inspires people to explore their potential as self-starters and innovators through local, national and worldwide activities. These events, from large-scale competitions to intimate networking gatherings, connect participants to potential collaborators, mentors and even investors—introducing them to new possibilities and exciting opportunities.
SBA and our resource partners are proud to participate in this global celebration of entrepreneurship. Whether it's learning the "Simple Steps to Starting your Business" with SCORE in Baton Rouge , participating in one of the many events held by Small Business Development Centers throughout the country or connecting with our Women's Business Center in Lenexa, Kansas, I believe that entrepreneurs will gain the knowledge, skills, and network necessary to start and grow a successful business.
GEW places a special emphasis on youth entrepreneurs, engaging the next generation of small business owners in skills building and financial empowerment. SBA has the resources to teach the principles of entrepreneurship and the strategies for today's business world, using familiar social networks and collaborative tools.
As we celebrate National Entrepreneurship Month and Small Business Saturday, I am inspired by the movement to celebrate entrepreneurship as a driving force to create jobs and foster small business development through economic empowerment. SBA continues to lead the way in helping small businesses start and grow.
As SBA's associate administrator for the Office of Entrepreneurial Development, I am focused on helping young people succeed by providing them with the tools they need to start their own small businesses. SBA has various online training resources in our Small Business Learning Center, like our latest course, the Young Entrepreneurs Essential Guide to Starting Your Own Business.
To find events in your area and learn more, visit the Global Entrepreneurship Week website.
About the AuthorIn her role as the Agency's Associate Administrator for the Office of Entrepreneurial Development, Tameka Montgomery is responsible for overseeing the agency's counseling and training resources and programs for America's entrepreneurs.

Auburn hit 7-of-13 3-pointers but lost its 14th straight to an SEC opponent.Prather, who was expected to play limited minutes due to a bone bruise in his knee that sidelined him the previous two games, hit his first five shots and scored 14 points as the Gators surged to a 27-14 lead with just under five minutes left in the half. Auburn stormed back to go ahead as Harrell and Denson buried 3-pointers during a 14-0 burst before Wilbekin's two free throws sent Florida into the locker room up 33-32.The Gators built the lead back to eight points but could not shake the Tigers, who battled back to get within 51-50 on a pair of free throws by Denson with 8:02 to play and cut the deficit to 61-60 on Tahj Shamsid-Deen's jumper with 1:44 left. Wilbekin buried a fallaway jumper as the shot clock expired on the ensuing possession and added a free throw before Young swatted away Harrell's shot with under 30 seconds remaining.GAME NOTEBOOK: Prather, who entered averaging a team-best 17 points, has scored in double figures in all 16 games in which he's appeared this season. ...

A Beautiful June Bride
(The Story of My Grandmother's Wedding)
They met, they looked, they sighed, they loved;
Straight each the other chose.
(Why wait till slow-paced years have proved
What each by instinct knows?)
Whate'er mistake we mortals make,
Sure, none is made above.
Give prudence to the prudes; there is
No substitute for love.
Howe'er the worldly-wise may mate,
Apart from soul or sense,
And as undying passion rate
Their tepid preference,
Love is the wing that 's sure to bring
Back to the ark the dove.
What all their wisdom? Ah, it is
No substitute for love.
Would with a title wed,
That, when they are not sore maligned,
They may be envied,
Heaven sends them pride wherewith to hide
The loss they know not of— To find—too late, alas! —there is
No substitute for love.
Who hold in hopeful hands And weave together, unafraid,
Life's old mysterious strands.
" Love is enough"—that is the stuff
Fortune is fashioned of.
To face the fickle world, there 's naught
To substitute for love.

Bills Daily Injury Page
Injury Page
(Last Updated on January 31, 2014)
The official injury report will return in September! Check back throughout training camp for the latest on all the banged up players!
Jairus Byrd
injured his back in the first quarter of the Pro Bowl and did not return. He tweeted after the game that he is fine.
EJ Manuel
revealed he underwent surgery on his left knee after the season to cleanup the ligaments and things. He described it as a 20 minute procedure that was in and out. He missed the final two games of the season with a sprained LCL in that knee. It is his third knee injury since training camp. He sprained the LCL in his right knee in the preseason and a torn meniscus in his left knee during the season.
Aaron Williams
had an undisclosed surgery in the offseason. He missed the final two games of the season with a rib injury.
Kyle Williams
was never 100% during the season after his second straight Achilles surgery last offseason. It never affected him on the field but he did take almost every Wednesday off to rest it. He is looking forward to a fully healthy offseason for the first time in three years.
Dustin Hopkins
suffered a right groin injury in practice the Monday before the opener and spent his rookie season on injured reserve.
Alex Carrington
was carted off in the final minutes of the loss to the Jets in week 3. He underwent surgery for a quadricep tear and is currently rehabbing it. He was placed on injured reserve and is now a free agent.
Drew Smith
was placed on injured reserve before the season started with an undisclosed injury.
Kevin Kolb
suffered a concussion in the third preseason game against Washington and was placed on injured reserve. It was his third concussion and there has been some talk that his career is over. He is still under contract to the Bills for the 2014 season.
Kevin Elliott
sufferd a torn ACL in the preseason and spent the year on injured reserve.
Chris Hairston
was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list ending his season before it began.

Active Standard ASTM E1155M | Developed by Subcommittee: E06.21
Book of Standards Volume: 04.11
Historical (view previous versions of standard)
Significance and Use
This test method provides statistical (and graphical) information concerning floor surface profiles.
Results of this test method are used primarily to:
Establish compliance of randomly trafficked floor surfaces with specified FF Flatness and FL Levelness tolerances,
Evaluate the effect of different construction methods on resulting floor surface flatness and levelness, and
Investigate the curling and deflection of floor surfaces.
Results of this test method shall not be used to enforce contract flatness and levelness tolerances on those floor installations primarily intended to support the operation of fixed-path vehicle systems (for example, narrow aisle warehouse floors).
Note 2—When the traffic patterns across a floor are random, (as is generally the case) evaluation of the floor's FF Flatness and FL Levelness will necessarily involve a random sampling of the surface, since all of the infinite potential profiles to be seen by the traffic can not possibly be measured. In those instances when the traffic across a floor will be confined to specific paths, however, the requirement for random sampling is eliminated, since the floor can indeed be inspected exactly as it will be seen by all of the traffic. In these special cases, rather than inferring the condition of the traffic paths from a random sample, it is far more useful to measure each of the traffic paths directly using continuous recording floor profilometer configured to run exactly in the traffic wheel paths. Such direct simulation measurements eliminate the inherent uncertainties of statistical sampling and provide profile information immediately applicable to the correction of the surface in way of the future traffic.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a quantitative method of measuring floor surface profiles to obtain estimates of the floor's characteristic FF Flatness and FL Levelness Face Floor Profile Numbers (F-Numbers) using the metric (SI) system of units.
Note 1—This is the metric companion to Test Method E 1155
1.2 The text of this test method references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this test method.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Welcome to Naval War College, Newport, RI.
Berthing and Messing –
Both are normally available on base and utilization is directed unless berthing is full. You must contact Navy Gateway Inns and Suites (NGIS) directly to reserve lodging or to obtain a CERTIFICATE OF NON-AVAILABILITY (CNA) prior to arranging commercial lodging. NGIS number is (401)841-7900.
What is the per diem allowance? Per diem is paid at the Proportional Meal Rate (PMR) for all personnel on ADT orders residing in government quarters. Excluding lodging this is currently $39 per day. PMR IS NOT PAID on AT orders.
What are the uniform requirements? Uniform requirements vary widely based on the billet you fill. Normally students and those filling academic billets report in the uniform of the day, but are otherwise in civilian informal (business attire). You will need to contact the department you are working in to confirm the uniform. Others are generally in the uniform of the day for the duration of their orders. The uniform of the day is as follows:
Service Dress Blue (first Monday in October to first Monday in May)
Service Dress Whites (first Monday in May to first Monday in October)
Summer Whites (first Monday in May to first Monday in October)
Khakis are a year round uniform
E6 and below:
Navy Service Uniform (NSU) is a year round uniform
Security Personnel: Navy Working Uniform (NWU)
* Ensure you check current NAVADMINs for changes in uniform requirements/deadlines.
Is a security clearance required? While not all events require classified access, many do and the College generally requires a security clearance for all Operational Support Members. If we tell you a clearance is required, a clearance/visit request should be provided by your supporting NOSC at least one month prior to your visit or as directed by the OSO Security Clearance Coordinator.
Please Remember -
· NSIPS Dependency Data (required to be verified within 180 Days)
· If berthing on base unavailable, a CNA is required from the CBQ
· When checking into NWC, please let the OSO personnel know that you have a CNA so we can mark berthing not available when endorsing your orders.
· If you need advance pay you will have to make arrangements prior to coming to Newport. You will need to contact your NOSC to fill out the appropriate paperwork. We can NOT handle this for you.
