DCCT/EDIC : Glycemic control may decrease cardiovascular risk
2 comments:
- Roy M. Poses MD said...
[As I posted on MedRants....]
As best as I can tell, the article includes no data about survival rates in each group, and no data about possible adverse effects of tight control (e.g., hypoglycemic events and their consequences) at all.
If one assumes that the decreasing numbers in the groups from the start of the trial to year 11 found in Table 1 represent losses due to mortality, there appears to be no survival advantage from tight control. Given that there were fewer cardiac events in the tight control group, lack of survival advantage may be due to fatal hypoglycemic events in that group.
As I recall, the original DCCT trial showed a marked increase in hypoglycemic events in the tight control group, and thus it was not clear that the trade-off of less microvascular events due to tight control for more hypoglycemic events was favorable to patients.
In the absence of data about total mortality or about hypoglycemic events, this study does not convincingly argue for tight control as the best alternative for patients.
- james gaulte said...
Your points are well taken.There appeared to be no difference in the hemoglobin a1c values in the 11 year follow-up between the two groups suggesting any serious hypoglycemic episodes should have been about the same in each group but the absence of data to that point is a weakness of the study. There were significantly more hypoglycemic episodes in the intensive treatment group during the 6.5 years of the actual trial and part of the cost of decrease in microvascular complications was more hypoglycemia.I agree we should know about total mortality.

Sugar Cookies for Mother's Day | Flower Sugar Cookies for Mother's Day | Homemade Gifts
I'm not quite sure what kind of flower this is. I think it is a Pansy, Poppy & Violet combination.
Here is a link to my Sugar Cookie Recipe and Decorating Tips.
Our Mothers are far away, so the cookies needed to be mail proof.
I put each into a cellophane bag. I like cellophane bags that are crunchy - or stiff plastic. You can find them here :
Cello Bags.com
I wrapped the top with a violet satin ribbon. The bags will help to keep the cookies fresh and will protect the icing.
Top the package with grass to make it snug so there is not room for movement.

That has been my entire week. Since my first post about it here got a lot of responses, I figured I'd share everything I've been doing on it in one place. (Trigger warnings on pretty much all of it.)
But before I get to that incredibly depressing shit, please go watch Chris Rock going off on Polanski on Jay Leno last night. I was beginning to despair of ever seeing an actual big-name celeb I like join Team Child Rape Is Bad (see second Thursday post below). The clip is both painfully (and I mean that) funny and quite satisfying if you've been waiting like I have, though not perfect. In any case, it's ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
Reminder: Roman Polanski Raped a Child
Letters from Hollywood: Roman Polanski's Rape of Child No Big Thing
Sharon Tate's Sister: It Was A Consensual Matter
Peter Fonda and Roman Polanski on Rape vs. Murder
Lynchpin of Polanski Misconduct Case: I Lied
Are Anti-Polanski Celebs Afraid To Speak Up?
Oh, and Thursday was also the day I appeared on The Today Show to talk Polanski, because that's just how bananas shit had gotten by that point. (If you haven't seen it yet, don't get excited. They literally left in one sentence of my 15- or 20-minute interview.)
Speaking of shit being bananas, I was also on Nightline last night, though that was not Polanski-related. They finally aired a teeny part of an interview I did weeks ago (I got like two sentences in that one!), squished in among Crystal Renn, Brooke Elliott and headless fatty B-roll. Woohoo!
Polanski, "Hounddog" and 13-year-old voices (After Monday's post, this is probably the one I'm proudest of.)
And, finally, The best Polanski you might have missed this week — a round-up of other people's posts I loved this week, though it doesn't include two amazing ones by survivors: Lauren's at Feministe, and our own Tari's — which, if you read one Polanski post, should maybe be it.

Hi all,
We are quite happy to welcome our two newest admins, Blue and Davee123. As described in the FAQ, "The admins are in charge of modifying the site, helping facilitate putting up new content, running our major contests, and setting site policy." Blue and Dave are long time members of CC and the larger LEGO community, and they've played a big role here already - Blue as a mod for the last few years and Dave more behind the scenes helping out with coding the site for the CCC. Dave will probably continue to be more in the background, but he'll be helping out a lot with site design issues. Please join us in welcoming them them to the CC administration!
-The Admins
(Oh, before someone asks, their custom titles will be forthcoming after they decide what they want. Also, I know Dave's name isn't showing up in red yet - I have to figure out how to alter that in the forum administration settings.)

No Intervention: Control group (iVCT)
Male couples randomized to the control group (iVCT) will each receive individual HIV counseling and testing, separately.These couples in the control group (iVCT) will return every 6 months, up to 18 months, for individual visits, in which they will have STI testing and repeat HIV testing. All follow-up visits will be conducted separately.
Experimental: Experimental group (CVCTPLUS)
Male couples randomized to the experimental group (CVCTPLUS) will each receive HIV counseling and testing as a couple. These couple will return for two additional visits that members of the control arm do not get, for two one-hour sessions of the Partner-STEPS. Couples in the experimental group (CVCTPLUS) at 8 and 10 weeks after the initial enrollment. They will also return every 6 months, up to 18 months, for visits in which they will be seen as a couple, in which they will have STI testing and repeat HIV testing. All follow-up visits will be conducted for the couples together.
Behavioral: CVCTPLUS
For the intervention, couples will receive HIV testing and counseling together as a dyad, and some couples will receive ARV adherence counseling (Partner-STEPS) together as a dyad.
Other Names:
- Linkage to Care [ Time Frame: 18 months ]within three months after HIV diagnosis, having (1) at least one clinical care appointment, (2) at least one CD4 count test performed, and (3) at least one viral load test performed
- Retention in care [ Time Frame: 18 months ]within the past 12 months, having (1) at least two routine HIV care visits at least three months apart, (2) two or more CD4 tests, and (3) two or more viral load tests
- Viral suppression [ Time Frame: 18 months ]For each study visit we will extract viral load and CD4 counts from the positive participant's medical record. If there are multiple reports within 30 days of the study visit, we will use the count nearest in date to the study visit. If there is no report within 30 days of the study visit, this will be treated as missing data. In the case of the sero-conversion of a negative partner, we will also collect viral load and CD4 counts from the newly positive partner at each study visit. Viral suppression will be considered achieved if the medical records report a viral load below the level of detection for the site specific assay
- Decrease sexual risk-taking [ Time Frame: 18 months ]At each follow-up visit, each partner will be asked about unprotected anal intercourse that occurs within the partnership during the previous follow-up period.

Audubon warning about shorebirds
It's nesting season for shorebirds, and the Audubon Society is urging beachgoers to watch out for four species that are in a life-and-death struggle to endure in a world that has dramatically changed since their nesting behaviors were established long before the colonists arrived.
Piping plovers, least terns, common terns and American oystercatchers have begun nesting on beaches from Groton to Greenwich, but their success at fledging young depends on whether they'll be able to run a gauntlet of marauding raccoons, hungry foxes, bullying gulls and curious dogs. Norway rats, feral cats, crows, humans and even litter will likely take a toll as well.
"These little guys have lots of problems," said Milan Bull, senior director of science and conservation for the Connecticut Audubon Society, of the piping plover.
Patrick Comins, director of conservation for Audubon Connecticut, said that he's hoping to see an improvement over last year, when 60 piping plovers reached maturity on the Connecticut shoreline. So far this year, there are fewer than 30 piping plover nesting sites active along the state's shoreline, he said.
Nesting activity continues to about Labor Day.
"It's not that you can't go to the beach, it's just that you have to give them their space," Comins said. "As soon as they hatch, they're on their own, and for those 28 days before they can fly, they're pretty vulnerable."
Audubon is also concerned about the least tern, which has seen its numbers decline by about 80 percent since 1990.
"The least tern is just starting to nest," Comins said. "They congregate in just a few sites. They're very vulnerable to disturbance. Just someone walking their dog can really damage their productivity," he said. "There's a huge problem with people bringing dogs where they are not allowed -- Long Beach in Stratford, in particular. When you walk on the beach, stay below the wrack line" -- the line of debris pushed up by the tides.
Most of the piping plover nest sites are protected with cage-like exclosures designed to keep out foxes, rats and the like.
"The nests and their eggs are almost impossible to see, unless you know what to look for," he said.
He said that oystercatchers have also seen their numbers drop. These birds live on offshore islands, and are sometimes done in by people who paddle out to see them.
"The problem is that they love nature to death," he said of human visitors.
Comins said a number of species of migratory shorebirds have also seen a sharp decline in numbers.
Audubon volunteers will be keeping their eyes on known nest sites, telling visitors why it's important that they and their dogs stay clear of the nesting areas and explaining the federal laws designed to protect the birds. Most of the shorebird nesting sites have been marked off by state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection conservationists.
Among other places, the beach monitors will be at Connecticut Audubon Society's Milford Point Coastal Center, Long Beach in Stratford, Sandy and Morse points in West Haven, Griswold Point in Old Lyme and Bluff Point State Park in Groton.
"Plovers do very well with people on the beach," Bull said, "maybe because they frighten away foxes and raccoons."
Experts say that the shorebirds that nest here have done so since the retreat of the glaciers 10,000 years ago. Their nesting strategies worked well until humans arrived with rats, cats and dogs.
"They were actually doing pretty well until the 1920s," Bull said. "That's when development along the beach really ramped up."
He notes that raccoon attacks have increased, too, because raccoons are far more numerous among humans and their garbage cans than they are in the forest. The herring gull -- the most common gull around here -- also has done well among humans and their refuse.
"The gulls, at least some of them, have learned to attack shorebird eggs and chicks," he said.
To be sure, there has been a push-back from some in the shore community, upset with the acres of prime beach real estate taken over by these wild animals.
The debate got particularly heated in North Carolina along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, where people used to be able to operate off-road vehicles on the beach with impunity. Since 2008, that has been curtailed, thanks to the piping plover. But off-road operators have responded by harassing wildlife advocates, vandalizing their homes and engaging in other illegal behavior, according to a report in Forbes magazine.
Meanwhile, tourism on Cape Hatteras has increased because beachgoers no longer fear being run over by the vehicles, and the plovers are doing better, too.
"The important thing to remember is that humans can share the shore with shorebirds," Comins said. "They can only survive with intensive management to make up for the disadvantages that they have to deal with."

Consider what the history of immigration in Great Britain means for newcomers and the country's national identity today.
In Virginia in the 1620s, slavery and indentured servitude existed, but there were both white and black servants and slaves. No one was a slave for life; rather, many immigrants to North America agreed to work for a planter for a specific period of time in exchange for their passage to the New World and food and shelter once they arrived. In 1622, a black indentured servant named Anthony Johnson appeared in the historical record. Charles Johnson and Patricia Smith tell his story.

Over the years Japanese political leaders have issued a number of general apologies for the Imperial Army's conduct during World War II. Despite these apologies, the Chinese people and Sino-Japanese relations have yet to be fully normalized, and tensions remain. Often the criticisms revolve around the actual language used by Japanese public figures to acknowledge the destruction and terror waged on behalf of their nation during World War II. What weight do different terms carry under such important circumstances? Are there different levels of responsibility expressed in using terms such as remorse versus apology?

TAMPA--As a reporter, it is my job to be skeptical of messages like "the Phillies have one of the best clubhouses in baseball, and many players want to play for the team." It's not that I'm supposed to be overly negative about something like that; I just have to make sure that it isn't mere spin, repeated so many times that it begins to feel like truth.
In the past week, I've had the chance to touch base with Cliff Lee and Chan Ho Park, two short-term visitors to the Philly area--and two guys who seem to wish they were in Clearwater this month. Both pitched well in 2009, and both hoped to return this season. Lee, of course, was part of the Halladay mega-deal. Park was, in Brad Lidge's estimation, "the MVP of our bullpen" last season, but the team did not re-sign him.
After failing to reach an agreement with agent Jeff Borris in December, the Phils moved on to sign Danys Baez and Jose Contreras instead. It was a gamble for the team, swapping a known quantity for two players yet to succeed in Philadelphia. And for Park, like Lee, it was extremely disappointing. The more you see former Phillies shake their heads, shrug, and say how much they loved it in that clubhouse, the more real the Phils current reputation seems.

Park was no exception. Standing in the locker room of the defending champs, dressed in the iconic pinstripes, Park made clear that he regretted leaving Philadelphia.
He began by saying the right things about becoming a Yankee. "They have the most history, and they are popular in the world, even in Korea," Park said. "When I grew up, they were a symbol--New York. Yankees."
But he spent most of his time yesterday talking about an off-season he called "frustrating."
"I had a wish after the season," he said. "Philadelphia was the no. 1 choice. I had a tough time leaving there. I had much support from fans and community, and I had the best teammates there, so..."
Well, he was asked, why didn't it work out with the Phils?
"Too late. Too late. Too late. It didn't work well in the beginning, and later on, too late," he said.
Basically, Park orginally expected a raise from the Phils, feeling that a strong performance had earned him more than the $2.5 million he made in 2009. His agents negotiated with Amaro through mid-December, and then the Phils decided to move on. Park was shocked.
"They were talking, and it didn't work," he said. "Trying to get a deal, and it didn't work out, and then later on they just gave up, and I lost."
He eventually signed for one year, $1.2 million to become a Yankees reliever. Park said that while he still preferred starting--and claimed to have drawn interest as a starter from several teams, though he declined to name those teams--he was more comfortable in the relief role than ever before.
"I knew a lot of teams were going to expect more" from him as a reliever, Park said. I" had success in the bullpen last year and the year before."
Park also addressed the criticism leveled by Charlie Manuel this winter. In complimenting Baez and Contreras as pitchers who would never refuse to take the ball, even if injured, Manuel was clearly taking a shot at Park. It is likely that Manuel's view of Park as a victim of frequent minor injuries contributed to the Phils lack of aggressiveness in pursuing the pitcher.
"I was disappointed in what he said," said Park. "That's what he thinks, but I don't think it has any meaning. He still is my favorite manager. I didn't talk to him, and I didn't believe it (when he first heard about the comments). But who cares? He's still my favorite manager. The whole team; they're the best. That's why it's so difficult to leave. The fans, especially the fans. They're the best.
"(It is) mostly sad...to leave Philadelphia. I had fun last year. Good memories and things. That makes me sad, but in the future (I'm on) a good team, and we have a chance to win. That's what's most important."

Have Your Baby or Child Items Been Recalled for Safety Reasons?
Have Your Baby or Child Items Been Recalled for Safety Reasons?Find out about Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls on infant and child products
The Babies"R"Us second Great Trade-In Event, the first was in August/September 2009, gives parents the opportunity to get a 25% discount on replacing several types of baby items - cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, playards, toddler beds or high chairs – that may no longer be safe for your child.
You just take your products into your local Babies"R"Us or Toys"R"Us store and purchase new ones from participating manufacturers at the discounted price. Your products don't have to have been recalled, and you don't have to provide proof that your product is faulty.
However, there are probably millions of parents out there who are unaware of the fact that items they're using may have been recalled.
How can you find out if a baby or child's product you're using is potentially dangerous? The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a comprehensive list of infant and child product recalls that provides all the details of each recall, including what to do about replacing the faulty items or parts.
Unfortunately, crib mattresses are not included in the types of items that can be traded in, but if you're looking for information on what makes a crib mattress safe, you can find it on our site.

Crew onboard Fiji Princess
Our all Fijian crew
Spend time with Fijian people... it just makes sense when you're cruising in Fiji!
One of the most memorable features of a Blue Lagoon Cruise is the friendly service and attention provided by the crew. All our crew, from the Captain to the stewards are Fijian, many coming from the island villages that we visit.
Fiji's people are renowned for great hospitality, friendly smiles, lots of time for laughter and most of all, the ability to make the most of 'Fiji Time', which pretty much means 'relax, unwind and enjoy the slower pace of life.' All this is in abundance on a Blue Lagoon Cruise and with our 100% Fijian crew, it really is an authentic Fijian experience.
Our Officers have a minimum of 5 years experience and our Captains have navigated the Fiji waters for 15-25 years. The Cruise Directors are trained to make your experience in Fiji memorable and are wonderful at organizing activities and setting the social, friendly atmosphere.
Limited number of passengers on board means every guest is a friend. The crew are eager to share their extensive knowledge and make your small ship experience a personal one.
Cultural Experiences
Cultural Experiences on Fiji Princess
The Yasawa Islands are home to 27 remote villages. The villagers live a traditional way of life, and welcome Blue Lagoon passengers into their community to introduce you to their captivating and colourful culture. Yasawan villagers still practice traditional culture, dance, singing and ceremonies.
This heart-warming experience offers a great insight into the lives of the Yasawa people and includes a brief overview of the history of the village, followed by a traditional 'Yaqona Ceremony'. After the ceremony is Kava tasting as well as a 'Meke' (dancing and singing performance from the villagers).
Blue Lagoon passengers are invited to partake in the 'Fiji Shuffle' or the 'One step forward two steps back'. It always ends in lots of laughs! You'll also have the chance to purchase exotic souvenirs from the village shell market
Spa on Fiji Princess
Senikai Spa is Blue Lagoon Cruises on board pampering service! You can enjoy your massage on Fiji Princess or on the beach under a coconut tree. Bliss!
Helping the Locals
Supporting the Locals with Blue Lagoon
Many of our passengers fall in love with the friendly nature of Fijians and are especially taken with the wide-eyed curiosity of the children. The villagers do not expect gifts from our passengers, but many of our passengers ask us what items they can bring to give away to village children. School supplies (pens, pencils, crayons, drawing/colouring books, notepads and the like) are always most welcome as are sports items such as rugby and soccer balls. Items of clothing are also well received.

UR Prepared:
Personal Emergency Preparedness Guidelines
Emergencies and natural or man-made disasters occur daily in our world, often without warning. Emergencies can strike anywhere at anytime. This UR Prepared webpage is intended to provide our community with general planning tips and suggestions on how to prepare for an emergency along with suggestions to help get through the crisis. When planning for a disaster you should anticipate being self sufficient for 4 days. It is recommended that you designate two places for family members to meet, one in your neighborhood and one outside your community. Also, identify an out-of-state friend or relative where all family members can call if separated. You are encouraged to know your child's school or daycare emergency plans. You should assemble a readily accessible and portable emergency supply kit so if authorities order an evacuation you will be ready to go.
Basic Supply Kit Content Recommendations
- Battery-powered Radio — Radio reports will give you the information about the event and directions from the authorities
- Cash, travelers' checks, change and copies of credit and ATM cards
- Copies of important documents such as insurance, wills, birth and marriage certificates, passports, deeds, phone numbers, etc, and place them in a waterproof container.
- Extra clothing and blankets
- Extra set of car and house keys
- First Aid Supply — A standard prepackage first aid kit should be fine. Go to the Red Cross web site if you are looking for specific supplies. http://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/0,1082,0_217_,00.html
- Flashlight and Extra Batteries— Never use candles or other open flames for emergency lighting
- Food — Enough non-perishable food to sustain you and your family members for 4 days. Select foods that do not require refrigeration, preparation, cooking or water. Suggestions include (Canned juices, granola bars, energy bars, etc). Food from your freezer that still has ice crystals in their centers is safe to eat.
- Local and regional road maps — Don't count on your GPS working
- Matches in a waterproof container
- Medications — Include prescription (with dosing and prescribing physicians name) and non-prescription
- Water — Figure 1 gallon per person per day
- Whistle
- Additional Supplies
- Paper plates, cups and utensils
- Non-electric can opener
- Personal hygiene items, including toothbrush, toothpaste, denture needs, comb, brush, soap, contact lens supplies, extra eyeglasses, feminine supplies, and household chlorine bleach
- Plastic garbage bags with ties
- One complete change of clothes
- Games, cards, books, portable music devices
- Any family members special needs
- Baby Care Supplies if needed (Bottles, Diapers, Formula, Pacifiers)
It may become necessary to leave your home. The government will issue an evacuation order and will use TV, radio or emergency services personal to get the message out. It's import to preplan with family and friends who live outside the area to make arrangements should you ever have to evacuate. For those who have no alternative place to stay, the Red Cross will make disaster shelters available. If you do have to evacuate follow these simple steps.
- Close and lock all doors and windows
- Unplug appliances
- Wear sturdy comfortable shoes and clothing
- Take your Basic Supply Kit
Animal/Pet Care
Our pets enrich our lives. They depend on us for their safety and well-being. The best way to protect your family pets from the effects of a disaster is to have a plan for their welfare. Being prepared can save their lives. The most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to take them with you in any kind of emergency situation. Pets left behind can become lost, injured or worse.
Make a Portable Pet Supplies Kit:
- Keep items in an accessible place and store them in sturdy waterproof containers that can easily be carried. Your pets supply kit should include:
- Medications, including medical records (keep extra medications for your pet)
- Food (at least enough for 3-7 days) should rotate every 2 months
- Water (at least enough for 3-7 days)
- First aid kit which should include cotton bandage rolls, bandage tape, scissors, antibiotic ointment, flea and tick prevention, latex gloves, isopropyl alcohol, and saline solution. Consult with your veterinarian about what is appropriate for your pets' emergency needs. Include a pet first aid reference book.
- Pet beds and toys should be packed if possible to reduce as much stress as you can.
- Other items you could include such as: newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags, grooming items and household bleach.
Your pet should wear collar with ID tags including a rabies tag at all times. Having an ID microchip placed in your pet and including your pet on the national registry is another way to find your pet in case your pet is lost without his collar or tags. Include an extra leash and collar, as well as photos of your pets, copies of your pet's registration records, adoption papers, vaccination records and medical records.
Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to place them in foster care.
Have a Safe Place to Take Your Pets in an Emergency:
Because of states' health and safety regulations, service animals that assist people with disabilities are the only animals allowed in human evacuation shelters. Do not wait until a disaster strikes before you make a plan. You can do the following to ensure the safety of your pets in an emergency.
Contact area hotels and motels outside of the immediate area. Check on their policies for accepting pets and restrictions on number, size, and species. Find out if the "no pet" policy will be waived in a disaster. If you know about an impending disaster, call the hotels and motels ahead of time and make reservations.
Contact friends, relatives or others outside of the affected area that could care for and shelter your pets. Prepare a list of veterinarians and boarding facilities that could shelter your animals in an emergency.
Contact local area animal shelters to see if they may provide emergency shelter or foster care in a disaster. This should be used as a last resort, animal shelters often become overwhelmed with abandoned animals in disasters.
Pocket Pets:
Small mammals (gerbils, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc.) should be transported in a secure carrier suitable for maintaining the animals while being sheltered. Supplies needed to maintain the animal should be packed, such as bedding, food bowls, water bowls and food. Small pocket pets overheat quickly, be prepared to offer fresh air at temperatures greater than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Label the transport carrier with the type of pocket pet and your name, address and all phone numbers.
Reptiles and Amphibians:
For lizards and amphibians, follow the same instructions as for birds. Snakes can be transported in a pillowcase; they will need to be transferred into secure housing when you reach your destination. If they require frequent feedings, you will need to pack whatever food is necessary. A bowl large enough to soak the reptile and a heating pad is also necessary. Label the carrier or transport bag with the type of reptile or amphibian with your name, address and all phone numbers.
Caring for a Bird in an Emergency:
Birds need to be transported in a transport carrier. Label the carrier with your name, address and all phone numbers. If it is cold you need to wrap the carrier with a blanket, and warm up the car before you put the bird in it. In warm weather carry a spray bottle with you and periodically mist the bird's feathers. Do not place water in the carrier during transport. Line the carrier with paper towels and change them frequently. Provide some fruit and vegetables as a water source. Keep the carrier in a quiet area if possible. Keep the doors to the carrier closed so the bird cannot get out.

Angioplasty (also called percutaneous
transluminal angioplasty, or PTA) is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube
called a catheter is inserted through an artery and guided to the place where
the artery is narrowed.
When the tube reaches the narrowed
artery, a small balloon at the end of the tube inflates for a short time. The pressure from the inflated balloon presses the fat and calcium
(plaque) against the wall of the artery to improve blood flow.
angioplasty of the aorta (the major abdominal artery) or the iliac arteries
(which branch off from the aorta), a small, expandable tube called a
stent is usually put in place at the same time.
Reclosure (restenosis) of the artery is less likely to occur if a stent is
used. Stents are less commonly used in angioplasty of
smaller leg arteries like the femoral, popliteal, or tibial arteries, because they are subject to trauma
and damage in these locations.
After the procedure, you will rest in
bed for 6 to 8 hours. You may have to stay overnight in the hospital. After
you leave the hospital, you can most likely return to normal activities.
This procedure is commonly used to
open narrowed arteries that supply blood flow to the heart. It may be used on
short sections of narrowed arteries in people who have
peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Angioplasty can help you walk farther without leg pain than you did before the procedure.1
How well angioplasty works depends on the
size of the blood vessel, the length of blood vessel affected, and whether the
blood vessel is completely blocked. In general:
In general, angioplasty works best in the following types
of arteries:
Complications related to the catheter include:
Serious complications are
rare. These complications may
There is always a slight risk of damage to cells or tissues
from being exposed to any radiation, including the low levels of X-ray used for
this test. But the risk of damage from the X-rays is usually very low
compared with the potential benefits of the test.
In some cases, bypass
surgery may be the best treatment choice. This treatment choice depends on your
risks with the procedure, the size of the arteries, and the number and length
of the blockages or narrowing in the arteries.
Angioplasty may be a less
expensive, safer alternative to surgery in certain cases.

Three go to China: De Bethune, HAUTLENCE and Celsius X VI II
Three well respected Swiss brands that each share a passion for innovation, creation and quality, HAUTLENCE, De Bethune and Celsius X VI II, decided rather than exhibiting in China individually it would make more sense to join forces and stage three high profile events in Beijing and Chengdu which took place from April 23rd to 28th 2012.
The three independent brands met Chinese VIPs and Press at the China Auto Show in Beijing, the most important car show in China.
Following this high-profile exhibition, two private events took place in the fast developing city of Chengdu. 60 carefully selected collectors attended interactive dinners where Pierre Jacques, CEO of De Bethune, Edouard Meylan, CEO of Celsius X VI II and Bertrand Meylan, General Manager of HAUTLENCE Asia presented their brands and shared their passion with the collectors through different forums and workshops. The audience was captivated by the mechanical marvels and unique visions that were presented.
About the three brands
De Bethune was winner of the "Aiguille d'Or" Geneva Grand Prix 2011, the supreme award honouring the best timepiece of the year for the DB28 model. De Bethune presented two limited editions of this iconic model. Celebrating the brand's tenth anniversary, Pierre Jacques also took this opportunity to introduce and share both the technical and artistic aspects of De Bethune's innovations, including their specifically mechanical and horological features.
HAUTLENCE was founded in 2004 named after one of the cradles of watchmaking. Instilling a new dynamic into the art of watchmaking, HAUTLENCE presented its in-house masterpiece the HL2.1 (half-trailing hours and retrograde minutes) and the new HLQ Classic collection equipped with an in-house jumping hour and retrograde minute calibre.
Celsius X VI II is a cutting edge pioneer brand creating complex mechanical pieces of art. Celsius took the opportunity to present its first mechanical mobile phone: LeDIX. Three versions were on view at these events, including a unique Diamond variation and the first mobile phone made from carbon fibre. Each piece takes six months to produce and features more than 600 mechanical parts.
The decision to tour China together was a tremendous success for all three brands. It gave HAUTLENCE, De Bethune and Celsius X VI II the chance to build awareness while sharing their passion with a receptive crowd. Future similar joint road shows are already being planned.

Aus 131 Designs von 23 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Our school is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. We need a special t-shirt design to commemorate the milestone.
Red Dragon Martial Arts Center
We are a family martial arts school celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. We would like a special t-shirt designed to commemorate the anniversary.
The design should incorporate our logo (http://www.rdmartialarts.com/rdmalogo.jpeg). It should have our url (http://www.rdkarate.com) and it should mention the 10th anniversary (1999-2009). If possible, it would be nice if the two cities where we are located could be part of the design (Jefferson City and Morristown TN.) Our motto/tagline is "Empowering Lives Through Martial Arts"
The company that screens our shirts has ancient equipment, so the design for front and back can be no larger than 10 inches square for each. It should also be no more than 4 colors (ideally we would like 3 colors to keep cost down.)
Design should show well on a wide variety of t-shirt colors, both light and dark.

15 Ways Average Person Can Overcome Increasing And Overwhelming Debt
Before sharing these recommendations, I suggest that you have a way of tracking your expenses. This will give you a clear picture of what you spend daily, weekly and/or monthly and aid you in reducing expenses where needed.
1) Accept the fact you are in debt and forgive yourself. If you are in denial, you are more likely to repeat the pattern.
2) Reduce monthly expenditures. For example, once the price of gas increased, our monthly gas costs went from roughly $200 to approximately $450- 500.00. In an effort to reduce our gas costs, I stopped taking miniature trips every day. Also, my husband would drive my car on the weekends because it costs less in gas.
3) If you're a person that makes several trips to the grocery store during the month, reduce the number of trips to once a month except for fresh vegetables. This will reduce the number of times you have to put gas in the car. Today, it costs more just to leave the house to get groceries as well as going to work.
4) With the increasing utility bill, begin making repairs to your home now such as getting a programmable thermostat and set it to a certain temperature so that it will automatically come on.
5) As an option, temporarily get a second job for supplemental income. If married, this should be the person that has the ability to generate the most income. I do not recommend any Multi-level Marketing opportunities.
6) For a single person in debt – if you are off on weekends, temporarily get a weekend job and put those funds towards the bills along with your regular income.
7) If you have a cell phone and a regular phone that both have long distance, re-evaluate having both phones. It can get expensive to have both with long distance. Maybe you can remove the regular phone and just use your cell phone if most people call you on that number.
8. If you are a stay at home mom, in my opinion the kids should not be going to daycare. This is an unnecessary expense.
9) Be sensible about your expenditures when it comes to your children. For example, a six month old baby does not need name brand clothing. They need to be clothed. Suggest getting into 'mommy group' where you and your friends can swap clothing based on gender and age. I have a couple of moms that I swap clothes with and this saves all of us from having to shop at the store.
10) Grooming expenses for adults: do you really need to get your nails done every week? Could you put that money towards a bill? If you are getting your hair done whether it is a weave, perm, braids or tinting every week – do you need to go to a high end salon or could you go Great Clips for the same thing? I am not saying do not pamper yourself; however, as times get tougher what is the necessity?
11) Maintaining your vehicle is a necessity, but going to a car wash every week is not. You can wash your car at home. Re-evaluate how you are spending your money.
12) If you are a person that likes to go out to eat, reduce the amount of times per month you go out to eat. Begin cooking at home since you are buying groceries for the month.
13) Entertainment – whether it is going to the movies, bars or happy hour – these expenses add up. For example going to a matinee is $7.50 a person (for the two of us is $15.00 before we even get food, which would cost us another $15.00) do you really need to see the movie now or could you wait three months and see it on DVD. Netflix is an option.
14) Add up how much you spend at a vending machine per week when you are at work if you work outside the home. Consider taking snacks from home.
15) Health insurance – if you had a job and are using COBRA for health insurance until you have secured another job, seek an alternative health insurance to the COBRA payments. I remember when I first stopped working at the law firm, we utilized COBRA for almost eighteen months and the price increased two times. Prior to the second increase, I located a shared insurance plan and saved us lots of money.
** There has to be some structure during these difficult economical times. However, these times do not have to be so hard that you cannot enjoy life.

Joining us is Ari Takanen, founder and CTO of security testing firm Codenomicon.
DDJ: Ari, what's "model-based fuzzing" and why is it important?
AT: Model-based fuzzing has many names. Fuzzing itself refers to a security testing approach where random or semi-random inputs are sent to software in attempt to crash it. The term itself was coined by Dr. Miller in the early 1990s to describe his command-line fuzzer, which was used to test various commands in different operating systems. Most random-based fuzzers generate tests based on a flat and simple template, such as an audio file or a basic web (HTTP) request.
In model-based security testing, also known as grammar or syntax testing, the inputs to the software are modeled using context-free languages, which can describe complex protocols, such as encryption sequences for setting up SSL or TLS sessions. The syntax testing approach was probably first described by Dr. Boris Beizer in 1990, in his book, Software Testing Techniques. Today, for security testing purposes, the models used in syntax testing are augmented with intelligent and optimized anomalies that will trigger the vulnerabilities in code.
Model-based fuzzing is a rather confusing term as it mixes up the systematic approach of model-based testing and randomness as indicated by the term fuzzing. Since 1998, Codenomicon has referred to this approach as "robustness testing," because the term fuzzing still indicates ad-hoc and random tests. Randomness in testing is always a bad idea and would do a huge disservice to the industry. The term "robustness testing" has been picked up in the quality assurance domain. But the term "fuzzing" has stuck to being used by the security testers and that is difficult to change.
DDJ: Positive testing and Negative testing. What are they and what do they have to do with software?
AT: In traditional positive testing, test cases are built from positive requirements, resulting in test cases where you try valid inputs to validate the correctness of the functionality. Examples of positive testing include conformance tests and performance tests. For example, the tests can attempt to login into a service using a correct user name and password and for the performance assessment can run multiple test sequences in parallel.
In negative testing, each use case or requirement is reversed into infinite amount of tests trying out all unexpected inputs that the software can take. Examples of security tests include trying out long strings for the user name and password, tests for format string vulnerabilities (%s) and dictionary, or brute force tests to guess the correct password. Fuzzing in all forms is negative testing in the sense that you cannot define the test with a positive requirement. A negative requirement almost always includes the words "SHOULD NOT" or "MUST NOT," such as "it should not be possible to login with a bad password." Testing for a negative requirement requires skill from the tester to define the inputs that he will use to validate the requirement. Typically, these tests are either ad-hoc, or executed using predefined test suites, or conducted with commercial fuzzing tools.
DDJ: In terms of wireless communication, what currently makes security experts nervous?
AT: Wireless networks are always open, and it is very difficult to locate the attacker if he chooses to fuzz a wireless network. The fuzz test cases often take place before any authentication is performed or below the IP layer, and are therefore invisible to detection tools that only look at the application protocols in the communications. The attacker is almost always completely anonymous. Wireless attacks can also come from long distances. For example, attack tools have been demonstrated where Bluetooth devices are attacked several miles away from the target system, even though the wireless connection has been designed for short distances. A security problem in a wireless device can result in total corruption or crash of the system, but tailored active attacks, such as worms or viruses, are not impossible either.
DDJ: Is there a web site that readers can go to for more information on these topics?
AT: Yes, they can start with Codenomicon's Buzz on Fuzz page.

Photographer's Note
This is another picture from our recent trip on the Hurtigruten into the polar waters of Northern Norway. Having spent some time exploring the town on foot we returned to the ship and watched activity on the dock from the deck. Whatever time of day or night the Hurtigruten ships very efficiently dock, unload, load and cast off on time. Time in dock can vary between 15 minutes and several hours. Further information regarding the 'coastal express' can be found in my previous posts.
Hammerfest claims to be the most northernmost town in the world although there are smaller settlements further north.

Hi Ann,a very original pic from your trip on the nord,an essential composition made by tis diagonal so well exposed to take the best white and the snowflakes with the best detail too,very well done! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano
tyro (29036) 2014-04-25 2:42
Hello Ann,
Oooh, this one is just a bit scary for me what with my acrophobia (not vertigo, to be correct) - just how easy would it be for that fellow squatting down on the slippery snow, pulling on a heavy hawser, to end up sliding into the icy water below?
That aside, this is a fabulously taken shot with wonderfully simple and striking composition. Two huge contrasting triangles - the white snow and the dark sea - splitting the frame diagonally and with the only real colours being in the man and the ropes which lead to him from the bottom left corner. And with the main subjects selectively lit by a shaft of sunlight, also running diagonally across the frame.
Gorgeous light and colours, perfect exposure and exquisite details and sharpness.
Kind Regards,
P.S. Sorry I've not been too active over the past few days here - still reeling from having won the annual nature competition trophy at the camera club - largely due to my red squrrel picture which got a 20/20! :o)
rbassin (27464) 2014-04-25 4:01
bonjour Ann
C'est une trčs belle composition, bien cadrée avec la séparation par la diagonale.
La scčne avec ses détails, est intéressante; la couleur jaune donne un bel éclat ŕ l'ensemble.
Bonne journée
timecapturer (49288) 2014-04-25 5:14
Hi Ann
like your originality and use of the diagonal to create something both fascinating and compelling. Wonderful use of the light and yellows to add that little something brighter than the snow as way of contrast. Works superbly. Well done!
Have a good weekend - B.
holmertz (86031) 2014-04-25 8:31
Hello Ann,
I like this clever and attractive omposition very much. You managed a perfect diagonal between the corners, dividing the picture in a black and a white half with fine colours and human presence between them. I an very impressed by the superb simplicity of this photo.
Kind regards,
Romano46 (18472) 2014-04-25 9:31
Ciao Ann
l'Hurtigruten č un mito e fare un viaggio su di essa č il sogni di molti, tanto piů affascinante se fatto in una stagione nella quale il freddo e la neve sono presenti nella regione e ai colori giŕ brillanti del paesaggio si uniscono quelli tipici della stagione invernale.
Non stupisce quindi che tu abbia potuto cogliere delle immagini particolarmente belle e insolite quale questa ultima che proponi nella quale il candore della neve si contrappone al colore grigio e gelido delle acque costiere permettendoti di creare una composizione semplice ed efficace nella quale la presenza dell'uomo concorre ad animare una scena giŕ bella.
La ripresa č impeccabile: la neve bianca come deve essere e la nitidezza di altissimo livello permette di apprezzare in ogni dettaglio questa bella fotografia.
Ciao e buon fine settimana

Hello Ann,
Excellent composition ! I really like the square format, divided in two equal parts : water and dock. The yellow man and the yellow rope are perfectly placed (i love how the rope underlines the diagonal.
Good job !
jjcordier (79299) 2014-04-25 22:33

Hello Ann, Excellent composition wuth the diagonal. In thumbnail I supposed the man is climbing. Striking shot with very nice colours. It must have been wonderful trip.
have a great weekend.
Kamilutka (8107) 2014-04-25 23:56
Hello Ann,
I really like the POV you chose for this scene - it created quite original result. The snow covered shore divides the composition at interesting angle and proportion and the yellow rope enhances the split. The man working at the end of it adds not only strong human element to the image but also thanks to his bright clothes contrasts very much with the white background.
Great idea for capturing this scene and very well executed.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day
ktanska (37243) 2014-04-26 0:59
Hi Ann,
I think you got perfect colours on this. Yellow safety clothing and rope. And strong contrast between snow and dark water. Diagonal from bottom left to top right makes a strong composition. And high viewpoint adds to originality too.
Hello Ann
it was not cold enough in England! A very good picture with the general diagonal separating the snow in the shadow and the water just lighted, undelined by the yellow rope leading to the man in the same color.
We can guess it was still snowing.
Have a good WE
abmdsudi (84061) 2014-04-26 9:51
Hi Ann
I like the way how you put simple elements together creating superb composition and strong diagonal with graphism value. The contrast in colour and shapes is so eye catching! You saw this well, it would have been so easy to walk past and a few steps either way and this would not have worked, you have a good eye. Nice shot, I like it!! Congrats
Best regards

this is a superb composition with a really effective use of the diagonal. The details of the snow brought out superbly with the ropes and the brightly dressed sailor (?) providing excellent colours.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful picture.
Have a great new week ahead.

Hi Ann
Interesting, less serene, image of harsh daily life in Norway. I like the composition along the yellow diagonal line. The snowflakes in the darker half and the footprints on the right provide eye-catching detail.
Best wishes
Royaldevon (66991) 2014-05-01 0:56
Hello Ann,
Sorry, I missed this, but am so glad that I delved into the archives. It is a splendid shot for its excellent crisp details and its fine diagonal composition. There is no doubt about the wintery conditions!!
I love how the only colours in the shot link so well and, of course, the focal person is so strongly placed.
Have a great day,
Bev :-)
RhodieIke (11752) 2014-05-01 22:22
Morning Ann,
My goodness that looks a dangerous job, one slip on the ice and snow and you are in that cold sea.
Splendid Pov, the bright yellow ropes of the boat and his florescent jacket stand out well. Boy do's it look cold!
Well done,
Cheers, Iain.
photoray (13981) 2014-05-02 7:09
Howdy Ann,
From the thumbnail view I thought this was a steep mountain slope, and was pleasantly surprised to view the snowy dock and cast off rope instead.
Thanks for sharing,
willperrett (13655) 2014-05-03 2:20
Hello Ann
Better late than never! I agree with everything that John has said (apart from winning a competition!) For me it's the tight composition and the slash of colour across an otherwise monochrome frame that makes this so effective. Good work.
mesutilgim (117718) 2014-05-03 23:57
Hello Ann,
I missed this nice capture in your gallery. Perfect pov and very good pictorial geometry.
A good sample, how a good photographers eye can see everywhere a "photogenic" theme !
TFS and have a nice weeekend
Glint (6171) 2014-05-06 3:34
Hello Ann,
I like the simplicity of the shot, its graphic quality. The strong diagonal line and the yellow, white and grey are a good combo. I also enjoy the parallel lines of rope, pipe and footprints as well as the man being well placed in the frame.
carlo62 (81157) 2014-05-16 15:24
Ciao Ann
bellissima diagonale, sottolineata dalle linee gialle e dall'uomo dello stesso colore.
Gran bello scatto.
fotka (6781) 2014-05-23 4:46
Hi Ann,
I love the composition that cut the photo diagonally. Great daily life shot of docking the boat. Well done with good colors, light and sharpness.

In order to make Cuba's capital city Havana gleam in renewed splendor, many magnificent buildings are being built.
Players can get Pesos or building materials, hire workers, bring the architect into play, collect taxes, send out thieves, hinder the construction of buildings or simply have a siesta while being protected by their body guard.
Havana stands out due to its minimal rules and its ingeniously simple mechanism that calls for different approaches each time you play. It is equally important to use intuition and rapidly find new strategies as it is to carefully plan ahead. No two games are alike, and in the end, exact timing will determine victory or defeat!

As with the mechanical parts, the rear derailleur represents the pride and joy of the EPS project and encompasses a series of technologies and innovations that allow shifting speed to be optimised and guarantee unprecedented precision, even in the case of multiple shifting with 11 sprockets at a time.
The EPS rear derailleur is comprised mainly of a mechanical structure, derived from the mechanical gear and composed of a derailleur rod/parallelogram/derailleur cage, of a worm screw enabled by an electronic actuator.
As with the derailleur, the electronic rear derailleur actuator is composed of a gear motor and a sensor, the built-in resolver, that reads its movements. The geometry of the parallelogram has been made more rigid and optimised to promote interaction with the electronic parts.
The lower and upper bodies, the parallelogram and the carbon derailleur cage are moved by a screw system and lead worm screw (not a spring screw) which, in turn, is enabled by the electronic actuator that communicates with the DTI. The built-in resolver inside the actuator is capable of reading the movements of the rear derailleur at any time and optimising its position by communicating with the DTI (Digital Tech Intelligence).
The rear derailleur is also equipped with a play recovery system using a helicoidal spring that optimises stability and precision and keeps operation and performance constant over time, even after many kms have been covered.
As with the mechanical rear derailleur, it is possible to optimise its position with respect to the frame and chain by acting on two adjusting screws: the screw that adjusts the mechanical end stop and the screw that adjusts the distance between the upper pulley and sprockets. By using these screws it is possible to optimise the installation of the rear derailleur and increase the precision of its operation.

Aged Lankaaster was named Grand Champion in the variety cheese competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair this week, continuing a streak of awards won by Eastern Ontario's Glengarry Fine Cheese.
Cendre de Lune made by Quebec cheesemaker La Fromagerie du Village 1860 was named Reserve Champion.
Despite multiple entries from large cheese producers such as Saputo and Agropur, Quality Cheese of Vaughan, Ontario, collected the most first-place ribbons—four in all—with Zerto Fresh Mozzarella, Ricotta, Borgonzola and Burrata.
Perhaps as an indication of things to come, a new artisan cheesemaker, Primeridge Pure of Markdale, Ontario, won a second and a third with Grey Rush, a creamy dessert cheese.
The Grand Champion, Aged Lankaaster, is matured to a minimum of 10 months. Margaret Peters-Morris tells CheeseLover.ca. The cheese entered in the competition was made in June, 2010, therefore, it was 16 months mature.
Aged Lankaaster is a firm cheese, traditional rind, characteristic gouda "eyes" present, paste is dark, laden with crystals, with lovely butterscotch, pineapple and lactic notes, the veteran cheesemakers says. This cheese lingers in one's mouth and is very suitable to use as cheese to make any "gratin" in culinary preparations.
