Sleep apnoea and delayed fracture healing

Editor, – I refer to the article on sleep studies (Aust Prescr 1998;21:40-3). One of my patients is a 40-year-old man with diagnosed sleep apnoea, but on no treatment. He has an undisplaced distal radial fracture involving the joint surface, diagnosed on bone scan. He had symptoms 12 months post-fracture and a positive bone scan 6 months post-injury. I understand that a bone scan can remain positive for some time post-fracture and is often a sign of healing. However, if his continuing symptoms are attributable to delayed healing, is sleep apnoea implicated and, as a follow-on, would treatment of the sleep apnoea assist the recovery?
J. Azoury
General Practitioner
Queanbeyan, N.S.W.
Dr A.M. Southcott, the author of the article, comments:
Dr Azoury raises a very interesting question about sleep apnoea and delayed fracture healing. Whilst I was unable to find any direct references linking these two topics, there are some tantalising pieces of information which could lead one to speculate on such a relationship. The first is the anabolic response induced by growth hormone release from the pituitary gland, and the beneficial effects of growth hormone administration in patients after surgery and trauma.1 The second is the increasing awareness of the metabolic aspects of sleep apnoea. In patients with severe sleep apnoea, levels of insulin-like growth factor-1,a biological marker of growth hormone secretion, are reduced as are nocturnal levels of growth hormone.2 Some patients with severe sleep apnoea have levels similar to patients with growth hormone deficiency which may have effects on bone and mineral metabolism and body composition. It is thought that repetitive arousal due to sleep apnoea may impair the growth hormone response to endogenous bursts of growth hormone releasing hormone. Treatment of severe sleep apnoea results in increased secretion of growth hormone3 and an increase in insulin-like growth factor-1 levels.4
It would be possible to speculate that in untreated severe sleep apnoea, fracture healing may be compromised due to a relative deficiency of growth hormone. As mentioned above, to my knowledge this has not been proven.

We did consider defaulting to streaming on, but there is still a small percentage of users that for one reason or another don't get on with it. Normally down to dodgy WiFi, broadband, PC, internet security software etc, but it's much safer to just default to polling. It just works and they can migrate up to streaming once they are more confident with the software.

How did you manage to get the restriction lifted? I answered to those 6 questions too, that they ask when people contact BDP about the restriction, but they didn't lift the restriction for me. What did you say/do, to achieve that? Did they lift the restriction for you, without you placing bets after the restriction? Did you place bets before the restriction?Wolf1877 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 12:36 pmAs an update I managed to plead my case successfully on this occasion thankfully. I received the following message from BDP Support which I am posting to serve as a warning to others and for review by Bet Angel HQ.
"The market data delay has now been removed from your account. Please be aware however that live market data is for betting purposes only. The Historical Data Service https://historicdata.betfair.com/#/home is available for analysis purposes. Continued extensive viewing of live market data without requisite betting activity will result in further restrictions.
The use of practice mode for an extended period would have led to this restriction being triggered. To avoid the restriction in future I would recommend avoiding being logged in if not planning on betting. "
I do realise in hindsight that I was pushing the boundaries too far. Going forward I will be treading on eggshells until I have established a proven record with Betfair. I dont want my trading career stalling before it has even got off the ground when I know that I have both the mindset and technical ability to be successful in trading.
Also, you signed up for the BDP for £299, before the restriction was triggered, right? Then it's useless to sign up for the BDP to get rid of the restriction, as others suggest.

Great adaptation of the standard aviator
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Picked these up the chrome/blue water to use for golfing and various water-sport activities. so far they have worked great.
These lenses provide great vision in all kinds of conditions from overcast skies to bright sunny days. The nose piece is really comfortable and allows for a perfect fit. You definitely forget you are wearing these sunglasses.
Everyone wants to rock a pair of aviators, but few companies offer the option of mirrored lenses. If you want to stand out from the crowd, wait no longer and pull the trigger on these great sunglasses.
Can you tell me if the windspeed frames are any more curved relative to the face than the "Raconteur" style?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars can't seem to keep their receivers healthy.
Tandon Doss suffered a badly sprained right ankle on the final play of Thursday's practice, and second-round pick Allen Robinson sat out most of practice with tightness in his right hamstring. Robinson will be out for at least two weeks, but it's unknown how much time Doss will miss.
With those two out, the Jaguars now are left with only eight healthy receivers, only three of whom have caught a pass in an NFL game.
The Jags already were without receivers Cecil Shorts and Ace Sanders. Shorts is out for at least another week because of a right hamstring strain, while Sanders is on a leave of absence for personal reasons and also is facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
"It's a very physical game, a lot of contact, and the reality is that injuries do happen," said Mike Brown, who has the most experience of any of the remaining healthy receivers (32 catches in 13 games). "When those injuries happen you've got to have a next-man-up mentality. Everybody has got to be ready to step in.
"Nobody's going to feel sorry for you, so hopefully guys can capitalize on the opportunity, and hopefully he [Doss] can get back. I don't know the severity of his injury, but hopefully he can get back with us pretty quick."
In addition to Doss and Robinson, right guard Brandon Linder (right foot sprain), reserve defensive tackle Jordan Miller (knee), and reserve linebacker John Lotulelei (left MCL sprain) also went down with injuries Thursday. Robinson, Linder and Miller will be re-evaluated Friday.
Doss, a free-agent acquisition who signed a two-year, $1.5 million contract, was injured when linebacker Geno Hayes rolled onto his foot after an incomplete pass near the sideline during an 11-on-11 drill in the red zone. Doss immediately grabbed his right ankle and cried out in pain.
Trainers fitted his ankle in an air cast and he was taken off the field on a cart. X-rays showed no fracture.
Robinson left the field during individual work and never returned. He missed eight of the nine OTAs and all of minicamp with the same injury. He and receiver Marqise Lee were the team's second-round picks and had been working with the first-team offense because of the absence of Shorts and Sanders.
"We know how important it is to be out there right now but at the end of the day we need him [Robinson] for this season," Lee said. "Him and Cecil [Shorts], we need them as healthy as possible as far as just getting ready for the season. If they need that time right now, they need that time right now."
In addition to Brown, the only other healthy receivers who have caught a pass in a game are Kerry Taylor (22 catches in 10 games) and Lamaar Thomas (two in two games).
The Jaguars have been here before. Seven receivers missed a significant amount of time during OTAs and minicamp because of a variety of injuries. That forced players including Taylor, Thomas, Chad Bumphis and Allen Hurns to get double or even triple their normal reps.

I actually had this quilt professionally quilted and this is my favorite quilting design. I often doodle a similar design on agendas in boring work meetings. :-)
I remember selecting a backing was a challenge since I wanted it to be just right. The quilt shop I went to has since closed, but I still remember how sweet the owner was to take the time to help me audition so many options and finally settle on this one and the Moda Marble Dot I used for the border and binding. I know that if Sew Lux ever opens up a retail storefront, I'll want to be as helpful to our customers as that owner was to me.
Well that is all for now. My students and I had a very successful DECA competition earlier this week and I'm whipped! I will be locking myself in my sewing room this weekend to finish up some projects!
Happy Sewing! :-)

Uttar Pradesh registers increase in number of out-of-school children
ASER carried out a survey in rural districts across India. The key findings:
- Enrolment increased for all age groups between 2014 and 2016 but there was no increase in private school enrolment.
- In government schools reading ability has increased especially at primary level.
- The standard of government schools has improved at the primary level but the ability to read English has remained unchanged.
- The attendance of school children shows no major change since 2014.
- The report was released after a break of one year.
Statistical data:
- Uttar Pradesh has the highest percentage of out of school children in the 6 to 14 age group. The reason for worry is that there is an increase in percentage since 2014.
- Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh also saw an increase in the percentage of out of school children.
- U.P. also has low school attendance rates, at 50-60 %, along with Bihar, Manipur, West Bengal and M.P.
Areas of concern:
- Though there are improvements at quantitative level, which is reflected in terms of an increase in gross enrollment ratio. But retention of students is still a challenge specially for the girl students.
- But concerns exist at qualitative level in terms of learning outcomes. This gets reflected in terms of poor reading and arithmetic abilities specially at primary level. Only half of students in standard five can solve an arithmetic problem that is expected from a student of standard two.
- There is no marked change in the ability to read English at primary level.
- Most rural schools still do not have computers.
- In a typical Indian school focus in on completing the curriculum.
Way forward:
- The policies that we formulate should be all encompassing and should attempt to make our education system as inclusive as possible. Thus, it should be aimed at eliminating differences that exist at gender, caste etc
- The pedagogy needs to be structured to cater to the needs of children in possession of varying skills, who are lagging. Learning support should be provided to children that are lagging by making relevant changes in the curriculum.
- Children can be organized in groups based on their ability irrespective of age and class.
- Pre-school education also needs to be emphasized. This will help reduce the burden imposed on the girl child to take care of siblings.
- Adequate infrastructure that includes, playgrounds, separate toilets for girls etc.
- Schemes like distributing bicycles should be widened. As this helps reduce drop outs specially of girl students.

Top 10 Movies You Regret Watching
The Top Ten
This movie is just one pile of diarrhea. - egnomac
A horrible animated movie with unlikable characters. - egnomac
This is actually a very well-crafted and challenging movie.
The problem? Well, its one of the most disturbing movies out there. No matter how good this film was (to me), I've never attempted to watch it a second time, it was that mind-numbing. It's the kind of film you'd watch once and then you're like "That's it, I'm not watching this film again", in a rather upsetting tone.
Still, I do give praise where its due, especially the direction, acting and score. - CrimsonShark
I just want this movie erased from my memory forever. - egnomac
Saw a video about this, disgusting - EliHbk
I've never watched this film, but watching clips of it convinces me enough to saw "Screw this movie. There's no way I'm putting this on screen".
Also, how did this junk get two sequels to begin with? - CrimsonShark
Did not deserve the praise it got. - egnomac
Why? I saw this and I liked it.
The Contenders
I heard the director was high on pot cookies when he made this.
It has to be the most boring movie of all time. The only good thing about this movie is that it managed to cure my insomnia while watching it. - PerfectImpulseX
10/10 Best comedy I've seen in years!
Wait what? It's not a comedy?
Well... - cjWriter1997
Just awful. - JCHOW
Why is this movie hated so much? I Kind of Liked It. - kcianciulli
Yeah, So? It's an Adult Film. You're Going to See Stuff like that in adult films. - kcianciulli
I can't believe I liked this crap. - 3DG20
I definitely regret!
Amazing movie, but... - Hater
The T.V. show is much better. - kcianciulli

Gameday Thread: Wild look to rebound against Blackhawks
Posted by bcbenzel on December 14, 2011 · 2 Comments
I know I tweeted no gameday thread but, I had a little time, so I thought I'd throw together a brief one for you.
Now, I'm not going to talk at length here before getting down to the nitty gritty, but I do want to address Zach Bogosian's hit on Pierre-Marc Bouchard quickly before we get to the game stuff.
For those of you who missed it, here it is:
Now, I can abide by the league's decision not to suspend Bogosian. I don't agree with it, but I can live with it. Looking at the hit, Bouchard did turn away from Bogosian (despite the fact that he was turning to play the puck, which is apparently frowned upon in this establishment, but we'll overlook that) before the hit happened.
So, basically, the league said that it falls on Bouchard to protect himself in that situation as opposed to playing the puck. I don't agree with it, I don't like it, but what I also don't like is that the league decided not to even fine Bogosian.
Consider that Mats Zuccarello got a $2,500 fine for this boarding call:
This one is a bit worse, yes?
I'm not going to belabor the point here, so I'll just lay it out for you here. I disagree with the league's ruling for the following reasons. Bogosian crosschecked Bouchard in the back, dangerously close to the boards. Bouchard turned away from the hit, but it was to play the puck in an offensive situation, not to attempt to draw a penalty, nor does he ever fully face the boards upon turning. If you watch, he turns enough to get his stick on the puck. Bogosian had time to pull up and pin Bouchard to the boards. Instead, he opted to cross check him square in the back.
Like I said – I can live with the NHL's decision not to suspend Bogosian, because I don't believe that it was his intent to injure Bouchard, but to not even fine him is absolutely ridiculous in this situation.
Anywho, on to today's game.
Both Cullen and Bouchard are game-time decisions, but judging by the fact that Butch has a freshly (as in last night) broken nose, I'd be surprised if he goes. Here's the projected line up per Wild.com:
Backstrom in nets.
Burning Questions
How do the Wild respond to a tough loss? If we know anything about this Wild team, it's that they typically respond well to adversity and to a tough loss. This could be the toughest game they've played in a while, but it's going to be on home ice, in front of a sold out arena (it feels great to write that again). The hallmark of a good team is that they don't let a loss derail their momentum. The Wild need to do that tonight.
Can Guillaume Latendresse rebound? Despite his goal, Mike Yeo wasn't pleased with Latendresse's game last night. To be fair to G-Lat, he hasn't played with the squad for a while, so he's not at the same place as everyone else in terms of the Wild's system. His puck support last night left a lot to be desired (he left the zone very early) and he didn't look like he was fitting in for a lot of it. That will change as he gets more comfortable with the system, but he's got to play catch up, and quick, with Pierre-Marc Bouchard potentially out.
Will Marek Zidlicky play and, if so, will he be useful? To say that Zidlicky has had a subpar season so far this year would be an understatement of huge proportions. If he plays, odds are Clayton Stoner will find himself as the odd man out, which leaves the Wild with a big, gritty hole on their blue line. Zidlicky has made poor decisions with the puck and has not played up to his potential this season and, because of that, the Wild have had struggles when he's on the ice. If he plays, that needs to change. He needs to make good decisions with the puck, he needs to support his d-partner (likely Greg Zanon) and he needs to shoot the effing puck.
How will Backstrom look in his second game in two nights? Backs wasn't unbelievably busy against the Jets (at least, not as busy as Ondrej Pavelec was), and that might be a good thing for tonight's tilt against the 'Hawks. Historically, he hasn't been the best againstChicago, but he's going to need to come up big tonight for the Wild to rebound.
The puck drops at 6:30 pm and the game will be on Versus.

The DeKalb County School District is defending its Family Life and Sexual Health curriculum after a parent complained about a sexual identity quiz. Octavia Parks told Fox 5 in Atlanta that she was shocked when her 12-year-old daughter brought the assignment home. It asked students to identify various sexual preferences and gender identities. Some of the descriptions students were asked to identify included:
- "a woman who is attracted to women"
- "a man who is attracted to men"
- "a person who is attracted to men and women"
- "a man who is attracted to women or a woman who is attracted to men"
- "when a person's gender identity doesn't match the sex…the doctor said they were when they were born"
Parks told Fox 5 "we're talking about a sixth grader who still watches Nickelodeon. I'm not ready to explain what these words are nor what they mean." READ MORE

Herbs for Sleep, Anxiety and Depression
As I begin all my articles dealing with "natural" medicines such as herbs, I strive to stress that they are still drugs and need to be used with wisdom and knowledge. If you decide to use any, always make sure your doctor and pharmacist are aware of the usage. This class of meds I will give examples of have many benefits along with many potential side effects. Since one is basically self-medicating a cardinal rule to remember is more is not better. If the recommended dose does not work, taking extra rarely improves the outcome. Taking more than the recommended dose can magnify the side effects.
KAVA KAVA: (Picture 1) This is one I have seen used and recommended with great success. Some articles I have read report it is related to the diazepam family and has actually caused false positives in urine tests. It can be highly sedating and intoxicating. As with all meds in this class - RX and OTC- caution must be maintained when using machinery or driving. Many natives in the Pacific Islands have successfully used this herb for centuries by chewing the leaves. It has been found that a more potent source is the roots. Kava Kava can numb the mouth and lips if taken as a tea. It is contraindicated in people with pre-existing liver disease because Kava Kava is detoxified via the liver. It has an indirect benefit with menstrual cramps. When one is going through any discomfort, the resulting anxiety actually intensifies the problem so by relaxation, the cramps are often reduced.
VALERIAN: (Pictures 2 and 3) As beautiful as the flowers are, the source for Valerian is actually the root. The most common use is for insomnia though in lower doses, it can be used for anxiety, depression, tremors, headaches (including migraines) and depression. As with all sleeping medicines, usage should be short-term - no more than 28 days. Finding and dealing with the cause of the insomnia is always the better and longer lasting cure for insomnia. Like all potent meds- and valerian is potent- sometimes the opposite desire is attained such as insomnia, nervousness and headache. If one is taking the med for 28 days or longer and wishes to stop, it is recommended to taper down over a 1-2 week window to circumvent withdrawal symptoms. Caution should be followed if mixing with alcohol. As I gained experience as a pharmacist, patients would often ask if they could drink alcohol, I always knew and know that the best answer is no but I am realistic and would add a BIG qualifying IF "if you do drink" if I thought they would anyway. I am practical, never naïve with meds. If one is taking medicines such as Ativan, Halcion or Xanax then this should not be added or the RX med should be stopped before this is added. I have seen it added but with doctors approval and then we would reduce all doses appropriately. Valerian can interfere with the detoxification and therefore the blood levels of many RX medicines. Many meds utilize a substrate called Cytochrome P450 to detoxify and then be excreted and usually one drugs wins over the other(s). Valerian has caused problems with medicines such as Mevacor, Nizoral, Sporonax, Halcion, Xanax and the list goes on and on. This is why it is so important to make sure your doctor is aware what OTC's you are taking and just as importantly that your pharmacist adds the herbal to your profile in his computer. I have caught numerous potential side effects this way.
ST. JOHN'S WART: (Pictures 4 and 5) this herb is one of those medicinals that the more I learn, the more I realize that there are so many things I do not know. The most common use of SJW is for depression. It has often been found to help relieve anxiety and sleeplessness but this may be more due to the fact that those two symptoms are often the result of depression and therefore as the depression is alleviated, these symptoms are often reduced. We will leave that prognosis for armchair and actual psychologists. It has been shown to be effective for Seasonal Affective Disorder commonly known as SAD. SJW has been used for so many things such as Hepatitis C, HIV, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, ADHD and so many more. I will focus on the depression aspect as so many people who come in the pharmacy tell me, when they talk to me, about their bouts of depression. It is derived from the beautiful flowers and leaves of the plant I have pictured here. The ancient Greeks including Hippocrates were well aware of the benefits of SJW. A chemical in the herb called hypericon was first found to be effective with the depression. More recently, a chemical called hyperforin was found to play a bigger role. Side effects include: hypersensitivity to the sun, anxiety, restlessness, headache and diarrhea. It is contraindicated if pregnant and breast-feeding because of preliminary studies on rats. There can be major interactions with all the diazepam's (Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Temazepam, Halcion, etc.), amitriptyline(Elavil), birth control pills (making them less effective), digoxin, protease inhibitors (HIV), all antidepressants(Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc.) and one I am extremely cautious about with many patients, warfarin(Coumadin), and many etc. As with Valerian, it also competes with an important enzyme called Cytochrome P-450. This herb is an excellent example why it is so important to make sure your doctor's office and pharmacy are aware of the herbs, minerals and vitamins you are taking. It is because of all the potential side effects and interactions that I have become very cautious with SJW. It is not that it is a bad herb, but it has great potential for problems if some caution is not exercised. No matter how busy I am, if I see a person looking at it in the aisle or buying it (actually any herb), I go over to make sure they gain some knowledge. This is not to scare but to educate.
PASSION FLOWER: (Pictures 6 and 7) this herb is most commonly used for insomnia and anxiety. The Spaniards in Peru in the 1500's found the Passion Flower to be medicinally effective which of course was the result of the use by local natives. It has also been found helpful with: GI upset, narcotic withdrawal (in combination with the RX medicine clonidine), muscle spams, pain relief, topically for abrasions, fibromyalgia, irregular heart beat, ADHD and others. In the US, it is against the law to advertise it as effective for insomnia, not because it does not work but because there are too few formal studies. This is a sad truth of many herbs. The FDA is overwhelmed with monitoring current and future RX drugs. This leaves independent companies to perform studies but these one has to sometimes research and question as motive has to be examined. I know it is "difficult" to believe, but earning potential has been known to "influence" results to favor increased sales. Side effects are not common as with St John's Wart, if one stays within recommended doses. Dosing is usually titrated in drops. Side effects include dizziness, confusion, GI upset and irregular coordination. It is unsafe if one is pregnant as it can cause the uterus to contract. Breastfeeding is not known to be safe or unsafe so I generally recommend not to breast feed. As with all the meds I talked about in this article, one should stop it, titrate down to 0, at least two weeks before surgery. Also, as with the other herbs in this article, if one is taking RX drugs for depression, insomnia or anxiety, dosing adjustments should be made. This is again the result of teamwork.
Before this article becomes too long and therefore less attractive to the reader, I will stop here. I will probably do an additional article sometime in the future on more mood altering herbs as there are so many and far too many people self-dosing due to the false belief hat "if it is natural, it must be safe". Please remember, that many POISONS are "natural" but of course deadly. Again, it is not my intent to scare but to educate. Herbs, in general, are excellent additions to our good-health regime. I would also recommend non-oral remedies for anxiety and sleep. I personally use running to deal with stress and sleep. It does not work 100% of the time but nothing, including herbs and prescription drugs, works all the time. Things such as meditation, yoga and changing ones' negative thought processes are excellent alternatives also. I will again say that an ounce of knowledge is worth a pound of cure.
