A YOUNG woman is transfixed by the pulsating strobe lights at a discotheque and suffers a seizure.
A teen-age boy has unexplained and increasingly severe seizures after repeatedly playing a video game.
And a woman who gazed at a flashing-light fire alarm intended to warn hearing-impaired office workers suffers a seizure she contends was set off by the alarm's flashing light.
All three people were discovered to have a particular form of epilepsy that gives them an extreme sensitivity to flashing lights that can touch off seizures. Their experience is part of a pattern of light-induced seizures that frighten and baffle the victims, particularly young people whose epilepsy has yet to be diagnosed. A Neurological Condition
Epilepsy experts say such cases, although relatively rare, reflect a neurological condition in a small percentage of epileptics that has largely escaped public attention.
Dr. Robert C. Fisher, a Phoenix neurologist who is a scientific adviser to the Epilepsy Foundation of America, said recently that in several hun-dred to as many as a thousand epileptics, their first seizures had been unwittingly set off by watching strobe lights, video games or other sources involving flickering lights.
When strobe or video-game lights flash at a certain frequency, they resonate with neurons in the brain and cause an electrical storm that sets off a reflex seizure, or one caused by an external stimulus. For those children who have never had a seizure and whose epilepsy has not yet been diagnosed, the seizures can cause a panic.
Video game manufacturers concede that seizures can be caused by the game's flashing lights, and since 1992 have attached warnings to their games. The Epilepsy Foundation, based in Landover, Md., said the millions of video games given as gifts over the holiday season would increase the risk of unexpected seizures. The problem occurs almost exclusively in those children who have what doctors say is a type of epilepsy marked by sensitivity to flashing lights.
Sega and Nintendo, the two largest manufacturers of video games, have both acknowledged that there is a risk for a small number of people. Nintendo began warning customers of the risk in 1991, and Sega in 1992.
Sega has said that the games can result in seizures, but only in epileptics who are sensitive to flashing lights. "If a person has this type of epilepsy, we encourage them not to play video games," the company said. But experts said there was no practical way to determine beforehand if a child had this condition. 300,000 Children Affected
The Epilepsy Foundation says that about 2 to 3 percent of the country's 2.5 million epileptics, 300,000 of them children, have this type of light-sensitive epilepsy. Neurologists call them "photo-sensitive," meaning that they are susceptible to a particular pattern of flickering light. The quicker the pulse, the larger the risk, experts said.
But Peter Van Haverbeke, a spokesman for the foundation, emphasized that video games do not cause epilepsy; they only touch off the seizures in these children.
The foundation said only a tiny percentage of nonepileptics -- an estimated 1 out of 10,000 -- are at risk. "On the basis of current knowledge, the overwhelming majority of children, with or without epilepsy, can play these games without risk of seizures," it said.
Last month, Dr. Barbara Coven, chief of pediatrics at Kaiser Permanente-White Plains Medical Center, in Westchester County, N.Y., suggested in a letter to The New York Times that video games offered an unorthodox way of diagnosing epilepsy in children, long before an electroencephalogram confirms it. Epilepsy specialists dismissed the suggestion, calling it unprofessional and saying that video games could cause uncontrollable and dangerous seizures in such children.
But Dr. Jerome Engle Jr. chief of epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at the School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles, said fears might be exaggerated. "There is just a small chance that children will suffer their first seizure from playing a video game," he said. Court Victory for Nintendo
In September, Nintendo successfully fought off a lawsuit filed by a Michigan woman who said that her epileptic seizures were caused by a Nintendo video game. A jury in Macomb County found that the seizures were caused by her epilepsy alone.
"We are concerned and sympathetic with any individual who may suffer from photosensitive epilepsy," said Howard Lincoln, a senior vice president at Nintendo. "But as the jury determined, photosensitive epilepsy is a rare, pre-existing condition which in some cases may be triggered, but never caused, by any source of flashing light."
Dr. Fisher and other experts said the phenomenon of epileptic seizures set off by flickering lights was discovered in the late 1800's. Travelers suffered seizures on straight, sunwashed roads uniformly lined with tall, thin trees that caused sunlight to have a strobe-light effect. "Traveling at dusk, with the low sun flickering through the trees, can produce conditions when a seizure is possible," Dr. Fisher said.
In the early 1960's, some patrons of strobe-lighted discotheques suffered seizures.
Most recently, two people in Chicago said they suffered seizures induced by flashing lights on building fire alarms for the hearing-impaired.
In one case, an employee in a Federal office building is suing the Government, saying she wants to force it to change the alarm so that it will not cause a seizure every time she sees its flashing lights. In the other, a man suffered a similar seizure after gazing at a flashing fire alarm in a university office. Both alarms were installed in response to a Federal law requiring that disabled people be given adequate warnings of danger.

Toyota reveals details on next-generation Prius hybrid: 55 MPG goal and likely 2015 release
Evolution, not revolutionSome details have started to come out on Toyota's next-generation Prius. At a Toyota event, Satoshi Ogiso, who used to be the chief engineer on the Prius project and is now higher up Toyota's executive tree, revealed that the company's goal with the next generation Prius is still to improve fuel economy by 10% over the previous model. This is what Toyota has done with each successive generation of its flagship hybrid, and this means that we should expect about 55 MPG combined for the fourth-generation model. Satoshi also strongly implied that the new Prius will be released in 2015, saying that there was always 6 years between each model...
Some other things we know about the upcoming Prius:Thanks to R&D into NiMH, Li-ion batteries, solid state capacitors and lithium air, the 4th-gen will have higher-density batteries. That's not surprising, but Toyota has always been rather conservative with battery technology, being very late to the li-ion party, so it's good to hear that they won't milk the same batteries forever.
The electric motor is also getting improved. The current Prius has a motor that has 4x the power density of the first Prius, and the next one will be even smaller.
The gasoline engine in the next-generation Prius powertrain feature "thermal efficiency of greater than 40%; the thermal efficiency of the gasoline engine in the current Prius is 38.5%."
The next Prius will feature the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA). "It will have a lower center of gravity and increased structural rigidity. This, along with many other improvements will allow for beneficial gains in ride-and-handling, agility and aerodynamics."
The plug-in version of the Prius, which is being developped in parallel because it shares most parts with the non-pluggable Prius, will also be improved. On this, Satoshi Ogiso said:
We have been listening very carefully to Prius PHV owners and are considering their requests for additional all-electric range. We have also heard from owners that they would like a more convenient charging operation. In response, we are developing a new wireless/inductive charging system that produces resonance between an on-floor coil and an onboard coil to transmit power to the battery, providing charging without the fuss of a cable.
Aim higher, Toyota!This is all very nice, but I wish Toyota was a bit bolder. Maybe they are and just don't want to reveal anything publicly yet, but I get the feeling that they are being a little too conservative. They used to be the frontrunner when it came to greener vehicles, and they are still doing very well, but now the real action is in plug-in hybrids and 100% electric vehicles. Toyota isn't as competitive there. The Prius PHEV is great, but it's basically a regular Prius with a better battery and a plug. Toyota's RAV4 EV is great, but it's only available in California and in small numbers...
Toyota could easily be more radical, even if it just means investing more in their partnership with Tesla and producing a high-volume RAV4 EV available everywhere, or a Camry EV, or a Lexus, whatever. Incremental 10% improvements every 6 years are fine, but I'd like to see a bit more vision out of them.

If you make regular overseas payments, it helps to have a service provider with money transfer services that are cost-effective and reliable. Transferring your pension, wages, tuition fees or even loan payments to another country can be a daunting and time-consuming process, especially if you make the payments on a regular basis. However, using a service provider who can offer you great customer service, competitive rates and low transfer fees can be beneficial when making regular international money transfers.

Repatriation of funds
If you regularly pay bills, send school fees or make mortgage payments from overseas, it's important to have a simple, cost-effective way to ensure your money gets to the required account in time and that you don't end up paying outrageous amounts each month on transfer fees and commissions. Since banks charge up to $50 per transfer, you can look for smart ways to beat bank transfer fees and hidden charges using an international money transfer service provider.
How does repatriation of funds work?
Repatriation of funds basically gives you the ability to have money without borders, allowing you to transfer funds back to Australia from overseas. There are many Australians living and working overseas who retain close investment, family and business connections in their home country, thus needing the capability to move money back home regularly. However, it is not always easy to move your investment funds or other funds from one country to another as there may be restrictions around how much you can move and requirements for you to prove that your money is from a legitimate source. A repatriation service provider can help you get your money to Australia and ensure that you save a substantial amount by offering you a competitive exchange rate and low transfer fees.
Examples of repatriation of funds
- Investment. Purchasing property overseas is a significant investment. Although property may be cheaper abroad than in Australia, you will still need to move a huge sum of money and will need a currency provider who offers you a competitive foreign exchange rate.
- Foreign pensions. If you hold your pension in an overseas account and are planning to retire back home, you will need to move your pension fund to Australia with the help of a currency provider who can save you money on fees, give you a good exchange rate and help you come up with a retirement plan.
- Wealth management. Converting assets held overseas into foreign currency can be confusing, especially due to the many laws regulating international transfers of investment funds and occasional currency exchange fluctuations. Wealth management and conversion of assets is part of the repatriation services offered by banks and other currency providers.
How do I compare international money transfer services?
- Fees. A currency provider that charges you competitive fees for international money transfers can help you save a huge sum of money. While banks may end up charging up to 1% of the transfer amount in fees, you can save by using a currency provider who has little or no transfer and commission fees.
- Accessibility. If you regularly transfer money internationally, you need a service provider with wide coverage in many countries. Most main international money transfer banks and companies have an international presence, with multiple branches, agents and offices in Australia and abroad that make it easy to send and access funds from almost anywhere globally.
- Exchange rates. Transferring funds from one country to another at the right time can make you a substantial amount in profits. Since foreign exchange rates are always fluctuating, you need a currency provider who can advise you on the right time to convert your funds overseas and provide a competitive exchange rate.
- Reputation. With so many currency providers in the market today, you need to protect your investments overseas by only trusting a well-known provider or bank to handle your international money transfers.
What are the pros and cons of repatriating funds?
- Easy and fast overseas payments. Whether you are making a one-off overseas payment or are regularly transferring money back to Australia for family, investment or business needs, you can do this easily by using the international money transfer services offered by banks and other service providers.
- Easier emigration. Moving to another country can pose many challenges, the biggest of which may be converting all your assets to foreign currency for use in your new country. With repatriation of funds, you can easily convert all your offshore assets to cash and move it from an overseas country back to Australia in an easy and convenient process.
- Competitive international transfers. There are many new currency providers who are moving away from the old ways of transferring funds internationally and who can save you a lot by waiving all fees and commissions on transfers when repatriating funds.
- Laws and regulations. Repatriating funds can be complex due to the many laws governing the process. You can face restrictions in some markets on the amount you can send or on the method of sending funds back to Australia.
Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to fix your exchange rate in advance?
Yes. If you are planning to repatriate funds in the future, you can talk to your currency provider about the right time to do this. If exchange rates are extremely volatile at the moment, you have the option of fixing your exchange rate up to one year in advance.
How can I make a profit when repatriating funds?
Moving money when foreign exchange rates are high is a sure way to make substantial profits on international money transfers. A foreign exchange broker can offer you advice on the right time to convert your foreign funds.

If you are a physical therapist who has just begun private practice, you are probably very excited to start helping patients. What you may not realize however, is that for each patient you help, you will need to submit a claim in order to get paid by their insurance company for your services. While this seems easy enough, the more patients you see, the more time-consuming this can become. And when claims start getting denied, it can get all out frustrating. Here are three reasons why you should outsource medical billing.
It Will Save You Time
When submitting a claim, there's more to it than just putting in the correct billing codes. Different insurance programs have different requirements and it can be hard to keep track of them all, unless of course you accept only a small number of insurance plans. But even then, billing codes get changed and updated on a regular basis, and if you want to get paid in a timely manner, you'll have to keep up with it all. It's pretty much guaranteed that by outsourcing to a company that provides medical billing services, it's going to save you time. And the time you save can be put toward helping people feel better, which is why you became a physical therapist in the first place.
It Will Save You Money
Even though you will have to pay for medical billing services, you can still save money by outsourcing. This is especially true if you were thinking about hiring someone to do your medical billing for you. Not having to hire someone means you won't have to fork out money to pay someone's salary and offer them benefits. You can also save money by not having to buy computer equipment and billing software.
It Will Save You From Getting Headaches
When you outsource your medical billing, you increase your chances of claims going through correctly which can save you from lots of headaches and hassles. The longer it takes for a claim to go through, the longer it takes for you to see your money, which can cause plenty of stress for a physical therapist who is just starting out. Chances are you need that income to help pay your office rent, your commercial business loan, your marketing, and the many other bills you are acquiring.
By outsourcing your medical billing, you will not only save time and money, but you will also be avoiding the hassles and headaches that usually come with submitting your own claims. For more information, contact companies like Premium Medical Billing Inc.Share

One day I was playing a game of basketball with a friend, and the friend I was playing ball with tripped and took a hard fall to the ground. He hit his head hard, but he insisted he was okay and just wanted to go home and take a nap. I knew in my heart that he was not thinking clearly, and I didn't feel right letting him go home. I talked him into letting me take him to the hospital, and after some tests, it was determined he had a bad concussion. The doctors told me that if I had let him go home and sleep, things could have taken a turn for the worse. I created this blog to remind everyone to look out for each other after injuries. Not everyone thinks clearly after a head injury, and just being a good friend could save a life.

When teachers work with a population of students (be they low SES, new Americans etc…) they need to have cultural sensitivity and they need to understand where the child comes from and how that affects how they learn. The teacher is one of the most important factors to helping kids become more literate. It is also important to remember that teaching a child is not just the job of the teacher; the parents and the community need to be part of the equation as well. It's like a tri-pod: one leg is the parent, one is the teacher, and one is the community–the student is the "camera" on top being supported by the three legs. If everyone is working together then a child is being educated better and will become more literate.
In our school district we have partnered with a neighboring district and the two school communities to help bring equity and excellence to our schools (www.partnershipvt.org). The goal is to create equitable curriculum and education practices that take cultural backgrounds into account and prepare Americans and New Americans for high school graduation and beyond. Further, teachers are trained in equity where we talk about issues related to diversity and tolerance, and we are given training in biases in order to better understand them, so that all students can feel safe and respected, and so that we, as teachers, can provide a bias-free classroom. Historically there have been huge bullying issues among students of different races, backgrounds, and cultures, and there has been discrimination toward students by teachers; those problems are not completely gone now, but teachers have been trained to address it–not ignore it or think its "normal." When there is a general feeling of safety in a school then kids are more able to attend to their learning. You can be the best teacher in the world, but if your classroom isn't a "safe" space, then the anxiety a student feels will block him/her from being the best learner they can be.
Neuman, Copple, and Bredekamp state that very early in life: "Children learn to use symbols, combining their oral language, pictures, print, and play into a coherent mixed medium and creating and communicating meanings in a variety of ways." What we need to remember is that a child can be literate in their native language and we should be measuring their progress in reading and writing in that native language. An ELL child should be immersed in English, but we shouldn't test their literacy in it until they've had several years of instruction and immersion in it. Literacy is extremely important and being literate in the language of the country you live in is beneficial, but remember that individual students need to feel safe and respected and teachers need to treat students equitably and they need to be properly trained to work with students from different cultures and backgrounds.
Common Core and Special Education
I refer to the Common Core Standards quite frequently with my students to show them exactly why they do the activities I have them do. I also do progress reports for students bi-weekly (since we have parent-teacher meetings every two weeks) so parents can get feedback about how their child is progressing and I am able to show parents the standards. My students are all on IEP's so I also have to keep track of reading comprehension goals that they have; at my school we (the teachers) have worked on developing reading comprehension goals that are realistic but that also support Common Core standards.
Helping my students meet standards is difficult. Many of them have reading levels significantly below grade level (4th or 5th grade on average with some students at 1st and 2nd grade). Having them meet high school standards (or middle school standards for those in middle school) can be significantly daunting. If we didn't have one-size-fits-all expectations then students could show that they are progressing. For example, if a student can choose details from a text at their instructional level which support his/her thinking then that, to me, is just as good as being able to do that from a text at his/her grade level. The student has shown me that she can do the skill so has met the standard. Working with the student to help increase their reading level is still a good idea, but it's not realistic to think that a student who reads at the 2nd grade level in 10th grade is ever going to read 10th grade material–not without significant intervention that takes away time needed for learning other school subjects. By the time a student is in high school he or she has learned many accommodations for reading and writing. Many teachers use audio books or audio formats to reach these students because a student can show comprehension and understanding without having to read a 10th grade text (for example), and students can dictate into software like Dragon in order to get their thinking across in writing. Students can be thinkers and can participate in discussions without being "literate" according to the Common Core.

Weiner on High Pressure
It is so high pressure for Weiner. His fellow democrats advise him to resign. The most important is Obama's comment for Weiner.
Barack Obama has piled further pressure on disgraced Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner, who has to date resisted calls to step down from Congress, by describing Weiner's behaviour as "highly inappropriate" and saying: "I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign.
But this is American politics that is quite different from Japanese politics. Therefore, I belive that Weiner will not leave his job immediately.
Weiner and His Sexting Scandal
Weiner's scandal has developed so fast. Maybe a week ago, many newspaper and blog still call Weiner's scandal as "weiner scandal". Then Washington Post develop the story. They call Weiner's scandal as Weiner's e-ffair. We can underline that Washington Post bring the new lexicon, e-ffair, come into sight. Then the e-ffair bring me to Sexting word. Thanks to wikipedia and urban dictionary that have recorded the word. The story is still developing. Now, ABC officially use sexting to describe Weiner's e-ffair.
Under fierce pressure from fellow Democrats to resign in a sexting scandal, Rep. Anthony Weiner announced Saturday he was entering professional treatment at an undisclosed location and requested a leave of absence from Congress.
Weiner's e-ffair bring me to a new world of love affair. I am not talking about conventional love affair. Weiner's e-ffair bring me to the next step of conventional love affair. When Washington Post called Weiner's scandal as e-ffair, this just resuscitated me. I then believe that another methods for love affair is possible. Thanks to technological development that give us various ways of communication. Not only various ways of communication, such technological development also bring us various ways to make love affair including sexting. Wikipedia has its definition for this way to make a love affair by using text message.
Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones. The term was first popularized around 2005, and is a portmanteau of sex and texting, where the latter is meant in the wide sense of sending a text possibly with images.

A natural enemy of sandals, slingbacks, and more of your beloved backless footwear, cracked heels are not only embarrassing to display but can cause significant discomfort too. For many women, this common issue isn't just inconvenient; it's also painful.
Fortunately, cracked heels can be resolved more easily than you may think. It's also possible to heal cracked heels using only natural, non-toxic ingredients, many of which you may already have on hand. To help you put your best foot forward, we've gathered a few of our favorite ways to heal cracked heels.
Read on to learn how to heal cracked heels with three simple solutions.
Soak and Exfoliate
Cracked heels may be common, but this favorite solution is pure luxury. Since the skin on the base of the foot—especially in the heel area—is thicker and tougher than on other parts of the body, it requires a bit more effort to soften and moisturize. One of the best ways to do this is with a foot soak.
Simply fill a tub or basin with lukewarm water, then add in a bit of cleansing white vinegar. After about 10 to 15 minutes, remove your feet and gently exfoliate using a pumice stone or loofah, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils, such as healing sandalwood or relaxing lavender, to your foot soak for a spa-like experience.
Apply heel balm
One of the easiest and most effective solutions to how to heal cracked heels is using all-natural heel balm. Simply massage the balm into cracked skin that's clean and dry, ideally immediately after a foot soak. To avoid slipping (or leaving a trail of heel balm in your wake), be sure to wear socks after applying. A similar option is to wear moisturizing heel sleeves, which nourish skin while trapping moisture to prevent further damage to the skin.
Moisturize naturally
What's good for the inside of the body tends to be good for the outside, and several of the best substances for healing cracked heels are superfoods. One of nature's most perfect moisturizers, coconut oil is a natural healing solution that's also antimicrobial.
Likewise, raw cacao butter has incredible moisturizing properties and is gaining plenty of traction when it comes to maintaining skin health.
Olive oil is another favorite natural moisturizer and can also serve as a soothing addition to foot soaks.
Perhaps one of the most surprising ways to heal cracked heels is honey, which has long been praised for its medicinal properties
Of course, if the cracks are especially deep or seem to be the symptom of a more serious issue, smoothing cracked heels may be more involved than a trip to the pantry. Don't be shy about consulting a podiatrist, and you'll be on the right path to restoring your feet in no time.

Oxytocin, which is famously known as the 'love hormone' or the 'trust hormone' is an endogenous hormone that is naturally secreted by the supraoptic and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. After its secretion, it is stored in the posterior pituitary glands. This so-called "love hormone" plays a very important role in childbirth, pregnancy, lactation, emotional bonding and social relations. Oxytocin works on pregnant women by stimulating the contraction of the smooth muscles in the uterus which is usually an indication that it is the end of the pregnancy and the beginning of childbirth. After the child delivery, oxytocin stimulates the production of a mother's milk by activating the alveoli and enabling milk let-down which facilitates the whole process of lactation. There are speculations that in addition to these two processes, oxytocin also improves and strengthens the emotional bonds between a mother and her child. This hormone has been linked to mating and some parenting characteristics. Oxytocin is naturally produced in the body during sexual interactions and sexual intercourse in both men and women and for this reason, it is believed that this hormone is related to sexual and emotional bonding between two people. Numerous controlled studies have been carried out on the effects of this hormone on mental conditions like autism and its role or relationship in the developmental impairment of the brain that is associated with this condition.
Oxytocin has been around for a relatively long time, but they have never proved to be more effective when compared to the nasal spray form of this hormone. Injection products of this hormone have also been used, in fact, for the longest time but they have never made a breakthrough in the clinical markets maybe because self-injections have always been perceived as painful and very risky. Ever since the Oxytocin nasal sprays were introduced, many other products have followed suit but none of them have been adopted or preferred like the nasal spray forms. The nasal sprays of Oxytocin have been widely prescribed by physicians and used by patients not only because they are safe, simple and easy to use, but also because their effect can last for a whole day, which is far much longer than a single injection can. Nasal spray forms of Oxytocin also allow the hormone to travel actively and directly from the blood stream into the brain, which further assures its reliability.
Oxytocin can be clinically used to induce labor, to strengthen uterine contractions and to control post-partum bleeding in maternal women. In the United States, the use of oxytocin for managing clinical conditions was approved by the Federation of Drugs Association in 1962. However, intranasal formulations that can be used to activate milk let down are no longer manufactured.
The synthetic form of Oxytocin showcases the same pharmacological characteristics as the endogenously produced oxytocin. These responses are determined by dilation, cervical parity, and the duration of labor in cases of labor stimulation. Oxytocin increases the permeability of the uterine myofibrils to sodium which indirectly stimulates the contraction of the smooth muscles of the uterus. Labour responses are very crucial to childbirth and child delivery so the uterus responds more actively and readily to Oxytocin in the presence of very high concentrations of estrogen and with an increasing duration of pregnancy. The levels of Oxytocin in pregnant women increases gradually for about 20 to 30 weeks into the pregnancy, then it goes through a plateau phase after 34 weeks until the end of the pregnancy when the woman's sensitivity to oxytocin sharply increases. Women in labor are very sensitive to oxytocin when compared to women who are pregnant but not in labor and this is a very big advantage because it solicits uterine contractions. Oxytocin increases the frequency and the amplitude of uterine contractions which consequently inhibits the flow of blood to the uterus and leads to a decrease in cervical activities which causes dilation and effacement of the crevice thus facilitating the whole process of childbirth and child delivery.
As for lactation, oxytocin leads to the contraction of the myoepithelial cells that surround the alveolar ducts of the breast. This action induces milk let-down from the alveolar channels into the larger breast sinuses which in turn facilitates the ejection of milk from the breasts. Oxytocin has no galactopoietic properties but when it is not present, the milk ejection reflex and the production of milk fails.
Oxytocin often leads to the dilation of the vascular smooth muscles which subsequently increases the flow of blood through the renal artery, cerebral arteries, and the coronary arteries. This action does not affect the pressure of blood in the body, but with the administration of very high doses or higher concentrations in solutions, the body's blood pressure can be slightly decreased. This slight fall in the body's blood pressure can lead to a reflex tachycardia or a slight increase in blood pressure which will ultimately be followed by another decrease in blood pressure.
Various studies that have been conducted on oxytocin have demonstrated some antidiuretic effects of this hormone but these effects are very minimal. However, if this hormone is administered concurrently with an excessive volume of an electrolyte free sodium solution at a rapid rate, its antidiuretic effects can be magnified. This process can result in severe water poisoning so it should be avoided completely.
Men generally produce lower levels of oxytocin when compared to women. Studies done on men in monogamous relationships have shown that this hormone can contribute to loyalty and fidelity by enhancing the female partner's attractiveness when compared to other women. It has not been clearly established how this hormone works to achieve this but more research is being conducted. Researchers have very many theories on the effects of oxytocin on the human social behavior. Particularly, scientists argue that most hormones do not have the ability to influence behavior directly, instead, they affect the way human beings think. In the case of Oxytocin, there are suggestions that its anxiolytic properties are responsible for reducing anxiety which in turn prompts human beings to get close and stay close to a special someone. Oxytocin allows the brain to pay more attention to subtle cues and it also enables the brain to analyze social information at a higher capacity than during normal situations.
Oxytocin can be administered through a nasal inhalation and a parenteral injection. After a parenteral injection, this hormone attains steady levels in the plasma in about 40 minutes and it has a half-life of around 1-6 minutes. In pregnant women, this drug is usually distributed throughout the extracellular fluid with minimal amounts being passed on to the fetus. Oxytocinase is one of the few glycoprotein-amino peptides that has the ability to degrade oxytocin. It is usually produced at the onset of pregnancy then its levels are standardized and maintained in the plasma. The activity of this enzyme increases gradually until the time of birth when there is a sharp increase in Oxytocin. It is then metabolized when the effects of Oxytocin are desired in the uterus, the plasma, and the placenta. After child delivery, the activities of this enzyme gradually decline until it is excreted from the system. Oxytocinase most probably originates from the uterus and its main function is to check and regulate the amount of oxytocin in the uterus of pregnant women. There is very little to no degeneration of oxytocin in men and women who are not pregnant. Oxytocin undergoes metabolisis in the lactating mammary glands and it can be distributed into breast milk. After its metabolisis, it is rapidly removed from the plasma through the kidneys and the liver, a very small amount of this hormone is excreted through the urine.
Oral route administration. Chymotrypsin, which is always present in the GI tract immediately destroys oxytocin on interaction which renders any oral administration ineffective, oxytocin is therefore never administered orally.
Intravenous administration. When oxytocin is administered through an intravenous infusion, it solicits its effects on a woman's uterine walls almost immediately and these effects can subside in about an hour, so this method is usually preferred when managing conditions that require fast and emergency responses.
Intramuscular route administration. When oxytocin is administered through an intramuscular injection, the uterus can respond in about three to five minutes. And this response will subside in about 2-3 hours.
Topical Route/ intranasal administration. Intranasal administration offers the most effective way of this medication's administration because it is directly absorbed into the body and its effects last for longer than when using the other methods. After an intranasal administration, the myoepithelial tissues surrounding the breasts in women rapidly contract and these effects can be experienced within minutes. That is why intranasal administrations are the most preferred as a method of inducing lactation in mothers after a child delivery.
The latest studies on the effects of oxytocin on the brain have revealed that this hormone plays major roles in the body that are far beyond that of childbirth and lactation only. Oxytocin also plays a key role in the establishment of social behaviors and personal relationships. Oxytocin also affects the feelings of love, trust and caring. Due to its positive influences on socialization, oxytocin has been indicated for the management of various mental disorders that can include autism, social anxiety, and schizophrenia. Smaller-scale studies have established that sniffing this hormone can help people with a condition of autism to interpret and understand social cues at a more advanced level and at a higher capacity. Because of these effects, many physicians prescribe it for the management of mental disorders in children.
In men, oxytocin is primarily indicated for the treatment of delayed orgasms and it is used to induce post orgasmic penile detumescence. In women, it is used to induce milk let-down which facilitates breastfeeding of infants and it can also be used to intensify sexual arousals. Oxytocin can be used in a case of prolonged pregnancy or during an abortion because of its labor inducing action.
Endogenous oxytocin is always involved in the process of lactation and it is always used as a treatment solution in mothers who experience difficulties with breastfeeding and those who cannot naturally induce the process of milk let down after child delivery. It can be excreted through the breast milk but it is not expected to have any effects on a breastfeeding infant.
Parenteral administration of oxytocin should be conducted by a qualified physician and it should be executed in a setting that has adequate and intensive medical care equipment and surgical facilities. These should be readily available in case of any adverse reactions because negative reactions from this administration can be life threatening.
According to manufacturers, synthetic oxytocin should only be used when the induction of labor is unavoidably necessary and this should be for medical purposes only. Oxytocin should never be used for a selective induction of labor since there is very little evidence to clearly establish the risk-benefit ratio of this process. During the administration of oxytocin, the fetuses and the mother's heart rates, uterine contractions, and the mother's blood pressure should be monitored. Where possible, the mother's inter-uterine pressure should also be monitored so that any negative effects can be avoided before they lead to tragic results and future complications. If any kind of hypersensitive reaction occurs, the administration of this medication should be discontinued immediately. Uterine contractions that are induced by Oxytocin will decrease steadily after the administration is discontinued.
Inducing labour using oxytocin should be avoided whenever there is any evidence of the following conditions: abnormal foetal bleeding, fetal distress, fetal prematurity, uterine prolapse, placental Previa, caphalopelvic disproportion, Vasa Previa, grand multiparity, cervical cancer, genital herpes, previous surgery of the uterus or cervix which includes more than two caesarian deliveries and any other condition that may prevent an obstetric emergency that may require a surgical operation. Using Oxytocin in any of these situations might pose a risk that may lead to unnecessary maternal and fetal distress.
Clinical studies on oxytocin have established that this hormone may possess some antidiuretic effects and using it for prolonged periods of time can increase its chances of showcasing its antidiuretic effect. Using oxytocin for extended periods of time or the administration of oxytocin in very large volumes with low sodium infusion fluids is strongly contraindicated especially in patients with a condition of eclampsia or patients with uterine atony. This is because the antidiuretic effects of oxytocin can lead to potential water intoxication because of hypertension which can result in very adverse effects on the body.
In a number of selected cases, oxytocin can be used in combination with other oxytocics for the sake of clinical purposes. It should, however, be noted that there is a very high risk of severe uterine hypertrophy with a possible cervical laceration or a uterine rupture.
The concurrent use of prostaglandin E2, dinoprostone and oxytocin is not considered safe, so it is highly contraindicated. After removing a vaginal dinoprostone insert, it is advisable that you avoid using any other oxytocic agent for a period of at least 30 minutes. Oxytocic products should be used sequentially and with strict supervision from a qualified medical care provider.
The concurrent use of oxytocin with general anesthetics or with epidural and other spinal anesthetics can lead to the development of adverse cardiovascular conditions especially in individuals with a history of pre-existing heart conditions. The administration of cyclopropane with or without oxytocin has revealed various negative implications that can include maternal sinus bradycardia, hypotension, increase in cardiac output and heart rates, abnormal atrioventricular rhythms and systemic venous returns, in addition, the administration of halothane can decrease the sensitivity and responsiveness of the uterus to oxytocin and in very high doses, it can render this hormone ineffective. This can greatly increase an individual's risk of uterine bleeding. It has not been clearly established whether other halogenated anesthetics will react to oxytocin in this manner but more studies are being conducted in order to confirm their effects and come to solid conclusions.
The concurrent administration of prophylactic vasopressors with oxytocin can lead to severe and persistent hypertension, these two drugs exhibit a synergistic vaso-constrictive effect on blood vessels. So this should be totally avoided. The incidence and effects of such an interaction can be decreased if vasopressors are not administered prior to any oxytocin medications. This interaction can also include other sympathomimetics like ephedra and mahuang.
You should avoid any oxytocin medication if you are undergoing treatment using any of the following medications; All medicines used to manage blood pressure, all medicines used to induce sleep during surgery and any other medications that are used to contract the uterus.
This list does not describe all the possible interactions so you should remember to always provide your health service provider with a list of all the medications that you are currently on, this should include all herbs and non-herbs, dietary supplements, vitamins, drugs such as alcohol and cigarettes and any other illegal drugs.
Some individuals can experience hypersensitive reactions to the effects of Oxytocin. These side effects can also be realized after the administration of excessive doses of this medication which can lead to increased hypertonic uterine contractions that can last for very long periods of time. This can result in a number of reactions that can include; excessive postpartum bleeding, cervical laceration, pelvic hematoma and rupturing of the uterus.
Some cardiovascular effects that can be experienced by maternal women include hypertension, premature ventricular contractions, and arrhythmia exacerbation. Effects on the fetus can include; PVC's, bradycardia and other forms of arrhythmias.
Due to its antidiuretic effects, severe water intoxication can occur if oxytocin is administered in very high doses of about 40 – 50 milliunits per minute and for extended periods of time. The management of water intoxication can include supportive therapy or an immediate oxytocin cessation. Very large doses of oxytocin can lead to fetal death, permanent brain damage of the fetus or a permanent damage of its central nervous system. Other rare complications like bleeding of the conjunctiva, blurred vision, and pulmonary edema have also been associated with water intoxication that is as a result of oxytocin. The administration of oxytocin has also been associated with anaphylactoid reactions.
Oxytocin-induced labor has implications of increased incidences of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia which is about 1.6 times more likely to occur than under normal circumstances. This can lead to a condition of neonatal jaundice.
Nausea and vomiting are also some side effects that have been associated with oxytocin.
You should contact your health service provider or seek emergency healthcare services immediately in case you experience any negative reactions after the administration of this medicine.
Some individuals can experience allergic reactions like skin rashes, itching, hives, swelling of the tongue face or lips and irritation. Other side effects can include breathing problems, excessive or continuous vaginal bleeding and an unusual weight gain.
Side effects like headaches and vomiting are very common and they don't usually require serious medical attention except when they persist to disturbing levels.
This list may not include all the possible side effects and adverse reactions but if you ever experience any signs of a negative reaction, you should contact your health care service provider immediately.
If you miss a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember about it. Store all your medicine in a cool dry place away from sunlight and away from the reach of children.
Oxytocin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of sexual arousal issues, delayed orgasms in men and post-orgasmic penile detumescence.

Isaiah becomes one of the most bold, confident mouthpieces for God in his years as a prophet, but in his calling, which we'll read today, he's timid. He, like so many others in Scripture, feels unworthy of what God is calling him to do. When God calls us, he also gives us the ability to fulfill that calling.
Isaiah 6:1-7:25:
- 1-4 – This sets the scene for Isaiah's calling to be God's prophet. God is described as vast and powerful.
- 5 – It is very common for folks in the Bible to be hesitant to accept their callings. They often have excuses.
- 6-7 – God always has a solution for people's excuses.
- 8 – Yet another example of a person in Scripture who answers, "Here I am".
- 9-13 – God is fed up with the Israelites unfaithfulness. He sends Isaiah to speak a message of repentance but knows the people won't listen.
- 1-9 – Syria and Israel are in cahoots to attack Jerusalem, which is part of Judah. Isaiah is to assure Judah that Syria and Israel will not prevail.
- 14 – This is a clear prophecy of Jesus' birth, which wouldn't happen for over 400 years, but is also specifically talking about Isaiah's son, Immanuel.
2 Corinthians 11:16-33:
- 19-21 – Apparently the Corinthians were very patient with those who wronged them. Paul admits he did not have that kind of strength.
- 22-29 – These are Paul's credentials. This is what he's been willing to endure for the sake of Christ.
Psalm 54:1-7:
- David writes this Psalm after being ratted out. He has been betrayed but his hope is still in the Lord because he knows God has taken care of him before and will continue to do so.

For the past week I have been exploring the backroads of Ellis County in North Texas in my little Toyota Yaris with a tripod and my Nikon D70. I have been using a Neewer 760nm infrared filter to create uniquely beautiful images of the Texas countryside. Those of you who know me know my strong dislike for overly Photoshopped images; this being my disclaimer that these images are as shot. During my time at Anoka-Ramsey Community College I began to explore the world of infrared photography with film. Though I still have a few rolls of infrared film in my possession I don't have a darkroom to process it, hence my use of the digital spectrum of photography to create infrared images. The past week has been a lot of learning and experimenting to figure out how to get the best image and learning the nuances of infrared with digital technology. Here are the best shots of the past week, and of course there will be more to come.
The biggest learning curve has been working with color infrared images. The skies in these look so dramatic with the blue looking eery being the only color in the image as the rest remains black and white. Even in these seven images you can see the growth and the final result looks better (the first images are at the bottom and the newest the top).
Coming from the world of infrared film photography I will always have a soft spot for the black and white images. They look so dreamy and unique with the white foliage and dark, ominous skies. These were some I created this past week also. The first is a creek bed I found along a road and it had fortunately rained that morning so there was water slowly trickling along the stone creek bed. The others are abandoned houses I found in my exploration. I find it fascinating the amount of structures that just get left to rot in this region. It is quite common to come across a dilapidated building on any drive in this area.

The Cyclades is an often requested destination but unfortunately is often chosen for the wrong reason. True, the area contains probably the most famous Greek islands, such as Santorini and Mykonos, but it also has strong winds, particularly in summer when the Meltemi can push strengths to F7-8 for days at a time.
It's not always so windy but unless you (and your crew) are happy with some harder sailing, I would suggest you go earlier or later in the season, when winds are lighter. Even then, this is not an area for those with sensitive stomachs. On my last trip we spent one night in a sheltered bay with 40 knot winds whistling through the rigging! It can even be rough in some of the harbours!
The distance between the islands can also be more than some people want, with most itineraries usually involving at least one long leg. Some planning is well worthwhile as the prevailing winds are broadly northerly, encouraging a circular route if you are to avoid a hard slog back to base at the end of the trip.
If that hasn't put you off, the Cyclades is a fantastic cruising ground and it will take you several trips to scratch the surface. There are islands large and small, from the well known tourist destinations to quiet spots far from the crowds. Many of the harbours are relatively small but it's fairly quiet and there's no rush for a place at the end of the day.
Those who are happy to pass the odd night at anchor will probably enjoy the area the most as this greatly expands your options. And if you really like to get away from it all, it's not hard to find spots where you will be the only yacht in the bay.
The main bases for the Cyclades are the two Athens ports of Alimos marina at Kalamaki, and the marina and harbour at Lavrion. You can also charter from bases on the islands of Paros and Syros, and there is a small fleet in Santorini.
Given the sailing conditions, it's probably no surprise that there are no flotillas operating in the area but with the vast fleets in Athens there is a huge choice of yachts for those wanting bareboat and skippered charters. There are also cabin charters running from Lavrion, Santorini and Mykonos.
The most popular starting point is Athens which is relatively easy to reach compared to the other bases. However, this means starting right at the north end of the cruising grounds, so if you want to get right down to the southern end you've a long way to go, and more importantly a long way to come back in to the prevailing winds. There are daily flights to Athens from Heathrow and Gatwick and several flights a week from Manchester and Edinburgh though none of these run on Saturdays.
Santorini is served by flights from Manchester, Birmingham and Gatwick, though only the latter run on Saturdays.
Syros and Paros, lying in the centre of the cruising grounds are ideal starting points. However, neither have a direct flight service from the UK, so you will need to use the internal flights from Athens or the ferries from the main Athens ferry port, Pireaus, or Rafina. Fast ferries take only around 2 to 2.5 hours, but both these and the slower ferries can stop running in strong winds. If this happens at the start of your trip, you may miss a little sailing time, but if it happens at the end, you may miss your flight home! So if you charter from here I would suggest using the planes or planning a couple of days in Athens for some sightseeing at the end of your trip, to provide some contingency.
More details on the Cyclades, including write ups on lots of possible stops and some suggested routes, will be coming in due course. Meantime, to get a feel of the area, take a look at the pictures on this page: Cyclades: Gallery

It was D's cousins little girl's 1st Birthday a few days ago, and I wanted to make her something little, but also something that she could keep in her room for a good few years and wouldn't outgrow too quickly.
So, I reverted to an old favourite of mine and made her some pink floral bunting with a fun pom-pom trim! Bunting has been done a million times over, and I think most people are kind of over it, but I still think it's cute, and I did try a new technique, which probably has a real name but I just sort of made it up as I went along!
I made pink felt triangles for the front of the flags, and white triangles for the backs, then cut the letters out of the pink triangles. I bought a fat quarter of this pink and purple floral fabric a while ago, and I thought it would be great as its pretty, but not too young! I cut out some little pieces and used tiny stitches to secure them to the pink felt so the pattern showed through the cut out letters. I then attached the white felt backs (to hide the stitching and the back of the floral fabric) with pink blanket stitch, and stitched each flag onto the pom-pom trim!
I really like how this ended up, and really enjoyed hand sewing something for a change! I'm told that it went down well with Amelie too and that it's already hanging in her bedroom! Perfect!

The Wisconsin Medical Society's Obesity Prevention Policy
The Wisconsin Medical Society recognizes obesity in children and adults as a major public health epidemic. The Society supports incorporating obesity prevention and treatment across multiple institutional environments as follows:
Physical activity environment: The built environment as shaped by transportation and land use policy promotes or inhibits physical activity. As such, community planners, public officials, and developers have an opportunity to prevent and remediate obesity. The Society supports:
- Community-level initiatives to increase availability and use of community recreational facilities so that all children and adults may be physically active in a safe and enjoyable way.1
- Proper and positive implementation of Wisconsin's Complete Streets Law, which requires the Department of Transportation to ensure bicycle and pedestrian facilities are included in all new highway construction and reconstruction projects funded in whole or in part from state or federal funds.2
- Legislation requiring new road and highway construction and reconstruction projects that, regardless of funding source, ensures bicycle and pedestrian facilities that meet Department of Transportation requirements as stated in Wisconsin's Complete Streets Law.3
Food & beverage environment: The Society believes ensuring access to healthy food and beverage options for all is a public health priority. As such, the Society encourages public officials and community leaders to make a concerted effort to reduce unhealthy food and beverage options while substantially increasing healthier food and beverage options at affordable, competitive prices. The Society supports:
- Discouraging overconsumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by making clean, potable water and a variety of competitively priced and appropriately sized non- sugar-sweetened beverage options readily available in public places, worksites and recreational areas.4
- Legislation limiting the amount of calories served in children's meals at chain and quick-service restaurants.5
- Financial and non-financial incentives such as tax breaks, subsidies, supportive zoning and technical assistance to food retailers that locate in underserved communities and that offer a variety of healthy, affordable food options.6
- Financial and non-financial incentives to encourage the production, distribution and procurement of foods from local farms.7
- State and federal agriculture policy which encourages production of a variety of crops designated for nutrient dense foods.8
- Where taxes on beverages with added sweeteners are implemented, the revenue should be used primarily for programs to prevent obesity, as well as to improve access to potable drinking water, particularly in schools and communities disproportionately affected by obesity and related conditions.9, 10
Health care and workplace environments: Health care professionals and insurers are at the forefront of obesity prevention and treatment; as such they are in a position to catalyze individual and population health improvement. The Society:
- Supports standards of practice for routine medical examinations that include utilization of body mass index (BMI), tape measurement of waist circumference for those with BMI less than 35 and counseling and behavioral interventions for prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment of overweight and obesity in adults.11
- Supports standards of practice for routine medical examinations that include utilization of BMI-for-age for children (ages 2-20), assessing children's rate of weight gain and parents' weight status, and counseling and behavioral interventions for prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.12
- Will encourage public and private insurers to ensure that health insurance coverage and access provisions address obesity prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment for children, adolescents and adults.13
- Supports full medical and surgical insurance coverage for evidence-based obesity care, including ancillary services such as dieticians, exercise physiologists, and psychologists.14
- Encourages those who provide health care services to women of childbearing age to offer counseling on the following: the importance of conceiving at a healthy BMI; appropriate pregnancy weight gain, subsequent post-partum weight loss, breastfeeding initiation and continuation and making informed infant feeding decisions.15
- Encourages health care professionals, at each well-child visit, to provide guidance to parents of young children in ways to increase their child's level of physical activity, decrease their sedentary behavior and encourage healthy eating habits.16
- Encourages all employers to adopt workplace policies to support breastfeeding mothers that ensure comfortable private space and adequate break time.17
School environments: Children spend up to half their waking hours and consume one-third to one-half their daily calories in school environments.18 As such, schools are uniquely positioned to serve as a focal point in addressing childhood obesity. The Society:
- Supports proper and positive implementation of the federal Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 as a way to promote strong nutritional standards for all foods and beverages sold or provided through schools.19
- Supports legislation that requires all beverage vending machines in Wisconsin's schools contain only bottled water, milk, 100% fruit juice, 100% vegetable juice or a blend of fruit and vegetable juices or other healthy beverage options.20
- Supports legislation that requires foods sold outside federally reimbursed USDA programs, often known as "competitive foods" or "a la carte options" also meet the nutrition standards set by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010.
- Recommends licensed child-care providers utilize existing Wisconsin Active Early Resource Kit for low-cost or no cost strategies and resources to promote 120 minutes of physical activity for children 2-5 years of age in the care of providers.21
- Recommends state and local education agencies expand the Wisconsin Active School Project to ensure that all students in grades K-12 have adequate opportunities to engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per school day.22
- Recommends the Department of Instruction develop and require K-12 curriculum standards for quality physical education that ensures at least 50% of class time is spent in vigorous or moderate-intensity physical activity.23
- Recommends the State Legislature and Department of Public Instruction adopt standards for K-12 sequential food literacy and nutrition science education curriculums based on the food and nutrition recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.24
Messaging: The message environments surrounding people influence physical activity and food choices and play an important role in preventing and remediating obesity. The Society:
- Supports proper and positive implementation of Section 4205 of the Affordable Care Act, which requires nutrition labeling at restaurant chains with more than 20 locations.25
- Encourages the FDA and USDA to adopt a single standard for mandatory nutrition labeling system for all fronts of packages and retail store shelves.26
- Supports mandatory nutritional standards that limit foods and beverages marketed to children and adolescents to those that support a diet in accordance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.27
- Supports statewide initiatives to combat childhood obesity by developing a targeted evidence-based, innovative social marketing program with physical activity and nutrition messages for children, adolescents and their parents.28
- Will work to develop a statewide education effort, in conjunction with community advocates and interested parties, to create awareness of obesity prevention, obesity complications, and effective, sustained obesity treatment.
