This breakthrough study, funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and published by the New England Journal of Medicine in 2011, found that children whose spina bifida defects were repaired surgically before birth were more likely to walk without the assistance of orthotics or devices. NICHD is one of the Institutes of the National Institutes of Health.
Now, a follow-up study, also funded by NICHD and informally known as MOMS2, is being conducted to determine whether prenatal repair done in the original study influenced the adaptive behavior of these children, now 5 to 9 years of age, compared with those who underwent postnatal repair.
One of the effects in question is the brain development of these children. Jenifer Juranek, Ph.D., a neuroimaging expert with the Texas Fetal Center and the Children's Learning Institute at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), is performing high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain sequences on 177 of the children from the original study to investigate if those who underwent prenatal surgery experienced greater structural modification in their brains than those infants who underwent postnatal surgery.
The follow-up brain imaging protocol was set up by Juranek at each of the three original MOMS study sites: Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the University of California at San Francisco. Each follow-up image will be analyzed and quantified by Juranek for such key development indicators as brain volume, matter integrity, synaptic pruning (i.e., when excess connections between cells are eliminated) and myelination, which enables nerve cells to transmit information faster and allows for more complex brain processes.
"Researchers have demonstrated that many neurodevelopmental disorders like spina bifida may be linked to poorly-timed cellular events during brain development. These events lead to specific structural and functional brain development," said Juranek. "With this follow-up study, researchers can evaluate the impact different intervention strategies have on brain structure, function and behavior."
The results of the MOMS2 study could influence future surgical procedures for babies diagnosed with myelomeningocele, says KuoJen Tsao, M.D., associate professor of pediatric surgery at UTHealth Medical School and a co-director of the Texas Fetal Center.
"The MOMS study gave us data that goes two or three years out from surgery, but we know there is a lot of development beyond that," said Tsao. "We know there are certain short-term outcomes, but there may be some long-term neurological effects we don't know about. What's most exciting about the MOMS2 study is they are going to follow these patients at school age."
One common risk associated with myelomeningocele is the buildup of fluid inside the skull that leads to brain swelling. This swelling is repaired with shunts inserted into the brain to relieve pressure. The original MOMS study found that prenatal surgery reduced the need for shunts, which may improve long-term brain development.
"Once you put in a shunt you have risks," said Juranek. "Getting into the center of brain isn't easy. If you put in a shunt, you are likely to cut through gray and white matter, both of which are responsible for certain brain functions."
Tsao added, "The important thing about the MOMS2 study is it will answer questions that we are asking now. That's where Dr. Juranek's work is very important."
Other follow-up testing will look at other development factors such as attention, executive function and fine and gross motor skills.

Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan Give $5 Million to Ravenswood
Health Center
Lisa Fernandez, NBC Bay AreaJanuary 22, 2014
EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. –It's a call any leader of a struggling nonprofit would covet.
On Sunday, Luisa Buada, CEO of the Ravenswood Family Heath Center in East Palo Alto got a call from none other than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Would she like $5 million to help her close the gap on her multimillion construction project to build a new health center?
Well, Buada's answer was obvious."It was a lovely conversation," she told NBC Bay Area, putting it mildly.
And on Wednesday, Buada, along with a host of health care leaders and two Congresswomen, were poised to formally announce the major gift on the 38,000-sqare-foot, two-story health center at Bay and Pulgas Roads. The Zuckerberg-Chan gift clears the goal for construction costs, estimated to be about $29 million. The balance of $7 million needs to be raised to equip the clinic and hire new staff before opening in April 2015.
Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park is less than four miles from the health center in East Palo Alto. And in December 2012, Zuckerberg donated 18 million shares of stock to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which at the time, was valued at $500 million. Today, it's estimated to be valued between $900 million and $1 billion. The $5 million for the Ravenswood center is coming from that donation to the Silicon Valley foundation.
"We're grateful to the support from Mark and Priscilla, and all our other donors, that will help us serve the community in even more ways over the coming years," Buada said of her 12-year-old center.
Technically, Zuckerberg's gift is from him and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, who is in pediatric residency at the University of California at San Francisco. She visited the clinic a few weeks back and fell in love with the place, according to Kathleen Alexander, spokeswoman for the health center.
"As a pediatrician, I have seen great need for high quality, comprehensive health care and also the positive impact care can make on the entire family," Chan said in a statement. "Quality healthcare and a strong educational system are the key elements of a healthy community."
The new center – replacing the temporary modular offices – will double Ravenswood's service capacity from 11,000 to 22,000 patients per year, and support improved primary care services with 58 exam rooms and 13 behavioral health counseling rooms, as well as laboratory, imaging and mammography services, optometry exams and a pharmacy. Designed by INDE Architecture, the new facility will be constructed by Rudolph & Sletten.
Facts About the Ravenswood Health Center
The center will create new jobs in healthcare and also support the expansion of residency programs in pediatrics, internal medicine and family practice.
The center received an initial $5 million capacity building grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services administration in May 2012, made available through the Affordable Care Act for the purpose of increasing the capacity of community health centers to serve more people
To mark the significance of the new health center, U.S. Reps. Jackie Speier and Anna Eshoo were expected to attend the ceremony along with Mayor of East Palo Alto Laura Martinez, Regional Administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, David Sayen, County Manager John Maltbie and County Supervisor Warren Slocum.
"Providing high quality healthcare for everyone is important for building a strong community," Zuckerberg said in a statement. "Investing in our local community is really important for me and Priscilla, and we're proud to support the Ravenswood Family Health Center."

Ohio groups: Student performance tied to poverty
Conservative says cards aren't perfect gauge of job schools are doing
Student performance in the classroom is linked to poverty, an analysis of data collected under Ohio's new school assessment system and released Monday confirms, according to groups representing Ohio school boards, administrators and treasurers.
The review found that Ohio's 123 suburban school districts scored the highest on the performance index calculated as part of Ohio's new A-F grading system while also recording the highest average income, the lowest poverty rate and the highest concentration of college degrees.
The analysis was conducted jointly by the Ohio School Boards Association, the Ohio Association of School Business Officials and the Buckeye Association of School Administrators.
The groups "are absolutely not saying that students who are economically disadvantaged could not do well," said Barbara Shaner, representing the business officials' association.
"What we're saying is that there are things that affect whether or not a student performs well other than just what happens in the classroom," Shaner said. "We just want to make sure that everyone is aware of this correlation so that going forward as we determine public policy and as we choose where to spend our resources we have this information in front of us."
Race was a less consistent factor than income in performance, the analysis found.
The suburban districts that scored highest on the new performance index had the third-highest concentration of minorities among the eight classes of school districts recognized by the Ohio Department of Education.
In releasing its own analysis of the report cards earlier this month, the conservative Thomas B. Fordham Institute said that neither the school performance index nor a second "value-added" measure of students' learning gains collected for the report cards is a perfect gauge of the job Ohio's schools are doing.
"Zeroing in on achievement alone risks mislabeling a school as failing academically, when it may be doing a great job helping students make big gains after starting out far behind," its Sept. 9 report said. "At the same time, focusing only on student progress, while ignoring achievement, may conceal the fact that students, even those making solid gains, remain far below the academic standard necessary to enter college or to obtain gainful employment upon graduating from high school."
Ohio Department of Education spokesman John Charlton said the state wants to see all children receive a quality education at a quality school.
"No matter where they're located, no matter what students go there, we want to make sure every student gets educated," he said. "In Ohio, we feel every student can learn and every school should be able to teach, and every school should be able to make a student successful."

The Sex-Diabetes Connection: What You Need to Know
Many men avoid discussing their sex lives with their doctors, but the low testosterone-diabetes link may make this conversation necessary.
It's estimated that up to 25% of all men in the United States have low testosterone (low T), although less than 6% have symptoms. Doctors don't yet understand why some men do while others don't, says Abraham Morgentaler, MD, a Harvard-based urologist and author of Testosterone for Life (McGraw-Hill, 2009). He suggests that every man has a different threshold for developing symptoms.
Levels of testosterone (also known as the male hormone) decline gradually as men age, but usually don't fall enough to cause an actual "male menopause." Because testosterone levels drop slowly, often over years, men may not notice gradual changes in how they feel, or may blame symptoms they do notice on aging. However, over time some men with low T can encounter some of the changes women experience after menopause—a higher risk of bone thinning that can lead to osteoporosis and fractures, increased irritability, problems concentrating, depression and even hot flashes.
Besides low libido, low T can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED), low energy, and low bone density. It also can result in muscle being replaced by fat.
Low T also has been linked to diabetes. It's estimated that approximately 50% of men with diabetes have low T, and that the risk of low T among men with diabetes is double that of men who don't have the disorder. Still at issue is whether testosterone replacement can help control diabetes. So far, says Dr. Morgentaler, studies have produced conflicting results.
To treat low T, testosterone injections can help. In Dr. Morgentaler's study of 211 men between the ages of 30 and 79 who had low libido, almost two-thirds reported improvement after beginning testosterone therapy, regardless of their age. Explaining why treatment didn't work for all the men in the study, Dr. Morgentaler notes that human sexuality involves more than just body chemistry. Libido can wane due to stress and other factors.
When low T is the problem, however, testosterone replacement also may work to remedy ED. But ED, like low libido, can be caused by other factors, such as diabetes-related nerve damage, circulation problems or depression.
Today, most testosterone replacement is delivered through patches placed on the skin or with gels that men rub into their upper arms or shoulders. Gels, it's been found, provide for better absorption of the medication than patches. Some men also get periodic testosterone injections at their doctors' offices or inject themselves. Whatever the delivery method, dosage may have to be adjusted until a man begins to feel better.
Not every change a man experiences as he ages is due to low T. But if a guy is losing his edge, and his interest in sex isn't what it used to be, it's worth finding out if low T is the problem. If it is, boosting hormone levels may tune him up and turn him on.

By Amy Norton
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Some women with unexplained fatigue may get a bit more pep from iron supplements - even if they do not have full-blown anemia, a new clinical trial suggests.
The study focused on women who were chronically tired and had relatively low iron stores. They did not, however, have full-blown iron-deficiency anemia, in which the body has too few oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
It has not been clear whether iron supplements can help battle fatigue in non-anemic women.
To find out, Swiss researchers randomly assigned 200 women with unexplained fatigue to take either 80 milligrams of iron a day or a placebo (identical-looking pills with no active ingredient.)
Over 12 weeks, both groups improved. But women on iron supplements fared better, the researchers report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
On average, scores on a standard measure of fatigue fell by nearly half - from about 25 to 13, on a scale of zero to 40 - among women getting the extra iron.
That compared with a 29 percent decline in fatigue reported by the placebo group, whose average score fell from about 25 to just over 16.
The findings suggest that when a woman's persistent fatigue cannot be explained by any health condition, low iron should become a suspect, according to lead researcher Paul Vaucher, a doctoral candidate at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.
Physicians often test for iron deficiency by measuring blood levels of hemoglobin, a protein in blood cells that carries oxygen. But hemoglobin levels usually don't fall until the later stages of iron deficiency, when a person has full-blown anemia.
In their study, Vaucher's team measured women's blood levels of ferritin, which is a marker of the body's stored iron. Doctors may or may not order that test when looking for iron deficiency.
Vaucher said that for a woman with unexplained fatigue, measuring ferritin would be wise.
"This marker will then give a better idea of whether iron load is low or not, even if women are not anemic," Vaucher said in an email.
All of the women in this study had ferritin levels below 50 micrograms per liter, which would be considered low to borderline-low.
Since women in the placebo group also improved, the effects of the iron supplement were not huge. They amounted to an extra 3.5 points shaved off a woman's fatigue score.
"That might seem like a small difference," said Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics who was not involved in the study.
But, she said in an interview, the iron-pill advantage was still significant in statistical terms, and that's something doctors should be aware of.
Fatigue is complex and subjective, and women in the placebo group might have improved for a number of reasons, Gerbstadt noted. Some, for example, may have started getting more sleep and generally taking better care of themselves.
So if you're habitually worn out, could taking iron be worth it?
Gerbstadt cautioned that you should first see a doctor to try to get at the cause of your fatigue. She said a range of problems, from depression to sleep disorders to physical health conditions, can lead to fatigue.
"It may or may not be iron," Gerbstadt said.
Vaucher, whose study was funded by Pierre Fabre Médicament, a French maker of pharmaceutical and health products, agreed.
"We do know (fatigue) is related to many different diseases that can be treated," he said. "Iron deficiency should therefore only be considered once other causes have been ruled out by a physician."
On top of that, iron pills can have side effects, like constipation, diarrhea and nausea. In this study, 35 percent of iron users reported at least one side effect - though 25 percent of placebo users did as well.
In general, experts recommend that women in their reproductive years get 18 milligrams of iron per day, and no more than 40 mg. (If you are actually iron deficient, your doctor may recommend supplements with a higher dose.)
Iron deficiency is much less common in men and in women who are past menopause. The current study included only women who were still menstruating (which increases the chances of low iron), so the findings do not apply to men or postmenopausal women.
To help prevent iron deficiency in the first place, experts advise getting a balanced diet that includes food rich in iron - like beef, poultry, fortified cereals, beans and spinach. Eating vitamin C-rich foods will also help your body absorb the iron in plant foods.

Is the Plan the Generator? In his seminal work of modernist architectural theory, Towards a New Architecture, 1927 (translated into English by Frederick Etchells) Le Corbusier staked a bold claim that the floor plan is "the generator" – with the exterior of the building following the logic of the interior arrangement of space.

On a recent trip to Croatia I re-discovered the beauty and simple design success of traditional European piazzas or marketplaces.

Pre-Operative Instructions
Following pre-operative instructions is important to ensure a smooth procedure and an easy recovery process. Pre-op instructions for dental surgery differ depending on which procedure you are undergoing and the type of sedation or anesthesia you will receive. Some oral surgery procedures are performed using only local anesthetic, while others involve intravenous (IV) sedation. Following these general guidelines is usually a good place to start. Your dentist can provide you with more specific instructions related to your individual procedure.

Gordon Strachan has confirmed Celtic will sign American goalkeeper Dominic Cervi.
Cervi, a 22-year-old University of Tulsa graduate, rejected the chance to sign a contract with Major League Soccer after being selected by Chicago Fire.
He had a trial with Portsmouth without being offered a deal and has most recently been training with the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions.
Manager Strachan said: "Jim Blythe (goalkeeping coach) will be working with him and we see him as a two-year project."
Celtic had targeted Cervi, capped at under-23 level, after their pre-season tour to the USA.
The keeper, who spent time with Tulsa Golden Hurricane and Michigan Bucks, played for his country at the Toulon Under-21 Tournament and was part of their squad for the Olympics in Beijing.
His parents are Italian and he is applying for a passport that would allow him to play in Europe without having to receive a work permit.
Celtic are looking for more competition for Poland international Artur Boruc. Mark Brown, formerly of Inverness, is currently Boruc's understudy.

Honestly, I can't even remember the last newer-ish car I drove that had an actual key instead of a fob and a push-button start. And in light of the General Motors ignition switch recall, the end of car keys may come sooner than we expected.
Bloomberg reports that GM may make the push-button start a standard feature on all of its vehicles soon, a move that has the potential to end the potential mechanical headaches that car keys and twist ignitions bring. It could prompt other automakers to do the same.
While many of us enjoy the feeling of twisting a key to start the engine — especially if it's an actual, metal key and not some kind of fob — an electric button is much simpler, more reliable and potentially more user-friendly.
Presumably, you also eliminate the risk of a driver accidentally moving the key into the "off" position while the car is running with his or her knee, the problem documented in the Cobalt and other cars. Then again, as Jason pointed out a while back, proximity keys, fobs and start buttons have their downsides too.
To be fair, this isn't entirely GM's doing. Push-button starts began as a luxury feature in Mercedes-Benzes in the 1990s, but like most luxury features on high-end cars the technology eventually trickled down to more plebeian cars. This recall, which shows one of the weaknesses of the key and ignition switch, may just serve to hasten that technology's demise.
The question is, will anyone miss the car key? I know plenty of buyers who see the push-button start as an exciting, premium and almost race car-like feature. The car key may not have too many defenders beyond old-school enthusiasts.

DUBLIN, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A panel of experts has recommended changes to the guidelines used to determine treatment via intrathecal administration for patients suffering from severe chronic pain. The 2011 Polyanalgesic Consensus Conference (PACC) brought together a group of national leaders in chronic pain management for the purpose of updating their current algorithm to standardize decision-making among providers and improving the technical quality of care in chronic pain.
The 2011 PACC guidelines for management of nociceptive and neuropathic chronic pain by intrathecal drug delivery recommended ziconotide, among other drugs, as a first-line intrathecal treatment. The panel recognized that ziconotide should be titrated in a low and slow manner. Ziconotide was also recommended by the 2011 group as the preferred option for intrathecal administration compared to opioids when there is a concern for recurrent granuloma. [please see important safety information and product indication at the end of this release]
The expert panel recommendation was based on an extensive literature search and an expansive survey with more than 15,000 clinicians worldwide since the last update in 2007. The panel also reviewed changes in the FDA status of medications and their combined clinical expertise to inform their recommendations
"The Consensus Conference was convened to review the importance of drug selection in patient outcomes; to review issues concerning granuloma detection, prevention and treatment; to consider trialing methods and candidates and to consider best practices to reduce morbidity and mortality," said Tim Deer, MD, president and CEO, The Center for Pain Relief and Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology, West Virginia University School of Medicine, Charleston, WV.
The expert panel of 29 clinicians and the faculty of the North American Neuromodulation Society was convened by Tim Deer, MD, Joshua Prager, MD, MS, Center for the Rehabilitation of Pain Syndromes (CRPS) at UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA; and Robert Levy, MD, PhD, Northwestern, University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL. The results were presented during the North American Neuromodulation Society Annual Meeting, Dec. 8-11, in Las Vegas, NV.
"The importance of selecting the best drug options for intraspinal drug delivery to treat those in severe pain cannot be understated," added Deer. "We must continue to keep all our colleagues informed of the best treatment practices in pain management and routinely evaluate treatments and patient data. Best clinical practices, experience, data and overall better patient outcomes will remain at the core of the Polyanalgesic Consensus Conference."
About the 2011 Polyanalgesic Consensus Conference

About Azur Pharma
Azur Pharma is a privately held pharmaceutical company dedicated to enhancing patients' lives by developing and marketing pharmaceutical products in specialist therapeutic areas. Azur's strategy is to identify, evaluate, selectively acquire and enhance the value of late stage development and approved pharmaceutical products. (website: www.azurpharma.com)
About PRIALT(R) (ziconotide intrathecal infusion)
On December 28, 2004, the FDA approved PRIALT for the management of severe chronic pain in patients for whom IT therapy is warranted, and who are intolerant of or refractory to other treatments, such as systemic analgesics, adjunctive therapies, or IT morphine. PRIALT is approved for use only in the Medtronic SynchroMed(R) EL, SynchroMed(R) II Infusion System and the CADD-Micro(R) ambulatory infusion pump.
Mechanism of Action
PRIALT is in a class of non-opioid analgesics known as N-type calcium channel blockers (NCCBs). PRIALT is the synthetic equivalent of a naturally-occurring conopeptide found in a marine snail known as Conus magus. Research in animals suggests that the mechanism of action of PRIALT works by targeting and blocking N-type calcium channels on nerves in the spinal cord that ordinarily transmit pain signals.
Dosing and Administration
PRIALT is administered through microinfusion devices (pumps) delivering the drug into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. Typically, these pumps are implantable, programmable, variable rate microinfusion devices, but external pumps may be used for initial or shorter-term treatment. The current dosing and titration schedule for PRIALT was optimized based on the final phase III pivotal trial. In the slow titration study, the initial dosing was lowered and the rate of titration was reduced in both frequency and dosage increments compared with previous clinical trials. Treatment should be initiated at a delivery rate of 2.4 mcg/d (0.1 mcg/h) or less. Titration increments should be 2.4 mcg/d or less, and increases should be made 1, 2, or no more than 3 times per week. FDA approval of PRIALT was based on the treatment of more than 1,200 patients included in the 3 phase III trials, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of PRIALT in patients with severe chronic pain that was not adequately managed with a regimen of systemic and/or IT analgesic and other drugs. These trials involved a variety of patient populations, including patients with pain related to failed back surgery, cancer, AIDS, and non-malignant causes.
Safety Profile
PRIALT has been evaluated as an IT infusion in more than 1,200 patients participating in chronic pain trials.
Severe psychiatric symptoms and neurological impairment may occur during treatment with PRIALT. Patients with a pre-existing history of psychosis should not be treated with PRIALT. All patients should be monitored frequently for evidence of cognitive impairment, hallucinations, or changes in mood or consciousness. PRIALT therapy can be interrupted or discontinued abruptly without evidence of withdrawal effects in the event of serious neurological or psychiatric signs or symptoms.
Because PRIALT is a non-opioid, it does not react with opiate receptors and does not potentiate opiate-induced respiratory depression. Dosage titration can be tailored to patient needs without the risk of dependency or tolerance. The most frequently reported adverse events (greater-than-or-equal-to 25%) in clinical trials (N=1,254) were dizziness, nausea, confusional state and nystagmus. In the slow titration PRIALT study (N=220), asthenia, ataxia, CK increase, abnormal gait, confusion, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, memory impairment, nausea, somnolence, and vomiting were the most commonly reported AEs in the PRIALT group (³10%).

Real Racing 3 launches in North America tomorrow, and fans won't need to drop a single red cent on the third installment of Firemonkeys' console-quality racer if they don't want to. That'll free them up to spend $100 on the special Real Racing 3 edition of SteelSeries Flux headset.
I can't recall another mobile game release that was accompanied by pricey peripherals, so excuse me while I roll around in the novelty of it all. EA's high hopes for the first free-to-play, microtransaction-heavy entry in the Real Racing franchise are reflected in this headset's shiny custom ear plates.
The Flux is a lovely headset—I said as much when I handled it during the Guild Wars 2 launch. It's also highly customizable, so all SteelSeries and EA had to do here is slap on a fresh pair of decals and call it a day. The engines of your rides in the Android or iOS version of the game will sound lovely, and you'll have proven your loyalty to the Real Racing brand. Surely someone out there has that much loyalty.
The Real Racing 3 Flux Headset is available now for $99.99.
