NewPublicHealth Q&A: Florence Fulk and Tami Thomas-Burton on the Impact of the Environment on Health
Sep 25, 2013, 1:25 PM
Florence Fulk, MS, BS, a research biologist with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Tami Thomas-Burton, BS, MPH, of the Office of the Regional Administrator-Environmental Justice at EPA, will be speaking at the National Health Impact Assessment meeting this week on HIAs and environmental policy. NewPublicHealth caught up with Fulk and Thomas-Burton ahead of the conference to ask about EPA's use of health impact assessments.
NewPublicHealth: What steps has the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) taken with respect to health impact assessments?
Florence Fulk: Within EPA is the Office of Research and Development, and within that office we have a Sustainable and Healthy Communities Research Program which is providing tools, models and approaches to support HIAs across the country. We're also demonstrating HIA as an approach to integrate and weigh tradeoff in community decision making.
NPH: Why is the EPA investing in health impact assessments?
Fulk: The primary vision for the Sustainable and Healthy Communities Research Program is to inform and empower communities to look at human health, economic and environmental factors in their decision making, and to do it in a way that fosters community sustainability. And that vision is very closely linked to the values and the function of HIAs. The number of HIAs that are being conducted in the United States and the number of people that are conducting HIAs in the United States has formed this growing community of practice, which can inform our Sustainable and Healthy Communities Research Program by understanding the decisions that communities are facing and how they're bringing health, economic and environmental information to the process.
We also see that by growing a community of practice as a network to disseminate EPA tools, models, data and guidance, the research that we do to support HIAs also gives us a way to raise awareness about sustainable alternatives in community decisions.
NPH: What are some examples of HIAs being conducted or funded by EPA?
Tami Thomas-Burton: This is the first time the EPA is leading a health impact assessment and we're really excited about that within the agency. We have two projects right now. One is in Atlanta, Georgia, and the other one is in Springfield, Massachusetts. Both of the health impact assessments are in the assessment phase of the process. In Atlanta the HIA is on a green infrastructure project where we're trying to bring revitalization to a community and also address some flooding concerns. The Springfield project is a school renovation in an environmental justice community of concern, as is Atlanta.
NPH: What do you hope that people will learn about the EPA at the HIA meeting this week that they didn't know before?
Fulk: We'll be presenting on several different areas at the meeting. One is about a health impact assessment by the Office of Research and Development and our presentation is on the view from the collaborative nature. We have a number of stakeholders, a number of different federal agencies and community organizations. I think attendees will see it as a great model of collaboration. We'll also be talking about the many benefits of green infrastructure approaches such as solving water issues, as well as other direct and indirect benefits. And we'll also be showcasing three of EPA's Office of Research and Development's web-based tools that will be free and open to the public that will provide a lot of information to support health impact assessments at the community level.
Thomas-Burton: And just one thing to add is that we have another session where we will be talking about EPA's interaction with the National Prevention Council and the National Prevention Strategy. We're going to talk about our commitment to the National Prevention Strategy action plan. Facilitating health impact assessments is one of EPA's commitments. We promised, in the action plan, to conduct research and produce data and methods and approaches and provide individuals, communities and tribes with user-friendly tools.

The more traditional type of memory stick, the PD18 is neat and compact, with one small innovation that is rather pleasing: it comes with a rubber bung on the keyring, so when the drive is plugged into a PC, you can keep the sleeve attached so it doesn't get lost.
Other than this, it's a pretty standard USB drive. And while 2GB worth of speedy ReadyBoost-ready storage is nice, the sleeve is a little loose on the drive itself, and can easily come off in your pocket, so we can't recommend it above better models.

The Word of God in the Hands of Man
from R.C. Sproul Apr 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt was many years ago when my grandmother related to me games that she played as a little girl in the 1880s. One game she mentioned was one that she and her Methodist girlfriends played with their Roman Catholic friends. In a playful jest of the words of the Mass, my grandmother would say, "Tommy and Johnny went down to the river to play dominoes." Here the word dominoes was a play on the use of the term Domine that occurred so frequently in the Catholic rite of the Mass. The children, of course, were revealing their lack of knowledge of the words of the Mass because they were spoken in Latin. Keep Reading

She was concerned that her oldest son, a page in the court of Charles the Bald, would understand what it means to be a godly man. Dhouda's Handbook for William contained wise counsel to her son concerning the necessity of daily prayer, his conduct in public worship, and the importance of his reverence in prayer, in worship, and in all of life.

Media Bias and the Resurrection of Jesus
from R. Fowler White Apr 06, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe military of ancient Rome really blew it. When it came to the resurrection of Jesus, the troops who guarded his tomb could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble by just giving up his dead body. One problem: they never did. They didn't because they couldn't. And they couldn't because, despite what you may have read, the resurrection of Jesus was and is a well-attested fact, perhaps the best-attested fact of antiquity.

Ever since he's been in the spotlight, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has endured everything from total tongue-lashings to teasing galore about his weight. He clearly has a healthy sense of humor about it, even going so far as to jokingly nosh on a doughnut during a sit-down with Letterman recently. But yesterday, he decided to fire back at one of his critics: Connie Mariano -- who was President Bill Clinton's White House doctor and retired Navy rear admiral. Mariano randomly volunteered her opinion on his health this week in a CNN interview, saying, "I'm a physician more than I'm a Democrat or a Republican. And I'm worried about this man dying in office." To that, Christie had to say ... "She should shut up!"
Ouch! While I think there was a slightly more diplomatic/less Jersey way of putting it, I have to agree with the governor. Where does this woman get off?!
Christie elaborated his case:
I find it fascinating that a doctor in Arizona who's never met me, never examined me, never reviewed my history or medical records, knows nothing about my family history could make a diagnosis from 2,400 miles away. She must be a genius.
For. Real. Worse yet, the governor noted that his 12-year-old son came to him after hearing the blip on the news ... "He said, 'Dad, are you going to die?' I mean, c'mon. This is irresponsible stuff," Christie remarked. Yes, yes, it is.
But Mariano defended herself by saying, "It doesn't take a physician to look at him and observe that he's overweight." True. In fact, he looks obese, really. But what does that even MEAN? It's truly shameful that despite being a supposedly licensed physician, Mariano is no better than the general, ignorant public that runs around thinking they know everything about Governor Christie's health, crying, "That guy's fat! He can't run for public office, because he's too fat! He must be unhealthy! He must be headed for a heart attack!" What do they know?
No matter what we think, we can't know for sure what's going on with someone's physical or mental health just by looking at them. Yes, Governor Christie's overweight -- that's obvious. But as recent research has showed, being overweight doesn't necessarily mean what we think it does. It doesn't necessarily mean heart risk or an early death. There are overweight people who are healthier than thin ones.
No one knows how healthy or unhealthy Christie is other than him, his actual doctor, and his nearest and dearest. And to make a judgment call or diagnosis attempt of anyone's personal situation without having actually examined them or their medical records, as Christie noted, is just plain irresponsible.
What do you think about the doctor's comments? Are you with her or Christie?

Sometimes, movies will inspire you to drink a beer better than any commercial. Every now and then, a movie scene will inspire you to hit the pause button and dash to your fridge for your favorite brew.
In honor of this, we've compiled a set of classic beer-drinking movie scenes to remind you how movies and beer are the perfect pairing.
Of course, there is another category of movie that makes you want to reach for a beer because it's so bad, but we'll leave that for another day.

After School Program
About the Program
The Brea Community Center offers a comprehensive after school program (ASP) for elementary aged students during the academic school year. Every day includes plenty of energetic fun with opportunities for kids to play sports, do crafts, or compete in video or board games. In addition, the Center Café sells snacks to help fuel a crowd of active kids. Once everyone has taken time out for having some fun, there is also a designated study hall time set aside. Students can tackle their school assignments and get extra homework assistance if they have questions.
The Brea Community Center is an open, durable space that easily accommodates all this ASP variety. It features specialized areas for program options like cooking, art, or music. Plus, with a full-sized gymnasium, there is plenty of room to contain active exercise in a safe environment or gather for a group presentation. The trained staffers do more than just keep a watchful eye, they engage with kids to build positive relationships. The staff even meets kids from nearby Laurel School and walks them over to the center each day. Through the years, this important service has been a tremendous community benefit by giving working parents a sense of comfort knowing that their children enjoy quality care while they remain on the job.
The ASP program offers an outstanding value with an annual fee averaging much less than the cost of two months elsewhere. Several payment options are available to help ease overall back to school expenses.
This hugely popular program always fills to capacity. Act now to apply for a space. Participant registration must be done in person by a parent or guardian at the Community Center front desk. A parent packet is presented to outline more detail.
Annual registration is only $660* if paid in full, upfront. Two auto-debit payment plans are offered with a $20 service fee. Payments can be as low as $80 per month.
(*Non-resident pays $760 for upfront; $780 for payment plan.)
For additional information, call 714 990-7179 or send an email.
On days when the school district is not in session for teacher conferences or those in-between holidays, parents who still need to be at work may find that Kid Care Solutions can handle their day care needs.

Not everyone notices
As things drift slowly in and out of focus.
Being in the theatre is more important than knowing what is going on in the movie.
The sound in the theatre is very loud.
It builds up beacause it can't get out of the theatre.
The actors talk.
We can still hear what they said a minute ago.
This happens in any closed room - sound never leaves it.
If someone goes out to get some soda or popcorn.
Some conversations escape as they leave and enter the lobby.
When the movie's over.
And everyone leaves the theatre.
The accumulated sound leaves with them
And spreads out across the parking lot
To become forever part of the landscape
The film is a gift to the surrounding community.

Orthodox Church
The Orthodox Church has 225 million members worldwide and 6 million members in North America. In North Carolina, the church is represented by the Greek Orthodox Church and, to a lesser extent, the Russian Orthodox Church. From 1900 until about 1920-paralleling the nation's "third wave" of immigration-the number of Greek and Russian immigrants to the state increased. Orthodox churches were subsequently established, beginning in about 1905 with a Greek Orthodox Church in Asheville. Some 30 years later, the number of Greek Orthodox churches in the state had grown to three, with a total membership of about 400 communicants. By the early 2000s there were about 1,000 members altogether in Greek Orthodox churches in several metropolitan areas, including Asheville, Burlington, Charlotte, Durham (which traces the Parish of Saint Barbara from 1945), Fayetteville, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem.
North Carolina was, for many years, home to the only Russian Orthodox Church in the South-Saints Peter and Paul, formed in 1932 in St. Helena, a small Pender County community. In that year, on land acquired from Wilmington real estate promoter Hugh MacRae, the tiny red brick church began with 15 charter members and their families. By 2006 Russian Orthodox congregations could be found in the Piedmont and Mountains as well as the Coastal Plain, in the form of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Durham and St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Fletcher.

News from the world of Maths
If the Olympics weren't enough for you, then you're in for another elevn days of top-performance sport: the Paralympic Games will open tonight.
The British Science Festival comes to Aberdeen this year from 4th to 9th September. It's the largest annual public science event in Europe. This year's theme is Energising minds — and there's plenty of maths on offer to energise yours.
This week the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming (ISMP) took place in Berlin. It's the world congress of mathematical optimisation, which drew over 2,000 scientists and members of industry to Germany's capital. But what exactly were they talking about?
Never afraid of a challenge, before the start of the London 2012 Games we issued predictions for the total medal count for the top 20 countries. Find out how we did.
The beautiful game has been saved for last at London 2012, with the men's gold medal match taking place on Saturday, the penultimate day of the Games. There are some important questions to ponder while we sit tight in anticipation for the final match. What's the best strategy for taking a penalty kick? When is it worth committing a professional foul? And when is a goal not a goal? Find out about all this and more with our impressive collection of football articles.
It's a great day for individual dressage today with the Grand Prix freestyle test taking place in Greenwich Park. It's amazing how those horses can perform elegant and complicated movements without getting their legs in a muddle. Coming to think of it, it's amazing that they can even go through their innate gaits without getting their legs in a muddle, given that there's four of them and they are very long. And what about animals who've got even more legs?
Today the men's table tennis teams will be battling for gold. Table tennis first became an Olympic sport in 1988, but changed its scoring system in 2001 to make matches more exciting for spectators. But how do the old and new scoring systems compare in terms of favouring skill versus luck?
It's the very last medal day for track cycling! If you've been watching, you might have noticed the steep banks of the elegant wooden cycling track. And you may have been impressed by the sweeping curved roof and beautiful cedar clad exterior of the Velodrome, the first of the 2012 London Olympic venues to be completed.

Russian Machine Never Breaks: The Party
What makes a good party? Drink specials, good food, and great friends. If you throw in a sashed pageant-winner, signed Caps gear, and the lovely facilities of Front Page Arlington, you're entering Great Party territory. That's RMNB's First Year Party for you.
Here are the deets. At 6PM, the doors of our party will open to the huddled masses. Hopefully, we'll keep everyone properly entertained until 12:30am – or whenever Michael Jenkins shows up and saves us after SportsNite. This party is an all-ages affair, but attendees under the age of 21 will have their hands X'ed in classic D.C. tradition.
There will be no underage drinking at the party. Front Page is doing us a solid by letting us hang out, so we're going to follow their rules. Besides, we can't have people thinking our readers are a bunch of loudmouthed buffons. That's our reputation, and we've worked too hard to let you usurp it.
Front Page is gracious enough to let us occupy the Back Bar and the Atrium as well. Let's show them the proper respect for allowing us to run our victory lap in their fine establishment. Would have been a lot more fun if we had a Stanley Cup with us…
How about the food? The Front Page has created a special burger just for the party. For $9.99, you will be able to eat the Ovie Burger, which I can only assume will include Russian Dressing, 8 pickles & a spicy dipping sauce made from the tears of Max Talbot. If you're saving your hard-earned money for the raffle, the Front Page will also be offering Happy Hour specials until 8pm. Check it out:

Shinanoya is a well-known food & spirits importer / retailer in Japan. They gained quite a reputation by selecting excellent casks and have them bottled exclusively for the Japanese market (the BenRiach 1976 cask #3029 to name just one).
At the Whisky Festival 2012 in Tokyo, Shinanoya presented a new bottling of Karuizawa 1981 as well as this Hanyu 2000, bottled for their 5th Anniversary. It's the third release in their acclaimed The Game series which contains only Hanyu from the final year of production.
The spirit was finished for three and a half year in an experimental hogshead with Red Oak ends. Red Oak (Quercus Rubra) is rarely used for whisky casks as the oak has very open pores in the growth rings. In white oak they are filled with tyloses but in red oak they are wide open so casks have a tendency to leak.
Hanyu 12 yo 2000 (57,5%, Ichiro's Malt for Shinanoya 2012, red oak heads hogshead finish, cask #360, 309 btl.)
Nose: a very powerful nose, spicy but also quite sweet and fragrant. There's vanilla, sugar coated nuts and herbal honey, a distinct biscuity aroma and even faint marshmallow notes. Coconut oil. A little plum compote. Plenty of furniture polish and hints of cigar boxes, the whole is oaky but beautifully so. Lots of mint and eucalyptus notes which balances the sweetness nicely. Some white pepper and a faint hint of smoke in the background.
Mouth: again quite powerful, slightly hot even. It shows a malty sweetness, plum eau-de-vie and chocolate notes first, before moving towards slightly more earthy flavours, herbs and a peppery sharpness. Some tobacco leaves. Nutmeg as well. Water seems to kill part of the sweetness and puts emphasis on the herbal, slightly bitter notes.
Finish: long, fairly dry, very herbal. Nicely balanced by a warm vanilla afterglow.
A great release, powerful and elegant at the same time. Very rich, especially if you consider the age. Around 9000 yen, that's € 80, excellent value but now sold out. Sample provided by Nonjatta.
Score: 90/100

Possible benefits of high Omega-3s are seen in the prevention of cancer, reversal of the aging process, and the prevention of many degenerative diseases of aging.
Sturgeon Bay, WI (PRWEB) June 20, 2013
Many health benefits have been noted from diets rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, according to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin Chiropractor and Naturopath Dr. J G Moellendorf, DC, ND, LCP. Recent research has been looking into the cellular mechanisms that result in increased health and decreased disease.
Researcher Janice Kiecolt-Glaser and her team at the Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus have studied the health benefits of Omega-3s for years. They recently published a paper titled Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Oxidative Stress, and Leukocyte Telomere Length: a Randomized Controlled Trial. A double-blinded (neither the tester nor the subjects, only the researcher, know who received the treatment and who received the placebo) four month trial was done with 106 middle-aged or older adults, averaging 51 years old. The participants were determined to be disease free with very little reported stress, ranging from mildly overweight to very obese, and having a sedentary lifestyle (spend most of their day sitting). Those on medication for mood control, cholesterol, or blood pressure, along with diabetics, smokers, vegetarians, those routinely taking fish oil, exercising vigorously over 2 hours per week, or having a body mass index below 22.5 (mid-range normal) or over 40 (very severely obese) were excluded from the trial.
The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group received 2500 milligrams of Omega-3 fatty acids daily, the second group received 1250 milligrams of Omega-3 fatty acids daily, and the third group received a placebo containing the equivalent proportions of fatty acids (high in Omega-6s) seen in the typical pro-inflammatory American diet.
Both groups taking the Omega-3 fatty acids showed a 15% decrease in oxidative stress F2 isoprostanes, which are blood markers for free-radical cellular damage. Interleukin-6, a blood marker for pro-inflammatory cytokines, was 10-12% lower than those taking the placebo.
The lengthening of DNA telomeres in the immune cells was also noted in the groups taking the Omega-3 fatty acids. Telomeres are short DNA fragment "caps" at the end of DNA strands which protect chromosomes from deteriorating or fusing to neighboring chromosomes. This has a large impact on cellular aging, as shorter telomeres are related to age-related diseases and early death.
The telomeres shorten every time a cell divides which limits the number of divisions, thereby setting a limit on a cell's lifespan. Organs begin to deteriorate as more cells die off. Shorter telomeres are related to an increase in cancer, increased risks of degenerative diseases, and earlier death.
The greatest telomere lengthening was seen among those with the lowest Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio. Possible benefits of high Omega-3s are seen in the prevention of cancer, reversal of the aging process, and the prevention of many degenerative diseases of aging such as heart and cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's, along with improvement in inflammatory disorders such as arthritis.
While Omega-3 fatty acids may not be the fountain of youth, they are a useful nutritional intervention in reducing the triad of inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune cell aging which are the forerunners of many degenerative health problems and aging. According to Kiecolt-Glaser's research, between 1250 and 2500 milligrams per day of Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial in adults.

Coyote Mud Bogs
Coyote Mud Bog Memorial Day Bash
When our good buddy Robert Pigue from PlanB-Fab calls us about an upcoming mega-truck, we know it's time to pack our gear and hit the road. PlanB-Fab hosted a mega-truck mud race at Coyote Mud Bog in Astatula, FL over the Memorial Day weekend but the holiday didn't stop these drivers from hauling their rigs to the park. Mega truck drivers are some of the most hardcore four-wheelers in the industry, so a three day weekend just means more time behind the wheel which in turns makes them better drivers.
When we pulled through the gates in the badass Mud Life Super Duty, everyone knew the media had arrived and we heard 1,000-hp engines starting firing up left and right. This event had a great turn out of both spectators and racers which we expected at a great place like this. The race track at Coyote is specifically set up for the mega truck drivers to put on one hell of a show for the fans in attendance. The sun was out in full force putting out a nearly 95-degree temperature so we headed over to Shawn Mccreery's booth and had a sample some of his amazing new alcoholic Tropical Popsicles. These handmade frozen drinks on a stick were just what we needed on a hot steaming Florida day. We can't wait till their next event but enough with the chit chat, check out these badass shots the Mud Life Crew captured for our fans to enjoy! Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Mud Life Magazine and thanks for everything you do!

Q. Can I take Opaz with domperidone?
Opaz can be safely taken with domperidone as no harmful effects have been reported clinically. A fixed-dose combination of these two medicines is also available.

Opaz belongs to the group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This drug decreases the acid production in your stomach and is indicated for the treatment of conditions caused by excess acid secretion in the stomach.
Q. Can Opaz cause subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus?
Opaz has been reported to cause subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus in many studies. Common signs and symptoms of this disease include painful joints, tiredness, weakness, rash, fever, anemia, mouth ulcers, hair loss, and many others and these may get aggravated again and again. Talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects as you may need to discontinue this medicine.
Q. Can I take Opaz with ondansetron?
Ondansetron is an anti-emetic medicine which helps in relieving nausea (feeling sick) or vomiting. No harmful effects have been seen when Opaz is used with ondansetron. So, these two medicines can be taken together.
Q. Can Opaz cause lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance has been reported with the use of Opaz in some patients. Many Opaz preparations contain lactose as an ingredient. This is a digestive problem in which the patient cannot digest lactose, a type of sugar mainly found in milk and dairy products. The patient may complain of symptoms like flatulence (gas), diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain and feeling of being sick (nausea). Read the ingredients mentioned on the pack before taking the medicine.
Q. Can I take Opaz with Vitamin E?
Opaz can be taken with vitamin E. The combinations seems to have a beneficial effect in terms of better maintenance of moderate to severe esophagitis. However, there are not many studies or reports on this subject. Talk to your doctor for more information on this.
Q. Can I take Opaz with levosulpiride?
Opaz can be safely taken with levosulpiride as no harmful effects have been reported clinically. A fixed-dose combination of these two medicines is also available. Levosulpiride works by increasing the gut motility and Opaz decreases the acid production in the stomach. So, this combination is very effective in the treatment of reflux esophagitis associated with acidity, heartburn, intestinal and stomach ulcers.
Q. Does Opaz use increase the risk of clostridium difficile infection?
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Opaz may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile–associated diarrhea (CDAD) as reported in few studies and informed by the US FDA as well. A possibility of CDAD can be there in patients taking PPIs and developed diarrhea that does not improve.
Q. Can Opaz be used in cancer patients?
Opaz can be taken by cancer patients as prescribed by a doctor. Since cancer patients may also take many other medicines for the primary cancer treatment or for other symptoms and infections, there are chances of drug interactions with Opaz.
Q. For how long can Opaz be taken?
Take Opaz for as long as advised by your doctor. The duration of taking Opaz would vary depending on your condition. Do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor.
Q. Can Opaz cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Opaz can cause osteoporosis (thinning of bones) as it decreases the calcium absorption leading to calcium deficiency. This leads to an increased risk of bone fractures on long-term use, like hip, wrist or spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (these can increase the risk of osteoporosis) before starting your therapy. Take enough calcium and vitamin D to reduce the risk.
Q. What are the rare side effects of Opaz?
Rare side effects seen with the use of Opaz includes a decrease in white cells or platelets, allergic reactions, problems like blurred vision, wheezing, shortness of breath (bronchospasm), dry mouth, thrush, liver problems like jaundice, hair loss (alopecia), skin rash on exposure to sunshine, joint pains (arthralgia) or muscle pains (myalgia), severe kidney problems (interstitial nephritis), increased sweating and inflammation of the gut causing diarrhoea.
Q. How does Opaz work?
Proton (acid) pumps are found on the stomach mucosa and they are responsible for secreting acid in the stomach. Opaz works by blocking this gastric acid pump and this unique mechanism of action helps in decreasing the acid secretion in the stomach.
Q. Does Opaz cause hepatitis B and can a patient of hepatitis take Opaz?
Opaz can rarely cause hepatitis with or without jaundice and very rarely it can lead to hepatic failure and encephalopathy in patients with the underlying liver disease. Opaz does not cause hepatitis B or any other viral hepatitis. However, there are studies showing an increased occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy in hepatitis B patients using PPIs. These medicines should be used with caution in patients with the underlying liver disease.
Q. Does Opaz increase chromogranin levels?
Use of proton pump inhibitors like Opaz has been seen to be associated with an increase in chromogranin levels. This increase in chromogranin levels can be due to the effect of these drugs on enterochromaffin cells and this could also falsely increase the levels in patients with neuroendocrine tumours.
Q. Does Opaz cause dementia?
Use of proton pump inhibitors like Opaz has been recently linked with the development of dementia in elderly patients. As this risk of developing dementia is not confirmed, talk to your doctor for more information on this effect.
Q. Does Opaz cause vitamin deficiencies?
Opaz may cause vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiency. When taken orally, vitamin B12 requires an acidic environment for its absorption from the stomach while Opaz causes a decrease the gastric acid secretion. You may need to take vitamin B12 supplements from outside. The clinical significance of the decrease in vitamin C levels is not known, so vitamin C supplementation is not recommended.
Q. Does Opaz have an expiry date?
Yes, Opaz does expire. Please check the expiry date written on the pack and it refers to the last day of that month. Do not use Opaz after the expiry date.
Q. What is the role of Opaz before endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding?
Opaz before endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding reduces the need for endoscopic therapy, the rate of post-endoscopy bleeding, and shortens hospital stays. Hence Opaz is given before endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.
Q. Are there any withdrawal symptoms associated with the use of Opaz?
There are no withdrawal symptoms seen when patients stop using Opaz as it has no habit forming tendencies.
Q. Can Opaz cause magnesium deficiency?
Opaz can cause magnesium deficiency in the blood. Low magnesium levels is a rare side effect seen in patients treated with Opaz for at least three months and in most cases after a year of therapy. The patient may have symptoms like tetany, arrhythmias, and seizures and may need to stop this medicine and take magnesium from outside. Magnesium levels should be tested at regular intervals in the patients taking Opaz for a long duration.
Q. Is Opaz a controlled substance?
Opaz is not a controlled substance. It is available when prescribed by a doctor.
Q. Can Opaz be used in cardiac patients?
Patients with cardiac disease can take Opaz. However, Opaz can interact with certain drugs (e.g clopidogrel, digoxin) which might be used by a patient with an underlying cardiac disease. Patients taking Opaz and digoxin may need to be monitored for digoxin toxicity. Opaz decreases the activation of clopidogrel, thus reducing its effects. Patients taking these medicines together needs to be monitored closely by a doctor.
Q. Can the use of Opaz cause iron deficiency?
Use of Opaz can cause iron deficiency and a decrease in hemoglobin levels as it decreases the acidic environment of the stomach needed for the absorption of iron. However, there are no recommendations on the regular monitoring of iron levels or taking iron supplements when the patient is taking Opaz.
Q. Is Opaz a narcotic substance?
Opaz is a not a narcotic substance and has not been reported to have any abuse potential. Opaz does not get you high and does not cause any addiction as no withdrawal symptoms have been reported when you stop taking this drug.

Opaz is a prescription medicine and you can buy this drug by providing a doctor's prescription. Opaz is not available as an over the counter (OTC) product.
Q. How is Opaz metabolised in the body?
Opaz is metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 enzymes mainly CYP2C19. There could be an increase in the level of Opaz in patients with underlying liver disease because of a decrease in its metabolism. However, the amount of drug does not increase if given once a day.
Q. Can Opaz be used in stroke patients?
Opaz can be used in stroke patients. There are studies suggesting that proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) as a class are not associated with an increased short-term risk of recurrent stroke or death among older adults treated with clopidogrel after stroke.

"Are you really bringing Mary to Athens?"
My sister responds with a picture message of her cat sitting on the floor of her car.
She tells me she couldn't leave her at our dad's house, which I understand. It is far better for Mary to be an inconvenience than ignored.
Three hours later, Lea is in my apartment and Mary is settled. She scurries around the vicinity, taking in flashes of her new surroundings. It doesn't take long for her to become comfortable, and she darts into my room for a more thorough exploration.
But Claire sees her, and naturally, Mary has to approach any new being she encounters.
"Oh no. Why is there a cat in here?"
Minutes later, Lea spies Mary in Claire's arms.
Lea thinks that Mary was born erratic. Claire told me that since she's technically still a kitten, she's still in the phase where she wants to play with everything – and for her, playing is clawing and biting whatever comes her way. I say she experienced a somewhat terrifying event as a baby. Why else would she always be on the defense? Whatever the back-story may be, one cannot deny that there is something about Mary – it's just hard to determine whether this something is a good thing.
Despite the threat of attack that still exists after her recent declawing, you want to touch her more than anything.
You want to cuddle with her and hold her like a baby. You want to scratch her chin and feel her fur that's so soft you swear there's a rabbit gene somewhere in her chemistry. Getting to feel her fur for a number of seconds is worth whatever scratches and bite marks she inflicts on you – yes, she's that fluffy. She's so fluffy that she feels luxurious, and it doesn't even have to make sense.
She's so fluffy that she looks fat – she's actually very skinny, though, which was proved the time she decided to jump into the bathtub with my sister.
She holds a fascination with anything that is bathtub. If you shut her in the bathroom, the first thing Mary does is run to the ledge of the tub and hide between the shower curtain and its plastic liner. Always. She does it when I shut her in my bathroom before we leave. It is out of respect and precaution.
I have already been blamed for Mary's great escape in December. I am not about to put up with this demented animal's antics again.
She darts.
She invades spaces and claims new territories – atop a desk or buried away in a closet.
Earlier today I spied her trying to climb my coat.
She has taken a peculiar liking to a large Ziploc bag back home, and likes to lie inside it, face out, like she's inside a transparent sleeping bag. She's staring at my sister in the photo. She always stares.
I still don't understand how a creature without thumbs can warp this way.
But then again, I don't really understand much about her.
Late last night, I awoke to find her nestled beside my legs. She looked straight at me, her eyes yellow and wide like twin full moons.
She didn't race up to swat my face or pounce on my thigh when I turned. She just sat there and stared at me. She might have even been purring.
Mary and I had officially formed a bond.

Discipline is a Beautiful Thing
Many people have a go at mixed martial arts, the military, boxing… and things like that.
I take the opposite view.
Safety in mma and boxing is proven to be better than the nfl and rugby, and similar to hockey.
True, if a trained fighter beats the hell out of a civilian for looking at him sideways… or a president sends an army to level a population for oil or money… it is despicable, deplorable.
But that's a human and society problem, not a martial arts or military one. They are about being the best you can be – a path to discipline, confidence, and purpose. Great commodities.
For every thug that uses his skills to assault an innocent, there are thousands that were taken away from violence, gangs and drugs – and put in a positive direction.
The military and sports are also on the cutting edge in terms of learning and performance. These discoveries can then be brought to the wider public – for the betterment of mankind.
One of those areas is nutrition; an important key to mastering oneself.
Enter George Lockhart.
George was the nutrition specialist in the US marine core.
When operatives needed to fuel properly for missions, when they needed to cut weight or gain weight or increase performance… they would knock on George's door.
It wasn't long before word was spreading into the sporting arena.
MMA fighter and former marine Brian 'All American' Stann came to George Lockhart and asked him if he'd help him cut weight for his next fight.
They worked together, and Brian never found it easier to make weight or perform better. Then Jon Jones came to the party. Many more followed. The latest ones being Holly Holm and Conor McGregor, who describe GL as a genius.
That he is. He's not just the best in the MMA business, he's the best in the business.
I've never come across anyone who lays it out so well and so exactly.
He talks about three factors: Fueling the body with exactly what it needs when it needs it, staying ahead of hunger… and controlling hormones.
That way you're not fighting your body.
It doesn't react with hunger hormones or fat retaining hormones (in reaction to starvation and other problems).
The result is being able to eat good portions, at regular intervals… even when losing weight.
There is no ambiguity. You eat this at this time, in this amount… then this will happen over the next week. Boom.
'Your day is different today…' 'Okay, here's what you do'… down to the gram and the minute.
'Your workout will be 45 minutes and will be at this intensity'… 'Okay, here's exactly how you fuel it.'
Now there's a guy that knows his stuff. My kind of guy.
I've tried so many diets. Many were good. Some were revolutionary and worked like a charm… to a point.
But there was never a perfect solution. It was never comprehensive or exact enough… probably because they hadn't things wrapped down tight enough.
There were always some sort of concessions involved, usually to do with diminished purr-formance.
So I tried George's plan.
He created this software called FitnessVT. You log in your goal, your activity level for that day, your workouts etc.
And each morning you enter your weight before you eat. It spits out exact instructions for the day, as per his algorithms.
It takes all sorts of things into account, even down to balancing sodium/potassium and calcium/magnesium ratios, which play a role in performance, health and even weight loss.
You can swap foods you don't like or don't have, for similar ones.
It's just the thing I wanted for a long time. In four weeks I've burned 8 pounds of fat, without losing any muscle… and it was pretty easy. I hadn't much to lose, so it is even more impressive. I feel great and I know exactly what to do every step of the way, without having to work it out.
I can't recommend this higher, and believe me I don't recommend things lightly.
If you want to eat heartily, eat well and reach any weight, fat loss, muscle gain or performance goal… you've just found the solution.

P.S. Other than looking and feeling better than you ever have, here's what else you can look forward to: balanced hormones, increased anti-aging hormones, youthful skin, drastically reduced inflammation, increased energy, well being and better recovery.
It's no good abfabulising and buttsculpting like a fitness model if you're doing it via drugs or starvation. Eventually, it will all crumble. Even good diets, like intermittent fasting (when it is done correctly), ketogenic diets or carb backloading usually have some difficulties and/or concessions involved.
With this method, everything just gets better… it's totally sustainable and it works for every person – 100% of the time.
P.S.S. FitnessVT is so good that many elite fighters that work with George also comment that they just have to use the software and don't even need his personal assistance.
It's all they need. It's all you will ever need too.
Get on board today and it will change your life forever

In addition, Rakis and his wife were featured in a romantic ABC special after they got married in New York just a few days after the 9/11 attacks. [NY Post & Daily News]

This week's "In Our Times" Podcast delves into the wonders and mysteries of Romulus and Remus:
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Romulus and Remus, the central figures of the foundation myth of Rome. According to tradition, the twins were abandoned by their parents as babies, but were saved by a she-wolf who found and nursed them. Romulus killed his brother after a vicious quarrel, and went on to found a city, which was named after him.

Author Profile
Lindsay Beyerstein
Lindsay Beyerstein is an award-winning investigative journalist and In These Times staff writer who writes the blog Duly Noted. Her stories have appeared in Newsweek, Salon, Slate, The Nation, Ms. Magazine, and other publications. Her photographs have been published in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times' City Room. She also blogs at The Hillman Blog (http://www.hillmanfoundation.org/hillmanblog), a publication of the Sidney Hillman Foundation, a non-profit that honors journalism in the public interest.
Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Lindsay traveled to Boston to earn a Master's Degree in philosophy from Tufts University. After graduating from Tufts, Lindsay moved to New York City where she briefly worked in pharmaceutical advertising and started her blog Majikthise.
Majikthise was initially conceived as an amalgam of analytic philosophy and liberal politics. However, the politics gradually eclipsed the philosophy as Lindsay spent more and more of her time chronicling the abuses of the Bush administration. Eventually, Majikthise began supplementing her opinion writing with original reporting.
In 2005, Lindsay traveled to New Orleans to cover the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Later that year, her blog readers funded her live coverage of Tom DeLay's first court appearance in Austin, Texas on money laundering charges. Other major stories she has covered include the New York Transit Strike and the closing days of the Allen/Webb senate race in Virginia in the 2006 midterm elections.
In 2006 Lindsay quit her day job in advertising to pursue journalism full-time. She joined the investigative team at Raw Story as a national correspondent specializing in labor, immigration, and crime issues, and worked as a metro reporter for Chelsea Now.
Lindsay lectures regularly on blogging and journalism. In April 2007, she delivered the Richardson Memorial Lecture at the University of Gettysburg on the relationship between objectivity and journalism. She has also spoken to the National Organization for Women, the Center for American Progress, and other groups.

The more software you install on your computer, the longer it may seem to take to start up Windows. Many programs add themselves to the list of programs started when you boot your computer, and that list can get long.
Editor's Note: Obviously our more geeky readers already know how to do this, but this article is meant for everybody else. Feel free to share it with your non-techie friends!
Disabling Startup Programs in Windows
For some programs, it's smart to have them start with Windows, such as anti-virus and firewall software. However, for most programs, starting them at boot-up just wastes resources and extends startup time. There is a tool installed with Windows, called MSConfig, that allows you to quickly and easily see what's running at startup and disable the programs you prefer to run on our own after startup as needed. This tool is available and can be used to disable startup programs in Windows 7, Vista, and XP.
NOTE: MSConfig can be used to configure several things other than just startup programs, so be careful what you do with it. If you're not sure about using it, just follow the steps in this article and you should be fine.
To run MSConfig, open the Start menu and type "msconfig.exe" (without the quotes) in the Search box. As you type, results display. When you see "msconfig.exe," click on it or press Enter, if it is highlighted.
NOTE: If you are using Windows XP, open the Run dialog box from the Start menu, type "msconfig.exe" in the Open edit box, and click OK.
Click the Startup tab on the System Configuration main window. A list of all the startup programs displays with a check box next to each one. To prevent a program from starting up with Windows, select the check box next to the desired program so there is NO check mark in the box. Click OK once you have made your choices.
A dialog box displays telling you that you may need to restart your computer for the changes to take affect. Click Restart to restart your computer immediately. If are not ready to restart your computer, click Exit without restart.
The free PC-cleaning utility CCleaner also has a tool that allows you to disable startup programs. In CCleaner, click the Tools button on the left side of the dialog box and click Startup to see the list of startup programs. The Enabled column indicates whether each program is set to start with Windows. To disable a program that is enabled, select the program in the list and click Disable. You can also enable programs that have been disabled.
NOTE: CCleaner does not seem to prompt you to restart your computer, so be sure to do so yourself.
There is a version of CCleaner that costs $24.95 and comes with priority technical support. However, there is a free version available on their builds page as an installable version and a portable version.
Note that some applications need to be configured to stop launching themselves when the computer boots, or they will just add themselves to the list of startup programs again. In this case, there is usually a setting in a program's options to prevent it from starting with Windows.
We have also written about a tool called Soluto, which allows you to pause or delay startup programs to speed up the boot process.
