The Westside Care Center in Manchester is ranked among the best nursing homes in Connecticut, receiving a 'five-star' rating for overall quality under a federal rating system.
At the same time, Westside has the state's highest percentage of residents who receive antipsychotic drugs, even though they do not have a psychosis or related condition that regulators say warrants their use. Federal data shows 68 percent of Westside long-stay residents were receiving the drugs – more than double the state's average of 26 percent, which already ranks in the top-third of states nationally.
A C-HIT review of federal nursing home data from December found that Westside is not alone: High antipsychotic use, considered dangerous and unnecessary in many cases, does not impact quality ratings of nursing homes, and is often unknown to consumers selecting a home. In three-dozen Connecticut homes, at least a third of long-stay residents are on antipsychotics – yet nearly half of those homes have excellent overall ratings, of 4 to 5 stars. Only three have the lowest overall rating.
In addition, the state Department of Public Health has rarely imposed more than minimal fines on nursing homes for excessive or inappropriate use of antipsychotics, inspection records show.
Antipsychotic drugs are an important treatment for patients with certain mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia. But the Food and Drug Administration has warned that the drugs have potentially fatal side effects, including the risk of infections and cardiovascular complications, when used in elderly patients with dementia. Still, nursing homes use the drugs "off-label" to calm patients who are agitated or confused.
Concerned about the drugs' overuse, federal regulators last year announced a national initiative to slash their inappropriate use in nursing homes, saying that nearly 40 percent of residents with dementia were receiving the powerful sedatives even though they didn't have a condition that would warrant it. A 2011 report by the US Inspector General found that 83 percent of Medicare claims for antipsychotic drugs for nursing home patients were off-label, or for unapproved conditions.
Connecticut ranked in the top four states nationally from 2005-10 in administering antipsychotics to residents without appropriate diagnoses, and was the highest or second-highest nationwide in antipsychotic use among high-risk residents, federal data shows.
Even with recent efforts to curb the drugs' improper use, the state's prevalence rate of unapproved antipsychotic use remains high – 25.7 percent of long-stay nursing home residents, which is higher than 34 other states. Tennessee has the highest rate, at 30.1 percent; Alaska has the lowest rate, at 12.7 percent. The national average is 23.8 percent.
In conjunction with the federal initiative, health care advocates in Connecticut have formed a coalition -- coordinated by Qualidigm, a Medicare quality-improvement organization -- to reduce antipsychotic use. The group is working to educate nursing home providers about the risks of using antipsychotics to treat dementia-related behaviors and to offer alternative interventions "instead of going straight to medications," said Ann Spenard, vice president of program operations for Qualidigm.
Antipsychotics provide, at best, "minimal benefits" for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, Spenard said. But in recent years, they have become a front-line treatment for agitation, aggression and other behaviors. Alternatives include consistent assignment of caregivers to patients, and behavioral interventions to eliminate anxiety "triggers" for residents, Spenard said. Continued...
"It's a big change," she said, noting that the drugs were widely marketed to elderly patients for dementia, despite FDA warnings. "It's like trying to turn the Queen Mary. It's not going to happen overnight." But she added, "I believe the state of Connecticut will be successful" in reducing the prevalence rate.
Toby Edelman, senior policy attorney for the Center for Medicare Advocacy, said the federal government's encouragement of alternative treatments for dementia is important, but tougher penalties for nursing homes that overuse the drugs also are needed.
"The other piece of this is stronger enforcement," she said. "If they misuse the drugs and have to pay a $139 fine, what do they care? It's the cost of doing business."
A review of three years of online inspection reports shows the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) routinely addresses findings that nursing homes have administered unnecessary drugs by imposing minimal fines. In only one case contained in online reports compiled by ProPublica did state inspectors characterize the violation as serious, defined as causing "harm," and none of the violations was found to place residents in "immediate jeopardy," the highest level of severity.
Nationally, citations against nursing homes for unnecessarily medicating patients are relatively rare: 1,213 instances in 2012, according to data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Of those, only 12 were classified as posing "immediate jeopardy."
"Almost everything is considered 'no harm,'" Edelman said. "How can improperly medicating someone, with all the risks involved, not be considered harmful?"
U.S. Health and Human Services Inspector General Daniel Levinson has proposed stronger state and federal penalties against homes that inappropriately use antipsychotics.
Wide Swings In Prevalence
The December data shows that more than half of Connecticut homes – 128 out of 233 -- were dispensing antipsychotics without appropriate diagnoses at rates exceeding the national average. In addition to Westside Care Center, three homes had rates double the national average: Grove Manor Nursing Home in Waterbury (58.7 percent), Kettle Brook Care Center in East Windsor (58.4 percent), and Silver Springs Care Center in Meriden (55.4 percent). Westside, Kettle Brook and Silver Springs are all run by iCare management.
Only one in four Connecticut homes has an antipsychotic prevalence rate below 20.3 percent, the national goal proposed by CMS. Continued...
The rate of off-label prescribing swings widely – from the high of 68 percent, to a low of about 7 percent. The lowest prevalence rates as of December were at Avalon Health Care Center at Stonebridge in Mystic (6.9 percent) and Southington Care Center (10.5 percent).
Federal standards for medication safety in nursing homes are high. Regulations mandate that residents not be started on the drugs unless antipsychotic therapy is "necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record." For patients who do require antipsychotics, facilities must make gradual dose reductions and behavioral interventions in an effort to discontinue the drugs.
Administrators of nursing homes with high rates say that regulators' rules governing the conditions warranting antipsychotics are too narrow, and that the drugs are sometimes needed to keep residents from harming themselves or others.
Janet Aliciene, administrator of Grove Manor, said the home's off-label antipsychotic use is high because many residents have serious mental health problems. She said no resident is placed on an antipsychotic without an order from an advanced practice registered nurse, who talks with a physician.
"We do have higher numbers, but that's because of our population," she said.
Darryl LeCours, administrator of Westside Care, questioned the official CMS data, saying the nursing home's "internal data reporting" showed off-label use of antipsychotics was about half of the prevalence reported by CMS, or 32.4 percent. He said the facility had significantly reduced off-label prescribing by "aggressive alternative treatments and collaboration" among medical, mental health and pharmacy staff. Also, he said, Westside residents have "a high prevalence of chronic mental illnesses."
At Avalon Health Care, with the lowest prevalence rate in the state, staff members actively work to find alternatives for residents with behavioral problems, said Tina Lipp, the home's MDS coordinator.
"We're definitely not high on antipsychotics. We don't like them," she said. She said Avalon's medical staff closely tracks residents' behavior to identify and eliminate triggers that may set off agitation or depression and works to wean residents off the drugs.
Whether staffing levels are a factor in the use of sedating medications in nursing homes is a subject of debate. The Connecticut data indicates a correlation: 75 percent of the 61 homes with the lowest prevalence of antipsychotic use reported high staffing levels -- 4 or 5 stars, under CMS' five-star rating system.
Avalon and Southington Care both provided more hours of care per resident, per day, than the statewide average of 1 hour and 35 minutes of care by licensed nursing staff, and 2 hours and 27 minutes of care by certified nursing assistants (CNAs). Avalon reported 2 hours and 17 minutes of care by nurses, and 2 hours and 30 minutes of care by CNAs. Continued...
Spenard and Michelle Pandolfi, director of consulting services for Qualidigm, said there is no evidence of a direct link between staffing levels and use of antipsychotics.
"We don't know. No one's done that research," Spenard said, adding that the key to effective alternatives is not just adding staff, but training them in interventions.
But Edelman said advocates believe that overmedication is "absolutely tied to insufficient staff. If there aren't enough people, and there's not consistent assignment, it's much less likely that the staff are going to know the patient and know how to care for the patient. Instead, you get cases where a patient is agitated, and the nurse calls and says, 'We need medication.'"
In some cases, nursing homes notify families when medications are added or changed; in others, families are not informed.
Paul Caron, a children's mental health counselor, helped to form a "family council" at the New Haven nursing home where his mother and father were residents, out of frustration over a lack of information. When he learned that both of his parents were put on antidepressants, he said his questions about side effects were rebuffed. At one meeting, he said, a nursing home clinician told him, "If you have questions about the medications, you should look them up on the Internet."
"If they don't involve family members, they can't get to know the patients - which is the one way they could reduce" the reliance on psychoactive drugs, he said.
Beyond The Stars
Despite the federal crackdown on off-label use, the antipsychotic rate is not factored into CMS' complex five-star rating system, which ranks homes on indicators that include nine quality of care measures, as well as staffing levels and inspections. That means that homes with high levels of antipsychotic use may still receive high ratings on CMS' Nursing Home Compare website, which offers information to consumers.
Twenty-five of the 36 Connecticut homes with the highest rates of antipsychotic use had high ratings on quality measures -- four or five stars, signifying above-average care. Only two had the lowest rating of one star. The nine indicators used in the quality ratings include incidences of pressure sores and urinary tract infections, but not antipsychotics.
In Connecticut, as in other states, nursing homes cited for unnecessarily medicating patients or not properly monitoring antipsychotics usually face minimal fines. For example, the DPH cited Hamden Health Care Center in 2010 for failing to identify any behaviors that justified the use of antipsychotics for three residents, including one who was simply "mad at family" and "wanting to go home." Similarly, last March, DPH inspectors cited Ledgecrest Health Care Center of Berlin for putting a resident on antipsychotics without proper justification and monitoring.
The two homes faced state fines of less than $750 each for violations including the medication lapses.
DPH spokesman William Gerrish said the agency is concerned about "the prevalence of antipsychotic medications administered to nursing home residents with no primary psychiatric diagnosis or related conditions" and supports CMS' reduction initiative.
The DPH reviews medication use as part of its survey process, he said, and the state's frequency of citing homes for lapses related to unnecessary drugs is higher than the regional or national averages. In addition to fines, the state requires homes to adopt corrective action plans when it finds deficiencies.
The DPH is actively participating in the Qualidigm-led coalition and sponsored a statewide training event in December that focused on initiatives to improve dementia care, Gerrish said. The coalition also is working with Connecticut's long-term care ombudsman program to educate nursing-home resident advocates about proper medication use.
In September, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and colleagues introduced a bill that aims to reduce off-label antipsychotic prescribing in nursing homes by requiring consent from family members, training staff in alternative treatments, and tightening reporting on the use of the drugs. Blumenthal called the excessive prescribing a form of "elder abuse."
Nursing home advocates say the extensive use of antipsychotics for elderly patients was fueled by drug companies' improper marketing of such off-label uses – a practice that the government has cracked down on in recent years.

Students react to Michigan State University professor who stripped naked
Several Michigan State University students received an eyeful and then some while walking down the hallway in the Engineering building — a calculus professor was sitting naked, leaning against the wall while police questioned him.
Campus police report that at 1:07 p.m. Monday afternoon, the professor, after appearing to have a nervous breakdown, removed all of his clothes except for his socks and started screaming obscenities at students. Students identified the professor as John McCarthy and said he was crying, screaming, "How can no one do anything right," and "There's no (expletive) God."
MSU police took the man into protective custody and transported him to a local hospital. He is not being charged with a crime, according to a statement posted on MSU's website.
The most disconcerting thing about the incident, reports a witness who wished to remain anonymous, is that it took 15 minutes for police to arrive. There also were reports McCarthy had acted oddly earlier in the semester but had not sought psychological counseling.
The news of Monday's incident quickly spread throughout the campus community.
Shortly after the incident, MSU junior Marc Alan Colcer, a graduate of Milford High School, said he received several text messages from fellow students — asking him if the rumors were true.
"At first I didn't believe it could be true because it just seemed so crazy and not believable," said Colcer. "But then the picture circulated of him in the hallway. I posted the picture on my Twitter account when I got it, and it started going viral."
Although Colcer was not in the Engineering building at the time of the incident, the picture Colcer posted of McCarthy on his Twitter account was retweeted 141 times and was referenced in the New York Daily News.
The photograph was first posted on Reddit by a student who witnessed the incident firsthand. The student wrote, "I was in Calc 1 at Michigan State University, and my teacher was always pretty eccentric, but today he went overboard. Half way through class he started screaming at us, swearing left and right. He then started slamming his hands on the window and pressing his face against it, still screaming. Eventually he walked out and down the hallway to the end, all while screaming. He then came back into the classroom and took off his clothes, except for his socks."
Colcer said several students think the incident is funny. But, for him, he just hopes McCarthy receives the help he needs. Continued...
"What caused a professor who had taught for so long to snap? If he did have mental issues, shouldn't MSU have known about this? What can be done to make sure this never happens again?" said Colcer.
McCarthy, who received his doctoral degree in mathematics from Columbia University in 1983, has taught at MSU for 28 years.
On the teacher rating website ratemyprofessor.com, McCarthy was given a "poor quality" rating.
One commenter called him the worst teacher in the education profession and said, "I would have rather had an ape take my money."

Multicolor bracelets will continue to be a top pick for celebrities and fashion luminaries during this year's Academy Award ceremony, SilverTribe's Chris Anderson predicts.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) February 22, 2013
While the film buffs are busy making their predictions over which movie will score big at the Oscars, the fashion community is waiting in anticipation of seeing what styles will rule the red carpet.
"I'm expecting to see a lot of multicolor bracelets as part of red carpet ensembles this year," said Chris Anderson, spokesperson for leading online retailer SilverTribe. "I'm sure when we all tune in February 24, we'll see some of our favorite celebrities sporting beautiful multicolor jewelry."
Anderson added that the company has witnessed the demand for multicolor bracelets and turquoise jewelry spike after celebrities make public appearances wearing those styles.
"It's not hard to see why so many people are captivated by this stunning style of jewelry," Anderson said. "It reflects the diverse history of the United States as well as the impeccable craftsmanship of the artists who create these pieces."
Notable turquoise enthusiasts include Kate Hudson, who is a dedicated collector of turquoise. Heidi Klum also took to the red carpet in 2012, showing off her turquoise necklace during the Golden Globes.
"Expect to see a little more color on the red carpet this year," Anderson said. "I think 2013 is going to be the year of multicolor bracelets."
Multicolor fashion is as distinctive as it is beautiful, and is crafted in many different styles using high quality material and stones, such as sterling silver and turquoise. SilverTribe offers high quality jewelry at great prices.
Now, shoppers can find stunning examples of SilverTribe's beautiful bracelets on Amazon, offering customers yet another way to find a great deal on the most sought after styles on the market.
SilverTribe's multicolor bracelets are perfect for any occasion, not just the red carpet.

ADAMS, Mass. — Four candidates will be vying for two vacant seats on the Board of Selectmen. Nomination papers were due Monday and Richard Blanchard, Joseph Nowak, Donald Sommer and Michael Young have all returned papers to be on the ballot. They have until April 3 to withdraw their nominations.
That's one short of last year, in which five candidates tried for two seats. The race also ensures new faces on the board — albeit Sommer has served before. The two three-year seats available are those that had been held by Paula Melville and Scott Nichols. Melville resigned from the board last year and Nichols has opted not to run for

Election Results BECKET, Mass. — The town held its annual town meeting on Saturday, May 8. Only 74 of the town's 1,261 registered voters were in attendance. Voters approved a total municipal budget of just over $4.5 million. The town's assessment to the Central Berkshire Regional School District was also approved at nearly $2.1 million. The town's vocational budget of $264,000 was also given voter approval on Saturday.
Also of interest, voters did not approve the expansion of the town's select board from three to five members. They also turned away an article that would have made the town clerk's position an appointed position instead of an elected one as it is now.

FC Koeln highlights. http://eurorivals.net/bayer-leverkusen:fc-koln-highlights-goals-video_20110917.html
Womens International Friendly. vs Le plus malheureux du Canada. Vous êtes perdu. Canadienne pauvres. rire
I take it you all saw Torres miss the open goal on Sunday. Poor fellah, its not really going to plan for him at Chelsea is it. I reckon if Shamrock Rovers made a bid for him of fifty thousand euro, Chelsea might be happy
Thank you. Bundesbiers helped me to the top of the Sandolfistan league table. It was a good weekend for Al Abbas, but a weekend of miserable results otherwise except for the B.C. Lions and Fortuna. City drew Fulham after leading 2-0. Kickers lost to the Fürth reserves. Likely I will not need to detail what happened to the Chargers.
Your welcome sir. Haha... I had no idea since I was on a plane on Sunday. Missed the whole Red's v Blues game. Fortuna D'dorf had a good win so that was good. I have a question for you regarding teams like Fürth II, Mainz o5 II, 1899 Hoffenheim II. I'll think how I need to word it and get back to you.
Torres got a brilliant through ball... deked left around the charging keeper and just had to cut it back with his left foot into the empty net. Looks like he got a half ball contact and it skidded off wide left.
Got it. Read this link in the meantime for a bit of background info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3._Liga
Interesting... this answered one of my questions. So for example... Let's say Mainz 05 II was in the 3. Liga, and they finished in the top 3, gaining promotion to the 2. Liga. However, if in the same year Mainz 05 finished in the bottom 3, thus having to be relegated to the 2. Liga, Mainz 05 II could not get the promotion after all.
Reserve teams cannot be promoted to the 2. Liga. Verboten. If Mainz 05 is in the 2. Liga and get relegated to the 3. Liga... their 3. Liga team would get relegated as well... (no matter what their record was)... as you cannot start two teams in one league. Also verboten.
I'm glad because it is a bit confusing. In the old days the 1. and 2. Bundesligen were considered professional leagues and the Regionalligen and below were considered amateurs. The reformation process began with the integration of the teams from the East German leagues after the reunification. Due to their lack of financial clout the teams from the east slowly but surely filtered their way down to the Regionalliga creating a top heavy situation there. (Hansa Rostock and Energie Cottbus were the only teams from the east that enjoyed a mildly successful entry into the western system.) So with the advent of the 3. Liga... (which had been talked about for ages)... a semi-professional tier was created. This includes the Regionalligen... so now... anything Oberliga and below is considered amateur status. 1. and 2. Bundesliga... professional 3. Liga and Regionalliga... semi-professional everybody else... amateurs
My signature avatar is not happy with this. Perhaps their amatuer in Fußball, but they've perfected the smoked beer. Side note - As I was walking off the train in Bamberg when I was there in July, I saw a sign that said Fußball field with an arrow pointing in direction. At that time, I didn't know what League they even played in since I never saw their name in the 1 or 2. Liga. Man do I miss Bamberg. Need more smoked beer.
We have had a good exchange of futbol culture. I obviously know Germany very well... but you taught me that not all U.S. fans are chargertom... (did we win yet?) That will always be the case. Hard to overstock that commodity.
Yes, we have and it will only get better. I've said it before but I am extremely jealous of your German experience covering soccer and actually being in Germany for many years. LOL at CT. In Nebraska this past weekend, I found this gem in Omaha. http://www.brixomaha.com/ 22 Fridge Doors with over 700 specialty beers, including Spezial Rauchbier and Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Amazing. So I got my fix of smoke beers. For wine lovers, they have a "plug and play" system. Dispenser type systems, where you can pay for an ounce, 3 ounces, or 6 ounces at a time. Just put in a debit card and click the button on which wine you want to try, and it dispenses it. Pretty cool system.
Sandy, out of curiosity, do you follow FC Toronto since they are in your area? Is Toronto a soccer-excited city?
Interesting question. I would say that the entire MLS flies under my radar. There is no good reason I can give you for that other than the abundance of other European leagues out there. Besides the Premiership, the English Championship, the two German leagues, Italy, Spain and even France would interest me more. If by chance I am sitting in front of a TFC highlight package or a televised match... then I'll give it a close look. But I rarely if ever seek them out. If I was to go to the BMO Stadium and watch them live... then perhaps it would change my mindset... (which currently is that as long as they play on a carpet instead of natural grass... it is not the real game). Me be old fashioned when it comes to futbol.
If that was a simple yes or no question I would say no and point to the 2,179 fans that showed up for Canada's last qualifier versus St. Lucia. Pathetic. Vancouver is much better. Toronto is a patch work of ethnic communities. For example they boast the largest Italian population of any city outside Italy. When the Greeks won the Euro, the celebrations in Toronto were massive. But alas... the Toronto sports fan cannot unite its support for anything Torontonian... unless it is a winner. Sad sacks they are. The Blue Jays would sell out every game in Buffalo no matter how poor the team... but the Yankees and Red Sox have killed it for Toronto. The Argonauts are a joke... but when the Bills play here the players lament that the Toronto fans make it feel like an away game. Before the MLS and NASL there were teams like the Toronto Metros Croatia. They had scores of rabid fans... (you guessed it... all Croats. ).
They play on turf??? That's terrible. What's the purpose in that? Toronto has rain and lawn mowers don't they? I'd pay more attention to the MLS if San Diego had a team, or even Las Vegas if they had a team I would go watch them play. The level of play isn't all that good in MLS, although I have seen some good matches. The Portland team has some really good fans (singing most of the game), as does Columbus. I won't even watch the Los Angeles team (beyond your hatred for the Rags perhaps).
Haha... here you go Sandy. I know how you loved Megan Rapinoe singing "Born in the USA" into the corner microphone during the World Cup. Here's Pia and Rapinoe doing a little unplugged. Megan looks pretty good, but her singing is just ok.
Maybe too much rain... but you'd think if they can deal with it in the U.K., then it would be possible in Canucklestan as well. Its just a weird mentality. When the Argos played at Exhibition Stadium that field was always a quagmire until they installed that Astro Turf. The Skydome has turf so that they can keep the roof closed for extended periods. That mindset has carried over to the MLS team even though they play in an outdoor facility. What has to be good for the goose has to be good for the gander. Cretins. If that is possible. Part of watching the MLS on television is the local commentators... (most all of which know the game much to a lesser extent than either of us do). It just grates on one's nerves.

Kosher Bread
No Knead Bread |
by Lynn Teichman We are delighted to share the Runner Up winning recipe (one of two Runner Up winning recipe selections) from the Red Star PLATINUM Yeast Sampling/Baking Competition, No Knead Bread. A perfect bread to make! Mix it before you go to sleep...bake it anytime the following day! It always, ALWAYS turns out PERFECT! *Read Lynn's comments on her experience on baking with Red Star PLATINUM Yeast below. Ingredients: 2 cups white flour Directions: Step 1:
Step 2: I shape the dough one of two ways. Use flour to keep it from sticking to your hands and surfaces, or wet your hands. Either way will work. Work quickly and shape dough into a ball. Dust a tea towel with either flour, cornmeal or sesame seeds (or any combinations). Place dough seam side down onto the towel, dust it again to prevent sticking. Cover with another towel and let the dough rise for about 2 hours. It should have doubled in volume.
About a half hour before the dough has completed rising, heat oven to 450 degrees. Place a medium sized (4 quart), heavy cast iron pot in the oven with the lid on. Preheat the pot for 30 minutes. When dough is ready (BE CAREFUL |

Complains of several days of vague abdominal pain, general weakness and shortness of breath.
Decreased breath sounds to right lower lobe.
Elevated ESR.
Normocytic anemia.
Bilateral pleural effusions, R>>L. Right basilar atelectasis.
Main PA filling defect C/W saddle embolism.
Right lower lobe branch of PA filling defect c/w thromboembolism.
Clot embolus
In situ thrombus
Tumor embolus
Pulmonary embolism (PE) can be associated with significant mortality if untreated. The clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is unreliable. Symptoms of PE include tachypnea/dyspnea (most common), tachycardia, hypoxia, pleuritic chest pain, hemoptysis, syncope, and atrial fibrillation. Blood gas may be normal.
The D-dimer blood test is a screening tool for pulmonary embolism. A serum level less than 500 ng/L excludes pulmonary embolism with a 90% accuracy. A positive test is non-specific. Additionally, the test is unreliable in the presence of malignancy, sepsis, recent surgery, or trauma.
The source is most commonly from deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremity, however, about 10% arise from clot in the upper extremity. Risk factors are Immobilization, Recent Surgery, Underlying Malignancy, History of Deep Venous Thrombosis or Pulmonary Embolism, Estrogen use, or Pre-existing cardiac disease. A low percentage of cases of pulmonary embolism result in pulmonary infarction, due to the presence of the bronchial circulation.
Treatment for PE most commonly consists of anticoagulation with heparin or coumadin. Anticoagulation prevents clot propagation and allows endogenous fibrinolytic activity to dissolve existing thrombiAnticoagulation decreases mortality form 30-60% to <5%.
Thrombolytic agents are not routinely used for the treatment of acute PE. Thrombolytic treatment is generally reserved for patients with massive pulmonary embolism producing circulatory shock (hypotension).
For patients that cannot be anticoagulated, an inferior vena caval filter can be placed in order to prevent life-threatening PE. Major complications occur in about 1% of cases. Complications include central migration of the filter, filter fracture, inferior vena caval perforation, and vena caval thrombosis.
V/Q scanning has been the mainstay for screening symptomatic patients for the presence of pulmonary embolism. A negative V/Q scan essentially excludes PE, and a high probability study is associated with the presence of a PE in about 85% of cases at angiography. Confusion arises with low or intermediate probability examinations, and there is common disagreement among expert readers in the interpretation of scans in these categories. The problem with V/Q scanning is that it does not directly visualize thromboembolism, but rather its effects on perfusion and ventilation . This problem causes the need for probability criteria, which in turn causes confusing results. Nuclear medicine scanning for PE is probably most useful in previously healthy patients with a normal chest radiograph. As the complexity of the patients underlying cardiopulmonary disease increases, so does the likelihood that the scan will not be informative (intermediate probability). Using PIOPED criteria, intermediate probability V/Q scans occurred in 60% of patients with COPD, but in only 13% of patients with normal CXR's. However, a generalized abnormality on CXR such as diffuse pulmonary edema or reticulonodular disease may not cause the perfusion lung scan to be abnormal.
The CXR is abnormal in the majority of cases of PE. The PIOPED study showed that among patients with angiographically proven pulmonary embolism, only 12% had chest X-rays interpreted as normal. (24% of patients with PE in another study had normal CXR's ). Atelectasis and other focal pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities are the most common CXR findings in pulmonary embolism, occurring in up to 68% of patients with PE. Pleural effusions are also common but usually small and unilateral. Other palin film findings indicative of PE include regional oligemia (Westermark sign), a pleural-based wedge shaped area of increased opacity (Hampton's hump), and prominence of the central pulmonary artery with abrupt tapering (Knuckle sign).
In pulmonary angiography,an embolus classiclally produces a filling defect within the affected pulmonary artery. Non-occlusive emboli have a "tram-track" appearance. Although considered the gold standard, angiography may not always detect the presence of emboli. Some indirect angiographic evidence for the presence of emboli such as vascular pruning and delayed capillary blush are non-specific. Additionally, agreement among angiographers regarding the presence of subsegmental emboli is poor and can be as low as 15%. V/Q scans can provide a road map to angiography, but if the abnormally perfused segment on the V/Q scan appears normal at angiography, complete evaluation the remainder of the lungs for the presence of pulmonary emboli is warranted. One important point to remember is that a negative angiogram has been shown to be an excellent indicator of a good prognosis.
Helical CT is able to identify main, lobar, and segmental emboli with a reported sensitivity over 90%. Although the detection of subsegmental emboli is worse, the clinical significance of these small emboli has not yet been establishished. Additionally, on angiography there is poor interobserver agreement for the presence of subsegmental emboli and the true incidence of isolated subsegmental emboli is difficult to determine. Helical CT has also been shown to have a significantly better sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values compared to V/Q scanning . Helical CT permits a more confident diagnosis to be made in a greater number of cases when compared with V/Q scanning .
It has been suggested that helical or electron beam CT should be the initial imaging modality to screen patients suspected of having PE- particularly in patients with abnormal CXR's in whom there is a greater likelihood of inconclusive V/Q scan results. If emboli are detected, no further work-up is required. If this study is negative, a lower extremity US or CT DVT exam can be performed to assess for the presence of DVT. Again, a positive exam would lead to patient treatment. If both studies were negative, then a decision would be required regarding whether the patient should proceed to angiography or not. Another benefit of CT is the ability to suggest an alternative diagnosis.

Sting, Downey Jr., O'Connor, Tankian Among Contributors To Nuclear Disarmament Charity Project
Emmy-winning New York composer/producer Jonathan Elias has assembled a multitude of artists to partake in a charity album, Path To Zero: Prayer Cycle 2, including Sting and his wife Trudie Styler; Robert Downey Jr.; System Of A Down's Serj Tankian; Sinead O'Connor and Korn's Jonathan Davis. He even scored a rare Jim Morrison recording.
Available June 7 on Across The Universe Records, all proceeds from the album, which focuses on the social and moral implications of nuclear weaponry, will be donated to Global Zero, an international organization established in 2008 that is dedicated to the worldwide elimination of atomic weapons.
Elias, 55, who has produced such acts as Downey, Duran Duran, Yes and Grace Jones, discovered the charity through his ties to Amnesty International.
"I have children, and I see what kind of world we're leaving behind for them," said Elias in a press statement. "It seems obvious that if we allow the continuing proliferation of nuclear weapons, there soon won't be much of a world to live in."

Who uses XMod Pro to create dynamic, customized solutions for their DotNetNuke projects?
Learn more about success stories, examples, favorite XMod Pro features and more:
We've developed these Module Kits to give you a jump-start on your next project and, more importantly, as an educational tool. Feel free to take apart these kits and see how they're put together. Then, use those techniques in your own XMod Pro solutions.
XMod Pro is a DotNetNuke module which allows you to create your own dynamic forms, lists and customized DNN solutions - you can even use it to enhance other modules! Use XMod Pro as a platform to build custom functionality in your DotNetNuke site. Why search for the perfect DNN module, when you can build it yourself?
Contact forms, feedback forms, surveys, product catalogs, inventory trackers, real estate or rental listings, school course listings, employee directories, news articles, book reviews, slideshows, car listings, prayer requests, restaurant listings integrated with Google Maps, you name it. If you have a vision for your custom DNN module, you can build it with XMod Pro.
XMod Pro doesn't force you into a cookie-cutter layout. Display your data exactly the way you want, designed by you. Use paged list views, grids, bullet lists, numbered lists, comma-delimited lists - even as a slideshow. Any style of code you can create in HTML is available. Go beyond the basic DotNetNuke form and list presentation and, combine multiple views into single display.
Design your forms for DotNetNuke with a standard two-column layout with labels in column one and controls in column two - or break it up into four columns, or put your labels on top of the controls, or use our tabstrip to put your controls on multiple tabs, or do something completely different! Then, give your DNN form some professional polish by adding a pre-built or custom designed theme.
If you have tackled building your own DotNetNuke module, then you know how complex DotNetNuke module development can be! When creating new functionality for your DNN site with XMod Pro modules you can go from concept to working module in hours instead of weeks. More than just a form and list builder, XMod Pro is an application development platform where you can quickly build complex, custom DNN applications and solutions.
Get the performance and flexibility that direct access to your database provides. XMod Pro enables you to write your own SQL commands and/or stored procedures so you are in control of the data. You can not only access data in your DNN database but in external SQL Server databases as well.
You get an AJAX-based control panel that quickly responds to your actions. Create new DNN database tables quickly and easily within the control panel. Then generate forms and views from your tables in just a few clicks. Apply custom or pre-built themes to your forms. See how it all looks with LIVE previews that show validation for your forms and live data for your views.
Have you wondered how to create a module in DotNetNuke? Or needed to create a custom module for DNN? Whether you hire a programmer, use one of your staff, or do it yourself, building a custom application for your website is expensive, both in time and money - and that's just for one project.
What if you could invest a small fraction of that time and money and build not just one project, but 10... or 100? That's what XMod Pro offers - the ability to quickly create as many custom solutions as you need.
So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your copy of XMod Pro today and start building the powerful, flexible DotNetNuke solutions your clients are craving!

"I have had 2 experiences with this instrument. First during a demo where I tried a few microplates, and next as a loaner while our original IXM was being repaired. Overall, I think this is a great upgrade to the original instrument. The most important feature is that the camera is larger and has a new type of light source (LED) which is rated for 10,000 hours instead of 1000, so bulb changes will be much less frequent. They claim the instrument is 3x faster, and while this is technically true, it is only so for instances where you are imaging at high magnification 10x+ and you would wish to capture more than one field. The machine itself isn't any faster, it simply collects images that are 3x larger. Nevertheless, this is really terrific for those who want to speed up their high content imaging. I rate this instrument highly, and recommend it fully." |

I have very sensitive, somewhat dry skin. As I age my pores have also gotten larger. As someone with sensitive skin I was always fighting redness, blotchiness, and irritation. Not any longer! This product, which I use AM only, has completely changed my skin. It is now clear, even-toned and all redness is gone. My pores have even gotten smaller. I can't tell you how happy I am not to have to try to cover up irritated, blotchy skin anymore. I will never stop using this!

I use this in the morning and night. It makes my skin feel firmer and helps reduce my pores. It has a very refreshing feel on my skin. It is an essential in my daily regimen of Dr. Perricone products. I would highly recommend this product if it is not part of your daily routine.

Give it time...
By Matthew the Skincare Enthusiast
from Charlotte, NC
Before I bought or heard about this product I would say my skin was in pretty bad condition as far as large pores, oily, acne prone skin so when i researched this product and saw all the grave reviews and all the science that backed it up I bought it thinking it would be a miracle face treatment that I would see immediate change with....After 3 weeks of using it once a day ONLY in the mornings as directed I really saw no results or difference in my skin other than it being a little softer (I also use the face finishing moisturizer, which I'm sure that's where the softness came in) so I of course started to wonder if I wasted my money, but I have tried so many face products in the past and have seeked the professional advice of many dermatologist and know that you have to give a product time. I am now going on my 5th week of using it and It's like the "activator" just turned to the ON position. within these last two weeks my skin has become so much smoother and brighter and my pores and fine lines have shrunk. My acne has as well decreased significantly and on the plus side I have gotten 5 weeks of use out of less than a quarter of the bottle!! I use the Citrus Facial Wash, Intense Pore Minimizer Toner, alon with this Product and then end with the Face Finishing Moisturizer so I can't say for sure that it is THIS PRODUCT ALONE that is responsible for my skin transformation but I do know that the Perricone Brand works :)
Great Product

I love this product. And my skin love it too. It is so smooth, well moisturized. I am already buying another bottle.

(ARA) - Katherine Gordon, an eighth grader at Canton Charter Academy in Canton, Mich., steps up to the large moving box adorned with a large purple heart. As she begins dumping an assortment of soaps and lotions into the box, her teacher, Charles Lindquist, watches on and marvels at her effort. "This is the third time Katherine has come in with an armload of gifts this week," he says. "I believe she's determined to gift every mom in the city!"
The effort to collect Mother's Day gifts at Canton will go to women staying at First Step in Greater Detroit, but the same scenario will play out in more than 200 schools across the country this month, to benefit tens of thousands of women living in 102 domestic abuse and homeless shelters.
The program, called Movers for Moms, was started in 2008 by a group of Michigan-based Two Men And A Truck franchisees looking to make an impact on their statewide community. Two Men And A Truck operates more than 200 locations in 34 states. When word of the successful first-year effort spread, other franchisees jumped in with both feet. This year, more than 100 of the leading moving company's locations in 27 states will participate in the Movers for Moms program.
The moving company has partnered with schools to provide classes with boxes, coloring pages and the moving logistics required to gift community shelters this year. The kids do the rest, often to the wonder of school administrators who saw an estimated 65,000 items collected last year. The goal this year is to top the 100,000 gift threshold.
"We started with a simple notion that all moms should be celebrated on Mother's Day," says Melanie Bergeron, chair of the board and daughter of Two Men And A Truck founder Mary Ellen Sheets. "The moving industry may be a 'man's world,' but our company was started by my mom. I spent more than a decade serving as president and CEO, and many of our most successful locations are women-owned. As a result, I believe we have a unique perspective on women's needs within the communities we serve. And while this may be a small gesture, I believe with the help of our school partners, we make a big impact on this special day."

Playboy has unveiled the cover of their upcoming edition featuring Jenny McCarthy. The 39-year-old Playmate hits the cover for the sixth time and explains that older women currently have more sex appeal than ever before.
"Why should 20-year-old girls be the only ones that are considered desirable? MILFs are sexy, too!" she says in the interview.
Jenny also says that she has become more in tune with her sexuality over time and it shows in her Playboy spread:
"This point in my life has been the most fun, sexual extravaganza," she told the mag. "The orgasms are night-and-day better. I feel 100 billion times more sexual, and that comes out in this pictorial."
She adds that though she's became a sexual icon, she still feels like a normal person:
"There's room for guys to be attracted to strong females, but I still feel like the girl next door."

Side effects associated with Provigil may include but are not limited to insomnia, agitation, anxiety, aggressiveness, confusion, tremor, sleep disturbance, nausea, and diarrhea. Most patients will not experience these side effects but those who do will usually find that they are self limiting or that they will cease when the medication is stopped. Patients should discuss any side effects with their doctor as they occur to determine if this is still the best treatment option, or if other treatment options would be more useful or helpful.
