Plasma factor VIII antigen
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
This test is most often performed on people who have bleeding problems. The risk of excessive bleeding is slightly greater for people with bleeding problems than for people without bleeding problems.
When you bleed, the body launches a series of activities that help the blood clot. This is called the coagulation cascade. The process involves special proteins called coagulation factors (factor VIII is a coagulation factor).
Each factor's reaction triggers the next reaction. The final product of the coagulation cascade is the blood clot. Blood clots may not form normally if any one of the clotting factors is abnormally low.

Application programming interface
Generally speaking, an application programming interface (API) specifies how some software components should interact with each other.
In practice in most of the cases an API is a library that usually includes specification for routines, data structures, object classes, and variables.
An API specification can take many forms, including an International Standard such as POSIX, vendor documentation such as the Microsoft Windows API, the libraries of a programming language, e.g., Standard Template Library in C++ or Java API.
An API differs from an application binary interface (ABI) in that an API is source code based while an ABI is a binary interface. For instance POSIX is an API, while the Linux Standard Base is an ABI.[1]
Contents |
Detailed explanation[edit]
API in procedural languages[edit]
In most procedural languages an API is a specification that documents a set of functions or routines that accomplish a specific task or allow to interact with a specific software component.
This documentation is presented in a human readable format in paper books, or in electronic formats like ebooks or as man pages.
E.g. the math API on Unix systems is a specification on how to use the mathematical functions included in the math library. Among these functions there is a function, named sqrt()
, that can be used to compute the square root of a given number. The Unix command man 3 sqrt
presents the signature of the function sqrt
in the form:
SYNOPSIS #include <math.h> double sqrt(double X); float sqrtf(float X); DESCRIPTION sqrt computes the positive square root of the argument. ... RETURNS On success, the square root is returned. If X is real and positive...
this description means that: the sqrt()
function returns the square root of a positive floating point number (single
or double
precision) as another floating point number.
Hence the API in this case can be interpreted as the collection of the include files used by a program, written in the C language, to reference that library function, and its human readable description provided by the man pages.
Similarly, other languages have procedural libraries, e.g. Perl has a dedicated APIs for the same mathematical task that are presented in digital format, with the tool perldoc:
$ perldoc -f sqrt sqrt EXPR sqrt #Return the square root of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, returns #square root of $_. Only works on non-negative operands, unless #you've loaded the standard Math::Complex module.
API in object-oriented languages[edit]
In its simplest form an object API is a prescription of how objects work in a given object-oriented language: usually it is expressed as set classes with an associated list of class methods.
For example, in the Java language, if a programmer wants to use the class Scanner
(a class that reads input from the user in text-based programs), they would import the java.util.Scanner
library in order to use the Scanner class, and later they can use objects of type Scanner
invoking some class methods:
import java.util.Scanner; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Enter your name: "); Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in); String name = inputScanner.nextLine(); System.out.println("Your name is " + name + "."); inputScanner.close(); } }
where the methods nextLine()
and close()
are part the API for the Scanner
class, and hence are described in the documentation for that API.
More generally, in object-oriented languages, an API usually includes a description of a set of class definitions, with a set of behaviors associated with those classes. This abstract concept is associated with the real functionality exposed, or made available, by the classes that are implemented in terms of class methods (or more generally by all its public components hence all public methods, but also possibly including any internal entity made public, like fields, constants, nested objects, enums, etc.).
The API in this case can be conceived of as the totality of all the methods publicly exposed by the classes (usually called the class interface). This means that the API prescribes the methods by which one interacts with/handles the objects derived from the class definitions.
More generally, one can see the API as the collection of all the kinds of objects one can derive from the class definitions, and their associated possible behaviors. Again: the use is mediated by the public methods, but in this interpretation, the methods are seen as a technical detail of how the behavior is implemented.
For instance: a class representing a Stack
can simply expose publicly two methods push()
(to add a new item to the stack), and pop()
(to extract the last item, ideally placed on top of the stack).
In this case the API can be interpreted as the two methods pop()
and push()
, or, more generally, as the idea that one can use an item of type Stack
that implements the behavior of a stack: a pile exposing its top to add/remove elements. The second interpretation appears more appropriate in the spirit of object orientation.
This concept can be carried to the point where a class interface in an API has no methods at all, but only behaviors associated with it. For instance, the Java language and Lisp (programming language) API include the interface Serializable
, which is a marker interface that requires that each class that implements it should behave in a serialized fashion. This does not require to have any public method, but rather requires that any class that implements it to have a representation that can be saved (serialized) at any time.[2]
Similarly the behavior of an object in a concurrent (multi-threaded) environment is not necessarily determined by specific methods, belonging to the interface implemented, but still belongs to the API for that Class of objects, and should be described in the documentation.[3]
In this sense, in object-oriented languages, the API defines a set of object behaviors, possibly mediated by a set of class methods.
In such languages, the API is still distributed as a library. For example, the Java language libraries include a set of APIs that are provided in the form of the JDK used by the developers to build new Java programs. The JDK includes the documentation of the API in JavaDoc notation.
The quality of the documentation associated with an API is often a factor determining its success in terms of ease of use.
API libraries and frameworks[edit]
An API is usually related to a software library: the API describes and prescribes the expected behavior while the library is an actual implementation of this set of rules. A single API can have multiple implementations (or none, being abstract) in the form of different libraries that share the same programming interface.
An API can also be related to a software framework: a framework can be based on several libraries implementing several APIs, but unlike the normal use of an API, the access to the behavior built into the framework is mediated by extending its content with new classes plugged into the framework itself. Moreover the overall program flow of control can be out of the control of the caller, and in the hands of the framework via inversion of control or a similar mechanisms.[4]
API and protocols[edit]
An API can also be an implementation of a protocol.
When an API implements a protocol it can be based on proxy methods for remote invocations that underneath rely on the communication protocol. The role of the API can be exactly to hide the detail of the transport protocol. E.g.: RMI is an API that implements the JRMP protocol or the IIOP as RMI-IIOP.
Protocols are usually shared between different technologies (system based on given computer programming languages in a given operating system) and usually allow the different technologies to exchange information, acting as an abstraction/mediation level between the two different environments. APIs are usually specific to a given technology: hence the APIs of a given language cannot be used in other languages, unless the function calls are wrapped with specific adaptation libraries.
To enable the exchange of information among systems that use different technologies, when an API implements a protocol, it can prescribe a language-neutral messagge format: e.g. SOAP uses XML as a general container for the messages to be exchanged.
Object API and protocols[edit]
An object API can prescribe a specific object exchange format, an object exchange protocol can define a way to transfer the same kind of information in a message sent to a remote system.
When a message is exchanged via a protocol between two different platforms using objects on both sides, the object in a programming language can be transformed (marshalled and unmarshalled) in an object in a remote and different language: so, e.g., a program written in Java invokes a service via SOAP or IIOP written in C# both programs use APIs for remote invocation (each locally to the machine where they are working) to (remotely) exchange information that they both convert from/to an object in local memory.
Instead when a similar object is exchanged via an API local to a single machine the object is effectively exchanged (or a reference to it) in memory: e.g. via memory allocated by a single process, or among multiple processes using shared memory or other sharing technologies like tuple spaces.
API sharing and reuse via virtual machine[edit]
Some languages like those running in a virtual machine (e.g. .NET CLI compliant languages in the Common Language Runtime and JVM compliant languages in the Java Virtual Machine) can share API.
In this case the virtual machine enables the language interoperation thanks to the common denominator of the virtual machine that abstracts from the specific language using an intermediate bytecode and its language binding.
Web APIs[edit]
When used in the context of web development, an API is typically defined as a set of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request messages, along with a definition of the structure of response messages, which is usually in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. While "web API" historically has been virtually synonymous for web service, the recent trend (so-called Web 2.0) has been moving away from Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) based web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) towards more direct representational state transfer (REST) style web resources and resource-oriented architecture (ROA).[5] Part of this trend is related to the Semantic Web movement toward Resource Description Framework (RDF), a concept to promote web-based ontology engineering technologies. Web APIs allow the combination of multiple APIs into new applications known as mashups.[6]
The practice of publishing APIs has allowed web communities to create an open architecture for sharing content and data between communities and applications. In this way, content that is created in one place can be dynamically posted and updated in multiple locations on the web.
- Photos can be shared from sites like Flickr and Photobucket to social network sites like Facebook and MySpace.
- Content can be embedded, e.g. embedding a presentation from SlideShare on a LinkedIn profile.
- Content can be dynamically posted. Sharing live comments made on Twitter with a Facebook account, for example, is enabled by their APIs.
- Video content can be embedded on sites served by another host.
- User information can be shared from web communities to outside applications, delivering new functionality to the web community that shares its user data via an open API. One of the best examples of this is the Facebook Application platform. Another is the Open Social platform.[7]
The POSIX standard defines an API that allows writing a wide range of common computing functions in a way such that they can operate on many different systems (Mac OS X, and various Berkeley Software Distributions (BSDs) implement this interface). However, using this requires re-compiling for each platform. A compatible API, on the other hand, allows compiled object code to function with no changes to the system that implements that API. This is beneficial to both software providers (where they may distribute existing software on new systems without producing and distributing upgrades) and users (where they may install older software on their new systems without purchasing upgrades), although this generally requires that various software libraries implement the necessary APIs as well.
Microsoft has shown a strong commitment to a backward compatible API, particularly within their Windows API (Win32) library, such that older applications may run on newer versions of Windows using an executable-specific setting called "Compatibility Mode".[8]
Among Unix-like operating systems, there are many related but incompatible operating systems running on a common hardware platform (particularly Intel 80386-compatible systems). There have been several attempts to standardize the API such that software vendors may distribute one binary application for all these systems; however, to date, none of these has met with much success. The Linux Standard Base is attempting to do this for the Linux platform, while many of the BSD Unixes, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, implement various levels of API compatibility for both backward compatibility (allowing programs written for older versions to run on newer distributions of the system) and cross-platform compatibility (allowing execution of foreign code without recompiling).
Release policies[edit]
The two options for releasing API are:
- Protecting information on APIs from the general public. For example, Sony used to make its official PlayStation 2 API available only to licensed PlayStation developers. This enabled Sony to control who wrote PlayStation 2 games. This gives companies quality control privileges and can provide them with potential licensing revenue streams.
- Making APIs freely available. For example, Microsoft makes the Microsoft Windows API public, and Apple releases its APIs Carbon and Cocoa, so that software can be written for their platforms.
A mix of the two behaviors can be used as well.
APIs and copyrights[edit]
In 2010, Oracle sued Google for having distributed a new implementation of Java embedded in the Android operating system.[9] Google had not acquired any permission to reproduce the Java API, although a similar permission had been given to the OpenJDK project. Judge William Alsup ruled in the Oracle v. Google case that APIs cannot be copyrighted in the U.S.[10]
API examples[edit]
- ASPI for SCSI device interfacing
- Cocoa and Carbon for the Macintosh
- DirectX for Microsoft Windows
- Java APIs
- ODBC for Microsoft Windows
- OpenAL cross-platform sound API
- OpenCL cross-platform API for general-purpose computing for CPUs & GPUs
- OpenGL cross-platform graphics API
- OpenMP API that supports multi-platform shared memory multiprocessing programming in C, C++ and Fortran on many architectures, including Unix and Microsoft Windows platforms.
- Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)
- Talend integrates its data management with BPM from Bonita Open Solution
Language bindings and interface generators[edit]
APIs that are intended to be used by more than one high-level programming language often provide, or are augmented with, facilities to automatically map the API to features (syntactic or semantic) that are more natural in those languages. This is known as language binding, and is itself an API. The aim is to encapsulate most of the required functionality of the API, leaving a "thin" layer appropriate to each language.
Below are listed some interface generator tools that bind languages to APIs at compile time.
- SWIG open-source interfaces bindings generator from many languages to many languages (Typically Compiled->Scripted)
- F2PY:[11] Fortran to Python interface generator.

Broad Coalition Calls for Bipartisan Passage of STEM Jobs Act
Washington, D.C. – A broad coalition of over 100 national associations, U.S. employers, and state and local associations today asked for bipartisan passage of the STEM Jobs Act (H.R. 6429). This bill, sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), helps boost job creation and spurs economic growth by allowing the U.S. to retain the best and brightest foreign graduates of American universities with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math fields. The STEM Jobs Act will be considered by the House of Representatives tomorrow. Below is the letter text.
"The undersigned organizations ask for bipartisan passage in the 112th Congress of the STEM Jobs Act of 2012, H.R. 6429, to establish a new green card program for STEM advanced degree graduates. Such a reform will allow the American economy to spur innovation and create high paying manufacturing and research jobs here in America.
"America has been greatly enriched by the contributions of gifted engineers, researchers, and scientists from around the world who have chosen to come here to study and innovate. However, our immigration system has failed to adapt in ways that help ensure we maintain this advantage. Each year, graduate students who complete advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from America's top universities are offered jobs here by U.S. employers. H.R. 6429 recognizes that hiring advanced degree STEM professionals is a key to creating and retaining jobs in a variety of sectors in our innovation economy. These are highly educated professionals who will create jobs wherever they settle, whether in the U.S. or elsewhere.
"Together, the undersigned represent many American employers who hire these highly educated professionals, as well as American high tech employees, and trade and professional organizations. Our organizations support prioritizing the issuance of green card status for those earning STEM degrees from American graduate schools. H.R. 6429 does this, while also continuing to condition green card sponsorship upon the offer of terms, conditions and wages appropriate for similarly situated professionals in the occupation and confirmation that qualified American workers are unavailable.
"Our organizations appreciate the strong and sustained bipartisan congressional work on this vitally important issue. We urge the Congress to work together before adjournment to deliver this critical, timely reform of our legal immigration system."

The unique type of species a night-flowering orchid that is a first of its kind has been described by a team of botanists not known to science before this.
The behavior it has adopted remains a mystery and an expert says that the "remarkable" species is the only orchid known to consistently flower at night.
This wild flower species was first time discovered by a Dutch researcher during an expedition to New Britain that is an island near Papua New Guinea.
These findings related to that new wild flowers discovery appear in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
During a field trip in a region of lowland rainforest on the Pacific island, the specimen was discovered by co-author Ed de Vogel that is related to flower discovery in the history of Pacific island.
When the specimen was taken to the Netherlands for examination it explores the unique behavior of this wild flower species and it can be availed for making any flower delivery to Netherlands or to send flowers to Netherland.
The facts about the plant are very surprising as it opens a few hours after sunset and remain open until a few hours after sunrise. The flower plant opened for one night only, appeared to be withered the next day these are the unique behavior of it.
The specimen of flower plant has been known as belonging to the Bulbophyllum genus that is having about 2,000 species and in the orchid family is the largest group.

We use the word hero in many ways these days...most of them false. Heroes are not ballplayers or singers or actors...heroes are people who run into burning buildings...heroes are teachers in inner city schools saving young people from a horrible cycle of poverty....heroes are soldiers who selflessly give up their lives to save their comrades or fight for what they believe in. On this Memorial Day cheer for Ryan Braun or Mike Richards....raise a cold one while you wet a line....play catch in the backyard with your children...and think of the men and women...some you know...some you are related to...on the job in Iraq and Afghanistan...in Korea and the Balkans...and all the other far-flung problem areas of the world. And remember all of those that have fallen at Bunker Hill and New Orleans...at the Alamo and Bull Run....in Cuba and at Verdun....at Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Choson and Hue...and all of the other god-forsaken places that our men and women have served and died for us. and don't forget the wounded....thousands of wounded from our current conflicts . Some will need care for the rest of their lives and we owe it to them not to penny-pinch when it comes to that care. We need to hold our elected officials accountable for their votes on VA funding Will there come a day when our soldiers will not be needed to fight and die? I hope so, but until then it's our duty to care for the wounded and remember the dead. On this Memorial Day you have no more important task.

Drew Stanton did get the short end of the stick. I woulda liked to have seen him get a chance like Brady got. (6th round pick) and like Henne is getting now.
No. He never had a shot with the Lions anyway. Too bad cuz he's the only QB they've had that could get by with the sieve O-line.
I have a feeling he wouldn't get picked up by anybody. He'd just end up back in Lansing (Okemos) or Farmington Hills, to live out his life as a PF poster. Sad, but probably true.
Interesting that he's the only QB on the roster behind Tom Brady. Good combo, A UM and MSU QB on the same team. I really think he could play. He had like a 98 passer rating this pre season.

In short: great 10km race with the most senic start and finish I've ever experiencedIn full: Such a lovely start and finish location in the quad of a beautiful school. Course along a traffic free old railway line with a bit of a housing estate. Got a best time for a 10k race over the last 3 years. Nice one! Would definatly do again.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Glad I got up early!In full: First time doing the Exbury and glad I did. Loads of parking, lovely setting, nice rural lane course, good views of the I.O.W. and the last km in the gardens. No truck with where the finish line was myself. Could not fault the organisation, so many friendly marshals out there! Many thanks to those brave souls in the heavy showers.Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Excellent new race on the grassy downsIn full: Great replacement for the Duck Pond. Enough parking and not too muddy, barn in case it's wet. The course is over grassy downland above Lancing with great views south, North and all around! Long up and down hills with a bit of flat as well along the top but a Devil of a climb around 2.5 miles in. Paths rutted in places, so bring your cross country shoes in 2013. I was in multi use ones and shoulder butted the ground around 5 miles. No serious damage and was well able to continue. It finished with a long climb, a turn left and a plunge down to the line. Superb! Well down the Striders and thanks to all the great marshalls out around the course.Date of review: December 4, 2012
In short: Wow this is hilly!In full: Last done this race around 10 years ago. I'd forgotten how hard the hills were esp. the first one and start of the last one. Hats off to anybody who ran up them all. Lovely scenary although a tad misty. Course great and not too much mud. Great run in. Thanks to all the friendly marshals. That lady and the top of the middle hill looked very cold!As others have said who wants to to a boring 10 mile on the road at four times the price!!!!!Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Great first time event, varied interesting courseIn full: Well impressed with the organisation for this first time event. Loads of friendly marshals all over the place and great support in a lot of places. One marshal missing in Lavant, just before it turns off to go on the old railway under the main road bridge? The course was really varied over the first half and a long drag up and around The Trundle but presonally I did not mind that. Second half was nice and flat mostly along the old railway line on tarmac. Last few miles dragged a bit. Overall superb and has the makings of a classic race. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Wet, wet,wet and uphill, downhill, uphill, downhill,uphill, downhill!In full: Not done this race for serveral years. I seem to remember long, hot steep hills many times. Not this year. The wettest race I've ever done. I was in a running tee shirt and was still cold. Much respect to those in vest/shorts. Absolutly soaked to the skin but really enjoyed it! Grit your teeth to get up those long steep hills. Last one was a bit overgrown and my laces came undone and enjoy the long, grass downhills, nice bit of grip, before a long flat sprint to finish. Thanks to all the marshals out on the course. Heros the lot of you! Must pencil in for next year already. Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Great 9 miles up and down chalk ridge with scenic viewsIn full: Tough trail race with the short, sharp hills near the start. The first hill is a killer! Then a few more up and down the ridge before a more undulating terrain through lovely country side. A slow climb back towards the village before a last plunge back down from the ridge. Well signed, loads of friendly marshalls, buffalo burgers, cake and tea at the end. What's not to like!Date of review: September 17, 2012
In short: Hard Packed gravel trails almost makes it a car free road race!Date of review: September 8, 2012
In short: Enjoyable jaunt around the Downs above EmsworthIn full: Great little event using paths and tracks around Forestside/Chawton area. A couple of tough chalk hills, esp. that climb up to the top of Chawton Down. What views though! Plenty of friendly marshals and signs but where the route turns off a main track the signs need to be placed in better places i.e to be clearly seen from many meters away not when you are right on the turn. 2nd and 3rd men went wrong but caught me up quick. Apart from that superb. Date of review: September 5, 2012

OCCUPY WALL STREET youth have been deceived, even those who deceived them have been deceived: lifelong employment is glorified slavery, not freedom. ALL can call for God's wisdom to rule our nation as written. That is our security for all people. The way is prepared to overcome our world system. Divine-Way.com gives evidences and dangers in front of us NOW.
People behind the OCCUPY movement will incite violence like they did in Egypt, Libya etc. and the OCCUPY youth will get caught up in it. They can go STEALTH. Go home and stay on the computers, writing to candidates, to governors and mayors and Congress reps. pressing for the only solution that can work, God's wisdom. Right now, their access to the power of computers is limited.
We need a candidate willing to make us what God wants, not superior so others will be jealous and move here. We cannot solve the many problems we created with lifelong employment by using the same strategy that created the problems. THIS is where change is needed. All holy books guide us toward living off the land for eternal life instead of extinction from pollutions caused by our enslavement to lifelong employment.
We need to choose a leader who understands there is NO future in our future if we do not change. Survival will replace deficits as our prime worry if we think our system is great and we press other nations to follow us.
God has solutions to world problems we create with the enslavement to lifelong employment.
In the 1930's the world of countries with people at a loss of what was cycling through their lives, seems to be returning, as a history not understood, taught, or even remembered, and yet, reenacted today. We witness many without communication of a central message just waiting for someone to be their hero, who can chant the call to purpose of an imaginary hope. Yet, as history has shown before, that hero will actually be a shrewed fox in humble sheep's clothes. The rise of the masses to being an artificial power to make a centralized front will only fall back on the many that unknowingly back such a darkness. However, in the beginning it did look as if Hitler and his branded cluster brought sunshine to the masses, but that sunshine was only the train headlight that would soon run down the masses bringing the darkest evil as it's cargo. Times have changed, but people haven't; the poor are still among us, and will always be; what will we individually do to Glorify God and not fall in to being puppets of a one world humanity that only edifies those who hunger for pride and power. Be careful who you feed and what you feed. -30- GSD.
I agree that we have to be careful. There is a saying:" If you do not stand for something you will fall for anything." With that said, I have to say that I never understood the OWS and their protests. Something just did not seem right. Now, we are witnessing what they are trying to do in NYC. I am apalled at this group of ignorant, out of control people. They do have a right to protest, but they took that freedom in the wrong direction. This is America and we are supposed to be more disciplined. We are not the middle east or Greece or Eygpt. I know obama wishes we were, but WE ARE NOT and never will be. We are not global like obama wants us to be either.That is why the election in 2012 has to be the most important one to vote OBAMA OUT! We have to regain our America as she was meant to be. We the People have got to srand for what is RIGHT!

Occupy Wall Street is being used to make Arab Spring in America. Occupy Wall Street is not like the Civil Rights Movement. With Civil Rights Movement we had the Bible on our side and there was clearly something that could be changed.
Occupy Wall Street does not have the Bible on its side. The rich are not to be taxed higher than the poor to help the poor.

"Even more significant is that the Hezb'allah representatives
demonstrating on the first day of the Cairo uprising
were carrying flags displaying the hammer and sickle."
ALSO includes information that Arafat was created with false documents.
That sounds familiar since President Obama has not been able to provide a real identity papers including school records.
This is NOT what America's youth, veterans or minorities want.
Lifelong employment with union wages is not freedom; it is glorified slavery. God commanded in all holy books to live close to the land so we do not destroy ourselves.
Only a garden paradise lifestyle can solve the pollution to air, land, water and food already making young and old diseased as well as energy crisis, war, immigration, inequality, financial instability, and huge government payrolls to administer helps. We cannot solve the problems with the same lifelong employment system that created them, even if all people received the same high union wages. The devil has deceived us all, as God said he would.
My website has various connections and evidences for charges against President Obama and connections to Occupy Wall Street-Arab Spring. They amount to Arab Spring in America for the take over of the government without an election. President Obama endorsed uprisings in Egypt and Libya etc. and stirring up war around the globe.
These truths need to be lifted up; it is as easy as mentioning this website.
"45 Communist Goals For the Take Over of America" read into US Congress in 1963 shows using schools and students for Arab Spring type events, controlling one or more political parties, controlling MORE unions, and big business, and promoting UN for one world government.

A concussion is a brain injury which results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function. Approximately 140,000 high school athletes suffer a concussion in the US each year. Concussions occur most often in football but can occur in any sport and are also common in soccer, wrestling and basketball.
The athlete may complain of headache, nausea, balance problems or dizziness, sensitivity to light, feel overly fatigued/tired, have trouble concentrating, be more easily confused, complain of blurred or double vision, have ringing in the ears. Athletes, however may not always tell you if they are experiencing these symptoms for fear of being removed from participation. Therefore it is important to observe all athletes for the following signs: the athlete appears dazed or stunned, forgets plays, appears unsteady, is slow to answer questions or appears more confused than normal when answering questions, loses consciousness, shows irrational behavior or has personality change, can't recall events prior to or after taking a hit to the head or jolt to the body, has a drop in grades suddenly or has a lack of concentration.
As a Spine and Sports Specialist, I recognize the danger of concussion as I have evaluated numerous concussed athletes both on the field and in my office. Concussion is a hot topic in the media right now and I often get asked the following questions:
Is it safe to play contact sports and what can we do to prevent a serious head/neck injury?
Sustaining one concussion is not typically the area of concern. It is the accumulative effect of repetitive blows that you need to be concerned about. The best thing you can do is to be educated on the signs/symptoms so that you are aware when an injury has occurred and the most important thing is making sure that the athlete does not return to participation until the brain has had time to heal. Make sure that the athlete is in good physical shape through proper conditioning and works on neck strengthening. As an athlete fatigues, they start dropping their head when hitting and this makes them more prone to injury. Make sure that the athlete uses proper technique, that their protective equipment fits properly and do not give any athlete aspirin products when they are participating in sports as it makes them more prone to have a brain bleed if they do sustain a concussion.
Why is it so important that an athlete not return to play until they have completely recovered from a concussion?
Athletes who are not fully recovered from an initial concussion are significantly vulnerable for recurrent, cumulative, and are more susceptible to a life -threatening condition called second impact syndrome. Such difficulties can possibly be prevented if the athlete is allowed time to recover from the initial concussion.
If the CAT scan or MRI is normal, does that mean that the athlete did not have a concussion?
No. A CT scan and/or MRI is helpful in identifying life-threatening brain injuries (skull fractures, bleeding, swelling on the brain) but do not reveal if a concussion has occurred. The diagnosis of a concussion is based on the history of how the injury occurred, observed signs and the physical exam including cognitive testing, memory recall, balance testing, cranial nerve testing, neuromuscular testing, vision testing by a properly trained health care professional.
Is there any treatment for concussion?
The best treatment for a concussion is rest. Exposure to loud noises, bright lights, computers, video games, television and phones (including text messaging) all may worsen the symptoms of a concussion. You should allow your child to rest as much as possible in the days following a concussion and watch them closely. As the symptoms lessen, you can allow increased use of cell phones (texting), computers, phone, video games, etc.
How long do the symptoms of a concussion usually last?
The symptoms of a concussion will usually go away within one week of the initial injury. However, in some cases symptoms may last for several weeks, or even months with ongoing symptoms such as headache, confusion, poor concentration and fatigue.
How many concussions can an athlete have before he/she should stop playing sports?
There is no "set number" of concussions that determine when an athlete should give up playing contact or collision sports. The circumstances surrounding each individual injury, presence of any congenital defects, mechanism of injury and length of symptoms following the concussion, are very important and must be considered when assessing an athlete's risk for further and potentially more serious concussions. The athlete should be evaluated by a physician who specializes in treating sports concussion.
What is the 'Return to Play' protocol following a concussion?
In both Ohio and West Virginia, an athlete that shows signs/symptoms of a concussion shall be immediately evaluated by an appropriate health care professional. If no appropriate health care professional is available, the athlete shall not be allowed to return to play. If it is determined that the athlete suffered a concussion, the athlete shall not return to play on that day. If the health care professional determines that no concussion is present, then the athlete may return to play. Some officials may ask for a written clearance from the appropriate health care professional prior to the athlete returning to play. Appropriate health Care Professionals in WV include all physicians (Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathy, Doctors of Chiropractic), Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Registered Certified Athletic Trainers. In Ohio, only physicians and Certified Athletic Trainers can return an athlete to play according to the OHSAA.

GILBERT —In an effort to make sure the holidays are the best they can possibly be, the Crossroads Recovery Home for Women in Gilbert will conduct a community indoor yard sale.
The event begins Friday, Nov. 30, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Strong Through Our Plan (STOP) Coalition offices next to the Gilbert Post Office.
Josh Murphy, Assistant Director of the STOP Coalition told the Daily News that all proceeds from the event would go toward both ensuring that the families of Crossroads residents would have a Merry Christmas this year and the betterment of Crossroads itself.
Murphy said that the Gilbert community had been "awesome" so far in its support of Crossroads, and mentioned that if Friday's event was a success, it could very well extend over to Saturday. The items available at the yard sale are either unusuable by Crossroads or are left over after having already constructed care packages for current and future residents of the recovery home.
He also said that STOP was still accepting any and all donations, and that if anyone wanted to donate directly towards residents' children, the oldest child was around 14-years-old and the youngest was 2-years-old.
For more information, call the recovery home at (304) 664-2700 or the STOP offices at (304) 664-3986.

St. Vincent Heartbeat: Statins and Heart Health
By: Jessica Ward
Updated: March 13, 2013
Recently, the debate has focused on possible negative long-term effects of statins on memory loss, the incidence of cancer and the development of diabetes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now expanded the warning for statins with a statement that statin use may lead to cognitive impairment.
However, according to a recent study, published in the Journal of the American College for Cardiology, researchers found no significant risk of cancer or memorly loss due to statin use. They did find a small increased risk of type two diabetes.
Cardiologist Dr. Das believes the benefits in the reduction of cardiovascular events definitely outweighs the risks.
"There is a nine percent increase in the chance of developing new diabetes. However, the same population benefits from the use of statins, reducing the cardiovascular outcome. So, the net benefit is actually higher than the bad effect of developing diabetes, and diabetes often develops in people of higher age. So the younger population wouldn't fear developing diabetes as the older patients would."
He says lifestyle change should still be the first-line therapy. However, if the patient's cholesterol level remains abnormal, statins should be considered.
"I would certainly think that the results from the analysis would say these drugs are extremely safe. They do reduce the cardiovascular outcome and the standard of treatment should be to continue using this medication with some caution of looking out for onset of diabetes and treating the diabetes with some other medication.
Dr. Das says patients should try a healthy diet, regular exercise and weight loss before turning to medication.
Lipitor is still the number one prescribed statin.

I had my lumineers (8 upper front teeth) put in by Dr. Kesner in Sugarland about a year ago and very happy with the results. My teeth were not crooked or very yellow to begin with, but the lumineers (brightest color) really show my smile now. I am considering doing the lowers. The only... Read more

I am a 20 year old male and my teeth were not terrible but they were far from perfect. I felt self concious about them for two reasons.

My experience with Lumineers has been a mixed experience. I like my dentist very much, and he followed the directions from Lumineers exactly. That didn't always work.

I got veneers on my upper front 2 teeth. Prior to the veneers, I had bonding on those teeth for over 10 years as they came in with brown spots.

Five years ago my Dentist suggested Lumineers because I was 58 years old and the edges of my teeth had worn to the point I was having issues biting into certain foods.

Lumineers are a very bad idea.

I am in the RCIA at St. Catherine's in Wake Forest, and I have heard many things about you since starting the program. My daughter attends school there as well, so I have also seen you around on occasion.
I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you are. You teach more people than you know about how to truly have faith. We pray for you specifically at every one of our petitions, and I know there are countless others out there keeping you in their thoughts and prayers as well.
As a "newcomer" to the church, I want to thank you personally for being a such model of faith. In RCIA, sometimes it is difficult to let go of all of our questions and just have faith in God. You show us all how to do that.
God bless. - March 31, 2011 at 12:52 AM

I recently came across this post from Serious Eats for a Balsamic Strawberry Smash cocktail. At first, putting vinegar in my cocktail didn't seem that appealing. My childhood memory of smelling it whilst dyeing eggs at Easter time quickly flashed before me. In recent months, however, I've had the delight of using it in a nice vinaigrette dressing on a spinach and strawberry salad. So why not?
I refer you back to Serious Eats for the exact recipe, but this cocktail is surprisingly easy to make. Most of your time will be spent making the strawberry syrup. If any of you have experience making simple syrup at home, or better yet, your own real pomegranate grenadine, then you will find what I think is an easier way of doing things.
Instead of waiting days for the strawberries to lend their flavor to the syrup, I altered the process by adding a little water to my strawberries, lemon peel and granulated sugar. I felt it was necessary because after two hours, they had not lent any of their juice to the pot. I applied heat as directed and I came out with a thinner, albeit still on the rich side, strawberry simple syrup. I might add that you may wish to make a bit more of this syrup. Once you taste this cocktail, you will be having another.
I muddled four large, plump strawberries with a thin slice of lemon. Adding my strawberry syrup (made the night before) to the fruit along with the balsamic vinegar and bourbon to a cocktail shaker, I was ready to shake the daylights out of this one. I mean, you really have to shake a cocktail like this. As I mentioned before, my strawberry syrup came out pretty thick…almost like honey or agave nectar, if that will give you a frame of reference.
After shaking, I poured the drink into a pre-chilled cocktail glass using my cocktail strainer and fine mesh strainer, which I find is apperopos to use on shaken cocktails presented this way as to catch the shards of ice. However, you will need it for the simple reason, you don't want fruit pulp in this cocktail, much less those little seeds from the strawberry. I found it necessary to use my bar spoon to keep the strainer clear and aid in the filtering of drink.
All of this work was definitely worth the effort. The balsamic seemed to accentuate the strawberry flavor and helped balance out the cocktail. I used Buffalo Trace bourbon on this one, because it has worked well in sweet drinks in the past. I like sweet drinks, but not my favorite. This cocktail seems to get the balance right, pleasing those that prefer sweet over strong flavors and vice versa.
I'll definitely add this one to my favorites list to make when having company over!
