First Aid: Bleeding
Severe bleeding is a life-threatening medical emergency. The rapid loss of just two pints of blood can result in shock and loss of consciousness. A victim can bleed to death in a short time.
- To stop bleeding:
- Apply direct pressure on the wound.
- Cover with a sterile gauze pad—or the cleanest cloth readily available. Concerns about infection are secondary when it comes to preventing massive blood loss.
- Press the pad firmly over the wound using the palm of your hand. Don't lift the pad to check the wound—it will only renew bleeding.
- When a pad becomes soaked, put a fresh one directly over the old pad.
- If the wound is on a limb and there's no fracture, raise the limb above the level of the heart. Gravity will reduce the blood pressure in the limb.
- Direct pressure and elevation are usually sufficient to stop bleeding. If profuse bleeding continues, try shutting off circulation in the artery that supplies blood to the injured limb.

Every time President Obama explains why he wants to increase taxes on the richest 2 percent, Republicans have a ready answer: Most small business owners file their taxes as individuals, and a rate hike would discourage them from hiring new workers.
So when Obama visited the K'NEX factory in Pennsylvania recently to push for his tax plan, House Republicans countered with a campaign-style video, also featuring a Pennsylvania business.
In it, Gorski Engineering's owner, Jerry Gorski, explains how his company is set up as a "subchapter S" corporation under the tax code. "So however good or bad we do is my income," he says.
But how does that back up the fundamental Republican argument, that a higher tax rate would make it harder for him to hire new workers?
Actually, it doesn't. Which is why, Gorski told NPR in an interview, he specifically avoided saying that in the video. "I don't know that that would be true for my business or a different business unless we understood the complete situation."
Some of these situations, said other business owners, are such that the higher tax rate could actually act as an incentive to hire more employees or invest in new equipment.
"Because that would then lower your potential tax rate," said Mike Brey, owner of Hobby Works, a group of toy stores in the Washington, D.C., area.
If this seems counterintuitive, the answer lies in the way businesses calculate their taxes. Obama's proposal would increase the tax rate, but only for income that exceeds a quarter million dollars per household.
For some 97 percent of small business owners, that higher rate is irrelevant. They make less than $250,000 a year.
And for those whose income works out to be just over that threshold, one way out of paying that higher tax rate could be to hire one more person -- or finally replace that 10-year-old car. These investments would pull net income back under that quarter million dollar mark, out of range of that higher rate.
"I think if you're a person who hates paying taxes, hiring another employee for thirty or forty thousand a year is a great way to stay below the new so-called marginal rate," said Mike Roach, who has owned Paloma Clothing in Portland, Ore., for 37 years.
There are situations, though, where Obama's proposed higher rates would make it tougher for particular small businesses to expand.
Owners of franchise restaurants, for example, who need to save up tens of thousand of dollars in cash so they can open up a new eatery would have a harder time. Such savings are treated as business profit and therefore, in the case of most small businesses, personal income prior to the re-investment.
If that money is taxed at 35 percent instead of 31 percent, it would take somewhat longer to get to the necessary goal, said Don Fox, CEO of Florida-based Firehouse Subs.
Jerry Gorski similarly faces that higher tax rate when he saves up for a number of years to hire a highly paid employee or a piece of earth-moving equipment.
"If I start to build a nest egg again, if I start to invest in equipment and things, but I don't have as much to do that, or invest in people, which is our biggest resource, I don't have as much to do that, that's going to be difficult," Gorski said.
Of course, when Gorski finally does hire that expensive employee or buys that pricey backhoe, he will have a large, new expense he can write off -- potentially offsetting some or most of the extra taxes he had to pay earlier.
Brey, the owner of Hobby Works, says there's really nothing new or unusual about taking the tax code into account when making business decisions.
"The fact of the matter is, businesses, all businesses, large and small, do this all the time," he said.
One business strategy is to continually plow extra profit back into the business to avoid those higher tax rates. Eventually, the owner can sell the business or take it public, and convert those years of deferred income into a big cash payout.
And depending on how it's handled, selling a business can be considered capital gains -- taxed at a lower rate. "Right now?" Brey said. "A much lower rate."

Today, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to two Americans. They won for their work on sensors, or receptors, that sit on the surface of cells. The receptors make cells respond to chemical signals that your body releases when you react to the outside world. Maybe you were frightened by a sudden noise, or you just smell a tantalizing cup of coffee. NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce explains how these receptors work, and why they're so important to medicine.
NELL GREENFIELDBOYCE, BYLINE: Shortly after they called the winners to tell them the news, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences held a press conference this morning. They had one of the winners on the phone, to talk to reporters. Robert Lefkowitz said when the fateful call came, he didn't even hear the phone ring because he was sound asleep and wearing earplugs.
ROBERT LEFKOWITZ: And so my wife gave me an elbow - call for you. And there it was, a total shock and surprise.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: He said he had been planning an ordinary day at the office.
LEFKOWITZ: I was going to get a haircut but...
LEFKOWITZ: ...which, if you could see me, you would see is quite a necessity. But I'm afraid that'll probably have to be postponed.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Reached by phone later on, he said he had canceled his haircut. His wife told him, don't worry; slightly disheveled is a good look, for a Nobel Prize winner. His day had been a nonstop frenzy of phone calls - not just reporters, but friends and also, his five adult children, who were duly impressed.
LEFKOWITZ: I was actually taken aback by how excited they were. I mean, not that I wouldn't think they'd be excited that Dad won the Nobel Prize, but they just seemed like, over the moon.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Lefkowitz is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Duke University Medical Center. He started his research back in the early 1970s, hunting for receptors on the surface of cells that are sensitive to the fight-or-flight hormone, adrenaline.
LEFKOWITZ: There was tremendous skepticism as to whether they existed at all. And early in my career, that was the biggest obstacle, or hurdle, I faced - was a lot of pushback; that, you know, you can't do this. These receptors aren't really things you can study. They're just kind of some vague something.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Work in his lab showed how wrong that view was. His group found the gene for a receptor, and revealed that it was part of a large family of receptors called G protein-coupled receptors. Lots of common medications act on these receptors; everything from antihistamines to beta blockers. So understanding how the receptors work at the molecular level, could help scientists design better drugs.
LEFKOWITZ: It is amazing to me, to watch over the 40 or so years of my career how this field has grown and grown - and exploded. And it's now a huge, huge field. I mean, I have to be honest; I can't keep up with all the different ramifications anymore.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Lefkowitz is sharing the Nobel Prize with a close colleague who once worked in his lab. Brian Kobilka is now at Stanford University School of Medicine. Kobilka spent years trying to get a detailed picture of one of these receptors in action; to show exactly how it passes a signal from the outside of the cell, to a protein inside the cell. This seemed so impossible that at times, his lab struggled to get funding. But just last year, he announced that they had done it. Chuck Sanders is a biochemist at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
CHUCK SANDERS: I was in China about a year and a half ago, where he presented this work for the very first time, at a meeting. And there was just a hush of awe, in the audience, when he flashed the structure up on the screen. It was a really, really major accomplishment.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Sanders says this kind of scientific feat isn't luck.
SANDERS: He was only able to do that because he had basically devoted his life to studying these receptors. And it was his knowledge of these receptors that led to the technical breakthroughs, that led to that structure.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Reached by cellphone a few hours after he'd been told he won the Nobel, Kobilka sounded kind of stunned.
BRIAN KOBILKA: I'm still a little in - a little bit in disbelief. But I'm pretty sure this isn't dream anymore.
KOBILKA: I guess I have to - I guess it's real.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: He says when the call from Sweden woke him up, he knew it couldn't be some kind of practical joke. There were just too many people on the line, all congratulating him, with very convincing Swedish accents.

Food Blog Forum Orlando & A Sangria Recipe!
Hard to believe that just last weekend I was in lovely Florida teaching a hands-on photography workshop to a great bunch of bloggers or food enthusiasts. That Sunday was just the icing on the cake actually of an already darn good time in Orlando where I had come to speak at Food Blog Forum (FBF).
When Jaden asked if I wanted to be part of FBF Orlando for the photo sessions, I did not hesitate long. Jaden's energy, kindness and genuine interest in people know no boundaries. She's always been great of great counsel to me and I always feel relaxed and smiling after a few hours in her presence. After the intense rhythm of the past 6 months I needed to relax. Mapping out the next six months made me realize it was now or never to give myself a mandatory break.
I was thrilled to see Julie again and let me tell you, she deserves a long line of kuddos, and "thank yous" for organizing the event so successfully. Not only did she organize the main event on Saturday but she also helped put together an extra hands-on worshop on Sunday for people who wanted to practice more or could not make it to FBF the day before. Thank you Julie!
It does sound cliche but I was thrilled to see familiar faces as well as finally meet the people behind my weekly reads. I love this community. Food bloggers are the best! The generosity of the food community in Florida is awesome. It made me even more excited to be back that way later in the summer and I am looking forward to seeing those wonderful peeps again.
The weekend kicked off with a little mixer/get together at Whole Foods where we were showered with attention, food and wine. Everything from small savory bites, chocolate mousse in chocolate cups to live cooking demos. Every one had the chance to mingle and introduce themselves as well as get all revved up for the next day's events.
Indeed, Saturday was packed. I love events such as these because there is always something to learn, something to contribute and something to walk away with whether you are a speaker or an attendee. It was like a grand big talk where everyone was at ease to speak, listen and as questions.
It was a treat listening to Jaden and Scott, Jeff Houck from the Tampa Tribune, Heather McPherson from the Orlando Sentinel, Peter Scott from Izea, Lindsay Landis from Purrdesign and Dawn Viola from Wicked Good Dinner. Tons of topics were covered so that everyone could find something that pertained to where they were in their blogging journey. Branding, working with newspapers, working with brands, SEO, blog design, and photography and styling.
My presentation was broken in two parts with the first one covering basics of camera modes, natural and artificial light while the second part was a live composition and styling demo. I focused the demo on two items, one was a pretty and colorful mixed salad and the other a goopy brown scoop of sun dried tomato and white bean spread. I took the group through my thought process for composing my shot and styling the food just as if I were at home working blog or in the studio with a client.
Here is a recap of the styling photo composition session. Bear in mind that these were just decisions I took on that specific occasion. I am in no way saying that these are the decisive steps to style salads or dips. Every time I style salads and spreads I find myself doing it in a myriad of other ways:
– The salad was to be composed of mixed greens, mixed bean salad, cucumber salad, grilled shrimp and grape tomatoes.
– I decided not to scatter the ingredients all over the salad because they would get lost and would make it hard for the viewer to tell what was what.
– Instead I created small clusters of each component and placed them on the outside so that the bulk of the greens would still be visible and indicate it was a salad indeed.
– I cut a couple of the tomatoes open to add visual interest with a different angle and cut.
– I did not have vinaigrette for the salad but if I'd had some, I would have waited until the last minute to use it on the salad to keep the greens as fresh as possible.
– there were only white plates or rustic yellow bowls available as props (I had brought linens and my styling kit).
– I picked the yellow bowl to play with the all the colors of the salad components and it complemented the linens and surface I was working on.
– kept a 3/4 camera point of view so that I could show the bowl in its entirety without any weird angle and without being too "in your face" which is not helpful when you are trying to see the bigger picture.
– I picked and a medium depth of field, not too shallow that you could not tell the ingredients apart and not too deep that they were all in focus. It helped hide the fact that the cucumber was a bit passed its prime too.
The spread came from a standard grocery store plastic container which I decided not to keep for aesthetics reason and instead decided to show what one can do with a "goopey mess".
– Instead of plating a mound of spread, surrounded by bread slices and a few salad leaves for garnish, I decided to show a progression and use the spread in action so to speak.
– it allows one to play with shapes and angles and not be restricted by just one direction and composition.
– Spreads and dips are less difficult to style and more interesting to shoot if you make them do something.
– I placed a large spoonful of the spread on the side as to show my starting point
– I cut out some slices of bread and spread some of the dip on half the slices, leaving the remaining half without to show that there were still plenty to be used.
– I left the knife on the plate to reinforce this idea of movement from the starting scoop of dip to using the bread to eat it with, etc…
– I used a spring of thyme as it was part of the herbs listed in the ingredient list and it added a nice touch to the plate. I could have scattered more around but it was not really necessary with the view point I wanted to try for taking the shot.
– I went with a closer/tighter camera angle and viewpoint than the salad because there was no reason to show more of the spread/dip than necessary. It was not pretty in its natural state so it was best to focus on the best toast with dip on it.
– I chose a shallow depth of field to keep the background element of more spread and bread which were not that visually interested out of focus but still part of the plate.
Beside picking out the ingredients to style, I did not think a whole lot about what I would do until it was time to do the demo. I wanted to keep things as spontaneous as possible and talk participants through issues or decisions as I was encountering them myself. It also showed them that there is no trick or scientific formulas behind all this. The magic one creates is nothing but a series of decisions and attempts. I also stressed out that this is what I went for that specific day but I could have gone many different ways on many different days depending on light, props, ingredients, time, mood and feel I wanted to portray. There is no wrong or right. Just do what feels sincere to you.
That was the focus of the Sunday workshop which took place independently from FBF. I pretty much let the group lose at Whole Foods (!) to pick a few items to style and we went more in details about camera modes and angles, natural light and how to use its different sources for different purpose, diffusing, bouncing, speedlight and studio light for those who have to shoot late at night. After that everyone styled and composed a shot and I went around giving tips and techniques they could also use.
My goal was to give them as many tools as possible whether they decide to use one or ten. Knowledge is power. So is coming up with your own visual identity. I was thrilled to have 12 participants come up with 12 different ways to view their relationship with the camera. What a breath of fresh air! It was the best 4 hours spent before an airplane ride back to Charleston.
Thank you to all the people who attended FBF! If a Food Blog Forum comes close to you one day, hurry to be part of it. You won't regret it. You can read more opinions, recaps, thoughts and takeaways on the event at the bottom of the Food Blog Forum Orlando page, here.
It's another packed Sunday here with friends as well as scheduling work and we are all in the kitchen making Sangria, one of the drinks served at the FBF Saturday reception held at McCormick & Schmick's. I was so busy playing that I forgot to ask them for the recipe but I knew that my buddy Taylor had a scrumptious one on his blog. Head after the jump to read more about it.
Happy Sunday!

1* When you sit down to dine with a ruler,
mark well the one who is before you;
2Stick the knife in your gullet*
if you have a ravenous appetite.
3Do not desire his delicacies;
it is food that deceives.
4Do not wear yourself out to gain wealth,
cease to be worried about it;
5When your glance flits to it, it is gone!
For assuredly it grows wings,
like the eagle that flies toward heaven.*
6* Do not take food with unwilling hosts,
and do not desire their delicacies;
7For like something stuck in the throat is that food.
"Eat and drink," they say to you,
but their hearts are not with you;
8The little you have eaten you will vomit up,
and you will have wasted your agreeable words.
9Do not speak in the hearing of fools;
they will despise the wisdom of your words.a
10Do not remove the ancient landmark,b
nor invade the fields of the fatherless;*
11For their redeemer is strong;
he will defend their cause against you.c
12Apply your heart to instruction,
and your ear to words of knowledge.
13* Do not withhold discipline from youths;
if you beat them with the rod, they will not die.d
14Beat them with the rod,e
and you will save them from Sheol.
15My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart also will rejoice;
16And my inmost being will exult,
when your lips speak what is right.
17Do not let your heart envy sinners,f
but only those who always fear the LORD;*
18For you will surely have a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.g
19Hear, my son, and be wise,
and guide your heart in the right way.
20Do not join with wine bibbers,
nor with those who glut themselves on meat.
21For drunkards and gluttons come to poverty,
and lazing about clothes one in rags.
22* Listen to your father who begot you,
do not despise your mother when she is old.
23Buy truth and do not sell:
wisdom, instruction, understanding!
24The father of a just person will exult greatly;
whoever begets a wise son will rejoice in him.h
25Let your father and mother rejoice;
let her who bore you exult.
26* My son, give me your heart,
and let your eyes keep to my ways,
27For the harlot is a deep pit,
and the foreign woman a narrow well;
28Yes, she lies in wait like a robber,i
and increases the number of the faithless.
29* Who scream? Who shout?
Who have strife? Who have anxiety?
Who have wounds for nothing?
Who have bleary eyes?
30Whoever linger long over wine,
whoever go around quaffing wine.j
31Do not look on the wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup.
It goes down smoothly,
32but in the end it bites like a serpent,
and stings like an adder.
33Your eyes behold strange sights,
and your heart utters incoherent things;
34You are like one sleeping on the high seas,
sprawled at the top of the mast.
35"They struck me, but it did not pain me;
they beat me, but I did not feel it.
When can I get up,
when can I go out and get more?"*
* [23:1–9] Four admonitions for someone aspiring to be a sage: be careful about advancing your career by socializing with the great (vv. 1–3); avoid greed (vv. 4–5); do not force yourself on an unwilling host (vv. 6–8); do not waste your wisdom on those who cannot profit from it (v. 9).
* [23:2] Stick the knife in your gullet: a metaphor for self-restraint. The usual translation, "Put a knife to your throat," is misleading, for in English it is a death threat. The exhortation is humorously exaggerated: stick the table-knife in your own gullet rather than take too much food. It assumes that the young courtier is unused to opulent banquets and will be tempted to overindulgence.
* [23:5] The frustration of covetous intent and elusiveness of wealth are portrayed by the sudden flight of an eagle. Amenemope, chap. 7, has a similar statement: "Do not set your heart on wealth. There is no ignoring Fate and Destiny; / Do not let your heart go straying." Proverbs imagines covetous intent as a flight of the eyes, whereas Amenemope imagines it as a straying of the heart.
* [23:6–8] Some humorous advice on not trading on the courtesy of unwilling hosts who, for convention's sake, use the language of welcome. Amenemope, chap. 11, gives similar advice: "Do not intrude on a man in his house, / Enter when you have been called; / He may say 'Welcome' with his mouth, / Yet deride you in his thoughts." "Unwilling," lit., "evil of eye," is usually translated "stingy," but the context suggests unwilling. In v. 8, the unwanted guest vomits up the food, thus destroying the desired good impression. Proverbs regards the uninvited banqueters as thieves who will suffer the consequences of their theft. Amenemope, chap. 11, is relevant: "Do not covet a poor man's goods,…A poor man's goods are a block in the throat, / It makes the gullet vomit."
* [23:10] In Israel ownership of property and other legal rights were vested mainly in the father as head of the family; thus the widow and fatherless child were vulnerable, left prey to those who would exploit them.
* [23:13–14] The young will not die from instructional blows but from their absence, for (premature) death results from uncorrected folly. The sardonic humor means the exhortation is not to be taken literally, as an argument for corporal punishment. The next verses (vv. 15–16) are exceedingly tender toward the young.
* [23:17] Those whom one admires or associates with exercise enormous influence. Do not join the wicked, who are a doomed group. The warning is repeated in 24:1–2, 19–20.
* [23:22–23] Father and mother are associated with truth and wisdom. One should no more rid oneself of truth and wisdom than rid oneself of one's parents, who are their source.
* [23:26–28] The exhortation is a condensed version of chap. 7 with its emotional appeal to "my son" to avoid the forbidden woman (7:1–5), her traps (7:21–23), and her intent to add the youth to her list of victims (7:24–27). As in 23:15, 19, 22, a trustful and affectionate relationship between student and teacher is the basis of teaching. The danger of the woman is expressed in imagery that has sexual overtones (cf. 22:14).
* [23:29–35] A vivid description of the evil effects, physical and psychological, of drunkenness. The emphasis is on the unwise behavior, the folly, caused by alcohol. Cf. 20:1.
* [23:35] Drunkards become insensible to bodily and moral harm. Their one desire is to indulge again.

The PRISM Climate Group gathers climate observations from a wide range of monitoring networks, applies sophisticated quality control measures, and develops spatial climate datasets to reveal short- and long-term climate patterns. The resulting datasets incorporate a variety of modeling techniques and are available at multiple spatial/temporal resolutions, covering the period from 1895 to the present. Whenever possible, we offer these datasets to the public, either free of charge or for a fee (depending on dataset size/complexity and funding available for the activity).
30-Year Normals: At the end of each decade, average values for temperature and precipitation are computed over the preceding 30 years. The current set of 30-year normals covers the period 1991-2020.
Comparisons: Maps showing how observed values have been deviating from long-term conditions (also known as anomalies) - includes the new Drought Indicator tool.
This Month: Although still very preliminary, results based on daily data readings are available for the month-in-progress.
Prior 6 Months: Provisional results based on both monthly and daily data are available for the 6 most recently completed months.
Recent Years: Daily and monthly observations become stabilized after 6 months. At that point the time series datasets are posted in this section, along with annual values computed at the end of each year.
Historical Past: Values prior to 1981 are based on less extensive observations. Time series datasets computed using monthly modeling are available for the years 1895-1990.
Projects: Map images and data prepared for outside agencies but now released for public use. Includes USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Maps, climate data for areas outside the continental U.S., and map images for individual states.
Data Explorer: analyze and download time-series data for a single location.

Thanks to Pipeliner Kim for sharing with me that the Clapotis is her comfort knitting, which she also called "Mac n Cheese Knitting." So fun. My idea of comfort knitting is a garter stitch shawl.

I started a Wool Peddlers Shawl by Chery Oberle but with a different method of starting the shawl. I used what might be called the Garter Tab method. My thoughts for this method:
- Sometimes the pattern calls for a provisional cast on for 2 or 3 stitches. I don't bother with a provisional cast-on now. I have tried it both ways and it isn't worth it in my opinion.
- I usually knit two more rows on the tab than the pattern calls for which makes it easier to pick up the required number of stitches.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Helsinki Commissioners welcomed news that the European Court on Human Rights issued a decision yesterday awarding damages to eight Romani women. The plaintiffs had sued the Slovak Government in connection with investigations into sterilization without informed consent.
Senator Benjamin L. Cardin, Chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, remarked on the decision: "I have personally expressed my concern to both Czech and Slovak officials regarding the sterilization without informed consent of Romani women. Neither government has done enough to acknowledge this past practice or to provide victims with remedies, so I am particularly pleased that these women have persevered and prevailed."
"It is a travesty of justice that these victims were denied adequate access to their very own medical records, which they have sought for nearly a decade now. I commend them for their courage and tenaciousness throughout this ordeal," stated Co-Chairman Congressman Alcee L. Hastings.
Ranking Member Congressman Christopher H. Smith added that, "The full extent of the emotional and physical damage these women have suffered is incalculable, yet it is my hope that the court's decision provides them some measure of justice and comfort, and serves as a clear warning to the human rights abusers who even today are coercively sterilizing women elsewhere in the world."
Based on theories of eugenics, the Czechoslovak communist state targeted Romani women for sterilization. Although the sterilization policy ended with the fall of communism, the practice continued sporadically in both the Czech and Slovak Republics even after the end of communism.
An October 2000 Slovak Government national strategy paper reportedly stated, "[i]f we do not succeed in integrating the Romani population and modify their reproduction[,] the percentage of nonqualified and handicapped persons in the population will increase."
In 2001, the spokesperson for the Minister for Human Rights and National Minorities threatened that women who came forward alleging wrongful sterilization would go to jail.
In 2001, Romani activist Alexander Patkolo was threatened with the criminal charge of "spreading alarming information" for even suggesting that Romani women had been sterilized without informed consent.
In 2002, then-opposition MP Robert Fico (now Prime Minister) ran on a parliamentary campaign pledge to "actively effect the irresponsible growth of the Roman[i] population."
On December 13, 2006, Slovakia's highest court ruled that the regional prosecution's investigation in the cases of three Romani women alleging wrongful sterilization had been so faulty that it violated both the Slovak Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.
In Case of K.H. and Others v. Slovakia, announced yesterday, the European Court on Human Rights found a violation of article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to a hearing regarding civil rights and obligations) and article 8 (right to family life).

About Prof. MD R. Lange
Cases of cardiovascular disease are on the increase worldwide. There has been a sea change in treatment methods over the last few years. At the German Heart Centre Munich, the disciplines of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery have been organised in an interdisciplinary structure to enable even complicated forms of cardiovascular disease to be treated.
The German Heart Centre Munich (DHM), part of Munich University of Technology, is one of the world's leading and most modern specialist centres for the treatment of cardiovascular disease in adults and children. Founded in 1974, the DHM was one of Europe's first heart centres and has provided the impetus for numerous medical developments since then. An early milestone was the first successful heart transplant in Germany, which took place on 7 May 1981. Professor Rüdiger Lange has been Director of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at the DHM since 1999. He has overseen the development of minimally invasive surgery, the world's first totally endoscopic mitral valve reconstruction using the Da Vinci robotic system and the earliest example worldwide of the implantation of a catheter-supported CoreValve aortic valve via the apex of the heart and aorta.
Just ten years ago, the standard procedure for most patients was still open heart surgery, whereas today the point of access and the surgical method are adapted to meet the individual needs of the patient. Our department attaches particular importance to preserving – i.d. reconstructing – the heart valve in heart valve repair procedures. This requires exceptionally well experienced and specially trained surgeons.
We also specialise in minimally invasive surgery, which only requires small incisions. This technique has cosmetic benefits and also speeds up the healing process. For example, video-assisted reconstruction of the mitral valve uses incisions of only five to six centimetres in length extending from the right rib cage. It is no longer necessary to open the sternum with this method.
Paediatric heart operations also pose a special challenge to surgeons, which is why we have set up a specially trained operative team in our department. Because of this, we are now a leading international provider of treatment for congenital heart defects in adults and children, both in terms of our expertise and the number of operations we perform. We have even repaired complex congenital heart defects in babies weighing less than 2,000 grams.
The department is one of the world's leading centres for valve implantations via catheter, with nearly 1,000 implantations performed since 2007. This method opens up new treatment options, particularly for elderly high-risk patients for whom a traditional operation is not recommended. The surgery is performed on the beating heart through a vascular incision in the groin. If the artery in the groin is unsuitable, the cardiac valveis implanted through a minimal incision in the chest and via the apex of the heart. This procedure is particularly low-impact for patients.
The DHM is held in such high regard because, besides our top-quality medical care and full range of heart treatments, we also offer a special level of service for non-Germanspeaking patients. For example, the centre's signs are multilingual to ensure everyone can find their way, while an interpreting service helps people understand what is going on throughout their stay. Our staff go out of their way to accommodate the special requests of patients and work in a courteous and friendly manner. We have published detailed information for you in several languages on our website.

I myself had this gap in my PHP knowledge until recently and had to google to find this out. I think this page should have a "See also" link to static function variables.
