The Device Renewal Forum (DRF) has established a global standard for renewing, inspecting, testing and certifying the proper operation, performance and appearance of used devices.
Facilities and devices that meet the rigorous requirements established by the DRF program are authorized to receive a Certificate of Acceptance and may bear the DRF Certification Mark on their website, advertising, packaging, and devices.
The program ensures that renewed devices conform to the high standards of repair, testing and acceptance criteria. It ensures that devices appear, function and perform properly prior to re-entering the marketplace, that data security and privacy is not compromised, and that the devices were not stolen.
In addition to specifying the key criteria for device certification, the program also outlines the key requirements to be met by facilities looking to get DRF certified. This includes defining the roles, responsibilities, procedures, guidelines, tests, acceptance criteria, resources and requirements necessary to support the certification of renewed wireless devices.
The DRF works with its members to ensure all certification criteria are met prior to issuing the Certificate of Acceptance and DRF Certification Mark, and performs regular audits on DRF certified facilities to ensure ongoing compliance.

I think the gestures should be taken off of the directional pad, and pushing JUST "up" on directional pad should bring up a gesture selection wheel, and then D-Pad "right" can be Ammo Expendables selection wheel for regular, heavy and special, because if there IS a way to use expendables quickly, a short cut in battle, I don't know it. This way you'd still have 2 more directions to open selection wheels for other sub-selections. What do we think? I love the game so far. Cheers.
R4BI3S9/16/2014 6:56:33 PM PermalinkGood ideas. One of my own: "Point" (D-pad left) would be more handy if it would highlight the object in question - like a loot box or a high-priority target. I know it's derivative of other games, but exactly what's original nowadays? And eliminate "sit". D-pad down can be used better.
Mortacai9/16/2014 6:07:09 PM PermalinkGood idea, however if I had a choice I would rather hold the reload button on the empty gun that is selected and have the synthesis option come up and quickly press "X" to confirm using it for a reload. However I would take a shortcut anyway it comes.

Today we're very pleased to introduce you to NancyCarol. She's our History Buff Contributor on Squidoo.
Tell us a little bit about your niche topic.
I'm the History Buff Contributor as well as the Women in the Military Contributor. These two niches constantly intermingle, so it's a nice fit. I love the stories that can be found in history, the little nuggets that give us that, "Wow, I didn't know that!" feeling when discovered. History is not dull.
Tell us about the moment you fell in love with your topic. Was it an immediate thing or did it happen over time?
My love affair with historical stories began in my 8th grade, with a great history teacher, who taught us that getting to know history doesn't have to be dull. Learning about the stories of people, places, things, events can be exciting. He taught us to look for the interesting part of history, and I've never forgotten it.
Who had the most influence in your life?
There are many other influences, but my mother was the greatest one. She never had more than a grade school education, but firmly believed in learning. She encouraged my love of books from the time I was three years old. As I grew up, I have memories of sitting in the evening after dinner with her at our kitchen table, both of us reading a book. She would ask me if she came across a word she didn't understand, and then we'd go to the dictionary. She loved it that I had a love for reading and for words.
NancyCarol invites you to share a review at her lens, Review one of these Historical Movies.
When she isn't here on Squidoo, you can also find NancyCarol at the following places online:

IGNACE, Ontario — The Rev. Dawn (Woodward) Gotoh-Stevens of Ignace, Ontario, Canada, passed away on Aug. 25, 2011, of complications due to bypass surgery.
She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Royce and Marjorie Woodward, on May 23, 1943, and reared in Mount Vernon.
She is survived by her beloved spouse, Anne Gotoh-Stevens; her children, Naomi (Travis) Marsh and Marc (Shoko) Gotoh. Also surviving are her mother, Marjorie Woodward Walcutt; her stepfather, Robert Walcutt; her brother, Marc Woodward (Kathy); nephew, Ian; cousins, Mike and Judy Christian of Westerville, and Anne Pohner of Hawaii. She is survived by grandchildren, Lexie, Arya and Nico Gotoh of Shanghai; former spouse, Yoshio Gotoh (Sanae).
Dawn was preceded in death by her father, Royce Woodward.
Dawn loved music and the ministry. She was a graduate of Westminster Choir College, Princeton Theological Seminary. She was a religious educator and later became a United Methodist minister. She served in churches in the Chicago area and later in life in two churches in Ignace.
Although Dawn had health concerns for many years, her death was unexpected. She truly celebrated life and enjoyed all the people she met. Dawn would want us to grieve her passing in the arms of loved ones and to celebrate the joys of "family." In memory of her life, please consider giving to the Prader-Willi Society, the Alzheimer's Society or gift to the charity of your choice.
A celebration of Dawn's life will be at the First Presbyterian Church of Mount Vernon on Saturday, Oct. 1, at 10:30 a.m., with the Rev. Jonathan Fettig officiating.
To Dawn:
My pain echoes in the cry of the loon,
I still feel your hand in mine.
Our love will live forever
Beyond the bounds of time.

The Jonas Brothers shot their first video together in almost four years last month in New Orleans, taking the field along with the NFL cheerleading teams for the Saints and Hornets. The Jo Bros video for Pom Poms, the first single from their now completed upcoming album, also includes a cameo from Southern University's marching band. The trio released a photo from the video shoot that shows the brothers performing along with a drummer and horn section.
This weekend the band announced their official release date for the new single, with Pom Poms hitting radio waves across North America on Tuesday, April 9. A short snippet of the new song has leaked online, and the poppy, energetic track plays like a return to the Jonas Brother's sound as opposed to the solo work brothers Nick and Joe have released in the past.
Since taking a break from the band, all three brothers have stayed busy in the entertainment business. Joe Jonas released his first solo record with Fast Life, touring with Jay Sean. Nick Jonas returned to Broadway with a starring role in How To Succeed in Business and made guest appearances on a number of TV shows, including Smash. Kevin Jonas and wife Danielle launched their own E! reality series Married To Jonas, with the second season confirmed for Spring 2013.

No Benefit From Early Goal Directed Therapy
March 19, 2014 by Cliff
Filed under Acute Med, All Updates, Guidelines, ICU, Resus
The first of three major trials assessing early goal directed therapy (EGDT) in sepsis – the American ProCESS Trial – has been published.
It showed what many of us thought – that the specific monitoring via a central line of central venous oxygen saturation – was not necessary for improved survival.
However the trial randomised 1341 patients to one of three arms:
(1) protocolised EGDT
(2) protocol-based standard therapy that did not require the placement of a central venous catheter, administration of inotropes, or blood transfusions
(3) 'usual care' which was not standardised.
There were no differences in any of the primary or secondary outcomes between the groups.
Interestingly, in the six hours of early care that the trial dictated, the volume of intravenous fluids administered differed significantly among the groups (2.8 litres in the protocol-based EGDT group, 3.3 litres in the protocol-based standard-therapy group, and 2.3 litres in the usual-care group).
There was also a difference in the amount of vasopressor given, with more patients in the two protocol-based groups receiving vasopressors (54.9% in the protocol-based EGDT group, 52.2% in the protocol-based standard-therapy group, 44.1% in the usual-care group).
The use of intravenous fluids, vasopressors, dobutamine, and blood transfusions between 6 and 72 hours did not differ significantly among the groups.
Overall 60 day mortality was in the region of 20% for all groups.
What are the take home points here? Firstly, overall sepsis outcomes have improved over recent years, and early recognition and antibiotic administration may be the most important components of care. In the early emergency department phase of care, protocolised fluid and vasopressor therapy may not be as important as we thought. Good clinical assessment and regular review seem to be as effective and perhaps more important than any specific monitoring modality or oxygen delivery-targeted drug and blood therapy.
We all await the ARISE and ProMISE studies which may shed more light on the most important components of early sepsis care.
A Randomized Trial of Protocol-Based Care for Early Septic Shock
NEJM Mar 18 2014 (Full Text Link)
Background: In a single-center study published more than a decade ago involving patients presenting to the emergency department with severe sepsis and septic shock, mortality was markedly lower among those who were treated according to a 6-hour protocol of early goal-directed therapy (EGDT), in which intravenous fluids, vasopressors, inotropes, and blood transfusions were adjusted to reach central hemodynamic targets, than among those receiving usual care. We conducted a trial to determine whether these findings were generalizable and whether all aspects of the protocol were necessary.
Methods: In 31 emergency departments in the United States, we randomly assigned patients with septic shock to one of three groups for 6 hours of resuscitation: protocol-based EGDT; protocol-based standard therapy that did not require the placement of a central venous catheter, administration of inotropes, or blood transfusions; or usual care. The primary end point was 60-day in-hospital mortality. We tested sequentially whether protocol-based care (EGDT and standard-therapy groups combined) was superior to usual care and whether protocol-based EGDT was superior to protocol-based standard therapy. Secondary outcomes included longer-term mortality and the need for organ support.
Results: We enrolled 1341 patients, of whom 439 were randomly assigned to protocol-based EGDT, 446 to protocol-based standard therapy, and 456 to usual care. Resuscitation strategies differed significantly with respect to the monitoring of central venous pressure and oxygen and the use of intravenous fluids, vasopressors, inotropes, and blood transfusions. By 60 days, there were 92 deaths in the protocol-based EGDT group (21.0%), 81 in the protocol-based standard-therapy group (18.2%), and 86 in the usual-care group (18.9%) (relative risk with protocol-based therapy vs. usual care, 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 1.31; P=0.83; relative risk with protocol-based EGDT vs. protocol-based standard therapy, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.51; P=0.31). There were no significant differences in 90-day mortality, 1-year mortality, or the need for organ support.
Conclusions: In a multicenter trial conducted in the tertiary care setting, protocol-based resuscitation of patients in whom septic shock was diagnosed in the emergency department did not improve outcomes
Is 4 Joules per kg enough in kids?

Researchers from the Iberian-American Paediatric Cardiac Arrest Study Network challenge the evidence base behind defibrillation shock dose recommendations in children.
In a study of in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest due to VT or VF, clinical outcome was not related to the cause or location of arrest, type of defibrillator and waveform, energy dose per shock, number of shocks, or cumulative energy dose, although there was a trend to better survival with higher doses per shock. 50% of children required more than the recommended 4J per kg and in over a quarter three or more shocks were needed to achieve defibrillation.
Shockable rhythms and defibrillation during in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest
Resuscitation. 2014 Mar;85(3):387-91
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that included defibrillation during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IH-CA) in children.
METHODS: A prospective multicenter, international, observational study on pediatric IH-CA in 12 European and Latin American countries, during 24 months. Data from 502 children between 1 month and 18 years were collected using the Utstein template. Patients with a shockable rhythm that was treated by electric shock(s) were included. The primary endpoint was survival at hospital discharge. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to find outcome factors.
RESULTS: Forty events in 37 children (mean age 48 months, IQR: 7-15 months) were analyzed. An underlying disease was present in 81.1% of cases and 24.3% had a previous CA. The main cause of arrest was a cardiac disease (56.8%). In 17 episodes (42.5%) ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) was the first documented rhythm, and in 23 (57.5%) it developed during CPR efforts. In 11 patients (27.5%) three or more shocks were needed to achieve defibrillation. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was obtained in 25 cases (62.5%), that was sustained in 20 (50.0%); however only 12 children (32.4%) survived to hospital discharge. Children with VF/pVT as first documented rhythm had better sustained ROSC (64.7% vs. 39.1%, p=0.046) and survival to hospital discharge rates (58.8% vs. 21.7%, p=0.02) than those with subsequent VF/pVT. Survival rate was inversely related to duration of CPR. Clinical outcome was not related to the cause or location of arrest, type of defibrillator and waveform, energy dose per shock, number of shocks, or cumulative energy dose, although there was a trend to better survival with higher doses per shock (25.0% with <2Jkg(-1), 43.4% with 2-4Jkg(-1) and 50.0% with >4Jkg(-1)) and worse with higher number of shocks and cumulative energy dose.
CONCLUSION: The termination of pediatric VF/pVT in the IH-CA setting is achieved in a low percentage of instances with one electrical shock at 4Jkg(-1). When VF/pVT is the first documented rhythm, the results of defibrillation are better than in the case of subsequent VF/pVT. No clear relationship between defibrillation protocol and ROSC or survival has been observed. The optimal pediatric defibrillation dose remains to be determined; therefore current resuscitation guidelines cannot be considered evidence-based, and additional research is needed.
Guidelines on prehospital drug-assisted LMA insertion
December 9, 2013 by Cliff
Filed under All Updates, EMS, Guidelines, Trauma
The UK's Faculty of Prehospital Care has published a number of consensus guidelines in this month's EMJ
Dr Minh Le Cong's PHARM blog has summaries of three of them:
- The prehospital management of pelvic fractures
- Pre-hospital spinal immobilisation
- Minimal patient handling
The final one is the most contentious: Pharmacologically assisted laryngeal mask insertion: a consensus statement(1). Here is the summary:
- The PALM technique is an acceptable tool for managing the prehospital airway
- The PALM technique is indicated in a rare set of circumstances
- The PALM procedure is a rescue technique
- The PALM procedure should be checklist driven
- At least a second generation SAD should be used
- End-tidal CO2 monitoring is mandatory
- No preference is expressed for any particular drug
- No preference is expressed for any particular dosing regime
- Flumazenil is highly unlikely to have a role in managing the PALM patient
- The PALM procedure should only be carried out by practitioners of level 7 or above competences
- The availability of a trained assistant, familiar with the procedure would be advantageous
- The training required to achieve competency in performing the PALM procedure must include in-hospital insertion of SADs, simulation training and training in the transfer of critically ill patients
- Data should be collected and collated at a national level for all patients who receive the PALM procedure
They qualify the first point with the statement: The consensus group felt that, in the hands of a specific set of practitioners and in certain circumstances, patients would benefit from the technique. It was recognised that pre-hospital airway management can be very challenging, and deeming the technique unacceptable could deprive patients of a potentially life saving intervention. It was felt that having another tool available to clinicians which could potentially improve patient outcome was important. This was despite the lack of a robust evidence base. It was felt that the technique is indicated in, and should be limited to, a very specific set of circumstances as described below
The publication lists some 'Organisations represented at the consensus meeting', which include some commercial training and equipment companies.
It also states that 'The Royal College of Anaesthetists, although represented at the initial meeting, was unable to support the outcomes agreed by the other represented organisations.'
This is a very interesting development. I can see the pros and cons of this. Since practitioners are out there doing PALM anyway, it is in the interests of patients to produce a statement that encourages monitoring, checklists, training, and data collection. To meet all the requirements, one must undergo 'training in the transfer of critically ill patients', which would normally necessitate more advanced airway and anaesthesia skills anyway.
A tough one – what would you want if there was no RSI capability but you were hypoxic with trismus and basic airway maneouvres were failing? An all out ban on PALM, or PALM provided by someone trained in surgical airway if it fails (as per the consensus recommendations)?

Therapeutic hypothermia does not improve arrest outcome
November 18, 2013 by Cliff
Filed under Acute Med, All Updates, EMS, Guidelines, ICU, Resus
A paper published today represents to me what's great about science.
I am impressed with those investigators who had the wherewithall to subject previous therapeutic hypothermia studies to skeptical scrutiny and then design and conduct a robust multicentre trial to answer the question.
One of the criticisms of the original two studies was that those patients who were not actively cooled did not have their temperature tightly controlled, and therefore some were allowed to become hypERthermic, which is bad for brains.
This latest study showed no difference in survival or neurological outcome after cardiac arrest between target temperatures of 33°C and 36°C.
So controlling the temperature after cardiac arrest is still important, but cooling down to the recommended range of 32-4°C is not.
Read the full study at the NEJM site.
Targeted Temperature Management at 33°C versus 36°C after Cardiac Arrest
NEJM November 17, 2013 Full text
BACKGROUND Unconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have a high risk of death or poor neurologic function. Therapeutic hypothermia is recommended by international guidelines, but the supporting evidence is limited, and the target temperature associated with the best outcome is unknown. Our objective was to compare two target temperatures, both intended to prevent fever.
METHODS In an international trial, we randomly assigned 950 unconscious adults after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of presumed cardiac cause to targeted temperature management at either 33°C or 36°C. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality through the end of the trial. Secondary outcomes included a composite of poor neurologic function or death at 180 days, as evaluated with the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale and the modified Rankin scale.
RESULTS In total, 939 patients were included in the primary analysis. At the end of the trial, 50% of the patients in the 33°C group (235 of 473 patients) had died, as compared with 48% of the patients in the 36°C group (225 of 466 patients) (hazard ratio with a temperature of 33°C, 1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89 to 1.28; P=0.51). At the 180-day follow-up, 54% of the patients in the 33°C group had died or had poor neurologic function according to the CPC, as compared with 52% of patients in the 36°C group (risk ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.16; P=0.78). In the analysis using the modified Rankin scale, the comparable rate was 52% in both groups (risk ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.89 to 1.14; P=0.87). The results of analyses adjusted for known prognostic factors were similar.
CONCLUSIONS In unconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of presumed cardiac cause, hypothermia at a targeted temperature of 33°C did not confer a benefit as compared with a targeted temperature of 36°C.
Guidelines for the Management of Heart Failure

Some new guidelines to be aware of are the AHA Guidelines for the Management of Heart Failure. Full text is available free and while comprehensively covering chronic heart failure there is an interesting section on acute decompensated heart failure.
Evidence-based medicine enthusiasts might be interested in recommendations to consider dopamine, nesiritide, and ultrafiltration. These therapies also get a mention in the 2012 European Guidelines. I recommend you review the articles cited in the guidelines to make your own mind up.
Here are a couple of snippets you may find useful:
Snippet from American Guidelines: intravenous loop diuretic doses
"HF patients receiving loop diuretic therapy should receive an initial parenteral dose greater than or equal to their chronic oral daily dose; then dose should be serially adjusted."

Regional Systems of STEMI Care, Reperfusion Therapy, and Time-to-Treatment Goals
Class I
1. All communities should create and maintain a regional system of STEMI care that includes assessment and continuous quality improvement of emergency medical services and hospital-based activities. Performance can be facilitated by participating in programs such as Mission: Lifeline and the Door-to-Balloon Alliance.(Level of Evidence: B)
2. Performance of a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) by emergency medical services personnel at the site of first medical contact (FMC) is recommended in patients with symptoms consistent with STEMI.(Level of Evidence: B)
3. Reperfusion therapy should be administered to all eligible patients with STEMI with symptom onset within the prior 12 hours. (Level of Evidence: A)
4. Primary PCI is the recommended method of reper- fusion when it can be performed in a timely fashion by experienced operators. (Level of Evidence: A)
5. Emergency medical services transport directly to a PCI-capable hospital for primary PCI is the recommended triage strategy for patients with STEMI, with an ideal FMC-to-device time system goal of 90 minutes or less.(Level of Evidence: B)
6. Immediate transfer to a PCI-capable hospital for primary PCI is the recommended triage strategy for patients with STEMI who initially arrive at or are transported to a non–PCI-capable hospital, with an FMC-to-device time system goal of 120 minutes or less.(Level of Evidence: B)
7. In the absence of contraindications, fibrinolytic therapy should be administered to patients with STEMI at non–PCI-capable hospitals when the anticipated FMC-to-device time at a PCI-capable hospital exceeds 120 minutes because of unavoidable delays.(Level of Evidence: B)
8. When fibrinolytic therapy is indicated or chosen as the primary reperfusion strategy, it should be administered within 30 minutes of hospital arrival.(Level of Evidence: B)
Class IIa
1. Reperfusion therapy is reasonable for patients with STEMI and symptom onset within the prior 12 to 24 hours who have clinical and/or ECG evidence of ongoing ischemia. Primary PCI is the preferred strategy in this population. (Level of Evidence: B)

A whole bunch of trauma guidelines

Comments Off
The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma has published a number of helpful evidence-based guidelines for trauma management, and many of them are included in this month's Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery
Here are brief snippets from some of them. All the guidelines can be viewed or downloaded in full for free here.
Nonoperative management of blunt hepatic injury
- Nonoperative management of blunt hepatic injuries currently is the treatment modality of choice in hemodynamically stable patients, irrespective of the grade of injury or patient age.
- Patients presenting with hemodynamic instability and peritonitis still warrant emergent operative intervention.
- Intravenous contrast enhanced computed tomographic scan is the diagnostic modality of choice for evaluating blunt hepatic injuries.
Selective nonoperative management of blunt splenic injury
- Nonoperative management of blunt splenic injuries is now the treatment modality of choice in hemodynamically stable patients, irrespective of the grade of injury, patient age, or the presence of associated injuries.
- Patients presenting with hemodynamic instability and peritonitis still warrant emergent operative intervention.
- Intravenous contrast enhanced computed tomographic scan is the diagnostic modality of choice for evaluating blunt splenic injuries.
Screening for blunt cardiac injury
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) alone is not sufficient to rule out BCI.
- BCI can be ruled out only if both ECG result and troponin I level are normal, a significant change from the previous guideline.
- Patients with new ECG changes and/or elevated troponin I should be admitted for monitoring.
- Echocardiogram is not beneficial as a screening tool for BCI and should be reserved for patients with hypotension and/or arrhythmias.
- The presence of a sternal fracture alone does not predict BCI.
- Cardiac computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging can be used to differentiate acute myocardial infarction from BCI in trauma patients.
Evaluation and management of penetrating lower extremity arterial trauma
- Expedited triage of patients is possible with physical examination and/or the measurement of ankle-brachial indices.
- Computed tomographic angiography has become the diagnostic study of choice when imaging is required.
- Tourniquets and intravascular shunts have emerged as adjuncts in the treatment of penetrating lower extremity arterial trauma.
Prophylactic antibiotic use in penetrating abdominal trauma
- There is evidence to support a Level I recommendation that prophylactic antibiotics should only be administered for 24 hours in the presence of a hollow viscus injury.
- There are no data to support continuing prophylactic antibiotics longer than 24 hours in damage control laparotomy.
Screening for thoracolumbar spinal injuries in blunt trauma
- Multidetector computed tomographic scans have become the screening modality of choice and the criterion standard in screening for TLS injuries.
- Patients without altered mentation or significant mechanism may be excluded by clinical examination without imaging.
- Patients with gross neurologic deficits or concerning clinical examination findings with negative imaging should receive a magnetic resonance imaging expediently, and the spine service should be consulted
Emergency tracheal intubation immediately following traumatic injury
- The decision to intubate a patient following traumatic injury is based on multiple factors, including the need for oxygenation and ventilation, the extent and mechanism of injury, predicted operative need, or progression of disease.
- Rapid sequence intubation with direct laryngoscopy continues to be the recommended method for ETI, although the use of airway adjuncts such as blind insertion supraglottic devices and video laryngoscopy may be useful in facilitating successful ETI and may be preferred in certain patient populations.
- There is no pharmacologic induction agent of choice for ETI; however, succinylcholine is the neuromuscular blockade agent recommended for rapid sequence intubation.
Presumptive antibiotic use in tube thoracostomy for traumatic hemopneumothorax
- Routine presumptive antibiotic use to reduce the incidence of empyema and pneumonia in TT for traumatic hemopneumothorax is controversial; however, there is insufficient published evidence to support any recommendation either for or against this practice.
Evaluation and management of geriatric trauma
- Effective evidence-based care of aging patients necessitates aggressive triage, correction of coagulopathy, and limitation of care when clinical evidence points toward an overwhelming likelihood of poor long-term prognosis
Management of pulmonary contusion and flail chest
- Patients with PC-FC should not be excessively fluid restricted but should be resuscitated to maintain signs of adequate tissue perfusion.
- Obligatory mechanical ventilation in the absence of respiratory failure should be avoided.
- The use of optimal analgesia and aggressive chest physiotherapy should be applied to minimize the likelihood of respiratory failure.
- Epidural catheter is the preferred mode of analgesia delivery in severe flail chest injury.
- Paravertebral analgesia may be equivalent to epidural analgesia and may be appropriate in certain situations when epidural is contraindicated.
- A trial of mask continuous positive airway pressure should be considered in alert patients with marginal respiratory status.
- Patients requiring mechanical ventilation should be supported in a manner based on institutional and physician preference and separated from the ventilator at the earliest possible time.
- Positive end-expiratory pressure or continuous positive airway pressure should be provided.
- High-frequency oscillatory ventilation should be considered for patients failing conventional ventilatory modes. Independent lung ventilation may also be considered in severe unilateral pulmonary contusion when shunt cannot be otherwise corrected.
- Surgical fixation of flail chest may be considered in cases of severe flail chest failing to wean from the ventilator or when thoracotomy is required for other reasons.
- Self-activating multidisciplinary protocols for the treatment of chest wall injuries may improve outcome and should be considered where feasible.
- Steroids should not be used in the therapy of pulmonary contusion.
- Diuretics may be used in the setting of hydrostatic fluid overload in hemodynamically stable patients or in the setting of known concurrent congestive heart failure.
Evaluation and management of small-bowel obstruction
- Level I evidence now exists to recommend the use of computed tomographic scan, especially multidetector computed tomography with multiplanar reconstructions, in the evaluation of patients with SBO because it can provide incremental clinically relevant information over plains films that may lead to changes in management.
- Patients with evidence of generalized peritonitis, other evidence of clinical deterioration, such as fever, leukocytosis, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, and continuous pain, or patients with evidence of ischemia on imaging should undergo timely exploration.
- The remainder of patients can safely undergo initial nonoperative management for both partial and complete SBO.
- Water-soluble contrast studies should be considered in patients who do not clinically resolve after 48 to 72 hours for both diagnostic and potential therapeutic purposes.
- Laparoscopic treatment of SBO has been demonstrated to be a viable alternative to laparotomy in selected cases.

This is a childhood favorite that conjures up memories of growing up as a gringa in South Florida and sitting in the open air Cuban Cafes and indulging on these sweet pastries! These pastries are wonderful with a café con leche!! They were a special treat that we were allowed to have on occasion for breakfast. It is actually one of the few things I actually miss about South Florida! The recipe is from Felipe Valls.

Close to Nowhere
Quick trip
Saturday I finally met my niece Sister's new, 5-year-old granddaughter, new daughter-in-law and a bouncy lump that will soon be a brand-new granddaughter.
Blake is Sister's oldest son and he and Sarah live in a wonderful house on a lake with a deck overlooking the lake – in Nashville, Tenn.!
I've always enjoyed trips to Nashville -- good restaurants, the Parthenon, a couple of great fabric stores, etc., etc.
Saturday was a flying trip -- straight to Blake and Sarah's house, couple hours to visit and straight home again. Didn't even get to go to the Aquarium, one of my very favorite restaurants in Nashville. (While the food there is good, the attraction for me is the scenery -- walls and walls of fish aquariums with every kind of aquatic creature imaginable swimming by while you eat -- gulp -- fish.)
All that was worth missing. Shaelin, the 5-year-old, is an enchanting, beautiful little girl. Long blonde hair, big eyes, and, most importantly to me, red sparkly shoes!
Shaelin and MeMe (Sister) have hit it off wonderfully well. Didn't take long for the bright child to figure out that this was an adult who would play on the 5-year-old level. Most grandmothers are like that!
Shaeline and MeMe ate their lunch on the patio in a 5-year-old sized pink princess tent. Blake, Sarah and I ate in the dining room, with windows all around to enjoy the view of the lake.
I have no idea which lake they live on. It's not too big, just about the right size for a neighborhood. I used my "Navigator" to get there and Sister had to get me out! And people think getting to my house is hard! Whew!
Sister had been there visiting with them for several days, and I was picking her up to bring home. I drove up by myself, bringing along Hello Kitty fabric for a quilt for Shaelin and a Sunbonnet Sue book of patterns to make a quilt for Evangeline (Evy) the soon-to-be-here new granddaughter.
Shaelin loves Hello Kitty and so do I! Blake and Sarah both loved the Sunbonnet Sue patterns, so I am a happy quilter! I have wondered if Sarah thinks Evy's quilt will be ready by the time she gets here. Sarah doesn't know me well, or know anyone that quilts. She might not understand that many, many quilts are given "while under construction," and quickly snatched back to be taken home and theoretically finished.
The big excitement on this trip to Nashville was sitting in the dining room, gorgeous view all around, and mine and Sister's hands pressing on Sarah's bouncing belly -- Evy was saying "Hello!"

Schizophrenia Health Center
Mental Health and Shared Psychotic Disorder
What Is a Psychotic Disorder?
A psychotic disorder is a mental illness that causes abnormal and irrational thinking and perceptions. Psychotic illnesses alter a person's ability to think clearly, make good judgments, respond emotionally, communicate effectively, understand reality, and behave appropriately. People with psychotic disorders have difficulty staying in touch with reality and often are unable to meet the ordinary demands of daily life.
The most obvious symptoms of a psychotic disorder are hallucinations and delusions. Hallucinations are sensory perceptions of things that aren't actually present, such as hearing voices, seeing things that aren't there, or feeling sensations on the skin even though nothing is touching the body. Delusions are false beliefs that the person refuses to give up, even in the face of contradictory facts. Schizophrenia is an example of a psychotic disorder.

Schizophrenia and Relationships
Penny Frese, PhD, was studying fine arts at Ohio University when she met her future husband. They saw each other for several months, and she noticed he avoided talking about anything personal. "We took a walk in a park, and it was toward the end of summer -- a gorgeous, beautiful day. I confronted him about not being totally honest … and he said he had had a 'schizophrenic break.'" For some couples, that might have been the end. Frese went to the library and read up on schizophrenia. She learned...

What Is Shared Psychotic Disorder?
Shared psychotic disorder, also known as folie a deux ("the folly of two"), is a rare condition in which an otherwise healthy person (secondary case) shares the delusions of a person with a psychotic disorder (primary case), such as schizophrenia. An example: A person with a psychotic disorder believes aliens are spying on him or her. The person with shared psychotic disorder will also begin to believe in spying aliens. The delusions are induced in the secondary case and usually disappear when the people are separated. Aside from the delusions, the thoughts and behavior of the secondary case usually are fairly normal.
Shared psychotic disorder usually occurs only in long-term relationships in which one person is dominant and the other is passive. In most cases, the person in whom the delusions are induced is dependent on or submissive to the person with the psychotic disorder. The people involved often are reclusive or otherwise isolated from society and have close emotional links with each other. The disorder also can occur in groups of individuals who are closely involved with a person who has a psychotic disorder.
What Are the Symptoms of Shared Psychotic Disorder?
The person with shared psychotic disorder has delusions that are similar to those of someone close who has a psychotic disorder.
What Causes Shared Psychotic Disorder?
The cause of shared psychotic disorder is not known; however, stress and social isolation are believed to play a role in its development.
How Common Is Shared Psychotic Disorder?
The number of cases is unknown, but shared psychotic disorder is rarely seen in clinical settings, such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, or doctors' offices. In many cases, only one of the affected individuals seeks treatment, making a diagnosis of shared psychotic disorder difficult. As a result, many cases might go undetected.
How Is Shared Psychotic Disorder Diagnosed?
If symptoms of shared psychotic disorder are present, the doctor will perform a complete medical history and physical exam. Although there are no laboratory tests to specifically diagnose shared psychotic disorder, the doctor might use various diagnostic tests, such as brain imaging (e.g., MRI scans)and blood tests, to rule out physical illness or a drug reaction as the cause of the delusions.
If the doctor finds no physical reason for the shared psychotic disorder symptoms, he or she might refer the person to a psychiatrist or psychologist, health care professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Psychiatrists and psychologists use specially designed interview and assessment tools to evaluate a person for a psychotic disorder. The doctor or therapist bases his or her diagnosis on the person's report of symptoms and his or her observation of the person's attitude and behavior. A diagnosis is made if a person develops a delusion as the result of a close association with another person who has an already-established delusion.

Chattanooga police are investigating a shooting in Ridgedale that left a 20-year-old man wounded early Thursday morning.
Keenen Cooley, who was wounded in one of his elbows, did not cooperate with investigators. He told police he was walking in the area of East 12th Street just after 3:30 a.m. when he heard four gunshots.
One of the rounds struck Cooley and someone in a personal vehicle took him to a local hospital for treatment.
Police initially responded to 2115 E. 12th St. but Cooley already had left for the hospital.
Anyone with information is asked to call Chattanooga police at 423-698-2525 or Crime Stoppers at 423-698-3333.

Arecent memo to the CIO Council from members of its Federal Identity and Credentialing Committee recommends that federal agencies use smart cards for employee identification. Such an approach is long overdue.
As the Defense Department's Common Access Card program has demonstrated, smart cards are a good investment.
DOD's program relies on a multifunction smart card that provides physical access to buildings, allows users to access computer networks and can serve as the authentication token for DOD's computerized public-key infrastructure. In most cases, the program has reduced the number of ID cards employees and service members need to do their jobs.
By adopting a governmentwide smart card, civilian agencies could learn from DOD's approach and simplify the process for controlling access to government systems and facilities.
Scores of agencies have taken steps toward a common card. In November 2002, the General Accounting Office identified 62 smart card initiatives under way at 18 agencies, with different security clearance processes and access controls. A governmentwide policy would streamline those programs.
GAO officials have long advocated creating a governmentwide credentialing policy to standardize how employees are cleared. No doubt, such a policy should ensure that there is a common set of guidelines for the cards, the credentials and their distribution.
But regardless of who leads this program, the first task should be visiting with DOD's access card program managers. Ample lessons can be learned from their experiences.
They faced many of the cultural hurdles that civilian agencies are likely to encounter. They have also greatly improved the processes for distributing cards and educating users. Those lessons will be invaluable if the governmentwide policy moves forward.
There is also the larger question of cost. Many costs are associated with access cards, not the least of which is the card itself. In addition, there is the hardware, software and middleware needed to make the cards fully usable.
The DOD card has given the agency a common framework.
A top-down approach to a governmentwide card should give all the other agencies those same benefits.

Use smart playlists for better podcast grouping on iPods
Note that this only really applies to iPods that didn't gain the dedicated "Podcast" menu in the latest software update. (i.e. <= 3G)
Use smart playlists for better podcast grouping on iPods
Absolutely right - when I submitted the hint, the iPod update hadn't yet come out. Now, the Podcast list (with an option to insert it in the front menu!) makes iPod experience just as good as that on iTunes. It should be a useful tip for Classic users though!
Use smart playlists for better podcast grouping on iPods
I use a smartplaylist with "Genre = Podcast & Playcount = 0". I find it works better than using the main Podcast playlist. (iPod 3G)

Head Coach Ben Olsen and ten players visited the Nation's Medical Center
On Monday, October 15, Head Coach Ben Olsen, Mike Chabala, Maicon Santos, Bill Hamid, Daniel Woolard, Stephen King, Josh Wolff, Brandon McDonald, Chris Pontius, Robbie Russell and Joe Willis visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. The group toured the facility and met with wounded warriors.
The players shared their experience via Twitter:
United Reads, presented by TD Bank, returns for Fall 2012
D.C. United and its charitable arm, United for D.C., announced today the schedule for United Reads during the Fall of 2012. United Reads is a signature program created to encourage elementary school students in the greater Metropolitan area to fall in love with reading and to promote the importance of healthy lifestyles. United Reads is currently in its 10th year thanks to the generous support of presenting partner T.D. Bank and program sponsors Volkswagen and Gallup Government.
Team unites for DC
D.C. United's mission is to "win championships, and serve the community." To help win championships, the coaches and staff look for talented players. To help serve, the club has both an active Community Relations department but it also started a charitable arm called United for D.C. And, when players and our community efforts come together, D.C. United is at its best.
Players share their love of reading with online students
After training today, Dwayne De Rosario and Perry Kitchen took a moment to participate in an online education event with K12.com. DeRo read "Froggy Plays Soccer" while Perry read "Splat!: The Colorful Cat" to some local students while the session was recorded for online use. Below are photos from the event.
United Drives to collect toiletries & personal hygiene items
Throughout the 2012 Major League Soccer season, D.C. United collects items at select home games to benefit pre-determined non-profit organizations within the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. During the month of October, United for D.C. – D.C. United's charitable arm – will collect toiletries and personal hygiene items that will benefit Thrive DC, a dining program for homeless women in the area. As a D.C.

For the first time since the announcement of a partnership between Jason Levien, Erick Thohir and Will Chang as owners of D.C. United, the three were in town over the weekend for a whirlwind tour surrounding United's 1-0 victory over Chivas USA Sunday night. Among the agenda items during the visit was an opportunity to become actively involved in the community programming for which D.C. United is synonymous.
D.C. United's ownership group, players, and staff served lunch at SOME (So Others Might Eat) today. The club's mission is to "Win championships and serve the community."

... More sites simply need to start using HTTP Basic
Access Authentication. ...
The beauty of this method of authentication is that the username and
password are not just sent once, but are actually sent with *every* single
request ...
Using HTTP Basic Authentication in this way is a disservice to a
customer because it, in practice, forces him to leave a valuable
static password in the process memory of his web browser. The password
may be revealed to unauthorized persons in a number of circumstances:
-- the web browser may be running on Unix and die (e.g., due to a
segmentation fault) leading to a core file. It is likely that the
character sequence corresponding to the static password will
occur somewhere in the core file. The core file may be written
to a local disk and might have permissions allowing it to be read
by other local users. Alternatively, the core file may be written
over an unencrypted distributed filesystem (e.g., NFS) and its
contents may thus be readable by network sniffers.
-- the client machine might be compromised some time after the
password is typed, and the intruder can then retrieve the password
from the web-browser process memory by using pcat or gcore. The
intruder may also find the password in the machine's swap space.
In some cases (e.g., when the intrusion is detected promptly)
this threat is much more significant than the threat that the
intruder will retain access until the next time the password is
typed (and thereby be able to steal the password as it is typed).
If the web-browser process memory instead contains a credential that's
applicable only to the current session, and does not contain a static
password, then the risks associated with process-memory compromise are
typically much smaller. For example, this transitory credential might
automatically become recognized as invalid by the server if it is not
presented for a long time, the server might conceivably consider the
credential valid only if it is presented in a TCP connection from a
particular IP address, etc. Also, an intruder who has captured a
static password can try using that password to log into other
accounts, and this is likely to be effective since many users neglect
to choose different passwords for each of their web-site and
machine-login accounts. Sending a captured transitory credential to
another unrelated web site is just about guaranteed to be useless.
It is of course true that some passwords that are typed into a web
browser in order to obtain a transitory credential will linger in
process memory for a long time. However, there is no strong need for
that to happen: the web browser could, for example, overwrite all
buffers used for form input with zeros at some appropriate time. With
Basic Authentication, however, the web browser needs to maintain
either the plaintext password or its (just as valuable) base64
representation in process memory for a long time, since otherwise the
web browser can't resend the required authentication data.
I reported a related problem to Netscape on 3 August 2000, but did not
receive a reply (admittedly, their problem-report mechanism
http://help.netscape.com/forms/bug-security.html required me to
explicitly agree that I wouldn't receive a reply). The reported
problem (which still exists in at least Netscape Communicator 4.75 on
Red Hat Linux 6.2 i386) was that a password typed for Basic
Authentication to an https site remains in process memory even if the
user aborts the login attempt at the authorization-retry window. If
anyone wants a copy of the full report that I sent to Netscape about
that, please send me e-mail and I'll make it available.

Yet the ProjeKct experiments weren't ever about a given style but more to do with evolving beyond a creative impasse. The catalysing force this time is guitarist / vocalist, Jakko Jakszyk (the only non-Crimson member present here), whose extrapolations of the initial improvised guitar duets with Fripp into ornate full-scale songs is a stunning achievement.
Whilst Fripp is hailed for his acerbic, angular playing whether with King Crimson or via his 'wild card' appearances with Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Brian Eno et al, there's always been a yearning streak in his work which he gives full rein throughout. His clean, sparse lines carve a heartbreaking melodicism and aching melancholy on the title track and undulating waves of The Price We Pay. As ever, Fripp's incisive fretwork is devastatingly passionate.
Mel Collins, playing with Fripp for the first time since 1974's Red, was always every bit the equal of the feted guitarist. Here he focusses on concise but telling sax commentaries rather than any obvious soloing. Across the rumbling grooves of Secrets, he turns in mocking soliloquies and some spectacular soaring choruses that nag and push at the prowling gravity of bassist Tony Levin and drummer, Gavin Harrison.
The sombre mood hanging over the album is matched by a terse sense of restraint which only breaks cover for the explosive paranoia of The Other Man and the discursive atonalities of The Light Of Day which closes the album. An especially bleak Fripp/Jakszyk improvisation is disconsolately adorned by multi-tracked voices and gouging scrawls of acidic sax. It's dark and powerful stuff.
A Scarcity Of Miracles is a branching of the Crimson family tree with the co-option of an external contributor is as unprecedented as it is unexpected. Whether it continues to grow further is anyone's guess. On the basis of what's here, let's hope it does.

A man caught stuffing a headless swan corpse into his rucksack has said he did not know what bird it was.
Hasan Fidan, 46, was fined after an angler snapped him packing the creature into a bag at a beauty spot in Hildenborough.
Bob Morris, who runs a rod company at the Swan Business Park in Sandpit Road, Dartford, watched in horror as Fidan killed the bird.
The incident happened on March 18 at at the scenic 18-acre Bennett's Lake and police later found remnants of the bird in Fidan's freezer.
However the Evening Standard has spoken to Fidan who has revealed he likes the Queen "very much".
Yesterday (June 2) Fidan told the newspaper: "I did not know what type of bird it was.
"For me it was any type of bird. I didn't know the Queen owned them.
"I like the Queen very much.
"The moment the police told me what I did was wrong, I said I was sorry."
He was arrested after Mr Morris saw the incident unfold whilst he was fishing.
The 64-year-old said: "He grabbed the swan and sat down on it and then took out a knife and cut its head off.
"I was stunned - I couldn't believe what I was seeing."
Mr Morris, who is a volunteer bailiff, took a photo as Fidan stuffed the swan's body into his rucksack.
Thanks to the snap, police soon discovered the swan killer's identity and tracked him down to his home in Tonbridge 10 days after the incident.
Police confirmed the photo taken by Mr Morris was used to identify the swan-killer when he was spotted at another lake on March 28.
Mr Morris - whose book Carping Aside was published last year - said police had discovered the swan cut up into portions in a freezer at Fidan's home.
At Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court on May 27, Fidan was handed a £110 fine, with £85 in court costs and a £20 victim surcharge - a total of £215 - after pleading guilty to killing a wild bird.

SAN FRANCISCO/SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp said on Monday it would support Oracle Corp software on its cloud-based platforms, a tie-up aimed at improving the rivals' chances against nimbler Web-based
Nearly three dozen computer scientists have signed off on a court brief opposing Oracle's effort to copyright its Java APIs, a move they say would hold back the computer industry and deny affordable technology to end users.
Reposted from http://bit.ly/XDyfuv on February 11, 2013 at 12:39PM
In July 2012, Jonathan Dharmaraj and his girlfriend of almost a year broke up. After spending every second together — working in the same hospital and living two minutes from each other — they both went off to different…
If this actually works I believe you have met somebody special.
A federal judge in San Francisco has handed Oracle another setback in its case against Google. Oracle Corp. had accused Google Inc. of stealing Oracle's Java programming language to build Google's Android software for mobile devices.
See below for similar articles.
It's amazing how much the jury actually got. The entire time we were worried that these people were sitting there befuddled by jargon, but they actually did an excellent job interpreting the legal reasons behind the laws they were debating and applying them to the case. That they ultimately made the decision based on what's good for the public really blows my mind, you'll never find that reasoning in a Texas jury. It's annoying that the judge's instructions for them to think of API's as copyrightable made them feel like their deciding power was limited. This part of the case I feel was the most mishandled and definitely worthy of Google's call for a mistrial. Still, can't be upset to see a group of Americans come together and make a thoughtful, rational decision after amicable debating.
How the jury decided that android infringed on copyright but not patents is beyond me. While I can't say I disagree with the outcome, this entire trial was incredibly strange. Of course we still have to see what the judge decides about whether API's are covered by copyright or not but I don't see there being any chance of Oracle coming away from this happy.
"Given this, says Ronald Abramson, a ruling on the Java APIs could be relevant to almost any other common way of sending data. 'These are a pretty typical APIs. They're a definition of how you talk to something,' he says. 'This would be a strong precedent and it would be pretty difficult to distinguish them from other APIs…I would be concerned that [the ruling] would have broad ramifications for other APIs and beyond APIs. If you can copyright the structure, sequence, and organization of data, that changes the landscape.'"
It's ridiculous this is even up for debate. Copyrights are explicitly meant for creative works, patents are meant for processes. Even if this wasn't the case, saying you could copyright an API in Java is like saying you can copyright the instruments on a recording.

The staff was extremely nice and cooperative. A girl at the front desk was very nice in booking my cab ride to LaGuardia. They were also good about holding my bags from my 11am checkout until my 7:45pm cab to the airport. The hotel is old. The room was in the best possible shape, given the age of the hotel. The free parking for the rental car I had for two nights was very convenient.

ComfortablePosted Aug 1, 2014
Pros: The staff are super friendly and often went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Excellent price for a New York Hotel.
Location: Location is outside of New York in a borough but is within 10 minutes walking distance to the Railway that takes you easily to Penn Station NY.
The hotel rooms are comfortable and the bed and pillows rare excellent allowing for the "Best Sleep Ever at a Hotel". There were some electrical / computer glitches at the Hotel but the staff were super friendly and very professional and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel is located outside of NY in a neighbourhood that we felt was very quiet and very safe. If you don't mind walking 10 minutes to the Railway and riding a few stops to Penn Station - this is an excellent Hotel option as the price is fantastic and the stay is comfortable with friendly staff (especially the Manager). In my next visit to New York - I plan in staying in this hotel again.

What a messPosted Jul 31, 2014
Pros: Clean. Right location for what I needed.
Staff were nice. Free breakfast was decent. BUT the parking lot was closed and we had to park at a nearby hotel and walk back, and the ONLY ELEVATOR was out of order our entire stay. Completely unacceptable.

very impressedPosted Jul 15, 2014
Pros: Everything.
Cons: dunno, for the price this place rates a 5 star for us.
Location: Very close to the highway, but without the noise. If you love Asian food then this is the right place.
For a non franchised hotel we were impressed by the reviews, so we chose this hotel. We decided if ever in this area again we would choose the same. Breakfast was more than expected, clean, tasteful.

In fact, he and the tiny King Brian, ruler of the little people, are friendly adversaries, continually out-foxing each other. Darby needs a bit of magical help from the wily king when Lord Fitzpatrick replaces him as caretaker with the handsome, strapping young Michael from Dublin. Michael falls in love with Darby's beautiful daughter, Katie, which is all right with Darby; but the lad has a rival in a local ruffian, the son of a devious widow who wants her boy to be the caretaker.
