Ana's run at the Mutua Madrid Open was brought to an end following a 6-2, 6-2 defeat against world No.5 Simona Halep. Despite a brilliant start from the 26-year-old, she was unable to reproduce her fine form of the past few weeks and she crashed out in exactly one hour of play.
Nonetheless, Ana started the match brilliantly. She showed great aggression, confidently hit a handful of winners and she broke the Romanian at the first time of asking.
But all of those good signs suddenly fell apart as a sloppy third game, including two consecutive double faults and two unforced errors, was the prelude of a very flat and disjointed performance from the 11th seed. From 2-0 up, she lost seven straight games, and with them the first set. She was instantly broken in the opening game of the second act.
Ana piled up the unforced errors and was unable to cope with the depth of strokes from the world No 5. She managed to break back once, but was broken herself on two more occasions as she saw the match completely slipping away.
Ana will now head to Rome for the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, which begins on Monday.

CLEVELAND -- There's been lots of attention to movies about superheroes being shot here lately.
But a movie focussing on real-life heroes, all kinds of men striving to be good Dads,was shot here.
It has its world premiere Thursday night at Tower City Cinema and multiple showings Father's Day weekend.
Director Marquette Williams, formerly of Twinsburg, spoke to 150 dads of all varieties in making the documentary.
He's trying to overcome media images of Dads as either inept bumblers or strong silent types and portray their real emotions about the most important job they'll ever have -- trying to raise healthy balanced children.
"I'm actually trying to attack the image of fatherhood that has been twisted and morphed into Al Bundy...We are also viewed as lumps on a log that don't emotionally care," he said.
Proud father of two John Carter appears in the movie and will see it with his family.
"I'm so looking forward to them seeing the way I feel about them. I know I tell them I love them and hug them and I support them...I was one of the criers," he said.
Cleveland Heights Dad Zakee Ali also appears in the film and says it was therapeutic to talk about being a father.
"I never felt like I got it figured out....Your insecurities, your fears...I don't know anyone prepared to be a dad," he said.
Former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones is a co-executive producer of the film.
He was committed to father-helping programs with the county. Some are portrayed in the film.
"It's to give a pat on the back to those fathers already doing a good job...on the other hand, to be a stimulus to those dads who could do better," he said.
"Instead of getting a tie, take your Dad to see "Fatherhood 101,"" he suggested.
The film debuts here, but will be shown in other Ohio cities and cities elsewhere, including Detroit and Houston.
If there's a large enough audience, it could be distributed nationally. It may evolve into a TV show and other websites.
The film was financed by the St. Luke's Foundation and other private donors.

Rainforest Aerial Tram in St. Lucia Featured at Christopher Elliot's Blog
Christopher Elliot is a consumer advocate and journalist. And recently, he had featured our Rainforest Aerial Tram in St. Lucia in one of his blog post, St. Lucia from Above. Here's the content of the post:
Today's adventure took us deep into the St. Lucian rainforest, where we caught a ride up the Rainforest Aerial Tram.
"Where are the skis?" asked my five-year-old son, Iden, who talks about the Vail trip as if it happened yesterday.
Alas, no skis. And no snow.
But it was an unbelievably beautiful ride into the clouds, through dense forests of fern, hardwood trees and ficus. Hummingbirds buzzed our gondola as we neared the top of the mountain, and then we turned and saw the most awe-inspiring view of the island; the Caribbean on one side, the Atlantic on the other.
I'll have more pictures when I post the full story on National Geographic Traveler's Intelligent Travel blog next week.
If you go to St. Lucia, you should try to make it out here to the tramway. If we had the time and if the kids were older, we would have hiked up the mountain or tried the zipline. Maybe next time.
Several readers have asked to see more St. Lucia photos. I'm happy to oblige. I've posted more on my Flickr page. I also wanted to share one more photo from Windjammer Landing.
Remember yesterday's snapshot from the pool? I took it from the top row of villas on that hill. Pretty resort, isn't it?

Sights & Attractions in Miami
Miami Sights
If you'd arrived here 50 years ago with a guidebook in hand, chances are you'd be thumbing through listings looking for alligator wrestlers and you-pick strawberry fields or citrus groves. Things have changed. While Disney sidetracked families in Orlando, Miami was developing a unique culture and attitude that's equal parts beach town/big business, Latino/Caribbean meets European/American—all
of which fuels a great art and food scene, as well as exuberant nightlife and myriad festivals.
To find your way around Greater Miami, learn how the numbering system works (or better yet, use a GPS). Miami is laid out on a grid with four quadrants—northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest—that meet at Miami Avenue and Flagler Street. Miami Avenue separates east from west, and Flagler Street separates north from south. Avenues and courts run north–south; streets, terraces, and ways run east–west. Roads run diagonally, northwest–southeast. But other districts—Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Hialeah—may or may not follow this system, and along the curve of Biscayne Bay the symmetrical grid shifts diagonally. It's best to buy a detailed map, stick to the major roads, and ask directions early and often. However, make sure you're in a safe neighborhood or public place when you seek guidance; cabdrivers and cops are good resources.

We're always looking for different ways to enjoy more time on our paddle boards. So far we have SUP Surfing, SUP Yoga and now we have SUP Golfing
One great thing about standup paddle boarding is how mostly everyone is able to do it. It's a great activity to reduce stress, and stay in shape, but can I paddle board while pregnant?
We recently got to sit down and talk to two paddle board racers, Isle ambassador and racer Ikaika Pidot and pro racer Slater Trout
Since 2004, Isle Surf & SUP based in San Diego,CA has been committed to offering the largest and best selection of Surfboards and Standup Paddle Boards anywhere on the web. Our direct sales model allows us to offer some of the lowest prices without compromising quality along with Free USA Shipping 24/7 on all boards.
With the growth of Paddle Boarding we have expanded our SUP line and offer shapes and sizes for riders of every level. We have stand up paddle shapes for the oceans, lakes and bays. Now you can surf anywhere there is water!
We also stock a massive selection of Surfboards. Everything from shortboards, fish, quad fins, fun shapes, mini-longboards, longboards, and big guy boards in all shapes and sizes to accommodate surfers of every level.
In addition, to compliment your new Surfboard or SUP we carry a full line of quality Surfboard & SUP Accessories to improve your surfing and stand up paddle experience. Leashes, Traction, Surfboard & SUP Car Racks, Surfboard & SUP Day Bags, Travel Bags, SUP Paddles and more.
Knowing the volume of your sup is important in that it relates to your weight and what amount of volume is required to support your weight.
The metric system tells us: 1 liter of volume will float 1kg of weight.
However the amount of volume needed is relative to weight & skills. Thus we multiply a Skill Level Factor x our Weight in kilograms to get a recommended Volume in liters.
Skill Level Factor for Beginner = 2.0
Skill Level Factor for Intermediate = 1.7
Skill Level Factor for advanced = 1.3
Use this simple formula to find your target volume
(your weight in lbs x .44) x Skill Level Factor = Target Volume (Liters)
Example: You are a beginner looking at boards and you weight 195lbs. What volume is right for you?
(195lbs x .44) x 2 = 175
Board Volume (Liters) = 175
If you are a beginner rider and you weigh 195lbs. Your board should have a volume of at least 175 Liters to support your weight.
Suggested Weight
We use the boards volume to compute how much weight each board can support for a given skill level.
These are general suggestions and other factors such a width and thickness determine how the board
will support your weight.
As an example:
The 9'6 Classic has 127 liters of volume.
The suggested weight chart shows:
As a beginner your weight should not exceed 141 lbs
As an intermediate rider your weight should not exceed 166 lbs
As an advanced rider your weight should not exceed 217 lbs

I've created a bunch of Feature.Vectors from Point objects and assigned them a Style. Now I want to dynamically change the appearance of one of the features in real time; e.g., change it from red to blue. (I am NOT hovering over the feature.) I've tried changing its Style, then doing refresh() on the layer, or redraw(), etc, and either nothing happens or the feature disappears. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Redraw method should solve your problem, see my little example: OpenLayers: modifying feature style

I agree with @drnextgis that redraw will do (+1 for nice sample). Though in your situation, since you want to just redraw a single feature, I would use

Gallery: Sit to Walkstation Desk Treadmill: Burn Calories While You Wor...
If your 9 to 5 requires you to be a desk jockey for most of the day, chances are you either need to hit the gym to work off that Subway sandwich you had for lunch – or worse yet, you don't work it off at all (Jared would not be proud). Enter the Sit to Walkstation. This desk/treadmill combo is the answer to every desk potato's prayers! It allows you to sit, stand or even walk on a treadmill as you work so that your body can look as stacked as that last set of blueprints you handed in to your boss.
Author's Note: I am standing as I write this article and will be attempting to work the whole day today on my feet. 10:34AM: My legs are about to give out, but I am going to try my best to power through.
The Sit to Walkstation is an integrated treadmill and desk with room to fit an office chair and all of the files, folders, accessories that you would at a normal desk. In order to switch from sitting mode to standing or walking, all you have to do is push a button. And while we can't say that the Sit to Walkstation is truly eco-friendly, it is definitely an example of design for health and it's got steel components (steel is often a recycled material and a very recyclable material).
So why stand or walk while working? Well, the answer may seem obvious – to burn calories and stay fit! – but if you aren't convinced, read this article from the New York Times about how much of a difference having a standing desk can make. If you don't do it for the weight-control benefits, do it for the positive effect it can have if you suffer from back pains associated with sitting in a chair for 8 hours.
At $4,599, not everyone will be able to afford the Walkstation. If you can, more power to you, but if you can't why not just ask your boss if you can work at a more elevated surface and stand instead? Or if you work at home and are really brave, you can try jerryrigging your own desk treadmill – but please exercise caution as you exercise!

[…] It's hard to believe that the vast majority of us spend most our waking hours chained to a desk, but while you may think you have it easy getting to sit in a chair over sweating out your breakfast at more physically intensive trades, think again. Recent studies have confirmed that too much sitting is actually bad for your health — increasing risks for obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. The human body depends on movement and exercise to keep muscles in top form and metabolism up, and unfortunately spending nine or more hours a day in a sedentary state causes both muscle degeneration and a slowed metabolism — two ailments that could eventually leading to life-threatening health problems. So what do you do if you have a job that requires a lot of computer face time? Stand-working! […]

[…] So whats the solution if your job requires you to spend a lot of time in front of a computer? Stand-working! I have personally been a devotee of working standing up for years, and I swear by it! Ever since I […]
September 8, 2010 at 2:27 am
feio – you clearly didn\'t read the linked NYTimes article. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that working out is not enough. That sitting for 5-8 hours a day COUNTERACTS the exercise you get by spending an hour or two at the gym.

Another excuse for laziness 'masked' as 'convenience'. Why spend more energy, resources and money to create a product that will probably become a white elephant for 80% of the people who bought it. The solutions are already out there like biking, walking or jogging to work. It's free and won't need even a fraction of the resources and energy like this lump of metal. People are just lazy and think this is more 'convenient'. Well the first step to having a fitter body is to STOP BEING LAZY!
Another thought is that if you really want to become healthier – work less! Life is too short and beautiful to be spent chained to your desk, and this is one more padlock.
But the IF it's rigged up to produce power for the building…then that's a different story. 😀

What makes these work and exercise so effective is that you don't even know your working out. But I have used a similar type (FitDesk.net) for 8 months and feel and look great. I am a believer in this product.

Hook this up to some sort of generator and your workers could power the office (:

I wanted a similar set-up, but already had the exercise gear – so I figured out a way to make a way to mount my laptop for around $20 and an hour of work – http://manmadediy.com/chris/posts/55-manmade-video-how-to-mount-your-laptop-to-your-exercise-equipment

ST. MARYS – The St. Marys Area Dutch soccer team avenged an early-season loss to Ridgway in a big way on Thursday afternoon, tallying up the most goals they have scored in a single contest all year en route to a 5-1 trouncing of the Elkers.
"I'm just real proud of the guys today," said St. Marys Area coach Russ Micale. "We came back and avenged a previous loss of the season."
"We talked about beating those teams that beat us previously, and this was one of them," he added.
After a sluggish start, Ridgway volleyball dispatched of Sheffield easily in the final two sets to complete a 3-0 (25-21, 25-9, 25-12) victory over the Lady Wolverines Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
The two teams were tied at 9-all in the first before Ridgway was able to create some distance with a 5-0 run. Sierra Kos had all five service points during this flurry while Katie Oknefski and Maria Buhler had kills.
"Maria Buhler did a good job," Ridgway coach Janet Redmond said. "She's one you can depend on."
Ridgway girls golf hosted an area match Tuesday afternoon at Laurel Mill Golf Course.
Ridgway was led by senior Logan Feronti as she shot a 59. Sam Carobine finished with a 73 and Shania Reitz carded a 74. Sarah Szczotka finished with a 78 as Ridgway finished with a team total of 285.
"Logan Feronti played her best round of the year with a 59 on her last home match as our only senior," Ridgway coach Gary Gerber II said. "She has continued to improve and work hard the entire season.  She will also compete at districts on Monday along with Sam Carobine."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Ramettes lost a close 5-4 decision Tuesday afternoon on the tennis courts against visiting St. Marys.
The Ramettes went down 3-2 in singles competition and couldn't make up the deficit in doubles action.
"Even though we lost I still think we're the better team," said Johnsonburg head varsity girls tennis coach Gregg Dauber. "We didn't make matchups in doubles, we played our best from top to bottom, and I thought those were the rules in District 9 tennis.
Ridgway boys soccer lost 3-1 to Port Allegany Tuesday afternoon at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School.
The Elkers played well with the Gators during the first 30-plus minutes, keeping the game scoreless while generating some chances of their own. Ridgway striker Peter Pontzer had a pair of chances in the first half including a blazing run through the middle of the field which led to a shot that went just over the top of the goal. Bryce Dias also had a good chance with 9:15 left but the shot was saved.
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader volleyball team raised their dual-match record to 7-0 on the season with a 3-0 victory over the Johnsonburg Ramettes last night at the ECCHS gym.
The Lady Crusaders won the first set by a 25-23 score. They took the second set 25-18 and won the third set by a 25-8 margin.
"We were slow to make adjustments but once we did we played well," said ECCHS coach Diane Gies.
"The last game tonight was the best we played both offensively and defensively. Now we have to keep working to get better," added Gies.
ST. MARYS – Elk County Catholic boys golf won the District 9 Class AA boys golf team championship on Monday at Bavarian Hills Golf Course as part of the first day of the District 9 boys golf championship.
ECC finished with a team total of 335. Elliott Struble is tied for the lead after the first day with a score of 75. Mitchell Struble also is a qualifier for the second round with a score of 82. The top 14 finishers and ties qualify for the final round on Saturday. The top eight finishers from Saturday advance to regionals at Tom's Run in Blairsville. The cut line ended up being 84.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch soccer team lost a tough 1-0 contest to the Ridgway Lady Elkers Monday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.
The lone goal of the game came at the 30:34 mark of the first half when Ridgway's Abbie Lampman scored from the left side, giving Ridgway the eventual only goal of the contest.
Ridgway dominated play in the first half as they kept the ball in the St. Marys half of the field. The Lady Elkers had seven shots on goal to St. Marys' one. They also had seven corner kicks in the first 40 minutes of play.
KANE – Being a high school athlete takes a tremendous amount of time, effort and determination.
Being a female athlete in a male-dominated sport takes even more of a commitment. There have been a few girls in the history of Kane athletics to wrestle or go out for football, but only Taylor Detrick has played the entire way from middle school through her senior year.
Taylor, the daughter of Jim and Chris Detrick, has been playing organized football since she was a Kane Tornado at nine years old.
Taylor said she never considered not playing, she simply loves football.
Ridgway boys soccer roared in the second half with four goals in a 5-2 victory over Curwensville Saturday at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School.
Tied at 1-all entering the second half, Ridgway wasted little time in taking the advantage on the scoreboard as Justin Kinkead ripped a shot into the upper left side just under two minutes into the half to give Ridgway a 2-1 lead.
Ridgway would score again in the 10th minute of the second half when Luke Bobby assisted Peter Pontzer on a goal which extended the Ridgway lead to 3-1.

Lessons learned from Eric Goldberg
One of the modern day greats of animation, Eric Goldberg is seen in this video discussing his feelings about what's missing in both CGI and hand drawn animation. There's much to learn by listening to what he has to say.
The location looks to me to be the Burbank Marriott, and judging from the date of the upload, I'm guessing this is at CTNX 2009, the first CTN eXpo.
Re: Lessons learned from Eric Goldberg
In this video, Eric discusses animating Jiminy Crickett at the opening of the 70th Anniversary screening of Pinnochio at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood in january, 2009.
With him is Don Hahn, a long time executive producer from the Disney Studio.
Eric explains posing the character, animating dialogue and how the exposure sheet works.
Re: Lessons learned from Eric Goldberg
A couple more videos of Eric Golberg at lasy year's (2009) CTNX in Burbank, hanging out at the Marriot, discussing how he approaches his animation.
Here he discusses how he charts his animation, favoring the importance of each drawing over how he spaces the drawings.
And here, he discusses pose to pose animation, and how it's beneficial even in CGI.

Founded in 2002 by designer David Lim, Kasil Workshop is a unique denim brand that is all about design and details. As the son of Richard Lim, owner of High Society Custom Tailoring in Los Angeles, a tailoring business known for its celebrity clientele, David Lim grew up in the tailoring industry learning about the different types of fabrics and the skills necessary to customize clothing. More interested in the arts and painting than tailoring and fashion, Lim attended the Academy of Arts in San Francisco and soon became an assistant costume designer and illustrator for the movie industry. But Lim quickly grew bored and after some experimental painting on scraps of denim he found in his fathers store, he wanted to learn more about the canvas and he crafted his first pair of jeans. Lim says, My original interest in denim wasnt really the pants. I was more interested in using it as a canvas that I could paint on. With the combination of Lims creativity and his background in tailoring, Kasil Workshop jeans are one-of-a-kind pieces with a truly amazing fit. With celebrity fans line Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Fergie, Lucy Liu, and Lindsey Lohan, Kasil Workshop is one of the top names in denim.

Falling in love can make you feel all soft and gooey inside. Unfortunately, it can have the same effect on your outside. Skip a workout here, order some greasy takeout there, and before you know it, you have more than just butterflies in your stomach—you've got a full-on jelly roll hanging over your waistband. Or as Lauren Conrad, former star of The Hills, put it: You've acquired the dreaded "boyfriend layer."
"When we get comfortable in a relationship, we establish new habits together that aren't always the best for our weight," says Amy Gorin, Ph.D., an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Connecticut. WH has identified five of the behaviors that can lead to a serious case of love chub. But don't worry—we've also included easy fixes.

En español | When making a large purchase, whether it's a computer or a car, you're likely to encounter an enthusiastic or aggressive sales clerk asking, "Do you want the extended warranty?" It's tempting to say yes, especially on a costly item.
But before doing so, consider what happened to AARP members Debra and Bill Kerr of Clio, Michigan, who recently wrote to On Your Side.
Back in 2009 the Kerrs purchased a Samsung flat-screen plasma television for about $1,800 from ABC Warehouse, an electronics and appliance chain. The couple paid the store some $500 for extended warranties that would cover the set until 2014.
Earlier this year they noticed a ghost image on their television screen. The repairman diagnosed it as "burn-in" — the result of watching one television channel for too long. (Fox and CNN news junkies, take note!)
Burn-in is a common problem for many TVs, and the Samsung warranty did have an exclusion for it. The store declined to replace the TV. But it seemed that the Kerrs were using their television in a normal way. If watching one channel for too long caused a problem, they should have been carefully warned about exactly what that meant.
Fortunately, when we shared our concerns with the honchos at ABC Warehouse, they reversed direction and agreed to honor the extended warranty. A few days later Debra and Bill had a new TV in their living room.
While we were happy to help out the Kerrs, no doubt many other AARP members are dealing with warranty concerns of their own. The best way to protect yourself is by carefully considering any plan you purchase.

We use these everyday at our office! We love that do not "ball up" after washing - like some of the other materials. Only negative thing I can say is that we have received a few that became undone (small area/whole) with just one washing. But we were able to sew it up and use many times more.
They fit very well.
Excellent! Now I wish I had bought the sheets to go with the face covers.
Great product fits and washes well
covers are exactly what I needed... except I wish they came in more variety of colors

If you plan a California vacation in Southern California, expect sunshine and warmer weather year-round -- especially across Los Angeles, San Diego and Palm Springs. Northern California is more varied – San Francisco temps average between the mid 50s and high 60s, while Wine Country can sink into the 40s (winter) and peak in the 80s (summer). And you probably won't see snow in California, unless you're in Lake Tahoe or on a movie set.
Snag lower rates in California from mid-September to mid-November, and then again during winter after Christmas. Summer is peak season across California, especially in San Francisco and Wine Country. Join the paparazzi and celebrities during award season in Los Angeles (mid-January to late February) or the non-stop neighborhood festivals in San Francisco throughout summer.
Fuego at the Hotel Maya – A Doubletree Hotel (Long Beach)
Enjoy waterfront dining with great views of the Long Beach skyline and the spectacular Queen Mary. And be sure to order sangria (red or white) and guacamole!
Grandview Park (San Francisco)
Climb to the top of this park in the Sunset District for stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco.
Beachcomber Café (Newport Coast)
Hike through Crystal Cove State Park to find this California gem. Enjoy blackened swordfish tacos and margaritas with views of the ocean, Newport Coastline and Catalina Island. And if you hear a bell, look closely – it means another patron spotted dolphins.
Comedy and Magic Club (Hermosa Beach)
See if Jay Leno can make you laugh at this tiny Hermosa Beach club -- nearly every Sunday night he tests his pre-show material. Buy tickets well in advance, the show sells out quickly.
Armstrong Redwoods State Forest (Guerneville)
Beyond popular Muir Woods, venture further north to see towering, ancient redwood groves. This intimate forest is home to the 310-foot Parsons Jones Tree, and the Colonel Armstrong Tree, estimated to be over 1,400 years old. Set up camp at the adjacent Austin Creek filled with rolling hills, oaks and open grasslands.

Do all triangles sound the same note in the same octave, or are there differences between models?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Music: Practice & Theory Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for musicians, students, and enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There are many differences, both in pitch and timbre. I've seen triangles used with a 10" side length down to 4", and you can purchase them made out of a variety of different materials and construction methods.
Some pieces even call for three different triangles of different pitch. So no, there's no defined standard pitch. A percussionist just chooses the triangle that he finds most appropriate for the style of the piece (which the conductor may override if he/she feels differently).
Not only that, but orchestral percussionists will carry around a set of triangle beaters of different sizes and weights to further fine-tune the tone of the triangle.

In order to truly experience the Italian atmosphere, taste the traditional Illy cappuccino at one of the local cafés. (Breakfast, Dinner)

Test ID: HBC
Hepatitis B Core Total Antibodies, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of recent or past hepatitis B infection
Determination of occult hepatitis B infection in otherwise healthy hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers with negative test results for hepatitis B surface antigen, antihepatitis B surface, antihepatitis B core IgM, hepatitis Be antigen, and anti-HBe.
This assay is not useful for differentiating among acute, chronic, and past/resolved hepatitis B infection.
This assay is FDA-approved for in vitro diagnostic use and not for screening cell, tissue, and blood donors.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBc Ab) appear shortly after the onset of symptoms of hepatitis B infection and soon after the appearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Initially, anti-HBc Ab consist almost entirely of the IgM class, followed by appearance of anti-HBc IgG, for which there is no commercial diagnostic assay.
The anti-HBc total antibodies test, which detects both IgM and IgG antibodies, and the test for anti-HBc IgM antibodies may be the only markers of a recent hepatitis B infection detectable in the "window period." The window period begins with the clearance of HBsAg and ends with the appearance of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs Ab). Anti-HBc total Ab may be the only serologic marker remaining years after exposure to hepatitis B.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Interpretation depends on clinical setting.
See Viral Hepatitis Serologic Profiles in Special Instructions.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result indicates acute, chronic, or past/resolved hepatitis B.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not offered as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
Positive antihepatitis B core (anti-HBc) total test results should be correlated with the presence of other hepatitis B virus serologic markers, elevated liver enzymes, clinical signs and symptoms, and a history of risk factors.
If clinically indicated, testing for HBIM / Hepatitis B Core Antibody, IgM, Serum is necessary to confirm an acute or recent infection.
Neonates (<1 month old) with positive anti-HBc total results from this assay should be tested for anti-HBc IgM (HBIM / Hepatitis B Core Antibody, IgM, Serum) to rule out possible maternal anti-HBc causing false-positive results. Repeat testing using this assay for anti-HBc total within 1 month is also recommended in these neonates.
Performance characteristics have not been established for the following specimen characteristics:
-Grossly icteric (total bilirubin level of >20 mg/dL)
-Grossly lipemic (triolein level of >3,000 mg/dL)
-Grossly hemolyzed (hemoglobin level of >500 mg/dL)
-Containing particulate matter
-Cadaveric specimens
-Heatinactivated specimens
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Some mothers need the cesarean-section room. (Fourty to fourty-five percent of babies at Bridgeport Hospital are born by cesarean, since many mothers are referred here for our high-risk pregnancy services.)
What Is a Cesarean Section?
A cesarean section, or C-section, as it is often called, is a surgical procedure. Anesthesia is provided (usually an epidural or spinal anesthesia — discuss your wishes with your anesthesiologist). Then a skin incision is made — usually across the lower part of the mother's abdomen — followed by a matching incision in the uterus. The bag of waters is broken, and the baby is lifted out of the womb. The umbilical cord connecting the baby to the placenta is clamped and cut. Then the placenta is removed and the incisions are stitched, or sutured. (The skin incision is usually closed with absorbable sutures, which do not need to be removed.)
The procedure usually takes about ten minutes from start to delivery, with another 30-40 minutes for suturing. Then you will go to the recovery room.
You can still breastfeed your baby after a C-section. In fact, you may begin nursing (or pumping your milk, if your baby is not immediately able to nurse) as soon as you feel up to it.
Who Might Need a C-Section?
Situations where a C-Section might be required include:
The Birthplace at Bridgeport Hospital offers a refresher class to show you what to expect when you have a trial of labor after at least one cesarean. To sign up, call 203-384-3510.
