PITTSBURGHFor the first time, scientists have been able to map the disruption in neural circuitry of people suffering from congenital prosopagnosia, sometimes known as face blindness, and have been able to offer a biological explanation for this intriguing disorder.
Currently thought to affect roughly two percent of the population, congenital prosopagnosia manifests as the lifelong failure to recognize faces in the absence of obvious neurological damage, and in individuals with intact vision and intelligence.
Studying subjects aged 33 to 72 using diffusion tensor imaging and tractography, the team of scientists from Carnegie Mellon University, Kings College in London and Ben-Gurion University in Israel were able to show that, unlike that of normal brains, there was a reduction in the integrity of the white matter tracts in the brains of individuals with congenital prosopagnosic. Moreover, the extent of the reduced white matter circuitry was related to the severity of the behavioral impairment.
The results are reported in the Nov. 23 online issue of Nature Neuroscience.
White matter is one of the three main solid components of the central nervous system. The white matter is the tissue through which messages pass between different areas of grey matter within the nervous system. People with congenital prosopagnosia are not able to recognize faces, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact.
This discovery of reduced white matter circuitry could also lead to further understanding of other neurodevelopment disorders, such as developmental dyslexia, in which the same underlying neural alterations might be present. The findings are also important as congenital prosopagnosia is, in many cases, inherited and so studies of this sort can help us understand the relationship between genetics and cortical development.
So far, few successful therapies have been developed for affect

Is it just wishful thinking to include Prince William and Prince Harry in our main suspect lineup? While we can't imagine the "good prince" William would cheat on his main squeeze Kate Middleton, the "bad prince" Harry did recently break up with Chelsea Davy. Maybe William is merely being a good wing man, er, wing brother.

The Episcopal House of Bishops, meeting behind closed doors in Texas yesterday, came up with a compromise resolution on how conservative congregations in a liberal diocese can get ministry from an outside bishop.
In a document titled "Caring for All Churches," 160 bishops crafted a complex plan on how to accommodate conservative Episcopal parishes marooned in liberal dioceses that approved the Nov. 2 consecration of V. Gene Robinson as the denomination's first openly homosexual bishop.
"I could not possibly be more proud of our bishops, who with great care and deliberation sought to articulate our shared ministry of reconciliation in ways that are generous toward those who feel themselves in some sense alienated from our common life," presiding Bishop Frank Griswold said.
A tenth of the 2.3 million-member Episcopal Church opposed the consecration and any leadership by the 62 bishops who voted for Bishop Robinson at the Episcopal General Convention in August.
The document was supposed to have been approved during the weekend, but extra sessions were required on Monday and yesterday to produce a final draft that still did not have unanimous approval.
What spurred bishops to come up with the document was a speech by Bishop Mark Dyer, part of the 18-member Eames Commission that is the international body dealing with the fallout over the Robinson consecration. Bishop Dyer, sources said, demanded a compromise document he could present at the next Eames Commission meeting in June at the Virginia Theological Seminary.
The document stipulates that any congregation that invites a conservative bishop to minister to them first must get the approval of their diocesan bishop, a formality that displeases many conservatives.
"This document will only work where it's not needed," said the Rev. Martyn Minns, rector of Truro Episcopal Church in Fairfax, the second largest congregation in the Diocese of Virginia. "It's very bureaucratic, and I'm very disappointed. I think they ducked the whole issue. It's not an issue of reconciliation; it's an issue of truth."
Any rector of a congregation seeking a visit from a conservative bishop must get approval from two-thirds of the church's vestry, or governing board. After the vestry and the rector have a "conference" with their diocesan bishop, the bishop must suggest a replacement.
If the congregation rejects that suggestion, it must meet with the bishop who oversees the province — a regional grouping of dioceses. The provincial bishop can call in several other bishops for advice and recommendations.
Even if the process results in a bishop who pleases the conservative congregation, this arrangement, the document says, is only temporary pending "full restoration" between the congregation and its liberal diocesan bishop.
"This is a solution that shows almost no awareness of the depths of the problem," said the Rev. Kendall Harmon, canon theologian for the Diocese of South Carolina. "This is only a minimal structural change for an enormous crisis."
The document does not deal with liberal bishops who refuse to ordain conservatives to the priesthood or will not grant a conservative parish a priest of its own choosing, he said.
"Under what conditions and by what criteria does a bishop invite someone?" Mr. Harmon asked. "Parishes that are being oppressed by bishops have to go to the person oppressing them, meet with them and then they may provide another bishop for you."

Whether there is Scholasticism influenced by Catholics or by Muslim falsafa (as it was in the cases Smai mentioned), it is inacceptable. Only patristic theology can be the common Orthodox ground of our unchanged faith and for bringing OO and EO back together.
What about the Copts who live in Egypt, though?
Quote from: Severian on August 10, 2012, 10:43:34 AM What about the Copts who live in Egypt, though?Most of them have no idea about theology at all, including the priests who usually have a degree in pharmacy rather than theology. But the students of Fr. Matta and the Patristic institute in Cairo are very active. And especially among those people really interested in doing theology, the patristic current seems quite strong.
Congrats on 1000 posts!

Token money
|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (September 2010)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2007)
Token money is money whose face value exceeds its cost of production. Most modern coins used in circulation are token money, as are paper notes.
Token money has a strong privacy feature in that it works as money without the intervention of any other party in each transaction between two parties. Privacy makes money safe from interference by more powerful third parties. Where property rights are not strong, privacy is required to protect assets and permit trade, and token money works well in this regime.
Hybrid forms[edit]
There are some interesting hybrid forms of token money. Chaumian blinded coins is a form of financial cryptography invented to achieve privacy and thus safety in money over the Internet. In this form, a digital packet is a token that can be passed from hand to hand over a network. However, to defend against infinite copying, the coin should be rolled over at the server in an exchange for a fresh coin, so these forms of token money are at best a simulation of physical tokens, as they permit traffic analysis.
Another simulation of token money is that of smart card money. In this system, the smart card is a token that can be carried, and the money is on the card. However the underlying system has account money on the card, and most smart card money systems employ sophisticated tracking software in order to ensure the safety of the system at the expense of the privacy of the transactions.
Token money is also money whose face value exceeds its cost of production, i.e. the intrinsic value is lower than the extrinsic value. This means that the actual worth of a note or coin is much less than what we use it for. See fiat money and bullion. The cost of production of token money is less than its actual value.

Arie Luyendyk Jr.: "I Passed on" Being the Next Bachelor
Arie Luyendyk, Jr. was dumped by Bachelorette Emily Maynard this spring on ABC, but the 30-year-old race car driver wasn't interested in getting a second shot at love as the network's next Bachelor.
"I passed on Bachelor this season, just to concentrate on racing," Luyendyk told Us Weekly at Thursday's Los Angeles Confidential Magazine Pre-Emmy party in West Hollywood. Intending to resume his career as a professional driver, the former reality TV contestant -- whose rejection of the spinoff gave way for Roberto Martinez and Sean Lowe to be considered -- credits his time on The Bachelorette with helping him refocus his priorities.
PHOTOS: Bachelor: Where are they now?
"I've moved on from the Bachelor franchise and I'm doing well. When I was in that environment, I gained a lot of clarity on what I wanted to do in life and for me it really made me just focus on my career when I got out," says Luyendyk. "That's my first love and I'm pursuing that right now."
PHOTOS: Bachelorette bikini bods
That said, Maynard's ex -- who placed second on the May finale to Maynard's new fiance Jef Holm -- isn't shutting the door entirely on a future in television.
PHOTOS: Was Jef Holm the right guy for Emily Maynard?
"I'll never say never. You just never know what the future can hold," he told Us. "I'm open to everything as long as it doesn't conflict with racing. Hopefully I won't be off the TV set for too long."

Although they only charted two songs on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, both tracks are considered classic examples of early house music and they are still remixed and played in nightclubs today. "Naked In The Rain" was a #4 hit in the UK Singles Chart and a #5 dance hit in the U.S. in 1990, which was originally issued on blue vinyl.

Law Requires Hand Counts of Some Votes
Byline: Greg Bolt The Register-Guard
Every county in Oregon will conduct hand counts of ballots in randomly selected races after Tuesday's general election as part of a new measure to ensure accuracy in the state's vote-counting machines.
The extra counts, required under legislation passed in 2007, were ordered as one more way to test ballot systems. Almost all counties in Oregon, including Lane, count ballots using the same type of optical scanners that also generate a paper trail for each vote.
"We have many checks that we make on the scanners in the system; this is simply a different precaution," said Don Hamilton, a spokesman for the Oregon Secretary of State's office. "We want to be absolutely certain that our count is accurate."
Only a few precincts in a given race will have recounts, which means no outcomes will be changed. The counts will only determine if the optical scanners counted correctly, although county clerks already take a number of steps to ensure accuracy.
That's why the recount isn't all that popular with many county elections officials, who say it adds little to the protections already in place but creates additional work at a time when they already struggle to meet a variety of deadlines. Lane County elections supervisor Annette Newingham said the new requirement mainly stems from lingering suspicion of ballot-counting machines following the contested 2000 presidential race.
"This doesn't change any results," Newingham said. "This is just to validate that the ballot counters are counting correctly a because there's a mistrust of mechanical voting equipment."
Under the law, the recounts will be overseen by a new three-member committee appointed by Secretary of State Bill Bradbury. They are former Oregon Supreme Court Justice Susan Leeson, former Oregon House Speaker Lynn Lundquist and retired Oregon State University statistics professor David Thomas.

Garmin sign up Aussie duo
Two of Australia's most promising young cyclists Nathan Haas and Steele Von Hoff will join Jonathan Vaughters' Slipstream Sports stable for next season.
Haas will go straight into the Garmin-Cervelo World Tour team while Hoff will join the Chipotle development team with a view to stepping up in 2013.
Haas caught the eye of Vaughters after an impressive breakout season, winning all but one of the Australian stage races in the National Road Series.
Haas said it was a "dream come true to be signing with Garmin."
He added: "To even be considered as part of such an incredible outfit is humbling in itself, and I look forward to the next two years working under some of cycling' greats with a huge sense of enthusiasm and optimism.
"Simply put, to leave my development in Garmin-Cervelo's hands, I could not be happier."
Von Hoff, though a year older than the 22-year-old Haas, was not thought to be ready for the higher level team and will be able to build on his 2011 progress in the development team.
"I'm really happy to be part of the Chipotle development team," he said. "It's a really good opportunity for me to step up. Hopefully I'll be introduced to the Pro team and things will kick on from there. It'll give me an extra year to develop and learn which can only be good.

Manufacturing takes spotlight at Placer forumBy: Gloria Young Journal Staff Writer
Manufacturing is a small part of Placer County's economy but it is an important one and it will take the spotlight at an upcoming Placer County Economic Development Board forum. This is the third year for the Manufacturers Forum, which brings together representatives from the manufacturing sector along with public officials and other stakeholders. It will be held Oct. 30 in Rocklin. This year's keynote speaker will be Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who will discuss "An Economic Agenda for Reinvigorating Manufacturing and California Competitiveness." "When he spoke last year at the California Manufacturing Technology Summit, we thought, gosh, he is so articulate about manufacturing and it is such as passion of his that if there was any way we could entice him to join us at the forum, it would a great thing to have him attend," David Snyder, Placer County economic development director, said this week. Placer County Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery, a member of county's Economic Development Board, subsequently contacted Newsom and he agreed to attend. "We built the date around him," Snyder said. "We were flexible in late October. That morning at 10 a.m. was open for him. He is a Placer County native son. He has businesses in Tahoe and grew up in Dutch Flat. His father, a retired judge, lives in Dutch Flat. He spends quite a bit of time there and serves as the Fourth of July grand marshal of their parade every year. He really has a soft spot in his heart for Placer County." The second speaker on the program is Ryan Sharp, director of the Center for Strategic Economic Research. His topic will be the Capital Region Prosperity Plan, a blueprint for transforming the region's economy for long-term sustainable growth, according to a press release. "He'll present some findings from development of the Capital Region Prosperity Plan and also components of the action plan portion of the strategy, particularly advanced manufacturing," Snyder said. The forum will include an interactive panel discussion on "Workers compensation: A look back at 2012, a look ahead to 2013." Panel moderator is Jeremy Merz, policy advocate with the California Chamber of Commerce. He'll be joined by Christine Baker, director of the Department of Industrial Relations, which regulates the workers compensation system in California; Barrett Steward, alternative risk director for the Warren G. Bender Company, which is headquartered in Sacramento and provides workers comp risk management planning for small to medium-size manufacturing companies; and Chris Johnson, vice president of risk management for Pride Industries. Johnson will provide a local perspective in talking about Pride Industries' experience with workers compensation, Snyder said. "Last year we did more of a sort of over-arching discussion on regulatory environment," Snyder said. "Our subcommittee this year really wanted to zero in on a specific regulation. Workers compensation has been in the news because the governor signed SB 863 (Sept. 19). So the question is, will it save the hundreds of millions of dollars out of the system that they proposed it would? Will it reduce fraud? Will it streamline the medical legal process? Will it provide not only benefits to injured workers but will also provide benefits for employers as well? Typically once a decade there is a reform measure like this, but the jury is out on just how effective it will be." The Placer County Office of Economic Development is organizing the forum. "We've invited all 275 manufacturers countywide but then our mailing list doubled in size because you have elected officials and other stakeholders like suppliers and champions of manufacturing, along with educators and those types of folks," Snyder said. His outlook on the current state of manufacturing in Placer County is that "it's not growing, it's not shrinking. It has stabilized." It played a major role through the 1980s and 1990s, helping maintain the county's unemployment rate below regional, state and national levels. The high point came in 1999, when it accounted for 10.3 percent of the non-farm employment. "While manufacturing decreased as a percentage of the workforce, it still accounted for more than 7,000 jobs and an annual payroll of nearly $550 million in 2010," Snyder said in the release. "Expanding the manufacturing sector is critical today because it is an important source of primary wage-earner jobs at many skill levels." It also offers many high-paying jobs. "The average statewide in California is $85,000," Snyder said. "The average non-manufacturing wage is $56,000. Obviously we want to encourage manufacturing." The forum is open to the community. Snyder is also arranging to audio record it and make it available on the Placer County website. Among the sponsors are Sierra College, Centers for Applied Competitive Technologies, Golden Sierra Job Training Agency, Harris and Bruno International. Supervisors Montgomery and Robert Weygandt, members of the economic development board, also will attend. Reach Gloria Young at firstname.lastname@example.com. ------------ Third annual Manufacturers Forum When: 8 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30 Where: Rocklin Event Center, 2650 Sunset Blvd., Rocklin Cost: $10 per person in advance and $15 at the door More information and registration: Kelly Kreeger at (530) 889-4016

POTSDAM The St. Lawrence County clerks office is setting up drop boxes around Ogdensburg to encourage people to renew their vehicle registrations locally instead of mailing them to Albany.
The county receives 12.7 percent of the revenue of all vehicle registration renewals processed by area Department of Motor Vehicle offices, County Clerk Mary Lou Rupp said Tuesday.
This is something people arent aware of, Mrs. Rupp said. They receive them in the mail so they send them back. But the more registration renewals local DMVs process, the more money for the county.
Net revenue for the county is approaching $2 million this year the highest ever, Mrs. Rupp said.
Our revenue has increased every year, but we want to continue that increase, she said.
The drop boxes are located outside Price Chopper, 2981 Ford St. Extension, and at both entrances of the St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union, 333 State St. Forms put in the drop boxes are processed by the Ogdensburg office of the DMV.
I think after we see how it goes in Ogdensburg first as a test run before we successfully put boxes elsewhere, Mrs. Rupp said. Many places could benefit from drop boxes. There is not a DMV in Potsdam.

HSBC boosted their 2013 silver target to $33. from $32 by analyst James Steel,well I guess if you just bought 25Moz of silver and are geetting ready to cover your shorts it is easy to be right, talk about a sure thing.
What these analyst do not talk about is the rising cost of energy it takes to get one ounce of silver out of the ground , in North America the smaller mines break even cost is around $30. so this fact alone will limit the amount of new projects coming online. as oil increases so does these mines EROI . this is just one more reason why silver's price needs to to much higher $41 and up would be nice.

A towering epic to rank with Douglas Preston's Blasphemy and Michael Crichton's Prey
Pandemic drought, skyrocketing oil prices, dwindling energy supplies, and wars of water scarcity threaten the planet. Only four people can prevent global chaos.
Gary Morgan - a brilliant renegade scientist pilloried by the scientific community for his belief in a space elevator: a pillar to the sky, which he believes will make space flight fast, simple, and affordable.
Eva Morgan - a brilliant and beautiful scientist of Ukranian descent, she has had a lifelong obsession to build a pillar to the sky, a vertiginous tower that would mine the power of the sun and supply humanity with cheap, limitless energy forever.
Gunther Rothenberg - the ancient but revered rocket scientist who labored at Peenemünde with von Braun to create the first rockets and continued on to build those of today. A legend, he has mentored Gary and Eva for two decades, nurturing and encouraging their transcendent vision.
Franklin Smith - the eccentric Silicon Valley billionaire who will champion their cause, wage war with Congress and government bureaucracy, and most important, finance their herculean undertaking.
This journey to the stars will not be easy; it will be a tumultuous struggle filled with violence and heroism, love and death, spellbinding beauty and heartbreaking betrayal. The stakes could not be higher. Humanity's salvation will hang in the balance.
©2014 William R. Forstchen (P)2014 Blackstone
"A big disappointment"
I have read many of Mr Forstchen's books and generally enjoyed them so, when I saw this book, I naturally added it to my wish list and, when I wanted something light to read, I bought it. The book purports to be a novel about the building of a space based platform allowing humans to both inexpensively bring objects into space and to collect unlimited solar power for distribution on earth, both worthy goals, but the story was a considerable disappointment to me.
First of all the book does not feel like a novel, but rather like a sales brochure for a set of ideas. The characters are comic book simple and one dimensional - either completely selfless, generous and kind or selfish, undeserving and evil hearted. It feels as though there are no real people in this book. Second, the situations in the book also do not feel real. While the underlying concept is probably scientifically sound and within reach of people in the next 20 or so years, the idea that a couple of people could produce the core functionality with the funds generated mostly by one individual seems wishful thinking at best and the idea that the hidden "lie" behind the first effort would not raise a legal ruckus and shut down the project just feels unreasonable. But, of course, the investors, all very wealthy people, are all selfless and willing to give and give and give, even when lied to. It is all a very pretty concept, but I would like to know what planet Mr Forstchen thought he was writing about.
There is more. There seems to be very little of the tension that often makes books interesting. There is virtually no question about what is going to happen, when it is going to happen and how it will be resolved. If this book had been included between the covers of a glossy brochure as a sales promotion for the idea of limitless power from solar cells, the elimination of Global Warming and the end of having to boost rockets into orbit I would understand how simplistic it felt. As it is I do not.
Grover Gardner does the narration and I believe it is impossible for him to do anything other than an outstanding job narrating anything, including this book, but I have always felt that his narration is best suited for books involving historic events - The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, The Civil War and so on. Wasting his talent on a book like this felt like having James Earl Jones do the voice-over for a cartoon - just a waste of his time and talent. So, in spite of his wonderful narration I cannot recommend this book.
"Nothing like One Second After but still good."
This book is NOT anything like one second after so if you are expecting another post-apocalypse novel you'll be disappointed. However the story is still excellent. Lots of really interesting science "faction" more along the lines of Chriton's Jurassic Park, or Timeline.
"I loved it. . . very inspirational"
A book filled with love and good feelings. The story is fresh, different, and exciting. I will keep this on my listen again list.
"Take me out to the black…"
I don't believe that I have ever experienced a story which portrayed the heart and soul of an engineer or scientist with such compassion, admiration, and understanding.
if it were lyrics set to music it could be an anthem for all those who dream of building a future above the sky.
If you're someone who dreams of the day when we finally break free of Humanity's Cradle and reach out to the stars, this book is definitely for you.
"Great educational fiction"
Most entertaining case for why and how to build a space elevator. Great listen. Good follow up to One Second After.
"Well read, poor story"
I did not enjoy the story as much as I had hoped. Who knew scientists were so religious? As well, lots of repetition, to the point of annoyance. Narrator was quite good though.
"Couldn't take it!"
I have read Mr. Forstchen's books in the past and was anticipating another winner. Sadly, I couldn't even get past part 1. It sounded the same for the first 6 hours of the story. I found myself distracted and bored. Just couldn't bring myself to listen to part 2. Sorry, this one is going back!
"Exciting adventure to a possible future."
Reminded me of what love about Michael Crighton books. A technical journey wrapped in a great story with lovable characters.
Frank Smith because Morgan Freeman is awesome. :)
His accents are spot on.
Many parts
"What a great story of triumph and innovation."
Great continuation of the glory of space exploration and the kind of people who can dream big enough to make it happen.
"very believable"
almost could believe they actually have a space elevator right now, and with really good personal stories to go with the scientific explanations

A self taught artist, I began painting in late 2009 and never looked back. In my work I like to mix it up using a variety of media and techniques. I especially enjoy painting with acrylics and with oil based and acrylic paint pens. I like to think of my art as unique in that I don't stick to just one style. I combine painting, drawing, abstract and realism to create something one-of-a-kind. Vibrant colors and bold images are a hallmark of my style. To me color is everything; it is a mood, a feeling. I listen to the colors as I paint, and they speak for themselves. Raised on Catalina Island, its famous (and not so famous) landmarks feature prominently in my work. However, I prefer to paint classic Catalina images with a twist,...

Secrets To Facilitating Patient Adherence
The basic question is really "How do you get someone to do something that they do not especially want to do?" The fictional Tom Sawyer was the classic king of this skill but as physicians, we are trying to do something a bit more complicated than getting someone to paint a fence. We are trying to get our patients to adhere to the instructions of given treatment regimens, such as taking a confusing regimen of pharmaceuticals or staying off an injured foot.
Although the word "non-compliance" is not in the title of this article, be assured that the issue is here to stay and it is indeed at the center of the discussion. There are those who believe there is no such thing as non-compliance and that the problem is just an inability to communicate successfully with a patient. This remains a controversial issue but what can be agreed upon is the need to facilitate a patient's adherence to the physician's prescribed regimen.
Why Patients Do Not Comply
In order to facilitate this adherence, a podiatrist needs to understand in advance why the patient may not follow his or her instructions.
It is the rare, psychologically impaired patient who digs in and refuses to try to comply with a reasonable request. There is usually a cause behind non-compliance. Most of the reasons fall into one of the following 10 categories.
1. The patient is not physically able to comply.
2. The patient has difficulty remembering instructions or cannot understand complicated regimens.
3. The patient is a "control freak" and believes he or she knows better than the doctor.
4. The patient would truly like to comply but is unable to because of financial reasons.
5. The patient has not yet come to grips with the illness and how it is affecting his or her life. Accordingly, he or she is "not ready" to comply.
6. The patient is not literate and cannot understand instructions.
7. The patient is not motivated to comply.
8. The patient has cultural issues with the treatment or the practitioner.
9. The patient has generational issues.
10. The patient may be fearful of the effects of the treatment regimen.
The secret to facilitating a treatment regimen is found in addressing the specific cause of the potential non-compliance before it has an opportunity to occur. Most of these potential causes of non-adherence are clear-cut and one can surmount them if there is open communication between the patient and physician. Indeed, there may be financial difficulties, literacy issues, motivation and/or difficulty in "coming to grips" with a diagnosis. Granted, these can be embarrassing issues for a patient and the physician may need to open up the line of conversation.
The more trying issues are those that are related to the patient's disease state because they are multifactorial. These include not only emotional factors but physical factors as well.
Does The Disease Make A Difference?
Disease does make a difference, in particular, if that disease happens to be diabetes mellitus.
The resultant neuropathy and cognitive difficulties that can accompany diabetes can impair a patient's ability to comply. For example, if a neuropathic patient has a total contact cast, the patient may earnestly not realize that he has walked as much as he has and may be startled to discover, upon removal of the cast, that an ulceration has become worse.
Research has shown that cognitive abilities can be affected by uncontrolled diabetes. This impairment may or may not make it more difficult for the patient with diabetes to understand instructions but it is important for the physician to keep this in mind.
One research group studied patients with type I diabetes who chose not to come to medical appointments. They found that these patients fell into three groups: the "high fear" group, the "patient as expert" group and the "low motivation" group. They did not explore the implications of disease complications on non-adherence to the program.
What Impact Can Non-Adherence Have?
Other than altruism and pride, is there a reason for the physician to want a patient to comply with treatment instructions? There are more reasons than the doctor may suspect. Yes, legal and financial reasons can factor into the picture. If there is a negative outcome, the patient may believe it is the physician's fault in spite of the fact that he or she did not adhere to a single bit of the physician's instructions. Even if there is no legal case, a patient's word-of-mouth about his or her experience can be equally destructive to a physician's reputation and financial bottom line.
However, the patient is usually on the losing end of non-adherence. A Family Practice Management article reported that about 6 percent of hospital admissions were caused by non-compliance. For instance, consider a patient who takes more medication than is safe because the prescribed regimen does not address the pain sufficiently and ends up with liver failure, on a transplant list and looking for someone to blame. A look at recent newspaper headlines tells us all this is happening more and more, both with prescription drugs and over-the-counter preparations containing acetaminophen. No physician wants this for his or her patients.
Perhaps the group that has followed the trend with the most interest is the pharmaceutical industry. It is in the best financial interest of pharmaceutical companies that patients both fill and use their prescriptions (and refill them again). Accordingly, it is understandable that they would a href="/files/photos/adherencelead.jpg" rel="lightbox">track this information. In one survey reported by the American Academy of Family Practitioners (AAFP), Upjohn Company reported that 20 percent of respondents did not fill a prescription given to them during a one-year period. The number one reason reported was a belief that they did not actually need the medication prescribed.
Another study discussed by AAFP reported that 21 percent of those respondents did not believe the medication prescribed was actually necessary, 22 percent feared the side effects and 14 percent cited an inability to afford the prescription.
These outcomes are a clear indication that there is a lack of communication and trust between patient and physician.
The cost of that mistrust and resulting non-adherence is counted in real dollars as well as in pain and suffering. The cost of needlessly incurred healthcare events is estimated at $8.5 billion by the National Pharmaceutical Council. This includes dollars spent on hospitalizations and physicians visits needed when treatment regimens were not adhered to in the first place.
There is not a great deal of formal research data about adherence to treatment regimens among the podiatric population. However, Armstrong and Harkless did look at outcomes in their South Texas diabetic patient population and found that non-compliance can end in amputation.
The study looked at the risk of complications when patients did not keep their clinical appointments. The authors defined non-compliance as "missing greater than 50 percent of scheduled appointments in any calendar year." Of the 341 patients in their study, 30 fell into this group.
They used the University of Texas Diabetic Foot Classification system and found that patients who were compliant, and in categories 0 and 1, had a zero incidence of ulceration. These patients, who retained sensation in their feet, were on top of their appointments and remained unaffected by the disease.
Patients in the non-compliant group were over 50 percent more likely to have foot ulcerations and, with increasing underlying neuropathy and deformity, they became more than 20 times more likely than the compliant patients to have an amputation.
Other Implications Of Non-Compliance
Not adhering to a treatment regimen can also mean not showing up for a scheduled surgery, and that can wreak havoc on schedules, impact other patients and eventually (if it is a continuing problem) impair a surgeon's ability to have procedures scheduled at attractive times. No surgeon wants to be harnessed with the afternoon slots at the surgery centers and hospitals.
One recently reported study found that patients who tended to not show up for scheduled surgery had also previously shown a tendency to exhibit the same behavior with other healthcare encounters like clinic visits.
In a proactive move to fight against non-adherence, this study suggested scheduling patients identified as non-compliant later in the schedule as a cost-cutting move that would cause the least amount of disruption.
A Closer Look At Subtle Undercurrents Of Non-Adherent Behavior
St. Luke said it first: "Physician, heal thyself," and it is still good advice. In an article in Family Medicine in 1986, the idea of a power struggle between the patient and physician was examined along with the role this played in non-compliance.
Every physician can probably remember at least one patient who seemed to "push all the wrong buttons" and a simple statement about a treatment escalated into a gauntlet throwing challenge.
Ross and Phipps point to each party's "emotional needs" as being the actual cause of this type of confrontation. In other words, it is not really about the issue at hand but is instead about the issue that remains hidden — a power play, machismo, mistrust, the patient as expert, the physician as dictator.
Non-compliance with pediatric treatment regimens has been reported to be as high as 93 percent in one study and because of the significant and negative potential outcomes, there has been a great deal of study done about this particular group. These practitioners also have the added onus of having to "treat" the child's caregiver as well.
A Guide To Overcoming The Non-Compliance Problem
With medication regimens being the most problematic for all providers, the authors of "How Do You Improve Compliance?" outlined the following steps.
1. Improve communication between the physician and patient. Time is an ever decreasing commodity with the demands of billing, supervising staff and other practice demands. Podiatrists can hand out patient brochures and instruction sheets in order to maximize information exposure and minimize hands-on time. However, studies invariably show that giving a piece of paper to a patient without an accompanying discussion — including questioning the patient about its contents after discussing it — is an exercise in futility.
The caregiver has to connect with the patient. This involves maintaining eye contact with the patient and speaking to his or her level of education. Listening is a major part of communication with a patient, especially when it comes to clues a patient may offer as to his or her non-adherence.
2. Be willing to make changes to a plan and negotiate regimens. This may seem entirely foreign to most physicians who are by definition the boss of their practices. However, a patient's unwillingness to follow a plan may be backed up by a good reason for not doing so whether it is a lack of financial resources or perhaps an unyielding schedule. The physician may be able to reach a happy medium with the patient that will not compromise the treatment. Examples of this include prescribing a generic medication rather than a brand name or recommending a walker instead of a wheelchair that cannot be propelled over carpeting in a patient's home.
3. Try to get the patient to take ownership of his or her disease. A gentle reminder that the patient "takes his or her disease home" and doesn't leave it with you will sometimes jar the patient's realization.
4. Keep the treatment regimen as simple as possible. If a medication can be dosed fewer times per day, the patient is much more likely to comply. Postoperative instructions are rife with complicated steps. Keeping it relatively basic will improve the chances of the patient following any of the instructions.
Be cautious about potentially ambiguous language. One postoperative patient, after reading that the bandages should be kept clean, washed them in her home sink and reapplied them, exposing the surgical wound to potential infection. Adding the word "intact" might have kept the dressings in place.
5. Consider other methods of fostering patient adherence. For those who enjoy higher technology and have access to it, computer programs may help patients to track their symptoms or disease state.
Even something as low-tech as a pill box imprinted with the days of the week can be a tool to help the patient.
British researchers point to other behaviors that will enhance patient compliance. They suggest creating a more patient-friendly environment; striving for minimum waiting times; developing a more conversational style; asking patients about their beliefs and fears; asking them how much they actually want to know about their condition; and/or reviewing the costs of non-compliance with them.
Final Notes
It is difficult not to muse about the idealized perfection seen in Norman Rockwell's classic illustrations about the doctor and his patient. There was always respect emanating from the patient to the physician and a sense of protectiveness and caring for the patient in return. It definitely is idealized though if you believe a study that revealed that patients may perceive that the physician does not even have their best interest in mind.
That probably comes as a shock to most physicians who believe they always have their patients' best interests at heart. It is probably also a warning to those physicians to look into their patients' hearts as well.

Office Sterilization (Essure)
Serving Greater Boston communities, the center for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) at Newton-Wellesley Hospital offers Essure®, an office sterilization procedure, to our patients.
What is Essure?>
Essure® is hysteroscopic tubal occlusion, a female sterilization option that can be competed in the office without any incisions. A hysteroscope, a thin tube containing a video camera, is inserted through the vagina into the cervix and uterus. A small coil is then placed in each fallopian tube. These coils stay in the fallopian tubes and cause the tubes to close completely off, resulting in permanent contraception.
An X-ray test is performed three months after the coils are in place to confirm that the tubes are closed. Essure® can be performed in the office or in the operating room with anesthesia.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This tincture generally relieves my cramps (I have pretty bad ones) in about 45 minutes. I do not expeience any side effects. It's a shame doctors won't share the benefits of herbal remedies with their patients - the FDA approves all kinds of things that are worse.
I have uterine cramps that cease with the use of this and home made motherwort tincture- works better for me than ibuprofen which can lead to more bleeding and ulcers. i put my drops in warm water to allow some of the alcohol to evaporate or hold it under my tongue if i just cannot wait for relief. this is my fourth bottle, have been using it as needed for over a year, just recently combined with motherwort and need to use it less frequently...
