This time of year brings out individuals who are looking for crimes of opportunity as well as those thieves who actually follow delivery trucks and target homes when the delivery is made.
You wouldn't leave your shopping bags on your doorstep? Why would you leave your packages?
If you are taking advantage of online shopping, there are a few things you can do to reduce your chances of being victimized by thieves:
As always, watch for suspicious behavior in your neighborhood, especially if you see a delivery truck making the rounds and a vehicle following behind or unfamiliar subjects on foot and call 9-1-1 if you observe a crime in progress.

FAIRFIELD, N.J., March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The nagging problem of patient adherence to their medicines will be addressed in a novel way at a May event that seeks to bring pharmaceutical industry stakeholders together to review the latest research and collaborate on strategies to improve patient adherence. With RxAdherence 2011, the Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council seeks to foster greater collaboration between marketers and packagers to build a compliance-packaging strategy into the product development and launch process.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101214/LA16070LOGO)
For the last 18 years, the Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council (HCPC) has explored the scope of the problem and potential packaging solutions at its annual National Symposium on Patient Compliance. Now HCPC is expanding its lineup of speakers and invited attendees to include pharmaceutical marketing professionals and others involved in pharmaceutical development, branding, and market analysis.
Speakers at the conference will include Vernon Schabert, principal, IMS Health Economics and Outcomes Research, who will review current adherence interventions; Rebecca Burkholder, JD, VP of health policy, National Consumers League, who will explain NCL's national multi-media campaign; and Tom Hubbard, senior program director, the National Network for Health Innovation, who will look at the current state of adherence programs in the context of ongoing health care reform initiatives.
Data from cases in which packaging has played a role in medication adherence will also be shared. Ted Lithgow, Ph.D., chief science officer, MWV Healthcare, will present just-released peer-reviewed pharmacoepidemiological research analyzing pharmacy claims data. Another presentation, by Kamal Jethwani M.D., lead research Scientist, Center for Connected Health, will review a six-month study on the use of a

City Secrets-Canterwood Crest Series by J. Burkhart
City Secrets-Canterwood Crest Series by Jessica Burkhart
City Secrets-Canterwood Crest Series by Jessica Burkhart is the 9th book in a series detailing the lives of girls at an equestrian academy. Jump into the drama, hardships, good times, and of course, horses!
In City Secrets, Sasha is in New York City for break, just like she'd planned. What she hadn't planned was that she'd be staying with Heather Fox in her Park Avenue penthouse, and spending her time shopping, riding, and (could it be?) having a blast. Is Sasha getting caught in a web only the Queen of Canterwood could weave?
For Middle School Readers, ages 9-13.

- Product Details
Now Foods Red Yeast Rice, 1200 mg is a unique natural product native to China, that's been used in Asian traditional medical systems since approximately 800 A.D. Produced by fermenting red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with white rice. Red Yeast Rice is commonly used in cooking applications to enhance the color and flavor of foods. Peking Duck is an example of the coloration and flavor imparted by Red Yeast Rice.
Now Foods Red Yeast Rice, 1200 mg is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, a sometimes toxic by-product of the fermentation process.

I have narrowed it down to a Velocity Deep-V or a Mavic A-719 or 317 Disc. The bike in question is a Poprad Disc. I already have the hubs chosen and now deciding on the rims. Like i stated before I am larger rider, going to use it for general road, commuting and some touring.
What is best suited for this duty? I would like an "all black rim" will be using DT Comp spokes and it will be 36h f/r. How large of a tire can I fit on a 19mm wide rim like the deep-v? I plan on maybe going as high as 38mm. Any suggestions on the best all around tire for on/light-off road use? currently have the stock 34mm Jones CX.
As always, thanks for all the opinions!

What's on in Singapore this week
Making Space – 25 Years of The Substation
Debbie Ding curates this exhibition, which presents artefacts, such as old event posters from The Substation's archives, as well as a new video featuring 25 members of the arts community sharing their hopes for The Substation.
Reverse Exotic
Turkish artist Lale Tara's first exhibition in Asia features photographs of her posing as a life-size doll. In this collection, she challenges and reinterprets the images of famous literary characters such as Lolita and Lady Macbeth. Reverse Exotic trains the Western gaze back onto their own characters, portraying the West as the 'exotic other' for once.
The solo exhibition by Singaporean art collective trio Vertical Submarine features fast-disappearing local vernacular language splashed across art. The exhibit pays tribute to local dialect culture through the use of rhymes on old-school poster art and signages, modeling the collection after modern-day marketing campaigns.
What It Is About When It Is About Nothing
In the rash of SG50-themed exhibitions, here is one that aims to be about 'nothing' - this collection by artists like Ho Rui An and Adeline Kueh seeks to broaden Singapore art beyond the usual themes of identity and history. With various mediums including digital print and video, the exhibition seeks to explore the essence of vacancy.
ArchiFest 2015
There's nothing like theoretical architecture to get our minds in a twist. And there'll be plenty of the sort – alongside talks, exhibitions, film screenings, and more – at this year's Archifest, whose theme is, fittingly, 'What Future?' The folks behind Archifest aren't just turning their attention to the future of Singapore but her past as well. The architecture festival is screening Royston Tan's double-bill of Old Places and Old Romances. The former shines the spotlight on soon-to-be demolished locations around the island, while the latter presents personal stories culled from everyday Singaporeans about the places and friends they remember (though some have changed). Find out more about the Archifest festival directors' visions of future Singapore here.
Celebration of Chrysanthemums at Gardens By The Bay
Chrysanthemums, a symbolic motif in traditional Chinese art, are the centrepiece of a Mid-Autumn themed display complete with lanterns and a teahouse at the Flower Dome.

Clinton hails 'historic' UN gay rights resolution
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed Friday's passage of a UN resolution on the rights of gays as a "historic moment," saying it affirms that human rights are universal.
The UN Human Rights Council narrowly passed the resolution which seeks equal rights for all regardless of sexual orientation, by a vote of 23 to 19 with three abstentions, in Geneva.
"This represents a historic moment to highlight the human rights abuses and violations that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people face around the world based solely on who they are and whom they love," Clinton said in a statement.
She said people all over the world face rights abuses and violations because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"Today's landmark resolution affirms that human rights are universal. People cannot be excluded from protection simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity," she said.
The resolution, which expresses "grave concern" over violence and discrimination against individuals over their sexual orientation or gender identity, was vehemently opposed by Arab and African states and is not binding.
But US diplomats said the resolution expands the concept of universal human rights in a new direction, helping to establish a new standard on issues that have been taboo in many parts of the world.
"It is the first internationally recognized form of protection for lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual people," said Eileen Donahoe, the US ambassador to the Human Rights Council.
"It is now on the map as a legitimate topic for those concerned about human rights to be raising and reaffirming internationally. And we think this is a game changer in terms of changing the culture, at least on the Human Rights Council, for protection of LGBT people," she said.

Quiverfull and the Introvert: Where Do You Get Your Energy?
by Barbie Getzreal"Where do you get your energy?!"This is a question which is frequently asked of Quiverfull moms by amazed and admiring onlookers who cannot imagine being able to keep up with the exponential demands of "biblical womanhood" including: perpetual pregnancy, child-bearing, adopting sibling groups, breastfeeding, baby wearing, chronic sleep deprivation, raising half a dozen or more closely-spaced, "stair-step" children, homeschooling - year round through chronic illness, child-training, character training, tomato-staking, discipling children, homemaking, penny-pinching, organic gardening, baking from scratch, once-a-month cooking, homesteading, sewing modest clothing, s … [Read more...]

Young patriarch tells it like it is: Woman indeed is the weaker vessel; Sodomites hate God, and infiltrate churches to spit in God's face … Am I controlling for keeping my woman away from these evil men? Then so be it.
(Trigger warning: patronizing, misogyny, homophobia...)Last night, a patriarch-in-training named "Matt" spent a lot of time reading and commenting on the NLQ FAQ: What Is Quiverfull?It's possible that Matt is a troll and his comments should be ignored or deleted - but his arguments are not at all unlike the "biblical" beliefs which I heard taught/preached regularly during my Quiverfull days. I am assuming Matt is a young man based on his immaturity and know-it-all attitude - of course, given that patriarchs rarely grow up, it's possible that he is an old man - maybe he's the pastor of an IFB church.So, without further ado - here's Matt: I take it from your post that you are … [Read more...]

The Destiny of a Virtuous Daughter ~ Part 3: Pop Guns & Purity Rings
by Starfury Growing up, I read books like The King's Daughter, Dear Princess, Beautiful Girlhood, Waiting for Her Isaac, and The Courtship of Sarah MacLean over and over. I would plan out having twenty six children, so I could use every letter of the alphabet when I named them. I would try to devise my own homeschool curriculum based on the ones I had used, and what I liked and didn't like about them. On top of all that, I was writing my own Proverbs 31 devotional.And yet, somewhere in all of this, I was still punching things into a "computer" on a tree, and yelling for everyone to get out and climb the Jeffries Tubes because of a warp core breach. Rather than make a hoop skirt, I made a … [Read more...]

The Beautiful Girlhood Doll ~ Part 10: I Am a Person, Not a Doll!
by Libby AnneIt has now been some years since I left my parents' house and shifted for myself. I think my parents were somewhat surprised that I was able to make it on my own and that I did not come home asking for help, or maybe it was just me who was surprised. I found inner sources of strength I had not known I had. At the same time, my college friends, both the original evangelical ones and new ones I had met, were a wonderful source of support, and always accepted me regardless of what I did or didn't believe. I finished college on my own, and was extremely proud at graduation.During this time I also found someone special, and I married him not long after finishing college. Because … [Read more...]

He was going to graduate school (3 hours away) that August, and we both knew that we did not want to risk our parents nixing a wedding before next summer. A wedding over Christmas or spring break sounded complicated, and we both knew that he would be distracted from his schoolwork driving down to see me. Secretly I felt that I would go insane if I had to go days and days without seeing him. After a few calls to family members who lived some distance away, we settled on a date in July, eight short weeks away.I now had a ring on my finger, and people who knew me at violin classes were shocked, … [Read more...]

It was kind of nice to be officially courting, because now we could get down to business and talk in more depth about our beliefs and what we were hoping for in a marriage relationship and children.That Monday after Greek class (while my sisters hung around and waited for me to be ready to leave) we even talked a little bit about ideas for a wedding.

The Beautiful Girlhood Doll ~ Part 6: Joy & Friendship
by Libby Anne The woman of God is joyful and seeks companionship with those who share the same vision. For the daughter who has embraced the beauty of Christian girlhood, the richest friendships begin within her family, where she learns to love and honor, and first learns the joy of belonging to another.I had a lot of friends growing up, and they definitely all shared my vision. In fact, they were all exactly like me! All of my friends were white, middle class, and homeschooled, and they all shared the same religious beliefs that my parents did.

While other girls are driven by wanderlust, the hospitable girl finds true contentment at home.I loved being at home, and I never wanted to be anywhere else. My home was my father's castle, and I loved it. While some of my siblings sometimes chaffed at not being allowed to go out and do things with their friends like other children, it never bothered me one bit.

Selena Gomez Rocks Sexy Gold Bodice at Billboard Music Awards
"Come & Get It," indeed! While performing her hit song at the Billboard Music Awards at the Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena, Selena Gomez looked hotter than ever, rocking a sexy gold, cleavage-baring bodice.
Keeping the rest of her onstage ensemble fairly simple, the singer, 20, chose to wear her hair down and go completely barefoot -- matching her eyebrow-raising outfit with gold colored-jewels on her forehead and a bindi to complete her Bollywood-inspired look.
The former Wizards of Waverly Place actress was introduced by the show's host, comedian Tracy Morgan, who first flubbed Gomez's name during his opening monologue, calling her "Celine."
However, Morgan made nice with Gomez before her performance, referring to her as a "role model" to his daughter.
PHOTOS: Celebs with Bieber fever
"My daughter loves Selena Gomez," he said. "She's a role model to girls. That's why Selena, you gotta do a song about listening to your father...call it, 'Yes sir, right away sir.'"
The Spring Breakers actress and her off-and-on love, Justin Bieber, declined to walk the blue carpet together.
PHOTOS: Justin and Selena, the way they were
Gomez's relationship status seemed to be far from her mind before the music event, tweeting on May 18 that she was feeling "#excitednervousanxious" about her performance.
Her upcoming album, Stars Dance, is due out this summer.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is teasing an announcement for PocketStation, the memory card peripheral originally released for the first PlayStation. If you never seen or heard about the PocketStation, that's mainly because it was only available in Japan in 1999 and discontinued three years later.
SCEJ launched a website for an announcement, dated November 5, as well as a video that features Sony Japan's mascot Toro.
PocketStation is a memory card for the original PlayStation that included a small monochrome LCD screen much like Dreamcast's Virtual Memory Unit. The device could be used to extend gameplay experiences with compatible games as well as play software developed for the PocketStation itself.
It's interesting that Sony is bringing the device back in the spotlight though it's unclear exactly what they plan to announce. My guess is it'll be a part of the PlayStation App or as an app for mobile devices/PS Vita.

"Toxic algae outbreaks slimed Florida's inland waters this summer, killing wildlife, hurting property values and devastating tourism revenue," said Manley Fuller, president, Florida Wildlife Federation. Thousands of residents have protested, calling for a statewide emergency management plan to stop the toxic slime."
The report urges federal public officials to set limits on the amount of phosphorous allowed into waters; to maintain efforts to restore the nation's great waters, including the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, and others; and to pass a strong Farm Bill that pays farmers to take specific actions to help protect soil and water quality.
Congress' failure to reauthorize the Farm Bill jeopardizes funding for programs like the Conservation Stewardship program aimed at helping farmers protect water quality through implementation of agricultural best management practices. Those include planting cover crops, restoring wetlands or creating buffer strips to filter farm runoff.
More federal attention to the problem is needed. "The reach and extent of harmful algal blooms has likely been under-reported due to the lack of a national program to track health warnings and lakes closures," said Alan Wilson, associate professor of limnology at Auburn University. "Regional monitoring networks could help fill this important scientific void, and tell us more about how climate change, land use and nutrient pollution influence HAB frequency and intensity."
The following experts and spokespeople are available to comment nationwide.

A metric deformation and the first eigenvalue of Laplacian on -forms
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We search for a higher-dimensional analogue of Calabi's example of a metric deformation, quoted by Cheeger, which inspired him to prove an inequality between the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on functions and an isoperimetric constant. We construct an example of a metric deformation on , , where the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on functions remains bounded above from zero, and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on -forms tends to zero. This metric deformation makes the sphere in the limit into a manifold with a cone singularity, which is an intermediate point on a path of deformation from an (, some metric) to an ( , some metric).

"City of Brides" Top 5 Page for this destination Kherson by rickwiedmaier
Kherson Travel Guide: 60 reviews and 75 photos
I traveled to Kherson specifically to meet some women. The city is full of beautiful women, as is all of Ukraine. I met my lovely wife there. It is well off the beaten path. THe reason I chose to visit Kherson was because of a web page I found www.khersongirls.com I had travelled to Ukraine before and was scammed by a Ukrainian owned agency and a girl in Odessa, everything about www.windoflove.com was a lie and designed to scam Americans. I chose khersongirls.com because it is American owned and I spoke to the owner in Florida before going to Ukraine a second time. Talk to Keviin and he will explaine it all to you.
- Pros:Beautiful women everywhere, everything is very cheap
- Cons:Hotels are crap, I rented a great apartment form the marriage agency
- In a nutshell:A great city if you are looking for a wife, not a tourist trap

Article: In vitro susceptibility of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis strains in a country with high azithromycin consumption rate[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although Chlamydia trachomatis resistance is not of great concern due to its excellent sensitivity to the currently recommended first-line antibiotics (azithromycin and doxycycline), clinical treatment failures have been reported and some of them were linked to laboratory proved resistance. The aim of this study was to determine in vitro susceptibility to azithromycin and doxycycline for 24 urogenital chlamydial strains isolated in Croatia-a country with the highest consumption of azithromycin in Europe and with very high antibiotic prescription rates. Fourteen isolates from cervical swabs, nine from male urethral swabs, and one isolate from expressed prostatic secretion were tested in McCoy cell culture system. All strains were susceptible to azithromycin and doxycycline with minimal inhibitory concentration for azithromycin and doxycycline ranging from 0.064 to 0.125 μg/mL and 0.016 to 0.064 μg/mL, and minimal chlamydicidal concentration ranging from 0.064 to 2.0 μg/mL and 0.032 to 1.0 μg/mL, respectively. Since we still lack information on whether C. trachomatis is evolving in vivo in response to antibiotic selection pressure, this kind of surveillance for resistance is essential in detecting shifts in antimicrobial susceptibilities.Folia Microbiologica 12/2012; 58(5).

Article: A Switch Therapy Protocol with Intravenous Azithromycin and Ciprofloxacin Combination for Severe, Relapsing Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis: a Prospective Non-Comparative Pilot Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is characterized by intense clinical symptoms, frequent relapse episodes and poor quality of life. Aggressive antibacterial therapy is warranted to eradicate the causative pathogens and to achieve a permanent cure. We administered a "switch-therapy" protocol to 30 patients showing severe CBP symptoms and two or more relapse episodes in the previous 12 months. Patients received intravenous azithromycin (500 mg/day) and ciprofloxacin (800 mg/day) for 3 days, followed by oral ciprofloxacin (1 g/day) for 25 days.Twenty-seven (90%) patients showed pathogen eradication at test-of-cure (TOC) visit. Five cases of infection relapse were detected at follow-up. At the TOC visit, 25 patients (83%) showed mild/absent symptoms, measured with the NIH-chronic prostatitis symptom index.These results indicate the efficacy of a "switch-therapy" protocol, based on combined azithromycin and ciprofloxacin. Comparative studies on larger CBP patient populations are warranted to confirm these encouraging results.Journal of chemotherapy (Florence, Italy) 12/2011; 23(6):350-3.

Article: Macrolides for the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis: An effective application of their unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile (Review)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is a persistent infection of the prostate characterized by poor quality of life mainly due to frequent relapse episodes caused by incomplete eradication of causative pathogens. Aggressive antibacterial therapy is required to attenuate the severe symptoms of CBP and to achieve a permanent cure. Although fluoroquinolones are currently recommended as first-choice agents, macrolide antibiotics are emerging as a noteworthy option for the treatment of CBP. Macrolide antibiotics are characterized by an impressive array of distinct pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties. These properties include high intracellular accumulation in phagocytes and at sites of infection, including the prostate; broad antibiotic but also biofilm-inhibiting properties; immunomodulating and inflammation-resolving activities. These features offer particular advantages for the treatment of chronic infections of the prostate gland, which are not easily amenable to drug therapy. Macrolides may be exploited to counteract the unsatisfactory rates of clinical symptom improvement and pathogen eradication. The results of a number of clinical trials support this proposal.Molecular Medicine Reports 11/2011; 4(6):1035-44. DOI:10.3892/mmr.2011.575 · 1.55 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: S indrom prostatitisa čest je klinički entitet i naziv je za niz poremećaja funkcije prostate.1,2 O sindromu prostatitisa govorimo stoga što etiologija bolesti nije u potpunosti razjašnjena, a dijagnostički i terapijski kriteriji nisu jasno određeni.3-5 Sindrom prostatitisa najčešći je urološki problem u muškaraca mlađih od 50 godina i treći najčešći urološki problem u starijih muškaraca.6 Prevalencija sindroma prostatitisa približno je 10% u muškaraca u dobi od 20 do 74 godine.7 Prostatitis utječe na kvalitetu života bo-lesnika u jednakoj mjeri kao bolest koronarnih arterija ili Crohnova bolest8, a na mentalno zdravlje bolesnika utječe jednako kao i šećerna bolest ili kongestivno sr-čano zatajenje.1 Povijesno je prostatitis podijeljen u četiri katego-rije:9,10 1. akutni bakterijski prostatitis, 2. kronični bakterijski prostatitis, 3. nebakterijski prostatitis i 4. prostatodinija. Godine 1995. National Institute of Health SAD-a (NIH) osniva radionicu koja donosi novu, unaprijeđenu klasifikaciju sindroma prostatitisa (tablica 1).11 Tri godine kasnije, 1998. godine, International Prostatitis Collaborative Network potvrđuje korist ove klasifikacije u kliničkoj primjeni i znanstvenim istra-živanjima, a ubrzo je donesen internacionalni upitnik NIH-Chronic Prostatits Symptom Index koji se odnosi na tri najvažnije skupine simptoma kroničnog prostatitisa: bol ili nelagoda, mokrenje i utjecaj simptoma na kvali-tetu života koji omogućuje objektivnu procjenu težine simptoma, progresije bolesti i vrednovanje rezultata provedenog liječenja.12 Najčešća forma sindroma prostatitisa je skupina 3., dakle kronični nebakterijski prostatitis/sindrom kronične zdjelične boli, koja čini 90% svih oblika sin-droma prostatitisa.13 Antimikrobno liječenje indicira-no je kod akutnog i kroničnog bakterijskog prostatitisa, upalnog oblika sindroma kronične zdjelične boli, te u odabranih bolesnika s neupalnim oblikom sindroma kronične zdjelične boli i s asimptomatskim upalnim prostatitisom.14-17
Article: Eradication of Chlamydia trachomatis parallels symptom regression in chronic bacterial prostatitis patients treated with a fluoroquinolone-macrolide combination[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the association between eradication of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and symptom regression in chronic prostatitis, 55 symptomatic patients were subjected to segmented tests to localise CT in first voided urine (VB1), prostatic secretions (EPS), post-massage voided (VB3) or semen specimens. Patients were divided in three treatment groups: the 'urethral involvement' group ('U': VB1 positive, EPS/VB3/Semen negative) was treated with 500 mg day(-1) azithromycin for 3 days. The 'prostatitis' group ('P': VB1 negative, EPS/VB3/semen positive) with 4-week levofloxacin-azithromycin combination. A third group, 'U+P' (VB1, EPS/VB3/semen positive) received both treatments in sequence. In P patients, eradication of CT was paralleled by marked, sustained symptom improvement and by significant decrease of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Compared with U patients, undergoing rapid regression of symptoms related to painful micturition after short-term azithromycin, U+P patients showed symptom and pathogen persistence in VB3/EPS/semen and required additional treatment with 4-week levofloxacin-azithromycin to achieve pathogen eradication, symptom regression, and decrease of PSA. Our results support a causative role of CT in chronic bacterial prostatitis. In the presence of a positive urethral localisation of the pathogen, thorough microbiological investigation together with focused symptom analysis may reveal an underlying chlamydial prostatitis and direct effective therapy with appropriate antibacterial agents.Andrologia 12/2010; 42(6):366-75.

ABSTRACT: In the last decade, an impressive amount of clinical research data has shed new light on pathogenesis and management of the chronic prostatitis syndrome. A new classification and a validated symptom score have enabled urologists worldwide to speak a "common language", thus greatly improving the amount and quality of focused research in this field. In Europe, a large number of groups and experts have been actively involved in this research, and have developed in many cases a genuine view on prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain etiology, diagnosis and treatment. The present paper, written by a panel of researchers from Europe and Far East Russia, reviews the most recent findings, discusses the most controversial contemporary topics on prostatitis syndromes, and highlights a number of unresolved issues requiring further research and study.Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia: organo ufficiale [di] Società italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica / Associazione ricerche in urologia 06/2010; 82(2):75-82.

ABSTRACT: Urogenital infections are among the most common infectious diseases of humans in the world. They are one of the leading causes of acute diseases, chronic health impairment and mortality. Sexually transmitted infections are important public health problem due to their epidemic spread, numerous complications leaving permanent consequences on the human health as well as large expenses that health care systems and individuals have to pay for their detection, prevention and treatment. Urinary tract infections are the most common bacterial infections in humans and the most common reason for justified antibiotic prescriptions. Prostatitis syndrome is the most common urological problem in males younger than 50 years of age and third most common urological problem in older men. This paper does not deal with all existing problems regarding antimicrobial treatment of sexually transmitted infections, urinary tract infections and prostatitis syndrome, however basic guidelines that cover the majority of conditions are presented.Medicinski glasnik 02/2010; 7(1):1-11. · 0.20 Impact Factor
Article: [Determining antimicrobial resistance to Chlamydia trachomatis and applying present findings in daily practice].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is the most common bacterial causative agent of sexually transmitted diseases today. Treatment outcome will depend on the choice of antimicrobial drug. Therefore, it is very important to know antimicrobial sensitivity of this pathogen. Cultivation in cell culture is a method of choice for diagnosis of C. trachomatis infection, in terms of medico-legal investigations and follow-up after completed therapy, but also serves for determining the antimicrobial sensitivity of C. trachomatis. Tetracyclines, macrolides and kinolones are commonly used in the treatment of the C. trachomatis infection. Resistance to these antibiotics was described for strains isolated from unsuccessfully treated patients. All described resistant clinical strains demonstrated in vitro heterotypic resistance. To date no homotypic resistance was described for human isolates. An evaluation of antimicrobial resistance and treatment outcome in C. trachomatis infection is complicated by the lack of standardized tests, as well as by the fact that in vitro resistance does not correlate with clinical outcome. In case of any suspicion of unsuccessful treatment of genitourinary infection caused by C. trachomatis isolation should be attempted and isolated strains forwarded to a specialized laboratory.Medicinski glasnik 02/2010; 7(1):26-31. · 0.20 Impact Factor

Article: Research of urinary tract infections in family medicine physicians' offices--empiric antimicrobial therapy of urinary tract infections--Croatian experience.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the period between October 1st and November 30th, 2006, we investigated a total of 3188 episodes of UTI (802 among males; 2386 among females) recorded in 108 family medicine offices in 20 cities in Croatia. The most common UTIs in women were acute uncomplicated cystitis (62%), complicated UTIs - cystitis and pyelonephritis (14%), urethritis (9%), acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis (6%), recurrent cystitis (5%), asymptomatic bacteriuria (3%) and recurrent pyelonephritis. The most common UTIs in men were complicated UTIs - cystitis and pyelonephritis (48%), urethritis (25%), prostatitis (24%) and asymptomatic bacteriuria (3%). Etiological diagnosis was made in 999 (31%) UTI episodes before antimicrobial therapy was given. The most frequently isolated causative pathogens were Escherichia coli (77%), Enterococcus faecalis (9%), Proteus mirabilis (5%), Klebsiella spp (3%), Streptococcus agalactiae (3%) and Enterobacter (1%). Antimicrobial drug was administered in 2939 (92.19%) UTI episodes, in 1940 (66.01%) as empirical therapy, and in 999 (34%) as targeted antimicrobial therapy. The most commonly administered drug in empirical therapy for acute uncomplicated cystitis, recurrent cystitis and urethritis in women was cephalexin, for acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis and complicated UTIs in women co-amoxiclav, and for UTIs in males ciprofloxacin. The results of this research of 3188 UTI episodes in family medicine physicians' offices provide a confirmatory answer to question whether empirical antimicrobial therapy of UTI prescribed by Croatian family practitioners is in accordance with the national guidelines.Collegium antropologicum 07/2009; 33(2):625-31. · 0.61 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Here we present two cases, a female and a male patient with Schnitzler-like syndrome. Both patients had two major (monoclonal gammopathy and chronic urticaria) and almost all minor symptoms (e.g. arthralgia, bone pain, fever, etc.) of Schnitzler syndrome. It is considered that interleukine (IL)-1 has important influence on immunopathogenesis of Schnitzler syndrome. However, when looked at the immune response in our two patients, we found significant differences between them. In the sera of the female patient, IL-1beta was increased. However, the highest increase was found for granulocyte- colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), IL-32 alpha and IL-17E (IL-25). The male patient had a significant increase in the percentage of NK-cells, a decrease in CD4+ helper cells and no increase in cytokine levels. In both patients an increase in CD40L (CD154) was found. Our statement is that, besides clinical symptoms and signs, additional immune parameters should be tested before diagnosis of Schnitzler syndrome is established.Clinical and experimental rheumatology 05/2009; 27(3):507-9. · 2.72 Impact Factor
Article: Comparison of Clinical Symptoms Scored According to the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index and Assessment of Antimicrobial Treatment in Patients with Chronic Prostatitis Syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined a total of 194 patients over 18 years of age with chronic prostatitis syndrome and no evidence of structural or functional lower genitourinary tract abnormalities. The following data were obtained for each patient: clinical history--the severity of chronic prostatitis symptoms scored by a Croatian translation of the NiH CPSI questionnaire, clinical status including digitorectal examination, urethral swab specimens, and selective samples of urine and expressed prostatic secretion, according to the 4-glass localization test (meares and Stamey localization technique). Patients were treated orally with antimicrobial agents in doses and duration according to clinical practice in Croatia. An infectious etiology was determined in 169 (87%) patients. Chlamydia trachomatis was the causative pathogen in 38 (20%), Trichomonas vaginalis in 35 (18%), Enterococcus in 36 (19%) and Escherichia coli in 35 (18%) patients. In the remaining 25 patients the following causative pathogens were found: Ureaplasma urealyticum, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Comparison of symptoms scores and effect on quality of life has shown that the most severe clinical presentation of disease was recorded in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis caused by E. coli and Enterococcus (p<0.001). Clinical success was paralleled by bacteriological eradication in chronic bacterial prostatitis caused by C. trachomatis, Enterococcus and E. coli (kappa >0.2<0.5), but not in inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome caused by T. vaginalis.Journal of chemotherapy (Florence, Italy) 04/2009; 21(2):181-7.

Article: The Significance of Chlamydia trachomatis in Urethritis and Prostatitis – Differences in Therapeutic Approach – Croatian Experience[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined a total of 1014 patients over 18 years of age; 252 with urethritis and 762 with chronic prostatitis syndrome. the mean age of patients with urethritis was 32.7 and with prostatitis syndrome 37.6 years. Clinical symptoms of urethritis were present from a few days to several months. in patients with chronic prostatitis syndrome, symptoms were present for at least 3 months. Chlamydia trachomatis alone was confirmed in 26 (10%) and in combination with Ureaplasma urealyticum in 6 (2%) patients with urethritis. in 171 (68%) patients with urethritis neither C. trachomatis nor U. urealyticum or Mycoplasma hominis were found. C. trachomatis alone was confirmed in 70 (9%), and in combination with other microorganisms in 7 (1%) patients with chronic prostatitis syndrome. in Croatia, the frequency of chronic chlamydial prostatitis has not significantly changed in the last 10 years, while the frequency of infections among adolescents decreased. the recommended regimen for acute chlamydial urethritis in Croatia is azithromycin 1.0 g as a single dose, and a total dose of 4-4.5 g azithromycin for chronic chlamydial prostatitis.Journal of chemotherapy (Florence, Italy) 03/2009; 21(1):63-7.

Article: [ISKRA guidelines on antimicrobial treatment and prophylaxis of urinary tract infections--Croatian national guidelines].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: These guidelines refer to diagnosis, antimicrobial treatment and prophylaxis of urinary tract infections in adults and children older than 12 years of age and cover lower urinary tract in females, uncomplicated pyelonephritis, complicated UTI with or without pyelonephritis, asymptomatic bacteriuria and recurrent UTI. These guidelines do not cover sexually transmitted diseases. The guidelines are primarily intended for use by general practitioners and specialists working in primary health care and hospitals. The members of the Working Group for the development of guidelines on antimicrobial treatment and prophylaxis of urinary tract infections were appointed by the Croatian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. The project was financially supported by the Dutch government and professional assistance was provided by international consultants. The evidence for this guidelines is based on a systematic review of the literature, local antibiotic resistance data, the existing clinical protocols on the treatment and prophylaxis of UTIs, as well as suggestions and comments made by colleagues physicians during more than 50 continuous medical education courses held in the last three years on antimicrobial treatment and prophylaxis of UTIs. Draft version of the guidelines was available for comments on the web site http://iskra.bfm.hr and during the two-month piloting period the guidelines were widely presented to general practitioners, specialists working in primary care and hospitals--urologists, gynecologists, infectious disease specialists, nephrologists. The final version of the guidelines was approved by the Intersectoral Coordination Mechanism for the Control of Antimicrobial Resistance (ISKRA) Board.Lijec̆nic̆ki vjesnik 01/2009; 131(5-6):105-18.

Article: The role of Chlamydia trachomatis in prostatitis syndrome--our experience in diagnosis and treatment.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of 1999, over 1500 patients with symptoms of chronic prostatitis were examined at Dr. Fran Mihaljević University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb. In almost all of these patients urethral swabs and quantitative segmented bacteriologic cultures and microscopy of expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) or voided bladder urine3 (VB3) were performed as described by Meares and Stamey. Urethral swabs, EPS or VB3 were examined for the presence of Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis by McCoy culture and Lugol stain or by immunofluorescent typing with monoclonal antibodies. In the majority of patients C. trachomatis was demonstrated in parallel in EPS or VB3 by DNA/RNA hybridization method. Normal white blood cell count viewed per high power field<10 was found in 362 (68%) of 536 patients with symptoms of chronic prostatitis and C. trachomatis detected in EPS or VB3. These findings additionally suggest that C. trachomatis can be suspected as a causative pathogen in all categories of chronic prostatitis syndrome. Furthermore, this paper summarizes the results of five previously published clinical studies on the efficacy and tolerability of various treatment schemes for chronic chlamydial prostatitis, conducted from the beginning of 1999 until the end of 2003.Acta dermatovenerologica Croatica: ADC / Hrvatsko dermatolosko drustvo 01/2007; 15(3):135-40. · 0.43 Impact Factor

"N60" might not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Alzheimer's disease, but thanks to researchers from the United States, South Korea and France, this might change. That's because these researchers have found that the N60 section of a protein called "RanBP9" might be the key that unlocks an entirely new class of Alzheimer's drugs, and with them, hope. In a research report published online in The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org), these scientists describe how the N60 fragment of the RanBP9 protein increases the production of the amyloid beta protein, which is present in excessive amounts in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.
Most experts believe that if the creation of amyloid beta protein can be halted or slowed, the devastating effects of Alzheimer's disease may also be stopped or slowed too. Knowing which portion of the RanBP9 protein to target is particularly important because it gives researchers a more specific focus for developing new Alzheimer's drugs.
According to David Kang, assistant professor of neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and one of the researchers involved in the work, "Our study suggests that targeting RanBP9 expression and/or N60 fragment generation may lead to novel strategies to combat this devastating disease."
To make this discovery, Kang and colleagues examined extracts from brains with Alzheimer's disease and age-matched healthy controls and found that the N60 section of RanBP9 was increased in Alzheimer's brain. When control DNA, full-length RanBP9 DNA, and RanBP9-N60 DNA were individually expressed in cultured cells, they found that cells expressing the full length RanBP9 protein had an increased amount of the amyloid beta protein that was 3-fold over control, and cells expressing the RanBP9 protein and N60 section had an increased amount of the amyloid beta protein that was 5-fold over control.
