Originally written for Superfluous Rex, 14/04/14
(and, as of December 2015, I've actually seen one Star Wars film! ;))
(and, as of December 2015, I've actually seen one Star Wars film! ;))
Look at this candid shot of Mr. Superfluous and some of his friends.
That big guy in the background is a cosplayer, and I see we have a Pokemon fan, a gamer, and a Legend of Zelda fan...
Or do we?
Clearly that girl in the Zelda top is a fake! She just uses her apparent love of geeky stuff to get attention, you know... she wouldn't even be able to tell you anything about Majora's Mask!
Oh, and I bet the stegosaurus dude only plays one sort of game and rejects others. He hurls abuse at other players online, too. What a meathead!
As for the so-called Doctor Who "fan"...his favourite Doctor is Tom Baker and he won't even watch any episodes starring the newer Doctors. Such a hipster!
Don't even get me started on the raptor chick. She only collects Pokemon plushies because...they're...CUTE!
...wait, wait, wait. No! This isn't what Superfluous Rex is all about!
It's about being friendly and supportive... and just having fun with our preferred interests and subcultures!
Why all the sudden hate?
I bet it's all her fault.
Sadly, this is the kind of thing I see online way too often, and it's becoming more and more noticeable in real life, too.
Our submission guidelines here at Superfluous Rex do try and state that we want to shy away from obvious 'fandom' words (to namedrop a few: brony, Gleek, Whovian etc), because that can often breed unwarranted hate or stir up some less-than-positive ideas.
But, the general theme of Superfluous Rex is "geek culture" in that the word geek (as beautifully described by our very own Lucy) pretty much means "somebody who is into something". That's it, really. It doesn't have anything to do with the way somebody looks, or somebody's weight or gender or sexual preference.
It's just a word.
This is the kind of thing you'll see if you Google said word.
Yet, for some reason, so much hate exists around the idea of "geek".
I've seen fans from x attack fans from y, or some people insulting other "subcultures" such as 'preps' or 'chavs' or whatever just because they're not into the same things.
Then they claim they're being bullied because these 'chavs' pick on them for liking, say, trading cards instead of playing sports.
It goes both ways.
If somebody chooses to spend their time watching a football match, or working out at a gym, or getting their hair & nails done - that's their choice.
As long as nobody's harming anyone, then I say people can like whatever the hell they like!
Now, this is painful for me to admit, but I used to be like this too.
I never bullied anybody. I never called on anybody for not liking the same things I did. But I certainly did shy away from people if they weren't into the same things as me, which was pretty dumb, as I ended up quite lonely in my younger years!
As I got older, those things became less important. I know people now from various walks of life who are all into lots of different things.
If I'm not into something they are, I tell them, sure, but it's like this: "I don't like Harry Potter, sorry, but I'm glad you do!" or something around those lines.
Woah, I know what you're* thinking. I don't like Harry Potter? How is that possible?
I did try to read the books, and I wasn't keen. Not really my thing.
But kudos to all the fans out there who do like it, because I can see it's a fandom full of creative and, on the whole, really awesome people!
I can also appreciate that the books are well-written, and the universe of Harry Potter is vast and I can certainly understand why people do fall in love with it!
So that's great. But really, do I deserve to be attacked because I'm not into it?
Then there's Star Wars. That seems to be the other one which warrants a lot of hate my way.
I've never seen Star Wars.
I don't have any burning desire to watch the films, though I can admire the amount of thought that has gone into creating such a rich sci-fi universe. I probably will watch them, at some point, but right now: I'm a Star Wars virgin.
I googled that term and ended up with this beauty!
Is there anything really bad about me not seeing Star Wars?I've also not learned yet how to play the violin, nor can I do any sort of martial art. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but while we're talking...
There isn't. I know this, but honestly, you would not believe the amount of hate I've gotten just from telling people I haven't watched them!
I've actually been pushed over at a bar because of this. Seriously.
And the amount of times I've had "GET OUT! JUST LEAVE! GET OUT!" yelled at me because of my abhorrent confession...too many times to count.
Does this make me hate Star Wars? Does it make me hate Star Wars fans?Actually, no. It really doesn't.
It makes me question why somebody would get so colourful and angry about something, definitely, but I don't hate them.
(While I'm confessing, I've also not yet played any Zelda games, and hilariously, I wrote "Midora's Mask" up there originally when discussing our blue parasaurolophus girl. Oops.
But in the spirit of honesty...!)
The last thing I'll share about my own personal experiences with this topic:
I was at my local comic book store, browsing the My Little Pony section. There were a group of people behind me, and one of them muttered "I bet she's never even seen the show..." behind me, "Bet she just likes the cute little stickers!"(To make this more accurate: "cute widdle dickers" was how he pronounced it...)
I didn't say anything, though I kind of regret this now, but I did think about how My Little Pony was one of my favourite things ever when I was a little girl, and wondered if the guy who insulted me for "not really liking it" actually watched it when he was a kid, or if he gave into the gender-based bullying that was inevitable back in the 90s when a boy liked a "girl's" cartoon.
I don't want to think like that. I want everybody to enjoy what they enjoy, and for me to enjoy what I enjoy, without having to think about it too much!
Sundance doesn't approve of all the hate!
Speaking of the whole "boy stuff vs girl stuff"... that isn't right either.
So much emphasis is put on gender when it comes to these things, and it's really silly.
Yes, a girl can love comic books and first-person shooter games. That doesn't mean she's faking it for attention or likes comics because they're "in fashion" now.
Yes, a boy can love cute cartoons and dolls. It doesn't mean the guy is "gay" or any less of a man for liking what he's into. If anything, props to him for being man enough to admit to liking something that isn't 'expected' of him. Oh! And gay isn't an insult. It's never an insult. Stop it.
(Also...no, gender isn't as black and white as this post is making out.)
One thing I see a lot is "gamer girls" and how 'fake' they are.
You want to know how to spot a fake gamer girl?
Well, she's not the one who only plays 'cute' games like Animal Crossing or Sonic. She's not the one who is 'terrible' at Street Fighter. She's not the one who only plays Call of Duty and rejects any other game.
A fake gamer girl is...wait. Maybe this term is flawed...
Because if a girl plays a game, then I guess she's a "gamer girl", isn't she?
I'm not fond of the term myself. As I stated above, I think labels can often conjure up unwanted ideas and arguments, but I do see where they're important to some.
Furthermore, this is, in my opinion, the biggest argument against singling somebody out or judging based upon what they're into:
If somebody gets into something you like, isn't that a good thing?
So what if the person in the Superman shirt has only seen Man of Steel? They liked it enough to buy a shirt and I bet they wear that shirt proudly!
Maybe Man of Steel is a gateway for them into other Superman stuff. They might end up watching all the Christopher Reeve films, and reading a bunch of the older comics.
Or, they might decide that they aren't really into Superman, but they thought Man of Steel was a great movie.Does it really matter either way?
Live and let live, and all that.
So, back to our dinosaurs.
Maybe the prejudices I put upon them up there are true, and maybe they're not.
But they look like a happy bunch, don't they? So, let's leave them to it.
I'll just remind everybody of this:
We post about comics, games, sci-fi, pop culture, tv shows, and we do so in a positive manner. We're not here to make anybody feel alienated for liking the things they do, we're just here to share the joy, love and enthusiasm!We shy away from the somewhat arrogant ideals of snarkiness or sarcasm that you might find on similar blogs because we don't want our readers to feel bad about the things they enjoy.
There's enough hate and drama in this world already, and Superfluous Rex is a safe, happy place away from all of that.
We want to celebrate things and build them up instead of smashing them down.
(Kind of unexpected from a dinosaur, right?)
Thank you. :)

You can guess what All Free MP3 Cutter does from its name: it's a tool to cut MP3 files into smaller pieces. This handy tool allows extracting segments from audio files (the process also known as cutting, trimming, or even splitting) in a simple manner, as it allows you to make use of a visual representation for the waveform of the playback of the loaded sound files.
One of the biggest advantages of Fast MP3 Cutter Joiner is that it has batch processing capabilities. This means that it can split or join multiple files at the same, while you conveniently focus on other tasks. Another thing that I really liked about Fast MP3 Cutter Joiner is that it provides a large number of advanced settings.
HiFi MP3 Cutter supports cut MP3 to WAV, MP3 and OGG files. With HiFi MP3 Cutter, you can cut piece from a big audio file and then convert it to a MP3 or WAV or MP3 or OGG file.

HiFi MP3 Cutter is a real time encoding/decoding, no disk space will be used when cutting audio files.
Long audio mixes usually include some parts that I don't really like and that can ruin the entire listening experience. MP3 cutter offers a simple solution for this problem by helping its users extract the song fragments they want to keep. This program comes with only one purpose in mind and that's to cut your favorite sections from an audio file without damaging its sound quality.
This is an MP3 song editor with simple editing commands. Delete Selected option deletes selected part from the mp3 document. Delete Unselected deletes unselected part from the mp3 document. Change Volume lets you chang audio volume by specifying a percentage value. Maximize Volume increases volume as high as possible without distortion.
Everybody loves multipurpose tools that embed multiple functions into one single interface. A great example of such tool is Free MP3 Cutter Joiner. It is capable of both splitting audio files into smaller pieces and merging together multiple tracks into single, new, larger ones.
Power MP3 Cutter Joiner not only splits and joins easily your MP3, WAV, OGG, and WMA audio files, but also works as an efficient converter. By allowing you to select any of the four formats supported as the output format, you can keep the length of the file intact and save it using a different codec. It allows you to pre-listen to the fragment you want to cut, or to the whole file.
Easy Mp3 Cutter is a friendly interface tool, specially created for splitting a variety of audio files such as MP3, WAV, WMA, CUE. To use it, you don't have to be experienced in working with editors. Its interface helps you acknowledge by yourself what you have to do in order to split or convert your favorite songs or any other audio file.
MP3 Cutter Plus is a fast and free MP3 splitter to easily select and save fragments of your MP3 files without any re-encoding, preserving the original quality and bit rate of the source file. Its straightforward functionality allows any user to easily open a file, select the starting and end cutting points, and save the selection in their system.
iovSoft MP3 Cutter Joiner can perform two tasks: split and join MP3 files. Besides MP3 files, it also supports some other common audio formats (but not too many though): WAV, WMA and OGG. The interface is simple, the processing speed is more than satisfactory, and the output is flawless.
MP3 Cutter Joiner Free is a simple MP3 editing tool developed by TechTouch. The application offers a quick and simple solution to edit audio files of different formats. It supports MP3, WAV, OGG, and WMA files. It is designed for Windows operating systems, and has a file size of less than one megabyte.
X-Wave MP3 Cutter Joiner is a program that will allow you either to cut audio tracks in smaller sections or to join them. This program will be especially useful for those who often need to extract fragments from long audio tracks, radio or TV programs, audio books, and many other sources.
Lossless MP3 Cutter Joiner is not the average MP3 slicing/merging tool. There are two reasons why this utility stands out from the rest of MP3 cutters – first, it will not re-encode your audio when cutting or joining MP3 files thus preserving the original audio quality; and second, it provides a level of accuracy that makes similar tools pale in comparison.

Health & Safety:
Though it's a small city, Madison is a city nonetheless and there is crime. Try not to walk alone at night because the environment, especially on weekends where lots of visitors/ non-students are around, can feel unsafe at times. Be smart, be safe.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Location plays a large role in how students perceive safety at UW. Certain areas are a little less safe than others are, and students try to steer away from these. In general, students feel safe walking around campus, State Street, and near the dorms. Madison police along with Campus Police further ensure the safety by patrolling the campus and its surrounding areas. Furthermore, the more extreme crimes and incidents seem to take place farther from campus, and don't usually involve students.
Madison in general is a pretty safe city. Statistically, most criminal offenses fall into the larceny and theft category. Furthermore, the city generally falls under the national numbers for crime rates. Even so, common sense must be used when it comes to safety and security issues. UW offers numerous safety programs to assist individuals in certain situations. For example, students can call a free cab service to safely bring them home, or request an escort to walk them to their cars at night. The campus also has lit pathways throughout campus and emergency phones near the academic buildings.

They are a bit far apart for 7 days. You may hit both on a 10 or 14 day "exotic caribbean" and you have to look hard to find it as St Lucia is a popular stop (for South Caribbean crusies, usually out of San Juan, meaning expensive air fare) but Roatan is not a popular stop for the mass market lines, at least until now.
Princess is doing a 7 day western Caribbean 09 with a stop at Roatan. It's a new stop for them, replacing Ocho Rios.
All cruise lines have buffets, most are almost 24/7.
History, culture and exological adventures should not be hard to find. Planning the trip is half the fun. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. We will probably only be able to swing a 7 day trip.

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
Publishing | Zainab Akhtar looks at the success of Koyama Press and how it changed the comics small press world as a whole. She starts with the amazing origin story: Founder Annie Koyama nearly died from a brain aneurysm, and while she was recovering she played the stock market so successfully that she was able to quit her job and launch Koyama Press. For six years she provided funding for artists without taking anything for herself, and she also searched for and promoted emerging artists. "On an immediate level, Annie's generous yet meritocratic approach validated the work of artists who were otherwise written off by the established alternative comics community, which often views this new generation of cartoonists working primarily online as somehow less legitimate," Akhtar writes. "On a broader scale, her commitment to taking risks on emerging artists reflected an ongoing paradigm shift affecting the way alternative comics are produced and consumed." [The Fader]
Courtesy of Koyama Press, we're pleased to bring you a preview of Mighty Star and the Castle of the Cancatervater by A. Degen, part of the publisher's spring lineup. Collecting the webcomic that appeared on the Study Group website, the mostly silent graphic novel puts a surreal spin on the superhero tale.
Check out a preview and additional details below, and look for it in April.
Later this year, Koyama Press will publish Confetti, a collection of the comics, paintings, sculptures and more from Toronto-based artist Ginette Lapalme. According to the publisher, "Lapalme uses cartoons and junk culture as raw material to make 'cute' subversive and 'pretty' punk."
Check out the preview below, and look for the collection in May. Our thanks to Koyama for all the previews it provided for our anniversary celebration.
Dustin Harbin has been a ROBOT 6 favorite for a while, so we're pleased to share some pages from his upcoming Diary Comics collection. Due from Koyama Press in May, the collection features Harbin's documentation of "the ups and downs and sideways of his life in comic form."
Check out the preview below.
"Imagine The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as pot-smoking punks."
Courtesy of Koyama Press, we're pleased to offer a look at Blobby Boys 2, the follow-up to Alex Schubert's award-winning comic. Schubert's bold, machine-precise images, tell the story of a band of "salacious and slimy Saturday Morning cast-offs," and the wannabe keyboardist/fan who wants to join them.
Check out the preview and more information below. Blobby Boys 2 arrives in May.
Creators | Osamu Tezuka, the "godfather of manga," has been dead for 25 years, but his influence lives on, not just in manga and anime but in his old neighborhood, where a restaurant features his favorite dish and merchants have their own local currency, Astro Money. There's even a group of inventors who were inspired by Astro Boy to design a "power-assisted hand." [The Yomiuri Shimbun]
Creators | Ivan Brunetti tried to draw Nancy and failed, but he learned how to be a cartoonist in the process: "Nancy is a harsh taskmaster; resuscitating it was a grueling task, but the challenge was invigorating and edifying. By drawing Nancy, I realized that every character (even the environment) in a strip is the cartoonist and is invested and imbued with the cartoonist's life force. This is perhaps why continuing a strip after a creator's death is so misguided, and it also explains the precious few exceptions that prove the rule: those cartoonists made the preexisting characters truly their own, commandeering their ink-on-paper souls." [BoingBoing]
The small publisher Koyama Press announced yesterday that they are making a selection of their works available digitally via the Sequential app, which is an iOS-only app that focuses on indy comics and graphic novels.
The initial lineup seems to all be older books, or at least, there don't appear to be any from this year, but there are some solid titles here from well-regarded creators: Julia Wertz's The Infinite Wait, Nathan Bulmer's Eat More Bikes, Julie Delporte's Journal. And this is just the start—more titles are on the way.
The books are on sale this weekend for half off the print price, so this is a good opportunity to check out some comics you may have missed—especially as some of them are out of print.
Passings | Customers and family mourn the passing of Steve Koch, longtime owner of Comic Headquarters in St. Louis, who died Aug. 31 of a suspected heart attack. He was 55. "He knew the true value of a comic book was in the story and the art, not as it being a collectible," said his wife Carla, whom he introduced to comics with a copy of X-Men #1. Koch's customers praised him for running a store that was welcoming to everyone, no matter what their tastes; some have been shopping there since they were children. [Riverfront Times]
Crime | Police in Lexington, Kentucky, believe the man who robbed a local comics and hobby shop D20 Hobbies late last month is also behind three other robberies. In all cases, the robber wore a clown mask and indicated he had a weapon but didn't show one. D20 owner James Risner was puzzled at first as to why anyone would rob a comic shop, but he speculates the thief didn't realize his business had taken over from the previous tenant of the site, a Quick Cash store. "I guess he figured we had a lot of money," Risner said. "Thankfully we didn't have that much." [Lex18.com]
It is fair to say a newlywed couple experiences a honeymoon like no other, on myriad life-changing levels, in writer/artist Jesse Jacobs' new Koyama Press book Safari Honeymoon — and jungle madness is only the beginning of what transpires. Jacobs' art belies any description that accurately conveys the complexity and intoxicating absurdity of his work.
In this interview, I gain insight into his creative approach, among other areas of interest.
Legal | Attorney Tom Goldstein, co-founder of the respected SCOTUSblog, has joined with Marc Toberoff to represent the heirs of Jack Kirby in their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court of the Second Circuit's affirmation that the artist's contributions to Marvel between 1958 and 1963 were work for hire and therefore not subject to copyright termination. In a response filed this week to Marvel's brief urging the high court to decline review, Goldstein and Toberoff again challenge the Second Circuit's "instance and expense" test and its definition of "employer," and argue, "Many of our most celebrated literary and musical works were created before 1978 and signed away to publishers in un-remunerative transactions. Termination rights were 'needed because of the unequal bargaining position of authors.' It would be hard to find a better example of this than the prolific Jack Kirby, who worked in his basement with no contract, no financial security and no employment benefits, but without whom Marvel might not even be in business today." [Hollyqood, Esq.]
Retailing | Memo to politicians: You don't win friends and influence people by taking up five spots in a comic store's parking lot with your campaign bus on a Wednesday — especially when it's Batman Day. [The Clarion-Ledger]
We're a little more than halfway through the year, which makes it the perfect time to pause and separate the truly exemplary comics from the merely mediocre.
Below are six of my favorite comics of the year thus far. Many of them will likely make their way into my final "best of 2014″ list come December, but I reserve the right to completely change my mind between now and then.
In any case, let me know what comics you've enjoyed reading thus far (or how crazy I am for forgetting Graphic Novel X) in the comments section.
Publishing | John Jackson Miller mines the circulation statements provided once a year to put together a 54-year sales history of Archie Comics' flagship title Archie (the publisher is one of the few that still prints annual statements of ownership, allowing the numbers to be traced back, unbroken, to 1960). As he points out, Archie was a big newsstand title, selling almost 600,000 copies in the late 1960s, but it didn't fare well when comics moved to the direct market — although Archie Comics has done well nonetheless with its digests, which far outsell its single-issue comics. [Comichron]
Publishing | Annie Koyama of Koyama Press talks with Dan Berry about how comics publishing works, and how she got into the field. [Make It Then Tell Everybody]
Manga | While at the Angouleme International Comics Festival, I had a chance to study the French manga market and talk to some of the publishers. Manga represents more than one-third of the French comics market (last year, there were more new manga releases than BDs), and sales and production dipped for the first time last year. [Publishers Weekly]
Comics | Gary Cox rounds up reactions from refugees to the Australian government's online comic that warns them not to try to enter the country without a visa. "The people who are coming here are not economic migrants, they're coming to have a safer, peaceful life here," says Ibrar Hassani. And an advocate for refugees pointed out that the images of refugees suffering in detention centers were evidence that the government is deliberately mistreating them. [SBS]
Koyama Press' latest announcement arrived in my in-box while I was on my way home from Angoulême, so I'm just now getting around to it, but it's impressive enough to merit a bit of belated blogging.
As Koyama Press is a small publisher, the list is short: six titles all together, four for adults and two for kids. But there's some interesting range to it, and the books are packaged attractively and displayed in a way that makes you want to read each one for different reasons, which isn't necessarily the case if you're just looking at a stack of random art-comix. One thing I really enjoyed, as I was reading through their catalog descriptions, was their use of high-concept blurbs. "Richard Scarry and Rube Goldberg collide in John Martz's whimsical comic book world." Bring it on!
While children's comics may seem like a stretch, it's one of the fastest growing sectors of the comics market, and one can see a niche for books that appeal to children and adults on different levels (such as Luke Pearson's Hilda books, published by Nobrow Press) and for children's books that are far off the commercial beaten track. The challenge will be to get them in front of parents and children who aren't regular readers of The Comics Journal. It will be interesting to see if librarians climb on board; that could be a game-changer.
Anyway, here's the list:
It happens every year: Despite the best efforts of authors, publishers and publicists, there are smart, funny and downright entertaining comics that fail to get their proper due. It's a truth made more manifest every year as production and publishing costs are lowered and more and more people find ways of getting their work on print or online.
So once again I've put together a list of some books I thought could have used a bit more love, at least in terms of coverage if not also sales (though usually it's both). These aren't necessarily the best books of the past year – I'm not sure I'd swap any of them out for my own top 10 list – they're just really good comics that didn't seem to get enough attention. Let me know what you'd add to the list in the comments section below.

Myocardial Infarction Treatment
Myocardial infarction is a major cardiac emergency. Currently myocardial infarction is well standardized in terms of therapeutic means.
Prehospital Care
It starts with pain treatment, and anti-ischemic treatment:
- Nitroglycerin (given sublingually, spray or intravenously)
- Aspirin in all patients (160-325 mg)
- Oxygen if the patient is hypoxic
- Atropine in case of sinus bradycardia (decreased heart rate below 60 beats per minute in adults and less than 80 beats per minute in children) and / or hypotension
- Cardio-respiratory resuscitation
- Procainamide should not be administred for ventricular extrasystoles prevention.
During prehospital care, thrombolysis is possible, given the existence of mobile coronary unit. Its benefits are increased reperfusion, reduced mortality, decreased size of infarction zone area. The first 60 minutes elapsed the from stroke onset are considered "the golden hour" of reperfusion (resumption of circulation to the infarction zone). The agents used are Streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator, Urokinase.
Emergency room
Emergency treatment consists of morphine, oxygen (flow rate of 2 l / min), 325 mg Aspirin (unless it was given), and nitroglycerin (sublingual or perfusion).
If the patient shows no signs of haemodynamic deterioration and bradycardia, beta blockers are intravenously administered (metoprolol, atenolol).
Coronary Care Unit
- Aspirin in doses of 160-325mg / day
- Further fighting pain using common analgesics (metamizole sodium, vials 1g), opioid analgesics (morphine 20mg/1ml vials) in doses of 4-8mg intravenously, 5-15 mg at 2-8 minutes until the pain disappeares.
Beneficial effects of morfine : intense analgesic effect, reduces sympathetic tone, increase vagal tone, reduces anxiety, produces vasodilation.
Morphine contraindications: hypotension, bradycardia, inferior myocardial infarction, right ventricular infarction.Morphine side effects: hypotension, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting.
- Oxygen therapy: 2-4 liters / minute, under the mask or nasal tube for 6-12 hours in patients with moderate hypoxemia. It is not indicated if the oxygen saturation is normal, because it can increase the peripheral vascular resistance.
- Nitrates and beta blockers can relieve pain through their coronary and anti-ischemic effect.
Cardioprotection by restoring coronary blood flow.
Cardioprotective measures include all pharmacological measures, especially thrombolysis, and non-pharmacological measures that aim for myocardial reperfusion. Myocardial reperfusion by thrombolysis is the most important measure that reduces mortality, improves ventricular function and limitates the infarct size . This measure will be continued in the coronary artery unit as early restoration of coronary blood flow (1-2 hours after onset), reduces the size of necrotic myocardium.
- Thrombolysis medication. Can be administed directly in the coronay arteries (only when coronary thrombosis occurs during an angiographic procedure) or intravenously. Streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator are used.
A possible evolution of coronary thrombolysisis is reocclusion of the coronary artery (approximately 10% of cases). To reduce the risk, antiplatelet therapy is required (aspirin, clopidogrel), and antithrombotic agents (low molecular weight heparin). Antiplatelet therapy increases the success rate of reperfusion, prevents intraventricular thrombus formation, prevents deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
The most important complication of thrombolytic therapy is bleeding (cerebral, digestive, etc.)
Absolute contraindications of thrombolysis: Stroke (any time in history), ischemic stroke, brain neoplasm, active internal bleeding, suspected aortic dissection.
- Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA procedure) is another important method of thrombolysis and reperfusion.
- Bypass surgery, is indicated in the following situations associated with myocardial infarction: PTCA procedure failure (with persistent pain or hemodynamic instability), PTCA risk procedure due to the coronary anatomy (left common trunk stenosis), coronary occlusion occurred after catheterization, cardiogenic shock.
Cardioprotection by decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption.
- Beta-blockers. Early treatment with beta blockers is associated with reduced mortality and reduced cardiac arrest risk by 15%. Their administration reduces heart rate and blood pressure decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption through these mechanisms. Beta-blockers indications: recurrent or persistent pain, ischemic tachyarrhythmias (atrial fibrillation with fast heart rate), myocardial infarction with or without ST-segment elevation, actually all patients without contraindications.
Beta-blockers contraindications: hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg), bradycardia (heart rate <50 beats per minute), heart blocks.
- Nitrates. Nitroglycerin can be used in the first 24-48 hours in patients with acute myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure, persistent ischemia, hypertension. After 48 hours, will be administered to patients with recurrent angina, or pulmonary stasis. It is administrated intravenously , blood pressure monitoring is mandatory.
Nitroglycerin contraindications: hypotension, myocardial infarction of right ventricle.
- Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have beneficial effects as it prevents ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction, decrease the rate of occurrence of heart failure, reduce the risk of recurrence of myocardial infarction and reduce mortality. Are indicated in all patients with acute myocardial infarction, especially those with heart failure, diabetes mellitus, hypertension.
Contraindications: hypotension, pregnancy, renal insufficiency (creatinine> 3mg%)
- Calcium channel blockers. At the onset of myocardial infarction are not recommended, nifedipine increases mortality risk. It suddenly lowers blood pressure, followed by reduction of the coronary blood flow and tachycardia, with increased imbalance between intake and myocardial oxygen demand.
Verapamil and diltiazem can be used, but with caution (due to the negative inotropic effect) in patients in whom beta blockers are ineffective or contraindicated (asthma patients) and for heart rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation.
- Magnesium. Can be administered in case of a demonstrated magnesium deficiency , in episodes of torsades de pointes with QT interval prolongation, in doses of 1-2g IV, magnesium sulfate (10 ml vials, 20%), bolus for 5 minutes.
Nonspecific Measures
Physical and emotional rest. In uncomplicated myocardial infarction, absolute bed rest will not exceed 12 hours, a gradual resumption of physical activity is recommended, which takes into account age, physical capacity and condition. The first two days help from another person is recommended, including when washing and feeding. The following days the patient can wash his face on his own, can go to the toilet, and movement is allowed but only supervised, inside and outside the chamber (20-200 meters). After 5 to 7 days walking (200m), three times a day, climbing stairs are allowed, under supervision, and exercise testing before hospital discharge.
- Diet: light regime, hypo-caloric, salt restriction, foods rich in potassium
- Mild laxatives will be administered if needed, .
- Correction of anemia with packed red blood cells transfusions
- Treatment of infections
- Monitoring and keeping the blood pressure within normal values.

All Creatures complaint gets refiled
Published: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 at 9:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 at 9:16 p.m.
The state's effort to close All Creatures Great and Small is still alive.
The state Department of Agriculture and Department of Justice re-filed a complaint late Tuesday afternoon in District Court against All Creatures Great and Small.
The original court proceeding that could have led to the shutdown of the animal shelter was dismissed earlier Tuesday afternoon when Superior Court Judge Dennis Winner ruled he had no jurisdiction under state law to hear the request.
The state is seeking to shut down the animal shelter and take custody of about 700 dogs and cats. The state said the shelter had failed numerous health and safety inspections.
On Wednesday, attorneys with the state and All Creatures refused to comment on the case.
"The animal welfare complaint was filed in District Court late yesterday," Brian Long, public affairs spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, said Wednesday.
As of Wednesday, no date for the hearing was scheduled, Long said.
The state is alleging that animals are suffering at the shelter, not given adequate care, and some cats and dogs died because of the inadequate care and a substandard facility.
Staff and board members of the nonprofit shelter, along with other residents, vehemently deny the state's allegations.
The original complaint filed in Superior Court requested the judge order dissolution of All Creatures Great and Small as a corporation.
It was unclear Wednesday if this part of the original complaint remained in Superior Court or if it will be re-filed. This action was not part of the complaint filed in District Court late Tuesday. Attorneys would not comment on the dissolution of the corporation.
Also Tuesday, the N.C. Secretary of State revoked the shelter's charitable solicitations license because the agency failed to report a cease and desist order from the N.C. Department of Agriculture from 2004. Without the license, no one affiliated with the shelter can solicit donations or conduct fundraisers.
The Department of State issued a $1,000 fine against All Creatures for "knowingly filing false or misleading information" in the application for the license. The nonprofit has the right to appeal the decision within 60 days. The order does not prevent the nonprofit from accepting unsolicited donations.
In 2004, the state ordered the shelter to stop taking animals. The case was appealed and the state and representatives of the shelter entered mediation.
In an earlier agreement with the city of Hendersonville, the board of All Creatures agreed to vacate the premises by March 2008. City attorney Sam Fritschner attended the hearing Tuesday but would not comment on the case.

Seven-time Pro Bowl tailback Marshall Faulk, the ninth-leading rusher in NFL history and a future Hall of Fame member, will undergo knee surgery next week that will sideline him for the 2006 season and possibly end his career.
The surgery, confirmed Friday by Rams first-year coach Scott Linehan, will be an extensive reconstructive procedure and will probably require eight to 12 months of rehabilitation. It was earlier believed that Faulk was considering less-invasive arthroscopic surgery. At age 33 and facing a daunting rehabilitation regimen, Faulk could retire instead of trying to resume his career in 2007.
"We were hoping for the best, but we've been planning for both
scenarios," said Linehan. "I
think reality is setting in for sure that potentially his career is
winding down."
Agent Rocky Arceneaux reiterated to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch earlier this week that Faulk would probably require further surgery to address persistent swelling in his knee, and Rams officials acknowledged Friday that it is their understanding the 12-year veteran will proceed with the operation. One club official and one coach told ESPN.com that Arceneaux's remarks are consistent with what they know about Faulk's physical status.
Faulk is now approaching double-digit surgeries on his knees. He had arthroscopic surgery on both knees this offseason and one has not responded well to his rehabilitative efforts. Even some Rams officials aren't certain yet which knee will be addressed with next week's pending procedure. Nor are they certain yet of how the team will treat Faulk's case.
"It's still TBD, to be determined, right now," said one club official Friday morning. "The guy has been a great player here, and you want to treat this with some [sensitivity]."
The most likely scenario is that St. Louis will place Faulk on injured reserve, which, by definition, would end his 2006 season. Such a move would cost the Rams $2 million and would prompt speculation that he will not return to the playing field.
St. Louis also has the option of waiving Faulk injured, but the Rams don't seem inclined to do so, just for the purpose of potentially saving some money on his contract.
There have been reports that Faulk will sit out this season, do some broadcasting work and then re-assess his physical status next spring. But Arceneaux, who has not returned messages, conceded this week that Faulk's knee has swelled after even modest workouts, and that could signal the end of his career.
As a contingency against the possibility that Faulk might retire or that his knees might finally be beyond repair, the Rams earlier this spring signed former Green Bay backup Tony Fisher to bolster the depth chart behind starting tailback Steven Jackson. But Fisher has principally been a third-down back for much of his four-year career and has never logged more than 70 rushes in a season. As a result, the Rams have begun to seek other alternatives at tailback.
St. Louis is one of several teams that has contacted New Orleans about reserve tailback Michael Bennett and is exploring other possibilities as well.
In his second season as the starter, Jackson, the Rams' first-round choice in the 2004 draft, is expected to shoulder an even more ambitious workload as first-year coach Scott Linehan re-emphasizes the running game. But even if Jackson gets 20 carries a game, as he hopes, the Rams will still need a solid backup to spell him at times.
"You can't just play one running back and expect him to survive
the season," Linehan said.
Faulk is coming off a 2005 season in which he carried only 65 times for 292 yards and caught 44 passes for 291 yards. His rushing yards, receiving yards and all-purpose yards were the lowest of his career. Beset by the recurring knee problems, Faulk has not posted a 1,000-yard rushing season since 2001.
The former San Diego State star, who entered the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts as a first-round pick in the 1994 draft, has 19,190 all-purpose yards, the sixth-most in league history. He was chosen the NFL's most valuable player in 2000.

My husband & I have stayed at the St. Regis in Rome twice together, & he once by himself on business in December.
This hotel is world class 5 star from the accommodations, spa, food, and most of all the service. We experienced the warm delightful welcome of the reception area each time & the concierge after check in & during our whole stay. Guest services was also very accommodating, friendly & always there to assist. The bar service in the lounge was friendly & made great suggestions not only to us but other guests that were enjoying the beauty of the area. Food is wonderful, breakfast buffet is very good. Lots of choices for European's & North American's alike. Room service is quick, hot & served with a smile. Rooms are very comfortable, beds are amazing (so much that one doesn't want to get out). Bellman & doorman are attentive & right on the spot to ensure transportation is only steps away. A special thanks to the concierge staff. While on route from Canada my first stay at the hotel I arrived a day & a half late due to weather delays...minus one of my checked bags. The concierge were fabulous & followed up on my bag with the airline & kept me updated all the time. Delivery was immediate to my room upon its arrival...a day & a half late, but no fault of the hotel, only the airline.
The hotel itself is magical. Immaculately kept, beautiful, grand & all the things one thinks of when you dream of Roma. Both staff & management ensure everyone is treated like a king & queen.
The St. Regis will be our home away from home from now on as we return to Roma for business & pleasure.
