Father killed in 401 crash
By Sarah FRALEY, Free Press Reporter and Canadian Press
Napanee -- A London family's summer vacation ended tragically
yesterday when the sailboat they were towing landed on their
car after a crash on Highway 401.
Police say the driver, Gregory
BRINE, 41, died in the midday
crash that closed a busy stretch of the 401 east of Napanee for
The man's wife and three children -- boys aged four and eight,
and a girl, 10 -- were treated for minor injuries and released
from hospital in Napanee, west of Ottawa.
"We're speculating the boat was too large for the car pulling
it and that might have been a factor," Napanee Ontario Provincial
WANAMAKER said last night.
She said
BRINE's wife told her "we've just finished a vacation."
witnesses: say
BRINE lost control of his westbound station wagon
after the trailer carrying the seven-metre sailboat started to
The car hit the gravel shoulder, rolled across the highway and
struck a concrete median, with the boat landing on top of the
upside-down vehicle.
A trucker who saw the crash stopped and pulled out the three
children through the car's back window, said
The mother, 42, freed herself from the car, police said.
Firefighters extracted
BRINE from the vehicle, but he was pronounced
dead at the scene.
The 401's west lanes near the crash were closed for several hours
while police waited for a crane from Kingston to remove the boat.
The BRINE family lives at 566 Ambleside Dr. in the city's northwest.
Neighbours last night seemed to know little about the crash.

Richard LEITERMAN,
Cinematographer: (1935-2005)
In 1969, the pioneer of cinéma vérité was among the first to
use a technique that today's television viewers know as reality
By Allison
Special to The Globe and Mail; Globe and Mail
archives, Tuesday, September 27, 2005, Page S11
The cinematographer Richard
LEITERMAN -- best known for his work
in such films as Goin' Down the Road and A Married Couple --
was told by a teacher early in his career that he might have
been born holding a camera.
Mr. LEITERMAN first picked up a camera because his then brother-in-law,
filmmaker Allan
KING, was making documentaries. Working in film
seemed a lot more fun to Mr.
LEITERMAN than the assortment of
odd jobs -- from a forklift operator to a dish washer -- he had
done for money since dropping out of university. He asked Mr.
KING if he could get a job hauling gear around, but was told
to learn how to use a camera instead. Later on, he referred to
Mr. KING as his mentor and as someone who "took me in when I
was very, very green."
As a pioneer in cinéma vérité filmmaking, Mr.
LEITERMAN's work
with Mr. KING created some landmark, low-budget documentaries,
including A Married Couple (1969), a raw and at times disturbing
look inside the strained marriage of an ordinary Toronto couple.
"He had a great relationship not only with people but with machines,"
said filmmaker Don
SHEBIB, whose first feature film was Goin'
Down the Road, a 1970 low-budget movie about Maritimers down
and out in Toronto which has become a Canadian classic. "The
machine was so close to him. I don't have the same relationship
with the camera as he did. He played it like a violin and always
By the end of his career, his work had become a barometer against
which the development of Canadian film Could be measured. In
their 1978 book, Richard Leiterman, Alison Reid and P.M. Evanchuk
wrote that his career "has been so closely involved with the
mainstream of Canadian filmmaking that his work is practically
illustrative of its trends, its tendency towards fiction film
with a solid base in the documentary tradition."
Born near a small mining community near Timmins, Ontario, Mr.
LEITERMAN was the youngest of six children. Raised in a strict
Christian household, his father Douglas worked as a bookkeeper
at the local mine. As a young boy, the family moved to Vancouver.
Initially, Mr.
LEITERMAN studied engineering at the University
of British Columbia. The move was in response to his talented
and artistic older siblings, who all went into the arts and intimidated
him. He soon learned that engineering wasn't for him and dropped
out. He headed to Europe where he worked in restaurant kitchens,
drove trucks in Germany, sailed charter yachts on the Mediterranean
and served coffee in trendy cafes. It was at one such coffee
shop in London where he met his future wife, Margaret. They married
in 1960 after returning to Vancouver.
At the suggestion of Mr.
LEITERMAN enrolled in a summer
course in camera technique at the University of British Columbia
when he was in his early twenties. He jokingly referred to the
course as "Be Your Own Film Director in Six Easy Weekends." His
instructor, Stanley Fox, would later remark that Mr.
while still a beginner, "held the camera as though it had been
in his hands his whole life."
After taking the summer course, Mr.
LEITERMAN bought a Bell and
Howell 16 mm camera, shot some footage of a storm and sold it
to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation News in Vancouver for $35.
Now a professional, he and his wife returned to London and he
worked as a news stringer for various networks. Soon after he
went into partnership with Mr.
KING, helping form Allan King
Associates, in 1962.
The documentaries Mr.
LEITERMAN and Mr.
KING made together took
them from the Arctic Circle to the civil rights marches in Mississippi
and Alabama and through war-ravaged Vietnam. In the late 1960s,
he followed anthropologist Margaret Mead through New Guinea and
American writer Norman Mailer at a protest march on the Pentagon.
"Richard is not as splashy or spectacular as most cameramen who
work with the hand-held camera, but he's incredibly secure with
what he sees and responds to. He has unique vision and great
integrity," Mr.
KING once said of Mr.
LEITERMAN's techniques
and style. "He never grabs at a subject; he doesn't push but
responds to what's happening in front of the camera, with the
result that he gets more respect from his subjects than anyone
I know. If there was a shot I had to get, I'd give it to Richard."
At the end of the decade, Mr.
LEITERMAN threw himself into another
Allan KING project, A Married Couple. It was an early example
of what television viewers today think of as reality television.
The couple was Billy and Antoinette
EDWARDS of Toronto. A camera
crew visited their Rushton Road house for about 10 weeks and
recorded their conversations, their ferocious arguments, and
their moments of tenderness.
Mr. LEITERMAN told Billy and Antoinette: "Don't recognize us,
don't give us a cup of coffee in the morning. We won't tell you
when we're coming. We won't say goodbye when we leave."
He installed light brackets on the walls and put photo floodlights
in the table lamps. Then he and Chris
WANGLER, the soundman,
showed up with their equipment. And waited for something to happen.
The film, whose obscene language created trouble with Ontario
film Censors, was a hit. Clive Barnes in The New York Times called
it "quite simply one of the greatest films I've ever seen."
Many thought it opened a new period in documentary film; it was
shown at festivals and much discussed. In the United States,
it was imitated by the producers of An American Family, which
ran in the 1972-73 season and became perhaps the most popular
series ever made for
LEITERMAN's hand-held, swish-pan
style was eventually adopted by fiction films, including Woody
Allen's Husbands and Wives.
That same year, Mr.
SHEBIB, then a young Toronto director asked
Mr. LEITERMAN if he'd like to shoot a low-budget movie about
Maritimers down on their luck in Toronto. Having agreed to be
part of the three-man crew, Mr.
LEITERMAN brought his documentary
eye to fiction filmmaking with Goin' Down the Road. During the
filming, he says he learned "a hell of a lot" about transition,
priorities and collaboration.
"It was a learning experience for both of us," he told an interviewer,
referring to himself and Mr.
SHEBIB. "We shot it with minimal
lighting, we shot it at 16. We would look around and see what
there was in the script and see what the weather was like. Sometimes
there was just nothing to shoot, and we'd say to the two lead
actors, 'Okay guys, go out and do something. It's snowing, the
sun is shining, it's a beautiful afternoon, let's do something.'
So they'd go out and have a snowball fight. It's what the characters
would have done. They would have said, "To hell with job hunting,
we'll go for a walk in Edwards Gardens and throw snowballs at
each other." Mr.
LEITERMAN and Mr.
SHEBIB went on to collaborate
on several more features and documentaries including Rip-Off
(1971) and Between Friends (1973). Along with making films, a
concern with labour practices within the industry led Mr.
to help organize the Canadian cameramen's union. When he wasn't
working, Mr.
LEITERMAN loved to sail on his eight-metre boat.
Every summer he would take a 10-day solo trip to B.C.'s Desolation
Sound. But sailing wasn't limited to summertime. He was also
known to take his boat out in the midst of a winter storm. "He
was a person who lived on the edge," said his widow Margaret
Mr. LEITERMAN won a Canadian Film Award for Cinematography for
his work on Joyce Wieland's The Far Shore (1975) and a Genie
Award for Best Cinematography for Mr.
Silence of the North
(1981). In 2000, he received the Kodak New Century Award for
outstanding contribution to the art of cinematography, from the
Society of Cinematographers. Recently, Mr.
shot movies for television, directed episodes of the Vancouver-shot
series Cold Squad and taught cinematography at Sheridan College
in Toronto. By all accounts, he had a reputation for demanding
the best of his students.
"If you are going to carry on in this business, then the most
important thing is to keep the faith," he liked to say. "Be passionate."
Richard LEITERMAN was born on April 7, 1935, in South Porcupine,
Ontario, and died in Vancouver on July 14, 2005. He was 70.
Cause of death was complications from the rare disease amyloidosis,
in which the body's organ systems accumulate deposits of abnormal
proteins. He was diagnosed in December and spent the last few
weeks of his life confined to a wheelchair.

VANDUZER, The Honourable Mr. Justice John Elston
Nov. 8, 2005 If ever there lived a modern-day chevalier, that
man was John Elston
October 14, 1927 in Winona,
south of Hamilton, John was raised with his brother Dick on the
family fruit farm but felt destined to be a city gentleman. After
completing his secondary education in Hamilton, John did his
B.A. at McMaster University (1950) before attending Osgoode Hall.
After articling with Fraser and Beatty, he entered into private
practice in Hamilton, but found his real calling when he was
appointed to the Family Court, in 1966. John's professional life
was a memorable succession of selfless initiatives: he co-founded
the Unified Family Court in 1976, was the first Canadian President
of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, set up
the Dawn Patrol Group Home to aid troubled youth, was an Elder
and Sunday School Teacher at St. Giles' United Church, served
on the Committee for Citizens of Distinction and
as President
of the Hamilton Community Concert. John was a tireless advocate
for families and a leading member of his community. In recognition
of this, he was awarded an Honourary Doctorate of Laws by McMaster
University in 2003.
Above all, John treasured his family. He was blessed with two
wonderful marriages: the first to Betty
ANDERSON, whom he met
in Latin class at McMaster and married in 1955 and with whom
he had three children, Tony (Jodie
and Sarah (John
Betty's death in 1984, John entered
into a joyous union with Joan
WANSBROUGH (née
LAWSON) in 1985
and found himself a delighted stepfather to Michael (Liane
Connie (Eric
LOWY) and Gwyn (Andres
DUSSAN.) He was an adored
Grandpa to Taylor, Eli, Anders, Mac, Simone, Claire, Melissa,
Kaitlin, Diego and Daniela.
A master storyteller, dapper dresser and consummate host, John
enjoyed life to the full. With Joan he travelled the world, enjoyed
the arts, entertained his wide circle of dear Friends, and reveled
in the beauty of their cottage on Peninsula Lake, and their farm
at Mansfield.
The best summary of John's life comes from his granddaughter,
Simone. When in 2002 John retired from the bench and was feted
during his last day in court, in full regalia and with many testimonials
to his skills in jurisprudence and mediation, four-year-old Simone
looked up at her Uncle Peter and, in an awestruck voice, asked
"Is Grandpa a hero?" Yes, Simone, John Elston

Golf and Country Club, 232 Golf Links Road, Ancaster, on Sunday,

his Friends and family to be there.

After conferring with owners Jerry and Ann Moss, a decision has been made to run the champion mare Zenyatta in 2010 rather than breed her, trainer John Shirreffs said Jan. 16.
The undefeated Zenyatta, a finalist for 2009 Horse of the Year, had been working weekly at her Hollywood Park base since becoming the first female to win the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) in electrifying style Nov. 7. She has posted three half-mile workouts at Hollywood recently.
"She's just been training so well since the Breeders' Cup. You know Mr. Moss is such a great sportsman and he really wanted to see her run again," an overjoyed Shirreffs said while confirming Zenyatta's un-retirement, first reported by Daily Racing Form.
Of a possible meeting with the other 2009 Horse of the Year finalist, Rachel Alexandra, Shirreffs responded, "Obviously, that's something everyone would like to see."
He said a plan for the 6-year-old Zenyatta, who has won all 14 of her lifetime starts and was the Eclipse Award-winning champion older mare of 2009, "has not been discussed." He said the schedule would likely be quite different than the one the strapping mare experienced during the prior two years, when she mostly stayed in California.
"Like last year, we would want to take it one race a time," Shirreffs said. "But she's a lot farther along right now than she was at this time last year. A lot of options are open to us."
The Mosses said Zenyatta was only keeping busy at Hollywood while they waited for the weather in Kentucky to improve before transferring her to be bred. But the temptation to bring her back to the track was apparently too much.
Jerry Moss told HRTV, "That's just it. Annie and I just watched her jog on the track this morning. She's so radiant. She seems to still be growing, if that's possible.
"She's a real star. We love to watch her run. So we said, What are we doing? Listen, let's run her."
Moss said Shirreffs was fully supportive of the decision.
The Dubai World Cup (UAE-I), worth $10 million, will be run on a synthetic track for the first time March 27. But Moss said he was unsure if that would be Zenyatta's next major goal.
"We're open to all sorts of races," he said. "She needs to get into a little bit better shape and John will let us know when she's ready to run."

Commercial Display Rack orders tend to come in bunches and timeline requirements for delivery can either be urgent for a store opening soon or customer's like to place orders in advance of getting permits and occupancy to ensure all items are lined up for when they are ready for the opening. As a result depending on the size of the order, material, and stain option, and the number of orders received at the same time we will normally take 1-3 weeks to ship your order. For those customer's wanting us to hold their order until they authorize us to ship it, as long as you note in the special instructions at time of order the estimated date you will want us to ship it out we will hold it for no additional storage charge as long as you allow us to ship it within 60 days of your estimated ship date.

Depending on the material, stain, quantity, and items selected we can ship your order in as little as 1 day from date of receipt for no additional charge! To take advantage of the quick ship program please select the quick ship option during checkout for your order and then please explain the timeline you are under for the order in the special instructions field on the checkout page. We will review your order during normal business hours and contact you to review your needs. In certain locations your delivery date may require expedited shipping charges even if we ship your order out with the quick ship program, which might be an additional charge you would need to authorize. All of the options will be reviewed with you when we contact you. If for any reason we cannot fulfill your quick ship order after reviewing your needs you will be able to cancel your order for a full refund.

To continue the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All discussion, we bring you this documentary showcasing the group's wildest behavior and their hometown of Ladera, Calif. It's basically a day-in-the-life piece that features a whole hell of a lot of footage of them acting a fool in parking lots, in the car, and elsewhere.
One of the highlights comes early on when they're blasting Waka Flocka Flame in the car and leader Tyler, the Creator does the "cooking" dance. Along with being absurd (and hilarious), it gives you a glimpse of their live shows, which usually start with Syd spinning a bunch of Waka, Gucci Mane, and other records while the audience freaks out.
Other notable moments in the video include Tyler running into a huge fixture at a mall; the guys causing mayhem in a parking lot outside of Burger King, which they then enter; and more cooking dancing in the car. The best part, though? The dance battle toward the end. If any of the nonsense before that annoys you, the battle should win you over.
You can watch the documentary below.

Crisis Management Guide
Convention Services Manager
It is a great time to be a part of the dynamic industry of meetings and conferences, isn't it? The market is strengthening and most expect 2014 to be near or surpass industry records. Budgets – up, market – up, attendance – up, occupancy-up, RevPar- up and even employment slightly up. While the upward direction is exciting and energizing, it is important that we continue to drive the messages of the value of live events, meetings and conventions.
In my ten plus years as a member of PCMA (all with the SE Chapter), I have had the opportunity to serve in several capacities. Most memorable were serving in the areas of membership and as SE Chapter Board Liaison to HQ. I also enjoy the Service in Sync events, as I know the work done at these events is so critical to the community we serve. At no time, did I think the environment was so right for messaging about the importance of conferences & meetings.
As we get busy with our day-to-day activities, our optimistic nature tends to blur the images of those difficult economic years that are now hopefully in the rear view. Yet we must not forget that there is a lot of work to be done in continuing to build the brand of our profession. It is clear that we have made progress and it is equally clear that there is more to be done.
For example, we help adults grow in their leadership, skills and professionalism, we foster enterprise innovation, bring together cultures/peoples/organizations and bust open the silos within. We build bridges, brands and businesses and so much more. We make a difference that we need to be able to clearly articulate and own. Like many of you, I am an unabashed raving fan of our industry and that is what drives my PCMA involvement. I look forward to the next three years as part of the PCMA Board as an opportunity to make a difference in this conversation. I hope you will join me as your voice is needed. Visit www.pcma.org to see what is being done in industry advocacy and how you can make a difference.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact; it may also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis. Other human diseases caused by related Treponema pallidum include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum), and bejel (subspecies endemicum).
The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration), secondary syphilis with a diffuse rash which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, latent syphilis with little to no symptoms, and tertiary syphilis with gummas, neurological, or cardiac symptoms. It has, however, been known as "the great imitator" due to its frequent atypical presentations. Diagnosis is usually made by using blood tests; however, the bacteria can also be detected using dark field microscopy. Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics, specifically the preferred intramuscular benzathine penicillin G (or penicillin G potassium given intravenously for neurosyphilis), or else ceftriaxone, and in those who have a severe penicillin allergy, oral doxycycline or azithromycin.
Syphilis is thought to have infected 12 million additional people worldwide in 1999, with greater than 90% of cases in the developing world. After decreasing dramatically since the widespread availability of penicillin in the 1940s, rates of infection have increased since the turn of the millennium in many countries, often in combination with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This has been attributed partly to unsafe sexual practices among men who have sex with men, increased promiscuity, prostitution, and decreasing use of condoms.[1][2][3]
Signs and symptoms
Syphilis can present in one of four different stages: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary,[4] and may also occur congenitally.[5] It was referred to as "the great imitator" by Sir William Osler due to its varied presentations.[4][6]
Primary syphilis is typically acquired by direct sexual contact with the infectious lesions of another person.[7] Approximately 3 to 90 days after the initial exposure (average 21 days) a skin lesion, called a chancre, appears at the point of contact.[4] This is classically (40% of the time) a single, firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration with a clean base and sharp borders between 0.3 and 3.0 cm in size.[4] The lesion, however, may take on almost any form.[8] In the classic form, it evolves from a macule to a papule and finally to an erosion or ulcer.[8] Occasionally, multiple lesions may be present (~40%),[4] with multiple lesions more common when coinfected with HIV. Lesions may be painful or tender (30%), and they may occur outside of the genitals (2–7%). The most common location in women is the cervix (44%), the penis in heterosexual men (99%), and anally and rectally relatively commonly in men who have sex with men (34%).[8] Lymph node enlargement frequently (80%) occurs around the area of infection,[4] occurring seven to 10 days after chancre formation.[8] The lesion may persist for three to six weeks without treatment.[4]
Secondary syphilis occurs approximately four to ten weeks after the primary infection.[4] While secondary disease is known for the many different ways it can manifest, symptoms most commonly involve the skin, mucous membranes, and lymph nodes.[9] There may be a symmetrical, reddish-pink, non-itchy rash on the trunk and extremities, including the palms and soles.[4][10] The rash may become maculopapular or pustular. It may form flat, broad, whitish, wart-like lesions known as condyloma latum on mucous membranes. All of these lesions harbor bacteria and are infectious. Other symptoms may include fever, sore throat, malaise, weight loss, hair loss, and headache.[4] Rare manifestations include hepatitis, kidney disease, arthritis, periostitis, optic neuritis, uveitis, and interstitial keratitis.[4][11] The acute symptoms usually resolve after three to six weeks;[11] however, about 25% of people may present with a recurrence of secondary symptoms. Many people who present with secondary syphilis (40–85% of women, 20–65% of men) do not report previously having had the classic chancre of primary syphilis.[9]
Latent syphilis is defined as having serologic proof of infection without symptoms of disease.[7] It is further described as either early (less than 1 year after secondary syphilis) or late (more than 1 year after secondary syphilis) in the United States.[11] The United Kingdom uses a cut-off of two years for early and late latent syphilis.[8] Early latent syphilis may have a relapse of symptoms. Late latent syphilis is asymptomatic, and not as contagious as early latent syphilis.[11]
Tertiary syphilis may occur approximately 3 to 15 years after the initial infection, and may be divided into three different forms: gummatous syphilis (15%), late neurosyphilis (6.5%), and cardiovascular syphilis (10%).[4][11] Without treatment, a third of infected people develop tertiary disease.[11] People with tertiary syphilis are not infectious.[4]
Gummatous syphilis or late benign syphilis usually occurs 1 to 46 years after the initial infection, with an average of 15 years. This stage is characterized by the formation of chronic gummas, which are soft, tumor-like balls of inflammation which may vary considerably in size. They typically affect the skin, bone, and liver, but can occur anywhere.[4]
Neurosyphilis refers to an infection involving the central nervous system. It may occur early, being either asymptomatic or in the form of syphilitic meningitis, or late as meningovascular syphilis, general paresis, or tabes dorsalis, which is associated with poor balance and lightning pains in the lower extremities. Late neurosyphilis typically occurs 4 to 25 years after the initial infection. Meningovascular syphilis typically presents with apathy and seizure, and general paresis with dementia and tabes dorsalis.[4] Also, there may be Argyll Robertson pupils, which are bilateral small pupils that constrict when the person focuses on near objects, but do not constrict when exposed to bright light.
Cardiovascular syphilis usually occurs 10–30 years after the initial infection. The most common complication is syphilitic aortitis, which may result in aneurysm formation.[4]
Congenital syphilis is that which is transmitted during pregnancy or during birth. Two-thirds of syphilitic infants are born without symptoms. Common symptoms that develop over the first couple years of life include: hepatosplenomegaly (70%), rash (70%), fever (40%), neurosyphilis (20%), and pneumonitis (20%). If untreated, late congenital syphilis may occur in 40%, including: saddle nose deformation, Higoumenakis sign, saber shin, or Clutton's joints among others.[12]
Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum is a spiral-shaped, Gram-negative, highly mobile bacterium.[8][13] Three other human diseases are caused by related Treponema pallidum, including yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum) and bejel (subspecies endemicum).[4] Unlike subtype pallidum, they do not cause neurological disease.[12] Humans are the only known natural reservoir for subspecies pallidum.[5] It is unable to survive without a host for more than a few days. This is due to its small genome (1.14 MDa) failing to encode the metabolic pathways necessary to make most of its macronutrients. It has a slow doubling time of greater than 30 hours.[8]
Syphilis is transmitted primarily by sexual contact or during [8] Most (60%) of new cases in the United States occur in men who have sex with men. It can be transmitted via blood products. However, it is tested for in many countries and thus the risk is low. The risk of transmission from sharing needles appears limited.[4]
It is not generally possible to contract syphilis through toilet seats, daily activities, hot tubs, or sharing eating utensils or clothing.[14] This is mainly because the bacteria die very quickly outside of the body, making transmission via objects extremely difficult.[15]
Syphilis is difficult to diagnose clinically early in its presentation.[8] Confirmation is either via [16]
Blood tests
Blood tests are divided into nontreponemal and treponemal tests.[8] Nontreponemal tests are used initially, and include venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) and rapid plasma reagin tests. However, as these tests are occasionally false positives, confirmation is required with a treponemal test, such as treponemal pallidum particle agglutination (TPHA) or fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-Abs).[4] False positives on the nontreponemal tests can occur with some viral infections such as varicella and measles, as well as with lymphoma, tuberculosis, malaria, endocarditis, connective tissue disease, and pregnancy.[7] Treponemal antibody tests usually become positive two to five weeks after the initial infection.[8] Neurosyphilis is diagnosed by finding high numbers of leukocytes (predominately lymphocytes) and high protein levels in the cerebrospinal fluid in the setting of a known syphilis infection.[4][7]
Direct testing
Dark ground microscopy of serous fluid from a chancre may be used to make an immediate diagnosis. However, hospitals do not always have equipment or experienced staff members, whereas testing must be done within 10 minutes of acquiring the sample. Sensitivity has been reported to be nearly 80%, thus can only be used to confirm a diagnosis but not rule one out. Two other tests can be carried out on a sample from the chancre: direct fluorescent antibody testing and nucleic acid amplification tests. Direct fluorescent testing uses antibodies tagged with fluorescein, which attach to specific syphilis proteins, while nucleic acid amplification uses techniques, such as the polymerase chain reaction, to detect the presence of specific syphilis genes. These tests are not as time-sensitive, as they do not require living bacteria to make the diagnosis.[8]
As of 2010, there is no vaccine effective for prevention.[5] Abstinence from intimate physical contact with an infected person is effective at reducing the transmission of syphilis, as is the proper use of a latex condom. Condom use, however, does not completely eliminate the risk.[17][18] Thus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner and the avoidance of substances such as alcohol and other drugs that increase risky sexual behavior.[17]
Congenital syphilis in the newborn can be prevented by screening mothers during early pregnancy and treating those who are infected.[19] The third trimester.[21] If they are positive, they recommend their partners also be treated.[21] Congenital syphilis is, however, still common in the developing world, as many women do not receive antenatal care at all, and the antenatal care others do receive does not include screening,[19] and it still occasionally occurs in the developed world, as those most likely to acquire syphilis (through drug use, etc.) are least likely to receive care during pregnancy.[19] A number of measures to increase access to testing appear effective at reducing rates of congenital syphilis in low- to middle-income countries.[21]
Syphilis is a notifiable disease in many countries, including Canada[22] the European Union,[23] and the United States.[24] This means health care providers are required to notify public health authorities, which will then ideally provide partner notification to the person's partners.[25] Physicians may also encourage patients to send their partners to seek care.[26] The CDC recommends sexually active men who have sex with men are tested at least yearly.[27]
Early infections
The first-choice treatment for uncomplicated syphilis remains a single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin G or a single dose of oral azithromycin.[28] Doxycycline and tetracycline are alternative choices; however, due to the risk of birth defects these are not recommended for pregnant women. Antibiotic resistance has developed to a number of agents, including macrolides, clindamycin, and rifampin.[5] Ceftriaxone, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, may be as effective as penicillin-based treatment.[4] It is recommended that a treated person avoid sex until the sores are healed.[14]
Late infections
For neurosyphilis, due to the poor penetration of penicillin G into the central nervous system, those affected are recommended to be given large doses of intravenous penicillin for a minimum of 10 days.[4][5] If a person is allergic, ceftriaxone may be used or penicillin desensitization attempted. Other late presentations may be treated with once-weekly intramuscular penicillin G for three weeks. If allergic, as in the case of early disease, doxycycline or tetracycline may be used, albeit for a longer duration. Treatment at this stage limits further progression, but has only slight effect on damage which has already occurred.[4]
Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction
One of the potential side effects of treatment is the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. It frequently starts within one hour and lasts for 24 hours, with symptoms of fever, muscles pains, headache, and tachycardia.[4] It is caused by cytokines released by the immune system in response to lipoproteins released from rupturing syphilis bacteria.[29]
Syphilis is believed to have infected 12 million additional people in 1999, with greater than 90% of cases in the developing world.[5] It affects between 700,000 and 1.6 million pregnancies a year, resulting in spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and congenital syphilis.[12] During 2010 it caused about 113,000 deaths down from 202,000 in 1990.[31] In sub-Saharan Africa, syphilis contributes to approximately 20% of perinatal deaths.[12] Rates are proportionally higher among intravenous drug users, those who are infected with HIV, and men who have sex with men.[1][2][3] In the United States, rates of syphilis as of 2007 were six times greater in men than women, while they were nearly equal in 1997.[32] African Americans accounted for almost half of all cases in 2010.[33]
Syphilis was very common in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. In the developed world during the early 20th century, infections declined rapidly with the widespread use of antibiotics, until the 1980s and 1990s.[13] Since the year 2000, rates of syphilis have been increasing in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia and Europe, primarily among men who have sex with men.[5] Rates of syphilis among American women have, however, remained stable during this time, and rates among UK women have increased, but at a rate less than that of men.[34] Increased rates among heterosexuals have occurred in China and Russia since the 1990s.[5] This has been attributed to unsafe sexual practices, such as sexual promiscuity, prostitution, and decreasing use of barrier protection.[5][34][35]
Untreated, it has a mortality of 8% to 58%, with a greater death rate in males.[4] The symptoms of syphilis have become less severe over the 19th and 20th centuries, in part due to widespread availability of effective treatment and partly due to decreasing virulence of the spirochaete.[9] With early treatment, few complications result.[8] Syphilis increases the risk of HIV transmission by two to five times, and coinfection is common (30–60% in a number of urban centers).[4][5]
The exact origin of syphilis is disputed.[4] Syphilis was indisputably present in the Americas before European contact. The dispute is over whether or not syphilis was also present elsewhere in the world at that time. One of the two primary hypotheses proposes that syphilis was carried from the Americas to Europe by the returning crewmen from [16] Due to its being spread by returning French troops, it was initially known as the "French disease". In 1530, the name "syphilis" was first used by the Italian physician and poet Girolamo Fracastoro as the title of his Latin poem in dactylic hexameter describing the ravages of the disease in Italy.[39] It was also known historically as the "Great Pox".[40][41]
The causative organism, Treponema pallidum, was first identified by Fritz Schaudinn and Erich Hoffmann in 1905.[13] The first effective treatment (Salvarsan) was developed in 1910 by Paul Ehrlich, which was followed by trials of penicillin and confirmation of its effectiveness in 1943.[13][40] Before the advent of effective treatment, mercury and isolation were commonly used, with treatments often worse than the disease.[40]
Many famous historical figures (including Franz Schubert, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Édouard Manet[13]) are believed to have had the disease.
Society and culture
Arts and literature
The earliest known depiction of an individual with syphilis is Albrecht Dürer's Syphilitic Man, a woodcut believed to represent a Landsknecht, a Northern European mercenary.[42] The myth of the femme fatale or "poison women" of the 19th century is believed to be partly derived from the devastation of syphilis, with classic examples in literature including John Keats' La Belle Dame sans Merci.[43][44]
The artist Jan van der Straet painted a scene of a wealthy man receiving treatment for syphilis with the tropical wood guaiacum sometime around 1580.[45] The title of the work is "Preparation and Use of Guayaco for Treating Syphilis". That the artist chose to include this image in a series of works celebrating the New World indicates how important a treatment, however ineffective, for syphilis was to the European elite at that time. The richly colored and detailed work depicts four servants preparing the concoction while a physician looks on, hiding something behind his back while the hapless patient drinks.[46]
Tuskegee and Guatemala studies
One of the most infamous United States cases of questionable medical ethics in the 20th century was the Tuskegee syphilis study.[47] The study took place in Tuskegee, Alabama, and was supported by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) in partnership with the Tuskegee Institute.[48] The study began in 1932, when syphilis was a widespread problem and there was no safe and effective treatment.[6] The study was designed to measure the progression of untreated syphilis. By 1947, penicillin had been validated as an effective cure for syphilis and was becoming widely used to treat the disease. Study directors, however, continued the study and did not offer the participants treatment with penicillin.[48] This is debated, and some have found that penicillin was given to many of the subjects.[6] The study did not end until 1972.[48] On May 16, 1997, survivors of the study were invited to the White House to be present when President Bill Clinton apologized on behalf of the United States government for the study. [49]
Syphilis experiments were also carried out in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948. They were United States-sponsored human experiments, conducted during the government of Juan José Arévalo with the cooperation of some Guatemalan health ministries and officials. Doctors infected soldiers, prisoners, and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, without the informed consent of the subjects, and then treated them with antibiotics. In October 2010, the U.S. formally apologized to Guatemala for conducting these experiments.[50]
There is no vaccine available for people; however, several vaccines based on treponemal proteins reduce lesion development in an animal model, and research is ongoing.[51]
