Zogenix Inc., makers of Zohydro, say Gov. Deval Patrick has no authority to ban their drug from the market.
BOSTON -- A pharmaceutical company which manufactures a painkiller that Gov. Deval Patrick banned from use in Massachusetts filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court Monday, asking the court to grant an injunction to stop the governor's executive order that prohibits Massachusetts doctors from prescribing or dispensing the drug.
In the lawsuit, Zogenix Inc., makers of Zohydro ER, argue the governor's ban is in "direct conflict" with the authority of the Food and Drug Administration to determine on the public's behalf if a drug is safe and effective. The FDA approved Zohydro ER in October 2013.
The company said the legal action comes after a formal written request to the governor for a meeting about the product "went unanswered." The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.
A spokeswoman for the governor said the Department of Public Health was working on a statement responding to the lawsuit.
Patrick banned Zohydro ER almost two weeks ago after declaring a public health emergency around the heroin and opioid addiction epidemic in the state. During a press conference announcing emergency steps the Patrick administration would take to combat the drug problem, the governor said he would ban any hydrocodone-only formulation, commonly known as Zohydro. Patrick said it poses a "significant risk to individuals already addicted to opiates and to the public at large."
"Zohydro is a dangerously addictive pharmaceutical painkiller approved by the FDA recently, over the objection of their scientific advisory council and is not available in an abuse-deterrent form," Patrick said during the press conference on March 27. "Until it is available in such a form or better until the secretary of HHS at the federal level or the Congress has acted on the request to overturn the FDA, Zohydro will not be available in Massachusetts."
The Patrick administration said the ban would last until state authorities determine measures are in place to safeguard against the potential for misuse, overdose or diversion.
Zogenix officials have said they have taken steps to prevent misuse of Zohydro, and dispute claims that it is more addictive or powerful than other commonly prescribed opioids.
"Governor Patrick's unilateral action was taken without any communication or advanced notice. In very limited interactions with his staff after the decision, we are convinced the decision was driven by factual inaccuracies about the science and the data. Unfortunately, it left us little recourse but to put the needs of patients in severe chronic pain ahead of politics and file for an injunction to stop the executive order," Roger Hawley, chief executive officer of Zogenix, said in a statement. "Zohydro ER was approved by the FDA after an exhaustive 18-month review of the clinical trial data. This rigorous FDA review process serves the nation's public health needs, the medical community and those in severe chronic pain, and the FDA regulatory authority simply should not be usurped by individual states."
Amy Larkin, a spokeswoman for Zogenix, said in an email there has been a "significant amount of misinformation in the media about Zohydro ER."
"For patients in severe chronic pain who need hydrocodone, but are at risk for potentially fatal acetaminophen induced acute liver damage, Zohydro ER may be the only option for these patients to manage their pain," Larkin wrote.
Zogenix officials describe Zohydro ER as a drug that manages pain severe enough to require continuous, long-term opioid treatment for which alternative options are inadequate.
Larkin said Zohydro is not ten times more powerful than Vicodin, and it is not the most powerful opiate in its class. There are other marketed opioids that are more potent than hydrocodone, such as oxymorphone, methadone, hydromorphone and fentanyl, according to Larkin.
Last week, Deborah Allwes, director of prescription monitoring and drug control at the Department of Public Health, stated a physician in a hospital or extended care facility may not order hydrocone-only extended release for an admitted patient under their care, and added a pharmacy in Massachusetts will not be able to fill a prescription from a neighboring state for hydrocone-only extended release.
In declaring a public health emergency around the heroin-use and opiate epidemic, Patrick, along with Department of Public Health Commissioner Cheryl Bartlett, announced several steps they planned to take to address the problem, including authorizing all first responders to carry and administer Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, which can reverse the effects of an overdose and prevent death.
At least 140 have died of heroin overdoses in Massachusetts during the past several months, Patrick said during the press conference.

KABUL, Afghanistan - A suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense Ministry on Saturday, one of two attacks that killed at least 18 people as U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel visited the nation, officials said.
Nine people were killed in the bombing at the ministry, a fresh reminder that insurgents continue to fight and challenges remain as the U.S.-led NATO force hands over the country's security to the Afghans.
About a half hour later, another suicide bomber attacked a police checkpoint in Khost, the capital of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan. An Afghan policeman and eight civilians, who were mostly children, died in that blast, said provincial spokesman Baryalai Wakman.
"We are still at war," Hagel said shortly before he arrived on Friday, the same day that three men wearing Afghan army uniforms and driving an Afghan army vehicle forced their way onto a U.S. base in eastern Afghanistan and opened fire, killing one civilian contractor and wounding other U.S. troops.
On Saturday, a U.S. military official identified the dead contractor as an American citizen, and added that four U.S. soldiers were injured in the attack. The official said investigators were "95 percent certain it was an insider attack," because the three men came from the Afghan side of the joint U.S.-Afghan base, and rammed an Afghan army Humvee through a checkpoint dividing the base, before jumping out and opening fire on the Americans with automatic weapons. All three attackers were killed.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The Taliban said it was not behind the Tagab attack, but the group claimed responsibility for the morning attack at the ministry, saying it was meant to send a signal to the U.S. defense chief.
"This attack was a message to him," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in an email to reporters.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said Hagel was in a briefing at a U.S.-led military coalition facility in another part of the city when the explosion occurred. He said the briefing continued without interruption.
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said the bomber on a bicycle struck just before 9 a.m. local time about 30 meters (yards) from the main gate of the ministry.
A man at the scene, Abdul Ghafoor, said the blast rocked the entire area.
"I saw dead bodies and wounded victims lying everywhere," Ghafoor told AP Television News. "Then random shooting started and we escaped from the area."
The ministry said at least nine civilians were killed and others were wounded.
Reporters traveling with Hagel were in a briefing when they heard the explosion. They were moved to a lower floor of the same building as U.S. facilities in downtown Kabul were locked down as a security precaution.
Associated Press writers Lolita C. Baldor and Heidi Vogt contributed to this report from Kabul.

|Vince Camuto Perfume
Just as chic and sophisticated as his creations, the signature scent from designer, Vince Camuto and Parlux Fragrances, is a perfume of timeless elegance and style for today's woman. This is a luxurious, polished floral chypre scent crafted by perfumer, Steve DeMarcado that is a compelling and complex blend of femininity.
The top notes of Vince Camuto start out spicy and sweet with intoxicating notes of rum absolute and osmanthus nectar. As the fragrance further develops, the Bulgarian rose and night-blooming jasmine add romance and opulent richness. Yet, there is a touch of the exotic to the glamour. Notes of leather weave through this perfume as well like a lover's protective embrace to give it strength and comforting warmth. Once the vanilla absolute, patchouli, amber and skin musk become apparent, the scent mellows into one of soft seduction and romance.
The beautiful glass bottle adored with red ribbon itself is a treasure. From the stylish cap sporting the logo to the gold of the chain, you feel privileged just touching it.

There are steps you can take to reduce your risk of catching a cold or influenza . They include the following:
Wash Your Hands Often
Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of getting a cold or the flu. Wash your hands often, especially when you come in contact with someone who is sick. Even if someone in your house has the flu, you can reduce your risk of getting sick by washing your hands.
Effective ways to prevent respiratory infections include:
- Washing your hands thoroughly (15-20 seconds) with soap and water
- Avoiding hand-to-hand passage of germs and droplet sprays from sneezing and coughing
- Using alcohol-based hand gels when washing is not possible
Wear a Face Mask
If you have to be in close contact with a sick person, wear a face mask or a disposable respirator. Wearing a face mask and washing your hands can help to reduce your risk of getting the flu.
Do Not Share Items
Do not share drinks or personal items.
Keep Your Hands Away From Your Face
Do not bite your nails or put your hands near your eyes, mouth, or nose.
Avoid Crowds During Influenza Season
This may not be a very practical suggestion for everyone. However, if you are at high risk of catching a cold or influenza or are at risk for developing complications from these infections, try to avoid crowded areas or people who are obviously sick during the flu season.
Get a Flu Vaccine
Each year, the World Health Organization (WHO) tries to determine which strains of the influenza virus will be most dangerous in the upcoming influenza season. Vaccines are developed for these strains. Flu vaccines are available and recommended for most people aged 6 months and older.
There is a vaccine against the avian flu , but it is not available to the general public.
The seasonal flu vaccine has been associated with fewer hospitalizations and deaths from influenza or pneumonia among the elderly living in a community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that anyone aged 6 months and older should get a yearly flu vaccine. Children 6 months to 8 years of age will need 2 doses of the vaccine to help build immunity to the virus when getting vaccinated for the first time.
There are two types of seasonal flu vaccines:
- Flu shot—This is for people aged 6 months and older. The shot is made from an inactivated, killed virus. It is given by injection, usually into the arm.
- Nasal spray flu vaccine—This is approved for healthy people aged 2-49 years who are not pregnant. It is made from live, weakened flu viruses. Certain people, like those with weakened immune systems, should get the flu shot instead of the nasal spray. Talk to your doctor about which one is right for you. Note: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that the nasal spray flu vaccine should not be used for the 2017-2018 flu season.
A possible side effect is a mild "flu-like" reaction, including fever, aches, and fatigue. Up to 5% of people experience these symptoms after getting the seasonal influenza vaccine.
Flu vaccines are available at doctors' offices, hospitals, local public health offices, and at some workplaces, stores, and shopping malls.
Most people do not need to take antiviral medications. Your may want to talk to your doctor about taking these medications to lower your risk of getting the flu if you:
- Are exposed to the flu, and
- Are at high risk of having complications
If you have the flu and live with someone who is at risk for complications (for example, elderly, babies, someone with cancer), that person may need to take antiviral medications to prevent getting the flu from you. Remember that these medications are not a substitute for getting vaccinated. Vaccination is still the best way to prevent the flu.
Alternative Treatments
There are a number of alternative treatments that have been studied as potential ways to prevent colds and the flu. Some that may have protective benefits include:
- Zinc —Taking a daily zinc supplement may reduce your risk of getting sick.
- Andrographis (also called "Indian echinacea")—This herb may increase your resistance to colds.
- Vitamin C —A daily dose of this vitamin may also help you to stay healthy.
While echinacea is often labeled as a "cold fighter," the overall evidence is not very strong to support this herb's preventive effects.
Remember to talk to your doctor before taking any herbs or supplements. They can interact with other medications you are taking or worsen a condition that you have.

text: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 2013 Call for Proposals: CPG/CPA Development As part of APTA's strategic plan, one of the goals for 2013 is to better enable physical therapists to consistently use best practice to improve the quality of life of their patients and clients. To achieve this goal, APTA is supporting the development of clinical practice evidence-based documents. This initiative aims to provide structure, process, and resources for the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) and Clinical Practice Appraisals (CPA) that enable the translation of research into physical therapist practice. In order to facilitate the development of clinical practice documents and other high quality evidence summaries, APTA is offering financial and training support to sections for this purpose. Proposals for CPG/CPA development must focus on clinical practice areas that are important and relevant to the practice of physical therapy. The proposal must be supported and submitted by an APTA section. Each proposal will be considered individually and will be awarded in part or in full depending on the priorities of the association and the strength of the proposal. Proposals for the current review cycle are due on September 15. For more information or for a copy of the proposal submission document, contact Anita Bemis-Dougherty, director, Practice Department, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800/999-2782, ext 3176.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of diseases that involve dysfunction of the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the tissue found within the bones. Its task is to create mature blood cells from stem cells. In all forms of MDS, this normal cell-creation process is disrupted by the overproduction of clones of a single stem cell. This leads to a decrease in production of normal red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The World Health Organization has classified MDS into 8 categories. Some forms are more serious than others, but all of them are serious enough to require a doctor's care. Thirty percent of people with MDS develop acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells and their parent cells. As more is learned about MDS, experts began to see it as a form of cancer.
The cause of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is unknown, but research shows that certain risk factors are associated with the disease.
Risk Factors
MDS is more common in men and in those aged 60 years and older. Other factors that may increase your chances of MDS:
- Family members with MDS
Certain genetic syndromes:
- Down syndrome
- Fanconi anemia
- Shwachman-Diamond syndrome
- Congenital neutropenia
- Familial platelet disorders
- Exposure to large amounts of radiation
- Exposure to certain chemicals such as benzene
- Exposure to pesticides
- Radiation therapy or chemotherapy treatment for cancer
- Smoking
- Typically, there are no symptoms in the early stages of MDS. Later stage symptoms may vary from person to person, depending on how serious the disease is. Later stage symptoms may include:
Signs of anemia caused by an underproduction of red blood cells:
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Pale skin
- Feeling weak and tired
- Heart failure (in severe cases)
Neutropenia occurs when there are inadequate levels of white blood cells. White blood cells fight infection. Signs of this condition include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Frequent, unusual, or especially serious infections
Thrombocytopenia occurs when there are inadequate levels of platelets in the blood. Platelets stop bleeding by clotting the blood. Signs of thrombocytopenia include:
- Bleeding easily, especially from the nose and gums
- Bruising easily
- Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, weight loss, and extreme fatigue.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The symptoms for MDS can indicate many other conditions. Doctors have to rule out other conditions before diagnosing MDS.
Tests may include the following:
- Blood test to check your red and white blood cell counts and platelet counts and to check how the blood cells look.
- Bone marrow biopsy to check for MDS. A bone marrow biopsy is the removal of a sample of bone marrow for testing.
- Your doctor may also order other tests to rule out other conditions.
Treatment for MDS depends on your age, other medical conditions, and how serious the disease is. Treatment also depends on how far along the disease has progressed to AML. Often, treatment includes relieving the symptoms of MDS. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. You may be referred to a hematologist and an oncologist.
Blood Transfusion
If you have a low red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet count, you may receive a blood transfusion . A blood transfusion is a treatment that involves receiving blood products (red cells, white cells, platelets, clotting factors, plasma, or whole blood) through a vein. The blood components may come from an unrelated donor, from a related donor, or may have been banked in advance by the recipient.
If you have a low white blood cell count, you may receive antibiotics to fight infection.
Growth Factors
Growth factors help the bone marrow produce blood cells. The following growth factors may be used to treat MDS:
- Erythropoietin (EPO) is a growth factor that helps the bone marrow produce red blood cells.
- Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM-CSF) are growth factors that help the bone marrow produce white blood cells. Pegfilgrastim is a form of G-CSF that is longer-acting.
- Oprelvekin is a drug that helps the body produce platelets.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be given in many forms including: pill, injection, or through an IV. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells.
There are 3 combinations of chemotherapy drugs used to treat MDS. These combinations include:
- Cytarabine and idarubicin
- Cytarabine and topotecan
- Cytarabine and fludarabine
Hypomethylating agents are drugs that slow down the growth of cells and include:
- Decitabine
- Azacitidine
Immunomodulating drugs change the immune system and include:
- Thalidomide
- Lenalidomide
Immunosuppression agents suppress the immune system and include:
- Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)
- Cyclosporine
Stem Cell Transplant
The only cure for MDS is a stem cell transplant (SCT). An SCT starts with high-dose chemotherapy to kill the bone marrow, and is then followed by an injection of healthy stem cells. The stem cells used can come from the blood or bone marrow.
There are 2 types of SCT. The less common one is called an autologous SCT, and occurs when the patient is injected with her own cells after high-dose chemotherapy. The more common method is called allogeneic and occurs when a patient gets donor cells after high-dose chemotherapy.
Many doctors will only perform an SCT on a people aged 50 years and younger.
To help reduce your chances of MDS:
- Avoid exposure to hazardous chemicals such as benzene.
- Avoid smoking. If you do smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit .
Reduce your risk for developing cancer:
- Eat a balanced, healthful diet.
- Get regular exercise.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Avoid environmental and occupational risks.

Tyrosine is an amino acid found in meat proteins. Your body uses it as a starting material to make several neurotransmitters (chemicals that help the brain and nervous system function). Based on this fact, tyrosine has been proposed as a treatment for various conditions in which mental function is impaired or slowed down, such as fatigue and depression. It has also been tried for attention deficit disorder (ADD).
Your body makes tyrosine from another common amino acid, phenylalanine , so deficiencies are rare; however, they can occur in certain forms of severe kidney disease as well as in phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder that requires complete avoidance of phenylalanine.
Good sources of tyrosine include dairy products, meats, fish, and beans.
Therapeutic Dosages
The typical therapeutic dosage of tyrosine used in studies ranges from 7 g to 30 g daily.
Therapeutic Uses
Preliminary evidence, including small, double-blind trials, suggests that tyrosine supplements may help fight fatigue and improve memory and mental function in people who are deprived of sleep or exposed to other forms of stress . 1,10,12
Based on the findings, mentioned in the above paragraph, it has been inferred that tyrosine might enhance alertness in people suffering from jet lag , but this has not been studied directly.
Tyrosine may also provide some temporary benefit for attention deficit disorder (ADD) , but the benefits appear to wear off in a couple of weeks. 2,3,4 Tyrosine is said to work better for this purpose when it is combined in an "amino acid cocktail" along with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), phenylalanine , and glutamine ; however, there is no scientific evidence to support this use.
Although one extremely tiny study found tyrosine helpful for depression ; 5 a larger study found no evidence of benefit. 6
Tyrosine has also been suggested for enhancing sports performance . However, in a double-blind study of 20 men, one-time use of tyrosine at a dose 150 mg per kilogram body weight failed to improve any measurement of muscular performance. 11
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Tyrosine?
Sleep Deprivation
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study that enrolled 20 US Marines suggests that tyrosine can improve mental alertness during periods of sleep deprivation. 7 In this study, the participants were deprived of sleep for a night and then tested frequently for their alertness throughout the day as they worked. Compared to placebo, 10 g to 15 g of tyrosine given twice daily seemed to provide a "pick-up" for about 2 hours.
Similar benefits were seen with 2 g of tyrosine daily in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 21 military cadets exposed to physical and psychological stress. 10
A pilot study that enrolled 9 individuals is widely quoted as proving that tyrosine can help depression. 8 However, this study was too small to provide reliable results. A subsequent double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 65 people with depression failed to find any benefit. 9
Safety Issues
Tyrosine seems to be generally safe, though at high dosages some people have reported nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or nervousness. As with any other supplement taken in multigram doses, it is important to use a high-quality product; even a very small percentage of contaminant in the product might add up to a dangerous amount.
Maximum safe dosages for young children, women who are pregnant or nursing, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.

The Road to KDE 4: CMake, a New Build System for KDE
When a project with the size and scope of KDE gets to be as big as it is, sometimes changing a decision established almost a decade earlier is very difficult. KDE has relied on autotools to build most of the project since its inception, but for the last year, KDE 4 has been building with CMake, a newer build system that is rapidly becoming a heavyweight contender in the world of buildsystems. Read on for more...
This article focuses on CMake, which is not actually part of KDE, but is developed independently by Kitware and a team of open source developers. It is released under a BSD-style license. I can't really show much in the way of screenshots for a build system, but I will do my best to explain why CMake has been a welcome change to the KDE development process.
But before we talk about CMake, a little history lesson about KDE and autotools. KDE has used Qt since the beginning, and one of the nice features of Qt is the meta-object compiler (moc). Autotools had to be extended to support using moc as a pre-processor for most of KDE's header files. That was only the beginning though, as KDE developers wrote the ground-breaking DCOP communication protocol which also had the side effect of adding more types of files that had to be autogenerated during the build process. The developers added document compilers, tools that automatically handled translations, and tools that compiled configuration file classes from XML: Qt's User Interface compiler (for .ui files) was born and needed to be supported by the build system. They also needed to add a whole suite of new configure checks, options, etc. to support all of the features that KDE was using. The KDE build system was evolving into a very complex animal, and using autotools did not scale well.
By the KDE 3 series, there were only a select handful of elite build gurus who could understand the whole of KDE's build system. KDE developers had trouble even moving things from one folder to another without having to spend hours tweaking build files to get it to compile again. And in some cases, starting an independent KDE project meant shipping up to 500 KiB of autotools support files for even a simple 'hello world' type application.
Something obviously had to be done for KDE 4 to improve this situation, and at an Akademy 2005 meeting, it was decided to explore other build system options. Initially, SCons was prototyped for building KDE, but it was slow going, and after several months of work it still did not handle kdelibs well enough to dump autotools. One of the bigger problems with SCons was its lack of modularity.
So, as is often the case with KDE, he who codes, decides: Alexander Neundorf stepped in and did the initial port to CMake which went very smoothly, and he did so with the support of the CMake developers. It took only a few weeks to get much of KDE building smoothly using CMake, and autotools was finally dumped!
The CMake developers have been very supportive of KDE's transition. They even joined KDE's buildsystem mailing list to help out. This relationship has been beneficial to both projects. When KDE started to really stress the capabilities of the still-maturing CMake system, KDE developers started a dialogue with them suggesting improvements - and they were happy for the feedback. As a result, CMake has seen improvements that are beneficial to all projects using the buildsystem.
Our working relationship aside, CMake has greatly improved the process of building KDE. Projects using CMake take less time to get started, since there is less time spent fighting with the build system. One KDE developer says, "CMake doesn't make you want to shoot yourself with a nailgun when building your project anymore."
The way CMake works is by processing an easy to read file called 'CMakeLists.txt' which the developer adds to their source folder. When you run the 'cmake' command, it looks for this file, and based on its contents, it generates Makefiles (on UNIX), or using a command-line switch it can generate XCode project files so you can build Mac applications using OS X's XCode developer tools, or using yet another command, it can even generate MSVC projects from your sources. One of the best KDE-related features of CMake is that it can automatically generate KDevelop project files based on the same 'CMakeLists.txt' used to generate the Makefiles.
KDE's code (with a few exceptions) was already pretty portable, however it was nearly impossible to build KDE on systems like Windows, where autotools was not as well suited. Now much of KDE's improved platform support is thanks to the ease of building on these systems (And of course, Qt being available as GPL on these systems).
In KDE 3.x, building KDE using the recommended methods looked something like this:
% ./configure --prefix=/foo --enable-debug
As you can tell, this is pretty standard autotools-style building, except that the scripts which controlled the build process are pretty hard to understand.
With CMake, there are some syntax changes (which may actually be less obvious than the old, familiar configure switches), but the commands are mostly the same.
% cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/foo \
This syntax does not look like a huge improvement, but looks can be deceiving.
CMake searches for dependencies several times faster than the './configure' process did. CMake builds KDE 4's kdelibs about 40% faster than autotools build KDE 3.5.6's kdelibs, mostly due to a lack of libtool in the toolchain for CMake. The CMake toolchain (for UNIX) looks something like: cmake + make, whereas the autotools chain for KDE 3.5.6 looked something like: automake + autoconf + libtool + make + sh + perl + m4.
I'm going to rely on some of my own personal experiences here to help explain how much easier CMake is to use: Aaron Seigo asked for some help to port some of kdesktop's components into krunner so that kdesktop could finally be killed off in the KDE 4 tree. This is the sort of task that I would not have attempted to tackle in the KDE 3.x tree, not because the code was any harder, but because the build system was so difficult to deal with. In all likelihood, I would not have volunteered for such a task for KDE 3, but with KDE 4 and CMake, after moving the code around and doing some class renaming and such, I smoothly inserted the ported code into the build system, modifying only two or three lines of krunner's CMake build files. It built after a few minutes, and linked and installed. I was so impressed that I've kept contributing porting help. In KDE 3, I probably would have been stumped by the build system (not the actual KDE code) and given up, not bothering to commit my code to KDE SVN.
This only goes to show that the build gurus of KDE can worry a lot less these days, as anyone can get their projects up and running. Your milage may vary, but many developers have expressed similar feelings when dealing with the 'CMakeLists.txt' syntax vs. 'autotools'. However, almost all of the KDE developers would now be considered CMake newbies. The CMake developers have been personally involved in ensuring that KDE's transition is as smooth as possible.
The switch to CMake isn't the first time KDE has changed one of the technologies central to its development. When KDE was younger, we used CVS to control access to the sources. Maintenance of the CVS server was not scaling well as KDE was growing, amassing enormous amounts of code dating back to its original commits. Subversion (SVN) offerred a promising new revision control system that was a better fit for what KDE needed to accomplish, and was easier on our servers. At the time, however, no project the size of KDE had migrated to SVN, and it was a real test for the Subversion software. But KDE and SVN have been a pretty good fit, and since KDE migrated, many other projects have since followed in its footsteps.
KDE's use of CMake has helped to raise the public profile of the buildsystem, much like how the switch to Subversion helped their profile. Other projects have been switching to CMake too, including (but not limited to): Scribus, Rosegarden (switched from SCons), PlPlot, ChickenScheme, and more. There is also work being done to support building KDE 3.x programs using CMake (KPilot for KDE 3 can build using CMake, for example). Projects looking for an easier way to build whilst adding support for more platforms should give CMake a try. Adding a 'CMakeLists.txt' file to your sources does not interfere with your project's existing build system and can give you a good overview of what CMake can do for you. And, like KDE, if there's something it cannot handle, the CMake team is very open to improvements.

Great Article as useuall.
And I was just wondering if there is any plan for a road to kde4 about Kmail?
By ben at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
I've seen several blogs about a new mail program called Mailody. Where does this fit in with KMail?
By matt at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
As far as I know, the kmail +/- mailody situation for KDE 4 has not been decided. However, it will be decided in a friendly manner as all of the developers involved are on extremely good terms :) When this decision is made, I'll likely write about it (especially if the decision is to move to mailody).
By Troy Unrau at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
currently Mailody only supports imap (unless things have changed recently) which means at this stage at least it is not a complete replacement for kmail.
By Danni Coy at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
True for now. However so far the code for Mailody appears much cleaner, which gives us hope that we can add all the features kmail has, AND in the process fix a lot of bugs. Most likely we can also add a few feature requests that people want.
By Henry Miller at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
And get a better name, just needs a K in it.
Re: Great Article, and a question
Please no random K's!
Although Mailody isn't that great a name either.
By Tim at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
And what's wrong with Mailody? its a nice querky pun. KMailody or Mailody-K would be a great name for the official client.
Re: Great Article, and a question
> And what's wrong with Mailody? its a nice querky pun.
you nearly answered you're own question ;) quirky puns are neat, but also suck for apps. personally i like "cool names" for infrastructure (different audience, different use case) but really like straight forward names for apps (generally easier for users).
and rather unfortunately in this case, the name when spoken sounds rather close to this english word:
the feature set and quality is slightly more important, though
By Aaron J. Seigo at Fri, 2007/02/23 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
You really underestimate users, and the menu. In KDE3.5 it will have something like "Konversation IRC clinet". Any user can figure out that E-mail will either be in internet or perhaps office, and by checking both work out that _mail_ody Mail Clinet is probobly an E-mail program.
User's who can't will never find anyhting without a tutuor so don't bother trying to make it understandable to them, as the saying goes "If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it."
By ben at Fri, 2007/02/23 - 6:00am
Re: Great Article, and a question
honestly, with the name and the icon, for Mailody is some kind of programs to send music throught internet :/

Re: CMakeLists.txt?
Yes... did I make a typo that needs to be fixed?
By Troy Unrau at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
CMAKE flags
I personally think the:
% cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/foo \
Syntax is clumsy. It's just not how other UNIX tools work. Double dash for words and single dash for letters works for stacks of other GNU utilities, so why not cmake?
Please, at least the final release of KDE4, consider wrapping cmake with something that supports the legacy syntax. "prefix" is much easier to remember than "DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX".
Just my 2p.

Re: CMAKE flags
A couple of points:
By Brad Hards at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: CMAKE flags
Even if it's not only a *nix tool, the syntax is still clumsy. And it sure does not look like the usual Windows command line tools either, so that point is rather moot.
I'd say it's plain stupid, and it's really bad interfacedesign. It looks like they change from a well known and familiar interface/syntax just to be different. Adding the fact that the other way is easier to read/remember and shorter to type, usability wise that's make really no sense at all.
By Morty at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: CMAKE flags
Yeah, but in all honesty no build system is perfect. The syntax is a little clumsier than ./configure was, but the benefits far outweight this one problem.
Actually, on my system I took that command and created a bash alias, so I now just type 'cmakekde /path/to/source' and it automatically fills in the variables. Of course, if I wanted to redefine the variables (to turn off debug, for example), I'd now have to edit my .bashrc file.
By Troy Unrau at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: CMAKE flags
Have you actually used it?
Also, see previous comment on providing potential fixes instead of complaining.
There is another alternative too - use ccmake.
By Brad Hards at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: CMAKE flags
like said --prefix= --libdir= is smarter and not just easier but makes more semce. using ccmake is ok I guess for people, that love to just do make make install . not packaging it up etc . But the fact is to ./configure -help and you can see all the . Where is the help for this in cmake to know what replaces --prefix= . took me a lot of reading to find out how stupiod it is to do all this extra work . take wath made more sence and easy to remmeber etc . the list goes on. CFLAGS= CXXFLAGS= CC and how about if I'm running my x86-64 kernel and I could add --build=arch-blah-linux(-gnu for some) so it uses the right arch when compiling . way to many reason not to like cmake . it horrible
By oneforall at Mon, 2007/09/03 - 5:00am
Re: CMAKE flags
The syntax is similar to the gcc syntax. I would expect any KDE developer would be used to commands like "gcc -dFOO -dBAR -i../include " and so on for 5 lines. Most of the code I've compiled ends up with command lines like that. Of course make takes care of it, so you don't have to pay attention too often.
By Hank Miller at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: CMAKE flags
To the dude complaining about the flags...
First get a grip. THIS IS A CROSS-PLATFORM TOOL. What that means is that 'tools' that use other platforms will be using it. No matter *how* the switches were set up it would either be not windows-like or not unix-like so tough, get over it.
But the more important fact is that if you are seriously doing a large cross-platform project with lots of folks from different platforms, the differences do indeed wind up 'wrapped' on each platform so CMake (or whatever you are using; we use both that and Bakefile on a daily basis) feels like a batch file on Windows (bleh) and it acts like make on unix. This is the way things sort out in the real world.
The other thing to really get a grip on though is if you are doing cross-platform development of any complexity, you are will have *far* more critical things to worry about than the syntactical style of the make system.
This too is a freebie from the Real World (tm).
Having used CMake for years (well, two) and Bakefile for nearly as long they both have their strengths and weaknesses. On unix I can set up a new CMake project faster than I can in Bakefile but bakefile gives me some nice configuration options that CMake does not, not the least of which is a more standard project file format (XML vs whatever CMake is).
But both are excellent projects and KDE would do well by either one. I know it has saved us TONs of time and work...

Re: CMAKE flags
Nobody said anything about CMAKE being bad. This isn't a parade against CMAKE per se.
I simply believe that it uses bizarre flags for no really good technical reason. I even suggested that CMAKE need not be changed, just wrap it.
The point is, it's fine saying to people you've switched from autotools -- I don't think _anybody_ really knows how they work -- but at least try to reduce the learning curve involved with using CMAKE, or fix CMAKE.
Other "cross platform tools", like Trolltech's offerings, don't suck like this. It's absolutely no excuse.

Re: CMAKE flags
well considering I crosscompiled with make I'd say it is allready and cross platform too. Plus I cmpile 32bit on my 64it os that I yes crosscompiled. cmake is not easier at all its just made compiling worse . --prefix= is a heck of a lot smarter and simpler and makes more sence that -DCAMKE_....forgot the rest and no wonder. ./configure -help . I don't think your blind to what thats a 1000 times betrer for cmake umm O.o no idea spent hrs allready trying to find out whats it uses to replace --prefix= --libdir= . got those and man they are sick . still haven't founf out about CFLAGS CXXFLAGS CC and when i need to do LDFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH arch-blah-lunux(-gnu for some distros) to make sure it uses um eg; i486 on my 64bit OS . Thats only a few of the horribleness of cmake and to make packages . I patch and edited configure to remove hard coded stuff like /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 etc. But cmake makes them look more peacefull an much better

Re: CMAKE flags
For KDE4, you can add:
function cmakekde { cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR \
to your .bashrc, then compiling KDE is even easier. Then a simple `cmakekde ../kdegames` (for example) from the kdegames-build directory. CMake greatly reduces the barriers to entry for developing KDE, and lets me focus on coding rather than on an incomprehensible (imo) auto* build system.
See http://developernew.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Unstable_Version for details.
KDE is *far* easier to compile than it used to be. Long live CMake!

Re: CMAKE flags
Locally I have a patch for cmake which (almost) does this, it let's you define "shortcuts" for the original cmake variable switches (e.g. you can put something like "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = prefix" in some config file and then cmake will translate "--prefix" to "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=".
But I hope to be able to make it work before KDE 4.0

Re: CMAKE flags
Agreed. I have similar problems when compiling a Qt or Python app. I'm suddenly a compile-newbie again. How about providing a ./configure wrapper script? It could translate the --prefix stuff to cmake commands, or at least inform the users about the correct syntax. There are more projects that provide a configure wrapper for user-friendliness reasons, KDE doesn't have to be an exception here.

There are auto-updates?
Hi all,
I'm quite new to KDE and I wanted to know if there are auto-updates. I mean, if I use KDE 4.01, and then appears KDE 4.02, will it be notified and my system updated? If such feature exists, does it work for all KDE apps?
Sorry for my ignorance, but this is an important topic for me.
By David at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: There are auto-updates?
Your question would more appropriately directed to users of a distro of your choice. While KDE will not tell you of an updated release, they're not really in a position to. That would more properly be a function of a distros package management system.
By Sean Brown at Wed, 2007/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: There are auto-updates?
So that would be a "no" to the original question.
KDE does not have an auto-update feature like the one found in recent Mozilla Firefoxes.
KDE follows the tradition of letting the Linux distribution (SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora etc.) decide how to handle updates.

Re: There are auto-updates?
Offtopic but interesting idea out of this thread:
* mozilla autoupdates are useful on windows
-> there needs to be some sort of free software distribution mechanism on windows, like apt.

Re: There are auto-updates?
actually there is some work going on on a Windows KDE installer/manager, which might indeed do this in some way.
By superstoned at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: There are auto-updates?
As others pointed already out there is no need for this on Linux/Unix as we already have such systems which do exactly what you want for every application you have installed.
On Windows for example I am always deeply annoyed when 5 programs tell me after system startup "Hello user there is a new hot cool update for me, I am so cute please update me." One central application where different vendors can queue their software repositories and which would allow you to update the whole system with one mouse click would greatly enhance security and usability on Windows. But honestly I am really lucky that MS did spend billions of Dollars but still did forget even the most basic things and that they still love their unstable and slow browser based update system. So Windows including the newest version actually looks like stoneage to me. :p
But beside that there even is a KDE program called Get-hot-new-stuff (see: http://www.kstuff.org/ ). It allows you to share and search for new application data for your system (for example new document templates, new wallpapers, new game levels...).

Re: There are auto-updates?
A distro like kubuntu has a way to do this for all of your system with a nice system-tray item stating there are things to update. No need for KDE to reinvent that wheel.
By Thomas Zander at Thu, 2007/02/22 - 6:00am
Re: There are auto-updates?
Updating packages (including the various pieces that make up KDE) is more the responsibility of the operating system on which KDE is running (at least on *nix operating systems).
Having said that, there are various KDE applications which act as front-ends to the various OS-specific package systems. These provide eg. icons in your tray that pop up when updates are available, offering some way to perform the upgrade. Here are some examples to get you started:
(OS - Tool - URL)
It's not a bad situation because these tools update everything on the system (and sometimes the system itself, too), not just KDE. The few I have personal experience with have been easy to use. For example I've got my mum running Kubuntu (which uses Adept) - she's essentially computer illiterate but has no problem keeping the system up-to-date.
By macro at Fri, 2007/02/23 - 6:00am
Re: There are auto-updates?
This is indeed something that your distribution should do for you. Personally i have Gentoo and just run "emerge --sync&&emerge -uDNf world&&emerge -uDNtav world" once in a while. (I do not even have to type it every time, I just press Ctrl+R and type "sync", then the command comes back.) But if you want notifications directly from KDE, kde-announce is what you are looking for (see [http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/]).

Galactorrhea is a discharge of milk-like substance from the breast that is not associated with breastfeeding. This condition mainly occurs in women. It does occur in men and may even occur in infants, but much less commonly. The milky white discharge can come from 1 or both breasts, and the breast may leak fluid with or without stimulation.
Galactorrhea has many causes, though sometimes the cause is unknown. Excess prolactin, a hormone that stimulates milk production, is often the cause of galactorrhea. Tumors of the pituitary gland, called pituitary adenomas or prolactinomas, can cause excess prolactin production. The pituitary is a small gland attached to the brain. Pituitary tumors are usually not cancerous.
Other causes of galactorrhea include:
Medications, such as:
- Some pain relievers
- Birth control pills or other hormones
- Anti-nausea drugs
- Certain blood pressure drugs
- Some antigastroesophageal reflux medications
- Certain psychiatric medications
- Herbs, such as :
- Illicit drugs, such as marijuana and opioids
- Stimulation of the breast
- Certain diseases, such as underactive or overactive thyroid, and chronic kidney failure, or liver disease
- Chronic emotional stress
- Hypothalamic tumors or disease
Chest wall conditions, such as:
- Shingles
- Trauma
- Burns
- Surgical scars
- Tumors of chest wall
- In newborns, high levels of circulating maternal estrogen may result in enlarged breast tissue and secretion of milk
Risk Factors
Galactorrhea is more common in women. Other factors that may increase your chance of galactorrhea include:
- Stress
- Wearing clothing that irritates the nipple
- Frequent breast self-exam or frequent breast stimulation
The primary symptom is a milky discharge from the nipple that is not associated with breast-feeding. The discharge can come from 1 or both breasts. Other symptoms that can occur along with the discharge include:
- Enlargement of the breast tissue
- Abnormal or absent menstruation
- Delayed puberty
- Loss of sex drive
- Impotence in men
- Inability to conceive a child
- Nausea or vomiting
- Headaches
- Acne or abnormal hair growth
- Visual difficulties
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- A sample of the breast discharge to look at under a microscope
- Blood tests to check hormone levels
- Pregnancy test
- Imaging tests to check for a pituitary gland tumor in the brain:
If the discharge is not milky or contains blood, then this is not galactorrhea. Other tests must be done to check for breast cancer or other disorders.
Treatment depends on the cause. In some cases, no medical treatment is necessary, and the condition will go away on its own. In these cases, breast binders that prevent stimulation of the nipples may be effective. If medications are identified as the potential cause, safe alternatives should be sought.
If an underlying cause for galactorrhea, such as a pituitary tumor, is found, this condition may be treated.
To reduce your chance of galactorrhea:
- Avoid wearing clothing that irritates the breast.
- Avoid frequent breast self-exam; usually once a month is enough.
- Avoid excessive sexual stimulation of the breasts.
- Do not use illicit drugs.

Brass Ring Kickoff
Judy McNeil had plenty to do the morning of the Brass Ring Luncheon's kickoff party. Reminding everyone to get out and sell those tickets wasn't on the list.
Though the benefit for the Children's Diabetes Foundation at Denver isn't until Nov. 19, all seats already have been sold.
The kickoff party held at Saks Fifth Avenue in Cherry Creek was coordinated by Sharon Whiton Gelt and featured a brunch catered by the Marriott City Center and fall fashion preview from Saks. A party to thank patron-level supporters and sponsors will be held Oct. 7 at the Loews Denver Hotel.
Sally Newcomb, president of the sponsoring Guild of The Children's Diabetes Foundation, reminded guests that this is The Guild's 30th anniversary year and introduced Tom Sattler, whose Sattler Homes has built the High Hopes Show Home in Ravenna with proceeds earmarked for the foundation. The home opens on Friday and will be available for tours every weekend through Oct. 26. Additional information is available by calling Susie at the CDF office, 303-628-5109. Sandy Alpert is The Guild's liaison to the show house.
Gretchen Pope and Sally Frerichs are in charge of the auction to be conducted at the Brass Ring Luncheon and announced that items will include a miniature house, valued at $11,000; an English saddle, donated by Dianne Bartlett; and mah jongg lessons with lunch.
Saks Fifth Avenue is the Brass Ring's fashion sponsor, and the 85 kickoff guests got a first look at what's new for fall, courtesy of fashion director Cynthia Petrus and store manager Kay Cline.
"Fall looks absolutely wonderful," Petrus observed, noting that key wardrobe pieces would be boots, top-handle purses, slacks and suits.
Guests included Patty Jenkins, Debbie Gradishar, Jessie Ketter, Nancy Cowee, Helen Hanks, Diane Sweat, Eunice Romano, Pat Crofts, Janyce Wald, Carol Karsh, Judy Chiodo and daughter Shelley Lucas, Sharon Kamen, Chris Yaros, Kristina Davidson, Marsha Duemke, Celeste McNeil, Bonita Carson, Jamie Angelich, Gail Johnson, Connie Genova and Deb Smith.

Fight brews over Riverside Park playground gear
New London - There's a fight a-brewing at Riverside Park, the long-neglected city park that was almost sold to the Coast Guard Academy two years ago.
Plastic playground equipment is dividing those who once stood side by side to keep the 18-acre park open to the public.
A contingent of residents who spoke passionately and often against the sale, is now behind a movement to relocate used playground equipment there. On the other side, are those who fought equally as hard to save the park but want to finish a study of the park - and the surrounding area - before deciding what to put on the grounds.
"A lot of people worked very hard to save this park,'' Wayne Vendetto said Monday during a City Council committee meeting. "I can't wait to see the best possible playscape possible at Riverside Park. But plans take money and plans take time. We need a playscape now."
The city has some equipment that is at portable classrooms on Cedar Grove Avenue, which are no longer in use. The plastic equipment could be moved to Riverside, where rusted metal swings and seesaws were taken down two years ago. The Public Works Department has estimated the project would cost about $56,000. Vendetto maintains the cost could be far less.
Cathi Strother, whose property borders the park, wants to hold off on improvements until after New London Landmarks completes its study. And there is already a playground at nearby Winthrop School, she said, which neighbors now use.
"We want a playscape, but not yet,'' said Strother, who is secretary of Riverside Park Conservancy. "Our goal is to have a unique play area."
On Monday, the Education, Parks & Recreation Committee asked the Parks and Recreation Commission to look into the playground equipment debate and report back. They also asked the commission to look at lowering the cost of the project.
"I'm worried if we delay this issue, we won't have a playscape in the park for years,'' said Councilor Anthony Nolan, chairman of the Education, Parks & Recreation Committee. "I'm for that park getting a playscape as soon as possible."
"You're only 6 years old for one year,'' agreed Councilor Donald Macrino.
Sandra Chalk, executive director of Landmarks, said her group is discussing all kinds of ideas for the park and questioned if the city should be spending money it doesn't have. A meeting is expected to be held Feb. 13 at Winthrop School to discuss the project.
"We want something that will bring people to the park. Something unique,'' she said Monday. But she added that if the city can find the "right spot" for the playground "perhaps they can put something in right away."
Kathleen Mitchell, who quit the Riverside Conservancy months ago after a difference of opinion with other members on the future of the park, wants the city to act immediately.
"There are still thousands of families and children who want a playscape, now,'' she told the council last week. "The city has spent a million dollars on a Bates Woods parking lot and more on Calkins Park. All Riverside is asking for is a lousy used playscape."

Because researchers have such a limited understanding of the cause of Parkinson's disease, there are no current guidelines to reduce your risk of developing it.
Some studies have suggested that certain factors can lower your risk of Parkinson's disease. Examples include:
- Having a higher caffeine intake
- Having a higher intake of vitamin E and nuts
- Having a higher intake of unsaturated fatty acids
- Using of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Eating a Mediterranean diet, which includes plant foods (for example, fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, seeds), olive oil, and fish
- Regularly engaging in moderate to vigorous exercise
However, these were observational studies. They do not prove a cause and effect relationship for preventing Parkinson's disease. Talk to your doctor before making any changes to your diet or taking any new medication. The side effects may outweigh any potential benefits.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a surgery for obesity . It changes the stomach and small intestine to cause weight loss by:
- Restricting food intake—creates a small pouch to serve as the stomach, so you cannot eat as much
- Making the body unable to absorb as many calories from the food—bypasses the first part of the small intestine, where many of the calories from food are usually absorbed
Reasons for Procedure
The surgery treats severe obesity. A calculation called body mass index ( BMI ) is used to determine how overweight or obese you are. A normal BMI is 18.5-25.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a weight loss option for people with:
- BMI greater than 40
- BMI 35-39.9 and a life-threatening condition or severe physical limitations that affect employment, movement, and family life
The success of gastric bypass surgery depends on your commitment to lifelong health habits. If lifestyle changes are made and maintained, the benefits of bariatric surgery include:
- Long-term weight reduction
- Improvement in many obesity-related conditions
- Improved movement and stamina
- Enhanced mood, self-esteem, and quality of life
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Hernia formation
- Bowel obstruction
- Breakdown of the staples, allowing leakage of stomach juices into the abdomen
- Diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and vomiting
- Dumping syndrome—This occurs after eating sweets, when food moves too quickly through the small intestine causing sweating, fatigue, lightheadedness, cramping, and diarrhea
- Complications of general anesthesia
- Death
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Each bariatric surgery program has specific requirements. Your program will likely include the following:
- Thorough physical exam and review of medical history
- Ongoing consultations with a registered dietitian
- Mental health evaluation and counseling
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
- Do not start taking any new medications, herbs, or supplements without talking to your doctor.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home as you recover.
- You may be asked to take antibiotics before coming to the hospital.
- You may be asked to take laxatives and/or do an enema to clear your intestines.
- The night before your surgery, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Shower or bathe the morning of your surgery.
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep.
Description of Procedure
To prepare you for surgery, an IV will be placed in your arm. You will receive fluids and medications through this line during the procedure. A breathing tube will be placed through your mouth and into your throat. This will help you breathe during surgery. You will also have a catheter placed in your bladder to drain urine.
An 8-10 inch incision will be made to open the abdomen. Surgical staples will be used to create a small pouch at the top of your stomach. This pouch, which can hold about 1 cup of food, will be your new, smaller stomach. A normal stomach can hold 4-6 cups of food.
Next, the small intestine will be cut and attached to the new pouch. With the intestinal bypass, food will now move from the new stomach pouch to the middle section of the small intestine. It will skip the lower stomach and the upper section of the small intestine.
Finally, the upper section of the small intestine will be attached to the middle section of the small intestine. This will allow fluid that the lower stomach makes to move down the upper section of the small intestine and into the middle section.
When the bypass is completed, the incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
After Procedure
You will be taken to the recovery area for monitoring. You will also be given pain medication.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 2-5 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
- Pain medication will be given as needed.
Your diet:
- On the day of surgery—You will not be given food or drinks.
On the day after surgery—You will have an
x-ray of the upper GI tract
to check for leaks from the stomach pouch. For this test, you will drink a special liquid while x-rays are taken.
- If the x-ray is normal, you will be given 30 milliliters (mL) of liquids every 20 minutes.
- If leaks are found, you will receive nutrition through an IV until the leaks are fixed.
- On the second day after surgery—You will take 1-2 tablespoons of pureed food or 1-2 ounces of liquids every 20 minutes.
While in the hospital, you may be asked to do the following:
- Use an incentive spirometer to help you take deep breaths. This helps prevent lung problems.
- Wear elastic surgical stockings or boots to promote blood flow in your legs.
- Get up and walk daily.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. Keep in mind after your surgery:
- Do not lift anything heavy until your doctor tells you it is safe. This may be up 2 weeks or more.
- You may have emotional changes after this surgery. Your doctor may refer you to a therapist.
Your new stomach is the size of a small egg. It is slow to empty, causing you to feel full quickly. Therefore, you need to eat very small amounts and eat very slowly:
- You will begin with 4-6 meals per day. A meal is two ounces of food.
- For the first 4-6 weeks after surgery, all food must be pureed.
- When you move to solid foods, they must be chewed well.
- When making food choices, you will need to consume enough protein.
- Avoid sweets and fatty foods.
- Eating too much or too quickly can cause vomiting or intense pain under your breastbone. Most people quickly learn how much food they can eat.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Worsening abdominal pain
- Blood in the stool
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
- Pain or swelling in your feet, calves or legs
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

This test uses sound waves to study the urinary system. The urinary system includes the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. Ureters are the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder.
Reasons for Test
The test is done to look for:
- Changes in the kidneys, bladder, and ureters
- Changes in kidney size or structure
- Kidney stone —cyst, mass, or other obstruction in the kidney
- Stones in the urinary tract
- Changes in the ureters
The test is also done to look at:
- Kidneys before doing a renal biopsy , which removes tissue from the kidney for examination
- Blood flow to the kidneys using a Doppler ultrasound
What to Expect
Prior to Test
- Your doctor may do a physical exam.
- You must have a full bladder for the test. Do not empty your bladder until after the ultrasound.
Description of Test
You will lie on a table. A gel will be put on your belly over your bladder and kidneys. The gel helps the sound waves travel between the machine and your body.
The ultrasound machine has a hand-held instrument called a transducer. It looks like a microphone or wand. The transducer is pushed against your skin where the gel was applied. The transducer sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off your internal organs and echo back to the transducer. The echoes are converted into images that are shown on a screen. The images are examined. A photograph of them may be made.
After Test
The gel will be wiped from your belly.
How Long Will It Take?
30-45 minutes
Will It Hurt?
Your images will be viewed by your doctor or radiologist. Problems in your organs may be detected. Blockages may be seen in the ureters. In this case, more tests may be done to find the exact problem and cause.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if you have any questions about the test, your condition, or your test results.
