More than 200 plant species belong to the genus Valeriana, but the one most commonly used as an herb is Valeriana officinalis. The root is used for medicinal purposes.
Galen recommended valerian for insomnia in the second century AD. From the sixteenth century onward, this herb became popular as a sedative in Europe (and later, the United States). Scientific studies on valerian in humans began in the 1970s, leading to its approval as a sleep aid by Germany's Commission E in 1985. However, the scientific evidence showing that valerian really works remains incomplete.
As with most herbs, we are not exactly sure which ingredients in valerian are most important. 1,2 Early research focused on a group of chemicals known as valepotriates, but they are no longer considered candidates. A constituent called valerenic acid has also undergone study, but its role is far from clear. Another substance in valerian, called linarin, has also attracted research interest. 51
Our understanding of how valerian might function remains similarly incomplete. Several studies suggest that valerian affects GABA, a naturally occurring amino acid that appears to be related to the experience of anxiety. 3-6 Conventional tranquilizers in the Valium family are known to bind to GABA receptors in the brain, and valerian may work similarly. However, there are some significant flaws in these hypotheses, and the reality is that we don't really know how valerian works (or if, indeed, it really does). 7,8
What Is Valerian Used for Today?
Valerian is commonly recommended as a mild treatment for occasional insomnia . However, evidence from the best positive study on valerian suggests that it is only useful when taken over an extended period of time for chronic sleep disorders. 9 Overall, it is not clear whether valerian is effective for sleep at all. 64
Like other treatments used for insomnia, valerian has also been proposed as a treatment for anxiety , but there is no reliable evidence as yet that it is effective.
Finally, valerian is sometimes suggested as a treatment for a nervous stomach; however, as of yet, there is no supporting scientific evidence for this use.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Valerian?
Overall, the evidence supporting valerian as a sleep aid remains substantially incomplete and contradictory. 61 A systematic review published in 2007 concluded that valerian is probably not effective for treating insomnia. 64 And in a subsequent review of 18 randomized trials, researchers found that people who took valerian did report an improvement in their sleep, but this finding was not supported by more objective measures of sleep quality. 67
However, there have been some positive results, both with valerian alone and valerian combined with other herbs.
The best positive study of valerian for insomnia followed 121 people for 28 days. 10 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, half of the participants took 600 mg of an alcohol-based valerian extract 1 hour before bedtime, while the other half took placebo. Valerian didn't work right away. For the first couple of weeks, valerian and placebo were running neck and neck. However, by day 28, valerian pulled far ahead. Effectiveness was rated as good or very good by participant evaluation in 66% of the valerian group and in 61% by doctor evaluation, whereas in the placebo group, only 29% were so rated by participants and doctors.
Although positive, these results are a bit confusing. In another large study, valerian was immediately more effective than placebo, which is more in keeping with how the herb is typically used. This trial followed 128 subjects who had no sleeping problems. 11 On nine nonconsecutive nights, each participant took one of three treatments: valerian, a combination of valerian and the herb hops , or placebo. The results showed that on the nights they took valerian alone, participants fell asleep faster than when they were taking placebo, or the combination. In contradiction to this, other studies have failed to find any immediate mental depressant effects with valerian; most substances that rapidly induce sleep also sedate the mind. 45,46
Furthermore, the more recent and best designed studies have generally failed to find valerian more helpful at all. 47,54,64,66 One of these was a 4-week study in which 135 people were given valerian and 135 given placebo. 56 Another was a two-week study of 405 people which found "modest benefits at most [italics added]." 65
A 6-week, double-blind study of 202 people with insomnia compared valerian extract (600 mg at bedtime) with the standard drug oxazepam (10 mg at bedtime) and found equal efficacy. 53 Equivalent benefits were also seen in similar study of 75 people. 13 However, the absence of a placebo group in these two studies decreases the reliability of the results.
A study of 184 people tested a standardized combination of valerian and hops, with mixed results. 63 Researchers tested quite a few aspects of sleep (such as time to fall asleep, length of sleep, number of awakenings) and found evidence of benefit in only a few. This use of "multiple outcome measures" makes the results somewhat unreliable.
A much smaller study also found evidence that a combination of hops and valerian extract is more effective as a sleep aid than placebo; the results of this trial also hint that hops plus valerian is more effective than valerian alone, but this possible finding did not reach statistical significance. 62
A double-blind comparative study that enrolled 46 patients compared the effects of the standard drug bromazepam to a mixture of valerian and hops with either treatment taken one-half hour before bed. 14 The results suggest that the two treatments were equally effective. One study found that this valerian-hops combination can antagonize the arousal produced by caffeine. 48
A combination of valerian and lemon balm has also been tried for insomnia. A rather poorly designed 30-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 98 individuals without insomnia found marginal evidence that a valerian-lemon balm combination improved sleep quality as compared to placebo. 15 However, a double-blind crossover study of 20 people with insomnia compared the benefits of the sleeping drug Halcion (0.125 mg) against placebo and a combination of valerian and lemon balm, and failed to find the herb effective. 16 The drug, however, did prove effective.
Valerian has shown some promise for helping people sleep better after discontinuing conventional sleeping pills in the benzodiazepine family. 43
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 36 people with generalized anxiety disorder were given either valerian extract, Valium, or placebo for a period of 4 weeks. 44 The study failed to find statistically significant differences between the groups, presumably due to its small size.
Valerian has also been tested for possible benefits during stressful circumstances. Two preliminary double-blind studies found weak evidence that valerian may produce calming effects in induced stressful situations. 17,58 Another study evaluated the effects of a combination containing valerian and lemon balm taken in various doses. 59 Some benefits were seen with doses of 600 mg or 1200 mg three times daily, but the highest dose (1,800 mg 3x daily) actually appeared to increase anxiety symptoms during a stressful situation. Furthermore, people taking the herbal treatment at any dose showed slightly decreased cognitive function as compared to those given placebo.
For insomnia, the standard adult dosage of valerian is 2 g to 3 g of dried herb, 270 mg to 450 mg of an aqueous valerian extract, or 600 mg of an ethanol extract, taken 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. 23 The same amount, or a reduced dose, can be taken twice daily for anxiety.
Because of valerian's unpleasant odor, European manufacturers have created odorless valerian products. However, these are not yet widely available in the United States.
Valerian is not recommended for children under 3 years old. 24
Safety Issues
Valerian is on the FDA's GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list and is approved for use as a food. In animals, it takes enormous doses of valerian to produce any serious adverse effects. 25 Valerian has shown an excellent safety profile in clinical trials. 64
In a suicide attempt, one young woman took approximately 20 g of valerian (20 to 40 times the recommended dose). Only mild symptoms developed, including stomach cramps, fatigue, chest tightness, tremors, and light-headedness. All of these resolved within 24 hours, after two treatments with activated charcoal. 26 The woman's lab tests—including tests of her liver function—remained normal. Keep in mind that this does not mean that you can safely exceed the recommended dose!
One report did find toxic results from herbal remedies containing valerian mixed with several other herbal ingredients, including skullcap . Four individuals who took these remedies later developed liver problems. 27 However, skullcap products are sometimes contaminated with the liver-toxic herb germander, and this could have been the explanation.
There have also been about 50 reported cases of overdose with a combination preparation called Sleep-Qik, which contains valerian as well as conventional medications. 28,29 Researchers specifically looked for liver injury, but found no evidence that it occurred.
There are some safety concerns about valepotriates, constituents of valerian, because in test tube studies they have been found to affect DNA and cause other toxic effects. However, valepotriates are not present to a significant extent in any commercial preparations. 30,31
Although no animal studies or controlled human trials have found evidence that valerian causes withdrawal symptoms when stopped, one case report is sometimes cited in support of the possibility that this might occur. 32 It concerns a 58-year-old man who developed delirium and rapid heartbeat after surgery. According to the patient's family, he had been taking high doses of valerian root extract (about 2.5 g to 10 g per day) for many years. His physicians decided that he was suffering from valerian withdrawal. However, considering the many other factors involved (such as multiple medications and general anesthesia), it isn't really possible to conclude that valerian caused his symptoms.
In clinical trials, use of valerian has not been associated with any significant side effects. A few people experience mild gastrointestinal distress, and there have been rare reports of people developing a paradoxical mild stimulant effect from valerian.
Valerian does not appear to impair driving ability or produce morning drowsiness when taken at night. 35-38 As noted above, most studies have failed to find any immediate sedative effect with valerian. However, one study reported finding mild impairment of attention for a couple of hours after taking valerian. 49 For this reason, it isn't a good idea to drive immediately after taking it.
There have been no reported drug interactions with valerian, and two studies found reasons to believe that valerian should not raise or lower the blood levels of too many medications. 55,60 Nonetheless, there are at least theoretical concerns that valerian might amplify the effects of sedative drugs. A 1995 study was somewhat reassuring on this score because it found no interaction between alcohol and valerian. 40 However, animal studies have found that valerian extracts may prolong the effects of some sedatives, 41,42 and there have been some worrisome case reports suggesting that the combination of valerian and alcohol can lead to excessive sedation in some people. 50 For this reason, we recommend that you do not combine valerian with central nervous system depressants except under doctor's supervision.
Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking sedative drugs such as benzodiazepines ; don't take valerian in addition to them, except under physician supervision.

text: Thursday, January 03, 2013 Association Between Health Care Spending and Quality Not Clear The relationship between health care spending and quality of care is "totally unclear," say researchers in a Reuters Health article about their meta-analysis of 61 studies that compared health care spending with outcomes on both small hospital-wide scales and broader state-wide levels. Some of the studies looked at whether hospitals that spent more money per patient had fewer in-hospital deaths, or if their physicians and nurses better followed guidelines. Others compared states' Medicare spending with how well their older residents were treated for a range of conditions. "The bottom line was that no matter how you drill down into the results, at every level the results are just all over the map," Peter S. Hussey, PhD, the study's lead investigator, told Reuters Health. Twenty-one of the 61 studies showed higher spending was tied to better outcomes for patients, such as fewer deaths. However, 18 studies found a link between more spending and worse outcomes, and 22 showed no difference or an unclear association based on spending. Many of the studies compared certain types of spending with potentially unrelated outcomes. Others didn't take into account how sick patients were initially when looking at how they fared in different situations, the article says. Hussey and colleagues conclude that future studies should focus on what types of spending are most effective in improving quality and what types of spending represent waste. The findings are published in the January 1 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.

The page contains updates to FAQs, case definitions, and information on diagnostic testing. Three interim treatment guidance documents also have been updated. CDC urges clinicians to contact patients who have received medicines associated with 3 lots of preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate from the New England Compounding Center that were recalled on September 26. The potentially contaminated injections were given starting May 21.


text: Vacherin Mont d'Or (golden mountain) is a washed rind cheese that is so creamy that it can be eaten with a spoon. Many cut the top off so it can be served by the spoonful, others open it up and let it seep out while eating the delicious rind with it. Each wheel is wrapped with a resinous, aromatic strip of spruce bark. This prevents this creamy cheese from collapsing and has the added benefit of imparting its flavor to the cheese. Vacherin has an amazing woodsy, nutty aroma and flavor and pairs well with fruit and fruity wines such as Beaujolais or Côte du Jura.

Lake Forest, IL 60045
Telephone: 847-604-8800
A non-profit nursing home operating in Lake County, Lake Forest Place provides the local community with a 50-bed continuing care facility. Their campus sits on a 60-acre wooded land, offering cottage and apartment type accommodations to residents. Residents are offered varying accommodations depending on the level of care needed. They participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs and are offering the following primary services: independent living, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing, rehab, and memory care. They also offer the following amenities: dining room (club level dining), fitness center, library, garden, and chapel. Lake Forest Place's management supports a resident council and has ensured a sprinkler-equipped facility for its residents, staff, and visitors. As of the last inspections, the center has 3 health and 0 fire safety citations. They also have zero federal fine within the last three years. US News and World Report gave Lake Forest Place a five-star or high performing rating.
Lake Forest Place is not found within a Continuing Care Retirement Community. A CCRC provides three levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Typically, a CCRC offers the most service-intensive options for residents. At a CCRC, residents may freely move from one level of care to another.
The nursing facility is also not located within a hospital. Some residents may require more intensive care that can only be provided at a hospital. Because Lake Forest Place is not located at a hospital, residents cannot be easily and quickly transferred to an acute care setting, if necessary.
According to Medicare's Nursing Home Care, Lake Forest Place has an overall rating of five stars which is much above average. Altogether, Medicare gives Lake Forest Place the following star ratings. We all know the more starts, the better the service.
If you notice that your loved one exhibits any of the following, you should act immediately:
When a loved can no longer live independently, a tough decision must be made about the best option for care. Such a decision often must be made during a time of crisis, frequently when your loved one is ready to leave the hospital after a serious illness or operation. Illinois has approximately 1,400 long-term care facilities, or nursing homes, serving more than 100,000 residents, from the young to the elderly. Sadly, nursing home abuse and neglect, also known as elder abuse, is far too common. The Illinois Department of Public Health's 24-hour a day Nursing Home Hotline receives nearly 19,000 calls a year, and as a result, staff respond to more than 5,000 complaints per year.
Elderly care is a complex and delicate issue. We are dealing with one of the most vulnerable sections of the population some would argue than even more so than children. So how are non- and for-profit facilities dealing with mounting costs and infamous mishaps, ranging from filthy conditions to negligent deaths?
There is a need for 24/7 specialized attention, which can become quite expensive, depending on the extent of every individual requirement. For-profit nursing homes claim to deal with scant resources, with many stating meager or non-existent earnings. This allegation has been used to explain chronic staff shortage, among other shortcomings. Medicare and Medicaid funds channeled into nursing homes have been increasingly redirected towards multi-million expenses, and most of the time, the recipients of these expenditures are subsidiaries of the same corporation running the centers.
Research conducted by the University of Illinois at Chicago highlighted an increase in for-profit nursing home earnings, with quality of service diminishing simultaneously. The researchers, who were led by Lee Friedman of UIC's School of Public Health, concluded that "patients receiving care in for-profit institutions were diagnosed with substantially more clinical signs of neglect than patients residing in not-for-profit facilities". This trend appears to be worsening over time, raising concerns within officials and organizations in charge of regulating elderly care services.
There is a case for alarm, and suggestions to break this cycle within nursing homes range from implementing better financial controls in order to check how money is spent, to expanding requirements, tougher punishments and more rigorous scrutiny when it comes to giving out licenses.
Problems due to understaffing in senior citizen home centers have reached such alarming levels throughout the U.S., it is now considered a crime to undercut personnel. The consequences of chronic staff shortage for patients in elderly care installations range from painful and uncomfortable conditions on a day-to-day basis, to wrongful deaths in extreme situations.
Many patients in these facilities cannot fend for themselves –physically, mentally, or both. Less staff means less help to set senior citizens in motion. This specific measure is essential, in order to limit or eliminate the chance of developing pressure ulcers –those terrible painful bedsores many geriatric patients disclose. Also, restrained patients are not moved that often; there is simply not enough help available to accompany them around.
Centers are faced with difficulties even to tackle simple tasks, like adequate hygiene procedures. Cases involving maggot-infested feeding tubes and insect-ridden installations have rocked the public conscience in recent years. Authorities need to place special focus on chronic staff shortage in nursing homes. The examples of how this situation causes pain, anguish, and death are undeniable.
Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms. Know the warning signs, so you can better protect your loved ones. If you notice that your loved one exhibits any of the following, you should take action immediately.

The continuing appalling treatment of young victims of sexual exploitation by the family and friends of the men who groomed them revealed a "profoundly worrying attitude" about the offending, a judge has said.
Taxi driver Shakil Munir, 32, and pizza shop worker Sakib Ahmed, 19, were each jailed for eight years at Teesside Crown Court for having sex with vulnerable Middlesbrough girls as young as 13.
Ahmed's uncle Ateeq Latif, 17, was sent to a Young Offenders' Institution for three years for facilitating his relative's offending by accompanying him on drives with young girls, then taking one away to leave Ahmed alone with his prey.
Passing sentence, Judge John Walford said: "It is quite clear from all the evidence that you regarded these young girls between the ages of 13 and 15 as objects for your sexual pleasure. In reality they were children who lacked the maturity of experience to cope with your manipulative ways.
"It is apparent from their victim impact statements, reflecting their youth and immaturity, that some have mixed emotions about what happened at your hands. It is apparent that for some, their minds are in turmoil.
"They have been scarred not only by what you did but by the reaction to them of members of your family and friends.
"You cannot be held responsible for the shameful behaviour of others beyond your control.
"I openly express the hope that after today the sort of unpleasantness to which those girls have been subjected will cease and they can be allowed to put these events behind them.
"The fact that the girls have been condemned and not you reveals a profoundly worrying attitude to what has gone on here - an attitude which if not challenged will lead to further cases like this in the future, just as it has in the past.
"One might have hoped that after high-profile cases elsewhere in the country, the realisation might have dawned firstly, that the sort of attitude towards young girls that led to the commission of these offences has no place in civilised society, and secondly, it is unacceptable for feckless young men to roam the streets at night seeking young, impressionable girls, with only one objective in mind.
"That is behaviour that needs to be condemned."
There was a strong police presence as members of the English Defence League gathered outside the courtroom while sentencing took place.
Christopher Knox, prosecuting, said the victims had suffered "considerable, ongoing damage" which was continuing at school.
"They have been subject to name calling - suggestions such as 'white trash' and being goaded in the classroom.
"Comments like 'don't touch her, she will have you done for rape' and the suggestion they have been bombarded with abusive messages on Facebook, calling them sluts and accusing them of being racist."
Mr Knox said one victim was told she "deserved everything she had got".
The judge said their treatment was appalling and reflected "the depths of distorted, deviant thinking" that led to the offending.
He also stressed the Middlesbrough offending was not in the same league as the recent cases in Rochdale, Derby, Oxford and Rotherham.
He said Ahmed was "clearly obsessed" with having sex with underage girls. He admitted five counts of sexual activity with a child, relating to five different girls.
He would take them out in his silver Vauxhall Corsa and then pressure them into giving him oral sex or full intercourse.
Married Munir picked up one 14-year-old in his cab and had sex with her in a lay-by late at night. The same week he took a 13-year-old to a "chill pad" for sex.
He was said to have contacts for 200 girls on his phone, which he deleted before he was arrested.
The judge said he abused his position of trust and that his interest in under-16s had gone on for years.
When a letter was put forward on his behalf expressing the shame he had brought on his family, the judge said: "The concept of shame felt by any of these defendants sits uneasily with family, friends and associates behaving as they have done.
"One might have expected that if these defendants really took full responsibility then that feeling would have been spread amongst family, friends and associates to ensure that there was, rather than a condemnatory attitude towards these girls, a feeling of sympathy and support."
After a trial Munir was convicted of two counts of sexual activity with a child, relating to two victims, and abduction.
Latif, 17, was convicted of two counts of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence.
The judge said his "deceptively reassuring" presence in the car meant Ahmed's victims were tricked into going along for the ride.
The three defendants were subject to Sexual Offence Prevention Orders, and Munir and Ahmed were banned from driving for eight and six years respectively.
Two co-accused teenagers were cleared of all charges at the trial in December.
Mark Cotter, for Ahmed, said he was only 17 when the offending began.
"The word paedophile gets used in cases like this but that word cannot be bandied about as readily and as confidently when you have a defendant who was themselves, at the commencement of offending, a child," he said.
Ekwall Tiwana, for Munir, said: "Grooming often takes weeks, months and sometimes years.
"In this case Munir met them at the weekend and, really, the two sexual encounters took place within three or four days."
He added: "One must not underestimate the shame that these events and his conviction has on him within the Asian community.
"He is going to have to live with that label for the rest of his life."
Nicholas Johnson, for Latif, said his client was only 16 at the time.
"While he did facilitate, it was not in the form of organising or instigating," he said. "It was very much in the sense of assisting an older person."
Outside court, two of the victims' mothers spoke out about their ordeal.
"All the kids have been painted as sluts, when they have been victims" one said. "The girls have been tortured and are still being tortured."
The other mother said: "We have had to move house because of the abuse and our car was written off during the trial."
Outside court Detective Inspector Dino Carlucci, who led the investigation, paid tribute to those who bravely gave evidence.
He said: "I want to see the girls getting their lives back on track, continuing their education and enjoying life as they should as 15-year-olds."

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — With two weeks to go until Election Day, supporters of Maryland's expanded gambling bill are getting some high-profile help. In an ad to be released Tuesday, a Ravens legend urges voters to pass the expansion–or else!
Kai Jackson has more on the ad and the issue.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and supporters get big help to promote Question 7–and we mean really big help.
The stakes are high and ads for and against Question 7 seem non-stop. It would expand gambling to table games and increase the number of slot machines.
"You don't wanna upset Jonathan Ogden. No, you don't!" said a new ad.
Former Ravens offensive lineman Jonathan Ogden gets behind the mayor on Question 7. At 6'9″, he towers over Rawlings-Blake. But when it comes to the issue of expanded gambling, for these two, the playing field is level.
The opposition to Question 7 is waging its own battle on the airwaves.
"Check the facts for yourself. Vote no on Question 7," an opposing ad says.
Critics question whether money collected in casino taxes would be used to help education–or the average Marylander, for that matter.
"If you read the law, you'll see that there's no new money going to schools as a result of Question 7. It's basically just gonna replace the money that was coming from other sources, like the general fund," said Marta Hummel Mossberg, Maryland Public Policy Institute.
Other supporters believe passage of Question 7 will help the state and Marylanders.
"The passage of Question 7 would inure to the benefit of the Maryland economy and the Maryland taxpayer," said Anirban Basu, Sage Policy Group.
It's estimated that if Question 7 passes, it will initially generate some $260 million for Maryland.

Window Labels: Missing in Action
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 07, 2008
Thermal certification field labeling is simple, and inexpensive, when a knowledgeable representative from the window manufacturer is involved.
Over the last six months, we've encountered a number of thermal labeling problems with windows in our HERS ratings. These problems run the gamut from no thermal label at all to a partial label to an improper label. Unfortunately, the most serious problem we've encountered is invalid field labeling by a dealer or the manufacturer's representative who are unfamiliar with proper field labeling procedures. This is a serious problem because ultimately, the whole home certification could be considered compromised when these little-known procedures are circumvented. In reality, field labeling for thermal certification is relatively simple and inexpensive, provided the correct procedure is followed and a knowledgeable representative from the window manufacturer is involved. Window Labeling and the NFRC In the late 1980s, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated dubious claims of highly efficient windows in Oregon and Washington State. In response, the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) was formed in 1989 to provide independent verification of product performance so that the federal government would not have to develop standards and administer a certification and labeling program for the fenestration industry. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct92) recognized the NFRC as the country's official ...

The statin drugs, also known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are the most popular and powerful medications for improving cholesterol profile . They work by interfering with HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme necessary for the body's manufacture of cholesterol. Drugs in this family include:
- Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor),
- Fluvastatin (Lescol),
- Lovastatin (Mevacor),
- Pravastatin (Pravachol),
- Simvastatin (Zocor),
- Rosuvastatin (Crestor),
- and others.
The herb chaparral ( Larrea tridentate or L. mexicana ) has been promoted for use in arthritis, cancer, and various other conditions, but there is insufficient evidence supporting its effectiveness. There are, however, concerns about its apparent liver toxicity.
Several cases of chaparral-induced liver damage have been reported, some of them severe enough to require liver transplantation. 1-6
Based on these reports, combining chaparral with other agents that are hard on the liver, such as statin drugs, may amplify the risk of potential liver problems. 7 Other herbs that are toxic to the liver include comfrey (Symphytum officinale) and coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) .
The herb Chinese skullcap contains the substance baicalin as one of its presumed major active ingredients. One study found evidence that consumption of baicalin might lower blood levels of statin drugs. 34
The herb St. John's wort, used to treat depression, may decrease blood levels of various drugs in the statin family, including simvastatin, lovastatin, and atorvastatin (but possibly not pravastatin). 22 One study documented that when people taking atorvastatin for high cholesterol additionally took St. John's wort, cholesterol levels promptly rose. 33
Grapefruit juice impairs the body's normal breakdown of several drugs, including statins, allowing them to build up to potentially excessive levels in the blood. 8 A recent study indicates that this effect can last for 3 days or more following the last glass of juice. 9
Because this could increase the risk of serious drug side effects, if you take interacting statins, the safest approach is to avoid grapefruit juice altogether. Grapefruit juice may not affect fluvastatin or pravastatin because these drugs are broken down differently than other statins. 10
Niacin (nicotinic acid) is vitamin B 3 . In high doses (often 1,500 mg daily or more), niacin is effective in lowering cholesterol levels. Its other form, niacinamide (nicotinamide), does not affect cholesterol.
Combining high-dose niacin with statin drugs further improves cholesterol profile by raising HDL ("good") cholesterol. 23,24,25 Unfortunately, there are real concerns that this combination therapy could cause a potentially fatal condition of muscle breakdown called rhabdomyolysis.
A growing body of evidence, however, suggests that the risk is relatively slight in individuals with healthy kidneys. Furthermore, even much lower doses of niacin than the usual dose given to improve cholesterol levels (100 mg versus 1,000 mg or more) may provide a similar benefit. 26 At this dose, the risk of rhabdomyolysis should be decreased. Nonetheless, it is not safe to try this combination except under close physician supervision.
One case report suggests that consumption of pomegranate juice might increase the risk of rhabdomyolosis with rosuvastatin (Crestor). 28
Red yeast rice is an herbal cholesterol-lowering therapy. It contains a mixture of statins; its primary statin ingredient is lovastatin, making it most closely resemble the prescription drug Mevacor.
Based on the similarity of red yeast rice to statin drugs, the two should not be combined without medical supervision.
Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ) is a vitamin-like substance that plays a fundamental role in the body's energy production 13,14 and appears to be important for normal heart function. 15
Statin drugs inhibit the enzyme necessary for the body's synthesis of both cholesterol and CoQ 10 , and as an inevitable part of their mechanism of action, reduce CoQ 10 levels in the body. 16-18 Since these drugs are used to protect the heart, and since CoQ 10 deficiency could in theory impair heart function, it has been suggested that this side effect may work against the intended purpose of taking statins. Furthermore, one might naturally hypothesize that some of the side effects of statins could be caused by this induced CoQ 10 deficiency. Taking CoQ 10 supplements does prevent the lowering of CoQ 10 levels caused by statin drugs and accomplishes this without interfering with their therapeutic effects. 20 However, studies designed to determine whether the use of CoQ 10 supplements actually offers any benefit to people taking statins have returned inconsistent results at best. 27,30-32,36 The most recent of these studies, for example, a relatively large double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 44 people, failed to find that use of CoQ 10 at a dose of 200 mg daily reduced the side effects of simvastatin. 36
Three double-blind, placebo-controlled studies suggest that combining adding fish oil (or its constituent DHA) with statin drugs may result in additional improvement in lipid profile. 21,29,35

The meninges are a protective lining around the brain and spinal cord. A meningioma is a tumor of these linings. Most meningiomas do not cause symptoms. But, if the meningioma grows, it can push on important parts of the brain. These tumors may be graded 1-3, with 3 being the most aggressive.
Malignant meningiomas (grade 3), also called anaplastic, are less common. These tumors are faster growing and very likely to return.
The exact cause of meningiomas is unknown. The development appears to be associated with genetics and certain hormones.
Risk Factors
Meningiomas are more common in women, and in those aged 40-70 years. Other factors that may increase your chance of meningioma include:
- History of breast cancer or sarcoma, as part of the Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- Obesity
- Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)
- Exposure to radiation, especially to the head
- Parent, sibling, or child with meningioma
Symptoms of meningioma are usually related to the area of the brain that is affected. Symptoms can also be due to an increase in the pressure inside the skull. Symptoms may include:

You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will have a neurological examination.
The brain can be evaluated with imaging tests. These may include:
Your brain activity may need to be measured. This can be done with an electroencephalogram (EEG).
Treatment will depend on the size and location of the tumor, its rate of growth, and your general health. The main types of treatment for meningiomas are:
Surgery may be recommended if the tumor is located in an area that is easily reached. Most surgeries can be done without causing neurological damage.
Tumors need blood flow to survive. In some instances, prior to surgery, a catheter may be inserted into blood vessels supplying the tumor. It will disrupt the flow of blood to the tumor. This will make the tumor shrink. The smaller tumor can then be removed with surgery.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is used either on its own or after surgery has been done.
Some tumors may be located in an area that is difficult or too dangerous to operate on. Radiation may be used on its own if the tumor is causing symptoms and cannot be removed with surgery. Radiation therapy is an effective way of treating the tumor and stopping its growth.
If the tumor is a higher grade, radiation is generally considered. In this case, radiation may be given either on its own or after surgery to help prevent the tumor from coming back.
Your radiation oncologist will describe how the therapy is delivered and how many treatments are needed. You may receive 25-40 treatments on a daily basis, or fewer treatments if you are having stereotactic radiosurgery. This type of treatment delivers higher doses of radiation during each treatment.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Traditional chemotherapy as well as other systemically (oral or IV) therapies are used when other treatment methods fail.

Perforce has announced hybrid version control to allow developers to use Git alongside Perforce's native versioning protocol (P4) without hindering DevOps teams from implementing and accelerating their continuous delivery pipelines.
Suitable for environments built around either centralized or distributed workflows (or both together), the option now exists to work based on the needs of each project instead of having to make a choice.
The firm suggests that in recent years, software organizations have been forced to choose between offering developers the flexibility of using popular distributed version control system (DVCS) Git and meeting the security and agility needs of enterprise DevOps.
Gartner has stated that the DVCS model for source code version and configuration control gained popularity with individual programmers because it gives them better performance and makes the creation of new code branches simpler and quicker.
"The challenge for managers is to maintain the programmer benefits while serving the team's and enterprise's needs for quality, visibility, security, and consistency," said the analyst house.
Not afraid to state its position, Perforce itself claims that development teams have found it difficult to manage large projects with Git because of its "inherent limitations" with large code bases and files, while developers have had to use outdated or home-grown tools for collaboration and code review.
Perforce also provides repository management and refactoring capabilities that are essential to using Git in an enterprise setting. Teams of developers can use Git; P4Sandbox, Perforce's DVCS solution; Perforce clients or any combination thereof, while targeting the same code base.
Perforce also offers optimizations for globally distributed development teams working with Git. Using replication technology, Perforce makes the Git experience better for large distributed development teams without the need for third-party overlays.
"The social coding and collaboration capabilities of Perforce Swarm now extend across both Git and P4. This enables pre-commit reviews for Git-based code in the same tool and workflow as those for P4-based code, resulting in improved code quality and efficiency. These reviews can include any size or type of file — code, images, configurations, and binaries like artwork, schematics, documents, and so on. Perforce has also introduced new support for reviewing 3D models from within the same environment," said Christopher Seiwald, founder and CTO at Perforce.
Seiwald says that the fundamental goal behind the hybrid model is to allow developers to work as they like and also allow release managers to get products out the door faster, and the DevOps team can check all the boxes for "ilities," like traceability, scalability, and auditability.

A chronic condition is a problem that lasts for a long time or one that will never go away, such as Parkinson's disease, AIDS, cancer, or Alzheimer's disease. With the growth of our aging population, many more people will be touched by chronic conditions. Many will need assistance with routine aspects of everyday life.
The responsibilities of caregiving, added to the routine pressures of maintaining a family and professional life, can naturally lead to stress. Stress, in turn, creates a ripple effect on the health and well-being of not only the caregiver, but everyone from family members to friends and co-workers.
Extra Burdens
Living with a chronic condition—and caring for a person with a chronic condition—can lead to physical and emotional stress. The symptoms of this stress may look similar in both the person dealing with the condition and the caregiver. The symptoms include:
- Anger, sometimes leading to physical violence
- Anxiety
- Denial
- Depression
- Dissatisfaction with life
- Exhaustion
- Guilt
- Irritability
- Stress-related physical conditions, such as gastrointestinal problems or insomnia
For the person with the chronic condition, the level and type of stress may vary depending on the specific illness and its prognosis. Common causes of physical and emotional stress include:
- Changes in ability to work or do recreational activities
- Changes in personal and professional relationships
- Physical changes and side effects
- Management of symptoms and medications
- Financial demands of healthcare needs
For caregivers who offer a wide range of help, stressors also depend on the intensity of their involvement and their relationship to the person in need. These stressors often include:
- Extra demands on time and energy
- Changes in family roles and responsibilities
- Changes in work time and time to perform professional responsibilities
- Pressure of trying to keep up with the caregiving and still having a life outside of work and the home
Because it is common for caregivers to feel stressed and depressed, some doctors refer to caregivers as hidden patients.
Adapted Lives
Because of the levels and types of stress involved, the impact of chronic illness can extend far beyond the sufferers and their caregivers. Nearly always, it affects the household of the person with the chronic condition. And as those household members are affected, the people who love, care for, and work with them can experience effects as well. A study of grown children with chronically ill parents revealed that even non-caregiver children showed an increased risk of depression.
In every chronic condition, strong support systems benefit everyone. A study of AIDS caregivers, for example, connected strong social support with better coping skills. Researchers are looking into the coping mechanisms that caregivers use and searching for better ways to support caregivers.
While the caregiver typically serves as a primary support system for the chronically ill person, friends, and family members can also play important roles. This can be children taking on more responsibilities or friends ensuring that caregivers take time off to relax. These steps help lower the stress level.
Steps to Care for Yourself
Because of the relentless demands associated with chronic illness, understanding positive methods of coping can greatly benefit everyone affected by the condition. Helpful coping strategies include:
- Take breaks—Schedule quiet time, visit with friends who can offer positive reinforcement, or take regular days off from routine. Home health agencies may offer "respite care" or adult day care programs that can give you a break.
- Take care—Eat balanced meals, get an adequate amount of sleep, and check with a doctor about any continuing problems.
- Understand your limits—Find local resources that can offer physical, emotional, and psychological support to you as a caregiver. Realize that you cannot do everything for everyone. Find out if your state offers helpful programs.
- Getting help—Relieve feelings of isolation, anger, and frustration by seeking out the help of counselors or support group.
- Plan ahead—Take advantage of professionals who can help you get ready for legal, financial, or long-term health issues before you need them. Accept that your loved one's status may change and you may not be able to help any further. If necessary, seek guidance for end of life issues.
The most important point to remember is that you do not need to go through this alone. There are resources available to help you and your loved one. Reach out and contract someone for the support that you deserve.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Technically "beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid," HMB is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body when the amino acid leucine breaks down.
Leucine is found in particularly high concentrations in muscles. During athletic training, damage to the muscles leads to the breakdown of leucine as well as increased HMB levels. Evidence suggests that taking HMB supplements might signal the body to slow down the destruction of muscle tissue. 1 However, while promising, the research record at present is contradictory and marked by an absence of large studies.
HMB is not an essential nutrient, so there is no established requirement. HMB is found in small amounts in citrus fruit and catfish. To get a therapeutic dosage, however, you need to take a supplement in powder or pill form.
Therapeutic Dosages
A typical therapeutic dosage of HMB is 3 g daily.
Be careful not to confuse HMB with gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a similar supplement. GHB can cause severe sedation, especially when combined with other sedating substances, such as alcohol or anti-anxiety drugs.
Therapeutic Uses
According to some but not all of the small double-blind trials performed thus far, HMB may improve response to weight training. 2-9,21,24,25 One small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found hints that HMB might help prevent muscle damage during prolonged exercise, thereby potentially enhancing recovery during athletic training ; 10 however, a follow-up study failed to find this benefit. 25 A very small study found evidence that HMB might improve aerobic exercise capacity. 26
Very weak evidence suggests that HMB might improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 18
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Hydroxymethyl Butyrate?
In a controlled study, 41 male volunteers age 19 to 29 years old were given either 0 g, 1.5 g, or 3 g of HMB daily for 3 weeks. 12 The participants also lifted weights 3 days a week for 90 minutes. The results suggest that HMB can enhance strength and muscle mass in direct proportion to intake.
In another controlled study reported in the same article, 32 male volunteers took either 3 g of HMB daily or placebo, and then lifted weights for 2 or 3 hours daily, 6 days a week for 7 weeks. The HMB group saw a significantly greater increase in its bench-press strength than the placebo group. However, there was no significant difference in body weight or fat mass by the end of the study.
Similarly, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 39 men and 36 women found that over a period of 4 weeks, HMB supplementation improved response to weight training. 13
Two placebo-controlled studies in women found that 3 g of HMB had no effect on lean body mass and strength in sedentary women, but it did provide an additional benefit when combined with weight training. 14 In addition, a double-blind study of 31 men and women, 70 years old, undergoing resistance training, found significant improvements in fat-free mass attributable to the use of HMB (3 g daily). 15
However, other small studies have found marginal or no benefits with HMB for enhancing body composition or strength. 16,17,22,23,26
When the results of small studies contradict one another, it often means that the studied treatment produces minimal benefits at most, and this may be the case with HMB. Larger trials will be necessary to truly determine the extent of its effect.
Safety Issues
HMB seems to be safe when taken at standard doses. 18 Clinical trials have not found any significant adverse effects with short-term HMB use. 19 Short- and long-term toxicological studies in animals have also found no evidence of harm. 20 However, full safety studies have not been performed, so HMB should not be used by young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease, except on the advice of a physician.
As with all supplements taken in very large doses, it is important to purchase a quality product, as an impurity present even in very small percentages could add up to a real problem.

The jury's out on which is the best quality of this indoor/outdoor rug: its aesthetic or functional design. As for the former, this Two-Tone rug's patterning is sure to make its own impression while at the same time fitting seamlessly into many kinds of decor. It could be toned down with neutrals like chocolate or amber, or punched up with brights like orange or turquoise.
Structurally though, the rug is made of the miracle fabric, polypropylene, which resists stains, dirt, mildew, and mold. It is the picture of durability and will remain in great shape with regular vacuuming and the occasional shake outdoors. So, beauty or practicality, which is more appealing? Who cares! With this rug, there's no choice between the two.
Indoor/outdoor rugs are ideal for high-traffic areas and can be scrubbed, bleached and hosed as frequently as needed. They've also been UV treated to gear them explicitly for outdoor use, so they hold up just as well on the balcony as they do in the bedroom. Air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
A non-slip rug pad is suggested as a safety measure and is available in your choice of size below.
This rug was handcrafted by skilled artisans in a fair-labor, fair-trade workshop in India or China.
Note: size 2.5' x 8' is currently unavailable.

Hello everyone, I thought it would be formal and appropriate of me to introduce myself first before I start participating in topics throughout the forums.
I'm Vlad, I recently discovered Classic-Castle by Google search after I sat down and decided to chase down a long-lost childhood wish of mine. As a boy I didn't manage to acquire all the Lego that I had longed for, I only owned a couple of minor sets like 6009 and a few others, I can hardly recall. I was however a child in the late 80s and early 90s so the sets I was infatuated with (as a result of my already developed appreciation for Middle Ages warfare and life) were Lego Castle creations and sets.
I decided this was the year for me to look into this and fulfill my wish and now I am aiming to collect, make and enjoy as much Castle Lego as possible going forward. This has led me to join up on here as it seems to me that this is the centre of the community for this particular theme. I've had a look through all of the content and I must say a great deal of effort has gone into this website so a very well done to the owners. I've also had a look at some of the custom creations and they are amazing and very innovative!
My goal is an ambitious one, it's been a great desire of mine to build the biggest Lego Castle armies ever seen (you've probably heard that a million times), consisting of different factions and designs, consisting of some custom stuff but mainly from around 1984 - 1996, starting with the Crusaders and ending with Royal Knights, I'm not much of a fan of anything after.
When I say armies I don't just mean a few flanks of infantry swordsmen and some mounted knights, I'm talking vast armies with regiments, units, unit leaders, mounted and dismounted knights, cavalry, missile throwers, spearmen, archers, sword and axe infantry, peasant soldiers, standard bearers, horn blowers, clergy, squires, pages, supply wagons, chariots, arms carts etc etc.
I hope to share some of my work with you guys. Thanks in advance!

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammation of the upper layers of the skin that causes scales on the scalp, face, and other parts of the body. When it affects newborns, it's called cradle cap.
Seborrheic dermatitis starts gradually. In adults, it often first appears as a condition similar to dandruff, but involving more inflammation of the scalp; itching, burning, or hair loss may occur. Seborrhea may also affect the skin behind the ears, on the eyebrows, on the bridge of the nose, around the nose, or on the trunk.
Besides inflammation of the scalp, newborns with cradle cap might get red bumps on their faces, scaling behind the ears, or a persistent diaper rash. Older children with seborrheic dermatitis may develop a thick, flaky rash.
Seborrhea tends to run in families and often worsens during cold weather. Researchers don't know what causes it and they haven't found a cure, but there are ways to control the condition. Special shampoos containing selenium sulfide, pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid, sulfur, or tar may be helpful for adult dandruff associated with seborrhea.
Corticosteroids may be used for intensely inflammatory lesions. Milder treatments, such as salicylic acid in mineral oil or medicated baby shampoo, are used to treat young children and infants who have scalp rashes.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
There is some evidence that the herb aloe might offer some relief to people with seborrheic dermatitis.
The gel inside the cactus-like leaves of the aloe plant ( Aloe vera ) has traditionally been used to treat burns and cuts. While it may not be effective for this purpose, a recent study indicates that aloe may help relieve the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis.
In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 44 adults with seborrheic dermatitis applied either an aloe ointment or a placebo cream to affected areas 2 times daily for 4 to 6 weeks. Compared to the placebo group, those who used aloe reported that their symptoms improved significantly (62% versus 25%). Doctors who examined the participants also concluded that those using aloe had a significant decrease in scaliness, itching, and number of affected areas. 1
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Aloe article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
In a 4-week, placebo-controlled study of 126 people with mild to moderate dandruff, use of 5% tea tree oil shampoo significantly reduced dandruff symptoms. 5 Unfortunately, this study was not double-blind : the researchers knew which participants were receiving tea tree oil and which were receiving placebo. For this reason, its results can't be taken as completely reliable. (For more information on why double-blinding matters, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
One small double-blind study found benefit for dandruff with an extract made from the traditional Mexican herb Solanum chrysotrichum . 6
Highly preliminary studies in the 1950s and 60s suggest that folate taken orally, or vitamin B 6 applied topically, may relieve some symptoms. 2,3
Essential fatty acids, zinc , iron , and vitamins A , E , D , B 1 , B 2 and C have also been suggested as treatments for seborrheic dermatitis but there is no real evidence as yet that they work. 4

This is the fourth challenge in a weekly series from GeneaBloggers called 52 weeks of personal genealogy and history, suggested by Amy Coffin, that invite genealogists to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. Week 4 – Home
I was born in 1953 and by the time I left home twenty years later I had lived in five different houses.
I was lucky my parents moved to Yorkshire shortly before I was born – if they had left it much later I would have been born in Lancashire. They moved to Leeds and rented a house in the same street as my dad's parents.
We lived in the Burmantofts area of the city in a small back-to-back terrace house, number 26 Stipendiary Street. There was one room and a kitchen downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. There was no bathroom or indoor toilet. In the photograph our house was number 26 – the house on the very right of the picture.
Just next to the house is a small gate which leads to a shared toilet. I was too young to really remember this house but my mum tells me that there were two toilets in the small yard. Each toilet was used by two homes.
Stipendiary Street is no longer there. The area was cleared and some high rise local authority flats (apartments) were built in place of the terraced houses.
Sometime around late 1957 or early 1958 we moved closer to the city centre. My dad became manager of the Wellington Inn public house on Wellington Road. We lived here for about 18 months. My brother was born in the pub in November 1958. Rumour has it that at the tender age of five or six I used to sneak behind the bar and steal bottles of Babycham. Sadly the pub was demolished during the time when Leeds was undergoing major redevelopment and the building was in the way of a new road layout.
We left the pub and moved about a mile up the road to the suburb of Wortley. Number 8 Dickens Street was another back-to-back terrace house. There was one room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs and no bathroom. Again the toilet facilities were down the street. My mum says that she didn't like living in this house at all – in fact I would probably say she hated it. So this was only ever going to be a temporary stop along the way. Dickens Street and the surrounding area was flattened by the bulldozers and new homes were built there.
Around 1961 / 1962 we moved to 13 Roseneath Place – probably about another mile away and still in Wortley. This house was a bit bigger – still a back-to-back terrace and the toilet was still down the street – but we had further to walk this time. The house had one room and a kitchen downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. But we also had a cellar and a large attic room. We lived here until the summer of 1965. As with all the previous homes this one was also demolished for a new housing development.
Our next house was 39 Benson Gardens in the suburb of Wortley. This was the first house my parents bought, all the previous ones were rented. Things were looking up for us by now and we had an indoor toilet and bathroom. There was one room and a large kitchen downstairs and three bedrooms. We also had gardens to the front and back of the house. We also got our first telephone and car while living here.
I left home in 1973 and moved to Bradford about nine miles from Leeds.
My parents moved house again in 1980. They bought a semi-detached home in Wortley and settled down at last. My mother still lives in the house and my brother and sister also live in the same suburb with their families.
I moved back to Leeds in 1992 and live in another suburb about four miles from the rest of the family.
