At face value, the Suzanne Somers weight loss plan sounds like another Hollywood movie: artificial and temporary. However, for people who have tried it out, the Suzanne Somers weight loss plan seems to proven itself to be more than just another diet fad.
Suzanne who?
Suzanne Somers, best known for her role as "Chrissy" in 70's sitcom Three's Company, is a Hollywood actress who decided to focus on weight loss and fitness for the past many years. The Suzanne Somers weight loss plan is her latest brainchild, which is also known as "Somersizing".
weight loss help, liquid diet weight loss, tips for losing weight,
What the diet is all about
The Suzanne Somers weight loss plan is another low-carb and high-protein diet. It is not as strict as the other low-carb diets available, but it still restricts you from eating particular types of food. The goal of the plan involves food combining while eliminating foods that contain white flour and sugar. The plan is divided into 2 levels: the initial starting level and the maintenance level.
Your meals
Eating 5 to 6 small meals a day is included in the Suzanne Somers weight loss plan. There is little or no importance to the portions of the food you can consume. Instead, there is emphasis on the way you are combining your foods.
About food combining
Food combining is being emphasized in the Suzanne Somers weight loss plan. This is a type of nutritional approach that gives importance to the time of consumption rather than the amount and type of food you are consuming. For instance, this belief states that you cannot consume citrus fruits and carbohydrates simultaneously in one meal. This is because your body has different ways of digesting different types of food.
On drinks
Keeping yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water is being encouraged by the Suzanne Somers weight loss plan. You can still drink other types of beverages provided that they have calories that are less than or equal to 10.
Principles on food consumption
Aside from being low-carb and high-protein, the plan is also low in fiber, which may contribute to issues regarding constipation. The plan also emphasizes on eating anything that you want as long as you abide by the following principles:
o Never eat vegetables and protein together.
o Never eat vegetables and carbs together.
o Stay away from sugary foods and those that can break down and turn into sugar.
o Never skip meals
o Never eat carbs with fat and and protein.
o Eat fresh fruits on an empty stomach without eating anything else.
o Wait for 3 hours to pass before you change your combination of foods.
The guarantee
Your daily caloric intake is limited to the consumption of not more than 1200 calories everyday. 1200 calories in a day is not really recommended by the RDA but it seems to be widely accepted and considered as effective by some people when it comes to weight loss. Keeping this up, you can lose around 10 pounds in a span of 5 weeks. Furthermore, the plan guarantees that you can keep your metabolism active by eating small meals every now and then.
More than a diet
The Suzanne Somers weight loss plan is considered to be more than just your typical fad diet by some critics. In fact, they identify this as another approach for promoting healthy eating habits so you lose weight and be able to effectively maintain it for as long as you live. The plan lets you learn about correct eating patterns that are suitable for your body so you can combine the correct foods based on the right time.
No more food deprivation
The weight loss plan also boasts of its ability to keep you satisfied when you eat a lot of its real and delicious food so you won't feel deprived of having to miss out on all the yummy stuff. Furthermore, the plan is also proud of the fact that you can eat all the delicious foods that you want but you are still able to lose weight.
Finishing level one of this weight loss plan means that you have already achieved your ideal weight. However, it does not stop there. You need to be able to maintain your ideal weight. This is where level two comes in. Level two involves maintenance. You are still required to follow the eating principles of the plan but this time, you are allowed to enjoy your "comfort foods" (i.e. wine and chocolates) in moderation.

Some time back, my wife bought me one of those Sofa King Cool t-shirts.
I typically wear it around the house or as an undershirt, so I can do the Superman-ripping-his-shirt-open thing and impress my friends and colleagues.
Impress might be the wrong word...anyway.
I also wear it to work out, well, run (walk). I did so tonight.
It was dusk, 9ish, and I was running against traffic (on the sidewalk) in my neighborhood. As a car approached, I took my eyes off the ground to observe the car...when I tripped, fell on my hands and rolled over. Like an idiot.
Not like the Sofa King Cool dude...at all. I wish I had a picture then I could start a website of people wearing "cool" clothes and doing something completely stupid.

I'm pretty sure that event does make you SOFA KING COOL!!!
talk to your doc. Walking has just as much benefit as running for your health, and is much less stressful on your body. I'm just saying.

I know walking is better, and I have practiced it this year out of sheer necessity...for I can hardly run more than a mile straight any longer.
I have never been a huge runner, never going over 30 or 40 miles a week, even when doing triathlons (I was close to 6-10 back then actually).
I used to yell at the walkers...now, not so much.

(AP) One and done at Oscars for MacFarlane
It looks like it's one and done at the Oscars for Seth MacFarlane.
The "Family Guy" creator was asked on his Twitter account whether he'd consider hosting the Academy Awards again and he replied: "No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though."
MacFarlane's edgy comedy proved a polarizing force on Sunday's Academy Awards, with jokes about domestic violence, women's bodies and Jews in Hollywood that offended some viewers. The Oscars did get their biggest audience in three years, however, with particular growth among young viewers.
MacFarlane's spokeswoman said Tuesday she had nothing to add to the tweet.

"Recruiting is about a fit and relationships," O�Brien said. "We started working early on this class and they visited us multiple times. This is a group of high character kids who are tough, go to class and do things the right way. Our coaches deserve a lot of credit. They worked hard to develop relationships with the families and the prospects and it turned out well for us."
Penn State�s 2013 recruiting class features nine defensive signees and eight offensive signees from seven different states and one from the District of Columbia. Breaking down the class by position, the signees include four defensive backs, three defensive linemen, three offensive linemen, two linebackers, two quarterbacks, one running back, one tight end and one wide receiver.
The list includes four high school players who graduated early to enroll at Penn State, and one junior-college signee, who began classes in January and are participating in winter conditioning with the team.
O�Brien led Penn State to an 8-4 record (6-2 Big Ten) during his first season as the Nittany Lions� head coach and was selected the 2012 Bear Bryant, Maxwell Football Club and ESPN Coach of the Year and the Big Ten-Dave McClain Coach of the Year.

Penn State has had a long line of talented players from suburban Washington, D.C., and 5-foot-11, 178-pound defensive back Jordan Smith will look to join that list for the Nittany Lions. Smith is an aggressive athlete with the skill set to play either in a number of different spots in the secondary. Like Anthony Smith, Jordan Smith will likely have an opportunity to add depth and make an early impact in the secondary and on special teams during spring drills. Smith tallied two-straight 60-plus tackle seasons at Archbishop Carroll High School before moving to H.D. Woodson High School in Washington, D.C. Smith�s older brother, Stephen, played high school football with former Nittany Lion great Derrick Williams at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Maryland. Smith is one of five Nittany Lions already enrolled in classes and participating in winter workouts.

Viewsonic ViewPad 7 Android tablet
Tablet sceptics, prepare to be converted
Netbook nemesis?
The microphone is situated on the left-hand side of the bottom edge, well away from the speakers. Audio Skyping with this device – a quick download from the Android store – is beautifully clear, and in quiet surroundings you won't need headphones.
The industrial design is impressive, but not quite up to the standards of Mr Ive
When you do need them, the 3.5mm headphone socket is immediately to the right of the mic, although this probably isn't the optimal place for it, as this makes the headphone jack obtrude, where it messes with the otherwise neat folding support of the black case.
To the right of the headphone socket there's a mini USB socket. This will hook the ViewPad up to your computer as a mass storage device, and is also used for charging. Don't charge from your computer, though, because all you might get like this is a half-amp trickle. The mains USB charger that comes with the kit outputs 2A, and should give you a full charge from zero in a couple of hours.
I was tablet-sceptic before I met this machine, but the ViewPad 7 definitely works for me. The screen is big enough for serious couch surfing at home, and the jacket-pocket friendly form-factor makes it a useful travelling companion. You won't be writing War and Peace using any of the various virtual keyboards, but there's scope for serious note-taking once you get the hang of it.
Better still, Viewsonic is currently running a promotion to give you £100 back on the £400 you'll lay down for the ViewPad 7, if you have an old netbook kicking around you can trade in. At £300, this 3G-enabled tablet is very tempting indeed, but you'll have to spend your cash-back on a memory card - this tablet only comes with 512MB of Flash on board. ®

Generally speaking, we are looking for students who will:
Explore the breadth of our
academic programs
Take advantage of our
urban location and global outreach
Contribute positively to our
college community
Applicants should be well prepared for Trinity's academic work, and desirous and capable of contributing to campus and community activities. Trinity is keenly interested in attracting and admitting candidates who not only give ample proof of academic prowess, but also show evidence of such personal qualities as honesty, fairness, compassion, altruism, leadership, and initiative in their high school years.
The first-year class is limited to approximately 600 women and men, and is drawn from a careful review of more than 6,000 individually considered applications each year.

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of protein in the body called an antibody. As part of the immune system, it plays a role in allergic reactions. When a person is allergic to a particular substance, such as a food or dust, the immune system mistakenly believes that this usually harmless substance is actually harmful to the body. In an attempt to protect the body, IgE is produced by the immune system to fight that particular substance. This starts a chain of events leading to allergy symptoms. In a person whose asthma is triggered by allergic reactions, this chain of events will lead to asthma symptoms, too.

Any college coach complaining about new recruiting rules is scared of them. Scared of getting outworkedWow.
— Michael Carvell (@RecruitingAJC) February 20, 2013
February 19, 2013
Carvell throws down a gauntlet
10 comments:
- dawgontap said...
Yeah, well it's pretty ironic that a guy that says he's a journalist but spends most of his time putting out timed twitter blasts that you have to hear over and over AAAAND a guy that pretty much copy and pastes other people's work and uses them as the basis of almost all his "WORK" is calling anyone out about lack of work ethic.
- Russell said...
I wish we, the entire Dawgnation, would stop listening to or reacting to this tool. Just unfollow him and stop clicking on his news stories.
- Paul Westerdawg said...
Shockingly, I agree with him.
You know why we have Spring Practice limits based on # of days, weeks and total practice sessions? Because other coaches knew if left to his own devices, Bear Bryant would have his kids practicing all year and out work them.
So in this modern example: Why would an assasin like Saban or Meyer be against these new recruiting rules?
Take Saban and his 20 person "Operations" staff to the logical extreme for this rule.
Imagine Bama hiring a 20 person offshore marketing team who's entire job is to reach out to HS kids via social media channels. They could literally run 24x7 shop for outreach to kids.
Ignoring the extreme, he could also now assign every coach and administrator with the job of reaching out to kids at least X times per day or week. There's nothing keeping the Swim Coach from helping him recruit football players.
It's simply a question of power, resources and will power. Saban and Bama have unlimited access to 2 of those things and near unlimited access to resources.
We don't have the appetite for that.
As I said...shockingly, Carvell is right.
- dawgontap said...
If Saban just hires 10 more guys than we do, is he really out "working" UGA? Is he really out "working" the staff and Richt? Or is he just given all the resources he needs and then some? Our AA is now up to $80 million.
Saying our STAFF is getting outworked is goofy. It's not a shock that if you can "STEELE" away a BCS bowl school's coach to come be a "staff member" that does nothing but recruit and isn't considered a coach, that yeah...you may do a better job. If you pay for 5 recruiting services and UGA only employees 1 recruiting service (not Rivals, etc, but professional recruiting services used by college teams) that you might find more kids. It's true that if you just plain get more shots in the chamber by signing 95 kids when you only have room for 85 every year...that you'll get more good players.
That isn't getting outworked, PWD...that's getting outspent and outsleezed.
Having all those built in advantages....5 yards....5 yards.
- KCDawg said...
Just because you don't agree with the new rules doesn't mean you are afraid of them.
Allowing Bear Bryant to work and practice his kids all year long wasn't a good idea then, just as these new rules aren't a good idea now. Most things need to have some form of regulation to ensure that some "hardworking" jackass doesn't go over the line.
The recruits were already getting too many calls/visits/texts/etc. under the old rules. Now we are going to up the ante by allowing even more people to contact them with unlimited texts followed by social media? They aren't celebrities making millions of dollars, they're high school kids who may (or may not) have the ability to play sports in college. This amount of personal invasion is crazy.
I have a 16 year old son who plays two sports in high school. Between those two (including summer ball), he played 90 games and attended approximately 120 two+ hour practices)in the last year... and that's not including individual lessons/training, summer morning weightlifting or off-season "voluntary" workouts for basketball. All that's in addition to maintaining his grades and trying to have some semblance of a social life.
And as hard as he works, it isn't in the same league as his friends that play football... including their daily 5 hour "voluntary" workouts/practices throughout the summer.
So, again I have to say that just because you're a coach or administrator who doesn't like these new rules, doesn't mean that you are afraid of them.
All that said, if they stay in place (as I fully expect them to) we have to figure out a way to be successful within them. That means putting the people and resources in place to make that happen.
- Anonymous said...
That POS is the most laughably blatant baiter they've had since Terrence... I just hope more and more Georgia folks stop giving his childish articles the hits that he and his awful employer so desperately crave.
I get a post like this, it's easy to see and want to laugh at what a dbag he is... but it isn't helping, because it just gives him the attention he's seeking.
- Anonymous said...
There should be limits on recruiting. This is just going in the direction of making the process even more exploitative. High school kids should get to be just that...kids.
- Anonymous said...
Carvell maybe right, but he still is a douche biscuit.
- Paul Westerdawg said...
KCDawg - I don't agree with the new rules. I'm just saying that the complaints are mostly driven by people who know what Saban will do with the rules and they have zero interest in putting that effort into it.
- Paul Westerdawg said...
Why do you think Saban has those extra people? Because he uses all of his political capital for 1 purpose. Moving his football program forward.
Mark Richt used his political capital to protect Van Halanger, Martinez, Janeck and Fabris.
Had CMR wanted more resources when he had the juice he would've gotten them.
He was told "no" only once when he had juice. He asked for an IPF and was told no...BUT he was told they would give him several other things on his list instead.
Once he lost his power base due to underperforming on the field...he asked for more S&C resources and was told no...partially because he wanted DVH to run the program. That would've been throwing good money after bad.
Saban doesn't fight for his cronies. Saban fights to win.
And that is working hard and smart.
Smarter and harder than our guy is working.

JUST crisp-tender (about 3 minutes) plunge into an ice water bath to cool completely. You'll want to drain the green beans, and pat them dry. You can this in advance, by the way. The ingredients you need are rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic (or, I use Chili Garlic Sauce for extra kick) and brown sugar. You might want cornstarch and water, whisked together, in case you like a thicker sauce. Oh, sesame seeds are nice as a garnish...or not.

Is Pearl Jam coming to Wrigley Field?
Early Tuesday, the band posted a vague update on its official website, telling fans to #staytuned and follow along on Twitter. Not long after, the Chicago Cubs' official Twitter handle chimed in with the hashtag.
@cubs: Ten. #StayTuned pic.twitter.com/eFXYXDGI.
The photo linked in the tweet was to Ron Santo's jersey, also the number 10, as Cubs news site Bleacher Nation first pointed out. Depending on how much you believe in coincidence, "Ten" is also the title of Pearl Jam's first album. The band's official Twitter also asked fans to share a poster from their 2006 world tour with My Morning Jacket.

Way Klingler Young Scholar Awards support promising young scholars in critical stages of their careers. The awards of up to $32,000 are intended to fund $2,000 in operating costs and to cover up to 50 percent of salary to afford the recipient a one-semester sabbatical.
What makes us dive into that second helping of mashed potatoes or guzzle a sweet drink? The answer is complicated.
"Wanting or needing to eat seems like a very simple concept," said Dr. SuJean Choi, assistant professor of biomedical sciences and 2011 Way Klingler Young Scholar Award recipient. "You need something and your body tells you to go do it. But managing energy in your body is an extremely complex and exquisite system."
Choi studies the neuroscience behind feeding behavior and body weight regulation. And when those complex processes misfire, it can lead to eating disorders, metabolic disorders or obesity.
Choi's lab in the College of Health Sciences is examining the mechanisms underlying appetite suppressants. Many existing appetite suppression drugs work by manipulating serotonin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well-being, so she is studying serotonin's interaction with a specific neuropeptide, a signaling molecule. She hopes to discover why such drugs lose their effectiveness over time.
"How do we learn about how the brain is fighting back?" Choi asked. "The brain doesn't know that we're really overweight and we'd like to lose a few pounds so we can make it to our reunions. The brain only knows that the more food we have, the more likely we are to survive."
A second focus of her lab is hypothalamic regulation of energy homeostasis, or how the body maintains metabolic equilibrium. The hypothalamus is the region in the brain associated with thirst, hunger, satiety and other functions. Choi is studying the hypothalamus as a site of action for appetite suppressants, but she also hopes to simply better understand that part of the brain. "What's going on in there? What are some of the interesting signals we don't understand yet?" she said.
Choi will use her sabbatical this fall to publish her latest results, apply for new grant funding and further her collaboration with Dr. David Baker, associate professor of biomedical sciences, who studies drug addiction. They believe that further study could reveal whether compulsive eaters would benefit from treatment similar to that used with drug addicts.
Since arriving at Marquette in 2008, Dr. Martin St. Maurice, assistant professor of biological sciences, has quickly established a well-funded research lab where undergraduate and graduate students conduct state-of-the-art research in structural biology, according to Dr. Bob Fitts, chair and professor of biological sciences.
St. Maurice has successfully competed for a National Science Foundation grant to help Marquette purchase a powerful molecular imaging device and is part of a three-member team that received a teaching enhancement award this spring to incorporate interactive-learning elements into entry-level Biology 1001.
Now, St. Maurice is earning distinction again as a 2011 Way Klingler Young Scholar. St. Maurice will use his sabbatical to publish recent findings and pursue new breakthroughs related to his research on the molecular-level structure and function of enzymes. Of particular interest is his team's progress in understanding pyruvate carboxylase, an enzyme that acts as a catalyst and "gatekeeper" for the processes by which the liver delivers energy-rich glucose to the bloodstream and by which the pancreas responds to blood glucose by releasing insulin. Given insulin's essential role in processing blood glucose and avoiding the high levels associated with diabetes, greater knowledge of PC's molecular structure could lead to the discovery of compounds that turn up or down its catalytic activity, opening up avenues for therapeutic or industrial uses.
St. Maurice's presentation last summer at a prestigious Gordon Research Conference indicates the national recognition this research is generating. And the young researcher is in line to lead the reapplication for federal R01 funding, which would move the project's home institution from UW–Madison to Marquette. The award is another reason the Canadian feels comfortable and productive at Marquette. "I originally thought I'd go back to Canada after my post-doc fellowship [at UW–Madison] . . . but Marquette values teaching and it values research," he said. "Both are important to me."

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Two nonprofit organizations that bear Jewish diarist Anne Frank's name are locked in a dispute over the Frank family archives, which have been kept in Amsterdam since 2007.
The Anne Frank Fund, based in Basel, Switzerland, is demanding the documents go to a display about the Franks and related families at the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt, where she was born.
The Anne Frank Foundation, which manages the museum located in Amsterdam at the site where Anne hid from the Nazis for two years before she was caught and died in the Holocaust, says not all of the archive belongs to the Fund. It says it will give the rest back eventually.
Foundation spokeswoman Maatje Mostart said Wednesday of the fight "it's really sad this is happening."

The high visibility of Security Officers and their strategic alignment led me to perceive that the campus was very, very safe. It also indicated to me that these Security Officers had received substantial state-of-the-art training in preparation for their important campus role. It was evident that this training had been geared to meet the needs of the campus population.

I was expecting a good argument, Summerlander.
But you were just ranting!
How would I describe what you just replied... how do I put it..... oh yea...
Summerlander wrote:Cock and bull!
I'm just messing with ya I love a good debate sometimes, and I know you do to, and just being argumentative and using your own quote back at you for fun. I must admit I like the, word "teleology", and had to look that up, and explains many debates here on this forum. That does explain my side, but it still doesn't mean it's absurd. You missed the mark, and didn't persuade me at all. I'm extremely open minded and really want someone to prove me wrong. Or even right for that matter.
If we have no free will (and that's my stand point to at the moment) then isn't is possible for a giant super computer to predict our every move? What else is comparable to that? The brain of course!
So it's not unfathomable that we can predict the future to some extent?
I hope my ideas resonate more than my wording, but isn't there at least a little bit of truth to what I'm saying? If not, I can take it, and it's all just words, and concepts and nothing is personal. You can slam a few jokes at me too if it's in good taste, because I admit I did the same!
But if I hear a definite answer from anyone I will change my mind at a heartbeat!
EDIT: What I wanted to condense it down to was that you are right about it being all teleological. And many debates on this forum are. I was going to re-phrase it in two lines:
You were ranting.
But I was rambling.
I'll pick this up again when I'm back online. I'm not getting off that easy am I....

Canadian's phone 'scares off' polar bear attacker
A Canadian reportedly had a lucky escape as a polar bear mauling him was apparently scared off by the light from the man's mobile phone.
The man pulled out the handset as the bear pounced on him in the coastal town of Churchill, Manitoba province.
The device's light startled the animal allowing him to flee, reports CTV News.
Churchill is dubbed the "polar bear capital of the world" because of the large numbers of the animals that pass through during autumn migration.
Mike Spence, who is mayor of the town, said the unnamed man was walking home on Saturday when the bear attacked, scratching his shirt and biting him on the back.
Conservation officials confirmed a polar bear attack on Saturday and said the animal was captured the same day.
The bear was taken to the agency's polar bear holding facility.
The last person to be killed by a polar bear in Churchill was in the 1980s, according to the mayor.

Larry Feldman is one of those artists who "discovered" Jersey City during the heyday of the 111 First St. era. The old Lorillard factory, which was torn down in 2007, was a haven for artists looking for affordable space in the late 1990s. Feldman, a stained-glass artist, first put down a deposit for the building at 110 First (See story on page TK) and then ended up at 111, where he lived for four and a half years.
He now works in a studio on Halliday Street in the Bergen/Lafayette section of town where lots of artists landed after 111 First was razed.
"Stained glass started as a hobby," Feldman says. "An old boyfriend of my mom's was working with stained glass and showed me a couple of things."
Feldman grew up in Greenwich Village. "When I was a kid in high school, after hours, I would get scrap glass out of the bins at Capital Glass and Sash," he relates, "and I would practice cutting it."
Living in Manhattan, he was accustomed to visiting antique shops on Hudson Street, where he acquired an eye for nice things.
Feldman refers to himself as a self-taught, full-time artisan. He has no "day job," working on commission, making lamps and windows and doing repairs and restorations. He has a very large piece on the third floor of City Hall.
"No other medium deals with light in quite the same fashion that stained glass does," he says. "Light doesn't just bounce off surfaces, it is transmitted through."
It's a fluid medium. "Stained glass, when installed architecturally, will change throughout the course of the day, depending on the intensity of the light," he says. "It's beautiful and magical."—Kate Rounds

Experimental: hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp (HNC)
Patients will be randomized to receive treatment with HNC during cardiac surgery.
Other: hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp (HNC)
Prior to anesthetic induction, a baseline blood glucose value will be obtained, followed by an insulin infusion of 5 mU.Kg-1.min-1. When blood glucose is <110 mg/dL, a variable continuous infusion of glucose (dextrose 20%) supplemented with potassium (40 mEq/L) and phosphate (30 mmol/L) is administered to preserve normoglycemia (80-110 mg/dL). The glucose infusion is titrated to target glucose levels by checking blood glucose every 5 - 15 min with Accu-Check (Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland) glucose monitor. At sternal closure, insulin infusion is decreased to 1 mU/Kg/min. On admission to the ICU, insulin treatment follows the ICU protocol. The dextrose infusion is slowly weaned off over 2 - 4 hrs maintaining blood glucose > 80 mg/dL. Arterial blood glucose is measured every 30 - 60 min for 2 hrs, then, as stated in ICU protocol.
Placebo Comparator: standard glucose management
Patients will be randomized to receive treatment with standard glucose management during cardiac surgery.
Other: control group
Baseline arterial blood glucose will be obtained before anesthetic induction. Repeat measurements are performed every 30-90 min. Glucose >150 on CPB will receive insulin according to intraoperative protocol. After surgery, insulin is given according to ICU protocol. Target glucose < 180 mg/dL.
Other Names:
- Myocardial function [ Time Frame: end of surgery, closure ]Myocardial function measured echocardiographically by global longitudinal systolic strain and strain rate using speckle tracking imaging at end of surgery.
- diastolic function [ Time Frame: end of surgery, closure ]Echocardiographic measures of diastolic function, including transmitral deceleration time (EDT) and velocity of propagation (vp).
- myocardial systolic function [ Time Frame: Day 3 - Day 5, post operative, end of surgery, closure. ]Additional echocardiographic measures of myocardial systolic function, such as myocardial velocities measured by tissue Doppler imaging and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and postoperative strain and strain rate.
- right ventricular function [ Time Frame: end of surgery, closure ]right ventricular function as assessed by right ventricular longitudinal strain and strain rate
- activation of glucose metabolic pathways [ Time Frame: intraoperative ]assessment of the activation of glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation pathway, and hexosamine biosynthetic pathway.
