Sunday's late breaking trial session included the following abstracts: Link to session on the Scientific Programme Online.
Lisbon, 26 May 2013: Serelaxin may be more effective for relieving dyspnea in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) than reduced (HFrEF) during the first 24 hours, according to results from RELAX-AHF presented in today's late breaking trial session(1) at the Heart Failure Congress 2013. Results were also presented from VIVIDD, the first trial of the anti-diabetes drug vildagliptin in patients with heart failure. The Heart Failure Congress is the main annual meeting of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology and is being held 25-28 May in Lisbon, Portugal (2). Many patients with acute heart failure (AHF) have preserved ejection fraction but there is a lack of evidence based therapies for this population. In a sub-group analysis, investigators of the Relaxin in Acute Heart Failure (RELAX-AHF) trial addressed the question of whether serelaxin was equally effective in AHF patients with HFpEF and HFrEF. RELAX-AHF was a double blinded, randomised, placebo controlled trial in which 1161 AHF patients from 96 sites were randomised to 48 hour infusion of serelaxin or placebo within 16 hours of presentation. The primary efficacy endpoint was the effect on dyspnea in the short term (6, 12 and 24 hours) and at 5 days. Secondary efficacy endpoints were cardiovascular death or rehospitalisation for heart or renal failure, and days alive and out of hospital through day 60. All-cause death and cardiovascular death through day 180 were also evaluated. Serelaxin induced similar dyspnea relief in HFpEF and HFrEF patients at day 5 but was more effective in the HFpEF group in the first 24 hours. There were no differences between HFpEF and HFrEF patients in the effect of serelaxin on the secondary endpoints. Serelaxin had similar benefits on mortality in patients with HFpEF and HFrEF.
Presenter Professor Gerasimos Filippatos (Greece) said: "RELAX-AHF is the first trial to give positive findings in patients with acute heart failure and preserved ejection fraction, a large population with unmet treatment needs. Seralaxin is at least as effective in AHF patients with HFpEF for relieving dyspnea during the first 24 hours and had a similar effect on rehospitalisation and survival in HFrEF and HFpEF patients."
The Vildagliptin in Ventricular Dysfunction Diabetes (VIVIDD) trial investigated the effects of the DPP4 inhibitor vildagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes and HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <40%). It is the first study to test this class of anti-diabetes drugs in patients with heart failure.
Presenter Professor John McMurray (UK) said: "Diabetes and heart failure is a common dual problem and these patients have a particularly bad outlook. But, remarkably, patients with heart failure are excluded from most trials testing diabetes drugs. At the moment it's not at all clear how clinicians should choose between the various anti-diabetes drugs when confronted with a heart failure patient."
The primary objective of this randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled trial was to demonstrate that vildagliptin was non-inferior to placebo with respect to change in echocardiographic LVEF from baseline to 52 weeks. For the trial, 254 patients from 15 countries were randomised to 52 weeks treatment with placebo or vildagliptin 50mg bid.The effect of vildagliptin on LVEF did not differ from placebo, confirming non-inferiority. But, unexpectedly, vildagliptin increased the size of the left ventricle with no decline in the contraction and emptying of the left ventricle and no change in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP).
Professor McMurray said: "Normally an increase in the size of the left ventricle is associated with a decline in systolic function but we saw no change in ejection fraction and a fall rather than increase in BNP. We speculate that the surprising findings of VIVIDD indicate that this anti-diabetes drug may have improved the distensibility and compliance of the left ventricle."
He concluded: "We don't have enough studies investigating the effects of anti-diabetes drugs in patients with both diabetes and heart failure. The two diseases clearly interact in many ways and unless a drug is studied in these very vulnerable patients we will never know what effect it has."

(This question reproduced with the customer's permission.)
I want to redistribute the file 'Chilkat ActiveX 9.5.0 win32/ChilkatAx-9.5.0-win32.msi' along with my application. If the msi is not installed yet on the client computer then it is installed automatically by calling msiexec.exe.
This works fine, but the basic question is, how to determine if the ActiveX is yet installed or not. Could you give me a hint, what the best solution could be: Looking for registry entries? Looking for files on the local PC? I also read about testing the registry key HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall, but in my system there is no 'Chilkat'-entry under this key?
A solution that works for all Windows OS's would be fine!
Of course I could say, that when 'ConnectToNewObject' gives an error, then it is not installed, but this could also have other reasons. Here's my basic PB code of this task:
ole = create oleobject
asked Jul 08 '16 at 09:19
chilkat ♦♦
Checking the Windows registry is the best solution. Also, once the registry locations are verified, double-check that the DLL file exists in the filesystem where it is indicated in the registry.
An ActiveX DLL can and usually does contain many classes. The Chilkat ActiveX is one such DLL. An object instance for a given class is typically created via a CreateObject statement, or something similar depending on the programming language. The class name, such as "Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp", is passed to CreateObject. For example, in VBScript:
set obj = CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp")The object name for each Chilkat class is indicated in the reference documentation. For example: https://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatSFtpRef.html
The class name is used to find the registry entry. These are the pertinent registry entries:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | -- Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp | -- CLSID -- {345A5644-4F8E-4BCC-8E65-389B3C9D52B6}
The CLSID is obtained from the name (Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp), and then the file location is determined from the CLSID.
You can see that the ActiveX DLL can be located anywhere on your computer (but should be on a local hard drive). (It does not need to be placed in the Windows/System32 directory.) However, once the DLL is registered, it should not be moved — otherwise the pointer from the registry is no longer valid.
To check to see if the Chilkat ActiveX is installed, pick a class and then check to see if the registry entries exist. First get the CLSID, then lookup the CLSID record to get the DLL file location and check to see if the file actually exists.
Important: A Windows system will have entirely separate 32-bit and 64-bit registries. A 32-bit program implicitly uses the 32-bit registry, and a 64-bit program implicitly uses the 64-bit registry.
Here is some sample C# code that checks to see if Chilkat is registered. (I know it's not PowerBuilder, but it can be reviewed as a general guideline for programming the same in any other language..)
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; using Microsoft.Win32; using System.IO; namespace CheckChilkatActiveX { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private bool m_is32bit = false; private string m_bitSizeStr = "64-bit"; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string dllPath = null; // The Chilkat ActiveX DLL contains many COM objects. // Check for the CLSID subkey for one of them (in this case, Ftp2) RegistryKey comKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2\\CLSID"); if (comKey == null) { textBox4.Text = "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2 not found. The " + m_bitSizeStr + " ActiveX is not registered."; return; } string clsid = (string)comKey.GetValue(""); if (clsid == null) { textBox4.Text = "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2 not found. The " + m_bitSizeStr + " ActiveX is not registered."; return; } else { // Find the path to the DLL. textBox2.Text = clsid; comKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("CLSID\\" + clsid + "\\InprocServer32"); dllPath = (string)comKey.GetValue(""); if (dllPath == null) { textBox3.Text = "The InprocServer32 registry key was not found."; } else { textBox3.Text = dllPath; } } if (dllPath == null) return; // Does the DLL exist? bool bDllExists = File.Exists(dllPath); if (!bDllExists) { lblExists.Text = "The DLL file does not exist!"; lblExists.ForeColor = Color.Red; return; } else { lblExists.Text = "OK, the DLL exists."; // Can we open the DLL? FileStream fs = null; try { fs = File.OpenRead(dllPath); } catch (Exception ) { MessageBox.Show("Failed to open DLL for reading!"); return; } } // Now try to create an instance of an object contained in the ActiveX DLL. We'll try to create the Crypt2 object: dynamic crypt2 = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2")); if (crypt2 == null) { textBox4.Text = "Failed to load the DLL and instantiate a Chilkat ActiveX object."; } else { // What is the version of this Chilkat ActiveX component? textBox1.Text = crypt2.Version; // Do something to get the LastErrorText.. crypt2.UnlockComponent("Test"); textBox4.Text = crypt2.LastErrorText; } } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (IntPtr.Size == 4) { // 32-bit this.Text = "Check the 32-bit Chilkat ActiveX Registration"; m_is32bit = true; m_bitSizeStr = "32-bit"; } else if (IntPtr.Size == 8) { // 64-bit this.Text = "Check the 64-bit Chilkat ActiveX Registration"; } } } }

chilkat ♦♦
Thank you, that helped me a lot. If somebody's interested in the Powerbuilder Code see the following snippet of code: I have this code in the constructor of my OLE wrapper object. It checks if Chilkat (in this case Crypt2) is installed otherwise installs it from a local msi-file, then creates the OLE object. I tested this on XP32, W7-64, W10-32 and W10-64 with and without UAC active. Works well!

OBD Auto Doctor 1.6.2 SilenT | 6.3 Mb
On-Board Diagnostics, or OBD, is a computer-based system built into modern automobiles that monitors emission related controls, performance of the engine, and detects malfunctions. OBD-II systems provide access to the health information of a vehicle and access to numerous parameters and sensors from the Engine Control Unit. The OBD2 system offers valuable information, including diagnostic trouble codes, when troubleshooting problems.
OBD-II scan tool is a device that is used for communicating with a car's OBD system and accessing the OBD information. In other words, a scan tool is a small adapter attached to a car. Our OBD diagnostic software talks to the car via this adapter. It is the software that brings the real value for you. That's why we created OBDAutoDoctor.
How does the OBDAutoDoctor diagnostic software work?
To start communicating with your car, you need to have ELM327-based adapter and a OBDII compliant car. Just connect the OBDII adapter to the physical 16-pin OBD connector plug located near the dashboard (typically below the streering wheel), launch the OBD2 software, and you are ready to go. The connection between the interface and the software can use bluetooth, WiFi, serial port or USB connection depending on the type of hardware you have.

Bought the rasta led wheels and put it on my rasta nickel board and it looks and feels great! At first I did not think the wheels would fit onto the 27' penny skateboard but it did an i was so happy! It took less than 10 minutes to install an I instantly fell in love with it. It does not fully light up your path when riding but it is clearly noticeable and worth every penny. I am planning on buying several more wheels as the time goes on!

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month we are highlighting a major victory for America's mothers and babies. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced earlier this year that it will allow corn masa flour to be fortified with folic acid. This change is an exciting recognition of the more than 20 years of work by the March of Dimes and other organizations to prevent serious birth defects of the brain and spine known as neural tube defects (NTDs).
Folic acid fortification saves babies every year
Folic acid is critical for healthy neurological development in babies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates folic acid fortification in the U.S. has saved about 1,300 babies each year from fatal or devastating birth defects. The body's neural tube closes early in embryonic development, often before a woman knows she's pregnant; and up to 50 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned. On top of that, national surveys by the Gallup Organization show that only about one-third of women were actually taking a daily multivitamin with folic acid beginning before pregnancy as advised.
In 1998, folic acid began to be included in all enriched grain products as required by the FDA. Since then, the CDC was able to demonstrate that fortification had decreased NTDs by about 27 percent. But Hispanic babies were still much more likely to be affected by an NTD. Many health experts believed this was because corn masa flour, which is used in foods commonly consumed in the Hispanic community such as tortillas, was not required to be fortified with folic acid.
Journey to fortify corn masa flour
The March of Dimes and their partners, including the Gruma Corporation which makes Mission brand products, wanted to change this so they filed a petition to the FDA. Due to concerns about how adding folic acid might affect corn masa flour the FDA requested additional information on shelf
stability. Unfortunately, that information wasn't already available. So, the March of Dimes funded a study and submitted the results to the FDA in October 2015. Cynthia Pellegrini, senior vice president of public policy at the March of Dimes said, "[The] FDA worked closely with us to design a study that garnered the information needed to establish the safety of this action. We're thrilled at the outcome and feel confident that it will address the disparities we've seen in the Latino community and will give even more babies a healthy start in life."
Check the label
After reviewing the research submitted by the March of Dimes coalition, the FDA announced earlier this year that staple foods like tortillas, tamales, pupusas, chips and taco shells will be fortified with folic acid. This is great news for parents and babies! Companies like Gruma Corporation have said that their folic acid fortified tortillas, chips, etc. will hit shelves this fall. So, the next time you are at the store be sure to check the label on your tortillas to see if they have been fortified with folic acid.

Hello again! I have another card from the Spring/Easter Make and Take. This is the second one we made. I saw a card on Karen Squire's blog that I knew I just HAD to make because it was just so darn cute! So here it is:
- Stamps: Everybunny
- Card Stock: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Very Vanilla
- DSP: Everyday Enchantment
- Ink: Black Stazon, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Sahara Sand
- Accessories: Blender Pen, Labels Framelits, Edgelits, 1-3/4" x 7/8" Oval Punch, Modern Label Punch, 2" x 1-3/8" Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Calypso Coral Organza Ribbon, Everyday Enchantment Brads, Stampin' Sponge, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack
I started off with a piece of Calypso Coral card stock cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4". Then I sponged Soft Suede ink around the top, bottom, and fold sides of the card front. Next I cut a piece of Everyday Enchantment DSP 4" x 5-1/4". I ran it through the Big Shot with the curvy Edgelit to cut one edge. Then I sponged around all four sides with Soft Suede ink and adhered the DSP onto the card front.
Now that the DSP is glued onto the card front I cut the edge of the card front with the curvy Edgelit. I find it's easiest to get the shapes lined up if the shorter layer is already glued into place. Then I sponged the now curvy edge of the Calypso Coral card stock with Soft Suede ink.
Next I stamped the adorable bunny in the egg from Everybunny onto Very Vanilla card stock in Black Stazon ink and punched out the bunny with the 2" x 1-3/8" Oval Punch. To color in the bunny I used the Blender Pen with Sahara Sand, Pool Party, and Calypso Coral ink pads. To do this, squeeze the center of the ink pad while it is closed, then open up the ink pad half-way and use the blender pen to pick up the ink off the lid of the ink pad and apply it to your image. By coloring this way you get a very soft watercolor look to your image. After I was done coloring I sponged around the edges of the oval with Soft Suede ink.
Then I cut a piece of Pool Party card stock 2" x 2-1/2" and ran it through the Big Shot with the smallest Labels Framelit. I also cut a piece of Calypso Coral card stock 2-1/2" x 3" and ran it through the Big Shot with the second-smallest Labels Framelit. Then I sponged the edges on both labels. The Calypso Coral label was adhered directly onto the top of the card front. The Pool Party label was adhered behind the bunny oval and was adhered on top of the Calypso Coral label with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Now for the greeting. I stamped the greeting from Everybunny onto a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock in Calypso Coral ink and punched it out with the 1-3/4" x 7/8" Oval punch and sponged around the edges with Soft Suede ink. I then used the Modern Label punch on a scrap of Calypso Coral card stock and adhered the modern label behind the greeting oval. In this picture the modern label was not sponged like everything else. I didn't notice it at the time, but later I took it off, sponged the edges and put it back on and it looks much better! The greeting was adhered onto the bottom of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Now I just wanted to add the pretty Calypso Coral ribbon. So I tied a bow in the pretty Organza Ribbon and trimmed the ends. I used the Paper Piercer and Mat Pack to pierce a hole in the card front just under the Framelit labels. I spread the prongs on an Everyday Enchantment brad and placed the knot of the bow between the prongs. Then I closed the prongs just enough to get them through the hole and spread the prongs on the inside of the card front.
This card definitely took more time than some of the others, but it was just too cute to resist. Thank you Karen for the inspiration! You can find Karen Squires card HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!

When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your treatment. The retention phase lasts for a minimum of 24 months but in order to maintain the finished result, we recommend continuing to wear your retainers at night as long as possible. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you've put in so far. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
All orthodontic cases require some form of retention. Most cases are best retained using removable retainers. There are several varieties of removable retainers, and the doctor will recommend what is best for you. You must be very careful when handling your retainers, as they are fragile and costly to replace. You are given a special case for your retainer; please make sure you keep them in this case when not wearing it! To clean these retainers, brush them with toothpaste or a gentle hand soap and warm water every day.
Your retainers should be worn every night following braces removal. Remember: the only way to keep your teeth straight is to consistently wear your retainers! All teeth will move back (relapse) without the use of retainers!
In some cases, the doctor may recommend using bonded retainers on either the front top or bottom teeth. A bonded retainer is a small wire glued to the back of the teeth. Bonded retainers require extra attention to brushing and flossing and are more prone to breakage than removable retainers. Not all patients are good candidates for bonded retainers! Bonded retainers are NOT permanent retainers and often still require the patient to wear an overlaying removable retainer in order to maintain straight teeth.
Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you've put in so far!

Deputies searching for 30 who fled dog fight in Polk | Crime
HAINES CITY, Florida (AP) - More than 30 people who attended a central Florida dog fight could face charges.
Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies broke up the fight Saturday after getting an anonymous tip. One person was arrested and four dogs taken into custody by animal control. At least eight vehicles fled, but 15 others were abandoned at the grove, along with cellphones and money. Detectives are tracking down the cars' owners.
Sheriff Grady Judd says he'll aggressively pursue the cases but the investigations will take time.
Levern Gamble was charged with attending an animal fight. Authorities say he admitted to driving up from Miami.
The dogs will either be euthanized or given to rescue organizations.
Grady told The Ledger of Lakeland underground fighting networks use portable rings and determine the location at the last minute.

Courts making custody awards in divorce cases in Missouri must consider, first and foremost, the best interests of the children involved. While every situation is different, a judge will begin by presuming that children benefit from maintaining "frequent, continuing and meaningful contact with both parents" and from having both parents "participate in decisions affecting the health, education and welfare of their children." (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 452.375.4.)
Missouri law provides courts with guidance by listing some of the factors that a judge should consider in making a decision about what's in a child's best interest. These generally fall into a few basic categories:
The safety of the child is always a primary concern. A judge who finds that a parent poses a risk of physical harm either to the child or to another person in the child's family or household may limit visitation or may order supervised visitation. If a parent or a person living with the parent has been convicted of (or has pled guilty to) certain felonies involving sexual assault or exploitation of a child, the court will not award custody to that parent, and will require that visitation, if any, be supervised. While a parent must be able to provide for a child's physical needs, a parent's greater or lesser financial resources aren't a factor in determining the child's best interests.
A judge will consider the quality of the relationship between the child and each parent and each parent's ability and desire to devote time to the child. The age and sex of the parent, and the age and sex of a child, are not considered relevant factors. Courts generally favor stable living arrangements and will consider a child's current adjustment to home and community, as well as whether or not either parent has a plan to change the child's current living situation. A court will also consider a child's adjustment to school, including home schooling, but will not base a decision solely on the basis that a child has been home-schooled. Courts favor arrangements that allow children to maintain relationships with siblings and other people who are important to the child. Missouri courts may also award visitation rights to grandparent if this is in a child's best interests. If the judge believes that a child is old enough and mature enough to make intelligent choices, then the judge may allow the child to state a preference as to custody.
Missouri law places a strong emphasis on the ability of each parent to foster a positive relationship between the child and the other parent. Unless there is good reason to believe that contact with the other parent is likely to be harmful to the child, the law requires each parent to encourage frequent contact with the other. Courts also expect parents to be able to resolve most disputes with each other amicably, without resorting to unnecessary court actions.
The term "custody" includes both legal custody, which refers to a parent's authority to participate in major decisions regarding a child's health, education, or general welfare; and physical custody, which refers to the time that a child is residing with a parent or is under the care and supervision of a parent. Missouri law favors shared parental decision making and frequent contact with both parents, and a court will not deny joint physical or legal custody simply because one parent is against it.
At the same time, a judge is not required to grant joint custody and will consider any combination of legal and physical custody which is in the best interests of a child. Joint physical custody does not necessarily mean that a child will spend equal or even approximately equal amounts of time with each parent. Judges often find that it's in a child's best interest to have a primary physical home base, with a parenting plan designating specific times to be spent at the other parent's home. Even where physical custody approximates a 50/50 time share, the residence of one parent must be designated as the child's address for mailing purposes and for determining school attendance.
Missouri law requires parents to submit proposed parenting plans either jointly or individually to the court soon after the beginning of a divorce case. This presents an opportunity for parents to work together to come up with a schedule that will work for everyone. Parents should keep in mind that the needs of children change according to age, and plans may need to be modified and adapted as children grow. A plan may include a method for review under specified circumstances, such as when a child reaches a certain age, as well as a method for resolving any disputes which may arise in the future. Where the parties cannot agree on an acceptable plan, the judge will develop one and will detail the factors considered in determining that the plan is in the child's best interests.

Definition / general
- Resembles undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma
- Large pleomorphic cells with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli arranged in syncytia with a prominent inflammatory infiltrate
- Given overall rarity and similarities with lymphoepithelioma-like urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, some information and pictures are extracted from bladder, where appropriate
Essential features
- Very rare
- Resembles undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma but EBV negative
- Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC)
- Very rare in renal pelvis (~ 10 cases reported)
- Ages 68 - 79, M = F
- Renal pelvis, ureter, bladder
- No documented association with EBV (Mod Pathol 1998;11:1252, Mod Pathol 2009;22:S96, Mod Pathol 2007;20:828)
Clinical features
- Most common presenting symptom is gross hematuria
- Majority presents at stage T2 or higher (Mod Pathol 2007;20:828)
Prognostic factors
- In bladder, quantity of lymphoepithelioma-like features impacts prognosis:
- Pure or predominant (< 50%) form appears to have more favorable outcome, potentially due to host response or timing of presentation (Adv Anat Pathol 2008;15:218)
- If focal (< 50%), has similar outcome to stage matched high grade urothelial carcinoma (Adv Anat Pathol 2008;15:218)
Case reports
- 70 year old man (Mod Pathol 1998;11:1252)
- 75 year old women (Int J Urol 2007;14:851, Int J Urol 2007;14:1093)
- First reported case in renal pelvis (Pathology 1999;31:434)
- Combination of surgery and chemotherapy has better clinical response (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2007;131:1244)
- Resection, +/- radiotherapy, but too few cases to establish optimal treatment
Gross description
- Solid, white mass
Microscopic (histologic) description
- Syncytial arrangement of large, pleomorphic cells with indistinct cytoplasmic borders, vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, mitotic activity and inflammatory infiltrate (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2007;131:1244)
- Inflammatory infiltrate composed of polyclonal B and T cells, histiocytes, plasma cells (Adv Anat Pathol 2008;15:218)
- Overlying epithelium may be dysplastic (Mod Pathol 2006;19:494, Mod Pathol 2007;20:828)
Microscopic (histologic) images
Positive stains
Negative stains
Differential diagnosis
- High grade lymphoma: atypical cells are cytokeratin+ in a polyclonal B and T cell background; lymphoma is cytokeratin negative with monoclonal lymphocytes
- High grade urothelial carcinoma with dense inflammatory infiltrate: no syncytial arrangement, no ill defined cell bordersm no vesicular nuclei of LELC
- Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: although both may have syncytial arrangement and inflammatory infiltrate, LELC contains large, highly atypical, cytokeratin+ cells vs. xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, which is composed of bland CD68+ histiocytes

tide / Home
tide is a light-weight application framework based on the plugin framework Hydra from RemObjects and the WinForms controls from DevExpress (not to be confused with DevExpress's own XAF, which is a full blown application scaffolding and ORM framework).
- The framework should make it very easy to expose the features of the DevExpress controls – runtime grid customization, runtime layout customization, theme and skin changes
- The framework should be very loose, allowing pretty much any type of application to be built (adhering to a few UI guidelines and paradigms)
- The framework should still allow for a high degree of integration between the plugins themselves and between the plugins and host
- The plugins and host should be capable of being designed using the native designers (eg. using the DevExpress designers to design toolbars, ribbons, etc. rather than some other "description" that gets passed to the host and merged into the UI)
- The framework should be very light – as little code and as well written as possible to get things done
The project currently of a host executable and a couple of assemblies. The host doesn't really do much of anything except display a form. Using Hydra visual and non-visual plugins, the host can be expanded with plugins for branding (company name, application name, etc.), plugins for displaying individual pages of options within the host's settings dialog, plugins for displaying browse screens and details screens, generic dockable windows, and more.
- The Ribbon control from DevExpress – design Ribbon control in the plugins and have them merged automatically into a single ribbon at runtime in the host
- The NavBar control from DevExpress – as with the Ribbon, design the NavBar controls and groups within the plugins at design-time and they are merged automatically into the host's NavBar at runtime
- The DX Ribbon StatusBar – design the StatusBar right on the plugin's design surface and the StatusBar items are merged into the host's StatusBar at runtime
- XtraPrinting – return a printable object from your plugin and the host automatically supports printing that object, along with exporting to HTML, PDF, XLS, and more (available from the Ribbon application menu)
- XtraBars Docking – visual plugins can be automatically hosted in the application as dockable windows (with customized position, caption, image, etc)
- XtraGrid support – grid layouts are automatically saved to, and restored from, XML at runtime
- Support for XtraLayout – layout controls parents on visual plugins automatically have their layouts saved to, and restored from, XML
- Automatic spell checking with XtraSpellChecker – edit controls within plugins automatically get spell-checking support
- Capable of loading Delphi plugins – by using Hydra, the host application is able to host both visual and non-visual plugins written in Delphi as well (and the DevExpress VCL components are there to give a matching look and feel)
The source ships with example plugins based on the Northwind database, which can be downloaded from various sources online.
There are articles available online that walk through the steps of creating the Northwind example: 1, 2, 3, 4

IFA Paris held its graduates' Fashion Show @ 2015 Shanghai Fashion Week, where 16 students showed 46 looks for a fast paced show that took the audience from woodlands to wildflowers, from the sea to the stars.
All works were created from the graduates of IFA Paris: these young designers are from China, France, Britain, India, Ghana, Zimbabwe, etc. Like many designers from other countries, they had to study professional knowledge of Language and Fashion. They built a diversified international class environment and got a global fashion view as well.
Any culture exist two extreme manifestations. The active part is the developing trend of global fashion, and the fashion circle is getting closer to the youth, including new technology, brand-new texture, and fashionable sport style, which is popular for several seasons.
Vinosupraja Audikesavalu, student from India, is the gold medal gainer of 2014 academy's annual graduation project. Therefore, she got the full scholarship of fashion design master degree's course in Paris campus. Vino left us a deep impression not only in the exquisite craft and unique design philosophy, but also in her magnificent short film of the design philosophy.
Ruonan SUN is one of 2014 IFA Paris' top ten students. Her inspiration came from sport shoes, and she tried to deliver an active city attitude of athleticism. So she mixed several elements like the shape of sport shoes, shoelace, shoe sole print, and used popular high-tech texture like air interlayer and ventilate jersey. The print of the garment constituted from different running shoes, using digital printing technology, looks bright in color, thus the ensemble amazed the whole audience.
Over the years, IFA Paris cultured students' professional skill, and at the same time pay great attention to let them keep a foothold in a professional way in the fiercely competitive international fashion industry. After they baptized by the traditional French fashion education, they came to realize their own culture's distinctiveness, and the influence to their design philosophy. They extended, innovated and developed traditional craft and texture, which made common people discover the hope light of international fashion design's new blood!

A ship of the line, line-of-battle ship or lineship was a type of naval warship man-of-war constructed from the 17th century through the mid-18th century, and mounting 50-120 cannons. They had two, three, or the rare four gundecks, not counting forecastle and quarterdeck. Ships of the Line were usually square rigged.
Ships of the Line fought in the naval tactic known as the line-of-battle (hence their name), in which one or two columns of opposing warships would sail at each other each firing broadsides in succession at the enemy ship leading the enemy line. The reason for this was the slow reload of muzzle-loading cannons. With the line-of-battle tactic, more shot is fired at the lead enemy ship than if the ships remained stationary, reloading over periods of 2-5 minutes. Since these engagements were almost invariably won by the heaviest ships carrying the most powerful guns, the natural state of progression was to build the largest, most powerful sailing vessels at the time. If a vessel in the line was to sink or blow up, the line breaks.
Ship of the Line ratingsEdit
Ships of the Line were classified into four rates. First rates, like the HMS Dauntless and the HMS Endeavour, had 100 or more cannons, with 3-4 gundecks. Second rates carried 90-98 cannons, spread over three gundecks. Third rates carried 64-80 cannons, over two gundecks. Third rates were very common ships of the line, especially the heavy, yet agile 74 gunner. Fourth rates carried 50-60 cannons, and could only be considered ships of the line if they had a minimum of two gundecks. If they had less than two gundecks, they would be considered frigates.

On Monday, it was announced that the Victorian Attorney-General, the Hon Martin Pakula MP, has asked the Victorian Law Reform Commission (VLRC) to review the rules covering litigation funders to prevent unfair conduct in civil proceedings, such as class actions.
The review by the VLRC will consider issues such as:
- circumstances where a successful outcome is eroded by fees, leaving plaintiffs with nothing (or next to nothing), despite winning;
- whether some third parties are unfairly profiting from successful actions;
- the existing prohibition on law firms charging contingency fees and whether that prohibition should be retained.
In announcing the review, the Attorney-General commented, 'It is incredibly frustrating when a person wins a case, only to walk away almost empty-handed because the money has been soaked up by unfair legal fees. …. The days of some litigation funders charging such excessive fees need to come to an end.'
The VLRC is required to provide its report to the Government by 30 March 2018. As part of its review, the VLRC will consider submissions from interested parties. Actions funded by litigation funders can have a significant impact on many parties, particularly insurers, and insurers are therefore encouraged to have their voice heard by making submissions to the VLRC.

Juliet Sevilla is a 17-year-old mother living in Anda Barangay of New Bataan municipality in Compostela Valley Province, which was hit by Typhoon Bopha in December 2012. After the storm, Juliet received an LWR Mission Quilt, Baby Care Kit, Personal Care Kit and toothpaste from Lutheran World Relief. She told the following story to our staff in the Philippines.
I let the rain wash my face as tears of pain and sorrow engulfed me.
We were perched up on the roof where our family sought refuge from the storm.
I closed my eyes for a moment of silence and prayed for all those who had gone before us.
With my eyes closed, I heard cries of desperation rush through my head over and over and over again.
I heard my brother shout and cry for help. But now, he is nowhere to be found. It breaks my heart, but we were all helpless and hopeless.
Amidst the darkness strong winds blew and streams of raging flood waters rushed by.
I heard many of my neighbors pleading, grieving, crying for help…screaming in hysteria and shrieking in anguish. The wrath of Mother Nature was unimaginable.
Beyond the horizon I saw the remains of trees struggling to protect humanity. But alas, they failed.
Typhoon Bopha left our beloved hometown destitute and muddled with debris, rubbish and broken lives.
Unbelievable, but true. After the storm, it is calm. The breeze is sweet and cool. Over my head, the darkness is filled with stars and the shining moon, which brings a spark of hope for the days ahead.
We are lucky that people have come from all over to help rebuild our lives and bring us hope.
Thanks to LWR, I have now blankets, clothes and socks to warm my baby during cold rainy nights.
Typhoon Bopha has left a scar that obliges us to do our share of preserving what God has given us and to build better for the future. With guidance from God, we can each make a difference and rebuild our lives.
As I awake from this bad dream, I can see the breaking of a new dawn with illuminating rays of hope from the Creator.

Online Auction For Numbered Delaware Surf Fishing Tags Information
DOVER (Nov. 5, 2015) – Would-be buyers who didn't cast their bids high enough to land one of the low-digit Delaware State Parks surf tags sold at auction last weekend by DNREC's Division of Parks & Recreation will be happy to know that online auctions for the tags will continue through the holiday season until the end of the year. After a stirring conclusion to the first auction where one of the tags sold for more than $20,000, DNREC Secretary David Small and the Division of Parks & Recreation also expressed gratitude today to successful bidders who bought the low-digit tags – reiterating that all revenue generated by sales of the surf tags directly benefits Delaware State Parks.
The low-digit surf tags can now be bid on during weekly seven-day online auctions, which begin each Wednesday and end the following Tuesday. Surf-fishing enthusiasts and Delaware State Parks supporters interested in the tags – perhaps as holiday gifts for that special surf-fishing someone – are encouraged to go online at USGovbid.com and bid for the tags. Prospective bidders also should be aware that only 100 of the low-digit surf tag will be sold this year, which means the online auctions will receive plenty of attention. The current auction – which ends Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. – features 12 low-digit plates: 22, 33, 44, 66, 77, 333, choice 31 – 59, choice 61 – 99, choice 101- 199, choice 202 -299, choice 301- 399 and choice 401 – 499.
Secretary Small called the first auctions of the surf tags a "tremendous success" that "really showed Delawareans both love their low-numbered tags and our beautiful state parks. Their bids paid more than lip service in showing it – and DNREC and Delaware State Parks can't emphasize enough that this support enables the recently-named No. 1 state parks system in the country to continue offering Delawareans and out-of-state visitors the destination trips that will live up to that highest ranking."
The first live auction of the surf tags took place Oct. 31 at the "Booo-B-Que" event at Delaware Seashore State Park, where 17 tags sold for $113,700, with the highest price ($20,500) paid for surf-tag No. 2. Meanwhile, the Division of Parks & Recreation's first-ever online auction closed on Sunday evening with the sale of an additional 15 tags that generated $67,452 from 294 different bids. The total revenue generated from the first two sales was $181,152, at an average bid of $5,661 each.
"We are overwhelmed with the response at our first two auctions," said Division of Parks & Recreation/Delaware State Parks Director Ray Bivens. "We are grateful to State Representative Dave Wilson – who volunteered his time to auction the first and last tags at the 'Boooo-B-Que.' We also want to thank former State Representative John Atkins for persevering to make the surf tag sales a reality through the General Assembly, and Governor Markell for signing HB 348 into law enabling sales of the low-digit plates. We are excited now about the weekly auctions online and we are already planning future live auctions for next spring and summer at the beach."
Director Bivens also encouraged bidders to act fast on the remaining tags that will be auctioned off this year if they're aiming to get a particular number. "By popular request, the current auction and future auctions offer a number of choice options that enables bidders to pick their favorite number from a range of available tags," he said.

Testing EE's 4G network: What speeds can you expect?
EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) launched its new 4G mobile networks this morning, pledging to supporting 70% of the UK by the end of the year and 98% by 2014. But already, its networks are operational in four cities across Britain, and we've had the opportunity to take it through its paces.
EE says that its networks are five times faster than its current 3G networks, meaning you can download data and update your social networking feeds with a quickness. The company touts download speeds of up to 40Mbps per second and upload speeds of up to 15Mbps a second.
This is what we saw, testing devices at the Science Museum in London:
Compare this with a T-Mobile 3G (HSPA+) connection:
The four cities – London, Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham – have been switched today and EE's engineers will live-test and integrate the company's systems in preparation for a wider customer launch.
If you're in London, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Belfast, Southampton, Hull, Nottingham or Derby, that customer launch will be before the end of the year.
Read next: These are the devices that will soon be available on EE's 4G network

Macdonald, William Bell (DNB00)
MACDONALD, WILLIAM BELL (1807–1862), linguist, eldest son of Donald Macdonald, by Mary, daughter of William Bell of Rammerscales, near Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire, was born in Scotland in 1807, and was educated at the university of Glasgow, where he graduated B.A. 1827. After studying medicine he served as surgeon in Sir Pulteney Malcolm's flagship in the Mediterranean from 1828 to 1831, and was afterwards a commissioner of supply.
He was one of the greatest linguists of his time, making a special study of Coptic, and could translate an old Scottish song into German, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. On the death of an uncle named Bell he succeeded to the estate of Rammerscales, where he collected a large and valuable library. For some years he represented the burgh of Lochmaben in the general assembly of the church of Scotland. He died at 114 West Campbell Street, Glasgow, 5 Dec. 1862, and was buried in Dalton churchyard. He married in 1839 Helen, third daughter of Thomas Johnstone of Underwood.
Macdonald published: 1. 'Lusus Philologici. Ex Museo Gul. B. Macdonald,' Rammerscales, 1851. 2. 'Ten Scottish Songs rendered into German,' 1854. 3. 'Sketch of a Coptic Grammar adapted for Self-Tuition,' 1856. To the Ray Society in 1846 he communicated reports on zoology and botany translated from the German.
[Gent. Mag. March 1863, p. 390; Inglis's Dramatic Writers of Scotland, 1868, p. 71; Dumfries and Galloway Standard, 17 Dec. 1862, p. 64.]

Chinese firms are already involved in dozens of infrastructure projects in Panama. And that number is expected to increase with growing ties.
CGTN's Roee Ruttenberg has more from Panama City.
Earlier this month, Panama's President Juan Carlos Varela broke ground on a modern deep-water port in Colon. It's being built by China Landbridge Group, a private firm that acquired the area next to the Atlantic entrance of the newly expanded Panama Canal.
"Today begins the most important Chinese investment in Panama with the construction of this terminal port in Isla Margarita in Colon an investment of around $700 million, a container port that can handle 2.5 million containers, with the capacity to receive the large Neopanamax ships," Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela said.
The next week, in Beijing, in a surprise move, Varela's government announced it had established diplomatic relations with China.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, construction continued on Ciudad Esperanza, or City of Hope.
When completed in 2018, it'll include more than 2000 homes, a university, and a government building.
A Chinese state-owned enterprise is overseeing the project on the outskirts of Panama City. Work began more than a year before last week's announcement.
Panama's government also asked the firm to take over another project in the capital. When it's finished next year – rain or shine – the Amador Convention Center will be the largest in Central America. CCA said it'll be the jewel of Panama, and of its work here.
The company is already bidding on three more government projects. And is looking at funding some of its own development projects in Pamana.
More are expected, as relations take off in the coming years.

If you live in the Bay or spend any time in the city of SF, many of the pieces will be familar to you already. And you will also notice that there is a lot of street art that is not included, and also some that has already disappeared.

CCSO Bust Two Large Unrelated Illegal Marijuana Grows In Calaveras
The Calaveras Sheriff's Office Marijuana Enforcement Team served two consecutive and unrelated search warrants on Thursday. The first was located off Railroad Flat Road in Railroad Flat. This location was previously the site of an attempted marijuana robbery in October of 2015 which resulted in the shooting death of three persons. Deputies located a trailer with primitive living conditions and an outdoor cooking area; however no persons were present at the time of the search warrant. 201 large marijuana plants were seized and destroyed pursuant to the search warrant.
The second site was located in the 4400 block of Hunt Road in Copperopolis. This location contained several acres of olive trees. Deputies located an elaborate marijuana growing operation concealed within the rows of the trees which included raised planter beds, lighting, and irrigation. In total, 2097 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed from the olive orchard. Both investigations are ongoing.

I picked up some new art for my office the other day. Our friend Dave who owns the Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar does some pretty awesome wood block prints so when I caught up with him recently I made sure to get a couple. The coolest thing about these is that they're both test pieces that he did before attempting to carve them into 4×8 sheets of plywood. There's an event on CB where artists have a steamroller drive over their giant carved sheets of plywood to print the image onto huge canvases. So rad! Anyway, I don't have enough wall space for the big ones so I got these instead and just pretend. Now that the weather's getting nice, head on over to Ocean Grill and try the Crabcake Sandwich, and if you see Dave, buy some art too!
I've been using these swivel snap hooks as key chains for a while now and was inspired to make it look a little cooler than just a hook I picked up from a hardware store. Not that there's anything wrong with that; I just wanted a reason to use more leather and rivets I guess. I didn't come up with the design — they've been around for years (it's pretty classic), but I may play around with it depending on what materials I come across, so they may evolve. I like that it's understated, versatile and nice and at the same time manly. If you're interested in seeing how many different ways you can use one of your own, go here. And by the way, most of the photos on this blog are taken by my wonderful and talented wife, Jen. All the bad ones are mine.
About 8 or 9 years ago I picked up a simple leather wallet because it had one of my favorite japanese wood block prints embossed on it and would fit in my front pocket just fine (because I don't really like sitting on a wallet). I've been carrying it ever since. I'm an avid lover of simplicity and quality in design, and this has fit the bill for close to a decade without showing any signs of wearing out. However, Jen ends up with lots of leftover leather and the other day while wondering what to do with all these scraps, we decided to collaborate on making one of my favorite carrying companions I've ever had.
Here it is. My new wallet, even though I didn't need it because I think my old one is made of some kind of super leather. It's minus the wood block print of course, but it's actually lower profile and softer. Probably means it won't last as long, but I won't know for a while. Can't wait to see how it breaks in.
We don't usually do anything too crazy to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's a good thing too because Jen's birthday is in just two weeks followed shortly by our anniversary. Since it looks like it will be this way forever, Valentine's will have to remain a warm up to the serious celebrating. Which is why I was a little surprised by this super awesome computer sleeve Jen made me. (She knew I'd been wanting one.) I have the best, most thoughtful (not to mention beautiful and talented) wife in all of the whole wide world. Thanks for setting the bar high love!
So I made a neck tie. I've always enjoyed dressing up and haven't exactly "needed" to since my job is a casual dress environment. But with the cooler weather I've welcomed the opportunity to fancy up a bit. Jen got me a really sweet vintage skinny tie while in Brooklyn last month, and it inspired me to try my hand at sewing more than just buttons and the occasional repair. I rifled through all her scrap fabrics until I found some manly wool suiting material, searched online for some direction, ruined a perfectly good tie (not the vintage one) to make a modified pattern and 9 hours later I had a custom handmade tie. It took longer to make the pattern than the actual tie. So my second effort, which is this one, only took 3 hours, and I'm kind of stoked on it. Also, now I know why nice ties are so expensive. If you find a cheap one, don't buy it — it's made by slaves. Now that I've forayed into the realm of sewing, apparently nothing's off limits.
About 2 months ago I started working with a buddy of mine who builds custom homes. Nice custom beach homes. The million dollar kind. So when he said the project I was going to help him on was a detached garage I should have known you'd be able to fit my entire house inside it. It's been one of the most interesting projects I've ever been involved in for a few reasons. First, I've never built a structure like this from the ground up. I can now check that off the list of life, and it really is a good feeling. I have mad respect for builders like Brian Shelton who take their time and do things right, even when it costs more. Second, I can't tell you how much I've learned on this job site. It's funny how much you think you know going into something only to be humbled the first day. I gotta thank Brian for pouring years and years of knowledge into me and being patient while I got the hang of it. It's cool how when you allow yourself to be taught by forgetting you know anything at all, you can look back after a while and see serious growth. It doesn't hurt when the teacher is a master carpenter. I started off soft physically too, and have felt the benefits of hard labor. My skinny fat left around week 6 or so. The homeowner we built this garage for said hard work never hurt anyone. He would know too — he's a tug boat pilot on the cape fear river, the kind that maneuver the huge cargo ships in and out, through the bridges with a foot of clearance on each side. I could write a whole blog on this dude alone. If anyone complains about their job or that they work too hard, just have one conversation with him and you'll walk away feeling weak. I promise. Can you imagine being on call 24/7? Not being able to leave town even for a day? Enjoy a beer after a long day because you might get a call any minute for an all nighter, or even an all weekender? Like I said, what I learned on this job has benefitted me where I didn't even know I needed it. Besides that, it was also just plain fun. I'm sad to see it come to an end, but like all good things . . . Here are some pics of the process; you can fit his 40 ft. RV on one side, regular cars and motorcycles and workshop on the other, and a finished apartment upstairs. Can't wait to find out what God has in store next to work on.
p.s. Yes, it's getting painted barn red in case you were wondering.

Before my dad has a heart attack, let me be clear that I am not having kids anytime soon!!!
However, I do take care of the most adorable 8-month-old baby, J, once a week and therefore have to change a few diapers – and believe it or not, I haven't had to change a poopy one yet! The little guy is just a peeing machine!
Also, I do want kids someday, so I'll be changing a million more diapers in the future.
When I interviewed with the wonderful family I babysit for, I asked J's mom if they used cloth or disposable diapers. She said they had considered cloth diapers because of the environmental impact of disposables, but concluded that both types have about the same impact anyway because of the energy used for laundering cloth diapers. I didn't know if this was true, but honestly felt some relief – I had never changed a cloth diaper and I imagined it to be a little trickier than changing disposables.
Every family needs to make this decision for themselves. I'll be making it someday, and I thought about it more when I read an article written by a pediatrician and father in my weekly Green For Good e-newsletter. Here's a little bit of what he had to say about the results of a study that considered the impacts of disposable, home-laundered, and commercially-laundered diapers:
This study found that overall environmental impact is about the same for all three options they did consider; the biggest impact is on global warming, resource depletion and acidification. For disposable diapers, the most significant impact comes during manufacture; for home-laundered diapers, the primary impact comes from the electricity used in washing and drying; for commercially laundered diapers, the biggest impact comes from use of fuels and electricity.
Thus, according to the Environment Agency, if you choose cloth diapers, the first focus should be on reducing the energy used during washing and drying and reducing fuels and emissions during transportation. If you choose disposable diapers, focus first on greener manufacturing, such as used by the Eco-Diapers mentioned previously.
I also read what Green Parenting blogger Kathleen Ridihalgh had to say about disposable diapers here and here.
As a non-mom, I'm obviously not an authority on this subject, but here's what I think based on what I've read: no matter what kind of diapers you use, there will be some form of environmental impact. This reasoning could be used to make the case for disposable diapers, but I have a hard time accepting that when I think about all those stinky bundles clogging up landfills.
Although I've never changed a cloth diaper, I still imagine it's a bit more work – but if you start out using them with your first baby, you'd probably never miss the convenience of disposables. However, I think of how I exhausted I am after taking care of little J for only six hours at a time and wonder how cloth diaper moms and dads can bear the additional task of dealing with the inconvenience! But then I think about the greater good of the planet and how it would all be worth it.
My hat's off to moms and dads everywhere, no matter what kind of diapers you use. My time with baby J is SO much fun, but believe me – he and I are equally excited when his mommy comes home in the afternoon. He is the cutest little thing, but I definitely need to build up my upper body strength before I have kids. The first time took care of him, my arms felt like I'd bench-pressed a hippo the next day.
So, green mommies and daddies: cloth or disposable diapers? Feel free to make your case to an aspiring-to-be-green gal who also looks forward to being a green mommy someday.

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE DENTAL CARE USED FOR?Restorative dental care is often needed when the teeth are damaged or have infection or decay. If the structure of your teeth is affected by severe trauma, we recommend this type of dental care without delay. Restoring teeth to a healthier state helps protect your oral health from further infection. Damaged teeth can lose a significant amount of strength and there is a higher chance of harming the various layers of tooth enamel. Restorative dental care addresses following problems:
HOW TO KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR YOUWhen you visit Crossroads Family Dentistry, you can be sure that our staff will efficiently assess any damage to your teeth. During the assessment, dental x-rays will be taken to uncover any damage that is hidden from view. There are cases in which a tooth may already be damaged or decayed, but difficult to spot. Once we have all the information we need, your dentist will walk you through a thorough detailed discussion about which treatment best suits your individual needs. Crossroads Family Dentistry understands that no two patients are the same, and that's why we want to help customize dental treatment plans for all our patients.
Single Tooth ImplantsA dental implant is a titanium post designed to replace missing teeth. The post is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth is missing, and provides a more permanent solution.

Read more about Fillings.
