Ophthalmology has seen vast advances in surgical options for vision correction, cataracts, and glaucoma, but fewer treatment options exist for many conditions that affect the retina and the other less accessible parts of the eye. AMD is one of the several conditions that may respond well to stem cell therapy.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
The macula is the smallish, central area of the retina (the lining of the back wall of the eye), which is highly sensitive to light and color and allows you to see fine, colorful details. Minor degrees of macular degeneration are commonly experienced as people age. However, the condition progresses more rapidly in certain individuals to a severe degree. Symptoms include blurriness, distortion, and dark spots in the central field of vision. For example, a person with an advanced stage of macular degeneration might be able to see all the large numbers on a clock but not the hands in the middle.
Current Treatment Options
A high-dose vitamin and mineral supplement called AREDS may slow vision loss in patients who already have advanced AMD. In cases of neovascular AMD, where damage is caused by abnormal blood vessels developing under the macula, treatment options include injections, laser surgery, and photodynamic therapy. None of these treatment options restores vision, however, and the condition may continue to progress unabated despite treatment.
Stem Cell Therapy
There is hope that stem cells may prove useful in the treatment of AMD and other kinds of vision problems. As part of the Cell Surgical Network, we are interested in the potential of stromal vascular fraction (SVF), which contains mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors. Unlike other forms of stem cell therapy, using SVF obviates the need to culture the stem cells in a lab, since millions of stem cells can be obtained by a minimally invasive mini-liposuction procedure. Treatment is applied using a local anesthetic, and the whole process is performed as an outpatient procedure in about three hours.
Other Conditions
In addition to macular degeneration, stem cell therapy may prove useful for other ophthalmologic conditions including diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, retinal detachments, optic neuritis, and Leber's optic neuropathy. With the help of ophthalmology consultants, our network has designed efficient treatment protocols that emphasize safety.

Sirk TV Travel Feature: A Midnight Run To Doha: The Undeniable Efficiency Of A 36 Hour Qatar Journey
Leaving on a jet plane upon a Midnight Run always makes for some interesting logistics. The reality is that the increasing routing that Qatar Airways is implementing to and from the U.S. makes it more and more tempting, both from a logical and enjoyable point of view. Instead of having to go through Europe to get to an African or Far East destination, the hub of undeniable poise is Doha just to the northwest of Abu Dhabi and just south of Bahrain on the Persian Gulf. The interesting thing is that you can leave most eastern U.S. ports that the airline services as well as others like Houston, get there around dinnertime in Doha and then leave on your next leg at 1am when the hub is bustling. Which brings us to the structure of this exercise. Qatar and back to the U.S. with an 8 hour layover of good food and relaxation in 36 hours. It sounds like a lot but it is also another adventure. And using business class you can enjoy it without every leaving the airport. First the highlights of structure…then the food.
Once you land in Doha, there is the option of proceeding directly through security to the lounge with a punctual and attentive Qatar Airways concierge greets you at the plan. Everything is sleek and well oiled. An early (or late espresso) seals the progression before heading over to The Airport Hotel. Despite its basic name, the transient traveler hub is a place that let you get a room anywhere between 4 and 24 hours without leaving security. The rooms themselves are spacious and remind me of a roomier version of the L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills.
The Vitality Spa (at The Airport Hotel) offers a great diversity from actual massages to hydrotherapy to squash courts. As a guest of the hotel, you get access to these amenities. The massage requires additional but their experts understand the notion of being on a plane for 14 hours and how to venerate the muscles. There is even a Olympic Swimming Pool that literally hangs over the main thoroughfare within the hotel.
The Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Premium Business Lounge with Hamad International Airport understands its patrons from multiple food elements to simple snacks to business acumen to essential luxury. Mostly virgin drinks are encouraged along with wine which perfectly suits the fare, especially those in A La Carte.
The tangy Palak Paneer encompassing creamy spinach, Indian spices and cottage cheese with fragrant rice gives you a taste of the East that really can't truly be replicated in the West. There is a certain texture that is elusive to us on the other side of the oceans. Another dish is a blend of Arabic Fusion called DaWood Basha mixing Lebanese meatballs with a vibrant tomato base and vermicelli rice. These are great tastes in a setting that keeps you relaxed while also getting your work done if so desired. The business center and loads of espresso, lattes and cappuccinos are close if possible as needed There are even meditation and prayer rooms, separate by sexes of course as is tradition in the region.
Business class accomplishes this on board the aircraft. And, for long haul, it is always worth it as possible.
This brings us to the flights themselves. Each route has its own unique flavor which really tends to give its crew and texture personality.
The first 14 hour route was a direct from Miami that left at 8pm and arrived at 5:30pm the next day Qatar time, 8 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Like many journeys akin to this (which are not many), they usually start off with champagne; in this case, a Tattinger Rose which cleansed the palate and lead the way for further excursions.
A wild mushroom soup initiated the proceedings with a creme fraiche that tantalized without overwhelming while the butternut squash salad was decidedly heavenly with toasted pine nuts, red onions, apple dressing and goat cheese curds. What is very clear compared to other long hauls is a very specific idea of freshness in the ingredients which is undeniable. They also compliment each other so you never feel overfilled.
The main course on the inbound was grilled prawns over linguini in a creme and lemon sauce with Parmesan shavings. It listened to its texture just enough to lull one towards sleep while a lemon tart with the right amount of sugar and a cappuccino lined the night.
The flat down beds of business class allow you to sleep in the way you want to feel whether you fall asleep watching TV or curl next to someone. The windows are all closed so the notion of time seeps away. You can always request some late snack but the balance of the early evening gives way to some coffee or perhaps a cheese plate which gives the right balance.
While breakfast is served, everything is available but there is something about smoked salmon with dill cream cheese and bagel nugget cubes. It is an unusual way to serve this breakfast staple but is utterly welcome and creative simply because it takes a new notion to a form while the turkey sausage and cheddar cheese omelet satisfied the structure of dependency in the best possible way.
Landing and returning to the former country with 7 hours allowed for a fluidity of motion but a different menu of note which definitely appealed to the foodie tendency in seeing how many perceptions could be interrelated while maintaining a sense of continuity.
After a tease of Brut Champagne and a take off over the dark skies of Doha and heading over the desert, the Dream Royale gave a farewell as the after take off cocktail blending Martini Rosso with its torquet mixed with blackcurrant and Belvedere while not overwhelming in its sippy comtrails.
The roasted bell pepper and tomato soup with a mint yogurt gave the right amount of pep while summer green vegetable and mozzarella salad again knew the balance without question; not overwhelming the palate but not depriving it either. It's greenness completely envelops you.
Dinner provided an interesting dichotomy with two roads tempted; one vegetarian…one protein with a distinct balance of taste highlighted by a good selection of wine whose obvious partners were clear. The first was a sesame seed and herb tikkis (think a rice blend) with tadka makhani (which has a slight curry tinge). Again an Indian/Far East Touch (though the business lounge in Doha found that perfect balance). Add a recommended side of Martin Pouret Saveur Bernaise at the suggestion of our attendant which significantly enhanced the meal as well. The inclusion of a white wine in the form of a 2013 Fritz Haag Riesling out of Germany was a welcome selection.
ON the counter front a lamb loin with rosemary jus encrusted with the right amount of hospitality. GOing over was a Polish lady who both was extremely attentive but also wonderfully conversational never hesitating once when I stayed up late to edit because of the wonderful power inclusions on the plane. THe flight to PHill was similar with our possibly Lebanese attendant extremely courteous and extremely knowledgeable. tHe inclusion with the lamb of an AUstrailian Shiraz (Karangilla Road, 2012) gave it the right amount of bite.
After dinner saw a plaisir sucre with its layered chocolaty fervor that was wonderful mingled with 1974 KOpke COhlieta POrt from the Doro VAlley in POrtugal. A simmering cappachino lit the night and the work continued with sleep sometime in the hours ahead.
A mid voyage yearning after a bit of sleep jarred the memory somewhere over the NOrth Atlantic with a frsh texture of asparagus ravioli with a feta cheese briskness that gave way to a peaceful sleep as the tiniest bit of sun crept from the beneath the window.
Within the final hours into Philadelphia, the breakfast structure interweighed with a tonal element befitting of the vibrant Gulf country of Qatar. THe traditional Arabaic breakfast offered a mix of fresh cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, feta cheese and za'atar with a mixture of Arabic breads and olives while a mushroom para that like a crepe filled with morels balanced with an auberginge gut eg with e right amount of spice and an eggs burning which mixed herbs in swirl of yolk and taste.
All angles move together to make a cohesive voyage. All the elements working together we're on display vectoring in a midnight run to DOha. the efficiency of the flight and connections, the relax and ease of the airport hotel, the diversity of the terminal, the unlimited amenities of the Express PRemium BUsiness LOunge and of course the excellent meal service and hospitality in Qatar Airways business class speak to taking a voyage but not letting ethe time rule you..instead treating the voyGe as an adventure and a relaxing journey all in itself.

Halloween magic
In the past, Bud has shared my take-it-or-leave it Halloween attitude. There was not much about the holiday that appealed to him - the costumes, the talking to strangers, the gaggles of masked children making squealing noises. Even the candy was not a draw - for Bud, if it's not M&M's or Twizzlers, he's not particularly interested.
Not so this year.
Bud's excitement didn't really kick in until the weekend, but by Sunday he was ready to don his costume and start trick-or-treating spit-spot. We spent the next two days in a constant state of counting down and reciting each activity that would take place: Bud would bring his magician costume to school in a bag; after snack, he would put on his costume and join the costume parade around the school; then his class would have a Halloween party; after school, Nana would pick him up and take him home; after supper, Mom would come home and he would put his costume back on; then Mom and Dad and Bud would all go trick-or-treating. We also spent a great deal of time breaking down the trick-or-treating experience into its component parts: you ring the doorbell; somebody you don't know opens the door; you say "Trick or Treat"; they hold out candy; you open your bag; they put candy in the bag; you say "thank you"; we go to another house and do the whole thing again.
Of course, for two days as we recited this litany together I had a silent litany of Plans B, C and D running through my head: We would bring Bud's costume to school in a bag, and give him verbal assurance that he did not have to put it on or participate in the parade or go to the party at school; after supper, Bud would decide if trick-or-treating still sounded like a good idea; if it did, Mom and Dad and Bud would drive to a house; Bud would either go to the door or not; if he went to the door, he would either speak to the resident or not; he would either get candy or not; we would either continue to another house or not. If at any point trick-or-treating seemed to Bud to be a bad idea, we would head to Dunkin Donuts and get a treat we didn't have to work quite so hard for.
As it turned out, my silent litany was completely unnecessary. Bud was delighted when the time came to put on his top hat and cape and become The Amazing Bud. He marched in the parade. He attended the party. And he was absolutely giddy by the time I got home to pick him up for trick-or-treating.
Bud, Daddy and I drove to a lovely neighborhood with houses that were fully decorated for the season. Without hesitation, Bud strutted up the long driveway of the first house with his wand held high and he pressed the doorbell with gusto. He smiled as a woman opened the door, and then - out of the blue - a small dog charged around the corner and rushed up behind her at full speed. She jumped, Bud jumped, and I thought "Dunkin Donuts, here we come."
But she held the dog, and Bud held his ground. He collected his candy, thanked her, and walked away, saying "Let's go to another house."
And another house, and another, and another. Ring, stranger, talk, open, thank. Ring, stranger, talk, open, thank. With each new house his confidence grew. We approached houses with cobwebs hanging, houses with spooky music playing, and even a house with a ghost that popped out of a pumpkin. Along the way we encountered pirates and gypsies and assorted other ghouls. And Bud took it all in stride.
As we neared the end of the neighborhood, I realized that I hadn't thought through a Plan B for how we'd bring the evening to a close if things went well. I wondered if we were in store for a tear-filled finale when I told him it was time to go home. But Bud beat me to it, suggesting "Let's go home and have a treat!", and Dad and I agreed that it was a great idea.
I never imagined that a no-big-deal-holiday like Halloween could feel like such a significant milestone for us. It's funny. In the Celtic tradition, Halloween marks the time when we prepare for the dark months to come. I know that the calendar says that winter is approaching, and I know that it means that the days are getting shorter. But this year, for our family, Halloween felt like a step out of the darkness and like a leap into the light.

How wonderful!
I am the queen of contingency planning. And when it comes to something like that, I am happy to have my plans go awry...glad that no Dunkin' donuts were required and treats were eaten instead.

Love it love it love it! Bud is a true magician!!

There must be something in the air, because we had a terrific Halloween too. For one day, I felt like I had two 'typical' kids. It was amazing!

three cheers for the amazing bud! we had a sweet halloween too. isn't it wonderful to see?

It's amazing to me to see Meg's progression through the years-all the way from very reluctant trick or treater, to frightened of any house with decorations that were "scary", to now marching up to ANY door, liking any decorations (except maybe noisy sound effects), boldly saying "trick or treat" and "happy halloween" when leaving. Of course, she has to ask every dog owner their dog's name and what kind of dog it is, which is offputting to some. She loves to look at all the costumes and is torn between going out and staying home just so she can answer the door and hand out candy, commenting on all the costumes.

This is why I adore your blog. Every parent has to deal with kids who don't want to do something the parent thinks is going to be fun for the kid. And most parents don't have contingency plans. Most parents are so attached to the idea of "fun" that we can't let it go, even when it is clear that no one is having any.
Thanks for the reminder of what good parenting is all about. It's clear where some of Bud's magic comes from.

I think there's something about this dressing up and being someone else for the day. My son almost literally turned into Peter Pan. Flying from house to house. We went trick-or-treating with a bunch of the kids who we often get together with. Usually he has trouble "keeping up" with them during playdates. This day, he was even ahead of the kids who were older than him. They were following him for a change.
Guess Halloween really is magical.
- November 02, 2006 11:56 AM
Our son actively enjoyed Halloween for the first time this year (he's almost 4). About half way through I realized how strange it feels when he does stuff normally (he has autism). We expect it out of his sister and normally have to give him special assistance. Not this Halloween. It was very strange just watching him be a kid that blended in perfectly with what was going on. We also didn't have a plan for getting him back home of things went perfectly. Fortunately, he wanted to eat his candy so the night ended very easily.
Glad to hear things went so well for you, too.

I had a leap into the light moment recently when M saw a joke on the television and getting it she looked me straight in the eyes to see if I got it as well. Great feeling.

text: Home Tennis Goals for Serena: Slam record, No. 1 ranking TennisSports newsTennis news Goals for Serena: Slam record, No. 1 ranking 2018-01-10 200 1 Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest WhatsApp Serena Williams may not be where she wants to be right now in terms of competing on the tennis court, but she's quite sure of where she wants to go. Williams, 36, just four months after giving birth to her first child, is driven to win Grand Slam title No. 25 and return to the No. 1 ranking in the world. "To be honest, there's something really attractive about the idea of moving to San Francisco and just being a mom," Williams told Vogue in an interview published Wednesday. "But not yet. Maybe this goes without saying, but it needs to be said in a powerful way: I absolutely want more Grand Slams. I'm well aware of the record books, unfortunately. It's not a secret that I have my sights on 25." Editor's Picks Serena's absence from the Australian Open not all bad news No doubt Serena Williams will be missed Down Under, but her withdrawal opens the door for a lot of other top players. How the Aussie Open lifted legendary status of Federer, Serena Once an afterthought for the top players, the Australian Open has become paramount in setting the tone for the rest of the season. 1 Related Williams decided this past Thursday not to defend her Australian Open title, having played only an exhibition match to Jelena Ostapenko after overcoming medical issues that cropped up after the birth of her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. "I don't want to just compete, I want to do far better than that and to do so, I will need a little more time," Williams said in the statement. She needs only one more major title to equal the record held by Margaret Court, who won 13 of her 24 Grand Slam titles before the Open era began in 1968. "I remember how stressed I was about getting to Grand Slam number 18, tying Chrissie [Evert] and Martina [Navratilova]," Williams said. "I had lost every Grand Slam that year. I was in the US Open, and Patrick [Mouratoglou], my coach, said, 'Serena, this doesn't make sense. You're so stressed about 18. Why not 30? Why not 40?' For me, that clicked. I won 18, 19 and 20 right after that. "Why would I want to stand side by side when I can stand out on my own? I think sometimes women limit themselves. I'm not sure why we think that way, but I know that we're sometimes taught to not dream as big as men, not to believe we can be a president or a CEO, when in the same household, a male child is told he can be anything he wants. I'm so glad I had a daughter. I want to teach her that there are no limits." Williams revealed in the interview that she had an emergency C-section after the baby's heart rate dropped. Williams then had a number of post-childbirth procedures after discovering several small blood clots had settled in her lungs. It is not the first time that blood clots have caused complications for Williams. After she badly cut her foot in July 2010, a blood clot reached her lung in March 2011. The injuries kept her from competing for a year. Williams told Vogue that her C-section incision reopened due to intense coughing spells, and that she had a filter inserted into a major vein to prevent blood clots from reaching her lungs. "I was happy to change diapers," her husband, Alexis Ohanian, told Vogue, "but on top of everything she was going through, the feeling of not being able to help made it even harder. Consider for a moment that your body is one of the greatest things on this planet, and you're trapped in it." Williams told Vogue that motherhood has changed her, and it might help her on the court. "Now that I'm 36 and I look at my baby, I remember that this was also one of my goals when I was little, before tennis took over, when I was still kind of a normal girl who played with dolls," Williams said. "And actually, I think having a baby might help. When I'm too anxious I lose matches, and I feel like a lot of that anxiety disappeared when Olympia was born. Knowing I've got this beautiful baby to go home to makes me feel like I don't have to play another match. I don't need the money or the titles or the prestige. I want them, but I don't need them. That's a different feeling for me." Williams remains driven, however, to return to the top spot in the world rankings, which is currently occupied by Simona Halep by a slim margin over Caroline Wozniacki and Garbine Muguruza. "It's interesting," Williams told Vogue. "There hasn't been a clear No. 1 since I was there. It will be cool to see if I get there again, to what I call my spot — where I feel I belong. I don't play to be the second best or the third best. If there's no clear No. 1, it's like, yeah, I can get my spot back. But if there is a clear No. 1, that's cool, too, because it's like, yeah, I'm gonna come for you." Williams said she knows she is on the back side of her career, but warns opponents that that will not be an advantage for them. "… I've been playing tennis since before my memories started," Williams told Vogue. "At my age, I see the finish line. And when you see the finish line, you don't slow down. You speed up."

So, I was just editing a post. Made my changes and I scrolled down and without thinking I accidentally clicked the "Post Your Answer" button. Immediately after clicking it, I was like "crap, wrong button" and it took me to the human verification screen because the post was empty (I hadn't typed anything into that box). I don't understand why that button was even enabled because all I even did was edit the post, I never even clicked in the answer textarea. But for some reason, the button was enabled.
Luckily, I was able to just click the back button and my browser remember the edits I had made so far, and I just clicked Save Edit.
Imitating This Behavior:
Also, this button being enabled appears to prevent the expected behavior of "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" when I'm in the edit screen, because I'm submitting a form, albeit empty.
My suggestion: Disable this button when a user loads the edit screen for a post, or maybe an alert to make the user confirm they really wanted to click this button if the edit screen is also open.

I regard Andi's comments as being compatible with my own submitted three weeks ago. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2007AprJun/0143.html I note with some chagrin that only my *minor* editorial comments have been incorporated. I do not recall my other suggestions even being brought up in survey. Since a couple of those were just filling in blanks, similar to what Andi does below, the oversight strikes me as unnecessarily prejudicial. -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Andi Snow-Weaver Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 7:04 AM To: WCAG Subject: Comments on Alternate Versions Notes Here are my comments on the Alternate Versions Conformance Requirement: http://tinyurl.com/3yj2n2: Under Option 1: - Advantages: I think the advantage to the author with this approach is that where possible, it is easy to do. - Disadvantages: To the user, it could be difficult to find the link to the conforming version Under Option 3:: - User Advantages: For the user, it is easy to find the alternate version when navigating the website because links to both versions are in the same location. Also, this is an improvement over the current situation where authors can provide the links to accessible versions in some obscure page on the website that users will not be able to find even when navigating the website and encountering the non-conforming version. - Author Advantages: I think the current wording of the author advantage is biased against this technique ("provides the author with the most freedom"). Replace the text with something more objective like "Easy for authors to implement." There may also be an advantage in maintaining the site. With this technique, it is more obvious to the person maintaining the site that there are multiple versions of content. This may make it easier for them to realize that all versions need to be kept in sync. I can see things falling through the cracks with some of the other techniques where there may be an alternate version in the directory but it's not obvious to the webmaster that if they get an update to one version, they also need to request an update to the other version(s).

Weekend Rerun
Cole had a 3-run lead on Friday night and wound up losing (shockingly his 11th), Pap blew a save on Saturday afternoon (third of the week) but Fransden hit his first walk-off homer (against a pitcher he faced as long ago as high school) to salvage a win and Sunday, Wright/Harvey combined to send the Phillies to another weekend rerun.
On May 17-18-19, the Phillies took two of three from Cincinnati in a weekend series Since they have lost five straight weekend series, 1-2, 1-2, 0-3, 1-2 and 1-2. That's consistent but not the consistency the club is looking for. Last win by a Phillies starter on a weekend game, May 11, Cliff.
After Sunday's shutout, the Phillies boarded a Delta charter flight to the other end of the country. A 10-game, 3-city trip begins tonight in San Diego.
Good news: Phillies are 246-199 overall against SD and 24-6 at Petco Park.
Bad news: Padres are 24-15 at home, 23-8 in their last 31 games and 9-4 against the East, including a three-game sweep of Atlanta at home June 10-12.
The Mets' Harvey is 7-1, 3-0 against the Phillies . . . Wright's Sunday homer was his 17th at Citizens Bank Park, most among the enemy . . . Cliff goes for his eighth straight win tonight . . . Utley and Rollins, providing they start tonight, will play in the 1,000th game as the Phillies double play combination. Only the Yankees' Jeter/Cano combo has more games, 1,036 . . . Stutes went on the DL Sunday, marking the second straight day a reliever was DLd . . . Aumont is back, giving the Phillies five relievers who have pitched in AAA this year. Pap and Antonio are the only ones in the pen that haven't.

Jimmie Johnson will have more on his mind in September than the start of the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Johnson announced this week that he and wife, Chandra, are expecting their second child in September.
"Our doctor has told me that a father has never missed a birth," Johnson said Friday. "That gives me a lot of confidence that I will be able to do my weekend job and then be around during the week to meet number two."
Johnson was prepared to miss a race three years ago if his wife went into labor, but their daughter was born on a Wednesday in July 2010. At that time, Johnson had Aric Almirola on standby if he needed to leave a race.
Johnson has already won twice this year, winning at Martinsville last week and taking over the points lead. There is no backup driver in place yet for September, but the five-time Cup champion said he will be prepared again for the birth of his second child.
"We still have some time. We are not sure who will be available come that time," Johnson said. "I was joking with Aric Almirola last weekend that if he wanted to be my back-up driver again, he clearly has a full-time gig and can't do it. We will just have to see, but we will definitely have a plan like always. We will be buttoned up. "

Patient care in Scottish Hospital dramatically improved
Monday, March 24th, 2014
on behalf of Healthcare Improvement Scotland
A small group of dedicated nursing staff have seen their pioneering work result in some of the best improvements in patient care to be seen in Scotland.
The team of Critical Care Outreach nurse specialists at Borders General Hospital are being credited with helping the hospital to achieve one of the lowest mortality rates in critical care while also helping to deliver a remarkable reduction in cardiac arrest calls.
The success is another ringing endorsement of the work of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP), a ground-breaking initiative lead by Healthcare Improvement Scotland to ensure that every patient in NHSScotland receives the best possible care.
Specialist nurse Ronnie Dornan, who set up the Melrose-based hospital's Critical Care Outreach Service, is a Fellow of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme. The Fellowship Programme looks to encourage Fellows to strengthen clinical leadership within quality and safety improvements projects in their health boards.
The Critical Care Outreach Team was set up to address the importance of early recognition management techniques when treating patients at risk of deterioration.
Analysis of the results has seen Borders General Hospital Intensive Care Unit record some of the lowest patient figures for out-of-hours admissions, length of stay, need for ventilation and need for renal replacement therapy in the country.
On top of this the number of cardiac arrest calls at the hospital saw a remarkable reduction from 465 in 2000 to 48 in 2013.
Ronnie said: "The Critical Care Outreach Service provides a team of dedicated specialist nurses who focus on the close monitoring of the medical conditions of both ward patients and patients recently discharged from intensive care.
"We believe that visibility and accessibility to a specialised team is of the utmost importance.
"Our motto is simple: 'early recognition and intervention improves outcome'. To identify the signs of deterioration we use an early warning chart to closely monitor blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate and blood results that highlight the early signs of deterioration
"This way we can act upon any decline in the patients' condition at an early stage providing us with the optimal chance to prevent further deterioration and expedite treatment.
"This method of managing deterioration in patients has proven to be extremely successful as we now have one of the lowest mortality rates in Scotland."
The work of the Critical Care Outreach Service has been closely followed by two other Scottish hospitals who have now implemented similar models with the hope of recording similar benefits.
The Critical Care Outreach Team have enjoyed international recognition in America and Denmark. The team recently featured on Denmark's equivalent of BBC Six O'Clock News after a Danish consultant was inspired by the model while working with Ronnie on the SPSP Fellowship.
Dr Stubager, a Consultant at Kolding Hospital in Denmark and one of many leading international medics who are signing up to the SPSP, said: "My study visit to Borders General Hospital has been truly inspirational.
"The methods of dealing with the deterioration of patients that Ronnie and his team have developed are quite ground-breaking and evidently provide outstanding results.
"Since appearing on our national news, the methodology has created huge debate around the whole country and politicians are now looking to take patient safety more seriously.
"We would like to thank the staff at Borders General Hospital for giving us an insight into their work which has now enabled us to begin the process of implementing similar models throughout hospitals in Denmark."
The Scottish Patient Safety Programme has been running in Scotland's acute hospitals for more than five years, delivering a range of interventions that have helped to systematically improve the safety and reliability of hospital care. While the starting point has been acute care, there has always been a commitment to extending this approach to other areas. The Scottish Patient Safety Programme, which is part of Healthcare Improvement Scotland, now supports the implementation of safety programmes in Acute Adult, Mental Health, Maternity, Neonatal, Paediatric and Primary Care.

Theresa sent us this picture from her trip to Dublin, Ireland. She told us the following about her trip and her Paperblanks Oscar Wilde journal:
I took this picture in Merrion Square when I visited Dublin in March this year. I bought my Oscar Wilde notebook just a couple of months ago and always bring it with me for all my journeys. When I came across Oscar's statue in Merrion Square I could not resist taking a picture of it with my notebook, it's such a perfect match.
I really like the complacent expression on his face, he almost looks alive.
Thanks, Theresa!

It's a view unlike any other. A non-traditional scene. But quite the scene nonetheless. A special place not just for the body, but one for the mind and soul. Others escape to the sounds of the ocean or to the soft touch of the sand on their toes. Many find comfort with the silence atop a mountainside. Not to be missed is the beauty found when faced with a twinkling universe.
All worthy, all equally magnificent.
My eyes are set on a place that encapsulates all this and much more. I would be doing it a dishonor if I didn't start from its simplistic details. For all the parts of it is what makes it whole. My furthest memory takes me to my childhood at a time when I couldn't quite appreciate the beauty of it. It surrounded me, all of its parts only contributed to a sensation of vertigo. I couldn't focus on any one detail of its panorama. It felt burdensome, obligated, more like a foe. Oh, what a stupid kid I was. My eyes so blurred to all the colors and opportunities. Missed adventures. All I needed to do was open my mind and walk through. I needed to extend my arm, reach out and relinquish my time to it.
Fast forward…you may deem me insane or even worse, mundane. I'll accept either gladly just for a visit there. The planning and anticipation of going makes me giddy like a young couple on their first date. I must be certifiably insane. But once I step through those doors, I'm transported. It's a reprieve from the scorching heat outside or a destination of brightness when it's dark. So it doesn't matter what time my story is set at.
I scan from left to right and back again. I smile. I go to the left. I always start at the left. Here i am not rushed, the city sounds disappear, only my thoughts accompany me to the left. The soft carpet beneath my feet. There's an irrefutable smell in the air. Go ahead, commit me, but I promise you there's a smell. My eyes land briefly on to each cluster that carry similar traits. Planted and displayed for contemplation. I take my time to study each specimen, to learn either intensely or briefly. Some for educating the mind and others for mere entertainment. I spend time in this wide open expanse but feel the rest of the room tugging at me. I can't limit myself.
There are rows and rows of towering oak-like walls housing these beauties. I allow my fingers to flirtatiously skim them all as I weave out of one aisle and in to another. Each aisle providing me with the chance to visit the Great Wall of China. Or stand with a soldier on the battlefield during WWII. I hear the sweet but strong voice of a young girl through her diary as she hides out with her family. I cry with all the twins that experienced atrocities at the hands of an enemy doctor. This place allows me to step through a wardrobe door and into a secret place frozen in eternal winter needing a warrior to help break it free. And then whisks me away to the middle of the ocean for 227 days on a lifeboat with a tiger as my companion. Where else can I have a grand tour of Mars, and at the same time listen to a well renowned scientist take us through the cosmic journey of life itself. I cheer on the God of Thunder as he protects all of humanity as I also live vicariously through teenage love doomed to fail.
I live with Hobbits and Princesses, dance with Geishas and fly with fairies and dragons. Here I see skyscrapers, baron deserts and the deep dark abyss.
I escape to this room not only because it is a beautiful view itself, but because this bookstore and all its adventures and insight just opened my view to the world and everything beyond it. Now THAT'S magnificent.

|Chinua Achebe, 1930-2013
It's going to take me a while to have anything coherent to say about Chinua Achebe now that he has died. Not just because he was a great writer — and he was a great writer, as Aaron Bady says, "full stop". But because, right now at least, I can't think of a more deeply influential writer in our era. Not just for Things Fall Apart, though that book certainly did a lot. But for so much else — his work as an editor for the African Writers Series, his essays on Conrad, his championing of Amos Tutuola after Tutuola's work had gone out of fashion, etc. etc. (If you ever needed evidence of the irrelevance of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the fact that Achebe never won it is Exhibit A.)
The best writing I've seen so far on Achebe in the wake of his death comes from Keguro Macharia. You should read the whole, beautiful essay, but here is a taste:
His departure now – euphemism must be used, if only once – feels much like an encounter with his work: it was unexpected because it had been possible to believe that he was beyond mortality. Achebe simply was. He existed in the world and the world existed because he did. I could afford to take his existence for granted, could afford not to teach or discuss or write about his work, because he simply was. His being in the world made certain things unnecessary. Because he was. Certain figures inspire a kind of faith that they have transcended death, and their deaths hit all the harder – most recently for me, Adrienne Rich who, like Achebe, simply was. When they die – euphemisms can no longer work – we continue to call their names, hoping that they will return to us, that their ghosts will continue to energize the labor they started and sustained and that we now feel unable to continue. So it is that we continue to call for Audre Lorde. Believing, as we must, that she can still provide the right words, the necessary words, the transforming words.
Simon Gikandi has written that Chinua Achebe "invented" African literature. This is not a claim about who wrote first – other Africans wrote before Achebe. Nor is it a claim about the volume of his work – others have written more. It is a claim, I think, about Achebe as an institution builder, as one who made possible a certain kind of imagination and, in his role as editor with the African Writers Series, made possible many other imaginations for African literature. Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be given to a writer is this: that a particular book has been written. A particular imagination explored. A room populated. And multiple other rooms made possible.
Few contemporary Africans, if any, feel the need to write another Things Fall Apart. Indeed, by the mid-1960s, Things Fall Apart could not be written again. Achebe's work had given African writers the permission to pursue their geo-histories, to take multiple paths, to pursue the mystical and the routine, the profane urban and the perverse rural, the unending past and the foreclosed future. Things Fall Apart had been written, and African writing pursued its multiple afters, with Achebe as inspiration, as guide, and as champion.

Vastavam web: The US and China's top economic officials agreed by phone today to "continue to communicate" on trade issues, Chinese state media said, as President Donald Trump pledged his escalating trade showdown would get results despite pushback from Europe and Beijing.In his latest jolt to the prevailing global order, Trump on Thursday authorised tariffs on as much as USD 60 billion of Chinese imports, targeting sectors in which Washington says China has stolen American technology.
He also accused a US probe into Chinese intellectual property practices of violating international trade rules.China had warned the United States yesterday that it was "not afraid of a trade war" as it threatened tariffs on USD 3 billion worth of US goods in retaliation. And French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe would respond "without weakness" to Washington's threats of tariffs on steel and aluminium.Global stocks have plummeted as fears rise that the confrontation could provoke a damaging trade war. Meanwhile, World Trade Organization Director-General Roberto Azevedo called for cooler heads to prevail, saying in a statement that new trade barriers would "jeopardise the global economy".
But speaking to reporters yesterday as he signed new budget legislation, Trump said his efforts were beginning to bear fruit.European and US trade officials said this week they were beginning talks to reach a compromise."Many other countries are now negotiating fair trade deals with us," Trump said Friday."Part of the reason, frankly, that we're able to do that is the fact that we have the tariffs on steel and the tariffs on aluminium." China's commerce ministry warned that a 15 per cent tariff on 120 goods worth almost USD 1 billion — including fresh fruit, nuts and wine — would be imposed if the US fails to reach a "trade compensation agreement" within an unspecified time frame.
In a second step, a 25 percent tariff would be imposed on eight goods totalling nearly USD 2 billion, including pork and aluminium scrap, after "further evaluating the impact of the US measures on China," the statement said."China does not want to fight a trade war, but it is absolutely not afraid of a trade war," the commerce ministry said.Betty Wang, an economist at ANZ bank, said China's reaction was "relatively mild."
"From China's perspective, it absolutely does not want to see a trade war. Coming back to the negotiation table is a relatively good result," Wang said.The United States had a record USD 375.2 billion goods trade deficit with China last year.US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer indicated the industries could include aerospace, maritime and rail transport equipment, and new energy vehicles.

"How much do our kids know about sex?" is a question parents often ponder. But how many ask, "What do our children know about food?" A study conducted by the British Heart Foundation shows it's appallingly little. And the Foundation is using a shocking approach to change this situation.
The Heart Foundation Study revealed that 40% of 8-to-14-year-olds did not know that French fries were made from potatoes! One in 10 believed they were made from oil, eggs, flour or apples. And 33% were unaware that cheese was made from milk.
To correct these misconceptions, The Heart Foundation is challenging children with a Food 4 Thought Campaign. The major thrust is their website Bhf.org.uk/food. I suggest you take a look.
The site shows "censored" stickers covering pictures of a hot dog, hamburger and chicken nuggets. Click on this and you're asked if you want to see the uncensored picture. Another click and there it is, a not very appetizing sight. Rather, it looks like something the cat or dog threw up. And it makes one wonder, do I ever want to eat any of these fast foods again?
The website has some positives to offer, such as educational hints on how children can stay healthy, how they should become involved by sending e-mails to politicians, demanding more school activities and healthy school lunches. And to generate teenage interest, the site offers electronic prizes for the best essays on this subject and 5,000 pound prizes to purchase activity equipment for their school.
Like Canada and the U.S., the U.K. is awash in obese children. The prediction is it will get worse with another 440,000 added in the U.K. in the next two years. This increase in obesity among children has set the stage for the perfect epidemic of diabetes and heart disease. I predicted 25 years ago that this would happen.
The implications for our own healthcare system of these two diseases along with an aging population are financially mind boggling.
Penny Ballem, British Columbia's deputy health minister, recently reported on this gloomy financial picture. Today B.C.'s health-care system consumes 41% of the budget. If health care continues to rise 8% each year, it, along with education costs, will consume the entire budget by 2117. This is a doomsday scenario.
A slow painful lesson will have to be learned by politicians and the rest of society -- people cannot live for healthcare alone. And it will need draconian methods to get this idea across.
The British Food 4 Thought campaign is a practical start. At the same time we must get rid of other misconceptions.
In April of 2005, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a bombshell report. A study from the Centers For Disease Control concluded that being a little overweight resulted in a lower death rate. In effect, it was okat to be a little bit fat.
This is what every pudgy person wanted to hear. It was also news that food advocacy groups in Washington, supported by the food industry and restaurants, were waiting for. They insisted that "food police" must stop worrying the public about an obesity epidemic. But common sense suggests this study isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Now a report from Northwestern University in Chicago should bring everyone back to reality. Dr. Lijing and his colleagues followed the health of 17,000 men and women for 30 years. They discovered that those who were overweight in middle age and without any other health problems, had an increased risk of dying from diabetes and heart disease after age 65 over those who were normal weight in middle age.
I admit I occasionally enjoy fast foods and now wish I hadn't seen the uncensored picture. But for the sake of our children and health-care system, I hope someone brings the British Food 4 Thought campaign to this country.
