Being pregnant shouldn't keep one from being fashionable and although I have a much larger belly this time around, I tried to be less frumpy. Belly Dance Maternity sent me the Nom Aurora Maxi Dress and not only is it comfortable, it makes me feel stylish.
The simple tube dress design is easy to wear with my huge bump yet doesn't make me look like a whale. There was no tugging up of the top because it stay put! The cascading navy tie dye print accents one's body in a flattering way. The material (92% rayon, 8% spandex) kept me cool even during a sweltering birthday party at the park. The dress can be thrown into the machine for washing and drying (although they recommend dry flat). I love the maxi length and at 5'6" it fell perfectly to my toes. I think it will look good even after giving birth with some wedges.
Belly Dance Maternity carries so many awesome designer brands catering to the growing belly in a fashion forward manner. They have classic designs that one would want to even wear sans belly. Belly Dance Maternity offers selections ranging from the basics to to party dresses!
Buy It: You can purchase the Nom Aurora Maxi Dress for $79 (sale).
I love it! That looks so cute on you!
Wow, their clothes are expensive, but how cute! The dress looks great on you.

[...] Those studying the accident warn, however, that the early, reassuring conclusions may understate the extent of exposure for certain people. They add that scientists still know very little about the effect on the human body of extended exposure to low-level radiation. There also have been some disturbing developments—a reduction in the bird population near the plant, high levels of radiation in local fish—that biologists say they will continue to watch.

It is located at a strategic geopolitical point within the Central Bioceanic Corridor. Steady growth during recent years and the diversification of productive activities has made Mendoza one of the most developed provinces in the country and the main industrial hub of western Argentina. The province stands out for its human capital, infrastructure, natural resources and its commitment to sustainable economic development.
Mendoza is known for its agricultural production and industrialization of raw materials such as grapes, fruits and vegetables. The high quality of its vineyards paired with the introduction of the latest wine-making technology has made Mendoza one of the world's leading wine-producing regions.
Moreover, there are other important productive sectors, including metal mechanic industry, construction, trade, services, information and communications technology (ICT) and tourism. Mendoza has become a great travel destination thanks to the natural beauty of the area and the high quality services and infrastructure available for tourists. Oil, gas and energy are also key sectors for the local economy.


Three years ago, a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated the nation of Japan.
Even worse, the natural disaster sparked the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, which involved a major meltdown at a nuclear power plant. The tsunami carried radioactive water from the plant into the Pacific Ocean.
If that weren't enough, last year Tokyo Electric Power Company admitted that the leak didn't end with the tsunami; radioactive water had been pouring into the ocean for some time after the geological event.
There was widespread panic and outrage over TEPCO and the Japanese government's secretive and dishonest treatment of the catastrophe.
At the same time, there is a growing debate over just how bad the the situation really is in Fukushima and beyond.
One writer and scientist claims that some news stemming from the disaster is in fact "fear mongering".
James Concha wrote in Forbes that irresponsible writers lacking scientific credentials and a will to do thorough research were scaring people unnecessarily about the fatal nature of the nuclear disaster.
He claims that bad science and irresponsible reporting are creating a panic over issues where it's still too soon to see the full effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Moreover, there may have been an overestimation in how far spread the radiation levels are following the disaster.
Initially there were fears that wind and water would carry high levels of radiation to America and we would be subjected to a series of health problems.
Now one conservation group testing the waters of Oregon said it would be surprised if radiation levels were anything other than normal.
Needless to say, certain anti-nuclear activists are not happy with the idea that concerns over the effects of Fukushima are being dismissed. They claim that the Japanese government and TEPCO are hiding the truth about the disaster from the Japanese people and the world.
It means, frustratingly, that it's still far too soon to know the full truth of the matter. It may still be a few years before any noticeable health problems are demonstrated in the Japanese population as a result of the Fukushima disaster.
The back and forth debate among nuclear activists and pro-nuclear organizations means that persons will often have their own motives for skewing studies and research. Either we'll be expected to dismiss the radiation leak or expect that the worst is still to come.
The best thing anyone genuinely concerned about this situation can do is their own research.
Read peer-reviewed scientific studies from experts in the fields of radiation and its effects on populations.
Otherwise, you may be vulnerable to misinformation.

A relationship grows and would sustain harmony when there must be a shared effort between two individuals who are seeking equal exchange of love, affection, and intimacy.
This two-way street work smoothly when both-people must be actively participating in sustaining a strong, harmonious, and healthy relationship.
When the coordination from any side is left unchecked then the need to spot imbalances becomes must to keep an eye out for one-sided love.
A relationship would lose its strength when there are too many imbalances in the way things are being conducted. Partners must always ensure that they are willing to bear the weight of the entire relationship together.
An imbalance from one side would eventually lead to a destructive end and no one would ever want that for their relationship.
Imbalances that are spotted early and steps that are taken to counter problems for improvement can help to salvage a relationship from destructive end.
You can improve the state of things for yourself if you realize early on the problems and issues that can become potential points for an imbalance relationship. The following points will help you to ensure that you are in a one-sided love or not.
1. They don't love you as much as you do because of disinterest in your personal life.
Sense of indifference and disinterest in your personal life can tell easily if the person you love is obsessed with learning about your life or not.
2. They make you feel a left out when discussing future.
You are not included when they make plans about future.
3. They don't initiate, you have to get the action rolling.
You have to initiate everything, whether is it a conversation topic, text, or asking your partner out on a date.
4. They don't give value to your thoughts or opinions on things.
Your thoughts or opinions are little significant to your partner.
5. They have all the time for their friends but you.
You believe in living your own individual life in a relationship and you give as much space to your partner as possible but they should also be carving valuable time out for you.
6. They don't reciprocate the same kind of affection.
All the romantic gestures or words of affection are your attempts to improve things in your relationship. Your partner doesn't think to reciprocate the same kind of treatment.
7. They never made you feel secure in your relationship.
You have to second-guess your worth and place in your partner's life. You can't say it sure that you have a secure place in your relationship.
8. They have no concern with your goals and plans because it is one-side love.
When you love someone deeply then you make sure that you are invested in your partner's future and care about their personal goals and plans. If you think your partner shows no concern with your goals and dreams then they might not see the future with you.
9. They don't do efforts to make you happy as much as you do.
As much as you make effort to generate the happiness in the relationship you feel that you're the one who is becoming unhappy and sad. You don't feel contented in this relationship rather you are the only one bearing the pressure of it.

Be careful and be sure to specify the information on the section Therapeutic indications in the instructions to the drug Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.
Cardiac failure
Digoxin is indicated in the management of chronic cardiac failure where the dominant problem is systolic dysfunction. Its therapeutic benefit is greatest in those patients with ventricular dilatation.
Digoxin is specifically indicated where cardiac failure is accompanied by atrial fibrillation.
Supraventricular arrhythmias
Digoxin is indicated in the management of certain supraventricular arrhythmias, particularly chronic atrial flutter and fibrillation.
The information provided in Dosage (Posology) and method of administration of Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) is based on data of another medicine with exactly the same composition as the Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral). . Be careful and be sure to specify the information on the section Dosage (Posology) and method of administration in the instructions to the drug Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.
Posology:
The dose of digoxin for each patient has to be tailored individually according to age, lean body weight and renal function.
Suggested doses are intended only as an initial guide.
In cases where cardiac glycosides have been taken in the preceding two weeks the recommendations for initial dosing of a patient should be reconsidered and a reduced dose is advised.
The difference in bioavailability between injectable digoxin and oral formulations must be considered when changing from one dosage form to another. For example if patients are switched from oral to the I.V. formulation the dosage should be reduced by approximately 33%.
Adults and paediatric populations over 10 years
Rapid oral loading:
If medically appropriate, rapid digitalisation may be achieved in a number of ways, such as 750 to 1500 micrograms (0.75 to 1.5 mg) as a single dose.
Where there is less urgency, or greater risk of toxicity e.g. in the elderly, the oral loading dose should be given in divided doses six hours apart, with approximately half the total dose given as the first dose. Clinical response should be assessed before giving each additional dose.
Slow oral loading:
In some patients, example those with mild heart failure, digitalisation may be achieved more slowly with doses of 250 to 750 micrograms (0.25 to 0.75 mg) daily for one week followed by an appropriate maintenance dose. A clinical response should be seen within one week.
Maintenance dose:
The maintenance dosage should be based upon the percentage of the peak body stores lost each day through elimination. The choice between slow and rapid oral loading depends on the clinical state of the patient and the urgency of the condition.
The following formula has had wide clinical use:
Ccr is creatinine clearance corrected to 70 kg bodyweight or 1.73 m2 body surface area. If only serum creatinine (Scr) concentrations are available, a Ccr (corrected to 70 kg bodyweight) may be estimated in men as
NOTE: Where serum creatinine values are obtained in micromol/l, these may be converted to mg/100 ml (mg %) as follows:
Where 113.12 is the molecular weight of creatinine.
For women, this result should be multiplied by 0.85.
N.B. These formulae cannot be used for creatinine clearance in children.
In practice, this will mean that most patients with heart failure will be maintained on 125 to 250 micrograms (0.125 to 0.25 mg) digoxin daily; however in those who show increased sensitivity to the adverse effects of digoxin, a dose of 62.5 micrograms (0.0625 mg) daily or less may suffice.
Conversely, some patients may require a higher dose.
Neonates, infants and paediatric populations up to 10 years of age
If cardiac glycosides have been given in the two weeks preceding commencement of digoxin therapy, it should be anticipated that optimum loading doses of digoxin will be less than those recommended below.
In the newborn, particularly in the premature infant, renal clearance of digoxin is diminished and suitable dose reductions must be observed, over and above general dosage instructions.
Beyond the immediate newborn period, children generally require proportionally larger doses than adults on the basis of body weight or body surface area, as indicated in the schedule below. Children over ten years of age require adult dosages in proportion to their body weight.
Oral loading dose:
This should be administered in accordance with the following schedule:
Preterm neonates less than 1.5 kg
25 micrograms/kg per 24 h.
Preterm neonates 1.5 kg to 2.5 kg
Term neonates to 2 years
The loading dose should be administered in divided doses with approximately half the total dose given as the first dose and further fractions of the total dose given at intervals of 4 to 8 h, assessing clinical response before giving each additional dose.
The maintenance dose should be administered in accordance with the following schedule:
Preterm neonates:
daily dose = 20 % of 24 h loading dose.
Term neonates and children up to 10 years:
These dosage schedules are meant as guidelines and careful clinical observation and monitoring of serum digoxin levels should be used as a basis for adjustment of dosage in these paediatric patient groups.
The possibility of reduced renal function and lower lean body mass should be taken into account when dealing with elderly patients. If necessary, the dosage should be reduced and adjusted to the changed pharmacokinetics to prevent elevated serum dioxin levels and the risk of toxicity. The serum dioxin levels should be checked regularly and hypokalaemia should be avoided.
The dosing recommendations should be reconsidered if patients are elderly or there are other reasons for the renal clearance of digoxin being reduced. A reduction in both initial and maintenance doses should be considered.
Method of administration:
For oral use only.
The information provided in Contraindications of Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) is based on data of another medicine with exactly the same composition as the Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral). . Be careful and be sure to specify the information on the section Contraindications in the instructions to the drug Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.
Digoxin is contraindicated in:
- intermittent complete heart block or second degree atrioventricular block, especially if there is a history of Stokes-Adams attacks.
- arrhythmias caused by cardiac glycoside intoxication.
- supraventricular arrhythmias associated with an accessory atrioventricular pathway, as in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, unless the electrophysiological characteristics of the accessory pathway and any possible deleterious effect of digoxin on these characteristics have been evaluated. If an accessory pathway is known or suspected to be present and there is no history of previous supraventricular arrhythmias, digoxin is similarly contraindicated.
- ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
- hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, unless there is concomitant atrial fibrillation and heart failure but even then caution should be exercised if digoxin is to be used.
The information provided in Special warnings and precautions for use of Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) is based on data of another medicine with exactly the same composition as the Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral). . Be careful and be sure to specify the information on the section Special warnings and precautions for use in the instructions to the drug Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.
Patients receiving digoxin should have their serum electrolytes and renal function (serum creatinine concentration) assessed periodically; the frequency of assessments will depend on the clinical setting.
Serum concentrations of digoxin may be expressed in Conventional Units of nanograms/ml or SI Units of nanomol/l. To convert nanograms/ml to nanomol/l, multiply nanograms/ml by 1.28.
The serum concentration of digoxin can be determined by radioimmunoassay.
Blood should be taken six hours or more after the last dose of digoxin.
There are no rigid guidelines as to the range of serum concentrations that are most efficacious. Post hoc analyses of heart failure patients in the Digitalis Investigation Group trial suggest that the optimal trough digoxin serum level may be 0.5 nanogram/ml (0.64 nanomol/l) to 1.0 nanogram/ml (1.28 nanomol/l).
Digoxin toxicity is more commonly associated with serum digoxin concentrations greater than 2 nanogram/ml. However, serum digoxin concentration should be interpreted in the clinical context. Toxicity may occur with lower digoxin serum concentrations. In deciding whether a patient's symptoms are due to digoxin, the clinical state together with the serum potassium level and thyroid function are important factors.
Determination of the serum digoxin concentration may be very helpful in making a decision to treat with further digoxin, but other glycosides and endogenous digoxin-like substances, including metabolites of digoxin, can interfere with the assays that are available and one should always be wary of values which do not seem commensurate with the clinical state of the patient. Observations while temporary withholding digoxin might be more appropriate.
Arrhythmias may be precipitated by digoxin toxicity, some of which can resemble arrhythmias for which the drug could be advised. For example, atrial tachycardia with varying atrioventricular block requires particular care as clinically the rhythm resembles atrial fibrillation.
Many beneficial effects of digoxin on arrhythmias result from a degree of atrioventricular conduction blockade. However, when incomplete atrioventricular block already exists the effects of a rapid progression in the block should be anticipated. In complete heart block the idioventricular escape rhythm may be suppressed.
Sinoatrial disorder
In some cases of sinoatrial disorder (i.e. Sick Sinus Syndrome) digoxin may cause or exacerbate sinus bradycardia or cause sinoatrial block.
The administration of digoxin in the period immediately following myocardial infarction is not contraindicated. However, the use of inotropic drugs in some patients in this setting may result in undesirable increases in myocardial oxygen demand and ischaemia, and some retrospective follow-up studies have suggested digoxin to be associated with an increased risk of death. The possibility of arrhythmias arising in patients who may be hypokalaemic after myocardial infarction and are likely to be haemodynamically unstable must be borne in mind. The limitations imposed thereafter on direct current cardioversion must also be remembered.
Treatment with digoxin should generally be avoided in patients with heart failure associated with cardiac amyloidosis. However, if alternative treatments are not appropriate, digoxin can be used to control the ventricular rate in patients with cardiac amyloidosis and atrial fibrillation.
Digoxin can rarely precipitate vasoconstriction and therefore should be avoided in patients with myocarditis.
Beri-beri heart disease
Patients with beri-beri heart disease may fail to respond adequately to digoxin if the underlying thiamine deficiency is not treated concomitantly.
Constrictive pericarditis
Digoxin should not be used in constrictive pericarditis unless it is used to control the ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation or to improve systolic dysfunction.
Exercise tolerance
Digoxin improves exercise tolerance in patients with impaired left ventricular systolic dysfunction and normal sinus rhythm. This may or may not be associated with an improved haemodynamic profile. However, the benefit of digoxin in patients with supraventricular arrhythmias is most evident at rest, less evident with exercise.
In patients receiving diuretics and an ACE inhibitor, or diuretics alone, the withdrawal of digoxin has been shown to result in clinical deterioration.
Electrocardiograhy
The use of therapeutic doses of digoxin may cause prolongation of the PR interval and depression of the ST segment on the electrocardiogram.
Digoxin may produce false positive ST-T changes on the electrocardiogram during exercise testing. These electrophysiologic effects reflect an expected effect of the drug and are not indicative of toxicity.
Severe respiratory disease
Patients with severe respiratory disease may have an increased myocardial sensitivity to digitalis glycosides.
Hypokalaemia
Hypokalaemia sensitises the myocardium to the actions of cardiac glycosides.
Hypoxia, hypomagnesaemia and hypercalcaemia
Hypoxia, hypomagnesaemia and marked hypercalcaemia increase myocardial sensitivity to cardiac glycosides.
Administering digoxin to a patient with thyroid disease requires care. Initial and maintenance doses of digoxin should be reduced when thyroid function is subnormal. In hyperthyroidism there is relative digoxin resistance and the dose may have to be increased. During the course of treatment of thyrotoxicosis, dosage should be reduced as the thyrotoxicosis comes under control.
Patients with malabsorption syndrome or gastro-intestinal reconstructions may require larger doses of digoxin.
Chronic congestive cardiac failure
Although many patients with chronic congestive cardiac failure benefit from acute administration of digoxin, there are some in whom it does not lead to constant, marked or lasting haemodynamic improvement. It is therefore important to evaluate the response of each patient individually when digoxin is continued long-term.
Direct current cardioversion:
The risk of provoking dangerous arrhythmias with direct current cardioversion is greatly increased in the presence of digitalis toxicity and is in proportion to the cardioversion energy used.
For elective direct current cardioversion of a patient who is taking digoxin, the drug should be withheld for 24 h before cardioversion is performed. In emergencies, such as cardiac arrest when attempting cardioversion the lowest effective energy should be applied.
Direct current cardioversion is inappropriate in the treatment of arrhythmias thought to be caused by cardiac glycosides.
Digoxin tablets contain lactose.
Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactose deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.

Be careful and be sure to specify the information on the section Effects on ability to drive and use machines in the instructions to the drug Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.
Since central nervous system and visual disturbances have been reported in patients receiving digoxin, patients should exercise caution before driving, using machinery or participating in dangerous activities.
The information provided in Undesirable effects of Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) is based on data of another medicine with exactly the same composition as the Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral). .

In general, the adverse reactions of digoxin are dose-dependent and occur at doses higher than those needed to achieve a therapeutic effect.
Hence, adverse reactions are less common when digoxin is used within the recommended dose range or therapeutic serum concentration range and when there is careful attention to concurrent medications and conditions.
Adverse reactions are listed below by system organ class and frequency. Frequencies are defined as:
Very common > 1/10
Common > 1/100 and < 1/10
Uncommon > 1/1000 and < 1/100
Rare > 1/10,000 and < 1/1000
Very rare < 1/10,000, including isolated reports.
Very common, common and uncommon events were generally determined from clinical trial data. The incidence in placebo was taken into account. Adverse drug reactions identified through post-marketing surveillance were considered to be rare or very rare (including isolated reports).
Thrombocytopaenia
Psychosis, apathy, confusion
CNS disturbances, dizziness
Visual disturbances (blurred or yellow vision)
Arrhythmia, conduction disturbances, bigeminy, trigeminy, PR prolongation, sinus bradycardia
Supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, atrial tachycardia (with or without block), junctional (nodal) tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, ventricular premature contraction, ST segment depression
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea
Intestinal ischaemia, intestinal necrosis
Skin rashes of urticarial or scarlatiniform character may be accompanied by pronounced eosinophilia
Gynaecomastia can occur with long term administration
Fatigue, malaise, weakness
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme:

The information provided in Overdose of Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) is based on data of another medicine with exactly the same composition as the Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral). . Be careful and be sure to specify the information on the section Overdose in the instructions to the drug Lanoxin Pediatric (Oral) directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.
Signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity become more frequent with levels above 2.0 nanograms/ml (2.56 nanomol/l) although there is considerable inter-individual variation. However, in deciding whether a patient's symptoms are due to digoxin, the clinical state, together with serum electrolyte levels and thyroid function are important factors. In patients undergoing haemodialysis, digoxin use is associated with increased mortality; patients with low pre-dialysis potassium concentrations are most at risk.
In adults without heart disease, clinical observation suggests that an overdose of digoxin of 10 to 15 mg was the dose resulting in death of half of the patients. If more than 25 mg of digoxin was ingested by an adult without heart disease, death or progressive toxicity responsive only to digoxin-binding Fab antibody fragments resulted.
Cardiac manifestations
Cardiac manifestations are the most frequent and serious sign of both acute and chronic toxicity. Peak cardiac effects generally occur 3 to 6 hours following overdose and may persist for the ensuing 24 hours or longer. Digoxin toxicity may result in almost any type of arrhythmia. Multiple rhythm disturbances in the same patient are common. These include paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with variable atrioventricular (AV) block, accelerated junctional rhythm, slow atrial fibrillation (with very little variation in the ventricular rate) and bi directional ventricular tachycardia.
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are often the earliest and most common arrhythmia. Bigeminy or trigeminy also occur frequently.
Sinus bradycardia and other bradyarrhythmias are very common.
First, second, third degree heart blocks and AV dissociation are also common.
Early toxicity may only be manifested by prolongation of the PR interval.
Ventricular tachycardia may also be a manifestation of toxicity.
Cardiac arrest from asystole or ventricular fibrillation due to digoxin toxicity is usually fatal.
Acute massive digoxin overdose can result in mild to pronounced hyperkalaemia due to inhibition of the sodium-potassium (Na+-K+) pump. Hypokalaemia may contribute to toxicity.
Non-cardiac manifestations
Gastrointestinal symptoms are very common in both acute and chronic toxicity. The symptoms precede cardiac manifestations in approximately half of the patients in most literature reports. Anorexia, nausea and vomiting have been reported with an incidence up to 80 %. These symptoms usually present early in the course of an overdose.
Neurologic and visual manifestations occur in both acute and chronic toxicity. Dizziness, various CNS disturbances, fatigue and malaise are very common. The most frequent visual disturbance is an aberration of colour vision (predominance of yellow green). These neurological and visual symptoms may persist even after other signs of toxicity have resolved.
In chronic toxicity, non-specific non-cardiac symptoms, such as malaise and weakness, may predominate.
In children aged 1 to 3 years without heart disease, clinical observation suggests that an overdose of digoxin of 6 to 10 mg was the dose resulting in death in half of the patients.
If more than 10 mg of digoxin was ingested by a child aged 1 to 3 years without heart disease, the outcome was uniformly fatal when Fab fragment treatment was not given.
Most manifestations of chronic toxicity in children occur during or shortly after digoxin overdose.
The same arrhythmias or combination of arrhythmias that occur in adults can occur in paediatrics. Sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and rapid atrial fibrillation are seen less frequently in the paediatric population.
Paediatric patients are more likely to present with an AV conduction disturbance or a sinus bradycardia.
Ventricular ectopy is less common, however in massive overdose, ventricular ectopy, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation have been reported.
In neonates, sinus bradycardia or sinus arrest and/or prolonged PR intervals are frequent signs of toxicity. Sinus bradycardia is common in young infants and children. In older children, AV blocks are the most common conduction disorders.
Any arrhythmia or alteration in cardiac conduction that develops in a child taking digoxin should be assumed to be caused by digoxin, until further evaluation proves otherwise.
The frequent non-cardiac manifestations are similar to those seen in adults are gastrointestinal, CNS and visual. However, nausea and vomiting are not frequent in infants and small children.
In addition to the undesirable effects seen with recommended doses, weight loss in older age groups and failure to thrive in infants, abdominal pain due to mesenteric artery ischaemia, drowsiness and behavioural disturbances including psychotic manifestations have been reported in overdose.
After recent ingestion, such as accidental or deliberate self-poisoning, the load available for absorption may be reduced by gastric lavage. Gastric lavage increases vagal tone and may precipitate or worsen arrhythmias. Consider pre-treatment with atropine if gastric lavage is performed. Treatment with digitalis Fab antibody usually renders gastric lavage unnecessary. In the rare instances in which gastric lavage is indicated, it should only be performed by individuals with proper training and expertise.
Patients with massive digitalis ingestion should receive large doses of activated charcoal to prevent absorption and bind digoxin in the gut during enteroenteric recirculation.
If hypokalaemia is present, it should be corrected with potassium supplements either orally or intravenously, depending on the urgency of the situation. In cases where a large amount of digoxin has been ingested hyperkalaemia may be present due to release of potassium from skeletal muscle. Before administering potassium in digoxin overdose the serum potassium level must be known.
Bradyarrhythmias may respond to atropine but temporary cardiac pacing may be required. Ventricular arrhythmias may respond to lignocaine or phenytoin.
Dialysis is not particularly effective in removing digoxin from the body in potentially life-threatening toxicity.
Digoxin-specific antibody Fab is a specific treatment for digoxin toxicity and is very effective. Rapid reversal of the complications that are associated with serious poisoning by digoxin, digitoxin and related glycosides has followed I.V. administration of digoxin-specific (ovine) antibody fragments (Fab). For details, consult the literature supplied with antibody fragments.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Cardiac therapy, cardiac glycosides, digitalis glycosides.
ATC code: C01AA05
Digoxin increases contractility of the myocardium by direct activity. This effect is proportional to dose in the lower range and some effect is achieved with quite low dosing; it occurs even in normal myocardium although it is then entirely without physiological benefit. The primary action of digoxin is specifically to inhibit adenosine triphosphatase, and thus sodium-potassium (Na+-K+) exchange activity, the altered ionic distribution across the membrane resulting in an augmented calcium ion influx and thus an increase in the availability of calcium at the time of excitation-contraction coupling. The potency of digoxin may therefore appear considerably enhanced when the extracellular potassium concentration is low, with hyperkalaemia having the opposite effect.
Digoxin exerts the same fundamental effect of inhibition of the Na+-K+ exchange mechanism on cells of the autonomic nervous system, stimulating them to exert indirect cardiac activity. Increases in efferent vagal impulses result in reduced sympathetic tone and diminished impulse conduction rate through the atria and atrio-ventricular node. Thus, the major beneficial effect of digoxin is reduction of ventricular rate.
Intravenous administration of a loading dose produces an appreciable pharmacological effect within 5 to 30 mins, while using the oral route the onset of effect occurs in 0.5 to 2 hours.
The PROVED trial designed to determine the effectiveness of digoxin in 88 patients with chronic, stable mild to moderate heart failure. Withdrawal of digoxin or its continuation was performed in a prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre trial of patients with chronic, stable mild to moderate heart failure secondary to left ventricular systolic dysfunction who had normal sinus rhythm and were receiving long-term treatment with diuretic drugs and digoxin. Patients withdrawn from digoxin therapy showed worsened maximal exercise capacity (p = 0.003) an increased incidence of treatment failures (p = 0.039) and a decreased time to treatment failure (p = 0.037). Patients who continued to receive digoxin had a lower body weight (p = 0.044) and heart rate (p = 0.003) and a higher left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.016). The overall percentage of participants having one or more adverse event was similar in the two groups: 59 % in the placebo group and 69 % in the digoxin group. The types of adverse event were unspecified
The RADIANCE trial examined the effects of discontinuation of digoxin in stable NYHA class II and III patients who were receiving diuretics and ACE inhibitors. The 178 patients were initially stabilised on a combination of captopril or enalapril, diuretics and digoxin, then randomised to continue digoxin therapy or change to placebo. The relative risk of worsening disease in the placebo group was 5.9 compared to the digoxin group. Withdrawal of digoxin was accompanied by worsening symptoms, reduced exercise tolerance, and a deteriorating quality of life, indicating that patients with CHF were at considerable risk from discontinuation of the drug in spite of the continuation of therapy with diuretics and ACE inhibitors. Approximately 56 % in the placebo group and 49% in the digoxin group experienced unspecified side effects.
In the DIG trial, 6800 patients with heart failure were randomised to receive digoxin or placebo. No difference was found in all-cause mortality between patients who were treated with digoxin and those who were given placebo. In the digoxin group, there was a trend toward a decrease in the risk of death attributed to worsening heart failure (risk ratio, 0.88; 95% confidence interval, 0.77 to 1.01; p = 0.06). However, the patients who received digoxin had significantly (p<0.001) fewer hospital admissions when the drug was given in addition to diuretics and ACE inhibitors. Digoxin therapy was most beneficial in patients with ejection fractions of ≤25%, patients with enlarged hearts (cardiothoracic ratio of >0.55), and patients in NYHA functional class III or IV. In the DIG study, 11.9 % of patients in the digoxin arm and 7.9 % of patients in the placebo arm were suspected of having digoxin toxicity, the most common symptoms being new episodes of ventricular fibrillation, supraventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia, or advanced atrioventricular block.
The AFFIRM study involved a total of 4060 patients recruited to a randomised, multicentre comparison of two treatment strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation and a high risk of stroke or death. The primary end point was overall mortality. There were 356 deaths among the patients assigned to rhythm-control therapy (amiodarone, disopyramide, flecainide, moricizine, procainamide, propafenone, quinidine, sotalol, and combinations of these drugs) and 310 deaths among those assigned to rate-control [β-blockers, calcium-channel blockers (verapamil and diltiazem), digoxin, and combinations of these drugs) therapy (mortality at five years, 23.8% and 21.3%, respectively; hazard ratio, 1.15 [95% confidence interval, 0.99 to 1.34]; p=0.08). More patients in the rhythm-control group than in the rate-control group were hospitalised, and there were more adverse drug effects in the rhythm-control group as well.
Indirect cardiac contractility changes also result from changes in venous compliance brought about by the altered autonomic activity and by direct venous stimulation. The interplay between direct and indirect activity governs the total circulatory response, which is not identical for all subjects. In the presence of certain supraventricular arrhythmias, the neurogenically mediated slowing of AV conduction is paramount.
The degree of neurohormonal activation occurring in patients with heart failure is associated with clinical deterioration and an increased risk of death. Digoxin reduces activation of both the sympathetic nervous system and the (renin-angiotensin) system independently of its inotropic actions, and may thus favourably influence survival. Whether this is achieved via direct sympathoinhibitory effects or by re-sensitising baroreflex mechanisms remains unclear.

The Tmax following IV administration is approximately 1 to 5 hours, while the Tmax for oral administration is 2 to 6 hours. Upon oral administration, digoxin is absorbed from the stomach and upper part of the small intestine. When digoxin is taken after meals, the rate of absorption is slowed, but the total amount of digoxin absorbed is usually unchanged. When taken with meals high in fibre, however, the amount absorbed from an oral dose may be reduced.
The bioavailability of orally administered digoxin is approximately 63 % in tablet form and 75 % as oral solution.
The initial distribution of digoxin from the central to the peripheral compartment generally lasts from 6 to 8 h. This is followed by a more gradual decline in serum digoxin concentration, which is dependent upon digoxin elimination from the body. The volume of distribution is large (Vdss = 510 litres in healthy volunteers), indicating digoxin to be extensively bound to body tissues. The highest digoxin concentrations are seen in the heart, liver and kidney, that in the heart averaging 30-fold that in the systemic circulation. Although the concentration in skeletal muscle is far lower, this store cannot be overlooked since skeletal muscle represents 40 % of total body weight. Of the small proportion of digoxin circulating in plasma, approximately 25 % is bound to protein.
The majority of digoxin is excreted by the kidneys as an intact drug, although a small fraction of the dose is metabolised to pharmacologically active and inactive metabolites. The main metabolites of digoxin are dihydrodigoxin and digoxygenin.
The major route of elimination is renal excretion of the unchanged drug.
Digoxin is a substrate for P-glycoprotein. As an efflux protein on the apical membrane of enterocytes, P-glycoprotein may limit the absorption of digoxin. P-glycoprotein in renal proximal tubules appears to be an important factor in the renal elimination of digoxin.
Following I.V. administration to healthy volunteers, between 60 and 75 % of a digoxin dose is recovered unchanged in the urine over a six day follow-up period. Total body clearance of digoxin has been shown to be directly related to renal function, and percent daily loss is thus a function of creatinine clearance. The total and renal clearances of digoxin have been found to be 193 ± 25 ml/min and 152 ± 24 ml/min in a healthy control population.
In a small percentage of individuals, orally administered digoxin is converted to cardioinactive reduction products (digoxin reduction products or DRPs) by colonic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. In these subjects over 40 % of the dose may be excreted as DRPs in the urine. Renal clearances of the two main metabolites, dihydrodigoxin and digoxygenin, have been found to be 79 ± 13 ml/min and 100 ± 26 ml/min, respectively.
In the majority of cases however, the major route of digoxin elimination is renal excretion of the unchanged drug.
The terminal elimination half-life of digoxin in patients with normal renal function is 30 to 40 h.
Since most of the drug is bound to the tissues rather than circulating in the blood, digoxin is not effectively removed from the body during cardiopulmonary by-pass. Furthermore, only about 3 % of a digoxin dose is removed from the body during 5 h of haemodialysis.
In the newborn period, renal clearance of digoxin is diminished and suitable dosage adjustments must be observed. This is especially pronounced in the premature infant since renal clearance reflects maturation of renal function. Digoxin clearance has been found to be 65.6 ± 30 ml/min/1.73m2 at three months, compared to only 32 ± 7 ml/min/1.73m2 at one week. By 12 months digoxin clearance of 88 ± 43 ml / min / 1.73m2 has been reported. Beyond the immediate newborn period, children generally require proportionally larger doses than adults on the basis of body weight and body surface area.
The terminal elimination half-life of digoxin is prolonged in patients with impaired renal function, and in anuric patients may be of the order of 100 h.
Hepatic impairment has little effect on digoxin clearance.
Age-related declines in renal function in elderly patients can result in a lower rates of digoxin clearance than in younger subjects, with reported digoxin clearance rates in the elderly of 53 ml/min/1.73m2.
Digoxin clearance is 12% - 14% less in females than males and may need to be considered in dosing calculations.

Beating the Nazi Invader - Hitler's Spies Saboteurs and Secrets in Britain 1940
Neil R Storey
Publisher: Pen & Sword Military
"A compelling examination of an aspect of World War II that always has a rapt audience: espionage . . . With a cast of colorful characters." —Library Journal (starred review)
Beating the Nazi Invader is a revealing and disturbing exploration of the darker history of Nazis, spies and "Fifth Columnist" saboteurs in Britain, and the extensive top-secret countermeasures taken before and during the real threat of invasion in 1940.
The author's research describes the Nazi Party organization in Britain and reveals the existence of the Gestapo headquarters in central London. The reader gains vivid insights into Nazi agents and terrorist cells, the Special Branch and MI5 teams who hunted them and investigated murders believed to have been committed by Third Reich agents on British soil.
Accessing a host of recently declassified files the book explores the highly classified measures taken for the protection of the Royal Family, national treasures and gold reserves. The British government made extensive plans for the continuation of government in the event of invasion including the creation of all-powerful Regional Commissioners, "Black Lists" of suspected collaborators and a British resistance organization. We also learn of the Nazis' own occupation measures for suborning the population and the infamous Sonderfahndungsliste G.B, the Nazi "Special Wanted List."
The result is a fascinating insight into the measures and actions taken to ensure that Great Britain did not succumb to the gravest threat of enemy invasion and occupation for centuries.

SKIN GAME: I Hate Your Color
Yuwrian Rise
"The climate of hate is unbearable, and it is destroying the spirit of America and the world. How pathetic we become to hate or prejudge a person because their skin color is different than ours. When are going to realize that love sees no color, and love is more powerful than those that perpetrate hate and hateful rhetoric. President Donald Trump can be blamed for some of the hate message disseminating; however, common sense tells us, that respect change any atmosphere of racism. A person's skin color does not tell us how much love we can give them, or how much love we can accept from them. SKIN COLOR is a book that explores the reason why we have become so blatantly hateful toward one another."
The Thomas Paine Collection -...
Three works by the political theorist and Founding Father whose impassioned arguments sparked a watershed moment in the progress of democracy.Common Sense: Originally published anonymously in 1776, this landmark political pamphlet spread across the colonies like no document of its kind had ever done before. It was read aloud in town squares and affixed to tavern walls. Both a plainly stated case for separation from Great Britain and a stirring call to action, Common Sense played a decisive role in America's march toward revolution.Rights of Man: This forceful rebuke of aristocratic rule and persuasive endorsement of self-governance became one of the most influential political statements in history. Thomas Paine asserts that human rights are not granted by the government but inherent to man's nature. He argues that the purpose of government is to protect those rights, and if a government fails to do so, its people are duty-bound to revolution.The Age of Reason: In this philosophical treatise on theology, Paine rejects the notion of divine revelation, saying "it is revelation to the first person only, and hearsay to every other." He proceeds with a detailed analysis of the Bible's inconsistencies and historical inaccuracies to conclude that it cannot be a divinely inspired text. Arguing against all forms of organized religion, he declares nature itself to be the only true testament to the existence of a divine creator.
The European Union Explained -...
Andreas Staab
"An informative, well-paced, and clearly articulated narrative of the European Union's development" (Jennifer Yoder, Colby College).
This brief and accessible introduction to the European Union is ideal for anyone who needs a concise overview of the structure, history, and policies of the EU. This updated edition includes a new chapter on the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. Andreas Staab offers basic terms and interpretive frameworks for understanding the evolution of the EU; the overall structure, purpose, and mandate of its main constituent divisions; and key policy areas, such as market unification and environmental policy.
"Readers in America and Europe alike will benefit from the very considerable expertise revealed in these pages." —Hugh Dykes, House of Lords, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on the European Union
"A fine introduction to the European Union and will appeal to a range of collections, from political science and business holdings to college-level collections strong in the media." —Midwest Book Review
The Next Century
David Halberstam
The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist delivers "[a] sobering account of the struggle for world economic supremacy" in this New York Times bestseller (Library Journal).  What can we learn from the events of twentieth century? With the effects of the Cold War still evident in the global economy and the lives of everyday Americans, master journalist and historian David Halberstam sets out to answer this question. Halberstam's perceptive The Next Century looks to the future by examining the past. From the rise of the Japanese economy to the startling changes that reshaped the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Halberstam argues that the American economy's survival depends on the rededication and continued education of the American worker. As pertinent in today's economy as it was when first published in 1991, The Next Century is a timeless call to arms, reminding us that we must continually better ourselves in order to compete on the world stage. This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.
Reset - Iran Turkey and...
Stephen Kinzer
What can the United States do to help realize its dream of a peaceful, democratic Middle East? Stephen Kinzer offers a surprising answer in this paradigm-shifting book. Two countries in the region, he argues, are America's logical partners in the twenty-first century: Turkey and Iran.Besides proposing this new "power triangle," Kinzer recommends that the United States reshape relations with its two traditional Middle East allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia. This book provides a penetrating, timely critique of America's approach to the world's most volatile region and offers a startling alternative.Kinzer is a master storyteller with an eye for grand characters and illuminating historical detail. In this book he introduces us to larger-than-life figures, such as a Nebraska schoolteacher who became a martyr to democracy in Iran, a Turkish radical who transformed his country and Islam forever, and a colorful parade of princes, politicians, women of the world, spies, oppressors, liberators, and dreamers. Kinzer's provocative new view of the Middle East is the rare book that will richly entertain while moving a vital policy debate beyond the stale alternatives of the last fifty years.
Rules for Radicals - A Practical...
Saul D. Alinsky
First published in 1971, Rules for Radicals is Saul Alinsky's impassioned counsel to young radicals on how to effect constructive social change and know "the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one." Written in the midst of radical political developments whose direction Alinsky was one of the first to question, this volume exhibits his style at its best. Like Thomas Paine before him, Alinsky was able to combine, both in his person and his writing, the intensity of political engagement with an absolute insistence on rational political discourse and adherence to the American democratic tradition.

Mortgage payments worry S'poreans; expats fret over pay
A MAJORITY of Singaporeans worry about their ability to pay their mortgages while expats are fretting over smaller incomes, a survey by Zurich International Life (ZIL) showed.
'I wonder about the result if the survey is done now,' said Andy Robinson, ZIL Asia regional director in a recent BT interview. Singapore is experiencing its worst downturn ever with some forecasting that the economy could shrink as much as 8-10 per cent this year.
Seventy per cent of Singaporeans in the November survey were confident in their ability to save adequately while 60 per cent worry about their ability to pay mortgages. Mr Robinson thinks the Central Provident Fund mandatory contributions accounts for the optimism on savings while job security anxieties are keeping Singaporeans awake over their mortgages.
The survey which involved 212 Singaporeans and expatriates with a minimum monthly income of $4,000 revealed a general low level of confidence in economic recovery. Ninety per cent of expatriates are making changes in the allocation of their wealth, with more going to savings. Eighty two per cent of expatriates report a reduction in disposable income which warranted 62 per cent feeling the need for a change in their lifestyle.
'Part of that is buying less property,' said Mr Robinson referring to the changes in allocation of wealth by expatriates. Foreigners had been big buyers of high-end properties in the past five years. And over the past five years, more and more expatriates have increasingly switched to local terms from expensive expatriate packages, he added.
The survey also showed that priority of saving or investing remains at the top of the list of those asked. ZIL prepares two research reports a year asking Singaporeans and expatriates about their attitudes to financial planning and the correlation between their financial and lifestyle behaviour.
ZIL which began business here four years ago selling investment-linked products has seen an increase in policyholders surrendering their policies, said Mr Robinson.
Part of the Zurich group, ZIL offers life insurance and investment products to affluent customers and expatriates.
To date ZIL has 4,000 policyholders, of which about 1,800 are Singaporeans. In 2008, annualised premiums reached US$71.2 million and he expects sales to be flat this year.
'Clearly we are seeing lower levels of business now compared to third quarter 2008,' he said.
For customers who want to surrender their policies because they have lost their jobs or they want to cut losses, ZIL does offer some alternatives such as a premium holiday, he said.
Minimum premiums of ZIL investment-linked products are $425 a month.
ZIL operates in Singapore as a branch of the Zurich Financial Services Group, an insurance-based financial services provider. Headquartered in Zurich, the group employs about 60,000 people and has customers in 170 countries.

DESCRIPTION JPS5767486
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a connection diagram of the conventional
voice output circuit connection device, FIG. 2 is a connection diagram of the voice output circuit
connection device in one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. b is a side view of a two-pole
and three-pole head plug, respectively. A, B: 3 pole jack, 2a, 2b: earth terminal, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b =
signal terminal, 7 to 10: resistance.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connection
device of an audio output circuit for supplying stereo signals to headphones or i earphones.
Heretofore, as a connecting device of this type of circuit, there is one having two sets of jacks so
that two sets of jacks and one telephone can be connected. For example, the slave shown in FIG.
1/71. In the conventional apparatus, A and B are two sets of 03-pole jacks for stereo
headphones. Shacks A and B respectively have two sets of signal terminals 3a and 4a. ab, 4b and
earth terminals 2a, 2b. 12 and 1 'are terminals for connection of stereo sound output, R
represents a right channel signal and L represents a left channel signal. These stereo headphones
are used for small portable stereo FM radios, tape recorders, cassette recorders, radiocassettes
and the like. By the way, although such commercially available stereo headphones are portable,
there has been a drawback that the reproduced sound leaks to the outside, is not sufficiently
small, and becomes too noticeable when worn. Also, earplug-type earphones, which are
conventionally used in conventional transistor radios and the like, do not leak sound to the
outside and are small enough to be hardly noticeable at the time of wearing. There is stereo-t ##
4. If it can not be used for \-'and it is inserted directly into a shirt as shown in Fig. 1, its plug
portion is for the structure for two-pole jack shown in Fig. 3 a. The 3-piece channel of audio
output is grounded and mono! As for le [, i egg 涛. There is also a drawback that can not be used.
, -M-. Based on the above point of view, the present invention is connected to an audio output
circuit that enables stereo reception using two monaural earplugs / spu-type earphones and also
allows use of the original stereo headphones. It is an attempt to capture the device. FIG. 2 shows
an embodiment of the present invention. The jacks A and B used here have the same structure as
that shown in FIG. 7 to 1 o are resistors R8, and the four resistors shown in the figure are
selected to have the same resistance value so as not to cause an imbalance in the output. The
wiring method is different from that of FIG. 1, and the signal end T-3a of the A jack and the B
jack signal terminal 4b are connected to the R channel wiring of the stereo signal through the
resistors 7 and 1 °, respectively. On the other hand, the signal end of the A jack 4a and the
signal terminal 3b of the B jack are also connected to the L channel wiring of the stereo signal via
the resistors 8 and 9, respectively.
And kidding. よう。 C, connected, f 'Lfrc 9 ya A (6, if you insert an earplug-type earphone with a
plug shown in Fig. 3a for mono laur, the left channel will also be jack B by jack A) (Since the
channel can be received, a stereo signal can be received by two mono-rail · tt # 4 'jacks.
Furthermore, if stereo headphones (shown in FIG. 3) connected to either one of the 11-jack A or
B are connected, stereo reception can also be performed. However, in this case, jack A and jack B
are mutually opposite (this is opposite channel, so be careful. As described above, according to
the present invention, it has a feature that stereo reception can be performed without any
modification even when using a portable earplug-type earphone or stereo headphone.

Interesting Facts About LDS Temples in Utah
Don't you just love reading interesting facts about LDS temples? In this post you're going to learn every temple fact I could find about each of the 17 LDS temples in Utah.
Pretty soon, we'll have new temples in Orem, Taylorsville, Layton, Saratoga Springs, Tooele, and Washington County. Once these have been completed, I'll update this post with any interesting facts.
Because this article is extremely long, I've provided you with a table of contents. Clicking on a temple will take you directly to that part of the page that talks about it.
LDS Temples in Utah #1 – Bountiful Utah Temple
Bountiful LDS Temple Facts
Dedicated on 1/8/95 by President Howard W. Hunter.
This temple had 28 dedicatory sessions that were attended by 201,655 people. This is the most people that have ever been to a temple dedication. source
The Bountiful Utah Temple was the first temple built in Davis County, Utah and the 8th built in Utah.
The floor plan was also used for the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It has different spires though.
President Howard W. Hunter only dedicated two temples during the short time that he was the president of the Church. Those two temples were the Bountiful Utah Temple and the Orlando Florida Temple.
7,500 people went to the groundbreaking ceremony for the Bountiful Utah Temple. Some people had to sit on the hillside because of how many people were there. Another 2,500 people viewed the ceremony from remote video.
