Adverse Effects of Inhaled Corticosteroid Therapy
Barbara Apgar
Early intervention with inhaled corticosteroids is currently considered first-line anti-inflammatory therapy in patients with asthma. Even though adverse effects are not commonly associated with inhaled corticosteroids, the trend toward higher dosing has led to a greater awareness of possible dose-related systemic adverse effects. The comparative risks and benefits of newer and older agents continue to be debated, with the realization that long-acting beta2-agonists, theophyllines or antileukotrienes can still play a role in therapy. Lipworth conducted a literature search to assess the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroid therapy in patients with asthma, along with associated systemic adverse effects.
The results of the search were primarily qualitative and included evaluations of adrenal suppression, the effects of therapy on growth and bone metabolism, and adverse effects on the eyes and skin. Where appropriate, a given end point was analyzed to produce a comparable response across different studies; however, this was possible only for adrenal suppression. A statistical meta-analysis using regression was performed for parameters of adrenal suppression in 27 studies.
Studies that evaluated the effects of at least three doses of inhaled corticosteroid on adrenal suppression were included in the analysis. Two types of tests are generally used to evaluate adrenocortical function: screening tests of basal adrenocortical activity and dynamic stimulation tests to assess adrenocortical reserve. Obtaining a 24-hour measurement of plasma cortisol levels or urinary free cortisol excretion is the most sensitive way to evaluate basal activity. Measuring overnight or early morning urinary cortisol-creatinine excretion appears to be as sensitive as an integrated 24-hour urinary free cortisol collection and is more sensitive than a spot measurement of 9 a.m. plasma cortisol levels.
Marked adrenal suppression occurs with dosages of inhaled corticosteroids greater than 1.5 mg per day (0.75 mg per day for fluticasone propionate), although there is a significant degree of interindividual susceptibility. Meta-analysis of 21 studies of urinary cortisol levels and 13 studies of suppression of 8 a.m. plasma cortisol levels revealed that fluticasone demonstrated significantly steeper dose-related systemic bioactivity than beclomethasone, budesonide or triamcinolone. The effects were most apparent at dosages above 0.8 mg per day, because of the differences in slope gradients between fluticasone and the other drugs.
The effects of inhaled corticosteroids on bone age and growth rate are important considerations. The results of long-term studies suggest that suppressing asthmatic disease activity in children usually outweighs any potential systemic bioactivity of inhaled corticosteroids in determining long-term growth. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to caution that the use of recommended dosages of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids may be associated with a reduction of growth velocity.
One concern associated with the long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids is the potential adverse effects on bone metabolism, particularly osteoporosis and fracture. Inhaled corticosteroids have been shown to be associated with dose-related effects on biochemical bone markers that occur less frequently than with oral corticosteroids. Bone markers should not be used as a surrogate for bone density to predict risk of development of osteoporosis. Decreases in bone density have been associated with long-term daily corticosteroid therapy. Supplemental estrogen may have a protective effect against osteoporosis. Supplemental estrogen should be recommended for use in postmenopausal women with asthma, as it guards against bone loss.
Long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids appears to affect the eyes and the skin. The risk of posterior subcapsular cataracts is increased, and a small but significant risk for ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma is associated with regular use of high-dose corticosteroids. There is also evidence of a dose-response effect of inhaled corticosteroids on bruising and thinning of the skin, especially in older women.
The author concludes that fluticasone propionate exhibits greater dose-related adrenal suppression than other available inhaled corticosteroids, particularly at dosages above 0.8 mg per day. Because the systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids vary by individual, it is difficult to predict whether systemic effects will develop in a patient at a given dosage. Therefore, patients on long-term inhaled corticosteroid therapy should undergo regular examinations.

I have implemented Java client sending transactional emails including data from tokens sent in rest API call. So far everything has gone smoothly but now I faced a new challenge - I should include variable length lists to email from tokens sent in rest API call. Velocity script would be most the obvious solution, but can't find information if tokens sent in API call exists in Velocity context. Does anyone have information on this? Are there any other possible ways to include lists to emails?
Velocity tokens can't be sent as temporary tokens (along with the Schedule/Request Campaign APIs).
You have to update the token separately/permanently using the Asset API, then send the mail.
Thank you for your reply. That is what I was afraid of. Unfortunately updating tokens separately is no-go, the email is sent easily with thousands of different token sets in one "transaction" on client side.
Why can't those key-value pairs (let's not call them "tokens," because they need not be individual tokens) be stored in only one Velocity token, storing a HashMap keyed on the Lead ID?
Single token with JSON content would do as it is be possible to parse JSON in Velocity. I'm afraid storing this JSON to Lead would be just asking for trouble. It is possible that multiple emails are sent for a single Lead with different token values within seconds (or milliseconds depending on latency). I doubt that consistence in this case is guaranteed, meaning all these emails would have expected content.
I doubt that consistence in this case is guaranteed, meaning all these emails would have expected content.
You can guarantee that the Velocity token will be updated when you receive the HTTP response, so not sure I see the specific concurrency issue here, long as you serialize each token update and its subsequent Request Campaign.

Parents putting off toilet training with some relying on nurseries
06 February 2019 by Meredith Jones Russell
More children are being toilet trained later, according to a new survey of early years staff.
The results of the survey conducted by children's bowel and bladder charity ERIC and National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) found that 68 per cent of early years staff had observed children being potty trained at a later age over the last five years than in the past.
Home learning: A parent's guide to...potty training
New study queries effects of late potty training
Almost half (43 per cent) of the 202 early years practitioners surveyed felt this was a result of parents putting off potty training due to being too busy or at work too long.
A nursery owner from the West Midlands commented, 'Parents are busy and it has lifestyle impacts. It's about being consistent and showing them early on about what a potty is, but the morning routine is a busy time for parents to be able to do this. They rely on nursery to do this, but the potty should be the first place a child goes once they wake up to understand the morning bowel routine.'
While 92 per cent of practitioners believed toilet training should be a shared responsibility between nursery and home, the survey suggested that 70 per cent of early years practitioners have received no training in how to potty train.
Many look online for information and support (27 per cent) or contact their health visiting teams (25 per cent).
To support this, NDNA and ERIC have developed a potty training policy and online training for nursery staff.
They also plan to develop resources for practitioners and families which will include tips on spotting the signs of a child being toilet ready, and steps to achieve potty training success.
Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of NDNA, said ,'It's clear that parents and nursery practitioners need to work more closely together to benefit children so no child goes to school unable to use the toilet properly. We aim to empower nursery staff to feel confident enough to speak to parents about potty training.
'The absorbency of disposable nappies and pull-up pants means that often parents and children don't notice when they are wet, which can delay potty training. It is important to progress this at the right time.
'A combination of factors are leading to children learning to use the toilet later.'
The majority of early years settings surveyed included progress with potty training as part of their age two check, and more than half of nurseries had a potty training policy in place.
However, Juliette Randall, chief executive of ERIC, said there is still work to do.
'It's good news that so many settings include potty training as part of their age two progress review, however only 53 per cent of respondents actually have a potty training policy in place. They tend to cover how to identify when to start potty training, how to use praise and recognition effectively and a structured plan for potty training.
'Critically, the survey showed there is little or no recognition of the relationship between successful potty training and healthy bladders and bowels. Constipation is the most common bowel problem in children affecting up to 30 per cent of all children and particularly common among pre-school children. It can have a huge impact on potty training yet only 16 per cent include how to identify and manage constipation in their policies.
'Only 17 per cent of respondents recognise the importance of drinking lots of fluids in order to maintain healthy bowels, keeping constipation at bay. Drinks shouldn't be limited as the bladder needs to be filled and emptied properly to work.'

Centegra Health System is experiencing increased cases of influenza and flu-related hospitalizations. For the safety of hospital patients, visitors and Associates during this flu season, We are asking for your cooperation once again with the implementation of our visitor restriction policy.
Limited visitation for significant others in obstetrics and pediatrics.
This is the second year we have implemented additional restrictions to our visitation policy. As an organization we believe it our responsibility to make every effort to reduce the spread of this illness. Please reinforce with your patients, and other with whom you interact in our facilities, our intentions to with these temporary restrictions.
We would like to remind all clinicians of the importance of hand washing, masks and other appropriate measures to prevent the spread of flu. Likewise, for the safety of your other patients, consider expeditious discharge as soon as appropriate to prevent risk of infection to them as well as their families. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and your patients will appreciate it as well.

In our effort to enhance patient and healthcare provider safety, last year Centegra Health System (CHS) made the influenza vaccination mandatory for all Associates. The program was a huge success in vaccinating over 95% of associates. This season all physicians are expected to participate in this Medical Executive Committee (MEC) approved initiative to increase our patient safety.
Research shows that vaccination is the single most important measure for reducing the impact of influenza not only on ourselves but our community as well. It is therefore our responsibility as healthcare workers to do the right thing for our patients. The Center for Disease Control, IDPH and The Joint Commission both highly recommend flu shots for all health care workers and many progressive healthcare organizations both locally and nationally have seen positive outcomes as a result of mandatory flu shot programs.
CHS requires all associates, physicians, volunteers, students, clinical contract workers, and identified vendors to receive an influenza vaccination in order to protect patients, Associates, family members, and the community from influenza. Exceptions will only be granted for medical conditions and religious beliefs. Both will require written documentation. Associates previously granted exemptions are required to complete a exemption renewal. Please review the updated CHS Influenza Immunization Program policy for details.
In that regard we are offering influenza vaccinations free to all Physicians, Licensed Independent Practitioners, Associates, volunteers, and students. Please review the attached poster detailing the vaccination schedule.
If you will be receiving your vaccination through your practice we will need you to complete the attached form and submit it to the Medical Staff Office.

The risk of Guillain-Barre is often viewed as an obstacle to influenza vaccination.
A recent study by Kwong et al published in the June 28th issue of the Lancet identified cases of Guillain-Barre that occurred with 6 weeks of vaccination and found that more cases occurred in the control group (not vaccinated) than in those who were vaccinated. Far greater number of Guillain-Barre cases were identified in the non-vaccinated group than in the ones vaccinated.
The conclusion reached was that the attributable risk for Guillain-Barre after seasonal inflluenza vaccination is lower than those after influenza disease itself. This study was funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research.

As I have researched this fascinating civilization, I've been fortunate to find translations of histories written by Anna Comnena, Michael Psellus, John Skylitzes, and Michael Attaleiates. The one thing that struck me was how infrequently these writers used their city's proper name. Instead, they called it "the Queen of Cities", "the city of Byzas", "Byzantium", "the Reigning City" or just "the city". Almost never did they call it Constantinople.
I was so struck by this that when I saw "Byzantium" used in the translation of John Skylitzes's history I e-mailed the professor who had translated it and asked him about it. He assured me he had translated it correctly. In thinking it over, I realized that it wasn't that different from the nicknames of cities today – "L.A." for Los Angeles, "Vegas" for Las Vegas, "the Big Apple" for New York City, and "D.C." for Washington, DC. The nicknames often shorten the number of syllables used to name a place – and "Constantinopolis" in Greek with its six syllables needed shortening!
The city's current name, Istanbul, is just a slurring of the Greek words meaning "go to the city", reflecting how that great city that has drawn millions to it through the ages is still the city calling you to visit.

Home News Officials in Iran Confess that the Public Reject the Ruling Mullahs
Officials in Iran Confess that the Public Reject the Ruling Mullahs
Khatami advised the regime's clerics and loyalists to refrain from any action that might encourage the MEK.
In a meeting with regime supporters on Friday, Ahmad Khatami, a prominent regime official and member of the Guardian Council, admitted that the people despise the mullahs, saying, "some are attempting to divorce religion from politics."
Meybodi: public blames the clergy for the current crisis
Khatami raised alarm over the activities of supporters of the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) during the same session, according to the official IRNA news agency. The clerics and regime loyalists were advised by Khatami not to take any steps that might "encourage the MEK."
Khatami isn't the first one who has expressed concern over the mullahs' declining reputation. "The public is blaming clerics for the current crisis," Mohammad Taghi Fazel Meibodi, a member of the Assembly of Teachers in Qom Seminary, said in comments to the state-run Hamdeli daily on January 4.
"Unfortunately, the people have a bad view toward clerics," he added. Many student clerics who go to the market or to stores to buy products attempt to avoid wearing clerical robes to avoid being ridiculed."
"Today, clerics wear their religious attire less in public appearances to avoid feeling uncomfortable," Meibodi continued. People will disrespect a cleric if he rides in a taxi. The priests are blamed for excessive pricing and all difficulties."
Meybodi continued: "Today, clerics wear their religious clothes less in public in order not to feel uncomfortable." If Rouhani gets in a taxi, people will disrespect him.
The driver said three times, "I do not suggest the mullahs ride."
In a similar article published on January 4, Hamdeli cautioned about the dangers of the clerics' lavish lifestyle. "Clerics seeking career prospects in industries, oil, sports, recreation, and even the meat market have emerged from their attention to material life, the attractiveness of government and political roles, and their habit of opulent life and assuming key positions."
"This condition expresses itself in religious sites becoming fewer and less popular," Hamdeli said.
Another mullah, Mohammad Reza Zaeri, posted on Instagram on January 7: "People have spit on me, insulted me, and right now, my Snap [Iranian ride-sharing app] driver forced me get out of the car in the middle of the street!" Are the individuals who should comprehend and know about this level of hatred that we've been warning about for years even aware of it? No. Those who arrive and go with their own personal drivers and bodyguards are not held responsible. 'I don't offer rides to mullahs,' the driver stated three times.
With their comments, these officials and the media are barely scraping the surface. People's antipathy for the ruling mullahs is so strong that recordings of people confronting mullahs have become commonplace on social media.
In a similar article published on Jan 4, Hamdali warned of the dangers of the clergy's luxurious lifestyle.
The burning of posters and sculptures of regime
"You are all filthy," one individual says to a mullah in a video that has gone viral on social media. This dog is cleaner than Ali Khamenei, the regime's supreme leader."
The burning of posters and sculptures of regime figures and icons, such as the now-dead terrorist commander Qassem Soleimani, are further examples of this hatred.
The people's animosity for the mullahs' rule is mirrored in their support for the Iranian Resistance and Resistance Units. Every day, more and more individuals of all ages and walks of life are drawn to the Iranian Resistance's cause, which is to destroy the mullahs' tyranny and replace it with a democratic state.
As a result, while Khatami, Meibodi, and Zaeri's comments are noteworthy, they are only the tip of the iceberg. Iran's people will express their dissatisfaction with the mullahs' rule through protests and uprisings.
The burning of posters and statues of regime figures and figures, such as the now-deceased Sardar Qassem Soleimani, is another example of this hatred.
Resistance Units


Jay N. Meegoda, PhD, PE, is a professor and director of the Geotechnical Testing Laboratory in the department of civil and environmental engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology. His research can be best described as the mechanics of geo-environmental engineering, where he utilizes scientific concepts and engineering technologies in real-world applications. He set up the centrifugal testing laboratory and the asphalt-testing laboratory for his research.
Meegoda is a co-principal investigator of a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) with a $1 million match from NJIT to establish a state-of-the-art geo-environmental lab. He was one of the main players in writing the proposal, set-up and extensive use of this NSF-sponsored NJIT state-of-the-art geo-environmental laboratory. Under the heading of mechanics of geo-environmental engineering, Meegoda´s research can be further subdivided into five main trust areas: engineering properties of contaminated soils; centrifugal modeling of contaminant transport; micro-mechanics; reuse of contaminated soils; ultrasound research; and underground Infrastructure Initiative.

This program covers the important topic of finding the complex zeros of polynomials in Algebra. We begin by discussing what the complex zero of a polynomial is and why it is important in algebra. Next, we solve several problems involving calculating the complex zeros of polynomials to give students practice. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that the skills learned in this section are committed to long-term memory.

Modified Object Segmentation Database (mOSD)
============================================

This dataset is a modified version of [Object Segmentation Database][osd] (OSD)
and may be used for evaluation of model-free geometrical segmentation
algorithms. The original dataset was collected and released by Richtsfeld et
al. Below is the author's description:

> Segmenting unknown objects from generic scenes is one of the ambitious and
> elusive goals of computer vision. With the recent introduction of cheap and
> powerful 3D sensors (such as the Microsoft Kinect or Asus XtionPRO) which
> deliver a dense point cloud plus color for almost any indoor scene, a renewed
> interest in 3D methods holds the promise to push the envelope slightly
> further.
>
> The Object Segmentation Database provides RGBD data in several subcategories
> to allow evaluation of object segmentation approaches. The database contains
> currently 111 entries:
>
> Learnset:
>   - learn  0-16 => Boxes
>   - learn 17-24 => Stacked Boxes
>   - learn 25-32 => Occluded Objects
>   - learn 33-44 => Cylindric Objects
>
> Testset:
>   - test  0-15 => Boxes
>   - test 16-23 => Stacked Boxes
>   - test 24-30 => Occluded Objects
>   - test 31-42 => Cylindric Objects
>   - test 43-54 => Mixed Objects
>   - test 55-65 => Complex Scene

Modifications
-------------

The modifications are motivated by the need to evaluate model-free geometrical
segmentation algorithms. In a situation when an object is severely occluded, it
may appear as two or more geometrically disjoint segments. A model-free
algorithm can not be expected to know that such segments belong to the same
object. However, the ground truth annotation in the original dataset assigns the
same label to such segments. This leads to undesired penalty of the performance
when evaluating the algorithms in question. The modified annotation assigns
different labels to disjoint segments.

The dataset was changed in a few other ways as well. The list below summarizes
all the modifications that were made to the dataset:

1. Disjoint parts of the same objects were annotated with *different* labels.
2. Labeling was rectified in the vicinity of object edges. The new labels are
   consistent with geometric boundaries of the objects.
3. The point clouds were cropped to remove the floor, the walls, and irrelevant
   stuff on the far end of the table.
4. Z coordinate of invalid points was set to *NaN* instead of 0.

Merging object parts
--------------------

We foresee that like the original dataset, this modified version may be used to
evaluate model-based segmentation methods that are supposed to connect disjoint
parts of the same objects. Therefore, we devised the following label assignment
scheme.

- Label 0: all infinite (*NaN*) points
- Labels 1 to 9: (parts of) the supporting table
- Labels 20 to 29: (parts of) the 1st object
- Labels 30 to 39: (parts of) the 2nd object
- ...

This scheme allows one to obtain new per-object labels by simply changing labels
2–9 to 1, and dividing remaining labels by 10. Indeed, label 0 stays the same,
the parts of the table get label 1, and objects get labels starting from 2.

We provide a script `merge_object_parts.sh` to perform the described relabeling.
The script requires the tool `pcl_convert_pcd_ascii_binary` (distributed as a
part of the Point Cloud Library) to be present in the path.

It's also been interpreted in myriad ways. But by reading it closely and examining Joseph's interactions with others, we can come to understand him more fully. We will also explore the range of interpretations of the Joseph story – by the rabbis and the Apocrypha, as well as by Christians and Muslims. This course is a continuation of our exploration of the Joseph story, but new participants are welcome! http://www.cityguideny.com/eventinfo.cfm?id=358435 Museum at Eldridge Street Museum at Eldridge Street

About Bart

Safety Sense
Why BART? What does BART means?
BART stands for Business Aviation Real Tool. Our strategy is to promote and support excellence and professionalism among our readers and work diligently to build recognition for Business Aviation as an essential sector of Air Transportation, serving the Economy and Society. Strategically based in the heart of Europe and with offices in the United States, BART International deserves its title of "Europe's Premier Transatlantic Business Aviation Magazine". Only BART has its focal point on the established markets of both Europe and North America, giving the reader an in-depth coverage of the latest news update and report from and to both sides of the Atlantic.
For more than twenty five years BART International has been a showcase for Business Aviation presented in our pages and on our digital media has a valuable business tool providing a unique and particularly important form of transportation. The magazine grew for 28 years from very tentative beginnings when Europe with a fleet of 1,500 Business Aircraft was coming a long way behind the U.S.A. The European fleet has now more than doubled while BART International became a major force in the transatlantic Business Aviation community.
We could not have achieved that result without the confidence that the industry placed in our publication. Yes we would like you to look at the evolution of the magazine thanks to the buoyancy of major advertisers. But more importantly, we want you to know how we got to where we are – by placing the needs of our advertisers first, then working hard to meet those needs. Pure and simple, we get the job done.
Isn't that what you hire your ADVERTISING SUPPORT for?
