1. Nucleic acid diagnostic testing for fungal infections
Human fungal infections have emerged as one of the most pressing health problems in recent years. Endemic infections affect healthy immunocompetent individuals causing a range of diseases which generally resolve with chemotherapy but hospital-acquired nosocomial infections pose a serious threat to immunocompromised patients in hospital wards and intensive care units worldwide. Despite the availability of chemotherapy nosocomial infections frequently result in high mortality rates, often exceeding 50%. The development of timely and more efficient molecular diagnostic methods, along with the development of new drugs and anti-fungal vaccines, was recently identified as one of the most pressing needs in medical mycology research.
We are interested in developing and implementing simple nucleic acids diagnostic tests for a range of fungal infections, including both endemic and opportunistic. We use Candida, the causative agent of endemic and nosocomial candidosis, as a test organism. Combining fungal genome data mining with isothermal DNA amplification, we aim to develop simple diagnostic tools that are both amenable to automation and applicable at the point of care.

2. Lipid signalling and its role in Giardia intestinalis differentiation
Giardia is an intestinal parasite of humans that causes diarrhoeal disease. One of the most important aspects of the biology of this parasite is its cyclical developmental transformation between an environmentally resistant infective cyst and a gut colonising trophozoite. Although much is known about the transitional steps of encystation at the cellular level the molecular circuitry that regulates this process remains obscure. The physiological conditions required for the completion of the Giardia life cycle have been replicated in the laboratory, making this organism a simple eukaryotic model for the study of cell differentiation. Conditions of high bile lipid concentration or cholesterol starvation induce the formation of cysts in culture suggesting that lipids and lipid signalling may play a role in Giardia differentiation.
We have reported the existence of two giardial genes encoding phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) homologues, genes likely to play a role in lipid signalling. Expression and inhibition studies suggested that giardial PI3K signalling controls both extracellularly-initiated signalling events and intracellular vesicular protein sorting, processes. In addition, gene homologues encoding putative PPIn-metabolising enzymes and PPIn-binding proteins that may act as effectors downstream of PI3K were also identified in the Giardia genome, further documenting the existence of PI3K signalling networks in this organism. Using biochemical and molecular biological methods we are currently investigating how the early stages of encystation are regulated in this intestinal parasite.
3. Mitochondrial function in the amitochondrial human pathogens Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia intestinalis
Mitochondrial acquisition is regarded as one of the most significant events in the evolution of the eukaryotic lineage. Given the relevance of the mitochondrion in the biology and evolution of extant eukaryotes, we are investigating the role and evolution of mitochondrial function in organisms that once harboured the organelle but have since lost many mitochondrial functions secondarily. We are particularly interested in two such organisms, Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia intestinalis, because of their high impact on human health and their socio-economic importance.
We have reported the existence of relict mitochondrial organelles - generically known as mitosomes - in Giardia and Entamoeba. We use ultra-structural studies and characterisation of their enzymatic and structural components using biochemical, gene cloning, and immunodetection methodologies to advance our understanding of the evolution of relict mitochondrial organelles in amitochondriate organisms.

What happens to be Entrepreneurship? When we say of entrepreneurship, what immediately comes to mind perhaps may be businessmen, along with small dimensions enterprise or businesses. Actually, the meaning of entrepreneurship varies depending on this particular perspective pre-owned. It may be a nice field located in business to it might just be an activity while in which those engage at. Describing generally processes involved within thought defines entrepreneurship will be. Understanding and additionally seeking innovations, like improving an existing product line, is an individual of most of the processes for entrepreneurship. But yet is less than merely innovating, this endeavor should possibly be taken a great step alot more for it to constitute considered as part in entrepreneurship.
The task further would undoubtedly be in transform a new innovation into economic goods, something whom will get paid american income life. For entrepreneurship, a substantial individual aka a group of people today identify a business circumstance by acquiring a prospective or worthw hile item, product or opportunity or activity that might be gathered for market and disk drive sustainable earn. When any market price generated to the business opportunity or even innovation is greater than the advantages of the entire value concerning the grouping of equipment used so that it will create this opportunity or just innovation, then there is profit. Profit occurs when the prize of which the resources being used to leave a product or opportunity is increased through concept.
The definition of entrepreneurship lies in a single but a lot of important concept: discovery. Without having having discovery as well as , arias agencies pittsburgh agencies king of prussia – michaelkorsoutletonlinesale.us.org – innovation, there will nevertheless be a stagnation in each market monetary climate as there will be very no maintenance. Entrepreneurship paves way at economic growth, as things supports monetary growth coming from its discoveries and innovation. Through entrepreneurship, new and consequently better things, processes systems have become created, regenerated and empty. The writing or invention does not just need – be out of the way to novel product strains or established product lines. It can also wind up applied to methods of most production, market, resources , an neatness or even an industry. Entrepreneurship may provide products and services for money stability so it perpetually seeks enhancement and invention of personal resources to assist you to give any of them a more suitable value.

Throughout the wedding planning process most of the focus is on the dress, the menu, the flowers, the reception venue, the cake, and the honeymoon. While these are exciting and important parts of getting married, there is less focus on who marries the couple, which is a very significant part of the ceremony and should be carefully considered. A majority of couples know who will officiate their wedding before they even inquire, because the bride or groom has a family minister, pasture, or priest who they have known for many years. In this case, it's only a matter of availability, but not every couple fits this scenario.
Initially, the couple will decide if they desire a religious or secular ceremony. This decision will determine largely who and where they can marry. The location is typically not a limiting factor; however, some catholic priests will not marry couples outside the location of their church, so that needs to be considered if the couple desires an outdoor or destination wedding. It is becoming more common that modern wedding officiants will perform both secular or religious ceremonies, and each to any varying degree of content. While these services are becoming more popular, they are still not overly common and much more rare when outside large cities.
Depending upon who is performing the ceremony cost can vary, but the officiant service is not one of the more costly components of a wedding. A simple civil ceremony typically ranges from $50 to $100. The average cost of a minister or priest is around $250. When a professional officiant is sought, they price increases and it usually depends upon the time investment of the officiant. Most professional officiants offer a range of packages, from a simple economy package to a detailed, intimate, and more costly package. The more expensive the package, the more time the officiant will spend on meeting with the couple, preparing the ceremony, and traveling to the wedding, which also involves the rehearsal and dinner. Professional officiants typically range from $150 to $500. They will offer the couple suggestions on wording, vows and readings, and, of course, they are responsible for mailing the marriage license to the county courthouse to be recorded, thus making the marriage legally binding.
While not part of the frills and glamour of a wedding day, the offciant is crucial for successful and special ceremony. The ceremony that the officiant delivers is truly the heart of the event that the bride and groom will always remember. So ensure that the wedding officiant is carefully selected to represent the couple's relationship to their family and friends and, most importantly, to each other.

Editorial: Don't be too quick to sink regional water deal
It is unfair for Braintree and Randolph to expect a town they dwarf in size to pick up an equal share of the cost of building a water treatment facility that will serve all three communities.
It was equally unjustifiable, however, for Holbrook to slam the door shut on the possibility of resolving its disagreements with the Tri-Town Water District.
Holbrook announced Friday that it is pulling out of the regional water district on grounds that the water board expected it to pay a third of the cost for a new $50 million treatment plant.
Holbrook, with a population of about 11,000, uses about 11 percent of Tri-Town water, while Randolph uses 37 percent and Braintree uses 52 percent.
After a year of negotiation, Holbrook Selectmen Chairman Robert A. Powilatis told Braintree Mayor Joseph C. Sullivan and the Tri-Town board that the town is no longer interested in their long-standing joint venture.
"It makes no sense to continue arguing about ... cost-sharing since Braintree wants Holbrook to subsidize its greater consumption," he said.
Holbrook has identified Avon as a potential water system partner and is also exploring the possibility of getting water through the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority or Aquaria, the owner of a Dighton desalination plant that provides drinking water for several area communities.
The town is completely justified in exploring water options that could save it money, but all of those being considered present their own challenges and could end up costing it more in the long run.
Avon Selectmen Chairman Francis A. Hegarty said last week that a new water district would be feasible but would involve many engineering, legal and financial issues.
Creating such an alliance is certainly worth consideration, but, given the many unknowns involved, it would seem to be in the town's best interest to continue discussions with the Tri-Town Water Board, even if a year of talks has failed to resolve differences.
Powilatis has said that Braintree had no intention of compromising on how the cost of a new plant is divided, claiming the strategy was to string Holbrook along until it was too late to bail out.
Sullivan, who represents Braintree on the board, this week said that's not true and that, as long as Holbrook is willing to negotiate in good faith, there is flexibility on the issue of cost sharing.
"There's always room for discussion," he said.
This whole process appears to have been muddied in the past year by inflammatory rhetoric, inconsistent stances and defensive posturing, making it difficult for those involved to focus on the fact that a negotiated compromise may be in the best interests of all involved.
Calmer voices should counsel leaders on both sides to put past differences aside and come back to the table.

One of the most important exhibitions on VR science and technology in the world, is the WCVRI (World Conference on VR Industry, Nanchang, China). Last fall it attracted hundreds of exhibiting technology companies from around the globe. Spiideo, being a leader in Sports Video Recording and Smart Data Analysis System for sports, was invited to attend and present our approach to enabling sports performance development with VR and AR.
Spiideo has one of the most advanced core technologies in the world for sport recording and live data analysis of tactics and skills. Serving as a testament to the potential of Spiideo's technology is its long list of clients which include many sports clubs, teams and professional leagues such as Premier League, Serie A, MLS etc.
At WCVRI Spiideo showcased some of the huge opportunities that arise when seamlessly combining sports data and video. During a couple of intense show days, sports executives, media and also conference chairman Mr. Houng, took the opportunity to visit the Spiideo booth and first hand experience how effectively Spiideo's sports video recording and analysis system can enhance an athletes performance.
Spiideo is always pushing to advance the latest in sports technology and VR/AR are great examples of how emerging technologies truly can change how to deal with the massive amount of data that is generated before, during and after games. The challenge has been that large amounts of data alone is difficult to make sense of, take decisions and act on – but with AR one can allow subtle exposure of live data and insights to enhance and not disturb e.g. a coaching experience.

ENTREVESTOR: U.S. firm acquires Marcato Digital of Sydney
SaltWire Network | Posted: Oct. 15, 2018, 6:04 p.m. | Updated: Oct. 15, 2018, 6:04 p.m. | 3 Min Read
Marcato Digital Solutions, the Sydney company that provides administrative software for music festivals, has been acquired by Pittsburgh-based Patron Technology for an undisclosed sum.
Patron, which announced the acquisition in a press release Monday, provides customer-facing software such as ticketing, marketing and fan engagement, to entertainment clients and others. The company will offer a broader range of products to clients now because Marcato specializes in back-office functionality — credentialing, artist advancing, asset management and catering.
"Adding the layer of event logistics and operations to Patron Technology brings the full life-cycle of your event into one integrated product offering," said Patron CEO Marc Jenkins in a statement. "Patron Technology isn't just about the consumer-facing side of events; we are now helping event organizers behind-the-scenes as well."
The buyer intends to retain and grow most of Marcato's 13-member team in Sydney, and extend its markets beyond music festivals.
"It's certainly a great accomplishment," Marcato co-founder and CEO Darren Gallop said in an interview. "Building the company and getting to the point where we're working with Coachella and Just for Laughs and groups like that was an accomplishment. I guess this is the final accomplishment with this business."
Having just celebrated its 10th anniversary, Marcato provides admin tools for festivals, which have grown in number and size around the world and involve complex operational demands. The company now caters to 300 events including some of the biggest music festivals in the world, and it has said that growing number of these festivals make for plenty of room to grow.
"By joining Patron Technology, we can expand our reach and offer the product our clients love to even more organizers, while maintaining Marcato's superior level of support," said Marcato chief administrative officer Alison Giovannetti in the statement.
Patron spokeswoman Sarah Lang said in an interview the company now sells its software mainly to the entertainment industry, but its clients include everything from comic conventions to high school reunions. Founded in 2010, Patron raised US$2.5 million from angel investors in 2012 and in July 2017 sold a majority stake to private equity firm Providence Strategic Growth for an undisclosed sum.
One person who will not join the Patron team is Gallop, though he stressed the relations are cordial. For the past two years, he has been focusing more on a new company, Securicy, which helps SMEs meet the cybersecurity standards demanded by large customers. Gallop said he will now be able to focus full-time on Securicy, and the exit will help him to raise capital for the younger company because he can prove he's had a successful exit.
It appears that the all the money being paid for Marcato will stay in Nova Scotia. The company's only venture capital investor was Innovacorp, which invested $970,000, and other backers are friends and family of co-founders Gallop and Morgan Currie. Innovacorp's portfolio has now logged four exits in two years, as its portfolio companies Analyze Re, WoodsCamp and Kivuto also found buyers since October 2016.
The sale is a big win for the ITC community in Sydney, which is often overlooked as one of the main tech centres in the region. The Innovacorp portfolio has had five exits in its history and two of them — Marcato and GoInstant — began in Sydney.
Reflecting on what the exit means to him personally, Gallop said: "For me it's almost like you've landed the plane. As long as the plane is in the air there are things that could go wrong, so it's nice to finally get it on the ground."
Disclosure: Innovacorp is a client of Entrevestor.
Peter Moreira is a principal of Entrevestor, a news and data site for Atlantic Canadian startups.

Home Advices How to wear temporary tattoos this summer?
At the end of last year was hinted the tendency which will rule the beach stylistics this year.
The temporary tattoos – jewelry is characterized by brilliant vision and appear exactly this perfect finish that we are lacking to the swimsuit.
Since all topical tendencies start from the biggest names in the fashion, Dior set a high batten with their proposals in genuine 24 carat gold.
Of course, already on the market are almost the same models that give the desired effect.
Due to the rapid development of this stylistics and the proliferation of the tattoos – jewelry as accessories, we present the way in which to wear them this year.

Sometimes, One Little Phone Can Have a Big Impact on the Economy
By Sudeep Reddy
Updated Sept. 11, 2012 3:11 am ET
The next iPhone, which Apple Inc. AAPL -1.37% plans to unveil this week, could do something the White House, Congress and Federal Reserve have struggled to do: boost the U.S. economy.
The iPhone 5, which Apple plans to release this week, could get credit for something Congress, the White House and Federal Reserve have struggled to do: boost the U.S. economy in a measurable way. Sudeep Reddy explains on The News Hub.
Sales of the new iPhone could add between a quarter and a half of a percentage point to the annualized rate of economic growth in the fourth quarter, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli estimates. That could help cushion the sluggish U.S. economy from other risks in the final months of the year.
In a note to clients Monday, titled "Can one little phone impact GDP?," Mr. Feroli walks through the math: J.P. Morgan's equity analysts expect Apple to sell about eight million new iPhone units in the final three months of 2012.
If the phone sells for around $600, with about $200 of it counted as imported components, then $400 per phone would add to the government's measure of gross domestic product, the total value of the economy's output.
Even though consumers may not pay that much for the phone, because of subsidies from wireless carriers, Mr. Feroli explains that companies often report phone sales based on the price of the stand-alone product.
The bottom line: The new iPhone sales could boost GDP by $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter, or $12.8 billion at an annual rate. That is an increase of 0.33 percentage point in the annualized rate of GDP growth. It could be even higher, he says. Even a third of a percentage point would limit the risk the economy would grow more slowly than J.P. Morgan's fourth-quarter growth projection of 2%.
Mr. Feroli warns that the estimate "seems fairly large, and for that reason should be treated skeptically" but adds: "We think the recent evidence is consistent with this projection."
One clue: When the iPhone 4S became widely available last October, he writes, over half of the 0.8% increase in the nation's so-called core retail sales—which exclude autos, gasoline and building materials—came in the categories of online sales and computer and software sales. The two categories together had their largest monthly increase on record.
He estimates the sales growth was due to the iPhone, which boosted overall GDP growth by a fifth to a 10th of a percentage point. The new iPhone launch will be even bigger than that, he says, making the latest estimate "reasonable."
In the final three months of last year, the U.S. economy expanded rapidly at a 4.1% annual rate, and then slowed sharply to a 2% pace in the first quarter of this year, and 1.7% in the second quarter.
Many analysts have recently lowered their forecasts for economic growth in the second half of the year for reasons including the drought, higher oil prices and uncertainty about U.S. budget policies. Last week, the forecasting firm Macroeconomic Advisers shaved its forecasts for economic growth to a 1.5% annual rate in the third-quarter and 1.4% in the fourth quarter, both down seven-tenths of a percentage point, largely due to the effect of the drought on farm output.

The African Development Bank counts Botswana among a growing number of African countries that have sought to diversify their economies and promote industrial development in recent years.
"A small number already have advanced manufacturing sectors, including Algeria, Botswana, Gabon, Mauritius, Namibia and South Africa," it says in its Africa Industrialisation Index 2022 report.
The Index's scores range from 0 (worst) to 1 (best), and countries are ranked from the best to the worst score The 2022 edition shows that 25 of 52 countries stand above the average imputed for the entire continent. Botswana scored 0.5587 while South Africa scored 0.8404. Part of Botswana's impressive score is a direct result of being neighbours with South Africa. Generally, Southern Africa is dominated by high levels of industrial development in South Africa, which is the top-performing country in this year's Index. The report says that while this creates an imbalance in the region, leading to high rates of labour migration, it also helps to drive industrial development across the sub-region through trade and integrated production in regional value chains.
"South Africa is the most important trading partner for its regional neighbours. The region also has well developed value chains for equipment and services related to mining, benefitting the mineral-rich countries (Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique). SADC has also been playing an important role in facilitating regional industrialization."
The Bank analysis is that Botswana's industry sector played a crucial role in the high recovery rates of the national economy following Covid-19. At 12.5 percent, Botswana's recovery rate was the strongest in the SADC region. In its economic outlook for the region, the Bank says that recovery is anticipated to be even stronger for Mauritius, Madagascar, and Botswana, relative to other countries in the region.
"The service sector is expected to recover faster than the industrial sector and outperform agriculture. These projections are based on the dominance of non-lethal COVID-19 variants. The conflict in Ukraine is expected to introduce a surge in the inflation rate for non-oil exporting countries, therefore Angola as the only oil-producing country in the region, is set to benefit from rising oil prices," the Bank says.
Angola and Botswana are the only countries in the region with a persistent positive current account balance. As regards Botswana, the Bank says that the country has been expanding its international complexity through entering new markets and diversifying its export composition. On the downside, Botswana's agriculture is expected to suffer because of "modest downward trends" in rainfall. As Namibia, Botswana's level of electricity access is "at odds with the per capita income." Some 70.2 percent of the population has access to electricity.

Nuwave Oven Elite Vs Pro - What to pick?
Are you currently trying to live healthier and cook healthier? People often try grilling or baking or roasting their food to used less oils and fats. When the food is grilled or roast, the fat inside the meat will melt and resulting in a healthier food for you and your family. If you are interested in cooking healthier food and at the same time reducing the cooking preparation time, then you should read this article. We will introduce you to two of cooking appliance which can help you achieve your goal. They are NuWave Oven Elite and NuWave Oven Pro.
NuwaveOven Elite is and countertop oven. This cooking appliance have many usage, it claims being an impressive wide range of efficient cooking methods. It combined infrared, conduction and convection oven cooking. This countertop oven will cook the food evenly inside out. You can use this oven to air-fry, bake, barbecue, broil, dehydrate, grill, roast, sear, steam, and sou-vide cook.
Taken from nuwaveelite, the NuWave Elite has 12" diameter x 14" height, it is big enough to roast a chicken or small turkey. When cooking using this countertop oven, you actually speed up your cooking up to 70% faster than your conventional way preparing it. It saves a lot of time commitment of making meal. Because it is faster of course the energy used is significantly lower, so you not only saves time but also saves energy, and making your electricity bill less burdening.
This countertop oven is designed to be easy to use. The NuWave Elite is practically easy to understand, for you who overwhelmed by the long row of buttons and dials placed on conventional oven. The buttons on this oven is pretty convenient and was located compactly at the top of the appliance. You will control the temperature in one degree increments from 100 degrees to 420 degrees Fahrenheit, using a simple number pad.
The NuWave Elite also have a unique Power Head and have a programming feature that will allow you to program your favorite recipes into its memory, it able to memorize up to 100 recipes. The design is also simple so you can reach it easily. The NuWave Elite designed to allow circulation that will result in quick and even cooking.
However the NuWave Elite also has some cons, which are it will consume slightly of your cooking space, the advance features in NuWave Elite make this appliance pricier than convection ovens. And the last is that the company warranty only cover the electrical components.
Read also : Philips Air Fryer Vs NuWave.
NuWave Pro is a kitchen appliance that uses a new different method of cooking, it utilize three different system simultaneously, which are infrared, conduction, and convection. The infrared is the main heating elements in this kitchen appliance. Infrared is an invisible form of heat. By using this, the heat can penetrates through food to cook the inside, while at the same time browning the outside.
The second is convection, this method is the same with how convection oven works. The way convection works is by circulating hot air inside the cooking chamber. In NuWave Pro especially the motor is pretty quiet so you don't have to worry it will disturb you. The last is conduction, this heat is similar to pan frying, where the food is in direct contact with something hot, in NuWave Pro the food is placed on a grill or a dish.
The selling point of this kitchen appliance are it can save time, it able to cook from frozen, it is a healthier cooking method, no preheating needed, easy to clean, and it also able to roast, broil, grill barbecue, bake, steam, dehydrate, and air fry. The NuWave Pro can cook food in a shorter time compare to convection oven, you also can cook from frozen using this oven. No need to defrost the meat in microwave first. It can create a great taste, the food cooked using NuWave Pro turn out nicely browned and really juicy and tender. It also healthier, because the fat will melt when heat up and end up in the tray at the bottom, so you won't end up consuming it.
The last is because it can cook food faster, at the same time you will also use less energy, so will end up with lesser electricity bill. However the NuWave Pro also has some cons, such as the cooking times listed in the instruction are not accurate, the appliance doesn't cook as fast as it claims, the dome is made out of plastic, and you will need to replace it at some point, it also do not perform very good in baking.
When comparing both of them the most prominent different between NuWave Elite and NuWave Pro is the ability to cook 1-degree increments between 100 and 420 degrees Fahrenheit. Moreover the NuWave Elite is also able to memorize your favorite recipe settings up to 100 recipes. In our opinion if you don't mind on spending more money, we recommend you to choose the NuWave Countertop Elite Dome Oven.

When we look from the see to the new proposal of the Pireaus tower This proposal will connect the tower with the see, the nearby and the city of Athens.
This will happen in the daytime by the new various dynamic programme of the tower and at the night by means of interactive light architecture which response and exhibited on the façade the city life of Athens.
On the ground floor, first floor en second floor will be suited program such as theatre/cinema, restaurant /café and hotel lobby with congress rooms. This will give a vivid happening at daytime and also at the late hours.
To make this new program successful we will plan also more parking facilities . The success of international landmarks are measured by means of visibility of far, the opportunity of frequent accessible by public traffic and accessible with private car. On the upper floors we planed hotel rooms and office spaces for national and international companies.
This is a benefit to attract international companies because they have the stay over facilities for their employees and guests. If these rooms are not used by the companies than they can be changed to office spaces or be used by an other hotel owner.
We have the experience that rooms and offices of different sizes work the best to give an answer for the national and international dynamics. This system will stay flexible and is easy to change to the demands of the users and the owners.
The interactive light architecture which response and exhibited on the façade the city life of Athene is also a metaphor as a light beacon for the harbour this is an reference of the ancient Greek see travel.
When the ships enter the harbour of Pireaus the people of the ships will be welcomed at the daytime by a green and sustainable landmark with a diagonal cut through of the building with a reference to Acropolis and to …………. as known for the visitors and inhabitants of Athens.

Chest Pain (CP) is a very common complaint seen in emergency departments around the world. In the US specifically anywhere from 8 – 10 million patients present to the ED complaining of CP. Many use liberal testing strategies to prevent missing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or other major adverse cardiac events (MACE), but this is not without increase in healthcare cost and false positive testing leading to more downstream testing. In recent years there have been several diagnostic protocols developed to help determine a portion of these patients as low risk to facilitate early discharge, prevent this over testing, while still having a >99% NPV for MACE at 30 days.
Disclaimer: To be clear, this is the way I manage low risk chest pain and certainly there is more than one way, but I think at the current time in the US, this is the best we have. Also, at the time of this post being written, we DO NOT have high sensitivity troponins in the US.
What does twitter say is an acceptable miss rate for MACE (Myocardial Infarction, CABG, Heart Catheterization, and/or Death)?
TIMI was not derived for an undifferentiated chest pain population in an ED setting. Instead it was derived for patients who were already high risk to see if they would benefit from early invasive therapies. Using TIMI to determine low risk CP is like using a hammer to put a screw in. It is a tool, but this is not what the tool was intended for.
TIMI is binary. In other words it is yes or no. Did you take aspirin the last 7 days…yes or no? Thats an easy one. What about did you have recent (≤24hrs) severe angina…yes or no? This is such a subjective component of the TIMI Score and if you have ever taken care of a patient with CP you know that the story is not always black and white. Sometimes it is grey, but TIMI forces you to say yes or no.
TIMI = 0. All of the accelerated diagnostic protocols (ADPs) evaluated a TIMI score of 0 to achieve a >99% NPV for MACE.
Issue Number One: None of these trials were done in the US and therefore not a US population.
What about TIMI vs HEART Score to determine low risk patients?
Positive Troponin: It is possible to have an elevated troponin level and have everything else be negative on the HEART Score. Technically, this would still be a low risk HEART Score, but a positive troponin in my mind is not low risk.
Risk Factors: If a patient doesn't go to the doctor then patient won't have medical problems. This is an issue with both the TIMI and HEART Scores. The patient will say they don't have medical problems when in fact they do, this will falsely lower your risk stratification score and this should be taken with a grain of salt in evaluation of patients.
So minus the above caveats, how good is a HEART Score of 0 – 3 at predicting 30 – 45 day MACE?
*Addendum (02/19/2016): Since writing the original blog post, I received a very nice email from one of the original creators of the HEART Score, Barbra Backus. She had some issues with the Marcoon and Jellema papers that I think are very reasonable and also mentioned a new publication of the HEART Score just published (Sun et al 2016).
*Addendum (08/15/2018): Received an email from Ben Mati, MD at Ventura County Medical Center was working on his grand rounds talk on low risk chest pain and added a few more studies to make this table more current.
Jellema 2013: The results of the entire population of HEART Score 0 – 3 were not included in this manuscript making it hard to know what the exact MACE rate was in this population. There was a subcohort of patients that were admitted to the hospital, for a second troponin test, that were included. Using this population creates a huge selection bias in that although these patients were HEART Scores of 0 – 3, they were admitted because they were thought to be higher risk.
Combining these two issues, you can see patients who were scored as low risk HEART scores, may not in fact have been low risk.
Sun 2016: This was just published and adds another >8,000 patients to our external validation of the HEART Score .
Can We do Better than 1.6% MACE?
I think we can. Mahler et al have published 2 external validation studies of the HEART Score in the US using a HEART Score of 0 – 3 + contemporary troponin at 0 and 3 hrs.
*Addendum 08/15/2018: Received an email from Ben Mati, MD at Ventura County Medical Center was working on his grand rounds talk on low risk chest pain and added a few more studies to make this table more current. The Oliver et al study did not have the number of patients with HEART Score ≤3, but Ben emailed the lead author and found out the number was 255.
Is there anything more we can do to decrease this risk?
Discharge you home to follow up with your primary care doctor in the next 30 days for further evaluation of your chest pain?
If you don't have a primary care doctor I can get you an appointment in one of our clinics in the next 30 days to further evaluate this chest pain.
I then document whatever conversation and decision is made in the patient chart.
Rob Orman on ERCast: Which Chest Pain Patients can be Discharged?
Cite this article as: Salim Rezaie, "Management and Disposition of Low Risk Chest Pain", REBEL EM blog, February 18, 2016. Available at: https://rebelem.com/management-and-disposition-of-low-risk-chest-pain/.
Why not discharge them on low dose aspirin pending further testing or cardiopod consult ?
If patient is low risk for ACS, not sure what adding low dose ASA would do for them. Certainly you could discharge them with low dose ASA and no one would fault you for it.
Well , sure, but depends on what we call low risk .
It seems low risk (Gestalt low risk) is not the same in the US than here in Europe.
If the patient is not suspected having coronary pain he does not even need cardiology follow up . These do not need aspirin either. We see many of these.
When I have them see a cardiologist for follow up because they have a remote possibility of a coronary disease, yet their ECGs and troponins are negative (us Troponins here, but that was the same with classic troponins) I usually give ASA until stress test or cardiologist on an outpatient basis.
You rely on hs troponin; I work in Italy, where less than 20% of Italian EDs have hs troponins. What would be your approach in that case?
Actually in the US we still don't have the hsTn assays yet….we are still using the contemporary Tn assays and I am still using a 3hr Tn strategy. At arrival and 3hrs later. Appreciate your support.
Great post! Can you please share the two Mahler citations that you reference above that demonstrate a MACE of <1%. Thanks!
I regularly read your website and appreciate your thoughtful insight and review of some of the biggest topics in EM!
I wanted to ask what you thought of the below article and how it adds to the conversation you had with Cam Berg and using TIMI vs HEART pathway in the ED. I understand your point both get toward the same endpoint, but it seems as if HEART is a better method @ least in the ED.
Comparison of the GRACE, HEART and TIMI score to predict major adverse cardiac events in chest pain patients at the emergency department.
Poldervaart JM1, Langedijk M2, Backus BE3, Dekker IMC4, Six AJ5, Doevendans PA6, Hoes AW7, Reitsma JB7.
Apologies for my delay in responding to your comment. I have felt the HEART score to be superior to TIMI for undifferentiated CP patients in the ED for some time now. The study you are referring to, just further supports that.

Are you trying to find out exactly what the Shakeology ingredients are? If so, you are in the right place. In this post I'm going to give you the break down on the Shakeology ingredients for each of the three flavors. Shakeology contains over 70 high quality, super food ingredients that have been proven to do wonders for your body and overall health.
Shakeology is high in protein, but it is much more than just a "protein shake". Chocolate contains 18 grams of protein, Tropical and Greenberry both contains 15 grams protein. The protein and amino acids found in the Shakeology ingredients are beneficial in many ways. It helps repair and build muscles, reduces hunger and cravings, keeps blood sugar levels steady, supports brain functions to help promote alert thinking and reduce anxiety, and also produces healthy skin, hair, and nails.
Shakeology ingredients include prebiotics and digestive enzymes that are great for the digestive system. Prebiotics are natural components of certain plants, they help support the "good" bacteria in the body's digestive system. Digestive enzymes, which come from plant sources such as pineapples and papayas, help the body break food down which makes the nutrients easier to absorb.
Shakeology ingredients also contain antioxidants and phytonutrients. These substances have antioxidant properties, meaning they help get rid of molecules known as free radicals, which damage cells and said to be a key component of the aging process. In laboratory tests, phytonutrients have shown promise in helping prevent a wide variety of degenerative conditions. What's more, studies suggest that the natural mix of phytochemicals you get from whole-plant sources, which is how they are used in Shakeology, is more effective than taking them individually as nutritional supplements.
Shakeology also contain 23 vitamins and minerals. Most people do not get the essential vitamins and minerals needed from their daily diets. Some important vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, are water-soluble, meaning they're flushed out of your body after a short time and need to be replenished often. Others, like vitamin E, can be hard to get enough of in food alone. Shakeology provides all of these nutrients in an easy-to-take, easily absorbable form, so you never have to worry if you are getting the vitamins you need. If you are drinking Shakeology on a daily basis, you know you be getting the nutrition that you need.
In the video below, the creator of Shakeology, Darin Olien shows how he travels thew world in search of the super food Shakeology ingredients. Ingredients like sacha inchi, maca root, and cacao.


Get outside and enjoy the final few weeks of warm weather with these must haves.
With the hottest days of summer behind us (hopefully) we've reached one of the best times of year to camp. But what to bring? Well, the best part about car camping is there's plenty of space to pack some comforts of home—though don't go overboard and bring the La-Z-Boy. Then again, you don't want to forget the essentials either. To point you in the right direction, we recently spent a few days in the wilds of Colorado testing gear. Read on to see our top nine picks.
Setting up camp can be hard work—especially at elevation—so having a comfortable seat is a must. Our choice while on location was the classic, lightweight, foldable Best Made Camp Stool. With tents pitched at close to 13,500ft, the camp stool offered the perfect place to catch our breath and curb dizzy spells. Plus, it's extremely portable, making running from smoke while seated around the campfire quick and easy.
At the top of every list for campers arriving on four wheels has to be a sturdy cooler. And few names ring more true in the world of coolers than Coleman. We went with the retro styled Steel Belted Cooler in classic green. The metal case increases durability and offers an easy to clean surface for everything from playing cards to cleaning a fish.
Fishing and camping go hand in hand. There's no doubt about it. While bait fishing may increase your luck of securing dinner, learning to properly cast a fly rod comes with bragging rights that extend far beyond mealtime. Pacific Northwest-based Redington has a range of portable setups that are perfect for camping. We tested both the Topo starter kit and more performance-focused Voyant kit, and both passed with flying colors (we even caught a nice rainbow). And please remember, when referencing fly fishing, it's a rod, not a pole.
Again, Coleman is a trusted name in the camp stove space. Sure BioLite and brands of the like offer significantly less cumbersome options, but need we remind you the best part of car camping is the fact that you don't have to pack light? The aptly named Camp Propane Grill/Stove+ did the trick for us. Don't forget to wedge some rocks under the feet to ensure a level cooking surface.
Though an American outback staple, few cast iron foundries still exist in the U.S. Lodge is one brand still making their seasoned skillets stateside, and has been since 1896, which is reason enough to trust their products. The 10.25" is as universal a kitchen tool as can be. Pro tip: Use soap only if needed during cleaning, and remember to dry immediately after washing and rub with natural oils to encourage proper seasoning.
As the only barrier between you and the elements when camping, the tent should be carefully considered—meaning well-designed, easy to set up and break down, and big enough to house some gear, too. MSR's Elixir 3 Tent is designed for backpacking, but perfect for automotive camping as well—it's simply lighter and better designed. Though technically a three person tent, we recommend sticking to two residents, plus a duffle bag or two. No one wants to put on cold jeans and dew-covered boots in the morning.
Finding a balanced temperature at night can be the difference between a night of tossing and turning and a restful eight hours. A sleeping bag rated to 30 degrees sounds great (and it is in the fall and winter) but will cause nothing but issues when camping in warm weather. Try a bag like Marmot's Never Winter—designed for summer, though a bit of down insulation extends its reach into late spring and early fall too. Plus the Down Defender offers a bit of protection from wet environments, leaving you free to sleep under the stars without worrying about morning dew ruining your down bag. A quality, all season air mattress will surely help too.
Sit too close to the campfire and you'll melt the soles of your shoes. Sit too far away and you won't reap any of the warmth. And with most of the West engulfed in wildfires this summer, many areas have implemented burn bans. A simple, wool blanket is a fine alternative. Woolrich has been making heirloom quality wool blankets in Pennsylvania since 1830, and their Appalachian Trail Jacquard Blanket is as warm as it is handsome.
As we move into fall the sun will be setting earlier each day, meaning you may find yourself in the dark well before bed time. A simple solution is a lantern. Forget the kerosene lamps your parents may have used, and pick up a USB chargeable option like Goal Zero's Lighthouse 250 Lantern. At just over one pound, this compact light delivers plenty of power (250 lumens), can charge your phone with a standard USB cord, and even has a built in hand crank and emergency light for unfavorable situations.


AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Out-of-state vineyards and producers will be allowed to ship wine to Maine homes if a bill that's won a House endorsement is enacted by the Legislature.
The House of Representatives on Thursday gave initial approval to Rep. Melissa Walsh Innes' bill by a 107-39 vote.
The Yarmouth Democrat's bill would allow Maine consumers to order wine from in-state and out-of-state vineyards, provided the vineyard has a license to do business with Maine residents.
Wine shipped to consumers would have to be conspicuously labeled, and could not be delivered without a valid photo ID that proves the consumer is over 21 years of age. The bill would also allow Maine wineries to export wine to consumers who live out-of-state.

story 20.07.2019
Gold Award holder Elle – who explains what the DofE's all about in our welcome films – talks about her experience taking on all three Award levels.
Lifeguard. Teacher. Hiker. For 21-year-old Elle McLoughlin from Cheshire, the DofE was a series of unforgettable experiences. The latest one? Featuring in a promotional film for the charity.
Now at university, Bronze, Silver and Gold Award holder Elle was introduced to the DofE by one of her teachers in Year 10. She is keen to encourage more young people to take part in the DofE and gain skills for life and work.
Extra push
For the Physical section of her programme, Elle improved her rowing skills.
"I spent a lot more time rowing because I set goals for my DofE," she explains. "I videoed my coaching sessions and tracked all my achievements in eDofE."
She was also active for the Skills section of her Gold Award.
"I trained as a lifeguard at my local swimming pool at the weekends while I was doing my A Levels. I'd wanted to be a lifeguard anyway – the DofE was the extra push I needed."
Although she describes herself as "not typically outdoorsy", Elle took part in three DofE expeditions, including one in Snowdonia National Park.
"I was out of my comfort zone on the expeditions but I learnt a lot, especially about working in a team. Carrying a heavy bag in all sorts of weather also prepared me well for music festivals!"
Elle notes that her family, teachers and DofE Leaders were very supportive throughout her DofE journey.
"My parents bought the clothes I needed for my expedition and my school supplied tents and cooking equipment. My brother will be able to use my rucksack when he does his DofE," she says.
Balancing the DofE with school and other commitments was sometimes difficult but Elle believes it made her more focused.
"It definitely gets more difficult when you're working towards your Silver and Gold Awards. You're doing your GCSEs or A Levels so you've got lots going on – you need to be really good at planning your time. As well as schoolwork, I juggled teaching Year 6 students how to debate, rowing practice, being a lifeguard and a residential in France."
Set up for the future
It was all worth it. English Literature student Elle believes that her DofE Awards helped her to stand out when applying to university.
"My Gold Award in particular is a great talking point in interviews. I can give real life examples of my time management, perseverance and teamwork skills. DofE has made me a more well-rounded person – it's even helped me to get a part-time teaching job."
By telling her story in the charity's film, Elle hopes to show other young people what is possible if they do their DofE. She's also been getting insight into film production, a career she is interested in pursuing.
"I loved doing the filming," she said. "I've never done anything to camera before and I was surprised that I felt so comfortable… although it was quite difficult delivering my lines as I rowed a boat backwards!"

I was just lamenting yesterday evening that none of the variety of trees on our property changes color to orange or red (they all turn to yellow) when our Japanese Maple caught my eye. How could I have forgotten my favorite tree? It is certainly eye-catching with its gorgeous, bright red leaves. Love it!

DEP collects $9M in fines
Jon Brodkin / News Staff Writer
The state Department of Environmental Protection collected nearly $9 million in fines in fiscal 2003, a large increase over the previous year despite deep staff cuts, according to a year-end enforcement report released yesterday.
A $5 million penalty levied on the HubLine project to build a natural gas line through Boston Harbor accounted for the increase, said Ed Coletta, DEP spokesman. The penalty was assessed because work was not finished on time, causing disruptions to fishing areas, he said.
DEP collected $4.2 million in fines in fiscal 2001 and $6.7 million in fiscal 2002, according to the year-end report. The numbers include the value of environmental projects violators are required to perform.
The agency's budget has been cut by $19 million and staff reduced 24 percent in less than two years, the report states.
That led to a 17 percent decline in compliance inspections in fiscal 2003, which ended June 30, 2003. Despite performing fewer inspections, DEP levied 3,079 penalties, just five fewer than in the previous year.
DEP warned that because many of the staff reductions took place late in the fiscal year, the full impact of the cuts was not reflected in yesterday's report.
"We had a number of layoffs in fiscal '03 and toward the end of '03," Coletta said. "We continue to make compliance and enforcement a high priority."
The HubLine penalty and other large fines allowed DEP to exceed the penalties of previous years, Coletta said. Without the $5 million fine, the total collected would have been similar to the average of the last five years, Coletta said.
Locally in 2003, the towns of Maynard, Wayland and Milford paid small fines, as did a manufacturing company in Hudson.
DEP is attempting to make up for staff shortages with new initiatives, such as a recently announced program to use aerial photographs taken years apart to catch people who illegally destroyed wetlands. The program has so far netted two fines totaling $280,000, which occurred after the period detailed in the report.
The HubLine fine was negotiated prior to the actual violation, when it became clear the project would not finish on time. The $5 million fine was used to maintain fishery resources affected by construction and to monitor the project, which was finished several months late, Coletta said. Duke Energy of Charlotte, N.C., built the pipeline.
Locally, DEP fined Maynard $6,850 in May for spilling a million gallons of untreated sewage into the Assabet River. Also in May, Chase-Walton Elastomers Inc. of Hudson was fined more than $13,000 for violating air quality and hazardous waste regulations.
Wayland agreed in July 2002 to pay $15,000 over allegations the town illegally dumped recyclable material in the town landfill in December 1999. In September 2002, Milford was fined $2,750 for failing to properly operate and maintain a wastewater treatment facility located in Hopedale.

There's more to learning how to drive than just reading the DMV handbook. At Varsity Driving Academy, we help teach students from Brethren Christian Junior/Senior High School more than just the handbook. We work to make sure students have a stress free experience so that everything taught can be remembered. See how Varsity Driving Academy works to make your learning experience the best possible below. Then, sign up for your courses and get started today.
Welcome to Varsity Driving Academy Brethren Christian Junior/Senior High School!
Our free pick up and drop off service is one way we help students from Brethren Christian Junior/Senior High School learn how to drive.
Online learning gives us the chance to make our own schedules and keep our lives on track. Students at Brethren Christian Junior/Senior High School need to get their general education, participate in extracurricular activities and a have social life. All of the above means it could be hard to fit learning how to drive into their schedules. Luckily, Varsity Driving Academy has the answer. Online learning with VDA gives you access to top rated driving lessons from just about anywhere. What we allow is for students to make their own schedules and learn only when they have free time.
Behind the wheel training is when we put the lessons learned online or in the classroom to work. Actually getting behind the wheel will help students realize why the rules exist. During this process, we will make sure students are as safe as possible. Our vehicles are hand picked to ensure that safety is intact. We also prefer to have one student in the vehicle at a time. If a student feels confident and in a judgment-free environment, they will be more likely to ask questions and get clarifications. Our trainers all have years of experience not only driving but teaching as well. Every student will get a grade-a experience when they first sit behind the wheel and will have the opportunity to have the best driving tactics around.
Everything we do at Varsity Driving Academy is meant to better the learning experience and teach safe practices. One of the best examples of our methods can be seen with the DMV Package. Students who choose the DMV Package get more of us than they will get anywhere else. We will schedule all appointments with the DMV, pick students up for the final test, and let them use our vehicle for that test. We love the DMV package because it takes even more stress out of the entire process of learning how to drive. With less stress, students can focus more on what they've learned and let more of it stick. Check out our contact us page to get the answers to the questions you may have at (949)-387-4400.

Q: Monitor connected through VGA to HDMI converter not always detected I recently bought a new laptop which does not have VGA output. Since my second monitor has only a VGA input I bought a VGA/HDMI converter.
Some important information about my laptop: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, graphic cards : Nvidia GeForce 930M (with the latest drivers for ubuntu), and I also have an integrated Intel 5500 HD graphics card.
The first day I used my new laptop with that monitor everything was working perfectly either in windows or in ubuntu. But after the second booting the monitor was not detected anymore (in windows and ubuntu). I tried to go to display setting and try to "detect" the monitor but it does not work as it worked before. The monitor itself displays "no video input".
The only way I have to make it work is to continuously reboot my laptop until its detected (a little bit strange, but it can be a hint to the problem).
I don't know what I can do, anyone has an idea or had the same problem?
Kind regards,
Edgar

A: Try, After to connect, VGA/HDMI, I going to "System Settings" -> "Display"; and worked for me.
I hope help you.


I was on my way from Panama to Colombia on a cramped vessel. The Caribbean Sea was more inviting than the virtually impenetrable overland route through the Darién Gap.
Henrik, a Swede in his 50s, had spent most of his life at sea. His leathery skin was varnished from years exposed under the sun. Grey spikes sprouted from his unshaven chin. He was a Scandinavian Jekyll and Hyde who lounged around playing battleships and teaching me the ropes of sailing by day, and by night transformed into an uncultivated drunk who imbibed potent tipples by the gallon. His piercing blue bloodshot eyes stared unnervingly each evening as the horizon swallowed the sun and I expected him to howl at any moment.
We wove our way through the San Blas Islands, hundreds of unspoilt mounds of white sand and palm trees inhabited by Kuna, indigenous locals who fished and paddled out to tempt us with their handmade jewellery of shells and coral. We stopped off at one island and ate grilled fish, plantain and coconut but had to make a retreat after an inebriated Henrik insulted the chief.
The following night I had to take the helm as Henrik, pickled in rum, failed to emerge from his cabin. Waves the size of houses slammed into our skiff. One threatened to envelop us as it crashed over the boat. Daytime brought calm.
We dropped anchor halfway. During a swim to a fleck of an island, I spotted a fin protruding menacingly from the water nearby. I panicked and called out to Henrik who raised a can of Balboa beer and smiled revealing his cracked yellow teeth. My arms slapped and pulled at the water and my legs kicked for life. I soon made land, cutting my feet on some coral. Over my shoulder my pursuer fled, a playful dolphin.
Back on board Henrik rationed me to sips of water as my seasickness deteriorated. He poured more hot sticky rum into his cracked highball glass and challenged me to a game of battleships. The twinkling lights of Cartagena danced on the horizon. Due to Henrik's disdain for bureaucracy we entered Colombia illegally under the cover of darkness. I never did find my sea legs.
