Download PDF Format (opens in new window)
Net Sales Increased 15.8%; Comparable Store Sales Increased 13.1% on Top of 26.8% Comparable Store Sales Growth Last Year
Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Increased 20.4% to $1.95
Third Quarter 2021 Marks the Sixth Consecutive Quarter in Which Comparable Store Sales Have Grown More Than 10%
Company Raises Fiscal 2021 Guidance
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 25, 2021.
"The third quarter marks our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit comparable store sales growth. We are once again very pleased with the overall performance of our business, which exceeded our expectations. Our outstanding results are indicative of the hard work and dedication of the more than 45,000 Team Members of Tractor Supply who are successfully navigating the challenging and ever-changing external environment," said Hal Lawton, Tractor Supply's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Over 18 months into the pandemic, our business has never been stronger. Our growth continues to be robust. Our customer trends remain structurally sound. We are continuing to gain market share and invest in the business to capture the significant opportunities ahead of us. As we advance our multiyear Life Out Here Strategy, we are beginning to realize the benefits from our strategic initiatives. Despite unprecedented pressures across our supply chain, we are raising our outlook for fiscal 2021 and are on track for a record year of sales and earnings," Lawton added.
Third Quarter 2021 Results
Net sales for the third quarter 2021 increased 15.8% to $3.02 billion from $2.61 billion in the third quarter of 2020. Comparable store sales increased 13.1%, as compared to an increase of 26.8% in the prior year's third quarter. Comparable store sales for the third quarter 2021 were driven by comparable average ticket growth and comparable average transaction count growth of 9.5% and 3.6%, respectively. The comparable store sales results were broad-based and reflect robust demand for everyday merchandise, including consumable, usable and edible ("C.U.E.") products, and continued growth in summer seasonal categories. All geographic regions and major merchandising categories of the Company had comparable store sales growth. In addition, the Company's e-commerce sales experienced strong double-digit growth for the 37th consecutive quarter.
Gross profit increased 14.5% to $1.09 billion from $948.0 million in the prior year's third quarter, and gross margin decreased 41 basis points to 36.0% from 36.4% in the prior year's third quarter. The Company's price management actions, primarily due to inflationary cost pressures, and other margin driving initiatives were able to offset most of the impact from significant product cost inflation pressures, higher transportation costs and a product mix shift towards C.U.E. categories.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 13.3% to $788.1 million from $695.8 million in the prior year's third quarter. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses improved 58 basis points to 26.1% from 26.7% in the third quarter of 2020. The improvement in SG&A as a percent of net sales was primarily attributable to leverage in occupancy and other fixed costs from the increase in comparable store sales, lower COVID-19 pandemic response costs and decreased incentive compensation. The leverage from these SG&A expenses was partially offset by higher wage rates, additional store labor hours, investments in the Company's strategic initiatives and other discrete costs specific to the current operating environment.
Operating income increased 17.9% to $297.2 million compared to $252.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.
The effective income tax rate was 22.9% compared to 22.2% in the third quarter of 2020.
Net income increased 17.7% to $224.4 million from $190.6 million, and diluted earnings per share increased 20.4% to $1.95 from $1.62 in the third quarter of 2020.
The Company repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares of its common stock for $141.3 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $59.4 million, returning $200.6 million of capital to shareholders in the third quarter of 2021.
The Company opened 12 new Tractor Supply stores and three new Petsense stores in the third quarter of 2021.
First Nine Months of Fiscal 2021 Results
Net sales for the first nine months of 2021 increased 21.6% to $9.41 billion from $7.74 billion in the first nine months of 2020. Comparable store sales increased 18.5% versus a 21.5% increase in the first nine months of 2020.
Gross profit increased 21.4% to $3.36 billion from $2.77 billion, and gross margin was 35.7% in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020.
SG&A expenses, including depreciation and amortization, increased 19.9% to $2.34 billion from $1.95 billion but decreased as a percent of net sales to 24.9% compared to 25.2% for the first nine months of 2020.
Operating income increased 24.8% to $1.01 billion compared to $812.5 million in the first nine months of 2020.
The effective income tax rate was 21.9% compared to 22.6% in the first nine months of 2020.
Net income increased 26.5% to $775.8 million from $613.1 million, and diluted earnings per share increased 27.7% to $6.68 from $5.23 for the first nine months of 2020.
Year to date through the third quarter, the Company has repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of its common stock for $598.0 million. The Company has also paid quarterly cash dividends totaling $179.8 million year to date, returning $777.8 million of capital to shareholders.
During the first nine months of 2021, the Company opened 44 new Tractor Supply stores and six new Petsense stores and closed 11 Petsense stores.
Fiscal 2021 Financial Outlook
The Company is updating its fiscal 2021 financial guidance to reflect its strong performance year to date through the third quarter of 2021 and based on what it can reasonably predict at this time.
For fiscal 2021, the Company now expects the following:
~$12.6 billion
$12.1 billion - $12.3 billion
Comparable Store Sales
~+16%
+11% - +13%
Operating Margin Rate

Earnings per Diluted Share

Share Repurchases

The Company continues to have a strong liquidity position with current cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.11 billion and no amounts drawn on its $500 million revolving credit facility as of September 25, 2021.
The Company's outlook for fiscal 2021 does not contemplate the impact of the pending acquisition of Orscheln Farm and Home previously announced on February 17, 2021. The acquisition is conditioned on the receipt of regulatory clearance and satisfactory completion of customary closing conditions.

The Boston Sunday Globe had some interesting reading yesterday: "Laptop seizures at customs cause thorny legal dispute". When David House, a former MIT researcher, returned from vacation in Mexico a little over a year ago, federal agents seized his laptop at customs during a connection in Chicago, and kept it for almost two months. There was no search warrant, and he wasn't charged with a crime. The article describes a "Consitution-free zone" where governement agents don't need probable cause or reasonable suspicion to seize property, as long as it's not "invasive".
The Customs and Border Protection agency says the power to seize laptops is necessary to find information about terrorists, drug smugglers, and other criminals trying to enter the country. However, how far does this go? Apparently federal agents wanted to learn more about House's connection to Bradley Manning, the US Army private who leaked classified government information to the website WikiLeaks. David had met Bradley at a hackers convention in the past. In the two months that David's laptop was seized, government agents had access to his files, photos, bank account passwords... everything about him, without any specific charge against him.
The article cites a survey last month by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives which found that nearly half of the participating companies did not know customs agents could inspect, copy, or even seize travelers' laptops.
If you travel outside of the US think twice about what you carry with you on your laptop, smart phone, iPad or anywhere else you store files and sensitive information. People who travel with confidential corporate documents, trade secrets, or attorneys with confidential client information really need to be aware of the risks.
Some corporations are now requiring that laptops be wiped clean of sensitive information before travelling overseas. You can use your laptop to access files stored on a remote server ("in the cloud") or for secure remote access to another PC. This is inconvenient because you will always need an Internet connection to work. Some people also create encrypted volumes on their hard drive to hide sensitive files. With the BYOD trend (Bring your Own Device to work), things get even more complicated. Bottom line, if you don't want potentially ALL your information exposed, create a game plan in advance, (and make sure everything is backed up).

EdgeWalk receives Guinness World Records® Title
On November 8, 2011 EdgeWalk at the CN Tower was presented with the Guinness World Record for the "Highest External Walk on a Building".
Carey Low, the Guinness World Records® Canadian Representative, presented the certificate to Jack Robinson, Chief Operating Officer of the CN Tower on the EdgeWalk itself, 356m/1,168ft above the ground!
"I am personally delighted to award this certificate to the CN Tower; this is an opportunity for them to be part of the 2011 Guinness World Records Day in advance of the 17th November," said Low. "The EdgeWalk is a particularly exciting record, and will be listed as: The highest external walk on a building is located 356 m (1,167.97 ft) above the ground, running full-circle around the roof of 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada. Participants experience a "hands-free", harness-secured "EdgeWalk" along a 150-m-long (492-ft) ledge just 1.5 m (5 ft) wide."
EdgeWalk opened to the public on August 1, 2011 and is the CN Tower's most thrilling attraction in its history, and the first of its kind in North America. It is the world's highest full circle hands-free walk on a 5 ft (1.5 m) wide ledge encircling the top of the Tower's main pod. Visitors walk in groups of six, while attached to an overhead safety rail via a trolley and harness system. Trained EdgeWalk guides encourage participants to push their personal limits, allowing them to lean back over Toronto with nothing but air and breathtaking views of Lake Ontario beneath them.
During this busy shorter first season EdgeWalk exceeded all booking expectations welcoming more than twice the number expected to walk atop one of the world's greatest man-made wonders. Walkers as young as 13 and as young at heart as 90 experienced EdgeWalk. Many embraced the unique opportunity to organize special walks including marriage proposals, birthday and anniversary celebrations and corporate team building and client appreciation EdgeWalks, often followed by dinner at 360 Restaurant.
Designed with the highest international safety and security standards in mind, EdgeWalk runs 1.5 hours, with the outdoor walk lasting approximately 30 minutes. Tickets include a keepsake video, photos and certificate of achievement. Participants also receive a Tower Experience Ticket. EdgeWalk operates seasonally from April to December.

There was a time when your browser was Microsoft Internet Explorer. You could install Netscape Navigator, but what was the point, when you already had IE? But then Netscape gradually became Firefox and people started to realise that IE actually wasn't very good.
These are my views on the top browsers, and their current (August 2010) market share.
Does everything I need, and I mean 'everything'. Chrome comes very close, but Firefox does everything.
Only been around for a short time, but is already the 3rd most popular browser. Fast, simple and has lots of extensions available.
Yes, IE (allegedly) has security issues, and can sometimes render certain CSS elements in it's own special way, but you could still do a lot worse than IE. Heh, see below.
Predicatably disappointing software from Apple. Looks nice, has a few flashy gimmicks, but misses the mark on basic functionality.
Once, the pioneer of multi-tabbed browsing. Now, just quirky and a bit plain.

I have to assume you all have heard that the Orange County Sheriff's Department Harbor Patrol will be handing over the helm to managing the city of Newport Beach moorings fields on July 1st 2017.
Local resident Dennis Durgan has been working hard over the last two weeks in preparation of becoming the new Harbor Master. This task is challenging with Durgan putting in long days getting ready for the up coming watch change. My understanding is that the first six months, of Durgan watch, is being referred to as a trial period.
Harbor Master Dennis Durgan
One of the many tasks involved is preparing a fleet of three boats that will monitor the moorings and provide assistance to boaters. The conceptual work example is based from the harbor patrol in Avalon and other anchorages in Catalina. The City has owned a 19-foot center console Boston Whaler named " Clean Sweep" that has been renamed Harbormaster 1. Harbormaster 1 has recently received engine service, new fenders, VHF radio, radar and chart plotter. The other two vessels the city has charted, from the Newport Aquatic Center, are catamaran coaching vessels. I have not heard yet what VHF channel the Harbor Service workers will be monitoring or how to call them over the VHF radio. If I was to guess, I would start with Channel 16 and call for "Newport Harbor Mooring Services" and follow their lead to another work channel.
The Harbormasters office will be located at Marina Park on the second floor under the Marina Services sign. Office work will include the transfer of mooring permits, the collection of mooring fees, auditing mooring permits for maintenance work, proof of documentation and insurance and assigning guest moorings. In front of Marina Park there will be a string of double ended moorings added to coincide with Marina Parks guest slips.
Other tasks Harbormaster Durgan will be assigned with will be enforcing many parts of the Newport Beach Municipal Code Title 17 http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/NewportBeach/html/pdfs/newportbeach17.pdf. I will assume Durgan will have to focus on 17.20 Vessel launching and Operation, 17.25.010 Docking Regulations, 17.25.020 Anchorage, Berthing and Mooring Regulations, 17.40 Live-Aboards, 17.45 Sanitation and 17.60.040 Mooring Permits. It is my understanding that Title 17 will be amended very soon to included the Duties of the Harbor Master and define their duties.
There are many unanswered questions floating around the harbor regarding this watch change. I keep hearing questions of why the watch change now? Why the urgency of this change and why was it placed on one of the two busiest days in the harbor? Why was the Harbor Commission not even given a chance to make any recommendations? One of the main duties of the Harbor Commission is to "Advise the City Council on proposed harbor related improvements."
New Harbor Service boat.
If you're wondering what my gut take is on the watch change? The bottom line is it will be better for the harbor in the long run. It has been more than obvious that the need for better code enforcement in the moorings and on the public docks is long over due. The largest task for Durgan will not just be developing the proper tools for the jobs, it will be how to define and implement Title 17. The sheriff department has implemented much of title 17 for a very long time and any type of change is going to ruffle feathers. Change is always going to produce the question of equality. One of the worst things that can happen would have the public reference the harbormaster as the mooring lord. This will not be an easy watch change and I have edited William Goldings quote for every harbor user "He who rides the water of our harbor must have sails woven of patience."
Speaking of patience, during last weeks Harbor Commission meeting a commissioner asked the city council liaison why the communication line between commissioner and assigned council member shall be discontinued to further notice. The public should question their city council member on what happened and how will this be remedied.
Towards the end of the Harbor Commission meeting local Newport Beach activist Jim Mosher gave one of the kindest accolades to departing commissioner West that I have ever heard. I wish I could have quoted Mosher but the gist of his comment thanked West for his service to our harbor and that Mosher had never seen such positive change, for the better, in the Harbor Commission than the time he served as the chairman. Mosher hit the nail on the head and I should have started clapping with agreement and a final thank you to West.
Trans Pac "Back in the Day"
Larry Somers 1981 Trans Pac aboard Jubilee
I am writing this story on Tuesday July 14 and will be starting the Trans Pac race from Point Fermin, San Pedro to Diamond Head on the Island of Oahu on Thursday the 16th. While writing my last story regarding the battle between Hana Ho and Shandu in the 1981 Trans Pac I kept running into the name of Larry Somers while completing my research. Somers was the communications chairman for the Trans Pac Yacht Club for many years and I thought interviewing him would make for a good story.
The Somers family dates back into the early 1900 where his grandfather was the commodore of the Los Angles Yacht Club in 1916 and the Cal Yacht Club in 1925. His grandfather also competed in the Olympics in 1928 in Holland sailing 8 Meters. His mother was also very active in sailing and the family purchased a beach house between I and J street on the Balboa Peninsula where he grew up. As a kid he participated in the Newport Harbor Yacht Clubs junior program.
In the 1957 his father Harvey Somers sailed with the Farwell family aboard their 85' schooner Sea Drift. During this race the Somers family took the Matson lines SS Lurline to Hawaii. "During the race we were able to make our way into the radio room and obtain the race reports and keep updated on the race." Somers said.
In 1965 Somers met Peter Davis and sailed with him in that years Trans Pac aboard the 65 foot cutter Orient. Davis later became commodore at the NHYC in 1971 where Somers worked with Davis in the sail fleet committee. During this time Walter Hoffman was the Communications Chairman and he was ready to pass his task over to the next and up coming volunteer. This is when Peter Davis brought Somers into the loop and he started his first Trans Pac as communications chair in 1981. Somers was activated as the Communications Chairman during the 1976 Tahiti Race for the TPYC, he also worked the 1978 Tahiti race.
Sumers, Baldwin & Steele
The communications chair responsibilities are always changing and it's a very important part of the race. Grant Baldwin, for most of the years Somers was working, was the voice over the radio taking the daily position reports. The person behind the scene was Somers who would be inputting the positions into an Apple computer, yes there were personal computers in the 1970's, and from there they would have Latitude, Longitude, Miles from San Pedro, Miles to Honolulu, PET (Projected Elapsed Time), PCT (Projected Corrected Time) and Handicap Positions. What this all means is the competitors and the spectators, back home, would have daily reports on what place their boats are in.
I cannot tell you how hard it was to fall asleep when you just got off watch at 0700 when the navigator would turn on the Single Side Band Radio at 0730. The SSB sounded like going online during the early dial up internet service days and then trying to sleep through all the moans and groans of the navigator while they where plotting out the fleet during roll call. Roll call started at 0800 and by 1100 each day Baldwin and Somers would broadcast your standings. A very important part of your day while racing in the Trans Pac.
Somers did six crossing on different escort boats ranging from 1981 Dick Steele's 60' motor sailor Jubilee that was later named Jamboree by a different owner in 1989. In 1985 he sailed aboard a 65 foot Hood Motor sailor and in 1983 and 87 sailed on Orange Coast College Alaska Eagle. Somers saved the biggest boat for last in 1991 aboard Hawkeye a 105 foot motor yacht.
" All the trips were business like and yet a lot of fun. Like most racers the first one is always the one you remember and the 1981 run aboard Jubilee with Dick Steal, Grant Baldwin, Gary Hill and Billy Buckingham was one of my favorites. We would work in the morning, sail in the afternoon and motor sail at night all the time monitoring the radio." Somers said.
Both Somers and I agree that with SSB radios being fazed out to emails and satellite phones we are losing a favorite tradition to the race and that is group communications . Let's just hope that todays organizers can find a way to keep that tradition alive maybe with FaceTime in the future. I have to give a big thank you to Larry Somers for taking almost an hour with me sharing his story.
Right now, on Horizon, the weather is not cooperating. We will be starting the race and if we cannot get into any wind by Sunday we will have to make a tough decision on whether or not to withdraw from the race or slug it out. Keep an eye on us on the Trans Pac website yellow brick tracking system at http://yb.tl/transpac2015.
Wish us good wind and following seas!

On the Harbor: Shannon Levin leaves a legacy
Shannon Levin
In 2008, Shannon applied for the Harbor's supervisor position. "I wanted the job and attended Harbor Commission meetings, researched the Harbor Codes and studied the harbor and bay elements of the general plan," she said. After three interviews, she received the job and immediately went to work on beach maintenance programs for Balboa Island and China Cove. She was tasked with field surveys, permit applications, creating dredge profiles, hiring contractors, scheduling the work and on-site project management.
I then asked Shannon what has changed in the harbor over the last nine years? "The last six or seven years we've had many high-profile projects with multiple revisions of the harbor code, mooring codes and fees. We collected input from the Harbor Commission, City Council, along with political and capital interest," she said.
Shannon went on to explain that one of the most difficult annual tasks in Harbor Resources is chasing the sea lions around the harbor and how relentless they can be. I changed topics and asked which of her projects is she most proud of? "My hallmark project was opening Marina Park – setting rents, staffing, creating rules/policies, training and procedures."
When asked what advice she would leave her replacement she said, "Managing public resources is a balance of making decisions based on what the community wants and how to best allocate the resources. It is a fine line and you just do the best that you can to give the general public the best use of them."
We than talked about her new job as Dana Point Harbor's manager. How it is similar but different with less hands-on operations and maintenance, more contract administration and leases. Shannon will be the go-to person for the harbor and county agencies. She will also be in touch with many of her contacts in the Coastal Commission, Boating and Waterways and Water Quality board.
She will be bringing with her the understanding of high profile complex projects. "If you work hard everything has a solution, be transparent and fair then everything seems to fit in the puzzle
Will we still see you around town? "I'll still be around and I will be more relaxed, I will no longer have to keep an eye out for things that have to be fixed on Monday," Shannon said.
Now that I reflect over the last year and a half, Shannon has found solutions to difficult problems. She is extraordinarily good with her presentations to government agencies and acknowledges work well done. At the same time, I clearly recall the days I made a few too many mistakes and took mind not to repeat those mistakes.
Shannon Levin is my friend and I will miss her and at the same time it always feels good to watch a friend move on to a better opportunity.

Lance Armstrong can relate to Russia.
The fallen cyclist, who was banned from sanctioned Olympic sports for life in 2012 as a result of long-term doping offenses, was at New York's 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday to support Neftlix's doping documentary, "Icarus." After a screening of the Academy Award shortlisted doc, which Netflix bought last year at the Sundance Film Festival for $5 million, Armstrong sat on a panel with director Bryan Fogel, producer Dan Cogan, and moderator Philip Gourevitch.
"Icarus" follows Fogel as he looks at the benefits and effects of using performance-enhancing drugs while competing in an amateur cycling race. The director stumbled into an international scandal when his research connected him with Grigory Rodchenkov, a key figure in Russia's state-sponsored doping program in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Ultimately, Rodchenkov became a whistleblower, working with the New York Times to pull back the curtain on doping. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recently banned certain Russian athletes from the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea following its probe into an elaborate doping scheme involving those athletes.
Armstrong explained that getting ratted out in such a public way, as Russia has, is something he knows a thing or two about.
"So it's like when you're looking at Russia, you're looking at yourself," Gourevitch asked.
Armstrong then called on Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to stand up to Russia.


September 28, 2016 – Government controllers have told Athersys Inc. that the outline of its arranged Phase 3 clinical trial looks great.
So if stir patients in the trial react well to Athersys' grown-up undeveloped cell treatment, the organization ought to have the capacity to apply for the privilege to start offering MultiStem – which would be the organization's first item. The Cleveland organization intends to enlist 300 patients in the Phase 3 trial.
Getting outline endorsement from the U.S. Nourishment and Drug Administration is a "noteworthy achievement" for Athersys, CEO Gil Van Bokkelen said in a news discharge reporting the understanding. The endorsement was made under a Special Protocal Assessment, which must be adjusted if both the FDA and the organization consent to the adjustments in composing, or if "the FDA gets to be mindful of a significant investigative issue crucial to item viability or security," the discharge expressed, refering to an industry direction record from the FDA.
Athersys points "to be set up to dispatch the trial in 2017," he expressed.
In February, Athersys reported that MultiStem performed well in a littler Phase 2 trial including stroke patients. What's more, on Sept. 12, the organization said that it had gotten authorization to start testing the grown-up immature microorganism treatment on stroke patients in Japan, which has brought down the administrative hindrances to commercializing undifferentiated cell treatments. The Japanese trial is intended to supplement the Phase 3 trial, which is being known as the MASTERS-2 trial. That stands for MultiStem Administration for Stroke Treatment and Enhanced Recovery Study-2.
"The SPA is vital in elucidating and de-taking a chance with a quickened improvement pathway for us since it implies that the fruitful consummation of the MASTERS-2 trial, together with other accessible clinical information, could empower us to apply for promoting endorsement in the United States," Van Bokkelen expressed in the discharge.
"With this objective now accomplished, we will proceed with the procedure of engagement with the FDA, European and Canadian controllers, and additionally the numerous locales that have communicated an enthusiasm for taking an interest in the study, to finish other essential exercises preceding trial start," he said.
Upgrade Sept. 23: You can read our unique post about the striking instance of Kris Boesen after this redesign. In any case, a few information on the trial that Boesen is taking an interest in was discharged a week ago by Asterias Therapeutics, the organization that built up the immature microorganisms infused into Boesen and different patients with cervical spinal line wounds.
Asterias says the trial results to date are empowering. The example is still to a great degree little and nothing is truly demonstrated now, yet the information are unquestionably positive for different patients other than Boesen.
There are two gatherings of patients: three who got a measurements of 2 million undifferentiated cells and five who got a bigger dosage of 10 million.
To gauge change, specialists utilize the Upper Extremity Motor Scale, or UEMS. The scale keeps running from zero, which shows add up to loss of motion, to five, which implies a patient has dynamic development.
In the first place companion, 2 million undifferentiated cells infused: On the six-point UEMS scale, one of three patients enhanced one engine level on one side of the body, while the other two patients enhanced one level on both sides.
The other noteworthy discovering, Asterias said, is that nobody demonstrated any quantifiable negative impacts of the treatment — analysts began with the littler dosage to ensure patients weren't hurt by the trial, then went to the higher 10-million-cell measurements.
Specialists have said the ideal measurements target is 20 million cells, however that point has not been come to yet in the trial.
The following point of reference for getting a clearer photo of the outcomes will be at the six-month point for the second accomplice, in January 2017.
All patients in the trial, being led at six locales around the nation, have either "lost all development beneath their damage site and experience serious loss of motion of the upper and lower appendages," or "lost all engine work however may hold some negligible tactile capacity underneath their harm site," as indicated by Asterias.
You can see more data on the study, which is called SCIStar, atClinicalTrials.gov.
Bar Boesen says his child, Kris, was so awful off he couldn't move a muscle starting from the neck, and required a ventilator to keep him drawing breath.
In March, Kris, then 20, was driving on a wet street when he slammed his auto into a tree and a phone survey, pounding three of his vertebrae. The mishap left him with no inclination south of his neck, and specialists anticipated that he would lead the life of a paraplegic.
Be that as it may, that has not been the situation; Kris has recaptured the utilization of his hands and arms.
In April, as a major aspect of an examination trial, a surgical group from USC's Keck Medical Center infused a huge number of embryonic foundational microorganisms into Boesen's spine. After two weeks, Boesen started to demonstrate some change. Following six weeks, he was released and returned home to Bakersfield, California to proceed with his restoration.
Presently, five months after the undifferentiated cell infusion, Boesen is amazingly independent, considering the underlying forecast. From bolstering himself to chatting on the telephone to having the capacity to bend the top off a pop container, life is a degree more ordinary than anybody suspected conceivable.
The objective of the test undifferentiated cell treatment is to regrow the defensive myelin sheath around every nerve, allowing them to mend. Whether this has happened in Boesen yet is unknown–doctors would need to regulate a spinal tap to discover, and that is hazardous for patients in this condition.
So scientists don't know yet whether Boesen's recuperation is because of the infusion of undeveloped cells. Everything they can say is that his advance has been amazing, if not uncommon for this sort of spine harm.
With most spinal wounds, specialists and physical advisors typically hope to see what's still in place, then attempt to make incremental enhancements. As per usual, individuals don't recuperate a great part of the development or capacity they've lost.
Charles Liu, a neurosurgeon and chief of the USC Neurorestoration Center that is driving the examination, says the objective is not to endeavor to repair the whole vertebral segment, yet to focus on the cervical spine and reestablish neurological capacity.
The other four patients in the partner have demonstrated some advance, however not as much as Boesen, as indicated by Liu. Every individual got one shot of immature microorganisms, and alternate patients got bring down dosages than the 10 million undifferentiated organisms infused into Boesen's cervical spinal line.
Boesen's recuperation may have been aided by his young age, and by the way that he got the undifferentiated cell infusion so soon – only five weeks after his pile up, Liu said.
On the other hand accomplished these sort of results. Liu forewarned that not all spinal damage casualties will profit by this kind of treatment, however he said it offers trust that there might be a solution for some spinal wounds.
Information from patients in the study is set to be discharged on Wednesday.
Seven months back, 21-year-old Kris Boesen endured an extreme damage to his spinal line in the wake of losing control of his vehicle on a wet street and pummeling into an utility pole. His folks, Rodney and Annette Boesen, were told by doctors that their child would likely rise up out of the mischance a paraplegic, for all time deadened starting from the neck.
In any case, this dismal visualization preceded Kris partook in a spearheading immature microorganism treatment clinical trial where specialists from the University of Southern California's Keck Medicine Neurorestoration Center in Los Angeles, California, surgically infused extraordinarily formed foundational microorganisms into Kris' spinal string.
Three months after the surgery, Kris recaptured utilization of both his left and right arm. He is currently ready to finish numerous day by day undertakings that he was beforehand not able to do, for example, nourishing himself, messaging companion's on his cellphone, composing, working a mechanized wheelchair, and offering embraces to his mom and dad.
While the subject of undifferentiated organism treatment is still fervently, numerous specialists and researchers feel an immature microorganism treatment clinical trial like the one Kris partook in shed new light on the quantifiable advantages of undeveloped cell examine. The late progressions of neurorestoration and regenerative prescription as they relate to immature microorganism treatment apparently add to these advantages, as they have as of now demonstrated potential for reestablishing neurological capacity in a few patients with serious spinal rope wounds.
Regenerative solution, also called regenerative immature microorganism treatment, is a remarkable cure for excruciating conditions and wounds that are past the purpose of mechanical repair. The primary center of regenerative treatment are immature microorganisms, or "clear" cells that can develop and transform into any part of the body, recovering quality and dependability for the harmed range. Amid a procedure called self-reestablishment, immature microorganisms imitate into cells particularly intended to develop diverse body parts, for example, blood, skin, and muscle. The phone recharging in the harmed range of the body will permit the recuperating procedure to happen normally and naturally, contrasted with an obtrusive methodology, which can be hazardous.
WHAT ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS OF STEM CELL THERAPY?
There are huge advantages with respect to undifferentiated organism treatment. The primary advantage is that foundational microorganism treatment is non-obtrusive, dispensing with the requirement for any kind of surgical system. Any surgical method will include a huge number of dangers, for example, general anesthesia, heart rate breakdown, respiratory issues, and even disappointment of the strategy itself, prompting numerous more confusions. That being said, undeveloped cell treatment is sheltered with a brisk recuperation time, and also no scars or outer harm. Another advantage of undifferentiated organism treatment is that it advances normal recuperating properties in the body. Since undifferentiated organisms are actually happening, the human body will adjust faster to the recuperating procedure and advance characteristic mending elements that the harmed range had needed some time recently.
WHY IS STEM CELL THERAPY THE BEST CHOICE FOR PAIN ELIMINATION & CORRECTION?
Since the primary undifferentiated organism treatment method was directed, more than 80 ailments have been effectively cured by regenerative prescription. The relative speed and simplicity of accepting immature microorganism treatment permits regenerative pharmaceutical to wind up one of the top contrasting options to different types of treatment. A huge number of individuals have been totally recuperated by regenerative drug. Ended up one of them today. Contact the OC Wellness and Physicians facility today to start the procedure.

Her stroke was seen Thursday morning since her five-year-old granddaughter, Chloe, addressed the telephone and told Bryant's significant other she had fallen.
"On the off chance that it had not been for that, we wouldn't have this discussion today," Edward Bryant said.
While Lisa Bryant got a snappy reaction from a rescue vehicle and got a coagulation busting drug and mechanical recovery of a coagulation, and has gained surprising ground physically from that point forward, there is little past restoration that specialists can offer to enhance her manifestations. Yet, that could change contingent on the result of an extensive clinical trial into a sort of undifferentiated cell treatment headed up by an Augusta University agent.
Dr. David Hess, executive of the Department of Neurology at AU, will head up a Phase III worldwide clinical trial for stroke patients utilizing the MultiStem cell treatment to treat ischemic stroke, the organization Athersys said. Not at all like the past Phase II ponder, which extended the treatment window out to 48 hours after the stroke, the study will concentrate on 18-36 hours, which Hess accepts is the best time window. Athersys is leading a comparative clinical trial in Japan in conjunction with the organization Healios.
In view of a concurrence with the Food and Drug Administration, the organization would be cleared to look for endorsement from the FDA to market it if there are sure results from this study.
Dissimilar to the past study, this one has a shorter time window on the grounds that the way the cells are being regulated has changed and won't require a cell handling focus that additional to the postponement for some focuses in the study.
Those that got it in the shorter time window in the past study had less passings and handicaps and less diseases and scientists now trust that while there is some impact specifically on the cerebrum, the treatment's principle impact could be on regulating the resistant framework, he said.
"It's really advancing the great parts of the safe framework and alleviating the harmful ones, we think," Hess said.
The treatment could keep the incendiary reaction that may hurt introductory recuperation and keeping the spleen from conveying those cells and consequently getting to be "depleted," draining the insusceptible reaction and setting the body up for contaminations like pneumonia taking after the stroke, Hess said. That is an altogether different comprehension from when he started taking a shot at undeveloped cell treatment for stroke patients in 2004.
"You need to take a gander at stroke as a systemic malady, that is the thing that we've increased in value," Hess said. "At the point when the mind is harmed, the entire rest of the body takes after." The cell treatment, given through an IV, gives that.
He additionally applauded Athersys for staying with it in seeking after subsidizing for the trials in an incredulous domain where financial specialists and organizations fear treatments simply aren't conceivable.
"Such a large number of organizations fear it and avoid it," Hess said. That is especially valid for the cell-based treatments.
Indeed, even with positive results, endorsement could in any case be years off. As far as it matters for them, the Bryants have more quick concerns.
They had quite recently come back from a journey to the Caribbean when Lisa Bryant had her stroke. What's more, now she is anticipating taking another in a month. While her significant other communicated a little hesitance to focus on that, on this issue Lisa Bryant discovered her voice.
"I'm going," she said, uproarious and clear.
Stem Cell Therapy – Specialized Cells with the Ability to Self-Replicate Could Reform Healthcare!
Foundational microorganisms allude to a gathering of body cells which can separate to frame specific cells. The cells additionally have the capacity to self-recreate prompting more undifferentiated organisms. When they do separate, undeveloped cells can recreate cell in the body. In people, there are two essential sorts of foundational microorganisms; embryonic and substantial (grown-up) undifferentiated cells. Embryonic undeveloped cells are framed amid the blastocyst period of improvement (4 – 5 days). Substantial undeveloped cells, then again, are situated in various body tissues all through the body. They are found in both kids and grown-ups in tissues, for example, blood, bone marrow, skeletal muscle and the liver. Because of self-recharging and the capacity to deliver little girl cells indistinguishable to the parent cell, undifferentiated organisms can stay free from harm and hereditary distortions.
Undifferentiated organism treatment otherwise called regenerative solution is the utilization of immature microorganism to reestablish harmed, deteriorated or ailing body tissues. The phones are controlled into a particular kind of cells and are transplanted into influenced organs to supplant the harmed cells and contribute in repairing the faulty tissue.
The imperfections treatable with foundational microorganism treatment are wide and shifted with the accompanying conditions being the most well-known.
Undifferentiated organism treatment is utilized to treat and soothe torment in joints impervious to the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment. It is most normally utilized for the bigger joints of the hips and the knee. The treatment is viable in diminishing irritation and torment brought on by wounds to the Achilles ligaments, rotator sleeves, and shoulder joints. Tissue mending is perpetual and patients encounter steady torment help as they recuperate. To facilitate the torment, endorsed painkillers are recommended.
Undifferentiated cells can be a compelling treatment of specific types of tumor with the most well-known being leukemia. The treatment is utilized to transplant solid bone marrow cells into patients. Amid chemotherapy, a portion of the patient's bone marrow is influenced. This is the place the platelets are delivered and thus it bargains the whole body's insusceptibility. The reason for this immature microorganism treatment (bone marrow transplant) is to supplant the well used out cells with sound cells once chemotherapy is finished. This permits the bone marrow to keep playing out its capacities. In some disconnected cases, the transplant has appeared to raise insusceptibility level of the patients permitting the body to destroy any residual disease cells.

AN OBAN performer is playing a gig one month from now to gather pledges for foundational microorganism treatment to treat his various sclerosis.
Fellow Forteith, 23, was determined to have MS when he was matured 16, and is wanting to raise £20,000 towards the new treatment, which he trusts will change his life.
Undifferentiated organisms can transform into a cell in the human body, thus can possibly help a wide range of conditions, including the neurodegenerative illness MS. Numerous exploration ventures are under approach to attempt to see how these cells could be connected to the treatment of MS.
Fellow, a vocalist lyricist and sound architect, arrangements to have numerous occasions raising money for his treatment, to be reported on his Facebook page, yet the principal gig, titled 'A Night of Music, Stem Cells for MS', is set for October 22 at Cuan Mor, Oban.
Fellow will play out his blues and shake, joined by Oban craftsmen Nicky MacInnes, Shannon Taylor and Moonshine Maggie, and musician Ralf Roeder from Germany. Tickets cost £7 at the entryway. Fellow included: 'If individuals can't make it to the show, they can give to my Just Giving page, fellow forteith-stemcells.
On a Sunday morning in May, Lucas Lindner took off in his pickup to get doughnuts for his grandma.
A deer kept running before his truck, which smashed, and he was tossed through the window.
The following thing he recalls that he was in the emergency unit Froedtert Hospital. He was not able move his arms or legs.
Specialists offered a fragment of trust: a trial treatment for as of late harmed quadriplegics. They would infuse into his spine sensory system cells that had been produced using a line of embryonic foundational microorganisms made 18 years back.
Lindner, who fit the criteria for the clinical trial, energetically concurred.
Today, Lindner is one of a little gathering of late quadriplegics who have indicated change in the weeks in the wake of getting the treatment. He recaptured development in his fingers and arms. At that point, his huge toes. "Things began transforming," he said.
Whether the advance proceeds, whether it can authoritatively be ascribed to the treatment and whether it turns into a leap forward treatment stays to be seen.
Those positive things include Lindner, 22, who lives in Eden, and four other late quadriplegics from around the nation who got the cell infusions, including a second patient treated by specialists at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
A week ago, Asterias reported that every one of the five patients have demonstrated some change. For no less than two of the patients, the change was sufficient that they may recapture the capacity to perform every day exercises, for example, nourishing and dressing.
For Lindner, who has been concentrating on IT frameworks, the change has permitted him to recover the capacity to content and to utilize his iPad. He has recovered upper arm quality adequate to have the capacity to move out of his wheelchair to another seat.
All the more critically, the change is sufficient to permit him to seek after his objective of working in IT, he said.
He said he likewise has not surrendered the trust that he may walk one day.
Questionable occasions that prompted the clinical trial including Lindner and up to upwards of 34 other late quadriplegics started about 20 years back.
In the late 1990s, analysts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Johns Hopkins University initially detached the embryonic stem cells. The UW cells in the end would be utilized as a feature of the procedure to make the spinal string treatment that Lindner got.
In any case, inquire about in the field has been hindered when protests were raised to utilizing solidified incipient organisms to make undifferentiated organisms since it included the pulverization of developing lives. In 2001, President George W. Bramble put confines on the utilization of government assets to do embryonic undifferentiated organism inquire about, despite the fact that exploration was permitted to proceed on cell lines made before the limitations were set up.
In 2009, President Barack Obama lifted those limitations. From that point forward, preparatory research has been done utilizing cells got from embryonic immature microorganisms to regard visual deficiency and in addition spinal string wounds.
The spinal line trial includes the infusion of a kind of sensory system cell known as oligodendrocyte forebear cells. The cells, which were made from the UW embryonic immature microorganisms, have a few essential capacities, including shaping myelin. Myelin makes up a sheath around nerve cells, much like protection around electrical wires.
It can be harmed in spinal rope wounds and reestablishing it can nerve cells work better.
The spinal ropes of the patients in the trial were harmed however not disjoined, which regularly is the situation in the 17,000 individuals who endure spinal line wounds each year.
The hypothesis is that if the infused cells can re-shape myelin in enough nerve cells, the individual may recapture lost capacity, said Shekar Kurpad, the Froedtert/Medical College of Wisconsin spine specialist driving the trial here.
Each of the five patients who saw change got an infusion of 10 million cells. A second patient who got the treatment at Froedtert additionally has demonstrated huge change, Kurpad said.
For Lindner's situation, the infusion was done around four creeps underneath the base of the skull.
After around six weeks, change in his grasp was seen and it has proceeded.
"I've not seen this before," said Kurpad, who has worked in the field for over 10 years. "I'm a researcher. I'm incredulous. I truly trust this pattern proceeds.
Sanjay Dhall, a neurosurgeon at the University of California-San Francisco, said it bodes well to regulate the cells not long after the spinal line harm happens.
A great many people, on the off chance that they are going to enhance, for the most part do as such inside a couple days. A little number may keep on improving following a couple of weeks or months.
"The window to individuals closes," said Dhall, who was not included in the trial.
Different measures that can help recuperation from spinal string wounds incorporate forestalling drops in circulatory strain, which can compound harm to the spinal rope, and rapidly performing decompression spine surgery. The point of that sort of surgery is to evacuate broke bones that might push on the spinal string.
He said it was still too soon to know whether cell treatment will turn into a leap forward treatment, yet the utilization of the cells bodes well.
The study is being financed to a limited extent by a $14.3 million give from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
In January, the organization will give an account of the six-month viability of the treatment. It additionally is wanting to select another gathering of patients who will get twofold the measurements: 20 million cells.
Steve Cartt, CEO of Asterias, said more clinical trial work is arranged.
He said he didn't recognize what such a treatment would cost should it ever get endorsement from the Food and Drug Administration, despite the fact that a figure in the a huge number of dollars appeared to be sensible. The greater part of Lindner's healing center expenses were secured by the organization.
Individuals with Type 1 diabetes need to screen their glucose levels no less than four times each day, as indicated by Diabetes Self-Management's site. This implies pricking their finger with a spearing gadget and measuring their blood glucose level with a unique test strip and meter. Sooner rather than later, in any case, individuals experiencing diabetes or who had their pancreas expelled will not have to stress over checking their blood glucose levels constantly, because of stem cell investigate.
Specialists examined how medicinal associations have been moving in the direction of enhancing the lives of those with diabetes through undifferentiated cell treatment in Monday's HUBweek occasion "A Quantum Leap in Diabetes Treatment" at Harvard University.
The board, directed by WBUR's CommonHealth blog supervisor Carey Goldberg, was comprised of Douglas Melton, a co-executive of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute; Sayeed Malek, the clinical chief of transplant surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital; Peter Amenta, president and CEO of the Joslin Diabetes Center; Robert Millman, CEO of Semma Therapeutics; and Gordon Weir, the Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation seat at the Joslin Diabetes Center.
Melton clarified that in the lab, scientists have been making immature microorganisms that demonstration like beta cells, which are on the pancreas and discharge insulin. Diabetics and individuals who have had their pancreas expelled have faulty beta cells or no beta cells by any stretch of the imagination, so their bodies are not ready to create the appropriate measure of insulin to legitimately direct their glucose level.
Part of the trouble of transplanting immature microorganisms set up of beta cells into patients' bodies is that the invulnerable framework naturally battles outside bodies, so it is troublesome for the stem cells to be powerful. Moreover, undifferentiated organisms here and there frame little tumors.
"We need to demonstrate that these cells are focused on being beta cells," Millman said.
Melton said the main patients who can take an interest in clinical trials of stem cell treatment are the individuals who have had their pancreas evacuated. That way, the safe framework won't attempt to discredit the foundational microorganisms. He said that Type 1 diabetics most likely won't have the capacity to experience this treatment for another five or 10 years.
Boston is a one of a kind city, Melton said, in that there are a wide range of establishments progressing in the direction of development that can all team up and help each other research new medicinal headways.
Brock Reeve, the official chief of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, said he concurs that Boston is an extraordinary place to do look into in the life sciences.
"We're working inside the Boston biological system, where you have the other scholarly foundations, as well as you have speculators, biotech and pharma organizations," Reeve said.
Amenta said immature microorganism look into on diabetes could conceivably impact inquire about on different maladies, as well. Diabetes research could open ways to immature microorganism treatment for different infections, Reeve said.
Weir said that it has dependably been "fascinating" how much research has been done in the previous couple of decades on diabetes, which is such a far reaching sickness in any case straightforward.
In spite of the fact that it might be years before diabetics can profit by immature microorganism treatment, Millman is certain he and alternate scientists will make sense of a sheltered transplant strategy sooner rather than later.
AURORA, IL, UNITED STATES – Sep 24, 2016 – What is Arthritis?
All the more usually found in individuals more than 60, Arthritis is a condition that influences the joints of the body. Frequently a man encounters firmness, swelling and agony in the joints. Joint pain is one of around 100 unique sorts of joint inflammation, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid joint pain being the most widely recognized ones.
It is described by irritation in the joints, visit a throbbing painfulness, delicacy, trouble while strolling and standing, weight reduction and diminished adaptability. A man experiencing joint inflammation has awesome trouble in taking care of every day errands and for the most part should take more days off from work than different laborers because of incessant torment.
Surgery is the most widely recognized treatment for joint pain, albeit a few pharmaceuticals, for example, steroids are additionally accessible. Word related treatment can likewise help, however it relies on your condition. Numerous individuals fear surgery and some even say that after the surgery they encountered torment and irritation in the joints. Steroids can eventually bring about mischief if utilized for a really long time.
With the advance of innovation and medication, it is currently conceivable to treat joint inflammation utilizing undifferentiated organisms. Foundational microorganisms are generally acquired from the amniotic sac of sound human children. Stem cells help in recuperating the harmed tissue and they additionally fortify the insusceptible framework. Undifferentiated organisms can recharge themselves and create new cells. They battle sicknesses and there is to a lesser degree a possibility for any reactions. Inquire about has demonstrated that undifferentiated organisms can treat different ailments and youthful couples everywhere throughout the world are putting away their baby's umbilical strings so they can get to the stem cells if need be.
Can foundational microorganisms treat joint inflammation?
Undifferentiated cell treatment for curing joint inflammation was at that point tried on creatures and has been to a great degree fruitful. Specialists are currently utilizing it to regard joint pain as a part of people. The greatest favorable position of undifferentiated cell treatment is that dissimilar to with surgery; this methodology can be directed inside a day and there is insignificant downtime. Patients can come back to work inside only a day or two and they are spared from requiring significant investment from work. Surgery accompanies an expanded danger of contamination, however if there should arise an occurrence of undifferentiated organisms, patients don't need to stress over disease.
Prior one could get foundational microorganisms just from human umbilical rope, however now undifferentiated cells can likewise be acquired from the bone marrow of a sound individual and used to treat joint inflammation. Truth be told, undifferentiated cells acquired the patient's possess bone marrow can be utilized to treat the patient's infirmity. Along these lines, the specific cells which work in the bones are utilized to cure aggravation of bones and joints. Since these cells are from the patient's claim body, the danger of getting a contamination is negligible.
There are diverse methods for regulating foundational microorganisms in the body, specifically intravenous, intra nasal and by infusing them straightforwardly in the part of the body that should be repaired. Immature microorganisms likewise radically diminish the requirement for knee substitution surgery.
Treating joint inflammation by utilizing amniotic undifferentiated organisms is a non-obtrusive contrasting option to repair and reconstruct broken joints. Amniotic undifferentiated organisms can lighten torment coming from joint pain and return typical usefulness and versatility. On the off chance that you are thinking about surgery for joint torment or damage, first consider a conference for amniotic undifferentiated organism regenerative treatment. It might be a more secure, quicker and better alternative to repair and revamp your joints.

C-sections do not help heavy pregnant women. (Photo: Colourbox)
High risks for babies of obese mothers despite C-sections
Caesareans provide no reduction in risks of serious complications when very heavy women give birth.
Ingunn Karin Bendiksen
Published thursday 11. july 2013 - 05:00
Babies of very obese women run three or four times the risk of serious complications during their birth than babies of women with normal weights.
"C-sections are used worldwide to lower the risk of birth injury or illness among new-borns with morbidly obese mothers. But my research shows that the delivery method, whether it's vaginal or caesarean, is not a factor for these with regard to injuries to the child," says Chief Obstetrician Marie Blomberg, a researcher at Linköping University (LiU).
Her cohort study utilised the Swedish Medical Birth Registry records from 1998 to 2008, covering over a million women. Around 7,000 of these were deemed morbidly obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of over 40.
"As regards caesarean sections and the risk of injury to the mother, it's clearly higher because of general anaesthesia, possible infections in the incision, pulmonary embolisms, etc. But the study shows there are no scientific grounds for claiming the delivery method has an effect with regard to complications for the baby," asserts Blomberg.
Zero weight gain
Children of morbidly obese women run twice the risk of skeletal injuries, three times the risk of bacterial sepsis (blood poisoning), convulsions, respiratory problems and digestive problems. They also have four times the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and damage to the peripheral nervous system.
"The reasons for these problems aren't totally clear. But they can relate to the women's high levels of blood sugar. If the mother is large the baby will also be large. The basis for the infant's complications is founded during the pregnancy, but in some cases it is directly related to the birth itself."
"When very obese women have a C-section, the path from the abdomen to the uterus and the child is longer than the birth canal," explains the obstetrician at the Women's Clinic of the University Hospital in Linkøping.
How can the odds be improved for the mother and child in such cases?
"The goal for such obese women should be zero or at least minimal weight gain during the pregnancy. Then some of the risks of injury, to both mother and child, can be halved. The child's chances can be improved even more if the mother manages to reduce her weight prior to the pregnancy," says Blomberg.
More deaths due to obesity
According to Statistics Norway, a quarter of all Norwegians over the age of 16 were overweight in 2008. The share of overweight Norwegians has risen by seven percent in the past decade.
"According to the World Health Organization, fatness and obesity are linked to more deaths now than starvation. Our weight gain of seven percent is not good, but we are better off than Sweden (gain of 11 percent) the UK (25 percent) and the USA, which tops the list. The Nordic countries are rather fortunate because we have followed developments and initiated countermeasures," says Blomberg.
Her research has earlier shown that morbidly obese women often haemorrhage more after a birth because the uterus doesn't contract as it should. Medical treatment should be given to avert this.
"Now I'm looking more into dosages of medications with regard to body weight. Should we giving the same doses of folic acid or IV fluids during delivery of a baby to a woman whether she weighs 50 or 100 kilos?
"I suspect that we should do the same for adults as with children – base dosages on their weights. I'm concerned about this group of pregnant women and want to give both them and their new-borns optimal prospects," concludes Blomberg.

Few opt for caesareans
Norwegian women are not too posh to push. Most wish to give birth vaginally. Those who request caesarean sections have good reasons to do so.
Pregnant women are often vitamin D deficient
Over one in four fair-skinned women near the end of their pregnancies definitely need more vitamin D. Researchers think that percentage might be even higher.
Pregnant women with pets have more vaginal E. coli
Intestinal bacteria from dogs and cats appear to colonise pregnant women's vagina, which can increase the risk of e.g. urinary tract infections. This may be caused by the bacteria travelling from the animal via the woman's hands to her vagina.

Her Husband Charged Her Family $25 a Head for a Cookout and She Returned the Money. Did She Go Too Far?
Matt Gilligan
I think it's a little bit weird to charge people to come to a cookout, don't you?
But you know how people are…they're weirdoes!
Check out this story from Reddit's "Am I the A**hole?" page and let us know what you think in the comments.
AITA for returning the money my husband took from my family for attending our cookout?
"For context: My f28 husband m33 comes from a wealthy family and he himself has inherited a number of assets from his relatives. One of them is this huge house (where we live right now) with a pool and a huge backyard with lots of features.
We decided to host our first cookout after we got married (7 months ago) and we invited both his and my family. That was on friday, both families came and we had lots of fun then everyone went home later.
I then got a phone call from mom and she didn't sound okay. She asked wether or not my husband took money from his family before they attended the cookout. I was confused I asked what she was talking about and she told me that my husband charged every single person from my side of family who attended the event $25 dollars.
I was utterly shocked and very angry and felt like this has legitimately damaged my relationship with most of my family because, almost all of them came over. not just that, but he got $275 dollars from them.
I was so livid I hung up the phone and confronted him immediately. He told me my family got to "enjoy" the space and view and said that I should think of it as a "resort" cookout since this house has lots of luxuries. I told him it was a horrible thing for him to do and that what made it worse is the fact the his family didn't pay like mine had to.
He laughed then reminded me that his family gave him this house. I demanded he give the money back but he said no and that he won't even give it to me since the house is technically his.
I went and took the money and gave everyone who paid their money back with a sincere apology from me. My husband found out and flipped out at me calling what I did an overstepping and disrespectful.
I told him he shouldn't have taken money from my family for being guests at our house, but he corrected me saying it's his house and said that he'd bet my family had never got to attend a cookout at a house like this and that it was just $25 dollars but I disrespected him and went behind his back and took money that wasn't mine.
We stopped talking after this argument and he keeps venting to his mom about me taking "his" money that he earned his own way."
Take a look at how Reddit users reacted.
One person said that this woman's husband sounds like the world's biggest a**hole.

And this reader made a good point about how some people get rich…
Another Reddit user said she's NTA and they've never heard of anything like this before.

Toward an Antiracist Rhet/Comp (McIntyre, M.)
By Jianfen Chen, Sarah Hughes and Nupoor Ranade on July 6, 2021
Name: Megan McIntyre
Course level: Graduate
Course title: Toward an Antiracist Rhet/Comp
Course description: Though writing studies as a specific discipline is somewhat new, it traces its roots back to the rhetorical education of the ancient world, from Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers/teachers to Chinese, East Asian, African, and Indigenous literacy practices. This course begins by examining both these ancient foundations and the more contemporary origins of the discipline, with a specific emphasis on what foundations are necessary for an antiracist discipline. We will also investigate how contemporary rhetorical and critical theory (including critical race theory, feminist theory, and cultural studies rhetorics) intersect with contemporary pedagogies and approaches (especially antiracist writing pedagogy, postpedagogy, and critical pedagogy), with a specific emphasis on asset-based teaching and antiracist classroom practices. Finally, we will grapple with what equity-based, asset-based, and antiracist classrooms look like in practice.
Course philosophy/motivation: "This is a course that serves two sometimes overlapping populations: TAs teaching first-year writing courses and MA students in the Rhetoric and the Teaching of English track of our English MA program who are likely about to propose their thesis project. The syllabus works to serve these two groups by working thematically and assigning just two kinds of out-of-class assignments: synthesis papers and a culminating project that can really be anything a student proposes. We also do habitual in-class work that's mean to support students new to the discipline; this work includes weekly additions to a class glossary and a key quotes document. The course begins with some texts that frame the discipline then we move to histories (both historical rhetorics and composition history). The second half of the class focuses on asset-based and antiracist pedagogy and practice."

Q: UTF8 Character Encoding Error I'm currently outputting a long string through powershell as unicode using the below syntax (reference for doing it this way):
$string | out-file $path -encoding unicode

If I try to import this file in mongo, or another process that can't read UTF8 characters, I get an "Invalid UTF8 character detected."  Is this the incorrect syntax?

A: Unicode is not the same encoding as Utf8. Have you tried -encoding ASCII or -encoding Utf8?

Nigeria's Anam Imo opens Swedish Damallsvenkan goal account for Rosengard
Samuel Ahmadu
The Nigerian helped the Jonas Eidevall's side return to winning ways with her first goal in Sweden
Anam Imo scored her first Swedish Damallsvenkan goal in Rosengard's 2-0 win over Faith Ikidi's Pitea at Malmo IP on Wednesday.
Jonas Eidevall's ladies were smarting from their first defeat of the season at Limhamn Bunkeflo.
After a goalless first half, Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd broke the deadlock six minutes after the restart.
In the 78th minute, the former Nasarawa Amazons star replaced Anja Mittag and struck in the 85th minute to guarantee her side's victory over the holders.

On the other hand, compatriot Ikidi lasted the entire period of the encounter on her sixth appearance for fifth-placed Pitea.
The win takes Rosengard to the summit of the log on goal difference with 13 points and they will face second-placed Linkoping on May 20.
