A collaborative project with Scott DeWaard of Walland, TN.
Scott made the case units with the intarsia vines along the bases, and I did the carved panels. We worked in our own studios and brought our pieces for installation at the All Saints Catholic Church in Knoxville TN. It is placed in the Marian Chapel. You can see the progress of the carving part of the three panels in this 8 min. video .
Left panel: Young Mary with her toddler son, Jesus.
Materials: Case: oak (solid and veneers), figured maples, mahogany, wenge, lighting. Carvings: basswood, alder, oak veneered panels, acrylic paints, glazing, transfer gold leaf.
The Lotus is one of my favorite aquatic flowers. It has been venerated in ancient cultures where it thrived ; Ancient Egypt and the Indian subcontinent to name a few. Carving organic forms, especially the delicacy of flowers, lends a challenge to my interpretations in wood as a material. This project employs both low and 'medium' relief carving as in the upper and lower panels, and in-the-round (3-D) carving as in the two flowers. A great project that met the clients wishes.
Matching the Demi-lune with mirror, this wall coat rack has been the beginning of many linen fold projects; replicated at times ( not identically, of course) and an element of design requested by several clients.
Pythons grow to be several feet in beautiful colorful lengths. The patio and pergola where this emerald ten-feet creature hangs is luxuriant in greenery; creeping vines, orchids, succulents and shading trees ….. occasionally some humans do enjoy it's company!
I will add a few in-progress pics. on FB. It was quite a process where, as always, I learned a lot.


Be proactive: remove fallen trees from laneways, and trim back encroaching branches so help can get to you. Post your 911 civic address on the end of your dock if you are water-access.
Designate a smoking area at the cottage. All you need is a deep sand- or water-filled can for butts outside and good-sized ashtrays with stable bases. No butts or matches in the planters, please; these can contain peat moss, shredded wood, and bark that can ignite.


Balustrade installation left to the last moment is not a good idea!
Ladies and gentlemen! Glass balustrades are part of the structure and need to be thought of as such.
Would you finish your building and then add a structural beam? Would you finish the wall and then think about adding an opening? The same reasoning needs to be given to the balustrade. Think about it early and get it correctly designed and incorporated into your building.
We love to help, and we love to get involved in the details, be it through you direct, the architect, builder, structural engineer or whoever is running the technical side of your project. We have many solutions available, all of which use our standard elements and keep the costs reasonable. But - and this is an important 'but' -we need to be involved early and be able to help influence the implementation.
Here are five useful tips on or when thinking about having glass balustrades on your property.
Each system has to be implemented differently, some will require posts, some will not. Some may need to be fixed to the walls etc.
Allows the company to program in the works in accordance with your requirements and saves you having unnecessary delays that hold up completion, building sign off or similar.
Strengthening the points where the balustrade fixes to the building.
Easy access to the structure it needs to fix to, before screed, insulation, decking etc has obstructed access.
Water proofing can be done over the posts, saving years of trouble of potential water leaks.
Base plates and fixings remain hidden and under floor level.
What guarantees does the product you choose carry?
Take time to check that the balustrade you choose suits the location it will be installed in, what guarantees are offered?
Take time to go have a look at a similar balustrade that has been installed in a similar location, see how it has fared the elements and satisfy yourself that it will perform as specified. The advantages of doing this are obvious and allow you to weed out unsuitable products or companies.
Having tinted or clear glass, opaque, with or without a protective or self-cleaning (hydrophobic) coating, these are important considerations and the environment, location and view are part of the decision process. If for instance you are in an exposed costal location you would certainly want to apply a hydrophobic protective layer on your glass to prevent, or reduce salt damage and build up, this is just one example of many options on glass.

Is this what a police state looks like? Was there national collusion between Feds and cities to evict the occupy movement?
by Source on November 18, 2011 · 11 comments
in American Empire, Civil Disobedience, Civil Rights, Popular
By Dave Lindorff / Nation of Change / November 17, 2011
The ugly hand of the federal government is becoming increasingly suspected behind what appears to be a nationwide attempt to repress and evict the Occupation Movement.
Across the country in recent days, ultimatums have been issues to groups occupying Portland, OR, Chicago, IL, San Francisco, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, [editor: don't forget San Diego] and most recently New York, NY, where the Occupation Movement began on September 17. The two most recent eviction efforts, in Oakland and New York, have been the worst.
The police attacks have had a lot in common. They have been "justified" based upon trumped up pre-textural claims that the occupiers are creating a health hazard, or a fire hazard, or a crime problem, generally on little or no evidence, or there has been a digging up of obscure and constitutionally questionable statutes, for example laws outlawing the homeless. Then the police come in, usually in dead of night, dressed in riot gear and heavily armed with mace weapons, batons, plastic cuffs and tear gas, or even assault rifles in some cases and so-called flash-bang stun grenades–all weapons to be used against peaceful demonstrators.
So violent has been the response that some returned veterans have condemned the police for using weapons and tactics that are not even permitted by occupying troops in war-torn countries.
"We definitely feel, especially in a movement like this that has arisen so quickly in a number of cities, that there will be a coordinated national effort to try and shut it down," says Heidi Bogosian, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild, which has been playing a key role providing legal services to the new movement.
"We see the scapegoating of these movements, the attacks at night, and in general tactics designed to terrorize and to scare protesters away. I can't see this as anything other than centrally coordinated."
One indication of that coordination may have been a conference call among 18 city mayors which was confirmed by Oakland Mayor Jean Quan in a radio interview on San Francisco station KALW. Dan Siegel, an Oakland attorney who worked as an advisor to Quan, but who resigned in disgust after Oakland police and law enforcement personnel from a number of surrounding jurisdictions brutally drove occupiers there out of their park using tear gas, supposedly non-lethal ammunition (bean bags and rubber bullets) and flash-bang grenades in a night-time raid in the early hours of November 14, says that phone conference call took place, significantly, while Quan was in Washington, DC.
Shortly afterwards, on Oct. 25, Quan authorized the first brutal police assault on Occupy Oakland. It led, among other things, to the critical wounding of Scott Olsen, an Iraq War veteran who was among the protesters, and was hit in the forehead by a police tear gas cannister fired at close range.
Who organized that critical conference call? Was it Quan or one of the other mayors, or was it someone in the federal government? Siegel says he doesn't know, and Quan isn't saying.
But both Siegel and Boghosian say they strongly suspect federal involvement in the planning of the recent spate of police violence against occupiers. Says Siegel, "It's only logical to assume that the 'Fusion Centers' are involved, especially after the Oakland occupiers shut down the port in Oakland."
Some72 Fusion Centers , located around the US and funded by the US at a cost of half a billion dollars, are a post 9-11creation of the new Homeland Security Department. Bringing the FBI together with local law enforcement departments, they both collect and share domestic intelligence, and can serve as command centers to direct local law enforcement in helping implement national law enforcement goals. There are also many Joint Terrorism Task Forces, which directly link the FBI with urban police departments.
Says Boghosian, "What we are seeing here is the Miami model, with various levels of law enforcement, local, state and federal, all at work. It would be shocking if federal law enforcement were not seeing this occupy movement now as a national security threat."
Mara Veheyden-Hilliard, co-chair of the National Lawyers Guild's National Mass Defense Committee, based in Washington, agrees. "These crackdowns on the occupation movement certainly appear to be part of a national strategy to crush them," she says. "We haven't yet found overt evidence of federal involvement, but the fact that in rapid succession local authorities have taken action raises the specter of coordination."
She adds, "There is absolutely no legal justification for the involvement of the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in this movement. These demonstrations are not terrorist activities, and police should not be treating them as such, yet all over the country the police are treating the protesters as if they are criminals. The similarity of the response everywhere to the movement makes it appear that there is a coordinated strategy."
Meanwhile, Siegel, now back in private practice, says that since the riots that followed the killing of Oscar Grant by a BART transit cop, who shot Grant fatally in the head after he had been arrested, subdued and handcuffed for a turnstile jumping violation, federal law enforcement officials have been observed actively involved in police activities in the Oakland area.
Some Oakland residents have reported seeing federal vehicles and possibly also National Guard equipment during the police actions against occupation demonstrators, too, though National Guardsmen can only be legally activated by a governor, and California Gov. Jerry Brown, a former mayor of Oakland, has not publicly issued any such order.
Rick Ellis, a journalist with the Minneapolis office of the news outlet Examiner.com, is reporting that an unidentified US Justice Department official has confirmed what Boghosian, Siegel and Veheyden-Hilliard say they suspect is the case: that each of the recent brutal police evictions and attacks on occupation groups "was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies."
Ellis writes, "According to this official, in several recent conference calls and briefings, local police agencies were advised to seek a legal reason to evict residents of tent cities, focusing on zoning laws and existing curfew rules. Agencies were also advised to demonstrate a massive show of police force, including large numbers in riot gear. In particular, the FBI reportedly advised on press relations, with one presentation suggesting that any moves to evict protesters be coordinated for a time when the press was the least likely to be present."
According to an AP story published early Wednesday, mayors and city leaders in as many as 40 cities were communicating about coordinating an attack on the occupy movement. Again, this hardly seems like it was on their own initiative.
Given how things have played out, it certainly looks like the suspicions were correct, and that Ellis's source is telling the truth.
President Obama has a lot to answer for. So do the mayors who have been overseeing the repressive operations locally.

Let's see- NYPD cleared the air space of news helicopters, confined journalists to a designated bull pen & arrested those who didn't comply on the night of the raid. (Throwing books from the OWS library onto an immense heap of personal belongings added just the right Fahrenheit 451 touch) Churches have offered to house Occupiers routed from Liberty Plaza and the police have been entering the churches and monitoring what is happening there. http://thinkprogress.org/tag/99-percent-movement

I think that the protesters need to learn the difference between a request and a demand:
A request is (a) asserting a need respectfully and (b) tolerating responses like "No," "Not now," "Maybe," and/or "I don't know." A demand is asserting disrespectfully and/or not tolerating any of these responses. Demands usually imply or describe consequences, and may imply "My needs are more important than yours right now (I'm 1-up). This can cause hurt, resentment, anger, antagonism, and/or anxiety, which all block effective communication.
Some threats can feel like demands with vague or implied painful consequences. Demands imply the speaker is unaware or overwhelmed, not able to problem-solve, and may be ruled by a false self.

Gee, haven't we been through all this before? The last big episode had CIA agents snooping around OB trying to disrupt and provoke what was happing then. Remember the GOP convention was supposed to be in San Diego? How did that work out for them.We have to expect the 1% to throw every trick in the book at us. They will not give up their power easily. Just watch your backs and don't be goaded into any thing dumb. It's a long way back from felony convictions. That is what is coming after the frackus is over. No violence toward people or property.
Chuck Cantwell November 18, 2011 at 6:16 pm
The number 1 job of Government is to sustain itself at ALL costs! Serious crimes have been committed by Banksters, the Fed, and political figures, elected and appointed, of BOTH dysfunctional "Parties" and the corporate Media . This is putting the whole power structure under a microscope and we don't like what we are seeing…and some of us are in heavy denial. Hey, protect and serve the rich, they stole your and your kids money too, are you brainwashed?

The Occupy movement is starting to adopt an anti-corruption platform that will garner much more respect. An Occupy member's page http://owwc.gu.ma , supporting a business owner who lost millions of dollars and his civil rights to a corrupt officials and a judge who made threats of death and use of the combined forces of the U.S. military seems to illustrate this.

The ugliness in Oakland has a local connection, none other than the FBI target Marco Li Mandri, owner of New City America:

Thank you Dorothy. That's great link re: Oakland. And implication that Business Improvement Districts may be the ones actually calling the shots is indeed very scary. (Hint to reporters–there might be a story here)

You are welcome. Here are some nifty pix of Li Mandri and the Oakland business gang:

And here is a perfect record in Oakland of exactly the kind of conflict of interest that Li Mandri was investigated for in San Diego:

Intent to Distribute | Swango Law P.C.
Charges reflecting "intent to distribute" carry with them harsher punishments compared to possession charges. What do accused individuals need to know about their basic rights and how the courts will treat such charges? Your best source of information is your Virginia Beach Criminal Defense Attorney. The prosecution may try to use evidence against you to show you possessed intent to distribute, through two categories of evidence: evidence of quantity and evidence of packaging.
Logically speaking, it makes sense for law enforcement to seek evidence of packaged drugs, materials used for breaking or "cutting" drugs into smaller quantities for sale, large sums of cash, and scales. Therefore, all of the facts that pertain to your case related to packaging found in your possession are critical to remember and keep records of. Keeping such evidence out is what your Norfolk Defense Lawyer is tasked with; just one of his many jobs.
What do the cases tell us in Virginia? A single "retail" package of heroin is not enough to find an accused person guilty of intent to distribute, however, numerous capsules – specifically in one case, 71 – is adequate to find intent. One defendant was found to possess intent to distribute based on evidence of possession of merely five "nickel bags" of marijuana. (See, Colbert v. Com).
A common thread you may see emerge – if you are one to study criminal law – is that often, cases turn on pivotal facts. Having an experienced, wise, and seasoned counsel analyze your facts and employ the most effective tactics can provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.


INSIDE OUT	No ratings yet.
Though animated films from Pinocchio on have always given sly winks to adult audiences, this became particularly widespread in the mid-nineties. By the time Shrek was released in 2001 audiences of all ages were gravitating to what was essentially an adult film containing many allusions kids couldn't begin to fathom.
Striking a balance between a film that will draw kids and one that will also appeal to the adults accompanying them is not an easy task but Inside Out, produced by Pixar Studios and released by Disney Pictures succeeds in doing just that.
When I was informed that my neighborhood would be without power from 8 AM to 3 PM, I decided to go to a matinee and wait it out in an air-conditioned theater. I purveyed the title of films I'd already seen and those I had no desire to ever see before purchasing a ticket for Inside Out.
Riley and her parents relocate to another city, something with which Riley has difficulty coping, especially when the emotional mechanisms in her brain undergo a glitch causing a huge change in her behavior. All of the actors voicing the emotions are comics who add just the right flavor to the excellent script written by Peter Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen. There is a particularly funny scene in which the audience is privy to the inner workings of the brains of Riley's mom and dad.
The visuals are exciting so the film moves quickly and succeeds in engaging viewers under the age of twelve as well as their parents and grandparents. And the message one takes away from the film is as valid for adults as for children. The goal at first is to keep Riley happy, a goal orchestrated by Joy. Her Sadness emotion is sulky and pretty much dismissed by the others until it is discovered that without the occasional presence of sadness we cannot fully appreciate joy.
My emotional state was definitely a positive one when I left the theater and I would highly recommend this film to adults and children alike.

As a creative writer with published poems and short nonfiction I embolden students' innovation in their critiques of literature. Throughout my career my specialization in writing has insured students' achievements in College and AP Composition as well as IB Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essays. Much of my teaching in China has been of ESL subjects. Chinese students in my classes scored highly on the IELTS speaking test. Similarly, Chinese students I taught excelled on IB English B assessments.
From 2011 until 2016 I taught and advised at international secondary programs in China. Completion of four online graduate programs while in China advanced my proficiency with educational technologies and discernment of curricular requirements. I recently earned a Master of Science degree in Academic Advising and heightened my acumen with educational policies and regulations; the program enhanced my aptitudes with developmental and learning theories. As a teacher I have utilized content from multidisciplinary studies of the global environment to facilitate students' acquisition of broad knowledge bases. At first dismissive, administrators in Rui'an soon appreciated the addition of U.S. History to their international high school program's curriculum; undergraduate honors studies of civilizations from Sumer to the present that strengthened my advocacy for the course also aided its successful implementation. Evocative of revisualizations of the cultural confluences in international education, literary pursuits prompted my exploration of China's universities between 2006 and 2009.
Career preparation in three undergraduate posts aided my adaptation to the conditions I encountered at public and private educational institutions throughout China. Cooperation with colleagues and personal consultations with students have proven vital to my success as an educator. Engagement with communities beyond work brought me greater comprehension of and appreciation for the economic and social situations of the individuals and communities education should serve. Narrative advising of a wealthy Chinese high school student in Shanghai stirred his interest in how his family's entitlements influenced his perception of those less fortunate. Encouraged, the student walked through low-income areas I frequented and subsequently he volunteered to assist the poor with household chores and raise money for scholarships. At U.S. universities I found special fulfillment in my work with traditionally underserved groups; the zeal an urban mother and rural youth contributed to discussions inspired me. Diversity among students enriched my classrooms and enhanced my teaching.

Challenges in trauma resuscitation: A systematic review p. 43
Aref Ismael Arrowaili
DOI:10.4103/ijas.ijas_1_17
Introduction: Trauma resuscitations are complicated, high-risk, and time-sensitive actions that need the coordination of different specialists arriving from multiple areas in the hospital. This systematic review aimed to understand the main key challenges of trauma resuscitations using a broad search in various database. Methods: A systematic review of published articles between the year 2000 and 2016 were conducted using different electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Medline, Embase, and Scopus to identify studies evaluating trauma resuscitations challenges. Different keywords were used in this study to recognize relevant articles. The titles of all articles were scanned in the first stage. Irrelevant articles were omitted and the abstracts of the rest articles were reviewed in the second stage. Finally, the full text of all articles which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed and a data extraction sheet was made to summarize all the articles. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: Twenty five studies were reviewed including; RCT (3 studies), QRCT (5 studies), and descriptive study (17 studies). The results showed that there are four main trauma resuscitation challenges including pre-hospital challenges, error-related challenges, equipment and technical challenges, and finally general challenges. Conclusions: Trauma resuscitation is one of the most critical aspects of emergency care. It is necessary to promote resuscitation care and focus on patient outcomes in terms of mortality and more importantly, functional outcomes. Considering these main factors affecting trauma resuscitation will improve patients' outcomes and help those who are engaged in providing services.

Waleed Abdulaziz Alrashed
DOI:10.4103/ijas.ijas_24_16
Purpose: To increase the awareness of eye health care providers about Work related musculoskeletal disorders and proper ergonomics. Method: Literatures review of all aspect of work related musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomics pertaining to heath care in general and particularly to eye care providers. Results: Work related Musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD's) among health care workers including Physicians, nurses, dental hygienist, and Custodial worker are well known. In the last two decades WRMSD's and related problems have being substantiated by different studies on the above mention groups, and in particular Ophthalmologists along with dentists and some surgical subspecialties (Laparoscope surgeons and Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeons). It was attributed to the specific nature of the job which requires prolonged awkward position and repetition. In these series of four articles will try to highlight the most important areas where health care providers especially the ophthalmologist should take care and aware of to prevent or at least reduce the WRMSD's. These areas involve: in the work and outside of work activities and include: (A) Clinic: The proper way of conducting slit lamp examination with or without the use of different lenses. How to perform direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes with the least stressful way to cervical and lumbar spine (will be covered in part 2 of this review). (B) Work station and office: How to set in proper way and how to select ergonomic and comfortable chair, tables, mouse, keyboard, screen and foot rest (will be covered in part 2 of this review). Also computer vision syndrome (will be discussed in part 4 of this review). (C) Operating room: Tips in how to adjust surgeon chair, microscope, and operating table to achieve the best ergonomic position. Also hints in the proper way of selecting and using surgical loupes (will be covered in part 2 of this review). (D) Outside the Hospital: Advises in the proper way of using portable visual display devices (smart phones and tablets etc…) along with hints on how to sit while driving and how to sleep with the least stress to the back and neck(will be covered in part 3 of this review). Conclusion: Adopting a healthy neutral posture and along with the comply of basic ergonomics principles in different areas of ophthalmic works early in the medical career (i.e. Residency) along with maintaining regular muscles stretches and exercise will reduce those unwanted Musculoskeletal squeals and hopefully leading to prolonged and productive healthy career life.
Numerical study of natural convection and radiation exchange in an asymmetrically heated inclined channel p. 64
Shafqat Hussain
Introduction: In this paper, numerical study is carried out to investigate natural convection and radiation heat transfer in an asymmetrical heated inclined air channel with open ends. The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved using a commercial computational fluid dynamics solver ANSYS-FLUENT© in conjunction with the discrete ordinate radiation model. Simulations were run considering the channel with inclination angle to horizontal in the range 18° to 45° and a wall surface emissivity of 0.27–0.95. The channel length to channel space ratio was selected in the range 44–220. A uniform heat flux in the range 100–500 W/m2 was applied along the upper wall of the channel while the lower wall and side walls were assumed thermally insulated. Results: Temperature profiles along the upper and lower walls of the channel were obtained with variations in the channel length to space ratios, angles of inclination, radiation emissivity, and input Ohmic heat flux. The effect of various parameters on the maximum wall temperature and heat transfer was investigated. The numerical predictions are validated by comparison with the experimental data available in literature. Conclusion: The numerical results obtained are found in good agreement with the experimental measurements. From the numerical results, a correlation of local and average Nusselt number with modified channel Rayleigh number in the range of 101–105 is developed at asymmetric heat flux boundary conditions.

Overstable convection in a double-diffusive, salt-stratified system heated from below p. 75
Karim Alwani Choubani, Mohammed Abdulrahman Almeshaal
Introduction: The salt-stratified solution destabilized by bottom heating is a double-diffusive system, which is characterized by conditions similar to those found in salt gradient solar ponds. Although many of its features are well understood, controversy still exists concerning the mechanisms responsible for the growth of the first mixed layer. This growth strongly influences overall system performance. The solar pond is a complex system that is coupled to ambient conditions and where several different inputs can destabilize the stratification. This complexity cannot be reflected in the idealized analytical description of the mixing mechanisms. In spite of these difficulties, the experimental description seemed necessary. Our objective is to make a laboratory scale flow visualization experiments using shadowgraph, to understand the occurrence of overstability and the layer motion in a simulated solar ponds. Laboratory experiments were made to investigate further the stability and occurrence of convective regimes, as a function of density and heat constraints. Methodology: In this paper, the overstable convection in a linearly salt-stratified system with a free surface and heated from below at constant temperature is studied. In the experimental studies, almost the same conditions and same stability parameter that we can find in a real salt-stratified solar pond was considered. Results: It is found that the oscillatory motion appeared in the bottom of the stratification seems to be the main mechanism responsible for the growth of the first mixed layer which strongly influences overall system performance. Conclusion: In this work, the onset and the development of the first mixed layer were studied for small stability parameter Λ. No investigation has been performed, to our knowledge, regarding the occurrence of overstability for small values of Λ.
The impact of social media volume and addiction on medical student sleep quality and academic performance: A cross-sectional observational study p. 80
Saad Mohammed Al Suwayri
Problem Statement: Social media use may be detrimental to sleep quality, self-esteem, and mental health and may affect academic performance in medical students. However, the effects of problematic social media use on sleep quality and academic performance in medical students are unknown. Approach: A total of 170 medical students in a Saudi Arabian medical school were studied. The relationships between social media use volume (duration of use per day) and addiction (measured using the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale) of seven platforms and (i) quality of sleep measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and (ii) academic performance according to the grade point average were examined. Caffeine intake was considered as a potential confounder, and data were analyzed using uni- and multi-variable logistic regression. Results: Poor quality sleep (72.9% and 63.5% during the week or at the weekend, respectively) and social media addiction (27.1% addicted to three or more platforms) were common. Individuals with high-volume WhatsApp (odds ratio [OR] 1.59 [1.20–2.10], P = 0.001) and Snapchat (OR 1.41 [1.10–1.81], P = 0.007) use were more likely to have very poor sleep quality at the weekend, the latter persisting in multivariable analysis. Students who were addicted to Snapchat (OR 2.53 [1.03–6.22], P = 0.044) or who were addicted to three or more social media platforms (OR 2.93 [1.19–7.23], P = 0.019) had an even greater risk of very poor weekend sleep quality. Social media addiction was not associated with academic performance. Conclusions/Recommendations: Educational programs on sleep and social media hygiene and changes to class start times to prevent weekend sleep debt should be considered.

Khalid Alnemer, Ibrahim Alhomood, Omalkhaire Alshaikh, Mohammed Arafah, Faisal Alanazi, Shorook Alherz, Wael Al Mahmeed, Abdullah Shehab, Omer Al Tamimi, Mahmoud Alawadhi, Ali T Al-Hinai
Background: A subanalysis of the Centralized Pan-Middle East Survey on the undertreatment of hypercholesterolemia (CEPHEUS) was done to establish the factors associated with worse control of hypercholesterolemia (HC) in Saudi Arabia. Methods and Results: CEPHEUS (NCT01031277) was a multicenter survey conducted in six Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman) between November 2009 and July 2010. Male and female patients aged ≥18 years on lipid-lowering drugs for ≥3 months (stable medication for ≥6 weeks) were recruited. At the study visit, investigators completed a questionnaire (experience and perception of the management of HC), patients completed a questionnaire (awareness of HC, current treatment schedule and perception, compliance), and patient fasting serum samples were collected to measure lipid profile. For the purpose of this subanalysis, patients were categorized as Saudi or non-Saudi. Multivariate analysis of the data showed that diabetes, obesity, and high waist circumference are associated with worse control of HC in Saudi Arabia. The lipid profile showed worse control of all variables except high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Saudi patients on statins and fibrates for primary prevention were the highest low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievers. The positive predictors of achievement of LDL-C goals are age <40 years, absence of diabetes mellitus, nonsmoking status, compliance to medication, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <8%. Conclusion: This subanalysis establishes that diabetes, obesity, and high waist circumference age >40 years, smoking, HbA1c >8% are associated with worse control of HC in Saudi Arabia.
Olanzapine induced neutropenia: Rechallenging with olanzapine combined with lithium p. 94
Asem A Alageel, Eisha M Gaffas
Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic medication and a very effective treatment for schizophrenia. However, it is associated with third highest incidence of neutropenia among all antipsychotics, and this may limit its use. We present a case of a schizophrenic female who was successfully treated with olanzapine and lithium to enhance white blood cells after a history of neutropenia caused by olanzapine treatment. We briefly discuss the use of lithium in patients who were rechallenged with antipsychotic medications. This case study supports the use of lithium for olanzapine-induced neutropenia as a successful and safe strategy.
