Pneumonia or Atelectasis? Here's a trick to tell them apart
By Jon-Emile S. Kenny [@heart_lung]
"New York is cold, but I like where I'm living … There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening."
-Leonard Cohen
It's the end of December; we collectively reflect on the year that was and try to find our footing for the next. In the short winter days of 2016, it is unexceptional to find oneself atelectatic – collapsed, blundered, but easily recruited perhaps with some sun, a trip to California. Yet, distinguishing simple existential atelectasis from a socked-in, ruddy and coarse consolidation can be fraught with subtlety. For this knotty differential, a drive through the soaring expanses of Big Sur can cool one's innards providing both diagnosis and therapy. It is opportune, therefore, that the radiographic differentiation of atelectasis from consolidation became more objective in 2016.
As we are often left with a CT angiogram for pulmonary embolus [PE] to explain a patient's non-thromboembolic respiratory presentation, diagnostic assistance when contemplating the commonly noted 'atelectasis versus consolidation' provides long-desired cognitive relief. It is oft taught that, on a contrast-enhanced chest CT scan, atelectasis glows brighter than consolidation. In a terrific little study, Edwards and colleagues have put numbers to this teaching.
The authors analyzed about one year's worth of CT angiograms and included patients with area of lung which appeared consolidated or atelectatic. These lung regions had to be a minimum of 1 cm by 1 cm for at least 4 slices on the CT scan [1.25 mm cuts]. Very important exclusion criteria included: patients with malignancy, PE, pulmonary contusion/chest trauma, and CT not performed using 120 kilovolt (peak) imaging protocol.
The gold standard for the diagnosis of pneumonia included a clinical scoring system which assigned one point for each of the following: fever and/or cough, leukocytosis, antibiotic treatment for pneumonia, and documentation of pneumonia as discharge diagnosis. If 2 or more were met, the patient was considered to have pneumonia, if only 1 or less, then the patient was considered to have atelectasis. Patients clinically, and retrospectively parsed into having either atelectasis or consolidation then had their radiographic opacities compared in terms of Hounsfield Units [HU].
152 CT angiograms for PE [CTPA] were evaluated and 97 excluded for the following reasons: lack of non-aerated regions or non-aerated regions too small, PE, pulmonary contusion, respiratory motion artifact. 55 studies were included, 30 of which were deemed to have atelectasis and 25 to have pneumonia. In their protocol, the average HU attenuation of the ascending aorta was 221 in those with pneumonia and 258 in those with atelectasis. The HU attenuation of the main pulmonary artery was 283 and 298, respectively.
In those with atelectasis by the aforementioned, retrospective, clinical criteria, the average attenuation was 119 HU in the non-aerated lung regions of interest. In comparison, the average attenuation of non-aerated lung regions in those diagnosed with pneumonia was 62. The difference [119 versus 62] was statistically significant and confirmed the common teaching that atelectasis is brighter than consolidation.
The authors then went on to find helpful diagnostic cutoff values and found that < 92 HU predicted a 97% sensitivity and 85% specificity for pneumonia; that is, a 3% false negative rate and a 15% false positive rate for the diagnosis of pneumonia. The 'optimal' HU value for the diagnosis of pneumonia was < 85 HU which predicted a 90% sensitivity [i.e. 10% false negative rate] and 92% specificity [i.e. 8% false positive rate].
Studies like this make me smile, because they are simple, intuitive and clinically meaningful. I file them away with other studies that I wish that I had conceived. There are certainly reasons to pause here, however. Notably, there is some problem with their clinical prediction model for pneumonia in that the criteria are mechanistically linked. For example, 'pneumonia as a discharge diagnosis' is worth one point but it is clinically-uncommon having pneumonia as a discharge diagnosis without receiving at least a dose of antibiotics [it is important to highlight here that the authors make no distinction between bacterial and viral pneumonia or, conversely, causes of high attenuation that are not atelectasis]. In totality, however, their scoring system for pneumonia follows what most clinicians use inherently, so there is external validity here. It also falls in line with other clinical prediction scores utilized for pneumonia.
The authors astutely bring to our attention that the timing of contrast and attenuation of the ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery should be similar when comparing this study to others or to one's patient. Further, changing the peak kilovolt setting will alter the HU threshold between patients.
I also appreciate how the authors predict clinical settings in which using different HU diagnostic cutoffs may be more pertinent. For example, they mention that when the diagnosis of pneumonia cannot be missed, the higher HU [92] should be utilized – such patients may be those in the ED who are to be discharged without follow up, or those who are immunocompromised. In patients where clinical follow up is close, or cross-sectional in time [e.g. those being admitted], the lower HU threshold could be utilized.
While these cutoffs are useful, and putatively codify and objectify experience and/or anecdotal approaches to differentiating consolidation from atelectasis on the chest CT, like every other diagnostic test, these cutoffs must be nested within clinical context. I am imaging a patient with an imperceptible airway narrowing causing lower lobe atelectasis and post-obstructive pneumonia. Here, there may be very high HU from a predominant atelectatic event, yet with abrupt onset fevers, chills, productive sputum and leukocytosis, the patient's radiographic findings mustn't be held as sacrosanct.

Star Trek: Prometheus
The Root of All Rage
by Bernd Perplies & Christian Humberg
Across the Alpha Quadrant, opinion is turning against the Renao. A terrorist group, The Purifying Flame, is responsible for the destruction of starbases and colonies in the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and now the Empire screams for blood. It's up to the crews of the U.S.S. Prometheus and the I.K.S. Bortas to investigate and bring The Purifying Flame to justice, but can they complete their mission before the calls for vengeance overwhelm the situation, or will cooler heads ultimately prevail?
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the second book in the Star Trek: Prometheus trilogy, The Root of All Rage. We talk about the delicate relationship between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, bigotry and hate, mistreatment of people who are different, the situation back on Earth, Lwaxana Troi's role, Renao mythology, a surprise tie to a TOS episode, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.

Previous book (The Next Generation - Hardcover): All Good Things...
Next book (The Next Generation - Hardcover): Star Trek: Generations
Next book (The Next Generation - Published order): #31: Foreign Foes
Spoilers ahead for Q-Squared!
In all of his travels Captain Jean-Luc Picard has never faced an opponent more powerful that Q, a being from another continuum that Picard encountered on his very first mission as Captain of the Starship Enterprise. In the years since, Q has returned again and again to harass Picard and his crew. Sometimes dangerous, sometimes merely obnoxious, Q has always been mysterious and seemingly all-powerful.
But this time, when Q appears, he comes to Picard for help. Apparently another member of the Q continuum has tapped into an awesome power source that makes this being more powerful than the combined might of the entire Q continuum. This renegade Q is named Trelane -- also known as the Squire of Gothos, who Captain Kirk and his crew first encountered over one hundred years ago. Q explains that, armed with this incredible power, Trelane has become unspeakably dangerous.
Now Picard must get involved in an awesome struggle between super beings. And this time the stakes are not just Picard's ship, or the galaxy, or even the universe -- this time the stakes are all of creation...
I first read Q-Squared nearly twenty-three years ago, back when it was first published. I don't think it was the first Star Trek novel I ever read, but it was certainly the most well-loved. A gift from my aunt and uncle, Q-Squared became one of those novels that I would return to multiple times, re-reading every few years or so. My most recent re-read was last year for episode 190 of the Literary Treks podcast, and I was curious as to whether or not I would love the book as much as I did at the age of thirteen.
As it turns out, I need not have worried.
Q-Squared brings together the characters of Q and Trelane, the seemingly-omnipotent man-child from the TOS episode "The Squire of Gothos." Trelane was pretty obviously the inspiration for the creation of the Q character, so it makes sense to bring them together here. Trelane is just as out-of-control as he was in that classic episode, and Q is tasked with riding herd on him. However, it soon becomes apparent that Q is in over his head, and Trelane eventually amasses enough power to be a real threat to Q, as well as to the rest of the universe.
Q-Squared brings William Campbell's Trelane to the 24th century.
I think I loved the book so much as a kid because it hit all the right notes for me. I fell in love with Peter David's writing style, with his whimsical moments balanced perfectly against the deadly seriousness of the peril in the story. It is a very difficult balance to achieve, and Peter David managed to somehow strike just the right tone, with such disparate story elements as the extreme trauma experienced by William Riker of a parallel universe, tortured for decades at the hands of the Romulans, and some ridiculous over-the-top Q shenanigans such as the cast of Winnie the Pooh coming to life in the schoolroom of the Enterprise-D.
There are a few things that don't jive with a strict interpretation of canon Star Trek, but longtime readers of this site will know that I am pretty easy-going when it comes to those sorts of things. We all know that Star Trek novels are considered "non-canon," which means that at any given moment, a "canon" source (anything on television or in a film) can come along and wipe out from the continuity anything that the novels have established. Therefore, I didn't lose a lot of sleep when Voyager established that the Q don't tend to have children in the traditional sense, thereby making Q-Sqaured's assertion that Trelane is a Q child invalid. To me, a good story is a good story, whether or not it fits in with established continuity. And Q-Squared is certainly a good story.
Q finds himself in over his head in trying to deal with Trelane and asks Captain Picard for help.
As a young Star Trek fan, I distinctly remember seeing "The Squire of Gothos" very early in my life. Much like Q-Squared, I'm fairly certain it wasn't my first, but it was very close to it. The idea of a seemingly-omnipotent being really fascinated me, and the twist that he is just a child was really compelling and a great ending. This is a theme that Star Trek visits often: the idea of unlimited power in the hands of someone or something who is ultimately immature or child-like. Along with "The Squire of Gothos," I would contend that "Charlie X" and even the character of Q himself play with the idea of immaturity and omnipotence coupled together. Q-Squared continues this exploration quite expertly, giving Trelane ultimate power. His tantrum at the end of the novel when things ultimately don't go his way shows that he is still the immature and out-of-control youth we met in "The Squire of Gothos."
Q-Squared, in addition to being simply a damn good book, is incredibly funny as well, which should come as no surprise given who the author is. There are numerous character moments that are laugh-out-loud funny, while at the same time remaining a poignant and fascinating exploration of Q, Trelane, our TNG heroes, as well as numerous alternate universes. I remember as a young man being fascinated with all of the various universes (labelled as "tracks" in the novel) coming together and intermingling in this novel. A fun exploration of TNG and an interesting pairing of Q and Trelane make this one an absolute favorite that I will likely continue to return to for years to come.

Original Sin by David R. George III

Previous book (Deep Space Nine): Enigma Tales
Next book (Deep Space Nine): I, The Constable
At the end of 2385, in a significant shift of its goals from military back to exploratory, Starfleet sent Captain Benjamin Sisko and the crew of the U.S.S. Robinson on an extended mission into the Gamma Quadrant. Tasked with a years-long assignment to travel unknown regions, they set out to fulfill the heart of Starfleet's charter: to explore strange new worlds, and to seek out new life and new civilizations.
But now three months into the mission, their first contact with an alien species comes in the form of an unprovoked attack on the Robinson. With the ship's crew suddenly incapacitated, seventy-eight of the 1,300 aboard are abducted—including Sisko's daughter, Rebecca. But Rebecca had already been kidnapped years earlier by a Bajoran religious zealot, part of a sect believing that her birth fulfilled the prophecy of the arrival of the Infant Avatar. Does her disappearance now have anything to do with the harrowing events of the past? And for what purposes have these enemies taken Sisko's daughter and the rest of the missing?
Click here to watch my video review of Deep Space Nine: Gamma: Original Sin, or click play on the embedded video below!
A fascinating novel that serves to fill in a bit of the gap in the skipped years of the Deep Space Nine relaunch, while still progressing the story forward with Captain Sisko on the USS Robinson. We learn a lot about Ben and Kassidy's daughter, Rebecca, and the story sets the stage for (hopefully) more novels to come that explore this corner of the Trek universe! 4/5.

Q: MySql Event is not working with PHP I'm trying to delete a row in my table after 1 minute (for test) since it was inserted. In MySql, I found a way to do this, but it is not working.
The code:
// starting and getting the session ID
session_start();
$session = session_id();

// get the timestamp
$date = date_create();
$time = date_timestamp_get($date);

// create the timestamp with the variation of 1 minute
$time_check = $time + 1;

// inserting the session ID with the current time
$sql1 = "INSERT INTO $tbl_name(session, time) VALUES ('$session', '$time')";
$connect->query($sql1);

Until know, everything works fine.
After the code above, I'm trying the delete thing:
$sql2 = "DELETE FROM $tbl_name WHERE time < $time_check";
$connect->query($sql2);

I saw another approach in a tutorial (see it here). I was trying to understand the code above and also trying to see another option, like creating an event with MySql:
$sql2 = "CREATE EVENT clearSession
            ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 MINUTE
            DO DELETE FROM $tbl_name where session = $session";
$connect->query($sql2);

I would like to know where is the mistake.

The Moon Is My Home | .. N.O.H.A ..: Book Review: Shaymaa El-Gammal's "Ta2 Marbouta"
Book Review: Shaymaa El-Gammal's "Ta2 Marbouta"
Cute! That's the first thing that came to my mind when I grabbed Shaymaa El Gammal's "Ta2 Marbouta." Its design gave me an impression that the book is certainly a fun, different ride; small and colorful, yet very enjoyable to read. It's very rare that I find Arabic books with appealing illustrations that goes along the readings as well.
So, here's what I thought about the book after reading it cover to cover. Shaymaa managed to gather some of her personal life experiences, day-dreaming revelations, along with few interesting resolutions; reciting bits and pieces of what she believes in. It is quite shown that she gave her all and poured what she had in her heart to be able to write the chapters of this book. This book is her first experience in the world of publishing, however she's been writing for years now as a journalist in several magazines.
Every girl will definitely relate to a chapter or two. The book is light, and very easy-to-read. It's mostly written in slang Arabic, exactly like she talks in real life. With every page that you flip, you'll feel it screams out her character. Her aspects are revealed in every story, every thought, and every vision.
My personal favorite segment is called, "Sho'aa'a Nour" or "Ray of Light," expressing how a writer can feel sometimes when he/she can be consumed by their moods; how one can be stuck in a mental state of mixed feelings, not knowing what to write but few ramblings and subjective wishes.
Also, you'll notice that Shaymaa's writing style is daring and surprising. For example, She wasn't scared to narrate how she used to steal stuff from the library when she was a child, not realizing she did a bad deed in the first place of course, or how she gets jealous at her husband from the slightest incidents, like drinking a cup of cocoa that gives him warmth or sleeping on a pillow that may hold his head all night long.
You don't want to miss "Ta2 Marbouta." After you finish reading, you'll be surprised to realize how it would provide you with the exact push/energy you wish to receive from a close friend. I felt good vibes coming out of this book. Encouragement is what I gained when I read these words: "Try to focus and remember the times when you were truly happy. Indeed, you have some memories that help you stick with whatever makes you sense real joy. Do not be shy ever!" ~ A quote from "A'an M'ana Al-Sa'ada Athadath" or "Speaking of Happiness."
Book is looking good .

Technology opens up new ways to observe the dreaming brain.
❶Who knows, maybe you will manage to interpret one of these facts from the psychological point of view in your research paper on dreams.
Or how about even trying to find the source of a dream through dream interpretations but not knowing how to go about it? According to author, Dr. Today I am going to tell you what dreams are, why they are important to our lives, and how we can interpret what they mean. The origin of dreams is something that can be defined in 3 ways, psychologically, scientifically or theoretically depending on whom you talk to.
In this case I have chosen to share the psychological point of view from the people who study all about it, psychologists. There is a major chemical in our brains that is called acetylcholine, which is the center of the dream creation in the brain Lohff 1.
In addition to this chemical our 4 different types of brain waves control our bodily transition into sleep. The four types of brain waves are beta, alpha, theta, and delta Lohff 1. Each wave starts out fast then gradually slows down as one turns into another.
This is when our five stages of sleep set in Lohff 1. The first stage of sleep is the lightest and it lasts anywhere from thirty to forty minutes. As you progress into the second stage of sleep you are on the borderline of light sleep to deep sleep.
Once you are in the third and forth stages of sleep you are in your deepest sleep and are about to progress backward through all of the sleep stages again. After starting back at your first sleep stage you enter the REM sleep stage. In addition to learning more slowly psychologists have also found that REM sleep can also help aid brain development in infants Lohff 2.
Many people state that they do not dream because they cannot remember, but you always dream when you reach REM sleep though you may not always remember it Lohff 2. Time in a dream is very similar, if not exact to time in real life. This goes along with a statement that your dreams during the night will affect the mood you are in when you wake up from them. This same group of scientists also discovered that there are two different modes of sleep Kramer One of these modes is called the progressive mode, which resolves emotional problems by working through them step by step and comparing them to previous challenges.
The second mode is the repetitive mode that deals with the failing of resolving emotional problems with a repetitive pattern without actually charting any progress Kramer This can also tie in with helpful and unhelpful sequence of dreams which is whether or not dreams have some sort of solution or if we are mentally up to the task of solving our problems Kramer Contrary to what the studies have found each dream is different and personalized so this may not always be the case, but it is what is common.
Dreams have been found to tie into the mood that we are in when we wake up. You may wonder how this is so but Dr. Dreams are mostly symbols that we interpret to the best of our knowledge. These symbols are broken down into seven basic categories; male aspect and female character, female aspect and male character, children, animals, healing agent, guides, and negative characters The Basics 1.
When you go to bed at night your emotional state will give you some clue as to how your dreams will play out. Once you have these main focuses in mind it is time for you to find out some example of symbols and more about them. When animals appear in your dreams they are showing your good and bad traits The Basics 2. Another example is a car or automobile in your dream The Basics 2.
This is very controversial because most people say this has to do with the direction you are heading in your life and even your body The Basics 2.
If you were to be driving a nice new car this is good but say you were driving an old beat up car, this may not be such a good thing for you. Another common theme in dreams is death. Contrary to popular belief death is not always bad. It should however start with writing a good topic and by extension, how well one is supposed to write a research paper on dreams.
On this premise, I recommend that you try out this agency for great tips. Also, below are some topics to consider. How to start a project Getting sample about health 4 places to get APA sample. Research essays come and go, some are repetitive and such should be easy to write on with an example being one on dreams. A topic that delves into the definition of essays is a good way to start. What are the impacts of dreams in achieving excellence? How to transform dreams into reality What is the place of dreams in the real world?


Went to my property Sat. and heard only one bird, and he wasn't on my property. There will be plenty hunters chasing him. All the cutting in the area is messing me up. Looks like it may be a tough year in Louisiana. There should be a good number of 3 yr. olds where I'm hunting in Texas and Oklahoma.
When does everybody's season start up?
In Louisiana it opens on March 23, south Texas March 16, and in Oklahoma April 6. I'll be leaving on March 26 to go to south Texas for a three day hunt and OK in the first or second week of the season in April.
Yep, I'm glad I have early seasons. I think it would kill me knowing I had to wait til May to turkey hunt.
Nah waiting ain't the problem - all the dumb, skinny, scrawny, come to any call, little boys get shot first. Give them a few more months and they plump up. HA!
Looks like we are going to have some no shows. I just don't understand why so many people sign up for a hunting contest and never check in with their team. I guess we'll have some alternates.
Yeah I guess your right. Those plump northern cornfed lazy barnyard birds are probably pretty tasty.
Yep and we don't have things that bite you, stick you, ooops gotta take that back - we got wolves and cougars now but no snakes! Least in WI and MI.

Mothers Share Fluoridation Testimony
Fluoride Action Network | Bulletin | December 9, 2020
Today we have two short but moving videos from mothers whose sons experience severe adverse reactions to fluoridated water. According to the promoters of fluoridation, people like their sons – who are hypersensitive to fluoride – don't exist. Unfortunately, as we've learned from the testimony of many over the years, hypersensitivity is a horrific reality and likely affects tens of thousands, or possibly even hundreds of thousands of individuals throughout the United States alone.
In this first video, Audrey Adams shares a compelling story of her experience learning about and coping with her autistic son's adverse reactions to fluoride and fluoridated water. We at FAN would like to thank her for sharing this powerful testimony that has helped us educate policy makers in a number of communities debating the issue over the past year.
Fluoride Sensitivity: A Personal Story from Audrey Adams
Our second video features mother, campaigner, and co-founder of Safe Water Calgary, Maria Castro telling city councilors why we should listen to a mom's expertise on fluoridation. She points out that unlike the so-called experts presenting in favor of fluoridation, she is the only person with a "PhD on her children," and that no one knows better than a mother, what is right for her child. She speaks from first hand experience, having witnessed her own child's adverse reactions to fluoridated water, resolved only after it was filtered out.
Maria uses common sense often forgotten by elected officials, pointing out that if there is any doubt about the safety of adding fluoridation chemicals, then there should be no doubt about taking or keeping it out. She also asks a question that should be asked of all decision-makers; can they guarantee fluoridation is safe for all citizens.
A Mom's Expertise on Fluoridation – Maria Castro
Mothers and parents like Audrey & Maria are the true heros of this movement. They're fighting to protect the next generation. Meanwhile, science is playing catch-up to their common sense. There are now seven mother-child studies revealing that the fetus is the most vulnerable to the fluoride's neurotoxicity, including the most recent published in JAMA Pediatrics, which has led to prominent scientists, physicians, and pediatricians urging pregnant women to avoid fluoride. Also included is the study by Till et al. (2019), which linked using fluoridated water to reconstitute infant formula with lowered IQ scores.
Of course, FAN has been calling on officials and the public health community to protect our children from fluoridation since 2000. In 2017, we created the Moms2B campaign specifically to warn pregnant women to avoid fluoride, years before the "experts." More than a decade ago, FAN started campaigns to educate parents not to reconstitute infant formula using fluoridated water. In 2012, we campaigned successfully to make New Hampshire the first state in the nation to require an infant fluoride warning. Since then, countless other communities have followed suit, potentially warning millions.
We remain committed to helping mothers, parents, and campaigners like Maria protect their families and communities from the harms of fluoridation in 2020 and beyond, can you help us?

Fluoride's Effect on Fetal Brain
The human placenta does not prevent the passage of fluoride from a pregnant mother's bloodstream to the fetus. As a result, a fetus can be harmed by fluoride ingested pregnancy. Based on research from China, the fetal brain is one of the organs susceptible to fluoride poisoning. As highlighted by the excerpts
Fluoride: Developmental Neurotoxicity.
Developmental Neurotoxicity There has been a tremendous amount of research done on the association of exposure to fluoride with developmental neurotoxicity. There are over 60 studies reporting reduced IQ in children and several on the impaired learning/memory in animals.

2015 IHHF Bio Series: Chris Chelios
By Administrator on January 21, 2016
CHRIS CHELIOS
Not THAT Chris Chelios, yet this Chris Chelios is still quite hockey accomplished. Playing the game early in life and as often as possible (many times playing on several teams simultaneously), Chris always found time to be on the ice, and that love for the rink continues to this day.
Following a myriad of youth hockey teams, "Cheli" found himself playing Junior A for the Sioux City Muskateers in the USHL, followed by a collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin – Superior, where he earned a Physical Education degree with minors in Coaching and Health. Following college, he was off to the minor pro leagues playing for the Shreveport Mudbugs in the CHL, the Baton Rouge Kingfish of the ECHL and a professional contract in Germany.
Fast forward to 2003 where Chris returned to his roots in the Chicago Suburbs and landed as a coach at the Sabre Youth Hockey Development Club. Instantly a favorite with the Learn to Skate sector at All Seasons Ice Rinks, Chris became in high demand and advanced quickly to become the Associate head coach of the national-bound Robert Morris University Girls Hockey Team and the Midget & Skills Director at the Sabres Hockey Club, where you can still find him today. While Chris believes he has a penchant for successful multi-tasking, truth be told, his successes are truly a tribute to his parents, Mr. & Mrs. James Chelios, who instilled an uncompromising work ethic with a "Work Hard, Stay Humble" attitude. This message is one he shares with his students today. Chris is happy to attest, even today, that his parents are his most trustworthy mentors at each stage of his hockey career, and he is eternally grateful.
Chris is crazy happily married to his wife Kate and the proud, proud father to two boys, Brayden and Zak. In his words, "I hope to be a great father and a mentor they can look up to not just in athletics, but in life in general".
It is simple and truthful to say you can always find Cheli at the rink, or on his way there or from. It is rare that anyone in the youth hockey community has not benefited from meeting or working with Chris during their hockey journey.

Home Community Education Discovering your voice at The Practice Space
Discovering your voice at The Practice Space
AnnMarie Baines opened The Practice Space at 10261 San Pablo Ave. nearly two years ago.
The term "stage fright" doesn't quite cover it. Whether it's in front of many people at a conference, or just one person at a job interview, speaking clearly and engagingly is as challenging as it is important to our lives. And we don't get many opportunities to practice.
At least, not before The Practice Space opened at 10261 San Pablo Ave. about two years ago.
The nonprofit founded by El Cerrito High graduate AnnMarie Baines is helping kids as young as 8 up to adults in their 80s learn how to find their voice and communicate with clarity and confidence. The Practice Space offers various services from camps to school-based programs to private lessons and organizational trainings.
Baines can relate to those who struggle with communication. Shy in high school, she said she was "semi-dragged" into joining El Cerrito High's storied Speech and Debate Team.
"A friend of mine just wanted me to keep her company," she said.
Her experience was transformative.
"By the end of four years, I felt like I could express my opinions, that I had a voice," Baines said.
And finding her voice played an important role in Baines' career path. She went on to complete her undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, worked on education policy at Harvard University, taught high school special education in Boston, and earned a PhD in Learning Sciences from the University of Washington.
As part of her research at the University of Washington, she studied students at a number of schools, including some in the West Contra Costa Unified School District, who were labeled as having learning disabilities or invisible disabilities. Her study aimed to identify what made them feel smart and capable.
"And it really kept coming back to having a voice, feeling like they were respected, having a team to belong to, where they can be purely themselves and be able to listen to other people," Baines said.
Throughout her professional career, and also as a longtime dedicated volunteer for the El Cerrito High Speech and Debate team, Baines said she discovered the lack of adequate opportunities to learn vital communication skills at schools and in the community. For one, speech and debate teams are expensive to run.
And so Baines founded The Practice Space in order to add this training in an affordable way at more schools, and to help local community members find success in real-world situations from meetings to business proposals to storytelling and podcasting.
It's not just about learning to speak effectively, but also how to listen, Baines said.
"When I talk about communication here, I talk about being able to express yourself, and be comfortable with that, but also being able to listen to others and to connect with others," Baines said. "So communication is ultimately about connection, not about competition or being able to drive your own ego."
The Practice Space offers weeklong day camps for younger students and two-week long camps for high school students, with every camp leading up to a culminating showcase. During the school year, The Practice Space offers aftercare programs. Baines' goal at school sites is to provide training and curriculum tools so that they can run their own program in about two years.
The inspiration for The Practice Space, said Baines, were three deaths that heavily impacted her from 2015-2017. They included her father, who interestingly enjoyed paying visits to up to dozen varying religious centers, just to have conversations with people there; Cathy Berman, her storied speech coach at El Cerrito High who would pay Baines' way to tournaments, as she couldn't afford it; and also a debate team peer who died at a very young age.
"Each room at The Practice Space is named after them," Baines said.
They helped Baines learn even more about communication, that it's about "love, healing and connecting."
"It's not just about career or improving public speaking as a personal goal," she added. "It's about building community."

Q: Angular D3: How to change the svg viewport size This is not about resposiveness. Its about reactive charts.
I implemented the ngOnChanges method to update the chart as the datasource changes:
ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {
  if (changes.data) {
    this.createChart(changes.data.currentValue);
  }
}

It works like  charm, except... the chart heigth should be dynamic, I mean, grows or shrink depending on changes.data.length (more data, more rows to be renderized). I do not constraint the svg element size in the container element.
This is how I built the <svg> root element:
const viewBoxHeight = data.length * 24 + 40;
const viewBoxWidth = 800;
if (this.svg) {
  this.svg.select('svg')
    .attr('viewBox', '0 0 ' + viewBoxWidth + ' ' + viewBoxHeight);
} else {
  this.svg = d3.select(this.hostElement)
    .append('svg')
    .attr('width', '100%')
    .attr('height', '100%')
    .attr('viewBox', '0 0 ' + viewBoxWidth + ' ' + viewBoxHeight);
}

If the this.svg object doesn't exist it is created, otherwise, the height should be changed.
The problems is it is not working, the height doesn't change. I changed manually the property viewBox in the html code via Chrome Developer Tools, and it changes the height (works).
Am I missing something?
PS.: I googled about this and only came about responsiveness issues

A: Digging into it I eventually found the problem:
    const.viewBoxHeight = data.length * 24 + 40;
    const viewBoxWidth = 800;
    if (this.svg) {
      d3.select(this.hostElement)
        .select('svg')
        .attr('viewBox', '0 0 ' + viewBoxWidth + ' ' + this.viewBoxHeight);
    } else {
      this.svg = d3.select(this.hostElement)
        .append('svg')
        .attr('width', '100%')
        .attr('height', '100%')
        .attr('viewBox', '0 0 ' + viewBoxWidth + ' ' + this.viewBoxHeight)

    }

It should select this.hostElement instead of 'svg' as I initially did.

The adult moth has a wingspan of 35-45 mm (1.36-1.75 inch). It is mottled in blackish-brown to gray colors. The caterpillar is about 40-45 mm (1.57-1.75 inch) long, mostly grayish-brown to green. Both adult and larva are very variable in coloration.
The caterpillars of M. brassicae feed on, and preferably bore themselves into, fruits, inflorescences and leaves of their host plants, mainly varieties of cabbage (Brassica sp.). At first, they produce numerous irregular holes in the outer layers of the head, then they advance deeper into its core. They soil the head by leaving behind a considerable amount of frass, which is in turn rapidly colonized by fungi and bacteria, causing rotting.
Even heads that are only superficially damaged lose in market value, often to the point of complete unmarketability. Those tunneled by larvae are unfit for human consumption.
The adult moths occur from May to October. During this time, 1-3 generations are produced. If there is more than one, the generations often overlap later in the year.
Each female lays on average 500-2,000 eggs in batches of 30-60 on the lower surfaces of leaves. After 1-2 weeks, the larvae hatch and directly spread over the host plants. They molt 5 times. Young larvae feed on outer leaves etc.: older ones, however, become negatively phototactic and tunnel into the plant parts. After 4-8 weeks, they burrow about 5 cm (1.97 inch) deep into the ground where they build a cocoon and pupate. At this stage, they either fall into diapause for hibernation, or the adults emerge after some days. In some warm climates, there can also be a summer aestivation, i.e. the pupae diapause during the hot season.
Both the adult moth and the larva of M. brassicae are nocturnal and will, if possible, hide during full daylight.
In spite of its name, M. brassicae is not completely limited to cabbage, but is very polyphagous and can also be found on many other crops, among them lettuce, chicory, spinach, tobacco, red beet, tomato, pea, beans, onion, potato, and even grape.
The cabbage moth is found throughout Europe, the temperate regions of Asia and in some places in North Africa. It is absent in the Americas.
While the severity of infestations by the cabbage moth varies between years in the most northern and southern parts of its distribution range, it is an important pest in its central areas, where it can cause serious damage. In some cases, losses of up to 80% have been reported.
Careful plowing after harvest in autumn will destroy a large proportion of the pupae by exposing them to predators and frost.
Provided there are not already pupae in the soil, covering beds with netting of mesh size 1.5-2 mm (0.058-0.078 inch) before plant emergence, or directly after planting, will largely prevent infestation. Early-sown (Jan/Feb) cabbage often shows little damage, as the heads are already well developed by the time the larvae appear.

60% whole-grain wheat flour in a perfect combination with 9 super grains and seeds – buckwheat, chia, golden and brown linseed, sunflower seeds, oats, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and soy, each with its characteristic taste and healthy benefits. A soft, multi-grainy and exclusively rich taste.
Flour – 65.8% (whole-grain type 1850 wheat flour – 60%*, type 500 wheat flour – 40%*); water; starter (water, wheat meal, liquid malt extract, clean starter cultures); sunflower seeds – 1.6%; oats – 1.6%; brown linseed – 1%; golden linseed – 0.7%; poppy seeds – 0.7%; sesame seeds – 0.7%; chia – 0.7%; buckwheat – 0.7%; soy mix – 0.7% (coarsely ground soy – 40%, whole-grain wheat flour); bread yeast; sea salt; technological additives (fermented wheat flour; antioxidant: ascorbic acid; enzymes); sprinkled with: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds.
May contain traces of: walnuts, milk and its derivative products. The product does not contain GMO.
60% whole-grain einkorn flour combined with the soft taste of wheat for a perfect balance between taste, texture, healthy benefits and natural origin. The high einkorn content makes this bread variety very suitable for those willing to reduce gluten consumption.

60% whole-grain wheat flour with added quinoa and linseed. With the perfect balance of the healthy benefits of the whole grains and the exclusive properties of the quinoa seeds and linseed, this combination is very suitable for vegans who do not consume dairy products, because quinoa is very rich in iron and calcium, while linseed helps the body absorb calcium as fully as possible.

Letter from the Director
by Sally Tornow, Library Director
You are amazing! Due to your overwhelming presence at the last Town Council meeting, the Library project has moved a step closer to fulfillment and that is a step further than any of the previous proposals have gone. One of the Town Council members who has served for many years, told me that there has NEVER been such a turnout for a project. Thank you all so very much for braving the crowd, the heat, and the inability to hear or sit – it proved without a shadow of doubt how important the Library is to our community.
We are not there yet, though. The Town Council sent the project to the Finance Board, who must approve it, as well. They meet on Wednesday, September 12 at 7:00 PM in the E. Paul Martin Room in Town Hall (same place as the Town Council) and we could use some support at that meeting, too. If the Finance Board approves it, they will send it back to the Town Council to set a date for either a Town Meeting or a referendum. Thanks to you, we are getting there!!!

Libraries Rock! at NMPL – Summer 2018
by Sue For, Head of the Children's Library
The Children's/YA /Teen Department had a total of 66 programs during July and August. Some of these were "in house" (created and run by staff) and some were programs that were specials, mostly funded by the FRIENDS of NML. We had music, crafts, science experiments, magic, puppets, story times, reading to therapy dogs, henna tattoos, cupcake wars, tie-dyed t-shirts , lots of different animal shows and more.
One of the new programs we had this year was "Rigamajig", brought to us by the KidsPlay Museum in Torrington. Patty and Lou set up the room with a giant building/construction set (Rigamajig) and the kids (and their parents) had fun constructing various things. It was so cool! Another new program was "Musical Pilates", fun and healthy exercise set to music.
As always, the animal programs were a big hit with the families. For the first time, we had a baby emu in the library when Chris from Animal Embassy was here. That was a BIG baby bird! We learned a lot about different animals from Chris; Christine from Christine's Critters; and Brian from Riverside Reptiles. It is wonderful that children get the chance to see and learn about such a variety of creatures in our library. Reading to Ralfy and Flash, our therapy dog friends, was an enriching and enjoyable time for many of our children.
Our older kids had fun making t-shirts, painting kindness rocks, getting henna tattoos, decorating cupcakes, participating in a Monopoly tournament and Josh's Chess Extravaganza and celebrating Harry Potter's birthday this summer.
All these fun and educational experiences happened here at NMPL, and after the programs, the kids got their books for summer reading fun. What a great summer – "Libraries Rock!"
(Many thanks to the FRIENDS for sponsoring the programs and prizes, and The Woman's Club of Greater New Milford for their help in funding prizes for the reading programs).

Coffee & Cookies With the Director
Who's Who at NMPL: Meet Lisa Peck
by Amy Berkun, Children's Library Associate
Please help us welcome the newest member of the NMPL circulation team, Lisa Peck! The oldest of three, Lisa was born in Bronxville, NY, and lived in Westchester until she was in her late 20s. Then she moved to Woodbury, CT, and at first wondered where the buses and trains were. But now after living in Woodbury for 35 years, Lisa says she would never go back to the city-like atmosphere of Westchester.
Lisa worked at a few odd jobs, including as a secretary in a realty firm; then she decided to go back to school, first at Naugatuck Valley Community College (NVCC) and then at Western Connecticut State University (WCSU). She received her master's degree in English and found a career advising adult students at Post University. After five years, she returned to WCSU to continue with this type of work. She retired after 14 years as the Associate Director of Academic Advising. She enjoyed this position very much in part because she felt she was "paying it forward." When Lisa was younger she was in foster care, and her foster father, Ben Logan, was a writer. Lisa says he was one of the most influential people in her life and because of his (and his wife, Jacqueline's) care and generosity, she felt she wanted to pay it forward by helping others.
Ben Logan is also her favorite writer, especially his book, The Land Remembers. Lisa has a difficult time picking other favorite authors, but among her favorites are books by Alice Walker and Kristin Hannah. She has been quilting for 13 years and hopes to sell some of her creations at the art fair in November. These days, Lisa is trying to live by the motto: "Live simply." Come see her on Monday evenings and say hello to Lisa at the NMPL main desk!

Playman's back and he's brought his friends to compete in one of the best games this year.
Playman started out a few years ago on the old monochrome handsets. The boy has now grown up into 3D glory. He has also learnt some social skills and doesn't get shy in front of company.
Playman Summer Games 2 is the biggest advancement in the Playman series. Gameplay has always been excellent but the graphics were basic. Mr Goodliving had made improvements in Winter Games and Beach Volley (although gameplay had slightly dropped) but now the series has got even better with brilliant gameplay and graphics in combination.
There are loads of new features in Summer Games 2, including different tournaments, computer AI and multiplayer ghosts. Plenty of minor tweaks have also added.
Firstly, the controls. In SG1 (Summer Games 1, not the sci-fi show) sprinting was achieved by pressing the correct button out of three. This was very taxing and high levels of concentration and finger agility were required. Thankfully this has been reduced to a choice of two buttons; 4 and 6. In short, its all about pure reactions. Once you have placed fingers over these buttons it is very easy to play - even if you've got fat thumbs or long fingernails. It is now very achievable to complete the races without missing a button.
The controls for the field events have also been simplified. Each field event can be split into separate sections. For the triple jump, you can focus on your sprinting until there is a cut scene when you have to time the 5 button so land as close to the foul line as you can. In the next section you have to time the press as your foot lands on the ground. It may sound complicated but it is not; the help section is very informative and as you would expect there is a training mode.
Even the sounds have been improved. There are several tunes for the menus, events and medal ceremony. As before, there is no music during the actual event so can concentrate. They have also added a Scream Booster for the throwing events. After you have launched your javelin/hammer, there is a random pause and Playman pops up on the screen and 5 appears in a speech bubble. The quicker you press the button, the louder he will scream and the further the object will fly. It is very important to hit this as fast as possible as this does has have a huge effect on your overall distance.
The most impressive features are the introduction of competitors and the various difficulty levels. You will begin at the Regional tournament and compete against 5 other competitors. The competitors can be any mix of human or AI players. There is no Bluetooth, so the handset must still be passed around. But, for the 100m, all the previous competitor ghosts will be racing with you. Fantastic!! After each race, points are awarded on your individual time/distance, as happens in decathlon. After the 4 events are complete the overall score is displayed. If you are in the top three, a medal ceremony is shown. If you manage to win the tournament, the next stage is unlocked. There are 4 tournaments including the secret MrG All Stars. If you manage to complete this tough tournament (all competitors can perform at world record values) then a special surprise is in store. Please note that to unlock the other levels, you must compete against 5 AI players and win overall.
Overall a fantastic game that will keep you and your mates enthralled for ages. Easily the best athletics game ever.


The secret is out! The Three Foragers Bee Co. honey caramels are now available!
Over the past few months, we've been working hard to perfect our newest product and we are over the moon to at last be able to share them.
Our original honey caramels can now be ordered via our online shop, and they will also be hitting store shelves very soon.
Last month, we ran a contest looking for two new product taste testers and we were delighted to crown Melissa Hoffman and Tracy Cameron as our official honey caramel taste testers.
Melissa and Tracy were two of the very first people to try our brand new honey caramels and here's what they had to say about them.
"Ohmygawsh! These honey caramels are SOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!
I thought they might be too sweet, but no - they are decadent and delicious!
The smooth caramel peeks out of the translucent wrapper... I inhale deeply, the sweet buttery scent, as I carefully peel away the wrapping. A soft, easy to eat caramel - the confection melting on my tongue, and with every bite, I am transported back in time, as a child, standing beside my grandmother in the kitchen, licking homemade caramel off the spoon.
As I chew, I note the hint of burnt caramel, blossoming on the back of my tongue, softening and beautifully rounding out the sweet buttered honey top notes.
Thanks so much to Melissa and Tracy for taking the time to share their thoughts. We are delighted to hear that they enjoyed our honey caramels and we truly hope all of you will too. Once you've ordered your bag, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to leave us a review on Facebook or Google. Happy tasting!


It's that time of the year when pilgrims are in fashion and no dining table is complete without a roast turkey. Turkey Time slots will have you playing and doing some serious thanksgiving for its big jackpots at the best online casino brands: LibertySlots USA Casino.
Turkey Time is a holiday-themed slots game from OddsOn, now more popularly known as WGS. This holiday game has just three reels and one pay line, placing it within the Traditional category. You only win when the correct combinations come up on the center pay line – the only one you've got.
Turkey Time has a total of seven symbols that, although they're drawn rather simplistically, are vividly colored and will nonetheless remind you of Thanksgiving. There's the Pumpkin Pie, the Single Bar, the Double Bar, the Triple Bar, the Maple Leaf, the Pilgrim Hat and the star of the show, the Turkey. Unlike many other slot games within the same traditional category, Turkey Time also has a bonus round that is triggered by none other than the Turkey symbol itself. The Pilgrim Hat also acts as a Wild symbol, helping complete any combination, as well as a Multiplier, with each Pilgrim Hat doubling the payout for a combination that it helps complete.
Overall, the theme is really strong throughout the whole game, and you're sure to enjoy yourself with all the features. Go for Turkey - Download and play Turkey Time Slots now!
You can bet from one to three coins in the Turkey Time slots game, with each coin having a value from $0.10 to $10. The Turkey Time payout table uses a multiplier so a larger bet means that there are more prizes at stake! But that's not the only come-on for you to bet three coins. Betting three coins for every pull means you also get a chance to enter the bonus round and win more money! A three-coin bet will let you win the jackpot – three Pilgrim Hats on the pay line – for a massive 2,400-coin payout!
Turkey Time features an innovative and appropriately Thanksgiving-themed bonus round. Get just one Turkey symbol on the pay line and you'll immediately activate the bonus round. Getting a Turkey with a Pumpkin Pie on the pay line will get you even more coins in addition to the bonus round. When you get into the bonus round, you are made to choose one from nine turkeys, each of which is hiding a different value of prize. If you don't like what you get with your first try, you can trade in your first choice for another one, for a maximum of three choices all in all. No matter what you pick, you're sure to walk away from the bonus round a little richer for your trouble.


The provisional start date of a future expedition will be the end of 2017.
Experts from India have agreed to participate in the next meteorite expedition to Antarctica.
Scientists from Russia and India will be part of the next meteorite expedition to Antarctica, Victor Grokhovsky, Professor of the Ural Federal University and member of the meteorites committee of Russian Academy of Sciences, told a TASS correspondent.
"Experts from India have already agreed to participate in the next meteorite expedition to Antarctica. They will also be able to provide snowmobiles to get around the ice cap. Overall, the Indian School of Cosmo-chemistry is fairly well developed, so the joint expedition promises to be fruitful," an agency representative said.
Grokhovsky said experts from Finland may join the next Antarctic expedition. "They are interested in joint research. A possibility of us cooperating with other countries is being discussed. The provisional start date of a future expedition will be the end of 2017," he said.
The first Russian Antarctic meteorite expedition was held between December 20th 2015 and 10th January, 2016. A part of the 61st Russian Antarctic Expedition, the scientific project was the first time in modern Russia history that a search was held to look for meteorite material on the southernmost continent. The expedition's budget was estimated at between 8 and 12 million rubles, most of which was provided by the Ural Federal University for research and development.
Work on finding meteorites was held in the Queen Maud Land area, located 100 kms from the Russian Novolazarevskaya station. Scientists were able to collect more than 300 rock samples for further investigations, two of which have already been classified as meteorites. They were assigned the names LOM 15001 and LOM 15002. Their study will allow scientists to gain new information about the origins of the universe and the future of the planet.

Leaked papers reveal major pushback against fossil fuel phaseout
A group of countries that produce large amounts of oil, coal, beef, and animal feed have been lobbying the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to soften the wording of its upcoming assessment of the ways to limit global warming. These countries want the IPCC to remove recommendations that call for an urgent fossil fuel phaseout and a meat consumption cut, according to a trove of leaked documents seen by Unearthed, an environmental journalism project run by Greenpeace UK.
In a recent report, the IPCC warned it could soon be too late for the world to keep the increase in global temperatures at no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius without drastic climate action. The leaked documents refer to the part of the upcoming Sixth Assessment Report that deals with climate change mitigation options.
The draft of the Sixth Assessment Report states that the 1.5°C scenario requires shutting down or overhauling existing coal- and natural gas-fired power plants within the next 10 and 12 years respectively, without opening new ones.
Saudi Arabia, Australia, and OPEC are pushing back against a rapid fossil fuel phaseout
The countries lobbying against a rapid fossil-fuel phaseout are Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the other Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), as well as Australia and Japan, while those pushing back against a shift towards plant-based diets include Brazil and Argentina, according to the leak, which comes less than two weeks before the kick-off of the UN climate conference COP26 in Glasgow.
Fossil fuel producers want the IPCC to acknowledge to role of carbon capture technology in combating climate change
The fossil fuel producing nations are calling on the IPCC to acknowledge the role that carbon capture technology could theoretically play in reducing the climate impact of fossil fuels, Unearthed wrote, noting that "there is currently only one power station in operation in the world that successfully captures some of its carbon emissions."
Also, an expert quoted by Unearthed says that there is no scientific evidence that humanity can rely on carbon capture and storage (CCS) or objective information to suggest this is a well-proven, functioning, and affordable technology.
Brazil and Argentina oppose drive to curb meat, dairy consumption
On the issue of animal farming as a driver of climate change, Brazil and Argentina, two of the world's biggest producers of beef and animal feed crops, want the IPCC to remove or water down its recommendations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by curbing the consumption of meat and dairy products on a global scale.
Unearthed cited an earlier report by the IPCC, which claims that meat, particularly beef, is "the single food with the greatest impact on the environment."

Lobar pneumonia is a form of pneumonia characterized by inflammatory exudate within the intra-alveolar space resulting in consolidation that affects a large and continuous area of the lobe of a lung.

It is one of three anatomic classifications of pneumonia (the other being bronchopneumonia and atypical pneumonia). In children round pneumonia develops instead because the  pores of Kohn which allow the lobar spread of infection are underdeveloped.

Mechanism
The invading organism starts multiplying, thereby releasing toxins that cause inflammation and edema of the lung parenchyma. This leads to the accumulation of cellular debris within the lungs. This leads to consolidation or solidification, which is a term that is used for macroscopic or radiologic appearance of the lungs affected by pneumonia.
Bacterial pneumonia is mainly classified into lobar and diffuse depending on the degree of lung irritation or damage.

Stages

Lobar pneumonia usually has an acute progression.
Classically, the disease has four stages:

 Congestion in the first 24 hours: This stage is characterized histologically by vascular engorgement, intra-alveolar fluid, small numbers of neutrophils, often numerous bacteria. Grossly, the lung is heavy and hyperemic.
 Red hepatization or consolidation: Vascular congestion persists, with extravasation of red blood cells into alveolar spaces, along with increased numbers of neutrophils and fibrin. The filling of airspaces by the exudate leads to a gross appearance of solidification, or consolidation, of the alveolar parenchyma. This appearance has been likened to that of the liver, hence the term "hepatization".
 Grey hepatization: Red blood cells disintegrate, with persistence of the neutrophils and fibrin. The alveoli still appear consolidated, but grossly the color is paler and the cut surface is drier. This is when death typically occurs in severe cases.
 Resolution (complete recovery): The exudate is digested by enzymatic activity, and cleared by macrophages or by cough mechanism. Enzymes produced by neutrophils will liquify exudates, and this will either be coughed up in sputum or be drained via lymph.

In children
The openings between the alveoli known as the pores of Kohn, and the collateral airways of the canals of Lambert, are undeveloped in children. Spread of infection that would otherwise occur is prevented and can result in round pneumonia, most commonly caused by S. pneumoniae. This clinically presents with an initial mild respiratory infection, followed by fever. On imaging it presents an opaque pulmonary consolidation which is unusually round, and can resemble a lung mass. However it quickly resolves with antibiotics.

Diagnosis
The most common organisms which cause lobar pneumonia are Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the tubercle bacillus, may also cause lobar pneumonia if pulmonary tuberculosis is not treated promptly. Other organisms that cause lobar pneumonia are Legionella pneumophila and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Like other types of pneumonia, lobar pneumonia can present as community acquired, in immune suppressed patients or as nosocomial infection. However, most causative organisms are of the community acquired type.
Pathological specimens to be obtained for investigations include:
 Sputum for culture, AAFBS and gram stain
 Blood for full hemogram/complete blood count, ESR and other acute phase reactants
 Procalcitonin test, more specific

On a posteroanterior and lateral chest radiograph, an entire lobe will be radiopaque, which is indicative of lobar pneumonia.
