Het Portinari-altaar  of de Portinari-triptiek is een olieverfschilderij van Hugo van der Goes uit circa 1473-1478, waaraan hij wellicht nog tot 1482 is blijven werken. Het is een van de belangrijkste schilderijen van de Vlaamse Primitieven. Het ambitieuze werk wedijvert – ook qua formaat – met het Lam Gods van de gebroeders Van Eyck.

Het altaarstuk werd in 1483 verscheept naar Italië waar het op het hoofdaltaar van de Sant'Egidio, een hospitaalkerk in Florence, werd geplaatst. Het schilderij maakte bij aankomst grote indruk op de Italiaanse kunstenaars en beïnvloedde schilders als Domenico Ghirlandaio, Piero di Cosimo en Piero della Francesca. Eind 19e eeuw verhuisde het naar de Uffizi, eveneens in Florence.

Geschiedenis

De opdrachtgevers
De opdrachtgevers waren Tommaso Portinari, een vertegenwoordiger in Brugge van de Florentijnse Medici-bank, en zijn vrouw Maria Baroncelli, die samen met drie van hun kinderen op het altaarstuk zijn afgebeeld. Het was bestemd voor de Sant'Egidio-kerk van de Ospedale di Santa Maria Nuova, een hospitaal/gasthuis in Florence dat in 1288 was gesticht door een voorouder van Tommaso. De gotische kerk, die een romaanse voorganger grotendeels verving, was op 9 september 1419 door paus Martinus V ingewijd. Hugo's altaarstuk moest een eerder werk met De aanbidding door de wijzen uit ca. 1420-1422 door Lorenzo Monaco vervangen.

Portinari had al eerder opdrachten verstrekt aan Hans Memling, waaronder een devotietriptiek met portretten van Portinari en zijn vrouw Maria Baroncelli (het middendeel met Maria en kind is verloren gegaan). Maria Baroncelli draagt hier dezelfde halsketting en hennin als op het Portinari-altaar.

De vervaardiging
In de jaren 1473-1477 huurde Van der Goes het "grote huis" op de Blandinusberg in Gent, dat in verband is gebracht met de vervaardiging van het enorme altaarstuk. De leeftijd van de afgebeelde kinderen lijkt deze datering te bevestigen. De opzet van het altaarstuk is een compromis tussen de Vlaamse en Italiaanse traditie. Hoewel het nog wel, volgens de noordelijke traditie, uit drie afzonderlijke panelen bestaat, vormen de panelen één doorlopende compositie zoals intussen gebruikelijk was geworden in Italië. De andere momenten uit het kerstverhaal zijn niet afgebeeld op afzonderlijke panelen, maar opgenomen in de compositie, als losse scènes in het landschap op de achtergrond.

Het is onbekend waar het altaarstuk zich in de periode 1478-1482 bevond en of Van der Goes er in het klooster tot aan zijn dood is blijven werken. Mede-monnik Gaspar Ofhuys, die verslag deed van zijn ziekte en dood, schreef dat broeder Hugo zich vertwijfeld afvroeg of hij "zijn schilderij" ooit zou voltooien. Historici hebben dit betrokken op het Portinari-altaar, maar het zou ook kunnen slaan op de Drievuldigheidspanelen voor een Schotse opdrachtgever waarvan vermoed wordt dat hij het inderdaad niet zelf heeft voltooid.

Het altaarstuk werd kort voor of kort na de dood van Van der Goes naar Italië verscheept en arriveerde na een reis via Pisa en een laatste etappe over de Arno op 28 mei 1483 in Florence. Het werd geplaatst op het hoogaltaar van de Sant'Egidio-kerk.

Voorstelling en symboliek

De geboorte en de aanbidding

Centraal staat de geboorte van Christus en de aanbidding door Maria en Jozef, de herders en de engelen. Voor de uitbeelding van het kerstverhaal baseerde Van der Goes zich niet alleen op de evangeliën en de middeleeuwse beeldtraditie. Hij liet zich ook – deels in navolging van werken van de Meester van Flémalle en Rogier van der Weyden – inspireren door mystieke teksten van Pseudo-Bonaventura (ca. 1300) en Birgitta van Zweden (ca. 1360-1370).

Volgens Birgitta had Maria haar mantel afgelegd, viel haar gouden haar los over haar schouders en droeg ze alleen haar witte onderkleed. Zo is ze afgebeeld door bijvoorbeeld Rogier van der Weyden. Ook bij Hugo draagt ze geen mantel, maar haar kleed is blauw, zoals in de beeldtraditie gebruikelijk was. Pseudo-Bonaventura en Birgitta beschrijven dat de geboorte van Jezus pijnloos en in een oogwenk verliep. Als bij toverslag verliet Jezus haar schoot en verscheen voor haar, "liggend op de grond, naakt en wonderschoon" (Birgitta: iacentem in terra nudum et nitidissimum). Het hooi dat Jozef voor Maria had uitgestrooid om als bed voor Jezus te dienen, is door Hugo van der Goes veranderd in een stralenkrans van hemels licht. Maria, Jozef en de engelen zitten in aanbidding geknield rond het kind. De traditionele kribbe met os en ezel staat achter Maria. Een verschil met de beide teksten is dat de gebeurtenis niet in een grot plaatsvindt, maar in de traditionele ruïne.

De voorste engelen dragen kostbare priestergewaden en beelden zo de heilige liturgie uit in de verschillende functies van diaken, subdiaken en cantor, zoals beschreven in het preceptenboek van Athos. Er is geen priester – die rol is voor Christus zelf weggelegd: hij is zowel de celebrant (door het instellen van de eucharistie tijdens het Laatste Avondmaal) als de hostie (door zijn kruisdood). De zwevende engel achter Maria draagt vierpassen met het Aanschijn van Christus. De voorste engel met de goudbrokaten koorkap en de sierboorden (aurifrisia) waarop het herhaalde Sanctus is geborduurd, wenkt naar de toeschouwers en nodigt ons uit het wonder mee te beleven. Bij sommigen herinneren de granaatappels van gouddraad en de rinkelende belletjes aan de kleding van de oudtestamentische hogepriester, zoals voorgeschreven in Exodus.

Rechts op het middenpaneel knielen de herders neer, die zo'n indruk zouden maken op de Italiaanse kunstenaars. Herders waren al eerder realistisch uitgebeeld, bijvoorbeeld door Andrea Mantegna, maar bij Hugo van der Goes zijn het geen karikaturale typen meer, maar individuen met een eigen persoonlijkheid. De herders vervingen de wijzen (of koningen) van het bestaande altaarstuk van Lorenzo Monaco dat tot dan toe op het hoofdaltaar van de Sant'Egidio had gestaan. Mogelijk werd het voor het hospitaal, waar een sfeer van soberheid heerste, gepaster geacht om de mensheid die de Verlosser verwelkomt, te laten vertegenwoordigen door eenvoudige herders, dan door rijke koningen, die hier naar de achtergrond zijn verwezen.

Heilige grond
De losse sandaal of trip op de voorgrond zinspeelt waarschijnlijk op het verhaal van het brandende braambos in Exodus 3, waarin God tegen Mozes zegt dat hij zijn schoeisel uit moet trekken, "want de plaats, waarop gij staat, is heilige grond". [het huis van Ruth]

Het vervallen gebouw op de achtergrond stelt het paleis van David in Bethlehem voor. Terwijl op het Monforte-retabel misschien nog enige onzekerheid kan bestaan over de identificatie van het gebouw, is hier geen twijfel mogelijk: boven de toegang bevindt zich een gehouwen wapenschild met een harp, het vaste attribuut van koning David, die volgens de Bijbel harp speelde voor koning Saul. In het boogveld bevinden zich ook enkele inscripties die verwijzen naar de geboorte van Christus en daarmee benadrukken dat Christus afstamt van koning David. M.V., naast de harp, is de afkorting van Maria Virgo ("de maagd Maria"). De inscriptie boven de harp, P.N.S.C., betekent waarschijnlijk "Puer Nascetur Salvator Christus" (Latijn voor "Er is [voor ons] een kind geboren, Christus, de Verlosser"), een verwijzing naar zowel Jesaja 9:6 als Lucas 2:11.
Naast de deur bevindt zich verder een steen met een onontcijferbare tekst.

De zuil op de achtergrond verwijst naar verhalen en tradities die niet in de Bijbel voorkomen. In de Pseudo-Bonaventura wordt verteld dat Maria direct voor haar bevalling uit vermoeidheid tegen een zuil leunde. Birgitta van Zweden vernam in haar visioen dat Maria voorzag dat dit dezelfde zuil was, waaraan Christus, voorafgaand aan de kruisiging, gegeseld zou worden. De zuil is ook afgebeeld op de Bladelin-triptiek van Rogier van der Weyden.

Licht en duisternis
Hugo van der Goes was een belangrijke pionier van het gebruik van clair-obscur in de schilderkunst. Op dit schilderij komt dat het duidelijkst tot uiting in de engel die achter Maria zweeft en half in het duister is gehuld. Maria werpt een schaduw op hem, terwijl zijn gezicht, handen en de plooien van zijn gewaad het licht opvangen dat vanaf de helverlichte grond wordt weerkaatst. De exacte betekenis van deze figuur is onduidelijk, maar het sterke licht-donkercontrast benadrukt in elk geval de felheid van het licht dat Christus uitstraalt. Birgitta vertelde dat in haar visioen de goddelijke lichtstralen (splendor divinus) het aardse licht (splendor materialis) volledig tenietdeden (totaliter adnihilaverat).

Het idee dat Christus een hemels licht uitstraalde, heeft Van der Goes ook weergegeven in de Berlijnse Geboorte van Christus en het verloren gegane paneel met De geboorte bij nacht, alleen ligt Christus daar niet op de grond maar in een houten of stenen kribbe. Hij volgde hier een andere traditie, waarbij de kribbe werd opgevat als een voorafbeelding van het altaar en de eucharistieviering.

In de schaduw van de ruïne, direct achter Maria bevindt zich – amper zichtbaar – een gedrocht met klauwen, dat meestal wordt geïnterpreteerd als Satan, die weliswaar bedwongen is door Christus en Maria, maar die toch op de mens blijft loeren.

Bloemstilleven

De bloemen en de korenschoof op de voorgrond zijn geschilderd als een virtuoos stilleven – het is wel "het mooiste stilleven dat ooit werd geschilderd" genoemd. De onderdelen van het stilleven verwijzen enerzijds naar het Laatste Avondmaal en de kruisdood van Christus en anderzijds naar de bemiddelende rol van Maria. Veel van de bloemen komen ook voor op het Monforte-retabel en de Weense diptiek, maar daar groeien ze in de grond. Het feit dat de bloemen hier zijn afgesneden, zinspeelt mogelijk op de vergankelijkheid van het aardse leven, in contrast met het eeuwige leven dat Christus brengt.

De iris, destijds een van de plantensoorten met zwaardvormige bladeren die gladiolus werd genoemd, verwijst naar een passage in het evangelie van Lukas. Tijdens de presentatie van Jezus in de tempel van Jeruzalem looft de vrome Simeon God omdat hij de Christus heeft gezien voordat hij sterft, waarna hij aan Maria voorspelt: "En door uw eigen ziel zal een zwaard gaan." Onder anderen Birgitta van Zweden zag dit als een toespeling op Maria's verdriet tijdens de kruisiging.

De lelies, eveneens een mariale bloem, vertegenwoordigen hier mogelijk ook de heraldische lelie van Florence.

De zeven donkerpaarse bloemen van de akelei staan waarschijnlijk voor de zeven smarten van Maria. De nasale -n- in de Franse naam ancolie, die evenals akelei is afgeleid van het Latijnse aquilegia, wordt verklaard door de associatie (en het rijm) met mélancolie, wat in de middeleeuwen intens verdriet kon betekenen en later ook zwaarmoedigheid en hypochondrie. Het beeld van de akelei als symbool van (liefdes)verdriet en somberheid was vooral in de 15e eeuw populair in de hoofse poëzie. De akelei komt ook voor op de Berlijnse Madonna door een assistent of navolger van Geertgen tot Sint Jans en op De bewening van Christus in Edingen door de Meester van de Virgo inter Virgines, een schilderij dat mogelijk teruggaat op een verloren werk van Hugo van der Goes.

De drie rode anjers kunnen enerzijds verwijzen naar de Drie-eenheid en anderzijds naar de bebloede spijkers waarmee Christus aan het kruis werd geslagen. Daarnaast kunnen de anjers ook, zoals op de Maria met Kind in Frankfurt, een symbool zijn van het mystieke huwelijk tussen Christus en de kerk (op het schilderij vertegenwoordigd door Maria).

Het glas verbeeldt Maria's maagdelijkheid: zoals licht door glas valt zonder het te breken, zo werd Maria zwanger van de Heilige Geest zonder haar maagdelijkheid te verliezen. De neergestrooide viooltjes, die ook tussen het gras van De zondeval op de Weense diptiek groeien, zijn een bekend symbool van Maria's nederigheid.

De apothekerspot of alborello kan een dubbele betekenis hebben: enerzijds is hij toepasselijk op een altaarstuk in een hospitaal; anderzijds geven de wijnranken op de pot aan dat er wordt gezinspeeld op de eucharistie waarbij de wijn verandert in het bloed van Christus. Het gaat daarmee om de genezing van zowel het lichaam als de ziel.

De korenschoof, waarvan brood wordt gemaakt en die ook op De geboorte van Christus van Hugo van der Goes een prominente plaats inneemt, kan verwijzen naar zowel Bethlehem, de stad van David, waarvan de naam in het Hebreeuws "Broodhuis" betekent, en als naar de hostie tijdens eucharistie. De losse korenaren kunnen een toespeling zijn op Ruth, de overgrootmoeder van koning David en voorouder van Christus, die in Bethlehem aren las in het veld van Boaz.

De aanwezigheid van de korenschoof, die niet toevallig een beeldrijm vormt met de positie van de liggende Christus, de wijnranken op de alborello en de engelen in priestergewaden benadrukken de liturgische rol van het schilderij op het altaar tijdens de eredienst. Vanuit de kerk moet het geleken hebben alsof het glas en de apothekerspot op het altaar stonden. Enkele jaren eerder had Botticelli zijn Madonna van de eucharistie geschilderd, waarin de betekenis van de korenaren en druiven, die door het Christuskind worden gezegend, onmiskenbaar is.

Achterplan
In het landschap op de achtergrond heeft Hugo van der Goes andere momenten uit het kerstverhaal verwerkt. Het linkerpaneel toont de proloog: de vermoeide Maria, die wordt ondersteund door Jozef, is onderweg naar Bethlehem, gevolgd door de os en de ezel. Op het middenpaneel is de verkondiging aan de herders afgebeeld; de twee vrouwen bij het hekje (links van de herders), die de plek verlaten, zijn mogelijk een verwijzing naar de legende van de twee vroedvrouwen. Op het rechterpaneel arriveren de drie wijzen met hun gevolg (inclusief kamelen), terwijl een verkenner de weg vraagt aan een boer.

Heiligen en stichters
Ondanks het grote realisme van de voorstelling heeft Hugo van der Goes ervoor gekozen om op de zijpanelen de traditie te respecteren om de heiligen groter af te beelden dan de stichters. Bovendien gaf het hem de kans om zijn virtuositeit in het schilderen van monumentale, levensechte figuren te etaleren.

Op het linkerpaneel staan de beschermheiligen van Tommaso en zijn stamhouder Antonio (geboren in 1472) afgebeeld: de heiligen Thomas en Antonius. Thomas staat met zijn voet op Tommaso's mantel om zo – ondanks het verschil in formaat en hiërarchie – de fysieke nabijheid van de stichter tot de heilige te benadrukken. Hetzelfde motief had Jan van Eyck al eerder toegepast met Sint-Joris en kanunnik Van der Paele. In dit geval laat Thomas ook zijn pink op het hoofd van Tommaso rusten. Antonius werd aangeroepen tijdens pestuitbraken en was daarom ook op zijn plaats in een hospitaal. Pigello (geboren tussen 1474 en 1476), de tweede zoon van het echtpaar, gaat half schuil achter Antonio en heeft geen patroonheilige. Hij lijkt pas in de loop van het ontwerpproces door Van der Goes te zijn toegevoegd.

Er is vaak gespeculeerd over de reden waarom de posities van de heiligen Margaretha en Maria Magdalena zijn omgewisseld en ze gekruisd achter moeder en dochter staan: Margaretha achter Maria Baroncelli en Maria Magdalena achter dochter Margherita (geboren in 1471). Het kan er simpelweg mee te maken hebben dat de moeder al vertegenwoordigd wordt door Maria op het middenpaneel en dat Maria Magdalena haar tweede patroonheilige was. Het kan ook verband houden met de rol van Margaretha als beschermer van zwangere vrouwen: ze verbindt moeder Maria en dochter Margherita en ze benadrukt de rol van Maria Baroncelli als degene die de familie Portinari in stand moet houden. Dhanens wees erop dat de Portinari's vanouds in de parochie van de heilige Margaretha (popolo di Santa Margarita) in Florence woonde en dat de naam Margaretha veel voorkwam in de familie (twee van zijn zussen heetten respectievelijk Margarita en Maddalena). Ze heeft daarom geopperd dat Tommaso ook andere familieleden wilde eren door Margaretha een prominente plek te geven.

De annunciatie
Op de buitenzijden van de luiken staat de Annunciatie (of Boodschap aan Maria) afgebeeld, zoals destijds gebruikelijk in grisaille. De beide figuren staan in de traditie van bijvoorbeeld de Annunciatiediptiek van Jan van Eyck, maar bij Van der Goes krijgen ze veel meer bewegingsruimte dan de statische, roerloze figuren van Van Eyck. Van der Goes laat de grens tussen schijnsculptuur en reguliere schilderkunst vervagen. Panofsky omschreef het effect als: "Ze lijken een dubbele metamorfose te hebben ondergaan, alsof menselijke wezens eerst in steen zijn veranderd en daarna weer tot leven gewekt."

Opvallend is dat Gabriël van rechts komt en niet van links, zoals gebruikelijk is op 15e-eeuwse voorstellingen in de Lage Landen. Panofsky zag hier Franse invloed in. Dhanens wees erop dat deze rangschikking in Gent vaker voorkwam.

Invloed en reputatie

Invloed in Florence
Direct na de aankomst van het altaarstuk in Florence in 1483 werd het door de Italiaanse kunstenaars herkend als een meesterwerk. In het bijzonder de realistische uitbeelding van de herders, niet als karikaturale typen, maar als individuen met een eigen persoonlijkheid, is terug te zien in werken die in de jaren erna werden gemaakt door schilders als Domenico Ghirlandaio, Piero della Francesca, Sandro Botticelli en Piero di Cosimo.

Latere lotgevallen
Later raakte de naam van de Hugo van der Goes in de vergetelheid en werd het altaarstuk afwisselend toegeschreven aan de Italiaanse kunstenaars die de frescocyclus over het leven van Maria in de kerk hadden gemaakt: Domenico Veneziano, Andrea del Castagno en Alesso Baldovinetti. In de 19e eeuw kreeg het altaarstuk weer de juiste toeschrijving dankzij een bijna terloopse vermelding bij Vasari waarin het werk wordt toegeschreven aan "Ugo d'Anversa". Omdat de evangelist Lucas volgens de overlevering zowel arts als schilder was, was hij van beide gildes de patroonheilige.
Het schildersgilde had daarom ook zijn zetel in de hospitaalkerk. Dhanens hield het voor mogelijk dat de Florentijnse schilders, die het altaarstuk bewonderden, de naam "Ugo" onthouden hadden.

Na lange onderhandelingen (en belangstelling van zowel de Belgische staat als meerdere kunsthandelaars en verzamelaars) werd het altaarstuk, met zeventien andere kunstwerken, ten slotte aan de Uffizi verkocht en op 1 april 1900 naar het museum overgebracht.

Lunch break visits to Scotts' Farms are my favorite getaway from cube life. The native blueberries are out and were irresistible today. Usually I like to roast them until their juices start to flow, and pour while still warm over ice cream… not today. Today, I had a different plan.
Actually, that's not true at all. I had no plan, just a pint of perfectly ripe blueberries in a plastic bag flopped in the back seat of my car. It was on my way home that dinner plans started falling into place. You know: my 40 mile commute. That sweet time of day when, undoubtedly, I will be cut off at least once, or stuck behind some comatose driver on her or his #@&$%#! cell phone, or be witness to countless broken turn signals… I mean, they must be broken because no one is using them, right? I don't have road rage or anything. Wait, that's not true either.
My sage plant is out of control. For some reason the thing is flourishing and the basil right next door looks emaciated. Really, it's quite sad. I mentally paired the sage with the faint memory of a blueberry sauce I had made last fall to go with hanger steaks. Perfect.
We weren't having beef for dinner, however. Tonight I wanted pork tenderloin. I love this recipe from Kitchen Confidante (kitchenconfidante.com/if-you-cant-stand-the-heat-part-ii) and happened to have one sitting in my fridge. It only requires a few ingredients that I always have on hand and comes out perfect every time. In the Fall I like to season pork with sage and serve with apples but it's the dead of summer. Seriously, I haven't worn my hair down in weeks because of this dreadful humidity. Hateful, evil curls.
Needless to say, pork needs a sauce of some kind in my book.
Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pan, sauté the shallots until they are soft. Next add the balsamic and let it cook off, stirring if necessary. Now the blueberries, sage, and stock. Gently simmer until the berries start to break down and release their juices. Stir in the corn starch and allow to thicken. Season with salt, pepper, & sugar to taste. Lastly, swirl in the butter and take off the heat.
The sauce came out just barely sweet with pronounced sage and a slight acidity from the balsamic. It paired perfectly with the tenderloin which I prefer to prepare in the oven using a cast iron skillet and substituting organic grapeseed oil where the recipe calls for canola. Remember if you make this to adjust to your own liking.

Neurobehcet syndrome is the disease with multisystem involvement. It has known otological manifestations which mainly include hearing loss due the involvement of the labyrinth. Though literature reports some cases of Neurobehcet disease with facial nerve palsy, it is one of the rarest presentations. The diagnosis of neurobehcets is mainly based on the symptomatology as no definitive pathological tests are available. As an otologist is one of the first clinicians to come across a patient with facial nerve palsy, we report this case of neurobehcets disease presenting to us with an ear ulcer and ipsilateral facial nerve palsy.
Behcet syndrome is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology. First described by hippocrates, this syndrome carries the name of a Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behηet (1889-1948), who first recognized and reported in 1937 a triad of symptoms consisting of recurrent eye inflammation, oral ulcers and genital ulcers. Though the cause of the disease is unknown it has been recognized as a multisystem inflammatory disease, producing vasculitis and manifesting mainly with ocular or orogenital ulcers. Other systems which may be involved in 70 percent of cases include pulmonary, joints, cardiac and central nervous system (CNS). Neurological complications of this disease range in 4 to 29 percent of patients, occurring more in chronic cases and behaving as a serious, relapsing remitting disorder with a progressive course. , The neurological complications of Behcet syndrome are probably related to the activity of the disease, being more common in males.  The preferred neuro-imaging is a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Though NeuroBechet syndrome presents commonly with visual impairment due to uveitis; however, facial nerve involvement is a rare feature. It has been reported in literature that recurrent idiopathic facial nerve palsy might occasionally be a symptom of neurological involvement of Bechet disease.  We report a case of a 32-year-old male with an ulcer in ear canal and facial nerve involvement which is a very rare presentation of Neurobehcet syndrome.
A 32-year-old gentleman presented to our outpatient department with complaints of recurrent mouth ulcers since many years, pain in right ear and right-sided facial weakness with ipsilateral facial nerve palsy since 3-4 days. He also had weakness of right half of the body with sensory disturbances and double vision for last 3 months. The history of promiscuity and joint pains were present; there was however no history of photosensitivity, diabetes, hypertension or bladder and bowel disturbances. The history for trauma was also negative. He also gave history of a near similar episode in 2004 when he first developed numbness in both feet associated with weakness of both lower limbs. This was followed by painless progressive loss of vision. He was admitted in a local hospital and was given intravenous steroids. This episode recovered completely but no diagnosis was made.
In present episode, on general examination all signs of right-sided lower motor neuron facial palsy were present. Rest of the cranial nerves were normal on examination. On otoscopic examination there was an ulcer in the right pinna and ear canal, which was shallow but exquisitely tender. The power on the right side of the body was decreased as compared with the left side of the body. The power in all the extensors and flexors on right side was grade 4/5 and there was no grip in right hand. The patient was thoroughly investigated. His viral markers were negative for hepatitis B and C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). His immunological workup showed non-significant antinuclear antibody ANA and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) titres, negative HLA-B5 and HLA-B27, and negative rheumatoid factor. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis quantified protein as 206 mg/dl and sugar as 76%. The venereal disease research labortary (VDRL) test was negative and malignant cytology was also negative. On slit lamp examination he had anterior uveitis. His pure tone examination revealed normal hearing. No granulomatous changes were found on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) chest and abdomen. His sural nerve biopsy was negative for any vasculitic or granulomatous changes. A MRI Brain was done to exclude any parenchymal cause and it showed hyperintensities on T2 weighted images in brain parenchyma and pons. After these plethora of investigations considering the patient with mouth ulcers and anterior uveitis along with positive MRI findings, pathergy test was done which was positive. The patient was treated with intravenous steroids and the gentleman recovered completely. We have kept him on a regular follow-up.
Inner ear and facial nerve involvement in Bechet disease was first reported by Alajouanine et al. in 1961.  Since then several studies of autoimmune involvement of facial nerve involvement and inner ear have been published.  Reported rates of facial nerve involvement and inner ear disease in NBD are (15-40%). NeuroBehchets disease is a rare disease and diagnosis can be reached by taking a careful history. It is important to diagnose NBD in order to monitor both neurological and systemic manifestations.  There is no specific pathological technique available for the diagnosis of this disease, although international study group criteria for the disease are highly specific and sensitive. This involves clinical criteria and pathergy test. . Diagnosis of NBD is based on clinical findings of recurrent oral ulcer, genital ulcer, including skin lesions such as erythema, acne or follicullitis inflammatory markers such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), which may or may not be elevated, complete ophthalamic examination including slit lamp examination, visual field examination and fundus examination to assess optic disc atrophy.
Cerebrospinal fluid may demonstrate elevated protein with or without pleocytosis. HLA-B5 has 2 splits B51 and B52 of which 51 in important in etiology of Bechet disease. HLA-B51 is associated with increased risk of NBD by 6 times. Oligoclonal bodies are important indicators in CSF to rule out multiple sclerosis from Bechet's disease. Oligoclonal bodies are absent in Bechet's disease and are present in multiple sclerosis; however, MRI remains the diagnostic modality of choice.
Treatment of Bechet syndrome must be tailored to each patient's clinical manifestation. Corticosteroids are considered palliative, as they are useful in controlling acute manifestations. Cytotoxic drugs are usually indicated in patients with ocular, CNS and vascular disease. Biological medications are also being used in patients with these complications.  In conclusion, the practitioners should be aware of the varied presentations of NBD for an early diagnosis and better prognosis.

Q: How to remove %0A from the url
<form action="" method="get">

Check
Country
Check

<?
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{ ?>

<input type='checkbox' onclick="check()" name='allowed' value='1' <?
$reflex=mysql_query("select distinct * from geocity where isAllowed='1' AND
country='" . $row['Code'] . "'"); $count = mysql_num_rows($reflex); if ($count ==
1{echo 'checked';}else{echo '';} ?>>

<? echo $row['CountryName']; ?>

<input type='checkbox' id="check1" name='countryname' value="<?echo $row['Code'];?>"
<? $reflex = mysql_query("select distinct * from geocity where isAllowed='1' AND
country='" . $row['Code'] . "'"); $count = mysql_num_rows($reflex); if ($count == 1)
{echo 'checked';}else{echo '';} ?>>

<?
};
?>

<input type="submit" class='button' value="Save">
</form>

Here is my code but when i submit the for the problem occurs is that in the url "%0A" this occurs so how can I remove this %0A from the url.
the url looks something like this:
    example.com/test.php?allowed=1&countryname=AF%0A

A: The %0A is an url encoded character.
To remove them in PHP, use urldecode() function.
[ADD]
If you want to remove adding spaces (you have some here : value="AF "), use trim() function in the echo treatment.
And review your database content to remove spaces with TRIM like this :
UPDATE countries set countryname = TRIM(countryname);

A: To me it looks like you need to clean the Code field in your database to limit it to two characters.  Run this on your DB to clean up the data:
UPDATE geocity
SET Code = SUBSTRING(Code, 1, 2);

This is of course assuming that the first two characters for that field in each record are the two correct fields and that any newline characters present in the data come after those.
It should also be noted that your database access pattern could be greatly improved. You are running the same query twice within a loop. And if this is a loop through hundreds of country codes, you could be making hundreds of DB queries when you only need a single one.

A: With PHP use the following code:
 $string = str_replace("%0A"," ","text%0Amore");

In a move rarely seen in professional sports, the skippers of the EDS Atlantic Challenge unanimously agreed to postpone the start of the final leg of the race to give their fellow competitor, Sill Plein Fruit, the opportunity to rejoin the event.
"I am very grateful to all the skippers for their show of support by postponing the start by a day," Jourdain said in a phone link-up to an assembled crowd in Boston. "You would never see the Schumacher brothers making such a gesture. This goes to the heart of the EDS Atlantic Challenge and to the heart of professional sailing. It's why we love this sport so much." The crowd of invited guests attending a business networking function and prize giving in Boston erupted into applause at the news. "It's this kind of perseverance and dedication that is symbolic of the EDS Atlantic Challenge," said Charles Ansley, president, EDS information solutions, US. "It's why we are pleased to sponsor the event. Jourdain and his crew really epitomize teamwork and the need for excellence. We wish him well, indeed we wish all the competitors well for the race back to France." The final leg returns to St. Malo, France, where the first yachts are expected to finish between August 23 and August 26.

Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare sees huge drop in sales, but the franchise is still a beast
Posted on Last updated: November 30, 2016 Categories News
Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare hasn't been as well received by gamers as it has been by critics. While it's far from the best Call Of Duty out there, its campaign is being heralded as one of the best in years, and a solid reinvigoration of the franchise in that area.
Strangely, however, the multiplayer has received the brunt of criticism aimed at the game, which is ironic considering it's normally the bread-and-butter of the CoD experience, not the campaign. Unsurprisingly, just as we get one of the more clinical and familiar multiplayer experiences in the franchise's history, sales have also seen a significant drop off.
According to the Gfc Chart Track, Call Of Duty sales are down 43.6%, and that's after you take out the difference in sales for the Xbox 360 and PS3, of which had no Call Of Duty iteration this year. Despite Modern Warfare Remastered being added as a pre-order bonus, and it being arguably the best remaster we've ever seen, sales are down enough to suggest Activision needs to majorly rethink its approach to the franchise.
The fascinating thing, however, is not that sales are down so much: it's that the game is still so popular. It's come in at No.2 on the UK charts behind FIFA 17, which is an achievement in and of itself. For a game that has lost almost 50% of its market share to still come in second place, and for it to topple Battlefield 1, the year's highest-rated shooter, goes to show just how much of a monstrosity the Call Of Duty franchise is.
Battlefield 1 had a spectacular launch, outselling the launches of Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline combined. It was enough to propel it to second place behind FIFA 17 for the best launch of 2016. However, Call Of Duty has trumped it, pushing EA's acclaimed shooter to third place.
Activision earlier in the year told investors that it expected a drop in sales due to Infinite Warfare being a new franchise. However, it probably planned for this all along, which would explain Modern Warfare Remastered being bundled in. To see a 43% drop off, however, can't be a good look, especially with such an appealing pre-order bonus of such a high quality being offered.

Trump Extends Social Distancing Guidelines To April 30th
All About Arizona News March 29, 20202 min Read
President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he is extending the COVID-19 outbreak guidelines on social distancing until April 30.
Last week, Trump said he was hoping see most of the country return to normal by Easter. Top health experts warned that easing the guidelines too soon could cause more widespread deaths and economic damage.
Trump announced on Friday that he would consult with his administration's top medical experts on whether to extend or change the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to help with slowing the spread of the virus..
In Sunday's announcement, Trump said the Easter target date was "just an aspiration" and said he expects "great things to be happening" by June 1. Trump now believes Easter will mark "the peak number, and it should start coming down, hopefully very substantially at that point."
Coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, Dr. Deborah Birx said the choice to extend the guidelines was not made lightly.
"We know it's a huge sacrifice for everyone," she said, adding that more detailed guidance will be released Tuesday.
On Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN he anticipates the coronavirus could kill between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans while infecting "millions," though he said the outbreak is difficult to model as it is "such a moving target."
Trump said the goals of his administration in extending the guidelines is in hopes of avoiding a catastrophic death toll.
According to a Johns Hopkins University tracker, as of Sunday morning, roughly 140,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the U.S., which is the highest total of any nation, with more than 2,400 deaths.

Phoenix Meets COVID-19 Business Benchmarks


You only get one crack at making a first impression. And that first impression might determine whether a prospective student, horse owner or client will do business with you or keep looking for someone who displays a more professional image. Don't let this opportunity to shine get past you—take an active role in creating and subsequently maintaining your business image.
1) I have a marketing budget.
2) I have letterhead, envelopes and a business card.
3) My look is consistent from piece to piece and ties in to my ads and flyers.
4) I have a "tag line" that identifies my horse business.
5) If I were the customer, I would think that my business image is professional.
If you answered yes to all these questions, you are well on your way to a professional business appearance. Three yes answers means that there is still some work to be done; two yes answers means your approach is probably reactive rather than proactive; one yes means you need to get started right away; and zero yes answers. . .what business did you say you were in?
If you are bootstrapping your horse business, every penny counts. This low-cost method means creating a professional image with your desktop computer and an office supply store catalog. If you don't have a computer, find a friend who does and is willing to help. Your letterhead, envelope and business card will need to be saved in a file for repeated use. Choose a font (lettering style) that best represents your business. It's best to stick to one font and then make use of bold and italic styles to jazz things up. Mixing multiple fonts is the sign of an amateur. Next, choose your paper color and type. For business letters you will want fine business paper—one that has a watermark on it. The basic colors are white, gray and ivory. Use matching envelopes. You can purchase quantities as small as 100 sheets, or get a better buy with 500 sheets. Envelopes are sold in quantities of 50 to 250. You can also purchase business cards to print from the computer in these basic colors. Cards usually come 250 to a package. For approximately $50 you can get started with 500 letterhead, 250 envelopes, and 250 business cards. You can't afford not to.
You've decided that your look should have some color, and are looking for a cost-effective solution to having that look designed and printed. Some paper companies specialize in matching products that include not only letterhead, envelopes and business cards, but also brochures, postcards, award certificates, address labels, newsletters, paper frames for flyers and more. Going this route still only requires access to a computer and printer. Stationery sets of 100 letterhead, 50 envelopes and 500 business cards start at about $55.
You will need a little more of a designer's eye (or assistance from someone with such a talent) to put together brochures and flyers. Or you can look into computer software for this purpose. A benefit of designing and printing out your pieces on a computer is that you can do exactly what you need for the occasion at hand—there are no wasted printed materials. Corrections can be made easily and without waste when something changes—like your phone number, e-mail or prices. You won't be left with hundreds of pre-printed pieces that are no longer accurate.
If you are looking for a business image that is uniquely you, and your budget will support it, locate a graphic designer to assist you in creating your business logo. Choosing a color scheme will be part of the process. There are designers who specialize in the horse industry and designers who work through local print and copy shops. Do a little interviewing to determine who fits your needs and budget.
Once your logo is designed, the designer may also create your letterhead and business card too. Be sure to ask ahead of time if all these services are included in the price.
Printing has many options and price ranges. Remember that the more colors used the more expensive printing becomes. The designer might work with a particular printer and offer a complete package price. Or, the designer might suggest printers, and leave all the rest of the legwork up to you. If this is the case, in addition to searching the yellow pages, look for examples you like and ask where they were produced. Creating your look this way will start at $1,000 for a logo, letterhead and business card design, and two-color printing of 1,000 pieces. Keep in mind that the more you order, the more cost effective the job becomes. You'll want to be sure no address and contact information changes are imminent and if they are, limit your print run.
Whether going full-out or creating something in-house, that first impression is important enough to devote plenty of time toward your farm's business appearance. In fact, the more professional you are, the more professional your clients will be in dealing with you.

Two of the stars of cult hit comedy film Napoleon Dynamite have reunited for a television commercial.
A new Burger King advert features Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Efren Ramirez (Pedro) chowing down on tater tots. True to character, Heder asks if he can have one before casually reaching over and grabbing a whole handful.
The clip was produced by Honor Society and director Lucas Spaulding.
The comeback of the decade is here: Cheesy Tots. For a limited time now at Burger King.
The potato bites were Napoleon's snack of choice in the 2004 film. Watch the famous tots scene below.
In 2012, an animated television show that picks up where the film left off aired on Fox in the US and E4 in the UK. However, the series received mixed reviews and was cancelled after six episodes.
Heder has expressed an interest in reprising his role in a sequel.
Herder most recently starred in comedy-thriller Ghost Team, while Ramirez has appeared in animated sitcom Bordertown and teen comedy Varsity Punks.
watch Napoleon Dynamite every day! Fans of the 2004 movie "Napoleon Dynamite" are a select, fiercely loyal set. They are also somewhat of a niche audience, which might make it a tough proposition as a crossover animation hit in the best possible scenario. Sadly, Sunday's (Jan.


The Pet Deception campaign that was launched in June by the animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS celebrated a significant milestone several days ago: more than 100.000 people have already supported the initiative. Parallel to the campaign FOUR PAWS performed several investigations to discover facts of animal abuse in Europe. During one of the investigations members from FOUR PAWS were attacked by a puppy dealer. The incident happened in Belgium, a country that is known as a transit hub on the way from Eastern to Western Europe.
The dealer went berserk after the animal welfare campaigners had discovered sick and dying puppies on his puppy farm and asked him to help the animals (https://youtu.be/iVHZpuUhoJA). The dealer who also runs a famous Belgian website which sells animals online, insulted and expelled the campaigners from his property. He also damaged audio equipment worth EUR 10.000 and injured one member of the team. The situation calmed down when police intervened. Now the campaigners are considering taking legal action against the dealer.
This brutal case proves the fact that puppy trading is on the rise and is a highly criminal and violent business. Though it is very difficult to estimate the exact numbers due to a lack of statistical data, it is known that the trade in illegal animals and animal products is a very lucrative activity, where tax fraud is prevalent.
On puppy farms in Eastern Europe animals will spend their entire lives in poor living conditions, being used as breeding machines to produce litter after litter for profit. They are kept in dark sheds, basements, outbuildings, confined in small pens and fed poor diets. Production costs are kept low to ensure that the breeders make big profits. Puppies are torn away from their mothers at a young age, often as young as 4 weeks old. This early separation makes them prone to both behavioral and health problems. The puppies are then transported hundreds of miles across Europe usually with fake vaccination passports and TRACES (TRAde Control and Expert System) documents. They are often sold as homebred over the Internet directly by dealers who collect the dogs from the Eastern European transporters in the car parks near the ports or motorways.
Julie Sanders, Director of Companion Animals Department at FOUR PAWS, says: "The illegal pet trade has grown tremendously over the last decade and this has been helped by the Internet and the emergence of online classified ad sites. This has lead to the suffering of thousands of animals, which are kept in terrible conditions and sold online just like products at the click of a button".
To stop the illegal pet trade FOUR PAWS is running the Pet Deception campaign which calls on classified ad sites to implement its animal welfare measures. Based on a set of requirements developed by FOUR PAWS, the sites are ranked according to which measures they have introduced to protect animals sold on their sites. Everyone can help the cause by joining the 100,000 people that have already signed the online petition (http://www.petdeception.org/).
The Pet Deception international campaign is running in several countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Netherlands, Romania, Switzerland and the UK.

The eggplant, also known as aubergine, garden egg, guinea squash, melongene, and brinjal, usually has an egg-like shape and a vibrant purple color.
It is rich in fiber, low in calories, it provides a range of nutrients, and it features in the Mediterranean diet.
Although the dark purple version of eggplants is best known, the shape, size, and color can vary from small and oblong to long and thin, and from shades of purple to white and green.
This article will focus on the nutritional benefits of the traditional purple eggplant.
Eggplant comes in a range of colors, shapes, and sizes.
Cooking methods include steaming, roasting, boiling, baking, or frying, but steaming appears to preserve the antioxidant levels most effectively.
Scientists are looking for ways to maximize the antioxidants in eggplant while reducing the bitter flavor they bring.
In addition, eating foods containing certain flavonoids, including anthocyanins, may be associated with a lower risk of mortality from heart disease, according to a review published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) in 2008.
In one study, those who consumed more than three servings of fruits and vegetables per week containing anthocyanins had a 34-percent lower risk of heart disease than those who consumed less.
In another, an increased intake of anthocyanins was associated with significantly lower blood pressure.
Research has shown that when rabbits with high cholesterol consumed eggplant juice, this led to significantly lower weight and blood cholesterol levels.
Chlorogenic acid has been shown to decrease low-density lipid (LDL) levels. It also acts as an antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticarcinogenic agent.
Polyphenols in eggplant have been shown to have anti-cancer effects.
Anthocyanins and chlorogenic acid protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and, in turn, prevent tumor growth and the invasion and spread of cancer cells.
The anticancer action of anthocyanins appears to include preventing new blood vessels from forming in the tumor, reducing inflammation, and blocking the enzymes that help cancer cells to spread.
It also assists in the transport of nutrients into the cell and moving waste out.
Research has also shown that anthocyanins help prevent neuroinflammation and facilitate blood flow to the brain.
This could help improve memory and prevent age-related mental disorders.
Dietary fibers are commonly recognized as important factors in weight management and loss, because they act as "bulking agents" in the digestive system.
Eggplants also contain flavonoids, such as anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that have many health benefits. They also help give the eggplant its well-known, dark purple color.
The skin of the eggplant is rich in antioxidants, fiber, potassium, and magnesium.
The phenolic content of eggplant makes it such a potent free radical scavenger that this vegetable is ranked among the top 10 vegetables in terms of oxygen radical absorbance capacity.
Eggplants should be firm and somewhat heavy for their size, with a smooth and glossy skin and an intense purple hue. Avoid any that appear withered, bruised, or discolored.
They should be stored in the refrigerator until ready for use. Leaving the skin intact when storing will keep them fresher for longer.
Use a stainless steel knife instead of carbon steel, as this prevents the material from reacting with the phytochemicals in the vegetable, which can cause the eggplant to turn black.
To draw out some of the compounds that contribute to the eggplant's bitter taste and to make the flesh more tender, you can "sweat" the eggplant by cutting it into pieces and then sprinkling them with salt.
Let the salted pieces sit for about 30 minutes. Moisture will be drawn out, leaving the eggplant more tender, less bitter, and more palatable. This will also make the pieces less prone to absorbing any oil used when cooking. Finally, rinse the eggplant to remove most of the salt.
It can be prepared whole, cubed, or sliced, and can be fried, grilled, baked, roasted, or steamed.
Studies suggest that out of baking, boiling and steaming, steaming is the best way to preserve the levels of antioxidants.
An eggplant's slightly bitter flavor and spongy texture can make it a unique and interesting addition to many dishes.
Click here for an eggplant recipe book with a range of healthful ideas.
Baba ghanoush: To make a popular Middle Eastern dip, grill the eggplant in halves for 30 to 40 minutes, remove the flesh and blend with yogurt, tahini, lime juice, garlic and spices to taste. Top with roasted pine nuts and serve with pita bread.
Some people should not consume too much eggplant.
Nasunin and iron absorption: Nasunin, a phytochemical found in eggplants, binds with iron and removes it from cells.
This may be useful for people who have too much iron in their body. However, those with low levels of iron should not consume large amounts of foods that contain nasunin.
Solanine and inflammation: Eggplants are part of the nightshade family. Nightshades contain alkaloids, including solanine, which may aggravate arthritis or inflammation.
There is not enough research to confirm this, but many people with these conditions report relief when they exclude eggplants, tomatoes, and other nightshade foods from their diet.
A dietitian can help prepare a nightshade elimination diet to see if it improves symptoms.
Oxalates and kidney stones: Eggplants contain oxalates. Oxalates can contribute to kidney stone formation. Kidney stones can lead to acute oxalate nephropathy or even kidney death.
Foods containing oxalates, such as eggplant, are not recommended for those prone to kidney stone formation. People with kidney stones should limit their intake of oxalate-containing foods.
Eggplant can be a healthful addition to a varied diet that contains plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Some people do not like their bitter flavor, which may be due to the polyphenols, or antioxidants, they contain.
In the future, scientists may be able to genetically improve eggplants so that they contain high levels of beneficial nutrients and still remain palatable.

Making the Right Choice
We find the right match for every student.
The college search and application process is a challenging one. Parents, along with the college counselor, are important players in the college selection process; however, it is the student who plays the primary role. A successful college search is almost always the result of a family effort: the student's working with his or her parents on setting goals, discussing financial needs, making college visits, meeting with their college counselor, and attending college representative visits. The college counselor's role is to listen, provide guidance, and supply information on all aspects of the process, and, most of all, be a "sounding board" for the student in this critical decision.
Finding and selecting the appropriate college for each student is a thoughtful, considered endeavor that begins during the freshman and sophomore years. The Pennington School believes that every graduate should attend the college or university that suits his or her own interests and strengths. To identify the best match, each student's unique personality, achievements, and goals are taken into consideration.
Students from The Pennington School attend some of the most prestigious and selective colleges and universities in the country and abroad (see matriculation lists, below).
The Pennington School's College Counseling Office has created this resource for parents and students in an attempt to address the Impact of COVID-19 on College Admissions and Standardized Testing.
