"My ACL reconstructions don't require a brace !"
A conversation between a surgeon and Bledsoe Brace Systems…
When a physician states that his ACL reconstructions are so strong that his patients don’t require bracing, he is speaking strictly of the mechanical strength of the procedure. He is also acknowledging that most braces do not provide much protection against anterior tibial movement that places a strain against the reconstructed ACL. Functional braces do provide benefits beyond mechanical protection against ACL failure. For most braces, the proprioceptive role is their most important contribution to rehabilitation.
Many maneuvers occur so quickly that the body cannot react in time to reduce the force placed on certain structures (for instance the ACL). The result is failure of the structure. The physician then re-constructs the structure using various graft procedures. The graft is initially weak. New collagen is formed that must undergo maturation. The maturation time is quite long. The reconstructed ACL no longer provides signals from its mechano-receptors that quantify the strain it is experiencing. The primary reflex arc of the hamstring muscle (that protects the ACL) is therefore missing. The secondary hamstring reflex arc is too slow. Sports specific training tends to focus on precise concentric and eccentric contractions of the primary muscle group while training away the antagonist muscle therefore further reducing the ability of the hamstrings to protect the reconstructed ACL. Stable force and muscle patterns cannot be properly re-built until the strength of the reconstructed ligament has begun to reach a plateau, because these force patterns would be built on a moving target. During this time the patient is at risk for failure or progressive stretching of the reconstruction. His proprioception, particularly joint position sense, may be reduced. Patients therefore look for any external information that may help them experience a greater sense of stability.
Braces act as external biofeedback devices. They are giant skin amplifiers. They provide a great deal of information about force, position, movement, and acceleration. Different brace designs with different materials tend to produce slightly different effects. However, an overwhelming majority of patients experience increased confidence, increased ability to more quickly return to their former level of activity, as well as reduced sensations of instability when wearing a brace. There must be some reason for this observation. Braces are not something that people want to wear. When a patient says that he feels better in his brace, he may be speaking of the proprioceptive information it provides without knowing it. Different patients have different abilities when it comes to proprioception, joint position sense, and compensation.
The two major roles for bracing are proprioception and slowing the rate of load. In other words, a patient with a brace begins to perceive force before the point that his ligaments recognize the force. Or, the brace may be providing enough additional position or force information to overcome confusion in his force and muscle pattern systems. The brace also tends to slow the loading rate slightly. The result is a broader window in which the muscles can react to stabilize the joint. As long as the patient perceives some benefit from his brace that exceeds the detriments of wearing one, he will continue to use the brace.
Most patients will stop wearing a brace when it is no longer necessary. Clinically, patients usually tell the physician that their knee begins to feel normal between 18 months and 24 months following reconstruction. It may feel strong well before this point, but it usually does not feel normal. Therefore, think twice about the needs of the patient, they are not all mechanical.
Maybe they do need a brace!

Brampton - (2 Versions)
The "Brampton" model was only featured in the 1928 Pequegnat Catalogue. The one model has two distinct styles. One version has a crown piece on top of the case the other does not. The clocks both measure 15 1/2 inches in width and are 6 1/2 inches deep, however the clock with the crown is 11 1/4 inches tall and the clock with no crown is 10 1/4 inches tall.
Both clocks have eight day movements, however the "Brampton" with the crown has two tuned rods for the hour and the half-hour and the "Brampton" with no crown has just a single tuned rod to signal the hour and half-hour. On the single rod chime bracket there is a hole for the second rod however it has never been used and naturally the clock movement is only fitted with one strike hammer.
The label on the "Brampton" with no crown piece has hand written on it that it was sold for $8.00 on March 2 1926.
These are nice looking clocks that are very difficult to find.
The "Amherst" is also seen with these same two differing styles.

Sail shades are an excellent way to add that extra dimension to a garden, roof terrace or building.
Designs can permanently installed or designed to be set on rollers.
Whether you just enjoy sitting outside in your garden and want some protection from the elements or if you need to guarantee that a space which is regulary used for entertaining is always available, a ‘sail on land’ is an attractive and cost effective way to achieve this.
A prime example could be a wedding venue that has a terrace or coutyard. Not every venue has the luxury of having a room or space for all eventualities, most places need to multi task. The terrace might be needed to be used for photos, drinks or as the smoking area. The great British weather can be unpredictable and so to be able to quickly unfurl a sail shade can ensure a more confident programme for the day.
Schools often have limited playground / play areas, we all think that it is for children to play outdoors during break times but imagine how frustrating it is for them and their teachers if the rain or burning sun means that they end up being tucked up in a classroom.

text: Objectives: Noradrenaline released from sympathetic nerves is rapidly inactivated via the action of the noradrenaline transporter (NET). We aimed to determine whether a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the NET gene, rs7194256, was associated with blood pressure and plasma noradrenaline concentration in patients with resistant hypertension. Methods: Ninety-two consecutive patients with resistant hypertension participated in this study (age 62±1.3 years, BMI 32±0.6kg/m 2, mean±SEM). Blood pressure was assessed using 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Genotyping of rs7194256 (C/T) was performed using a predeveloped TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay. Plasma catecholamines were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: There were no differences in anthropometric measures between those carrying a T allele or the CC genotype. Patients carrying a T allele had significantly higher SBP: 24-h mean 148±2.6 vs. 140±2.4; 24-h max 189±3.2 vs. 179±2.6; 24-h min 114±3.0 vs. 105±2.3; night mean 141±3.0 vs. 131±2.5; night max 170±3.6 vs. 159±3.1; night min 118±3.4 vs. 109±2.4 (all P<0.05). T-allele carriers had a significantly higher arterial noradrenaline concentration: 573±53 vs. 377±35pg/ml (P=0.002) and lower ratio of the intraneuronal noradrenaline metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, to noradrenaline (3.01±0.4 vs. 4.08±0.3pg/ml; P=0.024). Conclusion: A SNP in the NET gene in patients with resistant hypertension is associated with higher plasma noradrenaline concentration and elevated SBP. Impaired NET function may be a contributor to the pronounced activation of the sympathetic nervous system characteristic of patients with resistant hypertension.

Educating Consumers on iBeacons and Other Location Aware Mobile Technology
Friday, October 31, 2014 by Stuart Parkerson
Earlier this year I was writing about location based marketing, specifically iBeacon technology and in that article I mentioned that my wife had no idea what an iBeacon was or how it worked. When I told her that it would allow a retail establishment like Target to let her know about special offers while she is in the store, she said, “I want that!” And then she said, “M...

Last weekend they led the parade down the High Street on Remembrance Sunday, with members playing the Last Post at the Memorial Gardens.
The band returned to competition this year after almost five years and were named as runners-up at the National Championships.
That success saw them invited to take part in the three-mile parade in the City of London on November 9 alongside the winners Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps.
The Traditional Youth Marching Bands Association’s championships were held at Whale Island in Portsmouth, the base for The Royal Marines and their band.
In their first appearance at the showpiece competition since 2015, the talented youngsters won a silver medal for overall performance.
They also secured gold for visual effect – marching and display – and another silver for musical effect.
The achievement was the culmination of half a decade of dedication and hard work since they were transformed into a chromatic band in January 2015.
Chromatic means the musicians play regular orchestral instruments such as cornet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, flute, clarinet and saxophone with drums.
Before then the 17th were a traditional army-style bugle and fife band. Bandmaster Martin Rapley said: “We have practically gone from scratch to second place in the competition.”
There are more than 60 in the band but 34 of the more experienced members were chosen for the contest in Portsmouth, where they stayed on board HMS Bristol, a decommissioned warship.
They played Aces High, Highland Cathedral, The Pink Panther, Swing March, the James Bond Theme and Dambusters March as well as a Royal Marines-style drum show
Mr Rapley said: “Although the other bands knew that we had changed our instrumentation, none of them had seen us perform since 2014 so it was a surprise for them how far we had come.
“We knew that there was no pressure on us, just excitement to show what we have been doing and find out how far we had come.”
He added: “To be able to leapfrog nine other bands and come second is amazing as we are still getting stronger.
“There was genuine surprise from the other bands, and of course everyone wanted to congratulate us for what we have achieved.”
They were judged on five elements: the wind section, percussion, general music effect, accuracy of drill and visual display. The judges were looking for degree of difficulty and entertainment value as well as precision.
The 17th struck up a rapport with winners Romford – they staged a joint performance of the Essex unit’s display piece, Zorba – before the invitation came in to accompany them at to the 804-year-old Lord Mayor’s Show.


The “Welcome to Flanders” sign at the corner of Pleasure Drive and CR 104 in Flanders was again targeted by vandals. The welcome sign was knocked down and damaged within the past few days, Southampton Town Police said in a press release Tuesday.
A Flanders man is facing menacing and endangering the welfare of a child charges after he threatened another person with a box cutter in the presence of a child, according to Southampton Town Police.
Southampton Town Police are looking for the person or persons who stole the “Welcome to Flanders” sign located on the corner of Pleasure Drive and County Route 104 in Flanders.
Southampton Police said the perpetrator identified by detectives called 911 to report the incident.
Police said a homeowner awoke to find an unknown man in the home and called 911. The intruder was rifling through a pocketbook. Another occupant of the home chased the intruder out of the house and detained him for police
The Southampton Town Board has authorized the purchase of the historic Griffing House property and the former 7Zs site.
A pedestrian in the intersection of Route 105 and Flanders Road was struck by two vehicles just before 7:30 p.m. yesterday, Southampton Town Police reported in a press release last night.
Family of Flanders man who drowned in Delaware River warns of danger from strong underwater currents in popular vacation spot
A local family has issued a grim warning over the dangers of water currents and undertow in seemingly calm rivers after the death of a 47-year-old man from Flanders who drowned in the Delaware River over Labor Day weekend.
Southampton Town is eyeing two seven-figure acquisitions of waterfront property in Flanders, including the long-vacant, blighted former Seven Zs scuba school on Flanders Road.
Southampton Police said they used surveillance camera vides to identify an 18-year-old man they arrested in connection with numerous thefts from vehicles in the Flanders area.

Today, in this article, we are going to share with you International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus 4th Edition PDF for free using direct download links mentioned at the end of this article. We have uploaded these PDF and EPUB files to our online file repository so that you can enjoy a safe and blazing-fast downloading experience. 🙂
But before that we proceed to the free PDF download of International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus 4th Edition PDF, lets take a look into few of the important details regarding this book.
The International Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus has been a successful, well-respected medical textbook for almost 20 years, over 3 editions. Encyclopaedic and international in scope, the textbook covers all aspects of diabetes ensuring a truly multidisciplinary and global approach. Sections covered include epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, management and complications of diabetes and public health issues worldwide.
It incorporates a vast amount of new data regarding the scientific understanding and clinical management of this disease, with each new edition always reflecting the substantial advances in the field. Whereas other diabetes textbooks are primarily clinical with less focus on the basic science behind diabetes, ITDM’s primary philosophy has always been to comprehensively cover the basic science of metabolism, linking this closely to the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of the disease.
Edited by four world-famous diabetes specialists, the book is divided into 13 sections, each section edited by a section editor of major international prominence. As well as covering all aspects of diabetes, from epidemiology and pathophysiology to the management of the condition and the complications that arise, this fourth edition also includes two new sections on NAFLD, NASH and non-traditional associations with diabetes, and clinical trial evidence in diabetes.
This fourth edition of an internationally recognised textbook will once again provide all those involved in diabetes research and development, as well as diabetes specialists with the most comprehensive scientific reference book on diabetes available.
Ralph DeFronzo (Author)
Dr. Ralph DeFronzo’s major interests focus on the pathogenesis and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and the central role of insulin resistance in the metabolic-cardiovascular cluster of disorders known collectively as the Insulin Resistance Syndrome. Using the euglycemic insulin clamp technique in combination with radioisotope turnover methodology, limb catheterization, indirect calorimetry, and muscle biopsy, he has helped to define the biochemical and molecular disturbances responsible for insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Prairie Reapers plan tractor pull, parade during Nobles County Fair this week
Tractor pull is Thursday evening in the grandstand; parade is Friday afternoon.
WORTHINGTON — It’s the year of the International, and the local Prairie Reapers tractor fanatics will have plenty of them — and other tractors — out and about at the Nobles County Fair in Worthington this week.
The International tractors will be the featured display near the grandstand, but all makes and models of tractors and their drivers are welcome to compete in an antique tractor pull, slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in front of the grandstand.
According to Prairie Reapers’ Norm Rehborg, people can still register to participate in the tractor pull by calling him at (507) 360-5951.
The Prairie Reapers will also showcase their tractors in the second annual tractor ride, slated to begin at 1 p.m. Friday from the fairgrounds. The route will have participants driving their tractors by Crossroads Care Center, the Meadows, Golden Horizons and South Shore Care Center, as well as around Lake Okabena. Rehborg said anyone with a tractor is welcome to participate in the tractor ride, and encourages tractors and drivers to line up at the fairgrounds just prior to the 1 p.m. parade start.
Among those participating in the tractor parade is David Kanten, a rural Fulda collector of International tractors. He has five of them, though only four are driven on a regular basis.
Kanten is so enthusiastic about Internationals that his white-colored house features red trim, complete with an IH-emblemed wooden barn quilt hanging on the east side to welcome visitors.
Kanten’s dad had International tractors, and his own collection began nearly 30 years ago when he purchased a 1938 F20 from the tractor salvage in Worthington.
“A guy brought it to the tractor salvage and they didn’t want it,” Kanten recalled. “The clutch didn’t work and it didn’t start. I drug it home and got it started in five minutes.”
Since his wife’s birthday was around that time, he said it was her birthday present. While that went over “like a ton of bricks,” she eventually told him that if it was her birthday present, he needed to get it painted and looking nice for her.
His second International tractor also came from the tractor salvage — a 1951 H with a bad motor. He got a different block, redid the motor and had that tractor running in about six months.
Then, when Loren and Judy Stevens had their farm sale south of Worthington in 2014, Kanten added a 1956 B International to his collection.
“It ran, but it was a bit banged up,” he shared. “I tore it down and put new seals in it.”
At the time, his granddaughter Olivia said she’d like a tractor, so the ’56 has her name on it.
“That’s pretty much my parade tractor,” Kanten said, noting that it has an extra seat and steering wheel, which is quite unusual. It’s also the lightest tractor in his line-up, making it easier to haul to parades.
A 1971 656 Hydro was purchased in Iowa with a bad hydro. Kanten fixed it up and used it for cutting and baling when he still had horses. It also has a snowblower attachment, which he uses during particularly harsh Minnesota winters.
And finally, there’s the 1946 M with an American road grader attachment made by American Machinery Co. of Omaha, Nebraska.
“It’ll run, but I haven’t run it in about three years,” Kanten said.
Some of the tractors have participated in Prairie Reapers events, and Kanten has also traveled to National Red Power Round-Up with them — going to Nashville, Tennessee and Montgomery, Alabama, as well as to events in Missouri, Wisconsin, South Dakota and throughout Minnesota.
Kanten is a longtime member of the Prairie Reapers, which marks its 36th anniversary this year. The group is always looking to expand its membership with tractor enthusiasts. For more information, see members of the Prairie Reapers at the fair this week.


Looks great. Works great. Couldn’t ask for anything to be better.
I love this
Exactly what I needed when traveling
Super fast charger
Charges really fast and looks good
Nice size, charges two devices
Nice size, charges two devices super fast.
Must for Shutterbugs like me
I am a photo maniac and I own several different cameras, camcorders, and even DJI drone cameras. So everytime when I travel or go outdoors to shoot photos and videos, I had to pack all the cables and chargers for each camera, which was extremely annoying and heavy. A friend of mine told me about this bronine camera charger and I first couldn't believe that there's such an innnovative charger like this! I ordered it right away hoping it works well and the result is fantastic! I now don't have to carry all the chargers with me anymore. Hallelujah! This is one of the kits I ordered. It perfectly fits my Nikon EN-EL14A battery and fastly charges it. So convenient that all chargers can merge into one!
Charges my Nikon EN-EL14A battery and Canon LP-E12 well.
I own several cameras and I usually use one at a time but sometimes I take more than one camera especially when I travel. I saw this amazing quadral multi compatible charger by chance and ordered it right away thinking that it's going to be so comfortable if I can charge all my camera with one single charger. I ordered Canon LP-E12 kit and Nikon EN-EL14A kit first for trial because I use those two most often. So the charger and kits arrived and it's amazing! It safely and fastly charges my genuine batteries and there's no problem at all. This idea to invent an universal camera charger is so genius. Now because I have trust in bronine products, I am going to order more kits for my other cameras and Gopro charging kits too.

Bombardier Transportation announced today that it has won an order from Bure for seven BOMBARDIER TRAXX F140 AC locomotives. The locomotives are designed for freight transport in Sweden and Norway, with delivery expected in the fourth quarter of 2012. The contract is valued at approximately 24 million euro ($31 million US).
Bombardier’s TRAXX F140 AC locomotives represent the state-of-the-art in electric rail freight transportation in the Nordic region. They are part of a family of locomotives comprising single- and multi-system electric and diesel vehicles. A common feature of all TRAXX locomotives is their modular construction.
Bure has purchased these locomotives to lease them to train operator RushRail AB. In April, RushRail won a multi-year transportation contract for Trätåg AB. Trätåg is a logistics company, owned by Stora Enso and Korsnäs. Its purpose is to handle rail transportation of forest products, timber, pulpwood and biofuel. RushRail will, in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner, transport timber and other forest products by rail from Stora Enso and Korsnäs’s timber terminals to their production sites around central Sweden. The contract is one of the largest of its kind in Sweden.
Peter Ammann, Vice President Sales & Marketing of Bombardier Transportation’s Locomotives Unit, said: “We are proud that Bure as a new customer and RushRail as the operator have chosen our TRAXX locomotives to serve this significant rail transport undertaking.”
“Rush Rail’s selection of the TRAXX locomotive for their operation enhances Bombardier Transportation’s position as the prime supplier of locomotives for the highly competitive and entirely deregulated Swedish commercial market of freight operation, where reliability and efficiency are paramount,” said Klas Wåhlberg, Chief Country Representative, Bombardier Transportation Sweden.
“At Bure, we are pleased to be able to offer highly competitive freight transportation services with TRAXX locomotives together with RushRail. We look forward to working together with RushRail and Bombardier on this long-term investment,” said Henrik Blomquist, Vice President of Bure.
“We at RushRail are excited to have gained the trust of Trätåg and Bure and we believe that this – together with the TRAXX locomotives – can be a solid basis for our future expansion,” said Jan Lindqvist, CEO and co-founder of RushRail.
Production of the locomotives will take place at Bombardier’s Kassel plant in Germany. The carbodies will be produced at Bombardier’s Wroclaw, Poland site, bogies at its Siegen, Germany site , while the Propulsion and Controls equipment will be manufactured at its Mannheim and Hennigsdorf sites, also in Germany.
The locomotives will be powered by the renowned BOMBARDIER MITRAC traction converters offering unmatched reliability. The related control system is the sophisticated MITRAC offering safe and energy efficient traction power for sustainable mobility. MITRAC equipment has been selected for well over 3,000 locomotives all around the world.

Why did the Vikings stadium Collapse?
The dome’s roof once against deflated and tore due to snow in the spring of 1983, postponing a Minnesota Twins game. Then in April 1986, the Metrodome roof tore but didn’t deflate due to high winds, which delayed a Twins game against the California Angels.
When did Vikings stadium Collapse?
Dec. 12, 2010
On Dec. 12, 2010, the Metrodome stadium’s roof collapsed due to an extreme snowstorm.
What NFL stadiums have collapsed?
“Believe me, FedEx Field is a dump and there’s no other way to describe it,” Reese told KYW’s Dave Uram. The incident reminded Reese and others of a disastrous 1998 collapse at Veterans Stadium during the annual Army-Navy game. The railing in front of temporary bleachers gave way.
What stadium collapse due to snow?
12, 2010 when the Metrodome collapsed in Minneapolis before the Vikings-Giants game. Little did the Vikings know the events that would unfold just around the corner. Just after 5 a.m. on a game day, the Metrodome’s roof collapsed under the immense weight of snow and ice built up on its billowy surface.
Why did they tear down the Metrodome?
In the spring following that same winter, on April 14, 1983, the Metrodome roof deflated because of a tear caused by late-season heavy snow, and the scheduled Twins’ game with the California Angels were postponed.
Where was the stadium that collapsed?
Part of a Dutch soccer stadium collapsed as fans celebrated their team’s victory by jumping up and down. Around 35 fans of Vitesse Arnhem fell as the stand buckled, but nobody was injured. The incident took place in the city of Nijmegen, and there are calls for an urgent investigation.
Do Twins play in a dome?
Located in Bloomington, MN the Twins shared this stadium with the Minnesota Vikings (NFL). By the mid 1970s it began to show its age. Both teams began to push for a new stadium and in 1977 the Minnesota State Legislature passed a bill authorizing construction of a multipurpose domed stadium.
Is the Minnesota Vikings stadium domed?
The 66,200-seat stadium occupies the site of the Vikings’ former home, the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, built in 1982. It too had a distinctive roof, although not in a positive way. The glass-fiber fabric dome notoriously and dramatically collapsed on Dec.
How many stadiums have the Vikings had?
Throughout their history the Vikings have never had a stadium of their own, sharing both stadiums with baseball’s Minnesota Twins (until 2010 when Target Field opened). In the early 2000s the Vikings lobbied numerous times to secure support from the State of Minnesota to fund the construction of a new stadium.
What collapsed the NFL dome?
The Metrodome had several nicknames such as “The Dome”, “The Thunderdome”, and “The Homer Dome.” Preparation for the demolition of the Metrodome began the day after the facility hosted its final home game for the Minnesota Vikings on December 29, 2013, and the roof was deflated and demolition began on January 18, 2014.
Does the Metrodome still exist?
The Metrodome was demolished, of course, to make way for U.S. Bank Stadium—the new home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers Baseball Team. The Gophers, if you remember, used to share The Dome with the Twins back in the day. The boys in maroon and gold finally got to play their first game at the new place last Friday.
Is the Metrodome still there?
The Vikings had to play their final home game of the season at the Detroit Lions’ home stadium of Ford Field. The Metrodome had to have its roof replaced and would not be used again until August 2011. The final collapse of the Metrodome came in 2014, when it was demolished.

Experts argue current treatment methods can have ‘unsustainable’ economic costs.
Calling the AIDS epidemic “the most important global health challenge in modern history,” more than 50 top scientists pressed their case Monday for a drive to stop the killer disease in its tracks.
Anchored by Nobel Medicine laureate Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, the group unveiled an aggressive research strategy for an outright cure—an objective once seen as unrealistic and out of reach.
“Not long ago, few considered the possibility that a cure for HIV infection could some day be possible,” said Barre-Sinoussi, who in 1983 helped identify the mysterious virus that causes AIDS. Today, “the search for a cure has become a top priority in HIV research,” she said in a statement, hailing a “new optimism” among experts.
The blueprint is published in the journal Nature Medicine ahead of a meeting of specialists on July 18-22 at the 21st International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa. The scientists take stock of many recent gains in treating the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but argue that the solution for ending the pandemic lies in a cure.
In 2004, AIDS deaths peaked at more than two million. Last year, the toll was around 1.2 million lives—a decline attributed in large part to the success of anti-retroviral (ART) drugs, which reduce the symptoms of people carrying the virus.
But less than half of an estimated 37 million people worldwide living with HIV receive therapy. Helping them to grasp that lifeline will require a huge, lifelong commitment. On top of that, the powerful drugs can have toxic side effects.
Those problems are “daunting” and the economic costs “might be unsustainable,” the strategy warned. As a result, preventing and destroying the virus should be top priorities.
On the prevention scoreboard, experimental vaccines show promise, but are probably years away. As for eradication, scientists understand far better now how HIV remains barricaded in tissues—such as the lymph nodes and the gut—after being beaten back by ART therapy, the standard drug cocktail given to HIV patients.
Research has found starting ART therapy early limits the ability of the virus to establish a redoubt. The scientists also outline an array of tactics for identifying how the virus tucks itself away inside the human body, and methods for flushing it out and killing it. But, they say, “the challenges… remain substantial,” and there are still many pieces missing in the puzzle.
One prime target is so-called CD4-plus T cells. These play a central role in the body’s immune system, which defends against viral and microbial intruders.
HIV finds secret hideaways in long-lived “memory” versions of these cells, but how the virus does this is not fully understood.
Another objective is to strengthen the immune system. Foot soldiers known as “broadly neutralizing antibodies” may be able to recognize these latently infected cells, and then call on specialized “killer” cells to destroy them.
Better lab tools are needed, the scientists added, for measuring HIV persistence.
A common idea is that HIV only needs a few CD4-plus T cells to hideout. But sequencing of viral genomes suggest the disease’s reservoir could be much larger.
Barre-Sinoussi launched the cure initiative in 2010 among a small group of scientists, some of whom were doubtful that eradicating HIV—as opposed to holding it in check—was feasible.
Two years later, the group developed its first long-term strategy, which is now being updated. Global investment in finding a cure has risen from $88 million in 2012 to $202 million in 2015, most of which came from the U.S. government.


The University of Maine continues to blow away the competition when it comes to offshore wind power. Friday, at the Advanced Structures and Composite Center a new piece of technology was unveiled. It’s a buoy-based floating LIDAR system which is basically a buoy with a laser on it. The laser will collect data on wind conditions. “Our goal here at the university is to figure out ways to bring that energy back home cost effectively to help reduce our energy costs and create jobs in our state,” said Dr. Habib Dagher, director of the UMaine Composites Center. ” We’re working on technology that’s going to measure something that hasn’t been measured before. We’re measuring wind speeds up to 1000 feet in the air in the open ocean which is a huge feat. Those measurements do not exist and without a floating LIDAR system the cost would be exorbitant,” added Anthony Viselli, a PhD student in structural engineering. The buoy will hit the water next Friday along with UMaine’s floating offshore wind turbine. The turbine will be the first grid-connected turbine of its kind in the United States.

B.C. teachers and students will be able to use Zoom video conferencing to help with remote learning amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The Ministry of Education said Wednesday it has secured licences for the popular service, which provides video and audio chatting, and online meetings, for all K-12 public and independent schools.
Zoom will allow teachers to explore and experiment with remote-learning methods, which will vary from school to school depending on students’ needs, the province said.
[ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ]
Teachers will receive access to Zoom through their school districts sometime this month.
Students will not need to set up an individual Zoom account to access their virtual classroom.
Earlier this month, the province indefinitely suspended in-class education for students in kindergarten to Grade 12 in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Kids were about to go on spring break, but that ended on Friday, and they have still not returned to schools.
Teachers and administrators are looking at a range of remote-learning options. Staff are allowed to return to work as long as they can follow social-distancing rules.
The B.C. government recently launched Keep Learning BC, a website that offers parents ideas for everyday educational activities, links to free learning resources, guides to maintaining routines, and mental health resources.

I guess you learned the hard way, but always use only aquarium safe silicone. The silicone like you used has those chemicals in it, that are designed to kill stuff like mold, algae, etc. It will take some work, but I think your tank is salvageable. It's hard to tell without waiting to see what happens, the plants may live but probably be badly affected with some melting, death, or severe wilting. The fish will probably slowly die, they may live but suffer a lot and be stressed which may lead to death on down the line.
I would first start by tearing down your tank and removing all décor, plants, etc. The fish could live in a large, clean, 5 gallon bucket for a few days. If you can install your filter on the bucket, great if not, may need to do daily water changes. Thoroughly clean and rinse all décor, plants, etc. and maybe soak in clean uncontaminated water for a day or so. While everything is out of the tank, I would remove any of the GE Silicone II that you used. A good utility knife will help cut and trim out any of that silicone. Once any of the possible bad silicone is removed, clean out the tank well, rinsing thoroughly. Then reseal what is needed with aquarium safe silicone. Let it cure and dry well. Then you should be able to set your tank up. You may want to do a water change daily for the first week, just to be sure any leftover residue or contaminates are gone.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Hope for Long-Lasting Relief
Nasal congestion, facial discomfort, stuffiness, headache — sufferers of chronic sinus infection know these symptoms all too well.
Now there’s hope for long-lasting relief through a new minimally invasive procedure at Olathe Medical Center’s Advanced Sinus Center called balloon sinuplasty. With no incision required, there’s less pain and swelling, and faster healing than with traditional sinus surgery. The procedure is a solution for patients who have struggled with this frustrating and painful condition, sometimes for years.
Facts About Sinusitis
Normally, the sinuses drain through small openings into the inside of the nose. Anything that blocks the flow may cause a buildup of mucus in the sinuses. The blockage and inflammation of the sinus membranes can be infectious or non-infectious. Although medication can help the majority of people get relief from their symptoms, there are still many that require an additional procedure.
The signs and symptoms of sinusitis may include:
- Facial pain, pressure, congestion or fullness
- Difficulty breathing through the nose
- Discharge of yellow or green mucus from the nose
- Teeth pain
- Loss of the sense of smell or taste
- Sore throat
- Bad breath
Ear, nose and throat specialists at Olathe Health were among the first doctors in the region to begin using a clinically proven, minimally invasive technology called balloon sinuplasty to treat chronic sinus infections.
The new procedure involves using a small catheter and balloon to quickly open and expand blocked sinuses. With the gentle and minimally invasive nature of the procedure, patients experience minimal pain, no hospital stay, and most are back to normal activities within 24 hours.
The invention of balloon sinuplasty provides an additional choice to the sinus treatment options at the Advanced Sinus Center at Olathe Medical Center. Balloon sinuplasty technology is clinically proven to be safe, effective and improve the quality of your life.
Safe and Effective
While use of any surgical instrument involves some risk, clinical research has indicated the balloon sinuplasty system to be safe and effective in improving symptoms of sinusitis.
The technology uses small, soft, flexible devices that enter entirely through the nostrils. These devices gently open blocked sinus openings, and in many cases, without tissue or bone removal.
Because in many instances no tissue or bone is removed when using this technology, there may be little bleeding associated with the procedure.
Quick Recovery Time
While recovery time varies with each patient, many people can quickly return to normal activities.
Does Not Limit Treatment Options
This technology is an endoscopic tool and may be used with other medical therapies or sinus surgery techniques. It does not limit future treatment options if you have progressive disease.


After a busy and productive week, you get an urgent call from a client. They have a rush job and need it completed right away. The manufacturing unit operates over the weekend, but you need to add an additional shift to meet the deadline. Now imagine, with all details finalized, the project moves forward at a rapid rate. Then something terrible happens.
A machine part breaks and work comes to a screeching halt. The job is seriously delayed, and the client is unhappy because their product’s specific demands could not be met by the manufacturing unit. And the manufacturer is left asking, “What happened, and why? And how can we do better next time?” A fabrication unit comes to the rescue and delivers customized production by carefully constructing the product. While a lot of people confuse the difference between manufacturing and fabrication; manufacturing and fabrication are two commercially used terms in the production of finished metal or construction of structures using a metal.
However, one of the most common questions that steel plate fabricators get is “What is the difference between manufacturing and fabrication?.”
If you too were searching to get a clear idea of how these two processes are distinct, you have landed at the right place.
Take a quick read to know the major differentiating aspects of manufacturing and fabrication.
- Oxford defines ‘manufacture’ as “make (something) on a large-scale using machinery.” While, ‘fabricate’ word has been defined as “construct or manufacture (an industrial product), especially from preparing components.
Now let’s understand what makes the processes of both manufacturing and fabrication different from each other.
The manufacturing of, for example, structural steel, is the process of producing the final structure of the steel material by combining raw material as per the means of large-scale industrial operations. The entire process of manufacturing is only to produce structural steel.
What Is Fabrication?
Fabrication, on the other hand, is the process where you bring together different standardized manufactured structural steel parts. The parts are then welded, assembled, or ‘fabricated’ together. Thus, the entire process of fabrication is to create steel structures, machinery, and other such components made of structural steel.
So, in relative terms manufacturing can be referred to as the manufacturing of steel structures while fabrication could be a part of the manufacturing process of the entire steel structures.
The manufacturing goal is to create steel parts that could be easily assembled and then fabricated together. While the goal of fabrication process is to create robust and long-lasting structural steel components and structures.
Let’s take a look at another example to understand the difference between the processes. Let’s assume that a company is importing parts for a shipping vessel and assembling them to create a finished ship. Now, the process of producing complete ships/boats carried out by this company can be considered as the fabrication process. Here, the company does not manufacture ships from scratch. Therefore, the entire development of manufacturing is done at other factories where the parts for this ship are made using raw materials.
Fabrication is an industry term that refers to the manipulation of raw materials (such as steel) to make machines and structures. The services of fabricators are needed to build the parts of a working system and then throughout the process. Simply said, ‘fabrication’ is the manufacturing operation for making components, as opposed to assembly operations.
What are the benefits of ERP in the manufacturing industry and the fabrication industry?
Today’s business landscape is very different from that of only a decade ago. With the rise of new technologies and global competition, the way we manage manufacturing vs fabrication operations have changed dramatically. Explore how OptiProERP, a manufacturing ERP, is helping manufacturing and fabrication businesses better manage their operations. Schedule your personalized demo.

An ovarian cyst is a buildup of fluid within an ovary surrounded by a thin shell, or membrane.
You have two, small, grape-shaped organs called ovaries inside of your abdomen (belly) on either side of your uterus. One amazing fact that most women do not usually know is that when you are born, your ovaries are already filled with millions of eggs.
When you reach puberty, chemicals from the pituitary gland in your brain signal your ovaries to ripen an egg. The ovaries produce eggs, as well as the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
During a woman’s monthly cycle of ovulation, the ovaries form cysts which contain these eggs.
Usually, once a month an egg is released from a fluid-filled sac in the ovary, so it can travel through the fallopian tube to the uterus. This is called ovulation, which, as you know, is an obligatory part of your monthly cycle.
That “fluid-filled” (or sometimes, solid) sac in or on your ovary is called an ovarian cyst. An ovarian cyst is a buildup of fluid within an ovary surrounded by a thin shell, or membrane.
It develops in the ovary and usually resolves with the monthly ovulation, in which the egg is released: the cyst fluid is also released and the cyst then resolves. This is a very small amount of fluid that is absorbed by the body.
Ovarian cysts may affect both ovaries at the same time, or they may only affect one. Ovarian cysts may be up to 4 centimeters or 1.5 inches in size. Occasionally, these cysts remain and grow up to two to three inches. But these, too, usually resolve naturally in your body within a month or two.
Most of the time, ovarian cysts are painless and harmless. You might get one every month as part of your cycle and never know it. Cysts are also common when you are pregnant.
Most women will have an ovarian cyst sometime during their life. In most cases, it will go away on their own. However, if you have persistent symptoms or you are getting older, an ovarian cyst warrants follow-up.
A cyst becomes a problem when it doesn’t go away or gets bigger. It can become painful. There is also the possibility of cancer, but in fact, it is rare. The chances go up as you get older.
The good news, though, is that the majority of ovarian cysts have nothing to do with cancer, gynecologists report. More often than not, ovarian cysts are benign. These cysts are painless and cause no symptoms.
When to worry
Oftentimes, ovarian cysts do not cause any problems. However, symptoms can appear as the cyst grows.
An ovarian cyst usually only causes symptoms if it splits (ruptures), is very large, or blocks the blood supply to the ovaries. In these cases, a woman may have the following:
- pelvic pain – this can range from a dull, heavy sensation to a sudden, severe and sharp pain
- pain during sex
- difficulty emptying her bowels
- a frequent need to urinate
- heavy periods, irregular periods or lighter periods than normal
- bloating and a swollen tummy
- feeling very full after only eating a little
- difficulty getting pregnant – although fertility is unaffected in most women with ovarian cysts (see ovarian cysts and fertility)
If a cyst ruptures, it can cause sudden, severe pain.
If a cyst causes twisting of an ovary, you may have pain along with nausea and vomiting.
Severe symptoms of an ovarian cyst that require immediate medical attention include severe or sharp pelvic pain, fever, faintness or dizziness, and rapid breathing.
These symptoms can indicate a ruptured cyst or an ovarian torsion. Both complications can have serious consequences if not treated early.
What kind of help you can seek
There is no way to prevent ovarian cyst growth.
However, regular pelvic examinations will allow for early treatment if needed. This can often prevent complications.
To protect your health, see your doctor if you have persistent symptoms of an ovarian cyst. Your doctor may do a pelvic exam to feel for swelling of a cyst on your ovary.
If a cyst is found, your doctor will either watch and wait, or order tests to help plan treatment. Tests include:
- Ultrasound. This test uses sound waves to create images of the body. With ultrasound, your doctor can see the cyst's shape, size, location, mass (whether it is fluid-filled, solid, or mixed)
- Pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy
- Hormone level tests to see if there are hormone-related problems
- Blood test. If you are post-menopause, your doctor may give you a test to measure the amount of cancer-antigen 125 (CA-125) in your blood. The amount of CA-125 is higher with ovarian cancer. In premenopausal women, many other illnesses or diseases besides cancer can cause higher levels of CA-125.
The National Institutes of Health estimates that 5% to 10% of women have surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. Women health specialists note that only 13% to 21% of these cysts are cancerous.
Your cyst may require surgery if you are post-menopause, or in the case if your cyst:
- Does not go away after several menstrual cycles
- Gets larger
- Looks unusual on the ultrasound
- Causes pain
If your cyst does not require surgery, your doctor may talk to you about pain medicine. Your doctor may recommend over-the-counter medicine or prescribe stronger medicine for pain relief.
If you have cysts often, your doctor may prescribe hormonal birth control. Hormonal birth control – such as the pill, vaginal ring, shot, or patch – help prevent ovulation. This may lower your chances of getting more cysts.
Types of surgery
Some ovarian cysts will need surgery. That includes cysts that are large, do not go away, or cause symptoms. Cysts in women near menopause may need surgery. That’s because they may be cancerous. The surgeon may take just the cyst, or the ovary. It depends on your cyst.
Surgery in case of ovarian cysts may be recommended in the following cases:
- the cyst is large or appears to be growing
- the cyst does not look like a functional cyst
- the cyst persists through 2 to 3 menstrual cycles.
Two types of surgery are:
- Laparoscopy, or keyhole surgery: The surgeon uses very small tools, to remove the cyst through a small incision. In most cases, the patient can go home the same day. This type of surgery does not usually affect fertility, and recovery times are fast.
- Laparotomy: This may be recommended if the cyst is cancerous. A longer cut is made across the top of the pubic hairline. The cyst is removed and sent to the lab for testing. The patient usually stays in the hospital for at least 2 days.
Ovarian cysts and fertility
Ovarian cysts don't usually prevent you from getting pregnant, although they can sometimes make it harder to conceive.
If you need an operation to remove your cysts, your surgeon will aim to preserve your fertility whenever possible. This may mean removing just the cyst and leaving the ovaries intact, or only removing one ovary.
In some cases, surgery to remove both your ovaries may be necessary, in which case you'll no longer produce any eggs. Make sure you talk to your surgeon about the potential effects on your fertility before your operation.

(Cybertech) – Apple is now selling its AppleCare+ accidental damage warranty coverage for Mac in single year increments, as reported by Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter.
The move doesn’t come from out of the blue, as Apple has already been offering one year AppleCare+ subscriptions directly from a newly purchased Mac for the past month or so, but now the option has expanded to be able to be purchased at Apple’s retail and online store, mobile app and phone support hotline.
Two years ago, Apple introduced the option to sign-up for AppleCare+ on a month-to-month basis, but now we’re seeing an option that lands somewhere inbetween a 30-day renewal period and a three-year fixed plan.
Of course, in typical Apple fashion, the pricing doesn’t come at a one-to-one rate with the traditional three-year plan, oh no – this new annual option comes at a slight premium depending on which make and model you plan on covering.
As an example, we’ll take the most luxurious laptop in Apple’s lineup, the 16″ MacBook Pro. A standard three-year AppleCare+ plan would cost £399 / $379 a year, but under the new annual plan, three years in a row at $139 would come out to over $40 more than just buying the complete three-year package upfront. Of course, there are two obvious benefits to this new annual option – one is that it allows you to give your Mac some extra protection despite not being able to afford the complete price of AppleCare+ at purchase, and secondly it offers you the opportunity to skip renewal for a second or third year should you decide you no longer need the extra coverage or choose to give up your machine for a newer or entirely different model altogether.
At the moment, it doesn’t look as if annual AppleCare+ subscriptions for Mac are available yet in the UK, but since Apple is giving this a wide release in the US, expect to see a global rollout follow shortly.

Vetements Has Been Invited to Paris Couture Week
Demna Gvasalia’s buzzworthy label is coming to the French capital this summer.
To call the rise of Demna Gvasalia‘s Vetements anything but meteoric would be an injustice to the Georgian designer and now his imprint can add yet another accolade to its growing list as the label has been tapped to appear at Paris Couture Week this summer. The Balenciaga artistic director‘s label has made the cut alongside the likes of J. Mendel, Yuima Nakazato, Francesco Scognamiglio and Iris Van Herpen and will appear in one of the coveted new guest member slots at the event this summer.
So what exactly will Gvasalia have in store for the French capital? Only time will tell, but Vetements’ show will hit Paris sometime between July 3 and July 7.
