The Green Hour: Low-emission vehicles, PA-NJ radio broadcast, June 29, 2015
No full textOur society is structured in such a way that most of us are so dependent on cars that it is not easy to simply give them up. But you can make a choice as to what sort of car you have and what level of impact you have on our environment. Do you choose one which gives you 50 mpg or one that gives you 10 mpg? Or is electric? What sort of car do you really need? Listen to the experts as they offer insights on what the best choices available and why.Guests: Michael Thwaite, President of Plug-in America and the NJ Electric Auto Association, and Professor Monica Mazurek of the School of Engineering at Rutgers University.Direct link to broadcast audio,http://www.greenhourradio.com/the-cars-we-drive-say-a-lot-about-us-2/Promo by host (Gery Juleff):You can love your car even more by.......if you make the right choice for your community and the environment.Let’s keep it simple.a Most of us need a car to fully participate in our social and economic environment. And many people enjoy cars.b) But there is a price to pay every time we drive – to our own pocket and to the health of our communities and the environment.c) So we have an obligation to minimize that damage.d) There are many ways in which we can do that, including driving less. But the most important thing we can do is choose a car that does what we need it to do but with the least damage.e) There are many, many options out there for all types of vehicles, from low emission gasoline cars to electric vehicles.f) Find out more on www.greenhourradio.com and listen to our discussion with Michael Thwaite, President of Plug-in America and the NJ Electric Auto Association, and Professor Monica Mazurek of the School of Engineering at Rutgers University on www.panjradio.com all this week at 3 and 6pm or later in the week via the podcast on www.greenhourradio.comg) What are you waiting for?Gery JuleffHost of the 'Green Hour'www.greenhourradio.com [email protected] 529 0149The Green Hour is sponsored by our supporters at Duke Farms.

La verità visibile nella natura e nella scrittura. Sul baco da seta di Khamis bar Qardahe (fine del XIII secolo)
No full textKhamis bar Qardaḥe was an East Syrian author active in the last decades of the 13th century, probably a representative member of the East-Syrian community at the court camp of the Il-Khans, and somehow connected with the town of Arbela. In the present article, his poetic work is presented in the broader context of the so-called ‘Syriac Renaissance’, as an example of late East-Syriac literature profoundly influenced by Persian poetry. The poem On the Silk-Worm is here critically edited and translated for the first time into a European language. Its complicated imagery turns out to be an interesting mélange of philosophical concepts, meta-literary reflection – poetry as a way to knowledge and salvation –, Christian themes – including the virginal conception of Mary –, and Persian, possibly Sufic, motifs. The monorhyme poem is rich with sound figures such as alliteration and etymological play

Steroid therapy for a case of severe drug-induced cholestasis.
No full textOBJECTIVE: To report a severe case of cholestatic liver disease successfully treated with corticosteroids following combined therapy with clarithromycin and nimesulide.
CASE SUMMARY: A 15-year-old girl was admitted with cholestasis probably related to treatment with clarithromycin and nimesulide for an upper respiratory tract infection. Other causes of liver disease (infections, metabolic liver disorders, genetic cholestatic syndromes, autoimmune diseases, primary biliary tract disorders) were excluded. Liver biopsy showed a severe canalicular cholestasis with bile plugs in dilated bile canaliculi, giant cell transformation, and portal and lobular infiltrate. An objective causality assessment suggested that cholestasis was probably related to clarithromycin and/or nimesulide use. No benefit was derived from a course of ursodeoxycholic acid therapy. Since the patient experienced a progressive worsening in cholestasis, prednisone was started after 20 days. This therapy was promptly followed by improvement in clinical and laboratory test results. After 2 months of prednisone treatment, the patient became symptom-free with normal liver function tests.
DISCUSSION: The manifestations of drug-induced hepatotoxicity are highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic hypertransaminemia to fulminant hepatic failure. No specific treatment for drug-induced hepatotoxicity exists. Early recognition and drug withdrawal are the keys to management of hepatotoxicity, but in some cases, liver disease may persist despite discontinuation of the drug. Possible advantages of corticosteroid therapy have not been well demonstrated.
CONCLUSIONS: Application of the Naranjo probability scale indicates a probable relationship between cholestasis and nimesulide plus clarithromycin use. This case draws attention to a possible therapeutic option for some cases of drug-induced hepatotoxicity that show a severe course without any sign of improvement
