KAS has integrated us and has given us a platform for solving our problems together. Now we feel more secured and have strength to face any uncertainty", states Kadmini Panda. The group has taken a loan of Rs. 3000 per person and has lent it internally at an interest of 36% per month to two women for starting rope-making and door-mats out of coir. Ropes are sold at the rate of Rs. 25 per kg while on mats the member entrepreneur earns Rs. 10-12 per mat. The loan from KAS Foundation has lent a hand to these women to pull them above the state they used to be in. It has helped out not only those who took the entrepreneurship but also those who did not have the courage to start a business, by providing them employment. Members' indebtedness towards KAS can be assessed from the group song which members sing with pride before starting their group meetings. The song eulogizes KAS Foundation and expresses members' gratitude for assisting them in improving their livelihoods and making them feel strong and united. The song goes on saying that together with KAS Foundation we women will bring about development in the entire State of Orissa.

We said goodbye to our NCE project officer Eniko Megyeri-Lawless, and we mourned the passing of Dr. Peter Garner, a dedicated member of the CSN Ethics Committee and a stroke survivor. At the close of 2002-2003, the terms of the following Planning and Priorities Committee PPC ; , members drew to a close: Drs. Kue Young, Stephen Phillips, Harold Robertson, Nathalie Dakers, and Nancy Mayo. We thank these PPC members for their scientific leadership and support during the critical first few years of the Network. We welcome the new PPC members: Mary Lewis, of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, Brian MacVicar of the University of British Columbia, and Nicol Korner-Bitensky of McGill University. At the Board level, Bill Tholl of the Canadian Medical Association, Susan Crocker, and Brian Field of Interdev Technologies stepped down as Directors. In recognition of his lifetime achievement in stroke research, the CSN named Dr. Henry Barnett a Director Emeritus. This year the CSN lost one of its founding Directors, The Honourable Ramon Hnatyshyn. In recognition of his commitment to the CSN, the Network established "The Ramon Hnatyshyn" keynote address to be delivered each year at the Annual General Meeting. We recognize the commitment and leadership of these Directors and thank them for generously giving their time and enthusiasm to the Network. We welcome the new CSN Directors: Dr. Aubrey Tingle of the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, Sally Brown of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, Anthony DiMonte of Emergency Medical Services Ottawa, and Eric Elvidge of Blakes Cassels&Graydon LLP. The CSN has much to be proud of in the past year, yet the disease of stroke continues to provide significant challenges. As a mature Network, the CSN is confident that it has the leadership, the expertise, and the experience to meet these challenges as it continues to forge strong partnerships. We look forward to an exciting year ahead. Oxytrol for men
New Prognostic and Predictive Test for Breast Cancer At San Antonio 2003, the validation study of a new test, Oncotype DXTM 21 Gene Assay, was presented. The test uses a 21 gene assay to determine the Recurrence Score RS ; for newly diagnosed node negative, estrogen receptor positive, tumor size 1 cm ; patients with breast cancer. The test makes use of new technology and can analyze extremely small samples of a patient's tumor that was biopsied or removed and stored in a formalin fixed paraffin wax block. Patients with tumors that had a Low RS had only a 3% chance of recurrence, while those with a High RS have a 27% risk of recurrence.
Worsening of depressive symptoms and emergence of suicidality may occur with treated or untreated depressive illness; patients should be closely monitored for suicidality in the first weeks of treatment, and if there is a change in dose up or down consideration should be given to changing or discontinuing therapy if worsening of symptoms persists or emergence of suicidality occurs with treatment; patients and caregivers should be advised to monitor for worsening illness, suicidal or selfharm-related thoughts and behaviour and advised to seek medical assistance immediately should these occur and detrol.
Introduction: Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a severe disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding type VII collagen, and is characterized by blistering below the lamina densa. Methods: We describe the case of an infant boy who presented at age 2 days to our clinic with a history of denuded skin. He was born at full term by spontaneous vaginal delivery to non-consanguineous parents. There was no family history of blistering diseases. Examination showed well demarcated areas denuded of skin involving the dorsum and sole of the right foot, right shin, and dorsum of the right hand. These areas were glistening with readily visible veins. Blisters were present on the left heel, where the patient had been held immobile the previous day in an attempt at venipuncture. Erosions.
6 If this difference in achieved BP was a necessary result of the initial blood pressure agent, then it would be of primary importance since achieving a blood pressure endpoint has the most potent effect on reducing the complications of hypertension. However, modern day blood pressure protocols for comparing blood pressure treatment medication protocols can achieve equal blood pressure endpoints. INVEST trial, ANBP2, Life trial ; . The authors of this meta-analysis make a decision to exclude all past trials using higher dose of diuretic because the lower diuretic dosage reflects current care guidelines. However, just as trials using high dose diuretics are outmoded, so are trials that construct inadequate antihypertensive treatment protocols that routinely fail to achieve equivalent blood pressure results between groups of medication. If equivalent blood pressure endpoints are not achieved with perhaps a different number of antihypertensive agents ; then the trial results are going to be driven by the difference in blood pressure. The ALLHAT generated meta-analysis has clinical relevance if equal blood pressure endpoints can not be achieved with drug protocols using a calcium channel blocker, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blocker as the initial blood pressure agent. In the end, the whole concept of a single preferred initial blood pressure agent for all antihypertensive patients has considerable less meaning given that multiple drugs are routinely needed for to achieve current guidelines for blood pressure. The potential for bias in a meta-analysis exist in multiple areas details ; . The "son of ALLHAT" meta-analysis shows bias in the following areas of its construction and conclusions. 1. 2. Inclusion exclusion criteria used. Statements of reliability concerning the methods used to perform this metaanalysis. 3. The conclusions which are reached. 4.

Immediately after ejaculating, hold the condom firmly in place at its base, and withdraw the penis while it is still erect. Do not re-use condoms. When finished, wrap used condoms in toilet paper and put them in a rubbish bin, not down the toilet. Do not use two condoms at once. If the condom breaks, visit your doctor or a sexual health clinic within 24 hours. The antimicrobial agent and dose chosen should be effective against at least 95% of local gonococcal strains. The antimicrobial agent chosen should be affordable. The antimicrobial agent chosen should be readily available. It should be possible to store the chosen antimicrobial agent under conditions e.g., refrigeration ; that will maintain the activity of the drug. It is important to consider the above factors when making decisions relating to treatment of gonorrhea. Determination of antimicrobial susceptibilities to therapeutic agents will help public health officials review the appropriateness of treatment recommendations for local populations, and surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibilities will promote effective disease control.
