Lesson: Understanding Chemical Compounds

Introduction:
Chemical compounds are substances formed when two or more elements combine together. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of chemical compounds, their properties, and how they can be used to improve our lives.

Section 1: Types of Chemical Compounds

**Topic 1: Ionic Compounds**
Ionic compounds are formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal. These compounds have high melting and boiling points because they are held together by strong electrostatic forces between the positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. Examples of ionic compounds include sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium oxide (CaO).

**Topic 2: Covalent Compounds**
Covalent compounds are formed when two non-metals share electrons to form a bond. These compounds have low melting and boiling points because they are held together by weaker forces than ionic compounds. Examples of covalent compounds include water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

**Topic 3: Acids and Bases**
Acids and bases are two types of chemical compounds that play important roles in many chemical reactions. Acids have a sour taste and can donate hydrogen ions (H+) to other molecules, while bases have a bitter taste and can accept hydrogen ions (H+) from other molecules. Examples of acids include vinegar (CH3COOH) and citric acid (C3H5O3), while examples of bases include baking soda (NaHCO3) and soap (C17H35NO3).

Section 2: Properties of Chemical Compounds

**Topic 1: Solubility**
The solubility of a chemical compound depends on its polarity. Polar molecules, such as water (H2O), are more likely to dissolve other polar molecules, while nonpolar molecules, such as oil (C6H14), are more likely to dissolve nonpolar molecules. This property is important in many applications, such as cooking, cleaning, and medicine.

**Topic 2: Conductivity**
Conductivity refers to the ability of a substance to conduct electricity. Ionic compounds, such as salt (NaCl), can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because the ions are free to move and carry an electrical charge. Covalent compounds, such as sugar (C12H22O11), do not conduct electricity because they do not have charged particles.

Section 3: Applications of Chemical Compounds

**Topic 1: Medicine**
Many chemical compounds have important medical uses. For example, aspirin (C9H8O4N2) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reduces pain and inflammation, while penicillin (C9H14N2O4S) is an antibiotic that fights bacterial infections.

**Topic 2: Industry**
Chemical compounds are used in many industries, such as agriculture, manufacturing, and construction. For example, fertilizers (such as ammonium nitrate) contain chemical compounds that provide essential nutrients to plants, while concrete (such as Portland cement) contains chemical compounds that harden and strengthen when mixed with water.

Conclusion:
Understanding chemical compounds is important in many fields, from medicine to industry. By studying the different types of compounds and their properties, we can gain a deeper understanding of how they work and how they can be used to improve our lives.

Abortion proponents push for easy access to abortion, deemphasizing its after-affects to the point they absolutely refuse to acknowledge post-abortion depression, which further incapacitates those actually living through it.

This is such a tragedy. Charlotte Dawson, RIP, was born in New Zealand but achieved fame in Australia as a model and a judge on Australia’s Next Top Model.

From The Telegraph, February 23:

In the end it seemed like the final, inevitable episode of a tragic soap opera: Charlotte Dawson — the model, TV star and social crusader who spent many of her adult years battling depression — ended her life at the age of 47.

It is understood Dawson was found hanged in her luxury Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf apartment by a security guard on Saturday morning, the day after the birthday of her ex-husband and the man she still described as the love of her life – disgraced Olympic swimmer Scott Miller….

But friends believe she had never really gotten over her marriage to Miller, which ended in divorce after only a year. In her tell-all autobiography Air Kiss And Tell, she revealed she had an abortion because the pregnancy would interfere with Miller’s preparation for the 2000 Olympics – and blamed that for the start of her long battle with depression.

More from The Australian:

Ms Dawson gave an insight into her life – both her troubles and the highlights – in her autobiography, released late 2012.

In the book, Air Kiss and Tell, she revealed she had had an abortion with her former husband, Olympic swimmer Scott Miller, so that he would not have any distractions in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics.

She had been looking forward to having a baby but sensed “hesitation” in Miller.

”Everything Scott had done was leading up to this moment and nothing could stand in his way, so it was decided that we would terminate the child and try again later. Who needed a developing foetus when a gold medal was on offer, eh?”

Ms Dawson wrote that she was alone when she had the termination.

In he book she wrote that this was her first experience with depression – a battle she continued to fight for the next 14 years.

The Guardian:

Miller… did not go with her when she had the procedure.

But on this side of the pond, newsrooms aren’t mentioning the abortion connection.

Associated Press:

Dawson revealed in her 2012 autobiography “Air Kiss & Tell” that she was frequently visited by the “depression bogeyman.”

People:

Despite her professional successes, Dawson’s personal life was often tumultuous. In 1999, she married Olympic swimmer Scott Miller. Although the marriage ended after a few short months, she struggled with the breakup and said he was the only man she would ever marry.

After Miller recently gave a tell-all interview to 60 Minutes in Australia, Dawson spoke out: “I continue to fight my depression”…

CLICK LIKE IF YOU’RE PRO-LIFE!

Seemingly a stab, from E! Online:

Per the BBC, Dawson suffered with depression for a very long time and was admitted to a hospital in 2012 after being targeted by cyber bullies.

Dawson married Olympic swimmer Scott Miller in 1999 but they were divorced two years later. She had no children.

Awful.

LifeNews.com Note: Jill Stanek fought to stop “live birth abortions” after witnessing one as an RN at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. That led to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act legislation, signed by President Bush, that would ensure that proper medical care be given to unborn children who survive botched abortion attempts.

Q:

¿Por qué recibo el error "Customer Not Found" al intentar pagos con tarjetas guardadas?

Estoy probando los pagos con una tarjeta guardada. Cada vez que intento generar el pago en mi servidor (node.js) recibo el error de MercadoPago 2002: Customer not found. El error solamente ocurre cuando ocupo la tarjeta como guardada, sin embargo si uso la misma tarjeta ingresandola manualmente, esto no ocurre.
Estos son los datos que envió para el crear el pago:
var payment = {
binary_mode : true,
description : req.body.eventInfo.title,
transaction_amount : req.body.paymentInfo.total,
payment_method_id : req.body.paymentInfo.paymentMethod,
issuer_id : req.body.paymentInfo.issuer,
token : req.body.paymentInfo.token,
installments : req.body.paymentInfo.installments,
payer : {
  email : req.body.userInfo.email
}

El front-end que utilizo es Android y no genera ningún error.
La tarjeta de prueba que estoy usando son las proporcionadas por MercadoPago.
Ya me he paseado por toda la documentación de MercadoPago y no he encontrado nada útil.

EDIT: Continué con mis pruebas y entendí que debo agregar el ID del Customer en la solicitud para crear el pago. Ahora la cuestión es que el customer_id es un String (Ej. "244287696-igVP5aqibPydEp") y la solicitud requiere que en el campo payer.id se coloque un Integer. Ya intente usando los primeros números del ID (Ej. 244287696) pero me devuelve el mismo error "Customer not found".
Hice el mismo procedimiento con la tarjeta guardada, y con una introducida manualmente, ambos el mismo resultado. Realmente la documentación es muy pobre y no encuentro solución aún.

EDIT 2: Finalmente encontré la razón del problema y una solución. Gracias a @hdlopez por su respuesta, continué probando enviar el customer_id como String y obviamente me devolvió el siguiente error:
Error: The next fields are failing n validation: ".payer.id": should be integer.

     at tryOnImmediate (timers.js:622:5)

De lo que no me había percatado es que es un error del SDK de MercadoPago, no un error devuelto por su API. Entonces probé hacer el request de manera manual con cliente REST. Lo hice con los siguientes datos de prueba:
{
    "transaction_amount": 100,
    "token": "274ea...",
    "description": "Title of what you are paying for",
    "payment_method_id" : "master",
    "installments": 1,
    "payer": {
        "id": "244287696-igVP5aqibPydEp"
    }
}

Y me devolvió el pago correctamente sin ningún error. Como solución temporal estoy usando un cliente HTTP REST en mi servidor para enviar la solicitud de pago.
El error ocurre con el SDK de MercadoPago "px-nodejs-1.0.0" y voy a ver como puedo reportar este bug.

A:

Vamos a ver si te puedo ayudar. Vamos punto por punto:
Alta de tarjeta (creación de customer)
Una vez creado el customer como dice la documentación puedes asociarle una tarjeta a partir de un token de tarjeta (card token). En este punto, asegurate que el cuando crees el token de tarjeta hayas ingresado el nombre del dueño de la tarjeta (card holder name). Hay veces que esto puede dar problemas, no necesariamente, pero es una buena práctica.
Pago con tarjeta guardada
Una vez creada la tarjeta para cierto customer obtienes información de dicha tarjeta guardada, entre ellos el id. Con ese id tendrás que crear un card token. Este token es el que enviarás en el pago.
Respecto al payer.id que debes enviar en el pago, no he encontrado donde dice que este campo es integer. Intenta enviar en dicho campo el customer_id que has mencionado, ej: "244287696-igVP5aqibPydEp"

var payment = {
  binary_mode : true,
  description : req.body.eventInfo.title,
  transaction_amount : req.body.paymentInfo.total,
  payment_method_id : req.body.paymentInfo.paymentMethod,
  issuer_id : req.body.paymentInfo.issuer,
  token : req.body.paymentInfo.token,
  installments : req.body.paymentInfo.installments,
  payer : {
    id: "244287696-igVP5aqibPydEp"// Customer ID del payer
    email : req.body.userInfo.email
  }

Espero sea de ayuda.

Lesson: Understanding Parodies in Pop Culture

Introduction:
Parodies are a form of humor that imitate the style of something, often with exaggerated or ridiculous results. They are commonly used in movies, television shows, music, and literature to make people laugh. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of parodies and their role in pop culture, particularly in superhero movies.

Section 1: What is a Parody?

A parody is a work that imitates the style of another work, usually in a humorous way. It can be a song, movie, book, or any other form of art that takes inspiration from another piece of work and adds a comedic twist to it. Parodies often use exaggerated characters, situations, and dialogue to create humor.

Section 2: Parodies in Superhero Movies

Superhero movies are a popular genre in pop culture. They often feature larger-than-life characters with extraordinary abilities who fight villains and save the world. Parodies of these movies can be found in magazines like MAD, which has been publishing parodies of superhero movies since the 1960s.

Mad About Superheroes, Volume 2 is a collection of parodies that poke fun at some of the most famous superhero movies, including Spider-Man, THE DARK KNIGHT, Iron Man, WATCHMEN, SUPERMAN RETURNS, X-MEN, The Incredibles, Fantastic Four, and The Hulk.

Section 3: Creating Parodies

Creating a parody requires a deep understanding of the original work and its audience. The creator must identify the elements that made the original work successful and then exaggerate or twist them to create humor. This can be done through characters, situations, dialogue, or even the overall plot.

Activity: Create your own parody

1. Choose a movie or book that you enjoy.
2. Identify the elements that made the original work successful.
3. Exaggerate or twist these elements to create humor.
4. Write a short script or summary of your parody.

Section 4: Analyzing Parodies

Parodies can be analyzed to understand their impact on pop culture and society. They can reveal social attitudes towards certain topics, expose cultural differences, and provide insight into the human experience. By studying parodies, we can learn more about ourselves and our relationship with the media we consume.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, parodies are an important part of pop culture that allow us to laugh at ourselves and our obsessions. By studying them, we can gain a deeper understanding of our society and the media we consume. Mad About Superheroes, Volume 2 is a great example of how parodies can be used to poke fun at superhero movies and the people who love them.

SB1193
An Act Relative to Emergency and Disaster Planning For Healthcare Providers

The Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association (MHA), on behalf of its member hospitals, health systems, physician organizations and allied healthcare providers, appreciates this opportunity to offer comments in strong support of SB1193 “An Act Relative to Emergency and Disaster Planning for Healthcare Providers.”

This MHA priority legislation provides important and timely liability coverage for those providers and others who volunteer to assist during a state-declared disaster or pandemic situation. The goal of the bill is to ensure that the healthcare community is best able to respond quickly with all available resources to effectively assist and treat patients during a government-declared disaster or pandemic.

SB1193 ensures protections for healthcare professionals that are providing services in emergency situations and where they may be asked to provide services outside of their scope of practice – for example, a primary care physician assisting in an emergency department or providing specialty services. This legislation certifies that no healthcare provider shall be liable in a suit for damages or administrative sanctions as a result of good faith acts or omissions while engaged in the performance of duties in rendering emergency care, treatment, advice, or assistance during a declared statewide or regional public health emergency, or while acting as a result of a pandemic or a disaster.

While there are federal, state, and local statutory and constitutional limits on civil liability for normal volunteer practices – such as volunteer protection statutes or governmental immunity provisions – these protections are afforded only to government employees or agents. Current “Good Samaritan” statutes also do not provide sufficient protections to medical professionals who are providing services during the course of their normal work. The specific liability protections called for by SB1193 are needed to ensure the ongoing viability and strength of the healthcare system in such emergency situations.

There is no doubt that a pandemic or disaster event will require collaborative and detailed planning efforts, including the recruitment and training of volunteer healthcare professionals, to ensure the goal of providing the best possible care to the greatest number of people as quickly as possible. To be more fully prepared for such instances, we need to be able to identify and eliminate the legal and administrative barriers that could impede the deployment of these professionals. SB1193 will provide the necessary liability protections for providers so that the commonwealth’s statewide preparedness planning and volunteer recruitment can be most effective. We respectfully urge the committee to issue this bill a favorable report.

Thank you for the opportunity to offer testimony on these important matters. If you have any questions, or require further information, please contact Michael Sroczynski, MHA’s Vice President of Government Advocacy, at (781) 262-6055 or msroczynski@mhalink.org.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid is set to use the Conservative Party conference to announce the full proscription of Hezbollah – not just its ‘armed wing’ – after Jewish representatives spent months calling for action.

Jewish News has spearheaded the campaign against the UK’s nonsensical stance of deeming only part of the militia unacceptable, which has until now allowed anti-Israel protesters to fly to flag of Hezbollah on Britain’s streets.

Javid is understood to have received backing for the full proscription of Hezbollah from new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the JC reported, and the announcement that the government will extend its proscription to the whole group will be made at the party conference next wee.

Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up

The news follows a concerted effort by groups such as the Zionist Federation, the Board of Deputies, Jewish Leadership Council, Community Security Trust and the Israel Britain Alliance to change government thinking on this issue.

Javid’s announcement will come as a relief to Israel’s supporters throughout the country and end the sight of Hezbollah flags being openly and legally flown at the annual Al-Quds Day Rally through central London.

In January, Labour Friends of Israel chair Joan Ryan MP led a parliamentary debate on the full proscription of Hezbollah. She noted public backing for an extension to include the group’s political wing, citing a recent ComRes poll for Jewish News, which found that 81 percent of those surveyed said they would like to see the whole group banned.

In 2001 the UK Government proscribed part of Hezbollah’s External Security Organisation, part of its armed wing. In 2008 this was extended to include the whole wing, including Hezbollah’s Jihad Council.

Since then, diplomats have argued that the group’s political wing should not be proscribed as a terrorist outfit, in part because Hezbollah now forms part of the Lebanese government, but Jewish representatives say Hezbollah chiefs themselves draw no distinction between the different parts of their organisation.

Jennifer Gerber, Labour Friends of Israel’s director, said: “Assuming the government does finally listen and proscribes Hezbollah in its entirety, this is a huge victory for LFI’s long-running campaign against this antisemitic terror group. LFI MPs have led this fight in parliament over many years, most prominently through Joan Ryan’s parliamentary debate in January. This apparent change of heart by the government is the right decision and sends a clear message that antisemites who seek Israel’s destruction are not welcome in Britain.”

Vladimir Sloutsker, President of The Israeli-Jewish Congress (IJC) commented that the “decision is long overdue, but it is just, right and proper, in the face of overwhelming evidence regarding the group’s terrorist activities, which are unmistakably led, run and funded by the regime of Iran, posing not only a direct threat to the State of Israel, but Europe and the region as a whole.”

“We hope that others in Europe follow the UK’s lead in once and for all banning this terrorist organisation in full.”

Lesson: Proscription and Its Effects

Introduction:
Proscription is a legal process where an organization or individual is banned or forbidden from operating in a particular country or region. This lesson will focus on the proscription of Hezbollah in the United Kingdom and its effects.

Section 1: Understanding Proscription

Topic: What is proscription?

Proscription is a legal process where an organization or individual is banned or forbidden from operating in a particular country or region. In the United Kingdom, the Home Secretary has the power to proscribe organizations that are considered a threat to national security or public order.

Topic: Why is Hezbollah being proscribed in the UK?

Hezbollah is being proscribed in the UK because it is considered a terrorist organization that poses a threat to national security and public order. The group has been involved in several attacks and has links to other terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Section 2: Full Proscription of Hezbollah

Topic: What does full proscription mean?

Full proscription means that the entire organization, including its military wing, is banned and forbidden from operating in the UK. This is different from the previous policy, where only the military wing of Hezbollah was proscribed, allowing the political wing to operate freely.

Topic: Why is full proscription important?

Full proscription is important because it sends a clear message that the UK does not tolerate terrorism in any form. It also prevents Hezbollah from operating openly in the UK and engaging in activities that could harm British citizens or national interests.

Section 3: Effects of Proscription

Topic: What are the effects of proscription on Hezbollah?

The effects of proscription on Hezbollah include a ban on its activities, restrictions on fundraising, and a prohibition on wearing its symbols in public. This makes it difficult for the organization to operate openly in the UK and limits its ability to recruit new members or raise funds.

Topic: What are the effects of proscription on the UK?

The effects of proscription on the UK include increased security measures to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out attacks or engaging in other illicit activities. It also sends a strong message to other terrorist organizations that the UK takes the threat of terrorism seriously and will take action to protect its citizens and national interests.

Conclusion:
Proscription is an important tool in the fight against terrorism, and the full proscription of Hezbollah in the UK is a significant step in combating the threat of terrorism. By understanding the effects of proscription, we can better appreciate the importance of this legal process in protecting our communities and national interests.

text: "Load Balance for Distributed Home Agents in Mobile IPv6", Hui Deng This document specifies a dynamic load balance mechanism among multiple home agents by taking into account acceptable number of mobile nodes for each home agent up to now, with the goal of reducing and preventing traffic bottlenecks at the home agent. This mechanism can be used when a home agent is overloaded, wants to achieve better load-balancing with peer home agents, or is going offline for service. 2004-10-21T07:00:00-00:00

textbook:
**Lesson: Load Balance for Distributed Home Agents in Mobile IPv6**

**Introduction:**
Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (Mobile IPv6) is a protocol that allows mobile devices to move seamlessly across different networks while maintaining their IP addresses. In Mobile IPv6, a mobile node (MN) registers with its home agent (HA) when it moves to a new network. The HA acts as a proxy for the MN and forwards packets to the MN's current location. However, if there are too many MNs registered with a single HA, it can cause traffic bottlenecks and reduce the performance of the network. To address this issue, this document proposes a dynamic load balancing mechanism among multiple home agents.

**Core Value:**
The core value of this document is the proposal of a dynamic load balancing mechanism that distributes the workload among multiple home agents to prevent traffic bottlenecks and improve the overall performance of the network.

**Self-Taught Lesson:**
## Section 1: Introduction to Load Balancing
In this section, we will introduce the concept of load balancing and its importance in mobile IPv6 networks.

**Theoretical Concept:**
Load balancing is the process of distributing the workload among multiple servers or home agents to ensure that no single server or home agent becomes overwhelmed with traffic. This helps to improve the overall performance of the network and prevent traffic bottlenecks.

**Practical Example:**
Imagine a mobile IPv6 network with two home agents, HA1 and HA2. Both home agents have the same capacity to handle traffic, but one of them is currently handling a large number of mobile nodes. To prevent traffic bottlenecks, the network administrator can use the dynamic load balancing mechanism proposed in this document to distribute the workload evenly between the two home agents.

## Section 2: Dynamic Load Balancing Mechanism
In this section, we will discuss the dynamic load balancing mechanism proposed in the document.

**Theoretical Concept:**
The dynamic load balancing mechanism proposed in this document uses a metric called "Acceptable Number of Mobile Nodes" (ANMN) to determine how many mobile nodes a home agent can handle without causing traffic bottlenecks. When a home agent is overloaded, it sends a message to the other home agents in the network to request help in handling the traffic. The other home agents can then decide whether to accept the request and how many mobile nodes to transfer to their own network.

**Practical Example:**
Suppose HA1 is currently handling 10 mobile nodes, which is equal to its ANMN. HA2 is not currently handling any mobile nodes. HA1 sends a request to HA2 to help handle the traffic. HA2 decides to accept the request and takes on 5 mobile nodes from HA1. Now, both home agents are handling 5 mobile nodes each, which is equal to their ANMN.

## Section 3: Implementation and Evaluation
In this section, we will discuss how to implement the dynamic load balancing mechanism and evaluate its effectiveness.

**Theoretical Concept:**
To implement the dynamic load balancing mechanism, the home agents need to exchange information about their current workload and ANMN. They also need to have a mechanism for transferring mobile nodes between networks. The effectiveness of the mechanism can be evaluated by measuring the reduction in traffic bottlenecks and the improvement in network performance.

**Practical Example:**
To evaluate the effectiveness of the dynamic load balancing mechanism, we can compare the performance of the network before and after implementing the mechanism. We can measure the number of traffic bottlenecks, the average latency of packets, and the number of dropped packets before and after implementing the mechanism. If the implementation of the mechanism results in a significant reduction in traffic bottlenecks and an improvement in network performance, we can conclude that the mechanism is effective.

## Glossary
- Acceptable Number of Mobile Nodes (ANMN): A metric used to determine how many mobile nodes a home agent can handle without causing traffic bottlenecks.
- Home Agent (HA): A router that acts as a proxy for a mobile node when it moves to a new network.
- Mobile Node (MN): A device that moves between different networks and registers with its home agent to maintain its IP address.

Complex regional pain syndrome: which treatments show promise?
Treatments for CRPS type 1 supported by evidence of efficacy and little likelihood for harm are: topical DMSO cream (B), IV bisphosphonates (A) and limited courses of oral corticosteroids (B). Despite some contradictory evidence, physical therapy and calcitonin (intranasal or intramuscular) are likely to benefit patients with CRPS type 1 (B). Due to modest benefits and the invasiveness of the therapies, epidural clonidine injection, intravenous regional sympathetic block with bretylium and spinal cord stimulation should be offered only after careful counseling (B). Therapies to avoid due to lack of efficacy, lack of evidence, or a high likelihood of adverse outcomes are IV regional sympathetic blocks with anything but bretylium, sympathetic ganglion blocks with local anesthetics, systemic IV sympathetic inhibition, acupuncture, and sympathectomy (B).

Lesson: Introduction to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Treatment

### Section 1: Overview of CRPS and its Treatment

CRPS is a chronic pain condition that affects the limbs. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and changes in the skin color and temperature. There are two types of CRPS: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 CRPS is usually caused by an injury, while type 2 CRPS is caused by a disease or condition.

Treatment for CRPS depends on the severity and duration of the condition. In general, treatment aims to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve function. This can be done through medication, physical therapy, and other interventions.

### Section 2: Evidence-based Treatments for CRPS Type 1

There are several treatments for CRPS type 1 that have been shown to be effective in clinical trials. These include:

1. Topical DMSO cream: This cream has been found to reduce pain and inflammation in people with CRPS type 1.

2. IV bisphosphonates: These drugs have been shown to help reduce bone pain in people with CRPS type 1.

3. Limited courses of oral corticosteroids: While not as effective as other treatments, corticosteroids can still be helpful in reducing inflammation and pain in some people with CRPS type 1.

4. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve muscle strength, flexibility, and range of motion in people with CRPS type 1.

5. Calcitonin (intranasal or intramuscular): This medication has been found to be effective in reducing pain in some people with CRPS type 1.

### Section 3: Other Treatments for CRPS Type 1

While there is less evidence to support their effectiveness, some other treatments for CRPS type 1 include:

1. Epidural clonidine injection: This treatment involves injecting a medication called clonidine into the epidural space around the spine. It may help reduce pain and muscle spasms in some people with CRPS type 1.

2. Intravenous regional sympathetic block with bretylium: This treatment involves injecting a medication called bretylium into the affected area. It may help reduce pain and inflammation in some people with CRPS type 1.

3. Spinal cord stimulation: This treatment involves implanting a device that sends electrical signals to the spinal cord to block pain signals. It may be helpful in some people with CRPS type 1 who have not responded to other treatments.

### Glossary

- Bisphosphonates: A class of drugs that inhibit bone resorption and are used to treat bone pain in conditions such as CRPS type 1.
- Calcitonin: A hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the body and has been found to be effective in reducing pain in some people with CRPS type 1.
- Clonidine: A medication used to treat high blood pressure and other conditions, and may help reduce pain and muscle spasms in some people with CRPS type 1.
- DMSO cream: A topical medication containing dimethyl sulfoxide, which has been found to reduce pain and inflammation in people with CRPS type 1.
- Epidural: Relating to the epidural space, a space in the spine that contains nerves and other tissues.
- Intranasal: Relating to the nasal passage.
- Intramuscular: Relating to within a muscle.
- IV: Abbreviation for intravenous, meaning into the vein.
- Sympathetic block: A procedure that involves injecting a medication into the affected area to block pain signals from the sympathetic nervous system.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, understanding the different treatments available for CRPS type 1 can help patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions about the best course of action. While some treatments have more evidence supporting their effectiveness than others, it is essential to consider individual patient needs and preferences when determining the most appropriate treatment plan. By carefully considering the risks and benefits of each treatment option, patients with CRPS type 1 can work with their healthcare providers to find the most effective and safe approach to managing their pain and other symptoms.

Serum albumin concentration in dialysis patients: why does it remain resistant to therapy?
Serum albumin, transferrin, and prealbumin levels decrease as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines, even prior to the start of dialysis. The levels of these serum proteins are also associated with creatinine levels and lean body mass. Lean body mass also decreases with advancing renal failure. While all of these measures are regarded as reflections of nutritional status, each are strongly associated with any of several indicators of inflammation: positive acute-phase proteins or the cytokines that regulate their synthesis rate, in both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies. Inflammation in turn is associated with comorbid conditions, cardiovascular disease, chronic infections, age, and vascular access type. Additionally, dialysis patients are subjected to oxidative stress and exposure of blood to foreign antigens in the dialysis process that also potentially contribute to inflammation. In otherwise healthy individuals reduced protein and calorie intake does not cause hypoalbuminemia since albumin fractional catabolic rate (FCR) and resting energy expenditure (REE) normally decrease in response. The simultaneous occurrence of decreased protein intake and inflammation prevent these homeostatic compensations to reduced nitrogen and energy intake from occurring, resulting in decreasing albumin, transferrin, and prealbumin levels and loss of muscle mass. Nutritional intake may also be challenged as a result of renal failure associated with anorexia, gastroparesis, and socioeconomic factors, which may all cause nutritional intake to be sufficiently marginal so that the combined effects of inflammation and decrease protein intake are expressed as decreased visceral and somatic protein stores.

**Lesson Title:** Understanding Serum Albumin Concentration in Dialysis Patients

**Lesson Overview:** In this lesson, we will explore the reasons why serum albumin concentration in dialysis patients remains resistant to therapy. We will examine the relationship between serum albumin levels, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), lean body mass, and inflammation. We will also discuss the impact of dialysis on serum albumin concentration and the potential contributing factors.

**Lesson Outline:**

1. Introduction to Serum Albumin
- Definition of serum albumin
- Importance of serum albumin in the body
- Relevance to dialysis patients

2. Relationship between Serum Albumin, GFR, and Lean Body Mass
- Decrease in serum albumin levels with declining GFR
- Association between serum albumin levels and lean body mass
- Impact of inflammation on serum albumin levels

3. Influence of Dialysis on Serum Albumin Concentration
- Effect of dialysis on serum albumin concentration
- Potential contributing factors to resistant serum albumin levels in dialysis patients
- Oxidative stress and exposure to foreign antigens during dialysis

4. Discussion and Critical Thinking
- Implications of resistant serum albumin levels in dialysis patients
- Potential interventions to improve serum albumin concentration
- Importance of further research in this area

5. Glossary
- Serum albumin: a protein found in blood plasma that carries hormones, vitamins, and other substances throughout the body
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR): the rate at which the kidneys filter blood
- Lean body mass: the weight of a person without the weight of body fat
- Inflammation: the body's response to injury or infection, characterized by redness, heat, swelling, and pain
- Cytokines: small proteins that act as messengers between cells

**Conclusion:** Understanding the factors that contribute to resistant serum albumin levels in dialysis patients is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Further research is needed to identify potential interventions that can improve serum albumin concentration and overall health in dialysis patients. By applying the knowledge gained from this lesson, we can better understand the complex relationship between serum albumin concentration, GFR, lean body mass, and inflammation in dialysis patients and work towards developing effective strategies to address this issue.

Si vous me suivez sur ma page facebook, vous avez certainement remarqué que je partageais régulièrement des évènements de type stages de self-défense. C'est que je suis de plus en plus convaincue que si des hommes agressent physiquement des femmes c'est parce qu'ils pensent, et le plus souvent à raison, qu'elles ne sauront pas se défendre correctement et même qu'elles n'essaieront pas.

Et si les femmes ne se défendent pas c'est

1/ parce qu'elles ne savent pas comment faire,

2/ parce qu'elles craignent que cela soit encore pire, en quoi elles n'ont pas tort. On l'a vue récemment avec cette vidéo d'un homme qui frappe une femme en plein Paris, devant témoins, parce qu'elle s'est permise de répondre à ses propos injurieux.

La supériorité physique masculine est considérée comme incontestable.

Or, si les hommes sont généralement plus grands, plus lourds et plus musclés que les femmes ce n'est pas toujours le cas. Et surtout cela n'est pas suffisant pour qu'ils l'emportent systématiquement, d'autant plus que les femmes ont davantage de résistance notamment en situations extrêmes. Et l'histoire est pleine de combattants à priori plus faibles qui ont fini par l'emporter par l'intelligence, la ruse ou leur détermination.

En fait, si les hommes se sentent tellement sûres d'eux pour attaquer une femme c'est qu'ils ont la certitude que non seulement ils sont plus forts, mais qu'elle n'opposera qu'une faible résistance, voire pas de résistance du tout. Car eux se sont entrainés à la bagarre depuis toujours, eux ont appris que s'affirmer, gagner, faisait partie de leur identité. Non seulement les filles n'apprennent pas à se battre, car ce n'est pas très féminin, mais elles apprennent que, quoi qu'elles fassent elles n'y arriveront pas, et qu'il est préférable de renoncer avant que cela ne tourne mal.

Beaucoup de jeux, notamment adolescents reposent sur des confrontations physiques au cours desquels les garçons se mettent à plusieurs pour, par exemple, mettre une fille à l'eau. C'est drôle, ça permet de se toucher, mais une fille qui résisterait vraiment serait vite cataloguée comme une pimbêche avec laquelle il n'est pas drôle de jouer. Les filles apprennent ainsi qu'il est préférable, voire inutile de se rebeller. L'inverse peut se produire, mais si le garçon réussit à résister et ne pas aller à l'eau ce sera plutôt à son honneur.

Alors certes le mieux serait que les hommes n'agressent pas les femmes, mais si on peut y travailler, il me parait prudent de se protéger et de leur montrer que nous ne sommes pas un sexe faible comme la société s'emploie à le croire.

L'importance de s'entrainer

Bref ! je suis désormais certaine, et ça n'a pas toujours été le cas, que les filles et les femmes doivent apprendre à se battre. Il n'est pas question de se lancer à corps perdu dans un combat dangereux en cas d'agression mais déja d'avoir une attitude qui pourra surprendre l'agresseur qui ne s'y attend pas et l'inciter à chercher une proie plus facile. Il s'agit pour cela d'acquérir quelques réflexes utiles.

J'ai essayé pas mal de choses et personnellement ce que je trouve de plus efficace est le Krav-Maga. Malheureusement il n'y a pas de cours là où j'habite, mais j'ai fait 2 stages et je compte bien continuer. Je me suis aussi mise au Karaté, qui est un sport très différent et beaucoup moins opérationnel mais dont la pratique repose également sur la répétition sans fin des mêmes mouvements jusqu'à ce qu'ils deviennent des réflexes. C'est long !

J'aime beaucoup l'état d'esprit de ces sports. Chacun fait à son niveau et les plus aguerris, loin d'étaler leur supériorité, prennent soin des débutants en se mettant à leur portée.

Pas besoin d'être une grande sportive puisque, par définition, la self défense concerne tout le monde. Dans un stage de Krav maga d'environ 60 participants comme celui que j'ai fait il y a des gens de tous les âges et un peu plus d'hommes mais on n'est pas loin de la parité.

Krav Maga Women protect associaton

J'y ai aussi rencontré des personnes qui ont créée une association Krav-Maga Women protect Charity Association dont le but est de développer les pratiques de self défense auprès des jeunes filles en Inde, pays où les agressions sexuelles sont très fréquentes. L'association enseigne les techniques à des femmes des RED BRIGADES, qui transmettent ensuite ce savoir aux jeunes filles.

Ils voudraient également développer cet enseignement auprès des fillettes en France.

Lesson: Self-Defense for Women

Introduction:
Self-defense is an essential skill for women to protect themselves from physical assaults. This lesson will teach you how to defend yourself against an attacker using various techniques and strategies.

Section 1: Understanding the Attacker's Mindset

1.1 What do attackers think when they target women?
Attackers often believe that women are easy targets who won't fight back or resist effectively. They may also assume that women are not as strong as men and can be overpowered easily.

1.2 Why do some women become victims?
Women may become victims because they lack the necessary skills to defend themselves or because they freeze up during an attack. Some women may also feel embarrassed or ashamed to fight back, which can lead to further victimization.

Section 2: Basic Self-Defense Techniques

2.1 What are some basic self-defense techniques?
Some basic self-defense techniques include striking, grappling, and escaping from holds. These techniques can be used to neutralize an attacker and create an opportunity to escape.

2.2 How do I strike an attacker effectively?
To strike an attacker effectively, you should aim for vulnerable areas such as the eyes, nose, throat, and groin. Use your fists, elbows, knees, or feet to deliver powerful strikes that can incapacitate the attacker.

Section 3: Strategies for Defending Yourself

3.1 What are some effective strategies for defending myself?
Some effective strategies for defending yourself include verbal de-escalation, creating space between you and the attacker, and using your environment to your advantage. You should also practice situational awareness and avoid putting yourself in dangerous situations.

3.2 How can I use my environment to my advantage?
You can use your environment to your advantage by finding objects that can be used as weapons (e.g., chairs, books) or by using your surroundings to create distance between you and the attacker (e.g., running into a crowded area).

Section 4: Real-World Scenarios

4.1 What should I do if I am grabbed from behind?
If you are grabbed from behind, you should turn around and use your elbow to strike the attacker's face or neck. You can also try to gouge their eyes or reach for a nearby weapon.

4.2 What should I do if an attacker tries to choke me?
If an attacker tries to choke you, you should use your hands to push their arms away and create space between you. You can also try to gouge their eyes, bite their hand, or use your legs to sweep them off their feet.

Conclusion:
Self-defense is a critical skill for women to protect themselves from physical assaults. By understanding the attacker's mindset and learning basic self-defense techniques and strategies, you can increase your chances of surviving an attack. Remember to practice situational awareness and avoid putting yourself in dangerous situations.

Lesson: The Importance of Labor Duration

Introduction:
Labor is the process of giving birth to a baby. The duration of labor varies among women and can affect the health of both the mother and the baby. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of labor duration and how it can impact the birthing experience.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

1. What is labor?
Labor is the process of giving birth to a baby. It involves contractions of the uterus and cervix that help to push the baby out of the womb.

2. Why is labor duration important?
Labor duration is important because it can affect the health of both the mother and the baby. A longer labor can lead to exhaustion and dehydration in the mother, while a shorter labor may not allow enough time for the baby's lungs to mature properly.

3. What factors can affect labor duration?
Several factors can affect labor duration, including the mother's age, weight, and overall health. Other factors include the position of the baby and the mother's emotional state during labor.

Section 2: Practical Examples

1. How can a woman prepare for a shorter labor duration?
A woman can prepare for a shorter labor duration by staying active during her pregnancy, eating a healthy diet, and practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation.

2. How can a woman cope with a longer labor duration?
If a woman is experiencing a longer labor duration, she can cope by staying hydrated, using relaxation techniques, and seeking support from her partner or other loved ones.

3. Can a woman's emotional state affect her labor duration?
Yes, a woman's emotional state can affect her labor duration. If a woman is anxious or stressed, it can cause her contractions to slow down or stop altogether.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

1. Should a woman try to speed up her labor if it is taking longer than expected?
It is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before attempting to speed up labor. However, some women may choose to try natural methods such as walking or nipple stimulation to encourage contractions.

2. Can a woman's previous labor experiences affect her current labor duration?
Yes, a woman's previous labor experiences can affect her current labor duration. If a woman has had a fast labor before, she may be more likely to have a fast labor again. However, each labor experience is unique and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, labor duration is an important factor to consider during the birthing experience. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical examples surrounding labor duration, women can better prepare for their own birthing experiences. By engaging in self-debating discussions, women can make informed decisions about their care and the care of their babies.
