text: My Box of Memories. The other day I was going through my jewelry box trying to pick out a pair of earrings and a necklace to wear. It occurred to me that much of my jewelry holds small memories of my life. It’s mostly costume jewelry but I do have a few pieces of gold jewelry. There’s the tiny gold cat pendant and necklace with a single diamond that my parents gave me for high school graduation. There’s another gold cat pendant and necklace that my brother and sister-in-love gave me for Christmas many years ago. Oh, and then there is the gold heart pendant with scatter diamonds that Norm gave me for my birthday when we were courting. He surprised me our first Christmas together as a married couple with matching earrings to go with that necklace. Yes, it’s really a box of memories not just jewelry.

Boneham Optometrist has fit these lenses for many years but have found in some cases, the lenses available could not be optimised for the patient due to complex shapes and also differences in the sclera, which is the white of the eye where the lens rests.. In late 2019 we received our sMap Pro which allows us to customise lenses to suit the exact profile of the sclera and cornea. This has been a game-changer and has allowed for a safer and more comfortable experience for some of our scleral lens patients.. If you are wondering whether your eyes would be suitable for this lens or are having trouble with your lenses or keratoconus see us at Boneham Optometrist..

Lesson: Customizing Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about customizing scleral lenses for people with keratoconus. We will cover the following topics:
- What is keratoconus?
- Why do people with keratoconus need customized scleral lenses?
- How are scleral lenses customized?
- What are the benefits of customized scleral lenses?
What is keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes thin and irregularly shaped. This can cause blurred vision, light sensitivity, and other vision problems.
Why do people with keratoconus need customized scleral lenses?
Many people with advanced keratoconus require the use of large rigid lenses to vault over the irregular cornea and provide clear vision. However, the lenses available may not be optimized for the patient due to complex shapes and differences in the sclera. Customizing scleral lenses allows for a better fit and more comfortable experience for some patients with keratoconus.
How are scleral lenses customized?
Scleral lenses are customized using a technique called corneal topography. This involves creating a map of the cornea's surface using specialized equipment. The map is then used to create a lens that fits perfectly over the cornea, providing clear vision.
What are the benefits of customized scleral lenses?
There are several benefits to customizing scleral lenses for people with keratoconus:
- Improved vision: Customized scleral lenses provide a better fit, which can lead to clearer vision.
- Comfort: Customized lenses are more comfortable to wear than traditional lenses, as they are designed to fit the individual's unique eye shape.
- Durability: Scleral lenses are made of a durable material that can last for several years, making them a cost-effective solution for people with keratoconus.
Conclusion:
Customizing scleral lenses for people with keratoconus can provide improved vision, comfort, and durability. If you are wondering whether your eyes would be suitable for this lens or are having trouble with your lenses or keratoconus, see us at Boneham Optometrist.

Coordination, choice, and value in long-term care.
Systemic problems in the nation's long-term care system result in high-cost, low-quality care in most states. Consumers must exhaust their savings to become eligible for long-term care coverage through Medicaid, get lost in a maze of fragmented systems funded by different sources, and often are institutionalized unnecessarily. Several states have developed new models to provide long-term care that is better coordinated and includes more social supports. As these examples show, it pays to invest in home and community-based care systems and to help those systems connect to medically based networks.

text: I recently reviewed a letter from Deborah Sloman, whose mother was involved in purchasing a home in Salisbury that apparently had a problem with its septic system.. After her mother purchased the home, it became apparent that the septic system was not working properly and the entire system would have to be replaced, costing more than $7,000. The sellers made an offer to pay for half of the cost of installing the new system, but the offer was refused. Now mother and daughter want to know what they can do to be fully reimbursed.. My advice to the two of you is that you first understand that the sellers gave you a signed property disclosure statement, stating that the septic system was functioning properly. If you can prove that the sellers actually knew the septic system was defective on the date they signed this statement, you may have a winning claim, based on the sellers' misrepresentation.

Lesson: Real Estate Transactions and Disputes

Introduction:
Real estate transactions can be complex and sometimes lead to disputes between buyers and sellers. In this lesson, we will learn about common issues that arise in real estate transactions, how to resolve them, and how to avoid them in the future.

Section 1: Common Issues in Real Estate Transactions

Topic 1: Misrepresentation
Misrepresentation occurs when one party in a real estate transaction makes a false statement about the property that leads to a loss for the other party. For example, if the seller fails to disclose a major defect in the property, such as a faulty septic system, the buyer may have a claim against the seller for misrepresentation.

Topic 2: Title Disputes
Title disputes occur when there is a disagreement over who owns a piece of property. This can happen if there is a mistake in the title search or if someone claims to have an interest in the property that is not reflected in the title.

Topic 3: Surveys and Boundaries
Survey and boundary disputes can arise when there is a disagreement over where the property line is located. This can lead to arguments over who owns a certain piece of land or who is responsible for maintaining it.

Section 2: Resolving Disputes

Topic 1: Litigation
If a dispute arises in a real estate transaction, the parties may choose to litigate the issue in court. This involves hiring a lawyer and going through the legal process to resolve the issue.

Topic 2: Mediation
Mediation is another option for resolving disputes in real estate transactions. In mediation, a neutral third party helps the parties come to a resolution without going to court.

Topic 3: Arbitration
Arbitration is similar to mediation, but the arbitrator makes a decision instead of helping the parties come to a resolution. This decision is usually binding on both parties.

Section 3: Preventing Disputes

Topic 1: Due Diligence
Due diligence is the process of thoroughly investigating a property before buying it. This includes conducting a title search, having a professional inspect the property, and reviewing all relevant documents.

Topic 2: Clear Contracts
A clear contract that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties can help prevent disputes in a real estate transaction. It should include details such as the purchase price, closing costs, and any contingencies.

Topic 3: Professional Advice
Hiring a professional, such as a real estate agent or attorney, can help prevent disputes by ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that both parties' interests are protected.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding the common issues that arise in real estate transactions and how to prevent and resolve them is essential for anyone involved in a real estate transaction. By following the tips provided in this lesson, you can avoid disputes and ensure a smooth transaction.

text: There are two different types of troublesome veins that are commonly by treated physicians – varicose veins and “spider veins”.. Varicose veins are swollen, tortuous appearing large veins that sit just below the skin’s surface, typically in the legs. They occur when the valves in the leg veins become less effective which then causes a pooling of blood in these areas. Often times varicose veins occur from obesity, pregnancy, menopause, and can often be inherited. These are more likely to be treated by a vascular surgeon or other physician specializing in ablative procedures.. At Natural Image Skin Center, our Doctors are very experienced in treating unwanted red and blue smaller leg veins, or “spider veins”. These are typically removed with a procedure called sclerotherapy. These dilated skin veins and capillaries are injected with a solution that helps the vein to fade. Fine capillaries and the smallest spider veins are also treated effectively with laser.

textbook:
Lesson: Understanding Veins and Their Treatments

Introduction:
Veins are an essential part of our body's circulatory system. They carry blood from different parts of the body back to the heart. However, some people suffer from vein problems such as varicose veins and spider veins, which can be unsightly and uncomfortable. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of veins, their causes, and the available treatments.

Section 1: Types of Veins
There are three main types of veins: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, while veins bring oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients between the blood and the body's cells.

Varicose veins and spider veins are two common types of vein problems. Varicose veins are large, swollen veins that usually appear in the legs. They occur when the valves in the leg veins become less effective, causing blood to pool in these areas. Spider veins are smaller, red and blue veins that appear on the skin's surface. They are caused by dilated skin veins and capillaries.

Section 2: Causes of Vein Problems
There are several factors that can contribute to vein problems. These include obesity, pregnancy, menopause, and genetics. Obesity puts extra pressure on the veins, making it harder for them to function properly. Pregnancy can also cause vein problems by increasing the pressure in the pelvic area, which can lead to blood clots and varicose veins. Menopause can cause the walls of the veins to weaken, leading to spider veins. Finally, some people inherit weak veins from their parents.

Section 3: Treatment Options
There are several treatment options available for vein problems. These include:

1. Sclerotherapy: This is a procedure used to treat spider veins. A solution is injected into the vein, causing it to scar and fade away.

2. Laser treatment: This treatment uses a laser to target and destroy the small veins and capillaries that cause spider veins.

3. Compression stockings: These tight-fitting stockings can help improve blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of varicose veins.

4. Lifestyle changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding long periods of sitting or standing can help prevent vein problems.

5. Medical procedures: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove varicose veins.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding veins and their treatments is essential for anyone who wants to maintain good health. By learning about the different types of veins, their causes, and available treatments, you can take steps to prevent or treat vein problems. Remember to consult with a medical professional if you suspect you have vein problems.

A case of hepatocellular adenomatosis with a follow-up of 11 years.
Hepatocellular adenomatosis is characterized by the presence of numerous (arbitrarily > 10) adenomas within an otherwise normal liver without a history of glycogen storage disease or steroid hormone therapy. Although the disease is rare, its importance lies in its tendency to produce symptoms such as abdominal pain and its potential for abdominal hemorrhages. However, the prognosis of hepatocellular adenomatosis remains uncertain. Here we describe the case of a 40-yr-old female with hepatocellular adenomatosis without evidence of serious complications, who was observed over a period of 11 yr.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Hepatocellular Adenomatosis

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Hepatocellular adenomatosis is a rare liver disease characterized by the presence of multiple adenomas in the liver. These adenomas are benign tumors that can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and bleeding. The disease is often associated with other medical conditions such as glycogen storage disease or steroid hormone therapy, but it can also occur spontaneously.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
One example of hepatocellular adenomatosis is a 40-year-old female who was diagnosed with the disease after a routine physical examination. She had no history of glycogen storage disease or steroid hormone therapy, but she did have a family history of liver disease. Over the course of 11 years, she was monitored closely by her physicians and had regular blood tests and imaging studies to track the progress of her disease. Despite the presence of multiple adenomas in her liver, she did not experience any serious complications and remained asymptomatic throughout her follow-up period.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Another example of hepatocellular adenomatosis is a 50-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and was found to have multiple adenomas in his liver. He had a history of glycogen storage disease and had been treated with steroid hormone therapy for many years. His physicians were concerned that his disease might be more severe than the typical case of hepatocellular adenomatosis, but after several months of monitoring, he remained stable and showed no signs of serious complications.

## Glossary
- Adenoma: A benign tumor that arises from epithelial tissue.
- Glycogen storage disease: A group of genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to store and use glycogen, a form of stored glucose.
- Steroid hormone therapy: A type of medical treatment that uses synthetic hormones to suppress the activity of certain hormones in the body.

## Conclusion
Hepatocellular adenomatosis is a rare liver disease that can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and bleeding. While the prognosis of the disease remains uncertain, cases like the one described here demonstrate that some individuals with hepatocellular adenomatosis may remain stable and asymptomatic over long periods of time. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and real-world scenarios related to hepatocellular adenomatosis, individuals can better understand the potential risks and benefits associated with this disease and make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Thiamine attenuates hypoxia-induced cell death in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.
Previous studies have demonstrated that thiamine (vitamin B1) has a cytoprotective effect against ischemic damage to the heart, and that heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is capable of protecting cardiac cells from lethal ischemia/hypoxia. We show here that thiamine has a cytoprotective effect on cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes under hypoxic insult, and also protects the cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced apoptosis; caspase-3 activation, PARP cleavage and DNA fragmentation are all inhibited. Moreover, it increases the level of Hsp70 protein in the cardiomyocytes even under prolonged hypoxic stress and its effects on hypoxia-induced cardiac cell death are antagonized by an Hsp70 inhibitor. These results suggest that the cytoprotective effect of thiamine in cardiomyocytes under hypoxic stress is due to its ability to induce Hsp70.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Use Thiamine to Protect Cells from Hypoxia-Induced Cell Death

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about how thiamine can protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death. We will cover the following topics:

1. What is hypoxia?
2. What is thiamine and what is its role in protecting cells from hypoxia-induced cell death?
3. How does thiamine protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death?
4. What are the benefits of using thiamine to protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death?

Section 1: What is hypoxia?
Hypoxia refers to a condition where the body is not getting enough oxygen. This can happen due to various reasons such as lung diseases, heart diseases, or high altitude. Hypoxia can cause damage to cells and tissues, leading to cell death.

Section 2: What is thiamine and what is its role in protecting cells from hypoxia-induced cell death?
Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is a vitamin that plays an essential role in cellular metabolism. It has been shown to have a cytoprotective effect against ischemic damage to the heart. Thiamine helps protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death by increasing the level of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in the cardiomyocytes.

Section 3: How does thiamine protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death?
Thiamine protects cells from hypoxia-induced cell death by inducing the production of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). Hsp70 is a molecular chaperone that helps protect cells from damage caused by hypoxia. It does this by stabilizing proteins and preventing their aggregation. Thiamine also inhibits caspase-3 activation, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation, which are all markers of apoptosis (cell death).

Section 4: What are the benefits of using thiamine to protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death?
The benefits of using thiamine to protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death include:

1. Thiamine has been shown to have a cytoprotective effect on cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes under hypoxic stress.
2. Thiamine protects the cardiomyocytes against hypoxia-induced apoptosis, which means it prevents cell death.
3. Thiamine increases the level of Hsp70 protein in the cardiomyocytes even under prolonged hypoxic stress, which helps protect the cells from damage.
4. The effects of thiamine on hypoxia-induced cardiac cell death are antagonized by an Hsp70 inhibitor, which means that thiamine is effective in protecting cells from hypoxia-induced cell death.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about how thiamine can protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death. We covered what hypoxia is, what thiamine is and its role in protecting cells from hypoxia-induced cell death, how thiamine protects cells from hypoxia-induced cell death, and the benefits of using thiamine to protect cells from hypoxia-induced cell death. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the importance of thiamine in protecting cells from damage caused by hypoxia.

Lesson: Understanding Monetary Policy and Its Impact on the Economy

Introduction:
Monetary policy refers to the actions taken by central banks to control the money supply and interest rates to achieve specific economic objectives. This lesson will explain the basics of monetary policy, its impact on the economy, and how it can be used to address economic challenges.

Section 1: What is Monetary Policy?

Monetary policy involves managing the money supply and interest rates to influence economic activity. Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States, implement monetary policy to achieve specific goals, such as price stability, full employment, and economic growth.

Section 2: How does Monetary Policy work?

Central banks use several tools to implement monetary policy. These include:

1. Open market operations: Buying and selling government securities to increase or decrease the money supply.
2. Changes in the discount rate: Adjusting the interest rate that banks pay to borrow money from the central bank.
3. Reserve requirements: Setting the minimum amount of funds that banks must hold in reserve.

By adjusting these tools, central banks can influence interest rates, which affect borrowing and lending decisions, ultimately impacting economic activity.

Section 3: The Impact of Monetary Policy

Monetary policy can have both direct and indirect effects on the economy. Direct effects include changes in interest rates and the money supply. Indirect effects occur when changes in interest rates and the money supply influence consumer and business behavior.

Section 4: Using Monetary Policy to Address Economic Challenges

Central banks use monetary policy to address various economic challenges. For example, during a recession, central banks may lower interest rates to encourage borrowing and spending, stimulating economic growth. Conversely, during periods of high inflation, central banks may raise interest rates to slow down borrowing and spending, reducing inflation.

Conclusion:

Understanding monetary policy and its impact on the economy is crucial for anyone interested in finance, economics, or public policy. By mastering the basics of monetary policy, you can better understand how central banks manage the economy and make informed decisions about investments and personal finances.

Section 1: Introduction to Animal Tracking

Topic 1: What is Animal Tracking?
Animal tracking is the process of monitoring and recording the movement of animals in their natural habitat. This can be done using various methods such as GPS, satellite tracking, and radio collars. The data collected from these methods can help scientists study animal behavior, migration patterns, and habitat use.

Topic 2: Why is Animal Tracking Important?
Animal tracking is important because it helps us understand the behavior and movements of animals in their natural habitat. This information can be used to protect endangered species, manage wildlife populations, and conserve habitats. It can also help us understand how climate change and human activities affect animal populations.

Section 2: Methods of Animal Tracking

Topic 1: GPS Tracking
GPS tracking involves attaching a device to an animal that records its location at regular intervals. This data can be used to create maps of the animal's movement and behavior over time. GPS tracking is useful for studying large mammals such as elephants, lions, and bears.

Topic 2: Satellite Tracking
Satellite tracking involves attaching a device to an animal that sends data to satellites in orbit around the Earth. This data can be used to track the animal's movement in real-time and study its behavior over long distances. Satellite tracking is useful for studying migratory birds, whales, and other animals that travel long distances.

Topic 3: Radio Collars
Radio collars involve attaching a collar to an animal that emits a signal that can be detected by receivers on the ground. This data can be used to track the animal's movement and behavior over time. Radio collars are useful for studying smaller mammals such as foxes, raccoons, and coyotes.

Section 3: Examples of Animal Tracking

Topic 1: Warblers and Sonic Vibrations
Scientists have discovered that warblers can detect incoming storms using sonic vibrations. By listening to the sounds of their feathers, they can sense changes in air pressure and temperature, which helps them avoid dangerous weather conditions.

Topic 2: Baboons and Decision Making
Baboons are known for their complex social structures and decision-making abilities. Scientists have used animal tracking technology to study how baboons make decisions based on their social relationships and environment.

Topic 3: Storks and Garbage Dumps
Storks have been known to frequent garbage dumps, where they feed on rotting food waste. Scientists have used animal tracking technology to study why storks prefer garbage dumps to wild forage and how this behavior affects their overall health and well-being.
