This study is designed to assess the safety and toxicity/adverse events associated with the use of low dose fractionated whole brain irradiation in those patients who have been diagnosed with probable Alzheimer’s disease according to the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) criteria. As a secondary goal it will establish whether or not the intervention with low dose whole brain irradiation might change the recognized progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. The investigators will also collect information from the AMYVID ® (florbetaben F 18 Injection) positron emission tomography (PET) Scans to determine if there is any correlation between neurocognitive/quality of life scores and changes in amyloid plaque size, number and location.

Evaluation of Intra-Abdominal Fat Extraction Using HydraSolve T2D™ in Obese Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes – Full Text View – ClinicalTrials.gov – (Me: Potential huge diabetes type 2 breakthrough!)
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of the investigational use of the HydraSolve T2D™ System in improving blood glucose control and insulin resistance in patients with obesity (Class 1, BMI 30-39.9 kg/m2) and type 2 diabetes who have not achieved targeted levels of blood glucose control using oral diabetes medications. The previously FDA-cleared (for liposuction and fat transfer) HydraSolve T2D™ System will be used to perform a novel, minimally invasive laparoscopic and mini-laparotomy procedure to selectively remove excess intra-abdominal fat from the mesentery (Mesenteric Visceral Lipectomy (MVL)), while not affecting surrounding tissues. The study will include several weeks of screening for eligibility before the intervention, and 12-months of follow-up post-surgery.

It is hard to arrive at the exact number of Allied trials held in Asia, as there continues to be access restrictions to some national trial records. Some latest estimates of the number of war crimes trials held by different national authorities in Asia are as follows: China (605 trials), the US (456 trials), the Netherlands (448 trials), Britain (330 trials), Australia (294 trials), the Philippines (72 trials), and France (39 trials). In 1956, China prosecuted another four cases involving 1062 defendants, out of which 45 were sentenced and the rest acquitted. The Allies conducted these trials before military courts pursuant to national laws of the Allied Power concerned. Altogether 2244 war crimes prosecutions were conducted in Asia. 5700 defendants were prosecuted: 984 defendants were executed; 3419 sentenced to imprisonment; and 1018 acquitted.

Painfully Shy
Experts believe 77% of the human population has some level of stage fright. Yesterday, I was chatting with a new reader of our blog, my new friend Eddie(changed name). He shared the problem of his stage fright. As promised, this article is dedicated to the ghost inside our brains and the butterflies inside our stomach.
I went back to my psychology notes to figure out the truth. Fear of performing in public is often driven by the fear of embarrassment. We worry about being perceived or judged by others. Extreme fear of public speaking is called Glossophobia.
The other day, I was playing with my four-year-old cousin. Her mischievous and funny acts entertain me a lot. I am never bored of playing with children. The children don’t worry about being judged. Despite having no intention, they hook the attention of the audience with their mischiefs. Children teach us great lessons…

Sidewalk Stories
Amazing photos from around the world of our sidewalks of life.
We named her Wilma
Sher and I were thrilled a couple of days ago when we saw for just a second a stunning Pileated Woodpecker who came in and landed on our tree. Almost immediately it took off. Yesterday, however, another (maybe the same?) Pileated female came in and ended up feeding from one of the suet cages.
Notice the little Nuthatch that photobombed the video? The size of Wilma seems to have spooked it from the suet cage.
Be Mindful

We constantly sow seeds through our actions, our thoughts and our words. Let’s practice mindfulness at all times, because we reap the fruits of the seeds we sow.

Nothing Goes In Vain
In this fleeting life with endless quests
For fame and powers and gains,
Oh, I trust, I trust with buoyant breast
That nothing does go in vain.
Oh, the esteemed pen that lose its words
And efforts that end with pain,
Or the plaintive prayers that stay unheard
Oh, nothing does go in vain.
For the tranquil whiles and pleasant hours
That today remain unsung,
Shall tomorrow turn in silken flowers
And make me bold and young.
And the constant falls and dismal songs
That cease the blooming light,
Shall shatter and beat all future wrongs
And take my name in height.
And every hope and every try
That ends today in tears,
Shall tomorrow break the chains and fly
And change the odious Sphere.
And no dream stays a dream, I trust
If heart has power to reign,
And no wish sleeps and merges with dust
For nothing does…

Glaciers That Don’t Melt – Perito Moreno – Seniors Around The World
Despite climate change and global warming, they still exist, the glaciers that are not melting but, on the contrary, are still growing. One of these few glaciers is the Perito Moreno Glacier, which is one of the mightiest glaciers in Campo de Hielo Sur, the largest glacier area in the South American Andes. It is located in Patagonia in the south of the American continent and is one of the most spectacular natural sights. Beyond the poles, it forms the largest inland glacier and for that reason alone is a superlative event.
