New Venetian Blind Created

RADIANCE is description of a set of new venetian window treatments. The depth of the window coverings (X dimension) is given first, followed by the width (Y dimension), followed by the height (Z dimension). The number of slats to place evenly within this height is given as nslats. The angle of the blind, where zero is perfectly horizontal and a positive angle tilts the positive X edge upwards, is given in degrees. The window treatments are initially situated so that the corner of the bottom blind isheight/nslats/2 above the XY plane, and all coordinates are positive.Each new slat is placed height/nslats above the previous one, until the top slat is at height - height/nslats/2 . The window coverings may of course be moved from this starting point with the xform(1) command.

Meth = DEATH!

Sooner or later, “methamphetamine means death:” The death that comes from violence or critical illness, the death of future promise for too many young people, and the death of hope for their families. Methamphetamine carries a prognosis that is worse than many cancers. Sometimes, if things go well, I can give them back their lives, but who is going to give them back their futures? I am at the end of the pipeline, and I struggle to prevent those final effects.

We have to remember those human faces behind the statistics. When we work to put together a comprehensive strategy that is measured by the number of arrests, interdictions or labs seized, we should also measure the number of lives saved and the number of people whose futures are restored. It is important to remember this number as we carry on the fight.

DR. RAWSON: Performing medications research, I am aware it is important to develop tools. For those people who are currently addicted to methamphetamine and cocaine, the medications are not yet available, and nothing is on the immediate horizon. We need to look at the resources and knowledge we currently have available and do a better job applying it to the patients who are currently seeking alcohol detox malibu.

In the last five years, the Center for Substance Abuse alcohol drug rehab malibu (CSAT) has developed a whole series of resources called alcohol drug treatment malibu Improvement Protocols (TIPS). These are superb documents that make alcohol rehab information available for clinicians to use in their practices.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with disparity in wheelchair customizability among people with traumatic spinal cord injury

OBJECTIVES: To determine if a standard of care for wheelchair provision exists within the participating centers and if there is disparity in wheelchair customizability among the study sample. DESIGN: Convenience sample survey. SETTING: Thirteen Model Spinal Cord Injury Systems that provide comprehensive rehabilitation for people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and that are part of the national database funded through the US Department of Education. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 412 people with SCI who use wheelchairs over 40 hours a week. INTERVENTION: Survey information was obtained from subjects via telephone and in-person interviews and from the national database. Collected information included age, race, education, level of injury, and wheelchair funding source. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Number and type (manual or power) of wheelchairs. Wheelchair customizability as defined by design features (eg, adjustable axle position, programmable controls). RESULTS: Ninety-seven percent of manual wheelchair users and 54% of power wheelchairs users had customizable wheelchairs. No power wheelchair user received a wheelchair without programmable controls. Minorities with low socioeconomic backgrounds (low income, Medicaid/Medicare recipients, less educated) were more likely to have standard manual and standard programmable power wheelchairs. Older subjects were also more likely to have standard programmable power wheelchairs and handicap scooters. CONCLUSIONS: The standard of care for manual wheelchair users with SCI is a lightweight and customizable wheelchair. The standard of care for power wheelchairs users has programmable controls. Unfortunately, socioeconomically disadvantaged people were less likely to receive customizable wheelchairs.

Impact of a pushrim-activated power-assisted wheelchair on the metabolic demands, stroke frequency, and range of motion among subjects with tetraplegia

OBJECTIVES: To determine differences in metabolic demands, stroke frequency, and upper-extremity joint range of motion (ROM) during pushrim-activated medicare power wheelchairs and medical scooters propulsion and traditional manual wheelchair propulsion among subjects with tetraplegia. DESIGN: Repeated measures. SETTING: A biomechanics laboratory within a Veterans Affairs medical center. PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen full-time manual wheelchair users who had sustained cervical-level spinal cord injuries. INTERVENTIONS: Participants propelled both their own manual wheelchairs and a PAPAW through 3 different resistances (slight, 10W; moderate, 12W; high, 14W) on a wheelchair dynamometer. Each propulsion trial was 3 minutes long. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary variables that were compared between the 2 wheelchairs were participants mean steady-state oxygen consumption, ventilation, heart rate, mean stroke frequency, and maximum upper-extremity joint ROM. RESULTS: When using the PAPAW, participants showed a significant ( P <.05) decrease in mean oxygen consumption and ventilation throughout all trials. Mean heart rate was significantly lower when using the PAPAW for the high resistance trial. Stroke frequency was significantly lower when using the PAPAW for the slight and moderate resistances. Overall joint ROM was significantly lower when using the PAPAW. CONCLUSIONS: For subjects with tetraplegia, PAPAWs reduce the energy demands, stroke frequency, and overall joint ROM when compared with traditional manual wheelchair propulsion.

Comparison between performance with a pushrim-activated power-assisted wheelchair and a manual wheelchair on the Wheelchair Skills Test

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that people using a pushrim-activated power wheelchairs (PAPAW) can accomplish a wider range of wheelchair skills than when using a manual wheelchair (MWC). METHODS: We studied 30 able-bodied participants, using within-participant comparisons. Participants used a manual wheelchair equipped with both PAPAW and regular MWC rear wheels, and rear anti-tip devices (Arc-RADs) that permitted wheelie-like function. We trained participants to perform the wheelchair skills of the medicare power wheelchairs Skills Training Program (WSTP, Version 2.4). From the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST, Version 2.4), we calculated pass-fail success rates for the 50 individual skills and a total percentage WST score. RESULTS: The mean (+/-SD) total WST scores were 89.3 (+/-7.0)% for the PAPAW and 88.8 (+/-8.4)% for the MWC, with a mean difference of 0.6 (+/-5.6)% (p = 0.59). Qualitative observations suggested that skills requiring a higher force on the pushrim (e.g., incline ascent) were performed more easily with the PAPAW, whereas skills requiring greater control of the wheelchair (e.g., wheelie-dependent skills) were performed more easily with the MWC. CONCLUSION: Overall wheelchair skill performance with the PAPAW is not superior to that when using the MWC. The PAPAW may be helpful for specific skills that require more wheel torque, but the additional torque appears to be disadvantageous when performing skills that require greater control

Characterization of power wheelchair use in the home and community

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the use of power wheelchairs and handicap scooters to determine if multiple measures of mobility and occupancy jointly provide a more comprehensive picture of wheelchair usage and daily activity in full-time power wheelchair users than daily distance alone. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Subjects’ everyday mobility was measured in their homes and communities for 2 weeks, and prompted recall interviews were conducted by phone. PARTICIPANTS: A convenience sample (N=25) of nonambulatory, full-time power wheelchair users. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Wheelchair usage was logged electronically, and geolocation and interview data were used to isolate chair use to (1) in the home, (2) not in the home indoors, or (3) outdoors. Distance wheeled, time spent wheeling, number of bouts, time spent in the wheelchair, and the percentage of time in the wheelchair spent wheeling were measured to describe wheelchair use. RESULTS: The median wheelchair user spent 10.6 hours (range, 5.0-16.6h) in his/her wheelchair daily and wheeled 1.085 km (range, 0.238-10.585 km) over 58 minutes (range, 16-173 min) and 110 bouts (range, 36-282 bouts). Wheelchair use varied across subjects, within subjects from day to day, and between environments. Mobility bouts outdoors were longer and faster than those wheeled indoors. In a regression analysis, distance wheeled explained only 33% of the variation in the number of bouts and 75% in the time spent wheeling. CONCLUSIONS: Power wheelchair use varies widely both within and between users. Measuring distance, time, and number of bouts provides a clearer picture of mobility patterns than measuring distance alone, whereas occupancy helps to measure wheelchair function in daily activities.

Influence of hand cycling on physical capacity in the rehabilitation of persons with a spinal cord injury: a longitudinal cohort study

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of handicap scooters on outcome measures of physical capacity during and after rehabilitation in persons with paraplegia and tetraplegia in The Netherlands. DESIGN: A longitudinal cohort study with measurement moments at the start (t1) and end (t2) of clinical rehabilitation and 1 year after discharge (t3). Hand cycle use was assessed by means of questionnaires at t2 and t3. SETTING: Eight rehabilitation centers in The Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS: Subjects (N=162) with a recent spinal cord injury. INTERVENTIONS: All subjects followed the regular rehabilitation program. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2)peak) and peak power output (POpeak) determined in a handrim medical scooters peak exercise test, peak muscle strength of the upper extremities, and pulmonary function. RESULTS: A significantly larger increment in Vo(2)peak, POpeak, and elbow extension strength was found in subjects with paraplegia during clinical rehabilitation. No such effect was found in subjects with tetraplegia. In the postrehabilitation period, no influence of hand cycling on any outcome measure was found in subjects with paraplegia or subjects with tetraplegia. CONCLUSIONS: After correction for baseline values and confounders, regular hand cycling (once a week or more) appeared to be beneficial for improving aerobic physical capacity in persons with paraplegia during clinical rehabilitation. The small and heterogeneous study groups may have hampered the finding of positive results of hand cycling in persons with tetraplegia.

History of the Mini Blind

A mini blind (mini-blind, miniblind) is a type of non-vertical window blind made of long, narrow slats held together by string and located inside the window. Its slats are not as wide as venetian blind slats.2 A mini blind has more slats than a regular Venetian blind because its slats are narrow. The slats of mini window treatments are less than half the width of regular Venetian window coverings. The slats are opened and closed by rotating a rod or by directly pulling a string. They are raised and lowered by pulling other strings.

window treatments made of narrow, light-weight horizontal wood slats, adjustable to admit or exclude light, were developed in 1794, and called Venetian window coverings. The window treatments were often used instead of window curtains or shutters. In the 1840s, these window coverings were held together by flat strips of cloth instead of by cords perhaps to shade the lift holes and like today they came in various colors.4 In 1966, a new pulley system was invented which afforded great improvement in the control mechanism. 5 Over time, narrower slats became more common, as they were easier to clean and they reduced glare at certain settings and their appearance was pleasing to many. In 1946 Henry Sonnenberg and Joe Hunter developed technology and equipment for the production of lightweight aluminum slats (50 mm) for Venetian window treatments, and by 1979, 25 mm slats were popular.6

In fact, drug abuse and addiction are among the most significant and challenging health and social problems facing society today. Fortunately, addiction is treatable. To understand the types and components of substance abuse detox doctor malibu, it is important to first be familiar with the nature of addiction.

Addiction is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive use of one or more substances that results in physical, psychological, or social harm to the individual and continued use of the substance or substances despite this harm. Addiction is a brain disease. Research by the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows that long-term exposure to drugs produces addictionthat is, the compulsion to take drugsby eliciting changes in specific neurons in the central nervous system.

It is important to note that not everyone who uses alcohol or experiments with illegal drugs goes on to become dependent or addicted. In fact, many people can use alcohol without serious negative consequences. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell early on whose use may lead to addiction.
