Du hast ja schon eine ganze Reihe von Antworten bekommen, dabei auch richtige. Das 'Freikaufen' funktioniert also prinzipiell nicht, was bedeutet, - du kannst nicht einfach hingehen und sagen: 'Ich zahle mehr, dafuer gibt es kein Fahrverbot.' In den vergangenen Jahren hatten saudische Frauen sich in den sozialen Netzwerken zu Protestaktionen verabredet: 2013 setzten sich mehr als 60. Auch die nun festgenommene al-Hathlul hat bereits im Jahr 2014 mehrere Monate in Haft verbracht, weil sie Frauen dazu aufrief, sich dem Fahrverbot zu. Mit 1 Monat ist auch wirklich ein Monat gemeint. Habe dort einen Schein bekommen. Ein Fahrverbot dauert in der Regel 1 Monat, maximal 3. Es gibt in Deinem Auto so etwas wie einen Tachometer. 4 Punkte, 1 Monat Fahrverbot. Mann Mann Mann. Wer am 06.11. Abgibt, darf bei einem Monat Fahrverbot ab Nikolaustag wieder fahren. Er hat 30 Tage Fahrverbot. Das liegt naemlich nicht in deinem Ermessen. Es gibt aber Umstaende, unter denen ein Richter gegen Zahlen einer hoeheren Geldbusse (in der Regel doppelt) auf das Fahrverbot verzichten kann. Das liegt aber im Ermessen des Richters, ER ist es, der eine solche Entscheidung trifft. @ginatilan hat einen Link gepostet, in dem zu sehen ist, unter welchen Umstaenden ein solches Absehen vom Fahrverbot moeglich ist. So - moeglich ist es also, dass es fuer deine Mutter auch ohne Fahrverbot ausgeht, wenn sie Widerspruch einlegt und das vor Gericht geht. Wenn sie 'ungefaehr' 40 zu schnell war, dann war das wohl vom Tacho abgelesen. Wenn man den Tachovorlauf beruecksichtigt und eine gewisse Toleranz, dann rechne ich eher damit, dass ihre Ueberschreitung unter 41 liegt und es sowieso nicht zum Fahrverbot kommt. Aufpassen muss sie aber in Zukunft auf jeden Fall. Wenn sie innerhalb eines Jahres ein zweites Mal zu schnell faehrt - und zwar ab 26 km/h zu schnell - dann gibt auch das schon ein Fahrverbot.

Feb 15, 2013. I just recently got a Samsung LED TV. It looks great but sounds terrible. So I picked up a sound bar. It's a Boston Acoustics TeeVee 26 and came with a subwoofer too. So what's the best way to connect the sound bar up to the TV and the sub? I want to get the best sound. -John in Denver. I am trying to hook up a Vizio sound bar to a 48' Samsung Hi definition TV. I cannot get any sound. The remote moves the volume up and down on the sound bar but doesn't move the volume on the TV. I can get the lights and the blue light. I have it connected to audio input 1 (white to white and red to red). It just isn't making. I was wondering the same thing after a couple days of having this bar set up. As far as I know you cannot add any additional speakers. This unit does sound great however you don’t quite get “surround” sound from the bar. If I were to go back I’d get a 5 channel set or the sound bar with 2 speakers indcluded as I feel my sound isn’t so much lacking just not exactly what I was looking for. Recap, no you cannot add speakers, get a 5 channel set or the sound bar with 2 speakers included if you want real surround sound as you can tell all the sound is coming from right in front of the tv. The usable length of a Toslink (optical fiber) connection will depend on the intensity of the light source and the quality of the plastic fiber; typically the length of the cable should not exceed 10 meters (33 feet) which meets your requirement. Toslink cables made with glass fibers instead of plastic fibers have lower signal loss and can be used when the cable length is greater than 10 meters. The 3.5 mm copper connection will work at 20 feet using a shielded cable, but the cable should not be run close to (or parallel to) electrical power cables (for example, extension cards) to minimize the possibility of picking up 60 HZ power line hum. Wall Mounted vs Shelf Placed Sound Bar - ZVOX SB400. Images by ZVOX Audio If your TV is on a larger stand, table, shelf, or cabinet, you can often place the sound bar just below the TV. Obviously you'll need to measure the height of the sound bar versus the height of bottom of the TV to make sure the sound bar doesn't block the screen, but it's an ideal placement since the sound will come from where you're already looking. If putting a sound bar on a shelf inside a cabinet, place it as forward as possible so that sound directed to the sides is not obstructed. Keep in mind, if the sound bar features and audio capability, placing within a cabinet shelf is not desirable as the sound bar needs to project sound vertically for overhead surround sound effects. If your TV is on a wall, most sound bars can also be wall mounted. The sound bar can be placed either below or above the TV. However, it is best to mount it below the TV, if possible—not only is the sound better directed to the primary seated listening position, it also looks better (although you may feel differently). To make wall mounting easier, many sound bars come with the needed hardware and/or a paper wall template that allows you to find the best spot and mark the screw point for provided wall mounts. If your sound bar is not packaged with wall mounting hardware or a template, consult your user guide for more details on what you need, and if the manufacturer offers these items as optional purchases. NOTE: Unlike the photo examples shown, it's less than optimal to obstruct the front or sides of the sound bar with decorative items. Basic Sound Bar Connections: Yamaha YAS-203 Used As Example. Images by Yamaha Electronics Corp and Robert Silva Once you have decided how to place the sound bar, you need to connect your TV and other components. In the case of wall mounting, make your connections before you permanently mount the sound bar on the wall. Shown above are connections you may find on a basic sound bar. Of course, the position and labeling may vary, depending on brand and model, but this is a fair representation of what you'll find. From left to right, are, and connections, with their corresponding cable types. The digital optical connection is best used to send audio from your TV to the sound bar. If you find that your TV does not have this connection, you can use the analog stereo connections if your TV provides that option. If your TV has both, it is your choice. Once you have your TV connected, you need to make sure it can send audio signals to the sound bar. This can be done by going into the TV's audio or speaker settings menu and turning off the TVs internal speakers (don't get this confused with the MUTE function which would also affect your sound bar) and/or turning on the TV's external speaker or audio output option. You may also have the choice of choosing digital optical or analog (although this may be detected automatically dependent on which is actually physically connected). Ordinarily, you only need to make the external speaker setting once. However, if you decide not to use the sound bar for watching certain content, you will need to turn the TV's internal speakers back on, then back off when using the sound bar again. The digital coaxial connection can be used to connect a Blu-ray Disc, DVD player, or other audio source that has this option available. If your source devices do not have this option, they will most likely have a digital optical or analog option. One other connection option that you may find on a basic sound bar, that is not shown in the photo, is a analog stereo input, either in addition to, or replacement of, the analog stereo jacks shown. A 3.5mm input jack makes it convenient to connect portable music players or similar audio sources. However, you can still connect standard audio sources via an. NOTE: If you are using a digital optical or digital coaxial connection, and your sound bar does not support or audio decoding, set your TV or other source device (DVD, Blu-ray, Cable/Satellite, Media Streamer) to output or use the analog audio connection option. Hi-End Sound Bar Connections: Yamaha YAS-706 Used As Example. Images by Yamaha Electronics Corp and Robert Silva In addition to the digital optical, digital coaxial, and analog stereo audio options shown in the previous page, a higher-end sound bar may provide additional connections, as shown in the above photo. HDMI connections enable you to route your DVD, Blu-ray, HD-cable/satellite box, or media streamer through the sound bar to the TV. In this arrangement, the video signals are passed-through untouched, while the audio can be extracted and decoded/processed by the sound bar. HDMI reduces clutter between the sound bar and the TV as you do not have to connect separate cables to the TV for video and the sound bar for audio from external source devices. In addition, may be supported. This allows the TV to send audio to the sound bar using the same HDMI cable that the sound bar uses to pass video through to the TV. This means that you don't have to make a separate audio cable connection from the TV to the sound bar. If you want to take advantage of this feature, you need to go into the TV's HDMI setup menu and activate it. Consult your TV and sound bar user guide if needed, as accessing the setup menus for this feature may vary from brand-to-brand. Many sound bars include a subwoofer output. If your sound bar has one, you can physically connect an external subwoofer to the sound bar. Sound bars typically need a subwoofer to produce the added bass for a movie listening experience. Although many sound bars come with a subwoofer, there are some that don't, but may still provide you with the option of adding one later. Also, many sound bars, even if they provide a physical subwoofer output connection, come with a wireless subwoofer, which definitely reduces cable clutter further (more on subwoofer installation in the next section). Another connection included on some sound bars is an Ethernet (Network) port. This option supports connection to a home network that may allow access to internet-based music streaming services, and, in some cases, integration of the sound bar into a multi-room music system (more on this later). Sound bars that include an Ethernet port may also provide built-in, which, once again, reduces cable clutter. Use the network/internet connection option that works best for you. Sound Bar With Subwoofer - Klipsch RSB-14. Image provided by Klipsch Group If your sound bar comes with a subwoofer, or you add one, you need to find a place to put it. You want to make sure that you place the sub where it is both convenient (you need to be near an AC power outlet) and. After you place the subwoofer and are satisfied with its bass response, you need to balance it with your sound bar so that is not too loud or too soft. If your sound bar provides subwoofer support, check your remote control to see if it has separate volume level controls for both the sound bar and the subwoofer. If it does, it makes it a lot easier to get the right balance. Also, check to see if your sound bar also has a master volume control. If available, the master volume control will enable you to raise and lower the volume of both at the same time, with the same ratio, so you don't have re-balance the sound bar and subwoofer every time you want to raise or lower the volume. Vizio Sound Bar System with Surround Speakers. Image provided by Vizio There are some sound bars (mostly Vizio and Nakamichi) that include both a subwoofer and surround speakers. In these systems, the subwoofer is wireless, but the surround speakers connect to the subwoofer via speaker cables. The sound bar produces the sound needed for the front left, center, and right channels, but sends bass and surround signals wirelessly to the subwoofer. The subwoofer then routes the surround signals to the connected speakers. This option eliminates wire running from the front to the back of the room, but since you still need to physically connect the surround speakers to the subwoofer, placement options for the subwoofer are limited, as it needs to be placed in the back of the room, near the surround speakers. On the other hand, select sound bars from Sonos (Playbar) and Polk Audio (SB1 Plus) allow the addition of two optional wireless surround speakers that do not have to be physically connected to a subwoofer - although you still need to plug them into AC power. This option is expensive, but more flexible. If your sound bar provides surround speaker support, for best results, place them to the sides, about 10 to 20 degrees behind your listening position (if possible). The surround speakers should also be placed a few inches away from side walls or room corners. If your surround speakers have to physically connect to a subwoofer, place the subwoofer near the back wall in the best spot where it provides the deepest, but clear, bass output. Once connected, you not only need to balance the subwoofer with your sound bar, but you also need to balance the surround speaker output so that doesn't overwhelm the sound bar, but also not too soft. Check your remote control for separate surround speaker level controls. Once set, if you also have a master volume control, you should be able to raise and lower the volume of your entire system without loosing the balance between your sound bar, surround speakers, and subwoofer. Yamaha Digital Sound Projector Tech - Intellibeam. Images by Yamaha Electronics Corp Another type of sound bar you might encounter is a Digital Sound Projector. These types of sound bars are manufactured by Yamaha and are identified with model numbers starting with the letters 'YSP' (Yamaha Sound Projector). What makes these sound bars different is that instead of housing traditional speakers, there is a continuous layout of 'beam drivers' spread across the front surface. These beam drivers can be assigned into several groups to project 2, 3, 5, or 7 channel sound. Due to this added complexity, extra setup is required. First, you have the option of assigning the beam drivers for into specific groups to enable the number of channels you desire. Then, you plug in a special provided microphone into the sound bar to aid the sound bar setup. The sound bar generates test tones that are projected into the room. The microphone picks up the tones and transfers them back to the sound bar. The software in the sound bar then analyzes the tones and adjusts beam driver performance to best match your room dimensions and acoustics. Digital sound Projection technology requires a room where sound can be reflected off walls. If you have a room with one, or more, open ends, a digital sound projector may not be your best sound bar choice. Yamaha SRT-1500 Sound Base. Image provuded by Yamaha Electronics Corporation Another variation on the sound bar is the Sound Base. A sound base takes the speakers and connectivity of a sound bar and places it in a cabinet that can also double as platform to set a TV on top of. However, placement with TVs is more limited as sound bases work best with TVs that come with center stands. In other words, if you have a TV with end feet, they may be too far apart to place on top of a sound base as the sound base may be narrower than the distance between the TV's end feet. In addition, the sound base may also be higher than the vertical height of lower bezel of the TV frame. If you prefer a sound base over a sound bar, make sure you take these factors into consideration. Depending on brand, a sound base product may be labeled as follows: 'audio console', 'sound platform', 'sound pedestal', 'sound plate', and 'TV speaker base'. Yamaha MusicCast - Lifestyle and Diagram. Images provided by Yamaha One feature that is very common, even on basic sound bars, is. On most sound bars, this feature allows you to stream music directly from your smartphone and other compatible devices. However, some high-end sound bars also allow you to send audio from the sound bar to Bluetooth headsets or Bluetooth speakers. Check your sound bar for these options and follow the pairing instructions provided in your user guide. Wireless Multi-room Audio The most recent inclusion in some sound bars is wireless multi-room audio. This feature allows you to use the sound bar, in conjunction with a smartphone app, to send music from connected sources or streamed from the internet to compatible wireless speakers that may be located in other rooms in the house. So far, wireless multi-room audio systems are closed, or semi-closed systems. In other words, the sound bar brand determines which speakers it can work with. For example, the Sonos Playbar will only work with Sonos wireless speakers, -equipped sound bars will only work with Yamaha-branded wireless speakers, Denon sound bars will only work with, and Vizio sound bars with will only with SmartCast-branded speakers. However, sound bar brands that incorporate, will work across several brands of wireless speakers, as long as they support the DTS Play-Fi platform. Hat diesen Pin entdeckt.

Enzyme immunoassay for IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) was positive in 176 (93.1%) and negative in 13 (6.9%) of 189 patients positive for HBsAg and negative for IgM antibody to hepatitis A virus. The former were considered to be acute hepatitis B infections and the latter chronic carriers superinfected with another virus or acute exacerbation of chronic infection. At six months, all surviving acute hepatitis B patients had cleared HBsAg. All surviving chronic carriers remained HBsAg-positive. In another prospective study, 18 adults with subclinical hepatitis B infection also cleared HBsAg within six months. These data suggest that in contrast to newborns and children, adult patients rarely develop chronic antigenemia after acute hepatitis B infection. The postulated risk should mainly be attributed to misdiagnosis of cases of superinfection of chronic carriers or acute exacerbation of chronic infection. The retropharyngeal space (RPS) extends from the skull base to the upper mediastinum, and the prevertebral space (PVS) extends from the skull base to the coccyx. Clues to the location of a mass in the PVS include preservation but anterior displacement of RPS fat and effacement of the longus colli and longus capitis. Oct 10, 2016.

They occur mostly in immunocompromised patients or as a foreign body complication. We report 5 cases of retropharyngeal abscess collected in the ENT Department of CHU Mohammed VI of Marrakech, during a two-year period (December 2008 to December 2009). Local trauma by foreign body ingestion was the aetiology in four patients. The presenting symptoms, for all patients, were fever, odynophagia, torticollis, and trismus, and the clinical examination showed bulging of the posterior wall of the oropharynx. The radiography of cervical spine showed prevertebral thickening in all cases, this thickening was associated with an aspect of vertebral lysis of the fourth cervical vertebra in one case. A CT scan was performed in all our cases and showed features of retropharyngeal abscess which was associated, in one case, with spondylodiscitis. The biological assessment found one case of diabetes. The intradermal reaction to the tuberculin was clearly positive in one case. Endobuccal abscess puncture was practiced in 4 cases; only one organism was identified by culture: Staphylococcus aureus treatment was based on triple intravenous antibiotics and anti-Koch's therapy (in one case), and the surgical drainage under general anesthesia was also performed in the case of the diabetes patient which required also the correction of hyperglycemia in intensive care unit. The outcome was good in all our patients. The diagnosis of retropharyngeal abscess can be difficult and one must seek a comorbidity; a tuberculosis aetiology must be considered in countries with a high prevalence. The management of these cases is based on antibiotics and surgical drainage. Results Sixteen patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Most patients were Afro Trinidadian males between the ages of two and five who were also found to be iron deficient. Drooling was a sensitive predictor for the presence of an abscess but did not indicate the need for drainage. Hoarseness was the clinical feature that prompted surgical intervention. Sixty three percent of patients had an abscess >2 cm of which 90% improved within 48 h. One patient required surgical drainage with no increase in morbidity or mortality. 1. Introduction Deep neck space infections can occur in the pediatric population. They may result in the development of retropharyngeal, parapharyngeal and peritonsillar abscesses. The retropharyngeal abscess accounts for 40–80% of these cases and has an incidence of 7.5–13 cases per year,,. They are associated with complications such as acute airway compression, aspiration of pus, mediastinitis, pericarditis, sepsis and neurological defects,,. Thrombosis of the internal jugular vein, erosion into the carotid artery and formation of a carotid aneurysm have been reported in rare cases,,. Therefore it is important to treat these abscesses early and as effectively as possible. Until recently, surgical drainage was the only form of treatment for retropharyngeal abscesses,,. However, adequate access to the retropharyngeal space can be difficult. Drainage is also associated with a risk of neurovascular injury, scarring, wound infection and the risk of a general anaesthetic. In an attempt to avoid these problems, conservative management using intravenous antibiotics alone was advocated. Several studies have since reported success in managing pediatric patients with abscesses up to two centimeters using the conservative approach,,,,. Most abscesses over two centimeters are still treated by surgical drainage only. Here we present a 3 year prospective case series from a single tertiary level institution in Trinidad which evaluates the effectiveness of conservative management for the treatment of retropharyngeal abscesses in the pediatric population. Emphasis will be placed on the abscesses that are greater than two centimeters in long axis on computed tomography (CT). 2. Methods A three year prospective case series was performed by the Otolaryngology department of the San Fernando General Hospital during the period July 1st, 2012 to June 30th, 2015. All pediatric patients with clinical features of a retropharyngeal abscess that was confirmed on a CT scan of the neck were included in the study. The imaging features that were used to define a case were the presence of a hypodense or fluid filled lesion in the neck with ring enhancement,,. No patient in the study had an allergy to penicillin. However due to issues of antibiotic availability, all patients were given intravenous third generation cephalosporins and metronidazole. Broad spectrum coverage was necessary as needle aspiration under ultrasound or CT guidance was not available at the hospital and therefore the microorganisms involved could not have been identified. These were the limitations of the study. All patients received dexamethasone every 12 h for the first three days of admission in addition to the antibiotics. The patients were observed closely for signs of deterioration. They were discharged only after their symptoms resolved completely and white blood cell counts returned to normal. Successful conservative management was documented if the patient did not require drainage of the abscess during the period of their hospitalisation. Surgical drainage was performed on patients whose symptoms failed to improve after 48 h of intravenous antibiotics, those who developed complications or who deteriorated on conservative management. The exclusion criteria included patients who were discharged against medical advice and thus became lost to follow up, patients who had a CT scan but did not have a report documenting the dimensions of the abscess or those with clinical features of a retropharyngeal abscess but who never had a CT scan. The results were then analysed to determine the characteristics of patients who were successfully treated or failed conservative management. 3. Results Over a three year period, eighteen patients presented to the hospital with a clinical diagnosis of a retropharyngeal abscess. However, two patients had to be excluded from the study as the exact dimensions of the abscesses on CT scan were not reported. Approximately 81% of patients were Afro Trinidadians, 13% were Indo Trinidadians and 6% were of mixed ethnicity. The male to female ratio was 11:5. The ages of the patients ranged from 16 months to eleven years. The number of patients who had a true anemia according to age and sex were 44%. All patients had an elevated white blood cell count with a leucocytosis (see, ). Comparison of the clinical features and treatment based on the size of the abscess confirmed on CT scanning. The most common symptoms were fever and neck swelling which accounted for 81% and 69% of patients respectively. This was followed by cough, decreased range of neck movement, dysphagia, odynophagia, drooling, vomiting, difficulty breathing, trismus, headache and diarrhoea. Almost all patients had a preceding head and neck infection before development of the retropharyngeal abscesses. Acute tonsillitis (38%) was the most common infective cause followed by acute otitis media and upper respiratory tract infections. The etiology of the rest of cases were unknown. No cases of penetrating neck trauma were recorded. Hospital stay ranged from two to thirty three days. The average number of days a patient spent in hospital was six. Only one patient required surgical drainage of the retropharyngeal abscess and was hospitalised for a total of seven days. Fifteen of the sixteen patients were successfully managed with conservative treatment. 4. Discussion Retropharyngeal abscesses can develop in one of three ways. Firstly, penetrating trauma to the head or neck can result in the entry of a pathogen into the body and subsequent development of infection and abscesses. Secondly, infection of adjacent structures like the teeth can spread directly to the retropharyngeal space and lead to abscess formation. Thirdly, drainage of lymph from infected areas in the nose, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oropharynx, middle ear and surrounding structures can introduce pathogens into the deep cervical nodes. Subsequent suppuration of these nodes can cause abscess formation,,. Older studies reported the incidence of retropharyngeal abscesses to range between 1 and 4.5 cases per year,,,. This low value was attributed to improvements in health care, immunization and development of new antibiotics. However, within the last two decades, the incidence seems to have increased and this is reflected in our study (6 cases/year). Two reasons have been put forward to explain this finding. The first is an apparent increase in cases due to the increased availability and use of CT scans in hospitals,,. In the past, many retropharyngeal abscesses may have been misdiagnosed and treated as cervical lymphadenopathy. A CT scan will differentiate between a node and an abscess and thus the number of reported cases of abscesses will increase. All the patients in this study had a CT scan of the neck. The second reason for the increased incidence is inappropriate antibiotic use. Due to the difficulty in performing aspirations for retropharyngeal abscesses and sometimes lack of image guided needle aspiration services, specimen for culture and sensitivity cannot be obtained. Thus a broad spectrum antibiotic has to be used. This may contribute to a rise in antibiotic resistant organisms. There is no ethnic predisposition documented in the literature. However, in this study the condition occurred more frequently in Afro Trinidadian patients. The San Fernando General Hospital is located in the Southern part of the island where there is a predominance of Indo Trinidadians. However, during the time the study was conducted, the hospital accepted all acute pediatric Otolaryngology cases in Trinidad. Therefore the findings of this study are representative of the entire country and eliminates any perceived bias due to hospital location. Perhaps genetic susceptibility may have a part to play in this predisposition. The majority of affected patients were males which is similar to the findings of other studies,,. Half of the patients in the study who developed abscesses belonged to the 2–5 years age group. Children below the age of five years have more lymphoid tissue in the retropharyngeal space,. Recurrent head and neck infections with drainage of infected lymph to the retropharyngeal nodes increases the probability that an inflamed node will suppurate and form an abscess. This may explain why this age group was more affected. Atrophy of the nodes occur as children grow older resulting in a decreased probability of abscess formation. More than forty percent of the study population were anaemic. Children who are between six months and two years of age normally undergo a rapid growth phase with increased need for iron. This puts them at a high risk of developing iron deficiency anaemia. Several studies indicate that iron deficiency anaemia causes impaired cell mediated immunity which can prevent the body from fighting off infection,,,. This may have contributed to the development of the retropharyngeal abscesses in this age group. Most of the patients presented with fever and neck swelling. This corresponds with the clinical features of retropharyngeal abscesses documented in most studies,. However, cellulitis and lymphadenopathy can have similar presentations. Drooling is a symptom that may be more specific to the retropharyngeal abscess as it indicates severe compression or oedema of the oesophagus. This was present in all abscesses up to 4 cm in size. However, the patient who had an abscess greater than 4 cm did not have any drooling. This may have more to do with CT scan interpretation rather than the presence of an abscess. In this study, ring enhancement on CT scan was one of the features used to make a diagnosis of an abscess. However, the specificity of CT in diagnosing a retropharyngeal abscess is only 45–65%. It has a false negative rate of 13% and false positive rate of 10%,,. Early stage fibrosis of a phlegmon can also produce ring enhancement. Wall scalloping which was not part of the case definition used has been found to be a better indicator of the presence of an abscess. The radiological limitations together with the lack of aerodigestive tract compromise suggests that for the abscess greater than four centimeters, the infection of the retropharyngeal space may have been at a very early stage and that an abscess may have not been present. Therefore, antibiotics would have been able to gain access to the infection site. The symptom that prompted surgical intervention was that of hoarseness. This suggested oedema of the larynx with the possibility of acute airway obstruction and therefore conservative management was abandoned in favor of surgical drainage. The majority of abscesses occurred after episodes of acute tonsillitis (38%), acute otitis media (13%) and upper respiratory tract infections (6%). There were no documented cases of penetrating trauma and the abscesses most likely resulted from suppuration of infected nodes. The recommended antibiotics for treatment of retropharyngeal abscesses are clindamycin, ampicillin/sulbactum, third generation cephalosporins and metronidazole,. All patients in the study were treated with an intravenous third generation cephalosporin and metronidazole. Intravenous steroids were also given to decrease the soft tissue oedema and pain. Most papers report successful conservative management of retropharyngeal abscesses that measure up to two centimeters in long axis in children,,. Surgical intervention is still used for the larger abscesses. In our study, approximately 63% of patients had an abscess greater than two centimeters and only 10% of this subgroup required surgical drainage. In children, retropharyngeal abscesses form within nodes instead of being limited by fascia as in adults. Therefore many of the local and regional complications documented with adults rarely occur in the younger age group. A CT scan of the neck can suggest the presence of an abscess but depending on the radiological features used to make the diagnosis, the specificity may be low,,,. Therefore with retropharyngeal abscesses greater than two centimeters, children can be given a trial of conservative management for 48 h. They should be monitored for hoarseness as this may indicate impending airway compromise. If this occurs, drainage should be performed. Surgical intervention should not be performed for drooling alone as this symptom also occurs in patients who can be treated conservatively. Ninety percent of patients with abscesses greater than two centimeters improved within 48 h and subsequently resolved completely on conservative management. The patient who required surgical drainage did not suffer any increased morbidity or mortality from having initial conservative management. Both forms of treatment resulted in an average hospitalisation time of six days. The patient who was treated conservatively for 33 days may have been considered for surgical intervention. However, if a patient is slowly improving both clinically and biochemically on antibiotics alone, this may not be an easy decision to make. The risk of iatrogenic injury from surgical intervention must be weighed against antimicrobial resistance and prolonged hospitalisation. The decision to change from conservative to surgical management in such a patient should be made after discussion with the patient's relatives, Otolaryngologist and Microbiologist. 5. Conclusion The use of CT scans and the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance have resulted in an increase in the incidence of retropharyngeal abscesses. In Trinidad, an Afro Trinidadian male who is less than five years old and also has iron deficiency anemia is at a high risk of developing an abscess following a head and neck infection. Although a CT scan of the neck is used in the diagnosis of a retropharyngeal abscess, it has limited specificity. Radiological findings should always be combined with clinical features to guide patient management. Drooling suggests compression of the soft tissues by a mass but should not be the reason for a change from conservative management. Hoarseness is the symptom that indicates the need for surgical intervention. Conservative management has been used to successfully treat abscesses that are smaller than two centimeters. This study proves that it can also be used to treat abscesses that are greater than two centimeters with no increase in morbidity and mortality. A trial of antibiotics should be given to larger abscesses and if there is no improvement in 48 h, surgical drainage can be performed.

Results showed that eleven patients developed subsequent hemorrhagic transformation at follow-up. A hyperintense middle cerebral artery sign on MRI was found in six hemorrhagic patients, all of who had acute thrombosis formation on magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography. No patients in the non-hemorrhagic group had hyperintense middle cerebral artery sign on MRI. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values of the hyperintense middle cerebral artery sign on MRI T1-weighted image for subsequent hemorrhagic transformation were 54.5%, 100%, and 100% respectively. Hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign on non-contrast CT was observed in nine patients, five of who developed hemorrhagic transformation. These data suggest that hyperintense middle cerebral artery sign on MRI T1-weighted image is a highly specific and moderately sensitive indicator of subsequent hemorrhagic transformation in patients after acute ischemic stroke, and its specificity is superior to CT. • Marstrand, J.R.; Garde, E; Rostrup, Egill 2002-01-01 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is growing evidence that white matter hyperintensities (WMH) should not be considered as benign age-dependent changes on MR images but indicate pathological changes with clinical consequences. • Besuchen Sie den BMI-Rechner Webseite und geben Sie.

The effects of these processes on the function of distributed cognitive networks, however, are poorly understood. We hypothesized that the extent of magnetic resonance imaging white matter hyperintensities would be associated with visual attentional control in healthy aging, measured using a functional magnetic resonance imaging search task. We assessed cognitively healthy older adults with search tasks indexing processing speed and attentional control. Expanding upon previous research, older adults demonstrate activation across a frontal-parietal attentional control network. Further, greater white matter hyperintensity volume was associated with increased activation of a frontal network node independent of chronological age. Also consistent with previous research, greater white matter hyperintensity volume was associated with anatomically specific reductions in functional magnetic resonance imaging functional connectivity during search among attentional control regions. White matter hyperintensities may lead to subtle attentional network dysfunction, potentially through impaired frontal-parietal and frontal interhemispheric connectivity, suggesting that clinically silent white matter biomarkers of vascular and inflammatory injury can contribute to differences in search performance and brain function in aging, and likely contribute to advanced age-related impairments in cognitive control. • Lockhart, Samuel N.; Luck, Steven J.; Geng, Joy; Beckett, Laurel; Disbrow, Elizabeth A.; Carmichael, Owen; DeCarli, Charles 2015-01-01 The mechanisms by which aging and other processes can affect the structure and function of brain networks are important to understanding normal age-related cognitive decline.

School of Medicine) 1992-05-01 Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 270 patients with various neurologic complaints (1-15Y) with a 0.5 tesla superconducting imaging system using a field echo T1-weighted sequence and spin echo T2-weighted and PD-weighted sequences. Twenty-seven of them had deep white matter hyperintensity (DWMH) in the occipital lobe on T2-weighted images. The frequency of mild DWMH differed in different age groups, suggesting that mild DWMH may result from delayed myelination in the central nervous system. However, the frequency of severe DWMH, which was revealed as isointense relative to cerebrospinal fluid, did not differ in different age groups and it was significantly more common in severely retarded patients. Classification of DWMH based on the signal intensity is valuable to distinguish white matter abnormalities in the occipital lobe from delayed myelination in the same site. • Maya Thomas 2012-01-01 Full Text Available Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE is chronic encephalitis occurring after infection with measles virus. An 8-year-old boy presented with progressive behavioral changes, cognitive decline and myoclonic jerks, progressing to a bed bound state over 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI brain showed T2-weighted hyperintensities in the subcortical areas of the left occipital lobe and brachium of the inferior colliculus on both sides. EEG showed bilateral, synchronous periodic discharges. Serum/cerebrospinal fluid measles IgG titer was significantly positive. The overall features were suggestive of SSPE. MRI finding of bilateral inferior colliculus changes on MRI without significant involvement of other commonly involved areas suggests an uncommon/rare imaging pattern of SSPE. • Arimura, Hidetaka; Kawata, Yasuo; Yamashita, Yasuo; Magome, Taiki; Ohki, Masafumi; Toyofuku, Fukai; Higashida, Yoshiharu; Tsuchiya, Kazuhiro 2010-03-01 We have developed a computerized evaluation method of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) regions for the diagnosis of vascular dementia (VaD) based on magnetic resonance (MR) images, and implemented the proposed method as a graphical interface program. The WMH regions were segmented using either a region growing technique or a level set method, one of which was selected by using a support vector machine. We applied the proposed method to MR images acquired from 10 patients with a diagnosis of VaD. The mean similarity index between WMH regions determined by a manual method and the proposed method was 78.2+/-11.0%. The proposed method could effectively assist neuroradiologists in evaluating WMH regions. • Salem, Lise C; Hejl, Anne-Mette; Garde, Ellen; 2011-01-01 Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle response, a measure for sensorimotor gating, exhibits a relatively high inter-individual variability in elderly subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate whether white matter hyperintensities (WMH), frequently identified on cranial magnetic. Resonance imaging (MRI) in elderly subjects with and without cognitive impairment, may contribute to variations in PPI. A passive acoustic PPI paradigm was applied in 92 human subjects (53 healthy and 39 patients with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment) between 60 and 85years of age. Rated visually on craniel MRI FLAIR images using the Fazekas scale. WMH were identified in 70% of all subjects. The latency to peak of the startle response increased significantly with increasing WMH load, whereas the inhibition of the startle response (PPI) was neither significantly related. • Marstrand, J.R.; Garde, E; Rostrup, Egill; 2002-01-01 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is growing evidence that white matter hyperintensities (WMH) should not be considered as benign age-dependent changes on MR images but indicate pathological changes with clinical consequences. Previous studies comparing subjects with WMH to normal controls have. Reported global reductions in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral vascular reactivity. In this study, we examined localized hemodynamic status to compare WMH to normal appearing white matter (NAWM). METHODS: A group of 21 normal 85-year-old subjects were studied using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Together with administration of acetazolamide. From a combination of anatomic images with different signal weighting, regions of interest were generated corresponding to gray and white matter and WMH. Localized measurements of CBF and cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time were obtained directly. • Yoon-Sang Oh 2013-10-01 Full Text Available Background and Purpose: Several reports on the elderly population have suggested that orthostatic hypotension is associated with white matter hyperintensities (WMH; however, little information is available on patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD. Methods: We analyzed the association blood pressure profiles during tilt table testing with WMH scores in 117 patients with PD. WMH were rated using the semiquantitative visual rating system proposed by Scheltens et al. Results: The presence of orthostatic hypotension was associated with increasing tendency of WMH score and the blood pressure changes during tilting and supine blood pressure were positively correlated with increasing WMH score. Conclusions: This finding indicates that hemodynamic changes associated with orthostatic hypotension may be associated with white matter changes in patients with PD. • van Straaten, EC; Fazekas, F; Rostrup, Egill; 2006-01-01 between groups with and without symptoms. METHODS: We used data of 618 independently living elderly with WMH collected in the Leukoaraiosis And DISability (LADIS) study. Subjects with and without symptoms of depression, gait disturbances, urinary incontinence, and memory decline were compared with respect.BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are associated with decline in cognition, gait, mood, and urinary continence. Associations may depend on the method used for measuring WMH. We investigated the ability of different WMH scoring methods to detect differences in WMH load. And Mann-Whitney tests. In addition, the punctate and confluent lesion type with comparable WMH volume were compared with respect to the clinical data using Student t test and chi2 test. Direct comparison of visual ratings with volumetry was done using curve fitting. RESULTS: Visual and volumetric. • Lockhart, Samuel N.; Roach, Alexandra E.; Luck, Steven J.; Geng, Joy; Beckett, Laurel; Carmichael, Owen; DeCarli, Charles 2014-01-01 A fundamental controversy is whether cognitive decline with advancing age can be entirely explained by decreased processing speed, or whether specific neural changes can elicit cognitive decline, independent of slowing. These hypotheses are anchored by studies of healthy older individuals where age is presumed the sole influence. Unfortunately, advancing age is also associated with asymptomatic brain white matter injury. We hypothesized that differences in white matter injury extent, manifest by MRI white matter hyperintensities (WMH), mediate differences in visual attentional control in healthy aging, beyond processing speed differences. We tested young and cognitively healthy older adults on search tasks indexing speed and attentional control. Increasing age was associated with generally slowed performance. WMH was also associated with slowed search times independent of processing speed differences. Consistent with evidence attributing reduced network connectivity to WMH, these results conclusively demonstrate that clinically silent white matter injury contributes to slower search performance indicative of compromised cognitive control, independent of generalized slowing of processing speed. PMID:24183716 • Gaist, David; Garde, Ellen; Blaabjerg, Morten 2016-01-01 A small number of population-based studies reported an association between migraine with aura and risk of silent brain infarcts and white matter hyperintensities in females. We investigated these relations in a population-based sample of female twins. We contacted female twins ages 30-60 years. Identified through the population-based Danish Twin Registry. Based on questionnaire responses, twins were invited to participate in a telephone-based interview conducted by physicians. Headache diagnoses were established according to the International Headache Society criteria. Cases with migraine with aura.% confidence interval): 0.17 (-0.08 to 0.41) cm(3)] and a similar difference was present in analyses restricted to twin pairs discordant for migraine with aura [adjusted mean difference 0.21 (-0.20 to 0.63)], but these differences did not reach statistical significance.

It may be related to liver dysfunction or portal-systemic shunting. We report a case of extra hepatic portal vein obstruction with portal hypertension and esophageal varices that presented with extra pyramidal features. T1 weighted MRI brain scans showed increased symmetrical signal intensities in the basal ganglia. Normal hepatic function in this patient emphasizes the role of portal- systemic communications in the development of these hyperintensities, which may be due to deposition of paramagnetic substances like manganese in the basal ganglia. • Thomas Samaille Full Text Available White matter hyperintensities (WMH on T2 or FLAIR sequences have been commonly observed on MR images of elderly people. They have been associated with various disorders and have been shown to be a strong risk factor for stroke and dementia. WMH studies usually required visual evaluation of WMH load or time-consuming manual delineation. This paper introduced WHASA (White matter Hyperintensities Automated Segmentation Algorithm, a new method for automatically segmenting WMH from FLAIR and T1 images in multicentre studies. Contrary to previous approaches that were based on intensities, this method relied on contrast: non linear diffusion filtering alternated with watershed segmentation to obtain piecewise constant images with increased contrast between WMH and surroundings tissues. WMH were then selected based on subject dependant automatically computed threshold and anatomical information. WHASA was evaluated on 67 patients from two studies, acquired on six different MRI scanners and displaying a wide range of lesion load. Accuracy of the segmentation was assessed through volume and spatial agreement measures with respect to manual segmentation; an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC of 0.96 and a mean similarity index (SI of 0.72 were obtained. WHASA was compared to four other approaches: Freesurfer and a thresholding approach as unsupervised methods; k-nearest neighbours (kNN and support vector machines (SVM as supervised ones. For these latter, influence of the training set was also investigated. WHASA clearly outperformed both unsupervised methods, while performing at least as good as supervised approaches (ICC range: 0.87-0.91 for kNN; 0.89-0.94 for SVM. Mean SI: 0.63-0.71 for kNN, 0.67-0.72 for SVM, and did not need any training set. Join a marine biologist on a Sea Life Encounter Cruise with Sarasota Bay Explorers in Sarasota, Florida. Top Ten activities in Sarasota Have you been spending a lot of time on? Looking for a change of pace? Experience the beautiful city of Sarasota, where there is a whole lot to do! These are the top 10 activities we’ve found south of Anna Maria 1 ) – The Ringling museum is the best bang for your buck in Sarasota. Costing only $25 for adults, your ticket gives you access to the entire Ringling “campus”, where you will get lost for hours wandering around the immaculately landscaped grounds. The actual museum of art runs special exhibits year round, and is packed with Asian, European, and American treasures. Be sure to make it out to the breathtaking 56 room Ca’ d’Zan Mansion, built in 1925, which overlooks gorgeous Sarasota bay. Last but not least, be sure to visit the Circus Museum. Built in 1948, it was the first museum to commemorate the robust history of the American circus. 2 ) – After you’ve experienced all the shopping that Anna Maria Island has to offer, the next logical step is St. The circle as we know it today was developed in the early 1950s, and has been steadily growing alongside the city of Sarasota ever since. Enjoy a cocktail before your meal at Tommy Bahamas’, or experience the fine dining of, which is based on the restaurant of the same name in Tampa, founded in 1905. After your meal, be sure to check out one of the many elegant shops that populate the circle, which include luxury clothing stores, jewelers, and multitudes of specialty shops. 3 ) – Mote Marine is one of the most interesting attractions in the greater Sarasota area, for multiple reasons. First and foremost, it acts as a marine animal rescue an research center, which is an incredibly important service with the ever-growing population of people around the Gulf of Mexico. Now here’s the fun part: the animals that they can not rehabilitate for the wild are put into educational exhibits where they are treated like royalty. Be sure to check out the different touch tanks, which are full of sting rays, hermit crabs, sea anemones, and other cool creatures. This is a perfect place to bring your kids! The Van Wezel Performing Arts Center of Sarasota 4 ) Sarasota Jungle Gardens – One of the oldest consistently open attractions in Florida, are truly amazing. The diversity of the plant life is a major attraction, with over 3000 different species of flora that have been introduced to the ecosystem since it opened. I, however, found the wildlife to be the most interesting aspect. The Gardens play an important role in the upkeep of central Florida’s, as the vast majority of the exotic animals there are rescues, with many of them being taken in from the wild after previous owners abandoned them. Be sure to check out one of the daily shows featuring local wildlife. 5 ) Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall – Sitting on sparkling Sarasota Bay, The Van Wezel is known by locals as the premiere location to catch a good play or concert in the area. Built in 1970 and recently renovated in 2000, has been serving the community for a long time. As a child growing up in the greater Tampa Bay Area, every school I attended would come to a show put on specifically for children that was always a blast. Shows include performances ranging from nationally acclaimed stand up comedians, to lesser known dance troupes, and of course musical acts from all walks of life. The Van Wezel is about a half an hour drive from Anna Maria Island and is always 100% worth it. 6 ) is the equivalent to any car fanatics dream! It is the second oldest continuously operating antique car museum in the Nation. With a beautiful, and very wide variety of antique care, including a car that was John Lennons, this is a great place to take the entire family to admire the fine craftsmen ship of the vehicles that have gone down in history. Punta Gorda hosts another. 7 ) – While Anna Maria Island certainly has some of the most in the country, they are simply surpassed by the beach at Siesta Key, and that’s saying something! When you’re taking your trip to St. Armand’s, make sure you stop off here and soak up some sun. This is the highest rated beach in the entire United States of America. 8 ) – Easily my favorite in the greater Sarasota/Bradenton area, Yoder’s is simply the best place in Sarasota to enjoy a good meal. Featured on a few different national television shows, the restaurant’s home-cooked style meals never disappoint. I usually keep it simple with my order; succulent turkey breast, mashed potatos, corn on the cob, and fried okra. At that point, I’m always far too stuffed for desert; so I take home one of their famous peanut butter cream pies. Myakka River Canopy Walk 9 ) Myakka River State Park – I’ve always found to be one of the best places to get a true taste of what little bit of “wild” Florida is left. Located in eastern Sarasota County, I’ve spent days at a time experiencing all the amazing activites the state park provides us. Your options are endless; there’s hiking, biking, fishing, and even a “canopy walk” where you walk between giant trees on rope bridges. My personal favorite: the air boat tour. You and a few friends jump on an airboat and the driver whips you around the marshes, while giving a verbal tour detailing the history, wildlife, and vegetation in and around Myakka River. 10 ) – This giant mansion overlooking is an absolutely gorgeous place to visit. Built in 1929 by Powel Crosley for his wife, the estate now serves as a venue that you can rent for weddings, family reunions, etc. That, however, isn’t even the fun part! When it isn’t being rented out, the estate decorates the mansion and puts on intimate, interactive “plays” where actors read poetry, or re-enact scenes from classical literature. I’ve personally attended multiple Edgar Allen Poe readings, A Charles Dickens Christmas, and a reimagining of Shakespeare that was a blast. Posted on Author Categories Tags,,,,,.

Drum Circle Distilling was born as a product of too many rum drinks consumed while the sun was setting over the Gulf of Mexico. We will never know whether it was too much sun, the lovely sandy beaches, or some really good rum, but the idea for an artisanal rum distillery was born, and it resulted in the purchase of a custom designed still. The still was small but beautiful with shiny copper parts that are known for making rum so smooth. The great still, local sugar cane, and natural spices resulted in the Siesta Key, a very fine rum that earns stellar reviews even in magazines from the Caribbean.

Apparently, this unique 600-acre park with its 400-acre lake has been declared as one of the few facilities in North America with all necessary natural attributes for a first class rowing facility. As a result, the park started having regular regatta competitions, and it acquired a range of facilities necessary for this sport: racing lanes, coaching lanes, straight shorelines, wave attenuation, a boathouse, a training center, start and finish huts and towers, grand stands for spectators, and a modern boat maintenance facility.
