La megaloencefalia es un trastorno en el que existe un cerebro anormalmente grande, pesado y con mal funcionamiento. No debe confundirse con la macrocefalia, que es un crecimiento anormal de la cabeza, pero no necesariamente del cerebro. Por definición, el peso del cerebro es mayor que el promedio correspondiente a la edad y el sexo del bebé o del niño. El crecimiento de la cabeza puede hacerse evidente en el nacimiento o la cabeza puede llegar a ser anormalmente grande en los primeros años de vida. El crecimiento de la cabeza puede hacerse evidente en el nacimiento o la cabeza puede llegar a ser anormalmente grande en los primeros años de vida.

Se cree que la megaloencefalia está relacionada con un problema en la regulación de la reproducción o proliferación de las células. En un desarrollo normal, la proliferación de las neuronas - el proceso en el cual las células nerviosas se dividen para formar nuevas generaciones de células - se regula para generar el número correcto de células en el lugar apropiado y en el tiempo justo.

Los síntomas de megaloencefalia pueden incluir retrasos en el desarrollo , trastornos convulsivos, disfunciones córticoespinales (de la corteza del cerebro y la médula espinal) y convulsiones. La megaloencefalia afecta a los varones más a menudo que a las niñas.

El pronóstico para los individuos con megaloencefalia depende en gran parte de las causas subyacentes y de trastornos neurológicos relacionados. El tratamiento es sintomático. La megaloencefalia puede conducir a una enfermedad llamada macrocefalia.

La megaloencefalia unilateral o hemimegaloencefalia es una malformación poco común caracterizada por el crecimiento anormal de un hemisferio del cerebro. Los niños con este trastorno pueden tener una cabeza grande, a veces asimétrica. Sufren a menudo de convulsiones intratables y de retraso mental. El pronóstico para los pacientes con hemimegaloencefalia es grave.

Dr. Peter H. Schafer
An executive director at Celgene
Peter Schafer is an executive director at Celgene, who leads the Translational Medicine Research group in Summit and Cambridge, MA, USA. Dr Schafer is also currently a guest lecturer at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ. He gained his BSc in Biological Chemistry from the University of Chicago, IL, USA, and obtained his PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, before conducting postdoctoral research at The R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
Dr Schafer's research is focussed on inflammation and immunology, including preclinical and clinical development of products for the treatment of rheumatological, dermatological, gastrointestinal and fibrotic diseases. Upon joining Celgene as a scientist in 1999, and later in his role as Director of Biology for Drug Discovery, he was part of the team responsible for bringing the phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor apremilast (Otezla) into clinical development, and has contributed to its global regulatory approvals for psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. Dr Schafer also conducted basic research unravelling the mechanism of action of the cereblon-targeting compounds lenalidomide (Revlimid) and pomalidomide (Pomalyst) in haematology and oncology, and contributed to their global regulatory approvals. His team identified Aiolos and Ikaros as key cereblon substrates, which are now known to be lupus risk genes, leading to the CC-220 systemic lupus erythematosus clinical development programme.


Following a recent experience with a post-fire incident, I stumbled across a fascinating subject that will be coming to a theater (town hall) new you within months. What began as a research on home fire safety, quickly evolved into a fairly deep look into the subject of residential fire sprinklers. All man-made structures today are typically governed by building codes, architectural design, engineering standards, and other locally adopted practices that have been promulgated since the beginning of time.... The most prevelant of these institutions is the International Code Congress (ICC), an institution which is comprised of voting members with building and safety background from all over the country. The ICC produces a set of codes; namely, the International Residential Code (IRC), which specifies minimal building requirements for our new homes and remodeling projects. The IRC has recently denied an appeal by the Home Builder's Association in it's attempt to block the passage of the ICC's 2009 IRC provision which requires all new residential dwellings to install and maintain fire sprinkler systems. The current 2006 IRC has a provision for fire sprinkler systems in it's Appendix, and has been locally adopted by several municipalities throughout the country.
Cost effective safety upgrade (approximately 1.5% of total cost of construction).
Low profile of sprinkler heads are unobtrusvie.
Stimulate economy by creating jobs.
Widespread consensus on the implementation of the provision.
Too costly on homebuilders and homeowners.
Mandatory installation infringes upon individual rights.
Other means of construction increase home fire safety.
Unfair special interest interaction in the implematation of the provision.
What will the possible local impact be if the City of Mountain Brook, or other Greater Birmingham Area Municipalities, adopt the 2009 IRC in it's entirety? First of all, even if the new code was adopted, it wouldn't take affect until sometime in 2011. If the code is accepted, the Fire Marshals (fire departments) will, for the first time in modern history have a "pre-fire" interest in new homes. Currently, Fire Marshals have oversight in commercial settings. Some of their recurring commercial inspections include ingress/egress standards, emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and fire sprinkler systems. In the short-term, the Fire Marshals will have to inspect the installation, and possibly return for periodic inspections, of the installed systems. As an aside, there is technology currently available that can detect a leaking sprinkler head and alarm local officials; however, the statistical rate of 1 in 16 million accident discharges makes you more likely to hit the lottery than come back from the beach and find your sofa floating around in your living room. Another short-term effect is that most plumbers aren't certified to install fire suppression sytems, so the installations will be handled by the few fire suppression specialists in the area. Their will undoubtedly be a surge in this industry. From what I have picked up on by talking with local personalites and internet research, building inpectors could become trained and credentialed to take the load off of the Fire Marshals, and that the fire suppression industry would make similar adjustments to handle the increased business.
In closing, I find myself supporting the belief that there is a fine line between home safety and governmental reach. There's no doubt that such legislation means big bucks for the sprinkler and fire safety industry, local governments adopting the measure will have to adjust their inspection procedures, budget, and revenues, costs of construction will increase, the insurance industry will play their role (some have reportedly given credits for the sprinkler use)...kind of a stimulus package of it's own... and perhaps, the overall safety of new homes will increase; however, the most insidious aspect of this whole issue is that there are outside forces that are systematically stripping away the automony of property owner's. The life and safety claim is seemingly an irristable "trump card", and the story will be interesting to see unfold.... A couple of jurisdictions have already passed legislation that nullifies the mandatory installation of sprinkler systems from the 2009 IRC, as they embrace the rest of it, others will openly accept it, and the rest will simply not adopt the entire code book.
Please visit the numerous websites that support or oppose the 2009 IRC fire sprinkler issue. It's a very fascinating subject and I believe it has deeper, more constitutional issues than many of the authors fully grasp.

Tatiana Alekséyevna Afanásieva —en ruso, Татья́на Алексе́евна Афана́сьева— (Kiev, 19 de noviembre de 1876-Leiden, 14 de abril de 1964), también conocida como Tatiana Ehrenfest-Afanaseva, fue una matemática y física ruso-neerlandesa que realizó contribuciones al campo de la mecánica estadística y la termodinámica estadística. El 21 de diciembre de 1904, se casó con el físico austriaco Paul Ehrenfest (1880-1933). Tuvieron dos hijas y dos hijos, de los cuales una hija, Tatyana Pavlovna Ehrenfest, también fue matemática.

Primeros años

Afanásieva nació en Kiev, Ucrania, entonces parte del Imperio ruso. Su padre era Aleksánder Afanásiev, un ingeniero jefe del ferrocarril imperial, que llevaría a Tatiana a sus viajes alrededor del Imperio Ruso. Su padre murió cuando aún era niña, así que se trasladó a San Petersburgo, en Rusia, para vivir con su tía Sonia y su tío Píter Afanásiev, profesor del Universidad Politécnica de San Petersburgo.

Tatiana asistió a la escuela normal en San Petersburgo con especialidad en matemáticas y ciencia. En aquel tiempo, a las mujeres no se les permitía asistir a las universidades en territorio ruso, así que tras graduarse de la escuela normal, Tatiana empezó a estudiar matemáticas y física en la Universidad de Mujeres de San Petersburgo bajo la dirección de Orest Jvolson. En 1902, pasó a la Universidad de Gotinga en Alemania, donde continuó sus estudios con Felix Klein y David Hilbert.

En la Universidad de Gotinga, Tatiana conoció a Paul Ehrenfest. Cuando Ehrenfest descubrió que Tatiana no podía asistir a una reunión del club de matemáticas, discutió con la escuela para que se cambiara la norma. Se desarrolló una amistad entre los dos, se casaron en 1904 y volvieron a San Petersburgo en 1907. Bajo la ley rusa, no se permitía el matrimonio entre dos personas de diferentes religiones. Como Afanásieva era ortodoxa y Ehrenfest era judío, ambos decidieron renunciar oficialmente a sus religiones para permanecer casados.

En 1912 se trasladaron a Leiden en los Países Bajos, donde Ehrenfest fue elegido para suceder a Hendrik Antoon Lorentz como profesor en la Universidad de Leiden, y donde la pareja vivió durante su carrera.

Trabajo en matemáticas

Afanásieva colaboró de forma cercana con su marido, remarcablemente en la revisión clásica de la mecánica estadística de Boltzmann. Los fundamentos conceptuales de la aproximación estadística en mecánica, de Paul y Tatiana Ehrenfest, fue publicado originalmente para la Enciclopedia de ciencias matemáticas alemana y desde entonces ha sido ampliamente traducido y republicado.

Publicó muchos artículos en varios temas como aleatoriedad y entropía, y enseñó geometría a niños.

A CHILLY start in the south, developing a fine day with some sunny spells, although it will be a cloudier day than Monday.
Cloudy in the northwest with showery rain spreading across the region.
Tuesday looking sunny in the south, but more cloud than on previous days. Cloudy in the north west with the chance of showery rain.
Moving toward the weekend, largely dry and often fairly cloudy, but with some sunshine, particularly towards the south and east. Occasionally wetter and breezier far northwest. Warming up, especially in sheltered eastern areas.
There will probably be a good deal of dry and sunny weather on Sunday after a chilly start in most places. Becoming gradually more changeable into next week, with either a band of rain continuing to move southeast.
Some warm spells in the south at first, otherwise temperatures are likely to be around normal, with some colder interludes possible, particularly in the north.
Later in the week will see changeable conditions as spells of wet and windy weather move south eastwards across the UK.
The most unsettled conditions are likely to be in the northwest, with more settled weather across southeastern areas. Temperatures should be near average for most.
Some wetter interludes are still possible, particularly in the northwest. It could well turn warm at times, particularly in the south.

Have land.... Will we choose a log home?
So we are here in Southern IL, and trying to decide if we want to take the plunge on a log home. My wife and I both agree we want a rustic home (which is half the battle as far as I'm concerned) but can we really afford the log home we want?
We have found this home at Satterwhite log homes...http://www.satterwhite-log-homes.com/g4/pages/plans/misty_ridge.html and love the design. From what I have learned, to buy this package from Satterwhite, have them shell it, and find a builder locally to finish I am looking at north of $400k and thats not including finishing the basement. This is just my rough figure as I have not talked to a builder, but we have built 2 homes so we know a little about whats involved. However, we have only delt with stick built homes, so I can imagine interior wood finishing can get rather costly. We hate sheetrock!
I would like to get some opinions on this style of home and if I am better off as far as price is concerned to find a builder locally and have them get the materials locally or use a company like Satterwhite. I have read on here buying a kit is more expensive, but is it really when you figure in all the experience and materials you are getting?
There are so many options. I've heard good things about Satterwhite and they have some beautiful designs. They would be a good choice in a traditional kit-built log home.
First, I'd reiterate what others have said--if you find a design you like, you can shop it around and see which company/system best suits you. We went through this and last year decided to build a Timber Block home in southwest Wisconsin. Their package consists of the wall system, subfloor and roof components, windows, exterior doors, loft components, and interior framing materials. This type of approach afforded us a fair degree of predictability, as far as final cost. Once we knew the Timber Block package cost and had our architectural drawings, we shopped around for a fixed quote from a number of builders. We ended up very close to our initial cost estimate.
Initial cost was important, but we we equally focused on energy efficiency and long-term maintenance expenses, an important factor since we will ultimately locate to our Timber Block home full-time in our retirement years (so far it has proven to be amazingly energy efficient).
You can see from the attached photo of our home that its somewhat similar in design--a prow front with a wall of windows and an open living room/dining room space. The disadvantage of this type of design is that, while beautiful, they can eat a lot of energy. The open living spaces make it a little difficult to achieve and maintain comfortable temperatures if your basic structure is not highly energy efficient, much of the reason we opted for a Timber Block home.
Oh, I do have a fairly basic website, too: www.timberblockwisconsin.com. The are some photos there, and a bit of info about our project. Let me know if I can help; having recently gone through this process, I have looked at all the potential options and might be able to help you focus your search for the right solution. If its not a Timber Block, that's fine with me...I like to help people figure this out and know that there's no one size fits all answer.
I'll try that photo upload of our place again!
You have land, and are thinking of a log home, now the dealers come out of the wood work!!! When I purchased my home back in the 80's, I bought logs, doors and windows, porch rafters, flooring. Sub floor material, (plywood) roof trusses, T&G wood, basement stairs, 2X4's , and other products I purchased locally. When you buy a full package, the items you can get locally, get put on a truck, lets say for a example: You live in Ohio, your package is coming from TN, you buy a complete log package, Now it takes a extra truck,(cause you need a extra truck for all the stuff you could buy locally) to be shipped from TN, as well as your logs, and large timbers, which means extra shipping costs. The dealers that tells you to buy as much as you can from one place, is making a commission on what is coming on those trucks, so naturally they want you to buy everything from their manufacturer, and with the price of fuel, I would hate to pay for shipping for that extra truck. Locally, if you purchase items, most lumber companies will ship for free, or if they would charge anything it would be minimal. Just trying to be helpful!
You do have to look at the whole package, including what's part of the basic package and the cost of options. I'm sure this varies from company to company, but in the case of Timber Block, they source the more generic components locally. For instance, our subfloor system, roof trusses, shingles, etc. came from a nearby building supply company. In a competitive market, it makes sense for the log home company to source and price its components competitively.
However, it is good to compare the costs locally and from the log cabin company. We didn't opt for wood flooring (dogs!), but, as an example, Timber Block's price for pine flooring is unbelievably cheap, primarily because they're near the source and buy in large quantities. This sort of thing varies from company to company, but sometimes you'll find that buying components from them makes lots of sense...economies of scale. We also found this to be true when our builder was sourcing lumber for our walkout level facade...they could not do better than the cost from Timber Block, and they own a lumber company! So, the lesson is to comparison shop if it's a pricey component.
Incidentally, not all companies work on the commission schedule that Mary suggests...so, it's a misconception that the dealer always wins by "optioning you up." Some pay a flat commission to their dealers to avoid that very problem.
Hey Mary,There are two things that are important when you are buying a log home,price and species. Service is what sets these companies apart. The Dealer/Builder is qualified to represent a reputable company that has been manufacturing log homes for years. If you can buy a log home for the price you can afford and you get a builder,technical support,and a warranty,and supervised deliveries from one source,who cares what a person is paid?
Hey Mary, It's obvious that it has been quite some time since you have dealt with a reputable log home company. Katahdin Cedar Log Homes delivers their logs.beams,decks,and porches while local suppliers deliver framing,windows and doors as needed saving considerable costs. For forty years they have developed their products and technology to provide clients with fine cedar products at affordable prices while being one of the greenest companies on the planet.They have established a Dealer/Builder network that is dedicated to the company and the client and they have a state of the art manufacturing facility that produces the best product on the market.
Katahdin is a great company, I have been there, and they have a top notch operation! My only concern, is that no matter what home is purchased, why pay shipping for 2X4's, OSB, shingles, plywood, trusses, conventional material, that can be purchased, anywhere??? Katahdin is in Maine, so if buying conventional materials may add a extra truck, and this is all going to lets say, Montana, that could add up. If I were looking for a log home today, Katahdin would be who I would go with. The company has stability in this uncertain market.
I'd add just a couple thoughts to James' note, which seems right on target. In the case of Timber Block, they also use a hybrid fulfillment/delivery system, probably dictated by the same concerns that motivate Katahdin to use this approach. The walls, which are produced using proprietary technology, and certain other components that can be sourced efficiently near the factory are shipped directly, and other components that can be sourced more effectively nearby are shipped directly from other suppliers in staged deliveries that coincide with various points in the building process.
As an example, roof trusses will be produced and sourced locally to factory specifications since shipping a product like this--produced by numerous companies in every region--simply doesn't make economic sense. However, I would reiterate my point above that it's often worth comparing the costs of milled products from the factory versus from a local supplier; the factory's proximity to wood sources and the favorable prices they can obtain as the result of the amount of product they purchase sometimes makes it less expensive for the homeowner to purchase those items from the factory.
Good point! I am just pointing out how I bought my home, and I saved some money, by purchasing some items locally, on my own. I only had to pay shipping for one truck, from the log home manufacturer. The local lumber companies didn't charge any type of delivery charge.
I'm a newbie, so I can't speak to everyone's practices, but my personal experience was that sourcing some materials from the factory was cheaper. One example that comes to mind was the car siding that we used for interior walls. It was less expensive from the factory (again, they don't make it, but they buy a bunch of it). It was included on the same one-truck shipment as the wall components, so there was no added shipping cost.
However, I'd also note that the sales representative with whom I dealt also told me up front that I'd be better off to buy locally some items that could be purchased from the factory. He seemed to operate on the principle that his and the company's interests were best served by doing their best by the customer, and he appeared to have the company's support in doing so.
We tend to focus on the bad apples, but there are a lot of companies out there that operate in a highly principled fashion such as this. Personally, I've always tried to buy from businesses who treat customers the way they'd want their own family treated. Don't you wish everyone acted that way?
