Thousands of different Escherichia coli types exists as part of the natural intestine workings, and of those some can cause infections, severe infections and death. This section of Curas Infection Prevention resource pages will only discuss the E. coli types that are in the intestine system causing problems, however, highlighting the severity of infections caused outside the intestine e.g. ExPEC (Extra intestinal pathogen E. coli).
Of those E. coli types causing outbreaks, serious illness and death across high-density modern healthcare facilities are pathogenic E. coli strains which are categorized into patho-types. Six patho-types are associated with diarrhea and collectively are referred to as diarrheagenic E. coli:
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) (Note: STEC may also be referred to as Verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC) or enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC).
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC)
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC)
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC)
Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC)
Diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC)
As patients in hospitals are all using the toiletries / human waste facilities during the time care is being provided; Curas advocates for a default selection of disposable products (e.g. Bed Pans and Urinals) as a first logical step to physically end the spread-risk/-path via the reusable utensils.
STEC (Shiga):
As E. coli is a generically used label for a wide range of topics, Curas wish to highlight specifically the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli: The bacteria that make these toxins are called "Shiga toxin-producing" E. coli, or STEC for short, and the bacteria called verocytotoxic E. coli (VTEC) or enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) all refer generally to the same group of bacteria.
The strain of Shiga O104:H4 that caused a large outbreak in Europe in 2011 was frequently referred to as EHEC. Mainly STEC in North America is E. coli O157:H7 (often just "O157"). Compared with STEC O157 infections, identification of non-O157 STEC infections is more complex. First, clinical laboratories must test stool samples for the presence of Shiga toxins. Then, the positive samples must be sent to public health laboratories to look for non-O157 STEC. Clinical laboratories typically cannot identify non-O157 STEC. Some types of STEC cause severe disease, including bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which is a type of kidney failure.
"Although food-borne transmission is a primary cause of outbreaks of VTEC in nursing homes, in institutions for people with intellectual disabilities, in acute hospital facilities; person-to-person spread by the faecal-oral route also occurs and is a particular risk factor in these settings. Transmission to staff from residents in a nursing home and from a patient to a nurse have been reported and the converse can also happen."
"Spread of infection is more likely during the diarrhoea phase when faeces contain higher numbers of bacteria. Staff can become contaminated as a result of contact with a patient/resident or following contact with the contaminated environment. Staff assisting or reassuring patients/residents who are vomiting or have diarrhoea are at increased risk of becoming infected"
"Alternatively, disposable bedpans may be used and disposed of in a bedpan macerator. Supports for disposable bedpans are reusable and should be washed with general purpose detergent and water, then wiped with a chlorine based disinfectant (e.g. 0.1% hypochlorite solution (1,000ppm available chlorine), and dried after each use. An individual support is recommended for each patient." Source: http://www.hpsc.ie
Note: Curas offers a complete Infection Prevention product solution for E. coli outbreaks, major elements are: Examination Gloves, Aprons, Shoe Cover, Disposable Bed Pans and Urine Bottles, SAP by Curas™ fluid absorber, disposable Wash Gloves & Wipes, Dissolvable Laundry Bags and further.
HUS:
Around 5–10% CDC of those who are diagnosed with STEC infection develop a potentially life-threatening complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Persons with HUS risk their kidneys stop working and they may develop other serious problems. Most persons with HUS recover within a few weeks, but some suffer permanent damage or die.
It is worth reminding our readers of these pages that most infections are not route-caused (initiated) by hospitalization itself, in the case of E. coli most often food or dirty water are causing the initial illness leading to hospitalization; but once the infectious person is hospitalized the risk of nosocomial cross contamination increases and potentially expose the wider population of the hospital or nursing home, mainly due to the patients' human waste handling and associate nursing processes.

Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883) var det fra 1843 selvvalgte navn på en amerikansk abolitionist som blev født til slaveri fra Hurley, New York. (Hendes oprindelige navn var Isabella Baumfree, men nogle kilder angiver hendes navn som Isabella Van Wagener.)

Under den Amerikanske borgerkrig organiserede hun indsamling af forsyninger til nordstaterne og flyttede til Washington, D.C., efter at slaverne blev frigivet med Emancipation Proclamation for at arbejde med tidligere slaver. Hun mødte bl.a. præsident Abraham Lincoln.

I 1997 blev NASAs Mars Pathfinder missionens robotbil navngivet "Sojourner" efter Sojourner Truthe.

New report says the number of renters to increase in Australia
A new report, Australian home ownership: past reflections, future directions, produced by researchers from Swinburne University of Technology looks at the levels of homeownership in Australia since World War II and what we can expect in the future. Owning a property, for many Australians, is still one of the key things they want to accomplish in their life. It's still the great Australian dream, but for some, in the decades to come it could remain a dream as up to 40 per cent of Australians could rent in the future, according to the report.
The expected increase of renters in Australia in the coming years is expected to be driven by several factors, including ongoing affordability challenges. Interestingly, the report found that homeownership levels in Australia have been relatively stable. In 1976, approximately 68 per cent of people were owner-occupiers, and in 2016, around 67 per cent of Australians were owner-occupiers.
According to the report, approximately 50 per cent of Australian households under 60 years old will rent from private landlords over the next 20 years. At the same time, owner-occupiers are expected to decrease to 63 per cent. Of those people who will be renting, it's expected that 51 per cent of these people will be in the 25 to 55-year-old age bracket.
So, what does that mean for property investing?
While the report is interesting, it's important to remember that these numbers are all forecasts. In any case, the changing proportion of owner-occupiers and renters will likely happen steadily as it has over the last four decades.
Keeping these changing demographics in mind and balancing this with your priorities as a property investor is key as you look forward over the coming years. The fundamentals in the property market are unlikely to change. People want to live close to amenity, decent infrastructure and close to employment opportunities. If you can find properties that tick these boxes, while structuring your investments in a way that helps you meet your long-term goals, you'll be well on your way to building a strong portfolio for yourself.
The important thing for investors right now, and all the time, is to regularly check-in and ensure your portfolio is working towards meeting your long-term goals. And if it's not, that's ok. It's a timely note to shift things around to make sure you're building sustainable, long-term wealth.

I have named this the Moss Garden Shawl knitted up. This is the first skein and I have already knitted the second one, but not photographed it yet. It is gorgeous and I am really happy with it.
This is the second necklace and I designed a freeform yarn around it that I will be listing in my eshop - as soon as it is photographed.
Mounds, my white Rambouillet, has developed toxemia. I was watching her every meal time and feeding grain by hand, so I knew when she decided to quit eating. I had decided that I would be calling the vet, if she did. Time to learn a different way to treat ketosis. This time the vet suggested using an IV to treat her. It is sure a lot easier than trying to force feed the glucose and grain, since I have been bit several times. The veterinarian set up a vein IV, but I ended up having to use it subcutaneously, because the vein no longer worked in the evening - even after using the a special shot to keep her vein clear. She was also given a shot to trigger delivery and to help the babies lungs develop. She would have delivered by now, if that shot had worked. Her body functions are still working and she is still getting up and down, so the IV seems to be working. I am supplementing the other glucose and a power punch drench for animals that refuse to eat. She actually ate some last night, so I am not despairing yet.
My question is - why should calling a veterinarian be so expensive? It was $135 for the visit, $50 for the exam and then more for the fluids. So far, I have spent $450 and I might not have anything to show for it besides gaining new knowledge and the satisfaction of knowing that I tried. Depressing, since it is now hot in Tucson and business has slowed.

If I now reach 25k xp there is no more reward, is that correct WG ?
You are getting x2 on all tanks you play? Every game, not just the daily.
you get completion bonus x 2xp Bonus on every battle. play before february.
What these guys said. I know WG don't like to mention other games but this is an example.
Call of Duty when Double XP Weekends are Live, You get TWICE the Experience every battle you play. I'm not sure if WG has ever done this before but it's something i've been after for a long time. Rather than X3 or X5 which is nice but only counts on First Win, i'd love X2 for Every Battle some Weekends like COD does. And now thanks to this Op, it is a reality, Earlier you finish the Op, the more Double XP you have until Feb 1st. I assume it will stack with XP Boosts, Premium Time and Daily Doubles so can use it to go up Tech Trees faster which is amazing as it's not just for the Weekend.
Yes, I get 2x, thats not the point.
But why the making a point op is still on ?
Gold Ops can't be removed or unchecked, however it has no benefit once you complete the Op. Have to pretend it isn't there.
Nice and yeah grats to OP, that's like 75 points a day or something. I'm on around 300 points on Main, Only on Day Two on Alt but will unlock the SU-100 shortly.
Disregard this. Won't let me cancel out.
I see two options here, but knowing WOT there is another one that is not apparent.
1. As MASHMAN 90 noted, "Making a Point' is of no value till the next phase.
2. The one I prefer. This is the first phase of a three phase campaign and the points you earn now carry over into the next phase, thus you have to do less work in the next phase. By extension, the points from the second phase would carry over into the third phase. Thus, when you earn all of the points to complete all stages of all phases will the points then be irrelevant. However the extra points could carry over from one campaign to the next but I seriously doubt that will happen. We really won't know the answer to this unless WOT makes a posting before the end of the phase, or we find out by default on the first day of the second phase.
You guys are nuts, I thought I was getting through them quickly but I'm only on the 19th stage. How many hours a day are you playing?
I typically get in 3-4 hours most evenings, sometimes a bit less. Left off last night about 6 points from finishing stage 27 so the end is very near.
Did you do the Absolution op? Exactly the same.
That op was 7 weeks long. I cleared it in around 2 to 3 weeks then got to watch many hundreds more points disappear into the void.
It was made worse by the final stage op encouraging you to keep grinding points to earn more rewards, totally false.
Add another nut to the bowl. 500 points.
Finished a few hours ago , and enjoying the x 2 Xp added together with my x3 Xp boosts the AMX M4 51 coming along nicely.
Just noticed the participation medal isn't showing in stats page, prob will add it in next page update.
Yeah, finished early. I thought I would be stuck on about 496 after today....and would not be able to finish until I got back from vacation. But I must have picked up just enough first win bonus points to finish today.

XYZ OUTLET #23: Nicolas Vass // Re-constructing Hasil: a performance by The Hasil Adkins Traditional Ensemble // Tuesday 6 December // 20:00 - 21:00
XYZ Outlet continues, "DRY: No drinks, no party, just an art quickie". On Tuesday 6 December we are presenting, in conjunction with the 3rd Athens Biennale 2011 MONODROME, Nicolas Vass' work Re-constructing Hasil: a performance by The Hasil Adkins Traditional Ensemble.
About Re-constructing Hasil: a performance by The Hasil Adkins Traditional Ensemble.
Re-constructing Hasil is a tribute to Hasil Adkins (193? – 2005), a one man band who began performing in the Southern USA in the 1950s. Born in West Virginia during the Great Depression, Adkins' performance style, where all instruments and vocals are played by him alone, is based on a mistake he made as a young boy when he thought that the music he heard on the radio was performed by a lone musician. The motif of people traveling across the U.S. carrying their very few worldly possessions on their back, characteristic of the Depression period as narrated in books like Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, recurs in Adkins' self-schooled, self-made and self-reliant form of musical performance. Arms, legs, vocal melodies, harmonies, beats, guitar riffs and harmonica croons emerge energetically from the performance of a single man.

About DE HOMINIS APPARATUS
The structure of the performance DE HOMINIS APPARATUS, by the group of the Architecture School of the University of Thessaly, is a type of a labyrinth with no 'outside', where each person's narratives and research start from a different concept each time (such as Dispositif, Eco-nomy, Biopolitics, Sovereignty, Desecration, Law, Body, Knowledge, Desire,Fear, Dignity, Subject, Object, Thing, Disaster etc, concepts described by Giorgio Agamben) , to be led back into the same centre, the Apparatus. During the performance a type of an archive will be compiled from online resources and a printer will become the "nightmare of documentation".

Money can take away some of the worry of "what if"s, that can be a huge drain on the potential for joy. What if I need to replace my roof? What if I break a leg and can't work? What if I get sick? What if my car breaks down? A little money socked away can be extremely reassuring.
I would have so much fun finishing my house, if money were no object. Never settling, I'd expect the very best materials and workmanship. I would love to insist that every single electrical outlet be replaced, so that they are all straight, and all matching white. Walls would be smoothed and covered with fresh paint. Floors would be finished. I'd have nice woodwork around every closet, window and door. I wouldn't worry about what needs to be done first, or what might fall apart next, because it would ALL be done! Meantime, whenever I have the means to finish a project, no matter how small, I am happy about it.
With enough money, I could do more for the people I care about. When I was making good tips as a waitress, before I had a mortgage on my house, I often found myself with enough disposable income for occasional bouts of unrestrained spending. One Christmas, I bought each of my daughters a sewing machine. After so many Christmases when every gift had to be tightly budgeted, that felt like a huge extravagance, and it brought me unquestionable joy. I've enjoyed rare shopping trips when money was no object. When I make lists (which I do, more often than I like to admit) of how I'd spend a million dollars, if it were to drop into my lap, first on the list are the things I'd buy or do for others. How exciting to plan a trip with my daughters and their families, to treat my sisters to a luxury vacation, to take Chris on a shopping spree, to make sure there are college funds for any of my grandchildren that want to pursue higher education, and to see that Madeline gets to Paris. I'd love to provide comfort and even a touch of wild excess to those friends and family members who have known, as I do, the grind of living paycheck to paycheck, without anything to fall back on if those earnings were stopped. In the meantime, I take pleasure in doing what I can, with the funds that I have. A few times, I've been able to treat others who are important to me (and who have often been generous to me), to a meal or a special gift, and that makes me happy, too.
Money CAN buy certain happiness. You have that right. The sewing machine story is lovely. I have no doubt you would share with others from your deepest heart. I am thinking about how they say that money can't buy happiness. For me that means that money can't buy our own innate sense of connection to the holy, self worth, simple being. Maybe you already wrote about this on another blog. Thanks for making me think this afternoon!
Yes, we have to decide to be happy…some people never seem to, others appear to have made a conscious decision to be UNhappy…but once that decision is made, money can certainly sweeten the day-to-day! Thanks for reading, Kathy, and for your always thoughtful comments!

Українська асоціація досліджень жіночої історії (УАДЖІ) — недержавна неприбуткова громадська організація, добровільне об'єднанняя фахових історикинь (істориків), котрі значну частину своїх наукових інтересів та освітньої діяльності зосереджують на дослідженні та/або викладанні жіночої та гендерної історії.

Історія

Будучи національним осередком  (IFRWH), заснованої у 1987 році, УАДЖІ поділяє головну мету Федерації "заохочувати та координувати дослідження всіх аспектів жіночої історії на міжнародному рівні", та репрезентує інтереси й наукові доробки українських дослідниць на міжнародній арені. В партнерстві з такими організаціями, як Українська асоціація усної історії, Міжнародна асоціація гуманітаріїв , Львівський науково-дослідний центр "Жінка і суспільство", ВГО "Жінки в науці", Музей жіночої та гендерної історії, російський філіал  IFRWH, УАДЖІ забезпечує сприяння розвитку досліджень жіночої та гендерної історії в Україні.

Заснована восени 2010-го групою науковиць, чия дослідницька та викладацька діяльність тісно пов'язана із сферою жіночої та гендерної історії, асоціація функціонує понині і базується у Львові. Правління асоціації: президент Оксана Кісь, віце-президент — Ольга Лабур, вчена секретарка — Катерина Кобченко.

Діяльність
Загальна мета діяльності УАДЖІ — підтримка, сприяння розвитку досліджень у сфері жіночої та гендерної історії в Україні, а також їхня систематизація та координація.

Конкретними пунктами асоціація визначає прагнення інтегрувати гендерний підхід у науково-освітній процес, досягти дотримання принципу гендерної рівності у суспільних практиках та підвищити теоретико-методологічний рівень дослідницької та викладацької роботи. УАДЖІ покликана створювати осередки вивчення й дослідження жіночої і гендерної історії в науково-освітніх установах, підтримувати індивідуальні та колективні науково-освітні проекти та розробляти науково-методичну літературу.

Головними завданнями асоціації є:

 організація наукових досліджень з жіночої та гендерної історії,
 опрацювання та введення освітніх проектів,
 інституціоналізація жіночої та гендерної історії у вищій школі та академічній науці,
 налагодження співпраці з українськими та закордонними інститутами та організаціями,
 ліквідація явища академічної недоброчесності (такої, як плагіат),
 поширення наукового доробку як дослідниць(-ків), що входять в УАДЖІ, так і інших вчених у галузі гендерної та жіночої історії.

Основні напрямки роботи УАДЖІ:

 формування інформаційних банків даних,
 фахова експертиза наукових праць, науково-методичних розробок, освітніх програм тощо,
 асистування та консультація науково-дослідних установ, громадських організацій, ЗМІ та дослідниць(-ків) індивідуально,
 організація науково-освітніх заходів: конференції, семінари, літні школи,
поширення наукового доробку у сфері жіночої та гендерної історії шляхом відкритих лекцій, презентацій, виставок, виступів у медіа.
інформаційна та науково-методична підтримка членкинь УАДЖІ.

УАДЖІ проводить постійний моніторинг стану досліджень в галузі жіночої та гендерної історії та викладання цих тем в Україні. Засновниця УАДЖІ Оксана Кісь у інтерв'ю з Тамарою Марценюк зазначила:"...дослідження досить глибокі, ґрунтовні, це не поверхові перекази чужих ідей, а авторські оригінальні розвідки на цілком нових історичних джерелах, зі свіжим поглядом на, здавалося б, знайомі теми. Ці роботи збудовано не на якихось ура-патріотичних пафосних гаслах чи певному міфологізованому уявленні про минуле українського жіноцтва, а на реальних історичних документах, на архівах, спогадах жінок, їхньому листуванні, щоденниках".

Онлайн-просвіта
Інтернет-сторінка УАДЖІ  слугує віртуальним майданчиком для згуртування та інформаційної підтримки фахової історичної спільноти, яка усвідомлює необхідність урахування категорії гендеру в історичних студіях та активно застосовує цей підхід у науково-освітній практиці.

Сайт інформмує про діяльність УАДЖІ, актуальні наукові події (конференції, семінари, публічні лекції), можливості для додаткової освіти та наукового розвитку (літні школи, стажування), ресурси для досліджень (проекти, гранти), що стосуються тематики жіночої та гендерної історії.

Рубрика «Електронна бібліотека » містить публікації сучасних досліджень у галузі. Крім конкретно історичних досліджень окремих аспектів минулого українського жіноцтва, представлено дискусійні статті з методології і бібліографії жіночої та гендерної історії в Україні. Матеріали, опубліковані на сайті УАДЖІ, призначені для кіл вчених, викладачів та студентства, які цікавляться жіночою та гендерною історією, проте стануть у нагоді всім небайдужим до гендерної проблематики в історичній ретроспективі.

Після кількамісячної перерви, у липні 2018 року сайт відновив роботу.

Проекти
Серед ініціатив УАДЖІ — інформаційно-просвітницький проект «Війна не робить винятків. Жіночі історії Другої світової», організовний у співпраці з Українським інститутом національної пам'яті та Національним музеєм історії України у Другій світовій війні в травні 2016 року. Виставка освітила історії учасниць Другої світової та тодішні жіночі долі через історії 12 жінок, котрі воювали в підпіллі ОУН, в лавах УПА, в Червоній армії та в Канадському жіночому армійському корпусі. Див. також Жінки в Першій світовій війні.

Структура
Вищим керівним органом асоціації є Загальні збори, що вирішують ключові питання діяльності організації:

 визначають структури організації УАДЖІ;
 приймають, доповнюють та змінюють статут організації;
 визначають основні напрямки діяльності УАДЖІ;
 обирають та переобирають президента(-ку) та склад правління асоціації;
 затверджують звіти ревізійної комісії асоціації;
 приймають рішення про припинення діяльності УАДЖІ.

Частота проведення Загальних зборів не визначена, вони збираються за необхідності, проте не рідше одного разу на 5 років. Загальні збори визнаються дійсними за умови, що не менше половини членкинь (членів) асоціації беруть участь у їхній роботі. Ухвалення рішень проводиться голосування «за» більшою частиною учасниць(-ків) зборів.

Склад та членство

Успадкувавши структуру від материнської організації, , УАДЖІ поділяється на Правління та добровільне членство. Чинним керівним органом є Правління асоціації, яке складається з 7 осіб: президента, Віце-президента, Секретарки та чотирьох членкинь Правління. Склад Правління асоціації обирається на Загальних зборах.

Поточне правління УАДЖІ (на жовтень 2019):

 Оксана Кісь (засновниця, президент асоціації),
 Ольга Лабур (Віце-президент),
 Катерина Кобченко (Вчена секретарка),
 Олена Стяжкіна,
 Оксана Маланчук-Рибак,

The Learned Society jointly wrote with CaSE, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Royal Society, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Biology and other learned societies, to Huw Lewis AM, the Minister for Education and Skills, in response to the draft Welsh government budget 2016-17.
HEFCW has a vital function investing in research in Welsh universities particularly through the Quality-Related (QR) funding stream. This forms one half of the dual-support system and provides essential flexibility and autonomy to higher education institutions. It enables them to explore new avenues of research and pursue excellence in line with their institution's strengths. This supports them to attract top academic talent and greater levels of funding from the UK Research Councils and European Union, as well as to meet the full cost of research, including research in partnership with charities and industry.
As demonstrated in Sir John Cadogan's report for The Learned Society of Wales, blue-skies research underpins later success in applied research and innovation. This brings great economic, social, and health benefits. It also leverages further investment from industry: for each pound invested by the Government in R&D, private sector output rises by 20p each year in perpetuity. We welcome the increase in innovation funding in the draft Budget and believe it should be in concert with greater investment in blue-skies research in universities.
In a statement sent to Research Fortnight, the Learned Society of Wales said that it seemed inevitable that the cuts to HEFCW's budget would significantly affect research. "This in turn is likely to impact gaining EU grants and runs contrary to the recent attempts by the Welsh government to address the long-standing 'STEMM deficiency' in Wales," the society said.

L'église Sainte-Eutrope Sainte-Onenne, surnommée l'Église du Graal, est une église paroissiale située dans la commune de Tréhorenteuc. Il s'agit de la seule église consacrée à une sainte bretonne très locale, sainte Onenne. Elle est toutefois plus connue pour ses éléments et vitraux mêlant les éléments païens de la légende arthurienne aux éléments chrétiens, commandés par l'abbé Gillard entre 1942 et 1962.

Histoire
Onenne est en réalité la patronne secondaire de Tréhorenteuc puisque c'est l'évêque de Saintes, Eutrope, qui serait le premier saint vénéré dans cette paroisse. Malgré la réputation de « pays de mécréants » souvent attachée à cette région reculée de Bretagne, l'église attire de tous temps de fervents paroissiens.

Un édifice religieux chrétien semble avoir existé à Tréhorenteuc dès le , son but est alors de concurrencer un centre druidique. Cet oratoire est tenu par un curé, puis par un ermite venu de Paimpont. La création du prieuré remonte réellement à 1191. Il devient ensuite un centre paroissial.

Il attire l'attention du duché de Bretagne, et notamment d'Anne de Bretagne, dans le cadre de sa mise sous protection spéciale contre les soldats qui s'adonnent aux pillages : le , un mandement est adressé au sénéchal Allaire dans ce sens. Anne de Bretagne fait don d'une bannière représentant Sainte Onenne en 1506. L'édifice paroissial est reconstruit en 1516 par Dom Hamon. Tréhorenteuc figure parmi les premières communes à tenir un registre paroissial, dès 1573, pour notifier les sépultures.

La Révolution française voit la confiscation d'un certain nombre de biens appartenant au prieuré de Tréhorenteuc, dont le presbytère utilisé comme école. De même, le premier maire élu le  fait abattre le calvaire paroissial et expédier les cloches de l'église à la fonderie pour fabriquer des canons, comme le réclame le gouvernement. En 1809, une loi supprime la tenue du culte à Tréhorenteuc pour le rattacher à Néant-sur-Yvel. Les paroissiens protestent, en raison de l'éloignement et de la difficulté à se rendre à Néant en hiver, sur des chemins de terre. Le , la paroisse de Tréhorenteuc est rouverte. Cependant, l'édifice abandonné pendant plus de dix ans tombe en ruines. L'abbé Brogard le restaure en créant un maître-autel, et fait poser un plancher. L'église récupère aussi des cloches. Elle reste néanmoins une « église de campagne », comme le constate Sigismond Ropartz qui la visite en 1861. La commune n'ayant pas les moyens de payer des travaux de restauration, l'état de l'édifice va en se dégradant. L'abbé Alliot, qui arrive en 1930, témoigne du fait qu'il y « risque sa vie », le pignon menaçant de s'écrouler.

En , Henri Gillard est nommé nouveau recteur de la paroisse, le diocèse de Vannes souhaitant vraisemblablement le « mettre au placard » dans le « pot de chambre » du diocèse. Il entreprend de restaurer l'église à ses frais, et au prix de nombreuses privations. Moins qu'un lieu de culte, l'église devient un centre culturel, « faute d'habitants ».

C'est historiquement une petite église de campagne, basse et enduite de terre glaise, peu différente d'une grange. L'église actuelle a été presque entièrement restaurée par Henri Gillard. Le premier vitrail dit « de la Table ronde » a été réalisé et posé en 1943 par le peintre verrier nantais Henri Uzureau. En 1945, l'abbé est aidé par deux prisonniers allemands. L'ébéniste Peter Wissdorf fabrique les bancs et la voûte en coque de bateau. L'artiste peintre Karl Rezabeck réalise quatre tableaux représentant à la fois le monde celte, la légende arthurienne et le christianisme. Dans cette église, les vitraux, les tableaux et la mosaïque du Cert blanc au collier d'or'' créée par l'artiste contemporain Jean Delpech, représentent des éléments de ces trois mondes que l'abbé veut en harmonie. Sur le chemin de croix, l'abbé Gillard fait représenter les maisons du village, ses habitants, le Graal. Il se fait lui-même peindre ainsi que deux prisonniers allemands, démarche originale témoin , les stations étant disposées de nord vers le sud. A cela s'ajoutent, deux petites mosaïques qui représentent une queue de poisson d'une part et un fer à cheval d'autre part représentent en fait des lettres de l'alphabet grecque, A (α) et Ω (ω).

A prostate gland location and stabilization device comprising an elongate cylinder, sized to fit in the anal canal of a user, and having either a narrowing, or a bend (in the range from 20 to 60 degrees) located at or towards the axial mid-region of the cylinder. The cylinder has a heterogeneous internal structure arranged to define landmarks detectable by X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging. Additional features include an essentially flat handle, an internal gas channel and contrast markers. In some variants of the device, the heterogeneous structure comprises air-filled pockets. The invention also provides a method of locating the prostate gland of a patient using the device.
The invention relates to devices to assist a clinician in locating the position of an internal organ of a patient, especially the prostate gland, by use of non-invasive imaging.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer of men in the developed world. Following diagnosis, several treatment options are available; one of these is radiotherapy. During treatment, the tumour must be exposed to radiation to treat the cancerous cells, and it is therefore important that an attending clinician can locate the position of the prostate. Accurate location of the prostate is important to reduce the risk of damage to adjacent tissues, such as the walls of the anus, rectum, and colon.
One technique that has been used to assist with this process is the insertion of a number of gold "seeds" into the prostate. The seeds—each about the size of a grain of rice—are put in place, usually with the help of ultrasound imaging, using long hollow needles through which the seeds are injected. The gold seeds are opaque to X-rays, and so may be used to "triangulate" the position of the prostate. The prostate is not usually visible on X-ray images, but computer tomography may be used after implantation of the seeds, to image both the seeds and the prostate, to determine the position of the seeds relative to the prostate gland. Having established the relationship between the seeds and the gland, conventional X-ray imaging may then be used to locate the seeds and therefore infer the position of the prostate. The requirement to implant the gold seeds is clearly invasive, often leading to an initial inflammation of the prostate, and demands skilled resources to locate the seeds before therapy can begin.
Another problem that can occur is instability of the position of the prostate gland during treatment. The prostate lies adjacent the wall of the rectum, and any gas build-up in the rectum or colon during treatment can displace the position of the prostate.
As a result of these difficulties, it is difficult to accurately judge the position of the prostate gland, and common practice is to irradiate a slightly larger target area to ensure that the tumour receives an adequate dose of radiation. This can increase the risk of inadvertent damage to the adjacent rectal wall.
The present invention attempts a solution to some of these problems.
Accordingly, the invention provides a location and stabilization device comprising: an elongate cylinder, sized to fit in the anal canal and rectum of a user; and the interior of said cylinder having a heterogeneous internal structure arranged to define landmarks detectable by X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging. The device is particularly suitable for stabilizing and locating the position of the prostate gland, although, with small changes in geometry, would also be suitable for locating and stabilizing other organs or structures lying close to the anal canal such as the bladder or other pelvic organs. For clarity, the invention will be described in relation to its use with respect to the prostate. The cylinder may have various cross-sectional profiles, not necessarily circular, nor even symmetric, but for the comfort of the patient, and ease of insertion, a circular or oval cross-section is to be preferred.
Preferably, the cylinder has a bend in the range from 20 to 60 degrees, said bend being located at or towards the axial mid-region of the cylinder.
The bend is located in the cylinder to match the profile of the internal anatomy of the anal canal and rectum when the device is in position. When in position, the bend aligns such that it is adjacent to the position of the prostate gland, the bend effectively "pointing to" the prostate. For adult human use, the bend is ideally located so it lies approximately between 30 and 50 mm internal of the anal sphincter when the device is in position. The diameter of the cylinder is preferably of such as dimension as to lie flush against the internal wall of the rectum and anus, and preferably to slightly distend it. In this way, the wall of the colon is slightly stretched and consequently moved partially away from the prostate—i.e. from the site of radiotherapy treatment. This has the effect of reducing inadvertent damage to the rectum and anal wall. An appropriate diameter (for adult human use) would be in the range of 10 to 25 mm, with a diameter of approximately 15 mm being particularly appropriate. The heterogeneous internal structure may comprise differing materials that show different opacities to X-rays or that show contrast in magnetic resonance imaging, or other imaging system to be used. For example, metal inserts within a plastics body may be used to provide contrast for X-ray imaging, and an aqueous gel within a plastics body would provide contrast for MRI. A particularly preferred aspect where the heterogeneity is provided by air-filled voids is described below.
Preferably, the angle of the bend is approximately 40 degrees. This corresponds to an "average" anatomy, and makes one design of the device usable with a range of patient anatomies.
Alternatively, the cylinder is narrowed at or towards the axial mid-region of the cylinder. Such a feature (as with the bend, described above) also serves to locate the device adjacent an internal structure of interest—such as the prostate gland.
Also, in any aspect of the invention it is preferable that the cylinder is tapered. Such a tapered construction allows the device to be inserted more easily into the anus (narrow end first) without trauma to the sphincter.
Also, in any aspect of the invention it is preferable that the device further comprises a handle at one end of the cylinder; the handle being essentially flat and having a mid-plane lying in or about the longitudinal mid-plane of the bent cylinder. Whilst the provision of a handle at one end makes the device easier to remove, particular advantages spring from an essentially flat construction: Once inserted into the anus, the handle ties between the buttocks of a patient, and is effectively gripped there. This provides a resistance to any rotational movement of the device and acts to ensure that the device is located in the same position each time it is used.
Also, in any aspect of the invention it is preferable that the device has an internal channel providing gaseous communication from one end to the other. It is known that a build-up of gas is Likely to occur in the colon and rectum and, if this occurs during the treatment cycle, it can distend the colon and rectal wall, leading to a displacement of the prostate. With the device in place, build-up of flatus could also displace the device itself. The provision of a gaseous communication channel from one end to the other allows the gas to escape to atmosphere.
Also, in any aspect of the invention it is preferable that the device has a constriction between the cylinder and the handle. Provision of such a constriction renders the device "self-locating": as the anal sphincter contracts after the device is inserted, it grips the device at the location of the constriction thus anchoring it at the correct—and repeatable—depth. It is preferable that the sides of the constriction are angled at between approximately 45 and 60 degrees for secure location, and ease of removal of the device. The corners of the constriction have smooth transitions, again for ease of removal of the device and comfort of the patient.
Also, in any aspect of the invention it is preferable that the landmarks include a linear feature aligned to substantially bisect the angle defined by the bent cylinder. Provision of such features gives a clear indication to the attending clinician of the position of the prostate in relation to the device.
Also, in any aspect of the invention it is preferable that the heterogeneous internal structure comprises air-filled voids. Air-filled voids provide good contrast on X-Ray and MRI images, and the use of air as the second material in the internal structure facilitates manufacture and reduces overall cost of the device. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the device may be manufactured from plastics by injection moulding. High impact polystyrene is a particularly appropriate material as it has appropriate mechanical properties, and has been found to be mucous membrane acceptable.
More preferably, the device is of separable two-part construction, so allowing access to the internal voids. With this feature, contrast markers may be inserted into the voids. Where X-rays are to be used for imaging the device, contrast markers in the form of strips of metal may be inserted into the air-filled voids, to further facilitate imaging of the landmarks. Where other imaging techniques are to be used, alternative materials for contrast markers will be evident to the skilled addressee. In particularly advantageous embodiments, the two parts are connectable by hollow studs adapted to receive contrast markers. In a related advantageous development, the internal (air-filled) voids define pockets adapted to receive contrast markers.
The scope of the invention includes, therefore, such a device further comprising one or more contrast markers. It is particularly advantageous that at least one contrast marker is in the form of a ring. The benefit of a ring-shaped marker is that its image gives information on the orientation of the marker. For example, if a circular ring is used, when imaged "face-on" it wilt appear as a circle; if the device is tilted with respect to the image plane, the image of the marker wilt become progressively more oval in shape. Similarly, if the ring is viewed "end-on" the image wilt be of a line; if the device is tilted with respect to the image plane, the image wilt become progressively more oval.
Also included within the scope of the invention is a prostate gland location and stabilization device substantially as described herein, with reference to, and as illustrated by, any appropriate combination of the accompanying drawings.
Also included within the scope of the invention is a method of locating the prostate gland of a patient on multiple occasions comprising the steps of: inserting a prostate gland location and stabilization device as described above into the anus of a patient; using an imaging system to obtain an image of the device's landmarks and the prostate gland; determining and recording the spatial relationship between the landmarks and the prostate gland; and on a subsequent occasion: inserting a prostate gland location and stabilization device as described above into the anus of a patient; using an imaging system to obtain an image of the device's landmarks; and using said previously recorded spatial relationship to determine the location of the prostate gland.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a device for location and stabilisation of the prostate gland;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a device showing a linear Landmark;
FIG. 3 illustrates images of a ring-shaped contrast marker;

FIG. 5 illustrates the detail of a connecting stud, adapted to receive a contrast marker;
FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 illustrate the positioning of contrast markers within the body of a device;
FIG. 8 illustrates an alternative design of handle for a device;
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating the device in use;
FIG. 10 is an end view of the device, in use;
FIG. 11 illustrates a device having a narrowed cylinder.
FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-section through a prostate gland location and stabilisation device, generally indicated by 11, according to the present invention. The device comprises an elongate cylinder 12 having a bend 13 located towards the axial mid-region of the cylinder 12. The device has a handle 14 at one end of the cylinder 12 enabling the device to be conveniently fitted in, and subsequently removed from, the anus of a patient. The heterogeneous internal structure is formed by the presence of a series of internal ribs 15 defining air-filled voids 16 between them, and between the ribs 15 and the outer shell 17 of the device 11.
The illustration shows one half of a 2-part construction, and two connecting studs 18 are also illustrated. The studs 18 are hollow to enable contrast markers to be located within the studs, if required. This feature is discussed in more detail below.
The device has an internal channel providing gaseous communication from one end to the other. In this embodiment, this is achieved by providing a series of cut-outs 19 in the ribs 15, so connecting air-fitted void 16 to form a channel from one end to the other. FIG. 1 (a) is an end view of device along the line of arrow A and shows a hole 21 formed in the outer shell 17 of the device 11 providing gaseous communication between the interior and exterior of the device 11. In particularly preferred embodiments, more than one hole is provided at this end on the device, preferably located at or adjacent the tip of the device; the provision of multiple holes ensures that the gas communication channel remains open, and not blocked by faecal material. (FIG. 1 (b) is a cross-section along the Line B-B of one half of the 2-part device and illustrating the form of the cut-out 19 in the rib 15. FIG. 1 (c) is an end view of the handle 14 along the line of arrow C. The view shows a second hole 22 formed in the outer skin 17 of the device, again providing gaseous communication between the interior and exterior of the device 11.
The device 11 has a constriction 27 located between the handle 14 and the cylinder 12. As discussed above, the constriction is so shaped and sized as to be gripped by the anal sphincter muscle of the patient when the device is in use. This provides a secure and, more importantly, reproducible means of locating the device in relation to the prostate gland.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a device 11 having a tapered cylinder 12 with a bend 13 towards its axial mid-region, and a handle 14. The bend 13 in the device defines two axes 23 and 24 defining an angle of bend 25. Together, the two non-parallel axes 23 and 24 define a longitudinal mid-plane of the bent cylinder. Internal landmarks 26 in this device are of linear form, and are aligned to substantially bisect the obtuse angle defined by the bent cylinder.
FIG. 4 illustrates two corresponding halves of a device formed as a 2-part construction. Two pairs of interacting studs 18 a and 18 b are illustrated, to clip the two halves of the device together. FIG. 5 illustrates a cross-section through one pair of lugs 18 initially in the unconnected configuration, FIG. 5 (a), and subsequently when clipped together, FIG. 5 (b). It can be seen at the lugs 18 are hollow, enabling a contrast marker 28 to be located within the stud.
FIG. 6 illustrates the use of additional contrast markers 29 in the device 11. FIG. 6 (a) shows, in the plan view, a pair of contrast markers 29 formed from a strip of metal. FIG. 6 (b) illustrates the positioning of the contrast markers 26 in an air-filled void between ribs 15 and the outer shell 17 of the device. In this instance, it can be seen that the contrast markers 29 define an internal landmark, of substantially linear form, and bisecting the obtuse angle defined by the bent cylinder.
FIG. 7 illustrates the use of contrast markers 31 each in the form of a ring. Again, the markers 31 may be formed of a suitable material to give a high contrast on the imaging system, e.g. maybe formed of metal for x-ray imaging. In this instance, the ring-shaped contrast markers 31 are inserted into the interior of the device, and located in pockets defined by adjacent ribs 15. Again, they define a linear feature, bisecting the obtuse angle formed by the bent cylinder. The particular advantage of using ring-shaped contrast markers 31 is illustrated in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 (a) illustrates an image of the marker 31 when viewed "end on", i.e. parallel to the image plane. FIGS. 3 (b) and 3 (c) illustrate the resultant image as the device is twisted with respect to an image plane. The changing shape allows a radiographer or radiologist to determine, therefore, whether the device is aligned as required.
FIG. 8 illustrates an alternative design of handle 14 connected to the cylinder 12 (shown in part). FIG. 8 (a) is a plan view and FIG. 8 (b) is a side view. It can be seen from FIG. 8 (b) that the handle 14 is essentially flat, and defines a mid-plane indicated by the dashed line D-D.
FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-section of a device 11 in situ in the anal canal of a patient. The diagram illustrates the position of the prostate gland 31, the bladder 32, the location of the anal sphincter 33, the wall of the colon 34 and the outline of the patient's buttocks 35. It can be seen that the device follows the contour of the wall of the colon 34, with the bend 13 of the cylinder lying adjacent the prostate gland 31. As discussed above, the diameter of the device is such that it sits against the colon wall 34, and preferably distends it slightly, to stretch the colon wall tissue away from the site of treatment in the prostate gland 31. The diagram illustrates how the constriction 27 in the device 11 is gripped by the anal sphincter 33 to positively locate the device in the desired position. The diagram also illustrates how the handle 14 of the device sits between the buttocks of a patient in use.
FIG. 10 is an end view of the handle 14 of the device in situ in the anus of a patient, illustrating how the essentially flat form of the handle 14 is gripped by the buttocks 35 of the patient. In use, the buttocks 35 would close to more closely grip the handle 14 than is illustrated in FIG. 10, for clarity. The resilient nature of the buttocks 35 mean that the handle 14 does not have to be absolutely flat, in the literal sense, but essentially flat, defining a mid-plane as illustrated in FIG. 8.
FIG. 11 illustrates the overall external shape of two variants of a location and stabilization device, generally indicated by 11, each comprising a cylinder 12 that is narrowed towards the axial mid-region of the cylinder. The narrowing 36 is located to lie adjacent an organ of interest. The internal landmark features are not illustrated, for clarity.

More importantly, each component includes a substantial variety of tips, tips, toolsand exercises, instructions and information to help you succeed. It is laid out so flawlessly that you'll get lost in the webpage, although it may seem like a lot. Reading a weight loss program has never been so much fun.

Liz Miller is a naturopath Author on Amazon. She's highly renowned inside the fitness and health industry for her distinctive approach to assisting men and women across the world achieve their goals. She focuses on the stuff that functions — methods and both the remedies from yesteryear, and steers away from exhausting physical fitness regimes and diet programs.

If you decide to do the exercise, it is going to increase your metabolism and can potentially double the pace at which you lose pounds. Exercise never goes amiss and weight is a matter of intensity, but not the time spent doing this. This booklet includes exercises that anybody should be able to do.
Motivation and willpower are just as significant Path which you would like to follow. I have found that many people have problems remain excited till they reach their goals. That is the reason a great guide on dieting, fitness or detox should include a section on the right mindset. It speaks of this manual which you get you!

We have begun to appreciate red tea a great deal and this Manual did a fantastic job of teaching us what we had to know. So what did we like about it?
Nowadays, even foods generally contain toxins in 1 way or another. There's a large amount of research that affirms that our ordinary sense: Detaching yourself from those toxins and cleansing your body has favorable effects. It is explained by liz so anyone can understand the problems and solutions.
The combination of exercise and healthy foods & Beverages can not fail. Even better, it simplifies one of the chief food related issues now: the excess consumption of soda (especially in the USA). For a lot of people, it's the only thing they drink (rather than water). If you are like this, switching from sugary sodas into red tea makes a huge difference to your physique. But you also detoxify it, so the effects are even greater.
The human body is meant to be active and Live on foods, but we don't do either of these! People drink pop, coffee, or beer, lie on our couch or sit behind a desk. Not only is that this ancient African tea recipe amazing, it also happens to be a beverage. No caffeine or sugar! Together with the fitness booklet, the two of the problems are addressed and lead you to favorable outcomes.
Red tea Is Fantastic, as are the guidelines, foods, and Workout routines in this program. But any such effort needs to be kept. Can you keep this up for a few months and change your behaviour to remain being healthy indefinitely? Or are you the kind gives up? The simple truth is that many of programs work although it. Any system that is real requires area to keep doing this.
Chances are you have more if you are really large Ailments than appears which have to be addressed and your weight. Make sure you don't find any program for a way for all that.
