Seiko Prospex Marine Master Professoinal Sbbn013 Seiko Prospex Marine Master Professoinal Sbbn013

REF: SBBN013 MOVEMENT: Quartz Cal. 7C46 CALENDAR: Day/Date (day in both English and Japanese, user selectable) ACCURACY: Less than +- 15seconds/month between -10 degrees and 60 degrees Celsius. (14 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) BATTERY LIFE: approx. 5 years long life battery w/ low battery indication. CASING: Ceramic, Titanium one piece construction. Utilizing special L shaped gasket for crystal fitting. Anti-magnetic. BEZEL: 120 click uni-directional with asymmetric ceramic bezel guard. CRYSTAL: Sapphire Crystal LUMINOUS MATERIAL: LumiBrite (non-radioactive) store light for 3 to 5 hours, once charged for approx. 10 minutes. LUG SIZE: 22mm WEIGHT: 114g CASE DIAMETER 47.5mm (excl. crown) THICKNESS: 15.3mm WATER RESISTANCE: 100ATM (1000m or 3281 feet) designed for use in saturation diving using helium and oxigen gas. WARRANTY: 1 year from the date of purchase from Seiko Japan. In rare case of warranty repair, if you send it back to us (in Canada), we'll take care of it for you. (to and from shipping charges apply) Guarantee Card must be kept and retured with the watch. NOTABLE COMMENTS: Unbelievable quality and technology. Seiko Engineers have thought of everything. All black casing is not just beacuse it looks great (and it does look great). It is quite dark in the deepsea, so casing is simulating the deep sea environment for every day use. By adjusting divers vision and brain during everyday use, it puts less stress for the diver when watch is actually used in deepsea environment, easily recognizing time. Utilized special L shped gasket to fit the sapphire crystal (first in the world) to prevent small helim gas particles (used in helium/oxygen tank) from entering the watch case during diving. This elimited the need for helium escape valve.

MRI With Contrast Dye Can Cause Rare Disease

Gadolinium injection used to get a better MRI image can cause a rare disease known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in people with kidney problems.

NFD/NSF: What Are The Symptoms?

Patients with NSF describe swelling and tightening of the skin, usually limited to the arms and legs but sometimes involving the trunk of the body. The condition may develop over a period of days to several weeks. In many cases, the skin thickening inhibits the movement of the joints, resulting in a condition where the joint is bent and will not move. Severely affected patients may be unable to walk, or fully extend the joints of their arms, hands, legs, and feet. Complaints of muscle weakness are common. Approximately 5% of patients have a rapidly progressive course.

The skin changes may start as reddened or darkened patches or bumps. In time, the skin may feel "woody" and the surface may resemble the texture of the peel of an orange. Patients may experience burning, itching, or severe sharp pains in areas of involvement. Deep "bone pain" has been described in the hips and in the ribs.

The skin injuries are commonly symmetrical, with zones between the ankles and thighs most commonly involved, followed by involvement between the wrist and upper arms. Hand and foot swelling with blister-like damage has also been reported. Some patients have reported yellow bumps or patches on or near the eyes. Rapid, new onset fluctuating high blood pressure of unknown cause has been described prior to the onset of the skin damage.
(From The International Center for Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy Research.)

NFD/NSF: What Are The Treatment options?

While there is no consistently successful treatment for NSF, improving renal function (due to any modality) seems to slow or arrest NSF (and in many cases allows for gradual reversal of the process over time).

Critical assessment of the effects of any investigational therapy requires careful attention *and reporting* of the patient's renal function during therapy. Investigational therapies that show objective improvement in the setting of worsening or stable chronic renal failure should be targeted for further investigation. Therapies that show improvement of NSF while renal function is improving may or may not be contributing to the observed improvement. Given the recent association of NSF with gadolinium administration, any reports of investigational therapies should also clearly indicate whether gadolinium was administered during the therapeutic evaluation, and whether there was an identifiable clinical change in the patient's disease.

Treatments that have been tried and continue to be investigated include:

Oral steroids (prednisone): Patients with concurrent diabetes should be aware of the risks of hyperglycemia while taking this medication. All patients should be aware of the possibility of gastrointestinal ulceration while taking prednisone. In addition, osteoporosis is often accelerated while taking this medication.

Topical Dovonex (Dovonex is an ointment approved by the FDA for treating psoriasis) : So far, responses have been anecdotal and largely subjective. Some patients report improvement in localized disease.

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP): (Note: the patient is given certain drugs which are sensitive to the influence of light then the patients blood is run through a device outside the body [extracorporeal] during which the blood is subjected to ultraviolet rays.) A recent article describes three patients in Europe who responded with softening of plaques after several courses of ECP. Each of these patients had no improvement in renal function during the treatment. All three of these patients had had NSF for less than one year. Experience at Yale suggests that patients with longstanding NSF (arbitrarily set at one year) may not respond to this modality. This treatment is currently under investigation, although no formal trials are yet offered. Some insurance carriers are receptive to covering a trial of therapy, but in the event coverage cannot be secured, be advised that therapy is exceedingly expensive. Many patients and providers have reported that Medicare has provided coverage for ECP in recent cases.

Plasmapheresis: (this is a blood purification procedure which removes antibodies from the blood) As with photopheresis this treatment method is extracorporeal meaning the blood is routed out of the body, treated, and then routed back to the body. One study from Loma Linda University (ref 12) reported improvement in three patients with liver/kidney transplant. Two of these patients were noted to have concurrent improving renal function. It is unclear what contribution improving renal function may have had in the overall clinical improvement. Nevertheless, anecdotally, some persons have reported slight improvement following plasmapheresis. Several others have been reported who noted no improvement at all.

Cytoxan: (this drug is normally used in chemotherapy to treat cancer) Anecdotally, this medication has shown no improvement in a number of NSF patients.

Thalidomide: (Thalidomide was first marketed in the 1950s and a sleeping pill and as a treatment for morning sickness. It is now believed to cause birth defects and so is not approved for sale in the U.S. but the FDA allows its usage in certain studied. ) There are no formal reports on the success of this medication in NSF. However, some patients have reported subjective improvement. Long term tolerance of the drug may be an issue, however. .

Ultraviolet therapy: Some anecdotal use but no reports of success.

Physical therapy (PT): Some patients have reported that physical therapy, in particular, swimming, may be helpful in slowing the progression of joint contractures. (Contractures are joints that are bent but unmovable from scar tissue formation.) There is no contraindication to PT, and the definite potential up-side suggests that PT should be pursued whenever possible. Deep massage has been reported to be of benefit.

Pentoxifylline (PXF): ( This medication which is also known as Trental decreases the "stickiness" (viscosity) of blood and thereby improves its flow. This increased blood flow helps patients with peripheral arterial disease to obtain better circulation and oxygen delivery to vital tissues. It is used to treat a condition of painful legs that develop with exercise because of inadequate circulation to the legs and feet) A recent report describes two NSF patients who received 1200 mg per day of oral pentoxifylline . Both patients stabilized, and the one with less severe disease improved somewhat. As thrombosis (blood clotting) seems to be an inciting event for many NSF patients, this mechanism could also be partially responsible for the improvements noted clinically. Many more patients will need to be treated to further evaluate the efficacy of this drug.

High Dose Intravenous Ig (Immunoglobulin) Therapy: (Immunoglobulins are antibodies found in the human body) One patient showed objective improvements with one cycle of therapy with this medication. Further improvement with additional cycles was not observed. No comment was made regarding the renal status of the patient while receiving this therapy. There is anecdotal information suggesting this therapy has been helpful in one other patient with NSF. Additional anecdotal data have been less promising.

Kidney transplant: Several patients have improved significantly with a return to normal kidney function (either as a result of transplantation or medical therapy). In other cases, kidney transplant has resulted in no obvious improvement of the lesions, even with a fully functioning, successfully transplanted organ.

whats the ruling in UFC if 2 fighters go down??

i know it would be rare, but what would be the official ruling if 2 fighters land a KO punch at the same time and they both go down? would the ref just let them recover and continue with the bout? or is it a no contest?? just wondering..lol

it would be declared a NO CONTEST since both fighters are unable to continue...not a draw! A situation like this happened in the finale to The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 where Gray Maynard slammed Rob Emerson to the mat...Emerson tapped due to an injury he sustained as a result of the slam, however, as Maynard slammed him, he hit his own head on the mat and knocked himself out...Maynard claimed nothing happened to him, but his eyes rolled back and was completely disoriented for awhile.

Thursday's action as it happened
Liverpool and Fulham progress to the last 16 of the Europa League but Everton are knocked out by Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.

Thanks for visiting!
