INDOCIN (INDOMETHACIN)

Indomethacin (Indocin) is an analgesic. It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. These are commonly referred to as NSAIDS. Other NSAIDS are also used as analgesics. Indomethacin can be used as a pain reliever or analgesic. It can also be used as a treatment for arthritis, fever or other conditions where inflammation plays a role in creating the symptoms.

Unlike steroids, the side effects with indomethacin are not as likely to be common or severe. The most common side effects include stomach upset, dizziness, diarrhea and tiredness. It may cause or worsen stomach ulcers. It can have effects on kidney and liver function when used chronically.

Some headaches such as episodic and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania are exclusively responsive to indomethacin. It is the medication of first choice in these types of headache. Indomethacin may also be helpful in headache related to physical stress or exertional headache. It has been shown to be effective in migraine both for prevention of migraine as well as treating the acute migraine attack.

BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of the explosive type of headache associated with sexual activity is not completely understood. Five reported cases of patients with thunderclap headache, precipitated by sexual activity, in association with concomitant cerebral arterial narrowing, were found in the literature. METHODS: A 44-year-old woman with both coital and masturbatory headaches during orgasm associated with segmental reversible cerebral artery vasospasm was investigated. Cerebral anatomy and eventual spasm was documented by magnetic resonance imaging or digital angiography before, during, and after resolution of the orgasmic headache-vasospasm clinical manifestation. CONCLUSION: Findings of cerebral arterial narrowing, presented by some patients shortly after orgasmic headache attacks, support the hypothesis that segmental vasospasm may exert a role in the pathogenesis of this uncommon type of headache. The literature is reviewed, and possible mechanisms underlying the development of orgasmic headache are discussed.

Preventative treatment is propranolol and direct treatment of condition is with indomethacin.

Today's thoroughbreds are a result of more than 300 years of selective breeding that has carried them very far from their roots on the steppes and deserts of the Middle East. Every thoroughbred is descended from one of three stallions, the Darley Arabian, Godolphin, and the Byerly Turk, brought to England toward the close of the 17th century and bred to mares initially under the patronage of King Charles II. A great-great-grandson of the Darley Arabian, bred by a son of King George II, was born during a solar eclipse in 1764 and named Eclipse. An undefeated champion on the track, he sired 344 winners, and his powerful bloodline literally eclipsed all others. In fact, 95 percent of the thoroughbreds alive today are his descendants.

Benign sex headaches are severe headaches that occur during an orgasm. Despite the name of this condition, benign sex headaches are often quite painful. This condition has been known to exist since the time of Hippocrates (about 460 B.C), but only during the 1970's was it formally addressed by K. Kritz. Other names for this condition are coital cephalalgia, orgasmic cephalagia, and benign coital headache. There are two kinds of benign sex headaches, the first being described as a sudden explosive pain in the head during the point of orgasm. Patients have described the feeling to be like a sudden blow to the head, to a sudden throb like pulses similar to a migraine. The other type is described as a pain that intensifies as the onset of orgasm nears. In some instances both types of benign sex headache occur, the first type occurring immediately after the second type. There have also been documented cases where standing up after coitus has produced headaches. This type of coital headache is relatively rare. It can last for several weeks, and lying down relieves the pain.

May you never, ever have cause to read this article. Oh my god the pain. Some of the worst I've ever experienced.

The next Writely to be acquired by Google, this thing is pretty cool. It is a flash based groupware app for charts. Its still in beta, and it shows. There are noticable bugs, and editing in it is about half as nice as OmniGraffle, my normal diagram software. What Gliffy lacks at the moment, but sorely needs is SVG import. If I can export from OmniGraffle or Visio and import into Gliffy, then it is good enough right now to be very useful for collaboration.

I frequently use writely to create first drafts of documents with collaborators. I would use this too, if it were easier to use. Right now the "feel" of the editing is not quite there, and there are no snap-grids to align objects with. And when one zooms, the cut and paste changes the scale of the object in the clipboard.

I look forward to trying Gliffy the next time I need to collaborate on a chart. Its pretty cool.

I became a programmer. After a number of years I easily started to differentiate between those for whom I wanted to work and those I didn’t. I quickly realized that the people who managed me were ones to avoid and those that led me were to be followed. I started to see the difference between management and leadership.

The differences were stark. The managers told me what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Some people call this micro-management. The difference between micro-management and macro-management is the size of the magnifying lens. Micro-management, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

The leaders, on the other hand, painted a broad picture of the goals, removed obstacles and trusted me to use my innate skills to achieve those goals. There was coaching along the way including advice, counsel and strong mentoring. The leaders never had me work the weekend to “get the TPS reports out.”

For all the details, read the papers and articles. The basic ideas behind prevalence are as follows:

* Keep all objects in memory all the time, and access them as in-memory objects.
* Every operation that affects the "persistent" state of an object must be implemented as a serializable command object (see CommandPattern). When a command is executed, its serializable form is written to a log file. When the system is restarted, the prevalence system re-executes all these serialized commands, thus restoring the states of all the in-memory objects.
* You can cause a snapshot of current object states to be stored, so that when the system is restarted, you load the snapshot and then re-execute the commands that have been logged since the snapshot was created.
