Saunders, — Anaphylaxis may include any combination of common signs and symptoms Table 2. Gastrointestinal manifestations e. Headache, rhinitis, substernal pain, pruritus, and seizure occur less frequently. Symptom onset varies widely but generally occurs within seconds or minutes of exposure.

Rarely, anaphylaxis may be delayed for several hours. Anaphylaxis can be protracted, lasting for more than 24 hours, or recur after initial resolution. Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions. In: Middleton E, ed. Allergy: principles and practice.

Louis: Mosby, — Approximately one third of anaphylactic episodes are triggered by foods such as shellfish, peanuts, eggs, fish, milk, and tree nuts e. A patient may underestimate the importance of a food antigen, or the antigen may be one of many ingredients in a complex product. Some persons may react just by handling the culprit food. Another common cause of anaphylaxis is a sting from a fire ant or Hymenoptera bee, wasp, hornet, yellow jacket, and sawfly. Approximately 40 to deaths per year in the United States result from insect stings, and up to 3 percent of the U.

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs may produce a range of reactions, including asthma, urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylactoid reactions. Overall, aspirin accounts for an estimated 3 percent of anaphylactic reactions.

Sensitive persons may have similar reactions to NSAIDs antigenically unrelated to aspirin and must take only acetaminophen for mild pain or fever. At one time penicillin was probably the most common cause of anaphylaxis. Between one and five per 10, patient courses with penicillin result in allergic reactions, with one in 50, to one in , courses having a fatal outcome, accounting for 75 percent of anaphylactic deaths in the United States. Latex allergy has become a significant problem since the widespread adoption of universal precautions against infection.

Eight to 17 percent of health care workers experience some form of allergic reaction to latex, although not all of these reactions are anaphylaxis. Latex is in gloves, catheters, and countless other medical supplies, as well as thousands of consumer products.

Persons allergic to latex also may be sensitive to fruits such as bananas, kiwis, pears, pineapples, grapes, and papayas.

Cryoprecipitate, immune globulin, plasma, whole blood. Cold temperatures, exercise. Finally, radiographic contrast media can result in severe adverse reactions at a rate of 0. When history of exposure to an offending agent is elicited, the diagnosis of anaphylaxis is often obvious. Cutaneous manifestations of urticaria, itching, and angioedema assist in the diagnosis by suggesting an allergic reaction.

However, when gastrointestinal symptoms predominate or cardiopulmonary collapse makes obtaining a history impossible, anaphylaxis may be confused with other entities. Some of these differential diagnoses are listed in Table 4. Vasovagal reaction. Cardiogenic shock. Hypovolemic shock. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation. Vocal chord dysfunction syndrome.

Monosodium glutamate ingestion. Sulfite ingestion. Scombroid fish poisoning. Postmenopausal hot flushes. Red man syndrome vancomycin [Vancocin]. Systemic mastocytosis. Hereditary angioedema. Leukemia with excess histamine production. If the diagnosis of anaphylaxis is not clear, laboratory evaluation can include plasma histamine levels, which rise as soon as five to 10 minutes after onset but remain elevated for only 30 to 60 minutes.

Urinary histamine levels remain elevated somewhat longer. Alternatively, serum tryptase levels peak 60 to 90 minutes after onset of anaphylaxis and remain elevated for up to five hours. Some patients have isolated abnormal tryptase or histamine levels without the other.

The initial management of anaphylaxis includes a focused examination, procurement of a stable airway and intravenous access, and administration of epinephrine. Examination may reveal urticaria, angioedema, wheezing, or laryngeal edema.

If the antigen was injected e. Epinephrine , dilution, 0. The site may be gently massaged to facilitate absorption. The dose may be repeated two or three times at 10 to 15 minutes intervals.

If severe hypotension is present, epinephrine may be given as a continuous intravenous infusion. Patients receiving intravenous epinephrine require cardiac monitoring because of potential arrhythmias and ischemia. If an intravenous line cannot be established, the intramuscular dose can be injected into the posterior one third of the sublingual area, or the intravenous dose may be injected into an endotracheal tube.

The patient should be placed supine or in Trendelenburg's position. Supplemental oxygen may be administered. Intravenous access should be obtained for fluid resuscitation, because large volumes of fluids may be required to treat hypotension caused by increased vascular permeability and vasodilation. While volume replacement is central to management of hypotension in anaphylaxis, other pressors such as dopamine Intropin , 2 to 20 mcg per kg per minute, may be required.

Reply to phil. Zachary Davies. What do you think about the initiation of an infusion of adrenaline after giving IM adrenaline? Do not administer epinephrine to any other part of the body, including the:. A second dose of epinephrine should be injected if the initial anaphylaxis symptoms do not improve after 10 minutes of the first treatment. Due to the severity of anaphylaxis, it is critical that people with serious allergies keep their epinephrine injection device with them or accessible at all times.

Epinephrine should be injected as soon as you suspect you may be experiencing anaphylaxis symptoms. After injecting a dose of epinephrine, some solution will remain in the injection device. This is normal and does not mean that you did not receive the full dose. Take the used device with you to the emergency room or ask your doctor or pharmacist how to dispose of used infection devices safely.

While epinephrine helps treat serious allergic reactions, it does not take the place of professional medical treatment. Immediately following an epinephrine injection, call an ambulance or go to the hospital. Severe allergies are more than an inconvenience — they can be life-threatening.

Mahr, Stuart L. Abramson, Chitra Dinakar, Thomas A. Kim, Elizabeth C. Matsui; Epinephrine for First-aid Management of Anaphylaxis. Pediatrics March ; 3 : e Anaphylaxis is a severe, generalized allergic or hypersensitivity reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. Epinephrine adrenaline can be life-saving when administered as rapidly as possible once anaphylaxis is recognized.

This clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics is an update of the clinical report on this topic. It provides information to help clinicians identify patients at risk of anaphylaxis and new information about epinephrine and epinephrine autoinjectors EAs.

The report also highlights the importance of patient and family education about the recognition and management of anaphylaxis in the community. Anaphylaxis is defined as a serious, generalized allergic or hypersensitivity reaction that is rapid in onset and potentially fatal. Clinical presentation and severity can vary among patients and in the same patient from 1 anaphylactic episode to another.

Clinical criteria for anaphylaxis have been proposed and validated. These clinical criteria for the diagnosis of anaphylaxis have been validated in emergency department studies in children, teenagers, and adults.

They have high sensitivity Foods, especially peanut, tree nuts, milk, eggs, crustacean shellfish, and finned fish, are by far the most common triggers of anaphylaxis in the pediatric population. Cofactors that lower the threshold at which triggers can cause anaphylaxis include exercise, upper respiratory tract infections, fever, ingestion of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs or ethanol, emotional stress, and perimenstrual status.

Epinephrine is the medication of choice for the first-aid treatment of anaphylaxis. Through vasoconstrictor effects, it prevents or decreases upper airway mucosal edema laryngeal edema , hypotension, and shock.

In addition, it has important bronchodilator effects and cardiac inotropic and chronotropic effects. Delayed epinephrine administration in anaphylaxis is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization 22 and poor outcomes, including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and death.

Epinephrine can be life-saving when injected promptly by the intramuscular IM route in the mid-outer thigh vastus lateralis muscle as soon as anaphylaxis is recognized Table 1. Epinephrine autoinjectors EAs can be used in health care settings to deliver a 0.

Adapted from refs 1 , — 3 , 6. Note that only a few anaphylaxis symptoms may be present during an episode. Also, symptoms can differ among patients, and even in the same patient from 1 episode to the next. Typically, more than 1 body organ system is involved. If the response to the first epinephrine injection is inadequate, it can be repeated once or twice at 5- to minute intervals. Subsequent doses are typically given by a health care professional along with other interventions. The need for subsequent injections did not correlate with obesity or overweight status.

Subsequent epinephrine doses are needed for severe or rapidly progressive anaphylaxis and for failure to respond to the initial injection because of delayed injection of the initial dose, inadequate initial dose, or administration through a suboptimal route. Food-induced anaphylaxis is associated with biphasic anaphylaxis less often than is venom- or drug-induced anaphylaxis. Reluctance to inject epinephrine promptly at the onset of anaphylaxis symptoms is best overcome by awareness that the severity of an anaphylactic episode can differ from 1 patient to another and in the same patient from 1 episode to another.

These effects cannot be dissociated from the beneficial effects of epinephrine. Epinephrine given by IM injection achieves peak concentrations faster than that given by subcutaneous injection.

There is no absolute contraindication to epinephrine treatment in anaphylaxis. Only 2 premeasured, fixed doses of epinephrine, 0. These doses are optimal for many children but not necessarily for all children. The 0. However, dose preparation can take laypersons as long as 3 to 4 minutes; moreover, doses typically are inaccurate and can sometimes contain no epinephrine at all when the solution is ejected from the syringe along with the air.

After consideration of the aforementioned alternatives that potentially lead to delay in dosing, incorrect dosing, or no dose at all and consideration of the favorable benefit-to-risk ratio of epinephrine in young patients with anaphylaxis, many physicians recommend the use of the 0.

On the basis of a pharmacokinetic study 40 and expert consensus, it is appropriate to switch most children from the 0. Most anaphylaxis deaths occur in community settings rather than in health care settings 1 , 16 , — 18 ; yet, some physicians fail to prescribe EAs for their patients at risk of anaphylaxis in the community. In fact, some experts have suggested that consideration be given to prescribing EAs for all patients with immunoglobulin E—mediated food allergy, because it is difficult or impossible to predict the occurrence or severity of future reactions.

Guidelines recommend prompt epinephrine injection for the sudden onset of any anaphylaxis symptoms after exposure to an allergen that previously caused anaphylaxis in that patient.

Even physicians with years of experience in diagnosing and treating anaphylaxis cannot determine, at the onset of an episode, whether that episode will remain mild or escalate over minutes to become life-threatening. It is therefore important that physicians instruct patients and caregivers to err on the side of prompt epinephrine injection.

Many patients and caregivers fail to carry EAs consistently or to use them when anaphylaxis occurs, even for severe symptoms, including throat tightness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and loss of consciousness.

She calmed her nerves when she needed it most, holding in the emotions on the shooting range to earn her first medal in her third Olympics. Jiang was second, 0. The Americans were shut out on the first day, but hauled in six medals in swimming on Day 2.

The year-old Shaner qualified third and was steady in the finals at his first Olympics, boosted by the confidence of winning a World Cup event earlier this year. Sheng Lihao, a year-old Chinese shooter with little international experience, took silver and teammate Yang Haoran earned bronze. Shaner was one of the top youth shooters in the country and has already had a decorated career at the University of Kentucky, finishing second at the NCAA individual championships and winning team gold in consecutive seasons.

This authorship debate has raged since the 19th Century when clergyman James Wilmot set out to write a biography on the bard. This is substantiated by scholars who argue there is no real evidence to suggest otherwise.

Fellow writers, such as Christopher Marlowe and Ben Johnson, came from similar backgrounds to Shakespeare, so it seems entirely plausible that the son of a simple glove maker could be equally capable of high literary prowess.

Well, Anti-Stratfordians argue that, whilst genius is not dependent on social rank, access to knowledge and experience is. With a limited education, how does the boy from Stratford create works demonstrating an innate understanding of the royal courts, the geography of countries ranging from Scotland to Italy, politics and the law; not to mention a vast knowledge of classical literature?

Where would he get access to this information? Theories abound that this is when he accumulated the vast knowledge required to fill the plays with such minute detail.

Was he a soldier, a spy? Was he serving at court or simply trudging the country as a teacher or an actor? Or, is it more plausible that Shakespeare was someone else? Someone of higher rank who had access to the courts, travel and a higher level of education? Perhaps we will never know. In the meantime, just like a theatrical who-done-it, here are the top three un usual suspects who just may have written the plays:. Add in the high education, court position and penchant for travel and you have a hot prospect.

The theory was first proposed in by a Mr. T Looney yes, really and even garnered support from Sigmund Freud. A playwright, spy and contemporary of Shakespeare.

However, he was stabbed in the eye in , dying long before Shakespeare ceased to write. A point Marlovians are quick to overlook, believing that he faked his own death. See more by Fay Barrett. Shakespeare must have been a familiar figure at the royal court. Some of his plays, such as Macbeth , with its egregious flattery of King James I, bear obvious witness to the importance to the company of court patronage.

And the wide range of dramatic styles that Shakespeare adopted, the fact that he composed an average of around two plays a year, and that he moved freely among the dramatic genres, all indicate his sensitivity to the needs of his company.

The author is not as humble as he pretends to be — he keeps his options open. In this he differs greatly from, for instance, John Lyly, or even Ben Jonson, whose plays are more restricted in range. And though he knew that he had to please, he was willing, especially as he grew older - more confident of himself, less dependent on popular success - to push the boundaries, sometimes seeming almost to be writing for himself rather than for the populace.

Troilus and Cressida and Cymbeline , for example, are stylistically challenging; we have little evidence as to how these and some other plays fared with audiences. But it is clear from numerous references to Hamlet soon after composition that, for all its exceptional length, it, at least, was well received — which says a lot for the often under-rated audiences of the time.

Before Shakespeare even started to write a play he had to choose or to invent a story that was suitable for dramatization. Almost all his plays are based to some degree or other on one or more pre-existing narratives, some historical in origin, others fictional, some already in dramatic form. And he consulted some of these stories, especially the historical ones, in multiple versions. All this means that Shakespeare had to do a lot of preliminary spadework before he even began to invent a structure for his play.

He needed, and the company must have allowed him, time for reading. I find it irresistible to conjecture that they made it possible for him to move away from his London lodgings from time to time to the relative peace and quiet of a study — which we know existed - in New Place.

Some of the books Shakespeare had read at school clearly gave him material for both the stories and for details of his plays and poems. And it is clear that throughout his working life Shakespeare was an assiduous reader — and not only for professional reasons. All this shows that he was not just a jobbing playwright but a highly cultivated man of letters.

And he had to do all this in ways that would fit the physical structures of the theatres of his time and the strengths and limitations of the acting company at his disposal. He knew that the theatrical conventions of his time required plays to be of a certain length, though the limits were flexible. It is difficult for us to estimate how long the plays would have lasted in contemporary performance, but the fact that they vary in line length from around lines for The Comedy of Errors to about 4, for Hamlet shows that though there may have been minimum expectations there were no fixed limits.

Shakespeare may have wished to make changes between first having a manuscript transcribed for his actors and their putting it into production.

Play-texts had to be supple to local requirements. Shakespeare had models which he could observe, follow, modify, or reject. He knew about the traditional genres of tragedy and comedy, though he conspicuously refused to be constrained by them throughout his career. He wrote his plays as continuous structures, flowing smoothly from beginning to end.

He knew of the five-act structure favoured by Roman dramatists such as Plautus and Terence, and imitated by some of his English predecessors. But Shakespeare refused to be bound by the practice of his predecessors.

Sadly, little of the music composed for these purposes — or indeed for the plays in general - has survived. The printed texts contain music cues, but I suspect that they give an inadequate impression of the amount of music that would have been played in early performance. Most importantly, he would have to think about how his narrative material related to conventions of dramatic form and to expectations of genre, whether he could best relate it to conventions of comedy or of tragedy, or indeed whether it fell outside formal expectations of genre.

He would have needed to devise climactic scenes, and to think about how to bring it all to a satisfyingly dramatic conclusion. The ground plans for some of his plays are more schematically worked out than others. Other plays, however, such as The Comedy of Errors , Romeo and Juliet , and The Tempest , are elaborately and neatly plotted as if, like an architect designing a great cathedral, Shakespeare had created his overall design before going back to fill in the details.

And there is no way in which the intricacies of the virtuosically designed final scene of Cymbeline , with its multiple denouements, can have been improvised on the spur of the moment. Its composition required the same kind of intellectual effort as a contrapuntal masterpiece by Bach. And the conventions of comedy encouraged the inclusion of dances, of music and song.

Here he would have required the collaboration of composers, instrumentalists, and singing actors. For a tragedy Shakespeare would have wanted especially to give his actors the chance to portray passion, as Hamlet does, for example when he upbraids his mother, or Lear on the heath, or Othello in his jealous rage with Desdemona, or Coriolanus in his diatribes against the common people. But Shakespeare was not bound by convention, and his range and technique developed as he gained experience.

He broadened generic expectations. He would need constantly to remember how many actors he had available to him, and he would have to tailor the plot accordingly. Most of his plays can be performed by a company of 14 actors if, as was customary, some of them take more than one role each.

This seems sometimes to have placed strains upon his ingenuity. Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight. Shakespeare would want to write starring roles for the leading actors, and in doing so both to cater for their strengths and to remember their limitations. To say that Shakespeare would have to do all this is not, of course, to suggest that the writing of a play for the theatre of his time was any more difficult for him than for any of his fellow playwrights.

He was driven by internal compulsions, by changing and developing creative urges as well as by practical considerations. How fluent was Shakespeare? No working papers for any of the canonical plays survive.

Still, what they say is consonant with the evidence provided by his only surviving literary manuscript, the or so lines that he is believed to have added to the multi-authored play of Sir Thomas More after it had been subjected, at an uncertain date, to censorship by the Master of the Revels, Sir Thomas Buc. This is the only literary manuscript — indeed the only example of his handwriting except for a few signatures on legal documents - to have survived.

In it there is scarcely any punctuation, as if his ideas were flowing with such facility that he had no time to bother about details. Words are often abbreviated, to save time.

This is a man in a hurry, writing probably to commission to patch up a manuscript play after the Master of the Revels had demanded extensive change for political reasons. It is also possible to catch glimpses of Shakespeare at work in the printed texts of a few of his plays.

These auditions tend to be long, so bring snacks and water, and check the weather in case you have to wait outside of a venue. And no worries about impressing Blake Shelton—he won't be in attendance at these first auditions, and neither will the other judges.

It's just you and a panel of producers and casting people. You're not allowed to bring any other people in the room with you unless you're a minor—you get to bring a parent or guardian. Congratulations, that's amazing! If you get the gift of a "red card" during the audition process, you've been given a callback, and the casting directors at the audition will give you a designated time and place to return.

These rules are a little more rigorous: Callback contestants must prepare three current popular songs for their callback audition, and may be asked to perform a song of the producer's choice.

Unlike American Idol , original music and songs are not allowed because the show is primarily about the magic of hearing other voices interpret popular songs. While the first round didn't allow backing tracks or accompaniment, callback contestants may sing to a backing track, play an instrument, or have a person accompany them. In fact, a cappella singing is not allowed at the callbacks at all.

Since , NBC's The Voice has been a phenomenon, with fans tuning in season after season to find out who will become the winner and earn that coveted recording contract.

For instance, since the final goal is 48 contestants every season, casting may pull people for the Blinds. Due to licensing and other restrictions, contestants select songs they can sing from a list given to them by producers before the Blinds.

This avoids any legal issues or repeated songs. On the other hand, American Idol values more individuality, welcoming original songs and focusing on the artists themselves more than the mentoring. Some examples of this on the most recent season of Idol were Catie Turner, Michelle Susette, and winner Maddie Poppe, who all sang original songs they personally wrote.

All in all, I hope this gives you a better idea of how the whole audition process works and what to expect. The experience is a lot of fun overall! Kyle Montplaisir is a contributor and host at Talent Recap. What do you think? We welcome your insight and opinions, but keep them clean!

Targeted therapy drugs attack cancer by targeting the changes in cells that cause cancer. They can be given as an IV into a vein , as a shot, or as pills. Targeted therapy can cause many different side effects depending on which drug is used. These drugs often cause skin changes, rash, high blood pressure, bleeding problems, or blood clotting problems. These side effects usually go away after treatment ends. There are ways to treat most of the side effects caused by targeted therapy.

Radiation uses high-energy rays like x-rays to kill cancer cells. This treatment may be used as the main treatment for some stage 1 or 2 lymphomas. There are 2 main ways radiation can be given. It can be aimed at the cancer from a machine outside the body. This is called external beam radiation.

Or, the radiation can be attached to an immunotherapy drug which takes it right to the lymphoma cells. If your doctor says you should have radiation treatment, talk about what side effects might happen. The most common side effects of radiation are:. Most side effects get better after treatment ends. Some might last longer. Talk to your cancer care team about what you can expect. Surgery is often used to do a biopsy to find out if a person has non-Hodgkin lymphoma and, if so, the type.

Clinical trials are research studies that test new drugs or other treatments in people. They compare standard treatments with others that may be better. Clinical trials are one way to get the newest cancer treatment. They are the best way for doctors to find better ways to treat cancer. And if you do sign up for a clinical trial, you can always stop at any time. There are no routine screenings for lymphoma. If a person has persistent viral symptoms, they should seek medical consultation.

They will also carry out a physical examination, including an inspection of the abdomen and chin, neck, groin, and armpits, where swellings may occur. The doctor will look for signs of infection near lymph nodes since this can account for most cases of swelling. Blood tests and biopsies: These can detect the presence of lymphoma and help a doctor distinguish between different types. A biopsy involves a surgeon taking a sample of lymph tissue.

The doctor will then send it for examination in a laboratory. The surgeon may remove a small section or all of a lymph node. In some cases, they might use a needle to take a tissue sample. It might be necessary to carry out a bone marrow biopsy. This may require a local anesthetic, a sedative, or a general anesthetic. Biopsies and other tests can confirm the stage of the cancer to see whether it has spread to other parts of the body. A spinal tap: In this procedure, a surgeon uses a long, thin needle to remove and test spinal fluid under local anesthetic.

Staging of the cancer depends on the type, growth rate, and cellular characteristics. In stage 0 or 1, the cancer stays in a confined area. By stage 4, it has spread to more distant organs, and doctors find it more challenging to treat. A doctor may also describe lymphoma as indolent, meaning that it remains in one place. Some lymphomas are aggressive, which means they spread to other parts of the body. With Hodgkin lymphoma, The chances of a good outcome decrease as lymphoma progresses.

Many of these treatments are already available for some types of lymphoma, and more are being tested in clinical trials.

How does lymphoma affect the immune system? You might pick up infections more easily, and they could be more severe or last for longer than they would normally.

If you have lymphoma cells in your bone marrow , they take up space that is normally used to make healthy blood cells, including white blood cells that fight infections. It can also cause weight loss and loss of muscle mass.

Back to top How does treatment for lymphoma affect the immune system? Effects of treatment on your immune system Many chemotherapy drugs damage your bone marrow, where your blood cells develop.

Other ways treatment can affect your immune system As well as white blood cells, your immune system includes physical barriers to help stop germs getting into your body. This can include: chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which can damage your skin or the lining of your mouth , making it easier for germs to enter injections or blood tests , which pierce your skin and can provide a point of entry for germs having a peripherally inserted central catheter PICC line or central line fitted, which can give bacteria a route into your bloodstream surgery, including biopsies , which create a break in your skin that can allow germs into your body.

By: Brad Campbell June 25, Blog. Security concerns resulting from active shootings, civil unrest, and burglary, among other things, have caused most commercial building owners and homeowners to increasingly move away from standard glass windows.

There is an ever-growing need for stronger glass to keep attackers and would-be intruders at bay to protect your property and the lives of those inside it. Security glass products like laminated safety glass are highly effective at delaying and preventing forced entry and protecting against armed attacks targeting all types of residential and commercial properties.

Facts About Laminated Glass. Why Use Laminated Glass. Benefits of Laminated Glass. Unlike the standard glass for windows and doors, this one is made of two glass layers and an interlayer. The two layers of glass are hardened, mainly through heat strengthening.

They are then bonded by the interlayer, usually a vinyl material, to keep the two layers intact. The construction of safety laminated glass is what makes it different from the standard window and door glass.

When impacted, this safety glass does not shatter and fall off the window or door frame; the vinyl interlayer holds the glass fragments.

As such, it does not pose an injury threat to building occupants, which often result from flying glass pieces in the case of a standard window and door glass. Therefore, laminated glass effectively blocks the entry of attackers and intruders to homes, stores, or classrooms, since it remains in place even after an attempt to shatter it. This feature gives building occupants time to react as well as security officers time to arrive.

While some people may mistake laminated glass for bulletproof glass, it is important to note that it falls into the category of non-ballistic glazing products. Laminated glass does not, therefore, keep bullets away but still holds together upon bullet penetration. This is important as it delays the attacker and buys occupants precious time to find cover and authorities to arrive at the place.

Unlike standard glass, it provides a safety barrier against flying glass pieces that may injure room occupants. Laminated glass does a great job of keeping you away from intruders and attackers while maintaining crystal clear views of the surroundings.

In laminated glass design, the interlayer has minimal effect on the view, and building occupants can still enjoy clear views of their surroundings. The common type of material used as the interlayer makes laminated safety glass panels virtually invisible. This makes it useful for schools, homes, and particularly retail stores, as it makes it possible for potential customers to window-shop while maintaining the safety of the valuables inside.

Laminated glass is categorized as a containment-grade glazing material, which means it is reinforced with a more robust interlayer. The strength of this safety glass comes down to the number of glass layers used. These layers go through a hardening process where heat is used to make the glass sturdier. The thickness of the glass is used to determine its protection level. The thickness can vary from 0. The use of stronger interlayer materials, other than the standard polyvinyl butyral PVB , makes laminated glass stronger and stiffer compared to standard glass and other types of safety glass.

Glass companies have long used laminated glass for windows and doors in new buildings. These may be homes where owners wish to take security measures like preventing forced entry. Dustin: Absolutely. Also in a commercial setting; very similiar process. So this pieces of glass is actually a safety glass. Both sides are actually tempered. So it takes a really good shot. So it actually spiderwebs from the location. Now, this will continue to crack.

It will continue to break. Dustin: You can hear it, right. And then eventually it will fall out. So tempered glass breaks into these small pieces. Will these cut you? For sure. This can definitely still cut you. So when tempered glass breaks, it breaks into small pieces. We noticed earlier when you hit it, that you kind of bounced off a time or two, right?

So what I want to let you do, is I want you to hit the edge of it. Dustin: For sure. Spontaneous glass breakage. Something like this can actually cause this piece of glass to break in six months, or in a year.

And if that got chipped at some point during the process of making it, and it still got installed, that can explain some crazy day where this piece of glass blows up. Those are a lot of times made of tempered glass. But that right there can cause an issue for sure down the road. Dustin: Alright, there you go. So with the right amount of force and hitting it at the right angle definitely causes the issue of having it come apart.

Similiar story with the sunroof exploding. Dustin: This is laminated. So laminated is a type of safety glass. Tempered, laminated, and then an acrylic or plexiglass, which is kind of a plastic base. So what we have here is two pieces of glass that are laminated together with a film- an adhesive film. And essentially this is annealed, or plate glass, on both sides. Dustin: So interesting fact: Almost everybody looks through this nearly every day because this is what your windshield is made out of.

But also we use this in a lot of areas for storefront. If you see a gas station that has been broken into, sometimes this is what we put in to deter thieves from getting in. We also use it in bullet-resistant glass. They laminate multiple pieces together. You can see where it broke from.

Just like most glass, you can always see where it spiderwebs from and where it goes. That actually looks a lot like what your windshield looks like when a big rock hits it, right?

Maybe not quite that extreme. Dustin: Correct. It also is really not likely to cut you. All of these runs that you see…. So what you can see is the interlayer. You can see the plastic interior of the laminate piece. It actually holds together really really well. It could. An IGU consists of two panes of glass with an air space in between.

Each piece of glass will have its own thickness and can be a certain type of glass such as laminated, acoustic-grade or standard glass. The air space also impacts the noise reduction somewhat — more space, less noise. There is no one answer to how much noise reduction occurs when you choose laminated, as there are other factors that will determine the overall effects.

However, to give you an idea of the impact of laminated glass for dampening unwanted sounds and vibrations, one 6. A complete IGU with 2 panes of standard glass, each with a 4 mm thickness plus 12 mm of air space for a total thickness of 20 mm , will achieve about 27 dB of reduction. Acoustic glass is a little different than laminated glass. Instead of the PVB interlayer, acoustic glass contains a special resin as an interlayer in between two sheets of glass.

And, you can get varying grades of acoustic glass by increasing the thickness of the resin interlayer and glass. In fact, you may not be able to detect an audible difference at all.

Because the difference is minimal, many property owners gravitate towards using laminated glass in their double glazing units rather than spending more on acoustic grade. Acoustic grade glass tends to be more expensive than standard laminated glass. Also, laminated is more well known for its superior safety and security features because it is so hard to shatter, let alone break, providing another highly valued window feature.

Varying the thicknesses will help to increase the sound dampening impact of your double glazed windows. In most cases, using one pane of laminated glass and one of standard glass of a different thickness is enough to block out most noise pollution issues. Some property owners believe they can save money by using laminated glass with secondary glazing.

After all, one pane of laminated glass will have a big impact on your noise troubles. Attaching it to the inside of your current window seems like a simple, affordable solution.

Inflammatory breast cancer IBC is an aggressive form of locally advanced breast cancer. Some women are more likely than others be diagnosed with IBC, including [ ]: Black and African American women Women who are obese Although some social media posts suggest IBC is a new form of breast cancer, it was first identified in the s [ ].

Learn about treatment for IBC. Warning signs of IBC Warning signs of IBC include [ ]: Swelling or enlargement of the breast Redness of the breast may also be a pinkish or purplish tone Dimpling or puckering of the skin of the breast Pulling in of the nipple Breast pain See images of these warning signs.

Biopsy and IBC diagnosis IBC may be diagnosed based on clinical appearance, but a biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. Prognosis for IBC Although survival rates for IBC may not be as high as for other breast cancers, modern treatments are improving prognosis [ ].

Learn about treatment for non-metastatic IBC. Lymph node status Most women with IBC have lymph node-positive breast cancer when they are diagnosed [ ].

Learn about clinical trials for IBC. Neoadjuvant before surgery therapy The first treatment for IBC is neoadjuvant chemotherapy , usually with an anthracycline-based chemotherapy and a taxane-based chemotherapy.

Surgery and radiation therapy Surgery for IBC is almost always a mastectomy with an axillary dissection. Surgery is followed by radiation therapy. Almost all women with IBC will need radiation therapy. Breast reconstruction With IBC, breast reconstruction is usually done after radiation therapy is completed, rather than at the same time as the mastectomy. Chemotherapy, hormone therapy and HER2-targeted therapy Treatments after surgery and radiation therapy depend on prior treatment and tumor characteristics [ 7 ]: If chemotherapy was not completed before surgery, the remaining chemotherapy is given after surgery.

Hormone receptor-positive IBC is treated with hormone therapy. Under study Treatments after neoadjuvant therapy for women with IBC who still have cancer in the breast at the time of surgery are under study. Questions for Your Health Care Provider.

Inflammatory breast cancer: What to know about this unique, aggressive breast cancer. Surgical Clinics of North America. Palliative care. At diagnosis, inflammatory breast cancer is either stage III or IV disease, depending on whether cancer cells have spread only to nearby lymph nodes or to other tissues as well.

Like other types of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer can occur in men, but usually at an older age than in women. Symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include swelling edema and redness erythema that affect a third or more of the breast.

The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised. In addition, the skin may have ridges or appear pitted, like the skin of an orange called peau d'orange. These symptoms are caused by the buildup of fluid lymph in the skin of the breast.

This fluid buildup occurs because cancer cells have blocked lymph vessels in the skin, preventing the normal flow of lymph through the tissue. Sometimes the breast may contain a solid tumor that can be felt during a physical exam, but more often a tumor cannot be felt. Other symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include a rapid increase in breast size; sensations of heaviness, burning, or tenderness in the breast; or a nipple that is inverted facing inward.

Swollen lymph nodes may also be present under the arm, near the collarbone, or both. It is important to note that these symptoms may also be signs of other diseases or conditions, such as an infection, injury, or another type of breast cancer that is locally advanced. For this reason, women with inflammatory breast cancer often have a delayed diagnosis of their disease. Inflammatory breast cancer can be difficult to diagnose. Often, there is no lump that can be felt during a physical exam or seen in a screening mammogram.

In addition, most women diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer have dense breast tissue, which makes cancer detection in a screening mammogram more difficult. Also, because inflammatory breast cancer is so aggressive, it can arise between scheduled screening mammograms and progress quickly. The symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer may be mistaken for those of mastitis, which is an infection of the breast, or another form of locally advanced breast cancer.

To help prevent delays in diagnosis and in choosing the best course of treatment, an international panel of experts published guidelines on how doctors can diagnose and stage inflammatory breast cancer correctly. Their recommendations are summarized below. Proper diagnosis and staging of inflammatory breast cancer helps doctors develop the best treatment plan and estimate the likely outcome of the disease. Patients diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer may want to consult a doctor who specializes in this disease.

Inflammatory breast cancer is generally treated first with systemic chemotherapy to help shrink the tumor, then with surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy. This approach to treatment is called a multimodal approach.

Studies have found that women with inflammatory breast cancer who are treated with a multimodal approach have better responses to therapy and longer survival. Treatments used in a multimodal approach may include those described below. The prognosis, or likely outcome, for a patient diagnosed with cancer is often viewed as the chance that the cancer will be treated successfully and that the patient will recover completely.

Because inflammatory breast cancer usually develops quickly and spreads aggressively to other parts of the body, women diagnosed with this disease, in general, do not survive as long as women diagnosed with other types of breast cancer. Women who have inflammatory breast cancer are encouraged to talk with their doctor about their prognosis, given their particular situation.

Ongoing research, especially at the molecular level, will increase our understanding of how inflammatory breast cancer begins and progresses. This knowledge should enable the development of new treatments and more accurate prognoses for women diagnosed with this disease.

It is important, therefore, that women who are diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer talk with their doctor about the option of participating in a clinical trial.

NCI sponsors clinical trials of new treatments for all types of cancer, as well as trials that test better ways to use existing treatments. Participation in clinical trials is an option for many patients with inflammatory breast cancer, and all patients with this disease are encouraged to consider treatment in a clinical trial. People interested in taking part in a clinical trial should talk with their doctor.

If the diagnosis is delayed, the cancer can spread to distant sites. If you have any of these symptoms, it does not mean that you have IBC, but you should see a doctor right away.

If inflammatory breast cancer IBC is suspected, one or more of the following imaging tests may be done:. Sometimes a photo of the breast is taken to help record the amount of redness and swelling before starting treatment. Breast cancer is diagnosed by a biopsy , taking out a small piece of the breast tissue and looking at it in the lab. Your physical exam and other tests may show findings that are "suspicious for" IBC, but only a biopsy can tell for sure that it is cancer.

I do think my favorites are Saint Laurent sneakers though. What made you choose the Saint Laurent Court Classic sneakers? I had my eye on them for a few months but held off getting them for a while as I tend to reach for a chunkier sneaker.

Mine are true to size but I have pretty narrow feet and my next pair will probably be a half size bigger! I usually style my sandals with pretty dresses but they also work well with straight-leg denim and a nice top.
