Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is home to Cloaca Professional — also known as the poo machine.
The large assembly of hanging vessels connected by tubes is the work of Belgian conceptual artist Wim Delvoye, which was unveiled at MONA in Hobart, Tasmania in 2010 as a permanent exhibit.
Specially commissioned by MONA's founder David Walsh, Cloaca replicates the gastroenterological journey food takes, beginning at mastication and ending several hours later in defecation, complete with the authentic smell.
Visitors to MONA are invited to view the "feeding" twice a day, where a staff member places small portions of food into a receptacle where it is ingested, slowly passing through a range of processes before it emerges at the other end of the machine as faecal matter, daily about 2:00pm.
Professional Cloaca has been filmed and screened to promote Australia's National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. The purpose of the screening was to demonstrate the simplicity of the test, which most Australians over 50 have had posted to them.
The test involves analysing a small sample of faeces for the presence of microscopic amounts of blood, not visible to the naked eye, with follow-up testing occurring depending on the results. Thus Professional Cloaca can be credited with saving lives. Yes, it is the smelliest exhibit we have encountered in any gallery!
There is a superhighway between the brain and GI system that holds great sway over humans
"There is a muscle that encircles the gut like a lasso when we are sitting… creating a kink in the tube," Giulia Enders explains in Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ. She calls the mechanism "an extra insurance policy, in addition to our old friends, the sphincters" (you have two sphincters – keep reading) and cites studies showing that squatters, with their unkinked guts, are less susceptible to haemorrhoids and constipation.Enders, a 25-year-old student at the Institute for Microbiology in Frankfurt, inside an underground public lavatory in central London. "Is there a toilet in this toilet?" she asks when she arrives. There is not, a barista tells her. The Victorian urinals, abandoned in the 1960s, have been converted into cafe with booths and stools, and no room for anything else.After a dash to a pub loo above ground, Enders talks with infectious energy about the wonder of the gut. She has been delighted to discover how many people share her fascination with a subject that can suffer for being taboo. "Even today in the taxi, I told the driver what I was doing and within about two minutes he was telling me about his constipation," she says in perfect English, which she owes to a year of study in the US. "And it's not just him. It's ladies with chic hair at big gala dinners, too. Everyone wants to talk about it."Enders first got noticed after a self-assured turn at a science slam in Berlin three years ago. Her 10-minute lecture went viral on YouTube, and now, weeks after completing her final exams as a doctoral student, she is a publishing sensation. Her book, called Darm Mit Charme ("Charming Bowels") in Germany, has sold more than 1.3 million copies since it came out last year. Rights have been sold to dozens of countries.
Her way into the gut is a lightness that some reviewers have found too childish or lacking in scientific rigour to be taken seriously. But there is something compelling and refreshing about her curiosity and popular approach. "When I read the research, I think, why don't people know about this – why am I reading about it in some paper or specialist magazine? It's ridiculous because everyone has to deal with it on a daily basis." After she explains the inspiration for her fixation (the suicide of an acquaintance who had had severe halitosis, and her own teenage skin condition, which turned out to have been caused by a wheat intolerance) Enders starts at the end of the digestive tract with what she calls the "masterly performance" that is defecation. "There is so much about the anus that we don't know," she says, reaching for a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. "The first surprise is the sophistication of our sphincters… you know about the outer one because you can control it, but the inner one nobody knows about."
This inner opening is beyond our conscious control, releasing waste material into a sort of anal vestibule where, in Enders words, "a small taster" hits sensor cells that tell the body what it's dealing with and how to respond using the outer sphincter. This opening, and our mouths, are the recognisable and controllable ends of a system that, stretched out, would be almost as long as a bus. But it's the bits in between, and their link with the rest of our bodies, including our brains and emotions, that really interest Enders.
"Medical diagrams show the small intestine as a sausage thing chaotically going through our belly," she says. "But it is an extraordinary work of architecture that moves so harmonically when you see it during surgery. It's clean and smooth, like soft fabric, and moves like this." She performs a wavy, pulsating motion with her hands. Enders believes that if we could think differently about the gut, we might more readily understand its role beyond basic digestion – and be kinder to it. The great extent to which the gut can influence health and mood is a growing field in medicine. We speak of it all the time, whether we describe "gut feelings", "butterflies in our stomachs", or "pooing our pants" in fear, but popular understanding of this gut-brain axis remains low.
A primal connection exists between our brain and our gut. We often talk about a “gut feeling” when we meet someone for the first time. We’re told to “trust our gut instinct” when making a difficult decision or that it’s “gut check time” when faced with a situation that tests our nerve and determination. This mind-gut connection is not just metaphorical. Our brain and gut are connected by an extensive network of neurons and a highway of chemicals and hormones that constantly provide feedback about how hungry we are, whether or not we’re experiencing stress, or if we’ve ingested a disease-causing microbe. This information superhighway is called the brain-gut axis and it provides constant updates on the state of affairs at your two ends. That sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach after looking at your postholiday credit card bill is a vivid example of the brain-gut connection at work. You’re stressed and your gut knows it—immediately.
The enteric nervous system is often referred to as our body’s second brain. There are hundreds of million of neurons connecting the brain to the enteric nervous system, the part of the nervous system that is tasked with controlling the gastrointestinal system. This vast web of connections monitors the entire digestive tract from the esophagus to the anus. The enteric nervous system is so extensive that it can operate as an independent entity without input from our central nervous system, although they are in regular communication. While our “second” brain cannot compose a symphony or paint a masterpiece the way the brain in our skull can, it does perform an important role in managing the workings of our inner tube. The network of neurons in the gut is as plentiful and complex as the network of neurons in our spinal cord, which may seem overly complex just to keep track of digestion. Why is our gut the only organ in our body that needs its own “brain”? Is it just to manage the process of digestion? Or could it be that one job of our second brain is to listen in on the trillions of microbes residing in the gut?
Operations of the enteric nervous system are overseen by the brain and central nervous system. The central nervous system is in communication with the gut via the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system, the involuntary arm of the nervous system that controls heart rate, breathing, and digestion. The autonomic nervous system is tasked with the job of regulating the speed at which food transits through the gut, the secretion of acid in our stomach, and the production of mucus on the intestinal lining. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, or HPA axis, is another mechanism by which the brain can communicate with the gut to help control digestion through the action of hormones.
This circuitry of neurons, hormones, and chemical neurotransmitters not only sends messages to the brain about the status of our gut, it allows for the brain to directly impact the gut environment. The rate at which food is being moved and how much mucus is lining the gut—both of which can be controlled by the central nervous system—have a direct impact on the environmental conditions the microbiota experiences.
Like any ecosystem inhabited by competing species, the environment within the gut dictates which inhabitants thrive. Just as creatures adapted to a moist rain forest would struggle in the desert, microbes relying on the mucus layer will struggle in a gut where mucus is exceedingly sparse and thin. Bulk up the mucus, and the mucus-adapted microbes can stage a comeback. The nervous system, through its ability to affect gut transit time and mucus secretion, can help dictate which microbes inhabit the gut. In this case, even if the decisions are not conscious, it’s mind over microbes.
What about the microbial side? When the microbiota adjusts to a change in diet or to a stress-induced decrease in gut transit time, is the brain made aware of this modification? Does the brain-gut axis run in one direction only, with all signals going from brain to gut, or are some signals going the other way? Is that voice in your head that is asking for a snack coming from your mind or is it emanating from the insatiable masses in your bowels? Recent evidence indicates that not only is our brain “aware” of our gut microbes, but these bacteria can influence our perception of the world and alter our behavior. It is becoming clear that the influence of our microbiota reaches far beyond the gut to affect an aspect of our biology few would have predicted—our mind.
For example, the gut microbiota influences the body’s level of the potent neurotransmitter serotonin, which regulates feelings of happiness. Some of the most prescribed drugs in the U.S. for treating anxiety and depression, like Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil, work by modulating levels of serotonin. And serotonin is likely just one of a numerous biochemical messengers dictating our mood and behavior that the microbiota impacts.
Most of us can relate to the experience of having butterflies in our stomach, or to a visceral gut-wrenching feeling, and how often are we told not to ignore our “gut-instinct” or “gut-feeling” when making a decision.
Even from our simple slang, it’s clear just how symbolically connected the gut is to our emotions. Now, there’s tangible proof to support these popular metaphors.
We all have a microbiome, and they are as unique as our neural pathways
Research has shown that the body is actually composed of more bacteria than cells. We are more bug than human! Collectively, these trillions of bacteria are called the microbiome. Most of those bacteria reside in our gut, sometimes referred to as the gut microbiota, and they play multiple roles in our overall health.
The gut is no longer seen as an entity with the sole purpose of helping with all aspects of digestion. It’s also being considered as a key player in regulating inflammation and immunity.
A healthy gut consists of different iterations of bacteria for different people, and this diversity maintains wellness. A shift away from “normal” gut microbiota diversity is called dysbiosis, and dysbiosis may contribute to disease. In light of this, the microbiome has become the focus of much research attention as a new way of understanding autoimmune, gastrointestinal, and even brain disorders.
The benefit of a healthy gut is illustrated most effectively during early development. Research has indicated just how sensitive a fetus is to any changes in a mother’s microbiotic makeup, so much so that it can alter the way a baby’s brain develops. If a baby is born via cesarean section, it misses an opportunity to ingest the mother’s bacteria as it travels down the vaginal canal. Studies show that those born via c-section have to work to regain the same diversity in their microbiome as those born vaginally. Throughout our lives, our microbiome continues to be a vulnerable entity, and as we are exposed to stress, toxins, chemicals, certain diets, and even exercise, our microbiome fluctuates for better or worse.
The gut as second brain
Our gut microbiota play a vital role in our physical and psychological health via its own neural network: the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex system of about 100 million nerves found in the lining of the gut.
The ENS is sometimes called the “second brain,” and it actually arises from the same tissues as our central nervous system (CNS) during fetal development. Therefore, it has many structural and chemical parallels to the brain.
Our ENS doesn’t wax philosophical or make executive decisions like the gray shiny mound in our skulls. Yet, in a miraculously orchestrated symphony of hormones, neurotransmitters, and electrical impulses through a pathway of nerves, both “brains” communicate back and forth. These pathways include and involve endocrine, immune, and neural pathways.
At this point in time, even though the research is inchoate and complex, it is clear that the brain and gut are so intimately connected that it sometimes seems like one system, not two.
Our emotions play a big role in functional gastrointestinal disorders
Given how closely the gut and brain interact, it has become clear that emotional and psychosocial factors can trigger symptoms in the gut. This is especially true in cases when the gut is acting up and there’s no obvious physical cause.
The functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are a group of more than 20 chronic and hard to treat medical conditions of the gastrointestinal tract that constitute a large proportion of the presenting problems seen in clinical gastroenterology.
While FGID’s were once thought to be partly “in one’s head,” a more precise conceptualization of these difficulties posits that psychosocial factors influence the actual physiology of the gut, as well as the modulation of symptoms. In other words, psychological factors can literally impact upon physical factors, like the movement and contractions of the GI tract, causing, inflammation, pain, and other bowel symptoms.
Mental health impacts gut wellness
In light of this new understanding, it might be impossible to heal FGID’s without considering the impact of stress and emotion. Studies have shown that patients who tried psychologically based approaches had greater improvement in their symptoms compared with patients who received conventional medical treatment.
Along those lines, a new pilot study from Harvard University affiliates Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found that meditation could have a significant impact for those with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Forty-eight patients with either IBS or IBD took a 9-week session that included meditation training, and the results showed reduced pain, improved symptoms, stress reduction, and the change in expression of genes that contribute to inflammation.
Poor gut health can lead to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders
Vice-versa, poor gut health has been implicated in neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Disturbances in gut health have been linked to multiple sclerosis, autistic spectrum disorders, and Parkinson’s disease. This is potentially related to pro-inflammatory states elicited by gut dysbiosis-microbial imbalance on or inside the body. Additional connections between age-related gut changes and Alzheimer’s disease have also been made.
Further, there is now research that is dubbing depression as an inflammatory disorder mediated by poor gut health. In fact, multiple animal studies have shown that manipulating the gut microbiota in some way can produce behaviors related to anxiety and depression. (Maes, Kubera, Leunis, Berk, J. Affective Disorders, 2012 and Berk, Williams, Jacka, BMC Med, 2013).
Our brain’s health, which will be discussed in more depth in a later blog post, is dependent on many lifestyle choices that mediate gut health; including most notably diet (i.e., reduction of excess sugar and refined carbohydrates) and pre and probiotic intake.
The brain-gut connection has treatment implications
We are now faced with the possibility of both prevention and treatment of neurological/neuropsychiatric difficulties via proper gut health. On the flip side, stress-reduction and other psychological treatments can help prevent and treat gastrointestinal disorders. This discovery can potentially lead to reduced morbidity, impairment, and chronic dependency on health care resources.
The most empowering aspect to the gut-brain connection is the understanding that many of our daily lifestyle choices play a role in mediating our overall wellness. This whole-body approach to healthcare and wellness continues to show its value in our longevity, well-being, and quality of life: that both physical and mental health go hand-in-hand.
this is how you would see me if i am about to do your gastroscopy! lol!

Please ... no applause for me. Mr T is the one who rescued this tart! I followed the recipe to the nearest berry ... creamed, whisked, greased tin, oven cooked for the said amount of time. The tart looked very good - I dusted it with icing sugar. All was fine till I tried to remove it from the bottom of the tin ... it was not cooked underneath.
Ho hum ... I piled the sorry mess into a couple of bowls. Cooked some more berries - then handed it over to Mr T (who is a much better cook!) to rescue. The last photo is of our salvaged pudding - raspberry and blueberry crumble with a lovely frangipane and crumble topping - it was very tasty!
Here's the recipe in case you feel adventurous. I hope you have better luck than I did. The bits that were cooked tasted very nice!
Berry Frangipane Tart
75g softened butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 tbsp. gluten free cornflour
150g fresh raspberries and blueberries
2 tbsp. pure icing sugar
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
Grease 6 5.5cm x 10cm loose based fluted flan tins and place on oven tray.
2. Mix the butter, vanilla extract and caster sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until combined. Add the egg and mix through.
3. Gently mix in the ground almonds and cornflour and mix until smooth. Spoon mixture into tins; smooth surface and sprinkle with berries.
4. Bake tarts for about 30 mins or until golden brown and firm to touch. Stand in tins until cool to touch; turn carefully, topside up, onto the bench. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
"Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) affecting one in seven Australian adults and is also common in the USA, Europe and many Asian countries. This condition is characterised by chronic and relapsing symptoms; lower abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, wind, distension and altered bowel habit (ranging from diarrhoea to constipation) but with no abnormal pathology. The diagnosis of IBS/FGID should be made by a medical practitioner.
The research team at Monash University have developed a diet to control gastrointestinal symptoms associated with IBS/FGID. The team has focused on a group of carbohydrates they have named FODMAPs (stands for Fermentable Oligo-saccharides, Disaccharides, Mono-saccharides and Polyols).
FODMAPs can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine. Mal-absorbed carbohydrates are fermented by gut bacteria to produce gas. Current research strongly suggests that this group of carbohydrates contributes to IBS/FGID symptoms. FODMAPs are found in a wide range of foods." www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/
I have to say a huge thank you to my hubby Mr T and also to the research team at Monash University ... I am on week three of this diet and, touch wood, it seems to be helping!

“I thought you’d never ask.”
If that had been Randy Duncan’s reaction when Roosevelt called to inform him he’d been tabbed for induction into the Roughrider Hall of Fame it would have been understandable. After all, Duncan was inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 1976 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997. What took so long for his old high school to come calling? Maybe it was just a case of everyone assuming he must have been a made a charter member when the shrine was established in 1986.
Actually, his omission until now was hardly an oversight. He’s been nominated more than once and declined, a testament to the humility that is the inverse of his many accomplishments. The reason he relented this time around and accepted is because he was nominated by a current Roosevelt student.
Duncan, Class of 1955, was one of two inductees honored at the school today with a morning assembly followed by a luncheon.
He was a two-sport standout in high school. During his tenure Roosevelt’s football team lost only two games and was crowned state champs in 1954. He was also an excellent basketball player and led the Riders to a state runner-up finish on the hardwood in his senior year.
Concentrating on football at the University of Iowa, Duncan led the Hawkeyes to two Rose Bowl victories, finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting and famously smooched blonde bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield, something his high school sweetheart and wife of more than fifty years, Paula, was apparently able to overlook. Duncan became the only Iowan ever to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft when he finished at Iowa and was selected by the Green Bay Packers. While playing for the Dallas Texans of the old AFL, Duncan entered law school at Southern Methodist University, eventually returning to Des Moines to complete his law degree at Drake University when his football career ended.
He has practiced law in Des Moines for over fifty years, and remains a partner at the firm of Duncan, Green, Brown and Langeness. Currently, he devotes most of his time to pro bono work on behalf of the less fortunate. In the 1970’s he successfully represented Roosevelt student athletes who challenged the school district’s eligibility policies. Some members of the girls’ swim team had competed all season as 9th graders at a time when middle school was still known as junior high and spanned grades 7-9. District policies forbade students who did not attend a high school from representing that school at state meets even if they otherwise qualified.
Duncan’s remarks to the current Roosevelt students were characteristically brief and self-effacing. He encouraged them to ignore anyone who tries to tell them their opportunities are limited and he spoke from the personal experience of someone who has always distinguished himself by eluding whoever and whatever tried to bring him down.
Joining one of the all-time great TRHS jocks in enshrinement this year is former pom-pom girl, Dr. Kathleen Schwarz, Class of 1960, the Director of the Pediatric Liver Center and a Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. She also directs the pediatric liver transplant program at that world renowned hospital.
At the time of her high school graduation, women doctors were rare, a fact that was noted in Dr. Schwarz’ nomination, filed on her behalf by seven of her old TRHS classmates. She joins her older sister Julie Brogan Northrup, who was inducted in 1989, as the only pair of siblings in the Roosevelt HOF. So their rivalry goes on. Dr. Schwarz told her audience that she wanted to be a doctor early on because a brother she never knew succumbed to cancer at the age of three, a year before she was born.
Dr. Schwarz’ induction is just the latest in a string of recognitions. In 2012, she was elected President of the Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition; in 2011, she received the Washington University Medical School Alumni Achievement Award and she is a past recipient of the Scripps College Lois Langland Alumna-in-Residence Award.
"The TRHS community is extremely proud of Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz. These extremely accomplished alumni serve as examples to our students that you can dream big and find success in many ways," said Kathie Danielson, Roosevelt Principal.
Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz are the 62nd and 63rd inductees since the Roosevelt Foundation established the Hall of Fame to recognize and honor outstanding alums. Their places are long-reserved and well-deserved.

The Lister Hospital in Chelsea is a private hospital in Chelsea Bridge Road, London. It is owned by the Hospital Corporation of America, the largest private operator of health care facilities in the world, and so is not part of the National Health Service (NHS).
Opened in 1985, the hospital occupies the former premises of the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine; both were named in honour of Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister, a British surgeon considered to be the pioneer of aseptic surgery. It has 57 beds in inpatient wards on three floors and a six-bedded Critical Care Unit and specialises in orthopaedics, gynaecology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and plastic surgery, and also runs a fertility clinic. It generates revenue per bed of circa £1 million a year.

MEDICARE PART B: Expenditures for New Drugs Concentrated among a Few Drugs, and Most Were Costly for Beneficiaries
Notes: We identified new Part B drugs using the list of new molecular entities and new biologics approved by FDA from 2006 through 2013 and comparing it with CMS's Part B pricing files.
We excluded vaccines for influenza and haemophilus influenzae as well as drugs billed using not otherwise classified drug codes from our identification of these drugs.
We categorized drugs' approved treatment conditions into 14 categories. Drugs used in diagnostic imaging were categorized as their own condition category. The "other" category includes the following conditions, each of which had fewer than three drugs approved from 2006 through 2013: neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, orthopedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and vaccines.
Gastroenterology focuses on the digestive system and its related issue. It covers the entire gamut of diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract – organs from mouth to anus. If the digestive system did not work properly then the whole body was affected. In this condition, we can find the experienced gastrology doctor and Liver specialist doctor. Dr. Prasad Bhate has more than 10 years of experience in the field of Gastroenterology (Oesophagus, Stomach, and Intestines) and Hepatology (liver).

The Lister Hospital in Chelsea is a private hospital in Chelsea Bridge Road, London. It is owned by the Hospital Corporation of America, the largest private operator of health care facilities in the world, and so is not part of the National Health Service (NHS).
Opened in 1985, the hospital occupies the former premises of the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine; both were named in honour of Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister, a British surgeon considered to be the pioneer of aseptic surgery. It has 57 beds in inpatient wards on three floors and a six-bedded Critical Care Unit and specialises in orthopaedics, gynaecology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and plastic surgery, and also runs a fertility clinic. It generates revenue per bed of circa £1 million a year.

“I thought you’d never ask.”
If that had been Randy Duncan’s reaction when Roosevelt called to inform him he’d been tabbed for induction into the Roughrider Hall of Fame it would have been understandable. After all, Duncan was inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 1976 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997. What took so long for his old high school to come calling? Maybe it was just a case of everyone assuming he must have been a made a charter member when the shrine was established in 1986.
Actually, his omission until now was hardly an oversight. He’s been nominated more than once and declined, a testament to the humility that is the inverse of his many accomplishments. The reason he relented this time around and accepted is because he was nominated by a current Roosevelt student.
Duncan, Class of 1955, was one of two inductees honored at the school today with a morning assembly followed by a luncheon.
He was a two-sport standout in high school. During his tenure Roosevelt’s football team lost only two games and was crowned state champs in 1954. He was also an excellent basketball player and led the Riders to a state runner-up finish on the hardwood in his senior year.
Concentrating on football at the University of Iowa, Duncan led the Hawkeyes to two Rose Bowl victories, finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting and famously smooched blonde bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield, something his high school sweetheart and wife of more than fifty years, Paula, was apparently able to overlook. Duncan became the only Iowan ever to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft when he finished at Iowa and was selected by the Green Bay Packers. While playing for the Dallas Texans of the old AFL, Duncan entered law school at Southern Methodist University, eventually returning to Des Moines to complete his law degree at Drake University when his football career ended.
He has practiced law in Des Moines for over fifty years, and remains a partner at the firm of Duncan, Green, Brown and Langeness. Currently, he devotes most of his time to pro bono work on behalf of the less fortunate. In the 1970’s he successfully represented Roosevelt student athletes who challenged the school district’s eligibility policies. Some members of the girls’ swim team had competed all season as 9th graders at a time when middle school was still known as junior high and spanned grades 7-9. District policies forbade students who did not attend a high school from representing that school at state meets even if they otherwise qualified.
Duncan’s remarks to the current Roosevelt students were characteristically brief and self-effacing. He encouraged them to ignore anyone who tries to tell them their opportunities are limited and he spoke from the personal experience of someone who has always distinguished himself by eluding whoever and whatever tried to bring him down.
Joining one of the all-time great TRHS jocks in enshrinement this year is former pom-pom girl, Dr. Kathleen Schwarz, Class of 1960, the Director of the Pediatric Liver Center and a Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. She also directs the pediatric liver transplant program at that world renowned hospital.
At the time of her high school graduation, women doctors were rare, a fact that was noted in Dr. Schwarz’ nomination, filed on her behalf by seven of her old TRHS classmates. She joins her older sister Julie Brogan Northrup, who was inducted in 1989, as the only pair of siblings in the Roosevelt HOF. So their rivalry goes on. Dr. Schwarz told her audience that she wanted to be a doctor early on because a brother she never knew succumbed to cancer at the age of three, a year before she was born.
Dr. Schwarz’ induction is just the latest in a string of recognitions. In 2012, she was elected President of the Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition; in 2011, she received the Washington University Medical School Alumni Achievement Award and she is a past recipient of the Scripps College Lois Langland Alumna-in-Residence Award.
"The TRHS community is extremely proud of Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz. These extremely accomplished alumni serve as examples to our students that you can dream big and find success in many ways," said Kathie Danielson, Roosevelt Principal.
Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz are the 62nd and 63rd inductees since the Roosevelt Foundation established the Hall of Fame to recognize and honor outstanding alums. Their places are long-reserved and well-deserved.

I bet when the sign company got the work order for this sign they were ecstatic.
The sign was probably paid off after 1 or 2 colonoscopies 😆😆.

To see the fine structure of the surface anatomy of this beautiful 4x2.5x1.9-cm villous adenoma, choose the "All Sizes" tab, then "Original Size".
After fixing the opened and pinned-out colon resection specimen overnight in formalin, I covered it with reagent alcohol to shoot the photograph. Tissue sinks in alcohol, so you don't have to pin it down to the bottom of the container to keep it from floating to the surface. Also, it may be my imagination, but it seems to me that alcohol is a clearer medium that water.
The entire lesion was processed and examined microscopically. It consisted entirely of non-invasive adenoma with a predominantly villous architecture. Severe dysplasia was limited to a 0.3-cm focus near the apical aspect of the mass.
I am certain that most news-hungry people in this country, especially the younger generation, are keen to gather whatever possible information on the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and its affiliated bodies in view of the forthcoming CHOGM scheduled to be held in November 2013. Hence I wish to describe briefly the significance of the role played by the Commonwealth and its affiliated bodies in the philosophy of the Commonwealth.
The forthcoming CHOGM is said to be the biggest such event to be held in Sri Lanka after the Non-Aligned Conference in 1976. Such statements cannot be challenged.
However, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) cannot be compared to the CHOGM. The NAM came into existence as a result of the then ongoing Cold War between the two world powers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union and the countries respectively aligned to the two world powers.
CHOGM Summit in Perth, Australia
The Non-Aligned Movement was not established as a formal organisation, but became the name to refer to the participants of the Conference of Heads of State or Head of Government of Non-Aligned Countries first held in 1961. Former Indian Prime Minister the late Sri Jawharalal Nehru played a prominent role in the NAM. The NAM has a political flavour and has no headquarters of its own.
The Commonwealth is not a political movement. It is an association of 54 independent countries, almost all of which were former British Colonies. The Commonwealth concept can be considered as more important to the member nations than the NAM.
The Commonwealth is an association of sovereign nations which support one another and work together towards international goals. It is also a family of peoples. With their common heritage in
language, culture, law, education and democratic traditions,among other things, Commonwealth countries are able to work together in an atmosphere of greater trust and understanding than what generally prevails among nations.
The Commonwealth is often described as a ‘family’ of nations and People. The sense of family is most apparent in the wide network of societies, institutions, associations, organisations, funds and charities which support the Commonwealth.
This network links people of different nations, cultures, faces and economic levels, enabling engineers of nurses from different societies to explore and learn from their different yet related experience.

Commonwealth Parliamentary Association
The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) was founded in 1911 as the Empire Parliamentary Association. Evolving with the Commonwealth, the CPA adopted its present name in 1948. The Association is composed of branches formed in legislatures in Commonwealth countries, which subscribe to parliamentary democracy. Currently, the Association's parliamentary members of national, State, provincial and territorial parliaments stand at 164.
The Parliament of Sri Lanka has a branch of CPA, comprising all party representations. The CPA mission is to promote knowledge and understanding about parliamentary democracy with particular reference to Commonwealth countries, and further co-operation and consultation between Commonwealth parliaments. The CPA achieves its mission through the following activities: Conferences, seminars, workshops and training events, publications, providing information and Parliamentary visits.
The President of Sri Lankan Mahinda Rajapaksa officially inaugurated the 58th Parliamentary Conference (CPA) - Annual Conference - in Colombo on September 11, 2012. The Conference was held during the period September 7-15, 2012 with the participation of 800 Members of Parliaments including speakers representing 179 regions of 54 Commonwealth countries. The Sri Lankan Government had hosted the Annual CPA Conference in Colombo twice before, in 1974 and 1995.
Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies
The Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (ACLALS) was established to promote and coordinate Commonwealth Literature Studies, organise seminars and workshops, arrange lectures by writers and scholars, publish a newsletter about activities in the field of Commonwealth literature and hold a conference triennially. The last conference took place in St. Lucia, West Indies from August 5-9.
The Sri Lankan Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (SLACLALS) is headed by Prof. Ashley Halpe. The Sri Lanka Association for Commonwealth Literature and ACLALS were started in 1964 with a conference at the University of Leeds and was officially accredited to the Commonwealth in 2005.
The Sri Lanka branch of ACLALS, SLACLALS was created in the late 1970s under the guidance of Ashley Halpe who was Professor in English at the University of Ceylon at the time. The aims of SLACLALS are to encourage the study of and research into Commonwealth Literature and language with special reference to Sri Lanka and to support creative writing in English. SLACLALS had held several conferences and seminars over the years in Peradeniya, Colombo, Kandy and Sabaragamuwa.
The Association of Commonwealth Universities
The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU)is governed by its member institutions through an elected council. As the ACU is a UK-registered charity, Council members also act as its trustees. The ACU Council comprises up to 23 members: 20 elected Council members, up to two co-opted Council members and, if the Honorary Treasurer is co-opted rather than elected, the Honorary Treasurer.
Commonwealth Association of Architects
The Commonwealth Association of Architects [CAA] is a membership organisation for professional bodies representing architects in Commonwealth countries. Formed in 1965 to promote co-operation for ‘the advancement of architecture in the Commonwealth’ and particularly to share and increase architectural knowledge, it currently has 34 members.
Commonwealth Broadcasting Association
The Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) is a representative body for public service broadcasters throughout the Commonwealth, founded in 1945. A not-for-profit non-government organisation, the CBA is funded by subscriptions from 102 members and affiliates from 53 countries.
The stated goal of the CBA is to promote best practices in public service broadcasting and to foster freedom of expression. It also serves to provide support and assistance to its members through training, bursaries, consultancies, networking opportunities and materials for broadcast. Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation and the Capital Maharaja Organization Limited are Sri Lankan members.
Commonwealth Business Council
The Commonwealth Business Council (CBC) is an institution of the Commonwealth family that aims to use the global network of the Commonwealth of Nations more effectively for the promotion of global trade and investment for shared prosperity. It was formed at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in CHOGM 1997, in Edinburgh, United
Kingdom.
Commonwealth Dental Association
The Sri Lankan Dental Association bears the membership of the Commonwealth Dental Association (CDA). The CDA represents over half a million dentists who practice in Commonwealth countries across the World.
The Association aims to improve dental and oral health in the Commonwealth. It aims to develop and promote strategies to improve oral health care; to encourage the training of appropriate personnel, to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas, professional information and the emerging concept of oral health; to address problems of professional isolation in the non-industrialised Commonwealth countries and to stimulate continuing professional education.
CHOGM under Lankan Chairmanship 2013-2015
With the hosting of the CHOGM in Sri Lanka in November, the President of Sri Lanka will assume the role of its Chairmanship for the period 2013 to 2015 commencing in November. Therefore, the Government of Sri Lanka should strive to steer the Commonwealth programs clear of any foreseeable difficulties and or impediments. For that purpose, it is my belief that the Sri Lankan government should prepare a master plan for the implementation of Commonwealth programs during the next two years.
Despite the fact that many government and private institutions as well as professionals have participated at several seminars, workshops etc. conducted by Commonwealth Organizations abroad, unfortunately as at present we do not have any major commonwealth intuitions located in this country. Hence , it is my view, that in the national interest we should make use of this golden opportunity to establish one or more of the following organizations, as circumstances permit, in the country under the umbrella of the Commonwealth and encourage the commencement of awareness programmes covering the respective areas. .
I. Commonwealth Association of Youth Parliamentarians
II. Commonwealth Association of Professional Youth Workers (for which a proposal has already been submitted to the CYPt by Brian Belton).
III. Commonwealth Institute of Gem and Jewellery.

After all, Duncan was inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 1976 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997. What took so long for his old high school to come calling? Maybe it was just a case of everyone assuming he must have been a made a charter member when the shrine was established in 1986.
Actually, his omission until now was hardly an oversight. He’s been nominated more than once and declined, a testament to the humility that is the inverse of his many accomplishments. The reason he relented this time around and accepted is because he was nominated by a current Roosevelt student.
Duncan, Class of 1955, was one of two inductees honored at the school today with a morning assembly followed by a luncheon.
He was a two-sport standout in high school. During his tenure Roosevelt’s football team lost only two games and was crowned state champs in 1954. He was also an excellent basketball player and led the Riders to a state runner-up finish on the hardwood in his senior year.
Concentrating on football at the University of Iowa, Duncan led the Hawkeyes to two Rose Bowl victories, finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting and famously smooched blonde bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield, something his high school sweetheart and wife of more than fifty years, Paula, was apparently able to overlook. Duncan became the only Iowan ever to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft when he finished at Iowa and was selected by the Green Bay Packers. While playing for the Dallas Texans of the old AFL, Duncan entered law school at Southern Methodist University, eventually returning to Des Moines to complete his law degree at Drake University when his football career ended.
He has practiced law in Des Moines for over fifty years, and remains a partner at the firm of Duncan, Green, Brown and Langeness. Currently, he devotes most of his time to pro bono work on behalf of the less fortunate. In the 1970’s he successfully represented Roosevelt student athletes who challenged the school district’s eligibility policies. Some members of the girls’ swim team had competed all season as 9th graders at a time when middle school was still known as junior high and spanned grades 7-9. District policies forbade students who did not attend a high school from representing that school at state meets even if they otherwise qualified.
Duncan’s remarks to the current Roosevelt students were characteristically brief and self-effacing. He encouraged them to ignore anyone who tries to tell them their opportunities are limited and he spoke from the personal experience of someone who has always distinguished himself by eluding whoever and whatever tried to bring him down.
Joining one of the all-time great TRHS jocks in enshrinement this year is former pom-pom girl, Dr. Kathleen Schwarz, Class of 1960, the Director of the Pediatric Liver Center and a Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. She also directs the pediatric liver transplant program at that world renowned hospital.
At the time of her high school graduation, women doctors were rare, a fact that was noted in Dr. Schwarz’ nomination, filed on her behalf by seven of her old TRHS classmates. She joins her older sister Julie Brogan Northrup, who was inducted in 1989, as the only pair of siblings in the Roosevelt HOF. So their rivalry goes on. Dr. Schwarz told her audience that she wanted to be a doctor early on because a brother she never knew succumbed to cancer at the age of three, a year before she was born.
Dr. Schwarz’ induction is just the latest in a string of recognitions. In 2012, she was elected President of the Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition; in 2011, she received the Washington University Medical School Alumni Achievement Award and she is a past recipient of the Scripps College Lois Langland Alumna-in-Residence Award.
"The TRHS community is extremely proud of Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz. These extremely accomplished alumni serve as examples to our students that you can dream big and find success in many ways," said Kathie Danielson, Roosevelt Principal.
Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz are the 62nd and 63rd inductees since the Roosevelt Foundation established the Hall of Fame to recognize and honor outstanding alums. Their places are long-reserved and well-deserved.

Dr. Schwarz’ induction is just the latest in a string of recognitions. In 2012, she was elected President of the Federation of International Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition; in 2011, she received the Washington University Medical School Alumni Achievement Award and she is a past recipient of the Scripps College Lois Langland Alumna-in-Residence Award.
"The TRHS community is extremely proud of Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz. These extremely accomplished alumni serve as examples to our students that you can dream big and find success in many ways," said Kathie Danielson, Roosevelt Principal.
Mr. Duncan and Dr. Schwarz are the 62nd and 63rd inductees since the Roosevelt Foundation established the Hall of Fame to recognize and honor outstanding alums. Their places are long-reserved and well-deserved.
Ostomy is a tried and tested way to manage your waste excretion in case you are unable to do it through the natural bodily mechanism. But for many years, #ostomates remained worried about what would follow the ostomy surgery. I am talking about carrying the bag which collects urine or stool. Concealing that bag under the clothes is not something very difficult, but leakage and odor had really been the real concerns.
An ostomy mainly involves collection of bodily wastes through a #stoma which appears through the opening made in the abdominal wall. This stoma has to be exposed to the bag’s inner chamber where the stool or urine has to go. Leakage, which can also result odor emanating from the person with ostomy, can be quite a concern here. Aside from the odor, this leakage can cause irritation in the peristomal skin, skin around the stoma. The immediate disadvantage of this irritation is continuous pain and the ostomate’s overall inability to ensure better adhesion between the pouching system and the skin where pouching system has to be attached.
Thankfully, modern technology has been able to address this issue in quite an effective manner. If you talk about the supplies that were available a decade ago, you may argue their about inability to help you with the better ostomy management in a post-surgery scenario. But it is not the case anymore. You can manage your ostomy in much better way today. Modern technology has surely been very helpful but it has only a partly contribution to make in a case of successful ostomy management. The other half that you are going to have to work on is to make sure that you stay in contact with your ostomy care nurses. They are people who are equipped with every bit of information which you can use not only to prevent any issues with your ostomy but also to bring back things to normal in case you have got affected by any problem that tends to make the ostomy management a difficult affair.
The big reason why you need to consult your ostomy care nurse to get your #ostomy related issues addresses is that there are too many supplies available out there; and you don’t really have an idea what works best for you. For instance, there can be different pouching systems available for colostomy management; and each of those systems works in a specific way to benefit a specific type of colostomy case. Surely you don’t want to get confused here. All you have to do is to call your nurse for an appointment and ask them what solution will be the most suitable for you.
A very important part of your ostomy management is to have good knowledge about the suppliers from whom you can get your supplies shipped at your doorstep. That’d be great if there is a physical store nearby your residence. You can walk into the store and look through different options to pick one that is suitable for you. But adequate information about the suppliers can be more useful for you because it can give you the peace of mind while traveling away from your home.

“I thought you’d never ask.”
If that had been Randy Duncan’s reaction when Roosevelt called to inform him he’d been tabbed for induction into the Roughrider Hall of Fame it would have been understandable. After all, Duncan was inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 1976 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997. What took so long for his old high school to come calling? Maybe it was just a case of everyone assuming he must have been a made a charter member when the shrine was established in 1986.
Actually, his omission until now was hardly an oversight. He’s been nominated more than once and declined, a testament to the humility that is the inverse of his many accomplishments. The reason he relented this time around and accepted is because he was nominated by a current Roosevelt student.
Duncan, Class of 1955, was one of two inductees honored at the school today with a morning assembly followed by a luncheon.
He was a two-sport standout in high school. During his tenure Roosevelt’s football team lost only two games and was crowned state champs in 1954. He was also an excellent basketball player and led the Riders to a state runner-up finish on the hardwood in his senior year.
Concentrating on football at the University of Iowa, Duncan led the Hawkeyes to two Rose Bowl victories, finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting and famously smooched blonde bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield, something his high school sweetheart and wife of more than fifty years, Paula, was apparently able to overlook. Duncan became the only Iowan ever to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft when he finished at Iowa and was selected by the Green Bay Packers. While playing for the Dallas Texans of the old AFL, Duncan entered law school at Southern Methodist University, eventually returning to Des Moines to complete his law degree at Drake University when his football career ended.
He has practiced law in Des Moines for over fifty years, and remains a partner at the firm of Duncan, Green, Brown and Langeness. Currently, he devotes most of his time to pro bono work on behalf of the less fortunate. In the 1970’s he successfully represented Roosevelt student athletes who challenged the school district’s eligibility policies. Some members of the girls’ swim team had competed all season as 9th graders at a time when middle school was still known as junior high and spanned grades 7-9. District policies forbade students who did not attend a high school from representing that school at state meets even if they otherwise qualified.
Duncan’s remarks to the current Roosevelt students were characteristically brief and self-effacing. He encouraged them to ignore anyone who tries to tell them their opportunities are limited and he spoke from the personal experience of someone who has always distinguished himself by eluding whoever and whatever tried to bring him down.
Joining one of the all-time great TRHS jocks in enshrinement this year is former pom-pom girl, Dr. Kathleen Schwarz, Class of 1960, the Director of the Pediatric Liver Center and a Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. She also directs the pediatric liver transplant program at that world renowned hospital.
At the time of her high school graduation, women doctors were rare, a fact that was noted in Dr. Schwarz’ nomination, filed on her behalf by seven of her old TRHS classmates. She joins her older sister Julie Brogan Northrup, who was inducted in 1989, as the only pair of siblings in the Roosevelt HOF. So their rivalry goes on. Dr. Schwarz told her audience that she wanted to be a doctor early on because a brother she never knew succumbed to cancer at the age of three, a year before she was born.

Apparently I have a Mixed Type 5cm Hiatus Hernia! I have been suffering dysphagia and heartburn so my GP sent me for an Endoscopy to diagnose why.
This picture is one of two that accompany the report from the Gastroenterologist to my GP. They are from inside me, but apart from that, and that I did not enjoy them being taken, I know nothing about them. Does anyone feel like telling me what we're looking at?
