C-reactive protein (CRP) is an ancient highly conserved molecule and a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. CRP is secreted by the liver in response to a variety of inflammatory cytokines. Levels of CRP increase very rapidly in response to trauma, inflammation, and infection and decrease just as rapidly with the resolution of the condition. Thus, the measurement of CRP is widely used to monitor various inflammatory states. CRP binds to damaged tissue, to nuclear antigens and to certain pathogenic organisms in a calcium-dependent manner.
The function of CRP is felt to be related to its role in the innate immune system. Similar to immunoglobulin (Ig)G, it activates complement, binds to Fc receptors and acts as an opsonin for various pathogens. Interaction of CRP with Fc receptors leads to the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines that enhance the inflammatory response. Unlike IgG, which specifically recognizes distinct antigenic epitopes, CRP recognizes altered self and foreign molecules based on pattern recognition. Thus, CRP is though to act as a surveillance molecule for altered self and certain pathogens. This recognition provides early defense and leads to a proinflammatory signal and activation of the humoural, adaptive immune system.
Principle of CRP Test
The C-Reactive Protein test is based on the principle of the latex agglutination. When latex particles complexed human anti-CRP are mixed with a patient’s serum containing C reactive proteins, an visible agglutination reaction will take place within 2 minutes.
Uses of CRP Test
CRP may be used to detect or monitor significant inflammation in an individual who is suspected of having an acute condition, such as serious bacterial infection like sepsis, a fungal infection and Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
The CRP test is useful in monitoring people with chronic inflammatory conditions to detect flare-ups and/or to determine if treatment is effective. Some examples include Inflammatory bowel disease, some forms of arthritis and Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or vasculitis.
The determination of the CRP-level is useful to monitor the therapy.
It is done to check for infection after surgery. CRP levels normally rise within 2 to 6 hours of surgery and then go down by the third day after surgery. If CRP levels stay elevated 3 days after surgery, an infection may be present.
Tried out the Oil Paint filter of my new Photoshop CS6 software. This new feature of Photoshop makes a photo look like an oil painting, as can be seen above.

Inside the museum you can test soft drinks from the Coca-Cola Company from all over the world. It's very interesting!
Softdrinks testen
Im Museum kann man alle Softdrinks der Coca-Cola Company testen. Softdrinks aus der ganzen Welt. Sehr interessant!
Massive thanks to Lana for helping me out.
This image is a test. Trying to test different poses and ideas to see what works best.
A shot using the regular popup flash on the Nikon D90 (left), then with the Lightscoop diffuser attached. Pretty nice. I'm thinking a lot more indoor shots are in my future.
Testing out the basic astrophotography setup. This was taken from in the city and there was a bit of atmospheric disturbance but it's something to build on.
First test shots with my newly IR converted Nikon D60. Photos are straight out of the camera with only cropping and sharpness adjustments.
Thanks to Fatigue from Clubsnap.com for the excellent job on the conversion.
Big state science test today for 5th grade. My students are used to seeing my silly side. Ok... so are my friends. Oh, and also my family. Hee Hee! Just can't hide it.

Lens test images, photographed with a Rokuoh Sha Hexar Ser IIa 20cm f/3.5 lens (s/n 3795) (originally from a SK-100 aerial camera), fitted with a series of spacers and adapters to a Nikon D800. The lens achieves focus from 4.5 m to infinity (and with an additional spacer from 1.5–3m).

Prepping for a Qumu live broadcast to London at the end of the month. The good folks at NewTek loaned me a Tricaster860 for the test. It is a little bit overkill for my needs. Somewhat like needing a Yugo and borrowing a Ferrari. An incredible piece of technology. I will miss it when I take it back.
Testosterone Therapy Review Daniel Palm Beach Gardens FL
Dr. Mikhail Berman specializes in testosterone therapy at his Palm Beach Gardens clinic. In this video Daniel, a patient at the clinic, discusses why he came to see Dr. Berman and how testosterone replacement therapy has helped him in his work and everyday life.
To learn more about TRT therapy and the symptoms of low testosterone, visit the Signs and Symptoms page on the practice website. To schedule a consultation with Dr, Berman about starting testosterone therapy in Palm Beach Gardens, call the practice during in normal business hours at (561) 841-1837.
"When I first came to see the doctor I was tired and depressed all the time. Every aspect of my life was being affected. As soon as I started on this program my sleep improved, I had energy and a better attitude. My sex life also improved. I am able to get to work and accomplish more now with less fatigue and faster recovery. It's ridiculous to think you are less of a man because you have low testosterone. It's a very comfortable atmosphere without any pressure. I would recommend this program to anyone who is tired or depressed. It really helps."

Fujicolor Pro 400H, home developed (which is apparently why it looks like shit), run through my Pentax 67.
Detail photograph of screens during the virtual reality test run of an autonomous vehicle at Mcity on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
For this test, Shengyin Shen, research engineer, Xintao Yan, Haojie Zhu, and Haowei Sun, all civil engineering PhD students, who are members of Heny Liu’s research team used artificial intelligence to train virtual vehicles to challenge autonomous vehicles using adversarial behaviors. There are rare events that happen on the road that current autonomous vehicles cannot handle because it takes billions of miles to collect the needed data. By creating virtual vehicles that the autonomous vehicle responds to as if they were real, the time and mileage needed for testing is dramatically reduced.

Sometimes what’s out of focus can make the shot. Create a photograph today where some/all of your subject isn't in focus.
These computers live in the testing department at work. My intention was to capture the cascading motion of the "Matrix" screen saver in a blur of green drippy numbers and letters. But it was the bright red lights that caught my eye when I uploaded the photo. At first, I thought they were reflections from my camera. But on closer inspection, one is actually the light on a mouse, and the other, my favorite part of the whole photo, is the EXIT sign at the far end of the room, reflected a little bit blurry and backwards, in the monitor! :-)
