AppId is over the quota
Better late than never. The Fringe team has their final confrontation with David Robert Jones and learns the identity of the real mastermind in an entertaining, albeit fairly cluttered, episode.
The Plot: The Fringe Team is called in to evaluate a cluster of cases of spontaneous combustion at a nearby convention center. Walter initially suspects a viral infection, but when he realizes the infection was caught from the handrail on the escalator and locates the source, he determines the victims have actually been infected with nanites. Video surveillance shows that David Robert Jones planted the nanites in the escalator, but after looking over the nanites, Walter recognizes them as the work of William Bell.
In this universe, William Bell died in a car crash seven years before, but Walter is insistent that Bell must still be alive and tells the rest of the team that William visited him at St. Claire’s Hospital after he was supposed to be dead. A visit to the hospital shows no evidence of Bell visiting, but Walter keeps the sign-in log for good measure.
The viewers quickly realize that Walter is right and William Bell is still alive, and the Jones is working for him. After some clumsy metaphors about chess, Bell tells Jones that it is time to take out the Bishop. Soon, a bright powerful beam of light comes down from the sky, burning everything in its path. Walter and Peter realize that it is caused by satellites reflecting the sun’s rays and Walter is able to track down the source of the transmission controlling the satellite. Peter and Olivia head off to the transmission sight – antennas on two nearby buildings. They each climb to the roof of one building and shut down the transmitters, but Peter is jumped by Jones. Olivia is able to use her Cortexiphan abilities to take control of Peter’s body and beat Jones senseless. Jones then disintegrates into powder, remarking that he was the Bishop being taken off the board.
Back in his lab, Walter, with help from Astrid, cow’s brains, and an EZ Bake oven, determine that Bell did visit the asylum, leaving behind a trace of his favorite snack – almonds – on the sign-in log. Walter and Astrid head off to the almond warehouse in an attempt to track down Bell. They succeed too well – finding both Bell and some armed goons – and Astrid receives a gut shot as the episode ends.
1. Flame On!
Not quite classic spontaneous combustion. In this case, only their cheeks and respiratory system (or maybe GI system) burnt up – they didn’t all spontaneously burst in to flame.
2. Forget Minute Rice, Try Our Minute Cultures!
That’s way too short an amount of time to declare an area free of airborne germs. Well, unless you’re using a tricorder. Mabey Nimoy brought one with him.
3. Must Be Empty, And Very Understaffed
St. Claire’s hasn’t reassigned the room, or at least cleaned the desk, in the four years since Walter left?
4. And Lets Not Forget the Foreshadowing: Almonds = Cyanide
If William didn’t sign the page of the ledger, then why is his almond-residue on it? And why is only his snack on there? Surely someone else had eaten before touching the ledger.
5. My Get Rich Quick Plan Continues
Tonight’s episode is just more proof that the best way to make money in the Fringe universe is to own empty warehouses.
6. Don’t Try This At Home Kids
It’s not that easy to relocate a shoulder — in fact, I doubt Peter would have the strength to do it the way shown — especially with a posterior dislocation like Peter suffered. (Now if Peter has suffered multiple posterior dislocations before, his shoulder could pop in and out of socket easier than normal, though with all the fights he’s been in, you’d think we’d have seen that before.)
7. Have A Bigger Party, There’s More Than Enough XP To Go Around
It never occurs to Peter and Olivia they might need back up? They have access to an entire FBI division, after all.
8. Loaves and Fishes Lemon Cake and Pigs Brains
Cortexiphan now has regenerative properties? Hasn’t seemed to do much for Olivia in the past, though it does completely restore that tissue lemon cake really easily. Forget telekinesis, Walter has solved the world’s hunger problem.
A good episode, but there was enough here to spread it out over another episode. The Fringe Doomsday Clock remains at 11:54.
The Ritchie Centre, Monash Institute of Medical Research, Monash University, Melbourne, AustraliaReceived 9 December 2011. Revised 20 April 2012. Accepted 20 April 2012. Available online 29 May 2012.View full text Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a common disorder in both adults and children and is caused by the obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Unlike adults, most cases of paediatric SDB are due to the presence of enlarged tonsils and adenoids, thus the main treatment option is adenotonsillectomy (T&A). It is well known that obstructive sleep apnoea in adults increases the risk for hypertension, coronary artery disease and stroke, and there is now mounting evidence that SDB also has a significant impact on the cardiovascular system in children with reports of elevated blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction and altered autonomic cardiovascular control. As there is now substantial evidence that elevated blood pressure in childhood is carried on to adulthood it is important to know if treatment of SDB improves cardiovascular outcomes. Studies in adults have shown that treatment of SDB leads to improvements in cardiovascular function, including a reduction in pulmonary artery pressure, systemic blood pressure and endothelial dysfunction. However, studies exploring the outcomes of treatment of SDB in children on the cardiovascular system are limited and varied in their methodology and outcome measures. As a number of cardiovascular disturbances are sequelae of SDB, early detection and management could result in the reduction of elevated blood pressure in children, and consequently a reduction in cardiovascular morbidity in adulthood. The aim of this review is to summarise the findings of studies to date which have investigated the cardiovascular outcomes in children treated for SDB and to make recommendations for future management of this very common disease.prs.rt("abs_end");Adenotonsillectomy; Blood pressure; Cardiovascular; Children; Hypoxaemia; Inflammation; Obstructive sleep apnoea; Sleep disordered breathing; Treatment
