I was back in downtown Cincinnati for the third time this year and the Cincy Comic Expo keeps getting bigger and better! We had Stan Lee, bitches! Stan’s line was nearly four hours long and kept growing.$#*! My Dad Says, 12 Monkeys, 18If, 2001: A Space Odyssey, 24, 3rd Rock from the Sun, 77 Sunset Strip (TV Show - 1958), A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Accelerator, A Certain Scientific Railgun, A Twist in the Tale, A.I.C.O. I had the Jimmy Olsen to my Clark Kent, my buddy Steve with me this year, and there was so much to see and do. Before we even entered the building, we found two energetic chaps frothing at the mouth to get the Cincy Comic Expo exclusives this year – we had exclusive comics! Seriously, the venue seemed to expand and add even more areas to explore, more places to sit and more cool things to look at than ever before. Okay, celebrities! It’s so hard to get a celeb, a true legit celeb to a comic con but this year, they outdid themselves: Original Darth Vader, David Prowse, Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), and Lando (Billy Dee) were all on hand, as well as Admiral Ackbar (It’s a trap!) and Nien Nunb! Star Wars seemed to be the prevailing theme over the con this year as tons of cosplayers strode around in their galaxy best. The Stan Lee line was truly crazy, as was the line for Deadpool creator, Rob Liefield. But another long line was for the amazing 360 Degree Camera booth it was here last year and made a triumphant return – take a look at the photos here. I found a couple that really caught my eye. Check these photos out (especially if you’re a Bishock fan)… When I wasn’t busy buying up memorabilia, my favorite thing to do at these events is to find one of kind items by super creative people looking to bring some geeky joy to collectors and fans alike. I talked to his guy and his wife for a bit, tremendous artist who draws these pictures, then screens them, makes about 50 copies, then destroys the screens so that design can never be duplicated. ![]() ![]() Check out the link to for the rest of his catalogue.Īnything Zelda-related catches my eye, so when I see a map of Hyrule from A Link to the Past drawn on faded and ripped paper, the geek in me rises up and takes precedence: Check out the below photos of his work (I bought an original hand-drawn novel about King Arthur from him!)… If you look closely, the level of detail in these drawings is beyond scope. ![]() Ok, enough about my spending habits this year’s comic expo felt so huge, it was almost a pain to move around! Besides a rough lunch with a crazy brawl that almost broke out in the Skyline booth between employees, the only disappointment this year is I didn’t get to meet Larry Hama! Yes, even after that whole article I wrote about his contributions to Wolverine. He apparently had an unfortunate accident and was at the hospital Saturday, which is when I attended. I was so bummed! I had my copy of Wolverine #90 in hand ready to be signed and treasured. Get well, good sir.Tickets for the 2018 Cincinnati Comic Expo are on sale now.

With the development of modern immunochemical techniques, it was demonstrated that anti-D antiserum or mAbs immunoprecipitate a nonglycosylated protein of approximately 30 kd that is exposed on the surface of RhD-positive, but not RhD-negative, RBCs. The major focus for research on the alloimmune response to RhD has been characterization of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane antigen that is recognized by anti-D alloantibodies. 1, 3 There is therefore an urgent need to more fully understand the immune response to RhD in order to design better strategies to prevent HDN. Although monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for RhD have been developed, it remains unclear whether these preparations will be safe, efficacious, or affordable replacements for polyclonal anti-D immunoglobulin. Furthermore, despite the use of anti-D immunoglobulin, alloimmunization still occurs in 1% to 1.5% of women at risk and cannot be reversed once an immune response has been initiated. 2 In particular, fears about the transmission of viral disease and the spongiform encephalopathies have recently resulted in difficulties in recruiting volunteers for immunization programs, or cessation of such programs, with potential for shortages of anti-D immunoglobulin. Although infant mortality due to HDN has been dramatically reduced by passive administration of human anti-D immunoglobulin to women at risk of alloimmunization, this prophylactic program is threatened by growing ethical concerns over the deliberate immunization of RhD-negative volunteers to produce human blood products. 1 Not only is this antigen routinely considered in transfusion medicine, but RhD incompatibility between mother and fetus is the classic cause of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). The most immunogenic and clinically important blood group borne by the Rhesus complex is the Rhesus D (RhD) antigen. Identification of such peptides containing dominant alloreactive helper epitopes is the first step in the development of improved or new approaches to preventing hemolytic disease of the newborn that are based on modulating the T-cell response to the RhD protein. The patterns of stimulatory peptides varied among alloimmune volunteers, but particular sequences were commonly recognized, with 4 peptides each eliciting a response in more than 50% of these donors. The number of peptides that induced proliferative responses was unrelated to either the frequency of, or time since, exposure to RhD-positive red blood cells, but it correlated strongly (R s = 0.75 P < .003) with the level of anti-D antibodies in deliberately immunized donors. Proliferation of PBMCs from the alloimmune donors was mediated by major histocompatibility complex class II–restricted T cells expressing the CD45RO marker of previous activation or memory. ![]() One or more peptides elicited proliferative responses by PBMCs from all 22 of the alloimmune volunteers but from only 2 of 8 alloantibody-negative control donors. ![]() The PBMCs were stimulated with a panel of up to 68 overlapping synthetic 15-mer peptides spanning the complete sequence of the RhD protein. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 22 RhD-negative volunteers in whom anti-D alloantibodies had developed after deliberate immunization or RhD-incompatible pregnancy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to map alloreactive T-cell epitopes on the RhD protein. Although considerable effort has been devoted to characterizing alloantibodies specific for the Rhesus D (RhD) blood group antigen, virtually nothing is known about the helper response that drives their production. ![]() “He reported that voices had told him to walk there,” the judge said.Ībout four months later, on Nov. Near the end of July 2020, Snache was apprehended by the Ontario Provincial Police while walking on the shoulder of a highway near Puslinch. He got a referral to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and was released. “He requested a refill of his Abilify and also asked that something else be prescribed.”Īfter complaining about headaches, Snache underwent a CT scan, the judge said. He said he thought people were watching him and out to harm him. He spoke about having some paranoia and homicidal ideation. ![]() “He was vague about his health situation. “He was homeless at the time and had no supports in Sarnia,” Boswell said. Two weeks later, on May 29, Snache went to the emergency department at Bluewater Health, a hospital in Sarnia. Mary’s General Hospital “can’t comment on specifics related to a patient’s history of care with the hospital” due to privacy issues, spokesperson Dayna Giorgio said in an email to The Record.) His prescription for Abilify was extended and he was released.” “He was vague about what brought him to the hospital,” the judge said. One month later, on May 14, 2020, Snache went to the emergency department at St. His Abilify prescription was renewed and he was released, “given the absence of concern that he was a risk to himself or others,” the judge said. At Brampton Civic Hospital, he was diagnosed with an unspecified psychosis. Two weeks later, Snache called an ambulance because he was hearing voices, Boswell said. He was prescribed a month’s supply of Abilify, an antipsychotic, and released from the hospital. Snache was diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and substance-induced psychosis. “He was admitted and spent two days in hospital,” said the judge, sitting in Barrie. ![]() Nine months before the murder, Snache went to Toronto Western Hospital complaining of auditory hallucinations. “He appears to have been homeless and transitory through much of that time and lacking in supports, partly, I would think, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Snache’s medical history shows he was “suffering significantly with mental illness” throughout 2020, Boswell said. “This lack of real mental health assistance and followup in Ontario is of great concern for Indigenous people in particular,” Herbert said, “and should be a great concern for all Canadians so that we don’t see preventable tragedies like the death of Mr. Snache did, over and over again,” Snache’s lawyer, Jay Herbert, said in an email to The Record. The case is “a sad example of what happens when our mental health system fails to follow up with people who are seeking mental health assistance, as Mr. But he did not get it, at least not the help he needed.” Snache needed help,” Superior Court Justice Cary Boswell said in finding him NCR last month. ![]() The killer, Justice Snache, was found not criminally responsible (NCR) of second-degree murder in the November 2020 unprovoked knife attack on Derek Simmerson, 34.
