Review a Brill Book. Assessments of animal experience and consciousness are embedded in all issues of animal welfare policy, and the field of animal welfare science has been developed to make these evaluations. In light of modern studies of the social construction of scientific knowledge, it is surprising how little attention has been paid to date on how crucial evaluations about animals are made.

In this paper, I begin to fill that gap by presenting a historical case study of the attempt to define the pain and distress of one common practice in animal research-the use of the tabletop guillotine to decapitate laboratory rodents. I describe the negotiations involved in reaching consensus on the meaning of the available data and caution animal care and use committees that they should always work with the realization that our scientific knowledge of what animals experience is partial and provisional knowledge at best.

Studies in other organisms have suggested that even hours after death, gene expression and activity is still occurring and in some cases increasing in quantity.

Further research and understanding are needed in humans to truly establish what the activity being detected after death is and how this relates to function and the conscious versus unconscious activity. The most famous case of surviving decapitation is probably that of Mike.

Mike survived being decapitated for 18 months. How, you might ask? Well, it appears the supposedly fatal cut managed to cut at an angle through his brainstem, keeping the parts of his central nervous system that control his basic functions alive. A timely and well-placed blood clot stopped him from bleeding to death. Did I mention that Mike was a chicken? Exactly how long a person can remain conscious after decapitation remains debatable.

We know that chickens often walk around for several seconds after decapitation; the Dutch rat study mentioned earlier suggests a length of perhaps four seconds. Other studies of small mammals have found up to 29 seconds [source: Khuly]. This in itself seems a horrid length of time for such a state. Take a moment to count off four seconds while you look around the room; you'll likely find you can take in quite a bit visually and aurally during that time.

This is what is most disturbing about the concept of consciousness remaining after decapitation; we may feel pain and experience fear in those few moments before death. This has been reported in a number of cases where consciousness appeared to remain following decapitation. Most recently, in , an Army veteran reported that following a car accident that he was in with a friend, the decapitated head of his friend changed facial expressions: "First of shock or confusion then to terror or grief," [source: Bellows ].

Both King Charles I and Queen Anne Boleyn are reported to both have showed signs of trying to speak following their beheadings by executioners' swords, rather than by guillotine [source: Maslin ]. When he spoke out against the use of the guillotine in , German researcher S. Sommering cited reports of decapitated heads that have ground their teeth and that the face of one decapitated person "grimaced horribly" when a physician inspecting the head poked the spinal canal with his finger [source: Sommering ].

Perhaps most famously was the study conducted by a Dr. Beaurieux in of the head of executed criminal Henri Languille. Over the course of 25 to 30 seconds of observation, the physician recorded managing to get Languille to open his eyes and "undeniably" focus them on the doctor's twice by calling the executed man's name [source: Bellows ].

The other two digits followed by 3 tell you what kind of redirect is being used by the page. For example, the code means that the page has been moved permanently to the redirected URL.

A website redirect, as the name suggests, is aimed at redirecting the user to a different page than the one that they requested for. Redirects are usually used when an existing website is moved to a new domain. For instance, when a business undergoes a rebranding or expands into new markets, they may need to change their website domain name to something that reflects their new brand image. While this can be simply done by purchasing a new domain and creating a new website, it may confuse the existing customers of that business.

Having too many redirects is bad for a multitude of reasons: Every redirect ads latency extra time before the final URL can resolve. This is known as 'redirect latency'. It's not uncommon for redirects to add as much as 3 seconds to final page load times. If you have inbound links that point to the wrong version of your URL, it's optimal that the inbound link juice doesn't go through unnecessary redirects before reaching the final URL.

In this blog, Dr. For tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are tied and sealed, either by tying them off or cauterizing them. When intercourse occurs, the sperm and the egg remain on different sides of the sealed fallopian tubes , thus preventing them from meeting, and thus preventing pregnancy. Unfortunately, not everyone is a good candidate for tubal reversal. Macey will look at the following to determine if a reversal is the right move :.

If anything is unclear, Dr. Macey may perform a pelvic ultrasound to ensure accuracy in his assessment. The type of ligation is key here. If your ligation was done with clips or rings, a reversal will likely be more successful. Once the tubes are reconnected, the surgeon will inject a dye into one end of each tube.

If no dye leaks out, that means the tubes have been reattached successfully. In some cases, your surgeon might use a procedure called a minilaparotomy. Your surgeon will make an incision in your abdomen, usually about 2 inches.

The surgeon will remove damaged parts of the fallopian tube and reconnect the healthy sections while the tubes are outside your body. Recovery for laparoscopic surgery takes about a week. Recovery for a minilaparotomy takes approximately two weeks. Your doctor might prescribe you pain medication, or you can use over-the-counter medication. For a few days after your surgery, you might have shoulder pain from the gas used to help your doctor see more of your abdomen during surgery.

Lying down can help relieve that pain. You should avoid any heavy lifting or sexual activity. Your doctor will tell you how long to avoid these activities.

In general, 50 to 80 percent of women who have tubal ligation reversal go on to have successful pregnancies. Like with any surgery, tubal ligation reversal can lead to complications from anesthesia, bleeding, or infections.

These are rare and your doctor will go over these risks with you before your procedure. A tubal ligation is commonly referred to as "having your tubes tied.

During a tubal ligation reversal, the blocked segments of the fallopian tubes are reconnected to the remainder of the fallopian tubes. This may allow eggs to again move through the tubes and sperm to travel up the fallopian tubes to join an egg. Tubal ligation procedures that cause the least amount of damage to the fallopian tubes are the most likely to allow a successful tubal ligation reversal.

Examples include sterilization with tubal clips or rings. Procedures that cause scarring to seal off the fallopian tubes, such as the Essure or Adiana systems, generally aren't reversible. A tubal ligation reversal isn't appropriate for everyone. Your health care provider will consider several factors to determine if tubal ligation reversal is likely to be successful, such as:. The success of a tubal ligation reversal procedure depends on a variety of factors.

It's more likely to be successful if you still have a large portion of healthy fallopian tube remaining. Tubal ligation reversal is more likely to be successful if your tubal ligation was originally done using clips or rings, rather than if segments of your fallopian tubes were burned in order to close them off electrocautery. Mehan said. Tubal reversal surgery involves identifying the healthy sections of the fallopian tubes and undergoing microsurgery to reconnect them.

Surgery should be performed by a skilled subspecialty surgeon, generally a gynecologist who is specially trained in infertility and microsurgery. Like the vasectomy reversal, tubal reversals can be more invasive than the tubal ligation.

Recovery from the surgery is dependent on the surgical approach. Then pregnancy can be attempted. For men, success is dependent on the amount of time that has elapsed since the vasectomy. The health of your partner and their fertility are important things to consider before a reversal procedure. Based on this information, the fertility expert can help walk you through all your options to find what will work best for you and your family.

View Hotel. The tour companies have the necessary permits to bring guests to this fragile environment, with knowledgeable guides that have the experience and expertise to ensure that you have an idyllic underwater viewing experience. Our first option is an exciting 3. Your tour begins at the Napo'op'o boat ramp, is fully narrated by a qualified guide, includes lunch and snorkeling in the pristine waters near the Captain Cook Monument.

A hour Zodiac Raft and Snorkel Adventure departs from the Honokohau Marina just north of Kailua-Kona, carrying up to 16 guests in a rigid-hull inflatable powerboat to snorkel in Kealakekua. More personalized than many commercial tours, this trip follows the coastline from north of Kailua-Kona and explores sea caves along the way. All snorkeling equipment is provided, as well as beverages and a picnic snack. If you prefer a deluxe motorized catamaran for your snorkeling adventure, come aboard the Fair Wind , complete with its own waterslide!

This tour includes a tropical breakfast and BBQ lunch on board the boat. The best way to reach Kealakekua and the Captain Cook Monument, without having to hassle with permits or signing on with a tour, is a wonderful off-the-beaten-path hike from the top of Napo'opo'o road. This is one of our favorite Big Island hikes , a very scenic hike of about two miles 3k each way. It is often very hot and dry, and can be particularly strenuous on the return.

The trail is steep and very exposed. It is also the site where those two societies tragically collided. When you exit the park head north on Pu'uhonua Road until you reach a parking lot for Napo'opo'o Beach and Kealakekua Bay. You may encounter some unofficial parking guides who appear to be maximizing space in the lot. Due to the nature of the area, do not leave valuables visible in your car or visit after dark. From here you can peer across the blue waters of Kealakekua Bay to a bright white monument on the other shore.

This obelisk was built in by the British to honor the explorer Captain James Cook who died only a few feet from that spot. Cook, believed to be the first European explorer to discover the islands, was killed during a scuffle with the Hawaiians in The cove surrounding the monument is called Ka'awaloa Cove which also has great snorkeling more on that below.

This gorgeous bay is the site of a great controversy over the enjoyment of its waters versus the preservation of the land and species that call it home. For a long time and sadly still today kayaking was a popular activity among visitors who could take tours or rent kayaks on their own and make the journey across the bay to the monument. A variety of reasons led to the restrictions on this activity. One of the most important was damage to coral as kayakers and snorkelers would beach their kayaks on the fragile coral or stand on them.

The bay was also home to spinner dolphins which would use its waters to play and rest, activities which were disturbed. Now by law, despite any kayak rental signs you may see, it is forbidden to kayak in the bay unless you are with one of the few companies which are permitted to guide tours there.

There are also several snorkeling companies which bring their boats to the bay. They minimize damage by not allowing any snorkelers on shore. This bay is a precious resource, and while the state and county have permitted some companies to take visitors to Ka'awaloa Cove, it is important to consider the frequent burden visitation can take on this area. There are many wonderful places to snorkel on the Big Island for example, Two Step is just down the road.

Please weigh these options carefully when deciding to visit Kealakekua Bay. Beth Arnold. September 3, Mike Maddox.
