I NORA'S NET In the Avatamsaka Siitra (Ke­gongy6 in Japanese), there is an elaborate imagery of the great god Indra who has his palace on the top of Mount Sumeru. In Bud­dhistand Hindu cosmology, Mount Sumeru is the cosmic moun­tain, the central axis and highest mountain in any world system. It is in the shape of a spool of thread seen from the side and is the stand upon which Am ida Buddha stands in aJl J6doshinshii temples. In the mythology, the king of the gods Indra has his magnificent palace atop Mt. Sumeru. And over his paJace is an infinitely large net. At each intersection of the net hangs a brilliant jewel reflecting in it every other jewel, producing a myriad lights of a myriad colors. This very Indian/Chinese psyche­delic picture of the universe is the Mahayana expression of the interconnectedness of all things, material and otherwise. Each jewel can only be defined in con­nection to the other jewels. Each jewel is distinct and different, yet only in relation to the others jew­els. Hence all things rise and fall in relation to each other.

YOUR DANA CONTRIBUTES TO A STRONG AND VIBRANT TEMPLE Dana means to give, whether in goods, money, or of oneself. In its deepest meaning Dana means to give of oneself for the sake of anothe~ without regard or concern for recognition or benefit. Senshin Temple traditionally operated financially on Dana, or conditionless donations.

Although this is still the case for the most part, a more Americanized direct approach has been discussed by the Board of Directors to bring needed additional income to the temple. Younger and newer attendees to the temple may not be familiar with the tradition of "white

envelopes" for special services or in tune with the contributions to the temple that coincide with special life passages, like births, graduations, and recoveries from illnesses. And candidly, our membership is aging and manpower is diminishing, making it too difficult to take on additional fundraisers to meet growing operational expenses. For this reason, the temple Board of Directors has recently put together two printed brochures which focus on ways to contribute to the temple, through Membership and Giving (general contributions to operations). These brochures are available at the temple and

information is also on the temple website, www.senshintemple.org. As a convenience, there is also a Paypal account on the website for those who wish to make a contribution by credit card.

Our sangha makes Senshin the vibrant and meaningful religious center that it is, through the generous contribution oftime, talent and resources. If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas, please feel free to drop us a line. senshintemple@gmail.com

FOR ELDERLY. A LITTLE FALL, A BIG WORRY by Anne Marie Valinoti, M.D. "She's 88 and tripped and fell yes­terday;' the emergency room doc­tor told me when I answered the page. "She was on the floor about 15 hours when her family found her."

"What did she break?" I asked.

"Nothing," he said, as I recall. "But she's too weak to stand, and we can't send her home since she lives alone."

The "little old lady found on the floor" is a staple of hospital ad­missions, and Martha, a patient in our group practice, was hardly the first I had cared for. The causes of falls in the elderly are myriad, as are the consequences. But frankly, they're at the bottom of my list of fascinating new cases.

Often, my role as an internist consists mainly of arranging for physical therapy in the hospital and social work intervention if needed to ensure a safe discharge plan. It is much less exciting than, say, managing bacterial sepsis or a pulmonary embolism. Resigned, I drove over to the hospital to meet Martha.

In the emergency room, Martha's nurse handed me the chart. "Her family is here," he told me. '1\nd I just got her lab results- her CPK is 32,000."

This was interesting. Creatine phosphokinase, or CPK, is an en­zyme found in muscle cells in the body. If a muscle is injured or in­flamed, the level will rise. Small elevations are not usually wmTi­some, but large ones signify ex-

tensive muscle injury.

That injury, called rhabdomyoly­sisJ was first described in survi­vors of the London blitz in World War II who, though rescued after a limb had been crushed or pinned under fallen masonry, later died of kidney failure. A British physician, Eric Bywaters, determined that the crushed muscle cells leaked the protein myoglobin into the blood, where it was then able to poison the kidneys. He published his findings in 1941.

The treatment could overwhelm her heart} resulting in a buildup of fluid in the lungs, which itself can be fatal. Hospital-acquired in­fections, delirium and blood clots were other lurking dangers. The potential for complications was daunting, as it so often is with el­derly patients.

This was not going to be easy to communicate to her family. Mar­tha looked well - tired after her ordeal but otherwise none the worse for wear. The tea-colored urine in the catheter bag was the only ominous sign of the as­sault on her kidneys. Her son and daughter had been relieved that there were no fractures. Before the lab tests came back, this was going to be a simple hospital ad­mission for physical therapy.

The level of CPK in Martha's blood was through the roof. Though she had not been pulled from rubble, by quietly lying on her bedroom floor for so many hours, her leg pinned beneath her, she risked complications as severe as those of any victim of a building col­lapse. The family listened as I explained

the diagnosis, the treatment and I went to examine Martha and the risks involved. Martha would found her surrounded by her con- be admitted to an intensive care cerned family. She was an alert, unit where she could be moni­elderly woman who~ according to tored, especially for signs of heart her daughter, lived independent- failure. ly without difficu lty. Her family lived nearby/ saw her frequently Fortunately, Martha's renal func­and called daily. In fact~ they had tion remained stable after her called her twice while she lay on the floor~ unable to get up. Twice, Martha had answered the phone and said nothing about her pre­dicament. "Typical," her daughter told me. "She didn't want to worry us."

There was plenty to worry about now. Large intravenous infusions of sodium bicarbonate will some­times prevent kidney damage in rhabdomyolysis~ but th is is easier said than done in an 88-year-old.

hospital admission. This was in stark contrast to my last patient with rhabdomyolysis, who spent weeks in the hospital enduring uncomfortable dialysis until his failing kidneys recovered. Last year a patient in our practice died from complications of rhabdomy­olysis.

But Martha was able to leave the hospital a week later, having avoided the complications of her injury and its treatment. Although

the care she received was critical to her good outcome, I can't help but think that pure luck was at play, too.

According to the Centers for Dis­ease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of death from injury among people over 65. An older person may seem independent, but friends and relatives should routinely survey homes and apartments for slip­pery surfaces, clutter or other fall-inducing conditions. Some­thing as seemingly innocuous as a loose rug can lead to a dire medi­cal outcome.

Anne Marie Valinoti is an internist in northern New jersey.
