	Drug May Calm Agitation From Alzheimer's
		Agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease is the No. 1 reason that dementia patients are admitted to nursing homes, says Pierre Tariot, MD, a professor of psychiatry, neurology, and aging at the University of Rochester.
		Agitated Alzheimer's patients pose a threat to themselves and to caregivers, he says.
		He says agitation is more likely to occur among patients in late-stage disease and notes that once agitation occurs, it is likely to persist throughout the course of the disease.

		The strength of agitation lies in its truthfulness, in exact knowledge of the experiences of the masses in building a socialist society, as well as in spreading and transmission of new and progressive ideas.
		Effective political mass agitation is characterized by consistent party-mindedness, elevated ideas, a closeness to life, persuasive reasoning, variety in the choice of means, and clarity.

		Agitation has been defined as "an excess of one or more behaviors that occurs during an altered state of consciousness (Bogner and Corrigan, 1995).
		Because of its disruption of therapeutic goals, significant agitation during rehabilitation has to be addressed, and various behavioral, environmental and pharmacological interventions have been used.
		With regard to the latter, the research literature is sprinkled with case studies of the effectiveness of various medications in improving agitation.

	Abstract - AGITATION IN DEMENTIA
		Agitation is an overarching term, including tension, aggression, irritability, restlessness and similar types of behaviour that are common in elderly patients with severe dementia.
		In one study, systematical observations of video recordings unveiled that the most probable reasons for expressed agitation were need for assistance related to pain or discomfort, a wish to be served immediately, reactions to environmental noise, conflicts between a patient and other individuals and invasion of personal space.
		The most common causes for expressed agitation were interpreted as discomfort, a wish to be served immediately, conflict between patients or with nursing staff, reactions to environmental noises or sound, and invasion of personal space.

		Despite the frequency of agitation in patients with traumatic brain injuries, as well as the need to treat agitation, until recently there has not been an objective measure of agitation.
		The Agitated Behavior Scale (ABS; Corrigan, 1989) was developed to allow objective assessment of this behavior, particularly serial assessments for the evaluation of interventions to reduce agitation.
		The ABS was developed to assess the nature and extent of agitation during the acute phase of recovery from acquired brain injury.

		By 1970 Agitation Free were a fixture of Berlin's art-rock scene, performing with like-minded bands such as Tangerine Dream, Amon Duul and Guru Guru, all of whom appeared at that year's First German Progressive Popfestival in Berlin's Sportpalast.
		Agitation Free's debut album Malesch came out in 1972 and was heavily influenced by their tour of Egypt, Greece and Cyprus, which was sponsored by the Goethe Institute, blending the group's improvisational rock with ambient sounds from the countries they toured.
		In 1973, Agitation Free continued touring in France and Germany and released their sophomore effort 2nd, but disappointing album sales, musical differences and boredom brought on by constant touring chipped away at the band.

	TMax agitation times
		Pick a method of agitation that works for you (for me it's slow and constant the 1st 30 seconds and 2 slow inversions every minute after that) and adjust your time to get the proper contrast.
		I perceive agitation as just a necesary action to avoid bromide streaking (please don't infer anything regarding my outlook on sexuality using that thought and the above analogy) so I figure keep it gentle but perform the agitation long enough to ensure streaking is not present.
		Having said that, I think one is safer agitating for 10 seconds each minute rather than 5 which may not induce enough flow in the developer to sufficiently scatter the bromides.

	1820. Eductor agitation benefits
		Compressed air is the worst way to agitate plating tanks from a quality perspective so the calculations for compressed air versus an eductor flow from pumped solution may be academic.
		Agitation using air will definitely cause a lot more evaporation due to the nature of the process - air bubbles saturated with vapor continuously bubbling their way up to solution level and releasing their vapor content into the atmosphere.
		Another disadvantage to the air agitation system is the fact that it introduces contaminants to your solution, whereas you might be spending a lot of money on keeping the solution clear.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
		Left to the seclusion of his own thoughts and reflections, undisturbed by the excitement of political and polemical agitation, he became the victim of an interior struggle that made him writhe in the throes of racking anxiety, distressing doubts and agonizing reproaches of conscience.
		To this was added an irrepressible outbreak of sensuality which assailed him with unbridled fury, a fury that was all the more fierce on account of the absence of the approved weapons of spiritual defence, as well as the intensifying stimulus of his imprudent gratification of his appetite for eating and drinking.
		Melander was "a bluff agitator, surly, with a most unsavoury moral reputation", one of his moral derelictions being the fact that he had three living wives, having deserted two without going through the formality of a legal separation.
