what kind of nutrients do plants need in hydroponics
|
<P> The size of your hydro system will depend partly on the size of the grow light you choose. Whatever size hydroponic system you choose, you will want a 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of hydroponic nutrient solution available for each plant in the system. Hydroponic nutrients include all the substances needed by your plants to grow healthy. These substances include primary nutrients, secondary nutrients, trace nutrients (also known as micro-nutrients), hormones, and vitamins. <P> Nutrient Film Techinque, or NFT, is a type of hydroponic system where a continous flow of nutrient solution runs over the plants roots. This type of solution is on a slight tilt so that the nutrient solution will flow with the force of gravity. Advantages. Growing with hydroponics comes with many advantages, the biggest of which is a greatly increased rate of growth in your plants. With the proper setup, your plants will mature up to 25% faster and produce up to 30% more than the same plants grown in soil. <P> If your plant is being grown in a hydroponics setup, you will need to use specific hydroponic nutrients. These will include secondary nutrients and micronutrients that are found in soil but that need to be replicated in a hydroponic setup. They are important in producing a strong and healthy plant. Secondary nutrients are more commonly used in conjunction with hydroponic grows where there is a need to replicate the nutrients found in soil. - Calcium (Ca) – Calcium is used by your marijuana plant for cell production and growth, maintaining healthy roots and ensures the proper flow of sugars and nitrogen. <P> In Hydroponic gardening, it is important to know what different types of nutrients are best for the different varieties of Hydroponic plants we will be growing. Hydroponic nutrients are much better for Hydroponic plants as opposed to regular fertilizers. <P> Submit. Hydroponics is cultivation of plants without soil. All the nutrients needed for the plant are supplied through a nutrient solution. Nutrients like oxygen, carbon and hydrogen are absorbed by the plant from air and water. The primary macronutrients are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Secondary macronutrients are calcium, magnesium and sulfur. <P> Macro or major nutrients. Nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) are the nutrients your marijuana plants need in the largest quantity to thrive. These are listed on your nutrient package/bottle as N-P-K as a ratio. More detail on N-P-K fertilizer ratio. Consequently a fertilizer high in nitrogen is suitable for vegetative growth and one higher in phosphorous is suitable for flowering. Luckily all of this work has been done for you by the manufacturers. Ideally you will buy your hydroponic nutrients from a hydroponics shop where you will receive good advice. <P> Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only, or in an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. <P> Hydroponics, by definition, is a method of growing plants in a water based, nutrient rich solution. Hydroponics does not use soil, instead the root system is supported using an inert medium such as perlite, rockwool, clay pellets, peat moss, or vermiculite. Advantages. Growing with hydroponics comes with many advantages, the biggest of which is a greatly increased rate of growth in your plants. With the proper setup, your plants will mature up to 25% faster and produce up to 30% more than the same plants grown in soil. <P> The General Hydroponics Flora Series of nutrients is the most-used hydroponic nutrient package in the entire world. It contains FloraGro, FloraMicro, and FloraBloom nutrients. As your plants grow through their lifecycle, you need to provide them with different ratios of nutrients.

what is pvc cardiac
|
<P> Premature ventricular contractions can occur in a healthy person of any age, but are more prevalent in the elderly and in men. They frequently occur spontaneously with no known cause. Heart rate turbulence (HRT) is a phenomenon representing the return to equilibrium of the heart rate after a PVC. An isolated PVC is hard to catch without the use of a Holter monitor. PVCs may be perceived as a skipped heart beat, a strong beat, or a feeling of suction in the chest. They may also cause chest pain, a faint feeling, fatigue, or hyperventilation after exercise. <P> Premature ventricular contractions are abnormal contractions that begin in the ventricles. These extra contractions usually beat sooner than the next expected regular heartbeat. And they often interrupt the normal order of pumping, which is atria first, then ventricles. <P> PVC stands for premature ventricular contractions, sometimes also called extrasystoles or ventricular ectopic beats. PVCs are a form of cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, in which the heartbeat deviates from its normal rhythm. More specifically, PVCs are extra beats that occur before the rest of the heartbeat. They’re caused by an electrical signal that originates in the ventricles, the heart’s lower chambers. PVCs are fairly common. They’re not always noticeable, but when they are, they may feel like a missed beat or a palpitation. <P> Although there are many signs and symptoms associated with PVCs, PVCs may have no symptoms at all. An isolated PVC is hard to catch without the use of a Holter monitor. PVCs may be perceived as a skipped heart beat, a strong beat, or a feeling of suction in the chest. They may also cause chest pain, a faint feeling, fatigue, or hyperventilation after exercise. <P> Ventricular Arrhythmias. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are the most common cause of irregular heart rhythms. The heartbeat is created by an electrical signal that originates in an area of specialized cells in the heart’s upper right chamber, the right atrium. A premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a too-early heartbeat that originates in the ventricles and disrupts the heart’s normal rhythm. The pattern is a normal beat, an extra beat (the PVC), a slight pause, then a stronger-than-normal beat <P> Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra, abnormal heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing you to feel a flip-flop or skipped beat in your chest. Premature ventricular contractions are very common — they occur in most people at some point. Premature ventricular contractions are also called: <P> In a PVC, the ventricles contract first and before the atria have optimally filled the ventricles with blood, which means that circulation is inefficient. However, single beat PVC abnormal heart rhythms do not usually pose a danger and can be asymptomatic in healthy individuals. A PVC is a type of ectopic beat. An isolated PVC is hard to catch without the use of a Holter monitor. PVCs may be perceived as a skipped heart beat, a strong beat, or a feeling of suction in the chest. They may also cause chest pain, a faint feeling, fatigue, or hyperventilation after exercise. <P> A SCAI answered. Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. The heart’s rhythm (heartbeat) is regulated by natural electrical impulses that travel through the heart muscle. These impulses tell the heart’s chambers when to contract. <P> Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are premature heartbeats originating from the ventricles of the heart. Premature ventricular contractions are premature because they occur before the regular heartbeat. Normal function of the heart. The heart has four chambers. The upper two chambers are the atria, and the lower two chambers are the ventricles. The SA node is the heart's electrical pacemaker. It is a small patch of cells located in the wall of the right atrium; the frequency with which the SA node discharges electricity determines the rate at which the heart normally beats. The SA node keeps the heart beating in a regular manner.

what is a falling star
|
<P> Question: A falling star or a shooting star has nothing at all to do with a star! These amazing streaks of light you can sometimes see in the night sky are caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids falling into the Earth's atmosphere and burning up. The short-lived trail of light the burning meteoroid produces is called a meteor. Meteors are commonly called falling stars or shooting stars. If any part of the meteoroid survives burning up and actually hits the Earth, that remaining bit is then called a meteorite. <P> Star falling into the aurora over the Kewaunee River. Falling star or shooting star is the common name for the visible path of a meteoroid as it enters the atmosphere to become a meteor. If a falling star survives impact with the Earth's surface, then it is called a meteorite. It may also refer to: 1 The Falling Star (Der Fallende Stern) a 1950 German drama film directed by Harald Braun. 2 Falling Star (The Outer Limits) , an episode of the television series The Outer Limits. <P> A shooting star is not actually a star, nor does it shoot. It is officially called a meteor, a chunk of extraterrestrial rock pulled into the Earth's atmosphere by gravity. Most meteors are closer to dust or sand in size, not the large boulders frequently seen in science fiction movies. <P> shooting star. noun.

what type of food poisoning can you get from pork
|
<P> Trichinosis is a type of parasitic food poisoning. It is caused by roundworms in pork and wild game (for example, bear). Symptoms of food poisoning include: 1 Nausea. 2 Vomiting. 3 Diarrhea. 4 Stomach pain. <P> Food Poisoning from Pork. One can get food poisoning from pork because of the roundworm genus, Trichinella that is found in raw pork meat. The major symptoms of this type of food poisoning are abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and muscle pain. Advertisement. <P> This refers to food poisoning not just to any kind of pork but mostly to raw or undercooked pork. The most common cause of food poisoning in pork is caused by a parasite known as roundworms. Cases of food poisoning with pork are also referred to as trichinosis. Another type of pork food poisoning is caused by yersina enterocolitica bacteria. Ingestion of undercooked pork can increase the risk of poisoning with <P> Pork food poisoning. You may not connect pork with food poisoning but there are a couple of types of food poisoning, one of which is known as ‘trichinosis’. The other type occurs as a result of the ‘yersinia enterocolitica’bacteria. <P> Yersinia enterocolitica bacteria and pork food poisoning. This type of food poisoning is caused by the. bacteria which live inside raw pork. It is not caused by the actual pork itself but by this strain of bacteria which also causes gastroenteritis. <P> So, can you get food poisoning from pork? The answer is yes, if the pork that you have consumed is infected with an intestinal parasite, called roundworms. The larval stage of the parasite in cyst form is present in raw pork meat.

What are the cells which secrete and maintain the matrix in your intervertebral discs
|
<P> Mesenchymal cells aggregate and begin to secrete matrix that is characterized by bundles of collagenous fibers. The secreted osteoid matrix has a high affinity for calcium salts, that are brought into the area of bone formation by the circulatory system. These deposit within and on the matrix to form calcified bone. 2. chondroblasts-immature cartilage cells. Secrete extracellular matrix, but are not yet rigidly embedded in that matrix. 3. chondrocytes-mature cartilage cells that are embedded in rigid extracellular matrix. These cells reside in small spaces within the matrix that are called lacunae. <P> 1 Interstitial growth-Chondroblasts within the existing cartilage divide and form small groups of cells, isogenous groups, which produce matrix to become separated from each other by a thin partition of matrix. 2 Interstitial growth occurs mainly in immature cartilage. Draw a small section of the cartilage and identify in your drawing territorial matrix, interterritorial matrix, isogenous groups, and chondrocytes. Think about how the spatial arrangement of chondrocytes in the isogenous group may reflect patterns of cell divisions. <P> Fibroblasts are by far the most common native cell type of connective tissue. The fibroblast synthesizes the collagen and ground substance of the extracellular matrix. These cells make a large amount of protein that they secrete to build the connective tissue layer. Some fibroblasts have a contractile function; these are called myofibroblasts. Chondrocytes and osteocytes form the extracellular matrix of cartilage and bone. Learning Objectives. 1 Describe the structural organization of the fibers in the extracellular matrix and the cells residing within connective tissue. 2 Distinguish loose and dense connective tissue using the light microscope. 3 Contrast white and brown adipose tissue. <P> CARTILAGE. 1 is a specialised type of connective tissue. 2 consists, like other connective tissues, of cells and extracellular components. 3 does, unlike other connective tissues, not contain vessels or nerves. 4 is surrounded by a layer of dense connective tissue, the perichondrium. Draw a small section of the cartilage and identify in your drawing territorial matrix, interterritorial matrix, isogenous groups, and chondrocytes. Think about how the spatial arrangement of chondrocytes in the isogenous group may reflect patterns of cell divisions. <P> 8 Cells Associated with Bone Tissue osteoprogenitor cells: derived from mesenchyme these differentiate into osteoblasts. osteoblasts: bone forming cells which secrete the osteoid and then calcify it.osteoclasts: bone resorbing cells derived from monocytes. The cells found in bone tissue reflect the processes of remodeling and maintenance which go on constantly. In remodeling, first osteoclasts remove bone tissue, an osteon at a time. Next osteoblasts build up new bone to replace the old. Then the osteoblasts become osteocytes, mature bone cells which maintain the matrix. In this way the structural and functional integrity of the bone is maintained. 7 Bone Tissue Matrix: collagen fibersproteoglycans (glycoproteins)Hydroxyapatite: inorganic salt of calcium and phosphorus Bone tissue (osseous tissue) differs from cartilage in having a solid matrix due to the presence of inorganic salts of calcium and phosphorus. These enable bone to have a rigid shape. <P> Matrix is extracellular. Most body cells are in contact with a jelly like substance composed of proteins and polysaccharides. These molecules are secreted by the cells and self assemble into an organized mesh in the extracellular space, where they serve as a universal cell glue that helps hold the body cells together. Name the two major components of matrix and, if applicable, subclasses of each component. The two major components of the matrix are ground substances and fibers. Fibers can be broken into the classes; collagen, elastic and reticular fibers. <P> The osteoblasts begin to secrete osteoid matrix on the remnants of calcified cartilage. The osteoid matrix becomes mineralized forming cancellous bone in the shaft of the diaphysis. Some of the osteoblasts become trapped within the mineralized bone and become mature bone cells, osteocytes. 2. chondroblasts-immature cartilage cells. Secrete extracellular matrix, but are not yet rigidly embedded in that matrix. 3. chondrocytes-mature cartilage cells that are embedded in rigid extracellular matrix. These cells reside in small spaces within the matrix that are called lacunae. <P> The cartilage-forming cells, chondroblasts, begin to secrete the components of the extracellular matrix of cartilage. The extracellular matrix consists of, ground substance (hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfates and keratan sulfate) and tropocollagen, which polymerises extracellularly into fine collagen fibres. Draw a small section of the cartilage and identify in your drawing territorial matrix, interterritorial matrix, isogenous groups, and chondrocytes. Think about how the spatial arrangement of chondrocytes in the isogenous group may reflect patterns of cell divisions. <P> Both bone and cartilage contain living cells embedded in an intercellular matrix. In bone, these cells are called osteocytes, which likewise occupy lacunae. However, the intercellular matrix of bone contains more collagen than found in cartilage and it is heavily mineralized with calcium salts. As a consequence, the cells of the inner layer of the perichondrium differentiate into osteoblasts and start producing bone matrix. Now the perichondrium is considered a periosteum. Soon there is a collar of bone, called subperiosteal bone, surrounding the midsection of the cartilage. <P> Ossification. Osteoblasts that came in with nutrient blood vessels invade, osteoid gets deposited onto cartilage calcified matrix, and bone tissue disappears.

<P> He does not know how to sniff it in or blow his nose and sneezing during the first few months is common, it is the only way that the baby can clear his nose. Remember, he has to get used to a lot of new stuff such as breathing and swallowing and burping etc. So for the most part, newborn sneezing is no cause for worry. <P> The sneezing is a normal reflex to help clear the nasal passages of germs and other airborne particles, according to the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital website. Lint from clothing, blankets and even milk curds can cause the sneezing as well, advises the Pediatrics Associates website. <P> So chances are that when your newborn coughs or sneezes, you will wonder and worry about what causes it; if it is an infection etc. However, before you rush your baby to the doctor, consider the following: Newborn sneezing is the only option to clear their nose. <P> Newborn Sneezing. Newborn sneezing is very common, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate that they are sick or cold. It’s merely a reflex mechanism used to clear the airborne particles and congestion in respiratory and nasal passages. <P> Normal Sneezing. Frequent sneezing in a newborn frightens many inexperienced parents because they worry that the baby has allergies or is getting an infection, as stated by the experts at the Kids Health website. <P> Symptoms That Require a Doctor’s Attention. Your newborn may sneeze a few times in a row, several times a day. If the sneezing increases more than normal for your baby or is accompanied by a cough or congestion that makes it difficult for her to breathe, call her pediatrician. <P> Sneezes Hiccups, and Reflexes. Newborns may sneeze, and this is typically attributed to the irritation of their nasal passages. The most common irritants, explains Dr. Iannelli, are smoke (and simply smoking outside is not enough), animal dander from pets in the house, dust mites, and mold. During the winter, if the heat is on in the.

what should my vehicle a/c vent temperature be
|
<P> Vent temperature will vary. Some newer cars may have vent temperatures that are below 50°F while older model cars’ vent temperatures may be in the mid-50’s to low 60’s. <P> Because I now question their thoroughness, I went online last night to see what temperature should be expected at the vents on a working system. I did not find a large number of posts about this. But for my car, a 1994 Honda Accord, a couple of posts indicated that a 40-45 deg. F range was typical. I don't even measure vent temp anymore, every car is different even if it's the exact same model. I put my hand up close to the vent to see if it feels crisp. At my shop I would charge about $90.00 to recharge your car if it were completely empty. <P> I have a Goodman GSC130361, 3 ton ac unit. The air coming out of the vents is 66 degrees. I was told by the company that installed it, that the air should be between 50-55 degrees. That is a big difference. They came yesterday and checked the freon in the unit and we changed the filters. You should expect a 15 to 20 degree temperature differential from the air temp going in and the air temp coming out, after the unit has been running a period of time. I suggest you use 2 accurate thermometers. <P> then you could expect a temperature coming out of the vents to be around 46 - 50 degrees f. ..... so on and so forth.......bear in mind that a hot car with temperatures in the 100's of degrees will not register these kinds of temperatures until and unless you recirculate your inside air. The temperature coming directly out of the vent is different than the ambient temperature of the house. The air coming directly from the vent should be 45-55, however this will not be the temperature in your home. <P> To see if your A/C system is performing, measure the outlet temperature at the vent with an accurate thermometer. Drive the car with the A/C on max. With temperatures in the 70's to 80's Fahrenheit the outlet temperature should be around 35 to 48 degrees. R12. Air Conditioning is cars before 1994 used freon called R12 which was found to be harmful to the ozone. <P> What temperature air should my car's air conditioner be putting out at the vents, on MAX @ full blast? At the moment it is 41F, is this fine? 2002 Honda Odyssey. The coldest that the air conditioning evaporator that the incoming air passes over can get is 33 degrees. That's because if it were 32 degrees the humidity in the air would freeze on the evaporator and cause it to ice over. <P> However, in order to achieve the 80 degrees inside, the air coming out of the vent should be 45-55 degrees. The temperature coming directly out of the vent is different than the ambient temperature of the house. The air coming directly from the vent should be 45-55, however this will not be the temperature in your home. <P> When trying to cool a typical house, the average central AC will only decrease the temperature by about 20 degrees. For example, when it is 100 degrees outside, the inside will typically cool to about 80 at best. However, in order to achieve the 80 degrees inside, the air coming out of the vent should be 45-55 degrees. The temperature coming directly out of the vent is different than the ambient temperature of the house. The air coming directly from the vent should be 45-55, however this will not be the temperature in your home. How cold should the air be when coming out of the vents? cold air from the vents in your car IAW pressure/temperature charts.....R134a (with a new or reasonably well conditioned compressor), will give you a gauge re … ading in pounds that equates to a specific temperature within the evaporator. <P> As a rule of thumb the temperature of the air rises about 5 degrees as it passes through the ducts to the outlet. That would put the maximum low temperature at the center outlet grille about 37-38. You'll probably find that the outlet temperature will be lower as you drive down the road than when your sitting at idle. The coldest that the air conditioning evaporator that the incoming air passes over can get is 33 degrees. That's because if it were 32 degrees the humidity in the air would freeze on the evaporator and cause it to ice over.

what causes tetanus infection
|
<P> Tetanus, commonly called lockjaw, is a serious bacterial disease that affects muscles and nerves. It is characterized by muscle stiffness that usually involves the jaw and neck that then progresses to involve other parts of the body. Death can result from severe breathing difficulties or heart abnormalities. <P> Tetanus is a potentially deadly infection of the nervous system caused by bacteria known as Clostridium tetani (C. tetani). Tetanus can occur when spores of these bacteria enter the body through an open wound that comes in contact with soil contaminated with the bacteria. <P> Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani. Tetanus bacteria are everywhere in the environment, including soil, dust and manure. <P> Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that affects the nervous system and causes muscles throughout the body to tighten. Tetanus is also commonly called lockjaw, because the infection primarily causes muscle contractions in the jaw and neck, but can eventually spread to other parts of the body. Without treatment, tetanus infection can be life-threatening. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of tetanus infections are fatal (CDC). <P> About 10% of those infected die. Tetanus is caused by an infection with the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is commonly found in soil, dust and manure. The bacteria generally enter through a break in the skin such as a cut or puncture wound by a contaminated object. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is an infection characterized by muscle spasms. In the most common type the spasms begin in the jaw and then progress to the rest of the body. These spasms usually last a few minutes each time and occur frequently for three to four weeks <P> Tetanus: Causes, symptoms and prevention. Tetanus is a serious infection caused by bacteria getting into the body through a wound, such as a cut, bite or burn. Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani bacterium, which is found in soil, dust and animal and human waste faeces. <P> 1 Tetanus is caused by a type of bacteria (Clostridium tetani). 2 The tetanus bacteria often enter the body through a puncture wound, which can be caused by nails, splinters, insect bites, burns, any skin break, and injection-drug sites. 3 All children and adults should be immunized against tetanus by receiving vaccinations. The bacteria that cause tetanus can be found in soil, manure, or dust. They infect humans by entering the body through cuts or puncture wounds, particularly when the wound area is dirty. Animal bites, burns, and non-sterile injection of drugs can also lead to infection with Clostridium tetani. <P> Tetanus is caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani that can be found in dust, dirt, and animal droppings. A person can become infected when these bacteria enter the bloodstream through a cut or deep wound. Tetanus infection has also been associated with: Tetanus is also commonly called lockjaw, because the infection primarily causes muscle contractions in the jaw and neck, but can eventually spread to other parts of the body. Without treatment, tetanus infection can be life-threatening. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of tetanus infections are fatal (CDC). <P> Knowledge center. Tetanus (or lockjaw) is a serious infection caused by Clostridium tetani bacteria which produce a toxin that affects the brain and nervous system. The toxin leads to stiffness in the jaw muscles as well as other muscles. Symptoms of tetanus. Tetanus symptoms usually emerge about 10 days after initial infection, however this can vary from 4 days to about 3 weeks, and in some cases may take months. In general, the further the injury site is from the central nervous system, the longer the incubation period.

dna contains the code for constructing which molecules
|
<P> Superimpose code. The genetic code by which DNA stores the genetic information consists of codons of three nucleotides. The functional segments of DNA which code for the transfer of genetic information are called genes. With four possible bases, the three nucleotides can give 4 3 = 64 different possibilities, and these combinations are used to specify the 20 different amino acids used by living organisms. They are formally matched to follow the genetic code. The building blocks for proteins are the 20 amino acids used in life, and each is attached to a specific transfer RNA molecule so that protein building materials are available in the intracellular medium. <P> DNA to RNA Transcription. The DNA contains the master plan for the creation of the proteins and other molecules and systems of the cell, but the carrying out of the plan involves transfer of the relevant information to RNA in a process called transcription. The RNA to which the information is transcribed is messenger RNA (mRNA). The process associated with RNA polymerase is to unwind the DNA and build a strand of mRNA by placing on the growing mRNA molecule the base complementary to that on the template strand of the DNA. <P> DNA structure. DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic cod <P> 1 A gene is a small section of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific molecule, usually a protein. 2 The purpose of genes is to store information. 3 Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism. Genes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins. They contain the instructions for our individual characteristics – like eye and hair colour. 1 A gene is a small section of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific molecule, usually a protein. 2 The purpose of genes is to store information. 3 Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism. 4 The 5 ... G <P> In the mRNA, Uracil is substituted for thymine as the base complementary to adenine. Since the other strand of the DNA has bases complementary to the template strand, the mRNA has the same sequence of bases at the upper strand of DNA shown above (with U substituted for T) , which is called the coding strand. The RNA to which the information is transcribed is messenger RNA (mRNA). The process associated with RNA polymerase is to unwind the DNA and build a strand of mRNA by placing on the growing mRNA molecule the base complementary to that on the template strand of the DNA. <P> Deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA): Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diˌɒksiˌraɪbɵ.njuːˌkleɪ.ɨk ˈaesɪd/ , ˈæsɪd OR, dna is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living (organisms with the exception OF rna). viruses Genes are made from a long molecule called DNA, which is copied and inherited across generations. DNA is made of simple units that line up in a particular order within this large molecule. The order of these units carries genetic information, similar to how the order of letters on a page carry information. <P> The sequence of bases in DNA operates as a true code in that it contains the information necessary to build a protein expressed in a four-letter alphabet of bases which is transcribed to mRNA and then translated to the twenty-amino-acid alphabet necessary to build the protein. They are formally matched to follow the genetic code. The building blocks for proteins are the 20 amino acids used in life, and each is attached to a specific transfer RNA molecule so that protein building materials are available in the intracellular medium. <P> The basic unit of structure for a DNA molecule is the nucleotide. A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar molecule, and a nitrogen-containing base (A, T, C, or G). The instructions carried on DNA are used to make proteins from amino acids in the cytoplasm. <P> DNA is a complex molecule that is found in all living organisms. Constructing DNA models is a great way to learn about DNA structure, function and replication. DNA contains the genetic information for the reproduction of life.

what does a pemf coil do
|
<P> Coils in PEMF therapy. Coil bed Field lines body coil. We can see here the magnetic field lines for a cylindrical PEMF coil. The red rectangle shows the position of the body for the person during pulsed electromagnetic field treatment. The actual pulsed electromagnetic field energy for this PEMF cylindrical coil is for the major part local and inside the cylinder coil and its efficacy does not extend outside the cylindrical coil. The therapy is local in the area where the coil is placed and such systems are unsuitable for whole body therapy <P> In 2004, pulsed electromagnetic field system was approved by FDA as an adjunct to cervical fusion surgery in patients at high risk for non-fusion. Today, there is a wide variety of professional and consumer PEMF devices that are sold on the internet as wellness devices. Weak magnetic stimulation of the brain is often called transcranial pulsed electromagnetic field (tPEMF) therapy. Early hints of efficacy of tPEMF as antidepressant came from observations that bipolar patients improved their mood after a magnetic resonance spectrogram. <P> To test whether the coil is working, place the PEMF device on a very slow frequency, the Delta Wave in the Brain Wave Series. Then place a compass near the coils, and see if the needle gets deflected by the pulse. If you choose a higher frequency, the magnetic strength is not high enough to deflect the compass needle. And what coil size is recommended (10, 20 or 40 inch) and what does the different lengths do in regards to treatment (I’m very new to the science part here). Thankyou and a great website. Can’t wait to build my own pemf. <P> Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT), also called pulsed magnetic therapy, pulse magnetotherapy, or PEMF, is a reparative technique most commonly used in the field of orthopedics for the treatment of non-union fractures, failed fusions, congenital pseudarthrosis and depression. Weak magnetic stimulation of the brain is often called transcranial pulsed electromagnetic field (tPEMF) therapy. Early hints of efficacy of tPEMF as antidepressant came from observations that bipolar patients improved their mood after a magnetic resonance spectrogram. <P> Here we see the magnetic field lines for surface coils. The red rectangle indicates the position of the body. The energy of this surface coil extends evenly over the surface, even in case multiple coils are arranged inside a flat pad or mattress applicator. The coils in the mattress are placed in such a way that the magnetic field is evenly spread out, as far as this is mathematically possible. PEMF Coil In addition there are very efficient high energy coils available for localized therapy, e.g. spine & hips or for hand, elbow & feet. <P> One way to make a PEMF device is to use an MP3 player and an off-the-self electromagnetic coil that plugs into a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone jack. Create a sound file using the frequency generator functions of Audacity or sox, and play this file from the MP3 player. That coil would have to have a magnetic field that measures in the 30 to 90 microTesla range, and it would have to be able to be pulsed in the 5 to 45 Hz frequency range, since that is roughly the strength and frequency of the Earth's own magnetic field. <P> Coils.

what color are liver flukes
|
<P> The type of liver fluke endemic to our area is called Fascioloides magna. These flukes are flat, elongated, oval, and look like “leeches”. They are purple-gray in color and are found while cutting open the liver either in the packing plant or by a post-mortem examination. In the northern and northwestern regions of Minnesota the natural host of this fluke is the white-tailed deer making exposure control to this parasite difficult. When the eggs hatch, they enter snails, which then become an intermediate host. Further development of the larvae (young flukes) occurs in vegetation until ingested by cattle. The larvae then migrate from the intestine to the liver. This migration pattern can sometimes cause massive hemorrhage or blood loss in cattle. <P> Clonorchis sinensis is the latin name of the human liver fluke. Liver flukes affecting animals come in a variety of species including Fasciola hepatica, which is the common li … ver fluke/sheep liver fluke. They all belong to class trematoda of the plathyhelminthes phylum It's scientific name is Fasciola hepatica. The liver fluke's reproduction is part of a cycle: 1. Pasasite in an ant's cranium 2. Ant hangs from tip of leaf 3. Rabbit eats ant 4. Liver fluke le … aves ant and produces eggs 5. Eggs are excreted over time 6. <P> Liver fluke is caused by a parasite Fasciloa hepatica. Fluke eggs, which are passed in the faeces of a mammalian host, develop and hatch into motile ciliated miracidia-a process which takes nine days at the optimal temperature of 22 to 26 o. Development will not occur below 10 o. Youngstock tend to be more susceptible to fluke, however adult cattle do still suffer from the disease. Depending on the level of infection, liver fluke could cost producers between £20-25 per head. Diagnosis of liver fluke is not simple. <P> Types of flukes include: Blood flukes – can cause blood clots in their host, often associated with strokes, high blood pressure, or heart attack. Fish flukes – cause skin problems, liver and intestinal pressure, gas and other digestive problems. Avoid undercooked fish. <P> Liver flukes are parasites. They are a polyphyletic group of trematodes (phylum Platyhelminthes). Adults of liver flukes are localized in the liver of various mammals, including humans. These flatworms can occur in bile ducts, gallbladder, and liver parenchyma. They feed on blood. Adult flukes produce eggs which are passed into the intestine. It depends on two intermediate hosts (a snail and a fish) to complete its life cycle. Examples include: 1 Clonorchis sinensis (the Chinese liver fluke or the Oriental liver fluke). 2 Dicrocoelium dendriticum (lancet liver fluke). 3 Dicrocoelium hospes. <P> Life Cycle. The adult liver fluke resides in the bile ducts of the animal's liver. The adult liver flukes produce eggs which are carried with bile to the gut and are then passed in the feces (see Figure 1). . In the fecal pat, a ciliated larva called a miracidium develops inside the liver fluke egg. The liver fluke is a problem in the Gulf Coast states and the Pacific Northwest; in Florida, most infected cattle are found grazing low-lying pastures in the peninsula, south and east of the Suwannee River. <P> The common liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) is recognized as one of the most damaging parasites in Florida cattle. The liver fluke is a problem in the Gulf Coast states and the Pacific Northwest; in Florida, most infected cattle are found grazing low-lying pastures in the peninsula, south and east of the Suwannee River. <P> Background. Numerous trematodes cause disease in humans. These include the schistosomes, which live in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, various liver flukes (eg, Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchiasis species), and the intestinal trematodes (flukes). This review focuses on only the intestinal trematodes. <P> After a period of 10-15 weeks in the liver, the adult flukes move to the bile ducts and produce eggs. Acute fascioliasis is marked by abdominal pain with headache, loss of appetite, anemia, and vomiting. Some patients develop hives, muscle pains, or a yellow-color to the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice).

which substance is an abnormal constituent of urine
|
<P> 4. Name four confirmatory tests performed on urine and the constituent of urine detected.(4 points)a.b.c.d.5. State an abnormal condition which would cause the following constituents to be present in theurine (2 points):a. bilirubinb. nitritesc. urobilinogend. leukocytes6. Bilirubin is a breakdown product of hemoglobin which produces an extremely yellowcolor in urine and may be an indication of liver disease, hepatitis or bile duct obstruction. Samples suspected of containing bilirubin should be handled cautiously because of the possibilityof hepatitis. <P> 1 Qualitative analysis of urine for abnormal constituents Dr. Mahesha H B, Yuvaraja’s College, Mysore. Substances which are not present in easily detectable amounts in urine of normal healthy individuals but are present in the urine under certain diseased conditions are said to be Abnormal constituents of urine. <P> Normally, urine contains water and wastes, such as urea, uric acid, creatinine, and some ions. However, some of these substances may be abnormally elevated, which usually indicates that something is wrong with the body. The following are some of the abnormal constituents of urine and some possible causes. Albumin. Albumin is a type of protein, which is a normal component of plasma—the fluid component of blood. When albumin is found to be excessive in the urine, it may indicate that the tiny filtering units in the kidney, called nephrons, are damaged or destroyed. Elevated albumin in the urine is termed albuminuria. It may indicate damage to the kidney, such as in renal or kidney disease. Sometimes, blood may be present because of the presence of kidney stones. White blood cells. When white blood cells are present in the urine, it may indicate infections in the kidney or other organs of the urinary tract. <P> 1 Approx. 2 95% of the volume of normal urine is due to water. 3 The other 5% consists of solutes (chemicals that are dissolved in the water). 4 Some of these solutes are the results of normal biochemical activity within the cells of the body. Other components of urine include sodium chloride (common salt), and over 100 other substances that are usually present, but only in trace (i.e. very small) quantities. Urine is aprox. 95% water. The other components of normal urine are the solutes that are dissolved in the water component of the urine. <P> characteristics and constituents of urine. Abnormal components of urine is a different topic. : The Properties and Composition of normal human urine. 1 Recognition and analysis of abnormalities of urine can provide information about the condition of the body. Other components of urine include sodium chloride (common salt), and over 100 other substances that are usually present, but only in trace (i.e. very small) quantities. Urine is aprox. 95% water. The other components of normal urine are the solutes that are dissolved in the water component of the urine. <P> 1 Smell: The smell (or odour, which is the more clinical term, American spelling odor) of urine may provide health information. 2 For example, urine of diabetics may have a sweet or fruity odour due to the presence of ketones (organic molecules of a particular structure). Other components of urine include sodium chloride (common salt), and over 100 other substances that are usually present, but only in trace (i.e. very small) quantities. Urine is aprox. 95% water. The other components of normal urine are the solutes that are dissolved in the water component of the urine. <P> Sugar or glucose, is an abnormal constituent in urine because the body seeks to filter and reabsorb any molecules that are beneficial to life. In normal concentrations in the … blood, glucose is reabsorbed efficiently by the renal tubules and there won't be a measurable amount in the urine. 2- Damage to the capillaries membranes as in glomerulonephritis. Following proteins can be excreted in abnormal urine: Albumin and globulin are found in the urine in the condition called proteinuria, also in nephrotic syndrome and glomerular nephritis. hemoglobin is excreted in urinay tract infections. Myoglobin is excreted due to muscular atrophy etc <P> Sugar or glucose, is an abnormal constituent in urine because the body seeks to filter and reabsorb any molecules that are beneficial to life. In normal concentrations in the … blood, glucose is reabsorbed efficiently by the renal tubules and there won't be a measurable amount in the urine. Normal constituents of urine Protein: In normal condition we excrete 20-80 mg protein in a day. But when albumin and globulin are found in illness condition then it is called … Proteinuria. When a patient is suffering from nephritis, nephrosis, leucomia then excess amount of protein is detected in urine.

what is a positive strep test
|
<P> Group B Strep Infection: GBS. Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacterial infection that can be found in a pregnant woman’s vagina or rectum. This bacteria is normally found in the vagina and/or rectum of about 25% of all healthy, adult women. Women who test positive for GBS are said to be colonized. Group B strep is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD) . The bacteria that causes group B strep normally lives in the intestines, vagina, or rectum, and approximately 25% of all healthy women carry group B strep bacteria. For most women there are no symptoms of carrying the GBS bacteria. <P> Strep tests are used to determine whether a person with a sore throat (pharyngitis) has strep throat, an infection of the throat and tonsils caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, also called group A streptococcus (GAS). A negative rapid test indicates that the affected person probably does not have strep throat, but a throat culture may be performed for confirmation, especially among children and adolescents. If the throat culture is positive for group A streptococci, then the person tested does have strep throat. <P> For a rapid strep test, the throat and tonsils are swabbed to collect bacteria from the infected area for testing. The bacteria are analyzed to see whether Group A strep (streptococcal) bacteria are causing the sore throat. A good sample of throat secretions is needed to make sure the test is accurate. A normal or negative test means that strep bacteria may not be present. 1 Sometimes, negative results are wrong. 2 A throat culture may be done if the rapid strep test result is negative. <P> The rapid strep test (RST), or rapid antigen detection test (RADT), is a rapid diagnostic test that is widely used in clinics to assist in the diagnosis of bacterial pharyngitis caused by group A streptococci (GAS), sometimes termed strep throat. <P> 1 Sometimes, negative results are wrong. 2 This means that you may have a negative rapid strep test result and still have strep throat. 3 A throat culture may be done if the rapid strep test result is negative. A normal or negative test means that strep bacteria may not be present. 1 Sometimes, negative results are wrong. 2 A throat culture may be done if the rapid strep test result is negative. <P> Sometimes a rapid strep test is used to check for strep. Your doctor may confirm the results of the rapid strep test with a throat culture. Current treatment guidelines recommend that your doctor confirm strep throat with a lab test, such as a throat culture, and not diagnose strep throat just from your symptoms. 1 Rapid strep test analyzes the bacteria in your throat to see if strep is the cause of your sore throat. 2 The doctor uses a cotton swab to gather cells from the back of your throat for testing. <P> A throat culture is more accurate. 1 A negative rapid strep test result can mean there are no strep bacteria present. 2 If the rapid strep test result is positive, a throat culture isn't needed. 1 Rapid strep test analyzes the bacteria in your throat to see if strep is the cause of your sore throat. 2 The doctor uses a cotton swab to gather cells from the back of your throat for testing. <P> 1 If the rapid strep test result is negative but strep throat is still suspected, your doctor may order a throat culture to verify the results. 2 If the rapid strep test result is positive, a throat culture isn't needed. 3 Antibiotic treatment can be started right away. 1 Rapid strep test analyzes the bacteria in your throat to see if strep is the cause of your sore throat. 2 The doctor uses a cotton swab to gather cells from the back of your throat for testing. <P> Normal. A normal or negative test means that strep bacteria may not be present. 1 Sometimes, negative results are wrong. 2 This means that you may have a negative rapid strep test result and still have strep throat. 3 A throat culture may be done if the rapid strep test result is negative. A normal or negative test means that strep bacteria may not be present. 1 Sometimes, negative results are wrong. 2 A throat culture may be done if the rapid strep test result is negative.

what makes an element distinct
|
<P> Best Answer: The number of protons (the atomic number) because that won't change. The number of electrons of an element can change, in which case the element becomes an ion and if the number of neutrons vary, it's called an isotope. <P> Answer The atomic number or z number or the number of protons is what makes one atom different from another. Answer The atomic number or z number or t … he number of protons is what makes one atom different from another. Elements are made of three things: electrons, neutrons and protons. The electrons give its charge, the neutrons keep it all in place and the protons tell you what element it i … s. Therefore, in order to change an element to another, you either add or remove protons. <P> Elements and compounds are pure chemical substances found in nature. The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Meaning. A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio. An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom. Distinguishing Feature. Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds. <P> These different versions of hydrogen are called isotopes. All isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons, but have a different number of neutrons. If you change the number of neutrons an atom has, you make an isotope of that element. Currently, scientists know of 118 different elements. Some, like gold, silver, copper and carbon, have been known for thousands of years. <P> One element differs from another element by the number of protons in their atoms. The number of protons in the atom is known as the atomic number. Also one isotope of … an element differs from another isotope of the same element by the number of neutrons in their atoms. Elements are made of three things: electrons, neutrons and protons. The electrons give its charge, the neutrons keep it all in place and the protons tell you what element it i … s. Therefore, in order to change an element to another, you either add or remove protons. <P> The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another. Elements are made of three things: electrons, neutrons and protons. The electrons give its charge, the neutrons keep it all in place and the protons tell you what element it i … s. Therefore, in order to change an element to another, you either add or remove protons. <P> A chemical element or element is a chemical substance consisting of atoms having the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei (i.e. the same atomic number, Z). The mass number of an element, A, is the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the atomic nucleus. Different isotopes of a given element are distinguished by their mass numbers, which are conventionally written as a superscript on the left hand side of the atomic symbol (e.g., 238 U). <P> A chemical element consists of those atoms with a specific number of protons in the nucleus; this number is called the atomic number. The atoms of an element may differ in the number of neutrons; atoms with different neutron numbers are said to be different isotopes of the element. Elements are represented by a chemical symbol, with the atomic number and mass number sometimes affixed as indicated below. Ordinary matter is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons and is composed of atoms. An atom consists of a tiny nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, on the order of 20,000 times smaller than the size of the atom. <P> Hi, I'm wondering which of these makes an element unique from other elements. - atomic number. - mass number. - atomic weight. I know that the atomic number (number of protons) makes it unique, but I'm confused as to if any of the others are unique to each element too.

<P> What are the sources of water for the body. How does the body lose water. Diagram the mammalian urinary system showing internal structure of the kidney in detail. Diagram the nephron including the glomerular capillaries, Bowmans capsule, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal, tubule and collecting duct. List the role of each structure in producing urine and controlling the composition of body fluids. 1. Diagram the anatomy of the male and female reproductive systems. Color site of gamete (define) production blue, transport tubes yellow, and site of hormone production red dots. 2. Name and describe the functions of the hormones produced by the ovary and testes. <P> Changes that occur in the urinary system with aging include all of the following. a decline in the number of functional nephrons. a reduction in the GFR (glomerular filtration rate). problems with the micturition reflex. loss of sphincter muscle tone. <P> A. proximal convoluted tubuleB. descending limb of the nephron loopC. collecting ductD. ascending limb of the nephron loop. A. proximal convoluted tubuleB. descending limb of the nephron loopC. collecting ductD. ascending limb of the nephron loop. 8. <P> How does Nephron work. The nephrons role is for the blood to filtered and urine formed. In each nephron, high pressure in the glomerulus pushes water and small dissolved materials into extravascular space of the Bowman’s capsule and into the tubule. The urine then passes through the collecting ducts through the drainage system of the kidney to the ureters and bladder for urination. T he counter current system is similar to the nephron because the loop of henle is to be able to create dilute urine or concentrated urine depending on what the body wants and needs. <P> Increased stretching of smooth muscle fibers in afferent arteriole walls due increased blood pressure. - stimulates to contract smooth muscle fibers, thereby narrowing the lumen of the afferent arteriolar.

The excess … is eventually sent to the collecting duct and turned into pee while the nutrients that are needed are re-filtered into the blood stream. In the kidneys (only place where physical filtration takes place), the glomeruli consist of capillaries with gaps between the cells ... thus acting as a sieve. <P> Fluid later passes from the distal tubule to the collecting ducts. Ultra filtration occurs in the cortex in the cortical collecting ducts, which is the last process of the nephron. The urine then passes through the collecting ducts through the drainage system of the kidney to the ureters and bladder for urination. T he counter current system is similar to the nephron because the loop of henle is to be able to create dilute urine or concentrated urine depending on what the body wants and needs. <P> The thick ascending limb of the nephron loop (loop of Henle) is almost impermeable to water, but reabsorbs sodium, potassium, and chloride ions from the filtrate. a decline in the number of functional nephrons. a reduction in the GFR (glomerular filtration rate). problems with the micturition reflex. loss of sphincter muscle tone. <P> The actual fertilization usually occurs in the fallopian tube. Fertilization occurs within 12-24 hours after ovulation. Ovulation usually takes place 14 days afte … r your menstruation starts. Ovulation can vary from woman to woman it can happen before day 14 and after; it doesn't always have to be on day 14. Answer by Gauravmicro. Confidence votes 9.5K. In humans internal fertilization is found and it occurs during after intercourse when male ejaculated its sperm in female vagina and when one sperm cell fuse with ovum of female then fertilization occur and which produce an egg cell. <P> The loop of Henle salts will be excreted in the urine, making a concentration gradient in the medulla. The Henle’s loop is absorbant to particular ions with the cortical thick draining into the distal convoluted tubule. The urine then passes through the collecting ducts through the drainage system of the kidney to the ureters and bladder for urination. T he counter current system is similar to the nephron because the loop of henle is to be able to create dilute urine or concentrated urine depending on what the body wants and needs.

when someone blocks your number what do you hear
|
<P> This report page is a snippet summary view from a single thread When someone has blocked your number, what sound do you hear when you call them?, located on the Message Board at http://www.mumsnet.com. This thread profile page shows the thread statistics for: Total Authors, Total Thread Posts, and Thread Activity. <P> (0). If a person you've blocked tries to call his phone number, they will typically hear a message stating the person is not available at this time. When they try to text, they'll get a message that the number is not accepting messages at this time. Non AT&T customers do not get a response. <P> you voted. Answer by bash (1026). If someone has blocked your phone number, the announcement your telephone is out of service or your telephone is temporarily dis-connected will be heard. In most of the cases only engage tone <P> (0). This is the message they will hear if they try to call a number you have blocked. We’re sorry but the phone number you are trying to reach has been blocked by your wireless account owner. <P> If a phone number is truly blocked, the caller will not be able to leave a voicemail but if you're hitting decline or using a reject call list on your phone, that does not block the number it just means you won't get a call. The caller will still be able to leave voicemail. <P> Call the number from your phone. Listen to how many times the phone rings. If the phone rings three or four times, your friend may be ignoring you, but he isn't blocking you. If you hear a single ring, or no ring at all, your number may have been blocked. Listen carefully to the message.

incubation period for flu
|
<P> Incubation Period. According to the CDC, although the incubation period can range from one to four days, the typical incubation period is two days. People can begin infecting others about one day before any symptoms of the virus appear, and are contagious for about a week after that. Signs of the flu include high fever, headache, extreme fatigue, sore throat, coughing, muscle aches and pains, and sometimes a runny or stuffy nose. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year between 5 and 20 percent of people in the United States get the flu. <P> The estimated incubation period is unknown and could range from 1 to 7 days, and more likely 1 to 4 days. Persons with novel H1N1 flu virus infection should be considered potentially contagious (able to spread disease) for up to 7 days after illness onset. <P> 1 Incubation period: after exposure, a person will come down with swine flu symptoms in 4 to 6 days (5 days on the average). 2 An outer limit rarely could be 7 days. 3 This virus has a longer incubation period than seasonal flu (1 to 3 days). 1 Expected course: like regular flu, the fever lasts 2-3 days, the runny/congested nose 1-2 weeks and the cough 2-3 weeks. 2 With some flu viruses, the fever lasts 4 or 5 days. 3 Contagious period: a person is contagious for 1 day prior to and for 7 days after the onset of symptoms (e.g., the fever and cough). <P> Ascertainment of the incubation period for influenza virus (H5N1) is important to define exposure periods for surveillance of patients with suspected influenza virus (H5N1) infection. Limited data on the incubation period suggest that illness onset occurs 7 days after the last exposure to sick or dead poultry (1 – 4). <P> Whether or not a person is contagious during the stomach flu incubation period will depend on which stomach flu virus the person is infected with. For example, with a rotavirus infection, the person is contagious during the stomach flu incubation period. This person is also contagious while experiencing stomach flu symptoms. Once the diarrhea has ended, a person with rotavirus gastroenteritis is no longer contagious. <P> The typical incubation period for influenza is 1—4 days (average: 2 days). Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Among generally healthy older adolescents and adults living in areas with confirmed influenza virus circulation, estimates of the positive predictive value of a simple clinical definition of influenza (acute onset of cough and fever) for laboratory-confirmed influenza infection have varied (range: 79%—88%). <P> Like most emerging disease, A(H5N1) influenza in humans is not well understood. The incubation period for A(H5N1) avian influenza may be longer than that for normal seasonal influenza, which is around 2 to 3 days. Current data for A(H5N1) infection indicate an incubation period ranging from 2 to 8 days and possibly as long as 17 days. <P> Dr. Clements: When you get infected with the flu virus, it multiplies quietly in body until you get symptoms of the disease and start excreting enough virus to give to someone else. That's the incubation period. For the flu, it is about two to five days. So if you are exposed today, you probably won't have any symptoms for three to five days. Then you have a little headache, maybe a few aches and pains and maybe a low fever. Then, the next day, you have a high fever and a runny nose. <P> 1 With some flu viruses, the fever lasts 4 or 5 days. 2 Contagious period: a person is contagious for 1 day prior to and for 7 days after the onset of symptoms (e.g., the fever and cough). 3 Incubation period: after exposure, a person will come down with swine flu symptoms in 4 to 6 days (5 days on the average). 1 Expected course: like regular flu, the fever lasts 2-3 days, the runny/congested nose 1-2 weeks and the cough 2-3 weeks. 2 With some flu viruses, the fever lasts 4 or 5 days. 3 <P> When a person becomes infected with stomach flu, the virus begins to multiply within the small intestine. After approximately 1 to 2 days, depending on the virus, stomach flu symptoms can appear. This period between the stomach flu transmission and the start of symptoms is the stomach flu incubation period.. In some cases, the stomach flu incubation period can be as short as 4 hours. For example, with a rotavirus infection, the person is contagious during the stomach flu incubation period. This person is also contagious while experiencing stomach flu symptoms. Once the diarrhea has ended, a person with rotavirus gastroenteritis is no longer contagious.

age of neutering rabbits
|
<P> Answer: The quick answer: at about the age at which the rabbit reaches the age of sexual maturity. For the majority of rabbits, this means at about 4-6 months of age. Giant breeds of rabbits may reach maturity a couple of months later so the surgery might be done a little later in these breeds if necessary. <P> We recommend neutering when your rabbit is 4 months old, although older rabbits can be neutered. If your rabbit is over 3 years of age we advise you to speak to a veterinary surgeon before arranging spaying or castration. In Females. 1 Your rabbit will not be able to become pregnant. 2 Up to 80% of unspayed females develop cancer of the womb by the age of 5 years. 3 Entire female rabbits often develop behavioural problems, such as aggression, territorial behaviour and inappropriate toileting. <P> Information on the recomended early neutering of pet rabbits. It is highly recommended to neuter female rabbits to prevent the occurance of malignant uterine tumours (uterine adenocarcinoma). Some studies have found that almost 80% of rabbits will develop malignant changes in their uterus by 6 years of age. <P> Spaying female rabbits is very important for health reasons. If left unspayed, the risk of uterine cancer is approximately 80% above the age of 5 years old, and this is usually fatal. It can also affect females that have been bred. <P> 1 Spaying and neutering for rabbits has become a safe procedure when performed by experienced rabbit veterinarians. 2 The House Rabbit Society has had over 1000 rabbits spayed or neutered with approximately .1% mortality due to anesthesia. Spay/neuter costs vary tremendously in different areas of the country. The low end of the range can be as inexpensive as $50-75 (often in spay/neuter clinics), while vets in major metropolitan areas, where rents and labor costs are very high, often charge several hundred dollars. <P> 1 The risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, uterine, mammarian) for an unspayed female rabbit stands at is virtually eliminated by spaying your female rabbit. 2 Your neutered male rabbit will live longer as well, given that he won’t be tempted to fight with other animals (rabbits, cats, etc.) due to his sexual aggression. Spay/neuter costs vary tremendously in different areas of the country. The low end of the range can be as inexpensive as $50-75 (often in spay/neuter clinics), while vets in major metropolitan areas, where rents and labor costs are very high, often charge several hundred dollars. <P> (Neutering) in the rabbit. Male rabbits become sexually mature from 4 months of age, and female rabbits from 5 months of age. Entire male and female rabbits therefore need to be kept separately from 16 weeks old if you do not wish them to breed. In Females. 1 Your rabbit will not be able to become pregnant. 2 Up to 80% of unspayed females develop cancer of the womb by the age of 5 years. 3 Entire female rabbits often develop behavioural problems, such as aggression, territorial behaviour and inappropriate toileting. <P> Some veterinarians may want to wait until the rabbit is older at ~6 months. Males can be neutered as soon as their testicles descend, usually around 3 months of age. Some rabbits may have testicles descend at around 10-12 weeks. Motile spermatozoa appear in the ejaculate from about 4 months of age. Some veterinarians may want to wait until the rabbit is older at ~5 months. If they are too young, the neutering may require abdominal surgery which makes the process more complicated. <P> WHEN TO SPAY/NEUTER. Female rabbits reach sexual maturity at about 6 months of age and should be spayed at this point; male rabbits reach sexual maturity between 3 1/2 and 4 months (as soon as the testicles descend) and should be neutered at this point. Opposite-gender rabbits will have to be housed separately until both are fixed. <P> Spaying/neutering your rabbit will also help with potty training. Once your house rabbit reaches a certain age (usually around 6 months), they will start to scatter their droppings to mark their territory. Spaying/neutering the rabbit will stop this, usually. If you get two rabbits, they will both have to be spayed/neutered or they may fight constantly.

what were president lincoln's reasons for issuing the emancipation proclamation
|
<P> The Emancipation Proclamation. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared that all persons held as slaves within the rebellious states are, and henceforward shall be free.. The original of the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, is in the National Archives in Washington, DC. With the text covering five pages the document was originally tied with narrow red and blue ribbons, which were attached to the signature page by a wafered impression of the seal of the United States. <P> Publisher. A+E Networks. On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issues a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which sets a date for the freedom of more than 3 million black slaves in the United States and recasts the Civil War as a fight against slavery. On January 1, 1863, Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation, which declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebel states “are, and henceforward shall be free.” The proclamation also called for the recruitment and establishment of black military units among the Union forces. <P> When the Confederacy did not yield, Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st, 1863. Fact #2: The Emancipation Proclamation only applied to the states in rebellion. President Lincoln justified the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure intended to cripple the Confederacy. Fact #3: Lincoln’s advisors did not initially support the Emancipation Proclamation. When President Lincoln first proposed the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet in the summer of 1862, many of the cabinet secretaries were apathetic, or worse, worried that the Proclamation was too radical. <P> Hannah Johnson, mother of a Northern Black soldier, writing to President Abraham Lincoln about the Emancipation Proclamation, July 31, 1863. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared that all persons held as slaves within the rebellious states are, and henceforward shall be free.. <P> The Emancipation Proclamation was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. In a single stroke, it changed the federal legal status of more than 3 million enslaved persons in the designated areas of the South from slave to free.. On September 22, 1862, Lincoln had issued a preliminary proclamation warning that he would order the emancipation of all slaves in any state that did not end its rebellion against the Union by January 1, 1863. <P> Read the transcript of the Emancipation Proclamation. See emancipation proclamation text. Emancipation Proclamation summary: The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, as the country entered the third year of the Civil War. <P> The following document is the Emancipation Proclamation, made by President Lincoln on September 22, 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation granted freedom to the slaves in the Confederate States if the States did not return to the Union by January 1, 1863. In addition, under this proclamation, freedom would only come to the slaves if the Union won the war <P> (Answer #3). The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Lincoln during the Civil War so that slaves would be freed. The only slaves that were affected by this were the ones in the United States, not the ones in the Confederacy. As a result of this important document, Europe was less likely to help the South in their battle. <P> Fact #1: Lincoln actually issued the Emancipation Proclamation twice. Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22nd, 1862. It stipulated that if the Southern states did not cease their rebellion by January 1st, 1863, then Proclamation would go into effect. Fact #3: Lincoln’s advisors did not initially support the Emancipation Proclamation. When President Lincoln first proposed the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet in the summer of 1862, many of the cabinet secretaries were apathetic, or worse, worried that the Proclamation was too radical.

where does the word demon come from
|
<P> The Ancient Greek word δαίμων daimōn denotes a spirit or divine power, much like the Latin genius or numen. Daimōn most likely came from the Greek verb daiesthai (to divide, distribute). The Greek conception of a daimōns notably appears in the works of Plato, where it describes the divine inspiration of Socrates. In Islam, evil jinn are referred to as the shayātīn or demons/devils, with Iblis (Satan) as their chief. Iblis was one of the first jinn; he disobeyed Allah and did not bow down before Adam refusing to acknowledge a creature made of clay. Thus, Iblis was banished from Jannah (Heaven). <P> (No offense) Demon is a greek term (stemming from the word daemon) and it means spiritual guardian the term became evil when Christians made it so because it didn't agree with THEIR beliefs. Some people believe that demons are the angels that fell into sin and they come from hell, although this isn't … exactly biblical lore ... it's add ons over the years.

Some people believe that demons are the angels that fell into sin and they come from hell, although this isn't … exactly biblical lore ... it's add ons over the years. Now that's a opinon, and every one has one. <P> A demon, daemon (from Koine Greek δαιμόνιον daimonion), or fiend is a supernatural, often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology and folklore. In Islam, evil jinn are referred to as the shayātīn or demons/devils, with Iblis (Satan) as their chief. Iblis was one of the first jinn; he disobeyed Allah and did not bow down before Adam refusing to acknowledge a creature made of clay. Thus, Iblis was banished from Jannah (Heaven). <P> Answer: The word 'demon' is an anglicized version of the Greek word 'daimon.' Strong's dictionary defines a demon as a 'supernatural spirit (of a bad nature).' We do not know why the King James translators chose to use the word 'devil' instead. Perhaps that was the more common word back in 1611. The New King James Bible translates the word 'daimon' as 'demon' 45 times in the New Testament. This word was used among the ancient Greeks. For example, Socrates spoke of a wise daimon who imparted wisdom to him. <P> The word shedim (Hebr. for demons or spirits) appears only in two places in the Tanakh (Psalm 106:37, Deuteronomy 32:17). In both places, the term appears in a scriptural context of animal or child sacrifice to non-existent false gods that are called shedim. In Islam, evil jinn are referred to as the shayātīn or demons/devils, with Iblis (Satan) as their chief. Iblis was one of the first jinn; he disobeyed Allah and did not bow down before Adam refusing to acknowledge a creature made of clay. Thus, Iblis was banished from Jannah (Heaven).

what sector of the economy has grown in russia
|
<P> Information Technology and Russia's Future. Russia’s extremely strong economic growth is one of the country’s recent major accomplishments. Undoubtedly, the natural resources sector has played a significant role in this achievement. However, economic growth based solely on the natural resources sector is neither sufficient nor sustainable. This sector’s role will only strengthen with time. Alongside oil & gas, Russia’s ICT is one of the two drivers of economic development. Since 2000, this sector has developed four times faster than the average performance of the Russian economy. ICT has demonstrated rapid, steady and stable growth in all of its segments. <P> For the period before 1989 see Agriculture in the Soviet Union and Agriculture in the Russian Empire. Agriculture in Russia survived a severe transition decline in the early 1990s as it struggled to transform from a command economy to a market-oriented system. <P> The IT market is one of the most dynamic sectors of the Russian economy. Russian software exports have risen from just $120 million in 2000 to $3.3 billion in 2010. Since the year 2000 the IT market has started growth rates of 30–40% a year, growing by 54% in 2006 alone. The petroleum industry in Russia is one of the largest in the world. Russia has the largest reserves, and is the largest exporter, of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth largest oil reserves, and is the largest exporter of oil in the world in absolute numbers. <P> Russia has a high-income mixed economy with state ownership in strategic areas of the economy. Market reforms in the 1990s privatized much of Russian industry and agriculture, with notable exceptions in the energy and defense-related sectors. The petroleum industry in Russia is one of the largest in the world. Russia has the largest reserves, and is the largest exporter, of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth largest oil reserves, and is the largest exporter of oil in the world in absolute numbers. <P> There were fears of the Russian economy going into recession from early 2014 - mainly as a result of the falling oil prices, the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine and the subsequent capital flight. However, the 2014 GDP growth remained positive at 0.6%. The petroleum industry in Russia is one of the largest in the world. Russia has the largest reserves, and is the largest exporter, of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth largest oil reserves, and is the largest exporter of oil in the world in absolute numbers. <P> Russia is the largest country in the world and the fifth largest economy. The Russian economy is commodity-driven. Russia is the world’s largest producer of oil (12 percent of world output), natural gas (18 percent) and nickel (20 percent). The energy sector is the most important, it contributes 20-25 percent of GDP, 65 percent of total exports and 30 percent of government budget revenue. <P> While people still support Mr Putin and Russia’s annexation of Crimea, they are starting to calculate the costs. Mr Dmitriev, who accurately predicted street protests in Moscow in 2011, argues that economic dissatisfaction is growing, although support for Mr Putin remains at a record high. The state of the Russian economy will affect Russia’s actions beyond its borders. In 2013 the Russian people were better off than at any previous point in history. Their priorities, says Mikhail Dmitriev, the head of New Economic Growth, a think-tank, switched from economic survival to imperial resurgence. <P> Six months ago, the price of oil—the lifeblood of the Russian economy—began to crater, and U.S.-led sanctions, implemented in the wake of Russia’s annexation of Crimea in Ukraine, were biting.

what is the difference between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity
|
<P> Those who have wheat allergies can be affected by a number of proteins that are found in wheat, including gluten. Unlike celiac disease, wheat allergies can be outgrown. Symptoms include skin rash, nasal congestion, headache, difficulty breathing, cramps, nausea or vomiting, and can be avoided with a wheat-free diet. Celiac disease is a rare and life-long autoimmune condition triggered by eating foods that contain gluten. Autoimmune responses occur when the body’s immune system mounts an attack against on its own tissues. <P> This is commonly found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley and oats (the problem with oats is mostly due to cross-contamination in processing facilities). While celiac disease is initially an autoimmune disorder, it is also a disease of malabsorption, because essential nutrients are not absorbed. Differences Between Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance & Sensitivity. Celiac disease (also spelled “coeliac”) is an immune reaction, a severe sudden onset allergic reaction, to the protein called gluten. <P> Find out how you can distinguish between celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and wheat allergy, so you could better manage your diet! Celiac Disease. Celiac disease is a rare and life-long autoimmune condition triggered by eating foods that contain gluten. Autoimmune responses occur when the body’s immune system mounts an attack against on its own tissues. <P> Celiac Disease (the word “Celiac” is from the Greek word “abdominal”) is the most severe form of gluten intolerance/gluten sensitivity. Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder (the immune system attacks itself) that damages the lining of the small intestine (the villi) and compromises the absorption of nutrients. It’s important to note that non-celiac gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity and Celiac Disease are NOT allergies. A Gluten Allergy (according to Health Now website): One develops allergic symptoms due to the immune system “labeling” something as a toxin or foreign invader. <P> Celiac Disease. Celiac is an autoimmune disease in which the toxic effects of gluten, a dietary protein, causes damage to the lining of the small intestine. It is this recurring insult to the body’s normal absorptive mechanism that leads to the clinical, serologic and histologic manifestations of celiac disease. On the other hand, non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a relatively recent term used to describe those individuals who cannot tolerate dietary gluten and may experience symptoms similar to those with <P> 2. Celiac disease is the first kind of gluten intolerance, which was diagnosed as early as the 1940s. 3. People having gluten intolerance and celiac disease have the same type of treatment as both are related to gluten and the best treatment available is a diet free from gluten. It is a broad term that is used for all types of sensitivity or intolerance to gluten. Celiac disease is the first kind of gluten intolerance, which was diagnosed as early as the 1940s. Celiac disease is an inflammation of the upper part of the small intestines, which is mainly caused by gluten intolerance. <P> Celiac disease and gluten intolerance are both conditions that cause people to become sensitive to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Gluten intolerance is a broad term that describes a range of sensitivities to gluten. People with celiac disease suffer from damage to their small intestines as a result of gluten consumption. The symptoms and the severity for celiac disease can range widely, and may include diarrhea or constipation, fatigue, weight loss or weight gain, general poor health, and Dermatitis Herpetiformis. <P> Summary. 1. Gluten intolerance is a broad term that is used for all types of sensitivity or intolerance to gluten. Celiac disease is an inflammation of the upper part of the small intestines, which is mainly caused by gluten intolerance. 2. It is a broad term that is used for all types of sensitivity or intolerance to gluten. Celiac disease is the first kind of gluten intolerance, which was diagnosed as early as the 1940s <P> Celiac disease can be diagnosed through a blood test, but it is often confirmed through a biopsy of the small bowel. It can also be associated with other autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disease and diabetes. Treatment for celiac disease involves the complete removal of gluten-containing foods from the diet. If gluten continues to be consumed, people experience significant negative effects on their health that are related to the malabsorption of essential nutrients and vitamins in their diet.

list fungi that are dimorphic
|
<P> Dimorphism is common with some members of the major divisions of the fungal kingdom, i.e., Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and mitosporic fungi. Some dimorphic fungi will switch to yeast or mold form depending on the prevailing temperature. These fungi are referred to as thermally dimorphic. Examples of Dimorphic Fungi in Indoor Environments. Examples of dimorphic fungi in indoor environments are Aureobasidium pullulans, Histoplasma capsulatum and Sporothrix spp. <P> 2. Dimorphic fungi. Dimorphic fungi may exhibit two different growth forms. Outside the body they grow as a mold, producing hyphae and asexual reproductive spores, but in the body they grow in a non-mycelial yeast form. 4. Dimorphic fungi may exhibit two different growth forms. Outside the body they grow as a mold, producing hyphae and asexual reproductive spores, but in the body they grow in a yeast-like form. 5. The appearance of a mold and the type of spores it produces is useful in its identification. <P> Generally the mycelial saprotrophic form grows at 25° C, and the yeast-like pathogenic form at 37° C. This dimorphism is important in the identification of mycoses, as it makes rapid identification of many pathogenic organisms possible. Some diseases caused by dimorphic fungi are: 1 sporotrichosis. <P> Yeasts are fungi that grow as single cells, producing daughter cells either by budding (the budding yeasts) or by binary fission (the fission yeasts). They differ from most fungi, which grow as thread-like hyphae. But this distinction is not a fundamental one, because some fungi can alternate between a yeast phase and a hyphal phase, depending on environmental conditions. Such fungi are termed dimorphic (with two shapes) and they include several that cause disease of humans. <P> The dimorphic fungi are phylogenetically related pathogens and include several species: Coccidioides, Paracoccidioides, Blastomyces, Lacazia loboi and Histoplasma. In the soil, both Coccidioides species produce hyphae and mitospores, and both are specifically adapted to live in mammals, including humans. When mitospores are inhaled, they enlarge to make spherules, which divide internally to make endospores. <P> fungus. any member of the kingdom fungi, a group of eukaryotic organisms that includes mushrooms, yeasts, and molds, which lack chlorophyll, have a rigid cell wall in some stage of the life cycle, and reproduce by means of spores. Fungi are present in the soil, air, and water, but only a few species can cause disease. Fungi are important as foods and to the fermentation process in the development of substances of industrial and medical importance, including alcohol, the antibiotics, other drugs, and antitoxins. Relatively few fungi are pathogenic for humans, whereas most plant diseases are caused by fungi. [L. fungus, a mushroom]. <P> Histoplasma capsulatum. Histoplasma capsulatum is a good example of a thermally dimorphic fungus. This fungus grows in its yeast form at 37°C, but switches to mold form at 20-25°C. H. capsulatum is found throughout the world in substrates rich in nitrates such as bird droppings, chicken manure and bat guano. Examples of Dimorphic Fungi in Indoor Environments. Examples of dimorphic fungi in indoor environments are Aureobasidium pullulans, Histoplasma capsulatum and Sporothrix spp. <P> Generally, infection of the host with dimorphic fungi typically occurs following disruption of the mycelial cells residing in soil and subsequent inhalation of airborne microconidia, which transform into a parasitic yeast form in the pulmonary alveolar epithelium. In the soil, both Coccidioides species produce hyphae and mitospores, and both are specifically adapted to live in mammals, including humans. When mitospores are inhaled, they enlarge to make spherules, which divide internally to make endospores. <P> D imorphic fungi are those fungi that exist either in yeast form or as mold (mycelial form) depending on environmental conditions, physiological conditions of the fungus or the genetic characteristics. As yeasts, dimorphic fungi exist as single cells and multiply by old cells producing daughter cells. Examples of Dimorphic Fungi in Indoor Environments. Examples of dimorphic fungi in indoor environments are Aureobasidium pullulans, Histoplasma capsulatum and Sporothrix spp.

how long does it take to trickle charge a battery
|
<P> A fully discharged automotive battery may take up to 20 hours for full charging. The length of time is dependent upon the RC rating (reserve capacity). A battery with an RC of 60 and 2 amps could take 20 hours to charge, while a battery with an RC rating of 60 with 30 amps may take only one hour to fully charge. <P> There is a two amp trickle charge rate for six volt batteries, and a four amp trickle charge rate for twelve volt batteries. It has a reverse hookup connection, with fifty amp clamps for top and side post batteries. There is a twelve amp plug in for charging car batteries, also. There are differing opinions of how long a trickle charger can be left on a battery and for that reason, different types have been manufactured. Some trickle chargers can be left on a battery indefinitely. These would be used on a vehicle that is not used all the time or is stored away for the winter or the summer. <P> The one amp trickle charger is used for charging your motorcycle battery, your golf cart and other small things of the like.

Next. <P> Yes it probably will be safe to leave a 2 amp trickle charge on your battery overnight without hurting the battery. RV's stay plugged in for months with a 1 1/2 amp trickle charge running. I am assuming the battery has water in it. However this is what you need to do first. <P> If you are asking how long it will take the charger to charge up the battery, then that would all depend on how dead the battery was when you started, how many cranking amps the battery is rated for, and if you are wanting to charge it up to the maximum, or just enough to get the bike started. my bike has been sitting for 3 wks and i want to use a trickle charger. it has charging rate of 0.2A (0.3 RMS). how long should i charge it for. thanks. <P> Originally Posted by DeeGee.

Use a trickle charger that matches your battery's voltage output. Most cars use 12-volt batteries, but check the battery label or your vehicle's owner's manual to be sure. Attach the charger's clamps directly to the battery terminals if the charger has alligator-style clips.

where are myocardial cells located
|
<P> There are two types of cells within the heart: the cardiomyocytes and the cardiac pacemaker cells. Cardiomyocytes make up the atria (the chambers in which blood enters the heart) and the ventricles (the chambers where blood is collected and pumped out of the heart). Cardiac muscle cells or cardiomyocytes (also known as myocardiocytes or cardiac myocytes) are the muscle cells (myocytes) that make up the cardiac muscle. Each myocardial cell contains myofibrils, which are specialized organelles consisting of long chains of sarcomeres, the fundamental contractile units of muscle cells. Cardiomyocytes show striations similar to those on skeletal muscle cells, but unlike multinucleated skeletal cells, they contain only one nucleus <P> There are two pacemakers in the heart. One (which is the main pacemaker of the heart) can be found in the upper right-most part of the right atrium and the other one can be found in the center most part of the heart, inside the atrio-ventricular wall. <P> Merge this question into. Split and merge into it. Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Myocardial cells are specialized smooth muscle cells found in the myocardium, the muscular tissue of the heart. They possess features and properties similar to those of skeletal muscle cells. <P> An isolated cardiac muscle cell, beating. Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is involuntary striated muscle that is found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. These three types of muscle all form in the process of myogenesis. The cells that constitute cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, contain only three nuclei. The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart, and forms a thick middle layer between the outer epicardium layer and the inner endocardium layer <P> All these cell types contribute to structural, biochemical, mechanical and electrical properties of the functional heart. Atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes form the muscular walls of the heart (that is, the myocardium). More than 50% of the cells of the heart are cardiac fibroblasts. Endothelial cells form the endocardium, the interior lining of blood vessels and cardiac valves. Smooth muscle cells contribute to the coronary arteries and inflow and outflow vasculature. <P> Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex mechanism illustrates systole of the heart. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. These three types of muscle all form in the process of myogenesis. The cells that constitute cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, contain only three nuclei. <P> The right side of the heart is the pulmonary circuit pump. Pumps blood through the lungs, where CO 2 is unloaded and O 2 is picked up. The left side of the heart is the systemic circuit pump. Pumps blood to the tissues, delivering O 2 and nutrients and picking up CO 2 and wastes.

what does arsenic weigh
|
<P> Arsenic, symbol As, is a rather rare element that by chance has become well known. It is notorious as a poison, but there is more to it than that. Its abundance in the crust of the earth is estimated as 5 x 10 -4 %, not much more than that of a rare earth metal, and only four times more than that of platinum. Arsenic by itself likes to form the tetrahedral molecule As 4, in which each As is bound to the other three covalently (by sharing electrons). Phosphorus does exactly the same thing. As 4 is a yellowish gas that condenses to a yellow, waxy solid with density about 2.0 g/cc. The gas has a characteristic garlic-like odor. <P> The molecular formula for Arsenic is As. The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. 1 mole is equal to 1 moles Arsenic, or 74.9216 grams. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between moles Arsenic and gram. The formula weight is simply the weight in atomic mass units of all the atoms in a given formula. Using the chemical formula of the compound and the periodic table of elements, we can add up the atomic weights and calculate molecular weight of the substance. <P> All arsenic comes as a by-product, and ores are not mined specifically for arsenic. Arsenic is worth studying because of its curious uses, and as an example of an element that stands with one foot in the metals camp, and one foot in the nonmetals camp. Arsenic by itself likes to form the tetrahedral molecule As 4, in which each As is bound to the other three covalently (by sharing electrons). Phosphorus does exactly the same thing. As 4 is a yellowish gas that condenses to a yellow, waxy solid with density about 2.0 g/cc. The gas has a characteristic garlic-like odor. <P> FDA’s testing of the initial samples found these average levels of inorganic arsenic in micrograms (one millionth of a gram): 1 Rice (other than Basmati rice): 6.7 per 1 cup (cooked). 2 Rice cakes: 5.4 per 2 cakes. 3 Rice beverages: 3.8 per 240 ml (some samples not tested for inorganic arsenic). 4 Rice cereals: 3.5 per 1 cup. Arsenic is a chemical element distributed in the Earth’s crust. It is released from volcanoes and from the erosion of mineral deposits. It is found throughout the environment—in water, air and soil. <P> Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals, usually in conjunction with sulfur and metals, and also as a pure elemental crystal. Arsenic is a metalloid. It can exist in various allotropes, although only the gray form has important use in industry. Gray arsenic (α-As, space group R 3 m No. 166) adopts a double-layered structure consisting of many interlocked, ruffled, six-membered rings. Because of weak bonding between the layers, gray arsenic is brittle and has a relatively low Mohs hardness of 3.5. <P> Properties of Arsenic. Arsenic has atomic number 33, so it has 33 electrons in the configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 2 3d 10 4s 2 4p 3. The same outer shell s 2 p 3 is shared by N, P, Sb and Bi, the two lighter elements above it in the periodic table, and the two heavier elements below. Arsenic by itself likes to form the tetrahedral molecule As 4, in which each As is bound to the other three covalently (by sharing electrons). Phosphorus does exactly the same thing. As 4 is a yellowish gas that condenses to a yellow, waxy solid with density about 2.0 g/cc. The gas has a characteristic garlic-like odor. <P> 817 o C, 1090 K. Note: At normal atmospheric pressure arsenic does not melt when heated, it sublimes. i.e. when heated, arsenic undergoes a phase change directly from solid to gas. The melting point quoted above is for gray arsenic under a pressure of 28 atmospheres. Arsenic occurs in three distinct solid forms. Gray arsenic is the most common. It has a metallic sheen and conducts electricity. Yellow arsenic is metastable, is a poor electrical conductor and does not have a metallic sheen. It is prepared by cooling gray arsenic vapor in liquid air. <P> All wines in the U.S. are safe to consume. Arsenic occurs naturally in air, soil, water and food. As an agricultural product, wines from around the world contain trace amounts of arsenic as do fruits, vegetables, grains, water, juice and other beverages. This is nothing new <P> The three most common arsenic allotropes are metallic gray, yellow, and black arsenic, with gray being the most common. Gray arsenic (α-As, space group R 3 m No. 166) adopts a double-layered structure consisting of many interlocked, ruffled, six-membered rings. Because of weak bonding between the layers, gray arsenic is brittle and has a relatively low Mohs hardness of 3.5.

what is asterisms
|
<P> Give two favorite examples. An asterism is a star-pattern that is not a constellation. Asterisms may be contained within a single constellation or consist of stars belonging to different constellations. The Big and Little Dippers are asterisms within the constellations of Ursus Major and Ursus Minor. <P> In astronomy, an asterism is a pattern of stars recognized in the Earth's night sky. It may be part of an official constellation or it may be composed of stars from more than one constellation. Colloquial usage does not draw a sharp distinction between constellation in the sense of an asterism (pattern of stars) and constellation in the sense of an area of the sky surrounding an asterism. <P> Constellations and Asterisms. Constellations are patterns of stars visible to the unaided eye, or regions of space seen from Earth that are bounded by borders designated by the International Astronomical Union. Asterisms are also naked-eye star patterns, but they do not form constellations on their own. An example is the Big Dipper, which is part of Ursa Major. Americans know northern hemisphere constellations by the names given them by ancient Babylonians and Greeks. Seafaring explorers named those in the southern hemisphere <P> An asterism is also a group of stars that don't correspond to the recognized constellations. Some, like the Big Dipper, are a subset of the stars in a larger constellation (in the case of the Big Dipper, the constellation is Ursa Major). Others are made up of stars from multiple constellations. It's a group of stars within the Ursa Major constellation. Another asterism is the Pleiades, which is a small cluster of stars found in Taurus. Edit: And to be precise, a constellation actually refers to an area of the sky and not the pattern of stars. <P> This picture of Brocchi's Cluster (the Coathanger), an asterism in the constellation Vulpecula, was taken through binoculars. In astronomy, an asterism is a pattern of stars recognized in the Earth's night sky. It may be part of an official constellation or it may be composed of stars from more than one constellation. Colloquial usage does not draw a sharp distinction between constellation in the sense of an asterism (pattern of stars) and constellation in the sense of an area of the sky surrounding an asterism. <P> 615 pages on this wiki. In astronomy, an asterism is a pattern of stars seen in Earth's sky which is not an official constellation. Like constellations, they are composed of stars which, while they are in the same general direction, are not physically related, often being at significantly different distances from Earth. <P> An asterism is a recognizable pattern of stars. In the general sense, a constellation is the same thing. In a more technical sense, Constellation refers to an officially paritioned section of the sky within which are stars that form a well-known asterism. Best Answer: An Asterism is simply an easily recognizable pattern of stars. The same pattern is often known by many different names to different peoples. A constellation is a defined area of the sky. Just like a state is divided into counties, every part of the sky is within a constellation. <P> An asterism is a Pattern of stars that are not part of the constellation. Their speed is different from the constellation. Their position drifts and will individually be varying in position in the sky. It's a group of stars within the Ursa Major constellation. Another asterism is the Pleiades, which is a small cluster of stars found in Taurus. Edit: And to be precise, a constellation actually refers to an area of the sky and not the pattern of stars. <P> The Big Dipper asterism. One of the best-known asterisms is the Big Dipper or Plough. It is composed of the seven brightest stars in Ursa Major, where they delineate the Bear's hindquarters and exaggerated tail, or alternatively, the handle forming the upper outline of the bear's head and neck. It may be part of an official constellation or it may be composed of stars from more than one constellation. Colloquial usage does not draw a sharp distinction between constellation in the sense of an asterism (pattern of stars) and constellation in the sense of an area of the sky surrounding an asterism. <P> Defining the Heavens. Constellation vs. Asterism-Constellations and asterisms are often regarded as identical. They are not. Up until modern times, constellation and asterism meant the same thing – a recognizable group of stars, given a name indicating an object seen in the stars’ pattern. All of that changed, in 1930, when the International Astronomical Union defined the current 88 constellations.

what is an aryan?
|
<P> The term Aryan originates from the Sanskrit word ārya, in origin an ethnic self-designation, in Classical Sanskrit meaning honourable, respectable, noble. In the 18th century, the most ancient known Indo-European languages were those of the ancient Indo-Iranians. In his Lectures on the Science of Language in 1861 he referred to Aryans as a race of people. At the time, the term race had the meaning of a group of tribes or peoples, an ethnic group. <P> The English word Aryan is borrowed from the Sanskrit word ārya, आर्य, meaning noble or noble one. (However, as a translation of Latin Arianus, 'Aryan' has long been in English language use. While the original meaning of Indo-Iranian *arya as a self-designator is uncontested, the origin of the word (and thus also its original meaning) remains uncertain. Indo-Iranian ar-is a syllable ambiguous in origin, from Indo-European ar- , er- , or or- . <P> There is no such thing as the Aryan Race; this was a term invented by Hitler in pseudoscientific racial classification of the world. The historic Aryans were a tribe of Indo-Europeans who live in the Caucasus Mountains in roughly 1500 B.C.E. This group of people conquered Persia and the Indus River Valley. Hitler's Aryan Race was a non-existent fictional group of people who track most closely with the Nordic group of Indo-Europeans. In Hitler's mind, the Aryans were the people who founded the German Tribes and were the forefathers of all of German culture. <P> Aryan Brotherhood. The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as the Brand, or the AB, is a white supremacist prison gang and organized crime syndicate in the United States with about 10,000 members in and out of prison. <P> The term “ Aryan ” has had a history filled with controversy. The source of the English word Aryan comes from the Sanskrit word ārya, which is the self-designation used by the Vedic Indic people who migrated into the Indian subcontinent about 1500 BCE. The Sanskrit term has a cognate in the Iranian word arya, which is also a self-designation. Before the time of the Aryan migration into the Indian subcontinent, there was a highly developed civilization in ancient India known as the Indus Valley Civilization, which was located in what is Pakistan and northwest India today, on the fertile flood plain of the Indus River and its vicinity. <P> Report Abuse. The word Aryan comes from India. It is from the Indian language of Sanskrit, Arya , which means noble ones. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, they were a people who in prehistoric times settled in what are now Iran and northern India. <P> Today the use of Aryan as a synonym for Indo-European or to a lesser extent for Indo-Iranian both in academia and in popular culture is obsolete, ideologically suspect, and politically incorrect. In his Lectures on the Science of Language in 1861 he referred to Aryans as a race of people. At the time, the term race had the meaning of a group of tribes or peoples, an ethnic group. <P> noun. Aryan means something relating to the group of people who lived during the time of or descended from the early Indo-European languages. Resham is an Aryan movie star. The definition of an Aryan is a person, described by the Nazis as a member of the master race, who was non-Jewish and had Nordic features. 1 Using the technical meanings of the term ‘Aryan’ (Indo-Iranian, Indo-European, Proto-Indo-European, or a subdivision of the Caucasian race) could be misleading and dangerous, as the Nazi and neo-Nazi ideological usages, with their connotations, are the only widely understood meanings of the term in modern English. <P> For other uses of Arya and Aryan, see Aryan (disambiguation) . Aryan (/ˈɛəriən, ˈɛərjən, ˈaer-/) ˈær is a loanword derived from The sanskrit ('ārya'). Noble the term ārya was used as an ethnic-self designation by The-Indo iranian speaking tribes in the ancient. times While the original meaning of Indo-Iranian *arya as a self-designator is uncontested, the origin of the word (and thus also its original meaning) remains uncertain. Indo-Iranian ar-is a syllable ambiguous in origin, from Indo-European ar- , er- , or or- . <P> Hitler argued that the German (he wrongly described them as the Aryan race) was superior to all others. Hitler was obsessed with 'racial purity'. He used the word 'Aryan' to describe his idea of a 'pure German race' or Herrenvolk. The 'Aryan race' had a duty to control the world. The Nazis linked he word 'Aryan' with the German word 'Ehre', which means 'honour' and said Aryan meant 'the honourable people'. This vivid poster from the September 1930 Reichstag election summarizes Nazi ideology in a single image. A Nazi sword kills a snake, the blade passing through a red Star of David.

The term “ Aryan ” has had a history filled with controversy. The source of the English word Aryan comes from the Sanskrit word ārya, which is the self-designation used by the Vedic Indic people who migrated into the Indian subcontinent about 1500 BCE.

what is bulletproof coffee?
|
<P> In 2014 Bulletproof Coffee was featured on shows such as Good Morning America, Today and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and had a following of over three million consumers. By 2015, Bulletproof was operating with 20 employees and had over six million unique visitors to its website. The Bulletproof Coffee recipe was first developed by David Asprey after traveling to Tibet and tasting yak-butter tea drinks. He returned to the United States and experimented with buttered drink recipes and published the preparation for his buttered coffee drink on his blog in 2009 <P> I htink the general rule of thumb is 5-7 grams of coffee per cup. I use around 15 grams for a sixteen ounce brew. The official recipe on the “How to make your mornings Bulletproof, and your coffee too” says 2 1/2 tbsp for an 8 oz cup of coffee. 15 g seems VERY diluted (that’s 1 tbsp). Bodum’s french press requirements are ~1.5-2.5 tbsp / 8oz cup. I can assure you that one tbsp of whole bean coffee does not weigh 15 grams <P> Dave Asprey, the creator of the small company Bulletproof Coffee that popularized the concoction of coffee, butter and MCT oil, claims the high-fat diet can lead to weight loss. Other supporters say it gives you an extra energy boost, helps you avoid the afternoon crash and keeps you mentally focused. <P> I start the day with a cup of Bulletproof® Coffee: a blended drink made of Upgraded Coffee blended together with grass-fed unsalted butter and Brain Octane Oil (see recipe below). I first learned about the power of butter at 18,000 above sea level, near Mt. Kailash in Tibet. So, I use the lowest toxin, highest performance coffee there is (I know, because I created it and tested it!) I brew it, and then I blend unsalted, grass-fed butter into it, along with an extract of coconut oil that improves brain energy. Yes, butter. <P> 1 Brew 1 cup (8-12 oz.) of coffee using filtered water, just off the boil, with 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground Bulletproof® Coffee Beans. ( 2 French Press is easiest.). 3 Add in 1-2 tablespoons of Brain Octane™ to the hot coffee (It’s STRONG – start with 1 tsp. and work up over several days). So, I use the lowest toxin, highest performance coffee there is (I know, because I created it and tested it!) I brew it, and then I blend unsalted, grass-fed butter into it, along with an extract of coconut oil that improves brain energy. Yes, butter. <P> Bulletproof Coffee is a branded coffee drink consisting of Upgraded black coffee blended with grass-fed butter and Brain Octane oil (an 8-carbon fraction of medium-chain triglyceride oil). The recipe was created by Dave Asprey and first posted to his blog in 2009. The Bulletproof Coffee recipe was first developed by David Asprey after traveling to Tibet and tasting yak-butter tea drinks. He returned to the United States and experimented with buttered drink recipes and published the preparation for his buttered coffee drink on <P> Bulletproof® Coffee is a term coined by Dave Asprey, and it’s the name of his brand of coffee. His brand, in particular, is not dried in the sun, preventing it from accumulating mycotoxins. (You can google mycotoxins to understand better why they’re a problem, but the research is very good and long-standing.). <P> How to Make Bulletproof Coffee. 1 Place 2 to 6 tablespoons of grass fed butter in large cup or mug. 2 Pour 1 to 3 tablespoons of 100% pure MCT oil over the butter. 3 Brew 16 ounces of coffee (I use a Chemex) and pour into the mug. <P> Known as Bulletproof coffee, this incarnation of the Western world's favourite drug combines grass-fed, unsalted butter with a freshly brewed cuppa, along with coconut oil and a flavouring like cinnamon or vanilla. As shown in the video above, it's easy to make as long as you have the ingredients and a blender.

Within hours, the pain travels to your lower right-hand side, where the appendix is usually located, and becomes constant and severe. Pressing on this area, coughing or walking, may all make the pain worse. <P> Your appendix is on the right side of your abdomen. the pain usually is on the right side below your naval. If you are suffering an appendicitis you will also have nausea and fever and your white blood cell count will be high. If you think you are having an attack of appendicitis, see your doctor as soon as you can. <P> View full size image. Appendicitis is swelling (or inflammation) of the appendix, a narrow, tube-shaped organ attached to the large intestine on the lower right side of the abdomen. The condition may cause the appendix to rupture, a complication that can be life-threatening. <P> Signs and symptoms of appendicitis may include: 1 Sudden pain that begins on the right side of the lower abdomen. 2 Sudden pain that begins around your navel and often shifts to your lower right abdomen. 3 Pain that worsens if you cough, walk or make other jarring movements. 4 Nausea and vomiting. 5 Loss of appetite. <P> Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen.

what kinds of animals that are mostly affected by animals
|
<P> Tularemia is a bacterial disease that can affect animals and is found in wild animals in North America. Wild animals most often affected include rodents, rabbits, muskrats and beavers. Tularemia can be spread from animals to humans, although this is not known to occur commonly. There are two types of tularemia: Type A and Type B. <P> Rabies is a disease that naturally affects only mammals. Mammals are warm-blooded animals with fur. People are mammals, and so are most of our pets like cats and dogs. Lots of farm animals like cows and horses are mammals, and so are wild animals like foxes and skunks, raccoons and bats. Birds, snakes, and fish are not mammals, so they can´t get rabies and they can´t give it to you. In the United States today, about 93 of every 100 reported cases of rabies are in wild animals. <P> Various species of animals are poached around the world. Their remains are used in various ways, often for luxury or medicinal purposes. Elephants: Poached for their ivory tusks which have great aesthetic value. They are intimidating into traps or pitfalls and the tusks are painfully detached. Red and Pink Coral: This is the most valuable type of coral, known for its use in jewelry and decorations. Not only does the poaching of coral effect coral population but it also effects the population of coral reefs and fish. European Eel: They are poached because of their valuable meat and large international demand. <P> D. Other mammals commonly found in research are guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, and farm animals such as pigs and sheep. Most of these animals are specifically bred and raised for research. Researchers choose the species that best parallels the biology of what they want to study. For example, sheep provide a model to study osteoarthritis, a breakdown of cartilage that occurs as people age, causing pain and inflammation in the joints. Species such as dogs, cats, and non-human primates account for less than 1% of all mammals in research. Although not used widely, these animals have characteristics that make them vitally important for the study of heart disease, neurological disorders, and diseases such as HIV/AIDS. <P> An oiled seabird was found dead on the beach following the Kuroshima oil spill near Dutch Harbor, Alaska, in November 1997. (NOAA). In general, oil spills can affect animals and plants in two ways: from the oil itself and from the response or cleanup operations. Understanding both types of impacts can help spill responders minimize overall impacts to ecological communities and help them to recover much more quickly. <P> 1 of 10. (Olivier Morin/AFP/Getty Images). Caribou and reindeer are classified by scientists as the same species, with the domesticated reindeer dispersed across parts of Europe and Asia and the wild caribou found in North America and Greenland. <P> Escherichia coli is a type of bacteria that is normally found in the intestinal tracts of healthy farm animals. Most types of E. coli are harmless, but some can cause serious disease in people. E. coli is a common food-borne bacterium, but it can also be transmitted to people by farm animals and their environment. <P> Rats and mice are the animals most often used in acute toxicity testing. It is difficult to extrapolate information on human responses to chemicals based on these animal test methods because different species of animals have wide variations in their responses to chemicals. The animals are then killed and examined for the accumulation of the test chemicals in their organs. The differences between species and the amount and type of liver enzymes they possess makes it difficult to properly extrapolate human test data from these animal tests.

what is slate used for
|
<P> Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is created by the alteration of shale or mudstone by low-grade regional metamorphism. The specimen shown above is about two inches (five centimeters) across. <P> Slate is used in buildings, roofs for example, Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs etc, and because it is a good electrical insulator and fireproof, it was used to construct early 20th century electric switchboards and relay controls for large electric motors. <P> Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade regional metamorphism. It is the finest grained foliated metamorphic rock. <P> In the coal mining industry of the Appalachian Basin, the word slate is still used by many miners to in reference to the shale that forms the roof and floor of a mine and for fragments of shale that are separated from the coal in preparation plants. <P> Slate can also contain abundant quartz and small amounts of feldspar, calcite, pyrite, hematite and other minerals. Most slates are gray in color and range in a continuum of shades from light to dark gray. Slate also occurs in shades of green, red, black, purple and brown. <P> The color of slate is largely determined by the amount of iron it contains, but it is normally a shade of gray. Slate normally forms in basins between convergent plate boundaries. Often, slate is used to describe shale but the two are different in that shale is actually converted into slate. Slate is used for different varieties of flooring and roofing. School children used pieces of slate as a writing board to practice their math and writing during the 1800s. Slate can easily be broken into neat, thin sheet because of its foliation. <P> Slate is a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that is created by the alteration of shale or mudstone by low-grade regional metamorphism. It is popular for a wide variety of uses such as roofing, flooring and flagging because of its durability and attractive appearance.

what pathway do a physical therapist assistant need to take to become one
|
<P> Bridge Program. For the PTA that is interested in pursuing a physical therapist professional education, there is only one bridge educational program that formally incorporates the PTA's knowledge, skills, and experience into the curriculum-the University of Findlay in Ohio. The profession needs and values both physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs). Both roles are important in assuring access to physical therapy services and in providing physical therapy interventions that allow clinicians to work at the top of their license.. <P> In order to become a physical therapist assistant you will need to obtain at least a two-year associate’s degree, which allows you to work under the direction and supervision of a PT. According to the APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) the median income for a PTA is $70,000 depending on position, years of experience, degree of education, geographic location, and practice setting. <P> What is the average salary for a Physical Therapist Assistant? According to the APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) the median income for a PTA is $70,000 depending on position, years of experience, degree of education, geographic location, and practice setting. <P> Physical Therapist (PT) Education Overview. Physical therapist (PT) professional education refers to the didactic and clinical education that prepares graduates for entry into practice of physical therapy. Education for the advancement of practicing physical therapists is termed post-professional. <P> Physical therapist aides work under the direct supervision of a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant. They usually are responsible for keeping the treatment area clean and organized, and preparing for each patient's therapy. They also help patients who need assistance moving to or from a treatment area. Most states require physical therapist assistants to have an associate’s degree from an accredited physical therapist assistant program. Physical therapist aides generally have a high school diploma and receive on-the-job training. <P> Career Considerations: PTA to PT. The profession needs and values both physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs). Both roles are important in assuring access to physical therapy services and in providing physical therapy interventions that allow clinicians to work at the top of their license.. <P> In order to work as a physical therapist, you must complete a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree program. As of 2014, there were 228 physical therapy programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), most of which last three years. Many physical therapists also receive extensive training in patient psychology to better understand and help clients cope with the emotional challenges associated with a physical ailment. As with most careers, the path to success can take many different forms. <P> Bachelor's Degree. The first step for a PTA to become a PT is to complete a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy. Some associate degree programs have affiliations with baccalaureate programs, and if the PTA is a relatively recent graduate, she may be able to transfer directly into the bachelor’s program. <P> As a physical therapist assistant, you’ll work under the supervision of a physical therapist (PT) to help patients whose ability to move is impaired, from injured athletes to disabled children. You’ll provide the kind of practical, hands-on help that can be truly life-changing. Physical therapist assistants work with physical therapists to help patients with exercises and other therapeutic treatments, such as bathing, applying hot and cold packs, and massaging. Working as a physical therapist assistant is not a stepping-stone on the way to becoming a physical therapist. To become a PT, you’ll need at least a master’s degree

In 1869, he extracted a substance from white blood cells that he called nuclein. <P> Erwin Chargaff. An Austrian biochemist and author, Erwin Chargaff is best known for “Chargaff’s Rules” which lead to the discovery of DNA’s double helix structure. He was born in Bukowina, Austria-Hungary, but today, his birthplace is referred to as Chernivtsi, Ukraine. On August 11, 1905, Erwin Chargaff was born in Czernowitz, in a place which used to be called Bukowina, Austria-Hungary to his father named Hermann Chargaff who worked as a banker, and Rosa Silberste <P> If Erwin Chargaff had used E. coli as a source of DNA, he would have proven. Levene's tetranucleotide theory. E. coli has almost equal amounts of all four nucleotides. <P> It said that DNA was made up of four bases (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine) that were present in regular amounts, but that their organisation was too simple to carry hereditary information. It was Chargaff's work that overturned this. Erwin Chargaff. Erwin Chargaff was working at Columbia University in New York in the 1940s when he read Oswald Avery's research about DNA being the hereditary material. From that moment in 1944 he devoted his research to working out the chemical composition of DNA. <P> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Chargaff's rules states that DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine. This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA. The second of Chargaff's rules (or Chargaff's second parity rule) is that the composition of DNA varies from one species to another; in particular in the relative amounts of A, G, T, and C bases. <P> Chargaff's ratios, 3D animation with narration. Description: Transcript: The DNA molecule is made up of very long chains of the 4 bases: A, C, G and T. In 1950, Erwin Chargaff published a paper stating that in DNA of any given species, the ratio of adenine to thymine is equal, as is the ratio of cytosine to guanine. This is known as Chargaff's ratios and it was a crucial clue that helped solve the structure of DNA. Chargaff's ratios are universal: all forms of life obey this rule. Only the balance of A-T pairs and C-G pairs varies between species. <P> Erwin Chargaff found that in DNA, the ratios of adenine (A) to thymine (T) and guanine (G) to cytosine (C) are equal. This parity is obvious in the final DNA structure. SOURCE: DNALC.DNAi. 16354. <P> His research, with the help from ________________, led to the discovery of the DNA molecule structure.

what age do menopause stop
|
<P> Most women go through menopause between their 40s and 50s. Hormonal changes during this transition can produce uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes. Most symptoms tend to last one to ten years, and then stop after a woman has reached menopause. <P> It sounds as though you may be confusing menopause and menopausal symptoms. Menopause is the cessation of menstrual periods, when you no longer ovulate and the ovaries stop producing estrogen. It is a forever thing. Once your periods stop, you shouldn't have any more. <P> Menopause is the time in a woman's life when her periods (menstruation) stop. It is a natural, normal body change that most often occurs between ages 45 - 55. After menopause, a woman can no longer become pregnant. <P> Menopause is a confusing time that affects every aspect of a woman's life. The hormone estrogen, which many of your body's functions is dependent upon, is no longer produced in the amount that it once was, resulting in physical and emotional changes. <P> Menopause is the point in time when a woman's menstrual periods stop. Menopause happens because the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Once you have gone through menopause, you can't get pregnant anymore. <P> During the time of the menopausal transition (perimenopause), your periods can stop for a while and then start again. Therefore, the only way to know if you have gone through menopause is if you have not had your period for one year. <P> The average age for menopause in the United States is 51, according to the National Institute on Aging. Generally, most women experience onset between the ages of 40 and 60. Early menopause usually refers to cases where onset occurs before the age of 40. <P> The average age of a woman having her last period, menopause, is 51. But, some women have their last period in their forties, and some have it later in their fifties. Smoking can lead to early menopause. So can some types of operations. <P> A. Menopause is the end of a woman's menstrual cycle and fertility. It happens when the ovaries no longer make estrogen and progesterone, two hormones needed for a woman's fertility, and periods have stopped for 1 year. Menopause happens naturally with age.

which type of vessels contain most of the body
|
<P> Capillaries. Capillaries, the smallest and most numerous of the blood vessels, form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart (arteries) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins). The primary function of capillaries is the exchange of materials between the blood and tissue cells. Systemic arteries transport oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body tissues. Blood is pumped from the ventricles into large elastic arteries that branch repeatedly into smaller and smaller arteries until the branching results in microscopic arteries called arterioles. <P> 1 Capillaries: Capillaries are the smallest and thinnest of the blood vessels in the body and also the most common. 2 They can be found running throughout almost every tissue of the body and border the edges of the body’s avascular tissues. 3 Capillaries connect to arterioles on one end and venules on the other. The heart is a pumping system which takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries (which provide oxygen and nutrients to body tissues by transporting the blood throughout the body). <P> The average adult body contains between 9 and 12 pints of blood. Blood contains oxygen and nutrients the body needs to survive. The arteries, veins and capillaries are types of blood vessels that transport the vital blood throughout the body. Learn the differences between the types of blood vessels. Veins. 1 Veins carry blood from throughout the body back to the heart. 2 The blood in the veins is dark red in color because it contains very little oxygen. 3 The walls of veins are not as strong as the walls of the arteries because they farther away from the heart, meaning they are subject to less pressure from <P> Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries transport blood that has a low oxygen content from the right ventricle to the lungs. Systemic arteries transport oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body tissues. Blood is pumped from the ventricles into large elastic arteries that branch repeatedly into smaller and smaller arteries until the branching results in microscopic arteries called arterioles. <P> There are three major types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart; the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart. 1 Tunica adventitia : (the thickest layer in veins) entirely made of connective tissue. 2 It also contains nerves that supply the vessel as well as nutrient capillaries (vasa vasorum) in the larger blood vessels. <P> The Circulatory System. Veins, arteries and capillaries are the three types of blood vessels in the circulatory system. The blood vessels carry blood, which contains antibodies, nutrients, oxygen, electrolytes and hormones, throughout the body to be used by the organs. Veins. 1 Veins carry blood from throughout the body back to the heart. 2 The blood in the veins is dark red in color because it contains very little oxygen. 3 The walls of veins are not as strong as the walls of the arteries because they farther away from the heart, meaning they are subject to less pressure from <P> There is a layer of muscle surrounding the arteries and the veins which help contract and expand the vessels. This creates enough pressure for blood to be pumped around the body. Blood vessels are part of the circulatory system, together with the heart and the blood. 1 Tunica adventitia : (the thickest layer in veins) entirely made of connective tissue. 2 It also contains nerves that supply the vessel as well as nutrient capillaries (vasa vasorum) in the larger blood vessels. <P> The cardiovascular, or circulatory, system in humans is composed of the heart and the blood. vessels--arteries, veins, and capillaries. Its purpose is to provide nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and to remove wastes from them. <P> Answer: Veins contain valves to prevent blood from flowing backward. This is necessary because the venous vessels are a low-pressure system and the blood must sometimes flow against gravity, particularly in the limbs. <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The blood space vessels are part of the circulatory system and function to transport blood throughout the body. The most important types, arteries and veins, carry blood away from or towards the heart, respectively. The smooth blood vessels would be the veins, which can be found all over the body leading to the heart. These vessels do contain valves. Their primary function is to transport blood back to the heart. ******Update: I think I made a mistake. The elastic vessels are nearest you heart.

<P> The League of Nations also took control of Germany's overseas colonies. Germany had to return to Russia land taken in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Some of this land was made into new states: Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. An enlarged Poland also received some of this land. The Treaty of the Versailles affect Germany by taking away German land in Europe, its colonies in Africa and the Pacific. It also limits the size of Germany's armed forces. It … also placed all the blame for the war on them. <P> The Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that made peace between the countries involved in World War 1. These...

Play media. The Signing of the Peace Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty between the five nations, France, Germany, Britain, Austria-Hungary and the United States after World War I. The treaty was made in 1919, but the German government did not participate in it. <P> The main reasons why the Germans hated the Treaty of Versailles was because they thought it was unfair. Germany had not taken part in the Conference. The terms were imposed upon Germany when Germany disagreed, the Allies threatened to go to war again. <P> It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I were dealt with in separate treaties. The defeated nations of Germany, Austria, and Hungary were excluded from the negotiations. Russia was also excluded because it had negotiated a separate peace (the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk) with Germany in 1918. The terms of this treaty awarded Germany a large proportion of Russia's land and resources. <P> This is something that's been seized on by some revisionists that try to portray the Japanese empire to be something it wasn't. Japan were not so much unhappy with the outcome of the treaty of Versailles as with how the treaty negotiations took place. They felt probably correctly that they had been sidelined by the four major powers. <P> Confidence votes 18. only Germany was unsatisfied with the outcome of the treaty since they had to pay huge soms of money to the allies. Italy and Japan were part of the allies in ww1 so they only had benefits from the treaty (don't know if japan signed it). the reason why they were allies in ww2 was that Italy wanted to expand and conquer parts of Africa. and japan because the USA was cutting of their oil import which damaged their industry. <P> In 1919 the Allies had assembled the Treaty of Versailles. Germany were not invited to the meetings that were held to discuss the terms of the treaty. The treaty was presented to Germany and they had no other choice but to sign it as they Allies threatened them with war.

what kind of jobs cannot be outsourced
|
<P> Many white-collar jobs have shifted outside the U.S. in the past several years, prompting fears that a broad swath of professional jobs can be outsourced to lower-cost countries. But that is not the case. <P> It makes sense for workers to gravitate towards those jobs that cannot be outsourced, and what follows is a list of some of the principal jobs that cannot be outsourced or relocated offshore. <P> If you are thinking about jobs that won't be outsourced, you may want to consider what people are going to be outsourcing over the new few years and get a job on the outsourcing side of things, I.E. cloud services, SAAS, consulting etc. Also, as food for thought, there is no IT job that is exempt from being outsourced. <P> However it's defined, outsourcing has an impact on American jobs and workers, though curiously a hard-to-define impact. Estimates of net jobs lost to outsourcing range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions, but even aggressive assumptions seem to suggest that it's less than 2% of the U.S. workforce. <P> These are 9 jobs that won't be outsourced anytime soon. With jobs in just about every industry being shipped overseas for cheaper labor, it is interesting to see what jobs will likely stick around. I found this article (No outsourcing here: Jobs that are staying put) on Yahoo. <P> Estimates of net jobs lost to outsourcing range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions, but even aggressive assumptions seem to suggest that it's less than 2% of the U.S. workforce. <P> People who work in knowledge-based fields like information technology, accounting, graphic design or legal research are probably well aware that their jobs are susceptible to being outsourced to a low wage country. <P> Outsourcing customer service and support jobs to countries like India has become so common that it's become an advertising campaign topic for companies that want to stand out for their better (and presumably not outsourced) services. <P> Repair Technician Anybody who has had to deal with a broken appliance by boxing it up and shipping it out and then waiting for weeks to get it back, will appreciate that many types of repair and maintenance jobs cannot be outsourced.

<P> If for some reason the temperature has dropped below the correct temperature on a few occasions, you could find some of your eggs only hatching on day 22, 23, or even on day 24 or 25. Whereas fertilized chicken eggs usually take exactly 21 days to hatch, most duck eggs take 28 days, apart from Muscovy ducks. As a general rule of thumb, the eggs of Muscovy ducks take 35 days, but once again, it can vary slightly depending on conditions. <P> The incubation period varies by species and generally takes about a month. When the ducklings begin to crack through their shells at the end of the incubation period, they should all hatch within 24 to 48 hours. Some eggs may fail to hatch. <P> Record the day and how many eggs you've incubated on a calendar. You should be able to estimate your hatch date based on average incubation times for the bird species you want to hatch. For example, chicken eggs typically take 21 days to hatch, whereas many duck varieties and peafowl may take 28 days. <P> If the eggs are fertile, it can take about 21 days on average for a Lovebird eggs to hatch. On average, a Lovebird can lay 5 to 6 eggs. They are laid one day after the other, usually, and hatch in the order they are laid. You can tell if an egg is fertile after about 10 days by a method known as egg candling. A video showing how to candle a lovebird egg. <P> First things first-eggs should hatch in 21 days, though some may hatch a day or 2 early and some a day or 2 late, after the incubation period began. <P> So, how long does it take for fertilized chicken eggs to hatch? The answer to that is 21 days exactly, although you need to bear in mind that this can vary, depending on a number of circumstances. <P> It takes about 18 days from the date incubation begins. Incubation usually begins with the second egg laid. Eggs are usually laid 1 every other day and, if fertile and developing normally, they hatch in the same order laid every other day.

what are nucleotide
|
<P> All nucleotides are composed of three parts: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogen-rich structure called a nitrogenous base. The sugar can be ribose, which is found in ribonucleotides and RNA, or deoxyribose, which is found in deoxyribonucleotides and DNA. The phosphate group is bonded to the 5 carbon of the sugar (see Figure 2), and when nucleotides are joined to form RNA or DNA, the phosphate of one nucleotide is joined to the sugar of the next nucleotide at its 3 carbon, to form the sugar-phosphate backbone of the nucleic acid. <P> This nucleotide contains the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose, a nitrogenous base called adenine, and one phosphate group. Together, the deoxyribose and adenine make up a nucleoside (specifically, a deoxyribonucleoside) called deoxyadenosine. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups. Nucleotides contain either a purine or a pyrimidine base. Ribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is ribose. Deoxyribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is deoxyribose. <P> A nucleotide is made of a nucleobase (also termed a nitrogenous base), a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2-deoxyribose) depending on if it is DNA or RNA, and one or, depending on the definition, more than one phosphate groups. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups. Nucleotides contain either a purine or a pyrimidine base. Ribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is ribose. Deoxyribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is deoxyribose. <P> Definition of NUCLEOTIDE. : any of several compounds that consist of a ribose or deoxyribose sugar joined to a purine or pyrimidine base and to a phosphate group and that are the basic structural units of nucleic acids (as RNA and DNA) — compare nucleoside. See nucleotide defined for kids. ADVERTISEMENT. : any of several compounds that consist of a ribose or deoxyribose sugar joined to a purine or pyrimidine base and to a phosphate group and that are the basic structural units of RNA and DNA— <P> Medical Definition of NUCLEOTIDE. : any of several compounds that consist of a ribose or deoxyribose sugar joined to a purine or pyrimidine base and to a phosphate group and that are the basic structural units of RNA and DNA—compare nucleoside. <P> Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups. Nucleotides contain either a purine or a pyrimidine base. Ribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is ribose. Deoxyribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is deoxyribose. <P> A nucleotide is one of the structural components, or building blocks, of DNA and RNA. A nucleotide consists of a base (one of four chemicals: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) plus a molecule of sugar and one of phosphoric acid. More: C, T, and U are called pyrimidines and each has a single nitrogen-containing ring. A and G are called purines and each has two nitrogen-containing rings. <P> Nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), are made from monomers known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA. If the sugar is ribose, the polymer is RNA. When sugar and a nitrogenous base get combined they form a nucleotide. Nucleotides are also known as phosphate nucleotides. <P> Nucleotides are the basic structural units of nucleic acids, which control the production of proteins in living organisms. The nucleotides are made up of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogen base. This shows the basic structure of a nucleotide. This example has the sugar ribose, and is characteristic of RNA. The nucleotide could contain the sugar deoxyribose, characteristic of DNA. For DNA, the bases may be adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine. For RNA the bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. <P> A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without the phosphate group. A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.

what is the amount of money for endorsement of a presidential candidate
|
<P> Answer: An individual can contribute $2,600 at most to a candidate for federal office in a single election cycle. That means you can give $5,200 to a single candidate in an election year: $2,600 during the primary campaign, and $2,600 more during the general election. <P> The contribution limits work a little differently for Presidential campaigns. In the case of a Presidential candidate running in various State primaries, you may contribute up to $2,700 for the entire primary campaign period--not $2,700 for each State primary in which the candidate runs. <P> You alone, therefore, may not endorse a $10,000 loan to a candidate committee. There must be four other individual endorsers so that each one is liable only for $2,700, the per election limit. Repayments made on a loan reduce the amount of your liability and thus reduce the amount of your contribution. <P> Post 1. The cost to run a Presidential campaign is only rising. In the 2008 race, some of the major candidates in the presidential primaries spent well over $75 million before Super Tuesday! You can only imagine what that will grow to for the two general election candidates by the time the whole thing is over. <P> Running a campaign to win a presidential primary can range in cost from $50 million US Dollars (USD) to over $100 million USD. By itself, this cost is already enormous, but there’s even more that must be spent to run for president. <P> (A husband and wife may each spend up to the limit. Their combined limits would be: $2,000 per candidate, per election, and $4,000 per year for a political party.) Any amount spent in excess of the limits is a contribution to the candidate or party committee. <P> The value of the discount--the difference between the normal charge and the amount paid by the committee--must, however, remain within certain limits. The limit for a discount to a candidate is $1,000 per election; the limit for a political party is $2,000 per year. <P> Below is a tally of the money raised and spent through September by the presidential candidates, the national party committees and the primary “super PACs” whose sole purpose is to support a candidate. <P> The cost to run for president in the general election can amount to at least $70 million USD, although the amount of money required can vary. It is possible that at some point in the future, all presidential candidates will run without taking any federal contributions. <P> The contribution limit for an individual is $2,500 per election, so the donor could give a total of $5,000 toward the primary and the general. She could give the remaining $2,500 to the candidate's Leadership PAC, which would be used to donate to other Congressional candidates in return for political clout.

why is gibbs model of reflection good
|
<P> A model commonly used in the health professions is Gibbs’ model of reflection (1988). An outline of this model is given here, with a breakdown of the types of questioning involved at each stage, to give an idea of the depth that effective reflection requires. We might choose to do something differently, or not, as a result of reflecting, but reflection is essentially a kind of loose processing of thoughts and feelings about an incident, a meeting, a day – any event or experience at all. <P> Using Gibb's model of reflection, reflect on a challenging experience from practice.

This model is a recognised framework for my reflection. Gibbs (1988) consists of six stages to complete one cycle which is able to improve my nursing practice continuously and learning from the experience for better practice in the future. In conclusion of my reflective assignment, I mention the model that I chose, Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle as my framework of my reflective. I state the reasons why I am choosing the model as well as some discussion on the important of doing reflection in nursing practice.

what does iodoform reaction test for
|
<P> This page looks at how the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction can be used to identify the presence of a CH 3 CO group in aldehydes and ketones. Note: This reaction can also be used in testing for the CH 3 CH(OH) group in alcohols. The chemistry of the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction. What the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction shows. A positive result-the pale yellow precipitate of triiodomethane (iodoform) - is given by an aldehyde or ketone containing the grouping: <P> Report Abuse. The iodoform test or iodoform reaction is a qualitative chemical test for the detection of ketones and aldehydes carrying an alpha methyl group. The reagents are iodine and sodium hydroxide. Only methyl ketones, or alcohols with the feature: CH3CH(OH)-R may undergo this reaction. -The iodoform test or reaction is a chemical reaction where iodoform (CHI3) is produced by the multiple halogenation of a methyl ketone (a molecule containing the R-CO-CH3 group) in the presence of a base. R may be H, alkyl or aryl. The reaction can be used to produce CHCl3, CHBr3 or CHI3 <P> Ethanal is the only aldehyde to give the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction. If Ris a hydrocarbon group, then you have a ketone. Lots of ketones give this reaction, but those that do all have a methyl group on one side of the carbon-oxygen double bond. These are known as methyl ketones. The chemistry of the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction. What the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction shows. A positive result-the pale yellow precipitate of triiodomethane (iodoform) - is given by an aldehyde or ketone containing the grouping: <P> Introduction to iodoform test: Formation of haloform as a result of a chemical reaction involving the methyl ketone halogenation is a haloform reaction. Haloform reaction is used for the production of iodoform (CHI 3). I like to share this Escape Velocity Formula with you all through my article. Ethanol tested for Iodoform test: To the iodine solution taken in a flask, add ethanol. Later add sodium hydroxide with continuous stirring. This reaction forms a crystalline yellow precipitate indicating a positive iodoform test. <P> The reaction of iodine and base with methyl ketones is so reliable that the iodoform test (the appearance of a yellow precipitate) is used to probe the presence of a methyl ketone. Iodoform is the organoiodine compound with the formula C H I 3. A pale yellow, crystalline, volatile substance, it has a penetrating odor (in older chemistry texts, the smell is sometimes referred to as the smell of hospitals) and, analogous to chloroform, sweetish taste. It is occasionally used as a disinfectant <P> Iodoform Test. A positive reaction with sodium hydroxide and iodine as reagents produce iodoform, which is a substance that is pale yellow in colour. Iodoform occurs as solid at ordinary room temperature because of three iodine atoms that are present in the molecule resulting in an increase in the molar mass. Ethanol tested for Iodoform test: To the iodine solution taken in a flask, add ethanol. Later add sodium hydroxide with continuous stirring. This reaction forms a crystalline yellow precipitate indicating a positive iodoform test. <P> Iodoform Reaction. The iodoform test indicates the presence of an aldehyde or ketone in which one of the groups directly attached to the carbonyl carbon is a methyl group. Such a ketone is called a methyl ketone. In the iodoform test, the unknown is allowed to react with a mixture of iodine and base. Hydrogens alpha to a carbonyl group are acidic and will react with base to form the anion, which then reacts with iodine to form an alpha-iodo ketone.

what is homeopathic medicine used for
|
<P> Historically, people have used homeopathy to maintain health and treat a wide range of long-term illnesses, such as allergies, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and irritable bowel syndrome. They have also used it to treat minor injuries, such as cuts and scrapes and muscle strains or sprains. Homeopathic treatment is not considered appropriate for illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, major infections, or emergencies. <P> Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health. Homeopathy is based on the idea that like cures like.. That is, if a substance causes a symptom in a healthy person, giving the person a very small amount of the same substance may cure the illness. In theory, a homeopathic dose enhances the body's normal healing and self-regulatory processes. They have also used it to treat minor injuries, such as cuts and scrapes and muscle strains or sprains. Homeopathic treatment is not considered appropriate for illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, major infections, or emergencies. <P> Homeopathy, or Homeopathic Medicine, is the practice of medicine that embraces a holistic, natural approach to the treatment of the sick. Homeopathy is holistic because it treats the person as a whole, rather than focusing on a diseased part or a labeled sickness. Homeopathy is natural because its remedies are produced according to the U.S. FDA-recognized Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States from natural sources, whether vegetable, mineral, or animal in nature. The word Homeopathy, which comes from the Greek, through Latin into English, literally means “like disease”. <P> In the practice of Homeopathic Medicine, a detailed, comprehensive interview of the patient, called the homeopathic case-taking, is undertaken to reveal the physical, psychological and emotional characteristics and complaints of that individual. Homeopathy is natural because its remedies are produced according to the U.S. FDA-recognized Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States from natural sources, whether vegetable, mineral, or animal in nature. The word Homeopathy, which comes from the Greek, through Latin into English, literally means “like disease”. <P> Homeopathy is not a plausible system of treatment, as its axioms about how drugs, illness, the human body, liquids and solutions operate are contradicted by a wide range of discoveries across biology, psychology, physics and chemistry made in the two centuries since its invention. Homeopathy is a pseudoscience —a belief that is incorrectly presented as scientific—and is ineffective for treating any condition. Hahnemann believed the underlying causes of disease were phenomena that he termed miasms, and that homeopathic preparations addressed these. <P> Homeopathy (/ˌhoʊmiˈɒpəθi/) is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann based on his doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus curentur), a claim that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people. Homeopathy is a pseudoscience —a belief that is incorrectly presented as scientific—and is ineffective for treating any condition. Hahnemann believed the underlying causes of disease were phenomena that he termed miasms, and that homeopathic preparations addressed these. <P> Herbs are widely used today, in teas, vitamins and natural supplements. While the benefits of herbal medicine are vast, it is important to understand the basis of herbal medicine and to recognize that some herbs can have negative impacts on health. <P> Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a holistic system of treatment that originated in the late eighteenth century. The name homeopathy is derived from two Greek words that mean like disease.. Another benefit of homeopathy is the cost of treatments; homeopathic remedies are inexpensive, often a fraction of the cost of conventional drugs. Homeopathic treatment has been shown effective in treating many conditions. Colds and flu may be effectively treated with aconite and bryonia. <P> Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself. They have also used it to treat minor injuries, such as cuts and scrapes and muscle strains or sprains. Homeopathic treatment is not considered appropriate for illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, major infections, or emergencies. <P> France. Homeopathy is particularly popular in France, where it is the leading alternative therapy. In 1982, 16 percent of the population used homeopathic medicine, rising to 29 percent in 1987, and to 36 percent in 1992 (8). In 2004, 62 percent of French mothers used homeopathic medicines in the previous 12 months (9). Homeopathic medicine is practiced by 4,500 medical doctors in Germany, almost twice as many as did so in 1994. The German government conducted this survey, and it also discovered that there was a 33 percent reduction in sick days if people used natural therapies, especially homeopathy or acupuncture.

what does mulching means
|
<P> Best Answer: Mulch is any material placed over soil in the garden. It's designed to retain moisture, deter weeds and keep the soil from eroding. The benefits of mulch are plentiful. For the busy gardener, mulch is a great time-saving device because it helps to prevent weeds from sprouting in the garden. In addition, it can keep the soil moist, reducing the need for constant watering. <P> It can be many things-mulch is also a verb meaning to cover the soil around plants to suppress weed growth and hold in heat and moisture. Typical mulch you would buy at the hardware store is shredded wood and bark-it can also be wood chips-some people will use newspaper or plastic. It's designed to retain moisture, deter weeds and keep the soil from eroding. The benefits of mulch are plentiful. For the busy gardener, mulch is a great time-saving device because it helps to prevent weeds from sprouting in the garden. In addition, it can keep the soil moist, reducing the need for constant watering. <P> A mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of an area of soil. Its purpose is any or all of the following: 1 to conserve moisture. 2 to improve the fertility and health of the soil. 3 to reduce weed growth. A mulch is usually but not exclusively organic in nature. It may be permanent (e.g. plastic sheeting) or temporary (e.g. bark chips). It may be applied to bare soil, or around existing plants. Mulches of manure or compost will be incorporated naturally into the soil by the activity of worms and other organisms. <P> When you mulch your lawn you don't bag the clippings you just let them go back onto the lawn. What it does is allows the grass seed that is on the blade to go back onto the ground and germinate thus creating a thicker, fuller lawn. It's designed to retain moisture, deter weeds and keep the soil from eroding. The benefits of mulch are plentiful. For the busy gardener, mulch is a great time-saving device because it helps to prevent weeds from sprouting in the garden. In addition, it can keep the soil moist, reducing the need for constant watering. <P> mulch. n. A protective covering, usually of organic matter such as leaves, straw, or peat, placed around plants to prevent the evaporation of moisture, the freezing of roots, and the growth of weeds. tr.v. mulched, mulch·ing, mulch·es. Gerund: mulching. A technique of adding a layer to the surface of the soil to suppress weeds and prevent water loss through evaporation. There are three main types: fabric sheet mulches; organic loose mulches, such as chipped bark; and inorganic loose mulches, such as gravel or pebbles. <P> To do it properly, you need a mulching mower and a system in place that prevents your grass from overgrowing. Once you establish a lawn care routine, mulch mowing saves you time and energy while also improving the condition of your lawn. <P> Mulching. Mulching enriches and protects soil, helping provide a better growing environment. Mulching is one of the simplest and most beneficial practices you can use in the garden. Mulch is simply a protective layer of a material that is spread on top of the soil. <P> n. A protective covering, usually of organic matter such as leaves, straw, or peat, placed around plants to prevent the evaporation of moisture, the freezing of roots, and the growth of weeds. tr.v. mulched, mulch·ing, mulch·es. To cover or surround with mulch. <P> Definition: Mulch is a covering placed around plants (or covering the ground in lieu of plants), to prevent the growth of weeds. If placed around plants, a mulch provides additional benefits, including the diminution of erosion and water loss, and the regulation of soil temperature.

the purpose of christian aid
|
<P> We are an agency of our churches in Britain and Ireland and are mandated to work on relief, development and advocacy for poverty eradication. Christian Aid’s work is founded on Christian faith, inspired by hope and acts to change an unjust world through charity – a practical love and care for our neighbours. <P> Our vision. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. Christian Aid has a vision-an end to poverty-and we believe that vision can become a reality. From April 2012, Christian aid's work will be focused around the goals and objectives identified in our corporate strategy, 'Partnership for change – the power to end poverty' . <P> mostly in life people gives the most money to Christian aid.We all no that christian aid is a really poor place that no one can do much about it but in the world 90000 of people are giving christian Adi's allot of money by trying really hard. <P> When Dr. Bob Finley started Christian Aid Mission in 1953 to support native missionaries, the idea was controversial and met with criticism. Skeptics questioned the prudence of trusting native missionaries to undertake the Great Commission inside of their own countries. <P> Does Christian Aid get involved in politics?Christian Aid is not party-political and always works within the law. But we believe that it's our duty to address the causes of poverty. Many of these causes, such as debt or trade, are essentially political or economic in origin. Christian Aid believes we can use our influence on politicians and business leaders to make sure that they think about what is best for the world's poorest people. Find out more about our campaigns. <P> Our vision | Purpose | Mandate | Values | Ways of working. Christian Aid is a Christian organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. <P> Christian Aid Ministries was founded in 1981 as a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Our primary purpose is to be a trustworthy and efficient channel for Amish, Mennonite, and other conservative Anabaptist groups and individuals to minister to physical and spiritual needs around the world.

<P> dry food and wellness canned chicken wet food (for the Tapazole administration)We lost our other cat who had also been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in April 2011. He did not respond well to Tapazole. I think there was some other issues going on but we were first trying to get the thyroid under control. <P> In the vast majority of cases, a definitive diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is based on a simple blood test that shows elevated T 4 levels in the bloodstream. Unfortunately, between 2 percent and 10 percent of cats with hyperthyroidism will have normal T 4 levels. Hyperthyroidism is the most common glandular disorder in cats. It is most frequently caused by an excessive concentration of circulating thyroxine-a thyroid hormone better known as T 4 - <P> Weight loss is seen in 95 to 98 percent of hyperthyroid cats, and a hearty appetite in 67 to 81 percent. Excessive thirst, increased urination, hyperactivity, unkempt appearance, panting, diarrhea and increased shedding have also been reported. Vomiting is seen in about 50 percent of affected cats. Hyperthyroidism is the most common glandular disorder in cats. It is most frequently caused by an excessive concentration of circulating thyroxine-a thyroid hormone better known as T 4 -in the bloodstream. <P> Hyperthyroidism in Cats. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing thyroid hormones that control metabolism, calcium balance and other functions throughout the body. When the thyroid gland makes too much hormone (usually due to a non-malignant tumor), this creates a condition called hyperthyroidism. This food is a prescription diet, available only through your veterinarian, for cats diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Until September 30, 2011, Hill's is offering free Starter Packs to veterinarians for their hyperthyroid patients. <P> Hyperthyroidism, or thyrotoxicosis, is the most common endocrine disease in cats. When an animal or a person has hyperthyroidism it means that there is a high concentration of thyroid hormones in the blood. The opposite, low thyroid hormone levels, is called hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism occurs mostly in older cats, generally around 12 years old, although reports have shown a wide range between 4 and 23 years. <P> Description. Only Natural Pet Thyroid Wellness Canine contains a selection of herbs and co-factors known for their supportive function in maintaining thyroid health. Considered to be the body’s master gland, the thyroid regulates metabolism and influences the function of all other glands in the endocrine system. The benefits of the ingredients in Only Natural Pet Thyroid Wellness Canine Formula include: 1 Bladderwrack: Bladderwrack is a sea vegetable used as a prime source of iodine. 2 Natural iodine stimulates the thyroid gland and boosts metabolism. <P> Categories: Feline Health, Feline Nutrition. Hyperthyroidism is a common disease that typically affects middle-aged and older cats. It is caused by an excess production of thyroid hormones, which are produced by the thyroid gland, located inside the cat’s neck. Thyroid hormones affect nearly all organs, which is why thyroid disease can sometimes cause secondary problems such as hypertension, heart and kidney disease. Editor’s note: Soy is a common source of flavanoids, and is also a common ingredient in lesser quality pet foods. Soy protein is cheaper than meat protein, which is why manufacturers often use it to boost the protein content in pet foods. Unfortunately, cats lack the enzyme to properly metabolize plant-based proteins. <P> Hill's Pet Foods has been a leader in prescription foods; foods designed to manage various conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease and urinary health for years. The hyperthyroidism food is Y/D, and will be available through veterinarians starting on September 1, 2011. This food is a prescription diet, available only through your veterinarian, for cats diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Until September 30, 2011, Hill's is offering free Starter Packs to veterinarians for their hyperthyroid patients. <P> Now that I only feed canned or raw food my cats have never been healthier. I even cured cat’s of obesity, diabetes and a food allergies because many dry foods use a flavoring spray that is addictive to some cats and dry foods contain too many carbs as our cats are obligate carnivores. This causes overeating and obesity and disease. Editor’s note: Soy is a common source of flavanoids, and is also a common ingredient in lesser quality pet foods.

articles defining what a burn wound is
|
<P> Most burns are minor injuries that occur at home or work. It is common to get a minor burn from hot water, a curling iron, or touching a hot stove. Home treatment is usually all that is needed for healing and to prevent other problems, such as infection. Infection is a concern with all burns. Watch for signs of infection during the healing process. Home treatment for a minor burn will reduce the risk of infection. Deep burns with open blisters are more likely to become infected and need medical treatment. <P> Wound Care Facts. 1 The skin is a barrier to the outside world protecting the body from infection, radiation, and extremes of temperature. 2 There are many types of wounds that can damage the skin including abrasions, lacerations, rupture injuries, punctures, and penetrating wounds. 1 <P> Most burn injuries can be managed on an outpatient basis by primary care physicians. Prevention efforts can significantly lower the incidence of burns, especially in children. Burns should be managed in the same manner as any other trauma, including a primary and secondary survey. This article discusses aspects of burn prevention to help minimize morbidity, current evaluation and management of minor burns in the outpatient setting, and indications for referral to specialty care or for transfer to a burn unit. <P> Superficial burns can be treated with topical application of lotions, honey, aloe vera, or antibiotic ointment. Partial-thickness burns should be treated with a topical antimicrobial agent or an absorptive occlusive dressing to help reduce pain, promote healing, and prevent wound desiccation. This article discusses aspects of burn prevention to help minimize morbidity, current evaluation and management of minor burns in the outpatient setting, and indications for referral to specialty care or for transfer to a burn unit. <P> Children with severe burns should be sent to a facility that has personnel and equipment to care for children with burns; children may be transferred between burn centers if the one they were originally brought to is not qualified or does not have the equipment required for the care of children. Children with severe burns should be sent to a facility that has personnel and equipment to care for pediatric burn cases. Children may be transferred between burn centers if the one they were originally brought to is not qualified or does not have the equipment required for the care of children. <P> The deeper the burn and the larger the burned area, the more serious the burn is. 1 First-degree burns are burns of the first layer of skin. 2 There are two types of second-degree burns 3 : Superficial partial-thickness burns injure the first and second layers of skin. 4 Deep partial-thickness burns injure deeper skin layers. Infection is a concern with all burns. Watch for signs of infection during the healing process. Home treatment for a minor burn will reduce the risk of infection. Deep burns with open blisters are more likely to become infected and need medical treatment. <P> A burn is a type of injury to flesh or skin caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Burns that affect only the superficial skin are known as superficial or first-degree burns. When damage penetrates into some of the underlying layers, it is a partial-thickness or second-degree burn. In a full-thickness or third-degree burn, the injury extends to all layers of the skin. The size of a burn is measured as a percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) affected by partial thickness or full thickness burns. First-degree burns that are only red in color and are not blistering are not included in this estimation. Most burns (70%) involve less than 10% of the TBSA. <P> The standard of care for full-thickness burns is burn wound excision and grafting. The mortality of patients with massive burns is reduced by early tangential excision of the entire wound, followed by skin closure with an autograft from unburned areas on the patient or an allograft from a donor cadaver. Burns exert a catastrophic influence on people in terms of human life, suffering, disability, and financial loss. More than an estimated 2 million people in the United States experience burn injuries, most of which are minor and cared for primarily in the ED.

what should resting heart rate be for a man
|
<P> Remember to take your resting heart rate over at least 3 days so that you can get an average reading. For example if on day one you record 72 bpm (beats per minute) day two you record 78 bpm and on day three you record 72 bpm, then your average is 74 bpm. Look at recording your resting heart rate for a full minute to make the test as accurate as possible. A young women at 22 years of age with a resting heart rate of 55, would be classed as (athlete), but not all low resting heart rates are a good indication of an individuals fitness. <P> What is the normal pulse rate for men? The normal pulse rate range for men and women is 60-100 bpm. Small children (1-10 years) and infants have slightly higher pulse rate than adults. The pulse rate calculated when you are at rest is known as normal or resting pulse rate, or normal / resting heart rate (RHR). The resting heart rate for men may vary according to the age, activity, lifestyle and overall health of a man. <P> As an example, a man with a resting heart rate of 72 at an age of 40, will be classed as having an average resting heart rate. A young women at 22 years of age with a resting heart rate of 55, would be classed as (athlete), but not all low resting heart rates are a good indication of an individuals fitness. <P> Resting Rate. Your resting heart rate is your heart rate while at rest or sitting still. According to the American Heart Association, the best time to check your resting pulse rate is right before you get out of bed in the morning. The normal rate for an adult male is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. For an endurance athlete, the resting heart rate will typically be lower, indicating a more efficient heart function. <P> A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath. With. <P> A normal resting heart rate can range anywhere from 40 to 100 beats per minute. Below is a chart relating resting heart rate and fitness level. As can be seen on this chart, your resting heart rate can vary with your fitness level and with age — the fitter you are, generally the lower the resting heart rate. 1 My resting heart rate is 66 BPM that's after lying on a bed for 10 mins. 2 I go gym and also do Krav Maga contact combat during which time my heart rate on max goes up to 359 BPM, when my heart rate is at this pace I see things in slow motion, with clarity. <P> Brett. Dear Brett, A heart rate of 38 beats per minute (bpm) can be normal in a well-trained endurance runner at age 60. The heart rate normally lowers at rest. And distance running over four years could cause a reduction in resting heart rate from 60 bpm to 38 bpm. The “normal” heart rate range is usually between 60 bpm and 100 bpm and is most accurately measured when you first wake up before you begin to move around for the day. <P> For adults 18 and older, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the person’s physical condition and age. For children ages 6 to 15, the normal resting heart rate is between 70 and 100 bpm, according to the AHA. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical problem. Active people often have lower heart rates because their heart muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. Athletes and people who are very fit can have resting heat rate of 40 bpm. A resting heart rate lower than 60 could also be the result of taking certain medications. Many medications people take especially medication for blood pressure, such as the beta blockers, will lower your heart rate, Bauman said. <P> Your pulse rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute. And while pulse rates vary from person to person, they are influenced by factors such as age and fitness level. There is also a slight difference in rates by gender, as men tend to have a slightly lower resting and maximum heart rate than women. The normal rate for an adult male is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. For an endurance athlete, the resting heart rate will typically be lower, indicating a more efficient heart function.

deck cost
|
<P> But with the Trex Deck Cost Calculator, we've made it easier to estimate the cost of materials for a Trex deck. By factoring in the anticipated size of your project along with the estimated costs for material, you'll have a better idea of just how much it will cost to build a high-performance composite deck. Labor. Labor and installation costs account for nearly two-thirds of the final deck cost. That's the majority of your deck cost no matter what materials you choose-good news for experienced DIYers. <P> The more elaborate your deck design and the choice of materials will increase the cost of the deck, so keep those factors in mind. The cost of a professionally built pressured-treated wood deck starts at about $15 per square foot, including materials. The cost for an elaborately built deck using costly hardwoods or composite materials can run about $35 per square foot <P> Get an INSTANT estimate of the cost to Install Wood Decking! Our free calculator uses recent, trusted data to estimate costs for your Wood Decking Installation project. For a basic 120 square feet project in zip code 47474, the benchmark cost to Install Wood Decking ranges between $7.95 - $10.84 per square foot* . To estimate costs for your project: 1. Set Project Zip Code Enter the Zip Code for the location where labor is hired and materials purchased. <P> Most decks material costs range from $10 to $20 per square foot. That means a no frills 350 square foot cedar deck will run about $4,200 for materials or about $7,000 if you plan on using composite materials. If you are experiencing sticker shock right now you have discovered a design limitation in your deck design. <P> 1 Some of the factors affecting the total cost for any type of deck include the height; shape; number of levels; railing length, material and style; steps, staircases and landings; benches, lighting or other built-in features; and whether an old deck needs to be demolished and hauled away. 1 Composite deck installation can cost $25-$70 or more a square foot (8,000 -$22,400 for 16'x20). <P> Decking Prices. Once you determine what kind of decking materials you'll need to build the structure, it's time to get down to price. While the average cost to build a deck averages between $4,000 and $10,000, that doesn't account for the materials. Here is the average cost of each decking material, broken down by average price range per board: It's important to know what board sizes you'll need to purchase for your deck. The cost to construct a deck varies depending on the material used. Some of those prices include: These prices will vary by square footage and whether you have other features added to your deck that involve more materials. Learn more about decking materials and which one is right for you in the section below. <P> 1 Wood is the most traditional, common and easily available material for decks; it is typically easier to work with than composite materials. 2 Composite deck installation can cost $25-$70 or more a square foot (8,000 -$22,400 for 16'x20). 1 Composite deck installation can cost $25-$70 or more a square foot (8,000 -$22,400 for 16'x20). <P> 1 The total project cost for a Trex deck will be from $1,500 to $2,200 for a 250-square-foot deck. 2 Trex Select of basic quality averages approximately $7 per square foot. 3 Trex Enhance of higher quality is approximately $8 per square foot. 4 Trex Transcend, the highest grade, ranges between $9 and $9.50 per square foot. To get an idea of what this means to consumers, an estimated 140,000 plastic bags are in a 500-square foot Trex deck. 1 <P> The magazine's survey indicates that a midrange wood deck addition that costs $10,350 in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. will recoup about 70 percent of its value at resale on the national average. In the same study, a composite deck addition that cost $15,579 recouped 62.8 percent on the national average. The cost of a professionally built pressured-treated wood deck starts at about $15 per square foot, including materials.

causes of late period
|
<P> If your cycle is usually regular and you’re suddenly late having your period, it can be a worry. Causes of late periods are: • Pregnancy. Sexually active women could be pregnant and it is in fact often the first sign that a woman is pregnant. By two weeks late, all home pregnancy tests should be able to detect HCG, the pregnancy hormone, in your urine. <P> A missed period and abdominal bloating may occur for many reasons that are not cause for concern. However, if your missed periods continue or your bloating worsens, seeking a physician's care can help to determine a root cause. If you miss three periods in a row, see a doctor. The condition can cause discomfort and pain but is usually temporary and not a cause for concern. A missed period is when your menstrual period does not happen when you thought it would (and is not just late). A missed period occurs when your menstrual cycle does not follow its customary rhythm. <P> A woman is not considered to have secondary amenorrhea until she has missed three menstrual periods in a row. However, the causes of secondary amenorrhea are generally the same factors or conditions that can lead to a skipped period. If a woman is not pregnant, a missed menstrual period may be due to a wide variety of both physical and emotional conditions that range from lifestyle stress to rare and serious diseases. <P> 1 You may be pregnant. 2 Take a home pregnancy test or see your gynaecologist for a thorough examination. 3 If the result is negative, then you and your doctor will have to further investigate what the cause for your late periods might be. 4 Young girls in their teens usually have late periods. Fortunately, being pregnant is only one of hundreds of reasons that you may have late periods. All women have late periods at some point. It is not a cause for undue concern and generally the problem will just resolve itself. You may be a day or two late, a week late, or you may miss a period altogether. <P> Causes of Late Periods. 1 You may be pregnant. 2 Take a home pregnancy test or see your gynaecologist for a thorough examination. 3 If the result is negative, then you and your doctor will have to further investigate what the cause for your late periods might be.

It is not a cause for undue concern and generally the problem will just resolve itself. You may be a day or two late, a week late, or you may miss a period altogether. <P> Missed or late periods happen for many reasons other than pregnancy. Common causes can range from hormonal imbalances to serious medical conditions. There are also two times in a woman’s life when it’s totally normal for her period to be irregular: when it first begins, and when menopause starts. <P> Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If you might be pregnant, treat yourself as if you are pregnant until you know for sure. Use a home pregnancy test as the first step to finding out whether you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant, other causes of missed or irregular periods include: 1 Excessive weight loss or gain. 2 Although low body weight is a common cause of missed or irregular periods, obesity also can cause menstrual problems. 3 Eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia. 1 Although low body weight is a common cause of missed or irregular periods, obesity also can cause menstrual problems. 2 Eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia. 3 For more information, see the topic Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa. 4 Increased exercise. 5 Missed periods are common in endurance athletes. <P> If a period is late and you do not think it is stress or pregnancy, then see a doctor so that curative measures can be taken to bring your period back on track. Basically, once the underlying cause of late periods has been accurately determined and treated, your menstrual cycle should return to normal. Fortunately, being pregnant is only one of hundreds of reasons that you may have late periods. All women have late periods at some point. It is not a cause for undue concern and generally the problem will just resolve itself. You may be a day or two late, a week late, or you may miss a period altogether.

what is npiv
|
<P> What NPIV does is allow a single physical N_Port to have multiple WWPNs, and therefore multiple N_Port_IDs, associated with it. After the normal FLOGI process, an NPIV-enabled physical N_Port can subsequently issue additional commands to register more WWPNs and receive more N_Port_IDs (one for each WWPN). <P> N port identifier virtualization (NPIV) provides a means to assign multiple FC IDs to a single N port. This feature allows multiple applications on the N port to use different identifiers and allows access control, zoning, and port security to be implemented at the application level. <P> N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) is a technology that defines how multiple virtual servers can share a single physical Fibre Channel port identification (ID). Free Download: A buyer’s checklist to backing up virtual servers. <P> Understanding NPIV and NPV. Two technologies that seem to have come to the fore recently are NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) and NPV (N_Port Virtualization). Judging just by the names, you might think that these two technologies are the same thing. <P> NPIV or N_Port ID Virtualization is a Fibre Channel feature whereby multiple Fibre Channel node port (N_Port) IDs can share a single physical N_Port. <P> NPIV is a Fibre Channel facility that enables one Fibre Channel adapter to have many N Port IDs. Each N Port has a unique identity (port WWN and node WWN) on the SAN and can be used for zoning and LUN masking. Soft zoning, which you can use to group ports together by port WWN, is the preferred method of zoning. <P> Enter NPIV. NPIV also known as N_Port ID Virtualization, is a capability that is unique to fibre channel SANs, and is an extension to the existing fibre channel standard which restores the best practice of SAN zoning to the virtual environment by allowing the creation of a virtual WWN per virtual machine.

what is central retinal artery occlusion
|
<P> Central retinal artery occlusion occurs when the central retinal artery becomes blocked, usually due to an embolus. It causes sudden, painless, unilateral, and usually severe vision loss. Diagnosis is by history and characteristic retinal findings on funduscopy. <P> Retinal vascular occlusion affects the eye, specifically the retina. An occlusion occurs when one of the veins or arteries carrying blood to or from the retina becomes blocked or contains a blood clot. The blockage could occur in the main vein or main artery. Blockages could also occur in the branch of veins and arteries throughout the retina. <P> Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a disease of the eye where the flow of blood through the central retinal artery is blocked (occluded). Signs and symptoms [edit]. Central retinal artery occlusions cause sudden, acute, and painless loss of vision in one eye. Fundoscopic exam will show a red lesion, called a cherry red spot, with surrounding pale retina (the pale color is caused by ischemia of the retina). <P> 11. Retinal vein occlusion occurs when one of the tiny retinal veins becomes blocked by a blood clot. It usually leads to a painless decrease in vision in one eye. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, diabetes, smoking and raised pressure in the eye (glaucoma). Retinal vein occlusion occurs when one of the tiny retinal veins becomes blocked by a blood clot. This means that blood cannot drain away from the retina as easily and there is a backlog of blood in the blood vessels of the retina. This can lead to a build-up of pressure in the blood vessels <P> Central retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small blood vessels that carry blood away from the retina, located in the back of the eye. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various body parts. Veins return oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. The retina has one major artery and one major vein. The vein is called the central retinal vein. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a blockage of this vein that causes the vein to leak blood and excess fluid into the retina. This fluid often collects in the area of the retina responsible for central vision called the macula. <P> Central Retinal Artery Occlusion. When one of the vessels that carries blood to your eye's retina gets blocked, it can cause painless, but usually sudden, vision loss in one eye. Doctors call this a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Click Image to Enlarge. Your retina is the layer of nerves at the back of your inner eye that sense light. Like a tiny video camera, your retina transforms images into electrical signals that your optic nerve carries to your brain. If an occlusion, or blockage of a blood vessel, occurs in your retina, it can be quite serious <P> Arteries carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body, and veins carry the blood back to the heart. A blockage in an artery or vein is called an occlusion or stroke. The eye is often compared to a camera. The front of the eye contains a lens that focuses images on the inside of the back of the eye.

what is taxonomy code
|
<P> Taxonomy. The Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set is a hierarchical code set that consists of codes, descriptions, and definitions. Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Codes are designed to categorize the type, classification, and/or specialization of health care providers. The Code Set consists of two sections: Individuals and Groups of Individuals, and Non-Individuals. The Code Set is updated twice a year, effective April 1 and October 1. The “Crosswalk – Medicare Provider/Supplier to Healthcare Provider Taxonomy” was updated because of changes made to the Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set that will be implemented October 1, 2008. <P> Taxonomy Codes Printer Friendly. Taxonomy codes are national specialty codes used by providers to indicate their specialty at the claim level. PPOs also use provider specialties to group like type provider types and indicate correct specialty designations on provider finders <P> Taxonomy codes are national 10-digit alpha-numeric codes that classify health care providers according to the primary services they render. There are far more taxonomy code values defined than BCBSMA Type/Specialty Code combinations. Taxonomy codes often define sub-specialty variations in health care services. BCBSMA generally defines Type and Specialty Codes only for providers with whom BCBSMA contracts. <P> Picking the correct taxonomy code is extremely important because it can directly affect your reimbursement by insurance companies. Taxonomy Codes are an administrative code set for identifying the provider type and area of specialization for health care providers. They are alphanumeric and are ten characters in length. Taxonomy codes allow providers to identify their specialty. <P> Code Set Resources.

where do the lymph nodes of the axillary region receive lymph from
|
<P> Click to read more below. The axillary nodes are a group of lymph nodes located in the axillary (or armpit) region of the body. They perform the vital function of filtration and conduction of lymph from the upper limbs, pectoral region, and upper back. Each group of lymph nodes receives lymph from a specific region of the body or from another group of lymph nodes. 1 The pectoral group consists of four or five large lymph nodes located at the superior border of the pectoralis major muscle. <P> 1 Central group: Lying in the center of the axilla in the axillary fat, these nodes receive lymph from the above three groups. 2 Infraclavicular (deltopectoral) group: These nodes are not strictly axillary nodes because they are located outside the axilla. If there is no cancer present, it is assumed the cancer has not spread to the other lymph nodes. This procedure is often less invasive and less damaging than the axillary lymph node dissection. The estimated risk of lymphedema following sentinel lymph node procedure is less than 3%. <P> 2. The pectoral nodes, at the inferior border of the pectoralis minor, drain most of the breast. 3. The posterior, or subscapular, nodes, in the posterior axillary fold, drain the posterior shoulder. 4. The central nodes, near the base of the axilla, receive the lymph from the preceding three groups. They form the group most likely to be palpable (against the lateral thoracic wall). The supratrochlear and deltopectoral nodes receive many superficial lymphatic vessels. The axillary nodes are indicated by capital letters. The lateral nodes drain the upper limb. The subareolar plexus drains by collecting trunks into the axillary nodes. The pectoral nodes <P> Lymph nodes in the underarm region receive lymph from vessels that drain the upper limbs, the wall of the thorax, the mammary glands (breasts), and the upper wall of the abdomen. <P> These lymph nodes are clinically significant in breast cancer, and metastases from the breast to the axillary lymph nodes are considered in the staging of the disease. If there is no cancer present, it is assumed the cancer has not spread to the other lymph nodes. This procedure is often less invasive and less damaging than the axillary lymph node dissection. The estimated risk of lymphedema following sentinel lymph node procedure is less than 3%. <P> 1 Infraclavicular (deltopectoral) group: These nodes are not strictly axillary nodes because they are located outside the axilla. 2 They lie in the groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles and receive superficial lymph vessels from the lateral side of the hand, forearm, and arm. If there is no cancer present, it is assumed the cancer has not spread to the other lymph nodes. This procedure is often less invasive and less damaging than the axillary lymph node dissection. The estimated risk of lymphedema following sentinel lymph node procedure is less than 3%. <P> The axillary (arm pit) lymph nodes filter and/or trap lymph from the arm, chest wall and breast. It is often difficult to feel normal axillary lymph nodes. Not all enlarged axillary lymph nodes feel the same. It is also important to mention that enlarged axillary lymph nodes are not necessarily a sign of cancer. <P> These areas are the inguinal nodes in the groin, the axillary nodes in the armpit, and the cervical nodes in the neck. The typical lymph node is surrounded by a connective tissue capsule and divided into compartments called lymph nodules. They are widely distributed throughout the body along the lymphatic pathways where they filter the lymph before it is returned to the blood. Lymph nodes are not present in the central nervous system. There are three superficial regions on each side of the body where lymph nodes tend to cluster. <P> Lymph node basins for the breast include the axilla, internal mammary chain, and supraclavicular region. Lymphatic drainage of the breast is primarily into the axillary lymph nodes, which are the most common site of involvement in lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer. Less extensive drainage occurs through the chest wall into the internal mammary nodes, which receive drainage from the medial segments of the breast.

what is the normal range for a random blood sugar
|
<P> For a person without diabetes, the normal glucose levels should be in the range of 70 to 120 mg/dl. According to American Diabetes Association, the normal glucose range for diabetics should always be less than 154 mg/dl. The normal glucose range for children before breakfast should be in the range 70 to 99 mg/dl. <P> Normal blood sugar varies from person to person, but a normal range for fasting blood sugar (the amount of glucose in your blood six to eight hours after a meal) is between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter. For most individuals, the level of glucose in the blood rises after meals. <P> Best Answer: Random Blood Glucose Test: Random blood Glucose test gives your blood sugar at any time in a day. Normal random blood sugar level should be less than 200mg/dl. If your random blood glucose level is between 140mg/dl to 200mg/dl then you will have pre-diabetes. Seems that you are fine. <P> A normal fasting blood glucose target range for an individual without diabetes is 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L). The American Diabetes Association recommends a fasting plasma glucose level of 70–130 mg/dL (3.9-7.2 mmol/L) and after meals less than 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L). <P> Adults. A normal blood sugar level is between 72 mg/dL and 108 mg/dL (4 to 6 mmol/L) for a healthy person. The concentration of glucose in the blood of a healthy person in the morning on an empty stomach is between 68 mg/dL and 108 mg/dL (3.8 and 6.0 mmol/L).

what is considered the location of the pelvic
|
<P> Pelvis. The pelvic region is the headquarters for reproductive organs and the end of the line for the digestive tract.

The pelvic region is the area between the trunk — or main body — and the lower extremities, or legs. The female pelvis is morphologically different (different in form) from a male’s but most of the differences are not apparent until puberty. <P> 1 Endometrium: The lining of the uterus. 2 Uterus: Also called the womb, the uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in a woman's lower abdomen, between the bladder and the rectum. 3 Ovaries: Two female reproductive organs located in the pelvis. 1 Cervix: The lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb) located between the bladder and the rectum. 2 The cervix forms a canal that opens into the vagina, which leads to the outside of the body. 3 Vagina: The passageway through which fluid passes out of the body during menstrual periods. <P> Pelvis. Located in the lower torso, the pelvis is a sturdy ring of bones that protects the delicate organs of the abdominopelvic cavity while anchoring the powerful muscles of the hip, thigh, and abdomen. Several bones unite to form the pelvis, including the sacrum, coccyx (tail bone), and the left and right coxal (hip) bones. Throughout childhood, the pelvis is made of many smaller bones that eventually fuse during adulthood to form a more rigid pelvis. <P> In human anatomy, the pelvis (plural pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region of the trunk) or the skeleton embedded in it (sometimes also called bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton). They are attached to the sacrum posteriorly, connected to each other anteriorly, and joined with the two femurs at the hip joints.

how long does it take to go from couch to half marathon
|
<P> MOST MAJOR HALF MARATHONS ARE FOR RUNNERS --but walkers can do them too. One advantage of a half marathon over a full marathon is that you won't need to spend as much time on the course. Most reasonably fit individuals should be able to walk 13.1 miles in around four hours. Doing so is fun. But it's handy to know about how fast you are walking, particularly if you are worried about finishing the half marathon in less than four hours. To get a precise measurement of your ability, go to a track for an occasional workout. Outdoor tracks at colleges and high schools are generally 400 meters long. <P> Long Runs: The key to getting ready to finish a Half Marathon is the long run, progressively increasing in distance each weekend. Over a period of 12 weeks, your longest run will increase from 3 to 10 miles. Don't worry about making the final jump from 10 miles in practice to 13.1 miles in the race. <P> The Couch to Half Marathon Plan is all about flexibility. At first glance, you’ll notice that the schedule uses run-walk intervals. Although this plan lists specific intervals, feel free to adjust it to make it fit for you. You may be able to follow this plan as it stands, or it may feel too aggressive. You’ll start out with 3 miles and build from there. Every few weeks this distance will drop to allow your body time to recover. The long workout will be vital to teaching your body how to spend time on your feet, utilize fat as an energy source and simulate the half-marathon distance. <P> I made a goal last year to train and do a marathon in 2010 for my 30th Birthday. But then I got pregnant and so I haven't done any training the past two summers, and instead I've had eating disorder problems and gained a lot of weight. Does anyone know how long it should take to go from obese (female 260 lbs. <P> Long Walks: The key to getting ready to finish a half marathon is the long walk, progressively increasing in distance each weekend. Over a period of 12 weeks, your longest walk will increase from 3 to 10 miles. Don't worry about making the final jump from 10 miles in practice to 13.1 miles in the race.

To get a precise measurement of your ability, go to a track for an occasional workout. Outdoor tracks at colleges and high schools are generally 400 meters long. <P> By Christine Hinton June 22 2015. We’ll take you from the couch to finishing a 5K in less than two months—and a half marathon in just 14 weeks. You’ll start out with 3 miles and build from there. Every few weeks this distance will drop to allow your body time to recover. The long workout will be vital to teaching your body how to spend time on your feet, utilize fat as an energy source and simulate the half-marathon distance. <P> You're a beginner if... you're a walker or weekend jogger or if three miles is a challenge. The Couch to 13.1 beginner plan takes you from a zero base of running to the half-marathon distance slowly to avoid injury and to get your body used to a jogging routine. Download the training plan here. <P> Half Marathon Training for Beginners. If you can run three miles, you can train for 13.1. Really! By Jeff Galloway Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 12:00 am. Image by. Believe it or not, if your long runs are up to three miles, you're ready to train for a half-marathon. Running 13.1 miles might seem impossible now, but you will make it, as long as you take it one week—and one mile—at a time. On alternate weeks, keep your long run to no longer than three miles. Your longest long run should fall two weeks before your half-marathon. Plan to take about 15 weeks to prepare for the big day. Take it Easy The most common mistake runners make is going out too fast—then crashing and burning. <P> If you want to run well, avoid injury and feel good during your race, it’s important to give yourself enough time to prepare. (After all, running 13.1 miles straight is no small feat!) “Many runners think they can go from ‘couch to half marathon’ in 8 to 12 weeks — and while it's possible, it's not ideal. Running your first half marathon can be intimidating, but with the right information and frame of mind, you can move from couch to 13.1 miles with ease. <P> If your aim is to enter a half marathon event then you should expect to spend about three months in half marathon training: this is if you have been doing some running already. The same can be expected as you make the move from 10K to half marathon training. You will feel very anxious that this might be a step too far, but if you are now confidently running 10 kilometres then there is no reason why you cannot make the step towards 21K.

what is noradrenaline
|
<P> Noradrenaline and adrenaline are catecholamines. Noradrenaline is the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nerves in the cardiovascular system. Adrenaline is the main hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla. The sympathetic noradrenergic system plays major roles in tonic and reflexive changes in cardiovascular tone. <P> Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter and a catecholamine-type hormone that is manufactured as a drug and produced naturally in the human body. Also called norepinephrine, especially by those in the medical field, this hormone acts on the parts of the brain involved with responsiveness and fear. This neurotransmitter is released into the blood from the adrenal medulla and from nerves called adrenergic nerves. As a drug, control of the noradrenaline catecholamine is commonly used to treat low blood pressure and chronic depression. <P> noradrenaline. n. 1. (Biochemistry) a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla, increasing blood pressure and heart rate, and by the endings of sympathetic nerves, when it acts as a neurotransmitter both centrally and peripherally. <P> Norepinephrine is the generic form of the brand-name prescription drug Levophed, used to treat life-threatening conditions such as shock and low blood pressure (also known as hypotension). <P> Noradrenaline or norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter released by the nerve cells. Its chemical structure as well as function is similar to adrenaline. It increases blood pressure by constricting the blood vessels. This action normalizes heartbeat due to which breathing becomes more deep and normal. <P> Norepinephrine is a chemical released from the sympathetic nervous system in response to stress. It is classified as a neurotransmitter, a chemical that is released from neurons. Because the release of norepinephrine affects other organs of the body, it is also referred to as a stress hormone.

tcp/ip what does it mean
|
<P> NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT, or sometimes NetBT) is a networking protocol that allows legacy computer applications relying on the NetBIOS API to be used on modern TCP/IP networks. NetBIOS was developed in the early 1980s, targeting very small networks (about a dozen computers). <P> What does TCP/IP mean? TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is a set of networking protocols that allows two or more computers to communicate. <P> 1 TCP/IP network. 2 TCP/IP offload engine. 3 TCP/IP offload engine. 4 TCP/IP offload engine. 5 TCP/IP offload engine. 6 TCP/IP OTMA Connection. 7 TCP/IP port. 8 TCP/IP port. 9 TCP/IP port. 10 TCP/IP port number. <P> • TCP/IP (noun). The noun TCP/IP has 1 sense: 1. a set of protocols (including TCP) developed for the internet in the 1970s to get data from one network device to another. Familiarity information: TCP/IP used as a noun is very rare. Dictionary entry details. <P> 1. Re: What is the TCP/IP Stack. The TCP/IP stack is a complete set of networking protocols. The OSI Model was meant to be a standardized way of connecting devices together, and most protocols have some direct correlation to the OSI Model. <P> [XP] Curious: exactly what does resetting the TCP/IP do. I was having a problem with XP running very slowly when accessing the internet. Some one mentioned that I should reset the TCP/IP stack. I did so, using the command presented in the Windows XP FAQs in this forum. It seemed to work, access is good again. <P> vs. SecurActive Performance Vision. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation via which application programs can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers send packet s of data to each other. <P> When a host sends a packet, the packet is transmitted from an upper layer protocol (TCP, UDP, or ICMP) to IP, and then IP on the sending host does the following: 1 Sets the Time-to-Live (TTL) value to either a default or application-specified value. When a packet is received at a router, the packet is passed to IP, and IP on the router does the following: 1 Verifies the IP header checksum. 2 If the IP header checksum fails, the IP packet is discarded without notification to the user. 3 This is known as a silent discard. <P> So, here is a brief list of facts regarding the abbreviation IP.. 1 IP (eye-pea) is actually part of a longer abbreviation — TCP/IP. 2 That stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.

what are some properties that make elements different from each other
|
<P> Compounds are usually very different from the elements that have combined together to make them. Water, for example, is a liquid that we can use to put out fires. Both oxygen and hydrogen are gases, and hydrogen easily catches fire. <P> The characteristic properties of these elements are different from those of water. However, hydrogen and oxygen have some common properties. They are both colorless, odorless gases, and they both readily react with other elements—making them reactive elements. But in many ways they are very different from each other. Hydrogen has the lowest density of all th <P> The atoms of different elements are different from each other because they have different numbers of protons. The graphic below illustrates this point by showing the atoms of two elements in the containers of oxygen and hydrogen. The atoms in oxygen are identical to each other. The atoms in hydrogen are identical to each other. However, the atoms of oxygen are different from the atoms of hydrogen. Compounds, like water, are formed by combining the atoms of different elements together according to some chemical formula. Review: 1 An atom is the smallest particle of an element that remain identical to all other particles. 2 The atoms of one element are different from those of all other element. <P> Elements and compounds are pure chemical substances found in nature. The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen.

what is the cambrian radiation and when did it occur
|
<P> The Cambrian explosion is supposedly a time in Earth's history about 570 million years ago when life evolved extremely quickly from single-celled organisms to complex plants a … nd animals. <P> Life became more diverse and abundant in the seas during the Cambrian time period, which started about 545 million years ago. The fossils record the explosion of life that started about 540 million years ago during the Cambrian period. He explains a speculative theory that the evolution of creatures with eyes, such as trilobites, triggered the evolution of more complex forms of life. <P> This stunning and unique evolutionary flowering is termed the Cambrian explosion, taking the name of the geological age in whose early part it occurred. But it was not as rapid as an explosion: the changes seems to have happened in a range of about 30 million years, and some stages took 5 to 10 million years. It's important to remember that what we call the fossil record is only the available fossil record. The Cambrian Explosion: For most of the nearly 4 billion years that life has existed on Earth, evolution produced little beyond bacteria, plankton, and multi-celled algae. But beginning about 600 million years ago in the Precambrian, the fossil record speaks of more rapid change. <P> Life 'explodes'. The Cambrian explosion, or less commonly Cambrian radiation, was the relatively short evolutionary event, beginning around 542 million years ago in the Cambrian Period, during which most major animal phyla appeared, as indicated by the fossil record.

The Cambrian explosion has generated extensive scientific debate. The seemingly rapid appearance of fossils in the “Primordial Strata” was noted as early as the 1840s, and in 1859 Charles Darwin discussed it as one of the main objections that could be made against the theory of evolution by natural selection. <P> The Cambrian Explosion. Around 530 million years ago, a wide variety of animals burst onto the evolutionary scene in an event known as the Cambrian explosion. In perhaps as few as 10 million years, marine animals evolved most of the basic body forms that we observe in modern groups. The term explosion may be a bit of a misnomer. Cambrian life did not evolve in the blink of an eye. The Cambrian was preceded by many millions of years of evolution, and many of the animal phyla actually diverged during the Precambrian. The animals of the Cambrian did not appear out of thin air. <P> From about 570 to 530 million years ago, an evolutionary burst of life forms occurred, often referred to as the Cambrian Explosion.. This marks an important point in the history of life on earth, as most of the major lineages of animals got their starts during the Cambrian Period and have been evolving ever since. <P> The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on Earth; it is the time when most of the major groups of animals first appear in the fossil record. This event is sometimes called the Cambrian Explosion, because of the relatively short time over which this diversity of forms appears.

what is the incubation period for bacterial meningitis
|
<P> Meningococcal meningitis is a bacterial form of meningitis, a serious infection of the meninges that affects the brain membrane. It can cause severe brain damage and is fatal in 50% of cases if untreated. 1 Meningococcal meningitis is a bacterial form of meningitis, a serious infection of the thin lining that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. <P> The first step in the diagnosis of meningitis is by culture and analysis of the spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, CSF). Spinal fluid is obtained by inserting a needle into the meninges of the spinal cord. CSF analysis helps determine if the causative organism is a bacteria, virus, mycobaterium or otherwise. Incubation Period. The incubation period depends on the causative agent. For example the incubation period of meningococcal meningitis is 2-10 days while the incubation for hemophilus meningitis is much shorter ranging from 2-4 days. However the range of incubation for most organisms causing meningitis is 2 days to 2 weeks <P> The incubation period for meningitis can vary between 2 to 14 days. Children under the age of five face a high risk of contracting meningitis-related infections. The spinal cord is normally enclosed within membranes called meninges, which protect and cushion long nerves. ZipLine. Post 2. @alisha-- The incubation period for viral and bacterial meningitis is similar. It's usually about ten days for both but it can range anywhere from two days to two weeks depending on the cause of the meningitis and the individual. There is also fungal meningitis, but fungal meningitis is different <P> Bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening disease that comes on quickly. Having knowledge about its causes, symptoms, incubation period and treatment methods will be helpful to you. Advertisement. The human brain and the spinal cord are covered with protective membranes known as meninges. The inflammation of these meninges by bacteria or virus is known as meningitis. Depending on the cause, meningitis is divided into two types: bacterial meningitis and viral meningitis. An Overview on Bacterial Meningitis. Among the two types, bacterial infection is more serious and fatal. <P> The meningitis incubation period depends on the causative organism behind the meningitis, but usually ranges between two and 14 days. During the incubation period, the patient is typically not contagious. The classic trio of symptoms indicative of meningitis are headache, stiff neck, and a high fever. ZipLine. Post 2. @alisha-- The incubation period for viral and bacterial meningitis is similar. It's usually about ten days for both but it can range anywhere from two days to two weeks depending on the cause of the meningitis and the individual. There is also fungal meningitis, but fungal meningitis is different <P> What is the incubation period for meningitis? The incubation period for bacterial meningitis, the most serious types of meningitis, is about three to five days after initial contact with the microbe. However, in some individuals, bacterial meningitis symptoms can occur as rapidly as 24 hours. For viral meningitis, the incubation period can range widely from only a few days to a few weeks. Patients who get meningitis usually have symptoms of headache, fever, and a stiff neck. <P> Meningitis is infection and inflamation of the meninges (the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord). Meningitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Incubation Period. The incubation period depends on the causative agent.

tests in acute pancreatitis

<P> Diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is confirmed by medical history, physical examination, and typically a blood test (amylase or lipase) for digestive enzymes of the pancreas. <P> Acute Pancreatitis: Tests. An irritation of the pancreas that can cause it to stop working. It is most often caused by gallstones or alcohol abuse. PubMed Health Glossary. (Source: NIH-National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases). Part of: Acute Pancreatitis. After the person's condition improves, the levels usually return to normal. Diagnosing acute pancreatitis is often difficult because of the deep location of the pancreas. The doctor will likely order one or more of the following tests: 1 Abdominal ultrasound. 2 Sound waves are sent toward the pancreas through a handheld device that a technician glides over the abdomen <P> Tests and procedures used to diagnose pancreatitis include: 1 Blood tests to look for elevated levels of pancreatic enzymes. 2 Stool tests in chronic pancreatitis to measure levels of fat that could suggest your digestive system isn't absorbing nutrients adequately. 1 Stool tests in chronic pancreatitis to measure levels of fat that could suggest your digestive system isn't absorbing nutrients adequately. 2 Computerized tomography (CT) scan to look for gallstones and assess the extent of pancreas inflammation. <P> Once a working diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is reached, laboratory tests are obtained to support the clinical impression. In addition to confirming the diagnosis, laboratory tests are helpful in defining an etiology and looking for complications. Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels can be checked to evaluate for autoimmune pancreatitis. However, this test is not specific, because IgG4 levels can be elevated in as many as 10% of patients with acute pancreatitis who do not have <P> 1 Blood tests to look for elevated levels of pancreatic enzymes. 2 Stool tests in chronic pancreatitis to measure levels of fat that could suggest your digestive system isn't absorbing nutrients adequately. 3 Computerized tomography (CT) scan to look for gallstones and assess the extent of pancreas inflammation. 1 Stool tests in chronic pancreatitis to measure levels of fat that could suggest your digestive system isn't absorbing nutrients adequately. 2 <P> Chronic Pancreatitis Testing and Diagnosis. Chronic pancreatitis is best diagnosed with tests that can evaluate the structure of the pancreas via radiography (x-ray exams)—blood tests are generally not helpful for making the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. As with acute pancreatitis, a doctor will conduct a thorough medical history and physical examination. <P> If your doctor thinks you have pancreatitis, he or she will ask questions about your medical history and do a physical exam along with lab and imaging tests. Two blood tests that measure enzymes are used to diagnose an attack of pancreatitis. These tests are: 1 Serum amylase. 2 An increase of amylase in the blood usually indicates pancreatitis. 3 Serum lipase. 4 Sudden (acute) pancreatitis almost always raises the level of lipase in the blood <P> In most cases, acute pancreatitis is caused by gallstones or heavy alcohol use. Other causes include medications, infections, trauma, metabolic disorders, and surgery. In up to 15% of people with acute pancreatitis, the cause is unknown. In about 70% of people, chronic pancreatitis is caused by long-time alcohol use. <P> More about the tests used for both types of pancreatitis: 1 Amylase is the pancreatic and salivary gland enzyme responsible for digesting carbohydrates. 2 The level will increase 2 to 12 hours after the beginning of symptoms of acute pancreatitis and peaks at 12 to 72 hours afterward. Tests that may be used to check for complications of acute pancreatitis include: 1 Complete blood count (including white blood cell count). 2 Comprehensive metabolic panel (including bilirubin, liver enzymes).

what does language mean media

<P> Social media has created it’s own language. In this article and handy infographic I have tried to remove the mystery out of some of the common social media language. In this article you will find a complete social media dictionary. <P> Dominant: When a text is read by the audience in a way that is intended by the creators of the text. Flak: An organized attempt to influence media content, which can take the form of letters, phone calls, petitions, lawsuits and legislation. Genre: A category of media texts characterized by a particular style, form or content. Hardware: The physical equipment used to produce, distribute and exhibit media texts. Access: The ability of media consumers to produce their own texts and to have those texts acknowledged by the agenda setting media. Also, the ability of media consumers to respond to the dominant media. Agenda-setting: The ability of the media to tell people what and whom to talk and think about. <P> The Afrikaans media, to me, means that I have a second soul, a second way of looking at life, at people through another window. I often get a more nuanced sense of the world as I discover layers of narratives, stories and ideas, which do not necessarily always reveal themselves in a monolingual English environment. Afrikaans is my mother tongue and Afrikaans media addresses me in the language in which I grew up, dream and swear. It is my default setting. I believe it means the same to our Afrikaans readers. Most of them understand English and can also read, write and speak it. <P> Afrikaans media means so many different thing to different people. Melina Meletakos asks some media-savvy Afrikaners what they think. Some say Afrikaans is a dying language but not if you’re asking Afrikaners.

Most of them understand English and can also read, write and speak it. <P> The pound sign or hashtag is visually represented by the symbol ‘ # ’, and by placing the symbol in front of a word (or series of words) on a social network, it will turn that word into a metadata tag. Others use hashtags on other Social Media platforms such as Facebook to emphasise a point or to be ironically humorous, but this is technically pointless as the metadata tag function does not work on these other platforms. <P> Hashtags have also crossed over into other media, such as Text and e-mail language, again solely for humourous or slang purposes. A popular one is #Fail, which is used to indicate in derogatory fashion a public event, statement or action. Others use hashtags on other Social Media platforms such as Facebook to emphasise a point or to be ironically humorous, but this is technically pointless as the metadata tag function does not work on these other platforms. <P> For other uses, see Median. The Median language (also Medean or Medic) was the language of the Medes. It is an Old Iranian language and classified as belonging to the Northwestern Iranian subfamily, which includes many other languages such as Azari, Zazaki, Gorani, Gilaki, Mazandarani, Kurdish, and Baluchi. Median is only attested by numerous loanwords in Old Persian. Nothing is known of its grammar, but it shares important phonological isoglosses with Avestan, rather than Old Persian.. Under the Median rule [...] Median must to some extent have been the official Iranian language in western Iran. No documents dating to Median times have been preserved, and it is not known what script these texts might have been in <P> Any specialized form of discourse has its own unique language and media literacy is no exception. Even experienced media teachers are often bewildered by the seemingly interchangeable terminology used by writers and speakers in the field. Do note that many of these terms have much wider meanings than are suggested here.

<P> 1 You feel pain in your kidneys after eating certain foods (or processed “phoods”). 2 You’re experiencing skin problems like eczema, acne or rashes. 3 You have a hormonal imbalance or feel extra moody. 4 You’ve had kidney stones in the past. 5 You’re experiencing weight gain and bloating. <P> Talk to your renal dietitian about incorporating these top 15 foods for a kidney diet into your healthy eating plan. Keep in mind that these foods are healthy for everyone—including family members and friends who do not have kidney disease or are not on dialysis. However, foods that contain antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and protect the body. Many of the foods that protect against oxidation are included in the kidney diet and make excellent choices for dialysis patients or people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) . <P> Print. Share. Your kidneys provide vital service to your body — they filter waste from your blood and send it to your bladder. They also regulate blood pressure, manage water reabsorption, control the acidity in the body, and balance electrolyte levels. Considering their importance, eating a diet to promote kidney health could be one of the best things you can do. The following seven foods will support your kidneys and make their job easier. To reduce kidney stone pain-remove the beans from the pods and in a slow cooker, boil the pods in purified water for 6 hours. Once finished, strain the liquid and let it cool before drinking. <P> The other important thing to note is that if your kidney function has deteriorated too far, then your kidneys will not be able to produce enough active vitamin D anyway, making sunshine all the more necessary. Low levels have been linked to diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, and heart disease. So go to your fruit bowl right now, and see what you can start juicing. Here are some of the best vegetables and fruits for your kidney function: watermelon, raspberry, celery, parsley, cucumber, carrot, strawberries, peach, and beetroot. <P> Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, which promote kidney and liver health. Your kidneys and liver are responsible for a variety of functions, but both organs work as as filters that remove toxins and waste products from your body. Diets high in preservatives, chemicals, toxins, refined sugar, hydrogenated fats or protein can damage your kidneys and liver, leading to dysfunction and disease. Produce rich in these potent nutrients include citrus fruits, most berries, dark-colored grapes, apples, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, spinach and asparagus, the “American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide” notes. Vitamin C also helps to dissolve calcium buildup in the kidneys. <P> Kidney stones can develop when minerals build up in your urine. However, eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and low in salt or oxalate-rich food can help prevent mineral build up. Additionally, drinking lots of water throughout the day, especially if you exercise frequently, is important for kidney health. Staying hydrated is necessary for prevention and treatment. Keeping your urine diluted is important for keeping your kidneys healthy. Water is the best choice, but you can also drink fruit juices, ginger ale or tea. If your urine is light colored after you go to the bathroom, you are getting enough fluid. <P> Your kidneys are a prime detox organ in your body. Here’s how to take care of them best and some foods for those with kidney disease or concerns. Your kidneys are a prime detox organ in your body. Here’s how to take care of them best and some foods for those with kidney disease or concerns. If you don’t have kidney disease and just want to eat a healthy diet for your kidneys, be sure to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds to get a balance of both potassium-rich and moderate-potassium containing foods. <P> In this way your kidneys, not only filter waste from the blood, balance fluids and regulate acid-alkaline balance (pH) in the body, they also control your sexual and reproductive functions and are a prime source of sexual vitality. <P> Kidneys. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, at the small of the back. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood and help balance water, salt, and mineral levels in the blood. Wastes filtered out of the blood are carried out of the body as urine. Urine flows through tubes (ureters) to the bladder, where it is stored until a person is ready to urinate. The waste and urine then leave the bladder and exit the body through a tube called the urethra.

what is a primary brain tumor
|
<P> Primary Brain Tumors. Tumors that originate within brain tissue are known as primary brain tumors. Primary brain tumors are classified by the type of tissue in which they arise. The most common brain tumors are gliomas, which begin in the glial (supportive) tissue. There are several types of gliomas, including the following: 1 Astrocytomas arise from small, star-shaped cells called astrocytes. <P> About 80% of malignant primary brain tumors are known collectively as gliomas. Gliomas are not a specific type of cancer but are a term used to describe tumors that originate in glial cells. Glial cells are the building-block cells of the connective, or supportive, tissue in the central nervous system. <P> Primary brain tumors are those that arise within the brain itself, unlike metastatic tumors that travel to the brain from a distant site. The most common types of primary brain tumors in adults are gliomas, glioblastomas, and lymphomas. <P> A brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells in the tissues of the brain. Brain tumors can be benign, with no cancer cells, or malignant, with cancer cells that grow quickly. Some are primary brain tumors, which start in the brain. Others are metastatic, and they start somewhere else in the body and move to <P> There are two types of brain tumors, primary and secondary. Primary brain tumors grow from cells that are part of the central nervous system. Primary brain tumors may be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Secondary brain tumors are cancerous tumors that arise from cancer cells that travel from other parts of the body and invade the brain. <P> Beyond these two general classifications, there are many types of primary brain tumors that are named according to the type of cells or the part of the brain in which they originate. For example, most primary brain tumors begin in glial cells. This type of tumor is called a glioma.

what is moiety
|
<P> In organic chemistry moiety /ˈmɔɪəti/ is a term used for part of a molecule. Larger moieties are often functional groups. A functional group is a moiety that participates in similar chemical reactions in most molecules that contain it. In turn the parts of the group are termed moieties. For example, methyl para-hydroxybenzoate contains a phenol functional group within the acyl moiety, which in turn is part of the paraben moiety. <P> Moiety may refer to: 1 Moiety (chemistry) , a part or functional group of a molecule. 2 Moiety (kinship) , either of two groups into which a society is divided. 3 An Australian Aboriginal kinship group. <P> Moiety.

Thus the sex gap in life expectancy at birth in a cohort has decreases from 6.8 years for births in 1900 to 4.2 years for births in 2001. <P> That is, life expectancy at a particular age for a specific year is based on the death rates for that and all higher ages that were, or are projected to be, experienced in that specific year. Life expectancy at age 0 for males increased 27.7 years from 46.4 years in 1900 to 74.1 years in 2001. During the same period, life expectancy at age 0 for females increased 26.0 years from 58.3 years to 84.3 years. Thus the sex gap in life expectancy at birth in a cohort has decreases from 6.8 years for births in 1900 to 4.2 years for births in 2001. <P> 1 While a 1-year difference in life expectancy should be considered sizeable, we found that in 2008 white males with 16+ years of education now live 14.2 years longer than black men with less than 12 years of education. 2 The difference is 10.3 years for women. 1 Age categories: life expectancy at birth, 20, 25, 40, 60, 65, 80. 2 Life expectancy should be interpreted as expected remaining years of life. 3 Deaths were drawn from Multiple Cause of Death data files from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) – this includes all deaths recorded among U.S. residents. <P> Black males born in 2008 could expect to live 70.2 years, 6.6 years fewer than Black females (76.8 years). The difference between White males and females was 4.9 years, with life expectancies at birth of 75.7 and 80.6 years, respectively. White females could expect to live 3.8 years longer than Black females. Life Expectancy. The overall life expectancy of a baby born in 2008 was 77.8 years; this varied, however, by sex and race. A baby girl born in the United States in 2008 could expect to live 80.3 years, 5.0 years longer than a baby boy, whose life expectancy would be 75.3 years. <P> Life expectancy. In 1901 life expectancy was 45 years for men and 49 years for women. By 2012 this had increased to 79.2 years for men and 83.3 years for women (1). This is expected to rise further by 2032 to 83.3 years (an increase of 4.1 years) for men and to 86.8 years (an increase of 3.8 years) for women. <P> Life expectancy at 65 years for the total population was 19.3, 0.1 year higher than in 2011. Life expectancy at 65 years was 20.5 years for females and 17.9 years for males. The difference in life expectancy at 65 years between females and males increased 0.1 year from 2.5 years in 2011 to 2.6 years in 2012. 1 Life expectancy at birth for the U.S. population reached a record high of 78.8 years in 2012. 2 The age-adjusted death rate for the United States decreased 1.1% from 2011 to 2012 to a record low of 732.8 per 100,000 standard population. 3 The 10 leading causes of death in 2012 remained the same as in 2011. <P> Figure 3b shows life expectancy at age 65, by sex and year of birth, based on cohort life tables. Life expectancy at age 65 for males is projected to increase from 13.5 years for males born in 1900 to 20.5 years for males born in 2001. During the same period, life expectancy at age 0 for females increased 26.0 years from 58.3 years to 84.3 years. Thus the sex gap in life expectancy at birth in a cohort has decreases from 6.8 years for births in 1900 to 4.2 years for births in 2001. <P> This is referred to as the “maximum life span,” which is the maximum number of years that any human is known to have lived for. The life expectancy in Swaziland is 49.4 years, while in Japan it is 82.6 years. However, the figure for Japan may be slightly increased due to many infant deaths being counted as stillbirths. Life expectancy varies by geographical area and by era. In the Bronze age, for example, life expectancy was 26 years, while in 2010, it was 67 years. In mathematical terms, life expectancy refers to the expected number of years remaining for an individual at any given age. <P> By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD.

what does the pegasus represent
|
<P> In Greek mythology, Pegasus signifies strength, flight and inspiration. He is also associated with the springs, muses, and lightning. During the middle ages, Pegasus was seen as a symbol of fame and wisdom. During the renaissance, Pegasus became an important source of inspiration to poets and artists. Pegasus became a popular subject of ancient Greek paintings, pottery and sculpture. Pegasus is known as “The Thundering Horse of Jove” as he brought thunder and lightning from Mt. Olympus as instructed by Zeus (the king of Gods). Pegasus secured a place as a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere of the sky due to his relentless service to Zeus. <P> Pegasus [BACK TO TOP]. Meaning: (Greek mythology) the immortal winged horse that sprang from the blood of the slain Medusa; was tamed by Bellerophon with the help of a bridle given him by Athena; as the flying horse of the Muses it is a symbol of highflying imagination. Classified under: <P> Pegasus. The constellation Pegasus represents the white, winged horse of Greek mythology. This beautiful figure can be seen high in the sky starting near the end of summer and continuing through autumn if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. <P> Pegasus (Pegasos) in Greek Mythology is the winged horse born when the Greek hero Perseus cut off the Gorgon Medusa's head. Pegasus caused Hippocrene, the fountain of the Muses on Mount Helicon, to well forth with a stroke of his hoof. Pegasus, by birth, is the child of Medusa and Neptune, symbols of 'wisdom' and 'emotion,' respectively, which shows the dichotomy of his nature. As in the story, Bellerophon attempted to fly to Olympus (overreach his potential). <P> Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Pegasus is a symbol of knowledge, glory, and inspiration. Since ancient times, Pegasus has been a symbol of power and speed as well as imagination. The symbol of Pegasus was mostly used on cars and was advertised as “the spirit of flying horsepower”. The story of Pegasus reflects the story of Mobil. In modern times Pegasus is seen virtually everywhere. The winged horse has come to be a symbol of immortality and the protector of the spirit, the guardian of the soul. The image of Pegasus is used in logo's and advertising everywhere tosymbolize, strength, purity and justice. <P> In Greek mythology, Pegasus was a winged horse sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. The plural of Pegasus is Pegasi. Pegasi are consid … ered different in many cultures and also myths and legends. <P> Pegasus is one of the best known mythological creatures in Greek mythology.

what kind of medicine is made from seahorses
|
<P> Population data for most of the world’s 35 seahorse species is sparse. However, worldwide coastal habitat depletion, pollution, and rampant harvesting, mainly for use in Asian traditional medicine, have made several species vulnerable to extinction. <P> Diseases Treated by the Use of Seahorses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Seahorses in Traditional Chinese Medicine are used to treat various types of human diseases. The diseases in which seahorses are usually employed for the treatment under Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are as follows, viz. –. <P> Size relative to a tea cup: Seahorses are truly unique, and not just because of their unusual equine shape. Unlike most other fish, they are monogamous and mate for life. Rarer still, they are among the only animal species on Earth in which the male bears the unborn young. <P> Seahorses are used in the treatment of a wide range of health problems under the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is a complementary and alternative system of medicine (CAM). You can refer to my article – “ The Basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ” to learn the fundamentals of TCM. <P> With a number of our friends around the world we are appealing to the people of China to take a lead and work in partnership with us to find alternatives to the exploitation of wild seahorses and other marine and terrestrial creatures. <P> Seahorses are believed to help with a person's kidney's in Chinese medicine. It is also considered to be an aphrodisiac. They can be made into a tonic or tea with other herbs or they can be ground into powder and taken as a capsule or in powder form. <P> HELP US TO HELP THEM. Every year a staggering 150 MILLION (plus) seahorses are used in the Traditional Medicine Trade, this is just not sustainable, they could be extinct in the wild within the next 20 to 30 years, unless we urgently address the problems facing them. <P> Due to the small size and vulnerability of the seahorse, the seahorse has numerous predators within it's natural environment. Crustaceans such as crabs, fish and rays are all common predators of the seahorse along with humans who harvest the seahorse for use in medicine.

maximum aperture definition
|
<P> Maximum Aperture (Minimum f-number). The maximum diameter of the lens opening is referred to as its maximum aperture or minimum f-number. The minimum f-number is the smallest f-number that can be selected with the lens. The maximum aperture varies from lens to lens and is included in the lens model name. <P> Definition of Aperture. Aperture is essentially the amount of light allowed in to expose either the film or the image sensor. This is controlled by a part of the camera call the diaphragm. The opening in the diaphragm is called the f-stop. <P> Tweet. The maximum aperture of the lens you use can limit the types of photos you are able to take with your digital SLR camera. Not all lenses are created equal: some can open up much wider than others and the ones that open up wider can let a lot more light through onto the sensor. <P> For example, lens A might have a maximum aperture of f/2.8 while lens B will have a maximum aperture of f/4. While both lenses can be set to an aperture of f/8 (narrower than the maximum setting) the f/4 lens cannot be opened up to f/2.8. Bottom line: a lens with a wider maximum aperture lets in more light. <P> noun. The aperture of a lens. The aperture of a lens. The definition of an aperture is a crevice, hole, or separation. An example of an aperture is the opening in a camera lense. 1 an opening; hole; gap. 2 the opening, or the diameter of the opening, in a camera, telescope, etc. 3 through which light passes into the lens.

what muscles do trunk lateral flexion
|
<P> Lateral flexion usually refers to the spine, or vertebral column. You can laterally flex your head, neck, or your torso (back). answer Lateral direction is away from the midline of the body (an imaginary line from the middle of your node to your belly button). Answer Lateral flexion of the trunk involves moving the shoulders left or right towards the hips, therefore it is exercised in the frontal or coronal plane of mot … ion. + 17 others found this useful. <P> On the back of the body, the trunk muscles are built in layers, and as a group they help stabilise the trunk and protect to the spinal cord. They hold the body upright while extending and rotating the neck and trunk. The many muscles throughout the back are named because of the actions they perform… like the Erector Spinae for spinal extension and rotators for spinal rotation. <P> Trunk rotation refers to the rotary movement of the spine on the transverse plane. The human spine is composed of seven cervical vertebrae (neck), 12 thoracic vertebrae (chest), five lumbar vertebrae (lower back), the sacrum (lower back), and the coccyx (tailbone). Seated trunk rotations. Sit on the floor with your legs bent in front of you. Hold a medicine ball or a light dumbbell with both hands, keeping it close to the chest. Engage your abdominals, and rotate the upper-body to one side, keeping your back straight. Come back to center and repeat to the other side. <P> Seated Machine Crunches. The lateral external oblique muscles located on either side of your trunk are used in the seated machine crunch. The machine, typically found in gyms, also allows you to adjust the amount of weight and therefore, resistance against your trunk muscles. Exercises that focus on strengthening and gradually stretching the lateral muscles of the trunk can help improve mobility. <P> Increased Range of Motion. Lateral flexion is helpful in increasing the range of motion of the spine. Do the movements in a slow, deliberate manner and alternate from side to side for the most effect. You can perform lateral flexion standing, seated or lying on the floor. Photo Credit Robert Daly/OJO Images/Getty Images. When you talk about core training, the phrase lateral flexion doesn't roll off your tongue; however, it is an essential component of building a strong trunk that can help you execute athletic and daily activities with ease, finesse and less risk of injury. <P> The muscles involved in trunk rotation movements are part of the core structure of the body. Our core is composed of muscles of the back, abdomen, hips, and pelvic floor, which are responsible for body stabilization during movement and the maintenance of posture and body alignment. Seated trunk rotations. Sit on the floor with your legs bent in front of you. Hold a medicine ball or a light dumbbell with both hands, keeping it close to the chest. Engage your abdominals, and rotate the upper-body to one side, keeping your back straight. Come back to center and repeat to the other side. <P> Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction. For example, when standing up, the knees are extended. <P> Muscles. Lateral flexion involves side bending away from the midline of the body, called abduction, and then straightening back to the center, called adduction. Along with rotation, forward flexion and extension, it is one of the four movements possible by the spine. Photo Credit Robert Daly/OJO Images/Getty Images. When you talk about core training, the phrase lateral flexion doesn't roll off your tongue; however, it is an essential component of building a strong trunk that can help you execute athletic and daily activities with ease, finesse and less risk of injury. <P> Lateral flexion happens at the trunk when you pull your shoulder toward the side of your thigh, decreasing the angle between your shoulder and your thigh. If you contract the right side of your rectus abdominis and your right external and internal obliques, then you flex to the right. If you contract the left side of your rectus abdominis and your left external and internal obliques, then you flex to the left. <P> The muscles that laterally flex your trunk are the same as those that flex it forward, just in different combinations. If you contract the right side of your rectus abdominis and your right external and internal obliques, then you flex to the right. If you contract the left side of your rectus abdominis and your left external and internal obliques, then you flex to the left.

why is tropospheric ozone harmful
|
<P> 1 Tropospheric ozone is often called bad ozone because it can damage living tissue and break down certain materials. 2 Concentrations of ozone are not uniform in the troposphere. 3 Longer exposure to ozone will increase the negative effects. The general concepts found in this section include the following: 1 Ozone is a naturally occurring gas found in the troposphere and other parts of the atmosphere. 2 <P> Ozone (O 3) is a constituent of the troposphere (it is also an important constituent of some regions of the stratosphere commonly known as the ozone layer). The troposphere extends from the Earth 's surface to between 12 and 20 kilometers above sea level and consists of many layers. Ozone is more concentrated above the mixing layer, or ground layer. Ground-level ozone, though less concentrated than ozone aloft, is more of a problem because of its health effects. <P> 1 Ozone is a naturally occurring gas found in the troposphere and other parts of the atmosphere. 2 Tropospheric ozone is often called bad ozone because it can damage living tissue and break down certain materials. 3 Concentrations of ozone are not uniform in the troposphere. The general concepts found in this section include the following: 1 <P> Good Ozone, Bad Ozone Ozone: Good up high, bad nearby. The atmosphere of the Earth is divided into layers. Each layer is a little different. Stratospheric ozone is found in the stratosphere, a layer of air way up in the atmosphere. The stratosphere is between 8 and 30 miles above the ground-too far away for you to breathe any of its air! The ozone in this layer of air protects plants, animals, and us by blocking the most harmful rays of the sun. Tropospheric ozone, (ground-level ozone) is found in the troposphere, which is the layer of air closest to the Earth's surface. The troposphere is the air from the ground to about 8 miles up into the atmosphere-it's the air we breathe. <P> Ozone occurs in two layers of the atmosphere. The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. Here, ground-level or bad ozone is an air pollutant that is harmful to breathe and it damages crops, trees and other vegetation. It is a main ingredient of urban smog. The troposphere generally extends to a level about 6 miles up, where it meets the second layer, the strat <P> In the troposphere, the ground-level or bad ozone is an air pollutant that damages human health, vegetation, and many common materials. It is a key ingredient of urban smog. In the stratosphere, we find the good ozone that protects life on earth from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays. Ozone is found in two different layers of the atmosphere-the troposphere and the stratosphere. The stratospheric ozone, or good ozone, protects life on earth from harmful effects of the sun's UV rays. <P> Tropospheric ozone is a greenhouse gas and initiates the chemical removal of methane and other hydrocarbons from the atmosphere. Thus, its concentration affects how long these compounds remain in the air. The troposphere extends from the Earth 's surface to between 12 and 20 kilometers above sea level and consists of many layers. Ozone is more concentrated above the mixing layer, or ground layer.

In fact, stratospheric ozone is, too, but we don't have to breathe it, so it's considered good.. Tropospheric and stratospheric are only locations. Ozone, however is a poisonous gas. Human sources of ozone like machinery release it into the troposphere where it creates smog and health problems associated with breathing it, hence the gound level ozone level warnings.
