"text": "Looking at an animal’s teeth can provide a lot of information on how the animal lived. This is particularly useful when the animal is extinct, or no longer exists in the world we live in. Dinosaur teeth can tell you many things about it, such as the type of food that it ate, how it got its food, and how it digested its food (did it chew food, crush or grind food, or just eat it whole?). Teeth are much harder than bone, and so they fossilize more readily. Countless fossilized dinosaur teeth have been uncovered. Some dinosaur species such as Cardiodon, Trachodon and Deinodon are only known to have existed because of their fossilized teeth. By looking at the shape of the dinosaurs teeth we can figure out what they ate when they were alive. Allosaurus had long teeth with sharp edges that were pointed and curved back towards its throat. Even today, every reptile that has this type of teeth is a meat-eater. Reptiles that browse for food, such as the iguana, have low and tiny leaf-shaped teeth used for shredding plants, much like dinosaurs before them did (Stegosaurs, Ankylosaurs and Hypsilophodontids)."

"text": "\"Heterodontosaurus Dinosaurs Ate Plants Despite Having Tall Sharp Teeth Heterodontosaurus are a genus of dinosaurs that lived in the early Jurassic period in South Africa. They are characterized by prominent canine teeth and reach a maximum size of about 3 feet in height (about the size of a big turkey). These small dinosaurs are believed to have opposable fingers which allows them to hold and manipulate their food and other objects. The hand of this dinosaurs have five fingers. Another interesting feature of the dinosaur are its teeth. It had three different types of teeth as opposed to most other dinosaurs which has only one type. It had small teeth at the front of the jaw, a pair of long tusk like teeth in the jaw, and the third are tall and squarish teeth likely used for chewing. The name, Heterodontosaurus means \"\"different toothed lizard\"\". Prior to the current discovery, heterodontosaurus were thought to be omnivores that ate both plants and small animals. New fanged dwarf dinosaur from southern Africa, ate plants The single specimen of the new species was originally chipped out of red rock in southern Africa in the 1960's and discovered in a collection of fossils at Harvard University by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Paul Sereno, paleontologist and professor at the University of Chicago."

"text": "450 Million Years of Sharks Sharks predate insects, mammals and dinosaurs Sharks have swum in the oceans for almost 450 million years. But longevity is only part of the story. That extra few million years of evolution have enabled many shark species to develop some extraordinary abilities as perfect predators. Is 450 million years a long time in evolution? Life is thought to have begun on earth about 3.8 billion years ago. Life on earth began as bacteria and did not advance beyond the one-celled format until around 580 million years ago. The first fish appeared around 510 million years ago. These were armored jawless fishes known as ostracoderms. And then came the sharks either 455 or 425 million years ago—there is some disagreement among paleontologists as to when. Many of us tend to think of dinosaurs as dominating the prehistoric world."

In the early days of paleontology it was common to name a dinosaur only on the basis of teeth. But often these names were put aside because scientists could not tell what dinosaur the tooth belonged to even with a complete skull with teeth for comparison. Despite this, the name Troodon was kept because its tooth was so unusual. But for many years some scientists thought the tooth of Troodon was from a pachycephalosaur. Many scientists believed the original Troodon tooth belonged to a theropod."

The fossil of an upper jawbone that included several teeth was found in a prehistoric cave site, Misliya Cave, in Israel. Stone tools were also recovered at the site. This suggests that modern humans may have been on the move, specifically migrating from Africa, at least 50,000 years earlier than previously believed. It helps to explain previous findings of modern human fossils in other parts of the world, which have been dated 90,000 to 120,000 years ago. This rewrites the timeline of what we know about how Homo sapiens spread. \"\" We now have clear fossil evidence that modern humans moved out of Africa earlier than we previously believed,\"\" Rolf Quam, study coauthor and anthropology professor at Binghamton University, said in an email. \"\" There have been previous suggestions of a possible earlier migration, relying on both archaeological sites and ancient DNA studies, but now we have an actual human fossil that proves it. \"\" Three different dating techniques were used to confirm the fossil's age and classify it as Homo sapien, rather than Neanderthal or some other early human ancestor.

The Spinosaurus is known by many as the “should be” king of dinosaurs with dinosaur enthusiasts all across the planet claiming that this ferocious carnivore rivaled the Tyrannosaurus Rex. This humongous predator may have given the Tyrannosaurus Rex a run for its money, however, due to a lack of specimens of Spinosaurus it is particularly difficult for paleontologists to ever know as much about this spiny dinosaur of the Cretaceous period, as is known about the particularly well known Tyrannosaurus Rex. Spinosaurus: Dino Profile The Spinosaurus roamed the Earth during the late Cretaceous period, some 98 to 95 million years ago. The name Spinosaurus translates to “ spiny lizard ” and refers to the large spined sail that ran down these large dinosaurs back. The Spinosaurus was most certainly a bipedal dinosaur which walked similarly to the Tyrannosaurus Rex due to its smaller arms and larger, more muscular legs. It is thought by some paleontologists that the Spinosaurus would occasionally walk on all fours similar to other dinosaurs who switched from bipedal to quadrupedal locomotion since the Spinosaurus did have longer forearms than many other Theropods. This fact remains in question but for the most part it is believed that the Spinosaurus was a bipedal carnivore."

It has been associated, geologically with the late Jurassic and dated by radiometric dating methods at 150 million years. According to the U. S. National Park Service (Dinosaur National Monument):“ Fossils of Archaeopteryx, a little animal that lived in the middle of dinosaur times, do show traces of feathers, so it has often been called the first bird. But the skeleton of Archaeopteryx looks almost exactly like that of a small meat-eating dinosaur, right down to its tiny sharp teeth. So what was it- -a bird or a dinosaur? Some scientists think that Archaeopteryx was both: a warm-blooded, feathered dinosaur that became the ancestor of the birds.

Jonathan Sarfati speaks to its bird morphology.“ Archaeopteryx had fully-formed flying feathers (including asymmetric vanes and ventral, reinforcing furrows as in modern flying birds), the classical elliptical wings of modern woodland birds, and a large wishbone for attachment of muscles responsible for the down stroke of the wings. Its brain was essentially that of a flying bird, with a large cerebellum and visual cortex."

It was small and fast, and the sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each foot made it a formidable predator. A special bone in its wrist allowed it to swivel its wrist sideways in a flapping motion and to fold its arm against its body like a bird. This motion allowed it to snap its arms forward to grab fleeing prey and is an important part of the flight stroke in modern birds. Credit: Todd Marshall Velociraptor roamed the Earth about 85.8 million to 70.6 million years ago during the end of the Cretaceous Period. In 1924, Henry Fairfield Osborn, then-president of the American Museum of Natural History, named Velociraptor. He bestowed the name on this dinosaur, which is derived from the Latin words \"\"velox\"\" (swift) and \"\"raptor\"\" (robber or plunderer), as an apt description of its agility and carnivorous diet. Earlier that year, Osborn had called the dinosaur Ovoraptor djadochtari in an article in the popular press, but the creature wasn't formally described in the article and the name \"\"Ovoraptor\"\" wasn't mentioned in a scientific journal, making Velociraptor the accepted name. There are two Velociraptor species, V. mongoliensis and V. osmolskae, the second of which was only identified in 2008. A member of the Dromaeosauridae family of small- to medium-sized birdlike dinosaurs, Velociraptor was roughly the size of a small turkey and smaller than others in this family of dinosaurs, which included Deinonychus and Achillobator."

This group of huge carnivores must have tyrannically ruled the land during the last part of the Cretaceous, 85 to 65 million years ago. Short but deep jaws with banana-sized sharp teeth, long hind limbs, small beady eyes, and tiny forelimbs (arms) typify a tyrannosaur. The Tyrannosauridae included such similar animals (in rough order of increasing size) as Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus , Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus , and of course Tyrannosaurus rex. A tremendous skeleton of Tyrannosaurus now stands guard in the Valley Life Sciences Building, which houses the UCMP and the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. Tyrannosaurs belong to the Saurischia, or \"\"reptile-hipped\"\" dinosaurs. Within the Saurischia, tyrannosaurids belong to the group of carnivorous dinosaurs known as theropods . Traditionally, the tyrannosaurs have been included within the Carnosauria . In this classification scheme, carnosaurs represent the largest carnivorous animals to ever walk the land."

In 2006, a specimen of Stegosaurus was announced from Portugal, showing that they were present in Europe as well. [ 1] Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs, along with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Apatosaurus. The name Stegosaurus means \"\"roof-lizard\"\" and is derived from the Greek stegos/ στέγος-, (\"\"roof\"\") and sauros/ σαῦρος, (\"\"lizard\"\"). [ 2] At least three species have been identified in the upper Morrison Formation and are known from the remains of about 80 individuals. They lived some 150 to 145 million years ago, in an environment and time dominated by the giant sauropods Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, and Apatosaurus . A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily arched back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. Its array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism, as well as having display and thermoregulatory (heat control) functions. Stegosaurus was the largest of all the stegosaurians (bigger than genera such as Kentrosaurus and Huayangosaurus) and, although roughly bus-sized, it nonetheless shared many anatomical features (including the tail spines and plates) with the other stegosaurian genera."

The most well-known and publicized period of the three dinosaur times is the Jurassic. Why is this so? Why Is The Jurassic Period so Famous? Well, the Jurassic period, which ran from 199 million years ago to 145 million years ago, saw the large dinosaurs that we are so familiar with.

For a long time, Tyrannosaurus rex — \"\"king of the dinosaurs\"\" — was thought to be the largest carnivorous dinosaur. Today, Giganotosaurus is believed to have been slightly larger than T. rex, though even Giganotosaurus ranks behind Spinosaurus in size among the meat-eating dinosaurs.

By the Late Cretaceous, those groups had mainly been replaced by the titanosaurs, which had a near-global distribution.

Recent evidence suggests the beast may have been a birdlike dinosaur. Credit: Humboldt Museum für Naturkunde Berlin Paleontologists view Archaeopteryx as a transitional fossil between dinosaurs and modern birds. With its blend of avian and reptilian features, it was long viewed as the earliest known bird. Discovered in 1860 in Germany, it's sometimes referred to as Urvogel, the German word for \"\"original bird\"\" or \"\"first bird.\"\" Recent discoveries, however, have displaced Archaeopteryx from its lofty title. Archaeopteryx is a combination of two ancient Greek words: archaīos, meaning \"\"ancient,\"\" and ptéryx, meaning \"\"feather\"\" or \"\"wing.\"\" There are two species of Archaeopteryx: A. lithographica and A. siemensii. Archaeopteryx lived around 150 million years ago — during the early Tithonian stage in the late Jurassic Period — in what is now Bavaria, southern Germany.

"text": "The largest “four-winged” dinosaur known has been found, and this predator has the longest feathers yet outside of birds, researchers say. This new finding yields insights on how dinosaurs may have flown, the scientists added. The 125-million-year-old feathered dinosaur, named Changyuraptor yangi, sported feathers over its body, including its arms and legs, which made it look as if it had two pairs of wings. Its fossil was unearthed in 2012 in Liaoning province in northeastern China, which has been the center of a surge of discoveries of feathered dinosaurs over the last decade. “The vast majority of feathered dinosaurs in Liaoning are collected by farmers who live there,” said study author Luis Chiappe, a paleontologist and director of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The newfound dinosaur is a microraptorine, a group of predatory, feathered dinosaurs related to Velociraptor and other well-known raptor dinosaurs. Analysis of the microscopic structure of this fossil’s bones reveal it was a fully grown adult — a younger specimen’s bones would have signs they were still developing. “Microraptorines are thought to be very close cousins of birds, sharing a common raptor ancestor,” Chiappe told Live Science. “ It’s not known yet whether a four-wing body is something unique to microraptorines, or something the common ancestor of birds and microraptorines had, that was later lost in the bird lineage.” [ Image Gallery: Dinosaur Fossils]The researchers estimate 4-foot-long (1.2 meter) Changyuraptor weighed about 9 lbs.

Since dinosaur fossils are usually found embedded in rock, paleontologists associate dinosaurs with the geologic period in which they lived—for example, \"\"the sauropods of the late Jurassic. \"\" To put these geologic periods in the proper context, bear in mind that the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous don't cover all of prehistory, not by a long shot. First came the Precambrian period, which stretched from the earth’s formation to about 542 million years ago. The development of multicellular life ushered in the Paleozoic Era (542–250 million years ago), which embraced shorter geologic periods including (in order) the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods.

While the large armored plates of the Stegosaurus make it more recognizable to amateur dinosaur lovers they also make it much easier for paleontologists to identify other Stegosaurids as well. The Stegosaurus, unlike some other varieties of dinosaurs, did not live through the small mass extinction which occurred at the end of the Jurassic period and as a result, never lived to see low level grasses or the humongous Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It has a classic dinosaur shape and scientists around the world have been able to study it in detail thanks to the large number of Diplodocus fossils found over the years. Check out more interesting information about the Diplodocus and enjoying learning about all kinds of amazing dinosaurs!The name Diplodocus comes from the Greek language and means ‘double beam’, this refers to strangely shaped bones found in the Diplodocus tail. The Diplodocus is a well known dinosaur that is popular in films, documentaries, as toy figurines and has been featured in a large number of museum exhibitions around the world. A large amount of fossil remains have made it easier for scientists to study the Diplodocus compared to many other dinosaurs. Diplodocus lived in an area that is now western North America at the end of the Jurassic Period, around 150 million years ago. Although longer dinosaurs have since been discovered, Diplodocus was thought to be the longest for many years. Research suggests the Diplodocus could have been as long as 35m (115ft) and around 10 to 15 tons in weight. Diplodocus had a long tail which contained around 80 vertebrae."

Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous Period, 68 to 66 million years ago. [ 2] It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids, [3] and among the last non- avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction. Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail."

There are many ways to describe the sensation obtained with winning, but there are even more ways, some even using expletives to describe losing… Nobody likes to lose. There is little or no luck involved and you and you alone are responsible for your own fate. To improve our level of Xiangqi, we must study it systematically. References will be made to International Chess to make things clearer. Anatomy can be defined simply as the discipline or study of bodily parts. If we were to dissect the game of Xiangqi or International Chess, we would find that it consists of the opening, the middle game and the end-games. Most games last till the endgame. Unless your opponent is much stronger or you were drunk or high or whatever when playing, seldom does the game end in the opening or mid-game. Opening game: The opening in Xiangqi is basically the first 10-15 moves by one person, that is 20-30 moves in total."

Ten Tips To Winning Chess Ten Tips To Winning Chess February 4, 2009Printable copy in .pdf formatby International Grandmaster Arthur Bisguier Getting Started Chess is a game of strategy and tactics. Each player commands an army of 16 chessmen --- pawns and other pieces (the king, queen, bishops, knights, and rooks). A well-played chess game has three stages. In the opening, the players bring out their forces in preparation for combat. The middlegame begins as the players maneuver for position and carry out attacks and counterattacks. The final stage is the endgame when, with fewer pawns and pieces left on the board, it is safer for the kings to come out and join the final battle. As play proceeds, each player will capture some of the opponent's men; often, the capturing pieces are immediately recaptured. As long as the piece a player gives up is generally equal to the piece he gets in return, we say the players are exchanging. If you unintentionally place a piece where it can be captured without getting a piece of equal value in return, we say that you put that piece en prise. ("

Flag How many possible moves in total can be played in chess? Answer by Cuindless Confidence votes 199From the starting position there are 20 possible moves (2 for each of 8 pawns and 2 for each knight). From there the number of permutations increases dramatically. Information theorist Claude Shannon estimated the total number of positions at 10^43, and with there being an average of 35 moves for each side per position, this makes the game tree in the order of 10^123. This is only positions, though. Since completely different potential move orders can create the same position, this makes the number of iterations much higher. After 1 (2 ply) move by each side, the number is 400 possible move combinations (20 * 20 400). After just 4 moves (8 ply), the number is over 197,000. At 10 moves (20 ply) it grows to 8.350e+28."

The knight always goes one two and then it turns, one, two and then it turns, one two and then it turns. The knight, for instance, to get from F1 on the first rank all the way over here in four moves, you could go up two and turn, up two and turn, up two and turn, and then it could go to the side two and turn to reach the other side of the board.

Chess Chess is a two-player board game believed to have been played in India as early as the sixth century AD. In different parts of this world, different chess games are played. The most played variants are western chess, Shogi (in Japan), and Xiangqi (in China). The western version of chess is a game played on an board , called a chessboard, of alternating black and white squares. Pieces with different types of allowed moves are placed on the board, a set of black pieces in the first two rows and a set of white pieces in the last two rows. The pieces are called the bishop (2), king (1), knight (2), pawn (8), queen (1), and rook (2). The object of the game is to capture the opponent's king. In Ingmar Bergman's 1958 film classic The Seventh Seal, a Knight and his squire arrive home from the crusades to find Black Death sweeping their country. As they approach home, Death appears to the knight and tells him it is his time. The knight then challenges Death to a chess game for his life."

"text": "\"Chess, one of the oldest and most popular board games, played by two opponents on a checkered board with specially designed pieces of contrasting colours, commonly white and black. White moves first, after which the players alternate turns in accordance with fixed rules, each player attempting to force the opponent’s principal piece, the King, into checkmate—a position where it is unable to avoid capture. Chess first appeared in India about the 6th century ad and by the 10th century had spread from Asia to the Middle East and Europe. Since at least the 15th century, chess has been known as the “royal game” because of its popularity among the nobility. Rules and set design slowly evolved until both reached today’s standard in the early 19th century. Once an intellectual diversion favoured by the upper classes, chess went through an explosive growth in interest during the 20th century as professional and state-sponsored players competed for an officially recognized world championship title and increasingly lucrative tournament prizes. Organized chess tournaments, postal correspondence games, and Internet chess now attract men, women, and children around the world.

Hi, Coach Russ here with Chess NYC. A very common question that we receive as chess coaches is what is the quickest way to win a game of chess? Now, everybody's idea of the game of chess, that's it's a very long, strategic, thought out game, but surprisingly enough there is a way to win a game of chess in only two moves. Now, when we're looking at the two move checkmate or also known as the foolsmate, it's going to take a sequence of bad moves by the opponent to fall into this trap of only two moves. Now interestingly enough the two move checkmate is going to occur on the black side checkmating white in two moves. So white is going to open up and play a move, F-4. As we can notice in this position by white moving their pawn to F-4 they've opened up their king's diagonal exposing the king and creating a weakness. Black can simply open up and make space for their queen and bishop and this is black's first move. White makes their second move further opening up the king's diagonal and allowing for black to make their second move which is to bring the queen along the diagonal to H-4 and checking the king."

"text": "\"Chess is perhaps the most popular board game of all time. While many people are familiar with the basic rules of chess, there is one obscure move related to pawns that most players are unaware of. Let us first review the basic rules governing the movement of pawns in chess. From their initial position, pawns are allowed to move either one or two spaces forward (provided that there are no pieces blocking their path). After being moved from their initial position, pawns can only move one space forward provided that there are no obstructing pieces. Ad Pawns capture opponent's pieces by moving diagonally one space. Taking en passant is an additional way that pawns are allowed to capture opponent's pawns. Suppose that the chess game has progressed and I have advanced my my pawn three spaces from its initial position (figure 1). Now consider one of the columns to the right or left of my pawn. If you advanced your pawn from its original position two squares forward, it would occupy the square next to mine (figure 2)."

"text": "\"Home Page New to Chess? Ten Tips To Winning Chess Ten Tips To Winning Chess February 4, 2009Printable copy in .pdf formatby International Grandmaster Arthur Bisguier Getting Started Chess is a game of strategy and tactics. Each player commands an army of 16 chessmen --- pawns and other pieces (the king, queen, bishops, knights, and rooks). A well-played chess game has three stages. In the opening, the players bring out their forces in preparation for combat. The middlegame begins as the players maneuver for position and carry out attacks and counterattacks. The final stage is the endgame when, with fewer pawns and pieces left on the board, it is safer for the kings to come out and join the final battle. As play proceeds, each player will capture some of the opponent's men; often, the capturing pieces are immediately recaptured. As long as the piece a player gives up is generally equal to the piece he gets in return, we say the players are exchanging. If you unintentionally place a piece where it can be captured without getting a piece of equal value in return, we say that you put that piece en prise. ("

"text": "\"Forums Chess Books & Equipment A System for Sizing Chess Pieces and Boards (long)1 2 3 Lastloubalch #1Oct 14, 2014Many vendors and organizations publish guidelines for properly scaling chess sets and boards. Some of these are based solely on the height of the king as the determining factor for that selection. Yet it is the diameter of the king, resting on its square, that gives us the best visual indication of scale and proportion. Plus, I’ve seen 4½” kings with diameters everywhere from 1¼“ – 2” wide, so I don’t think a one-size chess board solution will work for all these sets of varying diameters. Also, you can match a king to its appropriately sized board, but if the pawns are not properly matched as well, the set will look disproportioned. It makes sense considering half the pieces on the board are pawns!The solution, of course, is to size both the king and the pawn to the same chess board. In a properly designed chess set, all the remaining pieces – the queen, rooks, bishops and knights -- should be proportionally scaled to the dimensions of the king. The formulas presented here form an integrated system for sizing chess pieces to a given chess board based on the diameters of both the pawn and the king. So matching both is all that’s needed to ensure a well scaled chess set that’s easy to use and pleasing to the eye. Starting from accepted guidelines and on what looks pleasing, we will arrive at two separate formulas, one for sizing the king to its square, and the other for sizing the pawn, each with a different scaling factor."

Xiangqi ( Chinese: 象棋; pinyin: xiàngqí; English: / ˈ ʃ j ɑː ŋ tʃ i / ), also called Chinese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in China, and is in the same family as Western (or international) chess, chaturanga, shogi, Indian chess and janggi. Besides China and areas with significant ethnic Chinese communities, xiangqi ( cờ tướng) is also a popular pastime in Vietnam. The game represents a battle between two armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's general (king). Distinctive features of xiangqi include the cannon ( pao ), which must jump to capture; a rule prohibiting the generals from facing each other directly; areas on the board called the river and palace, which restrict the movement of some pieces (but enhance that of others); and placement of the pieces on the intersections of the board lines, rather than within the squares.

The term can refer to the initial moves by either side, White or Black, but an opening by Black may also be known as a defense. There are dozens of different openings, and hundreds of variants. The Oxford Companion to Chess lists 1,327 named openings and variants. [ 1] These vary widely in character from quiet positional play to wild tactical play. In addition to referring to specific move sequences, the opening is the first phase of a chess game, the other phases being the middlegame and the endgame. Opening moves that are considered standard (often catalogued in a reference work such as the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings) are referred to as \"\"book moves\"\", or simply \"\"book\"\". Reference works often present move sequences in simple algebraic notation, opening trees, or theory tables. When a game begins to deviate from known opening theory, the players are said to be \"\"out of book\"\". In some opening lines, the moves considered best for both sides have been worked out for twenty to twenty-five moves or more."

Jet streams are relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere. The winds blow from west to east in jet streams but the flow often shifts to the north and south. Jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air. Since these hot and cold air boundaries are most pronounced in winter, jet streams are the strongest for both the northern and southern hemisphere winters. Why do the jet stream winds blow from west to east? Recall from the previous section what the global wind patterns would be like if the earth was not rotating. ( The warm air rising at the equator will move toward both poles. ) We saw that the earth's rotation divided this circulation into three cells. The earth's rotation is responsible for the jet stream as well."

Articulated Cutting Head As an add-on option to OMAX waterjets, this computer-controlled multi-axis cutting head permits angled cuts and can be used to automatically minimize taper for precise vertical cuts. Abrasive Waterjet Nozzle Inside the nozzle the pressurized water passes through a small-diameter orifice and forms a coherent jet of water. The jet then passes through a venturi section where a metered amount of granular abrasive is drawn into the water stream. The mixture of water and abrasive particles passes through a special ceramic mixing tube and the resulting abrasive/water slurry exits the nozzle as a coherent cutting stream of abrasive particles travelling at very high speed. Catcher Tank The water-filled catcher tank dissipates the energy of the abrasive jet after it has cut through the material being machined. Abrasive Hopper The abrasive hopper and associated abrasive flow control system provide a metered flow of granular abrasive to the nozzle. X-Y Traverse System A precision X-Y motion system is used to accurately move the nozzle to create the desired cutting path. PC-based Controller Advanced motion controllers for abrasive waterjet systems are PC-based and permit production of accurate parts with minimal operator experience. Motion Control Accurate First Cut The motion control system is an essential element in an abrasive waterjet cutting system because the cutting stream bends as it cuts."

When reading this forecast, you need to keep a few things in mind. First, it’s July, so things can and likely will change between now and this winter. Also keep in mind that you may not experience the same weather conditions for three months non-stop. It’s not uncommon to experience a month of warmer conditions but the overall winter be cold or vice versa. This previous winter is a great example of that. The weather is constantly changing, and my goal in this early forecast is to give you a look at the big, overall picture. I’ll be getting into the specifics of each individual month in my final winter forecast in November. I am changing things up a bit this year to accommodate to two groups, those who simply want to know WHAT is going to happen this winter and those who want to know the WHY behind the forecast. In this post, I simply want to provide you with a region-by-region breakdown of what I believe could occur this winter, and while I’ll be getting into some of the research behind the forecast, I’m going to save most of that for next Sunday, July 26th."

"text": "Atmospheric circulation Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Hynek Kalista Atmospheric circulation is the movement of air at all levels of the atmosphere over all parts of the planet. The driving force behind atmospheric circulation is solar energy, which heats the atmosphere with different intensities at the equator, the middle latitudes, and the poles. The rotation of Earth on its axis and the unequal arrangement of land and water masses on the planet also contribute to various features of atmospheric circulation. Wind cells There are three wind cells or circulation belts between the equator and each pole: the trade winds (Hadley cells), prevailing westerlies (Ferrell cells), and polar easterlies (polar Hadley cells). The trade winds or Hadley cells are named after the English scientist George Hadley (1685–1768), who first described them in 1753. As air is heated at the equator, it rises in the troposphere, the lowest 10 miles (16 kilometers) of Earth's atmosphere. In the wake of the warm rising air, low pressure develops at the equator. When the air reaches the top of the troposphere, called the tropopause, it can rise no farther and begins to move toward the poles, cooling in the process. At about 30 degrees latitude north and south, the cooled air descends back to the surface, pushing the air below it toward the equator, since air flows always move toward areas of low pressure. When the north and south trade winds meet at the equator and rise again, an area of calm develops because of the lack of cross-surface winds."

In-flight wifi remains a frustrating aspect of air travel for those who want to stream their favourite programmes, tweet a photo from 35,000ft or stay in touch with family and friends back home. With widespread complaints that it is expensive and slow, analysis of current pricing plans has found that just a handful of airlines offer free wifi, and most are cashing in with plans that cost as much as £30 ($45) for a six-hour flight.+3A recent study found that passengers want to use wifi to kill the boredom and keep in touch with family Budget airlines Norwegian and Jet Blue are two of the few who offer free wifi for every passenger on board, although Norwegian's free service is limited to flights within Europe and between the US and Caribbean. When it comes to other carriers, passengers can end up paying a fee that matches or exceeds their monthly broadband charges at home. And they shouldn't expect any uniformity from airline to airline or even across the same carrier, as availability, prices and speeds vary per company, aircraft, destination or electronic device. While major American carriers currently offer wifi to their passengers, while British airlines have been slow to meet the demand, with many not offering the service at all.

"text": "What direction does the jet stream flow The jet stream flows from west to east. Jet streams are fast flowing, relatively narrow air currents found in the atmosphere around 10 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. They form at the boundaries of adjacent air masses with significant differences in temperature, such as the polar region and the warmer air to the south. The jet stream is mainly found in the tropopause, at the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with height) and the stratosphere (where temperature increases with height). The major jet streams are westerly winds (flowing west to east) in the Northern Hemisphere, although in the summer, easterly jets can form in tropical regions. The path of the jet typically has a meandering shape, and these meanders themselves propagate east, at lower speeds than that of the actual wind within the flow. The location of the jet stream is extremely important for airlines. In the United States and Canada, for example, the time needed to fly east across the continent can be decreased by about 30 minutes if an airplane can fly with the jet stream, or increased by more than that amount if it must fly west against it. On longer intercontinental flights, the difference is even greater; it is faster and cheaper to fly eastbound along with the jet stream and fly around the jet stream going westbound than it is to take the shorter great circle route between two points.

Some types of winter storm occurregularly each season, sometimes more than once, and have beengiven their own names - Alberta Clipper, Nor'easter, Panhandle Hook. Others, just as severe, are not so romantically named. But rather than describe each type of storm, let's look for some common ground. When you want to find out more about the events which affect you most often, wander on over to The Weather Doctor's pages.

I think they occur because heat rises in the day and then cools at night by descending back to the surface..but I'm not sure about the second part of the question. Can someone help me out? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Sea breezes occur when the land is warmer and releases more heat than the sea. This will most likely occur during the day. Air rises and creates a low pressure over the land. The air parcel, which is now higher up in the atmosphere, travels and cools over the ocean then sinks, creating high pressure over the ocean. The air in this high pressure area will want to go toward the low pressure area over the land. As air goes from high to low pressure, wind is \"\"created\"\"."

"text": "\"Jet Streams: Among the more fascinating features of upper-air circulations are discontinuous bands of relatively strong winds (usually in excess of 30 metres per second) called jet streams. As with other wind fields that increase with increasing height, jet streams can be explained as an application of the thermal-wind equation. They are located above areas of particularly strong temperature gradients--e.g., frontal zones. In such areas, the pressure gradients and the resulting wind speeds increase with increasing height so long as the temperature gradients persist in the same direction. In general, this will extend to the tropopause, after which the temperature gradient reverses direction and the wind speeds diminish. Thus, jet streams are usually found in the upper troposphere (i.e., at levels of nine to 18 kilometers). Because regions of strong temperature gradients can be created in different ways, there are several classes of jet streams. Perhaps the most familiar is the polar-front jet stream. As noted earlier, the polar front is the boundary between polar and mid-latitude air."

"text": "\"Commercial Aircraft Flying Airplanes Why don't airplanes fly much higher than 35-38k ft?21 Answers Dave Robinson, 25+ year career as an Aeronautical Industry Professional Updated Dec 8, 2016 · Author has 596 answers and 861.8k answer views While the other answers all contain relevant points, I'll just add another. The stresses on the Aircraft's fuselage are largely due to the pressure differential between the air in the cabin (this pressure is maintained at levels which keep the passengers comfortable, typically around the equivalent of 8,000 ft) and the external pressure. Therefore the higher you fly where the air pressure is lower, you would either need to lower the pressure in the cabin (making passengers less comfortable) or have designed the fuselage to handle the increased pressure differential (which would likely mean increased skin thickness and associated structure and thus weight. An increase in weight would lead to higher fuel consumption due to the increased lift needed and the associated increased induced drag accompanying the lift). Since we've established that there are penalties with flying higher, the question now is why don't aircraft fly at lots of different lower altitudes ? The answer there is two fold:- Firstly, Commercial Airliners want to fly above the weather in order to give the passengers as smooth a ride as possible and that usually means flying above FL280 (flight level 28,000 ft) in the Northern and Southern Latitudes and a bit higher nearer to the equator. The second reason is that Aircraft are assigned specific altitudes based on their heading (the direction in which they are pointing in order to fly a given track as expressed on a chart) in order to separate them vertically and thus avoid collisions. The separation is 1,000 ft and aircraft traveling in one direction will be at even numbered altitudes while aircraft in the opposite directions at odd numbered altitudes (the headings are grouped from 0 degrees to 179 degrees and from 180 degrees to 359 degrees. If your heading is between 0 and less than 180 degrees inclusive, you fly at an odd numbered altitude and if your heading is between 180 degrees and less than 360 or 0 degrees, you fly an even numbered altitude. This all means that there are only so many flight levels to fly at as specified by Air Traffic Regulations when in uncontrolled airspace (not covered by ground Radar)."

But there are a number of variables in figuring out the best direction. This page is designed to help you find the best placement for your solar panels in your situation. This advice applies to any type of panel that gets energy from the sun; photovoltaic, solar hot water, etc. We assume that the panel is fixed, or has a tilt that can be adjusted seasonally. ( Panels that track the movement of the sun throughout the day can receive 10% (in winter) to 40% (in summer) more energy than fixed panels. This page doesn’t discuss tracking panels. ) Solar panels should always face true south if you are in the northern hemisphere, or true north if you are in the southern hemisphere. True north is not the same as magnetic north. If you are using a compass to orient your panels, you need to correct for the difference, which varies from place to place."

"text": "As you are aware, the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. During the regular tracking though, the sun moves towards the north, making north the best face to maximise your solar gain. Another factor to take into account when optimising your solar gain is the season. As you can see in the diagram, solar gain in summer is higher due to the position of the sun. In winter, the sun is further north, however the angle is not as optimal compared to summer. This being said, if you have northern facing roof space free from any obstructions such as trees or buildings, then you should opt to install solar panels there, so that you are guaranteed the best solar gain. Solar gain and solar panel directional losses You can also install solar panels on the east and the west facing front It’s not uncommon to have solar panels installed on the east or west facing sides of your home or business. Although the solar gain is lower, the directional losses are not that great. The solar panel directional losses for north-east and north-west vary from around 3% to 4%. For an east or west facing roof, your solar gain loss will be around 12% to 18%An experienced solar installer or sales rep will be able to work out the optimum solar panel direction and angle on your property, to will give you the most solar gain and best return on investment."

Written by Housing Energy Advisor on February 28, 2011 — 5 Comments Solar panels are a great way to generate free, carbon neutral electricity for your home and with the introduction of the feed in tariff, the possibility of the new “no risk” loans offered by the proposed Green Deal and rising energy prices, there’s never been a better time to go solar. Once you’ve decided to purchase solar panels, the next question is, where do you put them? Obviously they need sunlight to operate (though some people have the misconception that it needs to be sunny and hot, they will still produce some electricity on a cloudy day and heat is irrelevant so they’ll work just as well on a bright, clear winter’s day as in high summer) so naturally the best place to put them is where they’ll get the most exposure. The thing is however, the sun moves through the sky throughout the day and will be at different angles at different times of the year, so to get the most out of your system you need to establish the optimum direction and angle. Which Direction Should My Solar Panels Face? Regardless of where you are on the planet and regardless of the time of year, the sun will of course always rise in the east and set in the west. As we in the UK are in the northern hemisphere therefore, and the sun is above the equator, your solar panels will work best if they are south facing. This is because they will be facing the sun all day long. North facing panels will be facing away from the sun and will be inefficient."

This change in regulations was the bane of my solar install. Our roof is split into two sections, so those 3-foot setbacks cut our roof space down so much that I couldn’t fit a system large enough to offset 100% of our energy use. These new regulations were actually codified in 2012 in the ICC’s International Fire Code and in the Uniform Fire Code, aka NFPA 1. Each state in America chooses when to start using newer editions of the codes, so not all states are enforcing these setbacks, but they probably all will eventually.

For example, some people are trying to recharge batteries for a trolling motor, boat, RV, house, electric scooter, backwoods cabin, etc., and they want it done in very short time, usually in just a few days. Assume you take a discharged 100-amp hour battery and charge it with a 30-watt solar panel under ideal summertime light conditions. After a full week, the battery will be just about fully charged. Using this example, you can see that it will take at least 100 watts of solar power to recharge a 100-amp hour battery in a few days. Also, keep in mind that it takes direct sunshine on the surface of the panel to produce the maximum-rated power of a solar panel. Conditions such as an overcast sky, shadows, improper mounting angle, equatorial direction or short winter days will reduce the actual solar panel output to below the rated values."

The great reduction witnessed in solar panels cost has been driven primarily by consecutive technological breakthroughs in the production of solar cells and the improvements in the manufacturing of solar panels. In addition, the need towards green energy has driven an increased use of renewable energy sources, and particularly solar energy technologies within the global energy chain. To facilitate penetration of Solar Panel Installations in the production of green energy governments have given various incentives to make solar energy more affordable and attractive and stimulate demand for solar panels. Solar energy companies have acknowledged both the need towards green solar energy and the opportunity to explore both solar energy and financial incentives in a fast growing market. Solar energy installers and solar energy companies compete in a very competitive environment (national and global) driving the aforementioned drop in solar panels cost.

They are a safe, reliable, low-maintenance source of solar electricity that produces no on-site pollution or emissions. PV systems incur few operating costs and are easy to install on most Canadian homes. PV systems fall into two main categories — off-grid and grid-connected. The “grid” refers to the local electric utility’s infrastructure that supplies electricity to homes and businesses. Off-grid systems are installed in remote locations where there is no utility grid available. PV systems have been used effectively in Canada to provide power in remote locations for transport route signalling, navigational aids, remote homes, telecommunication, and remote sensing and monitoring. Internationally, utility grid-connected PV systems represent the majority of installations, growing at a rate of over 30% annually. In Canada, as of 2009, 90% of the capacity is in off-grid applications; however, the number of grid-connected systems continues to grow because many of the barriers to interconnection have been addressed through the adoption of harmonized standards and codes. In addition, provincial policies supporting grid interconnection of PV power have encouraged a number of building-integrated PV applications throughout Canada."

A 3k W system will need to be about 226 sq ft. That may sound huge but it is only 15ft X15ft, which will easily fit on most roof spaces. Each individual solar panel in that system will probably be around 17 sq ft and have an optimal output of around 345W. This means that each of your solar panels will give an average output of 20W per sq ft. Over a year this will equate to your 3k W system outputting around 121 k Wh per sq ft, or 2,550 k Wh in total.

Typical systems generate anything from 10–90 percent of your hot water and pay for themselves in about 10–15 years (even sooner if you're using them for something like a swimming pool). Let's take a closer look at how they work!Photo: Making hot water for free (well, once you've paid for the equipment, anyway).

"text": "How Much Energy Do Solar Panels Produce? January 17, 2017 Bromilow Tom How To, Solar Energy solar panels Solar panels have a rating based on how much DC power it produces under standard test conditions, which just happens to be 1000 watts of sunlight per square meter of surface. But if you’re not at the equator at noon on a sunny day without cloud cover, your solar panels will never function ideally. The average solar panel produces about 200 watts of electricity. This varies from solar panel to solar panel based on the size and efficiency of the panel. What will actually determine the amount of energy a solar panel produces is the solar panel efficiency, solar panel size, and the amount of sunlight hitting the panel. Solar Panel Efficiency Shade, the direction and angle your solar panels are facing, and the surrounding temperature will affect how efficient solar panels will be. Panels placed in shaded areas will receive less sunlight and thus produce less energy. Temperatures above 77 o F decrease the efficiency of a solar panel. And if you want your solar panels to absorb the most amount of sunlight, they must be placed at an angle of 10-60 degrees facing south, west, or east."

"text": "Solar Panel Orientation Please share/bookmark with: Solar Panel Orientation and Positioning Solar power offers many advantages in the generation of electricity. It has zero raw fuel costs, unlimited supply and no environmental issues such as transport, storage, or pollution. Solar power is available everywhere, even on the moon. But to get the most out of a solar panel or solar array, it has to be pointed or “orientated” directly at the suns radiant energy because as we know, the more surface area that is exposed to direct sunlight, the more output the photovoltaic panel will produce, but here lies the problem. While the photovoltaic solar panel may be perfectly aligned to receive the suns energy, it is a stationary object being fixed to either a roof or mounted directly onto a frame. With regards to a solar panel, the sun however is not in a stationary position and is constantly changing its position in the sky relative to the earth from morning through to night making the correct solar panel orientation difficult. So the challenge in getting the maximum benefit of free solar power is to ensure that a photovoltaic solar panel or a complete PV array, is correctly orientated and positioned with regards to the direct sunlight coming from the sun at all times of the day. As well as the “solar panel orientation”, the number of hours of sunlight a day the solar panel receives as well as the intensity or brightness of the sunlight are also important. For example, when the sun is lower in the sky during the winter months the solar panels orientation needs to be more vertical as the solar radiation passes through more atmosphere to reach the solar panel and therefore its intensity is reduced by the scattering and absorption effect of atmosphere and clouds. In the summer months when the sun is higher in the sky the solar radiation is more direct and therefore stronger as it has less distance to travel through the Earth’s atmosphere so the solar panel orientation is more horizontal."

The fibres are divided further into three sets; Iliocostalis, longissimus & spinalis. Tension or pain within any of these muscle fibres can cause restriction of movement of the spine and contributes to ‘knots’ within the back and severe back pain. Stretching Option 1 ~ ‘ The Forward Bend’. Standing, (perform all of these movements in a relaxed way. There is no need to over-reach or force this stretch initially) beginning with the head, let it flex forward at the neck, round the shoulders forward and flex ‘curve’ the spine and flex forward at the hips. Keeping the knees ‘locked out’ let the body drape forward into a forward bend and just relax towards your toes, letting your spine open and stretch naturally. To increase the intensity of the stretch, reach for your toes or try to place your hands upon the floor. Option 2 ~ Resting on knees and hands, perform the ‘cat stretch’ yoga pose by arching your back. Option 3 ~ Laying on your back, bring your body into a shoulder stand and (only when you are ready) bring your thighs over the top of your head to flex the spine into a stretch."

How to Perform Safe Lower Back Exercises Leg Action in a Squat Poor posture can lead to pain, decreased joint motion and muscle tightness. Proper posture starts with a good understanding of the muscles that are involved in posture. Several different muscles are responsible for maintaining upright posture, and over time, poor posture can cause these muscles to lose strength. Spinal, Pelvic and Abdominal Muscles The first muscles that typically come to mind with posture are the muscles along the spine. The erector spinae muscles run along the bones of your spine, the vertebrae, from your neck all the way to your tailbone. These muscles hold the spine in extension or upright, counteracting the pull of gravity. Abdominal muscles support the structures at the front of your trunk, balancing the pull of your back extensors. The quadratus luborum muscles at the top of your pelvis help stabilize the pelvis and spine in the lower back in an upright position. Shoulder and Neck Muscles Muscles around the shoulder blades play a big role in posture."

"text": "The spinous process is one of two bony protrusions arising from the posterior side of each vertebra in the human spine. Extending backward and downwards from the main body of the vertebra, each is an extension of the lamina, two bony plates that converge at the back of each vertebra to form the vertebral arch. The protrusions curve outward from this junction. In the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine, the spinous processes of each vertebra serve as a site of attachment for various muscles and their ligaments. Those in the cervical spine, for instance, act as attachment sites for the upper trapezius, splenius capitus, and rhomboideus minor muscles, all of which have fibers running up the back of the neck. They also serve as a point of insertion for several of the erector spinae muscles, which originate in the lumbar and thoracic spine and run vertically up the back. Many other muscles of the back attach to the thoracic spinous processes, including the splenius cervicis, the rhomboideus major, the latissimus dorsi. Some of the erector spinae muscles also attach to this region of the spine. The lumbar spine is where many of the erector spinae muscles originate, but they are also where the latissimus dorsi muscle, the largest muscle of the back, originates. Though fractures of these bones are a relatively uncommon injury, there are several possible types, particularly in the lower cervical and upper thoracic region of the spine."

This lesson identifies and describes the major erector spinae muscles responsible for erect posture and movement. Vertebral Column Did you know that Americans spend at least $50 billion a year on lower back pain? Lower back pain can be caused by a variety of problems, including injury to muscles attached to the vertebral column. Let's take a look at these muscles. If we peel away the trapezius and the latissimus dorsi muscle that are on the superficial part of the back, we can see the muscles responsible for our posture. The erector spinae is a group of muscles that work together to extend the vertebral column and thus maintain good posture. The muscles are innervated by the spinal nerves. Many of these muscles are small and therefore susceptible to injury."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 6:19Introduction Pelvic girdle and low back pain have fallen under the diagnostic umbrella of non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). Consequently, a misconception that any exercise is good exercise was created. It is true that low back pain can have it's etiology in pelvic girdle mal-alignment, and similarly low back pain with neural irritation can lead to inco-ordination of muscles causing pelvic mal-alignment. However, clinically there appears to be very little non-specific about such problems. Traditionally, manual therapists have viewed impairment as loss of range of motion and/or perceived stiffness on joint mobilization. However, when considering low back pain and pelvic girdle dysfunction, the effects of muscular force transduction are becoming more evident as being an important impairment variable. The clinician needs to be aware of Newton's third law of 'action-reaction', the effects of inverse dynamics and the desire for symmetrical and appropriately timed force dissipation ('damping' and 'propagation') by supporting musculature."

Typically strains are caused by athletic injuries, but can also be caused by less strenuous activities like gardening and performing simple chores. Muscle strains in the back are caused by a back muscle tendon that is stretched or overloaded resulting in a partial or complete tear. Understanding How Muscle Strains Can Cause Pain in the Thoracic Spine To understand the pain that is generated by a back muscle strain, it is helpful to understand how the muscles of the thoracic spine are arranged. There are three key muscle groups in the thoracic area, the superficial, the intermediate and the deep or intrinsic muscles. These three groups form a column that runs along each side of the spine called the erector spina. The superficial muscles relate more to the neck. The intermediate muscles affect the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The deep intrinsic muscles are located under the erector spinae and include the semispinalis, multifidus and rotatores."

"text": "Take your lunge to the next level with lunge jumps. If you are looking for a move that requires no extra equipment but works muscles in your hips, butt, legs, arms and core, then look no further than the lunge jump. In just one move, a dozen muscles engage to spring your body up in the air. Several more muscles are recruited to help stabilize your body. This is an intermediate level move, so master a basic lunge before you add in some jumping. Trunk Muscles Your erector spinae, which runs along your spine, keeps your spine stabile. Your transverse abdominis, one of your abdominal muscles, stabilizes your core. Both of these are primary muscles for performing the lunge jump. Your serratus anterior, which runs along your torso and attaches to the second through ninth ribs, works as a stabilizing muscle. It is responsible for moving your scapula as your arms shift during the exercise."

Opposing muscles are sets of muscles that work together to assist you in moving your body. If these muscles are strengthened together, it creates a balance between the two. Most of us have stronger muscles in the front of our body, simply because we use them more: we lift things with our biceps and we take steps with our quadriceps. In the meantime, the triceps and the hamstrings don’t work as hard, as they are not the prime movers of the arm and the leg, respectively. Opposing muscles are sometimes referred to as the agonist (the prime mover) and the antagonist."

This occurs above rising convection currents. The rising current pushes up on the bottom of the lithosphere, lifting it and flowing laterally beneath it. This lateral flow causes the plate material above to be dragged along in the direction of flow. At the crest of the uplift, the overlying plate is stretched thin, breaks and pulls apart. Divergent Plate Boundary - Oceanic When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere, producing a mid-ocean ridge. Extensional forces stretch the lithosphere and produce a deep fissure. When the fissure opens, pressure is reduced on the super-heated mantle material below. It responds by melting, and the new magma flows into the fissure. The magma then solidifies and the process repeats itself."

A smaller number connect mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones. Transform Plate Boundary A Strike-Slip Fault is NOT a Transform Fault Transform faults can be distinguished from the typical strike-slip faults because the sense of movement is in the opposite direction (see illustration). A strike-slip fault is a simple offset; however, a transform fault is formed between two different plates, each moving away from the spreading center of a divergent plate boundary. When you look at the transform fault diagram, imagine the double line as a divergent plate boundary and visualize which way the diverging plates would be moving. A smaller number of transform faults cut continental lithosphere. The most famous example of this is the San Andreas Fault Zone of western North America. The San Andreas connects a divergent boundary in the Gulf of California with the Cascadia subduction zone."

"text": "Instructor: Peter Jaeger Pete currently teaches middle school Science, college level introductory Science, and has a master's degree in Environmental Education. In the theory of plate tectonics, the earth's crust is broken into plates that move around relative to each other. As a result of this movement, three types of plate boundaries are formed: divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. Introduction to Plate Boundaries I hope you have never been in a car accident, but I know we all have seen one in our lives. If you have watched many movies, you almost certainly have. Have you noticed how even when the car is no longer at the accident site, you can tell what happened to it - like where it was impacted, how fast it was going (or the other car was going), and what part was hit first? Even without impacts, perhaps you can piece together what happened when a scratch shows up on the side of the car. As tectonic plates of the earth, or giant pieces of the earth's crust, move and crash into each other, similar tell-tale signs show up to give us some ideas about how they move with relation to each other. The theory of plate tectonics states that the crust of the earth is broken up into large pieces, or plates, that move around by floating on top of the liquid layer of the earth known as the mantle. This process is driven by convection currents within the mantle."

Divergent Boundary: A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, lava spews from long fissures and geysers spurt superheated water. Frequent earthquakes strike along the rift. Beneath the rift, magma—molten rock—rises from the mantle. It oozes up into the gap and hardens into solid rock, forming new crust on the torn edges of the plates. Magma from the mantle solidifies into basalt, a dark, dense rock that underlies the ocean floor. Thus at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust, made of basalt, is created. 2.

Earth's tectonic plates Map showing Earth's major tectonic plates with arrows depicting the directions of plate movement. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The concept of plate tectonics was formulated in the 1960s. According to the theory, Earth has a rigid outer layer, known as the lithosphere, which is typically about 100 km (60 miles) thick and overlies a plastic (moldable, partially molten) layer called the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is broken up into seven very large continental- and ocean-sized plates, six or seven medium-sized regional plates, and several small ones. These plates move relative to each other, typically at rates of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) per year, and interact along their boundaries, where they converge, diverge, or slip past one another. Such interactions are thought to be responsible for most of Earth’s seismic and volcanic activity, although earthquakes and volcanoes can occur in plate interiors. Plate motions cause mountains to rise where plates push together, or converge, and continents to fracture and oceans to form where plates pull apart, or diverge. The continents are embedded in the plates and drift passively with them, which over millions of years results in significant changes in Earth’s geography. The theory of plate tectonics is based on a broad synthesis of geologic and geophysical data."

This is because the Sun heats our atmosphere, but not equally in all places. Half the Earth is in darkness at any given time; the axial tilt results in unequal distribution of light rays across the surface that is lit by the Sun; different surfaces have a different albedo (that is, they reflect different amounts of light and heat back away from the Earth). These uneven heat levels make some parts of the Earth hot, and some parts cold. This creates weather systems in both large regular systems of heat exchange and smaller systems where hot and cold air masses mix, producing chaotic processes difficult to predict with any accuracy. It is these latter, smaller systems which create tornadoes. A tornado occurs where hot and cold air masses mix. The hot, high-pressure air is attempting to rise. The cold, low-pressure air is attempting to sink."

"text": "\"A storm is a violent disturbance, and most references to storms have to do with weather effects dominated by strong winds. The main types include the hailstorm, ice storm, rainstorm, snowstorm, thunderstorm, windstorm, cyclone, hurricane, and tornado. The first six types refer to violent winds accompanied by another feature. A hailstorm is weather system accompanied by a fall of hailstones, ice pellets that are larger than 0.2 inches (5 millimeters) in diameter. Even though ice is involved in both, an ice storm is different. Precipitation in the form of snow or rain freezes on contact with whatever it lands on, forming a coating of ice on the surface. A rainstorm is not just any fall of rain, but strong system characterized by strong winds and heavy rain. A snowstorm is windy weather during which there is a heavy snowfall. A blizzard is a particularly violent type of snowstorm, with wind speeds at or above 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) and visibility less than 0.25 miles (400 meters) for three hours. Ad A windstorm has either strong winds or strong gusts of wind, but very little or no rain."

Know your risk What A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground and is often—although not always—visible as a funnel cloud. Lightning and hail are common in thunderstorms that produce tornadoes. Tornadoes cause extensive damage to structures and disrupt transportation, power, water, gas, communications, and other services in its direct path and in neighboring areas. Related thunderstorms can cause heavy rains, flash flooding, and hail Where About 1,200 tornadoes hit the United States every year and every state is at risk. Most tornadoes in the United States occur east of the Rocky Mountains with concentrations in the central and southern plains, the Gulf Coast and Florida. When Tornadoes can strike in any season, but occur most often in the spring and summer months. They can occur at all hours of the day and night, but are most likely to occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. Before a Tornado Identify safe rooms built to FEMA criteria or ICC500 storm shelters or other potential protective locations in sturdy buildings near your home, work, and other locations you frequent so you have a plan for where you will go quickly for safety when there is a Warning or an approaching tornado. For schools, malls, and other buildings with long-span roofs or open space plans, or many occupants, ask the building manager to identify the best available refuge.

By Robynne Boyd on June 28, 2007Credit: NOAAWeather isn't always predictable. If it were, daily forecasts would be spot-on, hurricanes anticipated, and picnics safe from abrupt summer downpours. Instead, climate systems are complex, and tornadoes are no exception. So, whereas guessing the direction of a tornado's torque is possible, like any weather prediction the forecast will only be correct most of the time. It's true that tornadoes tend to revolve counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. However, according to research meteorologist Richard Rotunno of the U. S. National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., the opposite has also occurred. There has even been the occasional appearance of both counterclockwise and clockwise rotating tornadoes under the same thunderstorm. These deviations undercut the common misperception that the direction of a tornadoes' spin results from the Coriolis force."

Across the Plains, tornadoes can be seen from miles away. However, in the southeast, and especially Georgia, tornadoes are often hidden in large swaths of rain and hail, making them very difficult to see and even more dangerous. Visibility is often affected by terrain constraints in Georgia as well. As stated before, tornadoes come in different shapes and sizes. They are ranked using the Enhanced Fujita scale. The majority of tornadoes which occur are classified as a weak tornado. Usually a weak tornado will last for just a few minutes and have wind speeds of 100 mph or less."

Thunderstorms tend to track in the direction of the mid level winds. However, a strong to severe thunderstorm, including those that can produce a strong tornado, can suddenly change direction. This turning of the thunderstorm is usually somewhat to the right of the initial direction of the thunderstorm is moving. Because the tornado also has some added influence from low level winds that are near the surface and friction from the ground, it may wobble along the surface in any direction, but in general will stay with the moving thunderstorms it is associated with.

"text": "Severe Weather 101Types of Tornadoes Tornadoes come from mainly two types of thunderstorms: supercell and non-supercell. Tornadoes that come from a supercell thunderstorm are the most common, and often the most dangerous. A rotating updraft is a key to the development of a supercell, and eventually a tornado. There are many ideas about how this rotation begins. One way a column of air can begin to rotate is from wind shear – when winds at two different levels above the ground blow at different speeds or in different directions. Tornadoes that come from a supercell thunderstorm are the most common, and often the most dangerous. [ +]An example of wind shear that can eventually create a tornado is when winds at ground level, often slowed down by friction with the earth's surface, come from the southwest at 5 mph. But higher up, at 5000 feet above the same location, the winds are blowing from the southeast at 25 mph! An invisible “tube” of air begins to rotate horizontally. Rising air within the thunderstorm tilts the rotating air from horizontal to vertical – now the area of rotation extends through much of the storm."

The thunderstorm itself is rotating, with a rotating updraft known as a mesocyclone, and then a smaller area of rotation at lower altitude the tornadocyclone (or low-level mesocyclone) which produces or enables the smaller rotation that is a tornado. All of these may be quasi-vertically aligned continuing from the ground to the mid-upper levels of the storm. All of these cyclones and scaling all the way up to large extratropical ( low-pressure systems) and tropical cyclones rotate cyclonically. Rotation in these synoptic scale systems stems partly from the Coriolis effect, but thunderstorms and tornadoes are too small to be significantly affected. The common property here is an area of lower pressure, thus surrounding air flows into the area of less dense air forming cyclonic rotation."

Cyclonic rotation is defined as counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. Unlike tropical cyclones, such as hurricanes, mid-latitude cyclones are powered by temperature contrasts, usually along boundaries between large-scale air masses.

It’s a consequence of the US’ unique geography. Here’s an animation I put together of NOAA's data on the 25-year average number of tornadoes per State by month: From April to June, there’s an obvious explosion in activity across the Midwestern US – the area known as Tornado Alley – and the reason for this explosion is due to a couple of key geographic features. First, here’s an elevation map of the US. What you’ll notice about the Midwest and other States with high tornado activity is that the area is pretty flat, especially in comparison to the Rocky Mountains. But as there are many great swaths of flatness across the globe, that’s not enough to account for high tornado activity. In fact, it's a myth that tornadoes can only form in flat spaces. However, the Midwest's flatness does play a role in facilitating tornado formation, which I'll return to later. What you might have noticed in the looping animation of tornado activity is that the hot spot moves from the south to the north as the tornado season goes on. This is because of the next great geographic feature to consider: the Gulf of Mexico."

A: Quick Answer According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, tornadoes form when warm air creates a rotating updraft in a powerful thunderstorm. When winds blow in sharply different directions or at different speeds in these storms, they can set up a rotation that feeds on itself, creating a condition called a mesocyclone. When this construct rotates and touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Main Characteristics of a Tornado? What Happens During a Tornado?

Doppler radar is a pretty big deal Doppler radar in the United States is arguably the single greatest advance in weather technology in the past 50 years. Before the late 1980s, weather radar could only detect precipitation. It could see where rain was falling and how heavy it was, but that was it.

Step 2Pull out a small length of the tape from the roll and, with your thumb, press it against the threads right at the end of the pipe, but not over the opening. The tape should be positioned so that when you unwind the roll around that pipe, it will be going in the same direction that the fitting to be applied to the pipe will go. ( Normally, this is clockwise. ) Step 3Unwind the roll of tape around the pipe clockwise, while still holding the end of the tape against the pipe threads with your thumb. The first turn should double over the end of the tape and cover it completely (take your thumb off after the roll comes around). Then move down the thread as you continue wrapping."

Teflon paste, pipe dope, and too much Teflon tape should not be used as this creates bulk which will create more stress and may lubricate fittings causing you to over tighten them. If Teflon tape is used it should not be more then 2.5 mil thick and care should be taken not to over tighten threaded joints. The smaller the pipe size the easier it is to crack it. It is easy to over-torque smaller diameter fittings because their resistance to torque is less."

"text": "When to use PTFE Teflon Yellow or White tapes or Pipe Dope January 17 By kevin 22 Comments The purpose of thread sealant tape (a.k.a. “ Teflon tape”) or pipe dope is threefold: First, the lubricant qualities allow male threaded pipe to be turned deeper into female threaded fittings to prevent leaks;Second, it acts as a filler to smooth out micro abrasions or surface irregularities on threads;Third, it keeps the male and female threads from rusting together (a.k.a. seizing);There were lots of comments about the earlier photo that showed sealant tape wrapped in the wrong direction (thank you for pointing out my oversight). I have since replaced the stock photo with my own and wrote a post titled, How To Correctly Apply Teflon Tape to a Thread for your reference PIPE THREAD TYPESAN thread is a type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid (it stems from a joint standard by the U. S. Army and U. S. Navy, hence “AN”). AN thread provides a positive seal that should seal correctly with specified torque torque range with no leaks. The AN should not require a thread sealant. National Pipe Thread (NPT) taper is a U. S. standard for tapered threads used on threaded pipes and fittings. In contrast to straight threads that are found on a bolt, a tapered thread will pull pipes and fittings tight together, providing effective seal for pipes transporting liquids, gases, steam and other fluids. Although SAE and ASTM (organizations that set U. S. industry standards) set very precise thread class specifications, many threaded products carried by large box retailers have varying degrees of deviations from set specifications (i.e. micro surface imperfections like chatter or spalling), thus requiring a use of thread sealants. USE SETTINGSIn a residential home environment, we are primarily transporting non-caustic substances like water, natural gas, Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), fuel oil (and maybe compressed air and oxygen)."

You can buy a piece of it with both ends threaded and get end caps that fit. Put your cash in zip locks with some of those crystals like you get with leather shoes and put it in the pipe. But, I would bury it under a walkway of patio blocks, perhaps in a flower bed. Then, all I would have to do to get at it would be to remove a couple of patio blocks, dig out a little dirt and it would be right there. PVC is forever - it doesn't degrade even in the landfill or if it's used in the house for water or sewer."

"text": "Major Systems How To: Install a Faucet By Kit Stansley Photo: Kit Stansley Changing or installing a new faucet is a fairly simple home improvement task, even if it does require contorting your body into a pretzel-like shape under the sink temporarily. If you can avoid needing to be hoisted out from under the cabinet and being put into traction (I recommend stretching first) this type of project should take less than an hour. GETTING STARTEDAll sinks consist of the same basic parts: – Hot and cold water lines underneath the sink, usually with shut-off knobs located on each – Drain pipe – Sink basin (with anywhere from 1-4 holes–important to note when purchasing a new or replacement faucet) – Faucet If you have to remove an existing faucet, it’s always a good idea to assess the situation before you start. If the sink and faucet are old or rusted it may take more time and tools to remove it. ( I always like to keep a sledgehammer nearby. You know, just in case! ) What you will need: – Faucet (to fit number of holes in sink) and accompanying parts – Teflon tape – Plumber’s putty – Wrench (a basin wrench works best for those tight spaces)Most faucets are attached to the sink by a plastic nut—or a metal one in older models. There are also faucets that mount with bolts on the top, but more than likely you will need to wedge yourself inside the cabinet under the sink to accomplish this project. Photo: Kit Stansley Advertisement To remove an old faucet, shut the water off at the pipes under the sink or at the main shut-off to the house. Then remove the water connections and the nuts securing the faucet to the sink."

"text": "Home & Garden Maintenance & Repairs Can you use Teflon Tape on Natural Gas fittings or does it need to be the plumber putty stuff.? Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Teflon tape will work, but personally I like the teflon filled joint compound better. I think it is more secure for this purpose. With any method, you will want to leak test carefully when finished. Do this with a soft brush and a soap solution, use about a cap full (1/2 teaspoon) of dishwashing detergent like dawn in a cup of water. Brush it over the joints and watch- any bubbles that form and grow are proof of a leak. The problem with leaks in iron pipe is that as you tighten one end of a pipe you loosen the other at the next joint, so one leak can have you reworking several joints.spiritgide41 · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating Pipe dope is a gooey paste that is used on threaded pipe joints. Teflon tape is used for the same purpose, and some plumbers use both at the same time. Plumbers putty is use when installing sink drains. It is a soft putty that will compress to seal between the flange and the sink."

There's a leak in my brand-new lawn sprinkler system where the sprinkler valve (or valves) are screwed to PVC pipe. As a result, the underground valve box is full of water. The whole assemblage of pipe, elbows and tees is cemented together, there's no opportunity to turn the threaded connections at all. To repair this by \"\"proper\"\" means would involve digging up and cutting all of the pipes connected to this collection of valves as everything but the valves themselves is permanently cemented together into a 3-D puzzle. Rather than having to chop apart and rebuild it all, is there any hope for being able to shut off the water, let everything drain out and dry off, then paint the threaded connections to the valves with purple primer and PVC cement? Will the primer/cement have any chance of wicking up into the threads to seal them?

Most bathroom sinks usually come with three different hole configurations. The most popular configuration is two holes four inches apart with a center hole between them (three holes total). Another similar configuration is two holes eight inches apart with a center hole between them (often called a spread set configuration). Finally, there might be just a single hole, which is a common configuration for newer sinks and faucets. You will need to purchase a faucet that matches your particular hole pattern. It is not recommended that you try drilling holes in your sink or try to make a spread set fit a 4-inch configuration."

"text": "The Anatomy of a Compression Joint Copper lines are found in many places. A common household use is as the water supply line for a refrigerator ice maker. Copper lines are often used as fixed fuel lines on boats and as lines supplying fuel to the injectors in a diesel engine. There are two effective ways to join copper lines together: soldering, which requires a specialized skill, and compression joints, which require no more than the ability to use a pipe wrench. Making a Connection A compression fitting joins copper piping together with a fitting. This fitting may be bulky or unattractive; nonetheless, it is the quickest effective way to make a joint between two or more copper lines. One end of the fitting is threaded pipe, the receiver; the end of the receiver is slightly enlarged, to allow the insertion of the pipe to be joined to it. The other end is unthreaded pipe that passes through a compression ring called an olive, then through a compression nut, which will be tightened onto the threads of the receiver. Before assembling the compression joint, use steel wool to remove any burrs from both pipe ends and wrap the threads of the receiver with PTFE Teflon pipe sealing tape. Under Pressure When the compression nut is tightened onto the threaded receiver, the olive acts as a bridge between the receiver and the compression nut along the direction of compression."

This is done by changing the direction that a ceiling fan's blades are moving (clockwise or counter-clockwise). Depending on the model, the ceiling fan's direction can be changed through the reverse switch on the fan's motor or on a remote control. Ceiling Fan Direction In Summer: Counter-Clockwise Which way should a fan turn in the summer? During the summer, run your fan's blades counter-clockwise to blow air downward and create a cooling breeze so you can set your thermostat at a higher setting and still feel cool while saving money on air conditioning costs. How much can you save in the summer? If you raise the thermostat by just 2 degrees along with using a ceiling fan regularly, you can lower energy costs by about 15% (says the EPA). Ceiling Fan Direction In Winter: Clockwise Which way should a ceiling fan turn in the winter? During the winter, ceiling fans can help heating systems to operate more efficiently.

Many homeowners are aware that pre-season maintenance is essential, but once the cooling season begins, summertime activities may take precedence over caring for their air conditioners. This is a mistake. There are many issues that can arise mid-summer concerning your A/C. A big problem that many homeowners never think about is having their air conditioner freeze. Learn to watch out for what causes an air conditioner to freeze and the ways to prevent costly repairs: Low refrigerant. Letting the level of the refrigerant in your air conditioning system decline can lead to the cold coil becoming too cold and can result in freezing. A major cause of this problem is that a leak has developed somewhere in your system. To fix this problem, you need to refill the refrigerant in your system, as well as locate and repair the leak.

While the weather's warm, do this simple test: Most fans have a \"\"clockwise\"\" setting and a \"\"counterclockwise\"\" setting, each appropriate for a different season. Stand beneath the fan and turn it on. If you immediately feel a breeze from the fan, then it's set on the \"\"summer\"\" setting, usually counterclockwise. Otherwise, turn off the fan, climb up near the base of the fan, and look for a little button or switch that sets the fan to run in the opposite direction. In general, you want your fan to run counter-clockwise at higher speeds in the summer to move a breeze around, and clockwise at lower speeds to help distribute heat in the winter. While you're optimizing your wind pushers, try a little TLC to rejuvenate a stand-up fan.

If you’re replacing an old room or central air conditioner, the choices on the market today are likely to be more energy efficient than what you have. But don’t buy too little or too much—getting a cooling system that is the wrong size is the most common mistake people make, regardless of the type.

"text": "Heating & Cooling Which Direction Should a Ceiling Fan Rotate? How to keep warm (or cooler) air moving to make the room comfortable By Mariette Mifflin Updated 11/15/17Share Pin Email John Burke/Stockbyte/Getty Images What is the correct ceiling fan direction during summer and winter? Is your ceiling fan on the proper seasonal rotation? It could save you energy dollars if it rotates in the proper direction depending on whether it is winter or summer. Ceiling fans provide great air circulation and you can optimize these benefits by ensuring the ceiling fan rotation of the blades is correct for circulating warm air during winter or creating a breeze effect by moving or circulating the air better, during a hot summer. During Winter Heating To help move warm air that is trapped on the ceiling, blades should turn 'forward' in a clockwise motion. This movement will push up the air and pull the warm trapped air down the sides of the room improving heat distribution. During Hot Summer Weather To help produce a comfortable breeze or 'windchill' that cools the skin, blades should rotate in a 'reverse' counter-clockwise motion. The air movement has the same comfortable effect as when you fan yourself with a magazine to get relief from hot, stifling air. Ceiling fans in themselves do not heat or cool a room, but the ceiling fan rotation allows improved air circulation, which can greatly improve the comfort of your living space."

Hopefully this will find this information helpful. After being in the ceiling fan business for over 20 years, I've answered this question thousands of times…in several ways. The technical answer from the fan manufacturers is: During the summer the fan should run counter clockwise (as you look up at it). During the winter, clockwise at a low speed. However, most people get confused with this answer…and can’t remember the next day, which is correct. Plus, it is not 100% correct. So, here are some alternative answers: During the summer, you want the air blowing directly on you so you will feel cooler from the wind chill effect (which is how fans cool you off).

When the flashes are for real, you will know! Mild flushing, a feeling of warmth which does not cause sweating or other disruptions, will simply make you aware you are warm when no one else around seems to be warm. Moderate flushing may bother you at work or while sleeping but does not interfere with your ability to function. Severe flushing will keep you from completing daily tasks or interrupt your sleep badly enough to interfere with your ability to function.

All About Dehumidifiers Lowering your indoor relative humidity is usually a good idea — the only downside is the energy cost Posted on Jul 26 2013 by Martin Holladay A dehumidifier located in a closet with a louvered door can dehumidify the entire house. The closet is near the central return-air grille, but this set-up does not require a return-air grille in the closet for the dehumidifier to be effective. It's best if the house has a supply ventilation system with periodic air mixing (controlled by a Fan Cycler). An energy-efficient home in a hot, humid climate should have a tight envelope, thick insulation, energy-efficient appliances, and low-solar-gain windows. If you include these features in a new home, your air conditioner won’t run as often as your neighbor’s. That’s good. But there is a downside to the fact that your air conditioner runs rarely: during the hours that your house has no active cooling, it also has no active dehumidification. As a result, your indoor relative humidity is going to rise. This problem is fairly well understood."

Cato (Ludwig) and Clove (Fuhrman) are ruthless killers who are the two most fearsome Career Tributes, while Rue (Stenberg) is the youngest Tribute from District 11, who also becomes a close ally of Katniss Everdeen ( Jennifer Lawrence ). At the press day, the three co-stars made it obvious just how tight-knit the cast had gotten while making the film, as they shared stories about training together, the practical jokes they played on each other, what it’s like to interact with fans, and what they learned from this experience. Check out what they had to say after the jump: For those not familiar with the story, here’s the synopsis: Each year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl, between the ages of 12 and 18, to compete in The Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and on ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which Tributes must fight with one another until one survivor remains. When the young Primrose Everdeen ( Willow Shields) has her name called, her 16-year-old sister Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to enter the Games in her place. Once there, she is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts and, if she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Most people can be comfortable at a setting of 68 - 70° - each degree higher than that can increase your heating costs by 1- 3%. Q. I've heard that setting back my heat can actually cost me more when I turn the thermostat back up - is this true? A. With most heating systems, you will save by turning the thermostat back for four hours or more. If you have a heat pump, you should either set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature and leave it, or use a programmable thermostat specifically designed for a heat pump. Q. How often should I change the filters in my forced air heating or air conditioning system? A. You should check your filters on a regular basis (monthly checks are recommended), and replace them whenever they appear dirty.

"text": "How to Move Heat Around Your House Avoid baking in the hearth room while freezing everywhere else One of the most appealing things about wood stoves is that they operate silently and without the use of electricity – a rare thing in today's world. In general it is preferable to arrange things so that heat from the stove naturally flows to where it is most needed, making the use of fans for heat distribution unnecessary. An example of house layout for good heat distribution is a two story house with a basement. The stove is located on the open plan main floor. The bedrooms on the second floor naturally stay a little cooler, which suits a lot of people. The basement also stays cooler, which is fine if it is mainly storage and utility space rather than living space. Provided it is reasonably well sealed and insulated, this house could be heated effectively with a single wood stove and need no fans to circulation air. However, most people don't have the luxury of designing their house around space heating with wood, so for many, something must be done to improve the circulation of heat around the house. Don't connect a stove to the return air ducts from a central heating system. This can fill your house with carbon monoxide."

Keeping your attic cooler in the summer can increase the life of the roof as well as saving money on your air conditioning bill. To effectively cool the attic, outside air needs to circulate through it. One solution is to use the natural circulation caused by hot air rising to bring fresh air into the attic through soffit vents under the eaves, then expel the hot air through ridge or gable vents near the peak of the roof. The general rule of thumb on the amount of total attic vent space needed is to have at least one square foot of vent space for every 150 square feet of attic area. Ideally, half the vents should be located in the soffit at the bottom of the roof and half in gable or ridge vents near the top to allow for natural circulation of air through the attic. To find out how many soffit vents you need to install: Calculate the total vent area needed: Multiply the length of the attic times the width in feet to find the attic area, then divide by 150 to find the total square feet of vent space needed. [ ( length x width of attic in feet) ÷ 150 = total sq. ft. vent area] Example: a 50′ x 30′ attic would have a total area of 1,500 sq."

Sure, they won’t do the job all by themselves if it’s the middle of July but they can circulate the air, spinning the warm air up and keeping the cooler air down at your level. Since warm air naturally rises anyway, it’s a pretty simple system. But did you know that ceiling fans can also be used in the winter to help keep a room warm? Most ceiling fans have a switch that reverses the direction that the blades spin. If the fan blades spin in one direction, they push warm air upward. If they spin in another direction, they push warm air down. Another great thing about ceiling fans is that they are very conservative of energy. If ceiling fans rotate in the proper direction during the right months, they can save on your monthly electric bill."

"text": "Here is a sampling of inquiries that we answer most often. General What size blade should I choose? How do I determine the size (blade size) of a ceiling fan? The blade size, or sweep, of a fan is determined by taking the distance from the edge of one blade to the center of the motor and then doubling that number. For example, if the distance between the edge of one blade and the center of the motor is 26”, you would have a 52” (26” x 2 = 52”) sweep ceiling fan. The sweep of the ceiling fan is one of the most important considerations when choosing a fan for your room. If your fan blades are too small you won’t have the proper airflow coverage or circulation. If your blade size is too large, you run the risk of over-dominating the space and making the room appear smaller than it actually is. That being said, the biggest size you can fit without overwhelming the space the better. Larger sweep ceiling fans move more air for less operating cost."

"text": "Heating & Cooling Which Direction Should a Ceiling Fan Rotate? How to keep warm (or cooler) air moving to make the room comfortable By Mariette Mifflin Updated 11/15/17Share Pin Email John Burke/Stockbyte/Getty Images What is the correct ceiling fan direction during summer and winter? Is your ceiling fan on the proper seasonal rotation? It could save you energy dollars if it rotates in the proper direction depending on whether it is winter or summer. Ceiling fans provide great air circulation and you can optimize these benefits by ensuring the ceiling fan rotation of the blades is correct for circulating warm air during winter or creating a breeze effect by moving or circulating the air better, during a hot summer. During Winter Heating To help move warm air that is trapped on the ceiling, blades should turn 'forward' in a clockwise motion. This movement will push up the air and pull the warm trapped air down the sides of the room improving heat distribution. During Hot Summer Weather To help produce a comfortable breeze or 'windchill' that cools the skin, blades should rotate in a 'reverse' counter-clockwise motion. The air movement has the same comfortable effect as when you fan yourself with a magazine to get relief from hot, stifling air. Ceiling fans in themselves do not heat or cool a room, but the ceiling fan rotation allows improved air circulation, which can greatly improve the comfort of your living space."

Uponor Radiant floor heating is a comfortable and efficient form of heating where warm water circulates through flexible, specially designed PEX tubing installed under the floor. The heat radiates evenly up through the floor warming people and objects in the room and providing more comfort for less money. Do you need a supplemental ventilation system? Yes, however the ducts can be smaller which saves structural height. Ventilation is necessary to address the latent load and bring in the required refresh air. If a family has allergies, can a radiant floor heating system help? Yes, our radiant heat system has no drafts, fans or blowers to circulate dust, dirt and other allergens throughout a home. Warm radiant floors can eliminate the need for carpeting which is a breeding ground for dust mites, a very common cause of allergic respiratory disease. The result is a clean, healthy environment — a must for people with allergies."

Here are some tips on how you can use fans at your advantage: Use fans with your air conditioner. By circulating the cool air from your air conditioner, they help lower energy costs. In warm weather, use ceiling fan direction to blow air down. It creates a cooling effect on your skin. In cold weather, set the fan to blow toward the ceiling. This will drive warm air away from the ceiling and distributes heat in the room evenly. A whole-house fan mounted in the attic will ventilate your entire home.

As in un-myelinated axons, the first action potential in myelinated axons takes place at the initial segment of an axon and is generated by a threshold stimulus from the dendrites and cell body. Subsequent action potentials occur at the nodes of Ranvier, where the Na+ voltage-gated channels are located. Therefore, when nerve impulses travel down a myelinated axon, they appear to jump from node to node - in a process called saltatory conduction. Each nodal action potential is triggered by a threshold stimulus created by passive current from the previous node. While the previous noder repolarizes, Na+ channels open in the stimulated node and the influx of Na+ ions depolarizes the area. Passive current again develops due to attractions between oppositely charged ions in the adjacent nodes. The myelin sheath insulates the axon and inhibits current leakage through the plasma membrane. This allows the current to travel the long distances between nodes without decaying below threshold level. Even though the current spreads in both directions, only the succeeding node is affected."

Flag How does information travel between neurons? Answer by Jalen Gordon Confidence votes 15By the migration of a potential charge. When a neuron gets stressed (stretch receptors) or receives a signal (a neurotransmitter) it can either cause a positive or negative change in that neurons membrane potential. If the change is POSITIVE enough, and lets in enough Na+ through ligand gated ion channels (where the neurotransmitters bind) , then the cell will be able to fire. Fireing means that a bunch of voltage gated ion channels open to allow more Na+ in, in a chain reaction fashion. As the channel detects a positive change in voltage, it opens its channel to allow even more positive ions to enter the cell. After the Na+ channels open, K+ channels open to let out K+, to help restore the resting potential of about -60. The Na/K pump will help to re-establish the correct resting potential after this chain reaction has moved all the way down the cells axon. The meyelin sheath helps these reactions \"\"jump\"\" down the axon, and therefore makes it faster and more efficient."

The nervous system is a network of nerves that are spread out to the smallest part of the body so that every part can react to a stimulus. There are about 100 billion neurons in our Central nervous system. A stimulus can be mechanical, chemical, electrical or thermal and the body responds to this stimulus as there is a change in the physio-chemical balance at the cell membrane. This disturbance at the cell membrane is called membrane potential. When there is difference in the electric potential, the signal travels from one neuron to the other through axons. Some axons are myelinated and some are not. The myelinated axons have a couple of breaks in the myelin sheath and these breaks are called as Nodes of Ranvier. When the action potential, passes down the myelinated axon, at the nodes of Ranvier the signal jumps across the nodes and this helps the signal to travel faster than if it were to travel down a non-myelinated axon."

The nervous system helps maintain homeostasis by directing the body to respond appropriately to the information it receives. Because of the nervous system, your body is aware of what is occurring inside and outside of your body. The Neuron The cells that carry information through your nervous system are called neurons, or nerve cells. The message that a neuron carries is called a nerve impulse."

Identify which component (s) of the neurological system are affected (e.g. motor, sensory, cranial nerves, or possibly several systems simultaneously). If possible, determine the precise location of the problem (e.g. peripheral v central nervous system; region and side of the brain affected etc.). On the basis of these findings, generate a list of possible etiologies. Unlikely diagnoses can be excluded and appropriate testing (e.g. brain and spinal cord imaging) then applied in an orderly and logical fashion. Screening for the presence of discrete abnormalities in patients at risk for the development of neurological disorders. This is appropriate for individuals who have no particular subjective symptoms suggestive of a neurological problem, yet have systemic illnesses that might put them at risk for subtle dysfunction."

"text": "Clinical Exam The afferent part of the PLR shares some common pathways (up to the level of the optic tract) with the visual pathways. While axons involved in vision reach the conscious level after synapse with the lateral geniculate nucleus, the axons involved in the PLR synapse with a third neuron in the pretectal nucleus . Most of the axons arising from this nucleus decussate again and synapse in the parasympathetic component of the oculomotor nucleus (ipsilateral to the stimulated eye) in the mesencephalon. There are also neurons that do not decussate and which project to the oculomotor nucleus on the contralateral side of the stimulated eye. The proportion of axons that decussate is higher than the one that do not decussate. This explains why the direct response is greater than the consensual response. Anatomy Clinical Response - The direct response is seen in the eye which is stimulated by light and pupil constriction is stronger in this eye than in the opposite eye (consensual response). Afferent Pathway - Stimulation of the retinal receptors by light initiate an impulse which is transmitted from the eye via the optic nerve, with the majority then crossing over at the optic chiasm to the contralateral optic tract. Efferent Pathway - The efferent pathway begins in the parasympathetic nucleus of cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) located in the midbrain (mesencephalon) on the stimulated side. The oculomotor nerve leaves the skull via the orbital fissure and synapses behind the eye in the ciliary ganglion."

"text": "Ch.10 Somatic and Special Senses10.1 -Introduction Somatic Senses Somatic Senses are the the components of the central and peripheral nervous systems that receive and interpret sensory information from organs in the joints, ligaments, muscles, and skin. This system processes information about the length, degree of stretch, tension, and contraction of muscles; pain; temperature; pressure; and joint position. Special Senses Special senses consist of the eyes, ears, nose, throat and skin. Each of these organs have specialized functions that make if possible for humans to experience and interact with the environment.-vision (the eye)-hearing and balance (ears)-sound (nose)-taste (the tongue)Sensory Receptors function to detect changes in the environment and stimulate neurons to send nerve impulses to the brain Thalia Martin-Williams10.2 Receptors and Sensations Sensory Receptors are categorized into 5 types according to their sensitivities: Chemoreceptors: Stimulated by changes in the chemical concentration of substances Painreceptors: Stimulated by tissue damage Thermoreceptors: Stimulated by changes in temperature Mechanoreceptors: Stimulated by changes in pressure or movement Photoreceptors: Stimulated by light energy Sensations: A sensation is a feeling that occurs when the brain interprets sensory impulses The nerve impulses that travel away from the receptors into the central nervous system are similar, because of this the resulting sensation depends on what part of the brain recieves the impulse. The cerebral cortex causes the sensation to seem to come from the stimulated receptors. This is called Projection, because the brain projects the sensation to its apparent source. This allows a person to pinpoint the region of stimulation. Sensory Adaptation: Sensory Adaptation is the ability to ignore unimportant stimuli. This is important because the brain needs a way to prioritize the sensory input it recieves or it would be overwhelmed with unimportant information. Sensory Adapation may involve receptors becoming unresponsive (peripheral adaptation) or inhibition along the central nervous system pathways leading to the sensory regions of the cerebral cortex.10.3 Somatic Senses Somatic senses are associated with receptors in the skin, muscles, joints, and viscera (organs within the body)."

In addition to inflicting a painful bite, mosquitoes can transmit diseases. You can keep your local mosquito population under control by limiting their habitat on your property, and avoid their annoying bites by using the right barriers and repellents. Don't Let Mosquitoes Breed Mosquitoes require water to breed. Adult mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant or slow moving water, or on moist soil or leaf litter in areas likely to collect water. By eliminating these water sources, you can keep new generations of mosquitoes from taking up residence in your yard. Follow these tips to prevent mosquitoes from breeding around your home:1. Drill holes in the bottom, not the sides, of any garbage or recycling containers stored outdoors. Holes on the sides still allow enough water to accumulate in the bottom for mosquitoes to breed.2. Keep gutters clean and unclogged."

"text": "\"What Is The Best Angle For Solar Panels? Twitter Google+ Linked In Pinterest November 12th, 2015 by Derek Markham Originally published on Cost of Solar. A home solar array is only as useful as it is appropriately sized, oriented, and installed. A poorly-matched system installed in a suboptimal location can be a big disappointment, so it’s important to pay attention to a lot of little details when planning to go solar. Even if you hire a top-notch solar installer, someone who should know way more about solar panel angles and optimal panel orientation and array capacity than you do, if you want to get the best system possible for your home, it can pay to understand the ins and outs of producing solar electricity. One of the key considerations when installing an array of solar panels, after assessing the structural soundness of the roof, is the direction that the roof is tilted, as well as the angle, or pitch, of the roof. A roof can be repaired or reinforced before installation if it’s damaged, but you can’t do much about the location, orientation, or pitch of the roof, short of moving to a new house, so knowing where and when and for how long the sun hits the potential location of the solar array is important. Because that is variable throughout the year, just as power consumption is variable throughout the day, it can be confusing when trying to pin down the ‘best’ solar panel angle and array orientation. We’re all pretty aware that the sun appears to move through the sky during the day, from east to west, and that the days are longer (more hours of sunlight) in the summer, with shorter days (fewer hours of sunlight) in the winter. But there’s another variable when it comes to the sun’s energy, and that is the angle of inclination that the sun takes (its ‘height’ in the sky), which also shifts gradually throughout the year, so not only do we have to capture the most energy we can from a sun that’s moving across the sky, but one that’s also moving higher or lower in the sky, depending on the season."

But the uniform and its protective pads are a necessary part of playing football, something any player would be foolhardy to take the field without. Why the need for all this protection? Well, the NFL is made up of players ranging in weight from 150 to 360 pounds and in height from 5’5″ to 6’9″. Some of these assorted sizes are able to bench press 550 pounds and run the 40-yard dash in as fast as 4.2 seconds. Because of the varied weights, sizes, strengths, and speeds of NFL players, the best protection possible is necessary. Smaller players want to be able to play without worrying about being crushed by all those large bodies. The jersey The jersey is the uniform’s shirt. The jersey is basically each player’s identity and marks his allegiance to a specific team. The jersey must be large enough to cover the shoulder pads.

But some vans are more practical than others. To help out with your decision-making process, we've put together a list of the 10 features we consider the most important to have in these family-centered vehicles, plus some bonus goodies. We've eliminated basics like rear air-conditioning controls and dual sliding doors that are standard fare on most, if not all, modern-day minivans, and concentrated on more recent innovations that you won't find in every van on the market. The features are arranged in no particular order. We've listed the minivans that are available with each feature — either as standard equipment or as a factory option.1. Adjustable pedals or telescoping steering wheel: People come in all sizes, and in order to be a sane parent, you've got to be able to find a safe, comfortable position behind the wheel. Adjustable pedals are a big help for those of shorter stature, as they allow you to bring the pedals closer without having to move the entire seat forward. A telescoping steering wheel performs much the same function (you're moving the wheel closer or farther from your body), but even taller adults will find that it allows them to tailor a driving position to their liking. In an ideal world, minivans would include both features, but for now, several models offer one or the other."

"text": "How car A/C works A car’s A/C works much in the same way a residential air conditioning system works, but on a much smaller scale. The first and most important element is refrigerant. In the case of most vehicles built after the 1990s, the refrigerant of choice is R134a. It’s less damaging to the environment, the ozone layer in particular, than its pre-1990s predecessor, R12 (also known by the brand-name Freon). A car’s A/C depends on the thermodynamic properties associated with these operating within a closed loop under the correct pressure.1. The thermodynamic properties of refrigerant gases under pressurization is a complex process, but in a nutshell, when refrigerant in its cool liquid form is exposed to warm air, it evaporates into a gas and absorbs or removes heat from the surrounding environment. This occurs in an A/C component in the car known as the evaporator. It’s important to note here that an A/C system doesn’t technically produce cool air, it removes heat from the air via the evaporator, then relies on the car’s blower and air ducts to blow cool air out into the cabin.2. Now that the refrigerant has removed heat from the cabin, the hot refrigerant in gas form then travels to a separate part of the system, where the gas is compressed by the compressor.3. Already heated by absorbing heat through the evaporator, the compression process creates even more heat."

This doesn’t mean they will be unavailable, it just means that Audi is not yet prepared to release the details for these models for the 2013 model year. Both models are scheduled to receive their refresh relatively soon and this likely bolsters expectations for the updates to come out soon. We have painstakingly gone through this and done our best to highlight the changes that we have noticed from the 2012 guide. A3: Brings no changes until 2014 when the Sedan enters the market.

As we all know that light is essential for various activities and shadows are intrinsically connected with light. Light is inseparable from the notion of form and space and so is shadow from light. Throughout the world architects have strived to marvel the use of natural light, but seldom do they consider the shadowed areas caused due to that light. The ambience of a space is affected by the quality of light and shadows. Treatment of light and shadows has been a typical feature of traditional Japanese architecture which understands and lays importance to the design of areas in shade from a source of light.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Energy Energy Conservation What effect does friction have on a moving object? Flag What effect does friction have on a moving object? Answer by Knapp1 Confidence votes 27.6KAll kinds of friction cause moving objects to slow down or stop. Friction can be quantified as a force resisting motion which is proportional to the weight of the object, for an object lying on a flat surface. The frictional force is found by multiplying the objects weight by a coefficient of friction, which is usually less than one, but can be higher than one (for example with rubber tyres on dry tarmac). Therefore friction requires a greater force to be applied to move the object. A similar coefficient called the drag coefficient is used to quantify air resistance in vehicles and aircraft-the faster you go the higher the frictional force, in this case. Friction is a force that acts against a moving object to slow it down. A type of friction is air resistance. Friction opposes the direction in which the object is moving, causing the object to decrease in speed, or stop all together.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Man keeps trying so many techniques to reduce friction in any process, but he also realises that without friction none of his work would have been possible. Life would have been impossible without the aid of friction. Yet friction is termed as an evil. Without friction one can't walk, write, sit on a chair without slipping off or for that matter, even properly hold on to his or her morning cup of tea. A baseball player rubs against the ground while sliding into the home plate, a sports car creates friction when it rolls across the floor and the wheels rubbing against the floor causes the car to slow down and stop. In both of these cases, it's the friction which makes the moving body slow down and stop. Some surfaces with many grooves and bumps can cause a lot of friction while a surface with very little grooves and bumps can cause very little or no friction at all.

It exists in both liquids and gases and is essentially a friction force between different layers of fluid as they move past one another. Viscosity is a property of the fluid which opposes the relative motion between the two surfaces of the fluid in a fluid that are moving at different In liquids the viscosity is due to the cohesive forces between the molecules whilst in gases the viscosity is due to collisions between the molecules. Ideal fluid is fluid having no resistance to shear stress. Zero viscosity is observed only at very low temperatures in superfluid. Otherwise all fluids carries positive viscosity and hence said viscous or viscid. A fluid with a relatively high viscosity, such aspitch, may appear to be a solid. Visit What is Viscosity ?

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Math and Arithmetic Geometry How does an inclined plane reduce effort force? Flag How does an inclined plane reduce effort force? Answer by The Robotics Co Op Confidence votes 1.4KThe short answer is: it lets gravity do some of the work for you. The long answer is: an object at rest on a LEVEL surface can be described as having a sum of forces acting upon it that are in equilibrium, the more pertinent ones being the force due to gravity (pulling it straight down, in this case perpendicular to the plane) and the force of friction (which just doesn't want to let it move in any horizontal direction WHILE the object is in contact with the plane). When we tilt (or incline) the surface the object is resting on (the plane), gravity is still pulling straight down and friction still doesn't want it to slide, but now gravity is working against friction (or more specifically, part of the force due to gravity is now acting in one direction not perpendicular to the plane). So now, if we push the object (effort force) downhill, we don't have to push as hard as when it was level, because some of the force of gravity is already working in the same direction. If we are able to control the incline, and can gradually increase the angle, we will eventually find the angle where gravity overcomes friction and the object starts to slide on its own (IMPORTANT safety consideration here: don't use breakable objects or planes that shouldn't be scratched. When I used a flat rock on mom's glass table she got SO mad!). From this basic set of information we can start investigating many things, such as; how much friction force exists between two types of objects, surface area of contact, lubricants, does distance from the center of the earth change the angle where it overcomes friction, moving frames of reference, ...

[ 4]When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (that is, it converts work to heat ). This property can have dramatic consequences, as illustrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire."

All considerations of motion are addressed by mechanics, as well as the transmission of forces through the use of simple machines. In our class, the goal is a mechanical goal (placing blocks into a bin) and electronics are used to control the mechanics. While it is not necessary to sit down and draw free body diagrams or figure out the static coefficient of friction between the LEGO tires and the game board, it is helpful to keep certain mechanical concepts in mind when constructing a robot. If a robot's tires are spinning because they do not grip the floor, then something must be done to increase the friction between the tires and the floor. One solution is to glue a rubber band around the circumference of the tire. That problem/solution did not require an in-depth study of physics. Simply considering the different possibilities can lead to more mechanically creative robots. Describing motion involves more than just saying that an object moved three feet to the right. The magnitude and direction of the displacement are important, but so are the characteristics of the object's velocity and acceleration."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Physics Which direction does the friction force act on bicycle tires? Both front and rear.? The bike's tires are both moving in the anticlockwise direction.5 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In bicycle, pedalling is done on rear wheel. This means that we try to rotate the rear wheel to move forward. The rear wheel pushes the ground backwards and gets the forward frictional force which pushes the bicycle forward. The front wheel is being pushed forward (through the connecting rod between the rear and front wheels) which results in the backward frictional force on its tire which rotate it in the same direction as the rear wheel. The static frictional force which acts on both the wheels is a friendly force that helps the bicycle move without loss of energy. Energy loss is due to rolling friction which is backwards on both the wheels. Conclusion: Backward static frictional force (opposite to the direction of motion) on the front wheel and forward static frictional force (in the direction of motion) on the rear wheel. Rolling frictional force is backwards on both the wheels."

With the exception of falling bodies and projectiles (which involve some mysterious thing called gravity) the factors affecting this motion were never discussed. It is now time to expand our studies to include the quantities that affect motion — mass and force. The mathematical description of motion that includes these quantities is called dynamics. Many introductory textbooks often define a force as \"\"a push or a pull\"\". This is a reasonable informal definition to help you conceptualize a force, but it is a terrible operational definition. What is \"\"a push or a pull\"\"? How would you measure such a thing? Most importantly, how does \"\"a push or a pull\"\" relate to the other quantities already defined in this book?

If you suspend an object from any point, let it go and allow it to come to rest, the center of gravity will lie along a vertical line that passes through the point of suspension. Unless you've been exceedingly careful in balancing the object, the center of gravity will generally lie below the suspension point. The center of gravity is an important point to know, because when you're solving problems involving large objects, or unusually-shaped objects, the weight can be considered to act at the center of gravity. In other words, for many purposes you can assume that object is a point with all its weight concentrated at one point, the center of gravity. For any object, the x-position of the center of gravity can be found by considering the weights and x-positions of all the pieces making up the object: A similar equation would allow you to find the y position of the center of gravity. The center of mass of an object is generally the same as its center of gravity. Very large objects, large enough that the acceleration due to gravity varies in different parts of the object, are the only ones where the center of mass and center of gravity are in different places. Neat facts about the center of gravity Fact 1 - An object thrown through the air may spin and rotate, but its center of gravity will follow a smooth parabolic path, just like a ball. Fact 2 - If you tilt an object, it will fall over only when the center of gravity lies outside the supporting base of the object."

Theoretical Backgraund: The interaction between various objects is responsible for a whole variety of phenomena in our Physical World. If no interaction existed, our world would be a bunch of objects performing Uniform Motion in accordance with Newton's 1st law. We could not even perceive such a world because our perceptions are associated with our interaction with the external environment. For example, vision is due to interaction with light. In fact, we would not even exist because no forces would bind the constituents of our organisms together. What a boring situation!So Force is one of the central physical concepts. It is not possible for us to trace out all the possible means by which various forces act, and what are all the implications. However, we will consider a specific situation that can be studied completely. This is based on the observation that a force applied to a single object produces acceleration of this object."

"text": "Physics Forces Types of Forces Friction Types of Friction Sliding Friction Sliding Friction What you observe when we run down on slider and we want to stop on puddle? Here is Friction. So friction is everywhere when two objects are come in contact with each other. We can take a simple example when we stop our car at stop sign then it slows down due to presence of friction between applied breaks and the wheels. Thus, the force which is acted in opposite direction where an object wants to slide is called friction. If we run on the sidewalk and stop immediately then we stop due to presence of friction between sidewalk and shoes but when it is on puddle then there is also friction because the surface is smoother due to presence of liquid. It does not effect on friction. The less value of friction makes hard to stop. The car accidents are because of low friction. Friction occurs with solid object due to resistance in motion in liquids and gases."

Follow 20 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A push or pull is called force in Physics. A body is at rest if its speed is zero: it is in uniform motion if its speed is constant. The first is called state of rest and the second one is state of uniform motion. A force (push or pull) is always necessary to move a body from rest. The above statement is familiar to every one. If a body is at rest it will always be at rest unless a force acts on it. This is Newton’s one part of First law. The second part says that if an object is in uniform motion it will be always in uniform motion unless a force acts on it."

Example: \"\"We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.\"\" ( Barack Obama, First Inaugural Address) Effect: This sentence is an excerpt from Barack Obama's First Inaugural Address. The purpose of his speech was to explain to each American citizen his plans for the next four years. The main idea of the sentence is that as a nation, the United States has honored our previous leaders and documents well. The balanced sentence from his Address uses parallelism between two phrases: \"\"faithful to the ideals of our forbearers\"\" and \"\"true to our founding documents.\"\" The two ideas are parallel because they both discuss things from the past, leaders and documents. The structure of these two phrases is also similar. They both start with an adjective and the word \"\"to,\"\" and end with a noun.

Applying that to a lawsuit just filed by the FTC, there’s DIRECTV – and then there’s Deceptively Advertised DIRECTV. DIRECTV is one of the biggest names in the business with more than 20 million customers. Through TV, print, direct mail, phone, and online promotions, the company advertises satellite TV packages for as low as $19.99 a month for 12 months. What’s more, DIRECTV said premium channels like HBO and Showtime are “free for 3 months.” But according to the FTC, DIRECTV failed to adequately disclose the true nature of the deal, meaning that consumers got stuck with higher prices and unauthorized charges. The complaint offers a closer look at how the FTC says DIRECTV’s practices were misleading. For example, DIRECTV touted that eye-catching $19.99 monthly rate for 12 months of service without clearly explaining that: 1) Consumers couldn’t actually sign up for 12 months of service because DIRECTV required them to commit to 24 months; and 2) In the second year, DIRECTV typically hiked up the monthly fee by between 50-70%. Consumers who experienced bill shock at the start of that second year and wanted to cancel faced hefty termination fees. The FTC also says DIRECTV’s “free for 3 months” premium channel offer was a deceptive negative option promotion."

The question (1 issue)Edit Flags About how long does it take the moon to rotate on its axis? Answer by Greg Scott Confidence votes 46.7KThe moon takes 29.5 days to complete one synodic cycle. This cycle is what we observe from earth, and it is the cycle we would measure from, say, one full moon to the next. However, by the time a synodic cycle ends, the moon has rotated a little more than 360 degrees. This is hard to grasp and takes some time and thought. The rotation of bodies that are orbiting other bodies always presents a need to distinguish between synodic and sidereal rotation. The true, 360 degree sidereal rotation of the moon takes 27.32 earth days. See links on the moon, and on synodic and sidereal periods. __________ Note: Many erroneously conclude that since the same face of the moon always orients toward earth this means that the moon cannot be rotating."

It orbits Mars with a period of 7.3 hours, less than a Martian day. This makes the moon appear to rise in the west and set in the east. Phobos is heavily cratered with interesting parallel grooves about 150 m long and 25m deep. The grooves seem to radiate from the largest crater to an oddly shaped area on the other end of the moon. Because of this it is presumed that the grooves may have formed with the impact of the largest crater."

They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don't get quick results. Aries subjects are courageous leaders with a genuine concern for those they command, being responsible people, it is rare that they will use their subordinates to obtain their own objectives as leaders, but occasionally it does happen. They do not make very good followers because they are too \"\"take charge\"\". They may be unwilling to obey or submit to directions for which they can see no reason, or with which they disagree. They are much concerned with self, both positively and negatively - self-reliant but also self centered (sometimes) and concerned with their own personal advancement and physical satisfaction. Their immense energy makes them aggressive and restless, argumentative occasionally, headstrong, quick tempered, easily offended and capable of holding grudges if they feel themselves affronted."

Altitude of Tiangong-1 during its final year of uncontrolled reentry. [ 1]In orbital mechanics, decay is a process that leads to gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods. These orbiting bodies can be a planet and its satellite, a star and any object orbiting it, or components of any binary system. Orbits do not decay without some friction-like mechanism which robs energy from the orbital motion. This can be any of a number of mechanical, gravitational, or electromagnetic effects. For bodies in a low Earth orbit, the most significant effect is the atmospheric drag. If left unchecked, the decay eventually results in termination of the orbit when the smaller object strikes the surface of the primary; or for objects where the primary has an atmosphere, the smaller object burns, explodes, or otherwise breaks up in the larger object's atmosphere; or for objects where the primary is a star, ends with incineration by the star's radiation (such as for comets ), and so on. Collisions and mergers of two stellar-mass objects usually produce cataclysmic effects; see stellar collision and gamma-ray burst."

For this planet, the solar day is only a bit longer than that of the Earth’s day which is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds. An entire Martian year would equal 1.8809 in Earth years. Mars’ axial tilt is 25.19 degrees, which is quite similar to that of our own planet and in this way, seasons in Mars are very much like the seasons that we have here on Earth. However, on Mars, they are almost twice as long because of the fact that the planet has significantly longer years compared to us. At the moment, the orientation of Mars’ North Pole is close to Deneb. The planet has passed its perihelion in April 2009 and its aphelion in May 2007. It would reach its next perihelion in May 2011. Mars has a rather pronounced orbital eccentricity, which is about 0.09, compared to the other planets in the Solar System. The only other planet that shows greater eccentricity would be Mercury."

For retrograde motions of celestial bodies relative to a gravitationally central object, see Retrograde and prograde motion. As Earth (blue) passes a superior planet, such as Mars (red), the superior planet will temporarily appear to reverse its motion across the sky. Apparent retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point. Direct motion or prograde motion is motion in the same direction as other bodies. While the terms direct and prograde are equivalent in this context, the former is the traditional term in astronomy. The earliest recorded use of prograde was in the early 18th century, although the term is now less common. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 Apparent motion2.1 From Earth2.2 From Mercury3 See also4 References5 External links Etymology [ edit]The term retrograde is from the Latin word retrogradus – \"\"backward-step\"\", the affix retro- meaning \"\"backwards\"\" and gradus \"\"step\"\". Retrograde is most commonly an adjective used to describe the path of a planet as it travels through the night sky, with respect to the zodiac, stars, and other bodies of the celestial canopy. In this context, the term refers to planets, as they appear from Earth, to stop briefly and reverse direction at certain times though in reality, of course, we now understand that they perpetually orbit in the same uniform direction.

The only extraterrestrial sky that has been directly observed and photographed by astronauts is that of the Moon. The skies of Titan, Mars, and Venus have been observed by space probes designed to land on the surface and transmit images back to Earth. Characteristics of extraterrestrial skies appear to vary substantially due to a number of factors. An extraterrestrial atmosphere, if present, has a large bearing on visible characteristics. The atmosphere 's density and chemical composition can contribute to differences in colour, opacity (including haze) and the presence of clouds."

Article written: 12 Aug , 2016 Updated: 12 Aug , 2016 by Matt Williams For millennia, human beings stared up at the night sky and were held in awe by the Moon. To many ancient cultures, it represented a deity, and its cycles were accorded divine significance. By the time of Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the Moon was considered to be a heavenly body that orbited Earth, much like the other known planets of the day (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn). However, our understanding of moons was revolutionized when in 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei pointed his telescope to Jupiter and noticed ” four wandering stars” around Jupiter. From this point onward, astronomers have come to understand that planets other than Earth can have their own moons – in some cases, several dozen or more. So just how many moons are there in the Solar System? In truth, answering that question requires a bit of a clarification first. If we are talking about confirmed moons that orbit any of the planets of the Solar System (i.e. those that are consistent with the definition adopted by the IAU in 2006 ), then we can say that there are currently 173 known moons."

This has led to the event sometimes being referred to as a Horizontal Eclipse. It occurs during every lunar eclipse at all those places on the Earth where it is sunrise or sunset at the time of the eclipse. The reddened light that reaches the Moon comes from all the simultaneous sunrises and sunsets on the Earth and from the atmosphere of Earth bending light inwards towards the Moon. The phenomena is not a type of eclipse, nor a sub classification of any type of eclipse, it is simple a phenomena which occurs during a lunar eclipse just before sunset or just after sunrise. This phenomenon may seem like an impossibility - to be able to see both the Sun and Moon in the sky at the same time during a lunar eclipse. How is it possible? Depending on the observer’s location there is short window of one to a few minutes when it is possible to simultaneously view the sun rising in the east and the eclipsed full moon setting in the west. One or both bodies may actually be below the horizon but atmospheric refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher in the sky than they are in reality. A selenehelion phenomenon is best observed from high ground with clear unobstructed vision towards both ends of the horizon."

The presence of the moon (which has about 1/81 the mass of Earth), is slowing Earth's rotation and extending the day by about 2 milliseconds every 100 years. Tidal acceleration is an effect of the tidal forces between an orbiting natural satellite (e.g. the Moon ), and the primary planet that it orbits (e.g. Earth ). The acceleration causes a gradual recession of a satellite in a prograde orbit away from the primary, and a corresponding slowdown of the primary's rotation. The process eventually leads to tidal locking, usually of the smaller first, and later the larger body. The Earth–Moon system is the best studied case. The similar process of tidal deceleration occurs for satellites that have an orbital period that is shorter than the primary's rotational period, or that orbit in a retrograde direction. The naming is somewhat confusing, because the speed of the satellite relative to the body it orbits is decreased as a result of tidal acceleration, and increased as a result of tidal deceleration.

Word History: The Iroquois who inhabited western Pennsylvania considered the Allegheny to be the upper part of the Ohio River. Iroquois Ohio means \"\"beautiful river\"\" (oh-, \"\"river\"\" -io, \"\"good, fine, beautiful\"\"). When the Delaware, an Algonquian people, moved to western Pennsylvania in the 18th century and displaced the Iroquois, they translated Iroquoian Ohio into Delaware, yielding welhik-heny, \"\"most beautiful stream\"\" (welhik, \"\"most beautiful\"\" heny, \"\"stream\"\"). The name Welhik-heny was then anglicized as Allegheny. The Allegheny River watershed in western New York State comprises 1879 mi2 (4867 km2) just north of the state line between Pennsylvania and New York. Historically the land in the Allegheny River watershed consisted almost entirely of beech-maple, northern hardwoods, white pine and hemlock forest. Drought, fire and severe storms caused major damage in the 18th century, and exploitation in the 19th and 20th centuries depleted the remaining virgin and second growth forest (Ohio River Basin Commission 1980). The climate in the Allegheny River watershed is characterized by cold snowy winters and cool wet summers (Smith 1985). Mean annual temperatures range between 2.25 degrees C and 13.47 degres C and mean annual precipitation ranges between 85.95 and 124.71 cm (Northeast Regional Climate Center 1999)."

S. state of Pennsylvania. A controlled-access highway, it runs for 360 miles (580 km) across the state. The turnpike begins at the Ohio state line in Lawrence County, where the road continues west into Ohio as the Ohio Turnpike. It ends at the New Jersey border at the Delaware River–Turnpike Toll Bridge over the Delaware River in Bucks County, where the road continues east as the Pearl Harbor Memorial Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike. The highway runs east–west through the state, connecting the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia areas. It crosses the Appalachian Mountains in central Pennsylvania, passing through four tunnels. The turnpike is part of the Interstate Highway System; it is designated as part of Interstate 76 (I-76) between the Ohio border and Valley Forge, I-70 and I-76 between New Stanton and Breezewood, and I-276 between Valley Forge and the New Jersey border. The road uses a ticket system of tolling between the Warrendale and Neshaminy Falls toll plazas. An additional eastbound toll plaza is located at Gateway, near the Ohio border, while a cashless westbound toll plaza using toll-by-plate is located at the Delaware River Bridge."

"text": "\"Share Allegheny Mountains The Allegheny Mountains form a high region running from the Elk (4,345 feet) and Gauley (4,571 feet) mountains in Pocahontas and Randolph counties northward to the state line. The Alleghenies are marked on the east by the line of Back Allegheny (4,840 feet), Shavers (4,193 feet), and Allegheny Front (3,200 feet) mountains, and on the west by the line of Rich (3,660 feet), Laurel (2,915 feet), and Chestnut (2,600 feet) mountains. The Allegheny Mountains make up about 12 percent of West Virginia’s total area, mostly in Preston, Tucker, and Randolph counties. The Allegheny Mountains are higher than the Allegheny Plateau to the west. The mountains themselves are plateau-like with closely spaced broad summits and flat horizons. The mild folds of the bedrock throughout the mountains generally control the erosional forms, producing a weak, trellis-like stream pattern of narrow valleys similar to the well-developed broad valleys of the Ridge and Valley Province to the east. In the north the valley strips are some 300 to 500 feet deep, and in extreme cases along the Cheat River up to 1,000 feet deep, whereas in the broken ranges in the south valley depths of 1,000 feet are not uncommon. The surface of the region consists of rolling to steeply ridged hills. In Preston and Tucker counties the average elevation is close to 3,000 feet, and Randolph, where two-thirds of the county is in slopes steeper than 20 percent, may be referred to as entirely mountainous. Settlement in the Allegheny Mountains dates from 1753, when the Eckarly brothers settled on the Cheat River near Kingwood."

From each tiny stream to the giant river itself, the waterways are seeking sea level. All converge into the main trunk of the lower Mississippi River. One could put a note in a bottle and place it in a tiny brook in western New York. That bottle could drift down the brook and enter the Allegheny River, then into the Ohio River at Pittsburgh. It could follow the Ohio River to the Mississippi River at its confluence at Cairo, Illinois. From there it could eventually pass by New Orleans and drift into the Gulf of Mexico."

As of 2017, a total population of 305,704 lives within the city limits, making it the 63rd- largest city in the U. S. [2] [5] The metropolitan population of 2,353,045 is the largest in both the Ohio Valley and Appalachia, the second-largest in Pennsylvania (behind Philadelphia ), and the 26th-largest in the U. S. Located at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, Pittsburgh is known as both \"\"the Steel City\"\" for its more than 300 steel -related businesses, and as the \"\"City of Bridges\"\" for its 446 bridges. [ 6] The city features 30 skyscrapers, two inclined railways, a pre-revolutionary fortification and the Point State Park at the confluence of the rivers. The city developed as a vital link of the Atlantic coast and Midwest, as the mineral-rich Allegheny Mountains made the area coveted by the French and British empires, Virginians, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders. [ 7]Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics. [ 8] For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U. S. stockholders per capita. ["

Prior to about 1760, north of Spanish Florida, the Appalachian Divide, according to the French Crown, represented the boundary between British and French colonial possessions in North America. [ a] The English contested the claims and the border throughout much of the 1600s as they absorbed the Dutch and Swede settlers and grew in population as the Amerindians died off from epidemic disease and internecine warfare [1] over the Beaver fur trade.

"text": "\"The Lost Rivers of the Garden of Eden - Found The quest for pinpointing the exact location of the Biblical Garden of Eden and the four rivers almost rivals the quest for the location of fabled Atlantis. And the theories that abound are almost as numerous as the interpretations of the seven days of Genesis. Before tackling this question let's review what is written in Genesis about the four rivers: And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. ( Genesis 2:10-14 KJV)The Bible says that a single river flowed \"\" out \"\" of Eden and then does something that most rivers DO NOT do; specifically, split into four separate \"\" heads \"\" or rivers that flowed downstream, all fed from a common single river source. Almost all rivers start from a single source or are fed by multiple sources (tributaries). For example, the Ohio River actually begins where two rivers (the Monongahela and Allegheny) flow together at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania."

By Air Washington Dulles International Airport is the biggest and busiest in the area, located about 30 minutes west of DC in Virginia. For information on Dulles Airport Parking, visit DCParking.org. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), located in Arlington, Virginia, is the closest to the city center, making it a convenient choice if you’re staying in the downtown area. But you’ll find fewer flight options here because a short runway limits the size of aircraft that can fly in and out of the airport and Federal regulations limit the number of long distance flights allowed. Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) may be farther away – about 30 minutes east of DC by highway – but don’t let the distance fool you, and there are public transportation options available. This is can be a convenient and occasionally less expensive option to DCA, but consider the time and expense required to travel between BWI and DC."

"text": "Visiting the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial By Stefan Fussan Wander through this sprawling memorial, uniquely designed to guide visitors through FDR’s four presidential terms. A visit to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is to be transported to a trying time in American history, an era rife with economic depression and international conflict. The memorial, which honors the 32nd president of the United States, is composed of four “rooms” which represent each of President Roosevelt’s four terms as commander in chief. Bronze sculptures of the president, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, his trusty canine and First Pet Fala, as well as scenes from the Great Depression of fireside chats and waiting in bread lines are surrounded by engravings of 21 famous quotes and waterfalls cascading over red South Dakota granite. The memorial provides an in-depth experience and unparalleled insight into the trials and tribulations of America’s longest serving president. Planning your visit to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial The FDR Memorial, which is located along the National Mall 's Tidal Basin in between the Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jefferson memorials, opened to the public in 1997 and is maintained by the National Park Service. Like all the monuments and memorials on the National Mall, the FDR Memorial is free and open to the public. The memorial is also the first on the National Mall to be built wheelchair accessible. Given its location on the Tidal Basin among the cherry blossom trees, it is especially popular to visit during the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The most convenient way to get to the memorial is by taking the Metrorail."

C.. With a population of 210,000, yet a land area of only about 26 square miles, Arlington is one of America's mostly densely populated jurisdictions [59]. Despite its density, Arlington mixes the best of both big city and suburban environments. No incorporated towns or cities lie within Arlington County borders; all local government is at the county level. Arlington has seen continual growth as the DC area has continued to grow, even during nation-wide economic downturns. This is mostly due to the large number of employees of the federal government and its contractors. Understand [ edit]Rosslyn's skyline, viewed from D. C. Arlington is part of the original \"\"ten miles square\"\" which the US Constitution dedicated as Washington DC, the nation's capital. In the 1840's, as a result of issues relating to congressional representation, slavery, and the economy, the US Congress returned the part of Washington south of the Potomac river to Virginia; the majority of this land today forms Arlington County. Most travelers to Arlington will visit both Washington DC and Arlington, and the two cities are seamlessly linked together by the Metro system. Arlington has maintained a healthy balance of urban and suburban life through its self-proclaimed \"\"Arlington Way\"\" [60] of policy making. A large percentage of residents are involved in grassroots political and urban planning processes."

"text": "\"04-08-2014, 07:54 AMBorntoolate85 Location: Terramaria575 posts, read 635,556 times Reputation: 659Advertisements I found a study on this link that ranks shopping malls into three classes, with some of my own opinions on them. Class \"\"A\"\" malls generally gross the most profitable returns and have a good number of quality retailers in them, typically at least one upscale department store and good tenants such as an Apple store, and are viewed as a positive draw for the region. There are some quality food options with a nice diversity and even some adjacent sit-in places. There is usually a good selection of entertainment options, from cinemas to play areas to some community events. Class \"\"B\"\" malls are sort of the blue-collar version of the Class \"\"A\"\" mall, typically just anchored with Sears, JC Penney, and a Macy's, but with the Macy's lacking the quality stuff sold at the \"\"A\"\" malls. A dollar store is usually featured, but you'll still have stuff like Foot Locker, Radio Shack and perhaps a Victoria's Secret. Income returns are generally a mixed bag. There may be a few vacancies for some of the tenants, but only a few and all anchor spaces are open. An alternative tenant or two is possible as described under Class \"\"C\"\". Class \"\"C\"\" malls are those that are struggling and at risk of becoming a dead mall."

The most visited National Park Service site in the city is an homage to the 16th president of the United States, who helped to preserve the Union during the Civil War and delivered the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation. The Basics Few travelers to DC leave without seeing the Lincoln Memorial. Whether you’d like an up-close encounter or want to see it from afar, the site can be visited as part of most Washington DC tours, including a bike tour of the mall, a morning monuments tour, a DC night tour, and a bus tour combined with a cruise on the Potomac River. Things to Know Before You Go Free audio guided tours are available by mobile phone or through the National Mall visitor’s app. National Park Service rangers are available from 9:30am to 10pm every day to answer questions. The Lincoln Memorial is wheelchair accessible. On the southeast corner, ramps lead from street level to the basement, where an elevator goes up to the statue chamber.

"text": "\"What is a Brushless DC Motor? A Brushless DC Motor (also known as a BLDC Motor), is a synchronous electric motor powered by a direct current. As the name implies, the Brushless DC Motor does not operate using brushes; rather it operates with a controller via electronic commutation. Block Diagram for a Brushless DC Motor How does a Brushless DC Motor Work? A Brushless DC Motor is operated by means of an electronic six-step commutation system. Unlike its Brush DC Motor counterparts, the Brushless DC Motor does not contain any carbon brushes. Instead, the electromagnets within the motor remain stationary along with the armature, while the encased permanent magnets rotate, generating torque. The Brushless DC Motor is synchronous; both the stator and the magnetic field generate the same frequency, therefore avoiding any type of \"\"slip\"\" most induction motors exhibit. What is Six-Step Commutation? Six-step commutation is a cost-effective means of electronic commutation, due to the simple and relatively inexpensive feedback and drive devices."

"text": "\"Travel United States Washington, D. C. What is the best airport to fly into Washington, DC? Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It depends on where you're staying. As someone pointed out, National is nice because there are no shuttles between the gates and the terminal, and there's a Metro station right outside that serves the Blue and Yellow lines. But it's usually the most expensive option, and flights are limited. BWI, near Baltimore, typically has inexpensive flights and is easy to get from the gates to the bag claim and terminal. There's the B30 express bus every 40 minutes that takes you to the Greenbelt Metro station on the Green Line. I have never taken MARC to the airport, but I know that it stops at Union Station on the Red Line. Dulles is a toughie. It's out in the middle of nowhere, has the mobile lounges between the terminal and the gates that can take some serious time, and you have to take the Washington Flyer bus ($9 one way and $16 round trip) to the West Falls Church station (Orange Line). My boyfriend has tried the 5A express bus, which goes to Rosslyn (Blue and Orange) and L'Enfant Plaza (Blue, Orange, Green, and Yellow), but didn't like it as it doesn't have luggage racks."

You'll see the Capitol Visitors Center from Union Station which sits at one extreme of the National Mall, so it's just a few blocks walk to that end and a nice walk though it. If you'd rather Metro, you'll exit the train portion of Union Station to the Metro side on one end. Take the Metro to the Smithsonian Exit which ends near the Smithsonian Castle Visitor History and which is closer to the Washington Monument.

DC offers a glimpse into our nations history as well as a lot of free attractions. This makes DC an ideal location for this challenge. The Dates Plan this trip for June 8-June 10 to match our prices. Prices are very time-sensitive for this trip. You can save $10/nt at the hotel just by the day you stay so when planning your own trip, make sure to be flexible and test options. The Hotel You’ll find the best rates if you avoid staying in DC proper and stay on the outskirts of the city. When I last stayed in DC I stayed on the Virginia side and found it very agreeable. For this trip, I’m recommending the Americana Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. Your hotel room will cost an average of $100/nt and offers a mini-fridge, continental breakfast and free parking if you choose to drive into town. Budget $220.50 for your hotel room."

Many introductory textbooks often define a force as \"\"a push or a pull\"\". This is a reasonable informal definition to help you conceptualize a force, but it is a terrible operational definition.

In an attempt to tighten the loosened steel head of a hammer, a carpenter holds the hammer vertically, raises it up, and then brings it down rapidly, hitting the bottom end of the wood handle on a board. Explain how this tightens the head back onto the handle. While the hammer handle and head are moving downward, they both have motion. This seems like an obvious and redundant statement, but it's the important piece of this puzzle. The force gets exerted on the handle (by the board), so it gets accelerated to a stop, but the head of the hammer still has motion. It continues to move until the handle accelerates it to a stop, which only happens as the head moves downward.6. When a car begins to move forward, what force makes it do so? Remember that it has to be an external force -- the internal forces all add to zero. How does the engine facilitate the propelling force?"

In common usage, velocity and acceleration both can imply having considerable speed. In physics, they are sharply defined concepts that are not at all synonymous. Distinguishing clearly between them is a prerequisite to understanding motion. Moreover, an easy way to study motion is to draw a motion diagram, in which the position of the object in motion is sketched at several equally spaced instants of time, and these sketches (or snapshots) are combined into one single picture. In this problem, we make use of these concepts to study the motion of a power ball. This discussion assumes that we have already agreed on a coordinate system from which to measure the position of objects as a function of time. Letand (also called the position vector)be velocity and acceleration, respectively. Harvaran Ghai Consider the motion of a power ball that is dropped on the floor and bounces back.

For example, when a stone is released, it falls down because it is pulled by the Earth’s force of gravity. During the impact it bends the blades of grass that it falls on — the force of the weight of the stone is making them move and change their shape. Force is a vector, meaning that it has a direction. When several forces are acting on an object and pulling it in different directions, these forces may be in equilibrium, meaning that their vector sum is zero. In this case, the object would be at rest. The stone from the earlier example may roll after it hits the ground, but it will eventually stop. The force of gravity is still pulling it down, but at the same time the normal force, or ground reaction force, is pushing the stone up. The net sum of these forces is zero, they are in equilibrium, and the stone is not moving. The SI unit of force is the newton."

[ 1] A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest ), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newtons and represented by the symbol F. The original form of Newton's second law states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes with time. If the mass of the object is constant, this law implies that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Concepts related to force include: thrust, which increases the velocity of an object; drag, which decreases the velocity of an object; and torque, which produces changes in rotational speed of an object."

The minimum height of a stone is 4.5 inches (110 mm). Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling. Author: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File: Curlingrock.jpg On the base of the curling stone there is a thin annulus called the running band, which supports the weight of the stone. Thus, the running band is the part of the stone in contact with the ice. It is in the shape of a ring, about 12 cm in diameter."

Positive work means the force helped the object move through the displacement. Negative work means it didn't help the object move through the displacement. ( 2) work can only be done by forces that are parallel to path of the object. This means that if you have a force that is perpendicular to the path that force does no work."

"text": "How does air move? Posted on February 5, 2013 | 3 Comments Fundamentally, there are three real forces that can act on an air parcel: Gravity, friction, and pressure-gradient. Gravity and friction probably make the most intuitive sense to you by now because they are heavily stressed in high school physics. As a brief refresher, the force of gravity tends to pull objects, in this case air parcels, towards the center of the Earth, and friction tends to act in the opposite direction of an air parcels’ velocity. Many times, we only care about horizontal transport of air parcels in the troposphere, and so, gravity is omitted in calculations because it acts perpendicular to the surface of Earth. In a similar manner, since we often only care about this horizontal transport in the upper Troposphere, where interactions with a rugged surface are not common, we also neglect friction. That leaves us with only the pressure-gradient force to worry about. The concept of pressure-gradient force is actually quite simple. Imagine a glass tank consisting of two equally sized chambers separated by a wall. If we then fill the two chambers with unequal amounts of water (i.e. one water level is higher than the other), then we can deduce that the water pressure at the bottom of the chamber with more water in it will be higher than that of the chamber with less water in it."

She was the tallest structure when she was first erected in 1886. At that time, Lady Liberty was more of a brown copper color, like the American penny but, in time, the copper oxidized and turned blue-green, the color she became known for. It took about 30 years for that oxidation to set in and change the color of the statue completely."

"text": "\"The Goddess of Freedom: from Libertas to Lady Libertyby Selena Fox The honoring of the Goddess of Freedom began more than two thousand years ago among the ancient Romans. They called Her, Libertas, the Latin word for Freedom. Libertas signified freedom of action, freedom from restraint, independence, rights, and related forms of personal and social liberty. The Roman religion had a large and complex pantheon with a great assortment of Goddesses, Gods, and other sacred forms. Ancient Romans revered and deified certain values, known as Virtues, and Libertas was one of the most important of these. A few of the more than two dozen other private and public Virtues were Hope (Spes), Justice (Justica), Piety (Pietas), and Courage (Virtus). According to their religion, Roman citizens were to uphold Virtues in their personal lives as well as in the culture as a whole. Libertas as a deity usually took the form of a Goddess. A temple to Her on the Aventine Hill in Rome was dedicated around 238 BCE. Sometimes She merged with the chief Roman God Jupiter, in the form of Jupiter Libertas, whose feast was celebrated on April 13."

Crammed onto a crowded boat, immigrants from Europe spent days, weeks, crossing the Atlantic. Finally, New York and the New World came into view, and a very significant part of that view would have been the gigantic copper Lady Liberty, holding aloft a torch. Most making the journey were fleeing from desperate times in the hope of a new start, a new life. The Statue of Liberty was the first symbol of that, welcoming the newcomers. On the way to Ellis Island, right next to Bedloe (now Liberty) Island where the statue stands, the boats would have passed right by. Gasping, cheering, or just stunned silence, the passengers would have gazed upwards in astonishment at the 93-metre-high statue. Soon after, they disembarked on Ellis Island, where immigration officials gave them a “yes” or “no”."

"text": "Feminist Philosophy of Law First published Tue May 19, 2009; substantive revision Tue Oct 24, 2017Feminist philosophy of law identifies the pervasive influence of patriarchy and masculinist norms on legal structures and demonstrates their effects on the material conditions of women and girls and those who many not conform to cisgender norms. It also considers problems at the intersection of sexuality and law and develops reforms to correct gender injustice, exploitation, or restriction. To these ends, feminist philosophy of law applies insights from feminist epistemology, relational metaphysics and progressive social ontology, feminist political theory, and other developments in feminist philosophy to understand how legal institutions enforce dominant gendered and masculinist norms. Contemporary feminist philosophy of law also draws from diverse scholarly perspectives such as international human rights theory, postcolonial theory, critical legal studies, critical race theory, queer theory, and disability studies. Addressing the goals of feminist philosophy of law requires theory development, conceptual analysis, and conceptual revision. Promoting freedom and equality for women reflects a profound shift in basic assumptions about the nature of women and their proper place in the world: a shift from inequality to equality of the sexes, along with re-examination of what equality itself requires. It also requires re-examination of the understanding of sex, gender, and gender roles. Given the scope and detail of this change, feminist legal theory proceeds on multiple levels, from the pragmatic, concrete, and particular to the conceptual and ultimately visionary. Some of this writing appears in philosophy journals and monographs, but much also appears in journals in gender studies and feminism, generalist law reviews, and the many specialist law journals devoted to issues of gender and justice. This article begins with a brief overview of fundamental themes of feminist legal theory, followed by discussion of the evolution of views about needed institutional changes in several substantive areas of law: political equality, immigration, and citizenship; marriage, reproductive rights, and commodification of the body; protection from violence; and economic rights.1."

Part of the deal was that the Americans would be responsible for the base and the French would take care of the statue. Trouble was, both sides were short of money. The French didn’t finish constuction of the statue until 1884 and the Americans didn’t get done with the base until April 1885. With the base complete, the French shipped that statue across the Atlantic to New York. But it was too big to send over in tact, so it had to be divided into 350 sections that were placed in 214 crates. Finally, on this date in 1885 .

Public health law is experiencing a renaissance. Once fashionable during the Industrial and Progressive eras, the ideals of population health began to wither in the late 20th century. In their place came a sharpened focus on personal and economic freedom. Political attention shifted from population health to individual health and from public health programs to private medicine. Signs of revitalization of the field of public health law can be seen in diverse national and global contexts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created a center of excellence in public health law—the Center for Law & the Public’s Health ( www.publichealthlaw.net )—and other nations have followed suit. In the aftermath of September 11 and the anthrax attacks, the CDC requested the drafting of the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, now adopted in whole or in part by 37 states. A consortium of state and federal partners then drafted the “Turning Point” Model Public Health Act, which outlines a modern mission, core functions, and essential services for public health agencies. At the global level, the World Health Organization (WHO) is revising the International Health Regulations and preparing a WHO Model Public Health Act to Advance the Millennium Development Goals."

There have been a few different designs used by the mint in its silver dollars. In particular, the Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars are among the most well-known of these designs. The use of silver as a base metal for coinage is ancient; the rarity of the metal makes for a stable value. Precious coins have what is called a “melt value,” or the core price of the weight of the metals used in the striking of the coin, which provides a guaranteed price. Coin collectors and investors seek out U. S. silver coins like the Morgan and Peace dollars for their aesthetic value, historic significance, and persistent value. A coin is considered by collectors and investors to be a “true” silver coin if it has a purity of at least 90%. Several U. S. coin lines have been made with this standard.

"text": "\"The Equation of Time is a way of quantifying the variable part of the difference between time kept by an ordinary electrical or mechanical clock, keeping civil time, and the time kept by the Sun, such as what a sundial would read. Technically, the Equation of Time is the difference apparent solar time minus mean solar time, but to understand what that means, we need to understand what the two kinds of time represent. Introduction Apparent and Mean Solar Time Is Civil Time the same as Mean Solar Time? The Equation of Time What Causes the Equation of Time? Introduction First, it is important to realize that all of our modern timekeeping systems ultimately have been based on the apparent daily motion of celestial objects in the sky, with the Sun playing the leading role. That apparent motion is of course caused by the Earth's rotation. Objects in the sky appear to move over us from east to west, because the Earth is rotating from west to east. It is actually our horizon that is moving, not the sky, but we perceive it the other way. There is an important detail to this familiar daily pattern: all solar system objects are moving in orbits around the Sun, so the planets have their own motions in the sky in addition to that caused by the Earth's rotation (the word planet is derived from a Greek word meaning wanderer ). Furthermore, since the Earth is also in orbit around the Sun, we see all celestial objects from a slightly different vantage point each day."

This is the number one most-asked question I get. And the answer is... Yes. A probability of precipitation expressed as a percentage is a combination of two figures— the likelihood of precipitation in the area and the percentage of the area that is likely to get it. Strictly speaking, a 70% chance of rain means that there is a 70% chance of measurable precipitation (0.01 inch or more) at a specific area in a twelve-hour period. This figure would be used if there’s a 70% chance of rain over 100% of the area, or if rain is certain (a 100% chance) over 70% of the area. Both scenarios would result in a 70% probability of precipitation. What was the weather like on a particular date? This is my second most-asked question. I am always being asked what the weather was like on a certain date at a certain place, or what the weather is usually like in a certain place at a particular time of year."

Mercury is only 38 percent the diameter of Earth, making it the smallest and least massive of the eight planets. It is the innermost planet of the solar system, orbiting the sun at a distance of only 36 million miles. That is nearly three times closer to the sun than Earth is. Mercury is a solid, rocky world, with only a trace of an atmosphere. It has mountains, valleys, plains, and craters—lots and lots of craters! In appearance, Mercury resembles a 40 percent larger (in radius) version of the moon. But when it comes to creation research of the early solar system, Mercury provides many interesting clues.

"text": "Curiosities: What determines the colors of the sky at sunrise and sunset? November 6, 2007Photo: Jeff Miller The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering, says Steven Ackerman, professor of meteorology at UW–Madison. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. Scattering affects the color of light coming from the sky, but the details are determined by the wavelength of the light and the size of the particle. The short-wavelength blue and violet are scattered by molecules in the air much more than other colors of the spectrum. This is why blue and violet light reaches our eyes from all directions on a clear day. But because we can’t see violet very well, the sky appears blue. Scattering also explains the colors of the sunrise and sunset, Ackerman says. “Because the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight passes through more air at sunset and sunrise than during the day, when the sun is higher in the sky. More atmosphere means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes."

Overview The Ramper Pro ($470€ / $570 US) is by far the most advanced handheld intervalometer for timelapse photography that exists today. This compact 3.5” x 3” x 1” controller is able to connect and control two different cameras (brands / models) at the same time - each with the same or different timelapse settings. It can also control an external stepper motor with an optional stepper drive kit, which gives it the ability to power a single axis motion control system. However, the real reason this product was developed by Dutch photographer Andre Crone was to allow the smooth capture of timelapse sequences at any time of day, including sunrise and sunset - despite the shortcomings of today's digital SLR cameras. The Ramper Pro is compatible with virtually all Nikon and Canon cameras. The Review I have been shooting timelapses professionally for six years and as with any art form I continue to try push myself to learn new techniques, improve on composition, post production, and to find better ways to do things. Timelapse photography has been around for quite a while (first use in a motion picture was in 1897), but it has seen a resurgence in popularity in the past decade thanks to high resolution digital SLR's and mirrorless camera systems. While the pixel resolution of today's cameras provide big benefits to timelapse photographers, it is also their larger sensors and improved low-light ability that has helped make digital still cameras the defacto standard for capturing timelapses. In simplest terms, creating a timelapse video using a camera that was designed for still images is achieved by setting up your camera to snap pictures at set intervals and over a set duration."

This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are aligned (in syzygy) exactly or very closely so, with the planet in between. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon."

One of the simplest questions in natural navigation is: ‘What direction does the sun rise?’ The answer most people confidently give is, ‘East!’, but bizarrely this answer is both right and wrong at the same time. Understanding why is one of the keys to using the sun to find your way at the start and end of the day. The sun rises due east on only two days of the year, the equinoxes, near March 21 and September 22 each year. Every other day of the year it rises somewhere else. But where and why? The answers lie in the tilt of the Earth as it moves around the sun. On midsummer’s day in the northern hemisphere, around June 21st each year (the summer solstice), the North Pole is tilted as much as it ever will be towards the sun."

In other words, it is the point in which the center of the visible sun is directly over the equator. This simplified, but incorrect, understanding of Earth's orbital motion can lead to errors of up to 69 seconds from the actual time of equinox. The instants of the equinoxes are currently defined to occur when the ecliptic longitude of the Sun is either 0° or 180°. [ 3] As the true motion of the Earth is affected by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon (and to lesser extent the other planets), there are tiny (up to 1¼ arcsecond) variations of the Sun's ecliptic latitude (discussed in section below) that may mean the Sun's center is not precisely over the equator at the moment of equinox. On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet."

Use \"\"Back\"\" to return here. No Every so often something so outrageous comes along I just shake my head in disbelief. Latest one (several e-mails from people wondering about it) is the claim that sometime around 2006 the earth's axis tilt suddenly changed by 26 degrees. The principal page making this claim is http://www.divulgence.net/. Sunrise, Sunset.... The astronomy on this site is so bad it just leaves me stunned. Typical claim: The sun should never be north of the Tropic of Cancer nor south of the Tropic of Capricorn. So, if you live north of Central Mexico, the sun should never rise or set to the north of those latitudes. But it is now rising and setting at a 26 degree angle to the north of Dallas, TX and the sun has been shining in the north windows at sunrise and sunset. Most of the people who have contacted me have been struck by the fact that the sun has been striking north facing walls and shining in north-facing windows."

The Salamonie River originates near Salamonia in southeastern Jay County and flows generally northwestwardly through Blackford, Wells, Huntington and Wabash counties, past the communities of Portland, Pennville, Montpelier, Warren and Mount Etna. It joins the Wabash River from the south in Wabash County, opposite Lagro. [ 3]In Wabash County, a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dam, completed for the purpose of flood control in 1966, [4] causes the river to form Salamonie Lake.

The trail follows two former rail lines forming a North Fork and South Fork, which converge at Jerome Road in Maumee, near the Fallen Timbers Battlefield. The North Fork runs east and west for 46 miles, from Maumee to Montpelier, Ohio, coming within 15 miles of the Indiana state line. It is paved to the Lucas County border. A paved connection links the Wabash Cannonball with the 5.3-mile Oak Openings Preserve all-purpose trail. The South Fork takes a southwesterly route, running 17 miles from Maumee to the edge of Liberty Center, Ohio. It passes through the Village of Whitehouse and the Maumee State Forest. The south fork is paved to the Lucas County line. The trail is connected to the Fallen Timbers Battlefield on Jerome Road, and to the Fallen Timbers Monument and Side Cut Metropark via a bike-pedestrian bridge over US 24.

Indian removals in Indiana followed a series of the land cession treaties made between 1785 and 1846 that led to the removal of most of the native tribes from Indiana. Some of the removals occurred prior to 1830, but most took place between 1830 and 1846. The Lenape (Delaware), Piankashaw, Kickapoo, Wea, and Shawnee were removed in the 1820s and 1830s, but the Potawatomi and Miami removals in the 1830s and 1840s were more gradual and incomplete, and not all of Indiana’s Native Americans voluntarily left the state. The most well-known resistance effort in Indiana was the forced removal of Chief Menominee and his Yellow River band of Potawatomi in what became known as the Potawatomi Trail of Death in 1838, in which 859 Potawatomi removed to Kansas and at least forty died on the journey west. The Miami were the last to remove from Indiana, but tribal leaders delayed the process until 1846. Many of the Miami were permitted to remain on land allotments guaranteed to them under the Treaty of St. Mary's (1818) and subsequent treaties. Under the terms of the Treaty of Greenville (1795), the Shawnee agreed to remove east to Ohio. Between 1803 and 1809 William Henry Harrison negotiated more than a dozen treaties on behalf of the federal government that purchased nearly all the Indian land in most of present-day Illinois and the southern third of Indiana from various tribes. Most of the Wea and the Kickapoo removed west to Illinois and Missouri after 1813."

November 1770, Washington returns for three days and notes the commercial and nature possibilities of the river area. They continue to Fort Pitt when horses are brought to them.1772 Chief John Logan is village chief , known as a brave man and peacemaker.1774 Logan’s family and others are lured to a tavern, given whisky and murdered by a group of settlers, supposedly under direction of Colonel Cresap from Fort Pitt. Logan and the Mingoes seek revenge on settlers from then on.1780 Chief Logan continues attacks on settlers until his own murder this year by other Native American.1783 Squatter Joseph Ross and his wife and sons settle in Mingo Bottoms area on Wells farm; child Absalom Ross born in Bottoms area. Ross becomes 'first landlord' in that he issues a \"\"tomahawk\"\" claim over Bottoms land. Ross becomes friends with frontier scouts Daniel Boone and Lewis Wetzel, the latter residing in Mingo Bottoms from 1783 to1786; Wetzel does the “White Man’s Leap” off of Route 7 area when pursued by Indians.1786 Sale of Jefferson County lands is held in Steubenville, sold at $1 per acre.

Charles Whittlesey, the Indian occupation of Ohio appears as follows: The Iroquois and tribes adopted by them, north-east Ohio, including the valley of the Cuyahoga, the Tuscarawas and Wheeling Creek; Wyandots and Ottawas, the valleys of the streams wrest of the Cuyahoga and flowing into Lake Erie, but following up the Maumee no further than Fulton and Henry counties. The Delawares the valley of the Muskingum; the Shawnees the Scioto and its tributaries, and as far east as to include the Raccoon, and west including parts of Brown and Highland counties. The Miamis the western part of the state, including the valleys of the Great and Little Miami, and the upper part of the Maumee. These were in a general way the limits of the tribes in Ohio from 1754 to 1780. The Iroquois were mostly the Senecas, the western and largest tribe of that nation. The old settlers of northern Ohio today will generally say the Iroquois whom they met were Senecas, or generally pronounced the Sinekas. There were also Mohawks, Tuscarawas, Mingoes, and descendants not named in a tribal way of the ancient Eries and Neutrals. These named tribes were all intrusive within the period of history. The Ottawas and Wyandots, although of different generic stock, lived much together, perhaps partly through sympathy in a similar downfall."

From the anatomical position, with the arms fully extended to the sides of the trunk and the palms facing forward, pronation is the movement of the hands to turn the palms posteriorly.

From age 10 on, every boy, teenager, and man want to have bulging biceps. This is, apparently, a true sign of manliness and strength. Biceps are among the most famous muscles in the body. When somebody asks you to “make a muscle” or “flex”, they aren’t asking you to flex your hamstrings. They want to see your biceps!This whole notion of flexing the biceps as a measure of anything, is completely ludicrous to me, but it is a reality. When someone asks me to flex, I ask them if they’d much rather discuss max effort PRs, perhaps dynamic powerlifting strategies, or better yet how to put together the most effective HIIT complexes. Most folks walk away thus. But I digress…How to Get Big Ass Arms Of course, to have big arms one must work the triceps twice as hard as the biceps."

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Anatomy Elbow Joint Anatomy Updated: Nov 09, 2017Author: Stephen Kishner, MD, MHA; Chief Editor: Thomas R Gest, Ph D more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview The human elbow is the summation of 3 articulations. The first 2 are the ones traditionally thought of as constituting the elbow: the humeroulnar articulation (the synovial hinge joint with articulation between the trochlea of the humeral condyle and the trochlear notch of the ulna) and the humeroradial articulation (the articulation between the capitulum of the humeral condyle and the concavity on the superior aspect of the head of the radius). The third is a pivot-type synovial joint with articulation between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. [ 1]These 3 articulations, forming 2 different aspects, allow flexion and extension of the elbow, as well as supination and pronation of the forearm and wrist at the elbow. When the elbow is in anatomic position, the long axis of the forearm typically has an offset (lateral inclination or valgus at the elbow) of about 19 º from the long axis of the humerus. [ 2] This angle shows no difference between genders but does increase slightly with age into adulthood. [ 3]Gross Anatomy Bones and Osteology The elbow joint is composed of the distal end of the humerus and the proximal ends of the radius and the ulna (see the images below). Elbow joint, anterior view. View Media Gallery Elbow joint, posterior view. View Media Gallery The humerus contributes the humeral condyle, composed of the trochlea medially from anterior to posterior and the capitulum laterally on the anterior aspect, to the articular surface of the elbow joint."

"text": "Elbow joint Article Metrics Related Content Cite this page No Comments The elbow joint consists of three bones: the humerus, the ulna, and the radius. These bones create three articulations – the ulnohumeral, the radiohumeral, and the proximal radioulnar – that provide flexion, extension, and forearm rotation. The joint provides a link for positioning the hand in three dimensions, acts as a fulcrum for the forearm lever, and also bears some of the load of the upper extremity. Left elbow joint showing anterior and ulnar collateral ligaments (left) and posterior and external ligaments (right). Movement The elbow joint is a hinge-type synovial joint. The spool-shaped trochlea of the distal humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna articulate to form a joint that approximates a hinge, providing the control and stability of flexion and extension. The radiohumeral articulation, comprised of the spheroidal capitulum of the humerus proximally and the slightly concave radial head distally, aids secondarily in flexion and extension. The proximal radioulnar articulation, together with the distal radioulnar joint, is responsible for rotation of the forearm. The articular surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage. They come in contact when the forearm is midway between supination and pronation and when flexed to ninety degrees."

"text": "Movement and Muscles at the Elbow pronation and supination The elbow does this other freaky thing, though. I mean, imagine if your knee did this. What movements happen at this joint? Pronation is when you turn your forearm so your palm faces down, and supination is when you turn your forearm so your palm faces up. Mimi Furst told me that the way she remembers this is, supination is how you would serve soup. Are you not freaked out by this? You can totally rotate your upper arm at the shoulder and your forearm at the elbow independently of each other!What makes this happen is the radius pivoting in the radioulnar joint. So you can also see the difference between a pivot joint and a ball and socket joint. A pivot joint just pivots on a single axis, a ball and socket joint moves in all directions. What muscles make these movements happen?"

This article is part of a series on Anatomical terminology Bone Location Microanatomy Motion Muscle Neuroanatomyv t e Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the joints. Anatomists use a unified set of terms to describe most of the movements, although other, more specialized terms are necessary for describing the uniqueness of the movements such as those of the hands, feet, and eyes. In general, motion is classified according to the anatomical plane it occurs in. Flexion and extension are examples of angular motions, in which two axes of a joint are brought closer together or moved further apart. Rotational motion may occur at other joints, for example the shoulder, and are described as internal or external. Other terms, such as elevation and depression, describe movement above or below the horizontal plane."

By reading through this document you will gain a greater understanding of the terminology you will be using in your fitness program, as well as become more educated on proper mechanical function of the muscles and joints. Muscles drive all the movements in the human body, both voluntary and involuntary. They move organs, members, and the whole body in specific ways described by anatomical terminology. The terminology describes movement according to its direction. Anatomists use a unified set of terms to describe most of the movements, although other, more specialised terms are necessary for describing movements such as those of the hands, feet, and eyes. The anatomical positions of the joints are the basis for description of most obvious skeletal movements, but there also are classes of movement, both voluntary and involuntary, in which joints and even skeletal elements play little part, such as movements of eyes, viscera and lips. Motions are classified after the planes they engage, though movement of the human body is more often than not a combination of differing motions. Gross movements are big body movements relating to the use of the large muscles of the human body, such as those in the legs, arms, and abdomen, as opposed to fine movement of for example fingers or wrist."

Our upper limb has developed and evolved immensely, and in addition to our elongated and opposable thumb, our ability to supinate and pronate gives us enormous mechanical advantage. Turning a screwdriver and turning a key are two examples of the functional movements that utilise pronation and supination. There are a number of muscles involved in each of these movements, which work synergistically. In this article we will discuss the anatomy and clinical relevance of these movements. Recommended video: Posterior compartment of forearm muscles Origins, insertions, innervation, functions and related clinical anatomy about the the extensors of the forearm. Bones and joints Pronation and supination are movements that occur at the proximal radioulnar joint. The head of the radius is discoid and fits with the radial neck within the circular annular ligament, that attaches the proximal radius to the ulna. The wheel like rotation of the head of the radius enables supination (palm facing upwards), and pronation (palm facing downwards). Proximal radioulnar joint Radioulnar joint - dorsal view This is a synovial joint located between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna."

"text": "Pronator Teres: Functional Anatomy Guide March 22, 2015 / Anatomy / By Alex / 1 COMMENTThe pronator teres (L. pronus , lying face down ; teres, round and long.) is an elongated, cylindrical forearm muscle that crosses the gap between radius and ulna. It’s the strongest of the two pronator muscles. However, it is only active during rapid or resisted forearm pronation, which it carries out with help from the pronator quadratus. Notably, it also plays a minor role in elbow flexion. It is part of the superficial anterior compartment of the forearm. The pronator teres, which has a humeral head and an ulnar head, is found lateral to the palmaris longus and medial to the flexor carpi radialis. Its ulnar head is deep to the flexor carpi radialis, and the distal end of the muscle is deep to the brachioradialis. From their origins on the distal humerus and and proximal ulna, the parallel-oriented fibers of the pronator teres travel inferolaterally and converge before inserting on the lateral radius. The muscle has a fusiform shape."

Clinical History: A 56 year-old male presents with swelling and ecchymosis in the antecubital fossa following a “pop” and acute onset of pain while lifting a heavy weight one week earlier. What are the findings? What is your diagnosis?1a 1b1c Figure 1: Coronal (1a) and axial (1b) STIR and sagittal T2-weighted (1c) images are provided. Findings2Figure 2: A coronal STIR image at the elbow demonstrates a partially bare distal half of the bicipital tuberosity (arrowheads) while the proximal bicipital tuberosity demonstrates attaching distal biceps tendon fibers (arrow).3Figure 3: A coronal STIR image at the distal humerus demonstrates retracted and coiled tendon fibers (blue arrow) surrounded by edema medial to an intact musculotendinous junction along the lateral aspect of the distal biceps muscle (red arrow).4Figure 4: The sagittal T2 FSE image on the left is centered over the course of the distal biceps tendon and demonstrates intact tendon fibers (red arrows) extending to the biceps tuberosity, but the fibers are too small to represent the entire distal biceps tendon suggesting that a portion of the tendon is absent at this level (arrowheads). The sagittal T2 FSE image on the right is slightly more medially positioned and redemonstrates retracted and thickened tendon fibers. Diagnosis Complete tear and retraction of the short head component of a bifurcated distal biceps tendon. Introduction Ruptures of the distal biceps tendon are seen most commonly in the dominant arm of males greater than 40 years of age and account for 3-10% of biceps injuries. The injury also affects athletes involved in strength training or who have sustained athletic related trauma. With increased understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the distal biceps tendon, surgeons are more likely to recreate the normal anatomy and restore supination and flexion at the elbow in patients who have sustained a distal biceps rupture. MRI is useful to delineate the extent of distal biceps tendon tears and retraction."

Im having difficulty deciding the direction of tension... it seems that it could be taken as in either direction of the direction of the rope etc... how does one decide its direction in problems involving tension? For example if a climber was held by a vertical rope, is the direction of tension upward or downward? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The tension is upwards in this case and it tends to be upwards in most cases Tension is the force provided by the rope or cable and is always in the direction that would stretch the rope/cable. In your exampe the weight of the climber is the downward force on the rope so the tension upwards would cause the rope to be tense? · 7 years ago2 0 Comment Sketch what's known as a \"\"Free-Body\"\" diagram of the vertical rope. The weight of the climber pulls the rope downward while the Tension force pulls the rope in the opposite direction. UR right about being confusing though. The rope itself (in the example given) is said to be in \"\"tension\"\" created by equal and opposite forces at either end. The Tension force is (in the example given) a REACTION force to that of the ACTION force = weight of the climber."

From the above figure, it is clear that, when two phases are adjacent to one another, the boundary in between those two lines is called as the interface. If one among the two phases is gas, then the boundary is called a Surface. { 1}Molecules present in the bulk act differently compared to the molecules present on the surface. In the bulk, each molecule is completely surrounded by other molecules. Therefore they will experience an equal force of attraction in all directions & the net force is zero. In case molecules on the surface, there is no such balance of forces because of which these will experience an inward pull. {"

Force is everywhere and it comes in a variety of sizes, directions, and types. In this video lesson, you'll identify force as well the different types of force that objects may experience. What Is Force? You've probably heard of 'The Force,' but this isn't quite the same as a force. A force is a push or pull on an object. This push or pull comes from the objects interacting with one another and only from such interactions. Once the interaction stops, there is no longer any force. While forces come in pairs, there can be even more forces in an interaction. For example, when you throw a ball into the air, the ball is experiencing the force of gravity, friction, and the pushing force from you all at the same time!Forces are important because, as we learned in another lesson, they are responsible for changes in motion."

"text": "Thomas Jeal Answered Feb 11, 2013In engineering the strongest structures may be regarded as those that obtain a high degree of strength from a minimal amount of material, being efficient structures, lightweight, and as strong as their geometries could allow given the various contexts. There is no single strongest structure, as there are many different types of strength. Some truss like structures present the optimum geometries for resisting cantilever stresses as you mentioned, remaining rigid by reducing bending moments, resisting deformation under a combination of compression, tension and shear. Other structures present the most efficient geometry for resisting purely compressive stresses , distributing loads efficiently with the shortest paths to minimize lateral buckling. It seems this is what you're after but it's not quite so simple. Still others represent the strongest geometries for resisting purely tension, carrying the force in a direct route so as not to amplify the stress. Also there are singular shapes which hold their form in circumstances where pressures are exerted at different points, i.e. catenary curves and catenary domes, spherical domes, and pyramids and triangles. Before the strongest structure for a particular circumstance can be established, it is necessary to determine the kinds of stresses the structure must resist. Tension The most efficient geometry for carrying solely tensile stress is a straight line parallel with the direction of the force, such a steel cable. These are extensively used in suspension bridges, which are popular as tension elements typically require significantly less material than compression elements which must resist buckling."

So players that play 3 hours a week should look to restring every 4 months or so. Other signs are that your strings are deeply notched at the cross sections or that you hear a loud crunchy sound when you try and move them.9 What's the deal with tension? What I'm going to tell you may sound backwards...but it's the truth...the tighter your strings (higher tension) the better control you'll have. The looser your strings (to a point) the more power you'll get. For all you doubting Thomas's out there think of it this way.. The tighter your strings, the less flex there is and the less time the ball sits on your string bed. Less flex means that you get less energy springing back off the strings...less time means that the ball will be directed at the angle the ball contacts the string bed and that the arc of your swing as it changes the angle will have less impact on the direction of the ball. ( mouthful...reread) The opposite is true for power...think of a trampoline...a very tight trampoline doesn't allow you to bounce that high...but loosen it up to the right point and you're bouncing higher than a house."

"text": "Example of sewing machine tension dial. Exotica.im Collection / Universal Images / Getty Images Sometimes quilters are hesitant to adjust sewing machine tension when stitches aren't quite right because they are unsure if the adjustments will create even more of an issue. But don't hesitate to make tension adjustments because they're often necessary. What is Sewing Machine Tension? Sewing machine tension adjustment is controlled by devices that separately control the needle thread and the bobbin thread, putting varying amounts of tension (or strength) on the threads they control in order to form a strong, balanced stitch. Sewing machine tension can be tightened or loosened to affect the needle thread, the bobbin thread, or both. Are Your Machine Stitches Balanced? Machine stitches should look the same on both sides of the seam when you sew patchwork pieces together or when you machine quilt through the quilt's top, batting, and backing. When stitches are balanced, they will be evenly spaced on both sides of the project, with threads that lie flat against their own side of the fabric. The little knot formed between stitches (at each indentation between them) should be invisible, buried in the layers."

At the point where the pebble hits the water’s surface, waves are cre- ated. These waves move outward from the creation point in expanding cir- cles until they reach the shore. If you were to examine carefully the motion of a leaf floating on the disturbed water, you would see that the leaf moves up, down, and sideways about its original position but does not undergo any net displace- ment away from or toward the point where the pebble hit the water."

"text": "\"Science Earth Science Earthquakes Q: What Type of Stress Is Placed on a Normal Fault? A: Quick Answer The type of stress placed on a normal fault is tensional stress. In normal faulting, tensional stress gradually weakens the Earth's crust until the rock cracks, with one crustal block moving downwards relative to its adjacent fault block. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is the Definition of \"\"reverse Fault\"\"? Why Did the Great Kanto Earthquake Happen? What Are Some of the Main Characteristics of an Earthquake? Full Answer A fault along the Earth's crust is identified by the corresponding type of stress that caused its formation. In geology, a stress is defined as the amount of force exerted on a unit of surface area. Generally, shear stress forms transform faults, compressive stress creates reverse faults and tensional stress produces normal faults. Tensional stress usually occurs along divergent plate boundaries, where the Earth's massive crustal plates move in opposite directions."

In common usage, velocity and acceleration both can imply having considerable speed. In physics, they are sharply defined concepts that are not at all synonymous. Distinguishing clearly between them is a prerequisite to understanding motion. Moreover, an easy way to study motion is to draw a motion diagram, in which the position of the object in motion is sketched at several equally spaced instants of time, and these sketches (or snapshots) are combined into one single picture. In this problem, we make use of these concepts to study the motion of a power ball. This discussion assumes that we have already agreed on a coordinate system from which to measure the position of objects as a function of time. Letand (also called the position vector)be velocity and acceleration, respectively. Harvaran Ghai Consider the motion of a power ball that is dropped on the floor and bounces back. In the following questions, you will describe its motion at various points in its fall in terms of its velocity and acceleration."

It is now time to expand our studies to include the quantities that affect motion — mass and force. The mathematical description of motion that includes these quantities is called dynamics. Many introductory textbooks often define a force as \"\"a push or a pull\"\". This is a reasonable informal definition to help you conceptualize a force, but it is a terrible operational definition. What is \"\"a push or a pull\"\"? How would you measure such a thing? Most importantly, how does \"\"a push or a pull\"\" relate to the other quantities already defined in this book?

"text": "\"Badminton Rackets and Tension Explained Most badminton players are familiar with the notion that lower racket string tensions give more power, and that higher racket string tensions give more control. The general idea is that lower tension strings stretch more on impact and store more energy. When the shuttle rebounds from the racket head, more of this energy is returned, resulting in increased shuttle speed. The idea that higher string tensions provide extra control is a bit more complicated to explain. If we take control to mean the ability to place the shuttle consistently at an intended position, then how would this extra tension help to achieve this? Many badminton players report that having a badminton racket strung at high tension gives the feeling of more \"\"bite\"\" into the shuttle, which provides more control over the shuttle. The theory is that the strings will cut deeper into the base of the shuttle, especially on slice shots, giving more control. Many of the string manufacturers produce thinner gauge strings, and they then market them by claiming they offer more control as they help to bite into the shuttle base more, which is the same theory as the high tension, both are concerned with this \"\"bite\"\". Thus, if we have high tension and thin strings we should achieve the most control because of the extra \"\"bite\"\" factor. Now this theory has been tested at the university of Sheffield in the UK."

When a string, fixed at both ends, is given a vertical hit by a stick, a dent appears in it that travels along the string. When it reaches an end point, it reflects and reverses and travels toward the other end. The following figure shows the motion of a single disturbance. If you hold end A of the above string and try to give it a continuous up-and-down motion, with a little adjustment of the pace of oscillations, you can make at least the following waveforms: Each wave travels from A to B and gets reflected at B. When each reflected wave reaches point A, it gets reflected again and the process repeats. Of course the hand motion keeps putting energy into the system by constantly generating waves that are in phase with the returned waves creating the above waveforms. Such waves are called \"\" standing waves. \"\" The subject of waves is lengthy and mathematically very involved. For now, the above is sufficient to give you an idea of wavelength and standing waves."

They are assembled here to assist students and to attempt to restrain Dr. Berg’s urge to tell yet another great water relations story. How the ancient Egyptians quarried the stones for the pyramids Matric forces, those holding water to substances like cellulose, can be very strong. The ancient Egyptians cut (or found) holes in the rocks in their quarries, and tightly jammed pieces of dry wood into the holes. They added water and waited for the wood to swell because the water is so strongly attracted to the wood that the water will push rock to get to the wood. The swelling wood developed enough pressure to split the rock along natural cleavage planes. Kids, don’t do this to widen cracks in your sidewalks at home. This is a good illustration of the power of matric potential."

"text": "The job of a healthcare administrator is important – and often complex. If you seek out this career path, you will be making use of skills ranging from personnel management to an understanding of the financial workings of a medical organization. It’s good to have an idea of what a healthcare administrator’s day-to-day working life looks like if you’re interested in pursuing a Master of Health Administration. Having an overview ensures that the types of activities involved will stimulate and engage you over time. Healthcare administrators usually work in an office within a hospital, group medical practice, behavioral health, or nursing home. They also spend a lot of time outside of the office for an organization, speaking with people in a variety of environments and observing the activities going on daily in the health care setting. It’s important to enjoy talking with individuals and groups in order to help them achieve their full potential. Also, community meetings and meetings with other organizations are important for developing a network of contacts to make sure all the job functions progress smoothly. The job of a healthcare administrator (also known as a “health care executive” or a “health care manager”) has similar responsibilities to those of leadership positions, social service managers, and human resource managers, among others. You’ve probably seen one or more of these professionals in the past when you’ve been in a health care setting – although their work often goes on behind the scenes, unnoticed by patients."

Erlandson lost the party's nomination to Keith Ellison who went on to win the election. The word “progressive” works like a charm in circles of the Democratic party.

It would soon be followed by the HIPAA Security Rule-which was published in 2003 and became effective in 2005-and eventually by the HIPAA Enforcement Rule and the Breach Notification Rule as well. HIPAA’s length compares to that of a Tolstoy novel-since it contains some of the most detailed and comprehensive requirements of any privacy and data security law. When the HIPAA regulation initially went into effect, it generated significant skepticism, confusion, and even angst. Many in the healthcare industry asked: Would it be possible to provide efficient healthcare and comply with all of HIPAA’s requirements? What did protecting the confidentiality of protected health information mean? How would HIPAA be enforced? Would HIPAA interfere with the relationships between patients and healthcare providers? Skeptics wondered whether HIPAA might prove to be too cumbersome and expensive to comply with. Some were concerned that HIPAA wouldn’t provide meaningful privacy protection."

It’s a system with hidden costs, enormous mark ups to discourage direct payment and a labyrinth of billing and reimbursement schedules that almost guarantees that no person directly involved would likely understand it. So, why is our health care system such a mess? Five years ago, when I began my attempt to answer that question, the information I had was very limited. I had my own office finances and the bills and receipts my patients brought me, but not much more. Five years later I’ve broadened the scope of my research considerably to include overviews of the finances of nearly all of the various industries in health care. This research has provided answers to many of the questions I was asking then, but has also uncovered answers to questions I never would have imagined to ask when I began my research.

But pull up the curtain on these statistics, and the drama that unfolds tells a very different story. End-of-life care continues to be characterized by aggressive medical intervention and runaway costs (Adamopoulos, 6/3). The Medicare News Group: End-Of Life Care Constitutes Third Rail Of U. S. Health Care Policy Debate Any debate about health care policy isn’t complete without adequately addressing its third rail—end-of-life care—and the financial stress it puts on the Medicare budget. Total federal spending on health care eats up nearly 18 percent of the nation’s output, about double what most industrialized nations spend on health care. In 2011, Medicare spending reached close to $554 billion, which amounted to 21 percent of the total spent on U. S. health care in that year. Of that $554 billion, Medicare spent 28 percent, or about $170 billion, on patients’ last six months of life (Pasternak, 6/3). The Medicare News Group: Advances In U. S. Medical Care Bring Too Much Of A Good Thing Through a triumph of will, organization, medical technology, and ethics, frail elderly and chronically ill people in the United States are being kept alive far beyond the point at which they would have succumbed in earlier generations. Dialysis, intensive care units, organ transplantation, cardiovascular procedures, and medications are indefinitely extending the lives of very sick people who are never going to get well (Moore, 6/3). The Medicare News Group: Time To Address End-Of-Life Care In Medicare, Some Experts Say End-of-life policymaking may be as inevitable as death itself -- an issue that lawmakers may fear and loathe, but one that is unlikely to ever go away."

Institutional corruption is rife within the pharmaceutical industry and its regulatory agencies The consequences of institutional corruption include millions of adverse reactions each year, and at least 128,000 deaths as a direct result of adverse drug reactions within the hospital setting alone When deaths related to diagnostic errors, errors of omission, and failure to follow guidelines are included, the number skyrockets to an estimated 440,000 preventable hospital deaths each year That makes preventable medical errors the third-leading cause of death in the US, right after heart disease and cancer, and hospital-based lethal adverse drug reactions are the fourth leading cause of death By Dr. Mercola I've highlighted the fact that the pharmaceutical industry is responsible for nearly 20 percent of corporate crime in a number of previous articles. Here, I want to draw your attention to an excellent article 1, 2 on the institutional corruption of pharmaceuticals, published in the Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics. It's well worth reading in its entirety if you have an interest in this topic. This term, \"\"institutional corruption,\"\" does not refer to any violation of existing rules or laws. Rather it refers to \"\"a certain kind of influence, within an economy of influence, that has a certain effect,\"\" as explained the Cambridge lecture above. As presented in the video, an activity is considered institutional corruption if it: Weakens the effectiveness of an institution, and/or Weakens public trust in that institution The lecture series was sponsored by the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard, which also published the featured article on this topic, written by Donald W. Light, Joel Lexchin, and Jonathan J. Darrow."

Deep Ramachandran, MD | Physician | December 22, 2014219Share Tweet Share I can recall, though it seems quite long ago, my first basic life support (BLS) course as a first-year medical student. The instructor dutifully demonstrated on a mannequin to eager young medical students what to do if someone is found unresponsive. Shaking the unmoving mannequin she said loudly, “Sir, are you OK?” Then hearing no response she showed us how to check for a pulse and spontaneous breathing. “ If not present,” she said, “call for help and start CPR.” Me, ever the smart-ass, took my own approach. “ Sir, are you ok?” Then, grabbing the mannequin tightly to my chest, “Nooooo!

"text": "\"Organizational Safety Culture - Linking patient and worker safety The burden and cost of poor patient safety, a leading cause of death in the United States, has been well-documented and is now a major focus for most healthcare institutions. Less well-known is the elevated incidence of work-related injury and illness among healthcare workers (HCWs) that occurs in the work setting, and the impacts these injuries and illnesses have on the workers, their families, healthcare institutions, and ultimately on patient safety. It is not surprising that patient and worker safety often go hand-in-hand and share organizational safety culture as their foundation. With the publication of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) seminal public health report in 1999, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health Care System 1, patient safety, or \"\"quality of care\"\" became a national priority. The IOM committee stated its belief that a safer environment for patients would also be a safer environment for workers and vice versa, because both are tied to many of the same underlying cultural and systemic issues. Hazards to HCWs because of lapses in infection control, fatigue, or faulty equipment may result in injury or illness not only to workers but also to patients and others in the institution. Workers who are concerned for their safety or physical or psychological health in a work environment in which their safety and health is not perceived as a priority, will not be able to provide error-free care to patients. The report emphasized the pivotal role of system failures and the benefits of a strong safety culture in the prevention of such errors. Therefore, efforts to reduce the rate of medical error must be linked with efforts to prevent work-related injury and illness if they are to be successful. Several studies have found organizational factors to be the most significant predictor of safe work behaviors."

We were in the midst of the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the previous administration had put two wars on our nation's credit card, and the American Dream had slipped out of reach for too many. Today, our economy is growing again, al-Qaeda is weaker than at any point since 9/11, and our manufacturing sector is growing for the first time in more than a decade. But there is more we need to do, and so we come together again to continue what we started. We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth - the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us. This election is not simply a choice between two candidates or two political parties, but between two fundamentally different paths for our country and our families. We Democrats offer America the opportunity to move our country forward by creating an economy built to last and built from the middle out. Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have a drastically different vision. They still believe the best way to grow the economy is from the top down - the same approach that benefited the wealthy few but crashed the economy and crushed the middle class. Democrats see a young country continually made stronger by the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity in the world, and a nation of people drawn to our shores from every corner of the globe."

Solove Photography [in print version] by Tyllie Barbosa Ten years ago after countless years of germination and many twists and turns, the HIPAA Privacy Rule finally became effective. It would soon be followed by the HIPAA Security Rule-which was published in 2003 and became effective in 2005-and eventually by the HIPAA Enforcement Rule and the Breach Notification Rule as well. HIPAA’s length compares to that of a Tolstoy novel-since it contains some of the most detailed and comprehensive requirements of any privacy and data security law. When the HIPAA regulation initially went into effect, it generated significant skepticism, confusion, and even angst. Many in the healthcare industry asked: Would it be possible to provide efficient healthcare and comply with all of HIPAA’s requirements? What did protecting the confidentiality of protected health information mean? How would HIPAA be enforced? Would HIPAA interfere with the relationships between patients and healthcare providers? Skeptics wondered whether HIPAA might prove to be too cumbersome and expensive to comply with. Some were concerned that HIPAA wouldn’t provide meaningful privacy protection."

In light of the recent outbreaks of salmonella in the US, it is worth reviewing Food, Inc ., the recent film exposé of the food industry. The documentary, directed by Robert Kenner, was first released to theaters in the US in 2009, and on DVD in 2010. Despite a failure to draw any sharp political conclusions, the film is a damning indictment of the inability of the profit system to provide safe and healthy food for the vast majority of the populace. Whatever you may think of the corporate food industry, Food, Inc ., will show you, disturbingly, that the situation is worse than you think. Produced and directed by television documentary filmmaker Kenner (PBS series, The American Experience, Two Days in October ), it draws heavily on input by co-producer Eric Schlosser ( Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan ( Omnivore’s Dilemma, Food Rules, An Eaters’ Manual and In Defense of Food: An Eaters’ Manifesto ), both top-notch investigative journalists in the food industry. One of the guiding ideas of Food, Inc ., is that the reality behind food production in the US does not jibe with the pastoral imagery often depicted on the packaging, but rather involves giant firms operating huge factories with brutal conditions. Food, Inc., traces the origins of modern-day food production—perhaps a bit simplistically—to the fast food industry, particularly Mc Donald’s."

The Act will require most Americans to have health insurance, expand Medicaid and establish a series of state-run exchanges through which individuals, families and small businesses can purchase health insurance meeting minimum standards to be defined by the federal government. The Act imposes new regulations on insurers that offer individual or small group coverage, even before the exchanges are established. The Act also contains several provisions that experiment with new payment models, which may lead to additional changes in the health care delivery system. Every sector of the health care and life sciences industries can anticipate significant changes resulting from the Act. Over the next several weeks, O'Melveny will issue a series of client alerts that will analyze particular portions of the Act, the Act's impact on specific sectors of the health care and life sciences industries and the Act's impact on employers. This client alert is designed to summarize the key changes the legislation accomplishes and the high-level impact of those changes on the major segments of the health care and life sciences industries, including: Health Plans and the Managed Care Sector; Pharmaceuticals, Biologics, and Medical Device Companies; and Health Care Providers. The alert also analyzes provisions designed to curb fraud, abuse, and waste, and provides a roadmap of potential future developments. Health Plans and the Managed Care Sector The Act will have the most sweeping effects on the business models of the insurance and managed care sectors. In the short term, the legislation requires insurers to change certain underwriting practices and benefit structures."

This is the fan direction for Winter or when it is cold outside. Winter time Ceiling Fan Turn Direction (Blade Rotation): Which direction for ceiling fan in Winter? Lets say it is Winter time and you want to set your ceiling fan to spin in the correct direction. When looking at your fan from below, the fan should be turning clockwise, or in reverse. The reason for this reverse spin direction is so the fan can pull the air from the floor upwards towards the ceiling. The air is moved in an upward motion for Winter because heat rises and this is the best way to mix the warm air above your head."

One would think, “Sure, ghosts can teach us how much it sucks to die,” but consider this: Those who have passed on—or those who were never even human to begin with—have knowledge that we may never possess. They’ve learned lessons from situations that we would never encounter due to being human. On the contrary, maybe the lessons the supernatural can teach us aren’t that different to begin with. The same principles for living life could apply across all barriers, whether you be human, ghost, demon, or monster. Natsume Yuujinchou ( Natsume’s Book of Friends in English) is a series that answers these considerations. With four total seasons on Crunchyroll (the fourth is separated as Natsume Yuujinchou-Shi ), Natsume Yuujinchou has a lot of lessons to share with the audience. A slice of life series that focuses on the life of Takashi Natsume, Natsume Yuujinchou is the story of a boy who merely wishes to connect. He’s struggled to fit into regular society due to a mysterious “gift” that allows him to see youkai (demons/monsters). Natsume resents these monsters throughout his childhood, as they were the reason he had to be passed around from family member to family member after his parents’ deaths."

Most crawl spaces are vented to the outdoors, but over the past decade, encapsulating the crawl space (as shown below) has gained favor among builders of green and energy efficient homes. It's often seen as the best way to eliminate the moisture problems that often result from vented crawl spaces. But what do you do about the air down there? Before we address that question, however, let me point out that encapsulated crawl spaces are great for humid climates, like the Southeastern US. In a dry climate, it may or not be worth the cost to encapsulate. So, as always, do what's most suitable for your climate. Basically, your options are to do one of the following: The tried and false method of venting the crawl space to the outdoors Putting a little bit of supply air from the HVAC system into the crawl space Using an exhaust fan to move air from the crawl space to outside Installing a dehumidifier Let's take a look at each of these methods.1.

No matter how often you travel, the packing question can still prove to be a challenge. Hopefully, the longer we travel, the more savvy we become with packing smartly and lightly!After five visits to London, I think I may have the packing essentials down to a science. From the slightly cheeky to the practical, here are my tips for what you should really pack for a London getaway. London weather A pair of cute wellies (rain boots, gum boots) – chances are it’s going to rain during your visit, so find some boots with a fun design and colors to match your outfits. A brolly (umbrella) – again with the rain!A jumper (sweater or even a jacket or hoodie) – As a little girl in the USA, we called a certain style of dress a jumper. You can imagine my surprise on my first visit to the UK when a male friend said he just needed to “grab a jumper” before we went for a walk. Sports fan?

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Prune Japanese Maple Trees Japanese maple trees have an intricate branch structure made of many smaller branches forking off thicker center branches. The trees have a natural sense of flow and harmony, but proper maintenance is needed to keep growth from becoming too bushy or unbalanced. When pruning a Japanese maple tree, light pruning focused on symmetrical structure is the best course of action. Steps1 Use pruning to shape mature trees. Some pruning is done for the health of the tree, but most pruning is done for the sake of appearance. You can remove dead, dying, or diseased wood from the tree regardless of its age. The removal of awkward or unappealing branches should be held back until the Japanese maple has a chance to grow into its natural shape, which usually does not happen until it reaches two to three years of age.2 Prune in the summer or winter. Technically, the only time of year when you cannot prune a Japanese maple is spring, since sap is developing during this time. Late summer and winter are the most favorable times, though. [ 1]During winter, you can clearly see the branches and will be able to tell which ones interfere with the overall structure of the tree."

You look at the switch and realize it isn’t any help as they don’t even have an arrow saying which way the fan is blowing or even a simple pictograph showing the sun or a snowflake. You pop open the book and all you might see is something like this on the right. Yeah I know where the switch is, but which side is which? Maybe your book shows you something like you see now on the left, but that still leaves questions. Is the clockwise position as you look up at the fan or??? Is this a hard & fast rule or are there caveats? How does this work? Will this really save me on my energy bills?4 General Rules: The direction of the fan is determined by you looking up at it. During the summer months the fan should be blowing straight down (blades turning counter-clockwise) to help cool you off via a wind chill effect."

Using Ceiling Fans To Keep Cool Without ACIf you don’t have air conditioning, ceiling fans can save energy — but turn them off when you leave the room Posted on Jun 11 2010 by Martin Holladay Efficient blade design lowers energy use. Designed by engineers from the Florida Solar Energy Center, the Gossamer Wind ceiling fan moves more air with less energy than any other model. When I was a young backpacker traveling through India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand in the 1970s, I couldn’t afford air-conditioned hotels or restaurants. In these tropical conditions, I became quite accustomed to the benefits of Casablanca-style fans. Although a fan can’t lower the temperature of the air, it can make people feel cooler. Moving air accelerates the rate at which perspiration evaporates from your skin. The evaporation process requires heat, so increased evaporation means that more heat is leaving your body. Moving air also removes heat from your body by convection — at least as long as the air temperature is below 100°F or so. Once the air temperature significantly exceeds your body temperature, however, fans tend to raise rather than reduce your body temperature (unless you are very wet)."

Warm air = balloons filled with air. Cold air = bowling balls. To move air, is it easier to push a bunch of balloons into a space full of bowling balls or push a bunch of bowling balls into a space full of balloons? The later is most efficient and it's not an exaggeration. In winter, the ceiling is hotter and the floor is cold. Move the bowling balls into the balloons and you will get better circulation and use the same amount of energy. The other direction would only make an uncomfortable spot below the fan and the room circulation would be nil.? · 1 year ago0 1 Comment Despite what you have heard it functionally does not matter what way they turn the object is to distribute the air.

If you have a home that is more than 30 years old, your water pipes may be made up of galvanized piping. A working knowledge of galvanized pipe is needed for the do-it-yourselfer who lives in an older home or does repair work for people. Proper Uses While the layer of zinc over the steel was originally helpful to increase the lifespan of your plumbing and avoid corrosion, it's since been discovered that it has a tendency to react with the minerals in the water it carries, producing scale and lowering pressure levels. As such, galvanized pipe is only used in modern homes for hand rails and replacement of existing pipe. Galvanized nipples are still used to penetrate fire rated walls for sinks and urinals. Galvanized pipe should only be used in systems that carry water. Gas lines are not suitable for this kind of piping as the zinc flakes off and clogs the flow of gas. Check with the local department of public works to find out the p H level of the water in your locale. If you have a well on your property, have a sample of water tested."

We would like to know the galvanic effect when we have a bolted joint Aluminum-copper, maybe there is a table experience or calculated values data. Thanks for your help. Gonzalo Ramirez- Mexico city, Mexico (2001)A. Aluminum will be very susceptible to galvanic corrosion in contact with copper, assuming that the two metals are also in contact with a common electrolyte (such as water with some ionic content.) Almost any text or handbook on corrosion will have galvanic series table. The farther two metals or alloys are separated on the table, faster the corrosion of the less noble of the two will be when they are in contact. Larry Hankematerials testing laboratory Minneapolis, Minnesota (2001)A. Just additional note - Tin plate the copper bolts or other copper parts this will help stop or slow the galvanic attack. Chris Snyderplater - Charlotte, North Carolina (2001)A. Also look into getting your copper busbar with a silver coating factory applied. This will improve bolted joints by reducing the resistance, and resists corrosion. Also, since it turns reddish black copper to a nice uniform grey, it blends nicely with the natural aluminum color. \"\" Silver Flash\"\" coatings are very thin, so additional cost runs only pennies more, per foot than plain busbar."

It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and stopping corrosion. In the most common use of the word, this means electrochemical oxidation of metal in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen or sulfur. Rusting, the formation of iron oxides, is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion. This type of damage typically produces oxide (s) or salt (s) of the original metal, and results in a distinctive orange colouration. Corrosion can also occur in materials other than metals, such as ceramics or polymers, although in this context, the term \"\"degradation\"\" is more common. Corrosion degrades the useful properties of materials and structures including strength, appearance and permeability to liquids and gases. Many structural alloys corrode merely from exposure to moisture in air, but the process can be strongly affected by exposure to certain substances."

"text": "\"Visit Hammer Zone on Facebook What Is A Pressure Tank? Why Do You Need It? When a house is built in an area that is not served by a municipal water works, a private well system is used. The well pumps used in most systems are quite powerful, often capable of delivering more gallons of water per minute than any single faucet could draw. Everybody I have spoken to in the plumbing or water-well business says that well pumps can burn out prematurely if they are made to start and stop more than necessary. By using a holding tank, the water can be used in a leisurely manner over a long time, and the pump will run briefly to refill the tank. A pressure tank can be as simple as a big metal chamber with one hole in the bottom for water to flow into. As the pump pushes water in, the air in the tank is compressed. At some point, called the cut-out pressure, a switch interrupts the power to the pump and no more water enters the tank. Since there is compressed air above the water, there is enough force acting on the liquid to push it out of the tank, through the pipes, and all the way upstairs (possibly several flights of stairs) to the faucet."

"text": "\"You know the smell: a combination of rotten egg, a little ammonia, and just plain nasty. Low levels of sewer gas are annoying, but higher concentrations can be dangerous. There are three ways that sewer gas gets into a home. A loss of a plumbing fixture’s water reservoir, called a “trap,” is the first one. Each fixture has a trap in the drain pipe below it (circled under a bathroom sink in the picture above) or the trap is an integral part of the fixture. Often called a “P-trap,” although it is more of a “U” shape, the water in the trap acts as a seal to keep the gas from rising up through the drain. The trap seal can be lost due to evaporation of all the liquid in it, which is common in floor drains, for example, that haven’t had anything rinsed down them in a while. Also, a type of unvented drain configuration call an “S-trap” sometimes will suck all the liquid in the trap down the drain as it pulls air from the drain opening to allow the drain cycle to finish. S-traps are not code-approved, although we see them occasionally in older homes or a haphazard remodeling. If you follow your nose to the smell and its emanating from a drain that hasn’t been used recently, just open the tap for a few seconds or, in the case of a floor drain, pour a few cups of water down it."

A New Way to Duct HRVs Instead of pulling exhaust air from bathrooms and the laundry room, consider exhausting stale air from bedrooms Posted on Apr 22 2011 by Martin Holladay Most manufacturers recommend that an HRV or ERV should pull exhaust air from bathrooms and the laundry room. But in a small superinsulated house, it might make more sense to pull exhaust air from bedrooms. UPDATED June 27, 2013 with an author's postscript Nine years ago, I co-authored a Journal of Light Construction article with David Hansen on HRV installation. The article noted, “Stale air is exhausted from bathrooms, the laundry, and the kitchen. ( An HRV is not intended to handle grease or smoke, so a range hood should be separately exhausted to the exterior.) Fresh air is supplied to the bedrooms, living room, and other living areas.” This advice is consistent with the long-standing recommendations of most HRV manufacturers. The advice is logical: after all, it makes sense to exhaust air from the smelliest rooms in the home and to supply the fresh air to the rooms where people spend most of their indoor hours. Although this traditional ventilation duct layout works well, I’ve begun to rethink the issue lately."

The polybutylene joints were made with crimp rings instead of the traditional torch and solder. Plumbers also loved it because they were the only ones with the tools to install the crimp rings and when there was an issue it had to be professionally corrected. The water damage issues started to appear by the 1980's as many of the pipes began to fail. When the pipes were opened up the plumbers found degradation to the interior walls of the pipes and plastic fittings.

However… If your water supply is from a pump and/or well on your property, skip this page and go to How to Measure the GPM & PSI from a Pump or Well page. If your water comes from a tank or other gravity fed system, skip this page and go to How to Measure the GPM & PSI from a Gravity Fed Water System. If you have a printer, there is a Sprinkler System Design Data Form that will make things easier for you. There is also a PDF version of the Sprinkler System Design Data Form. The path ahead viewed dimly through the fog??? What we’re about to embark on here is known as “doing it the right way”. We are going to start by figuring out what the maximum water supply would be if you had perfect conditions, such as a very short pipe from the water meter to your house, lots of water pressure, a small yard, a happy family, a low interest rate mortgage, and good neighbors! Then we are going to modify that number later in the tutorial to reflect your actual conditions (long pipe, lousy water pressure, bad neighbors, whatever. ) The end result is that we will determine what the exact, optimum water supply is for designing your sprinkler system."

What is Hydraulics? A hydraulic system uses compressed fluid to transfer force applied at one point to another point. The basic components that make up a hydraulic system are: Reservoir Pump Valves Fluid Motor Hose Filter Cylinder The hydraulic reservoir stores non-pressurized hydraulic fluid, typically hydraulic oil. This fluid is the lifeblood of the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil also travels through a filter that collects impurities. Hydraulic pumps transfer the fluid from the reservoir to the hydraulic system. This transfer raises the energy level of the fluid by increasing its pressure. The motor provides the power source for the pump. The high-pressure fluid acts upon the rod and piston within a hydraulic cylinder."

It’s also one of the greatest muscle building exercises in existence, which is precisely why it’s been called the upper body squat. The Pull up is also one of the most effective body weight exercises for back muscles. Lat pulldowns can’t even come close to comparing. Whenever you move your body through space, the level of neuromuscular activation is dramatically higher. With this in mind, many workout routines now incorporate the pull up as one of the main exercises when working the upper body."

It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and stopping corrosion. In the most common use of the word, this means electrochemical oxidation of metal in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen or sulfur. Rusting, the formation of iron oxides, is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion. This type of damage typically produces oxide (s) or salt (s) of the original metal, and results in a distinctive orange colouration. Corrosion can also occur in materials other than metals, such as ceramics or polymers, although in this context, the term \"\"degradation\"\" is more common. Corrosion degrades the useful properties of materials and structures including strength, appearance and permeability to liquids and gases. Many structural alloys corrode merely from exposure to moisture in air, but the process can be strongly affected by exposure to certain substances."

Over the past 15 years we have had 4 leaks in the same cold water plumbing line. In each case the hole was about the size of a bb when we fixed it. During the repair of the latest leak, the plumber said this could be caused by electrolysis. How can I confirm this and how can I stop it from continuing? The plumber said the pipe run leaks at the point of greatest weakness (or thinning) and that this run may have to be replaced to keep from having more leaks. The plumbing is over 30 years old in our house. Bill Luisi Homeowner - Carrollton, Texas (2003)A. What the plumber may be alluding to is the fact that galvanic corrosion occurs may occur if dissimilar metals are connected together in a plumbing system. I saw a \"\"handyman\"\" TV show a few nights ago where the plumber installed dielectric unions to solve this problem. These are basically just unions that have plastic washers and bushings that prevent electrical contact. Ted Mooney, P. E. RETfinishing.com Pine Beach, New Jersey (2004)Q.

These come in three basic sizes, paired with a variety of LNB (low-noise block converter) configurations. Originally, when Direc TV did not yet offer local programming, they still used the simple 18-inch round dish with a single LNB. This is no longer used today for new installs, though it is possible to pick up a signal using this obsolete hardware. Video of the Day18- by 24-inch Dish This is the original \"\"oval\"\" dish that Direc TV produced. It is no longer being used in new installations, but can still be found in many locations. It was the first dish that supported multiple satellites. It originally came in a dual-LNB arrangement. Some versions use two separate LNBs rather than a single unit. It used a combining device to merge the signals for the cable run."

Multichannel television in the United States has been available since at least 1948. The United States is served by cable television systems, direct-broadcast satellite providers, and various other wireline video providers; among the largest television providers in the U. S. are AT&T (through its Direc TV and U-verse divisions), Altice USA, Charter Communications (through its Spectrum division, which includes the former Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks systems), Comcast (through its Xfinity division), Dish Network, and Verizon Communications (through its Fi OS division). [ 1]Initially serving as a means to provide local television stations to customers who could not receive them over-the-air, the deployments of communications satellites made it financially feasible for broadcasters to distribute channels of national interest to cable, and later satellite television providers, such as superstations and premium television services. By 1980, 15 million of the approximately 80 million television-owning households in the U. S. subscribed to a multichannel television service. In the 1990s, digital multichannel services, such as direct-broadcast satellite and digital cable, experienced a surge in popularity due to their increased channel capacity As of 2017, approximately 79% of U. S. TV households have a television subscription; the market share of multichannel television began to erode in the mid-2010s due to the increasing popularity of subscription-based online video services, the increasing costs of these services due to the carriage fees demanded by major channels, as well as consumers intentionally dropping traditional television service in favor of online alternatives, or never subscribing to such a service at all.

However, customers can easily install the Direc TV satellite dish on their own. Here are some tips. When installing a Direc TV satellite dish it is important to first have all the major parts necessary to install it and connect it to the TV set. These parts include the Direc TV satellite dish, any hardware necessary to install the dish, special cable, telephone line cable, Direc TV satellite dish receiver, and a TV set. Direc TV Satellite Dish The Direc TV satellite dish is what makes it possible to receive satellite signals from space and send these signals to a TV set. The satellite dish is what will be installed outside on the roof, balcony, exterior wall, or from a terrestrial location such as a pole on the ground. The satellite dish is round and is approximately 20 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It is important to note that besides this size dish, there is another size dish available if the Direc TV World Direct Service package is ordered.

"text": "LNB (Low Noise Block)An LNB (Low Noise Block aka LNC- Low Noise Converter) is used for communications (broadcast) satellite reception. The LNB is usually affixed either in or on the satellite dish. The LNB’s purpose is to utilize the super heterodyne effect and amplify and convert a wide block (band) of frequencies. This helps compensate the signal loss associated with typical coaxial cable at relatively high frequencies. The term ‘low noise’ relates to the quality of the 1st stage input amplifier transistor, measured in either called Noise Temperature units, Noise Figure units, or Noise Factor units. Both Noise Factor and Noise Figure are easily converted into Noise Temperature units. A lower Noise Temperature rating is always better (i.e. an LNB with a Noise Temperature of 100K is 2x as good as one rated 200K). The term ‘Block’ refers to the conversion of a higher block of microwave frequencies (received from the satellite- typically in the range 4 GHz to 21 GHz) being down converted to a lower block range of frequencies for the receiver. The “low-noise” part also indicates that amplification and mixing takes place prior to cable attenuation in a circuit that requires no power supply or receiver. With the high frequencies that satellites operate at, it is critical that the noise is controlled prior to signal processing."

"text": "Satellite TV, Simplified: How Does Satellite TV Work?by Darrin Meyer Satellite TV can be a viable alternative to cable for many consumers, as it delivers hundreds of digital and HD channels plus features and options that compare with and sometimes top those offered by cable providers. All you need is the proper equipment to receive programming, which can be a plus for those in rural areas. Still, there is a lot of technology involved from source to endpoint to bring that programming to the TV. Transmissions Satellite TV broadcasts, at their most basic, are similar to terrestrial broadcasts. They are sent out from a powerful antenna at the uplink station as radio waves which are (for digital transmissions) converted into streams of digital data. The data is compressed using specific digital file formats such as MPEG-2 to send the greatest amount of data within the allowed bandwidth. The waves travel only in a straight line, so broadcasters direct the transmissions toward satellites that have been launched into orbit, which redirect the signals toward the earth. Transmissions can occupy different frequency ranges, which are known as the C Band, Ku Band and Ka Band. Satellites Communications satellites are considered geosynchronous or geostationary, which means they revolve around the earth in a specified orbit at the same speed as the earth itself, directly above the equator at a height of 22,300 miles (36,000 km). Those used for TV transmissions can either be a Medium Power Satellite (MPS), which transmit at 50 watts, or a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS), which can transmit at up to 10 times that power."

If I go down my entire guide of programs that are available I believe the free programs equal or exceed the subscribed programs. Another solution would be to put all of the \"\"FREE\"\" programs in the same number group, such as PPV, and not include them in the package programs.

Using these satellite receivers, one can legally receive TV signals without subscription. The signal is typically encoded in an MPEG-2 video and may be restricted geographically. In some places around the world, people can receive encrypted Free to Air satellite channels through the UHF and VHF band. The channels transmitted through Free to Air satellite are received by utilizing a common MPEG-2 video compatible satellite receiver. Many people use FTA to receive thousands of satellite TV channels free of charge. The equipment needed for you to enjoy the freebies are an FTA receiver (and here one has a choice between Pansat, Coolsat, Conaxsat, and many other great brand names) and a satellite dish within the specifics required by the satellite one wishes to point at. However, many satellites only require a standard DTV compliant dish that can be easily found in any satellite TV or electronic store. Both C-band and K-Band dishes work just fine. If you wish to receive channels from more than one satellite, you will also need to have an antenna motor and the LNBF."

You must also purchase a satellite antenna (dish or dome) to capture the signal, and buy or lease the receiver that processes it for your TV. Equipment costs for a satellite system can be anywhere from around $100.00 for a simple tripod-mounted dish to as much as $1800.00 for an in-motion dome system or automatic RV satellite dish. The receiver for the satellite signals is extra and may be leased from the satellite provider or purchased outright. Some new RVs come equipped with a satellite dome or may be pre-wired for RV satellite TV service. Equipment may also be present in a used RV, but you still have to contract with a satellite TV service to utilize it. Getting set up for RV satellite service can be frustrating—the local satellite dealers rarely know much about mobile satellite service for RVs and many will not work on them at all. An RV dealer or a store like Camping World is a better source for help in getting started with RV satellite TV service, but they tend to sell canned packages that may or may not be exactly what you want.

This article discusses how to take care of your ceiling fan if you already have one, how to fix what typically goes wrong, and what to consider if you are planning on buying one. This article has four sections: Benefits Routine Maintenance What Typically Goes Wrong Buying Considerations BENEFITSYou are probably familiar with the term \"\"wind chill\"\" in the wintertime. It refers to the fact that when the wind is blowing across your skin, that the increased evaporation of moisture from your skin makes you feel colder than the actual temperature of the air. Well this same wind chill effect works in the summertime. When a ceiling fan circulates air in the room, this enables moisture in your skin to evaporate quicker, and as a result, you feel cooler . . . even though the temperature of the air in the room has not changed. And if you a fortunate enough to have air conditioning in your home, it is because of the wind chill effect that a ceiling fan can reduce your electric bill in the spring and summer. When your ceiling fan helps you to feel several degrees cooler, then this is several degrees that you can raise the thermostat on your air conditioner. And since an energy efficient ceiling fan only uses about 100 watts of energy, compared to central AC at 3,500 watts or a room AC unit at 900 watts . . ."

"text": "Heating & Cooling Which Direction Should a Ceiling Fan Rotate? How to keep warm (or cooler) air moving to make the room comfortable By Mariette Mifflin Updated 11/15/17Share Pin Email John Burke/Stockbyte/Getty Images What is the correct ceiling fan direction during summer and winter? Is your ceiling fan on the proper seasonal rotation? It could save you energy dollars if it rotates in the proper direction depending on whether it is winter or summer. Ceiling fans provide great air circulation and you can optimize these benefits by ensuring the ceiling fan rotation of the blades is correct for circulating warm air during winter or creating a breeze effect by moving or circulating the air better, during a hot summer. During Winter Heating To help move warm air that is trapped on the ceiling, blades should turn 'forward' in a clockwise motion. This movement will push up the air and pull the warm trapped air down the sides of the room improving heat distribution. During Hot Summer Weather To help produce a comfortable breeze or 'windchill' that cools the skin, blades should rotate in a 'reverse' counter-clockwise motion. The air movement has the same comfortable effect as when you fan yourself with a magazine to get relief from hot, stifling air. Ceiling fans in themselves do not heat or cool a room, but the ceiling fan rotation allows improved air circulation, which can greatly improve the comfort of your living space."

To replace the switch, you will need to know whether it operates the fan or light. If the switch goes to the fan, you will need to know how many speeds the fan has. Here’s how to go about it: Start by turning off the circuit breaker to the fan. Next, remove the cover on the fan housing or the globe light so you can access the switch, and unscrew the nut on the outside of the switch that holds it on. Pull the switch out of the housing from the inside, leaving the wires attached. Examine the switch to see if the chain can be reattached. If not, carefully note the colors of the wires and the terminal each attaches to (take a picture with a digital camera or cell phone or draw a diagram of the switch). Detach the wires and take the switch—along with the model and make of the fan—with you to the home center for a replacement."

Most people can be comfortable at a setting of 68 - 70° - each degree higher than that can increase your heating costs by 1- 3%. Q. I've heard that setting back my heat can actually cost me more when I turn the thermostat back up - is this true? A. With most heating systems, you will save by turning the thermostat back for four hours or more. If you have a heat pump, you should either set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature and leave it, or use a programmable thermostat specifically designed for a heat pump. Q. How often should I change the filters in my forced air heating or air conditioning system? A. You should check your filters on a regular basis (monthly checks are recommended), and replace them whenever they appear dirty. A dirty filter can interfere with the proper air flow through the system, making it work harder and increasing operating costs. Q. How often should I have my heating system serviced?"

"text": "\"Ceiling Fan Direction Which way should a ceiling fan spin during summer or winter? The information on this page has been awarded #1 answer at Yahoo! Answers on many occasions! \"\" OK...so the most common technical question that people ask regarding ceiling fans is \"\"What direction should my fan spin during the summer and winter\"\" and \"\"Why? \"\" Quick Answer: I say quick answer, because this is a very generalized answer, which in many (or most) cases is not necessarily correct. But, I will state this answer first simply because it is what has been the industry wide answer for over 100 years. \"\" During the summer you want the fan to blow air straight down, so your ceiling fan needs to run in a counter clockwise direction (as you look up at it). The warmer it is, the higher the speed should be. During the winter, your fan should run at a low speed in a clockwise direction.\"\" Read the more detailed answer below to really understand this answer as there are many exceptions to this rule."

"text": "\"3 Helpful? Ceiling Fans Are Evil How can something so simple be good and bad at the same time? Posted on Jul 16 2013 by Carl Seville Image 1 of 2This standard ceiling fan heats up to about 100°F when running, adding heat to a house. If no one is sitting or standing near the fan, leaving it on is senseless and counterproductive. I can’t count the number of times I have walked past a neighbor’s home and seen the porch ceiling fans running with no one there to appreciate them. All the fans are doing is wasting electricity and contributing a little heat to the outdoor air. I am tempted (although I have never acted on the impulse) to pull the chains and turn the fans off or leave the neighbors a note. Now, leaving porch fans on is bad, but nowhere near as bad as doing it indoors, especially in the summer. I am surprised at how few people understand the basic concept of fans — that they make you feel cool due to the movement of air across your skin. The same way a breeze cools you off, a ceiling fan can make you feel cooler, but only if you are close enough to it to feel the air blowing on you."

Installing a ceiling fan can also add style to the space while lowering energy costs year-round when operated properly. Ceiling fans create a “ wind chill ” effect during the warmer months and help distribute warm air evenly throughout a room during the coolers months by spinning in reverse mode. Check out our Ceiling Fan Direction post for further information on what direction your fan should be rotating and why in the summer and winter months. Before installing your ceiling fan…- Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in the ceiling.- Identify wires and make sure you can connect the wires properly.- Make sure you can lift at least 40 lbs. If the fan is heavier make sure you have some help.- Make sure the Floor to Blade Clearance is going to be at least 7 feet.

The variety of this device that’s been popular lately is the solar-powered attic ventilator. Using the Sun to make the electricity for this fan, however, makes it only marginally better than its grid-powered cousin. Oh, yes, power attic ventilators will probably keep your attic cooler, and that means you’ll have less conductive heat transfer across your ceiling. The problem is that a significant portion of the cooling in your attic will be provided by your air conditioner. So, you spend money to buy the fan, to run the fan if it’s not solar, and then your air conditioning bill goes up, too. How can that be, you ask? Isn’t it supposed to pull that blazing hot air from the attic and send it outside, replacing it with much cooler outdoor air that gets pulled in through the soffit and gable vents? In marketing theory, yes. Building science shows a different result, however."

"text": "As you are aware, the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. During the regular tracking though, the sun moves towards the north, making north the best face to maximise your solar gain. Another factor to take into account when optimising your solar gain is the season. As you can see in the diagram, solar gain in summer is higher due to the position of the sun. In winter, the sun is further north, however the angle is not as optimal compared to summer. This being said, if you have northern facing roof space free from any obstructions such as trees or buildings, then you should opt to install solar panels there, so that you are guaranteed the best solar gain. Solar gain and solar panel directional losses You can also install solar panels on the east and the west facing front It’s not uncommon to have solar panels installed on the east or west facing sides of your home or business. Although the solar gain is lower, the directional losses are not that great. The solar panel directional losses for north-east and north-west vary from around 3% to 4%. For an east or west facing roof, your solar gain loss will be around 12% to 18%An experienced solar installer or sales rep will be able to work out the optimum solar panel direction and angle on your property, to will give you the most solar gain and best return on investment."

"text": "\"Solar PV Costs To Fall Another 25% In Three Years Twitter Google+ Linked In Pinterest May 26th, 2015 by Giles Parkinson Originally published on Renew Economy The big fall in solar PV costs over the last five years is helping redefine the future of energy generation across the world, with grid parity in the retail market achieved in dozens of countries, and even beating wholesale prices in markets such as Chile and the Middle East. And it seems that the cost falls will continue. Canadian Solar, one of the big three global solar PV manufacturers, this week delivered a detailed update of its outlook, including some interesting forecasts on the future of solar PV costs. In short, Canadian Solar says the cost of solar PV modules will likely fall 25 per cent in the next three years, from US47c/watt at the end of 2014, to US36c/watt at the end of 2017. This is mainly going to be achieved by improvements in cell efficiency and the output of solar PV modules. Canadian says it has been able to increase cell efficiency at 0.5 per cent per year over the past five years, and it expects this to continue, or even accelerate. It is now targeting cell efficiency of 22 per cent and module power outputs of 310W. Commercial efficiency will rise to around 20 per cent from 16-17 per cent today. This comes as it plans to almost double solar module production to 5.5GW per annum by fiscal 2017. ( That conforms then to the past experience that solar PV costs fall by 20 per cent for every doubling in capacity). It’s not just the cost of modules that will drive a significant reduction in costs at the consumer end."

( AFP / Getty Images)California utility regulators narrowly passed new rules that will increase costs for owners of rooftop solar systems, part of a broad reshaping of the state's energy future. The California Public Utilities Commission, on a 3-2 vote Thursday, stopped short of the even higher charges that the state's investor-owned utilities wanted. The opposing commissioners said they voted against the proposal because of the last-minute elimination of an electricity transmission fee, a move that they said made the overall arrangement too rich for the solar industry. The decision, which initially applies only to new solar panel systems, was viewed by some as a compromise. But others say it's a defeat for the utilities. Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric and Pacific Gas & Electric had pressed the commission to charge solar owners hefty fees that the solar industry said would crush their business. By Edison's account, the average solar customer under the current structure has a monthly electric bill of about $82. Under the commission's decision, that would increase to $91. A utility counterproposal would have increased it to $103. \"\""

"text": "How much does it cost to install solar panels? In recent years, the price of solar panels has become far more affordable. Solar panels effectively make electricity by utilizing the sun’s energy. The panels are made up of many photovoltaic cells that are linked together and work in unison. Sunlight shines onto the panels and the cells within the panels convert the light into usable energy. The energy is then sent onwards to an inverter which converts it to electricity. An average household in the United States consumes about 1 k W per hour (k Wh) of electricity. Each 30-day month has 720 hours and the average price of 1 k W is $0.10. A solar panel has the capability of generating 10 kilowatts per square foot. For every k W generated, you will need 100 square feet of solar panels to power 100 square feet of home space."

After 12 months, we’ve created 13.8 megawatt hours of electricity while using only 7.59 megawatt hours. The energy surplus becomes a credit on our electric bill and once per year, our electric company issues us a check for any unused credit. So what was the installation and usage experience like? Overall, it’s been excellent and I’ll share the pros, cons, and actual costs of our project in an effort to shed more light on any solar panel projects you might be considering.

By: PVPower.com Staff Contributor - February 12, 2010As the solar industry continues to grow at rapid rate for both commercial and residential needs, there are still basic questions from the public on the true costs and benefits when investing in a solar system. Specifically, how much would a solar installation cost and how much energy will it produce? Solar PV (Photovoltaic) residential systems are one of the most common and fast-growing solar solutions. These kits generate electricity and are based on three major components: solar panels to generate electricity, an inverter to convert the electricity into household use, and a mounting structure to secure the equipment. The standard solar pv systems are\"\"grid tied\"\", which means that it connects into the existing utility grid to supplement the overall electricity supply. To understand the rough cost of what a residential grid-tied pv system could provide your home, here is the standard information needed to work through an estimate: 1) budget 2) location 3) total space available 4) direction the panels would face and angle 5) cost of electricity from your utility Lets assume the following information for a sample cost-out: 1) $40,000 or less 2) Chicago, IL 3) 600 square feet of roof 4) South facing at 30 degree angle 5) Com Ed rate of $0.14/kwh (the local utility company)Now we apply additional solar information towards the specific evaluation: 1) $40,000 or less 2) Chicago, IL provides approximately 3.5 hours of quality sun each day, or 106 hours of solar hours each month 3) 600 ft of roof could fit approximately 33, 175 watt solar panels (18 sf per panel); 33 panels x 175 watts = 5.775 kilowatt system 4) South facing locations at approximately 30 degrees typically produces the best results, specifically in shade free locations 5) 5.775 kilowatt system produces this amount of electricity each hour of quality sun; 5.775kw x 106 hours per month = 612 kwh each month; 612 kwh x $0.14/kwh from Com Ed = $85 in electric savings each month The average cost of a grid-tie system including all products, installation and processing fees is around $7/watt. In the sample evaluation, $7/watt x 5,775 watt system = $40,425. In Illinois, the current state rebate is 30% of the cost of the solar kit."

I too have similar plans and here's what I can tell you: You will have to save considerably as you do not get bank loans for B Khata land/ agricultural land. The price depends on the location. I am considering Coorg/Sakleshpur or Pomogranate/mango/grape farm around Tumkur which is 150-200 Kms from Bangalore. With current prices the cost would be around 15 to 20L Regarding the solar power system I found this interesting: Solar panels india, solar panels cost, solar panels cost calculation, solar panel price india, solar panels in chennai, solar panels in delhi, - EAI Club The question I want to ask you is what do you want to do with the 1-2 acre land? Just instal Solar panels and sell power? If that is the case you can lease it to Govt. I know my relatives in my hometown who are now doing solar farming and making good money."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Photovoltaic module)navigation search For solar thermal panels, see solar thermal energy. Solar PV modules (top) and two solar hot water panels (bottom) mounted on rooftops Photovoltaic solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connect assembly of typically 6x10 photovoltaic solar cells. Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions (STC), and typically ranges from 100 to 365 Watts (W). The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 W module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 W module. There are a few commercially available solar modules that exceed efficiency of 22% [1] and reportedly also exceeding 24%. [ 2] [3]A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes an array of photovoltaic modules, an inverter, a battery pack for storage, interconnection wiring, and optionally a solar tracking mechanism. The most common application of solar panels is solar water heating systems. ["

If you are planning on installing a solar energy system yourself or hiring someone to install the system, then you need to know what your most important choices are. Looking at all of the different equipment and options can be intimidating at first-even for an experienced DIY-er. This article will allow you to master some of the choices you will face as you are installing solar panels so that you can live long and prosper with your solar energy system. In this article, we will review the elements of a solar energy system and open the door for you to design your new project. Once you have a general understanding of how the solar energy system functions, choosing the right parts will become much easier. This article will describe the parts of a standard grid tie (or on the grid) system. Staying connected to the power grid means you’ll still receive power from the utility company when you need it, and in some states you may even be able to sell your excess power back to the utility. First, we’ll discuss the components of the grid-tie system so that you know what to buy and what to plan for. Then, we’ll review some of the options that are available with each of the parts."

Evaluation Primer The ball bar A Ball Bar consists of two very round spheres of exactly the same diameter securely attached to the opposite ends of a rather long rigid bar (see Fig. # 1.). The center to center distance between the two spheres is absolutely constant. This means that no matter where the Ball Bar is positioned within the Coordinate Measuring Machine envelope it should measure exactly the same length. In reality what is measured is the sphere center to sphere center dimension. This distance should measure exactly the same because the intersphere dimension of a Ball Bar is the length of an infinitely small center of one sphere to that of the other. For this reason, there are absolutely no chances for any of the alignment or cosine errors that are so common to all flat parallel artifacts such as gage blocks, end standards and step gages. Standard Ball Bar (Figure #1)Installing the ball bar Most Ball Bars are rather long so they are very sensitive to the heat transmitted through hand contact by the calibration technician. Any hand contact should be limited to a very minimum and the technician should wear gloves to slow down heat transfer. After any hand contact, a thirty minute soaking period should be allowed for the Ball Bar to achieve thermal equilibrium with the C. M. M. environment, before any serious measurements are made."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( September 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, including mechanical, optical, laser, and white light. Depending on the machine, the probe position may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled. CMMs typically specify a probe's position in terms of its displacement from a reference position in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (i.e., with XYZ axes). In addition to moving the probe along the X, Y, and Z axes, many machines also allow the probe angle to be controlled to allow measurement of surfaces that would otherwise be unreachable.

"text": "\"Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) Information Show all Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) Manufacturers Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are mechanical systems designed to move a measuring probe to determine coordinates of points on a workpiece surface. They provide precise measurements of objects for design, testing, assessment, profiling, and reverse engineering of parts. Machines are available in a wide range of sizes and designs. They use a variety of different interfaces and modeling software. How Do Coordinate Measuring Machines Work? CMMs are comprised of three main components: the machine itself, the measuring probe, and the control or computing system with appropriate measuring software. After placing a workpiece on the machine table, a probe is used to measure different points on it by mapping the x, y, z coordinates. The probe operates either manually via an operator or automatically via a control system. These points are then uploaded to a computer interface where they can be analyzed using modeling software (e.g. CAD) and regression algorithms for further development.

We have been asked to write a report on a CMM - it's structure, probe, etc. I am picking bits and pieces from the net but I'm confused over a few points: 1. What are the steps involved in measuring a part, is the first thing to calibrated the probe? 2. How and why do we align the axes - and what is the importance of this? 3. When our lecturer gave us a demonstration, he aligned the z axis. Then the machine was able to automatically probe the piece (gearbox) and give the results on the PC."

But creating a comprehensive maintenance program that is effective poses some interesting challenges. It would be difficult to appreciate the subtleties of what makes a maintenance plan effective without understanding how the plan forms part of the total maintenance environment. This article explains what makes the difference between an ordinary maintenance plan and a good, effective maintenance program. Defining the Terms Maintenance practitioners across industry use many maintenance terms to mean different things. So to level the playing field, it is necessary to explain the way in which a few of these terms have been utilized throughout this document to ensure common understanding by all who read it. It must be emphasized, however, that this is the author’s preferred interpretation of these terms, and should not necessarily be taken as gospel truth. In sporting parlance, the maintenance policy defines the “rules of the game”, whereas the maintenance strategy defines the “game plan” for that game or season. Maintenance policy – Highest-level document, typically applies to the entire site. Maintenance strategy – Next level down, typically reviewed and updated every 1 to 2 years."

The CMMI was developed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University as a process improvement tool for projects, divisions or organizations. The Do D and U. S. Government helped develop the CMMI, which is a common requirement for Do D and U. S. Government software development contracts. The CMMI is currently administered by the CMMI Institute, which was purchased by the ISACA in 2016. CMMI model The CMMI starts with an appraisal process that evaluates three specific areas: process and service development, service establishment and management, and product and service acquisition.

You can walk onto a workroom floor any hour of the day or night and the activity never ceases. That is one of many reasons why SCCY is now among the most successful pocket pistols manufacturers in the country. Pronounced “Sky” after the original Skyy Industries founded in 2003 by CEO Joe Roebuck, the SCCY CPX-3 is the company’s first .380 ACP pistol and the first SCCY model to utilize the innovative Roebuck Quad-Lock system for improved barrel stability and accuracy. In creating the Quad-Lock system, Roebuck, who is also the company’s head of design and engineering, addressed a common problem with .380 autopistols as well as other semi-automatics using a locked-breech design."

To understand this test, it is important to know that blood consists of two major parts: plasma and cellular elements. The plasma is the part of the blood that is liquid which allows the blood to flow easily. The other part of the blood consists of blood cells. The major cells in the blood are white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and platelets. Each of these types of cells carries out specific and important functions.

Benefits in Using CMMICapability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a product suite developed and maintained by the Software Engineering Institute ( SEI) at Carnegie Mellon Univ. to improve the organisational process maturity in the fields of product development, acquisition, and service delivering. CMMI is a process improvement approach that provides organisations with the essential elements for effective process improvement in software engineering, organisational change, and organisational development. The model defines what processes and activities need to be done and not how these processes and activities are done. The goal of CMMI is process improvement and CMMI can be thought of as a software process improvement framework. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organisation. CMMI helps to integrate traditionally separate organisational functions, to set process improvement goals and priorities, to provide guidance for quality processes, and to provide a point of reference for appraising current processes. The CMMI product suite can provide verification that processes are established, maintained, and implemented consistent with state-of-the-art understanding as to what constitutes \"\"world class performance. However, CMMI will not provide validation that an organisation has the correct product for the customers or market or that a product itself is profitable."

Success or failure with a weight loss plan has many elements in common with the application of sound maintenance principles and may help us avoid some common traps and failures. This maintenance management article will hopefully provide some guidance. Maintenance Management and Weight Loss Most of us want to lose weight several times in a lifetime. The usual pattern is either to reduce caloric intake (eat less) or increase our overall metabolic level (exercise more) or a combination of both. We further wow to stick to our plan (discipline).

To produce interchangeable parts in a manufacturing environment, the design must be sound enough to allow mating parts to work correctly. Furthermore, the industrial process must be robust enough to produce parts called out in design in an efficient and predictable manner. Likewise, measurement of the final parts must be done easily and with confidence to verify the in-process or final products. For example, inspecting a bore in an open setup often requires multiple measurement steps and mathematical calculations. Portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) technology can alleviate much of this work by allowing the user to fix the part in one spot, take several points to create an alignment of x and y axes, and measure the bore. Software is then able to determine the position of the bore and its deviation from the called out position. Traditionally, to find the deviation from a feature’s true position (sometimes simply called the position), the \"\"open setup\"\" is used. This process involves the use of calipers, height gauges, micrometers, and other hand tools used in conjunction with an inspection plate to take measurements and compare the feature’s position to datums. Following the appropriate measurements, the true position diametrical deviation, D, must then be calculated via the following mathematical formula (equation 1): D = 2 { (Δx)2 + (Δy)2}1/2, where Δx = the deviation from the true position along the x-axis, and Δy = the deviation from the true position along the y-axis Consider the following situation (shown in figure 1 below), which is one of the simplest examples using the open setup method."

The Perseid meteor shower, one of the brighter meteor showers of the year, occurs every year between July 17 and August 24. The shower tends to peak around August 9-13. The best time to view the Perseids, and most other meteor showers, is when the sky is the darkest. Most astronomers suggest that depending on the Moon’s phase, the best time to view meteor showers is right before dawn. Sunrise & sunset in your city Comet Swift-Tuttle Made of tiny space debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseids are named after the constellation Perseus.

When the celestial show hits its peak overnight Wednesday next week, up to 100 shooting stars per hour will streak across the sky for a spectacle visible around the globe. In a lucky development, the Moon's glow will not interfere with meteor-watching, as it will be approaching its darkest or \"\"new\"\" phase, experts say. \"\" It's going to be a spectacular show this year,\"\" astronomer Morgan Hollis of the Royal Astronomical Society told AFP. \"\" You'll be able to a see a lot more than normal. \"\" The mid-July to mid-August light show comes from the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle, which swings around the Solar System every 130 years or so, depositing debris in Earth's orbit as it nears the Sun. As Earth races around the Sun, these grains smash into the atmosphere at about 60 kilometres (37 miles) per second, burning up in flashes of light. Occasionally, longer and brighter streaks are seen, from pea- or marble-sized comet remnants. The showers—named after the constellation of Perseus from which they appear to fly out—peak when Earth passes through the heart of the debris field. The Perseids are also known as the \"\"tears of St. Lawrence\"\" in honour of a martyred Christian saint."

Meteoroids are small particles — often no bigger than a grain of sand — that orbit our Sun. When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they produce brilliant streaks of light that can be seen in our sky. These brief streaks of light — and the particles that are moving through our atmosphere — are meteors. Meteorites are rocks from space that actually have landed on Earth’s — or another planet’s — surface. How Are Asteroids and Comets Related to Meteorites? Asteroids are rocky bodies, less than 1000 kilometers across, that orbit our Sun. Asteroids occur in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are masses of ice and dust, less than 10 kilometers across, that usually stay in the cold outer reaches of our solar system."

"text": "\"There are quite a few objects in the universe capable of causing a really, really bad day on planet Earth, including a wayward comet or large asteroid. Most meteors, however, are not very high on an astronomer 's scale of scary extraterrestrial events. There are a number of differences between a comet and a meteor, from their general composition to the roles they play in the universe. A comet is a celestial object believed to be composed primarily of space dust and frozen gases. Experts think they are born somewhere in the outer parts of the universe and are not related to the formation of our solar system at all. A comet follows an orbit that may bring it close to a star, such as the Sun, and as it approaches the star, a portion of its ice core may melt and release a trail of dust-sized particles. This cycle can continue for millions of years. A meteor, on the other hand, is a bit of rock or other debris, and it does not follow an orbit around the Sun. It even has a different name while it remains floating in outer space — it's called a meteoroid. It's only known as a meteor when it enters the Earth's atmosphere."

"text": "\"Star Child Question of the Month for August 1999Question: What causes a \"\"falling star\"\"? Answer: 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. At certain times of year, you are likely to see a great number of meteors in the night sky. These events are called meteor showers and they occur when the Earth passes through the trail of debris left by a comet as it orbits the Sun. These showers are given names based on the constellation present in the sky from which they appear to originate. For example, the Leonid Meteor Shower, or Leonids, appear to originate in the constellation Leo."

At the same time, Earth’s southern axis points away from the sun, signaling the start of the winter season, with shorter days and longer nights. This year, the June solstice officially kicks off at 6:34 p.m. ET (22:34 UT), the precise time when the sun attains its northernmost position in our sky. Also this year, the June full moon, sometimes called the strawberry moon, will be rising in the east just after the sun sets in the west, flooding our surroundings with lunar light throughout the overnight period. This year, the moon enters its full phase at 7:02 a.m. ET (11:02 UT) on June 20, so the two events are separated by about 12 hours. The last time the solstice and the full moon were about 12 hours apart was back in 1986."

Photograph: S. Guisard/ESO/PAContribute with Guardian Witness The annual Perseid meteor shower could be more spectacular than usual, as a new moon results in darker skies and perfect viewing opportunities. The peak of the meteor shower will be after midnight BST on Wednesday, with 4am Thursday being the best time to see the shooting stars, when spectators could see up to 80 streaking meteors per hour. However, heavy cloud cover across Britain could obscure the show across much of the country, leaving spectators with a better chance of seeing the shower on Tuesday night. Astronomer Brendan Owens, at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, plans to go out on Thursday morning before dawn, when the Earth turns into the path of the meteors. “I never miss the Perseid meteor shower. Every year I’ve taken the opportunity to go outside just before dawn. It is one of nature’s best night shows,” he said. But the Met Office forecasts cloudy skies for most of the UK on Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, which could interfere with seeing the meteors."

Credits: Jimmy Westlake Whether you're watching from a downtown area or the dark countryside, here are some tips to help you enjoy these celestial shows of shooting stars. Those streaks of light are really caused by tiny specks of comet-stuff hitting Earth's atmosphere at very high speed and disintegrating in flashes of light. First a word about the moon - it is not the meteor watcher's friend. Light reflecting off a bright moon can be just as detrimental to good meteor viewing as those bright lights of the big city. There is nothing you can do except howl at the moon, so you'll have to put up with it or wait until the next favorable shower. The best thing you can do to maximize the number of meteors you'll see is to get as far away from urban light pollution as possible and find a location with a clear, unclouded view of the night sky. If you enjoy camping, try planning a trip that coincides with dates of one of the meteor showers listed below. Once you get to your viewing location, search for the darkest patch of sky you can find, as meteors can appear anywhere overhead. The meteors will always travel in a path away from the constellation for which the shower is named."

By Earth Sky in Space | August 12, 2016Meteors begin to glow almost as soon as they hit Earth’s atmosphere, but tend to vaporize (burn up completely) at varying altitudes. Geminid meteor, Lovund, Nordland, Norway. Photo via Tommy Eliassen. Meteors in annual showers – like the ongoing Perseid shower, still visible tonight but past its peak and declining in numbers – are caused by dust particles left behind by comets. These bits of cometary debris collide with Earth’s atmosphere and vaporizing, and the falling vaporizing particle becomes the streak across the sky we see as a meteor. At what altitude do these meteors – sometimes called shooting stars – become incandescent and begin to glow? Meteors become incandescent – or glow – almost as soon as they hit Earth’s atmosphere. But the height at which they entirely burn up in the atmosphere varies. Some meteors, such as the Perseids in August, burn up in the atmosphere at about 60 miles (100 km) above Earth’s surface."

Some years are simply better than others, as in 1066 when the comet was so bright that it terrified millions of Europeans and was widely credited with the Norman victory at the Battle of Hastings. Comet Halley isn't officially scheduled to visit Earth again until 2061 when it swings through the inner solar system on its 76-year orbit, but fans of Halley can see bits and pieces of the comet tonight during the annual Orionids meteor shower. Each time Comet Halley swings by the sun, solar heating evaporates about 6 meters of ice and rock from the nucleus. Comet debris particles are usually no bigger than grains of sand, and much less dense. Although they are very small, these tiny 'meteoroids' make brilliant shooting stars when they strike Earth's atmosphere because they travel at tremendous speeds. The Orionids meteor shower happens each year when Earth passes through the debris stream of Comet Halley, and meteoroids hit the atmosphere at nearly 90,000 mph. In 1985 five spacecraft from Russia, Japan, and the European Space Agency were sent to rendezvous with Halley's comet. The ESA's Giotto probe, pictured left, captured close-up color pictures of Halley's nucleus showing jets of solar-heated debris spewing into space. In fact, just 14 seconds prior to its closest approach, Giotto was hit by a small piece of the comet which altered the spacecraft's spin and permanently damaged the camera."

"text": "Space Why Venus Spins the Wrong Way By Harald Franzen on June 15, 2001Image: NASAOur neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. ( Mercury, which is even closer to Sol, has fairly long days as well: three for every two Mercury-years). But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Now a team of scientists from the French research institute Astronomie et Systemes Dynamiques have proposed a new explanation, published in this week's issue of Nature. Current theory holds that Venus initially spun in the same direction as most other planets and, in a way, still does: it simply flipped its axis 180 degrees at some point. In other words, it spins in the same direction it always has, just upside down, so that looking at it from other planets makes the spin seem backward. Scientists have argued that the sun's gravitational pull on the planet's very dense atmosphere could have caused strong atmospheric tides."

The COPD Foundation explained that COPD, on average, costs patients $6,000 more annually than those without. Because COPD is incurable, patients must undergo treatment for the remainder of their lives, and though most cases occur in those over 45, the COPD Foundation found 70 percent were under 65 years of age. Much of the costs comes from hospitalizations, because almost half of patients are readmitted to the hospital within 60 days of their discharge."

Your body’s regenerative ability makes it possible to overcome infections and injuries. Otherwise, every common cold, minor cut or contusion would become a potentially disabling or life-threatening event. Smoking impairs this reparative ability, while also leaving smokers more susceptible to infection and injury in the first place because of damage to skin, bones, lungs, heart, blood vessels and other organs. Immediately upon quitting, the body begins to repair the damage. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Blood Pressure and Heart Rate The immediate benefits of smoking cessation include lowered blood pressure and heart rate. According to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, or PAMF, within 24 hours of quitting, you have already decreased your risk of a heart attack. The U. S.

As COPD is both a progressive and non-reversible, the severity of dyspnea plays a key role in determining both the stage of the disease and the appropriate medical treatment. Challenges in Diagnosis From a clinical standpoint, the challenge of diagnosing dyspnea is that is very subjective. While spirometry tests (which measures lung capacity) and pulse oximetry (which measures oxygen levels in the blood) may show that two people have the same level of breathing impairment, one may feel completely winded after activity while the other may be just fine. Ultimately, a person's perception of dyspnea is important as it helps ensures the person is neither undertreated nor overtreated and that the prescribed therapy, when needed, will improve the person's quality of life rather than take from it. To this end, pulmonologists will use a tool called the modified Medical Research Council (m MRC) dyspnea scale to establish how much an individual's shortness of breath causes real-world disability. How the Assessment Is Performed The process of measuring dyspnea is similar to tests used measure pain perception in persons with chronic pain. Rather than defining dyspnea in terms of lung capacity, the m MRC scale will rate the sensation of dyspnea as the person perceives it. The severity of dyspnea is rated on a scale of 0 to 4, the value of which will direct both the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Experts predict that this number will continue to rise worldwide over the next 50 years. In the United States (US) alone, COPD seriously affects the lives of more than 6% of the population who are living with the disease – as well as the lives of their families, loved ones, and caregivers. The US government carries out studies to gather data about the impact of COPD around the country, and reports these statistics: Up to 15 million US adults have a diagnosis of COPD. About 10 million US adults have chronic bronchitis. About 5 million US adults have emphysema. COPD is the third most common cause of death in the US (after cancer and heart disease). Rates of COPD are higher among adults in the Southeast and Midwest regions of the US. COPD costs the country around $30 billion dollars a year in healthcare expenses."

"text": "Topic Overview What is black lung disease? Black lung disease is a common name for any lung disease that develops from inhaling coal dust. This name comes from the fact that those with the disease have lungs that look black instead of pink. Medically, it is a type of pneumoconiosis called coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). There are two forms: simple CWP and complicated CWP, which also involves progressive massive fibrosis (PMF). The inhalation and accumulation of coal dust into the lungs increases the risk of developing chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). What causes coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP)? The inhalation and accumulation of coal dust causes coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). This stems from working in a coal mine, coal trimming (loading and stowing coal for storage), mining or milling graphite, and manufacturing carbon electrodes (used in certain types of large furnaces) and carbon black (a compound used in many items, such as tires and other rubber goods). Because CWP is a reaction to accumulated dust in the lungs, it may appear and get worse during your exposure to the dust or after your exposure has ceased."

"text": "COPD management An effective COPD management plan includes four components: (1) assess and monitor disease; (2) reduce risk factors; (3) manage stable COPD; (4) manage exacerbations. The goals of effective COPD management are to: Prevent disease progression Relieve symptoms Improve exercise tolerance Improve health status Prevent and treat complications Prevent and treat exacerbations Reduce mortality These goals should be reached with a minimum of side effects from treatment, a particular challenge in patients with COPD where comorbidities are common. The extent to which these goals can be realized varies with each individual, and some treatments will produce benefits in more than one area. In selecting a treatment plan, the benefits and risks to the individual and the costs, direct and indirect, to the community must be considered. Patients should be identified before the end stage of the illness, when disability is substantial. However, the benefits of spirometric screening, of either the general population or smokers, are still unclear. Educating patients and physicians to recognize that cough, sputum production, and especially breathlessness are not trivial symptoms is an essential aspect of the public health care of this disease. Reduction of therapy once symptom control has been achieved is not normally possible in COPD. Further deterioration of lung function usually requires the progressive introduction of more treatments, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic, to attempt to limit the impact of these changes. Acute exacerbations of signs and symptoms, a hallmark of COPD, impair patients' quality of life and decrease their health status."

Through patient teaching, nurses help patients and their families to develop healthy lifestyles, effective health behaviors, and basic education regarding when to seek medical attention. Without health education, citizens would be uninformed and unable to maintain and promote their own health. People with chronic illnesses and disabilities especially benefit from patient teaching. In order to avoid complications from chronic illnesses and disabilities, patients must be well informed about their disease and an effective plan of care must be developed by the health care team. Once the plan is developed, it is one of the nurse’s responsibilities to ensure that the patient understands the plan of care and why the plan is important to maintain their health. Ensuring that the patient understands and is motivated to follow the plan of care is one of the main goals of patient education. Aspects that must be taken into account when teaching a patient include learning readiness, the learning environment, teaching techniques, and the population that is being taught. Client Background My patient, PS, is a 39 year old female with a COPD exacerbation. In addition to COPD, her past medical history includes myotonic muscular dystrophy, hypertension, and obesity."

Several conditions fall under this umbrella diagnosis, the two most common being chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which often coexist in patients with COPD. Twelve million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with COPD and it is the second most common cause of disability and the fourth leading cause of death in the country. What Causes COPD? The most significant cause of lung damage is tobacco smoke. It is estimated that up to 90% of COPD cases can be attributed to smoking. Inflammation due to free radicals and cytokines from tobacco destroys the enzymes that protect the lung. But researchers still do not fully understand how tobacco smoke and other inhaled particles damage the lungs to cause COPD. Although there is currently no cure, COPD is both a preventable and treatable disease. The diagnosis of COPD should be considered in anyone who has shortness of breath, chronic cough or sputum production, and/or a history of exposure to risk factors for the disease, particularly regular tobacco smoking."

Steps1 Copy your files from your CD onto your computer. You can do this by putting your CD in your disc drive, opening up \"\"My Computer,\"\" selecting your disc drive and dragging everything from your CD into a folder on your desktop (or another preferred location). Repeat this with all of your CDs that you want to replace with DVDs. Make sure that you organize your files well by perhaps making a different folder for each CD.

So first remove all the electric stuff you don't need that but keep the control panel with key and horn button as your going to want them later. Once all panels electrics are removed your left with the frame as pictured to the left here. You need to cut of the rear part with the seat post holder but cut it as close as possible to leave as much frame left as you can, again keep this piece you will need it again. Now to add your own bits of frame, get 2 lengths of box section (about a metre) and weld to the ends of the prong bits but you will have to cut same amount off so frame fits back under floor plastics as did previously. Now you have you adapted frame get you engine and figure out where you want it. Ok the engines i use are pitbike engines these are great as you can have electric start semi auto manual and more powerful none electric start 140 and 160 versions, today im using a 125 electric start so we can turn key and fly + we will have battery so we can have the original light work."

This may begin by filling out a written form that asks you a number of questions relating to your pain. The more information you share with the provider, the easier your problem will be to diagnose. Your physical history is important because it helps your doctor understand: when the pain began, anything that could have caused an injury, your lifestyle, physical factors that might be causing the pain, and your family history of similar problems. After reading through your written history, your physician will ask more questions that relate to the information you have given. Some typical questions include: When did the pain begin?

"text": "\"An interview with Dr. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, MD - Emeritus 9/1/14OVERVIEWWhen we talk about scoliosis we refer to a curvature of the spine, but within the curvature so many changes occur in the spine-especially in the adult patient-that it becomes something other than plain old scoliosis. This morning I am going to speak more about a subset of patients who not only have scoliosis, but also some abnormalities consistent with degeneration of the lumbar and lumbosacral spine. If we look at scoliosis defined as a curvature of the spine in adults, it is prevalent in about 25% of the population. The actual incidence is probably not known; maybe about 500,000 patients have adult scoliosis in this country. In the adolescent age group the incidence is around 2% to 3% of the population, so if you extrapolate that figure, the incidence is probably going to be about 5% to 10% in the older population. The most common etiology is idiopathic, and it occurs more frequently in females than in males and it is a carry over of the adolescent scoliosis, which is more common in girls-at least 10 to 1 compared to boys. There are also congenital and neuromuscular conditions that can lead to scoliosis and then there is degenerative scoliosis, which is defined as scoliosis that occurs during adulthood as a result of degenerative changes of the spine affecting the facets and the intervertebral discs. These patients did not have scoliosis when they were young and they are a tough group to identify because unless you have previous x-rays or previous evaluations, you will never know whether this was an adult onset or preexisting scoliosis. Obviously there are many people with 10-degree or 15-degree curves in the lumbar or thoracic spine that never bother them and they do very well. So when they get to age 50 and they have a 10-degree lumbar scoliosis with degenerative changes and translation, is it true degenerative scoliosis or idiopathic with degenerative changes?"

"text": "Herniated Disc Impinging on the Thecal Sac A herniated disc impinging on the thecal sac is an extremely common terminology used on MRI reports and other forms of diagnostic radiology evaluations. The condition may also be noted as a bulging disc encroaching on the thecal sac or a herniated disc indenting the thecal sac. The majority of affected patients have no idea what the condition entails, nor do they even understand what the thecal sac is. Additionally, doctors frequently make little, if any, effort to adequately explain the structural findings, which is why so many patients need help deciphering their MRI reports. Worse still, are the doctors who exploit the ignorance of their patients to coerce them into long-term and highly profitable treatment, or unneeded surgery, virtually always for conditions which are clearly not even the real source of suspected herniated disc symptoms. This discussion will provide detailed information on thecal sac impingement and its possible consequences. We will also examine why this diagnosis is such as enigma to affected patients. Herniated Disc Impinging on the Thecal Sac Facts The thecal sac is simply a membrane which surrounds the spinal cord and spinal nerves. It is filled with cerebral spinal fluid and acts as a protective barrier for sensitive nerve tissue. Herniated discs which contact, encroach upon or compress the thecal sac alone, mean absolutely nothing in most cases."

The history is very important to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. When it comes to low back and leg pain, important questions include: HISTORYWhen did the pain begin? What precipitated it? Was there an injury, or did it occur spontaneously? Does it stay in the back, or does it travel down the leg; If so, where in the leg does it go? What makes the pain better? What makes it worse? Is there any weakness associated with your pain? Is there any loss of bowel or bladder control?"

Because the wavelength of blue light is shorter than that of the red lasers used in DVD, less physical space is needed to record each bit of data and so more information can be crammed onto a DVD-sized disc. This extra space was needed to store the new high-definition video and TV services that were starting to be commercialized around that time. But what started in 2000 as technical research became a battle between the world's largest electronics companies and movie studios, with the consumer caught in the middle.

As noted by CNN:“We already know how to do it -- now we need to act on what we know. Whether it's by investing resources, using proven strategies or coordinating with health care systems, we have within our communities the strengths to help people live long and healthy lives. Even identifying and focusing on just one issue that can be addressed in each community will make a difference. The greatest impact comes when we make the default choice the healthy choice -- for example, making heart-healthy actions part of the normal course of everyday life. ”The Top Three Dietary Ingredients That Promote Early Death Personally, I believe far more than one-third of these deaths are preventable, provided you factor in the most obvious root causes, which CNN fails to do in its report. For example, while smoking and lack of exercise are certainly health hazards, a far greater concern that affects far more people is diet-related factors that have become the norm. I also believe that smoking is a relatively minor factor when you compare it to the misinformation and reliance on a medical system that consistently fails to address the cause of disease but mainly relies on expensive drugs riddled with side effects—many times terminal—that in no way treat the cause. The root cause of most health problems lies in the food they chose to eat. Recognize that Americans spend about 95 percent of their food dollars on processed foods, most of which contain one or more of the three ingredients that promote the most chronic disease."

A new study says 88,000 Americans die each year of alcohol-related causes. ( Jay Janner / Austin American-Statesman)Karen Kaplan Alcohol is responsible for about 88,000 deaths in the U. S. each year, according to a new government report on the toll of excessive drinking. The study, published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, comes as police investigate an alleged drunk driver who struck and killed two people early Thursday morning at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. Another 23 people were injured after the driver went the wrong way on a one-way street in an apparent attempt to evade an officer who had pulled him over. Austin police Chief Art Acevedo said officials planned to charge the driver with two counts of capital murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault. The CDC report calculated that fatalities due to drunk drivers and more than 50 other alcohol-related causes of death are responsible for wiping out about 2.5 million years of potential life each year. Americans between 20 and 64 were victims in the majority of alcohol-related deaths, so many of them would have lived for many more years if alcohol hadn’t killed them (either directly or indirectly). The research team, from the CDC and representatives from health departments in 11 states, used information from the CDC’s Alcohol-Related Disease Impact database. The database tracks 54 causes of disease and death that are influenced by alcohol to some degree."

We studied the major causes of death and modifiable risk factors in a nationally representative cohort of 169,871 men and women 40 years of age and older in China. Methods Baseline data on the participants' demographic characteristics, medical history, lifestyle-related risk factors, blood pressure, and body weight were obtained in 1991 with the use of a standard protocol. The follow-up evaluation was conducted in 1999 and 2000, with a follow-up rate of 93.4 percent. Results We documented 20,033 deaths in 1,239,191 person-years of follow-up. The mortality from all causes was 1480.1 per 100,000 person-years among men and 1190.2 per 100,000 person-years among women. The five leading causes of death were malignant neoplasms (mortality, 374.1 per 100,000 person-years), diseases of the heart (319.1), cerebrovascular disease (310.5), accidents (54.0), and infectious diseases (50.5) among men and diseases of the heart (268.5), cerebrovascular disease (242.3), malignant neoplasms (214.1), pneumonia and influenza (45.9), and infectious diseases (35.3) among women."

Here's an example: I wasn't too sure I could believe this because 10 years ago when I compiled a list of ways that people die in the US, and the quantity of each type, I remembered that guns killed about 11,000 while hammers weren't listed. A quick search at www.fbi.gov show murder statistics by weapon. It's very enlightening. Turns out that the above statistic includes ALL rifles and ALL blunt instruments. Since assault rifles only account for a subset of \"\"rifles\"\", then the above photo makes assault rifles seem worse than they really are.

That leaves the door open for assault rifles. However, judging by the fact that handguns are used in 6,009 out of 8,775 murders, they are less expensive and really easy to conceal compared to an AR-15 that is a yard long, I would have to make an educated guess that hand guns also account for 2/3 of those 2,000 unspecified guns.

If all goes well, you and yours may outlive previous generations, with record-breaking life expectancy. Life expectancy is 77.6 years, says the CDC, using numbers from 2003. That's an all-time high, up slightly from 77.3 years in 2002. As more people add candles to their birthday cakes, the causes of death in the U. S. are starting to shift. Heart disease and cancer are still the two deadliest conditions, but their death rates are dropping. Meanwhile, deaths from diseases mainly seen in elders -- like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease -- are on the rise. Many Groups Are Living Longer White and black men and women have all reached unprecedented life expectancies. Here are their life expectancies and the change in death rates since 2002: White men: 75.4 years (death rate down 2.1%)Black men: 69.2 years (death rate down 2.5%)White women: 80.5 years (death rate down 1.2%)Black women: 76.1 years (death rate down 2.4%)Continue Reading Belowyou might like WEBMDHow to Curb Impulsive Speech Here's how to keep it from happening again.

( National Vital Statistics System/NCHS/CDC)By Bahar Gholipour December 8, 2014The average life expectancy for people born in 2012 in the United States is a record high of 78.8 years, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is a tenth of a year longer than the life expectancy for those born in 2011, the researchers said. The report also found that the girls who were born in 2012 will live, on average, 4.8 years longer than the boys born that year. The life expectancy for girls born in 2012 is 81.2 years, vs. 76.4 years for boys. Life expectancy at birth refers to the average number of years that a group of infants born in the same year are expected to live. This number is estimated based on death rates of the population that year. It includes people who die in infancy as well as those who die at a very old age. The rate of death in the United States reached a record low of 732.8 per 100,000 people in 2012, decreasing 1.1 percent from 2011.“Although changes in mortality are relatively small from one year to the next, long-term trends show the apparent progress in reducing mortality,” the researchers wrote in their report. “ Much of the recent improvement in death rates and life expectancy . . ."

"text": "\"Beverly Layman of Bakersfield, Calif., died from complications due to liver failure just two weeks before her 59th birthday. The latest national data show decreased life expectancy among white women; like many, Layman's death in March followed years of drinking and use of prescription and illicit drugs. Life expectancy at birth for white, non-Hispanic females in the United States declined slightly from 2013 to 2014, a change that could be a statistical blip but still represents a rare drop for a major demographic group, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This unusual down-tick in life expectancy -- from 81.2 to 81.1 years -- is consistent with other research showing that drug overdoses, suicides and diseases related to smoking and heavy drinking are killing unprecedented numbers of white Americans, particularly women in mid-life. “Taken by itself, it could just be a random fluctuation from one year to the next,\"\" said Elizabeth Arias, a demographer with the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. But the data, which was released Wednesday, also showed that Americans collectively have lost momentum when it comes to greater longevity. Life expectancy at birth has remained virtually stagnant for the nation since 2010. Arias said another study by her agency, to be published soon, will document the sharp increase in suicides, alcoholism-related diseases and overdoses. “Despite the positive influences of declines in heart disease and cancer and stroke, increases in other causes like suicide, chronic liver disease and unintentional poisonings were so large that they had a negative effect on life expectancy,\"\" she said.

Download Study Seattle, Washington (April 22, 2009) -- Dogs Bite.org, a national dog bite victims' group dedicated to reducing serious dog attacks, releases its first multi-year report on U. S. dog bite fatalities. The report covers a 3-year period -- from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008 -- and analyzes data gathered from 88 dog bite incidences that caused death to a U. S. citizen. The report documents dog breed information, property information (where the attack occurred) as well as dog bite victim age information. Of the 88 fatal dog attacks recorded by Dogs Bite.org, pit bull type dogs were responsible for 59% (52). This is equivalent to a pit bull killing a U. S. citizen every 21 days during this 3-year period. The data also shows that pit bulls commit the vast majority of off-property attacks that result in death. Only 18% (16) of the attacks occurred off owner property, yet pit bulls were responsible for 81% (13). Pit bulls are also more likely to kill an adult than a child."

Hispanics Date: September 17, 2012Source: American Cancer Society Summary: A new report from American Cancer Society researchers finds that despite declining death rates, cancer has surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of death among Hispanics in the United States. Share: FULL STORYA new report from the American Cancer Society finds that more Hispanics in the US die from cancer each year than from any other cause. In 2009, the latest year for which numbers are available, 29,935 Hispanic Americans died of cancer compared to 29,611 who died from heart disease. Heart disease was previously the leading cause of death among Hispanics in the US, and it remains the leading cause of death among non-Hispanic whites and African-Americans. The report, \"\"Cancer Facts & Figures for Hispanics/Latinos 2012-2014,\"\" and an accompanying journal article in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians were released September 17. Hispanics are the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the US, accounting for 16.3% of the population in 2010. The report estimates that in 2012, 112,800 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and 33,200 cancer deaths will occur among Hispanics. Even though cancer is the leading cause of death in US Hispanics, the rates of new cancer diagnoses and cancer deaths among this group have been declining in recent years, and have been declining faster than among other segments of the population. During the last 10 years of available data, 2000-2009, rates of new cancer diagnoses declined by 1.7% per year among men and 0.3% per year among women. That compares to declines of 1.0% among non-Hispanic white men and 0.2% among non-Hispanic white women."

Article Figures/Media Metrics34 References 496 Citing Articles 2 Comments Comments open through August 7, 2013It is difficult to deliver effective and high-quality care to patients without knowing their diagnoses; likewise, for health systems to be effective, it is necessary to understand the key challenges in efforts to improve population health and how these challenges are changing. Before the early 1990s, there was no comprehensive and internally consistent source of information on the global burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors. To close this gap, the World Bank and the World Health Organization launched the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study in 1991. 1 Although assessments of selected diseases, injuries, and risk factors in selected populations are published each year (e.g., the annual assessments of the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] epidemic 2 ), the only comprehensive assessments of the state of health in the world have been the various revisions of the GBD Study for 1990, 1999–2002, and 2004. 1,3-10 The advantage of the GBD approach is that consistent methods are applied to critically appraise available information on each condition, make this information comparable and systematic, estimate results from countries with incomplete data, and report on the burden of disease with the use of standardized metrics. The most recent assessment of the global burden of disease is the 2010 study (GBD 2010), which provides results for 1990, 2005, and 2010. Several hundred investigators collaborated to report summary results for the world and 21 epidemiologic regions in December 2012. 11-18 Regions based on levels of adult mortality, child mortality, and geographic contiguity were defined."

What else should I know about cancer? Let's discuss the basics and remove some of the mystery behind this frightening disease. One in two men and one in three women are expected to develop cancer (not including skin cancer) over the course of a lifetime. What Is Cancer? Cancer is a group of over 200 different diseases, which begin when a single cell in the body fails to obey the normal rules of cell growth. Instead of ceasing growth at some point, and dying off when old or damaged, these cells achieve a state of \"\"immortality\"\" and continue to grow, even it damages the cells and organ in which it began. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways, and understanding some of these differences may help you understand more about how cancer behaves. How Does Cancer Begin? It actually not easy for a cell to become a cancer cell, and as you listen to the latest hype about a new cause of cancer, you may feel some reassurance in hearing what is necessary for this change to occur."

Statistics have suggested a sharp increase in the number of American women dying as a complication of pregnancy since the late 1980s, but a closer look at the data hints that all is not as it seems By Dina Fine Maron on June 8, 2015Answers about the increases in U. S. maternal mortality are hard to pin down. Credit: Getty Images/Thinkstock There is no charity walk to raise awareness about the 700 to 800 women that die each year during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth in the U. S. There are no dedicated colored-plastic wristbands. But statistics in recent years have revealed a worrisome trend: the rate of maternal mortality in the U. S. has more than doubled in the past few decades. Whereas 7.2 women died per 100,000 births in 1987, that number swelled to 17.8 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2009 and 2011. The uptick occurred even as maternal mortality dropped in less-developed settings around the world. Now women giving birth in the U. S. are at a higher risk of dying than those giving birth in China or Saudi Arabia. The reason for this disturbing trend has eluded researchers, however. So what exactly is it about being in a family way that is getting worse in America? According to some experts at the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), perhaps nothing."

Cunha, DO, FACOEPLast reviewed on Rx List 03/15/2017Prilosec (omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for the treatment of conditions such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD ), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which are all caused by stomach acid. Prilosec is available in generic form. Side effects of Prilosec include:headache,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,stomach pain,gas,constipation,fever, orcold symptoms ( stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat ). The recommended adult oral dose of Prilosec ranges from 20 mg to 60 mg once daily, depending on the condition being treated. For maximal efficacy, Prilosec tablets should be taken before meals, swallowed whole and should not be crushed, chewed or opened. Prilosec potentially can increase the concentrations in blood of diazepam (Valium), warfarin (Coumadin), and phenytoin (Dilantin) by decreasing the elimination of these drugs by the liver. The absorption of certain drugs may be affected by stomach acidity, and, as a result, Prilosec and other PPIs that reduce stomach acid also reduce the absorption and concentration in blood of ketoconazole (Nizoral) and increase the absorption and concentration in blood of digoxin (Lanoxin). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using Prilosec; it is unknown if it will harm a fetus. Prilosec passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Breastfeeding while taking Prilosec is not recommended."

Its empirical formula is C 17 H 19 N 3 O 3 S, with a molecular weight of 345.42. The structural formula is: Omeprazole is a white to off-white crystalline powder that melts with decomposition at about 155°C. It is a weak base, freely soluble in ethanol and methanol, and slightly soluble in acetone and isopropanol and very slightly soluble in water. The stability of omeprazole is a function of p H; it is rapidly degraded in acid media, but has acceptable stability under alkaline conditions.

"text": "Why no one should take Nexium and it should never have been approved As Chris discussed Saturday the WSJ had a silly article in which a woman demands a prescription drug from a flight attendant, asking for the wrong drug to treat her problem acutely, and then shockingly was refused this service. Worse, Nexium is mentioned by name, multiple times, and Nexium is actually a drug which should never have even been approved by the FDA. It really is only prescribed because of intense marketing because, logically, it has no business on the market and is no different than an existing drug, prilosec. Why would doctors irrationally prescribe this drug then? Because advertising encourages irrational choices. So why is Nexium such a scam? Read below the fold. Prilosec is the original proton pump inhibitor, that functions by binding to, and disabling, the protein in your stomach that pumps H+ ions into gastric juices. When it originally came out it was a wonder drug, as previous drugs such as cimetidine or ranitidine would only change the p H of the stomach from 1 to 2. Whereas the PPIs can increase the p H of the stomach from 1 to 5, and remember, p H is a log scale."

At the same time I took (as directed) 2 iron pills a day. After suffering for 3 months I realized that the iron pills were continuing the gastritis and not allowing it to heal. I quit the iron pills and now need to quit the 2x Prilosec. How do I get off these meds and undo the damage from the high iron? I blame all these for weird, scary symptoms lately such as hair loss, skin peeling, purpura and assorted pains. Thank you for any suggestions. Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. This often relaxes the muscle sphincter between the stomach and the esophagus to cause reflux of stomach acid contents into the esophagus, which is painful and harmful. I presume the Amoxicillin and Flagyl were given for either stomach ulcers or suspicion of H. pylori in the stomach."

As with any medication, there can be canceling effects that cause deficiencies or prevent other drugs from working properly. A blood test may be necessary to determine the extent of any absorption or deficiency issue. It is imperative to bring a list of symptoms, medications and over-the-counter supplements to a consult with a licensed health practitioner who can make suggestions on a case-by-case basis. Self-medicating for a serious medical condition is strongly cautioned against, as this could be fatal. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Vitamin B12Prevacid use can decrease available vitamin B12 as well as block the absorption of any remaining in the intestines. Vitamin B12 is an essential part of brain, nerve and blood cell function in the body.

Credit: Georgia Tech / Rob Felt Download Image MORE PHOTOSIs a treatment only making things better or maybe also making some things a little worse? That can be a nagging question in some medical decisions, where side effects are possible. But researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have figured out a way to keep what helps, while blocking what harms, in a type of therapy to fight serious chronic inflammatory diseases. It’s simple and works a little like a pacemaker: An implanted device electrically stimulates the vagus nerve, but, in addition, inhibits unwanted nerve activity in a targeted manner. Forms of vagus nerve stimulation treatment against chronic inflammation have already been successfully tested in humans by private industry with the intent to make them available to patients. But the innovation by Georgia Tech researchers of adding an inhibiting signal could increase the clinical efficacy and therapeutic benefit of existing treatments. Temporarily snipping a nerve“We use an electrode with a kilohertz frequency that blocks unwanted nerve conduction in addition to the electrode that stimulates nerve activity,” said principal investigator Robert Butera, a professor jointly appointed in Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering . “ We’ve arranged the two near each other, so the blocking electrode forces the stimulation from the stimulating electrode to only go in one direction. ”The researchers’ innovation could theoretically by implemented relatively quickly by augmenting existing clinical devices."

It is made up of the central nervous system, containing the spinal cord the brain, and the peripheral nervous system, containing the nerves, the sensory organs as well as other elements. A nervous system disorder is a malfunction that causes abnormalities in the nerves, spinal cord, or brain. Such a disorder may cause paralysis, seizures, confusion, or distorted perception. The Different Classification of Nervous System Disorders Nervous system disorders have varied manifestations, but may be classified under the following: Infections: These may contracted from carriers like air, water or other humans, and be caused by viruses. Examples of such diseases are polio, encephalitis, meningitis, etc. Degenerations: These are caused by the deterioration of parts of the nervous system, and include diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s chorea, and sclerosis. Structural Disorders: These may be caused due to injuries to the spinal cord or brain. Such diseases include Bell’s palsy, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical spondylosis, etc. Functional Disorders: These are minor disorders that hinder you from day-to-day work."

Parathyroid glands control the calcium levels in our blood, in our bones, and throughout our body. Parathyroid glands regulate the calcium by producing a hormone called Parathyroid Hormone (PTH).

Often, it is nothing to worry about and may be as simple as a slightly squashed nerve from sitting awkwardly. But in some cases, it can indicate a more serious underlying medical problem. Numbness in the foot is often associated with other sensations, typically pain, a burning sensation and/or pins and needles (tingling or prickling sensation), collectively known as paraesthesia. It may occur in one or both feet depending on the underlying cause. Left untreated, it can progress to weakness and decreased control of foot movements. Here, we will look at the most common causes of numb feet, how they present, how and why they occur and how to tell when it is serious. Causes of Numb Toes & Feet Foot numbness develops when there is a communication problem in the nervous system. Sensory nerves receive stimulus such as pressure and temperature information and send electrochemical signals to the brain for interpretation."

Tyan Anmo is directed to restore the integrity of the body, for as being a well-coordinated and synchronized system, the body is able to recover its functions which are constantly exposed to losing the balance. The living body is built in such a way that we always have two symmetrical sides. Every living body in Earth has symmetry, as every cell has symmetry. The ultimate intellect allowed the universe and its forms to be created in this way. From the aforementioned Sutras, we learn that bliss and eternity are always present in the center of all life forms. The bliss permeates all forms of the universe; it begins and ends in the middle of every form and body. This life form is not only the beginning of the ecumenical life forms but also the beginning of our happiness, health and bliss. We often wonder: What is this life? The body?"

If you are one of these people, then this article is the right fit for you. What is acetylcholine? Actually, acetylcholine is an organic molecule. In different mammals and birds, including humans, it acts as a neurotransmitter. A combination of choline and acetic acid makes this compound. The chemical formula of this compound is CH3COO (CH2)2N+ (CH3)3. In the autonomic nervous system, acetylcholine is present. Both the functions of autonomic nervous system and peripheral nervous system are performed by this compound. Also, in the somatic nervous system, this neurotransmitter has a motor division."

It can be thought of as having an \"\"abnormal response to normal stimuli\"\". Such as pain that seems stronger or longer lasting than the trauma would seem to warrent. But pain is only one of its many and varied symptoms. Since it affects the sympathetic nervous system, there is scarcely a biological function that is NOT affected. All of the autonomic body functions (ones that happen without your conscious control ei: sweating, temperature regulation, hair growth, vascular reactions, sensitivity to touch, light, sound etc.) are fair game. Up to and including (and this is very important to sufferers and their loved ones to know, but will almost NEVER be mentioned) emotions. Think of, for example, the \"\"fight or flight\"\" mechanism: this is a non-consciously controlled biological reaction to external stimuli, (chemical reactions triggering chemical reactions triggering action). So, ultimately, (admittedly simplified) a flood gate in your brain opens up to flood your system (and muscles) with a short burst of adrenaline, prompting you to react quickly to perceived danger."

The spine is basically a stack of bones called the vertebrae that are connected by facet joints and cushioned by the intervertebral discs. These parts work together to protect the spinal cord and support and move the upper body. If you are suffering from neck or back pain from a disc-related condition, getting an overview of the underlying causes can help you and your doctor develop a treatment plan that can get you back to regular activities. Overview of disc conditions Intervertebral discs are vulnerable to a number of problems because they endure a significant amount of wear and tear. Discs can become damaged as a result of an injury or trauma to the spine. Actions like heavy lifting, repetitive use of poor body mechanics or sudden twisting movements can increase your chances of incurring intervertebral disc damage that leads to conditions such as: Bulging discs — This occurs when the disc weakens or degenerates and protrudes into the spinal canal. Herniated discs — This is when the outer layer of a disc ruptures and inner material leaks out Bone spurs — Weakened discs can increase pressure on the vertebrae, causing bone-on-bone contact. Bone spurs are a natural response to increase stability."

Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder (inherited due to a faulty gene), which usually affects people in their 40s and 50s. It primarily affects the brain, with a gradual loss of control of movement, memory and mental ability. HD is also associated with personality changes and depression as well as other mental illnesses. There's currently no cure for HD, although many strategies may be used to improve the quality of life for sufferers and their carers. Who gets HD? As HD is an inherited condition, it generally occurs in people with a family history of the disease."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Abdominal angina Synonyms Intestinal angina Classification and external resources ICD - 10 K55ICD - 9-CM 557.1 [ edit on Wikidata]Abdominal angina is abdominal pain after eating that occurs in individuals with ongoing poor blood supply to their small intestines known as chronic mesenteric ischemia. [ 1] Although the term angina alone usually denotes angina pectoris (a type of chest pain due to obstruction of the coronary artery ), angina by itself can also mean \"\"any spasmodic, choking, or suffocative pain\"\", [2] with an anatomic adjective defining its focus; so, in this case, spasmodic pain in the abdomen. Stedman's Medical Dictionary Online [3] defines abdominal angina as \"\"intermittent abdominal pain, frequently occurring at a fixed time after eating, caused by inadequacy of the mesenteric circulation resulting from arteriosclerosis or other arterial disease. Synonym: intestinal angina. \"\" Contents [ hide ]1 Pathophysiology2 Frequency3 Clinical4 Treatment5 See also6 References Pathophysiology [ edit]The pathophysiology is similar to that seen in angina pectoris and intermittent claudication. The most common cause of abdominal angina is atherosclerotic vascular disease, where the occlusive process commonly involves the ostia and the proximal few centimeters of the mesenteric vessels. It can be associated with:carcinoid [4]aortic coarctation [5]antiphospholipid syndrome [6]Frequency [ edit]Internationally: Extremely rare. True incidence is unknown Race: No data available Sex: Females outnumber males by approximately 3 to 1 [ citation needed]Age: Mean age of affected individuals is slightly older than 60 years [ citation needed]Clinical [ edit]Hallmark of condition: Disabling midepigastric or central abdominal pain within 10–15 minutes after eating. [ citation needed]Physical examination: The abdomen typically is scaphoid and soft, even during an episode of pain. Patients present with stigmata of weight loss and signs of peripheral vascular disease, particularly aortoiliac occlusive disease, may be present."

Share Email Print Feedback History Classically, angina presents as substernal chest discomfort that occurs with exertion, but it also may occur at rest. The discomfort is frequently described as a pressure or heaviness. Other commonly used adjectives for anginal pain include dull, aching, or squeezing. Pain may radiate to one or both arms, to one or both shoulders, or to the neck or jaw. Symptoms are highly variable. The entity cannot be expected to present with the classic triad of chest pressure with exertion radiating to the left arm. The diversity of disease expression is likely related to a patient's age, sex, race, and culture. The caveat is to have a high index of suspicion for the disease. Many factors influence the expression of anginal symptoms. Familiar terms such as anginal equivalent and atypical chest pain are frequently used in these cases."

Angina is another crucial type of chest pain that is caused by excessive physical exertion or stress. It is particularly considered as a warning sign when it occurs during rest. Nonetheless, pain in left side of chest could also indicate minor issues like acidity and heartburn. Heart Attack: Let us first discuss left sided chest pain as a sign of heart attack. It usually arises in the mid to left side of the chest and may extend to the left shoulder, the left arm, the jaw, the stomach, or the back. The condition is often accompanied by other symptoms like breathlessness, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, abdominal discomfort, excessive sweating etc. Cardiac pain generally involves the center of the chest or upper abdomen. Angina: Angina is another serious form of left side chest pain that is considered as a primary symptom of Coronary Artery Disease. It is typically described as a choking pain or a feeling of constriction, pressure and tightness in the chest on the left side or behind the breastbone."

The mildest of abdominal pains may herald an urgently correctable lesion. Any patient with abdominal pain of recent onset requires early and thorough evaluation and accurate diagnosis. Common causes of abdominal pain Abdominal wall pain Pain arising from the abdominal wall is usually constant and aching. Movement, prolonged standing, and pressure accentuate the discomfort and muscle spasm. This kind of pain may arise from a disease of the muscle (myositis, trauma and hematoma, muscle strain), nerve disease (diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia), or it could be referred pain from an internal abdominal organ. Abdominal wall pain often presents with a dermatomic pattern. Characteristically, it starts off as sharp initially and can become dull over time. Coughing, sneezing, or lifting heavy weights may increase the pain, while applying heat or changing positions may relieve abdominal wall pain. Visceral pain The best approach for visceral pain is according to location of pain and taking into account any associated symptoms to help guide the diagnosis."

Fogoros, MD, a board-certified physician Updated March 15, 2017Share Pin Email Printangina. Manchan/Photodisc/Getty Images Ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to one of the body’s organs, most often caused by an atherosclerotic plaque in the artery supplying that organ. An organ subjected to ischemia is referred to as being ischemic. Because an ischemic organ is not receiving all the oxygen and nutrients it needs, ischemia usually causes the affected organ to malfunction, and often, to produce symptoms. If the ischemia becomes severe enough or persists long enough, the cells of the affected organ may begin to die. The death of all or part of an ischemic organ is called an infarction. Common examples of ischemia include the following: Cardiac Ischemia Cardiac ischemia is most often caused by atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries, the arteries which supply the heart muscle. However, cardiac ischemia may also result from other conditions such as coronary artery spasm, cardiac syndrome X, or congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries. “Typical” angina is the symptom of chest (or upper body) discomfort caused by cardiac ischemia precipitated by exercise or stress. The symptoms usually abate with rest or relaxation."

"text": "The chest pain of angina comes in four flavours5Julby Carolyn Thomas ♥ @Heart Sisters There are four main types of angina pectoris women should know about, no matter how you pronounce it: ‘anj- EYE -nuh’ in Canada or Australia, or ‘ AN -gin-uh’ in the U. S. The chest pain called angina is not the same as a heart attack – but it can feel like one and can in fact lead to one. Here are the four types of angina you need to know: Stable angina: Mayo Clinic cardiologists define this as any pain/discomfort between neck and navelthat comes on with exertion and is relieved by rest. When you climb stairs, exercise or walk, your heart muscle demands more blood, but it’s harder for the muscle to get enough blood when your coronary arteries have become narrowed. Stable angina can also be triggered by emotional stress, cold temperatures, heavy meals, smoking or other activities that can narrow arteries. Unstable angina can strike without any link to physical exertion and is not relieved by rest or your usual angina medications like nitroglycerin. If a fatty plaque deposit in a coronary artery ruptures or a blood clot forms, it can quickly block or reduce flow through a narrowed artery, severely decreasing blood flow to your heart muscle. If the blood flow doesn’t improve, heart muscle deprived of oxygen dies – and that’s a heart attack, or myocardial infarction. Unstable angina is a serious medical emergency and requires urgent treatment. * Stable angina (persistent, recurring chest pain that usually occurs with exertion)* Unstable angina (sudden, new chest pain — or a change in the pattern of previously stable angina — that may signal an impending heart attack)A third, a rare type of angina called variant angina (also called Prinzmetal’s angina) is caused by a coronary artery spasm. Variant angina (also called Prinzmetal’s angina) is relatively rare (only 2% of all angina cases)."

"text": "What Are The Symptoms of Heart Diseases? When our heart supplying the body with required oxygen and nutrients fails to perform its task for various reasons, it causes some disorders in its own structure, or other organs. These are the complaints of patients as symptoms of the disease. Symptoms of heart disease presented in patients generally include: Pain Difficulty in breathing Tiredness and asthenia Heart-throb Swelling of legs and abdomen (edema and acid)Cough Syncope Indigestion, hiccup and swallowing difficulty Pain in the head and neck Cyanosis Pain It is one of the most important and common symptoms of heart diseases. Myocardium that is unable to receive sufficient volume of oxygen due to coronary artery disease (namely stenosis or blockage of vessels supplying the heart) manifests this as pain. However, not all of the chest pains are heart related. Pain of muscle, ribs, spine, and esophagus may be felt in the chest. If the pain occurs when you get tired or excited and goes of when you rest, it is highly likely to be associated with coronary arteries. Aortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, severe hypertension, aortic regurgitation, severe anemia, and hypoxia can cause ischemic pains (i.e. reduced blood flow) in the chest. Aortic dissection (rupture of major vessel), pericarditis, mitral valve prolapse cause non-ischemic pains."

Low pressure alone, without symptoms or signs, usually is not unhealthy. The symptoms of low blood pressure include lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting. These symptoms are most prominent when individuals go from the lying or sitting position to the standing position ( orthostatic hypotension ). Low blood pressure that causes an inadequate flow of blood to the body's organs can cause strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure. It's most severe form is shock. Common causes of low blood pressure include a reduced volume of blood, heart disease, and medications. The cause of low blood pressure can be determined with blood tests, radiologic studies, and cardiac testing to look for heart failure and arrhythmias. Treatment of low blood pressure is determined by the cause of the low pressure.

"text": "Unsteady Gait Last Updated On May 21, 2013 By surekha The term “Gait” means walking pattern and unsteady gait is the condition of walking abnormally. Abnormal gait results from number of causes like injury on the brain, spinal cord, injury caused to the legs and even trauma to the inner ear. Certain medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Guillain Barre Syndrome, and multiple sclerosis can cause unsteady gait. Abnormal walking pattern is the result of uncontrolled muscular deformation on the legs and specific problems in brain and central nervous system. This is largely seen in old age people who may have difficulty in walking due to age factor and underlying medical issues. Old people will not have stability and balance in walking resulting in abnormal gait problem. For instance people with rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy will have difficulty in normal walking. Most of the gait problems can be resolved if the underlying cause is identified and treated. Types : Gait is described as the style of walking or how a person walks. Many times, we may not be able to control the walking pattern due to underlying physical or medical issues."

"text": "\"Binswanger's disease Other Names: Dementia multi-infarct; Multi-infarct dementia Categories: Nervous System Diseases Summary Listen Binswanger's disease is a type of dementia caused by widespread, microscopic areas of damage to the deep layers of white matter in the brain. [ 1] Most affected people experience progressive memory loss and deterioration of intellectual abilities (dementia); urinary urgency or incontinence; and an abnormally slow, unsteady gait (style of walking). [ 2] While there is no cure, the progression of Binswanger's disease can be slowed with healthy lifestyle choices. Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. [ 1]Last updated: 10/8/2015Symptoms Listen The signs and symptoms associated with Binswanger's disease generally disrupt tasks related to \"\" executive cognitive functioning,\"\" including short-term memory, organization, mood, the regulation of attention, the ability to make decisions, and appropriate behavior. Binswanger's disease is primarily characterized by psychomotor slowness - an increase in the length of time it takes, for example, for the fingers to turn the thought of a letter into the shape of a letter on a piece of paper. Other symptoms include forgetfulness (but not as severe as the forgetfulness of Alzheimer disease ); changes in speech; an unsteady gait; clumsiness or frequent falls; changes in personality or mood (most likely in the form of apathy, irritability, and depression); and urinary symptoms that aren't caused by urological disease. [ 1] [2]Last updated: 10/8/2015Cause Listen Binswanger's disease occurs when the blood vessels that supply the deep structures of the brain become obstructed (blocked). As the arteries become more and more narrowed, the blood supplied by those arteries decreases and brain tissue dies. This can be caused by atherosclerosis, thromboembolism (blood clots) and other diseases such as CADASIL. ["

"text": "\"Tweaked by a muscle twitch? From an uncontrollable fluttering eyelid to a pulsing calf muscle, these small, rapid involuntary muscle contractions may happen at any time – and can be annoying. A common cause is overexertion, says Dr. Justin Kwan, an assistant professor of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. He experienced as much following a recent 22-mile run he completed as part of his training for an upcoming marathon – his calf and thigh muscles twitched briefly immediately afterward. “Another common cause would be stress or anxiety – some people do notice fluttering of their eyelids very asymmetrically,” Kwan says. “ Again, speaking from personal experience, right before I prepare for major examinations or even sometimes give a talk – when I get very nervous, or anxious or stressed – I do notice that.” [ See: 9 Tips to Tame Work Stress . ] Eye Twitch, You Twitch, We All Twitch Clinicians say almost everyone experiences muscle twitching, also called fasciculation, at one time or another – and it usually goes away on its own. In cases where twitching persists, addressing everyday factors that frequently contribute, including too much caffeine, dehydration and a lack of sleep, can limit the annoyance. But sometimes muscle twitching becomes a source of concern for patients who worry it’s an ominous sign of an underlying medical condition, says Dr. Charles Kim, assistant professor of rehabilitation medicine and anesthesiology and a pain management specialist at Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. “"

There are two forms of paraparesis and these are: Types of Paraparesis Hereditary spastic paraplegia This is also known as familial spastic paraparesis that is genetic in nature. There is progressive nerve degeneration. Tendency of this condition is that a parent may pass the disorder to their children.

Based on an index patient, we hypothesized that age and pre-existent WMLs rather than infarct volume and topography determine outcome. Patients and Methods— Thirty-four consecutive patients with magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging–proven isolated acute cerebellar infarction were prospectively entered on our stroke data registry. Patients with pre-existent neurological deficits, hemorrhagic, or malignant cerebellar infarction were excluded. Patients were stratified using Rankin and Barthel disability scales into groups: I complete recovery, II moderate, and III significant disability 14 days after stroke onset. Results— Initial neurological and functional scores were similar among all the groups with vertigo, nausea, unsteadiness, and limb ataxia being the most common. Infarct volume, vascular territories, and comorbidity did not predict clinical outcome. In contrast, presence and severity of supratentorial WMLs and age significantly determined outcome by functional tests."

"text": "Movement Disorders Ataxia Ataxia is a degenerative disorder affecting the brain, brainstem or spinal cord. This can result in clumsiness, inaccuracy, instability, imbalance, tremor or a lack of coordination while performing voluntary movements. Movements are not smooth and may appear disjointed or jerky. Patients may fall down frequently due to an unsteady gait. Ataxia also can affect speech and movement of the eyes. If a metabolic disorder can be identified as the underlying cause, specific treatment may be available in select cases. The cornerstone of treatment for ataxia of parkinsonism (or parkinsonism of any cause) is the use of oral L-DOPA. Other medications used to treat ataxia associated with parkinsonism (or parkinsonism of any cause) include anticholinergics, dopamine agonists, amantadine, selegiline and entacapone. In children with ataxia, generally only anticholinergics are prescribed. Dystonia Dystonia is a neurological muscle disorder characterized by involuntary muscle spasms."

"text": "Dizziness and Vertigo Dizziness is a general term that includes four syndromes: A) vertigo—the illusion of motion, B) pre-syncope—the feeling that one is about to faint, C) disequilibrium—the feeling of unsteady gait, and D) light-headedness—the feeling of a vague imbalance inside one’s head. To follow are pertinent examples from each of these four syndromes. A. Vertigo is the false sensation of motion when nothing is actually moving. One may feel that the room is spinning or that one is tumbling. Moreover, one or both ears may feel plugged, have diminished hearing, or emit a ringing sound. The four commonest causes of such illusion of motion are: 1. Vestibular Neuritis— inflammation of the balance nerve of the inner ear—is usually caused by viral infections or migraines. The episodes come on suddenly, last several days, and then slowly resolve without treatment. When such episodes prove recurrent, the usual cause is a dormant herpes virus that reactivates periodically, causing the same syndrome to recur. Treatment with anti-viral medicines may shorten the course if given early, and anti-viral medicines when taken daily may prevent or lighten the vertigo attacks."

It can affect almost any part of your body, but the trembling occurs most often in your hands — especially when you do simple tasks, such as drinking from a glass or tying shoelaces. It's usually not a dangerous condition, but essential tremor typically worsens over time and can be severe in some people. Other conditions don't cause essential tremor, although it's sometimes confused with Parkinson's disease. Essential tremor can occur at any age but is most common in people age 40 and older. Symptoms Essential tremor signs and symptoms: Begin gradually, usually on one side of the body Worsen with movement Usually occur in the hands first, affecting one hand or both hands Can include a \"\"yes-yes\"\" or \"\"no-no\"\" motion of the head May be aggravated by emotional stress, fatigue, caffeine or temperature extremes Essential tremor vs. Parkinson's disease Many people associate tremors with Parkinson's disease, but the two conditions differ in key ways: Timing of tremors. Essential tremor of the hands usually occurs when you use your hands. Tremors from Parkinson's disease are most prominent when your hands are at your sides or resting in your lap. Associated conditions. Essential tremor doesn't cause other health problems, but Parkinson's disease is associated with stooped posture, slow movement and shuffling gait."

The term encompasses a variety of sensations that can mean different things to different people. If you have ever been dizzy, you may have found it difficult to describe exactly how it made you feel. Some people who report feeling dizzy say they feel as if everything is spinning around them, or as if they are spinning or turning themselves. This is what doctors usually mean when they refer to vertigo. Others describe feeling wobbly or unsteady as if they were on a boat. And still others may describe their dizziness as a feeling of “floating”, lightheadedness or “giddiness”. Dizziness can be caused by a number of different factors, including a variety of problems within the balance control mechanism itself. How we control our balance is a complex process involving many different parts of the body.

The leg pain significantly affects the walking abilities of the individual. There can be numerous causes resulting in antalgic gait. Difficulties in ambulation or walking results in restriction of activities and patient is often considered disabled. What Is Antalgic Gait? Individual is said to have an Antalgic Gait or a painful gait when he or she experiences pain in lower leg while walking. Most often pain is localized in foot, knee or hip joint.

I'm Dr. Annie Burke-Doe, a practicing physical therapist and an associate professor at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Diego, California. In this lecture, we will be looking at the organization of the motor system, specifically, the corticospinal tract and other motor pathways. At the end of this section, you should be able to: describe the anatomy and functions of the spinal cord including nuclei and laminae; discuss spinal cord blood supply; identify the site of origin, decussation, and levels of termination for the corticospinal tract and other motor pathways; describe the autonomic nervous system, division, fibers, neurotransmitters, and regulation; differentiate upper and lower motor neurons in the nervous system; and describe common gait disorders in neurology. Slide 2: Primary Sensory and Motor Areas Here, in slide 2, the primary sensory and motor areas are shown. Remember that these areas are located on either side of the central sulcus, which divides the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. The primary motor cortex in red is in the precentral gyrus while the primary sensory cortex is in the post-central gyrus. There are several important areas of motor association cortex that lie just anterior to the primary motor cortex including the supplemental motor area in green and the premotor cortex in orange. These regions are involved in higher order motor planning and project to the primary motor cortex. Similarly, somatosensory association cortex in the parietal lobe receives inputs from the primary somatosensory cortex and is also important in higher order sensory processing."

"text": "The human cell: a basic building block The basic building block of the body is a structure called the cell. All organs such as the intestine, pancreas or liver are formed from millions of cells. Normal cells grow, divide and die in an orderly fashion. Most of the growth usually occurs in the early part of childhood. In a mature adult, cells in most part of the body divide to form new cells only to replace worn out or dying cells or to repair injury to the tissues. Our genes regulate the growth of normal cells in the body. In every cell there are genes that stimulate growth of the cell and genes that stop the growth of the cells. In normal cells there is a balance in the growth genes and genes that stop growth and therefore uncontrolled growth of the cells is prevented. Abnormal growth of the cell and cancer When the normal mechanisms for regulating growth of cells in our body are disturbed then cells begin to grow in an uncontrolled fashion. This situation arises when the genes that regulate growth of normal cells are damaged giving rise to abnormal genes with disturbed functions."

"text": "\"Movement disorders From Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 4/6/01 by Richard Robinson Definition Movement disorders are a group of diseases and syndromes affecting the ability to produce and control movement. Description Though it seems simple and effortless, normal movement in fact requires an astonishingly complex system of control. Disruption of any portion of this system can cause a person to produce movements that are too weak, too forceful, too uncoordinated, or too poorly controlled for the task at hand. Unwanted movements may occur at rest. Intentional movement may become impossible. Such conditions are called movement disorders. Abnormal movements themselves are symptoms of underlying disorders. In some cases, the abnormal movements are the only symptoms. Disorders causing abnormal movements include: Parkinson's disease Parkinsonism caused by drugs or poisons Parkinson-plus syndromes (progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, and cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration)Huntington's disease Wilson's disease Inherited ataxias (Friedreich's ataxia, Machado-Joseph disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias)Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders Essential tremor Restless leg syndrome Dystonia Stroke Cerebral palsy Encephalopathies Intoxication Poisoning by carbon monoxide, cyanide, methanol, or manganese. Causes & symptoms Causes Movement is produced and coordinated by several interacting brain centers, including the motor cortex, the cerebellum, and a group of structures in the inner portions of the brain called the basal ganglia."

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Cancer is not just one disease, but a large group of almost 100 diseases. Its two main characteristics are uncontrolled growth of the cells in the human body and the ability of these cells to migrate from the original site and spread to distant sites. If the spread is not controlled, cancer can result in death. Cancer, by definition, is a disease affecting the genes. The cell become abnormal and lose its restraints on growth. The abnormal cell begins to divide uncontrollably and eventually forms a new growth known as a \"\"tumor\"\" or neoplasm (medical term for cancer meaning \"\"new growth) Although cancer is a disease of DNA mutation, the vast majority of those mutations are acquired due to environmental influences (especially chemical-called carcinogens) rather than by heredity) There are some cancers that have a genetic basis. In other words, an individual could inherit faulty DNA from his parents, which could predispose him to getting cancer.

There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected. Cancer harms the body when altered cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function. Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign. More dangerous, or malignant, tumors form when two things occur:a cancerous cell manages to move throughout the body using the blood or lymphatic systems, destroying healthy tissue in a process called invasionthat cell manages to divide and grow, making new blood vessels to feed itself in a process called angiogenesis. When a tumor successfully spreads to other parts of the body and grows, invading and destroying other healthy tissues, it is said to have metastasized."

"text": "Quora User Answered Jul 8, 2013Overview The cell cycle is regulated by proteins that are outside the cell as well as inside. These proteins are either known as external regulators or internal regulators, based on their functions. The internal regulators are proteins in the cytoplasm and tell the cell when to divide. The external regulators are protein signals produced by the cell that induce other cells to start dividing. When cells sense that they do not need to divide anymore, they cease producing this growth factor and stop cell division. If mutations in the genes that provide these growth factors are found, they could possibly either make growth factors continuously again (cancer) or produce the wrong kind of growth factor (no growth)Tumor Suppressor Genes Tumor Suppressor Genes are the “brakes” of the cell cycle. The cell's DNA contains the information to produce the proteins that stop in order to check the condition of the cell at these “checkpoints” of the cell cycle. Mutations in the DNA may cause these cells to lose their checkpoints. For example, some genes stop the cell from moving to the next checkpoint if damage to the DNA exists. When mutated, the cells will either lose their prescribed checkpoint or proceed through the cell cycle in an uncontrolled manner."

Some general signs and symptoms associated with, but not specific to, cancer, include: Fatigue Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing moles Changes in bowel or bladder habits Persistent cough or trouble breathing Difficulty swallowing Hoarseness Persistent indigestion or discomfort after eating Persistent, unexplained muscle or joint pain Persistent, unexplained fevers or night sweats Unexplained bleeding or bruising When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you. If you don't have any signs or symptoms, but are worried about your risk of cancer, discuss your concerns with your doctor. Ask about which cancer screening tests and procedures are appropriate for you. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells."

"text": "\"Next | Previous | Index Feline Acromegalyby Chelsea Sonius Spring 2011Introduction Feline acromegaly is an endocrine disease caused by chronic, excess secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. It is a slowly progressive disease that affects many organ systems and nearly always results in diabetes mellitus that is difficult to control with standard insulin therapy regimes. Often, uncontrolled diabetes is the first sign that makes veterinarians suspect acromegaly, however, there is often many other clinical signs and syndromes that result from excessive GH secretion. For example, kidney, cardiac, and neurological disease may result, especially as the disease progresses. Historically, acromegaly has been considered a \"\"rare\"\" disease in cats, but recent statistics indicate that acromegaly is likely underdiagnosed in the feline patient. ( 1) Further, with new and improved technology, veterinary professionals have the potential to become more successful at managing and treating patients with acromegaly. This means that the diagnosis and treatment of cats with acromegaly will likely be more prevalent in the daily veterinary practice. The aim of this paper is to provide current information regarding the background, diagnosis, and treatment of feline acromegaly. Physiology of Growth Hormone and its Role in Diabetes Pathogenesis Growth hormone is produced and secreted from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that resides in the brain and is responsible for the secretion of several hormones that control a variety of homeostatic and metabolic functions in the body."

The commonest types of cancer affect the white blood cells, the skin and the breast. The vet says my cat has a tumour – is it cancer? The language surrounding cancer can be confusing and definitions are difficult. Tumours (also called growths) can be cancerous or non-cancerous, depending on what they do within the body. A tumour is the uncontrolled growth of microscopic body components (known as cells). This causes disease, often by forming a lump within the organs of the body and disrupting their normal layout so they cannot function properly. Some tumours stay in the tissue where they started; these are generally described as a “benign” and are not actually cancers. Others can spread within the body; these are described as “malignant” and are called cancers. What causes cancer?"

The former criterion classifies the types into either acute or chronic. The later criterion further divides the types as lymphoblastic or lymphocytic leukemias and myeloid or myelogenous leukemias. Blood primarily consists of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC) and platelets. The red blood cells provide oxygen to the entire body. The white blood cells protect our body and platelets helps in clotting of the blood in the face of injury. Irrespective of the types of the disease, any abnormality in these cell types leads to blood cancer. Based on these above mentioned criteria, the main categories of blood cancer are as follows: Acute Lymphocytic or Lymphoblastic Leukemias (ALL)Chronic Lymphocytic or Lymphoblastic Leukemias (CLL)Acute Myelogenous or Myeloid Leukemias (AML)Chronic Myelogenous or Myeloid Leukemias (CML)What is Acute/Chronic Criterion of Blood Cancer/Leukemia? Based on the progression of the disease and the treatment approach adopted, blood cancer is classified as either acute or chronic.

"text": "Oncogene, genetic material that carries the ability to induce cancer. An oncogene is a sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) that has been altered or mutated from its original form, the proto-oncogene. Operating as a positive growth regulator, the proto-oncogene is involved in promoting the differentiation and proliferation of normal cells. A variety of proto-oncogenes are involved in different crucial steps of cell growth, and a change in the proto-oncogene’s sequence or in the amount of protein it produces can interfere with its normal role in cellular regulation. Uncontrolled cell growth, or neoplastic transformation, can ensue, ultimately resulting in the formation of a cancerous tumour.cancer-causing retroviruses Retroviral insertion can convert a proto-oncogene, integral to the control of cell division, into an oncogene, the agent responsible for transforming a healthy cell into a cancer cell. An acutely transforming retrovirus (shown at top), which produces tumours within weeks of infection, incorporates genetic material from a host cell into its own genome upon infection, forming a viral oncogene. When the viral oncogene infects another cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase copies the single-stranded genetic material into double-stranded DNA, which is then integrated into the cellular genome. A slowly transforming retrovirus (shown at bottom), which requires months to elicit tumour growth, does not disrupt cellular function through the insertion of a viral oncogene. Rather, it carries a promoter gene that is integrated into the cellular genome of the host cell next to or within a proto-oncogene, allowing conversion of the proto-oncogene to an oncogene.

"text": "Low Neutrophils and High Lymphocytes A low neutrophil count along with a high lymphocyte count can be an indication of viral infections, autoimmune diseases and leukemias. The current article provides information regarding the absolute counts of these cell types, as well as the diseases that lead to high lymphocytes and low neutrophils. Neutrophils and lymphocytes are types of white blood cells that play an important and unique role in providing immunity against infections. Abnormal numbers of these cells influence the body's ability to fight infections. Abnormally low neutrophil count (neutropenia) as well as a high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) can be the result of viral infection or an indication of the adult-onset form of cyclic neutropenia, certain lymphoproliferative disorders like lymphomas and leukemias or certain autoimmune diseases. Neutrophils belong to the class polymorphonuclear granulocytes, and have a multilobed nucleus. These phagocytic cells provide the first line of defense against foreign bodies and pathogens, and play a major role in activating an immune response against a pathogenic agent. They occupy the highest count amongst white blood cells, and are divided into two types, segmented neutrophils (segs or polys) and banded neutrophils (bands). Segmented neutrophils circulate in a mature form, and possess a divided or segmented nucleus; while banded neutrophils are immature, and have a band-shaped nucleus. Decreased neutrophils, can be the result of immunosuppressive drugs, antipsychotics, chemotherapy, as also certain viral diseases."

"text": "\"Biology 166 Unsolved Problems in Cell Biology Albert Harris Cancer in One Easy Lesson\"\"Follow, Poet... follow right... to the bottom... of the night.\"\" W. H. Auden1) The disease cancer results from a loss of control of growth and motility, usually resulting from somatic mutations, but sometimes resulting from virus proteins that block normal mechanisms of growth control, for example at cell cycle checkpoints.2) Please notice that cancer cells do not grow or divide faster than normal cells, although many people believe that, and most forms of chemotherapy were designed on the assumption that they grow faster. Actually, what makes cells cancerous is the lack of control of cell growth, so that they keep on growing without limit, even if slowly. On the other hand, some kinds of cancer cells do grow quite rapidly, even if not faster than certain normal cell types, such as those in the bone marrow that constantly replace blood cells, and those in the intestinal lining and skin (including hair follicles) that constantly renew those structures. In one form of lymphoma, the abnormality has nothing to do with growth or division at all, but instead is a lack of apoptosis (programmed cell death), so that the cells accumulate without limit.3) Benign versus malignant : When the growth of cells is uncontrolled, but the cells do not migrate or otherwise spread abnormally, and so remain together in a mass, they are said to be benign . Despite the usual connotations of the word benign, a benign tumor is not good for you - and can even be fatal if located in certain places like the brain, where it cannot be removed and where its growth alone can fatally damage indispensable tissues. When cells not only lack growth control but also move without control, in the sense of penetrating other tissues and otherwise spreading through the body, then they are said to be malignant. Lymphomas and leukemias inherently spread in this way, but vary widely in the degree to which they colonize bone marrow, lymph nodes etc. Tumor versus cancer : The word tumor refers to a mass of (either) benign or malignant cells. If they are malignant (i.e. invasive, capable of spreading), then the mass is a cancer."

"text": "Tooth Abscess • Causes & Symptoms What is a Tooth Abscess? A tooth abscess is a dental condition that develops as the result of a tooth infection that creates a collection of pus at the area around a tooth root or in the gums. Tooth abscesses can be caused either due to untreated tooth decay or due to advanced gum disease (periodontitis). They are the most common reason many patients visit their dentists with intense toothache. How a tooth abcess is formed ? An abscess is actually a result of the immune system’s effort to contain an infection and prevent it from spreading to other areas. The body sends white blood cells to the area of the infection to fight the bacteria. During this process pus forms, which is an accumulation of fluid, living and dead white blood cells, liquified dead tissue and live and dead bacteria. If the pus is collected in a small, contained space with no way for pus to drain, it forms a pocket of infected liquid that is called an abscess. In the mouth, abscesses form around the root tips of a tooth or in the gum tissue surrounding the teeth."

"text": "A periodontal abscess is a bacterial infection that most often develops in the peridontium, a supporting structure that is between the tooth and the gums. It can also develop elsewhere but at first doesn’t affect the main structure of the tooth, though it can cause tooth pain. The most common symptom of a periodontal abscess is what is called a gum ball or gum boil, a swelling of the gum tissue that protrudes from the gum. Other symptoms besides the gum boil could occur, and they could include discomfort chewing on the side of the mouth where it is present or a sensation of pain at all times. Gum boils can rupture or they can simply enlarge. When they rupture, yellow or white liquid that is somewhat thick may flood the mouth. It’s also possible for the periodontal abscess to spread to the mouth or sinuses during rupture or prior and cause a much more complicated condition. Most people who have this condition are adults and they may already have some development of gum disease. It is definitely most common for adults with periodontal disease to get a periodontal abscess. Although rare, sometimes children get them too."

Apparently, just being in the neighborhood of the butt made Pilonidal a butt-doctor specialty even though they probably should be a dermatology specialty. Colon & Rectal Surgeons have had more training in diagnosing and treating Pilonidal abscesses than other doctors and are far less likely to misdiagnose a Pilonidal. We’ve heard stories on the forums of doctors misdiagnosing Pilonidals as Anal Fistulas, Anal Abscesses, Boils, Sebaceous Cysts, Hemorrhoids, bruised tailbones or even Sciatica.

An abscess is a cavity containing pus, surrounded by inflamed tissue that is usually the result of a bacterial infection. In humans, abscesses of the skin are often caused by Staphylococcus spp infections, but in rabbits, abscesses can be caused by a wide variety of bacteria including Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus spp, Pseudomonas spp and Staphylococcus spp. One should not assume all infections in rabbits are caused by Pasteurella acteria. This has to be proven with a positive bacterial culture. Rabbits can form abscesses in nearly any organ of the body and in skin and bone. The most common causes of rabbit abscesses are bite wounds that become infected, tooth root infections and tear duct infections."

Okay… maybe fear is too strong a word, but equine strangles is certainly an occurrence we all dread. While perhaps its reputation is deserved for the mess alone it can create, the good news is strangles is not as ominous as legend would have us believe. What causes horse strangles? Strangles is caused by exposure to the Streptococcus equi bacterium, and in fact Streptococcus is what also causes strep throat in humans. This bacterium is introduced through a horse's nasal passage where it proceeds to attach to the lymph nodes around the pharynx and submandibular regions (the back of the throat and under the jaw areas). The lymph nodes attempt to fight off the invading and reproducing bacteria, eventually causing a possible abscess to form. How is strangles transmitted? Streptococcus equi is passed on through direct exposure to the nasal discharge of afflicted horses as well as the pus that is released from abscesses. It is a highly contagious bacterium, especially among younger horses, but since direct exposure is required for it to be transmitted preventing it from spreading further is actually fairly easy."

Additionally, infections can be acute or chronic. The organisms that are involved in infection are bacterial, parasitic or viral. Additionally, prions represent an unusual class of infectious agent that can damage the brain. We will discuss each of these scenarios and consider the differential diagnosis. Meningitis Acute bacterial meningitis (purulent meningitis)Bacteria reach the subarachnoid space via the bloodstream or, less often, by extension from contiguous structures such as the sinuses or ears. The infection is usually confined to the subarachnoid space, but toxins (from bacteria or leukocytes) can result in edema and also can damage blood vessels, causing additional damage. Patients with bacterial meningitis therefore present with changes in alertness (sensorium) in addition to headache, fever, and meningismus (a stiff neck that is most resistant to flexion.) Intracranial pressure is increased because of cerebral edema and due to interference with the normal circulation and resorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by the inflammatory process. The lumbar puncture is diagnostic."

While none of us wants to have them appear in our goats, the truth is that these are distinctly different diseases that require different responses. CAE is a retro-virus (like AIDS/HIV). It is transmitted through colostrum, milk, and body fluids (including saliva, placental fluid, and semen). While devastating to the goat's health and milk production, CAE is not believed to be transmittable to humans. Concerned humans can pasteurize milk from CAE-positive goats. Blood tests for CAE detect antibody production in response to infection by the CAE virus. Only very small amounts of antibody are produced in the early stages of infection and low antibody levels may not be detected by some blood tests. Testing should not be done before the goat reaches six to eight months of age and has a better developed immune response. Most female goats will develop detectable levels of antibody at or shortly after their first freshening (kidding)."

Teeth and saliva break down food, making it easier for the stomach to process it further for absorption by the intestines. The teeth provide structural support for the face. The mouth and throat contain immune cells that help protect the body against pathogens. Taking good care of the mouth and teeth is an essential part of maintaining good health. Here is a guide to some common oral health problems and procedures. Abscessed Tooth An abscessed tooth occurs when an infection moves up tooth pulp and settles into the root near the jaw bone and forms a swollen, pus-filled area. Abscessed Tooth Symptoms Bad breath Fever Gum redness Pain Swelling An untreated tooth abscess may lead to a dangerous infection of the jaw bone and other tissues. Abscessed Tooth Treatment Treatment of a tooth abscess depends on the extent of the infection. Some abscesses may be treated with antibiotics or drainage."

Common conditions of pet turtles include Vitamin A deficiency, respiratory diseases, abscesses, shell infections and fractures, and parasites. What are the signs of these diseases? Vitamin A deficiency (hypovitaminosis A) occurs as a result of feeding turtles an inappropriate diet. Turtles that are fed iceberg lettuce, an all meat diet, or a poor quality commercial diet are most likely to develop hypovitaminosis A. Lack of Vitamin A produces changes in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and in the mucous membranes and mucus-producing glands of the mouth, eyes and upper respiratory tract. Symptoms include a lack of appetite, lethargy, swelling of the eyelids (often with a pus-like discharge), swelling of the ear (actually an ear abscess) and respiratory infections. In turtles, most respiratory infections are caused by bacteria and are often secondary to Vitamin A deficiency. Turtles with respiratory infections may have excess mucus in their oral cavities (seen as bubbles in the mouth), nasal discharges, lethargy, loss of appetite, wheezing, stretching the neck out with each breath and open-mouth breathing or gasping. If the infection is severe, or spreads into the lungs, causing pneumonia, the turtle will often be seen swimming tilted to the side as its buoyancy will be affected. \"\" In turtles, most respiratory infections are caused by bacteria and are often secondary to Vitamin A deficiency. \"\""

[ 1] Symptoms generally come on slowly and may include abdominal pain, weakness, and weight loss. [ 1]Darkening of the skin in certain areas may also occur. [ 1] Under certain circumstances, an adrenal crisis may occur with low blood pressure, vomiting, lower back pain, and loss of consciousness. [ 1] An adrenal crisis can be triggered by stress, such as from an injury, surgery, or infection. [ 1]Addison's disease arises from problems with the adrenal gland such that not enough of the steroid hormone cortisol and possibly aldosterone are produced, [1] most often due to damage by the body's own immune system in the developed world and tuberculosis in the developing world. [ 4] Other causes include certain medications, sepsis, and bleeding into both adrenal glands. [ 1] [4] Secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused by not enough adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (produced by the pituitary gland) or CRH (produced by the hypothalamus ).

In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and often insufficient levels of aldosterone as well. Also called adrenal insufficiency, Addison's disease occurs in all age groups and affects both sexes. Addison's disease can be life-threatening. Treatment for Addison's disease involves taking hormones to replace the insufficient amounts being made by your adrenal glands, in order to mimic the beneficial effects produced by your naturally made hormones. Symptoms Addison's disease symptoms usually develop slowly, often over several months, and may include: Extreme fatigue Weight loss and decreased appetite Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation)Low blood pressure, even fainting Salt craving Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting Abdominal pain Muscle or joint pains Irritability Depression Body hair loss or sexual dysfunction in women Acute adrenal failure (addisonian crisis)Sometimes, however, the signs and symptoms of Addison's disease may appear suddenly. In acute adrenal failure (addisonian crisis), the signs and symptoms may also include: Pain in your lower back, abdomen or legs Severe vomiting and diarrhea, leading to dehydration Low blood pressure Loss of consciousness High potassium (hyperkalemia) and low sodium (hyponatremia)When to see a doctor See your doctor if you have signs and symptoms that commonly occur in people with Addison's disease, such as: Darkening areas of skin (hyperpigmentation)Severe fatigue Unintentional weight loss Gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain Lightheadedness or fainting Salt cravings Muscle or joint pains Your doctor can help determine whether Addison's disease or some other medical condition may be causing these problems. Causes Addison's disease results when your adrenal glands are damaged, producing insufficient amounts of the hormone cortisol and often aldosterone as well. These glands are located just above your kidneys. As part of your endocrine system, they produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue in your body."

"text": "\"Melanin the skin darkening pigment is produced by melanocytes and melanosomes. Tyrosinase, an enzyme within melanosome cells, is released when stimulated by chemicals or UV rays, stimulates production and distribution of the melanin pigment and cause darkening of skin. People with darker skin have more melanin pigment in their skin cells as compared to people with lighter or fairer skin. Skin whitening creams or lotions always claim to give you a lighter skin tone by reducing melanin pigment but often don't give you the desired results. However production of melanin can be reduced or inhibit by eating foods rich in certain Vitamins which are given below : Best Vitamins To Reduce Melanin Production Vitamin C When we talk about melanin reducing Vitamins, Vitamin C is at the top of the list. The ascorbic acid contained in Vitamin C is a tyrosinase inhibitor; it reduces melanin production and encourages cellular renewal through exfoliation. As a powerful anti-oxidant, vitamin C can protect the skin from the sun's ultra violet rays and slow down photo aging. Natural Sources of Vitamin C Oranges, tangerines, limes, guava, lemons, papayas, strawberries, black currants, grapefruit and mangoes are excellent sources of Vitamin C. Many vegetables contain Vitamin C including collard greens, green and red peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, cabbage, potatoes, kale, spinach (palak), and watercress. Vitamin AVitamin A is also known as retinol. Though vitamin A does not penetrate and eliminate melanin, it stimulates growth of epidermal cells."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Sexual Health and Education Flag Share In Sexual Health and Education What if your vagina is darker than the rest of your body is that normal? Answer by Hunneycaramel Confidence votes 82Many people have a similar problem, with the upper portion of the inner thighs, along with the vaginal area, being darker than the rest of their skin. Sometimes the difference in color is marginal, and can be ignored. A slight difference in color is quite normal - most people have slightly darker skin in the groin area. However, in some cases there may be a huge contrast, which makes the problem rather difficult to ignore, and may also be an indication that something is wrong. In a large number of cases, the darkening of the thighs and groin area is related to obesity. What you have may be a condition that is known as acanthosis nigricans, which is the result of insulin spillover. Obesity is sometimes accompanied by an increase in insulin levels in the body. This excess of insulin can cause skin cells to behave abnormally, producing too much melanin in certain areas. Since you have mentioned that you also have stretch marks, it seems quite likely that obesity is the cause of both problems."

"text": "Print Overview Normal urine color ranges from pale yellow to deep amber — the result of a pigment called urochrome and how diluted or concentrated the urine is. Pigments and other compounds in certain foods and medications can change your urine color. Beets, berries and fava beans are among the foods most likely to affect the color. Many over-the-counter and prescription medications give urine vivid tones, such as red, yellow or greenish blue. An unusual urine color can be a sign of disease. For instance, deep red to brown urine is an identifying characteristic of porphyria, a rare, inherited disorder of red blood cells. Symptoms Normal urine color varies, depending on how much water you drink. Fluids dilute the yellow pigments in urine, so the more you drink, the clearer your urine looks. When you drink less, the color becomes more concentrated. Severe dehydration can produce urine the color of amber."

Problems With Japanese Holly Bushes Hollies (Ilex spp.) are best known for their glossy foliage and bright red berries. Many species of holly are evergreen, providing winter color to the garden in hedges or topiaries, and are often used for holiday decorations. While hollies are generally extremely hardy, thriving in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9, these shrubs are occasionally susceptible to weather damage or fungal infection, which can cause the leaves to turn brown. Weather Damage Large brown splotches on the leaves, especially around the edges, can be a sign that your holly plant has sustained weather damage, such as a sudden cold snap or a prolonged dry period. If rainfall drops below 1 inch per week, water your holly to ensure the roots are receiving enough moisture. Hollies are resilient and will usually recover quickly from weather-related shocks. Fungal Infections Smaller brown or yellow spots on the leaves may indicate that your holly plant has succumbed to tar spot or another fungal disease."

Therefore, it is impossible for an individual to become infected with elephantiasis when they are in close contact with other infected individuals. Elephantitis is actually caused by a parasite. The disease is not considered contagious but the parasites that cause it can be spread. The parasite or worms can be spread by mosquitoes but having the parasite alone will not cause the disease.

Depending how dark your knees are, you might not feel very comfortable wearing knee length skirts (without nylons that is), and you certainly won't feel the most confident wearing shorts without feeling just a little bit self conscious. The good news is, you don't have to live with dark knees forever. You can actually fade and lighten dark knees as well as dark elbows by taking a few steps daily and paying special attention to these areas. Start now and by the time summer arrives, you'll be ready to wear any knee length skirt and shorts if you feel like it!Its disheartening to have to skip over a dress because you're afraid of how your knees will look in it and you know its the perfect length but you just have to go with something that covers your legs more but is also less flattering. There are natural cures and treatments for dark spots and in order to get to the treatment, you first need to know what causes the darkening of the knees The following are some possible causes of dark spots on knees: Your Childhood This particular skin condition is actually not that uncommon especially in young people of a darker complexion such as East Indians, African Americans, Filipinos, Middle Eastern and people with darker complexions. Most young people develop dark knees from early childhood and due to a variety of reasons. The knees and elbows are constantly bending, standing and coming across friction at all times and even more so in early age. Next time you're out and near small children watch how much time they spend contantly hitting the floor with their knees (try not to be creepy about it lol), this could bring an image of what you were probably like as a child. The constant friction on the knees is what results in the darkening of the skin around the knees which is also what most people struggle with later on in life after their childhood."

However, there are many other factors too that could cause your skin to become darker in color. Unfortunately, not a lot of people realize the difference between a suntan and a skin problem. The cells of our skin contain a substance known as melanocytes, which produce melanin. It is the presence of melanin that gives the skin its color. A lack of melanin or low levels of it can cause your skin to appear pale, which is known as hypopigmentation. However, in case there is a high amount of melanin present in the skin, the skin gets a darker color, which is known as hyperpigmentation. Another factor that could cause your skin to darken faster than normal is overactive melanocytes."

Hiccups are a form of myoclonus, as are the sudden jerks, or \"\"sleep starts,\"\" you may feel just before falling asleep. These forms of myoclonus occur in healthy people and rarely present a problem. Other forms of myoclonus may occur because of a nervous system (neurological) disorder, such as epilepsy, a metabolic condition, or a reaction to a medication. Ideally, treating the underlying cause will help control your myoclonus symptoms. If the cause of myoclonus is unknown or can't be specifically treated, then treatment focuses on reducing the effects of myoclonus on your quality of life. Symptoms People with myoclonus often describe their signs and symptoms as jerks, shakes or spasms that are: Sudden Brief Involuntary Shock-like Variable in intensity and frequency Localized to one part of the body or all over the body Sometimes severe enough to interfere with eating, speaking or walking When to see a doctor If your myoclonus symptoms become frequent and persistent, talk to your doctor for further evaluation and proper diagnosis and treatment.

By Ashley | March 25, 2010Tweet Cogwheel rigidity refers to the cogwheel-like jerk responses of body muscles when force is applied while bending a limb. This cogwheel jerk does not happen in normal circumstances. It is usually a common occurrence among patient’s suffering from Parkinson’s disease. In fact, cogwheel rigidity is among the first signs of Parkinson’s disease. This is then marked with muscle rigidity, wherein the muscle reacts in ratchet-like movements when it is stretched. Therefore, when checking for Parkinson’s disease, a doctor will typically conduct a cogwheel rigidity test along with a series of other diagnostic procedures. In case of Parkinson’s disease, cogwheel rigidity happens along with a tremor that usually starts in the fingers, also referred to as a unilateral pill-roll tremor. This tremor increases during stressful or anxious situations and decreases during purposeful movements and rest. Cogwheel rigidity being a characteristic of Parkinson’s, it needs to be detected by the doctor; hence, a simple test is conducted."

It is good to be aware then of what a neurologist does and the symptoms they treat. What Is a Neurologist? A neurologist is a specialist who treats diseases in the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system), peripheral nerves (nerves connecting the brain and spine to the organs, like the lungs or liver), and muscles. Neurological diseases can include headaches; epilepsy; stroke; movement disorders, such as tremor or Parkinson’s disease; and many others. Read more below about the most common symptoms of neurological disease. Top 10 reasons you may want to see a neurologist: Headaches – Headaches are something we all experience. We can feel them stretching into our sinuses, across the top of our head, down through the muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders or along the base of the skull and brain. They can be caused by many conditions from a sinus infection to a throbbing toothache from a visit to the dentist. Symptoms of more serious headaches, including migraines, may be vomiting, a headache that becomes more severe or is continuous, a headache that comes on suddenly or pain that is worsened by strain, a headache that starts early in the morning, changes in vision, or even seizures."

"text": "\"What Is Myoclonus? Myoclonus is the medical term for sudden, rapid, brief, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. These shock-like movements may be caused by sudden muscle contractions (positive myoclonus) or sudden losses of muscle tone (negative myoclonus). Many different neurological disorders can cause myoclonus; therefore, neurologists consider it a symptom of disease rather than a specific diagnosis. Indeed, everyone experiences myoclonus on occasion. For example, \"\"sleep starts,\"\" also known as “hypnic jerks,” are the shock-like twitches that some people experience while drifting off to sleep. This is a form of myoclonus that occurs in normal, healthy individuals. Pathological myoclonus, however, may be extremely disabling. Myoclonus may affect a small region (focal or segmental myoclonus), such as one hand, or may produce violent jerks over the entire body (generalized myoclonus). Myoclonic jerks may occur alone or in sequence, either in a pattern or randomly."

The twitching or jerking of muscles cannot be controlled by the person experiencing it. Myoclonic jerks may occur infrequently or many times a minute. They sometimes occur in response to an external event or when a person attempts to make a movement. By itself, myoclonus may be seen as a symptom rather than a disease. To some degree, it may occur occasionally to otherwise healthy people. ( For instance, hiccups may be considered a type of myoclonus.) In severe cases, it can interfere with movement control and balance, and limit various everyday activities such as eating or talking. Signs & Symptoms There are different forms of myoclonus and they are classified in different ways."

I have been told that taking a megadose of prednisone (100mg daily for 3-4 months) can sometimes, but not always, push the disease into remission. My physicians have cautioned me that the side effects of this treatment (e.g., hypertension, weight gain, compromised bone density, etc.) make the prednisone treatment risky. I have also been told that the prednisone treatment would have to be repeated in intervals for the rest of my life, not an appealing prospect. Are there any alternative treatments or treatments that may be available in a few years? Dr. Ropper: The treatment of small fiber neuropathy depends entirely in the underlying cause such as amyloid, Sjögren syndrome, or tumor. A few cases are due to inflammation alone, without a clear inciting cause and these may be treated with prednisone, but that is not a typical approach. It is more a matter of a very complete evaluation than it is waiting for a future therapy."

Not suppressible. Chorea: Dance-like, unpatterned movements, often approximate a purpose (e.g. adjusting clothes, checking a watch). Often rapid and may involve proximal or distal muscle groups."

"text": "Possible Pinched Nerve Issueshopeful817 Mar 12, 2008Can a pinched nerve or vitamin B-12 deficiency cause tingling, numbness and body tremors? My problem started with tingling and numbness in both feet (eventually disappeared) - it then progressed to leg tingling during physical activity (eventually disappeared) - now I am experiencing hand and foot tremors when attempting to hold certain positions, constant internal trembling feeling when cold and occasional jerky muscle`movements. I was told by my doctor (after an EMG that showed S1/L5 radiculopathy) that I likey have a pinched nerve or bulging disc. I tend to believe her simply because NONE of these problems started until I strained my back while grooming my dog a year ago. Also, after seeing a chiropractor for several months, my leg tingling significantly decreased. My doctor has suggested an MRI to confirm her diagnosis. Diabetes and thyroid issues have been ruled out and I'm sure othe CNS disorders will checked for as well. I just wanted to know if my tremors could possibly have other causes besides Parkinson's or MS (which is quite scary and is all one sees on the internet as a cause)Answer Question Read 2 Responses Follow - 32 Responses MEDICAL PROFESSIONALAbhijeet Deshmukh, MD Mar 12, 2008Hello. Yes, a pinched nerve can cause symptoms of neuropathy. These could be tingling, numbness, burning and pain."

"text": "\"Epilepsy Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal activity of nerve cells, called neurons, in the brain. In the United States, about 2 million people have epilepsy and as many as 150,000 more develop the condition each year. About a third of them are children. Epilepsy has many possible causes, such as an imbalance of nerve-signaling chemicals, called neurotransmitters, or abnormal nerve connections that form after an injury such as head trauma or stroke. Other types of epilepsy run in families and have been tied to specific genes. Often, it may be difficult to understand why a specific person develops epilepsy, but this does not mean that effective treatment is impossible. The Epilepsy Center at UCSF Medical Center provides diagnostic and treatment services that have earned us a level four rating — the highest level available — from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. We specialize in providing comprehensive care for all types of epilepsy, including epilepsy that has not responded to treatment, called medically refractory epilepsy. The center's neurodiagnostic program uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) to provide images of the brain, as well as electrical studies such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) to record brain waves."

"text": "Sleep Myoclonus Sleep Myoclonus – Research & Treatments What Is Sleep Myoclonus? Myoclonus is a brief twitching of the muscles that occurs when you’re asleep, and can occur separately or in groups, as well as in a sequence or at random. Sleep Myoclonus may be a sign of other nervous system disorders including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Myoclonus is manifest by sudden jerks or contractions of the muscles, and also of the muscles uncontracting or relaxing after contraction. Sleep Disorders Related To Sleep Myoclonus Sleep myoclonus is a form of Myoclonus which occurs during sleep, usually in the stage just before deep sleep. Also known as a hypnic jerk or hypnagogic jerk, Sleep myoclonus will rarely disturb the subject or bed partner to the point of waking and disrupting sleep, but may indicate the presence of sleep related findings or disorders such as restless legs syndrome and Periodic Leg Movement during Sleep (PLMS). What Are The Common Symptoms & Impacts A common form of myoclonus during wake is hiccups, which are quick contractions affecting the diaphragm. Myoclonus, especially sleep myoclonus in particular, are not harmful or life threatening, though some of the more complex forms of myoclonus may indicate the presence of other potential nervous system issues. Sleep myoclonus primarily affects the fingers, toes, lips and eyes, and is often barely perceptible to anyone watching the person in their sleep. Sleep myoclonus has been shown to have some connection to stimulus- sensitive myoclonus, whereby contractions may be caused or increased by environmental factors such as light, sound or movement."

I was talking on the cellphone when it came out of nowhere and had to switch to my other ear. I can hear it when Im in a quiet place, or if I cover any of my ears. Im always listening to music when I go out but never too loud or for more than 3 hours. Its always at a reasonable level and I got a hearing test done a few months ago and I dont have hearing loss. She said Im only slighty deaf to really low frequencies in both ears but most people are like that. She said Im at the normal hearing level so i dont think this beeping is from hearing loss. Its like that beeping you get and you say someone is talking about you but it hasnt gone away. I have never had an ear infection or trauma. Im not sick either so I dont know."

"text": "\"Schizophrenia What is schizophrenia? Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that has been recognized throughout recorded history. It affects about 1 percent of Americans. People with schizophrenia may hear voices other people don't hear or they may believe that others are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. These experiences are terrifying and can cause fearfulness, withdrawal, or extreme agitation. People with schizophrenia may not make sense when they talk, may sit for hours without moving or talking much, or may seem perfectly fine until they talk about what they are really thinking. Because many people with schizophrenia have difficulty holding a job or caring for themselves, the burden on their families and society is significant as well. Available treatments can relieve many of the disorder's symptoms, but most people who have schizophrenia must cope with some residual symptoms as long as they live. Nevertheless, this is a time of hope for people with schizophrenia and their families. Many people with the disorder now lead rewarding and meaningful lives in their communities."

It is a maximal aerobic fitness test.equipment required: Flat non-slip surface, marking cones, up to 20m measuring tape, PACER test cd, cd player, recording sheets.procedure: There are two variations of this test, with the lines placed either 15 or 20 meters apart. The 15 m test distance is used for the 2nd and 3rd grade or when there are space limitations. The test involves continuous running between the two lines in time to recorded beeps. The time between recorded beeps decrease each minute (level) requiring an increase in pace. The subjects continue until they are unable to keep pace with the beeps. There are a total of 21 levels, which would take approximately 21 minutes to complete.scoring: The score is the level and number of shuttles reached before the athlete was unable to keep up with the recording for two consecutive ends. The test scores can be entered into the Fitness Gram software for analysis. If the 15m version is used, there is a conversion chart to convert scores on the 15m PACER to a 20m score to enter in the Fitness Gram software.target population: The test is suitable for sports teams and school groups of all ages, but not for people in which a maximal exercise test could be considered dangerous.reliability: Reliability would depend on how strictly the test is run, and the practice allowed for the subjects. Several practice trials would be ideal.advantages: Large groups can perform this test all at once for minimal costs."

However, they also make noise and flash lights under other conditions. The noise that they make has been described as beeping, chirping, and even squeaking. Most detectors will make two sounds: a “beep” and a much shorter “chirp”. The beeping noise is used to alert you to unsafe CO levels. It is usually in the form of 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 more beeps.

"text": "\"TOOLS / MULTIMETERSContinuityby lady ada What is Continuity? You might be asking, \"\"What is continuity?\"\" But don't worry, it's quite simple! Continuity means, are two things electrically connected. So if two electronic parts are connected with a wire, they are continuous. If they are connected with cotton string, they are not: while they are connected, the cotton string is not conductive. You can always use a resistance-tester (ohmmeter) to figure out if something is connected because the resistance of wires is very small, less than 100 ohms, usually. However, continuity testers usually have a piezo buzzer which beeps. This makes them very useful when you want to poke at a circuit and need to focus on where the probes are instead of staring at the meter display. For some basic circuits you can just look to see where the wires go to determine continuity but it's always wise to use a multimeter."

"text": "Trucking Blog The DOT Physical for Truck Drivers The DOT Physical for Truck Driversby Trucker Mike I just had my DOT physical today as a prerequisite for starting truck driving school and thought I'd write a quick post to let you know what it's like. Most CDL training schools and all trucking companies (by federal law) will require you to pass a DOT physical before you start any truck driving job, and then again every two years. For those of you who want to know what's involved with the DOT physical, here's the scoop. Overall, the physical is kind of a joke. I first had to fill out some paperwork and release forms so the medical facility could share the information with my training school. After that, I had a drug test done by way of urinalysis. I'm telling you guys, they don't mess around with drugs or alcohol in this industry. Not only was I drugtested for the physical, but after obtaining my CDL I'll be required to take random drug and alcohol tests. No matter what your views on drug use, drug testing,or drugprohibition are, even marijuana, realize that it's not tolerated at all. If you smoke some marijuana during your home time, that can still make you test positive for the substance even 30 days after you smoked it and long after you're impaired from it."

"text": "Home >> Family Medicine >> Kids Health: Temperature Temperature: How to Measure Getting an accurate measurement of your child's temperature takes practice. If you have questions about these instructions, ask your healthcare provider to show you how it's done. Then ask your provider to watch you do it. Where is the best place to put the thermometer? A rectal (in the bottom) temperature is the most accurate. Temperatures measured by mouth, by electronic pacifier, or by ear are also accurate if done properly. Temperatures measured in the armpit are the least accurate, but they are better than no measurement. The best place to use the thermometer depends on the age of your child. For a baby less than 3 months old (90 days old): An armpit temperature is best because it is safest and works fine for a quick check. If the armpit temperature is over 99°F (or 37.2°C), double check it with a rectal temperature."

"text": "Last Thursday night while lying in bed, I heard a faint beeping sound. We had been out earlier in the evening with friends. While I usually try to eat healthy, I had indulged in too much fried food and I had two glasses of wine, so I was feeling heavy and sluggish. Without worry and in that dreamy, almost asleep state I tried to figure out where the sound was coming from. As it was one of the rare warm nights in the Bay Area and our window was open, I figured it must be a truck backing up somewhere in the distance and the sound just traveled. Now that I had the noise categorized, I drifted off to dreamland. But the next morning, while having a cup of coffee heard the sound again. The first thing I did was check my laptop... then I checked Phillip's laptop, then I checked the coffee maker. Then, as I was walking down the hall to check the alarm clocks, I remember the sound from last night and at that same moment realized the sound was coming from me. What a strange feeling."

The police fitness test is designed to check whether you have the physical ability you will need to work on the police force. There are two separate portions of the police fitness test, the endurance test and the police bleep test which is also known as the shuttle run. Here is an overview of what the bleep test is and what is involved in it. The Bleep Test During the bleep test, you will be asked to repeatedly run between two markers placed fifteen metres apart. You will be directed to synchronise your speed with a beep noise that sounds at specific set intervals. The goal is to reach each marker at the sound of the beep. If you get to the marker before you hear the sound, you are running too quickly and you’ll have to wait until you hear the sound before turning back to run to the other marker. And, if you hear the sound before you reach the marker, you are going too slowly and must increase your speed to catch up with the next audible beep. Every candidate taking the bleep test begins at level 1 where the beeps are 7 seconds apart."

Here's What to Do Share Pin Email Print John Mulligan / Getty Imagesby Tim Fisher Updated August 18, 2017Is your computer making a beeping sound when it starts... and then doesn't really start? No, you're not crazy, your computer really is beeping, and the sound may be coming from inside your computer, not your speakers. These beeps are called beep codes and are used by the BIOS (the software that runs your computer hardware) during the POST (an initial test to make sure your computer is OK to start) to report certain initial system errors. If you're hearing beep codes after you turn your computer on, it typically means that the motherboard has encountered some kind of problem before it was able to send any kind of error information to the monitor. The beeping, then, is a way to communicate a problem to you when the computer can't show a proper error on the screen. Follow the steps below to determine what computer problem the beep code is representing. Once you know what's wrong, you can work to fix the issue. How to Troubleshoot Beep Codes Figuring out why your computer is making beeping sounds should only take 10 to 15 minutes. Solving that problem that you identify is another task entirely and could take a few minutes to hours, depending on what the problem ends up being."

"text": "\"Online Health Chat with Dr. Manikum Moodley September 29, 2011Introduction Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Syncope -- also called fainting, blacking out, or passing out -- is a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by a fall from a standing or sitting position. It is a condition that is caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain. Blood contains oxygen, so when blood flow to the brain decreases, oxygen to the brain also decreases. Certain heart or brain conditions and a sudden change in position may cause syncope. Signs and symptoms include light-headedness, dizziness, cold sweaty skin, and feeling more tired than usual. There are different types of non-cardiovascular syncope, which include neurological syncope usually caused by seizure disorders, such as epilepsy, and other problems of the nervous system, including stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or other rare causes including migraines and normal pressure hydrocephalus; orthostatic hypotension, an inability to maintain normal blood pressure while standing, is often due to disorders of the autonomous nervous system (ANS), which regulates most \"\"automatic\"\" bodily functions. It may occur in otherwise healthy people as a result of standing for long periods, exercise, overheating, or other forms of stress. Syncope affects people of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly. More than 100,000 adults and children visit a doctor each year with complaints of fainting spells. Dr. Moodley is a staff member of the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute’s Center for Pediatric Neurology."

Have you been experiencing fainting spells or perhaps dizziness that makes you feel like you are going to faint? This may be a vasovagal attack, also known as vasovagal syncope. It may occur at times of great emotional stress or in response to the sight of blood. Vasovagal attacks can happen to some people with little notice, but there are ways to prevent spells from occurring. We will examine vasovagal causes and what steps to take to prevent fainting episodes. What Does Vasovagal Attack Mean? A vasovagal attack happens when your heart rate lowers, which leads the blood vessels to expand and your blood pressure to fall. The blood will gather in the blood vessels in your leg, restricting oxygen from reaching your brain. As a result, you may faint or lose consciousness temporarily. This involuntary reaction of the nervous system involves the vagus nerve, which is responsible for slowing heart rate."

"text": "Print Overview Low blood pressure might seem desirable, and for some people, it causes no problems. However, for many people, abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness and fainting. In severe cases, low blood pressure can be life-threatening. A blood pressure reading lower than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for the top number (systolic) or 60 mm Hg for the bottom number (diastolic) is generally considered low blood pressure. The causes of low blood pressure can range from dehydration to serious medical or surgical disorders. It's important to find out what's causing your low blood pressure so that it can be treated. Symptoms For some people, low blood pressure signals an underlying problem, especially when it drops suddenly or is accompanied by signs and symptoms such as: Dizziness or lightheadedness Fainting (syncope)Blurred vision Nausea Fatigue Lack of concentration Shock Extreme hypotension can result in this life-threatening condition. Signs and symptoms include: Confusion, especially in older people Cold, clammy, pale skin Rapid, shallow breathing Weak and rapid pulse When to see a doctor If you have indications of shock, seek emergency medical help. If you have consistently low blood pressure readings but feel fine, your doctor is likely just to monitor you during routine exams. Even occasional dizziness or lightheadedness may be a relatively minor problem — the result of mild dehydration from too much time in the sun or a hot tub, for example."

"text": "Rare Genetic Diseases of the Heartby TRICIA MANGAN Aug. 14, 2017Genetic diseases of the heart are those that are caused by a mutation in one or more genes that affect the structure or function of the heart muscle. Many of these diseases are rare, inherited only when one or both parents pass down the affected gene. Some of these conditions are especially common in certain communities or cultures where the populations are relatively isolated. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a genetic disease in which normal heart tissue is progressively replaced with fat and scar tissue. According to St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center, tissue damage occurs predominantly in the right chamber of the heart. People who inherit this genetic disease may develop arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a known cause of sudden death from cardiac arrest in people younger than 30. The condition is especially prevalent in communities in northeast Italy. Brugada Syndrome Brugada syndrome is a life-threatening, frequently inherited disorder characterized by an abnormal heart rhythm, called a Brugada sign, according to the Mayo Clinic. This arrhythmia prevents the chambers of the heart from pumping effectively, preventing blood from traveling normally throughout the body."

Syncope may be caused by a variety of mechanisms, but isn't caused by head injury, which is considered a concussion .. Some causes of syncope can be a warning of a life-threatening situation. Most times, syncope is a relatively benign situation. While most episodes of syncope can be easily explained, some patients never receive a diagnosis or know the specific cause. Introduction to fainting (syncope)Readers Comments 100 Share Your Story Fainting, \"\"blacking out,\"\" or syncope is the temporary loss of consciousness followed by the return to full wakefulness. This loss of consciousness may be accompanied by loss of muscle tone that can result in falling or slumping over. To better understand why fainting can occur; it is helpful to explain why somebody is awake. The brain has multiple parts, including two hemispheres, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The brain requires blood flow to provide oxygen and glucose ( sugar) to its cells to sustain life. For the body to be awake, an area known as the reticular activating system located in the brain stem needs to be turned on, and at least one brain hemisphere needs to be functioning."

Dizziness that creates the false sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving is called vertigo. Dizziness is one of the more common reasons adults visit their doctors. Frequent dizzy spells or constant dizziness can significantly affect your life. But dizziness rarely signals a life-threatening condition. Treatment of dizziness depends on the cause and your symptoms. It's usually effective, but the problem may recur. Symptoms People experiencing dizziness may describe it as any of a number of sensations, such as: A false sense of motion or spinning (vertigo)Lightheadedness or feeling faint Unsteadiness or a loss of balance A feeling of floating, wooziness or heavy-headedness These feelings may be triggered or worsened by walking, standing up or moving your head.

These rapid heartbeats might trigger a sudden fainting spell or seizure. In some cases, the heart can beat erratically for so long that it causes sudden death. You can have a genetic mutation that puts you at risk of being born with congenital long QT syndrome. In addition, certain medications, imbalances of the body's salts and minerals (electrolyte abnormalities), and medical conditions might cause acquired long QT syndrome. Long QT syndrome is treatable. You might need to take medications to prevent an erratic heart rhythm. In some cases, treatment for long QT syndrome involves surgery or an implantable device. You'll also need to avoid certain medications that could trigger your long QT syndrome. After treatment, you likely can live and thrive, even with this condition."

"text": "\"Cardiac Arrhythmias Health Guide Disease Reference Medication List Encyclopedia Q & AMore What Is It? A cardiac arrhythmia is any abnormal heart rate or rhythm. In normal adults, the heart beats regularly at a rate of 60 to 100 times per minute. And the pulse (felt at the wrist, neck or elsewhere) matches the contractions of the heart's two powerful lower chambers, called the ventricles. The heart's two upper chambers, called the atria, also contract to help fill the ventricles. But this milder contraction occurs just before the ventricles contract, and it is not felt in the pulse. Under normal circumstances, the signal for a heartbeat comes from the heart's sinus node. It's the natural pacemaker located in the upper portion of the right atrium. From the sinus node, the heartbeat signal travels to the atrioventricular node or \"\"A-V node,\"\" which is located between the atria. Next the signal travels through the bundle of His (pronounced HISS)."

The doctor just mentioned to me that she might have \"\" postural orthstatic tachycardia syndrome\"\" otherwise known as POTS disease. Is anyone familiar with this term and what it means. My daughter is 16 and no tests were performed by the doctor.... Her feet are just purple (mostly the toes) they are purple alot of the time. Please let me know if anyone has heard of this and if further tests should be done. My father and grandfather both had legs amputated late in life due to poor cirulation and blood clots. Thank you Heather_2 over a year ago It was very irresponsible from this doctor just to mention something like postural orthstatic tachycardia syndrome and not give you any explanation and not sign your daughter for further testing. People who suffer from POTS disease usually have problems with fast heart beat when standing and experience symptoms like lightheadedness, fatigue, headaches, exercise intolerance, mental clouding and low blood volume. When treating this condition, the goal is to correct the problem of abnormally decreased levels of body’s blood and controlling this problem may help get rid of other symptoms. To diagnose POTS, your daughter will probably have to see a number of different doctors like cardiologist, a neurologist, or an endocrinologist and have electrocardiogram to rule out any heart problems or any other underlying diseases that could have been causing such symptoms."

They may or may not also be accompanied by bad breath or bleeding, but the swelling alone is often enough to make you feel uncomfortable throughout the day or when you’re trying to enjoy a meal. You may be so used to having swollen gums that it doesn’t actually occur to you that you’re suffering from the condition. Chronic gingivitis is a condition that many people simply find themselves tolerating, along with the symptoms such as swollen gum tissue. Swelling anywhere in the body is not normal, and is actually a red flag to alert you that something is going on and needs to be addressed. Catching swollen gums early on and reversing it as soon as possible is the best way to prevent advancement of other serious diseases like periodontitis, a condition that causes tooth loss. Beginning of gingivitus caused from plaque and tartar What Causes Swollen Gums Plaque and Tartar – Most swelling of the gums is due to one cause: bacterial plaque. That white, filmy debris that congregates along the gumlines and on the surface of your teeth causes not only cavities, but gum infections as well. That’s because the plaque builds up along the margin of the gumlines and also begins to creep in underneath the gum pocket, infecting the gums from the inside out. Once plaque gets into an area and isn’t cleaned out thoroughly, it causes an immune response in the body which then leads to inflammation of the tissue."

CAUSESBlood that flows into our hands usually travels by two arteries: the radial artery and the ulnar artery (Figure 1). Cold hands are caused when blood flow is decreased to the hand. This can happen with a number of things, including: Vasoconstriction There are muscles around all the major arteries of our body that automatically constrict or relax in order to decrease or increase blood flow. This allows the body to send more blood and warmth to the critical organs of your body (like the heart, lungs and brain), temporarily decreasing the blood flow to your hands and feet.

While it may cause the patient (and perhaps you) some embarrassment as well as discomfort, it provides important information and should not be skipped. Explain to the patient what you are going to do (and why) and then proceed. If they have not already done so, ask the patient to remove their underwear. I believe that this examination is easier to perform and yields more information if it is done with the patient standing while you are seated in front of them. In this position, it is easier to examine the testes, evaluate for inguinal hernias and perform the rectal exam. However, if the patient is unable to stand/unsteady on their feet, it can be performed while they lie on the exam table."

"text": "\"10 Things Your Skin Says About Your Health10 clues your skin gives about your well-being By Paula Spencer Scott, Senior Health Writer | Last updated: Feb 06, 2018All Rights Reserved If skin were merely a sausage casing for the rest of you, it wouldn't be nearly so useful. An organ itself (your body's largest in terms of both weight and surface area), skin protects against invasive bacteria, regulates body temperature, and picks up information from the stimulation of touch, pressure, pain, heat, and cold. Little wonder, then, that when there's something wrong with you on the inside, your skin sometimes sends up the first warning flare. \"\" Diabetes, for example, is generally a silent disease, but it can lead to distinct changes to the skin. So the skin may in fact be the first indicator of what's happening,\"\" notes dermatologist Amy Newburger, MD, of Scarsdale, New York, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology. Here's the skinny on ten dermatologic oddities worth watching for in yourself or someone you love. Red flag: Yellowish skin, orange palms and soles What it means: The cartoonish skin hues of carotenemia can be the unfunny result of an underactive thyroid gland -- hypothyroidism -- which causes increased levels of beta-carotene in the blood. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant, found in fruits and vegetables, that normally gets processed by the thyroid. When there's a thyroid problem, the gland doesn't metabolize the vitamins as quickly, so beta-carotene accumulates. You can also get Technicolor skin due to beta-carotene buildup thanks to a diet heavy on carrots, carrot juice, sweet potatoes, and squash."

"text": "Blue Waffles Disease – Symptoms, Causes, Pictures, Treatment, Prevention Last Updated On April 3, 2018 By surekha Blue waffles disease is an infection in vagina which is transmitted through sex. The name waffle is used to denote vagina and hence this disease is indicative of vaginal infection. Some of the common symptoms of this disease are vaginal swelling with patches of welts in and around vagina and on the opening of labia. There will be intense itching and burning sensation, marked by bad odor and red patch like dots. Due to severe inflammation the vagina may change into blue color in some women. The main reason for getting this disease is due to the use of unsanitary objects during masturbation. Sometimes women behave in inflicting self pain on the vagina by using sharp, pointed objects. It may also occur on women who are sexually active all through the day. Bacteria grow on the area due to unhygienic condition of vagina and it multiplies and affects the surrounding area like labia. Autoimmune disorder like lowered level of immunity level can also cause vaginal infection."

Some of you may wonder if this condition is real and not just a fallacy. Medically speaking, there is no such term existing in the medical field. However, since it is recently exposed there is a possibility that this disease exists. So, what does science have to say about this matter? What is Blue Waffle Disease? The term waffles is a slang referring to a woman’s vagina. Similar to vaginitis, blue waffles is a vaginal infection, which leads to an inflammation and a blue discoloration of the vagina. The most common culprits of this disease are bacteria and fungi (yeast). It is also categorized as a sexually transmitted disease (STD)."

The people turned more and more to criminal activity, organized criminals such as the American mobsters and European crime syndicates thrived, most common people looked upon these organizations as heroes. Criminals like Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde and John Dillinger were headliners of the era. Jobs were scarce and people needed to provide for their families, gangsterism was dangerous but provided an easy way to make money. When the American government passed the Eighteenth amendments outlawing alcohol, people who enjoyed a drink became criminal for doing so. It was organized crime who supplied the booze. In January of 1920 the American government banned the sale and supply of alcohol, the government thought that this would curb crime and violence, prohibition did not achieve it’s goals, leading more toward higher crime rates and excessive violence. Alcohol was seen as the devils advocate and banning the substance would help improve the quality of American lives. It caused an explosive growth in crime with more than double the amount of illegal bars and saloons operating than before prohibition."

"text": "The Last Days of Al Capone THE LAST DAYS OF AL CAPONEOn this date, January 6, 1939, former Chicago mob boss Al Capone left the Alcatraz federal prison in San Francisco Bay. By the time of his discharge, he was a broken man. Gone were the glory days when he literally ran the city of Chicago and gone were the days of the vibrant, brutal man who ordered the deaths of rivals and ran the Outfit with an iron hand. The attempts on his life in prison, the days of enforced silence, the trips of punishment to the “hole, the grinding daily routine and likely what was, by now, an advanced case of syphilis began to take their toll on Capone. Eventually, he stopped going into the recreation yard and practiced his banjo, which he played in the prison band, instead. Once practice was over, he returned immediately to his cell, avoiding all of the inmates except for a few of his closest friends. Occasionally, guards reported that he would refuse to leave his cell to go to the mess hall and eat. They would often find him crouched down in the corner like an animal. On other occasions, he would mumble to himself or babble in baby talk or simply sit on his bed and strum little tunes on the banjo. Years later, another inmate recalled that Capone would sometimes stay in his cell and make his bunk over and over again."

"text": "\"SA Eliot Ness, a Legacy ATF Agent SA Eliot Ness is one of the most famous federal agents in the history of law enforcement. As a supervisor of an ordinary team of agents he did the extraordinary. Against all odds, he and his Untouchables broke the back of organized crime in Chicago, a city that was dubbed the \"\"Crime Capital of the World.\"\" Ness performed brilliantly as both a crime fighter and a leader in a time of national distress. When Ness and his Untouchables emerged as the enforcers who had put away Al Capone after he had maintained a decade-long empire in Chicago, they became so ingrained in the American psyche that cartoonist, Chester Gould, launched a new comic strip based on the crime stories publicized in the daily headlines. Using Eliot Ness as his model, Dick Tracy was born. For decades thereafter, Eliot Ness and his fictional alter ego would influence American notions of detective work, crime-fighting and heroism. The real Ness' success was no accident. During his 10 years of Federal law enforcement service with ATF's legacy agencies [1] he faced organized criminal elements flush with huge sums of cash. All the while, he demonstrated that he possessed intelligence, ability and above all else, honesty and integrity which he undisputedly maintained throughout his Federal law enforcement career."

"text": "\"Organized Crime BEgins In 1910 there were around 500,000 Italians in the state of the New York alone due to the crackdown of the brutal dictator Benito Mussolini. Most of these immigrants were respectful citizens who came to America with the intention of making money in a legal manner. However, in 1920 the 18th amendment was passed that banned the production, sale, transportation, exportation, importation and consumption of alcohol. This law, mixed with the stock market crash that put many people in poverty, gave a rare chance to start a business that would be revolutionary during its time: organized crime. Before 1920, the Mafia stuck with gambling, prostitution, and theft in order to gain profits, which is why Prohibition gave such a big boost to them. In response to the amendment, organized, sometimes violent, bootlegging manifested into a profitable black market for the outlawed alcohol. Despite its intention in reducing crime, Prohibition created more gangs than ever, and turned cities into battlegrounds between opposing gangs. When these gangs first broke out, in New York there was a massive and bloody struggle for power between two different Sicilian-American Mafias. This war between the two factions was known as the Castellammarese War. The war was between Salvatore Maranzano, one the most dominant and entrenched mob leaders in New York, and a new mob leader who was gaining power incredibly fast, Lucky Luciano."

After leaving school in sixth grade, he spent his time as a gang member in two gangs: the Brooklyn Rippers and the Forty Thieves Juniors. After working as a bouncer, he ended up working for a man named Johnny Torrio. When Torrio invited Capone to join him in Chicago in 1920, Capone accepted. Together, the two started working for Big Jim Colosimo’s gang, taking advantage of Prohibition by distributing illegal liquor. Colosimo was assassinated, leaving the high-ranking Torrio in charge. However, this arrangement did not last long. In 1925, Torrio was the victim of another assassination attempt. Weakened by this, Torrio asked Capone to become the new boss. Capone, charismatic as he was, was liked among the men, who called him “The Big Fellow."

"text": "The 10 Most Famous Feuds in History23By Shell Harris on April 19, 2010 Crime, History, Politics A feud, or vendetta, is an extended argument between two groups of people, usually started as the result of an insult, violence, or even murder. Today the term is more popularly associated with celebrities and sports rivalries, but historical blood feuds were fairly commonplace, and there were even rules and laws—like dueling—that were set up in order to help resolve them. Some feuds managed to escalate beyond individual groups and families, and in a few extreme cases, like the War of the Roses, they even led to large-scale conflicts in which thousands were killed. Here are ten of the most famous examples:10. Blues vs. Greens in the Byzantine Empire You might think that sports rivalries are often taken a little too far, but modern soccer hooligans and hockey goons have got nothing on the fans of Byzantine-era chariot racing, who caused so much carnage that they were nearly able to overthrow the Emperor Justinian. At the time, chariot racing was the most popular form of entertainment in Constantinople, and supporters of the two most popular teams —known as the “Greens” and the “Blues” because of the color of their uniforms—resembled gangs more than they did sports fans. Chariot racing was so popular that the rival groups even managed to affect politics, and they were often known to shout out demands to the Emperor after a big win. When they weren’t functioning as de facto political parties, members of the Blues and the Greens engaged in a long-running feud that frequently resulted in fighting and even murders. How it Ended: The feud between the Blues and the Greens reached a fever pitch in 532 AD, when the infamous Nika Riots broke out after the government attempted to punish members of the groups for a series of killings perpetrated after an important chariot race. In a bizarre twist, the two groups briefly put aside their differences and turned on the Emperor, burning down much of the city and nearly taking over the rest."

Related 'Boardwalk Empire' Ratings: Series Ends With 2.3M Watching HBO Finale Unlike HBO ’s Sopranos finale when 12.3 million fans thought their TV sets went out, there probably weren’t any fists banging on TV sets at the end of Boardwalk Empire ’s series finale, “Eldorado,” tonight. In an ending that left no dangling strings, “Eldorado,” written by Boardwalk creator Terence Winter and scribe Howard Korder and directed by exec producer Tim Van Patten, closed the book on the life of Atlantic City kingpin-bootlegger Enoch “Nucky” Thompson (Steve Buscemi): Shot three times on the boardwalk by Tommy Darmody (Travis Tope), the teenage son of Jimmy Darmody, Nucky’s former protégé. In the season 2 finale, “To The Lost,” Nucky shot Jimmy after being double crossed, a moment which jarred fans. In a scene prior to Jimmy’s death, his mother, whore madame Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Moll) tells toddler Tommy, “You’re going to be a big man in this city one day.” She wasn’t kidding: Tommy lived to avenge his father’s life. Winter jumped from 1924 in season 4 to 1931 in season 5, given how it was a pivotal year at the dawn of the Depression: Al Capone (Stephen Graham) goes to jail, and Charlie Luciano (Vincent Piazza) forms the mob commission. What better time than ever to watch Nucky’s demise. “This ending was so much more personal and more satisfying, Nucky is the cause of his own undoing, it’s an act of betrayal come full circle,” exclaims Winter."

"text": "\"Why did Prohibition fail? Extracts from this document... Introduction Why did Prohibition fail? National Prohibition of alcohol (nineteen twenty - nineteen thirty-three)--the \"\"noble experiment\"\" or the Eighteenth Amendment, Is one of the biggest mistakes of the Untied States. It was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America. The results of that experiment clearly indicate that it was a miserable failure on all counts. Prohibition, also known as the Eighteenth Amendment, was ratified on January twenty nine, nineteen twenty and was repealed on December fifth, nineteen thirty-three with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment which nullified Prohibition. The Eighteenth Amendment stated that it was illegal to manufacture, transport, and sell alcoholic beverages in the United States. It was a good attempt to solve problems, but America went about it the wrong way. She instead, created even more problems such as organized crime, increased alcohol consumption, over crowded prison systems, and the surge in the growth of the Mafia. Not only was this a step in the wrong direction, it was an action that increased the problems that America was already facing."

"text": "Wet and Dry: (Unintended) Consequences of Prohibition From 1920 to 1933, prohibition federally banned alcoholic beverages in the United States through a constitutional mandate. This development, spurred on by the “dry” rural Southern Protestant crusaders, really cramped the style of many people for that decade. It did, however, give us moonshine and speakeasies, so we can thank these fools for that.lol This buffoonery was successful in its aim to cut down alcohol consumption in the 1920s. Experts estimate consumption dropped 15–40% from peak 1910s levels and there were certainly some good effects. Deaths related to cirrhosis were down, and, early on, crime rates dropped as well. On the other hand, the law created all sorts of crazy inefficiencies in the market and some jarring unintended consequences. For example, on January 17, 1920, when the Volstead Act barring the sale of “intoxicating liquors” (anything over 1% alcohol) came into effect, there was a one night grace period where the law was being grandfathered in. People went out for one last blaze of glory, and bars were all for it, realizing their inventories were about to become worthless. People were gouging desperate consumers, charging the 2017 equivalent of $300+ for a cheap bottle of champagne (think Andre), or $25+ for a sip of bad liquor (think ‘Crat #Necklace). The enforcement of prohibition was pretty laughable — the Republican presidents of the 1920s believed in small government and low federal spending."

Al Capone was a New York born Italian gangster who moved to Chicago in the 1920s where he led a highly visible life of crime. This was the era of Prohibition and Capone made a fortune bootlegging and smuggling in illegal alcohol to those who wanted to drink during the dry years. That wasn’t all that he was up to either; the gangster was involved in running prostitution and gambling rings, bribing elected officials and engaging in various gang-related crimes including assault and murder.

DNA tests show King was prone to obesity and disease The singer, who died at the age of 42, is known to have had an irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure and bad eyesight Ian Johnston @montaukian Tuesday 25 March 2014 23:30 GMTClick to follow The Independent Online Elvis Presley at one of his final concerts in 1977 Rex Features Elvis Presley may have died because of genetic conditions that made him prone to obesity and heart disease - rather than his lifestyle, according to a new documentary. The Channel 4 programme Dead Famous DNA analysed samples of hair said to have belonged to the singing legend and found genes linked to several medical conditions. Apart from obesity and heart disease, they also found genes associated with migraines and glaucoma. Presley, who died at the age of 42, is known to have had an irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure and bad eyesight. He is also known to have had headaches and suffered from fatigue and fainting and in later life his weight soared. His fondness for junk food was blamed by many for his early death. Dr Stephen Kingsmore, director of the Centre for Paediatric Genomic Medicine at the Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, analysed the hair sample for the programme and said the findings indicated this might not be the full story. “There had been so much speculation about cause of death, and so much ill spoken of his lifestyle, and we had this intriguing finding that possibly Elvis had a medical illness, and all of the stuff about how he killed himself with his lifestyle might have been very unfair,” he said. The star was found dead in 1977, slumped in a bathroom at Graceland, his mansion in Memphis, Tennessee."

One of the few constants in Elvis' life during his early years was the First Assembly of God Church, where he and his parents sang in the choir, as well as Lawhon Elementary School on Lake Street, which he began attending in the fall of 1941. Already a loner, used to playing on his own more than with his few friends, Elvis soon learned to read, and he would while away hours on end with his small collection of comic books. He also became reacquainted with his father's absence. Benefiting from increased work opportunities created by America's entry into World War II, the Presleys relocated to the Mississippi Gulf Coast where Vernon and his cousin Sales found employment in the Moss Point Shipyard near Pascagoula in 1940. The relocation was short-lived. Missing their family and friends, Vernon and Gladys returned to East Tupelo about a month later. Vernon spent most of 1942 living apart from his family in Mississippi, Alabama, and finally in Memphis, Tennessee, where he worked in a munitions plant while returning to East Tupelo to be with Elvis and Gladys on weekends. Vernon saved enough money by the war's end to make a $200 down payment on a four-room, $2,000 house on Berry Street. Amazingly, the person selling him the property was none other than Orville Bean, whose altered check had previously landed Vernon in jail."

One 14-year-old girl told the press: “My parents locked up my Elvis records, and my father broke my record player. ”12 Another teen is captured in a set of iconic Alfred Wertheimer photos in 1956 — the white-gloved girl got out of a cab with her father in midtown Manhattan, saw Presley there, talked to him and broke down crying when he left.13 Sometimes, Presley would sign autographs on fans’ breasts — “Elvis” on the left, “Presley” on the right.14 In 1965, Presley talked about entering a monastery.15 Presley started wearing a chai necklace because his mother, Gladys’ maternal grandmother was Jewish — the reason he added a Star of David on his mother’s gravestone.16 When asked why he wore the necklace, he said, “I don’t want to miss out on going to heaven on a technicality."

"text": "Jane Sanderson , Dennis L. Breo , and Judy Kessler January 28, 1980 12:00 PM‘Elvis was probably an addict,’ his doctor admits—but did those prescriptions kill him? Shortly after 2 p.m. August 16, 1977 Ginger Alden, awaking from a long day’s sleep, walked into the bathroom adjoining the palatial master bedroom of Graceland and discovered that Elvis Presley was dead at 42. It was a seismic event and a national tragedy. To cope with it, to capitalize on it, in some cases as if to deny it, his former retinue and his most fanatic fans have pored over his effects hungrily for relics and talismans, turning his death into a macabre sideshow. Kidnappers have tried to steal his body from its grave. Fortunes have been made in retrospective schlock and dime-store Presleyana. Dozens of relatives and “friends” have published increasingly lurid accounts of his life. One old retainer, security chief Dick Grob, recently tried to sell a book outline retailing the theory that Elvis was dying of cancer; now, reportedly, Grob says he made it up. Someone, presumably a vengeful fan, fired a shot at Elvis’ physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos, at a football game last year. One ghoul has tried to sell the vial in which Elvis’ last drug prescription was packaged."

"text": "\"President Nixon's meeting with Elvis Presley on Dec. 21, 1970, at the White House is the inspiration for the film \"\"Elvis & Nixon.\"\" ( National Archives / Getty Images)Mark Olsen Contact Reporter It is one of the most unlikely images in existence. Two men of extreme power and influence, yet from completely different realms, one a politician and the other an entertainer. It is the kitschy incongruity of their appearance and body language, one stiff in a businessman's suit and the other relaxed in a velvet cape, that makes Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley shaking hands in the Oval Office on Dec. 21, 1970 an object of ongoing fascination. It is said to be the most requested photo in the National Archives. Nixon would not begin taping Oval Office conversations until a few months later, so what was said between them is left to speculation and the recollections of the few people who were there. The new film \"\"Elvis & Nixon\"\" imagines their meeting as it presents just how Elvis ( Michael Shannon) got into the Oval Office with Nixon (Kevin Spacey) on that day. The supporting cast includes Alex Pettyfer as Presley's friend Jerry Schilling, along with Colin Hanks, Johnny Knoxville, Tracy Letts, Tate Donovan and Sky Ferreira. Directed by Liza Johnson from a screenplay credited to Joey Sagal, Hanala Sagal and \"\"The Princess Bride\"\" star Cary Elwes, the film stakes out a specific tone that is fun without making fun of the towering historical figures at its center.

Turns out Las Vegas audiences were not too impressed with the \"\"atomic powered singer. \"\" Elvis Presley, New Singing Find, Booked Into New Frontier Las Vegas Sun Staff Report April 21, 1956Elvis Presley, unanimously acclaimed by critics as the most important singing find since Johnnie Ray, will open in the New Frontier Hotels' Venus Room Monday, April 23, as a special added attraction to the Freddy Martin show. The handsome 21-year-old rock 'n' roller's appearance in the latest Sammy Lewis production is considered to be the Las Vegas entertainment scoop of the year. Presley's sensational rise to fame is largely based on his recent recording of \"\"Heartbreak Hotel\"\" which sold 100,000 copies the first week it was out and at present is nearing the 1,000,000 mark. Two years ago the young giant (he stands 6 feet 2 inches tall) was driving a truck in Memphis for $45 a week. Yet in West Coast appearances last week his unusual singing style attracted turnaway audiences of 5,000 and special police squads were needed to handle the admiring crowds who came to see America's newest idol. Adding to Presley's fame and fortune is a motion picture contract which he signed with Paramount Studios in Hollywood just this week. The young vocalist will be featured in one of the most lavish productions ever presented in the Venus Room, Lewis stated."

But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, as well as the steady sales of his catalog and reissues since his death in 1977, may make him the single highest-selling performer in history. More important from a music lover's perspective, however, are his remarkable artistic achievements. Presley was not the very first white man to sing rhythm & blues; Bill Haley predated him in that regard, and there may have been others as well. Elvis was certainly the first, however, to assertively fuse country and blues music into the style known as rockabilly. While rockabilly arrangements were the foundations of his first (and possibly best) recordings, Presley could not have become a mainstream superstar without a much more varied palette that also incorporated pop, gospel, and even some bits of bluegrass and operatic schmaltz here and there. His '50s recordings established the basic language of rock & roll; his explosive and sexual stage presence set standards for the music's visual image; his vocals were incredibly powerful and versatile."

Fernando If ever a single musician deserved credit for taking the essence of Rock ‘n’ Roll music out of the shadows of African American culture and the early tunes of Chuck Berry and Ray Charles, and almost singlehandedly propelling it into the limelight of the American public, that musician is Elvis Presley. And with his boyish allure, southern charm and enigmatic presence, Elvis Presley is a subject that one could spend half a lifetime digesting. Today is the time for you to acquaint yourself with ten things you probably did not know about the man affectionately referred to as The King. He was born an identical twin Elvis Aaron Presley entered the world a few hours before dawn on the 8th January, 1935. He was born to the young couple Vernon and Gladys Presley, in a tiny, two-bedroom ‘shotgun house’ that Vernon had built in preparation of his new family. But, Elvis did not enter this world alone. A mere 35 minutes before he was delivered, Gladys had, with great difficulty, delivered Elvis’s twin brother who was tragically stillborn. The Presleys named the baby Jesse Garon Presley before laying him to rest in an unmarked grave, and chose Elvis’s middle name, Aaron, in remembrance of his stillborn twin brother. Elvis’s close friends and family have said that throughout his life, Elvis was tormented by a great sense of grief and guilt for his lost twin. His mother, Gladys, has even said in interviews that she felt that his semi-lucid sense of loss was the crucible that forged his destiny to achieve great things, because he “possessed the power of two people, and was living for two souls.”"

DNA from Elvis' hair suggests he suffered from a genetic heart muscle disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He appeared to suffer symptoms of the condition in his final years, including an irregular heartbeat, fatigue, fainting and high blood pressure. The new findings suggest that regardless of his diet, the iconic singer was always destined to die young. Dead Famous DNA gives a new insight into Elvis' death extracting DNA to analyse his genome – the genetic blueprint of life.1970: In late February, Presley performed six attendance-record–breaking shows at the Houston Astrodome (Image: Getty)The results were obtained after buying Elvis' hair from a friend of his barbers for $2000. Presenter Mark Evans said: \"\"Some of the results are remarkable - not least those of the DNA we believe came from Elvis. “Elvis and his doctor have both been blamed over the years for his premature death. It was thought his overeating or overdosing on drugs had killed him. \"\" Whilst those addictions would have helped, this new evidence suggests Elvis may have had a flaw in his DNA and his early death was his genetic destiny. \"\" During three months of DNA testing, problems were found on chromosome 11 - a variant known to cause hypertophic cardiomyopathy - a heart muscle disease that usually occurs in men between 20 and 40."

He was found on the floor and rushed to hospital where he was officially declared to be dead at 15:30 by his personal physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos. So ended the life of ‘the King’. Or did it? SUSPICIOUS MINDSLater that night there was a press conference in which medical examiner Dr. Jerry Francisco indicated that the cause of death was ‘cardiac arrhythmia,’ noting that, ‘There was severe cardiovascular disease present.’ Despite the finality of such a statement many Presley fans still refuse to this day to believe that Elvis really did die. Many believe that he lived on for many more years in hiding and that he may still be alive even now. Of course those who believe Elvis is still alive have offered up reasons as to why they think he may have faked his own death. There were reportedly problems with both his health and his finances and, also, it has been claimed that Presley’s life was in danger because he was allegedly going to give testimony in a federal case that could have implicated a Mafia group."

September 05, 2009 | Thomas H. Maugh IIPresident Kennedy's Addison's disease, which came to light only after his election in 1960, was most likely caused by a rare autoimmune disease, according to a Navy doctor who reviewed Kennedy's medical records. The disease, autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2, or APS 2, also caused Kennedy's hypothyroidism, according to a report published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Hard though it is to believe these days -- when a celebrity's smallest sneeze is analyzed -- Kennedy's family and advisors were able to keep his medical history virtually secret. Kennedy, at 43 the youngest president ever elected, was portrayed as healthy and vibrant. In reality, he suffered various problems controlled by a daily regimen of steroids and other drugs. Addison's disease is characterized by the withering of the adrenal glands, which produce adrenaline and other hormones. Symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, muscle weakness, weight loss, difficulty standing up, nausea, sweating, and changes in mood and personality. Tuberculosis accounts for about 20% of cases; the rest are autoimmune in origin. During the 1960 campaign, Kennedy's opponents said he had Addison's."

Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister sparked a feud between the Kennedy family and the heartbroken mother of the Bessettes before the bodies were even found, it was claimed today. Just two days after the plane flown by President John F. Kennedy's son went down in the Atlantic Ocean off Martha's Vineyard in 1999, the Kennedys met with Bessette's mother Ann Freeman and 'bullied her' over the final resting places of the three victims, according to revelations. The accounts of the meeting were taken from JFK Jr.'s cousin - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - and published in the New York Post. They come from RFK Jr.'s diary, which was given to the Post after they were found at his ex-wife Mary Kennedy's house following her suicide in 2012. Tragic: John F. Kennedy Jr. - the son of President Kennedy - is seen here with wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

' Ann wants them close by and is terrified that the K family might try to spirit them to Brookline,' RFK Jr. writes. Several Kennedys are buried at Holyhood Cemetary in Brookline, Massachusetts - including patriarch and matriarch Joseph and Rose Kennedy - the parents of President Kennedy, Robert F.

"text": "THE BLOG 11/18/2013 07:29 pm ET Updated Jan 23, 2014Jackie Kennedy’s Five Pregnancies — the Tragic and the Successful By Steven Levingston Jackie Kennedy had difficult pregnancies — five in all. Here are their stories — the tragic and the successful, from the ebook The Kennedy Baby: The Loss That Transformed JFK by the Washington Post’s Steven Levingston. Jackie became pregnant for the first time in 1955 but after three months “suffered a miscarriage and learned that carrying and delivering a child would always be difficult for her,” recalled JFK’s friend and adviser Ken O’Donnell. On the morning of August 23, 1956, a month before another baby was due, Jackie awoke and cried out for her mother - she was hemorrhaging. She gave birth to a stillborn infant, while JFK was on a yacht with friends of both sexes cruising the Mediterranean. Racing back to his wife did not seem to occur to the Massachusetts senator until wiser friends suggested that public shame over his absence threatened to tarnish him forever in the eyes of women voters. His friend George Smathers put it bluntly to him: “You better haul your ass back to your wife if you ever want to run for president. ”In November of the following year, 1957, Jackie gave birth to a healthy little girl, Caroline, who bewitched her father and opened channels to his heart that had never flowed. Caroline started JFK on a path toward maturity as a man, father and husband. There would be backsliding, of course; but it is not a stretch to say that a novel sense of responsibility to wife and child was profoundly stirred within him."

Kennedy Jr. kept secret diaries that were found by his wife, Mary, who committed suicide last year in the midst of a contentious divorce. The Post, which was provided copies of the journals by a source, previously reported how the volumes detailed RFK’s “lust demons” while chronicling his sexual conquests with 37 women. Now, newly revealed entries show the family’s reaction to JFK Jr.’s death in 1999. The tragic death of John F. Kennedy Jr. was marked by deep sorrow — and intense family bickering over the funerals before the bodies were even recovered, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s secret diary. The journal’s entries in the aftermath of the July 16, 1999, plane crash that killed Kennedy, 38, wife Carolyn Bessette, 33, and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette, 34, provide a rare eyewitness account of the intensely private scene at the Kennedy compound and the petty, tense squabbling over whether Carolyn deserved the royal Kennedy treatment. Kennedy reports on a heated meeting in New York City, three days after the crash, during which other Kennedy family members tell Ann Freeman, Carolyn Bessette’s grieving mother, that JFK Jr. would be buried in the family plot in Brookline, Mass., and “that they could do with Carolyn as they pleased. ”Modal Trigger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The heart-wrenching drama of JFK Jr.’s death was one of many private family moments Kennedy chronicled in thick, red journals reviewed by The Post. In mid-July 1999, the family was coming together at their Hyannis Port, Mass., retreat for the wedding of RFK Jr.’s sister Rory Kennedy, the youngest child of assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. RFK Jr.’s wife had visited JFK Jr. and Bessette a week earlier and Bessette told her that her husband was “so depressed” because he was fighting with his sister, Caroline, over furniture at the Martha’s Vineyard home that once belonged to their mother and had been left to them when Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died in 1994."

"text": "Guyism, Humor, Weird News, Zebra7 historical figures you won’t believe had STDsby Neil Bulson 4 years ago Facebook Twitter Flip Board We like to think of STDs as a modern scourge, but for centuries, man has battled with the fire down below. It’s believed that STDs were actually brought back to Europe by Columbus and his crew after their fateful voyage to the New World, and that by the 18th century, somewhere around 15% of the world’s population was estimated to have syphilis. So it should come as no surprise that some pretty famous historical figures should have been wrapping it up before they hit the sheets. Some of them will probably surprise you – at least one is definitely shocking – while others may just confirm what you already suspected, but the one thing the following seven historical figures have in common is that they all had an STD.7. Henry VIIIHenry VIII is perhaps history’s most famous degenerate, so if any historical figure is going to wind up needing copious amounts of penicillin, you’d figure it would be him. And you’d be right, as ol’ Hank wound up boning his way to a bout with syphilis, and since it was the early 16th century there wasn’t a whole lot they could do for him aside from prayer, leeches and maybe burning some witches at the stake. Sadly, Henry probably passed on his syphilis to all his kids – his son and heir, King Edward VI, almost certainly died young from inherited syphilis – but hey, at least none of them were caught by paparazzi with their asses hanging out. I guess it was just a more dignified age.6. Al Capone Perhaps the baddest dude in American history, Al Capone wasn’t taken down in a hail of bullets like some wild-west cowboy. No, he was done in by two things: taxes and a wanderin’ dick."

Indeed, a lot of people have to have been part of it — not to speak of the people who must have been intimidated, bribed, or otherwise forced to cooperate by giving false testimony, covering up key evidence, or keeping quiet about some sinister thing they knew. So why have no credible witnesses come forward with the evidence necessary to blow open the coverup? For the hard-core conspiracy believers, it's because a \"\"clean-up squad\"\" is going around the country killing off people who might \"\"blow the whistle! \"\" This theme was first taken up by Penn Jones, Jr., publisher of the Midlothian Mirror, a small-town Texas paper. The most widely cited current list of \"\"mystery deaths\"\" was published by author Jim Marrs (who also released the book Alien Agenda about UFOs). His book Crossfire contains a list of 103 people who have supposedly died \"\"strange\"\" or \"\"convenient\"\" or \"\"mysterious\"\" deaths. As Marrs puts it: This section has been entitled \"\"Convenient Deaths\"\" because these deaths certainly would have been convenient for anyone not wishing the truth of the JFK assassination to become public. Unfortunately for Marrs and other conspiracy authors, the logical problems with this whole argument are many and massive."

From US president’s to Hollywood royalty, the list of major public figures to have been struck down by the infectious disease is a long one. Errol Flynn The silver screen swashbuckler suffered recurrent Malaria from the age of 20, following an ill-fated stint as a tobacco plantation owner in New Guinea. Ross Kemp Like Cheryl, the former East Enders star contracted the disease while on holiday in Tanzania. The actor lost two-and-a-half stones in a week and was in hospital for seven days. Genghis Khan The Mongol emperor is thought to have suffered from a type of malaria in the spring of 1227 while nursing battle injuries. After several months of sickness, the Great Khan died at the age of around sixty years old. Michael Essien The Chelsea midfielder is a major backer of the Malaria No More UK campaign, which aims to stamp out the disease which kills one African child every 30 seconds. Essien was twice stuck down by the infection before the age of seven while growing up in Ghana."

"text": "\"Richard Pruett Answered Feb 3, 2018 · Author has 65 answers and 36.4k answer views Originally Answered: Who killed JFK? It had to be someone other than Oswald. You're right, it was someone other than Oswald. Reliable eyewitnesses placed him in the Texas School Book Depository lunch room immediately before and immediately after the assassination. The Dallas Police Department's paraffin test of his face and hands proved he hadn't fired a rifle that day. The impersonation of Oswald in Mexico City, the government's denial of his due process, and the murder of Oswald while in police custody are obvious signs he was simply a patsy, just as he had protested. And the brave testimony in recent years of his former co-worker and mistress Judyth Vary Baker reveal who Lee Oswald really was — i.e., a loyal Marine who volunteered for a CIA-managed phony defector program, participated in a USG assassination plot against Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, spied on pro-Castro Cubans for the FBI, and tried to prevent the assassination of Pres. Kennedy. Kennedy was murdered as the result of a conspiracy. It's hard for me to see how anyone who has researched the case with an open mind can arrive at any other conclusion."

We need not have had concerns as all the staff from check-in to departure were a joy to deal with.

Since her husband - a Soviet defector - was named the man responsible for assassinating JFK, Russian-born Marina has lived a quiet life behind closed doors, hiding away from suspicious eyes. Marina Oswald Porter, widow of Lee Harvey Oswald who assassinated JFK, told a press conference in 1977: 'I believe that Lee acted alone in this murder and shot the President , ironically a man whom he respected and admired'.

A: Quick Answer The first transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10, 1869. It linked the Central Pacific Railroad, which stretched east from Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific Railroad that went west from Omaha, Nebraska. To mark the occasion, a final golden railroad spike was driven into the tracks at the location where two railroads met in Promontory, Utah. Continue Reading Keep Learning When Was the Transcontinental Railroad Made? How Long Did It Take to Build the Transcontinental Railroad? Who Invented the Transcontinental Railroad? Full Answer Two men were chosen for the honor of driving in the golden spike, one representing each railroad company. California Governor Leland Stanford represented the Central Pacific Railroad, and the president of the Union Pacific Railroad, Thomas C. Durant, represented his side. When the time came to drive the golden stake into the ground to officially christen the railroad, Governor Stanford missed hitting the spike with the sledgehammer on his first attempt, before connecting on his second try."

Open Document In the movie, “The United States of Leland,” Leland Fitzgerald commits a murder and becomes the center of attention as people try to understand why he did it. The only person Leland trusts is Pearl, the juvenile hall teacher and aspiring writer who helps Leland to examine the truth of his crime. Unknown to Leland, Pearl had his own agenda, and uses Leland to obtain material for a book. Pearl does this until he begins to see that Leland is giving him something he never expected. Leland is not given the concrete answer Pearl seeks, but the realization that now is the time to change his own life for the better. Leland is a soft spoke fifteen-year-old boy that appeared to be headed in the right direction despite his unusual background and past life. He moved around from place to place, with no foundation or person to attach himself to. His background and past actions, being as they were, did not show signs that would prove him a criminal. The movie’s organization was very confusing and messy towards the beginning, but was done on purpose. This disorganization parallels the disorganization of Leland’s thinking and feelings."

He adopted the first name Eadweard as the original Anglo-Saxon form of Edward, and the surname Muybridge believing it to be similarly archaic. [ 1]At age 20, he emigrated to America as a bookseller, first to New York, and then to San Francisco. Planning a return trip to Europe in 1860, he suffered serious head injuries in a stagecoach crash in Texas. [ 2] He spent the next few years recuperating in England, where he took up professional photography, learning the wet-plate collodion process, and secured at least two British patents for his inventions. [ 2] He went back to San Francisco in 1867, and in 1868 his large photographs of Yosemite Valley made him world-famous. In 1874 Muybridge shot and killed Major Harry Larkyns, his wife's lover, but was acquitted in a jury trial on the grounds of justifiable homicide. [ 3] He travelled for more than a year in Central America on a photographic expedition in 1875. Today, Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography. [ 4] In the 1880s, he entered a very productive period at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, producing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, capturing what the human eye could not distinguish as separate movements."

"text": "The Campus Plan In 1876, Leland Stanford purchased 650 acres of what had been Rancho San Francisquito for a country home and began the development of his Palo Alto Stock Farm for trotting horses. In 1885, a year and a half after the death of their only child, Jane and Leland Stanford executed a deed of trust conveying the farm, along with several other parcels of land, to the trustees for the founding of the Leland Stanford Junior University. He later bought the adjoining properties totaling more than 8,000 acres. The size and varied topography of the 8,180 acres of foothills and plains that Stanford has today in the center of the San Francisco Peninsula provide a rare opportunity for comprehensive land use and resource management. About 60 percent of Stanford’s land today remains open. The Stanfords traveled widely before founding Stanford and wanted the Main Quadrangle and the Palm Drive main entrance to reflect European Beaux Arts formalism. They engaged Frederick Law Olmsted, the foremost landscape architect of the time. The Stanfords’ collaboration with Olmsted and the architectural firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge resulted in California Mission-inspired buildings of local sandstone with red-tiled roofs, surrounding a cloistered quadrangle with Memorial Church as its focus. The rectangular plan of the Main Quadrangle was designed to provide for expansion through a series of quadrangles developed laterally. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Great Depression and World War II intervened."

( Image credit: Stanford University Archives)When railroad magnate and former California Gov. Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, lost their only child, Leland, Jr., to typhoid in 1884, they decided to build a university as the most fitting memorial, and deeded to it a large fortune that included the 8,180-acre Palo Alto stock farm that became the campus. They made their plans just as the modern research university was taking form. Leland Stanford Junior University – still its legal name – opened Oct. 1, 1891. The Stanfords and founding President David Starr Jordan aimed for their new university to be nonsectarian, co-educational and affordable, to produce cultured and useful graduates, and to teach both the traditional liberal arts and the technology and engineering that were already changing America. Their vision took shape on the oak-dotted fields of the San Francisco Peninsula as a matrix of arcades and quadrangles designed for expansion and the dissolving of barriers between people, disciplines and ideas. The Boston firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge collaborated with Frederick Law Olmsted to develop the university’s final architectural plan, with its distinctive arches, quadrangles and arcades. ( Image credit: Stanford University Archives)From the start, stewardship of the founders’ extraordinary land gift has helped support university endeavors, and has made room for a multiplicity of institutes, schools and laboratories that cross-fertilize each other with innovations that have changed the world. Computer time-sharing, the first isolation of highly purified stem cells and the first synthesis of biologically active DNA, among many other breakthroughs, all originated at Stanford."

Mary made 47 people ill and killed three while Tony Labella, another healthy carrier, caused 122 people to become ill and five deaths. Labella was only isolated for two weeks and then released while Mary was confined in total for over 25 years. Perhaps they confined her for so long because she broke the health officials’ rules after being told of her contagious status. However she too was not the only one to disobey orders. Alphonse Cotils, a restaurant and bakery owner, was told not to prepare food for other people and when health officials found him back at work, they agreed to let him go free when he promised to conduct his business over the phone.

But the true story behind \"\"Typhoid Mary\"\" is more terrifying — and depressing — than you ever realized. The Traveling Typhoid Epidemic Typhoid was one of the twentieth century's most terrifying killers, in part because an infection could spread through a house well before anyone knew what they were dealing with. The first week of an infection seems almost innocuous. The victim has a fever and some abdominal cramping, but unless she develops a bloody nose, which happens in only one quarter of the cases, there's nothing to distinguish typhoid from most other ailments. During the second week, the fever shoots up, and the patient becomes delirious. Blood clots form under the skin and the entire abdomen becomes distended. The third week brings inflammation of the brain and intestinal hemorrhaging. The death rate of those infected is estimated at anywhere between one in ten and three in ten. In the 1900s, doctors finally believed they could get a handle on outbreaks of typhoid."

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Image Numer: 2115)Most major epidemics of typhoid fever have been caused by the pollution of public water supplies. Food and milk may be contaminated, however, by a human carrier of the disease who is employed in handling and processing them; by flies; or by the use of polluted water for cleaning purposes. Shellfish, particularly oysters, grown in polluted water and fresh vegetables grown on soil fertilized or contaminated by untreated sewage are other possible causes. The prevention of typhoid fever depends mainly on proper sewage treatment, filtration and chlorination of water, and exclusion of carriers from employment in food industries and restaurants. In the early part of the 20th century, prophylactic vaccination using killed typhoid organisms was introduced, mainly in military forces and institutions, and contributed to a lowering of the incidence of the disease. Course of infection After an average 10–14-day incubation period, the early symptoms of typhoid appear: headache, malaise, generalized aching, fever, and restlessness that may interfere with sleep. There may be loss of appetite, nosebleeds, cough, and diarrhea or constipation. Persistent fever develops and gradually rises, usually in a stepwise fashion, reaching a peak of 39 or 40 °C (103 or 104 °F) after 7–10 days; left untreated, the fever continues with only slight morning remissions for another 10–14 days, sometimes longer."

These results indicate that the high-activity Val allele of the COMT Val (1)Met polymorphism is associated with increased alexithymic traits in patients with OCD. The present finding suggests that alexithymia is an endophenotype of OCD that is mediated by the COMT Val (1)Met polymorphism. No statistically significant differences were found between cases and controls for the allele frequencies in five genes: TH, SLC18A2, DRD1, DRD3 and COMT. Conversely, some alleles of the 12 s NPs from the DRD2 locus and the 5 from the MAOA locus showed significant associations with excessive alcohol consumption. Emotional processing mediates the link between COMT Val158Met and aggression in young people with ADHD. In three working memory tasks, we found no genotype-by-load interactions or main effects of COMT genotype on accuracy or reaction time. Findings provide evidence of an epistatic interaction between polymorphisms acting within the dopamine system (specifically upon DRD4 and COMT activity) and likelihood of comorbid substance abuse in women with bulimia-spectrum eating disturbances Initial studies in neonates with in utero opiate exposure demonstrated that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in COMT gene were associated with improved outcomes in infants with Neonatal abstinence syndrome.

On the contrary, it appears to be associated with improved heart health and decreased risk of heart disease I and other nutritional experts believe most people need upwards of 50-70 percent healthful fats in their diet for optimal health By Dr. Mercola A little over 100 years ago a German scientist wrote a letter to a company that made soap, and in so doing changed the way the world cooks its food. The soap company, Procter & Gamble, bought the scientist's idea—and Crisco was born. At this time in history, people used animal fats for cooking in the form of lard and butter. And while Crisco was purposely formulated to resemble lard and cook like lard, it was nothing like lard. The rest of the story, as related in The Atlantic, is a tale of marketing success i. When Marketing Alters Dietary Recommendations... Recipe in hand, Procter & Gamble launched a massive sales strategy for Crisco that rivals even some of the biggest sales pitches today, and won over the cooks of the world. According to The Atlantic:\"\"Never before had Procter & Gamble -- or any company for that matter -- put so much marketing support or advertising dollars behind a product. They hired the J. Walter Thompson Agency, America's first full service advertising agency staffed by real artists and professional writers. Samples of Crisco were mailed to grocers, restaurants, nutritionists, and home economists. Eight alternative marketing strategies were tested in different cities and their impacts calculated and compared."

What do Queen Mary II of England, King Louis XV of France, and Czar Peter II of Russia have in common? Other than being royalty, they all died from smallpox, one of the deadliest diseases in history. This devastating illness first surfaced thousands of years ago, and many believe smallpox killed more people than all other diseases combined before it was wiped out in the late 1970s. The variola (from the Latin word varus, meaning \"\"spotted\"\") virus causes two types of smallpox: variola major and variola minor. Variola major (the type discussed in this chapter) is extremely serious and can be fatal in up to 30 percent of cases. The milder variola minor is fatal in less than 1 percent of patients. How Common Is the Disease? Thanks to the vaccine * developed by Edward Jenner in 1796 and the World Health Organization's (WHO) intensified immunization program begun in 1967, smallpox is no longer found in the world; the last naturally occurring case was reported in Somalia in Africa in 1977."

Many pathogens require a living host to survive, while others may be able to persist in a dormant state outside of a living host. But having infected one host, all pathogens must also have a mechanism of transfer from one host to another or they will die when their host dies. Pathogens often have elaborate adaptations to exploit host biology, behavior, and ecology to live in and move between hosts. Hosts have evolved defenses against pathogens, but because their rates of evolution are typically slower than their pathogens (because their generation times are longer), hosts are usually at an evolutionary disadvantage. This section will explore where pathogens survive—both inside and outside hosts—and some of the many ways they move from one host to another. Reservoirs and Carriers For pathogens to persist over long periods of time they require reservoir s where they normally reside. Reservoirs can be living organisms or nonliving sites. Nonliving reservoirs can include soil and water in the environment. These may naturally harbor the organism because it may grow in that environment."

( More information)Early human diets were likely rich in phytosterols, providing as much as 1 g/day; however, the typical Western diet today is relatively low in phytosterols. ( More information)Although phytosterols are present in the diet in amounts similar to cholesterol, they are poorly absorbed and blood concentrations tend to be low. After absorption into enterocytes, phytosterols are actively excreted back into the intestinal lumen by the ATP-binding cassette transporter, ABCG5/G8. ( More information)Phytosterols interfere with the intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol by displacing cholesterol from micelles; they also facilitate the excretion of biliary cholesterol in the feces. ( More information)Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated that daily consumption of phytosterols from phytosterol-enriched foods can significantly lower serum low-density lipoprotein ( LDL )-cholesterol. An average phytosterol intake of 2 g/day lowers serum LDL-cholesterol by 8%-10%. ( More information)The effect of long-term use of foods enriched with phytosterols on cardiovascular risk is not known. ("

Learning Objectives Recognize factors that are classified as predisposing to infectious disease Key Takeaways Key Points Some predisposing factors of contracting infectious diseases can be anatomical, genetic, general and disease specific. Climate and weather, and other environmental factors that are affected by them, can also predispose people to infectious agents. Other factors such as overall health, age and diet are important considerations in the prevention of spreading infectious diseases. Key Termscystic fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis (also known as CF or mucoviscidosis) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs, and also the pancreas, liver and intestine. It is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium, leading to thick, viscous secretions. Chronic granulomatous disease: Also known as CGD, is a diverse group of genetic diseases in which certain cells of the immune system have difficulty forming the reactive oxygen compounds (most importantly, the superoxide radical) used to kill certain ingested pathogens. This leads to the formation of granulomata (a special type of inflammation) in many organs. The spread and severity of infectious disease is influenced by many predisposing factors. Some of these are more general and apply to many infectious agents, while others are disease specific."

Silent Spring Cover of the first edition Author Rachel Carson Country United States Language English Subjects Pesticides, ecology, environmentalism Published September 27, 1962 ( Houghton Mifflin)Media type Print ( Hardcover and Paperback)Silent Spring is an environmental science book by Rachel Carson. [ 1] The book was published on 27 September 1962 and it documented the adverse effects on the environment of the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation and public officials of accepting industry claims unquestioningly. In the late 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to the American public. Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by chemical companies, but it spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy, led to a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, [2] and inspired an environmental movement that led to the creation of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. [ 3] [4]In 1996, a follow-up book, Beyond Silent Spring, co-written by H. F. van Emden and David Peakall, was published. [ 5] [6] In 2006, Silent Spring was named one of the 25 greatest science books of all time by the editors of Discover Magazine.

"text": "Just how bad is Mc Donald’s food? Morgan Spurlock sought to find out in his 2004 documentary Super Size Me. In his film, I was interviewed and spoke about the role Mc Donald’s food is playing in our epidemic of obesity and diabetes. For 30 days, Spurlock ate only Mc Donald’s food. All of us involved in the film, including Spurlock’s doctors, were shocked at the amount that his health deteriorated in such a short time. Before the 30 days started, we each predicted what changes we expected to see in his weight, cholesterol levels, liver enzymes and other biomarkers, but every one of us substantially underestimated how severely his health would be jeopardized. It turned out that in the 30 days, the then 32-year-old man gained 25 pounds, his cholesterol levels rose dangerously as did fatty accumulations in his liver, and he experienced mood swings, depression, heart palpitations and sexual dysfunction. Some have said Spurlock was an idiot for eating that way, and it’s true that he did himself some major damage in those 30 days. But I’ve always felt the suffering he took upon himself by eating all his meals for that month at Mc Donald’s was admirable, because it served to warn millions of the all too real health dangers of eating too much fast food. Super Size Me struck a chord for a lot of people, as it became one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature."

"text": "Rachel Carson1907-1964A marine biologist and nature writer, Rachel Carson catalyzed the global environmental movement with her 1962 book Silent Spring. Outlining the dangers of chemical pesticides, the book led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides and sparked the movement that ultimately led to the creation of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Born on May 27, 1907 on a farm in Springdale, Pennsylvania, Carson was the youngest of Robert and Maria Mc Lean Carson’s three children. She developed a love of nature from her mother, and Carson became a published writer for children’s magazines by age 10. She attended the Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham University), graduating magna cum laude in 1929. She next studied at the oceanographic institute at Woods Hole, Massachusetts and at Johns Hopkins University, where she received a master’s degree in zoology in 1932. Strained family finances forced her to forego pursuit of a doctorate and help support her mother and, later, two orphaned nieces. After outscoring all other applicants on the civil service exam, in 1936 Carson became the second woman hired by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. She remained there for 15 years, writing brochures and other materials for the public. She was promoted to Editor-in-Chief of all publications for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service."

The famous 18-year-old actress (then 17) was in the Carson City area for the filming of “The Motel Life,” based on a book of the same name by author-musician Willy Vlautin. “I just saw her and Emile [Hirsch] filming in Carson City at the Back on Track Inn,” wrote Frank Norton in a comment on the website onlocationvacations.com on March 4, 2011. “ I yelled ‘I love you’ to her, and she stopped, looked at me, and started walking again. ”Norton represents that crazed movie lover in all of us; we become obsessed with the characters, quotes, and places from our favorite films. While a release date has not been announced for “The Motel Life”—also shot in Gardnerville, Genoa, Minden, and Reno—it’s just one of many in a long line of recognizable movies that take advantage of Nevada’s unique cities, towns, and landscapes. With the help of the Nevada Film Office, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, we chose a diverse group of films to spotlight in this story. Some of them you can even revisit—literally—today, simply by planning a trip to or within Nevada. Or, as the days get shorter and the weather grows colder, it’s also a great time of year to rent some movies and gather around the television with family and friends.

It is an extremely stable and decay-resistant chemical: the discoverer found that jars that had contained DDT and were subsequently autoclaved [2] still had enough DDT residue in them to kill insects. A little goes a long way. It's also toxic, in varying degrees, to things other than insects. It's main upsides is that it is cheap to produce and rather easy to produce huge amounts of (you can basically cook your own DDT with a high school chem lab) and that it is not immediately harmful to humans in normal doses (though it is carcinogenic in the long run). Its downsides include the development of resistances and the fact that it accumulates in fatty tissue of apex predators - like humans. DDT use was restricted and then banned in most Western countries in the 1960s and '70s, and in those countries where it remains legal, it is only used as a health measure to control the mosquitoes that spread malaria."

August 13, 2015Although they will probably always be less celebrated than wars, marches, riots, or stormy political campaigns, books have at times been the most powerful influencer of social change in American life. Thomas Paine's Common Sense galvanized radical sentiment in the early days of the Revolution; Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe roused the North's antipathy to slavery in the decade leading up to the Civil War; and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which in 1962 exposed the hazards of the pesticide DDT, eloquently questioned humanity's faith in technological progress and helped set the stage for the environmental movement. Rachel Carson examining a specimen Alfred Eisenstaedt/The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images Carson, a renowned nature author and a former marine biologist with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or FWS, was uniquely equipped to create so startling and inflammatory a book. A native of rural Pennsylvania, she had grown up with an enthusiasm for nature matched only by her love of writing and poetry. The educational brochures she wrote for FWS, as well as her published books and magazine articles, were characterized by meticulous research and a poetic evocation of her subject. \"\" Things go out of kilter\"\"Carson was happiest writing about the strength and resilience of natural systems. Her books Under the Sea Wind, The Sea Around Us (which stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for 86 weeks), and The Edge of the Sea were hymns to the interconnectedness of nature and all living things. Although she rarely used the term, Carson held an ecological view of nature, describing in precise yet poetic language the complex web of life that linked mollusks to seabirds to the fish swimming in the ocean's deepest and most inaccessible reaches. DDT, the most powerful pesticide the world had ever known, exposed nature's vulnerability."

People assume that Marra, head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and author of the recent book Cat Wars, hates cats. This is not the case. “ I love cats,” he says, calling them “fascinating, magnificent animals,” that seem to have a “freakish love for me.” He’s even considered a pet cat, despite being mildly allergic. “ This is the thing people don’t realize,” Marra told me recently at a café near his office in Washington, D. C. “I’m both a wild animal advocate and a domestic animal advocate. If my mother thought I wasn’t supporting cats, she’d be flipping in her grave. ”It’s an understandable mistake. After all, Marra has made himself the public face of what sounds a lot like an anti-cat crusade."

While it is no longer registered for use in the United States, DDT is still used in other countries. Most of these countries are located in tropical regions and use DDT as a preventative for malaria, a deadly mosquito-borne disease. A BIT OF DDT HISTORY: During the World War II era, DDT was hailed as the \"\"savior of mankind\"\". The chemical had proved itself to be an efficient means of preventing the transmittal of such diseases as typhus, associated with the flea, and malaria, associated with the mosquito. In its heyday, DDT was the most widely used insecticide of its time. Its popularity was a result of its cheapness, availability, potency, and so-called safety. Because DDT remains in its toxic state for years, farmers enjoyed many seasons of protection from a single spraying."

Free from scrutiny, groups, governments, and companies often get up to no good, safe in the belief that their images will remain squeaky clean, no matter how filthy their actions may be. If not for the brave actions and dogged determination of a few men and women who make it their trade to uncover malfeasance and force institutions into the light, some of the greatest crimes and abuses in history might never have been revealed. These men and women came to be known as “muckrakers.” Although the term started out as a pejorative, it has since become a heroic moniker for anyone who digs and digs to find the truth. Here are ten of the best muckrakers in the history of the American press.10. Samuel Hopkins Adams It may seem laughable to us now (except for those of us who buy Noni juice), but there was a time in American history when anybody could mix a few ingredients in a bottle, stick a fancy label on it, and sell it as medicine. Called patent medicines, these concoctions were sold across the nation by traveling men who promised to cure all that ailed you. In a time where real medicine was undiscovered or hard to come by, the promise of relief from the aches and pains of a difficult life was all most people needed to part with their hard earned money. Some of the stuff actually worked, but since there was no testing, no standards, and no oversight, people had no idea if what they were getting was real, harmless, or dangerous."

Starting from a crisis-driven, opportunistic approach, most organisations developed global strategies to increase the impact of their work and to improve the effectiveness of the resources at their disposal. For WWF it has meant prioritising large geographical areas known as ecoregions and developing targeted outcomes at a global level. The World Wildlife Fund was founded in 1961 - the 11 September 1961 to be precise - by a small group of ardent, mostly British naturalists and conservationists such as Peter Scott, Max Nicholson, Guy Mountfort and Julian Huxley. The latter, Huxley, had published a series of articles in the UK's Observer newspaper on his observations of an environmental crisis in Africa. He received a reaction from the businessman Victor Stolan in December 1960 who proposed the establishment of an international organisation to raise funds for the conservation of wild species. Huxley, Nicholson and companions reacted to this by forming WWF, known then as the World Wildlife Fund, a little under a year later. All of those founders had connections with other conservation organisations such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Fauna Preservation Society, UNESCO, the British Nature Conservancy, etc., and so WWF had a springboard from their knowledge and connections. 1Environmentalism becomes a public issue Until that time conservation had been largely the domain of scientists and hunters, but WWF moved the agenda out into the public arena for the first time, using publicity and public appeals skilfully."

"text": "Ben Carson as HUD Secretary: What Could It Mean for Housing? Clare Trapasso, Realtor.com • November 29, 2016Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images More Retired neurosurgeon and former Republican presidential contender Ben Carson has reportedly accepted the role of the next secretary of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the federal agency tasked with helping people secure affordable housing in an age where a dearth of homes on the market have led to skyrocketing rents and prices. There had been no announcement of Carson’s acceptance as of Monday afternoon, and his spokesman Armstrong Williams declined to comment to realtor.com® about the appointment. According to a story on Housing Wire, sources say the deal is done and that an announcement is forthcoming. If he accepts the spot, Carson will have a key role in crafting and ushering through policies that could affect the housing market long beyond the next four years of President-elect Donald Trump ‘s administration. And those policies will also play a role in determining the futures of the millions of Americans who depend on HUD, ranging from the poorest Americans seeking subsidized housing to first-time buyers shopping for mortgages. Like his would-be future boss, the doctor who grew up in Detroit is better known for a long and storied career in an unrelated field—in Carson’s case, brain surgery—than for the government portfolio he would oversee. This is a marked departure from the last two HUD secretaries, who brought housing and urban renewal experience to the position. So what would Carson mean to HUD? His proposals from the campaign trail offer a few hints, which might spell bad news for mortgage interest deductions and a HUD fair housing rule designed to better integrate communities across racial and economic lines."

Methods: This was an ethnographic study in medical anthropology. Discussion: Some reference sources and print and online news media have all contributed to the persistence of the association between NF1 and elephant man's disease. Our observations suggest that confusing NF1 with the Elephant Man's condition harms the interests of those with NF1 and thus increases the burden of the disease. Conclusion: Changes of attitude regarding medical teaching and the media could dispel the confusion among physicians and journalists. Elephant Man Genetic Disease Neurofibromatosis Proteus Syndrome Psychosocial Impact For many years it was thought Joseph Merrick, widely known as the Elephant Man, had suffered from neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). 1 In 1986, geneticists Tibbles and Cohen 2 demonstrated that Merrick was actually afflicted with Proteus syndrome, a much rarer condition. With an established diagnosis of Merrick's real disease and current knowledge about NF1, NFI should no longer be misguidedly identified with the disease the Elephant Man had. However, our recent experience in the context of an ongoing ethnographic study of intergenerational dialogue between adolescents with NF1 and their parents revealed that some physicians continue to identify NF1 as the same as Merrick's condition."

Because the locals expect him to do the job, he does so against his better judgment, his anguish increased by the elephant's slow and painful death. The story is regarded as a metaphor for British imperialism, and for Orwell's view that \"\"when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys.\"\" [ 2]Orwell spent some of his life in Burma in a position akin to that of the narrator, but the degree to which his account is autobiographical is disputed, with no conclusive evidence to prove it to be fact or fiction.

KEYWORDSfor searching the Internet and other reference sources Inherited Genetic Disorders Neurology What Is Neurofibromatosis? The most common form, called neurofibromatosis type 1 or NF-1, mainly affects nerves in the skin, producing soft nodules or bumps. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) is a very rare disorder that affects the auditory nerves responsible for hearing and balance. Both types are caused by defective genes * . Neurofibromatosis also is called von Recklinghausen's disease, after the German physician Friedrich von Recklinghausen (1833—1910), who described it in 1882. The tumors he noted, called neurofibromas (noor-o-fy-BRO-mas), arise from the cells that make up the covering sheaths of the nerves. NF-1 and NF-2 neurofibromatoses occur in both sexes and in all racial and ethnic groups. In the United States, NF-1 occurs in about 1 of 4,000 persons. NF-2 is 10 times less common, occurring in about 1 in 40,000 people."

But sometimes we just can’t seem to stop hurting and get out of our mental rut. It has been estimated by the Mental Health Association that some 19 million people in the US are affected by depression each year. Why is this? Spiritual teacher Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, says that it’s because our mind is fixated on thoughts of,“What about me?,” “ What about me?,” “ What about me?”In fact, many spiritual teachers have said similar things."

"text": "Modern Mysteries Natural World Mysterious Man-Hunting Serial Killers of the Animal World Brent Swancer May 26, 2014Facebook Twitter Google+Among the throngs of countless people on this Earth stalk a particularly ruthless breed of human being known as the serial killer. These are the cunning, shadowy individuals who kill, bide their time, then kill again in a cycle of gruesome violence. However, we have more than just the bloodthirsty killers of our own kind to worry about. The animal kingdom, too, on occasion rises against us and sends an emissary of death to haunt us and slaughter us one by one. Some of these serial killers of the natural world have gone beyond merely turning to mindless man eating. They stalk the dark jungles of the world, methodically hunting down their human prey only to lie in wait to strike again. They seem to display a certain demonic intelligence, and an uncanny ability to evade capture or to disappear into the shadows that seem to transcend simple animal instincts. Whether it is out of insanity, revenge, or simply for the thrill of it, these animals seem to kill not out of any real need to feed, but rather seem to be driven by some dark, wicked intent. In some cases, these ruthless killers are often so cunning and elusive that they evolve into something more than a mere animal, becoming ghosts, spirits, or gods, and moving from the animal kingdom into dark folklore and myth. Here are some of the cases of cunning and murderous animals that turned the tables on us, going from the hunted to the hunter."

The essay delves into an inner conflict that Orwell experiences in his role of representing the British Empire and upholding the law. At the opening of the essay Orwell explains that he is opposed to the British colonial project in Burma. In explicit terms he says that he's on the side of the Burmese people,who he feels are oppressed by colonial rule. As a police officer he sees the brutalities of the imperial project up close and first hand. He resents the British presence in the country. Inevitably then, he faces challenges as a police officer representing British imperial power. The people of Burma hate the empire too, and thus they hate Orwell, for he is the face of the empire. They harass him and mock him and seek opportunities to laugh at him. He explains that at the time of the events, he is too young to grasp the dilemma of his situation, or to know how to deal with it."

The lives of hominid fossils, prehistoric people, and people from the recent past are better understood if evidence for health and disease derived from their remains is considered. Some diseases can be diagnosed from ancient skeletons and mummies. Others can be identified through ancient DNA techniques or through paleoparasitology. Bioarchaeology seeks to place evidence for health and disease in cultural, historical, ecological, and archaeological contexts. Osteobiography uses the techniques of paleopathology to describe the life experiences both of persons known from history and of the anonymous ancient dead. New technologies and new media promise to improve communication in this interdisciplinary field.

[ 1]What distinguished the California trail from all other overland emigrant trails can be summed up in a single word -- gold. The January 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's mill on the American River would firmly establish the California trail and also directly impact all other trails that led emigrants to the great American West. Although emigrant companies had arrived in California prior to the great gold rush, the full story of the California Trail occurred after 1848, as the allure of wealth caused hundreds of thousands to surmount incredible obstacles while following routes to the Golden State. [ 2]The Establishment of the California Trail As early as 1841 the Bidwell-Bartleson company arrived in California after abandoning wagons in present-day northeastern Nevada and after an almost desperate crossing of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. [ 3] After arriving in California, one company member, Joseph C. Chiles, returned east in 1842, organized another company, and set out for California in 1843. Near Fort Bridger the Chiles company enlisted mountain man Joseph Walker as a guide. As they continued west, the shortage of provisions became a critical problem, causing Chiles and Walker to split the company into two groups. Chiles led one group of packers along the Oregon Trail to Fort Boise then turned southwest, crossed into present-day California, and eventually reached Sutter's Fort. Walker led the remainder of the company with the wagons, west toward California."

Inset: Gareth Crowe Photo: APBy Philip Sherwell, Bangkok12:45PM GMT 05 Feb 2016Follow The handler of a marauding elephant that trampled a British tourist to death in Thailand has been charged with negligence after police studied photographs on the dead man’s camera. The images recovered from the camera of Gareth Crowe allegedly showed that the “recklessness” of the handler, or mahout, contributed to the tragedy, police said. Investigators said that the Burmese man neglected his duty by climbing down from the elephant’s neck to take a photo for the tourists and then lost control of the animal. An online video taken at the same resort where Mr Crowe was killed shows a handler poking a docile elephant with a stick Photo: © SWNS Group But the charge raised immediate criticism that the migrant worker was being made a scapegoat for the Thai safari company that organised the elephant ride. Island Safari has faced previous cruelty allegations from customers who claimed on travel websites that elephants suffered wounds from the bullhooks used by handlers to control them. The company has denied the allegations and said that it was suspending rides for 15 days while it reviewed safety procedures. Mr Crowe’s death has prompted fresh calls from animal welfare campaigners for an end to all elephant tourist rides on the grounds that the practice is cruel as well as dangerous for holidaymakers. Gareth Crowe and his step-daughter were visiting the holiday island of Koh Samui The 36-year-old Scottish man was killed in front of his step-daughter Eilidh Hughes, 16, after the two were thrown from the elephant when it reared out of control during the short ride on the holiday island of Koh Samui. There have been witness reports that the mahout jabbed the elephant with his bullhook as he attempted to regain control of the animal."

March 4, 2016 Sean Adl-Tabatabai Health 267Scientists claim that autism has been around for over 1,000 years and has remained consistently as prevalent as it is in today’s world – with 1 in every 166 in the U. S. being born with autism. However, within the Amish community autism does not exist. Why is this? It looks like the answer to this question leads to a much bigger revelation about the cause of autism itself. Mercola.com reports: Since they have been cut off for hundreds of years from American culture and scientific progress, the Amish may have had less exposure to some new factor triggering autism in the rest of population. The likely culprit: vaccines. Traveling to the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country in search of autistic Amish children, the reporter, based on national statistics, should have found as many as 200 children with autism in the community — instead, he found only three, the oldest age 9 or 10: Find Out More > 90,201The first autistic Amish child was a girl who had been brought over from China, adopted by one family only to be given up after becoming overwhelmed by her autism, and then re-adopted by an Amish Mennonite family.

PCD is rarely considered, however, because its symptoms are common in other diseases ranging from allergies to cystic fibrosis. What causes primary ciliary dyskinesia? Roughly 1 in 12,000 to 1 in 30,000 infants are born with this rare disease. Research indicates the condition is common among children and adults in the Amish and Mennonite communities in the Midwest.

The oldest Maryland Amish settlement, at Oakland (Garrett County), was settled in 1850. Today it is a single church district in size. The Mechanicsville Amish community in southern Maryland was founded nearly a century later (1940) than the Oakland community. But today it is much larger, consisting of 8 districts, with Amish residing in St. Mary’s County as well as in neighboring Charles County. St. Mary’s Co. MD Amish Mechanicsville is a Lancaster County daughter settlement. Amish first emigrated here in 1940 in response to statewide educational changes in Pennsylvania, including school consolidation and longer school years. Amish parents, who had long sent their children to small public one-room schoolhouses, found themselves losing influence over the character of those institutions. These issues reached a flashpoint in Lancaster County in the late 1930’s. One-room school house in the Mechanicsville, MD Amish community Nearby Maryland provided a place for Lancaster Amish to escape these pressures and, as Karen Johnson-Weiner describes in New York Amish, avoid “what they saw as a threat to their religious identity” ( New York Amish, Johnson-Weiner, p. 82)."

Both statements are incorrect. The Amish have no religious prohibition against vaccination and they do have autism. The question of autism amongst the Amish has been studied and is being presented at the IMFAR autism conference this week. The paper, Prevalence Rates of Autism Spectrum Disorders Among the Old Order Amish, demonstrates a preliminary prevalence of 1 in 271 as the prevalence of autism amongst Amish children in two Amish communities: Holmes County, Ohio and Elkhart-Lagrange County, Indiana.

Pericak-Vance , Hussman Institute for Human Genomics, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FLBackground: The prevalence rate of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) appears to be steadily increasing. The latest report from the Center for Disease Control estimates the rate of ASD is 1 in 91 children (Kogan, 2009), up from 1 in 150 in 2007. Understanding the seeming changes in ASD prevalence require careful exploration of genetic and environmental factors. A method that has proven useful in dissecting the etiology of complex diseases is the study of isolated populations. One population isolate that has been studied extensively is the Amish, with well over 250 genetic studies."

Although Janita s pregnancy seemed fairly normal, she had experienced extra fluid and pre-term labor, which they now know are typical of pregnancies for pretzel syndrome babies. But ultrasounds and other testing during her pregnancy showed nothing wrong at the time. Then, the couple wondered if their infant daughter was showing some mild delays in her development concerns that any parent might have."

ADVERTISEMENTPennsylvania State Police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller, however, told reporters Tuesday they have found no evidence, nor any report, of any such abuse by the gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV. They also said there was no evidence any of the hostages at the Amish school were sexually abused. \"\" Neither his wife or any member of his family we have spoken to has any knowledge of any crime being committed,\"\" Miller said of Roberts' claims of abuse. \"\" It's unknown what type of molestation, whether it was fondling or inappropriate touching or if it was sexual assault — or if anything occurred. \"\"• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Crime Center• FOXNews.com's Amish Country shooting photo essay Roberts was a 32-year-old father of three from nearby Bart Township and was not Amish, but he was deeply scarred by the death of his premature baby, Elise — the firstborn child of he and his wife — nine years ago, Miller added. Roberts left a number of suicide notes — including one for each of his three children and his wife, Miller said. The note left for his wife referenced something he did 20 years ago but did not go into detail about what that was. He did, however, say he had been having dreams recently, during which he wants to do that again. Roberts' wife didn't know what he was referring to until he called her from inside the schoolhouse during the attack at 10:50 a.m. Roberts said, \"\"I am not coming home, the police are here,\"\" according to Miller."

Miller -the most common of all Amish last names. Joseph Stoll writes: “The German spelling was Müller, and because there were many Millers in Europe, the name was very common, with no common ancestor for many people of this name. There were a number of Anabaptists of this name in different parts of Switzerland.” Miller is most common in the Midwest; a few Millers may be found in Lancaster County, however.2. Stoltzfus – The most common Pennsylvania Amish surname. Nicholas Stoltzfus (1719-1774) is believed to be the common ancestor of all those with this name among Amish and Mennonites today.

The syndrome is commonly found among the Old Order Amish of Pennsylvania, a population that experiences the \"\" founder effect .\"\" Genetically inherited diseases like Ellis-van Creveld are more concentrated among the Amish because they marry within their own community, which prevents new genetic variation from entering the population. Children are therefore more likely to inherit two copies of the particular recessive genes that lead to genetic disease. Click for larger image Resource Type: Image Format: Graphic Topics Covered: Evolution Since Darwin Backgrounder Genetic Drift and the Founder Effect: Eastern Pennsylvania is home to beautiful farmlands and countryside, but it's also a gold mine of information for geneticists, who have studied the region's Amish culture for decades. Because of their closed population stemming from a small number of German immigrants -- about 200 individuals -- the Amish carry unusual concentrations of gene mutations that cause a number of otherwise rare inherited disorders, including forms of dwarfism. One form of dwarfism, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, involves not only short stature but polydactyly (extra fingers or toes), abnormalities of the nails and teeth, and, in about half of individuals, a hole between the two upper chambers of the heart. The syndrome is common in the Amish because of the \"\" founder effect .\"\" When a small part of a population moves to a new locale, or when the population is reduced to a small size because of some environmental change, the genes of the \"\"founders\"\" of the new society are disproportionately frequent in the resulting population. If individuals in the group tend to marry within it, there's a greater likelihood that the recessive genes of the founders will come together in the cells that produce offspring."

Yoder (No. 70-110)Argued: December 8, 1971Decided: May 15, 1972___Syllabus Opinion, Burger Concurrence, Stewart Concurrence, White Dissent, Douglas Syllabus Respondents, members of the Old Order Amish religion and the Conservative Amish Mennonite Church, were convicted of violating Wisconsin's compulsory school attendance law (which requires a child's school attendance until age 16) by declining to send their children to public or private school after they had graduated from the eighth grade. The evidence showed that the Amish provide continuing informal vocational education to their children designed to prepare them for life in the rural Amish community. The evidence also showed that respondents sincerely believed that high school attendance was contrary to the Amish religion and way of life, and that they would endanger their own salvation and that of their children by complying with the law. The State Supreme Court sustained respondents' claim that application of the compulsory school attendance law to them violated their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment. Held:1. The State's interest in universal education is not totally free from a balancing process when it impinges on other fundamental rights, such as those specifically protected by the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the traditional interest of parents with respect to the religious upbringing of their children. Pp. 213-215.2. Respondents have amply supported their claim that enforcement of the compulsory formal education requirement after the eighth grade would gravely endanger if not destroy the free exercise of their religious beliefs."

The states with the largest Amish populations are Ohio and Pennsylvania. The largest individual settlements, are found at Holmes County, Ohio, and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Indiana has the third highest Amish population. Together these three states are home to roughly two-thirds of all Amish. These three states are also home to significant populations of Old Order or “Team” Mennonites, who share some similarities with Amish, including plain dress and use of the horse-and-buggy.

Through his writings, Simons articulated and formalized the teachings of earlier Swiss founders. The early teachings of the Mennonites were founded on the belief in both the mission and ministry of Jesus, which the original Anabaptist followers held to with great conviction despite persecution by the various Roman Catholic and Protestant states. Rather than fight, the majority of these followers survived by fleeing to neighboring states where ruling families were tolerant of their belief in believer's baptism. Over the years, Mennonites have become known as one of the historic peace churches because of their commitment to pacifism. [ 2]In contemporary 21st-century society, Mennonites either are described only as a religious denomination with members of different ethnic origins [3] [4] or as both an ethnic group and a religious denomination. There is controversy among Mennonites about this issue, with some insisting that they are simply a religious group while others argue that they form a distinct ethnic group. [ 5] Historians and sociologists have increasingly started to treat Mennonites as an ethno-religious group, [6] while others have begun to challenge that perception. [ 7] There is also a discussion about the term \"\" ethnic Mennonite \"\". Conservative Mennonite groups, who speak Pennsylvania German, Plautdietsch (Low German), or Bernese German fit well into the definition of an ethnic group, while more liberal groups and converts in developing countries do not."

He said she would never see him again, and she pleaded with him to come home and talk to her, even though she had no idea of the horror he was about to unleash. The crime stunned the nation, not only because of the brutality against young children, but because it took place in traditional Christian community whose residents are known for their peaceable ways and avoidance of the modern world. The gunman was Charles Roberts, a father of three and husband. Roberts, his wife, Marie, and their children lived one mile away from the school. His then-wife -- who has since remarried and taken the last name Monville -- is now talking about the tragedy that changed so many lives, including her own. In an interview with ABC News' Amy Robach, Monville, 35, was asked if she knew why her husband did what he did. Monville described Roberts as an even-tempered man who had periodic, brief bouts of depression. She said they'd grown a bit distant from each other in their marriage, but had no inkling that her 32-year-old husband could commit such an act."

These insects contaminate food and utensils, destroy fabric and paper products, and impart stain and odor to surfaces they contact. They are amazing creatures, though, as they are able not only to regrow their lost legs and limbs in just 18 weeks, but that those body parts also grow in size with each subsequent molt. The medical importance of cockroaches is much greater than generally realized as they have been shown to carry diverse pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacterial flora, different protozoa, pathogenic helminths, fungi, and viruses. Like any biting or walking insects, such as bedbugs cockroaches can be very good transporters and thus can participate in spreading molds. It was reported that 98% of cockroaches found in medical facilities could carry pathogens on their integuments or digestive tracts. The mite ( Pimeliaphilus cunliffei) is a parasite of cockroaches. It feeds on live individuals and has been linked to bites of humans living in households with cockroach infestations. 6,7,9Cockroaches are universally loathed.

The causes of asthma symptoms can vary from person to person. Still, one thing is consistent with asthma: when airways come into contact with an asthma trigger, the airways become inflamed, narrow, and fill with mucus. When you have an asthma attack, spasms of the muscles around the airways, inflammation and swelling of the mucosal membrane lining the airways, and excessive amounts of mucus contribute to airway narrowing. This makes airway resistance increase and the work of breathing more difficult, causing shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing. You may have coughing with asthma because of the irritation inside the airway and the body's attempt to clean out the accumulations of thick mucus. So why do you have asthma and your friend doesn't?"

Adults are easily recognized by their light brown or tan coloration with two black horizontal stripes located on the pronotum immediately behind the head, and growing to a length of 13-16 mm. The much smaller young, or nymphs, are darker, almost black in color, also with the black stripes behind the head. Do German Cockroaches Fly? While adult German cockroaches have wings, they rarely fly, preferring to run. Behavior, Diet & Habits Although capable of living outdoors in tropical environments, German cockroaches are most commonly found indoors, with a preference for the warmer and more humid areas of a structure. In homes, these insects will typically be found in kitchens and bathrooms, but can move to other areas of a home if food and moisture are available. How Do German Cockroaches Get Inside? In most cases, German cockroaches are introduced into a structure or residence when bags, boxes or cardboard containers are brought into the home. They may even be brought in with used appliances."

Natural death of cockroaches probably occurs in the stomach of a bird, bat or other small animal. Second, Cockroaches are not used to living on a polished marble or vinyl floor. They are more used to a ruguous living plane including leaves and sticks and other vegetable debris. Thus when a cockroach finds itself on its back (by some mistake in its orienteering) it may have trouble righting itself if there is not debris around to grab hold of with its legs.

The size of the mandible marks and the apparent degree of vigor with which they feed are indications of the type of roach which did the damage. The size and shape of fecal droppings are also clues to the cockroach species involved. The most important aspect of cockroach damage derives from their habit of feeding and harboring in damp and unsanitary places such as sewers, garbage disposals, kitchens, bathrooms, and storage areas indoors. Filth from these sources is spread by the cockroaches to food supplies, food preparation surfaces, dishes, utensils, and other surfaces. Far more food is contaminated by cockroaches than they are able to eat. Diseases transmitted as a result of these habits were discussed earlier."

"text": "Can Cockroaches Really Spread Diseases? By Chris Williams on April 4, 2016. We know that the average household cockroach is ferrying around a boatload of germs on its body on any given day. We also know that, at least in the lab, cockroaches can transmit those diseases to people. However, cockroaches don’t transmit disease directly into our blood stream through a bite like mosquitoes or ticks, but are what we call passive or “mechanical” disease vectors. In other words, they can transfer bacteria and other disease organisms carried on their bodies to our food or food surfaces. Cockroaches Specialize in Down and Dirty Think about the cockroaches’ lifestyle, where they live, and what they do. Like house flies and blow flies, cockroaches do not hesitate to walk across poop, and even feed on it. They sometimes live inside sewer systems, after all, and they’re only there because they want to be (see Yes, There Are Cockroaches in Your Sewer System! ). You can imagine the variety of human diseases that can be cultured from a city sewer."

The termite belongs to the order of the roaches called Blattodea. It has been known for decades that termites are closely related to cockroaches, predominately the wood eating species of roach. Until recently, the termites were the order Isoptera, which is now the suborder. This new taxonomical shift is supported by data and research to confirm the new comparison that termites are actually social cockroaches. This suborder of Isoptera has over 2,600 species worldwide, and 50 species that call North America their home. The heaviest populated areas are located in the tropic and sub tropic regions. The origin of the name Isoptera is Greek and means two pairs of straight wings. The termite has been called the white ant over the years and commonly confused with the true ant. It wasn’t until modern times and the use of microscopes they were able to observe distinguishing features between the two orders."

Cockroaches are replusive and objectionable to most people simply by their presence. They are also capable of mechanically transmitting disease organisms such as the bacteria which cause food poisoning. Recently, cockroaches have been found to be an important source of allergy in people, second only to house dust. The German cockroach is by far the most common roach found in homes. Oriental and American cockroaches usually prefer dark, damp areas such as basements, floor drains, crawl spaces, and utility closets. Cockroaches typically become established in homes after being introduced in grocery bags, with laundry or, in some cases, wandering in from outdoors. Once cockroaches become established they are prolific breeders capable of producing several thousand offspring in a year. Cockroaches prefer to live where there is food, warmth and moisture. Since cockroaches flourish where food and moisture are readily available, sanitation is an important step in prevention and control."

Roaches are extremely opportunistic pests that can squeeze through the tiniest of cracks and exploit the most meager food and water supplies. They're also the ultimate survivors: cockroaches have been around since the time of dinosaurs, can go nearly a month without food, and can even live for up to a week without a head.

You can hire an exterminator to kill or keep pests such as cockroaches, termites and rats at bay. Many companies either have technicians on staff or hire commercial pest control operators to keep their facilities clean and compliant with health codes and other regulations. While your house doesn't need to meet the same stringent codes a restaurant might, you likely want to keep your home safe from bugs and mice. Besides being general pests, termites, carpenter ants and other vermin can destroy the structural integrity of your home, making it unsafe for anyone to live in. What to Ask a Pest Control Company It's important to ask the right questions before hiring a pest control company. You need to know whether the exterminators do quality work and if they know the proper ways to kill pests without exposing you and your family to potentially harmful chemicals. Here's a list of questions you must ask any extermination company to ensure you hire the best people for the job: Are You Licensed?

Sufferers of this fear experience undue anxiety even though they realize that most insects pose no threat. To avoid insects, they may frequently clean rooms and carpets, sweep hallways, spray insect-killer or seal off doors and windows. ”One of the primary causes for this phobia can often be traced by to a previous incident involving cockroaches. It could be a family member had previously suffered a traumatic experience involving cockroaches and instilled a fear simply by recounting negative thoughts about the roach.

Answer by Wamibo Confidence votes 3.7KCockroaches can live happily in extreme heat and extreme cold so weather is not a factor in attracting them into your home. But a dirty home is something a cockroach will be attracted to. The female Germanica Cockroach, which is the most common pest in homes carries its egg capsule or ootheca, containing about 16 eggs under its abdomen, until the eggs are about to hatch. Then it is searching for a nice place to start its new family where there is plenty of food about. It will be particularly attracted to stored food products such as larders in any home. But also people who leave bits of food around everywhere and do not bother to sweep up, that will be just what the mother cockroach is looking for. Because she will deposit her egg capsule in a safe spot where there is food nearby. Her egg capsule is likely to be deposited in a dark damp nook or under floorboards in such dirty homes. So if you do not bother to clean up under the table after eating or leave bits of food all over the carpet and kitchen floor or leave bits of food on floor in your bedroom, a female cockroach ready to deposit her eggs for hatching will find your home a perfect place to start her new family."

( Photo: Creative Commons/David Iliff)The koala, an important native symbol of Australia, may be in danger from a predator of microscopic size. Chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted disease, or STD, among humans, also infects koalas and threatens to endanger the furry marsupial population. Deadly Koala Chlamydia Epidemic BBC reports that chlamydia infections among Australia's koalas are causing a devastating epidemic, with some koala population infection rates reaching 90 percent. One wildlife hospital in Queensland treated 300 cases in 2012 and even created \"\"koala wards\"\" -- a series of open-air enclosures -- to treat the koala chlamydia outbreak year-round. Like Us on Facebook Koala chlamydia, a different strain of the STD than the one that infects humans, is a dangerous disease for the koalas because it can cause blindness, infertility and even death. Koalas of all ages -- even the joeys, a term for baby koalas -- are at risk of the disease, spreading the STD sexually as well as through body fluids like breast milk. According to National Geographic, koalas, which once numbered in the millions, were hunted almost to the point of extinction during the 1920s and 1930s, mainly for their fur. But because of rigorous reintroduction efforts, koalas inhabit a vast part of their former territory, with somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 of them currently in the wild. Still, the koala population is not out of the woods quite yet. \"\""

The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, spoon-shaped nose. The koala has a body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and weighs 4–15 kg (9–33 lb). Pelage colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than their counterparts further south. These populations possibly are separate subspecies, but this is disputed. Koalas typically inhabit open eucalypt woodlands, and the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet."

"text": "\"koala bear Facts Portrait of a Koala Bear The koala bear is an adorable, tree dwelling marsupial that is perhaps the most popular animal native to Australia. Koalas live in Eucalypt forests, spending the vast majority of their lives in just a handful of eucalyptus trees, also known as gum trees. These animals are nocturnal and spend four to six hours a night quietly munching on Eucalyptus leaves. In the course of a single evening, a 30 pound koala consumes about 2 pounds of leaves. The nutritional value of this diet is so poor that the koala is designed to conserve as much energy as possible. A healthy adult koala spends about 18 hours a day sleeping - mostly in the heat of the afternoon - and no more than 5 minutes a day in full-bodied exertion. Moving from one to another of the trees that it has designated as its territory is the most energy a koala will commit in any 24 hour period. Very much like the South American sloths in lifestyle, the koala bear has an extremely slow metabolism and takes days to digest a meal. The koala bear has a broad face with forward facing eyes, a large head with round tufted ears and an egg-shaped tailless body covered with plush grey to brown fur that is whiter on the undersides and often mottled over the rump. They are not social at all, marking out clear territories, and actively avoiding each other throughout most of their lives, other than for very brief mating encounters."

During the day they doze, tucked into forks or nooks in the trees, sleeping for up to 18 hours. This sedentary lifestyle can be attributed to the fact they have unusually small brains and survive on a diet of nutrient-poor leaves. Koalas tend to smell strongly of eucalyptus and musk.

Contrary to popular opinion, they are not migratory animals, but highly territorial. In stable breeding groups, individual members of Koala society maintain their own \"\"home range\"\" areas. In the example below, 'Arnie' is the dominant male, and his home range (the largest at 1km x 1000-400m, and 43 hectares in area) overlaps the home ranges of both males and females. Arnie regularly moves through the area of his home range in a single night during breeding season. This is a socially secure, stable population with breeding females; most have a weaned juvenile in the vicinity and another pouch young. The home range of each animal fits together like a jigsaw. This illustrates that the habitat supporting this Koala population is ideal for its survival. However, if the available habitat were to be reduced in any way, the potential for survival of each individual would also be reduced. How would you like a highway through your living room?"

In the beginning of the 20 th century, the population had faced a sudden decline as a result now koalas have gone extinct in Tasmania or Western Australia. The origin of koalas is still in ambiguity however, some of the koala fossils have been discovered in northern Australia dating back to 20 million years ago. In those times, northern Australia had been covered with a dense rainforest.

Victoria and South Australia were excluded from the listing. The AKF believes that the Koala should have been listed in all States. Research conducted by the AKF strongly suggests the Koala’s conservation status should be upgraded to “ CRITICALLY ENDANGERED ” in the South East Queensland Bioregionas the Queensland Minister for the Environment has declared them to be “functionally extinct”. Koalas are in serious decline suffering from the effects of habitat destruction, domestic dog attacks, bushfires and road accidents. The Australian Koala Foundation estimates that there are less than 100,000 Koalas left in the wild, possibly as few as 43,000. You can see how we determined those figures here. It is the AKF’ view that is no legislation that effectively and/or consistently protects Koala habitat anywhere within Australia, not necessarily because the legislation does not exist, but because there is not always the political will to adequately resource, implement, police and enforce such legislation. That is why the AKF wants a Koala Protection Act. There are four states where Koalas occur in the wild---Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia---and each state has its own legislation (see below)."

"text": "Home Topics Wildlife and ecosystems Animals Living with wildlife Koalas Koala threats Koalas on roads Koalas and dogs Koalas in backyards Koalas and swimming pools Koalas face many threats in an increasingly cleared, developed and fragmented landscape. The biggest threat to koalas is habitat loss. Much of the koala's habitat in Queensland overlaps with areas where significant clearing has occurred, and continues to occur, for urban, industrial and rural development. In South East Queensland, the human population is increasing by more than 1000 people a week. This rapid population growth and increased need for houses is placing considerable pressure on the limited remaining koala habitat. As habitat patches become smaller and more fragmented, koalas are more likely to move through developed areas. In developed areas, koalas have to cross roads and move through properties where they may be attacked by dogs or drown in backyard swimming pools. After habitat clearing, the most serious threat to koalas is death from car hits. In South East Queensland, an average of almost 300 koalas are killed each year by motor vehicles, based on wildlife hospital records in the period 1997 to early 2011. Disease also threatens koalas."

The Phillip Island Nature Parks are a not for profit organisation with four parks: the Penguin Parade; Nobbies Centre; Churchill Island Heritage Farm; and the Koala Conservation Centre. All revenue is invested into conservation and research endeavors on the island. The parks each have a different focus and are all worth a visit when you are on Phillip Island.

"text": "\"The breeding season for Koalas is approximately August to February. This is a time of increased amovement for Koalas, with sound levels increasing as males bellow more frequently. This is also when the young from the previous year leave their mothers and disperse. This period is the busiest for Koala carers, as suburban Koalas are on the move, crossing paths with cars and dogs, and higher rates of stress-induced sickness. Females generally start breeding at about three or four years of age, usually producing one offspring each year. However, not all females in a wild population will breed each year; some produce offspring only every two or three years, depending on factors such as age and habitat quality. In the average female's 12-year life span, she may produce five or six offspring over her lifetime. Once conceived, it is only 35 days before the birth of the baby Koala, called a \"\"joey\"\". The newborn is tiny (at roughly 2 centimetres long and less than 1 gram in weight), and looks like a pink jellybean; totally hairless, blind, with no ears. The joey makes its way from the birth canal to the pouch completely unaided, relying on its already well-developed senses of smell and touch, strong forelimbs and claws and innate sense of direction."

They live in a range of temperate, sub-tropical and tropical forest, woodland and semi-arid communities dominated by eucalypt species. Koalas in some regions face increasing threats from urban expansion, disease, habitat loss, vehicle strike, and predation by dogs, and from their susceptibility to drought and climate change. However, the health, size and status of koala populations differ significantly across Australia. Listing of the species under national environment law After considering scientific advice from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee, the Environment Minister has listed the Queensland, New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory koala populations as vulnerable under national environment law.

It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats. The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, spoon-shaped nose. The koala has a body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and weighs 4–15 kg (9–33 lb). Pelage colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than their counterparts further south. These populations possibly are separate subspecies, but this is disputed. Koalas typically inhabit open eucalypt woodlands, and the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet."

The reason the koala is called a koala bear is because the koala looks like a teddy bear. The koala's scientific name is Phasclarctos Cinereus. Now there are only 2,000 to 8,000 koalas in the wild! Although not officially classified as endangered, the population of Australian koalas has dropped by 90% in less than a decade. This is due to the destruction of the koala's natural habitat, a narrow crescent on the eastern coast of Australia.

I don't suppose they have actually been in contact with a very irrate Koala. NORMALLY, they would be up in the trees munching away or sleeping which is what they do most of the time, but one time, my brother was out with his mates and had set up camp. They had gone fishing for a while and when they came back they saw a Koala at the base of a tree, right next to their tent. This Koala, obviously feeling threatened, started chasing after my brothers mate, and boy can they run fast!! As it was running, it was grunting and growling. My brother's mate had never been so scared in his life and that Koala chased him a fair way before giving up."

But they are not a bear they are a mammal ( meaning they feed their young on Milk) and are a Marsupial (meaning they carry their developing young mostly in a pouch) The name koala, comes from the Aboriginal saying that means \"\"no drink\"\". The Koala obtains enough moisture from the eucalypt leaves that it lives on LOCATION Because of the reliance on its one food source Koalas are found where there are suitable Eucalypt forests (Gum trees) and woodlands which is along Australia's East coast and inland of the mountain range known as the \"\"Great Dividing Range\"\" (see map) ACTIVITY The Koala prefers to move around neither in daylight or night, but rather just after sunset. Usually daytimes are spent asleep in the fork of a tree, as 80% of its time is spent sleeping For a couple of hours after sunset it will move around quiet a bit feeding and can often be heard \"\"barking\"\" aggressively at other koalas. It does though at times feed at night and during the day. Koalas are solitary animals having its own specific home range. DESCRIPTION \"\"A picture paints a thousand words\"\" Koalas are usually ash grey with a white chest and the males are larger than females Thick fur, fluffy ears and a broad flat nose give them their \"\"cuddly\"\" appearance They have strong limbs and large hands to help with climbing trees. Surprisingly they have a short stumpy tail which is of no assistance to them in climbing at all. There are 2 sub Species (South & North)with the Southern Koalas up to 1/3 larger than the northern variety FEEDING As already mentioned the koala survives almost exclusively on Eucalypt leaves Not just any type of Eucalypt as their choice changes with seasons, local conditions and personal preferences. It is thought there is about 12 species of Eucalypt leaves that a koala can feed on Eucalypt foliage though high in fiber is very \"\"bitter\"\" and contains many toxins harmful to most lifeforms Koalas have a longer caecum (part of the intestine) which allows more time for bacteria to break down the otherwise indigestible eucalypti fiber BREEDINGMating occurs normally between October and February (Summer) The baby Joey is born five weeks after conception, blind, hairless and less than an inch long."

Budgerigars, lovebirds, cockatiels, canaries, and finches are susceptible. There have been increasing problems among exhibition budgerigars in the United Kingdom. It is often a “wasting” disease affecting young birds. They will lose weight and die. Unfortunately it is usually diagnosed post-mortem by fecal stain or smears from liver or spleen. Sometimes birds infected with megabacteriosis will show blood in the feces. This is an example of an infection that is best prevented through proper sanitary practices, quarantine, and closed aviaries.

Jac Depczyk/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images Parrots comprise a group of birds that includes 279 different species. They vary in size from small birds that can fit in the palm of your hand to large birds the size of a cat and their lifespans are just as variable. Pet birds can live quite a long time. Potential owners need to be aware of the longevity of their bird so that they can be prepared to provide proper care for them for as long as they live (and be prepared in case their bird outlives them). As a general rule, the larger the bird, the longer the expected life span is. Listed below are some estimated life spans for common parrots and other pet birds (life spans of wild birds can be drastically different than pet birds). These are of course based on a healthy bird kept under ideal conditions. In reality, there is a wide range in the age that pet birds might reach and certainly some will live longer (or shorter amounts of time) than the ages listed below."

It is important to understand the most commonly encountered diseases and conditions of these popular little birds, in order to be able to properly diagnose and treat them. I think that sometimes veterinarians underestimate the attachment that owners have to these little, personable birds that often become members of the family. We should provide them the same diagnostics and level of care that we would the owner of a macaw or an Amazon parrot. To many budgie and cockatiel owners, their birds are true members of the family and they are willing to have any necessary diagnostics performed, and have any required treatments administered. Do not compromise the quality of care offered to the smaller birds. The budgerigar, Melopsittacus undulatus, is a fascinating little psittacine with well-deserved popularity due to its small size and big personality. Budgies are also commonly referred to as parakeets, and while they are members of the parakeet group, to prevent confusion, it is probably best to refer to them as budgies. ( Other types of parakeets include the Quaker or monk parakeet, the ringneck parakeet and the Alexandrine parakeet, to name a few). The budgie is the best known of all parrots, and has found its way to virtually every country in the world."

"text": "Print full article The Latest on Proventricular Dilatation Disease Where do we stand on PDD in 2015? February 6, 2015Gina Cioli/I-5 Studios By Natalie Voss Researchers are making progress in the fight to track and treat one of the most common illnesses affecting exotic birds. Proventricular Dilatation Disease, or PDD, is the result of an avian bornavirus infection and is characterized by intestinal paralysis, which results in food becoming stuck in the bird’s proventriculus. The intestine swells, causing discomfort, and when the gut cannot absorb nutrients from the stalled food, the bird dies. Interestingly, not all birds with PDD show these symptoms, and some can live years after exposure to the virus—as many as six or seven—before developing the illness. PDD was once called Macaw Wasting Disease, as it was originally thought just to impact macaws, but we now know it can be found in parrots, finches, lovebirds, quaker parakeets, and cockatiels, as well as wild water fowl such as geese and mute swans. Scientists have made some headway in their quest to better understand the disease in the past three years. Dr. Ian Tizard, DVM, Ph. D, and director of the Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center at Texas A&M University, has made PDD a career-long focus. Recent progress has provided something of a good news/bad news situation, according to Tizard."

What temperature is too cold for a parrot to be in 24/7? Parrots can be pretty resistant actually. If you get them slowly used to being in some slightly colder temperatures, they can adapt fairly well. Of course, I'm not talking about being below freezing point without shelter. I never liked it too hot in my house, same with my parents, and we normally keep the heating at around 21 degrees Celsius. It's comfortable enough for my boyfriend and I to be in t-shirts, I assume it's fine for the birds. I've seen people with outside aviaries where the birds live permanently and the temperature outside goes lower than 21 degrees Celsius (this is obviously not in Canada..). Those birds are getting used to the drop of temperature slowly do fine during the winter. I've seen a few videos of people that take their parrots outside when there is still snow on the ground, I'm sure it's not as cold as -45c but it must still be cold out for the snow to be on the ground!"

"text": "\"Zoonotic diseases are diseases that are transmissable from animals to humans. Young children, elderly adults and individuals with poorly functioning immune systems are at the greatest risk of being infected by a zoonotic disease. While there are a number of diseases which can be transmitted by companion birds, many are more likely to be transmitted by poultry or wild birds. If your bird has been examined by an avian veterinarian and is considered healthy, the risks of infection are significantly reduced. The following diseases in birds which are of reasonable significance include: Chlamydiosis (Psittacosis), Salmonellosis, Campylobacteriosis, New Castles Disease, Allergic Alveolitus, Mycobacteriosis (tuberculosis), Influenza, Giardia, and Cryptosporidiosis. Chlamydiosis (Psittacosis or Parrot Fever) and Salmonellosis were discussed in Zoonotic Diseases - Part I. Allergic Alveolitus, Campylobacteriosis and New Castles Disease were addresssed in Zoonotic Diseases - Part II and Avian Tuberculosis was described in Zoonotic Diseases - Part III. Part IV addresses Giardia and Avian Influenza. Giardia Giardia is an intestinal protozoan that is found in the small intestine of infected birds, dogs, cats, humans and other mammals. The motile form, the trophozoite, attaches to the villi (fingerlike projections) of the small intestine by means of a sucking disk. The cyst form is passed in the feces (as well as the trophozoite) and is able to survivie in the environment."

I am candling using a small flashlight (Maglite is good). When using just a flashlight I find smaller ones are better as the larger ones will blur and not give you a good inside view of the egg. Next I \"\"cradle\"\" the egg gently between my thumb and index finger, making a ring so the egg is secure. Then I hold the flashlight under the egg and you get a pretty good view of the inside. I posted video of another method of candling using a homemade \"\"candling box\"\". This method can be a little tricky and must be done with care especially if doing it by yourself. What I like about using a candling box is you get a sharper all-over glow through the entire egg and you can see more detail, movement etc. I also posted candling videos showing one week prior to this to show the growth progression.

There is a significant difference among the ages of multiple parrots; besides, the age is largely determined by the size of the parrot. The larger the size is, the longer the expected lifespan of the parrot. Since these birds are mostly kept under captivity they are generally expected to live a longer life as compared to other wild birds. Parrots are considered to be one of the most intelligent birds. These birds are generally found in the tropical and subtropical regions including Australia, Southeast Asia, South America, Philippines, New Guinea, Mexico, Europe and Bahamas.

Do you want to hand-fed them or would you let the parents do all the raising. Set limitations for breeding Lovebirds. Think of how many would you want to keep. Think if you would want to cross breed to have color mutations. It’s better to start small than go way out of your head and lost control of the size of the population.

Raspberry plants spread by suckers. This means raspberries like to grow and will spread out far and wide if you let them. But large, unpruned raspberry bushes won't yield more berries and can lead to problems and even early die out of the raspberry bushes. Pruning raspberry plants does more than just keep your plants under control. Raspberries can be prone to disease and pruning inhibits the spread of disease throughout your patch. To ensure that light and air can get inside the plants and to facilitate pruning, keep your raspberry plants controlled in a row. Keep the base of the bushes within a 12 to 18-inch footprint by pruning out any suckers that poke up outside the 12 to 18-inch footprint. Don't worry, the bushes will be much larger on top.

"text": "\"May 14, 2002The Color of Nutrition: Fruits and Vegetables By JANE E. BRODYNaum Kazhdan/The New York Times Most diners would do well to increase their consumption of richly colored fruits and vegetables, which are naturally low in fat and contain fiber and natural chemicals than can help protect against disease. Colorize your diet. That is the latest advice from nutrition experts who have studied the health-promoting properties of the vast spectrum of colorful fruits and vegetables now available throughout the country. Two recently published books — \"\"What Color Is Your Diet?\"\" ( Regan Books, $25), by Dr. David Heber, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California at Los Angeles, with Susan Bowerman, a dietitian, and \"\"The Color Code\"\" (Hyperion, $22.95) by Dr. James A. Joseph, Dr. Daniel A. Nadeau and Anne Underwood — emphasize the importance of increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, and the need to choose broadly among the richly colored options. This is not hard to do, and the payoff in terms of health — and weight — can be considerable. Nearly all fruits and vegetables are naturally very low in fat, replete with filling fiber and loaded with natural chemicals that can help protect against heart disease, cancer and age-related cognitive decline, cataracts and macular degeneration. To me there is nothing more beautiful and tempting in a modern market than the expansive array of colorful produce, their vivid skins all the more enticing because of their health-promoting benefits. And even the paler members of this community — garlic, onions, leeks, cabbage, celery and the like — have notable health-promoting virtues. Fruits and vegetables come closer than any other category of food to behaving like a fountain of youth."

"text": "Related Articles Spray Program for Peach Trees How to Identify Peach Tree Problems How to Identify Peach Tree Disease Why Are My Peaches Dying Before They Get Ripe? Although growing peaches (Prunus persica) is a rewarding venture, they're susceptible to mold growth that, if neglected, can affect fruit development, tree growth and ultimately your success. Peaches are hardy to U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 9, and identifying the cause of the mold, which might be from a fungal disease or insect infestation, should be your first step to eliminating the problem. Brown Rot If your peaches have small, round, powdery tan spots that gradually seem to spread and get larger and turn black, you might be dealing with brown rot. This common stonefruit disease, which starts at bloom and often affects fruit that's stuck together in clusters, is triggered by the fungus Monilinia fructicola. This fungus overwinters in the yard in uncollected infected fruit and stems, and as soon as the temperature reaches 40 degrees Fahrenheit, spores develop that are spread by wind and rain to healthy tissue. Prevention and treatment of brown rot can include removal of infected fruit and fungicide use before the infection occurs. Sooty Mold When scales, aphids, and other sucking insects feed on your peaches, they secrete a sticky liquid known as honeydew. Sooty mold, a name given to several species of fungi, can develop on honeydew and is visible as a threadlike, dark layer that covers the affected plant parts, including the leaves and fruit. Although the peaches are still edible after removal of the soot with soap and water, sooty mold can affect the aesthetic appeal of your tree and in severe cases it can inhibit sunlight penetration, which can affect tree growth."

"text": "This Dietary Habit Could Make Antioxidants ‘Nearly Useless’Don't Make This Mistakehealth By Barbara Minton Posted On January 25, 2015Current thinking suggests that antioxidants are the key to slowing the aging process and keeping degenerative disease at bay. Some antioxidants are made in the body, and eating a plant based diet provides many more of them to keep people looking and feeling young and healthy. But research is suggesting that there is a caveat to all this – that antioxidants from food lose their power when eaten with milk protein. Antioxidants are molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals that in turn start chain reactions in the body that can damage or kill at the cellular level and lead to aging and disease. Antioxidants are known to stop these chain reactions. Think of oxidation as being bare metal left out in the rain, and antioxidants as barriers between the metal and water. Phenols and polyphenols are a range of active compounds found in plants that provide antioxidant benefits. Several research studies have documented the affect milk protein has on antioxidants. In a study recently published, researchers added a strawberry preparation to yogurt and found this produced an immediate decrease in total antioxidant activity of 23%."

"text": "Best product for Peach Tree Borers Beneficial Nematodes These tiny, worm-like parasites hunt and destroy over 230 different pests.$37.95$29.95Read more The peach tree borer ( Synanthedon exitiosa) does damage to a variety of stone fruit trees. It attacks not the fruit, but the tree itself, burrowing into its trunk near or beneath ground level and devouring its way into the living cambium layer underneath. Heavy infestations, recognizable from the circle of oozing frass (the larvae’s excreted waste) around the trunk, can completely girdle trees, killing them if left untreated. Young trees are especially vulnerable. Older trees that survive attacks will show less vigor and inferior fruit quality. Borers are historically found across the United States and in parts of Canada, almost anywhere stone fruits grow. They existed on wild cherry and plum trees before non-native apricots, nectarines and peaches were introduced. Today, they’re a common and persistent threat to both commercial and home orchardists. The larvae of peachtree borers are white to beige and brown and obtain an length of an inch or more. The chewing end of the larvae darkens as it matures."

A clinically important XELODA-Warfarin drug interaction was demons trated in a clinical pharmacology trial [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and DRUG INTERACTIONS ]. Altered coagulation parameters and/or bleeding, including death, have been reported in patients taking XELODA concomitantly with coumarin-derivative anticoagulants such as warfarin and phenprocoumon. Postmarketing reports have shown clinically significant increases in prothrombin time (PT) and INR in patients who were stabilized on anticoagulants at the time XELODA was introduced. These events occurred within several days and up to several months after initiating XELODA therapy and, in a few cases, within 1 month after stopping XELODA. These events occurred in patients with and without liver metastases. Age greater than 60 and a diagnosis of cancer independently predispose patients to an increased risk of coagulopathy. DESCRIPTIONXELODA (capecitabine) is a fluoropyrimidine carbamate with antineoplastic activity. It is an orally administered systemic prodrug of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) which is converted to 5- fluorouracil.

"text": "\"Submitted by naipictuasdharwad on Fri, 09/04/2010 - 18:45Posted in English Environmental Impact Allelopathy Introduction: Allelopathy is a process by which a plant releases chemicals that can either inhibit or competitors. Allelopathic plants do sometimes pose obstacles that are hard to overcome, however. Soil sickness, a general term for a problem that may well be caused by residues of allelochemicals that persist in the soil after the plant is gone, may make some sites unsuitable for growing other plants. Allelopaths are plants that have an advanced weapon in their arsenal. The allelopathic plant competes with other species through \"\"chemical warfare\"\" by releasing chemicals that inhibit the growth of its neighboring plants. History Theophrastus (ca. 300 B. C. E.), a student and successor to Aristotle, wrote about allelopathic reactions in his botanical works. He has been called the \"\"father of Botany\"\", and wrote of how chickpea \"\"exhausts\"\" the soil and destroys weeds. In 1 C. E., Gaius Plinius Secundus, also known as Pliny the Elder, a roman scholar and aturalist, wrote about how chick pea and barley \"\"scorch up\"\" corn land. He also mentioned that Walnut trees are toxic to other plants."

While there are certain foods those with a thyroid condition should consume, in this article I’m going to discuss certain thyroid-inhibiting foods you should try to avoid. These thyroid-inhibiting foods are also known as goitrogens, and I’m going to discuss the negative impact they can have on your health, and list some of the common foods which you will want to minimize your consumption of, and in some cases, completely avoid. This is especially true if you have a hypothyroid condition, but even if you have hyperthyroidism you still want to minimize the consumption of these foods. Here are some examples of goitrogens:• Broccoli • Cauliflower • Kale • Brussels Sprouts • Mustard Greens • Radishes • Spinach • Strawberries • Peaches • Soy-Based Foods • Peanuts You’ll notice that some of these goitrogenic foods are considered to be healthy foods, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc. Because of this, it’s probably important to mention that those people who don’t have a thyroid condition shouldn’t have a problem eating these vegetables. In other words, eating cruciferous vegetables will most likely not lead to the development of a thyroid condition. On the other hand, for someone who has a thyroid condition, especially hypothyroidism, consuming goitrogens can actually worsen your condition. So does this mean that someone with a hypothyroid condition should completely avoid these goitrogenic foods? Well, for those who choose to manage their symptoms by taking synthetic or natural thyroid hormone, then eating these foods in moderation probably isn’t a big deal."

It is believed that in the northeastern United States the early English and French settlers brought peach seeds with them. Until the early 1900s, most peach varieties developed from chance seedlings. One cultivar, Chinese Cling, is the ancestor of Elberta; from Elberta, many of our first commercial varieties were developed. Some of the peach cultivars selected between 1850 and 1900 are still grown commercially. These include J. H. Hale and Belle of Georgia.

Three of these diseases that may be transmitted are rabies, Raccoon roundworm, and Leptospirosis. One disease that a Raccoon may carry are Rabies. Rabies is a disease that is caused by a virus and it is almost always fatal. It is spread through an infected animal’s bite. This disease, rabies, infects the central nervous system, or CNS, eventually causing brain disease and then death. Now the symptoms of rabies are like the symptoms of other illnesses, like headaches, fever, or just discomfort or weakness. Another disease transmitted by the Raccoon is the Raccoon roundworm. Now the roundworm is a parasite and can be found inside of a Raccoon’s intestine."

García Raccoons, the scourge of suburbs across North America, are now wreaking havoc overseas. The furry creatures were introduced to Europe as exotic pets and have exploded in population since the 1970s. Now considered an invasive species, the raccoon threatens to sweep the continent with infectious and parasitic diseases like rabies, researchers warn. \"\" Due to its rapid expansion and the long list of illnesses that it may carry, it poses a health risk that we must bear in mind,\"\" researcher Beatriz Beltrán-Beck, said in a statement from the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). Beltrán-Beck led a study on the raccoon invasion, which was published in the European Journal of Wildlife Research. Rabies has been eliminated in most of Western Europe but researchers like Beltrán-Beck warn that raccoons could spread the deadly disease in eastern parts of the continent. Over the last several years, 142 cases of rabies in raccoons have been reported in Europe, mostly in Ukraine, Estonia, Germany and Lithuania, according to FECYT. Raccoons sometimes host the nematode Baylisascaris procyonis, which, in humans, can cause an infection that doesn't become apparent until the worm's larvae move into a victim's eyes or central nervous system, causing blindness, neurological damage or death. There have been few cases of the illness reported in humans, but researchers with FECYT said it is emerging and on the rise in Europe."

A general lack of predators combined with easy to access food sources such as garbage cans, compost bins, gardens and outdoor pet food bowls have allowed raccoons to proliferate even in the most developed of areas. Raccoons often occur in urban habitats at much higher densities than they do under more natural circumstances. Raccoons are primarily nocturnal animals but can be seen at any time of day. Adult raccoons in the Pacific Northwest typically range in weight between 10 and 25 pounds but can get larger. They are omnivorous and consume a highly varied diet that includes fruit and vegetables, insects, small rodents, fish and human handouts, as well as pet food and garbage when available. Raccoons typically den above ground in tree cavities and under downed logs, but will substitute chimneys, attics and crawlspaces where available. Breeding season in the Pacific Northwest extends from early March through early fall. Litters can range from 1-7 kits. Young are weaned at about 2 months of ages but may remain with the mother through the first winter."

A sow (a female raccoon) can give birth from one to seven cubs (baby raccoons), which are gray in color and helpless at birth. Cubs are born blind, and they open their eyes after three to four weeks. Sows often leave their cubs alone for the majority of the day because they are less likely to be found by predators if they are alone. She will, however, carry her young to a new den if the old one is uninhabitable or if the family is being disturbed. Sometimes the sow moves the young even when not disturbed; as cubs become more mobile (around six to eight weeks), she will take her cubs new places as part of their education. The travel and exploration of young often lead to conflicts with people, as they can wander into garages, occupy chimneys, get into trash, or do other things that attract human attention. Cubs begin to eat on their own and nurse less frequently (called \"\"weaning\"\") at about two months (around August in Indiana), but they usually stay with their mother over their first winter. Raccoons are usually active at night (nocturnal). Raccoons will nest in hollow trees (even next to busy streets), underground dens, attics, garages, chimneys, and under porches."

Female raccoons normally give birth in the spring, but may give birth at other times. If chirping sounds are heard in an attic or crawlspace, this may indicate the presence of baby raccoons. Raccoons may leave claw marks along a soffit or fascia when entering a structure. Paw prints on downspouts of gutters can indicate the presence of raccoons. Raccoons may also access rooftops from overhanging vegetation. Raccoons have become extremely comfortable around humans. They will readily feed on pet foods left for domestic animals.

None of the most cost-effective means of getting rid of outdoor raccoons, however, involves killing them. Outdoor raccoons are best controlled and later gotten rid of through a combination of detection, habitat modification, exclusion, frightening, and trapping followed by removal i.e. using humane methods. Detecting Raccoons Not many animals can do as much damage to gardens overnight as raccoons. Entire vegetable crops may be decimated, especially tomatoes as they approach their peak of ripeness and corn on the cob as it reaches its super-sweet milky stage. Raccoons can kill song birds and pet chickens, and they can frighten dogs and cats. They make an unmistakeable rustle when they colonize the attic. Making sure that the pest is a raccoon, however, requires two basic detective skills. Raccoons leave tracks. Their tracks are remarkably similar to a small human hand print."

Their can easily adapt to many habitats which has allowed them to spread into other habitats such as mountainous, coastal wetlands and even urban regions. Due to transfer and deliberate introduction to areas in Europe they have spread across the mainland there and in other areas of the world.

On the other hand, various bears, felines, canines, and hyenas are among the few animals that occasionally attack humans. These large, dangerous carnivores are often the objects of hunters, who kill them for display as trophies. Most luxurious natural furs ( ermine, mink, sable, and otter, among others) come from members of Carnivora, as do many of the animals that attract the largest crowds at circuses and zoos."

"text": "\"Head Tilt in House Rabbits Related Articles: Housing and Care for Critically Ill Rabbitsby Susan A. Brown, DVM September 2006Editor's Note: This article is not meant to help the lay person diagnose and treat head tilt, and any rabbit showing signs of head tilt should be taken to the vet without delay. Head tilt in rabbits is seen with some frequency and can be caused by a variety of diseases. Another common name for head tilt is \"\"wry neck\"\". The correct medical term is vestibular disease (which can include other signs besides a head tilt). Another term that is often used is \"\"torticollis\"\" which means that the neck muscles are contracted and if this occurs, it develops as a consequence of the disease which keeps the head in a tilted position where over time the muscles may contract. This does not occur in all rabbits with vestibular disease, therefore the term \"\"torticollis\"\" is not the best term to use for the cause of the disease because in reality it is a potential consequence of the disease. Rabbits with vestibular disease can have a head position that ranges from a few degrees to 180 degrees off the normal position. They can fall over, circle, have difficulties standing and develop eye injuries because the prominent eye globe (especially of the \"\"down\"\" eye) is prone to trauma. The cardinal signs of true vestibular disease in the rabbit are a persistent head tilt and a loss of balance. In this article I will discuss the causes and treatments of the diseases that can cause head tilt in the rabbit."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes, squirrels do carry some contagious diseases. Best thing to do is not to treat the bite yourself and to go see a doctor. When we used to live in the city and my neighbors son was bitten by a squirrel after he grabbed his tail. We was worried that the squirrel might have rabies. We was assured by the hospital that it was highly unlikely that city squirrels would carry rabies because their not exposed to the animals that usually carry it like they are in the country such as raccoons etc. Back then there was no such thing as West Nile Virus that squirrels can get today from mosquito bites either. What the hospital did do when my neighbors son got bit was to throughly wash and bandage the wound and gave him a tetanus shot just in case.

"text": "Rabies - Raccoons are the one of the most common reservoirs, or vectors, to carry rabies. Only a small percentage will have rabies, often segregated by geography. If ill with the disease, in the contagous state they will display symptoms. Anytime you see odd behavior in an animal, it is a good idea to back away from it. Some of the behavior a rabid raccoon has is confusion, aggressiveness, making strange sounds, moving in an erratic manner in which they often drag a foot and a general ill appearance. A raccoon active during daytime is not a giveaway. Hydrophobia (fear of water) is universal with animals infected with the rabies virus because it is excruciatingly painful for them to swallow. Rabies is caused by the rhabdovirus which, when seen under the microscope has the shape of a bullet. Transmission of this virus usually occurs through a bite of an infected animal. Symptoms Displayed By Rabid Raccoons: - Disoriented or erratic movements - Daytime presence - Seizures - Paralysis - Collapsing - Excessive salivation - Aggression - Hydrophobia - Eating strange non-food things Pets And Rabies - Outdoor pets in the country are more prone to being bitten than indoor pets."

Links to additional information have been provided where appropriate. Hunters should always consult their physician if they are concerned they have been exposed to a disease or are showing symptoms of illness. If there are any concerns that your hunting dog or any other companion animal may have contracted any of these diseases, please contact your veterinarian.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has the following advice on certain health concerns linked to hunting, both in North America and in other areas of the world. This document is by no means intended to discourage people from hunting; instead, it is intended to inform hunters of the risks they face and steps they can take to reduce those risks. Hunters and their dogs can be exposed to infectious diseases not only from infected animals, but also via insect vectors and contaminated soil and water. Diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans, either through direct contact with the animal or a contaminated surface or water, through ingestion of animal products (including meat and milk) or through insect transmission from an animal are called zoonotic (pronounced ZO-oh-NOT-ik or zoo-NOT-ik) diseases. Insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, fleas or mites serve as vectors, capable of transmitting infection from an infected animal to another animal or a person."

Raccoon Geography Raccoons are natively found throughout most of North America. Recently, raccoons have emerged in parts of Europe and Japan. Raccoon Habitat Traditionally, raccoons prefer heavily wooded areas with access to trees, water and abundant vegetation. There, they make their dens in the hollow parts of trees as well as abandoned burrows, traveling up to 18 miles to forage for food. Raccoons are extremely adaptable. They are often found in suburban and urban areas, making their homes in man-made structures like attics, sewers, barns and sheds. In urban areas, raccoons tend to stay closer to their dens with a range of only about 1 mile, depending on their age and sex. Raccoon Diet Raccoons are omnivores with an opportunistic diet; eating almost anything they can get their paws on."

Kern Jr. 2Biology The northern raccoon, Procyon lotor, is the species in North and Central America, and the related crab-eating raccoon, Procyon cancrivorus, occurs from Panama to Argentina. They are in the family Procyonidae along with the coati mundi, kinkajou, ringtail, and olingo. Raccoons are found commonly in every one of the lower 48 states, in much of southern Canada, and throughout Mexico and Central America. Raccoons are very adaptable animals and thrive in all kinds of habitats from the desert southwest to tropical forests and northern hardwoods. Unlike many wildlife species, raccoons do especially well in urban areas. The northern raccoon, Procyon lotor, is known in many parts of the world. This is one animal that most people are well-acquainted with wherever it occurs because of its large size, abundance, ecological success, and often its nuisance behaviors. It is usually just called raccoon or \"\"coon\"\" in English; malpache norteno, malpache boreal, malpachin, osito lavador in Spanish; and guaxinim in Portuguese. In native American languages they are called tzil (Mayan), mapachitli (Aztec), kvtli (Cherokee or Tsalagi), ati:ron (Mohawk), esiban (Algonquin), eehsipana (Miami-Illinois), nahënëm (Lenape Delaware), sawa (Alabama), sawá (Koasati), shaui (Choctaw), shawi' (Chickasaw), and wotko (Muskogee).

The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in) and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb). [ 8] Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates it against cold weather. Three of the raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are themes in the mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks for up to three years. [ 9] The diet of the omnivorous raccoon, which is usually nocturnal, consists of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods, and 27% vertebrates. The original habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, raccoons are now also distributed across mainland Germany, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Caucasia, and Japan."

Magic, on the other hand, claims control over the supernatural. A magician does not ask for, but rather demands a favorable result. A well known example would be the rabbit that pops out of a hat when the magician says the magic phrase. The Ancient Egyptians knew that physical trauma could cause injury, and they knew that snake and scorpion bites could cause serious illness. Although they had no idea how it happened, they also realized that some diseases could spread from one person to another, but they knew nothing about bacteria and viruses and tended to assume that any medical problem they did not fully understand must, at least in part, be caused by malignant demons. If the supernatural causes illness, it is reasonable to use magic to try to get rid of it. A sympathetic god or goddess might be invited to save the patient.

Case Example 1 We will call our first patient Mr. F. He was a 78-year-old man who had been quite fit and active, but over the past two to three months he developed progressively worsening stiffness in his shoulders, in particular, as well as in his hands and hips. He also noticed somewhat diminished energy. He had been prescribed some NSAIDs, which gave him some relief, but he really did not feel back to the way he had been before this process began. On exam, the only thing that we could find was some pain with stiffness on external rotation of his shoulders, but he was able to reach up, behind his head and behind his back, without difficulty. The first-year fellow (which was me, in this case) concluded that he had osteoarthritis of the shoulders, which for whatever reason had gotten a little bit worse, and that he would benefit from physical therapy.

The diseases are spread to humans directly: through contact with mice feces, saliva or urine, mouse bites and mere contact. Mouse diseases, however, can also be spread indirectly: ticks, fleas and mites that have fed, at some point, on the infected mouse and then transmit that infection to humans. Diseases That Mice Can Transmit Hantavirus Hantavirus is a life-threatening disease transmitted by rodents, particularly deer mice. The virus is found in rodent urine and feces, but it does not make the host animal sick. It is believed that humans can become sick if they come in contact with contaminated dust from mice nests or droppings. However, hantavirus is not spread from humans to humans. As of November 1, 2012, there were 10 confirmed cases of hantavirus in Yosemite National Park. Three of the confirmed cases were fatal.

De Noon From the Web MD Archives Aug. 29, 2012 -- Two of four people have died after getting hantavirus infection at Yosemite National Park. About 1,700 people who visited the park from mid-June to mid-August 2012 received scary emails or letters from the National Park Service. The emails and letters warn park visitors they may have been exposed to mice carrying hantavirus -- and to look out for signs that they might have deadly hantavirus disease. That disease -- hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or HPS -- kills nearly 40% of people who get it. What is hantavirus? In the early 1990s, there was an outbreak of a mysterious and deadly disease in the Four Corners area of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. An equally mysterious virus, dubbed Sin Nombre virus, caused the illness. Sin Nombre virus turned out to be a member of the hantavirus family. Although other hantaviruses can cause fatal illness, none is as deadly as the Sin Nombre virus. It causes a disease called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS)."

Typically one to five cases are reported each year and about one out of three people diagnosed with HPS have died.

Hantavirus is a potentially deadly disease caused by a virus carried by rodents. Hantavirus can cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) which causes the lungs to fill with fluid and can cause respiratory failure. The hantavirus was first detected in 1993 in the Four Corners area of the southwestern United States. Since 1993, approximately 400 cases have been reported in the United States. South Dakota has reported a total of 13 cases of HPS since 1993, 69% of which have been East River and 31% West River. Who gets hantavirus infection?"

Peppermint is a great alternative to commercial pesticides, which contain poison. If you have small children in the house or pets, using an herbal remedy is a smart alternative to traps and poison. How to Tell if You Have a Mouse Infestation Mice are small rodents about one inch long, with the typical mouse a brown or brownish-gray color. Mice can squeeze into a home through the smallest crack. Even a hole the size of a dime can admit one or two mice, and that's all you need for an infestation One pair of mice produce up to six litters of babies per year, with an average of five mice per litter. Within a short amount of time, the typical home or apartment can be overrun with these pests. Signs of a Mouse Infestation Often the first thing a homeowner notices that points towards a mouse infestation are holes gnawed or chewed into boxes or bags. If you pull out your loaf of bread, for example, you may notice a hole chewed right through the bag and the edges nibbled off the bread."

Rats and mice can cause significant property damage because they chew or gnaw on building insulation, siding, wallboard and wires. They eat a variety of foods, including food you might have stored in your cupboards or pantry. If you eat food that has been contaminated by rodents, your may get a foodborne illness. In some cases, diseases can be spread if you are bitten by a rodent, or if you are exposed to areas that are contaminated by rodent urine or droppings.

Rodents play a significant role in the transmission of many disease-causing pathogens to humans. In fact, rodents are thought to be responsible for more deaths than all the wars over the last 1,000 years. Parasites Rodents can also carry several parasites and diseases at the same time. Rodents are reservoirs for many diseases including those carried by ectoparasites such as fleas, ticks, lice and mites. Research has shown that rats can harbor multiple infectious parasites at one time. One study found parasites that had rarely or never previously been investigated in wild rats (eg Cryptosporidium, Pasteurella, Listeria, Yersinia, Coxiella and Hantavirus ), showing that the threat to human health is greater than previously thought. Allergens and Asthma An infestation of mice or rats also means the introduction of allergens. A protein found within their urine has been reported to trigger asthma and closely-related allergic conditions in susceptible people. The residue from rodent urine can easily spread all over a home, with the highest concentrations usually in kitchens, and lead to asthma attacks that have the potential of being quite serious."

Sooner or later, you'll probably need to get rid of mice or rats. Fall is prime time for an increase in mice in your house, as they look for winter protection, but mice and rats can move in at any time. While small, mice and rats can cause big problems. They chew on everything, causing property damage and potential fire risks when they gnaw on electrical wiring and build tinder dry nests in dark corners. Rodents can spread disease, on their own, through the parasites they carry (their fleas carried the Black Plague) or through their droppings (such as hantavirus ). How to Tell if You Have Mice in Your House It’s probably more common to see mouse droppings or mouse damage before you see the mice themselves, as they are nocturnal. When I was a kid, the little buggers would drive me crazy at night running around up in the attic. Thankfully we didn’t get rats in the house, but they would sometimes show up in the outbuildings around the farm.

In accordance to the adorable appeal these creatures have, people are quite enthusiastic about keeping these creatures as pets. The term 'marmoset' is used to denote about 25 new world monkey species pertaining to the genera Callithrix, Callibella, Mico and Cebuella. They come in a variety of sizes, from small to mouse-sized. Marmosets are generally about 20 inches in length, have claws instead of nails and feature tactile hair on their wrists. Their brain layout is more of the primitive type and their body temperature usually varies within a range of 4°C in a day. They lack wisdom teeth, however, possess sharp incisors to chew holes in tree trunks (So you know how sharp!). These tiny marmosets or South American monkeys are basically wild animals. However, today marmosets as pets are becoming extremely popular and common. ' You can never get enough of a marmoset' is the phrase that is often heard, however, keeping marmosets as pets is not such a good idea."

"text": "Betsie Van Der Meer/Taxi/Getty Images On cars and other metal objects, a little rust can turn into a lot quickly when affected spots combine into a bigger problem. Gardeners face a similar issue when rust fungus affects plants, and a few speckles run together to form large masses that distort and deform our flower's foliage. Learn how to identify rust, and beat it with treatments and rust-resistant plants. Rust Fungus Identification There are many species of the rust fungus disease, affecting host-specific plants and flowers, but gardeners can recognize this problem by observing the speckled masses that form on the surfaces of leaves. Like the namesake, many of these pustules are rust-colored, but gardeners should also suspect rust if they see dry spots that are brown, orange, purple, red, or yellow. Rust spots are usually tiny, scattered across plant leaves like so many freckles. Affected plants can have dozens of rust spots on each leaf, and it’s possible for a single leaf to have more than a hundred rust spots. Flowers Affected by Rust Fungus Rust disease is legendary in hollyhock flowers, but they aren’t the only potential victims of this fungus. Pay close attention to signs of rust fungus in these flowers during the summer months: Aster Carnation Geranium Iris Lily Pansy Primrose Snapdragon Sunflower Sweet pea Damage Caused by Plant Rust Fungus Flowers with a heavy rust infestation may experience curling or withering of leaves, and the plant can lose its leaves entirely.

By Lauren Markham Bloomberg via Getty Images Harvesting coffee cherries at a plantation on the slopes of the Agua volcano in Guatemala. Dec. 17, 2015. JUMAYTEPEQUE, Guatemala ― Junior Dario “J. R.” Henriquez* started thinking about heading north on the long, hard migrant trail to the United States when the coffee plants started withering. Drought and a pernicious fungus called roya ― coffee rust ― were wreaking havoc on the plantation here, where J. R. worked as a day laborer. An especially debilitating drought had suffocated this part of Guatemala since 2014 and the rust, which proliferates in lower altitudes, higher temperatures and among stressed plants, was spreading across the leaves like an accumulation of stains. Instead of full blooms of coffee berries packed thick on the branches like spangling beads, the plants were paltry and sparse, the leaves wilting on the branches. The manager of the farm where J. R. was working announced he was cutting workers one day in 2015. There was little to do on the dwindling farm. J.

The causes of head lice have nothing to do with cleanliness or personal hygiene. Head-to-head contact is the most common form of transmission, but head lice can also be spread through contact with infested brushes, hats, or towels. What Causes Head Lice? The cause of head lice is an infestation with a parasitic insect known as Pediculus humanus capitis. This parasite is more commonly known as head lice -- so both the condition and the parasite that causes it go by the same name. Understanding Head Lice A head louse (head lice is plural) is a small, wingless insect. It has three pairs of legs located directly behind the head. The legs end in sharp claws that are designed for feeding and allow the louse to hold on tightly to hair or clothing. The head louse is the largest of the three types of lice (the pubic, or crab, louse is the smallest)."

It has three purple heart shaped leaves, which each have three sides, that sit symmetrically to one another at the end of every petiole (or \"\"stem\"\"). Other species are similar in shape, except they tend to have green leaves. The plant is also a little bit magic, because it can revive itself from the dead! Rather than being intrinsically linked with the soil like many other plants, Oxalis is linked to the soil by its tiny bulbs. Forget to water it, temperature drops too low or its living conditions are generally poor, everything above the surface will wilt and die back to take refuge in the bulbs below. As soon as good conditions are restored the plant comes back to life incredibly quickly. This is great for those little accidents where we might forget to water our houseplants for several months at a time. Not so good for those who live in temperate regions of the world where this plant can be viewed as a weed."

Spray with dormant oil in the winter dormant season to kill mite eggs. Monitor the leaves in the summer when the mites are most active. If the infestation is severe, predatory insects such as pirate bugs eat mites. Chemical mite control can also be used if necessary.

The experts warn that it's a mistake to plant Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford', and rightly so: The limbs of these fast-growing trees break too easily in stormy weather. One sees the limbs of too many of these specimens lying on the ground after a good wind to go out and buy one. But there's no need to restrict our reports to the negative. So, in that spirit, let's acknowledge that if we look out the window in a place like New England (U. S.) in early December, we may well be treated to the color afforded by a Bradford pear tree. These trees are still almost fully clothed in their orangey-bronze or reddish autumn leaves in the otherwise drab December landscape. As such, Bradford pear trees often stand as the lone torchbearers of that period in very late autumn after Halloween decorations have come down but before the procrastinators have put out their outdoor Christmas decorations to cheer up passersby. Almost all of the other colorful fall-foliage trees will have exchanged their autumn garb for winter nudity by that time. Can we at least be grateful for the mistake that a neighbor, for example, may have made in planting a Bradford pear tree? While we appreciate the fall color that they furnish, they're better known for their massive white flowering displays in spring."

Di Censo Diet and Nutrition The signs of aging include more than only gray hair and wrinkles but also decreased brain function, memory loss, and an increasing risk for chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis. Healthy aging is also described as living a longer, healthier life, which translates to quality of life. Many studies have substantiated the connection between a healthy diet and prevention of chronic or age-related illnesses. In fact, recent studies suggest that 78% of all chronic degenerative diseases are diet related. Combine this with the fact that 90% of all visits to Physicians offices are stress related and you have a remarkable blue print for enhancing the quality and longevity of your own life – if you implement some simple and consistent changes. The best way to get a defense against aging is to adopt a healthy lifestyle that include regular mild physical activity, corresponding rest, giving smoking up, and a diet full of healthy foods and drinks. Dietary choice is good to detain the beginning of aging and age-related diseases. Besides the sooner you start, the greater the advantage.

Well, maybe just the naked part. And that, my friends, is the horror-survival / post-apocalypse genre. I love MMOs, but recent themeparks and building games have left me wanting something a bit more dangerous but still not a pointless murderfest. For the most part, these games are less about levels and quests and more about finding items to make sure you don't die. Hunger meters, diseases, and limited supplies in a world filled with enemies who loot you certainly feels like a good throwback to classic RPGs mixed with the multiplayer I've been craving since Asheron's Call first hooked me on MMORPGs. But community-wise, these games have seemed more like lobby shooters than MMOs, which for a long time made me hesitate to try them. If you've been finding yourself in the same situation, hopefully my little plunge into this bloody genre will give you some ideas of what to expect.

About 7800 species are known. Rusts can affect a variety of plants; leaves, stems, fruits and seeds. Rust is most commonly seen as coloured powder, composed off tiny aeciospores which land on vegetation producing pustules, or uredia, that form on the lower surfaces. How Does It Spread Infection? T he main cause for Rust is night time temperatures being too cold with a high humidity. Rust fungus produce asexual spores which are spread like wildfire by water, wind or bugs. Pathogenic fungi are biotrophs meaning they take the nutrients they need directly from the plants cell tissue. Once the spores settle on a plant hydrophobic interactions are formed on the plants cell surface through a process that isn't fully understood yet the Rust fungus produces a sticky like substances which attaches the spore to the plant."

Mint Rust Pustules You’ll be able to recognize this mint herb disease, rust fungus (called Puccinia Menthae by the scientific community) on your growing mint because your mint plant will look very unhealthy. On close inspection you’ll find orange pustules on the stems and leaves. As the infection progresses the leaves turn brown and die. What Causes the Mint Rust Herb Disease? Mint is meant to be particularly susceptible to mint rust if it’s grown in the full sun, but in my experience you’re just as likely to get it if your mint is not in full sun. Infected plants will contaminate the soil and will carry the infection through the winter into the following year. How to Eliminate Mint Rust Sadly, there isn’t a good chemical remedy for the herb disease, mint rust – if you want to be able to use your mint after treatment. I haven’t yet come across an organic treatment for this herb disease. If you correctly diagnose that you have mint rust on your growing mint it’s important to act quickly to deal with it because the “spores” which develop with this herb disease drop onto the soil and affect your mint in following year."

These stately beauties belong to the Mallow (Malvaceae) family, which includes an unbelievable 1500 different species out of which 27 genera are found throughout North America. Members of this plant family have a distinctive look, so if you think that Hollyhocks remind you of Hibiscus (like I do), you’re not out of your mind. If you do an Internet search to find out where hollyhocks are hardy, you’ll find a consensus between sources, whether it be SF Gate Home Guides , Burpee Seeds, or Better Homes & Gardens, that hollyhocks are generally hardy between USDA hardiness zones 3 and 8. Let me qualify what I mean when I state they’re “generally hardy” in that hardiness range. Zone 3 encompasses an area at the far northern part of the United States. Winters are pretty extreme up there, and it’s hard to predict how cold temperatures will get in different regions of the country. That being said, I advise anyone who wants to plant hollyhocks in a place where winters are severe, to plant them in a location where they will have protection from polar vortexes. I would also cover the ground with a thick layer of mulch. The alternative is to plant them in containers, which is probably a better option if you live in a zone where permafrost is the norm."

"text": "Rose Rust Disease – Treating Rust On Roses Roses By: Stan V. Griep, American Rose Society Consulting Master Rosarian – Rocky Mountain District Printer Friendly Version Image by Wikimedia Commons By Stan V. Griep American Rose Society Consulting Master Rosarian – Rocky Mountain District Rust fungus, caused by Phragmidium fungus, affects roses. There are actually nine species of the rose rust fungus. Roses and rust are a frustrating combination for rose gardeners because this fungus can not only ruin the look of roses, but, if left untreated, rust spots on roses will eventually kill the plant. Let’s learn more about how to treat rose rust. Symptoms of Rose Rust Disease Rose rust most commonly appears in spring and fall, but can appear in the summer months as well. Rose rust fungus appears as small orange or rust colored spots on the leaves and will grow to bigger markings as the infection advances. The spots on the canes of the rose bush are orange or rust colored but become black in the fall and winter. Rose leaves that are badly infected will fall from the bush. Many rose bushes affected by rose rust will defoliate. Rose rust can also cause the leaves on a rose bush to wilt."

"text": "Hollyhock Rust Treatment: How To Control Hollyhock Rust In Gardens Hollyhock By: Jackie Carroll Printer Friendly Version Image by Gardening Know How, via Nikki Tilley If you’ve ever tried growing hollyhocks in a hot humid climate you’ve probably seen it—leaves with yellow spots on top and reddish-brown pustules on the undersides that indicate hollyhock rust. If so, we have a few things for you to try before you despair of ever growing this lovely cottage flower successfully. Find out how to control hollyhock rust in this article. What is Hollyhock Rust? Caused by the fungus Puccinia heterospora, hollyhock rust is a disfiguring disease that infects members of the Alcea (hollyhock) family. It begins as yellow spots on top of the leaves with rusty pustules on the undersides. Over time the spots can grow together and destroy large sections of the leaves, causing them to die and drop off. At this point, the stems may also develop spots. Although the plant may not die, you may want to put hollyhocks with rust fungus out of their misery because of the severe disfigurement. Does hollyhock rust spread to other plants?"

It is one of the more beautiful cool season lawn grasses. It is known for its excellent color, density and texture. It can be purchased in both seed or sod. Kentucky bluegrass seed is commonly included in seed mixtures with cool season turf grasses. How to Identify K. Bluegrass The easiest method of identifying K. bluegrass is to look for the boat shaped tip. If you look carefully, the tip of the blade folds together to resemble the bow of a boat. If you pull the length of the grass through your fingers, the tip will split, leaving two small points. Only orchardgrass has a similar shaped tip. You can also look for very narrow, upright standing grass blades that come to a point."

Cholera is caused by a type of bacteria known as Vibrio cholerae. One of the ways this type of bacteria can get into food and water is through contaminated feces. What Causes Cholera? The cause of cholera is Vibrio cholerae bacteria. What Is Vibrio Cholerae? There are two general types of Vibrio cholerae: Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O1Vibrio cholerae Serogroup non-O1. Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O1 is the type of Vibrio cholerae that most often leads to cholera. Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O139, a Vibrio cholerae Serogroup non-O1 bacteria, is the other cause of the disease. Vibrio cholerae is native to the Ganges delta, which is in India and extends into Bangladesh."

The length of time that diarrhea will depend on what is causing it. When children with healthy immune systems develop diarrhea that is caused by an infection, the body is usually able to effectively kill the pathogens, and after 1 to 10 days, diarrhea symptoms generally start to improve. Transmission and Prevention The viruses and bacteria that can cause diarrhea in children are highly contagious and can spread easily from person to person. The viruses that cause diarrhea are often found in the stool or vomit of infected people. Transmission can happen in one of several ways, including: Eating foods or drinking liquids that are contaminated with a virus or bacteria that causes diarrhea Having direct contact with another person who is infected and showing symptoms (for example, when caring for someone with the illness, or sharing food or eating utensils with someone who is ill)Touching surfaces or objects contaminated with a virus and putting one's hands in one's mouth. Children can spread diarrhea both before and after they become sick. They can sometimes pass the virus to other members of the family and to close contacts. While it is important that you wash your child's hands (as well as your own), better hygiene and sanitation have not significantly reduced incidents of certain types of diarrhea outbreaks, such as rotavirus disease. A new, recently licensed vaccine ( Rota Teq ®) is the best way to protect your child against rotavirus disease. ("

Mc Carter *+ Author Affiliations Department of Microbiology, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242Next Section ABSTRACTVibrio parahaemolyticus has dual flagellar systems adapted for locomotion under different circumstances. A single, sheathed polar flagellum propels the swimmer cell in liquid environments. Numerous unsheathed lateral flagella move the swarmer cell over surfaces. The polar flagellum is produced continuously, whereas the synthesis of lateral flagella is induced under conditions that impede the function of the polar flagellum, e.g., in viscous environments or on surfaces. Thus, the organism possesses two large gene networks that orchestrate polar and lateral flagellar gene expression and assembly. In addition, the polar flagellum functions as a mechanosensor controlling lateral gene expression. In order to gain insight into the genetic circuitry controlling motility and surface sensing, we have sought to define the polar flagellar gene system. The hierarchy of regulation appears to be different from the polar system of Caulobacter crescentus or the peritrichous system of enteric bacteria but is pertinent to many Vibrio and Pseudomonas species. The gene identity and organization of 60 potential flagellar and chemotaxis genes are described."

Both make the list of the top ten foods responsible for the most outbreaks of foodborne illness since 1990 in the United States. Oysters, okay–but berries? A century ago, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and cholera were the common foodborne diseases. Improvements in food safety (think pasteurization, safe canning, disinfection of water supplies) have conquered those diseases–but a host of other foodborne diseases have stepped up to the plate, so to speak, to take their places. Foodborne disease outbreaks are currently responsible for tens of millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and thousands of deaths every year in the United States. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) published their report of the top ten riskiest foods (FDA Top Ten) overseen by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA is responsible for regulating produce, seafood, egg and dairy products, as well as packaged foods such as cookie dough and peanut butter. The FDA regulates nearly 80 percent of the American food supply. From the CSPI, here they are–followed by precautions from the CDC on how to reduce the risk:1."

Typically found in salt water, Vibrio species are facultative anaerobes that test positive for oxidase and do not form spores. [ 4] All members of the genus are motile and have polar flagella with sheaths. Vibrio species typically possess two chromosome s, which is unusual for bacteria. [ 5] [6] Each chromosome has a distinct and independent origin of replication, [7] and are conserved together over time in the genus. [ 8] Recent phylogenies have been constructed based on a suite of genes (multilocus sequence analysis ). [ 1]O. F. Müller (1773, 1786) described eight species of the genus Vibrio (included in Infusoria ), three of which were spirilliforms. [ 9] Some of the other species are today assigned to eukaryote taxa, e.g., to the euglenoid Peranema or to the diatom Bacillaria. However, Vibrio Müller, 1773 became regarded as the name of a zoological genus, and the name of the bacterial genus became Vibrio Pacini, 1854. [ 10] Filippo Pacini isolated micro-organisms he called \"\"vibrions\"\" from cholera patients in 1854 , because of their motility. ["

"text": "Introduction to the Microbiology of Food The Microorganisms The tiniest life forms are bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses, termed “microorganisms” because of their size (micro meaning small and organism meaning living being). Bacteria Bacteria are the most important microorganisms to the food processor. Most are harmless, many are highly beneficial, some indicate the probable presence of filth, disease organisms, spoilage and a few cause disease. There are thousands of species of bacteria, but all are single-celled and fall into three basic shapes: spherical, straight rods, and spiral rods. To see them, you need a microscope that magnifies about 1000-fold. All bacteria reproduce by dividing into two cells. The two cells then divide to become 4, 4 become 8, and so forth. Under ideal conditions, this doubling may occur as frequently as every 15 minutes, so that within 5 hours there will be more than a million cells from the original single cell. If there are 1000 original cells instead of a single one, there will be over 1 billion cells in 5 hours. Some rod-shaped bacteria are capable of existing in two forms, dormant spores and active vegetative cells."

While the good bacteria assist in digestion and promotes sound health, the bad ones have the capacity to cause severe health concerns. Cleanliness is an essential part of preventing illnesses caused by harmful bacteria. Bad bacteria in the digestive system can lead to food poisoning and illness. Food borne diseases are caused by not just the bad bacteria but also by protozoa, viruses, toxins from natural sources, and several pathogenic agents. Pathogenic bacteria are capable of harming the body by causing diseases. They usually harm the body under certain circumstances. When there are existing wounds or certain health concerns, pathogenic bacteria use this opportunity to replicate and spread. There are different kinds of pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Clostridium botulinum, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio cholerae non-O1, Bacillus cereus, and Shigella spp."

Microbiological hazards cause most foodborne diseases in the United States. The three microbiological hazards of concern are bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These microorganisms can cause one of three types of illness -- infection, intoxication, or toxin-mediated infection. Infection A foodborne disease is when a person eats food containing harmful microorganisms, which then grow in the intestinal tract and cause illness. Some bacteria, all viruses, and all parasites cause foodborne illness via infection. The foodborne bacteria that cause infection are: Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, and Yersinia enterocolitica. The most common viral agents that cause foodborne disease are: Hepatitis A, norovirus, and rotavirus. The most common foodborne parasites are: Trichinella spiralis, Anisakis simplex, Giaria duodenalis, Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Cyclospora cayetanensis."

It is the number one leading cause of sea-food associated bacterial gastroenteritis in the United States. V. parahaemolyticus causes diarrhea upon ingestion. While the overwhelming majority of people acquire the infection by eating raw or undercooked seafood (particularly shellfish and oysters), an open wound exposed to warm seawater can facilitate V. parahaemolyticus infection. Isolation of V. parahaemolyticus is possible from cultures of stool, wound, or blood. Isolation from stool preferably involves a medium that contains thiosulfate, citrate, bile salts, and sucrose (TCBS agar)."

One well‐studied effector protein is Avr Bs3 from Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria, the causal agent of bacterial spot in pepper and tomato. Avr Bs3 induces hypertrophy symptoms in susceptible plants and triggers a resistance gene‐specific cell death reaction in resistant plants. Intriguingly, Avr Bs3 has characteristic features of eukaryotic transcription factors, suggesting that it modulates the host's transcriptome. Here, we discuss the TTS system of X.campestris pv. vesicatoria in the light of current knowledge on type III‐dependent protein secretion in plant pathogenic bacteria. Avr Bs3 hrp genes pathogenicity island PIP box secretion Introduction Plants provide an attractive nutrient reservoir and ecological niche for bacterial pathogens. In most higher plants, bacterial colonization leads to a variety of severe diseases."

The genesis of this article is as a follow-up to a presentation delivered at the 2011 American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) annual convention on the topic of autoimmune disease, which resulted in a substantial amount of inquiry and requests for further exploration of the topics presented. There is simply no doubt that the incidence of autoimmune disorders has been rising sharply over the past several decades in the Western industrialized countries, particularly the US (Figure 1). 1 A broad array of disorders considered immune-dysregulatory and autoimmune in nature, encompassing both those classically categorized as Th1- and Th2-dominant, are included in this phenomenon. The question is, why has there been such a sharp rise in the incidence of these disorders? The answers may very well be found in the current medical research, but you would probably never know it by visiting a doctor. This may be because this situation serves as an example of the giant chasm that often exists between Western medical research, which is often outstanding, and the practice of clinical medicine, which often leaves quite a bit to be desired when it comes to the management of chronic disorders with high morbidity but low mortality.

"text": "Foodborne Disease Alan Taege Published: August 2010Contents Foodborne disease is a pervasive problem caused by consumption of contaminated food and drink. More than 200 pathogens are associated with foodborne disease. An estimated 76 million cases occur annually (one in every four Americans), resulting in 300,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths. 1 Fewer cases are documented because of underreporting. International travel and food importation have further expanded the problem. The onset of foodborne disease is generally acute, with resolution of an uncomplicated illness in 72 hours for most episodes. Proper food handling and preparation, personal hygiene, and improved methods of decontamination of consumer products could significantly reduce the extent of morbidity and mortality of this common problem. Foodborne illness is tracked in the United States through a system called Food Net, a joint effort of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Data are collected annually from ten different monitoring sites throughout the country (representing 15% of the population) and compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only documented cases are used for reporting."

"text": "Bacterial Food Poisoning Al B. Wagner, Jr., Professor and Extension Food Technologist Food borne illness is an ever-present threat that can be prevented with proper care and handling of food products. It is estimated that between 24 and 81 million cases of food borne diarrhea disease occur each year in the United States, costing between $5 billion and $17 billion in medical care and lost productivity. Chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, fungi, viruses and bacteria can cause food borne illness. Bacteria related food poisoning is the most common, but fewer than 20 of the many thousands of different bacteria actually are the culprits. More than 90 percent of the cases of food poisoning each year are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, and Entero-pathogenic Escherichia coli. These bacteria are commonly found on many raw foods. Normally a large number of food-poisoning bacteria must be present to cause illness. Therefore, illness can be prevented by (1) controlling the initial number of bacteria present, (2) preventing the small number from growing, (3) destroying the bacteria by proper cooking and (4) avoiding re-contamination. Poor personal hygiene, improper cleaning of storage and preparation areas and unclean utensils cause contamination of raw and cooked foods. Mishandling of raw and cooked foods allows bacteria to grow."

Many gram-negative plant and animal pathogenic bacteria employ a type III secretion system (T3SS) to subvert and colonize their respective host organisms. The T3SS injects effector proteins directly into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells and thus allows the manipulation of host cellular activities to the benefit of the pathogen. In plant pathogenic bacteria, T3SSs are encoded by hrp (for hypersensitive response and pathogenicity) genes, which are so named because they are required for bacteria to cause disease in susceptible plants and to elicit the hypersensitive response in resistant plants ( Lindgren et al., 1986 ). The hypersensitive response is a rapid local cell death at the infection site that restricts bacterial multiplication and is triggered by individual effector proteins in plants carrying a corresponding resistance gene ( Dangl and Jones, 2001 ). hrp genes were found in almost all major gram-negative bacterial plant pathogens (e.g. Pseudomonas syringae, Xanthomonas spp., Ralstonia solanacearum, and Erwinia spp. ), illustrating a central role of the T3SS in mediating diverse plant-bacteria interactions ( Alfano and Collmer, 2004; He et al.,"

"text": "Protein Export According to Schedule: Architecture, Assembly, and Regulation of Type III Secretion Systems from Plant- and Animal-Pathogenic Bacteria Daniela Büttner+ Author Affiliations Institute of Biology, Genetics Department, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Halle (Saale), Germany+ Navigate This Article Next Section SUMMARYFlagellar and translocation-associated type III secretion (T3S) systems are present in most Gram-negative plant- and animal-pathogenic bacteria and are often essential for bacterial motility or pathogenicity. The architectures of the complex membrane-spanning secretion apparatuses of both systems are similar, but they are associated with different extracellular appendages, including the flagellar hook and filament or the needle/pilus structures of translocation-associated T3S systems. The needle/pilus is connected to a bacterial translocon that is inserted into the host plasma membrane and mediates the transkingdom transport of bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic cells. During the last 3 to 5 years, significant progress has been made in the characterization of membrane-associated core components and extracellular structures of T3S systems. Furthermore, transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulators that control T3S gene expression and substrate specificity have been described. Given the architecture of the T3S system, it is assumed that extracellular components of the secretion apparatus are secreted prior to effector proteins, suggesting that there is a hierarchy in T3S. The aim of this review is to summarize our current knowledge of T3S system components and associated control proteins from both plant- and animal-pathogenic bacteria. Previous Section Next Section INTRODUCTIONHigher eukaryotes such as plants, animals, and humans are permanently exposed to the risk of bacterial infections, which often lead to severe and even lethal diseases. Major infectious agents are Gram-negative bacteria, which utilize at least six different protein secretion systems (type I to type VI secretion systems) to transport bacterial virulence factors into the surrounding milieu or directly into the host cell. Protein secretion systems from Gram-negative bacteria differ significantly in structure, regulation, and substrate specificity and are summarized in recent review articles ( 198, 215, 218, 247, 253, 258, 453, 582 ). Similar systems are employed by Gram-positive bacteria, but they also contain an additional type of protein secretion system, designated type VII, that was identified in mycobacteria ( 558 )."

Whether or not a person consciously thinks about food safety before eating a meal, a host of other people have thought about the safety of that food, from farmers to scientists to company presidents to federal government officials and public health officials. Ensuring the safety of food is a shared responsibility among producers, industry, government, and consumers. Safe food is food that is free not only from toxins, pesticides, and chemical and physical contaminants, but also from microbiological pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can cause illness. Those working in the field of food safety are most concerned about microbial foodborne illness, a widespread but often unrecognized sickness that affects most people at one time or another. At least four factors are necessary for foodborne illness to occur: (1) a pathogen; (2) a food vehicle; (3) conditions that allow the pathogen to survive, reproduce, or produce a toxin; and (4) a susceptible person who ingests enough of the pathogen or its toxin to cause illness. The symptoms often are similar to those associated with the flu — nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, headache. Most people have experienced foodborne illness, even though they might not recognize it as such, instead blaming it on the stomach flu or a twenty-four-hour bug. Usually symptoms disappear within a few days, but in some cases there can be more long-lasting effects such as joint inflammation or kidney failure."

"text": "Food Poisoning From Eating Porkby IAN ANGLIN Aug. 14, 2017Food poisoning from eating undercooked pork often comes from meat that was already infected with parasitic organisms or contaminated with bacteria during slaughter, processing or preparation. Food poisoning from pork can cause severe illness, although symptoms vary depending on the contaminating germs, the amount of contaminant ingested and the individual's age and overall health. Proper food handling and cooking can substantially reduce the risk for food poisoning from pork. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Bacterial Causes Bacterial contamination of pork can occur during production, harvesting, processing, storing, shipping or preparation. Bacteria commonly associated with pork food poisoning include Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica. Campylobacter is one of most common causes of diarrhea in the U. S. Other symptoms of Campylobacter food poisoning include nausea and vomiting. Yersinia enterocolitica is of special interest as it is a bacterium found in pig intestines and can cause yersiniosis in humans, typified by diarrhea and abdominal pain. Pig intestines, or chitterlings, are a common source of this type of food poisoning. Parasitic Causes Trichinellosis can be contracted by eating raw or undercooked pork infected with the parasite Trichinella spiralis. Disease symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and weakness."

"text": "Overview Mesenteric adenitis is a condition that more often affects children and teenagers. It causes inflammation and swelling in the lymph nodes inside the abdomen. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs that contain white blood cells called lymphocytes. They are part of your body’s lymphatic system. Lymph nodes play an important role in the immune system. They filter out bacteria and other germs from the lymph fluid so your body can remove these harmful substances. Mesenteric adenitis affects lymph nodes in tissue called mesentery. This tissue connects the intestines to the abdominal wall. Another name for mesenteric adenitis is mesenteric lymphadenitis. Symptoms Symptoms Symptoms of mesenteric adenitis can include:pain in the lower right part of the abdomen, or in other parts of the bellyfevernausea and vomitingdiarrheageneral sick feeling, called malaiseweight loss These symptoms may appear after your child has a cold or other respiratory infection."

"text": "\"Monograph Tables What's New Reviews History MICROBIOLOGYActinomycosis is an uncommon, indolent, progressively invasive bacterial infection caused by organisms of the Actinomyces species, which are non-motile, filamentous, branching, gram-positive and predominantly anaerobic bacteria. These organisms belong to the phylum, Actinobacteria, in the order Actinomycetales, and family, Actinomycetaceae. They are related to other genera like Corynebacterium, Propionobacterium, Mycobacteriium and Nocardia. More than thirty species of Actinomyces have been described thus far, at least half of which are pathogenic to humans ( r94 ). The most common agents in this disease are A. israelii and A. gerencseriae, but at least four other Actinomyces species ( A. naeslundii, A. viscosus, A. odontolyticus, and A. meyeri ), Propionibacterium propionicum (formerly Arachnia propionica ), and Bifidobacterium dentium (formerly Actinomyces eriksonii) may also be responsible for similar or identical clinical symptoms. Furthermore, eight new Actinobacillus species ( A. europaeus, A. funkei, A. graevenitzii, A. neuii, A. radicidentis, A. radingae, A. turicensis, and A.urogenitalis) ( 13, 22, 23, 44, 59, 64, 100) as well as the related taxon Actinobaculum schaalii ( 43) have recently been described that were all derived from clinically less specific inflammatory conditions, and two former Actinomyces species ( A. bernardiae and A. pyogenes) have been placed in the genus Arcanobacterium ( 72 ). Actinomyces bovis causes granulomatous infections in cattle; however, this species has never been proven as a human pathogen and earlier reports of human A. bovis infections most probably were due to A. israelii ( 5, 47 ). Ten additional Actinobacillus species have as yet solely been isolated from animal sources. Members of the genera Actinomyces, Actinobaculum, Propionibacterium, and Bifidobacterium are morphologically similar, anaerobic to less stringently anaerobic (provided by Fortner's method) ( 22) to capnophilic or aerotolerant (facultatively anaerobic), nonsporulating, gram-positive bacteria that tend to form branching rods and filaments and have a fermentative type of carbohydrate metabolism. Filamentous, microscopic colonies of Actinomyces species can be detected within 2 to 4 days of anaerobic incubation at 36 ± 1 °C."

Sinus tracts may form after an infection or as a means of decompression of a synovial joint in rheumatoid arthritis or classic fistulous rheumatism. In septic arthritis, MR imaging may reveal abnormalities such as fluid-filled channels, sinus tracts and fistulae. Sinography represent a diagnostic imaging method involving opacification of a sinus tract, which may provide information that influences the choice of therapy. Concomitant CT scanning may lead to better delineation of the sinus tract. Sinography in association with fluoroscopy is also employed in evaluation of pressure sores when extent of bone infection is uncertain -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-07 09:57:30 (GMT) --------------------------------------------------. A sinus tract is an abnormal channel that originates or ends in one opening. An orofacial fistula is a pathologic communication between the cutaneous surface of the face and the oral cavity. In the literature, the terms fistulas and sinuses are often used interchangeably. Stedman’s Medical Dictionary defines a sinus as a fistula or tract leading to a suppurating cavity."

"text": "Pneumonia, inflammation and consolidation of the lung tissue as a result of infection, inhalation of foreign particles, or irradiation. Many organisms, including viruses and fungi, can cause pneumonia, but the most common causes are bacteria, in particular species of Streptococcus and Mycoplasma. Although viral pneumonia does occur, virus es more commonly play a part in weakening the lung, thus inviting secondary pneumonia caused by bacteria. Fungal pneumonia can develop very rapidly and may be fatal, but it usually occurs in hospitalized persons who, because of impaired immunity, have reduced resistance to infection. Contaminated dusts, when inhaled by previously healthy individuals, can sometimes cause fungal lung diseases. Pneumonia can also occur as a hypersensitivity, or allergic response, to agents such as mold, humidifiers, and animal excreta or to chemical or physical injury (e.g., smoke inhalation). Bacterial pneumonia Streptococcal pneumonia, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, is the single most common form of pneumonia, especially in hospitalized patients. The bacteria may live in the bodies of healthy persons and cause disease only after resistance has been lowered by other illness or infection. Viral infections such as the common cold promote streptococcal pneumonia by causing excessive secretion of fluids in the respiratory tract. These fluids provide an environment in which the bacteria flourish."

Infectionmost often occurs in the face and neck region and is characterized by the presence of a slowlyenlarging, hard, red lump. Description Actinomycosis is a relatively rare infection occurring in one out of 300,000 (1/300,000) people peryear. It is characterized by the presence of a lump or mass that often forms, draining sinustracts to the skin surface. Fifty percent of actinomycosis cases are of the head and neck region (also called \"\"lumpy jaw\"\" and \"\"cervicofacial actinomycosis\"\"), 15% are in the chest, 20% are in theabdomen, and the rest are in the pelvis, heart, and brain. Men are three times more likely to develop actinomycosis than women. Causes and symptoms Actinomycosis is usually caused by the bacterium Actinomyces israelii. This bacterium is normally present in the mouth but can cause disease if it enters tissues following an injury. Actinomyces israelii is an anaerobic bacterium which means it dislikes oxygen but grows verywell in deep tissues where oxygen levels are low."

Over the past 40 years, scientists have been arduously working to discover the over 500 different species of bacteria in and around the mouth known today. The mouth is comprised of an oral cavity, which includes the teeth and gums, surrounded by the lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and throat. Each of these habitats offers differing environmental conditions, and as such, is colonized by a different microbial flora. The oral environment is constantly in flux. From birth to around age 12, when the permanent dentition is complete, the local oral conditions are continuously changing as teeth are shed and new ones erupt [A1]. In addition, environmental factors such as, nutrition, diet, hygiene, smoking, dehydration, and even stress, alter the ecological conditions of mouth. Saliva covers all surfaces and serves various important functions, mechanical and nutritional, (digestive, swallowing, cleansing, lubricative, bactericidal, and excretory) in the oral cavity. It is comprised of various proteins and glycoprotein, of which the main constituents include salivary mucins (approximately 25% of saliva), amylase, Ig A, and lysozyme. The typical resting p H (6.5-6.9) is slightly more acidic than stimulating p H (7.0-7.5), but often varies depending on the secretion rate. ["

This intracellular parasite is a blood borne pathogen that causes premature abortion of a cattle fetus. What makes this bacterium so dangerous is that it is zoonotic, meaning it can be transferred from an animal to a human host and still remain pathogenic (3). In humans this disease cause both acute and chronic symptoms, but can be treated with antibiotics. Because of this economic effect on the cattle business and the disease potential in humans, the US has spent close to $3.5 billion trying to vaccinate the cattle herds in the US (6). It is possible for B. abortus to be spread from wild populations of elk and bison into domestic cattle herds and this is why the US government continues to be vigilant in tracking potential cases within herds (10). Genome structure The B. abortus genome contains 2 circular DNA chromosomes. The first chromosome is 2,124,241 nucleotides long and codes for 2200 genes."

BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle; its symptoms are similar to a disease of sheep, called scrapie. BSE has been called \"\"mad cow disease.\"\" BSE and scrapie both result from infection with a very unusual infectious agent. As of January 2004, more than 180,000 cases of BSE were confirmed in Great Britain in more than 35,000 herds of cattle. The epidemic peaked in January 1993 at almost 1,000 new cases per week. Although the origin of the disease is uncertain it may have resulted from the feeding of scrapie containing meat and bone meal (MBM) to cattle or from feeding cattle MBM derived from a cow or other animal that developed the disease due to a spontaneous mutation. There is strong evidence and general agreement that the outbreak was amplified by feeding meat-and-bone meal prepared from cattle to young calves. What causes BSE?

Draxxin is used to treat the following diseases if they are caused by bacteria that are sensitive to tulathromycin:bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle caused by Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni or Mycoplasma bovis,infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in cattle, an eye disease caused by Moraxella bovis,swine respiratory disease (SRD) in pigs caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae or Haemophilus parasuis. DRAXXIN can also be used to prevent BRD and SRD. The medicine should only be used for prevention in cattle and pigs once the presence of the disease in the herd has been established, and for pigs if they are expected to develop the disease within two to three days. Draxxin is given as a single injection of 2.5 mg per kilogram body weight. In cattle, it is injected under the skin, and the dose is divided in cattle weighing over 300 kg so that no more than 7.5 ml are injected at one site. In pigs it is injected into a muscle, and the dose is divided in pigs weighing over 80 kg so that no more than 2 ml are injected at one site."

Pododermatitis is an inflammation that can be caused by many disorders including infections, allergies, hormonal disorders, immune-mediated diseases, tumors or cancers and environmental contaminants. Questions that may be asked in order to determine the cause or causes include the following: What is the general environment in which the dog walks and lives? Is there is seasonality to the clinical signs or do the symptoms last year-round? Are there additional lesions elsewhere on the body? What, if any, has the response to other treatments been? What is the dog's diet? Has the dog traveled anywhere outside its usual environment?"

Obligately anaerobic bacteria do not grow on solid media in room air (0.04% carbon dioxide and 21% oxygen); facultatively anaerobic bacteria can grow in the presence or absence of air. Microaerophilic bacteria do not grow at all aerobically or grow poorly, but grow better under 10% carbon dioxide or anaerobically. Anaerobic bacteria can be divided into strict anaerobes that can not grow in the presence of more than 0.5% oxygen and moderate anaerobic bacteria that are able of growing between 2 and 8% oxygen.

"text": "11 Abnormal Pap Smear Causes You Should Know (especially if HPV Negative)Posted By: admin Many diseases that women suffer from could have been properly managed – if they were detected and diagnosed early with health screening tests that are recommended to undergo regularly. These medical checks are meant to detect traces or symptoms of serious health issues such as cancer or HPV infections, with a Pap Smear test is one of such screening procedures. What is Pap Smear Test and Why It’s Done? A Pap smear, also known as the Papanicolaou test, is a quick and relatively painless test carried out to screen for cancer or precancer symptoms in the cervix. Women are compelled to undergo regular Pap smear tests when they visit the gynecologist. The process of carrying out a Pap smear test involves getting some of the cells in the patients’ cervix, and examining them under a microscope to see if there are any abnormal cells in the sample. The discovery of abnormal cells is an indication that the patient might be prone to suffering from cervical cancer or precancerous indication of cervical dysplasia. The recommended next steps after a Pap smear test will depend on the kind of abnormality and other relevant results discovered in the cells diagnosis: Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS). The features of squamous cells are flat shaped cells which are found in the healthy cervix. Pap smear results that detect ASCUS show irregularities in the features of the squamous cells which do not indicate the presence of precancerous cells."

( 2) In 1915, Dr. Selman A. Waksman, a microbiologist at the Agricultural Department of Rutger’s University, along with an assistant were studying actinomycetes when they isolated from New Jersey soil a strain in which they called Actinomyces griseus. ( 3) Dr. Waksman was studying how certain substances enabled soil microbes to destroy each other and streptomyces, he found was able to survive in the soil even under unfavorable conditions. In 1943, Actinomyces griseus was changed to Streptomycin griseus. That same year, Albrez Schatz, an assistant of Dr. Waksman, isolated two actinomyces strains which proved to be identical to the strain discovered in 1915, yet somehow these two new strains had antibiotic behavior. Dr. Waksman named this antibiotic “streptomycin.” It was later determined that the S.griseus strain that give rise to the antibiotic was able to produce two variants, one in which had antibiotic activity and had no antibiotic activity. Waksman along with Schatz and Bugie, found streptomycin to be particularly effective against the tuberculosis bacteria, tubercle bacillus."

Wagner, Jr., Professor and Extension Food Technologist Food borne illness is an ever-present threat that can be prevented with proper care and handling of food products. It is estimated that between 24 and 81 million cases of food borne diarrhea disease occur each year in the United States, costing between $5 billion and $17 billion in medical care and lost productivity. Chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, fungi, viruses and bacteria can cause food borne illness. Bacteria related food poisoning is the most common, but fewer than 20 of the many thousands of different bacteria actually are the culprits. More than 90 percent of the cases of food poisoning each year are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, and Entero-pathogenic Escherichia coli. These bacteria are commonly found on many raw foods. Normally a large number of food-poisoning bacteria must be present to cause illness. Therefore, illness can be prevented by (1) controlling the initial number of bacteria present, (2) preventing the small number from growing, (3) destroying the bacteria by proper cooking and (4) avoiding re-contamination. Poor personal hygiene, improper cleaning of storage and preparation areas and unclean utensils cause contamination of raw and cooked foods. Mishandling of raw and cooked foods allows bacteria to grow."

Tauxe Author affiliations: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USACite This Article Abstract To better quantify the impact of foodborne diseases on health in the United States, we compiled and analyzed information from multiple surveillance systems and other sources. We estimate that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Known pathogens account for an estimated 14 million illnesses, 60,000 hospitalizations, and 1,800 deaths. Three pathogens, Salmonella, Listeria, and Toxoplasma, are responsible for 1,500 deaths each year, more than 75% of those caused by known pathogens, while unknown agents account for the remaining 62 million illnesses, 265,000 hospitalizations, and 3,200 deaths. Overall, foodborne diseases appear to cause more illnesses but fewer deaths than previously estimated. More than 200 known diseases are transmitted through food (1). The causes of foodborne illness include viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals, and prions, and the symptoms of foodborne illness range from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening neurologic, hepatic, and renal syndromes. In the United States, foodborne diseases have been estimated to cause 6 million to 81 million illnesses and up to 9,000 deaths each year ( 2 - 5 ). However, ongoing changes in the food supply, the identification of new foodborne diseases, and the availability of new surveillance data have made these figures obsolete. New, more accurate estimates are needed to guide prevention efforts and assess the effectiveness of food safety regulations."

"text": "\"Campylobacteriosis: Disease caused by Campylobacter jejuni, now the leading cause of bacterial food poisoning, most often spread by contact with raw or undercooked poultry. A single drop of juice from a contaminated chicken is enough to make someone sick with Campylobacteriosis. Campylobacteriosis usually strikes only one person or a few people at a time. A common way to become infected is to cut poultry meat on a cutting board, and then use the unwashed cutting board or utensil to prepare vegetables or other raw or lightly cooked foods. The Campylobacter organisms from the raw meat can then spread to the other foods. The organism is not usually spread from person to person, but this can happen if the infected person is a small child or is producing a large volume of diarrhea. Many chicken flocks are silently infected with Campylobacter; that is, the chickens are infected with the organism but show no signs of illness. When an infected bird is slaughtered, Campylobacter can be transferred from the intestines to the meat. More than half of the raw chicken in the US market has Campylobacter on it. Campylobacter is also present in the giblets, especially the liver."

Here is a summary of what we are going to cover: Part 1:> What is SIBO and how it can ruin your health> Why it’s important to know which ‘type’ of SIBO you have> Symptoms to look out for and why SIBO is often the cause of IBS> The most common underlying root causes of SIBO? Part 2:> The science (and art) of testing for SIBOPart 3:> Latest SIBO treatment protocols that actually work WHAT IS SIBO?. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is defined as an increased number and/or abnormal type of bacteria in the small intestine (1). While bacteria are normally found in huge numbers in the large intestine, what is unique about SIBO is that these bacteria move to where they don’t belong and colonise the small intestine, a region that should contain very limited numbers of bacteria (2). Because these bacteria are supposed to be in the large intestine, they are mostly species that ferment carbohydrates into hydrogen gas (H2) or archaea (not technically bacteria) that produce methane gas (CH4). While both types will usually result in abdominal bloating and distention, SIBO sufferers are usually divided into one of three different categories; diarrhoea-dominant (D), constipation-dominant (C) or alternating variations of both."

Symptoms vary depending on the cause, and are described below in this article. A few broad generalizations can be made, e.g. : The incubation period ranges from hours to days, depending on the cause and on how much was consumed. The incubation period tends to cause sufferers to not associate the symptoms with the item consumed, and so to cause sufferers to attribute the symptoms to gastroenteritis for example. Symptoms often include vomiting, fever, and aches, and may include diarrhea. Bouts of vomiting can be repeated with an extended delay in between, because even if infected food was eliminated from the stomach in the first bout, microbes (if applicable) can pass through the stomach into the intestine and begin to multiply. Some types of microbes stay in the intestine, some produce a toxin that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and some can directly invade deeper body tissues.

Campylobacter species can cause mild to severe diarrhea, with loose, watery stools often followed by bloody diarrhea (7,20). C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari account for more than 99% of the human isolates ( C. jejuni 90%). Other species have been associated with human illness in recent years (7,17,18,23,26,27). Campylobacter species are highly infective. The infective dose of C. jejuni ranges from 500 to 10,000 cells, depending on the strain, damage to cells from environmental stresses, and the susceptibility of the host (4,6,7,20,27). Only the mesophilic C. fetus is normally invasive. Thermophilic species (optimum 42°C) such as C. jejuni are occasionally invasive. The infections are manifested as meningitis, pneumonia, miscarriage, and a severe form of Guillain-Barré syndrome (6,20). Thermotolerant strains of C. fetus that grow at 42°C have been isolated from patients (17)."

Food enters through the head of the stomach (cardia) and exits through the tail (pylorus) after digestion. The volume of the stomach increases at meal times and decreases as chyme leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. The relaxed (empty) stomach has folds of lumen, which expands upon food arrival and almost disappears in a full stomach [11]. Enzymes and acids are secreted in the stomach to break down food molecules, which is stored for gradual energy use. Animals have one of three main types of diets: Omnivores, Carnivores, or Herbivores. More specifically, human, cat, and cow respectively represent these diets. These three species are categorized by the nutrients that they consume and are distinguished by the unique characteristics of their stomach adapting to these different nutrients. Omnivores: Human Human Stomach. From the Medline Plus."

"text": "Food Safety & Sanitation Learning How to Cook9 Signs You Might Have Food Poisoning By Danilo Alfaro Updated 03/31/18Share Pin Email Tom Le Golf/Photodisc/Getty Images The symptoms of food poisoning can vary depending on what sort of bug you might be dealing with, but there are definitely some characteristic signs that show up in most cases. If you think you have food poisoning it's important to see a doctor. If left untreated a severe case of food poisoning could be fatal especially in the young or elderly. Food Poisoning or Flu? You might wonder whether the symptoms you're experiencing are really signs of food poisoning, or whether it's merely some sort of stomach flu or stomach bug. In reality, though, the terms “stomach flu” or “stomach bug” are just expressions used to describe symptoms that are, for the most part, caused by food poisoning. In other words, if you have the stomach flu or a stomach bug, you probably got it by eating something that gave you a case of food poisoning. For that reason, simply looking at symptoms isn't always enough to diagnose a case of food poisoning. You might also want to think about what you recently ate and where you ate it. If someone else who ate the same food also has the same symptoms, that's a strong indicator of a case of food poisoning."

Symptoms vary depending on the cause, and are described below in this article. A few broad generalizations can be made, e.g. : The incubation period ranges from hours to days, depending on the cause and on how much was consumed. The incubation period tends to cause sufferers to not associate the symptoms with the item consumed, and so to cause sufferers to attribute the symptoms to gastroenteritis for example. Symptoms often include vomiting, fever, and aches, and may include diarrhea. Bouts of vomiting can be repeated with an extended delay in between, because even if infected food was eliminated from the stomach in the first bout, microbes (if applicable) can pass through the stomach into the intestine and begin to multiply. Some types of microbes stay in the intestine, some produce a toxin that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and some can directly invade deeper body tissues.

Detailed fact sheets include specific testing and treatment recommendations as well as citations so the reader can research the topic more in depth. What is chlamydia? Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. It can cause cervicitis in women and urethritis and proctitis in both men and women. Chlamydial infections in women can lead to serious consequences including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), tubal factor infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), another type of STD caused by different serovars of the same bacterium, occurs commonly in the developing world, and has more recently emerged as a cause of outbreaks of proctitis among men who have sex with men (MSM) worldwide. 1,2How common is chlamydia? Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the United States. 3 In 2016, 1,598,354 cases of chlamydia were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia, 3 but an estimated 2.86 million infections occur annually."

"text": "Acute epididymitis is a clinical syndrome consisting of pain, swelling, and inflammation of the epididymis that lasts <6 weeks ( 755 ). Sometimes the testis is also involved— a condition referred to as epididymo-orchitis. A high index of suspicion for spermatic cord (testicular) torsion must be maintained in men who present with a sudden onset of symptoms associated with epididymitis, as this condition is a surgical emergency. Among sexually active men aged <35 years, acute epididymitis is most frequently caused by C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae. Acute epididymitis caused by sexually transmitted enteric organisms (e.g., Escherichia coli) also occurs among men who are the insertive partner during anal intercourse. Sexually transmitted acute epididymitis usually is accompanied by urethritis, which frequently is asymptomatic. Other nonsexually transmitted infectious causes of acute epididymitis (e.g., Fournier’s gangrene) are uncommon and should be managed in consultation with a urologist. In men aged ≥35 years who do not report insertive anal intercourse, sexually transmitted acute epididymitis is less common. In this group, the epididymis usually becomes infected in the setting of bacteruria secondary to bladder outlet obstruction (e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia) ( 756 ). In older men, nonsexually transmitted acute epididymitis is also associated with prostate biopsy, urinary tract instrumentation or surgery, systemic disease, and/or immunosuppression."

Answer: Screening for gonorrhea in men and older women who are at low risk for infection is not recommended. Some MSM are at high risk for HIV infection and other viral and bacterial STDs and should be screened for sexually transmitted infections per the existing CDC STD Treatment Guidelines. Providers should ask their patients with urogenital or rectal GC about oral sexual exposure; if reported, patients should be treated with a regimen with acceptable efficacy against pharyngeal gonorrhea infection. Question 2: Is chlamydia screening recommended for men who have sex with men (MSM) and HIV-positive individuals? What other STIs should MSM or HIV-positive individuals be screened for? Answer: Chlamydia screening is recommended for sexually active MSM and for sexually active HIV-positive persons. Irrespective of the presence or absence of symptoms, routine STD screening (for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) is recommended at least annually for all sexually active, HIV-positive persons; more frequent screening might be appropriate depending on individual risk. See 2010 STD Treatment Guidelines, page 12, for a discussion of the specific screening tests recommended for sexually active MSM, and page 16 for discussion of screening tests for HIV-positive patients."

"text": "Chlamydia By Matthew Cenzon. May 7th 2016Often considered a silent disease, as many as 1 out of 4 men who are infected with chlamydia will show no symptoms, while only an estimated 30 percent of women will show signs or symptoms of the infection, says the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI), where individuals who engage in sexual activity with multiple partners are the most at risk. Read on to learn more about this STI and what you can do to prevent it. Definition Chlamydia is an STI that is caused by the chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. It can be spread through vaginal, anal or oral sex with an infected individual. Women who are pregnant can also pass the infection to their babies during childbirth. Even though the symptoms associated with this infection are typically mild or absent all together, serious complications can arise from them that result in irreversible damage, including infertility. However, there is a substantial amount of underreporting and information on chlamydia because so many men and women who have chlamydia are completely unaware of it and are not seeking testing or treatment. Symptoms Chlamydia is often regarded as a silent disease because a vast amount of affected men and women will have no symptoms of chlamydia to speak of, meaning that they are completely unaware of having the infection."

D. +INTRODUCTIONPublic health officials rely on health providers, laboratories, and other public health personnel to report the occurrence of notifiable diseases to state and local health departments. Without such data, monitoring trends or evaluating the effectiveness of intervention activities would be difficult. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) has recommended that state health departments report cases of selected diseases ( Table 1) to CDC's National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). However, the usefulness of such data has been limited by the lack of uniform case definitions for public health surveillance (1). Without explicit criteria for identifying cases, state health departments and individual practitioners have used various criteria for case reporting. This document, prepared in cooperation with the CSTE, provides uniform criteria for reporting purposes. States that wish to improve the specificity of reporting may find the definitions helpful. As uniform case definitions are adopted, the incidence of reported diseases in different geographic areas may be more meaningfully compared. In the United States, requirements for reporting diseases are mandated by state laws or regulations, and the list of reportable diseases in each state varies."

They are considered a separate group of bacteria because they have the common feature of being spread by arthropod vectors (lice, fleas, mites and ticks). The cells are extremely small (0.25 u in diameter) rod-shaped, coccoid and often pleomorphic microorganisms which have typical bacterial cell walls, no flagella, are gram-negative and multiply via binary fission only inside host cells. They occur singly, in pairs, or in strands. Most species are found only in the cytoplasm of host cells, but those which cause spotted fevers multiply in nuclei as well as in cytoplasm."

You can get it by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the infection. Chlamydia bacterial infections are more common among sexually active teens and young adults. Chlamydia may cause vaginal or penile discharge or a burning sensation with urination, among other symptoms."

If left untreated, however, it can lead to more-serious health problems. Symptoms Early-stage Chlamydia trachomatis infections often cause few or no signs and symptoms. When signs or symptoms occur, they usually start one to two weeks after exposure to chlamydia. Even when signs and symptoms occur, they're often mild and passing, making them easy to overlook. Signs and symptoms of chlamydia trachomatis infection may include: Painful urination Lower abdominal pain Vaginal discharge in women Discharge from the penis in men Painful sexual intercourse in women Bleeding between periods and after sex in women Testicular pain in men Chlamydia trachomatis can also infect the rectum.

Facts on STDs in Men Share Your Story Sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs) can be spread (transmitted) by intercourse, kissing, oral-genital contact, and sharing sexual devices. Aside from abstinence, the use of latex barriers, such as condoms, during intercourse and oral-genital contact (although not 100% effective) is the best means of preventing the spread of STDs. Genital or oral ulcers are most often caused by herpes simplex, chancroid, syphilis, and lymphogranuloma venereum. Syphilis infection can either produce no symptoms or can cause oral or genital ulcers, rash, fever, or a variety of neurological illnesses ranging from forgetfulness to stroke. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be transmitted alone or together and cause inflammation of the urethra (urethritis), which the patient experiences as burning on urination and a penile discharge (dripping). The human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ), which causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS ), is spread by infected blood or sexual secretions and is often associated with one or more of the other STDs. Human papillomavirus ( HPV) causes warts and is associated with the development of anogenital cancer such as cervical cancer in women and anal or penile cancers in men. Hepatitis B is transmitted primarily through sexual contact while Hepatitis C is transmitted more commonly by contact with infected blood. Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) is a recently identified virus that may be transmitted sexually and has been associated with Kaposi's sarcoma (an unusual skin tumor ), and possibly certain lymphomas (tumors of the lymph tissue)."

EPT is an alternative strategy for ensuring that sex partners get needed medication thus reducing the likelihood of re-infection of the original patient. In May 2008, Minnesota pharmacy statutes were amended removing the only known legal barrier to implementing EPT in Minnesota. This document was created to assist medical providers in Minnesota to utilize EPT as a tool in the management of partners of persons with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrheae infection. The following guidelines are focused on EPT strategies and provide information on the most appropriate patients, medications, and counseling procedures recommended to maximize patient and public health benefit while minimizing risk. Brief Description of Expedited Partner Therapy Expedited partner therapy (EPT) is the practice of treating the sex partners of persons with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) without any intervening medical evaluation or professional prevention counseling. The usual implementation of EPT is through patient delivered partner therapy, whereby the index patient delivers medication or a prescription to their sexual partner (s). 1This option allowing providers to use EPT is not intended as the first and optimal choice of treatment for partners of individuals diagnosed with gonorrhea and chlamydia. However, this strategy can serve as a useful alternative when the partner is unable or unlikely to seek care."

Introduction Once thought to be an inconvenient complication of antimicrobials, Clostridium difficile is now the most common pathogen to cause health care–associated infections (HAIs) in the United States. 1–9 C difficile infection (CDI) is currently well recognized as a cause of significant patient morbidity and mortality and a major burden to the health care system. Initially, the changes in CDI incidence were noted in dramatic outbreaks of CDI. However, increases in the morbidity, mortality, and costs associated with CDI have been noted in endemic settings. In this review, the authors discuss the morbidity, mortality, and burden of CDI in North America to patients and the health care system. Morbidity The burden of CDI in North America has been increasing, and recent data suggest that C difficile has replaced Staphylococcus aureus as the most common cause of HAIs. 4,9 Miller and colleagues 10 compared the rates of hospital-onset, health care–associated CDI with the rates of HAIs caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other HAIs at 39 hospitals. Notably, the rates of CDI exceeded MRSA-HAI rates by 25% from 2008 to 2009."

Ancient civilizations exploited the antimicrobial properties of copper long before the concept of microbes became understood in the nineteenth century. [ 1] [2] In addition to several copper medicinal preparations, it was also observed centuries ago that water contained in copper vessels or transported in copper conveyance systems was of better quality (i.e., no or little visible slime or biofouling formation) than water contained or transported in other materials. [ citation needed]The antimicrobial properties of copper are still under active investigation. Molecular mechanisms responsible for the antibacterial action of copper have been a subject of intensive research. Scientists are also actively demonstrating the intrinsic efficacy of copper alloy \"\"touch surfaces\"\" to destroy a wide range of microorganisms that threaten public health.

[ 3] This antimicrobial effect is shown by ions of copper as well as mercury, silver, iron, lead, zinc, bismuth, gold, and aluminium. In 1973, researchers at Battelle Columbus Laboratories [4] conducted a comprehensive literature, technology and patent search that traced the history of understanding the \"\"bacteriostatic and sanitizing properties of copper and copper alloy surfaces\"\", which demonstrated that copper, in very small quantities, has the power to control a wide range of molds, fungi, algae and harmful microbes.

"text": "An enzyme immunoassay for the detection of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) produced by both toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of Clostridium difficile. After treatment with antibiotics, many patients develop gastrointestinal problems ranging from mild diarrhea to severe pseudomembranous colitis. Many cases of the milder forms of gastrointestinal illness and most cases of pseudomembranous colitis are caused by Clostridium difficile, an opportunistic anaerobic bacterium that grows in the intestine once the normal flora has been altered by antibiotics. Toxigenic strains of C. difficile carry the genes encoding the toxins whereas non-toxigenic strains do not carry the toxin genes. The disease results from the toxins that the organism produces. The clinical symptoms associated with the disease are believed to be primarily due to toxin A, which is a tissue-damaging enterotoxin. C. difficile also produces a second toxin, designated toxin B. Toxin B, which has been referred to as the cytotoxin of the organism, is the toxin detected by the tissue culture assay currently used by many laboratories. Toxigenic C. difficile strains produce both toxins or only toxin B. The glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) of C. difficile is a good antigen marker for the organism in feces because it is produced in high amounts by all strains, toxigenic or non-toxigenic. The antigen can be detected in fecal specimens by using the C. DIFF CHEK™ -60 test. A positive result in the test, which is highly specific for the glutamate dehydrogenase of C. difficile, confirms the presence of this organism in a fecal specimen; a negative result indicates the absence of the organism."

"text": "Clostridium difficile Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, toxin-producing anaerobic bacterium belonging to the family Clostridiaceae of the Clostridiales. Though strictly oxygen-intolerant, C. difficile is able to produce aerotolerant endospores under unfavourable conditions that are capable of persisting in an open environment for years. C. difficile is a commensalist species typically housed in the colonic fecal flora of a fairly small subset of the child population, with the number of carriers decreasing as children age (Kelly and La Mont, 1998). When it exists in small numbers, this organism remains non-pathogenic. However, when it does manage to colonize and yield larger populations, its pathogenicity becomes the root cause of a variety of colon infections. Figure 1. This micrograph depicts Clostridium difficile bacteria from a stool sample culture. Infection by C. difficile arises in an opportunistic manner; normal microflora in the gut attributes to the body’s defense against pathogenic domination and so, mass colonization of C. difficile usually occurs in individuals where typical colonic flora has been disrupted as a result of antibiotic use, individuals who are immunosuppressed (AIDS or cancer patients), or people taking so-called intestinal cleansers. C. difficile inherent pathogenicity lies in its ability to produce toxin. In particular, this pathogen produces two potent cytotoxins, namely, toxin A and toxin B, which ultimately lead to C. difficile -associated infection and disease (Mylonakis et al.,"

A fresh or refrigerated liquid or unformed stool sample that has not been contaminated with urine or water Test Preparation Needed? None Looking for Test Results? Looking for Reference Ranges? What is being tested? Clostridium difficile ( C. difficile) is a type of bacteria that is associated with diarrhea resulting from antibiotic use. C. difficile testing and C. difficile toxin tests identify the presence of these bacteria and detect the toxins produced by them. C. difficile may be present as part of the normal bacterial flora in the digestive tract of up to 65% of healthy infants and 3% of healthy adults."

Gram-positive bacteria, which includes several significant human pathogens, including the causative agent of botulism and an important cause of diarrhea, Clostridium difficile. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores. The normal, reproducing cells of Clostridium, called the vegetative form, are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek κλωστήρ or spindle. Clostridium endospores have a distinct bowling pin or bottle shape, distinguishing them from other bacterial endospores, which are usually ovoid in shape. Clostridium species inhabit soils and the intestinal tract of animals, including humans. [ 2] Clostridium is a normal inhabitant of the healthy lower reproductive tract of women.

This same toxin is known as Botox and is used in cosmetic surgery to paralyze facial muscles to reduce the signs of aging; it also has numerous other therapeutic uses. Clostridium difficile can flourish when other gut flora bacteria are killed during antibiotic therapy, leading to superinfection and potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis (a severe necrotizing disease of the large intestine)."

Clostridium difficile is a serious bacteria that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. Share: FULL STORYMayo Clinic researchers have found that a sometimes deadly stomach bug, Clostridium difficile, is on the rise in outpatient settings. Clostridium difficile is a serious bacteria that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. These findings were presented October 26 at the 2009 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Meeting in San Diego. Clostridium difficile, often called C. difficile or \"\" C. diff ,\"\" is a bacterium that is resistant to some antibiotics and is most often contracted by the elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. \"\" Recent reports have shown increasing incidence and severity of C. difficile infection -- especially in the older population,\"\" says Darrell Pardi, M. D., Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and senior author on the study. \"\" Our study examines why the cases are on the rise and who is getting the infection. \"\" In this population-based study, researchers studied 385 cases of C. difficile bacterial infection from 1991-2005 to determine how many cases were hospital-acquired versus community-acquired infections. Of the cases, 192 were hospital-acquired and 35 were residents of nursing homes."

Lentino, MD, Ph D, Chief, Infectious Disease Section and Professor of Medicine, Loyola University Medical Center Get the Quick Facts For this topic NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Clostridium difficile -induced colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine that results in diarrhea. The inflammation is caused by the growth of unusual bacteria, which usually results from antibiotic use. The colitis is usually caused by taking antibiotics. Typical symptoms range from slightly loose stools to bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Doctors test the stool and sometimes use a viewing tube to examine the large intestine of people who have symptoms of Clostridium difficile -induced colitis. Most people who have mild Clostridium difficile -induced colitis get better after the causative antibiotic has been discontinued and another antibiotic is taken. Many antibiotics alter the balance among the types and quantity of bacteria in the intestine, thus allowing certain disease-causing bacteria to multiply and replace other bacteria. The type of bacteria that most commonly overgrows and causes infection is Clostridium difficile. Clostridium difficile infection releases two toxins that can cause inflammation of the protective lining of the large intestine (colitis)."

Clostridia are anaerobic, spore-forming rods. C. difficile is the most serious cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and can lead to pseudomembranous colitis, a severe inflammation of the colon, often resulting from eradication of the normal gut flora by antibiotics. In a very small percentage of the adult population, C. difficile bacteria naturally reside in the gut. Other people accidentally ingest spores of the bacteria while they are patients in a hospital, nursing home, or similar facility. When the bacteria are in a colon in which the normal gut flora has been destroyed, the gut becomes overrun with C. difficile. This overpopulation is harmful because the bacteria release toxins that can cause bloating and diarrhea, with abdominal pain, which may become severe. C. difficile infections are the most common cause of pseudomembranous colitis, and in rare cases this can progress to toxic megacolon, which can be life-threatening. U. S.

In industrialized countries most of the infected patients are immigrants, institutionalized people and those who have recently visited developing countries. Inside humans Entamoeba histolytica lives and multiplies as a trophozoite. Trophozoites are oblong and about 15–20 µm in length. In order to infect other humans they encyst and exit the body. The life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica does not require any intermediate host. Mature cysts (spherical, 12–15 µm in diameter) are passed in the feces of an infected human.

Entamoeba was recently reclassified as two species. Entamoeba histolytica, the commonest agent of invasive amoebiasis and Entamoeba dispar, a non-invasive commensal classified on the basis of biochemical, immunological and genetic evidence 1. E. dispar was described by E mile Brumpt in 1925 but dismissed as a synonym of E. histolytica. Later on in 1920 evidence indicated that previous finding may be correct and E. dispar is now accepted as a distinct species. The invasive form usually penetrate the mucosa resulting in massive destruction of host tissue and cause hemorrhagic colitis and extraintestinal abscess whereas the non-invasive form passively inhabits the cavities of the lower intestine as commensal 2. E. dispar has never been seen in an isolate from a patient with invasive disease but in rare cases pathogenic E. histolytica was observed from asymptomatic cases 3. Signs of dys ntery are more common in patients diagnosed with disease caused by species of E. Histolytica 4. Current diagnosis of E. histolytica infection involves the direct microscopic identification of the parasite, a technique that is insensitive and cannot distinguish E. histolytica from E. dispar 5."

Views PDF Cite Permissions Share Amebiasis in developed countries is most common in immigrants and travelers returning from the third world, and less common in men who have sex with men and immunosuppressed individuals. Infection is acquired by ingestion of food or water containing the cyst form of the parasite Entamoeba histolytica, which is the cause of amebic colitis and liver abscess. The trophozite invades the intestinal epithelium and causes disease by destroying host tissues. Amebic colitis commonly has a subacute onset with weight loss, and is characterized by diarrhea that usually contains occult or gross blood. Because E. histolytica is identical in appearance to the nonpathogenic parasite Entamoeba dispar, amebic colitis is best diagnosed by detection of E. histolytica in stool. Amebic liver abscess is 10 times more common in men than women. A history of alcohol abuse is common, and patients usually present with several weeks of fever and right upper quadrant pain. Most patients with liver abscess do not have concurrent dystentery."

The term parasite refers to organisms that infest another organism where it lives and feeds. Some of these parasites are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye whereas other parasites are relatively large. Human intestinal parasites are either one-cell organisms or intestinal worms that live in the small or large intestine and consume nutrients from the intestinal lumen or the blood flowing in the intestinal wall. One-Cell Parasites – Protozoa One-cell organisms, like Giardia lamblia, also called Giardia duodenale ( Picture 1 ), Cryptosporidium (crypto) and Cyclospora, utilize nutrients from the stool. They belong to a living kingdom Protozoa (Gk. protos = first; zoa = animals). They may cause inflammation of the small intestine thus hampering absorption of nutrients.

Classification and external resources Specialty infectious disease ICD - 9-CM 007.8Diseases DB 33233Me SH D016776 [ edit on Wikidata]Blastocystosis refers to a medical condition caused by infection with Blastocystis. Blastocystis is a protozoal, single-celled parasite that inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other animals. Many different types of Blastocystis exist, and they can infect humans, farm animals, birds, rodents, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and even cockroaches. Blastocystosis has been found to be a possible risk factor for development of irritable bowel syndrome.

These reports resulted in a brief debate in medical journals in the early 1990s between some physicians in the United States who believed that Blastocystis was harmless, and physicians in the United States and overseas who believed it could cause disease. At the time, it was common practice to identify all Blastocystis from humans as Blastocystis hominis, while Blastocystis from animals was identified differently (e.g. Blastocystis ratti from rats). Research performed since then has shown that the concept of Blastocystis hominis as a unique species of Blastocystis infecting humans is not supported by microbiological findings. Although one species group associated with primates was found, it was also discovered that humans can acquire infection from any one of nine species groups of Blastocystis which are also carried by cattle, pigs, rodents, chickens, pheasants, monkeys, dogs, and other animals.

Hamid ( Departments of Medicine and Microbiology, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. ) Read PDFLiver abscess is a common condition in our part of the world. This is not surprising if one looks at the epidemiology of amoebiasis. The prevalence of infection with E. histolytica and E. dispar is as high as 50% in the underdeveloped areas, where asymptomatic intestinal infection occurs in 90 to 99% of infected individuals and confers a 10% risk per year of symptomatic invasive amoebiasis 1. However, apart from Entamoeba histolytica, liver abscess may also be caused by other pathogens, including enteric gram-negative bacteria and pyogenic gram-positive cocci. Occasionally, salmonella, brucella, mycobacteria and even fungi have been known to produce abscesses in the liver. Pyogenic liver abscess, however, is an uncommon entity. Not unexpectedly, it is more common than amoebic liver abscess in the developed world: a direct reflection of prevalence of E. histolytica in these areas 2,3. How does a liver abscess evolve?"

"text": "\"Amoeba An amoeba (pronounced uh-MEE-buh) is any of several tiny, one-celled protozoa in the phylum (or primary division of the animal kingdom) Sarcodina. Amoebas live in freshwater and salt water, in soil, and as parasites in moist body parts of animals. They are composed of cytoplasm (cellular fluid) divided into two parts: a thin, clear, gel-like outer layer that acts as a membrane (ectoplasm); and an inner, more watery grainy mass (endoplasm) containing structures called organelles. Amoebas may have one or more nuclei, depending upon the species. The word amoeba comes from a Greek word meaning \"\"to change.\"\" The amoeba moves by continually changing its body shape, forming extensions called pseudopods (false feet) into which its body then flows. The pseudopods also are used to surround and capture food — mainly bacteria, algae, and other protozoa — from the surrounding water. An opening in the membrane allows the food particles, along with drops of water, to enter the cell, where they are enclosed in bubblelike chambers called food vacuoles. There the food is digested by enzymes and absorbed into the cell. The food vacuoles then disappear."

Serotonin is also found in many mushrooms and plants, including fruits and vegetables. Contents [ show]Function Edit File:5-HT numbered.svg In the central nervous system, serotonin plays an important role as a neurotransmitter in the modulation of anger, aggression, body temperature, mood, sleep, human sexuality, appetite, and metabolism, as well as stimulating vomiting. [ 1]Serotonin has broad activities in the brain, and genetic variation in serotonin receptors and the serotonin transporter, which facilitates reuptake of serotonin into presynapses, have been implicated in neurological diseases. Drugs targeting serotonin-induced pathways are being used in the treatment of many psychiatric disorders, and one focus of clinical research is the influence of genetics on serotonin action and metabolism in psychiatric settings. Such studies have revealed that the variation in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter protein accounts for nearly 10% of total variance in anxiety-related personality, [2] and the effect of this gene on depression was found to interact with the environment. [ 3]Levels of serotonin in the brain show association with aggression [4], and a mutation in the gene which codes for the 5-HT 2A receptor may double the risk of suicide for those with that genotype. [ 5]Using the ultimatum game as model, it was shown that people whose serotonin levels have been artificially lowered will reject unfair offers more often than players with normal serotonin levels. [ 6]In addition, serotonin is also a peripheral signal mediator. It is found extensively in the human gastrointestinal tract as about 80-90% of the body's total serotonin is found in the enterochromaffin cells in the gut. ["

Credit: Liam Daniel/Focus Features For most people, the name Stephen Hawking calls to mind the brilliant, wheel chair-bound physicist and his renowned theories about space-time and black holes. But a new film depicts a different side of Hawking: his relationship with his first wife, and his battle with a brutal disease. \"\" The Theory of Everything\"\" tells the story of Stephen Hawking 's life with Jane Hawking, and his struggle with motor neuron disease, or ALS. The movie reveals how the couple's bond allowed Hawking to persist in the face of increasing disability, and develop the theories that made him so famous. The movie is not a biopic of Hawking's life — it's a portrait of a relationship, said director James Marsh. Of course, Hawking's illness plays a huge part in that relationship, Marsh told Live Science. \"\" It's like a bomb that goes off in a family — it resonates across all the people that have contact with that family.\"\" [ ' Theory of Everything': The Love Story of Stephen and Jane Hawking]Based on Jane Hawking's memoir \"\"Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen\"\" (Alma Books, 2008), the film weaves together the story of Stephen and Jane's marriage, with that of his illness and his pursuit of a \"\" theory of everything . \"\" A brutal disease The film begins when Hawking is a graduate student in physics at Cambridge University in England, where he meets and falls in love with Jane."

Lemonick February 3, 2014Partway through Hawking, a moving new PBS documentary on the life and work of British physicist Stephen Hawking, narrated via voice synthesizer by the man himself, Hawking raises a delicate point. “ Sometimes I wonder,” he says, “If I’m as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries.” He never offers a definitive answer, but it seems pretty clear that the filmmakers think it’s mostly about the discoveries. Sure, the backstory is poignant, and even amazing—diagnosed with the muscle-wasting condition known variously as ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease and, in the U. K., motor neurone disease, Hawking was given just two years to live. Yet a full half-century later, after a distinguished career at Cambridge, the 71-year-old scientist, now utterly paralyzed, is still hard at work trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. But it’s the discoveries that really catapulted Hawking into the pantheon of physics greatness, right? Trapped in an increasingly useless body, he could, as Caltech physicist Kip Thorne says in the film “move at lightning speed through the universe, seeing things nobody else could see.” He is, as most of us know, the greatest physicist since Einstein.

Early signs of Lou Gehrig’s disease can include muscle weakness, especially in the arms and hands, muscle atrophy, and trouble with speech and swallowing. According to Johns Hopkins Medical School, approximately 5,600 people in the U. S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. ( 1) The incidence of ALS is two per 100,000 people, and it is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans may have the disease at any given time. Unfortunately, as of today there is no known cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease. Most people turn to conventional treatments to help manage Lou Gehrig’s disease/ALS, although there are also natural ALS treatments available that can reduce severity of symptoms and help with coping. In this article, I will share information regarding what we now know about the potential causes of Lou Gehrig’s disease, the signs and symptoms to be aware of, as well as the best foods and supplements for helping to improve quality of life. What Is Lou Gehrig’s Disease? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, degenerative neuromuscular disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis describes how the disease causes muscle atrophy and also scarring or hardening (“sclerosis”) of lateral areas of a person’s spinal cord. ("

Now they are starring together in “The Theory of Everything” (opening Friday), a movie that charts the brave, unconventional relationship between the brilliant British cosmologist Stephen Hawking, author of “A Brief History of Time,” and his steely wife, Jane. Jane and Stephen fell in love at Cambridge, where both were studying. At the age of 21, he was given a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the form of motor neuron disease known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and told he had two years to live. She married him anyway, and they proved the prediction wrong, raising three children together while he poured himself into his work and grew increasingly physically impaired. Directed by James Marsh ( “Man on Wire” ), based on Jane Hawking’s memoir, “Traveling to Infinity: My Life With Stephen,” and produced and written by Anthony Mc Carten, the film traces the couple’s unusual relationship, in which Jane served as Stephen’s caregiver, champion, motivator and bridge to as normal a family life as they could hope for. Along the way, a third person entered their relationship — their friend Jonathan Hellyer Jones, a choirmaster. After 26 years of marriage, Jane and Stephen divorced, and Jane married Jonathan, but it is a testament to their practicality and also to their resilience that all three remain close. ("

"text": "By —Katherine Harmon0 comments Share How did Stephen Hawking live 55 years with ALS? Science Jan 9, 2012 10:59 AM EDTEditor’s note: Stephen Hawking passed away March 14, 2018. In this analysis from 2012, an expert on Lou Gehrig’s disease explains what we know about this debilitating condition and how Hawking has beaten the odds. Stephen Hawking turns 70 on Sunday, beating the odds of a daunting diagnosis by nearly half a century. The famous theoretical physicist has helped to bring his ideas about black holes and quantum gravity to a broad public audience. For much of his time in the public eye, though, he has been confined to a wheelchair by a form of the motor-neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). And since 1985 he has had to speak through his trademark computer system–which he operates with his cheek–and have around-the-clock care. But his disease seems hardly to have slowed him down. Hawking spent 30 years as a full professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge. And he is currently the director of research at the school’s Center for Theoretical Cosmology."

Credit: Flickr/NASA HQ PHOTO. Stephen Hawking, the British physicist famous for his groundbreaking research in the face of pronounced physical disability, has applied to trademark his name. Like author J. K. Rowling, soccer star David Beckham and fellow physicist Brian Cox, Hawking filed for the trademark in order to prevent people from using his name inappropriately in products, Techie News reported. The trademark would also allow Hawking to set up a charitable foundation, possibly to support research in physics or motor neuron disease. [ 8 Shocking Things We Learned From Stephen Hawking's Book]The University of Cambridge professor, who was recently portrayed by actor Eddie Redmayne (who went on to win an Academy Award for his performance) in the 2014 biopic \"\" The Theory of Everything ,\"\" suffers from a motor neuron disease related to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also called Lou Gehrig's disease. Diagnosed when he was 21, Hawking is completely paralyzed and unable to speak without the aid of a computerized speech synthesizer. Professionally, Hawking is most famous for his studies of black holes and other space-time singularities. He also wrote the best-selling popular science book, \"\"A Brief History of Time\"\" (Bantam Dell Publishing Group, 1988). The move to trademark his name is \"\"a personal matter for Stephen Hawking; it is not a university issue, but he has taken measures to protect his name and the success it has brought,\"\" a University of Cambridge spokesman said, according to Techie News."

Jane did not have sex with Jones until the 1980's, even though she knew him before that. When Hawking could no longer have sex, he agreed to keep the family together and he'd look the other way. His children were grown when he divorced Jane, so I guess she got half of his money, but no child support.

"text": "INDY Tech How Stephen Hawking is still alive, defying ALS and the worst expectations Hawking's amazing survival has left some doctors unable to believe that he suffers from ALSTerrence Mc Coy Friday 27 February 2015 11:25 GMTClick to follow The Independent Tech On April 20, 2009, a moment arrived that doctors had foretold for decades. Stephen Hawking, a scientist who overcame debilitating disease to become the world’s most renowned living physicist, was on the cusp of death. The University of Cambridge released grim prognoses. Hawking, diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21, was described as “very ill” and “undergoing tests” at the hospital. Newspapers ran obituary-esque articles. It seemed time was up for the man who so eloquently explained it. But, as is his custom, Hawking survived. Hawking shouldn’t be able to do the things he now does. The 73-year-old shouldn’t be able to deliver meditations on the existence of God. He shouldn’t be able to fret over artificial intelligence or humanity’s capacity for self-destruction."

"text": "\"STEPHEN HAWKING (1942 - 2018) << Back to List of Important Scientists Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking is a world-renowned British theoretical physicist, known for his contributions to the fields of cosmology, general relativity and quantum gravity, especially in the context of black holes. In the 1960s and 1970s, he worked on ground-breaking theorems regarding singularities within the framework of general relativity, and made the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation (known today as Hawking radiation ). He has also published several works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general, including the runaway bestseller “A Brief History of Time”, and has come to be thought of as one of the greatest minds in physics since Albert Einstein. In his own words: “My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all”. Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 in Oxford, England, in the middle of World War II. After his birth in the relative safety of Oxford, the family moved back to London, where his father headed the division of parasitology at the National Institute for Medical Research, despite the continued risk of bombing from the German air forces. In 1950, Hawking moved with his family to St. Albans, where he attended St. Albans High School for Girls from 1950 to 1953 (boys could attend until the age of 10), and from the age of 11, he attended St. Albans School, where he was a good, but not an exceptional, student. In 1959, he won a scholarship to University College, Oxford, his father's old college, where he studied physics under Robert Berman (mainly because his own preference, mathematics, was not offered there), where he pursued his particular interests in thermodynamics, relativity, and quantum mechanics. Despite his sometimes lax study habits and his boredom with university life, he graduated in 1962 with a First Class BA degree."

Flag What disease does Stephen Hawking have and is he still alive? Answer by Slicks2341 Confidence votes 545Stephen Hawking is alive at time of writing (January 2012) Hawking has a motor neuron disease (MND) that deteriorates his upper and lower motor neurons. Typical forms of MND include ALS (aka Lou Gherig's disease), progressive lateral sclerosis (PLS), bulbar palsy's (which are diseases that specifically affect the corticobulbar tracts), and progressive muscular atrophy. It has been speculated that Hawking has ALS, but this would be an extraordinarily rare case of ALS, due to the fact that most people diagnosed with ALS live ~ 14 months from diagnosis to death. Some people live anywhere between 2-5 years with the disease. Hawking has been dealing with his condition for over 40 years, so the pathophysiology involved in his disease is markedly different from typical case presentations, which are very insidious and rapidly progressive.

And he’s done most of this work while confined to a wheelchair, brought on by the progressive neurological diseaseamyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Now Director of Research at the Institute for Theoretical Cosmology at Cambridge, Hawking is the former Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a post once held by Isaac Newton. He also wrote the international bestseller A Brief History of Time. The book spent more than four years on the London Sunday Times bestseller list—the longest run for any book in history. While many prominent physicists, cosmologists and astronomers have made important contributions to the study of quantum gravity and cosmology, the impact of Stephen Hawking's contributions to the field truly stand out. Although his work on black hole thermodynamics is perhaps the most well known, Hawking has also made major contributions to the study of singularity theorems in general relativity, black hole uniqueness, quantum fields in curved spacetimes, Euclidean quantum gravity, the wave function of the universe and many other areas as well. In the late 1960's, Hawking proved that a singularity must have occurred at the birth of the universe. Between 1965 and 1970 Hawking worked on singularities in the theory of general relativity devising new mathematical techniques to study this area of cosmology."

"text": "Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in 'The Theory of Everything' Liam Daniel—Focus Features / AP Images By Eliana Dockterman November 7, 2014The new movie The Theory of Everything, out Nov. 7, traces the marriage of Stephen and Jane Hawking, who quickly wed after then-21-year-old Stephen was diagnosed with ALS and given just two years to live in 1962. They fought the disease, and Hawking is still alive today — and a world-renowned scientist and author too. However, the couple struggled with their marriage as Stephen’s health slowly deteriorated and Jane was forced to care for both him and their three children. How much of the movie is true is difficult to determine. The film is based on Jane’s 2007 memoir Traveling to Infinity: My Life With Stephen, but that memoir is a revised version of her first book on their marriage— Music to Move the Stars, published in 1999—which tells a more negative version of their life together. For what it’s worth, Stephen Hawking saw the film and declared it “broadly true. ”Here’s what we know from what Jane and Stephen have written about their marriage. Stephen Hawking was a coxswain on the rowing team Ruling: Fact Here’s a picture. Jane and Stephen Hawking met at a New Year’s party at Cambridge Ruling: Fact Jane and Stephen do meet at a party, like in the movie. He was a doctoral student and she was a literature undergraduate."

One of the reasons bobcats are nervous around people is because they have the role of prey as well as hunter. At 2 to 3 feet long, bobcats are small enough to be threatened by other carnivores such as coyotes. Bobcat kittens in particular are a potential prey item for many predators. Because of the threats bobcats face, the maximum age in the wild is about 12 years and the average is about 6. In captivity, with no threats, a bobcat can live to 30 years or more. Birds Hawks, eagles and owls all can and will take bobcat kittens or juveniles. Mothers stay with their kittens until their offspring can fend for themselves.

But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer. \"\" He jokingly added: \"\"And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it. \"\" Related Articles Zeta-Jones: I was a mess after husband Michael's diagnosis28 Jul 2014Michael Douglas did not fear death from cancer - because he was too angry with his doctors for missing it09 Sep 2013New screening test cuts cervical cancer cases by one third14 Jun 2013How risky is oral sex?03 Jun 2013No sex, please: Californians are too busy reflecting03 Jun 2013Dare you give your son the cancer sex talk?09 Jun 2013According to Cancer Research UK, HPV affects most sexually active people at some stage in their life, but is usually fought off by the immune system without causing harm.

Settling an old score with avaricious mine owner Bruce Cabot, Wayne plans to steal a $500,000 gold shipment from his enemy. Douglas, at first hired by Cabot to kill Wayne, goes along with the robbery scheme. Also in on the plan is Howard Keel, superbly cast as a world-weary, wisecracking Native American (it's the sort of part that nowadays would go to Graham Greene). The titular war wagon is the armor-plated, Gatling-gun fortified stagecoach wherein Cabot's gold is transported. Thus the stage is set for a slam-bang finale, and director Burt Kennedy isn't about to disappoint the viewers.

After graduating from high school in the nearby steel town of Gary, Indiana, Malden worked in the industry for three years until 1934, when he was frustrated with the drudgery of manual labor. He left to attend the Arkansas State Teacher's College, then the Goodman Theater Dramatic School and never looked back. Three years later, he went to New York City to find fame. Malden rapidly became involved with the Group Theater, an organization of actors and directors who were changing the face of theater, where he attracted the attention of director Elia Kazan. With Kazan directing, Karl starred in plays such as \"\"All My Sons\"\" by Arthur Miller and \"\"A Streetcar Named Desire\"\" by Tennessee Williams. While Malden had one screen appearance before his military service in World War II, in They Knew What They Wanted (1940), he did not establish his film career until after the war. Malden won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as Mitch in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and showed his range as an actor in roles such as that of Father Corrigan in On the Waterfront (1954) and the lecherous Archie Lee in Baby Doll (1956). He starred in dozens of films such as Fear Strikes Out (1957), Pollyanna (1960), Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), Gypsy (1962), How the West Was Won (1962), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), and Patton (1970) as General Omar Bradley. In the early 1970s, he built a television career on the tough but honest screen persona he had created when he starred as Detective Mike Stone on The Streets of San Francisco (1972), co-starring with Michael Douglas."

Viewers may find the lyrics to that title tune rather corny, but when Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas stroll on screen in their stylish 40's suits and hats, few will feel inclined to argue with the sentiment. Watching the grace and panache with which Mr. Lancaster, 72, and Mr. Douglas, 69, make mincemeat of a variety of thugs and buffoons half their age, most viewers will probably agree with the 17-year-old boy who wrote on his preview card, ''I can't wait to get old. ''Mr. Douglas and Mr. Lancaster have by now established themselves as one of the memorable male teams of the movies -along with Tracy and Gable, Cagney and O'Brien, Newman and Redford. Before making ''Tough Guys,'' they'd starred together in four other films, a stage play, and even in a musical benefit at the London Palladium. '' People seem to feel there's a certain chemistry between us,'' Mr. Lancaster says. '' After we appeared together on the 1985 Oscar show, a couple of young writers, James Orr and Jim Cruickshank, felt we had something special together and started writing the script for ''Tough Guys. '' In ''Tough Guys,'' Mr. Lancaster plays Harry Doyle and Mr. Douglas plays Archie Long; they are train robbers released from prison after 30 years and attempting to adjust to a world that has undergone radical changes in their absence. Eventually, feeling frustrated by the demeaning positions offered to them as law-abiding senior citizens, they decide to return to larceny."

In its ongoing attempts to define, understand, and categorize disorders, and determine the best treatments, the medical specialty of psychiatry is always up against the protean complexity of the human brain.

It's not surprising, therefore, that there's an uneasy tension behind the pair's bonhomie in this rugged comedy adventure. Yet nobody was better at directing this kind of romp than Burt Kennedy, who not only exploits the rivalry between his stars, but also gets superior supporting performances from Bruce Cabot, Keenan Wynn and Howard Keel (cunningly cast as an acerbic native American). The action might have been a little more robust, but the wagon itself (with its swivelling turret and machine gun) is a real scene-stealer. Summary A convict is released from prison and swears vengeance on the corrupt mining contractor who took his gold-rich land. On the way, he encounters an old enemy who reveals that the gold from the mine is about to be transported in an armoured stagecoach - and suggests they join forces to steal it.

He is irritable, racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, and generally lacking in social skills. He is markedly anxious when there is a change to his routine and he is unable to eat unless he goes to the same restaurant each day where he sits at the same table and is served by Carol, played by Helen Hunt. Carol seems to be the only person who can tolerate Melvin’s rude behavior. One morning, Carol stops coming to work so that she can take care of her sick son."

Share 2K Pin 1K Tweet 4 Stumble 1 Yum 1Ever wonder why some people seldom brush their teeth and have few, if any, cavities, whereas others brush and floss religiously and still have constant dental problems? Or why isolated peoples who eat traditional, whole food diets, may have never used a toothbrush, and yet have perfect, straight teeth with no decay throughout their lives? A lot of people believe that the central cause of tooth decay is the fermentation of foods on your teeth. This theory is like blaming the rain because your roof is leaking. When the roof of your home is sealed and well cared for, it will not leak, no matter how much rain falls. Similarly, when your tooth enamel is strong and healthy, your teeth will not be affected by the conditions in the mouth, or by the products of food being left on the teeth, no matter how much you brush (or don’t). So this theory is only partially true. Trying to eliminate bacteria from our mouth to prevent tooth decay is similar to trying to stop the rain from falling in order to prevent leaky roofs. The theory that bacteria in our mouth produce acids, which then cause tooth decay is also false."

"text": "\"Apr 6, 2015ESPN.com news services Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres couldn't start the season without yet another blockbuster deal by first-year general manager A. J. Preller. Preller pushed ahead with his remarkable makeover of the Padres on Sunday when he acquired All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel and outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. from the Atlanta Braves for outfielders Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin, plus two minor leaguers and a draft pick. Editor's Picks Sweet Spot: Padres one step closer to Series After a flurry of offseason moves, the question for Padres GM A. J. Preller is whether he has built a baseball team or a collection of talent, writes David Schoenfield. Braves win big in Kimbrel deal The trade sending Craig Kimbrel and Melvin Upton Jr. to San Diego looks like a much better deal for the Atlanta Braves than it does for the Padres, Keith Law writes. While Upton will be reunited with his younger brother, Padres left fielder Justin Upton, this deal centered on Kimbrel, whom Preller called \"\"an A-level performer. \"\" The Padres take on $80.35 million in guaranteed salaries to Kimbrel and Melvin Upton while shedding the $24 million guaranteed still owed to the oft-injured Quentin and Maybin. \"\" With the chance to acquire Kimbrel, who's one of the best in the game, if not the best, it was a price we were willing to pay,\"\" Preller said during a conference call. \"\" He's an A-level performer. He's 26 years old. It's an opportunity to strengthen our club. \"\""

"text": "What Is a Streamline Refinance? Colin Robertson March 30, 2012 97 Comments »Mortgage Q&A: “What is a streamline refinance?”While qualifying for a mortgage refinance is generally a lot harder than it has been in the past (now that lenders actually care how your mortgage performs), there are less cumbersome options available. In fact, many lenders offer “streamlined” alternatives to existing borrowers to lower costs and make refinancing more accessible. Plenty of banks out there have their own “streamline refinance” programs that come with looser credit scoring requirements, easier income and asset verification, and limited paperwork. And in some cases, you don’t even need to order a home appraisal. Put simply, a streamline refinance takes a lot of the legwork (and time) out of the process, and may increase your chances of approval. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] However, streamline refinances also come with their own list of requirements, namely that the refinance has a “net tangible benefit.” In other words, it should help the homeowner, not just put money in the pocket of the loan originator. This generally means that the mortgage rate should drop by an amount that will eclipse any related fees, and/or that the loan is converted from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage."

"text": "\"Literary Foils: Definition and Examplesby Liz Bureman | 8 Comments Since my last post, I’ve almost finished Tomcat In Love, and it has been somewhat of an exercise in frustration. This isn’t due to the book itself; it’s more due to the fact that the narrator is one of the most profoundly annoying protagonists I’ve ever encountered in fiction. He is a narcissist with a complete lack of self-awareness (at least until the last forty pages), and an unrepentant womanizer. Early on in the novel, we’re introduced to a woman who immediately provides a voice of reason, and helps serve as a reader surrogate. Everything that Thomas believes himself to be, Donna firmly states this is not the case, and her protests to his behavior make his ridiculous narcissism stand out even more boldly. She is a perfect foil to Thomas’s insanity. Great foils: Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Photo by JD Hancock (Creative Commons)What Is a Foil? Most of us have heard the word “foil” used in a literary context, and when used to describe a character, it means that that character serves to highlight one or more attributes of another character, often the protagonist, by providing a contrast. In the Harry Potter series, Draco Malfoy is a foil to Harry Potter."

Melvin Poindexter Miller had been torn between pursuing a career in dance or the ministry. After he was accepted into a seminary, though, the decision seemed behind him. While he was a student, he took a position as a youth minister at Riverside Church in Manhattan and was soon excelling at both callings. He introduced step dancing and pumped new life into the ministry, growing it significantly from 50 over a couple of years. But at the height of his success, he left to take a less prominent job with another church, fearing that with all the attention, he would be exposed as a gay man and that his career would be ruined. “I was in the closet,” he said. “ I thought it would be bad for my career. ”His decision was part of a pattern of running away from situations that might reveal his sexuality, but that had finally ended by the time he returned to Riverside Church on March 14 to marry Leigh Jeremy Britton. Hundreds of friends from all facets of their lives attended the ceremony in the venerable stone sanctuary, proving that contrary to Mr. Miller’s occasional fears, he and his spouse had very much been accepted all along.

It was the morning of June 15, the first day Division I basketball coaches are allowed to offer scholarships to soon-to-be juniors, and it turns out the younger Booker had just received a call they had both been waiting on for a very long time. “ He told me that Missouri had just called, and they offered him a scholarship,” Melvin said. “ He was definitely excited.\"\" With good reason. The offer officially opened the door for the high-scoring 6-foot-3 shooting guard – a four-star prospect who is rated by Rivals as the No. 31 overall player in the class of 2014 – to potentially follow in his father’s footsteps at Missouri, where he starred at point guard from 1991-1994. “"

Herb Simon had asked the court order to keep documents on the matter under seal, arguing a public release would create 'significant risk of substantial harm' to people who signed a confidential settlement in 2012 pertaining to Melvin Simon's estate. The brothers owned the Pacers together from 1983 until months before Melvin Simon's 2009 death, when an agreement transferred full ownership to Herb. News of Herb's request only came to light after The Indianapolis Star acquired a court document filed by Bren Simon, Melvin's widow, that contained visible wording meant to be redacted. The document also included a note from Herb Simon that said Bren Simon had been in litigation with Melvin's children regarding his estate since 2009. Herb Simon's filing said he has 'consistently and earnestly' tried to help the family resolve the issues as an effort to 'uphold the Simon name, to preserve some measure of family harmony, and to facilitate the charitable giving that his brother Melvin intended under his estate plans'. The brothers became billionaires from their Simon Property Group shopping mall business. Bren Simon is currently also in litigation trying to recover more than $21 million in federal taxes she paid, saying the Internal Revenue Service improperly interpreted as a gift the $83 million that her husband received from the Pacers ownership reorganization. The brothers reorganized the Pacers ownership after Melvin no longer wanted to help fund the team, which had been suffering financial trouble since 2004, missing the NBA playoffs four years in a row in the following years.+3Herb and Melvin Simon (pictured in foreground) owned the Pacers together from 1983 until 2009, when Melvin decided he no longer wanted to help fund the struggling NBA team+3Document also included a note from Herb Simon (pictured watching a Pacers game earlier this year) that said his brother's widow, Bren Simon, had been in litigation with Melvin's children regarding his estate since 2009The visible wording from the document where redactions were intended showed up in Bren Simon's request to move the case to federal court in Indianapolis.

Share 2K Pin 1K Tweet 4 Stumble 1 Yum 1Ever wonder why some people seldom brush their teeth and have few, if any, cavities, whereas others brush and floss religiously and still have constant dental problems? Or why isolated peoples who eat traditional, whole food diets, may have never used a toothbrush, and yet have perfect, straight teeth with no decay throughout their lives? A lot of people believe that the central cause of tooth decay is the fermentation of foods on your teeth. This theory is like blaming the rain because your roof is leaking. When the roof of your home is sealed and well cared for, it will not leak, no matter how much rain falls. Similarly, when your tooth enamel is strong and healthy, your teeth will not be affected by the conditions in the mouth, or by the products of food being left on the teeth, no matter how much you brush (or don’t). So this theory is only partially true. Trying to eliminate bacteria from our mouth to prevent tooth decay is similar to trying to stop the rain from falling in order to prevent leaky roofs. The theory that bacteria in our mouth produce acids, which then cause tooth decay is also false."

"text": "\"Steve Gleason diagnosed with ALSSep 25, 2011Associated Press Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment NEW ORLEANS -- Steve Gleason may always be remembered most for his blocked punt on the night the Louisiana Superdome reopened for the first time after Hurricane Katrina -- a play that stirred an already emotional crowd into a deafening, drink-spilling frenzy. The retired New Orleans Saints folk hero only hopes he can continue to lift people's spirits by the way he handles what until now has been a private struggle with ALS, a debilitating and ultimately fatal disease for which there currently is no cure. On Sunday, five years to the day after his memorable play became a symbol of a devastated community's will to carry on, Gleason, 34, went public with his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. \"\" In a way, I see this as an opportunity to continue to be an inspiration, maybe even more so than I ever have been,\"\" said Gleason, a 5-foot-11, former Washington State standout who forged an eight-year NFL career in New Orleans as a special teams leader and reserve safety. Now the native of Spokane, Wash., who settled in New Orleans after retiring in 2008, is setting up an organization called Team Gleason. Its mission is to improve the lives of those who have ALS, the symptoms of which include gradual paralysis. \"\" You have to continue to do things you love,\"\" Gleason said. \"\" There's technology available that, if I'm proactive, I can continue to do some of those things. You have to engage in passionate, remarkable human relationships, which has always been important to me. \"\" Gleason was an honorary captain for the coin toss of Sunday's game against Houston, walking with a limp to the center of the field with his hand on quarterback Drew Brees ' shoulder."

"text": "Understanding your prostate pathology report At least initially, the pathology report is one of the most important factors in the management of your prostate health, especially if you have been diagnosed with cancer. For example, it can provide valuable information about the location and extent of the cancer, thus helping your physician decide whether to recommend active surveillance, hormone treatment, radiation therapy, or surgery. With that in mind, you might think that preparing and reading a pathology report would be straightforward — but unfortunately the opposite is true. Pathology reports are not prepared uniformly (compare Figures 3 and 4, below, for example). In fact, they can vary considerably even within a single institution. They may not be labeled thoroughly or contain enough specifics for you and your doctor to make a good treatment decision. At the same time, the information that is included in the report may be difficult to decipher. You may also get conflicting interpretations depending on how the report was prepared and who is reading it. It is entirely possible for two pathologists to look at the same biopsy slides and yet disagree about whether you have cancer!

"text": "The Pink Panther Strikes Again – A Full-Length Play November 28, 2014 · by The Thorn · in Literature . · Summary: The comic essence of the marvelous film with all its verbal and visual humor has been captured here in an entirely practical play that is both easy and fun to stage. The world’s most unusual criminologist, Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau a role originally created by Peter Sellers, fights for his life and for the future of all mankind in the most bizarre and dangerous caper of his brilliantly successful and utterly clumsy career. *********************************************************************** The Pink Panther Strikes Again – A Full-length play, by William Gleason 6.5When I decided to write up Steve Martin’s soul-sucking reboots of ‘The Pink Panther’, I turned to my local library for comfort. I didn’t want to have to pay to watch them, whether it be through rental or -god forbid- purchase. And so I went looking through the library’s vast collection for anything Pink Panther-related. This is how I stumbled upon ‘ The Inspector ‘. It’s also how I came across this play based on ‘ The Pink Panther Strikes Again ‘, as authored by William Gleason (with liberal doses of Blake Edwards and Frank Waldman). It’s essentially a re-interpretation of the original film’s plot with additional scenes and dialogues, conceived with the stage in mind. It was first published in 1981."

"text": "Overview During active surveillance for prostate cancer, your doctor closely monitors your prostate cancer for any changes. Active surveillance for prostate cancer is sometimes called expectant management or watchful waiting. No cancer treatment is provided during active surveillance for prostate cancer. This means medications, radiation and surgery aren't used. Periodic tests are done to check for signs the cancer is growing. You might consider active surveillance for prostate cancer if your cancer is small, expected to grow very slowly, confined to one area of your prostate, and isn't causing signs or symptoms. If you have other health problems that limit your life expectancy, active surveillance for prostate cancer may also be a reasonable approach. Why it's done Active surveillance for prostate cancer is used to avoid treatment side effects in men with a very low risk of prostate cancer progression. Because prostate cancer grows very slowly, men who are diagnosed when the cancer is very small may never have signs and symptoms of the disease. Many may live out their normal life spans before the cancer ever grows large enough to require treatment."

There are five stages: stages 1 through 4 and recurrent cancer. Tests used to determine stage include the digital rectal exam, PSA test, transrectal ultrasound, and biopsy. Stages of Prostate Cancer: An Overview A prostate cancer diagnosis is made by looking at prostate tissue under a microscope. A pathologist (a doctor who identifies diseases by studying tissues under a microscope) will look at the biopsied tissue for cancer cells. Once the disease has been identified, the doctor must determine both the stage and grade of the prostate cancer. To plan your prostate cancer treatment, your doctor needs to know the extent (stage) of the disease. This is based on: The size of the tumor Whether the cancer has spread outside the prostate If the cancer has spread, where it has spread. Specific Stages The stages of prostate cancer are as follows: Stage I: The cancer cannot be felt during a digital rectal exam (DRE). It is found by chance when surgery is done for another reason, usually for benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH )."

"text": "<< Back to December 2013The Avodart® - Proscar® Debate December 2013By William Faloon Elevated levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) contribute to benign prostate enlargement. 1Based on evidence that DHT is also involved in prostate cancer, 2 two large studies were conducted in aging men to see if drugs that reduce DHT also lower prostate cancer risk. 3-5One study evaluated the drug Avodart ® (dutasteride) and the other Proscar ® (finasteride). 3,4 Both of these drugs inhibit the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, thus blocking the conversion of testosterone to much more powerful DHT. 5Findings from the two studies showed both drugs reduce prostate cancer risk by about 23-25%. 3,4 These drugs also substantially reduce symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia. 1,5Some doctors, however, were concerned that in men who did develop prostate cancer, more in the group taking either of these drugs (Avodart ® or Proscar ®) developed high-grade prostate cancer. 3,4 This is a justified concern. High-grade prostate cancer requires aggressive therapeutic intervention and is more challenging to cure. 6This article will reveal overlooked findings showing that Avodart ® or Proscar ® do not increase high-grade prostate cancer risk and may reduce it."

Blood in urine and pain during urination; lethargy, incontinence, body aches, sexual difficulties and a frequent need to urinate, especially at night. Any symptom that arises rapidly or is causing severe pain should be reported to one's physician immediately. Many patients become alarmed when they see a symptom like blood in the urine, then they procrastinate and do not seek medical attention promptly. This stage is very dangerous, upon spotting a possible symptom of prostate cancer head to the emergency room or call the doctor.

[ 1] Prostate cancer may be cured when localized, and it frequently responds to treatment when widespread. The rate of tumor growth varies from very slow to moderately rapid, and some patients may have prolonged survival even after the cancer has metastasized to distant sites, such as bone. The 5-year relative survival rate for men diagnosed in the United States from 2001 to 2007 with local or regional disease was 100%, and the rate for distant disease was 28.7%; a 99% survival rate was observed for all stages combined. [ 2] The approach to treatment is influenced by age and coexisting medical problems. Side effects of various forms of treatment should be considered in selecting appropriate management. Many patients—especially those with localized tumors—may die of other illnesses without ever having suffered disability from the cancer, even if managed conservatively without an attempt at curative therapy. [ 3, 4] In part, these favorable outcomes are likely the result of widespread screening with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which can identify patients with asymptomatic tumors that have little or no lethal potential. [ 5] There is a large number of these clinically indolent tumors, estimated from autopsy series of men dying of causes unrelated to prostate cancer to be in the range of 30% to 70% of men older than 60 years. [ 6, 7]Because diagnostic methods have changed over time, any analysis of survival after treatment of prostate cancer and comparison of the various treatment strategies is complicated by the evidence of increasing diagnosis of nonlethal tumors."

"text": "main menu - articles - prostate - stories - sexuality - resources - glossary - searchfrom The PSA Menu Volume V * Number 1 * Winter 2000What Happens if PSA Comes Back After Surgery? The return of PSA is a possibility that strikes terror in the heart of every radical prostatectomy patient; in fact, for many men, the dreaded follow-up PSA tests after surgery are almost worse than having the operation itself. What will you do if your PSA is no longer undetectable? The good news is, you may not need to do anything for years. Does the man have a local recurrence of cancer that would respond to radiation, or does this represent micrometastases to lymph nodes and bone? Until now, there has been no way to tell. In a landmark paper -- the largest, most complete study of the return of PSA after radical prostatectomy -- Hopkins doctors have developed guidelines to help patients and doctors know what to do if PSA comes back. Their remarkable effort -- an elegantly simple chart that accurately predicts a man's risk of developing metastatic cancer -- is the post-operative equivalent of the ''Partin tables,'' developed by urologist Alan W. Partin, M. D., and urologist-in-chief Patrick C. Walsh, M. D. Like those now-indispensable tables, this chart has the potential to revolutionize the way doctors and patients make decisions about what to do next. '' PSA is very sensitive in detecting any recurrence of cancer. That's because only prostate cells make PSA -- so if it goes up after a radical prostatectomy, it means prostate cells are still present somewhere."

[ << Previous Thread | Next Thread >> ]Bob Cape Regular Member Date Joined Jun 2010 Total Posts : 416Posted 1/5/2012 8:47 AM (GMT -6)Hello folks. As I close in on 2 years since the day I was told I had pca (I remember it like it was 2 hours ago) and as I contemplate the physical and emotional toll of my prostate cancer, the subsequent surgery and radiation, etc.. I was wondering: Since those without a prostate dont produce sperm, dont ejaculate, does this result in pent up pressure that we dont otherwise account for? I understand the release was of sperm that is no longer being produced, but there was a physical process that the body no longer experienced (anotherwords, nobody informed my testes that there was an \"\"incident\"\" further back in the chain)... Ejaculating always relieved stress for me, and my partners along the way, as best as I can tell. The inability to do so MUST have an abnormal effect on the body and the mind. While i'm current psa <.01, I think I might have a degree of post traumatic stress syndrome, and i've been wondering if the lack of a release (through ejaculation). Sorry if I was unable to articulate my points in a better manner... Good thoughts to all.. Thoughts?

That includes the rich and the famous. Professional athletes, Olympic gold medalists, government officials, musicians and world-renowned actors, such as Steve Mc Queen, all have died from mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that is diagnosed in an estimated 3,000 Americans each year. The only common link to all of them is an exposure to asbestos, the naturally occurring mineral that is toxic and potentially fatal when its fibers are released into the air and inhaled or ingested. It can take anywhere from 15 to 50 years after exposure before the symptoms become obvious. Here is a Who’s Who of the most recognizable people who fought mesothelioma: Steve Mc Queen, Actor (1930-1980)Steve Mc Queen, nicknamed The King of Cool, was well known for his anti-hero roles in “The Magnificent Seven,” “Wanted: Dead or Alive,” and “Sand Pebbles.” By the early 1970s, he was one of America’s highest-paid actors. Mc Queen believed his exposure to asbestos started in the U. S. Marines Corps, then continued during his days racing motorcycles and cars, his passion, when he wore the flame-retardant driver suits. He took his fight against mesothelioma to Mexico, where he traveled in search of alternative treatments. He died from a heart attack, shortly after surgery to remove a large tumor."

It is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum, near the base of the penis. Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in American men. Many other men have the disease, but have not been diagnosed. This is because prostate cancer has few symptoms early on. Prostate cancer is common, but it is not always dangerous. This is because it usually grows very slowly. It affects older men; the average age at diagnosis is 70."

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a disease spread by an infected tsetse fly, found in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Sleeping sickness is caused by two different parasites, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Most reported cases of sleeping sickness are caused by T. b. gambiense. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against sleeping sickness. What is my risk? The risk for most travellers is low. The risk is higher for travellers in sub-Saharan Africa who are:visiting or living in rural areasvisiting game parks or other areas with thick vegetation How is it transmitted? Sleeping sickness is most commonly spread through the bite of an infected tsetse fly. Even in areas where the disease occurs, only a small percentage of flies are generally infected."

Most cases of sleeping sickness (98%) are the chronic West African form but the number of new cases have fallen in recent years from 27,862 in 1999 to 6,228 in 2013 (78% reduction). At the same time, the number of new cases of the acute East African form has fallen from 619 to 86 over the same time period (86% fall). Most East African Sleeping Sickness occurs in 13 countries with the highest incidence in Zambia, Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania. Cases of West African Sleeping Sickness are documented annually in 24 countries with most in The Central African Republic, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, northern Uganda, Chad, Angola and Sudan. Thirty five million people and 25 million cattle are at risk. Regional epidemics of the disease have been the cause of major health and economic disasters. Occasionally, a traveler to endemic counties contracts Sleeping Sickness. About one case of East African Sleeping Sickness is imported into the United States each year, usually in someone who has recently travelled to the region."

They are flagellated (in pairs), and are found in both free-living and parasitic form. The taxonomy of Euglenozoa has long been a subject of debate: while some euglenoid genera possess chloroplasts and are thus classified with algae, the majority of Euglenozoa's genera are colorless and without chloroplasts, which do not adhere to typical algal characteristics. Instead researchers now believe that any euglenids with chloroplasts acquired them through endosymbiosis with green algae. Genetic studies show that, despite the name's suffix (\"\"zoa\"\" meaning animal) members of Euglenozoa are neither plant nor animal--rather they are the living relatives of some of the earliest unicelluar organisms (eukaryotes). Some members of the group are parasitic, including [trypanosoma.html Trypanosoma] and [leishmania.html Leishmania], and can cause severe illness in their human hosts."

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Invertebrates are very common vectors of disease. A vector is an organism which spreads disease from one host to another. Invertebrates spread bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens by two main mechanisms. Either via their bite, as in the case of malaria spread by mosquitoes, or via their faeces, as in the case of Chagas' Disease spread by Triatoma bugs or epidemic typhus spread by human body lice. Many invertebrates are responsible for transmitting diseases. Mosquitoes are perhaps the best known invertebrate vector and transmit a wide range of tropical diseases including malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever. Another large group of vectors are flies. Sandfly species transmit the disease leishmaniasis, by acting as vectors for protozoan Leishmania species, and tsetse flies transmit protozoan trypansomes ( Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypansoma brucei rhodesiense) which cause African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). Ticks and lice form another large group of invertebrate vectors. The bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme Disease, is transmitted by ticks and members of the bacterial genus Rickettsia are transmitted by lice."

KEYWORDSfor searching the Internet and other reference sources Cestodes Flukes Food borne diseases Infection Infestation Nematodes Protozoa Trematodes Tropical diseases Waterborne diseases Tickborne diseases Vectors Most of the world's 6 billion people are infected with parasites, which are primitive animals that live in or on the bodies of humans, animals, or insects. Often the parasites do little damage, and people may be unaware they are infected. But in any given year, more than a billion people, many of them children, fall sick with parasitic diseases, and millions of them die. Where Do Parasitic Illnesses Occur? Parasites live everywhere, but they particularly thrive in warm, moist climates. So they are most common in sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, southeastern Asia, and Central and South America. Some nations in these areas are too poor to take measures that could prevent parasitic infections—such as building water and sewage treatment plants, controlling mosquitoes, or providing adequate medical care."

It is probably best known for its dual nature: although remarkably effective in destroying certain living things that are harmful to plants and animals, it can also be extremely dangerous to humans and the environment. The abbreviation DDT stands for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. DDT was first produced in the laboratory in 1873. For more than half a century, it was little more than a laboratory curiosity—a complicated synthetic (produced by scientists) compound with no apparent use. Then, in 1939, Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Müller (1899–1965) discovered that DDT was highly poisonous to insects. The discovery was very important because of its potential for use in killing insects that cause disease and eat agricultural crops. For his work, Müller was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1948. DDT as an insecticide During and after World War II (1939–45), DDT became extremely popular among public health workers, farmers, and foresters. Peak production of the compound reached 386 million pounds (175 million kilograms) globally in 1970."

Female tsetse mate just once. After 7 - 9 days she produces a single egg which develops into a larva within her uterus. About nine days later, the mother produces a larva which burrows into the ground where it pupates. The mother continues to produce a single larva at roughly nine day intervals for her entire life. The adult fly emerges from the pupa in the ground after about 30 days. Over a period of 12-14 days it matures, mates and, if it is a female, deposits its first larva. Thus 50 days elapse between the emergence of one female fly and the subsequent emergence of the first of its progeny. This life cycle, with a slow reproductive rate and substantial parental investment in the care of young, is a relatively unusual example of an insect with a so-called 'K-type' life history. This slow rate of reproduction means that tsetse populations can be eradicated by killing just 2-3% of the female population per day."

Protists are unicellular organisms that are not animals, fungi or plants. Instead, they are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. Protists tend to remain in environments containing liquid water. Their natural function of these organisms is to serve as primary producers in ecosystems, especially in oceans. On the other hand, they also cause certain diseases in humans. Some common diseases caused by protists are: Malaria Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protists of the Plasmodium genus. This mosquito-borne disease is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly the areas below the Sahara Dessert in Africa.

"text": "\"Modes of Disease Transmission Learning Objectives Describe the different types of disease reservoirs Compare contact, vector, and vehicle modes of transmission Identify important disease vectors Explain the prevalence of nosocomial infections Understanding how infectious pathogens spread is critical to preventing infectious disease. Many pathogens require a living host to survive, while others may be able to persist in a dormant state outside of a living host. But having infected one host, all pathogens must also have a mechanism of transfer from one host to another or they will die when their host dies. Pathogens often have elaborate adaptations to exploit host biology, behavior, and ecology to live in and move between hosts. Hosts have evolved defenses against pathogens, but because their rates of evolution are typically slower than their pathogens (because their generation times are longer), hosts are usually at an evolutionary disadvantage. This section will explore where pathogens survive—both inside and outside hosts—and some of the many ways they move from one host to another. Reservoirs and Carriers For pathogens to persist over long periods of time they require reservoir s where they normally reside. Reservoirs can be living organisms or nonliving sites. Nonliving reservoirs can include soil and water in the environment. These may naturally harbor the organism because it may grow in that environment."

[ 1] [2] [3] Tsetse flies include all the species in the genus Glossina, which are placed in their own family, Glossinidae. The tsetse are obligate parasites that live by feeding on the blood of vertebrate animals. Tsetse have been extensively studied because of their role in transmitting disease. They have a prominent economic impact in sub-Saharan Africa as the biological vectors of trypanosomes, which cause human sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomiasis. Tsetse are multivoltine and long-lived, typically producing about four broods per year, and up to 31 broods over their lifespans. [ 4]Tsetse can be distinguished from other large flies by two easily observed features. Tsetse fold their wings completely when they are resting so that one wing rests directly on top of the other over their abdomens. Tsetse also have a long proboscis, which extends directly forward and is attached by a distinct bulb to the bottom of their heads. Fossilized tsetse have been recovered from the Florissant Fossil Beds in Colorado, [4] laid down some 34 million years ago. ["

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Parasitic nutrition is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition where a parasitic organism lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism (a host) and gets nutrition directly from the body of the host. Since these parasites derive nourishment from their host, this symbiotic interaction is often harmful to the host. Parasites depend on their host for survival, since the host provides nutrition and protection. As a result of this dependence, parasites have considerable modifications to optimise parasitic nutrition and therefore their survival. Parasites are divided into two groups: endoparasites and ectoparasites. Endoparasites are parasites that live inside the body of the host, whereas ectoparasites are parasites that live on the outer surface of the host and generally attach themselves during feeding. [ 1] Due to the different strategies of endoparasites and ectoparasites, they require different adaptations to derive nutrients from their host. Parasites require nutrients to carry out essential functions including reproduction and growth. Essentially, the nutrients required from the host are carbohydrates, amino acids and lipids. Carbohydrates are utilised to generate energy, whilst amino acids and fatty acids are involved in the synthesis of macromolecules and the production of eggs. ["

Both protozoan species are morphologically indistinguishable, but have drastically different epidemiological features. Several species of hematophagous glossina, commonly known as tsetse flies, are the vectors of these related diseases, and are responsible for cyclical transmission of the parasitic protozoan between numerous vertebrate hosts. Both forms of sleeping sickness affect the central nervous system. The term “sleeping sickness” is derived from the West African form of trypanosomiasis, primarily because invasion of the cerebrospinal fluid and brain after infection of the blood is often delayed, resulting in symptoms of extreme fatigue that can last for several years before the severe phase of the disease sets in; toxemia, coma and death. In contrast, the typical East African form of trypanosomiasis is characterized by rapid and acute development of the disease, and untreated patients can die within weeks or months of infection. East & West African Sleeping Sickness (Map provided by WHO)Although epidemics of sleeping sickness were more rampant in the past, the most recent WHO estimates put 60 million people at risk of HAT today with approximately 500,000 people currently with infections. The disease is discontinuously spread over 9 million square kilometers and affects populations across 37 sub-Saharan countries. Animal trypanosomiasis, caused by a wider number of trypanosome species and carried with higher prevalence by a greater number of glossina species, is invariably the greater epidemic across the African continent with dire economic consequences."

Wet mounts should be made to observe any motility and smears of these bodily fluids after concentration techniques have been preformed should be made. ( 1)Signs and Symptoms The course of human African trypanosomiasis has two stages. Stage 1 is occupation of the blood by the parasite. However, once it crosses the brain-blood barrier and enters the CNS it is considered in a secondary very deadly phase. ( 3)There are two forms of the disease caused by different subspecies Trypanosoma brucei. ( 3)The first is East African sleeping sickness caused by T. b. rhodesinese. Progression is very rapid, apperance of a charce at the site of the tick bite may occur, within 1-2 weeks of the inital bite fever, headache, muscle aches, joint aches appear and a rash may also develop. After a few weeks the parasite is able to invade the CNS and enter the second stage. At this point sever mental detoration occurs and death ensures (3)The Second is West African sleeping sickness which is caused by T. b. gambiense."

Chagas disease is common in South America, Central America and Mexico, the primary home of the triatomine bug. Rare cases of Chagas disease have been found in the southern United States, as well. Also called American trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease can infect anyone. Left untreated, Chagas disease later can cause serious heart and digestive problems. Treatment of Chagas disease focuses on killing the parasite in acute infection and managing signs and symptoms in later stages. You can take steps to prevent the infection, too. Symptoms Chagas disease can cause a sudden, brief illness (acute), or it may be a long-lasting (chronic) condition. Symptoms range from mild to severe, although many people don't experience symptoms until the chronic stage. Acute phase The acute phase of Chagas disease, which lasts for weeks or months, is often symptom-free."

typical of the amoebaspseudopods \"\"false-feet\"\"; a projection of the plasma membrane that allows movement for the amoebas; capture bacteria, small algae, and other protozoa through the ingestive process of phagocytosis; enclose the particles to form an organelle called a food vacuole, which then joins with lysosomesciliates covered with cilia which covers the whole entire body of the cell and allow them to move; ex: Balantidium coliacomplexans no cilia or flagella; these animal parasites have a complex life cycle including alternating sexual and asexual reproductive phases; these phases often occur in different hosts; require two or more different hosts to complete their life cycle - definitive and intermediate; ex: Plasmodium and Toxoplasmadefinitive host the host organism in which the sexual cycle occurs; an organism that harbors the adult, sexually mature form of a parasiteintermediate host the host organism in which the asexual cycle occurs; the host in which the larval or asexual stage of a parasite is found Leishmaniasis a vector born disease; biological vector: female sandfly; caused by Leishmania (flagellated), which can cause a cutaneous disease (Leishmania major) or a visceral disease (Leishmania donovani)Leishmania major flagellated; causes a minor cutaneous disease with ulcerative sores; called the \"\"Baghdad boil\"\"Leishmania donovani causes a visceral (body organ) disease called kala azar, meaning \"\"black fever\"\"; symptoms do not appear until several months after being bitten by a sandfly; infection of the white blood cells leads to irregular bouts of fever, swollen spleen and liver, progressive anemia, and emaciation; 90% of cases are fatal, if not treated Amoebiasis second leading cause of death from parasite diseases; parasitic form of gastroenteritis that occurs worldwide and primarily affects children and adults who are undernourished and living in unsanitary conditions; caused by Entamoeba histolytica - has pseudopodia; symptoms often are quite mild and can include diarrhea, stomach pain, and stomach cramping; the trophozoites multiply by binary fission and produce cysts, which are passed in the feces Entamoeba histolytica causative agent of amoebiasis; has pseudopodia; in nature, the protozoan exists in the cyst form, which enters the body by food or water contaminated with human or animal feces; the cysts pass through the stomach and emerge as amoebal trophozoites in the distant portion of the small intestine and in the large intestineamoebic dysentery a more severe form of amoebiasis; patients experience stomach pain, bloody stools, and fever; in rare cases, the parasites invade the blood and spread to the liver, lung, or brain, where fatal abscesses may develop Giardiasis most commonly detected protozoal disease of the intestinal tract; the disease is sometimes mistaken for viral gastroenteritis and is considered a type of traveler's diarrhea; caused by Giardia intestinalis (also called G. lamblia) - flagellated; commonly transmitted by food or water containing Giardia cysts and oral-fecal route; after about 7 days of ingestion, symptoms include nausea, vomiting, cramping, flatulence Giardia intestinalis also known as Giardia lamblia; flagellated; causes disease Giardiasis; has little suckers on the bottom that are going to attach to the lining of the intestinal wall Cryptosporidiosis major infection; caused by apicomplexans Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis; transmitted through close physical contact and also through contaminated water; immunocompromised patients have cholera-like diarrhea - these patients undergo dehydration and emaciation, and often die of the disease Cryptosporidium parvum and C hominis apicomplexans - no movement - that cause the major infection Cryptosporidiosis Cyclosporidiosis caused by the apicomplexan Cyclospora cayetanensis; transmitted through fresh produce and contaminated water; symptoms include abdominal cramping, flatulence, and diarrhea Trichomoniasis sexually transmitted disease; caused by Trichomonas vaginalis - flagellated; the incubation period is 5 to 28 days; in females: trichomoniasis is accompanied by intense itching (uticaria) and discomfort during urination and sexual intercourse; usually, a yellow-green, frothy discharge also is present; in males: asymptomatic Trichomonas vaginalis flagellated; causes Trichomoniasis; only has a trophozoite stage - definitive host is human Malaria blood disease caused by four species of the apicomplexan genus Plasmodium: P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. falciparum; biological vector: female Anapheles mosquito - its a reservoir; going to have profound anemia; small blood clots released in the body can cause damage to the small vessels which affect your heart, kidney, and liver, and your brain Anapheles mosquito female; biological vector of Malaria; being infected with Plasmodium causes it to bite more than it usually would Plasmodium acomplexan genus that causes the blood disease malaria Trypanosomiasis general name for two diseases caused by the parasitic species Trypanosoma - flagellated; the two diseases caused: African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease - both have different vectors African Sleeping Sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei - flagellated; biological vector: tsetse fly; symptoms: fever, headaches, changes in sleep patterns; once it gets to the brain, the person goes into a coma and eventually dies; two variations: gambiense and rhodesiense - die faster with the rhodesiense variation Chagas disease also known as American trypanosomiasis; found in South America and Central America; caused by Trypanosoma cruzi - flagellated; biological vector: reduviid bug; sneaky disease because patient may remain asymptomatic for 10 to 30 years; more of a chronic disease - no treatment and it can affect the CNSBabesiois found in the northeastern United States;

Four main developmental stages are formed: trypomastigotes (with a posterior kinetoplast and an emergent flagellum forming a long undulating membrane); epimastigotes (with an anterior kinetoplast and an emergent flagellum forming a short undulating membrane); promastigotes (with an anterior kinetoplast and a short emergent flagellum, but no undulating membrane); and amastigotes (with a kinetoplast but no emergent flagellum or undulating membrane). Many trypanosome species are parasitic only in insects whereas others are transmitted by insect vectors to a wide range of vertebrate hosts. Three main groups infect the blood and/or tissues of humans and animals causing severe clinical diseases:>salivarian trypanosomes which undergo anterior station (foregut) development in the insect vector and are transmitted via saliva to the blood of vertebrate hosts (e.g. tsetse flies transmit T. brucei which causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle)>stercorarian trypanosomes which undergo posterior station (hindgut) development in vectors and are transmitted via faecal contamination of bite site to infect blood and tissues of vertebrate hosts (e.g. reduviid bugs transmit T. cruzi which causes Chagas’ disease in humans)>leishmanias which develop in foregut of insect vectors and are transmitted via bite to the tissues of vertebrate hosts (e.g. sandflies transmit Leishmania spp. causing 3 types of leishmaniasis in humans and animals)Trypanosoma brucei [this species causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle]Parasite morphology: The parasite forms trypomastigotes in vertebrate hosts and epimastigotes in the insect vector. The trypomastigotes (with posterior kinetoplast and long undulating membrane) are pleomorphic in size ranging from 16-42µm in length by 1-3µm in width. They occur as elongate slender dividing forms (with long free flagellum) or stumpy non-dividing infective (metacyclic) forms (with no free flagellum). The epimastigotes (with anterior kinetoplast and short undulating membrane) are also variable in size ranging from 10-35µm in length by 1-3µm in width."

Vector-borne transmission occurs in the Americas. The insect vector is a triatomine bug that carries the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi which causes the disease. Chagas disease was once entirely confined to the Region of the Americas – principally Latin America – but has since spread to other continents. Trypanosoma cruzi infection is curable if treatment is initiated soon after infection. In the chronic phase, antiparasitic treatment can also prevent or curb disease progression. Up to 30% of chronically infected people develop cardiac alterations and up to 10% develop digestive, neurological or mixed alterations which may require specific treatment. Vector control is the most useful method to prevent Chagas disease in Latin America. Blood screening is vital to prevent infection through transfusion and organ transplantation. Diagnosis of infection in pregnant women, their newborns and siblings is essential."

African sleeping sickness is a devastating disease in equatorial Africa, which is spread through the bite of the tsetse fly. In this lesson, we will look at the causative agent, Trypanosoma, and the major characteristics of the disease. An Adaptive Protozoan Let's play make-believe for a minute: You have just graduated college and sweet, old grandma has rewarded you by sending you on an African safari. While out viewing the giraffes, you're bitten on the arm by a big, nasty fly. That fly injects you with a parasite. Fortunately, your body quickly identifies the parasite and begins building up an immune cell army to kill it. Within two weeks, the army is fully assembled, but the parasite is nowhere to be found. Instead, your body now has a new parasite that looks a bit like the original, but different enough that the army doesn't recognize it."

Epidemiology T. b. gambiense is found in the western and central regions of Africa, whereas T. b. rhodesiense is restricted to the eastern third of the continent (figure 2E). Most cases of sleeping sickness (98%) are the chronic West African form but the number of new cases have fallen in recent years from 27,862 in 1999 to 6,228 in 2013 (78% reduction). At the same time, the number of new cases of the acute East African form has fallen from 619 to 86 over the same time period (86% fall). Most East African Sleeping Sickness occurs in 13 countries with the highest incidence in Zambia, Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania. Cases of West African Sleeping Sickness are documented annually in 24 countries with most in The Central African Republic, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, northern Uganda, Chad, Angola and Sudan. Thirty five million people and 25 million cattle are at risk. Regional epidemics of the disease have been the cause of major health and economic disasters. Occasionally, a traveler to endemic counties contracts Sleeping Sickness.

It is caused by two protozoan parasites that are morphologically similar but cause dramatically different diseases. Parasites That Cause Sleeping Sickness These dangerous parasites are carried by the tsetse fly. East African sleeping sickness is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, whereas West African sleeping sickness, also known as Gambian sleeping sickness, is caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. East African sleeping sickness is a severe disease that typically leads to death within weeks or months if not treated. The initial bite leaves a distinctive sore spot called a chancre. Symptoms, which appear one to four weeks after infection, may include swollen lymph nodes, irritability, fever, severe headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and a skin rash. During the second stage of the disease, the parasite crosses the blood-brain barrier and attacks the central nervous system. Neurological complications include slurred speech, confusion, and difficulty with walking. Like East African sleeping sickness, West African (Gambian) sleeping sickness is a severe disease that is deadly if not treated."

This condition can occur without symptoms, but some of the common signs and symptoms of amoebiasis include bloody diarrhea and inflammation of the colon. Giardiasis Giardiasis is caused by the parasite known as Giardia intestinalis. This parasite is found in fecal matter, so it can be contracted through oral contact with feces.

A large number of species and subspecies of trypanosomes have been described. Different species of trypanosomes infect a variety of different vertebrates, including animals and humans. Most species are transmitted by insects. On the African continent a number of Trypanosoma species and subspecies are economically significant causing human and animal diseases which are an obstacle to human welfare, affecting cattle rearing and agricultural development. Human African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, only occurs in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, namely Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. Wild and domestic animals can host these parasites and may represent under particular conditions an important reservoir of infection for the tsetse flies. Animal African Trypanosomiasis is caused by other trypanosome species and subspecies then those affecting human beings.

Commonly known as African sleeping sickness, human trypanosomiasis is caused by the species Trypanosoma brucei and is transmitted to humans through either a vector or the blood of ingested animals. The most common vector of Trypanosoma brucei is the tsetse fly, which may spread the parasite to humans and animals through bites. Through a process known as antigenic variation, some trypanosomes are able to evade the host's immune system by modifying their surface membrane, esentially multiplying with every surface change. As the disease progresses, Trypanosoma brucei gradually infiltrates the host's central nervous system."

Description and Significance The parasitic eukaryote, Trypanosoma brucei, is a heterotrophic species from the Trypanosoma genus. It exists in two forms: an insect vector, and once inside the bloodstream, a mammalian host. T. brucei exists as its insect vector in the tsetse fly, a large, biting fly originating in Africa. Once the tsetse fly bites a mammal, the microbe enters the bloodstream where it transforms into the mammalian host form, and is then capable of mutating and invading the central nervous system, (CNS). Once inside the CNS, it has the ability to inflict African trypanosomiasis, (sleeping sickness). The complete genome of T. brucei has been sequenced; this is important because it contains pertinent information that is used to research possible cures for African trypanosomiasis. The genome was isolated at The Institue for Genomic Research, under a project called, \"\"The TIGR Trypanosoma brucei Genome Project,\"\" and by researchers at the Sanger Institute. Scientists used a two-part sequencing strategy."

I also get migraines,\"\" she said. \"\" Since starting medical marijuana I've been able to cut down my seizure medication. Instead of taking six pills a day, I only take three. It (medical marijuana) helps me focus, and alleviates my pain from neuropathy. \"\" While Lyme disease is not one of the state-approved conditions for a medical marijuana prescription, epilepsy is on the list."

Is it really the “wonder drug” that people claim it is? Is medical marijuana just a ploy to legalize marijuana in general?"

Researchers are testing marijuana, which is also called cannabis, as a treatment for many illnesses and diseases, including neurological conditions, with Parkinson's disease (PD) high on the list. But despite several clinical studies, it has not been demonstrated that cannabis can directly benefit people with PD. The Science Behind Marijuana What is the science and pharmacology behind marijuana, and can it be used to treat Parkinson's symptoms? The endocannabinoid system is located in the brain and made up of cannabinoid receptors (a receptor is molecular switch on the outside of a cell that makes something happen inside a cell when activated) that are linked to neurons (brain cells) that regulate thinking and some body functions. Researchers began to show enthusiasm to study cannabis in relation to PD after people with PD gave anecdotal reports and posted on social media as to how cannabis allegedly reduced their tremors. Some researchers think that cannabis might be neuroprotective — saving neurons from damage caused by PD. Cannabinoids (the drug molecules in marijuana) have also been studied for use in treating other symptoms, like bradykinesia (slowness caused by PD) and dyskinesia (excess movement caused by levodopa). Despite some promising preclinical findings, researchers have not found any meaningful or conclusive benefits of cannabis for people with PD. Researchers issue caution for people with PD who use cannabis because of its effect on thinking."

To enter the building, located on 14th Street near the 3rd Avenue subway station, patients have to pass through two security systems before they even encounter another human. First, they flash their medical marijuana card in front of a camera. If everything looks in order, the first set of doors opens to a vestibule and then closes behind them. There, they hold their cards under an electronic scanner. If there's a problem, guards — many of them ex-cops — will escort them from the premises. Once inside, the Columbia Care dispensary looks clean, sterile, and modern, like any upscale waiting room. But those familiar with legal pot shops in Washington, Colorado, and other states will notice that one thing is conspicuously absent: There are no pot brownies, and no jars of green buds labeled with names like Green Crack and White Widow. In fact, there's no smokeable or edible marijuana of any kind for sale. New York state lawmakers voted to legalize marijuana for medical use in 2014, and Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law last June."

The rather worrying thing about this particular condition is that our drug-based medical fraternity has yet to get to grips with it, which is rather worrying as these are conditions that become progressively more severe, and are often fatal. Why this is so is somewhat puzzling. After cancer and heart disease, COPD causes more deaths than any other disease. The illnesses that are grouped under COPD are diseases that restrict the airways in your lungs, which then lose their elasticity, and cannot function properly, making it difficult to breathe.5 Common Symptoms of COPDBecoming out of breath after the minimum of exertion. Suffering increased amounts of sputum. Tightness in the chest. Pain and difficulty drawing breath. Suffering frequent bouts of fatigue.

These include pain relief — particularly neuropathic pain — nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders. Marijuana is also a powerful appetite stimulant, specifically for patients suffering from HIV, the AIDS wasting syndrome, or dementia. Emerging research suggests that cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis work together synergistically to help protect the body against some types of malignant tumors. Currently, more than 60 U. S. and international health organizations — including the American Public Health Association, Health Canada and the Federation of American Scientists — support granting patients immediate legal access to medicinal marijuana under a physician’s supervision. Several others, including the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association support the facilitation of wide-scale, clinical research trials so that physicians may better assess cannabis’ medical potential. In addition, a 1991 Harvard study found that 44 percent of oncologists had previously advised marijuana therapy to their patients. Fifty percent responded they would do so if marijuana was legal. A more recent national survey performed by researchers at Providence Rhode Island Hospital found that nearly half of physicians with opinions supported legalizing medical marijuana. Safety and Efficacy Cannabis and its psychoactive cannabinoid, THC, are considered incredibly safe for human consumption."

But what exactly is arthritis, and how can cannabis help it? What is Arthritis?“Arthritis” is an umbrella term used to describe 200 rheumatic diseases affecting the joints and their surrounding tissues. It causes inflammation and stiffness that develops abruptly or gradually around one or more joints. Causes and Forms of Arthritis Although more common in seniors, arthritis can severely impair a person of any age, leaving him or her unable to work or perform daily duties. In the United States, arthritis is the most common cause of disability, and high levels of stress and depression are often associated. Genetics may cause arthritis, along with obesity, joint damage, infections, and occupations requiring repetitive bending or squatting. Dysfunction of the immune system and an abnormal metabolism can also lead to various forms of arthritis, though many rheumatoid diseases are caused by a combination of factors. Forms of arthritis are broken into seven main categories: Inflammatory arthritis — joints become inflamed for no apparent reason."

It could be from headaches, a disease like cancer, or a long-term condition, like glaucoma or nerve pain. If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and your doctor thinks it would help, you’ll get a “marijuana card.” You will be put on a list that allows you to buy marijuana from an authorized seller, called a dispensary. Doctors also may prescribe medical marijuana to treat: Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis Nausea from cancer chemotherapy Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain Seizure disorders Crohn's disease The FDA has also approved THC, a key ingredient in marijuana, to treat nausea and improve appetite.

I have authored articles in the past about how to get a medical marijuana card in Oregon (my home state), and figured I would explain how to get one in Michigan as well. It’s a lot easier than most people think. First off, you have to have an ‘approvable condition.’ In Michigan, these include; agitation of Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer, Crohn’s disease, glaucoma, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, nail patella, cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe nausea, severe & chronic pain, seizures, severe/persistent muscle spasms. You might be thinking to yourself, ‘I know I don’t have some of those conditions, but I do have aches and pains, and have had muscle spasms/nausea in the past. But I am confused as to what constitutes enough of these pains/spasms/nausea in order for it to be ‘severe, persistent, and/or chronic?’The parallels of Michigan and Oregon are extremely similar; the process from the start until you physically get your card is pretty much identical, including the fees involved. The only part that is different is the limits, which I will explain later, and provide links. In no way am I recommending that a person fake a condition, I am simply telling people how I got MY medical card, and how people can do the same thing in Michigan. Be responsible!"

Since it is a progressive disease, Parkinson’s grows worse with time. In many people, symptoms start out small and subtle but begin to interfere more and more with daily life. In a healthy brain, brain cells produce a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is responsible for relaying messages within the brain that control movement in the human body. When these cells are damaged, the signs of Parkinson’s Disease begin to show. Some treatments are available for Parkinson’s, but there is no cure. As medical marijuana becomes legal in more and more states, physicians and researchers are looking more closely at the potential benefits of medical cannabis for Parkinson’s disease.

Y. / Region Connecticut Allows Medical Marijuana, but Sellers Encounter Hurdles By JOSEPH BERGER MAY 1, 2014Patients with state cards, like Angela Fiorini, can buy from street-corner dealers. Christopher Capozziello for The New York Times BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — This state’s law approving the sale of marijuana for medical purposes has been on the books for two years, but the drug is still not available. Among the challenges has been finding dispensing locations acceptable to Connecticut towns and cities. Fairfield and West Haven let applicants for licenses to operate dispensaries know they would not pass zoning muster; other municipalities, including Madison, New Canaan and Westport, have imposed moratoriums of as long as a year while their zoning rules are reviewed; and this month the Bridgeport zoning board turned down a licensee. The law, signed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat, in May 2012, requires that a pharmacist dispense the drug, and limits the list of qualifying ailments. Four manufacturers and six dispensaries have so far been licensed. Yet even with the restrictions, those who are trying to open the facilities are running into opposition from residents who are concerned that a dispensary nearby would reduce the stigma for children to try marijuana, invite black markets or lower property values. Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have passed laws permitting medical marijuana. Only Connecticut mandates an on-site pharmacist. In the patchwork of marijuana laws emerging across the country, Connecticut is somewhere in the middle: not as adventurous as Colorado and Washington, which have decriminalized marijuana for recreational use for people over 21, or California, where residents can buy medical marijuana for common conditions such as sleeplessness, loss of appetite and anxiety.

The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower pressure in your eye (intraocular pressure). Depending on your situation, your options may include eyedrops, laser treatment or surgery. Eyedrops Glaucoma treatment often starts with prescription eyedrops. These can help decrease eye pressure by improving how fluid drains from your eye or by decreasing the amount of fluid your eye makes. Prescription eyedrop medications include: Prostaglandins.

Credit: Mjpresson Medical marijuana is legal in 26 states, the District of Columbia and Guam. Proponents of marijuana, backed by several studies, say the drug has many therapeutic uses. Opponents — and the U. S. government — however, say it has a high potential for abuse and no legitimate therapeutic value. Marijuana's medicinal uses can be traced back as early as 2737 B. C., when the emperor of China, Shen Neng, touted cannabis tea as a treatment for gout, rheumatism, malaria and even poor memory, writes Mitch Earleywine, a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Albany who researches drugs and addiction, in \"\" Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence \"\" (Oxford University Press, 2005). The drug's popularity as a medicine spread throughout Asia, the Middle East and then to Africa and India, where Hindu sects used it for pain and stress relief. William O'Shaughnessy, an Irish doctor, popularized medical use of cannabis in England and America after noting its effects in India. But by the late 1800s, with morphine addiction rampant in the United States, attitudes toward drugs such as marijuana shifted dramatically. As a result, the Food and Drug Administration was formed in 1906. While marijuana wasn't specifically mentioned in the original FDA guidelines, the move to control chemical substances curtailed its use as treatment."

It describes the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in a male. Although all men have breast tissue, most do not notice it or perhaps do not even realise it is there, as it is so small that it can’t be seen or even felt. However if hormone levels in the man’s body change the breast tissue will grow, causing gynecomastia. Breast tissue grows in response to high levels of the ‘female’ hormone estrogen while high levels of the ‘male’ hormone testosterone stop it from growing. If anything in a man’s body causes a rise in estrogen or a fall in testosterone, this can mean the breast tissue grows. There are many things that can cause these changes, and most are not at all worrying. The condition often has few symptoms, is usually not painful, and most commonly happens on both sides – although it can more rarely be unilateral. Gynecomastia is usually nothing to worry about, but it can be very embarrassing or distressing for the man. Understanding the causes and usual symptoms can help you cope with the problem and find the best way to try and get rid of your man boobs."

It is not uncommon for people who use drugs or drink heavily when they are young to eventually turn into addicts. Drugs like cocaine and even marijuana and nicotine affect the brain’s natural function. The drug overwhelms the brain with a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine makes the brain and body feel pleasure. When the drug wears off, the dopamine drains out of the user’s system. This makes a person feel that the only way they can feel pleasure is by taking drugs. The chemical overload also causes brain cells to shut down and die. This is just one adverse physiological effect of drugs. Imagine being 15 years old again."

"text": "Causes of Night Sweats Share this Tweet By Ross Bonander, November 05, 2013Night sweats, unexplained fevers and sudden weight loss belong to a generalized set of symptoms known as B symptoms. However, night sweats can occur whether a person has lymphoma or not. Combined with other symptoms, a clinical exam and some scans, night sweats can indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma. Night Sweats around the Internet Oprah's own Dr. Oz discusses night sweats in the context of menopause. He mentions lymphoma at about the 3:30 mark, but for the most part this is a practical video for women approaching perimenopause. Meanwhile, Web MD examines eight causes of night sweats, noting that the disease most commonly associated with night sweats isn't lymphoma, but tuberculosis. Getting Closer to the Causes The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) points out that night sweats can be caused by a wide variety of conditions and situations, including: Cancer (lymphoma, leukemia)HIV infection Tuberculosis Mycobacterium avium complex Infectious mononucleosis Fungal infections (or other infections like endocarditis)Endocrine problems like ovarian failure Hypothyroidism Diabetes mellitus Takayasu's arteritis Obstructive sleep apnea Acid reflux disease Chronic fatigue syndrome Granulomatous disease Some pneumonias Lymph node hyperplasia Anxiety Foods including caffeine and alcohol Too many blankets Drugs and medications and abuse of certain drugs Antipyretics (meaning drugs designed to lower your temperature, like Tylenol)Although it is well-established that night sweats are a common symptom of Hodgkin's lymphoma, the reason for this remains unclear. However, it is important to keep in mind that another of the B symptoms associated with Hodgkin's is persistent fevers. It has been postulated that the fevers one experiences with Hodgkin's may be causing the night sweats, similar to when you have the flu and your fever breaks overnight. What happens?"

"text": "The Truth About Your Night Sweats Waking up drenched in sweat? Here’s what might be really going on with your night sweats By Julie Stewart January 27, 2015Thinkstock If you wake up drenched in sweat, think of your armpits as evidence. You’ll have to do some sleuthing to figure out what’s prompting your perspiration. Night sweats aren’t rare: In one study published in Annals of Family Medicine, about one-third of primary care patients reported night sweats during the past month. Advertisement Daily Dose You may unsubscribe at any time. Privacy Policy | About Us However, no one knows exactly how common the condition is, because most sufferers of night sweats never report the symptom to their doctor, says study author James Mold, M. D., a professor of family medicine at the University of Oklahoma. Related: The Men’s Health Big Book Of Uncommon Knowledge—Thousands Of DIY Tips, How-To Articles, and Awesome Skills Every Modern Man Must Master In a literature review published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, Dr. Mold and his colleagues revealed that several factors increase the likelihood of night sweats, including panic attacks, sleep problems, fever, numbness in hands and feet, anxiety and stress, and trouble breathing at night. Night sweats may also be a side effect of medication, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), commonly prescribed for depression. “ Though causation has neither been proven nor disproven with certainty, it seems likely that SSRIs are a cause,” says Dr. Mold.

"text": "About the menopause The menopause is a natural change in a woman’s life; it happens when your ovaries stop producing eggs. Your ovaries also make the hormone oestrogen (a chemical substance). So when they stop working, there’s a drop in your blood level of this hormone. This change disrupts your periods and causes the symptoms associated with the menopause. The menopause usually happens gradually. For a few years before the menopause, your periods may become irregular, happening more or less often than they used to. You may also have slightly heavier periods. This stage is called the perimenopause and can last for about four years. You can still become pregnant while going through the perimenopause, so you need to keep using contraception if you don’t want to get pregnant. Doctors usually recommend stopping contraception at 55, because most women are in the menopause by this age."

"text": "Night Sweats in Kidsby ds_283Share Tweet Night sweats in children are profuse sweating during sleep. A child who suffers from night sweats may soak his clothes and even the bedding. Some children begin to feel hot and moist when they first go to bed, whereas other children don’t begin to sweat until later in the night. Children who have primary hyperhidrosis, a condition of excessive sweating with no underlying medical cause, may also sweat profusely during the day. Nonmedical Causes According to Mayo Clinic.com, night sweats are common and are not usually cause for alarm. Check to make sure that your child is not wearing pajamas that are making her too hot. Also check to see that she is not covered with too many blankets or blankets that are too heavy for the temperature in the bedroom. Medical Causes While fever can cause night sweats, a child who has a cold, the flu or sinus infection may also experience a bout of night sweats. The condition usually disappears as soon as the child is feeling better. Secondary hyperhidrosis is a more serious condition that causes excessive sweating as a result of an underlying medical problem."

"text": "Women’s Health Menopause From a purely biological standpoint a woman’s life may be divided into those years of development leading up childbearing capacity (birth to the onset of menses), her reproductive years (generally accepted to be age 15 – 45) and the years that follow. The years that follow represent a transition point in the aging process. During the first part of the transition (age 45 – approximately age 51) women still menstruate but begin to show a sharp decline in fertility (very few women have the capacity to become pregnant after age 45) though they may still ovulate and menstruate. During the latter part of the transition ovulation ceases entirely, menstrual flow is brought to a halt and the signs and symptoms of menopause become evident. The menopausal years become a time of transition—a time in which women reassess not just their bodies, but their roles as mothers, partners and members of their communities. Healthy women may spend 40-50% of their lives in the years that follow menopause. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that devalues women (and men) as we age and the result is that many women may dread these years associating them with a loss of femininity, sexuality and vitality. However, these years also provide women with an increased sense of perspective, wisdom, purpose, self-esteem and freedom. Curiously, while many younger women dread the aging process few in their 50s, 60s and beyond would want to “go back”. The knowledge and insight gained by aging women is well-worth the price of seeing an “older” woman in the mirror."

"text": "\"What Is Early Menopause? The average age of menopause in most countries is 50. Therefore, if a woman starts menopause before the age of 40, it is considered early menopause. There are various causes for early menopause, discussed later in this article. Early Menopause Signs and Symptoms1. Vaginal Dryness: Vaginal dryness can occur during early menopause as a result of fluctuating levels of estrogen in a woman’s body. One of the many functions of this hormone is to keep the vaginal tissues elastic, thick, and moist. Hence, if the body cannot maintain optimum levels of estrogen, it causes the vaginal walls to be dry. They also become thinner than normal and less elastic. Research studies have shown that this symptom is more prevalent during the early menopause than during natural menopause.2."

Hot flashes and night sweats are often linked to hormonal imbalances among women, especially during menopause. But men can experience hot flashes and night sweats too. Night sweats in men are sometimes linked to low levels of testosterone, or “low T.” Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men. It stimulates your sperm production, supports your sex drive, and helps build your bone and muscle mass. To help relieve night sweats and other symptoms of low T, your doctor may recommend hormone replacement therapy. Night sweats can also be caused by other conditions. If you’re experiencing them, make an appointment with your doctor. They can help diagnose the cause of your symptoms and recommend a treatment plan.

"text": "\"What Are the Causes of Chills and Night Sweats?by ALISON SMITH Aug. 14, 2017Night sweats, also called sleep hyperhidrosis, can be associated with a variety of serious illnesses. Night sweats are differentiated from primary hyperhidrosis, which is characterized by excessive sweating from one area of the body. According to an article by James Mold and colleagues in the \"\"Annals of Family Medicine,\"\" physicians are unable to discern the cause of night sweats if the symptom appears without an associated illness. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland located at the front of the neck secretes too much thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system that secretes thyroxine, or T4, and triiodothyronine, or T3. These hormones control how the cells of the body produce energy through the process of metabolism. Hyperthyroidism increases metabolism, thereby producing more heat, which is a by-product of metabolism. As a result, night sweats occur in addition to rapid heart rate, moist skin, tremor, anxiety, insomnia, bulging eyes and heart palpitations, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Infection Chills occur after exposure to cold; however, excessive sweating also decreases body temperature during night sweats and can cause chills. Other causes of chills include infectious mononucleosis, meningitis, pneumonia, influenza, colds, bacterial or viral gastroenteritis, strep throat and urinary tract infections, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center."

When people talk about ‘HIV symptoms’ they are generally referring to the symptoms that appear soon (2 to 6 weeks) after a person is infected with HIV (as opposed to late AIDS symptoms which take years to develop). These symptoms are a result of the body mounting an immune response to the HIV infection, NOT due to the infection itself. That is why you find similar or identical symptoms with other infections. It is also commonly known as Acute-Retroviral Syndrome (ARS, ARVS), acute primary HIV illness, acute HIV syndrome and Acute Sero-Conversion Syndrome. HIV Symptoms are due to the immune system responding to the virus that is why many other infections can cause the same symptoms. What are the early symptoms of HIV infection? Because the whole body is reacting to fight off the virus, it is not surprising to find a variety symptoms affecting all bodily systems.

Cystic fibrosis results in the clogging of the tubes, ducts and air passages of the body with mucus. This leads to serious problems with digestion and breathing. Cystic fibrosis is eventually fatal, although survival can be significantly extended with early diagnosis and good, consistent medical care. At this time life expectancy is about 36.8 years.

In people with CF, a defective gene causes a thick, sticky buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage, and eventually, respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients. Symptoms of CFPeople with CF can have a variety of symptoms, including: Very salty-tasting skin Persistent coughing, at times with phlegm Frequent lung infections including pneumonia or bronchitis Wheezing or shortness of breath Poor growth or weight gain in spite of a good appetite Frequent greasy, bulky stools or difficulty with bowel movements Male infertility Amy, a 6-year old with CFListen to CF clinicians explain: Which body parts are affected by CFCommon CF symptoms How CF is treated Diagnosis and Genetics Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. People with CF have inherited two copies of the defective CF gene -- one copy from each parent. Both parents must have at least one copy of the defective gene. People with only one copy of the defective CF gene are called carriers, but they do not have the disease. Each time two CF carriers have a child, the chances are:25 percent (1 in 4) the child will have CF50 percent (1 in 2) the child will be a carrier but will not have CF25 percent (1 in 4) the child will not be a carrier and will not have CFThe defective CF gene contains a slight abnormality called a mutation."

All vitamins contain carbon, hydrogen & oxygen but some contain nitrogen & some sulfur & cobalt. Vitamins measured in micrograms equivalent to one millionth (1/1,000,000) of gram or milligrams equivalent to one thousandth (1/1,000) of a gram. Vitamins compounds that help regulate many vital body processes, including the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of other nutrients - nutrients that don't provide energy or build body tissue, but help regulate these and other body processes Fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Stored in the fatty compartments of the body/ binding to lipids and absorbed with their digestion products. With the exception of vitamin D, these vitamins are provided through dietary intake. - A, D, E, K -insoluble in water, more stable, require bile for digestion, absorbed into lymph, stored in liver & adipose tissue, needed in periodic doses, more likely to be toxic, absorption enhanced by fat Vitamin A Consists 2 basic dietary forms: Preformed Vit A, retinol and provitamin A, carotene - Major functions: (3) Vision, growth and differentiation of epithelial tissue, bone tissue and other tissue, immunity - Essntial in maintaining healthy eyes, skin, teeth, & bone growth - prevents infections by maintaining healthy mucous membranes (gums, skin, mouth, intestional tract, lungs etc)- direct function via cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses Preformed vitamin A ready for body to use and only found in animal foods: liver, eggs yolk, fortified or whole milk, cheese - also low fat fortified milk products, margarine and cereals fortified with vit A - a family of substances called retinoids that are in a form that your body readily usesprovitamin A (fat soluble) a beta coratene not biologically active. Has no storage of vitamin A used for other purposes such as vision. Found in leafy green vegetable (spinach, beets, kale) and deep orange / yellow fruits (cantalope), cream and butter Toxicity Vitamin A (In excess) Highly toxic, mainly from supplements -Birth defects, spontaneous abortion -Symptoms: fatigue, loss of appetite, blurred vision, hair loss, skin disorders, bone and joint pain, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and damage to the liver and nervous system -Plant foods contain Vit A as provitamins A (beta-carotene) & cannot convert quickly enough to create a toxic condition - If lots of beta-carotene rich foods are eaten this is stored in fat cells under the skin giving a yellowish tinge (carotenia)Vitamin A requirements Best obtained well-balanced diet rather than supplementation - listed as retinol equivalents - recommended most food and nutritional authorities i.e. National Health & Research council in Australia set RDI at 750 micrograms retional equivalents (RE) daily for men and woment RE = 1ug retinol and 6ug beta-carotene RE = 3.33 IU (international units) retinol & 10 IU beta-carotene Deficiency symptoms of Vitamin A night blindness, xeropthalmia, poor growth, reproductive failures, reduced egg production, corneal dying, triangular gray spots on eye, cornea softening, corneal degeneration and blindness,impaired immunity, hair follicles plugged with keratin forming white lumps Hypervitaminosis A Noted in adults ingesting over 50000 IU (15000 RE) a day from months to few yrs. - Symptoms can include anorexia (loss appetite), hair loss, dry skin, irritabilty, headaches, enlarged spleen & liver, bone and joint pain, & jaundice - generally disappear when excess intake stopped Vitamin C aids to protect against Vit A toxicity - Beta-carotene has same results Vit A with no side effects - 180mg beta carotene per day stimulates T-lymphocytes vital for gurading against disease (av. carrot gives 1000 RE (retinol equivalent) of beta-carotene Theraputic use Vitamin A - Vit A + carotenoids aid prevention & treatment of age-related macular degeneration (medical condition results loss of vision in center of the visual field) & vision problems - Vit A has succes in helping acne, dermatitis, psoriasis and wound healing - Vit A useful in respiratory related disorders like hay fever or bronchial asthma - Vit A useful healing mucous membranes of digestive tract in case of ulcers and inflammatory bowel disease (IBS) - Aids protect against infections and aids comprimised immune systems - Teeth & gums benefit from Vit A as its required for uptake of phosphates & sulphates into bone mass Vegetarian diets and Vitamin A If your body is able to effectively convert carotenoids into retinoids, you don't have to eat animal foods in order to obtain retinoid forms of vitamin A that are essential for health."

Much rarer, unless you count choking and drowning, are conditions that affect the larger passageways of the lungs such as the trachea and the bronchi. That means that the focus of today's newsletter is on diseases that affect the bronchioles and alveoli. We're talking about COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, allergies, flu, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary embolisms. Since we've already laid the groundwork in our previous two newsletters covering the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, let's jump right in and start looking at the major diseases of the respiratory system -- and what natural alternatives exist to help deal with them. Note: you're going to notice that some specific recommendations appear over and over and are recommended for dealing with multiple conditions. It doesn't make them magic bullets or miracle cures. It just means that diseases of the lungs tend to affect the same areas of the lungs -- the alveoli and bronchioles -- albeit in slightly different ways. Therefore, there is some redundancy in dealing with those diseases. Also, to avoid overwhelming the newsletter with links, I will provide support links on different solutions the first time they appear only."

Share Email Print Feedback Background Abnormalities of magnesium levels, such as hypomagnesemia, can result in disturbances in nearly every organ system and can cause potentially fatal complications (eg, ventricular arrhythmia, coronary artery vasospasm, sudden death). ( See Pathophysiology.) Despite the well-recognized importance of magnesium, low and high levels have been documented in ill patients, [ 1] as a result of which, magnesium has occasionally been called the \"\"forgotten cation.\"\" [ 2, 3]Magnesium is the second-most abundant intracellular cation and, overall, the fourth-most abundant cation. [ 4] It plays a fundamental role in many functions of the cell, including energy transfer, storage, and use; protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism; maintenance of normal cell membrane function; and the regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Systemically, magnesium lowers blood pressure and alters peripheral vascular resistance. ( See Etiology, Presentation, and Workup. ) Almost all enzymatic processes using phosphorus as an energy source require magnesium for activation. Magnesium is involved in nearly every aspect of biochemical metabolism (eg, DNA and protein synthesis, glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation). Almost all enzymes involved in phosphorus reactions (eg, adenosine triphosphatase [ATPase]) require magnesium for activation."

Blood results can be exceedingly puzzling and in most cases it takes a professional to analyse and understand them. It is hoped this reference guide will assist those with chronic kidney failure dogs, where one or more of the blood result levels are likely to be abnormally high or low. Although I have combined the results below, it is unlikely a dog will have all these elements in their blood test, as some are specific to particular diseases and conditions. The results that follow combine a blood chemistry panel test and a hemoglobin test, along with several other individual tests. They are all listed here in alphabetic order for ease of reference. If you feel there is something missing, inaccurate or needs updating, please let me know. You can contact me (Tony Booth) through Med Help’s Chronic Kidney Failure in Dogs User Group. It is useful to point out that ‘normal’ is a difficult term, because while there is a range generally considered to be normal, each veterinary practice is likely to determine their own set of normal values based on experience, professional discretion and the latest research findings. Generally accepted normal values are shown in brackets): ALT (15 - 84 U/L) ALT stands for Alunine aminotransferase, which is an enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney, but also in much smaller amounts in the heart and muscles."

"text": "Potassium Physiology Potassium is the major intracellular cation (intracellular K + concentration is approximately 140 m Eq/L) and is important for maintaining resting membrane potential of cells, particularly muscle and nerves. 60-75% of total body potassium is found within muscle cells, with the remainder in bone. Only 5% of potassium is located in extracellular fluid (ECF), therefore potassium concentration in blood is not always a reflection of total body potassium levels. Plasma (ECF) K + concentration is tightly regulated; fairly small changes can have marked effects on organ function, with severe abnormalities of plasma K + being life-threatening situations. Plasma [K +] regulation Regulation of plasma K + is mostly accomplished by renal excretion and movement of K + from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid (translocation). If these mechanisms are functioning normally, the amount of K + ingested has little effect on plasma K + . Intake has less of an effect on plasma potassium levels, however, if one or more of the regulatory mechanisms is faulty, then the amount of K + ingested can exacerbate abnormalities in plasma K +. In some species with high potassium diets (e.g. ruminants), changes in intake can affect plasma concentrations alone. Intake: Ingested K + is absorbed non-selectively in the stomach and small intestine. If dietary K + is deficient, renal excretion of K + decreases (but still occurs) but excretion can increase under states of chronic high K + in the diet."

"text": "\"INTRODUCTIONThe subject of etiology is study of the origins of disease, the causative factors, in the body. Pathogenesis is the study of the actual processes within the body whereby disease occurs, develops and changes. One of the most central concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is that of the intimate connection between the body of man and the environment within which man lives, works and plays. The physiology of the cells, tissues, zang-fu organs and meridian system of the body is in dynamic internal equilibrium and constantly adjusts to the vagaries of the external environment. If the body is not able to cope with changes in the environment, if the body is not able to adjust to changing external conditions, internal equilibrium will be lost and disease will be the result. Thus, according to the constitution of any particular individual, the presence of disease is due to a lack of adaptability by the physiology of the individual to the conditions of the environment. ( 1)The above paragraph assumes that one is healthy, eating nourishing foodstuffs, drinking clean water and getting the proper amount of exercise. In addition to being able to alter the physiology of the body to changing environmental conditions, a healthy body needs nutritious foodstuffs and clean water in order to maintain the integrity of the body. Our ancestors did not have or use herbicides and pesticides that are of manmade origin. All of their food was what we call today as \"\"organic\"\"."

An adult human body is composed of about 100,000,000,000,000 cells! Each cell has basic requirements to sustain it, and the body's organ systems are largely built around providing the many trillions of cells with those basic needs (such as oxygen, food, and waste removal). There are about 200 different kinds of specialized cells in the human body. When many identical cells are organized together it is called a tissue (such as muscle tissue, nervous tissue, etc). Various tissues organized together for a common purpose are called organs (e.g. the stomach is an organ, and so is the skin, the brain, and the uterus)."

Synonyms of Cystic Fibrosis CFfibrocystic disease of pancreasmucoviscidosispancreatic fibrosis General Discussion Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that often affects multiple organ systems of the body. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by abnormalities affecting certain glands (exocrine) of the body especially those that produce mucus. Saliva and sweat glands may also be affected. Exocrine glands secrete substances through ducts, either internally (e.g., glands in the lungs) or externally (e.g., sweat glands). In cystic fibrosis, these secretions become abnormally thick and can clog up vital areas of the body causing inflammation, obstruction and infection. The symptoms of cystic fibrosis can vary greatly in number and severity from one individual to another. Common symptoms include breathing (respiratory) abnormalities including a persistent cough, shortness of breath and lung infections; obstruction of the pancreas, which prevents digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines to help break down food and may result in poor growth and poor nutrition; and obstruction of the intestines. Cystic fibrosis is slowly progressive and often causes chronic lung damage, which eventually results in life-threatening complications. Because of improved treatments and new treatment options, the outlook and overall quality of life of individuals with cystic fibrosis has improved and over 50 percent of individuals with the disorder are adults."

"text": "\"The Basics of CFWhat Is CF? Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common genetic (inherited) diseases in America. It is also one of the most serious. It mainly affects the lungs and the digestive systems in the body, causing breathing problems and problems digesting foods. It is a chronic disease that currently has no cure. What Happens? Glands in the body that usually produce thin, slippery secretions (like sweat, mucous, tears, saliva, or digestive juices) produce thick, sticky secretions. These thick, sticky secretions plug up the ducts (small tubes) that should carry the secretions either outside of the body or into a hollow organ such as the lungs or the intestines. This can affect vital body functions such as breathing or digestion. Why?"

Contact Author A human's eyes, nose and mouth contain protective mucus. | Source Mucus in the Body Mucus has a reputation as a gross substance and is one that many people would like to avoid. It's actually a very useful material with important functions. It destroys bacteria and viruses, traps particles such as dirt, prevents water loss, humidifies passageways, lubricates the movement of materials, and protects surfaces from damage. Mucus is a slippery liquid made by mucous membranes, or mucosas. The membranes line the passageways in our bodies that connect to the outside environment. These passageways include the nose, the mouth, the airways, the digestive tract and the reproductive tract. There is also a mucous membrane over the white part of the eye and on the inside of the eyelid."

"text": "Natural Cures12 Tips For Reducing Mucus Build Up In The Lungs Mucus as most people are unaware is actually found everywhere in the human body. It’s a viscid watery substance, slippery to feel and is present because it has an important function to perform. It’s produced by the mucous membranes and helps to protect the membranes in the body, and fight infections. As with most things, too much of a good thing can become a bad thing, and it is no different with mucus. When the body starts to produce too much mucus, it accumulates in the lungs among other areas, and the problems begin. Coughing, breathing trouble, chest pain, discomfort in the chest area, and fatigue are some of the symptoms that characterise the build-up of mucus in the lungs. This build-up is often an early warning that something is wrong in the body and it is best that a health care provider is consulted without delay. A quick overview of what causes the build-up of mucus in the lungs before proceeding to tips to reduce the build-up: Cystic Fibrosis A hereditary disease, caused mainly due to a genetic defect that interferes with the natural production of mucus in the body. The mucus becomes abnormally thick and sticky and patients are often prone to various respiratory infections, lung problems and growths in the nasal passage. The perspiration of patients with cystic fibrosis is very salty due to an imbalance in salt and water in the body."

"text": "Cystic Fibrosis Living With Effects of Cystic Fibrosis on Your Organs The Effect of a Defective Gene on the Body By Lori Alma Updated March 25, 2018Share Pin Email Print Medioimages/Photodisc/Getty Images Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, life-shortening disease that occurs as a result of a genetic defect. The defective gene affects the body’s ability to transfer water and salt to and from cells that produce sweat, mucus, and digestive enzymes. This causes secretions, which are normally thin and watery in healthy people, to become very thick and sticky. The thick secretions clog up organs and prevent them from working properly. The consequences of cystic fibrosis can affect several organs and systems. The Cystic Fibrosis Effect In CF, many body organ and systems are affected, including: Respiratory system (specific organs such as the lungs and other structures in the body that allow you to breathe and circulate oxygenated blood throughout the body)Gastrointestinal system (relating to the stomach and the intestines)Musculoskeletal system (the muscles and skeleton)Genitourinary system (relating to the genital and urinary organs)Reproductive system (system of sex organs including fluids, hormones, and pheromones)Particular Organs Affected by CFSome of the major organs affected by CF include the lungs, pancreas, liver and gallbladder, intestines and the reproductive organs. Lungs There is abnormal mucus production along the respiratory tract due to the faulty transport of electrolytes across airway tissues. This mucus drys out easily and is hard to clear from the airway, which can cause blockage, damage the alveoli (tiny air sacs) in the lungs and allow for foreign particles to build up (causing chronic lung infections). Cystic fibrosis causes problems in the lungs when the thick mucus builds up and gets stuck in the airways. When this happens: Breathing passageways become blocked and air can’t get through."

Pier 1, 2, *+ Author Affiliations1Channing Laboratory, Brigham and Women's Hospital, 12Harvard Medical School, 23Children's Hospital, 3Boston, MA 02115Next Section SUMMARYWhile originally characterized as a collection of related syndromes, cystic fibrosis (CF) is now recognized as a single disease whose diverse symptoms stem from the wide tissue distribution of the gene product that is defective in CF, the ion channel and regulator, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Defective CFTR protein impacts the function of the pancreas and alters the consistency of mucosal secretions. The latter of these effects probably plays an important role in the defective resistance of CF patients to many pathogens. As the modalities of CF research have changed over the decades from empirical histological studies to include biophysical measurements of CFTR function, the clinical management of this disease has similarly evolved to effectively address the ever-changing spectrum of CF-related infectious diseases. These factors have led to the successful management of many CF-related infections with the notable exception of chronic lung infection with the gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The virulence of P. aeruginosa stems from multiple bacterial attributes, including antibiotic resistance, the ability to utilize quorum-sensing signals to form biofilms, the destructive potential of a multitude of its microbial toxins, and the ability to acquire a mucoid phenotype, which renders this microbe resistant to both the innate and acquired immunologic defenses of the host. Previous Section Next Section INTRODUCTIONOverview of CF and Bacterial Infection Cystic fibrosis (CF) manifests as a clinical syndrome characterized by chronic sinopulmonary infection as well as by gastrointestinal, nutritional, and other abnormalities. The genetic basis for CF is a well-characterized, severe monogenic recessive disorder, found predominantly in Caucasian populations of European ancestry, that arises from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR) gene. While the gene defect results in a myriad of medical problems for the patient, the most meddlesome clinical feature, chronic pulmonary infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, allows the basic pathologic process in CF to be designated an infectious disease."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery References Background Many infectious and inflammatory diseases affect the skin and the oral mucosa. Actinomycosis is one such characteristic and persistent infection. Actinomycosis is a subacute, chronic, cellulitic invasion of the soft tissues that causes the formation of external sinus tracts that discharge sulfur granules. This process spreads unimpeded by traditional anatomic barriers after the endogenous oral commensal organisms invade the tissues of the face and neck. [ 1, 2, 3] Actinomycosis may also spread to the pulmonary and GI systems. [ 4]Actinomycosis is caused by various bacterial species of the actinomycete group. Usually, the disease is caused by Actinomyces israelii, an anaerobic gram-positive organism that enters the tissue through a break in the mucosa. [ 5] The Actinomyces genus of bacteria includes other species that normally inhabit the oral cavity but are seldom pathogenic. Actinomycosis begins as an inflammatory soft tissue mass, which can enlarge into an abscesslike swelling, with penetration of the overlying skin and the development of recognizable draining fistulae. The term actinomycosis is misleading."

This group is very ancient, and branched off from the other groups very early in the evolutionary sequence. The actinomycete group includes many familiar and important bacteria, including Mycobacterium (the causal agents of tuberculosis and leprosy), Corynebacterium (a common commensal on human skin, and therefore often recovered in bacterial air samples), and Streptomyces (the source of many antibiotics as well as the pleasant odor of freshly turned soil). The actinomycetes are rod shaped or filamentous. Those that are rod shaped may form long, branching, chains of cells. Many actinomycetes form true filaments that branch and form colonies that look like fungi, although the diameter of the filaments is much smaller than that of the fungi. Filamentous forms produce spores that may be single, in short chains, or in very long chains that may form beautiful spirals. There are both anaerobic and aerobic actinomycetes. Actinomyces is an important anaerobic genus (see below). The truly filamentous forms are predominantly aerobic."

Sinus tracts may form after an infection or as a means of decompression of a synovial joint in rheumatoid arthritis or classic fistulous rheumatism. In septic arthritis, MR imaging may reveal abnormalities such as fluid-filled channels, sinus tracts and fistulae. Sinography represent a diagnostic imaging method involving opacification of a sinus tract, which may provide information that influences the choice of therapy. Concomitant CT scanning may lead to better delineation of the sinus tract. Sinography in association with fluoroscopy is also employed in evaluation of pressure sores when extent of bone infection is uncertain -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-07 09:57:30 (GMT) --------------------------------------------------. A sinus tract is an abnormal channel that originates or ends in one opening. An orofacial fistula is a pathologic communication between the cutaneous surface of the face and the oral cavity. In the literature, the terms fistulas and sinuses are often used interchangeably. Stedman’s Medical Dictionary defines a sinus as a fistula or tract leading to a suppurating cavity."

The four subspecies differ slightly in their colonial morphology and biochemical properties, such as the ability to metabolize certain nutrients, but all may be toxigenic (and therefore cause diphtheria) or not toxigenic. C. diphtheriae produces diphtheria toxin which alters protein function in the host by inactivating the elongation factor EF-2. This causes pharyngitis and 'pseudomembrane' in the throat. The diphtheria toxin gene is encoded by a bacteriophage found in toxigenic strains, integrated into the bacterial chromosome. To accurately identify C. diphtheriae, a Gram stain is performed to show Gram-positive, highly pleomorphic organisms with no particular arrangement. Special stains like Albert’s stain and Ponder's stain are used to demonstrate the metachromaticgranules formed in the polar regions. The granules are called polar granules, Babes Ernst granules, volutin, etc."

Infectionmost often occurs in the face and neck region and is characterized by the presence of a slowlyenlarging, hard, red lump. Description Actinomycosis is a relatively rare infection occurring in one out of 300,000 (1/300,000) people peryear. It is characterized by the presence of a lump or mass that often forms, draining sinustracts to the skin surface. Fifty percent of actinomycosis cases are of the head and neck region (also called \"\"lumpy jaw\"\" and \"\"cervicofacial actinomycosis\"\"), 15% are in the chest, 20% are in theabdomen, and the rest are in the pelvis, heart, and brain. Men are three times more likely to develop actinomycosis than women. Causes and symptoms Actinomycosis is usually caused by the bacterium Actinomyces israelii. This bacterium is normally present in the mouth but can cause disease if it enters tissues following an injury. Actinomyces israelii is an anaerobic bacterium which means it dislikes oxygen but grows verywell in deep tissues where oxygen levels are low."

"text": "\"The Aftermath of Penicillin Introduction With the discovery of a means of producing large quantities of penicillin, and the successful treatment of once fatal infections and diseases, a concerted effort was begun to search for more antibiotics. The search was expanded to include other fungi, as well as algae, animals, bacteria and plants. Although none of the antibiotics discovered, since penicillin, have had the same notoriety, many are just as important and many are more commonly used than penicillin, especially the over-the-counter antibiotics used as topical applications. Most have been bacterial metabolites, or more specifically, Actinomycetes, which are mycelial producing bacteria that were once thought to be fungi. As was the case in the discovery of penicillin, the brief summary of the discovery of streptomycin, presented in text books, does not tell the entire story. What is generally told is that the discovery of streptomycin is credited to Selman Waksman, a soil microbiologist, who began his research, in 1915, on the effects of fungi and bacteria on the fertility of soil. However, it would be twenty four years later, when Florey and Chain began work with penicillin that Waksman would begin a systematic search for other antibiotics. This eventually lead to the discovery of streptomycin, from Streptomyces griseus. Test carried out with streptomycin indicated that it was active against a number of bacterial disease organisms, which was not affected by penicillin. It was found to be effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of tuberculosis; Klebsiella pneumonia, the cause of walking pneumonia; Shigella gallinarum, the cause of fowl typhoid; Salmonella scottmuleri, one of the causes of food poisoning; and Brucella abortus and Proteus vulgaris, two microbes responsible for urinary infections."

Over the past 40 years, scientists have been arduously working to discover the over 500 different species of bacteria in and around the mouth known today. The mouth is comprised of an oral cavity, which includes the teeth and gums, surrounded by the lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and throat. Each of these habitats offers differing environmental conditions, and as such, is colonized by a different microbial flora. The oral environment is constantly in flux. From birth to around age 12, when the permanent dentition is complete, the local oral conditions are continuously changing as teeth are shed and new ones erupt [A1]. In addition, environmental factors such as, nutrition, diet, hygiene, smoking, dehydration, and even stress, alter the ecological conditions of mouth. Saliva covers all surfaces and serves various important functions, mechanical and nutritional, (digestive, swallowing, cleansing, lubricative, bactericidal, and excretory) in the oral cavity. It is comprised of various proteins and glycoprotein, of which the main constituents include salivary mucins (approximately 25% of saliva), amylase, Ig A, and lysozyme. The typical resting p H (6.5-6.9) is slightly more acidic than stimulating p H (7.0-7.5), but often varies depending on the secretion rate. ["

It can affect the skin or deeper areas within the body. Most bacterial infections stay in one part of the body. In the case of actinomycosis, damage to the area around where the bacteria live, due to injury or trauma, can cause the bacteria to move to other areas. Actinomycosis can lead to chronic, purulent, or pus-filled, inflammation of deep tissue. It can result in tissue death and the formation of cavities and fibrotic mass, or \"\"knots\"\" of fibrous tissue. The exact number of people affected is not known. The infection is not contagious, because the bacteria cannot survive outside the human body. It is more likely to affect men than women and more common in adults than children.

Infections of the teeth, gingivae, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone can spread to contiguous structures (e.g., sinusitis, osteomyelitis of the jaw, aspiration pneumonia). Poor oral hygiene also contributes to cardiovascular disease. To better care for patients with these diseases, an introductory understanding of these diseases is useful. Dental caries is a lesion of the enamel and dentin of the teeth. Periodontal disease includes gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is an infection of the gingivae (gums); and periodontitis is an infection/inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth (e.g., periodontal ligament and alveolar bone).

The brilliantly white smile is something of an American trademark. However, not all Americans have great teeth. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 25% of all children between the ages of 2 and 5 have tooth decay. And, perhaps more shocking,25% of all Americans over the age of 65 have lost all their teeth. That's 1 out of every 4 of us. What's going on? How can we prevent tooth decay and keep all our teeth for all our lives?"

Crystal violet, the primary stain of the Gram stain procedure, is readily retained and stabilized within this matrix, causing gram-positive prokaryotes to appear purple under a brightfield microscope after Gram staining. For many years, the retention of Gram stain was one of the main criteria used to classify prokaryotes, even though some prokaryotes did not readily stain with either the primary or secondary stains used in the Gram stain procedure. Advances in nucleic acid biochemistry have revealed additional characteristics that can be used to classify gram-positive prokaryotes, namely the guanine to cytosine ratios (G+C) in DNA and the composition of 16S r RNA subunits. Microbiologists currently recognize two distinct groups of gram-positive, or weakly staining gram-positive, prokaryotes. The class Actinobacteria comprises the high G+C gram-positive bacteria, which have more than 50% guanine and cytosine nucleotides in their DNA. The class Bacilli comprises low G+C gram-positive bacteria, which have less than 50% of guanine and cytosine nucleotides in their DNA. Actinobacteria: High G+C Gram-Positive Bacteria The name Actinobacteria comes from the Greek words for rays and small rod, but Actinobacteria are very diverse. Their microscopic appearance can range from thin filamentous branching rods to coccobacilli. Some Actinobacteria are very large and complex, whereas others are among the smallest independently living organisms."

"text": "P athogenesis of A pical P eriodontitis and the C auses of E ndodontic F ailures P. N. R. Nair First Published November 1, 2004 Review Article Download PDF Article information Abstract Apical periodontitis is a sequel to endodontic infection and manifests itself as the host defense response to microbial challenge emanating from the root canal system. It is viewed as a dynamic encounter between microbial factors and host defenses at the interface between infected radicular pulp and periodontal ligament that results in local inflammation, resorption of hard tissues, destruction of other periapical tissues, and eventual formation of various histopathological categories of apical periodontitis, commonly referred to as periapical lesions. The treatment of apical periodontitis, as a disease of root canal infection, consists of eradicating microbes or substantially reducing the microbial load from the root canal and preventing re-infection by orthograde root filling. The treatment has a remarkably high degree of success. Nevertheless, endodontic treatment can fail. Most failures occur when treatment procedures, mostly of a technical nature, have not reached a satisfactory standard for the control and elimination of infection. Even when the highest standards and the most careful procedures are followed, failures still occur. This is because there are root canal regions that cannot be cleaned and obturated with existing equipments, materials, and techniques, and thus, infection can persist. In very rare cases, there are also factors located within the inflamed periapical tissue that can interfere with post-treatment healing of the lesion. The data on the biological causes of endodontic failures are recent and scattered in various journals."

"text": "Anaerobic Infections Some infections are caused by bacteria that cannot survive or multiply when oxygen is present. These bacteria, called anaerobes, normally live in the GI tract, where there is only a limited amount of oxygen. By definition, the term anaerobic means “life without air. ”Here are brief descriptions of anaerobic infections that sometimes affect children. Actinomycosis (lumpy jaw disease) is caused most often by a species of bacteria called Actinomyces. This infection usually occurs on the face and neck, sometimes after a dental infection or procedure such as a tooth extraction or oral surgery or after trauma to the face. It can also affect other parts of the body, including the abdomen, where it may be related to a perforation of the intestine or trauma in the region. Abscesses (collections of pus) may form when these infections are present. Actinomycosis rarely develops in infants and children. Laboratory tests can confirm the presence of Actinomyces bacteria."

"text": "\"Monograph Tables What's New Reviews History MICROBIOLOGYActinomycosis is an uncommon, indolent, progressively invasive bacterial infection caused by organisms of the Actinomyces species, which are non-motile, filamentous, branching, gram-positive and predominantly anaerobic bacteria. These organisms belong to the phylum, Actinobacteria, in the order Actinomycetales, and family, Actinomycetaceae. They are related to other genera like Corynebacterium, Propionobacterium, Mycobacteriium and Nocardia. More than thirty species of Actinomyces have been described thus far, at least half of which are pathogenic to humans ( r94 ). The most common agents in this disease are A. israelii and A. gerencseriae, but at least four other Actinomyces species ( A. naeslundii, A. viscosus, A. odontolyticus, and A. meyeri ), Propionibacterium propionicum (formerly Arachnia propionica ), and Bifidobacterium dentium (formerly Actinomyces eriksonii) may also be responsible for similar or identical clinical symptoms. Furthermore, eight new Actinobacillus species ( A. europaeus, A. funkei, A. graevenitzii, A. neuii, A. radicidentis, A. radingae, A. turicensis, and A.urogenitalis) ( 13, 22, 23, 44, 59, 64, 100) as well as the related taxon Actinobaculum schaalii ( 43) have recently been described that were all derived from clinically less specific inflammatory conditions, and two former Actinomyces species ( A. bernardiae and A. pyogenes) have been placed in the genus Arcanobacterium ( 72 ). Actinomyces bovis causes granulomatous infections in cattle; however, this species has never been proven as a human pathogen and earlier reports of human A. bovis infections most probably were due to A. israelii ( 5, 47 ). Ten additional Actinobacillus species have as yet solely been isolated from animal sources. Members of the genera Actinomyces, Actinobaculum, Propionibacterium, and Bifidobacterium are morphologically similar, anaerobic to less stringently anaerobic (provided by Fortner's method) ( 22) to capnophilic or aerotolerant (facultatively anaerobic), nonsporulating, gram-positive bacteria that tend to form branching rods and filaments and have a fermentative type of carbohydrate metabolism. Filamentous, microscopic colonies of Actinomyces species can be detected within 2 to 4 days of anaerobic incubation at 36 ± 1 °C."

The adrenal glands are really two endocrine glands in one. The inner part produces epinephrine (also called adrenaline). The outer portion of the adrenal is called the cortex. It makes two important steroid hormones, cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol mobilizes nutrients, modifies the body’s response to inflammation, stimulates the liver to raise the blood sugar, and also helps to control the amount of water in the body. Aldosterone regulates salt and water levels which affects blood volume and blood pressure. Cortisol production is regulated by another hormone, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), made in the pituitary gland, which is located just below the brain. In most individuals, aldosterone production is not dependent on ACTH."

"text": "About the Adrenal Glands Adrenal Disease Signs & Symptoms Conditions Treatment The adrenal glands are two small structures that sit on top of the kidneys, deep in the back, behind the abdominal cavity and well beneath the back muscles. Although they are small, usually weighing each about a tenth of an ounce, they are powerful factories that produce many hormones that are critically important to your overall health and well-being. The adrenal glands are divided into an outside layer called the cortex and an inner layer called the medulla. Cells in the adrenal cortex make steroid hormones derived from cholesterol, including glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) and androgrens. The medulla makes catecholamines (adrenaline). Each of these hormones has a specific function in the body. Various diseases can result from excess or deficiencies of the adrenal hormones described below. Cortisol Cortisol is a glucocorticoid which is necessary to sustain all cells and to respond to physical stress. A low cortisol level can lead to subtle but serious problems, and in severe cases of stress and emergency, to shock and even death. Aldosterone Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid which is necessary to maintain the balance of sodium and potassium in the body and helps to stabilize blood pressure."

"text": "Adrenal Insufficiency & Addison's Disease What is adrenal insufficiency? Adrenal insufficiency is an endocrine, or hormonal, disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of certain hormones. The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys. Adrenal insufficiency can be primary or secondary. Addison’s disease, the common term for primary adrenal insufficiency, occurs when the adrenal glands are damaged and cannot produce enough of the adrenal hormone cortisol. The adrenal hormone aldosterone may also be lacking. Addison’s disease affects 110 to 144 of every 1 million people in developed countries. 1Secondary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the pituitary gland—a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain—fails to produce enough adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), a hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce the hormone cortisol. If ACTH output is too low, cortisol production drops. Eventually, the adrenal glands can shrink due to lack of ACTH stimulation."

( Or will at some point of your life.) Many proponents of this condition estimate that almost every person can experience adrenal fatigue, also known as hypoadrenia, to some degree at a particularly stressful point in his or her life. According to James Wilson (author of “Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome”), chronic stress and lifestyle affect the body’s ability to recuperate from physical, mental or emotional stress. Because of the vast influence of the adrenals on the body, symptoms of adrenal fatigue can mimic a number of disorders and isn’t always easily recognizable. Most sources agree that adrenal fatigue symptoms include extreme fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, insulin resistance and others (more on that below). While the mere fact you feel fatigued is not necessarily indicative of adrenal fatigue, and adrenal fatigue tests aren’t always straightforward, there is evidence that high cortisol levels found in saliva are associated with reduced immune function, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate and delayed growth in children. ( 1)These symptoms and more can be indicative of a few different disorders and are often overlooked by doctors, but more and more people are starting to realize that a combination of these could indicate the onset of adrenal fatigue. Some people at high risk for the symptoms of adrenal fatigue include busy new parents, students in college or post-graduate studies and caregivers, such as nurses or family members caring for invalid relatives. If you have adrenal fatigue, it can also be a major cause of excess fat storage and low energy levels."

"text": "Primary Hyperaldosteronism The Facts You Need To Know – Download Fact Sheet What is Primary Hyperaldosteronism Primary hyperaldosteronism is a disease caused by an excess production of the normal adrenal hormone aldosterone. This hormone is responsible for sodium and potassium balance, which then directly controls water balance to maintain appropriate blood pressure and blood volume. What causes Primary Hyperaldosteronism People with a deficiency of aldosterone, especially found in association with cortisol deficiency in Addison’s disease, have low blood volume and therefore low blood pressure, low sodium and high potassium. Just the opposite is seen in hyperaldosteronism. Primary hyperaldosteronism causes high blood pressure and a low serum potassium. The serum sodium is usually in the normal range. A separate disorder called secondary hyperaldosteronism is the result of abnormal fluid shifts seen in congestive heart failure, liver disease and certain kidney diseases. Primary hyperaldosteronism used to be considered a rare disease, but recent studies show it to be a fairly common cause of hypertension. It is usually considered by physicians if they find an unexpectedly low potassium in a person being treated for hypertension. However, many people with this disease have potassium levels in the normal range."

The term “adrenal fatigue” has been used to explain a group of symptoms that are said to occur in people who are under long-term mental, emotional, or physical stress. Supporters of adrenal fatigue say that you may be more likely to develop this condition if, for example, you have a stressful job; are a shift worker, working student, or single parent; or if you abuse alcohol or drugs. Symptoms said to be due to adrenal fatigue include tiredness, trouble falling asleep at night or waking up in the morning, salt and sugar craving, and needing stimulants like caffeine to get through the day. These symptoms are common and non-specific, meaning they can be found in many diseases. They also can occur as part of a normal, busy life. No scientific proof exists to support adrenal fatigue as a true medical condition. Doctors are concerned that if you are told you have this condition, the real cause of your symptoms may not be found and treated correctly. Also, treatment for adrenal fatigue may be expensive, since insurance companies are unlikely to cover the costs. What is the theory behind adrenal fatigue?"

These glands form part of the endocrine system, which works with the nervous system and the immune system to help the body cope with different events and stresses. Addison's disease is caused by the inability of the adrenal glands to make sufficient amounts of regulating hormones.

[ 1] [2] Craving for salt or salty foods due to the urinary losses of sodium is common. [ 3]Addison's disease and congenital adrenal hyperplasia can manifest as adrenal insufficiency. If not treated, adrenal insufficiency may result in severe abdominal pains, vomiting, profound muscle weakness and fatigue, depression, extremely low blood pressure ( hypotension ), weight loss, kidney failure, changes in mood and personality, and shock (adrenal crisis). [ 4] An adrenal crisis often occurs if the body is subjected to stress, such as an accident, injury, surgery, or severe infection; death may quickly follow. [ 4]Adrenal insufficiency can also occur when the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland does not make adequate amounts of the hormones that assist in regulating adrenal function.

This insufficiency occurs when a person's own immune system mistakenly attacks the adrenal cortex. The condition is caused by many factors, and autoimmune disease is most often responsible. What Is Autoimmune Adrenal Insufficiency? Addison's disease is a medical condition in which the adrenal glands stop making hormones that are important for certain bodily functions. It is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body. Autoimmune adrenal insufficiency is the most common type of Addison's. Addison's disease is also called primary adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism. It affected the late President John F. Kennedy, and currently affects about 1 in 100,000 people. Understanding the Adrenal Glands There are two adrenal glands, one above each kidney in the back of the upper abdomen (stomach)."

[ 1] [2] ACTH is a hormone produced in the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), and aldosterone. [ 3]During the test, a small amount of synthetic ACTH is injected, and the amount of cortisol (and sometimes aldosterone) that the adrenals produce in response is measured. [ 4] This test may cause mild side effects in some individuals. [ 5] [6]This test is used to diagnose or exclude primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency, Addison's disease, and related conditions. [ 2] In addition to quantifying adrenal insufficiency, the test can distinguish whether the cause is adrenal (low cortisol and aldosterone production) or pituitary (low ACTH production). [ 1] The Insulin tolerance test is recognized as the gold standard assay of adrenal insufficiency, but due to the cumbersome requirement for a two-hour test and the risks of seizures or myocardial infarction, the ACTH stimulation test is commonly used as an easier, safer, though not as accurate, alternative. [ 7] The test is extremely sensitive (97% at 95% specificity) to primary adrenal insufficiency, but less so to secondary adrenal insufficiency (57-61% at 95% specificity); while secondary adrenal insufficiency may thus be dismissed by some interpreters on the basis of the test, additional testing may be called for if probability of secondary adrenal insufficiency is particularly high. [ 1]Adrenal insufficiency is a potentially life-threatening condition. Treatment should be initiated as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed, or sooner if the patient presents in apparent adrenal crisis. ["

"text": "Print Overview Addison's disease is a disorder that occurs when your body produces insufficient amounts of certain hormones produced by your adrenal glands. In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and often insufficient levels of aldosterone as well. Also called adrenal insufficiency, Addison's disease occurs in all age groups and affects both sexes. Addison's disease can be life-threatening. Treatment for Addison's disease involves taking hormones to replace the insufficient amounts being made by your adrenal glands, in order to mimic the beneficial effects produced by your naturally made hormones. Symptoms Addison's disease symptoms usually develop slowly, often over several months, and may include: Extreme fatigue Weight loss and decreased appetite Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation)Low blood pressure, even fainting Salt craving Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting Abdominal pain Muscle or joint pains Irritability Depression Body hair loss or sexual dysfunction in women Acute adrenal failure (addisonian crisis)Sometimes, however, the signs and symptoms of Addison's disease may appear suddenly. In acute adrenal failure (addisonian crisis), the signs and symptoms may also include: Pain in your lower back, abdomen or legs Severe vomiting and diarrhea, leading to dehydration Low blood pressure Loss of consciousness High potassium (hyperkalemia) and low sodium (hyponatremia)When to see a doctor See your doctor if you have signs and symptoms that commonly occur in people with Addison's disease, such as: Darkening areas of skin (hyperpigmentation)Severe fatigue Unintentional weight loss Gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain Lightheadedness or fainting Salt cravings Muscle or joint pains Your doctor can help determine whether Addison's disease or some other medical condition may be causing these problems. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Adrenal glands Addison's disease results when your adrenal glands are damaged, producing insufficient amounts of the hormone cortisol and often aldosterone as well. These glands are located just above your kidneys. As part of your endocrine system, they produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue in your body."

The major forms of peptic ulcer are duodenal ulcer (DU) and gastric ulcer (GU). For VAC purposes, entitlement for duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, or peptic ulcer includes entitlement for any benign ulcer of the stomach and/or duodenum. Diagnostic Standard Diagnosis from a qualified medical practitioner is required. Clinical diagnosis must be supported by appropriate history and physical examination data. Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) x-ray or UGI endoscopy is often useful. However, a negative UGI report does not exclude the existence of an ulcer. The onset of peptic ulcer disease may be established when classical clinical symptoms manifest. A definitive diagnosis can be established by gastroscopic examination at a later date."

This creates free radicals and increased gastrin secretion. It's thought that the free radicals and N-nitroso compounds increase the chances of mutation.

"text": "\"Gastritis definition and facts Readers Comments 65 Share Your Story Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining and is usually termed acute or chronic gastritis. The two major causes of gastritis are 1) a bacterium named Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori, and 2) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ). However, there are many other causes like other infectious agents, autoimmune problems, diseases like Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, and isolated granulomatosis gastritis. Although many individuals with gastritis may have no symptoms, both acute and chronic gastritis may have symptoms ofabdominal pain,nausea,vomiting, andoccasionally, belching, bloating, loss of appetite and indigestion. Gastritis can be diagnosed by the patient's symptoms and history (for example, NSAID and/or alcohol consumption), or by breath, blood, stool, immunological, and biopsy tests to detect H. pylori and other tests such as endoscopy or radiologic studies demonstrate mucosal changes. The treatment for gastritis varies according to the cause. Other less common causes may be treated similarly, but do not treat the underlying cause. Home remedies may help reduce gastritsi symptoms, but usually does not treat the underlying cause of the condition. Foods to avoid and chemical irritants that cause or aggravate gastritis symptoms should be reduced or stopped all together. For example: Stop cigarette smoking."

H. pylori is a common type of bacteria that grows in the digestive tract and has a tendency to attack the stomach lining. It infects the stomachs of roughly 60 percent of the world’s adult population. H. pylori infections are usually harmless, but they’re responsible for the majority of ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. The “H” in the name is short for Helicobacter. “ Helico” means spiral, which indicates that the bacteria are spiral shaped. H. pylori often infect your stomach during childhood. While infections with this strain of bacteria typically don’t cause symptoms, they can lead to diseases in some people, including peptic ulcers, and an inflammatory condition inside your stomach known as gastritis. H. pylori are adapted to live in the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach. These bacteria can change the environment around them and reduce its acidity so they can survive."

Most of the time when a gastroenterologist is referring to an “ulcer” the doctor means a peptic ulcer. The two most common types of peptic ulcer are called “gastric ulcers” and “duodenal ulcers”. These names refer to the location where the ulcer is found. Gastric ulcers are located in the stomach (see Figure 1). Duodenal ulcers are found at the beginning of the small intestine (also called the small bowel) known as the duodenum. A person may have both gastric and duodenal ulcers at the same time. Figure 1.

Analysis of a blood sample may reveal evidence of an active or previous H. pylori infection in your body. However, breath and stool tests are better at detecting active H. pylori infections than is a blood test. Breath test. During a breath test, you swallow a pill, liquid or pudding that contains tagged carbon molecules. If you have an H. pylori infection, carbon is released when the solution is broken down in your stomach. Your body absorbs the carbon and expels it when you exhale. You exhale into a bag, and your doctor uses a special device to detect the carbon molecules. Acid-suppressing drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) and antibiotics can interfere with the accuracy of this test. Your doctor will ask you to stop taking those medications for a week or two weeks before you have the test."

In some countries it infects more than 50% of the population. This is, therefore, one of the most common bacterial infections known to mankind. Between 1979-82, Australian pathologist, Robin Warren and Australian gastroenterologist, Barry Marshall, identified H. pylori and suggested a link to the development of stomach ulcers. Since this discovery, the World Health Organisation has declared the bacteria to be a Class 1 carcinogen (meaning the bacterium produces cancer). It invades the mucosal lining of the stomach and is the cause of up to 95% of duodenal and up to 75% gastric ulcers and has also been associated with gastric cancer and lymphoma. Despite intense investigation into the spread of H. pylori, the precise mode of transmission remains unclear. There is some evidence to suggest that H. pylori is transmitted from person to person via the faecal-oral route yet the transmission mode remains unclear. Oral to oral or faecal to oral are the most likely routes at this stage. Most infections occur in childhood."

Although many infected individuals have no symptoms, other infected individuals may have occasional episodes ofbelching,bloating,nausea and vomiting andabdominal discomfort. More serious infections cause symptoms ofabdominal pain,nausea and vomiting that may include vomiting blood,passing dark or tarry like stools,fatigue,low red blood cell count ( anemia ),decreased appetite,diarrhea,peptic ulcers,heartburn, andbad breath. H. pylori is contagious; however, some individuals may be simply have the bacteria in their gut, and the bacteria causes no symptoms of disease. The diagnosis of H. pylori infection includes tests for antibodies in blood, a urea breath test, tests for antigens in stool, and endoscopic biopsies. Chronic infections with H. pylori weakens the natural defenses of the stomach so most individuals with symptoms need to be treated to prevent ulceration formation. H. pylori can be difficult to eradicate from the stomach with antibiotics because of antibiotic resistance; consequently, two or more antibiotics are usually given together (treatment regimen) with a protein pump inhibitor (PPI) medication (for example, omeprazole [ Prilosec, Zegerid] or esomeprazole [ Nexium ]) termed H. pylori treatment and/or triple therapy.

Symptoms of H Pylori Infection H pylori infection is known by most doctors to cause stomach ulcers but in my experience, docs’ are a little blindfolded in this important area of health. Common symptoms experienced during H pylori infection include: Heartburn and acid reflux (known as dyspepsia)Bloating Stomach pain“Gnawing” sensation in the chest Belching and burping Nausea Vomiting (especially in the morning)Unfortunately, dyspepsia, stomach pain and burning tend to be treated by acid-blocking drugs. Proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole, pantoprazole, lanzoprazole tend to be prescribed and, unfortunately, do not address the root cause of the problem. When dyspepsia is present, H pylori infection should always be considered. Ignoring possible H pylori infection is dangerous for reasons explained below. Burping, belching and nausea may lead a doctor to suspect H pylori infection but again, these symptoms are so common that many people just think they are part of “normal” life. If folk are suffering with morning vomiting (like I was) docs may suspect ulcers or H pylori, especially if the vomit contains coffee-like granules, which may indicate a bleeding ulcer. Any symptoms that suggest a bleeding ulcer – serious stomach pain, dark, tarry stool, or coffee-like grains/blood in vomit – are medical emergencies and should be treated as such. Hidden Symptoms of H Pylori Infection H pylori infections can cause many other symptoms, some of which may develop outside the digestive system."

It is usually found living in soil, animal intestinal tracts and animal manure. Humans can become infected when bacterial spores contaminate wounds. What is Clostridium Tetani? Clostridium tetani is a mobile rod-shaped single-celled anaerobic (can't grow in oxygen) bacterium that is a member of the Clostridium genus. There are eleven known strains and each one produces a potent toxin called tetanospasmin which causes tetanus, a medical condition characterised by abnormal heart rate and blood pressure, excessive sweating, difficulty breathing and swallowing, and muscle spasms in the jaw and other parts of the body. It can be fatal if not treated. The only known biological toxins that are more dangerous to humans are botulinum (produced by the closely related Clostridium botulinum) and the toxin produced by Corynebacterium diphtheriae that causes diphtheria. When the spores of C. tetani germinate they produce two toxins - tetanolysin and tetanospasmin. Tetanolysin is a hemolysin which means it causes lysis of red blood cells."

Tetanus Etiology discovered in 1884 by Carle and Rattone Passive immunization used for treatment and prophylaxis during World War ITetanus toxoid first widely used during World War IIAlthough records from antiquity (5th century BCE) contain clinical descriptions of tetanus, it was Carle and Rattone in 1884 who first produced tetanus in animals by injecting them with pus from a fatal human tetanus case. During the same year, Nicolaier produced tetanus in animals by injecting them with samples of soil. In 1889, Kitasato isolated the organism from a human victim, showed that it produced disease when injected into animals, and reported that the toxin could be neutralized by specific antibodies. In 1897, Nocard demonstrated the protective effect of passively transferred antitoxin, and passive immunization in humans was used for treatment and prophylaxis during World War I. A method for inactivating tetanus toxin with formaldehyde was developed by Ramon in the early 1920’s which led to the development of tetanus toxoid by Descombey in 1924. It was first widely used during World War II.

Gram-positive bacteria, which includes several significant human pathogens, including the causative agent of botulism and an important cause of diarrhea, Clostridium difficile. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores. The normal, reproducing cells of Clostridium, called the vegetative form, are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek κλωστήρ or spindle. Clostridium endospores have a distinct bowling pin or bottle shape, distinguishing them from other bacterial endospores, which are usually ovoid in shape. Clostridium species inhabit soils and the intestinal tract of animals, including humans. [ 2] Clostridium is a normal inhabitant of the healthy lower reproductive tract of women. [ 3] [4]Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Treatment3 History4 Use5 References6 External links Overview [ edit]Clostridium contains around 100 species that include common free-living bacteria, as well as important pathogens. [ 5] The main species responsible for disease in humans are: [6]Clostridium botulinum can produce botulinum toxin in food or wounds and can cause botulism. This same toxin is known as Botox and is used in cosmetic surgery to paralyze facial muscles to reduce the signs of aging; it also has numerous other therapeutic uses. Clostridium difficile can flourish when other gut flora bacteria are killed during antibiotic therapy, leading to superinfection and potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis (a severe necrotizing disease of the large intestine)."

"text": "Tetanus bacteria How the tetanus vaccine works Dispelling myths about tetanus and the vaccine Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is unique among vaccine preventable diseases in that it is not infectious from person to person. Thus, herd immunity does not provide protection for those who are unvaccinated. According to the CDC, almost all reported cases of tetanus occur in people who have either never been vaccinated, or who completed a primary series but have not had a booster in more than 10 years. There are an estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 deaths from tetanus each year [1], and roughly 50% of these are attributed to neonatal tetanus. This article aims to dispel current myths around the causes, treatment and prevention of the disease.1) The bacterium and its spores Before discussing tetanus it’s important to distinguish between the vegetative and spore state of the bacterium Clostridium tetani:1) In a vegetative state, Clostridium tetani is anaerobic and produces the toxins that cause tetanus infection. In this state, the bacterium is sensitive to heat and dies if exposed to oxygen. 2) By contrast, the spore state of C tetani is ubiquitous and extremely hardy. Spores consist of a core that contains only the bare essentials necessary to initiate bacterial growth, surrounded by a tough and highly impermeable coating that is made up of several layers. Spores essentially protect the bacterium from harmful environmental conditions that would otherwise kill the vegetative form of the bacterium [2]. While the vegetative form of C tetani is sensitive to heat and oxygen, its spores can survive oxygenated environments, boiling and disinfectants. [ 2] From what we know to date, spores can only be killed by placing in a solution of carbolic acid, formalin, chloramine or hydrogen hyperoxidates for 15–24 hours, or by heating to 120°C for 15–20 minutes.

Go to: General Concepts Clostridia are strictly anaerobic to aerotolerant sporeforming bacilli found in soil as well as in normal intestinal flora of man and animals. There are both gram-positive and gram-negative species, although the majority of isolates are gram-positive. Exotoxin (s) play an important role in disease pathogenesis. Gas Gangrene and Related Clostridial Wound Infections Clinical Manifestations Patients may present with a wound infection. Severity varies from invasion of live tissue with systemic toxemia to relatively benign superficial contamination of already necrotic tissue. Structure The clostridia that cause gas gangrene are anaerobic, spore-forming bacilli, but some species may not readily sporulate, e.g., C perfringens. Classification and Antigenic Types Clostridial wound infections are typically polymicrobic. The primary pathogens are various clostridial species, including C perfringens, C novyi, C septicum , and others. Pathogenesis Wounds are contaminated by clostridia from the environment or the host's normal flora."

These include enterotoxemia and tetanus, and goats in confinement must be vaccinated against these diseases. You also may choose to vaccinate against rabies. These are the only vaccinations to be concerned with unless your herd has been infected with a specific disease requiring additional vaccinations. Selenium injections (BO-SE is used for goats) are not vaccinations but are often listed with vaccination schedules and will be discussed later. The enterotoxemia and tetanus vaccination (CD&T) can be purchased at some feed and seed stores (check the expiration date) and most goat and livestock catalogues. The rabies vaccination must be administered by your veterinarian. Likewise, BO-SE must be purchased from your veterinarian. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that protect against a specific disease. The vaccine itself does not protect against disease."

Opisthotonus (Tetanus) by Charles Bell (1809). The subject is suffering from the spastic paralysis of tetanus and is presenting with opisthotonus, or arching of the neck and back due to muscle contractions. By Tyler Stearns Clostridium tetani is a Gram-postive, spore-forming bacillus that causes the disease tetanus (Slonczewski & Foster 2011). C. tetani is ubiquitous in nature; it is primarily found in soil, but can also be found in animal and human fecal samples (Cook 2001). In one survey, C. tetani was found in approximately 30% of soil samples. Growth did not appear to be dependent on soil type or climate (Smith 1978). C. tetani is an obligate anaerobe, but its spores can survive extreme conditions, including treatment with antiseptic phenols and autoclaving at 121°C for 10-15 minutes (Pink Book)."

Gram-positive bacteria, which includes several significant human pathogens, including the causative agent of botulism and an important cause of diarrhea, Clostridium difficile. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores. The normal, reproducing cells of Clostridium, called the vegetative form, are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek κλωστήρ or spindle. Clostridium endospores have a distinct bowling pin or bottle shape, distinguishing them from other bacterial endospores, which are usually ovoid in shape. Clostridium species inhabit soils and the intestinal tract of animals, including humans. [ 2] Clostridium is a normal inhabitant of the healthy lower reproductive tract of women. [ 3] [4]Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Treatment3 History4 Use5 References6 External links Overview [ edit]Clostridium contains around 100 species that include common free-living bacteria, as well as important pathogens. [ 5] The main species responsible for disease in humans are: [6]Clostridium botulinum can produce botulinum toxin in food or wounds and can cause botulism. This same toxin is known as Botox and is used in cosmetic surgery to paralyze facial muscles to reduce the signs of aging; it also has numerous other therapeutic uses. Clostridium difficile can flourish when other gut flora bacteria are killed during antibiotic therapy, leading to superinfection and potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis (a severe necrotizing disease of the large intestine)."

KEYWORDSfor searching the Internet and other reference sources Clostridium tetani Lockjaw Tetanospasmin Trismus What Is Tetanus? Tetanus is a disease caused by infection with Clostridium tetani (klos-TRIH-dee-um teh-TAH-nye) bacteria, which are found all over the world in soil, dust, and some animal feces (FEE-seez, or bowel movements) and even on human skin. The bacteria can enter the body through any type of wound, such as a scratch or deep cut. Infection begins after bacterial spores * have moved deep within the body and become active. Clostridium tetani bacteria are anaerobic (ah-nuh-RO-bik), meaning that they grow best in places with very little oxygen—so the deeper they travel into the body, the better their chances to survive. Once tetanus spores become active, the bacteria begin producing a toxin (a poisonous substance) called tetanospasmin (teh-tuh-no-SPAZ-min), which attaches to the nerves around the area of the wound. The tetanus toxin also can spread and attach to the ends of nerves of the spinal cord and at neuromuscular junctions (where nerves meet muscles). The toxin blocks the release of a neurotransmitter (nur-o-trans-MIH-ter), a chemical that carries a signal from nerves to other nerves or muscles."

Because the rusty nail has been outside for some time, it is in a place where anerobic bacteria can accumulate; added to this, the rough surface of rust provides a prime habitat for C tetani endospore to reside. Then, of course, the nail can puncture the skin and deliver the endospore to the wound. This occurrence explains why doctors often ask their patients if the nail they have stepped on is rusty.

Martin, MD, Ph D University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ (Updated Mar. 2017)Why use MRI? Over the past 10 years there has been growing published peer-reviewed evidence for the use of thoraco-abdominal-pelvic MRI in applications spanning neoplastic to non-neoplastic and acute to chronic conditions. In many instances, this evidence may be used to support transition of one’s practice to further introduce or expand appropriate use of MRI and reduce use of other tests – such as CT – to provide patients with minimized exposure to ionizing radiation, the fewest number of tests, fast time to correct diagnosis, and optimized therapeutic management. The soft tissues of the chest, abdomen, and the pelvis represent the most radiosensitive tissues, an important factor when considering that imaging wisely implies balancing cost and availability with using the most diagnostic test that minimizes or avoids exposure to the ionizing radiation from CT scanning. For many clinical problems in which CT has been used to evaluate soft-tissue disorders, body MRI provides an acceptable or favorable alternative. Diagnostic performance and value – defined as outcome divided by overall cost to achieve that outcome - of MRI has been tested and shown to be equal or favorable for most of the common and important diseases affecting the solid and hollow organs of the abdomen and pelvis. The Challenges in Implementing Body MRIMRI protocols can be confusing due to the large number of potential variations in sequences available and in the settings used to optimize each of these sequences. All the major MRI manufacturers have been improving the user controls in order to simplify the methodology for body MRI applications. New advances are making the imaging more robust and resistant to problems related to patient motion or from variations introduced by differences in operator experience. Suggested protocols can be found at each of the major manufacturers’ websites (recommendation: search for your corresponding vendor MRI website and navigate to protocols)."

Inheritance and Risk Factors suggestive of a genetic contribution to CRC include the following: (1) a strong family history of CRC and/or polyps; (2) multiple primary cancers in a patient with CRC; (3) the existence of other cancers within the kindred consistent with known syndromes causing an inherited risk of CRC, such as endometrial cancer; and (4) early age at diagnosis of CRC. Hereditary CRC is most commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, although two syndromes are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern ( MUTYH -associated polyposis and NTHL1 ). At least three validated computer models are available to estimate the probability that an individual affected with cancer carries a pathogenic variant in a mismatch repair (MMR) gene associated with Lynch syndrome, the most common inherited CRC syndrome. These include the MMRpro, MMRpredict, and PREMM5 (PREdiction Model for gene Mutations) prediction models. Individuals with a quantified risk of 2.5% or greater on PREMM5 or 5% or greater on MMRpro and MMRpredict are recommended for genetic evaluation referral and testing. Associated Genes and Syndromes Hereditary CRC has two well-described forms: (1) polyposis (including familial adenomatous polyposis [FAP] and attenuated FAP (AFAP), which are caused by pathogenic variants in the APC gene; and MUTYH-associated polyposis, which is caused by pathogenic variants in the MUTYH gene); and (2) Lynch syndrome (often referred to as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer), which is caused by germline pathogenic variants in DNA MMR genes ( MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) and EPCAM. Other CRC syndromes and their associated genes include oligopolyposis ( POLE, POLD1 ), NTHL1, juvenile polyposis syndrome ( BMPR1A, SMAD4 ), Cowden syndrome ( PTEN ), and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome ( STK11 ). Many of these syndromes are also associated with extracolonic cancers and other manifestations. Serrated polyposis syndrome, which is characterized by the appearance of hyperplastic polyps, appears to have a familial component, but the genetic basis remains unknown."

The Cyclic Redundancy Check (or CRC) is a pretty universal method of producing a check word to detect errors, especially in stored or transmitted data. It isn't hard to understand how it works, but it seems to be hard to specify exactly how to make a particular CRC and, even more so, how much CRC you need for a particular purpose. Consider, the simplest CRC — a parity bit. In principle, it is simple. If you and I agree to validate data with even parity, then any data word will have an extra bit appended so that the number of 1 bits will be even. So, for a 4-bit word, 0000 gets a parity bit of 0 (zero is considered even). 1011 gets a parity bit of 1. If you think about it, this is assured to catch any one bit error that occurs. Actually, it will detect any odd number of bit errors."

A feature story exploring the celebration of church anniversaries. By: Joan Huyser-Honig Click on a photo to view this photo album. Like any church celebrating an anniversary, Westbury Gardens United Reformed Church had lots to feel good about. They planned an enjoyable weekend to mark 25 years in their current building. “But we wanted to make it more than a time of pure nostalgia. We wanted to make our 25th church anniversary a starting point for the future, both on an individual basis and as a church,” says Geoff Townsend, pastor of the Blackburn, England, congregation. The way Westbury Gardens URC chose to focus its anniversary fits well with insights that other congregations and denominations are applying to their anniversaries. They are using the anniversary year or event to celebrate, reclaim identity, and learn new things as they go forward. Hard times, faithful God Westbury Gardens timed its anniversary weekend to coincide with the United Kingdom’s annual harvest festival."

Folate is critical in the metabolism of nucleic acid precursors and several amino acids, as well as in methylation reactions. ( More information)Severe deficiency in either folate or vitamin B 12 can lead to megaloblastic anemia, which causes fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Improper treatment of vitamin B 12 -dependent megaloblastic anemia with high dose supplemental folic acid can potentially delay the diagnosis of vitamin B 12 deficiency and thus leave the individual at risk of developing irreversible brain damage. ( More information)Folate status is influenced by the presence of genetic variations in folate metabolism, particularly those found in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR) gene. ( More information)Inadequate folate status during early pregnancy increases the risk of congenital anomalies. The introduction of mandatory folic acid fortification of refined grain products in the US in 1998 has reduced the prevalence of neural tube defects (NTDs) in newborns. Yet, folate status is considered inadequate in a majority of women of childbearing age worldwide."

"text": "Necrotic enteritis (Score 1-mild; 4-severe )Necrotic Enteritis (NE) is the most common and financially devastating bacterial disease in modern broiler flocks. Early signs of an NE outbreak are often wet litter and diarrhoea, and an increase in mortality, that may not be significant. However, the depression of growth rate and feed efficiency of birds become noticeable by day 35 due to intestinal damage and the subsequent reduction in digestion and absorption of food. Subclinical infections are more economically damaging due to these factors. Furthermore, increased condemnations at processing due to liver lesions associated with subclinical NE can occur. The severity of clinical signs varies with the age of the birds. NE is a complex, multifactorial disease with many unknown factors that influence its occurrence and the severity of outbreaks. In particular, sporadic outbreaks of NE can occur frequently in farms where antibiotics are not used as growth promoters, coccidial infections are not controlled, the husbandry practice is not strict, and diets based on viscous grains with animal protein sources. Predisposing factors for the rapid proliferation of C. perfringens and the onset of NE include other dietary and husbandry factors such as damage to the intestinal mucosa through coccidial infection or a change in the normal intestinal microflora as a result of a change in diet formulation, such as inclusion of a high level of viscous cereal grains and/or animal by-products like fish and meat meal.

Performance of multiple screening strategies simultaneously (for example, virtual colonoscopy screening every 5 years plus stool DNA testing every 3 years) in the same individual has no proven value. Colorectal cancer screening beginning at age 45 is considered a medically necessary preventive service for African Americans because of the high incidence of colorectal cancer and a greater prevalence of proximal or right-sided polyps and cancerous lesions in this population. There is insufficient evidence to support earlier screening of members at increased risk from smoking or obesity. Aetna considers screening upper endoscopy experimental and investigational. No current guidelines of leading medical professional organizations or Federal public health agencies recommend routine upper endoscopy screening of asymptomatic persons.

"text": "Clinical Pharmacology Skin Cancer Slideshow Take the Skin Cancer Quiz Sun-Damaged Skin Slideshow Pictures CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYMechanism Of Action Binding of the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on T cells, inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, blocking PD-1 activity resulted in decreased tumor growth. Pharmacodynamics Based on dose/exposure efficacy and safety relationships, there are no clinically significant differences in efficacy and safety between pembrolizumab doses of 200 mg or 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks in patients with melanoma or NSCLC. Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics (PK) of pembrolizumab was characterized using a population PK analysis with concentration data collected from 2993 patients with various cancers who received pembrolizumab doses of 1 to 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks, 2 to 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks, or 200 mg every 3 weeks. Pembrolizumab clearance (CV%) is approximately 23% lower [geometric mean, 195 m L/day (40%)] at steady state than that after the first dose [252 m L/day (37%)]; this decrease in clearance with time is not considered clinically important. The geometric mean value (CV%) for volume of distribution at steady state is 6.0 L (20%) and for terminal half-life (t½) is 22 days (32%). Steady-state concentrations of pembrolizumab were reached by 16 weeks of repeated dosing with an every 3-week regimen and the systemic accumulation was 2.1-fold. The peak concentration (Cmax), trough concentration (Cmin), and area under the plasma concentration versus time curve at steady state (AUCss) of pembrolizumab increased dose proportionally in the dose range of 2 to 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks."

"text": "Colorectal Neoplasia Gautam Mankaney, MDCarol A. Burke, MDPublished: March 2017Contents Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer–related deaths in the United States. It is estimated that approximately 135,000 new cases of CRC will be diagnosed in 2016 and that 50,000 deaths from colorectal cancer will occur. 1 CRC screening has been associated with a decrease in CRC incidence and mortality. 2 Unfortunately, only 65% of eligible Americans are up–to–date with the recommended screening. Colorectal cancers detected on screening are more likely to be early stage and curable compared with cancers detected on an examination done for symptoms related to the tumor. Efforts should be focused on improving the rates of screening, recognizing and mitigating risk factors, adhering to evidence based intervals for colonoscopic surveillance, and enhancing the quality of colonoscopy. Back to Top Pathophysiology Molecular Pathways Three well–established molecular pathways, the chromosomal instability (CIN), microsatellite Cp G island methylator phenotype (CIMP), and microsatellite instability (MSI), have broadened our understanding of the pathogenesis of CRC. The majority of CRCs arise through the CIN pathway where by genetic alterations including loss of heterozygosity and progressive mutations occur as the adenomas progress to cancer. The activation of oncogenes (eg, Kirsten rat sarcoma [K–ras] KRAS, c–src and c–myc) and deactivation of tumor suppressor genes (eg, APC and p53) result in unchecked cellular proliferation and disordered apoptosis. 3 Over time, the affected cells continue to accumulate mutations, often altering the total number of chromosomes, until they transform into an adenoma and eventually invasive adenocarcinoma."

"text": "\"A Methadone Cash Cow CRC is Minting Money With Methadone, But Its Opiate Clincs May Not Play Well on Wall Streetby Ted Jackson About four years ago, Phil Herschman approached Barry Karlin with a deal to buy a group of methadone clinics scattered throughout the country. Ultimately, Karlin teamed up with Herschman and bought the methadone clinics in a transaction that was to set CRC Health Group down a very profitable, yet potentially controversial, path of major expansion into the methadone maintenance business. Methadone maintenance is disdained by many in the treatment industry as a therapy that simply replaces addiction to one drug for another. And while much of the medical community and government agencies like SAMHSA have been strong supporters of maintenance programs, saying they are highly successful, critics charge that methadone programs are mostly successful at controlling the social costs of opiate addiction, doing little to promote actual recovery from the disease. Despite the potential for controversy, Barry Karlin, CRC's CEO and founder who built the company into the nation's largest addiction treatment enterprise, has plunged head first into the methadone business. In the process, CRC has become the country's largest dispenser of the drug by far, with 61 clinics scattered across many states. Controversial Foray And yet, Karlin may be sensitive to the controversial nature of the methadone forays. In many interviews with Treatment Magazine over nearly two years, he has rarely mentioned his methadone investments, also preferring usually to refer to the business as \"\"opiate\"\" rather than methadone. And Karlin has also seemed to prefer to emphasize the importance of the equally fast growing residential side of CRC's business. [ Editor's Note: Immediately following publication of this article CRC stopped breaking out its opiate business altogether in its financial statements and has undergone a number of confusing reporting segment changes that make understanding the company's accounting, as well as making financial comparison's, over time very difficult. ]"

When his doctor diagnosed multiple sclerosis in 1998, he made adjustments. When the MS left him blind in his left eye in 2000, he relied on faith and family to move beyond it.

"text": "What Age Do Babies Start Teething?by Elizabeth San Filippo As a parent, you become familiar with every one of your child's cries. One day there will be a new one: a cry that signals your baby is growing his first tooth. Before that new cry comes, here is some information all parents should know about when babies start to grow their first teeth and what they can do to alleviate their teething pain. At What Age Do Babies Start Teething? According to the American Dental Association (ADA), a baby's first tooth often appears anywhere from eight months to a year of age. The last teeth to grow in are usually the molar, or back teeth, which often start making an appearance anywhere from 13 months all the way up to 33 months. When a tooth starts to break through the gumline the process will naturally cause your little one some discomfort. Some of the symptoms of teething include tender gums, drooling, irritability, trouble sleeping and gnawing and biting on toys. All of this is completely natural. Many of these symptoms will occur throughout the teething process, and every new tooth will take from a couple days to a few weeks to completely break through."

Share this content:facebook twitter linkedin google Email Print Pseudobulbar affect, which involves uncontrollable emotional outbursts, has been reported in diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. “PBA is a syndrome, not a disease, so once you have identified it, you have to initiate a workup to find out what's causing it,” Alexopoulos told Psychiatry Advisor. “ Is there a dementia process or a multi-infarct state in the brain stem and subcortical regions, leading to loss of control of emotions? Or it may be a silent stroke you have not yet identified, since a limited stroke can present with PBA.”In a younger patient with PBA, consider stroke, TBI, MS, ALS, brain tumors, or Lyme disease, Alexopoulos advised. In older patients, it is more likely PD, AD or some other dementia. Patients with executive dysfunctions caused by head trauma, brain tumors, CNS insults, or dementia who become disinhibited and do inappropriate things, such as engaging in indecent exposure or exploding in rage, may also be experiencing episodes of PBA, Crumpacker noted. The workup should include history, screening for functional impairment, psychosocial impact and comorbidities, physical exam, and imaging or lab work, depending on the potential underlying disorder. 1 Validated screening scales include the Center for Neurologic Study-lability Scale (CNS-LS) and the Pathological Laughter and Crying Scale (PLACS). 1Common Comorbidities Misdiagnosis of PBA as depression does not preclude the possibility that depression can occur comorbidly, said Alexopoulos."

Last updated Wed 10 January 2018By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by Judith Marcin, MDTypes Symptoms Causes Risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Outlook Motor neuron diseases are a group of conditions that cause the nerves in the spine and brain to progressively lose function. They are a rare but serious and incurable form of progressive neurodegeneration. Motor neurons are nerve cells that send electrical output signals to the muscles, affecting the muscles' ability to function. Motor neuron disease (MND) can appear at any age, but most patients are over 40 years old at diagnosis. It affects men more than women. The most common type, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), probably affects around 30,000 Americans at any given time, with over 5,000 diagnoses each year. The renowned English physicist, Stephen Hawking, and guitar virtuoso Jason Becker have been living with ALS for several years. Fast facts on motor neuron diseases Here are some key points about motor neuron diseases. More detail is in the main article."

"text": "\"Glen Campbell's Daughter Ashley Details Dad's Declining Health As CNN prepares to air his moving documentary this weekend, the legend's Alzheimer's and aphasia have worsened — yet \"\"he still likes to make people laugh\"\"Glen Campbell, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2011, is no longer able to communicate but remains in good spirits. Gary Miller/Film Magic By Stephen L. Betts June 26, 2015The influence that Glen Campbell has had on artists of every genre is undeniable. But with the decision of his family to go public with the legendary entertainer's 2011 Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, his extraordinary legacy has become even more significant and farther-reaching. Related Glen Campbell's Family Talks About His Life With Alzheimer's With today's release of the new documentary, the music icon's wife, son and daughter open up about life after the devastating diagnosis On Sunday, June 28th at 9:00 p.m. ET, CNN will exclusively broadcast the profoundly moving documentary film, Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me, a revealing look back at the phenomenal career of Campbell, who went from in-demand L. A. session guitarist to pop-country superstar around the world thanks to such iconic hits as \"\"Gentle on My Mind,\"\" \"\"Galveston\"\" and \"\"Rhinestone Cowboy.\"\" Among his fellow performers who comment on Campbell's influence are Keith Urban, Vince Gill, Kathy Mattea, Brad Paisley, John Carter Cash, Sheryl Crow, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Mc Cartney and U2 guitarist The Edge. Campbell's final recording, \"\"I'm Not Gonna Miss You,\"\" won a Grammy for Best Country Song earlier this year. Campbell and the song's co-writer, Julian Raymond, were also nominated for an Oscar for the emotional tune. Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me is a heartbreaking but celebratory document of the musician's final album and his Goodbye Tour, which expanded from a five-week trek to 151 sold-out shows in an 18-month period, yet at its core, the film bravely details the Campbell family's coming to grip with the Alzheimer's diagnosis, as the performer's children, including Ashley, Shannon and Cal, who were members of his touring band, rally together in support of their dad, just as the Country Music Hall of Fame member's fans and friends have done, especially since his diagnosis was first revealed. \"\" It's a great way to get the message out there,\"\" Campbell's daughter, Ashley Campbell, tells Rolling Stone Country of I'll Be Me. \"\" The film is definitely not what you think of when you think of a documentary about Alzheimer's."

Glen_Wright/flickr It was the annual Labor Day tradition for the Savini family, a makeshift version of The Gong Show performed before the neighborhood on a wooden deck stage at their beach house in Massachusetts. In past years, Nicole Savini’s mom and friends dressed up in nightgowns as the housewives version of The Supremes, singing “Stop in the Name of Love” into wooden spoons. To the Savinis each year, it’s seriously funny business—as if they’re performing at the Apollo, said Nicole, 36, whose humorous background has influenced her sensibilities at The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, where she is a senior producer. The theme this year involved a tongue-in-cheek skit on global warming, with the family singing rewritten lyrics to “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” complete with a fake weathercast warning of Sharknado ’s arrival, as well as the Lobster-pocolypse and Clamageddon. Nicole’s dad, John, dressed up as a shark from Jamaica. But one person was emotionally absent from the production, though physically present: Nicole’s mom, Kathy. For most of Nicole’s life, her mother would get into the spirit of “The Gong Show,” dressing up in costume, practicing the choreography and lines."

Ask Keller Johnson-Thompson, Helen's great-grandniece. This monthly column features real questions from readers like you. I am doing a report on Helen Keller and I wanted to know if you could explain in more detail the arrival of Helen's teacher, Anne Sullivan, to Tuscumbia, Alabama. The trip from Boston, Massachusetts, to Tuscumbia, Alabama, was the farthest that nineteen-year-old Annie Sullivan had ever traveled. Because of a recent eye operation, treatment for an eye disease known as trachoma, Annie had to wear dark glasses so that the sun would not hurt her sore eyes. As a matter of fact, she spent so much time crying on the train that the conductor thought she must be attending a funeral. To make things worse, the only pair of shoes she had were two sizes too small, so her feet hurt constantly. On March 3, 1887, Anne Mansfield Sullivan finally arrived exhausted in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She was met by Helen Keller's mother, Kate Adams Keller, and her stepson, James Keller, who had driven the carriage to the station to meet every train for the past two days."

It is a very rare congenital neurological disease that causes facial paralysis and an inability to rotate the eyes from one side to another. Most individuals with this syndrome display complete facial paralysis since birth and are unable to form any facial expressions or close their eyes. Chest wall and limb abnormalities sometimes accompany the primary symptoms of this syndrome. Patients of Moebius Syndrome display normal intelligence levels. However, the absence of facial expressions is occasionally incorrectly assumed to be resulting from dullness or unfriendliness. The condition is also known as Möbius Syndrome. Moebius Syndrome Prevalence The exact records for the incidence of this condition are not known. The syndrome is said to be very rare."

REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni - HP1ED2Q1U8YLDKelly Ripa had a rare moment of vulnerability on Wednesday’s episode of “Live with Kelly and Ryan” that ended with not only her in tears, but her co-host, Ryan Seacrest, as well. On the October 25 broadcast, Ripa told a story about her youngest son, Joaquin, who started as a freshman in high school in September. The host got very choked up and emotional talking about his struggle with dyslexia and how she recently got some news that he’s on the winning end of that struggle. “A lot of you that watch the show know he has dyslexia, so school has always been a very big challenge for us in our household,” she said. “ So, I went to his new school for a parent-teacher conference… he’s getting straight A’s. And so I broke down crying in the middle of the parent-teacher conference. ”The star, who Us Weekly notes is a mom to Michael, 20, and Lola, 16, as well, joked that the teachers saw her crying and felt the need to reassure her that they just delivered good news. “I had to wait three kids to hear these words. ”She went on to explain that her son received word of his grades before she did, but managed to keep them a secret from her so that she’d be surprised when the big moment came."

"text": "Ragnar Lothbrok/Lodbrok (Vikings),The Real Story: His Life, Death, Wives and Children Ragnar Lothbrok was a Danish Viking warlord and a renowned hero of Norse history who lived in the 9 th century. The legendary Viking, who was also the king of Denmark and Sweden, was also known as Ragnar Sigurdsson as he was told to be Danish King Sigurd Ring’s son (or Hring) in some accounts. Both the name Ragnar and the nickname “Lothbrok”, which must not be confused with a surname, had many variations in the accounts of the age. Sometimes his name could be written as Regnar or Regner whereas his nickname/epithet could be written as Lodbrok or Lodbrog. Ragnar’s epithet Lothbrok could be interpreted as “hairy breeches” in the Old Norse language. It could also mean “dirty breeches” according to some. The epithet is believed to be derived from the breeches he wore while fighting a poison-breathing serpent (or a dragon according to some accounts) in one of the sagas featuring Ragnar Lothbrok. Is Ragnar Lothbrok Real or Just a Myth ? Yes, he is real. That being said, who Ragnar really was is a matter of debate among historians."

Josiah King of Judah Reign 640 to 609 BCEPredecessor Amon of Judah Successor Jehoahaz of Judah Born c. 648 BCE probably Jerusalem Died Tammuz (July/August) 609 BCE (aged 38–39) Jerusalem Spouse Zebudah Hamutal Issue Johanan Jehoiakim Jehoahaz Zedekiah House House of David Father Amon Mother Jedidah Josiah ( / dʒ oʊ ˈ s aɪ. ə / or / dʒ ə ˈ z aɪ. ə /) [1] [2] or Yoshiyahu [a] was a seventh-century BCE king of Judah (c. 649–609) who, according to the Hebrew Bible, instituted major religious reforms. Josiah is credited by most biblical scholars with having established or compiled important Hebrew Scriptures during the \"\"Deuteronomic reform\"\" which probably occurred during his rule. Josiah became king of Judah at the age of eight, after the assassination of his father, King Amon, and reigned for thirty-one years, from 641/640 to 610/609 BCE. [ 3] Josiah is known only from biblical texts; no reference to him exists in surviving texts of the period from Egypt or Babylon, and no clear archaeological evidence, such as inscriptions bearing his name, has ever been found.

Ishi Born Unknown (first documented in 1865) Ophir, California Died March 25, 1916 University of California, Berkeley Nationality American Ishi (c. 1861 – March 25, 1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from the state of California in the United States. The Yana were destroyed during the California Genocide in the 19th century. Ishi, who was widely acclaimed as the \"\"last wild Indian\"\" in America, lived most of his life isolated from modern American culture. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged near the foothills of Lassen Peak in Northern California. Ishi, which means \"\"man\"\" in the Yana language, is an adopted name. The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave him this name because in the Yahi culture, tradition demanded that he not speak his own name until formally introduced by another Yahi. [ 1] When asked his name, he said: \"\"I have none, because there were no people to name me,\"\" meaning that there was no other Yahi to speak his name on his behalf. Ishi was taken in by anthropologists at the University of California, Berkeley, who both studied him and hired him as a research assistant. He lived most of his remaining five years in a university building in San Francisco."

The tribe was descended from Benjamin, the youngest son of the patriarch Jacob and his wife Rachel. In the Samaritan Pentateuch the name appears as Binyamīm ( Hebrew: בנימים ). The Tribe of Benjamin, located to the north of Judah but to the south of the northern Kingdom of Israel, is significant in biblical narratives as a source of various Israelite leaders including the first Israelite king, Saul, as well as earlier tribal leaders in the period of the Judges. In the period of the judges, they feature in an episode in which a civil war results in their near-extinction as a tribe. After the brief period of the united kingdom of Israel, Benjamin became part of the southern kingdom following the split into two kingdoms. After the destruction of the northern kingdom, Benjamin was absorbed into the southern kingdom. When the southern kingdom was finally destroyed in the early sixth century BCE, Benjamin as an organized tribe faded from history.

An article on this subject originally appeared in The Life of Faith (January 19, 1956, Vol. LXXX, No. 3474, p. 41). This was written by request, and acknowledgement is given to the Editor of The Life of Faith for permission to use material which has already been published in that periodical. [ p. 3]BIBLICAL LEPROSYA SUGGESTED INTERPRETATIONAlthough it is generally accepted that leprosy is a chronic disease, which is at some stages infective but of low pathogenicity, such is the fear of the disease that the very name is surrounded with prejudice. While diseases such as tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, disseminated sclerosis, poliomyelitis are not outside the pale, so far as medicine is concerned, leprosy is - as is shown by the dearth of doctors willing to undertake full-time leprosy work either in the mission field or elsewhere. All this is a reflection of the fact that the general approach to leprosy is largely based on an appeal to the emotions. The appeal to the public of such societies as The Mission to Lepers, The British Leprosy Relief Association, The American Leprosy Missions, The Medical and Leper Crusade of the World Evangelization Crusade, was formerly, and is at times even today, based on equating modern-day leprosy with the disease, or diseases, described in biblical literature. Sermons are too often preached in which leprosy is taken as a type of sin and equated with the disease we know as leprosy today."

U4 M53 2002Middlesex is a Pulitzer Prize -winning novel by Jeffrey Eugenides published in 2002. The book is a bestseller, with more than four million copies sold since its publication. Its characters and events are loosely based on aspects of Eugenides' life and observations of his Greek heritage. It is not an autobiography; unlike the protagonist, Eugenides is not intersex. The author decided to write Middlesex after he read the 1980 memoir Herculine Barbin and was dissatisfied with its discussion of intersex anatomy and emotions. Primarily a coming-of-age story ( Bildungsroman) and family saga, the novel chronicles the effect of a mutated gene on three generations of a Greek family, causing momentous changes in the protagonist's life. According to scholars, the novel's main themes are nature versus nurture, rebirth, and the differing experiences of what society constructs as polar opposites—such as those found between men and women. It discusses the pursuit of the American Dream and explores gender identity. The novel contains many allusions to Greek mythology, including creatures such as the Minotaur, half-man and half-bull, and the Chimera, a monster composed of various animal parts."

"text": "Thus did the fatal disease rise like a demon bent on destruction; it took its course, not heeding mountain, sea nor clime; death was its object, man its victim, and the uttermost ends of the world its destination; wherever its cold hand was extended - the people died .... Death struggled with time itself, and gnawed the moments that separated him from his victim. [ 1 ]The 'Cholera Morbus' was first described near Jessore, India, in 1817. In 1823 it had spread to Russia; by 1831 it was in Hamburg, and the first case in East London was on 12th February, 1832. For all the romance and fear attached to this seemingly inevitable march across the world, only about 800 persons died of the disease in the East End. In 1832 more people died of tuberculosis than cholera, and a child born of a labourer in Bethnal Green had a life expectancy of only 16 years. However, cholera evoked a response in social terms, and a contribution to the development of public health, of far more significance that its effect on mortality at the time. Although the 'Cholera Morbus' is what we now call just cholera, the terms 'Asiatic', 'spasmodic', 'malignant', 'contagious' and 'blue' were also used to describe this new disease, generally thought to be a more serious form of the contagious cholera already well known. It was confused with, or thought to be the same as, 'common' or 'English' cholera, dysentery and food poisoning frequent in this country during the summer months. What actually caused the disease or how it was spread, was not understood until well after 1832 but it is now clear that the bacterium Vibrio comma, if drunk in water contaminated with infected sewage, causes a mild fever that usually gets better within a week. A poison produced by the bacterium however stimulates a profuse diarrhoea that may prove fatal if the vast quantities of water and salts lost are not replaced."

Are cherubs angels?\"\" Answer: Cherubim/cherubs are angelic beings involved in the worship and praise of God. The cherubim are first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 3:24, “After He drove the man out, He placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.” Prior to his rebellion, Satan was a cherub ( Ezekiel 28:12-15 ). The tabernacle and temple along with their articles contained many representations of cherubim ( Exodus 25:17-22; 26:1, 31; 36:8; 1 Kings 6:23-35; 7:29-36; 8:6-7; 1 Chronicles 28:18; 2 Chronicles 3:7-14; 2 Chronicles 3:10-13; 5:7-8; Hebrews 9:5 ). Chapters 1 and 10 of the book of Ezekiel describe the “four living creatures” ( Ezekiel 1:5) as the same beings as the cherubim ( Ezekiel 10 ). Each had four faces—that of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle ( Ezekiel 1:10; also 10:14)—and each had four wings."

It follows Clary Fray (who interacts with a group of nephilim known as Shadowhunters) while also discovering her own half-angel heritage. The Shadowhunters protect the world of mundane people who are also called \"\"mundies\"\" from dark forces from beyond their world. The book series has become one of the most popular within the young adult genre of paranormal romance/urban fantasy, but Clare did not originally intend to write the series for teens. When she began writing City of Bones, she did not view it as a young adult work, but first and foremost as a fantasy novel, where the main characters just happened to be teenagers. When she was approached by a publisher interested in aging up her characters, she ultimately decided that she \"\"wanted to tell a story about characters at that crucial life stage just between adolescence and adulthood, where your choices determine the kind of person you're going to be rather than reflecting who you already are.\"\" [ 1] The decision to launch her novels as Young Adult books has propelled Clare to the top of the Bestsellers list and has established The Shadowhunter Chronicles as some of the most popular works read by a largely young adult audience.

[ 5] In 1902 Japanese chemist Nagai Nagayoshi isolated a pure crystalline compound from Derris elliptica which he called rotenone, after the Japanese name of the plant, roten. By 1930, nicouline and rotenone were established to be chemically the same. [ 6]Uses [ edit]Rotenone is used as a pesticide, insecticide, and as a nonselective piscicide (fish killer). ["

Goiters can be any one of several types of growths in the thyroid gland, located at the base of the front side of the neck just below the Adam's apple. In the case of Graves' disease, the entire thyroid gland becomes enlarged. Another type, called toxic nodular goiter, results when one or more nodules, or adenomas, develop in the thyroid and trigger excess production of thyroid hormone. Continue Reading Belowyou might like In short, a goiter is any enlargement of the thyroid gland. A goiter may be a temporary problem that will remedy itself over time without medical intervention, or a symptom of another, possibly severe, thyroid condition that requires medical attention. What Causes a Goiter? Goiters can occur when the thyroid gland produces either too much thyroid hormone ( hyperthyroidism) or not enough ( hypothyroidism )."

"text": "Can You Reduce a Goiter with Nutrition?by RUTH DE JAUREGUI Aug. 14, 2017A goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland in your neck. In parts of Africa, Asia and South America, the goiter is often caused by a lack of iodine. However, the use of iodized table salt has reduced iodine deficiency in the United States, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. A goiter is also caused by hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, when the thyroid is underactive or overactive, due to various health conditions. In some cases, there is no known cause for goiter. While most thyroid treatments require medications prescribed by your doctor, there are a few complementary treatments you can add to your daily routine. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Step 1See your health provider. He will perform a variety of tests such as biopsies, scans and ultrasounds to see if your goiter is caused by inflammation. If he prescribes thyroid pills, discuss any complementary treatments including vitamin, mineral or herbal remedies before adding them to your daily routine. Step 2Add iodized salt to your eating plan if your doctor recommends it."

A thyroid goiter occurs when your thyroid gland grows larger than normal. Your thyroid makes hormones that help control your body temperature, heart rate, and growth. They also control how fast your body uses food for energy. The amount of thyroid hormones in your body may increase, decrease, or both when you have a goiter. What increases my risk for a thyroid goiter? A lack of iodine in the foods you eat is the most common cause of a thyroid goiter. The following may increase your risk: Autoimmune thyroid disorders, such as Grave disease or Hashimoto disease Medical conditions, such as cancer, a thyroid infection, or a thyroid cyst Medicines used to treat mood disorders A family history of a thyroid goiter Pregnancy that causes your body to create more hormones What are the signs and symptoms of a thyroid goiter?

"text": "Overview Enlarged thyroid A goiter (GOI-tur) is an abnormal enlargement of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck just below your Adam's apple. Although goiters are usually painless, a large goiter can cause a cough and make it difficult for you to swallow or breathe. The most common cause of goiters worldwide is a lack of iodine in the diet. In the United States, where the use of iodized salt is common, a goiter is more often due to the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones or to nodules that develop in the gland itself. Treatment depends on the size of the goiter, your symptoms and the underlying cause. Small goiters that aren't noticeable and don't cause problems usually don't need treatment. Symptoms Not all goiters cause signs and symptoms. When signs and symptoms do occur they may include: A visible swelling at the base of your neck that may be particularly obvious when you shave or put on makeup A tight feeling in your throat Coughing Hoarseness Difficulty swallowing Difficulty breathing Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Pituitary gland and hypothalamus Your thyroid gland produces two main hormones — thyroxine (T-4) and triiodothyronine (T-3).

Thyroid cancer presents as a thyroid nodule. There has been controversy in the literature about the risk of thyroid cancer in patients with multiple thyroid nodules (multinodular goiter) as well as with Graves’ disease and toxic nodular goiters which are the most common causes of hyperthyroidism. Initially, studies suggested that patients with Graves’ disease, multinodular goiter and toxic nodular goiter carried a lower risk of thyroid cancer than patients with only a single thyroid nodule. However, recent studies suggested a higher risk of cancer in these patients (10-20%).

A Look at Autoimmune Thyroid Disease and Underactive Thyroid Conditions By Mary Shomon | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Article Table of Contents Overview Diagnosis Symptoms Preventive Treatment Back To Top Pixabay What is the difference between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism? This common question can be confusing to even veteran thyroid patients. Let's clear up the main difference: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a disease; hypothyroidism is a condition. In the United States, hypothyroidism is most commonly caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but the two terms are not interchangeable. Here is more information to help understand the difference. Overview Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that affects your thyroid gland. It is sometimes known as Hashimoto's disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. In Hashimoto's, antibodies react against proteins in your thyroid gland, causing gradual destruction of the gland itself, and making it unable to produce the thyroid hormones your body needs. Diagnosis Hashimoto's disease is typically diagnosed by clinical examination that demonstrates one or more of the following findings: Enlargement of your thyroid, known as a goiter High levels of antibodies against thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO), detected via blood test Fine needle aspiration of your thyroid (also known as a needle biopsy), which shows lymphocytes and macrophages A radioactive uptake scan, which would show diffuse uptake in your enlarged thyroid gland Ultrasound, which would show an enlarged thyroid gland Symptoms If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, you may have no demonstrable symptoms."

The Swiss physician Coindet, in 1813, hypothesized the traditional treatment of goiter with seaweed was effective because of its iodine content and successfully treated goitrous patients with iodine. Two decades later, the French chemist Boussingault, working in the Andes Mountains, was the first to advocate prophylaxis with iodine-rich salt to prevent goiter. The French chemist Chatin was the first to publish, in 1851, the hypothesis that iodine deficiency was the cause of goiter. In 1883, Semon suggested myxedema was due to thyroid insufficiency and the link between goiter, myxedema, and iodine was established when, in 1896, Baumann and Roos discovered iodine in the thyroid. In the first 2 decades of the 20th century, pioneering studies by Swiss and American physicians demonstrated the efficacy of iodine prophylaxis in the prevention of goiter and cretinism. Switzerland's iodized salt program has been operating uninterrupted since 1922. Today, control of the iodine deficiency disorders is an integral part of most national nutrition strategies.

Sargis MD, Ph DGraves’ disease is named for the doctor who first described it in Ireland—Robert J. Graves. He noticed it in a patient in 1835. The disease is also referred to as Basedow’s disease—named after a German, Karl Adolph van Basedow, who described the disease in 1840. He didn’t know that Graves had described the same disease just a few years earlier. The term Basedow’s disease is more commonly used in continental Europe; in the United States, it’s called Graves’ disease. Graves’ disease is a type of autoimmune problem that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone, which is called hyperthyroidism . Graves’ disease is often the underlying cause of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid Gland Autoimmune problems—of which there are many different types—develop when your immune system causes disease by attacking healthy tissues. Researchers do not completely understand what causes autoimmunity, although there seems to be a genetic connection, as cases of Graves’ disease tend to run in families."

Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also called African sleeping sickness, is a parasitic disease that is transmitted by infected tsetse flies. HAT can occur as a chronic or acute infection depending on the sub-species of parasite responsible for the infection. In either case, the disease progresses through two distinct stages. Stage 1 is the initial stage of infection and presents with non-specific symptoms including fever, rash, and fatigue. Untreated stage 1 HAT results in stage 2 disease where parasites invade the central nervous system causing severe neurological symptoms and eventually death. The symptoms resulting from central nervous system invasion include personality changes, mental deterioration, increased sleep, and eventually coma. The term “sleeping sickness” arose from the observation that patients with this disease become progressively sleepy until they eventually fail to wake up. Global Burden Countries reporting new cases of HAT infection (Simarro et al.

The hornet’s wingspan is bigger than that of some hummingbirds, and can fly at an impressive 25 miles per hour–even faster when in a hive. This huge hornet, also referred to as the Japanese giant hornet, is responsible for numerous deaths in Japan every year.

There are no objective biochemical or structural alterations of body organs or functions, and the disease is not recognized in other cultures. While a substantial portion of mental disorders, in the way they are manifested and experienced, are at least partially conditioned by the culture in which they are found, some disorders are more culture-specific than others. The term culture-bound syndrome was included in the fourth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) which also includes a list of the most common culture-bound conditions (DSM-IV: Appendix 1). American psychiatrist and medical anthropologist Arthur Kleinman has contributed much to the understanding of these syndromes. Contents [ show]The identification of culture-specific syndromes Edit A culture-specific syndrome is characterized by:categorization as a disease in the culture (i.e., not a voluntary behaviour or false claim);widespread familiarity in the culture;complete lack of familiarity of the condition to people in other cultures;no objectively demonstrable biochemical or tissue abnormalities (merely symptoms);the condition usually is recognized and treated by the folk medicine of the culture. Some culture-specific syndromes involve somatic symptoms (pain or disturbed function of a body part), while others are purely behavioral. Some culture-bound syndromes appear with similar features in several cultures, but with locally-specific traits, such as penis panics . A culture-specific syndrome is not the same as a geographically localized disease with specific, identifiable, causal tissue abnormalities, such as kuru or sleeping sickness, or genetic conditions limited to certain populations. It is possible that a condition originally assumed to be a culture-bound behavioral syndrome is found to have a biological cause; from a medical perspective it would then be redefined into another nosological category."

The study, initiated by the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DND i) and its partners, will test the efficacy and safety of fexinidazole, with once daily tablets for ten days. [ Français] [Deutsch]Sleeping sickness – or human African trypanosomiasis – is fatal without treatment. Spread by the bite of a tsetse fly, the disease threatens the most remote areas of 36 sub‐Saharan African countries and, while currently in a period of decline, is known to re‐emerge to epidemic levels when surveillance efforts wane. Children below 15 years of age represent nearly a quarter of current patients and DRC alone accounts for the majority of reported cases throughout Africa. Current treatments for stage 2 of the disease – or late stage, when the parasites cross the bloodbrain barrier – are difficult to administer as they require infusions that are only possible within a hospital infrastructure, in addition to the heavy transport necessary to get them there. Patients living far from this type of structure often have to travel for days, even by foot, to access treatment centres.‘ This is a major step in research and development for neglected tropical diseases. It shows that it is possible to bring a new chemical entity through the pipeline to offer an entirely newperspective on tackling a disease like sleeping sickness ’, comments Dr Bernard Pécoul, DNDi’s Executive Director. ‘ It is by connecting all of our partners in the endemic countries and around the world with the support of engaged donors – all with a common goal – that we can and will continue to search for adapted treatments for these diseases ’, he added."

Grant December 29, 2014Share 2K Stumble 67K Tweet Pin 99 +1 36 Share 2070KCompared to many other species, all humans have incredibly similar genomes. However, even slight variations in our genes or environments can cause us to develop traits that make us unique. These differences can manifest in ordinary ways, such as through hair color, height, or facial structure, but occasionally, a person or population develops a characteristic that distinctly sets them apart from the rest of the human race.10 Can’t Get High Cholesterol While most of us have to worry about limiting our intake of fried foods, bacon, eggs, or anything that we’re told is on the “cholesterol-raising list” of the moment, a few people can eat all these things and more without fear. In fact, no matter what they consume, their “bad cholesterol” (blood levels of low-density lipoprotein, associated with heart disease) remains virtually non-existent. These people were born with a genetic mutation. More specifically, they lack working copies of a gene known as PCSK9, and while it’s usually unlucky to be born with a missing gene, in this case, it seems to have some positive side effects. After scientists discovered the relationship between this gene (or lack thereof) and cholesterol about 10 years ago, drug companies have worked frantically to create a pill that would block PCSK9 in other individuals. The drug is close to getting FDA approval. In early trials, patients who have taken it have experienced as much as a 75-percent reduction in their cholesterol levels. So far, scientists have only found the mutation in a handful of African Americans, and those with it have the benefit of a 90-percent reduced risk of heart disease.9 Resistance To HIVAll sorts of things could wipe out the human race—asteroid strikes, nuclear annihilation, and extreme climate change, just to name a few."

The scourge of AIDSThe continent of Africa has been hardest hit by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In 2010, around 68% of all people living with HIV were residents of sub-Saharan Africa (UNAIDS), though the region accounts for just 12% of the global population. With wider access to anti-retroviral treatment, incidence rates of HIV/AIDS are falling. Nevertheless, AIDS still claims around one million lives each year in sub-Saharan Africa. Some of these diseases, such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, are found elsewhere. Others, such as sleeping sickness, are specific to Africa. Inoculations, vaccinations and other means of prevention are available. For example, insecticide-treated nets help people avoid the fly bites which lead to infections such as malaria. But the lack of easy access to health clinics and the costs of certain treatments or prevention methods can put help out of the reach of many families."

The tsetse are obligate parasites that live by feeding on the blood of vertebrate animals. Tsetse have been extensively studied because of their role in transmitting disease. They have a prominent economic impact in sub-Saharan Africa as the biological vectors of trypanosomes, which cause human sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomiasis. Tsetse are multivoltine and long-lived, typically producing about four broods per year, and up to 31 broods over their lifespans. [ 4]Tsetse can be distinguished from other large flies by two easily observed features. Tsetse fold their wings completely when they are resting so that one wing rests directly on top of the other over their abdomens. Tsetse also have a long proboscis, which extends directly forward and is attached by a distinct bulb to the bottom of their heads. Fossilized tsetse have been recovered from the Florissant Fossil Beds in Colorado, [4] laid down some 34 million years ago. ["

The chance of contracting a disease while traveling on safari in Africa is actually very slight and with proper precautions, most diseases can be easily avoided. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that for southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe) there are no required inoculations (unless traveling from a yellow fever zone) and health concerns are basically the same as those for travel to Eastern Europe or the Caribbean. For East Africa, health concerns and inoculations are similar to those for travel to South America or East Asia. In addition, Southern Africa has some of the finest medical facilities anywhere in the world and they are easily accessible, should the need arise. Interestingly, the two most common health problems travelers experience while on safari are common colds caught on airplanes and overexposure to the sun. Although there may be little you can do to avoid contracting a cold, exposure to the sun can be minimized. A good sun hat and high SPF sun block are absolute essentials while on safari.

Sleeping sickness, also called African trypanosomiasis, is a caused by a small parasite Trypanosoma brucei. It is confined to sub-Saharan Africa. Although the term sleeping sickness may be associated with other infections which causes similar symptoms, the term is more commonly associated with African trypanosomiasis. The infection is transmitted by the bite of an infected tsetse fly. The condition is fatal if prompt medical treatment is not implemented as it progresses to the second phase where the brain and nerves are affected. Types of African Trypanosomiasis There are two similar-looking sub-species of Trypanosoma brucei protozoan: T. brucei rhodesiense and T. brucei gambiense. T. brucei rhodesiense causes East (or Rhodesian) African trypanosomiasis. T. brucei gambiense causes West (or Gambian) African trypanosomiasis.

They are single-celled organism, and can only be seen under a microscope. When they invade a human they are able to multiply easily, which causes them to be at a great advantage and puts humans at a disadvantage. This helps them survive in the human body and causes a serious infection even with the arrival of a single protozoon. Infections caused by protozoa are contagious. Those protozoa that have inhabited the human intestine can be transmitted from one human to the other via the fecal-oral route, such as through sharing food the infected person has touched and through direct person to person contact. Protozoa living in the blood or tissue can be transmitted through a third source such as a mosquito. Infections are easily transmitted and persons carrying this parasite should avoid interactions with others, especially those with compromised and weakened immune systems. There are four main groups of protozoa that cause infection in humans."

Dog owners that keep their dog on a leash or confined to a yard are going to be able to more accurately report if their dog may have been in contact with a rabid animal, which will certainly make diagnosis easier. In addition it is important to remember that a vaccinated dog has a very good chance of not developing rabies, even if he or she is bitten. This is because the antibodies in the dog's system can and will kill the virus before it reaches the brain. It is only after the virus is in the brain that it becomes deadly. Ideally if you think your dog has been in contact with a rabid animal the best option is to capture, trap or confine that animal. This may not be an option and you should not put yourself at risk. Call law enforcement, your vet and the local animal control department to report the bite immediately as well as be prepared to describe the animal and the location you were when the bite occurred. If the animal is found it will be either killed or quarantined and observed for 10 days. When the animal is killed the vet will examine the brain tissue to identify positively if rabies is or is not present."

[ 1] Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. [ 1] These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. [ 1] Once symptoms appear, the result is nearly always death. [ 1] The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months; however, this time period can vary from less than one week to more than one year. [ 1] The time is dependent on the distance the virus must travel along nerves to reach the central nervous system. ["

Most of those deaths occur in Asia and Africa, though rabies infections have been reported in 155 countries and on every continent except Antarctica. The WHO also reports that millions of people each year receive vaccinations after dog bites, preventing hundreds of thousands more deaths. Most rabies infections worldwide result from dog bites. The symptoms of rabies are distinctive and can arise within days or weeks of being bitten. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Initial Symptoms Regardless of the form of rabies that eventually develops, the initial symptoms of infection are the same. These include fever, fatigue, headache, increasing pain at the site of the bite, or unexplained tingling, prickling and burning at the site of the bite. From here, the virus responsible for rabies spreads through the central nervous system and gives rise to one of two forms of the disease: furious or paralytic rabies. Furious Rabies Furious rabies is the more common form of rabies infection. Symptoms that arise from furious rabies include hyperactivity, hallucinations, insomnia, thirst, trouble swallowing, and even panic when presented with something to drink."

The DHLPP puppy shot is a combination vaccine that protects against 5 separate diseases : Distemper Hepatitis Leptospirosis Parainfluenza Parvovirus There are additional puppy shots that your veterinarian may recommend. These include vaccinations for Bordatella (commonly known as Kennel Cough), Giardia and Lyme Disease. If your puppy will be spending much time at a doggy daycare, or if you expect to have to board her at a kennel or similar facility, she will need to have her Bordatella (Kennel Cough) vaccination too.

Related to rabies: rabies virus, rabies vaccinerabies (rā`bēz, ră`–) orhydrophobia (hī'drəfō`bēə), acute viral infection of the centralnervous system in dogs, foxes, raccoons, skunks, bats, and other animals, and in humans. Thevirus is transmitted from an animal to a person, or from one animal to another, via infected saliva,most often by biting but also by the contact of torn skin with infected saliva. The virus travels fromthe bite or contact location to the spinal cord and brain. In humans the incubation period rangesfrom 10 days to a year or more. Symptoms are fever, uncontrollable excitement, and pronouncedspasms of the throat muscles. Salivation is extreme, and despite great thirst the victim cannotswallow water; hence the misnomer hydrophobia (fear of water). Once symptoms develop, death (caused by convulsions, exhaustion, or paralysis) is usually inevitable. Following a bite from a rabid or possibly rabid animal, preventive treatment involves administration of immune globulin for passive immunization followed by vaccinations over several weeks for activeimmunization. The only treatment after symptoms appear is rest and sedation."

Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( March 2015)Almost all human deaths caused by rabies occur in Asia and Africa. There are an estimated 55,000 human deaths annually from rabies worldwide. [ 1]Dog licensing, euthanasia of stray dogs, muzzling, and other measures contributed to the elimination of rabies from the United Kingdom in the early 20th century. More recently, large-scale vaccination of cats, dogs and ferrets has been successful in combating rabies in many developed countries. Rabies is a zoonotic disease, caused by the rabies virus. The rabies virus, a member of the Lyssavirus genus of the Rhabdoviridae family, survives in a diverse variety of animal species, including bats, monkeys, raccoons, foxes, skunks, wolves, coyotes, dogs, mongoose, weasels, cats, cattle, domestic farm animals, groundhogs, bears, and wild carnivores. However, dogs are the principal host in Asia, parts of America, and large parts of Africa. Mandatory vaccination of animals is less effective in rural areas, especially in developing countries where pets may be community property and their destruction unacceptable."

Intense startling reaction results from spasms of the accessory respiratory muscles of the neck, pharyngeal muscles and diaphragm followed by extension of the neck and a feeling of dyspnoea. During these episodes, they are extremely aroused and exhibit fearful facial expressions. The pathophysiological mechanism of hydrophobia, which is only observed in humans and not in rabid animals, is still not clear. The mental status alternates between periods of agitation and apparent normal mental status. As the disease progresses, confusion becomes severe and patients can become wild and aggressive. The period of agitation is gradually followed by impaired consciousness and coma."

Getty - LWA / Stone Vaccines are an important part of preventative health care for our pets. Dogs are commonly vaccinated against some or all of the following diseases. Core vaccines should be given to all dogs, whereas non-core vaccines are given where indicated by your dog's lifestyle or the geographic area in which you live. With the exceptions of legal requirements for rabies or vaccination requirements for kennels or travel, many veterinarians recommend vaccinating adult pets every three years, as per The American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Vaccine Guidelines. It should be noted, however, that an annual (yearly) examination is still strongly recommended to make sure your pet remains in optimal health. List of Core Dog Vaccines Rabies - A fatal viral disease that attacks the nervous system and that is contagious to humans. Distemper - A viral disease that is often fatal, affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and often the nervous system.

"text": "Neon Tetra disease is unfortunately something that many fish enthusiasts and aquarium owners will run into and the effects can be disastrous on the population of your fish tank. This disease is most commonly observed in Neon Tetra fish, however it can also be transmitted or picked up by other fish in the aquarium. What is Neon Tetra Disease? Neon Tetra disease is caused by a parasitic organism known as Pleistophora Hyphessobryconis that feeds on the host fish until the fish is dead. ( It is worth trying an anti-bacterial treatment like API Melafix Antibacterial Fish Remedy to try to remove any bacterial contaminants). This is a communicable disease that is caused when fish eat other dead fish or even from eating live food servings such as those from Tubifex. Live food can act as a carrier of the disease and also transmit it to your fish once they eat it. The parasitic organisms enter the fish and invade the stomach and the digestive track and consume the fish from the inside out. There are a few different key signs and symptoms that will appear if your fish are suffering from Neon Tetra disease which will be discussed in the following section. The unfortunate part is that there is no real cure for the disease, and more so, fish aren’t the brightest creatures and they will eat other dead fish when given the chance."

Juicing, or artificially coloring fish using paints and dyes, has become quite widespread in the aquarium trade. Yet most owners are unaware that their fish have been altered. You might be surprised and appalled, to discover which fish are artificially colored, and how it's done. Here are just a few of the practices used to color or mark fish to enhance their marketability. Unfortunately, new methods appear regularly. How It's Done Several methods are used to alter the color and appearance of tropical fish. Coloring fish stresses them and makes them more susceptible to disease. Young fish that are not fully grown are often stunted by the painting process."

"text": "Serpae Tetra All the different tetra species are small freshwater fishes found in the family Characidae, in the order Characiformes. The Serpae tetra belongs to the genus Hyphessobrycon. Its scientific name is Hyphessobrycon eques, but it is also known as Hyphessobrycon serpae, Hyphessobrycon callistus and several other names. This abundance of names can of course cause some confusion. Serpae tetra is also commonly referred to as Blood characin, Blood tetra, Callistus tetra, Jewel tetra, Red minor tetra and Red serpa. “ Blood tetras” is a broad term that is use to describe a wide range of red coloured tetra hybrids that are sold by fish shops. The body of the Serpae tetra is tall and compressed and can reach a size of 1.5 inches (4 centimetres). As mentioned above, this fish is often called things such as “Blood tetra”, “Red minor tetra” and similar, and these names are all derived from the fact that the Serpae tetra has a distinct red body coloration. The shades vary from bright red to reddish brown. The red body is decorated with a black comma-shaped mark that is found right behind the gill cover."

The word tetra means four, and is short for tetrahedron. This is a geometric solid with four sides and four corners. It looks like a pyramid that appears triangular when viewed looking at one of its points or corners. It is the most basic geometric or three-dimensional form in physical reality. In the metaphor of this concept, each of the points or corners of the tetrahedron or tetra represent structures that together create our physical existence or universe.

"text": "\"By Carl Strohmeyer Updated 7/21/16WHAT IS SPIRULINA ALGAE (Spirulina Arthrospira)? Spirulina Arthrospira is a planktonic blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) found in warm water alkaline volcanic lakes and is rich in raw protein and seven major vitamins: A1, B1, B2, B6, B12 (one of the best natural sources for B12, although the bioavailability its B12 is in dispute by many researchers), C and E. It naturally contains beta-carotene, color enhancing pigments, and whole range of minerals. In addition, Spirulina has a 62% amino acid content and contains all essential fatty acids and eight amino acids required for complete nutrition. Evidence as recent as 2007 shows even more proof as to the profound anti-oxidant properties of Spirulina. The primary species of Spirulina are Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima. Another species is Spirulina fusiformis; it is a freshwater algae as opposed to Marine/Saltwater species of the commonly harvested/aquacultured species noted earlier. It used to be classified as Spirulina platensis. Arthrospira fusiformis is capable of a great deal of polymorphism, it changes its shape, color and other charastistics in adapting to its environment. This freshwater species thrives in waters that are loaded with various minerals such as sodium, magnesium, carbonates, sulfates and chlorides. It does not usually thrive in water which is suitable for watering crops, drinking or raising fish."

The female is getting really fat, lays on the bottom alot and breaths fast. She also tends to get extremely agitated especially when someone is close by. The male isn't really doing that much. He has chased her somewhat but not really. I do notice that he stays close to her though. I believe that she may be laying eggs soon but how can I tell when she is ready to lay the eggs so I can get them out? Does someone need to watch the tank around the clock? Also, there is an algae eater in the tank."

James Pickett The name Ichthyophthirius multifilis translates to \"\"fish louse with many children\"\", a title that fits well, as each parasite may produce more than a thousand offspring. Although the disease is the equivalent of a skin infection, ich can easily be fatal to a fish stressed by poor diet or habitat. Symptoms Small white spots resembling sand Fish scratch against rocks and gravel In advanced stages fish become lethargic Redness or bloody streaks in advanced stages Infected fish are covered to various degrees with small white spots. Severe infestations are easy to spot, but small occurrences often go unnoticed. However, ich won't remain unnoticed for long. Like a bad penny, it will be back with a vengeance. The adult parasite burrows into the skin of its victim, feeding on blood and dead epithelial cells. The irritation caused by the burrowing parasite causes the skin of the fish to swell and produce white cysts seen as a small spots. The fish feels as if it's been bitten by a mosquito."

"text": "\"Costia Costia is one of the many fish diseases that are caused by protozoa. It is a somewhat rare disease that is relatively easy to cure if your fish becomes infected by it. There are several treatments for this disease but it is of course preferable to prevent the protozoa from ever infecting you fish by keeping you aquarium clean and your fish healthy and well fed, while at the same time doing what is possible to avoid introducing diseases and parasites into the aquarium. Costia has more or less only one symptom, it causes the skin of the infected fish to become cloudy and milky. There are as earlier mention several treatments, two that are very effective and one that often work. The two that are very effective do however have some potentially serious side effects. The less effective one without serious side effects is to raise the temperature in the infected aquarium to 27-28 ºC / 80 - 83º F for a few days which usually cures the disease. This method is not recommended for serious Costia outbreaks as it is not 100% sure to cure to disease and it is preferable to make sure to cure the disease as fast as possible in severe cases. The two sure ways to treat costia is with Copper (add 2mg per litre water) or Acriflavine (trypaflavine) (add 1ml per litre water). Acriflavine (trypaflavine) can cause sterility in fish and it is therefore very important not to overdose it."

It should also be tall to accommodate an angelfish height. The different scalare varieties, such as the veil, marble, or gold, and different species, such as the altum angelfish, are compatible in a large tank. Veiled angelfish with long fins may be susceptible to having their fins nipped by anyone. This is something to keep in mind when setting up your angelfish community tank. These are some general fish species that you can keep with angelfish. Tetras Several types of tetras come from the Amazon River with angelfish. Several are suitable for a community tank with angels.

Travis Lee When setting up a community aquarium--one intended to keep several different species--many considerations play a part in the selection. It's important to make sure you select good neighbors. For example, it can be problematic to introduce species with widely divergent adult sizes or species that prefer widely different temperature or water chemistry. And predatory species should normally be avoided in a community aquarium, especially if some of the species are small ones. Sometimes overlooked among the considerations is at what water level the fish prefer to swim and school. Along with all the other considerations, you want species that prefer different water levels rather than ones that will all congregate at, for example, the top of the tank. Here is a list, split by preferred level, of more than one hundred popular aquarium fish. Keep in mind that water conditions (p H, temp, hardness), size, and compatibility must also be considered when choosing fish for your community tank.

Lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking), medicines, medical and surgical procedures, and cardiac rehabilitation (a program consisting of education, counseling, and exercise training) are among the mainstays of conventional treatment. Some heart patients also turn to chelation therapy using disodium EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid), a controversial complementary health approach. The use of disodium EDTA for heart disease has not been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Nevertheless, about 111,000 adults in the United States used chelation therapy as a form of complementary medicine in the previous 12 months, according to a 2007 national survey. Chelation is a chemical process in which a substance is used to bind molecules, such as metals or minerals, and hold them tightly. Chelation has been used to rid the body of excess or toxic metals. It has some uses in conventional medicine, such as treating lead poisoning or iron overload. When used as a complementary treatment for heart disease, a health care provider typically administers a solution of disodium EDTA, a man-made amino acid, in a series of infusions through the veins. A course of treatment can require 30 or more infusions of several hours each, taken weekly until the maintenance phase."

"text": "How long will my fish live? This a question often asked in the postbag of Practical Fishkeeping magazine. Having seen lots of aged fish on my travels, I wanted to find out the length of time some our aquarium veterans are surviving, and my findings are amazing!Unfortunately, although some fish die every year through disease, or mistakes, the ones that are being cared for properly are going on to reach a truly ripe old age, and that doesn’t always seem to be related to species size. Species selection I think that as well as researching fish size and water requirements, we should also consider the length of time for which they will live. Life is short when you are an avid fishkeeper, as there are so many species to keep and so little time to keep them. To find out how long a broad selection of aquarium species are living I posted a blog asking readers, to share their experiences. What I found My investigations led me to discover that many community species of fish are capable of outliving a cat or a dog, so making themselves a long-term commitment for the fishkeeper. Take the Clown loach for example. I found ages up to 24 years reported, and, considering that in that time they can and will reach 30cm/12” in length and are a social species requiring the company of their own kind, the number of enthusiasts who can truly offer them what they need, compared with the number of people who purchase them, is very low indeed. Twenty five years is a large chunk of anyone’s life and who can predict what they will be doing and where they will be living for the next quarter of a century?"

The White Tetra is a schooling fish and will appreciate the company of its own kind. A standard school is made up of 6 to 7 fish but more is even better. This very active and fast-moving fish has a tendency towards fin nipping. Because of this, it should not be kept with smaller fishes but will do very well in a community tank with larger tankmates. These fish are are very durable and easy to keep. To keep a healthy school, provide them with an aquarium of 15 gallons or more."

G. E. Ahl, 1924The rummy-nose tetra ( Hemigrammus rhodostomus) is a species of tropicalfreshwater characin fish originating in South America, popular among fishkeepers as an aquarium fish. One of many small tetras belonging to the same genus, it is on average 5 cm (2 in) long when fully grown, and is a long established favourite among tropical fishkeepers. The fish is one of several very similar species including Hemigrammus bleheri, and Petitella georgiae, and it is possible that more recently collected specimens available in the aquarium trade are members of one or other of these similar species. The common name applied to most of these fishes is \"\"rummy-nose tetra\"\", though other common names are in circulation (such as \"\"firehead tetra\"\" for H. bleheri, according to Fish Base ). Contents [ hide ]1 Physical description2 Distribution3 Habitat4 Aquarium maintenance5 Reproduction6 Development7 See also8 References9 External links Physical description [ edit]The rummy-nose tetra is a torpedo-shaped fish, whose basal body colour is a translucent silvery colour suffused in some specimens with a greenish tint: iridescent green scales are frequently seen adorning the fish at the point where the fontanel (a part of the head roughly corresponding to the forehead in humans) meets the body. The fins are hyaline, with the exception of the tail fin, this fin being adorned with black and white horizontal stripes, variable in number, but usually comprising one central black stripe in the central portion of the tail fin, with two horizontal black stripes upon each caudal fin lobe, the spaces between the stripes being white, the total count of black stripes being five. The head is a deep red colour, iridescent in lustre, with the red continuing into the iris of the eye, and some red colouration extends beyond the operculum or gill plate into the anteriormost section of the body proper. Some specimens classified as Hemigrammus rhodostomus possess three black tail stripes instead of five, and some specimens classified as Petitella georgiae have a black stripe in the caudal peduncle extending forwards into the body, surmounted above by a thin iridescent gold line: however, whether these features are reliable determinants of species identity has yet to be fully ascertained."

There are at least 1674 species contained in about 270 genera. A visual clue to a Characin is that it will have an adipose fin. That's the little fin on top behind the dorsal fin and just before the tail. What its purpose is remains a mystery, but many Characins except for a few genera have them. An adipose fin can also be found on several catfish types. Some other clues to identifying Characins are that, unlike catfish, they don't have any barbels. Barbels are whiskers or antennae type extensions that extend from around the mouth area of some fish. The Characins are also primarily freshwater fish and are most primarily carnivorous, eating proteins of various sorts. But many will also eat some plant matter, so are actually actually omnivores."

Prevention of the spread of harmful bacteria that cause bacterial diseases also includes frequent hand washing and covering the mouth and nose with a tissue during sneezing or coughing. It is also important to avoid contact with a person who has a bacterial disease. Bacterial diseases are treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics work by killing the harmful bacteria or by stopping them from reproducing and spreading. Different types of antibiotics are effective for treating specific types of bacteria."

Like a giant rubber band squeezing my ribcage Posted In: I cannot get a diagnosis. 35 Replies Posted By: firefly646 March 8, 2008 03:42 AMLike so many on this forum, I have fought a mysterious ribcage/back/chest pain for the last year. It feels like a giant, thick, tight rubber band is squeezing me around my ribcage. I frequently feel short of breath, but I was a college track runner and marathoner in top form before this started. The main symptoms include a constant \"\"tight\"\" feeling, shortness of breath, tingly and stabbing sensations in my entire ribcage, breast pain, immobility, and muscle spasms. Oddly, my upper body almost always feels cold and tingly, even when the rest of my body is warm. Also, I have woken up in the morning with bruises on my chest, exactly where the pain is the worst. My theory is that the \"\"tight\"\" feeling was so bad in my sleep, that I was rubbing my chest, desperately trying to loosen it somehow, and bruised myself accidently."

"text": "What is Abdominoplasty? Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck or simply TT, is surgery to remove excess skin and fat on the abdomen that may accumulate after pregnancy, obesity, or age. In a full abdominoplasty, the abdominal muscles and connective tissue (or fascia) that may have become stretched out or lax over time are also tightened. In a mini-tummy tuck, only excess or redundant skin and fat are removed. A full tummy tuck may give you a new belly button to go with your new, taut stomach! Actually, although people say that the belly button is repositioned with a tummy tuck, it isn't. The belly button stays where it was and the skin is redraped around it. A hole is made through the redraped skin and the skin is then sutured around the original belly button. After the redraping, your abdominoplasty surgeon can adjust the size of the belly button with a bit of nipping and tucking. Tummy tucks are done on both men and women, but regardless of your gender, it is not a simple procedure."

"text": "Urinary Retention Urinary retention is the inability to empty the bladder. With chronic urinary retention, you may be able to urinate, but you have trouble starting a stream or emptying your bladder completely. You may urinate frequently; you may feel an urgent need to urinate but have little success when you get to the toilet; or you may feel you still have to go after you’ve finished urinating. With acute urinary retention, you can’t urinate at all, even though you have a full bladder. Acute urinary retention is a medical emergency requiring prompt action. Chronic urinary retention may not seem life threatening, but it can lead to serious problems and should also receive attention from a health professional. Anyone can experience urinary retention, but it is most common in men in their fifties and sixties because of prostate enlargement. A woman may experience urinary retention if her bladder sags or moves out of the normal position, a condition called cystocele. The bladder can also sag or be pulled out of position by a sagging of the lower part of the colon, a condition called rectocele. Some people have urinary retention from rectoceles."

"text": "Anal Fistula An anal fistula is a communicating tract between the inner anus or rectum and the external skin surrounding the anus. It begins as a superficial ulcer (Figure 1), that becomes infected creating an anal abscess that subsequently bursts leaving a communicating tract between the internal anus and the external skin of the perianal region. It causes a chronic discharge of pus that typically has an offensive odour. Types A perianal fistula can be short and superficial, not involving the anal sphincter (submucosal fistula) or can be long and deep, involving the just the internal anal sphincter (intersphincteric fistula) or both anal sphincters (transphincteric fistula or extrasphincteric). Most fistulae are low arising from low within the anal canal. Rarely fistulas are high, arising from above the anal canal (supralevator fistula). Simple fistulae Simple fistulae are those with a single tract that involves less than 30-50% of the external anal sphincter. The preferred treatment of a simple fistula is to lay it open [1]. This is a small operation under general anaesthetic, in which a probe is placed in the fistula, and the overlying skin cut to allow the tract to heal as a shallow ulcer. Complex fistulae Complex fistulae, are those with multiple tracts, those that involve more than 30-50% of the external sphincter, those that involve the anterior half of the anus (in women), any fistula as a result of radiation or Crohn’s disease, and those arising in someone with already compromised sphincter function (i.e. weak anal tone prone to incontinence). These cannot simply be laid open, and often the first step is to control the sepsis by inserting a seton (figure 2)."

"text": "\"Tummy Tuck - Are You a Candidate? Reviewed by Richard J. Greco, MD, FACSTweet Abdominoplasty, more commonly referred to as “tummy tuck,” is a cosmetic surgery procedure for men and women who wish to achieve a flatter, firmer midsection. It involves removing excess skin and fat from the stomach and, in many cases, tightening the abdominal muscles with sutures. The result is a tauter, more youthful stomach that looks great even in the most revealing swimwear. Your Initial Consultation To find out if you're a good candidate for a tummy tuck, your first step is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Be sure to choose a surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This level of certification ensures that your surgeon has received extensive training and experience and is held in high esteem by his or her colleagues. During your consultation, your surgeon will ask you to describe concerns about your appearance and discuss your goals for surgery. He or she will also examine your abdominal skin and muscles and tell you what you need to know about tummy tuck. Your surgeon will most likely show you before and after tummy tuck photos to help you gain a clearer understanding of potential outcomes of surgery."

If you have both premature ejaculation and trouble getting or maintaining an erection, your doctor might order blood tests to check your male hormone (testosterone) levels or other tests. In some cases, your doctor might suggest that you go to a urologist or a mental health professional who specializes in sexual dysfunction. Treatment Common treatment options for premature ejaculation include behavioral techniques, topical anesthetics, medications and counseling. Keep in mind that it might take time to find the treatment or combination of treatments that will work for you. Behavioral treatment plus drug therapy might be the most effective course. Behavioral techniques In some cases, therapy for premature ejaculation might involve taking simple steps, such as masturbating an hour or two before intercourse so that you're able to delay ejaculation during sex. Your doctor also might recommend avoiding intercourse for a period of time and focusing on other types of sexual play so that pressure is removed from your sexual encounters. Pelvic floor exercises Male pelvic floor muscles Weak pelvic floor muscles might impair your ability to delay ejaculation. Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) can help strengthen these muscles."

It is a chronic, degenerative disorder accompanied by widespread vascular deterioration and tissue loss. Scleroderma can be disfiguring, debilitating and deadly. In the most serious cases, the disease causes severe damage and severe complications for the body’s digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems. Pain, ranging in severity from uncomfortable to debilitating, is a common characteristic of the disease. Other common symptoms can include, but are not limited to the following: General fatigue Joint or bone aching Stiffness of hands and feet Skin discoloration Swallowing difficulties Skin thickening or tightness Dry mucus membranes Calcium deposits under the skin Unexplained ulcers on fingers or toes Raynaud’s phenomenon (described below)Scleroderma is not a single disease, but a set of related disorders involving a similar set of symptoms. This makes a concise definition – and diagnosis – difficult. All forms of scleroderma do, however, share the basic characteristics of fibrosis (an excessive accumulation of tissue) and inflammation. Recent research suggests that scleroderma is not only a rheumatic disease, but also has a blood vessel component."

Photo by Joe Klamar/AFP/Getty Images Racked with tuberculosis, the patient lost 1,400 pounds in two weeks. That’s excessive weight loss even if you’re an elephant. For Packy, a senior citizen at the Oregon Zoo, the situation was critical. Veterinarians at the zoo started the pachyderm on an 18-month course of the same daily antibiotics that millions of people around the world who suffer from the bacterial infection take. The United States is currently in the midst of an elephant tuberculosis epidemic. There have been more than 60 confirmed cases of tuberculosis in U. S. elephants—in a population of only 446. In June, a third elephant was diagnosed with tuberculosis in the Oregon Zoo, and this past November an infected elephant died in a California refuge. The disease poses risks not just for the large land mammals but also for us."

Therefore, it is impossible for an individual to become infected with elephantiasis when they are in close contact with other infected individuals. Elephantitis is actually caused by a parasite. The disease is not considered contagious but the parasites that cause it can be spread. The parasite or worms can be spread by mosquitoes but having the parasite alone will not cause the disease.

For some, however, the decision was phrased in positive terms as a choice between a sure gain and an uncertain gamble.

The bull, named Satao and likely born in the late 1960s, succumbed to wounds from poison darts in a remote corner of Tsavo National Park where he had migrated to find fresh water after recent storms. His carcass yesterday lay with its face and great tusks hacked off, four legs splayed where he fell with his last breath, left only for the vultures and the scavengers. Conservationists told how he moved from bush to bush always keeping his ivory hidden amongst the foliage. “I’m convinced he did that to hide his tusks from humans, he had an awareness that they were a danger to him,” said Mark Deeble, a British documentary filmmaker who has spent long periods of time filming Satao.

The virus' genes suggest that it was once a rodent virus that made its trans-species jump into humans in one of the early agricultural river valleys. Smallpox is thought to have rooted itself early in people living in the river valleys of China. The first clear description of smallpox (by the great Chinese medical doctor Ko Hung) appeared in a Chinese medical text in the fourth century AD. The disease had such a profound effect on human culture that there were deities created in its honor. The Chinese worshiped a goddess of smallpox named T'ou Shen Niang-Niang, who could cure the disease.

Poachers are now slaughtering up to 35,000 of the estimated 500,000 African elephants every year for their tusks. A single male elephant's two tusks can weigh more than 250 pounds, with a pound of ivory fetching as much as $1,500 on the black market. The ivory is so valuable because all across Asia — particularly in China — ivory figurines are given as traditional gifts, and ivory chopsticks, hair ornaments, and jewelry are highly prized luxuries. \"\" China regards ivory as a cultural heritage; they are not going to ban it,\"\" said Grace Gabriel of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Many Chinese consumers don't realize that elephants must be killed for their ivory; in one survey, more than two thirds of Chinese respondents said they thought tusks grew back like fingernails. What impact has the slaughter had on the elephants? Elephants are highly intelligent, social creatures that live in matriarchal groups, and poaching has ravaged much of their social structure. The biggest tusks are found on the largest breeding males and on the oldest females, who lead the elephant troops."

Elephantiasis Definition The word elephantiasis is a vivid and accurate term for the syndrome it describes: the gross (visible) enlargement of the arms, legs, or genitals to elephantoid size. Description True elephantiasis is the result of a parasitic infection caused by three specific kinds of roundworms. The long, threadlike worms block the body's lymphatic system—a network of channels,lymph nodes, and organs that helps maintain proper fluid levels in the body by draining lymphfrom tissues into the bloodstream. This blockage causes fluids to collect in the tissues, whichcan lead to great swelling, called \"\"lymphedema.\"\" Limbs can swell so enormously that theyresemble an elephant's foreleg in size, texture, and color. This is the severely disfiguring anddisabling condition of elephantiasis. There are a few different causes of elephantiasis, but the agents responsible for most of theelephantiasis in the world are filarial worms: white, slender round worms found in most tropicaland subtropical places. They are transmitted by particular kinds (species) of mosquitoes, that is,bloodsucking insects.

Andy Leppard CC BY 2.0Share Tweet Share E-mail There's a 40 percent chance of the average person developing cancer in their lifetime. For certain dog breeds, such as the Great Dane, the risk can jump to 50. However, this disposition is not evenly distributed throughout nature: some large mammals, like whales and elephants, have a less than five percent lifetime risk of cancer. A recent study may have discovered the reasoning behind these animals’ natural immunity, and suggests that genetics may hold the answer to conquering the human battle with the disease. Medicine is full of paradoxes: How is it that the French suffer from relatively low incidences of heart disease despite having a diet rich in saturated fats? Why are some moderately obese people with chronic diseases outliving normal-weight people with the same health issues? Perhaps the most perplexing realities is something called the Peto paradox. Named after Sir Richard Peto, the Oxford University epidemiologist who linked smoking to cancer in the 1970s, the Peto paradox questions how large animals that undergo far more cell division than humans can be nearly immune to cancer, a disease marked by this division. Newsweek reported that from a scientific standpoint, elephants, who have 100 times more cells than humans, should therefore be 100 times more likely to develop cancer."

While there have been debates as to whether or not Orwell was actually the officer depicted in the story, or if it was a colleague, the focus of the story is on the narrator’s internal struggle to complete his duty as an officer of the British Empire in order to avoid looking like a fool in front of the Burmese people. While the narrator knows that he needs to carry out certain duties because of his position, he does not necessarily feel that the British oppression of the Burmese people is the right thing. However, the Burmese people do not make his job easy because they resent his position as an oppressor, and this creates an ugly cycle of escalating ill-treatment on both sides. Thus, British Imperialism as a whole comes under fire in the narrative, a common theme of Orwell’s writings. In this short story, Orwell explores important themes such as the evils of imperialism, the crisis of conscience, and the struggle with pride.

An aggressive herbicide which defoliates trees, it was used on a large scale in Vietnam’s jungles to enable US troops to spot Communist troops more easily. It eradicated around 15% of South Vietnam’s vegetation, and gave rise to serious health problems for the soldiers, civilians and local wildlife that were exposed to it. Agent Orange contains dioxin, a highly toxic substance that is still detected in the bodies of Vietnamese people today. It contaminated the soil and rivers and, through the food chain, passed into fish - a staple of the Vietnamese diet. Apart from the serious human health effects of Agent Orange - which include cancer and birth defects - the rapid loss of vegetation that it causes leads to severe soil erosion. This contributes to a major drop in species population due to habitat degradation. High concentrations of dioxin persist in the land, and ecosystems have suffered irreversible damage. The impact of chemical weapons dumping by the Japanese Army in China is thought to be just as severe. Biological Weapons While many of the chemicals used in war break down relatively quickly, biological weapons pose an even greater threat than chemical weapons because it may be impossible to reverse the effects of an organism that has been unleashed into the environment."

In reality, iconic species like the lion, buffalo and hippopotamus are confined to Africa's game reserves, and if you follow basic safety guidelines, they pose little threat to your safety. In fact, most of the species on this list are currently classified as either vulnerable or threatened and have far more to fear from humans than we do from them. With that being said, it's good to be aware of Africa's so-called dangerous species, so that you can avoid any negative interactions by treating them with the respect they deserve.01of 10African Lion•••Man-eating lions like the ones who famously killed over 100 men working on a railway in Kenya's Tsavo region in 1896 have given the species a fearsome reputation. It is thought that sick or elderly lions who are no longer able to hunt stronger prey may turn to humans as a source of easy food, killing an estimated 250 people per year in Africa. Opportunistic attacks may also occur in areas where the lions' natural prey has been depleted. However, under normal circumstances, lions do not usually target humans.02of 10Black Rhino•••Both the white and black rhino will charge when threatened, and both have been responsible for a number of human deaths. However, of the two species, the black rhino is traditionally considered the most aggressive. They will charge readily at any perceived threat, have two sharp horns and can reach speeds of up to 55 km/ph. The largest male on record weighed in at over 6,380 lb/ 2,890 kg."

List the diagnostic criteria for acute and chronic pulmonary embolism at CT pulmonary angiography.•. Describe the causes of misdiagnosis of pulmonary embolism at CT pulmonary angiography.•. Discuss the causes of indeterminate CT pulmonary angiography. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Pulmonary embolism is the third most common acute cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke and results in thousands of deaths each year because it often goes undetected ( 1, 2 ). Diagnostic tests for thromboembolic disease include (a) the D-dimer assay, which has a high sensitivity but poor specificity in this setting ( 3 ), (b) ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy, which has a high sensitivity but very poor specificity ( 4 ), and (c) lower limb ultrasonography, which has a high specificity but low sensitivity ( 5 ). Computed tomographic (CT) pulmonary angiography has been evaluated with meta-analysis and has demonstrated sensitivities of 53%–100% and specificities of 83%–100% ( 6 ), wide ranges that are explained in part by technologic improvements over time. Pulmonary angiography, the diagnostic standard of reference for confirming or refuting a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, remains underused ( 7, 8 ). Although pulmonary angiography has lower mortality and morbidity rates (<1% and 5%, respectively) than anticoagulation therapy (1%–2% and 5%–25%), it has not gained widespread acceptance and is not universally available ( 9 – 11 ). In a study evaluating trends in the use of inpatient thoracic radiology at an academic medical center over a 10-year period, Wittram et al ( 12) showed that the use of CT in patients with suspected thromboembolic disease has increased significantly ( Figs 1 – 3) ( 12 ). In this article, we describe the technique of CT pulmonary angiography, diagnostic criteria for acute and chronic pulmonary embolism, and causes of misdiagnosis of pulmonary embolism. The latter group includes patient-related factors (respiratory motion artifact, image noise, pulmonary artery catheter, flow-related artifact), technical factors (window settings, streak artifact, lung algorithm artifact, partial volume artifact, stair step artifact), anatomic factors (partial volume averaging effect in lymph nodes, vascular bifurcation, misidentification of veins), and pathologic factors (mucus plug, perivascular edema, localized increase in vascular resistance, pulmonary artery stump in situ thrombosis, primary pulmonary artery sarcoma, tumor emboli).

Discuss how organ displacement can help determine the origin of a cystic pelvic mass.•. Describe the key imaging features of nonovarian pelvic cystic lesions.•. List the intra- and extraperitoneal lesions that may mimic ovarian cysts. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Cystic disease in the female pelvis is common. In most cases, it originates in the ovary, and it can range from simple, functional cysts to malignant ovarian tumors. When evaluating a cystic adnexal mass, it is important to consider nonovarian disease processes that may mimic those of the ovaries, because a misdiagnosis can profoundly affect patient management. Because the different types of cystic pelvic masses can have similar imaging features, radiology may be of limited diagnostic use. It is important to understand the relationship of a mass with its anatomic location, identify normal ovaries at imaging, and relate imaging findings to the patient's clinical history to avoid misdiagnosis. To our knowledge, no other review article has encompassed imaging findings of nonovarian cystic pelvic masses. In this article, we review the normal anatomy of the female pelvis, and we discuss ultrasonographic (US), computed tomographic (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of intra- and extraperitoneal nonovarian cystic lesions, which are classified according to their location ( Table ). Nonovarian Cystic Lesions of the Pelvis Click image to enlarge View larger version Normal Pelvic Anatomy Section: Choose prevnext The female pelvis contains a number of anatomic compartments, and it is important to be familiar with these intra- and extraperitoneal spaces. The peritoneum is a thin serosal membrane that either partially or completely covers the visceral organs of the abdomen and pelvis, and it plays an important role in fluid and lymph reabsorption; failure of this process can cause fluid to accumulate in the peritoneal cavity ( 1 )."

Longacre MDShow morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.path.2010.12.011 Get rights and content Abstract This review focuses on recent advances in the area of low-grade ovarian serous neoplasia with emphasis on key diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, and disease classification based on current understanding of low-grade serous carcinogenesis. Despite considerable controversy surrounding serous tumors of low malignant potential (S-LMP) or borderline tumors, there have been great strides in our understanding of the serous group of borderline and malignant pelvic epithelial neoplasms in the past decade. Most S-LMP have a favorable prognosis, but recurrences and progression to carcinoma occur, sometimes following a protracted clinical course. Pathologic risk factors vary, but the extraovarian implant status is the most important predictor for progressive disease. Progression of S-LMP usually takes the form of low-grade serous carcinoma, although transformation to high-grade carcinoma is occasionally seen. A pelvic S-LMP – low-grade serous carcinoma pathway has been proposed based on global gene expression profiling, shared mutations in KRAS and/or BRAF, and in most cases, the presence of S-LMP in de novo low-grade serous carcinoma. Unlike high-grade serous carcinoma, low-grade serous carcinoma responds poorly to standard platinum-based chemotherapy. Development of more tailored therapy for S-LMP with invasive implants and low-grade serous carcinoma, ideally based on a relative risk model for disease progression, is under active clinical investigation.

"text": "\"What is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)? ALS is a progressive, degenerative disease of the nervous system. It is one of a group of diseases, called motor neuron diseases (MND), in which specialized nerve cells that control movement of the voluntary muscles gradually cease functioning and die. These nerve cells, called motor neurons, carry impulses from the brain to the brainstem and the spinal cord. The impulses are then carried to the muscles. The muscles respond to these messages by coordinated relaxation or contraction corresponding to willed movement. In ALS and other motor neuron diseases, motor neurons gradually deteriorate. Because the nerve cells that stimulate them have died, the muscle tissues waste away. This results in progressive muscle weakness, atrophy, and often spasticity, or excess muscle tone. Only the motor neurons are affected."

Clinicians working with alcohol–abusing or alcohol–dependent patients sometimes face a difficult task assessing their patient's psychiatric complaints because heavy drinking associated with alcoholism can coexist with, contribute to, or result from several different psychiatric syndromes. In order to improve diagnostic accuracy, clinicians can follow an algorithm that distinguishes among alcohol–related psychiatric symptoms and signs, alcohol–induced psychiatric syndromes, and independent psychiatric disorders that are commonly associated with alcoholism. The patient's gender, family history, and course of illness over time also should be considered to attain an accurate diagnosis. Moreover, clinicians need to remain flexible with their working diagnoses and revise them as needed while monitoring abstinence from alcohol.

Heavy drinking associated with alcoholism can coexist with, contribute to, or result from several different psychiatric syndromes. As a result, alcoholism can complicate or mimic practically any psychiatric syndrome seen in the mental health setting, at times making it difficult to accurately diagnose the nature of the psychiatric complaints (Anthenelli 1997; Modesto–Lowe and Kranzler 1999). When alcoholism and psychiatric disorders co–occur, patients are more likely to have difficulty maintaining abstinence, to attempt or commit suicide, and to utilize mental health services (Helzer and Przybeck 1988; Kessler et al. 1997)."

Lünemann 2 , Meghann Teague Getts 3 & Stephen D. Miller 3About the authors Top Abstract The predisposition of individuals to several common autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis, is genetically linked to certain human MHC class II molecules and other immune modulators. However, genetic predisposition is only one risk factor for the development of these diseases, and low concordance rates in monozygotic twins, as well as the geographical distribution of disease risk, suggest the involvement of environmental factors in the development of these diseases. Among these environmental factors, infections have been implicated in the onset and/or promotion of autoimmunity. In this Review, we outline the mechanisms by which viral infection can trigger autoimmune disease and describe the pathways by which infection and immune control of infectious disease might be dysregulated during autoimmunity. View At a Glance The immune system walks a fine line to distinguish self from harmful non-self to preserve the integrity of the host. Deficits in this discrimination can result in susceptibility to infections or overreactivity to harmless antigens, leading to immunopathology and autoimmunity. Therefore, it is not surprising that genetic factors that influence the sensitivity of the immune system are associated with autoimmune diseases, but this inherited sensitivity might only result in autoimmunity after exposure to certain environmental factors, including viral infections. This also implies that the overreactive immune system of individuals who are susceptible to autoimmune disease might be triggered by more than one pathogen or even by common pathogens that establish a more severe primary infection in these susceptible individuals. Either possibility makes it difficult to assign a role for distinct pathogens to the development of particular autoimmune diseases."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Radiology Thoracic Hodgkin Disease Imaging Updated: Nov 16, 2016Author: Narainder Gupta, MD, DRM, MSc, FRCR; Chief Editor: Eugene C Lin, MD more... Print Overview Hodgkin disease is a cancer of the lymph system (a lymphoma) that is characterized by the presence of large, abnormal Reed-Sternberg cells in a background of lymphocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and granulocytes. Dr Thomas Hodgkin first described Hodgkin disease in 1832. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]The lymphatic system is composed of lymph nodes, lymphatic channels, the spleen, bone marrow, and the thymus. Because the lymphatic system is located throughout the body, Hodgkin disease can start almost anywhere; however, in this article, only thoracic involvement is addressed. During 2016, approximately 8000 to 8500 patients will have been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, and approximately 1120 patients will have died with this disease. [ 5]Preferred examination CT scanning of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis is performed for initial staging purposes. Compared with other methods, CT is more sensitive for detecting lymphadenopathy and extralymphatic involvement. CT scanning may be most useful for evaluating patients with lymphoma, because it can depict the lymph nodes in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. [ 6, 7, 8]Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is performed in patients with suggested chest wall involvement because it offers better tissue contrast. [ 9]Ultrasonography and echocardiography are useful for detecting pericardial effusion and for directing lymph node biopsies and pleural interventions. ["

Go to: Abstract The aim of this review is to present a pictorial essay emphasizing the various patterns of calcification in pulmonary nodules (PN) to aid diagnosis and to discuss the differential diagnosis and the pathogenesis where it is known. The imaging evaluation of PN is based on clinical history, size, distribution and the gross appearance of the nodule as well as feasibility of obtaining a tissue diagnosis. Imaging is instrumental in the management of PN and one should strive not only to identify small malignant tumors with high survival rates but to spare patients with benign PN from undergoing unnecessary surgery. The review emphasizes how to achieve these goals. One of the most reliable imaging features of a benign lesion is a benign pattern of calcification and periodic follow-up with computed tomography showing no growth for 2 years. Calcification in PN is generally considered as a pointer toward a possible benign disease. However, as we show here, calcification in PN as a criterion to determine benign nature is fallacious and can be misleading."

His wife is performing CPR when you arrive. What are the five common causes of sudden death that could have led to his demise, and what are some symptoms the patient may have been experiencing in the hours or days leading to his arrest? Introduction EMS providers are often faced with patients in cardiac arrest. Many of these patients have complicated medical histories and have been ill for a long period of time. This article will discuss the five major causes of acute sudden death that may occur without warning in previously healthy patients, with a focus on the etiology, recognition and treatment of these conditions. The article is written to better allow prehospital providers to consider these causes and initiate appropriate time-sensitive care whenever possible. The five causes of sudden death discussed in this article are: fatal arrhythmias, acute myocardial infarction, intracranial hemorrhage/massive stroke ( cerebrovascular accident ), massive pulmonary embolism and acute aortic catastrophe.1. Arrhythmia There are many causes of fatal arrhythmias including cardiomyopathies, 1,2 inherited defects in the conduction system (such as prolonged-QT syndrome or Brugada syndrome), 3 and the most commonly associated factor: ischemic injury from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or previous infarct."

Abstract Objective This study aimed to describe the recent trends in youth smoking behaviors, and examine cigar and smokeless tobacco use patterns among youth smokers in New York City. Methods Data, analyzed in 2014, were from the New York City Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a cross-sectional survey conducted bi-annually since 1997 in a representative sample of New York City public high school students (2001–2013), n = 59,122. Results Cigarette smoking declined 53%, from 17.6% in 2001 to 8.2% in 2013 (p < 0.001). The proportion of cigar use among smokers doubled, from 22.2% in 2001 to 45.9% in 2013 (p < 0.001), while the proportion of smokeless tobacco use among smokers increased by 400% between 2001 and 2013 (4.2% vs. 21.2%, p < 0.001). Conclusions Youth cigarette smoking rates in New York City decreased, while cigar smoking and smokeless tobacco use among smokers increased considerably. These data highlight trends in youth smoking behaviors within the context of New York City's comprehensive tobacco control program and stress the need for additional activity to spur further declines in cigarette smoking and reverse the trends in cigar and smokeless tobacco use among New York City youth.

We review the best evidence regarding the pathophysiology, clinical features, investigation, and management of ABS. The incidence of ABS is estimated to be 1% to 2% of patients presenting with an acute myocardial infarction. The pathophysiology remains unknown, but catecholamine mediated myocardial stunning is the most favored explanation. Chest pain and dyspnea are the typical presenting symptoms. Transient ST elevation may be present on the electrocardiogram, and a small rise in cardiac troponin T is invariable. Typically, there is hypokinesis or akinesis of the mid and apical segments of the left ventricle with sparing of the basal systolic function without obstructive coronary lesions. Supportive treatment leads to spontaneous rapid recovery in nearly all patients. The prognosis is excellent, and a recurrence occurs in <10% of patients. Apical ballooning syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with an apparent acute coronary syndrome with left ventricular regional wall motion abnormality and absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, especially in the setting of a stressful trigger."

Nemec b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.crad.2014.11.014 Get rights and content Opacification of the middle ear and mastoid represents a spectrum of inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, fibro-osseous, and traumatic changes. This article reviews the most important clinical and pathological characteristics, emphasizing CT and MRI findings. Knowledge of subtle patterns of middle ear and mastoid opacification at CT and MRI provide guidance towards the correct diagnosis. Previous article Next article Introduction Causes of middle ear and mastoid opacification encompass a clinically, radiologically, and histopathologically heterogeneous group of inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, fibro-osseous, and traumatic changes. 1,2 Changes can be local, however more diffuse involvement may affect even the inner ear or exhibit intracranial extension. 1,2The diagnostic impact can be significant, given the potential for hearing loss, pain, tinnitus, vertigo, and cranial nerve neuropathies. Assessment alongside otoscopic findings through the tympanic membrane is vital, providing potential clues towards the aetiology. For example, a “blue” hue in a cholesterol granuloma or a dehiscent jugular bulb, a “white” lesion in cholesteatoma or schwannoma, or a “red” lesion in a glomus tumour or an aberrant internal carotid artery (ICA) may be visualized. 1For assessment, CT is the primary imaging agent due to excellent spatial resolution and thin section thickness (≤1 mm) enabling detailed evaluation of temporal bone opacification and the ossicles. 1–5 MRI provides added soft-tissue lesion characterization and excellent evaluation of inner ear and cranial nerve involvement."

There appear to be two forms of this disease. In the classical, but less common monophasic type, one or both optic nerves and the spinal cord are affected by a series of attacks over a short period of time (days or weeks) but, after the initial outburst, there is no recurrence. The second form is more common and is characterized by repeated attacks separated by periods of remission. In this form, the interval between attacks may be weeks, months or years. In its early stages, Devic disease may be confused with multiple sclerosis. Signs & Symptoms The characteristic symptoms of neuromyelitis optica are either optic neuritis or myelitis; either may occur as the first symptom. Optic neuritis is inflammation, of the optic nerve (optic neuritis) leading to pain inside the eye which rapidly is followed by loss of clear vision (acuity). Usually, only one eye is affected (unilateral) although both eyes may be involved simultaneously (bilateral)."

"text": "\"Resveratrol: Don't Buy the Hype Stephen Barrett, M. D. Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a compound found largely in the skins of red grapes, is a component of Ko-jo-kon, an oriental medicine used to treat diseases of the blood vessels, heart [1,2], and liver [2]. It came to scientific attention during the mid-1990s as a possible explanation for the \"\"French Paradox\"\"—the low incidence of heart disease among the French people, who eat a relatively high-fat diet [3]. Since then, it has been touted by manufacturers and examined by scientific researchers as an antioxidant [4], an anti-cancer agent, and a phytoestrogen [5]. It has also been advertised on the Internet as \"\"The French Paradox in a bottle.\"\" One company even markets a red-wine extract antioxidant product called \"\"French Parad'ox. \"\" Sources While present in other plants, such as eucalyptus, spruce, and lily, and in other foods such as mulberries and peanuts, resveratrol's most abundant natural sources are Vitis vinifera, labrusca, and muscadine grapes, which are used to make wines. It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in the skin [1], which contains 50-100 micrograms (µg) per gram [4]. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a class of antibiotic compounds produced as a part of a plant's defense system against disease [1]. For example, in response to an invading fungus, resveratrol is synthesized from p-coumaroyl Co A and malonyl Co A [2]. Since fungal infections are more common in cooler climates, grapes grown in cooler climates have a higher concentration [3]. The resveratrol content of wine is related to the length of time the grape skins are present during the fermentation process. Thus the concentration is significantly higher in red wine than in white wine, because the skins are removed earlier during white-wine production, lessening the amount that is extracted [3]. Grape juice, which is not a fermented beverage, is not a significant source of resveratrol. Since wine is the most notable dietary source, it has been the object of much speculation and research. But a recent review noted that (a) the presence of resveratrol in the human diet is almost negligible, and a role for resveratrol in explaining the \"\"French paradox,\"\" has likely been overestimated, and if resveratrol or similar compounds are proven useful against cardiovascular disease, a supplement (or drug) rather diet is likely to be the source [6]. Resveratrol is also available from supplement pills and liquids, in which it is sometimes combined with vitamins and/or other ingredients. It is also an ingredient in topical skin creams. The supplements are generally labeled as containing from 20 to 500 mg per tablet or capsule. However, the purity of these products is unknown."

This article places emphasis on illustrating the classical pathologic characteristics, differential diagnosis, clinical significance, and presentation of common lesions unique to these sites. The initial diagnosis of these lesions is via small endoscopic biopsy. Many of the entities have overlapping histologic features which necessitate optimizing the information available in a small sample. The focus of this article is to provide useful criteria to enable separating the more common types of lesions encountered in these sites.

Although pathologists may often use the terms nodule and polyp interchangeably in the larynx, clinicians make a distinction. Specifically, vocal cord nodules are usually bilateral, occur in young women, and are related to prolonged vocal cord abuse. Vocal cord polyps, however, are unilateral, observed in all age groups, and can be related to infection, smoking, or hypothyroidism. Common symptoms include breaking of the voice to hoarseness."

Or do these two syndromes simply overlap and mimic each other? They certainly share the same symptoms of wide spread musculoskeletal pain and stiffness, but does the liaison end there or do they share a similar underlying disease process? The jury is still out within the medical community, but research teams across the world are in the process of finding out. Joint hypermobility can be defined as having supple joints that have the ability to perform movements beyond the normal range. It is most common in young women and its prevalence can vary between populations. For example, it is believed to affect about 5 % of the Caucasian population compared to a frequency 38 % of Middle Eastern women. 1Joint hypermobility can be diagnosed by asking an individual to perform a series of hyperextensive movements. For example, placing their palms on the floor by leaning forward without bending their knees or placing the palm of their hand on the table and extending their fifth finger backwards by 90 degrees."

"text": "\"Digestive Health Celiac Disease Symptoms What Is Villous Atrophy and What Conditions Cause It? Celiac disease can lead to villous atrophy, but it's not the only possible cause By Jane Anderson | Reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MDUpdated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Sebastian Kaulitzk/Getty Images Villous atrophy occurs when your intestinal villi —the microscopic, finger-like tentacles that line the wall of your small intestine—erode away, leaving a virtually flat surface. Since your intestinal villi are responsible for absorbing the nutrients contained in the food you eat, losing them to villous atrophy can result in serious nutritional deficiencies. Celiac disease is the best-known cause of villous atrophy. When you have celiac and you eat foods containing the protein gluten (contained in the grains wheat, barley, and rye), the gluten triggers an attack by your immune system on your intestinal villi. This autoimmune disease attack eventually leads to villous atrophy, which doctors rate by Marsh Score,a measure of its severity. In the worst-case scenario with celiac disease, your villi can be completely destroyed — total villous atrophy. That's considered Marsh Score 4, and people with that score are likely to be severely malnourished and may be at risk for lymphoma. The only way to see if you have villous atrophy is to look directly inside your small intestine. Doctors do this with a procedure called an endoscopy, in which they thread a device with a tiny camera and other instruments down your throat, through your stomach, and into your small intestine."

Penile discharge is the abnormal loss of fluid that is not urine or semen from the urethra at the tip of the penis. It is commonly the sign of a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and requires prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. The problem is that, while some STDs have clear symptoms and are easy to diagnose, others cause no symptoms at all. However, people carrying them can still transfer an STD to someone else. The latest research indicates that there are more than 25 diseases that could be spread through sexual contact. Most of them are curable but there are some that still cannot be cured. Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Statistical Data About 12 million new STD infections occur in the United States each year and, about 25% of those occur in people between the ages 16 and 19. One in five Americans or approximately 56 million people carry a sexually transmitted disease."

Chlamydia is a common infection spread by sexual contact. While easily treated with antibiotics, many of the nearly three million women and men infected each year do not seek treatment–probably because they don’t realize they have it. And that can lead to complications, including difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term. Chlamydia definition Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. You can get it by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the infection. Chlamydia bacterial infections are more common among sexually active teens and young adults. Chlamydia may cause vaginal or penile discharge or a burning sensation with urination, among other symptoms."

He may be suffering from Phimosis, a common condition in little male children. Read on to know all about Phimosis, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Phimosis Definition Picture 1 – Phimosis Picture Source – causticsodapodcast Phimosis is a medical condition that is characterized by limited exposure of the glans clitoridis, the red mass of tissue that stands at the tip of the penis. This happens when the foreskin of the penis tightly sits over the aperture of the penis and cannot be retracted. In uncircumcised male infants, the foreskin is normally tight in the initial years and become retractable as the boy begins to grow. But in case of Phimosis in infants, the foreskin is not easily retractable and neither does it loosen with time. This causes problems during urination and if not corrected in time, can hinder sexual activity. Phimosis Meaning The term Phimosis comes from the Greek word “phimos” meaning “muzzle” which is an obvious reference to the muzzled or blocked condition of the penis. Types of Phimosis Phimosis may either be congenital or acquired."

Many people, especially young teens, consider oral sex to be \"\"safe\"\" sex. \"\" Safe sex \"\" by many people is defined as having sexual gratification by means that reduces or eliminates the chance of producing a fetus ( pregnancy ). However, medical professionals include in the meaning of \"\"safe sex,\"\" sex practices that prevent or significantly reduce the possibility of getting a disease from a sex partner (for examples, HIV, chlamydia, syphilis, or gonorrhea ). Most doctors do not consider oral (and other) sexual practices \"\"safe\"\" unless precautions are taken to prevent or substantially reduce disease transmission between partners, or if the sex partners are uninfected. Consequently, oral sex (any male or female oral contact with a partner's genitalia; most clinicians also include genital/oral contact with any other body orifice such as the anus or rectum in the definition) is not, without precautions, considered inherently \"\"safe sex\"\" because sexually transmitted diseases ( STD 's) may be transferred by these practices. What is oral gonorrhea? Specifically, oral gonorrhea (also termed pharyngeal gonorrhea) is defined as an STD infection of the pharynx with Gram-negative coccal-shaped (round) bacteria named Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Infection is acquired through direct contact with white/yellowish pus-like fluid (also termed discharge or exudates) containing N. gonorrhoeae bacteria from one sex partner.

"text": "Home Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Peyronie’s Disease Peyronie's Disease Overview & Causes Nonsurgical Treatment Surgical Treatment Patient Concerns Overview & Causes Peyronie's Disease is an inflammatory, benign condition that may cause a curvature, deformity or shortening of the erect penis. This process is produced by scar formation in the fibrous covering of the erectile bodies of the penis. Men may or may not feel tenderness, a lump, or an area of scarring {plaque) in the shaft of the penis. Occasionally, this condition is also associated with pain, and, in some cases, erections and stress on the penis can exacerbate the pain. Many patients with Peyronie's disease suffer psychological trauma, may experience difficulty with sexual intercourse, and may also suffer from erectile dysfunction. Those who suffer from erectile dysfunction, however, may not notice these symptoms. Peyronie's disease occurs more often in men between the ages of 50 and 70, although younger men are not immune. Its' accurate incidence is unknown, but it is not rare. Studies show that about three percent of men over the age of 40 have scar tissue in their penis labeled as Peyronie's disease. However, only a minority of these men have significant enough scarring, curvature, erectile dysfunction, or penile shortening to require medical attention."

"text": "\"The latest estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that there are approximately 19 million new STD infections each year, with almost half of those occurring in teens and young adults ages 15 to 24. What's more, almost half of women have a sexual problem of some sort, according to a report today from Health Day. Since sexually transmitted diseases often are announced only by nonspecific signs (like abdominal pain and fever), they may easily be mistaken for other illnesses—and that means the number of cases may actually be much higher. That's not good, say experts: Certain STDs, undiagnosed and untreated, can wreak havoc, bringing serious and even life-threatening consequences. Here's a list of nine serious STDs—and one that's just a nuisance:1. Chlamydia. Nicknamed the \"\"silent disease,\"\" chlamydia often does its damage unnoticed; indeed, it produces virtually no symptoms in about half the men and three quarters of the women who get it, according to the CDC. But that can mean trouble, especially for women: Infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and dangerous ectopic pregnancies can result if the infection isn't stopped with antibiotics. While men rarely experience complications, the infection can spread to the tube that shuttles sperm, leading to pain, fever, and a remote chance of sterility. Once a woman has been infected with chlamydia, she is up to five times more likely to contract HIV if exposed to the virus."

We also cover a related, more general male condition called Balanitis (see bottom of this page). Male Yeast Infection Men can develop a yeast infection although it’s not as common for men as it is for women. While outbreaks of yeast overgrowth can show up anywhere on the body the most common locations are the mouth, skin and the male genitals. Oral yeast infection, often called thrush, is covered on our Oral Thrush page [future page]. The rest of this page focuses on penile yeast infection. Women should also be familiar with male yeast infection symptoms since it is possible for partners to transmit the yeast infection back and forth. SYMPTOMSThe major symptoms of penile yeast infection in men is irritation, itching, and soreness of the head of the penis. The head may also show redness and have small white blisters. Other male yeast infection symptoms burn sensation with urination or other contact."

A species of considerable medical importance, P. aeruginosa is a multidrug resistant pathogen recognized for its ubiquity, its intrinsically advanced antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and its association with serious illnesses – hospital-acquired infections such as ventilator-associated pneumonia and various sepsis syndromes. The organism is considered opportunistic insofar as serious infection often occurs during existing diseases or conditions – most notably cystic fibrosis and traumatic burns. It is also found generally in the immunocompromised but can infect the immunocompetent as in hot tub folliculitis. Treatment of P. aeruginosa infections can be difficult due to its natural resistance to antibiotics. When more advanced antibiotic drug regimens are needed adverse effects may result. It is citrate, catalase, and oxidase positive. It is found in soil, water, skin flora, and most man-made environments throughout the world. It thrives not only in normal atmospheres, but also in low-oxygen atmospheres, thus has colonized many natural and artificial environments."

Bacterial pathogens were isolated from 614 individuals. A single etiologic agent was identified in 271 patients, multiple agents were found in 343, and no agent was identified in 62. A high preponderance of aerobic bacteria was observed. Among the common pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (191 patients, 28.2%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (170 patients, 25.2%), Escherichia coli (53 patients, 7.8%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (48 patients, 7.1%), and Enterococcus faecalis (38 patients, 5.6%). A wound is the result of physical disruption of the skin, one of the major obstacles to the establishment of infections by bacterial pathogens in internal tissues. When bacteria breach this barrier, infection can result ( 1, 7 ). The most common underlying event for all wounds is trauma. Trauma may be accidental or intentionally induced."

The availability of these agents rapidly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with a host of formerly fatal diseases . Dr. T. V. Rao MD 2Microbes follow the Darwin's Theory: Microbes follow the Darwin's Theory The widespread use of antibiotics has been associated with what we now know to be the predictable emergence of resistance. Early confidence that infections would eventually be conquered has given way to a greater appreciation of the genetic flexibility of common human pathogens Dr. T. V. Rao MD 3ESKAPE AND CDC: ESKAPE AND CDC According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the six ESKAPE bacteria are responsible for two thirds of all health care-associated infections ( HAIs) Dr. T.

"text": "With warmer spring days and cooler nights upon us, plus summer vacations (hopefully) in the not-too-distant future, it’s officially hot tub season. ( Not to mention The Bachelorette starts back up again on Monday, meaning a summer full of steamy hot tub moments awaits on reality TV if not in actual real life. ) But while a soak in the hot tub may sound relaxing, is it hygienic? Does shaking in a few chemicals actually do the trick? We turned to a couple of experts — Michele Hlavsa, RN, MPH, an epidemiologist and chief of healthy swimming for the Centers for Disease Control of Prevention and Charles Gerba, Ph. D., a professor of microbiology and environmental studies at The University of Arizona — to find out. It turns out, you can pick up some unappetizing and even dangerous bugs from a hot tub dip, both from the water itself and also from the steamy atmosphere around it. Unlike a pool, the warmer temperature of a hot tub makes it more difficult to maintain the proper disinfectant levels that kill certain germs, Hlavsa explains. One common germ is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can result in an infection called Pseudomonas folliculitis, or the aptly-chosen nickname, “hot tub rash. ”Pseudomonas aeruginosa is commonly found in water and soil, and multiplies in the water when disinfectant levels dip."

"text": "Pseudomonas Infections Pseudomonas is a small, gram-negative bacillus that primarily produces nosocomial infections, superinfections of various parts of the body, and a rare disease called melioidosis. The most common infections associated with Pseudomonas include skin infections (such as burns and pressure ulcers), urinary tract infections, infant epidemic diarrhea and other diarrheal illnesses, bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, meningitis. corneal ulcers, mastoiditis, otitis externa, and otitis media. This bacillus is especially, associated with bacteremia, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis in drug addicts. In local Pseudomonas infections, treatment usually is successful and complications rare. However, in patients with poor resistance to infection (for example, premature infants, elderly people, and persons with debilitating disease, burns, or wounds), septicemic Pseudomonas infections are considered serious. In some patients they may even cause death. Causes The most serious infections occur in debilitated patients with diminished resistance resulting from other disease or therapy. Pseudomonas infections occur most often in hospitals, where the organism is frequently found in moist areas such as sinks, antiseptic solutions, and urine receptacles. Cross infection transmitted from patient to patient via the hands of personnel may occur in outbreaks of urinary tract infections, on burn units and in neonatal intensive care nurseries."

This suggests an interplay between immunogenetic susceptibility, immune dysregulation, bacterial infection, and lung damage. The damaged epithelium impairs mucus removal and facilitates bacterial infection with increased cough, sputum production, and airflow obstruction. Lung infection is caused by respiratory bacterial and fungal pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and nontuberculous mycobacteria. Recent studies have highlighted the relationship between the lung microbiota and microbial-pathogen niches. Disease may result from environments favoring interleukin-17-driven neutrophilia. Bronchiectasis may present in autoimmune disease, as well as conditions of immune dysregulation, such as combined variable immune deficiency, transporter associated with antigen processing–deficiency syndrome, and hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome. Differences in prevalence across geography and ethnicity implicate an etiological mix of genetics and environment underpinning susceptibility. Keywordslung, immunity, bacterial infection, microbiota INTRODUCTIONBronchiectasis is an obstructive lung disease that presents with chronic cough and sputum production, recurrent bacterial infection, tiredness, and progressive lung damage."

P. aeruginosa grown under anaerobic and biofilm conditions may better approximate in vivo growth conditions in the CF airways, and combination antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobically and biofilm-grown isolates may be more relevant than traditional susceptibility testing under planktonic aerobic conditions. We tested 16 multidrug-resistant isolates of P. aeruginosa derived from CF patients using multiple combination bactericidal testing to compare the efficacies of double and triple antibiotic combinations against the isolates grown under traditional aerobic planktonic conditions, in planktonic anaerobic conditions, and in biofilm mode. Both anaerobically grown and biofilm-grown bacteria were significantly less susceptible ( P < 0.01) to single and combination antibiotics than corresponding aerobic planktonically grown isolates. Furthermore, the antibiotic combinations that were bactericidal under anaerobic conditions were often different from those that were bactericidal against the same organisms grown as biofilms. The most effective combinations under all conditions were colistin (tested at concentrations suitable for nebulization) either alone or in combination with tobramycin (10 μg ml −1 ), followed by meropenem combined with tobramycin or ciprofloxacin. The findings of this study illustrate that antibiotic sensitivities are dependent on culture conditions and highlight the complexities of choosing appropriate combination therapy for multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa in the CF lung. Infection of the respiratory tract by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) ( 15 ). Recent advances in antimicrobial therapy against lung pathogens have dramatically contributed to increased life expectancy of CF patients."

Staphylococcus aureus biofilm on an indwelling catheter IUPAC definition Aggregate of microorganisms in which cells that are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) adhere to each other and/or to a surface. Note 1: A biofilm is a system that can be adapted internally to environmental conditions by its inhabitants. Note 2: The self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which is also referred to as slime, is a polymeric conglomeration generally composed of extracellular biopolymers in various structural forms. [ 1]. A biofilm comprises any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other and often also to a surface. [ 2] [3] These adherent cells become embedded within a slimy extracellular matrix that is composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). [ 2] [3] The cells within the biofilm produce the EPS components, which are typically a polymeric conglomeration of extracellular polysaccharides, proteins and DNA. [ 2] [3] Because they have three-dimensional structure and represent a community lifestyle for microorganisms, they have been metaphorically described as \"\"cities for microbes\"\". [ 4] [5]Biofilms may form on living or non-living surfaces and can be prevalent in natural, industrial and hospital settings. [ 3] [6] The microbial cells growing in a biofilm are physiologically distinct from planktonic cells of the same organism, which, by contrast, are single-cells that may float or swim in a liquid medium.

Share Email Print Feedback Approach Considerations P aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to certain antibiotics and can potentially acquire resistance during treatment (see Presentation/Causes for risk factors). Medical Care Antimicrobials are the mainstay of therapy. Two-drug combination therapy, such as an antipseudomonal beta-lactam with an aminoglycoside, can be used. Endocarditis A high-dose aminoglycoside (eg, tobramycin 8 mg/kg/d) and an extended-spectrum penicillin in combination with a beta-lactamase inhibitor (eg, ticarcillin-clavulanate or piperacillin-tazobactam) or antipseudomonal cephalosporin (eg, cefepime) are used for 6 weeks. Renal function and aminoglycoside level should be monitored. Surgical evaluation is required because many patients with right-sided endocarditis require valvulectomy, especially if the bacteremia is not cleared after 2-6 weeks of antibiotics. For left-sided disease, early surgery is usually required for those with refractory bacteremia or hemodynamic instability. Pneumonia Most experts recommend starting with 2 antipseudomonal antibiotics and then de-escalating to monotherapy. Except in patients with cystic fibrosis, the role of an aerosolized aminoglycoside or ceftazidime is controversial. Efficacy appears to be greater in patients with cystic fibrosis, in whom aerosolized aminoglycosides have been shown to assist clinical improvement and symptom abatement."

"text": "Background In 1882, Gessard first discovered Pseudomonas, a strictly aerobic, gram-negative bacterium of relatively low virulence. The organism is ubiquitous, with a predilection to moist environments, primarily as waterborne and soilborne organisms. Pseudomonal species have been found in soil, water, plants, and animals; Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization reportedly occurs in more than 50% of humans, and P aeruginosa is the most common pseudomonal species. Pseudomonas is a clinically significant and opportunistic pathogen, often causing nosocomial infections. In addition to causing serious and often life-threatening diseases, these organisms exhibit innate resistance to many antibiotics and can develop new resistance after exposure to antimicrobial agents. Some pseudomonal species that previously were considered the causative agents of old diseases now are being reexamined for their potential use as biological warfare agents. The current classification of the genus Pseudomonas is divided into 5 groups based on ribosomal RNA (r RNA)/DNA homology. Of the more than 20 pseudomonal species that have been found from human clinical specimens, the following 4 representative organisms are discussed in this article: P aeruginosa (homology group I)Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia (group II)Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) pseudomallei (group II)Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) mallei (group II)Next: Pathophysiology"

[ 1] [5] Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. [ 1] Other signs and symptoms may include sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of the fingers and toes, and infertility in most males. [ 1] Different people may have different degrees of symptoms. [ 1]CF is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [ 1] It is caused by the presence of mutations in both copies of the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. [ 1] Those with a single working copy are carriers and otherwise mostly normal. [ 3] CFTR is involved in production of sweat, digestive fluids, and mucus. [ 6] When CFTR is not functional, secretions which are usually thin instead become thick. [ 7] The condition is diagnosed by a sweat test and genetic testing. ["

Baby Ganics hand sanitizer has a 0.1% benzalkonium chloride content. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a major non-alcohol-based active ingredient used for clinical, food line, and domestic household biocides [14,17]. A biocide is a general term for a chemical agent, that may be applied topically in/on living tissue ( antiseptic) or on inanimate objects ( disinfectant ), in order to inhibit growth of ( “-static”) or kill ( “-cidal”) microorganisms [28]. Antiseptic hand sanitizers have been shown to subdue the prevalence of the common cold, acute respiratory syndromes, gastroenteritis, viral influenza, and more [1,13,15,20,21,22,24,25]. Similarly, they are important in limiting hospital-acquired ( nosocomial) infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSAs), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VREs) [4,8,12,14,16,23]. For such preventative measures, there are a variety of hand sanitizers available with alcohol-based and alcohol-free antiseptic agents including ethanol, triclosan and benzalkonium chloride [17,21]. Despite speculations of evolving resistance, BACs are extensively used biocides especially potent against enveloped microorganisms like Gram-positive bacteria and some viruses [14,17,18]. General Mode of Antiseptic Activity Comparative amphiphilicity of benzalkonium chloride and phospholipid molecules. Aside from the generality that antiseptics have less specific activities with multiple target sites compared to antibiotics, current studies on the mechanistic details of particular antiseptics remains largely inconclusive [16,18]. This broad level of activity is well summarized by the antiseptic first interacting with the cell surface, penetrating into the cell, then acting at intracellular target sites [18]. The details of each antiseptic depend on the biocide’s chemical nature, the pathogen, and the test conditions (eg. antiseptic concentration, p H, time of exposure, and temperature) [23]. Although antiseptic mechanisms lack mechanistic details, the general activity is still well agreed upon. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs)Benzalkonium chloride. Benzalkonium chloride is classified as a Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QAC), NR4+ where R can be different carbon-hydrogen groups, and are a common antiseptic, because of their amphiphilicity (hydrophobic and hydrophilic) [10,19]. BAC’s hydrophilic cationic region destabilizes the pathogen’s surface through electrostatic interactions with negatively charged components displacing surface-stabilizing cations [9,10,18]. Subsequently, BAC's hydrophobic region penetrates the hydrophobic bilayer to cause cell leakage [10,17,18]. The ultimate effect of BACs is to damage the pathogen’s membrane, and disrupt essential processes like ATP synthesis or solute uptake [18]. Therefore BAC’s amphiphilicity is critical in interacting with target membranes for efficacious antimicrobial action. Susceptible Microorganisms The key component of BAC’s antimicrobial activity is membrane destruction [10]. This is most effective against Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria, some enveloped viruses, fungi, yeasts and protozoa due to varying surface structures [10].

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Pseudomonas aeruginosa has become an important cause of gram-negative infection, especially in patients with compromised host defense mechanisms. It is the most common pathogen isolated from patients who have been hospitalized longer than 1 week, and it is a frequent cause of nosocomial infections. Pseudomonal infections are complicated and can be life-threatening. Signs and symptoms Pseudomonal infections can involve the following parts of the body, with corresponding symptoms and signs: Respiratory tract (eg, pneumonia)Bloodstream (bacteremia)Heart ( endocarditis )CNS (eg, meningitis, brain abscess)Ear (eg, otitis externa and media)Eye (eg, bacterial keratitis, endophthalmitis)Bones and joints (eg, osteomyelitis)GI tract (eg, diarrhea, enteritis, enterocolitis)Urinary tract Skin (eg, ecthyma gangrenosum )Physical findings depend on the site and nature of the infection, as follows: Endocarditis: Fever, murmur, and positive blood culture findings; peripheral stigmata such as Roth spots, Janeway lesions, Osler nodes, splinter hemorrhages, and splenomegaly Pneumonia: Rales, rhonchi, fever, cyanosis, retractions, and hypoxia; occasionally shock; with cystic fibrosis, clubbing, increased anteroposterior (AP) diameter, and malnutrition GI tract: Fever, signs of dehydration, abdominal distention, and signs of peritonitis; physical findings of Shanghai fever Skin and soft tissue infections: Hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions, with surrounding erythema; subcutaneous nodules, deep abscesses, cellulitis, and fasciitis; in burns, black or violaceous discoloration or eschar Skeletal infections: Local tenderness and a decreased range of motion; neurologic deficits Eye infections: Lid edema, conjunctival erythema and chemosis, and severe mucopurulent discharge Malignant otitis externa: Erythematous, swollen, and inflamed external auditory canal; local lymphadenopathy Bacteremia: Fever, tachypnea, and tachycardia; hypotension and shock; jaundice See Clinical Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis Laboratory studies that may be helpful include the following: Complete blood count (CBC)Blood cultures In urinary tract infection (UTI), urinalysis In pneumonia, culture of sputum and respiratory secretions, as well as blood gas analysis Wound and burn cultures and cultures from other body fluids and secretions according to the clinical scenario Gram stain and culture of CSF if meningitis is suspected Imaging studies that may be warranted include the following: Chest radiography Triple-phase bone scanning in suspected skeletal infection (though many prefer MRI)Brain CT or MRI of the brain for suspected pseudomonal brain abscess Renal ultrasonography for suspected of perinephric abscess complicating UTIEchocardiography for suspected endocarditis with positive blood culture findings Other tests and procedures that may be helpful in specific scenarios include the following: Fluorescein staining and slit-lamp examination of the cornea for keratitis Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage or bronchial brushing Thoracocentesis Lumbar puncture with cell count and cultures See Workup for more detail. Management Antimicrobials are the mainstay of therapy. It is important to consider antibiotic resistance when selecting the regimen. Combination therapy should be used in severe infection. Recommended pharmacologic approaches to specific infections are as follows: Endocarditis: Give a high-dose aminoglycoside plus an extended-spectrum penicillin or antipseudomonal cephalosporin for 6 weeks; surgical evaluation is required Pneumonia: Start with 2 antipseudomonal antibiotics, then deescalating to monotherapy (eg, according to American Thoracic Society-Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines)Bacteremia: Initiate intravenous antipseudomonal antibiotic therapy before a specific diagnosis is made; subsequent presumptive therapy includes an aminoglycoside plus a broad-spectrum antipseudomonal penicillin or cephalosporin; alternatives include fluoroquinolones and rifampin. In the setting of neutropenia, which carries a high mortality rate, two intravenous antipseudomonal antibiotics from different classes should be used."

They are non-spore forming and can produce pigments, such as pyocyanine (green-blue) and pyorubrin (yellow-green) fluorescence 1, 4 - 7. P. aeruginosa can produce a large variety of extracellular toxins, including exotoxin A and enterotoxins 8. Other substances such as hydrocyanic acid, proteolytic enzymes, toxic surface slime, and haemolytic substances may also contribute to the pathogenicity of this species. Toxins combined with harmful substances are determinant factors in the high virulence of P. aeruginosa in a variety of different hosts 9. SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONPATHOGENICITY/TOXICITY: As opportunistic pathogens, Pseudomonas spp. often invades the host tissue and cause infection and bacteremia in immunocompromised hosts (e.g., HIV/AIDS, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, burns, malignancy, or diabetes mellitus) 10 , 11 . The common site of infection is the lower respiratory tract, and severity ranges from colonization without immunological response to severe necrotizing bronchopneumonia; such severe infection in patients with cystic fibrosis is almost impossible to eradicate once established in the airways 12 . Pseudomonal pneumonia often develops from oro-pharyngeal contamination or secondary bacteremia, and is also a common cause of nosocomial ventilator-related pneumonia in intensive care settings."

"text": "Cedar Tree Diseases Posted by admin in Cedar Trees Cedar trees are susceptible to various diseases. The two most common types of cedar trees, Western Red Cedar and Eastern White Cedar, are often affected by root diseases and fungal infections such as root rot, Phytophthora disease, and cedar-apple rust. Root Rot Root rot, most commonly armillaria root rot, is frequently found in both red and white cedar trees. There is no cure and the disease is lethal to the tree. Root rot can be detected by the observation of white fungus, which spreads under the bark. This fungal mycelium is most commonly found towards the base of the tree or in the roots. The fungus will travel through the roots to neighboring trees and eventually kill all affected trees. Phytophthora Disease Phytophthora disease has many different strains that affect many plant species. The type that most commonly affects cedar trees is also known as phytophthora lateralis, or Port-Orford-Cedar Root Disease. A cedar damaged by this disease will have roots that appear to be wet, as the roots take on a very dark color."

While it's true that proper mulching can dramatically improve the health and vigor of landscape plants, it's just as true that improper mulching can stress and even kill plants. Let's look at the right, and wrong, ways to use mulch. Mulch materials There are two basic choices of mulch: inorganic and organic. Inorganic mulches such as lava rock, mineral rock and gravel, pulverized rubber, geotextile fabrics and so on do not readily decompose. This makes them long-lived and, therefore, low-maintenance, which is why many contractors prefer them. Organic mulches are usually derived from plants or plant parts and include materials such as cocoa hulls, conifer needles, leaves, grass, newspaper, straw, hardwood and softwood (conifer) bark, wood chips and other wood products. When considering mulch longevity, remember that conifers (softwoods) decompose more quickly than hardwoods, finely textured mulch more quickly than coarse mulch, succulent tissues more quickly than woody materials and fresh tissue more quickly than dry. Wood content (cellulose, for practical purposes) is important in determining longevity."

Hurricane-susceptible communities should consider wind resistance as one of their criteria in tree species selection. Introduction When hurricanes strike land, along with damage to property such as houses, power lines, and commercial buildings, they may cause damage to trees in the urban forest. Yet, sometimes a fallen tree may be side-by-side with one which is standing and appears unaffected by the winds. This varied wind resistance by different trees may be due to many factors such as tree age, size, health, and species. In 1995 two hurricanes impacted the Florida Panhandle.

Root rot commonly affects the hinoki cypress and its many cultivars, often due to waterlogged or over saturated soil. Basics and Identification When phytophthora fungus affects plants such as the hinoki cypress, it is known as root rot. This soilborne fungus attacks the roots of the tree, inhibiting it from absorbing essential water and nutrients. Initially, root root symptoms are not visible to the naked eye. When affected, the hinoki cypress features brittle brown or rust-colored roots, or discolored feeder roots. Root rot may affect the entire root system or isolated areas of the root system. In later stages, the fungus affects the tree just above the soil line. At this point, the plant may exhibit brown or rust-colored bark near the base of its trunk."

It rarely causes severe damage to the trees but severely infected trees may lose all of their leaves. Control anthracnose by treating trees with fungicides in the spring and stop further spread of anthracnose by removing and burning infected leaves, branches and twigs.

Preventive Care Maintain cypress trees according to their particular requirements, as healthy trees have a heightened capacity to avoid and handle illness. Most cypress trees thrive in areas of the landscape that provide full sun. These trees prefer moist, well-drained soil. Waterlogged soil may encourage fungal root rot disease. However, different species have specific care requirements."

"text": "Sort by: Cedar-Apple Rust Cedar-Apple Rust disease is a very common disease which affects cedar trees, junipers and apple trees. It is unique because in order for it to perpetuate itself, it must alternate between an apple tree and a cedar or juniper tree. It is therefore important to treat all apple trees, junipers and cedar trees in an area, regardless of whether they are yet showing symptoms. The symptoms of Cedar-apple Rust are most identifiable on apple trees. In the mid to late spring small pale yellow spots appear on the upper surfaces of the leaves. As the season progresses the spots grow in size and small black or brown spots develop in the centre of the larger yellowish spot. As the spots develop and the tree comes under more stress, leaves and fruit will drop prematurely. Cedar-apple Rust is common on both fruit-producing apple trees as well as ornamental flowering apples. In the spring the fungal spores from the brown and red galls on juniper or red cedar trees are blown by the wind on to the leaves of apple trees where the spores infect the apple tree and rapidly multiply during wet periods. As the season progresses, the fungal spores from the apple tree are blown back on to juniper and red cedar trees where a new infection takes place."

Picture provided by Beth Witherup Hi Ruth,It looks like we have some sort of orange fungus growing on our apple trees. What is the best way to fight this while keeping our apple trees organic? Thank you,Beth Dear Beth,Cedar Apple Rust on Foliage, Photo from NC State The orange spots on your apple trees are a type of rust. Apples are susceptible to three kinds of rust: cedar apple rust, quince rust, and hawthorn rust. All three rusts are caused by spores that overwinter as galls on trees in the juniper family – especially the Eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana. Spring rains cause the galls to swell and produce gelatinous “horns” that start producing spores. Only ONE large gall can produce billions of spores. The spores are quickly released during wet periods in spring, and are carried on air currents infecting apples, crabapples, quince, pear, hawthorne, serviceberry, and mountain ash. Cedar apple rust galls resemble something from outer space, and their spores can travel over 2 miles."

European explorers came to the \"\"New World\"\" o f North America in the 1500s. Before that time, the continent was an unknown place to them. These adventurers saw it as an entirely new land, with animals and plants to discover. They also met new people in this exciting New World—people with fascinating lifeways that the Europeans had never seen and languages they had never heard. This New World for Europeans was actually a very old world for the various people they met in North America. Today we call those people American Indians. Archaeologists tell us that American Indians may have been on the North American continent for fifty thousand years. They were the first Americans, and they were great explorers, too.

"text": "\"Rural Health Topics & States Topics Rural Health Disparities Rural Americans are a population group that experiences significant health disparities. Health disparities are differences in health status when compared to the general population, often characterized by indicators such as higher incidence of disease and disability, increased mortality rates, lower life expectancies, and higher rates of pain and suffering. Rural risk factors for health disparities include geographic isolation, lower socio-economic status, higher rates of health risk behaviors, and limited job opportunities. Higher rates of chronic illness and poor overall health are found in rural communities when compared to urban populations. Several studies have shown that rural residents are older, poorer, and have fewer physicians to care for them. This inequality is intensified as rural residents are less likely to have employer-provided healthcare coverage, and if they are poor, often are not covered by Medicaid. Federal and state agencies and membership organizations are working to reduce these disparities and improve the health and overall well-being of rural America. Some provide funding, information, and technical assistance to be used at the state, regional, and local level, while others inform state and federal legislators to help them understand the issues affecting population health and healthcare in rural America. For an in-depth look at rural health disparities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Rural Health Series examines rural mortality and preventable deaths, health-related behaviors, chronic disease, and related topics. Additional insights and data are available in the Rural Health Reform Policy Research Center's 2014 Update of the Rural-Urban Chartbook and Exploring Rural and Urban Mortality Differences ."

Jump to: Definition Facts Statistics Publications Awareness Lupus Systemic lupus erythematosus, often abbreviated as SLE or lupus, is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. There are many kinds of lupus. The most common type is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects many internal organs in the body. SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. Childhood systemic lupus erythematosus generally presents between the ages of 3 and 15, with girls outnumbering boys 4:1, and typical skin manifestations being butterfly eruption on the face and photosensitivity. Main Document An Introduction to Lupus Lupus is an autoimmune disease. Lupus can affect different parts of the body; to include the heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, skin, and joints such as elbows, knees, or hips. In a person unaffected by Lupus, the immune system produces proteins called, 'antibodies,' in order to protect the body from bacteria, antigens, and viruses. For a person who has Lupus the immune system cannot differentiate between antigens and the tissues and cells in the body."

Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, American Indians were remarkably free of serious diseases. People did not often die from diseases. As the European explorers and colonists began to arrive, this changed and the consequences were disastrous for Native American people. The death tolls from the newly introduced European diseases often reached 80-90 percent. Entire groups of people vanished before the tidal wave of disease. Aboriginal Health: If we were to compare the overall health of American Indians in North America with that of Europeans in 1500, we would find that Indians were generally healthier. There are a number of reasons for this. First, Indians had better diets and they were less likely to face starvation and hunger.

The Europeans’ horses were large and majestic compared to the small animals that the Americans were used to. Cows and pigs were also introduced from the Old World, which brought beef and pork to America. Rice from Asia soon began to grow in America. Likewise, plants and animals from America were brought back to the Old World. Before the Age of Exploration, crops such as potatoes, cacoa and tobacco had never been seen in the New World, nor had livestock such as turkey. The Age of Exploration brought delicious flavors to both sides of the Atlantic, and almost every food that we eat today results from this connection. Ways of Life The connection between the Europeans and the Americans allowed their ways of living to completely change, usually for the better.

Reprinted with permission from Mariners Museum, Newport News, VA www.mariner.org It was called the Age of Exploration. It was the era during which explorers threw open the doors to new lands and not only made exciting discoveries, but also helped develop a larger global economy. The people living on the continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe, known as the Old World, already had access to each other, but broadened their world when they introduced themselves to the Americas, bringing with them their cultures, plants, animals, and, unfortunately, disease. In turn, the New World sent its cultures, plants, animals, and disease back to the Old World. This was the Great Exchange. Early explorers such as Christopher Columbus set sail for Asia, hoping to bring back exotic spices, gold, and other goods to be sold at reasonable prices. Spices were valued because Europeans used them as flavoring for food, preservatives, and medicine. In fact, spices such as pepper and cloves made the long journey from Southeast Asia (modern day Indonesia) to India, then Arabia, and finally to Italy. As the journey progressed, as one trader followed the other, each increased the price of the spices as they moved westward until the price was so high in Europe, only royalty could afford to buy them."

Global Is Warming Caused by Human Activities The major issue that is discussed today is global warming, which is considered a threat to the earth in coming future. Global warming is the raise in the average temperature of the Earth's surface, atmosphere and oceans. There are always two sides to every story and when it comes to the discussion of global warming there are two very different points-of-view. The world seems to be divided between global warming caused by humans and it caused due to natural reasons. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the noticed temperature increase was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced due to human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The IPCC also concludes that changes in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming and had a small cooling effect afterward. I strongly believe that global warming is a phenomenon caused by human activities, which results in a raise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."

"text": "Global Warming Facts For Kids Now is the right time to discover the most important global warming facts for kids. The release of carbon dioxide together with other heat-trapping gases (like carbon dioxide and methane) into the earth’s atmosphere gives rise to a phenomenon known as global warming. It so happens that the gases absorb the sun’s heat thereby acting like a dense cloud, leaving the planet warmer. The thick blanket of these gases is created by the burning of fossil fuels in power plants and in our cars. Global Warming Facts For Kids The most important greenhouse gas is CO 2 which is discharged when fossil fuels like petrol, oil, and coal are burnt or when trees are felled or burnt. Most of the methane derives from the livestock for food. Solar radiation reaches the earth from the sun and is absorbed by the surface of the earth. The radiation which the earth’s surface releases is in turn absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. There is clear evidence that the earth’s temperature is on the rise and the atmosphere is getting warmer. In the last hundred years, the global average temperature has risen by 0.6 o C. The year 1998 is believed to be the warmest year, while the 1990’s the warmest decade ever recorded in the history of 1,000 years."

Flag What effect does pollution have on the atmosphere? Answer by Eoin Cumming Confidence votes 2One concern is global dimming for example: soot and dust form clouds that reflect the sun rays back before they reach the earth. Another concern is global warming: carbon dioxide produced from buring fuel and many other things forms a layer around the earth that traps sun rays inside the earth and deflect them. When the sun rays travel from the sun to the earth the rays are supposed to hit the ground and bounce back to space. however, the carbon dioxide prevents the rays from being reflected back into space so the result is that the heat is contained in the atmosphere. This causes the earth to heat up much more than it is supposed to be so ice bergs are melting, sea levels are rising and the weather is changing. Also CFCs have been known for creating 'holes' in the ozone layer and these holes mean that harmful sun rays can reach planet earth.

The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global temperatures. Despite experiencing indicators of global warming, little action has been taken as opportunistic oil companies desire to continuously exploit the human need of energy consumption which is ever increasing and hence these companies are always in a constant look for gases and oil sources. In the current world, most countries rely heavily on the use of fossil fuels especially industries in the developed world that heavily relies on fossil fuels to produce energy needed in the production of goods and services. Heat products obtained from burning fossil fuels are also used for heating and are converted to electrical power generation and vehicle’s mechanical energy. Burning of fossil fuel however results into numerous adverse effects ranging from air pollution, global warming, destruction of forest, emergence of new illnesses and deaths, greenhouse effect among others. Based on critical analysis of numerous literature evidences, this dissertation presents the wide range of impact of fossil fuel on the environment.

"text": "\"Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, meaning that it is among a family of gases including water vapor, ozone, and nitrous oxide. Together, these gases make the Earth habitable, by increasing heat efficiency and keeping the temperature of the planet stable. The issue with carbon dioxide in particular is that there is currently more of it in the atmosphere than there should be, and it is starting to trap too much heat as a result. The extra heat trapped by the growing number of greenhouse gases is leading to a phenomenon called global warming. Many things generate carbon dioxide naturally, including respiration, volcanic eruptions, and fires. In a natural cycle, much of this compound is taken up by trees, who use it for energy, producing oxygen as a byproduct. Carbon dioxide is actually a very important greenhouse gas, and an important part of the process that makes Earth so pleasant to live on. The amount being generated, however, started to outstrip the Earth's abilities to handle it in the 20th century. As a result, a steady rise in the atmospheric gas was observed, and scientists also began to link it with a slow creep in global temperatures. The difference of only a few degrees in annual average temperatures has the potential to be devastating, and many nations are beginning to be concerned about carbon dioxide."

Will On 10/13/07 at 11:30 AMShare Culture Economics is \"\"the dismal science,\"\" in part because it puts a price tag on the pleasure of moralizing. This is pertinent to the crusade, often masquerading as journalism, aimed at hectoring developed nations into taking \"\"strong\"\" actions against global warming. For such nations (developing nations have more pressing priorities), the question, plainly put, is: How much are they willing to pay—in direct expenditures, forgone economic growth, inefficiencies and constricted freedom—in order to have a negligible effect on climate change? Zealots say fighting global warming is a moral imperative, so cost-benefit analyses are immoral. Like our Manichaean president, they have a simple fixation: Are you with us or not? But in his book \"\"Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming,\"\" the Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg suggests that global warming, although real, is not apt to be severe; that many of its consequences will be beneficial, and that the exorbitant costs of attempting to substantially curtail it would squander resources that, put to other uses, could have effects thousands of times more ameliorative. He offers cautionary calculations: The warming that is reasonably projected might be problematic, although not devastating, for the much-fretted-about polar bears, but it will be beneficial for other species. The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment anticipates increasing species richness. Global warming was blamed for 35,000 deaths in Europe's August 2003 heat wave. Cold, however, has caused 25,000 deaths a year recently in England and Wales—47,000 in each winter from 1998 to 2000."

The greenhouse effect is caused by a build up of gases (notably carbon dioxide and methane, among others) in the atmosphere that prevent heat radiating from the planet's surface out into space. This means that gradually more heat is retained by the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The ozone layer is damaged by gases such as Chloroflurocarbons (CFC's) which thins the ozone layer, or causes it to disappear completely in places (over the poles, generally).

If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today. And yet the swelling seas — and the cities they will drown — have so dominated the picture of global warming, and so overwhelmed our capacity for climate panic, that they have occluded our perception of other threats, many much closer at hand. Rising oceans are bad, in fact very bad; but fleeing the coastline will not be enough. Indeed, absent a significant adjustment to how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth will likely become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century. Even when we train our eyes on climate change, we are unable to comprehend its scope.

He proposed a relation between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and temperature. He and Thomas Chamberlin calculated that human activities could warm the earth by adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This was not actually verified until 1987; in 1988 it was finally acknowledged that the climate was warmer than any period since 1880. The greenhouse effect theory was named and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded by the United Nations Environmental Programme and the World Meteorological Organization. This organization tries to predict the impact of the greenhouse effect according to existing climate models and literature information. Read more The Natural Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ozone, methane, for example) trap energy that comes from the sun. These gases are usually called greenhouse gases since they behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. The glass panels of the greenhouse let in the light but keep heat from escaping and this is similar to the effect these gasses have on earth. Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the greenhouse gases."

"text": "Prions and Prion disease Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE's) are a group of progressive neurodegenerative conditions. These illnesses exist in both animals and humans. Scrapie, a disease affecting sheep and goats, was the first prion disease to be identified in the 1730s. In more recent years other prion diseases have been seen in animals, the most common of which is bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Various forms of the disease have been identified since Creutzfeldt and Jakob first described the illness later known as CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) in the 1920s. These diseases in humans are now grouped together according to whether they are sporadic, inherited, or acquired. Most cases of prion disease are sporadic; that is, they arise spontaneously for no known reason. More rarely prion disease is inherited due to a faulty gene, or acquired by medical procedures, transfusions, or contaminated food. Sporadic and inherited prion disease occurs worldwide in all populations. The incidence of sporadic CJD is around 1 per million of the population per annum; males and females are equally affected."

"text": "Prion immunology and immunotherapy Prion diseases like variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (v CJD) in humans 1, BSE in cattle and scrapie in sheep are fatal brain diseases caused by an infectious agent, known as a prion. Prions are thought to be composed of abnormal forms (generally referred to as Pr P Sc) of a protein which is a normal constituent of brain cells, known as the cellular prion protein (Pr P C ). These disease-associated forms of prion protein form clumps or plaques in the brain and this process causes damage to, and then loss of, brain cells. In v CJD, prions first infect lymphoreticular tissues (such as the spleen and lymph nodes) outside the brain (tissues that are normally involved in the body’s defences against infection) and then spread to the brain where they cause damage leading to symptoms of the disease. Since these abnormal prion proteins are formed form one of the body’s own proteins, they are not recognised as being foreign by the immune system (as a virus or bacteria would be) which normally tends to produce antibodies and protect against infection. This “immune tolerance” means there is a lack of natural defence against prion infection. In addition to ingestion of BSE-contaminated food products, it is thought that v CJD may be transmitted by contaminated surgical instruments and it is now known that it can be spread through blood transfusion or treatment with blood products that were derived from a donor who was incubating v CJD 2. It is unknown at present how many healthy people may be infected with v CJD prions. Several thousand people in the UK have been notified that they are at increased risk of developing CJD because of exposure to blood, blood products or surgical instruments that may have been contaminated. We have used prion proteins we have made in the laboratory to immunise mice to produce a large range monoclonal antibodies (m Ab) that recognise Pr P C and Pr P Sc3."

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, more commonly known as Mad Cow Disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting cattle. The disease causes spongy deterioration of the brain and spinal cord and leads to extreme behaviors that could otherwise classify the animal as having gone mad. Eventually the corrosion of brain matter leads to the ultimate death of the animal. BSE has been a worldwide disease, although it has affected cattle and livestock primarily in Europe. Preventive measures have done a magnificent job of keeping this disease out of the United States, and keeping the transmission to humans rare. Figure 2: How different areas in Europe were affected by BSEBSE is caused by an infectious form of proteins called prions. There are two forms of prions, one that is harmless and one that causes the disease. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy originated from cattle being fed sheep meat that was infected with Scrapie, another spongiform disease caused by prions. BSE used to only be detected after the animal dies and the brain can be medically examined, but now there are many methods being investigated and tested that may be able to detect the presence of harmful prions before the animal has the opportunity to spread the disease."

Other than a few alternative news sources, the press largely ignores other theories of the disease. The bacterial model of Mad Cow Disease is a competing theory with extensive supporting scientific evidence. In his article Is Mad Cow Disease caused by a bacteria?, Lawrence Broxmeyer, M. D., presents documentation supporting the Bovine Tuberculosis model of Mad Cow Disease. Broxmeyer is a researcher who has concentrated much of his time on Tuberculosis (TB), and is familiar with how TB can cause symptoms like those found in the Spongiform Encephalopathies.

"text": "Introduction to fatal familial insomnia Dec 3, 2012 • admin Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI) is a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease. It belongs to a family of diseases called prion diseases which are caused by infectious proteins. This is somewhat unique in the world of biology: until 20 years ago everyone thought that you needed a a virus or bacterium or some other parasite — something with DNA or RNA — in order to have an infectious agent. It was Stanley Prusiner at UCSF who championed the idea that proteins were the infectious agent in some diseases, an idea that is now widely accepted and for which Prusiner won a Nobel Prize in 1997. The specific protein Prusiner was talking about is now known as prion protein (Pr P) and we now know it’s encoded by the gene PRNP. Every human– in fact every mammal– has this gene and produces prion protein, but we don’t all have prion diseases. So a bit of terminology is in order: PRNP is a particular gene in the human genome, located on the short arm of Chromosome 20. Pr P is the protein encoded by that gene. It’s 208 amino acids long. A prion is any infectious particle composed primarily or solely of protein."

"text": "Kuru Presentation Workup Treatment Prognosis Etiology Epidemiology Pathophysiology Prevention Summary Patient Information References Presentation The disease Kuru grossly affects the cerebellum causing progressive loss of neurological functions. It primarily starts with the onset of headache and arthralgia followed by the below clinical signs and symptoms: Pain in the arm and leg region Headache Difficulty in eating and swallowing food Difficulty in feeding oneself Problem in coordination Cerebellar ataxia Myoclonus Euphoria, loss of reflexes that coordinate grasp movement Involuntary movements All these symptoms cause the individuals to develop malnutrition and recurrent bouts of pneumonia. Death is the ultimate result of this disease that usually occurs within a year of experiencing the first signs and symptoms. Workup No laboratory workup or imaging studies are sufficient to diagnose kuru. However, a postmortem evaluation of the tissues of the central nervous system with predominance of Pr P plaques can help to detect infections in the brain [8]. In addition, neurological examinations can help detect changes in the coordination and walking abilities of the affected individuals. Electrodiagnostic tests that include electromyography or nerve conduction velocity are carried out to determine the electrical activity in the brain. MRI scans can also help derive appropriate conclusions. Cerebrospinal markers like neuronal specific enolase, protein 14-3-3, and S-100 although non-specific can help in the diagnosis of prion diseases in man [9]. Treatment So far there is no known treatment for either curing or managing the disease condition. Kuru is a fatal disease that gradually destructs the neurological functioning of the individuals. No medications and therapies can help people affected by kuru."

A prion is a type of protein that can trigger normal proteins in the brain to fold abnormally. Prion diseases can affect both humans and animals and are sometimes spread to humans by infected meat products. The most common form of prion disease that affects humans is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Prion diseases are rare. About 300 cases are reported each year in the U. S. Types of prion diseases include: CJD. A person can inherit this condition, in which case it's called familial CJD. Sporadic CJD, on the other hand, develops suddenly without any known risk factors.

In fact, numerous attempts to prove that sporadic prion diseases are even caused by infection have failed; hence, sporadic CJD is likely caused by spontaneous conversion of Pr P-C to Pr P-SC within an individual. Consistent data throughout many countries supports the incidence rate of one case per million population per annum, providing further proof for the liklihood that sporadic CJD is caused by a spontaneous mutation. Nonetheless, prion diseases may be inherited as well - between 10 and 15% of prion disesases are passed on as an autosomal dominant genetic trait ( Scott et al., 1996 ). Although the liklihood of acquiring CJD is extremely rare, ( Davanipour et al., 1985) attempted to identify risk factors for the disease. They concluded from case-control studies that head or neck trauma, surgery requiring stitches, opthalmic exams using a tonometer, contact with wild animals, and eating pork or rare meat could all increase one's chances of getting CJD. Moreover, those afflicted individuals had more than average exposure to wild animals such as deer and rabbits."

Kuru is a very rare, incurable neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is caused by the transmission of abnormally folded prion proteins, which leads to symptoms such as tremors, loss of coordination, and neurodegeneration. The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria (\"\"to shake\"\"), [1] due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease and kúru itself means \"\"trembling\"\". [ 2] It is also known as the \"\"laughing sickness\"\" due to the pathologic bursts of laughter which are a symptom of the disease. It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via funerary cannibalism. Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten, which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead. [ 3] Women and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children. The epidemic likely started when a villager developed sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and died."

"text": "01/August Mad Cow Disease Symptoms And Causes In Humans Posted by John Moorcroft - Mad Cow Disease - 0 comment Mad Cow Disease – correctly known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis – hit the headlines some years ago when it was discovered to have infected many cattle in the UK and elsewhere. In its original form it affected cows by slowly destroying their brains. However, it was discovered that by eating infected meat it is possible for humans to contract the disease, and in this form it is known as Variant Cr e utzfeld-Jacob Disease, or v CJD. This disease has no cure, and is inevitably fatal. Recent changes to the way cattle are fed have led to a decline in cases of v CJD, but as it can take some time to develop it is not certain that there will be no future cases. Here, we describe the mad cow disease symptoms, look in further detail at the causes of mad cow disease and v CJD, and provide a comprehensive FAQ section so that you can fully understand the situation. Symptoms Mad cow disease symptoms are associated with the gradual degeneration of the brain. The disease in humans is not the same as that found in cattle – hence the use of v CJD as its proper name – but as in the original form, the brain is slowly destroyed by organisms known as prions. These are similar to bacteria, and appear in many different forms. As the brain degenerates the patient will exhibit some notable symptoms, such as: The onset of dementia and general memory loss Notable personality changes and speech impairment Hallucinations and co-ordination problems Jerky involuntary movements Seizures and balance problems While many cases of v CJD are caused by having eaten infected beef, others can stem from alternative ways of acquiring the prions into the body."

Mad Cow Disease is the common term for Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy (BSE), a progressive neurological disorder of cattle which can be transmitted to other species, including humans. In humans, it is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, after the two doctors who first described the symptoms of the disease. The disease in cattle is called Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy because this form of the disease occurs in cows (therefore, the term bovine), it causes a sponge-like destruction of the brain (therefore, the term spongiform encepholopathy - enceph means brain and pathy means pathology - meaning an abnormality). What are the symptoms of Mad Cow Disease? Symptoms include an excitable or nervous temperament to external stimuli such as touch to the skin, a progressive unsteadiness of gait resulting eventually in the inability to stand up. The disease is virtually 100% fatal. The human equivalent of Mad Cow Disease, Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease, causes memory loss, emotional instability including inappropriate outbursts, an unsteady gait, progressing to marked weakness, severe rapidly progressive dementia and death, often within a year of the onset of symptoms. What is the cause of Mad Cow Disease? Currently the most accepted theory is that the causative agent is a modified form of a normal cell surface protein called a prion (pronounced PREE-ON) protein."

With symptom onset, affected individuals may develop confusion, depression, behavioral changes, impaired vision, and/or impaired coordination. As the disease progresses, there may be rapidly progressive deterioration of cognitive processes and memory (dementia), resulting in confusion and disorientation, impairment of memory control, personality disintegration, agitation, restlessness, and other symptoms and findings. Affected individuals also develop neuromuscular abnormalities such as muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass (wasting); irregular, rapid, shock-like muscle spasms (myoclonus); and/or relatively slow, involuntary, continual writhing movements (athetosis), particularly of the arms and legs. Later stages of the disease may include further loss of physical and intellectual functions, a state of unconsciousness (coma), and increased susceptibility to repeated infections of the respiratory tract (e.g., pneumonia). In many affected individuals, life-threatening complications may develop less than a year after the disorder becomes apparent. In approximately 90 percent of cases, CJD appears to occur randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically). About 10 percent of affected individuals may have a hereditary predisposition for the disorder. Reports in the medical literature suggest that familial cases of CJD are consistent with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. In addition, in some extremely rare cases, CJD may take an infectious form."

By the 1950’s anthropologists and government officials reported that this disease termed kuru was rampant among the South Fore. The South Fore were identified by Australian government officials in the 1950’s as a single census division consisting of approximately 8,000 individuals within the Okapa Subdistrict (Lindenbaum, 1979). Observe the following maps in order to see the exact location of the South Fore. First Map Second Map This particular group was partaking in ritual acts of mortuary cannibalism, and this conduct was later held to be responsible for the transmission of the fatal kuru epidemic. This distinctive aspect of the illness made it even more fascinating to the various Western scholars who devoted their time to conquering it. Many efforts have been made to understand and describe kuru, and the knowledge of the dynamics of the disease has continued to grow, even though the disease all but disappeared in New Guinea with the termination of cannibalism. The pathology and symptoms of kuru are of specific interest here, as well as a comparison of kuru with other prion diseases. Scientists have now identified kuru as a prion disease. Understanding the structure and replication of the prion is crucial to interpreting the dynamics of kuru and several other prion diseases, which exist today."

To date, it is found in wild cervids only in North America, and natural infection has been detected in only four species ( Cervus elaphus nelsoni, Odocoileus hemionus, Odocoileus virginianus and recently Alces alces) although there are concerns that it could spread to other species, particularly Rangifer tarandus. The infectious Pr P CWD spreads throughout the body, particularly in lymphoid tissue, although lesions (typical of TSEs) are found only in the brain and are associated with development of clinical disease (e.g. wasting, behavioural changes). Transmission is lateral and probably oral. Infectious prions are shed in faeces, urine and saliva, and are present in various body tissues, all of which may contribute to ante- or post-mortem environmental contamination, increasing transmission. Infectious prions persist in soils. There is presently no evidence of spread to other sympatric wildlife, domestic livestock or humans. Intracerebral inoculation enables transmission to various species of ungulates, rodents, carnivores and even primates, but oral transmission to non-cervids has mainly been unsuccessful.

The study, which followed more than 120,000 American men and women, linked daily consumption of unprocessed red meat with a 13 percent increase in mortality risk. A daily serving of processed meat carried an even bigger risk. Eating one hotdog or two strips of bacon per day was associated with a 20 percent increased risk of death, according to the study. \"\" It's not really surprising because red meat consumption has been linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer ,\"\" said Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health and co-author of the study published today in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. \"\" What is surprising is the magnitude of risk associated with very moderate red meat consumption. \"\" Nearly three-quarters of the study participants reported eating one or more daily servings of red meat. \"\" Habitual, daily consumption of these products is actually very common, both in our study and in the general population,\"\" said Hu. People who ate red meat regularly tended to have other bad health habits, like smoking, drinking alcohol and being physically inactive, according to the study. They also tended to eat fewer fruits and vegetables, which are linked to decreased mortality."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Roast\"\" redirects here. For other meanings, see Roast (disambiguation). Tudor style roasting meat on a spit Roasting is a cooking method that uses dry heat where hot air envelops the food, cooking it evenly on all sides with temperatures of at least 150 °C (~300 °F) from an open flame, oven, or other heat source. Roasting can enhance flavor through caramelization and Maillard browning on the surface of the food. Roasting uses indirect, diffused heat (as in an oven), and is suitable for slower cooking of meat in a larger, whole piece. [ 1] Meats and most root and bulb vegetables can be roasted. Any piece of meat, especially red meat, that has been cooked in this fashion is called a roast. Meats and vegetables prepared in this way are described as \"\"roasted\"\", e.g., roasted chicken or roasted squash.

The claim: You may lower your risk of mental decline with this new hybrid of two balanced, heart-healthy diets – even without rigidly sticking to it – early research suggests. The theory: The MIND diet takes two proven diets – DASH and Mediterranean – and zeroes in on the foods in each that specifically affect brain health. The emphasis is on eating from 10 brain-healthy food groups: green leafy vegetables in particular, all other vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine. Meanwhile, MIND adherents avoid foods from the five unhealthy groups: red meats, butter and stick margarine, cheeses, pastries and sweets, and fried or fast food. The MIND diet, which stands for \"\"Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay,\"\" was developed by Martha Clare Morris, a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University Medical Center, through a study funded by the National Institute on Aging and published online February 2015. Morris' team followed the food intake of 923 Chicago-area seniors. Over four and a half years, 144 participants developed Alzheimer's disease. The longer people had followed the MIND diet patterns, the less risk they appeared to have. Even people who made \"\"modest\"\" changes to their diets – who wouldn't have fit the criteria for DASH or Mediterranean – had less risk of developing Alzheimer's."

Collins May 15, 2015, 12:00 pm SHARESpinach Fish with Boiled Plantain CREDIT: Think Progress/Sam P. K. Collins In recent years, public health experts have acknowledged that lowering the risk of the cancer among people of color in the United States, particularly African Americans, will require diet and environmental changes that can only come about through a combination of government intervention and individual fortitude. However, questions remain about what the ideal food selection should look like for African Americans, a group plagued by significantly high rates of obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other physical ailments. A recent study suggests the answer may lie in the diets of their counterparts across the Atlantic Ocean in the rural parts of the Motherland. In a study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, 20 African Americans and 20 South Africans switched diets for two weeks. In this time, the Africans consumed traditional American food — meat and cheese high in fat content — while African Americans took on a traditional African diet — high in fiber and low in fat, with plenty of vegetables, beans, and cornmeal, with little meat. After the exchange, researchers performed colonoscopies on both groups and found that those in the African diet group increased the production of butyrate, a fatty acid proven to protect against colon cancer. Members of the American diet group, on the other hand, developed changes in their gut that scientists say precede the development of cancerous cells. “We wanted to show how diet changes cancer, so we used biomarkers and looked at the proliferation rate that has been tied to cancer,” Dr. Stephen J. O’Keefe, the lead researcher, told Think Progress. “ We were astounded by the gravity and the magnitude of the changes. In Africans, the diet changes produced microbiota that were cancerous."

( 1 ) In the U. S. and most other industrialized nations, slightly less than 1 percent of all adults have been diagnosed with celiac disease. ( 2) For these people, following a celiac disease diet, which mean a strictly gluten-free diet, is considered to be the only definitive way to improve celiac disease symptoms and prevent complications. The biggest threat associated with untreated celiac disease, or other similar food allergies, is that it can cause long-term health problems, such as malnutrition, developmental delays, lowered immunity, neurological illnesses and psychiatric illnesses. Although some people with celiac disease might show no symptoms at all (at least for a while), long-term complications are still believed to be a threat whether symptoms are experienced or not. That’s why it’s so vital to follow the proper celiac disease diet if you have this gluten allergy. Top Foods for the Celiac Disease Diet Currently, there is no known cure for celiac disease, which is why it’s considered to be chronic in nature. The best way to manage celiac disease symptoms and prevent future health problems is to follow a strict gluten-free diet, along with improving overall immune function through preventing nutrient deficiencies, reducing stress and getting enough sleep. The focus of a celiac disease diet should be including more anti-inflammatory, healing diet foods in order to repair the gastrointestinal tract/digestive system and heal any nutrient deficiencies. These include organic animal products, raw dairy products, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and probiotic foods."

However, in its maternity wards, one in six women died in childbirth, a shocking mortality rate, but not dissimilar to any other in the western world. Reasons given by obstetricians included constipation, fear, delayed lactation and poisonous air. Upon death, autopsies were performed on these women by physicians, who immediately after the procedure, without washing their hands or using sterile gloves, performed pelvic examinations on the living in the maternity wards!Early in the 1840s, Ignaz Semmelweis took charge of one of the obstetrical wards. After three years of observation, he discovered that it was the women who were examined by doctors immediately after performing the autopsies, who died. He therefore ruled that all doctors participating in autopsies must thoroughly wash their hands before examining any patients in his ward. The death rate in his ward immediately plummeted. However, the prejudiced doctors did not like his “new” ideas. His contract was not renewed, his rule overturned and the mortality rate soared once again. Unknown to Semmelweis, his progressive ideas and procedures had been practiced thousands of years before!Ancient Egyptian Medicine In its time, medical knowledge and practice in ancient Egypt was likewise revolutionary, with Egypt’s physicians showing great initiative and an impressive knowledge of the human body, its organ function, system’s workings and the treatment of illness and disease."

Credit: CDC/ Dr. Balasubr Swaminathan; Peggy Hayes Listeriosis is an infection caused by eating Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Over the past few years, the bacteria have been responsible for dozens of food product recalls, numerous hospital visits and even deaths. In fact, according to the CDC, Listeria infections cause 1,600 illnesses and 260 deaths each year in the United States. Causes A Listeria infection is typically caused by eating contaminated foods, according to the Mayo Clinic. The bacteria live naturally in soil and water in the environment, and it is possible for vegetables to become contaminated by Listeria when growing in contaminated soil, or when manure is used a fertilizer, Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City told Live Science. Other common ways someone can come into contact with L. monocytogenes is by consuming meat products obtained from animals that carry the bacteria but don’t show any symptoms. This is particularly true if the meat was not cooked. Foods that are made from unpasteurized milk are also common culprits, said John R. Palisano, a professor of biology at Sewanee: The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Infection and symptoms After being consumed, the bacteria travel through the gastrointestinal tract and eventually to the bloodstream. \"\""

Keep reading for more specifics about each of the B vitamins: Thiamine (B1)The B vitamin thiamine is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates into the simple sugar glucose. The chemical process involves the combination of thiamine with pyruvic acid to form a coenzyme, a substance that, when combined with other substances, forms an enzyme. Enzymes are those all-important proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. Thiamine is also important for the proper functioning of the nervous system. In this instance, thiamine acts as a coenzyme in the production of the neurotransmitter (chemical messenger between nerve fibers) acetylcholine. Thiamine deficiency is rare but often occurs in alcoholics, because alcohol interferes with the absorption of thiamine through the intestines. There are several health problems associated with a deficiency of thiamine. The first is beriberi, a disease that is characterized by anemia, paralysis, muscular atrophy and weakness, and spasms in the muscles of the legs. Other disorders caused by thiamine deficiency include Wernicke's encephelopathy, which causes lack of coordination, and Korsakoff's psychosis, which affects short-term memory."

"text": "Health Farm Use of Antibiotics Defies Scrutiny By SABRINA TAVERNISE SEPT. 3, 2012The numbers released quietly by the federal government this year were alarming. A ferocious germ resistant to many types of antibiotics had increased tenfold on chicken breasts, the most commonly eaten meat on the nation’s dinner tables. But instead of a learning from a broad national inquiry into a troubling trend, scientists said they were stymied by a lack of the most basic element of research: solid data. Eighty percent of the antibiotics sold in the United States goes to chicken, pigs, cows and other animals that people eat, yet producers of meat and poultry are not required to report how they use the drugs — which ones, on what types of animal, and in what quantities. This dearth of information makes it difficult to document the precise relationship between routine antibiotic use in animals and antibiotic-resistant infections in people, scientists say. Advocates contend that there is already overwhelming epidemiological evidence linking the two, something that even the Food and Drug Administration has acknowledged, and that further study, while useful for science, is not essential for decision making. “ At some point the available science can be used in making policy decisions,” said Gail Hansen, an epidemiologist who works for Pew Charitable Trusts, which advocates against overuse of antibiotics. But scientists say the blank spots in data collection are a serious handicap in taking on powerful producers of poultry and meat who claim the link does not exist. “It’s like facing off against a major public health crisis with one hand tied behind our backs,” said Keeve Nachman, an environmental health scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, which does research on food systems."

A team from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is coming to help investigate. By Jo Nel Aleccia Seattle Times health reporter An outbreak of salmonella infections apparently linked to eating pork has expanded in Washington state, with at least 90 people in nine counties reported to have been ill. More than half the cases, 55, were reported in King County. Six people have been hospitalized. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) late Friday issued a public-health alert because of concerns that the Washington salmonella infections might be tied to whole pigs used in pig roasts. The sharp uptick in cases in less than a week and the lack of a clear source has led state health officials to ask the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to send in a special team to help with the investigation. The so-called Epi-Aid group is expected to be in Washington next week, a state Department of Health spokesman said. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is also involved in the probe.

They may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignancies can take years to develop. Proper screening usually creates ample time to identify pre-malignant polyps; if not caught, however, they can develop into colorectal cancer, one of the leading causes of death in North America and Western Europe. Several factors can lead to the formation of these polyps. Lifestyle and heredity represent the most common causes of polyp development. A direct correlation between certain foods and polyps has also been identified. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is also related. The link between IBD and colorectal cancers has been known for nearly a hundred years, and researchers have recently focused on better understanding the role of intestinal inflammation on polyp development. The specific roles of molecular biology, immune pathology and genetics and their relation to IBD and colon malignancies such as polyps are areas of ongoing research. ["

Enjoy.............worriedmum · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment For vegetable soup, I would stay away from rosemary or dill as they can overpower the delicate flavors of the vegetables. Some dried herb combos I have used are a couple of bay leaves, a couple pinches of dried thyme, and a pinch of basil. Also good are a couple of bay leaves, a bit of coriander, some celery seed, and some thyme. If you have some fresh herbs, stir in right before serving some chopped flat/italian parsley and maybe some basil and a few thyme leaves. Whenever you are doing a nice, warming soup, bay leaves are your friend as they impart amazing flavor. thyme is always a great addition because it does not tend to compete with the rest of the ingredients."

You mean you did not know there was a down side (more like a hidden dark side) to organic produce? Well let’s let the cat out of the bag and provide a non-fanatical assessment of what possible poisons are in organic vs non organic foods and let people choose which poisons they are going to allow into their bodies. Non organic produce: Toxins has here are mostly petro chemical based pesticides. These act in several ways in the human system. Firstly they act as an estrogen. All organo phosphate agra chemicals from bug spray to fertilizers are highly estrogenic."

Pediatric rheumatic diseases, also called juvenile arthritis, is an umbrella term used to describe the many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that can develop in children ages 16 and younger. Pediatric rheumatic diseases affect nearly 300,000 children in the United States. That’s more than juvenile diabetes and cystic fibrosis combined. Although they share many common telltale symptoms, like pain, joint swelling, redness and warmth, they are distinct and each have their own special concerns and symptoms. Some pediatric rheumatic diseases affect the musculoskeletal system, but joint symptoms may be a minor or nonexistent component. Pediatric rheumatic diseases can involve the eyes, skin, muscles and gastrointestinal tract as well. The types of pediatric rheumatic diseases include: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Considered the most common form of arthritis, JIA) includes six subtypes: oligoarthritis, polyarthrits, systemic, enthesitis-related, juvenile psoriatic arthritis or undifferentiated. Juvenile dermatomyositis."

This Buzzle write-up will give you a basic idea about cardiovascular diseases and disorders, and their symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options. The human cardiovascular system is composed of a heart, blood, and a network of blood vessels. It is concerned with the circulation of nutrients, gases, and hormones throughout the body. Any disease that affects the heart and the blood vessels, irrespective of the organ involved, falls under the category of cardiovascular diseases. So, cardiovascular system diseases also include vascular diseases of the brain and the kidneys. A series of physiological and morphological changes occur with advancing age, which in turn, alters the way in which the cardiovascular system works. This eventually raises the risk for cardiovascular system diseases. Wrong eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle are the two most important risk factors for heart and cardiovascular diseases, along with aging. The cardiovascular mortality rates have somewhat declined in many developed countries since 1970s, but increased in low- and middle-income countries of the world."

"text": "Home / Isolated Aortitis Isolated Aortitis Aortitis Aortitis is a general term which means inflammation of the aorta, the large blood vessel which transports blood from the heart to the body. The aortic root is the part of the aorta which is directly connected to the left ventricle (chamber) of the heart. The blood flows from the aorta through its major branches like the carotid arteries to the head, the subclavian arteries to the arms, and iliac arteries to the legs, as well as other branches to organs like the kidneys, spleen and bowel. Aortitis can cause narrowing (stenosis), leading to reduced blood flow, as well as aneurysm (widening) of the aorta, causing the aorta to rupture. What causes Aortitis? Aortitis has a number of causes. Some cases are “isolated” aortitis, meaning that the aorta is inflamed without any identifiable associated diseases. Aortitis can occur as isolated idiopathic disease of the aorta. A form of aortitis affecting tissues surrounding the aorta can occur with a disease called retroperitoneal fibrosis, or as a result of aneurysms caused by atherosclerosis. Other causes are rheumatic diseases including various forms of vasculitis, as well as infections."

( Vasc refers to blood vessels and itis means inflammation.) Vasculitis can be a diagnosis in itself, but more often it coexists with lupus or another autoimmune disease, and is considered to be a part of that illness. Blood vessel inflammation is common to all the rheumatic autoimmune illnesses. When it occurs in a patient who has lupus, vasculitis may simply confirm a diagnosis for lupus, but cause no specific additional health problems itself. Sometimes its occurrence represents a change in the course of the lupus, with vasculitis becoming a serious complication. Thus, the word vasculitis can mean many things."

"text": "What Is a Rheumatologist? Print Rheumatologist Overview, Education, Board Certification A rheumatologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (e.g., arthritis, lupus). Rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain and inflammation in the joints and associated structures, and muscle soreness and stiffness. There are more than 100 types of rheumatic conditions. Rheumatic diseases are complex and often difficult to diagnose and treat. They may be acute (i.e., have a rapid onset) or chronic (i.e., last a long time). Rheumatologists undergo extensive training and are highly qualified in the medical (i.e., nonsurgical) treatment of rheumatic diseases, including the following: Arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, infectious arthritis)Autoimmune diseases (e.g. systemic lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, and polymyositis)Bursitis (inflammation of a fluid-filled sac [bursa]; common in the knees, shoulders, hips, and elbows)Fibromyalgia (causes chronic muscle and joint pain)Gout (metabolic disease that causes acute arthritis and joint inflammation)Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus)Lyme disease (transmitted by infected ticks)Osteoporosis (low bone density, often causes fractures)Pseudogout (chronic arthritis similar to gout; common in the knees)Spondyloarthropathies (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's syndrome, psoriatic arthritis)Tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon, which connects muscle to bone; common in the knees, shoulders, and elbows)Vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels causing body damage; e.g., giant cell arteritis, Wegener's granulomatosis)During treatment, the rheumatologist assesses systemic involvement, determines the need for orthopedic intervention or hospitalization, and analyzes the results of advanced laboratory tests and radiological examinations (e.g., x-rays, scans). The rheumatologist also evaluates the patient's mental condition and level of independence. Rheumatologists provide health care in a number of settings, including hospitals (e.g., medical, surgical, rehabilitation), outpatient clinics, and in private practice. Many rheumatologists conduct research to learn more about the causes of rheumatic diseases and develop more effective treatments."

Rheumatism and arthritis both tend to be used as descriptions for a variety of symptoms, such as joint pain and inflammation. Here, we will clarify exactly what is meant by the terms \"\"arthritis\"\" and \"\"rheumatism,\"\" and how two modern-day terms describe two different conditions: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Fast facts on arthritis and rheumatism: Medical professionals no longer use the word \"\"rheumatism,\"\" but it remains in general language, there is no real difference between rheumatism and arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of autoimmune disease (where the body attacks its own cells). More than 50 million Americans are thought to be living with arthritis.

"text": "Overview Aortic valve stenosis — or aortic stenosis — occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from your heart into the main artery to your body (aorta) and onward to the rest of your body. When the blood flow through the aortic valve is reduced or blocked, your heart needs to work harder to pump blood to your body. Eventually, this extra work limits the amount of blood it can pump, and this can cause symptoms as well as possibly weaken your heart muscle. Your treatment depends on the severity of your condition. You may need surgery to repair or replace the valve. Left untreated, aortic valve stenosis can lead to serious heart problems.

The aorta is the main artery carrying blood from the heart. Blood is pumped by the left ventricle across the aortic valve into the aorta and the arteries of the body. Aortic stenosis causes restricted systolic opening of the valve leaflets, with a mean transvalvular pressure gradient of at least 5-10 mm Hg. When the degree of narrowing becomes significant enough to impede the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the arteries, heart problems develop. In the Euro Heart Survey on Valvular Heart Disease, aortic valve stenosis was the most common valve abnormality. Aortic valve sclerosis is commonly defined as a focal or diffuse thickening of the aortic cusps with calcific nodules generally at the base of leaflets and transvalvular velocity at Doppler still in the normal range (Vmax <2 m/s). Epidemiology Prevalence Rheumatic valve disease has declined dramatically in the United States during the past 50 years, and isolated rheumatic aortic valve is unusual in any event. With our aging population, calcific aortic stenosis accounts for the vast majority of aortic valve disease. In the elderly, mild thickening and/or calcification of a trileaflet aortic valve without restricted leaflet motion (ie, aortic sclerosis) affects about 25% of the population > 65 years of age."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Lymphatic System What diseases affect the immune system? Flag What diseases affect the immune system? Answer by D4est Confidence votes 47.9KThere are many diseases that involve some aspect of the immune system function or malfunction. The most obvious would be infectious diseases such as bacterial, viral and parasitic infections. Hormones affect the immune system, so diseases that disrupt normal hormonal activity can affect the immune system. Diseases that affect the sleep cycles also can affect the immune system since sleep deprivation has negative impacts on the immune system (e.g., sleep apnea, insomnia, etc.). Other diseases or disorders of the immune system can manifest with over-activity and some with under-activity of the immune function, some are congenital and some are acquired, some are due to diseases that are damaging to parts of the immune system itself (e.g., alcoholism, obesity, drug use, malnutrition such as Vitamin D deficiency, etc. ), and some diseases are affected by the immune system function or malfunction. The immune system function can also be modified and affected by the treatment and medication used for some diseases and conditions, such as anti-rejection drugs used in transplants and in autoimmune diseases and anti-neoplastic chemotherapy (cancer treatment) drugs. Another that can damage the immune system function is radiation therapy."

An impaired immune system is called immunocompromise and can leave the body vulnerable to various viral, bacterial, or fungal opportunistic infections . Causes of immune deficiency can include various illnesses such as viruses, chronic illness, or immune system illnesses (especially AIDS ). The other type of immune disorder involves an over-active immune response. There are several different classes of diseases from an excessive response by the immune system: Allergies - a true allergy to a substance or food is caused by the immune response.

"text": "\"Autoimmune Skin Disease in Cats By Ernest Ward, DVMMedical Conditions What is an autoimmune disease? The term autoimmune is a confusing one. \"\"... your immune system attacks itself by mistake...\"\"Our bodies have an immune system that protects us from foreign invaders that can cause disease and infection; however, if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks itself by mistake, causing serious illness. The immune cells fail to distinguish the body's normal healthy cells from foreign cells and thus try to destroy the normal tissues. The cause of this \"\"mistake\"\" is not well understood. Autoimmune disease can affect a single system or multiple body systems. Autoimmune diseases can affect skin, connective tissue, nerves, muscles, the endocrine system (the system that controls hormones and other chemicals), red blood cells, and the digestive system. Cats with autoimmune diseases should not be vaccinated except under certain circumstances. What causes autoimmune disease? \"\" Some theorize that genetics and/or environmental pollutants play a role. \"\""

"text": "\"What is Ulcerative Colitis? Email Print+ Share If you or someone you love have recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, it’s important to begin learning as much as you can about what ulcerative colitis is. By developing a better understanding of ulcerative colitis, you will be more prepared to manage its symptoms and live a full life. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucous. The combination of inflammation and ulceration can cause abdominal discomfort and frequent emptying of the colon. Ulcerative colitis is the result of an abnormal response by your body's immune system. Normally, the cells and proteins that make up the immune system protect you from infection. In people with IBD, however, the immune system mistakes food, bacteria, and other materials in the intestine for foreign or invading substances. When this happens, the body sends white blood cells into the lining of the intestines, where they produce chronic inflammation and ulcerations. It’s important to understand the difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease."

Like with many other diseases, the environment plays a role too. Crohn's disease affects the digestive system (usually the lower half of the small intestine and colon). It is thought to happen when someone's own immune system attacks his or her digestive system. This is called an autoimmune disease. The exact cause for why a person develops Crohn's disease is unknown. However, scientists have found that it tends to cluster in families. This usually means that genes play at least some role in a disease. Those who have a parent or sibling with Crohn's disease have a 20% (1 in 5) chance of developing the disease."

Liberty Health Campus of Mount Sinai Hospital Medical School Jersey City, N JProfessor of Medicineat the New York College University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Definition Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various systems of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. The body's immune system normally makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens. In an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed against \"\"self.\"\" These antibodies, called \"\"auto-antibodies,\"\" react with the \"\"self\"\" antigens to form immune complexes. The immune complexes build up in the tissues and can cause inflammation, injury to tissues, and pain."

The cause may be a virus or bacterium, an injury or even old age, but that your dog's own body might attack itself and cause serious illness seems bizarre. This is the case with autoimmune disease. The immune system is designed to search out and destroy microscopic invaders. Its specialized cells circulate through the bloodstream, hunting down, disabling and consuming viruses and bacteria, which they recognize by their foreign proteins. These cells are programmed to recognize the body's proteins as well as those of the various organisms that lead their quiet and often beneficial lives on or within our dogs. But, sometimes something goes wrong, resulting in immune cells that target one or more of their own body's tissues, or attack benign residents. The author has personally experienced this; her eyes have suffered significant damage wrought by her own immune cells. Autoimmune diseases, most notably thyroiditis, are being reported in dogs with increasing frequency. The increase is in part due to better veterinary knowledge of this type of disease and improved diagnostic techniques."

A properly functioning immune system can protect him from bacteria, parasites, viruses and even devastating diseases such as cancer. The immune system has several components. Best known are the white blood cells, which are produced in the bone marrow and circulate throughout the body via the lymphatic system. Specialized cells called antibodies are able to identify cells infected with viruses, bacteria, fungi and even cancer. Once identified, the infected cells are deactivated and killed. The immune system is also capable of filing away the identity of viruses it has successfully cleaned. Specialized memory cells can store this information for years, then quickly launch antibodies to disarm the virus when it next enters the body, before it causes illness. This cell-mediated immunity is the mainstay of the immune system. It activates cell-eating macrophages as well as natural killer cells, which release strong toxins that deactivate viruses and bacteria."

This underlines the fact that the study of the immune system (immunology) is still very much an evolving field, as doctors and researchers learn more about the body’s natural defense system—and what happens when it malfunctions. To better understand your child’s autoimmune disease, it helps to know generally how the immune system works: Whether bacteria, a virus or grain of pollen, when a foreign invader ( antigen) tries to enter the body, it first encounters the innate immune system. The innate system is our inborn, nonspecific response to antigens. It’s a general set of defenses that includes barriers like skin and mucous membranes, and reactions like coughing and sneezing reflexes. The innate system also includes roaming white blood cells called phagocytes (literally, “eating cells”), designed to devour any antigen that gets through the outer defenses. The innate system will either destroy the invader or buy time for the more complex adaptive immune system to work. The adaptive system is our continually evolving, specific response to antigens. It’s a targeted defense that identifies the invader and makes unique proteins ( antibodies) to mark it for attack. Among the key players in the adaptive system are special white blood cells called B cells, which produce antibodies, and T cells, which coordinate and carry out the attack—and, importantly, also signal when it should stop."

Some parts of the immune system look for unhealthy cells or something foreign to the body, some send messages to other cells in the body about an attack and others work to attack and destroy micro-organisms that cause infections – like bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites – or unhealthy cells, like cancer cells. When the immune system is defending the body against infection and disease, it is called the immune response. Parts of the immune system The immune system is made up of cells and organs that work together to protect the body and respond to infection and disease. Lymphocytes Lymphocytes are white blood cells found in the blood and lymphatic system. They attack viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders. There are different types of white blood cells but lymphocytes have the most important role in the immune response. Lymphocytes are also called immune cells. T cells (also called T lymphocytes) destroy damaged and infected cells in the body and tell B cells to make antibodies. B cells (also called B lymphocytes) can turn into plasma cells that make antibodies that help fight infection and disease."

An autoimmune disorder occurs when a person's immune system mistakenly attacks their own body tissues. Autoimmune disorders are broadly grouped into two categories – 'organ-specific' means one organ is affected, while in 'non-organ-specific' disorders, multiple organs or body systems may be affected. There are around 80 different autoimmune disorders ranging in severity from mild to disabling, depending on which system of the body is under attack and to what degree. For unknown reasons, women are more susceptible than men, particularly during their childbearing years. It is thought that sex hormones may be at least partly responsible.
