"text": "Home » Immune System » Respiratory » What Does a Chronic Cough Mean? What Does a Chronic Cough Mean? By: Bel Marra Health | Immune System | Tuesday, December 13, 2011 - 11:31 PMMany people, including medical professionals, believe that chronic cough is linked to another condition. It is symptom of something, rather than a condition in itself. But is this correct? U. K. researchers have come out saying that this may be false and, worse, could be preventing the development of new treatments. A new study has looked closely at the issue of chronic cough, with two groups of researchers from different institutions writing papers. Chronic cough is one that lasts longer than two months; a true nagging cough that does not seem to vanish on its own regardless of how much cough syrup you guzzle. Estimates are rough, but anywhere from nine percent to 33% of adults are afflicted by chronic cough. Cigarette smoking is a big risk factor, as smokers are at about a three times greater risk of suffering chronic cough."

"text": "Jeanine had never smoked a day in her life. Jeanine Rivas Key Takeaways Non-smoking women are at a higher risk for developing lung cancer than non-smoking men. Up to 24,000 non-smoking Americans are estimated to die of lung cancer this year If you have an unexplainable, persistent cough, visit your doctor as soon as possible. For teachers, colds are just part of the job. So when Jeanine Pucci, 43, developed a cough in the early fall of 2013, she assumed she caught something from one of her first graders. “But the cough didn’t seem to be going away,” Pucci remembers. After about two months of persistent coughing and urging from her friends, she finally went to a walk-in clinic where a chest X-ray revealed a mass on her lungs. A doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering later told her she had stage IV lung cancer that had spread to her bone. The news, delivered just days before Thanksgiving, came as a shock in part because the cancer was so advanced, but also because Pucci was not a smoker. “I was repulsed by [smoking] my whole life."

"text": "Print Overview Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. People who have bronchitis often cough up thickened mucus, which can be discolored. Bronchitis may be either acute or chronic. Often developing from a cold or other respiratory infection, acute bronchitis is very common. Chronic bronchitis, a more serious condition, is a constant irritation or inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, often due to smoking. Acute bronchitis, also called a chest cold, usually improves within a week to 10 days without lasting effects, although the cough may linger for weeks. However, if you have repeated bouts of bronchitis, you may have chronic bronchitis, which requires medical attention. Chronic bronchitis is one of the conditions included in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Symptoms For either acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis, signs and symptoms may include: Cough Production of mucus (sputum), which can be clear, white, yellowish-gray or green in color — rarely, it may be streaked with blood Fatigue Shortness of breath Slight fever and chills Chest discomfort If you have acute bronchitis, you might have cold symptoms, such as a mild headache or body aches. While these symptoms usually improve in about a week, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks."

Seasonal allergies, a flu virus, or a more serious bronchial infection are the most common reasons for a nagging cough. However, a cough can sometimes indicate a more serious health condition—such as asthma. Whatever the reason for your hacking, a cough is the body’s typical reflex when foreign material is blocking the lungs and upper airway passages. So how do you determine one cough from another? Let’s take a look at why a cough occurs, and what the top common health conditions a cough indicates, depending on the associated symptoms of course…1. Post Nasal Drip Post-nasal drip, in other words, a cough that causes phlegm or mucus to drain down the back of the throat from the sinus cavities in order to keep mucus away from the lungs, is a very common source of an itchy, scratchy cough that you’d get with seasonal allergies. Those with allergies, commonly experience post-nasal drip during periods of high pollen—such as rag weed season in the late summer/early fall season.

"text": "But you’re only going to be hacking for that long if you have a chest cold, not a head cold, which lasts 7 to 10 days. The difference? A chest cold originates—well—in your chest, meaning you don’t see as many nasal symptoms like a stuffy nose and clogged sinuses, says study author Mark Ebell, M. D., M. S., professor at the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia. The bad news: An acute cough is usually caused by a virus (which antibiotics have little or no effect on), and nothing will kill it faster, says Dr. Ebell. In many cases, your body’s response to the virus—inflammation—is what’s making you cough. So until it runs its course, you just have to wait it out. Dr. Ebell says to call your doc if you have asthma, are short of breath, cough up blood, have symptoms for more than 3 weeks, or feel too sick to function—but if it's just the nagging cough, here are three ways to make the waiting game a little less painful. Go with Aleve When faced with the daunting task of the medicine aisle, stick with Aleve. Studies have shown that it doesn’t just help with fevers and body aches (which sometimes accompany a coughing illness), but it may also reduce the cough itself, says Dr. Ebell. Researchers speculate it’s the drug's anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation, and thus the secretion causing your cough."

Other Medications At-Home Care If you recently had a cold that turned into a nagging cough, you might have acute bronchitis. ( In medical terms, “acute” means conditions that come on quickly and last a short time). Bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes, which carry oxygen from your windpipe to your lungs, become inflamed. The lining of the tubes makes mucus, which makes your cough worse. The condition can also cause wheezing and make it hard to catch your breath. To know for sure whether your recent illness is acute bronchitis and not an allergy or other problem, you should see your doctor. While many cases go away on their own, others require treatment.

Coughing is one of the five most common reasons for a doctor's visit. A chronic cough, defined as lasting more than eight weeks, is not uncommon. Up to 40 percent of nonsmokers in the United States and Europe have reported a chronic cough at some point, and coughing is one of the five most common reasons for a doctor's visit. Only a doctor can tell for sure what's behind your endless hacking. However, in a 2006 study of women with an average age of 48 who had a cough lasting for six months, 39 percent were found to have asthma, 9 percent had chronic upper airway cough syndrome (commonly known as postnasal drip), and 9 percent had gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition, another 11 percent had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a serious, progressive disease that includes both emphysema and bronchitis. While not all people who develop COPD are smokers, people who smoke are at higher risk. Overall, 24 million Americans -- about 1 in 12 people -- have COPD, although half don't know they have the disease.1."

"text": "Signs and Symptoms of Cancer What are signs and symptoms? Signs and symptoms are both signals of injury, illness, disease – signals that something is not right in the body. A sign is a signal that can be seen by someone else – maybe a loved one, or a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional. For example, fever, fast breathing, and abnormal lung sounds heard through a stethoscope may be signs of pneumonia. A symptom is a signal that’s felt or noticed by the person who has it, but may not be easily seen by anyone else. For example, weakness, aching, and feeling short of breath may be symptoms of pneumonia. Having one sign or symptom may not be enough to figure out what’s causing it. For example, a rash in a child could be a sign of a number of things, such as poison ivy, measles, a skin infection, or a food allergy. But if the child has the rash along with other signs and symptoms like a high fever, chills, achiness, and a sore throat, then a doctor can get a better picture of the illness. Sometimes, a patient’s signs and symptoms still don’t give the doctor enough clues to be sure what’s causing the illness."

So you've done some of your homework regarding choosing the right naturopathic doctor, and have decided that you would like to work with a licensed naturopathic physician rather than a traditional naturopath. When go to tell your friends, family, or coworkers about your decision they look a bit confused and respond, \"\"A naturo....what?! Is that even a real doctor?\"\" How do you respond? The first thing to be aware of is that people who engage naturopathic medicine this way are often times begging the question. Begging the question refers to a kind of circular reasoning where an ingrained assumption or belief is embedded within the question itself. In this case, what people often mean when they ask, \"\"Is a naturopathic physician a real doctor?\"\" is actually, \"\"Can a naturopathic physician prescribe pharmaceutical drugs?\"\" In this case the underlying assumption or ingrained belief is that only pharmaceutical drugs are \"\"real\"\" medicine, while nutrition, exercise, lifestyle interventions and natural remedies such as herbs or dietary supplements are \"\"fake\"\" medicine."

NDs know better, of course – it could be a MTHFR genetic mutation causing your maladies. Just what is the MTHFR gene? Allow me to introduce some actual scientific information here. According to Genetics Home Reference, a service of the National Library of Medicine,the MTHFR gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that plays a role in processing amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. This particular enzyme is important for a chemical reaction involving forms of the vitamin folate (also called vitamin B9), a reaction required for the multistep process that converts the amino acid homocysteine to another amino acid, methionine. The body uses methionine to make proteins and other important compounds."

Herbal medicine, also known as herbalism or botanical medicine, is a medical system based on the use of plants or plant extracts that may be eaten or applied to the skin. Since ancient times, herbal medicine has been used by many different cultures throughout the world to treat illness and to assist bodily functions. While herbal medicine is not a licensed profession in the United States, herbal remedies in the form of extracts, tinctures, capsules and tablets as well as teas may be recommended by healthcare practitioners of many different disciplines as a practical way to address a wide variety of medical conditions. Herbal medicine blurs the line between foods and medicines – a line that, in many cultures, was never drawn in the first place. Using herbs and spices that have disease-preventive effect in foods is one of the best ways to take advantage of their healing power. For example, it appears that the daily use of the spice turmeric in curry dishes is one reason elderly people in India have one of the lowest rates of Alzheimer’s disease in the world. What Conditions Is Herbal Medicine Used For? Herbal medicine has been used to treat or alleviate virtually every possible medical condition. Some of the most popular herbal remedies and the conditions for which they are used include:aloe used topically for minor burns, sunburns, skin irritation or inflammationarnica used topically for bruises, sprains, sore muscles and jointschamomile tea ingested for upset stomach, heartburn, indigestion and coliccomfrey, in a topical poultice only, for bedsores, diabetic ulcers, certain spider bites and staph infections contracted on tropical beachesdong quai for women and ginseng for men and women, ingested to improve general health and stamina – in this application, these are known as tonics."

But did you know that allergy and intolerance can be responsible for a very wide range of symptoms that can affect any part of the body, and they don’t necessarily have to cause symptoms where first contact occurs? Allergy does not cause every disease, but it can be involved in almost any disease and it can play an integral role in the development of disease. It is so prevalent that if you have not been told the cause of your health problems or symptoms, you should consider allergy first.

"text": "\"How To Find A Doctor To Treat Intestinal Yeast, Candida, And Candidiasis This web site focuses on fungal and yeast infections, especially intestinal Candida yeast infections, along with concomitant infections of pathogenic bacteria and intestinal parasites. The predominant illness in this category is Candidiasis, the overgrowth of Candida yeast in the intestines. There is a general consensus among victims of Candidiasis, those who suspect they have Candida infections and those who treat Candida infections that the mainstream medical community is unaware or in denial of the existence of this disease, and that few among this community are familiar with diagnostic tools to discover the condition, nor are they familiar with effective treatment procedures to eradicate the infection. TYPES OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALSThere are a number of sources available to help find a healthcare profession with awareness and experience in this area. The category of healthcare professionals includes a variety of specialties with the obvious being allopathic medical doctors (MD's and DO's). DO's are Osteopaths (Doctors of Osteopathy) whose training is somewhat more focused on whole health care and natural healing than that of the traditional MD training, but they are fully qualified physicians who do heart surgery and everything else. Because of the slant of their training, a DO might be more open to considerations of Candidiasis and alternative therapies than MD's. In addition to MD's and DO's, there are several other types of healthcare professionals who treat Candidiasis, and who collectively constitute the mainline of Candidiasis caregivers. This category includes Naturopaths (ND -- Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine), Chiropractors (DC -- Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine), Nutritionists, and Nurse Practitioners, among others. WHERE TO START LOOKINGAmong the MD/DO community, there are infectious disease specialists who are very familiar with yeast infections as a result of treating immune compromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients, and cancer patients who have been treated with chemotherapy."

The ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and folk medicine, rather than evidence-based medicine. [ 1] Naturopathic practitioners generally recommend against modern medical practices, including but not limited to medical testing, drugs, vaccinations, and surgery. [ 2] [3] [4] [5] Instead, naturopathic study and practice rely on unscientific notions, often leading naturopathic doctors to diagnoses and treatments that have no factual merit. [ 6] [7]Naturopathic medicine is considered by the medical profession to be ineffective and possibly harmful, raising ethical issues about its practice. [ 6] [8] [9] In addition to accusations from the medical community, such as the American Cancer Society, [10] naturopaths and naturopathic doctors have repeatedly been accused of being charlatans and practicing quackery. [ 6] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] Over the years, many practitioners of naturopathic medicine have been found criminally liable in the courts of law around the world. In some countries it is a criminal offense for naturopaths and naturopathic doctors to label themselves as medical professionals. Naturopathic doctors are campaigning for more recognition in the U.

It can be approached from numerous perspectives such as how it differs from allopathic medicine (as practiced by an MD), the modalities (or treatments) used, or training & education involved to name just a few. At the core of naturopathic medicine, though, is an understanding that the body is capable of defending and repairing itself. Our job as caretaker of our body is to help it along when it needs a boost and reduce the stress on it throughout our daily life. Most modern medicine focuses on treating the symptoms of an underlying problem. Worse than not taking care of the actual problem, it masks the problem allowing it to fester.

Drug testing is a common practice in the United States. Current and future employers will often ask employees to undergo a drug test. Drug tests for marijuana usually measure levels of THC or its metabolite, THC-COOH. Depending on the testing method, traces of marijuana can be detected for days, weeks, or even months after last use. Urine testing is the most common way of screening for marijuana use. Other drug testing methods include blood tests, saliva tests, and hair follicle tests.

They know where to buy fake urine (which, by the way, is illegal in Texas); you should at least know what goes into each screen and what it can tell you. We also include the science behind the screen, and everything you never wanted to know about drug testing. Who performs drug tests? Drug testing is performed by almost three-quarters of the Fortune 500, and a growing number of small to mid-sized businesses. Even though the popularity of the practice fluctuates, companies will most likely continue drug testing into the foreseeable future. Recently, as many as 71 percent of employers performed a pre-employment drug screen, while nearly half used random drug testing. In the past decade, the number of Fortune 500 companies employing drug testing had doubled. Additionally, most of these companies had been performing drug tests for seven years or more, so this is not a practice likely to fall by the wayside. Why?"

Answer by James Joseph Confidence votes 3.3KUse niacin pills that are prescribed for cholesterol. You can use the prescription strength, if you know someone with a prescription. These are more affective, but generic over-the-counter niacin work as well. These pills work by burning off layers of fat and cholesterol where THC is stored. Take 2 or more, but i recommend starting with a low dose your first time. When taken drink plenty of water and cranberry juice if available. You will start beginning to feel really hot, and skin will become irritated (this is called Niacin Rush and is caused by the large amount of Niacin (or vitamin B) that you just consumed). This is normal that is just the pill doing its job."

"text": "\"Email Single-Page View Rapid HIV Tests: Questions/Answers From U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention March 1998What has been the routine test for HIV antibody testing? The standard screening test for antibody to HIV is the enzyme immunoasssay (EIA), which is widely used in the United States and around the world. This test requires serum or plasma, so a blood specimen must be drawn from a vein. Because EIA requires specialized equipment, the specimen must be sent to a laboratory, and test results are usually available several days to several weeks later. A negative screening test means a person is not infected with HIV, and does not require further testing. However, a diagnosis of HIV infection cannot be based on a reactive screening test alone. Thus, a reactive EIA is repeated, and repeatedly reactive EIA results are confirmed by a supplemental HIV antibody test --Western blot or immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Until now, testing required two visits. During the first visit, a client receives pretest counseling, and blood is drawn for HIV testing. During the second visit, test results are communicated to the client, additional counseling is provided, and clients who need them are given referrals for additional services."

The PPD test is used to determine if someone has developed an immune response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis ( TB ). The standard recommended tuberculin test is the Mantoux test, which is administered by injecting a 0.1 m L of liquid containing 5 TU (tuberculin units) PPD (purified protein derivative)into the top layers of skin of the forearm. Skin tests should be read 48-72 hours after the injection. The basis of the reading of the skin test is the presence or absence and the amount of induration (localized swelling)."

Once positive, a person's TB test will generally remain positive for life. Approximately one in ten latent infections will later progress to active disease unless treatment is given.

We respond to all questions and comments personally and if we cannot answer your questions … we will direct you to the help/resources that you need. Hydrocodone detection Drugs have certain detection windows, or amounts of time that they are detected in your system after you take them. These detection times are general estimations of ingestion and evidence drug use and usually do not determine amount or chronic use of a drug like hydrocodone. Furthermore, prescription drugs like hydrocodone are eliminated from the system at different rates and thus detectable for different periods of time, often long after the drug’s effect has worn off. And drug tests differ in their sensitivity. For example, hydrocodone detection time in urine is about 2-4 days (on the safe side), while hydrocodone can be detected in the hair for up to 3 months after your last pill."

These microorganisms can have remarkable abilities such that we cannot fathom. In order to begin to understand them, we must learn the basics. Some of these organisms have distinct qualities that set them apart from one another, such as the exposure to certain environments. Through out the semester in the laboratory, we are able to encounter some of the few microorganisms that we as humans have come into contact with. With the knowledge gained from the sessions in the laboratory, we can now integrate what we have learned to the process of finding out the unknowns given. Materials and Methods The unknown specimen was given out by the Professor. The test tubes were labeled number 122 and Alt 5. The primary objective was to isolate two different colonies within the test tube. First off, a streak plate must be done on a nutrient agar plate."

"text": "Oxidase Test Many organisms that respire have the cytochrome C oxidase enzymes in their electron transport chain that transfers electrons to oxygen, reducing oxygen to either water or hydrogen peroxide. ( If the toxic hydrogen peroxide is generated, catalase will convert the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.) The tests described here use Kovac's oxidase reagent (tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride) that changes color when it becomes oxidized by cytochrome C oxidase. As this enzyme requires oxygen, it is present only in aerobes, a few microaerophiles, and facultative anaerobes. Because all known strains that are oxidase positive are catalase positive (either +i or +s), but not all catalase positive strains are oxidase positive, these two tests together may really help narrow down the identification of an unknown. This test can be performed using one of two similar procedures, your instructor will inform you of which. Purpose : to test for the presence of cytochrome oxidase. This test is helpful in identifying members of Neisseria, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, to aid in differentiating Gram negative nonenterics from Enterobacteriaceae, and in identifying a few others. Colonial Growth Procedure: Have freshly grown growth in streaks, lines, or colonies on a solid media, such as Nutrient Agar or TSA. Do not use blood agar plates as blood cells contain oxidase and may give a false positive reading."

"text": "Home Bacteriology Oxidase Test Oxidase Test4 years ago by Dr. E. I 0Purpose The oxidase test is a biochemical reaction that assays for the presence of cytochrome oxidase, an enzyme sometimes called indophenol oxidase. In the presence of an organism that contains the cytochrome oxidase enzyme, the reduced colorless reagent becomes an oxidized colored product. Protocols There are many method variations to the oxidase test. These include, but are not limited to, the filter paper test, filter paper spot test, direct plate method, and test tube method. All times and concentrations are based upon the original authors’ recommendations. Filter Paper Test Method Soak a small piece of filter paper in 1% Kovács oxidase reagent and let dry. Use a loop and pick a well-isolated colony from a fresh (18- to 24-hour culture) bacterial plate and rub onto treated filter paper. Observe for color changes. Microorganisms are oxidase positive when the color changes to dark purple within 5 to 10 seconds. Microorganisms are delayed oxidase positive when the color changes to purple within 60 to 90 seconds."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search DMPDTMPDThe oxidase test is a test used in microbiology to determine if a bacterium produces certain cytochrome c oxidases. [ 1] It uses disks impregnated with a reagent such as N,N,N′,N′ -tetramethyl- p -phenylenediamine (TMPD) or N,N -dimethyl- p -phenylenediamine ( DMPD ), which is also a redox indicator. The reagent is a dark-blue to maroon color when oxidized, and colorless when reduced. Oxidase-positive bacteria possess cytochrome oxidase or indophenol oxidase (an iron-containing hemoprotein). [ 2] These both catalyze the transport of electrons from donor compounds (NADH) to electron acceptors (usually oxygen). The test reagent, TMPD dihydrochloride acts as an artificial electron donor for the enzyme oxidase. The oxidized reagent forms the colored compound indophenol blue. The cytochrome system is usually only present in aerobic organisms that are capable of using oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. The end-product of this metabolism is either water or hydrogen peroxide (broken down by catalase ).

"text": "Confirmation Testing of Presumptive Positive Assays Using the Bio Lumix System Posted on January 27, 2012 by Webmaster In Microbiology, the initial test result using selective or differential media is called Presumptive Test. Most presumptive tests require confirmation. Confirmation can be accomplished using specific reagents and materials. However, due to the critical importance of testing for pathogens and/or objectionable organisms as contaminants; it may be necessary to perform identification of any organisms isolated from samples. Identification measures microorganisms to the species level. Initial Testing For testing of any sample for the presence of microorganisms it is critical to perform a measure of total organism counts (viable organisms). Bio Lumix provides testing for both Total Aerobic Counts (Bacteria) and for Total Yeast and Mold Counts (Fungi). The Bio Lumix system in this regard mimics testing for both bacteria and fungi using USP or BAM plate methodology. In these initial tests for total counts there isn’t any discrimination of objectionable organisms from common organisms and common flora. Objectionable organisms for Nutraceutical Samples as an example may include E coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella or Pseudomonas aeruginosa."

"text": "Histamine and histamine intolerance Laura Maintz Natalija Novak The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Volume 85, Issue 5, 1 May 2007, Pages 1185–1196, https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcn/85.5.1185Published: 01 May 2007 Article history Views PDF Cite Permissions Share Abstract Histamine intolerance results from a disequilibrium of accumulated histamine and the capacity for histamine degradation. Histamine is a biogenic amine that occurs to various degrees in many foods. In healthy persons, dietary histamine can be rapidly detoxified by amine oxidases, whereas persons with low amine oxidase activity are at risk of histamine toxicity. Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main enzyme for the metabolism of ingested histamine. It has been proposed that DAO, when functioning as a secretory protein, may be responsible for scavenging extracellular histamine after mediator release. Conversely, histamine N -methyltransferase, the other important enzyme inactivating histamine, is a cytosolic protein that can convert histamine only in the intracellular space of cells. An impaired histamine degradation based on reduced DAO activity and the resulting histamine excess may cause numerous symptoms mimicking an allergic reaction. The ingestion of histamine-rich food or of alcohol or drugs that release histamine or block DAO may provoke diarrhea, headache, rhinoconjunctival symptoms, asthma, hypotension, arrhythmia, urticaria, pruritus, flushing, and other conditions in patients with histamine intolerance. Symptoms can be reduced by a histamine-free diet or be eliminated by antihistamines. However, because of the multifaceted nature of the symptoms, the existence of histamine intolerance has been underestimated, and further studies based on double-blind, placebo-controlled provocations are needed."

The dye is reduced to deep purple color. This test is used to assist in the identification of Pseudomonas, Neisseria, Alcaligens, Aeromonas, Campylobacter, Vibrio, Brucella and Pasteurella, all of which produce the enzyme cytochrome oxidase. A number of reagents can be used for this test. Kovacs Oxidase Reagent:1% tetra-methyl- p -phenylenediamine dihydrochloride, in water Gordon and Mc Leod’s Reagent:1% dimethyl- p -phenylenediamine dihydrochloride, in water Gaby and Hadley (indophenol oxidase) Reagent:1% α-naphthol in 95% ethanol1% p -aminodimethylaniline HCLPrinciple of Oxidase Test Cytochrome containing organisms produce an intracellular oxidase enzyme. This oxidase enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of cytochrome c. Organisms which contain cytochrome c as part of their respiratory chain are oxidase-positive and turn the reagent blue/purple. Organisms lacking cytochrome c as part of their respiratory chain do not oxidize the reagent, leaving it colorless within the limits of the test, and are oxidase-negative. Oxidase positive bacteria possess cytochrome oxidase or indophenol oxidase (an iron containing haemoprotein). Both of these catalyse the transport of electrons from donor compounds (NADH) to electron acceptors (usually oxygen). The test reagent, N, N, N’, N’-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride acts as an artificial electron acceptor for the enzyme oxidase."

Most ATP, however, is generated during a separate process called oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration begins when electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH 2 —made in glycolysis, the transition reaction, and the Krebs cycle—through a series of chemical reactions to a final inorganic electron acceptor (either oxygen in aerobic respiration or non-oxygen inorganic molecules in anaerobic respiration). These electron transfers take place on the inner part of the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells or in specialized protein complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. The energy of the electrons is harvested to generate an electrochemical gradient across the membrane, which is used to make ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. Electron Transport System The electron transport system (ETS) is the last component involved in the process of cellular respiration; it comprises a series of membrane-associated protein complexes and associated mobile accessory electron carriers. Electron transport is a series of chemical reactions that resembles a bucket brigade in that electrons from NADH and FADH 2 are passed rapidly from one ETS electron carrier to the next. These carriers can pass electrons along in the ETS because of their redox potential. For a protein or chemical to accept electrons, it must have a more positive redox potential than the electron donor. Therefore, electrons move from electron carriers with more negative redox potential to those with more positive redox potential."

The most common cause for sciatica is irritation of the spinal nerves in or near the lumbar spine. Sometimes the nerve irritation is not in the spine but further down the leg. One possible cause of sciatica is piriformis syndrome. Piriformis syndrome can be painful, but it is seldom dangerous and rarely leads to the need for surgery. Most people with this condition can reduce the pain and manage the problem with simple methods, such as physical therapy.

Sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body starting from pelvis passing through buttocks, thighs and backside of the leg and ending near the sole of the feet. Typically sciatica affects only one side of the body or only one leg. Treatment for Sciatica :a. Physiotherapy: Once the acute pain of sciatica is relieved, the physiotherapist can suggest the patient a few exercises which patient has to do on day-to-day basis. Physiotherapist may also guide on maintaining the correct posture while sitting or standing. Physiotherapist may also guide on doing some strengthening exercises for the muscles of lower back and stretching exercises for improving the flexibility of the muscles.b. Conventional treatment: Medical treatment: This includes prescribing NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs) and some muscle relaxants for pain relief. Steroid injections: In severe cases of sciatica, doctor may advise the patient to take steroid injections in the area around the involved nerve root. But, number of steroid shots to be given to the patients is limited because of serious side effects of the same.c. Surgical treatment: In severe cases of sciatica where there is significant damage to the sciatic nerve resulting in bowel and bladder incontinence and in cases where the pain is so severe that it does not come under control with any other therapies, surgeons can perform a surgery on the patient of sciatica.d."

What is Sciatica? Sciatica is pain that originates in a person’s lower, or lumbar back and shoots down the buttock and down the leg when the sciatic nerve is compressed, or pinched. There are two sciatic nerves, and they are the largest nerves in the body. They run down the base of a person’s spine to their feet. Pain occurs when a disc in the lower vertebra ruptures and its contents press against one of the sciatic nerves. The discs are made out of a spongy substance that cushions the bones of the vertebrae from each other. Pressure is put on the spine when a person bends over and tries to lift a heavy object the wrong way or when they try and lift weights without properly warming up. A bone spur can also irritate the nerve, and people with uncontrolled diabetes may contract sciatica due to nerve damage caused by the disease."

When it comes to a healing from a pinched nerve in lower back, early diagnosis is critical to prevent further damage and complications. But what’s really confusing is that you’ll be offered the exact same pinched nerve “treatment”, whether you’re diagnosed earlier or later. Pills. Nice colorful pills. Those will be offered to you as a “solution”. But the average doctor will teach you absolutely nothing about fixing the root cause of you pinched nerve, how to heal it completely and prevent it from coming back in a month or so. Nor will he tell you that medication only covers up the symptoms and that the pain will come right back, until you take the next pill. And the next pill. Forever."

"text": "\"by Heather Corinna Share |Usually, when we’re looking at a layout of sexual anatomy it's through the lens of reproduction, so it’s all about penises and vaginas, testes and uterus. But from a standpoint of pleasure and sexual response, sexual anatomy is about far more than genitals and is far less about reproductive organs. Ultimately, all the parts of the body are potential or actual sexual organs in the context of pleasure, though some body parts or areas, overall, tend to play a bigger role for most people than other parts do. Our most important sexual organs when it comes to pleasure are not only usually different than we think, but operate far less independently than we assume or have been told. We're not saying the genitals aren't important or a big deal with sexual pleasure and experience: for most people, most of the time, they are. That's hardly surprising. There are a lot of densely packed nerve endings in our genitals, and if and when we stimulate them ourselves, wantedly have them stimulated by others, or rub two sets together, it does tend to often result in a sexual kapowie. But the kapowie experience is a lot more complicated than the stimulating of the genitals part. Sexual anatomy is also often presented as only about genitals because sexual anatomy presentations tend to privilege reproduction above pleasure and cultural thinking about sexuality often isn’t very holistic or sophisticated. Let’s face it: we also live in a world where it’s considered a lot more socially acceptable to frame sexual anatomy as reproductive than as the parts that can bring us sexual pleasure."

Radiologists tend to use the following when describing nerve compression....minimal as the slightest touching, mild as more compression on a nerve, moderate and you're really feeling pain and the severe is when they operate as you are in danger of killing the nerve completely. With spinal cord compression, they can actually tell you just how much compression you have."

"text": "How To Configure a Comcast Business Class Static IP Address Posted by Bob Jackson | Home Networking, Technology | 106This tutorial explains how to configure a Comcast Business Class static IP address to enable remote access to network clients from the Internet. The Comcast Business IP Gateway (SMC8014 or NETGEAR CG3000DCR) is configured for pseudo bridge mode by disabling the normal routing, firewall, NAT and DHCP functions. The Internet-routable static IP address is assigned the Linksys Wi Fi router WAN interface for remote Internet access to LAN clients. Remote Internet Access Problem I was helping a small business setup IP network cameras with the Comcast Business Class cable modem service but ran into a problem with Internet remote access: the DDNS agent in the Linksys Wi Fi router was showing a 10.1.10.10 (“10 space”) non-Internet routable private IP address. I logged into the Dyn Remote Access account saw the 10.1.10.10 private IP address listed in the Host Services table. The problem is the Comcast IP Gateway operates in Router Mode and assigns a 10.1.10.x private IP address to the Linksys router WAN interface. My first thought was to request a standard cable modem which operates in Bridge Mode, however Comcast Business does not support static IP addresses on standard cable modems and you must use their Business IP gateway (cable modem/router combo) to get an Internet routable static IP address. Comcast Business Class Internet will install a NETGEAR CG3000DCR IP Gateway which is a cable modem and router combo that runs a custom firmware load by Comcast. ( We originally had an SMC8014 gateway which Comcast replaced with a NETGEAR CG3000DCR when the SMC8014 failed). The Comcast IP Gateway does not support true Bridge Mode as compared to a basic cable modem nor does it provide a simple user menu option to select the “bridge mode | router mode” working mode like some gateways."

The Default Router IP Address Is Required to Access the Router's Settings Share Pin Email Print Maciej Frolow/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Imagesby Bradley Mitchell Updated November 17, 2017Home broadband routers possess two IP addresses. One is for communicating locally, inside the home network (called a private IP address) and the other for connecting to networks outside of the local one, like the internet (they're called public IP addresses ). Internet providers supply the public address while the private address is controlled by the home network administrator. However, if you've never changed the local address, and especially if the router was bought new, this IP address is considered the \"\"default IP address\"\" because it's the one supplied by the manufacturer. When first setting up a router, the administrator must know this address in order to connect to its console. This typically works by pointing a web browser to the IP address in the form of a URL. You can see an example of how that works below. This is sometimes also called the default gateway address since client devices rely on the router as their gateway to the internet. Computer operating systems sometimes use this term on their network configuration menus."

How do I Configure Address Translation for Outside to Inside How Do I Configure NAT With One LAN and Multiple WANs? Network Address Translation Network Address Translation ( NAT) is a robust form of address translation that extends addressing capabilities by providing both static address translations and dynamic address translations. NAT allows a host that does not have a valid registered IP address to communicate with other hosts through the Internet. The hosts may be using private addresses or addresses assigned to another organization; in either case, NAT allows these addresses that are not Internet-ready to continue to be used but still allow communication with hosts across the Internet. Network Address Translation Wizards You can use a wizard to guide you in creating a Network Address Translation ( NAT) rule. Choose one of the following wizards:• Basic NATChoose the Basic NAT wizard if you want to connect your network to the Internet (or the outside), and your network has hosts but no servers. Look at the sample diagram that appears to the right when you choose Basic NAT. If your network is made up only of PCs that require access to the Internet, choose Basic NAT and click the Launch button.• Advanced NATChoose the Advanced NAT wizard if you want to connect your network to the Internet (or the outside), and your network has hosts and servers, and the servers must be accessible to outside hosts (hosts on the Internet). Look at the sample diagram that appears to the right when you choose Advanced NAT."

The Internet protocols consist of a suite of communication protocols, of which the two best known are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). The Internet protocol suite not only includes lower-layer protocols (such as TCP and IP), but it also specifies common applications such as electronic mail, terminal emulation, and file transfer. This article provides a broad introduction to specifications that comprise the Internet protocols. Discussions include IP addressing and key upper-layer protocols used in the Internet.

"text": "\"Modbus 101 - Introduction to Modbus Modbus A Bird's Eye View The most commonly used form of Modbus protocol is RTU over RS-485. A Modbus RTU network has one Master and one or more Slaves. Each slave has a unique 8-bit device address or unit number. Packets sent by the master include the address of the slave the message is intended for. The slave must respond only if its address is recognized, and must respond within a certain time period or the master will call it a \"\"no response\"\" error. Modbus data is most often read and written as \"\"registers\"\" which are 16-bit pieces of data. Most often, the register is either a signed or unsigned 16-bit integer. If a 32-bit integer or floating point is required, these values are actually read as a pair of registers. The most commonly used register is called a Holding Register, and these can be read or written. The other possible type is Input Register, which is read-only."

Internet identity ( IID ), also online identity or internet persona, is a social identity that an Internet user establishes in online communities and websites. It can also be considered as an actively constructed presentation of oneself. Although some people choose to use their real names online, some Internet users prefer to be anonymous, identifying themselves by means of pseudonyms, which reveal varying amounts of personally identifiable information. An online identity may even be determined by a user's relationship to a certain social group they are a part of online. Some can even be deceptive about their identity. In some online contexts, including Internet forums, online chats, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), users can represent themselves visually by choosing an avatar, an icon-sized graphic image. Avatars are one way users express their online identity. [ 1] Through interaction with other users, an established online identity acquires a reputation, which enables other users to decide whether the identity is worthy of trust. [ 2] Online identities are associated with users through authentication, which typically requires registration and logging in."

"text": "Subnets and Subnet Masks The Internet Address Classes accommodate three scales of IP internetworks, where the 32-bits of the IP address are apportioned between network IDs and host IDs depending on how many networks and hosts per network are needed. However, consider the class A network ID, which has the possibility of over 16 million hosts on the same network. All the hosts on the same physical network bounded by IP routers share the same broadcast traffic; they are in the same broadcast domain. It is not practical to have 16 million nodes in the same broadcast domain. The result is that most of the 16 million host addresses are unassignable and are wasted. Even a class B network with 65 thousand hosts is impractical. In an effort to create smaller broadcast domains and to better utilize the bits in the host ID, an IP network can be subdivided into smaller networks, each bounded by an IP router and assigned a new subnetted network ID, which is a subset of the original class-based network ID. This creates subnets , subdivisions of an IP network each with their own unique subnetted network ID. Subnetted network IDs are created by using bits from the host ID portion of the original class-based network ID. Consider the example in Figure 1.7."

"text": "\"Penetration Testing – Complete Guide with Sample Test Cases Posted In | Types of Testing | Last Updated: \"\"January 31, 2018\"\"What is Penetration Testing? It’s the process to identify security vulnerabilities in an application by evaluating the system or network with various malicious techniques. The weak points of a system are exploited in this process through an authorized simulated attack. The purpose of this test is to secure important data from outsiders like hackers who can have unauthorized access to the system. Once the vulnerability is identified it is used to exploit the system in order to gain access to sensitive information. A penetration test is also known as pen test and a penetration tester is also referred as an ethical hacker. We can figure out the vulnerabilities of a computer system, a web application or a network through penetration testing. A penetration test tells whether the existing defensive measures employed on the system are strong enough to prevent any security breaches. Penetration test reports also suggest the countermeasures that can be taken to reduce the risk of the system being hacked.

The project has delivered a complete testing framework, not merely a simple checklist or prescription of issues that should be addressed. Readers can use this framework as a template to build their own testing programs or to qualify other people’s processes. The Testing Guide describes in detail both the general testing framework and the techniques required to implement the framework in practice. Writing the Testing Guide has proven to be a difficult task. It was a challenge to obtain consensus and develop content that allowed people to apply the concepts described in the guide, while also enabling them to work in their own environment and culture.

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Make a Network Cable The steps below are general Ethernet Category 5 (commonly known as Cat 5) cable construction guidelines. For our example, we will be making a Category 5e patch cable, but the same general method will work for making any category of network cables. Steps1 Unroll the required length of network cable and add a little extra wire, just in case. If a boot is to be fitted, do so before stripping away the sleeve and ensure the boot faces the correct way. Please note that the cable length should not be more that 100 meters to prevent attenuation (i.e. degradation of signal strength due to losses as signal travel down the length of the cable). Keeping the length within 100 meters from the access point (i.e. face plate) to the patch panel or network switch will ensure good signal strength/quality.23 Carefully remove the outer jacket of the cable. Be careful when stripping the jacket as to not nick or cut the internal wiring. One good way to do this is to cut lengthwise with snips or a knife along the side of the cable, away from yourself, about an inch toward the open end. This reduces the risk of nicking the wires' insulation. Locate the string inside with the wires, or if no string is found, use the wires themselves to unzip the sheath of the cable by holding the sheath in one hand and pulling sideways with the string or wire."

"text": "Today, more than ever before, computers and networks are subjected to repeated attacks by cyber criminals and hackers. Cybercriminals focus on finding weaknesses within a computer or network and exploit that weakness by launching an attack. In the worst case scenario, these attacks can cause large scale damage to an organization, especially when it revolves around electronic vandalism, denial of service, sabotage, and theft of information. One of the ways organizations can be better prepared to handle such attacks is by performing penetration tests. Penetration tests are performed by skilled testers who possess skills to perform repeated attacks on computer systems and networks with the sole intention of identifying loopholes in the security system, which could potentially provide access to cyber attackers. Professional penetration testers undergo an extensive training that helps them to identify high-risk vulnerabilities, allows testing of network defenders, and helps them to assess the magnitude of potential operational and business impacts following an attack. Why CPT Certification is so popular Who hires a penetration tester? A penetration tester can be hired by cyber security agencies and IT companies. By hiring a certified penetration tester IT companies can take the first step towards prevention of cyber attacks. The CPT certification course prepares a prospective penetration tester to identify and analyze Network Protocol Attacks, Penetration Testing Methodologies, Vulnerability Identification, Network Reconnaissance, Windows Exploits, Covert Channels & Rootkits, Unix/Linux Exploits, Web Application Vulnerabilities, and Wireless Security Flaws."

Download at mulesoft.com6 Answers Kiruthika Palanivel, ETL and BI Tester Answered Jul 20, 2016Well, firstly there are lot of factors considered so it wouldn't be appropriate for anyone to give a salary figure on the go. Mainly, It depends on the company you work for. Being an IT Professional, there are three types of companies you can work in -Product Based companies like Google, Microsoft, Cisco, SAP, Informatica ... Self financing IT Division of Companies whose core business is something else - like Flipkart, Target, ANZ, L Brands and so on IT Service Companies - TCS, Infosys, CTS, Wipro ... To the best of my knowledge, first two categories are pay masters among these and Product based might pay slightly more than self financing. You can't expect the same from IT Services (in India) but there would be significant long/short term onsite opportunities whereas the other two would have minimal to none. You can check in Glassdoor.com. From what I know, 6-7l on average. Again, it would differ across locations within India as well. Also, factors like whether the candidate has career or academic gap, recently received salary hike, Educational Institues he or she studied, regular or correspondence course, etc might be taken into account by Recruitment team when a job offer has been made."

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a collection of software functions and procedures, called API calls, that can be executed by other software applications. Application developers code that links to existing APIs to make use of their functionality. This link is seamless and end-users of the application are generally unaware of using a separately developed API. During testing, a test harness-an application that links the API and methodically exercises its functionality-is constructed to simulate the use of the API by end-user applications. The interesting problems for testers are: 1. Ensuring that the test harness varies parameters of the API calls in ways that verify functionality and expose failures.

"text": "Open Source Active Reconnaissance (Red Team)March 29, 2016 Ryan Fyffe From The Front Lines With the current threat landscape and likelihood of targeted attacks, organizations are dealing with myriad attempts to breach their network on a daily basis. This makes understanding how attackers learn about your organization’s network, employees, and business practices crucial. Having visibility into an attacker’s reconnaissance (recon) activities, whether it is active network scanning or passive information gathering through social media, enables an organization to better protect themselves from a large-scale breach. First, I would like to clarify some terminology. When referring to active network reconnaissance (recon), I mean sending packets to the target organization’s network or assets. This may be through automated scanning or manual testing. Passive recon entails collecting information about an organization through third party sites, such as social media sites. Active network recon poses the risk of being detected, which is why attackers often opt for the “low and slow” method you will see demonstrated in this post. Often, attackers default to spear phishing campaigns over active network recon because the likelihood of being detected is greater while scanning. Spear phishing allows for the targeting of certain individuals within an organization and follows the thinking that individuals are more vulnerable than say, a web server."

[ 1] Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. Test techniques include the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects), and verifying that the software product is fit for use. Software testing involves the execution of a software component or system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest. In general, these properties indicate the extent to which the component or system under testmeets the requirements that guided its design and development,responds correctly to all kinds of inputs,performs its functions within an acceptable time,is sufficiently usable,can be installed and run in its intended environments, andachieves the general result its stakeholders desire. As the number of possible tests for even simple software components is practically infinite, all software testing uses some strategy to select tests that are feasible for the available time and resources. As a result, software testing typically (but not exclusively) attempts to execute a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects). The job of testing is an iterative process as when one bug is fixed, it can illuminate other, deeper bugs, or can even create new ones. Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and risk of its failure to users or sponsors.

For the second post in the cyber series for business owners, I’d like to focus upon penetration testing. Again, credit goes to infosec engineer Shaggie Scheferman for his technical input. I’d like to first establish what a penetration test is (and what it is not), look at some of the reasons why organizations invest in this type of testing, and ultimately lead the reader to ask “What does my organization want out of a penetration test and why?” I’ll also share some important considerations when it comes to selecting a partner to conduct a penetration test. What is a Penetration Test? There are a lot of different ways that penetration testing is described, conducted and marketed. Often confused with conducting a “vulnerability scan”, “compliance audit” or “security assessment”, penetration testing stands apart from these efforts in a few critical ways: A penetration test doesn’t stop at simply uncovering vulnerabilities: it goes the next step to actively exploit those vulnerabilities in order to prove (or disprove) real-world attack vectors against an organization’s IT assets, data, humans, and/or physical security."

"text": "A neurology doctor, or neurologist, is a healthcare professional who diagnoses and treats disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. He or she can specialize in one area or work more broadly, and can also be either a primary care provider or work in consultation with other healthcare providers. It usually takes about 14 years of university-level training to become a neurologist in most countries, as well as passing several national-level certification exams. Conditions Treated Neurologists can help treat a wide variety of conditions, including birth defects, like spinal bifida and medical conditions like strokes, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. He or she can also treat tumors on the brain and spinal cord, and trauma, like concussions and strokes. Some choose to specialize in treating people of a certain age, like children or the elderly, while others focus on a specific condition, like headaches or dementia. Additionally, a neurology doctor can work as a reference for other healthcare professionals, giving them advice about the effects on the nervous system of medical conditions like Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), or of certain substances, like drugs or alcohol. Ad Work Environment The day-to-day work environment of a neurology doctor often depends on the type of condition he or she specializes in. For example, one who focuses on epilepsy may act as the primary care provider to his or her patients, educating them about their condition, prescribing medication or recommending surgery to reduce their symptoms, and accepting referrals from other doctors. A person specializing in strokes, on the other hand, would probably act as a secondary care provider and advising other healthcare professionals."

In January, I was at my Wednesday night billiards league, and the pressure in my right eye would not let up and got to the point where I had to actually tape my eyelid shut (I used medical paper tape). This proved to relieve some of the pressure, but still caused some discomfort, since the tape itched and the pressure was still there. The following afternoon, a migraine hit hard (no triggers) and I ended up in the ER. My eye pressure/pain and migraine was at a 9. I was given some wonderful drugs and sent home. Since then, I have still been experiencing the eye pressure, with and without the pain. The pain usually doesn’t occur all of the time, but when it does, it doesn’t occur until night.

The narrowing of vessels such as these may be systemic or involving your body as a whole. The main potential cause of this would be hypertension.

If after measuring 12 to 20 numbers and try to get an even mix of AM and PM readings, then the average of the systolic (upper number) and diastolic (lower number) should be reliable readings.

"text": "Working with Your Doctor What is a Neurologist? A neurologist is a medical doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system. Neurologists do not perform surgery. A neurologist's training includes an undergraduate degree, four years of medical school, a one-year internship, and at least three years of specialized training. Many neurologists also have additional training in other areas—or subspecialties—of neurology such as stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, and movement disorders. These are some of the more common subspecialties within the field of neurology. What Does a Neurologist Treat? Common neurologic disorders include: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's disease)Alzheimer's disease Brain and spinal cord injuries Brain tumors Epilepsy Headache Pain Multiple Sclerosis Parkinson's disease Stroke Tremor What is the Role of a Neurologist? Neurologists are principal care providers, consultants to other doctors, or both.

"text": "Print Overview Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract. An EMG translates these signals into graphs, sounds or numerical values that a specialist interprets. An EMG uses tiny devices called electrodes to transmit or detect electrical signals. During a needle EMG, a needle electrode inserted directly into a muscle records the electrical activity in that muscle. A nerve conduction study, another part of an EMG, uses electrodes taped to the skin (surface electrodes) to measure the speed and strength of signals traveling between two or more points. EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. Why it's done Your doctor may order an EMG if you have signs or symptoms that may indicate a nerve or muscle disorder. Such symptoms may include: Tingling Numbness Muscle weakness Muscle pain or cramping Certain types of limb pain EMG results are often necessary to help diagnose or rule out a number of conditions such as: Muscle disorders, such as muscular dystrophy or polymyositis Diseases affecting the connection between the nerve and the muscle, such as myasthenia gravis Disorders of nerves outside the spinal cord (peripheral nerves), such as carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathies Disorders that affect the motor neurons in the brain or spinal cord, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or polio Disorders that affect the nerve root, such as a herniated disk in the spine Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Risks EMG is a low-risk procedure, and complications are rare. There's a small risk of bleeding, infection and nerve injury where a needle electrode is inserted."

There are a number of unavoidable issues when dealing with the symptoms of autonomic neuropathy many of which are covered in Dr. Norman Latov’s book Peripheral Neuropathy: When the Numbness, Weakness, and Pain Won’t Stop,Autonomic neuropathy is a result of damage to the autonomic nerves which control your involutary body functions that keep you alive. These functions include the cardiac cycle (heart beat), pulmonary systems (breathing), bladder function, and digestion. It also affects the body’s ability to regulate temperature, tearing, sexual functions, blood pressure, saliva production, and swallowing among other body systems that function automatically. In the process of dealing with autonomic neuropathy symptoms for more than half my life I have developed the most affective ways for me, personally to deal with some of the symptoms of autonomic neuropathy. Autonomic Neuropathy Symptoms and How to Treat Them It is important when considering the following suggestions, you discuss them first with your own primary care doctor. That being said, and having dealt with each of the symptoms below, here are some practical ideas which have worked best for me in dealing with my autonomic neuropathy symptoms: Rule #1: From Dr. Latov’s book, “ Do not OVER treat your autonomic neuropathy symptoms. ” This is great advice when dealing with alternating diarrhea and constipation while trying to find a balance. ( Books on Peripheral Neuropathy)Diarrhea – Simple advice eat smaller and more frequent meals with lower fat and carbohydrates helps. Of course doing what your mother taught you, drink lots of fluid especially coke in moderation, eat bananas, while increasing intake of salads are all natural approaches that work."

"text": "A neurology doctor, or neurologist, is a healthcare professional who diagnoses and treats disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. He or she can specialize in one area or work more broadly, and can also be either a primary care provider or work in consultation with other healthcare providers. It usually takes about 14 years of university-level training to become a neurologist in most countries, as well as passing several national-level certification exams. Conditions Treated Neurologists can help treat a wide variety of conditions, including birth defects, like spinal bifida and medical conditions like strokes, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. He or she can also treat tumors on the brain and spinal cord, and trauma, like concussions and strokes. Some choose to specialize in treating people of a certain age, like children or the elderly, while others focus on a specific condition, like headaches or dementia. Additionally, a neurology doctor can work as a reference for other healthcare professionals, giving them advice about the effects on the nervous system of medical conditions like Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), or of certain substances, like drugs or alcohol. Ad Work Environment The day-to-day work environment of a neurology doctor often depends on the type of condition he or she specializes in. For example, one who focuses on epilepsy may act as the primary care provider to his or her patients, educating them about their condition, prescribing medication or recommending surgery to reduce their symptoms, and accepting referrals from other doctors. A person specializing in strokes, on the other hand, would probably act as a secondary care provider and advising other healthcare professionals."

Although a neurologist does not perform surgery, specific skills are needed, as the work completed by a neurologist is used by neurosurgeons that do perform brain surgery to improve the nervous system or cure diseases of the brain. Communication Neurologists work closely with patients to diagnose and treat clinical disorders of the human nervous system. This includes the brain, nerves and spinal cord. A neurologist must be able to communicate effectively, as patients may simply feel bad without knowing why. The doctor must ask questions about headaches, sleep disorders, old spinal or brain injuries or nerve disorders to determine the root cause of the pain or problems of the patient. Since some patients may feel uncomfortable, friendly communication is a must. Administrative Skills A neurologist must have administrative skills, including basic reading and writing skills. Neurologists must update patients’ files and update any progressions made by the patients during treatment. The neurologist must also have excellent writing skills, since he may be writing a patient’s condition down to a neurosurgeon who will be conducting surgery on the patient."

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."

Many people go from doctor to doctor for years before being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Here are some things you can do to help your doctors help you: Keep a record of symptoms- keep track of your symptoms, when they began, what helped or didn’t, any treatments you have tried and who prescribed them. Keep copies of your medical records - by law, you are entitled to your health records. Keeping copies of consults, lab and x-ray results as well as other pertinent information can save time and money, and prevent you from having to have the same tests repeated more than once. You can request your records; there may be a small fee charged for copying fees and you may have to sign a release.

They may specialize in neurosurgery, pediatric neurology, behavioral neurology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuro-oncology, sleep disorders or other fields. Neurologists must receive extensive education and training, perform a wide range of duties, and work long hours. Those who meet these challenges can look forward to rewarding careers, as neurologists are in great demand. Neurologist Job Description A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in nervous-system conditions. The job entails consulting with patients, conducting tests and procedures, making diagnoses, and prescribing medication and other treatment. A neurologist examines the nerves in the head and the neck, and measures a patient’s muscular coordination and reflexes."

Just to start off, Dr. Feinberg, because some people might not know what a physiatrist is; could you let the audience know that? Dr. Feinberg: Sure. Physiatry is a small specialty. There are probably 5,000 board certified physiatrists in the country. The specialty is young – it was established in the 1950s. It’s a specialty that overlaps with orthopedics and neurology. We’re non-surgical specialists. We don’t perform any surgery, but see a lot of non-surgical orthopedic and neurologic problems. We’re also one of the two specialists that perform electrodiagnostic studies, the other specialists being neurologists."

There is no strict definition of what an epileptologist is. ( Although the term was first made popular by William Spratling, now regarded as North America’s first epileptologist. ) Generally speaking, an epileptologist is a neurologist who has a specific interest in, and focuses on, epilepsy. To become a neurologist in the U. S., one must graduate from medical (or osteopathic medicine) school, and then complete a neurology residency (training) for four years. After that, the neurologist can sub-specialize in a more specific field of neurology, including epilepsy. ( Other examples include nervous system disorders — including diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles, stroke, pain, neuromuscular disease, and movement disorders)."

A neurologist is specially trained to evaluate different areas of evidence to arrive at a diagnosis of MS. However, in certain cases, it can take time to determine whether you have the disease because a diagnosis requires evidence of multiple attacks/exacerbations or evidence of a steady progression of neurologic damage. Diagnostic tools your neurologist will use A diagnosis of MS is called a clinical diagnosis because it requires evidence that your neurologist gathers from your medical history, your present symptoms, results from a thorough neurologic examination, as well as findings from other special tests including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), evoked potentials, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Among different medical specialties, only neurologists are trained to gather and evaluate these different threads of evidence. As an MS patient, it is important to find a neurologist who has additional training and expertise in treating MS. Medical history. Most likely you are initially referred to a neurologist because you have experienced symptoms that suggest something may be going wrong with your CNS. The first thing your neurologist will do is to take a thorough medical history. He or she will ask you to bring your complete medical records and the results from any relevant tests that you have had taken."

Neurologists are medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating patients with brain and nervous system disorders. Diseases and conditions related to the central and peripheral nervous system and immune system commonly fall into the neurologist's area of expertise. Though the work is challenging and it takes many years of schooling to become a neurologist, there are a number of compelling reasons to pursue this career. Compensation Like most medical doctors, neurologists earn a comfortable living. According to the Medscape Physician Compensation Report, neurologists earned an average salary of $184,000 a year in 2011. Although that is actually on the lower end of the salary scale for all physicians, it still puts neurologists well above pediatricians and family practitioners. Speaking engagements and product sales allow for additional income, according to the report. Variable Work The specific types of conditions neurologists deal with are broad.

"text": "What are the parts of the nervous system? The nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system: The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of the nerve fibers that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body, including the neck and arms, torso, legs, skeletal muscles and internal organs. The brain sends messages through the spinal cord and nerves of the peripheral nervous system to control the movement of the muscles and the function of internal organs. The basic working unit of the nervous system is a cell called a neuron. The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons. A neuron consists of a cell body containing the nucleus, and special extensions called axons (pronounced AK-sonz) and dendrites (pronounced DEN-drahytz ). Neurons communicate with each other using axons and dendrites. When a neuron receives a message from another neuron, it sends an electrical signal down the length of its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical signal is converted into a chemical signal, and the axon releases chemical messengers called neurotransmitters (pronounced noor-oh-TRANS-mit-erz )."

Mostly, these neurons are associated with ____________, which are sensory receptors located in blood vessels, visceral organs, muscles, and the nervous system that monitor conditions in the internal environment.chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors Examples of interoceptors are __________ that monitor blood CO2 level and __________ that detect the degree of stretch in the walls of organs or blood vessels. Unlike those triggered by a flower's perfume, a beautiful painting, or a delicious meal, these sensory signals are not consciously perceived most of the time, although intense activation of interoceptors may produce conscious sensations.autonomic motor neurons ________________ regulate visceral activities by either increasing (exciting) or decreasing (inhibiting) ongoing activities in their effector tissues (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands).changes in pupil size, dilation and constriction of blood vessels, adjustment of the rate and force of the heartbeat What are examples of some autonomic motor responses?biofeedback __________, in which monitoring devices display information about a body function such as heart rate or blood pressure, enhances the ability to learn such conscious control of autonomic motor responses.true true or false: most autonomic motor pathways consist of two motor neurons in series, that is, one following the other (Figure 15.1b). The first neuron (preganglionic neuron) has its cell body in the CNS; its myelinated axon extends from the CNS to an autonomic ganglion. The cell body of the second neuron (postganglionic neuron) is also in that same autonomic gan- glion; its unmyelinated axon extends directly from the ganglion to the effector (smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, or a gland). Alterna- tively, in some autonomic pathways, the first motor neuron extends to specialized cells called chromaffin cells in the adrenal medullae (inner portions of the adrenal glands) rather than an autonomic ganglion.acetylcholine, norepinephrine all somatic motor neurons release only acetyl- choline (ACh) as their neurotransmitter, but autonomic motor neurons release either what two neurotransmitters?sympathetic division, parasympathetic division Unlike somatic output (motor), the output part of the ANS has two divisions. What are they?dual innervation Most organs have ____________; that is, they receive impulses from both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. In some organs, nerve impulses from one division of the ANS stimulate the organ to increase its activity (excitation), and impulses from the other division decrease the organ's activity (inhibition). For example, an increased rate of nerve impulses from the sympathetic division increases heart rate, and an increased rate of nerve impulses from the parasympathetic division decreases heart rate.fight or flight The sympathetic division is often called the _________ division."

The most complex structure in the universe is the three pound mass of cells within your skull called the brain. The brain consists of about 100 billion neurons, which is about the same number as all the stars in our Milky Way galaxy and the number of galaxies in the known universe. It also contains about a trillion glial cells, which contribute to the proper function of neurons. Like any complex machine, the brain contains a lot of parts, each of which has subparts, which themselves have subparts, all the way down to the “nuts and bolts” — the neurons and glia. In this Cheat Sheet, you find information on the key parts of the brain and the role and function of the cells that make up the nervous system. Neuroscience: The Types and Function of Cells in the Central Nervous System The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system (the sensory and motor neurons), and the autonomic nervous system (which regulates body processes such as digestion and heart rate). All the divisions of the nervous system are based universally on the functions of neurons, specialized cells that process information. Neurons generate nerve impulses that cause the release of chemicals in specialized spaces called synapses that allow different neurons to talk to each other. The proper function of neurons is dependent on specialized glial cells."

"text": "Brain Electricity and the Mind December 3, 2012When the topic is color a group of neurons oscillate with synchronous beta waves between two brain regions. When the content changes from color to orientation a different group of neurons have the same synchronous beta waves between two other regions. In this experiment it appears that synchronous waves are communicating information between two distinct brain regions with two different sets of neurons oscillating together at a specific frequency. The two major theories of how the brain generates the mind are the neuronal connections where electrical signals travel along axons triggering a chemical connection at another neuron’s dendrite ( see post Connectome) and electrical brain waves, which oscillate together at specific frequencies ( see post Brain Oscillations ). Both of these mechanisms occur simultaneously, so, perhaps they are complementary and perform different functions. Another theory of mind is that it consists of information, possibly in the form of electromagnetic energy, which would encompass all forms of electricity in the brain. Perhaps the neuronal synaptic connections are involved in computation by summing the inputs in the network of connections arriving at the dendrite. Perhaps the oscillating brain waves are binding together information from specific regions. Both utilize electricity in different ways. In fact, there are many different sources of electricity in the brain."

"text": "\"5.1 INTRODUCTIONThe focus of this book is primarily the electric activity of nerve and muscle and the extracellular electric and magnetic fields that they generate. It is possible to undertake such a study without considering the functional role of nerve and muscle in physiology. But without some life science background, the reader's evaluation of electrophysiological signals would necessarily be handicapped. For that reason, we have included an overview, with appropriate terminology, of relevant topics in physiology. This chapter is therefore devoted to a survey of the organization of the nervous system and its main components. It is hoped that the reader will find it helpful for understanding of the physiological function of the excitable tissues discussed in other chapters, and to know what to look for elsewhere. For further study, we suggest the following texts: Jewett and Rayner (1984); Kuffler, Nicholls, and Martin (1984); Nunez (1981); Patton et al. ( 1989); Schmidt (1981); Shepherd (1988); all of which appear in the list of references. A discussion of the nervous system might logically begin with sensory cells located at the periphery of the body. These cells initiate and conduct signals to the brain and provide various sensory inputs such as vision, hearing, posture, and so on."

"text": "New Type of Neuroplasticity Involving Changes in Neurotransmitters May 27, 2013A dogma from a generation ago taught that each neuron produced one neurotransmitter. It is odd that forty years ago there was already evidence that calcium activity stimulated peripheral sympathetic neurons, which normally release norepinephrine, to switch to release acetylcholine. At that time it was also observed that 80% of early motor neurons in Xenopus laevis embryos were cholinergic but this number was different later without any explanation. There was clearly evidence then for what is now known to be a new type of neuroplasticity involving changes in neurotransmitters. Like many important scientific discoveries, these strange facts were ignored because they were not consistent with the dogma. In recent years it has become clear that most neurons can make more than one neurotransmitter, as well as manufacturing and secreting many other important factors that modulate the transmission of information. What has not been accepted until now, however, is that an entirely new type of neuroplasticity with changing neurotransmitters has been discovered. This could be a very fundamental discovery affecting future treatment of neurological diseases. Neuroplasticity Mechanisms Previous posts have detailed a wide variety of types of neuroplasticity that have been recognized in recent years. At first, the major mechanism was thought to be long-term potentiation or long-term depression, whereby a single synapse is strengthened or weakened in the process of memory formation."

The neuron consists of a nerve cell body, including dendrites and axons. Signals from the internal or external environment are received by the neurons and then transmitted as electrical impulses to muscles, glands, the central nervous system or other neurons. Glial Cells The glial cells in nervous tissue are the protective cells. They make up about 90 percent of nervous tissue and surround many of the processes that occur there. Their function is to provide support, nutrition and insulation for the neurons. These cells are smaller than neurons. The glia found within the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord, are called neuroglia. These are important because they help form a protective layer around tissue fibers, plus they increase conductivity of the fibers."

The two major parts of our nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS is made of the brain and spinal cord. The cranial nerves, spinal nerves and ganglia make up the PNS. The cranial nerves connect to the brain. The cranial and spinal nerves contain the axons (fibres) of sensory and motor nerve cells. Nerve cells areas are also known as neurons. Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. They carry information or impulses as electrical signals from one place to another in the body.

"text": "What are the parts of the nervous system? The nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system: The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of the nerve fibers that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body, including the neck and arms, torso, legs, skeletal muscles and internal organs. The brain sends messages through the spinal cord and nerves of the peripheral nervous system to control the movement of the muscles and the function of internal organs. The basic working unit of the nervous system is a cell called a neuron. The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons. A neuron consists of a cell body containing the nucleus, and special extensions called axons (pronounced AK-sonz) and dendrites (pronounced DEN-drahytz ). Neurons communicate with each other using axons and dendrites. When a neuron receives a message from another neuron, it sends an electrical signal down the length of its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical signal is converted into a chemical signal, and the axon releases chemical messengers called neurotransmitters (pronounced noor-oh-TRANS-mit-erz )."

"text": "A neuroradiologist is a licensed medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing disorders of the nervous system using imaging equipment. A doctor takes x-rays, computerized tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) screens to look for signs of disease and trauma. He or she records and interprets findings from imaging tests to make accurate diagnoses. Since neuroradiologists conduct such complex, delicate procedures, they are required to receive extensive training through four years of medical school and up to nine years of postdoctoral residency and fellowship programs. When doctors and nurses suspect a patient may be suffering from a neurological problem, they contact a neuroradiologist to oversee a series of diagnostic tests. X-rays are commonly performed to analyze the extent of bone and tissue damage from obvious trauma. CT and MRI scans can reveal more detailed depictions of brain and spinal cord disorders. Neuroradiologists utilize their knowledge of anatomy and disease to interpret images and make diagnoses. They communicate findings to neurologists and other specialists and discuss possible courses of treatment. Ad Most standard x-ray, MRI, and CT scans are performed by trained radiology technicians, and their results are interpreted by the neuroradiologist."

A lumbar puncture (LP) or spinal tap may be done to diagnose or treat a condition. For this procedure, your healthcare provider inserts a hollow needle into the space surrounding the spinal column (subarachnoid space) in the lower back to withdraw some cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or inject medicine. CSF is a clear fluid that bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord. It is continuously made and reabsorbed in the brain. CSF is made up of cells, water, proteins, sugars, and other substances that are essential to maintain balance in the nervous system. Why might I need a lumbar puncture? A lumbar puncture may be done for various reasons. The most common reason is to remove a small amount of CSF for testing. This can help in the diagnosis of various disorders."

"text": "Embolic Stroke Symptoms Can Be Diagnosed at Tampa General Hospital Recognizing the symptoms of an embolic stroke is critically important in order to receive timely medical attention. An embolic stroke is a type of stroke that is typically the result of plaque buildup on artery walls. It occurs when a blood clot forms somewhere in the body – most commonly the heart – away from the brain. The clot then moves through the bloodstream and blocks brain arteries. Embolic stroke symptoms are sudden, and usually resemble those of other types of strokes. The symptoms include: Weakness Numbness Paralysis on one side of the body Confusion Dizziness Nausea Vomiting An embolic stroke is an ischemic stroke, a type of stroke categorized by when a buildup of fatty deposits and cholesterol form an obstruction in the blood vessels of the brain, thus hindering blow flow to the brains cells. Approximately 85 percent of strokes are ischemic strokes, and they require specialized and immediate care. Tampa General Hospital, which is a state-designated comprehensive stroke center, has one of the largest neuroscience intensive care units in the country and provides rapid diagnoses, emergency care, and dedicated stroke treatment services. Our team of stroke specialists – which includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, physicians, neuroradiologists, and other medical professionals – offers stroke treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Whereas MRI is used to image various parts of the body-bones and joints, soft tissues, muscles, internal organs, and blood vessels, MRA is specifically intended to show the arteries and veins. MRA enables neuroradiologists to evaluate both healthy and diseased vessels in the brain and neck and to observe the blood flow within them. Neuroradiologists may perform MRA and MRI together as complementary examinations to obtain a more complete view of the blood vessels. What vessels and diseases do neuroradiologists study with MRA? MRA can be used to evaluate most major arteries in the body. Neuroradiologists use MRA to examine the carotid arteries in the neck and the cerebral vessels in the brain. MRA can show their shape, size, location, and orientation. With this information, neuroradiologists can diagnose diseases in these vessels and then determine the best way to treat them."

A cerebral or intracranial aneurysm is an abnormal focal dilation of an artery in the brain that results from a weakening of the inner muscular layer (the intima) of a blood vessel wall. The vessel develops a \"\"blister-like\"\" dilation that can become thin and rupture without warning. The resultant bleeding into the space around the brain is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This kind of hemorrhage can lead to a stroke, coma and/or death. Aneurysms are usually found at the base of the brain just inside the skull, in an area called the subarachnoid space. In fact, 90 percent of SAHs are attributed to ruptured cerebral aneurysms and the two terms are often used synonymously. Aneurysms range in size, from small – about 1/8 inch – to nearly one inch. Aneurysms larger than one inch are called giant aneurysms, pose a particularly high risk and are difficult to treat. The exact mechanisms by which cerebral aneurysms develop, grow and rupture are unknown."

An orthopedic surgeon requires a definition of the limbs affected and the extent of impairment in order to prescribe treatment. Neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists, on the other hand, are more concerned with the cause of the brain damage and descriptors for imposing white and gray matter so as to determine the type of brain injury or brain malformation. They are also concerned with diagnosing the extent and severity level of the child’s Cerebral Palsy. At first, a parent may be concerned with the severity level classification – mild, moderate or severe – in order to better understand the seriousness of the child’s impairment or disability. When meeting with the child’s pediatrician or physical therapist, it is useful to understand the topographical distribution of the impairment – the limbs and the sides of the body affected by brain damage."

This prevents the blood flow from entering the aneurysm. Most elective patients spend 2-3 nights in the hospital and then will go home on light restricted activity for 1-2 months after surgery. There have been considerable advances in open surgery techniques. Many neurosurgeons can now perform mini craniotomies, or eye brow incisions to clip an aneurysm.

Neuroimaging falls into two broad categories: structural imaging and functional imaging. Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to show brain activity under certain psychological states, such as alertness or drowsiness. Positron emission tomography (PET) scans show brain processes by using the sugar glucose in the brain to illustrate where neurons are firing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans use echo waves to discriminate among grey matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid.

If bleeding has occurred, your emergency care team will determine whether the cause is a ruptured aneurysm. If you show symptoms of an unruptured brain aneurysm — such as pain behind the eye, changes in vision or double vision — you will also undergo some tests to identify the offending aneurysm. Diagnostic tests include: Computerized tomography (CT). A CT scan, a specialized X-ray exam, is usually the first test used to determine if you have bleeding in the brain. The test produces images that are 2-D \"\"slices\"\" of the brain.

Call it what you will - chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or its latest, Institute of Medicine-sanctioned designation, systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID). It's very real, affecting between 1 million and 4 million people in the United States alone, according to Stanford infectious-disease sleuth Jose Montoya, MD, who has closely followed more than 200 SEID patients for several years and done extensive testing on these patients in an effort to find out what's causing their condition. Different authorities have quoted different numbers regarding those with SEID. The name-calling and number-assigning squishiness stems from the fact that beyond its chief defining symptom - overwhelming, unremitting exhaustion lasting for six months or longer - it's tough to pin down. Additional symptoms can range from joint and muscle pain, incapacitating headaches or food intolerance to sore throat, lymph-node enlargement, gastrointestinal problems, abnormal blood-pressure or hypersensitivity to light, noise or other sensations. Research into the hows and whys of SEID has been plagued by the inability to establish any characteristic biochemical or neuroanatomical underpinnings of the disorder. Although many viral suspects have been interrogated, no accused microbial culprit has been indicted. To this day, there are no valid laboratory tests for diagnosing SEID. But a burst of insight into SEID's physiological substrate came only months ago when Stanford neuroradiologist Mike Zeineh, MD, Ph D, working with patients from Montoya's registry, found that they shared a pattern of white-matter loss in specific parts of the brain."

Typical costs: For patients not covered by health insurance, a laminectomy, typically used to treat spinal stenosis [ 1] , a narrowing of the spine that occurs mostly in people over 50, typically costs $50,000 to $90,000. For patients not covered by health insurance, spinal fusion, typically used to treat conditions such as a slipped vertebra, fractured vertebra or other spinal instability, typically costs $80,000 to $150,000 or more; a surgery in which high-end titanium implants are used instead typically will fall on the higher end. Back surgery is covered by most health insurance plans if ordered by a doctor. According to e Spine.com [ 2] , the website of a Los Angeles back surgeon, most insurance plans will cover spinal surgery. Medicare generally covers back surgery. For patients covered by insurance, assuming the deductible has been met, typical out-of-pocket costs would consist of coinsurance of between 10 and 40 percent of the procedure, for a total of $200 to $2,000 or more, up to the yearly out-of-pocket maximum.

"text": "Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm: The Definitive Cure for a Disabling Disease Kristin Jones, M. D. Stephen j. Haines, m. D. University of Minnesota Department of Neurosurgery Minneapolis, Minnesota What is hemifacial spasm? Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neurological disorder in which muscles of one side of the face intermittently involuntarily contract, causing uncontrollable contortion of the face. HFS typically begins in the muscle surrounding the eye and can spread to involve other muscles on the same side of the face. Spasms can worsen over time in both frequency and severity, leading to nearly constant severe disfigurement with a grimacing expression. HFS can worsen in times of stress and fatigue, increasing the burden of anxiety on those who suffer from the disorder. Hemifacial spasm is restricted to one side of the face. It is extremely unusual for a person to have hemifacial spasm on both sides of the face and in these cases the spasm never starts on both sides of the face at the same time. What causes hemifacial spasm? HFS is caused by hyperactivity of cranial nerve VII, aka the facial nerve, which originates in the brainstem and controls muscles of facial expression. The most common cause of HFS is irritation of the facial nerve from compression by an adjacent artery or vein."

However, neurosurgeons are medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders of the entire nervous system – brain, spinal cord, skull and the spine (bony vertebral column. Of course, they operate on the brain, but they actually spend nearly 70 percent of their time helping patients with spine and peripheral nerve problems, providing surgical and nonsurgical care. Do I need surgery if I am being referred to a neurosurgeon? Not necessarily. Your referring physician most likely believes that you have a disease or disorder which would benefit from diagnoses and treatment by a neurosurgeon. The decision whether or not to recommend surgery is a complex one best handled by your neurosurgeon and his team. What is the difference between an orthopedic surgeon and a neurosurgeon? Each of these surgical specialists has their own areas of expertise and their skill and expertise overlap in the area of spinal surgery."

"text": "Treatment for Meningiomas The treatment for a meningioma at the Johns Hopkins Meningioma Center will depend on many factors, including: The location of the brain tumor Whether the meningioma is benign or malignant The patient’s general health and preferences regarding potential treatment options Surgery is the most common treatment for a meningioma. If a meningioma is benign and in a part of the brain where neurosurgeons can safely completely remove it, surgery is likely to be the only treatment needed. For some, total resection surgery is all that is needed for treatment, followed by periodic imaging to monitor any recurrence of a tumor. Doctors may use radiation therapy after surgery for the most malignant meningiomas or when the neurosurgeon cannot completely remove the meningioma. Radiation therapy is also used to treat meningiomas in locations where surgery is not safe. For a small meningioma that does not cause any significant signs or symptoms, monitoring the tumor without any immediate treatment, called observation, may be an option. If the meningioma does not grow further, the patient may never need treatment. Treatments for meningioma Observation Observation means seeing a neurosurgeon and having imaging tests done periodically. There are cases in which the meningioma is found incidentally and is causing no symptoms, and the neurosurgeon may recommend watchful monitoring or observation. Treatment may be necessary later, for example, if the tumor grows or symptoms develop or worsen."

QUICK FACTS: Chiari Malformation 1-Page Fact Sheet (PDF) (Updated 4/2016)What is Chiari? A Chiari malformation (CM) is a structural defect in the area of the brain responsible for controlling balance i.e., the cerebellum. Specifically, when a portion of the cerebellum, known as the cerebellar tonsils, is situated under the funnel shaped opening to the spinal canal (i.e. the foramen magnum), it is known as a Chiari malformation. The cerebellar tonsils can interfere with the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the skull and spinal canal. The interference can result in the collection of cerebral spinal fluid in the subarachnoid spaces of the brain and spine. The resulting increase in pressure on the brain and spinal cord from the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid can lead to hydrocephalus which manifests in a wide range of symptoms. By contrast, for people without Chiari, the cerebellum is situated above the foramen magnum and within the base of the skull i.e. the posterior fossa. An abnormality in the shape or size of a part of the skull pushes the cerebellum down resulting in Chiari. The aberration in shape or size of the skull is related to exposure to hazardous substances, infection, illegal drug or alcohol use, genetic mutations or a maternal diet deficient in certain nutrients."

"text": "\"What Skills Do You Need to Become a Neurosurgeon?by Jonathan Lister; Updated September 26, 2017The field of neurosurgery involves not only the brain but also the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems of the body, along with its vascular support structures. A neurosurgeon must have all the skills of a general practicing surgeon, in addition to those needed to successfully diagnose, repair or treat injuries and diseases of these specific areas of the body. Medical Diagnostics According to the Department of Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Georgia, a neurosurgeon is required to develop medical diagnostic skills in reading images taken of a patient's body. This can include diagnosing bone injuries through X-rays and tissue damage via magnetic resonance imaging or through physical inspection of a patient's brain, spine or skull while in surgery. A thorough knowledge of human anatomy is necessary, as are good communication skills when speaking with patients. Surgical Skills A neurosurgeon is required to develop surgical skills to deal with injuries and diseases of the spinal cord, brain, skull and surrounding tissues. At any point, a neurosurgeon could be called upon to perform difficult medical procedures, such as a cranial reconstruction or the removal of an aneurysm before it ruptures. These surgical skills also involve diagnostic surgeries and procedures, such as biopsies of diseased tissues and lumbar punctures to collect spinal fluid. Medical Computers and Technology Surgeries involving the brain and spinal cord have zero margin for error, with even the slightest nick potentially causing irreparable damage. For this reason, a neurosurgeon is required to develop skills working with medical computers that control robotic arms to make precise incisions."

Normally, arteries carry blood containing oxygen from the heart to the brain, and veins carry blood with less oxygen away from the brain and back to the heart. When an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) occurs, a tangle of blood vessels in the brain or on its surface bypasses normal brain tissue and directly diverts blood from the arteries to the veins. How common are brain AVMs? Brain AVMs occur in less than 1 percent of the general population. It’s estimated that about one in 2,000–5,000 people may have an AVM. AVMs are more common in males than in females. Why do brain AVMs occur? We don’t know why AVMs occur."

Although some calculations are involved, it's fairly elementary, so if you're a physicist you probably shouldn't be reading it. The article is aimed at DIY enthusiasts, householders, and, perhaps, electricians, who have an understanding of the practical skills involved in electrical wiring, and want to know more about the basic theory. An understanding of this theory is important if one wishes to tackle more tricky wiring applications safely. For example, also on this site is an article on cable and breaker selection for demanding wiring applications, but that won't make much sense if you don't know, for example, what Ohm's law is. You can be an electrician without knowing much about electricity. It seems odd, but it's true. But if you do know the principles, you can do safe and practical work without memorizing a whole heap of regulations, because they're mostly derived from standard principles anyway. The key features of electricity are voltage, current, resistance, power, and frequency . Current An electrical current is the flow of electricity around an electrical circuit."

Currently our home is 100 amp service and the POCO will be putting in 200 amp service feeders underground. POCO is doing all work UP TO meter can and I am doing the rest. Current house set-up is 100 amp service from meter can to 100 amp disconnect, from disconnect to 100 amp main panel about 25' away. There are also no ground rods on this house. Home is grounded from main panel to water pipe. I am wanting to just leave all the 100 amp stuff just the way it is. I am not ready at this time to switch the panel and everything over to 200 amp. That means that I would have feeders only rated at 100 amps (#2AL) coming out of the 200 amp meter can going to my 100 amp disconnect. Is this allowed?"

Even worse, as @Tester101 points out, if the neutral ever has a fault, everything will continue to work but you'll have all the current on the ground, which also means that you can now be electrocuted by touching the panel chassis, for example. The ground and neutral must be bonded only at one place (in the main panel) to avoid this. Subpanel main breaker A main breaker on a sub-panel is not necessary because this is in the same building (if you are in a different building then NEC 225.31, 225.32, 225.33 apply). That said, having a main breaker in the sub-panel is also acceptable. For whatever reason (economy of scale, I guess) \"\"main\"\" panels are often sold cheaper. I recently purchased a small 12-breaker panel (which included a main breaker and a couple 15A breakers) for almost half the price of a similarly-sized sub-panel (which didn't include any breakers)."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Earth Sciences Geophysics Plate Tectonics What is earth fault protection? Flag What is earth fault protection? Answer by Alex146 Confidence votes 45.0KEarth Fault Protection, also known as Protective Earth Ground, also known as the Grounding Conductor, or more simply, just Ground, is a connection ultimately to a system of grounding rods that are driven into the earth. Typically, that ground connection starts at the utility power pole, where the neutral of the distribution transformer is grounded. Neutral, also known as the Ground ed Conductor (as opposed to the Ground ing Conductor) is one of the conductors that transfer power to the load. It is grounded so that the other conductors, known as Hot, are never more than their specified voltage above ground, and also so that faults can trip the protective device (breaker or fuse) in the distribution panel. Normally, Ground is connected to the enclosure of the load, such as the casing of a motor. If an insulation failure or other fault in the motor were to result in a short circuit to the casing, there would be a current path to ground, preventing the casing from become an electrocution hazard, and also ensuring that high current flows through the protective device, tripping it. Sometimes, a fault to ground is not enough to trip the protective device, but it is enough to electrocute someone. The modern Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) breaker prevents this by comparing current on Hot against current on Neutral."

Friction charging is a very common method of charging an object. However, it is not the only process by which objects become charged. In this section of Lesson 2, the charging by induction method will be discussed. Induction charging is a method used to charge an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object. An understanding of charging by induction requires an understanding of the nature of a conductor and an understanding of the polarization process. If you are not already comfortable with these topics, you might want to familiarize yourself them prior to reading further.

Throw in Bonding, Grounding and Lightning protection and people get so confused it becomes a real muddle. To separate the issues and understand what the connection is, where it is, and why it is, you first need to start with some definitions. You also need to think about these as separate systems that just happen to be connected at one and only one point on the boat. Also: ABYC and other authorities such as ISO, make a distinction between the term Ground and the term Grounding . In Europe and other parts of the world this may be called Earth and Earthing .

"text": "Your Business Wye Does It Matter? Share By Richard P. Bingham Published In April 2006When setting out to monitor any power system, it is very important to determine what type of wiring configuration is used before making the connections. The primary and secondary sides of transformers are often different wiring configurations, as can be the loads from the source. This affects not only how you would connect the voltage and current probes, but also what you will see in the data. Despite claims by some instrument vendors, the correct power (watts) data cannot always be created later from the RMS values of incorrectly connected voltage leads and current probes, and definitely not without the waveforms saved, which would require virtually infinite memory capacity. Poly-phase circuits are often three-phase circuits in most industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems with wye and delta the most common. Loads in a wye circuits can be connected line-to-neutral as well as line-to-line, which can make the phase power flow calculations a bit confusing. Most single-family residential dwellings have a configuration called “split phase,” which is really just a single-phase of a three-phase circuit with a site-created midpoint—the notorious neutral connection. Checking for balanced current flow is easier here, as half of the residential load should be fed off one of these created single phase circuits, and the rest off the other, being 180 degrees apart from each other in phase, though there also are some loads that do span across circuits. Failure to keep the load current reasonably balanced on the two single-phase circuits can actually “move” the neutral point, especially if the impedance of such to ground isn’t small enough."

When you connect between two hot wires you get 220V. If you connect between the common and a hot wire you get 110V. Mesab123 · 1 decade ago0 6 1 comment Electricians sometimes call the neutral common because at the service entrance, all the neutral wires go to a common buss, whereas each hot leg connects to its own distribution breaker. However the term common actually refers to drawings of electrical circuits. The common or \"\"chassis\"\" return path is not drawn as a wire back to the source. This simplifies the drawing by eleminating a lot of clutter. In actual practice, the return path sometimes is not a wire but the metal chassis of the radio or the automoble, or in electronics, the \"\"ground plane\"\" of the printed circuit. The symbol used on diagrams for common is different than for safety ground, and rarely is it connected to the service neutral wire. The safety ground is not an electrical part of the aparatus, normally just a connection made to the exterior metal parts to prevent them from accidental electrical energization. Any current passing through the ground connection is a serious fault and a dangerous condition."

The solvent in aqueous solutions is water, which makes up about 70% of the mass of the human body and is essential for life. Many of the chemical reactions that keep us alive depend on the interaction of water molecules with dissolved compounds. Moreover, as we will discuss in Chapter 5 \"\"Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions\"\", the presence of large amounts of water on Earth’s surface helps maintain its surface temperature in a range suitable for life. In this section, we describe some of the interactions of water with various substances and introduce you to the characteristics of aqueous solutions. Polar Substances As shown in Figure 4.1 \"\"The Polar Nature of Water\"\", the individual water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom in a bent (V-shaped) structure. As is typical of group 16 elements, the oxygen atom in each O–H covalent bond attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atom does. ( For more information on periodic table groups and covalent bonding, see Chapter 2 \"\"Molecules, Ions, and Chemical Formulas\"\" and Chapter 7 \"\"The Periodic Table and Periodic Trends\"\" .)

( a) Chemical reaction of iron nail with copper sulphate solution in water. THEORY Iron displaces copper ions from an aqueous solution of copper sulphate. It is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal. Iron is placed above copper in the activity series. Elements placed above in this series are more reactive than those placed below them. Thus iron is more reactive than copper. In this reaction, metallic iron is converted into ferrous ion (Fe2+) and cupric ion (Cu2 +) is converted into metallic copper. Fe (s) + Cu 2 + (aq) ⎯→ Fe2+ (aq) + Cu (s). MATERIALS REQUIRED Two test tubes, two iron nails, measuring cylinder (50 m L), laboratory stand with clamp, test tube stand, thread, a piece of sand paper, single bored cork, copper sulphate, distilled water, and dil."

"text": "\"Hydroxyl Ion versus Hydroxyl Radical By: Leo Mc Devitt Posted On April 14th, 2010Home › Health & More Tweet The difference between the Hydroxyl Ion vs. Hydroxyl Radical: One electron There is a big difference between hydroxyl ions and hydroxyl radicals. The hydroxyl ion acts as an antioxidant in the body. It reduces harmful radicals that destroy tissues and DNA, protecting you from premature aging and the development of degenerative diseases. Reduction is one half of a chemical process called the redox (short for Reduction/oxidation) reaction that reduces a radical’s ability to oxidize other particles. The other half of the redox reaction is oxidation. Hydroxyl radicals cause oxidation damage to your tissues and DNA. The hydroxyl ion reduces radicals’ ability to oxidize tissues and DNA. Amazingly enough, the difference between them is just one electron!Water ionizers produce hydroxyl ions not radicals. People mistakenly sometimes refer to the hydroxyl ion as the hydroxyl radical . This is incorrect, the hydroxyl radical is defined as OH (neutral) the hydroxyl ion is defined as OH – (negative)."

"text": "Skills to Develop To understand the basics of voltaic cells To connect voltage from a voltaic cell to underlying REDOX chemistry In any electrochemical process, electrons flow from one chemical substance to another, driven by an oxidation–reduction (redox) reaction. A redox reaction occurs when electrons are transferred from a substance that is oxidized to one that is being reduced. The reductant is the substance that loses electrons and is oxidized in the process; the oxidant is the species that gains electrons and is reduced in the process. The associated potential energy is determined by the potential difference between the valence electrons in atoms of different elements. Because it is impossible to have a reduction without an oxidation and vice versa, a redox reaction can be described as two half-reactions, one representing the oxidation process and one the reduction process. For the reaction of zinc with bromine, the overall chemical reaction is as follows: (20.3.1) Zn 2The half-reactions are as follows:reduction half-reaction: (20.3.2) 2 2oxidation half-reaction: (20.3.3) Zn 2Each half-reaction is written to show what is actually occurring in the system; Zn is the reductant in this reaction (it loses electrons), and Br 2 is the oxidant (it gains electrons). Adding the two half-reactions gives the overall chemical reaction (Equation ). A redox reaction is balanced when the number of electrons lost by the reductant equals the number of electrons gained by the oxidant. Like any balanced chemical equation, the overall process is electrically neutral; that is, the net charge is the same on both sides of the equation. In any redox reaction, the number of electrons lost by the reductant equals the number of electrons gained by the oxidant."

The equivalence point is marked in red. In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences ), is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

"text": "\"Organic Chemistry An essay at explaining the wide field of organic chemistry and its reactions Contents Introduction Chemical Bonds Organic Compounds Organic Reactions Conclusion References Introduction Organic Chemistry is the study of the compounds of carbon, their reactions and their preparation. It is a fundamental course for the life sciences and chemical engineering. Traditionally, it is presented as a description of a large number of compounds classified by structure, and a few hundred typical reactions that will show how they can be prepared, and how they behave with respect to one another. This constitutes a very large amount of empirical information that is usually committed to memory as a sort of mental handbook, supplemented by actual handbooks, and by laboratory practice with a relatively small number of important or illustrative general reactions. It is unusually difficult to assimilate this mass of information because of the lack of a general pattern (only empirical rules) and heuristic aids. Nevertheless, organic chemists become quite skilled in the use of this gigantic amount of information, and can work wonders in the laboratory with processes of which they have no fundamental understanding, but a wonderful empirical mastery. In fact, a fundamental understanding, were it generally possible, would be of little help to them in their practical endeavors, even if it could be brought to a more functional level. However, a fundamental understanding is intellectually much more satisfying than a collection of empirical or semi-empirical rules. Just what goes on in a chemical reaction is fully known in principle, but predicting what will happen in any particular case is not possible, for more reasons than the difficulties of numerical calculation. Digital computers have brought much computing power to bear, but even this is much too feeble for the complexities of organic chemistry."

Vinegar contains acetic acid. Apart from these, some acids are widely used in the laboratory, like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The bases which are soluble in water are called alkalis. In general, bases are found in household cleaners to clean grease from windows and floors and also in soaps, toothpaste, egg whites, dish washing liquids and household ammonia.

In Chapter 3 \"\"Atoms, Molecules, and Ions\"\", Section 3.5 \"\"Acids\"\", we defined an acid as an ionic compound that contains H + as the cation. This is slightly incorrect, but until additional concepts were developed, a better definition needed to wait. Now we can redefine an acid: an acid is any compound that increases the amount of hydrogen ion (H +) in an aqueous solution. The chemical opposite of an acid is a base. The equivalent definition of a base is that a base is a compound that increases the amount of hydroxide ion (OH −) in an aqueous solution. These original definitions were proposed by Arrhenius (the same person who proposed ion dissociation) in 1884, so they are referred to as the Arrhenius definition of an acid and a base, respectively. You may recognize that, based on the description of a hydrogen atom, an H + ion is a hydrogen atom that has lost its lone electron; that is, H + is simply a proton.

What Are the Different Chemical Formulas? What Does Na Cl Stand For? Full Answer The reactant HCl forms a cation, H+, and an anion, Cl-, in an aqueous solution. Sodium hydroxide forms a cation, Na+, that is associated with OH- on the reactant side. When the reaction proceeds to the product side, Na+ switches the anion it is associated with from OH- to Cl-, thus yielding Na Cl.

In addition to minor or major respiratory problems, molds can also cause a multitude of other problems, including skin rashes, gastrointestinal problems, genitourinary problems, immunosuppression, and hemorrhage. The most common places for indoor mold to take hold are bathrooms and kitchens, behind or under appliances, around windows, in basements, or in any other damp area.

They include the following: Furnace: The heat in an HVAC system is typically supplied by a natural gas or oil fired furnace housed inside a designated closet space, basement, or attic. Contained within the furnace unit is a heat exchanger, the device responsible for the actual warming of the air. Air Conditioner: The air conditioning unit, unlike the furnace, is placed outside of the home and powered by electricity. It uses a compressor and coolant to remove the heat from air, and the hot air is discharged outside."

"text": "How Much Does A New Furnace Cost?+1 Tweet Share The furnace can be the most expensive appliance you will ever buy and with so many different options and price points it can be one the most confusing purchases you will make. It is important to understand all your decision points. Decision Point #1) Do I need a new furnace? There are only 3 reasons to change your current furnace. You have a cracked heat exchanger. If any contractor tells you your heat exchanger is cracked, ask to see it yourself. Visual proof is a must!Your current furnace is old and inefficient. Just because your furnace works does not mean that it is not costing you an arm and leg just to operate it. You need expensive repairs on your current older model furnace. As a general rule if the repair cost is 25% of the cost of a new furnace you should always consider replacement over repair."

Matt Lucky Revolt 2011-07-29Tweet Share For the millions suffering through the recent heat waves blanketing the United States, geothermal heating and cooling systems may be of interest. Although such systems are by no means new, they have experienced tremendous growth recently. Last year alone, 50,000 new systems were built in the United States, increasing the total number of U. S. geothermal heating and cooling installations to 150,000. The frequent and extreme heat waves and cold spells of the past decade have put utilities under greater pressure. Just last week, three regional transmission organizations (RTOs) set all-time highs for daily electricity demand. Unfortunately for electricity consumers, rising electricity demand also translates into rising electricity prices. So what does this have to do with geothermal energy? For home and building owners, geothermal systems offer an opportunity for cleaner and cheaper heating and cooling services. What services can a geothermal heating and cooling system provide?"

My name is John White, In 1969 I went to work for Virginia Electric and Power Co. as an electric heat conversion specialist. My job was to advise, yet convince customers using fossil fuels (gas or oil) to convert to electric heat. Although VEPCO wanted to promote the use of electric heat, the company was much aware that if electric heat was installed in the wrong home it could be financially disastrous to the owner. Therefore, before we would recommend a customer to convert to electric heat I would survey the home and perform a load calculation; the results would indicate the correct size heating and air conditioning system and estimate the operating cost."

July 13, 2016 HVAC Installation Mitsubishi split-unit ductless systems are fantastic heating and cooling solutions for homeowners and businesses in Northeastern Pennsylvania. If you are seriously considering a ductless solution, you probably already know how quiet and efficient these systems are. And, due to the high SEER/HSPF ratings delivering great energy efficiency, these units reduce your energy costs and quickly pay for itself. This article discusses how much ductless air conditioning cost (and heating). With that being said, exactly how much should a homeowner expect to pay for a ductless AC system installed in Pennsylvania whether their home is in Carbon County, Monroe County or any surrounding areas? One factor that plays an important role with the installation costs is the familiarity and experience that a PA HVAC contractor has with ductless technology. Ductless technology is not new however, not all HVAC contractors are well versed with installing and maintaining these systems. Mini-split technology was introduced en mass in the 1970s. However, these systems did not gain the same popularity as they did in Japan during their early years."

While these sciences for managing the internal environments of our living & working areas they all require differing skills, they are however closely related and some individuals have some background information in all of the different aspects. For the same reasons mentioned above, because there is such a diverse range of machinery required, some HVAC companies choose to specialize. Training HVAC tradesmen means keeping current with trends in the marketplace: new technology is creating rapid change in HVAC methods & equipment, while changing levels of demand and constantly evolving environmental issues are also driving changes in the industry. Graduates from todays HVAC training courses must have current knowledge on such situations as proper handling of CFCs and other refrigerants, the potential health issues with air-cons and air quality problems, energy efficient fires, air exchangers and other apps, alongside on site safety concerns.

"text": "What does the EPA R-22 Phase-Out Mean to the HVAC Industry? Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Money Saving and Energy Refrigerant is the heart of any machine that uses a cooling cycle, from the first air conditioners invented by Willis Haviland Carrier more than a century ago to contemporary air conditioners and heat pumps. The refrigerant chemicals physically transfer heat out of the home, cooling residents down in the summer; in some systems, this cycle reverses to transfer outdoor heat to the indoor air. Because refrigerants play such a vital role in the HVAC industry, manufacturers have been working to make them cleaner, safer and more efficient for generations. The most significant recent development in the progress of refrigerants is the current EPA R-22 Phase-Out. The Cooling Cycle Every modern air conditioner uses a simple property of matter to transfer heat: the phase change. Liquid substances that evaporate to become gases consume heat in the process; likewise, gases that condense and become liquid release that previously absorbed heat. An air conditioner cools the home by allowing chemicals to evaporate at the indoor coil, pumping them to the outdoor coil and forcing them to condense under intense pressure. This cooling cycle is a fairly efficient process because the chemicals are never “used up” along the way; they merely change phase continuously from liquid to gas and back again. Heat pumps are reversible air conditioners that can run the cooling cycle in either direction."

"text": "\"1 Helpful? Calculating Cooling Loads Part 3 in a series of articles on sizing heating and air conditioning equipment Posted on May 4 2012 by Martin Holladay The sun and high outdoor temperatures lead to external heat gains. Internal heat gains come from people, pets, appliances, and lighting. A few decades ago, residential air conditioning was very rare in colder areas of the U. S., and cooling load calculations were usually unnecessary. These days, however, new U. S. homes routinely include air conditioning equipment, even in Minnesota, so most U. S. builders are faced with the need to calculate cooling loads. In my last two blogs (“How to Perform a Heat-Loss Calculation,” Part 1 and Part 2 ), I discussed the principles behind heat-loss calculations used to size heating equipment. In this blog, I’ll discuss the principles behind cooling-load calculations used to size air-conditioning equipment. Rule-of-thumb sizing Although most building codes require load calculations for heating and cooling equipment installed in new homes, the requirement is widely ignored and rarely enforced. Most HVAC contractors never perform cooling load calculations; instead, they size air conditioners by rules of thumb. The age-old rule of thumb used by most contractors was one ton of cooling equipment for every 400 square feet of conditioned space."

Which one you might go after depends on what you're interested in and how long you're prepared to spend in training. It only takes a few months to become a phlebotomist, but careers in surgery need 14 to 15 years of training. If you're looking for something in between, you might consider becoming a nurse practitioner. Your total training time is six to eight years, but you can take it one step at a time. RN Training Before you can be a nurse practitioner, you need a bachelor's degree in nursing. Many RNs enter the field with a bachelor's degree, and there is a trend in the profession to see it as the best starting point for career-minded nurses. It's also possible to start your career with an associate degree, then upgrade to a bachelor's degree through part-time study after you've begun working and earning an income. In either case, you need to graduate from an accredited program and then pass the National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurses, or NCLEX-RN."

The 2018 Escalade is a decent SUV with an imposing size and a monstrous V8 engine to match. It earns good fuel economy for a luxury large SUV, it has a smooth ride, and its cabin is fitted with first-rate materials. The Escalade is available with an exhaustive list of features, too, ranging from a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot to a 360-degree camera. The Escalade's negatives include a sometimes-touchy infotainment system and less cargo and third-row space than many competitors. Should I Buy the Cadillac Escalade? You should buy the Escalade if you want to tow a trailer while riding in upscale comfort with your family. If you don't need to tow anything, however, a 3-row luxury crossover will likely be a better match for you, since they have smoother rides, nimbler handling, and better fuel economy."

When will the 2017 Iditarod start? It begins with an 11-mile ceremonial start on Saturday, March 4, at 10 a.m. in Anchorage. Mushers and their teams will take off from Fourth Avenue, near where it intersects with D Street. They'll turn onto Cordova Street and drop down the hill to Mulcahy Stadium before snaking their way along city trails and ending their run at the Campbell Airstrip in Far North Bicentennial Park. Two days later, the official race begins in Fairbanks on Monday, March 6, at 11 a.m. If temperatures stay low, teams will start on the frozen Chena River near Pike's Landing. If it warms up and the river ice melts, the race will move to a nearby road."

For sheer passenger space (it can seat up to nine), cargo volume and towing ability, many Americans simply can't forgo what the Yukon and the stretched Yukon XL are serving up. Sure, these beasts don't fit easily into narrow, compact-car parking slots, nor are they going to win any awards for sports-car-like handling or ease of maneuverability. As far as full-size SUVs go, however, GMC has perfected the formula better than anyone, creating a modern family caravan that is safe, comfortable, and unlike the station wagons of yore, capable of tackling the worst winter weather."

"text": "Science Many Wonders (but Few Amenities) on a Legendary Highway By CORNELIA DEAN JULY 23, 2012ROAD TRIP It pays to plan ahead if you're driving the Alaska Highway. When the road opened in 1942, even military trucks did not always survive it. WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory — As a tourism destination, the Alaska (or Alcan) Highway does not have a lot to recommend it — and that is the biggest thing in its favor. If you drive the 1,000 or so miles from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Delta Junction, near Fairbanks, Alaska, you will not see many motels, fast food joints, miniature golf courses, water parks or other hallmarks of North American road trips. What you will see are snow-covered mountains, spruce forests, wildflowers, tundra and eagles, bears, caribou, moose and even the occasional bison grazing along the side of the road. “The Alaska Highway is the legendary road of the north,” Syd Cannings, a zoologist at the Yukon Conservation Data Center, writes in a coming book on the ecosystems the road crosses — among them the Rockies (and the Continental Divide), the Yukon River and the St. Elias Mountains (which include the highest peak in Canada). At its northern end, it enters Beringia, one of the few northern realms untouched for millions of years by glaciers. This was the landscape the ancestors of today’s Native Americans encountered when they crossed the land bridge from Asia in the last ice age. When the road opened in 1942, even military trucks did not always survive it. After World War II it was opened to civilian traffic, only to be closed almost at once when too many vehicles ended up broken down at the side."

For example, when you borrow money to purchase a car, the lender files a lien on the vehicle. If you default on the loan, the lender can take the car back. Once the debt is fully repaid a release of the lien (also known as a discharge) is provided by the lender. A lien registered under the PPSA or RSLA act is a publicly accessible document. Any company or individual can order a search to determine if another company or individual has any liens against themselves. PPSA is not protected by provincial privacy regulations.

The source of the river is located in British Columbia, Canada, from which it proceeds to flow through the Canadian Yukon Territory (itself named after the river). The lower half of the river lies in the U. S. state of Alaska. The river is 3,190 kilometres (1,980 mi) [2] [3] long and empties into the Bering Sea at the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta. The average flow is 6,430 m³/s (227,000 ft³/s). [ 1] The total drainage area is 832,700 km² (321,500 mi²), [1] of which 323,800 km² (126,300 mi²) is in Canada. The total area is more than 25% larger than Texas or Alberta. The longest river in Alaska and Yukon, it was one of the principal means of transportation during the 1896–1903 Klondike Gold Rush. A portion of the river in Yukon—\"\"The Thirty Mile\"\" section, from Lake Laberge to the Teslin River —is a national heritage river and a unit of Klondike Gold Rush International Historical Park. [ 4] [5] Paddle-wheel riverboats continued to ply the river until the 1950s, when the Klondike Highway was completed."

The Marvell single-chip Yukon device integrates the Company's market-leading Alaska ® Gigabit PHY with its proven Gigabit MAC and its complete suite of software drivers. The Marvell Yukon product further extends the Company's leadership in driving cost-effective 10/100/1000 solutions to the desktop and in offering accelerated Gigabit Ethernet deployment. The Yukon product is the first desktop solution in the industry to incorporate advanced cable diagnostics by incorporating Marvell's Virtual Cable Tester™ (VCT) technology. VCT enables IT managers to easily identify cabling issues with pinpoint accuracy, thus significantly reducing network deployment and maintenance costs. In fact with VCT, deploying Gigabit Ethernet is now more cost-effective than deploying Fast Ethernet. The Yukon product is optimized for 32-bit PCI clients, and is the world's first single-chip Gigabit Ethernet PCI product in a 128-pin LQFP package. With the lowest pin count for such a device, the Yukon product minimizes board space, simplifies signal routing and reduces the number of required PCB layers, resulting in the most cost-effective motherboard and low profile NIC implementation on the market today. The Marvell Yukon product delivers the most comprehensive suite of software device drivers, and makes the Yukon product ideal for client applications. As a result of the acquisition of Sys Konnect Gmb H, Marvell is the only merchant silicon provider that supplies a comprehensive suite of software device drivers for all operating system platforms, including Microsoft ® Windows ® 98/Me, NT, 2000, and XP, Linux, SUN ® OS, IBM ® AIX™, Novell Netware, and HP ® -UX."

They can be used as a space heater or cooler, and are sometimes called \"\"reverse-cycle air conditioners\"\". In domestic heating use, an ASHP absorbs heat from outside air and releases it inside the building, as hot air, hot water-filled radiators, underfloor heating and/or domestic hot water supply.

The additional tax credit for a child with a disability will remain at $500 for the 2016 taxation year. There is a federal refundable tax credit ( non-refundable for 2014 and earlier years) available to individuals for registration and membership costs of up to $500 per child ($1,000 for 2014/15, $500 for 2007 to 2013 taxation years), not indexed for inflation. A refundable tax credit is available even if no income tax has been paid - if it exceeds taxes payable, it will be refunded to the taxpayer. This tax credit has been available since the 2007 taxation year. This tax credit is claimed on the personal tax return. On October 9, 2014, the federal government announced in a news release that the amount that can be claimed under this credit for 2014 and subsequent years is doubled to $1,000 per child, and that the credit is refundable effective for the 2015 and subsequent taxation years. See above for change re 2016. The tax credit is available for registration and membership costs paid in the taxation year, for prescribed programs of physical activity for their children who are, at the beginning of the taxation yearunder 16 years of age, orunder 18 for a child with a disability (i.e., when any person is able to claim a disability amount tax credit for the child on line 318 of the federal tax return)The tax credit is calculated using the lowest tax rate of 15%, so the maximum tax credit per child for 2016 is $75 ($150 for 2014/15, $75 for earlier years). An additional tax credit is available to an individual for a child with a disability ."

A nissen fundoplication is a surgery for gerd or acid reflux. It is usually performed laparoscopically. The main components of the surgery are repair of a hiatal hernia, if present, followed by wrapping of the upper part of the stomach (the fundus) around the esophagus. This repairs the valve between the esophagus and stomach and prevents reflux.

Nissen fundoplication is a commonly performed operation to prevent/decrease significant gastroesophageal reflux. The top (fundus) of the stomach is fully wrapped around the bottom of the swallowing tube (esophagus) in the abdomen to make a better valve there. It can be performed as an open operation via upper midline or left subcostal incision, or laparoscopically with 4 to 5 small trocar wounds ."

In GERD, it is usually performed when medical therapy has failed; but, with a Type II (paraesophageal) hiatus hernia, it is the first-line procedure. The Nissen fundoplication is total (360°), but partial fundoplications known as Thal (270° anterior), Belsey (270° anterior transthoracic), Dor (anterior 180–200°), Lind (300° posterior), and Toupet fundoplications (posterior 270°) are alternative procedures with somewhat different indications and outcomes.

This is thought to occur from absence of the myenteric neural plexus. The principal presenting symptoms include dysphagia and chest pain. The classic diagnostic presentation is a “bird’s beak” deformity on upper gastrointestinal study. Upper endoscopy and manometry are usually performed in the diagnostic work up, the later indicating a lack of normal peristalsis and incomplete LES relaxation. The treatment options include botulinum, bougie dilation, and laparoscopic Heller myotomy. Of these, the laparoscopic Heller myotomy offers 77-100% resolution of symptoms at 5 years, and 75% at 15 years. It carrie a 6.3% risk of complications and 0.1% risk of mortality.

"text": "Nissen Fundoplication: What to Expect at Home Your Recovery You may be sore and have some pain in your belly for several weeks after surgery. If you had laparoscopic surgery, you also may have pain near your shoulder for a day or two after surgery. It may be hard for you to swallow for up to 6 weeks after the surgery. You may also have cramping in your belly, feel bloated, or pass more gas than before. When you burp, you may not get as much relief as you did before the surgery. The cramping and bloating usually go away in 2 to 3 months, but you may continue to pass more gas for a long time. Because the surgery makes your stomach a little smaller, you may get full more quickly when you eat. In 2 to 3 months, the stomach adjusts and you will be able to eat your usual amounts of food. How quickly you recover depends on whether you had a laparoscopic or open surgery. After laparoscopic surgery, most people can go back to work or their normal routine in about 2 to 3 weeks, depending on their work."

"text": "Barrett’s Esophagus Causes Risk factors Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Complications Outlook What is Barrett’s esophagus Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the cells that make up your esophagus begin to look like the cells that make up your intestines. This often happens when cells are damaged by exposure to acid from the stomach. This condition often develops after years of experiencing gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). In some cases, Barrett’s esophagus can develop into esophageal cancer. Causes What causes Barrett’s esophagus The exact cause of Barrett’s esophagus is not yet known. However, the condition is most often seen in people with GERD. GERD occurs when the muscles at the bottom of the esophagus do not work properly. The weakened muscles won’t prevent food and acid from coming back up into the esophagus. It’s believed that the cells in the esophagus can become abnormal with long-term exposure to stomach acid. Barrett’s esophagus can develop without GERD, but patients with GERD are 3 to 5 times more likely to develop Barrett’s esophagus."

Although “heartburn” is often used to describe a variety of digestive problems, in medical terms, it is actually a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease. In this condition, stomach acids reflux or “back up” from the stomach into the esophagus. Heartburn is described as a harsh, burning sensation in the area in between your ribs or just below your neck. The feeling may radiate through the chest and into the throat and neck. Many adults in the United States experience this uncomfortable, burning sensation at least once a month. Other symptoms may also include vomiting or regurgitation, difficulty swallowing and chronic coughing or wheezing. What Causes GERD? When you eat, food travels from your mouth to your stomach through a tube called the esophagus."

"text": "Nissen Fundoplication Give Us a Call For more information about Nissen fundoplication procedures at MUSC, call: Mary Johnson, RN (843) 876-3090 [email protected] Nissen fundoplication, also referred to as a Lap Nissen, is a laparoscopic procedure performed for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Many patients with reflux can be treated with medicines to decrease acid production in the stomach. This will minimize the damage to the esophagus from acid refluxed up from the stomach, and allow the esophagus to heal. However some patients continue to have severe symptoms of either regurgitation or incomplete healing of their esophagus despite high doses of medical therapy. These patients should consider surgery as another option. The problem lies at the junction of the esophagus and stomach where a muscular value (sphincter) should prevent acid from flowing upwards. If this sphincter mechanism fails, acid is free to reflux up into the esophagus causing damage. Surgery basically augments this lower esophageal sphincter by wrapping a portion of the stomach known as the fundus around the lower esophageal sphincter. If performed properly, this procedure will prevent further reflux with minimal side effects, and eliminate the need for long term medical therapy. Prior to undergoing such a procedure the patients require several investigations such as upper endoscopy and a barium swallow x-ray."

Recently i have been going trough a myriad of symptoms, that seem chest/heart/lung related, however the only thing doctors ever managed to diagnose was GERD. I suffer from constant shortness of breath, from the moment i get up untill i go sleep. My oxygen levels have been measured a few times and they are always at 100% so i don't really seem to have airflow problems. Can GERD or acid in general cause this type of constant shortness of breath? Other symptoms are sometimes burning pain in the middle of chest and pain there in general and sometimes it even seems to \"\"cramp\"\", like the pipe my food goes down my throat would constrict or something ,feels really weird. Also palpitations. My chest feels somehow \"\"tight\"\"."

"text": "\"GERD In-Depth Report Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which acids from the stomach flow back up into the esophagus (an action called reflux ). Reflux occurs if the muscular actions in the esophagus or other protective mechanisms fail. The hallmark symptoms of GERD are: Heartburn: a burning sensation in the chest and throat. Regurgitation: a sensation of acid backed up in the esophagus. Although acid is a primary factor in damage caused by GERD, other products of the digestive tract, including pepsin and bile, can also be harmful. Heartburn is a condition in which the acidic stomach contents back up into the esophagus, causing pain in the chest area. This reflux usually occurs because the sphincter muscle between the esophagus and stomach is weakened. Remaining upright by standing or sitting up after eating a meal can help reduce the reflux that causes heartburn. Continuous irritation of the esophagus lining, as in gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a risk factor for developing esophageal cancer. The Esophagus The esophagus, commonly called the food pipe, is a narrow muscular tube about nine-and-a-half inches long."

This diet may also be used for other gastrointestinal surgeries, such as Heller myotomy and repair of achalasia. The diet will help control diarrhea, excess gas and swallowing problems, which may occur after this type of surgery. Keeping Your Stomach from Stretching Eat small, frequent meals (six to eight per day). This will help you consume the majority of the nutrients you need without causing your stomach to feel full or distended. Drinking large amounts of fluids with meals can stretch your stomach. You may drink fluids between meals as often as you like, but limit fluids to 1/2 cup (4 fluid ounces) with meals and one cup (8 fluid ounces) with snacks. Sit upright while eating and stay upright for 30 minutes after each meal. Gravity can help food move through your digestive tract. Do not lie down after eating."

GERD is a condition that causes food or liquid to come up from your stomach into your esophagus (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach). Now that you're going home, be sure to follow your surgeon's instructions on how to take care of yourself. When You're in the Hospital If you had a hiatal hernia, it was repaired. A hiatal hernia develops when the natural opening in your diaphragm is too large. Your diaphragm is the muscle layer between your chest and belly. Your stomach may bulge through this large hole into your chest. This bulging is called a hiatal hernia. It may make GERD symptoms worse. Your surgeon also wrapped the upper part of your stomach around the end of your esophagus to create pressure at the end of your esophagus."

This condition develops when stomach acid travels up into your throat. Although you may experience \"\"heartburn\"\" or \"\"indigestion\"\", many of our patients do not have these complaints. Some of the more common symptoms seen in our patients include:sensation of drainage down the back of the throat or excessive mucusfeeling of something caught in the throat (sometimes a tickling or burning sensation)throat clearingchronic coughpost-nasal dripsore throathoarsenessdifficulty swallowingprolonged vocal warm-up (for singers)loss of the high end of the vocal range DIAGNOSIS OF LPR: Most often, your doctor can diagnose LPR by examining your throat and vocal cords with a rigid or flexible telescope. The voice box is typically red, irritated, and swollen from acid reflux damage. This swelling and inflammation will eventually resolve with medical treatment, although it may take a few months. At other times, you may have to undergo a dual-channel p H probe test to diagnose your condition. This involves placing a small tube (catheter) through your nose and down into your swallowing passage (esophagus). The catheter is worn for a 24-hour period and measures the amount of acid that refluxes into your throat. This test is not often necessary, but can provide critical information in certain cases."

"text": "How the Gastric Sleeve Operation Works*The primary means by which the Gastric Sleeve operation works is by removing the storage capacity of the stomach. Because of this the patient has a subjective feeling of fullness with a much smaller amount of food. This means that he/she can more easily control his/her hunger and stop eating sooner. * The new capacity of the narrower stomach is hard to measure but likely is between 4 and 8 ounces. Several studies on the amount of time it takes the new stomach to empty are somewhat in conflict, and therefore, the stomach transit time is of doubtful importance. A slower transit time would improve the feeing of fullness (satiety), but a faster transit time could help generate several intestinal hormones that have a negative affect on hunger, specifically PYY and PIP. These are generated in the duodenum – the first part of the small intestine – and their action is not yet well understood. One intestinal hormone shown to be favorably affected by the gastric sleeve operation is Ghrelin. This is produced in the part of the stomach that is removed, and therefore, drops to a low level in the bloodstream after the operation. Ghrelin is important for how the brain perceives hunger, and low levels cause the patient to be less hungry – turning down the drive to take in too many calories."

This opening is usually adequate for passage of the esophagus and nothing else. However, patients that have a hiatal hernia have an enlarged opening. There are four different types of hiatal hernias described. The sliding hernia is the most common of the four representing more than eighty-percent of all hiatal hernias. The lower esophageal sphincter- the high pressure zone near the junction of the stomach and esophagus- fails and allows stomach contents to reflux into the esophagus. Symptoms: The symptoms associated with hiatal hernia are variable but generally include: Heartburn – 30 – 60 minutes after eating Regurgitation – worsened with lying flat Excessive belching Aspiration – stomach contents refluxed into the airway Asthma – chronic result of aspiration Chest pain – burning mid-chest pain Difficulty swallowing Pain with swallowing Bleeding Stomach twisting and perforation Obstruction Diagnosis: Several studies are helpful to your doctor in making the diagnosis of hiatal hernia including: Chest X-ray: Air fluid level in the chest Esophagram: Assess the function of the esophagus Identify structural abnormalities (twisting of the stomach)Reveal associated problems (e.g. aspiration, poor gastric emptying)Upper endoscopy: Identify damage caused by reflux (e.g. Esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, malignancy)Biopsy esophagus for evaluation of malignancy Esophageal manometry: Assess the function of the LESAssess the wave-like motion (propulsive function) of the esophagus Surgery: Laparoscopic Cruroplasty and Nissen fundoplication is the procedure of choice for repair of a hiatal hernia. Patients that have paraesophageal hernia which allows the fundus to be displaced into the chest above the GE junction or patients with other abdominal organs (e.g. spleen, colon, liver) displaced into the chest should be repaired urgently. Repair will help prevent complications such as bleeding, intestinal disruption, strangulation and the like. Elective repair is recommended only for patients that are asymptomatic and have a sliding hernia."

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_lease\nNet lease",
"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In the field of commercial real estate, especially in the United States, a net lease requires the tenant to pay, in addition to rent, some or all of the property expenses that normally would be paid by the property owner (known as the \"\"landlord\"\" or \"\"lessor\"\"). [ 1] These include expenses such as property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repair, and operations, utilities, and other items. [ 2] [1] These expenses are often categorized into the \"\"three nets\"\": property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In US parlance, a lease where all three of these expenses are paid by the tenant is known as a triple net lease, NNN Lease, or triple-N for short and sometimes written NNN. The term \"\"net lease\"\" is distinguished from the term \"\" gross lease \"\". In a net lease, the property owner receives the rent \"\"net\"\" after the expenses that are to be passed through to tenants are paid. In a gross lease, the tenant pays a gross amount of rent, which the landlord can use to pay expenses or in any other way as the landlord sees fit. Gross leases typically have higher rent charges to recuperate some of these expenses in the rent line, as opposed to doing so through a net arrangement. The precise items that are to be paid by the tenant are usually specified in a written lease. For properties that are leased by more than one tenant, such as a shopping center, the expenses that are passed on to the tenants are usually pro-rated among the tenants based on the size (square footage) of the area occupied by each tenant."

As DC continues to see re-gentrification occurring in neighborhoods throughout the City, more businesses are finding DC to be a great place for employees to work. Redevelopment projects have brought an incredible assortment of restaurants, retailers, and residential options, as well as brand new office buildings.

Chandler, AZView Profile Melissa.... Your question is interesting. I must start with the standard caveat, \"\"commissions are always negotiable\"\". Now I can address the question. Generally, commission rates will be the same for gross office rents as they are for nnn rents. This will range somewhere in the neighborhood of 3% per side on five year leases. A higher amount is often charged for shorter leases. The commission schedule can be presented in several variations but in the end will work out to about that amount for a five-year term. We always hope for more and measure our clients by the opportunity, the quality of the property, the location and the costs of representation to arrive at a negotiated amount. There is often an unfairness in a gross office lease and a nnn lease commissions, in that the owner on an nnn lease, usually wants to pay the commission based on the value base rent and not the pass through costs for nnn."

Click here From The Forums Advice & Opinions Tennant added a 220 in basement without permission 2 replies Child in 1 br apt. 1 reply At some point in most serious real estate investors’ careers, they start to consider commercial properties for the potentially fewer headaches and more responsible tenants. When that time comes, experts say a great introduction to commercial leasing is the triple net lease. Triple net (or NNN) leases are leases which require the tenant (lessee) to pay for net real estate taxes, net building insurance and net maintenance costs, in addition to the base rent and utilities. The fact that the lessee pays for these three net expenses is (clearlly) where the name ‘triple net’ is derived. Triple net leases are most commonly used in retail and single-tenant buildings, e.g. fast food restaurants, pharmacies and banks. Generally they are used for commercial buildings, but can occasionally also be found among single-family dwellings, for example in the case of a daycare facility. To bring this concept to life, let’s flirt with the example of a deli shop."

"text": "\"Women in Business Business 101What is a \"\"Triple Net Lease\"\" in Commercial Real Estate Triple net leases often favor the landlord Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Lahle Wolfe Updated April 02, 2018A triple net lease is a commercial lease in which the tenant is pretty much responsible for paying everything. He pays all or part of the taxes, insurance, and maintenance associated with the use of the property. These fees are paid in addition to the tenant's regular or base monthly rent. This type of arrangement is also known as a \"\"net-net-net\"\" or NNN lease. Why the name? The tenant is typically responsible for paying the net amount of three major expenses in addition to his base rent: insurance, taxes, and maintenance. But this isn't to say that additional rent is limited to these things. The tenant effectively assumes all financial responsibility for operating expenses, both those that stem from his business and those that maintain the building. Disadvantages of Triple Net Leases When you enter into a triple net lease, you're effectively paying the costs of owning a property that you don't in fact own. You'll pay real estate taxes on someone else's real estate."

"text": "\"What is NNN - 1031 Exchange Guide What is a Triple net or NNN lease investment and a 1031 Exchange A triple net lease (Net-Net-Net or NNN) is a lease agreement on a property where the tenant or lessee agrees to pay all of the real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance (the three \"\"Nets\"\") on the property in addition to any normal fees that are expected under the agreement (rent, utilities, etc.). In such a lease, the tenant or lessee is responsible for all costs associated with the repair and maintenance of any common area. This form of lease is most frequently used for commercial freestanding buildings. In a triple-net lease (NNN) example, the tenant pays all the operating expenses, property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums, maintenance and repairs. The landlord gets to collect monthly net rental income just as he or she would with a traditional real estate investment. Such a lease usually extends over the long term, with a financially strong corporate entity guaranteeing a lease anywhere from 10-25 years. NNN’s are typically purchased on a cap rate. A CAP rate is essentially a yield which is determined by dividing the tenant’s annual rent by the purchase price. For example, if Walgreens is paying $325,000 annually and the purchase price is $5,000,000, the CAP rate is 6.50% ($325,000/$5,000,000). Triple net (NNN) example Walgreens is your tenant for a corporate guaranteed 25-year period."

On the other hand, apartments are usually owned by one or more persons that rent out their individual units for profit.

"text": "\"What Is the Average Cost for Retail Space per Square Foot?by Mark Applegate; Updated September 26, 2017Whether considering opening a new business or moving an existing one, the cost of retail space per square-foot is critical in project planning. In a challenging economy, it is often easy to find available space. With supply greatly outpacing demand, the pressure to reduce purchase prices and rents and to be creative in contracts is abnormally high. Determining the average cost can be challenging due to several factors. General Determining Factors There are several critical factors that determine the cost of obtaining retail space whether buying or leasing it. Location is the most critical factor. Locating your business near or on a highway, near highly-trafficked retail stores or establishments or near other places that naturally bring customers near your location increases the average cost. Other critical determining factors are improvements such as customer and employee parking, loading docks and electrical or networking improvements. The motivation of the property owner also plays into the price. Lease Price Leasing a retail location varies dramatically from as little as a few dollars per square-foot to as high as $2,000 or more per square foot on 5th Avenue in New York City."

Exceptions are the in-demand classic or antique cars, which tend to appreciate over time Companies must sometimes report that assets have gained or lost value. What is the Business meaning of Appreciate? In economics, finance, investing, and business in general, the terms appreciate and appreciation mean increasing value, almost always referring to the value of an asset. A company can properly say that its real estate holdings (assets) are appreciating. The firm cannot properly say that its debts (liabilities) are appreciating. Accountants also describe appreciation as an increase in asset value, but they further qualify the definition. In accounting, not all gains in asset value qualify as appreciation. To accountants, appreciation is an increase in asset value that meets several conditions: The new value is above the asset's depreciable cost. Increasing value is due to market or other economic factors, such as increasing demand, or scarcity."

By Steven Silverman, CCIM Tampa Commercial Real Estate It is often a bone of contention between Landlord and Tenant what the annual rate of increase in the lease rate should be on a commercial lease. I have a situation right now where a Letter Of Intent has been presented by a tenant. The landlord wants an annual percentage increase in the lease rate of 3%. The Tenant is demanding a flat lease rate for the entire first term. Then at the end of the first term they would accept a lease rate increase for the second term, which similarly would be fixed for the duration of second lease term. The Tenant believes that not only should there be no increases in during the lease term, they also feel that the landlords request for an annual 3% increase is highway robbery because in the last few years rate of inflation has been much lower than 3%. The tenant’s sentiments were expressed in an email “our finance people don’t agree to spread out the increases annually of over the term of the lease because with the annual increase requested by the Landlord, the lease rate of would be astronomical at the end of our first term and the 2nd n 3rd term of the lease would be unaffordable.

Answers from Eric J. Olson, M. D. Yes, lung nodules can be cancerous, though most lung nodules are noncancerous (benign). Lung nodules — small masses of tissue in the lung — are quite common. They appear as round, white shadows on a chest X-ray or computerized tomography (CT) scan. Lung nodules are usually about 0.2 inch (5 millimeters) to 1.2 inches (30 millimeters) in size. A larger lung nodule, such as one that's 30 millimeters or larger, is more likely to be cancerous than is a smaller lung nodule. If your doctor detects a lung nodule on an imaging test, it's helpful to compare your current imaging scan with a previous one."

What was more worrying was the fact that the CT report also indicated that I have about 3 mediastinal lymph nodes inflamed. I think they are 1.62 cm, 1.62 cm and 1.42 cm. I have not had a cough or any other infection for a long time except for the odd colds. I have been to a respiratory physician who wants me to get a biopsy done although he was quite sure that a 7mm nodule cannot cause this sort of lymph nodes inflammation. I am awaiting a call from him on what the next step to take. I am scared to death that I have advanced lung cancer as I have a wife and a 2 year old. I don't have any other symptoms except a dull on/off right side back pain (which is the reason for abdominal ultrasound and x-ray initially) I have had for about 5 years now.

"text": "Lung Nodules What is it? A lung nodule is defined as a “spot” on the lung that is 3 cm (about 1½ inches) in diameter or less. If an abnormality is seen on an x-ray of the lungs that is larger than 3 cm, it is considered a “lung mass” instead of a nodule. Lung nodules usually need to be at least 1 cm in size before they can be seen on a chest x-ray. How Common? Lung nodules are quite common, and are found on 1 in 500 chest x-rays, and 1 in 100 CT scans of the chest. Approximately 150,000 lung nodules are detected in people in the United States each year. Roughly half of smokers over the age of 50 will have nodules on a CT scan of their chest. What are the Chances That a Lung Nodule is Cancer? Overall, the likelihood that a lung nodule is cancer is 40%, but the risk of a lung nodule being cancerous varies considerably depending on several things."

Chest x-rays are often used to determine the nature of the disease. However, the results of this imaging can cause confusion for sarc patients- your doctor might tell you that the images indicate a certain “stage” of sarcoidosis. What does this mean? Is it like the stages of cancer? Being told you have “stage three” or “stage four” pulmonary sarcoidosis sounds bad- but what does it really mean? Hopefully, your doctor gives you an accurate explanation of what the stages mean. However, too often we hear from patients who are concerned about which stage they have, what it means, or how long until they progress to the next stage. The stages of sarcoidosis should not be viewed in the way that stages of cancer are- they do not indicate progression of the disease. In cancer, staging is a way to indicate the size of the cancer tumors, if it has spread to surrounding tissue, or spread to other organs entirely."

The stage of a cancer describes how much cancer is in the body. It helps determine how serious the cancer is and how best to treat it. Doctors also use a cancer's stage when talking about survival statistics. The earliest stage is stage 0. The other main stages range from I (1) through IV (4). Some of these are divided further using letters or numbers. As a rule, the lower the stage, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means cancer has spread more."

CT lung screening is a noninvasive, painless procedure that uses low-dose X-rays to screen the lungs for cancer in just 30 seconds. A CT lung screening allows the radiologist to look at different levels, or slices, of the lungs using a rotating X-ray beam. It is performed on a multislice spiral computed tomography (CT) scanner and can detect smaller nodules or cancer than standard chest X-rays. A tumor or nodule is a mass of cells that grows on the lungs. It can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). By detecting malignant tumors in an early stage with CT lung screening, the cancer cells can be treated at a time when the cancer still has promising survival rates and is localized to the lungs. Peter J. Julien, MD, chief of Thoracic Imaging, heads our team of imaging physicians, nurses and technologists who specialize in this procedure. Why choose the S.

"text": "What is a Lung Nodule? Types of Nodules, Cancer Characteristics Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet What is a lung nodule? A lung nodule, also known as a pulmonary nodule, is a a round or opaque opaque mass in the lung that is seen in a chest X-ray or thoracic CT scan. It is more accurately defined as a discrete nodule that is equal to or less than 3 centimeters in diameter. Larger opacities are known as growths or masses. Most pulmonary nodules are asymptomatic and are found incidentally on x-ray or CT scan when investigating other conditions. Types of Lung Nodules A lung nodule may be due to a number of causes and are not always cancerous. Benign tumors or granulomas are other fairly common causes of a lung nodule. A malignant tumor, or cancer, is when the genes of the cells becomes damaged and the abnormal cells grow uncontrollably. This rapidly invades and destroys surrounding tissue and can spread via the blood stream or lympathic system to distant sites (metastases)."

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."

A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a single abnormality in the lung that is smaller than 3 cm in diameter. Generally, a pulmonary nodule must grow to at least 1 cm in diameter before it can be seen on a chest X-ray film. A solitary pulmonary nodule is surrounded by normal lung tissue and is not associated with any other abnormality in the lung or nearby lymph nodes (small, bean-shaped structures found throughout the body). Persons with solitary pulmonary nodules usually do not experience symptoms. Solitary pulmonary nodules are usually noticed by chance on a chest X-ray film that has been taken for another reason (referred to as an incidental finding). Solitary pulmonary nodules are one of the most common abnormalities seen on chest X-ray films. Approximately 150,000 cases are detected every year as incidental findings, either on X-ray films or CT scans. Most solitary pulmonary nodules are benign (noncancerous); however, they may represent an early stage of primary lung cancer or may indicate that cancer is metastasizing (spreading) from another part of the body to the lung."

You’ve got admit it really doesn’t sound like a good thing, especially when you know the word nodule means lump. The first thing anyone would think when told they have a lump on their lung is lung cancer. To understand what a noncalcified lung nodule is, you need to have some preliminary information about lung cancer. Lung cancer starts out like most cancers with cells which are abnormal. Instead of dying because their DNA is damaged, they continue to grow on top of one another and they even spread into neighboring tissue. This is how cancer metastasizes or grows. Calcified or noncalcified lung nodules are seen when you have a CT (computed tomography) scan. Calcified nodules are made up of very small bits of calcium and are usually benign or non-cancerous. A noncalcified lung nodule which increases in size may be malignant or cancerous."

"text": "Abstract Full Text Figures References Cited by PDFUntil now, it has been the accepted standard of practice to regard all noncalcified pulmonary nodules as potentially malignant lesions that require close monitoring until proved stable over a period of 2 years ( 1, 2 ). This approach was adopted prior to the widespread use of computed tomography (CT) and was based on the observation that a substantial proportion of noncalcified nodules that were detected at chest radiography turned out to be lung cancers. These nodules were almost all larger than 5 mm in diameter, and most were in the 1–3-cm range. Since the introduction of helical CT in the early 1990s and multi–detector row CT in the late 1990s, the detection of focal rounded pulmonary opacities (“nodules”) as small as 1–2 mm in diameter has become routine. In fact, the majority of smokers who undergo thin-section CT have been found to have small lung nodules, most of which are smaller than 7 mm in diameter ( 3 ). However, the clinical importance of these extremely small nodules differs substantially from that of larger nodules detected on chest radiographs, in that the vast majority are benign. This issue has been highlighted in several recent publications on CT screening for lung cancer, and the positive relationship of lesion size to likelihood of malignancy has been clearly demonstrated ( 4, 5 ). The only current guidelines in the radiology literature for management of small nodules are those that have been developed in the context of lung cancer screening programs ( 6 – 8 ). However, subjects who undergo lung cancer screening in most countries are selected on the basis of age, substantial smoking history, absence of serious comorbid disease, and willingness to participate in all necessary follow-up imaging and intervention. Also, these programs tend to take an aggressive approach to follow-up and early intervention, with a view to achieving the highest possible cure rate while gaining further insight into the behavior and characteristics of small malignant lesions."

With the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial showing a mortality benefit from low dose CT scan in lung cancer, it's not likely that the number CT scans will decrease anytime soon. So what happens to these pure ground-glass nodules are discovered on screening CT scanning? This is the question Chang and colleagues tried to answer in their recent publication. What They Did Single-center, retrospective cohort of patients over nearly ten years undergoing low-dose CT scanning for screening purposes. Patients were included if they had pure GGO lung nodules and were followed for more than two years after the initial scan. Patients with transient or diffuse GGO's were excluded, as were those with a previous history of primary lung cancer or other malignancy. GGO'S were defined by tumor shadow disappearance rate. A change in size was defined as an increase or decrease in the GGO by 2 mm."

About the human karyotype Although the same set of chromosomes is normally present in an each cell of an individual multicellular organism, eukaryotes treated as different species, even closely related ones, often have different sets. Often, when a chromosome from one such form is aligned with an otherwise identical chromosome from another, certain loci do not match. For example, a locus present in one chromosome may be absent or inverted in the other. Likewise, two otherwise identical sets of loci may occupy two different positions on the two chromosomes. Commonly, too, the loci present in a single chromosome will be shared out in blocks into two or more separate chromosomes in another organism. There may also be differences in the number of chromosomes present. Disparities of all these kinds, where the chromosomes have been restructured relative to each other, are called structural differences. When viewed from this structural perspective, the set of chromosomes characteristic of a particular type of organism is called its karyotype, an important term in stabilization theory."

Human beings normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes (a total of 46) Very often embryos will have too many or too few chromosomes. These abnormalities are called aneuploidies. The older a woman is when she becomes pregnant, the greater the chance for aneuploidy and the greater the risk for miscarriage..

"text": "By Norma Erickson and Peter H. Duesberg, Ph DSane Vax.org The title of a paper recently published by M c Cormack et al in Molecular Cytogenetics says it all, ” Individual karyotypes at the origins of cervical carcinomas .” If the findings in this paper are true, a vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) is extremely unlikely to protect against cervical cancer. According to this paper neither genetic predisposition nor HPV infections are necessary for the development of cervical cancer. All cervical cancer cells investigated during the course of this study contained new abnormal karyotypes. The clonality (genetic makeup) of these new abnormal karyotypes indicates the cervical cancers originated with these karyotypes – NOT from a virus. In order to grasp the potential significance of these statements, one must have a basic understanding of karyotypes. Most living things have chromosomes, or units of genetic information, in their cells. The number and appearance of chromosomes varies from one species to another. A karyotype is the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in any given organism. See the graphic representation of the human karyotype to the right."

However, although sequence analysis is interesting by itself and may in fact say a lot about common ancestry, such analysis does not necessarily favor the theory of common descent in many cases. Certain differences between the DNA sequences of various creatures can easily be explained by the mindless naturalistic processes of random mutation and natural selection while other differences cannot be so easily explained. Not all differences are created equal. Some differences are neutral while others are functional. Natural selection is not required to achieve neutral genetic variations. Because of this, neutral variations arise relatively rapidly. Functional variations, depending on the complexity of the functions in question, might take a lot longer to evolve since there are a so many more non-functional, detrimental, or neutral sequences that could evolve when compared to the relatively few beneficial functions available to a given creature in a particular environment."

Which type of genetic disease can be identified from the visual analysis of the number of chromosomes present in a karyotype? The counting and identification of chromosomes in the karyotype of an individual can diagnose aneuploidies, diseases caused by an alteration in the number of chromosomes in relation to the normal number in the species.3. Why, in the preparation of a karyotype analysis, is the use of a substance such as colchicine interesting? Colchicine is a substance that prevents the formation of microtubules and therefore of spindle fibers in cell division.

Each year, about 6,000 babies are born in the United States with Down syndrome, a disorder caused by abnormal cell division that results in an extra chromosome, specifically chromosome 21. The severity of the condition varies, depending on one’s Down syndrome karyotype, which is the organized profile of an individual’s chromosomes. The effects could include physical, developmental and intellectual abnormalities that affect children throughout life. What Are the Karyotypes of Down Syndrome? Each cell in the body normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that come in pairs, with each part coming from one parent. These chromosomes carry your DNA, or the genetic material that contains information which controls your growth, development, function and reproduction. The organized profile of an individual’s chromosomes is known as a karyotype. It gives you a picture of how many chromosomes you have, as well as the structure of each chromosome."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Obstetrics & Gynecology Recurrent Early Pregnancy Loss Updated: Oct 07, 2016Author: John C Petrozza, MD; Chief Editor: Richard Scott Lucidi, MD, FACOG more... Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Early pregnancy loss is defined as the termination of pregnancy before 20 weeks' gestation or with a fetal weight of below 500 g. Genetic causes Most spontaneous miscarriages are caused by an abnormal (aneuploid) karyotype of the embryo. At least 50% of all first-trimester spontaneous abortions (SABs) are cytogenetically abnormal. Diagnosis Perform karyotype of parents with family or personal history of genetic abnormalities Perform karyotype of the abortus in recurrent cases Management For couples who have had an SAB due to a suspected genetic cause, the standard of care is to offer genetic counseling. Although preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) of a removed blastomere for aneuploidy would theoretically increase the likelihood of embryonic implantation, reports in the literature have been conflicting with regard to the efficacy of this technique. However, couples in whom pregnancy loss can be attributed to a balanced translocation may benefit from specific genetic testing by preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Immunologic causes Tests for antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs), signaling the presence of the autoimmune disease antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), have reportedly been positive in 10-20% of women with early pregnancy losses. Three classes of clinically significant APL antibodies have been identified: anticardiolipin (a CL), lupus anticoagulant (LAC), and anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies. Diagnosis Diagnosis of APS requires the presence of at least 1 of the clinical criteria and at least 1 of the laboratory criteria. The clinical criteria include the following: Vascular thrombosis3 or more consecutive unexplained miscarriages At least 1 unexplained death of a morphologically normal fetus at or after 10 weeks' gestation At least 1 premature birth of a morphologically normal neonate at or before 34 weeks' gestation, associated with severe preeclampsia or severe placental insufficiency The laboratory criteria include the following:a CL: Immunoglobulin G (Ig G) and/or immunoglobulin M (Ig M) isotype is present in medium or high titer on 2 or more occasions, 6 or more weeks apart Prolonged phospholipid-dependent coagulation on screening tests Inability to correct the prolonged screening test with normal platelet-poor plasma Successful correction of the prolonged screening test with excess phospholipids Exclusion of other coagulopathies as clinically indicated and heparin Management Treatment options for APS include the following: Subcutaneous heparin Low-dose aspirin Prednisone Immunoglobulins Combinations of these therapies Anatomic causes Anatomic uterine defects can cause obstetric complications, including recurrent pregnancy loss, preterm labor and delivery, and malpresentation. Diagnosis Imaging studies in the diagnosis of uterine defects include the following: Hysteroscopy Hysterosalpingography (HSG)Sonohysterograms Vaginal ultrasonography Management Data from uncontrolled, retrospective reviews have suggested that resection of the uterine septum increases delivery rates, although a prospective, controlled trial did not show that surgical correction of uterine abnormalities benefits pregnancy outcomes."

Every cell in your body has chromosomes. In humans we have 46. Every chromosome in your cells has a matching chromosome. So what you really have is 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes. They're called homologous because they are very similar to each other-they are the same type of chromosome, they have the codes for the same type of information, its just different information (8.13). Your body is the result of the fusion of two gametes. One from each parent. Each of those gametes had 23 chromosomes, so that after the union of those gametes, when you were just a single cell, you had 46 chromosomes. Or, 23 pairs of chromosomes."

In Biology, And Algebra 2 / Trig. I like to swim and skateboard and like to go to my local beach Depending on the type of karyotype, you can tell what type of organism it is, if it has 23 pairs then you would know it is a human because humans have 46 chromosomes, one half from your mom and one half from your dad, making 23 pairs. Another thing you can tell is the organism has any gene disorders, like the 21 trisomy, or having an extra 21 chromosome, and causes down syndrome. And the last thing you can determine is the sex or gender of the organism having 2 X's or XY. Sources: Biology Student4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. The term is also used for the complete set of chromosomes in a species or in an individual organism [1] [2] [3] and for a test that detects this complement or measures the number. Karyotypes describe the chromosome count of an organism and what these chromosomes look like under a light microscope. Attention is paid to their length, the position of the centromeres, banding pattern, any differences between the sex chromosomes, and any other physical characteristics. [ 4] The preparation and study of karyotypes is part of cytogenetics. Karyogram of human male using Giemsa staining The study of whole sets of chromosomes is sometimes known as karyology. The chromosomes are depicted (by rearranging a photomicrograph) in a standard format known as a karyogram or idiogram: in pairs, ordered by size and position of centromere for chromosomes of the same size. The basic number of chromosomes in the somatic cells of an individual or a species is called the somatic number and is designated 2n."

"text": "\"Chromosomes and Cytogenetics Editor (s): Clare O'Connor | Subscribe Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes and their role in heredity. Thus, this topic room is all about chromosomes: chromosome structure and composition, the methods that scientists use to analyze chromosomes, chromosome abnormalities associated with disease, the roles that chromosomes play in sex determination, and changes in chromosomes during evolution. The field of cytogenetics emerged in the early twentieth century, when scientists realized that chromosomes are the physical carriers of genes. As is always the case in science, researchers built on the observations of their fellow investigators to synthesize the chromosome theory of heredity. This groundbreaking theory had its foundations in the detailed observations that cytologists had made about chromosome movements during mitosis and meiosis, which suggested that chromosome behavior could explain Mendel's principles of inheritance. In the early years of cytogenetics, scientists had a difficult time distinguishing individual chromosomes, but over the years, they continued to refine the conditions for preserving and staining chromosomes to the reproducible standard that is now expected in clinical cytogenetics. ( Looking back, it seems incredible that the human chromosome number was not established until 1955.) In today's procedures, metaphase chromosomes are treated with stains that generate distinctive banding patterns, and chromosome pairs are then arranged into a standardized format known as a karyotype. Among the members of a species, karyotypes are remarkably uniform, which has made it possible for cytogeneticists to detect various deviations in chromosome number and structure that are associated with disease states and developmental defects. A normal human karyotype contains 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes."

The one clear message that did flow through all the mass of information he studied, was the effect of temperature on the formation of NO x. \"\"Need is the Mother of Invention\"\" [ edit]In the late 1980s, Health and Environment Authorities in Australia raised concerns about the indoor air quality and the extent that particularly older style unflued gas heaters were contributing to higher than acceptable levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ). Consequently in 1989 the New South Wales Department of School Education initiated an extensive investigation of nitrogen dioxide in schools throughout New South Wales. As an interim measure the Health Authorities advised that a level of 0.3 ppm NO 2 should become the upper limit for classrooms. [ 3] The Australian Gas Association in turn reduced the indoor emission rate of NO 2 for unflued gas heaters from 15 to 5 ng/J and this remains the current limit. [ 4] The New South Wales government, through the Public Works Department, also re-evaluated alternative methods of heating classrooms, to ensure a safe and healthy environment for students."

"text": "\"Air Pump Removal Last updated: February 10, 2002Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 14:33:53 -0400 From: \"\"Robinette, Maj Robbie D.\"\" (Robine [email protected])A while back I asked if anyone could explain the theory behind the RX-7's air pump. I never got an answer from the list but I did run into a book on emission control and it described how it worked. The air pump injects air into the catalytic converter when the RPM is below about 2800 RPM (can't remember exactly what the RPM cutoff is, it's in the shop manual.) Above this RPM the magnetic clutch on the air pump pulley releases because the temperature in the cat is hot enough without the additional air. The injected air works like a bellows in a fire place. It feeds the fire (chemical reaction) and gives the nitrogen oxides (referred to as NO or NOx on emissions tests), hydrocarbons (HC--unburned fuel and oil) and carbon monoxide (CO) plenty of oxygen to combine with to transform the pollutants into carbon dioxide (plant food and greenhouse gas) and water. Without the air pump the cat is less effective at low RPM and excessive HC, NO and CO will be present in the exhaust. While on the subject, has anyone removed/disabled their Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve? I assume some of the racers have. Did you have to modify timing or the air/fuel ratio?_________________Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 01:58:35 -0700 From: Aarroneous ([email protected]) Subject: Re: (rx7) Clatter/grinding sound from 93 air pump> 1."

DEF is a clear, non-toxic, non-flammable, and nonhazardous organic compound consisting of 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionized water that requires no special handling.• DEF may have a slight odor similar to that of household ammonia.• DEF is a high-purity urea solution complying with the Standards of ISO 22241.• DEF is safe to handle.• DEF weighs approximately 9.2 lbs. per gallon. How much DEF will I use? Consumption rates vary but are usually around 2 – 4%of diesel fuel consumed. It can be expected that 1 to 2gallons of DEF fluid will be used for every 50 gallons ofdiesel fuel. See the chart below. How does the SCR process work? The NOX reduction process starts with an engine burning clean Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and producing exhaust that is already much cleaner due to leaner and more complete combustion. Under the control of the vehicle’s onboard computer, precisely metered spray patterns of DEF are injected into the exhaust stream ahead of the SCR converter allowing the exhaust gases and atomized mist of DEF to enter the converter simultaneously."

View repair cost for my car Get a repair estimate for your car Submit What is a catalytic converter? A catalytic converter converts the harmful exhaust gases produced by the engine into less harmful emissions before they leave the vehicle's exhaust system. The catalytic converter looks similar to a muffler. It is typically a stainless steel housing with a ceramic honeycomb inside that is impregnated with platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These elements help clean up harmful exhaust gases that otherwise would be expelled from the tail pipe. It is common for a four-cylinder engine to be equipped with one or two catalytic converters, while six and eight-cylinder engines can have up to four. How does the catalytic converter work?"

It gives fuel economy, responsiveness, power and much less pollution. But newer diesel vehicles also have that sensor. This is used to calculate precisely how much exhaust recirculation (EGR) engine needs at low power so there's minimum amount of NOx/ emission (result of too much fresh air in cylinders) and it also lowers temperatures in cylinders for better economy.142 Views · Answer requested by Daoud Nadal Promoted by Amazon New deals.

"text": "\"FAQ-20Emission testing, emission failures and repairs. The yearly emission test of your car is nothing more than a test to see how much fuel you are sending out the tailpipe that is not being used by your engine. Think of an emission failure as a huge gas leak, because that is exactly what it is. To pass emissions, you must tune your engine to properly consume the gasoline that's being delivered to it and convert it to energy to move the car down the road. The emissions test is an easy way to determine if the right mixture of air and fuel is being delivered. It also can check to see if the ignition system is working ok. As a matter of fact, when trying to fix a driveability problem, most good technicians will take a look at the vehicles tail pipe readings first. These readings will give them direction. When you fail because of high limits of HC or hydrocarbons, it means there is raw fuel that is being sent out the tailpipe because your engine isn't converting the fuel to energy. The raw fuel actually washes the protective layer of oil off moving parts inside your engine and contributes to engine wear which can lead to premature failure."

SCR is a cost effective method of meeting NOx requirements, and the infrastructure to support SCR is already in place. DEF, the only solution needed to make SCR work, is available at various retail and whole sale locations. It can be delivered in various quantities and is less expensive than other NOx reduction systems. Q. How does the SCR system work? A. SCR is the treatment of diesel exhaust that is implicated before the catalytic converter. An SCR system sprays a fine mist of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) upstream of the catalytic converter where it gets vaporized and the decomposes to become ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia is the key element to that aides the SCR catalyst in converting the NOx to harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) bi products. The reduction efficiency of the SCR system is 90% or more."

"text": "\"A catalytic converter (colloquially, \"\"cat\"\" or \"\"catcon\"\") is a device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine. First widely introduced on series-production automobiles in the US market for the 1975 model year to comply with tightening EPA regulations on auto exhaust, catalytic converters are still most commonly used in motor vehicle exhaust systems. Catalytic converters are also used on generator sets, forklifts, mining equipment, trucks, buses, trains, and other engine-equipped machines. A catalytic converter provides an environment for a chemical reaction wherein toxic combustion byproducts are converted to less-toxic gases. The catalytic converter was invented at Trinity College (Connecticut).

This is 14.7 parts Oxygen to 1 part fuel for gasoline (the ratio for Propane, Natural Gas, and Ethanol fuels is slightly different, requiring modified fuel system settings when using those fuels). When there is more oxygen than required, then the system is said to be running lean, and the system is in oxidizing condition. In that case, the converter's two oxidizing reactions (oxidation of CO and hydrocarbons) are favoured, at the expense of the reducing reaction. When there is excessive fuel, then the engine is running rich."

"text": "Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP Sensor)Common signs of manifold absolute pressure sensor problems include excessive fuel consumption, lack of power, and failing an emissions test.by David Smith on January 08, 2016Share Tweet Pin The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for engine load input. The PCM uses this input, as well as others, to calculate the correct amount of fuel to inject into the cylinders. The MAP sensor measures the absolute pressure inside the intake manifold of the engine. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch). When the engine is off, the absolute pressure inside the intake equals atmospheric pressure, so the MAP will indicate about 14.7 psi. At a perfect vacuum, the MAP sensor will read 0 psi. When the engine is running, the downward motion of the pistons create a vacuum inside the intake manifold (For the purposes of engine control, when a technician says vacuum, what they are really saying is pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure). With a running engine, intake manifold vacuum usually runs around 18 - 20 “Hg (inches of mercury). At 20 “Hg, the MAP sensor will indicate about 5 psi. This is because the MAP sensor measures “absolute” pressure, based on a perfect vacuum, rather than atmospheric pressure."

The 6.7-liter PSD is the third all-new heavy duty diesel engine in 7 years and the fourth since production of the 7.3-liter Power Stroke ended in 2002. Its creation can be traced back to the 6.0-liter Power Stroke that Ford introduced for its 2003 Super Duty pickups. Ford and Navistar (International’s parent company) went to battle in court over warranty problems and cost issues related to that engine, which ultimately led to both companies ending their 30-year diesel manufacturing relationship in January. Ford kept the rights to the well-known Power Stroke name that has been associated with Ford diesels since 1994."

Nuclear Chemistry21.2 Nuclear Equations Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify common particles and energies involved in nuclear reactions Write and balance nuclear equations Changes of nuclei that result in changes in their atomic numbers, mass numbers, or energy states are nuclear reactions. To describe a nuclear reaction, we use an equation that identifies the nuclides involved in the reaction, their mass numbers and atomic numbers, and the other particles involved in the reaction. Types of Particles in Nuclear Reactions Many entities can be involved in nuclear reactions. The most common are protons, neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, positrons, and gamma rays, as shown in Figure 1. Protons (, also represented by the symbol) and neutrons () are the constituents of atomic nuclei, and have been described previously. Alpha particles (, also represented by the symbol) are high-energy helium nuclei. Beta particles (, also represented by the symbol) are high-energy electrons, and gamma rays are photons of very high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Positrons (, also represented by the symbol) are positively charged electrons (“anti-electrons”). The subscripts and superscripts are necessary for balancing nuclear equations, but are usually optional in other circumstances."

Consider the kinds of cell reproduction different species need. ANSWER: They need only mitosis to make large numbers of cells such as sperm. They need only meiosis if they produce egg cells. They need both if they are producing animal gametes. A single-celled organism only needs mitosis. They need meiosis if the cells are producing organs such as ovaries. Correct The form of cell division that produces animal gametes is meiosis, not mitosis."

In our studies up to this point, atoms of one element were unable to change into different elements. That is because in all other types of changes we have talked about only the electrons were changing. In these changes, the nucleus, which contains the protons which dictate which element an atom is, is changing. All nuclei with 84 or more protons are radioactive and elements with less than 84 protons have both stable and unstable isotopes. All of these elements can go through nuclear changes and turn into different elements. In natural radioactive decay, three common emissions occur."

A material containing such unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Certain highly excited short-lived nuclear states can decay through neutron emission, or more rarely, proton emission. Radioactive decay is a stochastic (i.e. random) process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory, it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay, [1] [2] [3] regardless of how long the atom has existed.

If you install enough wind or solar power stations you can easily compete with nuclear, but what you have is a difference of scale - wind and solar are generally smaller, but you can have more of them. Nuclear costs more because it is a very complicated and dangerous technology. Coal is also a dangerous technology, but it's not complicated. With nuclear, you've got all the mining and related hazards and then you've got the radioactivity that has to be contained - it's 2 to 3 times more expensive then coal. Nuclear will probably never really be cheap, simply because of the safety costs. However, adding in the cost of greenhouse gas production, changes everything."

"text": "Share on Facebook 0 Share on Twitter 0 Download Chapter PDFAssessing the state of U. S. nuclear weapons capabilities presents several challenges. First, the U. S. has elected to maintain the weapons—based on designs from the 1970s—that were in the stockpile when the Cold War ended rather than develop new weapons. Second, detailed data about the readiness of nuclear forces, their capabilities, and weapon reliability are not publicly available, and this makes analysis difficult. Third, the U. S. nuclear enterprise is comprised of many components, some of which are also involved in supporting conventional missions. For example, bombers do not fly with nuclear weapons today as they routinely did during the Cold War (although they are capable of doing so again if the decision should ever be made to resume this practice). Also, the U. S. National Nuclear Laboratories perform a variety of functions related to nuclear nonproliferation, medical research, and nuclear detection, among many others, as opposed to focusing solely on the nuclear weapons mission. Thus, assessing the extent to which any one piece of the nuclear enterprise is sufficiently funded, focused, and effective with regard to the nuclear mission is problematic. The second important factor is flexibility and resilience of the nuclear weapons complex that underpins the U. S. nuclear deterrent. If the U. S. detects a game-changing nuclear weapons development in another country, the capability of the U. S. nuclear weapons complex to adjust would be of concern. The U. S. does maintain an inactive stockpile that includes near-term hedge warheads that can be put back into operational status within six to 24 months."

The public thinks that the nation does too much to solve world problems, and increasing percentages want the U.

Even as doubts grow about the United States’ geopolitical role, most Americans say the benefits from U. S. participation in the global economy outweigh the risks. And support for closer trade and business ties with other nations stands at its highest point in more than a decade.

I focus here on some essential things known about microtubules, and the cargo-carrying motor proteins that run along them. And I also review some facts about nuclear membranes within cells that must be crossed for intra-cellular signaling and transport. I discuss why microtubules are extremely important and review some of their known roles in aging and age-related disease processes. Some of the basic research described here dates back into the 1990s. And some important findings related to histone epigenetics, mitochondria, and the transport of P53 are absolutely current and could be highly relevant to cancer, to neurological diseases, and to aging. This is a long and complex blog entry. As usual, I highlight the main “take home” points as I see them. In very rough terms, microtubules are like support beams fanning out from the center of a cell through the cytoplasm to the periphery."

Introduction Registered nurses working in Nuclear Medicine have at least 2 years post registration experience and many are highly skilled practitioners in the field. Education Nuclear Medicine Nurses educate patients and their carers in order that they can make informed choices about their investigations and treatment. They educate nursing and medical staff (both on the wards and those visiting nuclear medicine) about basic nuclear medicine principles and procedures and support training with supervised practice. They inform other nuclear medicine staff about nursing care such as assessment of patient’s condition, pain control and comfort. They train staff to recognise emergency situations such as hypoglycaemia, anaphylaxis and problems associated with the critically ill. Clinical Effectiveness Nurses working in Nuclear Medicine are often involved in or instigate audit and research in order to assess quality of care provided and where possible improve the way in which procedures are performed. Also, Nuclear Medicine nurses can be involved in Phase 1 and Phase2 clinical trials. Co-ordinate Nurses may co-ordinate some sessions or clinics to ensure smooth running and continuity of care.

Flag How does nuclear transmutation involve beta particles? Edit Answer by Geo Harvey Confidence votes 33.5KWhen an atom emits a beta particle, it changes the element. This is nuclear transmutation. There are other causes of transmutation in addition to beta decay. These include alpha decay and fission. There are two types of beta particles, positive and negative. For examples in this answer, we can use potassium-40 as the parent nuclide, since it is a rare example of an atom that can emit either. In negative beta decay, a neutron in the atom's nucleus is changed into a proton. This does not change the number of nucleons, but it increases the number of protons, so the daughter atom has an atomic number one higher than what the patent had."

"text": "Nuclear Fission Nuclear Fusion Nuclear Physics Nuclear Energy Comparisons What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?29 Answers Quora User, Absolute Zero Answered Aug 4, 2015In Fission, a big nucleus such as Uranium or Plutonium gets divided into smaller nuclides. A small amount of mass is converted big amounts of energy. In Fusion, smaller nuclides such as Helium or Hydrogen add up to make larger nuclides. Again some amount of mass is converted into high amount of energy. The reason behind such behavior is Binding Energy. Binding energy is that potential energy which is released due to attraction between Neutrons and Protons combinations due to weak nuclear forces (Which work only at very short range but are way more stronger than electromagnetic forces at those ranges) after subtracting the energy consumed in repulsion between Protons due to Electromagnetic forces. More the Binding Energy released, more will be the stability of the atom. Binding Energy released is relatively less for lighter nuclides, reaches its peak for iron atom and then again starts to decrease. The nucleus of Iron is the most stable nucleus. Any nucleus way below in atomic number will tend to go for fusion reaction and nucleus way above in atomic number to Iron will tend to go for fission reaction, if unstable.5.9k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

"text": "What Is A Nuclear Stress Test? By ROBERT BONOW, M. D., CHIEF,DIVISION OF CARDIOLOGY, CO-DIRECTOR,BLUHM CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTENORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITALNovember 14, 2008Email Question: What is a nuclear stress test (Myocardial Perfusion Imaging), and how does it differ from either a medicine or exercise stress Test? Answer: A nuclear stress test, what we call myocardial perfusion imaging is a test that looks at the blood flow to your heart muscle. We do that while you're resting and also with some form of stress, either exercise or sometimes we give a medicine to simulate the effects of exercise. The analogy here would essentially be looking at the blood flow to your heart the way that gas flows to a car engine. You know, you could have a totally healthy engine, but if you have a narrowed fuel line, you may not be able to step on the gas and get the car to accelerate properly. You have enough gas getting to the engine under resting conditions, but when you step on the gas and accelerate, if you have a narrow fuel line, you don't have enough stuff to make the engine go at a faster clip. So the analogy works quite well for your heart; you may have a narrower artery that's supplying enough blood when you're resting, but when you exercise, that narrowed artery can't increase the flow to the heart muscle. And we can see that through the nuclear stress test because that's measuring the blood flow to the heart; you can see where the flow increases normally, compared to those areas where it doesn't increase. We can do that in one of two ways."

DEAR READER: Nuclear stress tests are similar to exercise stress tests. During an exercise stress test, a patient gets an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure readings, and is monitored as he or she walks on a treadmill. An exercise stress test indicates whether the heart gets enough blood and oxygen when it’s working at its hardest. The test is usually done if a patient has symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD), or if the patient’s doctor wants to assess the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment."

Stress tests are tests performed by a doctor and/or trained technician to determine the amount of stress that your heart can manage before developing either an abnormal rhythm or evidence of ischemia (not enough blood flow to the heart muscle). There are many different types of stress tests, including: Treadmill stress test As long as you can walk and have a normal ECG, this is normally the first stress test performed. You walk on a treadmill while being monitored to see how far you walk and if you develop chest pain or changes in your ECG that suggest that your heart is not getting enough blood. Cardiolite Stress Test A Cardiolite Stress Test helps diagnose coronary artery disease or identifies areas of the heart that lack an adequate blood supply due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are located on the outside of the heart and bring oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle. While walking on a treadmill Cardiolite is injected at peak exercise through an I. V. in the arm. Cardiolite (a radioactive substance known as a tracer) travels in the blood stream to the heart where it is picked up by the heart muscle cells. Areas of the heart muscle that lack an adequate blood supply pick up the tracer very slowly or not at all. After exercising you will be asked to report to the Radiology Department for the imaging session."

During a nuclear stress test, you'll be injected with a radioactive dye, and a scanner will take pictures of your heart. Then you'll be asked to walk or run on a treadmill or pedal on a stationary bicycle while some tests are being done on your heart. Why Do I Need a Stress Test? Stress tests, and other cardiac tests, can help your doctor to diagnose heart disease (for example, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, or coronary failure). Although you may not have heart disease symptoms while you are at rest, you may show signs and symptoms of cardiac disease during physical exertion. Your doctor may order a stress test if you've had heart attack symptoms (for example, chest pains, shortness of breath), but have not actually had a heart attack. You may also be given a stress test if you've already been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, have recently had a heart attack, if you get a fluttering feeling in your chest during exercise, or if you have diabetes.

Tesla did not reveal exact details of his findings but his discoveries were the foundation for constructing a large tower structure at Wardenclyffe near Shoreham, New York in 1908. Tesla proclaimed that he could provide free electrical energy for the entire world with his tower that featured large disks at the apex of structure. There is a legend that J. P. Morgan, who financed the construction of the tower, was not informed of Tesla's intentions until the structure was almost completed. Upon hearing Tesla's declaration, Morgan ordered an immediate demolition of the tower to protect the financial interests of him and his associates who were heavily invested into alternating current electricity that Tesla had discovered and developed in the 1890's. The legend further states that Tesla test fired his Wardenclyffe Tower only hours before the demolition crew arrived. However, instead of providing electricity to the world, his device so disturbed the Schumann Resonance that miles of wilderness were destroyed in an instant. About 10 years ago the author of this article reviewed a feature in Fate magazine that was published in the 1960's. The author of the Fate magazine article and his sources connected the dots of Tesla test firing Wardenclyffe Tower and a massive nuclear type bomb explosion in Siberia known as the Tunguska Mystery."

"text": "Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)Updated: Sep 19,2016What is a cardiac SPECT scan? A SPECT scan of the heart is a noninvasive nuclear imaging test. It uses radioactive tracers that are injected into the blood to produce pictures of your heart. Doctors use SPECT to diagnose coronary artery disease and find out if a heart attack has occurred. SPECT can show how well blood is flowing to the heart and how well the heart is working. Quick facts SPECT scans use radioactive material called tracers. The tracers mix with your blood and are taken up by living heart muscle. A special “gamma” camera picks up signals from the tracer as it moves around your chest. The tracer’s signals are converted into images by a computer. The pictures will help your doctor see if your heart is getting enough blood or if blood flow is reduced because of narrowed arteries."

Email Print Share Follow @TIMEWorld What just happened? Over the weekend, a meeting in Geneva between Iranian officials and representatives from the permanent members of the U. N. Security Council (the U. S., the U. K., France, Russia, China) and Germany reached what amounts to a temporary deal on Iran’s controversial nuclear program. For the next six months, the Iranians have agreed to halt any activity that could boost their ability to build a nuclear weapon and agreed as well to what seems to be rigorous new international inspections. In return, the U. S. and its allies will afford Iran some relief — though the roughly $7 billion on offer is not much — to the crippling regime of international sanctions that has hobbled the Iranian economy in recent years. Why is Iran’s nuclear program considered such a threat? Iran’s nuclear program launched in the late 1950s with considerable American aid — at the time, the country’s ruling monarchy was firmly in Washington’s geopolitical camp. That all ended when the 1979 revolution toppled the Shah and ushered in the Islamic Republic. Thereafter, successive Iranian governments have insisted their nuclear program is intended entirely for peaceful, civilian purposes and that they have no interest in building a bomb."

The test aims to find out whether any areas of the heart muscle are not receiving enough blood flow during exercise. It is similar to the exercise stress test or pharmacological, or chemical, stress test. It is also known at the thallium stress test, a myocardial perfusion scan, or a radionuclide test. The test can be done while the patient is resting or doing exercise. The radioactive substance that is injected into the patient is called a radionuclide. The test takes about 3 to 4 hours . Although the patient is exposed to a small amount of radiation, the test is considered safe . Benefits During a nuclear stress test, the individual will exercise, a radioactive dye is injected, and then images are taken to assess the heart's health."

"text": "Home Physicians The ACC’s Cardiac Stress Testing Appropriate Use Criteria Answer the Wrong Question Physicians The ACC’s Cardiac Stress Testing Appropriate Use Criteria Answer the Wrong Question Jan 20, 2011 1SHARE Facebook Twitter By ADAM ROTHSCHILD, MDDr. William Follansbee is the chairman of the American College of Cardiology/American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ACC/ASNC) task force on non-invasive cardiac imaging and the director of nuclear cardiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Cardiovascular Institute. He recently published an editorial in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette in which he criticized the local Blue Cross/Blue Shield carrier, Highmark, for restricting the use of nuclear cardiac stress testing in favor of sonographic cardiac stress testing (a.k.a. stress echocardiography). Dr. Follansbee made several arguments as to why he believed that Highmark’s restriction of nuclear cardiac stress testing was wrong. One of his core arguments is that “patients will be…denied access to appropriately indicated nuclear cardiology tests ordered by their physicians” (emphasis is mine). He (indirectly) references the ACC’s 2009 Appropriate Use Criteria for Cardiac Radionuclide Imaging in support of this argument. This document identifies clinical scenarios where a group of experts reached consensus that nuclear cardiac stress testing was appropriate. Dr. Follansbee fails to mention that the ACC also publishes an analogous document called 2008 Appropriateness Criteria for Stress Echocardiography, which uses the same methodology to identify clinical scenarios where a group of experts reached consensus that sonographic cardiac stress testing was appropriate and which illustrates that indications and test performance characteristics for nuclear and echocardiographic stress testing are virtually the same. That said, neither of these ACC documents explicitly identifies where nuclear cardiac stress testing is preferable to sonographic cardiac stress testing and vice versa."

"text": "Nuclear Stress Testing: What You Need To Know By Wendy Innes. May 7th 2016Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease in the United States, with 785,000 people having a first coronary attack each year, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Another 470,000 people who have already had a coronary attack are likely to experience a second one. One of the ways that doctors diagnose coronary artery disease is through a nuclear stress test, which measures blood flow to the heart while a person is resting or when there is stress on the heart. What Is It? A nuclear stress test is one of many stress tests available to cardiologists that allow an image to be created of the heart both at rest and under stress. This allows the doctor to see if the heart is working as efficiently as it should and to see if there are any areas of the heart that are being deprived of blood or oxygen. With this information, the cardiologist can then formulate a treatment plan. Because nuclear stress testing does involve low level exposure to radiation, doctors will only use this test if other tests are not an option or in the event that a stress electrocardiogram (ECG) was unreadable or unclear. Like other stress tests, the nuclear stress test involves obtaining two sets of images of the heart muscle, one at rest and one while, or immediately after, exercise."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex disease that causes reduced or absent blood flow in one or more of the arteries that encircle and supply the heart. The disease may be focal or diffuse. Apart from rare congenital anomalies (birth defects), coronary artery disease is usually a degenerative disease, uncommon as a clinical problem before the age of 30 years and common by the age of 60 years. One in four people will have a heart attack. The first recognized symptom may be death. The term coronary is derived from crown, referring to the way these arteries sit on the heart. The American College of Radiology notes that coronary artery disease has a long asymptomatic latent period and that early targeted preventive measures can reduce mortality and morbidity. Imaging modalities for evaluating patients at increased risk for CAD include radiography, fluoroscopy, multidetector CT, ultrasound, MRI, cardiac perfusion scintigraphy, echocardiography, and positron emission tomography (PET).

This living biosystem which we take so much for granted has evolved slowly into a relatively stable dynamic equilibrium, with predictable interactions between plants and animals, between microscopic and macroscopic life, between environmental pollutants and human health. Changes in the environment disturb this balance in two ways: first, by altering the carefully evolved seed by randomly damaging it, and second, by altering the habitat, i.e. food, climate or environment, to which the seed and/or organism has been adapted, making life for future generations more difficult or even impossible. Although examples of maladaptation in nature and resulting species extinction abound, our focus here is on human seed, the sperm and ovum, and the effect on it and on the human habitat resulting from increasing ionising radiation in the environment. The increased use of radioactive materials, which is a direct outgrowth of the current military and energy policies of the developed world, provides an opportunity for gauging what priority these countries give to the health and well-being of individual citizens, and for gauging governments' understanding of the tension between individual and national survival. The first indicator of underlying national priorities is the precision or lack of precision with which health effects are predicted, and the thoroughness with which an audit is taken and the predictions checked against reality. The audit findings should be reported to the person or people affected, and their participation sought in formulating changes in policy to remedy any unanticipated problems. The individual's sense of self-preservation and personal benefit, in such an ideal system, would give realistic feedback to governments on the acceptability of national policy.

Acute (sudden, short-term) stress leads to rapid changes throughout the body. Almost all body systems (the heart and blood vessels, immune system, lungs, digestive system, sensory organs, and brain) gear up to meet perceived danger. These stress responses could prove beneficial in a critical, life-or-death situation. Over time, however, repeated stressful situations put a strain on the body that may contribute to physical and psychological problems.

When a heart is at rest, blockages might be unrecognizable by an EKG test. But when a heart is working, it pumps harder making it easier to identify potential coronary artery blockages or heart problems. Generally, a stress test involves walking on a treadmill or bicycling on a stationary bike at increasing levels of difficulty to determine stress on the heart. While the test itself generally takes less than 15 minutes, expect the doctor's visit to be up to two hours total. Typical costs: There are typically two main costs associated with a stress test -- the cost of the test itself and the cost of analyzing the results. Patients with medical insurance covering a portion of the cost of the stress test procedure can expect to pay $200-$400 total out of pocket, depending on a patient's copay responsibility. Harvard Pilgrim Health Care [ 1] , a Massachusetts based health care provider, charges its members $270-$379 for the test itself and an additional $24-$39 for an interpretation of the test. Uninsured patients will likely pay $1,000-$5,000 for stress test and the analysis. A cardiovascular stress test costs about $3,800 on average nationally, according to New Choice Health.com [ 2] , but can get as high as $10,900."

The stress response is induced by exercise or by drug stimulation. Cardiac stress tests compare the coronary circulation while the patient is at rest with the same patient's circulation during maximum physical exertion, showing any abnormal blood flow to the myocardium (heart muscle tissue). The results can be interpreted as a reflection on the general physical condition of the test patient. This test can be used to diagnose coronary artery disease (also known as ischemic heart disease) and assess patient prognosis after a myocardial infarction (heart attack). The cardiac stress test is done with heart stimulation, either by exercise on a treadmill, pedalling a stationary exercise bicycle ergometer, [1] or with intravenous pharmacological stimulation, with the patient connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG). People who cannot use their legs may exercise with a bicycle-like crank that they turn with their arms.

The first trick it’s got up its sleeve is a form of camouflage called countershading that protects it from both flying and swimming predators while it floats. ( 2) The underside of the blue glaucus, which faces upward, is blue, helping it blend into the water’s surface when seen from above, while its back, which faces downward, is a more grayish color, helping it blend into the ocean when seen from below. ( 2,4) The second tricky feature of the blue glaucus is even more amazing. It feeds on hydrozoans (a group of animals in the same phylum as jellyfish), especially the highly poisonous Portuguese Man-O’-War.

( 1,2,7,8) It may keep itself safe from the poison by releasing protective mucus and by hard barrier-like discs inside its skin. ( 7,8) But the blue glaucus does more than simply protect itself against these stings. It stores the swallowed poison inside the up to 84 finger-like structures or cerata (4,6) sticking out of its body, and then uses this poison to defend itself against other predators! ("

Polychaetes are often called bristleworms because each of the body segments has an upper and lower bundle of bristles (called setae or chaetae) on each side. In free-living polychaetes, the bristles, combined with snake-like body waves, help the worm to move along. In Fireworms, Eurythoe spp ( A ), the bristles have evolved into defensive organs. They are fragile, hollow tubes filled with poison. They are easily broken when the worm is touched and the pain they cause when they pierce the skin makes their common name very appropriate. The bristles found in worms that live in tubes or burrows ( sessile or sedentary worms) have often evolved into hooks to help anchor the worm in place. Sedentary worms make a whole variety of homes. Many make a hard calcareous tube ( C - Spirorbis ), which is attached to a hard surface or even large algae.

In many of our most familiar mollusks, the hard shell is widely considered either the most interesting and valuable part or the chief barrier between you and your meal. If you’re inclined to agree with the former, you view mollusks in much the same way as many snail and bivalve taxonomists do. If you hold the “barrier” view, you are in sympathy with a wide range of marine wildlife, in addition to billions of human diners. Either way, you have a valid point, but it neglects several important groups of mollusks. In addition to the bivalves and snails that immediately spring to the shell-focused mind, consider the octopus and squid, whose highly reduced “shells” are completely internal. And let’s not forget the slugs. There are several branches within the Gastropoda with reduced, barely noticeable shells, much like the cephalopods, and others whose shells have been entirely lost. Then there are the aplacophorans, which throughout their evolution never possessed a shell."

Pacific, more Updated Dec 7, 2015 · Author has 734 answers and 2.7m answer views Excellent posts here covering both instinctive, visual and taste feeding cues. I would add that we humans were, up to very recently in our history, part of the same process: I'm hungry - can I eat this or will it kill me or make me sick? Getting food involves risk - not just from poisoning but being vulnerable to predation, and it also takes energy to chew, digest etc. So, the flipside of the question is: is it worth the risk and energy to eat something? We have four basic senses of taste: sweet, sour, bitter and salt. Recently another has been added: \"\"Umami\"\". Ever wonder why you love ice cream but needed to \"\"learn to love\"\" broccoli? It's the evolutionary part of your brain talking to the pleasure centers of your brain - you get rewarded for choosing foods that are probably not toxic and loaded with calories. For example, many plants have toxins like alkaloids that can be deadly, which our sense of taste processes as \"\"bitter\"\" - the more bitter a plant or vegetable is, the more likely it is to either make you sick or kill you outright . However, the sweeter the food is, the more carbohydrates it has."

There is perhaps no other ocean treasure that displays more diversity and beauty than the shell. Conchology, the study and collection of shells is a popular hobby the world over. The bivalves, or two-shell mollusks include the clams, scallops, and oysters. It is the oyster that is responsible for producing the most coveted of the ocean's treasures - the pearl.

Ahhh, yes, the often dismissed but very necessary part of the tropical fish hobby, the infamous quarantine tank. Do you really need one to be successful in this hobby? For freshwater fish you may be able to get by without having a quarantine tank. Freshwater fish are generally more suited to captivity because they are usually tank raised and don't seem to break out in disease as readily as their saltwater counterparts. However, if newly acquired fish do come down with something such as ich (ick) or velvet, you will surely wish that you had one ready to go. One newly bought fish that is introduced to your main tank can easily wipe out the entire tank population. Better safe than sorry, right? For saltwater aquarium keepers, I would say that you definitely need a quarantine tank (sometimes called a hospital tank)."

Did you know that many specialists consider octopuses, squids, cuttlefishes and nautiluses the most intelligent of the invertebrates? Many snails are smaller than the fingernail of your little finger while giant squid can grow up to 68 feet (21m) long. Giant squid inhabit the waters of the deep ocean while chitons, limpets, sea hares and many mussels inhabit tidal zones. And despite some obvious differences, all creatures described in the phylum Mollusca are closely related. Mollusks, a collection of invertebrates that includes nudibranchs, slugs, snails, chitons, clams, oysters, scallops, mussels, cuttlefishes, octopuses, squids and many other familiar creatures, are a successful group of animals. In comparison with other invertebrates, mollusks are highly developed creatures. They possess well-defined organ systems and have sophisticated sensory abilities. Species of mollusks are widespread, inhabiting marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. In the animal kingdom, only the Arthropoda, a phylum which includes lobsters, crabs, shrimps and insects, and possibly the phylum which describes worms known as nematodes (not particularly relevant to divers) contains more species."

They are dinoflagellates, a group of microscopic plants which are usually found swimming and floating in the sea. Organisms which live like this are called plankton, and those that are plants are called phytoplankton. Like most plants, phytoplankton are able to convert the sun's energy into food through a process called photosythesis, so to survive they are only found in the upper layers of the sea and lakes where sunlight can penetrate. Zooxanthellae are best known for their role in the life of reef-forming corals. In tropical waters almost all coral animals contain a colony of zooxanthellae. Without these symbiotic plants, the coral animals would be unable to obtain enough nutrients to build their calcium carbonate skeletons, which accumulate to form the vast coral reefs of the tropics. Coral animals and other related cnidarians (corals, soft-corals, sea anemones, gorgonians etc) are the most well-known animals containing symbiotic zooxanthellae, but they are also found in other invertebrates such as the Giant Clams ( Tridacna) and many nudibranchs."

"text": "Nurse Advocate What Does a Nurse Advocate Do? A nurse advocate acts as a liaison between patients and their health care providers in order to improve or maintain the quality of care that patients receive. To help patients make the best decision regarding their health, these nurses educate them about illness, ensure that they understand their diagnosis and inform them about all of the possible treatment options. Although nurses take orders from doctors, they must be able to speak up for patients when those orders conflict with what the patients wants. With each patient having different circumstances, beliefs, and preferences, it is not uncommon for their wishes to conflict with doctor’s orders. Nurse advocates communicate with doctors and try to offer patients alternative solutions that are carefully thought out and executed. Their job is to assist patients even when they do not agree with them, so they cannot get personally involved and must keep their personal thoughts and feelings about decisions to themselves. How Can I Become a Nurse Advocate? If you want to be a nurse advocate, you must first earn a bachelor's or associate degree in nursing, or graduate from a nursing diploma program. After successfully completing your education, you will need to pass the NCLEX-RN exam to become a licensed registered nurse."

The confusion is understandable – after all, elder law was generally unknown as a practice area ten years ago. The first thing you should know about Elder law is that it is an incredibly broad area of law. It can include any legal issue facing older adults and their families. It includes things like estate planning, probate, guardianship, real estate, nursing home neglect and a dozen other areas of law. In fact, Elder law is such a broad topic that no one lawyer is likely to have expertise in all of the topics. The goal of most elder law attorneys is to know several topics very well and to work with other attorneys who know the others. Small firms often have several attorneys that each handle different categories. In addition, it is important for elder law attorneys to have some knowledge of the so called “elder network.”"

The pensions are called \"\"Aid and Attendance\"\" and \"\"Housebound.\"\" Many are not getting the benefits they are eligible for, because they lack the knowledge of what programs are available and don't know how to file for pension benefits. Although many veterans are eligible for pensions, filling out the necessary forms and understanding the filing process can often be overwhelming and frustrating. In an interview with Aging Care, Joseph Scott Mc Carthy, a veteran advocate answers some common questions about veteran pension and financial assistance. Can Caregivers Get Financial Assistance for Caring for a Veteran? Yes, spouses or family members of veterans may get tax-free money for caring for veterans or surviving spouses. The VA program is called Aid and Attendance or Housebound Pension and requires the claimant to meet eligibility requirements to receive the money. A veteran with a dependent, for example, may receive as much as $25,525 per year to pay for un-reimbursed long-term care. Do VA Benefits Cover Nursing Homes or Assisted Living?"

Staying in the hospital without being formally admitted can cost you thousands of dollarsby Patricia Barry, AARP Bulletin, October 2012 | Comments: 0En español | Jean Arnau spent five days in the hospital with a fractured spine — lying in a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown and ID bracelet, eating hospital food and receiving regular nursing care. But when she was discharged and needed to transfer to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation, her family learned that she had never been formally admitted as an inpatient to the hospital at all. Instead, she'd been classified as an outpatient under \"\"observation\"\" — a status that would cost her thousands of dollars. Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter. Photo by Flickr/Getty Images Being classified as an outpatient under \"\"observation\"\" can spike your hospital costs. Most patients would regard as meaningless the seemingly slight distinction between the two labels — after all, they're getting exactly the same kind of care. But it can have costly consequences. Under the rules, Medicare picks up the whole tab for the first 20 days in an approved skilled nursing facility for rehab or other care, but only if someone has spent at least three full days in the hospital as an admitted patient. If instead a patient has been under observation — for all or part of that time — he or she is responsible for the entire cost of rehab. ["

( Photo by Jason Madden)A medical status of \"\"under observation\"\" saves money for hospitals and insurance companies, but often costs patients more. When Linda Brocato landed in Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview, Ill., last August, it was like deja vu from 2009. In both instances, the 61-year-old had badly broken her leg, which doctors had to immobilize with a straight-leg brace. She was at the hospital for three days both times and then went to a nursing home for intensive rehab. So Brocato, an Angie's List member, says she was shocked when hospital staff told her two days into her most recent stay that follow-up nursing home care wouldn't be covered by Medicare. She became furious at the hospital when she received a $13,000 nursing home care bill. The reason: Unlike 2009, this time the hospital didn't admit Brocato as an inpatient, a requirement by Medicare to receive nursing home coverage. Instead, doctors had placed Brocato under observation — something health care providers may do to allow more time and tests to determine what care is needed. A decision to discharge or admit is supposed to be made in less than 24 hours."

This law has had a significant impact on the health care industry including the need for numerous changes in the way we communicate with our patients, their families, and with each other. This law provides rights to patients and safeguards for employees. It affects everyone in a health care setting. Since the days in which the Nightingale Pledge was written, nursing has stressed the importance of confidentiality regarding all patient matters. The current Code of Ethics for Nurses ( ANA, 2001) is clear in intent and meaning as it relates to the nurse’s role in promoting and advocating for patient’s rights related to privacy and confidentiality. For nurses, HIPAA is an endorsement of our previously articulated responsibility to our patients.

In films and on TV old people are very often depicted as weak, indecisive, bumbling or even comic. We laugh at their misdeeds and forgive their mistakes knowing in the back of our minds that they are old and can't help themselves. We view them not as capable as younger people. It is rarely that we see older people depicted as decisive, strong or as leaders. We see this same attitude with large corporations and government employers.

The National Welfare Rights organization coalesced around a patient bill of rights and in 1972 it became incorporated into the accreditation standards for hospitals by the American Hospital Association. In an effort to professionalize the field of patient advocacy, Ruth Ravitch, a founder of the ground-breaking patient advocacy program at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, along with Joan Marks who became the director of the program, established the Master’s program in Health Advocacy at Sarah Lawrence College in 1980 to educate professionals to work in hospitals, government, policy and community and private settings. Since then, many courses and certificate programs have been created to educate patient advocates to work in a variety of settings, including the University of Miami and the Center for Patient Partnerships at the University of Wisconsin. What is the origin of patient navigation? The original concept of patient navigation was pioneered in 1990 by Dr. Harold P. Freeman, a surgical oncologist at Harlem Hospital, for the purpose of eliminating barriers to timely cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care."

Go to CE Details Authors Menendez, Juliet Battard RN, MSHL, CPHRMAbstract ABSTRACT: Before surgery, the informed consent process is the practical application of shared decision making between a surgeon and a patient. However, nurses, as enlightened patient advocates, also have an entrusted interest in fully understanding the legal and ethical considerations of the informed consent process. Some of the ethical principles impacting informed consent are existing cornerstones of professional nursing practice. Nevertheless, surgeons bear the ultimate responsibility for the informed consent process before surgery. The ideal completion of the informed consent process may be achieved if surgeons and knowledgeable nurses collaborate for the patient's good. Article Content Shared decision making is at the foundation of a mutually respectful relationship between a health care provider and a patient. Before surgery, the informed consent process serves as the practical application of mutual participation and respect for the patient's autonomy."

Updated March 2018………………………………………..• Private, Independent Patient Advocacy is a fast growing profession. Cited as one of the fastest growing professions of the upcoming decade, private patient advocacy is, indeed, growing rapidly. The healthcare system has changed to the point where it is no longer recognizable. As patients become more fearful they aren’t getting the care they need, or are being asked to pay more than they can afford, they and their caregivers are increasingly reaching out to private, independent patient advocates for support. You may recognize private patient advocates using different terms: health advocates, patient or health navigators, case or care managers, doulas and others; all names that represent someone who works one-on-one and independently with patients as individuals. Read more about the growing profession from Forbes Magazine, US News & World Report, the New York Times, and O Magazine.• How do private advocates help patients and caregivers? Advocates offer a wide range of services ranging from accompanying patients to their doctors’ appointments, to sitting by the bedside in the hospital, to reviewing and negotiating medical bills – and everything in between. Here is a master list of the types of services advocates offer . ( Note: not all patients’ advocates offer all services. ) Some advocates focus on one particular disease or approach to care."

Nurses contribute many things to society and are upheld to very high professional standards. Florence Nightingale historically set the bar for nursing standards and pushed for nurses to advocate for patients when they were too sick to speak for themselves. She was the first person to incorporate nursing philosophy so that the public knew what was expected of nursing care. For the nurses or even nursing students, it is helpful to write a personal nursing philosophy. This article contains some nursing philosophy examples to help you see how they are written. Nursing Philosophy Examples A nursing philosophy is a key statement of a nurse or organization and their commitment to accountability, professionalism, and compassion for the ill.

Contemporary midwives provide care and support to women during uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries and call on obstetricians or other physicians if problems develop. Midwifery is a professionally regulated field. Midwives focus on working with the woman to reduce the risk for complications during childbirth. Communication between midwife and the pregnant woman is emphasized. Midwives also focus on the needs of the family, and most encourage family participation in the birth.

"text": "What Does a Case Management Nurse Do? Case management nurses are specialized registered nurses (RNs) who manage the long-term care plans for patients with chronic or complicated medical conditions. These nurses work closely with patients and their loved ones to evaluate patients’ needs and come up with a comprehensive healthcare plan that speaks to their preferences and goals. The critical help they provide offers peace of mind and a sense of security to patients and their families. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »Case management nurses generally have a concentration, a portion of the patient population on which they focus their greatest attention. For example, they will manage healthcare for patients coping with HIV/AIDS, elderly patients who are trying to manage several different medical problems, cancer patients, patients suffering from mental illnesses or deficiencies, or those awaiting or recovering from organ transplants. Beyond managing patients’ healthcare plans, a case management nurse also has the opportunity to work in a social work capacity, for example by helping patients and families to resolve financial issues. These nurses act as advocates to ensure that each patient receives the most cost-effective care possible. Advocacy includes medication management and scheduling medical testing and any necessary follow-up to ensure that each patient is heard and afforded the care he needs. Acting as patient care liaisons, case management nurses coordinate the care that patients receive from each healthcare provider and manage plans for chemotherapy, radiation therapy or other continued therapies."

"text": "What Does a Nurse Anesthetist Do? Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) use their advanced training in pain management to relieve suffering and discomfort due to surgery, trauma, childbirth and illness. After administering anesthetic, they remain at the patient’s side, providing support and adjusting the dosage as needed. CRNAs also care for people before and after surgery and play an important role in ensuring patient safety. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »Nurses have been providing anesthesia care since the Civil War. Today, CRNAs administer 33 million anesthetics annually in the United States. In addition to working in operating rooms, these professionals serve as pain management specialists, first responders and coordinators of emergency care. Depending on state law, CRNAs either practice independently or in conjunction with an anesthesiologist, surgeon, dentist or podiatrist. Nurse anesthetists are sometimes incorrectly called nurse anesthesiologists; the correct term for a nurse practicing in the field is nurse anesthetist. Nurse anesthetists care for a wide variety of patients, from children to expectant mothers to senior citizens."

"text": "\"The History of Modern Anesthesia By Robert B. Hoffman, Esq., and Donald E. Martin, M. D. Introduction The Origin of Modern Surgical Anesthesia Origin of the Science of Anesthesia Development of the Medical Specialty of Anesthesia The Transition into the 20th Century Recap and Conclusions Introduction A recurrent issue in health care policy, particularly in efforts to control costs while maintaining quality, is the extent to which non-physician professionals should perform, independently or under supervision, medical tasks that are now the general responsibility of physicians. Doing so often implicates the profession’s scope of practice, the provision found in most state professional licensing statutes that determines the range of services a health care professional can legally perform. One such issue involves whether to expand the scope of practice of various categories of advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), to sanction more independent practice. As anesthesiologists, CRNAs, hospital administrators, and health policy experts debate and consider scope of practice and supervision issues for non-physician anesthetists, those supporting a broad scope of practice often point out that nurses, not anesthesiologists, were the first modern anesthesia providers. A recent resolution in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, designating January 22-28, 2012, as “Nurse Anesthetists Week,” began with that point. A press release/article by the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute (“Nurses are an equal, if not superior choice, to administer anesthesia”) believes it “important to understand the history of anesthesiology in America” and explains that “the very first professional that provided dedicated coverage to a patient under anesthesia was a nurse.” A president of the Pennsylvania Association of Nurse Anesthetists began testifying in 2007 before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Professional Licensure Committee by telling the legislators that nurses had been “administering anesthesia in Pennsylvania since 1877 when the first anesthetic was delivered at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Erie.” Even Wikipedia leads off its “Nurse Anesthetist” entry with that history, citing to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists as the source. Most of these historical references are accurate, particularly as they compare the relative involvement of nurses vs. anesthesiologists per se in early anesthesia care."

"text": "\"Home »Job Descriptions »Healthcare Job Descriptions How Much Does a Nurse Anesthesiologist Make? By Fred Decker; Updated July 05, 2017Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images Although many simple surgical procedures can be performed under local anesthetics, the majority require an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist to provide general anesthetic. Anesthesiologists are fully-trained medical doctors, with special expertise in anesthesia and respiratory issues. Nurse anesthetists are experienced registered nurses, who have taken a graduate degree in anesthesia. Both are capable of providing anesthesia services during surgery, and both are well compensated for their efforts. Nurse anesthetists are among the highest-paid of all nurses, with salaries approaching doctor-like levels. AANA 2009 Survey The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists performed a detailed survey of members' salaries in 2009, releasing their results the following year. At that time, respondents reported an average salary of $182,000 per year for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, or CRNAs. The lowest-paid 25 percent reported salaries of $150,000 or less, while the top 25 percent earned $218,000 or more. At the 90th percentile, respondents reported salaries of $250,000 or more."

For those with excellent clinical skills and the determination to pursue a graduate degree, an advanced practice specialty such as anesthesia is one option. Certified registered nurse anesthetists provide anesthesia for millions of surgical procedures each year, working with or without a doctor's supervision. Their salaries are among the highest in nursing, and are even comparable to those of some doctors. CRNA Salaries The Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't track salary data for nurse anesthetists separately from other registered nurses, but a number of other industry bodies do. The American Medical Group Association's 2009 salary survey reported a median income of $157,724 for CRNAs. The Medical staffing firm Merritt Hawkins, in its own 2009 survey, reported CRNA salaries ranging from $125,000 to $250,000, with an average of $189,000 per year. Locum Tenens, another medical staffing firm, found an average CRNA salary of $168,998 in its 2011 salary survey.

"text": "An Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) is a nurse who has a master’s, post-master’s certificate, or practice-focused doctor of nursing practice degree in one of four specific roles. APRNs are licensed through a state board of nursing to provide patient care within their role and patient population focus, and in many states have the authority to prescribe medication and practice independently without physician oversight. Though advanced practice registered nursing is an advanced subset of registered nursing, in most states the APRN license is considered separate licensing class from RN licensure. The International Council of Nurses defines an advanced practice nurse as a registered nurse with the expert knowledge, complex decision-making skills, and clinical competencies necessary for expanded practice. This differentiates APRNs from registered nurses (RNs) in that they are capable of taking on more complex casework and handling those cases with greater independence and discretion. For this reason, APRNs are increasingly being relied on to meet the demand for primary and specialty healthcare practitioners, especially in rural areas and other areas underserved by physicians. The four APRN roles currently defined in practice are:• Nurse Practitioners (NP) • Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) • Certified Nurse-midwives (CNM) • Certified Nurse Anesthetists (CNA)Nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists are further defined by national certification in one of six patient population focus areas (Family/Individual Across the Lifespan, Adult-Gerontology (acute or primary, Women’s Health, Neonatal, Pediatrics (acute or primary), Psychiatric/Mental Health). For certified nurse-midwives, who work with infants and women during pregnancy and throughout the lifespan, the patient population is implicit in the primary role. Nurse anesthetists may be more familiar with a particular patient population group based on practice setting, but are able to work with all patient groups under their primary role certification. APRNs may practice independently in some states and in some roles, while in other states they are required to enter into what is known as a collaborative agreement with a supervising physician."

What We Do A nurse anesthetist works as an advanced practice nurse and treats patients through the use of anesthesia before and after surgery. This kind of nurse operates in a number of settings including surgery, birth, and pain-related illnesses. According to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, nurse anesthetists are the only certified personnel to deliver anesthesia in two out of three hospitals in the rural U. S. Top 5 Tasks Performed Nurse anesthetists work in operating rooms and deliver anesthesia during surgery, they also provide anesthesia for outpatient procedures. Pain management, epidurals during child birth, and necessary anesthesia in emergency room procedures are also tasks that fall under the role of a nurse anesthetist. Work Environment A nurse anesthetist can be found in most hospitals, particularly in surgical wards or maternity wards. They also work in private clinics, military settings, and in educational roles. Although there isn’t a lot of physical stress in this type of occupation, it can cause some mental strain and emotional strain as it requires dealing with the pain of others. Sometimes patients can’t be given anesthetics and this can also affect a nurse anesthetist. How to Become Becoming a certified nurse anesthetist takes a number of years longer than a standard registered nurse."

Nurse anesthesia is one of those specialties. A certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) is responsible for the administration of a patient's anesthetics. In the United States, anesthesia services are administered mostly by two types of providers: anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Anesthesiologists are physicians who have completed medical school, a clinical base year residency, and three years as a resident in an anesthesia program. Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) are advanced practice nurses who have earned a baccalaureate degree, practiced more than one year as an acute care nurse, and have successfully completed a graduate-level nurse anesthetist program. These graduate programs have an average duration of 28 months but may be as long as 36 months. Except for the extra training that anesthesiologists receive in medical school and residency other than the direct provision of anesthesia, both CRNAs and anesthesiologists undergo similar classroom and clinical training in anesthesia care.

Clementi, Ph D, RN-BC, associated with Loyola University in Chicago and Loyola University Medical Center, respectively, recently reported on the relationship between nurses’ compassionate care and patient outcomes in the Journal for Nurses in Professional Development. In their study, a one-day training program was added to the general nursing orientation at a Midwestern academic medical center to address implementation of a patient-centered model of care and the compassionate side of nursing, including being there for patients and valuing them with active listening. The sessions covered communication, attentive body language, honesty, listening skills, empathy, concern and respect for patients. “This provides evidence of the importance of some of these other aspects of care, meeting patients needs, empathy and compassion, and there are tangible benefits of such behaviors,” said Annette De Vito Dabbs, Ph D, RN, FAAN, professor and department chair for acute and tertiary care at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. “ While we’ve long promoted these interactions, putting it forward in an orientation sends a clear message that it’s important and as important as any other rule or regulation. ”Dabbs indicated travel nurses and other staff also would benefit from orientations with an emphasis on empathy and compassion. “When that is conveyed as an important part of being there, it would make a world of difference, especially for people with limited other connections to a [health] system,” Dabbs said."

Without the right preceptor, the transition from classroom to patient’s room can be difficult, but a preceptor who demonstrates how to turn classroom theory into skilled clinical practice can put a new nurse on the path to clinical excellence. What a preceptor needs What does it take to be a good preceptor? First, it takes a strong relationship with the new nurse. Every new nurse needs one designated preceptor. The preceptor’s schedule should match the nurse’s schedule, and the preceptor and new nurse should share a single patient assignment. Every preceptor needs certain key qualities: clinical expertise, organizational skills, teaching talent, patience, leadership and, most important, the desire to be a preceptor."

It is important to identify the nursing concepts that keep care delivery focused on the patient and their family. The organization of care delivery is determined by a variety of factors such as economic issues, leadership beliefs, and the ability to recruit and retain staff. Ideally, evidence of the effect of care models on quality care would also be a major factor in decision making. Historically, four traditional care models have dominated the organization of inpatient nursing care, such as total patient care, functioning nursing, team nursing, and primary nursing. Despite the interest in a variety of care models, it is difficult to discern which models work best, whether the traditional or the nontraditional inpatient nursing care models. When we discuss about model of care we are essentially talking about nursing issues: increasing nursing shortage, the number of new nurses, different background of nurses, the number of staff, and cost of delivery model. Many nursing departments have reported the implementation of innovative nursing models. However, it lacks of evidence of innovation model to face those issues. In this paper, the authors provide information, which basically nurses need to understand the positive and negative consequences of each model in order to plan and propose to decision-makers the most efficient and effective way to deliver care."

"text": "Top 3 challenges for an LPNby Lynda Lampert • Last Updated: October 24, 2016Tweet Republish Reprint Image by Thinkstock Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are some of the most important people in the nursing care schema. They pass meds, perform rounds and help the RN in his or her job. A great LPN makes an RN’s life a little easier and brings a great set of skills to the care of the patient. Some facilities would be lost without their LPNs pulling the weight of the care. Unfortunately, LPNs do face certain challenges when they attempt to perform their jobs. Some of these challenges are surmountable with good communication among all members of the care team, and some are consequences of the legalities of nursing. LPNs are limited in what they can do, and that sometimes presents challenges to an LPN who has to depend on the RN for so many things. With some persistence, though, an LPN can find a way to overcome these challenges and care for patients with skill.1. Restrictions on job opportunities One of the challenges for LPNs, especially in this tight job economy, is finding a place to work. Many hospitals restrict their hiring for floor nurses to RNs, and this can be frustrating for LPNs who want to work in acute care settings."

Some children, however, do not identify with either gender. They may feel like they are somewhere in between or have no gender. It is natural for parents to ask if it is \"\"just a phase.\"\" But, there is no easy answer. For some young children, expressing a wish to be or identifying as another gender may be temporary; for others, it is not. Only time will tell. Some children who are gender non-conforming in early childhood grow up to become transgender adults (persistently identifying with a gender that is different from their birth sex), and others do not. Many gender non-conforming children grow up to identify with a gay, lesbian, or bisexual sexual orientation (i.e. attracted to the same or both genders as opposed to feeling they are a different gender).

[ 1] [2] [3] Grounded theory is a research methodology which operates inductively, in contrast to the hypothetico-deductive approach. A study using grounded theory is likely to begin with a question, or even just with the collection of qualitative data. As researchers review the data collected, repeated ideas, concepts or elements become apparent, and are tagged with codes, which have been extracted from the data. As more data is collected, and re-reviewed, codes can be grouped into concepts, and then into categories. These categories may become the basis for new theory. Thus, grounded theory is quite different from the traditional model of research, where the researcher chooses an existing theoretical framework, and only then collects data to show how the theory does or does not apply to the phenomenon under study.

Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. Leadership is said to be a way of behaving that influence others to respond, not because they want to, but because they have to, it is seen as personal interactions between group of people which aim at improving personal interactions and focus on achieving a particular goals. Catalano (2006), define leadership as the ability of and individual to influence the behavior of others. A good leadership must possess some very important skills to be effective, this includes but not limited to critical thinking, problem solving, active listening, skillful communication, acknowledgment and respect for individual difference, establishment of clear goals and outcomes, and continue personal and professional development (Tappen 2001). While Management on the other can be define a problem oriented process with a focus on the activities needed to achieve a goal, it supply the structure, resources and direction for activities of the group. Management is aimed toward influencing employees to be as productive as humanly possible Catalano (2005). There is always a relationship between leadership and management in nursing, Malby (1996) indicates that developing and fostering leadership competencies could direct nurse managers to think beyond tradition and to coordinate multidisciplinary dialogue which articulates the needs of the system and the patients whilst empowering employee. Leadership has been defined by different scholars and it has been group into theory for better understanding of its relationship to management, in this essay I will concentrate on the effect of different leadership and management theory and how it is related to nursing and healthcare system."

Contact with peers is increasingly with other-sex friends (during childhood peer groups are highly segregated) Collectives of peer groups, cliques or crowds emerge Changes in peer relations are related to biological, cognitive, and social transitions of adolescence Cliques Small, tightly knit groups of between 2 and 12 friends, generally of the same sex and age Do you think the work \"\"cliques\"\" has a positive or negative connotation? How cliques structure social networks: Despite the popular image of adolescents as \"\"cliquish,\"\" fewer than half of adolescents are members of cliques Females more likely than males to be members of cliques Adolescents' positions in their school's social network are relatively stable over time Crowds Large, loosely organized groups of young people, composed of several cliques and typically organized around a common shared activity Membership based on reputation and stereotype, rather than actual friendship Examples: \"\"jocks,\"\" \"\"brains,\"\" \"\"nerds,\"\" and \"\"populars\"\" etc... In contrast to cliques, crowds are not settings for adolescents' intimate interactions of friendships Crowds help to locate adolescents (to themselves and to others) within the social structure of the schoolchanges in clique/crowd structure Although early adolescents' activities revolve around same-sex cliques, as adolescence progresses, male and female cliques come together High school peer structure is more differentiated and more permeable as opposed to middle school (often only two groups—popular and unpopular) The salience of peer crowds peaks during mid-adolescence, and then decreases towards later adolescence Parallels development and cognitive changes, particularly to peer pressure As adolescents become more secure in their identity, the need for affiliation with a crowd diminishes.social map of adolescence A model that maps adolescents' crowds along two dimensions: How involved they are in institutions controlled by adults How involved they are in the informal peer culturereference group A group against which an individual compares him or herself Often membership in a crowd is the basis for an adolescents' own identity—what do you think? Was this true in your experience? Because an adolescent's peer group plays such an important role as a reference group and source of identity, the crowd an adolescent affiliates with is likely to influence his or her behavior, activities, and self-conceptionsadolescent crowds and behavior Adolescents often imitate the behavior of high-status peers, the crowd leaders Crowds establish social norms (values and expectations) that members strive to follow When crowd members behave in ways that are consistent with these norms, they are reinforced for doing so; if they don't, they are made fun of or ignored When adolescents are reinforced for following a crowd's norms, they feel better about themselves and further incorporate their crowd membership into their identityadolescents and cliques The most important influence on clique composition is similarity. Age segregation in adolescents' cliques appear to result mostly from the structure of school-unlikely an individual will have friends who are substantially older or younger During early and middle adolescent years, cliques tend to be same sex because initially formed on the basis of shared activities and interests Not until adolescents begin dating that cliques mix Race/ethnicity is not a strong determinant of clique composition during childhood, but like social class, becomes more powerful as adolescents get older By middle/late adolescence, adolescents' peer groups are typically racially and/or ethnically segregated—may be influenced by discriminationcommon interest among friends Adolescent cliques are usually comprised of individuals who are the same age, in the same grade, from the same social class, and of the same race and/or ethnicity Factors that are important to determining clique membership and friendship patterns (beyond above) are: Orientation toward school: Adolescents and their friends tend to be similar in the attitudes toward school, in their school achievement, and in their educational plans Orientation toward the teen culture: Adolescents and their friends generally listen to the same music, dress alike, spend their leisure time in similar activities, and share patterns of drug/alcohol use Involvement in antisocial activity: Antisocial, aggressive adolescents often gravitate toward each other forming deviant peer groups Gangs: Organized peer groups of antisocial individuals Gangs are also groups of adolescents who are similar in background, share common interests/activities, and use the group to derive sense of identity Gang members tend to be more isolated from family, have more emotional/behavioral problems, and have poorer self-conceptions ROle of Parent in peer groups The process of antisocial peer group formation begins at home during childhood Stems from problematic parent-child relationships (coercive & hostile), leads to antisocial disposition in children, which leads to issues in school (academic and peer failure) When rejected by bulk of classmates, individual seeks out other antisocial peers Side note: even if adolescent has more antisocial friends, better relationships at home and stronger attachment to school will make them less susceptible to peer influence In addition, the crowd an adolescent belongs to is influenced by upbringing—parents play a role in socializing children toward certain values (e.g. athletics or academics) Predispose adolescents towards choosing certain friends or crowdsselection and socialization Research demonstrates that it is a combination of the two, both selection (attracted to each other because of initial similarity) and socialization (as friends they become more similar because they influence each other) And adolescent's behavior can be predicted on the basis of his/her friendship group's profilestability of adolescent friendships Cliques show moderate stability over the course of the school year—with some members staying, others leaving, and new members joining Cliques become more stable later in high school Even though some clique members leave and are replaced by others, the new members are likely to have the same attitudes and values as former members Which are more stable—same sex or opposite sex friendships? How about male friendships vs. female friendships? The most common causes of broken friendships are jealousy, incompatibility, violations of intimacy, and aggressionpopularity and rejection Although more socially skilled than unpopular teens, there are two forms of popularity that do not always go hand in hand: Sociometric popularity: How well liked an individual is Determined by social skills, friendliness, sense of humor, etc... Perceived popularity: How much status or prestige an individual has Determinants are highly variable, can differ between schools, between groups at the same school—need to understand the social context What are some examples from your high school experience? Predicting peer popularity is complicated by the fact that peer norms change: http://youtu.be/QSa368X1Z2w (21 jump street) When popular adolescents engage in a particular behavior, it often becomes more admireddynamics of popularity An ethnography of the \"\"dirty dozen\"\" at a school—a group of girls that were popular, cool, affluent, talented, yet mean and conceited revealed that meanness was one way that the clique ensured no one member became stuck-up as a result of her popularity OR, if any one member became too popular, the clique would turn on her, undermining her standing with other girls by gossiping, starting rumors, and deliberately attempting to disrupt her friendships: http://youtu.be/3szl AYwh LK8 (mean girls) Although popularity has some costs, advantages of being popular outweigh the disadvantages—more likely to have close and intimate friendships, participate in social activi"

"text": "These are the reasons why nurse practitioners are special Kim Sakovich, WHNP | Physician | September 15, 20122KShare Tweet Share By now most of us have heard of a nurse practitioner. But what exactly is a nurse practitioner? What can they do? How can they be incorporated into a medical practice? A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed graduate-level education and advanced practice training. Nurse practitioners can see a wide range of patients, both well and sick, and perform many in-office procedures. Prescribing medications, ordering and interpreting tests, hospital admitting and discharge privileges, and hospital rounding are just a few of the privileges falling within the scope of a nurse practitioner. The next question is what is so special about a nurse practitioner? The answer, for the most part, lies in the approach nurse practitioners take in their patient care. The physician typically uses a disease-based or problem-based approach meaning that the focus is more on diagnosing a problem and treating that problem."

Report abuse Transcript of Nurse Practitioner and Hospital Privileges History of Hospital Privileges • Credentialing and privileging were originally applicable only to physicians. • In the 1970s, Oregon was the first state to allow CNMs, and then NPs, hospital privileges. The law stated that NPs were subject to the credentialing institution’s bylaws and that a hospital could limit the scope of practice, require monitoring by physicians, or require that NPs co-admit with a physician. Since that time, many states have enacted similar legislation. • In 1983, the Joint Commission opened medical staff membership to non-physician health care professionals, including APRNs, whom the Commission referred to as “limited license practitioners.” • When specialization of physician practice and board certification gained acceptance and hospital accreditation became the norm, the need for a more specialized privileging process also arose. What does it mean to have hospital privileges?? Credentialing and privileging are two administrative processes that are intended to ensure that practitioners have the necessary qualifications to direct the clinical care provided to patients in hospitals. Hospital privileges, which used to be a simple matter, can now include a list of hundreds of diagnostic and treatment procedures."

"text": "How Much Does a Nurse Practitioner Make? Search For Schools Have RN? Yes No*sponsored For American workers seeking a growing field with competitive wages, high job satisfaction, and promising stability in the years to come, becoming a nurse practitioner can be an auspicious choice. Nurse practitioners (NPs)—advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who typically hold graduate degrees—collaborate with physicians and other healthcare providers and may specialize in a type of care (e.g., neonatal, adult-gerontological, women’s health, psychiatric mental health, midwifery, etc). Regardless of the subfield, one thing is for sure: of all employment sectors, healthcare is fastest growing and one of the highest paying. By illustration, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS 2015) reports that the five fastest growing industries in the country are all related to healthcare—home healthcare services and outpatient care centers among them—and openings for nurse practitioners are projected to swell 35 percent between 2014 and 2024 ( BLS 2015), much faster than the average growth projected for all occupations during that time period (7 percent). That equates to 37,100 new positions for NPs. Furthermore, nurse practitioners earn a mean annual salary of $97,990 ( BLS 2014), more than double the average salary for all occupations at $47,230 ( BLS 2015). Salaries for these healthcare professionals tend to vary by region, specialty, education, experience, and demand. Read on to discover how much NPs earn, as well as how NP salaries vary by experience, region, and specialty."

October 15, 2013 The Bookbag: Education 0 Comments One of the best things about entering the nurse practitioner career is that there are multiple ways to do so. Unfortunately, this also makes planning your NP education very confusing. Depending on where you are in your education, it will take varying amounts of time to become a nurse practitioner. The following outline will give you an idea of the time commitment required to become an NP depending on where you are in your educational path. I am currently a high school student... If you are currently a high school student, your first step on the NP career path is to complete an undergraduate degree in nursing (Bachelor's Degree in Nursing). You can expect this to take four years. Then, you need to attend a nurse practitioner program. A master's degree in nursing (MSN) program is the quickest route to becoming a fully certified NP. Completed on a full-time basis, these programs take about two years to complete."

"text": "Neonatal is one of the least pursued specializations in the nurse practitioner (NP) field, but one of its highest-paying. Indeed, of 3,812 respondents to a questionnaire from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) for its 2011 national compensation survey, just 1.6 percent of them said they were neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs). At the same time, these nurse practitioners reported receiving the highest base salary among eight specialty NP areas. But what do NNPs do? NNPs help provide care and treatment for infants in critical care intensive care units (ICUs), and also take on leadership roles due to their advanced graduate-level education. Their expertise might be put to use in Level II or Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which are for infants born prematurely or with moderate or severe illnesses. NPs go into this specialty area for a variety of reasons beyond just pay. A study published in the Journal of Nurse Practitioners called “ Neonatal Nurse Practitioners: Influencers on Career Choice ” (login required) shows that of 367 responding NNPs, 55 percent indicated that their decision to enter the neonatology field was based on interest in that patient population, while 26 percent said it was due to greater autonomy and the ability to offer comprehensive care. Starting Salary for Nurse Practitioners The majority of nurse practitioners have an average of 10 years of experience in nursing before deciding to pursue the education to become a nurse practitioner. In fact, 67 percent of respondents to the aforementioned survey published in the Journal for Nurse Practitioners indicated they made the decision to work as an advanced practice registered nurse in neonatology while actually practicing as a registered nurse."

"text": "Share this article: Have you ever wondered how much a nurse practitioner is worth? How much revenue do they generate every year, and how does this compare with their salary? The purpose of this post is to discuss the monetary value of nurse practitioners and what it means for hospitals and clinics who hire them. Because most nurse practitioners specialize and practice in primary care, we’ll focus on this specialty. Today, about 75 percent of nurse practitioners practice in primary care, compared with about 33 percent of physicians. The most recent compensation survey conducted by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) found that the average total income for a primary care nurse practitioner was around $108,000. In contrast, the average primary care physician earns $160,000, which is 48 percent more. Let’s Figure It Out To calculate the amount of revenue a primary care nurse practitioner can generate, I used the formula provided by Dr. Carolyn Buppert in Chapter 10 of her textbook, Nurse Practitioner’s Business Practice and Legal Guide, Fifth Edition: According to Dr. Buppert, primary care nurse practitioners see an average of 24 patients per day and are reimbursed an average of $70 per patient. In this scenario using Dr. Buppert’s formula, the nurse practitioner brings in $1,680 per day. Assuming a 90 percent collection rate and six weeks of time off, the primary care nurse practitioner brings in $347,760 per year."

"text": "A Family Nurse Practitioner, who may also be referred to by the acronym FNP, is a registered nurse with specialized educational and clinical training in family practice. Nurse practitioners have a higher degree of training, in both the classroom and clinical setting, than Registered Nurses do, although becoming an RN is a prerequisite. Family Nurse Practitioners in particular are trained to work with both children and adults, most often in the context of a family practice or clinical setting. FNPs work with patients on maintaining health and wellness over the long term with a particular focus on preventative care. Many FNPs also choose to work in underserved populations and communities. An FNP may work under the direct supervision of a physician. More and more states, however, are allowing FNPs to work independently due to an extreme lack of doctors, particularly in the area of family practice. What Does a Family Nurse Practitioner Do? A Family Nurse Practitioner received practical and educational experience in working with a variety of populations, since the patients at a family practice can be extremely diverse.

The fact that 17 states have legislated nurse practitioners the right to practice primary care medicine without physician oversight is very worrisome. There is a primary care crisis. We do need more primary care providers. Though nurse practitioners can fulfill some of the demand they cannot do so without doctor oversight.

However, current restrictions on nurse practitioners, particularly prescription regulations for controlled substances, limit what practitioners can do for patients. These restrictions also increase wait times for patients and have the potential to increase liability claims as physicians prescribe medications for patients they have not adequately evaluated. Nurse practitioners have proven to be a safe, quality, and cost saving approach to primary care. To meet the growing needs for patients, nurse practitioners must have the ability to prescribe controlled substances in all 50 states. The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will provide many more Americans access to health care. The ACA will reduce the cost of receiving health care, while also enabling uninsured Americans access to insurance and more affordable healthcare. The Act will \"\"promote prevention, wellness, and the public health\"\" (Legislative Counsel, 2010, p. 463). Although the ACA will increase accessibility to primary care and prevention of diseases, there must be an adequate number of healthcare providers who can see these patients. The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates a shortage of 46,000 primary care physicians by the year 2025 (Rouston, 2010)."

This has been a controversial issue for nurses since January 2004, when the site-marking requirements of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations became effective. The Board has not issued an advisory opinion or formal statement. Site marking is determined by each facility’s policy. Q. Is it within the scope of practice of the licensed nurse to give out drug samples? A Giving out drug samples is considered dispensing. The dispensing of medication is outside of the scope of practice of the licensed nurse. It is within the scope of practice of the licensed nurse to hand a patient pre-packaged pharmaceutical samples with the original label and packaging intact or a medication that a physician or pharmacist has appropriately repackaged and labeled from a bulk container and following the guidelines provided: 1) Establish a policy and approved procedure to include the following points: • An order must be written by the physician for the medication and if samples are going to be utilized the nurse may obtain the medications from the location in which they are stored.

"text": "Date: December 5, 2013Author: Karen Born, Christopher Doig & Sachin Pendharkar Share this article Integrating Physician Assistants in Canada After several decades working in the Canadian military, Physician Assistants (PAs) are being introduced into provincial health care systems. This year, Alberta launched a two-year demonstration project to integrate PAs into selected clinical practices. About a decade ago ago, PAs were introduced in Manitoba and Ontario. In Ontario, PAs were part of Ontario’s broader health human resources strategy to give Ontarians “access to the right number and mix of qualified health care providers”. The work of a PA is clear from their name – they support physicians in a wide range of health care settings. The decision about the extent of clinical work PAs can do is determined by the supervising physicians’ assessment of their clinical competencies, skills and experiences in a particular setting. PAs are trained to take detailed medical histories, conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat some illnesses, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and counsel patients on preventative health. However, what PAs do in practice varies depending on the setting they work in, their experience and physician supervisor. PAs work in many different settings – from hospital emergency departments and operating rooms to community family medicine practices. The introduction of PAs has been hailed as important in ensuring better access to health care services through their role as a “ physician-extender “."

"text": "A psychiatric nurse practitioner is a highly trained nurse, with at minimum a master’s degree in psychiatric- mental health nursing, and sometimes a doctorate in these studies. Need for these specialists is growing since they can work in many of the same ways that psychiatrists work, and yet they are typically less expensive to employ. This downgrade in pay shouldn’t convince anyone that the work nurse practitioners do is less expert than that of psychiatrists. They tend to be very skilled and their masters or doctoral work has focused on diagnosing and treating mental illnesses, with lots of clinical practice. Nurse practitioners typically begin as registered nurses, though it is possible to find some bachelors to nurse practitioner MS degree programs. These are not that common however. It is usually presumed that the practitioner first has been trained as a registered nurse. Licensing for these practitioners, due to the fact they can often prescribe medications, may be different from state to state and in varied countries. Ad There are many things that a psychiatric nurse practitioner can do, and many areas in which he or she can work. In direct patient care, which could take place in offices, hospitals or care facilities, this nurse specialist can give counseling, determine diagnosis of mental illness, and prescribe medications accordingly."

"text": "These are the reasons why nurse practitioners are special Kim Sakovich, WHNP | Physician | September 15, 20122KShare Tweet Share By now most of us have heard of a nurse practitioner. But what exactly is a nurse practitioner? What can they do? How can they be incorporated into a medical practice? A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed graduate-level education and advanced practice training. Nurse practitioners can see a wide range of patients, both well and sick, and perform many in-office procedures. Prescribing medications, ordering and interpreting tests, hospital admitting and discharge privileges, and hospital rounding are just a few of the privileges falling within the scope of a nurse practitioner. The next question is what is so special about a nurse practitioner? The answer, for the most part, lies in the approach nurse practitioners take in their patient care. The physician typically uses a disease-based or problem-based approach meaning that the focus is more on diagnosing a problem and treating that problem."

It is an integral part of the assessment and planning cycle and a firm basis for reflection. In any high-quality setting, observation is recognised as a fundamental and crucial aspect of the practitioner's role and, as such, is given high priority in terms of training and everyday practice. Observation is about watching children's actions, expressions, gestures and behaviours, and listening to their talk and interactions. Sometimes it is about joining in with their play or conversations and sometimes about asking and responding to questions. Always, it requires a sensitive and respectful approach to children's play and an attitude of openness to the individual's learning agenda. Why do we observe? There are many good reasons why adults observe children in their care and the reason may influence the nature of the observation in terms of who is observed/observing, where the observation takes place and at what time of the day or session. However, although specific reasons for observation may be varied, the general purpose will be to find out more about:* a child or group of children; or* the effectiveness of provision. The ultimate and overarching aim of observations is to enable practitioners to plan an appropriate curriculum, providing for the full range of needs within the setting. ("

"text": "Share this article: Have you ever wondered how much a nurse practitioner is worth? How much revenue do they generate every year, and how does this compare with their salary? The purpose of this post is to discuss the monetary value of nurse practitioners and what it means for hospitals and clinics who hire them. Because most nurse practitioners specialize and practice in primary care, we’ll focus on this specialty. Today, about 75 percent of nurse practitioners practice in primary care, compared with about 33 percent of physicians. The most recent compensation survey conducted by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) found that the average total income for a primary care nurse practitioner was around $108,000. In contrast, the average primary care physician earns $160,000, which is 48 percent more. Let’s Figure It Out To calculate the amount of revenue a primary care nurse practitioner can generate, I used the formula provided by Dr. Carolyn Buppert in Chapter 10 of her textbook, Nurse Practitioner’s Business Practice and Legal Guide, Fifth Edition: According to Dr. Buppert, primary care nurse practitioners see an average of 24 patients per day and are reimbursed an average of $70 per patient. In this scenario using Dr. Buppert’s formula, the nurse practitioner brings in $1,680 per day. Assuming a 90 percent collection rate and six weeks of time off, the primary care nurse practitioner brings in $347,760 per year."

I’d like to thank all those readers of The Health Care Blog (THCB) for their comments. Thank you to all the doctors for sharing their viewpoints and their voice. While many comments were indeed honest, they certainly were strong opinions and the readers did not hold back their feelings. While some comments were rather harsh, I commend those readers for commenting. It was disconcerting that more nurses did not comment; however what’s more worrisome is the fact that a key nursing organization, American Association of Colleges of Nursing did not respond to my request as well as Yale University, which is one of the many universities offering a DNP program. While some readers of THCB feel this issue is “stupid” it is indeed a real issue that nurse practitioners and doctors will be dealing with."

From March 2005 Nurses will be expected to have a professional portfolio to demonstrate competence in order to obtain an Annual Practising Certificate. A number of health professional groups are covered by the Act including Chiropractors, Dentists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Optometrists. ( NB. In the early stages the Bill was referred to as the Health Professionals (not Practitioners) Competence Assurance Bill so you may see it referred to as that)Why the Act? Mainly a response to recent very public examples of medical error A response to demands from lobbyists to make health professionals more accountable and respect health care consumers’ rights An attempt to streamline some of the bureaucratic processes by having main health professional groups under one piece of legislation A need to update legislation like the 1977 Nurses’ Act New Law Brings Major Changes by Teresa O'Connor (October) Kai Tiaki Volume 9: No 10, page 11Changes to registration processes Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ)Members of NCNZ will be appointed by the Minister of Health not chosen by the profession.

The Board has not issued an advisory opinion or formal statement. Site marking is determined by each facility’s policy. Q.

The dispensing of medication is outside of the scope of practice of the licensed nurse.

Great nurses are highly in-demand and needed at every level in the healthcare industry. Thus, becoming a nursing major prepares you for a wide variety of professional opportunities in health-related fields. Regardless of where they work, nurses must be compassionate, responsible, and detail-oriented. They must be willing to take control of stressful situations and to ask for assistance when necessary. Nurses should also possess an emotional stability that enables them to handle emergency situations and to be engaged with emotional and physical suffering, illness, and injury. Nursing degrees help provide these future healthcare professionals with the faculties of sound judgment, enabling them to assess and evaluate the conditions of patients. Those who are natural leaders and are able to manage teams of other nurses can advance their careers into leadership roles. Nurses may be eligible for higher-paying jobs as they earn more advanced degrees and receive specialized training."

According to the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP), they reach million of patients annually and spend one-on-one time with patients, treating common illnesses and listening to descriptions of symptoms, just as pediatric physicians might do. In fact, the NAPNAP reports that 51 percent of its members spend anywhere from 16 to 20 minutes with a patient during a typical appointment. Furthermore, just 8.3 percent of all NPs choose a specialty focus in pediatrics (primary care), according to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), meaning that there could be many opportunities available for nurses interested this advanced practice field. What Does a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Do? According to Vanderbilt University’s School of Nursing, pediatric nurse practitioners provide compassionate and high quality care to children of all ages, ranging from birth up to the age of 21. They work in a variety of settings, including health care clinics and physician offices, and help prevent disease, promote health, and educate family members on plans of care. Specific services they may provide, include: Childhood immunizations Developmental screenings Medication prescriptions in some states, depending upon law School physicals Treatment of common illnesses Well-child exams They work hand-in-hand with pediatricians and other healthcare providers. In fact, as the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ College of Nursing notes, the PNP essentially “fills” the role that falls between that of a nurse and the pediatrician and, in a pediatrician’s office, can see and treat children by themselves, without supervision, or, when warranted, turn to a pediatrician for further assistance. PNPs also might conduct home visits, and because of their graduate-level education, be involved in research or take on leadership roles to affect public policy."

It also differentiates the focus of nursing from other professions. They serve to guide assessment, intervention, and evaluation of nursing care. They provide a rationale for collecting reliable and valid data about the health status of clients, which are essential for effective decision making and implementation. They help to establish criteria to measure the quality of nursing care. They help build a common nursing terminology to use in communicating with other health professionals.

While the emphasis of this article is on compassion fatigue and its theoretical conceptualization, the concepts of burnout and vicarious traumatization are also discussed. Two questions are posed for discussion: 1) Does compassion fatigue exist on a continuum of occupational stress? If so, is burnout a pre-condition for compassion fatigue; 2) What are the relationships between the types of occupational stress? To what extent does non-resolution of compassion fatigue increase the risk for developing vicarious traumatization? Case examples are provided to support this discussion.

"text": "\"Application of Theory in Nursing Process This page was last updated on January 28, 2012Introduction Theories are a set of interrelated concepts that give a systematic view of a phenomenon (an observable fact or event) that is explanatory & predictive in nature. Theories are composed of concepts, definitions, models, propositions & are based on assumptions. They are derived through two principal methods; deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning. Objectivesto assess the patient condition by the various methods explained by the nursing theoryto identify the needs of the patientto demonstrate an effective communication and interaction with the patient.to select a theory for the application according to the need of the patientto apply the theory to solve the identified problems of the patientto evaluate the extent to which the process was fruitful. Definition Nursing theory is an organized and systematic articulation of a set of statements related to questions in the discipline of nursing. \"\" A nursing theory is a set of concepts, definitions, relationships, and assumptions or propositions derived from nursing models or from other disciplines and project a purposive, systematic view of phenomena by designing specific inter-relationships among concepts for the purposes of describing, explaining, predicting, and /or prescribing. \"\" Characteristics of a Useful Theory [Robert T. Croyle (2005)]A useful theory makes assumptions about a behavior, health problem, target population, or environment that are: Logical Consistent with everyday observations Similar to those used in previous successful programs and Supported by past research in the same area or related ideas. Importance of nursing theories Nursing theory aims to describe, predict and explain the phenomenon of nursing It should provide the foundations of nursing practice, help to generate further knowledge and indicate in which direction nursing should develop in the future. Theory is important because it helps us to decide what we know and what we need to know It helps to distinguish what should form the basis of practice by explicitly describing nursing. The benefits of having a defined body of theory in nursing include better patient care, enhanced professional status for nurses, improved communication between nurses, and guidance for research and education The main exponent of nursing – caring – cannot be measured, it is vital to have the theory to analyze and explain what nurses do As medicine tries to make a move towards adopting a more multidisciplinary approach to health care, nursing continues to strive to establish a unique body of knowledge This can be seen as an attempt by the nursing profession to maintain its professional boundaries Evolution of Nursing Theories & Application The history of professional nursing begins with Florence nightingale."

"text": "\"Q: Are you sure nurses are autonomous? Based on what I've seen, it sure looks like physicians are calling the shots. A: Nursing is an autonomous, self-governing profession, a distinct scientific discipline with many autonomous practice features. Despite what the media may portray, nursing is not directed by physicians, even though nurses have less practical power than physicians do. In addition to extensive medical expertise, nurses have a unique, holistic patient advocacy focus, a unique scope of practice, and a unique body of knowledge, including special expertise in areas such as patient education, wound care and pain management. Nursing is clearly an autonomous and distinct scientific discipline. For entry into practice, nurses are educated by nursing scholars typically in nursing degree programs lasting two or four years at universities and colleges, using textbooks authored by those scholars, many of whom are at the forefront of health care research. About 10,000 U. S. nurses have Ph D's in nursing (another 10,000 nurses have Ph. D.'s in other health-related fields and work in nursing), and close to 380,000 U. S. nurses have master's degrees in nursing. These nurses--not physicians--are the theoretical and practical leaders of the nursing profession."

To achieve this I will explain what reflection practice is using models of reflection; evaluate theories of personal development - what they are and how they are used. Discuss how reflective practice benefits communication skills and in turn influence our knowledge of nursing care. What is reflection? In scientific terms reflection is seen as light, heat or sound striking a surface to give off a reflection (Darlene 2006). Reflection is also seen as philosophical understanding of how one can gain knowledge through experience and use different approaches to the same scenario (ref). Reflection can be described as; meditation, deep thinking and or giving careful considerations to possibilities and opinions of a given situation (Mcferran and Martin 2008)."

"text": "Custom Student Mr. Teacher ENG 1001-047 May 2016Ethical Theories of Nursing When a person meets the unfortunate circumstance of being admitted to a hospital for an illness they are depending on healthcare personnel to have their best interest in mind and make them better. When people think of who it is taking care of them and making them better they specifically think of Doctors and Nurses. As Doctors and more specifically Registered Nurses it is their duty to have a client’s best interest in mind and always act in their benefit. This raises the question, what guides Nurses to maintain this mindset of always putting the patient first? The answer is their ethical duty, meaning every nurse is guided by ethical theories and principles which help guide them as a patient advocate. It is these ethics that make a nurse so valuable to clients and ultimately makes a nurse the client’s best advocate. In this paper the core ethical theories and principles will be discussed and how exactly this helps RN’s be the best possible advocate and what benefits the clients themselves derive from these ethical theories. In order to properly understand the ethical theories of nursing one must first know what the core ethical principles and theories in nursing are. The ethical principles of nursing are Autonomy, Beneficence, Fidelity, Informed consent, Integrity, Justice, Nonmaleficence, Paternalism, Veracity, as well as Privacy and confidentiality. Some ethical theories that influence nursing practice are Consequentialism, Deontology, Ethical Relativism, Utilitarianism theory, Teleology, Virtue ethics, and Justice and equity."

While at Ohio State, her book, Toward a Theory for Nursing: General Concepts of Human Behavior (1971), was published.

Although often modified (either by including staffing as a management function or renaming elements), these functions or activities have changed little over time. Eventually, theorists began to refer to these functions as the management process. The management process, with brief descriptions of the five functions for each phase of the management process follow: 1.) Planning encompasses determining philosophy, goals, objectives, policies, procedures, and rules; carrying out long- and short-range projections; determining a fiscal course of action; and managing planned change. 2.) Organizing includes establishing the structure to carry out plans, determining the most appropriate type of patient care delivery, and grouping activities to meet unit goals.

The primary duties of this person include designing safety programs, creating and maintaining safety forms, conducting program monitoring and training, and giving safety reports. The role of a safety officer was created to comply with certain regulations put forth by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). OSHA is a division of the US government which is managed by the Department of Labor. It is designed to ensure employers provide safe working environments for their employees and meet various health and safety regulations during operations. The occupational health and safety officer serves as the liaison between the employer and OSHA. Most safety programs in place within a company are created by this person. This task may be as simple as taking a basic fire safety plan and customizing it to suit the company's needs. It can also be as complicated as designing detailed safety programs from scratch for company specific practices, such as bio- hazardous waste disposal."

Section 19 of the OSH Act makes federal agency heads responsible for providing safety and healthful working conditions. Although OSHA does not fine federal agencies, it does monitor them and conducts inspections in response to workers’ reports of hazards."

This is an important way to mainstream OSH into business management. Key performance indicators (KPIs) should provide objective data on the OSH situation. It is often said that ‘what gets measured gets managed’. Without information on OSH performance, no adequate feedback on actions and policies is available. The paper gives examples of relevant OSH KPIs. The most frequently used KPIs reflect past performance rather than future performance. There is therefore an increasing interest in so-called ‘leading indicators’. Key performance indicators for OSHThe field of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) comprises a variety of risks that need to be managed."

"text": "\"Contributions of Medical Surveillance Preventing occupationally derived medical disorders saves on health insurance costs, benefiting employees and employers who share the burden of costly premiums. By Rod W. Amacher May 01, 2007AMID concern for profit and production, employee health is often overlooked in the occupational setting. One method of maintaining worker health is through the implementation of work site medical surveillance, which is the endeavor to ensure continued medical fitness of a worker through periodic examination and diagnostic processes. Several recent accounts of negligence in medical surveillance are offered. On-site services usually are driven by workforce population size and become an affordable option for businesses employing 200 or more employees. In 2001, OSHA cited an Alabama coke plant for lack of proper surveillance for exposure to coke oven emissions and benzene (Martin, 2001). In 2000, a fuel company in Rochester, N. Y., was cited in part for neglect in administering medical evaluations to employees to assess asbestos exposure, resulting in $126,000 in fines (\"\"Asbestos Violations,\"\" 2000). In 2000, failure to administer both audiometric testing for noise exposure and evaluations for respirator user fitness, along with other actions, resulted in penalties of $127,620 for a fabricated aluminum goods manufacturer in Hamden, Conn. (\"\"Health Violations,\"\" 2000). After receiving prior warning, a metal reclamation company in New Jersey in 2001 continued to allow employees to be exposed to lead and other metals without implementing proper medical surveillance controls; OSHA penalized the company with $102,000 in fines (Foran, 2001). And in a substantial action in 2001, OSHA cited a carbon steel pipe manufacturer in Baytown, Texas, for failing to properly record occupationally related illnesses and injuries."

Depending on use and design, basements, attics, tunnels, and crawl space of various types also could be classified as confined spaces. Confined spaces have been the basis for myth, mystery, and deadly mayhem for decades, often because of the unexpectedness of the hazards and because of the repeated multiple chain of deaths for entrants and would-be rescuers. Stories abound of some individual entering an excavation site and collapsing. Rescuers, thinking the downed person has had a heart attack or similar debilitating health event, enter, only to lose consciousness, too. On many occasions, multiple entries are made unsuccessfully until it becomes obvious the location is the cause of the problem, not pre-existing health conditions. At an excavation site there could be an accumulation of toxic gases or a displacement of oxygen by various sources."

A health and safety program is a definite plan of action designed to prevent accidents and occupational diseases. Some form of a program is required under occupational health and safety legislation in most Canadian jurisdictions. A health and safety program must include the elements required by the health and safety legislation as a minimum. Because organizations differ, a program developed for one organization cannot necessarily be expected to meet the needs of another. This document summarizes the general elements of a health and safety program. This approach should help smaller organizations to develop programs to deal with their specific needs. What is a policy statement? An organization's occupational health and safety policy is a statement of principles and general rules that serve as guides for action.

Title I of the ADA covers employment by private employers with 15 or more employees as well as state and local government employers of the same size. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act provides the same protections for federal employees and applicants for federal employment. The ADA protects a qualified individual with a disability from disparate treatment or harassment based on disability, and also provides that, absent undue hardship, a qualified individual with a disability is entitled to reasonable accommodation to perform, or apply for, a job or to enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment. The ADA also includes rules regarding when, and to what extent, employers may seek medical information from applicants or employees. The U. S.

"text": "An oceanographer is a trained scientist who studies the various physical properties and processes of oceans. He or she might study the chemical composition of ocean water samples or investigate physical changes in tides and currents. Scientists may track the movement of minerals and sediments, analyze seismic and volcanic activity, or survey ocean floors. An oceanographer can find employment with a private research institution, university, government agency, or environmental organization. An oceanographer often specializes in chemical, physical, or geological oceanography. Chemical oceanographers collect and analyze samples of water, sediments, and marine plants to better understand their chemical structures. Scientists might determine how pollution changes the chemical composition of ocean water, and the greater effects pollution may have on plants and animals. They may also investigate samples from many different areas to understand the movement of different minerals and chemicals over time and space. A physical oceanographer studies the visible makeup of ocean sediments, changes in tides and pressure, and the effects of different natural processes. Scientists might track currents and temperature changes to determine how and why certain weather patterns emerge."

"text": "What does an oceanographer do? An oceanographer studies the ocean. Several thousand marine scientists are busy at work in the United States dealing with a diversity of important issues — from climate change, declining fisheries, and eroding coastlines, to the development of new drugs from marine resources and the invention of new technologies to explore the sea. Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. Just as there are many specialties within the medical field, there are many disciplines within oceanography. Biological oceanographers and marine biologists study plants and animals in the marine environment. They are interested in the numbers of marine organisms and how these organisms develop, relate to one another, adapt to their environment, and interact with it. To accomplish their work, they may use field observations, computer models, or laboratory and field experiments. Chemical oceanographers and marine chemists study the composition of seawater, its processes and cycles, and the chemical interaction of seawater with the atmosphere and seafloor. Their work may include analysis of seawater components, the effects of pollutants, and the impacts of chemical processes on marine organisms."

By Livescience.com, staff | June 11, 2014 12:05am ETMORECredit: NASA“Earth science” is a broad term that encompasses four main branches of study, each of which is further broken down into more specialized fields. Geology Geology is the study of the substances that make up the Earth, the processes that shape it, and of how these materials and processes have changed the Earth over time. Geology is very important as everything we do depends on our relationship to the planet we live on. Two important subfields of geology are vulcanology (the study of volcanoes), and seismology (the study of earthquakes). Understanding these processes can help enable us to predict and mitigate the effects of natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, major quakes, tsunamis and landslides. Geologists are also at the forefront of the quest for natural resources such as oil, natural gas, and other raw materials. Hydrologists study the availability and distribution of the Earth’s freshwater resources including both surface water and aquifers. Physical geography is the study of the Earth’s landforms. Paleontologists are interested in Earth’s history."

Professionals utilize their knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of seawater to solve problems related to ocean research and transportation. An ocean engineer might specialize in designing ships, complex measuring instruments, oil rigs, or large systems used to desalinate seawater or provide hydroelectric power. Engineers work in many different industries and settings, including oil companies, environmental protection agencies, and military branches. Ocean engineers usually work in offices or laboratories, researching different types of existing marine equipment and determining the need for new technology. Working with a team of other marine specialists, an ocean engineer creates blueprints and schematics for new equipment and vehicles using computer-aided design ( CAD) software. He or she puts designs through simulated computer tests to determine their effectiveness, and then oversees the construction of models and prototypes. Once a design is approved, the engineer helps to coordinate large-scale manufacture. Many professionals engage in the research and development of instruments that are used to test ocean depths, composition, and temperature. An engineer who works for a private company might be involved in the construction of new ships and ports, while an engineer employed by a government or military agency might design submarines, radar systems, underwater communications systems, or missiles."

In their experiment, the underwater bell was struck simultaneously with ignition of gunpowder on the first boat. The sound of the bell and flash from the gunpowder were observed 10 miles away on the second boat. The time between the gunpowder flash and the sound reaching the second boat was used to calculate the speed of sound in water.

A person who would like to become a biological oceanographer needs to complete at least four years of college training, although an additional two to six years of graduate-level schooling will best prepare him or her for the field. This type of professional should have strong research experience and be good at managing projects. If you want to become a biological oceanographer, you need to earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in the area of biological oceanography or marine biology. Colleges require that you provide a copy of results from recently taken standardized tests along with a high school transcript or the equivalent certification. You also should be prepared to submit your transcript of high school courses and fill out an enrollment form to begin training to become a biological oceanographer. Ad After acceptance to an institution, you must take a variety of classes that introduce you to the details of marine life. For instance, you should study how organisms in the sea adapt for survival purposes and how ocean predators play a major role in controlling the population of various water species. These concepts are important if you wish to become a biological oceanographer because these types of professionals focus on how organisms in the water grow and interact with one another."

This feature can be found all around the world, and it represents the final stage in the boundary between continents and the deepest part of the ocean. The environment in the continental rise is quite unique, and many oceanographers study it extensively in the hopes of learning more about the ocean and geologic history. Before delving into specifics, it can help to have a quick overview of the major features of the ocean floor, starting with the continental shelf, a relatively shallow area of water which forms a transition between the elevated land of the continents and the open ocean. At a certain depth, the continental shelf begins to drop sharply, forming a feature called the continental slope. Unlike the continental shelf, the continental slope is rather steep, and geologists suspect that it may mark an earlier sea level in Earth's history. At the bottom of the continental slope, one will find the continental rise, an underwater hill composed of tons of accumulated sediments. Beyond this stretches the abyssal plain, an extremely flat area of the sea floor which is also incredibly deep. The abyssal plain hosts many unique life forms which are uniquely adapted to survival in its cold, high pressure, and dark conditions. The flatness of the abyssal plain is interrupted by massive underwater mountain chains near the tectonic boundaries of the Earth's plates."

"text": "\"Articles The East Australian Current The East Australian Current The East Australian Current is the largest ocean current close to the coasts of Australia, generating and enriching life on the driest continent. With its source in the tropical Coral Sea, north-east of Queensland, the East Australian Current (EAC) moves a substantial volume of low-nutrient tropical water south down the Australian coastline towards the temperate regions, with ocean eddies peeling off into the Tasman Sea on the way. Few Australians realise the EAC is especially relevant to their lifestyle and livelihood - renewing fish stocks and aiding fisheries sustainability; dispersing effluent and marine pollution from coastal cities and renewing water quality; providing a \"\"comfortable\"\" water temperature for beachgoers, swimmers and surfers; and for assisting yachts sailing south in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. The Life of a Current One of the earliest European records of an ocean currrent off the Australian coast was made by Captain James Cook on his South Pacific voyage of discovery. In his log of 15 May, 1770 when nearing Cape Byron, he wrote: \"\"Winds southerly, a fresh gale'. Searching for more sea room, he headed offshore until, \"\"having increased our soundings to 78 fathoms, we wore and lay with her head in shore until 5 o'clock a.m., when we made sail. At daylight we were surprised by finding ourselves father to the southward than we were in the evening, and yet it has blown all night southerly\"\". Cook reported a southgoing current of less than a knot from his noon latitude fixes ever since he started sailing inshore and northward along the New South Wales coast. Near Cape Byron, he had probably met the full force of the East Australian Current. With current speeds of up to five knots, the EAC is a major current system."

"text": "\"Ocean-Floor Sediments Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Sediment on the seafloor originates from a variety of sources, including biota from the overlying ocean water, eroded material from land transported to the ocean by rivers or wind, ash from volcanoes, and chemical precipitates derived directly from sea water. A very small amount of it even originates as interstellar dust. In short, the particles found in sediment on the seafloor vary considerably in composition and record a complex interplay of processes that have acted to form, transport, and preserve them. Geological oceanographers have coined the terms \"\"terrigenous\"\" to describe those sediments derived from eroded material on land, \"\"biogenic\"\" for those derived from biological matter, \"\"volcanogenic\"\" for those that include significant amounts of ash, \"\"hydrogenous\"\" for those that precipitate directly from sea water, and \"\"cosmogenic\"\" for those that come from interstellar space. The seafloor, however, is not a random arrangement of these different sediment types. Oceanographers have painstakingly mapped the distribution of sediment around the globe and have learned that at any given location the sediments provide important information regarding the history of the ocean as well as the overall state of climate on the Earth's surface. By studying how the heterogeneous composition of sediment varies as a function of geographic location and age, oceanographers are able to document the geologic and climatic conditions that are responsible for that sediment. Oceanographers study sediment by taking long cylindrical cores, which individually can be as long as 18 to 30 meters (60 to 98 feet). Because the bottom of the ocean is extremely cold (only 1 to 3 degrees above freezing), the cores are stored in refrigerators onboard the research ship prior to being stored in large refrigerated repositories at shore-based laboratories. In their laboratories, scientists study the physical, chemical, and biological makeup of the sediment."

Hence, there are some certainties, but many questions remain. Ocean acidification is also a multi-disciplinary research area that encompasses topics such as chemistry, paleontology, biology, ecology, biogeochemistry, modeling, and social sciences. Furthermore, some aspects of ocean acidification research, for example the carbonate chemistry, are intricate and counterintuitive. For these reasons, the media and the general public find some scientific issues or results confusing. The U. S. Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry ( OCB) program, supported by the European Project on Ocean Acidification ( EPOCA) and the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme , has compiled a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs). These questions were widely distributed to the research community with the request to draft concise replies summarizing current knowledge, yet avoiding jargon. The replies were then subject to an open peer-review and revision process to ensure readability without any loss of scientific accuracy. The response of the community was enthusiastic."

I know they treat cancer patients... but what do they do?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I'm an oncologist, a medical oncologist specifically. I provide chemotherapy, but most of what I do involves helping people deal with cancer (medical problems, symptoms, emotional/spiritual issues, etc). in an average day, about 20% of my patients are receiving chemotherapy. Others need help dealing with pain, nausea, etc due to cancer for which there is no curative therapy. Happily many patients are in remission and come back for routine reassessments. Oncology can be emotionally hard but is incredibly rewarding."

These sorts of professionals can do a number of different things and can have very different job descriptions depending on their specialties, interests, and training. Most work with a specific type of cancer, and may even focus on treating certain ages of people. Some work directly with patients undergoing treatments and spend most of their time designing drug regimens and plans for fighting the illness; others are more involved on the post-cancer side, guiding patients through remission and managing care to watch for recurrences. Professionals in this discipline may also be involved in research, usually developing new treatments or evaluating new drugs. No matter the day-to-day specifics, though, people in this field usually have the same core training and the same ultimate goal of fighting and, ultimately, curing cancer. Understanding the Specialty as a Whole Oncology is the study and treatment of cancer and tumors in various parts of the body.

What Is Stage 3 Lung Cancer? Why Is a Blood Test Necessary to Find Cancer Markers? Full Answer While not recommended as a sole diagnostic tool, when utilized in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, tumor markers are useful for detecting the presence of cancer. Tumor markers are commonly used for screening high-risk individuals for particular types of cancer, since tumor markers may, in some cases, show up in the blood prior to any symptoms being experienced, notes the American Society of Clinical Oncology. In addition, tumor marker tests can help confirm a diagnosis of cancer when used with other types of diagnostic testing; they can also steer the course of treatment. For example, doctors may use a tumor marker test to decide whether to add therapies like immunotherapy or chemotherapy to the treatment plan or determine if the therapies are working, states the American Society of Clinical Oncology."

A doctor who specializes in oncology is called an oncologist. Oncology involves a huge range of study. Since cancer can occur in so many of the body's systems, many doctors choose to specialize in a particular branch of it, such as bone cancer or blood diseases. Some doctors specialize in chemotherapy treatments, while others focus on radiation therapy. Most doctors who specialize in oncology serve internships and residencies that focus on cancer treatment, usually in their preferred branch of therapy.

An open circulatory system describes a system where blood and interstitial fluid are allowed to mix in an organism. Interstitial fluid is just the fluid found between cells in the body. So, what does this mean? Organisms that utilize an open circulatory system don't have 'true' blood since it is mixed with other fluids."

Flag Which organ system does the heart belong to and why? Answer by Casper120 Confidence votes 23The circulatory system includes the heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, and blood. The heart functions as a muscular pump that helps force blood through the blood vessels. The blood serves as a fluid for transporting gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes. It carries oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from the digestive organs to all body cells, where these substances are used in metabolic processes. The blood also transports hormones from various endocrine glands to their target tissues, and carries wastes from body cells to the excretory organs, where the wastes are removed from the blood and released to the outside.

Find out why different kinds of animals have different systems, and see what a closed circulatory system and indoor plumbing have in common. Nutrients and Waste in the Body All living things must take in nutrients and expel waste products. In the case of animal cells, this means that they must take in carbohydrates and oxygen, and release carbon dioxide. Illustration of an animal cell In single-celled organisms that live in water, this can be accomplished by transport across the cell wall. But what about multicellular organisms where not all cells come in contact with the outside environment? And what about animals that live on land and can't just absorb nutrients from their surrounding environment? These animals must find a way to distribute nutrients to every cell in their body, and the bigger and more complex the organism, the more difficult this task becomes. So it shouldn't be too surprising that many different types of distribution systems are found in various animals, depending on their size, complexity and the environment they live in. Gastrovascular Cavities Some of the simplest multicellular organisms are cnidarians."

"text": "\"Difference Between Circulatory System and Lymphatic System Posted on September 19, 2011 by admin Last updated on: September 19, 2011Circulatory System vs Lymphatic System The circulatory system is the most important system of the body as it ensures the exchange of substances between all the tissues of the body and the external environment, and the transport of various substances from one bodily organ to another. William Harvey was the first who discovered the function of heart and the circulation of blood. He stated that the heart was a pumping organ provided with valves, to maintain the flow of blood only in one direction; that blood was distributed to the organs by means of deep laying vessels, which he called arteries, and the blood was returned to the heart by more superficial vessels called veins, which still holds true. This system is now called the cardiovascular system. However, there is another system that works in close co-ordination with the cardiovascular system, which is the lymphatic system. These two together form the Circulatory System. Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is a network of vessels just as the cardiovascular system but lacks a pumping heart, and consist of only type of vessels with valves and nodes at certain places like the armpit, thymus, spleen and neck. The fluid circulating in these is called the lymph, which, actually, is derived from blood plasma forced out of the blood vessels. However, it is devoid of any red blood cells and blood proteins. Lymph accumulates in the interstitial spaces as the interstitial fluid."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 42 - Circulation and Gas Exchange Printer Friendly Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange Lecture Outline Overview: Trading with the Environment Every organism must exchange materials and energy with its environment, and this exchange ultimately occurs at the cellular level. Cells live in aqueous environments. The resources that they need, such as nutrients and oxygen, move across the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm. Metabolic wastes, such as carbon dioxide, move out of the cell. Most animals have organ systems specialized for exchanging materials with the environment, and many have an internal transport system that conveys fluid (blood or interstitial fluid) throughout the body. For aquatic organisms, structures such as gills present an expansive surface area to the outside environment. Oxygen dissolved in the surrounding water diffuses across the thin epithelium covering the gills and into a network of tiny blood vessels (capillaries). At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses out into the water. Concept 42.1 Circulatory systems reflect phylogeny Diffusion alone is not adequate for transporting substances over long distances in animals—for example, for moving glucose from the digestive tract and oxygen from the lungs to the brain of a mammal. Diffusion is insufficient over distances of more than a few millimeters, because the time it takes for a substance to diffuse from one place to another is proportional to the square of the distance."

U. S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Wyatt Huggett/Flickr/CC BY 2.0by Nicholas Mc Laren Updated June 18, 2017Also known as \"\"the bends\"\" and Caisson Disease, decompression sickness affects divers or other people (such as miners) exposed to rapid changes in air pressure. In recent years, the medical term decompression illness has gained more traction—the term is technically more precise than decompression sickness , but it relates to the same condition. DCS, as it is commonly known, is caused by a build-up of nitrogen gas in the bloodstream. When we breathe at sea level, approximately 79 percent of the air we're breathing is nitrogen. As we descend in water, the pressure around our bodies increases at the rate of one unit of atmosphere for every 33 feet of depth, causing nitrogen to be forced from the bloodstream and into adjacent tissues. This process is not actually harmful and it's quite possible for the body to continue to absorb nitrogen until it reaches a point called saturation, which is the point at which the pressure in the tissues equals the surrounding pressure. Decompression Safety The problem arises when the nitrogen in the tissue needs to be released. To remove the nitrogen slowly from the body—a process called off-gassing— a diver must ascend at a slow, controlled rate and carry out decompression stops if necessary; this hovering in the water allows the nitrogen to slowly seep out of the body tissues and return to the bloodstream, where it's released from the body through the lungs. If a diver ascends too fast, the residual nitrogen in the tissues expands too quickly and forms gas bubbles."

"text": "\"What Nurses Stand For Sitcoms satirize them, the media ignore them, doctors won't listen to them, and now hospitals are laying them off, sacrificing them to corporate medicine -- yet their contribution to patients and families is beyond price. Suzanne Gordon February 1997 Issue Share Tweet…Linked In Email Print Text Size AT four o'clock on a Friday afternoon the hematology-oncology clinic at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital is quiet. Paddy Connelly and Frances Kiel, two of the eleven nurses who work in the unit, sit at the nurses' station -- an island consisting of two long desks equipped with phones, which ring constantly, and computers. They are encircled by thirteen blue-leather reclining chairs, in which patients may spend only a brief time, for a short chemotherapy infusion, or an entire afternoon, to receive more complicated chemotherapy or blood products. At one of the chairs Nancy Rumplik is starting to administer chemotherapy to a man in his mid-fifties who has colon cancer. Rumplik is forty-two and has been a nurse on the unit for seven years. She stands next to the wan-looking man and begins to hang the intravenous drugs that will treat his cancer. As the solution drips through the tubing and into his vein, she sits by his side, watching to make sure that he has no adverse reaction. Today she is acting as triage nurse -- the person responsible for patients who walk in without an appointment, for patients who call with a problem but can't reach their primary nurse, for the smooth functioning of the unit, and, of course, for responding to any emergencies. Rumplik's eyes thus constantly sweep the room to check on the other patients."

"text": "WHAT IS A VET ASSISTANT AND WHAT DO VET ASSISTANTS DO? With the recent explosion of organic pet foods, handsewn costumes, and psychiatric medicines for people’s furry, feathered, and scaly companions, it’s clear that pets hold a privileged position in many households. In fact, an annual survey by American Pet Products Association (APPA 2017) found that 68 percent of US households have pets, up from 56 percent in 1988. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC 2017) has repeatedly emphasized the positive effects of animals on lowering people’s blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and feelings of loneliness. For animal-lovers seeking a career with minimal training, becoming a veterinary assistant can be a fulfilling option. So what is a veterinary assistant? And what do these animal care specialists do? According to O*NET (2017)—a data organization affiliated with the US Department of Labor—vet assistants are on the front lines of animal caretaking, taking on responsibilities such as managing the everyday needs of animals (e.g., feeding, bathing, exercising); restraining animals during examinations and procedures; assisting with non-invasive medical procedures; disinfecting cages and kennels; scheduling medical appointments with pet-owners; sterilizing equipment and surgical rooms; monitoring veterinary patients’ health status (e.g., taking weight or temperature); and educating pet-owners. They may help veterinary technicians and veterinarians in more advanced capacities such as administering medication, processing laboratory samples, and performing medical tests (e.g., x-rays). Veterinary assistants are typically employed by animal clinics and veterinary hospitals, sometimes working nights, weekends, and holidays to meet the needs of their veterinary patients."

"text": "A surgical technician, also called a surgical technologist, is a trained professional whose job is extremely important to people undergoing surgery. The roles of a surgical technician may vary among countries and even between medical facilities within a country. Surgical technicians complete special training, usually lasting from about one to two years, either at community or trade colleges. They may also be certified through various agencies, and take examinations after completing school to get certification. Before Surgery One of the most important aspects of many surgical technician jobs is learning how to prepare operating rooms so that they are sterile, which helps lower the rate of infection in patients. In general, surgical techs don't actually clean up the operating rooms; this is left to maintenance staff. Surgical techs may oversee cleaning and prepare and sterilize all instruments that might be needed in an operation. They may also help prepare a patient for surgery, including shaving, cleaning, and disinfecting surgery sites. During Surgery During actual surgeries the surgical technician is on hand to assist in a variety of roles. Techs must be able to follow directions accurately, quickly and carefully, so they need familiarity with the names of the many instruments a surgeon might require during an operation."

Uniforms will be color-coded for job title. RNs will be in Navy blue and we are only allowed to wear the assigned uniforms bought through the hospital (must be Cherokee uniforms, in the chosen color-can't find the color at a store in case it doesn't match, with the hospital logo on them). We are also being told that we have to match any undergarments (i.e. long sleeves) to the top and any coats/jackets have to be the same color with a Banner logo on them. So far there are now three AZ Banner hospitals doing this but we have now heard that they are taking the system wide and every single Banner hospital will do this. It may take a while to get to everyone but that is the plan so we were told we can't argue it. The kicker is that I work in Peds and the hospital I am at is building a 7 story Children's Hospital. The adult and peds ER will connect but the Children's Hospital will be independent. The rules only \"\"bend\"\" slightly to allow pediatric RNs only to choose from 3 assigned \"\"kid friendly tops\"\"."

They prepare patients and the operating room, and they assist doctors and nurses during surgeries. The goal of a surgical technician is to maintain a sterile environment throughout the entire surgical procedure. Surgical technicians usually work in hospitals; however, they can also be employed in outpatient surgical facilities and even dental offices where dental surgeries are performed. It is important that surgical technicians are in good health since they are standing during surgeries a great deal during their day, and because they are often required to lift patients. Surgical technicians are an integral part of a surgical team and work alongside doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and dentists. Surgical Technician Duties Some duties of a surgical technician can include: Assisting surgeons and nurses with supplies in the operating room Preparing patients for surgical procedures Readying operating rooms for surgeries Applying dressings to surgical incisions Transporting patients from the operating room to the recovery area Surgical technicians generally work full-time in hospitals. Therefore, they can expect to work a variety of hours and days including, nights, weekends, and holidays. Alternate Job Titles Surgical technicians are also known as surgical technologists, operating room technicians, and scrub techs. How To Become A Surgical Technician Surgical technician programs are offered at state or community colleges and vocational colleges."

In addition, they prepare equipment, stock supplies and handle paperwork, among other non-nursing duties. Education and Training Duke University Health System notes a high school education should provide some of the required skills, such as understanding and following instructions. Technicians must complete the Obstetrical Technician Training Program, which takes between three and six months and includes formal instruction and on-the-job training. Some colleges offer similar programs. City Colleges of Chicago, for example, offers an 11-credit hour certificate program in Obstetrics and Gynecologic Technology. The program covers anatomy, basic surgical techniques and procedures and safety. Other Qualifications Obstetric technicians need considerable physical strength, because they sometimes must lift heavy equipment and move patients.

Purpose Aseptic technique is employed to maximize and maintain asepsis, the absence of pathogenic organisms, in the clinical setting. The goals of aseptic technique are to protect the patient from infection and to prevent the spread of pathogens. Often, practices that clean (remove dirt and other impurities), sanitize (reduce the number of microorganisms to safe levels), or disinfect (remove most microorganisms but not highly resistant ones) are not sufficient to prevent infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 27 million surgical procedures are performed in the United States each year. Surgical site infections are the third most common nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection and are responsible for longer hospital stays and increased costs to the patient and hospital. Aseptic technique is vital in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with surgical infections. Description Aseptic technique can be applied in any clinical setting. Pathogens may introduce infection to the patient through contact with the environment, personnel, or equipment. All patients are potentially vulnerable to infection, although certain situations further increase vulnerability, such as extensive burns or immune disorders that disturb the body's natural defenses."

An osteopathic physician will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Manual medicine means that both diagnosis and treatment are carried out with the hands. Osteopathy is a complementary therapy. It is used alongside conventional treatment to improve health.

"text": "When one decides to become a doctor, there are actually two ways to achieve the title of doctor and practice medicine. One can become a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO). Both licenses allow one to practice medicine and have equally rigorous testing. The differences between an MD and a DO lie primarily in philosophy on how to practice medicine. Both MDs and DOs tend to begin training by getting a four-year undergraduate degree, either in pre-med, or in a related science field. Each type of doctor will then complete four years of training before taking examinations that will result in licensure. Either type of doctor may then choose to specialize in a particular field and study for two to six more years. The doctor who specializes will then take further examinations to be licensed by the board of his or her specialty. In most cases, the four years of medical school are quite similar. However the DO receives training in the muscular and skeletal system, and also in muscular and skeletal manipulation."

Their medical school training includes a variety of things more like chiropractic care (spinal manipulation) as well as all the basic anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pathology that MD medical students get. The label \"\"allopathic\"\" that people put on MD medical schools and practice is really to differentiate it from \"\"homeopathic,\"\" not to differentiate it from \"\"osteopathic\"\" training. This is terminology that dates back about a hundred years or more to when science was first really entering into the field of medicine. Today, the only people who use this terminology are really interested in the topic of \"\"alternative medicine\"\" and who want to use some sort of label to differentiate what they do (which may or many not include the practice of homeopathy) from conventional \"\"allopathic\"\" medicine.

"text": "What is an Osteopath? The philosophy of Osteopathy is to treat the body as a whole and to acknowledge the relationships between the body’s structure and function and its inert ability to heal itself. Osteopathy was first developed in America in the 1870′s by a medical doctor, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, it has now developed to the point where it has become widely recognised throughout the world as one of the most scientifically validated & effective complementary therapies. The main aim of Osteopathic treatment is to restore normal function to the whole body, so you can benefit from Osteopathic treatment for any ailment you may be experiencing. Treatment is not a ‘cure’ or a quick-fix. Treatment assists your body to achieve its optimum health so it will be better able to deal with the problems it is experiencing. Because of its holistic approach, osteopathic treatment is suitable for people at all ages and stages of life, from the very young right through to the elderly too. Osteopathic treatment can also assist in preparing the body for surgery and in the rehabilitative stages after one is discharged from hospital. What does an Osteopath do? Osteopaths commence treatment by taking a comprehensive case history, accompanied by detailed physical examination incorporating postural and movement assessment, along with specific orthopaedic muscle and joint tests, as needed."

Follow 24 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Doctor of Osteopathy...\"\"A doctor of osteopathic medicine (D. O.) is a physician licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medication. Like an M. D., an osteopath completes 4 years of medical school and can choose to practice in any specialty of medicine. However, osteopaths receive an additional 300 to 500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system. Osteopathic medicine is dedicated to treating and healing the entire patient as a whole, rather than focusing on one system or body part. An osteopath will often use a treatment method called manipulation -- a hands-on approach to assure that the body is moving freely. This free motion ensures that all of your body's natural healing systems are free to work unhindered. Osteopaths hold to the principle that a patient's history of illness and physical trauma are written into the body's structure. The osteopath's highly developed sense of touch allows the physician to palpate (feel) the patient's \"\"living anatomy\"\" (the flow of fluids, motion and texture of tissues, and structural make-up). The osteopath's job is to \"\"set\"\" the body to heal itself."

Accessing osteopathy Overview Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person's muscles and joints. Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and massage with the aim of:increasing the mobility of jointsrelieving muscle tensionenhancing the blood supply to tissueshelping the body to heal They use a range of techniques but not drugs or surgery. In the UK, osteopathy is a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) and is different from conventional western medicine. Although osteopaths may use some conventional medical techniques, the use of osteopathy isn't always based on scientific evidence. Read about what happens when you visit an osteopath. Common uses Most people who see an osteopath do so for help with conditions that affect the muscles, bones and joints, such as:lower back painneck painshoulder painarthritisproblems with the pelvis, hips and legssports injuriesproblems with posture caused by driving, work or pregnancy Some osteopaths claim to be able to treat conditions that are not directly related to muscles, bones and joints, such as headaches, migraines, painful periods, digestive disorders, depression and excessive crying in babies (colic).

ADAM GAULT/SPL/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Back doctors are not all created equal. Numerous medical specialties exist for a person with spine pain, and unless you understand the various types, picking out the one (or ones) who can treat you effectively can quickly become overwhelming. Who do you turn to, and when? Here's the short list: Family and General Practitioners When your neck or back pain first starts, your family doctor or GP is probably your best bet. She may prescribe some pain killers, give you a few exercises to do and possibly send you to a physical therapist. If she deems your problem a serious one, she'll likely order diagnostic tests and/or refer you on to a specialist such as a rheumatologist or neurologist. But family doctors can be slow to include new back treatments as they come out, according to a 2006 study published in Spine Journal. Other than taking your medical history and giving you a physical exam, which are two staples of spine diagnosis, the study found that even as new recommendations were published by leading medical organization, physicians did not adopt them into their practices. Because of this, taking a pro-active approach when shopping for spine care may be helpful to you."

A doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) performs medical examinations to diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. Also known as osteopathic physicians, they are licensed to perform surgery and to prescribe medications. They stress the role that the musculoskeletal system (nerves, joints, muscles, and bones) plays in disease, illness, and injury. They emphasize the importance of prevention, diet, exercise, and environment in staying well. Over half of all DOs practice in primary care areas, such as pediatrics, family practice, and internal medicine. Physicians who have their own practices must oversee personnel, payroll, billing, and other business-related functions. DOs represent 6 percent of the total U. S. physician population; however, they comprise 15 percent of all doctors who serve communities with populations of fewer than 10,000 people. Some DOs model their practice so closely with conventional medicine that they may be indistinguishable from MDs."

A practitioner of cranial-sacral therapy may also apply light touches to a patient's spine and pelvic bones. Practitioners believe that this palpation regulates the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and aids in \"\"primary respiration\"\". [ 2] Craniosacral therapy was developed by John Upledger, D. O. in the 1970s, as an offshoot osteopathy in the cranial field, or cranial osteopathy, which was developed in the 1930s by William Garner Sutherland. [ 2] [3]According to the American Cancer Society, although CST may relieve the symptoms of stress or tension, \"\"available scientific evidence does not support claims that craniosacral therapy helps in treating cancer or any other disease\"\".

History and conceptual basis [ edit]Cranial osteopathy, a forerunner of CST, was originated by osteopath William Sutherland (1873–1954) in 1898–1900. While looking at a disarticulated skull, Sutherland was struck by the idea that the cranial sutures of the temporal bones where they meet the parietal bones were \"\"beveled, like the gills of a fish, indicating articular mobility for a respiratory mechanism.\"\" [ 6]John Upledger devised CST."

It does not matter what letters are after your name. All your patient cares about is if you care about them. Definition MD’s practice allopathic medicine, the classical form of medicine, focused on the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. DO’s practice osteopathic medicine which is centered around a more holistic view of medicine in which the focus is on seeing the patient as a “whole person” to reach a diagnosis, rather than treating the symptoms alone. The belief is that all parts of the body work together and influence each other. Osteopathic medicine also places emphasis on the prevention of disease. In medical school, there is specific training on osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), a hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment as well as disease prevention. There are approximately 800,000 practicing physicians in the United States today; roughly 50,000 of whom are DO’s, while MD’s make up the remaining 750,000."

"text": "\"Dubious Aspects of Osteopathy Stephen Barrett, M. D. Osteopathic physicians (DOs) are the legal equivalents and, in most cases, are the professional equivalents of medical doctors (MDs). However, before deciding whether to use the services of a DO it is useful to understand osteopathy's history and the practical significance of its philosophy. Cultist Roots Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) originally expressed the principles of osteopathy in 1874, when medical science was in its infancy. He is commonly said to have had an MD degree, but Martin Gardner, one of the 20th century's leading science writers, concluded that \"\"there is no evidence Still had any medical training other than helping his father, a Methodist missionary, take care of Shawnee indians.\"\" [ 1]Still claimed that diseases were caused by mechanical interference with nerve and blood supply and were curable by manipulation of \"\"deranged, displaced bones, nerves, muscles—removing all obstructions—thereby setting the machinery of life moving.\"\" His autobiography states that he caused a bald-headed man to grow hair three inches long in one week and that he could \"\"shake a child and stop scarlet fever, croup, diphtheria, and cure whooping cough in three days by a wring of its neck.\"\" [ 2] He was antagonistic toward the drug practices of his day and regarded surgery as a last resort. Rejected as a cultist by organized medicine, he founded the first osteopathic medical school in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1892. As medical science developed, osteopathy gradually incorporated all of its theories and practices [3] and achieved licensure in all 50 states. In 1901, California became the first state to license DOs; in 1989, Nebraska became the last."

I’ve commented in this blog several times on the popular internet quack Joseph Mercola, who is an osteopathic physician, and in those blogs I promised to look into the differences and write a post on them. Well, here it is. Let me start by acknowledging that some osteopathic physicians (DOs) are probably better doctors than some MDs. That’s hard to deny, given that some MDs are outrageous promoters of pseudoscience.

You will have a bid or negotiated contract that will include a percentage for the contractor’s overhead and profit. If you have requested a cost breakdown from your contractor you will likely see a percentage for their markup or profit. What you probably won’t see is the markup for materials purchased and for material and labor costs as well as the overhead and profit for any trades or subcontractors awarded work by a general contractor for your project. You also will not see what the contractor paid for materials he’s bought in bulk and taken from his inventory to use on your project. Nobody expects a contractor to work for free, if they did, they wouldn’t be in business for long and we’d be doing a lot more new construction and renovation work. Before signing a contract it helps to have a clear understanding of what you are really paying for and gives you a basis for negotiation. What’s included in Construction Overhead?

But sometimes it is penalizing the innocent team to stop play: if, for instance, a defender deliberately handles the ball to bring it under control but only succeeds in deflecting it to an opponent who is well placed for a shot at goal. To stop play at this moment would penalize the attacking team. In such a case, the referee would apply the so-called advantage rule and allow play to go on. AGGREGATE SCORE: Many of soccer's most important club competitions are played on a knockout basis. A draw is conducted to decide the pairings. The two clubs drawn as a pair play each other twice, home-and-home. The winner is decided by adding together the scores from the two games -- the aggregate score.

We know how many hours that specific tasks take, and whether those tasks can be handled by an administrative assistant or need the technical skills of highly educated engineer, scientist, or data encryption expert. We know how many O-rings, test tubes, and widgets that specific tasks take, and how much they typically cost. In addition to direct costs, each project (or division or product line) absorbs a portion of the cost of running the business. The rent or mortgage payments, electric bills, and receptionist's wages are all necessary to run the business. Without them, the project could not be accomplished; therefore, a portion of their costs are allocated to the project. The real cost of any project encompasses both the direct costs for that particular project plus a portion of the cost of running the business. The indirect costs represent cash money out-the-door that must be accounted for among the goods and services sold. No customer is paying for the Indirect Cost Project."

Higher voltages would be dangerous. Poor power transmission over long distances, requiring more frequent substation infrastructure Not necessarily compatible with high speeds. Low-lying third rail is a safety concern Electrified rails (the third rail) are great for subway systems and rapid transit vehicles. The disadvantages of the third rail are negated by the type of service and the urban environmnet they run in. Power is plentiful within city limits, and so powering the trains is not an issue. The routes, even though a very large city, are rarely significantly distant in railroad terms. Because of the tighter curve radiuses and frequent stops, subway and rapid transit trains rarely hit very high speeds where a higher voltage would be necessary.

"text": "Marc Bodnick, Co-Founder at Telepath Answered Jan 18, 2014 · Author has 7.8k answers and 40m answer views This is a good question, because most people think that icing and offsides are the two most complicated rules in hockey. Here's a good summary of icing: Intro The icing rule was first created by the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1939. It was created to prevent teams from playing purely defensively and repeatedly dumping the puck to the far zone every possession. Before the advent of the rule, teams that were vastly out-skilled would often spend most of the game launching the puck lengthwise across the ice to kill time. Teams would also utilize this tactic immediately after gaining a lead, which effectively prevented the other team from ever having a chance at a comeback. This all made for extremely boring and uneventful ice hockey games! The icing rule was the answer. The Rule Icing occurs whenever a player passes, shoots, dumps, or deflects the puck from his half of the rink and it travels all the way past the opposing goal line. By definition, the puck must cross both the center red line and the opposing goal line untouched. Icing is enforced by one of the linesmen, who then blows his whistle to stop the play."

As the popularity grew, salaries for NFL players and referees have increased substantially. So, how much do NFL referees earn in a year (2015)? NHL referees start at around $120,000 per year while linesmen start at around $75,000 per year mark. ADVERTISEMENTAn experienced NHL referee or linesman can easily double or rarely trible that amount. Baring in mind that being a NFL referee is not a full-time job, most referees make way more from their day jobs. If you are considering it as a career and make your way to become a NFL referee, you could be a well paid part-time official without a restriction to making less than 50% your annual earnings from refereeing NFL games.

Brett Crockett, Director of Sound Research at Dolby Labs explains what home theater enthusiasts need to know about Dolby Atmos — the new surround sound format for home theater and cinemas. Dolby Atmos sound systems add overhead speakers which heightens the realism of your cinematic experience. For the home, Dolby Atmos combines traditional home theater speaker layouts with either ceiling-mounted speakers or new Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers to create a plane of sound above the listener. Dolby Atmos has the amazing ability to have sounds come from above you. In the movie Noah, for instance, Dolby Atmos in the cinema made it sound like the torrential rains were pouring down from the sky on top of you. And if you saw Godzilla in a Dolby Atmos movie theatre, hearing the monster roar above you was beyond realistic—it was terrifying. If you’re willing and able to install speakers in your ceiling, there will be great options. If that’s not possible for you—and for many people, it isn’t—our partners will offer new Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers that produce full, detailed overhead sound from speakers located where your conventional speakers are now. If you already have speakers that you love, you can choose an add-on, Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker module that complements your existing speakers. ("

"text": "Accounting Overhead Allocation Published10 years agoon Aug 17, 2008By Lie Dharma Putra How to allocate overhead? Let’s talk about it through this post. Corporations are required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to allocate (mathematically distribute or apportion) their overhead expenses to individual profit centers when they prepare information for the stakeholders, particularly the tax institution or securities commissions (absorption accounting in LIFO/FIFO calculations), and certain industry-specific regulatory authorities. There are numerous criteria that may be used as the basis for this calculation, including revenue, direct cost, units produced, direct labor dollars or hours, and square footage consumed. It is presumed, incorrectly, that the methodology that must be used for regulatory compliance is also appropriate for intelligent management decision making. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Advertisement Problems That Arise from Overhead Allocation The process of allocating overhead charges to individual businesses can lead to several problems within a company: It Fosters Politics. The process of allocating overhead charges to individual businesses fosters political infighting. When an executive shines as a result of her contribution to the profitability of the business, this is a positive result. However, when costs are allocated, a manager who knows how to manipulate the allocation methodology can make his department’s performance look better by getting charges assigned to other operating units."

Some of the world’s most popular sports have offside rules, including American football and soccer. The word “offside” is a shortened word derived from an old British war saying. To be “off the strength of his side” meant a soldier was trapped behind enemy lines. Offside rules were first applied to soccer in the early 1800s. Many sports eventually adopted some sort of offside rules to regulate forward movement. As recently as the 1930s, forward passes were not allowed in ice hockey. The advent of the offside rule allowed for the forward pass, and completely redefined the game."

"text": "Health Hazard: Air Purifiers That Give Off Ozone By Stacy Genovese Oct 21, 2010It's been quite a few years now that ozone-producing air purifiers have been on the market. The manufacturers of these products have been claiming that the ozone removes indoor air contaminants and acts likes an air freshener as its sweetish smell (think of the odor in the air during a thunderstorm) masks other odors. But what they aren't telling you is that ozone (O 3) is a lung irritant that can cause chest pains, coughing, and shortness of breath even in people who don't suffer from asthma and other lung ailments. Since ozone occurs naturally in our atmosphere it's difficult to understand why it's considered dangerous. To explain, the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) started a campaign called ' Good Up High - Bad Nearby '. Ozone in the upper layers of the atmosphere is good for us as it helps to filter out UV rays from sun while ozone down at our level is bad for our health. If you don't live in California, which has banned the sale of ozone-generating purifiers (unless the amount of ozone they emit is very, very low) you'll still see these purifiers for sale in stores and on-line. Don't buy them. We feel so strongly that these products are hazardous to your health that we will not allow them to apply for use of the Good Housekeeping Seal or advertise in Good Housekeeping If you already own an air purifier, make sure it doesn't produce ozone and if it does, stop using it and cut the cord before you discard it so no one else can use it either. Before purchasing a replacement see our guide to air purifiers."

Different Types of Water There are many other types of water in addition to tap/municipal, but what exactly are the differences between them? Spring water – spring water is water from a natural underground source, containing a healthy amount of nutrients and minerals. It is collected at the source, usually with a borehole. Though appealing because it’s natural, spring water doesn’t have the highest levels of purity. Mineral water – mineral water naturally contains many dissolved minerals – iron, calcium, sulfate, potassium, etc, and it has at least 250 PPM (parts-per-million) of total dissolved solids (TDS)."

I’m not a huge fan of the whole “new car smell” thing, but my car is starting to smell a little ripe, and I’m wondering what I can do about it. Is there any way to find out exactly why my car smells bad, and is there anything I can do about it aside from rolling down the windows or plugging my nose? Answer: There are a lot of different reasons a car can smell bad, and some of them are easier to deal with than others. Some causes of bad car smells are mechanical in nature, and having the problem fixed will eventually do away with the smell. Other smells can be dealt with by airing your car out, turning to a low tech solution like baking soda or charcoal, or going high tech with an ionizer or air purifier. Tracking Down Your Bad Car Smell While there are countless different reasons a car might smell bad, they fall into two basic categories: smells associated with a mechanical issue and smells with an outside cause. Unpleasant odors associated with mechanical issues can indicate a failing heater core, malfunctioning catalytic converter, leaking oil, and a host of other issues."

Always consult your physician or a qualified healthcare professional before changing your treatment in any way. Which sounds better to you — spending days drugged up on Tylenol and Vaporub to blunt out the painful symptoms of a cold, or never getting the cold in the first place? Obviously, the better choice is never getting the cold to begin with — which is why almost everyone takes basic precautionary measures like washing their hands frequently and getting enough vitamin C. Yet when it comes to asthma, many people think nothing of relying on inhalers as their primary way of dealing with the disease. But relying on an inhaler to control asthma may be no better than choosing a long-lasting relationship with the Tylenol bottle over preventing the cold. Even so-called 'preventative,' or daily, inhalers control the symptoms of asthma — not the cause. They soothe constriction and inflammation in the airways of your lungs (the cause of that struggling-for-air feeling), but they can't stop the triggers that irritate your lungs and make them constrict in the first place."

Though some consumers are simply trying to bring a little extra freshness into their lives, many others hope that their investment will help relieve their asthma or allergies. If you've ever shopped for an air cleaner -- or if you've ever idly flipped through a Sky Mall catalog -- you've undoubtedly seen ads for ionic air purifiers, devices that take an unusual approach to clearing the air. Instead of relying on fans to move air through filters, the machines release a steady stream of negatively charged ions that electrify the bits of dust, dander or other flotsam. The airborne particles pick up the negative charge and become strongly attracted to positively charged collection plates inside the machine. ( In many cases, they also become attracted to other charged surfaces such as walls, table tops and TV screens.) Except for a few models that use fans to help suck in the charged particles, most ionic air purifiers work silently.

By consciously replacing that habit by deeper EASIER breathing, we can bring partial benefits to both the mind and body. But beware of deeper breathing that actually restricts optimal breathing . Aerobic exercise is any exercise that increases the level of oxygen in the body. This exercise, whether it be breathing more, walking, jogging, cycling, dancing, kundalini breath of fire or swimming, conditions the heart and lungs to work more efficiently.

We began studying the use of ozone for treating HIV and other infections in August, 1992. Ozone is a triatomic form of oxygen that is highly unstable. It is the most powerful oxidizer known to man next to fluorine. Ozone is produced naturally in lightning storms and in pine forests and by the action of the sun's ultraviolet light on oxygen. It is also produced in small quantities by ultraviolet light in a suntanning bed. Negative ionizers produce small amounts of ozone along with negative ions. Ozone in water will kill viruses 3125 faster than chlorine (from Milwaukee Public Library Science Section). Ozone is the most potent anti-viral substance known to man that is safe to use in controlled doses and is effective against viruses even in low concentrations. However, it is usually not effective against fungal infections."

Filters meeting the HEPA standard have many applications, including use in medical facilities, automobiles, aircraft and homes. The filter must satisfy certain standards of efficiency such as those set by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). To qualify as HEPA by industry standards, an air filter must remove (from the air that passes through) 99.97% of particles that have a size greater-than-or-equal-to 0.3 µm. [ 3] Although the ASME industry standard is not published by any government, it is recognized as an authoritative standard by many governments.

Related to ozone therapy: Ozone generator, hydrogen peroxide therapy Oxygen/Ozone Therapy Definition Oxygen/ozone therapy is a term that describes a number of different practices in which oxygen,ozone, or hydrogen peroxide are administered via gas or water to kill disease microorganisms,improve cellular function, and promote the healing of damaged tissues. The rationale behind bio-oxidative therapies, as they are sometimes known, is the notion that as long as the body'sneeds for antioxidants are met, the use of certain oxidative substances will stimulate themovement of oxygen atoms from the bloodstream to the cells. With higher levels of oxygen in thetissues, bacteria and viruses are killed along with defective tissue cells. The healthy cells surviveand multiply more rapidly. The result is a stronger immune system. Ozone itself is a form of oxygen, O3, produced when ultraviolet light or an electric spark passesthrough air or oxygen. It is a toxic gas that creates free radicals, the opposite of what antioxidantvitamins do. Oxidation, however, is good when it occurs in harmful foreign organisms that haveinvaded the body."

Some people have argued that drinking ozonated water has no proven scientific benefits and may even be unhealthy. Others believe that ozone has significant healing properties. Therapeutic use of ozone is not endorsed by the medical associations in English speaking countries. In fact, most states in America prohibit the use and/or marketing of ozone generators. The FDA and pharmaceutical companies have been suppressing all forms of ozone therapy for many years. The reason may simply be because it is so effective and is thus a threat to the medical and pharmaceutical companies. Yet there may also be some truth to the potential dangers of ozone, especially if it is improperly administered, either by drinking ozonated water or through one of the other therapeutic means.

"text": "Ozone Generators Ozone is the unstable, highly reactive triatomic form of Oxygen. Oxygen is O2 while Ozone is O3. In order for Oxygen to form into Ozone, Oxygen molecules must be “pulled apart” and reformed. This takes energy in the form of electrical excitation of Oxygen which pulls apart Oxygen molecules. This is usually accomplished with High Voltage (Corona Discharge) Ozone Generators. Once pulled apart, most revert back to the stable form of Oxygen. However, some of the Oxygen is converted into Ozone in this process. Ozone is a colorless gas with a typical antiseptic smell. Ozone must be treated with respect as it is a very powerful oxidizing agent. Once formed, Ozone is an oxidizer that will react with organics or, over time, naturally decay back to the more stable form of Oxygen."

Ozone is formed from dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet light and also atmospheric electrical discharges, and is present in very low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere (stratosphere). Its concentration is highest in the ozone layer region of the atmosphere, which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

"text": "Heart Pacemaker Procedures - Heart Care/Surgery The Basics Regarding Pacemaker/Defibrillator Implant Devices Pacemakers are defined as a small electrical appliance or electronic device comprised of a generator and one or more leads that contain an electrode. Pacemakers and ICDs are implanted in the chest of patients and not in the heart, though close to the heart. The leads emit signals to the device, encouraging the heart to beat if the heartbeat is slower than it should be. Defibrillator implant devices are also known as implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). While similar to pacemakers, ICDs help the heart to maintain optimal heart rhythm if heartbeat is irregular or accelerated. Adequate cardiac function is essential for optimal health. If the heart rate is slower than it should be, oxygenated blood is unable to reach essential body organs and tissues. Lack of adequate oxygenation limits physical functions and abilities, not only for major muscle and organs, but for brain function as well. Pacemakers are designed to create electrical impulses that encourage the heart to beat at a faster pace. The pacemaker only functions when the heart rate is lower than the designated pace programmed into the pacemaker."

"text": "With Health Insurance: 10%-20% Copay Without Health Insurance: $19,000-$96,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (5)A pacemaker is a battery-operated device implanted or externally attached to the body to direct electrical impulses when needed to stimulate the heart to beat regularly and properly circulate blood. An implantable defibrillator [ 1] , a larger device with a pacemaker built in, is placed inside the body near the collar bone to monitor the heart rate and deliver a strong electrical shock restoring the heartbeat to normal if it has become too fast or too slow. Typical costs: For patients not covered by insurance, a pacemaker and heart-assist implant can cost $19,000-$96,000 or more, depending on the type of pacemaker, the location and length of the hospital stay. For example, the Healthcare Bluebook [ 2] estimates a total price of $19,651 for patients in the Columbus, OH, area, including placement of the pacemaker, surgery, anesthesia and a five-day hospital stay. Health Grades.com [ 3] estimates an average list price of $28,348 for the implant and procedure for patients in the western United States. Wisconsin Price Point [ 4] , a subsidiary of the Wisconsin Hospital Association that collects healthcare price data, estimates the average costs of a defibrillator and heart assist implant in that state are about $96,000. Pacemakers may be covered by Medicare or private health insurance. For patients with Medicare, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire estimates an out-of-pocket cost [ 5] of $2,604, including deductibles and coinsurance. Patients with private insurance could expect to pay [ 6] about $4,400.

For the most part, the pacemaker should not need replaced ever (except the battery which will need to be changed about every 10 years). This is because the function they serve will never need to be adjusted. They are not like a cell phone in which a newer version will come out with more features. The only advantage to the newer ones is that they seem to get smaller and smaller every time a new one comes out. Most people leave their original devices in unless something wrong happens."

With rare exception, implantation of a pacemaker does not change the recipient’s activities or lifestyle. Although most people who receive pacemakers are aged 60 years or older, people of any age, even children, may need pacemakers. Reasons for Pacemaker Implantation Almost all pacemakers are implanted to treat slow heart beating, which is called “bradycardia.” At rest, the heart usually beats about 50 to 70 times each minute, and the heart rate may increase 2- to 3-fold during stress or exercise. If the heart beats too slowly, the brain and body do not get enough blood flow and a variety of symptoms may result. Symptoms Associated With Need for a Pacemaker Fainting Near fainting Dizziness Lack of energy Fatigue Shortness of breath Exercise intolerance Extreme slowing or complete stopping of the heartbeat can be fatal. In other cases, people may have no symptoms but are at high risk for dangerously slow heart rates because of disturbances of the electrical system of the heart. A pacemaker may be recommended for these people before symptoms occur. The normal heartbeat is controlled by a natural pacemaker in the heart called the sinus node."

"text": "\"Bradycardia (Slow Heart Rate)Topic Overview What is bradycardia? Having bradycardia (say “bray-dee-KAR-dee-uh\"\") means that your heart beats very slowly. For most people, a heart rate of 60 to 100 beats a minute while at rest is considered normal. If your heart beats less than 60 times a minute, it is slower than normal. A slow heart rate can be normal and healthy. Or it could be a sign of a problem with the heart’s electrical system. For some people, a slow heart rate does not cause any problems. It can be a sign of being very fit. Healthy young adults and athletes often have heart rates of less than 60 beats a minute. In other people, bradycardia is a sign of a problem with the heart’s electrical system."

Your heart is at the center of the system, acting as a pump to distribute nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood through your body; it then takes away carbon dioxide and other waste your body doesn't need. Signs of poor circulation include cold hands and feet, numbness, dizziness, migraines, varicose veins and pain in your feet or legs. Untreated, poor circulation can lead to stroke, high blood pressure, kidney damage and other diseases. Learn more about your heart and circulatory system with expert advice from Sharecare.

"text": "What is deep brain stimulation (DBS? ) DBS is often described as a pacemaker for the brain. It works much like a pacemaker, sending electrical signals to the brain instead of the heart. It is primarily utilized for patients who have Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, or essential tremor (ET), and who can’t adequately control their disease with medication. For those with Parkinson’s, DBS can reduce tremors and significantly improve slowness and stiffness; and make tremors disappear for those with ET. DBS can help relax muscles and improve abnormal postures caused by muscle contractions for those with dystonia. In all cases, DBS can help enhance quality of life. It’s important to understand that DBS does not offer a cure for your disease, but a way to manage it more effectively. It can offer many benefits, including the need to take less medication and therefore experience fewer medication side effects. When is a good time to consider DBS?"

Good ones have a force field that has an attractive power 1000 times the weight of the magnet. As in most things, there is a quality range in rare-earth magnets. Both the rare earth used and the manufacturing process dictate the strength of the final product. When we were developing the Veritas® Dust Chute ( #05J21.10 ), we had decided to use a magnetic base on it for reasons of convenience and versatility. After a bit of testing, we decided to use four 1/2\"\" diameter magnets, 1/8\"\" thick. We tested several makes, but did not fully appreciate the breadth of the quality range until we came across the nickel-plated neodymium magnets that we finally settled on. One of these little magnets will lift a 10 lb block of steel. But what is most fascinating about these magnets is the near-endless uses for them. The obvious use is to hold things in position."

The surgery is done by skilled and experienced electro physiologists highly trained to perform pacemaker implantation. The modern state-of-the-art hospitals have cutting edge technology and equipment, equal to any other international hospital. The affordable heart pacemaker cost in India without any compromise on the quality is the main attraction for medical tourists from all over the world. Overview The heart consists of a conduction system to transmit electrical impulses for proper rhythm of the heart muscles. These electrical impulses are generated by special Sino Atrial tissues (S A nodes) which are present in the right atrium and then these impulses spread through upper chambers. The impulses are spread through Atrio-Ventricular node between auricles and ventricles. Another bundle of tissues called Bundle of Hiss is also responsible for electrical conduction so that ventricles contract to pump blood to the body and lungs. Together these 3 comprise the natural pace makers of the heart. Electrical impulses flow in the heart can be disrupted leading to a disease called arrhythmias."

"text": "Overview A pacemaker is a small device with two parts — a generator and wires (leads, or electrodes) — that's placed under the skin in your chest to help control your heartbeat. People may need a pacemaker for a variety of reasons — mostly due to one of a group of conditions called arrhythmias, in which the heart's rhythm is abnormal. Normal aging of the heart may disrupt your heart rate, making it beat too slowly. Heart muscle damage resulting from a heart attack is another common cause of disruptions of your heartbeat. Some medications can affect your heart rate as well. For some, genetic conditions cause an abnormal heart rate. Regardless of the underlying cause of an abnormal heart rate, a pacemaker may fix it. A pacemaker can often be implanted in your chest with a minor surgery. You may need to take some precautions in your daily life after your pacemaker is installed.

"title": "http://caifl.com/cardiac-devices/pacemakers/\nPacemakers",
"text": "What is a Pacemaker? Although it weighs just about an ounce, a pacemaker contains a powerful battery, electronic circuits and computer memory that together generate electronic signals. The signals, or pacing pulses, are carried along thin, insulated wires, or leads, to the heart muscle. The signals cause the heart muscle to begin the contractions that cause a heartbeat. A pacemaker is implanted just below the collarbone in a procedure that takes about two hours. It is programmed to stimulate the heart at a pre-determined rate, and settings can be adjusted at any time. Routine evaluation, sometimes even via telephone, ensures the pacemaker is working properly and monitors battery life, which generally runs from five to ten years. When is a Pacemaker Needed? The most common reason for a pacemaker is a heartbeat that slows to an unhealthy rate, or bradycardia. A pacemaker resets the heart rate to an appropriate pace, ensuring adequate blood and oxygen are delivered to the brain and other parts of the body."

At this stage they measure and weigh packages while thoroughly examining them to ensure packing specifications are constantly met. Proper recording of the packages starts here to ensure prompt delivery. Once properly labeled they are sent for scanning and sorting to where they are going. Scanning the barcode of the labels helps the client and the company tracks their packages. This is also the way to check where it came from last if it arrives damaged or stolen. These packages go through another inspection before placing them to their specific conveyor belts for sending to their specific chutes and ultimately to their specific loading docks. A keen eye is needed in order to check for those “incompatibles” or “irregular” packages. Together with defective packages, they are pulled out for reseal and relabeling."

In computing, an event is an action or occurrence recognized by software, often originating asynchronously from the external environment, that may be handled by the software. Computer events can be generated or triggered by the system, by the user or in other ways. Typically, events are handled synchronously with the program flow, that is, the software may have one or more dedicated places where events are handled, frequently an event loop. A source of events includes the user, who may interact with the software by way of, for example, keystrokes on the keyboard. Another source is a hardware device such as a timer. Software can also trigger its own set of events into the event loop, e.g. to communicate the completion of a task.

"text": "\"Chapter 5 XSLT Processing with Java Since many of the XSLT processors are written in Java, they can be directly invoked from a Java application or servlet. Embedding the processor into a Java application is generally a matter of including one or two JAR files on the CLASSPATH and then invoking the appropriate methods. This chapter shows how to do this, along with a whole host of other programming techniques. When invoked from the command line, an XSLT processor such as Xalan expects the location of an XML file and an XSLT stylesheet to be passed as parameters. The two files are then parsed into memory using an XML parser such as Xerces or Crimson, and the transformation is performed. But when the XSLT processor is invoked programmatically, you are not limited to using static files. Instead, you can send a precompiled stylesheet and a dynamically generated DOM tree directly to the processor, or even fire SAX events as processor input. A major goal is to eliminate the overhead of parsing, which can dramatically improve performance. This chapter is devoted to Java and XSLT programming techniques that work for both standalone applications as well as servlets, with a particular emphasis on Sun's Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) API. In Chapter 6, we will apply these techniques to servlets, taking into account issues such as concurrency, deployment, and performance."

"text": "Logging HOWTO ¶Author: Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at red-dove dot com>Basic Logging Tutorial ¶Logging is a means of tracking events that happen when some software runs. The software’s developer adds logging calls to their code to indicate that certain events have occurred. An event is described by a descriptive message which can optionally contain variable data (i.e. data that is potentially different for each occurrence of the event). Events also have an importance which the developer ascribes to the event; the importance can also be called the level or severity. When to use logging ¶Logging provides a set of convenience functions for simple logging usage. These are debug (), info (), warning (), error () and critical (). To determine when to use logging, see the table below, which states, for each of a set of common tasks, the best tool to use for it. Task you want to perform The best tool for the task Display console output for ordinary usage of a command line script or program print ()Report events that occur during normal operation of a program (e.g. for status monitoring or fault investigation) logging.info () (or logging.debug () for very detailed output for diagnostic purposes)Issue a warning regarding a particular runtime eventwarnings.warn () in library code if the issue is avoidable and the client application should be modified to eliminate the warninglogging.warning () if there is nothing the client application can do about the situation, but the event should still be noted Report an error regarding a particular runtime event Raise an exception Report suppression of an error without raising an exception (e.g. error handler in a long-running server process) logging.error () , logging.exception () or logging.critical () as appropriate for the specific error and application domain The logging functions are named after the level or severity of the events they are used to track. The standard levels and their applicability are described below (in increasing order of severity): Level When it’s used DEBUG Detailed information, typically of interest only when diagnosing problems. INFO Confirmation that things are working as expected."

After you create a new Integration Services project by using the New Project dialog box, Business Intelligence Development Studio opens, ready for you to start designing your package in the SSIS Designer. The windows that you see include the familiar Toolbox on the left, the design surface in the middle, and the new Solution Explorer on the right.

Note BI Development Studio, the 32-bit development environment for Integration Services packages, is not designed to run on the Itanium 64-bit architecture and is not installed on Itanium servers. The package development experience for Integration Services packages is much richer in Business Intelligence Development Studio than it was in the single-window designer available in Enterprise Manager that you may have used as a package developer in SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS). The DTS Designer displayed menus, a toolbox of connections and tasks, and a single package design surface. Although the SSIS Designer still has each of these elements, the design surface now includes multiple tabbed windows, and other new features include the Solution Explorer and the Variables and Log Events windows. The new development environment and new features combine to offer Integration Services developers a comprehensive and powerful environment for creating business intelligence solutions."

Given the interest in the drink packages, we get a lot of questions about them, and decided to list answers to the most commonly asked unlimited alcohol package questions for everyone's future reference. The drink packages really are unlimited While other cruise lines may impose limits on their unlimited alcohol packages, Royal Caribbean has no such rule. Some guests coming to Royal Caribbean question just how unlimited the alcohol packages are in reality. The answer is, there is no limit on the unlimited alcohol package and no daily caps on how many beverages you can get. The closest thing to a limit that exists, is with the soda fountain cups each drink package receives, the automated machines do limit refills to once every 10-15 minutes. This is prevent abuse of the self-serve soda machines. Gratuity is included with the drink packages When you purchase an unlimited alcohol package, your purchase price includes gratuity for every drink you order. Royal Caribbean advertises one price for each drink package, but if you look at the receipt, you will notice a cost for the base package plus a \"\"service charge\"\" that covers your gratuities. When you order a drink with the drink package, your receipt will show an 18% gratuity has already been added, although there is the option to add additional gratuity if you so choose."

That’s an easy one. It means your package, parcel or envelope is on its final step before being delivered to its consignee (the person the shipment is addressed to). A courier from DHL, (also known in some places as messengers) has that shipment in his/her possession; either in his messenger bag or his/her van (or even his motorcycle or bicycle…or even boat or helicopter, depending on the place where the consignee is)… and just went of his daily route. At some point during his route, he will reach the destination address and will deliver your shipment, ideally to the consignee or, maybe will leave it at a front desk…in some occasions (and locations) he could drop the package at a mailbox or at the porch.

Packages generally contain all of the files necessary to implement a set of related commands or features. There are two types of Debian packages: Binary packages, which contain executables, configuration files, man/info pages, copyright information, and other documentation. These packages are distributed in a Debian-specific archive format (see What is the format of a Debian binary package?, Section 7.2 ); they are usually characterized by having a '.deb' file extension. Binary packages can be unpacked using the Debian utility dpkg (possibly via a frontend like aptitude ); details are given in its manual page. Source packages, which consist of a .dsc file describing the source package (including the names of the following files), a .orig.tar.gz file that contains the original unmodified source in gzip-compressed tar format and usually a .diff.gz file that contains the Debian-specific changes to the original source. The utility dpkg-source packs and unpacks Debian source archives; details are provided in its manual page. ( The program apt-get can be used as a frontend for dpkg-source . )"

S. Department of Education, depending on whether the student filed the FAFSA online or on paper, provided an email address on the FAFSA and signed the form electronically with an FSA ID. The student will then receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that contains the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). At the same time, the colleges and universities listed on the FAFSA will receive an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) containing the student’s EFC and other information. College and university financial aid offices use this information to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. If the student is determined eligible, the college or university will assemble a financial aid package or award of gift aid (grants, scholarships, tuition/housing waivers and other money that does not need to be repaid) and self-help aid (education loans, tuition installment plans and student employment) from federal, state, institutional and private sources. The financial aid office, then, sends a financial aid letter or notification to the student to provide information about the financial aid package awarded to the student. Most financial aid award letters (or notifications to view an award letter on the college’s portal) arrive either simultaneously or shortly after the student receives an offer of admission, typically in late March or early April."

"text": "\"A patient is usually admitted into a post- anesthesia care unit (PACU) after he or she undergoes a surgical procedure in a hospital or outpatient clinic so that experienced nurses can monitor recovery. A PACU nurse is a licensed, specially trained health care professional who ensures that postoperative patients receive proper care and attention. A nurse checks patients' vital signs, changes bandages, and administers medications if necessary. He or she assesses patients' overall health and provides helpful home-care information before allowing them to leave the facility. Following an operation, an anesthesia care provider (ACP) will explain the patient's condition to a PACU nurse. It is important for a nurse to gather as much information as possible from the ACP to understand the type of care a patient needs. Patients who are still recovering from their doses of anesthesia may not be able to recognize pain or other adverse feelings, so the nurse needs to constantly monitor them to prevent possible health complications. He or she dresses surgical scars, measures blood pressure, checks breathing rates, and evaluates cognitive skills. Ad Depending on the type of operation performed and the amount of anesthesia received, a patient may be in the PACU anywhere from 30 minutes to five hours or longer. A nurse provides expert counseling and education services for patients going home after their surgeries."

"text": "\"What is a Surgeon? Surgeons operate on patients who suffer from injuries, diseases or deformities. These professionals can train toward becoming general surgeons, or they can choose a specialization, such as orthopedic, neurological, cardiovascular and plastic surgery. \"\" In the surgical specialty, there's stress around the corner all the time, and you have to be prepared for that,\"\" said Dr. Maria Siemionow, who in 2008 led a team of surgeons in a 22-hour surgery to replace the face of gunshot victim Connie Culp. This near-total face transplant was the first surgery of its kind in the U. S. Not only was Siemionow in charge of delegating responsibilities to a handful of surgeons, she was also attempting to do a procedure on a living person that had previously been done on cadavers only. Siemionow says she was subconsciously thinking about the patient's family and the rescue plan, if the surgery were to take a bad turn. \"\" We were working for an unknown outcome,\"\" she says. But after connecting the arteries and veins of the donor's face with Culp's own, the new face \"\"pinked up\"\" – a sign to the transplant team that the surgery was working. It was a groundbreaking moment. Prospective surgeons should understand the gravity of the job they're undertaking, but a sense of humor might be an imperative trait, too."

"text": "\"Latest Articles Products Conferences Nurses › General Nursing ›Auscultating for Bowel Sounds After Surgeryallnurses Magazine: New Quarterly Publication For Nursesby jo716Views: 69,226 Comments: 14So in nursing school, they teach that you should auscultate all four quadrants for bowel sounds, and if you hear nothing you should listen for 5 minutes until you say that they are absent (if you hear none). In your practice do you always listen for 5 minutes and write \"\"absent\"\" bowel sounds in a fresh post-op patient, or do you listen for a bit, and if you don't hear a thing, chart down \"\"hypoactive bowel sounds\"\" instead and keep assessing periodically (and also for flatus)? Because aren't we also taught to notify the MD when there are absent bowel sounds as it could mean a paralytic ileus? But since a paralytic ileus is more of a concern if the bowels don't get back into action in the first 72 hours...which is the best action for the nurse? This is a bit confusing because what I've experienced in my capstone differs from what they taught in school...so i'm wondering how you all do it on the job? Thanks!About jo716Joined: Jul '07; Posts: 27; Likes: 314 Comments Topic Closed1 2 Next »Jul 14, '09I think after any major abdominal surgery, you can almost expect the patient to have absent bowel sounds. I don't listen for five minutes if there are no bowel sounds and I chart that they are absent, not hypoactive. Jul 14, '09I would say it depends on what type of surgery. If it is a major abdominal surgery, of course you will not hear any bowel sounds immediately post op. And you do not need to call the doctor."

Normal range is around 70 – 110 mm Hg. A couple of questions: Do you check the MAP every time you take BP? Why (& what floor do you work in)? Do you report if MAP is below 60?"

Your doctor may recommend abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair to treat an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a bulging, weak spot in the aorta that may be at risk for rupturing. In this case, the aneurysm is in part of the aorta that is in the abdomen. Repair of an AAA may be done in one of two ways: Open repair. For this surgery, your doctor makes a large incision in the abdomen to expose the aorta. Once he or she has opened the abdomen, a graft can be used to repair the aneurysm. Open repair remains the standard procedure for an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). This is a minimally invasive option."

Department of Anesthesia, M3-200, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the Holland Orthopedic and Arthritic Centre University of Toronto Toronto Canada Reports of Original Investigations First Online: 11 December 20126Shares1.6k Downloads7Citations Abstract Purpose Regional anesthesia is the preferred technique for total knee arthroplasty to provide a bridge for early postoperative analgesia, reduce opioid consumption, and improve mobility and rehabilitation. Multiple patient and process factors must be weighed when choosing the appropriate technique to reduce morbidity and facilitate discharge. We hypothesized that a low-dose of intrathecal bupivicaine combined with regional block would facilitate discharge from the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and reduce postoperative morbidity. Methods Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia received either 5 mg (low-dose group) or 10 mg (standard-dose group) isobaric bupivacaine in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome measure was time to achieve eligibility for PACU discharge. Secondary outcome measures included time to recovery of S2 dermatome sensation, time to voiding, rate of bladder catheterization, and time required for nursing intervention in the PACU and after discharge to the surgical ward. Results Forty-five of the 49 recruited patients completed the study. Patients receiving low-dose spinal anesthesia were eligible for PACU discharge earlier than those receiving the standard dose ( P = 0.0036). Patients receiving the standard dose had significantly delayed recovery of S2 dermatome sensation ( P = 0.0035)."

Sep 6, '10I am not sure what you mean by \"\"bedside nurse\"\". Nurses who work \"\"at the bedside\"\" include all nurses who provide direct patient care. This includes outpatient areas, OR, recovery room etc. Anywhere that a nurse is going to care for a patient. Nurses who provide direct patient care are usually non-exempt, meaning they are paid hourly. Rates depend on your years of experience and the shift that you work."

As the name suggests PACU nursing refers to the nursing care of the patients after a surgery i.e. patients recovering from anesthesia. The nurses that form a part of the PACU unit are highly trained nurses who are assigned with many vital responsibilities. These nurses work with the goal of avoiding any post surgical or post anesthesia complications in the condition of the patient. Sample PACU Nursing Job Responsibilities The PACU nurse is responsible for assessing the patient’s condition by checking the vital signs of the patient, taking and recording the patient’s temperature, checking for any signs of pain, monitoring the respiratory system etc. The PACU nurse is responsible for prescribing or using her own knowledge of pain medication in case of an emergency. The PACU nurse is responsible for changing the dressing of the patient and ensuring the cleanliness of the wound or affected areas so as to avoid any sort of infections. It is the responsibility of the PACU nurse to gather as much information about the pre- surgery condition of the patient and prepare a suitable care plan for the respective patient. It is the responsibility of the PACU nurse to rouse the patient form anesthesia after the patient has been operated upon. It is the responsibility of the PACU nurse to monitoring the recovery of the patient after the anesthesia or the surgery."

Using a repeated measures design, 86 adult subjects had temporal artery, oral, and axillary temperatures taken upon admission to the surgical area and upon admission to the PACU. Findings indicated best agreement both preoperatively and postoperatively between the oral mode of the electronic thermometer and the temporal artery thermometer, followed by agreement between oral and axillary modes of the electronic thermometer, and the least agreement between the temporal artery and axillary readings. Seconds to temperature measurement was significantly different both preoperatively and postoperatively, with temporal artery measurement the fastest, followed by oral and then axillary. Results support the use of the temporal artery thermometers as an alternative for perioperative noninvasive temperature monitoring. Previous article Next article Keywordstemperature measurement thermometer temporal artery oralaxillary PACU research THIS STUDY was prompted by the desire to find a more efficient way to take temperatures in perianesthesia areas. Electronic thermometers that could be set to take temperatures orally if patients were awake, or axillary if needed were used, but they often registered “error” rather than giving a temperature reading in the immediate postoperative period. The difficulty in obtaining readings was attributed to the thermometer’s insensitivity to hypothermia. The inability to obtain readings resulted in repeated measurement attempts and required the use of a new thermometer probe cover with each attempt, a situation believed to be costly in terms of nursing time and supplies. The temporal artery (TA) thermometer was a relatively new device claimed to be accurate and able to provide readings in 0.4 second."

"text": "Groin Pain - What do your Symptoms Mean? Groin pain is a common problem most people face, but then what are the groin pain symptoms? This article deals with this pain in women as well as men so that you get a clear idea about when to seek medical advice. Tagged Under: Groin Pain Advertisement Groin is the area which links the abdomen and the legs, and pain in this area is caused due to an injury or strain. Pain in the groin may indicate some problem with the hip joint. Usually, if there is an injury in the hip joint, it may be accompanied by pain in the groin region. This happens because the nerves in our body are arranged in such a way that if there is an injury in the hip joint, the pain is felt in the groin. It's somewhat similar to people who have heart or gallbladder problems wherein the pain is felt in the shoulder and arm respectively. Groin Pain in Men➜ The reasons for groin pain in men and women are similar. A muscle pull in the groin region is the main cause and it can be quite painful."

"text": "\"Femoral nerve Femoral nerve and its relevance to upper leg pain is the topic under discussion. This is not a highly academic dissertation on neuroanatomy but rather how the mid and upper lumbar spine relates to chiropractic practice. Dear Chiropractors, add your practice to our Directory The upper lumbar plexus supplies five major nerves and some smaller ones, all of which overlap giving off little branches which connect with each other, making the precise diagnosis of the pain patterns difficult. Fortunately, in chiropractic practice, it's not usually necessary to make a decision whether the entrapment is of the the ilio inguinal or hypogastric, for example. Medicine does it by injecting blocks to determine the level. The spinal adjustment is determined by the spinal segment involved, rather than the particular fibre. For example, the L2 root could affect three different nerves, not to mention the posterior primary rami. Determining the level to manipulate is not usually simple; it's based on motion palpation, referral pattern, tenderness, reflex and dermatomal changes as well as any scans if they are available. Having decided the second lumbar vertebra is the spoke in the wheel, it's not critical to the chiropractor whether the genitofemoral, lateral cutaneous or ilioinguinal nerves are involved. What is vital is knowing that the lateral femoral cutaneous is a sensory nerve and would not affect the quadriceps muscle; also one would need to work in the groin where it is often secondarily entrapped."

However most hernia repairs are now performed laparoscopically with keyhole surgery. LAPAROSCOPIC GROIN HERNIA REPAIR is a technique to fix tears and hernias in the abdominal wall muscle using small incisions, a telescope and a mesh patch. It offers a quicker return to work and normal activities, with less pain, for some patients. If your surgeon has recommended a laparoscopic repair of your hernia, this brochure can help you understand what a hernia is and will give you more information about the operation. WHAT IS A HERNIA? When a hernia occurs, it means the layers of the abdominal muscle have weakened, resulting in a bulge or tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tyre, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a balloon-like-sac. This can allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the sac. The hernia can cause severe pain and other potentially serious problems that could require emergency surgery."

"text": "Hip, Buttock & Groin Pain Even though hip pain, buttock pain and groin pain can be related and are grouped together in this article, they are usually from different causes. Pain in the buttock / gluteal area is usually due to problems of the pelvis, sacrum, low back and or muscles of the buttock area (gluteal and other muscles). The cause can also be from other body parts, such as the knees, ankles or feet. On the contrary, problem of the actual hip joint rarely gives pain in the buttock area. The pain is rather more likely in the groin area. However, even though hip joint problem “fakes” pain in the groin area, it is not the most common cause of groin pain. The most common cause of groin pain is due to problems of muscles and other soft tissues that are attached to the groin area. These differentiations may sound confusing, but it is very important to be precise in the diagnosing the exact problem, otherwise the recovery can be long, slow, and ineffective. Pain at the buttock and thigh areas are usually diverse and are covered by many different diagnoses, including bursitis (trochanteric bursitis, ischial bursitis, iliopsoas bursitis), tendinitis (most commonly iliopsoas tendinitis), iliotibial band (ITB or IT band) syndrome, piriformis syndrome, etc. However, these diverse diagnoses only specify the location and nature of the problems without providing enough insight for an effective treatment."

Around 95% of penile cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Penile cancer is rare form of cancer that occurs mostly in uncircumcised men, meaning they still have a piece of skin called the foreskin. Circumcision may reduce the risk of penile cancer. Other types of penile cancers such as Merkel cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, melanoma and other are generally rare.

Degenerative changes in the lower limb aren't just uncomfortable; they're also disabling and that's even worse. Walking becomes painful and difficult. It's wear and tear, and is the most common type of inflammation of the pelvis. The protective hyaline cartilage over both the ball and socket, known as the acetabulum, the roof covering the femoral head, is progressively worn away, leaving the bare bone exposed within the joint.

"text": "\"Hip muscle pain and groin pulls You hip is a complicated joint with 17 muscles, 5 bones, numerous tendons, ligaments and bursae connecting your leg bone (femur), pelvis and spine all together. There are two areas of muscles in the hip that you may have strained or pulled. First are your hip adductor muscles help to bring your legs together and rotate your hip inwards towards the midline of your body. The short adductors include the pectineus, adductor brevis, and adductor longus, and the long adductors include the adductor magnus and gracilis. All of these muscles are located on the inside of your thigh. At the end of these muscles are tendons, which are tough, fibrous tissues that connect your muscles to your bones. Most of these muscles and tendons attach your pubic bone (lower part of the pelvis) to your thigh bone (femur); however the gracilis muscle attaches to the lower leg bone (tibia) not the femur. These muscles and tendons start in the groin (crease at the junction of the inner part of the thigh where it meets the body near the external genital area) and move down through the inner thigh to the inside of the knee. Second are your hip flexor muscles are among the most powerful muscles and tendons in your body. They are make-up the deep of set muscles at the front of your hip (iliopsoas), outer hip muscles (tensor fasciae latae), and muscles that lie over the top of the iliopsoas muscles in your front, upper thigh area (rectus femoris and sartorius)."

Hip pain, also described as “groin pain,” “groin pull,” “fork in my groin” “aching ovaries,” or a deep aching pain in one’s hip, can occur from injury to the hip brought on by mechanical dysfunctions in the joint, or the result of trauma from the high impact and deep flexion occurring in sports such as football, downhill skiing, martial arts and wrestling. It also can arise as the result of repetitive motion from certain movements such as golf or soccer. Or, pain can result from a congenital condition that causes wear and tear on the joint. Sometimes the pain is noticed after sitting through a movie or getting in and out of a car. Is there something I can do while waiting for a diagnosis? If you find yourself with hip pain, it’s important to consult a physician. An examination will help to determine what’s causing the soreness, since hip pain can actually come from the hip as well as the spine, pelvis or leg. While waiting to see your physician, there are activity modifications and exercises that may help to relieve some of the discomfort. View activities and exercises."

Question My doctor suggested I see a pain management specialist to help deal with my back pain. What does this specialist do? How does pain management really work? Answer I am sorry to hear that you are having such persistent trouble with your back. When back pain becomes chronic, I agree with your doctor that a referral to a pain management specialist or to a pain clinic is an excellent idea. Pain management is a discipline in medicine that is focused on helping people with chronic, incurable pain problems control and cope with their pain. The discipline is multidisciplinary, meaning that you don't just see a doctor but also will likely have the opportunity to interact with a physical therapist and a counselor. In this way, a comprehensive holistic plan for addressing your pain can be developed."

Oxycodone belongs to the group of medications known as opioid analgesics (narcotic pain relievers). Naloxone belongs to a group of medications known as opiate antagonists and is used to lessen the constipation caused by oxycodone. This combination is used to treat severe pain in adults who require 24-hour pain relief for several days or more. It should only be used by people for whom other treatment options are ineffective or not tolerated. Oxycodone decreases pain by working on the central nervous system. Naloxone works by blocking receptors in the gut that slow the elimination of the stool. This medication relieves pain for up to 12 hours."

Just don't bring your medicine to a VA facility. In recent years, vets who use marijuana medicinally have been thrown out of VA pain management programs as \"\"drug abusers\"\" after testing positive for marijuana. This policy shift will provide some solace, but only to those vets residing in states where medical marijuana is an option. The VA has clarified its policy. While restating that it remains illegal to use or possess marijuana at VA facilities because of federal law, the agency will now accept medical marijuana use in states where it is legal:\"\" [I]t is acknowledged that testing positive for marijuana in a patient, based upon a random drug screening, will not serve as a breach of the current pain management agreement if the patient submits documentation in support of the marijuana being prescribed and dispensed in conformity with Michigan law,\"\" wrote Gabriel Perez, director of the Lutz Veterans Affairs Center in Saginaw, Michigan. According to VA Watchdog, the policy appears to be the same in all states where medical marijuana is allowed under state law. But the VA has not released an official policy statement on the matter.56 comments Previous: Medical Marijuana: Rhode Island Dispensary Bill Passes House, Now Goes for Final Senate Approval Next: Drug Testing: Random Suspicionless Drug Tests Suffer Double Smackdown in Louisiana Permission to Reprint: This article is licensed under a modified Creative Commons Attribution license.

S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has recently changed the classifications of two painkillers that are sometimes prescribed for fibromyalgia: tramadol and hydrocodone. While the tramadol change will have only minimal impact on patients, the new hydrocodone restrictions are much more severe and could be problematic for many patients. Tramadol Effective August 18, 2014, tramadol – previously an unscheduled prescription medication on the federal level – became a Schedule IV drug. A number of states had already proactively reclassified it as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse. Tramadol is also known by the brand name Ultram. It is a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic approved to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It works primarily by binding to the mu-opioid receptors to block pain and in a weaker way, by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine – similar to the way antidepressants work to help reduce pain. Schedule IV drugs have only limited restrictions: Prescription orders are valid for 6 months. Five refills are allowed in a 6-month period. Oral prescriptions are allowed."

Follow 16 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Are you talking about infant circumcision? No, babies are never given general anesthetic. About a week ago a toddler in New York was given general anesthetic for a circumcision, and he died from it. Even local anesthetic is potentially dangerous. There are also risks to pain management, especially with infants. Some doctors don't use *any* pain management with infant circumcision. Most use a small amount, ssuch as sugar water (which, according to a recent study, doesn't do anything to reduce pain, only changes the baby's facial expression to make it seem like less pain is felt). Others use numbing creams or injections. However, some doctors do not wait enough time for the pain killer to go into affect, so technically its use is moot."

For the original article on Piero della Francesca see DSB, vol. 5. Piero is one of the few persons who figures prominently both in the history of mathematics and art. While he has received much attention as a painter, his contributions to mathematics are not so well known and will be the main topic of this addendum (for Piero and mathematics in general, see the 2005 book by J. V. Field and its references; for Piero and perspective, see also the 2007 book by Kirsti Andersen and its references). Although many scholars have worked on Piero during the decades since the original DSB article and thrown much light on his work, basic knowledge about him is still lacking. Thus, his exact year of birth is unknown, just as it is unclear how and where he learned mathematics and painting. Likewise, scholars have no dates for when he composed his three books on mathematics. Of these, his Trattato d’abaco (referred to as Trattato) is supposed to be the earliest. It belongs to the so-called abacus books, which, despite their name, presented not the abacus but mathematics on an elementary level for future merchants, bank clerks, artisans, and artists."

His father was Ser Giovanni di Mone Cassai, a notary, while his mother, Monna Iacopa, was the daughter of an innkeeper. Masaccio’s brother Giovanni was also an artist; called lo Scheggia (“the Splinter”), he is known only for several inept paintings. According to the biographer Giorgio Vasari (who is not always reliable), Tommaso himself received the nickname Masaccio (loosely translated as “Big Tom,” or “Clumsy Tom”) because of his absentmindedness about worldly affairs, carelessness about his personal appearance, and other heedless—but good-natured—behaviour."

"text": "\"The \"\"Betsy Ross\"\" flag A \"\"Betsy Ross\"\" flag flying outside San Francisco City Hall The Betsy Ross flag is an early design of the flag of the United States, popularly attributed to Betsy Ross, using the common motifs of alternating red-and-white striped field with five-pointed stars in a blue canton. The flag was designed during the American Revolution and features 13 stars to represent the original 13 colonies. The distinctive feature of the Ross flag is the arrangement of the stars in a circle. Although the Betsy Ross story is accepted by most Americans, some flag historians and revisionists do not accept the Betsy Ross design as the first American flag. According to the traditional account, the original flag was made in June 1776, when a small committee—including George Washington, Robert Morris and relative George Ross—visited Betsy and discussed the need for a new American flag. Betsy accepted the job to manufacture the flag, altering the committee's design by replacing the six-pointed stars with five-pointed stars. While the Betsy Ross legend is questionable, the flag design is known to have been in use by 1777; Alfred B. Street described it at the surrender of General Burgoyne, and understood the circle of stars to represent equality among the American states [1] The credibility of Alfred Streets description may yet be an open question as he was not present at the surrender; his description dates to 1877 and he was not even born until 34 years after the event. The flag is, nevertheless, one of the oldest versions of U. S. flags known to exist; while it is not the oldest surviving flag artifact in cloth form, its likeness appears on older physical relics, namely, the contemporary battlefield paintings by John Trumbull and Charles Willson Peale. They depict the circular star arrangement being flown from ship masts and many other places, and thus provide the first known historical documentation of the flag's appearance. File: US-Dept Of Veterans Affairs-Seal-Large.png The Betsy Ross design of 13-star US flags has been featured in many popular artworks (sometimes inaccurately, as in Washington Crossing the Delaware) and films, such as the 1960 version of Pollyanna."

He left Hungary, traveled through the Netherlands, and finally settled in Nuremberg, where he perfected his craft with Hieronymus Holper. He married Holper’s daughter Barbara. The printer and publisher Anton Koberger stood godfather to the younger Dürer. Dürer attended the Lateinschule in St. Lorenz and learned goldsmithing from his father. From 1486 to 1489 he studied painting with Michael Wolgemut (then the leading church painter of Nuremberg); in Wolgemut’s workshop he was able to learn not only all the standard painting techniques but also woodand copper-engraving. In 1490, in accordance with the custom of the painter’s guild, Dürer went on his Wanderjahre.

Lead exposure occurs when lead dust or fumes are inhaled, or when lead is ingested via contaminated hands, food, water, cigarettes or clothing. Lead entering the respiratory and digestive systems is released to the blood and distributed throughout the body. More than 90% of the total body burden of lead is accumulated in the bones, where it is stored. Lead in bones may be released into the blood, re-exposing organ systems long after the original exposure. What are the Adverse Health Effects that Lead Exposure Can Have on Adults? The toxic nature of lead is well documented. Lead affects all organs and functions of the body to varying degrees. The frequency and severity of symptoms among exposed individuals depends upon the amount of exposure."

These are the Archaic, the Classical and the Hellenistic. The Archaic period is usually dated from 1000 BC. The Persian Wars of 480 BC to 448 BC are usually taken as the dividing line between the Archaic and the Classical periods, and the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC is regarded as separating the Classical from the Hellenistic period.

"text": "Art criticism, the analysis and evaluation of works of art. More subtly, art criticism is often tied to theory; it is interpretive, involving the effort to understand a particular work of art from a theoretical perspective and to establish its significance in the history of art. Many cultures have strong traditions of art evaluation. For example, African cultures have evaluative traditions—often verbal—of esteeming a work of art for its beauty, order, and form or for its utilitarian qualities and the role it plays in communal and spiritual activities. Islamic cultures have long traditions of historiographical writing about art. Works such as Mustafa Ali’s Manāqib-i hunarvarān (1587; “Wonderful Deeds of the Artists”) often focus on the decorative traditions, such as calligraphy, woodwork, glassware, metalwork, and textiles, that define Islamic art. China also has a strong tradition of art evaluation, dating back to writers such as Xie He (active mid-6th century), who offered the “ Six Principles ” for great art—a major principle being the qi yun sheng dong (“spirit resonance, life-motion”)—and to literati, who wrote biographies of great artists. For these and other regional approaches to art evaluation and historiography, see art, African; arts, Central Asian; arts, East Asian; arts, Islamic; arts, Native American; art and architecture, Oceanic; arts, South Asian; and arts, Southeast Asian. Like all these examples, the Western tradition has a set of evaluative criteria—sometimes shared with other cultures, sometimes unique—as well as elements of historiography. Within the history of Western art writing, however, is a distinct critical tradition characterized by the use of theory; theoretical analyses of art in the West—made either to oppose or to defend contemporary approaches to art making—led to what is generally understood as the discipline of “art criticism.”"

Van Dyck's career flourished and he went on to become England's leading court painter. Using his own compositional techniques, van Dyck was soon ranked alongside Titian in terms of style and the relaxed elegance of his portraits helped shape English portraiture for almost two centuries. Anthony van Dyck was particularly well-known for redefining the iconographical style as well as his fresh approach to new color schemes. As well as portraits van Dyck also painted biblical and mythological subjects and was an accomplished etcher and engraver in his own right. He would often sketch his works as practise before executing the final version onto canvas. His etchings in particular show his great ability to define light and shadow contrasts and his dexterity in creating fine lines and detail to ensure a realistic rendering of the sitter. Anthony van Dyck Artistic Context Charles IAnthony van Dyck Flanders' art scene prospered during the 17th century and the country produced many talented artists who were in great demand across Europe. This heralded a new era in Counter-Reformation art as well as art from the Protestant North, as Flanders combined these tastes and styles. Anthony van Dyck was the next big artist after Rubens and one of his former students."

You can find this balance by monitoring your heart rate during any aerobic activity. Knowing how fast your heart should be beating and the consequences of going too slowly or too intensely will strengthen your cardiovascular system and burn fat while helping you prevent injury. Know Your Target Whether you're walking, jogging or taking an aerobics class, you want to maintain your target heart rate, which ranges from 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To find your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. For example, if you are 40 years old, your maximum heart rate is 180 (that is, 220 - 40 = 180). Multiplying this by 50 percent and then 85 percent results in your target heart rate range of 90 to 153 beats per minute. Exercising at the lower rate will give you a light workout, while the higher rate produces a vigorous workout. Going Beyond Maximum While short bursts of intense activity can boost your aerobic capacity and help your burn more calories, sustaining activity that puts you near or above your maximum heart rate can be dangerous. When you near or exceed your maximum heart rate, you are overexerting yourself."

Low: $300-$900 Medium: $1,000-$3,500 High: $2,500-$20,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (141)Professionals generally use paint spray guns to evenly apply automotive paint. It is important that the colors are properly mixed and applied smoothly, and in layers; an auto paint job can include 12-24 coats of paint, or more. Typical costs: Some shops offer a paint job for about $300-$900. In this price range, a shop typically uses an inexpensive synthetic enamel paint with a minimum number of coats; they might not paint areas like the door jams or inside the hood; and, in some cases, they may simply mask off rather than take off removable trim and parts (which can result in harsh masking edges or paint in unwanted areas). Cost Helper readers report paying $400-$875 for a basic auto paint job at an average price of $566; about a third of these readers say they are unhappy with the results. Expect to pay $1,000-$3,500 for a more thorough paint job using higher-quality, brand-name paint, with costs varying depending on the make, model and condition of the vehicle (the amount of rust and number of dents or scratches), and whether any interior or engine-area painting is included. In this price range, the process typically includes additional prep work (sanding, removing rust spots and dents) and ends with three to five applications of clear coat car paint [ 1] to protect the base paint color and to create a smooth, glossy final look. Cost Helper readers report paying $1,000-$1,800 for a mid-quality paint job, at an average cost of $1,316; most are happy with the results. A showroom-quality custom or specialty auto paint job can cost $2,500-$20,000 or more, depending on the make, model and condition of the vehicle, the location, and what is included."

The set designer produces a scale model, scale drawings, paint elevations (a scale painting supplied to the scenic painter of each element that requires painting), and research about props, textures, and so on. Scale drawings typically include a groundplan, elevation, and section of the complete set, as well as more detailed drawings of individual scenic elements which, in theatrical productions, may be static, flown, or built onto scenery wagons. Models and paint elevations are frequently hand-produced, though in recent years, many Production Designers and most commercial theatres have begun producing scale drawings with the aid of computer drafting programs such as Auto CAD or Vectorworks.

"text": "\"Toronto Website Design & Toronto SEOAbstract Expressionism In Search of Nothingness By Charles Moffat - January 2008. The term \"\"Abstract Expressionism\"\" was first used in Germany in connection with Rusian artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1919 (referencing the German Expressionists with their anti-figurative aesthetic), but later became more commonly associated with Post-WWII American Art. Alfred Barr was the first American to use this term in 1929, also in relation to the works by Wassily Kandinsky. Robert Coates (an American art critic) later popularized the term Abstract Expressionism by applying it to similar artists like Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. By the 1951 Museum of Modern Art exhibition 'Abstract Painting and Sculpture in America', the term was used to refer to all types of non-geometric abstraction. There are two major groups within Abstract Expressionism, which was influenced by Surrealism and Cubism: Colour Field Painters: Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still worked with simple, unified blocks of colour. Gestural Painters: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Hofmann used Surrealist techniques of automatic art. Not all the artists associated with the term produced either purely abstract or purely Expressionist work, but would sometimes delve into more realistic portrayals of objects or people. The term \"\"Abstract Expressionism\"\" was also difficult to understand. Harold Rosenburg preferred the phrase \"\"Action Painting\"\" and art critic Clement Greenberg preferred \"\"American Type Painting\"\"."

"text": "How much does it cost to paint a stairway? Painting a stairway refreshes a room with a new look. It can turn boring stairs into a focal point in any decor and create a more personalized space. Stairways may seem simple and even basic, however, in reality, they are complex with numerous risers and treads. The intricate angles of a stairway benefit from having a professional painter handle the project to ensure it looks ideal when complete. The multi-angled nature of a stairway design and build can quickly create mounting costs when painting the structure. An average 12’ high, straight stairway will usually cost from $350-$450 to have it painted by a professional painter. Parts of a stairway Many parts of a stairway can be painted and must be factored in when determining the final cost. Walls, treads, risers, posts, balusters, ceiling, spindles, and handrails may or may not be present on the stairway. Each item can be painted separately at a future date or factored in as one complete job."

Both of them are created using a huge variety of dark and light color mixtures.

Although both seem similar, there are certain differences between the two forms of art creation. Read this one HOWTO article to know what is the difference between Chiaroscuro and Tenebrism.

This technique is often used to add a dramatic effect to the artwork. According to the underlying principle, a form’s solidity can be perfectly achieved by using the light that falls against it. Some of the most well-known artists who used this technique include Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci in Renaissance art."

March 13, 2015 at 7:00 am Filed Under: blake shelton, Brad Paisley, Eric Church, Gary Stewart, george jones, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams Jr., Kip Moore, lady antebellum, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, Merle Haggard By Kurt Wolff and Annie Reuter Everyone knows country music is full of drinking songs. Be it whiskey, beer, a “Little Glass of Wine” or “White Lighting,” booze has been a part of the music’s fabric since the genre got off the ground in the 1920s. Drinking songs held strong during the honky-tonk era of Hank, Lefty, George and Ernest Tubb, and well into the ’80s and ’90s (“Friends in Low Places,” anyone?). And of course drinking songs are still a staple among today’s artists, from barrooms and beer halls to a seemingly endless stream of tailgate parties and red Solo cups. Related: Which Country Artist First Sang About Tailgate Parties? We could spend days compiling a long list of drinking songs in all shapes and styles. But in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we chose to focus our list below on songs that are about not just having a drink or two, but where having a few (or more) is the main point. So for instance, Luke Bryan’s “Drink a Beer” doesn’t qualify—it’s a powerful song, but the focus is on the narrator’s grief after losing a friend. However, Bryan’s earlier single “All My Friends Say,” where the narrator can’t remember what he did last night?"

"text": "\"Brad Paisley's Wife, Kimberly, Tells The Adorable Story Of How They Met Advertisement Photo credit: Associated Press via 790 KGMI News Talk Brad Paisley saw his wife, Kimberly Williams, for the first time during a trip to the movies. But rather than meeting her in front of the concession stand, Paisley saw Williams for the first time on the silver screen. Williams, who is an actress, was starring in the 1991 comedy Father of the Bride, and Paisley found himself drawn to her. As it turns out, he went and saw the movie with his girlfriend at the time, but when they broke up, Paisley went by himself to see Williams in the sequel to Father of the Bride in 1995. After that, Paisley couldn't shake Williams out of his mind, and later told Good Housekeeping magazine in 2009 that he thought, \"\" s he seems like a great girl — smart and funny and all those things that are so hard to find . \"\" During a 2015 interview on the Meredith Vieria Show, Williams explained how she finally ended up meeting Paisley after he had adored her from afar for so long.\"\" He swears, it had never happened before, he woke up one day and decided he wanted to call me ,\"\" she said. Much to William's own surprise, she agreed to go out with Paisley and ended up appearing in his music video for the song \"\"I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song).\"\" Although their relationship got started in an unusual way, Williams says they fell for each other fast, and after eight months of dating, they were engaged. Paisley and Williams married on March 15, 2003 and have since had two sons together, William Huckleberry and Jasper Warren."

"text": "\"The Huffington Post UK's Beyond Belief series chronicled the remarkable lives of Britons who've taken on their faith to create a force for change.

Richard Dawkins, Britain’s best-known atheist, has argued that religion has been the main cause of violence and war throughout history. He wrote in his 2013 autobiography that “religion is the principal label, and the most dangerous one, by which a ‘they’, as opposed to a 'we' can be identified. \"\" Dawkins has said that if religion were somehow abolished, there would be \"\"a much better chance of no more war\"\".

While the art of henna tattooing is a cultural practice that dates back over 5,000 years, henna tattooing today is used as a popular form of expression for luck and happiness and can be found in many ceremonial practices, including Blessingways, marriages, births and battle. Most all Henna artists will suggest that the practice of Mehndi is freehand and intuitive. Applying henna can be a deeply moving and communicative experience for both the bearer and the artist and opens a spiritual connection where a gifted blessing can be received. Traditional Henna Placement While henna designs can be applied nearly anywhere on the body, certain locations have special meaning and significance. Henna that is placed on the palms of the hand allow the bearer to receive and offer blessings. Popular henna deigns for the palms include mandalas, sun and flower images. Henna placed on the top of the hands can be suggestive of protection and often includes shield designs. For men, the right hand is considered projective whereas the left hand for women is receptive. The feet are truly a spiritual place to henna, as they connect the body, mind and spirit with the earth."

Balazs Mohai/European Pressphoto Agency Prince’s Addiction and an Intervention Too Late Prince appears to have had a problem with pain pills, one that grew so acute that his friends turned to an addiction doctor just before his death. By JOHN ELIGON, SERGE F. KOVALESKI and JOE COSCARELLI MAY 4, 2016CHANHASSEN, Minn. — Prince Rogers Nelson had an unflinching reputation among those close to him for leading an assiduously clean lifestyle. He ate vegan and preferred to avoid the presence of meat entirely. He was known to eschew alcohol and marijuana, and no one who went on tour with him could indulge either. But Prince appears to have shielded from even some of his closest friends that he had a problem with pain pills, one that grew so acute that his friends sought urgent medical help from Dr. Howard Kornfeld of California, who specializes in treating people addicted to pain medication. Dr. Kornfeld, who runs a treatment center in Mill Valley, Calif., sent his son on an overnight flight to meet with Prince at his home to discuss a treatment plan, said William J. Mauzy, a lawyer for the Kornfeld family, during a news conference on Wednesday outside his Minneapolis office. But he arrived too late. When the son, Andrew Kornfeld, who works with his father but is not a doctor, arrived in Chanhassen, the Minneapolis suburb where Prince lived, the next morning, he was among those who found the entertainer lifeless in the elevator and called 911, Mr. Mauzy said."

We will tell you about the general structure of the pancreas, how the pancreas work in dogs, common diseases that affect the pancreas and common diagnostic tests performed in dogs to evaluate the pancreas. The term “Pancreat-” means pancreas. You will see this term used such as with Pancreatitis which means “inflammation of the pancreas”. What Is the Pancreas? The pancreas is a gland located in the dog’s abdominal cavity that serves important functions related to digestion and the production of certain hormones. Where Is the Pancreas Located in Dogs? The pancreas is located within the upper abdominal cavity in close proximity to the stomach, liver and small bowel. The pancreas is composed of two parts or lobes. The right lobe is located near the descending part of the duodenum, which is the first segment of the small bowel (intestine)."

Dogs who have repeated bouts of pancreatitis should be fed low-fat diets for life to prevent further recurrence. There are prescription diets created especially for dogs with pancreatitis and other gastrointestinal conditions, but they can be very expensive. High-quality, all-natural, low-fat dog foods are available at most pet food suppliers and contain limited ingredients that meet the guidelines for feeding dogs with pancreatitis. Some people prefer to cook for their dogs, and certain foods are highly recommended and quite soothing for dogs suffering from pancreatitis.

It was discovered by Frederick Grant Banting and Charles Best in a search for a cure for diabetes; insulin was discovered 4 months later. During the discovery phase, Dr. Banting and Charles Best worked alone to produce and test the drug on dogs. Dr. Bertram Collip and John J. R. Mac Leod joined the team when insulin test worked and the purification stage started. Dr. Banting and John J. R. Mac Leod were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 for their work and discovery of insulin. On January 23, 1922, the first successful test on a human patient with diabetes occurred. Insulin was given to dangerously ill Leonard Thompson, and his condition improved dramatically in just a few hours. The groundwork for the discovery of insulin, had been done by several other scientists before Dr. Banting and his team actually discovered it."

During this time, various organs reduce of food into nutrients (carbohydrates to simple sugars, fats to fatty acids, and proteins to amino acids) that your dog's cells can absorb and use. Unfortunately, most dog owners have experienced the unpleasant surprise of discovering the common consequences of canine digestive disorders - vomit and diarrhoea. Food moves from the mouth to the stomach via the esophageus. Inflammation or obstruction of the \"\"food tube\"\" or megaesophageus (a weakening and dilation of oesophageal muscles) may cause a dog to regurgitate food before it reaches the stomach. As the stomach churns food into a thick liquid (chyme), special glands secrete enzymes that break down proteins, hydrochloric acid that aids those enzymes, and mucus that protects the stomach from digesting itself. Vomiting is the most obvious sign of stomach inflammation. Just as food leaves the stomach into the small intestine, there is an organ that is attached to and parallel to the main digestive tract called the pancreas. This organ adds enzymes that help digest carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, plus sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize stomach acid. Also in the pancreas lies a tube attached to the liver call the bile duct."

The modern age has given us some amazing technological advances—what we would do without the internet, our i Phones or high-speed travel? For many people, surviving life without these things sounds rough. However, if you have diabetes, no doubt you’re also a big fan of one particular 20 th -century discovery: insulin. Before insulin was discovered in 1921, people with diabetes didn’t live for long; there wasn’t much doctors could do for them. The most effective treatment was to put patients with diabetes on very strict diets with minimal carbohydrate intake. This could buy patients a few extra years but couldn’t save them. Harsh diets (some prescribed as little as 450 calories a day!) sometimes even caused patients to die of starvation. So how did this wonderful breakthrough blossom?"

I constantly try to make the case against feeding dry food. But it’s really a hard concept to get across to people. Against me are the convenience and relatively low cost of dry food; and those are powerful opponents. In this article, I’ll give you 10 reasons why dry food is so very bad for pets so you’ll understand why, if you want optimal health and long life for your pet, dry food isn’t going to get you there.1. Ingredients Dry food is typically made from rendered ingredients, such as chicken meal, poultry by – product meal, and meat and bone meal (MBM). Rendering starts with animal-source ingredients being fed into a massive grinder to reduce them to chunks. The resulting hodgepodge is boiled at high temperatures for hours or even days, turning everything to mush. Fat floats to the top and is skimmed off for other uses. The remainder is dried to a low-moisture, high protein powder suitable for use in dry foods."

The medical definition of pancreatitis is simple: “inflammation of the pancreas.” But like all serious conditions, there is more to it than that. Because it is dangerous, a suspected case of pancreatitis needs to be addressed by a veterinarian as quickly as possible and not dealt with by “DIY” treatments. As with all medical issues, even the best online resource is not a replacement for the medical guidance from your vet. Before looking at the details of pancreatitis, let’s take away the “ititis” and explain the small but vital organ itself: The pancreas is responsible for releasing enzymes that aid in digestion. When the organ is working normally, the enzymes become active only when they reach the small intestine. In a dog with pancreatitis, however, the enzymes activate when they’re released, inflaming and causing damage to the pancreas and its surrounding tissue and other organs. According to the Whole Dog Journal, the enzymes can actually begin to digest the pancreas itself, which causes extreme pain to your dog. Classic signs of pancreatitis in dogs Hunched back Repeated vomiting Pain or distention of the abdomen (dog appears uncomfortable or bloated)Diarrhea Loss of appetite Dehydration Weakness/lethargy Fever If your dog exhibits one of these signs, and only infrequently, monitor her."

The liver is an organ consisting of several lobes that has a number of functions in the body, including metabolism, glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, and detoxification. Masses that develop within the liver may be either benign (e.g. nodular hyperplasia) or malignant. Liver tumors include hepatocellular carcinoma (malignant), hepatocellular adenoma (benign) and hepatoblastoma (malignant). Liver tumors have been reported to metastasize to other sites such as regional lymph nodes, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and others. How common are liver tumors in cats and dogs? Primary liver cancer is not common (<1.5% of all dog cancers and 1-2.9% of all cat cancers), however, the liver is a common site to which cancers from other organs metastasize, particularly from the spleen, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract. Hepatoblastoma is a rare tumor, hepatocellular adenoma is more common in cats and hepatocellular carcinoma is observed more frequently in the dogs.

( This appears to be unique to cats, unfortunately for dogs and humans. Dogs may experience remissions if their diabetes has a transient or secondary cause.) There is growing agreement among experts [1] [2] that a combination of low-carb healthy diet, well-chosen insulin, and well-chosen dosage plans can in many cases bring glucose levels and insulin requirements down to what the damaged pancreas can handle, and allow the cat's blood sugar to be controlled entirely by diet thereafter. ( A low-carb diet is usually required for the remainder of the cat's life. ) Remission has been claimed (by Dr. Rand and Dr. Hodgkins) to be a realistic goal for all cats who can be properly regulated quickly. Chances of success are highest in the first few months after initial diagnosis. This limited time window is probably caused by amyloidosis and glucose toxicity, and is a good reason to start with low-carb diet and very slow-acting insulins, the most successful known combination, right away. Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkins [3] and Dr. Jacquie Rand [4] both recommend regimes of Tight regulation to achieve remission. In cats whose diabetes has been recently caused by steroids or some other transient cause, remission seems particularly likely if regulation can be achieved early."

Pyloric obstruction or stenosis usually refers to a thickening of the various layers of muscle and mucosa (stomach lining tissue) that make up this region, leading to obstruction of flow of food or water through the stomach. This thickening is a benign, non-cancerous process. Pyloric obstruction or stenosis is most commonly seen in brachycephalic (short-faced) breeds of dog such as boxers, Boston terriers and bulldogs. These dogs tend to be young and predominantly male. It can also occur as a more chronic condition in small breeds of dog such as Lhasa apso, shih tzu and Maltese terrier. These dogs tend to be middle-aged to older. If food and water cannot move through the stomach, the dog will regurgitate or vomit and become sick, dehydrated, and depressed. Untreated, the chronic vomiting can lead to significant metabolic problems, weight loss and the risk of aspiration pneumonia. This combination of problems could easily become fatal."

Metabolism refers to how the body converts food to energy. To understand what diabetes is, it helps to understand some of this process. The glucose–insulin connection The conversion of food nutrients into energy to power the body’s cells involves an ongoing interplay of two things:• Glucose: essential fuel for the body’s cells. When food is digested, the body breaks down some of the nutrients into glucose, a type of sugar that is a vital source of energy for certain body cells and organs. The glucose is absorbed from the intestines into the blood, which then transports the glucose throughout the body.• Insulin: in charge of fuel delivery. Meanwhile, an important organ next to the stomach called the pancreas releases the hormone insulin into the body."

"text": "What is inflammatory bowel disease? Inflammatory bowel disease is a condition in which the intestine is chronically infiltrated by inflammatory cells. It is characterized by certain cells invading the wall of the intestine or stomach. The cells are those associated with inflammation, which is the body's reaction to an insult or injury. Inflammatory cells include lymphocytes and plasmacytes which are directly responsible for the body's immune response. Eosinophils are another cell commonly present in inflammation. Other inflammatory cells called neutrophils are responsible for the actual destruction of foreign invaders such as bacteria or clean up of damaged tissue. Finally, in chronic inflammation, normal tissue may be replaced by fibrous (scar-like) tissue. The types of cells infiltrating the intestine determine the type of inflammatory bowel disease that is present. Type of Infiltrate Type of IBD Characteristics Lymphocytes and Plasmacytes Lymphocytic-plasmacytic IBD Most common form of IBDEosinophils Eosinophilic IBD Second most common form Tends to be more severe than lymphocytic-plasmacytic Fibrous Tissue and Eosinophils Regional Granulomatous Rare Similar to Crohn's disease in humans Neutrophils Suppurative or Neutrophilic Need to exclude bacterial infection as a cause of the infiltrate What causes inflammatory bowel disease in dogs?"

"text": "The True Inventor of Insulin – Nicolae Paulescu By Mihaela Lica on September 12, 2008Without the work of Nicolae Paulescu the history of medicine would probably have a different course, particularly the history of diabetic medicine. The distinguished Romanian scientist was the first to discover insulin (which he called pancreine). In 1916 Paulescu developed an aqueous pancreatic extract which normalized the blood sugar levels in a diabetic dog. He had to interrupt his experiments during the World War I till 1921 when he wrote an extensive whitepaper on the effect of the pancreatic extract injected into a diabetic animal: Research on the Role of the Pancreas in Food Assimilation. The paper was published in August 1921 in the Archives Internationales de Physiologie. His discovery was patented on April 10, 1922 by the Romanian Ministry of Industry and Trade – patent no. 6254. And the Nobel Prize Goes to…In 1923 two other scientists were to be recognized as the creators of insulin: doctor Frederick Grant Banting and biochemist John James Richard Macleod. Curiously enough, in 1921 Banting started performing the experiments that led to the “discovery of insulin” on dogs, inspired by the early works of Polish-German physician Oscar Minkowski who in 1889 removed the pancreas from a healthy dog to test its assumed role in digestion. If you go back at the beginning of the article you will note that Paulescu was successfully performing the same type of experiments in 1916."

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A Panhard rod (also called Panhard bar, track bar, or track rod) is a suspension link that provides lateral location of the axle. [ 1] Originally invented by the Panhard automobile company of France in the early twentieth century, this device has been widely used ever since. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Advantages and disadvantages3 Applications4 See also5 References Overview [ edit]While the purpose of automobile suspension is to let the wheels move vertically with respect to the body, it is undesirable to allow them to move forward and backwards (longitudinally), or side to side (laterally). The Panhard rod prevents lateral movement. [ 2] The Panhard bar is a simple device, consisting of a rigid bar running sideways in the same plane as the axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar attaches on either end with pivots that let it swivel upwards and downwards only, so that the axle can move in the vertical plane only. This does not effectively locate the axle longitudinally, therefore it is usually used in conjunction with trailing arms that stabilize the axle in the longitudinal direction. This arrangement is not usually used with a leaf spring suspension, where the springs themselves supply enough lateral rigidity, but only with coil spring suspensions. However, Ford used a similar connected rear axle damper (5th shock) on some Explorers and light trucks with rear leaf springs. Advantages and disadvantages [ edit]Solid axle and Panhard rod on a 2002 Mazda MPVThe advantage of the Panhard rod is its simplicity."

"text": "Track Bar Explained: A track bar is also known as a panhard bar. It’s purpose is to locate the rear axle along the centerline of the chassis. The current chassis manufactuers right side mounting bracket has a series of vertical holes so that the bar can be unbolted and moved up or down as required and then rebolted. Adjusting the right side track bar end upward moves the rear axle to the right, and therefore both rear tires. Adjusting it downward moves the rear axle to the left, and therefore both rear tires. Raising the track bar makes the car looser (oversteer) and lowering the track bar makes the car tighter (understeer). In a turn, a car transfers weight from the inside of the car to the outside of the car due to centrifugal force. On an oval track that means more weight moves from the left side to the right side in a turn. When the rear axle is moved to the right, more weight is moved to the left of the centerline. This allows more weight to transfer during cornering (more body roll)."

"text": "\"See also: Belt (mechanical)Timing belt Timing covers, lower pulley, accessory belts removed, exposing timing belt on a Nissan RB30E Engine A timing belt, timing chain or cambelt is a part of an internal combustion engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft (s) so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. In an interference engine the timing belt or chain is also critical to preventing the piston from striking the valves. A timing belt is usually a toothed belt -- a drive belt with teeth on the inside surface. A timing chain is a roller chain. Most modern production automobile engines use a timing belt or chain to synchronize crankshaft and camshaft rotation; some engines instead use gears to directly drive the camshafts. The use of a timing belt or chain instead of direct gear drive enables engine designers to place the camshaft (s) further from the crankshaft, and in engines with multiple camshafts a timing belt or chain also enables the camshafts to be placed further from each other. Timing chains were common on production automobiles through the 1970s and 1980s, when timing belts became the norm, but timing chains have seen a resurgence in recent years. Timing chains are generally more durable than timing belts – though neither is as durable as direct gear drive – however, timing belts are lighter, less expensive, and operate more quietly.

"text": "\"Jeep Wrangler and Cherokee problems: the \"\"Death Wobble\"\" / severe shimmy Norm Layton wrote that the “Jeep death wobble” is basically a shimmy, and can affect any suspension with a continuous tie rod (which nearly all solid axles have) to connect the front wheels. He noted, “Shimmy is normally cause by aftermarket application of larger tires, lifts that change the front axle setting for toe, or caster and camber, or worn or damaged parts. An out of balance tire, a broken tire cord, a bent wheel, or worn shocks can be the cause. ”Shimmy can be caused by wear or damage to the tie-rod ends, steering box, steering arm ends, or steering stabilizer; even an improper alignment can do it. A major cause is improper toe-in or toe-out, with oversized tires. Most shimmys come in certain speed ranges, and some are severe enough to require coming to a complete stop. They can be scary to the first timer who is not expecting such violent behavior after hitting a pot hole or railroad track, or just hitting a certain speed. These shimmies have little to do with design flaws, until design parameters are tampered with, or damaged. It’s been around since at least the 1950s, and is not limited to Jeeps. “Cherokee Vision” wrote, “Do not mistake an unbalanced tire or bump steer for death wobble."

Can I make the leaf spring rear into something acceptable with a watts or mumford link, or am I best off changing to the later 4 link coil spring rear end with the watts link. If I can use the lower control arms from the coil spring setup for my lower links and build a long 3rd link similar to the RRS conversions it would be a great setup I think, but am hoping for simpler answer to the problem. There is not enough room for diagonal top links attached to the diff. Would simply adding a mumford link give me a large gain in handling, close to what I would achieve with coils, or are leaf springs a lost cause? Brian Petersen (Mechanical) 7 Sep 09 10:56You can use leaf springs with a Panhard rod, just make sure it is as long as possible, horizontal at nominal ride height, and the attachment points at both ends are close to the same height as where the leaf springs attach to the axle (at nominal ride height) to minimize bind-up. You will still need to do some fabricating, because the attachment point at the chassis end will be in the middle of nowhere. Do you have enough clearance to the fuel tank behind the axle? Some (all?)"

Flag What can cause the steering wheel to shake? Answer by Stevenperez2 Confidence votes 142Answer: First check for mud, grease,tar,grime,stuck rocks on the in back side of wheels,tire tec's will not clean and remove gunk, this will shake off wheel weights even after balance and problems will still be there if not checked and cleaned. Check all linkage for wear or play,jack under each a-arm one at a time ,move tires left to right for linkage/ up and down for bearings & ball joints and cv axles if you get play or pop's and clicks have some one follow the noise. Shake's during braking, rotors are warped due to hot rotors hitting cold water puddles on the road. Shakes to the left or right,if the steering wheel shakes to the left put the left front tire on the right side, test drive if it starts shaking to the right that will be the bad tire,vise-versa if shakes to the right . Replace that tire and get a alignment check,steering wheel shakes are front tires,the whole car skaking is the rear tires. This is due to uneven wear on the tire the eye can't see. WORN CVC OR U-JOINTS, UNBALANCED TIRES ( COULD BE CAUSED BY LOSS OF A WHEEL WEIGHT, MUD OR SNOW IN YOUR WHEEL), BENT RIM, ECT. If you have directional tires make sure they are on the right sides Answer LOTS of THINGS; First define when it shakes and how it shakes."

Make sure the axle is maintained at a right angle to the frame rails. Block the wheels so that they can't creep forward or backward. Next, lift the pinion and place it on a floor jack. Then, jack the pinion up or down until the pinion angle is between 2-3 degrees up (higher toward the front of the car). This angle may vary with different applications, but it should always match the downward angle of your transmission shaft.

If you locked the rear diff, both rear wheels would spin the same number of rotations, not allowing for any slippage. Hence why you have to be careful doing this on pavement, because as you can imagine, it creates unwanted stress in the drive train. Locking the center differential would make the front and rear wheels behave the same way."

Daimler and Benz are traditionally credited with building the first cars in 1886, but the French claim it was first built in 1884 by Delamare-Deboutteville. Still others claim it was built in 1860. It all depends on your definition of a car. Contrary to popular belief, Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. He wasn't even close. What Ford did was perfect the assembly line technique, well after the turn of the century. This allowed him to lower the cost of the automobile drastically, bringing a rich man's plaything within reach of the masses, thereby changing Western society. Reason enough to be famous. In 1860 a Frenchman, Edouard Delamare-Debouteville, did some experiments and filed some patents for a self-propelled car."

Entries featured such improvements in aircraft technology as magnetos, self-starters, carburettors and other innovations. Sperry's entry was the sole participant equipped with a gyroscopic stabilizer apparatus, designed to improve stability and control. Sperry's device was mounted on a single-engine Curtiss C-2 biplane with a hydroplane fuselage. Flying with Sperry was his newly hired French mechanic and assistant, Emil Cachin. Considering that Sperry spoke almost no French and Cachin was equally ignorant of English, they seemed an unlikely team -- but they had hit it off with each other from the start. Sperry and Cachin had managed to become sufficiently conversant with each other's language to bandy about phrases such as stabilisateur gyroscopique and generator electrique with true Gallic flair. Now their opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility of the Sperry gyroscopic stabilizer was at hand. Lawrence's father, Elmer A.

Cars have increased personal mobility and permitted people to live farther and farther from their workplaces, leading to the formation of suburbs and the increase in urban sprawl. Cars and trucks bring goods and services to shopping malls and even right to our front doors. We judge others and ourselves by what kinds of cars we drive. Special memories - of family trips, first dates, and friends - are often made in cars. And although we're sometimes frustrated by how much time and money our cars devour, we can't imagine life without them. The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by one individual. Instead, it was the result of an evolution in technology that took place worldwide over centuries. Many inventors dreamed of building self-propelled machines, and plans for motor vehicles were actually drawn up by both Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton!The vision of self propelled machines capable of transporting people and goods was first recorded as early as 1645 when Gui Patin, of Paris, France wrote of:\"\"A certain Englishman, son of a Frenchman, who proposes to construct coaches which will go from Paris to Fontainbleau and return within the same day, without horses, by means of wonderful springs . . ."

"text": "Planting Pansies In Your Flower Garden Tweet There's nothing prettier than the burst of color provided by pansies in your garden. Although this widely recognized flower looks delicate, pansies are actually hardy, cold weather tolerant plants. This popular plant is one of the few annuals that can be planted in both the fall and the spring. Plant pansies in the early spring to add color to your flower garden. They are hardy enough to survive the cold snaps and occasional frosts that spring is so famous for. If planted early in the fall, pansies can thrive from early fall to late spring, providing color in your garden for both seasons. They won't bloom during the coldest part of the winter, but as soon as the weather breaks, your garden pansies will rebound and often bloom well into the spring season. If you happen to have a mild winter, you may have pansies blooming all winter long For best results with your pansies, follow these gardening tips: Plant your pansies in well-drained, rich soil in a sunny to partly shady spot in your garden. Your pansies will do best when you plant them when the soil temperature is between 45 and 65 degrees Prepare your soil by mixing in a small amount of finished compost or rotted manure. You can pick this up from your local Southern States Plant the flowers six to ten inches apart - the closer you plant them together the thicker the row will be, but the flowers will have better air circulation and be healthier if you plant them a little farther apart To keep your pansies blooming, remember to deadhead the blossoms once they have turned brown A great gardening tip is to plant pansies in the same spot of your garden where you are planting bulbs."

Even if it means she looks like a mad woman on a mission. \"\" I have been known to dash outside, often still in my robe and slippers, banging a wooden spoon on a pan lid to scare them away,\"\" she says. \"\" But the more deer-resistant plants I put in, the less often I have to do that. \"\" Clausen, a gardener in Westchester County, N. Y, lives where deer freely roam the neighborhood. She's not alone in her battle to keep Bambi out of the petunias and pansies because nationwide the deer population — different species in different parts of the country — has grown to more than 30 million, or 20 times what it was 10 years ago, according to wildlife experts. It's enough to frustrate even the best of gardeners who get disheartened when they see their favorite rose reduced to bare branches and hoof prints in the soil as telltale signs of what happened. \"\" Unless you can afford to install a deer fence 8 feet or higher, it's difficult to have a garden at all,\"\" says Clausen.

"text": "\"Monday, March 11, 2013Planting container gardens: the dos and don’ts One of the top reasons gardeners love planting Wave Petunias and Cool Wave Pansies is they create gorgeous cascades of color in hanging baskets and decorative pots. To get the most from your containers, and have your plants bloom and thrive all season, The Wave Team has a few guidelines to make your spring a success! Don’t Over-Pack A misconception is that more plants in a pot will make it more lush. But with Wave it’s important that these vigorous beauties get their space. We recommend only 3 Wave plants in a typical 10-12 inch (25-30 cm) container. This will keep the plants from “fighting” for root space and nutrition, and encourage them to trail over the sides. Just a few plants go a long way! Do Keep Them Fed Wave petunias and Cool Wave pansies will get “hungry” each week. Because of their vigor, a regular application of liquid fertilizer spray every 10-14 days will keep them well fed and blooming healthy all season. Follow the instructions on the label for correct dosage for your container size."

"text": "Daffodils and Tulips in Containers Christine Skelmersdale gives some advice on choosing varieties for decorative containers Pots must be the simplest yet most rewarding method of growing any bulb, but especially daffodils and tulips. It needs no special skills and is virtually fool proof: just a matter of put them in and stand back. It is rather like the bold council spring bedding displays that fill every roundabout, but on a small scale. No garden is too small to squeeze in a couple of containers of bulbs and many will even make themselves at home in that tiniest of gardens, the window box. Pots can be used singly or in pairs to mark focal points in the garden, to frame a door or gateway, to draw the eye along a path or just clustered joyously on a patio. Daffodils and tulips start flowering early in the spring and continue through to early May so a succession of pots can be used or one large pot can be planted with a succession of bulbs. These containers really do shout spring is sprung!Daffodils Daffodil varieties for pots need to be chosen with care. Many have a single large flower sitting on the top of a relatively tall stem with attendant luxuriant foliage so the actual flower power can be rather limited. They are also very sensitive to water, or more particularly, lack of it, quickly and irrevocably flopping if allowed to dry out. There is nothing more dispiriting than a collapsed pot of narcissus, even more so if it is a window box in full public view."

How to Get More Blooms From Pansies How to Deadhead Pansies Pansies ( Viola x wittrockiana) are common to gardens because of their vibrant colors, fragrance and minimal care requirements. There are up to 500 species of these low-maintenance, cool weather annuals. The flower on a pansy is typically no more than 1 inch in diameter. The most common flower structure has three petals that appear at the bottom of the flower with two petals that extend above. The length of time a pansy will bloom depends largely on temperature, but there are steps you can take through maintenance to extend the blooming period. Pansy Blooms With proper care, pansies will bloom in the fall and then again in the spring, from April to June, before weather heats up. Pansies grow best when temperatures are between 45 degrees F at night and 60 degrees F during the day. During the winter, the leaves of most pansy varieties will remain green, but blooming ceases. Miniature pansy varieties may continue to bloom during winter in temperatures as cold as those in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 4B. Planting Pansies Pansies should be planted outdoors in spring or fall because they perform best in cooler weather."

Noted for its pink-purple spring flowers that appear before its heart-shaped leaves, the tree can reach 20 to 30 feet in height and a nearly equal spread. Eastern redbud is characterized as a medium-growth plant, adding 13 to 24 inches in height per year, by Michael A. Dirr, professor emeritus of botany at the University of Georgia, in his book \"\"Manual of Woody Landscape Plants. \"\" Characteristics An Eastern redbud tree reaches 7 to 10 feet tall in its first five or six years, according to Dirr. During the plant's early years, its trunk usually divides fairly close to the ground. When mature, the tree has a spreading, rounded crown. Eastern redbud begins flowering at 4 to 6 years old, with flower clusters covering the tree. Its dark-green leaves turn yellow in fall, and its fruits are contained in brown pods that appear in October."

"text": "What does a Paralegal do? The paralegal profession is one of the sought after professions in the legal industry. In general, a paralegal is usually responsible for doing all of work for a lawyer. The career may require an in-depth knowledge of the legal field, but may have fewer testing and certification requirements than that of an attorney. A paralegal typically performs a variety of tasks; one of the most important is helping with the lawyer's preparation for a trial, meeting, or hearing. The paralegal may collect, analyze, and organize the information for the lawyer. Some paralegals may also prepare written reports for the lawyer as well. Fact checking is another task often handled by a paralegal. Paralegals will gather laws, articles, judicial decisions, and other official documents that relate to a lawyer's particular case and present them in an organized fashion. Preparation for a trial may not end with gathering information."

JAG, or JAG Corps, is the branch of the military that deals with military justice and law, so if you’re interested in the legal system, you may want to look into starting a military career. History JAG, or the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, is the largest and oldest law firm in the United States. Founded by George Washington in 1775, JAG was abolished in 1802, but made a comeback nearly fifty years later and has been around ever since. After creating the first JAG school in 1942 and growing tremendously in size, the JAG corps has become an essential part of the military. By the 1950’s, JAG managed to overhaul the entire military law system and create the Soldier’s Bill of Rights in order to ensure fair and humane treatment for all enlisted individuals. It’s been involved in everything from prosecuting President Lincoln’s killer to convicting Major Nidal Malik Hasan in the Fort Hood shooting that took the lives of 13 service members in 2009. From the Revolutionary War to Afghanistan and Iraq, JAG professionals have served wherever they’re needed since JAG was founded. Areas of Practice If you’re just learning of JAG and are wondering what JAG, also known as the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, is or does, you have to consider everything that’s involved with military law."

Her duties may include soliciting and acquiring contracts, negotiating and closing deals, and evaluating a contract's performance. She also may extend and renegotiate contracts and supervise a staff if she has one. If a contract is proposed for consideration to any department for any service or product, it should be presented to the specialist before anyone else. Among other duties, this job includes accurately interpreting the terms of a contract and verifying the credentials of the company with which the contract is made. Once the terms are clear and the validity of the company has been established, the specialist makes sure the contract terms comply with company's policies, as well as local and regional guidelines. After these points are substantiated, she may begin negotiations. Either alone or with clients or appropriate personnel, the specialist goes through the contract line by line. She takes notes regarding questions and concerns she may have with the terms or language. At the conclusion of her review, she and the contractor clarify these points and proceed to negotiations."

However, before deciding on a career in the field, one should be aware of both the advantages and disadvantages of the job. Advantages and Disadvantages of being a Paralegal Advantages of being a Paralegal Many who go into the legal field as a paralegal, find the work challenging and enjoy helping others while working as a professional. Others like the salary, work hours, and benefits. Challenging Work Okay, so you likely will not be given anything challenging, or probably even the least bit exciting, on your first day as a paralegal, and oftentimes not even every day after you have worked as one for 20 years, but there are interesting and challenging issues that arise from time to time, that can help make the work fun. Issues that your firm has never handled, those of first impression in your district, and very complex cases can all give a paralegal something stimulating to work on, even in a small law office. Helping Others Whether you choose to do pro bono or volunteer work, or you have a paid job working for a law firm, the opportunity to help others is almost always present in a paralegal’s job. Answering clients’ questions, assisting the attorney in coming up with solutions to their legal problems and holding clients’ hands though difficult situations can be quite rewarding to a paralegal that enjoys helping people. Family law, probate, and bankruptcy offices are all great places to work if you enjoy helping others and making a difference in people’s lives. Being a Professional Paralegals are trained professionals in their field and many enjoy others looking up to them as such."

Paralegals can expect to meet with clients, answer telephone inquiries, perform legal research, deliver documents to the courthouse and draft documents. If they work in a criminal law firm, they may attend court with the attorney, assisting him or her with handling documents at trial.

Experienced paralegals often perform at elevated levels doing substantive work very similar to the work of a lawyer. This is acknowledged in the National Federation of Paralegal definition of a paralegal:“…a Paralegal is a person, qualified through education, training or work experience to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of legal concepts and is customarily, but not exclusively, performed by a lawyer.  This person may be retained or employed by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency or other entity or may be authorized by administrative, statutory or court authority to perform this work.  Substantive shall mean work requiring recognition, evaluation, organization, analysis, and communication of relevant facts and legal concepts.â€� ( NFPA Definition of Paralegal, 2010)Then in terms of a career, three things about being a paralegal which transcend skill are the professional attributes, specialization possibilities, and life-long learning a paralegal enjoys in their vocation.  These elements heighten the feeling of belonging in a meaningful, satisfying career path, as well as, exemplify a rewarding, challenging job that evolves accordingly.

"text": "Paralegals And Unauthorized Practice Of Law UPL or Unauthorized Practice of Law is often one of the most dreaded terms for paralegals and attorneys alike. While the logical reason for this is that Unauthorized Practice of Law frequently results in the individual losing his or her credentials to practice, the additional factor is that states radically differ in what they deem Unauthorized Practice of Law. In order for a paralegal to avoid potential repercussions, it is essential that she familiarize herself with the term as it is defined by the particular state in which she lives. Most states in America conclude that Unauthorized Practice of Law covers any legal advice or legal services which are rendered by anyone other than a practicing attorney. Such states require that any work or duties which are carried out by a paralegal must be done under the supervision of a practicing attorney, or acting on his knowledgeable behalf. There are very few states which take a more lenient view of this subject. For example, California is one of the few states which allows for document preparation by non-attorneys. As long as the paralegal is not wrongfully misrepresenting herself as an attorney, or taking an attorney's role in court proceedings, she can earn a very comfortable living providing such basic services as preparing the documents for divorce proceedings and similar types of cases. Most states in America, however, do not go this far, and can legally prosecute a person who does this type of work for being Unauthorized Practice of Law. The best way of finding out what the status of UPL is in your particular state of residence is to thoroughly investigate the facts."

Can anyone tell me whether it would help later on if I wanted to become an LNC, to have some experience working as a paralegal in a law firm full time first? The way the LNC training programs talk, they make it sound like I'm wasting my time. It's kind of discouraging as an LNC career isn't something I feel I could handle just yet.

The simple answer to that question is a paralegal does whatever tasks assigned to him or her by the supervising attorney to assist the attorney in representing the client . What does a paralegal do: Assist attorneys during trials Organize case files and prepare trial notebooks Perform legal research on current laws and cases Prepare legal briefs Draft correspondence and legal documents Conduct client and witness interviews In smaller firms, a paralegal may perform secretarial duties while she is completing assignments. For instance, if the attorney gives the paralegal a legal pleading to draft, she may type the document herself rather than dictating the document for a secretary to type. A paralegal may also do her own office filing, copying and mail outs instead of giving these tasks to other staff members. However, some paralegals may spend all of their time performing legal research, interviewing clients or drafting pleadings. Because there are no national standards or certifications for paralegals, it is up to the legal community as a whole to determine job descriptions. A paralegal’s job description will vary depending on the attorney, the type of law the attorney practices, the size of the law firm and the location of the law firm.

Although every lawyer has his or her own unique way of doing things, most law offices share a surprising number of similar characteristics in terms of how they do business. Understanding some of them will help you to get more effective legal representation. Size Matters Law offices range in size from sole practitioners to firms with literally hundreds or even thousands of lawyers. While all of them charge for their time in one form or another, there are some practical distinctions to keep in mind that can roughly be broken down by the following categories: Sole Practitioners: Once a lawyer has passed the bar exam, it does not take much more to start his or her own practice other than renting office space and hanging up a shingle. Thus, it is not surprising that law offices of sole practitioners are probably the biggest single category of practicing lawyers. Sole practitioners can be excellent lawyers and so you may want to consider retaining one if it makes sense, given the nature of your legal problem. Although no two lawyers are the same, potential benefits of hiring a sole practitioner include: A more direct one-on-one working relationship with your lawyer."

"text": "\"From Issue 7, Vol. 1, October 2011Print | Email | Share | Subscribe | Recommend Who is a paralegal in Australia? In Australia, there is little formal recognition of, or status accorded to, paralegal professionals. Further, Australian lawyers have been slow to embrace the notion that persons other than qualified lawyers can perform quasi-legal functions. Working as a Paralegal in Australia Last year, the Chief Justice of Queensland called for a national ban on the term \"\"paralegals\"\" to prevent clients being deceived into paying $300 an hour for work done by \"\"unqualified\"\" clerks and secretaries. He said a deception was being perpetrated by those law firms that relied on staff, many of whom are paid less than $20 an hour, to perform work that was then billed to clients at up to $300 an hour. Interesting thoughts, indeed... According to Jill Irene Cowley, 1 who wrote a thesis on the subject, the word paralegal is not easily understood nor widely used in Australia and this translates into uncertainties as to qualifications, functions, and market position. Some are called paralegals, others legal assistants, law clerks, articled clerks, police prosecutors or court clerks. Is there an identifiable paralegal profession in Australia? The organization of the paralegal community in Australia is still very informal with no national professional association."

"text": "What Is the Typical Salary For a Paralegal? If you’re someone who wants to work in the law field, yet doesn’t want to become a full-blown lawyer, consider becoming a paralegal. Not only is the job as a paralegal very fulfilling for those who love law, the income is also nothing to laugh at, especially for those with seniority. What is a Paralegal? Chances are, you’ve heard the term paraprofessional being thrown around when discussing fields like law, business, education, and healthcare. A paraprofessional is someone who have been especially trained to help and assist professionals, yet they do not actually have the professional license. A paralegal is a type of paraprofessional who has the needed training and knowledge to help licensed lawyers. As a paraprofessional, you may even have the opportunity to work without any direct supervision by a professional, however, nothing you do will have official authority. Go to the following page to learn more about what paraprofessionals do: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/Legal/Paralegals-and-legal-assistants.htm. How much do Paralegals Earn?"

"text": "Become A Legal Assistant Legal Assistant So how do you actually become a legal assistant? What are the qualifications needed and what should you do? A legal assistant's job must be made clear first before you jump into becoming one. Most legal assistants would have completed a bachelor's degree and some have two-year associates degrees. A certified legal assistant is one who has completed the voluntary certification program of a professional association. A legal assistant is a legal professional who does many of the same work that lawyers do. However, there are particular tasks that are only reserved for licensed attorneys. If you really want to become a legal assistant, you should gain an entry-level position in a law firm and work your way up. Then get a certificate and obtain employment as an entry-level legal assistant. Actually, a lot of legal assistants start working with an administrative role and eventually become a paralegal."

"text": "Neuropsychologist Salary Neuropsychologists are professionals who deal with the diagnosis and treatment of various neuropsychological disorders. These professionals conduct a variety of different tests, from memory and language tests to tests designed to measure the intelligence, the emotional and the motor skills of the patient. Moreover, neuropsychologists are specialists that can teach psychology in universities, they can be an important part of the hospital staff or they can choose to open their own private practices. The median yearly wage of a neuropsychologist in the United States of America varies depending on the work environment as well as on the level of education of the professional but, on average, these specialists should expect a mean yearly wage that varies anywhere between $64,000 and 96,000. Pay Scale In Different Parts Of The United States In spite of the fact that neuropsychologists usually enjoy a great salary for their field of activity, some US states pay them more while others pay them less. Taking Arizona as an example, this state pays its neuropsychologists a mean yearly salary of around $101,000, whil,e the states of California, New Hampshire, Connecticut and the District of Columbia all pay their specialists salaries that are above $90,000 a year. Neuropsychologist Job Description Neuropsychologists specialize in cognitive psychology as well as in clinical psychology, and they can choose to either teach or to work in their private offices. Simply put, there are three main subfields of neuropsychology: paediatric, clinical as well as experimental, and the job duties and responsibilities of the neuropsychologist vary greatly depending upon the chosen subfield. Generally speaking, the daily duties of these professionals include assessing people who have suffered a stroke and helping them recover, providing their expertise during court trials as well as recommending or performing various neurocognitive tests, including brain scans. The bottom line is that the duty of the neuropsychologist is to conduct research and to determine whether there is a connection between the brain and the behavior of the individual."

"text": "One of your biggest responsibilities as a paralegal is going to be making sure that what you do and what your firm does is properly recorded. Keeping track of those records, of discovery, and of just about every other communication that comes into and leaves the office will often fall on your shoulders. Many attorneys prefer to give these tasks to their paralegal, rather than their legal secretary, simply because they can often bill their paralegal’s hours to the client. Whether you work for a very busy attorney or one who has a slower stream of work, keeping the office organized and the records updated is going to be a very important task, and one that you constantly have to stay on top of. This can become an overwhelming job, especially for paralegals that work in very fast-paced environments. Getting behind on these tasks can leave your swamped with work, unable to get back on top of the job, and missing deadlines. Because the legal industry is in an uptick, you are only going to see more work and encounter attorneys who are going to be more demanding of your time. Here are a few tips to make sure your record keeping is as good as it possibly can be: Learn your office’s case management system. Your office likely already has a case management system in place. If they don’t, now is the time to start looking for one and to implement it."

Kane (Originally appeared in print as \"\"Playground Politics\"\")January/February 2008 Table of Contents As the landscape of American education has evolved, the field of education law has grown to address new issues and respond to changing legal requirements. So, too, the paralegal’s role has evolved to include an ever-broader range of duties. “ Education law encompasses a vast variety of practice areas for a paralegal, from community work and lobbying for legislative change in statewide education policy to attending a hearing and advocating on behalf of an individual student in a disciplinary or academic classroom matter,” said Scott A. Hatch, J. D., a former paralegal. Hatch and his wife, Lisa Zimmer Hatch founded The Center for Legal Studies in Golden, Colo., and have authored several paralegal career books. Education law, also known as school law, is a broad and complex legal specialty encompassing a myriad of issues confronting school districts, school boards, boards of education, and colleges and universities on a daily basis. These issues include the administration and operation of educational institutions, instruction methods, curriculum, programs, sunshine laws, constitutional and first amendment rights, tort liability and school athletics. School law also encompasses legal issues that relate to school faculty and other employees, including contracts, salary, benefits, employee misconduct, dismissal, discrimination, labor relations and pension funds. Education law also comprises the laws governing students. A few of the more commonly litigated issues include discrimination, attendance, admission, student prayer, athletics, transportation, instruction, student records, curriculum, health, conduct, discipline, free speech/ religious expression, student safety and harassment."

"text": "Do you have a paralegal billing rate? By Kris L. Canaday, ACP | Practice Tips Not too long ago, I was talking with a young solo practitioner who needed help with trial prep. He has a growing practice but isn’t quite ready to hire employees; he does, however, need help – especially on larger cases. After he asked about my fees, he responded that he’d need to see if they were okay with his client. It’s not the first time I’ve had such a conversation with a young attorney and I immediately knew that he did not yet have his billing rates established. It’s difficult enough for young solos to develop their own billing rate (see, Are you pricing for success (or failure) ). When you’re starting your own practice, hiring personnel is generally the last financial obligation on your mind. A solo is used to doing everything alone. It’s not until much later, when the pressure of growth starts to suffocate, that thoughts of billing rates re-enter the picture:“Why am I struggling financially when I’m so busy?” “ Am I charging the right amount?” “"

The paralegal may collect, analyze, and organize the information for the lawyer. Some paralegals may also prepare written reports for the lawyer as well.

The question presented: the usefulness of an Associate in Arts (A. A.) degree in Paralegal Studies in securing gainful employment as a paralegal. For the record, Pls Hndle Thx should not be viewed as a straight-up advice column. Rather, PHT represents Above the Law’s irreverent reinterpretation of the conventional advice column, and the “advice” offered therein should be taken with (more than) a grain of salt. Alas, judging from some of the reader comments and blogosphere reactions, Marin and Elie’s comments were taken seriously — and viewed as insulting to paralegals, which was definitely not their intent. Based on the intense reaction (and traffic) to that controversial column, however, we learned that many people are interested in a more serious story about how educational credentials will affect the search for paralegal positions. Here it is…. For this post, we reached out to two prominent figures within the paralegal world: Gary Melhuish, Manager of Litigation Support Services at Ballard Spahr and Past President of the International Paralegal Management Association; and Chere Estrin, Editor-in-Chief, KNOW: The Magazine for Paralegals.

A study by the College Board shows that the median salary of a worker holding a bachelor’s degree is more than $20,000 higher than the salary of a high school graduate. While four-year college grads earn 66 percent more than the average high school grad, those with two-year degrees could be catching up. According to a report by the Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program, a nonprofit dedicated to state education and job training research, associate degree and certificate grads in certain fields landed higher starting salaries than the state’s four-year public college grads. According to the College Board, the median education debt for two-year degree holders was $7,130 in 2008 — the most recent year for which statistics are available. This compares to an average of $24,000 in student loan debt for those who completed bachelor’s degrees in 2009, according to the Project on Student Debt. With more years in the workforce and far less student debt to deal with, two-year grads can come out with a higher lifetime worth than their four-year counterparts. Check out these 11 jobs that provide four-year degree pay and benefits without requiring a bachelor’s degree.

"text": "5 Important Skills for a Paralegal to Have April 19, 2013 by Shelley Riseden Leave a Comment While there are many skills can be improved with practice, others may be very difficult to improve upon, and still others, are either present or they are not. Therefore, before you decide that you want to be a paralegal, you may want to look at some of the skills that are important in the legal profession and first decide if you already have the skills that it takes, are willing to develop them, or if perhaps a career as a paralegal is not for you. The top five skills that one may need to have in order to be happy and excel as a paralegal include organizational, technological, people, problem solving, and communication skills.5 Important Skills for a Paralegal to Have Organizational Skills A law office must be organized in order to run effectively, but attorneys seem to be one of the most dis organized groups of people. Some of them realize that they are disorganized, and need help arranging the office, but many of them do not. Whatever the case, the office will not run without organization, and that task will very likely fall to you, as the paralegal. If you are lucky enough to work for an attorney who realizes that he or she lacks organizational skills, you may be able to organize the office and have it running smoothly quite easily. However, if you happen to work for a boss who does not realize he or she lacks organizational skills, you may find that this task is quite the chore. Convincing someone who believes themselves to be running an organized and efficient office to change anything about the way it is run can be difficult, but with the right organizational skills, a paralegal can succeed at making the office run efficiently, which in turn will make the firm money. Whether working for an organized employer or not, a paralegal with great organizational skills is more likely to be happy and successful than one without such skills. Computer and Technology Skills Paralegals who work in both small law offices and for a large company, need to be able to not only use a computer, but deal with minor technology issues, such as printers that refuse to print, copiers that claim to be jammed, when no such jam exists, networks that go down for no apparent reason, and computers that lose files."

The reason that it is the so important is because without proper research and discovery of similar cases that will aid the lawyers in the case they are working in, the client could lose the case.

They are able to use life-saving medications and equipment. Many paramedics work on ambulances or emergency response teams. Hospital emergency rooms also employ paramedics, as do remote workplaces such as oil rigs. Training Paramedics are the most highly trained emergency medical responders. They require a high school diploma, followed by training and certification as basic and advanced emergency medical technicians. They then require 1,300 hours of training in emergency medical procedures including use of a cardiac defibrillator and giving intravenous medication. This training can take between six-and-one-half months and two years to complete. Some two-year colleges offer paramedic training that leads to an associate's degree, but this degree is not required."

"text": "What is a Paramedic? Emergency medical technicians, more commonly known as EMTs, are often the first ones to arrive at the scene following an emergency, ranging from house fires to car accidents and everything in between. Lives are often hanging in the balance, and EMTs must act quickly to save them. The pressure might be too daunting for most, but the reality is that people's lives depend on the speedy, competent care that EMTs and paramedics provide. EMTs and paramedics care for the sick and wounded while quickly transporting them to a nearby medical facility. EMTs and paramedics often work side by side with police officers and firefighters to provide the best all-around care in emergency situations. They typically operate in teams, with one person driving while the other continues to provide emergency care to the patient. There are three general designations, each with its own training requirements and responsibilities: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate and Paramedic. EMT-Basic and EMT-Intermediate are both expected to provide on-scene care and transport the patient to a medical facility, with the latter taking on more responsibilities. Paramedics are trained to provide additional pre-hospital care, including administering medications, interpreting EKGs and operating complex equipment."

"text": "\"Emergency Medical Services (EMS) EMTs and Paramedics Medicine and Healthcare How much does an EMT make?7 Answers Kris Arvidson, Retired Paramedic - practiced in Canada and USA. Answered Apr 1, 2016It all depends on where you work. Are you working for a private company that is competing in a large or small market or are you working for a public service - such as a combined fire / paramedic service. Also what country are you looking at, USA, Canada or Europe. As a former Medic who has worked in a public / city service in Canada and the US as well as private in both countries - I can attest to a large gap in the wages. Currently as a public service in Canada - 3rd service provider (police, fire, and EMS) basic EMT's in a union position start at $20-25/ hr plus benefits increasing with with seniority and education. Paramedics can make $28-45+ hr. With private, wages are competitive to a point - often private companies are smaller and are a starting point for newcomers, but employers are now starting to be more competitive with larger public services. In the US, I found the situation similar but with less benefits - very competitive for market share and employees often move around until they find a match.

"text": "Does EMT Training Require a College Degree? March 20, 2016 By admin Do I need a college degree to be an EMT or Paramedic? – this is the question frequently asked by those considering an EMS career. Answer: not necessarily, and not in every state or country, but let’s discuss the details. EMT and paramedic certification each require particular instruction and educational or academic courses as a way to receive EMT accreditation. The education required depends upon the level of certification you wish to obtain, the region or country where you live, and the requirements from the agency that would be employing you. Whether or not a college degree is required also depends upon the level of EMT paramedic training you wish to pursue and, again, the area/region in which want to be certified or licensed. A high school diploma is the first step regarding the necessary education to become an Emergency Medical Technician or paramedic. There are other specific requirements that must be met in order to enter EMS training programs.

"text": "How Long Will It Take to Become a Paramedic? One of the most common questions for those interested in becoming a paramedic is “how long will paramedic training actually take?” And the honest answer is that it varies, as each program has a different set of hours devoted to didactic instruction, clinical experience and field internships. If you’re simply interested in becoming a paramedic sooner rather than later, you might opt for a Paramedic Certificate. This can often be earned in less than a year. Conversely, if you’re interested in not only being a paramedic but advancing further in health care, you might choose a college that offers students an Associate Degree. A quick note for those planning to take the NREMT exam: if you’re serious about passing the NREMT test, you can find online EMT and Paramedic practice tests that will try to help you pass the examination on your first attempt. At a school like Chemeketa Community College in Oregon, for example, students are actually offered two-degree program options. In one, students can earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Emergency Medical Technology. This requires students to take general education courses as well as technical courses devoted to Emergency Medical Technology."

Previously having some experience as emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics provide advanced care to help stabilize patients in traumatic situations. Possessing advanced training, they're equipped to handle breathing and heart issues, administer life-saving medications and monitor patients. You may find this medical career rewarding if you can handle stressful situations while helping distressed patients in urgent situations. Although your work schedule can be demanding as a full-time paramedic, you can benefit from a more generous salary than you would as an EMT. Job Description Like EMTs, paramedics often work in ambulances and provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), offer treatments to help with allergic reactions and give basic first aid. However, they also have the skills to give injections, resuscitate patients, give fluids using intravenous therapy, use monitoring equipment and provide other advanced treatments. A paramedic career requires being a compassionate person who's a good listener and able to assist patients in situations where their lives can be in danger. The job is physically demanding and takes a physically fit person who can lift patients and move in whatever position is needed to help them.

They provide essential training for professional emergency medical technicians (EMT) or paramedics. Although a college degree in emergency services (or similar) is not a mandatory prerequisite for work in emergency medical service, it does provide a solid foundation for those seeking certification, which all 50 states require. To obtain national certification from the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), prospective EMS employees must pass a national exam. Candidates may not even take this exam until after they have met several educational requirements. To meet these pre-certification requirements, students have a variety of educational options to choose from, including certificate programs from community colleges, hospitals, and municipal departments. Many schools now offer online degrees in emergency services management. Since jobs and salaries in the EMS field vary greatly in scope, employers require different levels of certification depending on the position. Where some jobs may only require EMT-Basic certification, other jobs may require certification at the highest level, EMT-Paramedic."

Emergency medical services prepare to airlift the victim of a car accident to hospital, in Ontario, Canada. Emergency medical services, also known as ambulance services or paramedic services (abbreviated to the initialism EMS, EMAS, EMARS or SAMU in some countries), are a type of emergency service dedicated to providing out-of-hospital acute medical care, transport to definitive care, and other medical transport to patients with illnesses and injuries which prevent the patient from transporting themselves. [ 1] Emergency medical services may also be locally known as a paramedic service, a first aid squad, [2] FAST squad, [3] emergency squad, [4]rescue squad, [5] ambulance squad, [6] ambulance service, [7] ambulance corps, [8] or life squad. [ 9]The goal of most emergency medical services is to either provide treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, with the goal of satisfactorily treating the presenting conditions, or arranging for timely removal of the patient to the next point of definitive care. This is most likely an emergency department at a hospital. The term emergency medical service evolved to reflect a change from a simple system of ambulances providing only transport, to a system in which preliminary medical care is given on scene and during transport. In some developing regions, the term is not used, or may be used inaccurately, since the service in question does not provide treatment to the patients, but only the provision of transport to the point of care. [ 10]In most places in the world, the EMS is summoned by members of the public (or other emergency services, businesses, or authorities) via an emergency telephone number which puts them in contact with a control facility, which will then dispatch a suitable resource to deal with the situation. [ 11]In some parts of the world, the emergency medical service also encompasses the role of moving patients from one medical facility to an alternative one; usually to facilitate the provision of a higher level or more specialized field of care but also to transfer patients from a specialized facility to a local hospital or nursing home when they no longer require the services of that specialized hospital, such as following successful cardiac catheterization due to a heart attack."

"text": "A parasitologist is a scientist that studies parasites, and the relationship between the parasites and their hosts. While parasites can be found in any form of animal or plant life, parasitology is usually confined to the study of protozoan and metazoan parasites. A parasitologist also examines the way in which parasites move from host to host, and the effects that the parasites have upon on these hosts. He or she also looks for ways to fight parasites and prevent them from spreading disease. Because of the nature of living organisms, there is some overlap between the field of parasitology and other scientific disciplines, such as immunology, cell biology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Given the complex nature of the field, parasitologists work in many different capacities. For example, a medical parasitologist studies parasites that are found in humans. These include common parasites such as lice, fleas, and ticks, as well as more invasive organisms, such as pinworms, which are usually found in the colon, and tapeworms, which result from eating undercooked beef. Medical parasitologists are also concerned with more serious parasitic infections. Ticks may infect humans with Lyme disease, and mosquitoes are not only responsible for the spread of malaria, but viral diseases such as yellow fever and encephalitis, as well."

"text": "Introduction to the Apicomplexa Parasitic, pathogenic protists In traditional protist taxonomy , most parasitic protists were placed in the class Sporozoa. This group has since been found to include protists from a number of unrelated lineages, and has been dropped from current usage. However, many of the protists in the old Sporozoa share certain structural features, in particular an apical complex of microtubules within the cell. These protists have now been grouped in the Apicomplexa, probably the largest and best-known taxon of parasitic protists. There are about 4,000 known species, but this is almost certainly a gross underestimate of the actual number. There are no known fossil apicomplexans. However, the group is a very important part of the living biota. Apicomplexans infect both invertebrates and vertebrates ; they may be relatively benign or may cause serious illnesses. Species in the genus Plasmodium cause malaria in humans and other animals; an estimated 300 million people in over 90 countries are infected with malaria, and over 1 million die from it each year. Other apicomplexans cause serious illnesses, such as coccidiosis and toxoplasmosis, in humans and domestic animals."

She did so using genetics as a lens through which to see what was otherwise invisible. In her hands this lens offered many insights. It was King who first identified a key gene in breast cancer. It was King who helped to identity the missing dead in Argentina in the 1980s. It would also be King who, in 1975, first compare the genetic similarity of humans and chimpanzees. It was known chimpanzees and humans were similar, kin, but just how similar? One could only really guess. And to compare a chimpanzee and a human, one hunched, one upright, one furry, one relatively bald, one able to build cities, write, read and make music, one not, it seemed clear that a fair number of differences needed to be accounted for. King compared the genes of chimps and humans."

I’m wondering if this kind of cancer runs in families. Could I be at risk for it, too? Are there other things that can raise a woman’s risk for endometrial cancer? Are there any screening tests available for it? ANSWER: An increased risk for endometrial cancer can run in families in some cases, but it’s rare. More commonly, this kind of cancer is linked to risk factors such as obesity, age and having other underlying medical conditions. At this time, no screening test is available for endometrial cancer. Researchers are, however, studying a test that could help detect this type of cancer in its earliest stages. Endometrial cancer begins in the uterus, within the layer of cells that form the uterine lining, called the endometrium."

To do that, one needs to determine which type of medical professional is suited to treat that condition. But the medical field, like in any other fields in the industry, is made up of different types of doctors and specialists. Their intense and rigorous medical training have demanded them not only to master at least the basics of scientific discipline which include anatomy, cell biology, physiology, epidemiology, pharmacology, nutrition, and so on but also to specialize in their chosen specific field. To give an overview, below is a list of the complete & comprehensive 59 different types of doctors & healthcare professionals (both medical and non-medical) and the area they specialize in. Types of Doctors (Medical)#1 Allergist An allergist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the identification and treatment of asthma, allergies, and related diseases. In addition to that, an allergist is also trained in determining the factors that trigger such diseases.#2 Anaesthesiologist / Anasthesiologist / Anesthesiologist Anaesthesiologists play a major decisive role in pain management.

This major is popular among students who would like to work in agricultural business or in leadership positions on farms or ranches. Many students go on to graduate programs in specific areas of interest. This course of study can be good preparation, for example, for veterinary school, especially for those students more interested in large-animal practice. More than a major just for a person that likes working with animals, animal science is a sophisticated scientific major which requires an advanced level of knowledge in biology and chemistry. Education Students who major in animal sciences will do so out of the Department of Animal Sciences or perhaps the School of Agriculture at a university.

Some species cause dirofilariasis, a state of parasitic infection, in humans and other animals. There are about 27 species in the genus. [ 1] These are generally divided into two subgenera, Dirofilaria and Nochtiella. [ 2]Some species are well-known parasites, including Dirofilaria immitis, the dog heartworm, Dirofilaria repens, which affects many types of nonhuman mammals, and Dirofilaria tenuis, which usually parasitizes raccoons, but can infect humans, as well. [ 3]Human dirofilariasis is generally caused by D. immitis and D. repens. The former can cause pulmonary dirofilariasis, which may have no symptoms. Another form of the infection can be characterized by a painful lump under the skin or infection of the eye. [ 4] The nematodes are spread by mosquitoes.

[ 72] Current evidence indicates that although this organism (like many of the other protozoa) can coexist with its human host without causing diarrheal disease, [ 73] it can also be associated with acute and chronic diarrhea, and seems to be more prevalent in immunocompromised individuals. [ 72, 74, 75, 76] The epidemiology of B. hominis has been incompletely described, but it is almost certainly transmitted by the fecal–oral route. The organism has also been linked to the presence of overt symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. The majority of reports on the effect of antimicrobial chemotherapy for B. hominis infection are either case reports or small, noncontrolled studies. [ 72] Several studies conducted during the past 5 years indicate, however, that metronidazole 800 mg three times daily for 5–10 days is effective in some patients, although the paucity of information means that the accurate prediction of a response is difficult in individual patients. [ 77] Co-trimoxazole in standard doses (sulfamethoxazole 800 mg and trimethoprim 160 mg, twice daily for 7 days) is, however, reported to eradicate the organism in more than 90% of infected, symptomatic individuals. [ 78] Numerous other antiprotozoan componds have been tested, with variable results, but perhaps the most promising new drug is nitazoxanide. A placebo-controlled trial of nitazoxanide 500 mg twice daily for 3 days reported a clinical and parasitological cure rate of 86%. ["

The terminology follows zoological terms, rather than mycological terms, reflecting the initial misdetermination as a protozoan parasite. It is an extracellular parasite. All stages are found in lungs and because they cannot be cultured ex vivo, direct observation of living Pneumocystis is difficult. The trophozoite stage is thought to be equivalent to the so-called vegetative state of other species (such as Schizosaccharomyces pombe) which, like Pneumocystis, belong to the Taphrinomycotina branch of the fungal kingdom. [ 1] The trophozoite stage is single-celled and appears amoeboid (multilobed) and closely associated with host cells. Globular cysts eventually form that have a thicker wall."

"text": "A parasitic relationship is a relationship between organisms in which one organism, the parasite, gains some benefit from the other organism while the other organism, the parasite host, is harmed by the relationship. The parasite host is usually much larger than the parasite. Tapeworms, for example, are parasites that reside in the intestines of some vertebrates. While they can get very long, their bodies generally remain small enough to fit in the host's intestinal tract. Parasites use their hosts for many different purposes. Most commonly, parasite hosts are used as a food source for the parasite. They are also often used as a habitat for the parasites. Hookworms, for example, take residence in the intestinal tracts of mammals such as dogs, cats, and humans. Finally, parasites use their hosts as mediums for reproduction; tapeworms and other parasites tend to reproduce in great numbers inside their hosts. In some parasitic relationships, the larval development of the parasitic organism occurs in the parasite host's body."

"text": "\"Science A short history of equations What is Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle? How the sun shines and why the vacuum of space is not actually empty Alok Jha Sun 10 Nov 2013 03.00 EST03.00 EST7,072 24Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. Photograph: Alamy T he uncertainty principle is one of the most famous (and probably misunderstood) ideas in physics. It tells us that there is a fuzziness in nature, a fundamental limit to what we can know about the behaviour of quantum particles and, therefore, the smallest scales of nature. Of these scales, the most we can hope for is to calculate probabilities for where things are and how they will behave. Unlike Isaac Newton's clockwork universe, where everything follows clear-cut laws on how to move and prediction is easy if you know the starting conditions, the uncertainty principle enshrines a level of fuzziness into quantum theory. Werner Heisenberg 's simple idea tells us why atoms don't implode, how the sun manages to shine and, strangely, that the vacuum of space is not actually empty. An early incarnation of the uncertainty principle appeared in a 1927 paper by Heisenberg, a German physicist who was working at Niels Bohr 's institute in Copenhagen at the time, titled \"\" On the Perceptual Content of Quantum Theoretical Kinematics and Mechanics \"\". The more familiar form of the equation came a few years later when he had further refined his thoughts in subsequent lectures and papers. Heisenberg was working through the implications of quantum theory, a strange new way of explaining how atoms behaved that had been developed by physicists, including Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac and Erwin Schrödinger, over the previous decade."

Some things can move faster then light. One example is some distant galaxies, that are receding from us due to the universe expansion faster than light (BTW, contrary to a common misconception, we can still see them). Another example is various kinds of things, that are not really \"\"objects\"\" in the sense, that they do not carry any energy or information. If you direct a light spot from a mirror to a wall, and start rotating the mirror, the spot on the wall will be moving with a speed, proportional to your distance from that wall. If you move really far away, the light spot on the wall can move faster than light. The \"\"spots\"\" from some distant quazars move on the surface on Earth with speeds several times greater then light. There are some recent experiments, where a series of wave packets were sent through a medium with some exotic qualities, and some of the packets appeared on the receiving end faster than the speed of light. For reasons, too complicated to get into here, this effect belongs to the same category as the light spots from a moving mirror."

BACKGROUNDThe atom is composed of a small heavy nucleus, containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by light electrons. The protons are positively charged; the neutrons are neutral; and the electrons are negatively charged. In electrically neutral atoms, the number of protons in the nucleus is the same as the number of electrons. Since the electrons determine all the chemical properties of the substance, and since the number of electrons is determined by the number of protons, every substance with unique chemical characteristics (element) is distinguished by the number of protons. Changing the number of protons in the nucleus is equivalent to changing the element. The nucleus is positively charged since the protons have positive electric charge and the neutrons are neutral. Why don't the protons repel each other and fly apart? The neutrons bind the protons together with the strong nuclear force, which is stronger than the Coulomb electrical repulsion, at least for the smaller nuclei. Most of the lighter elements have an equal number of protons and neutrons, but many of the heavier elements tend to have more neutrons than protons."

A basic flow cytometer consists of five main components: A source of light i.e. Laser;A flow cell;Optical components to focus light of different colours on to the detectors;Electronics to amplify and process the resulting signals; and A computer. Most scientific procedures involve obtaining measurements as average values for the whole population, however, flow cytometric analysis involves measurements being made separately on each particle within the suspension in turn, and thus is a very important feature of flow cytometry. In addition several parameters can be measured on tens of thousands of individual cells within a few minutes, and this is the power of flow cytometry. The properties measured include a particle�s relative size, granularity, and fluorescence intensity. Any suspended particle or cell from 0.2-150 micrometers in size is suitable for analysis. There are two types of flow cytometer; the basic bench top type which only analyse cells, and more complex ones which can analyse cells and also physically sort them, called Cell Sorters. Flow Cytometry is a very useful tool and is used worldwide. Its importance in scientific research and diagnosis is increasing."

"text": "June 1911: Invention of the Geiger Counter Hans Geiger It is impossible to discuss the history of the atom without reference to the famous gold foil experiment spearheaded by Ernest B. Rutherford in 1909, which demonstrated experimentally for the first time the existence of the atomic nucleus. The results disproved J. J. Thomson’s earlier plum pudding model of the atom, and paved the way for Niels Bohr to develop his own atomic model, which continues to play an important pedagogical role today. A key element of that experiment was the invention of a reliable device capable of measuring alpha radiation, by Rutherford’s lab assistant, Hans Geiger. Born in 1882, Geiger was one of five children born to a philosophy professor at the University of Erlangen in Germany. Young Hans studied physics at the University of Munich and served a stint in the German military before pursuing graduate studies at Erlangen, earning his Ph D in 1906 with a thesis on electrical releases through gases. He then moved to England to become a laboratory assistant in Rutherford’s laboratory at the University of Manchester. Working with Rutherford, Geiger demonstrated that in the radioactive decay of uranium, alpha particles of two different energies are emitted, caused by two uranium isotopes. This led to his work with J. M. Nuttall to formulate the Geiger-Nuttall Rule in 1912, describing the linear relationship between the radioactive time constant and the logarithm of the range of alpha particles. To probe the structure of the atom, Rutherford wanted to devise an experiment to measure the electric charge of a stream of alpha particles hitting a target and scattering, hoping to demonstrate that alpha particles carry a double positive charge. Working with one of Rutherford’s undergraduates, Ernest Marsden, Geiger came up with an ingenious device that fired alpha particles through gold foil onto a screen, where they could be detected as scintillations."

"text": "Radiation Data | Radiation Detection and Measurement download this page in PDF format Radiation Detection and Measurement1. OVERVIEW.a. Quantitative measurements of radioactive contamination in the field are difficult to accomplish properly. Particles having short ranges, such as alpha and low-energy beta radiation, are significantly and incalculably affected by minute amounts of overburden; e.g., dust or precipitation. Therefore, detection rather than measurement is a more realistic goal for alpha-beta surveys. More penetrating radiations, such as gamma and higher energy X-rays, are affected less by such overburden; however, quantification of isotopes through photon emissions requires isotopic- and geometry-specific response functions.b. Although uranium and plutonium are both alpha emitters, field survey of uranium is best accomplished by measuring beta emissions from the thorium and protactinium progeny. For plutonium, the best technique is to detect the accompanying contaminant Am-241, which emits a 60-ke V gamma ray. Knowing the original assay and the age of the weapon, the ratio of plutonium to americium may be computed accurately and the total plutonium contamination determined.c. Many of the factors that may not be controlled in a field environment may be managed in a mobile laboratory that may be brought to an accident site."

( Source: Wikimedia Commons)The Cherenkov radiation is analogous with the more well-known sonic boom effect. [ 1] If an aircraft moves slower than the sound speed in a medium, the air deflection is smooth around the wings of the aircraft. However if the motion speed exceeds the medium sound velocity, then a sudden pressure change would happen and shock waves propagate away from the aircraft in a cone at the speed of sound. [ 2]As can be observed form Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic waves, the speed of light in vacuum determined by the constants of permeability and permittivity is the well-known parameter of c (3 × 10 8 m/s). However the wave velocity in a medium can be changed from the wave velocity in free space due to the polarizability of the material both electrically and magnetically. This so called phase velocity is in fact the velocity at which the phase of photon is propagated within the medium. The ratio of the phase velocity of light in a medium to its velocity in free space is defined as the refractive index n of the material. For most of the materials this is a frequency-dependent parameter and typically a positive number greater than one."

[ 1]Scientifically discovered, objective truths are often called counterintuitive when intuition, emotions, and other cognitive processes outside of deductive rationality interpret them to be wrong. However, the subjective nature of intuition limits the objectivity of what to call counterintuitive because what is counterintuitive for one may be intuitive for another. This might occur in instances where intuition changes with knowledge. For instance, many aspects of quantum mechanics or general relativity may sound counterintuitive to a layman, while they may be intuitive to a particle physicist. Flawed intuitive understanding of a problem may lead to counterproductive behavior with undesirable outcomes. In some such cases, counterintuitive policies may then produce a more desirable outcome.

"text": "Atoms: Building Blocks of Molecules Matt Strassler [December 7, 2012; updated December 9]If molecules — the main structures that are involved in chemistry — are the words from which all of the materials around us are built, then atoms are the letters, the building blocks for molecules. Just as there are words of all lengths, a typical molecule may contain a few or a hundred or even a hundred thousand atoms. A molecule of table salt (Na Cl) contains two atoms, one of sodium (Na) and one of chlorine (Cl); a molecule of water (H 2 O) has two of hydrogen and one of oxygen; a molecule of table sugar (C 12 H 22 O 11) is made from twelve atoms of carbon, eleven of oxygen and twenty-two of hydrogen in a very particular arrangement. How do we know atoms exist? In some cases, we can “see” them, much as we can see the molecules that they can form… not with our eyes, but with more advanced “seeing” devices. One method involves a “scanning tunneling microscope”, which can show the atoms inside a crystal, or even move them around one at a time. Another method uses our ability to trap ions (atoms which are slightly altered, as explained below). Here is a photo showing evidence of three ions being trapped simultaneously. [ Light is shined onto the ions, which is then absorbed by the ions and re-emitted. The re-emitted light can be detected, allowing us to “see” where the ions are, in a way somewhat analogous to how a reflection of light off a tiny but shiny diamond allows us to find it. ]"

"text": "\"Home > Lifestyle > Food You can't go wrong with packaged puff pastry dough Sunday, September 08, 2002By Marlene Parrish Puff paste is the queen of all pastries. Without it there would be no strudels, napoleons, turnovers or lady locks. Tons of other desserts, appetizers and entrees would be compromised. This crisp, light pastry consists of hundreds of paper-thin layers of dough, prevented from sticking together by thin layers of fat -- any fat, but usually butter. While the pastry is baking, steam caught between the layers forces them apart. As the baking continues, the steam evaporates and the fat is absorbed, leaving a high, crisp, flaky pastry. Bakers will tell you that puff paste is made by a simple mechanical process of rolling, folding and turning dough. Mechanical, yes. Simple, no. If you think about making puff paste from scratch, go lie down on the couch until the notion passes."

"text": "\"Food & Drink Cooking & Recipes What is the temperature to bake puff pastry? How long I should bake that? Follow 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Baking temps of 400-degrees to 425 are best for most puff pastry dough. Cooler temps will not create enough steam in the products to leaven them well. Higher temps will set the crust too quickly. My brother, who is a pastry chef, didnt give me a time. He said until golden. So my advice would be to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesnt get too dark. If you have poor lift while baking, you either used too little or too much fat or your oven was too hot or too cold. If you have uneven lift or irregular shapes your oven has uneven heat or you didnt roll the pastry out properly."

However, Phyllo dough was not born in Greece rather in Istanbul during the Ottoman reign. The name \"\"Phyllo\"\" is Greek but the dough technique itself is Turkish. Strudel dough is thought to be a variant, although made somehwhat differently. Of all Turkey's delicious sweet confections, the most famous is baklava. This exquisite flavored pastry has been made in Anatolia for many centuries, and its ancestor is widely believed to be a dish made by the Assyrians at around 8th century B. C. They were the first people who put together a few layers of thin bread dough, with chopped nuts, dried fruit in between those layers, added some honey and baked it in their wood burning ovens. This earliest known version of baklava was baked only on special occasions. In fact, historically, baklava was considered a food for the rich until mid-19th century. Phyllo has been incorporated into American cuisine with open arms."

Try docking the pastry. Docking means to pierce lightly with a fork, or a docker (looks like a spiked paint roller), to make small holes in dough that will let steam escape during baking. This helps the dough to remain flat and even.ref: http://powerhungry.com/2009/02/puff-pastry-docking/In general, to cook food more evenly, one should cook longer at a lower temperature. The problem is that the dough on the bottom of your crust is not reaching a high enough temperature by the time the top of your crust is done cooking. Puff Pastry is notoriously finicky."

It used to be my responsibility, on a Sunday morning, to whip up a batch of custard slices for my family to enjoy after our morning church meeting. Back then, I would use cream cracker biscuits as the \"\"crust\"\" (if you can even call it that!) and make a custard with custard powder, milk and some cornflour to thicken it. But I decided to tweak the original recipe a bit (ok fine, a lot) for this batch. Instead of using cream crackers, I decided on using some ready-made puff pastry. I cut it onto rectangles, probably about 90mm by 70mm, but just because this allowed me to get 8 nice size rectangles out of the roll of pastry - the size is totally up to you."

This type of brush is used to apply glazes to breads, pastries, cookies, meats, and poultry before or after baking. Egg washes, marinades, juices from pans, and various food glazes are all applied using Basting or Pastry Brushes. The brush handles may be constructed of stainless steel, nylon or wood with varying lengths. If made of metal or nylon, it is important to make sure they will withstand high temperatures without either transferring the heat to the handle or affecting the structure of the handle. Longer handled brushes are used for grilling or in areas where the length of the handles helps to keep hands away from heat. The coarse hairs of the brush may be made of nylon, silicon or natural bristles, each having properties that affect the basting process. Nylon and silicone bristles are easy to clean and maintain, resulting in a brush that will not retain flavors. The bristles stay uniform in shape and the silicon bristles do not fall out over time. However, nylon and silicone bristles have a tendency to retain less of various sauces or marinades within the bristles as the solution is transferred to the food being prepared."

"text": "Kunafe Nabulsia ~ The Queen of Arabic Sweets March 14th, 2012If there’s one dessert that rules as the Queen of Arabic sweets, I would nominate Kunafe Nabulsia, the sticky pastry made of gooey sweet cheese sandwiched between layers of shredded kunafe pastry. This specialty from the Palestinian city of Nablus is prepared in enormous round trays, saturated with rose-scented syrup, cut into slabs and garnished with chopped pistachios. In the Middle East, people don’t typically prepare kunafe at home. Kunafe is an occasion to go out. That’s how I first got to know it—in pastry shops in Bethlehem and Jerusalem, such as Al Jaffar & Sons pastry shop in the Old City. And yet there are those who do make kunafe in their kitchen—typically Arabs in the diaspora, longing for home. So, I ate kunafe in Jerusalem, but learned to fully appreciate it in Seattle, where it’s lovingly prepared by homesick immigrants. Last year, inspired by the photo and tips in the cookbook When Suzanne Cooks by Suzanne Husseini, I attempted to make kunafe again. And so, I’ve made it many times over the past year (always a big production) for house guests and dinner parties. Kunafe offers a “wow” factor to any celebration or meal, and it never fails to impress."

A favourite in our household are puff pastry pinwheels both sweet and savoury. They can be made with a few simple ingredients or dressed up with some gourmet additions and toppings. Before we get into the toppings, here is the basic recipe for how to make pinwheels. How To Make Pinwheels Turn the oven on to preheat to 200C (390F) while assembling the pinwheels. Line a baking tray (or trays) with baking paper and set them aside. Now, get your ingredients ready – puff pastry and toppings.1. Defrost puff pastry sheets Remove as many as you think will be required from the freezer and allow to thaw for 10-15 minutes (maybe more depending on temperature). Remember, pinwheels are best eaten on the day they are prepared (but can also be eaten the next day) so don’t prepare too many.2. Add the toppings Spread the pastry sheets with the desired topping……and roll up firmly."

Although the traditional method of dabbing sticky warqa dough onto a hot pan is difficult to master, a much-easier technique of \"\"painting\"\" batter onto a pan can be used to make the pastry leaves at home. In addition to the ingredients listed below, you'll want to have the following on hand: Food processor New, clean nylon bristle paintbrush, about 3\"\" wide Smaller basting brush Medium or large non-stick skillet Pot for boiling water Large plate or tray Plastic wrap Vegetable oil, for brushing the dough Other than that, patience is all that's needed since you'll be cooking the warqa leaves one-by-one. What You'll Need1 3/4 cup/400 m L water2 tablespoons vegetable oil2 scant cups/250 g high gluten flour3 tablespoons/30 g durum flour (or fine semolina)1/2 teaspoon salt How to Make It Process the warqa ingredients together in a food processor or blender for one or two minutes, or until very smooth and silky. Pour the batter through a strainer into a bowl, cover, and leave to rest for an hour at room temperature or longer in the fridge. When you're ready to make the pastry leaves, fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and place a non-stick skillet on top of the pot of water. ( Choose a skillet and pot that will nestle as snugly as possible together. A larger non-stick skillet is best when making pastry for bastilla while you may find a smaller skillet more ideal if making warqa for briouats .) Leave the pan to heat for 10 minutes."

Surely, there is no more decadent roast in the history of the post-Roman canon. The origin of the dish is not exactly known, and there's not much primary research I can add to the wealth of theories that aren't already aptly covered by the Wikipedia article on the subject (tl;dr it might be named after the 1st Duke of Wellington, it might be a patriotic English name for a French dish, it might be named after a pair of shoes, or it may be from the land of Hobbits and Nelwyns ). But we're not after pedagogical discussions of origin or etymology. We're interested in one thing, and one thing only: Deliciousness. There's no doubt that Beef Wellington is delicious. How can it not be? The exterior is a light, crisp, buttery crust, glazed a deep, shiny golden brown, twinkling with crystals of sea salt. You slice through it to reveal layers of the finest ingredients in the Western world: slivers of prosciutto, a duxelles of wild mushrooms bound with cream, and finally foie gras, all encasing a core of medium-rare, buttery-soft beef tenderloin."

"text": "Noir Chocolate / Getty Images Puff pastry is a marvelous product that is light, buttery, flaky, and useful for making both sweet and savory dishes, from appetizers to main courses to desserts. It's also incredibly simple, made from only three ingredients: flour, butter and salt. Even so, it can rise up to eight times the thickness of the dough, with no added leavening agent whatsoever. How Puff Pastry Rises Puff pastry is made by mixing up a simple dough of flour and water, then placing a slab of butter atop it, folding the dough over the butter and rolling it flat. By repeating the rolling and folding, using one of two basic techniques, the finished dough will contain upward of 1,000 layers. When you bake it, the water in the dough and in the butter produces a burst of steam that puffs up the layers. It's the separation of these hundreds of layers that gives the pastry its light, flaky texture. Do You Need to Make Your Own Puff Pastry? Making puff pastry is simple. But before you reach for your rolling pin, remember that simple does not mean easy."

Quilting is the process of sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material, usually to create a quilt or quilted garment. Typically, quilting is done with three layers: the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material and backing material, but many different styles are adopted. The process of quilting uses a needle and thread to join two or more layers of material to make a quilt. The quilter's hand or sewing machine passes the needle and thread through all layers and then brings the needle back up. The process is repeated across the entire area where quilting is wanted. Rocking, straight or running stitches are commonly used with these stitches being purely functional or decorative."

A new report from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Harvard Law School’s Food Law and Policy Clinic says Americans are prematurely throwing out food, largely because of confusion over what expiration dates actually mean. Most consumers mistakenly believe that expiration dates on food indicate how safe the food is to consume, when these dates actually aren’t related to the risk of food poisoning or foodborne illness. Food dating emerged in the 1970s, prompted by consumer demand as Americans produced less of their own food but still demanded information about how it was made. The dates solely indicate freshness, and are used by manufacturers to convey when the product is at its peak. That means the food does not expire in the sense of becoming inedible. For un-refrigerated foods, there may be no difference in taste or quality, and expired foods won’t necessarily make people sick. But according to the new analysis, words like “use by” and “sell by” are used so inconsistently that they contribute to widespread misinterpretation — and waste — by consumers. More than 90% of Americans throw out food prematurely, and 40% of the U. S. food supply is tossed–unused–every year because of food dating. ("

"text": "\"Seminole Clothing By David M. Blackard and Patsy West For many decades, visitors to South Florida have been struck by the novel and colorful dress of the Seminole Indians. Bands of intricate designs adorn most garments. Patchwork clothing, considered by many to be the Seminole's traditional dress, is really quite modern, flowering around 1920. The Seminoles are composed of various culturally related tribes which began to migrate into North Florida sometime before 1750. These migrations were the result of the European political situation in Colonial North America. Consequently, the tribes which were to become the Seminoles had already replaced most of their native clothing for clothing they made from European trade goods, often borrowing European patterns as well. From studying early paintings made of Seminoles and from examining the few items of dress which have survived this era, we find that Seminole clothing of the early 19th century was similar to that of other Southeastern tribes. It also appears that Seminole clothing patterns from this period continued to be in vogue until the early years of this century. A Woman's Garments The woman's garment consisted of a very full, floor-length skirt, gathered at the waist with an adorned area and ruffle at knee length. Her long sleeved blouse has an attached cape, trimmed also with a ruffle, which came only to the shoulders."

"text": "What Do They Mean When They Talk About Pre-Existing Health Conditions? Gary Claxton, Karen Pollitz, and Larry Levitt Published: Oct 19, 2012Facebook Twitter Linked In Email Print One health care issue about which the presidential candidates acknowledge they have differences is how the health care system should treat people with pre-existing health conditions. People who have a health condition (such as an illness or pregnancy) or who are at higher than average risk of needing health care are referred to as having a pre-existing health condition. The insurance reform provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), when they take effect in 2014, will provide for annual and special enrollment periods when health plans must accept all applicants regardless of their health and prohibit health plans from using health when setting premiums for individuals or small employers. 1 Governor Romney has said that he would repeal the ACA and replace it with a plan that provides states with flexibility and resources to address affordability and other issues. For people with pre-existing health conditions, Governor Romney proposes requiring insurance companies to accept applicants who have maintained continuous coverage and to provide flexibility to states to help the chronically ill, including high-risk pools, reinsurance, and risk adjustment. 2Without more details about Governor Romney’s policy proposals, it is difficult to understand the practical differences for people with pre-existing health conditions between his approach and the provisions in the ACA. The issue is further complicated by the fact that the term “pre-existing health condition” is used as shorthand for several different challenges that people with health problems face when they try to get coverage, or when they try to keep or use the health insurance they already have. To provide some context for understanding potential differences between the candidates, we provide a brief description of the key barriers and problems that people with pre-existing health conditions face in the health insurance marketplace now, before the provisions in the ACA take effect. Current Issues for People with Pre-existing Health Conditions People who have a health problem or who are at higher than average risk of needing health care are referred to as having a pre-existing health condition."

Some textile artists work with patchwork, often combining it with embroidery and other forms of stitchery. When used to make a quilt, this larger patchwork or pieced design becomes the \"\"top\"\" of a three-layered quilt, the middle layer being the batting, and the bottom layer the backing. To keep the batting from shifting, a patchwork or pieced quilt is often quilted by hand or machine using a running stitch in order to outline the individual shapes that make up the pieced top, or the quilting stitches may be random or highly ordered overall patterns that contrast with the patchwork composition.

The advancement of women’s equality continues incrementally through patchwork legislation and court decisions, but women’s equality under law remains illusory because these laws can be changed or even revoked at the whim of legislators and judges.

Since then it had been a patchwork of states under Byzantine, Lombard, Norman, German, French, Spanish, and Austrian rulers. Political fragmentation brought economic and cultural fragmentation as well. Without standard gauges, railroads did not cross state boundaries, while numerous tolls and dialects also hindered trade. Italy's reunification, or Risorgimento (literally meaning resurrection), was largely the work of Camillo Cavour, prime minister of the north Italian state of Sardinia (also known as Piedmont). Although not a fiery or charismatic revolutionary leader, he was a cool and clear-headed diplomat and brilliant organizer, one of those realistic politicians who emerged from the failed revolutions of 1848. Cavour skillfully gathered popular support throughout the peninsula by exploiting Sardinia's position as one of the few native ruled states in Italy. He also saw that Sardinia must be developed internally before it could make any moves against the Austrians, who controlled most of northern Italy, and the Bourbons, who ruled the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the south. To that end he reorganized Sardinia's treasury, tax system, and bank system, and then got foreign loans, especially from Britain, in order to build railroads and industries. Careful management of these loans allowed him to turn a profit and pay off the loans, thus expanding Sardinia's credit for larger loans to further develop the economy and so on."

I am encouraged by the increasing awareness of the AIDS crisis in the African American community, well-reflected in the formation of groups like AIDS education and services for minorities, the start up of the first-ever black church HIV/AIDS Institute and now this special initiative of the Names Project and the AIDS memorial quilt. I have long felt that the making of quilts is one of the greatest American art forms, because quilts not only give comfort and warmth, but also say so much about heritage and family traditions that give meaning to our lives."

The term is used differently in different countries, and thus may or may not require the same legal qualifications as a general legal practitioner. The titles patent agent and patent lawyer are also used in some jurisdictions.

"text": "Beware Open Source Strings Attached if You Want a Patent By Gene Quinn October 12, 201043Print Article Just this week I had the opportunity to consult with a client that is in the process of creating unique software that is, at least in my opinion, patentable over the prior art. We were chatting over the telephone when he explained that the developer he hired was using certain open source code to supplement the original code being written. Not wanting to scare my client needlessly, but suspecting the worst, I asked him to send me information on what was being taken, in particular the license agreements that govern the allegedly free open source software. In life there are few certainties. Death and taxes are among them; as is the fact that if you are taking open source software for your proprietary project you are likely about to do a deal with the devil that might be extremely difficult, or even impossible, to undo. Software is unique because it can be protected by both copyrights and patents. Copyrights in software protect the unique expression in the code, while patents protect new and nonobvious functionality. So you copyright the code and you patent the function. Patents are far more valuable for that reason given that a patent would protect the implementation regardless of how the code is written or what languages are used. Thus, anything that potentially compromises patent rights should be avoided at all costs."

It's part of the way of writing a patent, most attorneys use phrases like this.

The decision to pursue patents, which kind and how much to spend is a business decision that merits consideration and planning. Although you can do it yourself you will probably regret it later. But then, you could spend $25k+ with a patent attorney and regret it, too. Patent services are like medical care. Cutting costs now can result in huge costs later.

Therefore, the following is presented as a basic explanation of the process that an attorney would go through in analyzing a product for infringement of a patent, but should not be taken as legal advice of any kind. If you are reading this because you think you might be infringing a patent (or you think someone else might be infringing your patent) we strongly urge you to contact a patent attorney (preferably one at Brown & Michaels) immediately. First Step - Look at the claims. What do they mean, as properly interpreted (\"\"construed\"\")? You will want to start by reading the claims - concentrate on the independent claims, since if you don't infringe the independent claims, you won't be infringing the dependent claims (which are narrower, by definition). The claim may not be formatted in a way which makes this analysis easy, so the first step is to pick it apart. List every element in the claims separately. Be sure you can identify each and every part and restriction which is described in the claim. The importance of this step cannot be overstated - every word counts."

Does the non-provisional have to be obtained before the provisional expires, or is there some window after the expiration where the non-provisional can still be obtained? There's conflicting forces at play here that make determining when to get the provisional difficult. On the one hand, the \"\"first to patent\"\" rule motivates one to get the provisional ASAP, but then the 12 month expiration causes hesitation due to the risk of not being ready after 12 months. Product development and market testing often take longer than 12 months, and if the idea turns out to be a bust then having spent a bunch of money on a non-provisional patent just adds to the losses.

"text": "How Much Does a Patent Cost?by Joe Runge, Esq. Scientist & Attorney How much does it cost to patent an idea? This is a critical question when you’re starting the patent application process. The cost to apply for a patent is only part of the total patent fees that inventors must consider: revising, prosecuting, issuing and maintaining a patent all add to the cost. You can do a lot to keep the cost to file a patent down and much of it you can do before you ever talk to a lawyer. You Get What You Pay For The actual cost to file a patent is a small part of the total cost of getting a patent. The fee is a few hundred dollars, half as much for small entities (like small businesses) and a quarter as much for individual inventors. When most people talk about patents they are talking about utility patents. The utility patent cost does not come from the patent office but from the cost of paying a lawyer to prepare the application. Utility patent applications typically cost thousands of dollars."

"text": "How Long Does a Patent Last? By Gene Quinn July 26, 20144Print Article Before June of 1995, the patent laws in the United States provided that the term of a utility or plant patent ended seventeen years from the date of patent grant. To comply with Article 33 of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement resulting from the Uruguay Round Agreements of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the United States was required to establish a minimum term for patent protection ending no earlier than twenty years from the date the application was filed. Thus, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act amended 35 U. S. C. § 154, and these amendments took effect on June 8, 1995. Generally speaking, utility and plant patent applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, have a term that begins on the date the patent issues and ends on the date that is twenty years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States. If the application that ultimately issues contains a specific reference to an earlier filed US or international application, the term ends twenty years from the filing date of the earliest such application. This patent term provision is referred to as the “twenty-year term. ”All utility and plant patents that were in force on June 8, 1995, or that issued on an application that was filed before June 8, 1995, have a term that is the greater of the “twenty-year term” or seventeen years from the patent grant. A patent granted on an international application filed before June 8, 1995, and which entered the national stage before, on or after June 8, 1995, will have a term that is the greater of seventeen years from the date of grant or twenty years from the international filing date or any earlier filing date relied upon for priority purposes. The twenty-year patent term is the general rule."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions: Patents Basics What is a patent? A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. In other words, a patent is an exclusive right to a product or a process that generally provides a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. To get a patent, technical information about the invention must be disclosed to the public in a patent application. The patent owner may give permission to, or license, other parties to use the invention on mutually agreed terms. The owner may also sell the right to the invention to someone else, who will then become the new owner of the patent. Once a patent expires, the protection ends, and an invention enters the public domain; that is, anyone can commercially exploit the invention without infringing the patent. What rights does a patent provide? A patent owner has the right to decide who may – or may not – use the patented invention for the period in which the invention is protected. In other words, patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported, or sold by others without the patent owner's consent."

By Gene Quinn May 30, 20152Print Article If you are going to file a patent application you must have drawings to include in the application, but patent drawings are not the only type of “drawings” that an inventor should be considering. Patent drawings are wonderful for a patent application, but they don’t always do the invention justice if you are trying to capture the attention of a prospective licensee, or if you are trying to convince a buyer to place orders or sell the invention in their store. Simply stated, patent drawings and other types of invention drawings, such as 3D renderings and photo realistic virtual prototypes serve different purposes. For example, take a look at the figure below, provided courtesy of Enhance Product Development, a product development company with a great deal of experience licensing and developing products in consumer markets. The patent illustration is on the left, and a branded, photo realistic virtual prototype is shown on the right. Which do you think would better capture the attention of a prospective licensee? Of course, the patent drawing contains reference numerals that are used by the patent attorney in the Detailed Description of the patent application, and this is a perfectly fine illustration to include in a patent application. But remember, the point of the Detailed Description is to describe what is shown in the figures (at a minimum). This is done in writing as if the reader is standing next to you as you describe what the figure shows."

Each U.

In most cases, a person who is \"\"admitted\"\" to the bar is thereby a \"\"member\"\" of the particular bar. In the canonical case, lawyers seeking admission must earn a Juris Doctor degree from a law school approved by the jurisdiction, and then pass a bar exam administered by it. Typically, there is also a character and fitness evaluation, which includes a background check. However, there are exceptions to each of these requirements. A lawyer who is admitted in one state is not automatically allowed to practice in any other.

During the prototype phase, you also need to be made aware of any potential products that could be considered too similar to your own. The bottom line: to get a patent for your project, to make money from your product, you absolutely have to be sure that it is an original prototype. Initially, you need to insure that no one else has created anything like your own. Over the last few weeks or months, during the initial creation of your invention, you have likely gone through extensive reviews to ensure that it is an original. Now, it is time to go through that process again, in the form of the prototype. Doing this will ensure that your money is well invested. For example, if you invest heavily in the design of the prototype only to find that there is a similar product on the market or in development, you could be wasting a lot of your money on this process. In order to get a good idea of what is out there that could be conflicting for your prototype, start with an Internet search. This will give you the best overall result from the beginning."

After the United States Supreme Court deadlocked on whether the first sale doctrine authorized the reselling of lawfully purchased products abroad by Costco the case returned to the Eastern District of California for further proceedings. On November 9, 2011, Costco again prevailed, again on summary judgment, but this time thanks to the copyright misuse defense. With copyright misuse being successfully used as a defense I thought it would be worthwhile to explore misuse defenses in general, which I believe are an under utilized defense and one of the places courts should be looking to stomp out the abuses that we all know are prevalent in the intellectual property litigation arena. it is worth taking a moment to revisit the basics of patent misuse. With misuse defenses historically being closely associated with Antitrust theory yesterday we published Antitrust Law Basics, promising to follow up and with discussion of patent misuse. The term “patent misuse” refers to specific types of prohibited behavior engaged in by the owner of the patent rights. Patent misuse is an affirmative defense that recognizes that it is possible for a patent owner to abuse the exclusive right enjoyed as a result of the issuance of a patent. As an affirmative defense, patent misuse cannot be used as a sword, but can only be used by an alleged infringer if and when the patent owner seeks to enforce the exclusive right of the patent in a patent infringement suit. Once a patent infringement suit is initiated, the alleged infringer, in order to successfully rely upon the patent misuse defense, must “show that the patentee has impermissibly broadened the ‘physical or temporal scope’ of the patent grant with anticompetitive effect.”"

The first thing that needs to be said is that there is no such thing as a provisional patent . Instead, what you file is called a provisional patent application. Like any other patent application, a provisional patent application is effective to stop the clock relative to so-called statutory bars and immediately upon filing a provisional patent application you can say you have a patent pending. Provisional patent applications, done properly, are a great way to take a first step toward a utility patent. Now that the United States has become a first to file country and abandoned our historic first to invent ways ( see A Brave New World — First to File Becomes Law) it is critically important to file a patent application as soon as practically possible. Filing a provisional patent application that adequately describes the invention will establish priority and satisfies the need to act swiftly under first to file rules. A well prepared provisional patent application is your best friend in a first to file world. Of course, a provisional patent application must be understood as nothing more than the first step toward receiving a patent. Ultimately you will need to file a nonprovisional patent application in order to obtain a patent in the United States."

"text": "I Received a “Cease and Desist” Letter – What Should I Do?1 Reply Receiving a “cease and desist” letter from a lawyer can be stressful and sometimes confusing, and it’s not always clear whether and how a person should respond. A “cease and desist” letter or “demand” letter is a letter, usually from an attorney, that accuses you of doing something improper or unlawful and demands that you stop (or “cease and desist”) the unlawful conduct. Such letters are often sent by someone alleging copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or patent infringement, but they can also be used in breach of contract situations, defamation claims, and many other civil causes of action. Occasionally the letter will also demand payment of some settlement amount, or it may request the production of certain documents or information. Why do lawyers send these letters? The most common reason someone sends a cease and desist letter is simple efficiency: a letter is simpler and cheaper than a lawsuit. If someone has been wronged or believes they have suffered an infringement of their intellectual property, most attorneys will advise their clients to send such a letter before taking formal legal action by filing a lawsuit. While such letters are not always successful, in the cases where they are successful, a client can save thousands of dollars in legal fees if the infringement or other offending conduct is stopped by the sending of a simple letter, as compared with the cost and complexity of filing a lawsuit. In some cases, the issue may be minor enough that the client would never think of actually filing a lawsuit, but they nonetheless are willing to try to get the problem resolved through a letter. But there are numerous other practice-specific reasons to send such a letter."

Unfortunately, while provisional applications are easier to file than regular patent applications, inventors often forget that there are requirements that must be met in order for a provisional application to be effective. The provisional patent application discussion in Bit Law is divided into the following sections: Introduction to provisional applications Requirements for provisional applications Concerns about filing provisional applications The best way to use provisional applications Patent Applications | Patent Index | Prosecution Introduction Provisional patent applications have been part of the patent process in the United States since 1995. Provisional applications are considered \"\"provisional\"\" because they are temporary. These applications are never examined by the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office, and they will never turn into actual granted patents. In order to obtain patent protection, the inventor who files a provisional application must file a regular (non-provisional) application within one year of the filing date of the provisional application. If a non-provisional patent application is not filed by then end of this year, the provisional application will simply expire. See MPEP Section 201.04If a non-provisional application is filed within that one year time period, that application can \"\"claim the benefit\"\" of the provisional application. This means that the non-provisional application will be treated as if it were filed on the filing date of the provisional application. Early filing dates may prove useful in helping to prove who was the first inventor of an invention."

By Gene Quinn February 15, 201418Print Article Unfortunately, despite what you may have heard from late night television, satellite radio commercials or snake oil salesmen, there is no effective way to protect an idea. Copyrights protect expression and patents protects inventions, and neither protect ideas. In both cases the idea is the first critical step, but without some identifiable embodiment of the idea there can be no intellectual property protection obtained and no exclusive rights will flow unto you. This does not mean that you should give up when you only have an idea, but it does mean that you will need to proceed to flesh out your idea to the point where it is concrete enough to be more than what the law would call a “mere idea.” The moral of the story is that ideas alone cannot be protected, so you need to think in terms of invention. Inventions can be patented. You just have to get from idea to invention. On your journey from idea to invention to patent and ultimately, hopefully riches, please stop thinking that you will get rich by selling your idea to industry and sit back and collect royalty checks for doing nothing.

Go to: Synopsis Portal hypertensive gastropathy and gastric antral vascular ectasia may cause gastrointestinal hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension. While the former presents exclusively in patients with portal hypertension; gastric antral vascular ectasia can also be observed in patients with other conditions. Diagnosis is established with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, although some cases may require a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The most frequent manifestation is ferropenic anemia that may become transfusion dependent. Treatment in portal hypertensive gastropathy is focused on portal pressure reducing drugs, mainly non selective beta-blockers while in gastric antral vascular ectasia it is based on endoscopic ablation. More invasive options can be utilized in case of failure of first line therapies, although this should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis."

Description Rapidly developing (acute) ascites can occur as a complication of trauma, perforated ulcer,appendicitis, or inflammation of the colon or other tube-shaped organ (diverticulitis). Thiscondition can also develop when intestinal fluids, bile, pancreatic juices, or bacteria invade or inflame the smooth, transparent membrane that lines the inside of the abdomen (peritoneum). However, ascites is more often associated with liver disease and other long-lasting (chronic)conditions. Types of ascites Cirrhosis, which is responsible for 80% of all instances of ascities in the United States, triggers a series of disease-producing changes that weaken the kidney's ability to excrete sodium in theurine. Pancreatic ascites develops when a cyst that has thick, fibrous walls (pseudocyst) bursts andpermits pancreatic juices to enter the abdominal cavity. Chylous ascites has a milky appearance caused by lymph that has leaked into the abdominalcavity. Although chylous ascites is sometimes caused by trauma, abdominal surgery,tuberculosis, or another peritoneal infection, it is usually a symptom of lymphoma or some othercancer. Cancer causes 10% of all instances of ascites in the United States."

And now that we’ve got a better understanding of those rules, let’s explore how medical practices and other providers can ensure they’re using HIPAA compliant email. After all, knowing the rules is one thing … but putting them into practice is what’s going to keep you and your healthcare organization out of trouble.5 strategies for achieving HIPAA compliant email Like so many other things with HIPAA compliance, there’s not one, singular answer that addresses the question of what constitutes HIPAA compliant email. However, the options addressed below represent a collection of first-line strategies that go a long way toward addressing HIPAA email regulations. Be the expert on the topic of HIPAA compliant email on behalf of your patients. This means making sure you have appropriate notices visible, both on-line and in the real world, warning patients about the potential security risks of transmitting protected health information (PHI) using email over the non-secure portion of the Internet. For instance, many practices include a page for submitting questions to the office via email. Consider posting a statement that warns about security prominently on that page, such as:“Please keep in mind that communications via email over the internet are not secure. Although it is unlikely, there is a possibility that information you include in an email can be intercepted and read by other parties besides the person to whom it is addressed. Please do not include personal identifying information such as your birth date, or personal medical information in any emails you send to us."

In this era of patient-centered healthcare, portals that link to electronic health record (EHR) systems provide patients with what they want-easy access to their health information and other savvy online tools. However, portals also raise record management and privacy and security questions that HIM professionals should be ready to address. Some providers may be able to activate portal functionality offered through their EHR vendor. More frequently, however, they must either build the portal in-house or engage a third-party developer to create it, says Kelly Mc Lendon, RHIA, CHPS, president of Health Information Xperts, LLC, in Titusville, FL.

"text": "\"Alcoholic Liver Disease In-Depth Report Background Cirrhosis is an irreversible result of various disorders that damage liver cells over time. Eventually, damage becomes so extensive that the normal structure of the liver is distorted and its function is impaired. Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease that is the result of damage to liver tissue with scarring of the liver (fibrosis - nodular regeneration) causing progressive decrease in liver function, excessive fluid in the abdomen (ascites), bleeding disorders (coagulopathy), increased pressure in the blood vessels (portal hypertension), and brain function disorders (hepatic encephalopathy). Excessive alcohol use is the leading cause of cirrhosis. The disease process often takes the following path: Scarring. The main damage in cirrhosis is triggered by scarring (fibrosis) that occurs from injuries due to alcohol, viruses, or other assaults. The scar tissue and other changes in liver cells gradually replace healthy liver tissue and act like small dams to alter the flow of blood and bile in and out of the liver. Altered Blood and Bile Flow. The changes in blood and bile flow have significant consequences, with both the liver and other organs responding to the altered flow: The spleen overproduces nitric oxide, a chemical that causes blood vessels in the spleen to widen (dilate). The small blood vessels and bile ducts in the liver itself, however, narrow ( constrict ). ("

There are many different ways to do this operation. One is to take a piece of the hamstring tendon from behind the knee and use it in place of the torn ligament. When arranged into three or four strips, the hamstring graft has nearly the same strength as other available grafts used to reconstruct the ACL. This guide will help you understandwhat parts of the knee are treated during surgeryhow surgeons perform the operationwhat to expect before and after the procedure Related Document: A Patient's Guide to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries Anatomy What parts of the knee are involved? Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect the ends of bones together. The ACL is located in the center of the knee joint where it runs from the backside of the femur (thighbone) to the front of the tibia (shinbone). The ACL runs through a special notch in the femur called the intercondylar notch and attaches to a special area of the tibia called the tibial spine.

The short story is: Email is NOT HIPAA Secure (at least in 99% of cases)There is a way to encrypt email sent between 2 email systems, but so far a standard and mechanism for encryption between all the vast number of email providers has not been established. I won’t go into the details of why this is the case (cost of encryption, standards for encryption, etc), but suffice it to say that almost none of the email systems send encrypted email that would satisfy the HIPAA requirements. In fact, most times when an EMR, PHR or other patient portal wants to send a secure email/message to someone they send an email which contains a link to an encrypted website that has a unique login."

"text": "As the title suggests, a patient service representative is a member of a health care team employed to help ensure the best interests of a health care provider's clients. The representative interacts with patients directly and helps them with tasks such as setting appointments and collecting insurance information. A person in this position is also relied upon by fellow staff members for tasks such as maintaining patient records and facilitating communication. Acting in this capacity requires a wide range of skills, including computer proficiency, multi-tasking, and the ability to work independently. The ultimate goal of a patient service representative is to make an individual's interaction with her health care provider as smooth and pleasurable as possible. A person working in this capacity may assist a patient with a variety of needs, such as setting appointments and checking the individual in and out during visits. She may have to deal with billing disputes from either the patient or third parties such as insurance companies, and she is likely to be the recipient of complaints that patients have about the service they receive. Ad Although some of a patient service representative's duties involve direct interaction with the public, there are other duties that are performed behind the scenes. For example, a person employed in this capacity may have to act as a liaison between different health care providers, such as a doctor and a lab technician or a surgeon and an anesthesiologist. Due to the fact that these individuals have to deal with a wide range of clients and colleagues, sharp communication skills are essential to this job."

"text": "\"APC (Ambulatory Payment Classifications) FAQFAQ 1: What are APCs? APCs or \"\"Ambulatory Payment Classifications\"\" are the government's method of paying facilities for outpatient services for the Medicare program. A part of the Federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997 required HCFA (now CMS) to create a new Medicare \"\"Outpatient Prospective Payment System\"\" (OPPS) for hospital outpatient services -analogous to the Medicare prospective payment system for hospital inpatients known as \"\"Diagnosis Related Groups\"\" or DRGs. This OPPS was implemented on August 1, 2000. APCs are an outpatient prospective payment system applicable only to hospitals, and have no impact on physician payments under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. APC payments are made only to hospitals when the Medicare outpatient is discharged from the ED or clinic or is transferred to another hospital (or other facility) which is not affiliated with the initial hospital where the patient received outpatient services. If the patient is admitted from a hospital clinic or ED, then there is no APC payment, and Medicare will pay the hospital under inpatient DRG methodology. FAQ 2: How do APCs work? Each APC is composed of services which are similar in clinical intensity, resource utilization and cost.

"text": "\"Clinic Payment Information for Medicare Patients The following information should be considered by patients covered by Medicare as primary or secondary payer. As you may already know, Medicare does not pay for every medical service on every occasion. Medicare has a set of rules to determine if certain tests, services, and procedures can be covered. These coverage rules are based on your medical condition and, sometimes, on the number of times that you have had a particular test, service, or procedure in the past. The fact that Medicare does not pay for something does not mean it is not necessary. For example, you probably know Medicare does not pay for most prescription drugs. The University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) outpatient clinics are obligated to apply the Medicare coverage rules when they bill Medicare. When making appointments or ordering tests, UCMC clinic staff will check the Medicare rules to see if the test, service, or procedure will be covered for someone with your medical condition before you are provided with the service. This will help you to plan. If, after checking the coverage rules, UCMC clinic staff believes that it is likely that Medicare will not pay for a test or procedure your doctor orders, then our staff will ask you to sign an \"\"Advance Beneficiary Notice\"\" (ABN)."

"text": "\"AOA Interprets Sections of Code of Ethics (1996 - PRESENT)Interpretation of Section 3This section notes that a physician-patient relationship must be founded on mutual trust, cooperation and respect—a patient must have complete freedom to choose his or her physician, and a physician must have complete freedom to choose patients whom he or she will serve. Section 3 does not address a patient’s discriminating against a physician based on the physician’s race, creed, color, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability; and a patient may express a desire to not be treated by a particular physician or by a physician with certain characteristics. Therefore, the AOA interprets section 3 of its code of ethics to permit but not require an osteopathic physician to treat a patient when the physician reasonably believes the patient is experiencing a life- or limb-threatening event, even though the patient may have previously expressed a desire to not be treated by a physician based on the physician’s race, creed, color, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. ( July 2014)Interpretation of Section 7This section is designed to discourage practices, which would lead to false, misleading or deceptive information being promulgated. Section 7 does not prohibit advertising, so long as advertising is designed as making proper factual information available to the public. People seeking health care are entitled to know the names of osteopathic physicians, the types of practices in which they engage, their office hours, place of their offices, and other pertinent factual information. On the other hand, the public should be protected from subjective advertising material designed to solicit patients, which is essentially misleading. Such material would include attempts to obtain patients by influence or persuasion, employing statements that are self-laudatory and deceptive; the result of which is likely to lead a patient to a misinformed choice and unjustified expectations. ( July 1985)Guide to Section 8This guide applies to AOA members' professional (as opposed to organizational) stationery, office signs, telephone directories, and to other listings referred to by the general public. ( July 2016)Part I - Indications of Specialty Practice Osteopathic physicians who are certified by the AOA or who devote themselves exclusively to a specialty may designate such specialty in one of the following ways: Practice Limited to Internal Medicine (or other practice area)Internal Medicine The listing of terms in each of the two categories is illustrative and should act as a guideline."

Under the agreement, which only pertains to Aspen Dental Management's affiliated practices in New York, the company must stop exercising any control over dental practices' clinical decision-making and will not communicate directly with practices' clinical staff concerning the provision of dental care, sales of services or products to patients or the amount of revenue generated by services or products, according to a news release from Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman. The company will not be the employer of the practices' clinical staff or place limitations on dental practice owners' practice of dentistry, according to the release. “ The dentist’s primary obligation is to put the needs of the patient first,” ADA President Maxine Feinberg said in regards to the settlement. \"\" The ADA strongly advocates for noninterference in clinical decision-making and we're pleased to see that this agreement supports this view. Decisions about dental care should be between the patient and the dentist.\"\" Aspen Dental Management Inc. is a dental service provider based in East Syracuse, New York, that provides business support and administrative services to seven independently owned dental practices that maintain 40 offices in the state. Company representatives took issue with the news release issued by the attorney general's office, stating it mischaracterized the agreement and that the company has never made clinical decisions on behalf of its dentists. The settlement requires Aspen Dental not to share in the dental practices' fees for professional services rendered; to keep the practices' finances separate from its own; and to allow the practices to have full and complete control over their revenues, profits, incomes, disbursements, bank accounts and other financial matters and decisions. Aspen Dental Management also agreed to reform its marketing practices, making clear to consumers on its website and elsewhere that Aspen Dental Management provides only administrative and business support services to dental practices that are independently owned and operated by licensed dentists, according to the AG's office."

A new option has developed to place PICC lines at the bedside. This option is to utilize an outside contractual agency that guarantees an insertion success of 90%–100% of PICC line placements at the bedside. Per diem nursing PICC teams often have insertion success rates of 50%–70% with 30%–50% of patients going to radiology for line placement. These per diem teams also have hidden costs associated with repeated re-training. Is it cost-effective to continuously retrain PICC line nurses who maintain an insertion success rate of 50%–70% or is an independent PICC contractor an economic substitute? Insertion proficiency is directly related to the concept practice makes perfect and the usage of modified seldinger technique and portable ultrasound. Can one train a per diem team to master the skill of utilizing high-tech tools in their spare time? Infusion Nurse Consultants began training per diem nursing PICC staff in 1998. Out of 100 nurses trained only 10 completed minimum Infusion Nursing Society Competency Guidelines."

What are the Department's expectations around compliance? The Department has worked collaboratively since the 2010 amendments to the HIV testing law went into effect to assist providers in complying with its terms. With the adoption of the regulations, we expect that all facilities and providers have implemented the routine offer of testing and other provisions of the law or have made their specific technical assistance needs known to the Department and are making substantial progress toward full compliance. Starting in 2015, the NYSDOH has contracted with IPRO to conduct a review of hospital policies and protocols, and patient charts related to streamlined HIV testing. The findings of this review will result in facility based technical assistance and corrective action plans as appropriate to ensure implementation of the HIV testing law standards."

"text": "Dental Insurance: How does it work and who can you trust? Many people mistakenly believe when they go to their dentist who is contracted (or in network) with an insurance company, (say Delta Dental), the dentist represents the insurance company. Not True. Your dentist receives a fee schedule, the insurance company’s fee schedule, at the time they contract. This gives the dentist a right to be advertised on the insurance company’s list of in network providers. Being “In Network” dictates the maximum fee the dentist may charge for treatment procedures allowed by the insurance company. ( For example: The regular fee for a crown is $1000 but the insurance contracted fee is $800.00 and they pay 50% of that. The dentist then cannot charge more than the contracted fee for allowed procedures. ) Your dentist has NO relationship beyond this agreement with your insurance company! And remember (technically), no dentist is obligated to determine benefit allowances, bill your insurance, or deal with the problems that may come up to collect from the insurance company…In network or not!"

Patt Internal Medicine issue the ABN when: Patt Internal Medicine believes Medicare may not pay for an item or service;Medicare usually covers the item or service; and Medicare may not consider the item or service medically reasonable and necessary for this patient in this particular instance. We only provide ABNs to beneficiaries enrolled in Original (Fee-For-Service) Medicare. ABNs allow beneficiaries to make informed decisions about whether to get services and accept financial responsibility for those services if Medicare does not pay. The ABN serves as proof the beneficiary knew prior to getting the service that Medicare might not pay. If Patt Internal Medicine does not issue a valid ABN to the beneficiary when Medicare requires it, Patt Internal Medicine cannot bill the beneficiary for the service and may be required to write off the charge if Medicare doesn’t pay. Patt Internal Medicine may also use the ABN as an optional (voluntary) notice to alert beneficiaries of their financial liability prior to providing care that Medicare never covers. ABN issuance is not required to bill a beneficiary for an item or service that is not a Medicare benefit and never covered."

"text": "Cats > Viruses Diagnosing Feline Calicivirus (FCV) with a PCR Test FCV, commonly known as feline calicivirus, is a viral disease that causes severe upper respiratory problems in cats. Since FCV is viral, cats contract the virus by coming in contact with contaminated sources. Food and water bowls serve as carriers of the virus as the infection is present in saliva, nasal and eye discharge of sick cats. Often, the disease presents itself alongside other health conditions such as feline herpes virus and chlamydiosis. Since there are different strains of calicivirus that affect pets, it’s important to obtain an accurate diagnosis to prescribe drugs that kill specific strains of infections. Symptoms of Feline Calicivirus Calicivirus generally affects the cat's oral and nasal cavity, the eyes and upper respiratory tract. The type of symptoms exhibited vary according to the severity of the strain of infection contracted. The symptoms include ocular and nasal discharge, oral lesions and gingivitis. Pets may also develop muscle pain. The symptoms of feline calicivirus also mimic various other respiratory infections."

"text": "Examples of Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing Methods1. DILUTION METHODSThe Broth dilution method involves subjecting the isolate to a series of concentrations of antimicrobial agents in a broth environment. Microdilution testing uses about 0.05 to 0.1 ml total broth volume and can be conveniently performed in a microtiter format. Macrodilution testing uses broth volumes at about 1.0 ml in standard test tubes. For both of these broth dilution methods, the lowest concentration at which the isolate is completely inhibited (as evidenced by the absence of visible bacterial growth) is recorded as the minimal inhibitory concentration or MIC. The MIC is thus the minumum concentration of the antibiotic that will inhibit this particular isolate. The test is only valid if the positive control shows growth and the negative control shows no growth. A procedure similar to broth dilution is agar dilution. Agar dilution method follows the principle of establishing the lowest concentration of the serially diluted antibiotic concentration at which bacterial growth is still inhibited. On this agar plate, a bacterial isolate is tested for resistance to each of twelve different antibiotics."

"text": "\"Feline Calicivirus Infection By Cheryl Yuill, DVM, MSc, CVHInfectious Diseases, Medications What is feline calicivirus? Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a virus that is an important cause of upper respiratory infections and oral disease in cats. This virus infects cats throughout the world, and can cause disease in both domestic and exotic species of the cat family. There are at least 40 different strains of FCV, and the virulence or severity of the disease caused by different strains may vary significantly. Although several different viruses and bacteria can cause respiratory disease in cats, calicivirus is one of the more common infectious agents isolated in cats with a respiratory infection. Information about other infectious agents that can cause an upper respiratory infection in cats can be found in separate handouts in this series of client education materials (refer to \"\"Feline Upper Respiratory Infection\"\" or specific disease handouts). What are the symptoms of a calicivirus infection? The typical symptoms of an upper respiratory infection involve the nose and throat, causing symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the membranes lining the eyelids), and discharges from the nose or eyes. The discharges may be clear or may become purulent (containing pus). \"\".... cats with a calicivirus infection often develop ulcers...\"\"In addition to these typical symptoms, cats with a calicivirus infection often develop ulcers on the tongue, hard palate, gums, lips or nose; cats with ulcers in the mouth will usually salivate or drool excessively."

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness that was recognized as a global threat in March 2003, after first appearing in Southern China in November 2002. What are the symptoms and signs of SARS? The illness usually begins with a high fever (measured temperature greater than 100.4°F [>38.0°C]). The fever is sometimes associated with chills or other symptoms, including headache, general feeling of discomfort, and body aches. Some people also experience mild respiratory symptoms at the outset. Diarrhea is seen in approximately 10 percent to 20 percent of patients. After 2 to 7 days, SARS patients may develop a dry, nonproductive cough that might be accompanied by or progress to a condition in which the oxygen levels in the blood are low (hypoxia). In 10 percent to 20 percent of cases, patients require mechanical ventilation. Most patients develop pneumonia."

Cause Symptoms and complications Tests and diagnosis Treatment Prevention Additional resources Baker Institute and canine parvovirus Cause What causes parvovirus infection? The virus that causes the disease known as “parvo”, canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV), first emerged among dogs in Europe around 1976. By 1978 the virus had spread unchecked, causing a worldwide epidemic of myocarditis and inflammation in the intestines (gastroenteritis). We now know the virus is not limited to dogs, but is capable of causing infections in wild canines such as coyotes and wolves, and other wild animals, including foxes, raccoons and skunks. CPV is closely related to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), a virus that has been know since the 1920s to infect cats and mink and other animals. CPV probably arose as the result of 2 or 3 genetic mutations in FPV that allowed it to expand its host range to infect dogs. Three decades after its first appearance, CPV strikes puppies with deadly disease much less frequently due to the development of effective vaccines in the late 1970s, but outbreaks still occur frequently, and vaccinating your dog is of the utmost importance."

It is also commonly known as cat scratch disease (CSD), or \"\"cat scratch fever. \"\" This is a zoonotic disease, meaning that it can be transmitted between animals and humans. In cats, the disease is generally transmitted through contact with flea feces. The bacterium is excreted through the flea and into its feces, which it leaves on the cat's skin. The cat, through grooming itself, ingests the bacteria, thereby becoming infected with the Bartonella strain. Humans do not acquire this infection from flea reservoirs. It is important to note that this bacterial infection can also be transmitted to humans and cats by ticks. Although cats generally do not suffer from the infection, beyond possible fever, swollen glands, and some muscle aches, cat scratch fever can be passed to a human host when the infected cat scratches or bites a human. Saliva can also be a conduit for transmission, such as when an infected cat licks a skin abrasion or open wound on a human."

Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In most instances, human infection occurs after the parasite is ingested. The majority of people infected have no symptoms, but the disease has the potential to cause serious problems in some people, especially in those who are immunocompromised and in pregnant women. If symptoms develop, they are flu -like (for example, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, malaise) and may last for a few weeks. Less frequently, severe infections can lead to eye problems, brain impairments, seizures, and rarely, death. Certain drugs, alone and in combination, can be used to treat toxoplasmosis. Many people in the U. S. and in other developed countries develop infections from eating infected meat or inadvertent ingestion of cat or kitten feces. Prevention of this disease mainly centers on avoiding human contact with undercooked, contaminated meat and contact with cat or kitten feces."

So how to ensure that the Bengal you want to buy is a real one (Pur bred)? The answer is simple, ask for registration paper (TICA - CFA) If the kitten you try to buy dont have theses papers it's a fake. The registration paper cost only 10 $ but the requirements are that all the ancestors are pure bred Bengals. If your looking for a pure bred Bengal, be careful and choose a serious registered breeder and not a fake breeder advertising on kijiji or other frauders paradise website. Why our Bengal Kittens leave at only at 12 Weeks old ? Well, most breeders agree not to let kittens go at an early age. The studies are clear: It is too stressful and even life threatening for young kittens to leave their surrounding too soon. They still need their mother while they are developing their social skills and immune system. Note that vaccines takes a certain time to take full effect, (1 week or so) during that time it is risky to remove the kittens from the mother."

In India, the peacock carries both negative and positive symbolism. According to Hindu tradition, the flesh of the peacock is considered impure (i.e. bad to eat), since during the time of creation it was the one who captured the negative energies of the universe in its body. On the other hand, the peacock is also the chosen mount of Kartikeya (also known as Skanda or Murugan), the god of war and son of the deities Shiva and Parvati. In secular terms, Indians see the peacock as a symbol of love and beauty- associations present in other cultures as well. However, the birds also posses a rather unmelodious cry, considered by some to be a herald of the rainy season/monsoon. There is even am Indian saying that accurately summarizes all of this varied symbolism: \"\"a peacock has the feathers of an angel, the voice of the devil, and the walk of a thief\"\". In the Islamic world, the peacock is strongly associated with Paradise. In his epic work The Conference of the Birds, the 12th century Persian poet Farid ud-Din Attar says the peacock was one of the creatures who originally lived in Paradise, but like Adam and Eve, was tempted into sin by the serpent and thus exiled from the Garden of Eden. Attar also says, however, that if the peacock can defeat the serpent and its temptation, Paradise will once again be open to it, adding a theme of redemption to the peacock's symbolism."

"text": "Feather Tattoos A bird's feathers represents more than just gaudy plumage. In many cultures across the globe, feathers are believed hold spiritual power, as such, they are integral parts of many tribal rituals. From as far back as the early days of mankind, humans have always valued feathers for their beauty. For many, the feathers of a particular bird are considered to be sacred gifts from the gods and they are treated with the highest degree of reverence that the members of the tribe can possibly bestow. From the thick forests of Papua New Guinea to the almost impenetrable jungles of the Amazon, there have been countless documented cases of tribal ceremonies incorporating the feathers from a particular avian as a way to pay tribute to the gods. Due to their association with the gods, feathers are often seen as symbols of status and authority. The most eye-catching plumage is normally reserved only for the tribe's most respected members in the belief that only they are worthy of making use of the heavenly gifts. The Druids were believed to wear cloaks made of feathers in order to evoke the spirits of the sky god and allowed the priests to communicate with this all-powerful being. Feathers are also symbolic of knowledge. One of the earliest writing instruments, the quill pen, was actually a bird's feather."

"text": "Symbolism At Nbc: Peacock Is In, `N` Is Out August 02, 1985 | By Tom Shales, Washington Post Writers Group. First it was ``The Big N.`` Then it was ``The Proud N.`` Now it is ``The Dead N.`` NBC`s trademark is going the way of new, improved Coke: off to the land of corporate clinkers. NBC will be phasing out the ``N`` over the coming months and introducing a symbol that combines a redesigned version of the NBC peacock with the three letters of NBC`s name. ``The Big N`` should disappear entirely by next June, when the new symbol will have completely taken over. Decisions on such weighty matters are not made capriciously. This one took years. It was always the goal of former NBC Chairman Fred Silverman to phase out ``The Big N`` and replace it with the peacock, a symbol Silverman rescued from the corporate attic (parent company RCA had used it in the `50s and `60s to push the sale of color TV sets) because he thought the peacock denoted ``pride`` in NBC`s programming. NBC executive vice president M. S. Rukeyser Jr., vacationing in the south of France, said from his expensive hotel there that Silverman ordered up something called ``The Proud N`` as a transitional symbol in the interim. ``Proud`` is a ``Big N`` with a peacock embedded in it. Rukeyser conceded that ``The Proud N`` was something of a flop."

However, aggressive does not necessarily mean that the bird is 'mean.' peacocks are very mean, they chase you around when out of a cage!!! I have to disagree with above author. Most pea fowl are easily intimidated by humans, and trie to evade people. Trying to catch an un-penned pea fowl is very challenging as they are quite quick.

I have also seen the peacock on art works in medieval paintings and manuscripts and used in decorative motifs on churches and buildings. The peacock even appears among the animals in the stable in Christ's nativity. This made me wonder what it represented to the medieval world. Certainly it signified something more than pride, as in the modern maxim, “proud as a peacock.” Peacocks on the stable rooftop in a Fra Angelico nativity scene As readers of this site undoubtedly know, for medieval man everything in nature had a significance that related to God’s purpose for the universe. So, I was not surprised to find a wide gamut of rich symbolic meanings for the peacock. Catholics adopted the symbol of the peacock to represent resurrection, renewal and immortality. This came from the ancient legend that the flesh of the peacock did not decay. Thus we find paintings and mosaics with the peacock as early as the 3rd century on the walls of the catacombs of Rome, a symbol of the exchanging of the mortal earthly body for the glorified body and eternal life of the glorified soul in Heaven."

Andrew Brookes/Corbis/Getty Images Knowing your normal peak flow rate is an important part of asthma treatment, handling an asthma attack, and part of your asthma care plan. Measuring peak flow is simple using an inexpensive device known as a peak flow meter. This portable, handheld device measures how quickly the lungs expel air during forceful exhalation after a full inhalation. This measurement, known as peak expiratory flow (PEF), can help you track your asthma symptoms. How Is Peak Flow Helpful? Peak flow measurement can help you identify signs of an impending asthma attack or worsening of asthma symptoms. These are caused by tightening of the airway muscles, which cause the airways to narrow. Peak flow measurement can detect these changes before you notice any symptoms—often hours or sometimes days before."

"text": "Engine / Fuel System Nov 13, 2008 12:00 am Tech Tip: Diagnosing Fuel Pumps and Injectors Share Tweet Print Email Underhood Service Staff Writers,View bio By Larry Carley Technical Editor One of the first questions that should always be answered when diagnosing a fuel-related complaint on a fuel-injected engine is, “What is the fuel pressure?”All too often, technicians assume fuel pressure is “good” without actually measuring it with a gauge. If the engine runs, they assume the injectors are getting adequate fuel pressure. If the engine cranks but won’t start, and they depress the service valve on the fuel rail and some fuel squirts out, they assume the injectors have pressure. They do, but the question remains, “How much pressure?”For the engine to start and run smoothly with no stalling, hesitation or misfiring, the injectors have to deliver the proper amount of fuel with every squirt. This is especially important on late-model engines with sequential fuel injection. One bad injector will cause a noticeable misfire and usually set a P030X misfire code (where X represents the cylinder that is misfiring). On older engines where the injectors are all fired simultaneously, the good injectors can often compensate for one or two bad injectors. Even so, for the engine to run right, fuel pressure to the injectors is critical as is the volume of fuel delivered by each injector when it fires. The fuel calibration curves in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) are based on OEM dyno testing using a new engine. Fuel pressure is within a specified range for that engine, and the injectors are all clean and new."

These rocky landforms, which tower over all others on Earth, are places of extreme temperatures and winds. Reaching high into the atmosphere, mountains form a barrier against moving air, robbing it of any precipitation. The tops of many mountains are laden with glossy caps of snow and ice. The summits of the highest mountains are often shrouded in mists and clouds. Mountains also loom large in people's imaginations. Throughout human history, many people have regarded these mysterious places as the domain or home of supernatural beings or gods. Others have seen them as the ultimate in human adventure. Mountain climbing is viewed as an extreme test of human endurance and desire. Many climbers have succeeded in scaling the summits of the world's highest mountains; others have died trying."

Support for commercial solar electric power comes in many forms today. State rebates and state tax incentives, Federal Tax Credits, Business Development Grant Programs and Accelerated Depreciation scheme combine to provide immediate positive cash flow for most commercial solar power installations in the very first year. Check out your local, state, and federal incentives for commercial and renewable energy applications. Are large commercial solar systems the same as residential solar electric systems, only larger? The same principals apply, although with few exceptions, commercial applications are grid-intertied, whereas many residential solar electric systems are off-grid, or totally independent of utility-generated electric power. Commercial solar gridtie inverters matched with arrays of larger wattage solar panels (the same ones that work for residential solar power systems) provide power for all sorts of commercial applications, from remote traffic controls and telecommunications, to oil and gas industry applications, to solar electric systems for large municipal, school and government facilities. How does commercial solar work? Solar panels are mounted on a roof structure or on the grounds of the commercial facility, or are used as the roof structure over a parking lot."

"text": "\"Page contents Why peak flow is measured How to measure your peak flow Your peak flow score What to do if your peak flow is low Peak flow is a simple measurement of how quickly you can blow air out of your lungs. It's often used to help diagnose and monitor asthma. A peak flow test involves blowing as hard as you can into a small handheld device called a peak flow meter. These are available on prescription or can be bought from most pharmacies. Why peak flow is measured By measuring how fast you're able to breathe out, your peak flow score can indicate whether your airways are narrowed. This could be a sign that you have asthma, although other tests such as spirometry will often be needed to confirm the diagnosis. If you've already been diagnosed with asthma, measuring your peak flow regularly can be a useful way of monitoring your condition. Your score can show whether or not your condition is getting worse. It can also check if your medication is working, and indicate whether you're having an asthma attack. Measuring your peak flow before and after exposure to a possible asthma trigger, such as something you're allergic to or a substance you're exposed to at work, may also show if anything in particular causes your symptoms."

Unfortunately, modern medicine has not yet found a cure - but we have found good ways to keep asthma under control. It's not something you can control on your own. Asthmatics need medications to open up their airways so they can breathe, and all asthmatics need to be under a doctor's care so the medications can be carefully managed. It's seldom fatal. Asthma can sometimes limit the kind of physical activities that can be done, and it can make life difficult at times, but it is seldom fatal. Now, let's look at some facts about asthma: An estimated 15 million people in the US suffer from asthma, including 4 million children under the age of 18."

At the ’99 Dream Demo (a collective test of new models done by Watercraft World Magazine) the \"\"pre-production\"\" 150 consistently ran 67-68 mph on glass water. However the true production 150s seem to be running 65-66 mph. These speeds still qualify the 150 as the fastest production pwc.

"text": "\"Asthma Diagnosis Print Diagnosing Asthma A diagnosis of asthma usually is based on the patient's symptoms, medical history, a physical examination, and laboratory tests that measure pulmonary (lung) function. Doctors typically look for signs that the patient's airflow is obstructed and that the obstruction is at least partially reversible. Factors that trigger symptoms may be evident, such as exercise, cold air, and exposure to an allergen; however, the precipitating factors may not be clearly identified. Evidence of reversible airway obstruction is often detected in the physical examination or by physiologic testing. Physiologic testing generally is recommended to confirm the diagnosis. During an asthma attack, wheezing can be heard by listening to the chest with a stethoscope. The airway obstruction is considered reversible if the wheezing disappears in response to treatment, or when the suspected triggering factor is removed or resolved. Diagnostic tests for asthma include Spirometry Peak Flow Meter Bronchial Provocation Other tests Spirometry The most reliable way to determine reversible airway obstruction is with spirometry, a test that measures the amount of air entering and leaving the lungs. This simple test can be performed in the physician's office. Spirometry uses a measuring device called a spirometer that is connected by a flexible tube to a disposable cardboard mouthpiece."

For example, a dietitian or nutritionist might teach a client with diabetes how to plan meals to balance the client's blood sugar. Others work with groups of people who have similar needs. For example, a dietitian or nutritionist might plan a diet with healthy fat and limited sugar to help clients who are at risk for heart disease. They may work with other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient care."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about a dietary therapy for epilepsy. For information on ketogenic diets as a lifestyle choice or for weight loss, see Low-carbohydrate diet and No-carbohydrate diet. Testing for ketone bodies in urine The ketogenic diet is a high- fat, adequate- protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. [ 1] Almost half of children, and young people, with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinuing the diet. [ 2] There is some evidence that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regimen, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective. ["

"text": "\"Alert coders about new guidance for coding body mass index and pressure ulcers APRIL 22, 2009 — Alert coders about new guidance for coding body mass index and pressure ulcers Hospitals around the country face a new challenge: teaching coders that they can, in certain circumstances, use documentation from nonphysician providers to code pressure ulcer stage and body mass index (BMI). New guidance, which appears in the updated ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting and Coding Clinic, fourth quarter 2008, took effect October 1, 2008. It gives coders the ability to code the stage, not the site, of a pressure ulcer based on documentation from a nurse or other clinician. The same Coding Clinic reminds coders that they can code a patient’s BMI using documentation from a dietitian when the BMI has clinical significance to the patient encounter. ( Guidance on this topic first appeared in Coding Clinic in 2005.) In both cases, the patient’s physician—and not a nonphysician provider—must still document an associated diagnosis, such as pressure ulcer site or obesity. “These are basically like add-on codes,” says De Anne W. Bloomquist, RHIT, CCS, president and chief consultant at Mid-Continent Coding, Inc., in Overland Park, KS. “ You still have to get a diagnosis from a doctor. ”BMI Although this BMI guidance is new to the official coding guidelines, it is not the first directive issued on the topic. Coding Clinic, fourth quarter 2005, stated that coders could code BMI based on notes from dietitians."

"text": "\"The Scoop on Food Home Food & Recipes The Scoop on Food Is Your Child Eating Too Much Protein? By Jenna Helwig Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email In my years as a pediatric dietitian, I have seen many concerned parents who were worried that their babies and picky toddlers weren't getting enough protein. In the past few months, however, I started receiving more questions about the long term consequences of too much protein in the diets of healthy babies and toddlers. While we still don't have lots of good research regarding the excess protein issue, a few studies came to a similar conclusion: There seems to be a link between high dietary protein in the first 24 months of life and a higher risk of being overweight or obese later in life. The studies highlight one crucial detail: The only type of protein associated with faster growth and risk for excess weight was dairy protein, found in milk, cheese, and yogurt. This seems to mean that excess protein from meat or vegetables is off the hook. Why dairy? Some experts think that something in dairy affects hormonal secretion, in particular IGF-1 (insulin-like growth hormone) and insulin. But this idea is called an \"\"early protein hypothesis\"\" for a good reason, in that we still don't have enough evidence to pinpoint exactly how or why dairy produces this effect. So how much protein should your baby or toddler eat?"

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of the fastest growing fields in healthcare is nutrition. In fact, with obesity on the rise and more people concerned with the links between diet and overall quality of life, the demand for nutritionists and dietitians is expected to grow at an impressive rate of 21 percent through 2022, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics analyses. As policies aimed at decreasing healthcare costs nationally gain ground, and new research confirming the benefits of eating well is published, that promising trend should continue, opening new avenues for careers in nutrition and for those looking to enjoy the benefits of becoming a nutritionist. The Role of the Nutritionist/Dietitian Over a century ago, the famed inventor and groundbreaking entrepreneur Thomas Edison made a bold, and in many ways prescient prediction about healthcare: “The doctor of the future,” he surmised in 1903, “will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease. ”Sponsored Listing Master of Science in Nutrition Education Online - American University American University's online Master of Science in Nutrition Education will prepare you to become an influential leader in nutrition education and advocacy.

Murray, MD, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, 200 1st Street SW, Rochester, Minnesota 55905, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This guideline presents recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune-based reaction to dietary gluten (storage protein for wheat, barley, and rye) that primarily affects the small intestine in those with a genetic predisposition and resolves with exclusion of gluten from the diet. There has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of celiac disease over the last 50 years and an increase in the rate of diagnosis in the last 10 years. Celiac disease can present with many symptoms, including typical gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain) and also non-gastrointestinal abnormalities (e.g., abnormal liver function tests, iron deficiency anemia, bone disease, skin disorders, and many other protean manifestations). Indeed, many individuals with celiac disease may have no symptoms at all. Celiac disease is usually detected by serologic testing of celiac-specific antibodies. The diagnosis is confirmed by duodenal mucosal biopsies. Both serology and biopsy should be performed on a gluten-containing diet. The treatment for celiac disease is primarily a gluten-free diet (GFD), which requires significant patient education, motivation, and follow-up."

Nephrologists treat patients with kidney disorders and manage transplant protocols in hospitals and for transplant networks. They also manage dialysis centers and programs. Like other specialists, these doctors serve an additional residency in their field, beyond the standard training for a general practitioner. Because kidney disease affects the entire body, a nephrologist must also have a good grasp on other aspects of internal medicine, and how renal failure can cause other body systems to fail. Kidney disorders may be caused by congenital defects, by disease or by lifestyle. Nephrology deals with all these disorders, regardless of their origin. The field even specializes into pediatric nephrology, which deals exclusively with kidney disease or disorders in children. Doctors have attempted to treat kidney diseases for centuries, but like many other medical conditions, it has only been in the past 75-100 years that any real headway has been made in treating these diseases."

That right there should tell us something (for starters, not to trust the product manufacturer...which by the way is Coca-Cola teamed up with a company called Cargill…)Let’s take a look at those three ingredients that make up Truvia:1.

"text": "A pediatric urologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating reproductive and urinary tract disorders in patients under the age of 18. A professional receives extensive training to learn about the unique health problems faced by children whose organs and bodily systems are still in developmental stages. Most pediatric urologists work in joint or private practices, though some doctors are employed by general hospitals and children's clinics. Pediatric urologists work with young people who are referred to them by primary care pediatricians. When evaluating a new patient, the urologist asks about symptoms and performs a physical examination. A doctor may decide to take blood or urine samples or conduct imaging tests to confirm a diagnosis. Once the problem has been identified, the urologist might administer medications directly, prescribe antibiotics, or recommend corrective surgery. Most pediatric urologists are trained to provide relatively simple surgeries in their own offices, eliminating the hassle of referring patients to other hospitals or surgical centers. Among other procedures, urologists can correct undescended testicle problems, congenital urinary tract deformities, and kidney or urethra blockages. When a child appears to have a more complicated condition, such as a cancerous tumor or a major structural problem, the pediatric urologist generally consults with a specialist before operating to ensure quality treatment."

Risks can include pain, bleeding, infection, damage to the urethra, scarring, and, rarely, accidental partial amputation. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs for circumcision typically would consist of a copay ranging from nothing to $50, depending on the plan, or coinsurance of 10%-50%. Routine circumcision for infants often is covered by insurance companies, though some consider it cosmetic. For example, Kaiser Permanente [ 1] covers routine circumcision for newborns, but covers the procedure only when medically necessary -- such as for recurring infections or cancer -- for older children and adults. On a forum at Baby Center.com [ 2] , members discuss their experiences with insurance coverage of circumcision. For patients not covered by health insurance, circumcision for a newborn infant typically costs $150-$400 for the doctor fee, and possibly an additional facility fee, which can increase the total to $800 or more. For example, Gentle Circumcision [ 3] in California charges $150 to circumcise babies up to seven weeks old. Pediatrics Northwest [ 4] , in Washington state, charges $170.

The information that follows presents information on the various surgical specialties. The material was adapted from definitions put forth by the nationally recognized authority on the topic, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and its approved surgical specialty boards. General Surgery A general surgeon is a specialist who is trained to manage a broad spectrum of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body. The surgeon establishes the diagnosis and provides the preoperative, operative, and post-operative care to patients and is often responsible for the comprehensive management of the trauma victim and the critically ill patient. During at least a five-year educational period after obtaining a medical degree, the surgeon acquires knowledge and technical skills in managing medical conditions that relate to the head and neck, breast, skin, and soft tissues, abdominal wall, extremities, and the gastrointestinal, vascular, and endocrine systems. American Board of Surgery Thoracic Surgery Thoracic surgery involves the operative management, perioperative care, and critical care of patients with pathological conditions within the chest. Specifically, it includes surgical care for coronary artery disease; cancers of the lung, esophagus, and chest wall; abnormalities of the great vessels and heart valves; congenital anomalies; tumors of the mediastinum; and diseases of the diaphragm. The management of the airway and injuries to the chest are also areas of surgical practice for the thoracic surgeon."

"text": "Ureteroceles Contact Information Learn more What is a ureterocele? A ureterocele is a dilation of the area where the ureter inserts into the bladder. Ureteroceles are a congenital abnormality which means they are present at birth. It is unknown exactly why ureteroceles form, but it is thought to be due to an abnormality of the formation of the ureter tube as it inserts into the bladder. Ureteroceles occur in about one of every 1000 births and are more common in a duplex kidney, which is a kidney with two ureters that drain into the bladder. If the ureterocele is associated with a duplex kidney, it is the ureter that drains the upper part of the kidney that has the ureterocele. Kidneys that have a ureterocele often are dilated and can have obstruction to urine flow. What are the symptoms of a ureterocele? Ureteroceles are often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound where a dilated ureter and kidney (or upper part of a kidney) and a cystic structure (the ureterocele) in the bladder is seen. Ureteroceles can also be found by ultrasound after a child has a urinary tract infection or other reason to obtain a renal ultrasound."

"text": "Reconstructive Urology > Hypospadias What is Hypospadias? Hypospadias is a birth defect of the male urethra. The opening of the urethra appears along the undersurface of the penis instead of the tip of the head of the penis. Boys with hypospadias may also have a downward curvature of the penis with erections (a condition called chordee) and a “hooded” foreskin, where the foreskin is present along the top of the penis but not along the bottom. Boys born with hypospadias are generally diagnosed with the condition at the time of birth. In general, circumcision is not performed as it is possible that the skin will be needed for use in reconstructing the urethra. Corrective surgery is often performed during the first year of life. However, some boys born with hypospadias, especially those born outside of the United States, are managed without surgical correction, and decide to have corrective surgery in adulthood. The objective of the hypospadias repair is to correct any downward curvature, reconstruct the urethra so that the urethra is of adequate size with the opening at the tip of the penis, and to provide a nice cosmetic appearance. The choice of surgical technique is made on a case-by-case basis."

A pediatrician is medical doctor who manages the physical, behavioral, and mental care for children from birth until age 18. A pediatrician is trained to diagnose and treat a broad range of childhood illnesses, from minor health problems to serious diseases. Pediatricians have graduated from medical school and completed a three-year residency program in pediatrics. A board-certified pediatrician has passed rigorous exams given by the American Board of Pediatrics. To remain certified, pediatricians have to meet regular continuing education requirements."

Pediatricians are medical doctors or osteopathic doctors who specialize in treating children. They perform many of the same duties as a physician, including reviewing medical histories, ordering diagnostic tests if needed and recommending treatment plans. However, they are specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions that are common or unique to infants, children and teens. They also administer vaccinations, treat minor injuries and advise parents on proper health care for their child's age.

This spring I started investigating whether she might have SPD. We got a private evaluation, and the evaluator recommended OT. To make a long story short, in digging around to figure out my daughter, we're discovering that my husband probably has ADHD and that my daughter's probably headed in that direction. Here's the catch -- my daughter has never shown any developmental delays as a result of her SPD issues, but she is a self-regulatory mess. My current pediatrician is a fine medical doctor but has never been very strong on the self-regulatory issues. She looks askance at all this SPD stuff and basically has been unwilling to engage on the issue. I'd like to switch pediatricians. Do I need a developmental pediatrician?"

I have just reached my 4th year in high school and i'm still pondering on which career to take, I would just like some advice in this field. Thank You.5 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: To become a pediatrician, you'll need four years of medical school and at least three years of residency (on-the-job training) in addition to a bachelor's degree. Pediatricians specialize in areas such as the heart problems of children so you might be in school longer . You can major in anything from Biochemistry, Biology, nutrition Sciences, to Premedicine during high school: Take plenty of challenging math and science courses all through high school, including AP courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus. Build communication skills in taking English composition, speech, Psychology, and drama classes. Volunteer at a health clinic, hospital, women’s clinic, or elder care facility. Students in college often choose majors in chemistry or biology because they must take several classes in these fields. However, medical schools are also impressed by students with diverse interests. For example, if you have a passion for music, you may want to indulge it before concentrating on your medical studies."

And does reading that pile of parenting and child development books on your bedroom nightstand add to your feeling of confusion—especially when the information is conflicting? You are not alone. Most people, whether they are first-timers or old hands at parenting, have some concerns or fears that they’re not doing the best for their children. As a result of these worries, many parents consider their pediatrician the ultimate authority. But overcrowded pediatric offices and shortened office visit times can prevent parents — who sometimes feel rushed, forget their questions, or are just too embarrassed to ask — from getting the answers they need. ( The National Center for Health Statistics stated the average office visit in 1998 as only 18.3 minutes.) But, now’s your chance to get all the baby facts and answers to your top ten common questions. How should I care for my newborn’s umbilical cord? How should I clean it?"

Answer by Shtarra Confidence votes 30A pediatrician commonly starts his/her day in the Newborn Nursery at the local hospital, examining newborns within 24 hours of birth. Here the pediatrician will begin to form what will hopefully become a long-term relationship with the baby's family, dispensing information, advice and reassurance about caring for their baby to the new parents. Once arriving in the office around 9 AM, the pediatrician will divide his/her time between doing well-baby and well-child exams and seeing children with specific complaints. Usually the mornings are booked with regularly scheduled health maintenance exams of children younger than school age and the late afternoon hours are filled with visits of school-aged children. Large group practices are now staffing their offices during evening and weekend hours as well.34 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

With 1 in every 58 boys now being diagnosed with autism, almost everyone knows someone with a child with autism. The only good news about this is that when a parent sees their child doing something that isn’t in the baby book schedule, they may not wait 2 years before someone tells them that something may be wrong and the parent can go and check it out since they know the “autism” name. When Something Isn’t Right As a parent, especially a new parent, you probably don’t know every detail of development, which is why there are developmental specialists. We hear most parents of children with autism tell us that their regular pediatrician shrugged off their concerns as “boys are just slower than girls”, or “let’s just wait a year and see if he comes around”. Do not accept these comments as answers to your concerns, because if there is something wrong, the time you lose you can never get back and early intervention is essential. What is What? How do you know if your child’s development is really delayed or if their development is typical? Start by putting it in writing: To help you assess your child’s development, print out the Developmental Milestones appropriate for your child’s age range."

By Melinda Wenner Moyer In a waiting room, your child might just be waiting to get even sicker. Photo by Comstock/Thinkstock A few weeks ago, I took my 3-month-old to the pediatrician because she wasn’t eating. When I walked in, the receptionist warned me: “Oh, we’ve got a ton of sick kids in here right now.” Awesome, I thought. Commence obsessive hand sanitizing. But of course, we were in a doctor’s office in the middle of October—what did I expect? Ninety minutes later, the pediatrician on duty sent us to the emergency room at a nearby children’s hospital so my daughter could get intravenous fluids."

By Mary Ann Lo Frumento, MD from American Baby Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Angela Waye/shutterstock.com A Whole New World One of the many joys of being a pediatrician is smiling into a baby's eyes, making \"\"baby talk,\"\" and watching his face light up as he smiles back and squeals with delight. We're getting to know one another, and this helps me gain some important information about the baby's vision and hearing. Normal vision and hearing are essential for a baby's development. He needs to see well to explore new objects or take those first baby steps. And for normal speech to develop, he must first hear the sounds and words we use to communicate. Indeed, there is strong evidence that early intervention for babies with hearing or vision problems can make all the difference in their development. But identifying problems often requires acute observation from both doctors and parents. And understanding how babies see and hear will help you know when something \"\"just isn't right. \"\" What Can My Newborn See?"

"text": "\"With Insurance: Copays typically $10-$30 per visit Without Insurance: Averages $668 the First Year E-mail Post Tweet Comments (10)Well baby doctor visits are regular exams during the first years of life, in which a pediatrician checks a baby for proper development and addresses the new parents' questions and concerns. During the first year, six visits are recommended: first at two to four days, then at one, two, four, six, nine and twelve months of age. The National Institutes of Health [ 1] offers an overview of well baby doctor visits. Typical costs: Without health insurance, a full year of the recommended seven well baby visits costs an average of $668 total -- or just over $95 per visit -- according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Immunizations for the first year cost at least $620 extra and usually are covered by health insurance. Well baby visits are almost always covered by group health insurance -- in 97 percent of cases with PPOs and 99 percent of cases with HMOs -- according to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation [ 2] . However, some insurance policies require that the baby be added to the insurance plan within a certain time frame -- usually by one month after birth, so check with your provider. For patients covered by insurance, out-of-pocket costs, usually copays, typically range from $10 to $30 per visit, depending on the plan. Related articles: Baby Immunizations, Postpartum Maternity Checkup, Prenatal Care, Ultrasound, Baby Delivery What should be included: During the first well baby visit, the doctor will weigh and measure the baby to check growth; check eyesight and hearing; check for common problems such as diaper rash or the flaky scalp known as \"\"cradle cap\"\"; and look at umbilical cord stump or wound and, if necessary, administer a hepatitis shot. Subsequent visits will include immunizations, measurement of the head to check brain growth, addressing concerns about child safety and common health issues such as colds, croup, ear infections and diarrhea."

"text": "\"Answer by Jewel Moses Confidence votes 122Becoming a Pediatrician: Pediatricians are physicians who have specialized in pediatric medicine. The first step is to become a physician. This involves graduating from college and going to medical school. Medical school is typically a four year program, although there are some schools that offer a combined BS/MD or BS/DO degree in six years. That is, a sort of combined college/medical school curriculum that takes six years vs. the traditional eight years (four years of college plus four years of medical school). To become a pediatrician, one does a residency in pediatric medicine after graduating from medical school. Pediatrics residencies are three years long. Some pediatricians will choose to sub-specialize in a more specific area, for example pediatric cardiology or pediatric emergency medicine. This requires post-residency training, called a fellowship, that takes from one to three years, depending on the particular subspecialty. Here is more advice: I am not a doctor, but am married to one."

Most parents schedule this visit with a pediatrician either while in the hospital postdelivery or shortly after coming home. When scheduling, ask for an appointment during the least busy part of the office day or if the doctor has a certain part of the day or week dedicated to seeing newborns. Expect the visit to take about 25 minutes, but this can vary. Prepare for the possibility of a wait or setback and be sure to plan time to fill out paperwork.2of 16Stock Byte/ Veer Who to Bring At Baby's first doctor appointment, it's helpful to bring yourself, your baby, and another primary caregiver, such as Dad.

Manicure entails filing and shaping of the nails and massage of the hands. But there are various spa treatments you can choose from for a good manicure. Benefits of manicure: The massaging of the hands helps improve blood circulation. A manicure with lotions promotes nail growth, flexibility and retains moisture in the nail. So, it is important to get a good manicure and make sure that it is protected from harsh chemicals, which can make the nail brittle. Manicure treatment: It is important to opt for a clean and hygienic spa to prevent the spread of infection through the tools and supplies use for a manicure. This treatment uses oil, paraffin wax and lotions to clear your skin from dry cells, clean the cuticles, and soften the fingernail.

And, could it be that artifacts show that we're doing the same things to feet today? At least four clues have survived from ancient times to provide some answers to such questions. Three bas-relief carvings and a report from an ancient historian provide illustrations of Egyptian footwork: A carving in the Tomb of the Physicians is disputed as representing therapy, a foot operation or a pedicure. A carving in the tomb of a pharaoh's official is noted as representing pedicure and manicure. A carving of \"\"tending to feet\"\" is included with others representing victory at the battle of Kadesh on one of the temples built by Ramesses II.

"text": "Spring has finally sprung, which means one thing: Pedicure season is upon us. But all of that foot-centric primping and preening can quickly turn hazardous for your health. Before booking our first pedicures of the season, we talked to Dr. Jackie Sutera, a New York-based podiatrist, Dr. Ella Toombs, a dermatologist in Washington, DC, and Crystal Clements, the manager at Eve Salon in New York City. Here’s what you need to know: Never let them turn on the bubbles while you soak your feet. Whatever you do at a pedicure salon, do not let the pedicurist turn on the bubbles in the foot baths. “ The jets in the whirlpool bath can harbor bacteria and fungus,” says Dr. Sutera. Sutera estimates that she sees about 10 to 12 patients a week that come in with fungal or viral infections, like warts and athlete’s foot, caused by build up in whirlpool foot baths. If the skin is cut by accident during a pedicure, you can also get bacterial infections by coming into contact with bacteria from previous customers at your station. She recommends finding a salon that uses pipeless foot baths or individual bath liners to further avoid cross-contamination with previous clients. Plus, make sure that your salon runs a sanitization cycle for the required minimum of 10 minutes between each client."

"text": "Home / Health / How to Get Rid of Toenail Fungus – Best Home Remedies How to Get Rid of Toenail Fungus – Best Home Remedies Toenail fungus affects up to 8% of adults. The initial symptoms include yellowing and thickening of the nail. When the condition develops to inflammation, it causes swelling of the toe and nail crumbling. Toenail fungus thrives in a humid and dark environment, therefore, people who constantly wear socks and closed shoes are more prone to this problem. This condition is perfectly curable. However, the treatment takes a long time. In order to effectively get rid of nail fungus, you need to continue the treatment throughout the whole nail regrowth cycle, which usually takes from 6 to 12 months. It is vital that you do not stop the treatment even after the symptoms have decreased or disappeared. Leaving the smallest part of the toenail infected with the fungus will put the whole treatment in jeopardy. How to avoid toenail fungus Fungus thrives in a humid and warm environment."

Pedicure is derived from Latin words. Pedi is “pedis\"\" in Latin words meaning feet and cure is “cura\"\" meaning care. Thus pedicure means care for feet. A pedicure can also be understood as a feet treatment with particular steps. First, your feet are soaked in a bubbling and vibrating tub of warm water. This step is done in about 5 minutes. Slough is the next step which remove dead skin. It needs to be rubbed until it flakes off. The dead skin continues to flake off in the scrubbing step."

"text": "Getting a manicure or pedicure? The differences between Shellac and gel nail polishes Sponsored content Jul 01, 2014 Waterloo Region Record If you’ve wondered what the differences are between a gel manicure and a Shellac manicure, they are basically the same thing – lasting nail polishes that are cured using UV lamps. The principal difference is that Shellac is the brand name for gel nails by a company called Creative Nail Design (CND). There are different brands of gel polishes and Shellac happens to be one brand. Since Shellac is so well-known, customers tend to ask for Shellac whenever they want a gel polish. Each different brand of gel polish can vary from another. FX Beauty Bank – an exclusive nail salon in Cambridge, Ontario – carries no less than four different brands of gel polishes. These include Entity Color Couture, O. P. I. Gel Color, Essie Gel, and Shellac. All brand name gel polishes are generally safe to use in the hands of qualified nail technicians. However, the quality of different brands of gel polish can vary."

While each place will certainly be a little different in one way or another, I’ve been to enough nail salons and day spas to say that this is the basic procedure you go through when getting a pedicure — no matter where you go. Here’s what you need to know.5 Special Things Just For YOUFirst things first…It’s all about you when you go in for a pedicure:1. Walk-in’s welcome. Usually this is the case. Some of the nicer full-time spas like to require reservations, but even they will generally accomodate a walk-in visitor — if there’s someone available at that time to do your pedicure.2. A big fat smile. At every single facility I’ve ever been to for a pedicure, I’ve always been greeted by a warm welcome and a cheery smile the moment I walked in the door. It’s quite nice. At this time, they invite you to pick a nail color of your choosing from the “wall of nail polishes”."

"text": "A pedicure can be a luxurious, relaxing experience. Soaking your feet in warm water, enjoying a foot massage or a sugar scrub, walking away with a stylish color or a clear gloss can be delightful. To make your pedicure experience go as smoothly as possible for you and your nail technician, follow a few simple rules of etiquette. It's good to know proper etiquette before getting a pedicure. Making, Canceling and Rescheduling Appointments Nail salons can be very busy, especially during Summer when a pedicure is a must, so it's best to make an appointment anywhere from 24 hours to a week in advance to avoid a long wait. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, call the salon at least 24 hours in advance so that they can give your spot to someone else. Pedicure chairs in nail salons are limited, so chances are someone will be waiting for your spot. Arrive on time for your appointment. If you're planning to select polish at the salon, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so your polish selection doesn't cut into your appointment time. Preparing for Your Pedicure As a matter of consideration for your nail technician, make sure your feet are clean before arriving at the salon."

"text": "How Long Does It Take to Dry Your Toenails After a Pedicure?by PAMELA SIMMONS July 18, 2017There's nothing like a fresh pedicure, but waiting for it to dry can be a pain. You have to be careful not to bump your toes into anything lest you destroy your meticulously-painted nails. You also have to have the patience to wait for your nails to dry. Instead of guessing, learn how long you'll be playing the waiting game. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes How Long The amount of time it takes your pedicure to dry depends in part on the type of polish you use and how much of it you apply. In general, it takes up to 2 hours for your polish to completely dry. Formaldehyde-free polishes dry a bit quicker than other types. Also remember the more coats you apply, the longer it takes, so if you've just applied one coat of clear polish your dry time will be much shorter than if you've applied a base coat, two color coats and a top coat. DIY Pedicure Wait Times It's generally advised to apply a base coat, two coats of polish and a top coat to keep your pedicure lasting the longest. When applying each coat of polish, wait at least 2 minutes between coats."

( April 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A digital Omron HJ-112 pedometer Mechanical pedometer A pedometer is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person's hands or hips. Because the distance of each person's step varies, an informal calibration, performed by the user, is required if presentation of the distance covered in a unit of length (such as in kilometers or miles) is desired, though there are now pedometers that use electronics and software to automatically determine how a person's step varies. Distance traveled (by walking or any other means) can be measured directly by a GPS receiver. Used originally by sports and physical fitness enthusiasts, pedometers are now becoming popular as an everyday exercise counter and motivator. Often worn on the belt and kept on all day, it can record how many steps the wearer has walked that day, and thus the kilometers or miles (distance = number of steps × step length). Some pedometers will also erroneously record movements other than walking, such as bending to tie one's shoes, or road bumps incurred while riding a vehicle, though the most advanced devices record fewer of these 'false steps'. Step counters can give encouragement to compete with oneself in getting fit and losing weight."

Benefits of Pedometer or Pedometer Apps: Using a Pedometer helps in keeping track of the steps you take while doing aerobics, running, walking, steps exercise. While starting any fitness activity, You set some goals and would like to monitor it. E.g. If you have to prepare for a marathon which is 2 months away, You make a schedule of running every morning. Now you run everyday and follow the same or different path. Sometimes you feel very tired and reduce the distance or sometimes you increase the distance, But you do not have track of whether your stamina or performance is increasing or not. If you do your activity using the Pedometer, It will capture the details like distance covered each day, Steps taken and duration. You can review your performance after days and weeks to check whether it is improving or not.

"text": "WELLNESS 03/11/2014 12:55 pm ETThe Truth About ‘10,000 Steps’ A Day Ruth Jenkinson via Getty Images By Rachael Rettner, Senior Writer Published: 03/11/2014 09:16 AM EDT on Live Science If you buy a smart pedometer or fitness tracker like a Fitbit, chances are the device will encourage you to take 10,000 steps a day. But do you really have to walk this much to be healthy? Experts say that while 10,000 steps a day is a good number to reach, any amount of activity beyond what you’re currently doing will likely benefit your health. The origins of the 10,000-steps recommendation aren’t exactly scientific. Pedometers sold in Japan in the 1960s were marketed under the name “manpo-kei,” which translates to “10,000 steps meter,” said Catrine Tudor-Locke, director of the Walking Behavior Laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. The idea resonated with people, and gained popularity with Japanese walking groups, Tudor-Locke said. [ The Best Pedometers of 2014]Studies conducted since then suggest that people who increased their walking to 10,000 steps daily experience health benefits. One study found that women who increased their step count to nearly 10,000 steps a day reduced their blood pressure after 24 weeks. Another study of overweight women found that walking 10,000 steps a day improved their glucose levels. Walking 10,000 steps a day is not an official recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Instead, the agency recommends adults engage in 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as brisk walking."

"text": "Related Articles1The Average Walking Stride Length2How to Push Yourself Lifting Weights3How to Teach Yourself How to Ride a Racing Bike as a Senior Citizen4Senior Exercises for the Waist and Belly If you're already using a pedometer, you're probably doing it because you want to lose weight or get in better shape. By walking on a regular basis, you're already on your way toward your goals -- but if you want to get even more detailed, you may also want to translate the number of steps you're taking into a calorie count. Data to Consider You need to create a deficit of 3,500 calories in order to lose 1 pound -- but a lot of other factors come into play when it comes to calculating how many you're burning during any given activity. Your weight is one of them. Typically, heavier people burn more calories than lighter people. For example, a 185-pound person will burn 178 calories walking at a 3.5 mph pace for 30 minutes, while a 125-pound person will only burn 120 calories in that same amount of time. Intensity matters too; that 185-pound person will burn 222 calories by speeding up to a 4.5 mph pace. The 125-pound person will burn 150 calories in that same amount of time. The Intensity Issue Here's where you might see the first problem in calculating the number of calories by the number of steps you've taken: A simple pedometer is not going to calculate your speed -- and thus won't take intensity into consideration. With that in mind, if you're calculating the number of calories you've burned based on the steps you've taken, use it as an estimate and not absolute gospel."

"text": "Walking Site Editor Wanted Bella Online's Walking Editor Converting Steps to Miles Guest Author - Deborah Crawford One mile is 5280 feet. The average stride varies from about 2 to 3 feet (two for women, 3 for men). With a 2 feet stride, you would walk a mile in 2640 steps. With a stride of 3 feet, it would only take 1760 steps. Which is quite a bit of difference. If you really want to know how many steps you need to take to walk one mile, you should measure your own stride. There are several ways to measure your stride length. Here is one way: Measure a length of twenty feet that you can walk. Start a few steps before the beginning of your 20 feet length to get into your walking rhythm and then count the steps you take from the beginning of the length until one of your feet crosses the “finish” line. Do this three or four times and then find the average of all those trials."

"text": "\"How Does a Pedometer Work?by RACHEL NALL Sept. 11, 2017Proper Usage A pedometer is a device that tracks the number of steps a person takes throughout the course of the day. This small device is often used to help a person meet a set goal of steps taken per day in order to increase the amount of calories burned. While pedometers range in levels of sophistication, they have some basic commonalities in how they count steps. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key A pedometer is most often worn clipped to a belt and upright, which facilitates the most accurate reading possible. Correct wear of the pedometer allows it to perform its counting duties. Data Collection The number of steps taken daily can be measured by a pedometer in one of two ways. The first is through measuring the movement of the hips. Because when a person walks, his hips are propelled forward in a back-and-forth motion, the pedometer counts every motion a person makes via the hips as a step. Each person may take a different length of stride that can affect the pedometer's measurement differently. For this reason, it's often possible to calibrate the pedometer according to the length of the stride taken and the corresponding hip \"\"bump\"\" this makes to the pedometer."

But, in addition to doing the positive, here are 10 things to stop doing.1 Stop Forgetting to Check Your Pedometer, Fitness Band, or Pedometer App People Images / Getty Images Use a pedometer, fitness band, or pedometer app as a reality check on how much you actually are moving throughout the day. For weight loss, first see how many steps you walk in a typical day. Then set a goal of 2,000 more steps per day than that average number. Check your pedometer frequently during the day to stay on target and look for opportunities to get in more steps. As you are able to achieve more steps consistently, increase your target goal by another 2,000 steps per day. Work your way up to 10,000 steps most days of the week.2 Stop Finding Excuses to Not Walk or Exercise There are a million excuses for why you can skip your walking or exercise on any given day. If you plan to walk off weight, you must conquer those reasons why you didn't get in your walking steps. Every. Single."

Ours come with the endorsement of a UK vet and in the accompanying paperwork there is a great spiel about how so many dogs are now becoming obese, and how important it is to keep them fit. There is also a chart, saying how many steps your dog should take each day, according to its breed. My friend has an incredibly speedy and tirelss whippet-terrier cross, which we decided should be in the \"\"high\"\" energy category, same as the border collie, which according to the vet should do 30,000 steps a day. ( You can't tire this dog out. When we walk in the woods its a dot on the horizon, now and again zipping past us before disappearing again). Bramble I decided was between the \"\"low\"\" and \"\"medium\"\" energy categories - somewhere around 10,000 steps. So we set out and did one of our usual walks - two miles through the woods, taking about an hour and a half (we weren't hurrying). As we expected, my friend's dog did a huge mileage compared to Brams - 8 and a half miles, to his two miles. I expected him to be the same as me, as he was trundling along by my side, although off lead."

"text": "Ingenious Walking Method To Burn Tons of Fat in 7 Weeks By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Walking is one of the safest forms of exercise known today. Depending on how often you walk, you can manage to easily lose one pound per week or more. Think about it, in less than five months you can be 20 pounds lighter without spending hours at the gym and without going on a diet. Advertisement While you shed the pounds and inches from your body, you are also toning your muscles and improving your health. Once you learn how to implement the principles of walking to lose weight into your lifestyle, you will surely be hooked on this easy and beneficial exercise routine. How to Lose Weight by Walking The number of calories you can burn by walking is determined by your body weight and walking pace. On average, if you walk at a pace of 4 miles per hour (a common pace) you can burn roughly 400 calories per hour. You don’t necessarily need to go 4 miles a day. As an example, if you commit to walking 3 extra miles, they would be burning an extra 300 calories a day. You can even walk a shorter distance than that and combine it with your daily schedule."

If not, adjust it and do the 50 steps again Once you find the correct location, wear it in the same place each day Step counters do not work correctly if attached to your shoe Be sure your step counter is attached firmly at all times, ff it is tilted or flops around it may miscount steps Wear your step counter all day, from when you get dressed in the morning until you go to bed at night Do not wear your step counter when you are showering, taking a bath or swimming Step counters do not work with “non-weight bearing activities” such as bicycling or swimming Record your daily steps on your personal activity tracking sheet at the end of each day Remember to set your step counter to zero each day Pedometer/Step Counter Conversions Use this online calculator to convert steps to miles, or multiply the number of minutes you did the activity by the number of steps indicated on the chart below. For example, 30 minutes of mopping equals 3030 steps. ( 30 minutes x 101). If your activity is not listed below, find the one (s) most similar to it on the list and estimate the activity's step value. You can also estimate steps by knowing that 2,000 steps equals one mile. Remove your pedometer when choosing an activity other than walking, but do not reset your pedometer to zero. Use the step conversion chart to calculate your steps during a “non-walking” activity and add those steps to the total number on your pedometer at the end of the day.

That's about an extra mile a day of stepping. Research by Dr. James O. Hill suggests those 2000 steps can burn 100 calories and make the difference. If you want to lose weight, he suggests starting with 2000 more steps per day and then adding more steps.2000 More Steps per Day Sedentary people in the USA generally move only 2000 to 3000 steps a day. Studies have shown that moving 6000 steps a day significantly reduces the risk of death, and 8,000 to 10,000 a day promotes weight loss. It is a good start to add 2000 more steps to each day. How far do you go in 2000 steps? It is about a mile. If you walked it continuously, it would take 15 to 25 minutes. But the benefits for health and for weight management don't depend on you walking a mile all at one time, but simply adding in more steps throughout the day."

There is a yellow perch that is closely related which is an American and southern Canadian species. When a perch is large it is a bold, attractive, rather chunky fish. The body is oval and as the fish begins to grow it develops a humped back. This fish has two dorsal fins, the first is armed with long sharp spines, and only the first spine of the second dorsal is sharp. The perch has rough scales that are rough to the touch, and the gill plate culminates in a sharp bony spike. The perch likes to eat worms, small fish, nymphs and larvae, as well as many of their owm small perch."

Some fish, however, contain high amounts of mercury—enough to damage a fetus or newborn. That is why pregnant and nursing mothers must be very careful about the amounts and types of fish they eat. Young children should also avoid eating fish high in mercury."

This invader may compete with native fish for food and habitat. First discovered in western Lake Superior in 1986, ruffe populations have rapidly increased in the St. Louis River at Duluth-Superior and spread to other rivers and bays along the south shore of western Lake Superior. They have also spread to Thunder Bay, Ontario on Lake Superior, and the Thunder Bay River, Michigan on Lake Huron. The potential for ruffe to expand their range in North American waters is causing great concern. Anglers can be the first to discover ruffe because these fish are commonly caught by hook and line. Early detection of isolated populations may help slow or prevent the spread of ruffe. Your help to report new sightings and to prevent their spread is vital. Identify Eurasian Ruffe The ruffe is a small fish that resembles a yellow perch with walleye markings. In fact, it is a member of the perch family."

Some breeders or stores provide a \"\"health certificate\"\" to the new owners, saying that the bird has previously been checked by a vet and is healthy. When you think about it, this only means that the bird was healthy when it was checked, and then it was brought back into the facility, where it could potentially come into contact with a sick bird and pick up a disease. At one point, early in my breeding experience, I asked a prominent veterinarian if he provided health certificates for babies to be given to the buyer. He told me \"\"no\"\", and said: 1.) this would put his reputation at risk, because he would be certifying a bird as healthy that could possibly come into contact with a pathogen after he checked it, and it would be safer to check the bird after it is moved from the presence of other birds to its new home, 2.) he wanted the new owner to come in for a health check so that he could meet them and make sure that they had been informed properly of the responsibilities of ownership, the commitment involved, and basic bird care, and 3.) after visiting the vet for the health check, the new owner would hopefully not hesitate to bring the bird to him if there ever were a problem. The important thing to look for when purchasing a bird, is whether you can obtain a health guarantee from the seller in writing. It should state that if the bird is checked by a vet within a reasonable length of time and if there is a problem, then you can take the bird back to the seller for a full refund."

Much of the pelican’s diet consists of fish which can be as long as 30 cm. It’s only sometimes that pelicans rely on turtles, amphibians, crustaceans, and birds. They are most likely to prey on aquatic animals which they catch at the water surface. What Do Pelicans Eat White pelicans in particular will prey on fish in deep water. When fish are available in small schools pelicans will encircle these fish to make them go into the shallow. Moments later they will beat their wings on the water surface to scoop up the prey. The entire strategy takes only one minute during which the other birds are likely to join pelicans at lunch. One way to catch big fish is that pelicans pick them with the tip of the bill in order to toss up in the air and then open the gullet to swallow. Pelicans are often seen snatching prey from the mouth of other water birds."

Do Bald Eagles mate for life? Typically, yes, although occasionally an intruding adult (not one of the pair) comes in (usually a female) and battles the resident bird for the territory, sometimes then taking over. If one of the pair dies, the other will find a new mate and usually keep going in the same territory. – PNHow do eagles mate / copulate and how often? Mating happens by pressing cloaca together – This is also known as the ‘cloacal kiss’. The female will lean forward, the male will land on her back. The female will move her tail feathers to one side, the male will press and twist his cloacal opening around her cloaca, passing the sperm from his cloaca to hers. Generally, eagles may mate throughout the year depending on if the pair migrates. Frequent mating strengthens their bond to each other and increases the chance of fertile eggs, the female may have 3 two week windows throughout a breeding season where she is fertile."

Most people would tell you that walleyes are one of the best fish on the table and they are right. Except their smaller “cousin” the yellow perch, is just as good, and maybe even a little bit better. For that reason word of a hot perch bite during a Nebraska winter travels faster than the blowing snow. No doubt Nebraska ice anglers would take every yellow perch opportunity they could get and more. Let me digress for a moment and explain why we do not have more. . . . Yellow perch are a cool-water fish. When you think of cool-water species, yellow perch require cool-water habitat every bit as much as northern pike and walleyes. There have been studies that have shown that yellow perch and walleyes actually need a certain amount of cold during the winter for their eggs and milt to properly develop. In addition, yellow perch require some type of vegetative substrate, aquatic vegetation or submerged terrestrial vegetation, for successful spawning."

Here are some common bill shapes and the food they are especially adapted to eat: SHAPE TYPE ADAPTATIONCracker Seed eaters like sparrows and cardinals have short, thick conical bills for cracking seed. Shredder Birds of prey like hawks and owls have sharp, curved bills for tearing meat. Chisel Woodpeckers have bills that are long and chisel-like for boring into wood to eat insects. Probe Hummingbird bills are long and slender for probing flowers for nectar. Strainer Some ducks have long, flat bills that strain small plants and animals from the water.

Normal wild perching birds that naturally feed on seed, fruit and wild berries will feed baby birds with insects and worms as supplement. Baby birds eat insects like grasshopers, flyes and snails to provide extra protein for baby bird growth. Birds grow at a fast rate and extra protein boost helps with that. Baby birds have quite demanding diet needs, it will depent on their age and species, baby birds will eat every 15-20 minutes for 12 hours every day, eating a diet rich in insects for sufficient protein to ensure the fast growth rate. In case you find a hatchling or young bird which seems abandoned by its parents, at first just leave it alone. Move away and observe if its parents are coming down to feed it; in a certain period the parent birds may leave the younglings to encourage them to find their own food. However, if the bird is in danger (from cats for example), move it to an elevated safe place, or put it in a cage or box someplace where its parents can reach it. Sometimes you will find on the ground baby birds which have not yet developed any feathers. These are most often martins or sparrows, and the best solution is to return them to their nest."

"text": "Periodon TAL Specialists A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the treatment of oral inflammation. Periodontists receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. They are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease, and are also trained in performing cosmetic periodontal procedures. Periodontists often treat more problematic periodontal cases, such as those with severe gum disease or a complex medical history. Periodontists offer a wide range of treatments, such as scaling and root planing (in which the infected surface of the root is cleaned) or root surface debridement (in which damaged tissue is removed). They can also treat patients with severe gum problems using a range of surgical procedures. In addition, periodontists are specially trained in the placement, maintenance, and repair of dental implants. During the first visit, the periodontist usually reviews the patient’s complete medical and dental histories. It is extremely important for the periodontist to know if any medications are being taken or if the patient is being treated for any condition that can affect periodontal care, such as heart disease, diabetes, or pregnancy."

"text": "\"Home »Career Paths »Training and Certifications How Many Years Does it Take to Become a Dentist? By Shelley Moore; Updated July 05, 2017Becoming a dentist requires at least 8 years of education beyond high school. After the required education, the dentist becomes licensed and can go into general practice, or choose to specialize further and get additional education. The American Dental Association recognizes nine specialties, which involve another 2 to 6 years of post-graduate education. Identification The Bachelor of Science degree is traditionally a four-year program, and an individual planning to become a dentist usually majors in pre-dental or pre-medical, or another science area such as biology or chemistry. The student then obtains a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DDM) degree from an accredited dental school, which is another four-year program. Many dentists go on to specialize in a certain area, and the length of training depends on the specialty. Types Training programs which take 2 to 3 years include periodontists, endodontists, pedodontists, dental public health specialists, prosthodontists, and oral and maxillofacial radiologists. Training which requires an additional 4 to 6 years includes oral and maxillofacial surgeons, oral and maxillofacial pathologists, and orthodontists and dentofacial orthopedic specialists. Function Periodontists treat gum disease and the damaging results to surrounding cartilage and bone structure, and insert dental implants when they cannot save loose teeth."

So, this article serves as our best attempt to dispel the myths around receding gums and offer you some support on how to best address gum recession to stop its progression in your own mouth. Let’s start by laying down some mouth anatomy to help us have a level playing field for this discussion. Gum tissue anatomy 1.0Gum tissue is really nothing more than a layer of skin over bone tissue of the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible). Gum tissue will stay strong and high on the teeth as long as the underlying jaw bone is intact.

However, there are other names referring to gum disease such as periodontitis and gingivitis. Regardless of the name, gum disease begins with bacteria growth in your mouth and ends with tooth loss if not properly treated. About 75% of all American adults have some form of periodontal disease after the age of 35. Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease and is the bacterial infection within the tissues in the mouth. Bone and the teeth’s connective tissue are destroyed once gum disease sets in. The toxins, produced from the bacteria, damage the surrounding tissues and enter under the gum line. This disease can be tricky to detect since the signs and symptoms are virtually unnoticeable due to the lack of pain or discomfort. People who suspect gum disease should see a gum dentist, or periodontist, especially if their regular dentists recommend one. Of the different versions of gum disease, only gingivitis can be reversed."

Its the upper right 3rd tooth removed ( front) and there was no infection on the root itself.extraction Answers ( 12)An implant can be placed 8-10 weeks after an atraumatic extraction. Therefore at 2 months after the extraction, you should go to the periodontist/oral surgeon for a pre operative, pre implannt placcement visit. At this visit, you should have an x-ray of the bone and determine if the density/volume of the bone is adequate. Sincerely,Anca Bazile, DDS, MSD, Periodontist, New York City Anca Bazile, DDSNew York Dentist This question is about Dental Implants88% of Real Self users think it's WORTH ITProviders (146)Photos (390)Reviews (396)Cost ($6,700 Average)Questions (3,337)Timing of Implant Placement Dear Pinar, Assuming you were referred to a specialist for the extraction of your tooth, then that oral surgeon or periodontist is the best person to advise you of the appropriate time to place your implant. If there is no infection, then the implant is often placed at the time of the extraction. However, if there is infection around the extracted tooth, then several months are required for the infection to clear up and for the bone to fill in properly before the implant can be placed. Being that this is a front tooth and that wearing a temporary tooth can be troublesome, I suggest you go back to that surgeon that extracted your tooth. It could be that you are now ready to have the implant placed thus expediting the time that you get your final tooth. Rebecca Castaneda, DDSSan Francisco Dentist1 review Dental Implant after Extraction You should always make sure the bone quality is optimal and this is seen with a CT scan."

"text": "What age are most adults when they start losing their teeth? Well, it may surprise you to learn, adult teeth don’t ‘die’, which means they don’t fall out from natural causes (unless you call falling head-first off your bike or being punched in the face a natural cause!) Disease or trauma are the main culprits for adult teeth dying. Most people assume losing teeth is a natural consequence of the aging process. Not so. All too often, just like most things in life, if you lose your teeth and end up with false teeth, you’re probably the cause. Baby teeth fall out on their own to be replaced with adult permanent teeth. However, adult teeth don’t fall out from natural causes. So that’s the good (and the bad) news. You don’t have to lose your teeth, but if you do, don’t blame nature, in most cases the cause can be found a little closer to home."

Smoking, certain illnesses (such as diabetes), older age, stress, and other factors increase the risk for periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating this condition. Without proper treatment, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. Prevent Periodontal Disease: Practice Good Dental Hygiene Consistent good dental hygiene can help prevent gingivitis and periodontitis. If you smoke, you should quit. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease. The American Dental Association recommends that everyone: Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste (be sure to replace toothbrushes every 1 to 3 months). Clean between the teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner. Eat a well-balanced diet and limit snacking between meals."

"text": "Dentists • Dental Specialties The Dentist A dentist is the health care professional who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity (including the teeth, gums and other soft and hard tissues of the mouth). Dentists, also known as 'dental surgeons', help us maintain a bright healthy smile. The role of the dentist The main goal of modern dentistry is to help us maintain our natural teeth for as long as possible or, in case of tooth loss, to substitute missing teeth with an artificial replacement (dental implant, bridge or dentures) in order to restore the full and proper functionality of our mouth. They also encourage prevention of oral diseases through proper daily oral hygiene and regular, twice yearly, checkups for professional cleaning and evaluation. A dentist performs a variety of dental treatments such as dental restorations (fillings, crowns, bridges), orthodontics (braces), prosthetics (dentures, implants, veneers), endodontics (root canal), periodontal therapy (gum treatments), tooth extractions, or cosmetic treatments as teeth whitening. Dentists can administer or prescribe medications such as antibiotics, fluorides, pain killers, local anesthetics, sedatives and any other medication required for the treatment of the various dental conditions. Although most of the dental procedures can be performed by every general dentist, some complex treatments such as orthodontics, sedation or general anesthesia, oral and maxillofacial surgery require additional qualifications, training and licensing. Learn how to find a good dentist. Dental Specialties A dental specialty is an area of dentistry that has been formally recognized by each country's National Dental Association as meeting the specified requirements for recognition of Dental Specialists. Dentist specialties are recognized in those areas where advanced knowledge and skills are essential to maintain or restore oral health."

"text": "The Cost of Dental Implants. # 4 Might Surprise You!With costs seemingly rising here in the UK more patients are tempted to look overseas to replace missing teeth with dental implants, but what is the cost of doing this and what is the true cost of a dental implant here in the UK? To answer this rather intricate question a London dentist has written a blog post detailing how the cost of a dental implant is made up and what you could save, or not save, by going abroad. What is involved in the cost of dental implant? The cost of a dental implant is made up of the following components: Your dental surgeon’s time to prepare the diagnostics, analysis and preparation work prior to the implant. Training courses for the team to ensure they know exactly how the dental implants work. The dental implant itself, this is a precision made piece of engineering manufactured to tolerances of a fraction of a millimetre. The Crown which goes on top of the dental implant made by a highly skilled dental technician. The follow-up and after-care provided by the dentist to ensure that the dental implant integrates into the bone and heals properly.

When to See a Periodontist Anytime is a good time to be seen by a periodontist for evaluation. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of problems that affect the gums and other supporting tissues of the teeth, and in the placement of dental implants. Typically, a periodontist has had two to three years of additional training in diagnosing and treating gum disease and its associated problems. Periodontists are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease. Moreover, periodontists can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to improve your smile.

"text": "\"What is a Periodontist? Periodontal Dentistry Each person’s smile is different… but every attractive smile has two things in common: A full set of pearly white teeth, and the right amount of healthy pink gum tissue to show them off. For the most part, your general dentist is the healthcare provider who takes care of your teeth—checking for signs of a problem, providing treatment when needed, and making sure you get regular professional teeth cleanings. But who should you see when your gums need some extra help? That’s a job for a periodontist. Periodontists are the dental professionals who focus on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the gums, as well as other structures that support the teeth. Among other things, they can recognize and treat the early stages of gum inflammation before it gets out of hand; perform minor surgery to resolve complicated cases of periodontitis (severe gum disease); use lasers or gum grafting techniques to restore the appearance of a smile; and even place dental implants in the jaw, when a tooth can’t be saved. Periodontists are sometimes called “the plastic surgeons of dentistry.” Like conventional plastic surgeons, they can use various techniques to remodel soft tissue, and even reshape bone in the jaw. But periodontists aren’t just concerned with outward appearances; maintaining healthy, disease-free gums is a key part of good oral health."

"text": "Gum Treatment Healthy gums for healthy teeth Gums are as important to your oral hygiene and a healthy smile, as your teeth. Periodontics deals with the care of the tissues that surround the teeth. It encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases that can affect the health of your mouth. What is gum disease? Our mouths are hotbeds for bacteria which can lead to infection of your gums. These bacteria can form a layer over the teeth called plaque. Although brushing and flossing can remove plaque to a large extent, some of it hardens to form a substance called tartar that can be removed only through professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist. If tartar and plaque are not removed in time, the bacteria can cause an inflammation of the gums called Gingivitis. Gingivitis can be treated with regular visits to the dentists and proper brushing and flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to a more severe condition called Periodontitis, where the infection spreads below the gum line and eventually lead to the bone and resulting in tooth loss."

"text": "Periodontal Disease Fact Sheet The Prevalence of Periodontal Disease According to recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), half of Americans aged 30 or older have periodontitis, the more advanced form of periodontal disease. This equals approximately 64.7 million Americans. The Causes & Symptoms Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that affects the soft and hard structures that support the teeth. In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums become swollen and red due to inflammation, which is the body’s natural response to the presence of harmful bacteria. In the more serious form of periodontal disease called periodontitis, the gums pull away from the tooth and supporting gum tissues are destroyed. Bone can be lost, and the teeth may loosen or eventually fall out. Chronic periodontitis, the most advanced form of the disease, progresses relatively slowly in most people and is typically more evident in adulthood. Although inflammation as a result of a bacterial infection is behind all forms of periodontal disease, a variety of factors can influence the severity of the disease. Important risk factors include inherited or genetic susceptibility, smoking, lack of adequate home care, age, diet, health history, and medications. The Perio-Systemic Connection Several research studies have suggested that periodontal disease is connected to variety of other diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis."

Don't know whether you need a periodontist, a prosthodontist or a pedodontist? Here's a quick rundown of the various dental specialists and what they do. Endodontist If you've ever had the misfortune of needing a root canal, you know what an endodontist does! Endodonics deals with diseases and disorders of the dental pulp and soft tissue. An endodontist will work to cure these problems and save your teeth. The endodontist may also be able to save a tooth which has been knocked out of your mouth. Endodontists must take an additional 2-3 years of specialized study beyond dental school, and participate in continuing education to stay current in their field. Oral/Maxillofacial Surgeon Commonly seen for wisdom tooth removals, an oral surgeon is a someone who specializes in surgery of the mouth and face. Among the many procedures an oral surgeon performs are removal of oral cancers, reconstructive surgery, tooth removals, repair of birth defects, placement of dental implants, surgery to alleviate TMJ symptoms and repair of facial bone fractures."

"text": "Full Mouth Reconstruction Full mouth reconstruction, rehabilitation and restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. Full mouth reconstruction typically involves general or restorative dentists (performing procedures like crowns, bridges and veneers), and can incorporate dental specialists like periodontists (specializing in the gums), oral surgeons, orthodontists (specializing in tooth movements and positions) and endodontists (specializing in the tooth pulp). The need for full mouth reconstruction may result from: Teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma. Teeth that have been injured or fractured. Teeth that have become severely worn as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding. Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle and headache pain requiring adjustments to the bite (occlusion). How the Process Begins If you think you need reconstruction, see your dentist for a comprehensive examination. Your dentist will examine your mouth to determine the extent of the problem and the treatment options that can be used to correct it. In particular, he or she will examine the condition of your: Teeth: The condition of your teeth will determine what restorative procedures may be needed, such as porcelain veneers or full-coverage crowns, inlays or onlays, bridges or implants restored with a crown.

This can happen because your lips and cheeks are not yet used to rubbing against your orthodontic braces. Over time, the inside of your mouth will become tougher and you will not have sores anymore. To provide some relief for your lips and cheeks rubbing against your braces, you can place a small amount of wax on the area of the braces that is causing the sore or ulcer."

Personal shoppers turn errands and shopping into a vocation, serving clients who are too busy or simply unable to shop for themselves. Purchases might include groceries and other necessary items, but more often they’re clothing and accessories. As a home-based business, it’s ideal for someone who loves to shop. A sense of style and a bit of marketing savvy are imperative. Who's going to take sartorial advice from a schlub in T-shirt and jeans?

"text": "Supports K@W's Marketing Content For years, retailers and manufacturers of consumer products have taken for granted the notion that attractive presentation and a bit of whimsy profoundly influence most shoppers’ purchasing decisions. In his 1999 book Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping, psychologist and market researcher Paco Underhill described supermarkets “as places of high impulse buying…. Fully 60% to 70% of purchases there were unplanned, grocery industry studies have shown us. ”Underhill’s book and subsequent studies have since prompted retailers to devote growing resources to in-store promotion — for example, featuring certain products at the ends of aisles and in checkout lines to encourage impulse buying. But Wharton marketing professor David R. Bell and two colleagues beg to differ, describing the idea that most supermarket purchases are unplanned as something of an urban legend. In a new research paper, “Unplanned Category Purchase Incidence: Who Does It, How Often and Why,” Bell and his co-authors arguethat the amount of unplanned buying is closer to 20%. Their research does not indicate that in-store marketing is unimportant, but that retailers may need to rethink strategies for it. The researchers found that certain traits of shoppers, including age, income and their particular shopping style, have a greater effect on making unplanned purchases than does the store or environment. In other words, Bell says, “the differences are based on who they are rather than what they’re exposed to. It relates to the issue of nature vs. nurture."

"text": "Ask people who have shopped at Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) store if they liked it, and you will likely hear exuberant songs of praise, along with a list of great deals they found on their last shopping trip. More than 81 million people pay $55 for annual memberships for the privilege of shopping at Costco, with fewer than 10% each year deciding the experience isn’t worth the price of membership. To some, Costco shopping is a religious experience, which might explain why Sunday is its busiest day. For others, going to Costco is like going on a treasure hunt. They may be going to stock up on cereal or wine, but to get there they need to walk past large aisles packed floor to ceiling with new inventories of cool stuff. When you walk into a Costco, you never know what you are going to find, which is one of the reasons why Costco shoppers spend nearly 150% more per shopping trip than at the average retailer. Another reason is that the retail markup at Costco is never more than 15%, so shoppers know they are getting a good deal. Costco Is Not For Everyone Bargains are the big attraction at Costco, but the average transaction is often very steep, which is why the typical Costco shopper earns about $100,000 a year. Costco shoppers enjoy a bargain as much as anyone else, but they also have the means to buy in bulk, which, for many products, is the only way to buy them. Although the cost of shampoo at Costco is the lowest around, shoppers pay three times that amount because it is typically sold as a three-pack."

For those shoppers who do in-store shopping at Walmart, only 19% of them will shop at the retail giant’s online store as well. 74% of these shoppers regularly use Amazon for their online needs. Only 18% of Amazon’s customers will also shop at Walmart for online needs. A majority of Walmart shoppers live in markets that contain fewer than 500k people."

For that reason, they are often called stylists or image consultants. But personal shoppers can also be independent consultants who shop for celebrities or politicians who want to keep up with the latest fashions or trends; others specialize in holiday shopping for busy middle-class families. Whichever target market they serve, personal shoppers usually meet with clients and determine the types of items they need. Their incomes are relatively average compared to other occupations. Incomes and Qualifications While well-established personal shoppers can earn upwards of $300,000 annually, according to \"\"Seventeen.\"\" On average, however, personal shoppers earn an income of $33,000 per year as of 2013, according to the job website Simply Hired.com. There are no specific educational requirements for this job; retailers typically prefer hiring those with two to five years of retail sales or management experience. Those who are self-employed must enjoy shopping and have a flair for style and fashion. Interpersonal skills, good time management, organizational and computer skills are also beneficial."

Learn what skills are required, what to realistically expect, what red flags to watch out for and how to find legitimate companies that hire secret shoppers. What to Expect from Companies That Hire Secret Shoppers First and foremost, what you should never expect from companies that hire secret shoppers is for them to require that you pay a fee. A legitimate company that hires mystery shoppers will never charge you for a job. Likewise, there is no need to pay a fee to a service that will find mystery shopping jobs for you. Simply apply with any or all of the five legitimate companies listed below. Another thing that you should not expect from a secret shopper job is to get rich. Mystery shopping should be viewed as more of a hobby or a part-time job for pocket money. You will be paid for your services, provided you follow the company's shopping and reporting instructions to the letter. You might also enjoy some great perks, such as free meal and lodging at hotels and motels."

"text": "\"Merchandising refers to the techniques used to sell products to consumers. A person or company that works in this area purchases a product from a manufacturer, and then sells it to shoppers. There are numerous techniques that a merchandiser may use to convince shoppers to buy the products he or she is selling. It is usually more than just setting products on a shelf and hoping that they are purchased. The simplest way to define merchandising is to say that it is the way a product is sold. From the time a product is created, people are developing a plan for how to sell it. The type of packaging, colors, and slogans are all part of this process. Later on, which stores will carry it, where the product is placed in the store aisles, and how the retail store will promote the product that become important factors in the process. Products need to be visible if the store expects people to buy them. A product will be marketed to a target audience, or the people most likely to purchase the goods and services being offered."

"text": "\"schwarzhana / Shutterstock Instacart, the darling of the grocery-delivery industry, is looking to an unusual area of its company to decrease wages: Some of its best-performing front-line workers. Over the last few weeks, the startup has notified thousands of contractors and employees who shop for, and deliver, groceries to Instacart customers that their pay is significantly changing, sources told Re/code. In some cases, the changes amounted to huge pay cuts for the company’s lowest rung of workers, resulting in hourly rate decreases of 40 percent or more, according to six current Instacart employees and contractors. A high-performing Instacart worker in one major city once made more than $25 an hour thanks to their speed; that person will now make $15 for the same work. Several of these people say the cuts are emblematic of a wider divide at the company, where the people doing the grunt work are often treated like second-class citizens. Instacart customers order same-day delivery of groceries from local stores, which are then picked off shelves and delivered to people’s doors by a network of thousands of workers. \"\" It’s totally a 99 percent and 1 percent thing,\"\" one Instacart shopper, 54-year-old Maggie Jackson Connolly, of Boulder, Colo., told Re/code. \"\" [ Corporate employees] get this fun, exciting environment.

"text": "FASHION ETHICSThis “pay what you want” sale is presenting online shoppers with a moral dilemma Marc Bain December 29, 2015What does the price you pick say about you? ( Screen capture of Everlane's website)For many shoppers, sales are all about getting the lowest possible price. But this year, one brand has put a psychological twist on clearance shopping that may make you think twice. Everlane, an online clothing company that prides itself on explaining why its simple, nicely made basics cost what they do, is currently running a five day sale to clear overstock. And instead of slashing prices, it’s letting customers choose which of three prices they want to pay. In each case, the cheapest price covers just the cost of producing the item and shipping it, and doesn’t factor in any of the overhead costs of Everlane’s 70-person staff. The middle price covers all costs, including staff, meaning Everlane breaks even. And the highest price covers all costs while giving Everlane a profit, which the company says allows it “to invest in growth.” So here’s the moral dilemma: If Everlane has what you want, which price will you choose to pay? A spokesperson for the company says it hasn’t yet pulled any data on which price most people are paying, and Everlane hasn’t decided whether it will share that information once it is compiled."

"text": "Ask people who have shopped at Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) store if they liked it, and you will likely hear exuberant songs of praise, along with a list of great deals they found on their last shopping trip. More than 81 million people pay $55 for annual memberships for the privilege of shopping at Costco, with fewer than 10% each year deciding the experience isn’t worth the price of membership. To some, Costco shopping is a religious experience, which might explain why Sunday is its busiest day. For others, going to Costco is like going on a treasure hunt. They may be going to stock up on cereal or wine, but to get there they need to walk past large aisles packed floor to ceiling with new inventories of cool stuff. When you walk into a Costco, you never know what you are going to find, which is one of the reasons why Costco shoppers spend nearly 150% more per shopping trip than at the average retailer. Another reason is that the retail markup at Costco is never more than 15%, so shoppers know they are getting a good deal. Costco Is Not For Everyone Bargains are the big attraction at Costco, but the average transaction is often very steep, which is why the typical Costco shopper earns about $100,000 a year. Costco shoppers enjoy a bargain as much as anyone else, but they also have the means to buy in bulk, which, for many products, is the only way to buy them. Although the cost of shampoo at Costco is the lowest around, shoppers pay three times that amount because it is typically sold as a three-pack."

The early internet analogy of blockchain can be useful while looking at the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Before its mass adoption in the 1990s, the internet was dispersed in many local networks called intranets. The real breakthrough only came when different intranet networks realized that they could use a unifying Internetwork protocol to communicate among each other, thereby extending reach by compatibility even more. The invention of TCP/IP made it possible for any intranet to connect to the internet, leading to its mass adoption and present form.// -- Discuss and ask questions in our community on Workplace. Interoperability In Blockchains Since Bitcoin introduced the concept of blockchain in 2009, there are hundreds of public and private blockchains in existence today. There is no connectivity between these blockchains and each of them serves a different purpose. It is widely believed that in the future, mainstream blockchain adoption will be achieved by the development of a network which will integrate and connect all the blockchains to each other, similar to what TCP/IP did to the internet.

You’ll find this and more in this future-of-retail transcript featuring customer experience consultant and speaker Micah Solomon (that’s me, your author) and James Tenser, retail industry analyst, principal of VSN Strategies and author of the Tensers Tirades.com blog. But first, I want to make a philosophical (but strategic) point. Ultimately, this discussion’s goal isn’t to survey gee-whiz technology. It’s about how we can help the physical, brick and mortar, three-dimensional retail environment distinguish itself from an online experience. To my thinking, there are two parts to such retail industry success. Step One of what’s needed for success in the brick and mortar retail environment is what I call “digital parity”: the absolute necessity for physical stores to create an experience that is every bit as streamlined, well-stocked, seamless, easy to use, and fast as what customers have grown used to on the Web. Step Two is to figure out how to be better than the web—how to take advantage of what can best be provided by a store existing in a physical environment: theatricality, engagement, and the professional assistance of well trained and inspired human associates. Even the best of retailers are only halfway there in this desperately important journey."

From current estimates, (they are known to be the 12th biggest factor contributing to deaths and the 17th most influential cause of disability globally. This is because chronic and persistent urinary disorders are often linked to vascular problems, diabetes, hypertension and heart related disorders.

Part 1: When Your Dream Relationship Turns Into Your Worst Nightmare Many men have had the experience of entering what they thought was their dream relationship only to find out months down the road that their dream had turned into a nightmare. This woman may have appeared to be the dream partner that you had spent your lifetime looking for, someone who truly understood you the way no one else ever had. The bond that you formed with her may have been the strongest you have ever felt for another human being, and you may have very quickly been convinced that this was the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. But what you might not have known is that the woman you were dating probably started out in the relationship by idealizing you. She may have only chosen to acknowledge the qualities in you she liked, ignoring the qualities she didn’t. You also might not have known that she chose to only show you the qualities she believed you would like and may have hidden the qualities she feared would cause you to reject her. From Dr. Jekyll To Mr. Hyde You were probably caught completely off guard when one day you found that the love of your life had abruptly changed from your best friend into someone who now acted like you were her worst enemy. Or it may have happened so slowly that you didn’t realize until months later that she had changed into a person you hardly recognized. Whether it happened slowly or it was an overnight transformation, you probably eventually realized that the woman who was once in love with you had turned against you, and unless you fixed the problem, you were going to lose what you may have felt was the most important relationship of your life."

"text": "If you’re like most people, you’ve encountered at least a few narcissistic individuals in your lifetime. You know the type – the person who is typically described as vain and self-absorbed. They often regard themselves as the center of the universe – and you (along with everyone else) are expected to cater to them, even if that means neglecting your own needs and desires. Although many people can be selfish and conceited from time to time, some individuals take it to a whole other level. When these traits define the person – and they negatively impact everyone who is part of their life for as long as they are a part of it – they usually signal a mental health condition known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Like all personality disorders, naricissism can have far-reaching consequences for both the one suffering from it and the people who care about them. What are Personality Disorders? Before taking a closer look at narcissistic personality disorder, let’s consider what the term “personality disorder” actually means. Although they are complex disorders, a personality disorder is essentially characterized by a person’s consistent use of maladaptive coping techniques throughout their adult life. This is especially evident in social situations."

I've been there myself, so I'm going to try to open a window you can see into my sister's development issues by revealing personal history. Here goes: My significant other in my life with severe BPD is my eldest sister, whom I love very, very much, yet I've been forced to go No Contact out of self preservation for years. We shared a fractured childhood with an NPD mom and absent-minded dad (for her & the other two siblings). It's impossible for me to entirely condemn her for bad episodes because I feel so much sympathy for her — I nearly wound up BPD as well, you see. My mom prevented the other kids from bonding with dad by using him as the punisher for our perceived wrongdoing. This play failed with me, because I got in an accident at age three & cracked my head open; luckily my dad was home that day and saved me by tightly wrapping my head in a towel to stop the blood loss and rushing me to the hospital (pre-911 days). From then on, he was my hero, because it was impossible for me to miss how much he cared when I was hurt. He saved my sanity as well as my life that day. So my mother couldn't convince me to be frightened of our dad like she could with the other kids, who believed there was no reasoning with him in matters of discipline."

It has dispositional properties, expressive and motivational components, situational and individual variations, cognitive and excitatory interdependent manifestations and psychophysiological (especially neuroendocrine) aspects. From the psychobiological point of view, it probably had its survival utility in early evolution, but it seems to have lost a lot of it in modern societies.

By The MNT Editorial Team Last updated Wed 30 March 2016What is autism? Causes and research Autism is known as a complex developmental disability. Experts believe that Autism presents itself during the first three years of a person's life. The condition is the result of a neurological disorder that has an effect on normal brain function, affecting development of the person's communication and social interaction skills. People with autism have issues with non-verbal communication, a wide range of social interactions, and activities that include an element of play and/or banter. Genomic research is beginning to discover that people with autism spectrum disorders probably share genetic traits with individuals with ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity isorder), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or clinical depression. A team at the Cross Disorders Group of the Psychiatric Genomic Consortium suggests that the five mental disorders and illnesses have the same common inherited genetic variations. What is ASD?

There is significant confusion and argument amongst researchers and the general population as how to operationalize these terms. You will not find the terms psychopath and sociopath in mental health’s official handbook, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Doctors don’t officially diagnose people as psychopaths or sociopaths. They use a different term instead: antisocial personality disorder. Most experts believe psychopaths and sociopaths share a similar set of traits. People like this have a poor inner sense of right and wrong. They also can’t seem to understand or share another person’s feelings. But there are some differences, too. PSYCHOPATHSA primary psychopath is an inherited condition."

The GAF is a scale from 0 to 100 where higher scores indicate greater levels of functioning. Optimal mental health and coping capabilities are represented by scores in the 91 – 100 range. Persons with mild psychological problems fall in the 71 – 90 range. Severe problems fall in the 21 – 30 range and 1 – 10 is reserved for persistently suicidal persons or persons incapable of meeting even minimal personal hygiene standards.

This is a doctor who has specialized in the treatment of animals with there being 3 basic categories that a veterinarian can choose to practice in. Large animal—this focuses mostly on farm animals such as sheep, cows, horses, and goats. Small animals—this focuses mainly on dogs and cats but some choose to specialize in small exotics like hamsters and guinea pigs. Exotic—this focuses on taking care of any animal at the zoo from lions to giraffes and some may even have private practices to see lizards and snakes. A veterinarian can also go into a specialty like physicians do when they are taking care of the human body. Job description of a veterinarian To give a good job description of a veterinarian will depend on what subspecialty they choose after deciding which category they are going to major in. Some veterinarians will be general practice veterinarians while other may choose a subspecialty of orthopedics, oncology, radiology, and more. Some of the general things that a veterinarian will do is provide basic surgery, vaccinations, setting broken bones, spay and neuter, well pet exams, treating kidney failure, treating bacterial and viral infects, treating abscesses, and the least favorite of many veterinarian is to euthanize an animal. Being a veterinarian you will also need to know how to operate medical machinery like an X-ray machine because unlike human patients who you can send somewhere to have X-rays done, a veterinarian will do the X-rays in the office."

"text": "How Much is Pet Insurance?posted by Sierra Black on 29 December 2010 98 Comments Share Tweet Pin0New here? You may want updates via email or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Pet insurance costs will vary based on the type of pet, its age and other factors, but one national pet insurance company recently quoted us a policy online of $94.54 per month with a $200 deductible for a 6-year-old mixed breed, female dog. That number can go higher or lower depending on the deductible, very much like human insurance. While becoming a more recognizable option, most pets are not privately insured. According to the North American Pet Health Insurance Association, there are 179 million pets in North America and about 1.4 million are covered by insurance. The most important tip is to understand what the policy does and does not cover and how the monthly fees compare to average yearly veterinary care for your pet. In some cases, it may make more sense to simply bulk up your emergency fund, as blogger Sierra Black did. Before we get to her story, though: Pet insurance isn’t the only option. if you have trouble affording care for your pet, the ASPCA has resources that can help."

"text": "How to choose the right pet insurance Coverage & Benefit Limits are the most important factors to consider when comparing pet insurance. Coverage WATCH: Pet Insurance Coverage Explained Whether your pet needs a couple stitches put into an injured paw or if they’re facing a serious life threatening condition like cancer, you want a plan that has broad coverage & has few exclusions. After all, pet insurance is for the unexpected, and while some breeds are pre-disposed for specific health problems, the only thing you can really expect as a pet parent is that the unexpected will happen. An exception to the broad coverage rule is wellness coverage, also referred to as preventative care, which covers routine procedures such as checkups & vaccinations. Despite sounding like something you might want to have included as part of your pet insurance plan, wellness coverage is not a good deal. WATCH: Wellness & Preventative Coverage Explained There’s a reason 82% of policies in the US do not cover wellness or preventative care. Wellness coverage drives up your monthly premiums & makes it so you pay more over the life of your pet for inexpensive procedures that are cheaper to pay out-of-pocket. In general, we don't recommend wellness coverage because you're usually better off paying out-of-pocket. Three Primary Types of Coverage Comprehensive: Accidents & Illnesses The best pet insurance should cover accidents and illnesses. These include broken bones, swallowed objects, cancer, diabetes, ear infections and numerous other conditions."

Since graduating with a two-year degree in veterinary technology, Deeks has enjoyed a varied and relatively lucrative career, first as a research technician for a pharmaceutical company, then at the University of Toronto and finally at a small-animal practice. Still, she couldn’t cover her living expenses, so she took a job managing the dental office at a university veterinary school for $22 per hour, and added a 12-hour shift every week as a veterinary technician in an emergency animal hospital where she earns $16 per hour. Shelley Harpster, pictured with a 6-week-old Pallas’s Cat, is a licensed veterinary technician at a zoo in Sioux Falls, N. D. She credits her husband's income with enabling her to stay with the highly rewarding but low-paying job. Photo courtesy Shelly Harpster. “ I would love to do the emergency work full-time, but the pay differential makes it not worth it,\"\" explained Deeks, who lives and works in Guelph, Ontario. “ We have a mortgage and bills.” Shelley Harpster, a licensed veterinary technician with 20 years of experience, works at a zoo in Sioux Falls, S. D., for $13 per hour. She loves the job in part because of the challenges of figuring out new ways of getting animals to take their medications both for prevention of disease and treatment of illnesses. “ Apparently, I’m just a sucker, because I enjoy what I am doing, and I can’t imagine doing anything else,” she said. “"

Wait a minute – a few weeks you say? Shouldn’t you be done with tattoo healing by now? Welllll – not quite. If you have never been tattooed then you may not realize what the tattoo healing process involves. Tattoo healing can be easy and fast and completely stress-free OR it can turn into a bit of a nightmare if you’re not careful. And by careful I mean CAREFUL. You have an open wound and you better take awesome care of your new tattoo or things could turn ugly…quick. Any decent artist will tell you what to do in regards to healing. Most, if not all give you an “aftercare” sheet (cause your brain is so blitzed after being inked if it is not written down you WILL NOT remember it) and if you follow the instructions to a tee everything will turn out fine."

He has been eating grass all day and trying to puke but can't. Other than this, he is acting totally fine- playing, barking, eating/drinking, urinating, etc. I have already tried to find a vet who would accept payments ( I am a med student and currently really broke)- that isn't going to happen. I cannot believe these vets take an oath to care for animals, but literally told me that he will die if I cannot produce cash. When I take my oath as a doctor, I would lose my license and go to prison for murder if I refused to treat someone who was very ill. I applied for the care card, etc- it isn't happening. I have no money, so I am trying to find ways to help him. Is there a natural laxative to give him?"

Average Claim: $446-$604 Radiation Therapy: $2,000-$6,000E-mail Post Tweet Comments (55)Typical costs: Costs vary widely, depending on the type and stage of cancer, the number of treatments needed and the age and condition of the dog. The initial visit, including diagnosis, discussion of prognosis and a treatment plan likely will cost $200 and up, depending on the location of the cancer, according to The National Canine Cancer Foundation [ 1] . Major surgery to remove a tumor deep in the body, or that requires reconstruction, usually starts at about $1,500. Chemotherapy depends on the size of the dog, and usually ranges from $200 to $2,000 and up, for three to six months of treatment. Radiation therapy usually ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. The treatment combination depends on the type of cancer. For lymphoma, the most common type of cancer in dogs, treatment usually consists of only chemotherapy. The average claim amount submitted to Veterinary Pet Insurance [ 2] for lymphoma is $479. Mast cell tumors usually are treated with only surgery, and sometimes radiation or chemotherapy, depending on the stage, and have an average claim amount of $604."

"text": "With Health Insurance: 10%-50% Coinsurance Without Health Insurance: $2,000-$20,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (2)A PET (position emission tomography) scan involves introducing a small amount of a radioactive chemical into the body, and taking images as it moves, to study the functioning of organs or tissues. PET scans can be used to detect cancer, heart disease and brain abnormalities and to help determine treatment. PET scans do not show images as detailed as those produced by a CT scan or MRI, but can show chemical activity and blood flow as other scans cannot. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs would consist of coinsurance of 10%-50%. For example, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center [ 1] in New Hampshire, a patient with Medicare and no supplemental insurance could pay $1,500 for a whole-body scan. A PET scan is typically covered by health insurance, with some exceptions. For example, Aetna [ 2] considers PET scans medically necessary for diagnosis and management of many cardiac conditions and many types of cancer; however, for certain conditions, such as cancers of the central nervous system, they are considered investigational and not covered. For patients not covered by health insurance, a PET scan typically costs an average of about $4,900 for a PET scan of the whole body to $6,700 for the brain and $6,800 for the heart, according to New Choice Health.com [ 3] . Med Central Health System [ 4] in Ohio charges $3,059 for a PET scan from the base of skull to mid-thigh, $3,304 for a PET scan of the whole body and $3,723 for a PET scan of the brain. The Southern Ohio Medical Center charges $4,010 for a PET scan from the base of the skull to the thigh."

Are you intending to buy a bearded dragon because it seems like an easy pet to take care off? Guess what... You Can’t Be Further From The Truth!I’ll be the first to admit that I love these bearded dragons, or beardies as I like to call them. I have kept and bred them for over 10 years, which makes me one of the most recognised authorities when it comes to these little reptiles. But sadly, most people don’t have the same level of knowledge as experts. They buy a bearded dragon from their local pet store and expect it to be as easy to handle as a guppy or terrapin. And they end up making all sorts of terrible mistakes that can seriously harm the well-being of their beloved bearded dragons!To understand why bearded dragons need such special attention and care, it is important to know where they come from. All of the world’s bearded dragons today originated from the wild, outback regions of Australia... which means... Bearded Dragons Are Literally Desert Animals!Now imagine plucking a bearded dragon from its natural habitat in a dry desert, where temperatures can sore well over 90 degrees in the day and drop to under 45 degrees at night... and putting them... In Your Garden!Unless you live in the desert, I doubt your garden has the same kind of conditions... which means you need to “artificially create” an environment that is similar to a beardie’s natural habitat. It’s just not as simple as throwing them in a cage with some food!Here’s where all the problems come in."

"text": "How to Become A Pharmacist Introduction to Pharmacy: Pharmacy is a sub-sector of healthcare that connects the health and chemical sciences. Its major role is distributing pharmaceutical drugs in an organized and regulated manner. Though the number of pharmacy applications represents more orthodox roles such as supplying medicine, it also includes the more contemporary services related to health care, such as reviewing medical drugs for safety and effectiveness, clinical services and providing drug information. Featured Schools Pharmacists are licensed professionals that oversee the process of the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs, both over-the-counter and prescription, to patients and the general public. The primary aim of this profession is to provide patients with a means of accessing FDA approved drugs and other general supplements and medication. The following paragraphs shed more light on how to become a pharmacist. Qualifications in Pharmacy: Traditionally, a Bachelor of Pharmacy was considered the first-professional degree for pharmacy practice. However now all aspiring pharmacists are required to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) through a doctoral program accredited by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). Individuals who who are working towards becoming a pharmacist must complete 2-3 years of study in an undergraduate program in order to enroll in a Doctor of Pharmacy."

"text": "Working in a Hospital Pharmacy Versus a Retail Pharmacy March 7, 2018The majority of pharmacy technicians work in retail pharmacies, but the most coveted pharmacy technician position is often in a hospital pharmacy. There is very good reason for this: hospital pharmacy technicians earn about 20% higher salaries than retail pharmacy technicians. Though their duties are similar, there are some key differences between working in a hospital pharmacy and a retail pharmacy. Many pharmacy technicians begin their career working in a retail pharmacy, but after a few years of experience, they may be hired to work in a hospital pharmacy. Qualifications of Retail Pharmacy Technicians Many retail pharmacy technicians work with no special training or certification. Although a handful of states do require pharmacy technicians to be board certified, the majority do not. The only requirements for becoming a pharmacy technician in most states are a clean background check and a high school diploma or GED. Many employers will give a basic reading and math test, and if the prospective employee passes, they can be hired. Many retail pharmacies have in-house training programs to teach the pharmacy technician how their systems work. They may or may not include certification in their training programs."

"text": "Walgreen’s Pharmacy technicians are one of the professions that provide job security and stability. They are currently on demand in various health care settings since they can start working even without certification as opposed to pharmacists. For the next five years, pharmacy tech jobs are expected to rise for about 32% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Pharmacy tech programs can be finished for a short period of less than a year. Hereafter, they can immediately find employment. In the United States, there isn’t an existing law yet that prevents fresh pharmacy tech graduates from getting employed. Because of this, pharmacy technicians can start receiving income straightaway. It is different in the case of pharmacists in which they need to pass a board exam (PTCE) to acquire certification before they can practice. Entry-level walgreens pharmacy techs can earn for as much as $19,000 a year, ranging from $10 to $17 an hour. As they gain experience, their pay can amount to as much as $25,000 to $35,000 a year depending on the industry and the years of experience."

It is a health profession that links health sciences with chemical sciences and aims to ensure the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing medications, and it also includes more modern services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are the experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize use of medication for the benefit of the patients. An establishment in which pharmacy (in the first sense) is practiced is called a pharmacy (this term is more common in the United States) or a chemist's (which is more common in Great Britain). In the United States and Canada, drugstores commonly sell medicines, as well as miscellaneous items such as confectionery, cosmetics, office supplies, toys, hair care products and magazines and occasionally refreshments and groceries. In its investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients, the work of the pharma may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences of chemistry and pharmacology, prior to the formulation of the scientific method.

In hospitals and nursing homes, technicians will prepare medications based on a patient's chart. The medications are checked by a pharmacist before delivery. While there are no formal federal training guidelines, school generally includes about 240 hours of combined classroom and clinical work that may be implemented at a community college or vocational school. Typical costs: Community colleges often offer degree or certificates for pharmacy technicians. Because funding for community colleges varies by state, the cost for the same program can run about $460-$4,260 for residents. Austin Community College District [ 2] in Texas offers the program for $1,750 for residents or $3,930 for students from out of the district, while North Seattle Community College charges local students $2,880 for the nine-month course.

"text": "By Anitra Brown Updated 10/20/17Share Pin Email•••Photofacial is a term for a skin treatment that uses some kind of light-based technology, primarily for boosting collagen, treating brown spots, and diminishing broken capillaries. Other names for photofacials are foto facials, facial rejuvenation and photo rejuvenation. Usually, a photofacial means an IPL (intense-pulsed light) treatment at a medical spa or a results-driven day spa like New York City's Euphoria in Soho, which does excellent IPL photofacials. An IPL photofacial can treat a variety of skin conditions such as brown spots, broken capillaries, spider veins, and facial redness. An IPL photofacial delivers a bright blast of light at very high energy levels through a hand-held device. While some IPLs have cooling devices, it can be uncomfortable, even painful. An IPL photo facial is a good choice if you have a number of different goals: plumper, younger-looking skin, faded brown spots, fewer broken capillaries and less overall redness, called diffused facial redness. The number of IPL photo facials you need will vary depending on the condition you're treating, the results you want, and how your skin responds. Photo facials work best in conjunction with a regular skin care routine that you develop with your esthetician. Some spas that have LED (light-emitting diode) equipment."

"text": "How Much Money Can I Make as a Laser Technician? This is probably the most common question we get asked. In this booming and ever-changing industry there are new and exciting technologies coming out every year. The more well-rounded you are in your skill set, the more attractive you are in this marketplace. Remember that though Laser Hair Removal is the most sought after procedure, if your prospective employer knows you are proficient in Photofacials, Wrinkle Reduction, Tattoo Removal, etc. you are a far more valuable employee, thus your potential for salary will be much higher. Do I need to be an aesthetician to do laser? A few examples of different pay structures we see in this industry: Working for a Medical Spa, Day Spa or Physicians Office These are possible scenarios that we commonly see:• The 1st and most common is a “blend” of an hourly rate plus a commission. We have seen the hourly rates range from $12hr to $25hr and in addition pay a commission ranging from 10%-25%.• The 2nd one is a commission only rate which could range from as low as 20% to as high as 40%.• The 3rd is negotiating a fixed hourly rate. So now you ask yourself, “Well this is great, but what does that mean to me on a dollars and cents basis?”Assumptions To Determine Your Earning Power:• Average hour of laser hair removal is about $150+.• Average hour of IPL photo facial is about $350.• If in a 8 hour day you did 5 “laser” hours and 3 photo facial hours based on above rates your “revenue” for that day would be 5 x 150 (750) + 3 x 350 (1050) = $1800 per day.• If your “rate” was a fixed 25% commission with no base salary you would make $1800 times 25% or $450 day x 5 days week = $2250x 4.2 weeks per month $ 9450 month or 113, 400 a year.• If your rate was $15hr plus 10% commission $1800 times 10% = $180 day plus 15hr x 8hours = $120 for total of $300 day or $1500 week times 4.2 weeks = $6300 month or $75,600 a year."

"text": "\"updated September 6, 2017Say goodbye to the effects of sun damage, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and more. With the innovative Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) photofacial/ fotofacial procedure, gentle skin rejuvenation is now easier than ever. IPL™ photorejuvenation is the latest in modern dermatology, allowing patients to transform red, blotchy skin into a radiant complexion. If you suffer from any of these problems, photofacial/fotofacial treatments may be the dermatological approach you've been looking for. What Is IPL™ Photofacial/Fotofacial? A photofacial, or “fotofacial,” is a 30-minute procedure in which intense pulses of light are used to penetrate deep into the skin. IPL™ photorejuvenation then causes collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing redness and age lines. The procedure involves only minimal discomfort, while the redness and swelling that sometimes occur after treatment disappear shortly. Most benefits of a photofacial/fotofacial occur gradually in the weeks following treatment. For even greater cosmetic enhancement, patients may also opt for a Foto Facial RF™, a procedure that combines radio waves with light waves to achieve excellent results."

It is injected very precisely using an ultra fine needle into several locations on the face. Botox® blocks the impulses from the nerve to some of the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines thus relaxing the targeted muscles so they do not contract, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing for normal facial movement and expression. Botox®, may also be used to block the signal from nerves to sweat glands in patients with excessive sweat production.

As Kristine Colman, dermal therapist for Vitruvius Divine Cosmetic Clinics in Victoria says, “This shift is due to the fact that we are very conscious of the UV damage that the generation before us has, and we are now very mindful of the underlying heath risks associated with UV rays. ”So what products really work? And what ingredients should we look out for? We thought we’d help you narrow it down. What causes uneven skin tone? The main causes of uneven skin tone are hyperpigmentation, sun spots, hormones and discolouration due to acne scarring. An excess of melanin or pigment in the skin due to sun exposure creates freckles and eventually, isolated dark spots. Women also tend to develop dark spots from taking the contraceptive pill or due to hormone fluctuations during pregnancy. Your skin can also sustain damage cumulatively, from exposure to pollution and other environmental factors."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 1:45Every year, millions of patients complain of skin problems including fine lines and wrinkles, persistent red complexion caused by broken capillaries or rosacea, brown/sun spots, sun-induced freckles, acne scars, large pores and other blemishes. Various treatments, including microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser resurfacing have been used to improve these conditions. IPL/Intense pulsed light is a new, non-ablative technique to treat the above conditions and is also called photorejuvenation. IPL technology can be used to help restore the skin’s youthful appearance. IPL is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects. How does IPL (Photofacial) work? The IPL treatment delivers high intensity pulses of broadband light that is different from the narrow band light of lasers. IPL, which stands for intensed pulsed light, is non-ablative, meaning it does not damage the surface of the skin. The intense light is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (dermis) and leaves the superficial aspect of the skin (epidermis) untouched."

"text": "By Anitra Brown Updated 10/20/17Share Pin Email•••Photofacial is a term for a skin treatment that uses some kind of light-based technology, primarily for boosting collagen, treating brown spots, and diminishing broken capillaries. Other names for photofacials are foto facials, facial rejuvenation and photo rejuvenation. Usually, a photofacial means an IPL (intense-pulsed light) treatment at a medical spa or a results-driven day spa like New York City's Euphoria in Soho, which does excellent IPL photofacials. An IPL photofacial can treat a variety of skin conditions such as brown spots, broken capillaries, spider veins, and facial redness. An IPL photofacial delivers a bright blast of light at very high energy levels through a hand-held device. While some IPLs have cooling devices, it can be uncomfortable, even painful. An IPL photo facial is a good choice if you have a number of different goals: plumper, younger-looking skin, faded brown spots, fewer broken capillaries and less overall redness, called diffused facial redness. The number of IPL photo facials you need will vary depending on the condition you're treating, the results you want, and how your skin responds. Photo facials work best in conjunction with a regular skin care routine that you develop with your esthetician. Some spas that have LED (light-emitting diode) equipment."

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) also known as photo-facials, fotofacials, and photo rejuvenation is a state-of-the-art system and the latest technique in skin rejuvenation therapy The IPL system delivers high intensity, smooth and powerful pulses of light (not lasers) that greatly enhances the results of your improvement IPL stimulates new collagen growth resulting in smoother, more even, healthier skin How Does it Work? A highly advanced computer regulates the light pulse to a specific wavelength range, which in turn heats a portion of the skin This removes the unwanted tissue while it spares or avoids the surrounding healthy or “normal” tissue The penetration depth and degree of heat is highly controlled to minimize complications With IPL fotofacial rejuvenation, the light pulses are directed at the blood vessels, age spots, freckles, flat pigmented birthmarks and other types of discolorations An additional bonus is that the treatment causes inflammation of tiny blood vessels in the skin which stimulates the production of new collagen The number of treatments necessary to achieve this result varies from patient to patient How is the IPL Photo rejuvenation different from CO2 or Erbium Laser Resurfacing? IPL photo rejuvenation is a non-invasive, safe method to improve the look and feel of the skin without undergoing the pain and downtime associated with deep laser resurfacing Deep laser resurfacing removes the entire epidermis leaving the skin vulnerable to infection and requires 3-4 weeks of patient downtime and an even longer time to complete healing IPL is a much more gentle method of skin rejuvenation Can the benefits of IPL be boosted by combining it with other treatments? Yes. We also combine Fotofacials with Levulan in a procedure called Photodynamic Skin Rejuvenation A medication called Levulan is applied to the skin Levulan makes the skin more sensitive to the effects of the IPLThis is the ideal treatment for moderate to severely sun-damaged skin If you have pre-cancerous skin lesions (Actinic Keratoses), this is an excellent way to improve your skin Who is a Good Candidate? IPL is an excellent choice for women and men of all ages considering treatment for various skin problems including: Brown or age spots Facial spider veins Rosacea Abnormal Skin pigmentation Are there any tests to see if a person is a good candidate for IPL treatments? Yes A simple non-invasive Wood’s Lamp Test can demonstrate areas of sun damage that are not visible to the naked eye The Wood’s Lamp Test is not used to identify skin cancer, but can identify sun damage which is a risk factor for skin cancer To learn more about the Wood’s Lamp Test, please click here.

What Is Microdermabrasion ? Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion also encourages the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin, which further improves your skin’s appearance. Microdermabrasion is much gentler than dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is a more intensive procedure used to treat deeper facial lines, extreme sun damage, and scars.

Later in life, though, extra facial pigmentation — in the form of brown patches or changes in tone and texture — sends a different, less adorable message: You're aging. Do people really notice each other's complexions that much? Apparently, yes. A 2006 Procter & Gamble Beauty study found that skin tone alone can impact a woman's perceived age — by as much as 20 years. So perhaps it's time to consider the slew of effective age spot treatments now available (some of them medical, some over-the-counter) that can deliver real, noticeable results. Why do we get these spots, anyway? Surprise: Age spots aren't caused by getting older.

IPL Photofacial involves a non-ablative laser that has been carefully calibrated to seek out specific pigments in the skin - redness, darker discolored patches or dark spots from acne scarring. The actual IPL Photofacial procedure feels like the mild snapping of rubber bands against the skin's surface. With each snap, the IPL Photofacial penetrates deep below the skin's surface to treat the issues at the source. For successful elimination of redness, sun spots and old acne scars, a patient will likely require multiple IPL Photofacial treatments .

Several skin care products have shown to be effective in skin brightening and combination treatments with lasers are also effective to even out skin tones. High pigmentation spots such as moles and birthmarks can require the area to be depigmented to match the surrounding skin and in cases of vitiligo, the unaffected skin may be lightened to match the vitiligo spots and give the skin a more even tone.

Many treatments use a combination of topical lotions or gels containing melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen, and a prescription retinoid such as tretinoin.

Photofacial (aka fotofacial or photo facial) treatments center around the patented Florescent Pulsed Light system, which penetrates deep below the skin's surface to help start the production of new collagen and other connective tissues. This process leaves the skin rejuvenated and smooth, starting from the very first treatment. The typical IPL Photofacial treatment lasts about 30 minutes, and they are typically scheduled across three week intervals. Most patients need between 5-8 total treatments to get the best results. The actual Photofacial session itself can be somewhat painful for some, as the feeling of the laser beam on the skin is usually akin to that of a snapped rubber band. However, the pain usually subsides very quickly after treatment, as is rarely anything more than mild.

S. rely on an independent front suspension? The 4×4 experts at American Expedition Vehicles have the solution to your dilemma. Inspired by its old Wrangler TJ-based two-door pickup, AEV built the Brute Double Cab, a four-door JK with a factory-quality pickup bed. ( If you already have a JK Unlimited, the Brute will be available as a professional conversion, too.) AEV was kind enough to bring us to Moab, Utah, during the Easter Jeep Safari to drive its vehicles and take a spin in the Brute Double Cab. When comparing the Brute Double Cab with its TJ-based predecessor, we see notable differences, in addition to those two extra doors. Not only does the new Brute get all the advancements that came along with Jeep ‘s JK generational update — new engine, transmission, interior, and more — but the Double Cab has different DNA from that of its two-door, TJ-based older sibling. Instead of a steel pickup box like the original Brute’s, the new Double Cab uses a composite bed that weighs 140 pounds less than the steel bed, allowing the new Brute to tip the scales at about the same weight as a stock Wrangler Unlimited. ( That is, if you can resist the optional 6.4-liter Hemi swap and optional Dynatrac axles.) The pickup bed is made with a high-tech injection-molded composite of honeycomb core, S-glass (the strongest fiberglass available), some aluminum parts, carbon pieces, and even Kevlar."

"text": "Towing Tow Vehicles Half-Ton Towing: Fact or Fiction? By by Chris Hemer - November 24, 2014The 2015 Chevy Silverado is available with a gvwr of up to 7,600 pounds, a gawr of 4,300 pounds and a tow rating of up to 12,000 pounds. based on the SAE J2807 standard. It depends on the fifth-wheel and how the truck is equipped So-called half-ton-towable fifth-wheels are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons. The most obvious, of course, is that a half-ton (150 or 1500 series) pickup is less expensive than a comparably equipped HD truck and consumes less fuel. A lighter duty truck is also smaller and usually rides better as well, which becomes important when driving solo. And while a lot of folks like the towing stability a fifth-wheel provides, they don’t necessarily want a big trailer, so a bigger truck just doesn’t make sense. Owing in part to its new aluminum body that has reduced weight by 700 pounds, the 2015 Ford F-150 can tow up to 12,200 pounds and has a payload of up to 3,300 pounds. But is this new breed of lightweight fifth-wheel really towable by half-ton trucks? We’ve had quite a few of our readers debate that point in recent months, and a few have felt that we are helping to perpetuate the half-ton fifth-wheel myth."

The real meaning of \"\"half-ton\"\" pickup, for instance, eludes some automotive folks, let alone first-time truck buyers.

"text": "Design of Pile Caps10.1 Introduction A pile cap is defined as a concrete block cast on the head of a group of piles, to transmit the load from the structure to the group of piles. Generally, pile cap transfers the load form the structures to a pile group, then the load further transfers to firm soil. External pressures on a pile are likely to be greatest near the ground surface. Ground stability increases with depth and pressure. The top of the pile therefore, is more vulnerable to movement and stress than the base of the pile. Pile caps are thus incorporated in order to tie the pile heads together so that individual pile movement and settlement is greatly reduced. Thus stability of the pile group is greatly increased. The functions of a pile cap are: 1. To distribute a single load equally over the pile group and thus over a greater area of bearing potential, 2. To laterally stabilise individual piles thus increasing overall stability of the group."

Mice and rats are common, but large snakes can eat big mammals, whole of course. The feces of carnivores tend to be somewhat mushy, because there's not a whole lot of plant fiber.

In 1964 it was named “one of the seven engineering wonders of the modern world. ”Ferry rides and choppy waves Without the bridge-tunnel, your parents would have to drive hundreds of miles to get from Virginia’s Eastern Shore to the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area."

"text": "\"Description FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a method for the stabilization and repair of existing docks and seawalls by the injection of a polymeric foam mixture into and behind seawalls. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe never ending erosive effect of waves, tides and storms on docks, piers and shorelines has given rise to numerous methods of structure and reinforcement. Along the many miles of \"\"waterfront\"\" property now common in the coastal areas of the United States and other parts of the world, many types of structures have been used to contain and keep the land from slipping into the sea, and also provide a suitable pier for the mooring of boats and watercraft. Among the most common structure used is a continuous seawall made of sheetpile, which sheetpile is either concrete or wooden panels. These panels normally extend one to two feet below the existing water/sea-bed at the time of original installation. This type of seawall is normally topped with a continuous concrete pile cap which secures the top of the sheetpile, provides a usable walking surface and also is used as an anchor point and horizontal structural member for a metallic tie-back rod on the landside of the seawall. With one end anchored in the pile cap, the land end of the tie back rod is secured in a concrete thrust block which is buried. This type of seawall is normally reinforced on the inland side of the sheetpile with backfill material such as rip-rap, limestone or other rock and sand packing. This backfill material is then covered with grass sod to give a usable attractive surface. Over a period of time, cracks will develop where the sheetpile panels abut and tidal surges and wave action will filter through the seawall and begin to scour the backfill material behind the seawall and wash away the sand and fines packed around the rip-rap, limestone or other rock in the backfill material."

"text": "\"HOME — Strategies/Tactics Isle of Conquest strategies Much like Alterac Valley, IOC is not about capping things so much as killing the enemy and getting to their boss. The two bosses are located inside their fortresses which are enclosed in gated walls. ( This prevents the \"\" blitz \"\" strategy that works so well in AV. ) Bosses have guards, but these are not particularly hard to kill. A large enough group does not need a formal tank. Just send in the melee and then have ranged open fire. With a few healers working, you should have little problem. The basic strategy for IOC is simple: control two of the three offensive resources and defend against the third. The resources are: demolishers from the workshop, glaives from the docks, and paratroops from the hangar. Docks also has catapults, which allow your players to fly over the wall into the enemy fort ... from there they can run bombs."

Today’s seawalls are installed with a wide range of materials and costs depending on the contractor, exposure and armoring requirements of the property. For vinyl seawalls, Land And Sea Marine uses Shoreguard™ vinyl sheet piles in conjunction with a wood boardwalk, vinyl boardwalk, aluminum or concrete cap installation. Shoreguard™ vinyl sheet pilings carry a 50 year manufacturer warranty. All tie back rods and fastening hardware are stainless steel. Vinyl seawalls are the ideal solution for exposure to heavy salt water or wood boring organisms, and are an excellent solution for both commercial and residential shoreline armoring requirements. This is a replacement seawall installed in front of the existing wall on the Indian River Backfill is installed and compacted with a water jet Optional coquina rock riprap is installed for additional armoring, as well as providing natural habitat This new vinyl seawall was installed in front of the existing seawall. This is an effective method where close proximities to the living structure prevent removal of the existing seawall, the process reduces the impact to the property of removal of the old seawall, and eliminates the cost of demolition as well. This new vinyl seawall on a canal front home in Melbourne Beach was also installed in front of the existing seawall and features a vinyl boardwalk cap with Gossen™ vinyl decking. A vinyl boardwalk cap is a great looking and affordable alternative to a concrete cap and has a superior lifespan compared to a wood cap."

With thousands of bridges in New York State deemed structurally deficient, there are two choices: repair or rebuild. The 60-year-old Tappan Zee Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge are the latest examples. By Melanie Burford and Greg Moyer on September 18, 2014. Photo by Ángel Franco/The New York Times. Watch in Times Video »embed TARRYTOWN, N. Y. — The shape of the new Tappan Zee Bridge is emerging from the green-gray waters of the Hudson River. Steel piles drilled into the river’s muck and bedrock are beginning to reveal the trail the bridge will take to leap the three miles that separate Westchester and Rockland Counties. The Erector Set-like skeleton of the first of 86 pairs of columns that will support the twin-spanned bridge rises 40 feet in the air near the Westchester side, waiting to be entombed in concrete that will be poured from an inventive floating concrete plant. “It looks like a fish after the meat has been removed” is the way Darrell Waters, president of Tappan Zee Constructors, the consortium building the bridge for the New York State Thruway Authority, describes it."

He instead sent me a Brand New Piranha for FREE before I even sent him my old one, just so I would not be with out one, and because I had over a million miles on it! By the time I took the old 5-80 off the Semi, I had 1 million 61,487 miles on it and still working! I started having a problem about a month ago when I would get into heavy rain and snow. That is a lot of use with out a problem! I looked at other Antenna's, but the prices ranged from $669.00 + mount, to more for 10-160 for a 3\"\" Tar-heel that would change height to $858.00 3\"\" Scorpio that still would change height and has a seal that will go up and down the out side of the coil tube. That means I would have to clean the out side of the tube whenever it may have collected any dirt. The other thing I did not like is when the Antenna changes height what happens when I get into freezing rain or Ice? I would have to stop and tap the side of the coil tube to break it off so I could change bands and take a chance on putting a dent or something in it. The High-Q stays the same height and is all sealed inside to keep it Clean. I decided to stay with the Hi-Q and that is when I called Charlie and let me tell you I am glad I did! He not only stands behind his product, he went beyond and sent me a new one for free. I have now had this Antenna on for 2 weeks and it is out performing my old Hi-Q ant with out a doubt! I have worked (north west coast of England in a pile up to a gentle man walking down the beach pulling a wagon he called it a trolly with battery's radio and 1/4 wave ant with a cap hat to in a pile up, to working Germany and Italy,France,Tazmania,New Zealand, Africa,Austria, Wales, and many others on 100 Watts Mobile, in pile ups and getting through, with people asking me what kind of Amp I am running! NONE! In summary for $550.00 which is cheaper then the other antennas and to me better built and will run 10-160,and does not depend on changing height, and is sealed better. I have had this one on all bands and works GREAT! My contacts have been made mainly at night and in the early morning hours. I am looking forward to another Millions miles of trouble free service! Charlie I can't thank you enough. I have 2 other ham's that drive for me and will be ordering from Charlie! In Three month's I will write more on this Antenna and how it is working out. I will be parking my Truck at field Day this year and using the Piranha as one of the Antennas, so others can see how well it works. I have run BB3's and other screw driver Antennas and this is the Best!

This was alright, BUT still not fast enough for ALE.Further development has led to the NEW RT (Rapid Tuning) Hi-Q HF antenna where great improvement in FRICTION and WEIGHT reduction of the Hi-Q Patented loading coil design. By employing Silver plated BRASS balls and Silver plated loading coil wire the combined friction and contactor weightHas resulted in a 400% reduction in friction and allowing a size 17 stepper motor to do the Rapid Tuning.The controller used for the RT antenna was developed for the Hi-Q Military Antennas by QCI, it now tunes ...From 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz in 700 milliseconds!However the Radio Frequency Propagation does not require an antenna to be tuned from 1.8-30 MHz normally, it is more standard that one change frequency in smaller blocks keeping up with the Day-Night propagation. Being aware of this we make to loading coil contactor to be in the MIDDLE of tunable coil, therefore cutting the tuning speed to HALF! Further to this now one can achieve very fast tuning, for example: Antenna currently tuned to 10 MHz and need to go to 14 MHz the tuning time is 40 ms!Software developed to remotely tune the frequency range from 1.8-30 MHz allows having over 500Channels (frequencies) in addition there is 10 channels can be dedicated to discreet frequencies that are NOT accessible to the radio operator to change, Only to the radio shop technician.The RT antenna is now available, supplied with the NEW stepper motor, QCI controller and software that runs on Windows 7.Charles M.

I am the QSL manager for YI9WV, Kitch, deployed near Fallujah, Iraq. I wanted to give you an update on Kitch's activities with your antenna. He has been using the TAD exclusively for some time now. His QSO total is over 6000 as I write this and the majority of these are using your antenna and 100 watts of power. Since putting up the TAD his total Qs has increased dramatically. He is/was quite surprised at the ability of the antenna to \"\"hear\"\" as well as it does. He has worked stations on all bands from 80 to 15 meters, with a few contacts on 10 meters, as well. Kitch has continued to work about 90% CW, with some PSK31 in the log also. The large majority of entries in his log are Europeans, but he has had some nice openings to North and South America on most bands, including many US stations working him on 40 meters. I am attaching a couple of pictures of his antenna setup at the \"\"margarita hooch\"\" as he calls it. This is his operating location when he is in camp, but he operates from outside the camp location with no difficulty by carrying his equipment, including the TAD, in a gun case. Thanks for making such a fine antenna for portable use. If it were not for the TAD, Kitch could still operate, but it would be much more difficult for him to get everything set up to go. Your antenna makes it very easy for him to get on the air quickly and with a minimum of effort in assembling his station.

It may also include larger particles of liquid water or ice as well as non-aqueous or solid particles such as those present in fumes, smoke or dust. Principles of cloud classification: clouds are continuously in a process of evolution and appear, therefore, in a infinite variety of forms. It is possible, however, to define a limited number of characteristic forms, frequently observed all over the world, into which clouds can be broadly grouped. A classification of the characteristic forms of clouds, in terms of \"\"genera\"\", \"\"species\"\", and \"\"varieties\"\" has been established. Definitions and descriptions of each of the characteristic forms corresponding to this classification are given in the list below. Intermediate or transitional forms, although observed fairly frequently, are not described; they are of little intrest, as they are less stable and as their appearance is not very different from that indicated in the definitions of the characteristic forms. Finally, there exists a group of clouds, rarely or occassionally observed, not included in this classification. Some of these so called \"\"special clouds\"\" consists for the greater part or in their entirety of non-aqueous liquid or solid particles. The above mentioned definition of a cloud is therefore not applicable to all special clouds."

The carpet on stairs is rarely installed in one single piece, and the calculations require great attention to detail. Unless your home is custom built, stairs fall within general size standards. Keep in mind that building codes vary from region to region, so you may encounter sizes slightly different than those mentioned below. Be sure to measure carefully!Stairs come in different shapes, sizes, and configurations. Here are the different types of stairs typically found in a home: Box Stair A box stair is straight, has no railing posts, and is closed in on all sides. It is typically approximately 3' wide. The usual allowance for the tread (the flat part you step on) is 10\"\", and 8\"\" for the riser (the back of the stair). Therefore, for every box stair, you require 3' (or the width of your stair) x 18\"\" of carpet. Cap Stair A stair that has one open side with railing posts on it is known as a cap stair."

"text": "» Home » Conditions Disabilities » Neurological Disorders »What Does a Pinched Nerve Feel Like? By Stan Tian | Neurological Disorders | Rating: Explaining exactly what a pinched nerve feels like is not a simple task. There are many nerves within the human body, all working to send messages to and from the brain, performing our motor functions and sending sensory information for processing. We have nerves in our hands, feet, neck, back, elbows and almost everywhere else, so depending on what nerve gets trapped, the symptoms will differ. A trapped nerve usually happens when an injury occurs or there is a major change in the body, such as the one experienced during pregnancy. Swelling around a nerve can cause it to become compressed, as can collapsed muscles from long term damage (as seen with carpal tunnel syndrome). When a nerve becomes compressed, or pinched, it can no longer send messages to and from the brain and body as efficiently as it could, causing a range of possible side effects. The main symptom that people complain of when they have a pinched nerve is pain. Our nerves are very sensitive and one becoming pinched sends messages to our brain that essentially say 'ouch'. The pain doesn't necessarily manifest itself at the immediate sight of compression, however."

"text": "\"Advertisement As you get older, your body may start to let you down a little. Your muscles become slightly weaker, your joints ache, your bones become more brittle, and you may even become clumsier. It’s never particularly fun to injure yourself, but as you get older, it takes longer and longer for your body to heal from an injury. One common injury people experience as they age is a pinched nerve. People have nerves throughout their entire bodies, but once in a while those nerves can become pinched — it’s painful and uncomfortable, but there’s often simple treatments for them. Web MD explains, “Nerves extend from your brain to your spinal cord, sending important messages throughout your body. If you have a pinched nerve (nerve compression) your body may send you warning signals such as pain… Damage from a pinched nerve may be minor or severe. It may cause temporary or long-lasting problems. The earlier you get a diagnosis and treatment for nerve compression, the more quickly you’ll find relief. In some cases you can’t reverse the damage from a pinched nerve."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Pain Pain Management What would cause sharp pains that radiate down arm after a shoulder injury? Flag What would cause sharp pains that radiate down arm after a shoulder injury? Answer by TSD -RAVEN- Confidence votes 21.8KIf the pain radiates to the fingers (typically the ring and pinky fingers) and can be felt down the nerve path (typical of sharp pains) from the shoulder down the arm, then the problem is likely in the Cervical spine and not the shoulder. Few people realize that the nerves which control the arms run from the cervical spine through the shoulder and into the arms and hands. The problem feels like it's a pinched nerve in the shoulder, but the pain radiates down the nerve path, usually on the outside of the bicep then down the inner part of the arm to the hand. You usually don't feel much, if anything, in the neck unless the disk injury is severe enough. The only way to determine a cervical disk problem is to see a Neurosurgeon, and imaging of the cervical spine (CT or MRI) are taken. This is a problem they deal with every day, and most can tell just by looking at you without an exam if the injury is severe enough. It's important not to waste any time either - left untreated or undiagnosed, the problem will cause increasing pain to the point where your fingers will begin to go numb and the use of the arm is severely restricted within a matter of weeks. Limiting physical activity is important as well, as further injury can cause permanent damage."

Although they sometimes heal on their own, pinched nerves can cause significant disability and sometimes even permanent nerve damage when left untreated. Determining how many people actually have pinched nerves is very difficult, since many people report symptoms that could be caused by another injury, and some people don’t experience any symptoms at all. Many different factors can contribute to a pinched nerve, including past injuries, someone’s level of exercise, age, gender and bodyweight. While there isn’t just one single cause of pinched nerves, prevention seems to be very important. Conventional methods of treating pinched nerves usually include medications and surgery. However, research shows that non-surgical, more conservative treatments, including physical therapy, exercise, chiropractic adjustments, supplements and rest, can also greatly help reduce pinched nerve pain. What Is a Pinched Nerve? Pinched nerves (also called compressed nerves) are deep root nerves that have become inflamed and irritated due to experiencing an abnormal amount of pressure. Pressure can accumulate around a deep root nerve from surrounding tissues, bones, cartilage, muscles or tendons that protrude outward or are damaged due to an injury or inflammatory condition. ("

"text": "\"I have a pinched nerve in my neck causing pain in shoulder and arm with tingling down my right arm. What treatments would you advise? Sung C. Cho (Torrance, CA) on Oct 10, 2014 1 user found this answer helpful You may have a dislocation of the cervical spine or a pinched nerve on the right side due to muscle tension. In this case, acupuncture is recommended to get the dislocation or tension back to normal. Acupuncture needles are inserted into the cervical spine (don't worry, it doesn't hurt) or trigger points on the muscle. Conditions like these are often treated through acupuncture. Richard Bartlett (Lansing, MI) on Oct 10, 2014This usually indicates that the brachial plexus, the nerve bundle that passes under the collar bone, is impinged either where it exits the spine, or more likely, in the muscle. Deep tissue massage, possibly with some heat/cold therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs from your doctor, could help relieve this. You may want to have your spine checked out if you suspect spinal injury or degenerative problems. Betty Humphrey (Harrisonburg, VA) on Oct 10, 2014I would absolutely suggest looking into chiropractic treatment, along with stretches and massage, to alleviate your condition."

Dear Chiropractors, add your practice to our Directory A characteristic finding is the so called shoulder abduction relief sign. Raising the limb above your head brings a measure of relief as it takes the stretch off the nerve.

The definitive examination for a pinched nerve is called the upper limb tension test; see the video lower down showing you how to discover if you have an irritated root that is causing causing the ache. Neck problems are a common reason why people visit their chiropractor. Typically it doesn't start from a single injury, though it may; a car accident or a fall from a horse, for example."

"text": "Wrist/Forearm Pain Our wrist is made up of 8 small bones (carpal bones). These bones are held together by ligaments. In addition to the many small muscles in your hand, nerves, tendons and blood vessels pass through the wrist to supply your hand. The nerves for your arm and wrist leave your spinal cord at your cervical spine (your neck). Compression of the nerves any where along their course can cause pain/tingeing/numbness/burning. You can strain or sprain the ligaments or muscles from a sudden movement, improper movement, or through over use. Compression of the nerves as they leave the spine at the neck (Cervical Radiculopathy) or as they leave the chest (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) can cause symptoms any where in the arm Both of these conditions can fool you because pain is felt in the arm/wrist/hand but not in the neck.

Doctor says its not from pinched neck nerve but I think it is because all these symptoms happened at once after I had a weird temple headache that lasted 2 weeks. Then came weird twitching. Doctors say that a pinched nerve in the neck can not cause facial numbness or scalp tingling or even muscle twitches. I don't even know how I got this injured. I'm only in my mid twenties!!! I have read on some sites it can and some sites it can not because the neck controls the arms, and shoulders. The pinched nerve in my back causes feet numbness and leg spasms."

Like other species in the weasel family, the male and female are different sizes. The female is about three-fourths the size of the male. The female pine marten measures about 18-22 inches and stands about 6 inches high. Females weigh in at 1.5-1.8 pounds and males at 1.6-2.8 pounds. Their fur is soft and thick, varying in color from pale buff or yellow to reddish or dark brown. Their throats are pale buff with black tails and legs. Two vertical black lines run above the inner corners of their eyes. In winter, long hairs grow between the toe pads on their feet, similar to the snowshoe hare. Thick fur helps keep their feet warm and helps them travel long distances on snow."

The ecology of the Rocky Mountains is diverse due to the effects of a variety of environmental factors. The Rocky Mountains are the major mountain range in western North America, running from the far north of British Columbia in Canada to New Mexico in the southwestern United States, climbing from the Great Plains at or below 1,800 feet (550 m) to peaks of over 14,000 feet (4,300 m). Temperature and rainfall varies greatly also and thus the Rockies are home to a mixture of habitats including the alpine, subalpine and boreal habitats of the Northern Rocky Mountains in British Columbia and Alberta, the coniferous forests of Montana and Idaho, the wetlands and prairie where the Rockies meet the plains, a different mix of conifers on the Yellowstone Plateau in Wyoming and in the high Rockies of Colorado and New Mexico, and finally the alpine tundra of the highest elevations. These habitats are home to a great deal of wildlife from herbivores, such as elk, moose, mule deer, mountain goat and bighorn sheep, to predators like cougar, Canada lynx, bobcat, black bear, grizzly bear, gray wolf, coyote, and wolverine, along with a great variety of small mammals, fish, reptiles and amphibians, numerous bird species, and tens of thousands of species of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates and soil organisms. [ 1]Permanent human settlement of the Rocky Mountains has caused numerous species to decline in population, including species of trout, birds, and sheep. Gray wolves and grizzly bears were completely eliminated from the United States portion of the range, but are returning due to conservation measures. The population of black bears in the Rocky Mountains is neither dramatically increasing nor decreasing.

All of this wilderness is located in Utah and is managed by the Forest Service. Description Located in northeastern Utah, the Uinta Mountains were named for the Uintaat Indians, early relatives of the modern Ute Tribe. The High Uintas Wilderness envelops the wild core of this massive mountain range. Characterized by the highest peaks in Utah, countless lakes, and a unique alpine ecosystem, it is among the nation's most outstanding wilderness areas. The High Uintas Wilderness is administered jointly by the Ashley and Wasatch-Cache National Forests. The Uinta Mountains were carved by glaciers from an immense uplift of Precambrian rock. Some of this rock is exposed as colorful quartzite and shales. The main crest of the Uinta Mountains runs west to east for more than 60 miles, rising over 6,000 feet above the Wyoming and Uinta Basins to the north and south. Massive secondary ridges extend north and south from the crest of the range, framing glacial basins and canyons far below."

Trees are essential due to their arboreal lifestyles, though they also forage on the ground. High levels of biodiversity are important so they can enjoy varied diets. Eurasian jays store and eat acorns, so oak trees are important features of their habitat. Deciduous oak forests are preferred for foraging, but coniferous forests provide the best nesting places. Eurasian jays do not like open areas and will avoid entering them if possible. They are most vulnerable to predators in open areas. ( Goodwin, 1951; Hougner, et al.,"

All of these, except the marten, are common to abundant throughout most of New Hampshire, but most of us can count on our hands the number of times we have seen any one of them. They may be abundant, but are scarce to our view. Two species, the ermine and long-tailed weasel, disappear nearly completely in winter by turning white as snow! If you can spot any weasel, then you are doing remarkably well!Weasels, by their very nature, keep themselves scarce. Most of them are either most active after dark, or, as in the case of the otter, are active at first light of morning. They leave an abundance of sign in our forests or along our rivers.

"text": "Fishers and Martens: Weasels of the Trees This is the fourth in a series of articles on the nine members of the weasel family that are found in Michigan. More mustelids will be featured in future issues. The mustelids (weasel family) of Michigan include species that occupy a wide variety of habitats. Some scurry across the land, one -- the badger -- is a digger, and otters and mink are at home in ponds and rivers. Two species – the fisher (Martes pemmanti) and pine marten (Martes americana) – move through the trees with the greatest of ease. They are capable of acrobatic catches of prey ranging from mice to birds to squirrels among the limbs of the tallest trees and can kill animals much larger than themselves on the ground. Both species were listed as extirpated in Michigan by the early 1960’s. But the smaller of the two – the pine marten – was written off before its time, and some naturalists suspect that the fisher also survived in small numbers. Valued for its fur, the pine marten was declared by wildlife officials to be gone from Michigan by the 1950’s. Even the authoritative 1983 book, Michigan Mammals by Rollin Baker, parroted statements from other biologists that intensive trapping and loss of habitat had eliminated martens from both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas."

His death sparked a custody battle for his children between his Irish relatives and the stepmother who will stand trial for murder next week, writes Joe Leogue Jason Corbett and Molly Martens in 2009. She will stand trial for his murder next week, alongside her father, a retired FBI agent. At 3.04am on August 2, 2015 emergency operators in North Carolina received a 911 call from a large four-bedroom home set on a half-acre site on Panther Creek, a quiet cul-de-sac in suburban Davidson County. “My daughter’s husband, my son-in-law, got in a fight with my daughter. I intervened and I think… he’s in bad shape. We need help,” the 65-year-old caller told operators. “He’s bleeding all over and I may have killed him.” Thomas Martens told operators he hit his Irish son-in-law Jason Corbett, 39, with a baseball bat."

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the information has become outdated, and will be updated periodically. © 1998-2011 Fur Commission USAFur, or leather with the hair retained, has been used by man for insulation against the cold throughout our history. That’s about 200,000 years. In the late 20th century competition emerged from synthetic fibers made from fossil fuels, marketed under such exotic names as “synchilla” and “eco-fleece”. But with society’s growing understanding of our environment’s fragility, more people are again embracing natural fibers that are renewable and biodegradable. Thus the future of fur looks secure as a key component in dressing modern man and providing us with comfortable protection against the elements. Until the advent of animal agriculture 10,000 years ago, all fur came from the wild. But today, most comes from farms, with mink and fox accounting for about 80%."

"text": "Snowshoe Hare Lepus americanus By John Fraley. Photo by Kerry T. Nickou The snowshoe hare is a four-legged hamburger on the menu of most every mid-sized forest predator that walks or flies. I saw this firsthand one November day in the Great Bear Wilderness while walking up a snow-dusted trail through an open stand of lodgepole pine. Rounding a bend, I was startled to see a snowshoe hare, already in white pelage, sprinting up the trail at me. It raced right past me like I wasn’t even there. As it turned out, I was the hare’s salvation. Down the trail from where the hare had come, I saw a large pine marten hop onto a fallen pine, foiled in its pursuit of supper. A Prey’s Life The hare’s prominent, snowshoelike rear feet leave one of the most recognizable and abundant tracks across Montana’s forested landscape. Often those tracks are of a fleeing hare, like the one I saw running from the marten. Adult snowshoe hares (the name comes from the Old English word for the animal, hara) rely on speed and agility to avoid predators—lynx, coyotes, weasels, owls, ravens, and hawks."

Today, we find the center in spin mode -- trying out a P. R. strategy that's so much of a stretch, it might pop. And we also find ourselves at the heart of what this country's health-care debate should really be focused upon: sky-high costs, as evidenced by one donor's $3,900 hospital bill . . . for two pints of blood. No sale? But first, let's check the spin cycle. Faced with mounting criticism about FBC's spending excess -- on everything from salaries to luxury-hotel stays -- center officials are now claiming they don't benefit by selling blood. In fact, FBC claims it doesn't sell anything. Sure, they may charge hospitals $320 or more for a pint of blood and all of its assorted parts."

A: Quick Answer An average adult man weighing 160 pounds contains one and a quarter gallons of blood, or 10 pints.

Continue Reading Keep Learning How many pints of blood are in the human body on average? How many quarts of blood are in the human body? How much blood does the average adult human have? Full Answer People who weigh less generally carry less blood. Body fat percentage is a major factor in blood volume, as fat contains less blood than muscle; thus, if two people have the same weight, the person who has more fat would actually have a lower blood volume even if he appears to be larger. Gender affects body fat composition in ways that are not entirely known, although sex hormones play a role. Because women are generally shorter and have higher body fat percentages than men, they generally have lower blood volumes."

That is, the fluid has been made up; but it is not advisable to donate blood oftener than once in 4 months, as that time is required for making up the red blood cells in the blood. These cells are actually red in colour due to the haemoglobin content--i.e. the iron. They should be a bright red, not a pale pink (as in anaemic people). In fact, it is this haemoglobin which transports your oxygen to every cell all over your body.

They are extended in size and fuzzy in appearance, and generally show some degree of symmetry. The nebula is illuminated by a central star, which sometimes is too faint to be seen. Although initially grouped with galaxies and star clusters under the class of “nebulae”, we now know that galaxies and star clusters are made up of stars, whereas planetary nebulae are gaseous. Planetary nebulae were discovered by astronomers as early as the 18th century, with four planetary nebulae being included in the catalogue of nebulae by Charles Messier in 1784. The most well known planetary nebula is the Ring Nebula in the constellation of Lyra ( Figure 1 ), which can easily be observed with a small telescope in summer from the Northern hemisphere. The term “planetary nebulae” was coined by William Herschel for their apparent resemblance to the greenish disks of planets such as Uranus and Neptune. This turned out to be an unfortunate misnomer as planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets.

See the spectra of NGC 2440, the Ring Nebula in Lyra, NGC 7009, IC 418, and the original nebular spectrum, that of NGC 6543. Planetary nebulae, some of the loveliest objects in the sky, are complex shells of gas that have been ejected by dying advanced giant stars like Mira. They were discovered as a set and given their collective name by William Herschel in the late 1700s. The story is given in the text for the \"\"first planetary,\"\" NGC 7009. See the table that follows this introduction. The nebulae, which can be over a light year across, are ionized and made to glow by ultraviolet radiation from their central stars, which are the stripped-down old nuclear-burning cores of stars that were once much like the Sun. In effect, the central stars are the precursors of dense white dwarfs that are basically balls of carbon and oxygen, the result of aeons of nuclear fusion. When the outer husks of the giants are finally gone via strong winds, the old cores first heat at constant luminosity (which can be thousands of times that of the Sun) to temperatures that can hit 200,000 Kelvin. See the comments that follow the table below."

They are made by certain types of stars when they die. They are named this because they look like planets through small optical telescopes. [ 1] They do not last for very long compared to a star, only tens of thousands of years. At the end of a normal -sized star's life, in the red giant phase, the outside layers of a star are disposed of. Because the outside is gone, the star shines brightly and is very hot. The ultraviolet radiation given off by the center of the star ionizes the gas and plasma that was thrown out from the star. This is what causes a planetary nebula to look like it does. Planetary nebulae are very special objects because they can help make more stars. When a star dies, the metals that were in the core of the star are sent to other places in the universe."

[ 2] The word \"\"nebula\"\" is Latin for mist or cloud, and the term \"\"planetary nebula\"\" is a misnomer that originated in the 1780s with astronomer William Herschel [ dubious – discuss] because, when viewed through his telescope, these objects resemble the rounded shapes of planets. Herschel's name for these objects was popularly adopted and has not been changed. [ 3] [4] They are a relatively short-lived phenomenon, lasting a few tens of thousands of years, compared to a typical stellar lifetime of several billion years. [ 5]Most planetary nebulae form at the end of the star's life, during the red giant phase, when the outer layers of the star are expelled by strong stellar winds. After most of the red giant's atmosphere is dissipated, the ultraviolet radiation of the hot luminous core, called a planetary nebula nucleus (PNN), ionizes the ejected material. [ 2] Absorbed ultraviolet light energises the shell of nebulous gas around the central star, causing it to appear as a brightly coloured planetary nebula. Planetary nebulae likely play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of the Milky Way by expelling elements to the interstellar medium from stars where those elements were created. Planetary nebulae are observed in more distant galaxies, yielding useful information about their chemical abundances. Starting from the 1990s, Hubble Space Telescope images revealed many planetary nebulae have extremely complex and varied morphologies."

The nearest planetary nebula is the Helix Nebula, at a distance of about [math]714_ {-88}^ {+68} [/math] light-years. It was discovered by the German astronomer Karl Ludwig Harding, around 1824, using an ordinary telescope. Notice that the distances to planetary nebulae are generally hard to determine, so there is some uncertainty about its actual distance. But it is certain that no planetary nebula is closer than the Helix nebula. However, there are other kinds of nebulae and some of these are closer than that: The Pleiades star cluster (Messier 45), at a distance of about [math]444 [/math] light-years, is surrounded by a reflection nebula, a cloud of gas that can be seen because it reflects the light from nearby stars. The nebulosity in Messier 45 was discovered by Charles Messier himself around 1770. There are two other reflection nebulae within the Plejades, both near the star Merope. One of them is the Merope nebula (NGC 1435), probably a supernova remnant."

It is dust and gas and plasma. And It is the dust, gas, and plasma that makes a nebula beautiful. With regards to light source, there are two basic categories of nebula: emission nebula and reflection nebula. Emission nebulae are nebulae in which the ultraviolet light from a star is energizing the gas of the cloud. That causes the cloud to emit light. This is most often evident through emission of the color red, because of the abundance of hydrogen in the cloud. Different substances in the cloud will have different spectral properties."

These outer layers of gas expand into space, forming a nebula which is often the shape of a ring or bubble. About 200 years ago, William Herschel called these spherical clouds planetary nebulae because they were round like the planets.

"text": "\"Formation and evolution of the Solar System From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Solar nebula)navigation search Artist's conception of a protoplanetary disk The formation and evolution of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. [ 1] Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed. This model, known as the nebular hypothesis, was first developed in the 18th century by Emanuel Swedenborg, Immanuel Kant, and Pierre-Simon Laplace. Its subsequent development has interwoven a variety of scientific disciplines including astronomy, physics, geology, and planetary science. Since the dawn of the space age in the 1950s and the discovery of extrasolar planets in the 1990s, the model has been both challenged and refined to account for new observations. The Solar System has evolved considerably since its initial formation. Many moons have formed from circling discs of gas and dust around their parent planets, while other moons are thought to have formed independently and later been captured by their planets. Still others, such as Earth's Moon, may be the result of giant collisions. Collisions between bodies have occurred continually up to the present day and have been central to the evolution of the Solar System. The positions of the planets often shifted due to gravitational interactions. ["

"text": "\"0. In the Beginning... A Summary of Stellar Formation Stars start out as interstellar clouds of gas and dust. If you were inside such a cloud, you probably couldn't tell that there was anything at all there, because the gases which make up the clouds are incredibly thin. Each cubic inch of these clouds contains only a few dozen to a few hundred atoms, while each cubic inch of our atmosphere contains almost a billion trillion atoms. If you had to expand a single cubic inch of our atmosphere until it was as thin as the gases in an interstellar cloud, it would be almost 200 miles on a side. Although the clouds are incredibly rarefied, they are also incredibly big, stretching for trillions of miles in all directions. Because of their huge size, even though there is practically nothing at any given place within them, the huge extent of practically nothing adds up to substantial masses, hundreds of thousands of times greater than the mass of the Earth, like that of the Sun. Because the material of the cloud is spread out over such a huge volume of space, the gravity caused by its mass is incredibly small, and under normal circumstances, it cannot force the cloud to contract to a smaller size. But under some circumstances, the clouds ARE forced to contract to smaller sizes. During such contractions, gravity gradually increases, and if its force becomes large enough, the thin gases within the cloud will not be able to exert enough outward pressure to prevent the gravitational pull from contracting the cloud to still smaller sizes, and so the cloud will continue to contract."

NEBULA A nebula is a cloud of gas (hydrogen) and dust in space. Nebulae are the birthplaces of stars. There are different types of nebula. An Emission Nebula e.g. such as Orion nebula, glows brightly because the gas in it is energised by the stars that have already formed within it. In a Reflection Nebula, starlight reflects on the grains of dust in a nebula. The nebula surrounding the Pleiades Cluster is typical of a reflection nebula. Dark Nebula also exist. These are dense clouds of molecular hydrogen which partially or completely absorb the light from stars behind them e.g. the Horsehead Nebula in Orion. Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf."

"text": "\"Most of the things you can see in the night sky are stars: a few thousand are visible to the unaided eye. A star is a hot ball of mostly hydrogen gas; the Sun is an example of a typical, ordinary star. Gravity keeps the gas from evaporating into space, and pressure due to the star's high temperature and density keeps the ball from shrinking. In the core of the star, the temperature and densities are high enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions, and the energy produced by these reactions works its way to the surface and radiates into space as heat and light. When the fuel for the fusion reactions is depleted, the structure of the star changes. The process of building up heavier elements from lighter ones by nuclear reactions, and adjusting the internal structure to balance gravity and pressure, is called stellar evolution. Looking at a star through a telescope can tell us many of its important properties. The color of a star tells us its temperature, and the temperature depends on some combination of the star's mass and evolutionary phase. Usually, observations also allow us to find the luminosity of the star, or the rate at which it radiates energy as heat and light.

In fact, they've found that butterfly-shaped members of this cosmic family tend to create this strange alignment, which is a surprising result given their different histories and varied properties. When a star like our sun begins to die, it begins to puff out its outer layers into the surrounding reaches of space. This causes objects like planetary nebulae to form in a wide range of beautiful and striking shapes. One type of nebulae is called the bipolar planetary nebulae, which create ghostly hourglass or butterfly shapes around their parent stars. While all of these nebulae form in different places and have different characteristics, though, the new study shows some surprising similarities between some of these nebulae. In all, the astronomers examined 130 planetary nebulae in the Milky Way's central bulge. They identified three different types and looked closely at their characteristics and appearance. While two of the populations were completely randomly aligned in the sky, though, the bipolar nebulae showed a surprising preference for a particular alignment. \"\" This really is a surprising find and, if it holds true, a very important one,\"\" said Bryan Rees, one of the researchers, in a news release. \"\""

Campbell II, a physician, tended to equate a plant-based diet with veganism, [4] although at points the book describes people having a \"\"mostly\"\" plant-based diet. [ 5] Vegan wellness writer Ellen Jaffe Jones stated in a 2011 interview: I taught cooking classes for the national non-profit, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and during that time, the phrase \"\"plant-based diet\"\" came to be used as a euphemism for vegan eating, or \"\"the 'v' word.\"\" It was developed to take the emphasis off the word vegan, because some associated it with being too extreme a position, sometimes based exclusively in animal rights versus a health rationale. [ 6]More recently a number of authoritative resources have used the phrase \"\"plant-based diet\"\" to refer to diets including varying degrees of animal products, defining \"\"plant-based diets\"\" as, for example \"\"diets that include generous amounts of plant foods and limited amounts of animal foods\"\", and as diets \"\"rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, legumes, and minimally processed starchy staple foods and limiting red meat consumption, if red meat is eaten at all\"\". [ 7] Others draw a distinction between \"\"plant-based\"\" and \"\"plant-only\"\". [ 8]In various sources, \"\"plant-based diet\"\" has been used to refer to: Veganism: diet of vegetables, legumes, fruit, grains, nuts, and seeds, but no food from animal sources. ["

A vegetarian diet is associated with many health benefits because of its higher content of fiber, folic acid, vitamins C and E, potassium, magnesium, and many phytochemicals and a fat content that is more unsaturated. Compared with other vegetarian diets, vegan diets tend to contain less saturated fat and cholesterol and more dietary fiber. Vegans tend to be thinner, have lower serum cholesterol, and lower blood pressure, reducing their risk of heart disease. However, eliminating all animal products from the diet increases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, and long-chain n-3 (omega-3) fatty acids. Unless vegans regularly consume foods that are fortified with these nutrients, appropriate supplements should be consumed. In some cases, iron and zinc status of vegans may also be of concern because of the limited bioavailability of these minerals. Issue Section: Health and nutritional status of vegetarians INTRODUCTIONA nationwide poll conducted in April 2006 by Harris Interactive reported that 1.4% of the American population is vegan, in that they eat no meat, fish, dairy, or eggs ( 1 ). Vegan diets are growing in popularity today among teenagers and youth, especially females."

"text": "Is a vegan diet healthy? By Food Team | December 31, 2014 | In Healthy, Healthy meals, Nutrition, Special diets, Vegan WHAT IS A VEGAN DIET? A vegan diet consists of vegetables, grains, nuts, fruits and other foods made only from plants. Many argue that we should all be making a conscious effort to reduce consumption of animals and animal products for the sake of our health and for the planet.. Vegan or not, a diet high in fruit and veg, and plant-based food is a good starting point for a healthy lifestyle. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GOING VEGAN? The answer depends as much on what you eat as with any other diet. Someone living purely on crisps or chips, for example, would be technically following a vegan diet, but it would in no way be healthy. Research has shown that the average vegan diet is higher in vitamin C and fibre, and lower in saturated fat than one containing meat, all of which are beneficial. In addition, statistics show that vegans have a lower BMI (height-to-weight ratio) than meat eaters – in other words, they are skinnier. A diet without any meat or dairy products is likely to contain a lot less saturated fat, which is related to increased cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart disease."

Vegans have:3/4–1/2 lower rates of high blood pressure ( 1, 2)2/3 lower risk of type-2 diabetes ( 3)15–20% lower risk of cancer ( 4, 5)Significantly lower cholesterol levels ( 6)Even though there are numerous benefits, in order to thrive, vegans should be aware of the nutrition issues below. Calories, Protein, and Fat It’s important to include some high-calorie, high-protein foods in order to feel satisfied. Simply removing animal products from a typical American diet is going to leave you with mostly low-calorie foods such as salads, vegetables, and fruit. Eating only these foods could quickly leave you feeling hungry and weak, and thinking a vegan diet is a real challenge. While severe protein deficiency is nothing to worry about, not eating some high-protein plant foods could leave you craving animal products or feeling fatigued—see Story from a Once-Failing, Now-Thriving Vegan. Legumes—beans, peanuts, peas, lentils, and soy—seitan, and quinoa are the best sources of protein for vegans. Include a few servings of these foods each day—maybe even each meal. People tend to think of animal products, and especially meat, as “protein,” but many are 50% fat. A very low-fat, plant-based diet might improve someone’s health in the short term, especially if they have high cholesterol, but it might not be ideal for longer periods."

Today was supposed to be my weekly Loving Lately post, but something is heavily on my mind today & I think today’s post would be better spent discussing it. I also haven’t done a recovery update post in a while, even though I feel like I have because I have been writing about my recovery in such detail in my book!Well… what happens to be on my mind today is the “High Carb Low Fat” (HCLF) raw vegan diet, and the fact that there are so many blogs, You Tube channels, Instagram accounts and websites out there dedicated to it and how it has “changed people’s lives for the better,” etc. I have gotten three emails today ALONE from young girls asking about the HCLF diet and whether it will cure their problems, heal their eating disorders, help them lose weight and guide them toward their greatest state of health happiness. Let me begin by reminding you that I will never knock someone else’s lifestyle and/or dietary choices if it works for them. The people I am addressing this post to are not the thriving HCLF raw vegans. I am addressing this post to the people (the young girls, specifically) who come across these Instagram accounts/You Tube channels and believe that eating this way, copying these people’s diet and lifestyle choices, will lead them toward their ideal life and health & fitness goals. For those who are not aware, the HCLF raw vegan lifestyle, otherwise known as the 80/10/10 diet, otherwise known as “fruitarian,” “raw till 4,” “carb yourself up,” etc. is a diet where you get about 80% of your calories from the carbohydrates of fruit (and in the “raw till 4” case, from steamed starches as well), 10% from fats and 10% from protein. A typical HCLF meal consists of a smoothie made of 10 bananas, and it wouldn’t be rare to follow that with another smoothie made from 12 dates and filtered water."

"text": "24 Sep 15Margie Body, Wellness0 Comments The Difference Between A Plant-Based, Vegan, & Macrobiotic Diet Although these diets seem similar, they are not the same. Here is a brief run down of the differences: A plant-based diet emphasizes vegetables, grains, legumes and fruit, nuts and seeds, spices, with little or no animal products. A vegan diet is a plant-based diet with no food from animal sources. The term veganism can also refer to a lifestyle that rejects the use of animal products for any reason. Most vegans refrain from the use of leather goods, wool, cosmetics, etc. made from animal products. Raw foods is a form of veganism, in which food is uncooked or only dehydrated. Vegans consume sugar and processed foods that are made without the use of animal products. A Macrobiotic diet is a plant-based diet with occasional fish, consisting mostly of seasonal grains, vegetables, sea vegetables, and plant based proteins. The word macrobiotic means “large life”."

The few plant foods that are sources of B12 are actually B12 analogs, which blocks the uptake of true B12 and actually increases your need for it. B12 is stored in your liver, kidneys and other body tissues. As a result, a deficiency may not be apparent for about seven years. Initial symptoms of deficiency include: lack of motivation, apathy, mental fogginess, muscle weakness and fatigue. Chronic long-term B12 deficiency can lead to serious conditions such as depression, dementia, and fertility problems. By Dr. Mercola The average non-vegetarian stores between 2,000 and 3,000 picograms of B-12 per day. B-12 helps change homocysteine into methionine. When this does not happen, homocysteine levels increase, which recent research has associated heart disease and deterioration of the arteries and nerves. Although many vegan foods are said to have active B-12, few are proving to actually raise B-12 or prevent its loss."

Many people ask if they should become a vegan or vegetarian, so I will weigh in. I think that some of these answers are probably going to surprise you and enlighten you on those two diets. The Paleo Diet So let’s first talk about the Paleo diet, one of the most popular diets in Cross Fit workout circles and, really, just growing around the country. The Paleo diet is modeled after what our ancient (specifically, Paleolithic) ancestors would have eaten thousands upon thousands of years ago.

He has a shaved head and a brightly colored tattoo on his left arm, and he can easily be mistaken for a Marine separated from his platoon. His apartment is filled with medals and trophies from bodybuilding competitions, snapshots of his tanned, rippled physique in full flex. His uniform is an assortment of sweat pants and hoodies, which he occasionally lifts when his abs look particularly fierce. But most surprising is what is inside Sitko’s stomach: tofu, fresh greens and plant-based protein powder. Sitko is among a niche community of vegan bodybuilders. As the popularity of veganism has spread in recent years — fueled in part by a flurry of food-focused documentaries like “ Super Size Me ,” “ Food, Inc. ” and “ Forks Over Knives ” — its imprint can be seen in industries like publishing (Veg News) and fashion (hemp tote bags).

A raw food diet involves mainly unprocessed, whole, plant-based, and preferably organic, foods. Three-quarters of the person's diet should consist of uncooked food. Raw food dieters believe that eating a high proportion of raw foods makes them healthier. Some raw foodists are vegan, and they consume no foods of animal origin. Others eat raw meat and raw animal products. Weight loss is not the main aim of the raw food diet, but it is possible. This article is part of a series called What are the eight most popular diets today? Types A vegan raw food diet contains uncooked vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, and juices."

"text": "A plant physiologist is a scientist who concentrates on studying, understanding and often teaching the integral biological processes of plants. These professionals spend most of their time conducting research on certain elements of plant life. This can include flower pigmentation, tree root structures or the science of species reproduction and mutation, among other things. The work that a plant physiologist can engage in is very broad, and the profession is home to a great many career paths. Plant physiology encompasses more than straight plant biology. Biology and the organic nature of plant life is foundational, but the day-to-day work of an average plant physiologist involves a high degree of both chemistry and math. Physiologists study the internal workings of plants, often on a cellular level. Enzyme patterns, protein synthesis and genetic expressions are all substantial parts of the job. Many plant physiologists are affiliated with universities. The percentage might vary from country to country, but in most places, the preponderance of jobs in the field is within academia."

"text": "\"Protecting our native plants & animals“It is the nearest thing to studying life on another planet\"\" Jared Diamond, author, physiologist, evolutionary biologist and bio-geographer, on New Zealand’s native plants and animals. Uniquely New Zealand Due to its long geological isolation since breaking away from the supercontinent Gondwana about 80 million years ago, New Zealand’s plant and animal life has developed down a unique evolutionary path. Many of our native plants and animals are endemic – that is, found nowhere else in the world. The level of endemism among New Zealand plants and animals is one of the highest in the world. The tuatara, moa, kiwi, kokako, saddleback, huia, kakapo, native frogs and giant carnivorous land snails are just some of the species that are unique to New Zealand. This isolation in the absence of mammalian predators for millions of years also meant that many of our native species were virtually defenceless against attack – for example, many of our native birds like the kiwi are flightless and nest on the ground. When humans – first Maori and then European settlers - arrived in New Zealand, introduced mammals came with them: rats, possums, stoats, ferrets, weasels, deer, pigs, mice, cats, dogs and others. These introduced species quickly took a heavy toll as they preyed and browsed on New Zealand’s largely defenceless native species, or competed with them. Human activities such as felling and burning vegetation and draining wetlands also destroyed much of the native species’ habitats. Native species such as the moa, huia, and the world’s largest-ever eagle, the Haast’s eagle, the South Island kokako and many others became extinct."

"text": "The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion3. The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion For food to be utilized by the body, it must first undergo a series of processes which we call digestion. After we perform the only really voluntary actions involved in the process of nutrition—putting the food into our mouths, chewing and swallowing—the balance of the digestive process is the function of the autonomic or involuntary nervous system. The changes which foods undergo are largely effected by enzyme and digestive juices. The conditions under which “such action” can occur are sharply defined, and this is the logical foundation of the food combining system. Physiologists have ascertained the details of the chemistry of digestion through long and painstaking labors. It has remained for the Natural Hygienists to make practical application of this great fund of vital knowledge. Knowledge of the physiology and chemistry of digestion can lead us all to a food program that will insure better digestion and better nutrition.3.1 Enzymes Enzymes are proteinaceous organic catalysts in all living organisms, both plant and animal. Our digestive juices contain enzymes that accelerate chemical reaction by catalytic action, without themselves being used up in the process. Digestive enzymes can be used over and over again but eventually are replaced by the body."

Plants are very sensitive to their environment and have evolved many forms of \"\"tropisms\"\" in order to ensure their survival. A tropism is the growth of a plant as a response to a stimulus, and phototropism occurs when a plant responds to light by bending in the direction of the light. Although plant physiologists (scientists who study how the processes of a plant actually work) know that this growth is caused by a plant hormone, they still do not fully understand exactly how it works. Bending toward the light Most of us at some time have noticed a houseplant on a windowsill that seems to have all of its thin stems leaning in the same direction, as if it were trying to press itself against the glass. Picking it up and turning the entire pot in the opposite direction so that the plant is pointing away from the window will only result, about eight hours later, in the plant having reversed itself and going about its business of pointing its leaves toward the window again. This is not because plants especially like Plants respond to the direction and amount of light they receive. The seedlings on the left grew toward the light it received on only one side. The plant in the center received no light. The plant on the right was grown in normal, all-around light. ("

"text": "\"What is Photosynthesis?by Govindjee and Rajni Govindjee Photosynthesis converts massive amount of Sunlight into electrical and then chemical energy. The input is carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), water (H 2 O), minerals and light, and the output is carbohydrates (food) that we need for our nourishment, and oxygen that we need to breathe [ Ref. 1 ] This oxygenic photosynthesis occurs in higher plants (e.g., rice, maize, wheat, mosses, ferns, forest trees, shrubs, etc); in green, red, brown and yellow algae, and even blue-green cyanobacteria. There are photosynthetic bacteria (e.g., purple and green bacteria; and heliobacteria) that can produce carbohydrate (food), but no oxygen. They are called anoxygenic photosynthesizers. Instead of the all-abundant water, they use H 2 S or even organic matter. Oxygenic photosynthesizers use the green pigment Chlorophyll a , located in protein complexes in photosynthetic membranes, to run the photochemistry of the process, whereas the anoxygenic photosynthesizers use Bacteriochlorophyll instead. The set of photosynthetic reactions are arbitrarily divided into (1) the light phase (that produces the reducing power and ATP, the energy currency of life); and (2) the dark phase (where the products of light phase are used to convert CO 2 to carbohydrates). Photosynthesis is the most important biological process on Earth. It serves as the World's largest solar battery."

surgeon Have you found the right surgeon? This may seem a strange question to pose if you are having your operation as an NHS patient as you are normally expected to take what is offered locally. However, via the NHS patient choice initiatives you do have a greater choice, especially when you live in a city where there are a number of surgeons practicing. The decision to have major surgery can often be stressful. Patients interested in any pelvic floor interventions should find a surgeon who is experienced in this type of surgery. When meeting with the surgeon, the patient should consider bringing a friend or family member to take part in the discussion with the surgeon and to help take notes. The private option will enable you to seek a surgeon who is more skilled in the operation you wish to have and for it to fit in more easily with your own time frame. So, you've found the names of several surgeons and you need to decide which one to consult. Here are some pointers to guide you through this decision making process."

"text": "Integrative biology is the study and research of biological systems. It does not simply involve one discipline, but integrates a wide variety of disciplines that work together to find answers to scientific questions. For example, biological sciences, engineering, physical sciences, and social sciences are all incorporated to address specific biological issues. The interrelationships that occur between organisms and their environment are often studied through integrative biology. Specific research may involve genetics or environmental studies, yet the goal is always to solve a larger, biological problem. Although it always focuses on live organisms, the focus can vary from the smallest, molecular studies to broader studies of the biosphere. Those who study and make a career out of integrative biology have a wide range of knowledge. They can consider themselves behaviorists, geneticists, physiologists, ecologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists, just for starters. They can have a career in research or in academia. They can spend their time out in the field collecting data and specimens or teaching students in a university classroom."

( D3085-1)“Microgreens” is a marketing term used to describe tiny, tender, edible greens that germinate in soil or a soil substitute from the seeds of vegetables and herbs. Smaller than “baby greens,” and harvested later than “sprouts,” microgreens can provide a variety of leaf flavors, such as sweet and spicy. They are also known for their various colors and textures. Among upscale markets, they are now considered a specialty genre of greens that are good for garnishing salads, soups, plates, and sandwiches. Microgreens began showing up on chefs’ menus as early as the 1980s, in San Francisco, California, according to a local industry source. Today, the U. S. microgreens industry consists of a variety of seed companies and growers. A microgreen has a single central stem, which has been cut just above the soil during harvesting—in fact, home gardeners often snip them with scissors. The seedlings are well suited for local growers because microgreens are harvested just 7 to 14 days after germination when the cotyledons (seed leaves) have fully developed and before the true leaves have expanded. Now, a team of Agricultural Research Service scientists and colleagues has published several studies that shed light not only on microgreens’ nutritional benefits, but also on their complex shelf-life requirements."

Do not apply any salt to your soil because that is a good way to poison that soil. The Romans used salt eons ago to poison the soil of some of their conquered territory so the inhabitants of that territory would be totally dependant on Romans for food."

The truth behind the buzz about this controversial sweetener. “It’s natural, nutritionally the same as table sugar and has the same number of calories,” say ads for high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Others call the sweetener “a growing health hazard,” “naturally evil,” and worse. For now, the naysayers seem to be winning: the number of foods flaunting “No HFCS” labels is rising steadily. Even Snapple and Pepsi recently launched new beverages sans HFCS. But what’s the truth about HFCS? Is HFCS the main culprit in the obesity epidemic?

Botany is the scientific study of plants—how plants function, what they look like, how they are related to each other, where they grow, how people make use of plants, and how plants evolved. Botany often includes the study of algae, may deal with fungi and bacteria, and usually explores the lives of plants, from tiny floating duckweeds to gigantic redwood trees. Plants are essential to the lives of humans, providing all our food—either directly or indirectly—as well as the oxygen we breathe. In addition, the plant kingdom is nature’s medicine cabinet because plants are the source of many of the most important remedies used today. Some plants produce beautiful flowers for which people pay hundreds of dollars, plants and plant materials are worn by people, and some plants produce toxins that kill animals, including humans. Plants are the foundation of all terrestrial communities, and they dramatically affect the world’s climate, the global cycles of nutrients and water, as well as the lives of animals every day. Why Study Botany? Because plants are so diverse, botanists--who are scientists that study plants--share a common interest in and curiosity about the hundreds of thousands of species of plants on earth."

The use of the term with specific reference to vital activities of healthy humans, which began in the 16th century, also is applicable to many current aspects of physiology. In the 19th century, curiosity, medical necessity, and economic interest stimulated research concerning the physiology of all living organisms. Discoveries of unity of structure and functions common to all living things resulted in the development of the concept of general physiology, in which general principles and concepts applicable to all living things are sought. Since the mid-19th century, therefore, the word physiology has implied the utilization of experimental methods, as well as techniques and concepts of the physical sciences, to investigate causes and mechanisms of the activities of all living things.

The 1988-1992 Mazda 626i 16V used a 16V DOHC version of the venerable 2.0 FE SOHC motor called the \"\"FE3\"\" . It was only offered in Europe and Japan and never came to the States. It was also offered in AWD... I first learned of the FE3 from Mazda Master Tech Alan Johnson. Back in 1996 he made an innocuous and in-passing comment to me while I was getting my Miata serviced by him \"\"you need to look at the Sportage engine\"\", as if he was telling me the guarded secret to eternal life. I pondered this statement for 4 years until one day I was at a local Mazda salvage yard and spotted what I thought was the elusive grey-market FE3 engine. The rest is history. The \"\"FE3\"\" engine is actually called the \"\"FE DOHC\"\" within Mazda but the part number nomenclature begins with FE3N so most people just refer to it as the FE3. The FE3 is an interesting engine."

"text": "Carburetor Spacer Buyer's Guide - Breathing Room The Carburetor Spacer Buyer's Guide Sean Haggai Jun 1, 2009 Share2/14If you haven't considered a carburetor spacer, here's something to keep in mind. They don't require much effort to install, generally have the potential to free up extra power, don't require any maintenance, and are pretty affordable. If you considered all the other aftermarket products on the market that offer the same power benefits, you wouldn't even be able to come close to the bang-for-the-buck that these spacers offer. So what does a carburetor spacer do? In a nutshell, adding a carburetor spacer increases the intake plenum volume by creating a taller neck on the manifold. With the extra volume, the distance between the floor (bottom of the intake manifold) and the bottom of the carburetor is also increased. The extra distance allows for the intake mixture to straighten out. Along with the extra plenum volume, the intake runner volume is also increased, potentially allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently and ultimately make more power. Considering the engine combination you've got is tuned correctly, it's safe to say that you're going to produce more top-end power while only taking away a little bottom-end grunt (think of a tunnel-ram manifold). Still, in high-revving engine combos that isn't necessarily a bad thing."

A supply air plenum is a metal box that can be attached to the outlet of a furnace. It can also be attached to an air handler. These metal boxes are used as a central manifold for all of the ductwork to connect to. When air blows out of the air handler or furnace, it will pass through the supply air plenum and then to the ductwork that is attached to it. The Costs Minimum: $50 per unit Maximum: $100 per unit The cost of supply air plenums depends on the size of the supply air plenums that are purchased. Homeowners will need to pay attention to what size supply air plenums correctly attach to their furnaces. If a homeowner is unsure, the contractor hired to install the supply air plenum will be able to assess the system. In general, supply air plenums will cost homeowners between $50 and $100 depending on the size and quality of the unit being purchased.

"text": "Features Feb 21, 2008 12:00 am Intake Manifolds, Fuel Injected Engines, Carburetors Share Tweet Print Email Larry Carley, author View bio An intake manifold is more than the plumbing that connects the carburetor or throttle body to the ports in the cylinder head. It is an integral part of the induction system that has to match the airflow characteristics of the cylinder head and camshaft, as well as the displacement and rpm range of the engine. A well-designed manifold that is properly matched to the engine’s requirements will make more torque and horsepower than a manifold which is mismatched to the engine. Stock intake manifolds are often a compilation of compromises. Stock manifolds are typically designed to minimize manufacturing cost, to accommodate emissions fittings, to fit a tight engine compartment with limited hood clearance, and to provide good low to mid-range performance, fuel economy and emissions. Most stock engines spend 95 percent of their running time between idle and 3,000 rpm, with rare bursts above 5,000 rpm. Consequently, if the engine is modified with a hotter camshaft, larger carburetor or throttle body, and/or bigger heads, the stock manifold will usually run out of air above its original design speed and hinder power rather than build power. As an example, the stock intake manifold on a Chevy 5.7L with tuned port injection, or the one on a stock Ford 4.6L V8 are both well designed for low to mid-range torque and power. In fact, each will usually out-perform most aftermarket manifolds at lower engine speeds. But if the engine is being modified to make more power, the stock manifold usually runs out of air above 5,000 rpm and becomes a restriction."

"text": "Features Aug 1, 2009 12:00 am Performance Carburetors Share Tweet Print Email Larry Carley, author View bio Carburetors persist because they are relatively simple and inexpensive compared to electronic fuel injection (EFI). Most racers and hot rodders are familiar with carburetors and know something about how to install, tune and adjust a carburetor. They may not always do it right, but all they usually need is a screwdriver and a wrench. They don’t need a laptop computer, a scan tool or any other fancy electric hardware to play with the fuel settings. However, as popular as carburetors are for performance engines, they do have some weaknesses and those weaknesses, if not addressed or corrected, can lead to significant issues. The greatest danger is not jetting a carburetor properly which can cause the engine to run dangerously lean. If an engine leans out under load or at high rpm, it can go into detonation and sometimes burn a piston. That’s the number one cause of fuel-related engine failures. If a customer’s engine has burned a piston, it’s likely the engine is running out fuel for one reason or another. The underlying cause could be the carburetor is calibrated too lean, there’s a big air leak somewhere that’s allowing air to be sucked directly into the intake manifold or the fuel pump is starving or can’t keep up with the engine’s fuel requirements under hard acceleration or at high rpm."

Generally, using a spacer with a puffer is much better than using a puffer alone. All children should use a spacer to take their medicine, for both reliever and preventer puffers. Adults and adolescents are recommended to always use a spacer with their preventer puffer, though they can use their reliever puffer with or without a spacer. A spacer is a plastic container with a mouthpiece (or mask for very young children) at one end and a hole for the inhaler at the other. The medicine is ‘fired’ from the puffer into the spacer and is then inhaled. Note: Spacers can only be used with puffers Did you know? Using a spacer with your reliever medicine in an asthma flare-up is as effective as or even better than using a nebuliser; and it’s faster and easier. You’ll probably have fewer side effects too. How to use a spacer There are two techniques for using a spacer and both work well."

This keeps the heat of the kiln away from the motor (for long motor life) and keeps the motor vibration away from the kiln (which can cause ware to move, damage to the kiln, and misfiring of cones on a Dawson Kiln Sitter). VACUUM IS SAFER THAN PRESSURE The vent tubing is kept under vacuum instead of pressure (unlike competitive brands). This insures that any leak in the tubing does not blow noxious fumes into your room. EXTERNAL VENTING IS BETTER External venting is safer and surer than venting to the inside of your kiln room with a filter. LARGE CAPACITY The blower vents up to 130 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This will handle up to a 20 cubic foot kiln (and usually larger). More than one vent can be attached to a kiln. Only 1.37 amps.

This can include soft tissue pain like muscle, ligament or tendon injuries; joint pain andswelling and bone pain. The skill of a specialised musculoskeletal podiatrist lies in the identification and understanding of the mechanism of injury thereby being able to formulate an appropriate treatmentstrategy to get you back to function. The foot plays a significant role in our day to day function. It has to effectively accept the load of the body, which varies with activity and move us from one point to another without us falling over. The foot has to be flexible enough to adapt to changes in the surface environment yet stiff enough to propel us onto the next step. It has to do all of this without us even being aware of it.

Numerous types of healthcare providers evaluate and treat conditions of the feet. These include podiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, primary care physicians, and physical therapists. The relationship between podiatrists and orthopedists is something like that of two politicians who claim to really, really respect each other, which each secretly believes in their own superiority. For most conditions, the question of which kind of doctor to see is largely a matter of whom you feel most comfortable with. Although podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons treat many of the same conditions, their training is different. There is essentially a lot of overlap in treatments, but orthopedists point out that they are able to treat the patient as a whole, not just form the ankle down. Many patients swear by podiatrist however, believing that they are better at offering pain relief and trying conservative measures first."

The term podiatry came into use in the early 20th century in the United States and is now used worldwide, including countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia. [ 1]Podiatry is practiced as a specialty in many countries, while in many English-speaking countries, the older title of chiropodist may be used by some clinicians [2] (not to be confused with chiropractic, which is unrelated). In Australia, graduates of recognised academic programs can register through the Podiatry Board of Australia as a \"\"podiatrist', and those with additional recognised training may also receive endorsement to prescribe or administer restricted medications, and/or seek specialist registration as a 'podiatric surgeon'. In many non-English-speaking countries of Europe, the title used may be podologist [3] or podólogo. [ 4] The level and scope of the practice of podiatry vary among countries. According to the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and structures of the leg.

This article will shed light on top 10 foot problems that podiatrists treat. You might be surprised to learn how many various foot diseases and conditions modern day podiatrists can successfully cure. In fact, a podiatrist is a specialist who devotes his career to diagnose and treat any disease, disorder or acquired conditions of the feet, legs and ankles. If you take into consideration how much we depend on the use of our feet daily, this makes for one important specialist for kids, adults and seniors.1. Foot related birth defects. Clubfoot is one of the most severe types of congenital abnormalities of the feet due to a variety of reasons, including growth problems and positioning in the womb.

Sometimes the treatment is as simple as prescribing orthotic shoes or as complicated as performing total ankle implant surgery. David Yeager first visited a podiatrist for an ingrown nail during his undergraduate years at Seattle University. He started chatting with Douglas Ichikawa of Bellevue Podiatric Physicians about medicine, and Ichikawa asked if Yeager had ever considered podiatry as a career. At the time, Yeager didn't know a lot about the specialty, but Ichikawa started informing him. \"\" He also knew I was a student and knew I was broke, and he didn't charge me,\"\" Yeager says. That appointment stuck with Yeager, and the more he looked into the field, the more interested he became. Another fact that resonated with Yeager is that podiatrists work with patients who range in age from infancy to geriatrics. The ability to help people in a meaningful way and still have a pretty good work-life balance appealed to Yeager, who is now a podiatrist with the KSB Foot & Ankle Center outside of Chicago. \"\""

Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, or other animals, or by the wind. What does pollination do? The transfer of pollen in and between flowers of the same species leads to fertilization, and successful seed and fruit production for plants. Pollination ensures that a plant will produce full-bodied fruit and a full set of viable seeds. Why does pollination matter to us? Worldwide, roughly 1,000 plants grown for food, beverages, fibers, spices, and medicines need to be pollinated by animals in order to produce the goods on which we depend. Foods and beverages produced with the help of pollinators include: apples, blueberries, chocolate, coffee, melons, peaches, potatoes, pumpkins, vanilla, almonds, and tequila. In the United States, pollination by honey bees, native bees, and other insects produces $40 billion worth of products annually. Are pollinators in trouble?"

The flowers of oaks, ragweed, grasses and others are comparatively inconspicuous with light-weight, non-sticky pollen grains that blow in the breeze. These are some of the pollen grains that cause sinus allergies in people. Many other plants produce flowers with colorful petals, fragrances and nectar to attract pollinators. Typically, pollinators feed on nectar or gather it. In exchange, they move the sticky pollen of these flowers from one to another. Once pollination occurs, the final stages of fertilization take place and seeds begin to develop. In the American Coastal Southeast, pollinators include hummingbirds, bees, wasps, butterflies and moths, flies, beetles. To a lesser extent, ants, snails and slugs are pollinators."

In gymnosperms, pollination involves pollen transfer from the male cone to the female cone. Upon transfer, the pollen germinates to form the pollen tube and the sperm for fertilizing the egg. Pollination has been well studied since the time of Gregor Mendel. Mendel successfully carried out self- as well as cross-pollination in garden peas while studying how characteristics were passed on from one generation to the next. Today’s crops are a result of plant breeding, which employs artificial selection to produce the present-day cultivars. A case in point is today’s corn, which is a result of years of breeding that started with its ancestor, teosinte. The teosinte that the ancient Mayans originally began cultivating had tiny seeds—vastly different from today’s relatively giant ears of corn. Interestingly, though these two plants appear to be entirely different, the genetic difference between them is miniscule. Pollination takes two forms: self-pollination and cross-pollination."

"text": "\"insects & flowers The Flower and the Fly: Long Insect Mouthparts and Deep Floral Tubes Natural History, March, 2005 by Laura A. Session, Steven D. Johnson The mega-nosed fly ( Moegistorhynchus longirostris) of southern Africa, like its literary counterpart, Pinocchio, has a bizarre appearance that reveals an underlying truth. Its proboscis, which looks like a nose but is actually the longest mouthpart of any known fly, protrudes as much as four inches from its head–five times the length of its bee-size body. In flight the ungainly appendage dangles between the insect’s legs and trails far behind its body. To an airborne fly, an elongated proboscis might seem a severe handicap (imagine walking down the street with a twenty-seven-foot straw dangling from your mouth). Apparently, though, the handicap can be well worth its aerodynamic cost. The outlandish proboscis gives the mega nosed fly access to nectar pools in long, deep flowers that are simply out of reach to insects with shorter mouthparts. But that poses a conundrum: why would natural selection favor such a deep tube in a flower? After all, nectar itself has evolved because it attracts animals that carry pollen, the sperm of the floral world, from one plant to another. And since pollinators perform such an essential service for the flower, shouldn’t evolution have favored floral geometries that make nectar readily accessible to the pollinators? Yet the story of the long proboscis of the mega-nosed fly and the long, deep tubes of the flowers on which it feeds is not quite so straightforward."

Learning Objectives Determine the differences between self-pollination and cross-pollination, and describe how plants have developed ways to avoid self-pollination Key Takeaways Key Points Pollination, the transfer of pollen from flower-to-flower in angiosperms or cone -to-cone in gymnosperms, takes place through self-pollination or cross-pollination. Cross-pollination is the most advantageous of the two types of pollination since it provides species with greater genetic diversity. Maturation of pollen and ovaries at different times and heterostyly are methods plants have developed to avoid self-pollination. The placement of male and female flowers on separate plants or different parts of the plant are also barriers to self-pollination.

While that is a great place to start, there is so much more to know!What’s a Pollinator? A pollinator is any insect that visits one flower, gets pollen on themselves, and then visits another flower, where some of the pollen they had one them gets onto the new flower. This is a very important process for many plants as it is how they exchange the genetics required for the plant to reproduce! For example, some plants are strictly either male or female, and pollen must be transferred from the male to the female for the female tree to produce seed, fruit, nuts, etc. Other plants have both male and female flowers on the same plant, so the pollinators don’t have to travel very far to get the job done!There are even some plants, like tomatoes, where each flower has both male and female parts (called a complete flower). Pollinators aren’t required for those plants, but they do help increase the fertility of the plant just because of their activity. Who Are the Pollinators? While honeybees get a lot of credit for keeping a wide range of commercially produced produce on the shelves of grocery stores, you will actually find that a lot more insects are doing the majority of the work in your garden."

What are the differences between a flower pollinated by wind and that pollinated by insects? Answer by Kcortrec Confidence votes 227The answer is really pretty simple. Flowers that are pollinated by insects are pollinated by insects going from one flower to an other, carrying pollen from one flower to the next. Wind pollination is caused by the wind carrying pollen from one flower to an other one. Usually insect pollinated flowers have large, brightly colored petals also sweet scented nectaries at the base of the petals - some flowers may look bland but when viewed under ultra violet or infrared light are very conspicuous. The Stamen is short, with anthers firmly attached inside the flower. The Stigma is sticky and is located on the inside of the flower. Additionally the pollen grain are produced in small amounts, it is rough/ spiky and its large. This features are used to attract insects for pollination."

Most varieties will grow in any amount of space, thanks to the plant’s ability to climb. Of course, these prolific veggies are perfect for pickling!There are two types of cucumber plants: vining cucumbers and bush cucumbers . The most common varieties grow on vigorous vines shaded by large leaves. The growth of these plants is fast, and the crop yield is abundant if you care for them properly. Vining varieties grow up a trellis or fence. They will be cleaner—versus those that grow atop soil—often more prolific, and easier to pick. Bush cucumbers are, however, nicely suited to containers and small gardens. Make successive plantings (every two weeks for continued harvests). In already-warm summer soil, cucumbers will grow quickly and ripen in about six weeks!If you’re interested in making pickles, we recommend several prolific varieties below that are bred especially for pickling, such as heirloom ‘Boston Pickling’."

"text": "What is Pollination? Printer friendly version Pollination is the first step in the process of sexual reproduction in plants. In pollination, a male pollen grain is transferred to the female part of a flower, germinates and fertilizes the ovule. All of these steps must occur for a seed to develop. Without pollination, the production of many of the seeds and fruits that we eat would not be possible. As in all sexually reproducing organisms, mating in plants results in offspring that contain genes from both parents. Unlike animals, plants cannot seek each other out. They must rely on wind, water, or animals to move pollen between plants. Wind is responsible for pollinating many staple crops such as wheat and corn, but many Ontario crops rely heavily or completely on insects for pollination. Bees are the most commonly discussed pollinators, but many other insects and even vertebrates can play a role (see Pollinators )."

Nasal polyps appear as small, greyish or pink, teardrop-shaped growths on the lining of the sinus cavity or nasal passages. You might also picture them as tiny peeled grapes. When viewing a CT scans of the sinuses, cloudy spots typically mean nasal polyps are present. They are normally benign and appear as a result of several different issues, which may include: prolonged inflammation of the nasal tissues, chronic sinusitis, allergies, asthma or as a side effect of certain drugs. The actual cause of nasal polyps is not known. Nasal polyps vary in size. Smaller growths often go unrecognized because they present no symptoms. More sizeable polyps, on the other hand, can cause great discomfort, since they can block the sinus passages, affecting your ability to breathe and predisposing you to acute or chronic sinusitis. The cause of nasal polyps is still very poorly understood and may be due to hundreds of separate factors."

They can occur in several locations in the gastrointestinal tract but are most common in the colon. They vary in size from less than a quarter of an inch to several inches in diameter. They look like small bumps growing from the lining of the bowel and protruding into the lumen (bowel cavity). They sometimes grow on a “stalk” and look like mushrooms. Some polyps can also be flat. Many patients have several polyps scattered in different parts of the colon. Some polyps can contain small areas of cancer, although the vast majority of polyps do not. How Common Are Colon Polyps?"

"text": "Print Overview Colonoscopy A colonoscopy (koe-lun-OS-kuh-pee) is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon. If necessary, polyps or other types of abnormal tissue can be removed through the scope during a colonoscopy. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken during a colonoscopy as well. Why it's done Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy to: Investigate intestinal signs and symptoms. A colonoscopy can help your doctor explore possible causes of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea and other intestinal problems. Screen for colon cancer. If you're age 50 or older and at average risk of colon cancer — you have no colon cancer risk factors other than age — your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy every 10 years or sometimes sooner to screen for colon cancer. Colonoscopy is one option for colon cancer screening."

Because time before your endoscopy and a period of recovery, you and your escort should expect to spend 90-120 minutes at our facility. Why does my driver have to stay in the waiting room during my procedure?1. Timing - We like to bring the patient’s driver/family member back as soon as the procedure is done so that this person can be present to hear what the doctor did during the procedure. This is very important as the patient is usually still under the influence of medication and will not remember this important conversation. The length of procedures can be unpredictable at times and we may be done sooner than we thought, if the driver is not here then the information on what happened will not be heard by someone else that is coherent. 2.

Living Well Expert Dr. Jennifer Shu Pediatrician, Children's Medical Group Expert answer Thanks for your question. In general, masses on the ovary are called cysts while growths on the cervix or uterus tend to be called polyps. Ovarian cysts are fairly common in women and often do not cause any symptoms at all, however, they sometimes can cause pain or pressure in the pelvic area. These cysts typically do not affect menstrual bleeding. For more information about your specific condition and whether you can expect any serious problems, I encourage you to talk more with your doctor. To describe pelvic masses in general, I consulted with Dr. Jennifer Gunter, an OB-gyn at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco, California, and author of the forthcoming book \"\"The Preemie Primer: A Complete Guide for Parents of Premature Babies -- from Birth through the Toddler Years and Beyond.\"\""

Hershey Medical Center YEARS IN FIELD: 11Q: Many singers — including Adele and Keith Urban — have had to take a temporary break because of vocal cord polyps. Can you explain what causes such polyps? A: When we speak or sing, many factors come together to generate the sound. Our lungs provide the power, our vocal cords (or “folds”) provide the sound, and the rest of our throat and mouth modify that sound into what others hear. The vocal cords are small muscles covered by a very specialized and mobile lining, which allows for vibration in a controlled manner. All of these components must be working well to create a normal voice. The differences in those who can carry a tune and professional singers, involves many factors of inherited good anatomy, hard-work and training, and in-born talent. In the case of vocal professionals, the vocal cords are what experience the most strain when speaking or singing. Professional singers are truly “vocal athletes” and push themselves beyond what most people do. In doing that, the vocal cords may experience damage."

"text": "Polypropylene is a plastic polymer with the chemical formula C3H6. It is used in many different settings, both in industry and in consumer goods, and it can be used both as a structural plastic and as a fiber. This plastic is often used for food containers, particularly those that need to be dishwasher safe. The melting point of polypropylene is very high compared to many other plastics, at 320°F (160°C), which means that the hot water used when washing dishes will not cause dishware made from this plastic to warp. This contrasts with polyethylene, another popular plastic for containers, which has a much lower melting point. Polypropylene is also very easy to add dyes to, and it is often used as a fiber in carpeting that needs to be rugged and durable, such as that for use around swimming pools or on miniature golf courses. Unlike nylon, which is also often used as a fiber for rugged carpeting, it doesn't soak up water, making it ideal for uses where it will be constantly subject to moisture. Ad Research is ongoing with polypropylene, as makers experiment with different methods for synthesizing it. Some of these experiments yield the promise of exciting new types of plastic, with new consistencies and a different feel from the fairly rigid version that most people are used to. These new elastic versions are very rubbery, making them even more resistant to shattering and opening up many different uses for an already pervasive plastic."

Use the following glossary to better understand stickers, labels and decals. BASIC TERMINOLOGYThe most basic sticker terms are often thought of as interchangeable. The following are examples of how one might differentiate these terms based on their use. Full Color Sticker Pressure Sensitive Stock: This is the most technical way to refer to stickers or labels. It’s a general description of any paper or synthetic stocks that adhere to surface when pressed against it. Stickers: When a pressure sensitive stock is used for decorative or branding purposes it is usually referred to as a sticker. They generally come individually cut. Labels: When pressure sensitive stock is used to identify a product or contents of a package, indicate a destination on an item being shipped, or differentiate items for organizational purposes they are usually referred to as labels (i.e., mailing labels, size labels, beer labels, etc…). Labels come in individual sheets or on a roll."

We drew on the chemical, elastomer & plastics expertise of our manufacturing partners and identified several urethane chemistries suitable for the modern farrier. After the successful introduction of our polyurethane medial / lateral extensions in Lexington, KY we were confident that these materials would allow us to introduce urethane horseshoes that met and/or exceeded the rigorous performance requirements of professional farriers. The Flexx ® horseshoes are built to allow farriers employing the direct-glue shoeing process an alternative to aluminum shoes. No more breathing aluminum dust while grinding and no more waiting for a hot shoe to cool. The new elastomer (polyurethane) horseshoe is dimensionally identical to conventional forged aluminum shoes and is “glue friendly” but overcomes a common direct-glue complaint of “hoof capsule restriction”. The Flexx ® shoes bio-mimic ™ natural hoof movement and reduce hoof capsule restriction by allowing modest heel movement. Q: Are the Flexx ® horseshoes intended to replace traditional shoeing products and methods? A: Absolutely Not!"

The idea conjures an image of thick, inky glop smeared across a ratty, faded rug or dabbed onto a stain, leaving stiff fibers and a dull finish. Not carpet dyeing so much as carpet death. So it was as a complete skeptic that I checked into Color Your Carpet, a national company that claims to dye carpets with spectacular results. The parent company's Web site ( www.carpetdyeing.com ) says its process for all-over color change or spot touch-ups can match up to 16 million shades, dries almost instantly, comes with a 100 percent warranty and is backed by references from commercial and residential clients. Too good to be true. So when I called one of Color Your Carpet's three area franchisees, I asked to see his portfolio and as many metro-area references as he could muster ( www.dyecarpet.net, 800-441-2551 ). Return to Top Above all, I wanted a demonstration of how the process worked, something more convincing than those late-night commercials for miracle laundry cleaners. I wanted to see it deal with real-world problems: red wine and cola stains; ground-in mud; bleach spots; cigarette scorches; urine of the baby, dog and cat varieties."

This guide will help you understand the differences and give you the advantage of making an informed buying decision when shopping for rugs. Hand Knotted Rugs Parts of a Hand Knotted Rug Hand knotted rugs are made on a specially designed loom and are knotted by hand. The making of hand knotted rugs is a very ancient art that deserves a lot of admiration! The size of the loom depends on the size of the rug and the weaving is done from the bottom to the top. The rug weaver inserts the “knots” into the foundation of the rug and they are tied by hand, this makes up the “pile” of the rug. This is a very tedious and time consuming operation. ( Click the link to read our post about the knot count of hand knotted rugs . ) The length of time to produce a hand knotted rug depends on the size and intricacy of the pattern. It is not unheard of for a super fine quality 12’ x 15’ rug to take over a year to produce!"

An area rug can dampen the noise of footsteps, provide a cushion between your feet and hard floors, and serve as the anchor for any arrangement of furniture.4 Things to Consider Before Buying an Area Rug Smart rug buying begins with asking a few questions about your lifestyle and needs. We've done the dirty work for you and created a list of four key points to think about before you purchase a rug.1Lifestyle Understanding how your rug fits into your lifestyle will help you choose one that will make your rug a comfort and style asset rather than a cleaning problem.

"text": "\"Your guide Gregory Han After spending almost 42 hours comparing nearly two dozen plastic storage bins, interviewing a panel of professionally recognized organization experts, and testing 10 finalists by stuffing them, dropping them, soaking them, and hauling them around full of books, we chose the Sterilite 30 Quart Ultra Latching Storage Box ($6 per unit, sold as a $37 six-pack) as the general storage container we’d recommend for most people. About as big as a large toaster oven (or a small aquarium), this bin offers a comfortable balance of ergonomics, security, durability and, most of all, affordability. This is not the biggest or toughest bin we tested—we have picks for those too, if that’s what you need. But when you consider the excellent price you’ll pay for six of them, we believe this is the best choice for most everyday storage duties. In fact, this bin’s performance is comparable to the best products on the market, but you’ll pay a fraction of what you would for the others. Our pick Sterilite 30 Quart Ultra Latching Storage Box For a quality bin at a great price, this is it—the lid held shut, the sides didn’t crack, and it stayed dry when soaked with water. As long as it’s big enough for your stuff, a set of these inexpensive bins are good enough to stack in the basement, attic, or closet.$50 * from Amazon (Pack of six)*At the time of publishing, the price was $37. Most other bins you can get for about $6 each are flimsy or leaky, but this see-through bin survived the drop test without a crack and stayed dry even when being sprayed and submerged in water, and deep hand grips made the size (18.13 by 11.5 by 12.25 inches) easy to carry, even when loaded with 14 hardback books. The sides aren’t the stiffest and the latches aren’t the toughest—but they lock to hold the lid on tight while lifting, shaking, stuffing, and dropping the bin. There were some slightly bigger, better, pricier items in our test, but we decided that a plastic storage bin is a product most people want to get in high quantity, at a low cost, with a level of quality that’s good enough to survive a move or endure long-term storage."

"text": "A utility sink or laundry sink is one of the best ways to give yourself a little extra space for cleaning- making your life a little easier. These sinks are much larger, and more rough-and-tumble, than your regular kitchen sink, allowing plenty of room for cleaning your clothes, pets, or any variety of chores ( Source ). These come in a variety of styles, materials, and even installation types. With all these options, you are sure to find one that is exactly what you are looking for ( Source ).5 Different Styles Generally, there are five ways that utility sinks are installed: drop-in, undermount, wall-mounted, floor-standing, and portable ( Source ). Drop-in laundry sinks are installed to fit into the countertop – much like a traditional kitchen sink – with the lip of the sink peeking over the edges. Undermount sinks are generally the same idea but with no lip sitting on top of the counter. Wall-mounted and floor-mounted units are installed on the wall or with the base on the floor. Lastly there are stand-alone sinks instead of sinks connected to a counter. Instead of being installed, portable sinks usually connect to a hose to work and allow you to move them as needed.

But as technology advances, plastics recycling is evolving, so it can be tricky keeping up with the progress … even for the avid recycler. Here are four things about plastics recycling you may not know:1. Recyclers Want Your Caps and Lids Don’t throw your soft drink bottle caps in the trashcan. Or your butter tub lids, either. They’re not trash! Bottle caps and container lids are made with valuable plastics, and recyclers want them, too. Simply put caps and lids back on bottles and containers and toss them in the recycling bin together. Recyclers typically shred them all into flakes and then submerge the flakes in water. Bottle flakes sink and the other flakes float, making it easy to separate the plastics for recycling."

Although geologists would do a chemical analysis before identifying andesite in a published paper, in the field they readily call a gray or medium-red lava andesite. Andesite gets its name from the Andes mountains of South America, where arc volcanic rocks mix basaltic magma with granitic crustal rocks, yielding lavas with intermediate compositions. Andesite is less fluid than basalt and erupts with more violence because its dissolved gases cannot escape as easily."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Its made up of both. Oceanic crust is mostly mafic magma (basalt) and continental crust is mafic and felsic. The lithosphere also contains the upper portion of the upper mantle which is mostly mafic. The earths crust is 60% Si02 (silicates). Felsic rocks are much more silicate heavy than mafic. So one would assume that the crust is more felsic than mafic. That's just my conceptual thought process so don't take me on my word."

[ 1] Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Common mafic rocks include basalt, diabase and gabbro. Mafic rocks often also contain calcium-rich varieties of plagioclase feldspar. Chemically, mafic rocks are enriched in iron, magnesium and calcium and typically dark in color. In contrast the felsic rocks are typically light in color and enriched in aluminium and silicon along with potassium and sodium. The mafic rocks also typically have a higher density than felsic rocks."

"text": "\"Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks are one of the three major rock types and are basically rocks that solidified from magma. Magma is the term for liquid or melted rock and is usually quite hot. After all, the term igneous comes from the Latin word for \"\"of fire\"\". Most people have seen pictures or video of magma that flows out of a volcano. When magma flows onto the surface of the Earth it is called lava. When the lava cools and forms a rock, that rock is an igneous rock. But there are also rocks that form from magma that does not reach the surface of the Earth. These rocks form in what are often called plutons and are also types of igneous rocks. These two types of igneous rocks are called extrusive (because it extruded or came out of the Earth) and intrusive (because it intruded and stayed inside the Earth). They are also referred to respectively as volcanic and plutonic."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science About Igneous Rocks Rocks Shaped by a Molten History Share Flipboard Email Print Federica Grassi / Getty Imagesby Andrew Alden Updated August 18, 2017There are three great categories of rocks, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic, and most of the time, they're simple to tell apart. They are all connected in the endless rock cycle, moving from one form to another and changing shape, texture and even chemical composition along the way. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma or lava and compose much of the Earth's continental crust and nearly all of the oceanic crust. How to Tell Igneous Rocks The key concept about all igneous rocks is that they were once hot enough to melt. The following traits are all related to that: Because their mineral grains grew together tightly as the melt cooled, they are relatively strong rocks. They're made of primary minerals that are mostly black, white or gray. Any other colors they may have are pale. Their textures generally look like something that was baked in an oven. The even texture of coarse-grained granite is familiar from building stones or kitchen counters. Fine-grained lava may look like black bread (including gas bubbles) or dark peanut brittle (including larger crystals)."

"text": "\"Did you know that Robert Frost studied historical geology with Nathaniel Southgate Shaler (something of the Stephen Jay Gould of his time) when he entered Harvard College in 1898? Chapter 5: Minerals, Rocks & Rock Forming Processes When we discussed the beginnings of the universe, we noted the dropping temperatures were essential for the organization of matter as we know it. First the subatomic particles (quarks, electrons, etc.) were able to form, when temperature dropped further quarks were able to organize into protons and neutrons, then these were able to form simple atomic nuclei, and finally neutral atoms of hydrogen and helium could form when temperatures had dropped even lower. The remaining elements of the periodic table were produced via successive nuclear fusion in stars (up to iron), and under the intense pressures and temperatures of supernova explosions (up to uranium). When the Earth and other planets accreted around 4.5-4.6 billion years ago, they contained a mixture of all the elements, and the relative abundances probably reflected the cosmic abundances indicated by spectroscopic studies. What happened to that mixture once the Earth started to heat up and differentiate? Basically, whenever chemical elements (atoms) are brought together there is a tendency for them to react with each other and to form compounds . How this works exactly is the subject of thermodynamics or physical chemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry. Thermodynamics allows us to calculate the outcome of chemical reactions when we bring certain substances together."

"text": "EENS 21 2Petrology Prof. Stephen A. Nelson Tulane University Textures of Igneous Rocks This document last updated on 13-Feb-2004Introduction to Igneous Rocks An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. A magma consists mostly of liquid rock matter, but may contain crystals of various minerals, and may contain a gas phase that may be dissolved in the liquid or may be present as a separate gas phase. Magma can cool to form an igneous rock either on the surface of the Earth - in which case it produces a volcanic or extrusive igneous rock, or beneath the surface of the Earth, - in which case it produces a plutonic or intrusive igneous rock. Characteristics of Magma Types of Magma Types of magma are determined by chemical composition of the magma. Three general types are recognized, but we will look at other types later in the course: Basaltic magma -- Si O 2 45-55 wt%, high in Fe, Mg, Ca, low in K, Na Andesitic magma -- Si O 2 55-65 wt%, intermediate. in Fe, Mg, Ca, Na, KRhyolitic magma -- Si O 2 65-75%, low in Fe, Mg, Ca, high in K, Na Gases in Magmas At depth in the Earth nearly all magmas contain gas dissolved in the liquid, but the gas forms a separate vapor phase when pressure is decreased as magma rises toward the surface. This is similar to carbonated beverages which are bottled at high pressure. The high pressure keeps the gas in solution in the liquid, but when pressure is decreased, like when you open the can or bottle, the gas comes out of solution and forms a separate gas phase that you see as bubbles. Gas gives magmas their explosive character, because volume of gas expands as pressure is reduced."

Cooling of the magma can occur deep beneath the surface (plutonic), beneath the surface but at relatively shallow depths (hypabyssal) or on the surface (volcanic). Igneous rocks come in a variety of forms and colors. For example two samples of granite, while mineralogically similar, may look quite different, and yet they are both granites.

The assay system, in which a filter paper disc was dipped into the enzyme and submerged using a stirring rod in a test tube filled with 20m L of hydrogen peroxide, was used to test several enzyme factors. As the saturation of hydrogen peroxide increased the rate of reaction increased as well. When the enzyme concentration increased the rate of catalase activity increased too. When catalase was subjected to an increase of temperature changes, the rate of reaction increased. Once the protein denatured around 100ºC the catalase activity decreased. Catalase operated with a high efficiency when the p H of the enzyme was 7. As the catalase p H was altered to acidic or basic, the rate of reaction decreased. Introduction Catalase is an enzyme that promotes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen gas: H2O2 H2O + O2. Hydrogen peroxide is a potential hazard for the body, which is why it is used to kill bacteria (WKU, 2010)."

If copious bubbles are observed, the microbe is positive for catalase. What medium is used? The medium for growth can be most any general purpose medium. Care should be taken to avoid using blood agar, as blood cells contain catalase and trace contamination of medium can lead to false positive results.

Open Document Temperature's Effect on the Production of Oxygen From Yeast and Hydrogen Peroxide Planning Aim --- My aim is to discover how temperature effects the production of oxygen from yeast and hydrogen peroxide. I will mix yeast with hydrogen peroxide and use an upturned measuring cylinder to measure how much oxygen is produced. To find out how much hydrogen peroxide and yeast I will use, I will carry out pre-tests. This will also aid accuracy of the final experiment by uncovering potential flaws in the method. Hypothesis and Theory --------------------- There are many ideas to suggest that the change in temperature will cause an increase of respiration in yeast. Yeast is a single cell fungus made up mostly of protein, which has been use for its applications in fermentation. Yeast, after activation creates the ferments carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol by secreting the enzyme zymase (a complex of 12 enzymes) in the yeast, which acts on simple sugars such as glucose. The alcohol produced has been used in making wines and bears and the carbon dioxide produced has been used in baking as it gets trapped in the dough and causes it to rise. Enzymes are catalysts which speed up reactions, they are made from protein and are specific as to which substrate they work on. Enzymes basically work due to the lock and key theory, where the substrate substance (the key) fits into the active site on the enzyme and they bind together, the reaction takes place and the substrate unlocks to Need Writing Help?"

The salt makes the medium selective because its concentration is high enough to dehydrate and kill most bacteria. Staphylococci thrive in the medium largely because of their adaptation to salty habitants, such as human skin. Most Staphylococci are able to grow on MSA but don’t ferment the mannitol so the growth appears with the unchanged pink or red medium color. S. aureus, however, ferments mannitol, which produces acid and lowers the p H of the medium. The result is bright yellow colonies. This test is specifically for isolating and differentiating S. Aureus. If there is no growth at all, the salt inhibited the organism, it’s not Staphylococcus. If there is good growth, the organism is not inhibited by the salt and it’s Staphylococcus. If there is good growth AND THERE’S A YELLOW HALO AROUND IT, then this organism is not inhibited AND it ferments mannitol, so it’s possibly S. Aureus!Moral of the story: If you see yellow, it’s probably S. Aureus."

It speeds up the disintegration of hydrogen peroxide into water because of the molecule of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) but it remains unchanged at the end of the reaction. This is a type of reaction where a molecule is broken down into smaller pieces. It is called an anabolic reaction. This experiment is the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen in the air. Catalase is found in a cell organelle called the peroxisome. Peroxisomes in animal cells are occupied in the decomposition of fatty acids, and the separation of cholesterol and bile acids. White blood cells create hydrogen peroxide to destroy bacteria. Hydrogen Peroxide is a result of fatty acid oxidization. Catalase prevents the hydrogen from damaging the cell itself."

Report abuse Transcript of Yeast Enzyme Lab Yeast Enzyme Lab Introduction In this lab, observations will be taken of the reaction between hydrogen peroxide, the enzyme catalase and hydrochloric acid. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy – the amount of energy that reactants must absorb before a chemical reaction will start – these enzymes can only operate under optimal conditions based on temperature and p H levels. If the conditions change, even in the slightest the enzyme could possibly denature, meaning the enzyme’s structure begins to unravel which in return changes the shape of the enzyme to the point that it no longer fits to the active site and will no longer function. The enzyme used in this lab, catalase or yeast has an optimal temperature of 37° C (close to the natural temperature of humans) and an optimal p H level of 6.8 to 7.5 which is a fairly neutral p H level. When the enzyme catalase is introduced to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), it decomposes into water and oxygen gas. [ 2H2O2 à 2H2O + O2]. The variable used in this lab is hydrochloric acid (HCl), which has p H level of 1-2, when it is placed in any solution; the acid increases the acidity of the solution. The lab will demonstrate that without the presence of hydrochloric acid, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas will take place at a faster rate. Hypothesis If the enzyme catalase denatures in the presence of hydrochloric acid then the decompostion rate of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas will be significantly slower.

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science Why Does Hydrogen Peroxide Bubble on a Wound? How Hydrogen Peroxide Bubbles Work Share Flipboard Email Print Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid, but it forms bubbles when it comes in contact with broken cells (like this piece of liver) because the enzyme catalase causes it to decompose and release oxygen gas. Steve Gorton / Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated March 06, 2017Have you ever wondered why hydrogen peroxide bubbles on a cut or wound, yet doesn't bubble on unbroken skin? Here's a look at the chemistry behind why hydrogen peroxide bubbles and what it means when it doesn't bubble. Why Hydrogen Peroxide Forms Bubbles Hydrogen peroxide bubbles when it comes into contact with an enzyme called catalase. Most cells in the body contain catalase, so when the tissue is damaged, the enzyme is released and becomes available to react with the peroxide. Catalase allows hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) to be broken down into water (H 2 O) and oxygen (O 2 ). Like other enzymes, catalase is not used up in the reaction, but is recycled to catalyze more reactions. Catalase supports up to 200,000 reactions per second."

It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. [ 5] It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Likewise, catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes; one catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules to water and oxygen each second. [ 6]Catalase is a tetramer of four polypeptide chains, each over 500 amino acids long. [ 7] It contains four iron-containing heme groups that allow the enzyme to react with the hydrogen peroxide. The optimum p H for human catalase is approximately 7, [8] and has a fairly broad maximum: the rate of reaction does not change appreciably between p H 6.8 and 7.5. [ 9] The p H optimum for other catalases varies between 4 and 11 depending on the species. [ 10] The optimum temperature also varies by species. ["

Enzymes break down molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has only one substrate in which it breaks down. The location enzymes are produced is in the cells of the body. They affect the rate of almost all chemical reactions that take place in living organisms. Enzyme activity rates are influenced by temperature, p H, and the presence of inhibitors. Catalase is an enzyme, which is produced by every cell. Its purpose is to break down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide is a waste product of cellular activity. It is poisonous to cells."

Share Email Print Feedback Approach Considerations The tilt-table test involves placing a patient on a flat table with a foot support, then tilting the table upward for a period of time to observe changes in blood pressure and heart rate. The patient is initially positioned supine and horizontal on the table, then tilted by degrees to a completely vertical, upright position. During the study, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and cardiac rhythms are recorded and monitored for the end point of fainting, which indicates a positive tilt-test result. [ 7] The patient is also observed for signs and symptoms that would necessitate early termination of the study. Tilt-Table Testing The following steps describe positioning and technique in tilt-table testing: [ 8]Dress patient in hospital gown without restrictive binding around abdomen or legs. Insert an intravenous catheter and start a maintenance IV fluid drip with 0.9% Na Cl. Place patient supine on tilt table and secure patient with protective straps to avoid falls. Apply blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and rhythm monitors and record baseline measurements. Have the patient rest supine for 10 minutes. Provide a room that is quiet, dim, and a comfortable temperature."

It has a range of origins, on the pelvis, sacrum, coccyx, and the lumbar, thoracolumbar, and gluteus medius fascia. It inserts on the upper femur and on the ITB of the fascia latae, which connects to the tibia. These varied attachment points allow it to perform a wide variety of roles. The gluteus maximus produces a number of joint actions, including: hip extension, trunk extension, posterior pelvic tilt, hip external rotation, hip abduction (upper fibers), force closure of sacroiliac joint, force transfer through the ITB, and even force transfer through the tensor fascia latae. The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body, whether measured by weight, cross-sectional area or volume. It should be allotted similar training time to other major muscle groups. Athletes participating in sports with odd impacts have the best gluteal development, implying that a range of joint actions and loading types are required for developing this muscle fully. The gluteus maximus has at least six regions within the muscle according to anatomical, EMG and MMG studies, with upper, middle, and lower regions being identified, as well as superficial sacral, deep sacral and deep ilium regions. These varied regions likely require different joint actions and/or loading schemes for complete development."

"text": "Tilt-Table Test Updated: Oct 13,2017What is a tilt-table test? If you often feel faint or lightheaded, your doctor may use a tilt-table test to find out why. During the test, you lie on a table that is slowly tilted upward. The test measures how your blood pressure and heart rate respond to the force of gravity. A nurse or technician keeps track of your blood pressure and your heart rate (pulse) to see how they change during the test. Quick facts Doctors use tilt-table tests to find out why people feel faint or lightheaded or actually completely pass out. Tilt-table tests can be used to see if fainting is due to abnormal control of heart rate or blood pressure. A very slow heart rate ( bradycardia) can cause fainting . During the test, you lie on a special table that can have your head raised so that it is elevated to 60 to 80 degrees above the rest of your body while a nurse or doctor monitors your blood pressure and heart rate. You may have an IV inserted to give medicine or draw blood."

The brain, the organ most susceptible to hypoxia, was placed at quite a disadvantageous location, making humans more susceptible than other animals to syncope, the clinical manifestation of reduced blood flow to the brain's reticular activating system. The challenge posed by upright posture is the vertical displacement of blood below the heart. A series of cardiovascular regulating mechanisms are activated to prevent an excessive decline in venous return and thus maintain arterial blood pressure and cerebral perfusion. In normal individuals, a carefully controlled balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the autonomic nervous system allows rapid adjustments to take place and maintain near-constant cerebral perfusion. Other more subtle mechanisms, such as volume and osmotic regulation as well as release of endogenous hormones, contribute to maintenance of arterial blood pressure during prolonged standing. 41 Given the complexity of the adjustments involved, it is not surprising that dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system accounts for a large number of clinical syncopal syndromes. NEURALLY MEDIATED SYNCOPAL SYNDROMESRelatively rare syndromes, such as pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy, or diabetic neuropathy, are characterized by chronic autonomic disturbances that lead to marked fluctuations in blood pressure and may cause syncope. The vast majority of patients with autonomically mediated syncope, however, do not exhibit diffuse chronic autonomic dysfunction but rather experience sporadic syncope on the basis of inappropriate or paradoxic reflexes. The best known of these syndromes are the vasovagal faint and the hypersensitive carotid sinus syndrome."

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.helicopter noise Efforts to reduce the noise generated by a helicopter's rotor blades. Contunico © ZDF Enterprises Gmb H, Mainz The idea of taking off vertically, making the transition to horizontal flight to the destination, and landing vertically has been for centuries the dream of inventors. It is the most logical form of flight, dispensing as it does with large landing fields located far from city centres and the inevitable intervening modes of travel—automobile, subway, bus—that flight in conventional aircraft usually requires. But vertical flight is also the most demanding challenge in flying, requiring more sophistication in structure, power, and control than conventional fixed-wing aircraft. These difficulties, solved over time by determined engineers and inventors, made the progress of vertical flight seem slow compared to that of conventional flight, for the first useful helicopters did not appear until the early 1940s. History One important characteristic of the history of vertical flight is the pervasive human interest in the subject; inventors in many countries took up the challenge over the years, achieving varying degrees of success. The history of vertical flight began at least as early as about 400 ce; there are historical references to a Chinese kite that used a rotary wing as a source of lift. Toys using the principle of the helicopter—a rotary blade turned by the pull of a string—were known during the Middle Ages."

Distal radius fractures were simulated by dorsal closing-wedge osteotomy and fixed with a custom-designed external fixator. A magnetic tracking device measured the carpal bone motions in several positions of dorsal angulation from neutral tilt to 30° dorsal tilt. Changes in carpal alignment showed different patterns between each specimen consisting of a spectrum from dorsal subluxation of the entire carpus to adaptive dorsal carpal instability (DISI deformity). Components of carpal bone motion were altered markedly at all positions of dorsal angulation of the distal radius. The severity of the DISI deformity and related carpal instability correlated well with the alterations of carpal kinematics during wrist flexion and extension, whereas dorsal subluxation alone had a poor relationship with changes in carpal kinematics. The amount of DISI deformity and the degree of dorsal angulation of the radius may be prognostic factors when considering whether to perform a corrective osteotomy of the distal radius.

For those that chart their basal body temperature (BBT), an implantation dip could be an early indication of pregnancy. As you know, ovulation can be detected on a basal body temperature chart by a slight shift in temperature midway through your cycle. By charting your BBT every day, you can detect the day you ovulate by looking for a slight temperature rise that will remain elevated after ovulation. While with a regular chart, your temps will remain elevated, with an implantation dip, your chart will show a one-day drop in temperature. Claim Your 20 Free Ovulation Tests – Click Here What is an implantation dip? An implantation dip is a luteal phase dip that will typically occur between 7 and 10 days past ovulation (DPO), and is an indication of implantation – an early sign of pregnancy when the fertilized egg implants itself. An implantation dip is an increase in your estrogen hormone so it lowers your temperature creating a dip in your basal body temperature (BBT). For many women, during implantation, they may also experience some spotting around this time called implantation bleeding."

Such fears are warranted, considering the fact that their biological clock is slowly winding down, evidenced by the aging of their uterus and the ever decreasing number of viable eggs in their ovaries. However, there are ways by which you can achieve mid-life pregnancy. CLICK HERE and Discover how “ Pregnancy Miracle” CAN HELP YOUFirst of all, if you have not been practicing a healthy lifestyle during your younger years, now is the perfect time to do so. Switch to a healthy diet, especially one that is rich in fruits and vegetables, and exercise regularly. Secondly, take positive steps to get rid of bad habits. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption not only puts your health at risk, it also reduces your chances of achieving mid-life pregnancy and may even cause complications in the unborn child. Thirdly, if you have not been visiting your doctor on a regular basis, it is important to make yearly appointments a habit. You will need to be assessed for any medical conditions that may affect pregnancy after 40. Such medical conditions include heart disease and diabetes."

The effect of air on baseball pitches Michael Richmond August 6, 2008 August 8, 2008 August 18, 2008 April 5, 2009 May 8, 2009This document is intended to give a brief, simplified view of the forces which act on a baseball as it makes its way from the pitcher's hand to home plate. I'm aiming for an audience of high-school students, so if you are looking for the really technical stuff -- like airflow over stitching and the motion of knuckleballs -- you'll be disappointed. But if you just want to get a feeling for the relative sizes of gravity, drag and the Magnus force, read on!Ground rules Pitching in a vacuum Moving against air resistance Adding spin to the ball Three simple pitches: fastball, change, curve How to \"\"disguise\"\" a pitch Typical curves are \"\"tilted\"\"The difference between pitches thrown by righties and lefties For more information Ground rules Let's make a few simplifying assumptions at the start. Air is uniform in density and temperature. At a temperature of T = 15 C, at sea level, at pressure of 101.325 k Pa, its density is 1.225 kg/m^3 . My code, and the results quoted below, use a value of 1.23 kg/m^3. That's within the range of values one can find for realistic conditions, but if I were starting again, I might choose 1.225. There is no wind The baseball is a smooth sphere (no stitches)The coefficient of drag is a fixed value, not dependent on speed or spin The spin on a pitch doesn't change during its journey from the mound to home plate The drag force and the Magnus force can both be represented by simple functions of the velocity squared of the ball In a real baseball game, some or all of these assumptions will be violated; but they will allow us to get a pretty good quantitative understanding of the gross properties of a curveball, for example."

"text": "What causes the seasons to change? The first answer many people give when asked why the Earth gets cold in the winter and warm in the summer is because the Earth’s distance from the sun can vary during its orbit. Astronomers have carefully measured the distance between the Earth and Sun and have discovered that the Earth is closest to the Sun in January, and farthest away in July. But wait a second! January is the peak of winter in the Northern hemisphere, and July is the peak of summer. There is another problem with the distance/season misconception: Why is it that when it is summer in the Northern hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern hemisphere? Something else besides varying distances from the sun must be causing the seasons. Download Project Add to Collection Grade Fourth Grade Subject Science Earth & Space Science Eventually, humans figured out that the varying seasons were caused by the earth’s tilt in combination with its orbit around the sun. You might have learned that the Earth spins like a top. It does not spin straight up and down, though—it spins at a 23 ½ degree tilt."

"text": "\"Chapter 9VESTIBULAR SYSTEMT he vestibular apparatus is the nonauditory portion of the inner ear. It serves three primary purposes in man: (1) it plays the dominant role in the subjective sensation of motion and spatial orientation of the head, (2) it adjusts muscular activity and body position to maintain posture, and (3) it stabilizes in space the fixation point of the eyes when the head moves, providing a stable image upon the retina. It is important to keep in mind that the vestibular apparatus provides to the senses and to these other control systems information about the position of the head in space. These sensors can detect a change in orientation of the head of 0.5° from the upright position, a change of 5° from the horizontal position, or a change of 15° from the upside down position. Because the vestibular apparatus provides this information only with respect to the head, it cannot accomplish postural adjustments on its own. Sensors in the neck and perhaps other postural muscles are extremely important in signaling to the central nervous system changes in the relationship between the head and the body. These two systems function in conjunction with the eyes to form a remarkable control system that maintains us in an erect position in a wide variety of stable and unstable postures. The importance of neck proprioceptors in controlling posture is illustrated in certain injuries incurred in automobile accidents. Whiplash injuries can lead to signs of vestibular malfunction, not because they damage the vestibular apparatus but because they interfere with the functioning of proprioceptors in the neck muscles. With these injuries, the central nervous system apparently knows where the head is, but cannot get an accurate position for the body."

"text": "\"WHAT IS SPUTTERING? Sputtering is a technique used to deposit thin films of a material onto a surface (a.k.a. \"\" substrate\"\"). By first creating a gaseous plasma and then accelerating the ions from this plasma into some source material (a.k.a. \"\" target\"\"), the source material is eroded by the arriving ions via energy transfer and is ejected in the form of neutral particles - either individual atoms, clusters of atoms or molecules. As these neutral particles are ejected they will travel in a straight line unless they come into contact with something - other particles or a nearby surface. If a \"\"substrate\"\" such as a Si wafer is placed in the path of these ejected particles it will be coated by a thin film of the source material. Although SPUTTERING as described above seems relatively intuitive, familiarization with the following terms/concepts will give a more comprehensive understanding of this process: Sometimes described as the \"\"fourth state of matter\"\" (the first three being solid, liquid, gas), a gaseous plasma is actually a \"\"dynamic condition\"\" where neutral gas atoms, ions, electrons and photons exist in a near balanced state simultaneously. An energy source (eg. RF, DC, MW) is required to \"\"feed\"\" and thus maintain the plasma state while the plasma is losing energy into its surroundings."

"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."

Genetics and molecular biology revolutionized the study of evolution. Pigliucci: Largely, I suspect, because of discoveries in genetics and molecular biology, even though it is true that biology throughout the early 21st century has been an exploding science in a variety of areas, ecology and evolutionary biology, for example. But largely I would think the genetics in the first and molecular and evolutionary biology especially in the second half of the 20th century clearly demonstrate that biology is very much relevant to everyday life. We now understand the basics of how human beings are put together. We are even getting to the point of being able to change how you are put together through genetic engineering, so that has definitely marked the century as the century of biology, even though it started out as the century of physics. We marveled at quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity, but it turns out that once in a while biology won in this century."

The purpose of this experiment is to observe the factors affecting the Photosynthetic rate of leaves, which is measured in two ways. Firstly changing the light intensity, this will determine the rate of increase or decrease in photosynthesis. Secondly changing the availability of nutrients (Concentration of CO2) to the plants, this will directly affect the photosynthetic rate. To test the light intensity, an elodea submerged in a beaker was placed at different measurement away from the plant, to see if oxygen (bubbles) is produced. To test the availability of nutrients, different molarities of Sodium Bicarbonate was diluted in 500 ml of water with Elodea, to see if rate of photosynthesis increased or decreased. The result shows, as light intensity increases, the rate of reaction will increase at a proportional rate until a certain level is reached. At a light intensity of 400 the average increase in rate of reaction was 746v."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Vacuoles are large membrane-bound compartments within some eukaryotic cells where they serve a variety of different functions: capturing food materials or unwanted structural debris surrounding the cell, sequestering materials that might be toxic to the cell, maintaining fluid balance (called turgor) within the cell, exporting unwanted substances from the cell, or even determining relative cell size. The cavity that is the vacuole is considered nonprotoplasmic and the contents classified as ergastic according to some authors (Esau, 1965). Vacuoles are especially conspicuous in most plant cells. Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called cell sap, the composition of which can vary (even between vacuoles in the same cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along concentration gradients into vacuoles. Vacuoles perform different roles in different organisms and these functions include the capture of food, the maintenance of internal hydrostatic pressure (store water), the containment of waste products, the maintenance of an acidic internal p H, the storage of small molecules and finally can enable a cell to elongate rapidly.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. I assume you mean \"\"unity in diversity\"\"? All forms of life have common unifying features yet are amazingly diverse. Both of these facts are a result of our DNA . Similarities exists when common ancestors are recent, diversity occurs when genetics and environment interact and natural selection occurs. Adaptations are features that make an organism particularly well suited to its environment. Unity in the diversity - DNA is the common language of life. Humans have about 50% of the genes found in a banana; 99 % in a chimp."

A: Quick Answer Nitrosomonas and iron bacteria are the most common examples of chemoautotrophic bacteria because they are able to produce energy through a chemical process, according to Dr. John W. Kimball. These organisms are unique because they are able to produce the energy they need without photosynthesis. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Does \"\"metabolism\"\" Mean? How Do Protists Get Energy? How Does Eubacteria Obtain Energy? Full Answer Most organisms on the earth need photosynthesis to survive and to produce the energy they need to function. Chemoautotrophic organisms do not need these processes because they are able to oxidize the electron molecules that they take in from their own internal environments in order to survive. They do not live on anything other than molecules and are able to sustain themselves through the use of these electrons. Chemoautotrophic bacteria are at the bottom of the food chain."

"text": "Integrative biology is the study and research of biological systems. It does not simply involve one discipline, but integrates a wide variety of disciplines that work together to find answers to scientific questions. For example, biological sciences, engineering, physical sciences, and social sciences are all incorporated to address specific biological issues. The interrelationships that occur between organisms and their environment are often studied through integrative biology. Specific research may involve genetics or environmental studies, yet the goal is always to solve a larger, biological problem. Although it always focuses on live organisms, the focus can vary from the smallest, molecular studies to broader studies of the biosphere. Those who study and make a career out of integrative biology have a wide range of knowledge. They can consider themselves behaviorists, geneticists, physiologists, ecologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists, just for starters. They can have a career in research or in academia. They can spend their time out in the field collecting data and specimens or teaching students in a university classroom."

The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration. [ 1] Everything must be completely water tight so that no leakage of water occurs. There are two main types of potometers used - 1)the bubble potometer (as detailed below), and 2)the mass potometer. The mass potometer consists of a plant with its root submerged in a beaker. This beaker is then placed on a digital balance; readings can be made to determine the amount of water lost by the plant. The mass potometer measures the water lost through transpiration of the plant and not the water taken up by the plant. A potometer is a piece of apparatus used to measure the rate of water loss from a plant (transpiration). The rate of transpiration can be estimated in two ways:1) Indirectly - by measuring the distance the water level drops in the graduated tube over a measured length of time. It is assumed that this is due to the cutting taking in water which in turn is necessary to replace an equal volume of water lost by transpiration.2) Directly - by measuring the reduction in mass of the potometer over a period of time."

"text": "\"Dodge Caravan Extended Warranties By Kate Miller-Wilson Dodge Caravan Source When you purchase a new minivan at a dealership, the salesperson may ask you to consider adding a Dodge Caravan extended warranty or service contract. Before you decide whether to add this expensive option to your purchase, it's a good idea to understand how warranties work, whether you really need one, the types of warranties on the market, and what you should pay for coverage. Doing your homework on this important automotive purchase will give you peace of mind as you drive your minivan in the coming years. Understanding Dodge Caravan Extended Warranties Before you begin considering warranties, you should know that all new Dodge Caravans come with a basic manufacturer's warranty. This original agreement covers the entire vehicle for the first three years or 36,000 miles you own it. This is called a \"\"bumper-to-bumper\"\" warranty, and it includes everything on the vehicle except wear and tear items like tires, brakes, and regular oil changes. Additionally, your new Caravan comes with a 5-year powertrain warranty, which covers items that make the car move, including the engine and transmission components, for up to 100,000 miles or 5 years. Extended warranties pick up where this original warranty leaves off. Do You Really Need One? You should base the decision to buy Dodge Caravan extended warranties on how long you plan to keep the vehicle."

Sadly, its plasticky interior and unremarkable performance prevented the boxy crossover from rising anywhere near the top with consumers. The 2013 Dodge Journey has grown into the vehicle it was meant to be all along thanks to the complete interior overhaul given to the Journey back in 2011, which also brought a massive suspension upgrade and a silky optional V6.

While its crossover styling looks conservative on the outside, the interior design and materials remain top-notch and the available 8.4-in touchscreen is arguably the one of the best in the business."

"text": "P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description Article by Dan Weller ASE Certified Master Technician Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles. Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. What does that mean? On electronically controlled transmissions, the Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) is located on the end of the transmission before the drive axles or driveshaft to read the speed of the output shaft which may be used to determine shift scheduling, torque converter engagement schedule and Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) inside the transmission. The Powertrain control module / Engine control module (PCM/ECM) has determined there is a malfunction with the OSS sensor. The PCM/ECM may substitute values based on other sensors to determine shift timing, torque converter operation and EPC pressure if the OSS sensor information is unavailable. The OSS sensor is also commonly used for the speedometer. Note: On some vehicles, the OSS sensor is inline with the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor, if there is a failure with the TFT sensor or associated wiring, the OSS sensor may malfunction as well. If there is another code associated with the TFT sensor as well as the OSS sensor, suspect a possible problem with either sensor, or the wiring in between This code is similar to codes P0721, P0722 and P0723Symptoms Symptoms of a P0720 trouble code may include: Delayed shifts Speedometer not working Check Engine Light illuminated (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)Potential Causes Causes of this DTC may include: Output shaft speed sensor Electrical wiring or connections Transmission fluid temperature sensor Diagnostic / Repair Steps Output shaft speed sensor - The OSS sensor operates by passing an electrical current through the sensor, as the reluctor ring or gear on the end of the transmission output shaft rotates, the voltage changes in relation to the speed. This is usually displayed as a frequency or a voltage that corresponds to the speed of the shaft rotation."

"text": "What is a Powertrain Warranty and Why Does it Matter?by Jason Unrau on June 02, 2016Share Tweet Pin Let’s face it - cars aren’t an investment. When you buy a car, it costs you money. When you register and insure it, you spend more. You take out your wallet to put gas in the tank and get routine maintenance performed. Vehicles are an expense from every angle and you’re going to want any assistance you can get with those expenses. Whether you’ve bought a new car, a used car with remaining warranty, or you’re in the market for a replacement vehicle, there’s no question that you’re going to consider the car’s warranty. After your car-buying experience, you want the assurance that there won’t be any major expenses for some time after you fork over your cash. Warranties aren’t as straightforward as they may initially seem. While the car you are looking at is advertised to have warranty, do you know what that actually covers? It could include: Accessory coverage Audio component warranty Battery coverage Comprehensive warranty (often referred to as new car warranty or “bumper-to-bumper”)Emissions warranty Powertrain warranty Roadside assistance Rust warranty We’re going to focus on the powertrain warranty as it’s often advertised as the warranty term with the longest coverage."

"text": "Share0Share0Tweet0+10Share Powertrain Warranty At A Glance Powertrain Warranty At A Glance Share What is a Powertrain Warranty? A powertrain warranty is a form of assurance offered by the manufacturer of an automobile. When a consumer purchases a vehicle, at the time of sale, he or she will be given a powertrain warranty, which will cover all or part of the powertrain of the underlying automobile. When a mechanical problem occurs to the powertrain the costs associated with repair or replacement are covered in the powertrain warranty—the manufacturer or dealer whole sold the automobile will pay to have the car fixed. That being said, what parts are covered and the extent of the repayment associated with fixing the car will vary greatly based on the powertrain warranty offered. What is the Powertrain? The powertrain consists of the engine, the transmission and the drivetrain; if any of these fundamental parts of the car are defunct or breakdown, the powertrain warranty will kick-in and provide the purchaser with a replacement or repair of the parts at no cost. In essence, the powertrain of an automobile is the system that is responsible for powering the car; the powertrain transfers energy to the transmission, which then transfers power to the wheels of the car. Basic Principles of a Powertrain Warranty: The powertrain warranty is an effective marketing tool that is used by producers and sellers of cars to entice buyers. When the powertrain was first offered, it was considered a great tool and benefit; however, modern-day car manufacturers now offer a powertrain warranty on the majority of their vehicles."

The Honda Odyssey is the least expensive and the Dodge Viper is the most expensive to insure.by Brady Klopfer on November 02, 2016Share Tweet Pin When it comes time to purchase a new car, the most important factor for most people is usually the price. But the MSRP on the window sticker is not the only thing to consider when thinking about price. The reality is that there are numerous factors to take into account when determining the cost of a vehicle. Yes, the retail price is the biggest factor, but maintenance cost, fuel efficiency, and insurance prices also play a big role. Many people think insurance prices are only affected by the age of the driver and their driving record. However, the vehicle itself plays an enormous part in calculating insurance costs. Vehicles that have high safety ratings and aren’t normally driven hard or fast have the lowest insurance rates. Not surprisingly, sports cars and other vehicles that encourage a lead foot have the highest insurance premiums. Insurance providers have data showing how frequently different vehicles are crashed and how severe the crashes are."

The idea of more coverage sounds nice, but is this a good deal? In fact, there really isn’t an easy or quick answer about whether to buy an extended warranty. But making a smart decision begins with understanding how certain warranties — mainly the bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties — work together and what they cover.» Buying a car? Find a car loan for good, fair or bad credit Included car warranties All new cars come with a variety of warranties. The most notable is the bumper-to-bumper “factory” warranty, so named because while it’s sold by the dealer, it’s backed by the carmaker. New car warranties remain in effect for at least three years or 36,000 miles. The bumper-to-bumper warranty covers repairs to everything on the vehicle except “wear items” — those parts that wear out such as tires, brake pads and windshield wipers."

Knowing what coverage major auto manufacturers offer under their factory warranty is critical. Whether it’s a bumper-to-bumper warranty, a powertrain warranty, or even corrosion, or emission warranty coverage, it’s important to know what’s covered on your make and model vehicle. Below is a list of auto makers with links to information as to the coverage they offer under their warranty. There is also a link to an interactive, visual representation of that warranty coverage.

All the 2011-2017 minivans came with the same 3.6 liter V6 engine, generating 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The six-speed automatic contributed to gas mileage ratings of 17 city, 25 highway. The vans had substantial improvements in emergency handling and stopping power, compared with the 2010s, and a switch that changed the transmission shift schedule for better mileage. It maintained a 4x8 cargo space (with all seats down). Suspension tuning came in Touring, Commercial ( Ram Cargo Van only), Performance, and R/T versions, with height-control rear shocks on all but one grade of the Touring suspension. On the Dodge, a 12 millimeter lower ride height, lower rolling resistance tires, a new spoiler, and reduced brake and rear bearing drag help gas mileage. Both models had LED taillamps, and a retuned suspension with different spring rates. Swivel ’n’ Go left, leaving more comfortable seats and captain’s chairs in the middle row. The new base Dodge matched the top of the line 2010 model in featuers, at a small increase in cost."

"text": "\"Extended Car Warranties: An Expensive Gamble The majority of buyers never use the coverage By Consumer Reports Last updated: February 28, 2014Looking for an easy way to save hundreds on your next new car and simplify the buying process at the same time? Skip the extended warranty. The dealer will probably try hard to sell you one, telling horror stories about the thousands of dollars it can cost to replace an engine or transmission. But the odds are you’ll never need the coverage, and even if you do, the money you’ll save in repairs won’t come close to what you paid for the added warranty. A recent Consumer Reports survey found that 55 percent of owners who purchased an extended warranty hadn’t used it for repairs during the lifetime of the policy, even though the median price paid for the coverage was just over $1,200. And, on average, those who did use it spent hundreds more for the coverage than they saved in repair costs. Among survey participants who used their policy, the median out-of-pocket savings on repairs covered by extended warranties for all brands was $837. Based on a $1,214 average initial cost, that works out to a net loss of more than $375. Factoring those who didn’t use their policy, the median savings was zero. And that may have something to do with why satisfaction with automobile extended warranties is among the lower rated of all products and services surveyed by Consumer Reports, and why only about a quarter of respondents said they would definitely get it again."

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles, including but not limited to Toyota, VW, Ford, Dodge, Honda, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Audi, Nissan, etc. Specific repair steps may vary depending on the model. A P0031 DTC (diagnostic trouble code) refers to the O2 sensor (oxygen sensor) located on Bank 1 in front of the catalytic converter. There is also an oxygen sensor behind the converter which is Sensor #2. This O2 sensor #1 may also be refered to as an air/fuel ratio sensor since on some vehicles it is. It detects the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas compared to the outside air and then vehicle's computer adjusts the air/fuel ratio going into the engine. The sensor is less effective when the exhaust gas temperature is low, so it includes a heater which is activated to help get better readings from the A/F O2 sensor. Essentially this P0031 code means that the resistance of the heater circuit is lower than normal. In most cases, that resistance level must fall below 0.8 A to trigger the DTC code."

The Ram Cargo Van is based on the popular Dodge/Chrysler minivans; but, unlike the Dodge Caravan C/V before it, the Cargo Van is more than “skin deep.” While the 2008 Dodge Caravan C/V had solid privacy panels or glass panels in back, it kept the regular door glass, covered by panels. It did not meet fleet expectations (or earlier standards). In 2013, the Ram C/V was quietly renamed “Ram C/V Tradesman” in preparation for the arrival of the Ram Pro Master vans. The base price at the end of 2014, for a 2015 model, was $22,000 even (plus destination). The Ram Cargo Van, in contrast, has a solid, window-free sliding door, and, equally important, a structural aluminum rear load floor. There are two flooring options: a flat, high-capacity surface, and one with tie-downs and “stow and go” type access to storage bins. During our test drive, when we noted the ride and handling were as good as the consumer vans, Ram’s Dave Elshoff said that it handled just as well under a full load. He said the company was going to buyers of traditional vans, and showing them the much better ride, handling, and amenities compared with vans engineered in years long gone: We’re able to get the highest cargo capacity for Class 1, then we actually improved that with launching a secondary optional floor that has bins built into the floor itself to give you another 10 to 15 cubic feet of space for storage."

"text": "\"We finally saw what the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon looks like at the New York Auto Show this year, and now we know how much it will cost. For a paltry $84,995 (plus $1,095 for destination), you, too, can snatch up one of the 3,000 Demons coming to the United States. If history is any indication, there will most likely be markups when the Demon hits dealerships this fall, especially in Canada, where only 300 examples will be available. For reference, while they're more road-oriented than the Demon, a 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat can be had starting from $64,195, while the latest Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R runs a cool $63,645. The Camaro ZL1, starts at $61,140, and its higher-performance 1LE variant starts at $69,995 including destination. However, none of these cars can touch the Demon for straight-line, quarter-mile supremacy, or even 0-60 mph prowess. To do that, you're looking at something ridiculously modified. It's a small wheelie, but it's a wheelie nonetheless. FCA US LLCNearly $85,000 may seem like quite an ask for Dodge, but the way I see it, it's giving Demon owners a bit of a break -- you can't get anywhere near this kind of performance for the money elsewhere. And on top of that, the serialized Demon Crate, with all the drag-strip goodies you could ever want (including narrow front-runner wheels, a performance powertrain module that unleashes all 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque from that 6.2-liter V8 engine, and a bunch of tools to put it all together), will be available to Demon customers for just $1 (actual retail value: $6,140)."

Potency and Efficacy Safety and Toxicity Liquid medications Drugs that should never be used past their expiration date Updated: April, 2017Many medications are very expensive and people hate to waste them. To avoid a costly visit to the doctor for a new prescription, many people have to consume expired drugs. Physicians and pharmaceutical companies, because of legal restrictions and liability concerns, will not sanction such use and may not even comment on the safety or effectiveness of using their products beyond the date on the label.1 What does Expiration Date mean? The expiration date, required by law in the United States, beginning in 1979, indicated the date the manufacturer guarantees the full potency and safety of the drug. At the time of the medication expiry date, the drug must be at least 90% of the original potency under proper storage conditions. The expiration date does not indicate a point when a medication loses potency and is no longer effective or becomes harmful. In general, drugs expiration date is 2-5 years from production date. FDA regulations do not require manufacturers to determine actual long-term drug potency and stability. For example, if a company chooses a three year expiration date, it does not have to test beyond that for prolonged effectiveness.2 Potency and Efficacy."

June 18th, 2014If you find yourself staring at a supplement’s expiration date that has come and gone, it might be tempting to throw it away. However, only a few circumstances warrant its disposal. Printed on a consumable’s packaging, expiration dates may or may not be an important indicator for evaluating consumption safety. Expiration dates are necessary for determining when it is safe to buy, cook and consume perishable foods like poultry; however, they may not be as vital for assessing the value of an herbal supplement. Before tossing your nutraceuticals in the trash, be sure to recognize the meaning and validity behind that expiry date. It is relatively easy to identify foods in a grocery store that might spoil if not consumed right away. Most medications don’t exactly spoil, but they might become less effective if the active ingredients break down. Hence, the lines become blurry when assessing the effectiveness and safety of an ‘expired’ drug or supplement. Drug Expiry Dates Passed in 1979, U. S. law requires drug manufacturers to stamp an expiration date on their products."

Why? Because drugs can become unsafe or lose potency over time, and the expiration date is as long as the drug company wants to claim its drug will be safe and have the correct potency. I was at the FDA when the rule was issued requiring drug companies to test their products to see how long they remained potent and safe, and then to include an expiration date on the product. Until the rule was issued, consumers had no idea when how long they could keep their drugs safely. At the FDA, we recognized that there clearly was a need for consumers to have some time frames for discarding drugs. All of us -- me included -- have drugs in our medicine chests that have gone beyond the expiration date. Continue Reading Belowyou might like Under the FDA rule, drug companies must test their drugs to be sure they are stable for as long a period as the company wants to claim the expiration date is. So if a drug is made in May 2000 and the company has conducted testing that the drug will remain safe and potent for two years, the expiration date is May 2002. The rule applies to both nonprescription drugs and prescription drugs ."

This is an everyday topic on the company I work. Pharmaceutical companies do lots of research in order to be able to apply to Regulatory Agencies for extension of the shelf life of their products. This is a very logical goal, as a product with 3 year shelf life will be preferred by buyers ( and by buyers I mean pharmacies and hospitals), reducing the possibility of expiring before it can be used. Because of this, we put the products we are testing at stability chambers that look like this: We set the temperature and humidity to the settings recommended by WHO for the region in which the product will be sold, and then we wait. Tests are done at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the testing begins to check for variations on the specifications, mainly potency ( which will tell us if the drug can still have the desired effect), dissolution ( which will tell us if after taking the drug the body will be able to dissolve the tablet and thus permit that the medicine gets absorbed), microbiology ( we don't want the product to get contaminated by potentially harmful bacteria), and degradation products ( more on this later) What I have discovered after some time is that getting any product to have a shelf life of 24 months is not that hard (Although it's not a piece of cake either). On the other side, getting products to last for more than 36 months can be very tricky, depending on the medicine that it contains. For example, Paracetamol or Acetaminophen made in the company I work ( every industry is different, and this should be noted, not all formulations of this product will have the same properties) have made it to 60 months shelf life without breaking a sweat. On the other hand, some capsule formulations react badly with humidity, and are not able to pass dissolution testing after 36 months ( capsules harden and do not dissolve on the stomach)."

These products are the technological advances that make life better. Pharmaceutical companies have the ability to develop new drugs that can prolong life and provide cures to diseases that affect people worldwide. Patents are especially important to these drug companies because they can guarantee profit and make all the time and cost put into developing their new drug worthwhile. A patent is an economic catalyst to these pharmaceutical companies who push to research new and beneficial drugs on the premise that they will be able to reap rewards by way of profits. Profits for patented pharmaceutical represent a reward that pharmaceutical companies earn through years of research and development and only then will they be able to profit from their work. The patent system allows drug companies to profit from patents by prohibiting any other company from marketing and selling an identical prescription drug. This system seems to be the best way to provide drug companies with the reward of potential profit for the research and development spending that in necessary to develop new and innovative prescription drugs. What is a patent? A patent is a property right to a product and in the case of pharmaceutical companies is usually in the form of a chemical formula that may not be duplicated by any rival company."

"text": "\"Home Contact Lenses FAQs » Why Contacts Expire Why Do Contact Lenses Expire? By Gary Heiting, ODLike This Page? Please Share!Next FAQ >< Previous FAQYou should discard soft contact lenses when they expire. Soft contact lenses are medical devices that must be sterilized and packaged in sealed containers before being sold to eye doctors and consumers. Since they touch the eye, they have the potential to harm the eye if they are contaminated. Just as packaged foods display an expiration date, so do packaged medical devices, as a consumer protection measure. Contact Lens Expiration Date Though soft lenses are sealed in an airtight container, it's possible that over time the seal of the container can become compromised, possibly leading to contamination of the saline solution and lens inside. The expiration date on the lens package indicates the last month and year that the container should be considered free from contamination and the lenses inside safe to wear. It is not unusual for the expiration date of a soft contact lens to be four years from the date the lens was manufactured and packaged. Generally, the expiration date on contact lens packaging is written in a yyyy/mm format."

It gives patients more control over their health information. It sets boundaries on the use and release of health records. It establishes appropriate safeguards that health care providers and others must achieve to protect the privacy of health information. It holds violators accountable, with civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed if they violate patients’ privacy rights. And it strikes a balance when public responsibility supports disclosure of some forms of data – for example, to protect public health. For patients – it means being able to make informed choices when seeking care and reimbursement for care based on how personal health information may be used. It enables patients to find out how their information may be used, and about certain disclosures of their information that have been made. It generally limits release of information to the minimum needed for the purpose of the disclosure."

"text": "Drug Expiration Dates — Do They Mean Anything? FDA study gets to the heart of medicine expiration and safety Updated: August 13, 2017 Published: November, 2003With a splitting headache, you reach into your medicine cabinet for some aspirin only to find the stamped expiration date on the medicine bottle is more than a year out of date. So, does medicine expire? Do you take it or don't you? If you decide to take the aspirin, will it be a fatal mistake or will you simply continue to suffer from the headache? This is a dilemma many people face in some way or another. A column published in Psychopharmacology Today offers some advice. It turns out that the expiration date on a drug does stand for something, but probably not what you think it does. Since a law was passed in 1979, drug manufacturers are required to stamp an expiration date on their products. This is the date at which the manufacturer can still guarantee the full potency and safety of the drug."

But that doesn't necessarily mean the medication has gone bad, says drug expert Joe Graedon — who has a consumer call-in show on public radio. Graedon says many state pharmacy boards require that medications get labeled with an expiration date of one year after the date of sale. So that's your pharmacist following state law or just being extra cautious. But Graedon says that one-year date on the bottle can cause real confusion. \"\" People look on the expiration date, and they fear that somehow those pills have gone bad or not going to work, and so they throw them away,\"\" he says. Then there's usually another expiration date: the manufacturer's expiration date, which can be two years later than the drug store date. It has some testing behind it — testing designed to see how long the medicine stayed at full potency when stored under high heat and humidity, like in your bathroom. What's The Right Date? Ilisa Bernstein of the Food and Drug Administration says consumers should pay attention to the one-year expiration dates — no exceptions. \"\""

Prostaglandins are produced in tissues in the body in response to trauma or injury and are part of a system that relays feelings of pain, redness and swelling and fever in the body.

State laws are different. if it is a contact lens prescription in every state but 6 it is good for 1 year so then it would be 2 year expired. If you are in WA, MN, NM, UT, OH, or FL contact lens prescriptions are good for 2 years. So even in those states your prescription is legally expired, so the doctor does not have to give you your prescription. And even if they did it would be void and no one would be able to fill it."

The pair's procurement sources in Asia show that Apple is preparing a supply of i Phone 7's that will be greater than that of the i Phone 6s but less than i Phone 6. The problem is that Apple's long-term sales trends are still in decline. The UBS team believes that 44% of i Phone users in 2015 will upgrade into the i Phone 7 through 2017. Typically, 50-60% of users with an i Phone two or more years old upgrade in a given year — so the upgrade trend for i Phone 7 is still down. Apple already reported that i Phone sales went into decline by 15% in the quarter ended in July . On top of that, search interest in the word \"\"i Phone\"\" is dropping off. On its own, that is merely cosmetic. But as people often begin their online shopping with Google, a decline in searches for i Phone could mean that fewer people want to buy the phone.

Procurement is commonly viewed as only being interested in cutting costs no matter the consequences for that department. There are some departments that are more resistant to Procurement than others – Marketing tops that list. Procurement has to overcome the obstacle of unwilling stakeholders before they can even begin their work. As a sourcing and procurement professional, I can say that it’s not all about the bottom line for us. While savings are important, we are equally interested in maintaining and/or improving the quality of the products and the relationships of your supply base. A solid Procurement team knows that savings must be sustainable – so for example, maybe switching suppliers will produce cost savings in the short-term, but if the product quality suffers and the company loses customers, the net profits will be lower. Savings can’t equate to lost profits. In general, Procurement has a bad reputation, but for those who understand the value that a successful sourcing initiative can bring to an organization, Procurement is viewed as an ally. It is essential for Procurement to win over the stakeholders they are working with; they will not be able to successfully do their job without it."

"text": "A procurement specialist is someone who has dedicated significant time and effort to become a subject matter expert in procurement. There are two types of procurement a candidate can specialize in: electronic and traditional. Procurement or purchasing is the process of finding goods or services for a business at an acceptable price that meets the business need. All businesses conduct procurement activity, but the total cost, efficiency, and effectiveness of this aspect of the operation varies widely. Almost all procurement specialists have completed the education program from the Procurement Association of America® (PAA®) to become a Certified Procurement Professional ® (CPP®). Admission to this program requires a specific combination of education and work experience. Most candidates have successfully completed degrees or diplomas in business administration, accounting, or finance. The difference between a degree or diploma is less important than relevant work experience, as both types of education are accepted by the PAA®. Work experience that is valuable to a procurement specialist is very procurement-focused. For a specialist who is focused on traditional procurement, experience in strategic sourcing, negotiating contacts, bid tendering, and related processes is very important."

With many IT organizations struggling with inflexible and expensive legacy systems, the promise of an on-demand, self-updating infrastructure offering all the necessary agility, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness seems somewhat like the search for the Holy Grail.

"text": "Related Articles1Duties of a Procurement Manager2Responsibilities of a Logistic Procurement Officer3What Are the Critical Elements of Procurement Management?4What Are the Duties of a Materials Manager? Procurement officers work in many types of public and private organizations, where they process purchasing transactions for services, equipment, stationery and other goods. They perform duties such as identifying the procurement needs of an organization, reviewing purchase requisitions, awarding supplier tenders and supervising the performance of contractors. While many procurement officers hold degrees in business and accounting, others – especially those working in the manufacturing industry – have engineering credentials. Ensure Consistency in Procurement It is the duty of the procurement officer to ensure all purchases are consistent with the needs of an organization. For example, when a hospital pharmacist submits a purchase request for 100 cartons of a respiratory drug, the procurement officer must ensure the facility indeed requires this amount before authorizing the purchase. He can do this by examining previous purchase requests to establish the average amount respiratory drugs the hospital uses within a given time frame. Negotiate and Award Contracts When an organization wants to buy goods through suppliers, the procurement officer invites suppliers to submit their bids along with price proposals. She might collaborate with other purchasing specialists in the procurement department to examine the bids and select the most competitive supplier. The procurement officer proceeds to negotiate better prices with the supplier, so that the company can enter into a contract that meets its financial goals."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An industry analyst performs primary and secondary market research within an industry such as information technology, consulting or insurance. Analysts assess sector trends, create segment taxonomies, size markets, prepare forecasts, and develop industry models. Industry analysts usually work for research and advisory services firms, and some analysts also perform advisory (consulting) services. Typically, analysts specialize in a single segment or sub-segment, researching the broad development of the market rather than focusing on specific publicly traded companies, equities, investments, or associated financial opportunities as a financial analyst might. The IIAR provides this official definition: [1]An information and communications technology (ICT) industry analyst is a person, working individually or within a firm, whose business model incorporates creating and publishing research about, and advising on how, why and where ICT-related products and services can be procured, deployed and used. That is not to say that industry analysts do not focus on specific market participants and their product and service portfolios, or that financial analysts ignore industries. Gideon Gartner, one of the industry analyst business pioneers, was a former financial analyst before launching the Gartner Group in 1979. [ 2] But industry analysts do research in the context of a specific sector or market segment, along with the competitive offerings of the other public and non-public companies that comprise the market. In many industries there is significant overlap between the work product of industry analysts and financial analysts. The information technology and consulting industries, however, are examples of industries where a significant proportion of important market participants are not publicly traded entities with readily available information and highly regulated disclosure requirements."

This article provides a 10-step approach to creating the project plan...not only showing how it provides a roadmap for project managers to follow, but also exploring why it is the project manager's premier communications and control tool throughout the project. Step 1: Explain the project plan to key stakeholders and discuss its key components. One of the most misunderstood terms in project management, the project plan is a set of living documents that can be expected to change over the life of the project. Like a roadmap, it provides the direction for the project. And like the traveler, the project manager needs to set the course for the project, which in project management terms means creating the project plan. Just as a driver may encounter road construction or new routes to the final destination, the project manager may need to correct the project course as well. A common misconception is that the plan equates to the project timeline, which is only one of the many components of the plan. The project plan is the major work product from the entire planning process, so it contains all the planning documents for the project. Related Article: The Project Plan: How Much Detail is Enough?"

Still, that’s not to say the IIo T will lead to overnight success for today’s industrial manufacturers and other members of the connected supply chain. Far from it. In a world where most companies are still using a mix of outdated legacy systems, new technology, and connected and unconnected assets, it will take a while for the IIo T to take full effect.

"text": "HR Magazine Results-Oriented Outsourcing Many companies are paying vendors based on bottom-line business outcomes. By Eric Krell Jun 23, 2014LIKE SAVE PRINT EMAILReuse Permissions For years, the primary advantage of human resource outsourcing (HRO) has been addition by subtraction: Companies gain by reducing costs, since outsourcing providers often perform payroll, benefits administration and other processes more efficiently than could be done in-house. However, many outsourcing experts suggest that future benefits of HRO will focus more on quality and business value. HR’s role in this equation will be to monitor vendor outcomes relating to service quality, employee satisfaction and other business benefits. Although the new math of HRO continues to emerge, there are indications that more outsourcing buyers and service providers want to measure, manage and, in some cases, price services based on outcomes rather than on simple process measures such as the number of transactions performed. “Many traditional HRO arrangements were governed by a ‘take your mess for less’ philosophy,” says Jeff Lupinacci, Moscow-based HR director of Kimberly-Clark International’s Central and Eastern Europe region. “ That doesn’t really buy you anything aside from some possible labor cost savings, which do not offer long-term value. ”For example, Christa Degnan Manning, senior vice president of global workforce and talent research at outsourcing analyst firm Hf S Research in Cambridge, Mass., points to recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) arrangements where performance is based on the retention rates of new hires after six months rather than on the sheer number of hires. The first measure tells the company if its outsourcer is finding the right candidates, while the second may or may not reflect the value of the service. “Clients should pay for what providers deliver,” notes Jill Goldstein, managing director of talent and human resources at Accenture. “"

"text": "Cap Relo Blog Real Estate Tiers in Your Global Mobility Program Posted by Amy Mergler on Fri, Sep 08, 2017Tweet Your relocation tiers can be as detailed and nuanced as you need them to be. Some companies find it useful to establish specific real estate tiers as part of their packages. Real estate tiers feature different options that may incentivize employees to sell their homes more quickly or give them a guarantee that they won't be stuck paying an old mortgage long after they've moved to their new location Guaranteed Buyout Program Sample real estate tiers may include executive level home sale assistance and a Guaranteed Buyout (GBO) program. Executive level home sale assistance is typically reserved for high-level executives. It involves providing a buyout offer after a home has been on the market for a certain length of time. This gives your high-level executives the assurance that they can confidently purchase a new home without the constant worry of whether their old home will ever sell. To offer a buyout option, your company needs to be prepared to be responsible for the costs associated with carrying a home in inventory until resold. This isn't the optimal situation, but it could be well worth it if it helps increase the productivity of a strategic employee. Buyer Value Option Program For mid-level employees, you may consider offering a Buyer Value Option (BVO) program, which offers similar advantages to a GBO once an outside buyer has been identified. This option often focuses on providing employees with sufficient marketing support they need to sell their homes."

Posted by Don Mc Canne MD on Thursday, Oct 28, 2010This entry is from Dr. Mc Canne's Quote of the Day, a daily health policy update on the single-payer health care reform movement. The Qot D is archived on PNHP's website. Medicare “Accountable Care Organizations”Shared Savings Program – New Section 1899 of Title XVIIICenters for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)Office of Legislation Preliminary Questions & Answers The Affordable Care Act (ACA) improves the health care delivery system through incentives to enhance quality, improve beneficiary outcomes and increase value of care. One of these key delivery system reforms is the encouragement of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). ACOs facilitate coordination and cooperation among providers to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries and reduce unnecessary costs. This document provides an overview of ACOs and the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Q: What is an “accountable care organization”? A: An Accountable Care Organization, also called an “ACO” for short, is an organization of health care providers that agrees to be accountable for the quality, cost, and overall care of Medicare beneficiaries who are enrolled in the traditional fee-for-service program who are assigned to it. For ACO purposes, “assigned” means those beneficiaries for whom the professionals in the ACO provide the bulk of primary care services."

As we age, our mobility and physical strength diminish and many aspects of a home that were once functional become difficult. Home modifications can be as simple as changing water faucet handles from knobs to levers or as comprehensive as the construction of an accessory apartment or elder cottage on the property. To understand the options available to pay for home modifications, it is helpful to understand some common terminology. Assistive Technology, Adaptive Technology or AT for short, refers to any tools or devices that enable independence for persons with disabilities, regardless of age. Environmental Accessibility Adaptations and Environmental Modifications are commonly used Medicaid phrases which simply mean home modifications. ECHO Units is an acronym for Elder Cottage Housing Opportunities. These are small, livable cottages designed specifically for seniors that can be placed temporarily on the property to allow an elderly person to live near but not in their family's home. They are also referred to as Accessory Units or less formally as Granny Flats. Universal Design is a phrase that means a product or building was designed with the needs of both the disabled and people without disabilities in mind."

The overall developmental cost of the home-grown fighter, which remains a critical operational necessity despite still being in the making after 30 years, currently stands at Rs 17,269 crore. Then, the production cost of each Tejas will conservatively be around Rs 220 crore. If as per the existing plan, IAF goes in for 120 fighters and the Navy for 50, it adds up to Rs 37,440 crore. The defence ministry till now has approved orders for 20 Tejas jets in \"\"initial operational clearance (IOC)\"\" configuration for Rs 2,813 crore for IAF, and another 20 in final FOC configuration for Rs 5,989 crore. IAF currently has 10 ageing Mi G-21 squadrons (each with 20-21 jets) and four Mi G-27 ones. They are to be replaced by six squadrons of Tejas and another six under the almost $20 billion MMRCA (medium multi-role combat aircraft) project for which 126 French Rafale jets are under consideration. Confirming what TOI had reported last year, defence minister A K Antony gave some indication of all this in Parliament on Wednesday by holding that the developmental cost of Tejas, including the IAF and naval variants, stands at Rs 14,033 crore as of now. But he did not include the Rs 2,839 crore spent on trying to develop the Kaveri aeroengine, which has failed to materialise. So, India is going to power its fighters with American GE-404 engines (two Tejas Mark-I squadrons), and the more powerful GE F-414 engines (four Tejas Mark-II squadrons)."

"text": "Non-technical skills Non-technical skills (NTS) are social, cognitive and personal skills that can enhance the way you or your staff carry out technical skills, tasks and procedures. By developing these skills, people in safety-critical roles can learn how to deal with a range of different situations. There is a growing appreciation within the rail industry of the importance of NTS. They form an important part of competence and competence management because they can improve the management operational risk by helping to manage threats and errors when they occur. They can also help safety critical staff to be aware of their own performance and to how to improve. The diagram to the right shows how NTS form and integral part of competence, alongside someone’s technical and functional skills. Why are non-technical skills important? There are seven NTS that are important to the role of the Driver which include Situational Awareness, Conscientiousness and Communications. This is the full list of Non-Technical Skills, with some background information on them. The RSSB Human Factors team also support the development and integration of NTS and have recently published a guide on the steps necessary to successfully integrate NTS into your organisation."

Easton ST (Slim Technology) small-diameter arrows are a patented Easton technology. ST enhances the penetrating performance of arrows. Laboratory testing shows that when kinetic energy is held constant, arrow diameter is the determining factor in arrow penetration. With this understanding, Easton engineered ST as the next big advancement in hunting arrows. ST small-diameter arrows provide significant increases in penetration and less wind drift than conventional-diameter carbon arrows, due to its innovative micro-diameter and reduced surface area."

Soil temperature (4–40°C), water content (40–80% field capacity), and p H (4–10) were varied, and various amounts of Ca CO 3, Ca (OH) 2 and Fe-EDDHA were added to the soils. The suppressive soil had higher populations of actinomycetes and bacteria than the conducive soil that had higher populations of filamentous fungi and yeasts. The suppressive soil reduced germination of chlamydospores by 41±4%, and more than halved disease severity in banana plantlets ( Musa spp., AAA, Cavendish subgroup, cv. Williams). Soil water content, from wilting point to 80% field capacity, had little effect on germination of chlamydospores in either soil. In contrast, a water content of 40% field capacity promoted disease severity in both soils, compared with wetter soil. Increasing the temperature from 20 to 30°C in the conducive soil increased chlamydospore germination by 1.9 fold, but in the suppressive soil it had a much less effect (1.2 fold increase)."

This weekend Universal continues its march on the domestic B. O. with the highly anticipated R-rated sequel, Ted 2. Will the studio beat itself at the B. O.? Will the dinosaurs bow out of the top spot and make room for the foul-mouthed teddy bear? Stay tuned. Warner Bros. also has the family doggie film Max in play. Disney’s Inside Out came in at $90.44M on 3,946 playdates making it the second best Pixar bow of all-time behind Toy Story 3 ($110.3M). Heading into the weekend, the studio didn’t see it coming.

More than just pretty pictures, the dozens of terabytes of data collected has provided insight into the universe, from objects as close as the moon to the most remote galaxies, with incredible photos of supernovas and nebulas in between. Below we explore the history of the telescope and its discoveries, plus Hubble facts and links to some of the orbiting observatory's best pictures. First, we take a look at an iconic photo. This Hubble picture is widely recognized; it is the view of the so-called Pillars of Creation within the Eagle Nebula. [ See a gallery of recent Hubble pictures . ] This 1995 Hubble Space Telescope image of the 'Pillars of Creation' is probably the most famous astronomical image of the 20th Century. Taken in visible light using a combination of SII/H-alpha and OIII filters, it shows a part of the Eagle Nebula where new stars are forming. The tallest pillar is around 4 light-years high.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Initial operating capability or Initial operational capability (IOC) is the state achieved when a capability is available in its minimum usefully deployable form. The term is often used in government or military procurement. [ 1]The United States Department of Defense chooses to use the term Initial Operational Capability (versus initial \"\"operating\"\" capability) when referring to IOC. [ 2] For a U. S. Department of Defense military acquisition, IOC includes operating the training and maintaining parts of the overall system per DOTMLPF, and is defined [3] as 'In general, attained when some units and/or organizations in the force structure scheduled to receive a system have received it and have the ability to employ and maintain it. The specifics for any particular system IOC are defined in that system’s Capability Development Document (CDD) and Capability Production Document (CPD). ' The date at which IOC is achieved often defines the in-service date (ISD) for an associated system. Declaration of an initial operating capability may imply that the capability will be developed in the future, for example by modifications or adjustments to improve the system's performance, deployment of greater numbers of systems (perhaps of different types), or testing and training that permit wider application of the capability. [ 4] Once the capability is fully developed, Full Operational Capability may be declared. [ 5]For example, the capability may be fielded to a limited number of users with plans to roll out to all users incrementally over a period (possibly incorporating changes along the way). The point at which the first users begin using the capability is IOC, with FOC achieved when all intended users (by agreement between the developer and the user) have the capability."

"text": "\"A Brief History of the Hubble Space Telescopehome bibliography chronology reports and articles linksby Gabriel Okolski For more than 15 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has been providing scientists and the public with spectacular images of deep space. One of the most technologically advanced pieces of equipment that humans have put into orbit, Hubble has helped researchers make important discoveries about our universe, ranging from planets and stars to galaxies and cosmology. Thanks to incredible efforts of scientists and engineers, the telescope has also given astronomers insight into the history and fate of our universe. Why a Space Telescope? Although the Hubble Space Telescope has been in orbit since 1990, its origins date long before that. The first serious concepts of a space-based optical observatory began just after World War II. In 1946, Lyman Spitzer, a professor and researcher at Yale University, argued that a space telescope would offer great advantages over ground-based observatories. His paper, entitled Astronomical Advantages of an Extra-Terrestrial Observatory, explained that the Earth's atmosphere blurs and distorts light coming from stars. Even the most precise and advanced telescopes on the ground cannot escape this phenomenon, but a telescope in orbit can. Furthermore, the atmosphere blocks X-rays emitted from high-temperature phenomena in stars and other objects, so they cannot be detected by instruments on the Earth's surface."

Based on two single nucleotide polymorphisms present in the IGS region, a PCR-based diagnostic tool was developed to specifically detect isolates from VCG 01213, also called tropical race 4 (TR4), which is currently a major concern in global banana production. Validation involved TR4 isolates, as well as Foc isolates from 19 other VCGs, other fungal plant pathogens and DNA samples from infected tissues of the Cavendish banana cultivar Grand Naine (AAA). Subsequently, a multiplex PCR was developed for fungal or plant samples that also discriminated Musa acuminata and M. balbisiana genotypes. It was concluded that this diagnostic procedure is currently the best option for the rapid and reliable detection and monitoring of TR4 to support eradication and quarantine strategies. Introduction Banana and plantain ( Musa spp.) are among the most important crops in the world, serving as a staple food and source of income in many developing countries. Banana is also the world’s leading fruit crop and consequently an important export commodity for several agricultural-based economies in Latin America, Africa and Asia, and represents the fifth most important agricultural crop in world trade ( Aurore et al., 2009 )."

[ 1] Low dose combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are used by more than 120 million women worldwide and advising users of the non-contraceptive benefits is exceedingly important. The quality of evidence for individual benefits of COCs is variable. Some other benefits to consider are the following: The risk of uterine fibroids is reduced by 17% for every 5 years of use of the combined oral contraceptive pill. [ 2] Numerous studies have shown that all types of COC reduce the risk of benign breast disease, the reduction in risk being confined to proliferative forms of benign breast disease (fibrocystic disease and fibroadenoma) and in particular those without atypia. [ 3, 4]There is epidemiological evidence of a 50% reduction in the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) with a possible protection against bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the protection disappears if the COC is discontinued, but, this may be offset by a two fold increase in chlamydial infections - however, the risk of STI's varies with the population studied and is related to sexual lifestyles and behaviour. [ 5]High-dose combined pills reduce the risk of functional ovarian cysts (FOCs) and protection against FOCs is well documented, however, whether low-dose preparations offer the same degree of benefit is unclear. Because follicles start growing in the pill-free interval, the continuous use of COCs will be more effective in preventing follicular cysts than the usual 21-/28-day regimen. In the Oxford Family Planning Association study, corpus luteum cysts were reduced by 78% and follicular cysts by 48%. [ 6] A recent Cochrane review concluded that the use of COCs for treatment of FOCs and those cysts that arise during treatment of infertility does not offer any advantage over observation and does not hasten the resolution of FOCs.

It’s also known as PRL or lactogenic hormone. Prolactin is mainly used to help women produce milk after childbirth. It’s important for both male and female reproductive health. The specific function of prolactin in men is not well-known. However, prolactin levels have been used to measure sexual satisfaction in both men and women. A prolactin level test can reveal other issues caused by the hormone. Find an obstetrician, gynecologist, or endocrinologist near you. » Purpose of the test Why is the prolactin test done?

Specialty Oncology A prolactinoma is a benign tumor ( adenoma) of the pituitary gland that produces a hormone called prolactin. It is the most common type of functioning pituitary tumor. [ 1] Symptoms of prolactinoma are too much prolactin in the blood ( hyperprolactinemia ), or those caused by pressure of the tumor on surrounding tissues. Prolactin stimulates the breast to produce milk, and has many other functions such as regulation of mood. Hence prolactin levels are usually higher during pregnancy and after childbirth. After delivery of a baby, a mother's prolactin levels come down to normal a few weeks after breastfeeding is discontinued. Each time the milk is dispensed, prolactin levels rise; this process may cycle to maintain milk production. In males it is responsible for the sexual refractory period after orgasm and excess levels can lead to erectile dysfunction. [ 2]Based on size, a prolactinoma can be classified as a microprolactinoma (<10 mm diameter) or macroprolactinoma (>10 mm diameter)."

Hyperprolactinemia is a condition in which a person has higher-than-normal levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood. The main function of prolactin is to stimulate breast milk production after childbirth, so high prolactin levels are normal in pregnancy. Prolactin also affects the levels of sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) in both women and men. Prolactin is made by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized organ found at the base of the brain. What causes hyperprolactinemia? One common cause of hyperprolactinemia is a growth or tumor on the pituitary gland called a prolactinoma. The tumor produces high levels of prolactin. These tumors can be large or small and are usually benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Large tumors can also cause headaches, vision problems, or both."

"text": "Chapter 17. The Endocrine System108 17.3 The Pituitary Gland and Hypothalamus Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain the interrelationships of the anatomy and functions of the hypothalamus and the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland Identify the two hormones released from the posterior pituitary, their target cells, and their principal actions Identify the six hormones produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, their target cells, their principal actions, and their regulation by the hypothalamus The hypothalamus–pituitary complex can be thought of as the “command center” of the endocrine system. This complex secretes several hormones that directly produce responses in target tissues, as well as hormones that regulate the synthesis and secretion of hormones of other glands. In addition, the hypothalamus–pituitary complex coordinates the messages of the endocrine and nervous systems. In many cases, a stimulus received by the nervous system must pass through the hypothalamus–pituitary complex to be translated into hormones that can initiate a response. The hypothalamus is a structure of the diencephalon of the brain located anterior and inferior to the thalamus ( Figure 1 ). It has both neural and endocrine functions, producing and secreting many hormones. In addition, the hypothalamus is anatomically and functionally related to the pituitary gland (or hypophysis), a bean-sized organ suspended from it by a stem called the infundibulum (or pituitary stalk). The pituitary gland is cradled within the sellaturcica of the sphenoid bone of the skull. It consists of two lobes that arise from distinct parts of embryonic tissue: the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) is neural tissue, whereas the anterior pituitary (also known as the adenohypophysis) is glandular tissue that develops from the primitive digestive tract."

"text": "\"About Pituitary Question: What is the Pituitary gland? So your mind is racing and your heart is pounding - so many questions - so much to take in - where to start? Lets start with the basics. A typical dictionary definition of \"\"Pituitary gland\"\" reads something like: The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is a small ductless gland of the endocrine system that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. It is about the size of a pea and is located at the base of the brain in a small, bony cavity covered by a tough and inflexible membrane. The Endocrine System The endocrine system is an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, tissue function, and also plays a part in determining mood. The field of medicine that deals with disorders of endocrine glands is endocrinology, a branch of the wider field of internal medicine. Endocrine glands regulate your body chemistry by releasing hormones directly in to the blood system, which stimulate or inhibit activity in the target cells. They are like remote-control devices for your body's many cells and systems."

And while that’s a big market full of dubious claims, nothing can compare to the marketing chicanery of male virility/sexuality boosters. There are supplements out there that promise to increase your libido while also upping your testosterone. There are over the counter testosterone supplements and prescription supplements. There are supplements that market themselves as T-boosters, while also touting themselves as an aphrodisiac. And then there are companies that claim to have developed a testosterone pill that contains the triumvirate of male-enhancing properties: T-boosting, libido-enhancing, and even fertility-increasing. These supplement makers sometimes throw in an additional claim of muscle gain as well. For guys who are mainly looking to increase their testosterone, these extra benefits can seem like the icing on the cake, which makes these supplements highly marketable.

We literally are getting at least 4+ threads a day with questions regarding tren . I figure we need a good solid tren thread here for newbies and experienced people alike where we can all come to a singular source to get information on it. I absolutely love tren, and have been using it for 5 years straight. Testosterone and trenbolone are the ONLY two anabolic steroids I ever use, and ever will use. So I figure that my experience and knowledge on it should lend to answering people's questions and curiosity concerning it. This thread isn't a trenbolone profile thread. It is more along the lines of how to use it practically in the real world, and what to expect out of it, and how you can make it a versatile compound. A 'profile' is merely an article that provides the raw data and statistics on a compound as opposed to actual into on real world practicality. I'd like to start off by pointing in the direction of the actual Tren profile for the purpose of familiarizing yourself with the compound first: http://www.steroid.com/Trenbolone.php I know that upon first glance tren seems to freak out and scares everyone (it did with me when I first read about it)... but then again, upon first glance didn't everything in the AAS world scare you?"

"text": "Prolactinemia: Excess Quantities of Lesser-Known Hormone Causes Broad Range of Symptoms By Marisa Cruz, MDSo what is prolactin anyway? Although we’re all aware that hormonal changes take place during and after pregnancy that allow women to breastfeed, most people are not familiar with the specific hormones involved and what happens when this hormonal system breaks down. Prolactin [pro-lakten] is the name of the main hormone involved in the production of breast milk, and it is made by a tiny gland called the pituitary that sits at the base of your brain. In men and non-pregnant women, the level of prolactin in your bloodstream is kept at low levels by another chemical produced by the brain called dopamine. How would I know if my prolactin level is high? High levels of prolactin in women who have not yet gone through menopause can cause breast enlargement, absent menstrual periods and production of breast milk. The most common cause for increased levels of prolactin (also called hyperprolactinemia [hi-per-pro-lak-ti-ne-me-a]) is pregnancy, and in pregnancy, these symptoms are entirely normal! Outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, however, young women should generally not be skipping periods, leaking breast milk, or having problems with fertility. If you develop these symptoms, you should think about visiting your doctor to have your prolactin level checked. In both men and postmenopausal women, the symptoms of excess prolactin are not always obvious."

"text": "\"hypopituitarism Also found in: Dictionary, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Hypopituitarism Definition Hypopituitarism is loss of function in an endocrine gland due to failure of the pituitary gland to secrete hormones which stimulate that gland's function. The pituitary gland is located at thebase of the brain. Patients diagnosed with hypopituitarism may be deficient in one singlehormone, several hormones, or have complete pituitary failure. Description The pituitary is a pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain, and surrounded by bone. Thehypothalamus, another endocrine organ in the brain, controls the function of the pituitary gland by providing \"\"hormonal orders.\"\" In turn, the pituitary gland regulates the many hormones thatcontrol various functions and organs within the body. The posterior pituitary acts as a sort of storage area for the hypothalamus and passes on hormones that control function of the musclesand kidneys. The anterior pituitary produces its own hormones which help to regulate severalendocrine functions. In hypopituitarism, something interferes with the production and release of these hormones, thusaffecting the function of the target gland."

How to deal with Raynaud's syndrome this winter Recurring anaemia5 December 2014Question I have just been diagnosed with high prolactin levels and I can't seem to get a straight answer from anything that I have researched. What exactly does it mean for me? Will it cause problems in relation to having children in the future? I would be very grateful if someone could help me with my query. Answer I'm sorry that you have had difficulty getting a straight answer about this finding. I suspect that I know why and for the same reason why my reply may be less precise than you would wish. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which lies under the brain in the skull. Increased levels of prolactin will occur for several reasons."

"text": "\"Print Email Prolactin What is Prolactin? Prolactin is a hormone that is secreted by your pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland found below the brain. Prolactin is found in both men and women and is released at various times throughout the day and night. As the name suggests, the role of prolactin is to stimulate milk production in pregnant women. It also enlarges a woman's mammary glands in order to allow her to prepare for breastfeeding. Prolactin and Infertility Prolactin doesn't just cause your body to increase milk production - it also affects your ovulation and menstrual cycles. ( This is why women who are breastfeeding rarely get pregnant). Prolactin inhibit two hormones necessary for ovulation: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (Gn RH). When you have high levels of prolactin in your blood (a condition called hyperprolactinemia), you will not ovulate and this will result in infertility. This anovulation can also cause you to have irregular cycles."
