United States National Academies

**United States National Academies** or **National Academies** comprising
- _National Academy of Sciences_ (NAS)
- _National Academy of Engineering_ (NAE)
- _Institute of Medicine_ (IOM)
- _National Research Council_ (NRC)
serve collectively as the scientific national academy for the United States.  The NAS, NAE, and IOM are honorary membership organizations, with a total membership of over 6,000 scientists, engineers, and health professionals.  New members for each organization are elected annually by current members, based on their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.  The NRC is called the "working arm" of the Academies, which serves to collect, analyze, and share information through studies and reports.

The National Academies produce independent recommendations and policy reports by enlisting top scientists, engineers, health professionals, and other experts (not limited to those in Academies membership) to address important scientific and technical problems.

The National Academies do not perform original research; rather they provide independent advice. Federal agencies are the primary financial sponsors of the Academies' work; additional studies are funded by state agencies, foundations, other private sponsors, and the National Academies endowment. The external sponsors have no control over the conduct or results of a study, once the statement of task and budget are finalized.

Oedema

**Oedema** (U.S. **edema**) is **dropsy**. It was usually called _dropsy_ until about the middle of the 20th century.

It is a medical condition, and a sign or symptom. It is swelling caused when fluid leaks out of the body's capillaries into the tissues. The fluid builds up and gets trapped in the tissues around the leaking blood vessels. This causes swelling.  If there is enough swelling, oedema can be seen from outside of the skin.

Oedema can happen in any part of the body  However, it is easiest to see in the arms and legs, including the hands, ankles, and feet. Oedema in the arms and legs is called _peripheral oedema_.

_Pulmonary oedema _is fluid in the lungs. Pulmonary oedema is dangerous because having fluid in the lungs makes breathing difficult. If pulmonary oedema gets bad enough, a person can drown in the fluid.

Oedema in the abdomen is called _ascites._

## Signs and symptoms

Some of the signs and symptoms of oedema are:
- Swelling or puffiness right under the skin
- Skin that looks stretched or shiny
- Changes in skin color
- Aching arms and legs
- Stiff joints
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Blood pressure and pulse rate that are higher than normal

Oedema in the lungs (pulmonary edema) can make it hard to breathe or cause chest pain.

## Causes

Many things can cause oedema. When oedema is mild (not very serious), the most common causes are:
- Eating too much salt
- Staying still for long periods of time
- Pregnancy
- Side effects from some medication

However, oedema can also be a sign of serious disease. Diseases that can cause edema include:
- _Congestive heart failure (CHF)._ In CHF, the heart does not pump hard enough to send blood throughout the body. This can cause blood to back up in the arms and legs (causing peripheral oedema). It can also cause fluid to back up in the lungs (pulmonary oedema).
- _Liver damage (cirrhosis)._ Liver damage can cause fluid to back up in the abdomen (ascites) and the legs.
- _Kidney_<span>_ problems._ The kidneys' job is to remove extra fluid from the blood. If the kidneys are not doing this job, the fluid builds up in other parts of the body.</span>
- _Deep vein thrombosis (DVT). _A DVT is a blood clot inside one of the deep veins in the body, usually deep inside the legs. Oedema in the legs is one sign of DVT.
- _Varicose veins_.''

## Treatment

If oedema is not very serious, it often goes away on its own. If a person has mild oedema in an arm or leg, they can often make oedema go away quicker by keeping the arm or leg raised above the level of the heart.

If oedema is more serious, it is treated with medicines called diuretics. These are medicines which help the body get rid of extra fluid by urinating it out.

If oedema is caused by a disease, that disease needs to be treated.

Karl von Frisch

**Karl Ritter von Frisch** (20 November 1886 – 12 June 1982) was an Austrian ethologist who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1973, together with Niko Tinbergen and Konrad Lorenz.

His work was on the communication and senses of the European honey bee. He was the first to translate the meaning of the waggle dance. By doing the dance when they come back to the hive, honey bees indicated where they have found nectar, and other details.

His theory was originally disputed by other scientists and greeted with skepticism, but by the time he got the Nobel Prize almost everyone agreed he was right.

## Bee perception

**Sense of smell:** Frisch discovered that bees can distinguish various blossoming plants by their scent, and that each bee is “flower constant”.<sup>45–51</sup>

**Polarization pattern:** Light scattered in a blue sky forms a pattern of partially polarized ultraviolet light. This depends on the position of the sun, and is invisible to human eyes. Each lens unit of a compound eye has a UV receptor, and a UV filter oriented differently in each of these units, so a bee is able to detect this polarization pattern. A small piece of blue sky is enough for a bee to recognize the pattern changes occurring over the course of a day. This provides not only directional but also information on the time of day.

**Variations in the daytime position of the sun:** Karl von Frisch proved that variations in the position of the sun gave bees with a tool for navigation. They use this capability to get information on the progress of the day deep inside a dark beehive. This makes it possible for the bees to convey up-to-date directional information during their waggle dance, without having to make a comparison with the sun during long dance phases.

**Internal clock:** Bees have an internal clock with three different synchronization or timekeeping mechanisms. If a bee knows the direction to a feeding place found during a morning excursion, it can also find the same location, as well as the precise time at which this source provides food, in the afternoon, based on the position of the sun.<sup>137–147</sup>

## Waggle dance

A simple dance called “round dance” is used for nearby flowers. It means "there is a feeding place near the beehive at 50 to 100 meters". Blossom scent would also be picked up.

The waggle dance proper is used to give the directions to a source further away. Other bees follow her as she dances, keeping in touch with their antennae. The dance takes a figure of eight, with variations such as angle and vigour of wiggles. The communication is apparently quite effective.
