12 March 1938, Hitler Seizes Austria
Nazis in Austria had wanted to follow in Hitler’s footsteps and gain power. The second time they conspired the current Austrian chancellor got wind of their plan. He decided his best move would be to negotiate with Hitler and try to make sure Austria remained independent. Unfortunately his best move turned out to be his worst, and Hitler simply bullied him into giving up and appointing sever Austrian Nazis to the Government. Eventually Hitler forced him to resign. Hitler advanced into Austria and was met with a welcoming reception. He appointed a new government, and had Schuschnigg put in jail.

Similarly, to calculate the GRD of NDVI sequence of the growing season and the monthly mean air temperature (April--August, March--August, and February--June), we use monthly cumulative precipitation (May--September, April--August, March--July and February--June), monthly mean relative humidity (May--September, April--August, March--July, and February--June) and monthly cumulative sunshine duration (May--September, April--August, March--July, and February--June), respectively. By comparing NDVI in the growing season with the GRD of the same comparative factor at different moments, the lag time of the NDVI to the climatic factors is discussed in the growing season.

are relatively stable. The NDVI in the growing season reaches its maximum in 2012, which may be related to the increase of air temperature and precipitation in the year. In 2016, only air temperature shows positive anomaly. Although relative humidity changes greatly, the anomaly of precipitation and sunshine duration is small, and the rise of air temperature reduces the suppression of vegetation activity in the growing season. In 2003, there is a decrease of air temperature, a significant decrease of sunshine duration, a significant increase of precipitation and relative humidity. The decrease of air temperature and sunshine duration led to suppression of vegetation growth. The NDVI in the growing season of 2007 is lower than that in 2006, and the air temperature and the sunshine duration of themusic.

disease that is passed between humans and animals. He emphasized, "between animal and human medicine there are no dividing lines---nor should there be." William Osler (1849--1919) worked with Virchow and was interested in the linkages between human and veterinary medicine.James H. Steele (1947)Founded the Veterinary Public Health Division at Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recognizing that good animal health is important for good public health and played an important role in the public health response to diseases such as rabies, brucellosis, salmonellosis, Q fever, bovine tuberculosis, and leptospirosis.Calvin Schwabe (1927--2006)Made many important contributions to veterinary epidemiology over his career. He established Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at the Veterinary School, the first department of its kind at a veterinary school. In 1964 he wrote a monograph (*VeterinaryMedicine and Human Health*) in which he proposed that veterinary and human health professionals should collaborate to combat zoonotic diseases and coined the term 'One Medicine' which emphasizes the similarities between human and veterinary medicine.The Wildlife Conservation Society, 29 September 2004Brought together a group of human and animal health experts for a symposium at Rockefeller University in New York City. Attendees of this symposium, titled "Building Interdisciplinary Bridges to Health in a 'Globalized World'," discussed the movement of diseases among humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. The symposium set 12 priorities, so called the Manhattan Principles, to combat health threats to human and animal health and called for an international, interdisciplinary approach to prevent disease and formed the basis of the 'One Health, One World' concept.Ronald Davis, MD, President | {

from more than 120 countries and 26 international and regional organizations attended the International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. During this meeting, the joint strategic framework was officially released recommended One Health as a feasible approach and a strategy for fighting avian influenza and other infectious diseases, one that focuses infectious disease control in areas where animals, humans, and ecosystems meet.Lonnie King, then Director of CDCs National Center for Zoonotic, Vector-Borne, and Enteric Diseases, 2009Established a One Health office at CDC. The office was created as a point of contact for external animal health organizations and to maximize external funding opportunities. Since that time, the role of the One Health office has expanded to include supporting public health research that furthers theOne Health concept, facilitating the exchange of data and information among researchers across disciplines and sectors.The United States Agency for International Development (2009)Launched the emerging pandemic threats (EPT) program. The program\'s purpose is to ensure a coordinated, comprehensive international effort to prevent the emergence of diseases of animal origin that could threaten human health. The EPT program draws on expertise from across the animal and human health sectors to build regional, national, and local One Health capacities for early disease detection, laboratory-based disease diagnosis, rapid disease response and containment, and risk reduction.The Public Health Agency of Canada\'s Center for Food-Borne, Environmental, and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, 16--19 March 2009Hosted the One World, One Health Expert Consultation in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

During the meeting, key recommendations emerged for actions that countries could take to advance the concepts of One Health.International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza in Hanoi, Vietnam, 19--21 April 2010A total of 71 countries and regional bodies, along with representatives from international organizations, development banks, and other stakeholders, attended the International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza in Hanoi, Vietnam. With the experience of the H1N1 pandemic and highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, participants confirmed the need to bring greater attention to the links between human and animal health to address threats that happen when there isclose interface between animals, humans, and the ecosystem. At the conclusion of the meeting, participants unanimously adopted the Hanoi Declaration, which called for focused action at the animal--human--ecosystem interface and recommended broad implementation of One Health.The FAO, the OIE, and the WHO, April 2010Recognizing that managing and responding to EIDs is complex and requires multisectoral cooperation, the FAO, the OIE, and the WHO joined together to publish the concept in April 2010. This paper proposes a long-term strategic direction for international collaboration aimed at sharing responsibilities and coordinating global activities to address health risks that arise when humans, animals, and the ecosystem interface.CDC, 4--6 May 2010CDC in collaboration with the OIE, the FAO, and the WHO hosted a meeting in Stone Mountain, GA, titled "Operationalizing 'One Health': A | {

Policy Perspective -- Taking Stock and Shaping an Implementation Roadmap." The meeting, which came to be known as the 'Stone Mountain meeting,' was designed to define specific action steps to move the concept of One Health forward. Participants identified seven key activities to advance the One Health agenda. These activities formed the basis of six workgroups which focused on cataloging and developing One Health trainings and curricula, establishing a global network, developing a country-level needs assessment, building capacity at the country level, developing a business case to promote donor support, and gathering evidence for proof of concept through literature reviews and prospective studies.The World Bank and the United Nations, July 2010The World Bank and the United Nations released the 'Fifth Global Progress Report on Animal and Pandemic Influenza.'The report reiterated the findings of the delegates at the International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza in Hanoi. It also emphasized the importance of adopting a One Health approach to sustain a momentum in pandemic preparedness. It also recommended that rather than focusing on controlling avian influenza through emergency initiatives, countries and regional bodies should build One Health capacity to respond to a broad range of emerging and existing disease threats.European Union, August 2010The European Union published the 'Outcome and Impact Assessment of the Global Response to the Avian Influenza Crisis' report.

Overview of One Health Central and Eastern Africa {#s0025}
=================================================
One Health Central and Eastern Africa (OHCEA) is a network of schools of public health and veterinary higher education institutions involving countries of the Eastern and Central Africa region, a region that includes the Congo Basin commonly considered to be one of the 'hot spots' for emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. These countries are DRC, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda with the regional secretariat located at the Makerere University School of Public Health in Kampala, Uganda. OHCEA has increased its reach to West Africa, with the addition of Cameroon and Senegal. The current institutional membership of OHCEA by | {

Agenda vision for "a world safe and secure from global health threats posed by infectious diseases" ([@bib7]).
OHCEA was inaugurated on 17 October 2010 "at a historic meeting facilitated by USAID with participants drawn from the seven schools of public health, seven faculties of veterinary medicine," two American partner universities (Tufts University and University of Minnesota) in addition to 'RESPOND project staff.' At the beginning, OHCEA had only two staff, 'a Program Manager and an Administrator,' and its office was 'a room at the Makerere School of Public Health' ([@bib7]). Understandably, "the challenge then was establishing structures at the Secretariat and at the six country offices manned by dedicated Focal Persons and Administrators, with support from a Fixed Obligation Grant from the RESPOND project. One of the immediate achievements was bringingthe School of Public Health at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Tanzania since 2005. In 2011 the two schools expanded its membership to schools of veterinary medicine in the region to form what became known as OHCEA. The mission of LIPHEA was leadership in management of disasters and personnel training. The activities of LIPHEA were funded by USAID through the Higher Education until 2009. The main US partner in the LIPHEA team was the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health ([@bib7] [@bib13] [@bib9]). Inspired by the evolution of One Health, LIPHEA invited schools of veterinary medicine in the region to join hands in the formation of OHCEA which gradually moved from disaster preparedness and response to OHW strengthening in participating countries. Based on opportunities | {

available within the EPT program, OHCEA quickly became engaged with OHW strengthening in the participating countries.
With the formation of OHCEA the total number of schools was expanded to 14 (7 being from the public health area and 7 from the veterinary area) spread into six countries from Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, DRC, and Rwanda. The US partners in the OHCEA network are the University of Minnesota and Tufts University as strategic partners. OHCEA became a registered legal entity in Uganda with a secretariat based in Kampala, Uganda, and worked with it to found Country Coordinating Committees, as well as complete OHCEA\'s initial scopes of work, including conducting a gap analysis in each participating country, finalizing reporting policies and procedures for a 10-year strategic plan, and mapping programmatic resourcessustaining continuous improvement of health and well-being of humans, animals, and ecosystems through multidisciplinary research, training, and community service. From its regional base, OHCEA strives to be internationally recognized for its intellectual leadership and contributions to One Health as indicated by its collaboration with international partners. OHCEA member institutions and the human, veterinary and wildlife health systems they represent will be demonstrably better trained in the One Health approach and linked through integrated institutional education, communications, operational protocols, and policies. Curricula that are jointly designed and tested by these partners will be in place and utilized by undergraduate students in universities (preservice personnel) as well as those already employed and working (in-service personnel) ensuring the longevity of OHCEA\'s efforts into the future.

The results from the first week 1 month after the injury is the so-called "stroke" condition, while the results during the last week, when the animal recovers the motor function is referred to as "rehab."
Each day, the beginning of the wide-field imaging session was triggered by the start of the training session on the M-Platform. To detect the movement of the wrist of the animal in the low-light condition of the experiment, an infrared (IR) emitter was placed on the linear slide, and rigidly connected to the load cell and thus to the animal\'s wrist. Slide displacement was recorded by an IR camera (EXISare active when there is also a force recorded, and conversely, there is low activation when the slide is still. It is also worth mentioning that, although the two muscles receive the same inputs from the descending stimuli, their activation levels are different due to the feedback circuitry of the spinal cord and the activity of muscle spindles, which are different for the two muscles. Thus, the output of the spinal cord circuitry is not a mere filtering of the input signals, but it also takes into account the feedback from the embodiment, which can change during the experiment. This effect underlies the importance of embedding neural circuits in a proper, realistic embodiment. The comparison between the simulated slide position and the recorded one shows that, thanks to | {

The emplacement age of the granite porphyry has been well constrained, concentrated at 110\~113 Ma^[@CR19],[@CR20]^ which is broadly consistent with the time of the gold mineralization. We therefore infer that the gold mineralization is spatio-temporally and genetically associated with the granite porphyry. The emplacement of the granite porphyry and subsequent pulses of volatile release and gas streaming resulted in breccia pipes and fractures. When the ore-bearing fluids exsolved from the granite porphyry, they migrated into the breccia pipes and fractures, leading to the intense alteration and precipitating abundant ore minerals due to water-rockand epithermal gold deposits along eastern margin of NE China.

He later supplemented his petition, and asked for an accounting and settlement of the community, for which he received a money judgment. The question before the Courtfornix. The first inclusion ROI was placed in the axial view over the AC where it appears in red due to its extension across the hemispheres. In order to capture the AC of both cerebral hemispheres, the ROI was drawn on all slices where the AC was visible, which usually varied between one and three slices. However, since fornix and parts of the internal capsule travel through this area, many extraneous fibers were captured when tractography was seeded from the first ROI. To exclude these extraneous fibers, a second inclusion ROI was placed in the midsagittal plane and was drawn over the existing ROI in such a way that it extended the border of the first ROI by two voxels.

applied it to a less intensive treatment over 22 years. Though the court noted that "merely intermittent" services were not continuous, the plaintiff in that case had continued to see doctors only at one hospital. Espinoza thus cannot rely on Wehrman, for he began seeing outside physicians back in 1980. Otto applied the doctrine even though plaintiff saw outside doctors, where he did so only at defendant's request and under defendant's supervision again a wholly different situation from Espinoza's.
It is worth examining the reasons underpinning each of the two situations in which the notion of continuous treatment has been employed. As for the first, it is predicated on the idea of negating presumed discovery an idea not in issue where (as *211 here) actual knowledge exists.[9] AsWe welcome the following nine new editorial members.

A large window of buccal bone was removed with a burr and the tumour was exposed in part. It was noted to vary in consistency from bony hard areas to soft tissue components. Resection was carried out in a piecemeal fashion, with osteotomes and curettage. The tumour filled the antrum and breached the nasal mucosa medially, however the orbital floor was intact. Primary closure was achieved. Post-operative histopathological diagnosis confirmed a lesion composed of numerous anastomosing bony trabeculae between which were islands of fibrous tissue with giant cells and osteoid formation.

Rothenberg has written extensively about the bond between humans and our surrounding natural world, a world we share with myriad other creatures. An earlier paper that he co-authored, "Investigation of Musicality in Birdsong," published in Hearing Research touched upon aspects of the same topic explored in the recent Royal Society publication. Rothenberg's book Why Birds Sing is an in-depth look at the subject that challenges neuroscientists to seriously consider music as a tool to helpinformation for the study.

Introduction {#Sec1}
============
The HPSS Long-Term Excellence Award recognizes significant contributions to the profession through mentoring and service. Candidates must be 15 or more years from their terminal degree on January 1, 2019. Tom met the eligibility criteria for the 2020 award as he earned his Ph.D. from the Harvard Department of Statistics in 1991. Having spent most of his career at UCLA, he serves as a Professor in the UCLA Department of Biostatistics and UCLA Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences. Along the way Dr. Belin served for a year as Acting Chair of the Department of Biostatistics and currently serves as the departmental Vice Chair. In research, Dr. Belin is internationally known for contributions to address practical problems in incomplete data. His methodological developments have often drawn onmodels incorporating latent structures and Bayesian estimation strategies, and in addition to health-related applications he has made lasting contributions to the literature on record linkage. He has secured grant funding from a wide range of government agencies and private foundations, and his 165 peer-reviewed publications, which include numerous contributions to top-tier journals, have garnered more than 15,000 citations. In leadership and service, after being a member of several organizing committees for the flagship conference of HPSS, he co-chaired (with Arlene Ash) the 2005 installment of the ICHPS series, and he has subsequently been a member of ICHPS advisory boards. Through his many other service contributions in academia and professional societies, he is known as a bridge builder across institutions, communities, and individuals. Within the ASA, he has held | {

leadership positions in the Survey Research Methods Section and the Biometrics Section, and he has served on both the ASA Census Advisory Committee and the ASA Committee on Professional Ethics. His professional contributions have been recognized by a diverse array of organizations (including the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the International Center of Mental Health Policy and Economics, and the UCLA Public Health Student Association), and recognition for his role in developing the Community Partners in Care project on dissemination of evidence-based strategies for depression in under-resourced communities included the Team Science Award from the Association for Clinical and Translational Science and American Federation for Medical Research, the Annual Award from the Community-Campus Partnership for Health, and the UCLA Communityshortcut by walking across the creek when the ice was thick enough, although I learned the hard way that sometimes it was not! My parents met as undergraduates at the University of Michigan and stayed there for advanced degrees (business and law for my father, education for my mother). My father got a job with a law firm in Des Moines, and my mother was a teacher for a few years before my brother Jon came along. I was born in 1964, during the time my father was one of about a dozen lawyers who served as counsel to the Warren Commission.

In a major turning point for our whole family and for me in particular, she died of breast cancer before reaching the age of 50, which happened during the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school. Among her many legacies is a center in her name at the University of Iowa focused on gifted education and talent development, and one of the activities I have especially enjoyed is being a member of the center's Advisory Committee, whereconnection in my role as our department's Admission and Financial Aid Chair that he went to camp there, too. (He had mentioned that he was from St. Louis, at which point I noted that I used to go to summer camp with a lot of kids from St. Louis, and we closed the loop moments later.) I also remember being very proud as a high-school senior to be one of the guys invited by our school's all-female, state-champion synchronized swimming team to participate in the spring synchronized swimming show. It always drew laughs after the team members had performed a series of creatively artistic and technically demanding routines to see a few dozen guys, mostly jocks, go through a few coordinated steps eventually leading to a show-stopping somersault. | {

for me. I would meet with him every quarter, and I also was mentored by Herb Solomon, who allowed me to take an independent-study course on statistics and the law with him after I had him as a professor in one of the core courses. Along the way, I had a number of interactions with Sally Morton (Winner of HPSS Long-Term Award 2018), who was then a Ph.D. student---when I had plans to go overseas to the London School of Economics, she offered insights from her experience of having studied there. Although I didn't get to know him until he later became a professor of mine (and teammate on the Harvard Statistics Department intramural basketball team), I also would say hi to Hal Stern, who like Sally waswas working on calibrating false matches in computer matching related to census undercount estimation. It also happened that in the fall of 1986, when we started, the Red Sox were in the World Series, playing the N.Y. Mets in the series famous for their Game 6 collapse when the ball went through Bill Buckner's legs. Andrew and I went down to Kenmore Square to watch Game 3, the first in the series played in Boston, in one of the Fenway Park bars; the Mets hit a leadoff home run on their way to 4 runs in the top of the first inning and a wipeout victory, and more memorable than the game was the short course in human diversity we received from the people crammed into the same | {

statistics grew out of a broader interest in public policy; also part of the backdrop is that I had spent a summer during college in Washington, DC and liked it very much. My first summer job at the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1987 grew out of a tip from Don Rubin about people in Washington to contact. I would credit Nat Schenker, who went to the Census Bureau after studying with Don at the University of Chicago, with helping me get a job the next summer on the Census Bureau's Undercount Research Staff, which was led by Howard Hogan. I had met Nat when he gave a presentation in a seminar course Don was offering during my first year on statistical issues in census-undercount estimation, which isto members of an advisory panel to the Secretary of Commerce, who was supposed to make a decision in the spring of 1991 on a possible statistical adjustment of the census. The panel had its origins in a lawsuit by large jurisdictions pressing for census adjustment and was comprised of four individuals identified by the plaintiffs and four chosen by the defendants. At the JSM session, with hundreds of people in attendance, William Kruskal, a choice of the lawsuit defendants, had offered damning criticism of proposed adjustment methods, while Eugene Ericksen, Kirk Wolter, and Leo Estrada, all choices of the plaintiffs, had offered damning criticism of an unadjusted census.

Alan Zaslavsky had been a mentor to me, first while he was finishing his Ph.D. studies and then when he became an Assistant Professor in the Harvard Statistics Department.

In each district of the state, 50 primary sampling units (PSUs) were selected which were villages in rural areas and census enumeration blocks (CEBs) in urban areas. In rural areas villages were selected by probability proportional to size (PPS) systematic sampling and in the second stage households were selected by systematic sampling. For urban areas first wards were selected by PPS systematic sampling, in the second stage CEBs by PPS sampling and households in the third stage by systematic sampling. All ever married women aged 15-49 years from sampled households were the respondents. The Madhya Pradesh sample of the DLHS-3 datato use maternal health services in comparison with professional women and unemployed.
Women living in urban areas tended to use the maternal health care services more than those living in rural areas. Levels of the utilisation of maternal health services were low in the districts with high percentage of tribal population. The utilisation of safe delivery services was 11% higher in the districts having a ratio of PHC to population of more than 30,000. No substantial difference in the utilisation of ANC and PNC based on this variable was found. The univariate odds ratios showed a lack of association between the ratio of PHC to district population and the use of ANC, and mothers\' occupation (professional or production worker) and the use of PNC.

Each trial was initiated by the actor pressing a green button on the middle bottom of screen. The actor made a choice by touching one of the three options presented on the screen. A food reward (an apple piece, approximately 1 cm^3^) was given according to the assignments of the options and their functions. The three options consisted in rewarding only the actor (selfish (S)), both participants (prosocial (P)) or only the recipient (altruistic (A)). Feeder activation was accompanied by two distinctive buzzer sounds with slight temporal delay to indicate clearly which feeder was giving the reward. Throughout the procedure the recipient sat in front of a grey screen. After the completion of the experiment (by the end of the third session) the chimpanzees changed positions: the actorBligh is of course most famous as the commander of the Bounty.

Six years ago, on assignment from Dutch concert hall Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, Nico Muhly, the National’s Bryce Dessner, and Sufjan Stevens began working on what would become a project of near-endless proportions. By 2012, their songs about the solar system were debuted in the Netherlands, reprised at Brooklyn Academy of Music, and live workshopped at Dessner’s MusicNOW Festival in Cincinnati. The trio performed with percussionist James McAlister while visual artist Deborah Johnson’s fluorescent animations projected onto a black orb floating overhead. For all intents and purposes, it seemed like a piece strictly meant for a live setting—until a few tweets and interviews confirmed that Planetarium remained a work in process, much to the delight of fans who’d closely tracked the endeavor.

Barack Obama on Friday responded to news that Donald Trump would finally acknowledge that he was born in the United States with chagrin that this was still even an issue eight years after he won the presidency, five years after he released his birth certificate, and 55 years after he was born in Hawaii.
“I was pretty confident about where I was born,” Obama said. “I think that most people were. My hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that.”
Trump on Thursday refused to answer questions about whether he believed Obama was born in the United States in an interview with the Washington Post, before his campaign released a factually inaccurate statement with Trump claiming credit for putting the issue to bed.

Structural support for freeways, bridges and large buildings usually requires placement of a series of concrete piles, where pile is defined as a slender, deep foundation unit, entirely or partially embedded in the ground. The concrete pile is reinforced by a steel cage of rebar. The purpose of the pile is to transfer heavy axial or lateral loads to a deep stratum below the ground surface. To test the quality of the concrete piles, testing tubes with testing probes are inserted prior to the pour of concrete. The prior art involved ad hoc methods for securing the testing tubes to the rebar cage. Our improvement on the prior art involves uniform method for quickly and safely snapping a first pre-formed device onto each of the tubes, connecting thePerspectives {#sec1}

3.36-acre tract in the Greer Overland Transportation Facility to be used by Nordic to build a 35,000-square-foot cold storage facility capable of handling more than 8 million pounds of cargo.
In discussions and meetings in November 2012, the Ports Authority and its representatives presented plans for the inland port to Nordic, the company said in its suit.
The authority assured Nordic it could remain on the leased land even with the inland port project and the company’s operation of the Greer facility wouldn’t be affected, according to the suit.
At the same time, Nordic told the Ports Authority it would be willing to sell its leasehold interest but would require at least six to nine months to search for a new, suitable location, the suit said.
The authority responded “by assuring Nordicthe periods of organized and supervised strength training, irrespective of the time of the season.

the Polish pharmacist Enoteus Sedler used it in his book „Analecta Pharmacognostica". Otherwise, there are more names in the world today for this scientific discipline. Thus, in the French speaking area, the term „Materia Medica" is often encountered, and in Germanic countries, pharmaceutical biology. Sometimes this is called the chemistry of plants, chemistry of the drugs, or phytochemicals ([@ref3]). The use of plants in the treatment originates from the distant past. The herbage cultivation skill developed in all nations and has been preserved, somewhere more, somewhere less, as traditional or folk therapy, as popularly called, to this day ([@ref5],[@ref6], [@ref7]). Pharmaceutical activity exists since there is a man. The oldest tribes were dealing with it. ***Old-Slavic nations*** treated the patients with broken hands and feet with the rootinternal medicines, and on the plate are listed the kitchen salt, myrrh, thyme, figs, dew, milk, leather and turtle armor). The peoples of ***Mesopotamia*** knew the culture of figs from which they made wine. Figs juices were used for grooming and coating of drugs. They also raised the onion, which was eaten for hygienic reasons. The flax seeds were used as a cure. Barley was used to prepare beer. Cypress, cedar and oak leaves were also used as a medicine. In ancient Egypt, the cult of respect for the dead and the baptismal process of the dead have developed, which have remained preserved to this day.

millennia are compiled, and can be divided into two parts: "Huang ti so ven", where simple questions and answers try to come to life truths and "Lingshu" on acupuncture. The first book, Pent-Sao, describes herbs and medicines (3000 years old), and is practically the first known pharmacopoeia in the civilization of mankind. In this pharmacopoeia, systematization of medicinal plants and other medicinal substances was performed. The earliest period of ***Indian medicine*** (about 1500 to 500 BC) is the Vedic period, as all the knowledge was contained in the sacred poems Vedas. In the oldest Ring-Vedi and somewhat younger Atharva-Vedi is reflected the religious-magical medicine: illnesses are considered devils that need to be expelled with a magical ritual. Dietetics in practical medicine were at a high level. Indians werewell aware of the effects of many herbs. Among medicines the most commonly used were medications for: vomiting, sneezing and cleansing the bowels. ***Greek and Roman culture*** has provided the basis for the development of all sciences, including pharmacy. The ancient Greek empiricism was closely related to religion. The priests of Asclepius were both doctors and pharmacists. Respect for God's doctors spread from Trike to Tesalia to all of Greece, and in 293 BC, during the plague, also to Rome. Its temples were called "Asklepieon", and there were around 185 of them. They were usually associated with a hospital and a health resort where the treatment was performed by prayers, sacrifices, religious rites, suggestions, diets, and medicines. The most famous Greek representative of pharmacy and medicine development is | {

as well as signs of their credibility and the way they are used. In particular, he described the significance of very strong substances, and he also mentioned anti-inflammatory drugs. "Materia Medica" is written in Greek language and consists of five parts describing fragrant substances, oils, ointments, trees and their juices, resins and fruits, animals, wax, milk of various animals, grains, vegetables, grass, roots, seeds, wine, mineral and metal materials.
Dioskurides has also used various types of fruits (such as plum-tree resins used against stones) as a medicine. It also used the darnel (Lolium temulentum), Fenugreek (Foenum graecum), mallow, trumpet, water mint, coriander, garlic, red pepper, mustard, anemone, ivy, rosewood (Chelidonium), agaric (Agaricusalbus), Liquiritia, Erythrea centaurium, akantus, ononis, tragacanth, sage (Salvia) and many others. Sea squill (Scallamaritima) was already knownas a "waterborne drug", or diuretic. Dioskurides used stone mills to grind the medicines. During the reign of Goth in Italy (493-553) Dioskurides "Materia Medica" was translated into barbarian Latin.
**Galen** based on the knowledge of ancestors, continued to improve health care in the Roman Empire. Galen used Dioskurides "Materia Medica", which he supplemented and wrote 11 books on "Mixing and Characteristics of Simple Medicines". About 20 years later he wrote the book "Compilation of drugs according to their nature" and "Compilation of medicines by site on the body ". These books later on came through the Vizant to Arabs, and they served them as a basis for their pharmacology.

**Rhazes**, the largest Arab physician, contributed to the development of ***Arabic medicine*** and pharmacy ([@ref16]). His full name is Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zechariah al-Razi (850-923). He allegedly wrote over 200 books. Among them are books from biology and medicine. His book "Liber medicinalis Almansoris" and his large encyclopaedia book "Continens", in which the texts of antique and Arabic doctors are collected, is important for the history of pharmacy. His significant book is also "Antidotarium", a doctrine of compilation and preparation of medicines. By extracting medicinal herbs, he got the extract and called it a "slave" and used it to make the pills. They called **Avicenna** the "Prince of doctors" ([@ref12], [@ref16]). His Arabic name was Abu Ali al-Hussein ibn Abdulah ibn Sina. Avicenna has drawn his knowledgefrom Indian medicine. His most important book is known in the world as "Canon Medicinae" "Al-Qanun Fit-tib". This book describes simple and complex medications, general therapy, cleansing agents, enemas, lining, blood discharge and leeches. His books are also translated into Latin. He also wrote "Kitab Al-Shifa" ("Book of Healing"), "Al-Adwa Al-Kalbijja" ("Medicines for the Hearth") and "Kitab Al-Kulandz" ("Book of Pain in the Intestines"). In his books, he mentioned about 760 drugs and medicinal preparations, their properties, manner of action and indications ([@ref1]). Already in that period he described the iris, eye skin, eye adjustment mechanism as well as the position of the muscle in the occipital pit. It is also believed that he was to first to perform distillation. He was also involved in the production of | {

"Hortulus" describing plants used for healing), **Constantinus Aphricanus** (introduces Europe with an Arabic culture of treatment by translating their books) and **Valerius Cordus** (written the first textbook of medicine and deals with the creation of the first pharmacopoeia).
The development of medicine and healthcare, during the early Middle Ages, was based on book in churches and monasteries, and later the medical schools (most notably in Salern) are being opened where doctors and pharmacists were trained. It is important to note the year1240 in which was prohibited to a doctor from performing a pharmaceutical duty, which separates the doctors and pharmacists for the first time. The authority has begun to monitor the medication, and the price for a particular medicinal product was determined for the first time. For the firsttime such a provision was made in the area of southern Italy (at the beginning of the 13th century the first pharmacy was opened in this area), and later similar provisions were implemented throughout Europe.
Since the middle of the tenth century, Arab medicine has come into contact with Europe and has a strong influence on it. Many scientists have become interested in alchemy. In the coming centuries, Italy continues to be the center of development of both health care and pharmacy, and in 1488 the first book of pharmacy was published by **Saladin**.

of Europe. At the beginning of the sixteenth century a new era of medicine began, it is considered that the flowering of medicine in Italy occurred. Medicine is back to the study of the books of medical classics such as Galen and Hippocrates. The first botanical gardens are founded in Italy. In 1545, the first department of pharmacognosy was established in Padua, while in Germany **Brunfels, Bock and Fuchs** published a "New Kreuterbuch" book containing illustrations of German flora plants. These three authors are considered to be founders of pharmacobotany ("fathers of botany").
With the expansion of the conquest of America, **Monardes** has issued a decree of American soil flora. **Clusius**, one of the founders of European botany (Leiden, Germany), has founded a botanical garden that has been preservedwithin the oldest botanical garden in Europe.
Pharmaceutical botany continued in the ***17^th^ century*** as well. Scientists were interested in plants primarily as in drug. Various books on flora have been written in some provinces, usually with pictures. Botany terminology and systematics developed. **Joseph Pittonde Tournefort** (died 1708), a botanist professor in Paris, systematically organized plants in 22 groups. This system was valid until Linne's era. **Basilius Bessler**, a pharmacist from Nürnberg (died 1629), issued the first botanical atlas. **Marcello Malpighi**, a professor in Bologna, published his herbal anatomy in 1675 ([@ref5]).
In 1638, Count de Cinchon, a woman of the Peruvian pothole, was cured of malaria after using the crust of quinine. When her personal physician brought this drug to Europe, it had great success as a drug for | {

malaria and fever. Many new pharmaceutical dispensations have been released in Europe, mostly new editions of older books. The pharmacy laboratory has changed very much. Pharmacist had to purchase many devices of old alchemist laboratories for making chemical remedies. In the pharmaceutical laboratories of major cities, natural scientists often met. For example, in Oxford, England, naturalists, who met at the home of the pharmacist **Cross**, founded a scientific society. The Academy of Sciences in Paris has its beginning (1666) at the home of pharmacist **Geoffroy** where French naturalists gathered. Fish oil, which the people in the northern regions have for long used for medicinal purposes, was introduced in 1782 by English physicians in textbook medicine.
At the end of the 18^th^ century pharmaceutical laboratories expanded. They were not onlyused for drug production, but for scientific research and learning. They were a pharmaceutical and chemistry generator. Getting smaller quantities in pharmaceutical laboratories has become increasingly difficult for economic and technical reasons. For this reason, the authorities have allowed the pharmacist to buy such a drug also in factory labs, which have been designed to produce large quantities of chemicals. The founders of these companies were usually pharmacists. So, Pelletier soon, after discovering quinine, established a first factory in Paris for the manufacturing of this highly used antipyretic and antimalarial agent. Later, quinine was also produced in large quantities by pharmacists **Riedel** in Berlin and **Zimmer** in Frankfurt ([@ref5]).

publisher publishes instructions and regulations for the purpose of (official) preparation of medicines, and for following of which the authority prescribed to the pharmacists and the doctors, even when this obligation is not expressed in the title of the book, must be accepted in its entirety. The development of pharmacopoeia books cannot be shown only through the pharmacopoeia in the narrow sense of the word because of the fact that for such books there were more diverse contents and names that were used and were the characteristic of the time and environment in which such books arise. A list of pharmacopoeias shows that at least thirty different names have been used to designate these collections and/or these scientific papers on drugs. Characteristics of these books used by pharmaciststo 1851, andUnited States Pharmacopoeia from 1820, 1831, 1842, 1851, 1863 and 1873.
At that time was created the most advanced pharmacopoeia of that time, Pharmacopoeia Borussica, also featured plant descriptions. Dual or binary drug names were a common thing, and they consisted of the name of the main plant species and of the herbaceous part of the plant that was used, e.g. Herba digitalis and/or Digitalis Folia. This practice was common in Germany and the UK. It responded very well to the needs of pharmacists, as at a time when hundreds of herbal drugs were still in the pharmacy, which were partially derived from the same plant, greatly facilitated differentiation. Drug names that consisted of one word had the advantage of a short name, but they were less | {

has founded a botanical garden that has been preserved within the oldest botanical garden in Europe ([@ref3]).
The foundation of botanical gardens has led to the publication of books in which authors described such a garden, as well as to the expansion of knowledge gained by collecting and cultivating herbs. In all countries of the world where science has been developed, pharmacists have contributed to the knowledge of local flora. **Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelsus)** (1494-1541), a Swiss-German physician, a naturalist and a Renaissance philosopher, wrote that healing herbs in each country were growing for treating their patients. Botany was not yet an independent discipline at that time but was in the service of medicine and pharmacy. In the sixteenth century, the pharmacy gardens grew more and more, andsanitatis or Hortus sanitatis made by a printing company **Jakob Meydenbagh**. It is based primarily on a manuscript of 1072 monographs of drugs, of which the 530 monograph deals with medicinal herbs, and the material was probably compiled by a German author around 1450 from easily available, mostly encyclopedic sources. The content is divided into half-alphabetic order, divided into five segments: herbae, animalia in terris, aves, pisces and lapidespretiosi. After the first edition there were several Latin copies (1497-1538) ([@ref3]).
Herbars, except in Latin and German, were soon printed in Dutch, French and Italian. Gart der Gesuntheit was also known as Herbarius zu Teutch (1485). In the year 1491, the extended version of Gart der Gesuntheit appeared under the title Hortus sanitatis. The French translation, called Arbolary, was published | {

same time the last great Greek Roman pharmacist. He was a great expert in the use, preparation and compilation of medicines. The best source of knowledge of his pharmacology is the book "De simplicium medicamentorum temperamentis et facultatibus". But other books can be considered an ancient "pharmacopoeia". These are the ones from the year 160 "De compositione medicamentorum sectmdum genera" and "De compozitione medicamentorum secundum locos". About 500 herbal drugs and a considerable number of mineral and animal drugs are described in the aforementioned books. He also wrote the book "De Antidotis". Galen's books are preserved in a series of Greek, Latin and Arabic medieval manuscripts. They are then often published, so the number of printed editions is great. The first printed edition was published in Latin in1515 in Erfurt as the son of Eurosis Cordus, a Marburg professor of medicine. He studied in Marburg and Wittenberg. At the last university in Wittenberg in 1540 he read about Dioscuri. Scientific literature on the life and book of Valerius Cordus is very extensive. Georg Edmund Dann has specifically explored this area of pharmacy history. He argues that Dioskurides approach was not just based on reason or well-conceived and practical (rational), as well as based on experience, or knowledge gained (empirical). It is also critical, or it rests on a strict observation of specific criticism and its criteria. He therefore deserves to be recognized as the beginning of the science of pharmacognosy and pharmacology. His drug classification was based on their expected physiological effect and this activity | {

was largely responsible for determining the modern plant names ([@ref3]).
**Valerius Cordus** is the author of the first official medical book. He also wrote the pharmacopoeia "Historia Plantarum". He was a professor at the University of Leipzig. He talked about the character and book of Dioskurides and presented the most important features of Dioskurides classification and all his lectures on Dioskurides, which he held to students, were published after his death ([@ref3]).
The Dioskurides describes for each listed drug its habitat, provides botanical description, explains its properties or mode of action, describes its medical use and side effects, provides quantities and dosages, provides instructions on collection, treatment and preservation of plants, describes methods of destruction and testing for detecting defects, providing veterinary, magical and non-medical use, and pointing to whereSina's medicine. They were copied by the folk and were the main source of folk medicine ([@ref27]-[@ref40]). Official literature, however was written in Turkish and Arabic languages and therefore was available only to the highest members of the society. Even though "Ljekaruša"s had useful knowledge, they were also filled with superstition. They were using amulets, fetishes, and scrolls, as well as parchments of Qur'an, which was contrary to Islamic principles.
Attars were drug specialists that operated in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 16th century. They can be held responsible for development of the folk and traditional medicine ([@ref19], [@ref28]). Their arrival coincides with arrival of sefardJews from Spain in 1492. Their knowledge stemmed from the Arabian medicine. Attars were mostly situated in bigger cities.

up by the local Muslims, and they soon outnumbered the Jews. They supplemented their attaric knowledge from the official literature, and they formed unions, while Jews continued working independently. Their stores held a variety of merchandise, from plants to oils and potions. Attars were so significant that even with the prohibition of their work, they still had more profit that official pharmacy, founded during that time ([@ref20]-[@ref30]).
Some people would travel far from Bosnia to receive an education from famous universities and then upon return would return to heal the population. Some were even from outside the Empire, but they treated only the nobles. They did however played an important role in the suppression of epidemics.

On 19 September, 2008, FC Shakhter, alongside FC Vostok, were disqualified from the Kazakhstan Premier League for playing a fixed match. On 2 October, the authorities revised their decision and FC Shakhter were instead deducted nine points, while FC Vostok’s expulsion was upheld. Despite this setback, Shakhter have reemerged with a functional side based on the strong tactical prowess of Viktor Kumykov, whose temporal managerial career is spatially similar to the pastoral traditions of Kazakh nomadism, and whose promise to give up a 35-year smoking career should Shakhter progress underlies his loyalty to Karaganda’s Champions League ambitions.

Case report
===========
In an attempted suicide after quarreling with his wife, a 35-year-old male farmer from the plain (Terai) region of Nepal poisoned himself with OP pesticide (malathion). He had been using OP as a pesticide in his field, as per the advice of an agriculture technician, for over a week at the time of the incident. The unconscious farmer was taken to a nearby hospital in India, near the border, where he suffered from vomiting, salivation, and diarrhea. After being on a mechanical ventilator for 9 days, he was brought to the National Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Birgunj, Nepal.The patients' record showed that his symptoms included deep coma (Glasgow Coma Scale E1V1M1), hypotension (80/56 mmHg), tachycardia (128/min), miosis, and hypersalivations. The patient was administered activated charcoal and was continuously infused with atropine sulfate. His plasma cholinesterase value was not tested due to the lack of access to the test.
After being brought to the National Medical College and Teaching Hospital, the patient was kept in the intensive care unit under breathing support with a mechanical ventilation and under 24 hours vigilance. His consciousness and respiratory status gradually improved, and he was taken off the mechanical ventilator on the 12th day of his admission. After this time, he developed irritability, restlessness, nonsensical talking, and psychosis. The neurological examination revealed resting and postural tremors, and marked cogwheel rigidity. An | {

examination of his mental status revealed uncooperativeness, irritability, abnormal behavior, decreased volume and pitch of speech, increased reaction time, labiality of mood, impaired attention and concentration, and disorientation to time, place, and person. The diagnosis of delirium was made along with a suspicion of Parkinsonism. The antipsychotic drug, quetiapine, was started at a low dose of 25 mg once daily, and then was gradually increased over 3 days to 50 mg, which showed dramatic improvements within 2 days.
By the 18th day of admission, a decision was made to transfer the patient to the Psychiatry Inpatient Department for further management of his psychiatric manifestation, where he was continued on with the same medications. Consistent mood liability, irritability, fatigability, and features of anxiety were observed; however, features of Parkinsonism wereseen to be improving.
Through a detailed history from his spouse, friends, and other family members, major medical, surgical, and psychiatric illness, and substance abuse were all ruled out. The patient consumed alcohol occasionally, but did not portray patterns of dependency. In addition, the detailed history explored the attempted suicide and saw it as an impulsive act rather than one motivated by depression. The patients' medical history showed mood swings along with suicidal thoughts were persistent. An antidepressant, fluoxetine 20 mg, was started once daily and suicidal precaution was explained to family members. Upon persistent requests from the family, the patient was discharged with the same medication and advised to return for a 2-week follow-up at the Psychiatry Outpatient Department.

Symptom distress as rated by advanced cancer patients, caregivers and physicians in the last week of life.
To study the symptom distress as rated by patients with advanced cancer during their last week of life, and to compare patients' ratings with those perceived by caregivers and physicians. This was a prospective study on all patients admitted to the Hospice Unit of the Caritas Medical Centre with an estimated life expectancy of two weeks or less from May 2002 to September 2002. A questionnaire with a list of 13 symptoms, including pain, dyspnoea, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, cough, fatigue, cachexia, anorexia, constipation, diarrhoea, insomnia and haemoptysis, was administered to assess the distress. Distress was rated by a verbal rating scale consisting of five grades (grade 0 to grade 4).

individual practitioner level. For this study, rural and remote medical workforce data were available for the most populous Australian state, New South Wales (NSW). For more than ten years, longitudinal data have been collected by the NSW Rural Doctors Network (NSW RDN), a state and federally funded rural workforce agency established in 1998 to respond to workforce recruitment and retention issues facing rural family physicians in NSW. In Australia, family physicians are more commonly termed 'general practitioners' (GPs). Data are collected annually by the NSW RDN through a GP workforce and skills survey of GPs for the express purpose of rural workforce planning. These survey data are supplemented from other sources, including biannual practice manager surveys and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency register of physicians. Many ofthan 15 km or had a break in continuous service provision of more than 3 months. A *'*failure' event was defined as a family physician leaving an appointment whilst a *'*censored' event was defined as a family physician remaining in an appointment at the end of the study observation period. Hence, another way of viewing a 'failure' is as a break in the provision of continuous care within a community. This was selected because relational continuity is known to be central to the development of trust and improved communication between doctors and their patients and to the securing of optimal health outcomes in the community \[[@B20]\].

A further important finding is that graduates from medical schools in countries without an Australian Medical Council-designated competent authority (countries other than Australia, UK, Canada, US, New Zealand and Ireland, which we term 'other' countries) had a substantially (1.45 times) increased risk of leaving a family physician appointment in rural NSW compared with Australian graduates. In terms of predicted median length of stay, this translates to Australian trained graduates staying for almost a year longer in small remote towns and for almost 2 years longer in small inland towns in regions of moderate population density.

The first main limitation of this research concerns the absence of neuropsychological evaluation, and particularly of cognitive processes such as flexibility, inhibition, and the maintenance of context in working memory. These processes are potentially implicated in the processing of contextual information, including in the two tasks used in this research. In the disambiguation task and context-processing remediation task, participants must inhibit the dominant meaning of the ambiguous words and maintain the context in memory to respond appropriately with the subordinate meaning of the words.

She had never traveled abroad. She had taken extracts from lotus leaf and mixed plants for a few months.
She was admitted after the symptom onset 10 days later (21 October 2011); an abscess was found in the left lower paracolic gutter by abdominal CT and the patient was treated with oral antibiotics. Twenty days after the first CT, on a follow-up CT, 2 additional abscesses were found at thesplenic flexure in the left upper quadrant area and the pelvic cavity. Her symptoms did not improve despite the antibiotic therapy.
She was transferred to our hospital on 10 November 2011. At that time, physical examination revealed tenderness in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. A blood test showed eosinophilia. WBC count was 8,200/μl, and the proportion of eosinophils was 13.8%. CRP was 7.41 mg/dl, and serum electrolytes and liver enzymes were within normal range. An abdominal CT showed 3 abscesses in the left upper quadrant, mesentery, and pelvic cavity. On the 11th hospital day after transfer (21 November 2011), a 4th abdominal CT was performed.

ASGM work involves digging, grinding, and crushing the ore, then processing the ore, ending with burning of the amalgam to attain the gold. Most miners are men. Few women work as miners, and mainly as ore crushers, not as smelters. ASGM activity in the WSR is relatively recent compared to other ASGM activity in Indonesia. Describing the ASGM sector in WSR and its impact on environment, health and society is necessary for developing a better solution to eliminate mercury use in the ASGM sector.

In 2014, the government worked together with PT Indotan, a mining concession holder in the WSR, to formalize ASGM activities. This formalization began by inviting miners to become members of a cooperative. Cooperative formalization would help to integrate the social, environmental, labor, health and safety, economic, commercial, gender, organizational and technical dimensions of AGSM activities. However, these processes require time and a consistent long-term governmental policy. With formalization, the government would have the power to impose interventions with legal consequences for both sides (government and miners).

But along a forested, isolated road, they picked up a disoriented man wandering through the snow. His car wouldn't start and his daughter had vanished. Strangest of all were the mysterious slashes cut into the back of his coat, straight down to the flesh....When they arrived in the nearest town it seemed deserted. | {

On the 60th day of his presidency came the hardest truth for Donald Trump.
He was wrong.
James B. Comey — the FBI director whom Trump celebrated on the campaign trail as a gutsy and honorable “Crooked Hillary” truth-teller — testified under oath Monday what many Americans had already assumed: Trump had falsely accused his predecessor of wiretapping his headquarters during last year’s campaign.
Trump did not merely allege that former president Barack Obama ordered surveillance on Trump Tower, of course. He asserted it as fact, and then reasserted it, and then insisted that forthcoming evidence would prove him right.

The use of physical aggression is considered normal and adaptive during the first years of life ([@B70]). During the first half year of life, infants express frustration and anger through vocalizing and facial expressions ([@B33]). The early manifestations of physical aggression are apparent before 12 months of age, as soon as children acquire the motor skills to use force ([@B35]). The first expressions of aggressive behavior involve behaviors such as biting, hitting, pulling, and tugging toys: these behaviors are generally considered to be reactive in nature and to result from frustration ([@B33]), while harmful intent is very unlikely to play a role in infant aggression ([@B29]). From infancy onward, the level of physical aggression increases until it peaks around 2 yearsClive Walford, who has a quadriceps injury, was also a full participant.

They were then much less active and spent time cleaning their antennae and legs.
Observations revealed two defensive strategies displayed by the butterflies while nectaring. With several fast and shallow wingbeats, they repelled much smaller insects (flies, bees) that wanted to land on the same flower; this behavior was observed several times. A different strategy was adopted against much larger insects like bumble bees. On landing on the same plant (flower), these did not respect the presence of the butterfly. The unexpected contact between the two insects resulted in the butterfly immediately dropping into the dense vegetation on the ground without opening its wings; after a moment, however, it flew up and away. This behavior was observed on two occasions.
Another intriguing behavior following oviposition was noticed. Before leaving theWhy the Political Atmosphere in Rajasthan’s Pokhran Has Turned Communal

By the time the World Health Organization (WHO) declared an end to the transmission of the Ebola virus in West-Africa in June 2016, the outbreak had claimed more than 11,000 lives and infected almost 29,000 \[[@CR1]\]. During a few months in 2014, the weak and fragile health systems in the three most affected countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, were overwhelmed with urgent and radically new challenges \[[@CR2]\]. The fear of contracting Ebola viral disease (EVD), the deaths of health staff \[[@CR3]\], the closure of health facilities, and the disruption of essential health programs \[[@CR4], [@CR5]\] contributed to reduced health service utilization \[[@CR6]--[@CR10]\] and increased all-causes of mortality \[[@CR11]\].

AP
LOS ANGELES (AP) — About 20,000 students in California who need to learn English aren't getting adequate language instruction, according to a lawsuit against the state and education workers filed Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Under state and federal law, schools are required to teach non-English speakers the language, but by its own records, the state isn't offering English instruction to nearly 20,000 students. The suit alleges that lack of instruction has meant some children had to be held back a grade or live with low proficiency scores because of a language barrier.
The ACLU brought the issue to the attention of the state with a letter in January, and officials say they're working to ensure compliance at the local level.

All the specimens were part of the large collection kept at the Embryology Institute of the Universidad Complutense, Madrid, and were the products of miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies managed at the Department of Obstetrics of the University. Approval for the study was granted by the university ethics committee (approval number, B-08/374). Because of the nature of the specimens, we were unable to rule out the possibility that they contained pathology. However, no pathology was found in the developing umbilical vessels, liver, intestine, adrenal, and kidney in the specimens examined. Identification of gender was based on observations of the urogenital fold, including the primitive uterus.

During the hypothetical topographical change at the late stage, mechanical stress is likely to be responsible for differentiation of the membranous structure between the crus and the striated sphincter (see above) into the male urogenital diaphragm or the female perineal membrane. Subsequently, the female urethral striated muscle seems to extend posterolaterally along the superficial surface of the developed perineal | {

bronchitis. Congestive heart failure was the primary diagnosis for 19% of the PH hospitalizations in 2001 to 2002 and for 18% in 2009 to 2010. The top three diagnoses accounted for 43% of the hospitalizations in 2001 to 2002 and for 37% in 2009 to 2010. Pneumonia and cardiac dysrhythmias rounded out the five leading principal diagnoses, except in 2007 to 2008, when respiratory failure was the fifth most common principal diagnosis. Acute myocardial infarction moved from the sixth most frequent principal diagnosis in 2001 to 2002 to the 10th most frequent in 2009 to 2010. Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis first appeared as the 10th most common primary diagnosis in 2007 to 2008 and moved up to the seventh most common primary diagnosis in 2009 to 2010.

Reasons for the reversal in trend for men are unclear, but the previous decline may have been associated with reductions in COPD and emphysema, which the current analysis identifies as well. On the other hand, we identified increases in the rates of PH mortality in association with coronary heart disease and hypertension as well as autoimmune disease in men.

to a force transducer (model SSM-AJ-500; Interface; Scottsdale, AZ) via a high-tension cable. The height of the preacher curl bench and distance from the force transducer were adjusted to ensure that each participant's arm was positioned at 90°s of elbow flexion and that the line of pull from the cable was perpendicular to the force transducer. Following placement of the dEMG sensor and ground electrode, participants performed three submaximal isometric contractions (at \~50% of MVC) to warm up the elbow flexors and to allow for visual inspection of the dEMG signal-to-noise ratio to ensure proper signal acquisition. Two MVCs were then performed with three minutes of rest provided between contractions. Strong verbal encouragement and biofeedback of force output were provided to aid in participants providing a maximal effort.between 20%-40% and 50%-60% of MVC during contraction at 80% of MVC prior to the second eccentric exercise bout.
To our knowledge no previous study of the RBE has examined potential changes in antagonist co-activation during eccentric exercise. Therefore, our finding of reduced triceps co-activation represents and interesting and here-to-fore unexamined change in neural strategy that would underlie the RBE. With decreased triceps co-activation, a greater portion of elbow flexor force would be applied to the external load---rather than being used to overcome the stabilizing force of the elbow extensors. The external load lifted was unchanged from Bout 1 to Bout 2. Consequently, a decrease in co-activation would result in less total force being generated by the flexors to move the external load.

There’s no question that GT racing globally has been on the rise over the last decade, but whilst that success has been a blessing for promoters, it has also had an after-effect on the very people on which the category had been originally focussed – the amateur, or ‘gentlemen’ drivers.
Now, much of the GT world is dominated by professional drivers, or in some cases, drivers whose international driver grading cause much discussion, the upshot of which is that the people who own many of the cars (GT is very much a ‘customer’ focussed category) have been forced to take a ‘back-seat’ to faster and more experienced drivers, ultimately forcing them back into the garage.

In cognitive psychology there are at least two types of metaphors describing the activities of the individual's cognitive resources. The first and most popular of them is the computer metaphor, which compares the work of the brain to that of a processor which has a limited amount of resources that must be divided among all of the processes in the queue.

Within Limpopo Province, the Vhembe Municipal District is the area most heavily impacted by malaria in South Africa. It is located in the extreme north-eastern region of South Africa directly adjoining Zimbabwe and Mozambique, countries with which there is substantial trans-border movement of people, such as temporary migrant workers.
