Sexually transmitted disease in men: Sexually transmitted disease (STD) as it affects men. Men can contract all the known STDs but may have no symptoms or have different symptoms than women do. For example, most men who have chlamydia have no symptoms at all but can easily pass the infection on to their sexual partners.

Recent epidemiological studies have investigated the networks that are defined by sexual relationships between individuals, and discovered that the properties of sexual networks are crucial to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.


Sexually Transmitted Diseases - STD
Sexually Transmitted Diseases-STD. By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that can be transmitted through sexual contact with an infected individual. These are also termed sexually transmitted infections or STIs. STDs can be transmitted during vaginal or other types of sexual intercourse including oral and anal sex.


CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
1. sexually transmitted disease-a communicable infection transmitted by sexual intercourse or genital contact. social disease, STD, VD, venereal disease, venereal infection, Venus's curse, Cupid's disease, Cupid's itch, dose. contagion, contagious disease-any disease easily transmitted by contact.


Foods That Fight STDâs
The symptoms of STDs vary with the type of infection but they commonly include: 1  Discharge from the penis or vagina. 2  Itching around the genitalia. 3  Pain experienced during sexual intercourse or while urinating. 4  The pain may be of a stabbing or burning nature or a dull pain in the pelvic area.


Cloning in Medicine
But stem cells transferred from one person to another (such as in a bone marrow transplant) are seen as foreign, and they usually trigger an immune response. Some researchers are looking at cloning as a way to create stem cells that are genetically identical to an individual.


How Is Cloning Done?
Many people first heard of cloning when Dolly the Sheep showed up on the scene in 1997. Artificial cloning technologies have been around for much longer than Dolly, though. There are two ways to make an exact genetic copy of an organism in a lab: artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer.


Molecular cloning
Molecular cloning generally uses DNA sequences from two different organisms: the species that is the source of the DNA to be cloned, and the species that will serve as the living host for replication of the recombinant DNA. Molecular cloning methods are central to many contemporary areas of modern biology and medicine. In a conventional molecular cloning experiment, the DNA to be cloned is obtained from an organism of interest, then treated with enzymes in the test tube to generate smaller DNA fragments.


Molecular cloning
The fundamental difference between the two methods is that molecular cloning involves replication of the DNA in a living microorganism, while PCR replicates DNA in an in vitro solution, free of living cells.

When scientists clone a gene, they isolate and make exact copies of just one of an organism's genes. Cloning a gene usually involves copying the DNA sequence of that gene into a smaller, more easily manipulated piece of DNA, such as a plasmid.


-
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also called nuclear transfer, uses a different approach than artificial embryo twinning, but it produces the same result: an exact genetic copy, or clone, of an individual. This was the method used to create Dolly the Sheep.

The use of the word cloning refers to the fact that the method involves the replication of one molecule to produce a population of cells with identical DNA molecules.

And stem cells cloned from someone with a disease could be grown in culture and studied to help researchers understand the disease and develop treatments. In 2013, scientists at Oregon Health and Science University were the first to use cloning techniques to successfully create human embryonicstem cells. The donor DNA came from an 8-month-old with a rare genetic disease. Find out more about Stem Cells.

Cloning endangered species is much easier, mainly because the surviving animals can donate healthy, living cells. In fact, several wild species have been cloned already, including two relatives of cattle called the guar and the banteng, mouflon sheep, deer, bison, and coyotes. However, some experts are skeptical that cloning can help a species recover.


Biceps femoris

Health Risks of Body Modification. There are serious health risks associated with tattoos and piercings, including: 1  infection, including HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, staph (including drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and tuberculosis. 2  pain, itching, swelling, tenderness, redness, or tissue injury at the site.ou can lower your risk by taking a few simple precautions: 1  Have your tattoo or piercing performed at a licensed facility that follows all applicable health and safety laws. 2  Needles and razors should not be reused. 3  Ask to watch your artist or piercer open the packages.


What are the health risks to getting a tattoo?
Know the health risks before you get a tattoo, including the possibility of serious infection or disease. To learn more about tattoos and health risks, watch this video by Dr. Oz. Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) answered. Tattooing is associated with a number of health risks. It can cause people to develop granulomas, or raised bumps around the tattooed area. Bumps of scar tissue that form on or near the tattoo are called keloids.


HEALTH TALK: Tattoo risks, side effects and precautions
How tattoos are done. A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on your skin with pigments inserted through pricks into the skin's top layer. Typically, the tattoo artist uses a hand-held machine that acts much like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin repeatedly.attoos breach the skin, which means that skin infections and other complications are possible, including: 1  Allergic reactions. 2  Skin infections. 3  Other skin problems. 4  Bloodborne diseases. 5  MRI complications.

The health risks associated with UV ink have been linked to the presence of phosphorous. This chemical is known to cause severe blistering, pain, burning sensations and even skin rashes.Many reports of skin problems have been reported to federal agencies.V tattoos are more difficult and require skill to apply. Since UV ink does not light up in normal light and does not easily blend, attention has to be paid during application. Constant use of a black light to visualize the tattoo is required.


Threat Of Substitutes | Porterâs Five Forces Model
The first thing a company can do is to identify those members of the potential audience that are most likely to move to a substitute. This group may collectively have an unmet need or a weak spot. An example could be unhappiness with the business practices of a company or an industry.

Does my baby need an iron supplement?
Once she starts eating iron-rich foods, she probably won't need the supplement. It's important not to give your baby cow's milk until after her first birthday, too, because it interferes with the body's absorption of iron. Cow's milk is not high in iron and can replace foods with high-iron content.


Iron
This is essential for providing energy for daily life. Good sources of iron include red meat, offal and iron-fortified breakfast cereals. Iron is lost from the body through shedding intestinal cells, sweat and blood loss. About one third of the worldâs population is iron deficient.


-
But people need iron to stay strong, too. Iron helps red blood cells carry oxygen to the body and plays a key role in brain and muscle function. A lack of iron in the blood can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, a common nutritional deficiency in children.


Iron
The average person needs to absorb just a small amount of iron each day to stay healthy (around 1 mg for adult males and 1.5 mg for menstruating females). To achieve this, however, we need to consume several times that amount. This is because our bodies absorb only a fraction of the iron contained in the foods we eat.

Health and Nutrtition - Minerals
Iron-deficiency anemia develops over time. First, the amount of iron in the body goes down and the child starts to have iron deficiency, where muscle and brain function are affected. The red blood cells don't change much at this point because the body uses most of its iron to make hemoglobin.


Iron for piglets: injection or oral?
general general. Piglets need iron supplements as they have a low deposit at birth, have a high grow rate and normally not have the ability to get the iron from soil. Sow milk only covers 10% of the iron need: this comes down to an iron deficit of approximately 155 mg per piglet.


Iron Requirements for Women Over 50
Iron Requirements. While women of childbearing age need 18 milligrams of iron daily, women over 50 need only 8 milligrams. Itâs easy to get 8 milligrams of iron daily by eating a healthy diet.


-
Usually, kids with iron deficiency need to take daily iron supplements to get their iron levels back up. Multivitamins with iron and changes to a child's diet can help, but usually are not enough on their own. Ask a doctor before giving your child iron supplements, as too much iron can cause health problems.


-
200 mg iron given in mouth by birth, even as iron dextran, will not cover the iron demand in those piglets. The absorption of iron dextran will go down very soon after the piglets start to suckle and you should therefore give this compound within 24 hours. Therefore, fast-growing piglets need iron early in life.


Cucumber in Container - Yellowing, wilting bottom leaves
Here are some photos of the plant - as you can see, bottom leaves are turning yellow, then eventually brown and dried out. I pull the dry leaves, and there's water in the stems (not the goop that I hear might come out if they're suffering from verticillium rot). Here is what my research has turned up:


What is causing my cucumber leaves to turn yellow?
Asked August 13, 2014, 2:15 PM EDT. Cucumber leaves had yellow spots 2 weeks ago, then the whole leaf turned yellow. Sprayed with Neemoil or mancozeb weekly with no effect. Also a 10-10-10 fertilizer weekly. No sign of pests. Three plants planted in straw bales. Roma tomatoes behaving and treated similarly, also in straw bales. Rutgers doing well.


Why Are My Cucumber Plants Turning Yellow?
She states that small pests, including aphids, whiteflies and spider mites, suck the sap from the leaves, which causes curling, yellowing and leaf distortion. Several bacterial and fungal diseases, such as verticillium wilt and symptoms caused by the mosaic virus, may also lead to the yellowing of cucumber plants. Carroll further explains that nitrogen deficiency not only causes the plant to turn yellow, but also leads to stunted growth.


Growing Cucumbers
A tropical vegetable, cucumbers thrive when the weather is hot and water is plentiful. Growing cucumbers is for warmer weather: Plants are so frost-tender that they shouldnât be set into the garden until soil temperatures are reliably in the 70-degree range (no less than 2 weeks after the last frost date).


Growing Cucumbers
Soil, Planting, and Care. Set cucumber plants at the base of your trellis and mulch after planting unless the soil could use a little more warming. Cucumbers need warm, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8, although they will tolerate a bit more alkaline soil to 7.6. Work compost or composted manure into soil.


Cucumber - Yellow/Brown Leaves
- Directly seeded into container in April. - Got first cuke (which was a total beauty!) in early May. - Water daily, though not a huge dousing. - I have another cucumber plant, of a different variety, that is doing just fine. Planted at the same time.


Why Are My Cucumber Plants Turning Yellow?
Agriculture and Rural Development of Alberta explains that yellow leaves on a cucumber plant may indicate exposure to warm, humid conditions with low light levels in the lower canopy of the plants.


Growing Cucumbers
In areas where spring is long and cool, you can warm the soil 3 to 4 degrees by covering the hill or row with black plastic.If you do not plant in black plastic, then mulch with pine straw, wheat straw, chopped leaves, or your favorite organic mulch shortly after planting.


Cucumber in Container - Yellowing, wilting bottom leaves
Something like 5-15-5 or similar. Containers (with drain holes) need to have nutrients replaced every ten days to two weeks. Sometimes the bottom leaves just turn yellow as the plant ages. My guess is you are watering too much; let the soil dry out before watering and use a low nitrogen plant food.


Leaf Spot Prevention In Cucumbers
Bacterial Leaf Spot. Leaf spots caused by other bacterial infections can infect the foliage and the fruit, causing the cucumbers to rot on the plant. The spots are very small, distinguishing them from angular leaf spot, and spots are not confined by the veins on the cucumber plant's leaves.

Evaluating MRI-Compatible Pacemakers
Similarly, more than 650,000 new pacing device implantations are performed annually worldwide. Moreover, the likelihood of MRI indication doubles after the age of 65 years and this is the same demographic group that is most likely to need a pacemaker.


Pacemaker
Let all of your doctors, dentists, and medical technicians know that you have a pacemaker. Your doctor can give you a card that states what kind of pacemaker you have. Carry this card in your wallet. You may want to wear a medical ID bracelet or necklace that states that you have a pacemaker.


Evaluating MRI-Compatible Pacemakers
Abstract and Introduction. The worldwide use of both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pacing devices has vastly increased in recent years and an important number of implanted patients likely will need an MRI over the course of the lifetime of their device.


Evaluating MRI-Compatible Pacemakers
The safety of MRI in patients with implanted pacemakers (PPM) has been debated for years. The reason that manufacturers of both pacemakers and of MRI equipment consider the presence of a PPM an absolute contraindication for MRI is the fact that some fatalities have been reported.


Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. Pacemakers are used to treat arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs). Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. A heartbeat that's too fast is called tachycardia (TAK-ih-KAR-de-ah). A heartbeat that's too slow is called bradycardia (bray-de-KAR-de-ah).

Pacemaker
These devices can disrupt the electrical signaling of your pacemaker and stop it from working properly. You may not be able to tell whether your pacemaker has been affected. How likely a device is to disrupt your pacemaker depends on how long you're exposed to it and how close it is to your pacemaker.


Evaluating MRI-Compatible Pacemakers
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for soft tissue imaging and is widely used in a broad range of conditions such as cancer, musculoskeletal system, and neurologic disorders.

How many games does a high school team play in baseball?
Different rules apply for different leagues and the individual sections the leagues belong to. A high school team is allowed a specified number of contacts for the season. This can vary depending on the number of teams in their league. Typically high school teams will play about 28 games - not including playoffs. Say they are in a seven team league and play each of the other six teams three times. That will be 18 games or contacts. That leaves 10 contacts for non-league games and tournaments.


NFL playoffs
The first round of the playoffs (known as the Divisional Series) are played over the best-of-five games (the first two at one venue, then two at the other, then a fifth at the first venue if required), with the higher ranked team having home field advantage (i.e. three home games and two on the road).


Why Are Baseball Seasons 162 Games Long?
For a few years, teams had played each of their rivals 20 times for a 140-game season. In 1920, this was expanded to 22 games against each of seven rivals, 11 at home and 11 away, resulting in an 154-game season. Then, leagues started expanding.


Major League Baseball postseason
In 1903, the two modern Major League Baseball leagues began annual postseason play with a one-round system in which the American League team with the best record faced the National League team with the best record in a best-of-seven series (in 1903, 1919, 1920, and 1921 it was best-of-nine) called the World Series; however, there was no 1904 Series ...


Why Are Baseball Seasons 162 Games Long?
After the first expansion, each team had nine rivals rather than seven, and the 154-game season made for bad math, MLB's official historian, John Thorn, explains. To play 22 games against each rival would require an 198-game season, so MLB settled on 18 games per rival for nine rivals, for a total of 162 games. (Thorn clarifies that yes, in 1961, after the AL had expanded but the NL had not, the leagues played seasons of different lengths.

Firing pin
Firing pin vs. striker[edit] A firing pin is a lightweight part, which serves to transfer energy from a spring-loaded hammer to the primer, while a striker is usually heavier, and is directly connected to the spring providing the energy to impact the primer.


Firing pin
The firing pin or striker is generally located in the bolt of a repeating firearm. Firearms that do not have bolts, such as revolvers and many types of single-shot actions, generally have a very short firing pin in the frame, or else attached to the hammer itself.

How Guns Work: Striker Fired Pistols
There are a couple of benefits to striker fired pistols in the area of concealed carry. Firstly, there is no external hammer, allowing for a more snag-free design. It also ensures that each trigger pull, from the first through the final round of the magazine, has the same weight of pull.


Is Striker-Fired or Hammer Fired Better for Concealed Carry
Striker-fired is a somewhat nebulous term. The striker is a rod that connects with the primer and discharges a round, which is otherwise called a firing pin. That said, what makes striker-fired pistols popular is there's no hammer to cock and trigger pull is often light. Unlike double-action or double/single action pistols in double action mode, which usually require close to ten pounds of pressure to break, trigger pull in such pistols is closer to five pounds.

Honey bees are not the same as bumble bees, wasps and yellow jackets. The scientific name for the honey bee that we have in America is Apis mellifera. Apis mellifera is actually one of eight species of honey bees. Apis mellifera actually means honey carrying bee. This is slightly incorrect in that a honey bee carries nectar not honey, but the name still stands. Stay with me on this; I don't want to lose you. Apis mellifera is a species of honey bee but within that species there are races.

LED Traffic Signals
Nationwide, power companies have been very supportive of the LED traffic signal conversions. Currently the City of Yakima is working with Pacific Power to receive a rebate for each LED installed. The existing rebate is $40 for each red ball, $50 for each LED âDonât Walkâ and $20 for each LED âWalkâ.

In a city with many thousands of such traffic lights, this meant the use of a lot of energy. and was therefore inefficient. To save energy, cities replaced lamps in traffic lights with light. emitting diodes (LEDs), which use very little energy. An additional advantage of LEDs is longer. service life.


LED Traffic Signals: A Brighter Choice
Assuming a cost of 8 cents per kWh, the signal costs about 20 cents per day or $73 dollars per year to operate. An equivalent LED signal would consume about 10 watts, or approximately $7 dollars per year. Even a small city with a few dozen traffic signals could achieve significant energy savings. Using LEDs instead of traditional bulbs can save up to $600 at a single intersection in one year (assuming eight signals); a single large city could save a million dollars or more, depending on how many intersections they have. Changing bulbs less often saves on labor costs, as well.


LED Traffic Signals: A Brighter Choice
Red lights are on approximately 60 percent of the time or 5,300 hours per year, and use far more energy in a traffic signal than green or yellow lights. Often, they are larger with a higher wattage, as well. On average, red lights use 85 percent of the total energy consumed by a traffic signal.


LED Traffic Signals
The energy saving for the LED signal is significant. The LED traffic signal bulb uses approximately 15 watts of power, compared to the average of 100 watts of power used by the traditional incandescent halogen bulb. Each traffic signal operates 24-hours per day, every day of the year. The cost to power a single 100-watt incandescent red bulb each day is about 15 cents (2.4 kilowatt hours), based on the current average of 5 cents per kilowatt hour which the City of Yakima pays.

Design of an effective traffic light system in a modern city is a task of traffic engineers, and is an. important undertaking. Traffic lights need to be placed judiciously to result in the safest and. fastest movement of people and vehicles. Also important is the timing of traffic signals.


LED Traffic Signals
Each intersection has an average of 36 bulbs including pedestrian displays, arrows, green, yellow and red balls. The daily cost to power just the traffic signal heads is $5.40 per street intersection. Over the course of the year for 100 signalized intersections the power cost to the City of Yakima is nearly $200,000.


LED Traffic Signals: A Brighter Choice
According to one study, the initial cost of a typical LED traffic signal ball was around $70 compared to an incandescent signal at $20. When energy use and maintenance costs were added, the total lifetime operating costs of LED lights were approximately one-third that of incandescent signals.

Salmon Temperature When Done
Salmon Temperature When Done. I've been wondering at what temperature salmon is considered done. There is plenty of guidance for poultry/beef/pork, etc., but I've seen very little in the way to seafood temperature. Last week I cooked several pieces of salmon, one to 145 degrees, and another to 160 degrees, and I really couldn't tell much difference.

Hot Smoked Salmon temp & time??
For what it's worth, I eat a lot of salmon living here in Alaska. The cook depends on the type of salmon. I generally like to keep the temperature around 230. The best way I use to tell when the salmon is done properly is that it flakes and when I stick a knife into the flesh it is warm but NOT hot.


Grilling Salmon Is Easy â Hereâs How
How to tell when itâs cooked: Use a knife to pierce the fish at the thickest part and check the flesh, it should be barely opaque and slightly pink in the center. If you press with a fork, the flesh should begin to flake easily. Internal temperature reading from the thickest part should be at least 145Â°F (though this is debatable, Iâve seen references as low as 120Â°F and as high as 165Â°F, it depends on how well done you want it to beâ¦I prefer it heated to 135Â°F. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of at least 145Â°F for fish.).

155 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature. Which converts to 68 degrees Celsius for the Europeans. 125 degrees Fahrenheit is the internal temperature recommended by America's Test Kitchen so that your salmon is not overdone. 155 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature.

125 degrees Fahrenheit is the internal temperature recommended by America's Test Kitchen so that your salmon is not overdone.


Hot Smoked Salmon temp & time??
I've looked at numerous posts on this site, as well as other sites, and there doesn't appear to be any general concensus on the temp and time for hot smoking salmon. I've seen smoker temps anywhere from 200*-225*. Finished internal temps from 140* - 165*, and smoking times anywhere from 2 - 6 hours.


Hot Smoked Salmon temp & time??
Like others said, it's a texture thing. When salmon flakes easily in the thicker parts, it's done. A temp probe won't reliably work, not enough meat, and you'll tear up a fillet trying it. Any smoking temp above 100 is considered a hot smoke...it's said. I do my salmon about 180 give or take 10.

Simply use a sheet of foil and create a tent over the salmon.

I cook fillets at 275F in the oven or on the grill skin side down until internal temp is 135-140. Just when the fat starts oozing out of the top of the salmon.

Grilling Salmon Is Easy â Hereâs How
1 Preheat on high heat for about 10 minutes (cover closed).  Reduce heat to medium-high, place fish directly on the rack, close cover and cook for about 4 minutes until nicely charred then turn and cook another 5 to 6 minutes or until done.


Adverb Clauses
Adverb clauses are clauses that function as adverbs. Since they are dependent clauses, they must have a subordinating conjunction to connect them to the other clause. Subordinating conjunctions can be arranged according to the purpose of the clause they begin. Here are some examples of subordinating conjunctions:


Adverbial clause
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb; that is, the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. As with all clauses, it contains a subject and predicate, although the subject as well as the (predicate) verb may sometimes be omitted and implied (see below). An adverbial clause is commonly, but not always, fronted by a subordinate conjunctionâsometimes called a trigger word. 1  Mary, the aspiring actress, became upset as soon as she saw the casting list. ( subject: she; predicate: saw the casting list; the clause modifies the verb became)


Definition
Without adverb clauses, sentences are definitely less interesting. In order to understand the adverb clause, we need to break it down a bit and define what the words 'adverb' and 'clause' mean. An adverb does what it sounds like - it adds information to the verb, adjective or another adverb in a sentence. An adverb tells us when, where, why, and/or how something happens in the sentence. A clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb.


Noun Clause
A dependent, or subordinate, clause contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase but does not express a complete thought. As a result, it cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses can function either as noun clauses, adjective clauses, or adverb clauses.


Adverb Clauses
Most of the time, an adverb clause will be separated from the other clause with a comma. Here are a few examples of sentences with and without commas: 1  Whether you like it or not, you have to go. (The adverb clause âWhether you like it or notâ puts a condition on the action.)  She enjoyed the party more than he did.


Adverb Clauses
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb (predicate). This differs from a phrase, which does not have a subject and a verb, like âto the park.â Clauses can be independent or dependent. Independent clauses are called sentences as they can stand alone and express a complete thought.


-
An adverb clause is a dependent clause that, like an adverb, modifies an adjective, an adverb, or a verb or verb phrase. Adverb clauses begin with words such as after, although, because, before, if, since, than, until, when, and while. Adverb Clause Examples. When we went to the zoo , we saw a lion and a bear.

It contains the subject we and the verb went. The clause modifies the verb saw.) Keikoâs report was the best because she did the most research . ( Because she did the most research is an adverb clause. It contains the subject she and the verb did.


Definition
Therefore, an adverb clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb that provides additional information in a sentence. The adverbial clause does not stand alone as a complete thought, so it serves as a dependent clause. It tells us when, where, why, and how.
