Esophageal cancer is more common in men than women, and it is associated with older age, heavy alcohol use and tobacco use. The number of new cases of esophageal cancer was 4.2 per 100,000 men and women per year based on 2010-2014 cases.


Symptoms, Treatment & Survival Rate of Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer
Stage 4 esophageal cancer prognosis is considerably poor, because in this stage the cancer has spread to other organs of the body as well. Survival rates also depend on how far the cancer has progressed. Stage 4 esophageal cancer survival rate is less than 5%. It is advisable that patients with stage 4 esophageal cancer obtain treatment at a medical center, where they can benefit from multi-modality treatment.


-
Using statistical models for analysis, rates for new esophageal cancer cases have been falling on average 1.4% each year over the last 10 years. Death rates have been falling on average 0.9% each year over 2005-2014. 5-year survival trends are shown below the figure.

Patients with severe dysplasia in distal esophageal Barrett mucosa often have in situ or invasive cancer within the dysplastic area. In most cases, esophageal cancer is a treatable disease, but it is rarely curable. The overall 5-year survival rate in patients amenable to definitive treatment ranges from 5% to 30%.


Esophageal Cancer (Cancer of the Esophagus)
The two main types of esophageal cancer are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Risk factors for both types include age 65 or older, male sex, smoking, excessive alcohol use, a diet poor in fruits and vegetables, obesity, and acid reflux (GERD) with the formation of Barrett's esophagus.

After resection, these patients usually have excellent prognoses.[8] In most cases, esophageal cancer is a treatable disease, but it is rarely curable. The overall 5-year survival rate in patients amenable to definitive treatment ranges from 5% to 30%. The occasional patient with very early disease has a better chance of survival.


Cancer Stat Facts: Esophageal Cancer
Number of New Cases and Deaths per 100,000: The number of new cases of esophageal cancer was 4.2 per 100,000 men and women per year. The number of deaths was 4.1 per 100,000 men and women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2010-2014 cases and deaths.


Esophageal Cancer (Cancer of the Esophagus)
Photodynamic therapy may be an option for some patients whose esophageal cancer has not spread (metastasized) and where the tumor size is small. Surgery for this cancer may involve part or all of the esophagus or other structures (part of the stomach, lymph nodes, or other parts of affected organs may be removed). Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays focused to kill cancer cells; it is often used together with chemotherapy.

Effect of nanoparticles on the anticorrosion and mechanical properties of epoxy coating
The films were removed from the steel coupon surface, and then sputter-coated with a very thin Iridium layer (approximately 1â2 nm) to avoid the charging effect caused by the nonconductive nature of epoxy coatings and to get high resolution with this virtually grain-free coating material.


Effect of nanoparticles on the anticorrosion and mechanical properties of epoxy coating
Epoxy has been widely used as a coating material to protect the steel reinforcement in concrete structures [1], [2] and [3], because of its outstanding processability, excellent chemical resistance, good electrical insulating properties, and strong adhesion/affinity to heterogeneous materials.


The Healing Benefits Of Copper

Copper has several important properties that make it incredibly useful: Antimicrobialâ Copper has whatâs known as a oligodynamic effect on bacteria. Basically, it kills microbes. Scientists arenât sure exactly how or why this happens, but they know that it definitely does work.


The Healing Benefits Of Copper
Why Copper is Used in Ayurveda. Because of copperâs important role in the body and its incredible healing benefits, Ayurveda (the ancient Indian health science) was quick to pick up on it and recommend its use. According to the ancient science, copper was excellent for balancing the doshas in the body.

CH20 A&P Lymphatic System. The interconnected system of spaces and vessels between cells in the body's connective tissues and the specialized organs (bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, and diffuse nodular lyphatic tissues) through which lymph circulates throughout the body. 2. functions of the lymphatic system. Its functions include transport of absorbed lipids from meals, the return of excess extracellular/interstitial fluid to the cardiovascular system, and a variety of immune defense functions.


-
The lymphatic system also consists of lymphatic organs, composed of lymphatic tissue and a connective tissue capsule. Examples include red bone marrow ( site of lymphocyte production) lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen.


-
The lymph system is a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph system is a major part of the body's immune system. Watch this video about:Lymphatics and the breast. Lymph is a clear-to-white fluid made of: 1  White blood cells, especially lymphocytes, the cells that attack bacteria in the blood.  Fluid from the intestines called chyle, which contains proteins and fats.


-
It is the main collection duct of the lymphatic system, receiving lymph from the left side of the head, neck, and thorax, the left upper extremity, and the entire body below the diaphragm. The intestinal trunk and the two lumbar trunks join to form the cisterna chyli.


-
Describe the structure and function of the lymphatic capillary. Lymphatic capillaries are similar to blood capillaries in structure, but are unique in that they allow interstitial fluid to pass into them, but not out.


Fluid regulation is essential to homeostasis.
According to Starlingâs law of the capillaries, only 85% of the fluid that leaves blood (by filtration) to enter the tissue spaces is reabsorbed. The other 15% bathes the cells as interstitial fluid and is then moved into the lymphatic system for eventual return to the blood.


What Is the Purpose of the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and bodily organs that run parallel to the cardiovascular system. Its main purpose is re-absorbing fluid that has exited the blood vessels. As blood travels throughout the body, some of the liquid is leached off and becomes interstitial fluid.


-
The lymphatic system consists of the fluid lymph flowing within lymphatic vessels. It also consists of lymphatic tissue composed of aggregates of lymphocytes and macrophages scattered throughout the body or forming dense lymphatic nodules such as the tonsils, appendix, and peyerâs patches.


What Is the Purpose of the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system reabsorbs interstitial fluid so that the body does not lose liquid with every pump of the heart. Once it enters the lymphatic system, interstitial fluid is called lymph. Lymph contains fat from circulating through the small intestine as well as numerous waste products from bodily cells. The waste is slowly filtered out by a series of small bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes.


-
The lymphatic vessel drainage system recaptures this fluid and returns it to the systemic circulation along with its diddolved soolutes. The return is assisted by valves in many vessels preventing backflow; and by the muscular pump in the limbs and the respiratory pump in the thoracic cavity.


History of the Microwave Oven
John has complained in recent years at IEEE talks that some web sites propose that the microwave oven was invented in Russia, or Germany, but then again, you can find almost any incorrect fact you you are looking for on the internet.


History of the Microwave Oven
One of the subject matter experts on this topic is John Osepchuk, who worked at Raytheon during the 60s, 70s and 80s. His papers on the topic include: A History of Microwave Heating Applications, IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Vol. MTT-32, No. 9.


Who Invented the Microwave Oven?
The microwaves from the radar set he was working on were cooking the candy bar in his pocket! With a little experimentation, Spencer figured out that the microwaves could be concentrated to heat food. He created the first working microwave oven, and the first food he cooked in it was popcorn. Microwave ovens use microwaves, which are radio waves at a frequency of approximately 2,500 megahertz, to heat food. Microwaves are absorbed by water, fats and sugars and are immediately converted to heat. The microwaves penetrate food quickly, so they cook food evenly and quickly.


History of the Microwave Oven
Below is a video of John talking about the invention of the microwave oven: John Osepchuk explains some microwave oven history. Also, we refer to The Creative Ordeal, The Story of Raytheon, by Otto J. Scott, published in 1974. This book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Raytheon Company.


How the microwave was invented by a radar engineer who accidentally cooked a candy bar in his pocket
My grandfather was watching a microwave testing rig, and he realized that the peanut-cluster bar in his pocket started to melt â it got quite warm, Rod Spencer, inventor and grandson of Percy Spencer, told Business Insider.


History of the Microwave Oven
He went to the World's Fair in Montreal to present the oven to the world and died 4 years later, not really having a sense of the importance of the oven. We had the original microwave in our garage in Needham when I was born in 1945 and I have the silver Radarange name plate from that oven.


Who Invented Microwave Popcorn
That research led to the first microwave popping bag, of which these two gentlemen named above have the patent. Even so, these first bags of microwavable popcorn were just the kernels of corn combined with a convenient popping bag.


Who Invented Microwave Popcorn
Raytheon loved the idea and so did Spencer. They realized they were onto something with the food heating that could happen and this eventually led to the invention of the microwave. Spencer himself actually holds the patent for microwave popcorn. It could be said, however, that the invention of microwave popcorn is what actually led to the invention of the microwave.


History of the Microwave Oven
Copson was the first or only name on all of his patents, but shared one with Dr. Luther Davis Jr, who went on to become head of the Raytheon Research Division in the 1970s and 80s. Copson wrote the book Microwave Heating in 1975, and you can probably still get a used copy on Amazon.


Who Invented Microwave Popcorn
The warm, buttery smell of popcorn wafts through the air and the familiar popping sound seems to spur hunger on whenever it is heard. For many years, however, the only way to make popcorn was on the stove or through the use of an air popper. It wasnât until the early 1980âs that microwave popcorn was able to join this food product family thanks to the distribution efforts of General Mills.

When performed for. leaf pigments, the result is a series of bands that are colored. and visible directly (Figure 1). To perform the procedure, the. mixture is spotted onto a strip of paper, and then the paperâs. end is put into a solvent.


-
One of the green pigments that absorbs light for use in photosynthesis. is called â chlorophyll aâ; it. readily absorbs violet/blue and red. light but not much of the lighter. blue, and green and yellow light.


-
Letâs focus on LIGHT and its capture by a cell. The visible light spectrum ranges from. red (the longest wavelength) through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and finally violet (the. shortest wavelength), and plants possess pigments that can absorb light in specific regions of the. spectrum (see Figure 1).


Photosynthesis - Part I: The Sun and Light
Part I: The Sun and Light. Not all of the light from the Sun makes it to the surface of the Earth. Even the light that does make it here is reflected and spread out. The little light that does make it here is enough for the plants of the world to survive and go through the process of photosynthesis.


Biology, Answering the Big Questions of Life/Photosynthesis
What is light?[edit] Light is a form of energy. The form of light that plants capture, as well as the light that you and I can see, is called visible light. The white light that shines on Earth from the sun is actually composed of light of many different colors.


-
Green plants have green leaves, and the leaves are green because of the green pigment. called chlorophyll which is involved in photosynthesis. Well, yes, but itâs really more complex. than just this. A leaf has evolved, chemically and structurally, to optimize photosynthesis (Greek: photo =light).


-
Anthocyanins occur widely among higher plants, and are the pigments that generally give color. to flowers, but also occur in leaves and fruits. In leaves, these pigments often help to protect. against excessive sunlight that can damage some leaf tissues.


Photosynthesis - Part I: The Sun and Light
Within this cell organelle is the chlorophyll that captures the light from the Sun. We'll talk about it in a bit, but the chloroplasts are working night and day with different jobs. The molecules are moved and converted in the area called the stroma.


Biology, Answering the Big Questions of Life/Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis captures the energy from visible light but it doesn't use all of the colors of light equally. It mostly uses light from the blue and red parts of the spectrum. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts in the leaves.


Photosynthesis - Part I: The Sun and Light
Even when light gets to a plant, the plant doesn't use all of it. It actually uses only certain colors to make photosynthesis happen. Plants mostly absorb red and blue wavelengths. When you see a color, it is actually a color that the object does NOT absorb. In the case of green plants, they do not absorb light from the green range.

A tropical specimen, this low branching and bushy tree does not tolerate cold or strong sustained winds. It will, however, grow at sea level and up to elevations of 3,000 feet in tropical climes. A rapid grower, soursop trees produce their first crop three to five years from seeding.


Am I a horrible person for not having sympathy towards suicide victims??
You have the right to your beliefs about courage and what not, but everyone has the right to their life, whether they choose to embrace it or not. It's simply arrogant for you to say whether suicide victims made the correct or courageous decision or not. But most people are arrogant, so don't feel too bad.


Empathy and Personality Disorders
Narcissists and psychopaths lack empathy. It is safe to say that the same applies to patients with other personality disorders, notably the Schizoid, Paranoid, Borderline, Avoidant, and Schizotypal. Empathy lubricates the wheels of interpersonal relationships. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (1999 edition) defines empathy as:

Am I a horrible person for not having sympathy towards suicide victims??
I don't know, for someone to feel so much hurt and sorrow to just end its own life and not care... I actually feel pity for people who commit suicide on some level.


Explaining Away Empathy â Mental Illness and Reduced Compassion
In a series of studies, clinicians expressed less empathy and compassion for patients when symptoms of mental illnesses were explained with biological mechanisms.


-
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A factitious disorder is a condition in which a person acts as if they have an illness by deliberately producing, feigning, or exaggerating symptoms.


Am I a horrible person for not having sympathy towards suicide victims??
I feel no sympathy for people like some of you, and I hate the world because no one can ever tell how I really feel about something. All i do is put on a fake smile and continue with this living hell. I also hear voices, have urges, and see shadows. So if you still do not feel sympathy I get it. It just means your heartless... or ur screwed up in an ' unimaginable' way, or maybe thats just you. Im not saying this to be mean, like, i kill without hesitation. No fear or regret just for fun.


Explaining Away Empathy â Mental Illness and Reduced Compassion
Empathy is critical for health care providers. Especially in mental health care, empathy and compassion improve outcomes and enhance overall patient well-being. Thanks to innovative explorations into the way the brain works, mental illness is increasingly defined by biological mechanisms. But, new research claims that these biological explanations lead to less empathy for patients.

Cardiac surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center have implanted a heart pump in a 51-year-old man with advanced heart failure, marking the start of the first multi-center study to compare two different heart pumps as âdestination therapyâ for patients who are not eligible for a heart transplant.


Heart
The heart is enclosed in a protective sac, the pericardium, which also contains a small amount of fluid. The wall of the heart is made up of three layers: epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. The heart pumps blood with a rhythm determined by a group of pacemaking cells in the sinoatrial node. These generate a current that causes contraction of the heart, traveling through the atrioventricular node and along the conduction system of the heart.


Heart and Stroke Encyclopedia
When the heart is not pumping well, it can cause a backup of blood. This backup of blood causes fluid to leak from the blood vessels into the tissues. This is called congestion.. In the lungs, congestion may lead to difficulty breathing. In the ankles and legs, the congestion or backup of fluid causes swelling.


Types of Heart Disease
In heart failure, the heart is less able to pump blood. Heart failure may be caused by a number of problems, such as heart attack, coronary artery disease, and high blood pressure. In congestive heart failure, another heart condition, fluid builds up inside body tissues such as the lungs.


heart
Divisions of the Heart. The septum, a thick muscular wall, divides the heart into right and left halves. Each half is again divided into upper and lower quarters or chambers. The lower chambers are called ventricles and the upper chambers are called atria.


heart
The heart wall is composed of three layers of tissues. Its chambers are lined by a delicate membrane, the endocardium. The thick muscular wall essential to normal pumping action of the heart is called the myocardium. The thin but sturdy membranous sac surrounding the exterior of the heart is called the pericardium.


The Lymphatic System: How to Make It Strong & Effective
When someone has this condition, his or her heart cannot pump enough blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. Heart failure is often a chronic condition that can be treated with medications, diet, and other lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.

Brief Notes on Classical Nahuatl
Although there are still speakers of Nahuatl, it is probably safe to say that all but the most elderly among them are bilingual in Spanish, and in general, later Nahuatl shows influence of Spanish as well as a continuing evolution of trends that were already going on in early Nahuatl.ecause a knowledge Nahuatl was so important to the early Spanish, it was an object of scholarly concern already by the mid-XVIth century. Accordingly we have a long record of it, and in some ways this makes it one of the most interesting of the indigenous American languages to study.

There are many other drugs that can interact with paroxetine.Tell your doctor about all medications you use.aroxetine affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced. Paroxetine is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).


What Is Paxil (Paroxetine)?
Paroxetine may interact with other medications, so taking paroxetine with other drugs can affect how each drug works.

Definitions &Translations
Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency.The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.t is also referred to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency. The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.


Wave Parameters: Wavelength, Amplitude, Period, Frequency & Speed
A wave's frequency is the number of cycles that are completed in a certain amount of time. The symbol for frequency is the lowercase f and we measure it in cycles per second, which is the same as the unit hertz. A wave with a frequency of 20 Hz completes 20 wave cycles every second.e've got a measure of distance from the wavelength of the wave, and we've got a measure of time from the frequency. Wavelength is meters per cycle. Frequency is cycles per second. So, multiplying the two gives us meters per second.

Waves are described and measured by five wave parameters: the period, the frequency, the amplitude, the wavelength, and the speed. The period of a wave is the time it takes to complete one cycle. The frequency is just the opposite; it's the number of wave cycles that are completed in one second.Amplitude and wavelength are both measures of distance. The amplitude measures the height of the crest of the wave from the midline.e've got a measure of distance from the wavelength of the wave, and we've got a measure of time from the frequency. Wavelength is meters per cycle. Frequency is cycles per second. So, multiplying the two gives us meters per second.


Wave Period: Definition & Formula
The wave period is a very important property of a wave that measures the time it takes to complete one cycle. The standard unit of a wave period is in seconds, and it is inversely proportional to the frequency of a wave, which is the number of cycles of waves that occur in one second.n other words, the higher the frequency of a wave, the lower the wave period. The wave period is also dependent on the wavelength and the velocity. The higher the velocity, the lower the wave period, and the higher the wavelength, the higher the wave period.

(under construction). Wave period. Wave frequency is also related to another measurement called the wave period (T). The wave period is just how much time it takes for one cycle to pass and the units are always in terms of time.The faster a wave moves, its wave period becomes smaller.requency is a measurement of how often a recurring event such as a wave occurs in a measured amount of time. One completion of the repeating pattern is called a cycle. Only moving waves which vary their positions with respect to time possess frequency. Frequency is one way to define how fast a wave moves.


Wave Parameters: Wavelength, Amplitude, Period, Frequency & Speed
While period is measured in seconds per cycle, frequency is measured in cycles per second. Consider our wave with a period of 2 seconds. Since the wave completes one cycle every two seconds, then its frequency is one half or 0.5 Hz. So you see-period and frequency are reciprocals of each other.e've got a measure of distance from the wavelength of the wave, and we've got a measure of time from the frequency. Wavelength is meters per cycle. Frequency is cycles per second. So, multiplying the two gives us meters per second.

The unit of frequency is the hertz. The period (T) of a wave is the time that it takes for one complete oscillation. The unit of period is the second. The period and frequency of a wave are linked by the following relationship, The speed (v) of a wave is the distance travelled per unit time by the wave.The unit of speed is the metre per second, m s -1.The speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave are linked by the following relationship,he period and frequency of a wave are linked by the following relationship, The speed (v) of a wave is the distance travelled per unit time by the wave. The unit of speed is the metre per second, m s -1.


Frequency and Period of a Wave
In this case, there is 1 cycle per 60 seconds. So the frequency is f = 1 cycle / (60 s) = (1 / 60) Hz. Answer: A. Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second.he quantity frequency is also confused with the quantity speed. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. For a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given period of time.

The chelate formed from a mordant dye and a metal is called a lake. This term is derived from lac, a mordant dye obtained from an insect in India, and from which shellac is obtained. Over time the term lac has changed to lake and has come to be the generic term for all dye-mordant complexes.


mordant
morÂ·dant. 1. A substance capable of combining with a dye and the material to be dyed, thereby increasing the affinity or binding of the dye; for example, alum, a mordant commonly used to promote staining with hematoxylin. 2. To treat with a mordant.


-
The term is often applied to agents that are, in fact, not true mordants. A mordant is a metal with a valency of at least two. The two commonest metals used in histotechnology are aluminum and ferric iron, both with valencies of three. The attachment of mordants to dyes is by means of a covalent and a coordinate bond. This is otherwise known as chelation, and is a relatively common phenomenon. Stopping blood clotting by removing calcium ions with EDTA is an example.


-
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: By definition a mordant is a substance that set dyes. It doesn't really contribute to the coloring of the bacteria. The iodine in Gram stain fixes the crystal violet to the bacterial cell wall of the Gram positive bacteria. Source(s): College microbiology lab. Wei H Â· 9 years ago.


-
Two types of bonds are involved in the fundamental reaction between a mordant dye and a mordant. One is a covalent bond with a hydroxyl oxygen. The other is a coordinate bond with another oxygen (the electron donor). In the table below are the four most common configurations found in mordant dyes.

The Gram Stain: Theory and Procedure
The procedure is as follows: 1  Step 1: Cover the surface of the slide with crystal violet for one minute. 2  Step 2: Gently rinse the stain off the slide. 3  Step 3: Cover the slide with Gram's iodine for one minute. 4  Step 4: Gently rinse the Gram's iodine off the slide. 5  Step 5: Decolorize the slide with 95% ethanol.


The Gram Stain: Theory and Procedure
Gram's iodine serves as a mordant. A mordant is a substance that combines with stain or dye to enhance the staining ability. The iodine forms a tight complex with the crystal violet, forming compounds with a larger size.

Fact or Fiction?: Birds (and Other Critters) Abandon Their Young at the Slightest Human Touch
Inside, a baby oriole stretches its wings, attempting to trill. A little girl's face looms overhead. She reaches out her colossal finger to stroke the still-wet feathers. According to folklore, birds will reject their eggs and young if humans have so much as laid a finger on them. This prevalent belief, however, is for the birds: it denies animal parents' innate drive to nurture their broods and ignores a bird's basic biology.


-
Provide Warmth: If returning the bird to the nest is NOT possible, it is imperative that you provide warmth for the baby bird. Young birds are vulnerable to chill and pneumonia. When you hold the baby bird in your hand, it should feel warmer than your hand. Warmth can be provided with a hot water bottle or heating pad turned on to low. Snuggle the bird in facial tissue directly against the source of warmth, but be sure it is not too hot!!!.


-
And, yes, such identification may be difficult for young children to achieve. Yet, we know that the best way to guide children along the path of empathy is to introduce caring perspectives and practices on a consistent basis beginning in their early childhood years (Ryan, 1996).


-
The interviews were conducted one-on-one in a setting familiar to the children. Some pictures were used to help the children understand and stay focused on the questions. One picture was a photo of three baby birds in a nest. The mother bird was standing near the nest with a worm in her mouth.


-
Yes, we certainly did get that close to the nest, myself and 5 children. Baby birds are pretty exciting, and it was going to be an on-going project to watch and chart their growth. Would have been quite an experience! Now we've found a woodpecker's nest, but we can't get close to that one!


If You Touch a Baby Bird, Will Its Mom Abandon It?
Nestlings, though, could probably use a helping hand. Pick them up and put them pack in the nest, and their parents will not think any less of them if they smell a little bit like a human. What you should not do is take the little guys inside and try to care for them yourself. Sure, youâre at the top of the food chain.


Bird Myths: A mother will reject its baby if a human touches it
Despite the widespread belief that touching a bird will leave a human scent on it and therefore make other birds reject it, the story is absolutely false. Birds have a terrible sense of smell, so the idea that they can smell the scent of humans on a baby bird is pretty crazy. Someone once said the idea was akin to a human mother smelling a bird that landed on the top of her childâs head and then no longer wanting them in her house. Scientists and researchers have been handling baby and adult birds for years without birds abandoning the baby or ostracizing an adult from the flock.

One day, I discovered a nest of birds under the rafters of a barn. In order to get a closer look at the nest, I climbed to the top of the bales of straw. There I found four baby birds with their mouths wide open and their eyes tightly closed.


If You Touch a Baby Bird, Will Its Mom Abandon It?
Some of these babies would get their act together and find their way back into the nest. Some would get dragged off by neighborhood cats. A few got plucked off the deck by hawks (and, once, devoured as I watched). Whatever happened to the birds, though, my brother and I dutifully listened to our mother.


Warfarin
Prevention/treatment: If baseline INR is 1.0-1.3, administer loading dose of 0.1-0.2 mg/kg PO qDay Ã 1 day; check INR on days 2-4 and adjust daily dose to maintain INR between 2.0 and 3.0 (unless valve replacement indicates a higher range)


Vitamin K antagonist
Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are a group of substances that reduce blood clotting by reducing the action of vitamin K. They are used as anticoagulant medications in the prevention of thrombosis, and in pest control, as rodenticides. 1 Mechanism of action.


-
However, the effects of warfarin and related substances is prolonged (as a consequence of the mechanism of action) and it may take some days for the effect of vitamin K analogues to reverse the anticoagulant effects.


-
ANTICOAGULANT ANTAGONISTS are used to reverse the actions of ANTICOAGULANTS. As outlined at that entry, there are distinct classes of anticoagulants differentiated on mechanistic grounds.


Warfarin
1 AF and stable CAD: Adjusted-dose warfarin therapy (INR 2.0-3.0) without aspirin.  AF with high stroke risk and placement of stent: Triple therapy of dose-adjusted warfarin (INR 2.0-3.0), clopidogrel, and aspirin; for 1 month if bare metal stent; for 3-6 months for drug-eluting stent.


-
1 Initiate warfarin on day 1 or 2 of parenteral anticoagulation therapy (eg, LMWH or unfractionated heparin)  Overlap warfarin and parenteral anticoagulant for at least 5 days until desired INR (>2.0) maintained for 24 hours, then discontinue parenteral therapy.


Vitamin K antagonist
The term vitamin K antagonist is a misnomer, as the drugs do not directly antagonise the action of vitamin K in the pharmacological sense, but rather the recycling of vitamin K. Vitamin K is required for the proper production of certain proteins involved in the blood clotting process.


Warfarin
1 Hepatic impairment may potentiate warfarin response because of decreased metabolism and impaired synthesis of clotting factors. 2  Load: 0.1 mg/kg PO qDay Ã 2 days. 3  Typical maintenance dose: 0.1 mg/kg PO qDay; adjust dose to achieve desired INR.  Common maintenance dose range: 0.05-0.34 mg/kg PO qDay.

Difference Between Electric field and Electric Potential
â¢ Categorized under Physics, Science | Difference Between Electric field and Electric Potential. Electric field vs Electric potential. An electric field is present around a charge â either negative or positive. Any charged object can also acquire that field of electric force.


-
Electric Force. There is a certain force associated with electric charge, so when a net charge is produced, a net electric force is also produced. We find electric force at work in anything that runs on batteries or uses a plug, but that isnât all. Almost all the forces we examine in this book come from electric charges. When two objects âtouchâ one anotherâbe it in a car crash or a handshakeâthe atoms of the two objects never actually come into contact.


-
If we double one of the charges and double the value of r, we find: Doubling the charge on one of the particles doubles the electric force, but doubling the distance between the particles divides the force by four, so in all, the electric force is half as strong as before.


Contents: Electric Field vs Magnetic Field
The area around a magnet within which magnetic force is exerted, is called a magnetic field. It is produced by moving electric charges. The presence and strength of a magnetic field is denoted by âmagnetic flux linesâ.


Difference Between Electric field and Electric Potential
The electric field is a force that acts between two charges and it is somewhat analogous to the gravitational field force that acts between two masses. The only difference is that gravitational force will be dependent on the values of masses while electric force will depend on the amount of charges on objects.
