"How did the term ""bullpen"" come about?"
Jon Miller, a baseball analyst with ESPN, said the term is derived from the late 19th century. The New York Giants first played at the Polo Grounds, which opened around 1880. The relief pitchers warmed up beyond the left-field fence. Out there in the same area was a stockyard or pen that had bulls in it.


"Where does the baseball term ""bullpen"" come from?"
It was all a cheap publicity stunt. One of the regulation features of early ballparks, supposedly, was a gigantic billboard advertising Bull Durham tobacco, inevitably located out in left field, near the pitchers' warm-up area. Hence the bullpen was the pen near the Bull. (Which, frankly, sounds like a lot of bull to me.)


Where did the term the 'bullpen' originate?
Since relievers warmed up in a nearby pen, the term bullpen was created. In the 1800s, jails and holding cells were nicknamed bullpens, in respect of many police officers' bullish features -- strength and a short temper. The term was later applied to bullpens in baseball. Casey Stengel suggested the term might have been derived from managers getting tired of their relief pitchers shooting the bull in the dugout and were therefore sent elsewhere, where they wouldn't be a bother to the rest of the team -- the bullpen.

Colonoscopy
Before a colonoscopy, let your doctor know about any special medical conditions you have, including the following: 1  Pregnancy. 2  Lung conditions. 3  Heart conditions.


Colonoscopy
The scope bends, so the doctor can move it around the curves of your colon. You may be asked to change position occasionally to help the doctor move the scope. The scope also blows air into your colon, which expands the colon and helps the doctor see more clearly. You may feel mild cramping during the procedure. You can reduce the cramping by taking several slow, deep breaths during the procedure.


Colonoscopy
Never stop taking any medication without first consulting your doctor. You may need to take antibiotics before the colonoscopy if you: 1  Have an artificial heart valve. 2  Have ever been told you need to take antibiotics before a dental or surgical procedure.


-
During a colonoscopy, the doctor uses a colonoscope, a long, flexible, tubular instrument about 1/2-inch in diameter that transmits an image of the lining of the colon so the doctor can examine it for any abnormalities. The colonoscope is inserted through the rectum and advanced to the other end of the large intestine.


Diet Before Colonoscopy Bowel Preparation
Preparing for a colonoscopy is important. Eating the right foods and following bowel prep instructions carefully cleans out your colon, giving your doctor a clear view to see your colon walls during your procedure.


Colonoscopy
Don't drive or go back to work for the rest of the day. If your doctor removed a polyp during your colonoscopy, you may be advised to eat a special diet temporarily. You may feel bloated or pass gas for a few hours after the exam, as you clear the air from your colon.


Colonoscopy
During a colonoscopy, you'll wear a gown but likely nothing else. Sedation is usually recommended. Sometimes a mild sedative is given in pill form. In other cases, the sedative is combined with an intravenous pain medication to minimize any discomfort. You'll begin the exam lying on your side on the exam table, usually with your knees drawn toward your chest.

Obligate parasite
Obligate parasite. An obligate parasite or holoparasite, is a parasitic organism that cannot complete its life-cycle without exploiting a suitable host. If an obligate parasite cannot obtain a host it will fail to reproduce. This is opposed to a facultative parasite, which can act as a parasite but does not rely on its host to continue its life-cycle. Obligate parasites have evolved a variety of parasitic strategies to exploit their hosts.

Why are viruses obligate intracellular parasites?
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that can be maintained only inside living cells. Whern we refer to something as obligate that indicates that the virus (in this case) must do or behave in the specified manner. Since viruses are obligate intraellular parasites, the term conveys the idea that viruses must carry out their reproduction by parasitizing a host cell.

Viruses gain entry and are specific to a particular host cell because portions of the capsid (or spikes of the envelope) adhere to specific receptor sites on host cell plasma membrane. Their nucleic acid then enters the cell, where the viral genome codes for production of protein units in the capsid.


BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY: VIRUSES
Viruses infect all sorts of cells, from bacteria to human cells, but for the most part tend to be host specific. For example, the tobacco mosaic virus infects certain plants; the rabies virus infects only mammals; and the AIDS virus, HIV, infects only certain human blood cells.

Study proves Lorenzo's Oil prevents rare disease in boys. Use of Lorenzo's Oil in young boys who have been diagnosed with but are not yet showing signs of a pediatric neurological disorder known as X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) may prevent the disease from developing in the body.


-
The Myelin Project is pursuing research into therapies that could actually restore the lost myelin, potentially reversing the damage done by the disease. They are funding two avenues of potential remyelinating therapies: transplantation of myelin-forming cells, and drugs that would replace the lost myelin.


-
This is the most common form of ALD, representing about 45% of all ALD cases. It is characterized by an inflammatory process that destroys the myelin, causing relentless progressive deterioration to a vegetative state or death, usually within five years.


-
It most severely affects boys and men. This brain disorder destroys myelin, the protective sheath that surrounds the brain's neurons -- the nerve cells that allow us to think and to control our muscles. It knows no racial, ethnic or geographic barriers.


Current Treatment Research
Current Treatment Research. Scientists are still searching for comprehensive treatments for ALD. For the cerebral onset, an approach is needed that would overcome some of the limitations and risks of stem cell transplantation and offer a wider therapeutic window than current transplantation or Lorenzoâs oil.


A to Z List of Neurological Disorders
Adrenoleukodystrophy News and Research. Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that cause damage to the myelin sheath, an insulating membrane that surrounds nerve cells in the brain.


Current Treatment Research
Four boys with ALD have been treated with gene therapy in France; the first received his transplant in September 2006, and the second in early 2007. The results of the first two boys were published in Science November 2009.


A to Z List of Neurological Disorders
The loss of myelin and the progressive dysfunction of the adrenal gland are the primary characteristics of ALD. ALD has two subtypes. The most common is the X-linked form (X-ALD), which involves an abnormal gene located on the X-chromosome.


Radar Basics
Radome. A radome is a structural, weatherproof enclosure used to protect an antenna. The material used in building the radome allows a relatively unattenuated electromagnetic signal between the antenna inside the radome and outside equipment.


Radomes
Damage and repairs to the radome skin and core can dramatically affect radar performance. OEMs provide criteria for electrical testing of repaired radomes that is currently specified in the specific aircraft modelsâ structural repair manual (SRM), component maintenance manual (CMM) and/or overhaul manual (OHM).

Radomes
Itâs patronizing to say that shortcuts and poor maintenance habits in the aviation industry can have deadly consequences. However, all too often, such practices are common in regard to the repair and maintenance of nose radomes.


Radomes
Impact damage to the radome, such as small punctures or cracks in the skin from bird strikes, small hail, lightning strikes, or rain erosion can permit moisture ingression into the core. Moisture will promote delamination of the core/skin bond and degrade electrical performance of the radome.

One study described treatment of fingernail deformities secondary to mucous cysts with removal of the osteophyte only, without excision of the ganglion or skin. In this study of 20 ganglion cysts, the ganglion did not recur in any patients, and two nails had residual grooves.


Mucous Cyst of the Finger
Symptoms of Mucous Cyst. A mucous cyst is found on the outer most joint of the finger, on the upper side where the nail is. It is usually visible just underneath the skin on the finger, sometimes having caused the skin to thin over the top.


Mucous Cysts of the Fingers
A mucous cyst is typically visible just under the skin on the finger. It may be painful. You may notice a groove in the fingernail just above the cyst. The groove is a result of pressure from the cyst on the nailbed. The skin over the cyst may have thinned.


-
Published: 20 July 2006. Mucous cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that form on the fingers. They are associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and usually develop in patients 50 to 70 years old. These cysts appear between the last joint of the finger and the bottom of the fingernail.


Ganglion Cysts
Surgical treatment is generally successful although cysts may recur. Your surgeon will discuss the best treatment options for you. Figure 1: Ganglion top side (dorsum) wrist. Figure 2: Ganglion end joint of finger (mucous cyst) Figure 3: Cross-section of wrist showing stalk (or root) of ganglion.

Ganglion cysts are very common lumps within the hand and wrist that occur adjacent to joints or tendons. The most common locations are the top of the wrist (see Figure 1), the palm side of the wrist, the base of the finger on the palm side, and the top of the end joint of the finger (see Figure 2).


Mucous Cyst of the Finger
In most cases of mucous cyst, the issue is not painful and quite often causes little to no problem or dysfunction. If the cyst begins to cause pain or dysfunction for the patient, or has recurrent drainage, or seems to be at risk of rupturing, then a doctor will assess the situation and decide on the treatment needed.


Mucous Cysts of the Fingers
A mucous cyst is a ganglion of the DIP joint. The cyst is attached to the joint by a stalk of tissue. Typically only one cyst appears, though an occult (concealed) cyst may also be found closer to the joint. Related Document: A Patient's Guide to Hand Anatomy.

Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texiansâboth Texas settlers and adventurers from the United Statesâto join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution. Several months previously, Texians had driven all Mexican troops out of Mexican Texas.

Watch for these things: Oncoming traffic is seen coming from the left. Left-turning traffic must cross oncoming traffic.


What is the reason behind left hand drive and right hand drive in different countries?
Immediate solution in US and Denmark was carts being pulled by multiple horses (higher horsepower, quite literally). The wagons did not have a seat and again, majority of right handed men decided to follow right hand convention. Going from right hand side of the road one could -.


Why Do the Brits Drive on the Left?
Oh and one last thing. In Japan, they historically drove on the leftâpartly by choice, partly because British engineers built their railway network to be left-hand driveâuntil 1945, when U.S. rule forced the Okinawa Prefecture to switch to the right. They returned to the left in 1978.

With regard to the surgical management of arthritis of the ankle and hindfoot, ankle arthrodesis. was first reported by Albert in 1882.4 Fusion of the tibia to the talus and the talus to the os calcis has been. performed using posterior extra-articular methods, employing techniques described by Staples.79.


-
Degenerative changes have been reported after subtalar. or triple arthrodesis in the ankle as well as in the joints of. the midfoot.3,5,12-14 Elimination of major shock-absorbing. joints in the subtarsal and midtarsal regions will place. abnormal stress on the ankle and midfoot and possibly lead.


-
We are aiming to compare the functional. outcomes of ankle arthrodesis and ankle. arthroplasty as treatment options for end-. stage ankle arthritis. Traditionally, ankle. arthritis has been treated with bracing, cheilectomy (a surgical âclean-upâ of the. joint), and realignment in its early stages.


What Is Arthrodesis?
It is also used in certain cases of painful osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as a pain relieving measure. It is important to understand the difference between ankylosis and arthrodesis. Ankylosis refers to a stiff joint irrespective of the cause for stiffness. Arthrodesis always means that the joint has been fused surgically. The main disadvantage of arthrodesis is that it sacrifices the movement of joint.

There is no. increase in the degenerative changes at the tibiotalar joint.


-
Subtalar or triple arthrodesis is used to correct deformity, relieve pain and achieve a plantigrade foot, but there is. little information regarding the outcome of either operation. Secondary osteoarthritis of the tibiotalar joint is a possibly. severe adverse effect of such arthrodeses, but there are no.


-
When the joint was no longer functional, ankle arthrodesis used to be the only option. However, there has since been an improvement. in materials and understanding based on. results from hip and knee replacements. I began doing ankle replacement surgery in the. 1990s for select patients who were not good.


-
A subtalar joint arthrodesis includes the denuding of cartilage between the talus and the calcaneus, and then fixating the site with a bone screw or multiple pins to maintain the position until bone fusion occurs. An arthroereisis is a joint-limiting operation that blocks some motion, but not all motion of a joint.
