After heart surgery, the doctor will tell your loved one when he or she is able to return to daily activities. However, for the first 6-8 weeks, the following guidelines are generally recommended for patients recovering from heart surgery: 1  Gradually increase activity.


Heart Valve Surgery Recovery and Follow Up
What to expect after heart valve surgery. The normal recovery time after a heart valve surgery is usually four to eight weeks, and may be shorter after minimally invasive surgeries. Immediately after surgery.


Heart Valve Surgery Recovery and Follow Up
Follow-up care. You will most likely be checked within four to six weeks following surgery for a postoperative visit. After that, it is critical to get regular check-ups by a heart specialist. Clarify with your healthcare provide what symptoms would warrant a phone call or an additional recheck.


Can distance ever be negative?
Confidence votes 39. No. Distance is never negative, and total distance travelled doesn't decrease during a trip. The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A. Displacement, on the other hand, can be negative, and can decrease during a trip. The displacement from A to B is the same magnitude, but opposite sign, as the displacement from B to A.


negative distance
You can have negative distance. This kind of thing is found in special and general relativity. Mathematically a metric is how one defines the distance between near by points. Usually, the metric is defined as to always give positive distance.


Homework Help: Meaning of Negative Time
The complexities of the real world will always get in the way of simplistic and flawed mathematical models. So my initial thought was that there's no such thing as negative time. Obviously, however, that's not the correct answer, because let's face it; the question can't be that easy. The question could have started with just the velocity equation and asked us to find the meaning behind the negative time when we set v=0.


Why and how does negative velocity exist?
@AndrejSlavejkov Velocity is a vector. Vectors can't be negative, strictly speaking. But for a 1D vector (which can only be pointing two ways) you can call one way positive or forwards, and the other way negative or backwards. â immibis Jun 15 '15 at 14:43.

AirForceOne said: â. So my initial thought was that there's no such thing as negative time. Obviously, however, that's not the correct answer, because let's face it; the question can't be that easy.


Why and how does negative velocity exist?
@AndrejSlavejkov you are confusing speed and velocity. Speed is the absolute distance (positive) divided by absolute time (positive). Velocity is relative distance (end - start) divided by time. So if you move towards the negative axis, end is smaller than start and the number you compute is negative. If you like, as a vector you write velocity = speed * $\vec{\mathrm{direction}}$ and the sign of direction can be anything...


negative distance
#7. Any space with a null metric line running through it. It may be faster to go to the null line -- travel up the null line (which by definition takes no distance) -- and then travel to the second point than to take the straight line between points. For example, imagine a space with a null metric line running along the x=y, 45 degree line.


Is it possible for distance to be negative?
Distance has two meanings. One is a distance magnitude and the other is a direction vector. In a magnitude the value is always positive. For example the distance from Houston to New York City is always 1420 miles, never -1420 miles. However when talking about vectors that have both a direction and a distance value, then flying from Houston to NYC on a compass bearing of 50 degrees it is 1420 miles but on a compass heading of 230 degrees, it would be -1420 miles.

2. the term comes from the word honky-tonk, which was used as early as 1875 in reference to wild saloons in the Old West. Patrons of such disreputable establishments were referred to as honkies, not intended as a racial slur but still a disparaging term.onky. a derogatory term for a Caucasian person. there are three main theories for the origin of the word: 1. the word originated from the practice of white males wishing to hire African-American prostitutes in the 1920's, and going to the appropriate part of town while honking their car horns to attract the whores.


Honky
Possible meanings, origins and uses [edit]. Honky may be a variant of hunky, which was a deviation of Bohunk, a slur for Bohemian-Hungarian immigrants in the early 1900s. Honky may have come from coal miners in Oak Hill, West Virginia. The miners were segregated; blacks in one section, whites in another.ccording to Robert Hendrickson, author of the Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins, black workers in Chicago meatpacking plants picked up the term from white workers and began applying it indiscriminately to all whites. Father of the Blues W.C. Handy wrote of Negroes and hunkies in his autobiography.


Honky
Honky (also spelled honkie or sometimes honkey) is mainly a derogatory word for white people, predominantly heard in the United States.

Helicobacter pylori
H. pylori is found in the mucus, on the inner surface of the epithelium, and occasionally inside the epithelial cells themselves. It adheres to the epithelial cells by producing adhesins, which bind to lipids and carbohydrates in the epithelial cell membrane.


Update on Helicobacter pylori Treatment
Testing and treating for H. pylori in patients with GERD has not been shown to improve symptoms.29 In guidelines published in November 2005, the American College of Gastroenterology does not mention testing or treating for H. pylori in the diagnosis and treatment of GERD.30.


Helicobacter pylori
It is also linked to the development of duodenal ulcers and stomach cancer. However, over 80% of individuals infected with the bacterium are asymptomatic, and it may play an important role in the natural stomach ecology. More than 50% of the world's population harbor H. pylori in their upper gastrointestinal tract.


Update on Helicobacter pylori Treatment
Patients can be tested for the presence of H. pylori via invasive or noninvasive methods (Table 116â22). Although serology for immunoglobulin G often is chosen in the outpatient setting because of its convenience, it is less accurate than either the stool antigen or urea breath test.


Update on Helicobacter pylori Treatment
Although it is unclear whether eradication of H. pylori improves symptoms in patients with nonulcer dyspepsia, there is strong evidence that eradication of this bacteria improves healing and reduces the risk of recurrence or rebleeding in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcer.


Update on Helicobacter pylori Treatment
Until recently, the recommended duration of therapy for H. pylori eradication was 10 to 14 days. Shorter courses of treatment (i.e., one to five days) have demonstrated eradication rates of 89 to 95 percent with the potential for greater patient compliance.


Update on Helicobacter pylori Treatment
In a meta-analysis of 34 studies of patients with duodenal ulcers, H. pylori eradication plus antisecretory therapy was superior to an antisecretory drug alone for healing of the ulcer (number needed to treat [NNT] = 14).


What is a Microdebrider and what does it do?
A microdebrider is a type of hand-held surgical cutting tool with a rotary tip, often used for ear, nose and throat procedures. The microdebrider is usually employed to shave bone or other tissues.


Tuboplasty
Different types of tuboplasty can be distinguished:. 1  Tubal reanastomosis, involves resection of occluded tubal tissue and joining the healthy segments. 2  Fimbrioplasty, separating agglutinated fimbriae. 3  Salpingostomy, creating a new distal opening for the tube.


What is a Microdebrider and what does it do?
A microdebrider has three main componentsâ The console, handpiece and blade (or bit). The console is the electronic center of the device, and is usually controlled through a switch actuated by a foot pedal.


What is a Microdebrider and what does it do?
The microdebrider is often used by orthopedic surgeons to shave tissue in joints. Cosmetic surgeons also use them for liposuction and to treat conditions such as gynecomastia. Surgeons also use endoscopic debridement to treat some forms of obstructing laryngotracheal carcinoma.


What is a Microdebrider and what does it do?
Although this type of device found little use at the time, rotary vacuum shavers were later adopted for use in orthopedic surgery, and by the 1990s had been reintroduced into the field of otolaryngology in the form of a microdebrider for use in sinus surgery, tonsillectomy, turbinoplasty and adenoidectomy.


Turbinate Surgery
Need for additional procedures. There is a chance that inferior turbinate surgery will not be effective in accomplishing the goals of surgery. Another procedureâeither performed on the inferior turbinates or on another areamay be necessary to provide the desired relief of nasal obstruction.


What is a Microdebrider and what does it do?
How a microdebrider works. The microdebrider uses suction to pull tissue forward into the mouth of the blade, where it is cut. Constant or intermittent suction keeps the site clear of blood and already-cut tissue, so the surgeon enjoys better visibility of the work surface.


Turbinate Surgery
There are three pairs of turbinates that originate on the lateral walls of the nasal cavity inside the nose. When the inferior turbinates (the lowest pair) are enlarged due to a condition such as environmental allergies, they are a common cause of nasal obstruction. Reducing the size of the inferior turbinates improves nasal blockage because this creates more space for breathing through the nose.


Tuboplasty
Tuboplasty refers to a number of surgical operations that attempt to restore patency and functioning of the Fallopian tube (s) so that a pregnancy could be achieved.


Turbinate Surgery
By removing part of this bone and allowing the healing process to shrink the lining of the turbinate, the nasal passage increases in size. Radiofrequency inferior turbinate reduction is typically performed in the office without general anesthesia or sedation.

The basics: The German Pinscher was originally developed in Germany as a farm dog expected to kill vermin as part of its duties. Slightly bigger than the Miniature Pinscher but smaller than the Doberman, this once-common breed almost vanished in the aftermath of World War II.


Frequently Asked Questions About German Shepherds
Yes, German Shepherds can have short hair or long hair. Both coats are the same breed. But short hair is much more common. In some countries, longcoated German Shepherds are considered fine for showing and breeding, but in the U.S., long coats are frowned upon by the official clubs and show-dog breeders.


German Pinscher
They are happiest when they can run free in a supervised fenced yard. However, owners staying in apartments can take their dogs for long walks and jogs every day. German Pinschers are a healthy breed. Common health issues such as allergies, eye and thyroid problems may occur in some dogs.


Frequently Asked Questions About German Shepherds
Females stand about 22-24 inches and weigh 60-80 pounds. Some breeders, though, deliberately produce oversized giant German Shepherds that reach 28 or 30 inches at the shoulder and 140 pounds. Some of these dogs are ponderous -- a far cry from the athletic, agile build the breed is supposed to have.

Data Life Cycle
Data Life Cycle. The data life cycle provides a high level overview of the stages involved in successful management and preservation of data for use and reuse. Multiple versions of a data life cycle exist with differences attributable to variation in practices across domains or communities.


The data science project lifecycle
Ideally, the deployment includes performance tests to measure model performance, and can trigger alerts when the model performance degrades beyond a certain acceptable threshold. The optimization phase is the final step in the data science project life-cycle. This could be triggered by failing performance, or due to the need to add new data sources and retraining the model, or even to deploy improved versions of the model based on better algorithms. Agile development processes, especially continuous delivery lends itself well to the data science project life-cycle.

Thermus aquaticus*
Every organism contains DNA polymerase enzymes vital to their replication, but most will be denatured at high temperatures due to their protein composition. The DNA polymerase found in Thermus aquaticus remains stable even at very high temperatures. Because of this stability it can be used in the process known as the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. PCR is a technique used to amplify a piece of DNA by in vitro enzymatic replication.


-
1 The optimal temperature for Taq polymerase is about 75-80 o C, but it is partially active even at typical annealing temperatures so primer extension begins during the annealing step. 2  The rate of primer extension by Taq polymerase is about 50-100 nucleotides/sec.


Thermus aquaticus*
The enzyme Taq polymerase is found in the bacterial species Thermus aquaticus. It is a class 4 enzyme, which is the Lyase class of enzymes. A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the lyses of a substrate generating a double bond.


Thermus aquaticus*
This is why Taq polymerase is so important; it can be used over and over again in this chain reaction. The technique of PCR was developed by Kary Mullis in 1983. He received the Nobel Prize for this accomplishment ten years later. The first time Taq polymerase was purified was in 1976 by Chien et al.

W Grades
Unearned Grades. W Grades. A âWâ grade is recorded on your academic transcript when you withdraw from a course after the 22nd day into the semester (or after the 15th day in a block) up until the Withdraw deadline (roughly two thirds the way into the semester), for any reason.


W Grades
W grades are NOT calculated into your grade point average (GPA). W grades are considered non-progress grades. W grades remain on your transcript even if you re-take the class at a later date. If you are receiving Federal Financial Aid, you must check with the Financial Aid office to determine how W grades affect your eligibility.

3.64 GPA, But with W and WF Grades - What to Do/Say? Post by hysdreamer Â» Wed Sep 10, 2014 10:08 am I'm in my fifth and final year of undergrad and currently have a 3.64 GPA, but with two W grades and a WF grade. My school gives Ws when a student withdraws from a class at a late date, but doesn't penalize the student's GPA in those situations.


W Grades
If you are retaking a course and withdraw from the class, the W grade does NOT replace the previous grade. Also this retake does NOT count against your allotted retakes at BYU-Idaho. UW Grades. A UW grade represents an unofficial withdrawal which is given to a student who meets the following criteria: 1  The student did not complete proper withdrawal procedures from the course (i.e., did not drop the class within the established academic deadlines).


W Grades
F Grades. An F grade is appropriate when: The student does not have a record of non-attendance and the student's academic performance warrants a failing grade. The student's record of non-attendance began after the last date to drop a class without receiving the grade earned (June 15 for full-semester Summer 2008 classes or June 30 for second block Summer 2008 classes). Both an F and a UW are calculated into the GPA as a failing grade value (0.0).


W Grade Policy
Please see the W Grade Status Link under the PAWS Registration Services Application. Q: Do W grades that I received prior to the Fall 2006 semester count in the number of W grades I am allowed to receive? A: No, W grades received prior to Fall 2006 are not counted toward the number of W grades you are allowed. Q: Will I be allowed to resign and receive W grades? A: Yes, because W grades received as the result of resigning are not counted in the number of W grades you are allowed.


W Grades
To see the exact dates of these deadlines in the current semester visit Academic Deadlines. 1  W grades are NOT calculated into your grade point average (GPA). 2  W grades are considered non-progress grades. 3  W grades remain on your transcript even if you re-take the class at a later date.


W Grade Policy
Within the limits of the following table, âWâ grades do not affect a studentâs GPA; however, an excessive number reflects negatively on a studentâs record and involves substantial cost by way of tuition, books, room and board, and lost opportunities.


W Grade Policy
W Grade Policy To avoid schedule changes after the official registration period, students are encouraged to plan each semesterâs course work in consultation with academic advisers. Any schedule changes should be made as soon as possible after the beginning of classes.


W Grade Policy
Additional deadlines are listed for when students may add courses . A âWâ grade will be entered on a studentâs record for any course dropped between the deadline for dropping courses without receiving a grade of âWâ and the final date for resigning from the University and/or dropping courses.

Short-Acting Insulin Time Not Short
If you inject 10 units of short-acting insulin into obese subjects, there is not much difference in time to peak effect, he says. But the time is tripled with triple the dose -- the kind of dose an obese person with diabetes is much more likely to need.. This means that for obese people, short-acting insulin isn't short-acting. Ardilouze says it may take as long as 45 minutes to work -- a fact that doctors and patients don't know.

Amur tigers have the largest home range of any tiger subspecies because they have to search over large areas to find food due to low prey densities. They represent the largest unfragmented tiger population in the world.he Amur tigerâs habitat is now restricted to the Sikhote-Alin range in the Primorski and Khabarovsk provinces of the Russian Far East, small pockets in the border areas of China and possibly in North Korea.
