Laparoscopic, Endoscopic, Thoracoscopic Surgery
While endoscopic surgery is a general term, laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, and arthroscopic surgery describe endoscopic surgery within the abdomen, thoracic cavity, and joint spaces, respectively.


-
INCIDENCE AND DEFINITIONS. The introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its sudden and widespread implementation in the early 1990s led to a dramatic increase in the frequency of biliary injury.


-
During an open cholecystectomy, the cut is made just below your ribs on the right side and goes to just below your waist. A less invasive way to remove the gallbladder is called laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This surgery uses a laparoscope (an instrument used to see the inside of your body) to remove the gallbladder.

Laparoscopic, Endoscopic, Thoracoscopic Surgery
As used in this policy, endoscopic surgery is a general term describing a form of minimally invasive surgery in which access to a body cavity is achieved through several small percutaneous incisions.


Laparoscopic, Endoscopic, Thoracoscopic Surgery
Endoscopic surgery may also refer to the use of a fiberoptic endoscope inserted through a body orifice into a body cavity such as the gastrointestinal tract, bronchi, uterus, or bladder. These applications of endoscopic surgery are not addressed by this policy.


-
Surgery to remove the gallbladder with a laparoscope does not require that the muscles of your abdomen be cut, as they are in open surgery. The incision is much smaller, which makes recovery go quicker. With laparoscopic cholecystectomy, you probably will only have to stay in the hospital for a few hours or overnight.

Karst
Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum.It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, dolines, and caves.It has also been documented for weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.egelkarst is a type of tropical karst terrain with numerous cone-like hills, formed by cockpits, mogotes and poljes and without strong fluvial erosion processes. It is found in: Cuba, Jamaica, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Puerto Rico, South China and Vietnam.


Karst Geomorphology
Karst terrain has distinctive characteristics of relief and drainage arising from the solution of soluble bedrock by natural waters. Features of karst terrains may include a variety of sinkholes, solution valleys, underground rivers, caverns, disappearing streams, towers, and distinctive conical hills.Although most karst is developed in limestone (CaCO3) or dolomite (MgCaCO3) it also forms in soluble evaporite deposits.ubhumid and semiarid steppe and savanna grasslands: Little to no karst development. 1  Reasons: 2  Very low precipitation. 3  During hot dry seasons groundwater tends to move upward and deposit carbonate rather than dissolve it. ** 4 Limestone in arid regions forms ridges and cliffs rivaling sandstone in its stability.


Karst Topography - Teacher's Guide and Paper Model
Karst Topography. The degree of development of karst landforms varies greatly from region to region. Large drainage systems in karst areas are likely to have both fluvial (surface) and karst (underground) drainage components.As stated in the introduction, the term karst describes a distinctive topography that indicates dissolution of underlying rocks by surface water or ground water.inkholes (also known as dolines) are surface depressions formed by either: 1) the dissolution of bedrock forming a bowl-shaped depression, or 2) the collapse of shallow caves that were formed by dissolution of the bedrock. These sinkholes or shallow basins may fill with water forming lakes or ponds.


Karst Topography
I n essence, karst topography is any region where the terrain has been dissolved by the physical and chemical weathering of the bedrock.arst topography is not cenralized to one spot, but it is spread out across the entire country.

Once this rock is uplifted above sea level by geologic forces, ground water percolates through it and slowly dissolves it, creating a variety of solution features. Thus, if water is present to dissolve the limestone, karst landscapes can develop in almost any climatic region, including arctic and arid areas.hina contains what is perhaps the most beautiful and extensive tower karst and it has significantly influenced the culture of this region. Tower karst also occurs in Papua New Guinea, Australia, Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.


Karst activity Geoindicator
ENVIRONMENT WHERE APPLICABLE: Karst is most common in carbonate terrains in humid regions of all kinds (temperate, tropical, alpine, polar), but processes of deep-seated underground dissolution can also occur in arid regions.arst regions are also important scenic attractions and can contribute significantly to the local economy, for example the Tower Karst around Guilin and Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky. The karst system is sensitive to many environmental factors and can form a significant geohazard.


The activation of ephemeral streams in karst catchments of semi-arid regions
This work presents an analysis of the response to rainfall of ephemeral streams in a karst semi-arid regions of southeast of Italy by an innovative approach. The analysis is based on a 2D simulation model of the behavior of a network of ephemeral streams.ndeed, floods and in general flash floods are relatively rare events for semi-arid karst regions; however, they can be really severe and disruptive, causing serious damages to people and infrastructures (Cotecchia, 2006 and Gabriele et al., 2006).


Karst Topography - Teacher's Guide and Paper Model
Our paper model shows features normally associated with karst topography. Sinkholes (also known as dolines) are surface depressions formed by either: 1) the dissolution of bedrock forming a bowl-shaped depression, or 2) the collapse of shallow caves that were formed by dissolution of the bedrock.These sinkholes or shallow basins may fill with water forming lakes or ponds.inkholes (also known as dolines) are surface depressions formed by either: 1) the dissolution of bedrock forming a bowl-shaped depression, or 2) the collapse of shallow caves that were formed by dissolution of the bedrock.

Karst activity Geoindicator
Carbonate karst can be either a sink or a source of CO. Though most abundant in humid regions, karst can also be found in arid terrains, either as relict karst formed during former wetter periods, or where H2S in groundwater rising from reducing zones at depth oxidizes to produce sulphuric acid.arst regions are also important scenic attractions and can contribute significantly to the local economy, for example the Tower Karst around Guilin and Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky.

Inherited Roth IRA
If you own a Roth IRA at death and it passes to someone other than your spouse, it will be included in your taxable estate. There is one way Roth IRAs provide an estate tax benefit. Roth IRAs contain after-tax dollars.That means the size of your estate has been reduced by the amount of tax you paid on those dollars.ne rule that does not change is the requirement for the Roth IRA to exist at least five years before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free. To be more precise, earnings can be withdrawn tax-free beginning on the first day of the fifth taxable year after the year the Roth IRA was established.


Inherited Roth IRA
Example: You inherit a Roth IRA that was established two years earlier. The Roth IRA includes $96,000 from a rollover contribution and $4,000 of earnings. You can immediately withdraw the entire $100,000 and pay tax (but no penalty) on the $4,000 of earnings.ne rule that does not change is the requirement for the Roth IRA to exist at least five years before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free. To be more precise, earnings can be withdrawn tax-free beginning on the first day of the fifth taxable year after the year the Roth IRA was established.

1 Assets in the Roth IRA can be passed on to heirs. 2  The Roth IRA does not require distributions based on age. 3  All other tax-deferred retirement plans, including the related Roth 401(k) , require withdrawals to begin by April 1 of the calendar year after the owner reaches age 70Â½. In 2008, one cannot contribute $6667 to a traditional IRA due to the contribution limit, so the post-tax Roth contribution may be larger. 2  On estates large enough to be subject to estate taxes, a Roth IRA can reduce estate taxes since tax dollars have already been subtracted.

And while estate taxes may have to be paid on the value of the Roth IRA upon your death, no part of the Roth IRA will be subject to income tax to your beneficiaries. This is completely different from a traditional IRA.The value of a traditional IRA will be included in your estate.ut the traditional IRA earnings will also be taxed as income to your beneficiaries. This could cause a very large combined estate/income tax to be assessed against your traditional IRA. A Roth IRA can eliminate much of this tax burden because Roth earnings are not subject to income tax, either to you or to your heirs.


How to Use a Roth IRA to Avoid Paying Estate Taxes
One of the greatest benefits of a Roth IRA, especially when compared to other investment assets such as a Traditional IRA or 401k retirement plan, is that a Roth IRA can be passed on to an heir when you die.ne of the greatest benefits of a Roth IRA, especially when compared to other investment assets such as a Traditional IRA or 401k retirement plan, is that a Roth IRA can be passed on to an heir when you die.

If you decide to have a non-spouse as your Roth IRA beneficiary, your rules will be a little different. When the beneficiary is not a spouse, that beneficiary must take the Roth IRA distributions: 1  By the end of the year containing the fifth anniversary of the account owner's death; or.ut the traditional IRA earnings will also be taxed as income to your beneficiaries. This could cause a very large combined estate/income tax to be assessed against your traditional IRA.

A Roth IRA can eliminate much of this tax burden because Roth earnings are not subject to income tax, either to you or to your heirs.


Roth IRA
In contrast to a traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Withdrawals are generally tax-free, but not always and not without certain stipulations (i.e., tax-free for principal withdrawals and the owner's age must be at least 59Â½ for tax-free withdrawals on the growth portion above principal). In 2008, one cannot contribute $6667 to a traditional IRA due to the contribution limit, so the post-tax Roth contribution may be larger. 2  On estates large enough to be subject to estate taxes, a Roth IRA can reduce estate taxes since tax dollars have already been subtracted.


Roth IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
Imagine having an account that grows tax-free during your lifetime and pays you tax-free amounts on a yearly basis! That is what a Roth IRA can be to your heirs, such as your children and grandchildren. This after-death tax-free growth is sometimes referred to as the stretchout IRA concept.he answer is that if you have a Traditional IRA or if you are considering converting a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you will still need to be concerned about the Required Minimum Distributions rules.

Rock Layers: Timeline of Life on Earth
One evidence is rock layersspecifically, what is called the geologic column. Basically, scientists have learned that rocks are stacked in layers containing fossils with the oldest fossils at the deepest layers, and the youngest, or most recent fossils, near the top. It's as if rock layers are a vertical timeline. At the bottom of the timeline there are no fossils of modern animals.


Confirmed: Oldest Fragment of Early Earth is 4.4 Billion Years Old
This mobility can throw off the lead isotope count used to calculate the zircon ages, and is the source of the decades-long controversy over the Jack Hills zircons' Methuselah lifespan. Jack Hills, Australia, where rocks were found to contain the oldest known minerals on Earth, a 4.4 billion-year-old zircon.


Rock Layers: Timeline of Life on Earth
Rock layers are usually ordered with the oldest layers on the bottom, and the most recent layers on top. The Law of Faunal Succession explains that fossils found in rock layers are also ordered in this way. There are thousands upon thousands of layers in the earth's crust.


Age of the Earth
The oldest such minerals analyzed to dateâsmall crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australiaâare at least 4.404 billion years old. Comparing the mass and luminosity of the Sun to those of other stars, it appears that the Solar System cannot be much older than those rocks.


Oldest Rocks on Earth Found
The Nuvvuagittuq Belt on the coast of the Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec is pictured. Scientists have found the oldest known rocks on Earth. They are 4.28 billion years old, making them 250 million years more ancient than any previously discovered rocks.

Comma Splices and Fused Sentences
Before going on to compound and complex sentences, you should be thoroughly familiar with the simple sentence. Here is a small review. A simple sentence is the same thing as an independent clause. Remember: a simple sentence (independent clause) consists of a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. Now this module will teach you about compound and complex sentences. Sometimes two independent clauses (two simple sentences) can be put together to form another kind of sentence: the compound sentence.

Rules for Finding and Fixing Comma Splices and Fused Sentences
Know the solution. To fix a comma splice or fused sentence, use one of the four strategies below. Because comma splices and fused sentences contain two main clauses, you can always add a period [a full stop] at the end of the first clause and then begin the second one with a capital letter. Take a look at the fused sentence below:


The Fused Sentence
Recognize a fused sentence when you see one. A fused sentence, also called a run-on, occurs when a writer has connected two main clauses with no punctuation. A main clause makes a complete thought, so you should not find two of them smashed together in a single sentence. The error looks like this: Main Clause + Ã¸ + Main Clause.


Rules for Finding and Fixing Comma Splices and Fused Sentences
When you are fixing a comma splice or fused sentence, subordinate conjunctions are the most tricky to use. There are two reasons that subordinate conjunctions are tricky: 1) there are many subordinate conjunctions to choose from, and 2) you must use the right punctuation.


Comma Splices and Fused Sentences
Pattern #2: Two independent clauses can also be joined into one compound sentence with a semicolon alone. (Note: You can use a comma between independent clauses only if you also use a coordinating conjunction.) To learn how to form a compound sentence like this, look at these simple sentences.

What is the Lifespan of an Indoor & Outdoor Cat?
The Lifespan of an Outdoor Cat. The typical lifespan of an outdoor cat is only 2 to 5 years There are many reasons for this. Outdoor cats tend to get into fights, resulting in injuries and the transmission of diseases. They can be struck by vehicles, encounter poisonous substances or fall prey to hostile dogs or humans.


Outdoor Cat Life Expectancy
Some people search for âaverage lifespan of outdoor cat or âlife expectancy of outdoor catâ. I hate to say it but people searching for this information are probably wasting their time because nobody is working out averages because it is rather pointless working out the average lifespan of an outdoor cat.


-
A completely outdoor cat can expect a life expectancy the same of a feral. ie. 3-5 years. An indoor/outdoor cat (50/50) can probably expect a lifespan of about 8-12 years. If they are well cared for, their life could exceed 12-15 years. A completely indoor cat can expect to live 15 .

For Patients. Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) is a statin drug, that works by slowing the production of cholesterol by the body, used to lower cholesterol and fats (triglycerides) in the blood and is used to reduce the chances of developing problems like heart disease and strokes that can be caused, in part, by high cholesterol levels.


-
A 2008 Crestor study examined 18,000 people and found an elevated risk for type 2 diabetes with statin use. Another study, published in 2010, revealed that the risk of diabetes increased by 9 percent for those taking statins. The 2010 study found evidence of people taking doses as low as 20 mg developing diabetes.


-
Side Effects of Crestor. Crestor can cause minor side effects like heartburn, constipation, coughing and difficulty sleeping. Serious complications can also occur, including type 2 diabetes, myopathy (muscle pain), liver damage, rhabdomyolyis (tissue deterioration) and death.


Crestor and elevated liver enzymes
It is possible that the Crestor is responsible for the elevated liver enzymes. I agree with the ultrasound and the blood tests for hepatitis. If the liver enzymes continue to rise, a liver biopsy should be considered. I would also discuss stopping the Crestor in light of the elevated liver enzymes. Abstaining from alcohol should also be considered. These options can be discussed with your personal physician. Followup with your personal physician is essential.

-
Infrequent but serious side effects of Crestor include rhabdomyolysis (muscle damage or destruction) that can lead to acute renal failure and liver damage. Crestor is available in tablets of 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg strengths. Usual dose ranges from 5 to 20 mg per day.
