History of Proton Pump Inhibitors
Recently though, proton pump inhibitors have been linked to an increased risk of heart problems, kidney failure, dementia, and other serious injuries, and patients who believe they have been adversely affected by side effects of PPI drugs like Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec are pursuing legal claims against the makers of the medications, alleging that they failed to provide adequate warnings about the risks of PPI side effects.

Reproduction studies have been performed in pregnant rats at oral Lansoprazole doses up to 150 mg/kg/day [40 times the recommended human dose (30 mg/day) based on body surface area (BSA)] and pregnant rabbits at oral Lansoprazole doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (16 times the recommended human dose based on BSA) and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to Lansoprazole.


Primate Origins and Evolution: The First 50 Million Years
Arboreal hypothesis. (1) Smith and Jones. (2) Primate traits such as grasping hands and binocular vision were adaptations to life in the trees. (3) Moving from the ground to the trees caused selective pressures that resulted in the ancestral primate.

propliopithecids: This is a somewhat diverse group of fossil primates. Although they were larger in body size, they still showed signs of arboreal quadrupedalism. They had a 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 dental formula and ate mainly fruit. oligopithecids: These primates share many primitive features with the Eocene strepsirhines. However, they also share some derived features with contemporary haplorhines. Only some members of this group have a 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 dental formula.


Comparing Black People to Apes: Itâs Worse Than You Thought
The notion of blacks as apelike âbegan with the first European contact with Africans,â Phillip Atiba Goff, a UCLA psychologist who has studied the topic, says. You have to look no further than news about taunts (and tossed bananas) from the stands of soccer matches and hateful photos of Barack and Michelle Obama to realize how stubborn this association has been.

b) This is a relatively diverse group of fossil primates, the largest of which were the size of a guenon (African forest monkey); the smallest were the size of a marmoset. They had a 2.1.3.3/2.1.3.3 dental formula and unspecialized, primitive teeth. c) These primates share many primitive features with the Eocene strepsirhines.


Bipedalism
In humans, walking is composed of several separate processes: 1  Vaulting over a stiff stance leg. 2  Passive ballistic movement of the swing leg. 3  A short 'push' from the ankle prior to toe-off, propelling the swing leg. 4  Rotation of the hips about the axis of the spine, to increase stride length.


The Rise of Mammals
The Rise of Mammals: Although they came into their own only after the extinction of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, mammals had maintained a low-profile existence for some 150 million years before that. New fossil discoveries reveal more of this early history every year.

iPhone Killer: The Secret History of the Apple Watch
Swiping, after all, is what the knob was supposed to replace. So they made a custom dongle, an actual watch crown that plugged into the bottom of the phone through the cord jack. In a sense the first true Apple Watch prototype was, like 10,000 Kickstarter projects, just a weird iPhone case with a strange accessory sticking out of it. Clumsy prototype in handâwell, on wristâthe Watch team could start testing some of the core functions they hoped the device would take over from the phone.


iPhone Killer: The Secret History of the Apple Watch
The goal was to free people from their phones, so it is perhaps ironic that the first working Watch prototype was an iPhone rigged with a Velcro strap. âA very nicely designed Velcro strap,â Lynch is careful to add. The team built a simulator that displayed a life-size image of an Apple Watch on the screen.

Apple Watch and beyond: The strange history of smartwatches, in pictures
Despite the recent excitement about smartwatches it's not a new idea - the tech industry has been trying to come up with a viable watch-like computing device for decades. Here are some of the highlights.


iPhone Killer: The Secret History of the Apple Watch
There were MP3 players before the iPod, but Apple made you want one. The iPhone transformed the smartphone from business gear into pop culture. The iPad brought tablets in from the fringes, blowing past years of work by the likes of Nokia and Microsoft. For its fourth act, Apple chose a watch.


iPhone Killer: The Secret History of the Apple Watch
Apple decided to make a watch and only then set out to discover what it might be good for (besides, you know, displaying the time). âThere was a sense that technology was going to move onto the body,â says Alan Dye, who runs Appleâs human interface group.

Whatâs the Difference Between Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?
Deep Learning â A Technique for Implementing Machine Learning Herding cats: Picking images of cats out of YouTube videos was one of the first breakthrough demonstrations of deep learning. Another algorithmic approach from the early machine-learning crowd, Artificial Neural Networks, came and mostly went over the decades.


Machine learning
Machine learning is a field of computer science that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. The name Machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel. Evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence, machine learning explores the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data â such algorithms overcome following strictly static program instructions by ...


What is 'Artificial Intelligence - AI'
BREAKING DOWN 'Artificial Intelligence - AI' The basic idea behind artificial intelligence is that human intelligence can be defined in such exact terms that a machine can mimic it. The goals of artificial intelligence include learning, reasoning, and perception, and machines are wired using a cross-disciplinary approach based in mathematics, computer science, linguistics, psychology, and more.


What Is The Difference Between Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning?
Artificial Intelligence is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way that we would consider âsmartâ. And, Machine Learning is a current application of AI based around the idea that we should really just be able to give machines access to data and let them learn for themselves. Early Days Artificial Intelligence has been around for a long time â the Greek myths contain stories of mechanical men designed to mimic our own behavior.


Machine learning
Another categorization of machine learning tasks arises when one considers the desired output of a machine-learned system: 1  In classification, inputs are divided into two or more classes, and the learner must produce a model that assigns unseen inputs to one or more (multi-label classification) of these classes.

Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco
The International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses chose the designation human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 1986. With the discovery by Montaignier's group in late 1986 of the related HIV-2 virus in West Africa, the original virus became HIV-1.


Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco
HIV was first isolated in France in 1983 by FranÃ§oise BarrÃ©-Sinoussi in the laboratory of Luc Montaignier as lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV), but strong evidence that it was the AIDS virus did not appear until 1984, when four papers were published in one issue of Science by Robert Gallo and colleagues, who designated their isolate HTLV-III. The virus was also isolated in San Francisco in 1984 by Jay Levy, who published his findings a few months later in 1984 and named his isolate ...

HIV/AIDS infection is a serious health problem for Namibia. The direct health care costs for HIV/AIDS infected individuals has been estimated at N$21.6 million in 1996. This was 2.9% of the total national health care budget.


Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco
Nearly all cases of HIV infection in the United States are due to HIV-1. Reports of HIV-2 infection are rare. The first known case was a West African woman identified in 1987.


Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco
That proportion rose to 21% of the 1996 cases. That trend has continued but with a slower increase in the proportion of female cases to 23% in 1999 and to 26% in 2001. The distribution of new cases by race/ethnicity has also changed greatly in the first twenty years of the epidemic. The proportion of new cases in whites (not Hispanic) dropped from 60% in 1981 to 43% in 1996 and to 28% in 2001.


Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco
All fifty states have required reporting of AIDS diagnoses since early in the epidemic. A number of states adopted legislation that also required reporting of positive HIV test results, but throughout the 1980s most of the states with the largest numbers of AIDS cases did not report HIV test results.

The 1998 Namibian Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) HIV sentinel surveys indicate that the prevalence of AIDS is rising faster in Namibia than in any other country in Africa. In Namibia AIDS was first recorded in 1986 when four people were diagnosed HIV positive. Latest estimates of HIV prevalence for the Namibian population between ages 15 and 49 show a rate that exceeds 20%. Positive HIV tests have increased dramatically from 4 045 HIV-positive tests during 1988-92 to 53 330 cumulative HIV-positive tests in 1998.


Comprehensive, up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention from the University of California San Francisco
This appears to be the first confirmed case of HIV infection in the United States. The patient had no history of travel out of the country, so it is likely that some other persons in the United States were infected with HIV as long ago as the 1960s, if not earlier.


History of HIV and AIDS overview
In July, the WHO confirmed that HIV could be passed from mother to child during breastfeeding.39. In October, AIDS became the first illness debated in the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.40. By December, 71,751 cases of AIDS had been reported to the WHO, with 47,022 of these in the USA.

How Hot Air Balloons Work
Two months later, the Marquis Francois d'Arlandes, a major in the infantry, and Pilatre de Rozier, a physics professor, became the first human beings to fly. Other hot air balloon designs and ambitious flights followed, but by 1800, the hot air balloon had been largely overshadowed by gas balloons. One factor in this popularity decline was the death of Pilatre de Rozier in an attempted flight over the English Channel. The new balloon he built for the flight included a smaller hydrogen balloon in addition to the hot air balloon envelope. The fire ignited the hydrogen early in the flight, and the entire balloon burst into flames.


How Hot Air Balloons Work
But the main reason hot air balloons fell out of fashion was that new gas balloon dirigible designs were superior in a number of ways -- chiefly, they had longer flight times and could be steered. Another popular balloon type was the smoke balloon. These balloons were lifted by a fire on the ground, and did not have any attached heat source.

The Hindenburg was a rigid airship definitely in the Zeppelin design. 1  It had a gas capacity of 7,062,100 cubic feet and was powered by four 1,100-horsepower diesel engines. 2  Though most of the airship's interior consisted of gas cells, there were two decks (just aft of the control gondola) for the passengers and crew.


Hot air balloon
Modern hot air balloons, with an onboard heat source, were developed by Ed Yost, beginning during the 1950s; his work resulted in his first successful flight, on October 22, 1960. The first modern hot air balloon to be made in the United Kingdom (UK) was the Bristol Belle, built in 1967. Presently, hot air balloons are used primarily for recreation. Hot air balloons are able to fly to extremely high altitudes.


The Hindenburg
The Hindenburg, a giant in size and grandeur, first emerged from its shed in Friedrichshafen, Germany on March 4, 1936. After only a few test flights, the Hindenburg was ordered by the Nazi propaganda minister, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, to accompany the Graf Zeppelin over every German city with a population over 100,000 to drop Nazi campaign pamphlets and to blare patriotic music from loudspeakers.


The Hindenburg
On May 6, 1936, the Hindenburg initiated its first scheduled transatlantic flight from Europe to the United States. Although passengers had flown on airships for 27 years by the time the Hindenburg was completed, the Hindenburg was destined to have a pronounced affect on passenger flight in lighter-than-air crafts when the Hindenburg exploded on May 6, 1937. 1  Article. 2  List. 3  List. 4  List. 5  List. 6  Article. 7  Article. 8  Article.

Ending the Bloodshed
Surrenders, paroles, and amnesty for many Confederate combatants would take place over the next several months and into 1866 throughout the South and border states. Not until 16 months after Appomattox, on August 20, 1866, did the President formally declare an end to the war.
