Tendon injuries range from tendinitis (inflammation of a tendon) to a ruptured (torn) tendon. Torn tendons most often occur from: Overusing a tendon (particularly in some sports). The tendon stretches like a worn-out rubber band and becomes inflamed. Trying to break a fall. If thigh muscles contract, the tendon can tear. This is most likely to happen in older people with weak tendons. One type of tendinitis of the knee is called jumperâs knee.


Knee-jerk reflex

How is a ruptured knee tendon diagnosed?
A , Orthopedic Surgery, answered. A knee tendon rupture needs immediate attention. To diagnose this injury, your doctor may feel the gap in the quadriceps or patellar tendon by pressing the area just above or below your kneecap. X-rays won't show the tendon well, but may show that your kneecap is slightly out of place because it has lost connection with the muscle. The kneecap may sit abnormally low (called patella baja) in a quadriceps tendon rupture, or too high (called patella alta) in a patellar tendon rupture. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an imaging method that shows soft tissue, can reveal a partial or complete tear.


What Happens With a Quadriceps Tendon Rupture
The quadriceps tendon (quad tendon) is the large tendon just above your kneecap. The quad tendon is part of the extensor mechanism of the knee that includes the quadriceps muscle, the quad tendon, the kneecap (patella) and the patellar tendon. It is the extensor mechanism that allows us to straighten our knee or perform a kicking motion. When the quadriceps muscle (thigh muscle) contracts, force is transmitted through the quadriceps tendon, across the patella (kneecap), through the patellar tendon, and the knee is straightened. The quadriceps tendon is a thick, strong tendon that can withstand tremendous force.

There is no League Points inactivity decay for players Bronze, Silver and Gold Tiers. For players in Platinum, Diamond, Master & Challenger Tiers there is League Points inactivity decay over time-if you haven't played ranked in 28 days or 10 days if you are in the Challenger Tier.It decays per the set amount every 7 days afterwards until you play a ranked game.n seasons one and two, the system used a single ladder with ranking determined by Elo rating system. Since season three, the system uses six tiers with five divisions per tier, where ladder rankings within a league are determined by League Points (LP) and hidden Match Making Rating (MMR).


How do Master and Challenger tiers work?
Master and Challenger Tiers work a bit different from the others (Bronze-Diamond). First of all there is only 1 division in both but there is no upper limit in LP.Also the promotion from master to diamond happens automatically.Every 24 hours the MMR is checked and as soon as someone in master has a higher MMR than a certain Challenger player he will take his spot. In master there is no player limitation but the challenger tier is limited to 200 players.Also in both of these special tiers LP decay happens a lot faster than in Platinum/Diamond.lso the promotion from master to diamond happens automatically.

You'll freeze your lungs if you run in that frigid air, they say. You've maybe even thought it yourself: At what temperature will the cold air damage your lungs? Research shows that runners are not in danger of freezing their lungs, even in the coldest places on Earth such as the North and South Poles.


Thread: So what temperature do your lungs freeze at?
Freezing is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. -40C is 40 degrees Celsius below freezing. Freezing is 0 degrees Celsius. And moose have long snouts in part to prewarm the air to their lungs.

Can Cold Air Freeze Lungs?
The good news is that our bodies are highly adapted to living in cold weather and there are many built-in protections that ensure that our lungs will not freeze from cold air. First, air is immediately heated up when it reaches your nose and mouth due to mucous.


What Does Walking in Freezing Weather Do to Your Lungs?
Not only does your body feel uncomfortable during inclement weather, but your lungs are also affected when the temperatures freeze. The lungs function best in warm, humid weather. When you venture outside in freezing weather, you may find it difficult to breathe. Symptoms are worse if you have lung disease.


What Does Walking in Freezing Weather Do to Your Lungs?
It is said that freezing weather can chill you to the bone. Not only does your body feel uncomfortable during inclement weather, but your lungs are also affected when the temperatures freeze. The lungs function best in warm, humid weather.

Will My Lungs Freeze on a Cold Run?
So, you do not need to worry about freezing your lungs when you shoot for a run on the coldest day of the year. You do have to worry about frost bite of your nose and cheeks when you are running in extreme cold, especially if it is windy. A balaclava or face mask that covers your skin will reduce the frostbite risk.

I walk you though the process of disconnecting the old pool motor wires and connecting the new pump wires.


How To Wire A Pool Pump
If you are unsure of this voltage or are unfamiliar with electrical codes and regulations, have a professional electrician wire your pump for you or at least check your work. Failure to wire the pump correctly can cause electrical shock or can damage your pump motor and void your warranty.


-
depending on the voltage your hot wire is black, red, blue and white is the neutral on 120/250v. at 277/480 volts it is brown,orange, yellow and neutral is gray.if not sure wh â¦ at you are doing let someone who is qualified do the work.


-
When you come across this combination of mismatched wires, the  normal matching is black to brown, white to blue, and green or bare  to yellow green. There is often a diagra â¦ m on the motor that will  indicate which wires are hot, neutral, and ground.


Thread: 240 volt 3-wire pool pump hookup
It gets more complicated in my eyes, when you have a 240v gfci, say for a hot tub, that enlists a neutral. How does the 50 DP gfci know whether the load is 240 or 120. Thus you may have a 240v motor and a 120v light.


In my submersible pump, there are brown, blue and green/yell...
Typically the brown should be hot, the blue neutral and the green/yellow ground. However, I've had a cord that didn't meet this standard. The best way to determine this is to do a continuity check from the plug end to each of the wires.

Concrete Driveway Cost Guide for Repair or Replacement
Multiplied by the cost of concrete, youâre total concrete driveway cost will be $3,500-$5,600. If you are interested in knowing how much concrete you will use, hereâs how to do that. One yard of concrete will cover 81 square feet of ground 4 inches deep.It will require 1.5 yards of concrete to cover the same area to 6 inches deep. Depending on conditions in your area, your driveway contractor will suggest using at least 4 inches, and 6 inches is more common.n other words, if your driveway is 50 feet long and youâre going to but stone or brick along each edge, that would come to 100 feet, or about 100 square feet. This would increase the cost of concrete driveway installation by $200-$500.

Assessment & Selection Other Assessment Methods
Integrity/Honesty Tests An integrity test is a specific type of personality test designed to assess an applicant's tendency to be honest, trustworthy, and dependable. A lack of integrity is associated with such counterproductive behaviors as theft, violence, sabotage, disciplinary problems, and absenteeism. Integrity tests have been found to measure some of the same factors as standard personality tests, particularly conscientiousness, and perhaps some aspects of emotional stability and agreeableness.

In a sense, sociology and psychology have complementary biases re-. garding the self-concept.

An initial distinction must be made between the terms self and. self-concept.. Much confusion in social psychology over whether the self is. a process or a structure stems from the failure to distinguish between self.

How can i tell my neighbors to keep their dogs on a leash/chain and away from my dogs?
First off, you should get a fence even if it's cheap..you can continue to keep your dogs on a chain but with the fence it'll be harder or make sure the neighbors dogs won't come over to your yard. Second, you did nothing wrong and legally it's there fault for their dog being bit. You don't have to pay a thing.

My neighbors chickens are constantly in my yard ....
Hi, First, I would write a friendly letter to the neighbors and let them know that you would appreciate them keeping their chickens out of your yard. Keep a dated copy of the letter for later. That will give you documented evidence that you have to pursue any legal action.


How can i tell my neighbors to keep their dogs on a leash/chain and away from my dogs?
Report Abuse. First off, you should get a fence even if it's cheap..you can continue to keep your dogs on a chain but with the fence it'll be harder or make sure the neighbors dogs won't come over to your yard. Second, you did nothing wrong and legally it's there fault for their dog being bit.


How can i tell my neighbors to keep their dogs on a leash/chain and away from my dogs?
Tell them that there are leash laws and that you'll have to report them to animal control if they don't keep their animals inside their yard or tied up. Then follow up. They're banking on people wimping out just because they're low-lifes and have pit bulls.


How can i tell my neighbors to keep their dogs on a leash/chain and away from my dogs?
I would definitely give it another go at trying to ask them to keep their dogs on leash or at least out of your yard and away from you and your family. If you need to, express to them your concerns about their dogs and your family members.

Fructose and Glucose Metabolism
fructose can be synthesized from glucose by the polyol pathway - sorbitol is the sugar alcohol formed from glucose by the action of aldose reductase, which is rich in the lens, retina, peripheral nerves, and seminal vesicles.


Metabolism of Fructose Versus Glucose
However, glucose has a six-member ring, and fructose a five-member one. Keep in mind that fructose is an intermediate in glucose metabolism (i.e. glucose is converted into fructose at one stage in glycolysis), but that does not mean they have identical effects on the body.

How far ahead should you book to get low airfares?
A new analysis of 2012 airfares finds that booking about 14 weeks in advance of peak travel periods, like Thanksgiving, yields the lowest fares. (Photo: Barry Williams Getty Images) The self-proclaimed airfare geeks at CheapAir.com have analyzed 560,611,868 domestic airfare searches from 2012 and have some interesting, if qualified, conclusions.


How and when to book a cheap flight
Flights to Spain, for example, are at their cheapest (Â£153 for a return) five weeks before departure, while the cheapest flights to Greece (Â£228 return) are available just three weeks ahead. However, Filip Filipov of Skyscanner advises that while five weeks is the average, the optimum time to book your flight can vary significantly between destinations.


Flights are cheapest 5 to 16 weeks out in 2018: Hereâs when to book
North America to Asia/Pacific: 8 to 20 weeks is cheapest. As of 2016 it was necessary to book long flights between North America and Asia almost half a year in advance for the lowest fares, but in 2017 it seems that you can book between about 8 and 20 weeks to get something close to the lowest possible price on any flight.


How Far in Advance Should I Book Award Flights?

You might think that booking your flight as early as possibleâsay, a year in advanceâmight get you the best deal. But thatâs not always the case. How far in advance should you book your flight? According to FareCompare, the best time to book your tickets is on Tuesdays, ideally early in the morning. Many airlines launch sales late Monday night, so new fares will be available and other carriers drop their rates to match the competition.


How Far in Advance Should I Book Award Flights?
The gist is that award availability changes all the time (as airlines add and remove space, and passengers make and cancel reservations), so thereâs no single right answer about when to book your flight. You might find zero saver awards one day and half a dozen the next, so it pays to be persistent.
