This is a memoir that addresses cumulative experiences from early childhood through adulthood, with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of a person's life through comprehensive reflection. ...We often have little or no control over our existence. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad. These experiences have culminated into womanhood, allowing more clarity and a full appreciation for each. Giving up or changing courses on one's own is always an option and there are times when one feels like doing just that. The truth of the matter is we all have had our moments. Most of us never would have made it this far had we tried to take matters into our own hands. Had we tried, we would have likely met more disastrous paths than the ones we have traveled. Nevertheless, it is our experiences that mold us into the people we are to become.
Pre-ovulatory pig follicles were superfused in vitro with oestradiol, LH or FSH in the presence and absence of indomethacin. Prostaglandin E2 ANd F2 alpha and oestradiol were measured in the same ...samples of superfusate. LH and FSH caused an increase in levels of both prostaglandins (approximately 2-fold) but the most marked effect was of oestradiol in PGE2 where a 4-fold increase in levels above controls was observed. In all cases indomethacin inhibited the effects. Both gonadotrophins caused an increase in oestradiol production although the response to LH was much slower than to FSH. The results show a possible relationship between FSH, oestradiol and PG synthesis in the pre-ovulatory pig follicle.
A successful method has been devised for teaching symbolism in high school classrooms. Five steps are involved: (1) Discuss symbols that people encounter frequently, many of which are not recognized ...as symbols; (2) Demonstrate the universality of symbols through visual stimuli; (3) Demonstrate the universality of symbols through aural stimuli; (4) Discuss abstract symbols (e.g., Humpty Dumpty representing more than an egg); and (5) Test students on their ability to recognize symbols on their own. The latter was successfully achieved using Hemingway's Old man at the bridge.
Abstract The population of older adults is expanding rapidly, and aging predisposes to cardiovascular disease. The principle of patient-centered care must respond to the preponderance of cardiac ...disease that now occurs in combination with the complexities of old age. Geriatric cardiology melds cardiovascular perspectives with multimorbidity, polypharmacy, frailty, cognitive decline, and other clinical, social, financial, and psychological dimensions of aging. Although some assume that a cardiologist may instinctively cultivate some of these skills over the course of a career, we assert that the volume and complexity of older cardiovascular patients in contemporary practice warrants a more direct approach to achieve suitable training and a more reliable process of care. We present a rationale and vision for geriatric cardiology as a melding of primary cardiovascular and geriatrics skills, thereby infusing cardiology practice with expanded proficiencies in diagnosis, risks, care coordination, communications, end-of-life, and other competences required to best manage older cardiovascular patients.
