Alfred thayer mahan apush10/5/2023 ![]() He had an affection for old square-rigged vessels rather than the smoky, noisy steamships of his own day and he tried to avoid active sea duty. While in actual command of a ship, his skills were not exemplary and a number of vessels under his command were involved in collisions with both moving and stationary objects. ![]() interests during the final stages of the War of the Pacific. As commander of the USS Wachusett he was stationed at Callao, Peru, protecting U.S. In 1865, he was promoted to lieutenant commander, and then to commander (1872), and captain (1885). Commissioned as a lieutenant in 1861, Mahan served as an officer on USS Worcester and James Adger and as an instructor at the Naval Academy. He then joined the steam-corvette Pocahontas of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron and participated in the Battle of Port Royal in South Carolina early in the American Civil War. Early career Īfter graduation he was assigned to the frigate Congress from 9 June 1859 until 1861. Naval Academy, where he graduated second in his class in 1859. Against the better judgment of his father, Mahan then entered the U.S. He then studied at Columbia for two years, where he was a member of the Philolexian Society debating club. ![]() Mahan attended Saint James School, an Episcopal college preparatory academy in western Maryland. Mahan's middle name honors "the father of West Point", Sylvanus Thayer. Mahan was born on September 27, 1840, at West Point, New York, to Dennis Hart Mahan, a professor at the United States Military Academy and the foremost American expert on fortifications, and Mary Helena Okill Mahan (1815–1893), daughter of John Okill and Mary Jay, daughter of Sir James Jay.

Timi score and american10/5/2023 ![]() Median age of the patients was 70 years with 29.2% (118) of the patients aged 75 years and above. ![]() P-value less than or equal to 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Ī total of 404 elderly (≥65 years) women undergoing PPCI for STEMI were included in this study. The optimal cut-off value of TIMI risk score was determined by computing the Youden Index and patients were stratified based on optimal cut-off and in-hospital mortality and post discharge short term outcomes were compared between the patient groups. The predictive value was determined using area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of TIMI risk score with in-hospital mortality as state variable. ![]() The results of the logistic regression analysis were expressed as an odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence interval (CI). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed for the assessment of the association of TIMI risk score as well as other baseline characteristics of the patients, with post-procedure mortality. The categorical baseline and clinical characteristics were compared with study outcome by applying chi-square test, and the Mann-Whitney U test was performed to assess the TIMI risk score by study outcome. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to the examine the normality of the continuous variables such as age (years), symptom onset to ER arrival time (min), ER to Lab (min), total Ischemic time (min), and TIMI risk score and appropriate mean ± SD or median were calculated. (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, US) was used for the analysis of data. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0. Given that 1 in 4 middle aged adults present with evidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Pakistan, we aimed to determine the predictive value of TIMI risk score and its prognostic significance to profile the risk of mortality of elderly females who underwent PPCI in the largest ‘cardiac care center’ of the country. Moreover, elderly patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are poorly analysed and underrepresented in clinical trials. The validation of this risk score in the South Asian population is essential given the differences in genetics, lifestyle, and healthcare delivery in comparison to developed nations. However, data evaluating the usefulness of the TIMI risk score in the South Asian population remains scarce. The ‘Thrombolysis in myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score’ is a risk stratification model which has been shown to accurately predict post-PCI mortality in both genders, with the c-statistic value of 30-day mortality ranging from 0.72–0.84. Accurate post-PCI risk prediction in women is thus a necessity, to allow the delivery of appropriate therapeutic interventions to those at increased risk, and thus curtail mortality rates. A recent multicentre registry that included STEMI patients undergoing PPCI from 12 countries showed a remarkably higher 30-day mortality rate in women, as compared to men. Despite being the best management strategy with a decrease in number of re-infarctions, almost 10% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) die within three years, with women having a higher rate of adverse outcomes than men. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has played a significant role in reducing mortality rates in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.

Google trends 2020 united states10/4/2023 Further studies are needed to determine whether Google Trends is a reliable tool for investigating trends in public interest in cardiovascular disorders. There are several limitations to our study: 1) Google trends does not measure the prevalence of the condition but measures the relative interest in search terms which is influenced by factors associated with internet usage 2) inability to measure the absolute number of searches within a region 3) governmental control of search engines and language barriers could also impact the full spectrum of searches across the region and 4) lack of information from other search engines. The association between COVID and myocarditis may have been noted prior to first case report published in early April, as evident by small increases in search in “covid myocarditis” around March to April (Fig. The increase in relative search volume of “myocarditis” and “covid myocarditis” in COVID era around August to September 2020 could be attributed to increased awareness and knowledge about the COVID related cardiovascular complications including myocarditis over time or underreported cases of SARS-CoV-2 induced myocarditis. In our study, we used a novel, publicly available tool to assess the interests in the search terms related to COVID and myocarditis. d US state wise interest in the search term “covid myocarditis” c Worldwide interest in the search term “covid myocarditis”. ![]() b Relative search volume of “covid myocarditis”, “covid-19 myocarditis” or “coronavirus myocarditis” from February to October 17th 2020. (Fig.1d 1d).Ī Relative search volume of “myocarditis” from 2018 to 17th October, 2020. In the United States, RSV for “covid myocarditis” was highest in New Hampshire followed by Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Oregon and Kansas (Fig. ![]() The top 5 countries with highest search hits were Ireland followed by United States, Canada, United kingdom and India. Figure Figure1c 1c shows the search hits across the globe for “covid myocarditis”. Amongst the COVID and myocarditis related terminologies, “covid myocarditis” was the most popular search term from Feb to October 2020 (Fig. There was a significant rise in the search hits for “myocarditis” from 2018 to October 17th 2020, beginning around August 2020, peak in September 2020 followed by decline in October 2020 (Fig. Geographic trends for the search query “covid myocarditis” were plotted across the world and the United States. We also conducted a Google Trend analysis in the COVID era from 1st February, 2020 until 17th October, 2020 for the following terms: “covid myocarditis”, “covid-19 myocarditis”, “coronavirus myocarditis”. We performed Google Trends search on 17th October, 2020 to observe trends in the internet searches for “Myocarditis” from 1st January, 2018 until 17th October 2020. The region with the highest proportion of searches will have a RSV of 100 and other geographic areas will have RSV in relation to this. Second way is the popularity of a search term over the mentioned time period and can be compared between geographic regions. For example, an RSV of 10 would indicate that search term was 10% as popular as it was in the most popular week. The most popular week has a RSV of 100 and all other weeks are reported relative to the most popular week on a scale from 0 to 99. ![]() ![]() RSV can be measured in two ways : first is the popularity of a search term in a given week relative to other weeks in the mentioned time period within a geographic region. Google trends measures “popularity” or “interest” of a particular search query in relative search volume (RSV). We aimed to assess the worldwide interest in myocarditis in the COVID era using Google Trends.Īccounting for 75% of internet searches worldwide, Google Trends is a useful platform to observe trends over time and global and regional variations in interest on a particular topic. The prevalence of myocarditis in COVID patients is unclear, however reports suggest around 7% of deaths in COVID patients is secondary to myocarditis. Myocarditis can have a wide spectrum of clinical presentation ranging from mild symptoms including fatigue, chest pain to life threatening complications including cardiogenic shock, ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related myocarditis is thought to be secondary to “cytokine storm” or direct viral injury. Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart characterized by inflammatory infiltrates and myocardial injury without an ischemic etiology. Currently, there are 39.8 million cases and 1.11 million deaths reported from the disease worldwide. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by World Health Organization on 11th March 2020.

Millie peartree blueberry crumb cake10/4/2023 ![]() Save your future self some time and prep this macaroni ahead. Let it cool! Allowing the mac and cheese time to cool will help the custard set.Use whatever noodles you have on hand or go with a fun new pasta shape. If you don’t like sharp cheese please feel free to use mild or any other cheese you like. Getting your noodles cool to the touch will also ensure that the beaten eggs don't turn into scrambled eggs when you add your custard to the noodles. Feel free to use cream, half and half, or evaporated milk for even creamier mac, depending on how rich you want your mac and cheese to be. Don't skip the eggs! Whisking together eggs and milk and pouring it over the mac & cheese will make it extra creamy, saucy, and decadent. Layer it like a lasagna! Millie puts an entire layer of pure cheese in between two layers of (already cheesy) macaroni.Drain under cool water to stop noodles from cooking any further. Boil it for too long and your baked macaroni will be mushy. Make sure your pasta is super al dente.Millie Peartree's baked mac & cheese is famous for a reason! Here are five major takeaways to help you nail it: Word of the dish spread like wildfire and the cooking technique was passed orally through the enslaved community, creating a staple for the African-American and southern dinner table. Hemings learned of the dish during his travels to Europe with Jefferson and produced the cheesy, savory side we all know and love. Although the dish has European roots, the version Americans are familiar with today can be attributed to James Hemings, President Thomas Jefferson's highly skilled enslaved chef. Baked macaroni and cheese is a quintessential southern side dish.

Corn snake egg incubation10/4/2023 ![]() This study provides evidence that temperature has a significant impact on the development of corn snake pattern, effects that can strongly influence survival of this wide-ranging species at differing latitudes. Additional data on specific effects of temperature on both erythrin pigment and iridophore cell layers were also analyzed and decreased deposition of both were observed as incubation temperature decreased anecdotal evidence of increased melanin production was also noted. I got told they lay egg is batches up to 15 in one sitting then a week or so later they go. Image analysis was used to quantify differences between treatment groups significant impact on both color intensity and pattern structure, as well as other observable irregularities, was observed. The pet shop i go to has corn snake eggs all the time and they are deflated/dimpled. Unfortunately, we couldnt find other responsible homes for more snakes on such short. ![]() We made up our mind that we would like to incubate one egg and keep the baby ourselves. Four of the eggs look fertile, in one we can clearly see veins. Egg clutches were incubated under three temperature regimes (control and two lower temperatures) to evaluate effects on the level of pigment deposition/development and whether pattern phenotype is altered by exposure to temperatures below a standard average. Couple of days ago, our boy surprised us by being a girl and laying eggs. This experimental study used the Corn Snake (Pantherophis guttatus) as a model species, with parents (one male, two females) showing genetically-determined polymorphic traits. Pattern or color may also influence fitness via aposematism, crypsis, and other survival strategies however, thermal effects on pattern development have not been fully studied. lower mean temperatures during egg incubation can influence physical and physiological traits and incubation length to hatching, important in temperate regions or habitats with seasonal food supplies fluctuating temperatures may have additive effects.

Box of god10/4/2023 Yes, I too am thankful Lewis affixed his own name to “A Grief Observed”.Īnd for me, grief is all about having my beliefs challenged and even shattered. Lewis, my Facebook posts would have been flooded with admonitions and reproofs as godly friends and loved ones scrambled to correct my heretical thinking. I remember thinking as I shared some of his thoughts, that had the quote not been attributed to the great C.S. Only a pillar of the faith could have said those things and had them received and pondered. Lewis said some very controversial things in that book like the quote above about his fear, not of losing his faith, but of learning such dreadful things about God. Lewis was pressured to publish “A Grief Observed” under a pseudonym, but his words – so many quotes from that small missive – resonate within and like a giant “Me too!” for me. Only my ideas of Him could be contained in so small a space. God has broken out of my box– He was never really in it to begin with. Certainly this house that I built cannot contain you either.” “But, God, will you really live here with us on the earth? The whole sky and the highest heaven cannot contain you. What do people mean when they say, ‘I am not afraid of God because I know He is good’? Have they never even been to a dentist?”Īt the dedication of the Temple, Solomon prayed: My box for God included room for some pain and suffering -but definitely not enough space for Him to to allow the death of my child and plunge me into this abyss of grief and sorrow. I had decided that God acted in certain ways, that prayers guaranteed certain results and that my life as a believer in Christ was destined to be one of favor and blessing because I was honoring Him. Like Lewis, I’ve discovered that I had ideas about God, but that they were not necessarily true: “My idea of God is not a divine idea. I’ve had to pull out all my theological assumptions and compare what I thought I knew to what is in the Bible and what I have experienced in life. Grief has forced me to reexamine every notion I had of God and how He works in the world. The conclusion I dread is not ‘So there’s no God after all,’ but ‘So this is what God’s really like. The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. Not that I am (I think) in much danger of ceasing to believe in God. It brings me great comfort to know that one who was much more equipped to face a faith crisis found himself floundering in the ocean called sorrow and grief.īut he, like me, wasn’t sure he wanted to climb back in. His publishers and some of his close friends didn’t want people to know that this giant of the Christian faith, this celebrated apologist for believing Christ was shaken to the core by the death of his beloved bride. What many may not know is that he was pressured to publish it under a pseudonym. ![]() Lewis shared his grief journey after losing his wife in the book, A Grief Observed. I could quote verses for every occasion, open my Bible to any book without looking in the Table of Contents, and had something sprirtual to say about everything.Ĭ.S. I thought that after decades of walking with Jesus, reading and studying Scripture and wading through some fairly significant trials I had God pretty well figured out. It’s possible that you haven’t thought of it this way, but if you are a believer in Christ and have yet to walk through faith-shattering trials, you may have placed God in a box. ![]() Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer (1964) I never dreamed…’ I suppose it was at such a moment that Thomas Aquinas said of all his own theology, ‘It reminds me of straw.’ The most blessed result of prayer would be to rise thinking ‘But I never knew before.
