Rapid jump on psa12/31/2023 However, some men who have prostate cancer do not exhibit elevated PSA levels. This can lead to overproduction of PSA, and higher levels of PSA in the bloodstream. Prostate cancer causes cells to become malignant and multiply uncontrollably. The cancer’s stage is further determined based on two additional factors: the PSA level and the Gleason scale. This staging system is based on the size or extent of the tumor, the number of lymph nodes involved, and whether or not the cancer has spread or metastasized to distant sites or organs. Prostate cancer, like many other cancers, is described based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer‘s TMN (tumor, metastasis, node) staging system. Stages range from 1 to 4, with higher numbers indicating more advanced disease. Organizing prostate cancer into stages is done to communicate how far along the disease is, and to help plan treatment. This may interfere with prostate cancer screening and the accuracy of a PSA level test.Ī 2010 study found nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Aleve and Advil), statins (drugs that lower cholesterol) and thiazide diuretics (which treat high blood pressure) had a statistically significant impact on PSA levels when taken long term.įinasteride and dutasteride, medications commonly used to treat male-pattern hair loss and enlarged prostate, also cause reduction in PSA levels. A 2020 study found 34.6 percent of prostate cancer patients experienced UTIs.Ĭertain medications can actually lower PSA as a side effect. They can occur alongside other health issues in the prostate. Most urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria. In general, a higher PSA level indicates a higher chance of prostate cancer. ![]() In rare instances, prostate cancer can spread elsewhere in the body. The gland swells, and isn’t able to function properly. This occurs when malignant cells grow uncontrollably in the prostate’s tissues. Also called prostate enlargement, this condition can cause frequent and strained urination, and increased urination at night, among other symptoms. This refers to inflammation and swelling in the gland and surrounding areas, often due to bacterial infection. Several health factors and conditions related to the prostate can cause the gland to produce more PSA than normal.

Lifeboat cast12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Certain that the swamped collapsible would sink in minutes, Lowe left two dead men aboard this boat where they were, covering their faces with lifebelts. After that, Lowe had his crewmen raise the mast (he was the only officer to make use of the mast and sail in anylifeboat) using a breeze that had sprung up, he went on to rescue the passengers on the sinking Collapsible A. Hoyt, later died that night. Lowe's was the only boat to return for survivors. When he returned to gather survivors, he picked up only four men. Reluctantly, he waited until the screams died down before returning. The lifeboat he took back to the site of the sinking had no passengers and an excess of crewmen, saying "Is there anyone alive out there" to facilitate rescue. He redistributed the survivors in the group of lifeboats he had gathered, to ready his boat, number 14, for a search to find additional survivors. These were lifeboats 4, 10, 12, 14, and Collapsible D. He wished to return to pick up survivors but had fears of being swamped by hordes of people. When the ship foundered at around 2.20 AM, Lowe had begun to gather several lifeboats together. Harold Lowe attempting to rescue any survivors from the Titanic.Īfter reaching the water, Lowe ordered his lifeboat to be rowed about 150 yds (140 m) away from the Titanic. As lifeboat 14 was descending, Lowe used his pistol to fire three warning shots parallel to the ship in order to frighten away a group of men attempting to leap into the lifeboat. By the time lifeboat 14 was being launched, things were beginning to get precarious on the boat deck as the majority of passengers began to realize that the giant ship was foundering. Moody insisted that Lowe should get onto lifeboat No. 14 and 16 on the port side of the ship, the two junior officers felt that this group of boats needed to have an officer with them. Around 1.30 AM, Lowe engaged in a conversation with Sixth Officer Moody: While launching lifeboat Nos. Third Officer Pitman charged him with loading lifeboat No. He remained asleep through the collision and did not wake up until as much as half an hour had passed as he explained later, "We officers do not have any too much sleep, and therefore when we sleep, we die." When Lowe finally awakened when a seaman accidentally knocked on his window, and Lowe realized the situation, he immediately got dressed, grabbed his revolver, and went to work. On 14 April 1912, the night of the sinking, Lowe had been relieved at 8.00 PM by Sixth Officer Moody and was asleep in his quarters when the ship hit the iceberg at 11.40 PM. On the following afternoon (11 April), as Titanic steamed west from the coast of Ireland into the Atlantic Ocean, Lowe handed Captain Smith a cup of tea. When the Titanic departed Southampton at noon, Lowe was on the bridge, relaying messages to various parts of the ship by telephone. On sailing day (10 April), Lowe assisted (among other things) in the lowering of two of the starboard lifeboats to satisfy the Board of Trade that the Titanic met safety regulations. Lifeboat received three Academy Award nominations for Director (Hitchcock), Best Writing - Original Story (John Steinbeck) and Cinematography, Black-and-White (Glen MacWilliams).Like the ship's other junior officers, Lowe reported to White Star's Liverpool offices at nine o'clock in the morning on 26 March 1912, and travelled to board the Titanic at Belfast the following day. The stellar cast features the great character actors Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, John Hodiak, Heather Angel, Hume Cronyn, Henry Hull and Canada Lee. With its powerful interplay of suspense and emotion, this breathtaking classic is a microcosm of humanity, revealing the subtleties of man's strengths and frailties under extraordinary duress. Their problems are further compounded when they pick up a ninth passenger - the Nazi captain from the U-boat that torpedoed them. After their ship is sunk in the Atlantic by Germans, eight people are stranded in a lifeboat, among them a glamorous journalist, a tough seaman, a nurse and an injured sailor. Legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock ( North by Northwest, Psycho, Rope) directed this suspenseful World War II thriller, a remarkable story of human survival.

Siberian chipmunk12/30/2023 the red squirrel Sciurus vulgaris and dormice, Gliridae) has been speculated on, as well as predation on nests of native warblers (Sylvidae). Human risk of infection with the agent of Lyme borreliosis seems to be the highest where populations of alien Siberian chipmunk occur.Population size was correlated with the proximity to urban areas. Most introductions took place during the 1990s, when individuals were intentionally released (67% of extant populations result from such releases). The first records from Greece are also reported. The species was present in Austria, Sweden, and Hong Kong, and unsuccessful introductions occurred in Spain and the British Isles. Established populations of Siberian chipmunk, in most cases composed of small numbers of individuals, currently occur in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Russia.We summarise the current distribution of the ground-dwelling Siberian chipmunk Eutamias sibiricus, one of the most common pet squirrels in Europe and Asia, in its invasive range.Eradication and numerical control is needed for most introduced squirrels in Europe (including the Siberian chipmunk), according to European Union Regulation 1143/2014 on alien species. In the European Union, a trade ban has been imposed on some particularly impacting species, such as the eastern grey squirrel Sciurus carolinensis. The pet trade represents a high-risk pathway for the introduction of rodents, which are likely to become invasive because of their reproductive biology and wide native distribution ranges. ![]() In Europe, populations of five alien squirrel species are reported. Among invasive alien species, squirrels are prominent because of their popularity as pets and their positive perception by the general public.

Eastward ho12/30/2023 ![]() However, if they have a friend to vouch for them to some justice of the town, they may be bailed. Bramble tells Sir Petronel and Quicksilver that there are no judges in town till the next session, so the prisoners cannot be bailed. When Sir Petronel, Quicksilver, and Security are imprisoned, Bramble comes to the Counter to offer them legal advice. Because he believes that the fugitive masked lady is Bramble's wife, Security laughs, telling Bramble he sails to Cuckold Haven. ![]() Bramble notices that the masked lady's garments look very much like Winifred's, Security's wife, and he tells Security so. In fact, Security believes that Bramble's wife is eloping with Petronel. At the Blue Anchor tavern, the malicious Security brings Bramble along, apparently to take their leave of Sir Petronel. Master Bramble is the lawyer who draws the papers for the transfer of property from Gertrude to Petronel after the marriage and concomitantly for the sale of the land. Security explains they are praying for the success of their voyage, while Bramble observes cynically that the three adventurers are praying to god Bacchus.

Adaptations The novel repeatedly shows the Protestant English correcting the worst excesses of the Spanish Jesuits and the Inquisition. Ī prominent theme of the novel is the 16th-century fear of Catholic domination, and this reflects Kingsley's own dislike of Catholicism. Although originally written for adults, its mixture of patriotism, sentiment and romance deemed it suitable for children, and it became a firm favourite of children's literature. The novel consistently emphasises the superiority of English values over those of the "decadent Spanish". This was a raid in which the Spanish colonial city of Caracas in South America was captured and sacked by privateers led by Amyas Preston and George Somers.Īlthough originally a political radical, Kingsley had by the 1850s become increasingly conservative and a strong supporter of overseas expansion. The novel based its premise around the real life Preston Somers Expedition which took place in 1595. Westward Ho! is an historical novel which celebrates England's victories over Spain in the Elizabethan era. Kingsley dedicated the novel to Sir James Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, and Bishop George Selwyn, whom he saw as modern representatives of the heroic values of the privateers who were active during the Elizabethan era. Viola's use of "Westward ho!" in William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is an earlier reference. This elaborate title is intended to reflect the mock-Elizabethan style of the novel. The full title of Kingsley's novel is Westward Ho! Or The Voyages and Adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh, Knight of Burrough, in the County of Devon, in the reign of Her Most Glorious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, Rendered into Modern English by Charles Kingsley. "Ho!" is an interjection or a call to attract passengers, without a specific meaning besides "hey!" or "come!" The title is also a nod towards the play Westward Ho!, written by John Webster and Thomas Dekker in 1604, which satirised the perils of the westward expansion of London. The title of the book derives from the traditional call of boat-taxis on the River Thames, which would call "Eastward ho!" and "Westward ho!" to show their destination.

The same lexicon reports that αρχη ( arche) meant "a beginning, origin, first cause," but also " the first place or power, sovereignty, dominion, command." The Greek roots thus have considerable overlap, but the connotations of αρχη may have included a stronger sense of hereditary or historical primacy than those of κρατος.
