His first son-in-law, Ernst Adolf Eschke, established a complementary site in Berlin, before assuming directorship of Leipzig after Heinicke's death. However, Eschke turned away from the oralist methods of his father-in-law in preference of Épée and Sicards manual sign language philosophies. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
The legacy in deaf education was further carried on by two more of Heinicke's son-in-laws, August Friedrich Petschke and Carl Gottlob Reich, respectively. Reich's own son-in-law, serves today as the school's current director.The school is still operational to date under the official name Saxon State School for the Hear... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
Gallaudet University was originally established as a grammar school for deaf and blind children under the name Columbia Institute for the Instruction of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. The school was founded in 1857 by Amos Kendall (1789-1869) on his estate. It was later renamed in commemoration of progressive educator and a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
As a result of intensive lobbying on the school's behalf by Kendall and Gallaudet, on April 8, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill that allowed the school to award college degrees to its graduating students. The first commencement ceremony took place in June 1869 with the graduation of three deaf men. The dip... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
1865 - The school's blind students were transferred to the Maryland Institution for the Blind, while the remaining institution was renamed the National Deaf-Mute College. 1885 - The school's Primary Department was moved into a new building to be known as the Kendall School in honor of namesake Amos Kendall. 1894 - The ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
1954 - The corporate name was also consolidated to Gallaudet College. 1966 - Congress authorizes The Model Secondary School for the Deaf to be established, which opened on campus three years later. 1970 - President Nixon signed Public Law 91-587 allowing the Kendall School to become the Kendall Demonstration Elementary... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
Gallaudet is known for its stalwart background in promoting the use of sign language as its primary modality of education and language acquisition. Among the primary influencers of this ideology was 18th-century physician Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell. It was he who employed Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, his neighbor at the tim... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
Gaulladet initially traveled to England wherein he attempted to gain insight on oral methods from an unwilling Thomas Braidwood. He then traveled to France where he became acquainted with a system derived from French Sign Language made popular by abbés Épée and Sicard. He later returned to the United States, accompanie... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and the school that would become his namesake, abandoned the original pursuit to bring oralism back to America at the time. As a result, the sign language used by the French Deaf community, as well as the system of manual French, were introduced into the United States. Over time, these evolved ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
The preference for a sign language based modality had been adapted by the school's founders and began to root in Deaf communities across the country. However, oral methods would eventually make their way to the US, as well. In similar controversy, Edward Miner Gallaudet would later assert that oral instruction is usual... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
Today, Gallaudet University is known with prestige for being the first institute of higher learning for deaf education. It is considered by both deaf and hearing people to be among the primary resources for all things related to deaf people, including education, ASL, Deaf culture, and other topics of relevance. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
The Israelite Institute for the Deaf of Germany was founded by a hearing man named Markus Reich. The school was opened to the public in 1873; however, its conception began around 1870-71 when Reich was taking his final teaching exams. At this time, he had noted the exclusionary treatment of the Jewish and Deaf communit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
The institution was originally located in a "small house in Fürstenwalde an der Spree". Reich was poor when he opened the institution and struggled to afford the school's expenses. He established a Jewish support organization for the deaf composed of wealthy community benefactors to help fund the continued efforts of t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
The school had a high level of educational training for its staff. This was supported by the results seen from final exams of the school's former students. In memorandum, Reich was noted for having embraced the use and practice of sign language, both in his teaching modality and in his personal life. The school was con... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
Reich's successor, Felix Reich, suggested in 1930 that the school's primary difference, in terms of teaching philosophy, was that the use of sign language was not discouraged. In likeness to his father's ideals, Felix asserted that, "the development of the mind and spirit, and not simply the acquisition of language, wa... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |
After Reich's death, Felix Reich, carried on his father's legacy from 1919 until the school's demise. The oppressive forces of Adolf Hitler's Nazi ideology made continuing the school's normal functions impossible. Nothing remains of this institution, save a well known plaque commemorating its existence. The plaque read... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_institutions_for_deaf_education |

Cunningham Park is a 358-acre (1.4 km2) park in the New York City borough of Queens. The park lies between the Grand Central Parkway to the south and the Long Island Expressway, and is bifurcated by the Clearview Expressway. The park is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_Park |
New York City acquired land to build a park, named Hillside Park, in 1928.Major W. Arthur Cunningham served in World War I as a member of the 165 Infantry of the United States Army. A resident of Forest Hills, Major Cunningham successfully ran as a Republican for the position of controller of New York City in 1933.Afte... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_Park |
Cunningham disclosed all the financial troubles of the city in order to better inform the public.Cunningham died of a heart attack while riding a horse in Asharoken, Long Island. He was 39 years old. His body was buried in Calvary Cemetery near Long Island City. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_Park |
Queens Borough President George U. Harvey considered Cunningham a dear friend of his, and he thought that Cunningham's untimely death was caused in part by his worries about the city's problems.In 1935, the Board of Aldermen voted in favor of renaming Hillside Park in honor of Cunningham.

Trichinosis, also known as trichinellosis, is a parasitic disease caused by roundworms of the Trichinella type. During the initial infection, invasion of the intestines can result in diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Migration of larvae to muscle, which occurs about a week after being infected, can cause swelling... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Complications may include inflammation of heart muscle, central nervous system involvement, and inflammation of the lungs.Trichinosis is mainly spread when undercooked meat containing Trichinella cysts is eaten. In North America this is most often bear, but infection can also occur from pork, boar, and dog meat. Severa... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
After the infected meat has been eaten, the larvae are released from their cysts in the stomach. They then invade the wall of the small intestine, where they develop into adult worms. After one week, the females release new larvae that migrate to voluntarily controlled muscles, where they form cysts. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The diagnosis is usually based on symptoms and confirmed by finding specific antibodies in the blood, or larvae on tissue biopsy.The best way to prevent trichinosis is to fully cook meat. A food thermometer can verify that the temperature inside the meat is high enough. Infection is typically treated with antiparasitic... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Rapid treatment may kill adult worms and thereby stop further worsening of symptoms. Both medications are considered safe, but have been associated with side effects such as bone marrow suppression. Their use during pregnancy or in children under the age of 2 years is poorly studied, but appears to be safe. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Treatment with steroids is sometimes also required in severe cases. Without treatment, symptoms typically resolve within three months.Worldwide, about 10,000 infections occur a year. At least 55 countries including the United States, China, Argentina, and Russia have had recently documented cases. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
While the disease occurs in the tropics, it is less common there. Rates of trichinosis in the United States have decreased from about 400 cases per year in the 1940s to 20 or fewer per year in the 2000s. The risk of death from infection is low. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The great majority of trichinosis infections have either minor or no symptoms and no complications. The two main phases for the infection are enteral (affecting the intestines) and parenteral (outside the intestines). The symptoms vary depending on the phase, species of Trichinella, quantity of encysted larvae ingested... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
A large burden of adult worms in the intestines promotes symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, dyspepsia, and diarrhea from two to seven days after infection, while small worm burdens generally are asymptomatic. Eosinophilia presents early and increases rapidly. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The severity of symptoms caused by larval migration from the intestines depends on the number of larvae produced. As the larvae migrate through tissue and vessels, the body's inflammatory response results in edema, muscle pain, fever, and weakness. A classic sign of trichinosis is periorbital edema, swelling around the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The classical agent is T. spiralis (found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals, both domestic and sylvatic (wild), but seven primarily sylvatic species of Trichinella also are now recognized: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
T. spiralis is most adapted to swine, most pathogenic in humans, and is cosmopolitan in distribution. T. britovi is the second-most common species to infect humans; it is distributed throughout Europe, Asia, and northern and western Africa, usually in wild carnivores, crocodiles, birds, wild boar, and domesticated pigs... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
T. nelsoni, found in East African predators and scavengers, has been documented to cause a few human cases. T. papuae infects both mammals and reptiles, including crocodiles, humans, and wild and domestic pigs; this species, found in Papua New Guinea and Thailand, is also nonencapsulated. T. pseudospiralis infects bird... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Nematoda Class: Adenophorea Order: Trichurida Family: Trichinellidae Genus: Trichinella | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The typical lifecycle for T. spiralis involves humans, pigs, and rodents. A pig becomes infected when it eats infectious cysts in raw meat, often porcine carrion or a rat (sylvatic cycle). A human becomes infected by consuming raw or undercooked infected pork (domestic cycle). In the stomach, the cysts from infected un... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The larvae then migrate to the small intestine, and burrow into the intestinal mucosa, where they molt four times before becoming adults.Thirty to 34 hours after the cysts were originally ingested, the adults mate, and within five days produce larvae. Adult worms can only reproduce for a limited time, because the immun... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The larval host cell becomes a nurse cell, in which the larva will be encapsulated, potentially for the life of the host, waiting for the host to be eaten. The development of a capillary network around the nurse cell completes encystation of the larva. Trichinosis is not soil-transmitted, as the parasite does not lay e... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Diagnosis of trichinosis is confirmed by a combination of exposure history, clinical diagnosis, and laboratory testing. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
An epidemiological investigation can be done to determine a patient's exposure to raw infected meat. Often, an infection arises from home-preparation of contaminated meat, in which case microscopy of the meat may be used to determine the infection. Exposure determination does not have to be directly from a laboratory-c... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Clinical presentation of the common trichinosis symptoms may also suggest infection. These symptoms include eye puffiness, splinter hemorrhage, nonspecific gastroenteritis, and muscle pain. The case definition for trichinosis at the European Center for Disease Control states, "at least three of the following six: fever... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Blood tests and microscopy can be used to aid in the diagnosis of trichinosis. Blood tests include a complete blood count for eosinophilia, creatine phosphokinase activity, and various immunoassays such as ELISA for larval antigens. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |

Public education about the dangers of consuming raw and undercooked meat, especially pork, may reduce infection rates. Hunters are also an at-risk population due to their contact and consumption of wild game, including bear. As such, many states, such as New York, require the completion of a course in such matters befo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Testing methods are available for both individual carcasses and monitoring of the herds. Artificial digestion method is usually used for the testing of individual carcasses, while the testing for specific antibodies is usually used for herd monitoring. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Larvae may be killed by the heating or irradiation of raw meat. Freezing is normally only effective for T. spiralis, since other species, such as T. nativa, are freeze-resistant and can survive long-term freezing. All meat (including pork) can be safely prepared by cooking to an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C) o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Pork: Freezing cuts of pork less than 6 inches thick for 20 days at 5 °F (−15 °C) or three days at −4 °F (−20 °C) kills T. spiralis larval worms; but this will not kill other trichinosis larval worm species, such as T. nativa, if they have infested the pork food supply (which is unlikely, due to geography).Pork can be ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Incidence of infection can be reduced by: Keeping pigs in clean pens, with floors that can be washed (such as concrete) Not allowing hogs to eat carcasses of other animals, including rats, which may be infected with Trichinella Cleaning meat grinders thoroughly when preparing ground meats Control and destruction of mea... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
swine producers "that will provide documentation of swine management practices" to reduce the incidence of Trichinella in swine. The CDC reports 0.013% of U.S. swine are infected with Trichinella. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
As with most diseases, early treatment is better and decreases the risk of developing disease. If larvae do encyst in skeletal muscle cells, they can remain infectious for months to years. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Early administration of anthelmintics, such as mebendazole or albendazole, decreases the likelihood of larval encystation, particularly if given within three days of infection. However, most cases are diagnosed after this time. In humans, mebendazole (200–400 mg three times a day for three days) or albendazole (400 mg ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
After infection, steroids, such as prednisone, may be used to relieve muscle pain associated with larval migration. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Researchers trying to develop a vaccine for Trichinella have tried using either "larval extracts, excretory–secretory antigen, DNA, or recombinant antigen protein." Currently, no marketable vaccine is available for trichinosis, but experimental mouse studies have suggested possibilities. In one study, microwaved Trichi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Depending on the dosage and frequency of immunization, results ranged from a decreased larval count to complete protection from trichinosis. Another study used extracts and excretory–secretory products from first-stage larvae to produce an oral vaccine.

In China, between 1964 and 1998, over 20,000 people became infected with trichinosis, and more than 200 people died.Trichinosis is common in developing countries where meat fed to pigs is raw or undercooked, but infections also arise in developed countries in Europe where raw or undercooked pork, wild boar and horse me... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
Historically, pork products were thought to have the most risk of infecting humans with T. spiralis. However, a trichinosis surveillance conducted between 1997 and 2001 showed a higher percentage of cases caused by consumption of wild game (the sylvatic transmission cycle). This is thought to be due to the Federal Swin... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The kashrut and halal dietary laws of Judaism and Islam prohibit eating pork.

As early as 1835, trichinosis was known to have been caused by a parasite, but the mechanism of infection was unclear at the time. A decade later, American scientist Joseph Leidy pinpointed undercooked meat as the primary vector for the parasite, and two decades afterwards, this hypothesis was fully accepted by the sci... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
The circumstances surrounding the first observation and identification of T. spiralis are controversial, due to a lack of records. In 1835, James Paget, a first-year medical student, first observed the larval form of T. spiralis, while witnessing an autopsy at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. Paget took special in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis |
A series of experiments conducted between 1850 and 1870 by the German researchers Rudolf Virchow, Rudolf Leuckart, and Friedrich Albert von Zenker, which involved feeding infected meat to a dog and performing the subsequent necropsy, led to the discovery of the lifecycle of Trichinella.

Drapery is a general word referring to cloths or textiles (Old French draperie, from Late Latin drappus). It may refer to cloth used for decorative purposes – such as around windows – or to the trade of retailing cloth, originally mostly for clothing, formerly conducted by drapers. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapery |
Drape (draping or fabric drape) is the property of different textile materials how they fold, fall, or hang over a three-dimensional body. Draping depends upon the fiber characteristics and the flexibility, looseness, and softness of the material. Draped garments follow the form of the human body beneath them. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapery |
In art history, drapery refers to any cloth or textile depicted, which is usually clothing.
