Basic aromatic ring
Basic aromatic rings are aromatic rings in which the lone pair of electrons of a ring-nitrogen atom is not part of the aromatic system and extends in the plane of the ring. This lone pair is responsible for the basicity of these nitrogenous bases, similar to the nitrogen atom in amines. In these compounds the nitrogen atom is not connected to a hydrogen atom. Basic aromatic compounds get protonated and form aromatic cations (e.g. pyridinium) under acidic conditions. Typical examples of basic aromatic rings are pyridine or quinoline. Several rings contain basic as well as non-basic nitrogen atoms, e.g. imidazole and purine.

rogen atom. Basic aromatic compounds get protonated and form aromatic cations (e.g. pyridinium) under acidic conditions. Typical examples of basic aromatic rings are pyridine or quinoline. Several rings contain basic as well as non-basic nitrogen atoms, e.g. imidazole and purine.
In non-basic aromatic rings the lone pair of electrons of the nitrogen atom is delocalized and contributes to the aromatic pi electron system. In these compounds the nitrogen atom is connected to a hydrogen atom. Examples of non-basic nitrogen-containing aromatic rings are pyrrole and indole.
The basic aromatic rings purines and pyrimidines are nucleobases found in DNA and RNA.

Polaris Institute
The Polaris Institute is a Canadian think tank based in Ottawa, Ontario. Its stated goal is "to help empower citizen movements towards democratic social change". It was formed in 1997 in response to its view that citizens were becoming politically disenfranchised in an age of corporate driven globalization.
The catalyst for the formation of the organization was the passing of two controversial trade agreements, the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement of 1989 and the North American Free Trade Agreement of 1994.
The organization currently focuses its work on six projects:
- Water Rights: a multi-year campaign to promote public tap water and establish bottle water free zones’ | 17,805 |
1402679 | Polaris Institute | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polaris%20Institute | Polaris Institute
in schools, universities, colleges and municipalities supplemented with work on a comprehensive ban on bulk water exports plus solidarity actions with water justice struggles and movements in Mexico, South Africa, and India.
- Energy Transition: a multi-group campaign with other Canadian and US groups to put a cap on the production and export of crude oil from the Alberta tar sands and promote the development of clean and renewable energy sources.
- Indigenous Rights: an ongoing initiative led by indigenous activists committed to grassroots mobilizations in First Nations communities affected by tar sands development as well as an initiative to focus on the financial risk of investing on disputed | 17,806 |

First Nations lands.
- Climate Jobs/Green Economy: a program wherein Polaris has played a role in organizing a new nationwide alliance of the country’s major labor unions, environmental and social justice organizations to develop and promote a common policy platform for transitioning to a green economy.
- Corporate Profiles: ongoing critical analysis of the corporate power that influences government policy making. Work includes developing corporate profiles on some of the major corporate players and providing a rapid response mechanism for community and movement activists on corporate research matters. Current projects include profiles of water services corporations operating in Canada, the | 17,807 |

of water services corporations operating in Canada, the influence of corporations over immigration policy in Canada, research on foreign and Canadian mining corporations and the lobbying activities of tar sands industry.
- Global Justice: a program involving social movements and NGOs from around the world focused on corporate power [through the Global Campaign to Dismantle Corporate Power] and global trade justice issues [through Our World is Not For Sale]. These movements are engaged primarily in: challenging the GATS regime at the World Trade Organization; mobilizing resistance to the G20; and confronting the corporate capture of the United Nations.

Foakes v Beer
Foakes v Beer [1884] UKHL 1 is an English contract law case, which applied the controversial pre-existing duty rule in the context of part payments of debts. It is a leading case from the House of Lords on the legal concept of consideration. It established the rule that prevents parties from discharging an obligation by part performance, affirming "Pinnel's Case" (1602) 5 Co Rep 117a. In that case it was said that "payment of a lesser sum on the day [i.e., on or after the due date of a money debt] cannot be any satisfaction of the whole."
# Facts.
The appellant, Dr John Weston Foakes, owed the respondent, Julia Beer, a sum of £2,090 19s after a court judgment. Beer agreed that | 17,810 |
1402681 | Foakes v Beer | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foakes%20v%20Beer | Foakes v Beer
she would not take any action against Foakes for the amount owed if he would sign an agreement promising to pay an initial sum of £500 (£52,615.38 in 2012 adjusted for inflation) and pay £150 twice yearly until the whole amount was paid back. Foakes was in financial difficulty and, with the help of his solicitor, drew up an agreement for Beer to waive any interest on the amount owed. She signed. Foakes paid back the principal but not the interest. Then Beer sued Foakes for the interest. The question was whether she was entitled to it, despite their agreement that he would not need to pay it.
# Judgment.
## Queen's Bench.
At trial, the court found in favour of Foakes. Watkin Williams J upheld | 17,811 |
1402681 | Foakes v Beer | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foakes%20v%20Beer | Foakes v Beer
this decision, given the agreement between the two. Mathew J said,
## Court of Appeal.
On appeal, in a short judgment Brett MR instead held for Beer because there was no consideration for the agreement. Lindley LJ and Fry LJ concurred without giving considered opinions.
## House of Lords.
The House of Lords (Earl of Selborne LC, Lord Watson and Lord FitzGerald) upheld the ruling of the Court of Appeal in favour of Beer. They reasoned that though the agreement did not contemplate the interest owed, it could still be implied given an enforceable agreement. However, the promise to pay a debt was deemed "not to be sufficient consideration" as there was no additional benefit moving from Foakes | 17,812 |
1402681 | Foakes v Beer | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foakes%20v%20Beer | Foakes v Beer
to Beer that was not already owed to her.
Lord Blackburn, however, while not overtly dissenting, seemed to express reservations.
# Significance.
Barely more than a restatement of the ancient rule in "Pinnel's case", "Foakes v Beer" was effectively treated as "per incuriam" by Lord Denning in "Central London Property Trust Ltd v High Trees House Ltd", on the basis that in 1884 the court in "Foakes" had failed to pay cognisance to the 1877 case of "Hughes v Metropolitan Railway Co", which had introduced the concept of promissory estoppel.

Guy Ropartz
Joseph Guy Marie Ropartz (; 15 June 1864 – 22 November 1955) was a French composer and conductor. His compositions included five symphonies, three violin sonatas, cello sonatas, six string quartets, a piano trio and string trio (both in A minor), stage works, a number of choral works and other music, often alluding to his Breton heritage. Ropartz also published poetry.
# Life.
Ropartz was born in Guingamp, Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany. He studied initially at Rennes. In 1885 he entered the Conservatoire de Paris, studying under Théodore Dubois, then Jules Massenet, where he became a close friend of the young Georges Enesco. He later studied the organ under César Franck.
He was appointed | 17,815 |
1402659 | Guy Ropartz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guy%20Ropartz | Guy Ropartz
director of the Nancy Conservatory (at the time a branch of the Paris Conservatory) from 1894 to 1919, where he established classes in viola in 1894, trumpet in 1895, harp and organ in 1897, then trombone in 1900. He also founded the season of symphonic concerts with the newly created orchestra of the Conservatory, ancestor of the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy.
Ropartz was associated with the Breton cultural renaissance of the era, setting to music the words of Breton writers such as Anatole Le Braz and Charles Le Goffic. He also supported Breton regional autonomy, joining the Breton Regionalist Union in 1898. He also was the Honorary President of the Association des Compositeurs | 17,816 |
1402659 | Guy Ropartz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guy%20Ropartz | Guy Ropartz
Bretons that was founded in 1912.
In the early stages of World War I his friend and fellow composer Albéric Magnard was killed defending his house from German invaders. His house was destroyed, along with several musical manuscripts. Ropartz reconstituted from memory the orchestration of Magnard's opera "Guercoeur", which had been lost in the fire.
From 1919 to 1929 Ropartz was director of the Strasbourg Conservatory, which he moved into the building of the former parliament of Alsace-Lorraine. At the same time he undertook the direction of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Strasbourg, influencing young students like Charles Munch. Elected in 1949 as a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (5th | 17,817 |
1402659 | Guy Ropartz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guy%20Ropartz | Guy Ropartz
section, musical composition), he succeeded Georges Hüe.
Ropartz also served as a juror with Florence Meyer Blumenthal in awarding the Prix Blumenthal, a grant given between 1919 and 1954 to young French painters, sculptors, decorators, engravers, writers, and musicians.
He retired in 1929 and withdrew to his manor in Lanloup, Brittany. He continued to compose until 1953, however, when he became blind. He died in Lanloup in 1955.
# Style.
His musical style was influenced by Claude Debussy and César Franck. However he self-identified as a Celtic Breton, writing that he was the son of a country "where the goblins populate the moor and dance by the moony nights around the menhirs; where the | 17,818 |
1402659 | Guy Ropartz | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guy%20Ropartz | Guy Ropartz
fairies and the enchanters - Viviane and Merlin - have as a field the forest of Brocéliande; where the spirits of the unburied dead appear all white above the waters of the Bay of the Departed."
Shortly after Ropartz died, René Dumesnil wrote in "Le Monde": "There is with Ropartz a science of folklore and its proper use, which one admires; but more often than the direct use of popular motifs it is an inspiration drawn from the same soil which nourishes the work, like sap in trees."

In 2013, Kojima stated to be interested in developing a game with Gray Fox as the main playable character, although he does not assure it to happen.
# Reception.
The character was very well received by critics. In 2008, IGN ranked Gray Fox as both the third top "Metal Gear" villain ("whether players are rescuing Gray Fox, battling against him, or watching gleefully as he rips entire rooms of soldiers to shreds, Gray Fox never fails to impress") and the fourth best boss to battle in the series. That same year, Destructoid's Chad Concelmo also placed him twice | 17,834 |
1402613 | Gray Fox (Metal Gear) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gray%20Fox%20(Metal%20Gear) | Gray Fox (Metal Gear)
on the list of ten best "Metal Gear" bosses, as ninth (in "Metal Gear 2") and seventh (in "Metal Gear Solid", making "one of the greatest returns in videogame history"). In 2013, Sam Smith of "PLAY" ranked Gray Fox as the ninth best character in the series, noting that he "remains one of "Metal Gear"'s most popular and iconic characters."
"Complex" put Cyborg Ninja at number sixth on the list of characters they wished to see in "Super Smash Bros. 4", adding, "the "Metal Gear Solid" series has plenty of other characters to choose from, but we think the Cyborg Ninja would be the perfect selection." The return of Gray Fox as a playable character in "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" was requested | 17,835 |

He was also frequently featured in the lists of top ten fictional ninja characters in video gaming (and sometimes in all fiction), including by Virgin Media, Nich Maragos and David Smith of 1UP.com in 2004 (ranked fifth), Devin Coldeway of CrunchGear in 2008 (ranked ninth), Unreality in 2009 (ranked second), "Nintendo Power", Chris Jager of GamePro (ranked fourth), and ScrewAttack (ranked second) in 2010, Becky Cunningham of Cheat Code Central in 2011 (ranked fifth), and the staff of "PLAY" in 2013 (ranked third). Ian Dransfield of "PLAY" also featured him in the 2011 list top ten ninjas for PlayStation consoles, adding that | 17,836 |
1402613 | Gray Fox (Metal Gear) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gray%20Fox%20(Metal%20Gear) | Gray Fox (Metal Gear)
although Raiden "may have completely redeemed his character", he "can never outdo" Gray Fox, and in 2012 "Complex" Rich Knight of ranked him as the third swiftest ninja in gaming.
In 2008, IGN's Jesse Schedeen compared Gray Fox to Vergil from the "Devil May Cry" series as "two formidable warriors from the videogaming realm" who both "met their unfortunate ends in the games," stating Gray Fox has "left a big mark on the "Metal Gear" series." The demise of Gray Fox was featured in GameSpy's 2008 article about the series' eight top moments, ranked as the ninth top cutscene in the series by Jeremy M.

"FHM"'s Gelo Gonzales placed Cyborg Ninja first on their 2009 list of most memorable hitmen in gaming, adding that he "holds the title for the deadliest ninja ever." In 2012, Matt Elliott of "PlayStation Official Magazine" included Gray Fox among the PlayStation's top ten scariest characters, calling him "one of the most brutally unnerving bosses ever, largely because of his jarring, staccato introduction, often at odds with linear military narrative | 17,838 |

1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
Asherman's syndrome
Asherman's syndrome (AS), is an acquired uterine condition that occurs when scar tissue (adhesions) form inside the uterus and/or the cervix. It is characterized by variable scarring inside the uterine cavity, where in many cases the front and back walls of the uterus stick to one another. AS can be the cause of menstrual disturbances, infertility, and placental abnormalities. Although the first case of intrauterine adhesion was published in 1894 by Heinrich Fritsch, it was only after 54 years that a full description of Asherman syndrome was carried out by Israeli gynecologist Joseph Asherman. A number of other terms have been used to describe the condition and related conditions | 17,840 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
including: uterine/cervical atresia, traumatic uterine atrophy, sclerotic endometrium, and endometrial sclerosis.
There isn't any one cause of AS. Risk factors can include myomectomy, Cesarean section, infections, age, genital tuberculosis, and obesity. Genetic predisposition to AS is being investigated. There are also studies that show that a severe pelvic infection, independent of surgery may cause AS . AS can develop even if the woman has not had any uterine surgeries, trauma, or pregnancies. While rare in North America and European countries, genital tuberculosis is a cause of Asherman's in other countries such as India.
# Signs and symptoms.
It is often characterized by a decrease in | 17,841 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
flow and duration of bleeding (absence of menstrual bleeding, little menstrual bleeding, or infrequent menstrual bleeding) and infertility. Menstrual anomalies are often but not always correlated with severity: adhesions restricted to only the cervix or lower uterus may block menstruation. Pain during menstruation and ovulation is sometimes experienced and can be attributed to blockages.
It has been reported that 88% of AS cases occur after a D&C is performed on a recently pregnant uterus, following a missed or incomplete miscarriage, birth, or during an elective termination (abortion) to remove retained products of conception.
# Causes.
The cavity of the uterus is lined by the endometrium. | 17,842 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
This lining is composed of two layers, the functional layer (adjacent to the uterine cavity) which is shed during menstruation and an underlying basal layer (adjacent to the myometrium), which is necessary for regenerating the functional layer. Trauma to the basal layer, typically after a dilation and curettage (D&C) performed after a miscarriage, or delivery, or for surgical termination of pregnancy, can lead to the development of intrauterine scars resulting in adhesions that can obliterate the cavity to varying degrees. In the extreme, the whole cavity can be scarred and occluded. Even with relatively few scars, the endometrium may fail to respond to estrogen.
Asherman's syndrome affects | 17,843 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
women of all races and ages equally, suggesting no underlying genetic predisposition for its development. AS can result from other pelvic surgeries including cesarean sections, removal of fibroid tumours (myomectomy) and from other causes such as IUDs, pelvic irradiation, schistosomiasis and genital tuberculosis. Chronic endometritis from genital tuberculosis is a significant cause of severe intrauterine adhesions (IUA) in the developing world, often resulting in total obliteration of the uterine cavity which is difficult to treat.
An artificial form of AS can be surgically induced by endometrial ablation in women with excessive uterine bleeding, in lieu of hysterectomy.
# Diagnosis.
The | 17,844 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
history of a pregnancy event followed by a D&C leading to secondary amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea is typical. Hysteroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis. Imaging by sonohysterography or hysterosalpingography will reveal the extent of the scar formation. Ultrasound is not a reliable method of diagnosing Asherman's Syndrome. Hormone studies show normal levels consistent with reproductive function.
## Classification.
Various classification systems were developed to describe Asherman’s syndrome (citations to be added), some taking into account the amount of functioning residual endometrium, menstrual pattern, obstetric history and other factors which are thought to play a role in determining | 17,845 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
the prognoses. With the advent of techniques which allow visualization of the uterus, classification systems were developed to take into account the location and severity of adhesions inside the uterus. This is useful as mild cases with adhesions restricted to the cervix may present with amenorrhea and infertility, showing that symptoms alone do not necessarily reflect severity. Other patients may have no adhesions but amenorrhea and infertility due to a sclerotic atrophic endometrium. The latter form has the worst prognosis.
# Prevention.
A 2013 review concluded that there were no studies reporting on the link between intrauterine adhesions and long-term reproductive outcome after miscarriage, | 17,846 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
while similar pregnancy outcomes were reported subsequent to surgical management (e.g. D&C), medical management or conservative management (that is, watchful waiting). There is an association between surgical intervention in the uterus and the development of intrauterine adhesions, and between intrauterine adhesions and pregnancy outcomes, but there is still no clear evidence of any method of prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
In theory, the recently pregnant uterus is particularly soft under the influence of hormones and hence, easily injured. D&C (including dilation and curettage, dilation and evacuation/suction curettage and manual vacuum aspiration) is a blind, invasive procedure, | 17,847 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
making it difficult to avoid endometrial trauma. Medical alternatives to D&C for evacuation of retained placenta/products of conception exist including misoprostol and mifepristone. Studies show this less invasive and cheaper method to be an efficacious, safe and an acceptable alternative to surgical management for most women. It was suggested as early as in 1993 that the incidence of IUA might be lower following medical evacuation (e.g. Misoprostol) of the uterus, thus avoiding any intrauterine instrumentation. So far, one study supports this proposal, showing that women who were treated for missed miscarriage with misoprostol did not develop IUA, while 7.7% of those undergoing D&C did. The | 17,848 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
advantage of misoprostol is that it can be used for evacuation not only following miscarriage, but also following birth for retained placenta or hemorrhaging.
Alternatively, D&C could be performed under ultrasound guidance rather than as a blind procedure. This would enable the surgeon to end scraping the lining when all retained tissue has been removed, avoiding injury.
Early monitoring during pregnancy to identify miscarriage can prevent the development of, or as the case may be, the recurrence of AS, as the longer the period after fetal death following D&C, the more likely adhesions may be to occur. Therefore, immediate evacuation following fetal death may prevent IUA.
The use of hysteroscopic | 17,849 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
surgery instead of D&C to remove retained products of conception or placenta is another alternative that could theoretically improve future pregnancy outcomes, although it could be less effective if tissue is abundant. Also, hysteroscopy is not a widely or routinely used technique and requires expertise.
There is no data to indicate that suction D&C is less likely than sharp curette to result in Asherman's. A recent article describes three cases of women who developed intrauterine adhesions following manual vacuum aspiration.
# Treatment.
Fertility may sometimes be restored by removal of adhesions, depending on the severity of the initial trauma and other individual patient factors. Operative | 17,850 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
hysteroscopy is used for visual inspection of the uterine cavity during adhesion dissection (adhesiolysis). However, hysteroscopy is yet to become a routine gynaecological procedure and only 15% of US gynecologists perform office hysteroscopy. Adhesion dissection can be technically difficult and must be performed with care in order to not create new scars and further exacerbate the condition. In more severe cases, adjunctive measures such as laparoscopy are used in conjunction with hysteroscopy as a protective measure against uterine perforation. Microscissors are usually used to cut adhesions. Electrocauterization is not recommended.
As IUA frequently reform after surgery, techniques have | 17,851 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
been developed to prevent recurrence of adhesions. Methods to prevent adhesion reformation include the use of mechanical barriers (Foley catheter, saline-filled Cook Medical Balloon Uterine Stent, IUCD) and gel barriers (Seprafilm, Spraygel, autocrosslinked hyaluronic acid gel Hyalobarrier) to maintain opposing walls apart during healing, thereby preventing the reformation of adhesions. Antibiotic prophylaxis is necessary in the presence of mechanical barriers to reduce the risk of possible infections. A common pharmacological method for preventing reformation of adhesions is sequential hormonal therapy with estrogen followed by a progestin to stimulate endometrial growth and prevent opposing | 17,852 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
walls from fusing together. However, there have been no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing post-surgical adhesion reformation with and without hormonal treatment and the ideal dosing regimen or length of estrogen therapy is not known. The absence of prospective RCTs comparing treatment methods makes it difficult to recommend optimal treatment protocols. Furthermore, diagnostic severity and outcomes are assessed according to different criteria (e.g. menstrual pattern, adhesion reformation rate, conception rate, live birth rate). Clearly, more comparable studies are needed in which reproductive outcome can be analysed systematically.
Follow-up tests (HSG, hysteroscopy or SHG) are necessary | 17,853 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
to ensure that adhesions have not reformed. Further surgery may be necessary to restore a normal uterine cavity. According to a recent study among 61 patients, the overall rate of adhesion recurrence was 27.9% and in severe cases this was 41.9%. Another study found that postoperative adhesions reoccur in close to 50% of severe AS and in 21.6% of moderate cases. Mild IUA, unlike moderate to severe synechiae, do not appear to reform.
# Prognosis.
The extent of adhesion formation is critical. Mild to moderate adhesions can usually be treated with success. Extensive obliteration of the uterine cavity or fallopian tube openings (ostia) and deep endometrial or myometrial trauma may require several | 17,854 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
surgical interventions and/or hormone therapy or even be uncorrectable. If the uterine cavity is adhesion free but the ostia remain obliterated, IVF remains an option. If the uterus has been irreparably damaged, surrogacy or adoption may be the only options.
Depending on the degree of severity, AS may result in infertility, repeated miscarriages, pain from trapped blood, and future obstetric complications If left untreated, the obstruction of menstrual flow resulting from adhesions can lead to endometriosis in some cases.
Patients who carry a pregnancy even after treatment of IUA may have an increased risk of having abnormal placentation including placenta accreta where the placenta invades | 17,855 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
the uterus more deeply, leading to complications in placental separation after delivery. Premature delivery, second-trimester pregnancy loss, and uterine rupture are other reported complications. They may also develop incompetent cervix where the cervix can no longer support the growing weight of the fetus, the pressure causes the placenta to rupture and the mother goes into premature labour. Cerclage is a surgical stitch which helps support the cervix if needed.
Pregnancy and live birth rate has been reported to be related to the initial severity of the adhesions with 93, 78, and 57% pregnancies achieved after treatment of mild, moderate and severe adhesions, respectively and resulting in | 17,856 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
81, 66, and 32% live birth rates, respectively. The overall pregnancy rate after adhesiolysis was 60% and the live birth rate was 38.9% according to one study.
Age is another factor contributing to fertility outcomes after treatment of AS. For women under 35 years of age treated for severe adhesions, pregnancy rates were 66.6% compared to 23.5% in women older than 35.
# Epidemiology.
AS has a reported incidence of 25% of D&Cs performed 1–4 weeks post-partum, up to 30.9% of D&Cs performed for missed miscarriages and 6.4% of D&Cs performed for incomplete miscarriages. In another study, 40% of patients who underwent repeated D&C for retained products of conception after missed miscarriage or | 17,857 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
retained placenta developed AS.
In the case of missed miscarriages, the time period between fetal demise and curettage may increase the likelihood of adhesion formation due to fibroblastic activity of the remaining tissue.
The risk of AS also increases with the number of procedures: one study estimated the risk to be 16% after one D&C and 32% after 3 or more D&Cs. However, a single curettage often underlies the condition.
In an attempts to estimate the prevalence of AS in the general population, it was found in 1.5% of women undergoing hysterosalpingography HSG, and between 5 and 39% of women with recurrent miscarriage.
After miscarriage, a review estimated the prevalence of AS to be approximately | 17,858 |
1402675 | Asherman's syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asherman's%20syndrome | Asherman's syndrome
20% (95% confidence interval: 13% to 28%).
# History.
The condition was first described in 1894 by Heinrich Fritsch (Fritsch, 1894) and further characterized by the Czech-Israeli gynecologist Joseph Asherman (1889–1968) in 1948.
It is also known as Fritsch syndrome, or Fritsch-Asherman syndrome.

Portuguese Historical Museum
The Portuguese Historical Museum in San Jose, California, USA opened in 1997 and is a replica of the first permanent "império" (religious and cultural buildings primarily in the Azores) built in San Jose c. 1915. It is one of the featured attractions within History Park at Kelley Park.
Exhibits start with Portugal as it was during the period of European colonization of the Americas and Portuguese immigration throughout the world, and it then narrows the focus to Portuguese immigration to the United States, then to California, and finally settling in the Santa Clara Valley.

Alamillo Bridge
The Alamillo Bridge () is a structure in Seville, Andalucia (Spain), which spans the Canal de Alfonso XIII, allowing access to La Cartuja, a peninsula between the canal and the Guadalquivir River. The bridge was constructed as part of infrastructure improvements for Expo 92, which was held on large banana farms on the island. Construction of the bridge began in 1989 and was completed in 1992 from a design by Santiago Calatrava.
The bridge is of the cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type and consists of a single pylon, counterbalancing a 200 m span with thirteen lengths of cables. The original intent was to build two symmetrical bridges on either side of the island, but in | 17,875 |
1402733 | Alamillo Bridge | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alamillo%20Bridge | Alamillo Bridge
the end, the Alamillo's singular design has proved most striking.
With no economic constraints on construction, the goal was to create a bridge of symbolic importance.
This bridge represented the soaring aspirations of the city of Seville in preparation for Expo '92, and is visible from the top of La Giralda, the former minaret which is the sentimental roof of the city, linking Seville's past and present. Similar to the Brooklyn Bridge, there is an elevated walkway for pedestrians. In addition to the elevated walkway, the Alamillo Bridge features a lookout at the top of the mast, accessible by an enclosed stairway.
The Puente del Alamillo is the only bridge that is balanced solely through | 17,876 |
1402733 | Alamillo Bridge | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alamillo%20Bridge | Alamillo Bridge
added weights not requiring any type of back anchorage. There are 54 steel piles under the bridge, acting passively under the mast.
Calatrava's Sundial Bridge in Redding, California (2004), the Mesoghion Avenue Footbridge in Athens and Chords Bridge in Jerusalem are similar in design to the Alamillo Bridge.

1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
Morón Air Base
Morón Air Base is located at in southern Spain, approximately southeast of the city of Seville. The base gets its name from the nearby town of Morón de la Frontera while is located inside Arahal municipality territory.
Currently the base is home to Ala 11, a fighter wing of Eurofighter Typhoons, and a maritime patrol squadron, both of the Spanish Air Force.
# Origins.
Construction on the Vázquez Sagastizábal Military Aerodrome, as Morón Air Base was initially known, began in 1940. The following year it began to function as a military airfield and was utilised to train fighter pilots for the Spanish Army Air Force.
In 1953, the Spanish and American governments finalized agreements | 17,880 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
to establish a number of Spanish-American air bases, including Morón Air Base. Morón was one of three major USAF Cold War airbases in Spain, the others being Zaragoza Air Base near Zaragoza and Torrejón Air Base near Madrid. Construction efforts began in 1953 under the direction of the United States Navy, taking over 3 years to complete.
On May 13, 1958, the first flight of Boeing B-47 Stratojets were assigned to Morón Air Base to conduct Reflex operations and then Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighters arrived to conduct strip alert tanker missions, and 6 weeks later the first rotational fighter squadron, the 1st Fighter-Day Squadron, flying North American F-100 Super Sabres and commanded by Lt. Col. | 17,881 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
Chuck Yeager, arrived from George Air Force Base, CA, for temporary duty to conduct air defence alert.
Morón continued to operate primarily as a Reflex base until 1962, when the first Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft arrived. In 1966, the base was transferred from Strategic Air Command (SAC) to United States Air Forces Europe (USAFE). The mission changed to communications support, Temporary Duty (TDY) "fair weather" flying operations for McDonnell Douglas RF-4C Phantom IIs from RAF Alconbury, and McDonnell RF-101 Voodoo from RAF Upper Heyford, United Kingdom and the support of air rescue operations provided by the 67th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron.
# Drawdown.
In 1971, Morón | 17,882 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
Air Base was designated to a "modified caretaker status". The Torrejón Air Base was designated as the Primary Support Base (PSB) for the Spanish Air Force. A small Spanish Air Force contingent of F-5 Freedom Fighters used the air base during the 1980s. Most of its buildings were empty and on-base services were severely limited.
In November 1983, during the joint Spanish-American military exercise CRISEX 83, U.S. Air Force B-52 strategic bombers were allowed once again to enter Spanish air space and use the Morón Air Base. All B-52s had been previously banned from entering Spanish air space after the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash on January, 17, 1966, near Palomares, when a B-52G (s/n 58-0256) being | 17,883 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
refueled in midair collided with a KC-135 Stratotanker (s/n 61-0273). The B-52 was carrying four hydrogen bombs. Two of these disintegrated on impact with the ground, dispersing particles of radioactive plutonium over the landscape.
One intact H-bomb landed via parachute in a stream near Palomares. The fourth H-bomb fell via parachute into the Mediterranean Sea, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) off the Spanish coast, and it disappeared into deep water. A search lasting for three months using about 12,000 men ensued to try to find the H-bomb. Despite the use of electronic detection equipment by the U.S. Navy, it was never found this way. The H-bomb was finally located after some Spanish commercial | 17,884 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
fishermen came forward, after a long delay, to say that they had seen the bomb parachuting into the sea.
In 1984, Morón became a NASA Space Shuttle Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL) site. Special navigation and landing aids were installed, and Spanish personnel were trained to recover the Space Shuttle Orbiter after an emergency landing -- one that never came. In addition during the 1980 and 1990s, U.S. Air Force airmen deployed to Morón during Shuttle launching periods to help provide onsite weather reporting.
# Post Cold War.
In 1990, Strategic Air Command deployed 22 KC-135 and McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender tankers to provide aerial refuelling for Operation Desert Shield and changed | 17,885 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
Morón Air Base's U.S. function from refueling to bomber operations. The 801st Bomb Wing (Provisional) at Morón Air Base consisted of 24 Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, 3 KC-135s and over 2,800 personnel. This was the largest deployed bomber wing during the war.
During 1991, the basing plan for Spain called for retaining Morón AB, along with Torrejón Air Base, and Naval Station Rota, but on a drastically reduced scale. In 1995, the 496th Air Base Squadron (496th ABS) was activated to replace the 712th Air Base Flight. Also at this time, USAFE redesignated Morón as a limited-use base, defined as austerely manned and no permanently assigned operational tactical forces. Throughout this time it was | 17,886 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
used as a staging base to support deployments. It was heavily used during the Gulf War by B-52s and tankers and during Operation Restore Hope and Operation Allied Force. Throughout 1995 to 1997, Morón became a popular staging area to host Coronet East movements to and from Turkey and Southwest Asia with over 95 fighter and tanker missions. In 1996, the 496th was placed under the 31st Support Group of Aviano Air Base, Italy.
In 1999, Morón became the home of the 92nd Air Expeditionary Wing – tasked with providing fuel to Operation Allied Force of the Kosovo War. In addition to serving as the HQ 92 AEW (serving units in France, Crete, Sicily and Spain), Morón hosted 37 tankers (KC-135 and KC-10) | 17,887 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
and 800 personnel. The 92 AEW became the largest Tanker Wing since the Vietnam War and held the distinction of being the largest tanker base during the Kosovo war.
In 2001, the base provided record numbers of airlift and fighter rotations for Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. In 2003, the operations increased even more as Morón became a key pillar in the airbridge for airlift and fighter deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2004, the 496th ABS started reporting to the 712th Air Base Group and was realigned under the 38th Combat Support Wing of Ramstein Air Base, Germany later that year. In 2007, the 712th ABG inactivated and the 496th ABS was realigned again under | 17,888 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
the 86th Operations Group of Ramstein Air Base. In April of 2019 the 496th ABS was realigned again under the 65th Air Base Group creating the Atlantic Air Bridge.
In 2011, the base once again proved its strategic importance as it served as the main tanker base for KC-10A and KC-135R aircraft supporting Operation Unified Protector in operations over Libya. The 313th Air Expeditionary Wing ("Calico Wing") and 406th Air Expeditionary Wing were activated to manage these operations. In 2013, Marine Corps temporarily based 550 Marines as part of a rapid reaction force in Morón, Spain in support of U.S. Africa Command. This unit was outfitted with Bell Boeing MV-22B Ospreys and Lockheed Martin KC-130J | 17,889 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
aerial refueling / cargo aircraft. An advance element from this unit moved to Naval Air Station Sigonella in May.
Morón's massive flight line, in-ground aircraft refueling system, long runway and prime location on the Iberian peninsula, close to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, means the base is an important link in any operation moving east from the United States.
In May 2015 the Spanish government approved an agreement granting the U.S. military a permanent presence on the base. Under the agreement, up to 3,000 American troops and civilians of the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force - Crisis Response - Africa can be stationed there, while the number of aircraft can be increased | 17,890 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
to 40, up from the previous limit of 14.
At present the base hosts:
- Wing (Ala) 11 of the Spanish Air Force, which is equipped with Eurofighter Typhoon;
- 221 Escuadrón, Spanish Air Force, equipped with Lockheed P-3 Orion for maritime patrol;
- el 2.º Escuadrón de Apoyo al Despliegue Aéreo (SEADA);
- Permanent Detachment of Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera, which operate Ala 37;
- el 2.º Emergency Intervention Battalion of the Unidad Militar de Emergencias (UME- BIEM II);
- 496th Air Base Squadron, USAF
A detachment of the 18th Space Surveillance Squadron (USAF) was also previously located at the base.

# Climate.
The Base's climate is characterized by the annual alternation between a dry period, which lasts more than four months and which has high temperatures, and another one humid (autumn-winter) with mild temperatures.
The monthly distribution of rain corresponds to one typical of the Mediterranean climate; the rain season takes place during the autumn and the winter; during the summer the absence of rain is the prevailing rule, except for very occasional summer storms. 41% of the rain happens during the autumn.
The average annual temperature is 17.5°C (63.5°F). The average absolute maximum temperature is 41.9°C (107.4°F). The coldest month is January and the | 17,894 |
1402677 | Morón Air Base | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morón%20Air%20Base | Morón Air Base
). The average absolute maximum temperature is 41.9°C (107.4°F). The coldest month is January and the average absolute minimum temperature is 0.8°C (33.4°F).
Summing up, the climate is excellent, although slightly harsh in the summer. The sun and a cloudless sky are predominant most of the time.
# Incidents and accidents.
On 9 June 2014, at around 14:00 CEST (12:00 GMT), a pilot died after his Eurofighter Typhoon crashed whilst landing on the runway at the base. A Saudi pilot also crashed in August 2010.

The BusBoys performed "(The Boys Are) Back in Town" over a montage of pre-show footage of Murphy traveling with his road crew. Then, he is introduced after the song and thanks The BusBoys for the opening act before starting his comedy routine.
Among the topics Murphy addresses is the lure ice cream trucks have on children. Once the ice cream was bought, they would sing and dance mockingly in front of kids who could not afford it. Other topics that he addresses are Michael Jackson, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, racism, Reaganomics, gay people, AIDS, and Marian Anderson. After his routine, the video ends with Murphy and his road crew walking to his dressing room while the credits roll.
