The Andean condor lives in the Andes mountains of South America. It is one of the largest flying birds, with a wingspan that can reach over 3 meters. Males and females have similar black plumage, but males tend to be slightly larger. Andean condors primarily eat carrion and will scavenge animal corpses. They are currently listed as near threatened due to threats like lead poisoning and habitat loss.
The document summarizes the key parts and functions of the digestive system, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. It then discusses how smoking, drugs, tobacco can negatively impact the digestive system. Smoking is linked to disorders like heartburn, ulcers, and increased risk of diseases of the liver, Crohn's disease, and gallstones. Long term drug abuse can cause lasting trauma to the gastrointestinal tract.

This document summarizes treatment strategies and quality of life considerations for elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It finds that while intensive chemotherapy can achieve complete remissions and improve quality of life, outcomes are poorer with age. Options for older patients include low-dose chemotherapy, hypomethylating agents like azacitidine and decitabine, and allogeneic stem cell transplant with reduced-intensity conditioning. Ongoing clinical trials are exploring post-remission azacitidine to maintain remission and quality of life achieved with initial intensive chemotherapy. Preliminary results show improved leukemia-free survival with azacitidine compared to best supportive care alone.
Improving Throughput - Server Refresh ProgramTal Aviv
The document describes a server refresh program that was previously disorganized and tracked via Excel spreadsheets. It outlines how the program applied lean, kanban and theory of constraints (TOC) principles to improve organization and throughput. Key changes included defining different server migration paths to reduce bottleneck meetings with architects, using a kanban board to visually track server progress, establishing work-in-progress limits, and ensuring a clear definition of completion by removing servers from support contracts. This helped increase throughput by 300% while standardizing processes and documentation.

This document discusses the case of a 75-year-old male diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It describes his presentation with back pain and lab findings showing a monoclonal gammopathy. The document then discusses the pathogenesis and etiology of multiple myeloma, diagnostic criteria, complications such as anemia and bone disease, and various treatment options including chemotherapy agents like melphalan and proteasome inhibitors. It also covers newer targeted therapies such as the monoclonal antibody daratumumab which targets the CD38 antigen on myeloma cells.

This document provides an overview of multiple myeloma, including its definition, clinical presentation, workup, staging, management, and treatment regimens. Key points include:
- Multiple myeloma is a malignant neoplasm of plasma cells that accumulate in the bone marrow, leading to bone destruction.
- Workup involves blood and urine tests, bone marrow biopsy, skeletal survey, and imaging to determine disease severity and stage according to the Durie-Salmon or ISS staging systems.
- Treatment may include chemotherapy, steroids, immunomodulators, stem cell transplantation, and supportive care. The goal of initial therapy is to achieve remission prior to stem cell transplantation in eligible patients.
Four & Twenty Pi - A recipe for adapting service design to a government contextSimon Wong
This document outlines an approach to adapting service design for government contexts called "Four & Twenty Pi". It discusses moving from a customer service model to a more customer-centric model. It recommends that organizations use their internal resources wisely, relinquish some control to encourage ownership, and view designers as guides rather than doing the work. Designers should teach skills like empathy and interviewing. Both organizations and designers should focus on capability development through action rather than perfection.
Design To Make a Difference: Beyond UX Unicorns to the 5 Layers of Service Ar...Jess McMullin
UXCamp Ottawa 2013 talk sharing how to do design that makes a difference, especially in government and the public sector. Introduces service architecture framework to help designers and public servants think about larger service delivery system beyond the direct service experience.
Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Immune ResponseQIAGEN
The research community has begun correlating the makeup of individual microbiomes with disorders and diseases such as obesity, atherosclerosis and cancer. To accomplish this, researchers must first identify and characterize these microbial communities and understand the complex immune interactions between host and pathogen. This webinar provides you with a complete overview of the microbiome, metagenomics and host-pathogen interactions. Experimental strategies, from sample to insight, which can facilitate your microbiology and immunology research, are highlighted.

Clinical Metagenomics for Rapid Detection of Enteric Pathogens and Characteri...QIAGEN
High-throughput sequencing, combined with high-resolution metagenomic analysis, provides a powerful diagnostic tool for clinical management of enteric disease. Forty-five patient samples of known and unknown disease etiology and 20 samples from health individuals were subjected to next-generation sequencing. Subsequent metagenomic analysis identified all microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) in the samples, including the expected pathogens in the samples of known etiology. Multiple pathogens were detected in the individual samples, providing evidence for polymicrobial infection. Patients were clearly differentiated from healthy individuals based on microorganism abundance and diversity. The speed, accuracy and actionable features of CosmosID bioinformatics and curated GenBook® databases, implemented in the QIAGEN Microbial Genomics Pro Suite, and the functional analysis, leveraging the QIAGEN functional metagenomics workflow, provide a powerful tool contributing to the revolution in clinical diagnostics, prophylactics and therapeutics that is now in progress globally.
Analyzing Fusion Genes Using Next-Generation SequencingQIAGEN
Fusion genes are hybrid genes formed by the fusion of two separate genes. Translocation, interstitial deletion and chromosomal inversions are some of the genetic events that can lead to the formation of fusion genes. The occurrence of fusion genes and its implications in cancer have already been known, but the emergence of NGS technology – especially RNA sequencing – offers the potential to detect novel gene fusions. You can learn more about fusion genes and applying NGS to detect them at our upcoming webinar, presented by Raed Samara, Ph.D., QIAGEN’s Global Product Manager for NGS technologies.
In this webinar, Dr. Raed Samara will cover:
1. Fusion genes: what they are and a historical perspective
2. Fusion gene detection: the current status
3. RNA sequencing vs. digital RNA sequencing
4. How to detect and accurately quantify novel fusion genes in your sample
El documento discute conceptos básicos de probabilidad, incluyendo que la probabilidad más alta es 100% y la más baja es 0%.

El documento lista los nombres de cuatro estudiantes.
This resolution concerns updating New Mexico State University's FSA Handbook policy regarding marital status changes. The current policy does not allow for updates to a student's marital status on their FAFSA application. However, federal regulations do allow universities some discretion for marital status updates. The resolution argues the university's policy is unethical and dishonest as it excludes marital status changes while allowing updates for other dependency changes. The resolution calls for NMSU to require updates to marital status be reported to the federal government in accordance with federal law.
This resolution concerns New Mexico State University's compulsory freshman campus housing policy enacted in July 2016. It notes that while the policy aims to increase freshman retention rates, peer-reviewed research shows student involvement and income level have a greater impact on student success and retention than living on or off campus. The resolution calls on NMSU and the Board of Regents to review the efficiency of the housing policy after three years. It also calls for copies of the resolution to be distributed to various NMSU administrators and organizations.
