Making basic, good-looking plots in Python is tough. Matplotlib gives you great control, but at the expense of being very detailed. The rise of pandas has made Python the go-to language for data wrangling and munging but many people are still reluctant to leave R because of its outstanding data viz packages.
ggplot is a port of the popular R package ggplot2 into Python. It provides a high level grammar that allow users to quickly and easily make good looking plots. An example may be found here:

This slide deck shows all the stadiums in the American and the National Leagues. The idea is to show how none of them are in as close proximity to established housing and residential areas as the one that the Oakland A's are proposing to build in Fremont half a mile from elementary schools and even closer to the houses.
The document discusses the issue of steroid use in baseball and analyzes batting averages and player stats before and after the MLB implemented random steroid testing in 2004. It finds that the combined batting averages of the American and National Leagues were significantly higher before testing. Specifically, it analyzes stats for Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds, finding their power numbers declined after testing began. The analysis provides statistical evidence that steroid testing was effective in curbing steroid use and inflated player performance in MLB.
College athletes generate billions of dollars for the NCAA, universities, and television networks through basketball and football. However, athletes themselves receive only scholarships that often do not fully cover their costs of attendance, and they are restricted from other employment opportunities. This has led some to argue that the current system amounts to using athletes as unpaid labor. While scholarships were originally consistent with universities' educational missions, many now see big-time college football and basketball as entertainment industries. There is an ongoing debate about whether college athletes should be permitted to earn additional money from their sports participation.
This document summarizes the rise and fall of performance-enhancing drug (PED) use in Major League Baseball (MLB). It describes the steroid era of the 1990s-2000s when home run records were broken amid widespread PED use. Several scandals were revealed through books and investigations that implicated many top players. While PED use has declined due to increased testing and stigma against known users, several legendary players remain barred from the Hall of Fame due to PED connections. The future of MLB is thought to be cleaner as young players see success is possible without PEDs.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of folded membranes found throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It was first observed in 1945 by Albert Claude using an electron microscope. The endoplasmic reticulum is divided into rough ER with ribosomes attached, where protein synthesis occurs, and smooth ER involved in lipid and steroid metabolism. It forms an interconnected network continuous with the nuclear envelope and transports molecules throughout the cell.
This document outlines a research study that examined the attitudes of high school football players from two schools with different socioeconomic backgrounds regarding their use of performance enhancing drugs. The study found that while all players viewed PED use as unacceptable, players from the lower socioeconomic school were more susceptible due influences like emulating pro athletes off the field. The document recommends improving PED education for players and coaches, implementing drug testing programs, and having pro athletes publicly address the harms of PED use.
In mammals, the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that sit at the top of the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in response to stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines such as adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline. They also produce androgens in their innermost cortical layer. The adrenal glands affect kidney function through the secretion of aldosterone, and recent data (1998) suggest that adrenocortical cells under pathological as well as under physiological conditions show neuroendocrine properties; within normal adrenal glands, this neuroendocrine differentiation seems to be restricted to cells of the zona glomerulosa and might be important for an autocrine regulation of adrenocortical function.
An antifungal medication is a pharmaceutical fungicide used to treat and prevent mycoses such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis (thrush), serious systemic infections such as cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Such drugs are usually obtained by a doctor's prescription, but a few are available OTC (over-the-counter).
Antifungals work by exploiting differences between mammalian and fungal cells to kill the fungal organism with fewer adverse effects to the host. Unlike bacteria, both fungi and humans are eukaryotes. Thus, fungal and human cells are similar at the biological level. This makes it more difficult to discover drugs that target fungi without affecting human cells. As a consequence, many antifungal drugs cause side-effects. Some of these side-effects can be life-threatening if the drugs are not used properly.
The document discusses disorders of the adrenal glands, including Cushing's syndrome, Conn's disease, Addison's disease, and adrenal crisis. It describes the anatomy and function of the adrenal glands and hormones produced. For each condition, it covers epidemiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, management, and outcomes of treatment. Cushing's syndrome results from excessive cortisol and can be caused by a pituitary or adrenal tumor. Addison's disease is an autoimmune disorder requiring lifelong glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement.
This document discusses various types of performance enhancing drugs used in sports, including their purposes, effects, and side effects. It describes how anabolic steroids help build muscle faster, peptides like HGH and EPO increase oxygen in the blood, painkillers mask pain and allow quicker returns from injury, stimulants reduce fatigue and increase alertness, diuretics cause rapid weight loss, and beta-blockers maintain a slow heart rate and low blood pressure in tense situations. However, all such drugs carry potential health risks like organ damage, mood issues, and infertility.
This document discusses various antifungal drugs including polyenes like amphotericin B and nystatin, echinocandins like caspofungin, and the heterocyclic benzofuran griseofulvin. It describes their mechanisms of action, spectra of activity, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. Amphotericin B is a broad-spectrum antifungal that is fungicidal but highly nephrotoxic. Caspofungin inhibits glucan synthase in fungal cell walls. Griseofulvin binds microtubules to treat dermatophytosis.
The document discusses various antifungal drugs, including their mechanisms of action, classifications, and clinical uses for treating fungal infections. It covers major antifungal classes such as azoles, polyenes, and pyrimidines. Key drugs discussed include amphotericin B, which is broad-spectrum and fungicidal, and flucytosine, which is absorbed well and crosses the blood-brain barrier to treat systemic fungal diseases and cryptococcal meningitis.
The document summarizes adrenal hormones and their functions. It discusses that the adrenal glands are composed of the adrenal cortex and medulla. The cortex produces steroid hormones like cortisol, aldosterone and androgens. The medulla produces catecholamines including epinephrine and norepinephrine. It describes the synthesis, regulation and effects of these hormones. It also discusses adrenal disorders like Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency.
Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)abdul waheed
NSAIDs work by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which prevents the formation of prostaglandins. Aspirin is a nonselective COX inhibitor that irreversibly acetylates both COX-1 and COX-2. It has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding. Aspirin is metabolized to salicylic acid and excreted by the kidneys. It is used to treat fever, pain, and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, but carries risks in children and those with asthma or prior gastrointestinal issues.
This document provides an overview of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and their mechanisms of action. It discusses how NSAIDs work by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway and thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, fever, and inflammation. The summary describes the key effects of NSAIDs, including their analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties through suppression of prostaglandin synthesis. It also briefly mentions the risks of NSAID use, such as potential gastrointestinal toxicity.
The adrenal glands sit atop the kidneys and are composed of an outer cortex and inner medulla. The cortex produces cortisol and aldosterone, while the medulla produces epinephrine and norepinephrine. Adrenal gland disorders occur when the glands do not function properly, such as Cushing's syndrome which results from excess cortisol production, congenital adrenal hyperplasia where the glands do not produce enough hormones, and pituitary tumors affecting hormone regulation. Treatments include medication, surgery, radiation, or a combination depending on the specific disorder.
