Ulloa was the recipient of many prizes and awards and given the keys to the cities of Miami, FL a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Altamira, Dominican Republic
Altamira is a town in the Puerto Plata Province of the Dominican Republic. The town's name is the subject of at least two different origin traditions. One asserts that when Christopher Columbus first arrived in the area, he took note of the height of the mountains and exclaimed: "Look at the heights." Another reports that the name is based on the geographical resemblance of the region to Spain's Cave of Altamira, Altamira Caves. On October 29, 1889, President Ulises Heureaux declared the town a municipality. To this day, October 29th is celebrated in Altamira with municipal festivities. History In its earliest days, Altamira functioned as a set of large agricultural ranches, populated by families transferred there from nearby ''conucos'' (small farms). For this reason, some still call Altamira's signature tobacco plantations the "Ranches of Puerto Plata." At the time of the Devastations of Ozoria, the community helped maintain communication between the Cibao, Valley of the Ci ...

Pulmonary Edema
Pulmonary edema, also known as pulmonary congestion, is excessive edema, liquid accumulation in the parenchyma, tissue and pulmonary alveolus, air spaces (usually alveoli) of the lungs. It leads to impaired gas exchange and may cause hypoxemia and respiratory failure. It is due to either failure of the left ventricle of the heart to remove oxygenated blood adequately from the pulmonary circulation (cardiogenic pulmonary edema), or an injury to the lung parenchyma, lung tissue directly or blood vessels of the lung (non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). Treatment is focused on three aspects: firstly improving respiratory function, secondly, treating the underlying cause, and thirdly preventing further damage and assuring full recovery to the lung. Pulmonary edema, especially when sudden (acute), can lead to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest due to Hypoxia (medical), hypoxia. It is a cardinal feature of congestive heart failure. The term edema is from the Greek language, Greek (''oi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Male Painters
Male (Mars symbol, symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and Asexual reproduction, asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including Homo sapiens, humans, sex is determined genetics, genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evol ...
