Ormond (surname)
Ormond or Ormand is an old surname, originated in Ireland and Scotland, but also occurring nowadays in Portugal (mainly Azores), Brazil, England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The Irish surname derives from the Irish toponym ''Oirmhumhain'' 'East Munster' and was a hereditary title within the Irish aristocracy. See Earl of Ormonde (Irish). However, the Scottish Ormonds originate from the county of Angus, where the Douglas family held the title of Earl of Ormond, deriving from their ownership of Ormond Castle in Avoch, on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands. The Ormond surname is rumoured to have been taken up by an illegitimate son of the Earl in the 15th or 16th century. The earliest Ormond in Angus to feature on the parish records is Elspit Ormond, born 1617 in Monikie, the daughter of James Ormond. There is also an Ormond family in Pembrokeshire, Wales, which is of great antiquity. It is likely that they branched off from the aforementioned Irish Orm ...

Ormond (novel)
''Ormond'' is a novel by Maria Edgeworth published in June 1817. It tells the story of Harry Ormond, a hero who rises from poverty to wealth. Set both in Ireland and France, the novel uses different places to represent different paths that Ormond might take and different political ideologies. Ireland and France are shown as linked through their revolutionary fervour. In 1798, France had sent aid to the United Irishmen and this tie is hinted at through Ormond's travels. However, in the end Ormond chooses to serve in Britain's military, thus signalling Ireland's ties with England rather than its independence or its ties to France. The novel thematizes "obedience to tradition and culture", signifying these by allusions to Edmund Burke's ''Reflections on the Revolution in France ''Reflections on the Revolution in France'' is a political pamphlet written by the Irish statesman Edmund Burke and published in November 1790. It is fundamentally a contrast of the French Revolution to th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ormond's Disease
Retroperitoneal fibrosis or Ormond's disease is a disease featuring the proliferation of fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneum, the compartment of the body containing the kidneys, aorta, renal tract, and various other structures. It may present with lower back pain, kidney failure, hypertension, deep vein thrombosis, and other obstructive symptoms. It is named after John Kelso Ormond, who rediscovered the condition in 1948. Causes The association of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis with various immune-related conditions and response to immunosuppression led to a search for an autoimmune cause of idiopathic RPF. Many of these previously idiopathic cases can now be attributed to IgG4-related disease, an autoimmune disorder proposed in 2003. Otherwise, one-third of cases are secondary to malignancy, medication (methysergide, hydralazine, beta blockers), prior radiotherapy, or certain infections. Other associations include: * connective tissue disease * Riedel's thyroiditis * scl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
