Plummer Syndrome
Toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG), also known as multinodular toxic goiter (MNTG), is an active multinodular goiter associated with hyperthyroidism. It is a common cause of hyperthyroidism in which there is excess production of thyroid hormones from functionally autonomous thyroid nodules, which do not require stimulation from thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Toxic multinodular goiter is the second most common cause of hyperthyroidism (after Graves' disease) in the developed world, whereas iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in developing-world countries where the population is iodine-deficient. (Decreased iodine leads to decreased thyroid hormone.) However, iodine deficiency can cause goiter (thyroid enlargement); within a goitre, nodules can develop. Risk factors for toxic multinodular goiter include individuals over 60 years of age and being female. Signs and symptoms Symptoms of toxic multinodular goitre are similar to that of hyperthyroidism, inclu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plummer Terrier
The Plummer Terrier is a working terrier. It was originally bred by Brian Plummer to hunt vermin, especially rats. The breed, while unrecognized by any kennel club, is known for its rugged determination and hardiness. Origins and history In the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, Brian Plummer worked as a somewhat reluctant teacher of several schools throughout southern Yorkshire and the Midlands. He was already well-known in his local neighborhood for going around with a pack of terriers to catch rats, when he decided to create his own terrier breed in the 1970s. Well-versed in breeding, he strove to produce a unique strain of terrier by mixing the Jack Russell Terrier with the Beagle, Fell Terrier, and Bull Terrier. These terriers were worked hard and as the breed developed, so too did Plummer's reputation as a breeder of hardy terriers that bred true to type. Initially known as the Huddlesford Rat Pack, the breed is now named after him. The Beagle introduced to Plumm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plummer Model
The Plummer model or Plummer sphere is a density law that was first used by H. C. Plummer to fit observations of globular clusters. It is now often used as toy model in N-body simulations of stellar systems. Description of the model The Plummer 3-dimensional density profile is given by : \rho_P(r) = \frac \left(1 + \frac\right)^, where ''M_0'' is the total mass of the cluster, and ''a'' is the Plummer radius, a scale parameter that sets the size of the cluster core. The corresponding potential is : \Phi_P(r) = -\frac, where ''G'' is Newton's gravitational constant. The velocity dispersion is : \sigma_P^2(r) = \frac. The distribution function is : f(\vec, \vec) = \frac \frac (-E(\vec, \vec))^, if E < 0, and otherwise, where is the .

Plummer Block
A pillow block bearing (or plummer block) is a pedestal used to provide support for a rotating shaft with the help of compatible Bearing (mechanical), bearings and various accessories. The assembly consists of a mounting block which houses a bearing. The block is mounted to a foundation and a shaft is inserted allowing the inner part of the bearing / shaft to rotate. The inside of the bearing is typically larger than the shaft to ensure a tight fit. Set screws, locking collars, or set collars are commonly used to secure the shaft. Housing material for a pillow block is typically made of cast iron or cast steel. Selection A pillow block usually refers to a housing with an included anti-friction bearing, wherein the mounted shaft is in a parallel plane to the mounting surface, and perpendicular to the center line of the mounting holes, as contrasted with various types of flange blocks or flange units. A pillow block may contain a bearing with one of several types of rolling elemen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plummer–Vinson Syndrome
Plummer–Vinson syndrome is a rare disease characterized by difficulty swallowing, iron-deficiency anemia, glossitis, cheilosis and esophageal webs. Treatment with iron supplementation and mechanical widening of the esophagus generally provides an excellent outcome. While exact data about the epidemiology is unknown, this syndrome has become extremely rare. The reduction in the prevalence of Plummer–Vinson syndrome has been hypothesized to be the result of improvements in nutritional status and availability in countries where the syndrome was previously described. It generally occurs in perimenopausal women. Its identification and follow-up is considered relevant due to increased risk of squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus and pharynx. Presentation Patients with Plummer–Vinson syndrome often have a burning sensation with the tongue and oral mucosa, and atrophy of lingual papillae produces a smooth, shiny, red, dorsum of the tongue. Symptoms include: * Dysphagia (diffi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
