They eventually return for him saying that they have brought his "travel robe" and are going to take him "to rest." After they leave Franklin checks Hernandez's notes on the species in the medical database and realizes that the boy was wearing a robe used in spiritual journeys, not physical ones. The operation is a success, and Franklin proves to Shon that his spirit has not changed, but when Shon's parents arrive, they treat him as an soulless demon and abandon him. With Shon near death, his parents spend more time with him before they depart as soon as they leave, Franklin decides to operate against orders. Sinclair eventually tells Franklin that he will refuse to let him operate as to maintain the cultural neutrality of the station. Sinclair goes to talk to Shon to make his determination. Even Sinclair finds that Earth does not want a part in this decision. During this, Shon's parents attempt to sway the other alien race ambassadors to intervene on their behalf, but none of them accept this. Sinclair acknowledges he must consider the request but needs time. Franklin goes to Commander Sinclair and attempts to use a previous command order he gave as basis for an immediate operation on Kosh, the Vorlon ambassador, by the station's previous doctor.

They mention it as something only done to food animals in their culture. Franklin is confident he can save Shon, with surgery, but the family's alien religion prohibits surgery, believing that cutting into a body will release the spirit, reducing the body to something worse than death. ![]() Their son is suffering from an eventually fatal respiratory ailment. Franklin faces an ethical dilemma when the parents of Shon, a dying alien child refuse to let him operate for religious reasons.

If compatible updates are released for either operating system we will post the news here at this blog. On a traditional media platform, we rely on subtitles or closed captions. OpenELEC and LibreELEC 7 users can either switch to Android or disable subtitles (System, Add-ons, My Add-ons or Installed Add-ons, Subtitles, Long click on the installed services, select Info and then click Uninstall.)

In its self, by no means the worst news we have in this world right now, but an insecure device on your network could be a staging point for other, more sensitive devices in your home.

The assessment of disease in populations is an important measure in health planning and for the understanding of associations of disease with environmental factors, to meet demand and to investigate factors of importance in preventing disease in the population (2–4). Most of the studies refer to specific diseases or patient groups, which complicates the comparability and validity of the existing studies.įocusing on symptoms in dermato-epidemiology provides a new contribution to the assessment of the burden of skin morbidity in the community. Clinical experience indicates that patients frequently do not consult a doctor for acute itch, but more often do for chronic itch (defined as itch lasting longer than 6 weeks) (1). Prevalence is a measure of those individuals affected by a condition within a specific time period, while incidence is a measure of the number of new individuals who develop a condition within a specific time period. E-mail: itch is often described as the most frequent symptom in dermatology, there have been very few studies of the incidence, and a limited number of the prevalence, of chronic itch. Key words: community epidemiology itch pruritus psycho-social factors skin diseases.Įlke Weisshaar, Clinical Social Medicine, Occupational and Environmental Dermatology, University Hospital Heidelberg, Thibautstrasse 3, DE-69115 Heidelberg, Germany. Published studies show that the symptom of itch is highly prevalent it should therefore receive adequate attention from physicians and other healthcare providers, including healthcare planners. The symptom of itch is a challenge, not only to clinicians, but also within the structure of regional health systems, and with regards to accessibility to specialized medical doctors in non- Western countries. It is difficult to compare existing studies due to differing methodology and lack of standardized measures. Conference proceedings and national and international studies were included. The electronic databases PubMed, Medline and the Cochrane Library were searched. The aim of this paper is to review the current state of research on the epidemiology of chronic itch in Western and non-Western populations. Nevertheless, there are few true epidemiological studies on itch. Itch is the most frequent symptom in dermatology and has been researched more extensively in recent years. ![]() ![]() Every year.Īs you can see from the price above, the Crude oil price is now at $62.29 per barrel (as of February 19, 2018) which is $50 (FIFTY) lower than the high prices we had in 2011-2014.

This is enough to cover costs and make a VERY good profit:ĪBC Supply’s former founder and CEO Ken Hendricks, before his death in 2007 (he died from a fall off a ladder – how ironic) had a net worth of $1.5 Billion, selling “roof shingles”. But, typical markup for distributors in ANY industry is 40% or less. I was enraged! Sure – a business needs to make money, and I have no problem with it.
