Venereal Wart Incubation Period
 I and Claudie by Dillon Anderson, I and Claudie is a delightful and captivating novel about a couple of bungling but good-hearted con men who (barely) make their way across Texas over a two-year period in the 1930s. Their adventures, Anderson said, were "in no sense autobiographical, but sometimes I am sorry they are not". The charming con men outwit lumbermen, oil men, and others, but are sometimes the victims themselves. Clint Hightower (the "I" in the title) is a smooth-talking maker of deals; Claudie Hughes, all 6'6" of him, is his slower-of-mind sidekick who does all the real work and, often unwittingly, saves the day. The reader is both entertained and informed by the book. We learn much about Texas and Texans of the period. We learn about hurricanes along the coast, oil leasing and lumbering in East Texas, buried treasure in West Texas, the state fair in Dallas, the stockyards in Forth Worth, farming along the Brazos River, and more. The stories that make up the novel have been compared in style to O. Henry's classic tales. Several of them appeared in the venerable Atlantic Monthly before the book was published in 1951.
 The Pathological Protein by Philip Yam, In 1996, British doctors were horrified to discover that mad cow disease (BSE), an affliction that had been plaguing British cattle for ten years, had jumped the species barrier and was appearing in humans as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Not unlike the mad cows, victims of vCJD suffer from a degenerative neurological disease that peppers the brain with microscopic holes, causing dementia, loss of motor control, and certain death. What alarms researchers and public health officials worldwide is that the incubation period for vCJD may be as long as 10 or even 15 years, and during this period those infected are symptom-free. And because the disease is so far undetectable except by autopsy, there is no way of knowing with certainty how many people have already been infected. In fact, even travelers who spent time in the U.K. from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s are still considered to be at some risk. What's more, although the U.S. has not detected any mad cows within its borders, there are plenty of "mad deer" running free in several states, and the disease afflicting them is a BSE-type neurological disorder. Called chronic wasting disease (CWD), the illness in these deer has yet to be linked with any human deaths. But given BSE's ability to jump species, there are no guarantees. In The Pathological Protein, Philip Yam describes how, in this atmosphere of uncertainty, scientists have discovered that the agent of disease in vCJD and a host of other devastating neurological disorders is a bizarre, misshapen version of a protein called a prion. Once introduced into the human neurological system, malformed prions recruit the body's own normal prion proteins, giving them thesame pathological ability to destroy brain tissue. Unlike the better-known pathogens that afflict humans--bacteria, viruses, and parasites--prions have so far proved resistant to drug therapies and even standard sterilization.
Incubation period - Incubation period is the time elapsed between exposure to a pathogenic organism and when symptoms and signs are first apparent. The period may be as short as minutes, to as long as thirty years in the case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Avian incubation - The word incubate in the context of birds refers to the development of the chick (embryo) within the egg and the constant temperature required for the development of it over a specific period. This in most species of bird is produced by body heat from the brooding parent, though several groups, notably the Megapodes, instead use geothermal heat or the heat generated from rotting vegetable material, effectively a giant compost heap. Sengoku period - The Sengoku period (Japanese: 戦国時代, Sengoku-jidai) or Warring States period, was a period of civil war in the history of Japan that spans from the middle 15th to the early 17th centuries. It started in the late Muromachi period in 1467 with the Onin War (1467-1478), lasting through the entire Azuchi-Momoyama period, until final peace and order was achieved in 1615 of the Edo period. Obstetrical Dilemma - The Obstetrical Dilemma refers to the evolutionary development of the human species through a number of biological changes. The most important of these changes was the shifting of the females' pelvic bones, thereby shortening the incubation period.
