Instability (some patients may retain a degree of stability if the fibula is not broken or if the fracture is incomplete)Īfter the visual inspection, your doctor will feel along your tibia, leg, and foot looking for abnormalities.Bony pieces that may be pushing on the skin.An obvious deformity of the tibia/leg (an unusual angle, twisting, or shortening of the leg).He or she will assess your overall condition and then focus on your leg. Your doctor will also ask you if you use tobacco products or are taking any medications.Īfter discussing your injury and medical history, your doctor will perform a careful examination. It is also important for your doctor to know if you have any other health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, or allergies. This information will help your doctor determine how you were hurt and whether you may be hurt somewhere else. For example, if you were in a car accident, it would help your doctor to know how fast you were going, whether you were the driver or the passenger, whether you were wearing your seatbelt, and if the airbags went off. It is important that your doctor know the specifics of how you hurt your leg. Oblique fracture: This type of fracture has an angled line across the shaft. Transverse fracture: In this type of fracture, the break is a straight horizontal line going across the tibial shaft. The most common types of tibial shaft fractures include: Whether the skin and muscle over the bone is torn by the injury (open fracture).The pattern of the fracture (for example, the bone can break in different directions, such as crosswise, lengthwise, or in the middle).The location of the fracture (the tibial shaft is divided into thirds: distal, middle, and proximal).Tibia fractures are classified depending on: In many tibia fractures, the fibula is broken as well.ĭoctors describe fractures to each other using classification systems. The skin around the fracture may be intact (closed fracture) or the bone may puncture the skin (open fracture). The pieces of bone may line up correctly (stable fracture) or be out of alignment (displaced fracture). Tibia fractures vary greatly, depending on the force that causes the break. ![]()

Frederic edwin church autumn8/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Landscape painting was especially suited for the propagation of such artistic ideals and spurred many Americans who studied art in Germany on to plein air painting - the Hudson River "School" most notably - when these students returned to America. In reaction to "realist" philosophers (Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, et al, e.g.) who were trying to "tell it as it is", some artists chose to buy into the new party-line to produce "art" that reflected a "fallen" world and turned out angst-driven, politically-motivated, or simply nonsensical work (if the world is a crappy place why not let art proclaim it?) while others retreated into a dream world of nature where beauty and mystery dwelt from a realism that morphed into the sublime (accentuated, incidentally, in the title of John Wilmerding's essay as well as for the title of the catalogue for the exhibit at Olana, viz., Maine Sublime) which inspired awe (even fear).Īlbert Bierstadt Mt. Like Church, and indeed so many of the Hudson River "school" beginning with Thomas Cole, Bierstadt (who in fact studied in Düsseldorf) was deeply influenced by the Romantic mysticism that grew up in Germany in direct response to the expressionist/abstract "movements" that were popping up over most of Europe. ![]() ![]() ![]() I began my own viewing at the Cole house, once again tearing myself from the mountain vista so dramatically visible from his spacious front porch (I've been there several times in the past, loving to linger there each time), to go inside to view the Bierstadt paintings. Both Bierstadt and Church brought representational art to its nth degree, both reaching a zenith of perfection that most probably had within its very precision of detail its own eventual downfall written in indelible paint. I'm sure that even the most cursory glance at the current exhibitions mounted at the Cole and Church homes - built, incidentally, right smack in the middle of their Catskill 'stomping grounds' - would cause many of today's viewers to wonder at their erstwhile neglect.Īlthough a modest showing - about a dozen paintings that focus on Bierstadt's time in the New York/New England areas at Cole's (supplemented with artifacts, memorabilia and drawings), ten paintings centered in Maine and a handful of drawings at Church's - and mostly comparatively smaller works than either Bierstadt or Church were made justly famous for (so large, in fact, that most New York City galleries could not easily accommodate them, causing the artists to find venues ((such as the large walls of the once popular Delmonico's Restaurant, for example)) that would do justice to them) - both exhibits are more than adequate to give the viewer enough of a "taste" to evaluate their technical genius in depicting landscape. 1825-1870), purported to be "fathered" by Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and so majestically exemplified in the work of Bierstadt (1830-1902) and Church (1826-1900), was once an epithet of disapprobation haughtily pronounced by many of the major "studio painters" of New York City on their fellow plein airistes who chose to go off into the mountains and stomp around the woods looking for motifs - perhaps even harder to believe that even though those woods-stompers eventually became beloved, themselves eventually building studios that rivaled their former detractors - even revered during the 1960's by the fickle artworld - that they would sink into near oblivion in the so-called "modern" era.

Do raccoons and skunks hibernate8/14/2023 ![]() Instead, they can wake up and leave their dens to forage during milder weather conditions. However, raccoons do not enter a deep sleep like bears do during hibernation. They may remain in their dens for several weeks or even months, minimizing their energy expenditure. When raccoons enter torpor, they reduce their body temperature and metabolic rate, resulting in a slowed heartbeat and breathing. Read: are snakes nocturnal? Raccoon Hibernation Habits However, in areas with colder climates, raccoons are more likely to enter prolonged torpor. In regions with milder winters, raccoons may remain active throughout the year or experience shorter periods of torpor. The timing and duration of raccoon torpor can vary depending on several factors, including geographic location, food availability, temperature, and individual health. ![]() Read: do snakes drink water? Hibernation in Raccoons Factors Influencing Raccoon Hibernation As the colder months approach, their behavior changes in preparation for winter. During spring and summer, raccoons focus on foraging for food, exploring their surroundings, and mating. Raccoons are active throughout the year, but their activity patterns can vary depending on the season. These dens serve as shelters where raccoons rest, raise their young, and seek refuge during inclement weather. They build dens in tree cavities, hollow logs, or even in attics and chimneys of houses. Raccoons are adaptable animals and can thrive in various habitats such as forests, wetlands, and urban areas. This adaptability contributes to their survival in different habitats. Their diet varies depending on the available food sources, but commonly includes fruits, nuts, insects, small mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians. ![]() Raccoons are opportunistic omnivores, meaning they have a flexible diet that includes both plant and animal matter. Read: do squirrel eat bird eggs Raccoon Diet They possess excellent night vision, allowing them to navigate their surroundings even in low light conditions. Raccoons are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. ![]() They have dexterous front paws with sharp claws, enabling them to manipulate objects and open food sources such as trash cans. Raccoons are medium-sized mammals with a stocky build and dense fur that provides insulation during colder seasons. Do Raccoons Hibernate Image by Alexa from Pixabay Raccoon Habits and Behavior Raccoon Characteristics Torpor helps them conserve energy during periods of food scarcity and harsh weather conditions. Instead, they enter a state of torpor, which is a temporary reduction in their metabolic rate and physical activity. Contrary to popular belief, raccoons do not hibernate in the same way as some other animals, like bears. ![]()

Life quotes8/14/2023 ![]() You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others. Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself. It’s better to be alone than in bad company. I’d prefer 1,000 followers, friends, and fans that actually meant something, rather than 10 million that weren’t engaged. Every once in a while you hear an expert that says team chemistry is overrated. Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you. Love is a fruit in season at all times and in reach of every hand. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. ![]() Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
