A Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction is a sudden and typically transient reaction that may occur within 24 hours of being administered antibiotics for an infection by a spirochete, including syphilis, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and relapsing fever. [1]
Flare, a redness in the surrounding area due to arteriolar dilation mediated by axon reflex. [1] [2] [3] Wheal, caused by exudation of extracellular fluid from capillaries and venules. [1] [2] [3] The red spot emerges within 15 seconds. [4] Flare can take up to 45 seconds to begin. [4] Wheal can take up to 3 minutes to begin. [4] [5]
Post-eruptive loops in the wake of a solar flare, image taken by the TRACE satellite (photo by NASA). In solar physics, a solar particle event (SPE), also known as a solar energetic particle event or solar radiation storm, [a] [1] is a solar phenomenon which occurs when particles emitted by the Sun, mostly protons, become accelerated either in the Sun's atmosphere during a solar flare or in ...
A common measure of flare duration is the full width at half maximum (FWHM) time of flux in the soft X-ray bands 0.05 to 0.4 and 0.1 to 0.8 nm measured by GOES. The FWHM time spans from when a flare's flux first reaches halfway between its maximum flux and the background flux and when it again reaches this value as the flare decays.
Assessment of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) in an adult. An otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a sound that is generated from within the inner ear.Having been predicted by Austrian astrophysicist Thomas Gold in 1948, its existence was first demonstrated experimentally by British physicist David Kemp in 1978, [1] and otoacoustic emissions have since been shown to arise through a ...
The flare was rated an R3-strength (flares are rated R1-R5, with R1 being the weakest) by NOAA, meaning that it may cause a "strong" radio blackout. "Today's X9 (R3) flare was prolific, but ...
The cause of the outage is still being investigated. Solar flares erupted 21-22 Feb. Seen here from GOES-16; an R3 flare in the NE, followed by an R1 from beyond the SE limb, and another R3 event ...
Lens flare on Borobudur stairs to enhance the sense of ascending. A lens flare is often deliberately used to invoke a sense of drama. A lens flare is also useful when added to an artificial or modified image composition because it adds a sense of realism, implying that the image is an un-edited original photograph of a "real life" scene.
