The two primary types of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma include chemotherapy (medications that treat cancer) and radiation therapy. In many instances, both chemotherapy and radiation are used. Other, less common forms of treatment include immunotherapy and stem cell transplant (often used when chemotherapy and radiation therapy are ineffective). Surgery is rarely recommended to treat Hodgkin lymphoma, except when doing a biopsy (taking a small amount of tissue to test to find out if it’s cancerous) and when staging (surgical removal of one or more lymph nodes to discover if the lymphoma is confined to one area, or if it has spread)....

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale The Epworth sleepiness scale is a questionnaire that is routinely used to assess the degree of an individual’s sleepiness.

What Is Long-Term Memory? Long-term memory is a function of your brain where you remember something longer than a day or two, and often for many decades. These long-term memories, unlike short-term memories, are relatively permanent. Most people’s earliest memories often go back to the age of four or five, if they were significant in some way. Different Kinds of Long-term Memory There are several different types of long-term memories stored in your brain....

Looking like legitimate title contenders, the Celtics own the top offensive and defensive rating in the NBA since the start of February, giving them a 14.5 net rating in that span, the best in the league by a mile. In fact, that net rating is almost a full 10 points per 100 possessions better than the next closest team in the East, the defending champion Bucks (5.2). If you need further proof of how truly dominant Boston has been, it owns a +334 point differential over that 24-game stretch, also by far the best in the NBA....

ESRD Medicare, on the other hand, has other requirements and conditions. This type of Medicare is for people of any age who have end-stage renal disease (ESRD)—that is, kidney disease that requires dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant. It is important to understand the difference between these two types of Medicare. Unless you stop paying your monthly premiums, traditional Medicare cannot drop your coverage. ESRD Medicare, however, can stop covering you under certain conditions....

Speaking at E3 2018, Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer Todd Howard revealed how Fallout 76’s mods would work. Howard told interviewer Geoff Keighley that “we love mods and so we are 100% committed to mods,” though mod support will not be offered at launch. Although the game is always-online, Howard explained that the game would still be able to offer mods by allowing players to have their “own private world” which they will then be able to mod....

These patterns are determined by the way the mutation causes disease, whether only one or both parents have the gene, which chromosome it is on, and other factors. The presence of a mutation doesn’t always translate to the disease it’s associated with. For example, Huntington’s disease, breast cancer, and autoimmune diseases are associated with specific genes, but a person who inherits them won’t necessarily develop these conditions. On the other hand, some genetic mutations, such as those linked to hemophilia, will always manifest the disorder....

A physical fighter, Azumarill uses moves like Play Rough, Whirlpool, Aqua Tail, and Water Pulse to battle its opponents in Pokemon Unite. There’s also the intriguing passive known as Huge Power, which makes the Pokemon automatically critical hit any target it strikes for single-target damage.

Regardless, Azumarill is a very capable Pokemon to use, courtesy of the flexibility regarding its builds....

In a few short years, Fortnite became so much more than just a free-to-play game; it became one of the most significant and persistent media events in the last century. Its millions of players are participating in a shared experience as they play through Fortnite’s various seasonal storylines and events. Although many online games in the past have followed a similar model, nothing has bled into popular culture in the same way, and Epic Games is only hoping to build on this with the creation of its own “metaverse....

Leeson’s main activity at Barings was futures “arbitrage”: trading contracts on the Nikkei 225 -an index of Japanese stocks -in both Singapore and Osaka to take advantage of small price differences between the two markets. This is normally a low-risk business, with little prospect for big gains or glory. In the second half of 1994, Leeson apparently departed from that strategy and began selling futures options in a “straddle,” a far riskier bet that the Nikkei would stay within a certain range....
