Common sites for pannus formation include over the cornea, over a joint surface as seen in rheumatoid arthritis , or on a prosthetic heart valve . Pannus may grow in a tumor like fashion, as in joints where it may erode articular cartilage and bone. The term pannus is often used incorrectly to refer to a panniculus a hanging flap of tissue , though pannus can also refer to panniculus adiposus . Pannus in rheumatoid arthritis In people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis , pannus tissue eventually forms in the joint affected by the disease, causing loss of bone and cartilage . From Autoimmunity and Disease by Harley Y. Tse and Michail K. Shaw cquote Chronic stages of the disease typically coincide with the formation of a structure known as a pannus. A pannus is a membrane of granulation tissue composed of mesenchyme and bone marrow derived cells. Formation of the pannus stimulates the release of IL 1, platelet derived growth factor, prostaglandins, and substance P by macrophages, which ultimately cause cartilage destruction and bone erosion.

Scud clouds, a type of fractus cloud , are low, detached, irregular cloud s found beneath nimbostratus or cumulonimbus cloud s. These clouds are often ragged or wispy in appearance. When caught in the Outflow meteorology outflow Vertical draft downdraft beneath a thunderstorm , scud clouds will often move faster than the storm clouds themselves. When in an inflow Vertical draft updraft area, scud clouds tend to rise and may exhibit lateral movement ranging from very little to substantial. Scud clouds are formed as the warmer and often more moist updraft of a thunderstorm lifts the relatively warm air near the surface. These clouds condense as the warm, moist air saturates through ascent and is pushed outward from the storm. Scud clouds are very commonly found on the leading edge of a storm front. In this area of a storm, scud are commonly associated with arcus cloud shelf cloud s. Scud clouds may also form when an updraft ingests Precipitation meteorology precipitation cooled air from the downdraft. Scud forming in this region of the storm, if moving laterally, will tend to move inward towards the dominant updraft. Rising scud may condense and organize into a wall cloud . Scud clouds can often be mistaken for a developing tornado, landspout, or waterspout. The difference is determinable by identifying if there s any rotation not just movement of the scud clouds. If any rotation occurs, a tornado, landspout, or waterspout has a high chance of forming. Forecast Viewing scud clouds means that there is a cumulonimbus parent cloud. Rain , hail , strong wind , and lightning can be expected from the parent cloud.

wiktionary Purple prose is a term of literary criticism used to describe passages, or sometimes entire literary works, written in prose so extravagant, ornate, or flowery as to break the flow and draw attention to itself. Purple prose is sensually evocative beyond the requirements of its context. It also refers to writing that employs certain rhetorical effects such as exaggerated sentiment or pathos in an attempt to manipulate a reader s response. When it is limited to certain passages, they may be termed purple patches or purple passages these are often noted as standing out from the rest of the work. The term purple patch is also used in a more general, and more unequivocally positive, sense to refer to a period of outstanding achievement. This usage is particularly common in sporting contexts in some countries for example, a football soccer footballer who had scored in six successive games might be said to be enjoying a purple patch . ref cite web url http news.bbc.co.uk sport1 hi football europe 8007413.stm title Beckham shines in AC Milan romp date 2009 04 12 publisher BBC Sport accessdate 2009 06 04 It was Inzaghi s second hat trick in his last six matches &mdash a purple patch that has included nine goals in all. ref Origins The term purple prose is derived from a reference by the Roman poet Horace Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65&ndash 8 BC who wrote in his Ars Poetica lines 14 21 ref name horace Horace 18 BC .

Ophthalmology was one of the foremost branches in medieval Islamic medicine .
