The term benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) just simply means enlarged prostate. It is generally believed

INTEN
to affect most men over the age of 45 (with various levels of severity). Overall, the number of men with BPH
increases progressively with age. By age 60, 50 percent of men will have some signs of BPH. By age 85, 90
percent of men will have signs of the condition. About one-third of these men will develop symptoms that
require treatment. Prostate enlargement, or BPH, is not a malignant condition, but it does put pressure on the
urethra and can cause a number of urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, the need to
get up at night to urinate, difficulty starting urination, a reduction in the force of the urine stream, terminal
dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and even the inability to urinate at all.
The prostate, a small gland that produces fluid for semen, is in an ideal position to cause trouble. The
gland wraps snugly around the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. It’s a tight squeeze-and it
only gets tighter as men grow older. As symptoms progress, a man may also be at higher risk of bladder stones
and bladder infection. The kidneys may be damaged from back pressure caused by the retention of large
amounts of urine in the bladder. There may be sudden blockage of the urinary tube, making urination
impossible, and not infrequently, blood may be detected in the urine. The exact mechanism for the enlargement
of the prostate gland remains unclear; however, there are certain factors that are obviously involved. As men
age, the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone(DHT) starts to build up in the prostate, which causes the
prostate to slowly enlarge.
The Vahlensieck, AUSI and I-PSS rating systems are used to evaluate the severity of symptoms associated
with BPH. All these methods are based on a limited number of questions associated with a numbered score: the
total score is an evaluative index of BPH-associated severity, which can be from “mild” to “moderate” or
“severe”. Severe symptoms that are associated with a very large prostate may require surgery.

 Florence Nightingale was the pioneer of modern nursing. Born into a wealthy and well-connected British
family in Florence, Italy she was named after the city of her birth, as was her older sister born at Parthenope. A
brilliant and strong-willed woman, she rebelled against the expected role for a woman of her status, which was
to become an obedient wife. Inspired by what she understood to be divine calling, Nightingale made a
commitment to nursing, a career with a poor reputation and filled mostly by poorer women.
Traditionally, the role of nurse handled by female "hanger-ons" who followed the armies - they were

INTEN
equally like to function as cooks or prostitutes. Nightingale was particularly concerned with the appealing
conditions of medical care for the legions of the poor and indigent. She announced her decision to her family in
1845, evoking intense anger and distress from her family, particularly her mother.
Florence Nightingale's career in nursing began earnest in 1851 when she received four-month training in
Germany as a deaconess of Kaiservverth. She undertook the training over strenuous family objections
concerning the risk and social implications of such activity, and the Chatolic foundations of the hospital. While
at Kaiserwerth, Florence reported having her most important intense and compelling experience of her divine
calling.
Nightingale's work inspired massive public support through out England, where she was celebrated and
admired as "The Lady of The Lamp" after the Grecian lamp she always carried in her tireless evening and night-
time visits to injured soldiers. Nightingale's lamp also allowed her to work late every night, maintaining
meticulous medical records for the hospital, and writing personal letters to the family of every 20 soldier who
died in the hospital.
In 1883, Queen Victoria awarded Florence with the Royal Red Cross and in 1907 she became the first
woman to be awarded the Order of merit. She couldn't leave her bed after 1896 and died on August 13,1910.

(A) famous (D) thorough (A) she took care the medical report
(B) useful (E) abundant accurately

 Police in New Jersey believe they have solved one of the longest running murder cases in the state's
history, the disappearance of five Newark teenagers in 1978, after tracking leads 32 years. Two men were
arrested March 22 and charged with herding the teens at gunpoint into an abandoned row house, tying them up
and torching the building, setting a blaze so fierce police say the bodies were include, destroying any evidence.
Now prosecutors have a difficult task, prove the teens were murdered when their bodies were never found.
Murders without bodies were long considered one of the most complex challenges in the legal

professional, but advance in technology have made the once unthinkable prospect, more common. The absence
of the key place of evidence - the corpse - process unique problems for both prosecutors and defense attorneys,
according to Thomas "Tad" Dibiase, a Washington-based lawyer who runs a website chronicling "no body"
murders. He said the majority of such cases and in convictions or guilty pleas. The body can tell you how the
murder occurred," he said "it can tell you when the murder occurred, it can tell you where the murder occurred,
so by taking away the body you take away all the elements from a case that makes it enormously difficult.”
The New Jersey case was initially treated as a missing person's case no connection was made between the
fire and the teens "disappearance". In the decades since, any clues have been all but obliterated. The site of the
fire is now a housing complex and additional case were reported lost in a court-house flood.

Hot boning is an energy-saving technique for the meat processing industry. It has received significant
attention in recent years when increased pressure for energy conservation has accentuated the need for
more efficient methods of processing the bovine carcass. Cooling an entire carcass requires a considerable
amount of refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable fat are cooled along with muscle. It is also
necessary to space the carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air movement and prevention of
microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume requirements for carcass chillers.
Conventional handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for 24 to 36 hours before
boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated with a loss of carcass weight ranging from 2
percent to 4 percent due to evaporation of moisture the meat tissue.
Early excision, or hot boning, of muscle pre rigor followed by vacuum packaging has several
potential advantages. By removing only the edible muscle and fat pre rigor, refrigeration space and cost
are minimized, boning labor is decreased, and storage yields increased. Because hot boning often result in
the toughening of meat, a more recent approach, hot boning following electrical stimulation, has been used
to reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis. Some researchers have found this method beneficial in
