Cichlid-only community tanks-- usually with non-cichlid scavengers-- are very common in the cichlid hobby. Experienced cichlid keepers often find unlikely combinations of cichlids which work well by chance (e.g. a shortage of tank space, or a fish jumping into another tank). Aquarists will commonly attempt to group fish of similar geographical origin, e.g.

Several lineages of Reiki are now in the Western world, all of which trace their origins back to Dr. Usui. Following the death of Hawayo Takata in 1980, the unitary tradition of Reiki she espoused in North America quickly branched out, and several versions of Reiki are now found in various parts of the world. Most have taken the traditional Usui Reiki and added to or subtracted from it to come up with their variation. Imagine a tree. It has a single trunk but it has many branches.

Cholesterol travels through the blood attached to a protein. This package of cholesterol (a lipid) and protein is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are either high-density or low-density, based on how much protein and fat they have. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are the "bad" cholesterol. LDL is mostly fat with only a small amount of protein. It can clog your arteries. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor will want you to lower your LDL.

There are many kinds of clinical trials. They range from studies of ways to prevent, detect and diagnose, control and treat cancer, to studies of the psychological impact of the disease and ways to improve the patient's comfort and quality of life (including pain control). Most cancer clinical trials deal with new treatments.

With so many lenses available, it is difficult to find ones that will protect your eyes if you don't know what each one will do. Blue-blockers block blue light and usually have amber lenses. Researchers are still unsure whether or not blue light is harmful, but these are popular among skiers, hunters, boaters, and pilots. Both polarized lenses and anti-reflective coating cut reflected glare. Polarized lenses in particular are popular with those who play water and snow sports.

Research continues to verify that touch is a crucial element in the proper physical and psychological development of children. Infant massage is an activity that provides many proven and potential benefits to infants and their parents. Massage also assists a baby in discovering their body, potentially improves flexibility, and strengthens their self-esteem.

There are two basic cell types of melanoma as seen with the microscope. These are spindle and epithelioid. Most melanomas have a combination of these 2 cell types. Only if the eye is removed or the tumor resected can the doctor judge the cell type. Melanomas with predominantly spindle cells have thin elongated cells and imply better prognosis. Epithelioid cell type melanoma have round cells and imply worse prognosis.

CBT is not at all like traditional psychotherapy. In traditional psychotherapy, the focus is often on talking about one's past. Talking about the past can be very helpful in dealing with many life issues, but it has very limited value in helping people to overcome panic disorder. CBT focuses on overcoming panic in the present, as opposed to searching the past for contributing factors. In CBT, you learn skills that you practice in the therapist's office and on your own.

Most definitely yes, and it's a good thing considering there are so few traditional jobs for astronomers! Ph.D. astronomers can be employed in a variety of technical fields, since astronomy itself is so multi-disciplinary. Many astronomers in the 1970's found themselves employed by the defense and aerospace industries.

Lupus is an Autoimmune disease where the patient's immune system creates antibodies which attack the body instead of protecting it. It manifests in three basic forms, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) and Drug-Induced Lupus Erythematosus (DILE). DLE can sometimes progress into SLE but that is rare (less than 10% of the cases). DILE is almost always reversible within about 6 months after removal of the offending drug.
