To our knowledge there are no studies concerning UV-B effects on penguins. As their eyes are exposed to a lot of UV due to the high reflectivity of snow and a marked enhancement during the ozone hole, investigation into the impact on penguins is desirable. The fact that penguins are visual predators, eating krill or fish in the water column, would make any eye damage an important issue for survival. See similar questions...

The term "knee" refers to a section of a tree where the trunk meets the root. The wood in this section of a tree is called "tension wood" because it grows against the stresses of nature's elements. Because of their great strength, knees are widely used for bracing and structural elements in ships and boats as well as homes, barns, timber frames, and furniture. Examples of ship knees can be found in the Morneault house at the Acadian Village in Van Buren, Maine. See similar questions...

No. Penguins, like all other birds, do not have teeth. The chicks do have an egg tooth, but this is not a real tooth, but rather a sharp bump on the top surface of the bill which is used to break the egg when hatching. Penguins do have rearward-pointing, tooth-like barbs on the tongue and roof of the mouth. These are not used for chewing, but instead assist in the swallowing of their slippery prey.

When we are sitting or lying down our feet move freely at the ankles without effecting the body. But, when we stand (closed kinetic chain) our body moves around a fixed point, our feet. If our feet move incorrectly then our body will move incorrectly, resulting in a variety of strains and pains. Try this. Stand barefoot and roll up your pant leg. Roll your arch up and down and look at the position of your leg and knee. Where the foot goes, the leg has to follow. See similar questions...

About 85 to 90 percent of total knee replacements are successful up to ten years. The major long-term problem is loosening. This occurs because either the cement crumbles (as old mortar in a brick building) or the bone melts away (resorbs) from the cement. By ten years, 25 percent of total knee replacements may look loose on x-ray, and about 10 percent will be painful and require reoperation. By ten years, possibly 20 percent may require reoperation.

The side effect although relatively uncommon is effusion of the knee (swelling). This may develop a few hours after injections and could be due to a mild allergic reaction to the synvisc. This would mean that further injections should not be carried out and some other alternative treatment be prescribed. See similar questions...
