Some of Victoria's largest country towns include Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, and Wodonga. These towns have significant populations and offer a range of amenities and services to residents and visitors.

THE FIRST CONTRIBUTOR ARGUED:

Thalidomide has legitimate medical uses. For example, it can be used to treat [Hansen]'s disease (used to be called leprosy) and multiple myeloma.

The risk vs reward ratio for all drugs must be carefully evaluated. The risk for pregnant women taking thalidomide for morning sickness clearly outweighs any possible benefit that the woman might receive through the mitigation of her morning sickness. So those women taking thalidomide for other treatment must take every precaution against becoming pregnant. But this is no different than other drugs that are demonstrated teratogens, such as Acutane, which is prescribed for the control of serious acne

THIS CONTRIBUTOR CALLS HIMSELF THE SECOND CONTRIBUTOR AND REPLIES:

Every mother knows that her child should not play with a toy the child does not understand. The mechanism of the biological action of thalidomide is still being debated.

Human nature is constituted as such that some individuals who have inside knowledge about the effects of thalidomide will 'always' deliberately and unnoticeably cause the serious harm thalidomide can 'so easily' cause. They do that precisely because the damage is so serious to the mother and to the child and because they can do that so easily and without being noticed. It may be that 'in clinical trials', thalidomide is shown to be effective against many things. But 'in real life', it is given to unsuspecting girls.

TWO REMAINING PUZZLES (for the second contributor):

ONE

Thalidomide is a cure against Hansen's disease, leprosy.

The second contributor is no medical doctor, but his understanding of leprosy is that it "takes" limbs "away". (1)

The effect of thalidomide on foetuses is thus similar to the symptoms of leprosy on human beings.

Still, thalidomide is cure of/against leprosy.

Since Aristotle, the principle of non-contradiction (the PNC) says that it is impossible to be and not to be at the same time and in the same respect. Contrary to what many authors argue, this principle, or law, is not applicable to reality, only to thought. (2)

Thought is submitted to the PNC. Reality is not.

How can the thought of the advocates of the use of thalidomide get away with the apparent contradiction that thalidomide is both the cause of and the cure of leprosy(-like symptoms)?

Is it being argued that using thalidomide on pregnant women and using it on non-pregnant people suffering of leprosy is using it in a different respect?

Multiple myeloma, say the ophthalmologists?

TWO

Thalidomide attacked the embryo, not the infant. It attacked the sensory, not the motor "nerves". (3)

It thus did not act on the limb bud. Indeed, thalidomide caused upper limb deformities by action before the limb had existed. (4)

The damaging drug may have been developed by the Nazis as an antidote to "nerve" gas. (5)

Again, the second contributor is no medical doctor, but he's surprised by the double occurrence of the same noun "nerve".

THE ULTIMATE PUZZLE:

Why is thalidomide still available today?

NOTES

(1)

Left untreated, leprosy can be progressive, causing permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes. Leprosy does not directly cause body parts to fall off on their own accord; instead they become disfigured or autoamputated as a result of disease symptoms.

Contrairement à ce qu'affirment beaucoup d'auteurs, ces principes [the principle of non-contradiction, the law of the excluded-middle and the law of identity] sont des Lois logiques ou des Lois de pensée comme telle et non des Lois de l'ordre réel.

White spirit can be purchased at hardware stores, some supermarkets, and online retailers. It is commonly used as a solvent for cleaning and thinning paint.

Head hematoma should be initially treated with cold therapy (ice pack or cold compress) to help reduce swelling and inflammation. Applying heat can increase blood flow to the area, which may worsen the hematoma. If there is any uncertainty about how to treat it, it's best to seek medical advice.

None. Inches measure length and square feet measure area so they are not comparable. If you mean 110 square inches, then since there are 144 square inches in a square foot, the answer is 110/144 = 0.764 square feet.

The fertilization envelope acts as a barrier that prevents polyspermy, which is when an egg is fertilized by more than one sperm. It also helps in the activation of the egg and plays a role in the early developmental processes of the embryo.

Ten hectometers is equal to one kilometer. The term hectometer is seldom used. The usual non-astronomical length or distance measurements with the SI system are in nanometers, microns (or micrometers), millimeters, meters, and kilometers, each being 1,000 times greater than the previous measurement unit.

There could be a number of meanings for the word jap depending on the context. JAP can refer to Jewish American Princess, or it can be a short derogatory term for Japanese...or it could refer to the Journal of Applied Physics.

well I think this is so, because our body need more oxygen than it does, when we are sleeping or relaxing, this is so because our lungs and muscles that lift the the ribs are tired and need oxygen to keep them going. Just a guess, nothing much! Peace!

Assuming that the question relates only to integers.

149 is a prime number and by definition its only factors are 1 and itself.

Therefore the only number that goes into 149 and 12 is 1.

A cold front is formed when a cool air mass displaces a warm air mass. Cold fronts typically bring cooler temperatures, thunderstorms, and sometimes severe weather as the denser cool air displaces the warm air along the front.

No, there are eight divisions in the NFL. The NFC North, South, East and West, and the AFC North, South, East and West.

In certain religious traditions, a tonsure hairstyle symbolizes a person's commitment to a life of religious devotion and service. It is often associated with monks and priests who have chosen to dedicate themselves fully to their faith. The act of shaving or cutting the hair in a specific way is seen as a sign of humility, renunciation of worldly desires, and obedience to religious teachings.

yes you are very lucky to have an intercourse hahaa

It's OK to give you a hint or even to give you a hand. But you sure don't expect Wikianswers volunteers to do your homework for you? That's something for you to do yourself, or you will never learn Spanish or anything at all, for that matter!

Unfortunately we may not know the true answer because Christians continue to be spied on and percesuted for their religious beliefs. This is something China has said to the US during Trump error they were concerned about. Churches are being watched and policy being enforced on beliefs as well.

The best OS for development is the one the developer feels most productive in. Generally speaking, it should be the same as the target for deployment, or be set up with a VM or access to another system that mimics the environment where the web application is to be deployed. There are some exceptions. For example, if the application is to be developed using Microsoft-proprietary technologies, you may have few options for development except on the Microsoft platform. If you, however, use more standard and universal technologies, the operating system is largely irrelevant save for the developer's own preference and productivity.

To solve difficult equivalent resistance problems effectively, you can use strategies such as simplifying the circuit by combining resistors in series or parallel, applying Ohm's Law to calculate individual resistor values, and using Kirchhoff's laws to analyze complex circuits. Additionally, using circuit analysis techniques like nodal analysis or mesh analysis can help in solving challenging problems efficiently.
