RE: Middlings
In coal preparation, this material called mid-coal is neither clean nor refuse; due to their intermediate specific gravity, middlings sink only partway in the washing vessels and are removed by auxiliary means.

Market price contract
A contract in which the price of uranium is not specifically determined at the time the contract is signed but is based instead on the prevailing market price at the time of delivery. A market price contract may include a floor price, that is, a lower limit on the eventual settled price. The floor price and the method of price escalation generally are determined when the contract is signed. The contract may also include a price ceiling or a discount from the agreed-upon market price reference.

Overview of movement and cerebellar disorders
Voluntary movement requires complex interaction of the corticospinal (pyramidal) tracts, basal ganglia, and cerebellum (the center for motor coordination) to ensure smooth, purposeful movement without extraneous muscular contractions.
The pyramidal tracts pass through the medullary pyramids to connect the cerebral cortex to lower motor centers of the brain stem and spinal cord.
The basal ganglia (caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra) form the extrapyramidal system. They are located deep in the forebrain and rostral midbrain. The basal ganglia direct their output mainly through the thalamus to the cerebral cortex (see figure Basal ganglia).
Most neural lesions that cause movement disorders occur in the extrapyramidal system; thus, movement disorders are sometimes called extrapyramidal disorders. -

Thoracic outlet compression syndromes (tos)
Thoracic outlet compression syndromes are a group of poorly defined disorders characterized by pain and paresthesias in a hand, the neck, a shoulder, or an arm. They appear to involve compression of the brachial plexus (and perhaps the subclavian vessels) as these structures traverse the thoracic outlet. Diagnostic techniques have not been established. Treatment includes physical therapy, analgesics, and, in severe cases, surgery.
Pathogenesis is often unknown but sometimes involves compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus (and perhaps the subclavian vessels) as these structures traverse the thoracic outlet below the scalene muscles and over the 1st rib, before they enter the axilla, but this involvement is unclear. Compression may be caused byA cervical rib
An abnormal 1st thoracic rib
Abnormal insertion or position of the scalene muscles
A malunited clavicle fractureThoracic outlet syndromes are more common among women and usually develop between age 35 and 55.

Drug treatment of seizures
No single drug controls all types of seizures, and different patients require different drugs. Some patients require multiple drugs. (See also the practice guideline for the treatment of refractory epilepsy from the American Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society.)
Rarely, an antiseizure drug that is effective for one seizure type may aggravate another seizure type. -

Contains more than 0.05 grams of lead per gallon or more than 0.005 grams of phosphorus per gallon. The actual lead content of any given gallon may vary. Premium and regular grades are included, depending on the octane rating. Includes leaded gasohol. Blendstock is excluded until blending has been completed. Alcohol that is to be used in the blending of gasohol is also excluded.

Anti-vaccination movement
Despite the rigorous vaccine safety systems in place in the US, some parents remain concerned about the safety of the childhood vaccines and immunization schedule. These concerns have led some parents to not allow their children to receive some or all of the recommended vaccines. In the US, rates of vaccine exemptions increased from 1% in 2006 to 2% in 2016 to 2017 (1); some states reported that 6% of children received exemptions. The rate of vaccine-preventable diseases is higher in children whose parents have refused ≥ 1 vaccines for nonmedical reasons. Specifically, they are 23 times more likely to contract pertussis (2), 8.6 times more likely to contract varicella (3), and 6.5 times more likely to contract pneumococcal disease (4). Children in the US still die from vaccine-preventable diseases. In 2008, there were 5 cases (one fatal) of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b infection in Minnesota, the most since 1992 (5). Three of the infected children, including the child who died, had received no vaccines because their parents had deferred or refused the vaccine.
The decision to defer or refuse vaccines also affects public health. When the proportion of the overall population that is immune to a disease (herd immunity) decreases, disease prevalence increases, increasing the possibility of disease in people at risk. People may be at risk becauseThey were previously vaccinated, but the vaccine did not induce immunity (eg, 2 to 5% of recipients do not respond to the first dose of measles vaccine).
Immunity may wane over time (eg, in the elderly).
They (ie, some immunocompromised patients) cannot receive live-virus vaccines (eg, measles-mumps-rubella, varicella) and rely on herd immunity for protection against such diseases.Parents hesitate to vaccinate their children for many reasons. Two of the more prominent parental concerns over the past decade have been that
Vaccines may cause autism.
Children receive too many vaccines.Conversations with reluctant parents typically require more than presenting evidence. Finding common ground with parents#39; goals and hopes for their children and sharing compelling individual accounts can help (6).
