Fluorescent lighting other than compact fluorescent bulbs
In fluorescent lamps, energy is converted to light by using an electric charge to excite gaseous atoms within a fluorescent tube. Common types are cool white, warm white, etc. Special energy efficient fluorescent lights have been developed that produce the same amount of light while consuming less energy. Note

RE: Deadhead
(n) in airline jargon, a pilot scheduled to [ride along] or presently on-board [the cockpit] of a plane flown by another pilot
(v) the act of such a pilot undertaking such a flight
Such pilots are so-called, possibly, because theyre often qualified to head up the flights yet serve no official function. The term was made more widely known by Frank W. Abagnale Junior in his autobiography, [Catch Me If You Can] (along with major film and stage adaptations). -

Congenital knee dislocation
The knee may be dislocated at birth.
(See also Introduction to Congenital Craniofacial and Musculoskeletal Disorders.)
Anterior knee dislocation with hyperextension is rare at birth but requires emergency treatment. It may occur with Larsen syndrome, which consists of multiple congenital dislocations (eg, elbows, hips, knees), clubfoot, and characteristic facies (eg, prominent forehead, depressed nasal bridge, wide-spaced eyes), or with arthrogryposis. The dislocation may be related to muscle imbalance (if myelodysplasia or arthrogryposis is present) or intrauterine positioning. Ipsilateral hip dislocation often coexists.
On examination the leg is extended and cannot be flexed more than a few degrees.
If the infant is otherwise normal, immediate treatment with daily passive flexion movements and splinting in flexion usually results in a functional knee. -

Introduction to congenital craniofacial and musculoskeletal abnormalities
Craniofacial and musculoskeletal abnormalities are common among children. They may involve only a single, specific site (eg, cleft lip, cleft palate, clubfoot) or be part of a syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies (eg, velocardiofacial syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome). Careful clinical assessment may be necessary to distinguish an isolated abnormality from an atypical or mildly manifested syndrome.
Congenital abnormalities may be classified as deformities or malformations.
A deformity is an alteration in shape due to unusual pressure and/or positioning in utero (eg, some forms of club foot) or after birth (eg, positional plagiocephaly—head flattening due to prolonged lying in one position). Deformities are present in about 2% of births; some resolve spontaneously within a few days, but others persist and require treatment.
A malformation is an error in normal organ or tissue development. Causes include chromosomal abnormalities, single-gene defects, teratogenic agents, or a combination of genetic and environmental factors; a decreasing number of cases are considered idiopathic. Congenital malformations are present in about 3 to 5% of births. A clinical geneticist should assess affected patients to establish a definitive diagnosis, which is essential for formulating an optimal treatment plan, providing anticipatory guidance and genetic counseling, and identifying relatives at risk of similar abnormalities.
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita refers to a variety of conditions that result from congenital limitation of joint movement.
Congenital craniofacial abnormalities are caused by the abnormal growth and/or development of the head and facial soft-tissue structures and/or bones. The most common abnormalities of the face are cleft lip and cleft palate. Other abnormalities may involve the ears, eyes, and jaw. Some of the craniofacial abnormalities that affect the skull include macrocephaly, microcephaly, cranium bifidum or related ossification defects, and craniosynostosis.
Congenital hip and joint abnormalities include developmental dysplasia of the hip and knee dislocation.
Congenital limb defects are numerous. Sometimes a limb is missing or incomplete. Part or all of the hand or foot may be missing. For example, the person may have polydactyly or syndactyly. Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) is a defect in which the foot and ankle are twisted out of shape or position. Other foot defects include metatarsus adductus, metatarsus varus, talipes calcaneovalgus, and pes planus.
In genu varum (bowlegs), the knees appear to be turned outward. In genu valgum (knock-knees), the knees appear to be turned inward. Other defects that affect the legs include femoral torsion and tibial torsion.
Muscle abnormalities may be congenital. Infants can be born missing individual muscles or groups of muscles, or muscles can be incompletely developed. Muscle abnormalities can occur alone or as part of a syndrome.
Congenital neck and back abnormalities can be caused by injuries to soft tissues or bones. Two of the most common abnormalities areCongenital torticollis
Congenital vertebral defectsSpinal abnormalities include scoliosis, which is rarely apparent at birth, and defects of a specific vertebra, which are likely to be identified at birth. A number of different genetic syndromes include scoliosis as one of their abnormalities. As children grow, the curve can progress quickly. Moderate curves (20 to 40#176;) are treated conservatively (eg, physical therapy and bracing) to prevent further deformity. Severe curves (gt; 40#176;) may be ameliorated surgically (eg, spinal fusion with rod placement).
