An old brick has a natural cavity on one side, providing a cool daytime slug hiding place. Look under any you have around the garden and dispose of the slugs found sheltering. Purposely position a few to create slug shelters, and check daily. A brick also makes a handy squishing implement.
Q Angle of the Knee. The Q angle of the knee is a measurement of the angle between the quadriceps muscles and the patella tendon and provides useful information about the alignment of the knee joint.
By definition, a Q wave on the electrocardiogram (ECG) is an initially negative deflection of the QRS complex. Thus, a Q wave indicates that the net direction of early ventricular depolarization forces is oriented away from (by more than 90Âº) the positive axis of the lead in question. Although prominent Q waves are a characteristic finding in myocardial infarction (MI), they can also be seen in a number of noninfarct settings.
