Ramey began teaching in 2006 on a series of one-year contracts, a trend that continued when he came to Haverford in 2010 under a one-year contract as a full-time visiting professor.He has been employed on year-to-year contracts since.The difference between teaching four courses as a visiting professor and a five course load as full-time professor is âon the order of $20,000 or more,â according to Ramey.For example, last year I was teaching four courses. I was not eligible for benefits or for the same benefit assistance. I was paid a salary per course rather than the standard salary for a full time position.â.

ADH (antidiuretic hormone): A peptide molecule that is released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain after being made nearby (in the hypothalamus). ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine (and so is antidiuretic). A syndrome of inappropriate secretion of ADH may occur in association with oat-cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and Hodgkin's disease as well as a number of other disorders.
Practice Essentials. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion (SIADH) is defined by the hyponatremia and hypo-osmolality resulting from inappropriate, continued secretion or action of the hormone despite normal or increased plasma volume, which results in impaired water excretion.
