An EGD may be performed therapeutically to control bleeding, remove tumors or polyps (growths), dilate narrowed areas in the upper GI tract (for example, esophagus), remove foreign objects, perform laser therapy, and place a percutaneous gastrostomy tube (a tube used for tube feeding into the stomach).
Navel oranges ripen in the winter and into the spring and early summer, while Valencia oranges begin ripening in the spring and are harvested through the summer. Mandarin Mandarins are more tolerant of cooler temperatures than are many varieties of sweet orange, and they require only moderate heat to ripen well, making them, along with lemons and limes, well suited to northern climates and cool coastal locales.
The orange (specifically, the sweet orange) is the fruit of the citrus species Citrus Ã sinensis in the family Rutaceae. The fruit of the Citrus Ã sinensis is considered a sweet orange, whereas the fruit of the Citrus Ã aurantium is considered a bitter orange.The sweet orange reproduces asexually (apomixis through nucellar embryony); varieties of sweet orange arise through mutations.range trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical climates for their sweet fruit. The fruit of the orange tree can be eaten fresh, or processed for its juice or fragrant peel. As of 2012, sweet oranges accounted for approximately 70% of citrus production.
