Introduction. The U.S. Constitution established Americaâs national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens. It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, presided over by George Washington. Under Americaâs first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak and states operated like independent countries.
Ictal refers to a physiologic state or event such as a seizure, stroke, or headache. The word originates from the Latin ictus, meaning a blow or a stroke. In electroencephalography (EEG) , the recording during a seizure is said to be ictal.
For the physiological event, see Ictal. For the songbird Icteria, see Yellow-breasted Chat. Jaundice, also known as icterus, is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membranes over the sclerae (whites of the eyes), and other mucous membranes caused by high blood bilirubin levels.
