If you look at a raw chart of the price of gas, and how much it has gone up since 1919 (the first year of available EIA statistics), it does indeed look scary. You can see a low of $0.17/gallon in 1931 rise all the way up to $3.53/gallon in 2011.he simple definition of inflation according to Wikipedia is: âA rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.â Keep in mind, that at the end of World War I, average annual income was only $1,500. Currently, annual income is around $50,000.
Greenstick fracture. Greenstick fractures on X-ray. A greenstick fracture is a fracture in a young, soft bone in which the bone bends and breaks. Greenstick fractures usually occur most often during infancy and childhood when bones are soft. The name is by analogy with green (i.e., fresh) wood which similarly breaks on the outside when bent.
An open fracture is one in which the bone breaks through the skin; it may then recede back into the wound and not be visible through the skin. This is an important difference from a closed fracture because with an open fracture there is a risk of a deep bone infection. Some fracture types are: 1  A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type occurs most often in children. 2  A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis. 3  An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.
