Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a complex condition that is identified by chronic inflammation of the bladder muscle layers, which produces the following symptoms: 1  pelvic and abdominal pain and pressure. 2  frequent urination.  urgency (feeling like you need to urinate, even right after urinating)
The slash (/), also known as a stroke and by the technical term solidus, is a sign used as a punctuation mark and for various other purposes. It is often called a forward slash, a retronym used to distinguish it from the backslash (\).It has many other names.he slash is also used to indicate a line break when quoting multiple lines from a poem, play, or headline; or in an ordinary prose quotation, the start of a new paragraph. In this case, a space is placed before and after the slash.
Nor is the word slash (as opposed to /, which I never mentioned) a punctuation mark: it has a pronunciation, it has a spelling entirely composed of lettersâ¦ Its etymology, of course, is that it's the name of a non-alphabet printing character. But I didn't want an etymology for it. I wanted a category.
