Where can you buy the the racing form in Philadelphia PA?

You can find the DRF at the various Turf Club locations, information on them and their hours is on Parx Racing's website. I've also seen it on some of the newsstands downtown. However, I don't know where to find it in neighborhoods (I assume there must be some local places that carry it) and unfortunately the 'form finder' on DRF's website is not very helpful, which is what led me to this website where I was dismayed to find that there wasn't any answer at all.

Philadelphia is located closest to what meridian?

There is no standard set of meridians that everybody has to use, and when you

need one you have to pick one out of the official set that's somewhere close.

You would not ask somebody "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?"

You would ask him "How tall are you ?" Even if there doesn't happen to be a mark

on the ruler at that exact height, there could be.

Similarly, a meridian can be drawn at any longitude, and you don't ask "What

longitude are you close to ?", you ask "What is your longitude ?".

Pectus carinatum?

Definition

Pectus carinatum describes a protrusion of the chest over the sternum, often described as giving the person a bird-like appearance.

Alternative Names

Pigeon breast

Considerations

Pectus carinatum may occur as a solitary abnormality or in association with other genetic disorders or syndromes.The condition causes the sternum to protrude, with a narrow depression along the sides of the chest. This gives the chest a bowed-out appearance similar to that of a pigeon.

People with pectus carinatum generally develop normal hearts and lungs, but the deformity may prevent these from functioning optimally. There is some evidence that pectus carinatum may prevent complete expiration of air from the lungs in children. These young people may have a decrease in stamina, even if they do not recognize it.

Apart from the possible physiologic consequences, pectus deformities can have a significant psychologic impact. Some children live happily with pectus carinatum. For others, though, the shape of the chest can damage their self-image and self-confidence, possibly disrupting connections with others.

Common CausesHome Care

No specific care is indicated for this condition.

Call your health care provider if

Call your health care provider if you notice that your child's chest seems abnormal in shape.

What to expect at your health care provider's office

A brace may be used to treat children and young adolescents.

The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the patient's medical history and symptoms. Question may include:

  • When did you first notice this? Was it present at birth, or did it develop as the child grew?
  • Is it getting better, worse, or staying the same?
  • What other symptoms are also present?

Pulmonary function testing may be useful to determine the impact of the deformity on the performance of the heart and lungs. Laboratory studies such as chromosome studies, enzyme assays, x-rays, or metabolic studies may be ordered to confirm the presence of a suspected disorder.

Surgery is a possible treatment option. There have been some reports of improved exercise ability and improved lung perfusion scans after surgery.
