Berthelot remarked of some names on the Hispanic coast " The omission of Emporium, contrasting strangely with the names of Tarragon and Barcelona, may characterize the method of Avienus, who searches archaic documents and mingles his searches of them with his impressions as an official of the fourth century A. D ." ( Barthelmy, Introduction ).

Tarragon, dragon's-wort, French tarragon, Russian tarragon, silky wormwood, or wild tarragon ( Artemisia dracunculus ) is a perennial herb in the family Asteraceae related to wormwood.

Tarragon grows to 120 – 150 cm tall, with slender branched stems.

Tarragon has an aromatic property reminiscent of anise, due to the presence of estragole, a known carcinogen and teratogen in mice.

Tarragon is one of the four fines herbes of French cooking, and is particularly suitable for chicken, fish and egg dishes.

Tarragon is the main flavoring component of Béarnaise sauce.

Tarragon is used to flavor a popular carbonated soft drink in the countries of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and, by extension, Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

cis-Pellitorin, an isobutyramide eliciting a pungent taste, has been isolated from Tarragon plant.

In 1971, he became aware of a new theatre, the Tarragon in Toronto, that was producing a play called Creeps.

Glasco produced the play and it filled the final slot in the Tarragon ’ s first season.

Of The Fields, Lately ( 1973 ), French's sequel to Leaving Home, also produced at the Tarragon, won the Chalmers Award for 1973.

And Soldier ’ s Heart, which explores the effect of the First World War on two generations of Mercers, was produced at the Tarragon in 2001.

Some of the major theatre companies of Toronto include: Canadian Stage Company, Tarragon Theatre, Theatre Passe-Muraille, the Factory Theatre, Soulpepper Theatre Company, Buddies in Bad Times and Alumnae Theatre.

His directing credits include Soulpepper's productions of Death of a Salesman, Twelfth Night, As you Like It, Oh What a Lovely War, The Caretaker, Waiting for Godot, No Man's Land, A Chorus of Disapproval, The Time of Your Life, and Susan Coyne's Kingfisher Days for the Tarragon Theatre.

Concerned, Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus go to stay with Calculus's old friend and only expedition member yet to be affected, the ebullient Professor Tarragon.

Tarragon is keeping Rascar Capac's mummy in his house and is being tightly guarded against any attack.

Tarragon, clearly shaken, informs them a prophecy has come true: Rascar Capac has returned to his element and punishment will descend upon the desecrators.

After Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus are each visited in their nightmares by the mummy, the three awaken to find Professor Tarragon comatose with the telltale shards of crystal by his bed.

Tarragon awakens and screams about mysterious figures attacking him, before slipping back into a coma.

Tintin realizes Chiquito disappeared the same night Professor Tarragon was attacked and Calculus kidnapped and deduces he could be one of the kidnappers.

The Tarragon Theatre is a theatre in Toronto, Canada, and one of the main centers for contemporary playwriting in the country.

In 1987, Tarragon purchased and renovated the building that has been its home since 1971.

Tarragon is well known for its development, creation and encouragement of new work.

Over 170 works have premiered at Tarragon.

In addition, pentoxifylline improves red blood cell deformability ( known as a hemorrheologic effect ), reduces blood viscosity and decreases the potential for platelet aggregation and thrombus formation.

The laparoscopic method speeds recovery time and reduces blood loss and infection as compared to the traditional " open " cholecystectomy.

:; Aortic stenosis: Narrowing of the aortic valve opening that reduces blood flow through the valve.

:; Mitral stenosis: Narrowing of the mitral valve opening that reduces blood flow through the valve.

:; Pulmonic stenosis: Narrowing of the pulmonary valve opening that reduces blood flow through the valve.

The biological thinning mechanism is not entirely known, but there is strong evidence that p, p '- DDE inhibits calcium ATPase in the membrane of the shell gland and reduces the transport of calcium carbonate from blood into the eggshell gland.

The drug, ATryn, is an anticoagulant which reduces the probability of blood clots during surgery or childbirth.

Over the last two decades, the evidence that better glycemic control ( i. e., keeping blood glucose and HbA1c levels as close to normal as possible ) reduces the rates of many complications of diabetes has become overwhelming.

* Reduced hemorrhaging, which reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion.

Methemoglobinemia can be treated with methylene blue, which reduces ferric iron ( 3 +) in affected blood cells back to ferrous iron ( 2 +).

And while it reduces the risk of breast cancer it increases the risk of blood clots and strokes.

Soluble fiber also attenuates the absorption of sugar, reduces sugar response after eating, normalizes blood lipid levels and, once fermented in the colon, produces short-chain fatty acids as byproducts with wide-ranging physiological activities ( discussion below ).

Insulin resistance in muscle and fat cells reduces glucose uptake ( and also local storage of glucose as glycogen and triglycerides, respectively ), whereas insulin resistance in liver cells results in reduced glycogen synthesis and storage and a failure to suppress glucose production and release into the blood.

Viscous soluble fibers may also attenuate the absorption of sugar, reduces sugar response after eating, normalizes blood lipid levels and, once fermented in the colon, produce short-chain fatty acids as byproducts with wide-ranging physiological activities ( discussion below ).

This hard cover is what causes a narrowing of the artery, reduces the blood flow and increases blood pressure.

Beta blockers cause a decrease in renin secretion, which in turn reduces the heart oxygen demand by lowering extracellular volume and increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.

The blockade of only beta receptors increases hypertension, reduces coronary blood flow, left ventricular function, and cardiac output and tissue perfusion by means of leaving the alpha-adrenergic system stimulation unopposed.

It has a strong blood schizonticidal action and reduces gametocyte transmission.

This uses up more oxygen in the blood stream and reduces the time to unconsciousness.

If the muscles contract more than normal, for example in cold weather, the blood vessels also contract so that less blood passes through them, and also reduces the loss of body heat.

This increases the risk of cardiac arrest ( specifically due to ventricular dysrhythmias ), and reduces blood supply to the rest of the body.

This reduces spare capacity for ventilation, causes stiffening of the lungs and reduces the efficiency of gas exchange by increasing the distance between the air and the blood.
