"DESERT STORM SYNDROME" (1991 Gulf War)

"DESERT STORM SYNDROME" (1991 Gulf War) = GEE, IFFIN' I KNOW THIS SPECTRAL KARYOTYPING IS A GOD-SENT HEADS UP TO MEDICAL SCIENTISTS, why is your doctors' heads doing that ostrich head in the sand thing?

ANS = Merk, Eli Lilly, et al (and everyone in their foresomes on the golf course)

Our Veterans are suffering from "DESERT STORM SYNDROME" (1991 Gulf War) and all that chromosome damage from all that "AGENT ORANGE" that Lyndon Baines Johnson and nIXON sprayed on Veterans my age !!!

Good science will tell what medical mystery is in your near future. And golfers were not sprayed with AGENT ORANGE in Vietnam if their money worked for them and they have a GOLDEN PARACHUTE !!!

So here is medical jargon requiring a medical dictionary. If your doctor takes Blue Cross and B.S., he has sold out. Chicago_Geek has a "Registered Nurse" in my immediate family following in Aunt Madeline's -- Mrs. Zuercher's -- "RN" tradition. Cousin Susie would get blackballed if she explained this to me. So go on eBAY and purchase a good Medical Dictionary, and I hope you read faster than I do.

Spectral karyotyping (SKY) is a new (invented in 1991 as far as my research has found) fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) technique that refers to the molecular cytogenetic analysis of metaphase preparations by means of spectral microscopy. For SKY of human metaphase chromosomes, 24 chromosome-specific painting probes are used in just one FISH experiment.
