NASA Discovers Lonely Mountain on Ceres Likely a Salty-Mud Cryovolcano. An isolated mountain near the equator of the dwarf planet Ceres resembles a volcanic dome, according to new observations from NASA's Dawn mission. Like the Lonely Mountain Erebor in J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology, Ahuna Mons on Ceres was once occupied by a dragon, but one that breathed ice, not fire.
Iatrogenesis is a common and serious hazard of hospitalization that is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and nursing home placement, at significant cost to patients and health care organizations alike.
When a patient acquires a new illness or is injured by the services provided by a medical provider, then the result is considered to be iatrogenic.. Iatrogenic events may result during diagnosis or treatment, and they may be physical, mental or emotional problems. The key to the definition is that a new medical problem has cropped up as a result of the actions of the medical provider. The patient would not have gotten sick or hurt had he or she not interfaced with that doctor or practitioner. Iatrogenic comes from the Greek language.
