Peritonitis is an inflammation (irritation) of the peritoneum. This is the thin tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdomen and covers most of the abdominal organs. Peritonitis is caused by a collection of blood, body fluids, or pus in the belly (abdomen). One type is called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SPP). It occurs in people with ascites. Ascites is the buildup of fluid in the space between the lining of the abdomen and the organs.
Geographic Center of the United States Map. The Geographic Center of the United States (contiguous 48) is located about two miles northwest of Lebanon, Kansas. Take US Highway 281 north 1 mile, and turn west one mile on K-191 to the maker that has been erected at the end of the paved road.
The geographic center of the United States was immortalized in Neil Gaimanâs fictional book, American Gods. The place today contains a small chapel, plaque and an American flag. The geographic center of the United States taking Alaska and Hawaii into the equation is located near a town called Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Although the NGS no longer maintains a stance on where the geographic center of the US is, this is widely considered the more accurate measurement.
