The Water Monitor is the largest lizard that you can possibly own, dwarfed only in body size by the giant Komodo Dragon. The longest recorded lizard is actually a Water Monitor, measuring 10â 4â long! An average adult Water will reach at least 6 feet from tip to tail, and can easily weigh 40-60 pounds.t is my job to make sure that when you do choose a Water Monitor, or any new reptile, to be part of your life for the next 10 or 20 years, that you are prepared and that you can fulfill the lifelong needs of that reptile. Monitors are time consuming animals.
Pericarditis Definition. Inflammation of the lining around the heart (the pericardium) that causes chest pain and accumulation of fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion). There are many causes of pericarditis, including infections, injury, radiation treatment, and chronic diseases.
The pericardium has several functions: The pericardium is divided into three layers: The pericardial cavity lies between the visceral pericardium and the parietal pericardium. This cavity is filled with pericardial fluid which serves as a shock absorber by reducing friction between the pericardial membranes. Pericarditis is a disorder of the pericardium in which the pericardium becomes swollen or inflamed. Some causes of pericarditis include bacterial or viral infections, cancer, and hear attack.
