What is a spica cast? A spica cast (also called a hip spica cast or body cast) immobilizes the hips and thighs so that bones or tendons can heal properly. It's usually put on in surgery while the child is sleeping. There are several types of spica casts. They begin at the chest and may extend down to cover one leg, both legs, or the leg on one side and down to the hip or knee of the other side. The doctor will decide what type of spica cast your child needs. Cast care

The immature fruits of the same cultivars are called zucchini (in North America, Australia and Germany) or courgette (in the British Isles, the Netherlands and New Zealand).he fashion for eating immature marrows, called in Britain courgettes, is relatively recent in Britain. Sudell (1966) does not mention courgettes, although he has a section on vegetable marrow, noting both trailing (vining) and bush types and saying cut when young.
Types of Bone Marrow. There are two types of bone marrow, red marrow and yellow marrow. Red bone marrow is found mostly in the ribs, skull, vertebrae, and pelvic bones. It is also the only type of bone marrow found in children. It is red because this is the type of marrow that produces red blood cells.one marrow is found in bones such as the sternum (breastbone), ribs, the pelvis and the skull. It is also found in the large bones of the arms (the humerus) and the legs (the femur). Some marrow is found in what is called spongy bone, which is different from the hard outer shell called compact bone.
