During a HIDA Scan a scanner monitors the radioisotope that was initially injected. When (CCK) cholecystokinin, a hormone that's normally released by the body after a meal, is injected, the contraction of the gallbladder is identified on the scan. Reduced contraction (which often produces pain) may mean anything from actual gallbladder disease/dysfunction, to inflammation or scarring.
United States History. Volstead Act. Andrew J. Volstead, Republican representative from Minnesota, was the driving force behind the National Prohibition Act (popularly the Volstead Act), written to provide for the enforcement of the recently ratified 18th Amendment.
Corruption even extended to the federal government where as thirty percent of them were against Prohibition. One of the main reasons why Prohibition ended was because of the St. Valentine Massacre. This was one of the biggest gang fights ever whereas Al Capone's men killed seven gangsters. This was the turning point. People saw that Prohibition was causing so much gang violence and people wanted to give up the 'noble experiment'. Some women went out in the streets protesting for the end of Prohibition the same as the women who went up to pass Prohibition.
