Maple sap, as it comes from the tree is a clear, slightly sweet liquid. The sugar content rages from one to four percent. A device called a hydrometer can be floated in the sap to determine the exact sugar content. Sweeter sap is favored because less water will have to be evaporated to make maple syrup.t takes about forty gallons of this slightly sweet sap, boiled down, to make one gallon of pure maple syrup. The sugarmaker concentrates his attention to the front of the evaporator where the boiling sap is turning a golden color as it approaches being maple syrup.
Overview: Otosclerosis is a common condition affecting the bone of the otic capsule in 7.3% of Caucasian males and 10.3% of Caucasian females. The condition is rare in non-Caucasians, except East Indians, in whom the incidence is approximately the same as persons of northern or central European origin.
About 5.6 new cases of osteosarcoma per million people are reported in the United States every year. It is more common in males than in females. It is far more common in adolescents and young adults (ages 10-25) than in children or older adults. The average age of the osteosarcoma patient is 15 years old, and is very rare after the age of 40. However, osteosarcoma of the jaw, which is rare, is most common in men between the ages of 20 and 40.
