Healing a man with dropsy Healing a man with dropsy Healing a man with dropsy is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels (Luke 14:1-6). According to the Gospel, one Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, and he was being carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy, i.e. abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law: But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way. Then he asked them: And they had nothing to say.
Tissue residue the exposure media. In general, tissue residue approaches are used for chemicals that bioaccumulate or for bioaccumulative chemicals. The majority of these substances are organic compounds that are not easily metabolized by organisms and have long environmental persistence. Examples of these chemicals include: polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, furans, biphenyls, DDT and its metabolites, and dieldrin. The use of tissue residues in assessing toxicity and bioaccumulation may also be referred to as the tissue residue-effects approach (TRA), critical body residue (CBR) or tissue residue-based toxicity tests. Historically, aquatic toxicology toxicity tests have focused on water-based approaches where concentration of a toxicant is determined
