A wildfire or wildland fire is a fire in an area of combustible vegetation that occurs in the countryside or rural area. Depending on the type of vegetation where it occurs, a wildfire can also be classified more specifically as a brush fire, bush fire, desert fire, forest fire, grass fire, hill fire, peat fire, vegetation fire, or veld fire. Fossil charcoal indicates that wildfires began soon after the appearance of terrestrial plants 420 million years ago. Wildfire’s occurrence throughout the history of terrestrial life invites conjecture that fire must have had pronounced evolutionary effects on most ecosystems' flora and fauna.

Lausch, Katelyn R. Lamb, Brent W. Alumbaugh. Department of Kinesiology, Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, Colorado . INTRODUCTION. Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare genetic condition which causes weakness of the eyelids and the pharynx. This can affect vision, swallowing, chewing, and talking. These symptoms are exaggerated during and post exercise. Different procedures have been used to improve these symptoms. Esophageal dilation surgery (EDS) involves widening a narrowed area of the esophagus and has been an effective intervention for patients with OPMD. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in swallowing characteristics pre and post exercise in a patient with OPMD prior to and post EDS..
