A navy shower is [an expression] used for a water-saving technique that was started in the Navy to help save precious freshwater aboard ships. The basic idea is to hop in the shower, get wet all over, turn off the water while soaping up, and then rinse clean. The small change in routine makes a huge difference: a regular shower can use as much as 60 gallons of water, while a navy shower can check in at about 3 gallons.

OBS

G.I. bath: The abbreviation "G.I." was used in the United States Armed Forces for a man enlisted in the Army.

Au sens strict, le terme carcinoïde désigne des tumeurs développées à partir de la cellule entérochromaffine (EC), caractérisée [...] au plan histochimique par son argentaffinité (fixation directe des sels d'argent) [...] Mais toutes les tumeurs de morphologie carcinoïdienne ne sont pas des tumeurs à cellules EC : on distinguait classiquement les carcinoïdes argentaffines, les carcinoïdes argyrophiles non argentaffines (ne fixant l'argent qu'après adjonction d'un réducteur) et les carcinoïdes non réactifs. Seuls les premiers sont à cellules EC.
