Acid phosphatase (health)


Acid phosphatase is an enzyme that works under acid conditions and is made in the liver, spleen, bone marrow and the prostate gland. Abnormally high serum levels of the enzyme may, for example, indicate prostate disease (infection, injury, or cancer).





Bateman, Hester (sh)




orig. Hester Needham

born 1709, London, Eng.
died 1794, London

British silversmith.

In 1760, after the death of her husband, John Bateman, she took over the family business. Until 1774 she generally executed designs commissioned by Other silversmiths. After that time her shop became well known for its tableware, such as spoons, sugar bowls, saltcellars, and teapots. Bateman's designs were restrained and graceful, characterized by beaded edges. In addition to domestic silver, she produced large presentation pieces.
