Fop became a pejorative term for a foolish man excessively concerned with his appearance and clothes in 17th-century England. Some of the very many similar alternative terms are: "coxcomb",fribble, "popinjay" (meaning "parrot"), fashion-monger, and "ninny". "Macaroni" was another term, of the 18th century, more specifically concerned with fashion.
A modern-day fop may also be a reference to a foolish person who is excessively concerned about his clothing, luxuries, minor details, refined language and leisurely hobbies. He is generally incapable of engaging in conversations, activities or thoughts without the idealism of aesthetics or pleasures.
The word "fop" is first recorded in 1440, and for several centuries just meant a fool of any kind; the Oxford English Dictionary notes first use with the meaning of "one who is foolishly attentive to and vain of his appearance, dress, or manners; a dandy, an exquisite" in 1672. An early example of the usage is in the restoration drama The Soldier's Fortune, in which a woman dismisses a potential suitor by saying "Go, you are a fop."
FOP or fop may refer to:
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare connective tissue disease. The disease is caused by a mutation of the body's repair mechanism, which causes fibrous tissue (including muscle, tendon, and ligament) to be ossified spontaneously or when damaged. In many cases, injuries can cause joints to become permanently frozen in place. Surgical removal of the extra bone growths has been shown to cause the body to "repair" the affected area with even more bone.
For unknown reasons, children born with FOP have deformed big toes, possibly missing a joint or simply presenting with a notable lump at the minor joint. The first "flare-up" that leads to the formation of FOP bones usually occurs before the age of 10. The bone growth progresses from the top downward, just as bones grow in fetuses. A child with FOP will typically develop bones starting at the neck, then on the shoulders, arms, chest area and finally on the feet.
Mystery Diagnosis is a television program that airs on the OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. Each episode focuses on two or more individuals and their struggles to find out what ailments they suffer from. As the program's title suggests, doctors have a difficult time finding a diagnosis, often due to nonspecific symptoms, masquerading syndromes, the rarity of the condition or disease, or the patient's case being an unusual manifestation of said condition or disease.
The series debuted on Discovery Health Channel in 2005, and was continued when the Oprah Winfrey Network replaced Discovery Health on January 1, 2011; the current season premiered January 5, 2011.
The episodes's opening titles once began with a voice-over narration that transcribed as follows:
That narration was later dropped in favor of on-screen captions that read:
What if
all the tests
told you NOTHING?
They study the symptoms.
They look for signs.
They find the cure.

No-one it seems is safe on the Kings highways from the notorious highwayman and his fearful alter-ego 'The Scayrecrow'. Though his name is whispered in the same breath as Turpin, Rookwood's motives are not mere brutality and greed. Every full moon, after robbing the gentry of their riches, Rookwood steals away to deliver the choicest of the booty to his love, the serving girl Eleanor Tawney. As the reward for his capture grows ever large, these moonlit rendezvous attract unwanted attention...and slowly and surely plans are drawn against them.

F.O.P. is one of the rarest, most disabling genetic conditions known to medicine, it causes bone to form in muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues. Bridges of extra bone develop across joints, progressively restricting movement and forming a second skeleton that imprisons the body in bone. There are no other known examples in medicine of one normal organ system turning into another.

Like other seven-year-olds she is a member of the Rainbows, loves going to school and seeing her friends and really, really wants to go horse riding. However unlike most young girls she understands the meaning of the words Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, an extremely rare genetic condition that affects just 450 people worldwide. FOP is a degenerative disease that slowly paralyses the body. The faulty gene triggers muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues to turn into bone.

Luciana Wulkan, 17, suffers Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) - an extremely rare connective tissue disease which affects just 800 people worldwide. Also known as Stone Man Syndrome, it slowly turns muscles, tendons, ligaments into solid bone, and is currently incurable. She was born with a stiff neck, and began struggling to move her joints as she grew. Now studying for her A-levels, her jaw has also locked and she has lost the use of her right hand after her wrist muscles fused into bone. But while the disease can leave sufferers completely immobilised, she is determined to remain positive, and even does her own make up every day with her left hand. Miss Wulkan said: 'The condition is slowly calcifying my muscles and other soft tissues into bone.' 'It eventually leaves...

A show about one of the most devastating medical disorders known to man: Fibrodisplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). My daughter has this and some of her photos were used in this documentary. Read more about Erin (and her friend Miranda) at www.friendswithfop.com
It was a reunion of old friends, and they all have one of the rarest diseases on earth. Nancy Sando said, "My jaw is completely fused." Ashley Kurpiel said, "My leg is fused at the hip." Their condition causes their muscles, ligaments, and tendons to become bone, turning their bodies rock hard. "We are turning into human statues. We can't move," said Kurpiel. Three friends who suffer from a disease known as FOP (Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva). There are only 700 known cases in the world, and almost half of them are in the U.S. Kurpiel lives outside Atlanta, Georgia. As a toddler, her arm was amputated after doctors misdiagnosed her with cancer. They missed the tell-tale signature of FOP disease, a crooked big toe. Now, her muscles have started hardening into bone. "I canno...
A National Geographic video about Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, Recorded by me. Used Software: Camtasia 7 (Video Recording) Audacity (Audio Recording) Sony Vegas 9.0 e (Editing)
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Dr. Joseph A. Kitterman, UCSF Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, explores Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic disease (incidence 1 in 2 million) and one of the most horrific conditions that affect humans. In FOP, skeletal muscle, tendons, and ligaments undergo endochondral ossification in episodes known as flare-ups that lead to progressive permanent loss of range motion in joints. Most people with FOP are initially given erroneous diagnoses, often leading to inappropriate treatment with permanent complications. Currently, there is no effective treatment, but recent research suggests there will be a clinical trial of treatment in the relatively near future.

Genauso trug es sich zu bei Jeannie Peeper, geboren in Michigan 1958. Kein Arzt wurde stutzig angesichts der verbogenen Zehen von Roger zum Felde, geboren 1965 bei Hamburg. Niemand schrie Alarm im bayerischen Kempten, als 1989 Matthias Sommer das Licht der Welt erblickte. Mit schiefen Zehen wurde am 11. September 1996 in New York Sophia Forshtay aus dem Mutterleib gezogen, ein munteres Baby von über 3500 Gramm Gewicht. Das mit den Zehen, sagten die Doktoren, das würde sich schon richten lassen. Sie irrten. Sie wussten nicht, was Fred Kaplan weiß. Kaplan, ein Mediziner am Uni-Krankenhaus in Philadelphia, hat seine Karriere und sein Leben dem Studium der bösen Botschaft gewidmet, die aus den verformten Gliedmaßen spricht. Kaplan, 51, hat in über zwölf Jahren mehr als 390 dieser Gezeichneten ...
