Learn one of the hidden reasons why you still have a thyroid symptoms. If your lab results are "normal"--then why do you still have thyroid symptoms like: * Tired, sluggish * Can't lose weight even with exercise * Feel cold—hands, feet, or all over * Require excessive amounts of sleep to function properly * Increase in weight gain even with low-calorie diet * Gain weight easily * Difficult, infrequent bowel movements * Depression, lack of motivation * Morning headaches that wear off as the day progresses * Outer third of eyebrow thins * Thinning of hair on scalp, face or genitals or hair loss * Dryness of skin and/or scalp * Mental sluggishness * Nervousness and emotional * Insomnia * Night sweats

Is your vertigo or dizziness BPPV or autoimmune?

Learn a simple way to tell if you might be suffering from an undiagnosed autoimmune condition. Examples of autoimmune conditions include: • alopecia areata

Antiphospholipid (AN-te-fos-fo-LIP-id) syndrome occurs when your immune system attacks some of the normal proteins in your blood. It can cause blood clots in your arteries or veins. And it can cause pregnancy complications, such as miscarriage and stillbirth. Blood clots in your leg veins cause a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Damage from blood clots in your organs, such as your kidneys, lungs or brain, depends on the extent and location of the clot. For instance, a clot in your brain can cause a stroke. There's no cure for antiphospholipid syndrome, but medications can reduce your risk of blood clots.

Pregnancy first Trimester

With so many antibiotics available, it isn't possible to list all of them here. But common antibiotics that are generally considered safe during pregnancy include penicillins (such as amoxicillin and ampicillin), cephalosporins (such as cephalexin), and erythromycin.

Therapeutic anticoagulation is recommended for all women with acute VTE; prophylactic anticoagulation is recommended for women at risk, such as those with a past history of thrombosis or thrombophilia or with a mechanical heart valve. The preferred anticoagulants during pregnancy are the heparin compounds.

Womens Issues and Blood Clotting

The venipuncture procedure is complex, requiring both knowledge and skill to perform. Each phlebotomist generally establishes a routine that is comfortable for her or him. Several essential steps are required for every successful collection procedure: Identify the patient. Assess the patient's physical disposition (i.e. diet, exercise, stress, basal state). Check the requisition form for requested tests, patient information, and any special requirements. Select a suitable site for venipuncture. Prepare the equipment, the patient and the puncture site. Perform the venipuncture. Collect the sample in the appropriate container. Recognize complications associated with the phlebotomy procedure. Assess the need for sample recollection and/or rejection. Label the collection tubes at the bedside or drawing area. Promptly send the specimens with the requisition to the laboratory.

we use a single, tapered PDT dilator and kit . All the equipment and supplies listed must be present at the bed-side, because there is no time to go looking for supplies if an airway emergency occurs during the procedure. Two teams are used simultaneously. One team manages the endo-tracheal tube, and the other manages the placement of the tracheostomy tube

Multiple studies demonstrate the safety of propofol in pediatric EDPS. Each has identified a drop in blood pressure and transient hypoxemia as the most frequent complications. In all of the studies in which hypotension was identified there was no evidence of poor perfusion. The hypoxemia in all of these studies quickly responded to minimal intervention with no apparent lasting complications. Although these were pediatric studies, the results were very similar to ours in complication rates and sedation times. Our study did not demonstrate the frequency of decreased blood pressure seen in these pediatric studies but had similar hypoxemia rates.

Flexible bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows a clinician to examine the breathing passages (airways) of the lungs (figure 1). Flexible bronchoscopy can be either a diagnostic procedure (to find out more about a possible problem) or a therapeutic procedure (to try to treat an existing problem or condition).

This is an introduction to ventilator settings like FIO2, PEEP, Flow rate,trigger,TV, and RR. I also discuss how these settings relate to CO2 and O2 control and to complications like oxygen toxicity and barotrauma with an emphasis on physiology.
