I will admit that after almost half a century of learning that oxygen deprivation kills cells, it's hard to swallow the new theories that cell death doesn't actually occur until the cells are re-exposed to oxygen. It's true though, and new therapies of cardiac arrest survivors, such as induced hypothermia have greatly improved outcomes. Here are a couple of the easier to understand studies:
Headache - I kid you not. Every. Single. patient that mentions they have a headache will get an MRI or CT scan in case they're bleeding into their brain.
Actually, this is the first thing they do if there's any suspicion of testicular cancer. I had some aches and pains and a little lump on Rightie, so I was sent off right away to have a scrotal ultrasound.
Does anyone know if/how that sort of diagnostic ultrasound differs from this? They didn't say ANYTHING to me about it affecting fertility.
This is therapeutic ultrasound normally used in sports injuries and such. It sends out the sound waves in frequencies that are way different than in diagnostic ultrasound. Therapeutic ultrasound has a direct effect on cells, whether vibrating them enough to trigger an inflammatory response or vibrating them at a certain wavelength to cause cells to heat up.
Either way, not something I want aimed at my ballsack.
Except that you're talking about braking with the engine decoupled from the transmission. Compare the 0-60 time to the 60-0 time while you're maintaining throttle for a more accurate test.
Argh! I know this is off topic but it's a huge pet peeve of mine
A butterfly needle and a straight needle are both the same in diameter. On the ambulance, everyone asks for a butterfly needle because the nurses at the hospital tell them it's smaller, and each time, I get a straight needle into their "impossible to hit without a butterfly" vein. IV competence is IV competence, no matter which style of needle you use.
As I ask each of my patients who think they know more about medicine than I, What medical school did you go to?
I'd like to start off by saying I agree with your point where, in a collision, the smaller/lighter vehicle loses.
I'd like to know where you took physics however, because there is no distribution of force through vehicles hitting each other head on. If two cars equal in mass hit each other going 60mph, then the resulting collision is just like one of those cars hitting a large tree at 120mph. I'd like to know where you took statistics also, because I have been a paramedic for years, and have yet to see someone live through a head on collision with another vehicle at highway speeds.
An idle average male generates about 250 BTU/hr which equates to 73 watts.
BTU/hr * 0.29287 = Watts
250 BTU/hr is only the measure of heat given off by a human body at room temperature. It has nothing to do with the amount of work able to be performed. That's like saying a 30,000 BTU furnace should be able to act as a power source for my house.
I have serious issues with the administration of dobutamine. It does nothing to maintin peripheral musculature, it only affects the heart. We use it in the field of EMS to elevate a person's blood pressure, or to make the heart beat more strongly when it is failing in congestive heart failure. As such, all it would do is preserve heart muscle, while the rest of your body's musculature gets broken down.
Not to mention all the effects of constricting the blood vessles, and raising the blood pressure.
I am a paramedic (3 years in the field), hence the comment. So far, I have worked (attempted resuscitation on) 23 nonbreathers, 4 of them being infants, had 8 DOA's of natural causes and 5 traumatic DOA's (Threeof them being kids I knew from school.) Please don't try and explain stress to me.
Slightly off topic..
I am a paramedic in Ohio, and the OnStar system called our dispatchers stating there was an accident with ejection, giving us the freeway the guy was on and what exit he was at. I guarantee this guy didn't hit his OnStar button, as he was shot twice and ejected, then subsequently turned into about 6 pieces of hamburger meat as he hit the exit sign.
Apparantly, OnStar calls the police and EMS to an accident when your airbag goes off, and they have a sensor to detect when you're sitting in the driver's seat. Airbag went off, senors in the seat said 'hey wait, no driver no more' and called the correct ambulance company to respond. Kind of neat when you think about it.
Ethanol is your standard drinking alcohol.
You can't ingest isopropyl, you'd puke it right back up. Also has the neat little side effect of making you go blind. So does methanol. So I doubt people would be boring holes in the cases to drink the coolant.
Ah, so the FDIC doesn't want to have to insure them. I wouldn't, either!
This is a false statement by someone who did NOT read the article. PayPal IS insured by FDIC. In fact, PayPal even asked the FDIC their opinion on the matter.
From the article:
The company had asked for an opinion from the FDIC on whether it could pass the insurance protection on to its customers. In its advisory letter, the FDIC said the insurance protections--up to $100,000 per customer per bank--would extend to PayPal customers, even when PayPal deposited the funds for them, PayPal said.
You criticize for people not reading the article, how about not understanding it? The FDIC does not want to insure PayPal directly, but will insure PayPal's deposits into a third party bank, just like they will for anyone making a deposit.
From the article:
As of this quarter, PayPal began depositing customer balances into FDIC-insured bank accounts. The company had asked for an opinion from the FDIC on whether it could pass the insurance protection on to its customers.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 whose native resolution is 1600 x 1200, and on a 15" LCD it has proven itself invaluable. This resolution is crystal clear, and looks only slightly smaller than 1280 x 1024. The extra real estate equates to about what a 21" monitor would look like at 1024 x 768.
Why in the world did you switch from a DSL connection to a cable? Their shared infrastructure makes them almost as slow as a dial-up under heavy usage.

It actually seems quite fair to pay an employee overtime if they work more than 8 hours in a day.
:-(
What is this 8 hour workday I keep hearing people talk about? - Salaried, exempt.
What is this 8 hour workday I keep hearing about? Paramedic, 12 hours on, 8 hours off.
What about the other door(s)?
Where did you go to medical school?

Wow, a topic that would actually warrant a Natalie Portman troll, and I haven't seen one yet. You guys are weird.
