I'm a surgeon, and take pride that I haven't had any MRSA infections or other serious ones, in my patients. One of my colleagues had one of his patients develope one, which really bothered him. The cause of it became clear to me when I saw that another patient (neither of ours) down the hall did have MRSA, and the hospital orderly used the same blood pressure cuff on that patient and then on his patient.
Much excited yelling followed that. Because HMO penitration and medical payments to hospitals have continued to slide, most hospitals only have a few R.N.'s for 20-30 patients, and have many nursing aids, because that's all they can afford now. Many of the support staff are great, but they don't have the training to realise what they are doing wrong.
My tie generally stays tucked in my buttoned up labcoat, and my lab coat is bleached weekly. I highly doubt most MRSA cases are related to ties being dragged around on patients. Most bacteria only survive on dry surfaces for about 2 days at most, so I think you're safe from doctors ties if they have more than 3 ties.
I've basically slept anywhere from 3-5 hours a night for the past 20+ years, with no ill effects. I catch a cold maybe once a year, and most people think I look about 5 to 10 years younger than I am. As far as cognition goes, I'm a surgeon and my patients do well. I'll sleep more when I'm dead
There's something called Ridgebuilder - it's designed to temporarily enhance fingerprnts. I'm a surgeon and typically 'cause we scrub our hands so much we have ill-defined fingerprints. Part of being medically licensed, requires us to be fingerprinted, and many of us have difficulty with this part due to the polished nature of our hands. Ridgebuulder is one of the products recommended to help us become successfully printed.
It's called Fun and Games - in Wayne New Jersey in the WIllobrook mall. It's open 365 days a year, and has pinbal machines, DDR, multi player racing games, air hockey and practically anything else you could want. It probably has 150-200 machines. It's been there for at least 30 years.
A colleague of mine just rebuilt his house, and his wife wanted heated bathroom tiles, even though we're in L.A. and "cold" weather is like 60F (15 Cel). Anyway they installed a brand new fancy thermostat for both the house and the bathroom. As it turns out, the two systems "fought" each other - the house wanted to cool, and the bathroom floor wanted to heat.
End result was a $1500 ONE MONTH electricity bill.
I'll tell you later about the large sized gas stove requiring a commercial grade Halon fire exstinguisher system. HA HA HA.
Atlas V generates a peak 4 meganewton thrust. The old Saturn V(apollo booster) generated up to 35MN, and could deliver up to 120,000 pounds into low Earth orbit.
Sigh... were the Moon landings a technological feat, never to be duplicated?
This would have been much cooler if he had added one of those Ipod speaker assemblies, so that he could have music comming from the geiger counter. Maybe even record a geiger counter and play it every once and a while.
Guyon's Canal syndrome (Ulnar tunnel) occurs specifically in the hand/wrist where the ulnar nerve travels (usually exacerbated by bike riding/jack hammers). Cubital tunnel syndrome is from compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow ("funny bone" area), and it is seen in people who flex/extend their elbow a lot, among other things.
Go see an orthopaedic hand surgeon for correct treatment. Elbow splinting at night should be tried at first. Basically you use something to wrap around the elbow to keep it from bending at night. SUrgery should always be the last resort, unless you are having severe muscle wasting in the hand.
I'm actually an Orthopaedic surgeon - treatment for this is either a corticosteroid injection, anti-inflammatories, and/or a thumb/wrist splint. Once conservative treatment(I.e. non-operative) fails to provide relief, a simple same day surgery to release the constricting fascial band around the tendons in the wrist almost always works to provide relief. Go see a hand surgeon to be treated correctly, and not your family medical doctor.
Oh man - sounds like fun. Interesting projects are listed below
1) See subject title. Cat + Tesla coil = fun 2)Industrial strength Twinkie testing! - Nickel plated Twinkies anyone? 3) Raw hamburger + huge charged capacitor = "Insta-cooked" hamburger 4) Use electron microscope to take picture of a cell of yours. Use inductrial fabricating machine to create 100,000x actual size copy out of rare ceramic. Proceed to chrome it. Use as object d'art. 5) Does your girlfrind have a second cat? Rapidly freeze in liquid CO2 bath, soak in acetone to remove oily fats, then chrome plate cat. 6)Make ultra hard/dense ceramic Dungeons and Dragons dice - especially the pointy, pyramidal 4sided die. Can be used as emergency caltops to escape from bad guys. 7) Make shatter proof ceramic coffe mug out of $10,000 ceramic. "Accidentally" drop off desk often, and make co-workers envious of your "lucky" cup. 8) Freeze dry rose, and gold plate. This will be useful for making up with girlfriend from steps 1 & 5 9)Make rail gun and fire magnetically plated ceramic sabot at ultra-fast frozen pumpkin. Film at high speed. 10) Use industrial kiln as personal trash incinerator.
The percentage of crimes committed by teens is going down, because thee are less teens, and more adults, now that we have finished the mini-baby boom. What one needs to do, is to look at the RATES that teens commit crimes - i.e. numer of crimes committed y teens, per 1000 teens, and this is probably strongly linked to the unemployment rate. In order to judge weather societies actions have an efect on teen behavior (one m,easurement would be crime), one needs to look at the change of RATE, , since this measures the actions of teens only. Overall percentage of crimes committed will fluctuate merely on the overall percent of teens in the popluation, which will give a false measurement.
If these "nets" are being put up around cities, then chances are, that the animals that live off the mosquitos won't be present in large numbers. Insect populations are fairly robust, remember when DDT spraying was routinely done over large parts of the wilderness - the mosquitoes are still here. The main predators of mosquitoes are fish (larval/egg stage), bats, some various insects and mainly of coarse, the dragonfly!
This sounds like a fairly safe application, but should always be observed, just in case.
This is a fairly well known fact. To absolutely corect would have been better to say that some Asians often have a copy of the ADH gene that doesn't function (essentially),as compared to ethnic caucasians. There are some racial differences in drug metabolism. See also G6P metabolism in people of Afican and mediterrainian descent - certain drugs used to prevent malaria caused a hemolytic anemia (red cells burst).
A majority of people in the East are missing a gene -alcohol dehydrogenase. So basically when they drink the alcohol isn't broken down, and it just keeps running around in their system for a much longer time. Sake s a very popular drink in Japan, but still a huge percentage of the population is missing that gene.
It costs roughly 1 Billion dollars $1,000,000,000) to bring a new drug to the marketplace, after all the FDA testing, long term studies, phase 3 trials are done. Your estimate of the marketing costs is off by a factor of 10.
I'm sorry, but I prefer the richness and a more natural warmth of browsing the internet over copper wires. Fiber optic lends a certain harshness to the "feel" of internet surfing, resulting in a less enjoyable experience. I use special oxide free copper wiring and power cords to eliminate excessive "power banding" that produce a grittiness to the intenet.
I've noticed that a fair amount of people on City of Heroes are women (stay at home moms) - maybe it has to do with the style of game it is - a cooperative type game. Men tend to like situations where you either compete against eachother, or have a definite leader (like the armed forces, football team etc.) Women tend to like situations where everyone works together. C.O.H. seems to appeal to this style of play.
While it's difficult to get accurate stats on the real percentages of men and women playing games, I'm sure that different types/styles of games will tend to have a greater or lesser amount of the various sexes.
I'm not surprised to see more women playing games , as the games evolve into more of a social type of situation. I, for one, like this development, as it seems to cut down on the amount of trash talking that young teenage boys tend to do, and also broadens the game strategies (men and women definetely think differently, not that one is better than the other).
The fee his friend paid was for the professional reading to make the diagnosis, the hosp owns the x-ray. As far as your little theory goes - it's ok in concept, but fails miserably in it's application. A radiograph has many subtle shadings, that some homebrew scanner copying will not reproduce. I actually am an orthopaedic surgeon and have seen some images like that - I can't make anything, but the most basic of diagnoses off poor quality copies like that. This then wastes time for both of us, and would just annoy me as a consulted surgeon. At this point I might be thinking - if I have to operate on this guy - would he follow instructions, or would he try to cut corners, and say borrow his friends antibiotic which is the wrong kind and 2 years expired.
It's easy to have the lab loan out, or have copies made of the films - does your friend just not want to pay $10 to have a proper copy made? I get patients in my office every week with thick jackets of films from other hospitals, my staff just mails them back. Is something else going on here?

Yes, I do realize that on the same day your tie could be dragged from one patient to the next, but who does that?
Much excited yelling followed that.

I guess they could sell it to a foreign middle man for "research" purposes, whereas then he would sell it to a perfume company.

But when you ask someone else for change, it screws up the whole system. Probably stores won't keep track of what bills they hand you either.
