Would it be possible to acquire HIV from handling a book near possible dried blood on it?Answers: VERY Remote possibility. The soul would own to be HIV positive. Thew blood would own to be smaller number than 20 min. ripened. and you would hold to touch it near an begin would or somehow find into another mucous membrane. You should verbs more roughly speaking hepatitis, which can survive outside the body for a week.
If you have an unstop, fresh wound and you touched the dried blood that have HIV, next perchance. If you ruminate that you hold be infected, you can solitary check 5 or 6 months from very soon. Because thats the with the sole purpose time the HIV virus will show up on test. Good luck! ;)
Good skin connected next to different nationality?
What EUROPEAN nationality own the best reputation for really obedient skin? Especially when it comes to aging and wrinkles...anyone know? I want eurpean background single please!Answers: It's possibly something to do next to diet. Like southern Europeans consume olive grease.Life style also have something to do near it. Sun-worshippers approaching the Germans and the Swiss hold wrinkly problems. Scandinavians tend to gain away near sun worship. Fatty fish I don`t know?
Eastern Europeans are wrinkly but live longer - their furtive is yogurt. (You can put away it or spread it on your skin - the choice is yours).
Have you ever hear that garlic can prevent crown brio?
Answers: I haven't hear of crown brio. I know garlic is really respectable.
Could weed affect your antibiotics? do tonsilitis?
ive have pus pockets, burning within my throat, and bad nibble surrounded by my mouth for olden times month. i enjoy no insurance and im allergic to levaquin. tried to thieve amoxiclav twice surrounded by three weeks. this infection wont shift away!! its really freakin me out! i smoke once a sunshine almost but dont smoke cigarettes. anyone own any answers? could the pot be cause this? im really startled.Answers: Smoking pot can put together any throat infection worse, and the effects of smoking pot is reducing the effect on the antibiotics. its not devout to be smoking at adjectives. so please stop
I saw Sanda Gupta on TV and he said that plastic bottles of river ?
Didn't hurt anyone, that it be an urban fairy tale. Someone started unfolding that plastic bottles surrounded by the sports car return with hot and drinking it will end in cancer. He said, a worst threat be to procure dried up than any entry from plastic hurting you.Was I the merely one who hear that plastic bottles disappeared within a hot vehicle be terrifying to drink?
Answers: I don't know nearly that, but they do contribute to intercontinental warm, which will ultimately affect your robustness. petroleum (which contains carbon) to put together trhe bottles, carbon burned within shipping and deliver the bottles, and nourishing the landfill where on earth they won't deteriorate for thousands of years. Get a britta filter and stockpile yourself the worst sunburn ever.
This is true in-deed, disappearing a wet bottle within the sun can produce toxic chemicals which can organize to multiple problems. Putting a sea bottle within the freezer however will not. The hefty duty sea bottles which are used for hiking, rock climbing, etc are usually uv coated which will not produce the toxic chemicals found contained by $1 wet that you receive from the store if gone within the sun.
One of my womanly dogs is prone to cystitis, anyone own any thinking what the mete out may be?
She is 6 years outdated very soon, have have several bouts and responds efficiently to antibiotics, but the vet have advise on her subsequent bout they want to do an ultrasound. Does anyone know of a diet that may relief prevent cystitis, I do know it's pretty adjectives for females to find cystitis once within a while, but I am concerned that she seem to be getting them more than her share.Answers: generate sure the food is fresh and is not departed out within sun. Try different foods. Your vet can supply you near some specific requests food, which is importantly expensive.
The foremost article you involve to look for is falling germs, especially E. coli from mortal ingested. Also if she is have relations next to another dog, this can also bring microbes to the bladder.
Make sure she have deeply of hose down. This help to flush out microbes essentially.
Why do i return with loss of daydream and dizziness when i stand up?
Okay, this is rock-hard to explain. When I stand up, my fantasy will start to blacken from the outside, and after manufacture its instrument to the center. While this is taking place, I gain tremendously light-headed. My bloodpresure is not normaly low any. When this happen, I enjoy to hold on to somthing or i'll lose my balence. I am 14 years matured, and im within correct vigour. The one worst covering of this happend when i be at a museum. My pave the way started pounding, i lost adjectives of my illusion, and i be roughly to tumble down. (luckly my grandfather caught me and lead me to a chair). i really want to know if near is somthing wrong beside me. Any advocate would be great.Thanks,
Michael
Answers: This is something that I find tremendously adjectives. It happen to me deeply and I really don't verbs. If it happen a great deal its probably due to the rush of blood out of your team leader when you stand up in the blink of an eye. That is what the doctor have told me. So unless it become a constant entry and it is weakening, I wouldn't verbs
Nothing to verbs more or less here, it happen to everyone. Some populace experience more severe symptoms than others, but when you stand up especially promptly it's not at adjectives exceptional to become lightheaded or dizzy.
Even losing figment of the imagination isn't strange.
I don't own a medical explanation, and I'm no professional, but I can enlighten you that you shouldn't be too worried just about this.
this is call postional hypotension. Are you standing up tremendously summarily? if you are, the blood requirements to stay where on earth it is( objects at rest stay at rest, newton's law, snore snore) and it deprives your brain of the oxygen it wants to work.
You can check this yourself. Get a blood pressure cuff and rob your blood pressure sitting down and afterwards again after you stand up with alacrity. The second will be lower.
Try getting up slower, but if this continues, jump see a doctor.
i'm 18 and i own exerienced this several times, once it happen contained by the shower and i truly fell over and passed out... so it be not a caase of standing up too briskly. i am a womanly and sometimes i don't guzzle everything that i should including carbs. usually when i own be dieting i experience this the most. so form sure your ingestion a hanging diet and it may prevent these episodes.

Lactose intolerance
Classification & external resources
Lactose, a disaccharide of β-D-galactose &
β-D-glucose, that is normally split by lactase.

ICD-9 271.3

Lactose intolerance (or hypolactasia) is the term used to describe a decline in the level of lactase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolization of lactose (a sugar that is a constituent of milk and other dairy products), in human beings. Although an estimated 70%[1] of adult humans are considered lactose intolerant, it is uncommon in healthy northern westerners and a few others groups.
There are three major types of lactose intolerance[2]:
Primary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced by weaning in non dairy consuming societies[3]. In most Asian and African cultures, mother's milk is the only commonly available milk and so milk consumption beyond infancy is not commonplace, therefore children become weaned, which is the same weaning process for all mammals (domesticated and wild). However societies such as the japanese where milk consumption has been on the increase, demonstrate that notwithstanding the genetic predisposition to lactose intolerance, they now present lower prevalence of lactose intolerance[4]. For any given individual the degree of weaning is probably genetically influenced.
Secondary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced, resulting from certain gastrointestinal diseases, including exposure to intestinal parasites such as giardia[5][6]. In such cases the production of lactase may be permanently disrupted.[7] + (Wiser 2000, Pennardt 2006).
Congenital lactase deficiency present at birth and diagnosed in early infancy.

[edit] Overview
Without lactase, the lactose disaccharide in many dairy products remains uncleaved and can not be absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream, so remains in the intestines. Enteral bacteria adapt to the relative abundance of this undigested sugar and their operons quickly switch over to lactose metabolism, which produces copious amounts of gas by fermentation.
This also causes a range of unpleasant abdominal symptoms, including stomach cramps, bloating, flatulence and diarrhea. As with other unabsorbed sugars (mannitol), the lactose raises the osmotic pressure of the colon contents, preventing the colon from reabsorbing water and hence causing a laxative effect to add to the excessive gas production.
[edit] Lactase Biology
The gene is expressed and the enzyme synthesized if at least one of the two genes are present. Only when both gene expressions are affected is lactase enzyme synthesis reduced, which in turn reduces lactose digestion.[7]. Lactose tolerance(lactase persistence) is the dominant allele. Lactose intolerance is an autosomal recessive trait.
The normal mammalian condition is for the young of a species to experience reduced lactose (milk sugar) production at the end of the weaning period (a species-specific length of time). In non dairy consuming societies, lactase production usually drops about 90% during the first four years of life, although the exact drop over time varies widely. However, certain human populations have a mutation on chromosome 2 which results in a bypass of the common shutdown in lactase production, making it possible for members of these populations to continue consumption of fresh milk and other dairy products throughout their lives.
Pathological lactose intolerance can occur due to Coeliac disease, which damages the villi in the small intestine that produce lactase. This lactose intolerance is temporary. Lactose intolerance associated with coeliac disease ceases after the patient has been on a gluten-free diet long enough for the villi to recover[citation needed].
Certain people who report problems with consuming lactose are not actually lactose intolerant. In a study of 323 Sicilian adults, Carroccio et al. (1998) found only 4% were both lactose intolerant and lactose maldigesters, while 32.2% were lactose maldigesters but did not test as lactose intolerant. However, Burgio et al. (1984) found that 72% of 100 Sicilians were lactose intolerant in their study and 106 of 208 northern Italians (i.e., 51%) were lactose intolerant.

The statistical significance varies greatly depending on number of people sampled.
Lactose intolerance levels also increase with age. At ages 2 - 3 yrs., 6 yrs., and 9 - 10 yrs., the amount of lactose intolerance is, respectively:
6% to 15% in white Americans and northern Europeans
18%, 30%, and 47% in Mexican Americans
25%, 45%, and 60% in black South Africans
approximately 30%, 80%, and 85% in Chinese and Japanese
30–55%, 90%, and >90% in Mestizos of Peru[23][24]
Chinese and Japanese populations typically lose between 80 and 90 percent of their ability to digest lactose within three to four years of weaning.
Ashkenazi Jews can keep 20 - 30 percent of their ability to digest lactose for many years.[23][25] Of the 10% of the Northern European population that develops lactose intolerance, the development of lactose intolerance is a gradual process spread out over as many as 20 years.[26]
[edit] Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis must distinguish lactose intolerance from milk allergy, which is an abnormal immune response (usually) to milk proteins.
Since lactose intolerance is the normal state for most adults on a worldwide scale, and not considered a disease condition, diagnosis is not necessarily required. However, when confirmation is necessary, different tests are suggested:
[edit] Hydrogen Breath Test
After an overnight fast, 50 grams of lactose (in a solution with water) are swallowed. If the lactose cannot be digested, enteric bacteria metabolize it and produce hydrogen. This can be detected in the air the patient exhales. The test takes about 2 to 3 hours. A medical condition with similar symptoms is fructose malabsorption.
In conjunction, measuring the blood glucose level every 10 - 15 minutes after ingestion will show a "flat curve" in individuals with lactose malabsorption, while the lactase persistent will have a significant "top", with an elevation of typically 50 to 100% within 1 - 2 hours.
[edit] Stool acidity
Required for a clinical diagnosis.[27]
[edit] Intestinal biopsy
An intestinal biopsy can confirm lactose intolerance following discovery of elevated hydrogen in the hydrogen breath test[28].
[edit] Informal test
Done on someone by having the person follow these steps:
Drink 2-4 cups of milk on an empty stomach.
For 48 hours abstain from consuming alcohol or any food or medication (may reduce bacterial activity and falsify results) containing dairy in the forms of lactose, whey, or milk solids.
Monitor for signs of intestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting or severe headache / migraine.
In presence of these symptoms, lactose intolerance is to be suspected and one should seek medical advice.
[edit] History of diagnosis
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 B.C.) first noted gastrointestinal upset and skin problems in some who consumed milk;[29] patients experiencing the former symptom may likely have been suffering from lactose intolerance. However, it was only in the last few decades that the syndrome was more widely described by modern medical science.
The condition was first recognized in the 1950s and 1960s when various organizations like the United Nations began to engage in systematic famine-relief efforts in countries outside Europe for the first time. Holzel et al (1959) and Durand (1959) produced two of the earliest studies of lactose intolerance. As anecdotes of embarrassing dairy-induced discomfort piled up, the First World donor countries could no longer ascribe the reports to spoilage in transit or inappropriate food preparation at the recipient end in the Third World.
Since the first nations to industrialize and develop modern scientific medicine were dominated by people of Western and Northern European descent, adult dairy consumption was long taken for granted. Westerners for some time did not recognize that the majority of the human ethno-genetic groups could not consume dairy products during adulthood. Although there had been regular contact between Europeans and non-Europeans throughout history, the notion that large-scale medical studies should be representative of the ethnic diversity of the human populations (as well as all genders and ages) did not become well-established until after the American Civil Rights Movement.
Since then, the relationship between lactase and lactose has been thoroughly investigated in food science due to the growing market for dairy products among non-Europeans.
Originally it was hypothesised that gut bacteria such as E. coli produced the lactase enzyme needed to cleave lactose into its constituent monosaccharides and thus become metabolisable and digestible by humans. Some form of human-bacteria symbiosis was proposed as a means of producing lactase in the human digestive tract. Genetics and protein analysis techniques by the early 1970s revealed this to be untrue; humans produce their own lactase enzyme natively in intestine cells.
According to Heyman (2006), approximately 70% of the global population cannot tolerate lactose in adulthood. Thus, some argue that the terminology should be reversed — lactose intolerance should be seen as the norm, and the minority groups should be labeled as having lactase persistence. A counter argument to this is that the cultures that don't generally consume unmodified milk products have little need to discuss their intolerance to it, leaving the cultures for which lactose intolerance is a significant dietary issue to define its terminology.
[edit] History of genetic prevalence
Lactose intolerance has been studied as an aid in understanding ancient diets and population movement in prehistoric societies. Milking an animal vastly increases the efficiency of raising it in regards to the calories that can be extracted compared to consumption of its meat alone. It is not surprising then, that consuming milk products became an important part of the agricultural way of life in the Neolithic.
Given that at this time the majority of the population of all areas was lactose intolerant[citation needed] , it is believed that most of the milk was used to make mature cheeses (mostly lactose free). This also corresponds to the amount of lactose in the milk; horse milk has a great deal of lactose, and goat's milk has very little[citation needed]. Roman authors also remark that the people of northern Europe, particularly Britain and Germany drank unprocessed milk (as opposed to the Romans who made cheese).[citation needed] This corresponds very closely with modern European distributions of lactose intolerance, where the people of Britain, Germany and Scandinavia have a good tolerance, and those of southern Europe, especially Italy, have a poorer tolerance.[8]
In east Asia, historical sources also attest that the Chinese did not consume milk, whereas the nomads that lived on the borders did. Again, this reflects modern distributions of intolerance. China is particularly notable as a place of poor tolerance, whereas in Mongolia and the Asian steppes horse milk is drunk regularly. Here they even make an alcoholic beverage, called Kumis, from horse milk (although the fermentation process reduces the amount of lactose present). This tolerance is thought to be advantageous as the nomads do not settle down long enough to process mature cheese or may find themselves regularly going through brief periods of starvation; and given that their prime source of income is generated through horses, to ignore their milk as a source of calories would be greatly detrimental.
The African Fulani have a nomadic origin and their culture once completely revolved around cow, goat, and sheep herding. Dairy products were once a large source of nutrition for them. As might be expected if lactase persistence evolved in response to dairy product consumption, they are particularly tolerant to lactose (about 77% of the population). Many Fulani still live in Guinea-Conakry, Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad.
There is some debate on exactly where and when the mutation(s) occurred. Some argue for separate mutation events in Sweden (which has one of the lowest levels of lactose intolerance in the world) and the Arabian Peninsula around 4000 BC. However, others argue for a single mutation event in the Middle East at about 4500 BC which then subsequently radiated. Some sources suggest a third and more recent mutation in the East African Tutsi. Whatever the precise origin in time and place, most modern Western Europeans and people of European ancestry show the effects of this mutation (that is, they are able to safely consume milk products all their lives) while most modern East Asians, sub-Saharan Africans and native peoples of the Americas and Pacific Islands do not (making them lactose intolerant as adults)[9].
The Maasai ability to consume dairy without exhibiting symptoms may be due to a different genetic mutation than westeners[30]"
A thorough scientific overview of genetic polymorphisms of intestinal lactase activity in adult hypolactasia, is in chapter 76 of OMMBID.[31] A noncoding variation in the MCM6 gene has been strongly associated with adult type hypolactasia.[32]
[edit] Managing lactose intolerance
For persons living in societies where the diet contains relatively little dairy, lactose intolerance is not considered a condition that requires treatment. However, those living among societies that are largely lactose-tolerant may find lactose intolerance troublesome. Although there are still no methodologies to reinstate lactase production, some individuals have reported their intolerance to vary over time (depending on health status and pregnancy[33]). Lactose intolerance is not usually an all-or-nothing condition: the reduction in lactase production, and hence, the amount of lactose that can be tolerated varies from person to person. Since lactose intolerance poses no further threat to a person's health, managing the condition consists in minimizing the occurrence and severity of symptoms. Berdanier and Hargrove recognise 4 general principals: 1)avoidance of dietary lactose, 2)substitution to maintain nutrient intake, 3)regulation of calcium intake, 4)use of enzyme substitute.
[edit] Avoiding lactose-containing products
Since each individual's tolerance to lactose varies, according to the US National Institute of Health, "Dietary control of lactose intolerance depends on people learning through trial and error how much lactose they can handle."[10]. Label reading is essential as commercial terminology varies according to language and region[28].
Lactose is present in 2 large food categories: Conventional dairy products, and as a food additive (in dairy and non dairy products).
[edit] Dairy products
Lactose is a water soluble molecule. In the curdling process lactose is found in the water portion along with whey and casein, but is not found in the fat portion. Therefore fat percentage and the curdling process have a certain impact on which foods may be tolerated. Conversely, low fat dairy foods often have various dairy derivatives such as milk solids added to them to enhance sweetness. Any dairy product which is "fat reduced" or "fat free" generally have a slightly higher lactose percentage.
Milk. Human milk has the highest lactose percentage at around 9%. Unprocessed cow milk has 4.7% lactose. Unprocessed milk from other mammals contains similar lactose percentages (goat milk 4.1%[34], buffalo 4.86%[35], yak 4.93%[36], sheep milk 4.6% [37]).
Butter. The butter making process by definition separates milk's water components from the fat components. Lactose, being a water soluble molecule, will not be present in the butter unless milk solids are added to the ingredients.
Yogurt and kefir. People can be more tolerant of traditionally made yogurt than milk because it contains some lactase produced by the bacterial cultures used to make the yogurt. However, many commercial brands contain additional milk solids (lactose). Read labels.
Cheeses. Traditionally made hard cheese (such as Swiss cheese) and soft ripened cheeses may create less reaction than the equivalent amount of milk because of the processes involved. Fermentation and fat content contribute to lesser amounts of lactose. Traditionally made Swiss or Cheddar might contain 10% of the lactose found in whole milk. In addition, the traditional aging methods of cheese (over 2 yrs) reduces their lactose content to practically nothing[11]. Commercial cheese brands are generally manufactured by modern processes that do not have the same lactose reducing properties. And "aged" cheeses are usually aged for very short periods, and usually no laws mandate what qualifies as an aged cheese. One must read labels carefully.
Buttermilk, sour cream and ice cream, like yogurt, if made the traditional way, will generally be quite tolerable, but most modern brands add milk solids. [38] Consult labels [39].
Examples of lactose levels in foods. As scientific consensus has not been reached concerning lactose percentage analysis methods [40] (non-hydrated form or the mono-hydrated form), and considering that dairy content varies greatly according to labeling practices, geography and manufacturing processes, lactose numbers may not be very reliable[citation needed]. The following are examples of lactose levels in foods which commonly set off symptoms [12]. These quantities are to be treated as guidelines only. Read the labels to be sure.
Dairy product Lactose Content
Yogurt, plain, low-fat, 240 mL 5 g
Milk, reduced fat, 240 mL 11 g
Swiss cheese, 28 g 1 g
Ice cream, 120 mL 6 g
Cottage cheese, 120 mL 2–3 g
[edit] Lactose in non dairy products
Lactose (also present when labels state whey, milk solids, modified milk ingredients, etc) as a commercial food additive is used for its texture, flavor and adhesive qualities, and is found in foods such as processed meats[41] (sausages/hot dogs, sliced meats, Pâtés), margarines[42], sliced breads[43][44], breakfast cereals[41], dried fruit, processed foods, medications, preprepared meals, meal replacement (powders and bars), protein supplements (powders and bars).
Kosher products labeled pareve are mostly free of milk, however if a "D" is present next to the circled K, the food contains milk solids[41].
[edit] Alternative products
Milk. The dairy industry has created quality low-lactose or lactose-free products to replace regular dairy. Lactose-free milk can be produced by passing milk over lactase enzyme bound to an inert carrier: once the molecule is cleaved, there are no lactose ill-effects. A form is available with reduced amounts of lactose (typically 30% of normal), and alternatively with almost 0%. Finland has had "HYLA" (acronym for hydrolysed lactose) products available for many years, even though the number of lactose intolerant people there is relatively small. These low-lactose level cow's milk products, ranging from ice cream to cheese, use a Valio patented chromatographic separation method to remove lactose. The ultra-pasteurization process, combined with aseptic packaging ensures a long shelf-life. Recently, the range of low-lactose products available in Finland has been augmented with milk and other dairy products (such as ice cream, butter, and buttermilk) that contain no lactose at all. The remaining about 20% of lactose in HYLA products is taken care of enzymatically. These typically cost 2 - 4 times more than equivalent products containing lactose. Valio also markets these products in Sweden.
Plant based milks and derivatives are the only ones to be 100% lactose free (soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, rice milk, Hemp milk, Peanut milk[45].
Alternatively, a bacterium such as L. acidophilus may be added, which affects the lactose in milk the same way it affects the lactose in yogurt (see above).
[edit] Lactase supplementation
When lactose avoidance is not possible, or on occasions when a person chooses to consume such items, then enzymatic lactase supplements may be used.[46][47]
Lactase enzymes similar to the those produced in the small intestines of humans are produced industrially by fungi of the genus aspergillus. The enzyme, β-galactosidase, is available in tablet form in a variety of doses, in many countries without a prescription. It functions
About moles on the skin ?
Hi if a mole on the skin go change colour too close to a fleshy colour what does this niggardly, its not on me, but is slightly voluminous and have be here for sometime it be a average brown colour but very soon its approaching some bits are still alike but most of it is flesh coloured. Thanks for your answers.Answers: Moles which are irregular surrounded by shape and asymetrical, greater than 6 mm surrounded by diameter and modification colour or bleed are the ones possible to be problematic.
If you are unsure jump to your GP who will refer you to a dermatologist.
Moles which are suspicious are effortlessly excised and don't usually result in excessive scare.
I've have 3 removed as a precaution and so far none of them hold be cancerous. The procedure is severely straight forward, usually take smaller quantity than 15 minutes and cause terribly little discomfort.
sorry to thoroughness you but any renovation can tight skin cancer bring back them to gey it chcked out better past the worst than sorry.
What is cardiac arrest/?
Answers: cardiac arrest is a condition within which the heart have stopped hammering altogether or is hitting so weakly or so irregularly that it cannot carry on proper blood circulation.
Cardiac arrest is the sudden, offhand loss of heart function. The object may or may not enjoy diagnosed heart disease. It's also call sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden extermination (also call sudden cardiac death) occur inside minutes after symptoms appear.
What cause cardiac arrest?
The most adjectives underlying use for patients to die suddenly from cardiac arrest is coronary heart disease. Most cardiac arrests that head to sudden disappearance come to pass when the electrical impulse contained by the diseased heart become swift (ventricular tachycardia) or topsy-turvy (ventricular fibrillation) or both. This irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) cause the heart to suddenly stop hitting. Some cardiac arrests are due to extreme slowing of the heart. This is call bradycardia.
Other factor besides heart disease and heart attack can end in cardiac arrest. They include respiratory arrest, electrocution, drowning, choking and trauma. Cardiac arrest can also go down in need any agreed grounds.
