Things Adult Medicine Could Learn From Pediatrics Polly Becker Twenty-eight years ago, I wrote about drawing blood for the first time, about the pain of the patient and the self-doubt of the medical student. In my first clinical experience, I was learning a strange new color code: red-top tube for blood chemistries, purple top for hematology, green top, yellow top, and so on. In pediatrics, I soon discovered, the colors were the same but the tubes themselves were much smaller. I thought: If you can get enough blood through a small butterfly needle filling a small tube to do the necessary tests, why must we jab big needles into adults and fill comparatively huge tubes to do the same assessments? It wasn’t the last time I wondered why children were treated with more concern than adults. Dr. His own hospital, like many other institutions, is now using smaller tubes, he said — not the tiniest tubes, which require special handling, but a smaller size that can still be handled routinely by the lab.

Can Vitamin C Cure Ebola? Steve Hickey, Hilary Roberts & Damien Downing, GreenMedInfoWaking Times If there were a drug that worked on Ebola you should use it. There isn’t. There is only vitamin C. Taking a gram or so of day of vitamin C won’t protect you against anything except acute scurvy; it doesn’t matter whether the vitamin is liposomal, nanoparticles, or even gold-plated. At risk or worried about Ebola? Vitamin C Vitamin C is the primary antioxidant in the diet. The intake for an otherwise healthy person to have a reasonable chance of avoiding a common cold is in the region of 8-10 grams (8,000-10,000 mg) a day. Dynamic Flow The problem with oral intakes is that healthy people do not absorb vitamin C well due to something Dr Robert Cathcart called bowel tolerance. High dose vitamin C has a short half-life in the body. The aim is to achieve dynamic flow, to get vitamin C flowing continuously through the body. The effectiveness of vitamin C is not directly proportional to the dose; it is non-linear. Liposomes
Brandon Wade: The 5 Things Successful Men Notice First in a Woman To understand what successful men look for in a woman, we have to look into how roles and responsibilities have shifted over the past few years. Success noun \sək-ˈses\: the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence. The women of our generation have become far more independent than their predecessors. The female workforce has greatly evolved, achieving places of power and success. Looking out onto Main Street, one can behold twenty-first century Rosie the Riveters exiting town cars into granite and glassbuildings in Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutins. When exploring the developments of modern-day woman, you have to look into her counterpart: man. My website, SeekingArrangement.com, is the largest website where generous men can meet attractive women. Almost all of these qualities were the same as what they notice in job seekers. The fifth most important quality successful men noticed in women was their hair. A sense of self was the fourth on the list.

Tight Ties, Killer Heels: Clothes Make the Fashion Victims Contrary To What We’re Told ALS Does Have Known Causes & Treatments – Here They Are The Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Ice Bucket challenge is continuing to explode across the worldwide web, and it’s a great opportunity to capitalize on spreading more awareness on how we can implement disease prevention and let people know that there are treatments and potential cures out there that do exist. Don’t get me wrong, between June 1 and August 13, there were over a million videos posted on Facebook and millions of mentions on Twitter. This campaign has led unprecedented attention to the fight against ALS, and it should indeed be applauded as many people’s hearts are in the right place. What is ALS? ALS is often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” it’s a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Possible Causes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis I find it remarkable how this information is not made available on the ALS Association website, especially at a time when everybody is doing the ice bucket challenge.

10 Types of Women Men Like the Most Men feel attracted to certain types of women and reject others. It’s in their nature to do so. While there might be exceptions, as in any situation, here are the kinds of women that men usually like: 1. The childish woman There are some men that like childish women. 2. I think all men like a bit of mystery in a woman. 3. Tell me a man who would not be interested in such a woman…It’s their basic instincts working. 4.

Warm Up Your Voice Listener and blogger Scott from acoupleofquitters.com asked: How do you warm up your voice before speaking? Scott, as you know I use my voice for a living, so I probably do more things than the average bear to warm up and protect my voice. I feel strongly about the importance of keeping my voice healthy and strong. But I didn’t always feel this way. I used to say, “I don’t need to do anything special; I can just talk right?” That’s why most actors, singers, and speakers take extra precautions. So, today, I'll share with you some of the exercises that I do to warm up my voice just before a speaking gig, and also what I do for general preventative maintenance. Just Before A Speech or Podcast First, for every event I request a wireless microphone, even in small rooms. Next, the day before an event I try to rest my voice as much as possible by not talking. In general, the idea is to relax the daily tension that we hold in our neck, face, and mouth. Next, I usually say a few tongue twisters.
