Pernicious Anemia What is pernicious anemia? Pernicious anemia is a condition in which the body produces insufficient numbers of red blood cells because the intestines cannot absorb vitamin B12 properly. Vitamin B12 is essential for the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. This disorder occurs due to low levels of a protein called intrinsic factor, which is released by stomach cells and is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestines. The inability to produce intrinsic factor may be inherited or may arise from an autoimmune process, in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues, in this case, the lining of the stomach. Pernicious anemia leads to reduced levels of oxygen in the body, which can produce generalized symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Treatment for pernicious anemia includes vitamin B12 supplementation, which is administered through injection. What are the symptoms of pernicious anemia? What causes pernicious anemia?
Technology Review: Emerging Technologies and their Impact Ageless Woman? WPTV 5 News Annette Larkins shows off her garden in her Miami-Dade County backyard. It's full of fruits and vegetables. Every corner of her garden has something that is edible. She also collects rainwater to drink and water her plants. Annette says the food in her garden is her 'Fountain of Youth.' "I am very vibrant, I have lots of energy, as I told you before, I am up no later than 5:30 in the morning as a rule, and I am ready to go," she said. Annette's husband owned a meat store in the 1960s. Annette says she does not eat animal products-- her food is unprocessed and uncooked. Annette also juices fruits and veggies. Annette's husband Amos of almost 54 years chose to continue to eat the way he did when they were first married. Amos says people even wonder if Annette is his wife. Amos takes prescription medicines daily for high blood pressure and diabetes. "The Discovery Channel, they took sections of the booklet and translated them into Spanish which is, by the way, my second language."

NursingA2Z.com, Nursefriendly Nursing & Healthcare Directories Breath-holding and its breakpoint -- Parkes 91 (1): 1 -- Experimental Physiology Introduction The precise mechanisms explaining breath-holding and causing the breath at breakpoint are unknown. There are several useful reviews (Mithoefer, 1965; Godfrey & Campbell, 1968, 1969; Porter, 1970; Campbell & Guz, 1981; Lin, 1982; Nunn, 1987). Breath-holding is an unstable state with changes occurring in many interrelated variables. Although for clarity it is simplest to consider each important variable separately, the variables may well interact in ways that we cannot yet investigate by experiment. This review will be restricted to experiments on humans while voluntarily breath-holding out of water. There are many gaps in our understanding of breath-holding that raise difficulties in explaining the breakpoint. The first difficulty is in how to best quantify breath-holding when the underlying control mechanisms are not known. The second difficulty is that even under similar experimental conditions, breath-holds produce discomfort which is not equally tolerated by all subjects.

Spice House Logical Fallacies and How to Spot Them Logical Fallacies and How to Spot Them In the Evolution vs. Creationism debate, it is important to be able to spot all the logical fallacies that Creationists tend to throw around. THE STRAWMAN ATTACK: The strawman is, perhaps, the most heavily-employed tactic used by Creationists. "Evolution is a ridiculous theory! This is an example of a strawman attack. Spotting a strawman attack isn't that hard. Strawman attacks, once exposed for what they are, are not all that difficult to counter. THE FALSE DILEMMA FALLACY: The false dilemma is at the heart of the Creationist argument. "There are only two solutions for the question of how the Universe was created: the Big Bang, which says that the Universe was formed out of nothing from random chance, or Biblical Creation, which gives us a loving, awesome, caring God who wants us to... Obviously, Creationists love the false dilemma because it makes any hole they find in Evolutionary Theory an automatic proof of Biblical Creation. No logic.
