i have most of the symptoms for sleep apnea in adults. but almost none of the ones for children. im 13.?

14 on march the second if that helps..?

As I understand, deep-sleep apnea is typically associated with obesity and becomes acute during early or late middle age. Onset may be earlier, if the patient had gained too much weight too early.

What really happens is that brain of a complex organism needs rest. Its part that control and regulate vital functions never take a rest. Relatively less important functions are suspended for a while. One of these functions is muscle control. That’s why muscles go limp during deep sleep, including epiglottis that, when active, regulates what should go to the alimentary canal and what is meant to go into trachea.

Muscles that have collected too much flab or overgrown get sucked into trachea, temporarily blocking passage of air to the lungs, thereby waking up the parts of brain to send distressed commands to the unruly muscles. People suffering from deep-sleep apnea risk death due to asphyxiation during sleep.

At your age it is rather unheard of. By the way, you have not given your weight and BMI. Mild snoring may be normal or maybe precurssor of deep-sleep apnea

Please consult a good physicion.

Symptoms of Withdrawal $24.05 In this graceful memoir, the now-grown son of actor Peter Lawford and Pat Kennedy Lawford looks back on his life with sober eyes, recalling his childhood experiences among the rich and famous and his own long battle with alcohol and drugs. Christopher Kennedy Lawford shares anecdotes about his wonder years growing up in a Kennedy family circle headed by Uncles Jack and Bobby–a time of Camelot that was soon to be forever changed by the tragic events that made people talk of a "Kennedy curse." Lawford writes eloquently about the effect of the two assassinations on the family, and the sadness, fear, and depression that affected many of its members for years afterwards. The young Chris also traveled in the showbiz world of his Rat Pack father, and he relates many stories about the likes of Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe. Lawford does not gloss over the very dark side of his life and his struggle to find his own place among the famous clan. But he also notes that his recovery from addiction has changed his outlook, providing him with the sense of balance and perspective that makes SYMPTOMS OF WITHDRAWAL a memoir of experience, strength, and hope.

How accurate are digital thermometers compared to Glass Basel ones?

My wife is monitoring her body temp, and her Basel Thermometer broke, so no she is using a digital one. What is the diffrence between them, and wich is more accurate.
Her basell is giving her Higher temp readings the the digital fever thermomiter

I don’t like the glass ones, not simply because of the potential health hazard but because you have to remember to shake them down the previous night or you’ll mess up your morning readings!

Personally, I’ve been using a normal digital thermometer for 18 cycles and have had no problems seeing a distinct thermal shift. You can get digital basal ones too, which give you accuracy to a 100th of a degree, but if she’s charting at fertilityfriend.com that won’t help her anyway because they only measure in 10ths of a degree … which is what the normal digital thermometer is already giving her.

I reckon it’s fine to just stick with that, but if you decide to change, don’t switch mid-cycle or it could skew your results.

Maverick OT-3BBQ Digital Thermometer $68.71 This new thermometer is a must for the gas grill. The Maverick DIGITAL BARBEQUE THERMOMETER lets you know the constant average temperature inside your barbeque throughout the cooking process. Whats more, it recalculates this average every 10 seconds, and compares it to the temperature target you have preset. It then alerts you if the temperature swings more than 15F (9C) above or below your target temperature. It updates this average every 10 seconds.The DIGITAL BARBEQUE THERMOMETER measures the temperature by using a probe sensor with grill rack clip, and an insulated metal wire that passes between the grill hood back to the unit. Grill knobs or air vents dont have very accurate temperature settings and when you open and close the hood the temperatures can vary up to 100 F (55C) from the temperature you think you set on the dial. Some grill hoods have anolog thermometers but they are not at the grill surface, and they are not as accurate as digital. If you dont know your temperature, barbeque results can be poor.

Legalized hard drugs?

On a practical level, how would, for example, cocaine be distributed? I don’t see how decriminalization would stop abuse of a highly addictive substance. Opiates are legal for medical use, yet they are sold on the street and people get addicted to them. Not talking about pot here, but things like heroin, coke and meth. What are the best decriminalization ideas?

There is no solution. People will become addicted to substances, legal or illegal. Look at the prescription drugs that people are addicted to and will buy them or steal them if they are unable to obtain a prescription. It would be the same way with cocaine, heroin and meth even if they were legalized and prescribed by a doctor.

Frequently left undiscussed by a group that often sees itself targeted, METH brings the issue into the light as both former and current addicts share their harrowing stories.

Eventually, following several tragic experiences, he was forced to recognize the negative effects of the drug. This unique selection, edited and translated by Freud expert David Carter, combines letters, papers, and dream analyses on cocaine, bringing together the contentious thoughts of one of the 20th-century’s most brilliant minds.

Test review help please?????

Blood pressure is measured in mm Hg (see textbook for conversion factor to Pascals). Two blood pressure values are given: systolic (peak pressure during a heart beat) and diastolic (pressure between beats). A typical blood pressure is 120/80 — that is 120 mm Hg systolic and 80 mm Hg diastolic. This a gauge pressure.
(a) If you measure your blood pressure and get 102/78, what are these pressures in Pa?
Systolic:
Diastolic:
(b) You are supposed to take your pressure with the cuff at the same height as your heart. How much (in mm Hg) lower is the blood pressure at the top of your head than at the level of your heart? (Use a height difference of 0.48 meters. Also, the density of blood is approximately 1050 kg/m3.)

This is very simple. Your blood pressure is in mmHg.
Systolic: (102mmHg x 101300Pa)/760mmHg =13595.53Pa
Diastolic: (78mmHg x 101300Pa)/760mmHg=10396.58

Diabetes – “silent Killer”

Type 1 diabetes mellitus – diabetes, for short. This chemical disorder disrupts the body’s ability to utilize certain nutrients, primarily a blood sugar called glucose.

Treatment for diabetes is made more difficult because a person can have the disease a long time before it is diagnosed. “Because the early symptoms are relatively mild,” notes Asiaweek magazine, “diabetes often goes unrecognized.” Hence, diabetes has been dubbed the silent killer.

Why Serious

Diabetes has been called “a disorder of the very engine of life,” and for good reason. When the body cannot metabolize glucose, a number of vital mechanisms can break down, sometimes with life-threatening consequences. “People don’t die directly from diabetes,” says Dr. Harvey Katzeff, “they die from complications. We do a good job of preventing complications, but a poor job of treating [them] once they occur.”

Diet and Exercise

Although Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, scientists are studying the genetic risk factors and are trying to find ways to suppress an immune attack. “With type 2, the picture is much brighter,” says the book Diabetes – Caring for Your Emotions as Well as Your Health. “Many of those who might be genetically susceptible avoid showing any sign of this disease simply by eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly, thereby staying physically fit and keeping their weight within normal limits.”

Underscoring the value of exercise, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on a large study involving women. The study found that “a single bout of physical activity increases insulin-mediated glucose uptake [by the body's cells] for more than 24 hours.” Hence, the report concludes that “both walking and vigorous activity are associated with substantial reductions in risk of type 2 diabetes in women.” The researchers recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most if not all days of the week. This can include something as simple as walking, which, says the American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes, “is probably the best, safest, and least expensive form of exercise.”

However, exercise by people with diabetes should be professionally supervised. One reason is that diabetes can damage the vascular system and nerves, thus affecting blood circulation and feeling. Hence, a simple scratch on the foot may go unnoticed, get infected, and turn into an ulcer – a serious condition that may lead to amputation if not treated immediately.

Insulin Therapy

Many with diabetes must supplement their diet and exercise program with daily testing of glucose levels along with multiple insulin injections. As a result of improved health through diet and a good routine of exercise, some with Type 2 diabetes have been able, at least for a time, to discontinue insulin therapy. Karen, who has Type 1 diabetes, found that exercise increases the efficiency of the insulin she injects. As a result, she has been able to cut her daily insulin requirements by 20 percent.

If insulin is needed, however, there is no reason for the sufferer to feel discouraged. “Going on insulin does not imply failure on your part,” says Mary Ann, a registered nurse who cares for a number of diabetes patients. “Whatever form of diabetes you have, if you carefully control your blood sugar, you will minimize other health problems later.” In fact, a recent study revealed that people with Type 1 who kept strict control of their blood-sugar levels “had drastic reductions in the occurrence of diabetic eye, kidney, and nerve diseases.” The risk of eye disease (retinopathy), for instance, was cut by 76 percent! Those with Type 2 who keep tight control of their blood-sugar levels enjoy similar benefits.

To make insulin therapy easier and less traumatic, syringes and insulin pens – the most common tools used – have microfine needles that give minimal discomfort. “The first shot is usually the worst,” says Mary Ann. “After that, most patients say they hardly feel a thing.” Other methods of injection include automatic injectors that shoot a needle into the skin painlessly, jet injectors that literally fire insulin through the skin by means of a fine jet blast, and infusers that employ a catheter that stays in place for two or three days. About the size of a pocket pager, the insulin pump has gained popularity in recent years. This programmable device dispenses insulin through a catheter at a steady rate according to the body’s daily needs, making insulin administration more precise and convenient.

Keep Learning

All told, there is no blanket therapy for diabetes. When considering treatment, each individual must take into account a number of factors in order to make a personal decision. “Even though you may be under the care of a medical team,” says Mary Ann, “you are in the driver’s seat.” In fact, the journal Diabetes Care states: “Medical treatment of diabetes without systematic self-management education can be regarded as substandard and unethical care.”

The more those with diabetes learn about their disease, the better equipped they will be to manage their health and increase their prospects of living a longer, healthier life.

The Role of Glucose

Glucose fuels the body’s trillions of cells. To enter the cells, however, it needs a “key” – insulin, a chemical released by the pancreas. With Type 1 diabetes, insulin is simply not available. With Type 2, the body makes insulin but usually not enough. Moreover, the cells are reluctant to let insulin in – a condition called insulin resistance. With both forms of diabetes, the result is the same: hungry cells and dangerous levels of sugar in the blood.

In Type 1 diabetes, a person’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Hence, Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and is sometimes called immune-mediated diabetes. Factors that can trigger an immune reaction include viruses, toxic chemicals, and certain drugs. Genetic makeup may also be implicated, for Type 1 diabetes often runs in families, and it is most common among Caucasians.

With Type 2 diabetes, the genetic factor is even stronger but with a greater occurrence among non-Caucasians. Australian Aborigines and Native Americans are among the most affected, the latter having the highest rate of Type 2 diabetes in the world. Researchers are studying the relationship between genetics and obesity, as well as the way excess fat seems to promote insulin resistance in genetically susceptible people. Unlike Type 1, Type 2 diabetes occurs mainly in those who are over 40 years of age.

About 90 percent of those with diabetes have Type 2. Previously, this was referred to as “non-insulin dependent” or “adult onset” diabetes. However, these terms are imprecise, for up to 40 percent of those with Type 2 diabetes require insulin. Furthermore, an alarming number of young people – some not even in their teens – are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

The Role of the Pancreas

About the size of a banana, the pancreas lies just behind the stomach. According to the book The Unofficial Guide to Living With Diabetes, “the healthy pancreas performs a continuous and exquisite balancing act, managing to sustain smooth, stable blood-sugar levels by releasing just the right amount of insulin as glucose levels wax and wane throughout the day.” Beta cells within the pancreas are the source of the hormone insulin.

When beta cells fail to produce enough insulin, glucose builds up in the blood, causing hyperglycemia. The opposite – low blood sugar – is called hypoglycemia. In concert with the pancreas, the liver helps manage blood-sugar levels by storing excess glucose in a form called glycogen. When commanded by the pancreas, the liver converts glycogen back into glucose for use by the body

The Role of Sugar

It is a common misconception that eating a lot of sugar causes diabetes. Medical evidence shows that getting fat – regardless of sugar intake – increases the risk among genetically susceptible individuals. Still, eating too much sugar is unhealthy, since it provides poor nutrition and contributes to obesity.

Another misconception is that people with diabetes have an abnormal craving for sugar. In reality, though, they have the same desire for sweets as most others. When it is not controlled, diabetes can lead to hunger – but not necessarily for sugar. People with diabetes can eat sweets, but they must factor their sugar intake into their overall diet plan.

Just how bad is diet coke for us?

I drink diet coke, always have since being younger, but I’ve always been told how bad it is for me and that I should drink water, which of course I understand and I do try. My question is I have two young children, aged 2 and 4, and my youngest is obsessed with my ‘pop’ lol. Obviously she doesn’t get it on any large scale, she probably has about two sips a week, but just how bad is it for her? She has the odd fruit shoot and has juice with sweeteners, as she can’t have too much sugar as they both have a 75% chance of becoming diabetic as both myself and my husband are, so even though I know sweeteners are bad for you we have no choice really unless all they ever drink is water, which is a bit mean for a child! Both my girls have water through the day and only have juice with lunch and tea, so I’m fairly strict really. So is the odd sip of diet coke going to do her any harm? Today I put about 1 inch of it in a plastic cup and she was so happy, it’s frightening!

It’s bad for your teeth and health. It will decay your teeth and it will cause you to gain more weight than you would have normally drinking water.
When I was younger I had lost a tooth around 7 years old and I put it in my mother’s coke can and let it sit for 24 hours. When I returned, I poured the tooth out but as soon as my finger touched it, it withered away.

I’ve seen what Coke does to cement. I’m not about to drink it anytime soon

will walking before a blood test change the results?

I need to have a fasting blood test for diabetes in the morning but i need to walk to the place (about 30mins)
Will walking change the results?

Yes. You can bet your Bippy. The walk may lower your glucose level maybe 20 to 40 points.

I know a fellow whose fasting readings had been in normal range blood sugar levels for quite some time found his morning levels to suddenly be out of target. We wondered if the exhaustion of the pancreas was finally progressing (as is its nature). However, we learned that he had stopped doing his 10-minute stroll with the dog in the evening. We doubted that 10 minutes would make such a difference to the morning blood test but he was game to resume them and see. His great results surprised even us! We never thought the answer to “How to lower fasting blood sugars” would be a simple 10-minute evening walk! Yup – everyone is different and you don’t know what works until you try it.

The Transformational Power of Fasting (Paperback) $24.22 Fasting practices to reconnect with the sacred, regain a sense of your life’s purpose, and heal physically and emotionally • Details what to expect during your fast physically, emotionally, and spiritually • Provides step-by-step guidelines on preparing for the fast, how long you should fast, what you can and can’t do during the fast, and how to end your fast • Explains how fasting can help or heal many chronic conditions, such as type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, psoriasis, and insomnia For millennia humans have fasted for spiritual, emotional, and physical reasons–as a way to heal their bodies, reconnect to the sacred, regain a sense of life’s purpose, and allow their souls to detoxify. We are evolutionarily designed to fast, and the body knows how to do it very well. Fasting allows the body and all its systems to rest, purify, and heal. During a fast, the body enters the same cleansing and healing cycle it normally enters during sleep. As a fast progresses, the body consumes everything that is not essential to bodily functioning–including bacteria, viruses, fibroid tumors, waste products in the blood, buildup around the joints, and stored fat–and the mind and heart release their toxic buildup as well. As Stephen Harrod Buhner reveals, in order to be truly transformed, you must first empty yourself. Offering step-by-step guidelines to fully prepare yourself for a deep fast, Buhner explores what to expect during and after spiritual, emotional, and physical fasting and detoxification. He details the necessary dietary and mental preparations leading up to your fast, what you can and can’t do during a fast, and how to end your fast. He also explains how to plan the length of your fast and how to choose between a water fast, a juice fast, or a mono-diet fast.

There Is a Cure for Diabetes $27.91 Diabetes has become a seemingly unstoppable national epidemic, affecting more than twenty million Americans. Conventional wisdom calls it incurable, but renowned Dr. Gabriel Cousens counters that claim with this breakthrough book. There Is a Cure for Diabetes lays out a three-week plan for reversing the negative genetic expression of diabetes to a physiology of health and well-being. Dr. Cousens`s method, widely tested at his famous Tree of Life centers, is to reset the DNA through green juice fasting and a 100% organic, nutrient-dense, vegan, low-glycemic, low-insulin-scoring, and high-mineral diet of living foods in the first twenty-one days. Both practical and inspirational, the book explains how to abandon the widespread "culture of death"-symbolized by addictive junk food-that fosters diabetes in favor of a more natural, nurturing approach. The program renders insulin and related medicines unnecessary within four days as the blood sugar drops to normal levels; and the diabetic shifts into a non-diabetic physiology within two weeks. The third week focuses on live-food preparation, featuring 100 delicious raw recipes. Dr. Cousens emphasizes regular consultations, monitoring blood chemistries, and emotional support, and includes a one-year support program to help maintain a diabetes-free life.

These machines are notorious for giving inaccurate blood pressure readings. And, if you were not sitting quietly for at least 10 minutes before letting the machine take your blood pressure, this number means nothing because it was not an “at rest” blood pressure reading. You could have a mild virus of some sort and dramatically increasing your daily water intake will help with the dizziness. What you should do is find someone with a real blood pressure cuff (such as the school nurse), sit quietly for at least 10 minutes and then have her take your blood pressure. You need to do this at the same time for a couple of weeks. If your blood pressure then is running high, it would be time to talk with your doctor about diet, weight loss and exercise to get your blood pressure back down.
