Health - 4 February 2007

Is vanity in their present worth skin cancer in their future? I am on a mission to shut these dangerous devices down.

Here is an excerpt from an article published in Britain today:

The World Health Organization guidance said young people who get burnt from exposure to UV have a greater risk of skin cancer as adults.

Research has made a direct link between the use of sunbeds and cancer. There are 132,000 cases of the most dangerous form of skin cancer globally each year.

The WHO said it was issuing its warning now as many people began to think about developing a tan as summer approached.

The consequence of this sunbed usage has been a precipitous rise in the number of skin cancer cases.

Please, my dad has been unable to eat due to his severe digestive problems. He suffers from heartburn problems everyday. He has been in and out of the hospital for a year. Nothing has seemed to work. Please I am only 15 and could not do anymore than pray. He also suffers from Schleroderma, sleep apnia, and other heart and lung problems. He has an awful time trying to breathe too. I appreciate it. God bless you.

He said that its collecting fat instead of processing it and this is
why I have gained weight... I am now 164lbs and am 5'4".

Was diagnosed with FATTY LIVER and thickening Gallbladder.

Dr. is doing a blood test that is supposed to be equivalent to
a liver biopy tomorrow. He is looking for scarring in the liver
and he told me to go on a low carb diet... South Beach Diet..

like to try this... thanks

I consulted a psychiatrist in Govt. Institute of Mental Health, he said nothing to to worry as this is not a case of psychiatric problem. My urination is normal and I urinate after a normal urge to do so. There is no urinary infection or bladder problem, but don't understand why this happens, Can any one give a proper scientific answer to this problem. Please don't give imporper or dirty answers.

my boyfriend and I had a lot of sex yesterday with a condom every time. After a few times I began to hurt and it seemed like when ever he went in I would feel like I have to urinate. Also, sometimes it seemed like something was blocking him or in the way.

I checked myself out today and there is a small thinly-shaped piece of skin (i guess) that seems like it shoulden't be there. I'm trying to figure out where excactly it is. I tried to see if it would come out but it hurt to pull and felt weird. I wonder if the skin surrounding the urethra tore? (he is rather larger than I am --not to be gross) I was spotting begining the first through to today (today is seems stringy red/pink).

Should I go see my gyn?

I was admitted and signed for Pain Management and ER Protocols. The ER staff immediately put me on Morphine (high Dose) and never discussed surgery while I was coherent and capable of making an informed Medical decision. As a matter of fact I don't remember anything for a 17 day time span and there is no signed surgical consent on record. I am single and have no one else that would be allowed to make medical decisions for me. The injury itself is rare in nature and requires procedures and equipment that are not available to my local Hospital in rural West TN. From information obtained on the internet I suffered a level II trauma with brain involvement that was not revealed as the Drs. never looked for any other damage. The Neurologic injury has just been confirmed. Since the surgery was performed without my consent written or verbal does that constitute Malpractice? And who would be liable the Hospital or Private Practice Physician? I requested to be transferred to a trauma unit

What can a dental hygienist do other than clinical work? I have my bachelors of science. I don't see myself doing clinical work for very long. I am not located in a big metropolitan area either. Do other RDH's find that they do not enjoy clinical hygiene?
