In my highschool anatomy class today we tested our own urine and mine was all normal but i had lots of ketones. We learned that this can be caused by starvation, stress, and diabetes. So if ketones are caused by the burning of fats wrather than sugar for energy (im simplifying these terms) then wouldnt that mean that I am losing weight?? I do NOT have diabetes..im not really fat...and im not really overly stressed or anything...so wouldnt someone want ketones in their urine for the sake of losing weight if they know that they don't have other problems? I have been excersizing and watching what i eat lately.

I have had the most horrible cough and there is this little snorting sound when I breath in and breath out. This has ended, but I have a feeling that it may come back soon. I have been sitting near the humitifier and all... but should I maybe call the doctor if this gets any worse? Has this happened to you?

i have severe headaches behind my right eye. the only way to describe it, is as if someone is poking my brain with a blunt object, i have blurryness in my right eye and at times feel dizzy, sick and disorinted, i have seen a doctor who could'nt give a direct prognosis. today i have taken 4 paracetamol and 4 anadin extra and although the pain has got more mild it does'nt go away. this has been happening for a while and am open to any ideas. i'm 32 so i'm not really worried about demensia.

I feel like i have a fever, but I am not sure if it is my medication causing it. I have a digital themometer and i took my temp orally. It cam out with a 97.1. But when I took my temp rectally it cam out with 100.4. I am not sure which one to trust. I have used three different themometers and all the same readings. If anyone knows which is better to trust please let me know. I am not sure if i need to go to the docotr or not. Thanks

I just had my testicular torsion surgery about a day ago, the pain is still kind of there but i think its cause of the surgery and not because of the torsion. My question is, i play basketball and i was wondering how long it would take for me to be able to play basketball at my fullest potential again?

As a parent of one and family member to others on the autistic spectrum, I am concerned with the ethics of trying to develop such a test. Since the test was developed for Downs, 90% have been aborted. I am concerned that there are enough uninformed mothers who only know the stereotypes of autism and would choose to terminate their pregnancy because they would view that child as a tragedy.
Also, what message does that send the autistics that are here already? Is it right to tell them indirectly that they should be prevented from existing? How does that make us more human?
Wouldn't these resources be better spent developing better ways for autistics to live and have better access to services? Receiving the right kinds of services and supports can greatly increase the quality of life for all who need it.
It seems that in the name of progress, we have regressed 100 years to the (thankfully) short lived, shameful eugenics movement in America. Yes, we beat the Germans to it!
