I am in the army and every day we do heavy physical activity and sometimes my knees hurt. Will 1500mg of glucosamine once every 2-3 days help?

And will supplements like glucosamine, fish oil and vitamin supplements cause kidney stones? (i take all of these and worry about over medicating myself).

Thanks!

Is it something about the chemical make-up of baking soda that causes it to stop itch? Though I know it's also recommended to stop mild itch from dry skin because it's a mild abrasive, I don't see how "drying up" a bug bite would cause it to stop itching.

Anyways, just courious what you would think....Is it relativly safe to have a few beers a few hours before I take my bedtime 250mg depakote?

Hi,

There are many situation in which one may want to use MRI to determine cerebral blood flow. I want to compare groups or the effect of medicaiton. But how can I best do this using DSCE-MRI?

For example Rempp et. al. fits both the arterial input function (bolus) and the tissue curve (bolus)with a gamma variate. Then using fourier-deconvolution he finds the 'actual' tissue concentration curve.

But for me none of this is working. For example I have a Echo Planer Imaging scan at a temperal resolution of 1.5 seconds. If I just manually locate the arterial curve in the area of the circle of willis - and then the second curve in the (periventricular ) white matter I don't get nice curves - and they most definitely don't give great deconvolutions. The tissue curves are way lower than the artery curves. And the artery bolus-curve seems wider then the tissue bolus.

I don't know what to do. Is it an image acquisition problem- Do I need to use filtering?

HELP!

I have a neice who was badly crushed by being "T-boned" in an intersection in an automobile. She has been in a medically induced coma, on life support, not even breathing on her own for over two weeks. My question is, why keep her in an unnatural coma awaiting surgery on her pelvis for so long? It would seem her natural body processes of recovery would best function for her if she was allowed to return to consciousness. She has never returned to consciousness after the accident and I don;t think they really know if she can.
