Avatar n tn I do construction and currently 10 weeks and have done it since day 1. My question is, is it ok to be doing the heavy lifting, going up and down ladders all day. Power tools and all... ??
Avatar f tn However, my 23 year old son has experienced 5 seizures in the past year and with each one of them he was exposed to a lot of construction dust. He suddenly had his first seizure 1 year ago when we started a major remodel in our home. I feel strongly that there is some connection to him developing seizures and our remodel, whether it be an allergy or exposure to some toxin. Do you have any documentation linking allergies with seizures?
Avatar n tn Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex. I would not worry about HIV from the exposure you describe. So, what about other STDs. Again unlikely. Facts behind my reasoning are: 1. Again the "efficiency" of STD transmission through oral sex is low. 2. Most oral STDs are asymptomatic, making your sore throat and swollen nodes unlikely to be due to an STD. 3. The timing is wrong.
148588 tn?1465778809 economy, creating 20,000 direct construction and manufac-turing jobs and 119,000 indirect jobs. Cornell Global Labor Institute’s (GLI) analysis of the project has found that these numbers are unsubstantiated, and that the project will produce far fewer jobs than they claim. In fact, the construction of KXL may destroy more jobs than it creates." "KXL’s U.S. Project Budget is $3.3 billion, NOT $7 billion: TransCanada claims that KXL is a $7 billion project.
Avatar n tn Pus means there is an infection, and at this point I would see your doctor. You may have something embedded in your knee that you know nothing about, and until that is removed it will stay infected. A friend of mine woke up with extreme pain on one side of his stomach and when he went to the hospital they found a piece of metal embedded in his stomach. He was in construction years prior to this and still doesn't recall any incident where this could have happened.
Avatar f tn I dont know :( I just assume of its being sold on the market its passed u.s. safety regulations:/ especially items/models that have been around for a while. Now, that doesnt mean it has the highest safety rating or anything. Sorry I couldn't help. Ask your dr for some literature on it maybe?
Avatar m tn Anyone experiencing internal tremors or vibration or Hypersensitive hearing. The fridge seem louder or construction work seems closer and louder. If so have you found a solution.
190885 tn?1333025891 i know this is tough to answer cause everyone is different while tx but are some of you folks in construction...doing high work with power tools..building houses?? ...thanks....
Avatar m tn With regards to asbestos exposure, he should discuss the situation with other employees, his employee health and safety representative, and his employers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can provide more information or make an inspection. This link may be helpful: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/asbestos Take care and best regards.
Avatar n tn Okay so my boyfriend is in school right now for construction and said he wants to build her crib himself... I really dont know what to think of it. I trust him i know that he could do it but idk if that would exactly be the best option.. What do you ladies think? Would you let him do it or go out and just buy one from the store?
Avatar f tn Although there are testimonials scattered throughout the internet that swear up and down that this treatment works, I could not find any research studies done to look at its safety and efficacy in the medical literature. When patients ask us about alternative therapies, we always look at the potential side effects that could be harmful.
152660 tn?1291755571 Hi All! We are getting ready to begin finishing my parent's basement into an apartment for myself. We will be doing most of the work ourselves mainly during weekends and will have someone coming in to work on the floor who will be using jackhammers for probably 2 days then put in two egress windows. We will have a plumber and electrician come in to work too. We will probably have people in for 6-7 days at once and then plumber and electrician do more later.
Avatar f tn The involuntary side effect is called tardive dyskinesia, and there are a variety of presentations. The literature says once it develops it does not go away, however the literature is wrong. If it is a side effect and the medicines are discontinued, the syndrome often disappears.
Avatar m tn Using the PubMed database, a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature published between January 2000 and September 2009 was undertaken to identify studies related to the treatment of patients with PSROC with PLD-Carbo or Gem-Carbo. Studies reporting either response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and/or overall survival (OS) were included. Treatment regimens, efficacy endpoints, and safety profiles were compared between the two combination therapies.
Avatar m tn As many of you know HCV is icosahedral in shape. Understanding the properties of viral construction is very important and may end up one day breaking the "code" necessary in order to develop 100% cure rates. Biology, physics, math, and chemistry are all integral sciences in understanding the HCV virus, its structure, what holds it together, and most important of all, how can it be taken apart ?
1301089 tn?1290666571 Isn't this nice! We're giving those dear little drug smugglers and murderers their own park. Never mind it's American National Parkland. Funded and paid for with American tax money. I guess actually guarding it with armed Guardsmen might insult someone.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the question. In general, the literature is very favorable regarding the Gardasil vaccine. Please speak to your doctor about it. They should also provide a fact sheet of potential side effects. You will likely need three doses of it since you are older. https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine.html The CDC recommends the vaccine for young adults. And the side effects are mild if you experience them at all. Again, side effects are very mild for the majority.
Avatar f tn I had a friend who dressed as a construction worker ( hard hat, neon safety vest) and she painted a stop sign on her tummy that said "caution BUMP" I thought it was super cute.
Avatar f tn If you're moving to a newly built house, say goodbye to mail delivery at your door. And if some House Republicans get their way, all door-to-door mail delivery will go away. The U.S. Postal Service is marching towards a more "centralized delivery," where residents pick up their own mail from clusters of mail boxes located in their neighborhood.
Avatar m tn I’m concerned about exposure to construction dust leading to silicosis. I work in a theater that’s been under construction for a few months. They are installing new stadiums and seats. I know they are drilling/jackhammering concrete, mixing concrete and other general construction tasks like that. I try to be careful to avoid the areas where the construction is heaviest but some times my tasks force me to move through them.
Avatar f tn This machine features a motor with a 2.75 hp rating. The two floor-levelers provide some amount of leveling adjustment. Performance on our durability test - simulating a half-year of usage - was fair, showing noticeable signs of wear. Safety: The "stop" button size was considered excellent. The magnetic style safety-key disengaged without issue when a user drifted toward the end of the running belt, which stopped the motor and running belt as expected.
Avatar n tn i cannot comment on the plastics being harmful. i have read no such literature. what i can tell you is that missing teeth these days are for the most part best and most permanently replaced using implants. these bonded bridges, in my proffessional opinion, do not last, and are weak. i'd see an implant dentist for a consult.
Avatar m tn Some bacteria change calcium sulfate, the major component of wallboard, into hydrogen sulfide. If construction and demolition debris contain large quantities of wallboard, large amounts of hydrogen sulfide can be formed. Production is greatest when the wallboard is finely crushed and when there is little oxygen, such as when the debris is buried and soaked with water.
