Avatar f tn But regulators asked the company on Wednesday to suspend production to allow them to conduct an on-site investigation, because their inquiry “includes concerns for quality and safety across the corporate entity,” the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said. Paul Cirel, a lawyer representing Ameridose, declined to discuss the statements made by the former employees. “What some anonymous, maybe disgruntled, ex-employees say to you that is not said to us by the F.D.A.
Avatar m tn I am a chemist and work in a QC lab. I am 6 weeks pregnant and my work does not have a policy of moving me outside the lab while pregnant. I cannot leave work so I am forced to stay working in the lab. Some of the chemicals I work with are Chloroform, toluene, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide and others. I do not use these chemicals on a daily basis but maybe once a week or so and I work under the hood with protective gloves.

They are done for the express purpose of monitoring the effect the meds are having on your liver and your body. This way they can pick things up nice and early. I was on a trial for the first 8 weeks and we had safety bloods tests done every 3 days. After 4 weeks that went to weekly safety bloods.
Avatar f tn If so, please post FT3, FT4 and TSH along with their reference ranges which vary lab to lab so have to come from your own lab report. It sounds like your meds are not adjusted properly. Remember, FT4 often has to be midrange and FT3 upper half to third of range before hypothyroidism is properly controlled so that we're symptom free. However, if FT3 and/or FT4 are too high, you can become hyper. If you post those, we might be able to guide you in an appropriate direction.
696569 tn?1276535119 I would like to know what health risks are associated with tattooing, and more importantly, how I can protect myself against them. What should I look for in a good tattoo parlor?
Avatar f tn Let me clarify. I am a nurse who works at said hospital and I was in employee health. The sharp boxes there have a two inch pocket to put sharps in (and they usually have blood on them) before flapping the lever so that it falls into the rest of the sharps container. And the nurse put the whole front half of their hand in that part of the sharps container. That's why I'm anxious.
Avatar m tn I was just curious if it was possible that I can become infected with hep c through this situation. I work at a lab were we process all types of blood work and other specimen and often we poor off serum, never whole blood. One day in particular I had accidentally touched my badge with my glove and had forgotten to clean it when I took it home. 14 hours later I had gotten some food and happened to touch my badge prior to eating. I didn't remember seeing any specimen on my gloves nor my badge.
Avatar f tn 1056/NEJMp0904768 Before 1994, herbal products were considered food additives, and their manufacturers were required to show proof of safety before marketing them. Since the passage of the DSHEA, dietary supplements are presumed to be safe and can be marketed with very little oversight. The DSHEA presents serious obstacles to the FDA’s ability to detect and eliminate contaminated supplements.

Avatar f tn My 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADD over a year ago, and prescribed Concerta. His mother and I are divorced. I learned that she is giving him Melatonin at night to 'help him sleep'. This was not prescribed by the pediatrician; it is over-the-counter. I do not give him any sleep aids when he is with me. He has no sleep issues in my home. He falls asleep within 15 minutes of being put to bed.
Avatar f tn They have those policies for a reason it's for your safety and your babies safety...
Avatar f tn Please post reference ranges along with any test results, as ranges vary from lab to lab and must come from your own report.
Avatar f tn Lab results and reference ranges vary among labs so it's important that we also take a look at the reference ranges used by your lab for the FT3 and FT4 results.
Avatar m tn Exposure to air renders the virus inactive, but ALWAYS wear full protective clothing regardless of what other's in the lab do. Safety for yourself should come first and it's far better to be safe than sorry.

Avatar m tn Actually, we have asked. Our department supervisor said that the virus in the small specimen would die within 15 minutes after leaving living human body. Formalin fixation would also kill the virus. However, we cannot find related data about viral infectivity in this kind of specimen.
Avatar f tn 30 and come and lay down on the little sofa. Immediately he'll lie down and go to sleep. If I get up and go to bed, we start all over again. If I put him on the deck, he barks and we're in a neighborhood / county with a noise ordinance so that can't be allowed. He's not hungry. I make sure he's gone to the bathroom before we go to bed at night. He has an orthopedic bed and the love seat to sleep on.
