Avatar m tn i have read an article stating how some people may have been exposed to the hiv virus (and hepatitis) because the hospital didnt use the proper sterilization on colonoscopy equipment. and another similar article that stated those that underwent ear, nose, and throat treatments were exposed too. how likely is someone to catch the hiv virus from a situation like this?
Avatar m tn The article you reference makes no mention of HIV - that is because HIV cannot be transmitted that way. If you have other questions about the safety of using dental equipment, we suggest visiting the Dental Health forum, as this forum is HIV specific.
Avatar m tn Tattoo artists/piercers are trained on safety measures regarding bloodborne pathogens and do not reuse needles and they sterilize equipment between all customers.
Avatar n tn Power-generating equipment, arc welding equipment and powerful magnets (as in medical devices, heavy equipment or motors) can inhibit pulse generators. Patients who work with or near such equipment should know that their pacemakers may not work properly in those conditions. Cellphonelphones available in the United States (less than 3 watts) don't seem to damage pulse generators or affect how the pacemaker works.
Avatar f tn As per my recommendation, do dieting but take only healthy food which only increase your vitamin not increase your weight. With dieting, use gym equipment product for reducing your over weight like treadmills, kettlebells, cycling and also use yoga accessories.
Avatar m tn Ensure is recommended for adult with underweight or with illnesses that cause them to lose weight. I see by your height that you are underweight. Your age is not stated so I cannot give you a calorie amount to consume daily. Being underweight, you have to gain weight slowly. Suggest you eat 3 meals a day and try to eat a Heart Healthy diet which will give you the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs, gain weight slowly, and help with possibly preventing future disease states.
572651 tn?1530999357 If you saw my email inbox you might be surprised at some of the mail I receive. I have signed up on distribution lists for many medical sites, including Nursing Times from the UK. I received an announcement today about an upcoming convention in LONDON, that may be of interest to some of you. This convention/conference is September 29-30 and the registration is FREE. I wish I could go, but its a bit far to commute. Some of you who live in the UK may be interested, though.
Avatar f tn I am so scared:) I was at a discount store and poked my hand with a safety pin that was taken apart, basically mangled. It looked like somebody had twisted it. It was on top of a clothing rack. It drew blood on me. The store had just opened and I am wondering if someone had purposely placed it there. Can I get hiv fro it and if not can you explain why? Thank you I am so scared!!!!
475300 tn?1312423126 Since were talking about tattoos-I was a tattoo artist in the 1980s and early 90s.One way hepC is transmitted via tattoo is interesting. Even though everything (equipment ,etc.) has been medically sterilized in an autoclave, there's a place some inexperienced tattooists miss. First, I fill a small cup with ink, and then begin the tattoo. I dip the bloody needles into the ink, and back to your skin. No problem there. Now, I run low on ink and refill the cup.
Avatar f tn s family not knowing about our registry, so my grandparents bought us a convertible safety 1st car seat. We never used the infant seat for it because it was easier to carry the graco seat and have multiple bases. It was very nice to have since she grew so fast though.
Avatar m tn It sounds like your doctor uses the same sort of equipment that used to be routine (20+ years ago), i.e. a sterile bacteriological loop. These were the norm among many STD specialists before modern disposalble swabs becamse widely available. And my guess the scalpel blade was disposable, single-use. There is no reasonable possibility the doctor does not carefully sterilizes the loop (and scalpel, if not disposablet) between patients.
Avatar m tn Third, almost all phlebotomy and injection equipment are now manufactured to be a ONE use only item, with safety features that actually render the equipment unable to be used a second time. If you cannot accept this, then get yourself some professional help.
2168213 tn?1357062544 I'm 12wks now and our sex life has been great. But my husband wanted to spice it up and bought me dildo/vibrator. I haven't had that and never experienced it. Anyone use it? Is it safe for the baby? I definitely don't want to risk the safety of my baby with my sexual pleasure. My little one is precious!!!
Avatar f tn html In a new policy statement published in the April 2011 issue of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics now advises parents to keep toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they exceed the height or weight limit for the car seat, which can be found on the back of the seat. Previously, the AAP advised parents to keep kids rear-facing as long as possible, up to the maximum limit of the car seat, and this has not changed.
Avatar f tn m in Australia and I have the Safe and Sound brand and they go by height rather then age or weight. The seats have a height indicator tab on the inside of the chair. My baby was in the steelcraft (britax) capsule until he reached the height limit, then moved into the convertible rear facing car seat at about 5 or 6mths when he reached the height limit, and we just got it turned forward facing this week because he was a bit over the height limit at 17mths.
Avatar m tn Your weight is right on target for your height. (I just realized you mentioned your height before...sorry) Is it just the bloating that is making you feel like you've put on weight (I say that because my 18 year old daughter is always complaining about her "fat", even though it's bloating - when the bloating goes down, she looks fine). Female hormones tell your body to put weight on your hips and thighs.

Avatar n tn Being that I'm not a doctor, and figuring anything out over the internet with such vague symtpms is difficult at best, a visit to your primary doctor would be in order.
Avatar m tn 00 PDT According to a follow-up of the Pediatric Study of Hepatitis C (PEDS-C) trial, children with hepatitis C (HCV) who were treated with peginterferon alpha (pegIFNα) display considerable changes in weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and body composition.
Avatar f tn re doing too much (be especially vigilant about staying hydrated, stretching to avoid injuring joints and ligaments that are softening because of pregnancy, and be aware that most women experience a small to moderate amount of dizziness during pregnancy which should be taken into account if doing exercises that require balance). if you have any questions about the safety of certain exercises or the use of certain equipment make sure and ask your doctor prior to use.
