safety equipment lights

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?

Do LED lights damage the retina? My husband recently replaced quite a few fixtures in our home with energy-efficient LED lights and I'm wondering if they are cause for concern.

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.

Tattoo artists/piercers are trained on safety measures regarding bloodborne pathogens and do not reuse needles and they sterilize equipment between all customers.

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.

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.

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!!!!

I have a device also, and the most worrisome equipment, according to the manual, is magnets. I live within walking distance of one of the biggest hydroelectrical Dams in the world, and as long as I do not go on a tour of the Dam, I get along fine. Otherwise, my device could be rendered useless, or it could cause the device to fire for no reason. Also, cell phones are not supposed to be within 12 inches of the device, or the same effect as above may occur.

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.

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.

I have MS. I complained of seeing large white, fuzzy halos around small lights at night to my neurologist. (Like when I look at the bright LEDs on my stereo equipment) He stated that the main causes of this were refractive error and glaucoma. A year ago I had OCT and they also did pressures. The pressures were fine, but the OCT showed mild optic nerve atrophy on the left and borderline on the right. This was explained to me as the sequelae of optic neuritis.

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.

I agree that glasses for safety is a good idea. Also your whole family needs to think eye safety. She needs to avoid things that carry a risk of eye injury as the biggest risk to her good eye is trauma. Thus avoid lawmowers, weed-eaters, power tools, firecrackers, contact sports, etc. If she make a decesion that she is going to play contact sports or racquet sports she needs protective sports goggles.

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!!!

pdf for examples). LED lights (on stereos and almost all electronic equipment) also starburst and are blurry. Night time is the worst with car brake lights bursting along with traffic signals and on-coming headlights...not to mention halo's around streetlamps. I've seen Retina specialists who tell me my retina is unremarkable (good). I've had coreal specialists tell me the same (no Fuchs or similar syndrome). My corneal topography was OK.

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.

We just had sex last few days with any safety equipment like condoms. We are both virgin. 1 hour before we had sex, i did masturbate. Then we started to have sex and i didn't shoot out my sperms inside. I would like to ask in this situation how high or low the chance of my girlfriend will get pregnant?

transfusion, needle stick, medical procedure performed with unclean equipment, tattoo... Infected blood has to mix with yours for you to get sick. Eating it doesn't count. You are not wasting anyone's time here. I am happy to help you and to answer your question. And I am also very happy to tell you that you don't have hepatitis C and could not possibly get it by the way you describe.
