Why is blood clotting abnormal in patients with vitamin K deficiency?
Answer:
as vit. k helpsin clotting of blood. its help in conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin d fibrin clots blood
Vitamin K is part of the coagulation cascade, a series of chemical/biological events that occur at the site of a blood clot. Vitamin K is found in many foods (plant-form of K, called K1) and is made by bacteria that live in your colon (K2). A deficiency of this vitamin will prolong your clotting time (length of time it takes to make an effective clot at the site of a bleed). Liver disease, and certain anti-coagulant medications, can create vitamin K deficiency that would be treated by taking additional vitamin K supplements.
I had problems with a vitamin K deficiency and was later found to be caused at least in part to a bleeding disorder called VonWillebrands disease.Similar to hemophilia but affects both men and women and most noticeable in women during their cycles( how mine was caught)
Why is Bird Flu in the news so much? Is it really that dangerous?
Answer:
It's extremely dangerous.Over the last six months 78% of the people who were infected died.Most of these people had contact with poultry, but some were human to human transmission.The virus is picking up the changes necessary to pass easily from person to person. When this happens, we will have a pandemic.None of us have any immunity so we will all be in danger. We will probably be told to stay in our homes to lower the number of infections. There are already plans to close schools for three months.We should have food, baby food, pet food, medicine, water, etc. for that time.It's a very dangerous virus.The 1918 pandemic - the virus is similiar to this virus - killed 50 to 100 million people worldwide.
UPDATE:It鈥檚 true that there haven鈥檛 been as many deaths from the H5N1 avian virus as we usually have each year from seasonal flu. YET. This pandemic flu vs. number of seasonal flu patients is really not that difficult to understand. The very real fear 鈥?getting more worrisome every day 鈥?is that the virus will continue the mutations that it has undergone so far. Scientists are watching it mutate and it is acquiring the mutations necessary to spread easily from person to person 鈥?that鈥檚 when a pandemic will begin. The only thing it lacks at this point is to latch on easily in our upper airway, and scientists are saying that it is a matter of when not if.Today the World Health Organization confirmed another 15 cases in Indonesia this year. 13 of those people died including a pregnant woman last week. Seven cases could be traced back to sick poultry, but eight couldn鈥檛. That means those eight people picked it up from another person or possibly another animal that鈥檚 now spreading it. Neither of these is good.It is a terrible death. A virus enters the body and takes over a cell. It reproduces itself and spreads so quickly that our immune system literally floods the lungs with cells to fight the infection. This reaction is so massive that the cells kill lung cells and the lungs fill up with both infection, and the immune system response. This is often called a cytokine storm. The person literally drowns, and there is nothing that even our modern medical system can do that is effective to save a patient. The current patients are getting good medical care with anti-viral drugs, ventilators to breath for them, IV fluids 鈥?all of the care we鈥檇 expect to get now if we came down with a terribly bad case of seasonal flu. (Yearly seasonal flu deaths are about 36,000 not 100,000)But unfortunately these things won鈥檛 be available for patients once a pandemic begins. We have no surge capacity in our medical systems. There will be nowhere to put millions of patients. There won鈥檛 be enough healthcare workers to take care of these patients 鈥?no antiviral drugs.There isn鈥檛 a vaccine and they won鈥檛 be able to manufacture one until the pandemic virus emerges. Then it will take at least 6 to 9 months for the first vaccine. There will be only small amounts at first and this will be given to healthcare workers, firemen, first responders, etc.Most people with the pandemic flu will die and they will die at home while being taken care of by their families.At this point most of the strains of H5N1 are responding to Tamiflu. We don鈥檛 have nearly enough and just in the past month, health officials decided to double the dosage in an effort to give patients the best chance of survival. That means we have drugs for only half as many patients as we had last month.There is one strain in Egypt that seems to have been resistant to Tamiflu. I wouldn鈥檛 be surprised to see if more strains develop a resistance. However, I鈥檓 sure that every one who gets pandemic flu would like to chance to see if Tamiflu would work for them.
It in itself is really not much more dangerous then a regular flu. The danger is if it mutates so that it is easily spread between humans because there is no innate resistance in human genes and there is no vaccine currently available that I'm aware of. Anyone that gets it they make a big deal about so it doesn't have a chance of spreading any more which would increase its chance of harmful mutation.
u know that flue is epidemic. it is an orthomixovirus. it has many genes because of that it recombinates and in each season a new kind of this virus appeares.
dear friend for more informations see:

i would be more worried about xrd tb in africa , 100% death rate amoungst hiv possitive and uncurable amoungst normal folks.
I agree with starlight on this one. What is more interesting with this flu is that the ones who get it and die are typically young.. the older people get very very ill but dont die as often from it.
Only about 150 deaths so far worldwide from bird flu but over 100,000 annually in the USA from normal flu. WTF?
Donald Rumsfeld used to be a major player and investor in Gilead (who ship Tamiflu all over the world) its a scam. They ramp up the fear factor using their neocon Zionist media mates, then rake in the profits from selling Tamiflu (which doesnt even friggin work).
Why is AIDS a disease created by man?
Which government created it? When? For whom?
Answer:
Im sure the jury is still out on that one. I heard Russians then someone else reckons Swiss doctors unleashed it hidden inside malaria innoculations, be nice to know for sure. Check out what some loose unit called Pianka had to say about human populations and diseases, he's a loony professor of some sort ,,,,,,,,easy to Google.
Gay sex, and sex with animals might have caused it.
I'm assuming you just heard that somewhere and want an explanation on the statement.
It's not necessarily the AIDS is a disease created by man, but more a disease perpetuated by man.
AIDS is the kind of thing that if the entire world was really organized, we could stop it real quick. If everyone who had aids knew they had AIDS and then never had any sort of contact that transmitted the disease AIDS would eventually go away.
But because the world is not that organized and too many people don't know or just don't care AIDS doesn't just go away.
It's not. That's an idiotic conspiracy theory.
umm dont know how to tell u dis but...AIDS came from monkeys in africa...or is it mosquitoes? either one
Last I heard, I think it mutated from the green monkey and crossed the species barrier. Bet a good search could yield some actual data. Just stick with the medical article. The conspiracy nuts will have you believing all sorts of weird drama!
I'm pretty sure that monkeys, as organized and civil as they are, don't have a government exactly.It's one of those diseases that crossed species. Monkeys apparently always had it.
It really is a disease created by men.gay men, that is. Men don't have a vagina, so they have to do it up the butt. Butt's have alot of bacteria in them. Thats just plain out sick!
Thats why when a woman and a man have anal intercourse, the man should wear a condom. It's the easiest way to spread and get AID's.
ok from what i know, A.I.D.S. is not uncommon in chimpanzee populations and it doesnt seem to affect them the way it does humans, has something to do with the approximate 1.5% difference in our genetic make up.
somewhere along the line the virus jumped species which is not unusual (mad cow disease to creutzfeldt-jakob disease in humans).
there are a number of things in nature that act adversely or lethally to humans but do not affect other animals the same way.
the sydney funnel web spider, the bulldog ant and its smaller relative, the highly aggresive jack jumper, when they bite or sting a human they cause anaphylactic shock (A sudden, severe allergic reaction characterized by a sharp drop in blood pressure, urticaria, and breathing difficulties that is caused by exposure to a foreign substance, such as a drug or bee venom, after a preliminary or sensitizing exposure. The reaction may be fatal if emergency treatment, including epinephrine injections, is not given immediately.).
if another animal such as a dog or cat or cow is bitten or stung it will not suffer any life threatining symptons, its the human morphology that makes us susceptible to these things.
so it was NOT created by humans, its existed in primates for perhaps thousands of years. i hope that answers your question.
Aquired immune deficitiency syndrome isn't a disease
it is a condition. It cannot be isolated, cultured, cross infected
or cured it fails every test for defining a virus. If you do drugs
missuse antibiotics, are malnourished, or are hemophiliac
and require huge tranfusion volumes your immune system takes a beating. when people find they have been exposed to
HIV ( and have developed antibodies ie. an immunity to it )
they panic and want treatment ex. AZT and other drugs
azt kills HIV like napalm kills rabbits it kills EVERYTHING!
the amazing thing is that any patient could take this vile
toxin for 10 years and live. no wonder they get sick waste
away and catch other diseases, they are being poisoned for
profit. Ultimately drug companies are making HUGE money
pedaling toxic waste world wide, and the medical profession
are getting paid for endless research on the non-disease
they will never cure.
Aids disease created by man? huh! and, where pray tell did you learn all this? In the first place it's a lot more complicated then that. Far more then I'm sure you can learn in these few sentences. It started in Africa, the Congo mostly during the 60's when the Cuban troops were there giving aid? to the people.
It's still questionable whether they ate the Green Monkey Brain or they contracted the disease from the people and sex with them. It's all besides the point now. They brought the disease back with them to the Caribbean region.
From here it spread into the Southeastern U.S. and up the coastline into the New England States, from here into the West coast regions, from here, it's history.
It comes from both men and women Honey, not just men.
It has not been created as such by man. It has occurred naturally in animals for a long time (slightly different from the HIV virus).It was thought to have crossed the species barrier from monkeys to humans in Africa in the 1970's due to the tradition of eating 'bush meat' (monkey meat). The virus then adapted to infect and cause disease in humans. Following this, it spread slowly at first, and then more quickly due to unprotected sex (homosexual and heterosexual) and transfusion of infected blood among other routes. So, it was a disease created by man because it was the activities of the human race which allowed the virus to adapt to live in humans.

Why insulin can not given IM?
Types of adminstration
Answer:
Insulin is usually given subcutaneously (into the fat). Other routes could possibly be given including IV. I think it has to do with SQ being slower absorbed (you don't want any quick shocks to the blood sugar). If you need faster...hospital usually deals with any possible IM or IV treatments. Ask a pharmacist for sure and he could tell you...
Insulin IS given IM (intramuscular)
predominately its given subcutaneously, but i suppose IM would work...it would burn more though, that's probably why due to the discomfort of IM shots..

Answer:
Hi
I had that %26 my ear popped all the time drove me nuts my ent said it was an allergy , it did go away in about 6 months
good luck
lean over on your side and let it drain.
If there's no infection why take antibiotics?
Why i got +ve result although i have completed a course of Inj. Interferon/?
I have completed a course of injection interferon for the treatment of hepatitis C. but again i got positive result. that is why. that means i have still hepatits c.
Answer:
If you postive result shows greater than 10, I believe the virus came back. Depending on which scale they used. I would call the doctor and ask him/her to read the results to you. Good Luck!
Good question as you were taking your treatments did you have to stop due to your white cell count being too low, , how aggressive was your treatment, there are new meds on htre market for Hep C talk with with your medical doctor or gastroenterologist , they may feel you are a candidate for a longer treatment or different treatment or your medical history may be one that is not conducive with further aggressive treatment, only your physician that knows your health history can give you all the answers. Did you ask your doctor if not ask if you did and don't understand ask again. Second opinions are always a good idea when in doubt

Why hydroen peroxide is good for you?
I did a reseach on hydro peroxide and it sais that ir had cured a few men from 3 different types of cancer like prostate being 1 of them . and over in Europe they use this to help out the HIV victims , so why is is that it kills all the germs and virus on a open whomp but get can't use it internally to help fight virus and etc. on the inside of you it still gets in the blood stream..
Answer:
You aren't very clear.
People can become cured from serious desease by faith alone, in anything or anyone.
Some people drink deadly poison and live to testify that faith is everything.
Not just only that it helps clense germs infection on open cuts. Good use for emo girl and boy.
that is a good question and you know they say you can get your teeth whiter with it too
Hydrogen peroxide has been used as an antiseptic and anti-bacterial agent for many years. While its use has decreased in recent years with the popularity of better-smelling and more readily-available over the counter products, it is still used by many hospitals, doctors and dentists in sterilizing, cleaning and treating everything from floors to root canal procedures.Recently, alternative medical practitioners have advocated administering doses of hydrogen peroxide intravenously in extremely low (less than one percent) concentrations for hydrogen peroxide therapy 鈥?a controversial alternative medical treatment for cancer. However, according to the American Cancer Society, "there is no scientific evidence that hydrogen peroxide is a safe, effective or useful cancer treatment." They advise cancer patients to "remain in the care of qualified doctors who use proven methods of treatment and approved clinical trials of promising new treatments."Internal use of hydrogen peroxide has a history of causing fatal blood disorders, and its recent use as a therapeutic treatment has been linked to several deaths.Hydrogen peroxide is Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) as an antimicrobial agent, an oxidizing agent and more by the US Food and Drug Administration. Hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a toothpaste when mixed with correct quantities of baking soda and salt. Like benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide is also sometimes used in the treatment of acne.Hydrogen peroxide is also used as an emetic in veterinary practice.
same reason clorox kills the aids virus but you cant inject clorox bleach into somebody. Its just to toxic for the internal system. A small amount applied to a generalized surface is one thing. Did your reaserch tell you how much peroxide was issued during these treatments? Either large diluted samples or small but frequent injections
It also kills our own cells but it does not harm the skin on the outside. The skin on the outside is what protects us against the peroxide from hurting us too.
Yes, it is true, my dentist also told me about this, if you drop a pea size of hydrogen peroxide to l liter of water, the water become alkaline, and when taken to our body system, the old cells degenerate and it is well known for those who have cancer, it really cures!
That is a very question. I would like to know the real true answer to that. There is a lot of viruses that could be cured that way. I do hope that you find out the real answer on that one. Good luck!!!!!
