Excellent article on benefits of moving around while airborne to help prevent DVT. A couple of points of clarification:

Thank you for the wonderful article encouraging non-medical professionals to act during an emergency.
One basic and extremely important skill that everyone should learn is how to take a proper pulse. The carotid pulse in the neck is going to be your best bet in an emergency situation, as during cardiac arrest, the…
Thank you for the article and for pointing out the importance of H2O consumption.
If they really wish to find the password, and this isn’t a scam as eluded to in the article, they could offer a $1 million dollar reward for anyone who is able to breach the encryption. That would get a lot of people’s attention!
That is true, but when seeking the definition of a term, it behooves us to look toward the primary source. Of course, interpretation is another matter entirely, and this is also complicated by hadiths outside the Quran. Some of those are rated highly, others have been discredited such as the one which refers to a…
Webster’s should be revised. They are choosing the colloquial definition used in the media as the primary definition. Instead, it would make more sense for them to use the definition derived from the source of the word itself, the Quran.
If interested please refer to the following essay with examples and verses from…
Thank you for the article on this important topic. While I applaud this new requirement I think it is important to keep the following in mind: 1) These lists do not display the CPT or procedural code, and therefore it will be challenging for insurance companies, without this information, to give prospective patients…

I would add to this the now no-longer Google supported Picasa. Not only is it a great photo organizer, but the Picasa…
Dear Ms. Adamczyk, Thank you for your article and for providing data on influenza mortality. Your article also referenced mortality data due to influenza from 2014, the NEJM recently published an article with the latest figures from 2017. https://www.jwatch.org/fw114620/2018/09/28/80-000-americans-died-flu-last-year.

Recently tried this with a party of 4, and unfortunately, our experience is not what you would exactly call a hit. The fish & chips which 1/4 of us had was good. Everything else from my burger which was overcooked twice, beef dish, even their home made pies were not very good. On top of that, everything was…
Perhaps I am in the minority, but I have never found the idea of consent to be confusing. No means no. Yes means yes. If a yes later turns into a no, it is still a no. If alcohol or other potentially mind-altering substances are involved, an inebriated person cannot give affirmative consent. I feel as though most…
Detecting an irregular heart rate with an irregular rhythm (aka Atrial fibrillation) is a far cry from the capabilities of a true EKG. This watch cannot identify other arrhythmias, things like premature atrial contractions, supraventrcular tachycardias like atrial ventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (the most…
Perhaps I’m naive to the process but I’m curious to know how card-skimming malware can be installed on websites and apps?

Thanks for the tutorial!
While it is true that there is an established relationship between tendon rupture and fluoroquinolone (FQ) use, the incidence (the number of new cases) of tendon rupture associated with FQ use is extremely low. The incidence is estimated at 12 per 100,000. This risk is greatest during the first 90 days of those taking…
