What are the risks of using a magnetic mattress?
There are no documented risks for using a magnetic mattress however the magnetic field created by the magnets could cause implanted devices like pacemakers to not work properly. The stronger the magnets used the more risk to implanted devices so it would be wise to contact a physician if the person who wants to use the mattress has an implanted device.
Does congestive heart failure improve with a pacemaker?
Yes, you should externally defibrillate a patient with a pacemaker who has gone into cardiac arrest. Chest compressions, rescue breathing and standard cardiac arrest procedures should be followed, while paying attention to the following points.EMS personnel should be aware that the pacemaker has its own implanted defibrillator and will fire charges at regular intervals. This should not harm the person doing chest compressions. A slight tingling feeling may be felt on the patient as the shock from the pacemaker is delivered. To avoid this, wear thick nitrile or latex gloves while doing chest compressions.The shock from the external defibrillator may cause damage to the pacemaker, and even interfere with it. To lessen the risk of this, the defibrillator should be placed on the lowest possible charge that is clinically accepted. If you notice that the implanted defibrillator and the external defibrillator both deliver a shock at the same time, standard procedure dictates that you wait 30 to 60 seconds prior to re-shocking with the external defibrillator. In the meantime, chest compressions and manual ventilation may be commenced.Intubation, artificial airways and other standard practices should be performed, despite the patient having a pacemaker.It is also vital that urgent medical help be called as with all cardiac arrest patients. Remember, cardiac arrest patients are not normally transported in the ambulance unless they are revived on scene.
Can a mobile phone cause heart attack if it is in a left hand pocket?
No, a mobile phone in your left hand pocket is not going to cause a heart attack, although a person with an implanted pacemaker should not carry a mobile phone directly next to the pacemaker.

Define microshock and how defibrillator would be used to treat?
lMicroshock is a risk in patients with intracardiac conductors, such as external pacemaker electrodes or saline filled catheters, within the heart. A current as low as 10uAmps directly through the heart, may send a patient directly into Ventricular Fibrillation. For example a patient is holding onto his/her bed with left hand and reaches out with right hand and touches a device that has a broken wire inside of it and that wire is touching the inside case of said device. This would cause the person to receive a microshock and possibly send them into V-fib. A defibrillator can be used after a person receives a microshock and they go into V-fib. In V-fib the heart is not pumping blood to a person organs, the heart is fluttering instead of beating. The purpose of a defibrillator is to stop the heart, and hopefully if the heart is healthy enough it will start up into a life sustaining rythem. The following is what v-fib looks like on an ECG.

How did Mars become a NASCAR sponsor?
They went to NASCAR and paid them a huge amount of money. NASCAR looks at three things when they evaluate a potential new "official product of NASCAR" sponsor: the product's reputation, whether NASCAR fans use the product and whether the sponsor can afford to pay the fees. Reputation is all important. It has to be a product that won't cause any embarrassment, so you'll never see something like an "official condom of NASCAR." Usage is another very important one. The product should be usable by both men and women, and within reason by both adults and children (obviously children aren't supposed to use beer, but there is an official beer of NASCAR and that's okay), and be affordable to all. You will probably never see an "official cosmetics of NASCAR" even though a lot of women watch NASCAR and would buy it, because guys generally don't wear makeup. Similarly, because Rolexes are not affordable to most people you probably won't see Rolex become the official watch of NASCAR. The part about the fees is self explanatory.

Why did they change the 2012 Daytona 500 date?
Nascar did this to not cause any conflicts with the NFL's Super Bowl. The NFL asked city officials to keep blocks of hotel rooms etc. open for Super Bowl weekend and the weekend after. Nascar didn't want their speedweeks to compete with an event such as this.
What does an AED do for a cardiac arrest victim?
An AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is used in an attempt to shock a person's heart--who is either in ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) or ventricular fibrillation (V-fib)--into a effective heart rhythm that will cause the heart of pump blood.
Why was the 2012 Daytona 500 later this year on the calendar?
