Can marijuana cause a physical dependence?
Scientists and researchers alike will say yes. Smokers of marijuana sometimes doubt if it does, because the effects of withdrawl aren't as obvious as opiates, for example. The psychological dependance synptoms are stronger than the physical dependance symptoms, but are there none-the-less.
Where is cam shaft sensor located 1993 Chevy 350 5.7?
A 93 does not have a cam sensor. Everthing is in the distributor like the old stuff was. If the engine has no spark then the ignition module are the pick-up coil in the distributor is bad. I would also check the coil and coil wire. If this don't help you, then ask your question again with your synptoms. GOOD LUCK

Is it possible to have a nervous breakdown without even knowing?
It is unlikely to have a true nervous breakdown without being aware of it. A nervous breakdown is typically characterized by a severe and sudden inability to function normally, which is usually evident to the person experiencing it and those around them. However, it is possible for someone to be unaware of the extent of their distress or to have a gradual decline in mental health that eventually leads to a breakdown. In such cases, it may be helpful for loved ones or healthcare professionals to intervene and provide support.
Can HIV be spread from a non infected person?
No, since their bodily fluids are not HIV positive. Shared needles, blood, and semen all can hold HIV if the person using them/having them was HIV positive.Then How did the first person ever infected get it?Are you saying that a few people in Africa got bitten by bats and thoses few people had sex and passed it on and so on and so on till it got to people all over the world?The question is: Is the only way to get aids, is through sharing(sex/needles) of blood/fluid from an infected person?If my partner has a cut on their genitals and I get that blood in me (and neither of us have HIV or Aids) then it's ok right?
Is schizophrenia a type of birth defect?
Its a type of mental illness. Technically yes, it is a birth defect since schizophrenia has to do with how the brain develops before birth. The exact causes of it is not known, but its a certain area of the brain that is not developed properly. It also can be genetic as well as hereditary. If schizophrenia runs in families, or if a parent has the mental illness and the mother is pregnant, there's a 50% out of 100 chance that the baby could develop it and it usually is present before birth but symptoms don't start showing until the child is older. (for genetic schizophrenia, the child`s synptoms show at the age of two). Schizophrenia is very rare(especially childhood schizophrenia) and it only affects 1% of the american population eith the most being adults. it`s rare in both adults but is extremely rare in children and babies.
Acute nephritic syndrome?
DefinitionAcute nephritic syndrome is a group of disorders that cause swelling or inflammation of the internal kidney structures (specifically, the glomeruli).Nephritic syndrome is a type of glomerulonephritis.Alternative NamesGlomerulonephritis - acute; Acute glomerulonephritis; Nephritis syndrome - acuteCauses, incidence, and risk factorsAcute nephritic syndrome is often caused by an immune response that is triggered by an infection or other disease.Frequent causes in children and adolescents include the following:IgA nephropathyHenoch-Schonlein purpuraHemolytic uremic syndromePost-streptococcal glomerulonephritisFrequent causes in adults include:Abdominal abscessesInfective endocarditisKlebsiella pneumoniaGoodpasture syndromeHepatitisMembranoproliferative GN IMembranoproliferative GN IIRapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritisSLE or lupus nephritisSyphilis and other sexually transmitted diseasesTyphoid feverVasculitisViral diseases such as mononucleosis, measles, mumpsThe inflammation disrupts the functioning of the glomerulus, which is the part of the kidney that controls filtering and getting rid of wastes. This disruption results in blood and protein appearing in the urine, and the buildup of excess fluid in the body.Swelling occurs when protein is lost from the bloodstream. (Protein maintains fluid within the blood vessels, and when it is lost the fluid collects in the tissues of the body). Blood loss from the damaged kidney structures leads to blood in the urine.Acute nephritic syndrome may be associated with the development of:High blood pressureSwelling of the spaces between the cells of the kidney tissueAcute kidney failureSymptomsCommon symptoms of nephritic syndrome are:Swelling of the face, eye socket, legs, arms, hands, feet, abdomen, or other areasBlood in the urine (urine appears dark, tea colored, or cloudy)Decreased urine volume (little or no urine may be produced)Other symptoms that may occur include:Blurred visionGeneral aches and pains (joint pain, muscle aches)General ill feeling (malaise)HeadacheSlow, sluggish, lethargic movementCoughcontaining mucus or pink, frothy materialDecreased alertness, drowsiness, confusionPatients may develop symptoms of acute kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease.Signs and testsDuring an examination, your health care provider may find the following signs:High blood pressureSigns of fluid overload (when examining the abdomen)Enlarged liverAbnormal heart and lung soundsEnlarged neck veins from increased pressureGeneral swellingSigns of acute kidney failureTests that may be done include:BUNCreatinineCreatinine clearanceUrinalysisUrine appearance and colorPotassium testProtein in the urineA kidney biopsywill reveal inflammation of the glomeruli, which may indicate the cause.Tests to determine the cause of acute nephritic syndrome may include:ANA titer (lupus)ANCA (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody for vasculitis)Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodyBlood cultureCulture of the throat or skinSerum complement (C3 and C4)TreatmentThe goal of treatment is to reduce the inflammation. You may need to stay in a hospital to have acute nephritic syndrome diagnosed and treated. The cause must be identified and treated. Treatment may include antibiotics or other medications or therapies.Your doctor may recommend bedrest. You may need to limit salt, fluids, and potassium in your diet. Your health care provider may prescribe medications to control high blood pressure. Corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory medications may be used to reduce inflammation.Other treatment of acute kidney failure may be appropriate.Support GroupsFor information and support, see kidney disease support groups.Expectations (prognosis)The outlook depends on the disease causing the nephritis. When the condition improves, symptoms of fluid retention (such as swelling and cough) and high blood pressure may go away in 1 or 2 weeks. However, urine tests take months to return to normal.Children tend to do better than adults and usually recover completely. Only rarely do they develop complications or progress to chronic glomerulonephritis.Adults do not recover as well or as quickly as children. Although it is unusual for the disease to return, at least one-third of adults whose acute nephritic syndrome does return will eventually develop end-stage kidney disease.ComplicationsCongestive heart failurePulmonary edemaChronic glomerulonephritisNephrotic syndromeCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have symptoms of acute nephritic syndrome.PreventionMany times the disorder cannot be prevented, although treatment of illness and infection may help to reduce the risk.ReferencesHaymart MR, Atta MG.
