Who is Dr Ralph I. Lipman?

Dr Ralph I. Lipman is a Stress Physiologist who invented the book light in 1951.

He did research together with Dr. Matthew N. Levy in how the autonomic nervous system influences the heart's force of contraction to help regulate blood pressure.

He used his gastrointestinal research background, in the laboratory of Dr C.S. Tidball, to later help develop some Biomathematical foundations to understand what factors are important in determining if a given generic drug is equivalent to the original brand name product. Thus he was one of the professionals that helped start reducing the cost of prescription drugs.

What does chloride reveal in blood test?

Chloride is one of the electrolytes. It is a negatively charged molecule which works with other electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium, and carbon dioxide , to keep the appropriate amounts of body fluids in the appropriate places and to and maintain the body's acid-base balance Certain factors are known to increase it such as: 1. Drugs, especially some of the ones that decrease pressure in the eye for glaucoma patients. Also acetazolamide, ammonium chloride, androgens, cortisone, estrogen, guanethidine, methyldopa, and NSAIDs can all increase chloride. 2. Dehydration often causes an increased chloride level when water is loss in excess of chloride ion. 3. Repspiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis both increase chloride. 4. Certain types of kidney problems such as RTA or renal tubular acidosis. 5. Bromide is very similar to chloride and too much bromine will cause high chloride. Low chloride is seen in some conditions as well. 1. Severe burns cause loss of electrolytes especially chloride 2. Addison's disease (Adrenocortical hypofunction) 3. CHF or congestive heart failure cause fluid retention and low chloride. 4. Sweating leads to chloride loss so if that is excessive chloride will be low. 5. There is HCL or hydrochloric acid in the stomach. When this is removed by an NG tube as often is the case in the hospital, it must be replaced or there will be low chloride levels. For the same reason, excess vomiting will also cause low chloride. 6. Respiratory acidosis once it is compensated for will cause low chloride. 7. SIADH or syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion. 8. Taking in or receiving by IV too much fluid can do it too. So over hydration is a cause. 9. Metabolic alkalosis 10. Some drugs such as bicarbonate containing compounds, some diuretics, and triamterene. 11. Some types of kidney problems cause a loss of salt, such as salt losing nephritis.

I took 6 5mg of oxycodone today and its Wednesday I have a court test on Saturday at 1030am can I pass If I drink some water?

Possibly, but I wouldn't bet on it. The amount of water you drink has no bearing on the metabolism of your body (i.e.- the speed at which it clears itself of impurities).

Improvement by njs5080:

While water has no immense effect on detox, Oxycontin or oxycodone is water soluble and water does increase metabolic rate.(I'll get back to this later) If you use infrequently then the maximum that it would remain in your system would be 2-4 days for a lab test(commonly used by court systems). At maximum for frequent and high milligram doses is 5-7. However for the majority of tests those who do not test specifically for oxycodone is 3 days. I am certain of these answers because I myself am currently going through court drug tests and no matter the amount I used 7 days has cleared my system for lab UA's. Now to return to the question at hand, will water flush my system. No it will not necessairly flush your system but urine sample can be diluted. For example if you drink 1 gallon a day while upping your salt, vitamin b2 and creatine intake you may dilute your urine so that less toxins are emitted by your liver hence causing negative results while not raising suspicion. All drug tests have cutoff levels measured in nanograms with opiates, this level is usually about 300 because opiates are naturally produced with in your body. To put this more clearly, you may throw off lab results with water but in most states they check for this, causing a failed result. They do this by checking sodium levels as well as creatine levels diminished by a system flush.

Summary on detection time: Usually a 5-panel test is administered. Labs work usually with a 7-panel dipstick test and if a person fails, the urine is more closely analyzed for concrete results using more sophisticated measures.

Lab Tests: Give yourself 7 days...because Oxycontin itself only remains in your system 3 days max, labs check for metabolites in which the drug is broken down into

Dipstick: 3 days

Sorry for the long drawn out response but being a user myself, I wanted to shed some truth on a frequently sought answer. To wrap this all up drug detection times frequently vary based on many things about a person ie weight, metabolic rate, food intake, amount and frequency of use....etc etc. The best way to not fail/ pass a drug test is not to do them period.

Is RA level in blood 10.2 leads to arthritis?

RA levels are tested for if there is a suspicion that a person may be suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis. Not everyone has a Rheumatoid factor and in 20% of cases people that have RA don't have any RF at all. A diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis is generally the result of several observations including RF SED rate (inflammation) X-ray results and possibly others.

If both parents are blood Type A could they have a child with blood Type O?

We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.

Parental information:

  • Mother type A -- can be AA or AO therefore can contribute A or O
  • Father type A -- can be AA or AO therefore can contribute A or O
Baby recieves one gene from each parent:
  • Baby is type AA: recieves an A from each parent
  • Baby is type AO: recieves an A from one parent and O from the other
  • Baby is type OO: recieves an O from each parent
YES, the baby of two Type A parents can be Type O.

Should a TSH 8.17 go on medication?

8.17 is high, but before you go on medication, your doctor may need to do more tests to find out why it is high. Only your doctor can say if you should go on medication. If you are not comfortable with one doctor's advice, you should get a second opinion.

Is Spring Valley Omega 3 fish oil EE or TG form?

Unless labeled as TG (for the triglyceride form), nearly all fish oil products that provide concentrated omega-3s use the EE (ethyl ester) form. I think you can safely assume in this case that Spring Valley uses the EE form. This is because purifying and concentrating fish omega-3s requires converting them to the EE form. Some products are additionally processed later to convert them back to TG (their original form) - which costs you more, but makes no appreciable difference. FYI: if a fish oil hasn't been purified and concentrated you really don't want to use it because you'd be getting more mercury and other contaminants. Most commercially available fish oil products are purified and concentrated through a process called molecular distillation.Many companies are using the TG form as their "secret sauce" to get you to buy their products. However, despite their marketing claims that the TG form is more absorbable, this is actually not the case. There's some great information about this at the link in the "Related Links" category further down on this page. Here it is also as text (no link): http://www.sciencebasedhealth.com/sbh/perwell/vision/VisionInfoLinks/Fish_Oil_Omega_Forms_EE_Ethyl_Ester_vs_TG_Triglyceride.asp

How can I pass a hair follicle test and how long will it take for the test to be clean?

Hair Follicle drug testing is the most accurate, long term, and hard to beat, of all laboratory drug testing. As your hair grows, any chemical substances in your body also grow out with your hair.

Other than shaving your head, there is no way to hide drugs in a hair follicle test.

Should death row inmates be used for medical testing?

Why not? Now I'm not talking about some guy who got drunk and pissed one day and came home only to kill his wife (though I do think he should die) I'm talking about psycho paths who have killed time and time again for no reason. Seriously though why not? They would be giving back to society, and they are going to be killed any way so, why not? Anyway the crime rate is going up every where, why not give them something worse than death to fear.
