How would you treat a cold? how long do you stay home? Just let it run its course. It's caused by a variety of viruses, but is generally self limiting. Antibiotics are useless, since they aren't anti-viral, and may predispose you to other infections. Replace fluids, to prevent dehydration. Generally people find hot drinks are better since the steam helps to humidify the nasal cavity when you breath it in and it may also sooth the...

So, perhaps it is possible that a mutation could occur in the DNa immediately after conception which would result in the cell having code for RBC with B antigens on them, rather than none (as in O).

Answer to:
Why do German Shepards have such big, bushy necks? Only a guess, but perhaps to protect the neck from other dog attacks. Since the neck is an obvious target when fighting for superiority and alpha dog status, it makes sense to protect it, and a bushy neck makes it harder for another dog to get a good grip with their teeth into the flesh.

What will happen if you drink alcohol & take six 800mg. ibuprofens at the same time? The short answer is you would likely choke, trying to swallow 6 tablets and drink at the same time. As to the pharmacological effects on the body, it depends on several factors. As stated by j00nit, ibuprofen is one of the safest NSAIDs in terms of overdosage. However, 6 x 800mg = 4.8g. The maximum recommended adult dose is half that daily, and this to be taken in increments. The BNF...

Is working out on an empty stomach healthy or unhealthy? Your body needs carbohydrates in order to work. Your muscles are powered by a modification of these carbohydrates called glycogen.

Although most people are able to keep their blood glucose levels quite controlled, exercise will cause a reduction in the glucose, since...

Your heart therefore gets a workout, just as it would if you went on the treadmill. Your...

Why do people treat homosexuals badly and say that homosexuality is a diesease or a disorder,etc?

Since Christianity has been the dominant religion in most of the Western world, the prejudice against homosexuals grew stronger and...

How come if you have a pin wheel of red, blue, and green, and your turn it it tends to look white, or a whole new color. White light is actually composed of the mixture of red, green and blue light, hence why those three colours are the true primary colours.

When you combine all three primary colours of light we see white light. If you get real close to a TV...

It was a bit strange with the varying locations throughout the book, as so far we are used to be the...

If Nelson's jetpack were fueled with all the hot air from Washington DC, how far do you think he could fly? Not far.

When you run downstairs, are each of your steps equal or do you sort of skip down them with one foot being on a step longer than the other? Why is this? Is it because one leg is stronger than the other? Generally, people tend to have one leg a bit stronger than the other. Normally we don't notice this too much, bit such differences become more important when dealing with more complex actions such as descending stairs, or following illness or in the elderly, where physiotherapy techniques to improve walking can depend on such knowledge.

To add to this, I would also like to mention that certain tests have different reference values according to the lab where it is performed. So, a blood sodium level of 127 may be classed as abnormal in some hospital labs, and not in others. Another thing to mention is that refernce ranges are produced according to...

My mitusbishi tv is locked up. We tried to do the qv9. It looked like it was working, but now at the top of the screen, it says No Tuner. WE have no sound, no TV and will have to wait for the repair guy. What does No Tuner mean? Perhaps your television is able to pick up radio broadcasts, which are often referred to as Tuner broadcasts by entertainment devices. If no radio antenna is plugged in, obviously the television will have difficulty picking up such broadcasts. Is it possible for you to change the source from radio to TV? You may be receiving TV broadcasts with no problems, but have got the Tuner/Radio...

Unfortunately, I didn't return my library books on time and forgot to pay my £2 fine.

What is the average weight a 13 year old (Male) should be able to lift? If you ask what a typical 25 year old male should be lifting, it is impossible to answer because we all come in varying shapes, sizes and of physical abilities. AT 13, this is even more so, teenagers are so varied in their size and shape that it is impossible to state what the average weight one should be lifting. In fact, weightlifting at this age can actually be very harmful, as the body...

How does skipping help boxers? It helps with their balance (throwing punches really throws your centre of gravity away from the centre), stamina (try keeping that up for 10 minutes and you'll be drowning in sweat), works their legs (for stability and agility), abdominals (balance again, and punching power), resistance to lactic acid and it looks good when you can do it really fast.

This means that you have a triangle between the piece of paper, the top of the tree and the...

How long does it take for the symptoms of mono to develope? It can take between one and two months following infection for symptoms(such as fever, sore throat, enlarged glands in the neck, muscular aches etc) to show. Therefore you may have the virus but show no signs yet of it. If in doubt, consult a physician.

Answer to:
If you make out with someone who made out with someone who now has mono do you automatically have mono? No, you do not automatically have mononucleosis. As with other infectious diseases, not everybody is susceptible to it, and transmission between individuals does not always occur. However, there is obviously a certain risk of having acquired it, and because there is quite a long latent period where no symptoms are shown, it can be quite hard to determine whether you have been infected...

Is there any etiquette to bear in mind whilst using a sauna? If you really, really must shave, take a bowl and clean up after you. But don't do it unless you really, really have to. Oh yeah, and if you feel ill, get out. Not nice being vomited on in the sauna I would imagine.

Researchers at MIT just used wireless electricity to power a light bulb that wasn't plugged in. What uses can you see for this "WiTricity?" Firstly, for anaesthetics - severely critical patients or those undergoing extremely complex and dangerous ops have a lot of equipment attached, which, when moving patients, takes a lot of people to sort out to prevent from getting tangled. A wireless system of communication between each monitor lead and the actual display monitor would help solve a lot of that, but then each ECG electrode for...

If you were to dye your hair any color and be able to pull it off what color would you dye it? White. My thinking is this: Black is a sliming colour, therefore the opposite, i.e. white should therefore be a fattening colour. So, if I dye my hair white, it will look fatter than it really is, and therefore appear as though I actually have more hair than the sparse patch I currently have. Flawless logic.

Answer to:
Why did Denim trousers end up being called "Jeans". They originated in the port city of Genoa, where the material from Nimes was converted into a hard wearing fabric for clothing sailors. Bleu de Genes, the French phrase for the blue of Genoa, became corrupted into jeans. So technically, we should call them genes (the same spelling as the segments of genetic code).

| 4 people like this

Answer to:
Even though jeans are usually blue, why do they match most clothes? Perhaps because blue is quite a calm, neutral colour and so doesn't clash with most others. Rather than standing out like a bright red or green, blue is much more subtle. Plus, jeans are so commonplace nowadays that we think nothing of pairing them with many different tops and footwear, so we match them with items that may have been thought to not match them in years gone by.

We have a sulphur/rotten egg smell outside near our exterior wall and pump house. It seems to be more apparent when the outside temperature is warmer. What could be the cause of this? No gas lines here. I would imagine the smell is related to sewage, and the resultant growth of microorganisms breaking it down and releasing waste gas as a byproduct. This would explain why it is near your pump house (I assume it refers to a water pump of some kind). The increase in temperature would also mean the bacteria could reproduce much faster and breakdown the sewage much quicker than in the cold,...

I would imagine that the fan isn't able to rotate freely - perhaps due to buildup of dust/grime, possibly because it has come off its axis slightly and so there is increased friction resulting in the noise and reduced fan efficiency. Either that or your laptop is incredibly versatile and can double as a Flymo.

Tetralogy of Fallot is a condition resulting from the mis-development of the heart and great vessels,...

I just watched Jurassic Park for the first time and they explained how when mosquitoes bit the dinosaurs then being preserved with the dino DNA. Do you think we could do that today since we can clone nowadays? If we discovered the DNA? The chances are that over the >65 million years since the last ones died, the DNA degradation would be immense, even if preserved in the amber, so without a complete DNA strand, cloning would not work.

People have told me over the past 3 years that my skin is really stretchy. I've never weighed more than I do now, so it's not that there was once fat there. I just have really stretchy skin all over my body. Why might this be? Genetically you may produce more of a protein called elastin than most people, which gives skin its ability to recoil when stretched - if you pinch the back of your hand and pull the skin, it should rebound almost straightaway when youa re young, whereas in older people it takes noticeably longer, as the amount of elastin produced and the quality degrades. You may just be very lucky...

Why is it that every time i work out to the point where my muscles that've been worked on can't even lift up and yet i still don't sweat? Weightlifting (as I'm guessing is what you are doing) is principally an anaerobic exercise - your muscles require a supply of lgycogen in order to contract, and this glycogen is converted into glucose and burned without using oxygen. This produces lactic acid, which is the burning feeling you may get if you keep on working and working the muscles without rest. However, although the...

If you made a EMP device could it disable a GPS tracking system? It could disable the GPS device since the GPS is electronic, depending on a number of circumstances. 1. The GPS device must be within range of the EM pulse. Otherwise, obviously, the effects wouldn't be quite as you hoped for. 2. I'm not sure about this one, but I would imagine the GPS device would have to be activated at the time, in order for it to become disabled. Perhaps...

What is the deepest from which you could exit a doomed submarine by swimming out the hatch to the surface with no diving gear?

This answer depends on the individual, since it depends on the ability to hold breath, the size of the person's lungs and their ability to swim and various other factors. The deeper you go down below the...

I have a 1989 F150 that gets 13mpg with a 4.9L How do I get better mpg? Firstly, make sure your tyres are correctly inflated. Tyres that are getting flat will decrease your MPG.

If you accelerate with your fot buried from the lights all the time, you increase your fuel consumption with little actual advantage in getting to your destination, if any.

Do bigger people have a higher alcohol tolerance level?

My question was answer, but my concern is another girl had unprotected sex 6 days before her period. People are saying she could be pregnant. Who ever answer mine said no. Who is right? mine was 4 days from my period. and can pre cum come during 4play? OK, it's obviously an important subject to answer, so here's my response. The period itself is, as you may know, the time when the lining of the uterus and the ovulated egg itself is emptied away in preparation for the next cycle to begin. So, a number of days before the period is the time when the lining is thick, full of blood vessels and the egg is released, i.e. the best time...

I'm fairly certain that you do. It's happened to me quite a few times and I've not noticed any decrease in total points. When you are awarded points, the total points increases, but any accumulated points lost as a result of negative ratings and flagged questions/answers doesn't affect the total points at all. In a sense, your total points can never decrease (unless you...

Why does it feel good to have a "lazy day"? Your corticosteroid production is lowered, as you feel less stressed, resulting in a drop in blood pressure and heart rate, giving your heart a rest.

The reduced level of physiological...

In order to reduce the amount of fat you have, which are the contributing factor to your unhuge love handles, you need to burn off fat. However, due to the way in which the body metabloises food and processes it for energy, you need to perform cardio for about 15-20 mins before the fat stores are mobilised and used up to any significant degree.

Ni(NO3) 2 + 2 NaOH -> Ni(OH) 2 + 4NaNO3 , Ni(NO3) 2 + 2 NaOH -> Ni(OH) 2 + 2 NaNO3 , Ni(NO3) 2 + NaOH -> Ni(OH) 2 + 2 NaNO3 which equation is balanced correctly? The first equation cannot be correct because you start with two nitrogen (N) atoms from the (NO3)2 groups and end up with 4 from the 4NaNO3. The third equation does't balance because you start with 7 oxygen (O) atoms - (NO3)2 makes six plus the one from the NaOH - but you end up with 8 - two from (OH)2 and six from 2NaNO3. So the equation that balances is the middle one.

Why T-wave inverts in myocardial infarction? The T wave on an ECG indicates the direction of the wave of repolarisation back to the resting state membrane potential of the conducting cells of the heart.

However, inversion of the T wave...
