blood too thin

17 May 2013 - 12:56 PM

N is suppose to have back surgery next Tues but they just called and said his blood is too thin, it's suppose to be between 60-100 and his is 20, we assume it's all the ibuprofen he's been taking for the pain that is the cause.

Does anyone know what he can do to get it back up by Monday?

LOL

Researchers: Elderly more at risk from H7N9

25 April 2013 - 05:48 PM


(CNN) -- Research into the H7N9 virus suggests the risk of contracting serious illness rises with age and that more people may be infected than the 105 cases reported, according to a study by the Hong Kong University.

Benjamin Cowling, associate professor at HKU's public health research center, told CNN that a disparity had emerged in data focusing people's exposure to live poultry.

"Essentially there are more exposures to poultry in older adults than in younger adults, but the difference in exposures is not as big as when we look at the differences in age of the number of serious H7N9 infections," Cowling said.

He said that if age were not a factor in the seriousness of infection, then researchers could expect the pattern of the disease to exactly match the pattern of exposure.

"What we're seeing is that half the serious cases are above 60 years of age," he said. Milder symptoms also meant that many more people may be infected with the virus than is currently known because people potentially infected with H7N9 were not seeking medical attention for what seems like a mild cough or fever.
