Question 1

what is the average life span of a welder? (confined space, and high up)

Accepted Answer

Sky's Limit: I know some pretty old welders. When i don't want to say i'm a doctor i say i'm a welder. Great fun. They've taught me some of the lingo. Seriously, diet, exercise, stress reduction you could outlive even these guys. Easy on alcohol. Stop smoking if you do. It's not the welding that will shorten your life. All the best.

Question 2

what would be the average life span of a human embryo?

Accepted Answer

5-6 days: An embryo goes through certain stages over the first 4 days that prepare it to enter the uterus. There is becomes a blastocyst on day 5 or 6 and has the ability to stick and implant in the uterus. After that it has integrated into the blood supply of the uterus. If it does not implant it stops growing.

Question 3

what is average life span if i stop all aids medicines?

Accepted Answer

Depends on CD4, VL: Hmm... not sure I want to help with this sort of question. Why would you (or someone close to you?) with HIV stop taking medications for it? If you are depressed or otherwise upset, please get counseling. That said, the "average" life span is impossible to say without knowing things like your CD4 count and viral load (VL). Anywhere from a few months to 20 years, but probably usually 2-5 years.

Question 4

premature menopause, what is the average life span after it?

Accepted Answer

No: If it is truly premature menopause with high fsh levels in menopausal range, then no, this does not go away.  There are women who do not have a period but are not menopausal do to hormonal imbalances, tumors, stress, chronic illness.  Often when this improves, their hormones come back and they resume normal periods.

Question 5

what would be the average life span of someone with dementia?

Accepted Answer

Can be quite long: Remember, an individual is not an average. With dementia dx, a person under 70 averages 10.7 yrs but less if they are frail or ill. In a study of all ages, average survival after DX of alzheimers or dementia was 4.5 yrs.  But, with good care and an otherwise strong, healthy body - life with dementia can exceed averages by a lot yet it definitely shortens average life expectancy.

Question 6

what is the average life span after a major stroke due to ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most causes of death after a major stroke are due to complications from the immobility a stroke causes. People that are no longer ambulatory are at risk for pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bed sores, clots in the legs and many other things that can cause serious illness. Even with the best care, any of these things can occur.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Generally, normal: People with eds generally have a normal lifespan. Though, those with the rare vascular type of eds have a high risk of sudden death from organ or vessel rupture.

Heart-related complications can shorten the lifespan of people with Marfan syndrome, though many live into their 60's and 70's (i.e. Normal lifespan) with careful medical management.

Question 8

average life span for patients with mantle cell lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Stage ?: Depends on stage. There are two subsets of mantle cell nhl. One is an indolent subset in which 5 yr survival approaches 70-80%. The othe more aggressive subset has a prognosis of only 50/50 at three years. But stage also matters.

Question 9

what is the average life span for a moderate to severe asthmatic person?

Accepted Answer

Normal: A well controlled asthmatic, regardless of severity, generally has an 'average' lifespan comparable to those without asthma.  Logically, uncontrolled asthma is a risk factor for a shorter life.
