Question 1

i'm very concerned about this because i've heard a lot of people say the phone can overcharged and you can electrocute yourself. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Don't think so...: Cell phones run on about 4 volts (less than half the voltage of a typical 9 volt battery used for smoke alarms). We humans have skin that is not a good conductor of electricity, which is why we can hold both ends of 9 volt batteries without any problem. If the phone batteries short out or otherwise overheat, the phone could catch on fire, and in the rarest of cases kill you that way...

Question 2

when bottom tooth hits top tooth it feels like it electrocutes me and my mouth gets watery same thing happens sometimes when saliva hits it to?

Accepted Answer

Needs exam: Could be a number of things, including a loose filling, a cavity, or even a fracture. Can't possibly tell over the internet. That's why you'll need to make an appointment with a local dentist.

Question 3

what is transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms)?

Accepted Answer

For depression: TMS is a treatment for depression. It is very well tolerated and may work when medications do not. In one study, about 60% get better w/ the treatment and about 40% have no symptoms of depression after the treatment.  It works by stimulating a part brain which modulates mood, called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It is beginning to be covered by more insurances. I highly recommend it.

Question 4

does a pacemaker use electromagnetic waves?

Accepted Answer

It uses electricity: It uses electricity from a battery.

Question 5

who should utilize electrical bike stimulation therapy?

Accepted Answer

Paralysis patients: If i'm understanding the question, that's a treatment for individuals either partially or completely paralyzed below the waist, used to maintain muscle tone.

Question 6

whats transcranial magnetic stimulation?

Accepted Answer

Treats Depression: The brain is an electric organ as much as it is a chemical one.  Tms "activates" a specific part of the brain which relieves depression. It is safe and effective. It has been used to study and treat depression since the 1980s. It is given 5 days a week, 20minutes a session, for 4-6 weeks and can be very expensive.

Question 7

what is transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation used for?

Accepted Answer

TENS: Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation  (tens)  uses low - voltage electrical current to relieve pain.

Question 8

is electro stimulation therapy appropriate for bicep tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Electric stimulation has been used for over 100 years.  These days you have units that use either milliamps or microamps.  There are now very sophisticated microcurrent machines in use by physicians, chiropractors, pts and athletic trainers.  I think they are the most effective.  Find a frequency specific microcurrent provider who has a machine w/ many settings including ones just for tendons.

Question 9

what is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator?

Accepted Answer

Life saver: An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) system has leads (wires) that are inserted through the veins under the collarbone and threaded to the heart. The leads are attached to a box that goes under the skin. The box has a computer that continuously monitors the signals from your heart for a dangerous arrhythmia. If this occurs, the icd stops the arrhythmia by delivering an internal shock.

Question 10

is an electrical cardioversion different from a regular cardioversion?

Accepted Answer

It is one type: Cardioversions are either electrical, chemical, or spontaneous.( electric shock, medicine , or on its own).
