Talk to your doctor: Some brain aneurysms are from an inhereted condition, but most are associated with lifestyle risks like smoking, cholesterol and hypertension.

Question 7

have you ever first hand seen organ "tissue death" that makes organs fail what caused this is this rare or common?

Accepted Answer

All the time.: Body parts wear out, especially if you don't take care of them. I've seen organs fail because of arterial blockages (heart, kidney), viral infections (liver, heart again), inflammatory conditions - usually auto-immune (pancreas, brain, kidney, lungs), alcohol / drugs (pancreas, liver, brain, heart), and other causes. Common or rare depends on your perspective. Most people don't live in a hospital

Question 8

i am 17 and i noticed that my hands are huge compared to my wrist, will they eventually even out or are they done growing?

Accepted Answer

Hands too big?: I would discus with other men in family and compare notes. Most likely you are still growing and it will even out.  Discuss with your team.

Question 9

i have been in contact with 2 members that was confirmed covid19 on wednesday the first person got confirmation yesterday for covid19 and the other today. 
i was wearing a mask the whole time, and washrd hands. please tell me what to do. ?

Accepted Answer

COVID contacts: Glad you were wearing mask  - what about the other two?  How close was contact?  Less than 6 ft ?   Did they appear ill at the time? Outdoors or in a poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Less than 10 mins? If someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. Would quarantine. Being tested is the only way to know for sure.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Selective growth: There is not a method to selectively  cause growth in the hands.
