Question 1

confused on blood work 5 yr old with 128% von willebrands antigen level and 60% von willebrands ristocetin cofactor and the factor 8 essay was left blank what's this mean?

Accepted Answer

: It means factor VIII was not checked and there is a discordant between VWF antigen level and VWF activity. Your child's hematologist will give you a detailed explanation about these results. Good luck.

Question 2

celiac and hashimotos here. everytime i have a baby i get really sick bc of new/ increased allergies. most severe is fragrance reaction to citrus rind. just had my 3rd really sensitive/cant avoid bc its everywhere. how do i find cofactors?

Accepted Answer

: Avoidance is one strategy, but formal allergy testing may be indicated. Is the symptom an intolerance or actual allergic reaction? What are your symptoms? Is there itching and a rash, which are common allergic symptoms. Rinsing nasal passages with saline may help.

Question 3

is magnesium needed for vitamin d absorbtion as cofactor?

Accepted Answer

Magnesium is not: needed for absorption of D but it is good for muscle cramps, aches, and headaches.  D is is needed as a co-factor for absorption of calcium, which is what you may be thinking of.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

what are cofactors?

Accepted Answer

Small molecules: Hi. Cofactors are small molecules used by enzymes to aid in catalyzing chemical reactions. Common cofactors used by enzymes to mediate chemical reactions are many of the vitamins, and ions, such as iron. It's a big field!

Question 5

will i find love?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But sometimes in th most unlikely place. Let love find you!

Question 6

my pen very small?

Accepted Answer

Penis size: Am I OK?: When ever i meet a patient who feels his penis is too small I have them do some reading online about what the average sizes of penises are and try to have them feel like they are probably normal and okay.

My experience talking to sexually active adults is that size is not as important as how one makes love... What you do with it is what counts to a partner.

Question 7

green sticky snot?

Accepted Answer

Not helpful: The stickiness or viscosity of nasal mucus is not a good predictor of the underlying problem. Other symptoms are better indicators, such as the presence or absence of fever, itchy eyes, sore throat and other symptoms.

Question 8

can i eat raw lamb?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why???: Haven't heard of any regulations against the eating of raw lamb, but why would one not cook his meat. Undercooked meat has bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are bad for people. One can enjoy a healthier lifestyle by cooking to death all those "germs", before eating.

Question 9

how can child born?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal or C section: A child is born either vaginally (naturally) or via cesarean section (surgery), typically 9mo after conception which can either be natural (via sexual relations) or artificial (via assisted reproductive techniques). There are plenty of instructional/informational videos on natural & surgical deliveries available online simply by searching. Info is also available re conception & fetal development.

Question 10

how do i loose fat?

Accepted Answer

Calories: Very simple - calories burned exceed calories in. Not all weight lost will be from fat.
