Question 1

is it safe to consume alcohol on antibiotic for urinary tracy infection?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Alcohol decreases the absorption of the antibiotics and therefore the effectiveness of the antibiotic.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

May be infection: High sedimentation rate is common in active sle, high CRP is not. Actually, high CRP may suggest infection. See your rheumatologist, or see one asap.

Question 3

girl, 6, allergic to nuts 40, 80 kua/l, soy 4, 62 kua/l and others. 

should we avoid soy lecithin? what about food that "may contain traces of soy"?

Accepted Answer

Lecithin is safe.: Now for the "traces of soy" question: it all depends on the reaction that triggered the soy allergy discovery.  If she had a severe reaction when she ate something which contained soy, then you have to be careful with those products. Be extra careful. They are warning you. Would you feed it to her if it said "this may poison your child." now, if her reactions were mild, see comment below.

Question 4

how to train for triathlons?

Accepted Answer

Read up and plan: Check out the books in the bookstore. Triathlon training by michael finch and the triathlete's  training bible by joe friel are good ones. You need to be trained in each discipline first. Then try 2 in succession. This is called a "brick" workout. Usually it is ride/run. I use a 5:1 or 4:1 ratio. I.E. Ride 20miles/run 4 or 5 miles. Start slowly, build up and follow the plan. Race the way you train.

Question 5

leu trace..what is that mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Urine dipstick will indicate presence of white blood cells (leukocytes) as trace amount (TR) or higher amounts (1+,2+,3+,4+). Larger amounts suggest inflammation. Trace amount means nothing, as it is seen in many normal people. Urine must be collected properly to be accurate. Vaginal or foreskin contamination of specimen can falsely elevate leukocytes.

Question 6

i am fat should i strength train?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: The benefits are this.  Body fat burns few calories at rest since it calorie storage tissue.  Muscle has greater density and is very active metabolically, even at rest. Two people of identical weight will have different metabolisms: the one with a lower percent body fat will burn more calories at rest.

Question 7

how should you use toilet on a train?

Accepted Answer

Same as elsewhere: Trains used to scatter waste on the tracks as they moved.  Now it is collected and there is no issue in that department.  Other than steadying yourself against the motion of the train, there is no problem about using a train toilet.  Enjoy the trip and don't worry about the toilet.

Question 8

how do you teach kids to ride a bike?

Accepted Answer

Safety first: Insist upon a helmet each time your child is on the bike-with or without training wheels.  Bikes that are too small are usually the easiest, when sitting on the seat the feet should easily reach the ground, with bent knees.  On a small grassy incline, have your child lift the feet and allow the bike to slowly roll down the hill.  Don't bother putting feet on the pedals until he's comfortable.

Question 9

how do i train to  lose unwanted fat?

Accepted Answer

Aerobic/ weights: A combination of aerobic and weight training can be very effective.

Question 10

how could you train as an eecp operator?

Accepted Answer

Not much: Hi paige --
this is an automated machine -- so it should be pretty simple and self explanatory and anybody can operate it -- but a physician should supervise to make sure that the patient is stable -.
