The following is a fascinating list of 10 facts about oral contraceptives: -

1. Birth control pills won’t make you gain weight. While maternal hormones like progesterone is associated with weight gain during pregnancy, progesterone based OCs does not cause weight gain.
2. Combination OCs (estrogen/progestin) can prevent ectopic (tubal)
pregnancy.
3. Oral contraceptives can help prevent ovarian cysts, endometrial cancer and
colon cancer. They cannot prevent sexually transmitted infections.
4. Using OCs in your 30s could help prevent hip fracture later in life.
5. Oral contraceptives can prevent heavy bleeding during your period and
reduce the risk of iron-deficiency anemia.
6. Oral contraceptives can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, including some
hereditary forms associated with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
7. There are no serious medical consequences to skipping periods by using
birth control pills as continuous contraception.
8. There is a chewable birth control pill, Femcon Fe, that includes seven days of
pills that contain iron.
9. Today, more than 40 different OC brands are available to U.S. women.
10. Oral contraceptives may not be for you if you are over 35 and smoke, are
overweight or obese, have diabetes or hypertension or a personal or family
history of clotting disorders.

Guinness book of world record has ranked bachelors of nursing as one of the toughest courses I the world, above medicine, engineering and architecture. This just explains that nurses are not average performers but high functioning scholars. Beyond being high functioning, nurses must have strong social, political, cultural and religious skills that equip them with skills to deal with all lows and highs of life.

Nursing pub is a place where nurses from all over the world share stories, experiences, and tips to the world about who we are. Besides stories, nurses at nursing pub offer health tips, answer public questions that may help make better health related decisions.

We are nurses and we stand together like one army from all over the world. We can be described in many ways but no one way can describe us well enough.

“I was there when you took your first breath. Cleaned you, fondled you and introduced you to the world. I prepared you to face the world. I gave you all vaccinations, taught your mother better ways to keep you safe. Day one in school, I was there as your school nurse. When you got sick, I was there in the emergency room, by your bed. Wiped you clean when you couldn’t control your bowels. I was there to feed you when you got too old to feed yourself. I tucked you in bed like I did when you were a baby. Even as you took your last breath, I was there, cried with your family, held hands and said a prayer.

I am not supernatural. I have feelings, blood and a life. I only eat after you have eaten. I pee only after cleaning you and make sure you are comfortable. I have been there for you throughout your life. Respect me”

I am a nurse

BIPOLAR LEADS:

Bipolar leads are so named because they require a positive pole and a negative pole. Just like a a battery that have positive an begative poles. The positive electrode is the one that actually “sees” the current coming. The lead that sees the current makes the wave. The direction the current is coming from determines if the wave will face upwards of downwards. Sounds like Greek in England? I apologize but I will try to make it as simple as possible.
Lets review that small paragraph:

• That bipolar leads have positive and negative poles = CHECK
• The positive lead is the one that sees the current = CHECK
• The direction the current is coming from determines the direction of wave deflection = CHECK

So which are these bipolar leads that have positive and negative poles with the positive lead seeing the current? There are 3 bipolar leads in a 12 lead EKG: -

• Lead I. Measures the current traveling between the right and left arms. The right arm is negative pole and the left arm is positive pole. So, the lead on the left arm is the one that sees the current travelling from the right arm = CHECK
• Lead II. Measures the current traveling between the right arm and the left leg. The right arm is negative pole and the left leg is positive pole. So, the lead on the left leg sees the current coming from the right arm. = CHECK
• Lead III. Measures the current traveling between the left arm and the left leg. The left arm is the negative pole and the left leg is the positive pole. Likewise, the lead on theleft leg sees the current coming from the left larm. =CHECK

You’ll notice that in the bipolar leads the right arm is always negative and the left leg is always positive. Also note that the left arm can be positive or negative depending on which lead it is a part of. If you join leads I, II, and III at the middle, you get the triaxial diagram

AUGMENTED LEADS:

· aVR. Measures the current traveling toward the right arm. This is a positive electrode. The electrode is on the right arm.
· aVL. Measures the current traveling toward the left arm. This is a positive electrode. The electrode is on the left arm.
· aVF. Measures the current traveling toward the left foot (or leg). This is a positive electrode. The electrode is on the left leg.

These are called augmented leads because they generate such small waveforms on the EKG paper that the EKG machine must augment (increase) the size of the waveforms so they’ll show up on the EKG paper. These leads are also unipolar, meaning they require only one electrode to make the leads. In order for the EKG machine to augment the leads, it uses a midway point between the other two limbs as a negative reference point
Both the bipolar and augmented leads are also called frontal leads because they look at the heart from only the front of the body.

PRECORDIAL (CHEST) LEADS

These leads are located on the chest. They are also unipolar leads, and each one is a positive electrode. The precordial leads see a wraparound view of the heart from the horizontal plane. These leads are named V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6.

 FACTS ABOUT EKG

· An impulse traveling toward (or parallel to) a positive electrode writes a positive complex on the EKG paper.
· An impulse traveling away from a positive electrode writes a negative complex.
· An impulse traveling perpendicularly to the positive electrode writes an isoelectric complex (one that is as much positive as it is negative).
· If there is no impulse at all, there will be no complex¾just a flat line.

NORMAL QRS DEFLECTIONS

How should the QRS complexes in the normal EKG look? Let’s look at the frontal leads:

• Lead I Should be positive.
• Lead II Should be positive.
• Lead III Should be small but mostly positive.
• aVR Should be negative.
• aVL Should be positive.
• aVF Should be positive.

Now that this might need a day or two to digest, I will stop at this point. Next, we will re-visit this same topic with descriptive diagrams to show you how the current travel and the expected EKG wave deflection.

The length of pregnancy is calculated at 280 days from the first day of the LMP. However, there are various factors that will affect the length of pregnancy and the calculation of the EDD: -

Ever heard that the gestation period of a human being is 9 months or 40 weeks? This is a generalization because various factors can affect expected day of delivery.

* The length of the menstrual cycle: Some people have 28, 30 or 33 days cucles. Others even have 25 days cycle whle others are never consistent.
* Conception within three months of discontinuing the contraceptive pills:
* Conception while taking the contraceptive pill
* Conception when an intrauterine device is in situ
* When the last bleed is calculated as a menstrual period when it is an implantation bleed
* In vitro fertilization when the day of conception is known.

When taking details of a woman’s menstrual history, the following questions should be asked:
* At what age when menstruation started
* Regularity of menstrual bleeds
* Frequency of menstrual bleeds
* Length of menstrual bleeds, especially the last one.

Gestational age and calculation of EDD by LMP is calculated according to Naegele’s rule. That is, counting forwards by nine months and adding seven days from the first day of the LMP or by adding a year, counting backwards by three months and adding seven days.

It is important to calculate using the length of the menstrual cycle. The latter calculation is based on a 28-day cycle. For a 33-day cycle, the calculation is to add nine months, then seven days then five days.

Due to high ratings and traffic on The Diet Solution Program, I decided to go through the product and write an informed and educated review as a registered nurse. This review looks deeper into Isabel De Los Rios work on weight and fat loss program.

With weight loss and dieting industry booming all over the word, weight loss products ought to be well scrutinized before buying. There are predators out there looking to get any dollar they can put their hands on from people struggling with weight. In this review, I will examine some of the claims Isabel De Los Rios has made and see if there is scientific evidence behind them.

Isabel De Los Rios Fat Burning Food Claim

The diet Solution Claims that there are certain foods that when eaten can lead t fat burning. This claim sounds too good to be true to a lot of people. The truth is, certain foods like avocados (in moderation), seeds and nuts help burn out the bad fat. It should be noted that avocados should be eaten in moderation as they contain high calories

This claim is = TRUE

Isabel De Los Rios Fat Burning Method

During my undergraduates, I took a nutrition class and thought it was one of the best courses I have ever taken. My instructor always reminded us that “fat melt on carbohydrate flame”. It may not be straight forward to understand this saying but it is a true scientific and evidence based truth. You must burn carbohydrates to burn fat. You must burn all your available carbohydrates in your system before you can start burning any fat. This is exactly one method taught and emphasized by Isabel De Los Rios’s diet solution.

This Claim is = TRUE

Negative Reviews about The Diet Solution:

It’s a general consensus that medical related work should have verifiable ethically written references. Medical claims should be backed by evidence based and peer reviewed work with verifiable sources. Isabel De Los Rios forgot to write her sources of evidence. However, there are thousands of positive reviews and testimonials

Positive Reviews:

The Diet program has so many users and thousands of positive testimonials than any online weight loss program I have ever seen. With this kind of success, there is no doubt that the program works and delivers results.

Personal Path to Pregnancy Review

Millions of families are incomplete today, many hearts are hurting and many dreams are yet to be fulfilled due to infertility. “I am over 40 already and I have been trying since I was in 20’s” — one woman said in Houston Texas. “I stand no chance of having a baby at 39 years old” another lady from New Jersey emailed Beth Kiley, author of Personal path to pregnancy.

Beth Kiley started her journey to discovery of some of the most amazing infertility remedies that no doctor had ever told her about. She had been to dozens of gynecologists and genetist but none of them offered her a solution. Many had told her that her time was up for having a baby but in her relentless quest to fulfillment, Beth Kiley discovered some of the easiest yet effective remedies to infertility, even if the doctor has told you that you cannot have a baby.

When I read Beth Kiley sales letter in personal path to pregnancy, by the time I read the first 3 paragraphs, I scrolled town and clicked the order button to buy the product. To my surprise, I was found natural remedies plus others you can buy one simple over the counter flu medication and the next thing you know is “you are pregnant”

I have been blessed with a baby girl but I purchased Beth Kiley product so that I can read it and review it. S a Registered Nurse, I applied the medical knowledge and the experience I have to evaluate of personal path to pregnancy works or it is a scam. In this review I will tell you what I found inside personal path to pregnancy.

Personal path to pregnancy is a 63 pages long ebook that contains well crafted information on how to get pregnant even if all the gynecologists you have visited told you there is no way possible. Without wasting time, I will go straight into the ebook chapters.

Beth Kiley start chapter 2 with very basic facts and principles that anyone can implement and get pregnant. In fact, they are so simple that she calls them Personal Path to Pregnancy ABC’s. Buth personal path to pregnancy is not one sided sword. She gives advice to both man and woman and if it is all done right, conceiving is almost guaranteed. You just have to do it right and you will conceive.

Personal Path to Pregnancy Chapter 3 Review

In this chapter, Beth Kiley teaches about ovulation basics and how timing can mean everything. Using the traditional method of basal metabolic temperature (BMR) is by far very inaccurate because it only tells you after ovulation have occurred. With Personal Path to Pregnancy, you will discover the right time to have sex in synchrony with your specific health and cycle such that your ovulation will happen when sperms are ready.

Personal path to pregnancy will also tell you how you can get a boy or a girl naturally without going for any medical procedures. Sometimes, it could be the dinner you had last night before having sex that can determine if it is a boy or a girl. You should get this ebook.

Personal Path to Pregnancy Chapter 4 Review

When I was reviewing this chapter, I started feeling that Beth Kiley should have charged more for this product.  In chapter 4, she got in to the depth of explaining more little things that we take for granted.

• Discover small dietary changes that you can make to catapult your fertility without going to the grocery store. These modifications are simple and it is just a matter of doing it right and get pregnant.

Even more, discover which foods improve cervical mucus viscosity to allow sperm passage to the egg and get pregnant. Sometimes, it could be your body acting against incoming sperms!

Personal Path to Pregnancy Chapter 5, 6, & 7 Reviews

These chapters are the real climax of Beth Kiley Personal Path to Pregnancy. I will leave these 3 chapters for you to read. What I have already reviewed in the first 4 chapters could be the reason why you still can’t get pregnant. These facts constitute for more than 80% of the so called, infertility couples.

Note that in the next 3 chapters, you will also discover what makes male sperms useless. What makes them die fast as soon as they are produced, what makes them get rejected by female body and get killed instantly. Discover how small modifications can change it all and make you pregnant.
