How did the good OHS group compare to the better group?

Also it said mouthwash didn’t make a difference on top of just having good oral hygiene

Reply to What color are cancer cells? by jennlara
It can be lots of different colors! Some of them can appear off-white/yellowish.
If you aren't squeamish, go to Google images and search "______ cancer gross pathology " (e.g., breast cancer gross pathology). In this context, gross means what's visible to the naked eye -- though some may think it's just gross lol.

It very much depends on the type of cancer! For an easy example: if you develop mesothelioma and have a solid exposure history to asbestos, they will attribute it to that. For cervical cancer, we are pretty good at telling if it’s HPV-related or not. If you get an odd cancer and have no other risk factors other than your exposure history, it will be listed as a possible or probable contributor in the notes provably.

Reply to comment by nothingtoseehere____ in When pharmaceutical companies develop new prescription drugs, do they test every method of delivery to the human body? For example, injected, orally, topically, rectally, etc? by scottyboy218
I meant tested (by the companies) and then approved (by the fda). I know lol.

The answer is no, they don’t. Those modalities are tested and approved by the FDA individually.

Alcohol is probably the most common reason patients get a liver transplant. They just have to quit drinking to be eligible

The amount of blood your heart pumps is called cardiac output, and it’s equal to the stroke volume (how much blood your heart pumps out with each beat) times your heart rate. A fit heart will be stronger so can produce a higher stroke volume, so a lower heart rate is required to meet your body’s demand for blood/oxygen. Fit people also have vasculature with lower resistance, so your heart doesn’t have to overcome as much resistance as well.

Reply to comment by scoliendo in How does vasoconstriction reduce blood pressure in haemostasis? by scoliendo
The blood flow doesn’t have to go to 0, just reduced. But also, depending on the part of the body, you don’t need constant circulation. Your legs can go 6-8 hours with no circulation and still survive.

The blood can go through more than just that blood vessel. If you have 2 vessels in parallel and one gets injured and constricts, the resistance in that vessel will increase. In that way, more blood will flow through the other vessel and less blood will flow through the injured vessel.

Alcohol is a depressant. When you are withdrawing, your nervous system is over activated. So you can have tachycardia, hypertension, tremors, etc.

It literally says “a crucial BUILDING BLOCK of life” was found. Not that life was found.
