It could also be attributable to elevated ammonia levels in his blood caused by liver dysfunction. My aunt had this, when it was at its worst she couldn't recognize anyone in the family and made absolutely no sense. Other times it was almost like she was drinking again, she had that not quite in the here-and-now thing going on.

I generally don't carry a purse, but when I do I like the crossbody ones Baggallini sells. They come in lots of different sizes and configurations, and some are made in such a way that you wouldn't ever have to take it off, even when sitting or driving. Maybe something like that would work.

Another thing to consider is where she would like to work after graduation. The best way to get a job in the hospital of choice post graduation is to get a job there as a student nurse while still in school. And the best way to get a student nursing job is to have done clinicals in that hospital, because they function as an extended job interview. So if your daughter has her heart set on working in a specific city or hospital look for a school that offers a BSN, has good NCLEX pass rates, and has clinicals in a hospital or area she might want to work in post graduation. Another thing, not all clinicals are created equal. Some schools never send their students to a full-day clinical. Some don't let the students actually do much but observe and pass water. Others provide a much better experience, especially teaching hospitals. Our local nursing school doesn't do a full-day clinical until the last semester of senior year. The rest of the time students only go in for half a shift, and then they aren't actually allowed to do much, because they have to have their clinical instructor present for any procedures they perform. So a class of 20 will come with 1 clinical instructor for 6 hours twice a week, you can guess how that goes. I've worked with some new grads who didn't know how to do basic things, like start an IV, put in a catheter, etc. All they had been allowed to do was observe because they could never get the clinical instructor's attention when the chance to try a procedure occurred.

It's averaging $2.05 here in southwestern Indiana. Lowest around here is Sam's Club at $1.95, highest is the small Mom and Pop shop at $2.17.

Typically when an electric oven is on the "bake" setting the bottom element does around 90% of the heating, the top element only comes on for the other 10%. I would guess that the cupcakes that are burning are the ones nearest the bottom element. I was always told not to open the oven for the first 20 min. of a cakes bake time to ensure that it rises the way its supposed to. Since that's most of a cupcakes bake time I would just bake one tray at a time on the center rack, unless you can fit both on the center rack at once.

Do you have an electric oven that heats from the top, or a gas one that heats from the bottom up? If it's heating from the bottom up maybe moving the rack higher in the oven would help. You say that not all of them burn the same amount, could the pan itself have a problem? What happens if you use a different pan?

Would something like these work? There are several different color pack options. They've got 4.5 stars on Amazon.

What temperature did you bake them at? And for how long?

Well, there is the ACR (albumin to Creatinine Ratio), aka a urinalysis, which is an urine test that looks for the protein albumin in the urine. Having albumin in the urine can be a sign that the kidneys aren't filtering properly. There is the Creatinine blood test which measures the amount of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine comes from the muscles and is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. An elevated creatinine shows that the kidneys aren't working well enough. The creatinine value is often used in a math formula to come up with the GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) which tells the doctor how well the kidneys are working overall. Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head, but really, unless your numbers are really high I wouldn't get too worked up over one set of lab tests. I would make sure to point them out to the cardiologist because the kidneys can effect the heart and vice versa.

A high bicarbonate indicates that your blood is too alkaline. Bicarb is a form of CO2 that is produced in your body as part of its normal operation. Typically most of the bicarb produced is exhaled out through the lungs during expiration, while the rest is removed by the kidneys. A high bicarb level can indicate that some type of COPD lung issue present, or that the kidneys aren't working quite right. The Blood Urea Nitrogen test looks at how much nitrogen from the waste product urea is in your blood. A high BUN can indicate that the kidneys aren't working properly. But, and this is a big but, both of these tests are very sensitive to being dehydrated. So while it can show that there may be a kidney issue (among other things) you'd need repeat labs done under better controlled circumstances to be sure it wasn't just dehydration at the time of testing. Additionally, some medications can cause these values to be off as well. Loop diuretics, for example, can make the bicarb too high. The RDW-CV test measures the size variability of the red blood cells. A high number is typically seen with anemia. You'd need the actual numbers plus the MCV (mean corpuscular volume) number to make much sense of it though. Again, this is a test that can be affected to some extent by dehydration, though not a much as the other two. Unless your values were really high I wouldn't worry about it too much. I hope this helps a little. I know how frustrating/frightening heart issues can be, but hopefully you'll be able to see a cardiologist soon who will shed some light on things.

Yes, 9000 is a lot. Like, a lot a lot. You absolutely need further testing to try to figure out what is causing this, you should push to get into a cardiologist asap. Did your PCP do any blood chemistry testing? If so, what were you're electrolytes like? PVCs can be caused by wonky electrolytes, and if that's the cause it can be a relatively easy fix. If it's not it would be good to know that before seeing a cardiologist. If it's going to be a long wait to get into a cardiologist I would recommend going on whatever meds you PCP recommends.

I had prime student, but when it was time to renew it I would have had to upgrade to prime regular. It just wasn't worth it for me. We refuse to pay for the internet speed you'd need to stream much, we don't watch much tv (and when we do it's over-the-air), and when we want a movie we just buy it on dvd. Plus, when I went back and looked at how much I had actually bought it wasn't enough to bother with keeping it.

Well, I'm 5' 10" and I sleep just fine in a regular length full size bed. Assuming he isn't going to be sharing with anyone/thing that is also the size of an adult human I shouldn't think you'd need an XL full bed. If it were me I'd probably go with a regular full size and get some new bedding, and maybe a waterproof fitted mattress cover for peace of mind. With a full he should have room for himself (curled or straight) and a largish furry friend. Most mattresses I've seen that were subjected to normal wear lasted 6-10 years. Just don't get a really cheap one. And don't get a euro top, you can't flip them and as soon as the pillow top gets mashed down they're hard and lumpy.

My mother, the RN, says that if it is reddened, swollen, and/or warm to the touch it is likely a clot and you should head to the ER. If it isn't those things you should call your regular doctor to apprise them of the situation. They may very well tell you to come in to the office, or they may send you to the ER. But she says you shouldn't ignore it or wait very long before seeking medical advice from a doctor because if it is a clot it will get worse and could break off and move somewhere really bad, like your lungs. Also, don't rub it or manhandle the area because if it is a clot that could cause it to move.

I like Donna Klein's books. They're vegan, but they have really good recipes that don't rely on any fake "meat". They're also pretty easy to make.

Mairelon the Magician and its sequel Magician's Ward (Patricia Wrede) The Tiffany Aching Books by Terry Pratchett (starts with The Wee Free Men) Most of Terry Pratchett's books have strong female characters, whether they're the main protagonists or not.

The Wolverine converter I linked to upthread should handle 35mm slides and 8mm film. The thing about VHS to digital converters is that some of them only convert to mp4 or mpeg file formats, which most DVD players can't play. DVD players use the Video_TS format so you have to make sure that the converter you choose saves to the formats you need. Some have several options to pick from and some only have a couple. This one on Amazon will let you save to DVD, MPEG2, MPEG4, and MP3: Diamond VC500 One Touch Converter You should also know that most VHS to digital converters require you to have a VCR to play the tapes on while you are converting, and the conversion happens in real time, so if the movie is 2 hours long it will take 2 hours to convert it.

You need a film to digital converter for the picture negatives. Wolverine makes some very popular ones, like this: Wolverine 8 in 1 film scanner As for the home movies it really depends on what format they're in now. Are they VHS tapes, super 8mm, 8mm, or what? And are you just wanting them on the computer, or do you want to burn them to DVD?

I've made this vegan GF pumpkin pie before and it was good. It makes it's own crust and is really easy to put together. Just make sure you use the rice flour the it calls for, other kinds just don't work as well. https://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/10/and-answer-is.html

If it's been over 1 year since you had any bleeding you need to see an ob/gyn. Bleeding after more than 1 year without can be serious.

The university was really pushing the idea that we were a forward thinking modern school with lots of technology and online learning. It wasn't really true so they pushed most of the faculty into listing their courses as hybrid and then forcing them to incorporate some sort of online "learning," even when it made no sense for the course. Additionally, many of the older faculty had no idea how to actually use the tech, so they just made up some kind of discussion board thing and made people turn papers in online (and then printed them off to grade). But the class was listed as hybrid so it counted for the statistics. Now there are a lot more completely online classes so they've backed off a little on the hybrid thing.

Regarding the online components, at my university any class that had students do anything online at all were labeled as hybrid online courses. Much of the time all we did with the blackboard side of things was turn in papers, post a few things on the discussion board, and occasionally take an online quiz. If he is really concerned about it I would have him email the prof and ask what exactly students are expected to do online.

How far apart are the walls in her bedroom. Most of the Mayan style hammocks I've seen people use as bed replacements require about 12ft. as the minimum distance needed for proper hanging. Also, has she, or you, looked into the proper way to lay in one for sleeping? It's not always that easy to get out of in a hurry.

Actually, white trash bags might be a better choice. According to research done some time ago bed bugs prefer dark red and black over bright white and yellow. A bright white hardshell luggage would probably be optimal, but that's not so easy to find. Here is an article about it: https://www.cnn.com/2016/04/25/health/bedbugs-dark-color-sheets/index.html Just an FYI, that link has a lot of pictures of bed bugs if that bothers anyone.
