What does it mean when someone is septic?
Answers:
A systemic infection, or the bacteria or virus is circulating throughout his body carried by blood. It means he is in critical condition right now and pray that his immune system can overcome the infection.By the way, contrary to what Emerson and sweettask said, sepsis is so much different from septic shock! Sepsis is the condition of having bacteremia or viremia, and shock is the late-stage respond of the body to the sepsis. In sepsis, your heart rate is fast, blood pressure and breathing maybe normal. But in septic shock, your heart may even stop beating, breathing is labored and blood pressure goes down, in short, spetic shock is a near-dying condition, while sepsis is just being sick. Get it?
it means that whatever their original infection was ..is now in the blood stream
its systemic
They have an infection that puts their body into shock.
Their body is toxic. Do you know what a septic tank or septic system is? Waste products (poop and pee/dirty).
Wow, 'septic' like septic tank? the stuff that flushes out of your toilet..septic? They must be full of sh*it.
If you mean 'skeptic'? Non- believer! Not easily convinced.
It means a local infection just spread through the whole body.
Septic typically refers to Septic Shock which is a toxic infection which causes the body to go into shock. For instance, if you were swimming in dirty water and obtained a laceration to your leg, the bacteria from the water could then enter your bloodstream sending you into septic shock.This could lead to bradycardia and cause the liver to fail.
skeptic-one who doubts,questions,or disagree
with what someone says/does..
Septic shock is caused by cytokines (substances made by the immune system to fight an infection (see Biology of the Immune System: Cytokines) and by the toxins produced by some bacteria. These substances cause the blood vessels to widen (dilate), which results in a drop in blood pressure. Consequently, blood flow to vital organs鈥攑articularly the kidneys and brain鈥攊s reduced. This reduction in blood flow occurs despite the body's attempts to compensate by increasing both the heart rate and the volume of blood pumped. Eventually, the toxins and the increased work of pumping weaken the heart, resulting in a decreased output of blood and even poorer blood flow to vital organs. The walls of the blood vessels may leak, allowing fluid to escape from the bloodstream into tissues and causing swelling. Leakage and swelling can develop in the lungs, causing difficulty breathing (respiratory distress). early symptoms may include a shaking chill; a rapid rise in temperature; warm, flushed skin; a rapid, pounding pulse; excessively rapid breathing; and blood pressure that rises and falls. Urinary output decreases. Tissues with poor blood flow release excess lactic acid into the bloodstream, causing the blood to become more acidic, which results in malfunction of many different organs. In later stages, the body temperature often falls below normal.As septic shock worsens, several organs may fail. For example, the kidneys may fail, resulting in very low or no urine output and the accumulation of metabolic waste products (such as urea nitrogen) in the blood. The lungs may fail, resulting in breathing difficulties and a reduction in the level of oxygen in the blood. The heart may fail, resulting in fluid retention and swelling of tissues. Additionally, blood clots may form inside blood vessels.As soon as symptoms of septic shock are apparent, the person must be admitted to an intensive care unit for treatment. Large amounts of fluid are given intravenously to increase the blood pressure. Drugs are given to increase blood flow to the brain, heart, and other organs. Extra oxygen is given. If the lungs fail, the person may need a mechanical ventilator to help breathing.High doses of intravenous antibiotics are given as soon as blood samples have been taken for laboratory cultures. Until the laboratory identifies the infecting bacteria, two or more antibiotics are usually given together to increase the chances of killing the bacteria.
someone is septic if the infection in his body has already spread or it is very severe already due to immune response.
In plain English it means they have blood poisoning. To be more descriptive, it means that an infection has entered the blood stream.
Sepsis- A morbid condition resulting from the presence of pathogenic bacteria and their products.-septic, adj.
Sepsis is infection with pus forming bacteria.
What does it mean when a US patent application ipublished and publicly available to others?
What additional steps are necessary to have the patent approved by the US patent office?
Answers:
If the patent is published it means that it is under review by a patent examiner, but you don't have your patent yet. Since it published the rest of the world can read what you are going to patent. This happens to all patents. The examiner is now comparing your claims to the prior art (other patents) and will rule judgment on what claims are allowed to you. If you are lucky you get all the claims right away and the patent is granted. Typically you, your patent lawyer, and the examiner will go through rounds of examinations where your claims are reduced in number and scope until it is unique and not covered by prior art. Could take years to finish depending on what is claimed.
the best road to take is to get a patent lawyer
or u could sell ur soul and have every thing u want
When it is published, you can say Patent Pending. You have to negotiate with the patent examiners to get final approval, especially as to the claims.

What does it mean when a doctor writes in their notes that someone is a "difficult historian"?
My 2yr old daughter has failure to thrive, fed through a tube, wont eat and she sees several specialists. I feel they are pointing the finger at me, with no real answers.
Answers:
When trying to figure out what is going on in a medical case, the doctor may sometimes have trouble documenting the whole story. So, he or she will instead have to document that they are having trouble getting the whole story. So, they will sometimes write that the patient is a "poor historian" meaning they don't keep track of what is going on with their health, or a "difficult historian" meaning that getting the full story is difficult. You will help your daughter if you patiently give the whole story, even when you are asked again and again. Good luck.
It means the patients can't get their story straight, tells it different ways several times, can't remember things, isn't certain of what happened, can't answer questions right, etc.

What does it mean if your tampon never stays in?
My girlfriend told us the other day that the whole time she has been wearing tampons, they have always slipped out. We laughed at first, but after realizing she was serious, we threw out our ideas. I suggested that she wasn't pushing it in far enough. She said that she pushes it in as far as it will go. Another friend.yes, a friend, said her p** was blown out and that was why. Is this a possibility? Our friend said it was like this even before she had sex. Let us know.
Answers:
Its unlikely to have anything to do with sex.Some women have very short vaginal length and thus there isnt good room for a tampon. Also some women - and myself included in this - have a slightly different hip and pelvic angle, which causes the tampon to want to slide forward. With my hip angles I'm more likely to have them slip during the day when I'm walking than at night when I'm laying down. It is unlikely she will ever get a tampon to stay in place correctly and should consider either pads or "cups" (menses cup) to use in place of a tampon if they cause her problems.
u should probally get that checked out but it might be to slippery
It's possible she is using the smallest absorbency of a tampon and needs to switch to the bigger ones, I have actually had that happen the the small ones when it was well..full.
she or you need a larger size or you have been placing the entire tampon in. that includes applicator.
ITS TOO BLOODY
Like eveyone said use a larger one!
Youve been around the block a few times. Like feeding a tic tac to a whale.

What does it mean if urinary catecholamine levels are elevated?
Answers:
Detection of abnormal catecholamine levels and localization of tumor mass are important factors in the diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma.^Iodine 131-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy was performed in 64 patients with suspected pheochromocytoma if their urinary catecholamine levels were borderline or elevated, or if the clinical suspicion for pheochromocytoma was high in spite of normal urinary catecholamine determinations.^The 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scans were evaluated for abnormal localization of tracer.^Twenty-four-hour urine collections were analyzed for vanillylmandelic acid, homovanillic acid, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.^Thirty of the 64 patients had pheochromocytomas.^The 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scan had a sensitivity and a specificity of 88%.^The 24-hour urine vanillylmandelic acid and norepinephrine measurements had the best sensitivity (97%), while the vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid measurements had the best specificity (91%).^In patients in whom the vanillylmandelic acid measurement and the 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scan were normal, no pheochromocytomas were found.^In patients in whom the vanillylmandelic acid measurement and 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scan were abnormal, a pheochromocytoma was always present.^The 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scan often documents the presence or absence of a pheochromocytoma and provides localization of the tumor in the preoperative evaluation of these patients.
look it up, then ask your doctor
Stop looking for medical advice on the internet. There are a lot of crackpots here. Ask a doctor
There are a number of things that could cause elevated urinary catecholamines. One thing that comes quickly to mind is a pheochromocytoma, but that's hardly the only possibility.Unfortunately, since this is a somewhat generic lab result, there isn't a quick and easy answer to your question. You really need to sit down with your doctor and talk about what might be going on.Don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions, and be persistent until you understand what is going on.Hope this helps!
What does it mean If I dream that I can fly in a dream?
I have just read some questions and answers about dreams in which people fly. But I have a much strange situation.I used to dream about falling into a very deep space from my bed.It was scary for me. But this was all 4 or 5 years back. These days I dreAM ABOUT FLYING. I could fly if i make a peculiar move with my legs.I dream very often about this. I wander around my university and frnds places. So used to think I should probably talk to a psychiatrist or something about my dream(just for fun). But then I had this strange dream. I was having a dream in my dream. I went to a psychiatrist to discuss my dream (in a dream).She heard my dream,took me to a open place and asked me to try flying. And to my wonder I was able to fly again in front of her. I would like to know if anyone can tell what all this means. I am even more interested in knowing if this means any significant change in my attitude and life. Is this kind of dream good?
thanks for replying
Answers:
Flying almost always means that you are feeling satisfaction and confidence in your real life.Whatever's going on right now--good on ya'!
You are taking control of your life.
Good Dream for sure! Kool isn't it?
Hope that you can have this dream throughout your life..a tremendous feeling of freedom, isn't it? Supposedly, has to do with running your own show, common to those who are starting on their own trail away from the home they have always known. Dream on.
You are a very pure person, you have a very strong sole which allows you in your dreams to fly, get red of your body and navigate around, that is very good and it will affect your whole life don't worry
Dreams are generally simply recollections of our day. Have you been doing any one thing the same each day?It is also thought that dreams are linked to emotion. Have you been feeling the same way for a while?In my opionion,
1)It's prolly nothing.
2)It rocks to fly in dreams!PS:Few people dream a lot, few dream in color, so.
Don't ever fly in front of your pshychiatrist again. She'll just find a way to make it not fun anymore. I also reccommend that if you try flying while you're awake that you start where no one can see you, or else they'll laugh at you for acting wierd.
In my flying dream I can sometimes take of from standing still but I can also build up momentum by running before I leap into the air. That seems to work better for the times that I need to escape from the wolves that are chasing me. Also I have a fear of heights when I sleep (not when I'm awake) so I try to fly higher and higher to get over my fear. Cause it is pretty stinkin' fun to be able to fly around like that.
Wow.a dream in a dream. That's really interesting. I wonder if that means you have more control over your dreams (or perhaps even your life) than you had previously thought. Dreaming dreams in your dreams seems like maybe you'd think you were dreaming your life away. Like maybe you're in such a deep sleep as to have to recover twice. haha I think that's interesting your ability to recall your dreams and the flying aspect is of equal interest. I think it's a very interesting top that you should delve further into if you're really interested. Worst case scenario you have fun figuring out what Sigmund Freud might have thought about it haha. Have fun and good luck!

What does it feel like to die?
Answers:
None of us have a clue.. because we are alive. My mother" almost died".. she had an internal injury.. and she said she felt complete peace. I guess.. thats a good thing.
i dont think anyone really knows that..
Since dead people can't login to Yahoo! Answers, there's no way to really know.
I dont know but i really dont want know untill im 98.
2 lose your life
ur body gos cold and numb. Ur vision fades and ur mind shuts down. All ur lifes moments falsh across ur brainwithin a few seconds-ur family,friends,god and bad things-evrything!!.Lol. dont try it..
One of two:A. If you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you feel extraordinary joy,B. If you don't know Him, unfathomable terror.
I'm not sure if I'm the right person to tell you that.
Nothing. You are dead.
People say when you are dying your whole life flashes in front of you. I guess that's right, knowing that you won't be here anymore makes you think about all the things you did since you were a kid, and you do that remembering without you knowing it.
well from personal experience.. ______________________________.
