IVC Filters May Have Deadly Complications Inferior vena cava filters, or IVC filters, are implanted in individuals who cannot safely take blood thinners in order to prevent clots from traveling to the lungs. These filters are designed to catch any clots and allow them time to safely dissipate. The FDA has received many reports of complications from retrievable IVC filters. The filters have punctured organs, migrated to other parts of the body, and fractured. As a result, the FDA has issued…

MSG, has been approved by the FDA as "generally recognized as safe" for amounts used in cooking; however, numerous anecdotal reports have suggested that some people may have reactions such as headaches, sweating, numbness around the mouth, rapid heartbeat, and/or nausea. Just to be on the safe side, this is one additive that I would rather steer clear of. And if that doesn't convince you, remember that deep frying the nuggets transforms naturally lean chicken into a meal heavily laden with 17 g…

show you are dehydrated, and it's important to know them to avoid aggravating the situation any further. These symptoms include nausea, dizziness, muscle cramps, vomiting, dry mouth, lack of sweating, a lightheaded feeling, and even hard and fast heartbeats. In case of severe dehydration, the symptoms are different, and they include sudden weakness, mental confusion, and loss of consciousness. In case any of these symptoms appear, get emergency medical attention as fast as you can, or else the…

control is not letting God take control. She also said that some birth controls were basically a constant chemical in the body that causes miscarriages. What my classmates thought when life starts also surprised me. Some thought life started when the heartbeat starts and the majority of the class said they think life starts at conception. The lady talking to us had said even scientific research shows that life starts at conception. An unexpected thing was when she said that people come in…

knew he'd taken a risk, and waited while he held his breath for some indication of Zara's displeasure. When she did speak he was surprised, shocked almost, but quickly settled into realizing it was the truth. For the both of them. He could hear her heartbeat and tell the veracity of her words. Amarok too had regrets about how they'd last parted, and to hear that Zara did as well sent a wave of relief through him. The way her fingers grabbed and gripped his fur almost seemed to ground him in the…

It went from Rosaline to Juliet in a heartbeat. Romeo thought she was beautiful the second he saw her. He said, “Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” (I v 52-53). Because Romeo’s impulsiveness leads him into taking extreme actions, he goes…

Many Americans heard the call. Many Americas stood tall. All gave some. Some gave all. Sacrifices made by the men and women serving our nation on the frontlines of battlefields around the world and at home earned them the name, “The Greatest Generation”. This name was bestowed upon them for their unrelenting patriotism. I am referring to the men and women of the WW II era who braved dangers and performed deeds to defend the US Constitution and the American way of life. They accepted…

memories with my father. One might think it would be hard to kill your parents but for me, it was as easy as breathing. I looked the bastard in the face, my knife was hovering above his stomach, I witnessed his eyes begin to flutter open and in a heartbeat I summon all my strength and slam the knife down into his stomach, his eyes open and before he begins to open his mouth, I cover it with a nearby pillow using his hand. I look over and see my mom is still asleep, I slice upwards towards his…

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “the Birth Mark” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Both have many connecting elements, especially the theme of “Strength as their own destruction.” In both stories the protagonist has an obsession that leads to their demise. They both take pride in things that cause fatalities in their lives. And last, they both take these two reasons as justification for playing God. I believe that the characters have a considerable amount of pride in their abilities that they…
