How will Nuclear Medicine careers in the future look?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

I was planning to go into Nuclear Medicine but the medical director the school I planned to go to said that Nuclear Medicine might not be the best thing now. Sure pay is great but job held over the years were small. They might put nuclear medicine in the hands of say, medical assistants or sonographers to do it.

Would anyone know if Nuclear Medicine would be a good choice for plenty of jobs after i graduate in around 3 year? What do you think about radiology?

It looks fascinating. Stick with whatever you want to do. No training is wasted.
From an old UK BMJ…

But your medical director could have a point (the BMJ was from 2004 I think)

What medicine works best for curing a cold?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

My brother is starting to get a cold and cannot afford to get sick right now. What medicine works best for curing the beginning symptoms of a cold.

Don’t mention Zicam because that causes a loss of smell.

For me as soon as I start to sneeze and I know I am coming down with a cold I take the Homeopathic Medicine Arsenicum Alb 200 and repaet it every 2 hours usually just three doses suffice in nipping the cold in the bud. Best medicine money can buy.

Best regards

What medicine has the side effect of causing increased body heat?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Long story but what medicine would casue an increased body temperature? Like warm to the touch.

Quite a few.

Caffeine (we don’t normally consider that a medicine per se) can cause increase in body temp as a function of increased heartbeat.

Pseudoephedrine can cause similar effects.

So can antipsychotics, via a rare but serious side effect called neuroleptic malignant syndrome whereby the person develops muscle rigidity and high body temp.

Can different fish medicine be used on the same water?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I mean if I already use the "white spot" medicine in the aquarium, can I use other kind of medicine for example "gill parasite" medicine in the same aquarium without changing the water? Or do I have to change the water first to use the medicine.

Because I found out it wasn’t a white spot disease or itch on my fish, it was a gill disease, so I need to treat it with gill medicine.

Please help!
And yes the color of the white spot medicine is dark blue, while the color of the gill medicine is dark red. Will it be bad if they mix together?

P.S I used the white spot medicine yesterday, and the water turn clear again.

It depends on what you are using. Typically Mardel products can be used together. You should do some Internet research on the product you are using and try to find out that way, or ask a reputable pet store what they would recommend. I would find someone who specializes in aquariums instead of petsmart or petco type stores.

If you did happen to use the Mardel, I would do a 50% water change and start treating with the other meds.

I have had an aquarium for a number of years now, but am by no means a professional so please contact a reputable aquarium shop and ask for assistance.

Good Luck
