Every year, many lives are lost because of the spread of infections in hospitals. Health care workers can take steps to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. These steps are part of infection control.

Proper hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. If you are a patient, don't be afraid to remind friends, family and health care providers to wash their hands before getting close to you.

Other steps health care workers can take include

Covering coughs and sneezes
Staying up-to-date with immunizations
Using gloves, masks and protective clothing
Making tissues and hand cleaners available
Following hospital guidelines when dealing with blood or contaminated items

Open Question: Wondering if my Mom's end is near? (Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:34:34 GMT)
I posted a little while ago asking about my mom. She's a longtime diabetic and has had Multiple Myeloma for close to 8 years now. Just after the new year she was hospitalized with pneumonia. We were told to be on standby for her to pass, amazingly, she recovered only days later to be told a diabetic infection in her leg was out of control and would require amputation. She had her right leg cut off above the knee. At this time, I traveled to her fearing she wouldn't survive the surgery or h

Open Question: Is anal intercourse dangerous or damaging? (Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:40:31 GMT)
Several individuals regardless or gender or sexual orientation enjoy some form of anal intercourse or stimulation. I am curious about the health risks of the action beyond the same as regular intercourse (meaning STD's). It is my understanding that if done with protection or kept relatively clean the risk of any infection would be drastically reduced but I've heard horror stories of rectal failure and damage causing permanent loss of bowel control and stuff like that. Is that truly the case or

I started Loestrin in August just for birth control reasons. My boyfriend and I have sex and I noticed that since starting the pill, I'm not as wet or as excited. I seem to be more volatile as far as moods go. I have also been battling a terrible yeast infection which comes back after every period.

Overall, the number of people testing positive for HIV in Saskatchewan is stabilizing, but health officials are noticing a disturbing increase in the number of teenagers who are contracting the disease. What's more, the teens are not developing HIV from the more common source — intravenous drug use. Instead, they are contracting it from unprotected sex. "These individuals that we're talking about are 14-, 15-, 16-year-olds," said Nicole White, executive director of AIDS Saskatoon. "It's some

Resolved Question: Is Marbofloxacin/Clotrimazole Ear Drops Ok for Kittens? (Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:35:48 GMT)
My kitten has ringworm. It's all around her head. The fungal/yeast infection is also inside her ears. The vet gave me oral itraconazole liquid for her to take with her food, and clotrimazole cream to rub on her head, but he didn't give me anything to put on the inside of her ears. The inside of her ears look really disgusting, clearly a yeast/fungal infection, but I read online that you should NOT put clotrimazole cream in a cat's ears.

Besides the obvious: rampant infection. I'm wondering more about internal implications of having no immune system. I've read that it is vital for precluding and controlling the growth of tumors, that kinda thing - so, I'm not exploring health complications from infection by an external agent, but from the absence of the functions the immune system serves internally. I'm working on researching this myself, but wouldn't mind input from someone who might know more about this than I do. Examples

I need opinions from either doctors or people who have gone through similar troubles.

I had an operation to remove what I believe was a majority of the kidney. Post-surgery years went quite well, and gradually the ultrasounds showed a fully healthy kidney. I was shortly dismissed from further checkups. Lately, for about the past three years or so,
