Medical Brief
Blood donation requirements
Requirements for blood donors vary somewhat from one state to another, but there are general guidelines established by the Red Cross. In most instances donors should be 17 or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in good health.
Nerve injuries and sympathetic pain
Nerves are the “electrical wiring” system in all people that carry messages from the brain to the rest of the body. Nerves are fragile and may be damaged or injured by pressure, stretching, or cutting.
Thrusting the tongue
Intense prolonged thrusting of the tongue, or forcing the tongue forward against the front upper teeth, can have adverse effects on the development of your child's teeth or jaw.
Insurance coverage for periodontics
Dental insurance reimburses you for certain dental expenses according to a written contract that your employer has with an insurance company. As most dental disease is preventable, dental insurance rewards you for practicing preventive measures such as regular checkups and professional cleanings.
Liver spot removal
So-called liver or age spots are typically flat, brown marks up to an inch in diameter. They're the result of concentrated amounts of the skin pigment melanin (MEHL-uh-nihn).
