Selecting “high risk” group for screening for diabetes is important, because if selected properly it can give rich dividends by detecting diabetes at low cost. Detecting diabetes by screening is easy and further evaluation can be done if diabetes is detected in screening.]]> http://healthnhealth.net/how-important-is-screening-for-diabetes/feed/ 0 http://healthnhealth.net/dosing-instructions-of-percocet/ http://healthnhealth.net/dosing-instructions-of-percocet/#comments Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:20:51 +0000 admin http://healthnhealth.net/?p=205 Acetaminophen overdose can cause liver toxicity, especially in individuals with G6PD (Glocose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, an important enzyme in glucose metabolism) deficiency, which is more common among Americans and Europeans. The dose of acetaminophen should not be more than 1000 mg per (1 gram) dose and 4,000 mg (4 gram) per day and the usual dose is 500 mg 3 or 4 times a day. The maximum amount of acetaminophen present in Percocet is of 650 mg (usually 325 mg of acetaminophen is combined with 5 mg of oxycodone).

If you are a regular drinker of alcohol who drinks more than three drinks a day or if you have history of alcoholic liver disease such as cirrhosis of liver you should not take acetaminophen.]]> http://healthnhealth.net/know-percocet-well-before-using/feed/ 0 http://healthnhealth.net/buying-nursing-scrubs-online/ http://healthnhealth.net/buying-nursing-scrubs-online/#comments Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:11:04 +0000 admin http://healthnhealth.net/?p=201 Shopping (including nursing scrubs if you are a nursing professional) has become easier due to the availability of online stores and shops, where you can buy practically anything.

Narcotic pain relievers should always be used with caution, as they have addiction liability, although the addiction liability of oxycodone is much less in compare to opioid analgesics such as morphine. Acetaminophen is also a commonly used pain reliever, although it is less potent analgesic. But when combined with oxycodone, it (acetaminophen) improves the pain relieving property of oxycodone. But the most common use of acetaminophen is in fever to bring down body temperature. Acetaminophen is arguably the best antipyretic (which lower body temperature in fever) drug.]]> http://healthnhealth.net/know-about-percocet/feed/ 0 http://healthnhealth.net/medical-scrubs-in-healthcare/ http://healthnhealth.net/medical-scrubs-in-healthcare/#comments Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:52:25 +0000 admin http://healthnhealth.net/?p=188 Medical scrubs also bring the sense of dignity and responsibility for service to the person wearing it.
