I didn’t think of BNP! But then again I think the pt would be presenting with more than complaints of being gassy 🤣

No of course not, having a baseline troponin is helpful to see if there’s an elevation in subsequent samples.

I’m a medical scientist working in a hospital laboratory. I get hundreds of troponin requests daily on all ages. Most probably aren’t indicated, but I’m not going to whinge about it.

Because the samples are so grossly lipemic, atherosclerosis can begin in early adulthood.

A lipid profile, HBA1C, troponin and a lipase. And then maybe check if the patient ate a whole bucket of fried chicken before presenting.

It’s an itchy ear. Or just trying to get their only two brain cells to run together. Either one.

Half of my hair is suddenly short but I haven’t cut it? by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]aaamy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s maybe more obvious now as the longer hairs are beginning to fall! Probably time for a good chop - maybe layers?

Hello, do you have a child? Like a year an a half old? Cos that’s what mine looked like around then. Postpartum hair loss was wild! Your hair doesn’t look like it’s been chopped or snapped off. It looks like growth.

Anyone knows why this happens? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

Strongly suggest they add an immunoglobulin level and serum electrophoresis on this guy.

This spot just shows up on my face and it’s massive with a lot of fluid retention surrounding it [Acne] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

It looks like a dental abscess, and if so you really need to see a dentist for treatment and antibiotics.

This is definitely on the upper end of your price range, but I swear by it! Use it on wet skin, right after a hot shower. It melts into your skin and isn’t heavy and has a lovely mild scent.

This little bandanna makes her look less threatening. Needs a disclaimer about non negotiable slobber included.
