Are Allergies Hereditary?

In addition to other factors, such as diet and environment, genetics may play a role in whether you will develop allergies. This is especially true if someone in your family already has allergies.

Learn more about how allergies can be passed down from parents to children, as well as the causes and risk factors for developing allergies.

Multiple studies have shown that allergies are hereditary, or passed down through genes from parents to their children. Children are 50% more likely to develop an allergy if one of their parents has one, and they are 75% more likely to have allergies if both of their parents have them.

energy matters the most

Do everything in your power.

Current is not the whole story.

Medical teams should never lack the  power to save a life. Energy has been proven to best describe the therapeutic  dose delivered to the heart.1-5 That’s why LIFEPAK monitor/ defibrillators escalate biphasic energy up to 360J.

Five independently conducted, peer-reviewed cardioversion studies comparing various biphasic waveforms prove that shocks of the same energy provide the same success rates up to 200 joules, even if the level of current is different.

Oxygen Therapy for Moderate Depression

In Pilot Study, Oxygen Therapy for Moderate Depression Showed Beneficial Effects

In a pilot trial, researchers have reported that treating mild to moderately depressed individuals with oxygen-enriched air had “a significant beneficial effect” on some depression symptoms.

Fifty-one participants completed 4 weeks of the oxygen vs. placebo treatment. The trial was designed to test the idea that delivering oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure (“normobaric”) in moderately higher concentration than ambient air might improve certain aspects of brain function and provide some measure of relief from depression symptoms.

Thermometers come in a variety of styles

seven Types of Thermometers

Types of thermometers In general, there are two types of thermometers. Touch, or contact, thermometers must touch the body in order to measure temperature. Remote, or no contact, thermometers can measure body temperature without touching the skin.

Contact thermometers The most common kind of contact thermometer uses electronic heat sensors to record body temperature. These thermometers can be used on the forehead, mouth, armpit or rectum. Most electronic thermometers have a digital display that shows you the temperature reading.
