A test with poor sensitivity/specificity that may detect the source of bleeding is the tagged red blood cell scan. Lower gastrointestinal bleeding sources usually present with hematochezia or frank blood. In cases where the source of the bleed is unclear, but melena is present, an upper endoscopy is recommended, to try to ascertain the source of the bleed. ![]() Often, the first approach is to use endoscopy to look for obvious signs of a bleed. However, aside from the melena itself, many patients may present with few symptoms. In acute cases, with a large amount of blood loss, patients may present with anemia or low blood pressure. Ī less serious, self-limiting case of melena can occur in newborns two to three days after delivery, due to swallowed maternal blood. Urgent care is required to rule out serious causes and prevent potentially life-threatening emergencies. Melena is considered a medical emergency as it arises from a significant amount of bleeding. Ĭauses of "false" melena include iron supplements, Pepto-Bismol, Maalox, and lead, blood swallowed as a result of a nose bleed ( epistaxis), and blood ingested as part of the diet, as with consumption of black pudding (blood sausage), or with the traditional African Maasai diet, which includes much blood drained from cattle. Ĭauses of upper gastrointestinal bleeding that may result in melena include malignant tumors affecting the esophagus, stomach or small intestine, hemorrhagic blood diseases, such as thrombocytopenia and hemophilia, gastritis, stomach cancer, esophageal varices, Meckel's diverticulum and Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Melena may also be a complication of anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin. However, any bleeding within the upper gastrointestinal tract or the ascending colon can lead to melena. The most common cause of melena is peptic ulcer disease. ![]() Iron supplements may cause a grayish-black stool that should be distinguished from melena, as should black coloration caused by a number of medications, such as bismuth subsalicylate (the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol), or by foods such as beetroot, black liquorice, or blueberries. The black color and characteristic strong odor are caused by hemoglobin in the blood being altered by digestive enzymes and intestinal bacteria. Melena or melaena refers to the dark black, tarry feces that are associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

It seems within hours of my original post on this hype the worst part of the article was removed. Rescue effort from overseas brings stem cells to COVID patient in Israel, Jerusalem Post. This one hypes unproven stem cells for COVID. Fox31.I wrote a whole post about how terrible this article was in terms of stem cells for COVID-19. “NJ man recovers from COVID-19 thanks to stem cells from Golden lab”. Health Feedback dissected that COVID article. The concern is that anti-vax folks could pick up on the inaccurate claim to discourage COVID vaccination. The author was defending it on Twitter (see above) but the claim was wrong about the supposed DNA change. They later changed the title to be less misleading. This article and especially its title rightly drew a lot of heat as an inaccurate claim. Yes, the vaccine does change your DNA, but only indirectly, as I try to explain in my latest Forbes piece here There’s not much reason to think the stem cells mentioned in this article did anything meaningful. ‘My broken heart was mended by stem cell transplant miracle – and an old flame’, Mirror. Another awful piece using “miracle” in the title. In November I also briefly took the NY Times to task in one item of a weekly recommended reads article for its headline reporting on the same research subject and raising the possibility of a cure. I believe this experimental infusion will not last very long. Ironically the subheader when you go to the actual article says experts are cautiously optimistic, which doesn’t fit with the headline. The data are so preliminary here that to claim a cure in the title is a big mistake. They quote the patient, “It’s like a miracle.” Yikes. Supposed Diabetes Cureįirst person cured of type 1 diabetes thanks to stem cells, Freethink. I’m also thinking the moniker “Gorilla Glue Girl” is a really bad idea. They also refer to the stem cell clinic doing this as experts. ‘Gorilla Glue girl’ gets stem cell therapy after another hair debacle, NY Post. There are several awful things about this article including the wrong assumption that stem cells and PRP restore hair loss.

Having Barbele makes it difficult for players who have reached the said score to meld their initial cards for each partial game, since they must have a meld with a minimum value of 70 points in order to be able to display cards for the first time. A partial game can also end because there are no cards left in the stock deck, although this very rarely happens.Ī player or couple is said to have Barbele when, at the end of a partial game, their score reaches or exceeds 750 points. When a player says “Pumba” and there is only one discard left on the table, they cannot take it to finish the game, there must be at least two discards on the table so in this case they will have to take a card from the stock deck. When, after discarding, a player only has one card left in their hand, they must warn both their partner and the opposing players that they are about to finish by saying “Pumba” out loud. If this is done in the first turn of the game, it is called “Folding the hand”, i the hope that it makes it easier for their partner to play all of their cards. Folding is finishing a partial game by showing all the cards in a hand at once. If the player still has one card left, they can also end the game by discarding it. The cards must be place face up on the table in front of only one of the team, since the game is common to both, and in such a way that all the card numbers are visible so that the melds, especially straights, are clearly visible.Īny player can end and win a hand in their turn when they get rid of all the cards in their hand, placing them face up on the table in one or more combinations or adding them to those already on show. This discard is always done using a card being held, never with one already face up on the table. The turn ends by having to discard a card. ![]() Showing cards or combinations is not obligatory, it can be done in a later turn when more advantageous. ![]() ![]() Next, the player shows their cards in minimum combinations of three cards, either in sets of equal cards or in straights, using as many wild cards as they please or adding cards to the their partner’s previous melds. The game continues, strictly from left to right, and each player in turn must take the top card off the deck or the discards that are left face up on the table, bearing in mind that they have to take all of the discards, even if they are only interested in one of them. If the player has melded a combination in their hand they can choose to show it, ending their turn by discarding a card, which is left face up on the table. The “hand” starts by choosing to take either the top card off the deck or the upturned card on the table. ![]() An expansion joint will be installed in each gutter between the downspouts. Maximum rainfall conditions will be used to determine downspout size.� It is decided to drain the building with 4 downspouts located at each corner of the building. The building is 100 x 85 ft.(30.5 x 26 m) with a double pitched roof having a slope of 6 in./ft.(152 mm/m).� The slope is toward the 100 ft.(30.5m) side. Select downspouts for a building in Boston, Mass. In making this calculation for a pitched roof, the plan area should be adjusted according to recommendations given. a scupper serving a designated roof area.� After the number and location of downspouts have been determined, the areas to be drained by each downspout should be figured. the risk of rain gutter overflow from insufficient drainage capacity. Water disposal at this location should be acceptable. the greater capacity of a pitched gutters or gutter. the appearance of the downspout system and a potential need for concealment. Locating downspouts on the north side of buildings is not recommended for such areas. Open, partially open or corrugated styles downspouts are suggested for areas subject to icing. potential for water freezing in downspouts and rain gutters. Unless special provisions are made for flexibility in downspouts, rain gutters and their support systems, gutters should expand away from downspouts and downspouts should not be located near gutter expansion joints. To limit the effects of thermal expansion in gutters 50 ft(15.3 m) is a practical maximum length of gutter to be served by a downspout. Assuming that using the fewest number of downspouts is desirable, their locations will be affected by.The downspout size must suit the bottom width of the rain gutter.The gutters outlet capacity should suit the downspout capacity.Offset of more than 10 ft(3.0 m) can affect drainage capacity.Downspouts should be constructed with conductor heads every 40 ft(12.2 m) to admit air and prevent vacuum.The size of the downspout should be constant throughout its length.Downspouts of less than 7.00 sq in.(4515 sq mm) cross section should not be used except for small areas such as porches and canopies.In sizing downspouts, the following considerations apply: Plumbing codes typically use the vertically projected roof area for drainage design and they often use a square foot allowance per square inch of downspout for 1 in./hr.(25 mm/hr) rainfall that varies with diameter, for example, 3 in.(76 mm): 911(85) 4 in.(102 mm):1100 (102) 5 in.(127 mm):1280 (119) 6 in.(152 mm):1400 (130) and 8 in.(203 mm):1750 (163) sq. Downspouts and rain gutters are sized in relation to rainfall on this basis. It takes 96.15 square feet(8.93 square meters) of surface with 1 inch per hour(25 mm/hr) of water to correspond with 1 gpm (0.063 l/s) flow rate. Local codes may require that drainage systems only be designed for the latter. New Orleans, Los Angeles, for example, may have 8 in./hr.(203mm/hr) for a five minute duration yet record only 4.8 in.(121 mm) in an hour over a 100 year period.� These rates correspond to 0.133 in./min.(3.4 mm/min.)and 0.08 in./min(2 mm/min.). Based on records through 1978, gives five minute intensities for selected cities. Rainfall intensity is usually given in inches per hour for a five minute duration or one hour duration based on U.S. Experience has taught that use of the true area of a pitched roof often leads to oversizing of the rain gutters or gutter, downspouts, and drains. Since the roof area would increase as its pitch increases, then it would not be advisable to use the plan area of a pitched roof in the calculation of a drainage system. In considering the roof area, it must be remembered that rain does not necessarily fall vertically and that maximum conditions exist only when rain falls perpendicular to a surface. The quantity of water in turn depends on the roof area, slope, and rainfall intensity. The design capacity for a roof drainage system depends on the quantity of water to be handled. Once an architect has determined the kind of roof he intends to use, he must give equal attention to the design of the roof drainage system.įactors to be considered in the design of roof drainage systems are the area to be drained, size of the gutter or gutters, downspouts, outlets, slope of roof, type of building, and appearance. The roof is one of the most essential parts of a building as it protects occupants, contents, and interior of the structure from the elements.
