How can I express that by normal distribution?… by hi ?
If the mean is 16 days and the standard deviation is 1.683.
what is the probability to finish 2 days earlier,no more than one day earlier.
Best Answer:
Get your normal standard deviation table for a one-tailed distribution. Now figure out how many standard deviations 2 days and 1 day are respectively. (1.188 and 0.5942). Then use the table to get the probability associated with a value differing from the mean by those amounts. If the number looks suspiciously low to you, you probably need to subtract it from 50. Bear in mind that the probability of a value less than 1.19 standard deviations below the mean is about 12%, so the probability of a value between 16 and 14 = 50-12 =38%. For a value less than 15, p
What's the difference between baby powder and talcum powder? Can I interchange them?… by
I'm not using talcum powder on my baby, but I need talcum powder and can only find baby powder. Can I use baby powder on a swimming pool cover to prevent it from sticking together when I fold it up to store it for the winter? Are they interchangeable? What's the difference b/w them?
Best Answer:
Talc is a mineral. It's crushed up rocks. Look for it with adult bath products, not infant products.
Baby powder is made of cornstarch now. Cornstarch will mold over the winter. I would keep looking for talc. I wonder if baking soda would work? I use baking soda for everything around here.
The first answer is not true. Baby powder is full of artificial perfumes. It gives us a rash.

What is the difference between these two insulins?… by The Teenage Gu
My mom is a diabetic, and she asked me to find out the difference between LANTUS and LEVEMIR.
Any help is appreciated.
Best Answer:
I was prescribed Levemir with Byetta. I did use Lantus for six months or so, but it brought down my baseline, and seemed to raise my postprandial. I complained bitterly because my numbers after eating were quite high. I was put on Byetta, but still have the dawn phenomenon. I tried Levemir. Unfortunately it did not work well with Byetta.
My understanding is that Levemir acts for six or more hours. Lantus has a slower action, and lasts for about 11 hours. This has been my general appreciation of the two shots. I can't quite remember why, but there was a definite improvement of Levemir over NPH; hence, I was prescribed it.

Will triple antibiotic ointment (generic neosporin) kill MRSA?… by psiexplosi
If it's just in a little cut?
Best Answer:
No, Neosporin is actually a huge cause of antibiotic resistance in people because they over use it. The best thing for MRSA in a cut and not the blood stream would be Altabax ointment which you can only get by prescription.

Does the rabies vaccine work for ferrets?… by Brianna'sMom
I know there is a rabies vaccine made for ferrets. I also know that one of the reasons they arent legal here in California is they say the vaccince isnt effective.
Its ONE of the reason. Yes.
Best Answer:
My answer has more links than they like so for full info also look in the source section.
IMRAB 3 is the only rabies vaccine which has been tested in ferrets that worked for a year and did not cause nasty side effects, BUT ONLY A FEW WERE TESTED. That work began before 1988, with 1980 about when the vaccine was officially accepted for effective use in ferrets, with later improvements to the “Compendium for Animal Rabies Prevention and Control” nationally in effect in 1998. None of the vaccines were tested to see if they could work for over a year in ferrets so that is all that they are okayed to be used for.
Information I sent earlier for others elsewhere:
Remember that changing a rabies vaccine gets very complicated in relation to approvals so manufacturers don't like doing that, and IMRAB 3 has multiple mammals capable of using it:
http://www.nasphv.org/Documents/RabiesCompendium.pdf
The one that is approved for use in ferrets is IMRAB3 but it is repeated annually because it was never tested in ferrets to see if it might be effective any longer than for one year.
There have always been a few individuals who have been allergic to IMRAB 3. We've had ferrets since before IMRAB 3 was approved for use in ferrets in 1990 and in the 17 years that IMRAB 3 has been used we have had two ferrets who reacted to that vaccine (quite a number of years ago, actually). We also had one who was very reactive to a number of things including each distemper shot tried for her so we stopped vaccinating her for
anything in case some common component in vaccines was involved for her.
So, allergic reactions to the rabies vaccine are nothing new; they just are not often seen.
BTW, like any other vaccine if there has been improper handling anywhere along the line that can raise the incidence of assorted problems.
also something I originally sent elsewhere and pulled from an archive:
Another answer given in FML that needs to be in both archives so am carrying to the FHL…
IMRAB 3 is rated for 3 years in some animals that it has been TESTED in for three years of effectiveness (which is why “3″ is in the name and that often causes confusion).
Ferrets have NOT been tested on that score so it is considered to be effective for ONE YEAR, POSSIBLY more but how much more remains unknown.
Vaccines do NOT always behave the same in different species. Example: When rabies vaccines were
first being tested starting back in about 1988 or so in ferrets one of the OTHER vaccines that worked a more than one year in some other species provided only 6 months of protection for ferrets. After 6 months when they were challenged with rabies virus they were able to
contract rabies.
(It took 10 years to get from that point to having many ferret lives saved by improvements in the compendium after thorough CDC work on rabies in ferrets had been completed. This year is the 10th anniversary of that success being enacted in the U.S. for the ferret community.)

The animals for which IMRAB 3 is 3 year vaccine are dogs, cats and sheep. Cattle, horses, and ferrets need it each year.

I have been on Bystolic for 6 weeks and I am having a low pluse, missed beats and extra beats…. by b
This is making me feel nausea and deep sighing. Any help would be appreciated
Best Answer:
I would suggest that you see your doctor as soon as possible. Slow or uneven heartbeats is a serious side effect of Bystolic (nebivolol).
Other serious side effects are feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion; swelling of your ankles or feet; slow or uneven heartbeats; or numbness or cold feeling in your hands and feet.
Less serious side effects may include: headache; tired feeling; nausea, stomach pain; diarrhea; or sleep problems (insomnia).
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Can Metformin make your lungs burn and cause lung failure ?… by salsa cha
My GF is taking them to loss weight. 1 tablet 3 times a day. She is complaining of burn in her lungs. Are her lungs failing ?
Best Answer:
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion; swelling or rapid weight gain; or fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms.
Less serious side effects may include:
headache or muscle pain; weakness; or mild nausesa, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, stomach pain.
Some medications may interact with metformin. Tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:
furosemide (Lasix);
nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia);
cimetidine (Tagamet) or ranitidine (Zantac);
amiloride (Midamor) or triamterene (Dyrenium);
digoxin (Lanoxin);
morphine (MS Contin, Kadian, Oramorph);
procainamide (Procan, Pronestyl, Procanbid);
quinidine (Cardioquin, Quinidex, Quinaglute);
trimethoprim (Proloprim, Primsol, Bactrim, Cotrim, Septra); or
vancomycin (Vancocin, Lyphocin)
Never take a drug any other way than the reason that the doctor prescribed it. I know of no indication to take it to induce weight gain. This is more than likely a bad choice for your girlfriend and her body may be indicating as such. She should call her doctor for more information.
God bless.
