Sometimes I wonder if why we are afraid of needles. Like, when we are growing up we are told that they are bad and to never take one from someone, but then we get stabbed with them for vaccinations. To add on: while growing up, we aren't told why we have to get stabbed with needles. It just "has" to happen, even though needles are "bad." So this, just from my own thoughts and life experience, is why I think a vast majority of people have an overactive fear of needles.
@@joshua.recovers No one ever told me that needles are bad. Who does that even? It was the fact that I HAD TO stay still while someone stabs me with a needle. There’s no avoiding shots. I have always been afraid of helplessness, not pain. Needles and doctors just became associated with helplessness in my mind so I developed a severe phobia. I avoid doctors like death.
One of the diabetes nurses when i was diagnosed could smell ketones on the breath of myself and her other paitents so could easily tell if someone as in ketoacidosis.
I had to have lots of blood tests last month and my skin was being tough and the veins just weren’t cooperating, lots of pain ensued! The blood was too thick and dehydrated anyway so after FOUR different tries the nurse gave up
I have needed many blood tests and there is a considerable range of skill in those taking the samples. Some can manage an almost painless blood draw, I have had others make five painful attempts at getting my blood before giving up and getting another to do the job.
Wrong if you drooled all over your pillow when you slept it means one that you now have a sore/dry throat and two you probably woke up wrong so you have a headache from that.
Exosomes/extracellular vesicles are super cool signaling molecules, and can send messages across the whole body! My lab works on them, and the exosomes secreted by stressed cells can stress out other cells, which is a potential treatment oppourtunity! Every fluid in your body has them too
From an ER standpoint...if diagnostics show an elevated wbc we're gonna need to start an IV to get cultures and get antibiotics onboard. But...for a general check up with your primary care provider this is a great idea.
Ear wax is a protection your body is making to keep the inside of your ears hydrated and to protect it from bacteria and small debris. Cleaning your ears (using something like a q tips) can also damage the inside, lead to irritation, infection... and you can end up pushing the wax inside the ear, which can lead to all kind of problem. In other words: cleaning the inside of our ears is an habit a lot of people have (including myself) but this is not good doing it. It clean itself and should be left alone. If too much is building up, there is some product that exist to help it the natural cleaning process.
Until you meet the ear anomaly like myself that has had the ancient tubes in the ears and now a permanent hole in the eardrums. Yes, I don't use q-tips, but I do clean them, but I must. No q tips!!! But anyway, if I don't clean it I'll get an even bigger problem
@@BESHYSBEES do your ear look like the one on the video? because I stab my ears with my pinky everytime I shower and the nail underside always filled with earwax
Hello, I’m a welder by trade. It’s a loud job; 40 hours per week I’m grinding, hammering, welding (and sometimes dropping) chunks of steel. Every night after my shower, I need to use a cotton swab to gently clean inside my ear canals. It’s always surprising the quantity of “shmag” that wipes away. If I don’t do this, it builds up and completely blocks my hearing. Pre-Covid, I was also an active musician who depended on good hearing. Drumming, and playing in bands is also loud. Years ago I hypothesized, “what if ear wax is actually the body’s natural defence against loud environments? I do wear hearing protection now, and haven’t experienced a proper blockage in some time, but when I was young, dumb and invincible, I didn’t care much about personal protection. Lots of ear wax in those days. The kind that sent you to a walk-in clinic. Anyone else wonder about this?

Electronic noses may be slow getting to market, but there are already dogs, and rats, that are aiding in medical diagnostics. Tuberculosis, some cancers, I believe even diabetes can be detected by amazing animals that are trained by amazing people. The ability to screen a large group of people quickly and cost effectively can give huge benefits, especially to isolated rural populations. The more we learn can be detected through changes in secretions, the more we may be seeing our furry friends in the frontline of healthcare!
"Ear wax can help diagnose stuff!" "That's nice," I said as I lightly rub itchy ear, noticing the sticky, pending build up and hoping it doesn't get to the point of deafening clog.
I'm a type one diabetic, been so since I was 2 years old. My readings were always pretty bad because I was always downright terrified of finger pokes and even more terrified of getting my blood drawn every three months. When you mentioned saliva was similar to blood, does this mean that possibly diabetics could get these diagnostic tests done less invasively? I'm an adult now and still have a fear of needles. (admittedly, I have been taking poor care of my T1D because of this, but that's another can of worms) and I hate to think of more children having to be traumatised from such a young age because of the way this disease is treated.
No WONDER some dogs and cats can smell out cancers! And I knew of one cat in the news a while back who could recognize when a patient in a nursing home was near death. They can smell the chemicals involved in these condititions.
I've had quick earwax build up for a few years. Doctor told me that it's due to me being stressed, and that earwax is created by the same or similar glands as the ones that produce sweat. In turn, instead of sweating profusely during fight or flight, my ears have been slowly making more earwax than normal. Crazy. I'm a teacher. Maybe my body didn't want to show weakness to my students, so it found a way to let it out elsewhere!
I SWEAR that I'm the main character. I woke up with my ear clogged this morning and this is the video you put out? Also, I recently downloaded skyrim for the first time and suddenly skyrim memes start popping up everywhere? Its me. Im the main character.
It's interesting because I've heard both that they're painful and aren't, and it seems like breast size has nothing to do with it. I wonder what it is that makes it painful.
Last time I had blood work, they couldn't get the blood out at first. It took three nurses and multiple jabs. So if I can spit into a tube in the future, I'd really appreciate it!!
In my lecture for my forensic chemistry course this semester, I covered using sweat, saliva and hair as alternative samples to blood or urine for routine drug abuse monitoring.
Makes more sense now, why I always cry, when I have a snotty nose. To produce more snot when sick, you need to create more tears. And why have I never thought about where the water that expels from your face comes from? It's not like we have water vessels going from our stomach. Good video
This reminds me of a thought I once had for a medical assistant I would have named Second Oppinon. It would be a mobile arch that as a person steps through it would take an x-ray and ask for a breath or other sample, and then use data gathered coupled with a sophisticated data base to give a diagnose. This was just an idea, but an AI able to do this with data from several secretions and such could really help with patent diagnosis.
Having something touch your eye is so distressing for so many people that I feel like tear-collection isn't actually an improvement over blood-collection... Also those of us who already wear contact lenses--y'know, to SEE--wouldn't be able to wear those special ones instead! The other secretions sound like better options...
Great topic! I'd love to see a video about boogers, something for which there doesn't seem to be a medical term, unless I'm mistaken. I'm especially interested in whether they confer any benefits when consumed, as that seems to be a popular way to handle them.
Yeah I have to always keep an expectorant in my system to keep my ears draining otherwise my hearing gets worse and so does the vertigo that goes with.
What are you saying? I love getting shots, I donate blood specifically to watch the needle go in. I still remember my first vaccine I saw it go in and I was so amazed.
You wouldn't typically use gas chromatography (GC) or mass spectrometry (MS) in isolation. GC separates compounds but requires some sort of detector, such as MS to identify the individual compounds. Similarly, you wouldn't get much information out of passing a mixture of compound directly through an MS.
I remember that before I got diagnosed (and the reason I went to the doctor’s), I noticed that my sweat was giving off a ‘sweet’ smell like candy. I just thank god that I wasn’t to embarrassed and instead asked my girlfriend to smell me all over , she confirmed the ‘sweet’ smell and said that I should go to the doctors .
You can use a DAT Scan to diagnosis PD. This is more definitive than “smelling” it. It’s also being lobbied to be used as diagnostic for extrapyramidal side effects.
When a baby or child is going to see if they have cystic fibrosis , sweat test is done. Cause salt (sodium chloride is higher than normal baby or child cause the gene where both parents have) sweat test is done to diagnose cystic fibrosis. Babies children teen adults who has cystic fibrosis when we sweat we taste very salty. We lose more salt than normal we are required to intake more salt

Earwax may or may not give a good history depending on how much earwax you produce. I especially produce earwax at an absurdly fast rate so i constantly need to clean my ears or i can get very uncomfortable, itchy ear canals ( I try to only do it once or twice monthly but i often times get earwax on the outside of my ear by then since there’s just so much, my body can’t get rid of it on its own) Since i make new earwax at such a fast rate, Wouldn’t my earwax not give as much health history as someone who takes a longer time to build up as much earwax as me? If that’s the case, then earwax may not be such a reliable way to get data on changes in your health, But i certainly wouldn’t mind a free ear cleaning by a doctor :)
Great stuff! "Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” - Richard Dawkins Even though Dawkins does not believe that living things have been designed for a purpose, he agrees that it certainly appears that we have been "designed for a purpose". It seems the more we learn about the interdependent and synergistic complexities of our bodies (and all living systems), the more it appears that living things (especially humans) have been "designed", and "for a purpose".

"Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” - Richard Dawkins
Even though Dawkins does not believe that living things have been designed for a purpose, he agrees that it certainly appears that we have been "designed for a purpose".
It seems the more we learn about the interdependent and synergistic complexities of our bodies (and all living systems), the more it appears that living things (especially humans) have been "designed", and "for a purpose".
"I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made! Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well!" - The Bible
