The context behind the discovery.
Yes. POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, can develop after COVID-19, and it is one of the more common autonomic consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The link is now well documented in cohort studies and clinical registries.
Read the story ↗Yes, narcolepsy can begin at any age, from early childhood to the seventies, but it is not equally likely across the lifespan.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, immediate-release guanfacine tablets can be cut in half because they are not scored tablets in every brand and splitting creates real dosing errors, but extended-release guanfacine (Intuniv) should not be split because its matrix and…
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, you can chip a bone in your elbow. A chip is a small fracture fragment that separates from the ulna, radius, or humerus, often at the tip of the olecranon or inside the joint itself.
THE FULL EXPLANATION
Yes, but not the way cleanses and detox teas imply. Your body already cleans your blood continuously through the liver, kidneys, and spleen, processing roughly 1,500 liters of blood daily.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, you can choke on a mouth guard, but the risk is low and the mechanism is specific rather than generic. A mouth guard becomes a choking hazard when it dislodges entirely from the teeth and passes the back of the tongue into the pharynx.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, you can bug bomb an apartment, but only if you treat it as a whole-building containment problem rather than a big can of spray. Total-release foggers exist, they are legal for home use, and they will kill exposed insects.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONNo, you cannot build enamel back. Enamel is an acellular, nonliving tissue that loses its formative cells before a tooth erupts, so it has no mechanism for regeneration.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, you can generally be in the sun while taking hydroxychloroquine, but the drug raises your risk of sunburn, photosensitivity reactions, and a rare but serious sun-triggered skin eruption. That does not mean staying indoors.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes. A baby can be born with white hair, and the cause is almost always decided before birth by how pigment-producing cells migrate, survive, and manufacture melanin.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, you can be bloated after your period. Bloating that peaks in the days before menstruation and lingers into the first days after bleeding starts is common, and it usually reflects fluid shifts, slower gut transit, and hormonal…
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes. You can be fully awake during a colonoscopy, and many patients are.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, you can be allergic to copper, but true copper allergy is rare and almost always takes the form of allergic contact dermatitis rather than a systemic reaction.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes. Severe emotional stress can trigger a real, measurable cardiac event. Cardiologists call it takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or stress cardiomyopathy. It can cause death, though most people survive.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, in most settings you can ask for an ultrasound without a referral, but whether you get one depends on the provider, the state, and the payer. Many imaging centers accept self-referred patients for screening or symptom-based scans.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, yogurt can cause diarrhea in some people. The usual triggers are lactose in amounts that exceed a person's digestive capacity, a probiotic strain or dose that disrupts rather than stabilizes gut function, or a contaminated or badly…
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, but the danger depends entirely on the species and the route of exposure.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, wind farms can affect rainfall locally, but the effect is small, conditional, and mostly indirect. Wind turbines change how the lowest layer of the atmosphere mixes, which can nudge where moist air converges and where clouds form.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, for many people white noise can reduce the perception of tinnitus and the distress it causes, but it does not cure the underlying condition. The benefit is real and measurable in some patients, modest on average, and highly individual.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes, weed can cause diarrhea in some people, but it is not a common or direct effect for most users.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONNo, humanity cannot prevent earthquakes. Faults store elastic energy across thousands to millions of years and release it in seconds, and no technology can arrest that cycle.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONNo. Humans cannot regenerate a whole eye or a full retina today, and no approved therapy regrows lost human eye tissue.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONYes. Researchers have already given people new senses in the lab. Blind participants have read printed letters through a tongue stimulator. Deaf volunteers have perceived sound through fingertip vibration.
THE FULL EXPLANATIONWater passes through the cell membrane constantly. For a human red blood cell, it crosses at roughly 100 to 300 molecules per microsecond through dedicated channel proteins.
