Question: How can I find out how big a 6mm kidney stone is?
I have a 6mm kidney stone and can’t seem to wrap my head around just how big that is. I have had these stones in the past and some pretty big ones. Not good with the mm measure though. Any one know where I can find a conversion chart or something of that nature where I can get a visual idea?
Answer by mark43 think of it this way, 6mm is the same as 0.000006 kilometers, or 6,000,000 nanometers. hope it helps!
Question: How and why does dental plaque form on human teeth?
Does dental plaque come from the foods we eat or is it produced by the human body itself?
If it’s the latter, why would our body produce something that has the potential to harm us?
If you think about it, our body produces other equally disgusting things [E.G. ear wax] that we rid ourselves of in an effort to maintain hygiene.
Cerumen is beneficial in that it prevents insects from entering the ear canal, so it makes sense that our body would produce it.
I see no benefit to dental plaque, however.
Answer by abhishek kalapala it is a complex of bacteria & matrix of salivary proteins,
usually saliva is not that sticky due these bacterial contents it becomes sticky. so it is not made by the body!
saliva must have proteins & enzymes( enzymes also form of proteins)and it must be sticky to digest, lubricate food movements, to clean up the oral cavity(almost like ear wax), to avoid food lodging in tooth irregularities.
so these characters of saliva is more protective than harming.
dental plague wont cause any harm in less than 3 days,
only after three it starts halitosis(bad breath).
so better brush at least for every 3 days

This smallest of organs looms large when it comes to digesting burgers, so we made it bigger!! The gallbladder collects & concentrates bile, a substance made by the liver and used to digest fats –like that ice cream you had last night.

Instead, your doctor will pass a flexible tube, called an endoscope through your mouth and into your stomach and digestive tract. This tube has a tiny video camera mounted on its tip, it also contains a small tool used for taking tissue samples. Because the passageway from the mouth to the opening of the small intestine is usually unobstructed, your doctor can use the endoscope to inspect the entire upper half of your digestive system. Reasons for undergoing an upper GI endoscopy vary.

Some gastrointestinal symptoms can be warning signs of serious medical problems and you should take your doctor’s recommendation to have an endoscopy very seriously. Luckily, the vast majority of medical problems diagnosed by endoscopy are treatable and you should look forward to improved health and comfort as a …
