Problem: Article: If your parents have different Rh factors (or if they are both positive and you want to know for sure that you are also positive), you can request a blood typing test. This outpatient procedure is fast and should not be very painful. You can go home afterwards. A nurse or physician will clean a spot on your inner elbow or wrist with an antiseptic towelette. He/She will locate an easily accessible vein in this area. After wrapping a tourniquet around your upper arm to pool the blood, he/she will stick your vein with a needle. The needle is usually connected to a syringe, which removes your blood. Once he/she has taken enough blood, he/she will take out the needle and gently press the injection site with a sterile swab. You will then receive a bandage. Afterwards, the nurse will label your sample and send it to a lab for testing.  Doctors test children’s blood through the back of their hands.  If you feel like you might pass out, tell the medical professional. He/She can help you recline.  You might feel a prick, sting, or mild pain when your nurse sticks you. After the test, you might bruise at the puncture site. This pain should not last long. At the laboratory, a technician will test your sample for its Rh factor. He/She will combine a sample of your blood with an anti-Rh serum. If your cells clot, you have Rh+. On the other hand, if your blood cells do not stick together, you are Rh-. It is likely that the lab will run tests to determine your ABO blood type as well during this time. Record your blood type in a safe place and share this information with your emergency contacts. You will need this information if you require a blood transfusion or organ transplants. Additionally, if you are or plan to be pregnant, knowing your Rh factor is essential. If you are female and Rh-, you will need to have your partner test his Rh factor. If you are Rh- and he is Rh+, you can experience Rh incompatibility. This means that if your baby inherits his father’s Rh+, your antibodies can attack the baby's red blood cells. This can cause extreme anemia and possible death for the baby.  During your pregnancy, if you are Rh-, you will take blood tests to see whether your body is producing antibodies against Rh+ blood. The first will happen in your first trimester and the second will occur when you are 28 weeks pregnant. If no antibodies have developed, you will receive a shot of Rh immune globulin. This shot will prevent your body from producing harmful antibodies against your child.  If your body has produced antibodies against Rh+ blood, you will not receive an immune globulin shot. Instead, doctors will keep a close eye on your baby as he/she develops. Either before or after his/her birth, your child might receive a blood transfusion.  Once your baby is born, doctors can test his/her Rh factor. If your baby shares your Rh factor, you will need no further treatment. If you are Rh- negative, however, and your baby is Rh+, you must receive another immune globulin shot.
Summary: Ask your doctor for a blood type test. Take blood typing test. Test blood sample. Recognize the importance of your results. Be aware of your pregnancy risks.

Problem: Article: Add a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to your nail brush. Work the toothpaste into the brush bristles for a more even application.  Choose a whitening toothpaste. It’s okay to add more toothpaste if you want. Just as you did when you cleaned your nails with the brush, scrub under your nails to apply the toothpaste. Make sure that a thin layer of toothpaste remains under your nail. The toothpaste needs time for the whitening action to work. After the three minutes, wash the toothpaste from your fingernails. Squeeze the juice from two lemons, or use a container of lemon juice. Do not add water to your lemon juice.  You will just need enough lemon juice to soak your fingertips. You can find pre-squeezed lemon juice in the grocery store. Leave your fingertips in the bowl to give the lemon juice time to whiten your nails. After the ten minutes, rinse your hands in clean water. Pour two tablespoons (30 milliliters) of baking soda into a bowl. Add enough warm water to make a thick paste. If you accidentally put in too much water, it’s ok to add some more baking soda to thicken the paste. Smooth the paste under your fingernails. Allow it to sit for five minutes before washing it off with warm water. Use soap and water to clean away any remaining residue from the whitening treatments. After you dry your hands, apply a moisturizing hand cream.
Summary: Put toothpaste onto your nail brush. Rub the toothpaste under your nails. Leave the toothpaste under your nails for three minutes. Add lemon juice to a bowl. Let your hands soak for ten minutes. Make a baking soda paste. Apply the baking soda paste. Wash your hands and apply lotion.

Problem: Article: Some guitarists tune their E string down to D so that they can play power chords. This is seen by many as cheating, but deliberately 'mistuning' strings (scordatura) for any reason is a centuries old method used for any stringed instrument and has been used by Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, and many other bands that were known for their guitar work.  Since the D is now a full half-step lower, you can play simple 2-finger power chords with ease-- just hold the 6th and 5th string on the same fret. This "drop D" tuning also allows for a deeper, darker sound, which many metal and alternative guitarists now prefer. Your whole band will be out of tune if you're not on the same page. The third fret on the top string, for example, is not a G if you're in Drop-D -- it is a half step lower -- a C#.
Summary: Tune your top string down to D to get Drop-D tuning, allowing a deeper sound and easier power-chords. Make sure the rest of the band knows you're using a drop tuning.
