Answer to Question 1

Homans' sign
Homans' sign is no longer considered a reliable indicator for the presence or absence of DVT and should not be considered a reliable test. Trauma to the vein or muscle, reduced mobility, and increased blood clotting are reliable risk factors. If the calf is swollen, tender, or red, notify the patient's health care provider for further assessment and evaluation. If there is a strong suspicion of DVT, testing for Homans' sign is contraindicated. If a clot is present, it may become dislodged from its original site during this test. This could result in a pulmonary embolism.

Answer to Question 2

autopsy
An autopsy is not performed in every death. State laws determine when autopsies are required, but they usually are performed in circumstances of unusual death (e.g., violent trauma, unattended or unexpected death in the home) and when death occurs within 24 hours of hospital admission.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
