Water Retention Can Affect both Men and Women
2008-05-20 00:00:00 Premenstrual Syndrome, or PMS, includes water retention as a symptom. During PMS, a woman’s body is greatly affected by hormonal fluctuations. The monthly rise in estrogen, for some women, also causes a greater output of the hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone causes the kidneys to retain fluids. When this happens, women will gain a few pounds of ...

WATER RETENTION
2008-05-14 21:40:00 Adults who suddenly increase their body weight may have an increase in fatty (adipose) tissue, accumulation of fluid (edema) or both disorders. Weight gain in excess of two pounds per day usually implies excess fluid retention. It is easy to confirm this by comparing the body weight in the morning and then again in the evening. Weight gains of less than two pounds during one day usually will subside by the following morning. Fluid retention may disclose increased salt and water intake or decreased sodium and water secretion.Checking weight changes from morning to evening often provides early evidence of disease. Dietary indiscretion, the use of diuretics, excessive intake of licorice root, or a cortisol-type drug preparation may also be responsible. A special type of fluid retention called cyclic edema occurs predominantly in women. This is characterized by periodic episodes of fluid retention, frequently accompanied by distention of the abdomen, Patients may weigh several pounds mo...

URINARY RETENTION
2008-05-09 10:06:00 Inability to void may develop abruptly, but is usually preceded by a history of diminished size and force of the urinary system, hesitancy, nocturnal urination, and dribbling. Many of these individuals are older men, having developed gradual prostate enlargement, but scarring and stricture from infection in the urinary tract can also produce these symptoms.One of the most important ways of relieving these conditions, short of actual surgical cure, is the use of the urinary catheter. Unless the obstruction is severe this soft, flexible tube with a rounded end can be passed successfully into the bladder in most people. The catheter should be sterilized, the opening of the urethra (meatus) cleansed carefully with antiseptic solution, and with appropriate lubrication the catheter passed gently into the bladder. Usually relief is obtained and this technique is easily learned at home thus allowing either for the necessary time to seek medical care or a chronic relief in older patients dee...

RETENTION UPON RECRUITMENT
2008-05-01 04:20:00 Attrition is not something that companies take lightly. If they could, companies would make sure that they would have none to minimal attrition rate. Of course, recruitment plays an important role in making sure that this goal would be implemented. This suggestion was discussed in this article which also discussed the same topic. Here is the summary of the suggestion mentioned:One of the effective ways for staff retention is to recruit right personnel to fill the positions in an organization, via methodologies such as competency tests and behavior tests. Another key step for the successful retention of staff is to follow the policy, 'Hire Only the Best,' ie never recruit an employee unless you as well as your organizational team are satisfied with a job applicant.Personally, I think that this suggestion should be in the minds and hearts of recruiters and not just during interviews. This means that recruiters should always keep this is mind when doing their jobs. Imag...

Backup Retention Policies
2008-02-20 19:15:00 I am pretty much writing this to vent a little bit. Apparently my company is going through some litigation and since I am the backup admin I have been asked to recover a number of emails going back to 2003 for employees that no longer work for us.At my last company they had a pretty cool email retention policy. They didn't keep emails older than six months, and they did not allow PST archives. They put that out because of the Microsoft anti-trust suit a few years back where Microsoft was subpoenaed for their old emails, and had them used against them in the suit. Some damning emails from top level executives surfaced saying how they were going to crush the competition, and they were going to drive them out of business. You know stuff like that.By only retaining emails for 6 months, when you get subpoenaed, you can simply say that your policy is not to keep emails older than 6 months. It makes things easier from sysadmin standpoint, and it makes things easier for a legal standpoint....

Lexus Scores High with Customer Retention
2007-12-08 07:27:00 Lexus has ranked second in JD Power’s 2007 Customer Retention Study, retaining 63% of its new car buyers. This was only topped by Toyota, Lexus’ parent company, with 64.6%. This doesn’t surprise me at all, reliability and customer service holds a lot of weight in the minds of most car buyers, and Lexus has excelled at both since its inception. What does surprise me is this: Customer retention may become even more important to automakers in the coming years, as new-vehicle sales between 2007 and 2014 are expected to increase by only 8 percent, or about 1.2 million units. ?Competition for a dwindling number of new-vehicle buyers will likely intensify in the next seven years, meaning that brands will need to retain more of their existing customers in order to increase, or even maintain, market share,? said Oddes. ?In addition, it is approximately four times more costly to attain a new customer than it is to retain an existing one, so in the face of a very competitive ...

Their strategy was to develop a “best product path” approach. They knew that if they could predict what was the next logical (and the most profitable) product to offer to each customer, they could improve cross-sell and up-sell results. Just a small increase in performance meant millions of dollars to this communications giant.The Wireless division was faced with increased churn, especially among their most...

Water Retention
2007-09-20 17:31:00 Water retention may sound like a simple enough problem to remedy?just take a diuretic to eliminate the excess water. But water retention can be a symptom of a serious heart or kidney problem. And leaky capillary walls, malnutrition, bacterial toxins and hormone changes such as PMS can also be the cause of this problem. If your body is retaining water, be sure to see a doctor and find out exactly what is causing this problem before trying to treat it.If a simple diuretic will solve your problem, dandelion and corn silk are two of the best choices?these are some of the safest diuretics ever to grow in the wild. And they also counter some of the negative effects of commercial diuretics. Most pharmaceutical diuretics pull potassium out of the body, creating a harmful imbalance that requires you to takepotassium supplements. But dandelion and corn silk contain high amounts of potassium and even help the body retain this important mineral. Studies have shown that dandelion is as effective...

Save Big with cellular Phone Retention plans
2007-08-17 15:09:00 Cellular phone companies are always battling hard to keep customers. From a cell phone company's point of view, it is always better to retain (or keep) a customer rather than to have to find a new customer in order to replace a customer who just cancelled. So customers who call their cell phone companies and threaten to cancel service can often get better plans than the ones they currently have. The cell phones give these special plans (called "retention plans") in order to save a customer.In the United States, if you talk to the retention department, you can often get a better deal. In the USA, Sprint has the highest customer cancellation rate (known as "churn"), so your chances of getting a retention plan from Sprint is much better than it is from a company that has a low cancellation rate (such as Verizon). For example, depending on the circumstances, Sprint will offer retention plans such as Free PCS - PCS8PM evenings for freeFree VisionFree Roaming min... |
