Cologuard and FIT are two types of stool tests that can detect colorectal cancer by looking for blood or altered DNA in the stool. FIT is performed yearly, and Cologuard is performed every one to three year. FIT is less expensive than Cologuard FIT uses antibodies to detect hemoglobin protein specifically, while Cologuard detects hemoglobin along with certain DNA biomarkers. Cologuard combines the FIT test with an additional test that detects genetic mutations found in cancer cells. Cologuard is more sensitive than FIT, and the only FIT-type test able to detect nonbleeding polyps. Dietary restrictions are typically not required for FIT

Medicaid members from states other than Utah are not eligible for this service at this time. Colon cancer screening with FIT kit is available for average-risk adults, ages 45-75. If you have any of the following, FIT is NOT right for you and colonoscopy is the recommended screening. Personal or family history of polyps or colon cancer Hemorrhoids (with inflammation or bleeding) Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease Visible blood in the stool or on toilet paper A previously positive FIT Anyone who has had a normal colonoscopy in the last five years does not need to take the FIT.

For people without heart isssue, the electrical discharges of the TASER device are too short to affect the heart muscle or cause abnormal heart rhythms. Even for those with heart conditions, the proper use of the device does not appear to cause issues. One of the first study of TASERs on humans, published by the Academy of Emergency Medicine in 2006, looked at their effect on individuals with a known heart disease or diabetes. The study participants were shot in the back with a TASER and researchers measured blood markers of heart damage and did a test called an EKG, or electrocardiogram. They did not find any negative effects.

For example, a current applied to the arm will be reduced to .001 percent of the original signal by the time it reaches the heart. TASERs have a 2 milliamp current and it takes at least 1,000 milliamps -- 1 amp -- to injure muscles, nerves and the heart. Higher amps, starting at 10,000 milliamps or 10 amps, cause the heart to stop and produce severe burns, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The taser delivers 19 short pulses per second over 5 seconds, with an average current of 2 milliamps, according to TASER manufacturer Axon. It creates an electric field, which stimulates nerve cells called alpha motor neurons to send an electrical impulse. The impulse travels to muscles and causes short, sustained muscle contractions.

Intermountain now offers convenient access to at-home lab kits for patients in Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. *See FAQ to assess your risk.

A taser is a battery-powered, handheld device which delivers a short, low-energy electrical pulse. Two electrode wires are attached to the gun's electrical circuit. Pulling the trigger breaks open a compressed gas cartridge inside the gun and flings the electrodes into contact with a body and a charge flows into the muscles.

The taser has two modes: the first, pulse mode, causes neuromuscular incapacitation as the neural signals that control muscles become uncoordinated, and muscles contract at random. The second mode, drive-stun, uses pain to get compliance.

Average Risk: Adults 45 or older without prior colorectal cancer or polyps AND without any of the factors that define high-risk​ High Risk: Personal history of removed pre-cancerous colorectal polyps​ Personal history of colorectal cancer​​ Family history of colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps in a first degree relative diagnosed before age 60​​ Multiple first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps​​ Family history of inherited colorectal cancer syndrome​​ Previous diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease​

However, TASER currents don’t reach the heart. Humans have protective mechanisms: The skin, which provides high resistance to electricity, and soft tissue, which surrounds muscles and organs like the heart, also reduce the current.

FIT kits are covered by many insurance plans. Select Health covers the cost of the test as long as you haven't had a colonoscopy within the past 5 years. For other commercial insurance members, a receipt will be provided that can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement. Due to regulatory limitations, Medicaid members outside Utah are ineligible to access a FIT kit through this service at this time.

TASERs cause muscle contractions, but do not appear to trigger the release of the muscle enzyme associated with muscle cell damage -- creatine kinase. If levels of that enzyme are high, it causes a condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can lead to kidney failure. Current research has shown that the muscle contractions induced by the TASER cause a small increase in CK, but do not appear to pose a direct risk for rhabdomylosis, according to a review of research by Forensic Science International.

PREPARATION No preparation needed (i.e. no diet changes, bowel prep kits, or stopping medications) STEPS Place supplied collection paper inside of the toilet bowl, on top of water underneath the seat. Collect bowel movement onto the collection paper. Unscrew lid of collection bottle. Using probe, scrape and collect stool sample making sure to cover the grooved portion completely. After inserting the probe into the tube, snap the green cap tightly.  Do not reopen. Return the sample to the laboratory in the envelope provided. See Instructional Video

Complications related to the brain or nervous system are rare, but do occur, including loss of consciousness, seizures, abnormal brain activity and confusion. This is more likely to occur if a subject is shot at a close distance or directly to the head, which is not usually the case since those are not the recommended targets. The probability of causing a seizure is very low.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. The lifetime risk of developing CRC is 1 in 20. CRC is the 3rd most prevalent type of cancer. More than 130,000 new cases of CRC will be diagnosed this year. Almost 50,000 people will die from CRC this year. Less than 40% of CRC cases are detected at an early stage. If detected at an early stage, 90% of all CRC deaths are preventable. Colorectal cancer (CRC), although one of the deadliest forms of cancer, can be cured if caught early. Early treatment dramatically increases the chance of survival. The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening method is the standard of care worldwide in detecting CRC, is less invasive and more convenient, especially during the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic.

The at-home fecal immunochemical test (FIT), also referred to as an immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT), detects occult (hidden) blood in the stool, which could be due to hemorrhoids, inflammation, non-cancerous growths, cancers, or other causes of bleeding.

Of course, police officers and medical personal should assess subjects subdued by a TASER for injuries. Existing medical or psychiatric conditions and the use of alcohol or drugs in the suspect may lead to behavior or reactions after the use of the TASER that need medical evaluation.

TASERS, also called "electrical control devices," have been used by law enforcement since the mid-1970s, with the intention to help subdue resistant suspects without physical contact or the use of firearms.

Serious injuries represent less than one percent of injuries from TASERs, as noted in a 2009 study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine that looked at more than 1,200 uses of conducted electrical weapons by law enforcement officers against criminal suspects.

A FIT test is a colorectal cancer screening lab kit. The kit includes all supplies and instructions needed to collect a stool sample. Complete the label and place on the sample bottle, then return in the mail within 24 hours. Results will be available in the Intermountain Health patient portal.

On skin, the most common affects are superficial burns or small puncture wounds, caused by the metal probes that deliver the current not being immediately pulled off after a person has been tased. Scrapes are often seen across the skin surface because the person shocked by the TASER my convulse uncontrollably.

The widespread use of ECDs, with more than a 1,070 estimated worldwide uses per day, as reported by TASER manufacturer Axon, has led many to wonder: What happens to the human body after being tased?

The current -- either direct, DC, or alternating, AC -- is the rate at which electrons going down a wire travel per second. Alternating current is what is typically used in wall sockets and it's more dangerous, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association, causing more extreme muscle contraction.

An ampere, or amp, is the unit used to measure current. A small current -- 200 microamps –- applied directly to the heart can cause a fatal rhythm called ventricular fibrillation.
