False positive results in occult blood testing: causes and implications

Positive occult blood is a medical term used to describe the presence of blood in the stool that is not visible to the naked eye. This means that the blood is not apparent upon visual inspection of the stool, but can still be detected through laboratory tests. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) is a coding system used in healthcare to classify diseases, injuries, and other health conditions. It provides standardized codes for easy identification and communication. In the case of positive occult blood, the ICD-10 code would depend on the underlying cause or condition that is responsible for the presence of blood in the stool. There are various potential causes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, colon polyps, or colorectal cancer.

Review: Lunar Tides Charm

Though dressing up or looking witchy isn’t a requirement to be a witch, there’s nothing wrong with some aesthetic witchy looks. These can be sported by closet or baby witches without being too out there for their comfort and safety.

For starters, this is a review and completely unpaid. I’m just doing this because I like to do it. My word shouldn’t completely affect your judgment about the brand. So take it with a grain of salt.

Here’s the product text from their website.

Get an enchanting color with our new Magic Collection! Highly pigmented black-based colors with shimmering mica for a magical, multi-dimensional shade.

Magic Charm is a pink-black shade

* Light blonde or platinum hair is recommended for best results
* For even application, apply with a tint brush
* This is a semi-permanent hair dye
* Our dyes are non-damaging and do not require developer
* All our dyes are vegan & cruelty-free!
* Each bottle contains 4 oz. of dye

Our shades appear different in the bottle than they do on the hair. Please do a strand test before doing an all-over application.

What intrigued me about this product is that it’s one of the four colors under their Magic collection. I originally considered to purchase Oracle or Salem but the store I bought mine did not have them in stock. Another factor is that I want to try out a red shade since I heard that they last longer than other shade.

So why not right?

I bought this product during the quarantine and it took a lot of scouring around online shops whether they do any delivery. In the end, I settled with this shop named ilovetodye. I know the name’s pretty catchy and easy to remember. The owners were pretty accommodating and processed my other quickly. They also chose a courier that’s pretty fast at that time despite the lockdown.

I had to wait a bit before I could apply this since I had to wait for the general community quarantine to kick in so that I could buy my bleach wash and the tools for dyeing.

But it was certainly worth the wait!

The Good

Since the color is within the black-pink (no not the Korean girl group but it could be!), you may need to bleach your hair to a Level 8-10 for the best results. Though I’ve seen some people being able to dye their hair using this brand without bleaching their hair.

Here’s a video of a YouTuber that applied Lunar Hair Tides to her unbleached hair.

On my hair the pigmentation is actually really good. Up to this point, I’ve tried several brands (including boxed dyes, gasp) but they were hit and miss. The closest to satisfied I was with this were from locally produced vegan dyes (the stores weren’t available due to lockdown and lack of raw materials so they couldn’t manufacture).

I also asked around from friends and they said that Lunar Tides is a good choice since it’s the same price range as Manic Panic (as Arctic Fox is more expensive here and there are a few issues with its owner. Few is probably an understatement. But it’s up to you if you want to believe these.) I was also recommended this brand since it’s also vegan and cruelty-free, so it’s a win for me.

It starts off a dark and at every wash it becomes vibrant. I had a fear that it won’t stick but it did though it took several applications for an even coat. I’m surprised with my hair thickness and hair length, I managed to consume almost everything in that 4 oz. jar.

The Bad

Of course we also have to acknowledge that every product is not perfect. There are some flaws, if not extra leaps that you as a consumer have to take when using the product.

First the dye didn’t look black pink as I wanted it to be. I was exoecting more on the wine red spectrum but I ended up with a dragonfruit-like color. So yeah, take their statement of the color looking different on certain hairs as you will.

I was told it was because the undertones of my hair needed to be corrected with purple shampoo. So yeah, if you wanted a product accurate color you may need to wash your hair with purple shampoo/conditioner to correct the tone prior dyeing. But if you don’t have spare to purchase such products or they’re unavailable because of a pandemic, well…

Second, the amount of bleeding and staining is insane. That’s my biggest frustration with this. I thought the staining would only happen when I did the rinsing or washing with shampoo but it’s quite consistent even if I’m just using conditioner or cooling off my head in the shower. Stains in towels are okay but I’m low-key peeved about the t-shirt collar stains at the back of my neck.

It has stayed consistent for a while now.

Also sort of related, when I was cleaning off during initial application, the stain on my skin took about a week for it to clear off.

All in all, I’d given Lunar Tides Magic Charm around 3.5/5 stars. It’s pretty high up there comparing to previous brands I’ve tried like iroiro and one brand whose name escapes my mind. This could change in the near future!

This coding information also facilitates data collection and analysis for research, epidemiology, and healthcare planning purposes. Overall, positive occult blood is a significant finding that requires further investigation to identify and address the underlying cause. By using the appropriate ICD-10 code, healthcare providers can ensure accurate documentation and coding of this condition for effective patient management..

Reviews for "Clinical implications of positive occult blood in the urine"

1. John - ★☆☆☆☆

I found the book "Positive Occult Blood ICD 10" to be extremely disappointing. The title promised an interesting take on the occult, but instead, I was bombarded with tedious and convoluted medical jargon. It felt more like a textbook than an engaging read. The lack of explanation and context made it impossible for a layperson like me to understand the content fully. Overall, I did not enjoy this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable occult-themed read.

2. Emma - ★★☆☆☆

"Positive Occult Blood ICD 10" was not what I expected at all. The book lacked a clear structure and failed to hold my interest. The author seemed more interested in showcasing their extensive medical knowledge than actually telling a cohesive story. The excessive use of technical terms made the reading experience confusing and frustrating. I believe this book would be better suited for those already familiar with the medical field, as a layperson like myself struggled to find any enjoyment or value in its content.

3. Mark - ★★☆☆☆

As a fan of occult-themed literature, I was excited to delve into "Positive Occult Blood ICD 10." However, the book turned out to be a letdown. The author's attempt to merge the occult and medical concepts felt forced and poorly executed. The writing style was dry, and the pacing was incredibly slow, making it difficult to stay engaged. I was anticipating a more enthralling and immersive experience, but unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations. I do not recommend it to anyone seeking a captivating occult read.

4. Sarah - ★☆☆☆☆

I regret picking up "Positive Occult Blood ICD 10" as it was a complete waste of my time. The book was incredibly dense and filled with medical terminology that was incomprehensible to a non-medical professional like myself. The lack of storytelling and cohesive narrative made it challenging to follow, and I found myself constantly lost and confused. Even when I tried to find some merit in the book, I couldn't grasp any significant or engaging content. I felt utterly disconnected from the material, and I strongly advise against wasting your time on this book.
