Rabu, 18 Agustus 2010

We've seen pictures, read statistics and seen video clips showing burn accidents. Almost everyday we see news clips of burn accidents, many of them involving children. Is it due to carelessness of both the parents and children? Partly yes, but primarily because of the lack of basic information on the causes of burns, on safety measures to help avoid accidents and what we can do as first aid treatment for it.

First Aids Treatment to Burn Injuries

To distinguish a minor burn from a serious burn, the first step is to determine the extent of damage to body tissues. The three burn classifications of first-degree burn, second-degree burn and third-degree burn will help you determine emergency care:

First-degree burn injuries
The least serious burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned, but not all the way through. The skin is usually red, with swelling, and pain sometimes is present. Treat a first-degree burn as a minor burn unless it involves substantial portions of the hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or a major joint, which requires emergency medical attention.

Second-degree burn injuries
When the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin (dermis) also is burned, the injury is called a second-degree burn. Blisters develop and the skin takes on an intensely reddened, splotchy appearance. Second-degree burns produce severe pain and swelling.

Vaginal infection are among the most common reasons that women consult primary care physicians. Most women have a vaginal infection now and then, and many women have them often. The vagina normally contains large numbers of organisms called Lactobacillus (or acidophilus). Vaginal infections happen when other organisms grow and change the normal balance of organisms in the vagina.

A vaginal infection is present when the normal vaginal discharge changes color, becomes heavier or smells different, or if there is itching, burning, swelling, or redness around the vagina. A normal discharge does not smell bad and is not accompanied by redness, swelling, or itching. Most vaginal discharges are normal. A vaginal discharge is often present at some stages in the menstrual cycle. This discharge may be most noticeable at the middle of the cycle, which is close to the time of ovulation.

The most common form of vaginal infection is called bacterial vaginosis. Women with this infection have a large number of organisms called Gardnerella vaginalis, as well as many other organisms, in their vagina. If an infection is present, there will be a vaginal smell that is strongest after sexual intercourse, and perhaps an increased amount of thin vaginal discharge, which may be white or discolored.

Worry about Your Healthy Life?

Don't worry, be happy. Yes, just stop worrying.  It doesn’t do you any good. There's worrying and then there's worrying.  As you get older it's only natural to become concerned about certain aspects of your health.  Your body starts to feel a little creaky and you're not as flexible as you used to be.  Not only that, you know so many people who have had heart attacks or strokes or skin cancer and so on.
Your awareness of the possibility of illness and disease has been triggered, be it through first-hand experience or otherwise.  But should this be cause for worry as opposed to a "healthy" concern? It is natural as well to worry more, as you get older, about everything, not just your health.
You are only born with two fears, those of loud noises and falling.  But these types of fears are not the same as the types of worries which I am talking about.  A fear is caused by a perception of imminent threat.  The worries I am referring to are those ones which you toss and turn, rip apart and "chew" over; those things which go over and over and over in your mind and you just won't let them go, even though you know logically that you have no real cause to worry.  That's what I mean by worrying.
