A simple bleeding would only takes several minute to clotting. A sever bleeding takes longer time. It is important to know the first aid for severe bleeding in order to saves life.

If possible, before you try to stop severe bleeding, wash your hands to avoid infection and put on synthetic gloves. Don’t reposition displaced organs. If the wound is abdominal and organs have been displaced, don’t try to push them back into place — cover the wound with a dressing.

Apply pressure over wound with wad of sterile gauze or other clean material. If bleeding continues and no fracture is present, elevate wound. If bleeding still continues, apply pressure to blood vessels leading to area—in arm, press just below armpit; in leg, press against groin where thigh and trunk join. Use a tourniquet (tight band that cuts off circulation) only when it has been decided that the sacrifice of a limb is necessary to save life.

That title is a real crap. Don’t bother googling for some thing like ; obesity advantages, obesity benefits, etc. I always said to people that maybe big is beautiful, but not healthy. I hate for big people with big ego. Upsss… Maybe that is a wrong sentence in this post.

The facts about children and obesity are some of the most shocking. The obesity rate for children and teens is rising rapidly due to kids spending more time watching TV and eating a wide variety of fattening snack that have no nutritional value. The medical community is seeing formerly adult-only problems occurring with greater frequency in our juvenile population. These serious health problems can be life-threatening, physically uncomfortable or painful, and of course, downright depressing. A child that is overweight will likely be overweight as an adult.

Overweight and obesity lead to adverse metabolic effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin resistance. Some confusion of the consequences of obesity arise because researchers have used different BMI cut-offs, and because the presence of many medical conditions involved in the development of obesity may confuse the effects of obesity itself.

The non-fatal, but debilitating health problems associated with obesity include respiratory difficulties, chronic musculoskeletal problems, skin problems and infertility. The more life-threatening problems fall into four main areas: CVD problems; conditions associated with insulin resistance such as type 2 diabetes; certain types of cancers, especially the hormonally related and large-bowel cancers; and gallbladder disease. Rising obesity-related health care costs diminish people’s quality of life and their pocketbooks.

The only treatment is to loose your weight before it is too late! Hurry up! All you need is a healthy diet, a good work out, and a proper motivation!

Nowadays we can see more and more people smoking at the street. Although the government had issued warning for people to not to smoke at the public street, the smokers seem don’t care for it. Anyway, it is their loss.

We all know that smoking is bad for your health. Smoking can makes your life miserable. Smoking also can make increase the risk for you to get depression.

Depression is associated with an increased frequency of smoking. Addicted smokers are characterized by preoccupation with smoking, abnormal attachment to cigarettes and anticipation of brain reward from the drugs in cigarette smoke. Attempts to quit smoking often lead to a decreased level of pleasure and undesirable mood swings. Thus, once the brain has adapted to the daily dose of the drug, it seems abnormal to the brain if the user attempts to abstain.

Smoking causes depression because of the withdrawal from a physically and psychologically addictive substance, called nicotine.

Nicotine which acts as a receptor for the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, indirectly stimulates the release of another neurotransmitter, dopamine, in the brain’s reward or motivation center. Eventually the brain becomes so much adapted to the presence of the drug that it no longer functions normally without it. After 20-30 minutes of smoking the last cigarette, nicotine withdrawal begins. This leads to anxiety, which is very closely related to depression.

Smoking as well as quitting smoking, both cause depression. Depression occurs when the smoker tries to abstain himself from smoking.

These days more and more people seem to prefer Medicare supplements insurance. But what exactly are these Medicare supplements? Why are they so important? Why would you need this when you actually have a Medicare policy granted to you by the government? To get an insight on Medicare supplements you need to understand first and foremost about the Medicare provided to you by the government. You need to know what the Medicare Insurance reviews say about them.

Medicare is an insurance system providing coverage to all those who are considered to be in need for health treatments, namely those who are above the age of 65, those who are receiving dialysis and those who have been declared disabled. The plan covers hospital bills as well as prescription drugs bills. However Medicare Spplements Insurance often state that there were a number of gaps in the Medicare Insurance plans. Since the plan was drafted a couple of years ago it is not quite updated. Besides there are a lots of other bills which Medicare does not yet cover. This is the reason we have Medicare supplements insurance.

Now Medicare insurance reviews point at certain gaps in the Medicare. What Medicare supplement insurance typically does is to fill up these gaps. These are the additional policies offered by the private companies on top of the base Medicare plans. These policies, because of their gap-filling nature, are also known as Medigap. Those going for this plan must have a Medicare policy (Part A or B). Although these insurance policies follow a standard set by the government, they are independently sold by private companies. So if you want complete medical coverage, go for Medicare along with Medicare supplements.

Recently, I have almost getting this kind of patient. I am still unsure if it’s anaphylactic reaction or not. Luckily I don’t have to use the epinephrine for him.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, whole-body allergic reaction to a chemical that has become an allergen. After being exposed to a substance such as bee sting venom, the person’s immune system becomes sensitized to it. On a later exposure to that allergen, an allergic reaction may occur. This reaction happens quickly after the exposure, is severe, and involves the whole body.

Anaphylaxis requires emergency treatment because the symptoms of respiratory obstruction and shock develop so quickly. An injection of adrenaline must be given to raise blood pressure, relieve breathing difficulties and reduce swelling.

You may be given medications including:

* Epinephrine (adrenaline) to reduce your body’s allergic response
* Oxygen, to help compensate for restricted breathing
* Intravenous (IV) antihistamines and cortisone to reduce inflammation of your air passages and improve breathing
* A beta agonist (such as albuterol) to relieve breathing symptoms
* Steroid medications to treat or prevent prolonged anaphylaxis symptoms

Triple airway maneuver is a technique you have to master if you are a medical person or a paramedic. It is a procedure used to clear the air passages of patients with upper airway obstruction, where the mandible is moved forward and rescue breathing is performed through the mouth and the nose. The technique consists of head-tilt/chin-lift and the jaw-thrust maneuvers.

Traction is a common word for orthopedics, but for ordinary people it is still a rare word to hear. Traction is a technique in orthopedics. Traction refers to the set of mechanisms for straightening broken bones or relieving pressure on the spine and skeletal system. There are two types of traction: skin traction and skeletal traction.

Skin traction is generally less desirable due to the fact that skin can be injured when pressure is applied for extend periods of time. Skin traction called Buck’s traction is commonly used in patients who have a hip fracture.

Skeletal traction does have the disadvantage of complications associated with pin insertion, and infections can come from the sites of pin insertion.

It is largely replaced now by more modern techniques, but certain approaches are still used today:
* Bryant’s traction
* Buck’s traction – hip fractures
* Dunlop’s traction – humeral fractures in children
* Russell’s traction
* Milwaukee brace
