If you have always wanted to visit a spa but never thought you
could afford it, with some spas offering discount and reduced prices,
you really cannot afford not to visit one. If you or a family member is
involved in any type of sport where you have experienced injuries,
pains, and chronic aches, a sports/medical massage offered at one of
these facilities can help you heal faster and promotes improved sports
performance. This type of massage is also a great way to prevent
injuries with the use of several types of massage techniques and
stretches. This type of massage can also be used by and individual
immediately following a strenuous exercise session.<br />
You
may also receive a massage designed to relieve you of specific tension
points in the lower back, shoulder, and neck regions. A massage
therapist performs a deep tissue massage by applying a firm pressure to
relieve pain, muscle adhesions, and loosen up tissue in the deep-rooted
knots. This procedure will eliminate your body kinks, one by one, at
specific trigger points. There are additional massage therapy treatments
offered at a day spa where most are beneficial in relieving muscle
tension, lowering heart rate, improving mobility, regulating blood
pressure, improving blood circulation, and much more.<br />
Not only are
there treatments for the body at a day spa, but there are also
treatments for the face. The laser acne treatments are FDA approved for
the treatment of controlling acne. This procedure uses an intense pulse
light that is painless combined with a vacuum for deep pore
purification. The acne laser treatment purifies your skin from the
inside out by eliminating bacteria, blackheads, oil and dirt from deep
beneath your skins' surface. The light on the laser destroys your acne
causing bacteria to help reduce your oil production, skin discoloration,
and even improves the texture of your skin. You will have no down time
with this safe procedure is safe and it is fast enough that it can be
performed during your lunchtime break. Additional treatments you may be
able to receive at a day spa include:<br />
• Micropeels<br />
• Microdermabrasion treatments<br />
• Specialty facials<br />
• Permanent makeup<br />
• Laser Vascular therapy<br />
• and much more<br />
If
you are interested in visiting a spa to get a thorough massage, or you
want acne treatments, skin rejuvenation treatment and more, call and
schedule a consult with one of the professionals. If you need a skin
treatment, the professionals at the spa can start you off with a skin
analysis to find out the condition of your skin. Whatever your desires
and needs are from a day spa, it is a great place to relieve the stress
of the day and enhance your appearance at the same time.<br />

In some situations, a visit to the medical clinic in your community
is a faster and easier solution than heading to the hospital for the
type of treatment you need. These facilities offer a faster service
level to you while still offering the type of care you would expect in
most minor situations in a hospital setting. Add to this the fact that
you do not need to worry about the higher costs of a hospital and it may
seem like heading here makes a better decision than going anywhere
else. That's not always the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a Hospital Is Best</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There
are times when going to the hospital is a good idea. If you have a
condition in which you are experiencing life threatening complications
or injuries, it is best not to waste time and instead to head right to
the hospital for the care you need. Any type of trauma situation in
which there is a risk of death is best helped at an emergency room
situation. You should not go to your family doctor for these types of
urgent needs either. The hospital setting will have the necessary tools
and professionals to help to save your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Other Locations Work</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
other situations, a medical clinic may be a good idea for you. These
facilities can provide you with fast service but they also handle many
of the needs you have. Here are some examples of when it is a good idea
to go here rather than to any of the area hospitals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• You have a cold or other illness that is making you feel bad but you do not believe it is life threatening or urgent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• You need a physical to turn in for sports or for work-related needs and you do not want to wait for your local doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• You need to get a minor injury taken care of and you want to make sure it is done sooner rather than later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• If you need to have blood work or other lab tests run, some of these facilities can help to make that possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• You may be able to have broken bones set in these areas, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
•
If you need medical advice but do not want to wait for a doctor's
appointment and it is not urgent for a hospital, these facilities have
licensed professionals on staff to help you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A medical clinic is a
good idea in many situations. Do not worry about going to the hospital
for non-life threatening conditions when you can get help from a
professional at a medical facility instead.</div>

You may not think so, but getting a breast enhancement is a big
deal. Not only are you going up a few breast sizes, you are changing the
appearance of your body. Since this type of procedure requires that you
are in good health and shape, you may want to review a few things that
will help make your operation a success. Many people who get breast
enhancements seem to think that since it is their breasts that are being
operated on, they don't need to do anything to the rest of their body.
Since surgery is involved, the condition of your body as a whole can
greatly affect the outcome of your breast enhancement. If you don't want
to suffer from any complications or have an incredible long recovery,
take some time to pamper and care for your body in the weeks leading up
to your procedure.<br />
Rest is
very important. It is completely different from just going to sleep.
During the week or so before your appointment, you want to make sure
that you are getting enough rest, so that on the day of your procedure
your body is able to withstand your procedure. If getting rest means you
have to give up a few leisure extracurricular activities or stop
working overtime for a few days, do so. Rest is the only time when your
body is able to rejuvenate itself.<br />
Drink lots of water and eat a
healthy diet. Remember, you want your body to be in good shape for your
breast enhancement. If you feed yourself garbage, then you are going to
feel like garbage before and after the procedure. This includes giving
up alcohol and recreational drugs. You can always resume eating
unhealthy things and junk after you have finished healing.<br />
If you
were not an avid exerciser before you scheduled your appointment, you
may want to wait until after you have completely healed from your
procedure before you decide to start any exercising. When you exercise,
you are working muscles and causing them to move and stretch in ways
that they may not be accustomed to. If you weren't an exerciser before,
to start any new routines now will leave you feeling sore and fatigued.
You need to be in tiptop shape for your surgery. You are going to be
sore after your surgery, and you don't want to add another reason to be
even more uncomfortable during your recovery. It is understandable that
you want to have a sexy body to show off, but it would be best to lay
off the fitness routines until the doctor gives you approval. However,
if you were someone who exercised on a regular basis, you can continue
to do so. Just don't overdo it. Any strenuous activities should be
avoided until after your doctor has given you the go ahead once you have
fully recovered.<br />

What is Pruritus Ani?<br />
Pruritus
Ani, also known as itchy bottom or anal itching, describes a persistent
irritation in the anal region causing a strong urge to scratch the
area. The itch can be so severe so as to cause sleep problems. The more
the irritated area is scratched, the worse the symptoms get. This
condition can occur in anyone, but is most common in people between 40
and 60 years old. Symptoms are strongest after using the toilet and at
night.<br />
<strong>Causes of Pruritus Ani</strong><br />
Pruritus Ani
is not a diagnosis but rather a symptom. Its underlying causes can be
many and sometimes no cause is identified - in this case the condition
is called idiopathic pruritus ani. Possible causes are:<br />
<ul>
<li>Eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions</li>
<li>Irritation by soap, detergents, colored toilet paper, etc...</li>
<li>Excessive moisture in the area, such as from excessive sweating</li>
<li>Dry skin, as tends to happen in older persons</li>
<li>Fungal or bacterial infections</li>
<li>Laxative abuse - these can irritate the anus</li>
<li>Threadworms - these cause itching mostly at night</li>
<li>Damage to the area, for example due to excessive cleaning</li>
<li>Hemorrhoids</li>
<li>Anal fissures and anal abrasions</li>
<li>Anal tumors</li>
<li>Stress and anxiety</li>
<li>Irritants in food and beverages. Common examples are coffee, tea, beer, dairy products, tomato products, chocolate, nuts</li>
</ul>
<strong>Pruritus Ani Treatment</strong><br />
Treatment
of itchy bottom will depend on the cause. If the cause is a bacterial
infection, antibiotics will be used. If the cause is hemorroids,
specific creams will be used, and so on. However, some advice is
applicable to all cases. In particular, the area needs to be kept clean
and dry as much as possible, to prevent further irritation and
infection. You should wash your anus after passing faeces and before
going to bed. After showering, dry with a hair dryer or a soft towel
(pat, don't rub). Avoid scented soaps as these can cause irritation. If
you tend to sweat a lot during the day, use a tissue in your underwear.
Avoid or limit the foods mentioned above. Try not to scratch but if you
find yourself scratching anyway, make sure you cut your nails as much as
possible to lessen the damage.<br />
You should always consult with
your doctor if itching is persistent. You may be prescribed creams and
medications to bring down the inflammation - always use these exactly as
recommended by the doctor. Seek urgent medical advice if in addition to
itching you also have bleeding or lumps.<br />
</div>
<div id="article-resource" style="text-align: justify;">
Pruritus Ani should not be taken lightly and a visit to the doctor is highly recommended.<br />

Anyone who suffers from depression occasionally, or worse, regularly,
knows the feeling that nothing will help them feel better. People who
live with depressive illness understand how crippling a depressive
episode can be, and want to find ways now to get through the next tough
period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following
are five things someone struggling with depressed mood can do now to
get through the next depressed mood faster and more easily, or even
prevent a depressive episode in the first place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. See a Qualified Doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anti-depressants
tend to work very well and prevent crippling depressed moods in people
who have a mood disorder which causes depressive episodes. An individual
suffering from depressed moods, for the first time or over a long
period, should seek medical help as soon as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those
already diagnosed with depressive illness or bipolar disorder who
currently take medication, a depressive episode should prompt a visit to
the doctor. If the current medication regime is not preventing
medication, a physician will typically adjust or change medications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most
family doctors are conversant with the various anti-depressant
medications. Consulting a primary care physician is always a good first
step. If this physician feels more care is required, he or she can refer
the patient to a psychiatrist for evaluation and medication.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Take Prescribed Medications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many
people take their antidepressants only when they feel depressed.
Unfortunately, this leads to far more depressive episodes because
antidepressants are not like pain relievers. They cannot be taken as
needed and produce results. It is crucial to take antidepressant
medication on a daily basis. If the medication is appropriate and
prescribed in the correct dosage, daily use should relieve most or even
all major depressive episodes once the medication reaches its effective
level in the body.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Exercise Regularly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Exercise is the
best antidote for depressive moods. Unfortunately, during the middle of a
depressive episode, no one wants to get up and go for a jog or even a
walk. This is where prevention and habit come in. Creating a regular
exercise program and habit makes individuals less likely to become
depressed. Having a habit ingrained helps the depressed person take the
action to get out and exercise even when they don't feel like it,
because that is what they do. They have an exercise habit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Have a Lifeline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyone
who struggles with depressed moods should have one person they can call
at any time, day or night. This may be a therapist or a friend, but it
must be someone completely trusted and someone who understands what
depressive illness is and how it works.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lifeline should agree
to listen and encourage without criticizing. A lifeline should
understand that suicidal thoughts often accompany major depressive
episodes, and handle these thoughts calmly and in a caring manner,
without panicking or condemning the thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above all, a lifeline should simply allow the depressed person to talk and cry, and perhaps talk and cry along with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Make a No Suicide Pledge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
the midst of a serious depressive episode, thoughts of suicide often
appear tempting. In fact, these thoughts often crowd out real solutions
to getting through the pain. Many people focus on the suicidal thoughts
because these thoughts are louder than anything else in their head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most
people, when not depressed, do not want to die, and in fact want very
much to live. Suicidal thoughts are not rational, well-processed
thoughts that just happen to be stronger during a depressive episode.
They are irrational, depressed thoughts that serve no real purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If
a depressed person can acknowledge those suicidal thoughts, but has
determined in advance that suicide is not an option, it is easier to set
those thoughts aside and consider other options which might help with
the depressive episode. For instance, if the depressed mood is related
to a certain situation, eliminating the option of suicide might allow
room to consider other ways out of the situation. Similarly, ruling out
suicide and moving on from those thoughts allows even a very depressed
person to be more rational and make the call to the doctor for a
medication check or go to the hospital emergency room and ask for help.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
a person feels depressed, none of these solutions make very much sense.
However, if they are set up in advance, they will help reduce the
severity and frequency of depressive episodes and make getting through
the remaining episodes easier.</div>

Everyone knows just how hard it is to get rid of that belly fat
that has been plaguing you throughout most of your life. It seems as if
no matter what you try, nothing ever seems to work. You have tried
countless diets and tons of exercises, only to end up sore and
frustrated. If you are finally tired of running a race that seems to
have no end, you should make abdominoplasty your next choice. You won't
be disappointed that you did.<br />
Abdominoplasty
is a procedure that involves a plastic surgeon cutting away that
stubborn bulge of fat. Excess skin that contributed to the bulge and
rolls in your stomach area can be removed as well. There is no risk to
your abdomen muscles. In fact, you will be able to see more tone and
definition after the swelling has gone down from the procedure.<br />
Getting
prepared for this type of surgery will make your recovery much easier
for you to handle. After the procedure, you may notice some discomfort,
so it is import that you do some things in advance to prepare and
minimize your discomforts.<br />
Drink a lot of water. The cells in your
body all need water in order to rejuvenate themselves. The better
equipped your body is, the better you will be able to heal. Now is not
the time for you to become dehydrated, this can make you ill or cause
some serious complications with your abdominoplasty.<br />
In the weeks
leading up to your procedure, try to minimize your activities and put a
halt to any strenuous activities for a while. Anything that requires you
to do any heavy lifting or will wear you out should be something you
ask your friends or family to help out with. You will never know how
much you use your abdominal muscles until after your surgery, when you
are not really able to use them. This can cause you to appreciate your
body more while you are recovering from your tummy tuck.<br />
Enlist
the help of your friends or family to provide assistance to you while
you are healing. You don't want to do anything that will cause
complications with your body's healing process. The less you do, the
better your results will be, and the less scarring, inflammation, and
irritation you will have to deal with.<br />
One common problem that
many people seem to run into after their abdominoplasty is that they
don't give themselves enough time to heal. They are in such a rush to
show off their new body that they don't heed all of the doctor's orders.<br />
Give
yourself enough time to make a full recovery before you start back with
your normal routine. This means that you will need the doctor's
approval before you get back on track. If you do everything that you are
supposed to do, you will be pleased that you can now show off your
stomach.<br />

Microtia treatment can take a number of forms, both surgical and
otherwise. The condition being treated is somewhat rare-estimated to
occur in one out of 10,000 births. It consists of a deformity in either
or both ears which manifests as underdeveloped cartilage. In many cases,
it is associated with other disorders, such as Treacher-Collins
Syndrome. While it does not always cause hearing loss, that is a
distinct possibility. Sometimes the deformity extends to the eardrum and
the canal, which can cause issues with hearing. If your child has been
diagnosed with the condition, here are some of the surgical options
available to you.<br />
Rib Graft<br />
One
of the most popular forms of microtia treatment, the rib graft includes
taking cartilage from the ribs of the patient and using that as a
replacement for the ear's natural cartilage. While invasive, the doctor
should be skilled enough to reduce the risks considerably. This surgery
can be intensive, however, and it often takes several stages to
complete. The rib cartilage has to be harvested and molded and then sewn
into a flap beneath the skull. From there, the surgeon must create the
earlobe. Finally, the surgeon has to release is from the scalp skin,
giving it that natural, pull-away appearance and perform a skin graft.
The end result may not look like a perfect ear, but it will be a much
closer approximation.<br />
Medpor Surgery<br />
Instead of using
cartilage from the patient's ribs, the Medpor technique does the same
thing using synthetic materials which can then be carved and molded to
match the existing tissue. This material is made from polyethylene, a
substance that has been used in various forms of reconstructive surgery
for years, in addition to being utilized to treat microtia. The major
benefits of choosing this operation is that it can be done in just a
single stage and is, of course, much less invasive. The cons, of course,
are that the material is not natural. Though even this is mitigated by
eventual vascularization, which can allow the patient to feel sensations
such as pain in the ear.<br />
Non Surgical Options<br />
There are non
surgical options for anyone with microtia. The most obvious of which
is, of course, the choice to do nothing. Some forms of the condition
will not affect the hearing, in which case the choice is purely
cosmetic. If your ears are merely underdeveloped and small, as opposed
to markedly disfigured, this may be a viable option. Prosthetics are
also an option that many people choose. These prosthetic ears can look
extremely real. Talk to your doctor about choosing one of these options
if you don't like the idea of surgery.<br />

Everyone knows what Fitness means right? Fitness is being Cut aka
being Defined, aka Getting in Shape aka Getting Shredded aka Getting
Jacked aka Getting Ripped (not in a drunken sense).<br />
<strong>Fitness</strong>
<br />Fitness, as something that we must strive for physically to improve
our aesthetic appearance, and by virtue our internal functions and
overall health, is a relatively recent concept. Here in the United
States, circa the 17th-19th centuries, our country was an agricultural
nation, with the vast majority of its residents involved in farming.
Most everyone worked hard on the farms, and thus most everyone was in
shape or fit in some way or another.<br />
The relatively recent
societal technological innovations have served to make us a society
where convenience and expedience is the norm; the rapid rise and
advances of technology have also led to an explosion of population
migrations from the agricultural heart lands to our cities, transforming
them and leading to a consequent rise much of what we know of today
including concentration of wealth and humanity in centralized hubs of
wealth and industry and in effect, office jobs where we sit around all
day staring at a computer monitor (and smartphone/tablet screens). This
has lead to more and more of our citizens becoming much less fit, due in
large part to the sedentary nature of our jobs and our home lives.<br />
Thus,
we now have a majority of our citizenry that is out of shape and not at
all fit by any person's definition. As a result of this, a need for an
industry to meet the needs of our out of shape and overweight citizens
was created and continues to adapt and flourish. This is of course out
of necessity - our population is aging, our children are increasingly
out of shape, and their parents are obese.<br />
Today, when we see
someone who is in shape or fit, we marvel at them, mainly because they
are more the exception than the rule. As you can see, the idea that
everyone starts off fit and in shape, as would have been the case at
least a century ago, is contrary to the norm that is today.<br />
Old Rules of Fitness
<br />Our old "modern" rules of fitness would have you simply eat less and
exercise to achieve a semblance of fitness, or at least a modicum of
weight loss. The mantra would be to eat 3-5 meals per day, workout at
least 1-2 hours per day, performing 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions at some
sort of weight for single muscle groups. Very formulaic, generic, and
inefficient. The old rules were not bad - they just were too generalized
and accomplished only the basics. They were decent guidelines to form a
foundational understanding of exercise and offered a simple glimpse as
to the work it takes to achieve a certain standard of fitness. Not a bad
start - That was then.<br />
The New Rules of Fitness
<br />Welcome to the new rules of fitness, where there is a focus on
achieving maximum results as efficiently as possible. There is much less
focus on "general standards" for sets and repetitions and a greater
focus on intensity and duration, as well as the incorporation of
multiple dynamic modes of exercise such as plyometrics, yoga, pilates,
resistance training, dancing, and other aerobic and anaerobic modes
which can be used and blended to promote maximum muscular recruitment in
effect causing more energy to be utilized in a more compact time frame.
This is a much more effective and efficient way of getting things done.
Indeed we are in a golden age of invention and achievement as it
pertains to creation and adaption of exercise systems for fitness.
Everyone who is embracing this movement should be applauded.<br />
Today
is an era where P90x, Insanity, and other similar type of fitness
approaches are being attempted and embraced on a large scale. Why is
this? There really isn't only one simple reason - it is because they are
dynamic, fun, and most importantly these methods produce results - and
not just simply standard results, timely, efficient results.<br />
As
exercise evolves, changes, and becomes adapted by practitioners and
participants alike, the practice and promotion of nutrition as a partner
with fitness will adapt to meet the needs of athletes and participants.
Of course biologically nutrition won't change one bit, a calorie will
still be a calorie, etc., however the ideas and principles of when
someone should eat in relation to exercise, how much should they eat,
and how often throughout the course of the day, will become variables of
understanding and concepts of teaching that everyone will start to
consider and incorporate as they start to embrace these higher intensity
bouts with more frequency. Practitioners and participants alike will
HAVE to incorporate both aspects since they are two sides of the same
coin - you cannot be considered fit if you solely rely on exercise or
nutrition, one in absence or to the exclusion of the other, to get you
to your ideal aesthetic and internal goal since it is imperative for
optimal results to understand and incorporate both. As activity
increase, the need for (quality) nutrition/energy spikes as well,
especially post activity/exercise.<br />
Here's to the new rules of
fitness and those practitioners and participants that have embraced
them, and to those that will embrace them in the near future.<br />

Otoplasty surgery is often implemented when an individual has
problems with the shape of their ear. These problems could be as minor
(surgically speaking) as prominent lobes or as major as malformed
cartilage. Whatever the case, the surgery can make a big difference in
not only the patient's appearance, but in their self esteem. This is
especially true in younger patients. As adults, we forget how serious
"sticking out" can be when it comes to getting teased in school. While
it's easy to say, "Oh, it will build character," there are few studies
that say being tormented in school produces a well balanced adult. Here
are some things you should know about the procedure.<br />
Weighing Factors<br />
The
results of otoplasty is based not only on the skill of the surgeon, but
on weighing a number of factors prior to moving forward with surgery.
Not everyone is a great candidate for the procedure. By taking the time
to adequately determine who is and who isn't a good candidate, a doctor
can vastly improve the success rate of their practice. Don't be angry if
it is determined that you or your child isn't appropriate for a
procedure. While it's your right to seek out a second opinion, you could
be doing more harm than good by charging forward in spite of advice to
the contrary. Some of the factors to consider include size and symmetry,
pliability of the cartilage, age, and physical health.<br />
Age<br />
One
concern at the forefront of many a parent's mind is how old their child
should be when considering otoplasty. While social concerns dictate
that any procedure be handled as soon as possible, this time is rarely
before the age of five or six. This is because the ears will not reach
their full maturity until that age. It makes little sense to make
surgical adjustments to the ears before they have finished growing.
Consider taking the child in for an initial consultation around this age
and the plastic surgeon will be able to make a determination about
whether or not it is appropriate to move forward with treatment.<br />
Changing Your Look<br />
One
of the concerns people-especially adults-have when considering
otoplasty is whether or not it will drastically alter their appearance.
Everyone has seen people go in for a nose job and come out looking like
an entirely different person. That's because the nose is a central
feature. Making dramatic adjustments to its shape and size can have a
significant effect on how we perceive that face. The ears aren't the
same. While the problem will be addressed, you will still look like the
same person after surgery.<br />

Do you suspect that you may be suffering from low blood platelet
counts? If you do, you join millions of people across the globe affected
by this very treatable problem.<br />
The
simple symptoms of thrombocytopenia (low platelets) start with visual
cues such as excessive bruising, or bruising very easily. This is caused
by blood "leaking" into the skin after trauma. There is no obvious time
frame regarding the development of the symptoms of low platelets, and
can appear suddenly or gradually become more apparent with time.<br />
Obvious
symptoms of the conditions present themselves in much more sever ways.
If you bleed excessively after becoming injured, then you could very
well have a low platelet count. Note that if you are on medication such
as blood thinners and aspirin, then you may be more susceptible to the
effects of having a low platelet count. If you suspect you suffer from
the condition, then you should speak to your doctor about what the
medication you are taking would have on you if you did indeed suffer
from the condition.<br />
Thrombocytopenia may also cause spots on the
skin red or purple in colour, usually on the forearms or on the legs.
This symptom generally presents itself on areas of the skin where there
are lots of capillaries and where the skin is thin. These spots are a
direct result of the fact that low platelet sufferers' blood clots at an
impaired rate when injured. These spots are called petechiae.<br />
This
bleeding condition also causes easy bruising of the skin, and can
present themselves seemingly on their own even without obvious trauma.
Obviously, the more sever the trauma, the more severe the bruising. The
medical name for this is bruising purpura, and can be purple, brown or
red in colour.<br />
More severe forms of thrombocytopenia may manifest
themselves in much more affecting ways. Bleeding from the mouth or nose,
or excessive bleeding after you've brushed your teeth may indicate that
you have low amounts of platelets. For women, if your menstrual cycle's
flow seems to be much heavier than normal than you should definitely
look into treatments for the condition.<br />
Often, the indication that
a person suffers from low platelet counts is more prevalent when that
person has had an operation. This is thought to be due to the more
invasive nature of surgery and the large amount of healing required by
the body. This extends into dental work and oral hygiene practices,
where gums may bleed and seem to stop very slowly. If you present these
symptoms you should get yourself checked out.<br />
If you are seeing
blood in your urine or stool then you could also be a sufferer, and
before immediately jumping to the conclusion that you have low platelet
amounts in your blood, get checked out by a doctor as these symptoms
could point too much more sever medical conditions. If you suffer from
immense headaches and are concerned that there may be something wrong
with you, low platelets could be a contributing factor.<br />
If you
suspect or are experiencing any symptoms of thrombocytopenia mentioned
in this article, get checked out by your doctor. As with any medical
condition, low blood platelet counts should be treated wisely and as non
invasively as possible, where possible.<br />
Try seeking treatment
through a modification of your diet, and do further reading on what
exactly contributes to low blood platelet counts and how you can restore
them to healthy levels safely and as naturally as possible.<br />

<div id="article-resource" style="text-align: justify;">
If you suspect you are suffering from thrombocytopenia or low
platelet counts, then you should get treatment as soon as you can. These
treatments don't need to be medicinal though, and in fact you would
benefit from keeping them as natural as possible.<br /> Head on over to

rid yourself of low platelet counts, it's a simple change that could
make a massive difference to your life!</div>

The National Institutes of Health, more commonly referred to as
NIH, is a federal government agency operating under the purview of the
United States Department of Health and Human Services that is primarily
responsible for supporting the nation's biomedical and health-related
research studies.<br />
The
grants and programs of the NIH are all magnanimously engineered to
assist in the realization of its primary agency mission which is to
"seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living
systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health,
lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability."<br />
In
line with this mission, the National Institutes of Health has recently
collaborated with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in an attempt to
establish the Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program Groups
(MBCCOP).<br />
The primary purpose of the program is to support
research initiatives involving physicians who are participating in the
care of minorities and who are eligible to participate in NCI-sponsored
cancer prevention, control, and treatment clinical trials.<br />
In
addition, the program also serves as an opportunity for practicing
oncologists who serve large racial/ethnic minority populations to
participate in clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer
Institute.<br />
Essentially, this program is designed to cater to
minority populations and to bring forth state-of-the-art cancer clinical
trials to minority individuals in their own communities.<br />
The
MBCCOP Groups will work by providing patients with access to clinical
trials in cancer centers, major university centers, and community
programs. And in this manner, this access will be realized through
another, separately funded, arm of the program called "Research Bases,"
which are comprised of participating NCI Cooperative Groups and Cancer
Centers.<br />
As a result, the linkages that will soon be developed as a
result of this access is expected to facilitate the transfer of
advances in cancer prevention/control/treatment practices to minority
communities and their physicians.<br />
The National Institutes of
Health is ready to administer funds in the amount of $5,500,000 to
support the Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program Groups.<br />
The institutions and organizations who will be deemed eligible to submit an application under this program are the following:<br />
a) Public and State Controlled Institutions of Higher Education<br />
b) Native American Tribal Governments<br />
c) Federally recognized Native American Tribal Organizations<br />
d) Nonprofit Organizations<br />
e) Private Institutions of Higher Education<br />
f) For-profit organizations<br />
g) Small businesses<br />
The
United States Department of Health and Human Services, the mother
agency funding the program, is the nation's premiere agency for
protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human
services to everyone, especially to those who are medically challenged
and financially vulnerable.</div>

With little to no extra time on their hands doctors have to work
smarter not harder and that is when they turn to the assets of a medical
billing service company. As they work around the office day in and day
out, the time to really create the bills and send them out is just too
time consuming. Getting medical providers paid is often nothing more
than having the time to send out the proper documents but so few
providers grasp what documents or how to document them. Medical billing
companies are more efficient at establishing all the documents necessary
to get providers paid not only by the insurance companies but by the
patients as well.<br />
Different
companies make different guarantees to doctors about their services,
but then always go back on it. The best companies will honor their word,
will look as if to charge more but in reality collect far more than the
lower cost competitor and will offer a money back pledge. Not only can
the best company deliver everything with precision, but they also can
find the best ways for the doctors to earn the maximum amount of money
available without ripping off the customers. The values of each office
are going to be different, so every billing services should look to
please the needs of the practice not the needs of the billing company.
Honoring one's word is important. A competent company will ensure that
all payments go to the provider and not to the billing company.<br />
There
are many different options out there for medical offices, but very few
can actually make the doctors money and save them time. The doctor's
time is valuable and cannot be replaced so it is imperative that the
right company be selected. Summarizing the previous line simply means
that time is money. You can replace money but you cannot replace time.
Only those companies with a track record of ten to 15 years will be able
to do what they claim. Otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.
Doctors should make keen decisions when looking for which one can do the
best with what specifications they set for the provider medical
services to complete.<br />
Basically, the only companies that can help,
are the ones that give it there all and get consequences. Not only
should they be trained to make the money, but they have to be able to
make both customer and office happy and at ease with the work done. Such
companies will develop a relationship with you that will create a bond
showing a duty to your needs. Only one company in the end can come out
on top in every qualification, and that company deserves the be the one
that is trusted above the rest. Any company that has a long track record
and a list of pleased customers should rise to the top of your list.<br />

It can be distressing for parents to see their children not feel
well and have frequent motion sickness. Children from 5 years to 12
years are more susceptible to motion sickness.<br />
<b>What is Motion Sickness</b><br />
Motion
sickness is caused by a disturbance of the inner ear where there is a
conflict between the vestibular inputs and visual inputs. These
conflicting messages are sent to the brain which results in imbalance
and thus leads to motion sickness.<br />
Motion sickness can occur in air, sea, bus, car, roller coaster or from playing video games.<br />
<b>Symptoms and Signs</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Dizziness</li>
<li>Nausea</li>
<li>Vomiting</li>
<li>Headache</li>
<li>Pale skin</li>
<li>Cold sweat</li>
<li>Fatigue</li>
</ul>
<b>Remedies for Motion Sickness</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Always ask the child to look at a distant point, at the horizon or focus his attention somewhere out of the window.</li>
<li>Have a plastic bag ready. Wiping your child's face with wet towels
will also make him feel better. While traveling in air keep the air
sickness bag ready for the child.</li>
<li>If traveling by car, let your child sit in the front seat. This
helps him to focus and keep his eye in tune with the motion of the
vehicle. If in a bus, choose the middle seat.</li>
<li>Give your child a pillow or use the head rest to avoid unnecessary
head movements. Your child should keep his head as still as far as
possible.</li>
<li>Calm your child. Anxiety can make the problem worse. Tell your child
that he is not the only one and he will get over it as he grows a
little older.</li>
<li>Always carry lots of liquids while traveling. Frequent vomiting can cause dehydration in children.</li>
<li>Give your child small sips of water or electrolytes if he's vomiting.</li>
<li>Motion sickness can get worse if your child is on empty or full
stomach. Avoid giving big or greasy meals to your child before travel.
It is a good idea to have a light snack before the motion.</li>
<li>Avoid drinking and eating during short trips.</li>
<li>Make frequent stops. Take short breaks when the child starts complaining about feeling sick.</li>
<li>If you are flying, request for a seat near the airplane wing. This helps to reduce the turbulence.</li>
<li>Try covering the windows as bright sun can make nausea worse.</li>
<li>Fresh air can also help prevent nausea. Try and open the windows whenever possible.</li>
</ul>
<b>Useful herbs and medicines </b><br />
Before starting
any therapy make sure you consult a health care professional or doctor
about the exact dosage and method of treatment.<br />
<b>Herbs</b>
<br />-Ginger
<br />-Peppermint
<br />-Black Horehound<br />
<b>Homeopathy </b>
<br />-Cocculus
<br />-Sepia
<br />-Tabacum
<br />-Borax
<br />-Petroluem
<br />-Nux Vornica<br />
<b>Other Medicines</b>
<br />-Promethazine
<br />-Antihistamines
<br />-Scopolamine<br />
</div>
<div id="article-resource" style="text-align: justify;">
According to psychologists parenting begins even before the child
in unborn. A mother talking, reading and singing to the unborn child
creates a mother-infant bond early on. Even after the child is born,
parent's interaction plays a very very important role in child's brain
development. This goes a long in shaping the child's brain and affecting
his psychological state. Some studies have also shown that children who
have received responsive and sensitive care from their parents in their
early years grow up to be more confident and successful individuals in
their lives. Recent advances in brain research has shown that the brain
development in children is not only dependent on genetics but is also
determined by the child's experience.<br />

The Pre-Admissions Visit Does Have Critical Value Before Nursing Home Admissions<br />
If
you talk to Diana Waugh, a registered nurse from Ohio, long-term care
quality advocate and former director of nursing she would tell you she
believes in the value of the pre-admission visit. What is that? It is
when nursing home personnel visit a hospital and gain an in-depth
understanding of a referred patient's needs before accepting this person
for admission.<br />
Of course this typically does not happen in our
age of electronic referrals and stiff competition among skilled nursing
facilities. Plus hospitals are gun-shy, afraid that facility reps will
come in and try to market to other patients.<br />
Unfortunately post
admission many skilled facilities are finding there may be a financial
and clinical incompatibility with this new admission and it becomes
almost impossible to undo the process without infringing upon the
patient's and their family's comfort level and dignity. Typically the
discharge, whenever it is time for it to occur is a complicated one.<br />
Of
course there is also the convenience factor. Many nursing home
personnel rarely leave the building for anything, except for business
development staff. Many are simply in a rut and that can be hard to
break away from.<br />
However, Diana's concerns are very legitimate.
Accepting certain admissions without really feeling confident this
patient is an appropriate behavioral, clinical and psychological fit can
open a can of worms that can be hard to manage and hard to close.<br />
Further,
when the dominant pre-admission questions center around insurance
coverage and skilled days already consumed that calendar year, it is
easy to slip into that "cattle herding" mode where we start to move away
from the human side of care delivery and care management and focus
solely on reimbursement.<br />
Of course location plays a role since the
hospital referring the patient may be 30 miles away and even if the
pre-admission visit became an industry wide rule we still cannot escape
the reality that no admission is perfect. Additionally this can never
become a system wide practice unless everyone gets on board or the more
aggressive marketers will keep accepting anyone who can pay regardless
of the lack of person-centeredness involved.<br />
Maybe there is
another solution. If you have it we hope you will share. Let's talk
about it. In the meantime may families and patients take a more active
role in ensuring that every admission is as close a match as possible in
order to ensure quality care delivery remains the priority.<br />
Thanks for allowing us to share.</div>

As an increasing number of Municipalities across Canada and the
United States make the CPAT their official physical test as part of the
firefighter hiring process, recruitment candidates should familiarize
themselves with this test, as well as understand how a metabolic and
strength conditioning program can properly prepare them for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
CPAT began in 1997 as a result of what the IAFF (International
Association of Fire Fighters) and IAFC (International Association of
Fire Chiefs) viewed as a need to standardize the physical testing of
candidates being hired into fire services all across North America. The
rationale was that candidates who were incapable of achieving the
physical requirements of fire fighting were slipping through the cracks.
A task force consisting of the IAFF / IAFC and ten leading fire
services and their unions created the Fire Service Joint
Labor-Management Wellness-Fitness Initiative. In turn, the CPAT was
developed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using 1000 randomly selected fire fighters from the ten
fire services, various standards were developed based on averages.
Averages such as; what kinds of tasks fire fighters are required to
complete, how much the average gear and tools weigh, the average height
and weight of the fire fighters, and even the average weight of patients
entering the ER departments of the cities where the ten fire services
were located. Using these averages, an 'obstacle course' was created
that the task force felt best replicated what the average firefighter
would experience at an average fire ground scenario. After running their
fire fighters through it, they also came up with an average time that
candidates should pass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Municipalities that decide to run the CPAT
as their official test must be licensed accordingly by the IAFF in
order to do so. This results in an across-the-board baseline whereby
every CPAT is essentially the exact same thing. All distances, weights,
instructions, and sequence is the exact same. The individuals manning
the test have received recognized training as well. Because the CPAT is a
recognized standard that has been developed with such an excellent
attention to detail, candidates are essentially unable to legally
challenge the results as being 'unfair' - since thousands upon thousands
of applicants and hires have set precedence before them as to the
universal acceptance of this test.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The general rules of the CPAT
are pretty straight-forward. Every step of the CPAT has a particular
aspect to it that can constitute an instant fail. Sometimes you get to
have a 'warning' before you fail, again, this depends on the step you're
on. There is a set time you must complete all eight steps in to pass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
CPAT starts with a candidate being 'loaded' with a 50lb weighted vest.
They are asked to make their way to a stair-climbing machine and given
an extra 25lbs (12.5 add-ons on each shoulder). A 20 second warm-up at
50 steps per minute is quickly followed by a 3 minute, 60 steps per
minute set. You cannot touch the rail twice, or you will fail. This is
the only part of the whole CPAT where you cannot go more quickly than
the time allocated for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 2, the hose drag, involves
grabbing a nozzle on 200 feet of 1 ¾ hose and running with it 75 feet
to a drum then turning 90 degrees and running another 25 feet. You then
get on one knee and drag the hose until the first coupling, at 50 feet,
crosses the finish line. This is the only part of the CPAT that you can
run as fast as you can. If you fail to go around the drum, it's an
instant fail. If one of your knees is outside the finish-line 'box' you
get a warning. The second time it's a fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 3, the equipment
carry, involves carrying two saws around a cone and back to the starting
point. This starts by picking up each saw from a shelf and placing it
on the ground, one at a time. Once both saws are on the ground, they are
picked up at the same time, one in each hand, and carried around the
cone and back. They are then returned to the shelf in the reverse
sequence as they were removed, one at a time. If the saws fall or touch
the ground during the carry in any way, it's a fail. If you run at all,
it's a fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 4, the ladder raise and extension, involves
raising a 24 foot aluminum ladder from a lying position to a vertical
one against a wall. You then move to the side and extend the fly-section
of an identical ladder to its limit, then lower it back down to the
ground in a controlled, hand-over-hand manner. Any loss of control
during any part of this step, including having the rope slip in any
fashion, will result in an instant fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 5, forcible entry,
involves striking a 10lb sledge-hammer against a mechanical measuring
device which is meant to simulate the resistance of a typical front
door. Once the buzzer sounds, signalling that a successful amount of
force has been applied, the step is concluded. Dropping the sledge
hammer will result in an instant fail. Stepping outside of a marked box
that you are standing in to swing the sledge hammer will result in a
warning. A second warning is an instant fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 6, search,
involves crawling through a darkened 64 foot u-shape maze (two 90 degree
angles) with obstacles in your path requiring you to feel and make your
way through it. Any event that results in the candidate requiring
assistance out of the maze, either by panicking or running out of time,
will lead to an instant fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 7, rescue, involves dragging a
165lb dummy around a drum and back to the starting line, totalling 70ft.
If the candidate fails to drag the dummy around the drum, or the
candidate touches or rests on the drum, they instantly fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step
8, ceiling breach and pull, involves using a pike pole to perform four
complete sets of three repetitions of pushing up a hinged door, followed
by 5 repetitions of pulling down on a hook attached to a ceiling
device. Both the hinged door and the ceiling device provide a weighted
resistance. Stepping outside the designated area will result in a
warning. A second time will result in an instant fail. Candidates are
allowed to drop the pike-pole once, a second time will result in an
instant fail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even without failing any of the eight steps, you
must still complete them in a set time. If you go over the set time
unfortunately this results in an instant fail as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like most
fire fighters, I spent a few years working hard to get hired. This
resulted in my having done more CPATs than I care to remember. Because
most of these CPATs were out of town, I spent numerous hours sitting
around waiting for my turn, and this enabled me to see hundreds of other
candidates perform the CPAT. While the majority passed, a surprisingly
large number also failed - I would never have guessed that the failure
rate was as high as it was unless I saw it for myself. I saw people
pretty much fail at every single step. While many people failed for
technical reasons such as dropping the ladder, panicking in the maze,
not running around a drum, running when not supposed to, dropping a
sledge-hammer (pretty much every failure mentioned in the steps above
I've seen happen!) - The majority of people failed because they simply
were not in proper shape to undertake the CPAT, plain and simple. I've
seen people give up after less than a minute on the stair-climber! What
on earth were they thinking the job entailed? A lot of people managed to
make it through the CPAT, but not under the amount of time allocated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Passing
the CPAT requires that you get yourself in fire fighter shape. Fitness
programs such as the metabolic and strength conditioning combined with
powerlifting workouts are perfect for the particularities of becoming a
fire fighter. I've seen my share of body-builder types (the
stereotypical types that you would have to assume are in excellent shape
if you didn't know better) who made it off the stair-climber with
rubber legs looking like they just got off a boat that completed a 6
year journey at sea. They had no gas left in their tanks and couldn't
complete the rest of it in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fact of the matter is that
unless you train for all aspects of fitness, you will lack the strength,
endurance, cross-training, recovery, and general conditioning required
for not only passing the CPAT, but performing your job as a fire
fighter. Barely passing the CPAT is also not enough. Most fire services
one you get hired and are in their drill school have their own physical
tests which are much more demanding than the CPAT and have no problems
cutting you if you can't handle it. The days of getting instantly hired
for the rest of your life are behind us and recruits are at an ever
increasing chance of being let go due to poor physical conditioning.
Even more challenging than the drill school physical tests are dealing
with an actual fire. Ask any fire fighter with actual experience what
the difference is - it's pretty much day and night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The CPAT
should be seen as an absolute bear minimum of fitness level. If you
can't smoke the CPAT in under 7:30, you may get a nasty wake-up call in
drill school or worse, on the fire ground. You shouldn't be walking
around with your head high if you barely passed. Use the time between
the CPAT and getting hired to increase your physical conditioning! Being
in excellent physical condition is your responsibility once you get
hired - and if you are not willing to put in the sacrifice to achieve a
high level of fitness, this job simply isn't for you. There are numerous
programs out there that can take you to the next level, so look around
and do your homework. We like to think our program, which takes you
safely and effectively from beginner to advanced is great, but we're
obviously partial since we've seen great results from it and have been
perfecting it for over 4 years now. Whatever fitness program you come
across, give it your best. As a fire fighter, doing nothing is never an
option.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
General tips for passing the CPAT are as follows:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Get in shape!</li>
<li>Follow all directions</li>
<li>Familiarize yourself with all the steps</li>
<li>Hydrate yourself properly prior to starting</li>
<li>Eat a healthy breakfast on testing day (as you should every day)</li>
<li>Get a goodnight sleep</li>
<li>Don't stress out - Getting in shape, knowing what to expect, and being fueled will result in your success!</li>
</ul>
