Change dirty diapers as soon as possible, even if it is just wet. Doing this will reduce the skin's exposure to moisture which can worsen a diaper rash.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Apply a zinc oxide diaper cream with each diaper change. Zinc can speed up skin healing, soothe the skin, and calm the itching.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Be gentle when cleaning the diaper area. You don't want to irritate the skin more. If the rash is severe, use a squirt bottle of water to clean the area, as doing so is gentler to the skin.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Keep the skin dry. Better still, let your child go diaper-free as long as possible to let the skin dry and heal</div><div><br /></div><div>5. See a doctor. If your child has a fever, blisters, pus that drains from the rash, a rash that does not go away or worsens, is in pain or is hard to console, it could mean they have a severe skin infection.</div><div><br /></div><div>Did this make sense?

But black does crack, it just shows differently. Instead of wrinkles appearing first, we get dark spots (uneven skin color), our chins sag, cheeks become hollow and pockets of fatty tissue develop under the eyes. To delay this, do use sun protection and retinol products.</span></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">3. <b><u>Sunscreen is unnecessary</u></b></span></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">False. The sun's rays contain two types of ultraviolet radiation that reach our skin: UVA and UVB. UVB radiation burns the upper layers of skin (the epidermis), causing sunburns. UVA radiation is what makes us tan (get dark). Our melanin is only as good as SPF 13 and we need more than that. </span></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our best defence against the harsh effects of skin damage is to either apply sunscreen or to apply a vitamin C product underneath sunscreen to fight environmental and free-radical damage. </span></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Did this make sense?

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "proxima nova" , , sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-size: 28px;">Awake craniotomy simply means a patient is awake and alert when the brain is being operated on. It is often the preferred option when treating brain tumors in functionally important areas of the brain or in patients with epilepsy.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "proxima nova" , , sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-size: 28px;">Allowing the patient to stay awake lets the doctors test regions of the brain (cortical mapping)before they are incised or removed and also to test the patient’s function continuously throughout the operation.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "proxima nova" , , sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-size: 28px;">Cortical mapping involves stimulating the brain's surface with a tiny electrical probe. If a motor region of the brain is stimulated, it may cause twitching of a limb or face; a sensory area will cause a tingling feeling; the speech areas will prevent the patient from speaking very briefly. By mapping out the important regions of the brain first, doctors can aim to avoid and protect them during the operation.</span></span><br />

While it may not look pleasant, cupping is definitely intriguing.</div>
<div>
It is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China and involves placing cups on the skin to create suction.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
There are two types: Wet cupping and Dry cupping. With wet cupping, cups are usually only in place for a few minutes before the practitioner removes the cup and makes a small incision to draw blood. After the cups are removed, the practitioner may cover the previously cupped areas with ointment and bandages. </div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Does cupping work?</div>
<div>
A number of studies have examined this question, but unfortunately don’t seem to have convincingly answered it. In fact, a 2015 review of the evidence found that cupping might provide some relief for chronic neck or back pain, but that the quality of the evidence was too limited to draw firm conclusions.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Is this something you can try?</div>

<div>
In ancient times, trepanation, also known as trephination was thought to be a treatment for various ailments, including migraines.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
The practice continued well into 1936, when Alfred Goltman, a physician from Tennessee, observed something strange about a nurse with a migraine that he was treating for allergies. In the left frontal region of her skull, the woman had a depression, with a marked concentration of blood vessels. Four years earlier, the first neurosurgeon in Memphis, Dr Raphael Eustace Semmes, had drilled a small circular opening known as a “burr hole” into her skull during one her severe headaches under local anesthetic. The nurse survived the surgery, but her migraine headaches did not stop.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Goltman later noticed that during her headaches the depression left by the surgery began to fill up. As the migraine attack ended, the swelling would recede. Goltman’s observations helped influence the widespread acceptance of a theory that would dominate understanding of migraine until the 1970s: that the origin of migraine headache must be vascular, characterised by dilation of the blood vessels during the attack.</div>

Doctors and medical professionals in Kolkata have launched massive protests after an intern doctor at a government medical college and hospital in the city was beaten up and left with a fractured skull over the death of a 75-year-old patient.<br />
.<br />
Family members of the deceased patient were upset over his death and alleged that the man died due to medical negligence. They also said that the body was not handed over to them on time.<br />
.<br />
Two junior doctors, who were facing protests by the patient's family, were left injured in the violent clashes. One junior doctor, Paribaha Mukhopadhyay who sustained a fractured skull underwent a skull surgery on Tuesday, is now stable but will need medication to prevent convulsions in the future according to the Telegraph India.<br />
.<br />
To protest the attack, the Indian Medical Association initiated a nationwide strike and today is being observed as black Friday<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">According to Chiang, the antidote to fake health news is to drown out untrustworthy content with tweets, pics and posts from medical experts that the average American can relate to.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">He noted that doctors have historically been reluctant to build a following on social media for a variety of reasons. They view it as a waste of time, they don’t know how, or they fear they might say the wrong thing and get in trouble with an employer. Others prefer to spend their time communicating with their peers via academic journals. But as Chiang points out, most consumers do not pore over the latest scientific literature. So health professionals need to take the time to start connecting with them where they do spend their time — and that’s on Facebook and Instagram.To spread these ideas, he’s set up a new group for health professionals dubbed the Association for Healthcare Social Media.</span></span></div>

<span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: red;"><b>Acromegaly</b></span> is a hormonal disorder that develops when the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood. The excess growth hormone makes the bones increase in size especially in the face, hands, and feet.</span></div>

Although both gigantism and acromegaly can cause increased growth, they are not exactly the same. While gigantism refers to abnormally high linear growth due to excessive action of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) when the epiphyseal growth plates are open during childhood, acromegaly occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood and usually<span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> affects middle-aged adults</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">.</span></div>

<div>
Many of the generic drug companies that Americans and Africans alike depend on, hold a dark secret: they routinely adjust their manufacturing standards depending on the country buying their drugs, a practice that could endanger not just those who take the lower-quality medicine but the population at large.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's been reported that these companies send their highest-quality drugs to markets with the most vigilant regulators, such as the U.S. and the European Union. They send their worst drugs — made with lower-quality ingredients and less scrupulous testing — to countries with the weakest review.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some companies claim that, while their drugs are all high-quality, there may be some variance in how they are produced because regulations differ from market to market.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dr. Gordon Donnir, former head of the psychiatry department at the Komfo Anokye teaching hospital in Kumasi, treats middle-class Ghanaians in his private practice and says that almost all the drugs his patients take are substandard, leading him to increase his patients’ doses significantly. While his European colleagues typically prescribe 2.5 milligrams of haloperidol (a generic form of Haldol) several times a day to treat psychosis, he’ll prescribe 10 milligrams, also several times a day, because he knows the 2.5 milligrams “won’t do anything.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In conclusion, although the low cost of generic drugs makes them essential to global public health, if those bargain drugs are of low quality, they do more harm than good. So please be aware and vigilant.</div>

<div>
The correct answer is B: Compartment syndrome.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Compartment syndrome is a painful condition that usually develops over a few hours after a serious injury to an arm or leg that causes pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
This increased pressure can decrease blood flow, preventing nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
<div>
Some symptoms of acute compartment syndrome include:</div>
<div>
A new and persistent deep ache in an arm or leg</div>
<div>
Pain that seems greater than expected for the severity of the injury</div>
<div>
Numbness, pins-and-needles, or electricity-like pain in the limb</div>
<div>
Swelling, tightness and bruising</div>
</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Acute compartment syndrome is a medical emergency that without treatment can lead to permanent muscle damage.</div>

LED lights, popular for using only a fifth of the electricity needed for an incandescent bulb can damage the eye's retina and disturb natural sleep rhythms, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) said this week.<br />
<br />
Acute exposure to high-intensity LED light and chronic exposure to LED light can "accelerate the aging of retinal tissue, contributing to a decline in visual acuity and certain degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration," the agency concluded.<br />
<br />
<br />
LED cellphone, tablet and laptop screens do not pose a risk of eye damage because their luminosity is very low compared to other types of lighting, Francine Behar-Cohen, an ophthalmologist and head of the expert group that conducted the review, told journalists.<br />
<br />
But these back-lit devices -- especially when they are used at night or in a dark setting -- can "disturb biological rhythms, and thus sleep patterns," the agency cautioned.<br />
<br />
Interfering with the body's circadian rhythm is also known to aggravate metabolic disorders such a diabetes, as well as cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, noted Dina Attia, a researcher and project manager at ANSES.<br />

<br />
This picture shows a grape in the airway.<br />
<br />
The patient was a 43-year-old man who died of asphyxiation (lack of oxygen) after swallowing a grape without chewing.<br />
.<br />
When someone is choking with a completely blocked airway, no oxygen can enter the lungs. The brain is extremely sensitive to this lack of oxygen and begins to die within four to six minutes. It is during this time that first aid must take place. Irreversible brain death occurs in as little as 10 minutes.<br />
.<br />
If you notice anyone around you choking, encourage them to cough forcefully but if that does not expel the object, obtain permission before performing the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) to dislodge the object<br />
.<br />
How to perform the Heimlich maneuver:<br />
1. Stand behind the person. Place one foot slightly in front of the other for balance. Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly. If a child is choking, kneel down behind the child.<br />
2. Make a fist with one hand. Position it slightly above the person's navel.<br />
3. Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press hard into the abdomen with a quick, upward thrust — as if trying to lift the person up.<br />
4. Perform between six and 10 abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.<br />
.<br />
If you have any question or contribution, please leave it in the comments.<br />

The Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Gauteng has successfully performed the world's first 3D-printed total middle-ear transplant on two patients.</div>

One patient was born with an underdeveloped middle ear and the second patient, a 35-year-old male whose middle ear was completely damaged in a car accident can hear again.</div>

The middle ear bones (ossicles) used in the procedure were developed by Professor Mashudu Tshifularo and his team and 3D-printing technology was used to print the bones. They effectively replaced the hammer, anvil, stirrup and the ossicles that make up the middle ear.</div>

“By replacing only the ossicles that aren’t functioning properly, the procedure carries significantly less risk than known prostheses and their associated surgical procedures. We will use titanium for this procedure, which is biocompatible. We use an endoscope to do the replacement, so the transplant is expected to be quick, with minimal scarring,” explained</div>

"3D technology is allowing us to do things we never thought we could," said Prof Tshifularo, who is head of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat) at UP. "But I need sponsors and funding for this invention to take off the ground.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The correct answer is C (Drooling).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Epiglottitis and pharyngeal abscess pose a serious threat to the airway and it is important to avoid confusing them with simple tonsillopharyngitis.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">With epiglottitis, there is an abrupt onset of severe throat pain and dysphagia, usually with no preceding URI symptoms. Children with epiglottitis often have drooling and signs of toxicity. Sometimes (more often in children), there are respiratory manifestations of tachypnea, dyspnea, stridor, and sitting in the tripod position.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A pharyngeal examination should not be done in children if epiglottitis is suspected because it may trigger complete airway obstruction. Children with pharyngeal abscess may have a muffled, “hot potato” voice.</span></div>

<div>
📍Testicular torsion happens if the testicle rotates on the spermatic cord. This twisting of the cord causes the blood supply to the testes to stop, accompanied by sudden, severe pain, swelling, nausea, and vomiting.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
If the torsion is prolonged, it can lead to the death of the testicle and surrounding tissues.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Making a diagnosis fast in this condition is very important to prevent irreversible damage to the testes is important. This can be done with a physical examination and confirmed by color Doppler ultrasonography.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Clinical diagnosis can be made using the TWIST (Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion) scoring system TWIST consists of the following urological history and physical examination parameters:</div>
<div>
Testis swelling (2 points)</div>
<div>
Hard testis (2)</div>
<div>
Absent cremasteric reflex (1)</div>
<div>
Nausea/vomiting (1)</div>
<div>
High-riding testis (1)</div>
<div>
Below 2 points are low-risk patients and above 5 pints are high-risk patients.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Treatment is immediate manual detorsion followed by surgery.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">These ‘elite controllers’ have long been the targets of research into how their immune systems control HIV replication, and whether treatments such as therapeutic vaccines could induce the same state in other HIV-positive people, enabling them to stop taking ART.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">Besides having aa reduced viral count, elite controllers are also associated with elevated CD4 cell counts and reduced risk of AIDS and death.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px;">It is noteworthy that no single genetic characteristic has been identified that is shared by a majority of elite controllers. They are also different from people with the genetic mutation known as CCR5-delta 32 that hampers HIV's ability to infiltrate immune cells.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
According to reports, Steven Spencer, 27, tested positive for HIV in December, despite using PrEP before and after sexual encounters in line with the advice of doctors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
PrEP is an acronym that stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. It involves HIV negative people taking antiretroviral drugs to protect them and prevent HIV infection – just one tablet a day of Truvada.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Most doctors recommend taking the blue pill daily for it to be around 99 per cent effective, but Mr Spencer was following the "on-demand approach" — which can be recommended to PrEP users who don't have regular sex.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mr Spencer started HIV treatment the day he was diagnosed and after six weeks his viral load was undetectable, meaning the virus is unable to be transmitted during sexual intercourse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He said the last thing he wanted was for people to start doubting the effectiveness of PrEP.</div>

Smoking tobacco is a significant risk factor for developing cancer of the larynx (voice box).</div>
<div>
If the cancer is advanced or very bulky, a total laryngectomy (removal of the larynx) may be necessary.</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div>
Removing the larynx means the mouth is no longer connected to the trachea, so it is impossible to send air from the lungs through the mouth to speak. So surgeons create a permanent stoma (opening) to breathe through. This stoma is called a laryngectomy stoma. You might also hear it called a tracheostomy.</div>
