Conclusion

Content: Surprisingly, even those students that met the expectations of their parents felt that they were failing and thus suffered from low self-esteem and anxiety. Having this additional parental pressure led to burnout and depression. 5. Stats confirm that competitiveness is one of the major sources of stress among college students. (The Washington Post, The Best Schools)
A few observations regarding the student stress levels in American colleges and high schools show that these institutions represent an “at-risk” environment for developing mental health problems, especially anxiety and depression. As noted, competitiveness already takes a toll on young people when they try to get admitted to a prestigious college. Once their university accepts them, the high-school graduates are already burnt out due to all the preparation and hard work. However, the high costs related to college studies add another layer of pressure; students try to outcompete their peers, and they continue to work relentlessly to make this happen. 6. | https://healthcareers.co/college-student-stress-statistics/ |

Mental health and gun violence
Conflating the two hurts those who need help most
Content: However, we can take definite steps to improving mental health care in the U.S. One avenue is strengthening the mental health “safety net,” making mental health care easily available and affordable to those who need it. 60% of people with mental illness won’t receive treatment each year, often as a result of access and affordability issues or fear of stigmatization. People with mental illness are more likely to be uninsured than those without, making care harder to come by. Particularly in rural areas, patients face shortages of behavioral health providers. Simultaneously, addressing mental health issues is a challenge for the health care system, as often providers must address the presence of one or more comorbid conditions. There are also proactive measures we could take using the public health model that improve learning and mental health for children. Introducing mental health promotion into school curriculums or after-school activities is an investment in kids’ social and emotional learning. This serves to promote health mental and social development for all children and provide easily-accessible support to at-risk children or demonstrating early signs of mental health problems. Bolstering the health care system to support mental health patients would improve care and quality of life for millions of Americans. As Monica Kriete says, “our emotional environment is the equivalent of John Snow ’s water pump.” | https://healthcareinamerica.us/mental-health-and-gun-violence-607dbb564fb6 |

Mental health and gun violence
Conflating the two hurts those who need help most
Content: However, this addresses issues broader than gun violence and does not address the omnipresence of firearms. It doesn’t ‘feel’ like gun control, and despite calls to improve mental health, is a low priority. As an example, the Trump administration has proposed eliminating $400 million in federal funding used to provide mental health assistance to students, as well as defunding the School Emergency Response to Violence program. Instead, in the panic after mass shootings, politicians opt for strict prohibitions for people with mental illness, which serves to further stigmatize mental illness. Instead of the common picture of mental illness leading to gun violence, they are two interdependent problems. If anything, widespread firearm deaths lead to a greater mental health burden in the rest of society. The real issue at hand is that our mental health system is not suited to the task of preventing gun violence, and should not be expected to. By strengthening mental and behavioral health resources, making care affordable and providers accessible, we can improve the country’s mental health care. To curb the epidemic of shooting deaths, we have to take steps to correct for a uniquely American problem: living in a country with nearly as many firearms as people. | https://healthcareinamerica.us/mental-health-and-gun-violence-607dbb564fb6 |

About Deborah Gordon
Content: If you have an employer-based plan
If you have insurance through an employer, your baby will be automatically covered for a set period immediately after birth. Notify your insurer, or your human resources or benefits department, within 30 days of the baby’s arrival to add them onto the insurance plan. Your baby will be enrolled retroactively as of their birth date and can’t be rejected for preexisting conditions. Any medical care they get in those early days will be covered if you sign up in time, even for services received before you signed up. Some employers offer extra time to enroll a newborn. Check your company’s rules. If you and/or your dependents are covered under Medicaid or a state Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP) but lose eligibility for that coverage, you have up to 60 days from the date you lose coverage to enroll in your employer’s plan. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published a rule 1 waiving certain timeframes, such as the deadlines for enrolling a newborn on a group health insurance plan. The rule will last until 60 days after the national public health emergency ends, or until a date determined by federal agencies. The pandemic conditions are ever-changing, so check the current rules. | https://healthcareinsider.com/health-insurance-babies-204928 |

About Deborah Gordon
Content: Do some research before the baby is born about what your health plan offers and sign up for any special programs for pregnancy and/or newborn care. Coverage During Special Situations
There are options for covering your baby even in special situations, such as losing your job. What If You Don’t Have Health Insurance? If you don’t have health insurance, now is the time to get it. You’ll need coverage for the baby’s delivery and for frequent newborn checkups. Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) 6 are insurance programs for low-income people, including pregnant women and children. Medicaid eligibility and program rules vary by state. Check with your state to see if you qualify for free or low-cost coverage. Some people on Medicaid pay a small portion of costs, while others pay nothing at all. CHIP covers children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid and, in some states, lower-income pregnant women. | https://healthcareinsider.com/health-insurance-babies-204928 |

People with pollen allergies may take pains to prevent the sneezing, wheezing, itching and general discomfort precipitated by the great outdoors during the spring, summer and autumn months. However, pollinating trees, grass and weeds are not the only culprits to incite hay fever’s undesirable symptoms. For many seasonal allergy sufferers, the ingestion and handling of certain foods also can instigate allergic reactions. Avoiding these foods may prevent these reactions.

Babies during the sixth week of fetal development still have a lot of growing left to do and lack many distinct features. During the first month, each baby "is an embryo consisting of two layers of cells from which all her organs and body parts will develop," according to BabyCenter. Resources for your journey...

During week six of your pregnancy, your baby will be roughly the size of a pea, and Women's Healthcare Topics says the measurements range between 2 and 5 mm. Your doctor will determine the size of your baby by taking a measurement during the ultrasound. The measurement is "referred to as 'crown-rump length' which is basically the distance from the top of your baby's head to his buttocks," according to Women's Healthcare Topics. This will seem very small, but during week four and five of fetal development, your baby only just over a millimeter long, so she is growing bit by bit. Growth and Development of Fetus at Six Weeks
Your baby's heart should beat about 100 to 140 beats per minute, and many of your babies features are well on their way to being fully formed by week six of your pregnancy, according to Women's Healthcare Topics. The position of the nose has shifted into the right place, and dark spots are starting to form where your baby's nostrils will eventually be. | https://healthfully.com/255325-how-big-is-my-unborn-baby-at-6-weeks.html |

Many schools have made menu changes to improve students' health, offering more salad choices, substituting baked foods for fried and switching from whole milk to low fat. Additionally, some colleges have eliminated trays from their cafeterias. While this was done primarily as a measure to cost costs on buying and washing trays, it also makes it more difficult for students to overload their trays with food that adds too many calories. Some schools have also decreased portion sizes, which helps reduce the total number of calories that are consumed.

How Schools Can Help Promote Healthy Eating
Learn More
School budgets often dictate using government surplus foods as part of their offerings, which the school can have converted by commercial processors into potentially unhealthy foods such as chicken nuggets, pork patties and pizza. Large corporations that offer financial incentives for selling their products -- which are rarely healthy food choices and generally contribute to obesity without adding any nutritional value-- make it hard for schools with strapped budgets to say no. If chips and snack foods -- which have calories but no nutrition -- are offered as part of the cafeteria lunch, students have a hard time turning them down. | https://healthfully.com/460727-how-bad-does-cafeteria-food-affect-a-students-health.html |

In secondary bed wetting, urinary tract infections or disease may also be the cause, but the problem could also be rooted in psychological stress. When Stress May be the Cause
The older the child, the more likely that stress is the cause of secondary bed wetting. Stress may be caused by many situations, such as the birth of a sibling, divorce, death of a family member, problems at school or child abuse. When it comes to child abuse, bed wetting is usually associated with sexual abuse. While bed wetting may be a warning sign of sexual abuse, it usually occurs in combination with other symptoms.

There are many reasons why healthy eating may be a challenge for you. Perhaps it is your busy schedule and limited time to prepare healthy meals. When your schedule starts to interfere with healthy eating habits, you are more likely to skip meals and choose convenient or fast foods to eat. If you go too long between meals and get to the point of feeling ravenous, you may snack on foods that you don't even like -- but at this point you’ll eat anything. If this sounds like you, then it is time to make healthy eating a priority. When you take care of yourself by eating healthy, you will be more focused, more productive and more efficient. This will keep you in control of your schedule instead of your schedule controlling you! Slow Down
Once you commit to make healthy eating a priority, it is important to be patient with yourself and to select only one to two goals at a time to work on. | https://healthfully.com/74545-eating-hard.html |

There is a great quote by famous comedian Dan Bennett: “ Probably nothing in the world arouses more false hopes than the first four hours of a diet.” In 2007, a review of several studies on dieting from the American Psychologist concluded that people who go on a diet typically gain back more weight than they lose. The body has an amazing ability to recognize when it is not getting what it needs, so dieting will only cause powerful cravings for the foods you are restricting. Nourish Your Body

People who have a lower income are more likely to eat unhealthy foods, points out the British Food Standards Agency. They are less likely to choose whole grains and fresh foods, and more likely to indulge in soda and processed foods. Unfortunately, unhealthy foods are often the most affordable, leading low-income families into a life of unhealthy eating and obesity along with poverty.

A time-crunched schedule can lead people to make poor diet choices, sacrificing healthy foods for quick and convenient ones. A working mother who is short on time, working outside of the home and running errands may stop at a fast food restaurant to feed her children, whereas someone who has less responsibility has more time to cook wholesome foods from scratch. History
If your parents always cooked you comforting but fatty meals, there's a good chance that those are the foods that you love and are comfortable with. Your parents and family life are a lead factor in your diet choices, as some of your food preferences were likely formed when you were a small child. Your preferences are then passed onto your children, which is why it is so important to choose healthy foods to perpetuate a cycle of healthy eating. | https://healthfully.com/83372-factors-affecting-persons-diet.html |

A working mother who is short on time, working outside of the home and running errands may stop at a fast food restaurant to feed her children, whereas someone who has less responsibility has more time to cook wholesome foods from scratch. History
If your parents always cooked you comforting but fatty meals, there's a good chance that those are the foods that you love and are comfortable with. Your parents and family life are a lead factor in your diet choices, as some of your food preferences were likely formed when you were a small child. Your preferences are then passed onto your children, which is why it is so important to choose healthy foods to perpetuate a cycle of healthy eating. Education

A study completed by Cambridge University found that education was a factor in the diet of choice 1. In fact, 59 percent of middle-aged, educated individuals ate a healthy diet, while only 47 percent of older, less-educated individuals ate healthily. Education, especially when it comes to education of health sciences and food choices, is an important way to learn about healthy diets and caring for your body. Age
The older you become, the less likely you are to indulge in an unhealthy diet, notes the Journal of the American Diabetic Association. When you're young, you're likely to eat a diet of foods high in sugar, saturated fats and artificial flavorings; | https://healthfully.com/83372-factors-affecting-persons-diet.html |

A High Number of Leukocytes
When blood tests reveal you have a higher than normal number of white blood cells (WBCs), or leukocytes, this is known medically as leukocytosis. White blood cell counts usually fall between 4,000 and 11,000 cells per microliter. There are different types of white blood cells: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils and even nondescript immature white blood cells known as blasts. An elevation of any one of these can cause leukocytosis, which is a fairly common laboratory finding. Additionally, WBC counts may be high for any number of reasons. Leukocytosis is a fairly common laboratory finding 1. Is This an Emergency? If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately. Causes of Leukocytosis

Causes of Facial Asymmetry
Facial asymmetry occurs when the face is not symmetrical or evenly balanced. Most of us have asymmetrical faces to a certain extent but not to the degree that is noticeable. However, at times, the asymmetry can be pronounced and very obvious. Asymmetrical facial problems can be congenital and show up at birth or may develop later on in life. Congenital Torticollis
According to Yourspine.com, if a child's head is tilted to one side or another (this is called congenital torticollis) this may be a precursor of facial asymmetry. If not treated, this condition can lead to curvature of the spine, scoliosis and significant unbalance of the face. Why It Occurs
Genetic Diseases of the Teeth
Learn More
Congential toricollis can be caused by malpositioning of the fetus while in utero or the use of vacuum extraction or forceps during delivery. Dental and Jaw Problems
Facial irregularities can occur if there are problems with an individual's teeth. Dento-facial orthopedics is the area of dentistry that specialize in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities that result in facial asymmetry. These dental specialists can use braces to bring the jaw, lip and teeth into alignment, which results in facial balance, according to the Mayo Clinic. | https://healthfully.com/causes-facial-asymmetry-5120350.html |

How to Heal a Popped Blood Vessel
Written by Contributor
27 July, 2017
Popped blood vessels can occur for a variety of reasons. Essentially, the skin has been damaged in a manner that caused a blood vessel underneath the surface to rupture. Oftentimes, popped blood vessels are due to falls or accidents that led to bruising. Other times, popped blood vessels may simply be due to the aging process or genetics. While popped blood vessels generally heal on their own, there are certain things you can do to encourage the healing process. Is This an Emergency? If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately. Apply a cold compress to the area. Use an ice pack or soak a washcloth in ice water. Hold it on the area for approximately 5 minutes. | https://healthfully.com/heal-popped-blood-vessel-4947638.html |

Wait. Popped blood vessels will heal on their own; the process just takes time. Generally, a popped blood vessel will fade within 2 to 3 weeks. There is no long-term damage from a popped blood vessel, so your skin should return to its normal condition. See a dermatologist. If you have a popped blood vessel that won't go away, your dermatologist may perform sclerotherapy on it. | https://healthfully.com/heal-popped-blood-vessel-4947638.html |

Powder coating health hazards arise from the powder's toxic content 2. Some of the toxic substances contained in the powder include lead and other carcinogens. Inhaling the dust can lead to respiratory disorders. The powder also causes irritation when it comes into contact with the skin. Preventive measures include wearing protective clothing like gloves and antistatic overalls that prevent the powder from reaching the skin and having appropriate respiratory equipment available. Another preventive measure is to provide proper ventilation and working exhaust fans in areas where powder coating is carried out.

Infection with Enterobius vermicularis is relatively mild and is usually associated with rectal itching and discomfort. Rarely, in young girls, the adult females leave the anus and accidentally migrate to the vagina and cause vaginitis.

Donating plasma helps people suffering from chronic illness, severe burns or trauma, as they receive vital plasma protein therapies that can improve the quality of their lives. The procedure is usually relatively painless, similar to getting blood drawn for lab tests or getting stung by a bee. If you experience more moderate pain or discomfort after donating plasma, there are some simple self-care procedures you can follow to help manage the soreness. Is This an Emergency? If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately. Wrap up in a blanket or heating pad. This staves off pain caused by stiffness and aches from feeling cold. Many patients report feeling chilled during the procedure, as blood is filtered through the plasma separation process before being returned to the body. This chill can give you temporary cold or flu like body pains. Herbal Remedies for Dermatitis Stasis

A young sexual abuse victim may suddenly seem fearful of certain people or situations, including avoiding situations in which she will encounter her abuser. They may be afraid or getting undressed even at appropriate times, such as for bathing, or seem fearful of visiting the doctor or being examined by a health professional, according to Langone Medical Center. Some children also become fearful or going to the bathroom despite earlier success. Physical Signs
Physical signs rarely are noticed in cases of child sexual abuse, according to the Stop It Now 3! organization. Still, some possible indications of sexual abuse include vaginal or anal discharge; pain or itching in the genital region; frequent urinary tract infections or sore throats; pain while urinating or having a bowel movement; and redness, bleeding, or bruising in the genital or anal area. | https://healthfully.com/signs-of-sexual-abuse-in-a-toddler-5625844.html |

Someone using marijuana generally suffers from the inability to accurately gauge the passage of time. This usually manifests in the user as a feeling of time going by slowly, but some individuals may overcompensate for the feeling and perceive events as going by more quickly than they are. To test an individual's perception of time, ask her to indicate when she believes one minute has gone by. Someone under the influence of marijuana will have difficulty with this task, and may believe the minute has elapsed when in reality only a few seconds have passed. Someone using marijuana generally suffers from the inability to accurately gauge the passage of time.

Power and Representation
Content: Conflict theory argues that the law and the coercive power of the state (which is generally believed to function in the service of the higher class) is commonly targeted and deployed against marginalized groups as a means of reinforcing the social structure. Additionally, they are more likely to be seen as undesirables and thus given harsher punishments than their counterparts from the dominant class. Power and Representation
Conflict theory illustrates how marginalized groups lack the power and representation necessary to better their place in the world, and how the status quo works to preserve and reproduce itself rather than change to accommodate equality. Thus, substance abuse is largely a social-structural problem, exacerbated by pre-existing social circumstances. Critics of conflict theory argue that structural inequality is not an excuse for making bad personal decisions, but they fail to realize that what they consider intolerable behavior in members of marginalized groups they often excuse in members of their own group. Since marginalized groups lack power in society, they also lack the representation and authority necessary to better their situation. Realizing this, they often sink further into the plights associated with substance abuse. However, through fighting for more representation and recognition in society, some communities manage to overcome their struggle with substance abuse.

What Causes a Low Pulse Oximeter Reading in Children? A pulse oximeter measures the amount of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen. Oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) between 96 and 100 percent are considered normal, according to nursing instructor Kathy Lawrence, M.S.N. of the University of Texas Medical Branch 2 3. A reading of 100 percent means that all the hemoglobin in the red blood cells is carrying oxygen molecules. Children with low oxygen saturation don't have enough oxygen in the hemoglobin, usually because of respiratory problems. Mechanical problems can also cause low readings. Respiratory Problems
Most children with low oxygen saturation have a respiratory disorder. Any disease that interfere with oxygen flow through the lungs can cause a low oxygen saturation, including conditions such as pneumonia, croup or chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis or bronchopulmonary disease, which makes the lungs stiff. Newborns who breathe irregularly or who have apneic periods where they stop breathing may also have low oxygen saturation. | https://healthfully.com/tell-oxygen-level-low-5474888.html |

Content: It's possible to use positive affirmations to help raise self-esteem by reaffirming positive attributes. Self-esteem refers to the way in which people view themselves and their worth. Signs of low self-esteem include shyness, anxiety about one’s appearance or competence, feelings of worthlessness and unnecessary guilt or shame. Anger and Aggression
While unpleasant, anger is a natural emotional response that can be useful when channeled effectively. When managed improperly, anger is capable of tearing apart relationships and leading to frequent altercations between individuals. Inappropriate anger can masquerade as jealousy, manipulation, suspicion or passive-aggressiveness. If allowed to continue unchecked, anger may even deteriorate into verbal or physical abuse. Long-term suppression of unpleasant emotions like anger can lead to inappropriate behaviors, reinforcing the need to handle anger as it arises.

Healthy Nails
Content: Hair grows an average of 3 inches a year, whereas nails usually grow about 1 1/2 inches a year. Significance
A doctor can tell a lot about a person’s overall health simply by looking at hair and nails. A healthy body will produce strong and smooth nails, whereas a diseased body will create dry, brittle, dotted, yellow, pink or otherwise irregular nails. A well-functioning kidney and thyroid, as well as balanced hormones, are especially essential for the healthy development of hair and nails. Types
Food or Vitamins for Nail Strengthening
Learn More
Several types of nutrients support nail and hair growth 1. When you ingest protein in foods such as animal meat or leafy green vegetables, your body breaks it down into amino acids, then redistributes it as needed to build new proteins specific to its needs. Because the production of keratin depends on this process, proteins are essential for nail growth. In addition, some of the amino acids necessary to produce keratin rely on having a sufficient amount of sulfur in the body. Vitamin A helps your body absorb protein correctly and is known to aid in the physical composition of hair and nails. Vitamin C works with zinc to create collagen, which helps develop healthy connective tissue to support other structures in your fingers and the rest of your body. | https://healthfully.com/what-makes-your-hair-nails-grow-5162118.html |

Because your hormones fluctuate at different stages of life and your body may change with age, your hair and nail quality and growth rate may decrease with age. Seasonal changes also affect growth; your nails and hair grow faster and stronger when they get plenty of Vitamin D and stay moist. Thus, during summer months, they grow more than in cold and dry winter months. | https://healthfully.com/what-makes-your-hair-nails-grow-5162118.html |

Hereditary Diseases List
The hereditary diseases list is an endless one. However in this article, you can find a few genetic disease examples. Hereditary diseases, also known as inherited diseases or genetic disorders, are diseases that are passed on from one generation to another through defective genes. These diseases are transmitted in the same family. In some cases, one generation of the family may only be the carrier of the defective gene and the next generation may get affected by the disease. The chromosomes in humans are responsible for passing the traits from the parent to the offspring. There are thousands of genes on the pair of chromosomes, X and Y, and each gene carries a trait. Usually genes carry normal traits but sometimes due to reasons unknown, the genes get altered resulting in a ‘mutant’ gene. The offspring inherits a copy of gene from each parent and if either one or both the copies of gene are mutated, then the offspring is at a risk of getting an inherited disease. Most of the time, parents are unaware that they are suffering from a particular disease and have passed on the defective gene to the child unless the child is afflicted. | https://healthhearty.com/hereditary-diseases-list |

Some of these diseases may be congenital (present at the time of birth) or can even occur after a while. There are some other inherited diseases where the females are just the carriers of the defective genes and pass on to the male members of the family. Genetic diseases usually fall into four categories which are given below: Autosomal Dominant Diseases
There is a specific pattern of inheritance of genes in autosomal dominant diseases. The offspring inherits a copy of normal gene and mutant gene from its parents. Either of the parents may often suffer from a disease and thus the abnormal gene is passed on to the child. | https://healthhearty.com/hereditary-diseases-list |

Content: This article provides some information on the same. Sulfa, or sulfonamide / sulphonamide, is a drug grouped under one umbrella term of sulfa/sulpha drugs. This drug when ingested by the general public, can have significant reactions that can be life-threatening if not treated in time. The allergic reactions caused by the drug range from mild to severe, depending on the frequency of one’s sulfa intake. These antibiotics are used to treat infections, however, because of their growing side effects, the use of these today are not as widespread as it was. The common sulfa antibiotics in the market are Bactrim, Septra, and Pediazole. Those who experience side effects and allergies, need to discontinue the use of these drugs, and take care of what they eat while on the treatment. Symptoms

Medicines to Stay Away from During a Sulfa Allergy
There are certain medicines that need to be completely removed and devoid from one’s everyday intake, since these can worsen the side effects that an affected person is already undergoing. Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole
Dapsone
Sulfamethoxazole
Celebrex
Glynase
Lasix
Azulfidine
Erythromycin/sulfisoxazole
Microzide
Diuretics
Imitrex
Diabeta
Amaryl
Micronase
Treatment
For treatment there are certain methods that one can go by to help with the ongoing symptoms and reactions. The first thing that would be obvious to anyone, would be to cease the use of these antibiotics, where most of the affected people experience a feeling of getting better once they are off the drugs. Injections like epinephrine are used as a treatment option when things become severe. Desensitization, which is a method of slowly using the sulfa drug on the affected person despite the side effects on the body (those who require these drugs in spite of its side effects), is where the build up of this drug over the course of a few hours or days, makes the system get used to its presence. The affected people are then monitored on a daily basis and kept under close observation by an allergist. For those going through serious syndromes like toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, allergists again come into play to help better their condition. It is important to always have one monitored repeatedly during the ingestion of these drugs to help the body cope with its strong effects.

Sulfa allergy and kidney damage are common sulfa drugs side effects. Read on to know more about the adverse effects of taking sulfonamides on the body and its interactions with several drugs. Sulfa drugs or sulfonamides are medications used to treat bacterial and fungal infections. Prontosil was the first one discovered by German physician Gerhard Domagk in 1935. Though not known to kill bacteria, these medicines inhibit their growth and help in treatment of bacterial infections. There are several known sulfa drugs side effects, but in spite of them, it is still used for the treatment of some form of malaria, urinary tract infection, ear infection, bacterial meningitis, and many other infections. Sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin) and combination drug sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Cotrim) are the most common types of sulfonamides. These are available in liquid form or as tablets for oral and topical use. | https://healthhearty.com/sulfa-drugs-side-effects |

Wrist Sprain Symptoms

Treatment
Content: This is because, the tough fibrous tissue of ligaments do not get healed up easily. As the pain goes down, start moving your fingers to and fro, without moving the wrists. This will increase blood flow to the wrist and enhance healing. Before resuming normal activities, you must do some wrist strengthening exercises that involve a lot of stretching of the joint. Such wrist exercises will strengthen the wrist and make it more flexible and thus reduce the chances of any further injury. In rare cases, where the ligaments are completely torn, surgery is needed to repair the damage. The time required for the wrist sprain to heal is different for every individual. If the treatment starts as soon as the symptoms are observed, one can recover from it quite faster. However, delay in wrist sprain treatment can worsen the condition and the injury may take longer time to heal. Like it? | https://healthhearty.com/wrist-sprain-symptoms |

Informatics is changing the face of healthcare. As technology advances, healthcare organizations and providers are able to collect, analyze and leverage data more effectively, influencing the way care is delivered, resources are managed and teams operate each day. You would be hard-pressed to find an aspect of medicine that has yet to be touched by the mass collection and analysis of data that has been ushered in by the Information Age. One specific area that health informatics is having a significant impact on is the practice of nursing. Though the mission of nursing remains unchanged, the daily work of these professionals is being strongly influenced by informatics, with particular attention to the accuracy and communication of patient data and care. Health informatics in nursing
The nursing profession is rapidly changing to keep up with advancements and new challenges in the healthcare field. As direct caregivers, nurses are in the front lines of patient care and consequently often feel the impact of changes in best practices more immediately than other healthcare professionals. Spyros Kitsiou, Assistant Professor of Biomedical and Health Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago, reported that there are three specific challenges that healthcare is currently facing: the aging population, the incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases – such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and pulmonary disease – and the shortage of doctors and nurses. | https://healthinformatics.uic.edu/blog/the-impact-of-health-informatics-on-nursing-practice/ |

Though these problems are diverse, there is a solution that addresses all three: data. “A lot of these challenges can be supported by the avocation of information and communication technologies, particularly as hospitals are becoming more and more interested in reducing their costs and shifting care from hospital care to home care,” Spyros said. “ Information and communication technologies, mobile health devices, wearable technologies are all becoming very, very important for supporting remote patient monitoring and home care.” In nursing, as with healthcare in general, informatics is being used to address the challenges of the day, significantly impacting the way nurses function in patient care. | https://healthinformatics.uic.edu/blog/the-impact-of-health-informatics-on-nursing-practice/ |

One of the primary ways that informatics has changed nursing practice is through documentation. Gone are the days of paper charts that had to be meticulously updated with handwritten notes. Today, nurses are more likely to input notes into electronic health records and other systems that keep a patient’s medical history up-to-date and easily accessible. The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society reported that as the result of electronic charting, nurses are able to obtain information quickly and efficiently, using the information to improve the daily workflow. Storing the information electronically is more easily available to all members of the care team, including the physician and other care providers, as well as staff teams at other healthcare organizations that the patient may visit. | https://healthinformatics.uic.edu/blog/the-impact-of-health-informatics-on-nursing-practice/ |

As the U.S. population becomes more mobile, it is increasingly important that their personal medical records can travel with them to any office or medical organization they may visit during their lifetime. Health informatics is also an important part of care coordination in nursing. The ability to track staffing, workflow and communication can help nurses to identify areas where current processes can be improved. This can also help ensure that staffing levels remain adequate, which is critical for providing patients with the best possible care. If the nurse-to-patient ratio drops too low, patients are more likely to suffer adverse results. | https://healthinformatics.uic.edu/blog/the-impact-of-health-informatics-on-nursing-practice/ |

Evidence-based practices have long been an essential part of nursing. Today, determining those best practices involves the use of health informatics. Analyzing the mass quantities of data collected regarding patient care and outcomes helps to determine how best to treat these conditions and situations in the future. The more data that is collected and analyzed, the more accurate the resulting conclusions tend to be, providing the best possible information for determining how best to care for patients in the future. | https://healthinformatics.uic.edu/blog/the-impact-of-health-informatics-on-nursing-practice/ |

Content: At this position, just below the spleen, the large intestine bends downward, forming the left colic flexure (splenic flexure) and continues as the descending colon through the left flank and into the left groin. Ascending, transverse, and descending colons thus form a squarish, three-sided frame around the small intestine. The cecum is a blind pouch in the lower right abdominal quadrant inferior to the ileocecal valve. Attached to its lower end is the appendix, a blind tube 2 to 7 cm long. The appendix is densely populated with lymphocytes and is a significant source of immune cells. Figure 1. Large intestine
The pelvic cavity is narrower than the abdominal cavity, so at the hip bone, the colon turns medially and travels along the iliac fossa before turning downward at the pelvic inlet into the pelvic cavity. The resulting S-shaped portion of the tract is called the sigmoid colon. Visual examination of this region is performed with an instrument called a sigmoidoscope. In the pelvic cavity, the large intestine continues as the rectum, about 15 cm long. | https://healthjade.com/large-intestine/ |

In the pelvic cavity, the large intestine continues as the rectum, about 15 cm long. Despite its name, the rectum is not quite straight but has three lateral curves as well as an anteroposterior curve. It has three infoldings called transverse rectal folds (rectal valves), which enable it to retain feces while passing gas. The final 3 cm of the large intestine is the anal canal, which passes through the levator ani muscle of the pelvic floor and terminates at the anus. Here, the mucosa forms longitudinal ridges called anal columns with depressions between them called anal sinuses. As feces pass through the canal, they press the sinuses and cause them to exude extra mucus and lubricate the canal during defecation. | https://healthjade.com/large-intestine/ |

Small intestine
The small intestine is the longest part of the alimentary canal and it begins at the pyloric sphincter of the stomach, coils through the central and inferior part of the abdominal cavity, and eventually opens into the large intestine. The term small intestine refers not to its length but to its diameter—about 2.5 cm (1 in.). The small intestine is approximately 6 to 7 m long (range 3–7 m) with a narrowing diameter from beginning to end. The small intestine consists of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. The small intestine receives chyme from the stomach and secretions from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. It completes digestion of the nutrients in chyme, absorbs the products of digestion, and transports the residue to the large intestine. The small intestine the site of most enzymatic digestion and about 90 percent of all nutrients absorption and most of the rest occurs in the proximal portion of the large intestine. Its length alone provides a large surface area for digestion and absorption, and that area is further increased by circular folds, villi, and microvilli. Most digestive enzymes that operate within the small intestine are secreted not by the intestine, but by the pancreas. During digestion, the small intestine undergoes active segmentation movements, shuffling the chyme back and forth and thereby maximizing its contact with the nutrient-absorbing mucosa. | https://healthjade.com/small-intestine/ |

Content: however, deep contusions may not be visible on the skin surface for several days after the injury occurs. Examination of adjacent or underlying subcutaneous soft tissues may aid in distinguishing between contusion, in which there will be hemorrhage due to rupture of blood vessels, and lividity, a postmortem change in which blood is contained within blood vessels. Characteristics of fractures and associated soft tissue and/or skeletal muscle injuries may aid in establishing directionality of the impact causing the wound; for example, bumper impact to a pedestrian’s legs often results in comminuted fractures of the tibia and/or fibula with a triangular bone fragment pointing in the direction the vehicle was moving. The management of blunt force trauma patients is with an interprofessional team that includes a trauma surgeon, emergency department physician, nurse practitioner, anesthesiologist, internist, and specialty-trained emergency and trauma nurses. After the secondary survey is done by the team, other specialists can be consulted as appropriate. All over the U.S., hospitals now have protocols to manage blunt force trauma. The outcomes of these patients depend on their age, type of injury, other comorbidities, time to treatment and number of organs involved. While mortality rates have dropped over the past 3 decades, a significant number of trauma patients still die either at the scene or upon arrival to the trauma center. The clinicians should focus on completing the first and secondary survey and performing procedures. | https://healthjade.net/blunt-force-trauma/ |
