Physiology & Medicine / How do we combat the problem of smoking in the population?

« on: 30/08/2018 22:55:17 »

I'm interested in this problem because my father died from smoking. The pollution caused by cigarettes does not stop in our bodies or in the air; it also affects the land in which we live, and the water we drink. Every day millions of cigarette butts are thrown to the ground. They find themselves in rivers and lakes, where fish and animals eat them by mistake and quite often die from it. The rest is left on the ground to decompose, which will take an average of 25 years, while all chemicals and additives leach to the ground and pollute the soil and plants. It looks unattractive, this is a great fire hazard in dry weather, and it is extremely harmful to the environment.
Probably, the most influential aspect of cigarettes actually produces them. There is land used to grow crops around the world that could be better used by planting more trees or products for starving children in third world countries. These crops are also often sprayed with a large amount of harmful pesticides and chemicals, because tobacco is a very fragile plant and is likely to become ill. It also requires a lot of trees for the production and packaging of cigarettes. The production of cigarettes uses four miles of paper per hour only for rolling and packing cigarettes. One tree is wasted for every three hundred cigarettes. These trees can filter out pollutants already in the air, instead of hacking them to add new ones.
The tobacco industry is completely unwilling to use more advanced technologies to reduce the impact that they have on the environment, as every year it gets too many of its billions of dollars in profits. They often try to grow more trees, but because they use trees to dry the tobacco and for rolling and packaging, it probably does not concern the environment, but concerns the loss of wood sources that encourage them to do so. They do not care about the contamination of our bodies, so it is unlikely that they will think twice about pollution.
The only way to stop them from harming the environment is to stop buying their products. Quitting smoking is difficult, but it can be done, and it's not just that smokers harm their bodies, but also about the harm they cause on the ground, and the pain they cause their friends and families.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why do fingernails feel weak when they are cut?

« on: 29/08/2018 20:19:27 »

I think that the Cosmetic industry is trying to convince us that the main reason for the fragility of nails is illiterate nail care, and in particular, a bad manicure. This is true, but this is not the main reason - it is one of many. After all, there are women who rarely do manicure or do not do it at all, and the condition of their nails is completely different: some have their nails even and strong, and someone suffers and suffers from their fragility all the time. In addition, this problem is familiar to many men.
The use of aggressive household chemicals is also often put on the first place, however we do not erase, do not clean the dishes or shells with our feet, but the toenails are also often subjected to negative changes, and become as fragile as on the hands. This is no less dangerous, and even more: if the hands are always in sight, we keep our feet in closed shoes for most of the year, and here an inattentive attitude can lead to fungal infections that turn into serious diseases. Nails on their legs can be destroyed and even completely peeled off from their fingers - that is, they can simply be lost.
About fingernails or nails on arms or hand it is spoken more often and more, therefore at first we will tell about problems of fragility of fingernails or nails on legs or foots. In most cases, the problem is due to weak immunity associated with other factors: exposure to radiation and electromagnetic radiation, the intake of various drugs and heredity. The latter factor is not so common, but its influence must be taken into account. These are the diseases that are now active: these are problems with thyroid, liver, adrenal glands; diabetes, psoriasis.
Sweating and tight shoes are also frequent causes of problems with the nails.
I think I helped you with the information.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: How does the human tongue work?

« on: 29/08/2018 19:59:07 »

Hey. I really like this forum. Here you can see unusual questions and find unusual answers. About the only interest that a person has in the language, when something abnormal occurs; for example, when there is pain or there is some unusual taste factor when there is a burning sensation from excessive heating, accidental bite or when exposed to strong aromas that are spicy, bitter, sweet, sour, etc.
Since the human language usually remains out of sight, it is not considered as valuable as other sensory parts of the body, but if people think that they can do without their languages, they should reevaluate this delusion.
For example, when a person pushes a tongue out of his mouth and gently squeezes it between his teeth, then if that person tries to talk, let him / she see that speech under such circumstances can be understood.
The tongue is especially important when chewing or chewing food, rolling it in the mouth, so these materials are evenly broken and become more acceptable for the stomach for digestion. The tongue helps in swallowing, when the front part is pressed against the hard sky in the roof of the mouth. This is followed by the back of the rearguard, pushing food into the passage leading to the esophagus.
Although this may seem like a simple activity, it is really a necessary function that is carried out by the nerves and is performed by complex muscles. A person usually knows how to swallow before birth, which shows how important the swallowing reflex is for its existence.
Saying is another consideration, because a person must be trained in such unusual neuromuscular actions. The child usually experiments with sounds for two or more years before he can make simple sentences. As people grow older, the language can flex itself into many different forms for more complex expressions.
I hope I helped you.

Complementary Medicine / Get healthier - get happier!

« on: 25/08/2018 19:57:24 »

Do you remember how you felt the last time you got sick? Sure, getting some days off of school or work is appealing but not when you’re home in pain, taking medicine that tastes awful and not being able to go anywhere to have fun!

How happy did you feel? Not very right? Ok, so I know that a lot of you feel so much happier when you eat foods that you love (like all those junk foods!), and you enjoy going out with friends till mid-morning, enjoying drinks, inhaling other people’s smoke and ‘having fun!’ You also probably prefer laying around in bed or on the couch watching TV all day eating chips and eating soda, rather than getting up and getting some exercise, right?

Well, all you need to do now is to decide which life you prefer. Yes, it's true, the junk food loving, partying, no exercising lifestyle does lead to sickness and sometimes premature death! Don’t be frightened. Even though what I am saying is true, you can make just a few simple changes and have a much better outlook.

It’s called balance! Even though you may feel young mentally and emotionally now, one day you might still be young, but in an old body. Poor eating habits or improper food choices, can cause premature aging starting with your cells, leading to premature death.

So, how about exchanging some of those unhealthy food choices with some of the more healthy ones that you keep hearing about? Fruit and cereal for breakfast doesn’t sound too bad, does it? Or how about a salad or chili as a side dish instead of fries? How about popcorn with light butter instead of the extra butter you often choose at the movies?

General Science / Re: What do nerves do in a human?

« on: 25/08/2018 19:25:10 »

Hey. Do not quite understand what exactly you asked. Information about this a lot on the Internet.
The human nervous system is, perhaps, the most complex system of any organism. Only the human brain contains more than 100 billion nerve cells, and each nerve cell can have up to 10,000 connections to other nerve cells.
This means that the nerve impulse is an electrochemical signal or from the brain can travel along 1015 possible routes. The nervous system has two main departments: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The peripheral nervous system includes nerves that carry sensory messages into the central nervous system and nerves that send information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.
There are three types of nerves in the human body, called sensory nerves, motor nerves and mixed nerves.
Sensory nerves. These are the nerves that send messages to the brain or spinal cord from the senses. They are enclosed in the form of bundles, like structures or nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system. They are information from PNS to CNS.
Motor nerves - motor nerves - are those nerves that carry messages in the form of a response from the brain or spinal cord to other parts of the body, such as muscles and glands. They are responsible for the transmission of information from the CNS to the PNC
Mixed nerves are nerves that perform both sensory nerve action and motor nerve. Spinal nerves are functionally mixed and carry both sensory and motor fibers.
The neuron itself has a primary structure with an axon or soma body, a bunch of squiggles on a soma, called dendrites, and a long unfortunate structure called an axon, with synaptic pens on the other side of the axon. Nerve fiber is a set of axons that extends from the body of the cell to the point where it innervates. The nerve fiber also contains other cells, such as Schwann cells, which create a layer around the nerve, called the myelin sheath.
Based on what the nerves do and what they transport, they can be classified.
These can be nerves that arise from the brain itself, called the cranial nerves or those that arise from a spinal column called the spinal nerves.

Physiology & Medicine / What is your opinion about surrogate motherhood?

« on: 25/08/2018 13:42:45 »

When individuals or couples can not naturally bear children, they have several other alternatives at the beginning of the family. Of course, although adoption is one option, many want to see the child through conception, pregnancy, birth and upbringing. For some, there is also the problem of having a real biological connection with this child.
Often these people choose the process of surrogate motherhood in order to achieve their goal of having a child. In this situation, a third person, called the surrogate mother, will carry the embryo throughout the pregnancy, rejecting the child to his prospective parents at birth.
Using a surrogate mother to give birth to children for couples who are unable to conceive for themselves is a process that is thousands of years old. This is proved in the writings of the Bible in the story of Abraham and his wife Sarah, who was barren.
Although the Bible does not specifically prohibit the very process of surrogate motherhood, it raises the question of whether it is moral and / or ethical, if it is considered moral, regarding the content of children conceived for love and born only of two persons who are married couple .
In addition to the numerous problems that surround the surrogate to help with the conception of the child and the birth, there is also an ethical and moral question that some groups have with those who actually act as a surrogate mother.
Some believe that the use of a surrogate mother to assist with the birth of a child is a privilege that is reserved only for the rich, since the cost can be prohibitive for the majority. However, there are many surrogate motherhood clinics that offer payment plans - and even reimbursements for unsuccessful pregnancy attempts - so the process can soon become much more popular.
Although, of course, moral issues are important for following and observing, it is difficult to judge anyone if they do not "pass a mile in the shoes of another person." In this case, many believe that infertility is a medical condition - and while someone does not actually face reality, when he can not have a child, it is difficult to understand how truly this situation is destructive.

Physiology & Medicine / Is it true that irrigation of the colon "has never been clinically useful"?

« on: 25/08/2018 12:48:08 »

Are you sure that the rectum gives you energy and can improve headaches, allergies and acne? Colon therapy is encouraged by celebrity endorsements and their websites. Gwyneth Paltrow argues that "for the uninitiated large intestine this is, in fact, the method of moisturizing and irrigation of your colon - part of your intestine, which is about five feet in length."
The Association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists offers a career path - 11 days of training, and you can practice. Purification of the intestine has existed since ancient times, but this does not make it effective. Can large volumes of warm water (up to 60 liters) pump up your rectum, really cleanse toxins and any muck, lining of the intestine and make you feel great?
that the digestive system knows how to eliminate waste and toxins. It seems to me that there is no evidence that toxins accumulate on the walls of the intestine, not to mention the fact that it was caused by "poor removal of waste from the colon."
I read reports of cases of column hydrotherapy, causing abscesses of the pelvis, pushing air into the veins in the intestine and the appearance of gangrene around the anus and the imbalance of electrolytes from all this fluid. According to this study, studies to show this are not useful, but certainly are a sign of harm and even the fact that people have died from it.

Complementary Medicine / Re: Are there any home remedies for jock itch?

« on: 24/08/2018 09:32:47 »

We often think that the skin is a barrier - it keeps the insides of our bodies, and it keeps the outside world. But our skin is also filled with special cells of the immune system. These cells protect the skin and body from viruses, bacteria and other threats. Whenever these cells detect a suspicious substance, they begin a chain reaction to the skin, which leads to inflammation. The medical name of this reaction is dermatitis. But it is often called a rash.
There are many different types of dermatitis, and each of them has an excellent set of procedures. Sometimes the immune cells of the skin react to what directly touches the skin. In other cases, the immune system flares up in the skin due to infection or a whole-body disease.
An allergy to the skin or allergic contact dermatitis causes a red, itchy rash, which is sometimes accompanied by small blisters or cones. A rash occurs when the skin contacts an allergen, usually a harmless substance that attacks the immune system. Allergens cause allergic reactions. Allergens can come from certain soaps, creams and even pets.
Your immune system may not react the first time you encounter an allergen. But over time, your immune system can become sensitive to the substance. As a result, your next contact may lead to inflammation and allergic rash.
Some medications, including antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, can also cause itching of the skin. If you are allergic to the drug, the rash may be the first sign of a serious reaction. As with other allergies, the reaction to the drug may not occur the first time you take it. It can appear after several applications. However, not all drugs cause allergies.
 If you notice an itch or a painful skin rash, think twice before going to the pharmacy and getting a cream if you do not know the cause. Creams that you buy can create problems that further worsen your initial problem. Because the rash can be caused by many different things - bacteria, viruses, drugs, allergies, genetic disorders and even light - it is important to find out what kind of dermatitis you have.
A dermatologist or a skin doctor is specially trained to find out what causes the rash, and help you get the right treatment.
Your skin is your protection. It's not just the cover that keeps your body; this is also your first line of defense against germs and chemicals. Take care of your skin so that your skin can take care of you.

Physiology & Medicine / Honey against sugar: which sweetener should I use?

« on: 24/08/2018 09:22:25 »

When you make a cup of hot tea, do you reach honey or sugar? Although both can add sweetness to your drink, their nutritional benefits are different.
Honey and sugar are carbohydrates, consisting mainly of glucose and fructose. They are used as ingredients in many finished products and recipes. Both can lead to weight gain when used excessively.
The reputation of honey in order to be more healthy can have some basis, but honey is not considered healthy food. So it's healthier?
Sugar consists of a combination of glucose and fructose, which combine with the formation of sucrose. It does not add vitamins or nutrients.
Of the most diverse types of sugar, white, brown and raw sugar are the most common.
Brown sugar is a combination of white sugar and molasses and can contain several nutrients. It is used mainly for baking.
Raw sugar is a less refined version of white sugar. It is light brown in color and contains larger crystals. Raw sugar does not change from white sugar.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: When a person gains weight, does shoe size increase?

« on: 24/08/2018 09:04:52 »

In often cases, even in an adult, the size of the leg may increase, even when the usual shoes suddenly become small. In fact, not only does the foot increase, but also the upper limbs, as well as the chin and nose, occur. Just seeing your reflection in the mirror every day, it is not so noticeable, and is seen as an ordinary age coarsening of the face, that is, as a variant of growing up. In fact, this is the first reason to conduct a brain examination, namely, the department that we call the pituitary (neuroendocrine gland).
The pituitary gland produces a special hormone, which at the right time stimulates the growth of a person. If the adult begins to grow again, then there is a tumor of the pituitary gland, which, developing, begins to produce this hormone in excess quantities, and then we see such a clinical picture.
Despite the fact that as a result of the development of the disease, physical growth of bones is observed, yet it is perfectly treatable. It is necessary to conduct a brain examination (to make a magnetic resonance imaging) to determine the degree of pituitary tumor, and then remove this tumor surgically
Most often, the foot increases after trauma, with soft tissue damage that strengthens the arch of the foot, with microcirculation or as a consequence of edema. Also, an increase in the foot is possible with age-related arthritis and arthritis, due to the omission of the arch of the foot. In such cases, doctors recommend the wearing of instep arresters, which prevent and slow the progression of age-related flat feet.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Can varicose veins be prevented?

« on: 22/08/2018 22:13:11 »

Hey. This is a very popular topic. Many people have this problem. Varicose veins can develop when your veins are stretched or enlarged, resulting in tiny valves inside your veins becoming weak.
These tiny valves are crucial for pumping blood around your body, and when it comes to your legs, they already have a hard job as they force the blood to rise up against the flow of gravity.

If your valves are weakened, they will be struggling to perform their function, and instead the blood will flow back, gather in your veins and stimulate various symptoms, including their habitual appearance.
Fortunately, varicose veins do not necessarily have to be inevitable - there are a number of precautions that you can take to minimize the risk of their development.
Instead, you need to make sure that you train regularly to get blood pumping - this should not be an intense session in the gym, even gentle exercises such as yoga or a brisk walk are sufficient to improve your blood circulation and tone your legs!
What you eat can also affect your chances of developing varicose veins. Again, obesity is one of the main factors of this condition, so after a nutrient-rich diet in addition to getting a lot of exercise, you need to go a long way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In particular, foods high in refined sugars, caffeine or alcohol are likely to stimulate an inflammatory reaction in your body
Apple cider vinegar is another natural remedy that is excellent for varicose veins, as it is known to help increase blood flow. You can take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar every day straight, or you can put a teaspoon in a glass of water to make it more palatable.
Also try to get a good intake of essential fatty acids - you can find them in fatty fish or superfoods, such as chias seeds.
Gentle massage can be a great way to stimulate your circulatory system and pump blood. However, if you suffer from varicose veins, some masseuses can avoid massaging the affected area, so massage, as a rule, works better as a preventive measure, and not as a cure.
You can also try to include the essential oil in the mixture. Some essential oils, such as lavender or chamomile, have natural anti-inflammatory properties and can be very soothing, helping to support your joints and cartilage.
Do preventive maintenance to the legs or foots and varices to you are not terrible.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why do women live longer than men?

« on: 22/08/2018 21:58:11 »

Hey. Interesting topic on the forum. I myself thought about it that women experience increased stress, more chronic diseases, more depression, more anxiety and, most likely, become victims of violence. Women earn less than men, and in many countries they do not have the same human rights as men.
Despite the social inequality of women, they live longer than men. This happens without exception, in all countries.
I read about it and I want to say that biology can contribute to this difference in the expected life expectancy. Women have biological advantages that allow them to live longer.
For example, estrogen benefits women because it lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease,
Testosterone, on the other hand, increases the level of cholesterol in the blood and lowers the level of good cholesterol. This puts men at greater risk of developing hypertension, heart disease and stroke.
When it comes to chronic diseases, women tend to have more of them. But here there is a reservation. Men and women have different types of chronic diseases. Women have more non-fatal, chronic conditions, while men have more fatal outcomes.
For example, women have more arthritis, which does not kill, even if it is turned off. On the contrary, men are at a higher risk of chronic diseases, which are the leading killers. Heart disease begins 10 years earlier in men than in women.
Thus, biological differences play a role in breaking the expected life expectancy, but the sex, I affirm, plays a big role. Women in general are more aware of their health, and they are more aware of their physical and mental symptoms. All this leads to a healthier lifestyle and better use of health care. Women also better communicate with problems, which helps in diagnosis.
 Men are less committed to treatment.
These problems together make men vulnerable to therapeutic failure.

General Science / Re: What evidence is there for using ozone as a medical treatment?

« on: 21/08/2018 21:09:12 »

I know that this is a very complex topic. Ozone is toxic and dangerous for the environment. It is well known that ozone gas can damage the respiratory system. There is no safe or effective medical application of ozone
The US FDA and Health Canada do not allow ozone generator manufacturers to advertise or sell them for medical purposes. Although all this does not prevent naturopaths from acquiring them for use in clinical practice. . I've seen ozone advertised by naturopaths for chronic diseases, cancer treatment, Lyme disease, viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune diseases, "detoxification" and "boosting the immune system."
Ozone can be administered to patients by placing gas through a skin infection or blowing it into the ear, nose, mouth, rectum or vagina.
Practice of autohemotherapy carries significant risks without any health benefits.
The legality of ozone therapy conducted by naturopaths varies in the United States and Canada, despite the fact that purchases of ozone generators for medical use are a federal crime.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Has anyone tried hypnosis for chronic pain relief?

« on: 20/08/2018 20:06:11 »

Hey. I also had a hope for a cure for infertility by hypnosis. I will tell you that I failed. Hypnosis can not all. There are many myths, misconceptions and misinformation about this - perhaps even more than about any other treatment for chronic pain. People have preconceptions based on stage performers, television, movies and rumors - and these cultural references tend to adorn what he can do.
Hypnosis can not cure everything. This is not dangerous. Participants will not be asked to do anything against their will.
Finally, medical hypnosis is usually not taught as part of the curriculum of most health care providers. Lack of knowledge about the subject area leads to "superstitions", even within the medical community.
For myself, I found that hypnosis is effective for relieving pain.
Has a greater impact on the impact of pain, rather than on the feeling of pain
It can be more effective, or at least equivalent to other methods of treatment of acute and chronic pain
May be able to provide anesthesia, reduce stress, remove anxiety, improve sleep, improve mood and reduce the need for opioids
Can improve the effectiveness of other well-established methods of treating pain
Some people are better suited to respond to hypnosis than others.
Hypnosis is successfully used for people with various pain conditions in arthritis. Other medical conditions commonly referred to as those improved with hypnosis include: Headaches
fibromyalgia
cancer
Burns
Backache
Personally, I was not helped by hypnosis in my problem. I decided on the problem of infertility in Ukraine at the Clinic for Reproductive Health.
My advice is - do not believe who says that hypnosis heals everything. Good luck

Complementary Medicine / Re: Are there health benefits to drinking tea?

« on: 17/08/2018 21:00:51 »

Hello everybody. There has already been written a lot about the benefits of tea. I also want to add a few more. I know that people who drank 2 or more cups of tea a day, reduced the risk of a stroke.
Enjoy a cup of tea a day. Both green and black varieties are rich in a number of compounds that are further studied for their potentially positive effects on a number of diseases.
Studies conducted in this regard represent their views both in favor and against tea. some agree that tea is not good for health, while others completely disagree with this. some say that tea has antioxidants and vitamins that produce good effects on the immune system, but tea with milk is not beneficial. tea without milk improves the vascular system. Adding milk to tea takes advantage of it. It is difficult to draw a decisive conclusion. However, tea should be taken in moderation during the day.
Adding fragrances and excessive sugar to bubble tea can make it an unhealthy drink. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid too much purified sugar and flavors and keep it natural. Pearl tapioca is filled with nutrients such as protein, vitamin K and calcium, and potassium
You can mix fresh fruit with tea, which is seasonal and healthy, which can include banana, mango and watermelon among others. Try not to add sugar, because the fruits will bring natural sweetness. Thus, you can control the consumption of calories.
I think tea is the second most safe drink. In the first place, of course, water.

General Science / Re: Can we drink seawater?

« on: 15/08/2018 19:37:25 »

Hey. And you tried to drink it. It's impossible to take a sip. We can not drink salt water, because it is not safe. We already consume enough salt from food. The body needs salt to produce hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Our bodies need salts for proper work, albeit in small amounts. Your cells depend on salt, or, more specifically, on the sodium element that is present in the salt, to maintain chemical balance and body reactions.
When you swallow salt water, your kidneys get rid of excess salt, taking it out of the blood and producing more urine. Human kidneys can only make urine, which is less saline than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of excess salt consumed by drinking salt water, you must urinate more water than you drank. In the end, you die of dehydration, even when you become thirsty. Therefore, the use of salt water will lead to dehydration. Excessive sodium intake can also cause problems with blood pressure.
However, if you sweat profusely, it may be helpful to drink water with an added amount of salt to replenish the salt lost through sweat. So justifies its existence. However, you need to be careful not to supplement too much salt in this way, because again this can dehydrate you. On very sweaty days, when you drink a lot of water, try to find some middle ground; drink water that is "salty to taste", and if it starts unpleasantly tasting, return to clean water. When you deplete the salt, you will probably have a mild craving for salt. The body is pretty neat about it.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: What could cause high blood pressure in the morning?

« on: 14/08/2018 21:39:28 »

Hey. My mother has a similar problem. Blood pressure usually decreases during sleep. Then it returns to your normal level before you wake up.
Many people with high blood pressure have such a good form of control throughout the day, but high rates in the mornings. Here are a few reasons why this can happen
 Your pills can be ineffective within 24 hours. You may need to split your pills in half. In the morning, take half the dose. Take the second half of the night. Of course, first consult a doctor.
For reasons that are not entirely clear, some people will have better control of blood pressure all day if they take their pills before going to bed, not in the morning. Therefore, talk with your doctor about switching all your pills to a night dose.
 You may have high blood pressure in the morning for reasons close to your medication. Excessive drinking can increase blood pressure. Therefore, if you drink alcohol, keep it no more than a couple drinks a day. One drink means 12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces of wine or one shot of strong alcohol. Sleep apnea is another cause of high blood pressure early in the morning. In sleep apnea, the respiratory tract is blocked or breathing stops moving. Breathing temporarily stops or becomes shallow. This can happen hundreds of times every night. Sleep apnea puts stress on the body. This increases the level of adrenaline and increases blood pressure. The most common symptoms of sleep apnea are loud snoring, poor sleep quality and excessive drowsiness throughout the day. Some people have a morning headache.
Talk with your doctor about these potential causes of high blood pressure in the womb. Most likely, some adjustments of your medicines will control your readings. In addition, maintaining a healthy weight, eating food on a plant basis and regular exercise to reduce blood pressure at all times of the day.

General Science / Re: Does washing our hands with soap and water remove more germs than just water?

« on: 14/08/2018 20:24:43 »

Hello. I agree with you. Soap usually reduces the number of bacteria and bacteria, except water. Theoretically, shaking hands, just water can be fine, but [antibacterial] soap is intended for the complete destruction of bacteria. Molecules attach to these bacteria, as a result of which droplets of grease and dirt are removed from your hands and suspended in water. These drops are washed off when you rinse your hands.
Using water will only rinse some germs from your hands. Using soap kills all the germs that you have on your hand. It is also known that the use of friction with rubbing the hands in front and behind and between the fingers makes it possible to remove most of the microbes.
According to health experts, washing hands with soap and washing hands with water does almost the same thing - it cleans and relieves hands of most bacteria. Apparently, when a person washes his hands with water and vigorously wipes his hands, they can get rid of the same number of germs and bacteria that the soap. In fact, depending on how the soap is stored - on the sink, where it can create a puddle of water, enclosed areas, etc. -Child can eventually develop bacteria and spread bacteria to the hands when used. Therefore, even if the hands will smell clean, in fact it is not. Health professionals say that with a good hand washing technique, using simple water will do the job. This is "proven in countries where access to soap is limited," In the study, scientists note that with the use of only one water, the rate of diarrhea is doubled. Yes, soap is the best option if it is stored correctly, so that it can not become contaminated, but enough water is also enough. The best option for soap is one with antibacterial agents; however, it is important to use the right kind of antibacterial agents - as there are two types: high-speed antibacterial agents such as chlorine, alcohol and peroxide, they do not leave traces and do not destroy good bacteria; In most antibacterial soaps, antibacterial substances that cause leakage are found, and they work more slowly to destroy bacteria, and lead to the development of resistant bacteria.
I think a person can save money on fancy soaps and instead use water. Using water to wash both hands can eliminate a lot of microbes and bacteria that can wash. Soap can actually spread bacteria into the hands if it is not stored correctly to prevent the growth of bacteria. Although health professionals note that soap reduces more bacteria than water alone.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: How do drugs trigger a medical abortion?

« on: 14/08/2018 20:01:06 »

Hey. As it is not sad to kill an unborn child. But in life there are different situations. I think. This person consciously goes for it.
The experience of passing medical abortion is comparable to a natural miscarriage. In the clinic, a woman is given one tablet of mifepristone to swallow, after which she will return home. Then she uses a second drug, misoprostol, usually in 24-48 hours. According to the current interpretation of the law, a woman should return to the clinic to use this drug. Misoprostol is administered vaginally in most cases, but can be taken orally or dissolved under the tongue or between the cheek and gum.
Women can go straight from the clinic after taking misoprostol to calm down before the uterus begins to contract. Confusion and bleeding usually begin 1.5-2 hours after injection, but this can begin earlier. Usually the procedure is completed within 4-6 hours, but this too can change. Women can expect some bleeding for several days as part of a normal recovery.
How safe is medical abortion?
Very safe. No medical procedure is at risk, but the risk of early medical abortion is extremely small and significantly less than the risk of continued pregnancy before the term. It can often be carried out as soon as pregnancy is confirmed, and the sooner an abortion can be performed, the less likely any complications.
It also avoids any anesthetic risk that surgical procedures may occur, and any risk of infection is minimized by providing all women with preventive antibiotics. Rare complications that may occur include continued pregnancy and incomplete abortion, so it is recommended that all women attend a follow-up appointment to check that the procedure was successful.
All women leave the clinic with appropriate anesthesia, antibiotics and detailed advice on what to expect, and what can indicate a problem.

Hey. You asked a very difficult question. I think there will be different answers, even the opposite.
Intuition comes to us from an instinctive feeling, and not from conscious reasoning. Intuition is our inner perception and is based on past knowledge and experience. We all experience intuition. Sometimes he finds the answer to a question or knows the correct solutions to the problem. Ideas simply appear from our unconscious before we can give them confidence.

We can listen to our inner feelings: trust our instincts. Or consciously revise and ask the question: use logical reasoning.
The reliability of our intuition largely depends on past knowledge and concrete experience.
However, a lack of intuition - and logical reasoning in this respect - is a tendency to bias and a tendency to ignore some facts. For these reasons, we must choose when to trust our instincts and when to use reasoning.

I think more pronounced in children. Although the border of the reflex and instinct is very thin.
These instincts are all about survival. Rub your baby's cheek and it will turn to your touch with your mouth open.
Placed face down, your child turns his head to the side, ensuring that he can breathe. And although on his back, if the blanket falls over his head, he will turn his head and cling to his hands to push him away from his face - a potential rescuer.
