Blepharitis is a common inflammatory condition that affects the eyelid. It usually causes burning, itching and irritation of the lids. In severe cases, it may also cause styes, irritation and inflammation of the cornea (keratitis) and conjunctiva (conjunctivitis). Blepharitis is usually a chronic problem that can be controlled with extra attention to lid hygiene.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Sandy, itchy eyes
Red and/or swollen eyelids
Crusty, flaky skin on the eyelids
Dandruff
DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS Blepharitis is detected during a routine examination of the eyelids and lashes using a slit lamp microscope. TREATMENT The key to controlling blepharitis is to keep the eyelids and eyelashes clean. Begin by soaking a clean washcloth in hot tap water. Use caution, all microwaves heat at different intensities. Hold the washcloth to your cheek to test for temperature before placing it on the eyes.) Place the compress on closed eyelids for five minutes, and then repeat. Next, gently scrub the eyelids with a washcloth or cotton swab soaked in a mixture of equal parts of baby shampoo and water. Afterward, rinse the lids thoroughly with warm water. In some cases, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drops or ointments are necessary for flare-ups or more severe cases.
The minute you find out you are pregnant you know things are going to be changing, from your waist size to those little stretch marks that pop up. Stretch marks are exactly that, red or purple marks left in your skin because it has stretched. The most common areas for it to appear is the buttocks, thighs, stomach, breasts and even arms. 90 percent of all pregnantwomen will get them, whether they get a lot or a few depends on the body and how they are preventing them. There are a ton of lotions out there that claim to help prevent stretch marks, such as scar serum, cocoa butter or Maderma. Make sure your skin is always moist, this helps in stretching the skin and not tearing it. There are new discoveries every day, ask your doctor what he/she recommends. Try them out yourself first and see if they work for you. This isn’t something you just put on one time during your pregnancy, you’ll have to make this a daily effort in order for it to work. That’s where most women fail, they just stop doing it. During your pregnancy try to eat healthy and stay in shape. This can help to keep off any access weight. The recommended weight gain for the average, 25-35 healthy pregnancy is 25-35 pounds. Make sure you drink plenty of water, staying hydrated helps keep the skin healthy. The moment your skin dries out you can begin getting stretch marks. If you’ve had one or more children your chances of getting more stretch marks will increase. Your skin has already been stretched out and you are about to do it again. Large babies and multiple babies can increase your chances of getting stretch marks too. Begin using preventing creams and lotions with vitamins A and E in them, as soon as you find out your are pregnant and try to lessen your chances of getting them. After the pregnancy if you have any stretch marks you may still have a few stretch marks, even after all the care you took. These do fade over time, so don’t worry about the way you look. If they are unbearable to you and you’ve waited a while, you can choose to have a tummy tuck or laser removal. Make an appointment with a dermatologist to see what he/she has to tell you. You may discover that you can live with them after all. Besides caring for your skin daily and eating right, there isn’t much you can do to prevent these beautiful pregnancy marks, however this doesn’t mean you don’t have to try. Take comfort in knowing that half the woman you know that have been pregnant probably have a mark or two, they may even have a little road map. Think about it as you’ve just been initiated into the gang of motherhood. No woman should ever feel ashamed of her stretch marks, they may not be the prettiest thing in the world but they do represent one thing…your child. Remember that the next time you are getting disgusted by them.
The first set of teeth, or milk-teeth as they are called, are twenty in number; they usually appear in pairs, and those of the lower jaw generally precede the corresponding ones of the upper. The first of the milk-teeth is generally cut about the sixth or seventh month, and the last of the set at various periods from the twentieth to the thirtieth months. Thus the whole period occupied by the first dentition may be estimated at from a year and a half to two years. The process varies, however, in different individuals, both as to its whole duration, and as to the periods and order in which the teeth make their appearance. It is unnecessary, however, to add more upon this point.
Their developement is a natural process. It is too frequently, however, rendered a painful and difficult one, by errors in the management of the regimen and health of the infant, previously to the coming of the teeth, and during the process itself.
Thus, chiefly in consequence of injudicious management, it is made the most critical period of childhood. Not that I believe the extent of mortality fairly traceable to it, is by any means so great as has been stated; for it is rated as high as one sixth of all the children who undergo it. Still, no one doubts that first dentition is frequently a period of great danger to the infant. It therefore becomes a very important question to an anxious and affectionate mother, how the dangers and difficulties of teething can in any degree be diminished, or, if possible, altogether prevented. A few hints upon this subject, then, may be useful. I shall consider, first, the management of the infant, when teething is accomplished without difficulty; and, secondly, the management of the infant when it is attended with difficulty.
Management of the infant when teething is without difficulty.
In the child of a healthy constitution, which has been properly, that is, naturally, fed, upon the milk of its mother alone, the symptoms attending teething will be of the mildest kind, and the management of the infant most simple and easy.
Symptoms:- The symptoms of natural dentition (which this may be fairly called) are, an increased flow of saliva, with swelling and heat of the gums, and occasionally flushing of the cheeks. The child frequently thrusts its fingers, or any thing within its grasp, into its mouth. Its thirst is increased, and it takes the breast more frequently, though, from the tender state of the gums, for shorter periods than usual. It is fretful and restless; and sudden fits of crying and occasional starting from sleep, with a slight tendency to vomiting, and even looseness of the bowels, are not uncommon. Many of these symptoms often precede the appearance of the tooth by several weeks, and indicate that what is called "breeding the teeth" is going on. In such cases, the symptoms disappear in a few days, to recur again when the tooth approaches the surface of the gum.
Treatment:- The management of the infant in this case is very simple, and seldom calls for the interference of the medical attendant. The child ought to be much in the open air, and well exercised: the bowels should be kept freely open with castor oil; and be always gently relaxed at this time. Cold sponging employed daily, and the surface of the body rubbed dry with as rough a flannel as the delicate skin of the child will bear; friction being very useful. The breast should be given often, but not for long at a time; the thirst will thus be allayed, the gums kept moist and relaxed, and their irritation soothed, without the stomach being overloaded. The mother must also carefully attend, at this time, to her own health and diet, and avoid all stimulant food or drinks.
From the moment dentition begins, pressure on the gums will be found to be agreeable to the child, by numbing the sensibility and dulling the pain. For this purpose coral is usually employed, or a piece of orris-root, or scraped liquorice root; a flat ivory ring, however, is far safer and better, for there is no danger of its being thrust into the eyes or nose. Gentle friction of the gums, also, by the finger of the nurse, is pleasing to the infant; and, as it seems to have some effect in allaying irritation, may be frequently resorted to. In France, it is very much the practice to dip the liquorice-root, and other substances, into honey, or powdered sugar-candy; and in Germany, a small bag, containing a mixture of sugar and spices, is given to the infant to suck, whenever it is fretful and uneasy during teething. The constant use, however, of sweet and stimulating ingredients must do injury to the stomach, and renders their employment very objectionable.
Futsal, sports indoor soccer, is increasingly popular in major cities of Indonesia. The sport allows a narrow area of the land provides facilities similar to lawn football. Futsal is a solution for large cities which limited the area open. Even futsal has competed internationally recently.
Playing futsal really exciting, everyone can follow it just by renting a futsal field that is now widely available, one of which, in Jakarta. No need to be an expert first to follow this sport, even widely used for the socialization alone But after futsal is a sport that needs proper treatment, especially in implementation. Because one-one wants to be healthy, instead allowing the disease. It is important to note from the costumes (especially shoes) and heating, and cooling game.
Injuries that may occur
For futsal players who are just starting, often injured because of a lack of heating. One is the medical term "plantar fascitis". Plantar fascitis is swelling with pain due to a small tear in the plantar fascia muscle that occurs due to overuse or repetitive pull of the plantar fascia. This condition causes pain under the heel of the back near the heel. This is caused by repetitive motions that cause a sudden strain. Besides the lack of heating also caused a run on the pitch as hard as futsal field.
The second injury that may occur is "tendenitis Achiles". Perceived symptom is pain in the tendon that runs from the calf muscle to the heel, especially in the morning. Achiles tendinitis caused by overuse in the leg muscles, a hard court surface, proper shoes that do not (too narrow), has been long out of physical exercise and rheumatic diseases.
The third injury is a "strain" or "pegel-pegel". Ranging from mild to severe. This injury is caused due to exercise / excessive movement in a particular muscle.
In futsal same as in the sport of soccer, often when the players were kicking the ball, opposing players would also like to kick the ball so that the leg movements that have been measured can be more than expected because of the impact that can cause foot opponent whose name overstreching. Also because of the slippery field can lead to overstretching (less stretch) due to slip.
A rather severe injury is the "ankle sprains", these injuries can happen because "tekelan" of the opponent or when players want to kick the ball but not raise his feet so that the outside of your foot ground floor grind. Layman often call this injury as "pain ankle". Symptoms can be mild or severe, ranging from pain while walking up to the swelling. Handling injuries with medical rehabilitation
Handling injuries with a medical rehabilitation is divided based on the development of injury:
Acute stage, the swelling and pain caused by swelling. Aiming to overcome the swelling, edema of the immobilization (not moving), ice packs, medicine and other modalities of therapy. Motion exercises can begin a limited and cautious.
Sub-acute stage, swelling is reduced. Pain due to stretching of connective tissue. Aiming to reduce adhesions and contractures that is by active motion exercises slowly, gradually increasing intensity.
Chronic stage, inflammation / swelling disappear. Pain not due to the strain of connective tissue. Aiming for the recovery of function that is by stretching exercises, muscle strengthening and exercises the functions of motion gradually.
Heating and cooling is just as important to the game. To avoid injury to the muscle for futsal players is important to warm up, stretching before the game and also cooling after heating the game, especially on the foot before doing weight training can help prevent injury. Slight movements during the 3-1menit will warm up the muscles so the muscles more pliable and resistant to injury.
Cooling is reduced gradually before exercise training is stopped. For example with a jog. Cooling to prevent the occurrence of headache by keeping the blood flow. If weight training is stopped suddenly, the blood will collect in the leg veins and for a while causing reduced blood flow to the head. Cooling down also helps remove waste products (eg lactic acid from muscle), but the cooling does not seem to prevent sore muscles the next day, which is caused by damage to muscle fibers.
Stretching exercises do not seem to prevent injury, but it serves to lengthen the muscles so the muscles can contract more effectively and work better. To avoid muscle damage due to stretching, stretching should be done after warming up or after exercise, and every movement stretches held for 10 counts.
