			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a major concern for both employers and employees in the UK and around the globe. A study conducted out in 2008 showed that around 68% of workers in the UK suffered from some sort of RSI and the principal areas that were affected by it were the back, shoulders, wrists and hands. The incidences of RSI are likely to carry on rising as more and more individuals toil in offices and processor users are amongst the worst affected by it.</p>
<p>RSI is commonly used as a catch all name for a quantity of conditions such as tendinitis, tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome and commonly tends to tell more on the subject of how the injury was sustained instead of what the injury really is. The symptoms of RSI include throbbing in the affected region or regions, weakness and lack of endurance and the fact that soreness is made worse by movement.</p>
<p>There are a few of ways to get RSI treatment and <a href="http://www.cure-rsi.com ">RSI relief</a> on behalf of sufferers a large amount of which include making a couple of uncomplicated changes to working practices and behavior. The employment of ergonomics is a highly rated source of repetitive strain injury treatment and can diminish pressure on the body as can the application of an ergonomic mouse while using a PC. Pause software reminds CPU users to take frequent breaks while using a PC and complete exercises that will prevent symptoms from worsening. Specific strength exercises such as yoga, tai chi and the Alexander Technique can help to prevent RSI and strengthen the areas that are affected by it as they enhance posture and central strength. There are a quantity of medicinal treatments that can offer repetitive strain injury relief such as non-sedative pain medication, braces and therapy although it is in general acknowledged that mainstream health providers are still working on the best methodology to treating RSI.</p>
<p>Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs once the median nerve becomes squeezed or compressed at the wrist and is an occupational hazard for frequent users of computers. The symptoms progress from a frequent burning sensation or stinging in the palms and fingers to complete numbness and constant agony in the arm and hands. There is a number or carpal tunnel treatment accessible to sufferers such as drugs, exercise and alternative treatments. In the cases where these don&rsquo;t work carpal tunnel relief can be obtained by surgery on the affected part of the body but this is just recommended if symptoms persist for longer than 6 months. This surgical procedure is one of the most frequent in the US and involves severing the band of tissue around the wrist to free pressure on the median nerve.</p>
<p>If you believe that you possess any of the symptoms of either RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome it is recommended that you go to see your doctor as soon as you can as early management can prevent the symptoms becoming worse or prevent RSI developing altogether.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/urologicals-catheters-c539.html">catheters</a> on a regular basis means that you have to learn to sterilize your catheters. The type of your catheter will determine how you need to clean it and sterilize it, and the other trappings that go along with your catheter will also need to be cleaned at some point, depending on what all you use on a regular basis.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re practicing intermittent self-catheterization, things are fairly simple. Some catheters for this purpose are disposable, so you can simply get rid of each catheter after you use it. If you use a reusable catheter, on the other hand, you&rsquo;ll have to clean it after each use. In order to clean it, you&rsquo;ll simply have to rinse it with soap and water. If you need to use it again immediately for some reason, you can simply rinse it with tap water.</p>
<p>Some people will say that there is no reason for you to sterilize your catheters after you wash them, but you may lessen your risk of urinary tract infections if you do sterilize the catheters. You can sterilize them in a solution of water and vinegar or a solution of water and bleach, but be sure that your solution is mild so that it doesn&rsquo;t harm your skin upon the next time you use the catheter.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re using catheters just for intermittent self catheterization, you won&rsquo;t have to use a bag or a leg strap, but if you&rsquo;re using a Foley catheter that stays in your bladder for a long period of time, you will have these trappings to deal with. Like anything else that sits against your skin for a while, your leg strap might need to be washed once in a while. Also, the bag that goes with a Foley catheter may need to be cleaned with soap and water once in a while to keep the smell and risk of infection down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The importance of nails</strong>. The <a href="http://www.pasi2006.org/" target="_blank">nails</a> are present at the end of each finger tip on the dorsal surface. The main function of nail is for protection and it also helps for a firm grip for holding articles. It consists of a strong relatively flexible keratinous nail plate originating from the nail matrix. Under the nail plate there is a soft tissue called nail bed. Between the skin and nail plate there is a nail fold or cuticle. Normal <a href="http://www.pasi2006.org/" target="_blank">healthy</a> nail is slight pink in colour and the surface is convex from side to side. Finger nails grow 1 cm in three months and toe nails take 24 months for the same.</p>
<p><strong>Nails in disease. </strong>The nails&#8217; color, appearance, shape and nature are taken note of to provide information about the health of a person. They are examined as a routine by all doctors to get some clues about underlying diseases.</p>
<p>Here are some abnormal findings that can help a doctor in his diagnosis:</p>
<ol>
<li><em> Hygiene. </em>Deposition of dirt under the distal end of nail plate can make a chance for ingestion of pathogens while eating.<br />
If nail cutting is not done properly it can result in worm troubles in children. Prominent nail can also complicate a skin disease by habitual scratching. Sharp nails in small kids cause small wounds when they do feet kicking or hand waving.</li>
<li><em>Color of the nail.</em>
<p>a. Nails become pale in anemia.<br />
b. Opaque white discolouration (leukonychia) is seen in chronic renal failure and nephrotic syndrome.<br />
c. Whitening is also seen in hypoalbuminaemia as in cirrhosis and kidney disorders.<br />
d. Drugs like sulpha group, anti malarial and antibiotics ect can produce discolouration in the nails<br />
e. Fungal infection causes black discoloration.<br />
f. In pseudomonas infection nails become black or green.<br />
g. Nail bed infarction occures in vasculitis especially in SLE and polyarteritis.<br />
h. Red dots are seen in nails due to splinter hemorrhages in subacute bacterial endocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, collagen vascular diseases.<br />
i. Blunt injury produces hemorrhage and causes blue/black discoloration.<br />
j. Nails become brown in kidney diseases and in decreased adrenal activity.<br />
k. In Wilsons disease blue color in semicircle appears in the nail.<br />
l. When the blood supply decreases nail become yellow .In jaundice and psoriasis also nail become yellowish.<br />
m. In yellow nail syndrome all nails become yellowish with pleural effusion.</li>
<li><em> Shape of the nail.</em>
<p>a. Clubbing. The nail becomes more convex and the finger tip becomes bulbous and looks like an end of a drumstick. When the condition becomes worse the nail looks like a parrot beak. Consider also the causes of clubbing, congenital injuries, severe chronic cyanosis. Lung diseases like emphysema, bronchiactesis, carcinoma of bronchus and pulmonary tuberculosis.Abdominal diseases like crohn&#8217;s disease, polyposis of colon, ulcerative colitis,liver cirrhosisHeart diseases like Fallot&#8217;s tetralogy, subacute bacterial endocarditis and etc.<br />
b. Koilonychia. The nails become concave like a spoon. This condition is seen in iron deficiency anemia. In this condition the nails become thin,soft and brittle. The normal convexity will be replaced by concavity.<br />
c. Longitudinal ridging is seen in Raynaud&#8217;s disease.<br />
d. Cuticle becomes ragged in dermatomyositis.<br />
e. Nail fold telangiectasia is a sign in dermatomyositis ,systemic sclerosis and SLE.</li>
<li><em> Structure and consistency. </em>
<p>a. Fungal infection of nail causes discolouration, deformity, hypertrophy and abnormal brittleness.<br />
b. Thimble pitting of nail is charecteristic of psoriasis, acute eczema and alopecia aereata.<br />
c. The inflammation of cuticle or nail fold is called paronychia.<br />
d. Onycholysis is the separation of nail bed seen in psoriasis,infection and after taking tetracyclines.<br />
e. Destruction of nail is seen in lichen planus, epidermolysis bullosa.<br />
f. Missing nail is seen in nail patella syndrome. It is a hereditary disease.<br />
g. Nails become brittle in raynauds disease and gangrene.<br />
h. Falling of nail is seen in fungal infection, psoriasis and thyroid diseases</li>
<li><em> Growth.</em> Reduction in blood supply affects the growth of nails. Nail growth is also affected in severe illness. when the disease disappears the growth starts again resulting in formation of transverse ridges.These lines are called Beau&#8217;s lines and are helpful to date the onset of illness.</li>
