Emergency care of moderate and severe thermal burns in adults In worldwide thermal burns are the leading cause of accidental injury and death. In spite of the fact that the vast majority of injuries do not require hospitalization, severe burns can lead to significant morbidity and death. The overall severity of the burn injury (minor, moderate, severe) can be determined by a combination of the burn mechanism, burn depth, extent, and anatomic location, which gives general guidance for the preferred disposition and care of these patients. In this manner it is essential that clinicians properly characterize the size and severity of their patients' burns. Reassessment of thermal burn size and depth is important, especially early in the management of patients with severe injuries, as the extent of injury often increases. Initial Assessment and Treatment: Initial treatment and assessment of severe burn cases is performed simultaneously with trauma resuscitation. The main fo

High-fiber diet alters gut bacteria to protect against severe food allergy A food allergy is one type of abnormal immune response and the signs and symptoms may range from mild to severe. The gut bacteria may be altered by a high-fiber diet rich in vitamin A. That could help to prevent or reverse food allergies. This is the current prime focus of research in medicinal research. The number of food allergy patients increasing day by day, also it is estimated that in the United States around 15 million people have food allergy. Allergies occur when immunoglobulin E (IgE) that is a part of the body’s immune system, binds to food molecules. Allergic reactions to food vary from one person to other person, but the symptoms may include tingling or itching in the mouth, hives, nausea or vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhoea. In more severe or emergency food allergy cases, a person suffering from   food allergy may experience swelling of the lips, swelling of the tongue, and/o

Best Remedies of Anaphylactic Shock: Hypersensitivity or Anaphylaxis shock is a hazardous and potentially life-threatening condition caused by an allergic reaction. Most of the people use the terms anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock to refer to the similar thing. The complication of anaphylaxis occurs when the blood pressure drops very low, and the blood has trouble circulating. Hypersensitivities occur when a person's immune system overreacts to a harmless substance called an allergen. This reaction causes the body to release chemicals that lead to irritation and different side effects. This can leads into anaphylaxis. Fast facts on anaphylactic shock: As with hypersensitivity, anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening emergency. Individuals with a history of anaphylactic reactions are at risk of anaphylactic shock. Individuals who have had anaphylactic responses should always carry an epinephrine injector. Symptoms of anaphylactic shock: In most of the people

First aid for stroke: What do you do? The sudden brain death due to lack of oxygen, caused by blockage of blood flow or burst of an artery to the brain. Sudden loss of speech, weakness, or loss of motion of one side of the body can be symptoms. A suspected stroke might be confirmed by examining the brain with special X-ray tests, for example CAT scans. The demise rate and level of disability resulting because of strokes can be dramatically reduced by immediate and suitable medical care. A stroke is a therapeutic emergency. Quick intervention may expand a person's possibility of survival and diminish the danger of long-term disability. Strokes happen when the blood supply to the brain is blocked or constrained. Every year, over 795,000 individuals in the United States have a stroke that is around one every 40 seconds. If someone is having a stroke, quick action is vital. Call ambulance immediately or have someone else make the call. Fast facts on first aid for stroke:

Vitamin D supplements may reduce asthma severity: Emergency medicine  deals with an entire range of sicknesses and wounds and includes the care for adult and pediatric patients with intense ailments or wounds that require prompt medicinal consideration. Adding vitamin D supplements to standard pharmaceutical could decrease the severity of asthma assaults for people with the respiratory condition, suggests a new review. Scientist found that individuals with asthma who took vitamin D supplements close by their usual medication were 50% more averse to visit the emergency department or require healing facility because of an asthma attack. In addition, the specialists found that vitamin D supplementation was connected to a decrease in the requirement for steroid infusions or tablets following an asthma assault. Lead specialist Prof. Adrian Martineau, from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in the United Kingdom, and associates as of late announced their discoveries in Th
