Pedicure and Manicure Tips

Pedicure and Manicure Tips


We have seen cases where a manicurist's customer's nail was "murdered". Injured and had a serious toe infection.


According to a survey in America, about 50% of salons use contaminated pedicure and manicure equipment. Bacteria are found in their nail clippers, nail files, and water soaked in nails.


How can we prevent infection? Follow these tips:

1. Only go to clean salons or manicures that you think are neat at work.


2. Soak utensils (such as nail clippers etc.) in 70% rubbing alcohol for 20 minutes. Do this before using with another customer.


3. The manicurist and the customer must wash their hands thoroughly before starting.


4. Take things in stride. When pain is felt, it means that it has been injured and it can cause infection. Immediately apply alcohol or povidone iodine to the wound.


5. If you have diabetes, numb feet or have a stroke, our advice is not to have a pedicure. Diabetics have nerve problems and their foot wounds may not heal. The foot may even be amputated.


6. Be careful when pulling “hangnails” or those skins next to the nail. Pulling and wounding it is the source of finger infection.


Finger Injury First-Aid:

For severe toe or hand infections, this is what should be done.


Buy Povidone iodine, cotton and band-aid. Take a small piece of cotton and apply it to Povidone iodine. Apply it on the wound for a long time.


If possible, use a band-aid to stabilize the cotton with Povidone iodine. Just let your wound soak in Povidone iodine all day. Add extra Povidone iodine when it dries.


Do this for 7 days, until the swelling of the skin is completely gone. When Povidone iodine penetrates the skin, it kills the wound germ and heals it. Just keep applying Povidone iodine until your finger heals.


Note:

Health is more important than beauty. If the finger just gets infected, it is better not to have a manicure or pedicure.

Undigested: Simple Indigestion or Cancer?

Undigested: Simple Indigestion or Cancer?


We all have moments of indigestion, it may just be natural. But if you feel it often, it may be one of serious illness.


Every person experiences indigestion due to eating foods, overeating or eating too fast. Sometimes, eating mixed foods (sour, spicy, fatty or milk) can cause stomach upset.


Smoking and drinking alcohol can also result in tummy aches. Usually, you just need to take antacid and rest.


To prevent indigestion, I recommend eating less but more often. However, there are other causes that can be more serious.


If the pain starts in the middle of the abdomen, and then runs into the right lower abdomen, it is possible appendicitis.

If the disease occurs in the upper right abdomen and occurs after eating greasy, it may be gallbladder stone or gallbladder stone.


Both conditions need to be seen by a surgeon for possible surgery. Occasionally, the feeling of indigestion may be a sign of an ulcer or stomach cancer.


Symptoms to watch out for include anemia and weight loss. A gastroenterologist may perform an endoscopy to diagnose and diagnose the disease.

Heart Disease and Chest Pain

Heart Disease and Chest Pain


Aa a heart specialist, I am consulted with various chest pains. In my opinion, 80% of chest pain has nothing to do with the heart. How do I know that the problem is NOT in the heart? The doctor predicts this by telling the patient how he or she feels.


If chest pain seems to pierce, it is not in the heart. If the pain is in the right side of the chest, neither is it in the heart. Pain usually comes from the muscles of the chest. You may be sleeping on a hard bed. Mister may have run. It may have taken a heavy toll and sprain the flesh. The solution here is just a break.


There are 2 more questions to assess if the pain comes from the heart. First, can you point a finger at the still-hurt chest? When the patient points to it, that is not the heart. Heart disease cannot be pointed by 1 finger.


Second, how long does your chest hurt? If the pain lasts less than a minute or less than 1 hour, the pain is definitely not in the heart. True heart disease lasts from 5 minutes to 15 minutes.


What exactly is heart disease? Chest pain is said to be severe and there seems to be a lump in the chest. The pain lasts only 5 to 15 minutes. The pain comes when you get tired, walk a long way or climb stairs.

Men, from 50 years of age and upward, often have heart disease. If you are obese, have diabetes, or have heart disease, there is a good chance that you may have a heart attack. In this situation, see a doctor.


But if you are still young, under the age of 30, especially if you are a woman, I am almost sure that the problem is not in the heart. Do not worry. Check with a heart specialist if necessary.

Do not sit for a long Time


According to the World Health Organization, prolonged sitting is unhealthy. If you sit for 2 hours or longer, there may be complications.


According to the diagnosis, it can cause diabetes, obesity, numbness of the feet and blood flow to the legs. When you sit still, you gain more weight due to lack of exercise. It can also cause diabetes.


The most serious complication of sitting too long is the formation of blood in the leg. When this happens, the clot can move to the lungs and make it difficult for the patient to breathe. Pulmonary embolism is what doctors call it and it is fatal.


Fat Wallet Syndrome:

Another danger of sitting for a long time is the constriction of the nerve in our buttocks. The foot can become numb when its root has been running for a long time. There is also a so-called "fat wallet syndrome" where sitting on a fat wallet can numb the foot. This often happens to men, especially to drivers and executives who are always seated.


What is the solution?

1. Every 30 minutes sitting, stand for 2 minutes to stretch. If you sit for 1 hour, take a 5 minute walk.


2. Move even while sitting. Stretch the arm while sitting. Move the feet. Tread it down. It helps with circulation and blood flow.

Lung Tumor: Is It Cancer?


For this article, I took Dra. Meredith Garcia, a cancer specialist to give an explanation. Here is the advice of Dra. Garcia.


The lump can often be read in the X-ray result as "mass", "nodule", "nodularity", "opacity" or "lesion". Often, lumps in the lungs are seen when a patient undergoes a chest X-ray for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath. There are also times when it is only seen accidentally at the executive checkup or at the annual examination of those who apply for the job even if the patient feels nothing.


There are many possible causes for "X" rash-like chest X-rays, such as pneumonia, lung abscess, TB (tuberculosis) and fungal infections.


There are also true benign or noncancerous tumors such as hamartoma. But an important diagnosis that needs to be investigated is cancer. It can be primary lung cancer, metastatic lung cancer that has spread from cancer to other parts of the body, or other types of cancer such as lymphoma, sarcoma and mesothelioma.


When a "chest" is found on the chest X-ray, it is important to see a doctor immediately to investigate the cause. The doctor will take your medical history and perform a physical examination. The appearance of X-rays is also examined to see if it has properties that look more benign or look more cancerous.


Depending on the doctor's diagnosis, he or she may perform additional tests to confirm his or her diagnosis such as CT scan, bronchoscopy (lung endoscopy) and biopsy. Here in the country where TB is rampant, sputum AFB is often performed on lab tests.


Do not ignore any chest X-ray lumps especially if you have a history of strong smoking or symptoms that do not disappear or worsen. See a doctor right away.
