О язве двенадцатиперстной кишки-About duodenal ulcer

Very few of us survived childhood without receiving at least one black eye. We all remember relatives exclaiming, almost in admiration, «What a shiner!»

Usually, a black eye is nothing more than bruised tissue around the eye. There are times, though, when it can cause more serious damage. If, after receiving an eye injury, you experience double vision or other problems with your sight, contact your ophthalmologist immediately.

Generally speaking, if an eye injury hurts more when you blink, professional help should be sought. It is best to patch the eye» in the interval between recognizing the seriousness of the condition and seeing a doctor.

The following is one of the best methods for patching an eye:

• Gently place a cotton ball or two over the closed, injured eye.

• Attach strips of tape to the forehead and cheeks in an overlapping manner. This prevents light from entering the eye.

• Have the person open his good eye. He should not be able to see any light through the patched eye.

The most common eye injury is the entrance of a foreign object between the eyeball and the lid. At one time or another everyone experiences this. Your eye will automatically tear, which cleanses the area and usually flushes the object out. Any situation more serious than this should be examined by a doctor.

There are those time when you need to examine a person’s eye to determine whether an object is in it. Those times, carefully follow these instructions:

1. Have the person lay on his back in a dark room. Ask him to look at the ceiling.

2. Carefully look under the person’s   lower eyelid by gently pulling down on the skin beneath   the lid. In this manner, you can easily see inside the sac,   with the aid of a flashlight.

3.       Have the person look at his feet, still laying on his back. Gently take the upper eyelid lashes with your left hand while gently depressing the skin of his upper lid downward. This will turn the eyelid inside out and effectively allow you to examine the eye.

4. Should you discover an object, take a very thin wisp of cotton and attempt to dislodge it and lift it up. If this is not possible, run water over the eye from a small glass or eye cup. This usually will wash the object out into the eye, where his blinking will eventually lodge it into one of the corners of the eye.

Flatulence

Flatulence is one of the unfortunate and sometimes offensive side effects of a high fibre diet. Some people acquire flatulence as a result of poor digestion.

Home Remedies

It is not surprising that a reduction in dietary fibre produces a consequent reduction in wind. The ingestion of a tea spoon of cider vinegar after meals is also very helpful, as is supplementation with digestive enzymes. Enzymes are purchased on prescription or over the counter at chemist and health food shops. Try the digestive enzymes over food with meals and if all of the above fail use charcoal tablets. Charcoal works in a gas mask. It can also absorb the gases and odours emanating from the depths of unruly bowels.

Flucloxacillin

Many bacteria formerly sensitive to penicillin are now resistant. Staphylococcus Aureous, which normally lives on the skin and in the nose of human carriers, is a case in point and Flucloxacillin is a synthetic penicillin invented to overcome penicillin resistance amongst the Staphylococci. To that end it works very well and doctors use Flucloxacillin routinely in the treatment of boils, carbuncles, furunculosis and mastitis. People who diligently take the appropriate dose of Flucloxacillin four times a day are duely rewarded by the disappearance of their Staphylococcal infections.
