Easy way to end BAD HABITS

Cardionice greetings folks, 

Wondered always how to terminate minor unfruitful wrong thoughts and ha bits. 

Recently found a reasonable solution, 

We NICE group friends,thought of Displaying here, 

 it goes like this. .....       

There are number of distraction techniques helped children delay gratification more effectively. Such techniques included singing songs, thinking about something else, or covering the eyes.

Delaying gratification isn't always so cut-and-dry in the real world, however. While the children in Mischel's study had the promise of a secondary reward for waiting just a short period of time, everyday scenarios don't always come with this guarantee. If you give up that brownie, you still might not lose weight. If you skip a social event to study, you still might do poorly on the exam.

It is this uncertainty that makes giving up immediate rewards so difficult. That delicious treat in front of you now is a sure thing, but your goal of losing weight seems much further off and not so certain. uncertainty about future rewards is what makes delaying gratification such a challenge. " we don't know when these long-term rewards will arrive – or even if they will ever arrive. Give definitive time-frames: In situation where people are not sure when they will receive an expected reward, giving feedback on just how long they will have to wait can be beneficial. Train stations might post wait times, for example, while teachers might give students a definitive deadline for when students will receive a promised reward.

Set realistic deadlines: When trying to achieve a goal, such as losing weight, people are sometimes prone to either setting unrealistic deadlines. For example, a dieter might set himself up for failure if he makes a completely unrealistic goal of losing 10 pounds per week. When he fails to lose those first 10 pounds, he might then give up and give in to temptation. A more realistic goal of one pound per week would allow the dieter to see real results of his efforts.

So, friends answer is simple - deadline. .

Non antibiotic approach to UTI treatment

Most important step in causing uti bu uropathogenic Escherichia coli, is the "adhesion" of bacteria to urothelial cells.

This attachment is mediated by "FimH", a mannose-binding adhesin, which is expressed on the bacterial surface.

To date, UTIs are mainly treated with antibiotics, leading to the ubiquitous problem of increasing resistance against most of the currently available antimicrobials. Therefore, new treatment strategies are urgently needed, avoiding selection pressure and thereby implying a reduced risk of resistance.

A new class of highly active antimicrobials, anti adhesive molecule targeting the virulence factor FimH - indolinylphenyl mannoside

When it was administered in a mouse model at the low dosage of 1 mg/kg (corresponding to approximately 25 μg/mouse), the minimal therapeutic concentration to prevent UTI was maintained for more than 8 h. In a treatment study, the colony-forming units in the bladder could be reduced by almost 4 orders of magnitude, comparable to the standard antibiotic treatment with ciprofloxacin (8 mg/kg, sc).

So with the help of this novel anti adhesive molecule UTIs can be managed very simply without antibiotics.

Q: What are the causative organisms of bacterial meningitis?

Haemophilus influenzae, which used to be the most common cause of the disease in infants and young children before the HiB vaccine was introduced.

Listeria monocytogenes can infect people of any age, but pregnant women, very young children, and the elderly are at most risk. L. monocytogenes can be acquired through contaminated foods.

Neisseria meningitidis is highly contagious and causes meningococcal meningitis. This form is commonly found in children and young adults, including college students living in dorms.

Staphylococcus aureus may present itself after head trauma or brain surgery

Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in children, may appear along with pneumonia, an ear infection, or a sinus infection

Q:Why patient needs to be in supine position after a spinal procedure?

A: Because of spinal headache which is due to dural drag. Dura is the pain sensitive part of the whole nervous system. So after a spinal procedure due to the loss of CSF dura gets pulled down just like pulling down of cloth in umbrella while closing it, but it's very minimal drag that is limited to just headache

Dew 4:a single pill!

A new pill to treat HIV infection that combines four medicines and only has to be taken once a day was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Stribild
which will be marketed by maker Gilead Sciences, contains the HIV drugs elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. It will be prescribed to people who have never been treated for HIV infection, the agency said in a statement. Two of the drugs, elvitegravir and cobicistat, are new, the FDA noted. Elvitegravir interferes with one of the enzymes that HIV needs to multiply, while cobicistat inhibits an enzyme that metabolizes certain HIV drugs and so prolongs the effect of elvitegravir.

The combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is already marketed as Truvada, and they work in concert to block another enzyme that HIV needs to replicate.

Q:Is it safe to use hydrogen peroxidein cleaning dirty wounds?

A:Yes, but it is not advisable now a days because Peroxide is a solution made up of hydrogen and oxygen. It is a strong oxidizer and can be used as a cleaning agent and to prevent infections. When used topically, this antiseptic foams due to the enzyme catalase. As the catalase comes in contact with the skin it turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.

 

 According to health experts at the Swedish Medical Center in Colorado, hydrogen peroxide contains too much oxygen for the blood leading to potential issues.  When your skin absorbs hydrogen peroxide, it can reduce the amount of fibroblasts, a particular cell that is imperative for cleaning and repairing damaged tissue

Peutz—Jeghers syndrome

Dew3:

There is a congenital condition which presents with acute onset of abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distention in adolescents.

Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of multiple hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps, mucocutaneous pigmented lesions on the lips or buccal mucosa, and an increased risk of cancer within and outside the gastrointestinal tract.

Single-dose drug cure for malaria

Scientists claim to have discovered a drug that could cure all strains of malaria with a single oral dose and also block transmission of the deadly parasite from person to person. The compound from the aminopyridine class (code named MMV390048) shows potent activity against multiple points in the malaria parasite’s lifecycle. The drug is the first compound researched on African soil to enter preclinical development in partnership with Medicines for malaria venture (MMV), a not-for-profit public-private partnership, in Switzerland. The synthetic molecule from the aminopyridine class, which has been described as novel and potent, not only has the potential to become a single-dose cure for malaria, but researchers are convinced that it could block transmission of the malaria parasite from person to person. The aminopyridine series was initially identified by Griffith University scientists in Australia as part of MMV’s extensive malaria screening campaign of around 6 million compounds. A team of scientists from the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Drug Discovery and Development Centre (H3-D) in South Africa, led by Professor Kelly Chibale then scrutinised and explored the anti-malarial potential of the series further. With parasitological and pharmacological support from the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute and Monash University, respectively, Kelly’s team selected the most promising compounds from the series to be optimized and re-tested. In just 18 months the team had identified and developed a candidate suitable for preclinical development. “We are very excited that this promising compound, researched by African scientists, has been selected by MMV for further development,” Chibale, Founder and Director, UCT H3-D, said. “This is truly a proud day for African science and African scientists! Our team is hopeful that the compound will emerge from rigorous testing as an extremely effective medicine for malaria — a disease that accounts for 24 per cent of total child deaths in sub-Saharan Africa,” Chibale said.
