<p>The Pap test means a test which all gynecologic women of childbearing age and after menopause should have regular, this after discovering that it is extremely effective as a means of prevention against cancer of the uterine body.</p>
<p>The PAP test is a test performed by a gynecologist absolutely not obligatory for women, whose importance as a means of preventing cervical cancer is now undisputed. This tumor is known for sure that caused by a viral infection or by a virus transmitted through sexual contact, papillomavirus (HPV).</p>
<p>The first conventional PAP smears should be done after the age of 18 (the period in which is supposed to have initiated the first sexual intercourse), continuing until the age of 35 years with at least once a year (this is the band&#8217;s age of increased incidence of suspicious cell changes); between 35 and 65 years can lower the frequency of checks every three years, after 65 years, this survey is used mainly to assess the state of the mucosa.<span id="more-2435"></span><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<p>Of the important measures to be met for 48 hours before a Pap test are: not having sex (would have been form a tapestry of sperm that would jeopardize the reading frame), do not use douches, plugs or other substances that emit oils and fats and we must respect the right date to do this, or in the days immediately preceding ovulation than (around the 12th day preceding the first day of menstruation) because at this stage there is little mucus, few inflammatory cells and the cells more superficial analysis that allow us to be detached and removed easily. <br /><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<p>While many may be skeptical, the fact is that acupuncture is a very effective remedy for pain. To insert needles in our skin, the body releases endorphins that help to soothe the pain. Improvement is usually noticed after the first session. Despite the respect that can cause the needles, the fact is that the technique is painless and only seen a slight tingling.</p>
<p>The human body has different routes and channels through which energy flows. Inserting needles at these points the function of regulating energy channels, which improves the flow of this energy and disease and pain are gone. In our body there are more than a thousand acupuncture points, to combine and produce different results.<span id="more-2153"></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Self exploration is one of the first steps you can take a woman to prevent, because prevention is the main weapon which has to fight against any disease. On this occasion, from this article we wonder how to diagnose breast lumps.</p>
<p><a href="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/breast-lumps-daignose.jpg"><img src="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/breast-lumps-daignose-300x200.jpg" alt="breast lumps daignose" title="breast lumps daignose" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2098" /></a></p>
<p>Obviously it is the doctor who must make the appropriate diagnosis. Therefore, the recommendation is do you go to the specialist as soon as you miss a lump in the chest, as a priori, it is not easy to distinguish between benign and malignant lump, so it is necessary for breast examination an expert or making some technique such as MRI or mammography.<span id="more-2097"></span><br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-7153725455829945";
/* nur_mid */
google_ad_slot = "1009592512";

</script><br />
<script type="text/javascript"

</script></p>
<p>That is, self-examination should be the basis of every woman to take precedence over any setback. Of course, the problem comes because while it is forming a breast cancer, women do not usually have pain or discomfort, so it is important to find a package on time.</p>
<p>Therefore, the only way to detect a breast lump and make a diagnosis is by exploring relevant. It should therefore be the very woman who, regularly, palpate to detect changes in their breasts, or to detect the occurrence of any lumps.<br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-7153725455829945";
/* nur_mid */
google_ad_slot = "1009592512";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script><br />
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></p>
<p>For self-examination, the woman has to lie down and put the head on the right hand, while with his left hand touches the right chest, slowly and seeing if any lumps. Also, inspect both the nipple and the armpit. When you are done with the right breast, it performs the same action but with the right hand and left chest.</p>
<p>Again, before any abnormality, you must go to the doctor to be the one to make the diagnosis. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hospitals are places that require extreme cleaning and disinfection of all clean rooms to avoid any kind of infection among patients. Cleanrooms are specially designed spaces for low levels of contamination. These areas must have controlled parameters such as air particulates, humidity, air pressure inside, lighting and temperature to avoid the risks of infection.</p>
<p><a href="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/clean-hospital.jpg"><img src="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/clean-hospital-300x225.jpg" alt="clean hospital" title="clean hospital" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1953" /></a></p>
<p>Depending on your level of risk, high, medium and low, and personal hygiene requirements will be much more specialized. High-risk areas are intensive care units, a prelude to operating rooms, operating rooms or areas of hemodialysis &#8230; should be cleaned and disinfected as a whole and very often, several times a day, after treatments, operations, etc.<span id="more-1952"></span><br />

<p>The medium-risk areas like kitchen, changing rooms, swimming pools, showers, restrooms, consultations or patient rooms must be cleaned and disinfected carefully and finally the low risk areas such as halls, stairs, elevators and offices proper cleaning.</p>
<p>Disinfection of work clothes in these areas is also very important. Surgical uniforms when they are reusable, they must be important cotton and follow the disinfection process.<br />

<p>A truly effective disinfection must meet several requirements, such as covering a broad spectrum of microbial activity, ie have a high efficiency over the greatest number of species having sporicidal and virucidal effect, immediate action and long duration, a faint scent and pleasant, it must be safe and secure in their use. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Long before science itself recognized the great influence of the ultraviolet and infrared rays on our bodies, and there were therapists  who provided treatment to their patients through the colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/color-therapy.jpg"><img src="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/color-therapy-300x225.jpg" alt="color therapy" title="color therapy" width="300" height="250" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1365" /></a></p>
<p>Both in Egypt as in India and China since ancient times people knew about the healing properties of colors and applied in various ways. These cultures also used the colors in various fields of architecture, such as precincts of the temple of Heliopolis were designed so that the sun&#8217;s rays defragmented achieved in the seven colors of the spectrum, making it useful for healing.</p>
<p>In general, who applied this type of alternative therapy use multiple tools in combination, as are the rays of light, solarized water, food choices, taking into account the color, the clothing and the color in each room.<span id="more-1363"></span><br />

<p>In fact, color is a sensation and everything is light, or radiant energy that makes a journey through space as electromagnetic waves that vary in size, frequency and intensity.</p>
<p>To be applied, the therapist has different optical devices that have special filters that allow you to use different wavelengths of each color, to address both aesthetic, energy deficiencies and stress problems.</p>
<p>Today, we get very good results in aesthetic medicine that applies this type of treatment for problems like the case of cellulite and acne, as the facts in the light treatments are much less painful obtained excellent results.</p>
<p>Right from the medical point of view, the colors more effective in the treatment of chronic diseases are red, blue and yellow.</p>
<p>The color red is a warm and decay is used when there is a hue as exciting and stimulating blood circulation. It is also beneficial when it is used to activate the digestive system and is very effective against depression, hypochondria, melancholia, neurasthenia and partial or total paralysis.<br />

<p>The yellow and orange are also colorful and vital, engaging, effective and are often used when there are problems with their liver, intestine, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic gout and rheumatism.</p>
<p>As for the color green is a shade analgesic that can be used to soothe all sorts of pain and neuralgia, treatment of hypertension and influenza.</p>
<p>The violet and blue have the same information because they are so reassuring tones can be used for weight loss and quitting smoking is also very effective also against anemia.</p>
<p>Purple acts primarily on the kidneys and lungs and indigo (a mix of blue and red) addresses respiratory problems. It is recommended in pneumonia, bronchitis and dry cough, asthma and chronic dyspepsia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blood calcium is available in the free and partly linked to bicarbonate, the citrate and phosphate.<br />
The skeleton is an important reservoir of calcium for the body, it can be removed due to parathyroid hormone, or it may be deposited as vitamin D3.<br />
The normal value in blood is: 8.1 &#8211; 10.4 mg / dl<br />
Normal value: in the urine (calciuria) is: 50 to 400 mg/24 h.<br />
<strong>The decrease in calcium is caused by:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Hypoparathyroidism</li>
<li>Reducing the amount of magnesium</li>
<li>Reduced food intake</li>
<li>Liver disease</li>
<li>Kidney disease</li>
<li>Intestinal diseases</li>
<li>Diarrhea</li>
<li>Supply of low-fat</li>
<li>Deficiency of bile salts</li>
<li>Bone metastases</li>
<li>Acute pancreatitis.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Clinical signs of decline are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Low sensitivity in different parts of the body</li>
<li>Painful muscle spasms</li>
<li>Generalized Seizures</li>
<li>Abdominal cramps</li>
<li>Spasm at the level of the larynx (choking)</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are epithelial cells of the urinary tract and are present in normal conditions.<br />
<strong>Indices of renal disease are:</strong><br />
the presence of particle (red and white) the presence of cylinders that is taking this aspect of training because they reproduce the mold of the renal tubule, consisting of a glycoprotein produced by the renal tubule.<br />
It in regard to distinguish different types of cylinders:<br />
hyaline formed only glycoprotein, generally do not have clinical significance, may occur after physical effort, general anesthesia, febrile illness.<br />
Wax formed by proteins and lipids, and their presence may be a sign of kidney disease.<span id="more-326"></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Establishing the characteristics and the number of different types of white blood cells or leukocytes, are recognized in this connection:<br />
Neutrophils, a decrease can be interpreted as bacterial infection, viral (hepatitis, infectious diseases of childhood, influenza, mononucleosis), malnutrition or alcoholism.<br />
An increase may indicate infection with streptococcus bacteria or certain fungi.</p>
<p><strong>Normal value: 50-70</strong><br />
Basophils: a decrease can be caused by prolonged treatment with cortisone or during pregnancy, but may be a sign of:<br />
Thyroid disorders<br />
urticaria<br />
Asthma &#8211; Hay Fever<br />
An increase is usually caused by:<br />
anemia<br />
Diabetes<br />
Tuberculosis<br />
Leukemia<span id="more-328"></span><br />

<p><strong>Normal value: 0-2</strong><br />
Eosinophils: a decrease is almost always associated with a cortisone-based care, while an increase is often determined by:<br />
asthma<br />
urticaria<br />
allergy drug<br />
pneumonia<br />
parasitosis<br />
hayfever<br />
poisonings<br />
arthritis<br />

<p><strong>Normal value: up to 4</strong><br />
Lymphocytes: the decrease is usually produced by treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs and cortisone, although it may be a sign of:<br />
lupus<br />
Hodgkin&#8217;s disease<br />
kidney<br />
AIDS.<br />
An increase may represent:<br />
parotitis (mumps)<br />
Chickenpox &#8211; Measles<br />
Pertussis<br />
toxoplasmosis<br />
mononucleosis</p>
<p><strong>Normal value: 20-45</strong><br />
Monocytes: the decrease is significant from the clinical point of view, the increase may instead be a sign of:<br />
arthritis<br />
Leukemia<br />
ovarian cancer &#8211; stomach &#8211; breast<br />
Tuberculosis<br />
bacterial endocarditis<br />
Malaria<br />
Candida<br />
