			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is plenty of medical equipment out there with long complicated names, but I want to highlight a few of them and explain how they first appeared and what miracles they do each and every day in the hospitals around the world.</p>
<p>First of all I want to start with ECG machines. ECG is stands for Electrocardiography and what they do is monitor the heart by using electrodes on the skin and creates a representation of the electrical activity of the heart over a certain period. The ECG machine amplifies the micro electrical changes on the skin that are caused during each beat. It can also determine if certain parts of the heart is damaged and can reliably measure the heart’s pumping ability, which can be used in ultrasound tests. ECG machines where invented in 1872 at ST Bartholomew’s Hospital by Alexander Muirhead. He attached a rope to the wrists of patients to achieve a record of the patient’s heart beating while he was studying for his Doctor of Science. The machines themselves don’t cure or fix but help in a patient diagnosis.</p>
<p>Centrifuges were first invented by an English military engineer Benjamin Robins and were later developed in 1864 by Antonin Prandtl. Antonin used a centrifuge like apparatus to separate cream from milk. It wasn’t until 1879 that Gustaf de Laval made it a commercial application. What a centrifuge does is rotates what ever is put into it at a fixed axis. Its rotated so fast that dense substances separate from the lighter substance. They are used in chemistry, biochemistry and biology when testing on samples and play it part in helping create cures and a better understanding of how our body works. There are many other non-medical uses for it also.</p>
<p>The final piece of medical equipment I’m going to mention is the medical freezer. Process of freezing or chilling items was first invented in the 11th century by a Persian physicist and was developed into an artificial low temperature unit in 1748. It was mainly used to keep ice frozen for many years until about the 1920?s when it turned into a huge commercial venture for home and work. The use of a freezer as a piece of medical equipment is put to use when sample and vaccines need to kept chilled. Also body parts need to be kept frozen so they can still be used. Hearts are transported in freezer boxes as well as severed limbs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The skin is considered an organ of abolition as it excretes about one quarter of the body&#8217;s wastes through perspiration. The other organs of elimination are the kidneys, the lungs, the liver and the bowels. The rationale behind considering the excretory organs as a whole when addressing skin health is that if one of the organs is overloaded, or not doing its job properly, it throws the whole system of excretion out of balance, placing greater stress on the other eliminatory channels.</p>

<p>For example, pomegranate juice has been found to prevent the thickening of the arteries if drunk daily, as well as slow down the oxidation of cholesterol. And new does research indicates it may have a much stronger antioxidant effect than red wine and green tea. Beauty foods like these can be a very useful tool in improving the way our skin looks and feels.</p>
<p>Beauty Skin care tips</p>
<p>1. Suggest using moisturizing lotion which is designed for any time skin moisturizing.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before you take any medicine, make sure you know what the medicine is, the name of it, and why you are taking it. Mistakes happen all the time in the medical field, so it is up to you to make sure you are getting the correct medicine.</p>
<p>Also, ask how long you should take the medicine and in what doses. Some medicine needs to be taken frequently while others are only once a day or even once a week. Make sure you are very clear on the dosage schedule for the medicine.</p>
<p>Find out if there are any foods or activities you need to avoid while taking a particular medicine. Some drugs will warn you to stay away from the sun or not drive while others will suggest you avoid certain foods and most will warn against drinking any alcoholic beverages. You will also want to know if any over the counter drugs like Tylenol can be taken when you are taking a particular medicine as well. Be sure you are clear on these recommendations before you take any medicine.</p>
<p>You should always ask your doctor if there are any other side effects of the medicine and what they might be. Also, some side effects of medicine are very serious so if you are taking a medicine that has a high risk factor you will want to be well informed and know what to do in case of an emergency.</p>
<p>Medicine is great because it helps people fight illnesses, feel better, and live with aches and pains. However, one should always be fully educated about a particular medicine before beginning a regimen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One out of every five adult Americans suffers with mental illness. Some important mental health problems that occur during old age include dementia, delirium, psychosis, schizophrenia and depression. Elders suffering with mental health problems tend to have abnormal cognitive and behavioral patterns that are often associated with decreased ability to function. Other prominent symptoms that elders usually complain include sleep disturbances, a change in appetite and mood differences.</p>
<p>In most cases, mental health problems in elders that require treatment are quite conveniently ignored. Improper treatment of mental illnesses in elders seems to the most prominent reason contributing to high suicidal rate in these people. Many of these people require specialized mental health services.</p>
<p>However, there are several reasons that contribute to improper mental health services to the elderly. Some of them are listed below:</p>
<p>1. In most cases, elders are reluctant to undergo treatment for their mental health disorder. They continue to harbor their minds with discomfort and stigmas, thereby showing resistance to leaving their homes and going to a rehabilitation center or a clinic.</p>
<p>2. Our society has never shown respect or dignity for individuals suffering from mental health problems. Even a mental health professional is apprehensive about an elderly person with such condition. Beliefs and attitudes of these professionals do have a significant influence on the quality of medical care provided to the patients.</p>
<p>3. Medical negligence is another big hurdle. In many situations, symptoms of mental health diseases are just written off as indicators of ageing.</p>
