How to stop bleeding: Eight effective home remedies Injuries that result in bleeding are very common, but even the minor bleeding caused by cuts and scrapes needs to be stopped. Often these injuries can be treated at home, but it is important that a person knows how to do this safely. Whoever is treating the wound should wash their hands and wear latex gloves if possible. In this article, we look at eight home remedies that stop minor bleeding. 1. Apply pressure Firm and continuous pressure on a wound is the best way to stop bleeding. Applying pressure to the wound is the best way to stop it bleeding. Place a clean and dry piece of material such as a bandage, towel, or cloth on the wound and apply pressure with both hands. Maintain firm and continuous pressure until the bleeding has stopped. Checking too soon to see if the bleeding has stopped may interfere with the healing process. 2. Raise the affected area Reducing the flow of blood will also help stop...
Memory foam was developed in 1966 to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. The temperature-sensitive memory foam was initially referred to as “slow spring back foam”; it also called temper foam Created by feeding gas into a polymer matrix, the foam has an open-cell solid structure that matches pressure against it, yet slowly springs back to its original shape. Including it in both medical equipment such as X-ray table pads and sports equipment such as helmet liners. Memory foam was subsequently used in medical settings. For example, it was commonly used in cases where the patient was required to lie immobile in their bed on a firm mattress for an unhealthy period of time. The pressure on some of their body regions impaired the blood flow to the region, causing pressure sores or gangrene . Memory foam mattresses significantly decreased such events. [2] Claims have also been made that memory foam reduces the severity of pain associated...
Space travel: Here's what happens to the human body Space is a dangerous and unforgiving place, and spending time away from gravity takes its toll on the human body, as many astronauts have found out after returning to Earth. But what exactly are the risks? Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai this week may have briefly grabbed news headlines by announcing he had stretched a staggering 9cm (3.5in) in just three weeks onboard the International Space Station (ISS). He later admitted he had miscalculated the figure and it was actually just 2cm (0.9in), but significant height changes are actually normal for astronauts spending time in space. Without the strong pull of Earth's gravity, spinal vertebrae can expand or "unload" leading to a slight change of height. But research shows that once back on Earth, astronaut's heights go back to normal. ADVERTISEMENT What happens during a year in space? Usually astronauts are sent to the ISS for about six months at the...
