First aid involves providing initial care to an injured or ill person until further medical help can be accessed. It generally consists of simple techniques that can be performed with minimal equipment to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery. A first aid kit contains supplies needed to treat common injuries and ailments, and should be stored in easily accessible locations. Proper first aid training focuses on assessment and treatment of airway, breathing, circulation emergencies as well as supplies for wound care, pain relief, and other symptomatic treatments.

Deaths from choking most often occur in the very young (children under 2 years old) and in the elderly (adults over 75 years). Obstruction of the airway can occur at the level of the pharynx or the trachea. Foods that can adapt their shape to that of the pharynx (such as bananas, marshmallows, or gelatinous candies) can be a danger not just for children but for persons of any age.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

1. First aid
First aid is the provision of initial care for an illness or injury. It is usually performed by
non-expert, but trained personnel to a sick or injured person until definitive medical
treatment can be accessed. Certain self-limiting illnesses or minor injuries may not require
further medical care past the first aid intervention. It generally consists of a series of
simple and in some cases, potentially life-saving techniques that an individual can be
trained to perform with minimal equipment.
While first aid can also be performed on all animals, the term generally refers to care
of human patients.
History
The instances of recorded first aid were provided by religious knights, such as the
Knights Hospitaller, formed in the 11th century, providing care to pilgrims and knights,
and training other knights in how to treat common battlefield injuries.
Aims
The key aims of first aid can be summarized in three key points:[5]
• Preserve life: the overriding aim of all medical care, including first aid, is to save
lives
• Prevent further harm: also sometimes called prevent the condition from
worsening, or danger of further injury, this covers both external factors, such
as moving a patient away from any cause of harm, and applying first aid techniques
to prevent worsening of the
condition, such as applying
pressure to stop a bleed
becoming dangerous.
• Promote recovery: first aid
also involves trying to start
the recovery process from
the illness or injury, and in
some cases might involve
completing a treatment,
such as in the case of
applying a plaster to a small
wound
First aid training also involves the
prevention of initial injury and
responder safety, and the treatment phases.
2. First aid kit
A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid, and
can put together for the purpose (by an individual or organization, for instance), or
purchased complete. There is a wide variation in the contents of first aid kits based on
the knowledge and experience of those putting it together, the differing first aid
requirements of the area where it may be used, and variations in legislation or regulation
in a given area.
Building and Storing Your First Aid Kits
Get a Container for Your First Aid Kit
First aid kits can be assembled in almost any type of container, and this will depend on
whether they are commercially produced or assembled by an individual. Standard kits
often come in durable plastic boxes, fabric pouches or in wall mounted cabinets. The
type of container will vary depending on purpose, and they range in size from wallet
sized through to large rucksacks.
It is recommended that all kits are in a clean, waterproof container to keep the contents
safe and aseptic. Kits should also be checked regularly and restocked if any items are
damaged or expired out of date.
What You'll Need
Include the following in each of your first-aid kits:
• first-aid manual
• your list of emergency phone numbers
Airway, Breathing and Circulation
First aid treats the ABCs as the foundation of good treatment. For this reason, most
modern commercial first aid kits (although not necessarily those assembled at home) will
contain a suitable infection barrier for performing artificial respiration as part
of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, examples include:
• Pocket mask
• Face shield
Trauma injuries
• sterile gauze pads of different sizes
• adhesive tape
• adhesive bandages in several sizes
• elastic bandage
• a splint
• antiseptic wipes
3. • soap
• antibiotic ointment
• antiseptic solution (like hydrogen peroxide)
• hydrocortisone cream (1%)
• acetaminophen and ibuprofen
• extra prescription medications (if the family is going on vacation)
Instruments & equipments
• tweezers
• sharp scissors
• safety pins
• disposable instant cold packs
• calamine lotion
• alcohol wipes or ethyl alcohol
• thermometer
• tooth preservation kit
• flashlight and extra batteries
• mouthpiece for administering CPR (can be obtained from your local Red Cross)
• blanket (stored nearby)
Personal protective equipment
• plastic non-latex gloves (at least 2 pairs)
• Goggles
• Surgical mask
• Apron
Advanced first aid kits may also contain items such as:
• Oropharyngeal airway
• Nasopharyngeal airway
• Bag valve mask
• Manual aspirator or suction unit
• Sphygmomanometer(blood pressure cuff)
• Stethoscope
After you've stocked your first-aid kits:
• Read the entire first-aid manual so you'll understand how to use the contents of your
kits. (If your kids are old enough to understand, review the manuals with them.)
• Store first-aid kits in places that are out of children's reach but easily accessible for
adults.
• Check the kits regularly. Replace missing items or medicines that may have expired.
• Check the flashlight batteries to make sure they work.
4. • If you're flying, be sure to pack the first-aid kit in your checked luggage. Many of
the items won't be permitted in your carry-on bags.
Medical Information for Your First Aid Kit
While not part of your first aid kit, anyone with a medical problem should have that
medical information easily accessible at all times. There are several ways to organize
medical informationand make it available to rescuers.
For the rest of your first aid kit, you'll need:
Life saving
• Aspirin primarily used for central medical chest pain as an anti-platelet
• Epinephrine autoinjector(brand name Epipen) - often included in kits for
wilderness use and in places such as summer camps, to treat anaphylactic shock.
Pain killers
• Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen) is one of the most common pain killing
medication, as either tablet or syrup
• Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen or other NSAIDs can be
used as part of treating sprains and strains.
• Codeine which is both a painkiller and anti-diarrheal
Symptomatic relief
• Anti-diarrhea medication such as Loperamide- especially important in remote or
third world locations where dehydration caused by diarrhea is a leading killer of
children
• Oral rehydration salts
• Antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine
• Poison treatments
• Absorption, such as activated charcoal
• Emetics to induce vomiting, such as syrup of ipecac although first aid manuals
now advise against inducing vomiting.
• Smelling Salts (ammonium carbonate)
Topical medications
• Antiseptic ointment, fluid, moist wipe or spray, including benzalkonium chloride,
Neomycin, Polymyxin B Sulfate or Bacitracin Zinc.
• Povidone iodine is an antiseptic in the from of liquid, swabstick, or towelette
• Aloe vera gel - used for a wide variety of skin problems, including burns, sunburns,
itching, and dry skin; used as a substitute for triple-antibiotic gel to keep a wound
moist and prevent bandages from sticking
• Burn gel - a water-based gel that acts as a cooling agent and often includes a mild
anesthetic such as lidocaine and, sometimes, an antiseptic such as tea tree oil
5. • Anti-itch ointment
• Hydrocortisone cream
• antihistamine cream containing diphenhydramine
• Calamine lotion
• Anti-fungal cream
• Tincture of benzoin- often in the form of an individually sealed swabstick,
protects the skin and aids the adhesion of butterfly strips or adhesive bandages.
Where to Keep Your First Aid Kit
First aid kits have a habit of ending up in the backyard, upstairs, at the curb, out in the
garage, etc. Keeping your home first aid kit in a central location helps to keep it
accessible during large or small emergencies. It's a good idea to maintain different first
aid kits for the home and each car. Different first aid kits mean they will be available at
all times. Some places to keep first aid kits:
•bathroom cabinets
•kitchen cabinets
•car (glove compartment is most accessible)
•boat
•workshop
•garage
•playground
•classroom
•mosque
