FROSBITE
Frostbite refers to skin and tissue damage caused by freezing temperatures below -0.55°C. It is most common in people spending long periods outdoors, the very young/old, and those with circulation problems or taking medications that constrict blood vessels. When exposed to cold, the body prioritizes core warmth by constricting blood vessels in the extremities, causing them to freeze. Frostbite symptoms range from numbness to blistering and blackened skin depending on severity. Immediate first aid includes slowly rewarming the affected area and seeking medical help to assess damage and prevent complications like infection or tissue death.

FIRST AID
First aid is the provision of immediate care to a victim with an injury or illness, usually effected by a lay person, and performed within a limited skill range.
•First aid is normally performed until the injury or illness is satisfactorily dealt with (such as in the case of small cuts, minor bruises, and blisters) or until the next level of care, such as a paramedic or doctor, arrives.
•First aid is an emergency aid or treatment given to someone injured, suddenly ill, etc., before regular medical services arrive or can be reached.
Wounds
There are two types of wounds: open and closed. Open wounds break the skin and can be minor (scrapes, cuts) or major (deep injuries, amputations). Minor wounds include abrasions, cuts, lacerations, punctures and tears. Major wounds involve embedded objects or amputations. Closed wounds occur internally without breaking the skin, and can cause internal bleeding. Basic first aid treatment for wounds involves assessing the situation, controlling any bleeding, and seeking further medical help if needed.
Basic First Aid (Bleeding)
This document provides information on basic first aid for bleeding. It discusses the different types of bleeding (capillary, venous, arterial), common causes of bleeding (trauma, medical conditions, medicines), and treatment for severe bleeding. The treatment section outlines steps to address severe bleeding such as applying direct pressure to stop the bleeding, elevating the injured body part, and seeking emergency medical help when bleeding is under control or continuing to wait for assistance. Military and civilian first aid approaches are also briefly mentioned.
First aid
First aid is the immediate assistance given to any person suffering from either a sudden illness or an injury with the goal of preventing any further worsening of their condition until they can receive full medical care. It involves assessing the situation, providing appropriate care like stopping blood loss, treating for shock, immobilizing fractures, and making the individual comfortable while arranging for their transfer to the emergency room if needed. Key priorities include checking for breathing issues, blood loss, and treating shock before addressing less severe injuries or ailments. Proper first aid requires remaining calm, thinking clearly, and knowing how to handle common medical emergencies through basic techniques.
First aid procedure for poisoning
Poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, absorption, or injection of toxic substances. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, abdominal pain, unconsciousness, seizures, or breathing issues depending on the poison and route of exposure. The first aid procedure for poisoning involves checking the safety of the situation, noting details of the exposure, checking the victim's consciousness, clearing their airway if unconscious, wiping the mouth if burned, and seeking medical help.

First aid for Snake bite
This document provides first aid guidelines for snake bites. It outlines common signs and symptoms of snake bites such as pain, swelling, increased heart rate, and numbness. For first aid, it recommends ensuring the scene is safe, reassuring the victim, removing tight clothing, immobilizing the bitten area, and promptly transporting the victim to a health facility. Actions to avoid include panicking, trying to harm the snake, cutting the wound, applying a tourniquet or ice, sucking the venom, or giving anything by mouth.
Basic first aid guide
This document provides information on various first aid procedures. It defines first aid as emergency medical care for injured or sick persons until full medical help arrives. As a first aider, one must act within their limits of ability, maintain privacy of casualties, control the first aid kit, and file incident reports. Priorities in emergencies include assessing safety, calling for help, and treating airway, breathing and circulation issues first. Specific treatments are outlined for conditions like abdominal pain, bleeding, broken bones, burns, choking, cuts, dizziness and eye injuries.

This document provides information on basic first-aid trainings, including objectives, definitions, importance, and treatment procedures for various injuries and emergencies. It details first-aid for burns, bleeding, fractures, and performing CPR. Burns are classified and cooling/covering procedures described. For bleeding, direct pressure and elevation are emphasized. Fractures should be immobilized. CPR involves checking for response, calling for help, giving 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths with each cycle until emergency services arrive.
Burn
A burn is a type of injury to skin, or other tissues, caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Most burns are due to heat from hot liquids, solids, or fire. While rates are similar for males and females the underlying causes often differ.
Burn And Scald
Burn and scald injuries can be caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, or radiation. Thermal burns are the most common and are classified as superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness depending on the depth of tissue damage. A severe burn over 25% of the total body surface area can cause systemic effects like shock due to fluid loss, decreased blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Complications include infection, respiratory failure, renal failure, and contractures. The severity of the burn is estimated using methods like the Rule of Nines or Lund and Browder chart which divide the body into sections and assign a percentage of total body surface area to each.
Burns & scalds
This document discusses burns and scalds, including their causes, pathophysiology, assessment, treatment, and complications. The major points covered are:
- Burns are caused by dry heat (fire, electricity) or wet heat (scalds from hot liquids) and result in coagulative necrosis of tissue.
- Pathophysiology includes increased vascular permeability, fluid shifts from blood vessels to tissues, and potential for shock with large burns over 15% of body surface area.
- Assessment involves determining burn depth (superficial vs. partial vs. full thickness) and percentage of total body surface area burned, often using the Rule of Nine.
- Treatment principles are airway, breathing, circulation support along with
First aid for shock
This document provides information on first aid for shock. It defines first aid as initial care for an injury or illness to prevent further harm until more advanced care arrives. Shock is explained as a dangerous condition where not enough oxygen-rich blood reaches vital organs, which can be caused by anything reducing blood flow. Common causes, types, signs and symptoms of shock are outlined. The development of shock in stages from compensatory to decompensatory to irreversible is described. First aid management of shock is explained as calling for emergency help, laying the victim flat and raising their legs, monitoring for vomiting, and maintaining normal body temperature. Special considerations for shock in children are also noted.
Firstaid
This document provides an overview of first aid techniques for various common medical emergencies. It covers assessing consciousness, examining a casualty, treating wounds like cuts, abrasions and puncture wounds. It also outlines first aid protocols for bleeding, fractures, burns, performing CPR, treating shock, and assisting someone during an asthma attack. The key steps for conditions like bleeding and fractures involve not moving the casualty, splinting fractures, applying pressure to wounds and treating for shock. CPR involves tilting the head, pinching the nose, giving rescue breaths and chest compressions.
First aid
First aid is the immediate treatment given for any injury or sudden illness before emergency medical assistance arrives. The aims of first aid are to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery. Proper first aid procedures include handwashing to prevent infection, performing CPR to restore breathing and circulation, treating choking by administering back blows and abdominal thrusts, treating burns by cooling the area and covering it, treating wounds by cleaning and covering them, and treating snake bites by immobilizing the area and seeking immediate medical help without tying, cutting, sucking or applying ice to the bite area.
First Aid Presentation
This document provides instructions for first aid techniques including how to stop bleeding, treat fractures, care for burns, treat shock, and care for hypothermia. It details that to stop bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound until it stops. To make a splint, immobilize the broken area with a rigid support like a piece of wood and bandages above and below the break. Minor burns should be cooled with water while major burns require immediate medical help. Shock can result from trauma, infection or other causes, with symptoms like pale skin and rapid pulse, and should be treated by lying down with feet raised and keeping the person warm. For hypothermia, signs are shivering and slurred speech, and treatment involves removing
Burns
Burns are injuries caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction or radiation. There are different types of burns including thermal, chemical, electrical and radiation burns. Burns are classified by depth from superficial to full thickness. Management of burns involves three phases - emergent, intermediate and rehabilitative. The emergent phase focuses on fluid resuscitation while the intermediate phase involves wound care and the rehabilitative phase aims to return the patient to their normal activities. Nursing plays an important role in assessing burns, providing wound care, pain management and rehabilitation.
Burns And Scalds
Burns and scalds can be caused by either dry heat from fire, hot objects, or electricity which cause burns, or wet heat from hot liquids, steam which cause scalds. Signs include redness, swelling, blisters and charred skin. If someone has a burn or scald, remove any jewellery, apply a sterile dressing or cling film, treat for shock if needed, and seek medical help if serious. Minor burns should be cooled under cold running water for at least 10 minutes.

FIRST AID
This document provides instructions for treating different types of burns. It describes classifying burns as minor or major and by cause (thermal, electrical, chemical, radiant). It outlines steps for various burn scenarios such as putting out flames, removing a casualty from an electrical current, treating chemical and laser burns, and dressing different burn wounds. The key steps are controlling the burn, preventing shock, dressing the wound, and evacuating serious burns to medical care.
The basics of first aid
First aid is defined as any emergency care given to an injured or sick person prior to professional medical treatment. The purpose of first aid is to preserve life, stabilize the patient, prevent contamination, aid recovery, and safely transport the patient for further care. It is important for first aiders to understand they are not doctors and should only provide care to keep the patient alive until emergency help arrives. Proper first aid kits, universal precautions like gloves and masks, and understanding conditions like shock, bleeding, burns and more are essential for effectively responding to common injuries and emergencies until advanced medical care can take over.
burns ppt.
A burn is an injury to the skin or flesh caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction or radiation. There are three degrees of burns: first-degree burns damage the outer layer of skin, second-degree burns damage the outer and inner layers, and third-degree burns damage the deepest skin layers and tissues below. Burns can cause swelling, blistering, scarring, shock and even death if severe, and increase risk of infection by damaging the skin's protective barrier. Treatment depends on the degree of the burn, with first and second usually healing without grafts but third often requiring skin grafts.

Burns
The document discusses the classification and treatment of burns. It describes the three layers of skin and classifies burns as first, second, or third degree based on the depth of damage. First degree burns only damage the outer epidermis, while second degree burns pass through the epidermis into the dermis. Third degree burns extend through all layers of skin and into fat, muscle or bone. Treatment depends on the severity and size of the burn, with minor first and second degree burns treated at home through cooling, covering and pain relief, while more severe burns require immediate medical attention.
Electrical shock in first aid emergency.pptx
The document provides information on treating electrical shocks and injuries. It states that electrical shocks can cause burns, internal damage, cardiac arrest or other injuries. The first steps of treatment are to turn off the power source if possible, call for emergency help, begin CPR if needed, prevent chilling, and cover burns with sterile gauze. Fractures are bone breaks or cracks that should be immobilized, and burns range from minor to major depending on size, depth and location - major burns require emergency medical care.
First aid
An unconscious person requires immediate first aid attention. Check their breathing, provide CPR if needed, prevent shock by keeping them warm and comfortable, and call for emergency help. Specific causes of unconsciousness like choking, electric shock, burns or bleeding each require customized first aid procedures to stabilize the person until emergency medical assistance arrives.
first aid emergency total content 8.4.22.pptx
First aid is the first and immediate assistance given to any person with either a minor or serious illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery until medical services arrive. First aid is generally performed by someone with basic medical training
Burn
This document outlines the assessment and management of burn injuries. It defines burns as coagulative destruction of skin or tissue layers caused by heat, cold, electricity, radiation, chemicals or lightning. Burns are classified based on depth of tissue damage into superficial/first degree, partial thickness/second degree, full thickness/third degree, or fourth degree burns affecting deeper tissues. Assessment involves determining burn depth based on appearance and sensitivity. Management includes initial interventions to ensure airway, breathing, circulation, then covering and elevating burns, watching for shock, and minimizing complications like infection through aseptic techniques and early excision/grafting.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Adhd Medication Shortage Uk - trinexpharmacy.com

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
