Antiperspirant & Deodorant:A deodorant is a substance applied to the body to prevent body odor caused by the bacterial breakdown of perspiration in armpits, feet, and other areas of the body. A subgroup of deodorants, antiperspirants, affect odor as well as prevent sweating by affecting sweat glands.
Antiperspirants are typically applied to the underarms, while deodorants may also be used on feet and other areas in the form of body sprays. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration classifies and regulates most deodorants as cosmetics, but classifies antiperspirants as over-the-counter drugs.

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Hygiene
And Healthcare
: Avoidable
Habits
2. Hygiene
• It comes from a Greek Word
“Hygiea”, which means the
goddess of health or cleanliness.
• It means “Healthy” or “Sound (the
best)”
3. Personal Hygiene
• Personal hygiene is how you care for your body.
This practice includes bathing, washing your hands,
brushing your teeth, and more.
• Every day, you come into contact with millions of
outside germs and viruses. They can linger on your
body, and in some cases, they may make you sick.
Personal hygiene practices can help you and the
people around you prevent illnesses. They can also
help you feel good about your appearance.
4. Good Personal Hygiene
• Good personal hygiene involves keeping all parts of
the external body clean and healthy. It is important
for maintaining both physical and mental health.
• In people with poor personal hygiene, the body
provides an ideal environment for germs to grow,
leaving it vulnerable to infection.
• On a social level, people may avoid a person with
poor personal hygiene, which may result in isolation
and loneliness.
5. Types of Personal Hygiene
• Toilet Hygiene
• Shower Hygiene
• Nail Hygiene
• Teeth Hygiene
• Sickness Hygiene
• Hands Hygiene
6. Toilet hygiene
• Wash your hands after you use the restroom. Scrub
with soap for 20 to 30 seconds, and be sure to
clean between your fingers, on the back of your
hands, and under your nails. Rinse with warm
water, and dry with a clean towel.
• If you don’t have running water or soap, an alcohol-
based hand sanitizer will also work. Use one that’s
at least 60 percent alcohol.
7. Shower hygiene
• Personal preference may dictate how often you
wish to shower, but most people will benefit from a
rinse at least every other day. Showering with soap
helps rinse away dead skin cells, bacteria, and oils.
• You should also wash your hair at least twice a
week. Shampooing your hair and scalp helps
remove skin buildup and protects against oily
residues that can irritate your skin.
8. Nail hygiene
• Trim your nails regularly to keep them short and
clean. Brush under them with a nail brush or
washcloth to rinse away buildup, dirt, and germs.
• Tidying your nails helps you prevent spreading
germs into your mouth and other body openings.
You should also avoid biting your nails.
9. Teeth hygiene
• Good dental hygiene is about more than just pearly
white teeth. Caring for your teeth and gums is a smart
way to prevent gum diseases and cavities.
• Brush at least twice a day for 2 minutes. Aim to brush
after you wake up and before bed. If you can, brush
after every meal, too. Floss between your teeth daily,
and ask your dentist about using an antibacterial
mouthwash.
• These two steps can help prevent tooth decay and
eliminate pockets where bacteria and germs can build
up.
10. Sickness hygiene
If you’re not feeling well, you should take
steps to keep from spreading germs to others.
This includes covering your mouth and nose
when sneezing, wiping down shared surfaces
with an antibacterial wipe, and not sharing any
utensils or electronics. Also, immediately throw
away any soiled tissues.
11. Hands hygiene
Germs on your hands can easily enter your body through
your mouth, nose, eyes, or ears. Wash your hands:
• when you handle food
• before you eat
• if you handle garbage
• when you sneeze
• any time you touch an animal
Likewise, wash your hands after changing a baby’s
diaper, helping someone clean themselves, or when cleaning a
cut or wound.
12. Menstrual and genital hygiene
• It is important to change sanitary products regularly and
to wash the hands before and after changing tampons,
pads, or any other sanitary products.
• As vaginas are self-cleaning, using soap to clean the
vagina can cause an imbalance of its natural bacteria
and lead to infections. The vulva (the external part of
the vagina) should only need cleaning once a day using
a mild soap and water.
• People with an uncircumcised penis can clean it by
gently pulling back the foreskin and washing
underneath it with warm water or soap.

33. Bathing hygiene for kids
Give your baby baths regularly, but by about age 5,
they should be able to handle this task on their own. As
they’re growing and you’re supervising bath time, you
should take the opportunity to teach about washing all the
different body parts, especially: Armpits, groins, neck,
belly, knees, elbows, back, feet
You can also use this time to teach them how to
wash their hair without getting suds in their eyes — and
what to do if they do.
34. Side effect of poor hygiene
• Good personal hygiene habits are directly related to
less illnesses and better health. Poor personal hygiene
habits, however, can lead to some minor side effects,
like body odor and greasy skin. They can also lead to
more troublesome or even serious issues.

• hot tub rash
37.
38. Routine Hygiene Tips
Helpful tips for creating a hygiene routine include the following:
• Make it a habit: With daily practice, a new habit can become
a regular part of life. Choose one area to focus on and
practice until it becomes second nature.
• Set reminders: Using the notes app on a cell phone can be a
great way to avoid forgetting any tasks.
• Use rewards: A sticker chart can be a brilliant incentive for
children to maintain their personal hygiene.
• Invest in nice toiletries: Using products that smell good may
encourage some people to stick to their personal hygiene
routine.
39. Conclusion
• Keeping the body clean has positive effects on a
person’s social life and their physical and mental
health.
• Personal hygiene is simply looking after the body
and keeping it clean and healthy.
• Developing and maintaining a personal hygiene
routine is key to having a healthy body and mind.
