Workers exposed to extreme cold are at risk of cold stress, which can cause hypothermia, frostbite, trench foot, and chilblains. Hypothermia occurs when prolonged exposure to cold causes the body to use up its stored energy and can no longer produce heat. Its early symptoms include shivering and loss of coordination, and its late symptoms include blue skin and loss of consciousness. First aid involves warming the body core and seeking immediate medical help. Frostbite causes freezing injury, especially to exposed areas like fingers and toes. Its symptoms include numbness, pain, and bluish skin. First aid is to slowly warm the affected areas. Trench foot results from prolonged exposure to wet and cold conditions

Prickly heat is a common rash caused by trapped sweat under the skin, typically occurring in areas exposed to heat and humidity. It causes tiny red bumps and an itchy, stinging sensation. Prickly heat is often triggered by prolonged exposure to warm temperatures and humidity. Simple treatments like calamine lotion, cool baths, and loose, breathable clothing can help relieve symptoms, which usually clear up on their own within a few days. Children are more susceptible due to less developed sweat glands. Preventing sweat from becoming trapped by avoiding heavy creams and washing sweat away can help reduce the risk of prickly heat. A doctor visit may be needed if the rash persists or becomes infected.

Audiometry testing involves measuring hearing levels and can be done as part of health surveillance programs under noise regulations or for safety assessments. Equipment must be calibrated annually and ambient noise must be below 30dB for on-site testing. The employee should avoid loud noises before testing and complete a questionnaire. Hearing levels are tested and any issues identified are reported to management along with recommendations to address noise hazards. Results are used to determine if follow up testing or referrals are needed based on hearing loss categories.

Many people, both sexes, deal with the inconvenience of oily skin. A greasy or shiny appearance is caused by the oil on the skin. Sebaceous or oil glands, which create sebum, a mixture of lipids, are abundant in the skin of the face. Because of this sebum, the skin becomes oily.
cne skin causes can appear on any part of your skin. Acne causes blemishes and bumps on the skin, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. When oil and dead skin cells get stuck in hair follicles, it causes inflammation.
There’s no denying the psychological distress that acne skin causes may bring. Confidence and self-esteem can be affected by acne and acne scars, especially if they are located on the face or other highly visible portions of the body.
Sunburn occurs when skin is overexposed to UV rays from the sun or tanning beds. It causes skin redness and pain. For mild cases, self-care measures like aloe vera, cool compresses, and pain relievers can help. More severe sunburn with blistering may require seeing a doctor. The best prevention is to avoid sun exposure and wear protective clothing and sunscreen with a high SPF that is reapplied regularly.

The fit note was launched in the UK in 2010 replacing the sicknote. The idea is that workers be encouraged to work even though they have a health condition or to come back to work before they are fully fit. This helps recovery and makes people feel better plus actually speeds up recovery.
GP's now have the option to say that someone can return to work with modified duties or even in a different job. However, many GP's do not understand the local workplaces, how can they, there are many and each one will have different job roles and capacity to change the content of jobs.
So it makes sense that if an employee is feeling unwell or thinking of returning to work early, a discussion is had with the Manager to look at what sort of work is available as a short term measure or as part of a rehabilitation programme,

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments.

It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.
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.
