I would like to know more about herpes vaccine.Herpes vaccine appeared to us. I talked to severaldermatologists who are cautious and have not yet excited public, that claim to attack the virus must be efficiently stimulated cellular immunity (T lymphocyte) and not necessarily the humor, soantibodies to penetrate the spinal ganglion where it virus stuck.However, many research studies in their patients personally. Ipromise some conclusions for October, I will post immediately, of course. However, studies sounds good producers, good vaccine is administered to those who know partners with herpes type 1and 2, but have never had herpes, perhaps parents of children with acute herpes infection that are common, but as I said, Let's not rush and wait Romanian dermatologists to enrich experienceabout this vaccine.
Herpes is a contagious disease, infection and recurrence,caused by herpes simplex virus. It is spread by direct contact withlesions and, upon entering the body, will cause painful blistersfilled with clear liquid, accompanied by a burning sensation.
The rash is located, most I often around the mouth and nose, butin some cases it may locate in other areas. After the blistersbreak, remained a yellow crust that falls within a few days withoutleaving scars.
Although low temperatures outside could be a trigger of theeruption, the disease often recur during periods of fatigue, stress,malaise, when the immune system is weakened and even afterconsuming large amounts of alcohol.
Once entered the body, the virus can not be eliminated againstherpes treatments focusing on relieving symptoms. However, it seems that there are several ways to recurrent episodes can be prevented, and they consist largely in adopting a healthy lifestyleand a healthy diet.
Thus, to prevent weakening of the immune changes, system, avoid fatigue and make sure you get enough sleep. Suffer frominsomnia? Find out how you can fight them or drink chamomiletea every night before bed.
The asemeneea, vitamin and mineral supplements taken daily (medical advice) can be extremely effective, because fatigue canbe a symptom of iron deficiency or vitamins. In addition, vitamin Bstrengthen the nervous system, helping it to cope with stress.Vitamin C, in turn, in doses of 1-2 mg daily, can prevent recurrentepisodes of herpes installation.
In terms of diet, there is a great scheme to help us in this regard, but studies have shown that a substance found in apples and onions (quercetin) would have anti-viral properties.
SituationThe victim shows symptoms of a skin burn.
DefinitionIt is a thermal injury to the skin of origin (heat): fire / flame, hot liquid or vapor (water, oil).
Note: There are other causes, such as radiation, chemicals or electricity supply. Each case has specific consequences that may require specific assistance.
Risks1. A sunburn can cause:a. A strong pain, overwhelming and continue (unless the skin is burned deep when there's no pain in the area, but pain can be strong around it).b. specific complications, including dehydration (fluid loss), infection, hypothermia and circulatory failure due to private factors (causative agent, temperature, depth, location and surface burn or age and previous health status of the victim).2. Burn is a dynamic problem that continues even after removal of the agent that causes it, increasing expansion of the initial wound (both in depth and the surface).3. Causative agent may continue:• lead to expansion of burn (if not quickly controlled)• create additional health problems (eg. Respiratory failure due to smoke from a fire)
Principles of action1. Scene must be secured before the start of care or the victim should be moved to a safe place.2. Contact between the victim and the causative agent must be removed quickly and safely.3. Combustion process should be stopped quickly and suffering should be alleviated.4. Complications should be prevented or reduced.5. Extension and location of burning must be evaluated.
Note: Some cases may require specific actions, which are listed on the product packaging (eg. For chemical agents). For example powdered chemicals must be completely removed by brushing before you apply water to prevent further reactions.
Principles techniquesFirst aid person should explain the victim intended to be made at each step, seeking cooperation / collaboration it.
Technology: General management of skin burns due to contact with hot liquid (water, oil)Note: Hot water and oil are called "causative agent" in the rest of this chapter.
Step 1Eliminate contact between the victim and the causative agent.
Key aspects of step 1• Turn off or remove the causative agent of the victim or the victim removed the causative agent, taking into account the following principles:• avoid personal risk taking also take risks for the victim and bystanders,• avoid aggravation of the situation,• Remove clothing that is not attached to the body, without entering into contact with the causative agent present on the victim's clothes.
Justification step 1• causative agent should be regarded as an immediate danger to person and the victim first aid. Deployment assistance must take into account this fact.• First would be taken basic safety measures, such as interruption of gas or electricity supply to the cooking appliance.In case of a fire source, the victim, the person first aid and pedestrians should be away from the fire, which, if possible, should be off.
Step 2Limit the combustion process and ensure pain relief.
Key aspects of step 2• Cool the burn with water as soon as possible, taking into account the following principles:• (if possible) water should be cold, clean and flowing,• low power and a regular flow,• Make sure water drains completely, without touching other parts of the victim, you or someone else,• Continue to remove contaminated clothing from the victim, except for items that are attached to the skin.• Cooling can be continued for several minutes until the pain does not return after cessation of cooling, but before the victim is doing cold.• Ask the victim to remove potentially constrictive items such as rings, bracelets, wristwatch, etc.. if they are inside or near the injured area and if possible without causing negative consequences in November.
• If water is not available:• assess burning,• Cover wounds to minimize infection,• get help.
Justification for step 2• Until now, local water cooling is only effective immediate care that a person can apply for the uninitiated:• to remove heat and reduce temperature in injured tissue, limiting the burning, swelling and blisters forming. This prevents destruction of skin and more pronounced increase your chances of survival of the affected cells are still alive.• relieve / reduce pain felt by the victim.• Water can not be left to drain the affected area so as not to contaminate an area not yet affected.• Should not be allowed to become hypothermic victim to tremble.• There are products available such as gel to stop the burn, which include both soothing and cooling elements. Their use depends on local regulations and their availability.• rings, bracelets, wristwatch, etc.. If compression can become agents around the burned area to develop edema. This compression has negative consequences, especially to limit or block blood flow.
Note:• Scientific studies show that cooling can be effective if applied in the first 15-25 minutes after injury. Thus knowledge of time occurred when burning is an important determinant of the type of assistance that will initiate.• In some places, when running water is not available, it may be advisable to put the wounded in a bucket, bowl or something equivalent and filled with cold clean water. Water should be changed after a while, it becomes warm. Another alternative is injured area with water spray from a bottle. Both methods should respect the key issues presented, especially to prevent hypothermia.• Water is defined as "cold" when its temperature is between 8 and 23 degrees C (45-75 degrees F).
Step 3Evaluate the burn characteristics.
Key aspects of step 3• Determine:• nature of the causative agent,• any possible aggravating factor, such as burns on the face, a wrist or pelvic area, fire occurred in a closed space, smoke in case of fire, etc..• time and place / places of contact between agent and victim.• Note the location area / areas burned.• Make a rough estimate of the extension of burn / burn, using the victim's palm surface as reference unit, representing 1% of the total area of the skin.• If possible, collect information about the health of the victim (age, diseases, treatments, etc..)
Note: In circumstances other than those involving fire or hot liquids should consider aggravating factors such as trauma of the bone in case of electrical accidents, when an explosion deflagration, shortness of breath, or saliva ash into his nostrils,so.
Justification step 3• determine the characteristics of wound care measures and subsequent monitoring required by the victim.• burn area is a feature used by emergency services to assess the severity of the health and prognosis. There are rules that establish estimates for specific parts of the body surface (eg. Head is about 9% of the total area of the body of an adult).• Collect information regarding health help identify aggravating circumstances related to the history of the victim.
Step 4Prevent or decrease complications.
Key aspects of step 4• Act with clean hands and, if possible, protected (using waterproof materials - eg. Gloves or any other material available as a barrier).• Avoid the use of remedies, creams medical environments such as butter, eggs, salt, potatoes, etc.., In all cases of burning.• Avoid breaking blisters.• Place victim in a comfortable position as soon as possible.
If there is a medical service in the area:• After cooling surface simply wrap in a clean burn (eg. Bandage, fabric), or better yet in a sterile• victim to health unit.
In other situations:• Clean the burned area with non-alcoholic antiseptic solution or soap and water.• Cover the burned area, taking into account the following principles:• Use a clean (ie. Bandage, fabric), or better yet, one sterile,• Apply a dressing if possible one that prevents sticking burning,• covered with layers of absorbent material (eg. Gauze)• Keep fingers separated by layers of gauze.• Transport victim to a health care center.
Justification step 4• burn is a wound and therefore must be protected from external contamination.• It is important to prevent any risk of fainting and collapse due to pain and / or loss of liquid through burning.
Note:• Some communities make member burned in a banana leaf clean when possible. It is cold and not sticks.• There are specific materials, such as beds silver / gold, to protect and maintain heat victim.• Studies suggest that dry dressings are more effective than wet.Wet dressings and damaged skin maceration remaining affected tissues.• should be warned that adhere to the burn dressing and soak the secretions.• Administration of analgesia (eg. Nonprescription, such as paracetamol or aspirin) is not initiated by a person subject to local standards.
