More & more people are coming to hospitals with life threatening cardiac conditions & technological advancement has made it possible for doctors to diagnose the diseases such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia with the use of sophisticated health equipments. An automated external defibrillator is one such electronic device used specially for heart care & diagnosis. Defibrillation is a commonly used treatment method for cardiac ailments where a defibrillator is used to apply external electrical energy to the affected area of the heart. There are other kinds of defibrillators which can be external, transvenous and implanted. The automated external defibrillators or AEDs are always easy to handle & anybody familiar with the basic methods of heart care can use them.
If the symptoms of a cardiac arrhythmia are ignored, it can lead to dangerous consequences such as brain damage or even death. AEDs minimize the chances of a potentially dangerous condition. During a cardiac arrhythmia, when the heart fails to function, AED brings hope thereby giving the patient a chance of survival. However, it is necessary that the patient be given cardiac stimulant drugs.
Things to keep in mind
1. Though an inexperienced person may operate an AED, it is important that he or she should know the techniques of using it.
2. Before using the AED, all metal items that may be in the clothes or on the torso of the person must be removed to ensure the proper functioning of the electronic device.
3. It is very important to check that an AED is functioning properly before using it. Remember that these devices can be used for a fixed period of time so; the expiry date outside the pads has to be checked.
4. AEDs should be brightly colored to make them visible and distinguish them as life-savers.
How to use an AED
The electrode pads of the AED are applied to the bare chest of the patient during emergency. The device is designed to automatically read the condition of the patient. Once the pads are attached, any physical touch to the patient may cause a false reading. If the machine finds out the patient to be in a rhythmic shock, it starts using the battery to charge its internal capacitor and ultimately deliver the shock to the patient. This system is considered safe and ensures a fast delivery of the electrical charge. Again it any kind of physical contact with the patient is denied during the administration of the shock.
There are different types of AEDs available in the market & most of them are easy to handle. So go for a reputed brand to ensure safety. |

| The Growing Craze for Skin Care |

The skin care has become imminent to avoid showing the effects of aging. It seems to be everybody’ desire to have baby soft, smooth, wrinkle free & moist skin. But it is too difficult as over time harsh elements in the environment damage the skin making is look dry & rough. As we start to grow old, wrinkles and sagging show in our skin. Good skin care can slow down the harmful effects of time and the environment on our skin.
Before good skin care can be tried out, it is important to have a clear understanding of the functions of the skin. Skin consists of three layers. The inner most layer is the subcutaneous tissue. The tissue in the subcutaneous layer contains fat cells, which help in insulating the body. The middle layer is the dermis. The dermis contains the connective tissues. The outermost layer of skin is called the epidermis. The purpose of the epidermis is to save the inner skin from toxic environmental elements. Cells in the epidermis continuously travel from the inner most part of the epidermis to the surface, flaking off once they reach the top. The cells in the epidermis become thinner over time. Less collagen is produced causing skin to lose its elasticity. This causes the skin to develop wrinkle & sag. There is also a fall in the number of sweat glands over time leading to dryer skin. As people age, cells in the subcutaneous layer become smaller also contributing to the prominent sagging and wrinkling. UVA and UVB radiation from sunlight make the epidermis thinner. They also cause a faster breakdown of collagen in the dermis.
The cleansing & moisturizing make an essential part of good skin care. Cleansing is necessary to remove dirt and dead skin cells. It helps to prevent pimples or acne. Frequent cleansing, however, makes the skin become dry. Cleansing removes the oil on the skin, which keeps moisture. As a result moisturizers are needed to restore water to the skin and minimize the skin damage. Special liquid cleaners are advised over using traditional bar soap. Liquid cleansers can be combined with moisturizer to overcome the drying agents in the cleansers. The type of cleaner chosen depends on the skin type of the person using it. Vitamin E is often included in good skin care products as it helps moisturize the skin. It also maintains elasticity. The type of moisturizer used is important as well. A heavier moisturizer should be used at night while a thinner, lighter moisturizer is recommended for daytime use.
Good skin care demands a lot of attention. A routine of cleaning and moisturizing should be followed everyday in order to be effective. Again, avoiding exposure to the sun and tanning is ideal to prevent the harmful effects of radiation. Application of sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 is helpful as well. Smoking should be avoided. A healthy diet is beneficial in improving the elasticity of the skin. Drinking water is essential to good skin care. Water helps the body function better. It also cleans the pores from the inside. It re-hydrates the skin, which helps the skin stay moist. Keeping good habits in addition to good skin care will help the skin age gracefully and beautifully. |

| Basic Skin Care Requirement |

The care we give to our skin depends largely on the type of the skin we have. It may be normal, oily or dry skin. The skin care for oily skin is not the same as that of dry skin & the care for normal skin seems to be different from that of oily skin. So it would be best to find out your skin type & the skin care strategy to be followed later can be developed on it.
However a good daily skin care routine calls for four basic steps: Cleansing, Exfoliating, Toning and Moisturizing. If you are not practicing these steps daily, you are failing to take proper care of your skin.
1. Cleansing
Cleansing is an essential skin care step that should be followed on a daily basis. It removes the dust and dirt that get deposited on the skin pores & blocks the pores them. Most people practice this 2-3 times a day which is adequate for normal skins but for oily skin type a more frequent cleaning is required. Even 4-5 times a day, using either soap or some kind of cleansing agent would be required. However frequent cleansing should be avoided. Washing at night is particularly helpful. Most women prefer to use warm water in the cleansing method so as to remove the dirt from the clogged pores. A proper makeup remover should again be used to take off the facial makeup.
2. Exfoliation
Sometimes our skin looks dull due to the building of dead skin cells on it. The deposition of dead cells also makes the pores get blocked & give rise to acne. The process of Exfoliation helps remove the dead skin cells easily. Facial scrubs are used in it to help surface of the skin get cleared of all the dead skin cells and the dirt. The exfoliants have been used by european women for decades. Though skin exfoliation is perfect for greasy or normal skin, but should be used cautiously on dry or sensitive skin.
3. Toning
It is usually seen that facial make-up or residual cleanser are left behind & toning the skin helps us remove them. The natural pH level of the skin can be maintained with the use of a toner which again makes your skin clean, clear and ready to be hydrated. Toning tightens the skin, closes the pores, and keeps it away from being exposed to many of the toxins that are present in the air or other environmental pollutants.
4. Moisturizing
Well-moisturized skin always looks soft and supple, reflects a healthy glow and ages slowly. Moisturisers give a finishing touch to make-up. Using a soft moisturising cream will make make-up much easier to apply on and reduce the risk of dragging the skin. |

Most of us are seen to be speculative on the role of diet in the growth of hair & if it really does, then which foods should be taken?
Some of the pharmaceutical companies also try to find out the answer of the same question by comparing the growth in hair to the diet. These companies claim to have considered several traditional as well as advance haircare formulas to see the hair growth & then compare it with dietary supplements & finally arrive at a conclusion to tell you which foods are best for your hair? Though nothing concrete has come out of such experiments but we can hope to get the desirable result very soon. If ever such haircare tips in the form of dietary program evolve then it would create ripple in the entire world. It will help many avoid hair fall & grow their hair in a never before manner.
According to age old haircare tips, our hair growth requires moisture & drinking a lot of water will help maintain our overall body condition and hair too. Basically, it is water which makes up ¼ of the weight of each one of our hair strands. Since the hair gets its supply of water from the body itself, a reduction in body water level will have a negative impact on hair. The question arises is this responsible for dry hair? Not exactly but there are certain external factors which give rise to dryness in hair. If this is not the case then lack of moisture in body may be the reason behind it.
Protein is the main constituent of hair. A certain quantity of protein should be taken in our diet to maintain body protein level. According to haircare, when our body starves of protein, it is reflected in our hair. As a result of lack of body protein, the hair does not able to grow properly.
Down the list come minerals which play a vital role in hair growth. Iron is the most important of all the available minerals. Iron carries oxygen to hair. We get severely affected when the oxygen level falls drastically. Then we need to concentrate on the seafood & meats which contain high quantity of zinc. It is assumed that zinc can help prevent hair loss & reduce hair fall. Many believe that the copper present in nuts, vegetables, seeds & meats will help us keep our natural hair color.
When we are considering haircare tips, we have to take into account all the above mentioned aspect of it. First, we need to focus on doing everything to make our hair healthy by maintaining a proper dietary program including the foods described above. |

Common symptoms include dry and itchy skin, wrinkles, sagging, color changes, and age spots. Fortunately there are steps that we can take to keep our skin looking and feeling its best.

The most important skin care formula is to protect it from the damaging effect of ultraviolet rays which can lead to wrinkles, premature aging, age spots, and even cancer. Don’t let your skin get exposed to the sun’s rays. Use a natural sunscreen, or a moisturizer that contains sunscreen (at least SPF 15) every day. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you should stop venturing out fully as your skin needs some sunlight each day. Aim for 10-15 minutes of direct exposure around sunrise or sunset.
Dry skin is very common, especially with growing age. Older skin fails to produce more sweat and oil glands become weak as compared to younger skin. Dry skin may also be caused by frequent baths, certain cosmetics or medications. But whatever the cause, there are ways to revive your dull looking skin.
