Anorexia Nervosa

I've been browsing and fixing my files on my pc and one of the most scattered files are my student files. Me as a graduate of nursing, you will expect medical notes/files in my pc, these are lectures, homeworks or projects we have here in school. I just thought of sharing my researches in the world rather that just leave my files in my pc and get rotten. This is one of them. Anorexia Nervosa: one of the most common eating disorders, person with this disorder are not aware of their condition. If you know someone that you could relate to this article, maybe you could help them.

The word anorexia means "loss of appetite," Anorectics—95 percent of whom are women—often have a normal appetite but because of an abnormal fear of being fat and a distorted body image, they're convinced that they're obese and refuse to eat. Anorexia is considered a psychological disorder because there is no known physical cause for the extreme weight loss associated with the condition. You may be anorectic if you:

• Lose at least 25 percent of your original weight.
• Have not had a physical or mental illness that could have caused the weight loss.
• Think of yourself as fat even if you're not.
• Fear being overweight and losing control over your eating behavior.
• Refuse to eat enough to maintain or return to a normal weight.
• Fail to menstruate for at least three consecutive months.
• Feel that all of your energy is going into controlling your weight.
• Feel that staying hungry is the only way you can avoid becoming fat.

OUch, my FoOt HurTs!!!

Our classes are about to end, in my case, corns on my foot are just starting to get worse.

A foot corn is an area of thickened skin that occurs in areas of pressure. In the foot, the skin will thicken up to protect itself when the areas of high pressure have not been eliminated. Eventually, you will experience a great deal of pain in the foot at the area of the corn.

Really true because I have this school shoes that didn't fit well to me. It doesn't hurt my foot when i'm wearing it but I can feel the pressure on my right toes especially on the smallest ones. Imagine you're wearing the same shoes for like 3-5x a week, it really hurts so bad, especially now that it started to get worse. So i try to find treatments on how to get rid of these corns. I have this kinda big corn and few other small ones around it that is starting to grow so i really must treat this right away. I bought a salicylic acid which was said to be a treatment for corns, i just hope that it will be effective. And sometimes I soak my foot in a warm water to soften it. I really want this to be over, i don't want to feel any pain anymore.

Stretch Marks Solution

Skin does not bounce back if it has been stretched by rapid growth due to weight gain, extreme weight loss, and the most common cause, pregnancy. Instead, it becomes decorated by a form of scarring called stretch marks, or striae. Stretch marks often start off as reddish or purplish in color and then become glossy skin that appears streaked in silver or white.

Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the elastic middle layer of skin that allows it to retain its shape. However, when constantly stretched, the dermis can break down leaving behind stretch marks.

Men and women can get stretch marks on several areas of their bodies, including the abdominal area, thighs, hips, breasts, upper arms, or lower back.

There are many treatments available to prevent stretch marks, some surgeries such as dermabrasion or laser surgeries can be done but over-the -counter stretch mark creams are most prefererred by many and is much safer than to have surgeries. You can search around the net for possible remedies. Divas-blog talks about different creams incuding revitol stretch mark cream, which was ranked high as the most effective among all those creams available.

Maybe this would help you wipe off your stretch mark problems and be able to have beautiful and flawless skin that you ever wanted.

Nursing Home Still Goes On

As a nursing student, I am familiar with different health care institutions that are really helpful for patients, we are able to have a duty in a nursing home for elderly and it was a nice experience. We pity these old people but we have realized that for some it is better that they've been admitted there rather than to be with their family that didn't mind them at all nor give them the proper care that they need.

Nursing homes is said to be a facility for care for patients that are not really that sick to demand hospital care but for those who are not able to stay at home. Mostly, these nursing homes include elderly patients, those who had ill or had chronic or long term diseases that are sometimes irreversible and those with disabling disorders. At first medical and nursing care were minimal but today nursing home plays an active role in health care. Most nursing homes had very well trained staffs that treats the residents well. They are guiding and helping their patients to be prepared to live at home or with a family member as a much as possible. It is a good alternative for elderly people who had for example a very mild disease which has in need of proper care only than having them on expensive hospitals. But sometimes, we must think first and be considerate on putting elderly people in nursing homes, if we can and if we are still able to, then we must be the one who must give the care that they deserve but of course, if there's nothing that we can do, nursing home could be the best place for them.
