In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: About 35% of ganglion cysts don’t cause any pain — the only problem with them is that you might find them ugly. Luckily, about 38-58% of ganglion cysts actually go away on their own. If your ganglion isn’t causing you any real trouble, you might just leave it as is and see if the situation resolves on its own. There are many products available over-the-counter that can help reduce swelling. The reduced swelling will ease pain temporarily, until the medication wears off and the swelling returns. However, because many ganglion cysts resolve on their own, managing pain in the short term is often a good way to wait it out. The three most common types of anti-inflammatory drugs available in pharmacies are:  Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) Naproxen sodium (Aleve) Aspirin (Ascriptin, Bayer, Ecotrin) If you're feeling pain from your ganglion cyst, try applying cold to it. You can buy a gel pack from a pharmacy, or simply wrap some ice or a pack of frozen vegetables in a towel. Apply it directly to the area where you're feeling pain for 20 minutes at a time. Do this at least every day, up to once every three hours. Although the exact cause of ganglion cysts is still unknown, a leading theory suggests that they result from trauma to the joint (like a hard knock or crushing force). Another theory argues that they form when a joint is overused. In either case, limiting joint movement is known to relieve pain and speed up the healing process. Let the affected limb rest as much as possible. You might find it hard to remember that you’re resting your joint, especially if the cyst is on the wrist. While it’s easy to remember to stay off your feet, remembering to stop talking with your hands can be harder! In that case, you might consider applying a splint to the joint. It will both serve as a physical reminder to rest the joint and limit the joint’s movement when you use the limb.  Place a rigid object (like a piece of wood) along the joint you want to stabilize. You can also wrap the joint in something like a magazine or thick padding of towel or clothing. The splint should extend beyond the joint in both directions, so movement is as limited as possible. For example, a wrist splint should extend from the forearm, past the wrist, and down to the hand.  Tie the splint into place with whatever you have on hand — a necktie, tape, a belt, etc. Don’t tie the splint too tightly — you shouldn’t be cutting off blood flow. If your hands or feet start to tingle, loosen your splint. A ganglion is essentially a balloon of liquid, and when it presses up against a nerve, it can cause pain. To encourage the cyst to drain its liquid naturally, doctors often suggest massaging the area. You don’t need to use any particular technique or seek professional massage therapy, though. Simply rub the ganglion gently, but frequently throughout the day. Over time, you should see an improvement in symptoms. Ganglion cysts are sometimes called “Bible bumps” because people try to get rid of them by smashing them with a heavy book — like the Bible. While smashing the ganglion can temporarily get rid of it, there’s a 22-64% chance that the cyst will return if you use this method. Furthermore, you can cause even more damage to the already damaged tissue around the ganglion, or even break a bone if you smash the book with too much force.
Summary: Be patient. Take anti-inflammatory painkillers. Apply ice. Don’t use the affected joint as much. Stabilize the joint with a splint if necessary. Massage the cyst. Do not smash the ganglion with a book.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use your patient’s belly button as the center and divide your listening around the belly button into four sections. Listen to the upper left, upper right, lower left and right. Normal bowel sounds sound like when your stomach growls or grumbles. Anything else may suggest that something is wrong and that the patient requires further evaluation. You should hear “growling” in all four sections. Sometimes after surgery, bowel sounds will take a while to return. Most of the sounds that you hear when listening to your patient’s bowels are just the sounds of digestion. Although most bowel sounds are normal, some abnormalities could point to a problem. If you are unsure if the bowel sounds you hear are normal and/or the patient has other symptoms, then the patient should see a doctor for further evaluation.  If you do not hear any bowel sounds, that may mean that something is blocked in the patient’s stomach. It can also indicate constipation and bowel sounds may return on their own. But if they do not return, then there may be a blockage. In this case, the patient would need further evaluation by a doctor.   If the patient has hyperactive bowel sounds followed by a lack of bowel sounds, that could indicate that there has been a rupture or necrosis of the bowel tissue.  If the patient has very high-pitched bowel sounds, this may indicate that there is an obstruction in the patient’s bowels.  Slow bowel sounds may be caused by prescription drugs, spinal anesthesia, infection, trauma, abdominal surgery, or overexpansion of the bowel.  Fast or hyperactive bowel sounds can be caused by Crohn’s disease, a gastrointestinal bleed, food allergies, diarrhea, infection, and ulcerative colitis.
Summary: Place the diaphragm on your patient’s bare stomach. Listen for normal bowel sounds. Listen for abnormal bowel sounds.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After 2 weeks, pick out any seedlings that are growing near the edge of a cell or have grown crooked and sideways. Leave about 5 seedlings in each cell so they will not be overcrowded as they continue to grow. After the seedlings grow 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm), their roots will be too crowded to stay in the cell tray. Pre-moisten the potting soil in a 2 gallons (7.6 L) pot and make an indentation with your finger equal to the size of one of the cells. Squeeze the bottom of the cell tray to push out the root ball of the tobacco and place it in the indent you’ve made.  Separate the cells from the tray by cutting them individually with a pair of scissors. If the tobacco plant starts to droop or wilts to one side, use a wooden barbecue skewer to support it upright. Find a fertilizer at your local gardening store that does not contain chlorine and provides nitrogen to your plant in the form of nitrate. Since tobacco is in the same family as tomatoes and peppers, fertilizers manufactured for their use will work just as well. Follow the directions on the package to determine how much fertilizer to use. Do not apply any fertilizer after flowers begin to form. The more sunlight your plant gets, the larger it will grow. Tobacco plants need full sun throughout the day, so keep them near a large window. If the weather does not drop below freezing, you can also keep them outside during the day and return them inside at night. You can also use grow lights to provide enough light for the plant as well as additional warmth. As tobacco grows, it will require more water. Check the soil daily and keep it moist with a watering can. Don’t allow the water to puddle on the surface. Excessive water will promote diseases like bed rot or mildew to form in the roots. Once a flower forms and blooms, the tobacco will stop growing for the season and reduce your total yield. To keep your plant growing, use a pair of pruning shears to cut off the flowers before they blossom.
Summary:
Pluck out half the sprouts from the cell tray with tweezers. Transplant seedlings into pots when they are 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) tall. Apply a fertilizer with nitrate and no chlorine. Keep tobacco in an area with 6 hours of sunlight. Water the tobacco so the soil is wet, but not drenched. Cut off flowers as they begin to form.
