Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get stitches, or staples, applied to a severe wound by a medical professional. Take proper care of the wounded area. Avoid activities or sports that could hurt the area for at least one to two weeks. Return to your doctor's office once the wound has healed.

Answer: If your cut is deep, wide, or jagged, your doctor may decide that you need stitches (a.k.a. sutures) or staples for it to heal well. When a doctor stitches or staples a cut, he or she will first clean the cut and give you numbing medicine by injecting it around the wound. After the doctor completes the stitches, he or she will dress the cut with a bandage or gauze.  Stitches use a sterile surgical needle and thread to join the edges of a cut together. They can be absorbable, and dissolve over time, or non-absorbable, and will need to be removed after the wound heals. Staples used on cuts are special surgical staples that perform the same task at stitches and must be removed like non-absorbable stitches. It is important to take care of your stitches or staples to make sure the wound heals well and does not get infection. To do this:  Keep your stitches or staples dry and covered with a bandage for several days. The doctor should tell you how long this should be. It is usually one to three days depending on the type of stitches and the size of the wound. Once you can get them wet, gently wash the wound over the stitches or staples with soap and water when you shower. Do not submerge the wound underwater, like in a bath or when swimming. Too much water can slow down healing and result in infection. After washing the area, pat it dry and apply antibiotic ointment. Cover the area with a bandage or gauze unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Your doctor should tell you specifically how long to do this. Stitches can break, causing the wound to open again. Call your doctor if this happens. Call your doctor if you develop signs of infection (e.g. fever, redness, swelling, drainage of pus, or red streaks radiating from the wound). Non-absorbable stitches and staples will usually be removed five to 14 days after they are put in. Once they are out, make sure to protect the scar from the sun using sunscreen or covering it with clothes. Ask your doctor if there are any lotions or creams they can recommend to help your scar heal. Creams with vitamin E or silica in them can often help reduce keloid scars (raised, red marks) that result from major wound healing.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare a separate tank. Consider using MS-222. Do not use alcohol. Use clove oil cautiously. Transfer the fish. Wait until the fish is dead.

Answer: Unless all the fish in a tank need to be euthanized, you'll need a second container. Transfer some of the water from the current tank to a new, clean container, preferably with a similar aeration and temperature control setup. Using water from a different source or at a different temperature can stress the fish, or cause an inhumane death.  Some drugs, including MS-222, may not be effective in temperatures below 10ºC (50ºF). Euthanizing a large tank of fish is difficult, and requires measurements of oxygen and chemical concentration for best dosage calculations. Ask a veterinarian to perform this if at all possible. Also sold as tricaine methanesulfonate, "Finquel," or "Tricaine-S" at pet stores, this is the most reliable option of the widely available drugs. You can find this at pet supply stores. This is the only widely available drug approved by the FDA for this purpose. Use 5–10 times the amount the label recommends for anaesthesia, usually 250 to 500 mg/L. Do not eat fish killed this way. Many people will tell you alcohol is a pain free way to euthanize your fish. This is incorrect. It causes burning in the gills and is very painful for the fish to endure. Using alcohol to euthanize the fish has been described as dipping a person in gasoline to euthanize them. Don’t do it! It's not easy to tell how concentrated a given bottle of clove oil is, or even what exactly it contains. It may put your fish to sleep but fail to kill it. The fish will not be safe for eating, and the water may cause harm if dumped in the water supply. If you decide to use it, try this method:  Shake one drop in water until milky, then add to the tank. When the fish is asleep at the bottom, shake and add another 13 drops per liter of water (50 drops per gallon). Once you've added the chosen drug, net the fish and quickly move it to the euthanasia bath. Handle as little as possible to avoid causing stress. Any euthanizing drug can send the fish to sleep if too little is used. Death often takes 30 minutes to arrive, and you may need to wait 2 hours to be sure. Watch carefully for the following signs of death:  No movement of gill flap for 10 minutes. (Usually following spasms 1 minute apart.) No movement of eye when fish is rocked from side to side. Very slow heart rate. The heart may continue after death, but a strong, persistent beat means the fish is alive. If you do not see these signs within an hour or two, or if the fish wakes up again, add more of the drug. If you want to be certain the fish is dead, kill it with the physical methods below, or freeze it in ice water. These should not cause pain if the fish is deeply anaesthetized.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consume adequate amounts of protein daily. Combine the right types of foods. Eat 100% whole grains. Eat a variety of nuts and legumes. Include plant-based proteins that are complete proteins. Consume a variety of legumes and grains throughout the day. Design a meal plan.

Answer:
In general, women need to consume around 46 g daily and men need to consume around 56 g daily.  Keep track of your protein intake throughout the day. You can use a journal or food tracker app on your phone to see how much more you need to eat as you progress through the day. Some people may need more protein than others. If you're performing moderate to intense exercise for more than 45 minutes daily or trying to lose weight, the total amount of protein you should consume maybe be greater. Combining certain plant-based proteins will give you a complete protein. Aim to consume a variety of whole grains, nuts and legumes – these foods together will provide all the essential amino acids your body needs to make a complete protein.  Combine legumes and whole grains for a complete protein. Examples include: rice and beans, lentils and barley, bulgur with beans or peanut butter on 100% whole wheat bread. Combing legumes with nuts and seeds also provides a complete protein. Whole grains provide an essential component to preparing complete proteins. Include a variety of whole grains each week to ensure you're eating a diverse diet. Eating 100% whole grains increases your chances of getting complete proteins in your diet.  Whole grains are unprocessed and contain all the parts of the grain – the germ, endosperm and bran. They are typically higher in nutrients like fiber and protein compared to processed grains like white flour or white rice.  Examples of whole grains include: oats or oatmeal, 100% whole wheat pasta, bulgur, buckwheat, millet, quinoa or brown rice. Other key food groups that make up complete protein are legumes and nuts. Again, choose a variety to eat each week.  Examples of legumes include: beans, lentils, peanuts and peas. Examples of nuts/seeds includes: walnuts, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, pistachios or pecans. Nuts are also a great source of healthy fats. This is important to consider especially if you're following a vegetarian or vegan diet and have a limited intake of some healthy fats. There are a few plant-based proteins that are already considered a complete protein. Soy, quinoa, hemp seeds or buckwheat are great sources of complete proteins.  Keep cooked quinoa or buckwheat in your refrigerator or freezer for a quick grain side dish or the base of your main dish. Hemp seeds can be added to smoothies, sprinkled on salads or added to your morning yogurt.  They also are a good source of healthy fats. It was once thought that you needed to consume a whole grain and legume at each meal in order to benefit from a complete protein. Studies have now shown that as you long as you consume both foods throughout the day, your body will be able to obtain all the amino acids needed.  Food journals, apps or meal plans can help you see how you can include a variety of plant-based proteins throughout the day. Keep track to make sure you include a wide variety of proteins. Legumes are a cornerstone of a vegetarian or vegan diet due to the lack of animal proteins consumed. A well-thought-out meal plan will help make sure you're eating a healthful, protein rich diet each day. When food choices are limited, you need to take extra care to ensure you are not falling short. This is especially useful if you're busy and don't have time to consider each protein source you consume each day.  Take an hour or two during your free time and develop a weekly meal plan. Make sure you account for complete proteins and include a wide variety of plant-based proteins each day. Write up the corresponding grocery list to your meal plan so you have a list ready-to-go and you buy only what you need in the store.
