INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is easier, safer, and overall a better idea. You should ideally not have a soaking bath until the piercing is through the initial healing stages, and oozing, bleeding and scabbing have all stopped. Just be careful to avoid hitting or damaging your piercing area.  Don't pull at or scrub the area.  Ideally both. The purpose of this is to rinse out any bacteria or soap that might have snuck in there.

SUMMARY: Take a shower instead, if you can. Shower as normal. When you're done, pat the area dry very lightly with a clean, soft towel. Rinse the wound out with sea salt water (one pinch in an eggcup of boiled and cooled water is about right) or tea tree oil. Clean your piercing thoroughly before you sleep that night using normal procedure.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Body casts can be difficult to deal with and keep clean, especially when going to the bathroom. You want to make sure that if you or your child has a body cast, you do not get urine on the cast.  Find a way to prevent splashing urine onto the cast, such as toilet paper in the bedpan. Make sure no urine rolls along the skin into the cast. Wipe away the urine immediately. You may want to use something to help with the smell of the cast or to help keep it clean. However, don’t do this. This can lead to more grime and problems, especially inside the cast. Keep those types of things away from the cast. For example, don’t place lotions, powder, or deodorants on, inside, or near the cast. Though taking care of a fiberglass or plaster cast is similar, there are important distinctions between the two. Make sure you know what kind of cast you have and the type of liner you have so you can care for your cast properly.  Fiberglass casts can hold up better if they happen to get wet. However, you should not submerge them in water, go swimming with them, or take a shower with them if you have a normal liner. The liner can get wet and irritate or cause sores on your skin inside the cast. Some fiberglass casts come with waterproof liners. If you have a waterproof liner, you may be able to submerge it in water, but only with your doctor's approval. For example, you may be able to go swimming or take a bath with it. Plaster casts cannot get wet. Water can damage the cast and cause problems. It may even possibly cause the cast to dissolve and fall apart. You should take care to always keep your plaster cast dry. If you get the cast completely wet somehow, you may need to see a doctor. Sometimes, a wet cast will completely dry, but often, a wet cast won’t dry completely, and it will cause sore spots on your skin inside the cast.  You should call the doctor if you notice:  Pain and tightness in the injured limb Numbness or tingling in the injured hand or foot Burning or stinging under the cast Injured fingers or toes of injured limb becoming cold or blue Inability to move fingers or toes of injured limb Swelling below the cast Red or raw skin around the cast Fever of 101F (38C) or higher    If the cast gotten wet but has not dried after 24 hours, call the doctor.  Most casts will start to smell a little after you wear them for awhile. However, any foul or extremely bad odors are an indication of a problem. You should go see a doctor if the smell is bad because this might mean you have an infection.

SUMMARY: Use care with body casts when going to the bathroom. Avoid using deodorizers. Determine the type of cast you have. Know when to see the doctor.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your email should have a subject line that lets the professor know what to expect before they even open the email. Use a clear subject line, such as "Inquiry About Graduate Program" or "Questions From Potential Graduate Student." You can also include the specific research area you want to work in in the subject line. For instance, you could write "Inquiry into Graduate Work on Classical Music Theory." It is important to be formal when emailing a professor that you want to work with. Since you haven't met yet and you are hoping for a future relationship with this person, this is your chance to make a good first impression. Remember to use complete sentences and proper grammar. Also avoid using slang or informal language.  Begin your email with a formal salutation, such as "Dear Professor Smith." Conclude your email with a formal closing, such as "Sincerely" followed by your full name. The professor doesn't need to know all of the details of your life and every one of your qualifications for acceptance into grad school in this first email. However, you should tell them enough so that they know you are a viable candidate. This information usually includes a sentence or 2 about your background and undergraduate education, including the school you went to and the year you graduated.  You may also want to include a sentence about any special programs or academic projects you have completed. You want to strike a balance between letting the professor know what a motivated and good student you are and giving so many details that the professor loses interest. In general, hold back the minute details of your previous academic work on the first email and include them in later correspondence. When contacting a professor you need to tell them why you are interested in working with them and why their program is a good fit for you. If you have done your research on the graduate program in general and you have researched the professor's work, you can easily combine aspects of both of these things into a statement about why you are interested. This is a section that you can use to give the professor a few details about your interests. Tell them what you want to study and why you became interested in that subject. You can even include the name of a previous professor that you worked with studying this subject, especially if that professor will be writing you a letter of recommendation. In order to get a reply from the professor, you should ask specific questions that you would like answered. This ensures that the professor can easily draft a response letter to you and that your email is just the beginning of correspondence with the professor.  Do not ask questions that you can find the answers to online. This will be viewed as a waste of the professor's time. Some questions you can ask a potential professor include "Are you accepting new graduate students at this time?" and "Would you be willing to discuss the program with me either in person or over the phone?"

SUMMARY:
Write a clear, concise subject line. Use a professional structure. Begin by describing yourself and your qualifications for admission briefly. Show sincere interest in their program in the body of the email. Ask questions at the end of the email.
