Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't panic. Don't confuse a clot with food. Stick to soft foods. Avoid sources of contamination. Know when to seek professional help.

Answer: Food that gets caught in a wisdom teeth wound may be uncomfortable, but it alone should not cause an infection. Healing can still take place even if food gets caught, and it's more important to avoid touching or probing the wound. Clots in the gums may appear gray and fibrous, like food particles. Cleaning too vigorously in this case may remove the clot and cause further complications. This is especially important during the first 24 hours after surgery. Gradually move from soft foods to semi-soft foods as your wound heals. It's generally best to avoid hard, chewy, crunchy, and spicy foods, as these are most prone to pooling in the socket and causing irritation or infection.  Chew on the opposite side or your mouth from the extraction site. Avoid eating foods that are too hot or cold foods. Go for room temperature foods during the first two days. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Don't shake hands with people for a week or so. Don't share toothbrushes or other implements with others. You want to make sure that you don't pick up a secondary infection that could tax your immune system. Some bleeding will be common over the first few days following a tooth extraction. If you experience any of the following symptoms, however, you should contact your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.  Excessive bleeding (more than a slow ooze) Pus in the wound Difficulty swallowing/breathing Fever Swelling that increases after two or three days Blood or pus in nasal mucus Throbbing, dull pain after the first 48 hours Bad breath after three days Pain that is not reduced after taking painkillers


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Adjust the parallax if need be.

Answer: Some high end scopes allow you to adjust a third variable in the scope: the parallax.  Parallax is the movement of the target as it relates to the reticle in your field of vision when you move your eye away from the center of the eye piece.  An issue with your parallax may cause the target and the reticle to appear to be on different optical planes.  For many years, nearly all scopes came with an established and non-adjustable parallax because it is uncommon to need to adjust it and fairly difficult to understand.  Under most circumstances, you will not need to adjust the parallax.  To adjust the parallax (if you have the necessary knob) try the following:  Look at the target through your scope and ensure the reticle is completely visible and clear. Move your head up, down and to either side as you adjust the parallax knob slightly. Continue to adjust the knob until the reticle no longer seems to move in relation to the target.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Alert your teachers beforehand. Map out a plan. Decide where you will go when panic strikes. Have medication available, if necessary.

Answer: In order to minimize any disruption during a class, tell your teachers that you have anxiety and tend to have panic attacks. Explain that some days you may need to go to the nurse or school counselor, or may need to get out of the room for a few minutes. Most teachers will quickly agree with doing anything they can to help you cope with a panic attack that occurs during the school day. However, it may be necessary to have your parents meet with or call the teacher to discuss this issue or bring in a signed note from your doctor. Once you give your teachers the heads up that you may experience a panic attack in their class, come up with a way to excuse yourself for a time-out without being disruptive. This allows you to leave the environment so you can practice calming techniques, but it also allows the teachers to continue working with the other students.  Talk it over with each teacher to see what's the most appropriate way for excusing yourself. You might simply make eye contact with the teacher and point towards the door. You may ask "Sir, please can I go to the bathroom ?". Work with your teachers, school administrators, and school counselors to determine the best course of action. You may be able to take a seat near the door to avoid disrupting the class when you have to leave to deal with panic. How you cope with panic attacks during school will depend on the resources available to you. For example, you may be able to take a time-out in the school nurse or counselor’s office. Since many teens deal with anxiety and panic, these professionals will know what to do to help you  calm down. If it is not possible for you to visit the school nurse or counselor, you might discuss with your teachers or principal whether you can go into a restroom or walk outside for some fresh air for a few minutes. If you find that many of your school classes and activities are constantly being missed or interrupted due to panic, you may require medications. With severe or seemingly uncontrollable instances of panic it may be helpful to take medications before or during the school day to reduce symptoms.  Discuss the possibility of medications with your doctor to see if this is a good choice for you. Medications used for panic attacks include antidepressants, which must be taken for longer periods in order to experience any benefits, and benzodiazepines (or anti-anxiety meds), which can be taken during a panic attack to alleviate symptoms within 30 minutes to an hour.  Remember, medications alone will not get to the root of panic disorder. Most doctors advise a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes for best results. Also, keep in mind, that benzodiazepines can be highly addictive and they may affect your ability to drive safely, so use these meds with extreme caution.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a hair relaxing treatment. Try a keratin treatment. Consider Japanese hair straightening.

Answer:
Hair relaxers work by treating your hair with an alkaline agent that breaks down the hair follicle to straighten it. This treatment is effective and permanent. The downside is that it can also be pricey, and the chemicals can cause long-term damage to your hair and even your skin.  Do research to make sure you go to a good salon to get your hair relaxed. Strong chemicals in the wrong hands can wreak havoc on your hair. Don't get a straightening treatment done on freshly washed hair. Go several days without washing first so your hair has some natural protection from the chemicals. You can also get a texturizing treatment, which is similar to a relaxing treatment but with less severe chemicals and a softer, wavier effect. Keratin treatments last about 6 weeks, after which they wash out. They leave the hair looking straight and sleek, but some treatments contain formaldehyde. If you're worried about using chemicals on your hair and skin, skip this one. In recent years this technique has become more popular. It's a sulfer-based treatment that is said to be less harsh on the hair, with permanent effects. If you're interested in this treatment, be sure to go to an experienced beautician.
