Soak the wound in a saline solution (if advised). Use drinking-quality water to clean the wound. Apply an antibiotic ointment. Avoid using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Replace the dressing to encourage healing. Follow all of your doctor's instructions.

Answer: The most important part of caring for a wound is following your doctor’s instructions. If you have not yet seen a doctor for a wound, then do so as soon as possible. Your doctor may advise you to:  Keep your wound clean and dry. Cover your wound when you bathe or shower to avoid getting it wet. Clean your wound with soap and water or with a special wound cleaner. Replace your bandages regularly and when they become dirty or wet. Use an antimicrobial hand soap and warm water, and wash your hands for 15 to 30 seconds. Always wash your hands before and after cleaning the wound. Avoid touching the wound unless you’re cleaning it, and never scratch it if it’s itchy. If your doctor has advised you to soak your wound in a saline solution a certain number of times each day, then make sure that you do so. If not, then do not do this. Remove its dressing and soak a healing or closed infected wound in a container of warm saline solution for 20 minutes. If it’s not easy to soak the wound in a bowl, cover the wound with a clean cloth soaked in saline solution for 20 minutes. You can create your own saline solution by mixing two teaspoons of salt with one quart (about a liter) of warm water. If you wouldn’t drink the water you’re using to clean the wound, you shouldn’t use it. You can use distilled or filtered water, and heat it with salt on the stove. You can also just boil tap water and let it cool until it’s safe to use. Dab an antibacterial cream onto a cotton swab, taking care not to let the tip of the nozzle touch the swab. Use enough cream to apply a thin coating over the entire wound. Use a fresh swab if you need to squirt more ointment from the bottle. Use an over the counter cream if you haven’t been prescribed one from your doctor. You can also ask your pharmacist to recommend an over the counter antibiotic ointment. When it comes to treating wounds and skin infections, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide actually do more harm than good. Both interfere with the processes of healing and fighting infection. They dry your skin and kill white blood cells, which your body uses to kill the germs that cause infection. After cleaning the wound and applying ointment, use a clean cloth to dry the area around the wound so you can affix the dressing. Covering the wound will encourage healing and prevent the infection from spreading. Avoid using a dressing that sticks to wound. Go for a sterile bandage instead of gauze. If your wound is infected, then you need to be under the care of a doctor. If you visited your doctor or another medical professional when you were injured or to treat an infection, be sure to follow all of their instructions. Apply prescribed topical antibiotic cream or take oral antibiotics as they've instructed.  Take any other medications, such as pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs, as directed. If you received stitches, don't get them wet for 24 hours unless directed by your doctor.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take CoQ10 supplements. Ask about diuretics. Consider beta-blockers. Try ACE inhibitors. Learn about angiotensin II receptor blockers. Inquire about calcium channel blockers. Find out about alpha blockers. Ask about alpha-2 receptor agonists. Take a combined alpha-beta-blocker. Learn about central agonists. Find out about peripheral adrenergic inhibitors. Take a blood vessel dilator or vasodilator.

Answer: Coenzyme Q10 is a natural supplement and antioxidant that has the ability to reduce blood pressure by 17 mmHg (systolic) over 10 mmHg (diastolic) when taken regularly. The supplement dilates your blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. Ask your doctor about the supplement. He or she make recommend that you take a 60 to 100 mg CoQ10 supplement up to three times daily. Diuretics flush excess sodium and water out of the body. Since sodium is a known culprit of high blood pressure, the removal of excess sodium can cause a significant drop in blood pressure. Beta-blockers cause the heart rate to drop. As a result, the heart pumps out less blood, thereby lowering your blood pressure. ACE stands for "Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme." This enzyme causes your body to produce angiotensin, a chemical responsible for constricting the arteries throughout the body. An ACE inhibitor causes your blood vessels to open, making it easier for blood to flow through them and causing your blood pressure to drop. This medication directly blocks the effect of angiotensin, which is responsible for causing the arteries to constrict. Angiotensin needs to join with a receptor in order to affect the blood vessel. These medications block the receptors, thereby preventing the chemical from having an impact. Calcium channel blockers work by blocking calcium from entering the heart and arteries.  Calcium causes smooth muscle cells in these areas to become hard, which means that the heart must use more force to pump blood through the arteries. This medication relaxes narrow blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Alpha blockers reduce resistance in the arteries. As a result, vascular muscles relax, making it easier for blood to flow through. This medication reduces the function of the sympathetic part of the involuntary nervous system. This means that less adrenaline is produced. Adrenaline, along with other stress hormones, can cause blood vessels to constrict. These are a first-line of defense for patients facing crucially high blood pressure and drop blood pressure quicker than most other medications. This medication reduces the resistance put up by your arteries and cause your heart rate to drop. These medications prevent your blood vessels from contracting quite as easily, thereby making it easier for your blood to flow through them. Note that the effect is similar to that accomplished by alpha-beta-blockers. The brain is the primary target of this group of medications. Neurotransmitters responsible for telling the smooth muscles of your heart and blood vessels are blocked when taking these medications, so the message telling those blood vessels to constrict never reaches its destination. These medications only cause the blood vessel muscles to relax. As a result, they dilate, allowing blood to flow through with less pressure.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get in a standard pushup position

Answer:
. Make sure your back is straight and your feet are shoulder length apart. Complete knuckle pushups on a soft surface like carpet, a workout mat, or even grass. Over time, once these surfaces feel comfortable and are not challenging anymore, you can do knuckle pushups on a hard floor or concrete.
