Summarize the following:
There are factors that predispose you to AF. Knowing these predisposing factors can help you to manage your AF. While some of these risk factors cannot be controlled, knowing what they are can help you to prepare for them, and will help when coming up with a management plan with your doctor. They include:  Increasing age. Stroke and heart attack affect people of all ages, but the risk increases as you get older.  Gender. Men more commonly develop medical conditions caused by AF. Heredity. People whose close blood relations have had a stroke have a higher risk of stroke, heart diseases, and AF. History of heart problems. If you have previously had a stroke or heart attack, your chances of having AF or other heart issues increases. Irregular heart rhythms due to AF can cause pooling of blood in the heart, which can lead to the formation of clots. These clots are at risk of being dislodged and traveling to the brain, where they can block blood flow and cause a stroke. You may also suffer from heart failure due to AF, because it causes the heart to beat irregularly. Over time, the heart muscle can become weak and this can result in poor circulation of blood throughout the body and eventual heart failure. When you have AF, your doctor may choose to routinely monitor your condition through a variety of tests that will provide a clearer picture or you condition.  These tests may include:  ECG, a diagnostic test for atrial fibrillation. Your doctor will be able to visualize irregularities in your heartbeat and interpret new and ongoing issues with your heart. Lab test for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), because elevated levels can cause your heart rate to rise. Lab tests for electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which work for the proper functioning and timing or your heart muscle.  Imbalances can affect your heart negatively. CBC or PT/INR, which check for the quality of your blood composition which affect your heart’s ability to pump blood. Imaging, such as a chest X-ray, if cardiopulmonary disease is suspected.  This can allow the doctor to actually see what is physically wrong or damaged in your heart.

summary: Be aware of the challenges. Understand the side effects. Get diagnostic test.

As chickenpox scars can be difficult to remove, it's best to work on preventing their occurrence to begin with. Using the correct medications for the duration of your symptoms can greatly reduce the risk of scarring. Your general practitioner will likely prescribe anti-itch creams as well as a round of antibiotics. Take all medication as directed. Finish antibiotics even after symptoms lesson. An oatmeal bath can soothe your skin. This can result in less scratching and, therefore, less scaring.  To take an oatmeal bath, place a mugful of uncooked oatmeal into a muslin bag and tie it with a string. Fill a tub with lukewarm water and drop the bag in the bath. Squeeze the bag until a cloudy white substances fill the water. Soak for about 20 minutes. Scratching is a major contributor to the development of chickenpox scars. Young children may have to wear scratch mitts to prevent the temptation to scratch. This means wrapping their hands in oven mitts or other protective coverage to discourage scratching. This is particularly effective if you have a toddler with chickenpox.

summary: Get medication during the duration of the virus. Take oatmeal baths. Use scratch mitts for young children.

If you have a model 20.0, 20.1, 21.0, or 21.1 remote, you'll want to use this method.  If you have a 40.0, 50.0, 52.0, or 54.0 style remote, you'll need to use the previous method instead. You can find your remote's style number in the manual. Go to https://www.mydish.com/support/products/remotes/how-to/program-to-tvother in your computer's web browser. Click the 20.0, 20.1, 21.0, 21.1 heading near the top of the page. It's in the step text of step 2 near the middle of the page. Doing so opens a pop-up window. You'll see this box in the middle of the window. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu. Scroll down until you find the specific model name and number for your remote, then click it. Again, you can find this number in your remote's manual. Click the "Select a Product Type" drop-down box, then click the name of the product for which you want to program your remote (e.g., DVD). Click the "Select a Manufacturer" drop-down box, then click your product's manufacturer name. Depending on the information you entered, you should see at least one three-digit code here. Some products may have 10 or more possible codes. If so, try to use one that has the highest "Success Count" rating (it should be the top code in the list) first. For example, if you want to program the remote to work with your DVD player, make sure the DVD player is on. This button will depend on what you're trying to program the remote for:   TV — Press and hold the TV button at the top of the remote.  Anything else — Press and hold either the AUX button (all products) or the DVD button (DVD players and VCRs). These lights are at the top of the remote. Once you see them flash, you can release the button you're holding and proceed with entering a code. Using the remote's number pad, type in the three-digit code that you found for your product. You may need to enter an additional number depending on the product:  If programming your remote for a VCR or DVD player, enter a 1 before you enter the three-digit code. If programming for any other non-TV product, enter a 2 before you enter the three-digit code. If you held down the AUX button while attempting to connect your remote with your TV, you'll enter a 0 before the three-digit code. Doing so will enter your code. These will appear near the TV, AUX, or DVD button depending on which one you used. If you see three flashes, your remote is now programmed for use with the selected product.  If you don't see the three flashes, you'll have to try using a different three-digit code. If you run out of three-digit codes, try scanning for the code.
