In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are a couple of options for where to measure a dog's blood pressure. No location is necessarily better than any other; it's largely a matter of what the dog will allow and what is easiest for you to stabilize.  The cuff of an automatic device is usually administered around one of the dog's limbs or around the base of the tail. If using a limb, it's best to measure on the dog's right side at either the forearm (antebrachium ) of the front limb or the outside of the hind leg. Before you perform the test, you'll need to make sure the blood pressure cuff fits your dog correctly. A cuff that is too large often produces falsely low blood pressure readings, while a cuff that's too small will yield a falsely high reading.  The ideal size for a blood pressure cuff is approximately 40 percent of the dog's appendage circumference. When you lay the cuff flat against the leg or tail, the edges should be between 25% and 50% of the appendage's circumference. Once you've determined that the cuff is the correct size for your dog, you can attach the cuff and proceed in taking a measurement. The cuff should be snug and secure without being too tight. It should be just snug enough that you cannot insert a finger between the cuff and the dog's appendage. Once the cuff is in place, the rest of the test is very similar to that of a human blood pressure measurement. You'll simply activate the automatic device, allow the cuff to inflate, then take the reading that the device gives you. The cuff presses against the dog's artery while inflated, and the pressure inside the cuff gets above the dog's systolic pressure. As the cuff deflates, the machine measures both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.  Hold the cuff (attached to the dog's appendage) at chest level on the dog, which should be approximately the height of the dog's heart.  The normal systolic blood pressure range is between 110 and 160 mm of mercury (Hg). Normal diastolic blood pressure lies between 60 and 90 mm Hg.  A dog has high blood pressure if its systolic blood pressure is consistently above 180 mm Hg.
Summary: Choose a measurement location. Check the size of the cuff. Attach the cuff. Inflate the cuff, then take a reading.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The most important thing is to make sure that you have tomatoes handy. You need to use fresh tomatoes, not canned. Fresh tomatoes will not have added preservatives or seasonings, so they will be most effective for your skin.  Use full size tomatoes, not cherry or grape. These will be easier to handle and will give you more material to work with. Choose tomatoes that have a vibrant color and are firm. Make sure they smell sweet. If you wouldn't eat that tomato, don't use it on your skin. Why should you use a tomato? Because they are filled with vitamins and antioxidants that are great for your skin! One of the main benefits is that tomatoes are packed with lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene increases your skin's protection factor, increases collagen production, and helps your skin cells regenerate. Tomatoes can reduce redness caused by acne and can also help to try out problem areas, reducing blemishes. The simplest way to get skin benefits from a tomato is to just apply it directly to your face. Cut the tomato in half, and rub the cut side onto your problem area(s). After the juice is on your face, use your fingertips to gently massage the liquid into your skin for a few seconds. Then rinse your face with warm water.  Make sure to do this over the sink, as it may be a bit messy. Have some towels nearby in case you drip. Repeat once daily, and you should see results within one week. If your acne is worse than a mild case, you will want to try this method. Mash a whole tomato--you can use regular kitchen utensils to do this in a bowl. Use the pulp (inside part) of the tomato as a facial mask. Spread it on your face and leave it there for one hour. Rinse your face and then apply a gentle moisturizer.  Do this 3-4 times a week. You will begin to see your acne lighten within a matter of weeks. You can also create a mask using a combination of tomato and avocado. Mash a tomato and an avocado together to combine, and then apply to your skin. Leave in place for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This will help reduce oil in your skin. Tomatoes can be combined with other common household ingredients to give you additional benefits. For example, you can combine tomato juice with honey to make a thick paste. Simply squeeze a tomato to get fresh juice and then combine with a small amount of honey.  Apply this combination to your skin and leave in place for 15 minutes. When you rinse it off, you will see that your skin has an extra glow. Another method is to combine a tomato with yogurt. Crush half a tomato and mix the pulp with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. Apply to your skin for 20 minutes, then rinse. This will help with inflammation.
Summary: Gather your supplies. Know the effects. Use the whole tomato. Make a mask. Create a paste.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’ve bitten your tongue, rinse it off with cold water. This can remove any dirt, food, blood, or debris from the area and help prevent an infection.  If you have bitten all the way through your tongue, make sure to get to your doctor as soon as possible.  Once you’ve rinsed the tongue with cold water, you can try sucking on some ice to help with swelling and pain. Suck on an ice cube or ice pop if you have pain and/or burning sensation on your tongue. The cold will help to numb any feelings of pain, reduce swelling, and make your tongue feel more comfortable.  Sucking on an ice cube can be especially soothing if you’ve bitten or burned your tongue.  The melting liquid will also help you stay hydrated and prevent your tongue from drying out, which can make pain from a bitten or burnt tongue worse. A warm rinse with salt water will clean your tongue and may help relieve the pain of a sore tongue. You can rinse every couple of hours until your pain and discomfort ease. Add one tablespoon of salt to a glass of warm water and stir to dissolve. Swish a mouthful around 30 seconds, concentrating on the sore area of the tongue. Spit out the water when you're done. When suffering from a sore tongue, it's a good idea to avoid consuming anything that may make the pain worse, such as spicy or acidic foods or tobacco. Although this won't speed up the healing process, it will likely make you more comfortable.  Eat soft, soothing and even cooling foods that won't aggravate your tongue as you eat, such as smoothies, porridge and soft fruits like bananas. Yogurt and ice cream are also good options because they are cooling and soothing. Acidic foods and beverages, such as tomatoes, orange juice, soft drinks, and coffee can make your pain worse. Also avoid cinnamon and mint, which can increase your discomfort. Try toothpaste that is formulated for sensitive teeth or something without mint or cinnamon. Don’t smoke cigarettes or chew tobacco, which can exacerbate your discomfort. Make sure that you’re staying hydrated throughout the day. Not only will this help ease the feeling of a dry mouth, but it also can help speed the healing process.  Drink plenty of cool water or juices to keep your mouth moist. Try to avoid hot beverages like coffee or tea so that they don’t worsen the burning or painful sensations on your tongue. Avoid caffeine or alcohol, which can irritate your tongue.
Summary:
Rinse a bitten tongue with cold water. Suck on an ice cube or ice pop. Use a salt water mouth rinse. Avoid consuming anything that could aggravate a sore tongue. Drink more fluids.
