Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See your child’s pediatrician. Understand how your doctor diagnoses FAS. Examine the symptoms with your doctor. Get tests and a diagnosis. Get a CT scan or an MRI. Formulate a treatment plan.

Answer: If you suspect your child has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, it is crucial to see your doctor and get a definitive diagnosis. Early detection and aggressive intervention may reduce the risk of long-term problems for a child with FAS.  Make a list of symptoms you’ve noticed in your child so that your doctor can more easily make a diagnosis.  Let your doctor know if you consumed alcohol during your pregnancy. Be sure to include how much and how often you drank.  Your doctor may be able to assess your risk for FAS if you report the amount and timing of alcohol you consumed.  If you identify symptoms of FAS and do not see a doctor, inaction can have lasting consequences for your child. Your doctor needs a certain amount of expertise to make a definitive diagnosis of FAS in your child. Being open and honest can help your doctor successfully and quickly diagnose FAS in order to help your child as soon as possible.  Your doctor will likely assess certain factors in making a diagnosis including: how often you drank during pregnancy, your child’s physical appearance, your child’s physical and neurological growth and development.  Your doctor may also consider: cognitive abilities and difficulties, health issues, and social and behavioral issues. Your doctor will check for signs of FAS once you’ve described your child’s symptoms. She may be able to diagnose FAS with a simple physical examination in addition to more in-depth tests. Your doctor will examine your child for physical symptoms including wide-set eyes; an extremely thin upper lip; a short, upturned nose; narrow and small eyes; deformed joints and limbs; vision and hearing issues; small head circumference; or heart defects such as a murmur. If your doctor suspects that your has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, she may order tests after conducting the physical exam. These tests can help confirm a diagnosis and help your doctor formulate a comprehensive treatment plan.  Your doctor may order brain imaging studies such as an MRI or CT scan. Blood and urine tests may be ordered to help rule out other diseases that cause similar symptoms. If you are still pregnant, your doctor may order blood tests or a pregnancy ultrasound. Your doctor may want to confirm a diagnosis of FAS with more in depth tests. She may order that your child get an MRI or CT to assess physical and neurological issues.  CT scans and MRIs make images of your child’s brain and can make it easier for your doctor to identify damage to the brain. This can help her better formulate a treatment plan.  Your doctor may order a CT scan, which will require your child to lie still while a technician makes images of her brain. This form of X-ray imaging can help better see the brain and may show growth or developmental issues.   Your doctor may order an MRI, which will also require your child to lie inside of a large scanner for a few minutes. An MRI can make more in-depth pictures of how severe the damage to your child’s brain is. There is unfortunately no cure or specific treatment for FAS. Many symptoms of FAS generally last a lifetime. However, early intervention can help reduce some of the effects of FAS. They may even help prevent some secondary disabilities.  Be aware that early diagnosis and intervention is critical.  Physical and mental deficiencies often last for a child’s lifetime.  Your doctor may prescribe or suggest medications to help with some symptoms such as hyperactivity. She may also recommend medical treatment for health problems including heart or kidney abnormalities.  Your doctor may suggest physical, occupational, and psychological therapy for help walking, talking, and social skills.  Your doctor may suggest placing your child with a special education teacher to help them better function in a school setting.  Your doctor may suggest counseling for the family.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider the health benefits of being single.

Answer: Being single is associated with a decreased risk of adverse health effects from dysfunctional marriages or intimate relationships. Some studies have shown that bad relationships can actually make you physically unhealthy. But singles are more likely to be fit and healthy. Singles also tend to go to the gym more, eat better, and have lower stress levels.  Single people tend to be thinner than people who are in a relationship. One study found that people gain an average of 14 or more pounds after starting a relationship.  Single people also get more, good quality sleep than people who share a bed with a partner.  Single women have better mental health than married women, especially married women who have children.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure your soil pH is between 5.5 and 7.0. Break the ground with a plow or a tiller. Lay rows with a hoe or a plow. Place your seeds in the furrows at the depth they require. Cover the seeds in soil and gently pack down the dirt.

Answer: Test the pH of your soil by using a test probe or paper strips to determine the acidity or alkalinity of your soil. Most food grows at a pH of 5.5 and 7.0. If your soil is below 5.5, add dolomite, a type of crushed mineral, to make it more basic. If it is higher than 7.0, use pine needles or peat moss to make it more acidic.  You can find a test probe or strips at most garden stores. You can buy dolomite at most garden stores. Clear away any large stones, roots and limbs, heavy accumulation of vegetation, and other debris before tilling. Use a rototiller or a plow to disrupt your soil and turn over the top layer. This will make the nutrients in your soil more readily available and allow the top layer of soil to refresh itself. To sustain a 4-person family, use 12,000 square feet (1,100 m2) of land to grow vegetables and grains. Mark out the area you intend to plant. Use a hoe or plow to create a slightly raised bed in the loose soil in a line across the length of the plot. Next, make a shallow groove cut in the soil with your rototiller and a furrow attachment. Do this until your growing area is covered in rows. You can rent rototillers and their attachments at many hardware stores. The depth of planting may vary according to your choice of plants. Check on the back of your seed packet to find out the best depth for your plant. Make a small hole with your fingers and place 2 to 3 seeds in each hole.  Plants like legumes and melons, squash, cucumbers are planted between 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) and 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep, and corn and potatoes may be planted 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) to 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) deep. You can also start seeds indoors and transplant them after they have sprouted. This will prevent the seed bed from drying out in the sun. Use the palm of your hand to press down on top of the seeds you planted. Make sure they are covered all the way so they don’t get eaten by animals. Continue this process until you have the number of rows you planned on planting.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Inspect the wooden chair for loose legs, screw, or nails. Position the chair you are working on upside down. Apply glue to loose joints. Expand the dowels with wood-swelling liquids. Replace the nails or wooden joint plugs.

Answer:
Check how loose the chair legs are, as well as the back of the chair, by pushing and pulling them back and forth to see how much movement they have. There should be virtually no movement. You can either flip the chair upside down on a table or on another chair so that you can more easily access the problem area. This will also prevent any unwanted pressure on the legs or back of the chair when you are working. There are many types of strong wood glue products you can purchase to stabilize loose leg joints. When you locate a loose joint, push wood glue into the joint and let it dry completely before flipping the chair back over. Wipe away any access glue that comes out of the joint with a wet rag. To create a thicker wood glue consistency, try adding wood filler to the glue. A thicker mixture can better help stabilize wobbly chair legs. For very loose legs that seem to need more than glue, remove the chair leg completely, and use a wood-swelling liquid. Sometimes, dowels can shrink, causing chair parts to become loose. When you apply a wood-swelling liquid to the dowel, it will allow the dowel to once again become secure in the chair. If the hardware in the chair seem to be loose or no good anymore, you can replace them with new ones. Even if you don't want to remove the existing hardware, you can add reinforcement with more nails or bracket hinges to make the chair sturdy. When putting in more screws, make sure they are long enough to secure the wood, but not long enough to come through the other side of the wood.
