Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Let your doctor know all vitamins, supplements, and medications you are currently on when you are taking any blood thinner. Take coumarin-based medications. Recognize warfarin side effects. Consider alternatives to warfarin that require avoiding bleeding or hemorrhaging accidents.

Answer: Seemingly harmless over the counter medications, supplements and vitamins can affect the blood thinners such as warfarin/coumadin as well as other drugs. If you have suffered from any condition or ailment that requires a blood thinner, your doctor will likely prescribe you an anticoagulant, which are medications that target clotting factors. Your doctor may prescribe you a coumarin-based medication, such as coumadin or warfarin. These work to reduce the formation of vitamin K dependent clotting factors in the blood. It is generally taken by mouth once a day, at the same time every day, with or without food. General side effects include gas, abdominal pain, and some hair loss. If you are on warfarin therapy, you need to be monitored very closely because warfarin is known to cause internal bleeding. You will need weekly blood tests and your dosages will be adjusted based on your results.  Keep your diet consistent when taking warfarin because increased levels of vitamin K can affect your warfarin therapy, make the drug less effective and not able to prevent clots.-- Warfarin also has many drug interactions so tell you doctor every kind of medication or supplement you take. When on warfarin, avoid eating large or varying amounts of green vegetables, vitamin K rich foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, spinach, green beans, green tea, liver, and some cheeses. Talk to your healthcare professional about keeping your diet consistent in amount and steadiness with warfarin. Your doctor may prescribe you such oral anticoagulants that are gaining popularity. The advantage with these is that you do not need weekly monitoring and vitamin K intake does not affect their effectiveness. But also vitamin K nor any other product can stop bleeding with the new kinds of blood thinners. If bleeding does occur, unlike warfarin, there is no simple way to reverse bleeding or hemorrhaging. Cauterizing for sealing injuries, and icing for several days that contracts the blood vessels of the injury.  Your doctor may prescribe Pradaxa, which is usually taken by mouth, with or without food, twice a day.  Major side effects of Pradaxa include gastrointestinal symptoms such as upset stomach and nausea. Other serious side effects may include hemorrhage, or allergic reaction.  Or, you may be prescribed Xarelto. Depending on your particular circumstance, you may be instructed to take this once or twice a day by mouth with food. Side effects of Xarelto include allergic reaction to the medication, bleeding or throwing up blood, dizziness, burning, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, confusion, and headache.  Your doctor may instead prescribe Eliquis, which is usually taken twice a day by mouth, with or without food. Caution should be taken if you notice an allergic reaction, signs of bleeding, dizziness, confusion, headache, joint pain or swelling, chest pain, or wheezing.  Another kind of medication is Plavix (clopidogrel) an anti-platelet prescription. It makes blood less sticky and lowers the amount of the "sticky" coagulant platelets (which dangerously would stick together to cause clotting and can also cause blockages in blood vessels). There are some common side effects of Plavix: head pain, muscle and joint pain. You may experience some less frequent side effects of Plavix including danger of bleeding, hemorrhage, nosebleeds, etc.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your weapon. Check to make sure you have enough liquid to do the job (with overkill). Approach the fly. Spray the fly. Get a paper towel, or, better yet, a couple of index cards and lift the body from its resting place, the pool of death. Put the dead body outside or in the garbage. Wash your hands.

Answer: Get a bottle of Formula 409®, Febreze®, Windex®, or any noxious spray that will not damage the items in your house.  Note: Febreze® might provide the added benefit of acting as a fly deterrent.—No self-respecting fly will inhabit an area that smells fresh and clean, so it will vamoose out of there as quick as can be. You may need five or six on-target squirts to accomplish the job, maybe even as many as twenty if you are a gung-ho, Rambo-style fly fighter. Make sure the bottle has enough spray to completely asphyxiate the fly or, failing that, drown the unfortunate victim. Don't approach it from the front or from the side. Instead, creep up from behind. (Make sure to wear your "sneakers." - They are quietly stealthy and will zip you out of there should your victim turn on you.) Keep spraying until you're sure the fly is completely dead. Remember: the deathly chemicals will need to be cleaned up as well. You can give it a proper burial, but it would be inappropriate to "fly" a flag at half mast (unless you were creating a YouTube video and were really into hyperbole). Washing your hands is important after killing a fly because flies carry disease and germs. (That is about all they can carry.) You did know that flies are aerodynamically amazing, right? But, you have never heard tale of a fly being able to carry fifteen or twenty times its weight, have you? Nope, but they do carry germs.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hair with your regular shampoo and conditioner. Towel blot strands. Apply mousse or styling cream (hair gel may work,not recommended) . Use a combination for better results. Don't air-dry your hair, and don't brush it out while blow-drying it. Use a skinny iron. Avoid over-heting your tresses. Use the curling iron right. Get the desired look with practice. Use hairspray as needed.

Answer:
But washing your hair twice may dry it out! Do everything normal for washing, only wash twice if said by stylist. Do not rub wet hair which is more fragile and can break. Detangle strands from the ends to the roots. Apply from ears to the very ends. Distribute well. If your hair is fine or thin, apply a volumizing gel or similar products to the roots to get lots of body and movement. Scrunch it in; don't run it through or brush it. If your hair tends to frizz or is naturally wavy or curly, you may wish to combine a volume product for the roots with a smoothing serum for the rest of the hair. Get a blow-dryer and dry your hair. When your hair is dry, get a skinny curling iron and let it warm until hot. Before curling, let your hair cool from blow-drying for 5-8 minutes. Spray with hair-spray. When your curling iron is hot, starting with the top layer of hair, take a small section of your hair. Sometimes when you're done drying without a brush you can see or pull out small sections that have separated themselves. It's better to use those if you can locate them, disturbing the natural separation of your hair will sometimes cause a frizzy look or fly-aways. Do not run the curling iron from the scalp to the ends, instead place it on the end of the section, hold it away from your head vertically and then spin it in so that your hair wraps around it with a spiral effect. You may need to adjust how long you hold the iron in the hair depending on the temperature of the iron and your hair. When the desired curl is achieved, release the iron and move to the next section, moving from the top layer down through the bottom. The bottom layers should require less of the section to be curled. This should also help you maintain the appearance of your length. If you would like to have your hair look thicker you can curl your section closer or farther from the scalp to adjust that. Repeat this all over your head until the desired look is achieved. It may take some practice to get the idea so you may want to play, or practice making the curls. When you have the desired curls, spray it again with the hairspray. Don't hesitate to spray too while you are working if you have hard to curl hair. If you end up with a few corners, or bends, just soften then with a light spin of the iron on the desired spot.
