Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try using a burdock poultice. Try peppermint or eucalyptus oil. Drink marjoram tea. Find a certified acupuncturist.

Answer: Burdock is anecdotally reported to help some people with muscle tension, as well as headaches, and some people use it to treat TMD. To make a poultice, start with powdered burdock, available at some health stores. Make a thick paste by adding water. Apply it near the back of the jaw (on the outside) or where you are feeling pain.   You can also make a wrap. Get a sheet of kitchen towel and put the paste on it.  Fold the kitchen towel lengthwise so that it will only cover from your forehead to your temple. Make sure that the paste is in contact with those areas. Wrap the towel around your head, and let it stay there for about 5 hours. There is no medical evidence to suggest that burdock is effective for treating any medical condition. Pick high quality essential oils. Apply a couple of drops to your temples. Some people have had luck with this process relieving headache pain. One study suggested that these oils, in combination with ethanol alcohol, can relax muscles, although it did not find much influence on pain. To apply peppermint or eucalyptus oil, use a tincture of 10% essential oil to 90% ethanol alcohol. Rub the mixture lightly on your forehead. People claim it has anti-inflammatory properties that can help with headaches. To prepare, boil a cup of water and teaspoon of dried marjoram to a pan. Let it simmer for 15 minutes before straining the tea out. You can add honey to sweeten it, if you prefer. Drink the tea to provide relief. Acupuncturist have been known to help some people with this condition. Acupuncturists use small needles inserted into parts of your body to help with certain disorders. The procedure generally is not painful because the needles are so small. When looking for an acupuncturist, make sure she's certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start working early. Go through the rules for the report. Decide what kind of a book you want.

Answer: Starting the night before the book report is due is way too late. Starting a few days before might also be too late unless you're an extremely fast reader. Give yourself time to read the book and understand it fully, then write your report. This might take a week or more to complete. This means you need to start looking for your book as soon as you can. Finding a book can take time, so don't rush it. You might find the perfect book, but it's checked out and has to be returned to the library. The amount of time you need for your book report will depend a lot on your personal pacing, the length of the book you choose, and your personal writing strategy. However, getting a head start never hurts. You need to follow any of the guidelines your teacher gave you for the report. Underline the parts that relate to choosing a book. What do you need to know? Some important information might be:  Whether there is a minimum number of pages you need to read Whether the book should be fiction (made up) or non-fiction (true) Whether the book needs to be a specific genre, such as drama, science fiction, etc. Whether a graphic novel is an appropriate choice What kinds of information your teacher wants you to get out of the book There are millions of books out there, and between your school library and the public library, you have access to thousands. Within the parameters your teacher has set (number of pages, fiction or non-fiction), figure out what kind of book you would most like to read. It's important to choose something you want to read so that the assignment goes as smoothly as possible. Some possible questions you might ask yourself as you are choosing a book for a report are:  Can you make the writing process easier by picking a book that ties into the work you're currently doing in class? Do you want something with a historical background, or something that takes place now? Is there a particular topic that interests you that might be a good choice – animals, skateboarding, or music, for example? Do you like funny books or serious books? Do you like books about real people, or would you rather read fantasy or science fiction?


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand cells. Develop a concept for your model. Think about the materials you would use. Be creative.

Answer: You must understand the primary organelles (cell components, essentially the organs of the cell), their relation to one another, and the differences between plant and animal cells if you are going to construct an accurate 3D model.  You must know the different organelles if you are going to model them. Vitally, you must understand their shape. The colors usually given to the different cell components in textbooks are used for contrast and usually bear no resemblance to reality, so in that instance you can be creative. But you must develop the correct shapes in order to model them. It is also important to know how the various cell structures relate to one another. For example, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is always located close to the nucleus because it processes the proteins that are used in DNA replication. Consider where you will place your organelle as you are creating your model.  Know the differences between plant and animal cells. Most importantly, plant cells have an exterior cell wall made of cellulose, contain very large vacuoles (a membrane-bound collection of water and enzymes), and possess chloroplasts (the portions of the plant cell that convert sunlight into usable energy). Centrosomes are only present in animal cells. Similarly, animal cells always have cilia, while plant cells often don't. Animal cells are typically round and irregular, while plant cells are rectangular and fixed in shape. Will your model be a transparent representation, with the cell components suspended in a see-through material? Will it instead be a cutaway model, giving the appearance of a cell that has been cut in half but containing organelles that provide a three-dimensional appearance? Instructions on how to construct two alternative styles of model appear later in this article, but will be summarized here:  The first option is a fully three-dimensional representation of a cell, with all of the organelles suspended in clear gelatin. The second option involves using craft materials to construct a cut-away model that shows a cell with a section removed to facilitate viewing. The materials will obviously vary depending on the type of model you have decided to construct.  It is easiest to use items that already have the general shape of the object you are modeling--say, something roughly circular for a cell nucleus. Of course, many of the organelles are shaped so strangely that it may be impossible to find something that already has the same appearance. In this case you should think of materials that are flexible and can be fitted to whatever appearance you need. Will your 3D model be edible? What types of colors will you use for each organelle? Never lose sight of the vital elements that must be represented in this project, but the form of your model does not always have to limit its style and creativity.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use caution when eating. Switch to electric appliances instead of manual ones when you can. Wear an eyepatch to relieve eye strain. Keep your home environment safe. Do stress-relieving activities. Plan out your daily activities to minimize stress and strain. Reach out to your support network.

Answer:
Myasthenia gravis can make eating difficult. Try to eat at times when your muscles are relatively strong, and take frequent breaks as you eat. Avoid foods that are difficult to chew, and stick to softer foods instead. Some people find it helpful to eat several small meals during the day instead of a few larger meals. Repetitive manual tasks can drain your energy quickly. Look for appliances and devices that can make these tasks easier. For example, you might switch from a regular toothbrush to an electric toothbrush, or use an electric mixer instead of a spoon or whisk when cooking. An eyepatch can help reduce symptoms such as double vision and minimize strain during activities that require a lot of visual focus. Try wearing an eyepatch during activities such as reading, writing, using your computer, or watching television. Occasionally switch your eyepatch to the other eye to avoid straining one eye from overuse. Myasthenia gravis might make you more prone to falls and other accidents in the home. Ask a family member, friend, or home healthcare professional to help you install railings and grab bars in high-risk areas, such as next to steps or in the bathroom. You can also make your home safer by:  Removing loose area rugs, clutter, and other tripping hazards. Keeping paths, sidewalks, and driveways on your property clear of leaves, snow, ice, and debris. Putting down non-slip mats or anti-slip tape on slippery floors in your home. Stress can worsen the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Taking even a few minutes every day to relax and unwind may help you feel a little better. Try a few simple stress-relieving exercises or activities, such as:  Mindful meditiation Abdominal breathing Taking a warm bath or shower Listening to calming music Reading a favorite book, or listening to an audiobook As much as you can, plan to get major chores and activities done at times when you have the most energy. Strategize ways to make regular tasks easier and more efficient, so that you don’t have to expend as much energy moving around or gathering materials. For example, if you need to go to the grocery store, plan out your trip in advance. Write out a shopping list, taking into account where things are in the store so that you don’t need to keep walking back and forth. Coping with myasthenia gravis can be exhausting, and you shouldn’t have to deal with it alone. Ask family members, friends, or neighbors to help you with tasks that may be difficult for you, such as running errands or taking care of chores around the home. If you don’t have a good support network, ask your healthcare provider to recommend a support group in your area.
