Problem: Article: To treat severe cases of dengue fever at a hospital, doctors will begin by introducing intravenous (IV) fluids and electrolytes (salts) into the patient's body. This treatment works to replace the fluids lost through vomiting or diarrhea. This step will only be taken if the patient is not able to take fluids orally (e.g., because of severe vomiting) or is in shock.  Intravenous means "within a vein." In other words, liquid substances will be infused directly into one of the patient's veins via a syringe or intravenous catheter.  The recommended first-line IV fluid is crystalloids (0.9% saline).  Doctors will monitor the patient's fluid intake through IV due to newer guidelines recommending a more cautious intake of IV fluids than in the past. This is because overhydration can cause adverse effects, including intravascular fluid overload, or a flooding of the capillaries. For this reason, in most cases, doctors will administer fluid in increments, rather than a constant flow. In more advanced and severe cases cases of dengue, doctors may have to perform a transfusion to replace lost blood. This is often the required treatment for patients whose dengue has escalated to DHF. A transfusion can entail transfer of fresh blood into the patient's system or just platelets, which are parts of the blood that help the blood clot and are smaller than red or white blood cells. Corticosteroids are man-made drugs that closely resemble cortisol, a hormone produced naturally by your adrenal glands. These drugs work by decreasing inflammation and reducing the activity of the immune system. The effects of corticosteroids on dengue infection are still undergoing medical trials and are as yet inconclusive.
Summary: Deliver intravenous fluids. Do a blood transfusion. Administer corticosteroid injections.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your boots aren’t especially dirty, you can usually clean them easily with a damp cloth. To prevent dirtiness from building up on your boots and causing longer cleaning times, do this after each time you use your boots.  To increase the dirt fighting potential of your damp cloth, mix 1 tsp (5 ml) of dish soap with a ¼ gallon (1 L) of water. Douse your rag in this, and wipe down the boots. Wipe your boots from the top to the bottom. This way, you’re less likely to cause dirt and grime to drip onto already cleaned parts of the boots. Air drying is the best way to dry rubber boots. Wipe away the moisture from cleaning them as best you can with a clean, dry rag. Then insert wads of newspaper into each boot. Wait a few hours, then remove the wet newspaper from the boots. If the boots are still wet, repeat this process. Newspaper will not only absorb moisture in your boots, it will also help them keep their shape. If you need your boots for another excursion shortly after you’ve cleaned them, wipe away the water as best you can with a dry rag. Then aim a hair dryer set to “low” at the inside of each boot until they are dry.

SUMMARY: Wipe away light dirt and grime. Air dry your boots. Dry your boots quickly with a hair dryer, if necessary.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Aim to have at least 25 to 35 grams (0.88 to 1.23 oz) of fiber a day to keep your glycemic index down, as this can then prevent a rise in your blood sugar levels. Have a fist-sized portion of high-fiber foods at each meal.  Try high-fiber foods like whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Add fruits that are high in fiber, like raspberries, pears, apples, bananas, and strawberries to your diet. Vegetables like artichokes, split peas, broccoli, potatoes, turnips, and Brussels sprouts are also high in fiber. Beans like lentils, lima beans, and black beans, as well as nuts, like almonds, pistachios, and pecans,  are also good sources of fiber. Foods made of processed grains can cause a rapid increase in your blood sugar and insulin levels, making your type 2 diabetes worse. Stay away from white bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes.  You should also avoid foods high in processed sugars, such as cakes, candy, and baked goods. Do not consume soda, energy drinks, or bottled juice, as they can be high in sugar. You can find the list of foods on the Glycemic Index here: http://documents.hants.gov.uk/hms/HealthyEatingontheRun-LowGlycemicIndexFoodList.pdf. Although there's conflicting evidence, beef, pork, and chicken may cause your blood sugar to spike. Try to have less meat in your meals or skip meat altogether for 1-2 of your meals each day. Replace meat with foods that are high in fiber and healthy fats.  You can also try having soy products like tofu instead of meat in your meals. Consider switching to lean meat or mostly high-fiber plant-based diet over time. Start gradually by replacing meat in some of your meals with vegetables, plant-based protein, or grains. Over time, you can try reducing your meat consumption to a few times a week or to just once a week.  A plant-based diet is also a good way to monitor your weight and stay healthy so your diabetes does not get worse. If you do go with a plant-based diet, you'll need to keep track of your B-12 and fat intake to avoid a deficiency. If you are not sure how to best adjust your diet to treat type 2 diabetes, ask your doctor to refer you to a registered dietitian. They can then create a custom diet for you based on your eating habits and preferences. They can also recommend certain meals so you get enough fiber, carbohydrates, and protein in your diet. Many registered dietitians are trained in treating diabetes through diet. They should be able to provide you with lots of resources and support. Keep in mind you cannot treat diabetes with diet changes alone. You'll also need to make lifestyle changes, like exercising more, as well.
Summary:
Have high-fiber foods in every meal to lower your glycemic index. Avoid refined carbohydrates and foods high in sugar. Eat fewer animal products because they can spike your blood sugar. Speak to a registered dietitian about a diabetes-friendly diet.
