Common Workplace Injuries and How to Prevent Them

Image
World First Aid Day is marked annually on the second Saturday in September; this year, September 10 occurs on that date. The goal of World First Aid Day is to "highlight the value of first aid procedures in ensuring safety and improving the quality of care." First aid is a "humanitarian deed" that should be available to everyone, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), which established the day in 2000. The IFRC also exhorts individuals to acquire fundamental first aid knowledge since volunteers and communities that practice first aid can save lives "without discrimination." The National Safety Council estimates that an employee experiences an occupational injury every seven seconds. Workplace accidents have an impact on the person as well as their coworkers and company. However, there are measures that businesses can take to help prevent these most frequent workplace accidents. Overexertion Even the most p

Geriatric Healthcare by 2025

Image
The need for geriatric healthcare is rising as a result of aging populations in both developing and developed countries. By 2025, one billion more people are anticipated to live, with 300 million of them being 65 years of age or older. The financial and caregiver resources required to care for the frail will peak and start to diminish with population rises. A significant issue will be the aging population. In general, in 2025, many more individuals will be completely aware of their health hazards, and they will approach prevention and treatment in a proactive rather than a reactive manner. They will adopt preventative practices based on highly individualized insights because of the awareness of their own specific risks of getting a chronic disease. Many people will place a lot of emphasis on maintaining their physical and mental health, which will include engaging in specialized amounts of activity and diet, in order to age properly. A change in emphasis toward preventative interventio

Small bite, big threat - World Mosquito Day

If mosquitoes are the source of malaria transmission, you might be wondering why we celebrate World Mosquito Day. Well, bringing attention to this in order to safeguard and ensure the safety of more people is what this day is all about. It's also crucial to comprehend that every animal and life form, whether friendly or not, adds value to the cycle of life. Correlation Between Mosquitoes and Malaria Mosquitoes transmit the pathogens which contribute to the malarial condition. Although malaria is treatable and avoidable, millions of individuals still face a threat to their lives on a global scale. It's wise to note that not every mosquito may spread malaria to people; only infected female anopheles can do so. Perhaps you're curious about how a mosquito transmits malaria. Simply taking a bite will do. When a malaria-carrying mosquito bites you, the parasite is discharged into your bloodstream and has the potential to infect every cell in your body. In general, mosquitoes do n

Dietary Tips for Geriatric Caretakers to combat the Hepatitis Virus

A new wave of inexplicable acute hepatitis infections in seniors is currently sweeping the globe. This recent outbreak draws attention to the countless cases of acute viral hepatitis that affect every age group each year. According to the World Health Organization, recently cirrhosis and liver cancer account for nearly 1 million annual deaths. Most mild cases of acute hepatitis infection result in no symptoms at all or can go unnoticed. But in other circumstances, they can result in complications and even be fatal. Worldwide, acute hepatitis infections are thought to have contributed to 78,000 fatalities in 2019 alone. On World Hepatitis Day 2022, WHO will emphasize the need to bring hepatitis care closer to primary healthcare facilities and organizations in order to increase access to care for people with hepatitis, regardless of the type of hepatitis they may have. An inflammatory disorder of the liver can have other probable origins besides viral infections, which are often food-bor

Benefits of Rehabilitation in Stroke Depression

Image
If you or a loved one has ever had a stroke, you are mindful of what a life-changing event it can be. You might be wondering what life will be like now that you're home from the hospital, even though the first few days after your stroke will be geared to getting up and walking so you can be discharged from the hospital. Each post-stroke is encountered by depression but it may differ in its symptoms and length. After a stroke, the majority of the symptoms manifest three to six months later. Although it can start a month after a stroke and last for years, it can also start right away. This disparity in onset times may be caused by two things: changes in mood and personality that develop over time, as well as physiological changes that take place in the brain after a stroke. For stroke survivors, the risk of depression is a regular occurrence. It frequently results from metabolic alterations in the brain. Positive feelings might not be experienced by the sufferer of a brain injury. D
