Penyakit Akibat Sengatan Ubur-Ubur

Sengatan ubur-ubur adalah gangguan umum untuk perenang dan penyelam. Dengan tentakel yang berisi ribuan sengatan berduri kecil, ubur-ubur yang ditemukan di semua samudra dunia berpotensi menyerang manusia. Sengatan ubur-ubur berkisar dari ringan sampai parah. Beberapa ubur-ubur yang sangat beracun dan bahkan sengatan kecil dapat menyebabkan sakit parah dan iritasi, sedangkan ubur-ubur lainnya tidak berbahaya bagi manusia. Kebanyakan sengatan ubur-ubur dapat dirawat dengan pertolongan pertama, tapi beberapa jenis sengatan ubur-ubur dapat lebih parah dan memerlukan perawatan medis. Dalam kasus yang jarang, sengatan ubur-ubur yang luas atau dari spesies tertentu ubur-ubur dapat mengancam jiwa.

Sengatan ubur-ubur dapat menyebabkan:
* Sensasi terbakar
* Menyakitkan tanda atau garis merah yang berkembang setelah beberapa menit sampai beberapa jam
* Gatal
* Kesemutan dan mati rasa
* Lepuh
* Cekot yang dapat memancarkan sebuah kaki atau lengan ke dada

Iritasi ringan hingga sedang dii kulit biasanya membaik dalam waktu satu hingga dua minggu. Dalam beberapa kasus, tanda-tanda pada kulit mungkin makan waktu satu sampai dua bulan.

Sengatan ubur-ubur yang parah dapat mempengaruhi seluruh tubuh (reaksi sistemik). Tanda dan gejala sengatan ubur-ubur yang parah dapat termasuk:
* Mual
* Muntah
* Sakit kepala
* Kejang otot

Perawatan
Kebanyakan sengatan ubur-ubur bisa diobati dengan pengobatan ringan. Langkah-langkahnya meliputi:

Cuci dari daerah sengatan segera dengan air laut untuk menghilangkan sisa tentakel. Pastikan untuk menggunakan air laut; menggunakan air tawar dapat menyebabkan sengatan makin menjadi. Kemudian, bilas daerah sengatan dengan cuka untuk menetralkan sengatan di kulit.
* Menghilangkan sengatan yang tersisa.
Hapus sisa sengatan dengan menggunakan krim cukur atau pasta dari air laut dan baking soda atau air laut dan bedak ke daerah sengatan.

Dampak Pubertas dan Menstruasi pada Kesehatan Gigi

Dampak Pubertas dan Menstruasi pada Kesehatan Gigi

Peningkatan produksi hormon seks pada saat pubertas umumnya akan menyisakan keadaan yang konstan bagi kehidupan reproduksi seorang perempuan. Masa pubertas pada perempuan ditandai dengan dimulainya siklus menstruasi. Peningkatan hormon seks memicu pelebaran pembuluh darah kecil pada gusi. Pelebaran darah tersebut dapat dilihat dengan adanya gusi yang memerah, perdarahan pada radang gusi, dan bengkak.

Mikroba pada fase di atas berubaha dari flora mikroba yang “menyehatkan” menjadi mikroba yang bersifat destruktif atau bersifat pathogen. Perubahan ini mengakibatkan peningkatan kadar hormon dalam darah dimana bakteri patogen dapat menggunakannya untuk terus tumbuh dan bertambah banyak (berproliferasi). Keberadaan plak dan karang pada gigi juga akan semakin memperburuk kondisi di atas.

Hal ini semakin menguatkan akan pentingnya penanaman kebiasaan kesehatan gigi di usia dini, serta melakukan pemeriksaan dan pembersihan gigi secara rutin. Kecenderungan kasus peradangan dan gigi yang bengkak dihubungkan pada masa pubertas dan akan semakin menurun ketika sudah usia lanjut.

Namun demikian, perempuan mengalami peradangan menjelang datangnya masa menstruasi. Munculnya gusi merah, bengkak, perih pada gusi.dan luka pada mulut menjadi tanda yang biasa. Tanda-tanda peradangan akan menghilang seiring dengan datangnya periode menstruasi. Oleh karena itu, higienitas mulut yang tidak adekuat dapat meningkatkan keparahan gangguan mulut yang menyebabkan rasa tak nyaman

Description: Power like a big V6, fuel economy like a modest four-cylinder unit – Audi presents the A8 hybrid as a technology concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Its two propulsion units – a 2.0 TFSI and an electric motor – develop a total output of 180 kW (245 hp) of system power and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the Audi A8 hybrid to accelerate in 7.6 seconds from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) and to achieve a top speed of 235 km/h (146.02 mph). Yet its average fuel consumption amounts to only 6.2 liters (37.94 US mpg) per 100 km – the CO2 equivalent is 144 grams per km (231.75 g/mile). (Source: Audi)

Description: Rinspeed combines Cars, Trains and the Web in a New Mobility Concept - "UC?" - Clever High-Tech Bubble with Electric Drive Filled with emotions and new ideas - that is the signature feature of the concept cars from Swiss car visionary Frank M. Rinderknecht that have added colorful bright spots to the Geneva Motor Show for many years. Rinspeed boss Rinderknecht always has a surprise up his sleeve and this year is no different. Once again he does what nobody would have expected from the whiz kid known in the past for his affinity for powerful machines: He's building a subcompact car. But that's not all: For the first time in the long history of its concept cars the Swiss automobile and concept powerhouse has developed not just a vehicle but an entire mobility concept. The cute two-seater with electric drive is aptly called the "UC?" which stands for "Urban Commuter." But the biggest surprise is that the "UC?" was designed to be ready for future series production. The little speedster measures less than 2.60 meters in length and is intended to help avoid gridlock in the inner cities. At the same time an advanced railcar loading system will add the option to cover long distances by train, comfortable, without traffic jams and stress-free. The goal is to create a new mobility concept that integrates individual car ownership and public transportation. A transverse loading system using custom railcars allows loading and unloading of numerous "UC?" vehicles simultaneously and in a very short time. Train passages are booked and reserved online directly from the vehicle. Harman International provides the permanent 3G internet connection as well as marvelous sound on wheels. VoIP2Car technology provides IP telephone service, video chat, video conferences, e-mail and many more features in the "UC?". Integrated charging stations on board the custom railcars ensure that upon arrival at the destination the "UC?" battery is once again fully charged for maximum operating range. During the train trip drivers can visit the train restaurant, use any of the other train amenities or spend time in the privacy of their cars. With this mobility concept Rinspeed elegantly circumvents the obstacle of limited operating range that so far has kept many interested parties from switching to zero-emission vehicles. As Frank M. Rinderknecht sees it: "I can make more efficient use of my time than spending it driving on a boring highway. I'd rather visit the train restaurant or retreat to work in my car." The Swiss visionary is already in discussions with international railroad companies about his new mobility concept. (Source: Rinspeed)
