Hemoptysis, or pulmonary hemorrhage. Health care

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

In patients with tuberculosis and some other lung diseases, as well as heart defects, sputum with streaks of blood may be separated (hemoptysis), there is a coughing up of blood in a significant amount or profuse (pulmonary) bleeding. Blood in the mouth can be from the gums or mucous membranes, as well as vomiting due to gastric bleeding. Pulmonary bleeding is usually not life threatening, but makes a painful impression on the patient and others.

It is necessary to reassure the patient, pointing out the absence of danger to life. Then you should put him in bed with a raised upper body. To facilitate breathing, unfasten or remove squeezing clothing, open the window. The patient is forbidden to speak and drink hot, they advise, if possible, not to cough, they give medicines from the home medicine cabinet that soothe the cough. An ice pack should be placed on the patient's chest, heating pads or mustard plasters should be placed at the feet. When thirsty, you should give small sips of cold water or a concentrated solution of table salt (1 tablespoon of salt per 1 glass of water).

A doctor is called for first aid. Only a doctor, having determined the severity of bleeding and the nature of the disease, can dictate further actions.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Spinach against terrorism 10.11.2016

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have presented an unusual development that serves to detect explosive chemicals that can be used by terrorists. They created a detector based on ordinary spinach by embedding carbon nanotubes and sensors into the plant.

The sensors used in this case are configured to respond to so-called nitroaromatic compounds. The nanoparticle solution was delivered to the underside of the spinach leaves, in a layer called the mesophyll, where most of the photosynthesis takes place, using a plant-vessel infusion technique. Also, carbon nanotubes are embedded in the leaves of the plant, which emit a constant fluorescent signal that serves as a reference.

If any dangerous compound is found in groundwater, literally after 10 minutes it reaches the leaves, and the signal given changes. It can be detected using a small infrared camera connected to a Raspberry Pi. In addition, as the developers say, it will be possible to see it using the camera of a regular smartphone by turning off the infrared filter, which is active by default. At the moment, the signal can be detected at a distance of one meter, but scientists are working to increase it.

“Plants are very sensitive to the environment. For example, they know that there will be a drought long before we know it. They are able to detect small changes in soil properties and its water potential. If we use these chemical signaling pathways, we can get a huge amount of information," said study leader Michael Strano.
