Injury. Medical care for a child

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Injury, as a rule, is accompanied by the formation of bumps and bruising.

Depending on the strength of the blow and the number of damaged vessels, a bruise may appear. Over time, it changes color, acquiring a yellowish tint. In some cases, a hematoma may form - an accumulation of blood under the skin.

First aid

Keep your child calm.

Apply ice or a cold compress to the injury site for 10-15 minutes. This will lessen the pain.

If the joint is affected, bandage it with a cruciform bandage.

To make the swelling go faster, after a few hours, give the child a warm bath or warm lotions.

Observe the child immediately after the injury. If he quickly calmed down and began to play, then everything is in order with him. If the child is sick, his skin is pale, he does not stop crying - immediately consult a doctor.

When to see a doctor

If the baby after an injury for some time remains to lie motionless.

If some time after the bruise the child is sick, he cries.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Construction of the largest enterprise for the direct removal of carbon dioxide from the air 12.07.2022

The Swiss company Climeworks has begun construction of the world's largest facility to remove carbon dioxide from the air. In September last year, Climeworks in Iceland launched the first Orca (Orca) plant with a capacity of 4 thousand tons of CO2 per year. The new Mammoth plant will be able to annually remove 36 thousand tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and it will start working in 18-24 months.

The company recognizes that millions of tons of carbon dioxide must be removed from the air each year to offset CO2 emissions from human activities. Hundreds of thousands of Kosatka and Mammoth installations will be required to achieve the goal. This is what Climeworks aims to achieve by 2050, expecting a long and difficult road to solving the problem of climate neutrality.

Carbon dioxide extracted from the air is mixed with water and pumped into cavities in the earth - mines and natural reservoirs. This is being done by the contractor represented by CarbFix. It normally takes hundreds or even thousands of years to mineralize (fix) carbon dioxide in natural conditions, but CarbFix has developed technology to speed up the process, which can now be completed within two years.

The Orca and Mammoth units are powered by renewable sources. The killer whale is powered by geothermal sources, and a similar supply of energy to the installations will be implemented at the Mammoth enterprise.

We add that in the United States in May this year, a budget of $ 2 billion was allocated for the creation of national centers for the removal of CO3,5 from the air. It is planned that by the end of this decade, hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere, and by 2050 - millions of tons.
