Bandage on the chest

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Overlay spiral bandage (Fig. 64, a): cut off a piece of bandage 1,5 m long and throw it in the middle over the shoulder girdle. A spiral bandage is applied to the chest over the hanging bandage - from bottom to top, to the armpits. The loosely hanging ends of the tie bandage are lifted up and tied over the other shoulder girdle. The bandage fixes the spiral bandage well, making it immobile.

Bandage on the chest

Rice. 64. Bandages on the chest: a - spiral bandage; b - Deso bandage; the numbers indicate the order of applying bandage tours

Bandage Deso (Fig. 64, b). It is used in first aid in cases of fracture of the shoulder, collarbone, and also after reduction of dislocation in the shoulder joint. Before applying the bandage, the arm is bent at a right angle in the elbow joint, a cotton roll is placed in the armpit. With several circular rounds, the shoulder is fixed to the chest. The direction of the tours is from the healthy half along the anterior surface of the chest to the bandaged shoulder. The next tour of the bandage is led through the armpit of the healthy side along the anterior surface of the chest through the shoulder girdle of the diseased side, from behind the bandage is lowered steeply down under the forearm and, covering the forearm from below, is carried into the armpit of the healthy side. Behind the bandage is carried out across the patient's shoulder girdle, thrown over it and lowered steeply down in front of the shoulder under the elbow and further along the back obliquely upward; through the armpit it is brought to the anterior surface of the chest. In the future, oblique tours (2nd, 3rd, 4th) are repeated several times, until the shoulder girdle is completely fixed.

It should be noted that in the Dezo bandage, the tours of the bandage are never thrown over a healthy shoulder girdle, and the oblique tours of the bandage on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the chest form regular triangles.

Bandages are easily applied to the chest using mesh-tubular bandages. Due to their elastic qualities, tubular bandages hold the dressing material well and do not impede breathing.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The Benefits of Vibrations 20.03.2017

Scientists from Augusta University, USA conducted an analysis of the results of using a less common type of body exercise - "vibration of the whole body" (BVT). It turned out that in mice, bones and muscles react in much the same way as regular exercise. This observation can be useful to quite a few who cannot go to the gym.

Such vibration looks like this: a person sits, stands or lies on a machine with a vibrating platform, and when it vibrates, it transfers energy to the body, so that the muscles contract and relax several times per second.

The researchers took two groups of male mice, five weeks old. They put normal mice in one group, and genetically modified mice in the other so as not to respond to the hormone leptin (which contributes to the feeling of fullness after eating). Mice from both groups were subjected to different exercises.

After a week had passed, as the mice became accustomed to the equipment, both groups began a 12-week exercise program. Mice in the IWT group "worked out" for 20 minutes a day, vibrating at a frequency of 32 Hz, with an acceleration of 0.5g. In another group, the mice walked on a slightly incline treadmill for 45 minutes a day. Finally, mice in the control group were not exercised at all. all mice were weighed monthly.

Mice genetically destined to be obese received similar metabolic benefits from the treadmill and IWT, and gained less weight than mice not exercising at all, although they remained heavier than normal and exercised mice. In addition, both types of exercise increased muscle mass and insulin sensitivity in genetically engineered mice.

All this together leads to the conclusion that therapy with IWT can be very useful for people with morbid obesity. And in general, many find it difficult, for various reasons, to exercise regularly, which only contributes to the spread of obesity and diabetes, which, in turn, weaken the bones.
