It is a matter of concern to hypertensive patients that how to measure the blood pressure with blood pressure monitor accurately. I often hear people discuss that blood pressure monitor is not accurate, each time the data is not the same; there are a lot of blood pressure monitora brands, how to choose one?

• Blood pressure has become the health treatment for the family, what effect it is in the family medical care?

There are 3 forms of electronic blood pressure monitors, firstly,an arm-style one, and secondly, the wrist-style one and thirdly a finger-style one.

These three forms of blood pressure monitors all apply to healthy people. But particularly, the wrist-style and finger-style electronic blood pressure monitor do not apply to patients suffering from blood circulation disorder. Like diabetes, thrombophilia and high blood pressure, these diseases should accelerate arteriosclerosis, and cause block of blood on the end of vessels. There must be a big difference between measurement of blood pressure taken on the waist or finger and arm. Suggested that these patients and the elderly should be selected arm electronic blood pressure monitor to use. In addition, field measurements should be take before buying, in order to choose their own electronic blood pressure monitor.

• Is electronic blood pressure monitor exact?

Electronic blood pressure monitor blood pressure measurement is accurate or not, is a focus for patients with hypertension. We should say those electronic blood pressure monitors sold on the market are mainly good and can precisely meter blood pressure. Nevertheless, the electronic blood pressure monitors with different types and brands are suitable for different blood pressure measuring range and patients. For instance, some electronic blood pressure monitor measure the systolic pressure with the upper limit of 200mm of mercury (26.7 KPa) and diastolic pressure with that of 150mm of mercury (20.0). While the upper limit of some other electronic blood pressure monitor is larger than that above. Then intelligent electronic blood pressure monitors apply more patients than non-intelligent electronic blood pressure monitors. It’s relative whether it is accurate to measure the blood pressure by the electronic blood pressure monitor. Beyond the using scope of electronic blood pressure monitor, the measurement figure may not accurate or allowed. What’s worth noticing is that at present some hospitals are using or are ready to use the electronic blood pressure monitor as the measurement appliance for clinical diagnosis of high blood pressure. We must be careful. That is to say, some electronic blood pressure monitors can not be applied clinically.

• As consumers, how to judge the electronic blood pressure monitor well or not?

Here is a simple method the judge if the electronic blood pressure monitor is accurate or not, which is called alternating method. The method is as following: To measure the blood pressure with the mercury sphygmomanometer by the doctors for the first time; 3 minutes later, to measure it with the electronic blood pressure monitor for the second time; then 3 minutes later, to measure it with the mercury sphygmomanometer by the doctors for the third time. Take the average figure of the first time and the third as the doctor’s, then compare it with the electronic blood pressure monitor, the difference value generally should be less than 0 mm Hg (1.33 kPa). If the electronic blood pressure monitor could satisfy the above condition, you can use it safely.

Pigs are hit by regular outbreaks, but with low mortality, one to four percent generally. Humans rarely infected with the virus, but it also found some cases of human infection with swine influenza, most of them have had direct contact with diseased pigs. The symptoms of A/H1N1 flu are similar to ordinary flu but with different severity.

Faced with the outbreak of H1N1, we should prevent as early as possible because H1N1 can be transmitted among people and people can be infected before the symptoms occur.
• Heath experts remind that it is difficult to stop the influenza from spreading when it exposed. But common sense can help us protect ourselves. In the process of preventing H1N1, the baby’s cognitive ability, self-care ability and body resistance are relatively weak, especially need adult’s care.
• Influenza virus spreads mainly through air and contact. Children should avoid making contact with patients who have symptoms of flu, for example, fever, cough and running nose and so on, and who have diseases of respiratory tract, like pneumonia. Parents should not take children to the crowed places without flowing air as far as possible. If you really need to take your babies to these places, you had better to help them wear gauze masks.
• Avoild physical contact, including shaking hands, kissing and eating meals together. This could effectively prevent infection of H1N1 pathogenic. You should pay attention to your children’s personal hygiene, especially their hands, because most children are quite active which makes their hands most easily contact bacteria.

Besides paying attention to the cleanness of daily food, you also notice the nutrition children take in for the reason that lacking nutrition will decrease children’s immunity.

In daily life, if you frequently eat the food which has rich essential substances in melanin metabolism, or supplement continuously the food can enhance tyrosinase activity in food, your skin color is often more dark. On the contrary, if you are in the regular intake of the food could break melanin metabolic process; your skin is often white.

Whitening skin is not the unnatural bleaching, its purpose is to avoid skin producing spots positively to make the skin healthy and distribute the natural cleaning charm. Therefore, in addition to the sunscreen in the sun, you need to do the whitening all the year round to withstand ultraviolet radiation. Here we offer several whitening tips.

1. If it is not necessary, you should avoid going out at the time from 10 am to 2 pm, because at this time the sun’s ultraviolet rays are strongest, which will cause the most severe damage to the skin.

2. When you are in the exposure to sunlight each time, it is timely to use sunscreen products, and smear again every 2 to 3 hours. Moreover, even in the water you will still suffer damage, so for those who prefer playing in the water or diving, they need to use a high SPF waterproof sunscreen cream.

3. As long as engaged in outdoor activities, no matter to what extent the sunlight is strong, first, you should clean the body when come back home, wipe the body with slight movements to relax yourself, use the warm water to clean the foam, then go on a cold water shower and smear some care products on the body.

4. Use the watermelon rind to ice red skin exposure to the sun. Natural Watermelon rind contains rich vitamin C, which can calm and moist skin; natural aloe also has the same effect, remove the aloe vera juice and deposit it in the skin, there will be an anti-inflammatory effect and cool refreshing function to improve the phenomenon of skin redness.

5. Relieve physical and mental tension. The pressure of living will bring skin discomfort, under the stress for a long term the skin is in need of special care. At night, listening to pleasant music, doing the whitening maintenance and purification of the mind in the natural music can relieve physical and mental fatigue.

6. Do not eat the food with artificial food additive. Healthy person’s organs would maintain normal metabolism to discharge the melanin smoothly. The too much artificial food additives can cause burden on internal organs, resulting in pigmentation, forming dark spots, freckles and so on.

7. Not all the extents of skin resistance are the same. White skin is usually more easily to be burned by sun than dark skin. You should select the appropriate SPF of the sunscreen based on your own skin condition.

8. The long-term UV exposure will lead to cataracts or chronic ophthalmia, or even damage the cornea. Protection method is to wear UV filters. There are transparent or dark-colored filter lenses. Eye sunscreen and cosmetics are also can prevent the eyes from the damage from the sun.

When people feel fatigue, a typical performance is muscle soreness, while taking a bath is indeed a simple and effective way to recover from fatigue. Once hospital professor once pointed out that there are three taboos about winter bathing:

First, the water temperature should not be too heated.

Appropriate water temperature( close to body temperature, namely, 37-41 ℃) can accelerate the body metabolism, while on the contrary, if the temperature is too high, it will cause weariness due to large consumption of energy. Meanwhile, the hot water will wash out the secreted grease and the protective bacteria normally parasitized on the skin surface, hurting their cuticle and causing itching, dryness and other symptoms.

Second, the bathing time should not be too long.

According to a report, tap water is usually disinfected with chlorine; and researches have shown that prolonged bathing with chlorine water will irritate the airways, causing various diseases. In addition, if people take a long-term bath, then the blood supply to head will relatively decrease, which can easily lead to cerebral ischemia and arouse accidents, especially the elderly. Besides, it’s easy to cause cardiac ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in coronary artery spasm, thrombosis, and even inducing serious arrhythmia and sudden death.

The right time should be 20-minute bath, 10-15 minutes’ shower.

Third, room temperature must not be too high. Many people are afraid of catching a cold in winter, so they always adjust the bathroom at a very high temperature. On the contrary, it will result in a large difference between inside and outside the room, which is easier to get cold instead.

In addition, after eating too full or on an empty stomach, people are not suitable to take a bath; otherwise, it will bring on hypoglycemia or even faintness. And immediately washing after a meal will cause muscle blood vessels to expand, but the gastrointestinal blood to decrease.

In view of the above, people can drink a cup of hot water before bathing, so as to supplement systemic blood volume, and have another cup of warm water after finishing bathing, in order to complement water; meanwhile, people had better choose a neutral soap or shower gel, so as to avoid the dryness of skin owing to the excessive removal of sebum.

With regard to some special groups, experts suggest that pregnant women should take shower; and the elderly and children’s resistance is relatively bad, so their bathing frequency should be appropriately reduced. What’s more, people suffering from severe coronary diseases and high blood pressure should take drugs to prevent accidents before taking a bath; as for children, parents need to stay around to take care of them while bathing.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca: this eye disease mainly happens at the time of climacteric. At the beginning, there is a feeling of having foreign objects in the eyes. It is very itchy, dry, and even eye burning. At the same time, the secretion of tears decreases. It will have a certain degree of visual rise and fall and fear of light. Owing to the reduction in secretion of tears, sometimes it will develop the keratitis in the form of curls.

Scleritis: this eye disease often happens at the deep bottom of sclera. It could bring about the syndrome of cornea and uveal organization. The pre-scleritis is supposed to happen on young women, which reflects both sides with great pains. In acute period, it will bring about temporary myopia. This may be caused by the swollen ciliary which makes the crystal and iris move ahead. The process of this eye disease could continue several weeks, months, and years. It depends.

Progressive sclerokeratitis: this eye disease could also be called sclerosing keratitis and it is often noticed among old women who often let their eyes tired. This eye disease may happen repeatedly and then spread to the whole cornea.

Peforating Scleromalacia: this eye disease is a rare kind of special scleritis. It is mainly found on women at the age of more 50. The pathological changes generally happen at the both sides of the eyes, but the serious degrees of the two eyes are not consistent. The process of this eye disease is very slow, but sometimes it appears to be acute—the sight is lost in several weeks. Its main features are the slow process, easiness of repeating, and toughness to cure totally.

Narrow-angle glaucoma: this eye disease as a typical common type of glaucoma often happens to women who are more than 40 years old. It is also noticed at both sides, but it reflects one side by another. The intermittence of both eyes could be as long as more 10 years. Since there will be an obvious phenomena of congestion in the front of eyes during the period of disease, this eye disease could also be called congestive glaucoma. The iris blocks the angle and the route of discharging aqueous humor, so it is called narrow-angle glaucoma. The anterior chamber of women is much shallower than that of men, and women are much easier to get excited than men as well; therefore, the rate to have this eye disease is 2 to 4 times higher than men.

The epiderm of skin is a most active part, especially the stratum basale which lies at the bottom of epiderm. This is the area where cell division occurs and melanin in the skin is produced by melanocyte.Under the deep skin these issues require for large quantity of energy to run the work and it is the oxygen that changes the nutrition into energy.
