is no wind. Symptoms include restlessness; headache and dizziness, flushed, hot, dry skin; fast, strong pulse; and a temperature of 40 ℃ or more. The child may also lose consciousness rapidly. Lay the child down in the coolest place possible and take off the clothes. Cold them down with cold or tepid water. Fan the body by hand or with an electric fan. Continue to fan and sponge until temperature falls to 38℃ (101ºF). Cover with a dry sheet and get medical help urgently.

HYPOTHERMIA

Hypothermia results when the body temperature drops below 35℃ (95ºF). Small babies are particularly at risk from hypothermia. It can also be caused by lengthy immersion in cold water or by not being dressed warmly enough in cold weather. Other symptoms include cold, pale, dry skin; shivering; clumsy movements and slurred speech; gradual unconsciousness.

 It is best to rewarm someone with hypothermia at the speed at which they cooled down, that is you should quickly rewarm a child rescued after falling in the water and gradually rewarm a baby who has become chilled overnight.

Replace any wet clothing with dry andput the child in a previously warmed bed. Place a covered hot water bottle in the child’s left armpit or over the breastbone. Do not put hot water bottles on other parts of the body. Give them hot drinks and high energy food like chocolate. Get medical attention urgently.

DISLOCATION

A dislocation occurs when a bone slips out of a joint. For example, the top of your arm bone fits into a joint at your shoulder. When it slips or pops out of that joint, you have a dislocated shoulder. You can dislocate almost any joint in your body, including your knee, hip, ankle, or shoulder.

Since a dislocation means your bone is no longer where it should be, you should treat it as an emergency and seek medical attention as soon as possible. An untreated dislocation could cause damage to your ligaments, nerves, or blood vessels.

A joint may be dislocated, if it is

Swollen Bruised or red Painful Difficult to move Out of place

CAUSES OF DISLOCATION

Dislocations typically result when a joint experiences an unexpected or unbalanced impact. This might happen if you fall or experience a harsh hit to the affected area. After a joint dislocates, it’s more likely to dislocate again in the future.

SYMPTOMS OF DISLOCATION

Some of the other symptoms associated with dislocated joints include:

loss of motion pain during movement numbness around the area tingling feeling

FIRST AID FOR DISLOCATION

Leave the joint alone . attempting to move or jamb a dislocated bone back in can damage blood vessels, muscles, ligaments and nerves. Apply an ice pack. Ice can ease swelling and pain in and around the joint. Use ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain

FRACTURE

 

A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or ontogenesis, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture.

A bone may be broken inside the skin (simple fracture) or the broken bone may break through the skin (compound fracture). A compound fracture is more dangerous because there is danger of infection through the wound.

Symptoms

All symptoms are not present in all bone fractures. However, some of the symptoms are:

Pain and tenderness at the point of fracture. Inability to move or use the injured part normally. Swelling at the point of fracture. Irregular shape at the broken point. This symptom will not appear when there is only a crack in the bone. Tenderness There may be signs of shock also.

Improper handling of a simple fracture may result in the puncture of a blood vessel or a compound fracture.

 

TYPES OF FRACTURE

There is a range of fracture types, including:

Avulsion fracture - a muscle or ligament pulls on the bone, fracturing it. Comminute fracture - the bone is shattered into many pieces. Compression (crush) fracture - generally occurs in the spongy bone in the spine. For example, the front portion of a vertebra in the spine may collapse due to osteoporosis. Fracture dislocation - a joint becomes dislocated, and one of the bones of the joint has a fracture. Hairline fracture - a partial fracture of the bone. Sometimes this type of fracture is harder to detect with routine x-rays. Impacted fracture - when the bone is fractured, one fragment of bone goes into another. Intra articular fracture - where the break extends into the surface of a joint Longitudinal fracture - the break is along the length of the bone. Oblique fracture - a fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. Spiral fracture - a fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. Stress fracture - more common among athletes. A bone breaks because of repeated stresses and strains. Transverse fracture - a straight break right across a bone.

TREATMENT FOR FRACTURE

Stop any bleeding (apply pressure or medicine): Apply pressure on the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean cloth or a clean piece of clothing. Immobilise the injured area: Don’t try to realign the bone or push a bone that is sticking out back in. If you have been trained in how to splint and professional help isn’t readily available, apply a splint to the area above and below the fracture sites. Padding the splints can help reduce discomfort. Apply ice pack to limit swelling and relieve pain: Don’t apply ice directly to the skin. Wrap the ice in a towel, piece of cloth or some other material. Keep the fractured part above the body level. Treat for shock: If the person feels faint or is breathing in short, rapid breath, lay the person down with the head slightly lower than the trunk, and, if possible, elevate the legs.

Simple Fracture Treatment

Get a doctor or other professionally trained person Prevent further damage. Do not move the injured part Apply a splint to the injured part. If you are in doubt about the part being broken, splint the part before moving the patient. Look after the patient. Keep them warm or apply some shade if the sun is very hot, give a drink of hot tea, keep them lying down. Remove clothing or cut them off if necessary, but do not move the patient until the splint has been applied.

First Aid of a Compound Fracture Treatment

Send for doctor or other professionally trained person. There may be bleeding from the wound when the bones break through skin. Hold a cloth over a flame to kill the germs and press the cloth gently but firmly over the bleeding point. Splint the part. Use traction method. Treat the patient for shock.

As soon as the patient recovers from the shock you should help them to the nearest hospital, health centre or dispensary.

YOGA EDUCATION

 

YOGA EDUCATION

Yoga is the science which emerged some long back years. Now a days the importance of this science increased all over the world. Let’s go through the outskirts of the yogic science.

Good habits are the essential factors for maintaining good health and each and every one has to follow good health practices in their routine life. In fact, many health disorders are quite common to all. In case of major health problems, precautionary measures are plenty. Some people control their diseases like blood pressure, diabetes, acidity, asthma, rheumatism etc. by taking medicine's regularly. But such practice does not in any way completely eliminate the health disorder. On the other hand, it leads to several other adverse health problems. The continuous, systematic and regular practice of yoga is an effective tool to maintain good health and also has an effect to eliminate all the dreadful diseases from the human body.

Though yoga has such a potential power which adds more health, more vigour still most people have lack of knowledge of systematic practice of yoga. Most of them perform yogic exercises for a short period and as and when health improves, they discontinue the yoga practice. For this reason, the effective result of yogic practices cannot be determined perfectly. Many scientists, doctors, psychologists etc. all over the world are extensively studying the beneficial aspects of yoga which give us encouraging results of positive health through yoga before knowing what is yoga one has to be aware that, yogic practices not only give positive health, but also help to develop concentration and strengthen the immune system.

MEANING OF YOGA

Sage Pathanjali, the author of an ancient book ‘yoga sastra’ explains yoga as a method of controlling the mind. Some scholars regard yoga as an attempt of uniting oneself with the Supreme Spirit i.e. ‘Paramatma’ or God. Yoga is also described as a way of life for the harmonious development of the body, mind and soul.

Very often, yoga is misunderstood and thought of in terms of certain exercises or asanas (postures) for training the body. This is a very narrow concept or meaning of Yoga. It is not a physical act or exercise only. It is much more.

the term 'yoga' which is derived from the Sanskrit word “yuj” meaning “union” or to “join”. Yoga is a type of exercise in which you move your body into various position so in order to become more fit or flexible to improve your breathing and to relax your mind.

According to Aurobindo, Yoga is a way or method through which internal and external facilities of man meets in totality and changes occur and by which may achieve goal or feel his existence and may become the part of him.

Main Features of Yoga

The most important feature of Yoga is that it deals with the entire person, not a part of the person like other types of exercises. Yoga helps the practitioner to gradually progress at the intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual levels. Yoga is a system of physical, mental and spiritual culture to develop every human faculty so that every individual can lead a healthy, happy and long life. It provides eternal bliss. Yoga can be practiced by all, irrespective of Faith, age group, sex and wealth. Yoga is based on ethical and moral codes which are common to humanity. Yoga ideals helps in self-improvement process. Yoga consists not only of physical postures (Asanas) – Control of the internal organs through ‘Kriyas’ and ‘bandas’ and breath control (pranayama) but also mental, intellectual and spirit discipline.

Stages of Yoga or Eightfold Path of Discipline

The secret of yoga lies in the fact that it deals with ‘whole man’, and not with just one of his/her aspects. It is concerned with growth-physical, mental, moral and spiritual. It develops forces that are already within us. Beginning with improved health and added physical well-being, it works up slowly through the mental and spiritual. The transition is so gradual that we may not even be aware of it until we realize that a change is us has already taken place. It is concerned with the control over the body, the senses and the mind. It does not want to kill the body; on the other hand; it recommends its perfection. A sound mind needs a sound body. Sensual attachment and passions distract the body as well as the mind. They must be conquered. To conquer them, yoga recommends the eight-fold path.

According to Sage Patanjali, these are the eight stages of Yoga:

‘Yama’: This refers to the moral discipline of the
