How does salt increase blood pressure?

When you eat too much salt, which contains sodium, your body holds extra water to "wash" the salt
from your body. In some people, this may cause blood pressure to rise. The added water puts stress on
your heart and blood vessels.

The pregnancy tests you get at the drugstore work 99 out of 100 times. They’re just as accurate as a
urine pregnancy test that you’d get at a doctor’s office.

Pregnancy tests work by checking your urine (pee) for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin
(HCG). Your body only makes this hormone if you’re pregnant. HCG is released when a fertilized egg
attaches to the lining of your uterus — when pregnancy begins.

In a tourniquet test for dengue, the blood capillaries are examined for their ability to withstand
increased pressure. This gives a good indication for assessing the blood vessels and whether it will lead
to Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) or Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF).

immunochromatographic assay designed for the detection of both dengue virus NS1 antigen and
differential IgM/IgG antibodies to dengue virus in human whole blood, serum, or plasma.

Morning sickness

What is it?

Morning sickness is the nausea (upset stomach) and vomiting (throwing up) that may happen during
pregnancy. It is most common during the first 3 to 4 months of pregnancy. Most pregnant women have
at least mild morning sickness. Although morning sickness is unpleasant, it is harmless unless severe
vomiting occurs. The nausea and vomiting is usually gone in the second half of pregnancy.

Causes:

It is not known why pregnant women have morning sickness. Changes in your hormones and blood sugar
may cause the nausea and vomiting. Stress and nerves may make morning sickness worse.

Signs and Symptoms:

Nausea and vomiting usually happens in the morning, often when you first wake up. But morning
sickness may happen at any time. Dehydration (d-hi-dra-shun) may happen if you are vomiting too much.
This is when you lose too many body fluids. Dizziness, urinating less, dry mouth, and cracked lips may be
other signs of dehydration

Dietary Measures:

Eat small amounts of food high in protein, such as cheese or peanut butter. Stay away from greasy, fried,
or spicy foods. Do not drink alcohol or caffeine drinks. Try to eat every 2 to 3 hours even if you are not
hungry.

While still in bed after waking up, you may want to eat dry toast, Melba toast, or crackers. Eat these at
other times when you have nausea.

Naegele's rule is a standard way of calculating the due date for a pregnancy. The rule estimates the
expected date of delivery (EDD) by adding one year, subtracting three months, and adding seven days to
the first day of a woman's last menstrual period (LMP). The result is approximately 280 days (40 weeks)
from the start of the last menstrual period. Another method is by adding 9 months and 7 days to the first
day of the last menstrual period.

Based on the first day of the last menstrual cycle a woman has had, the due date for the pregnancy is
predicted by adding 9 months to the date plus 7 days. Another way of viewing it is just to add a year to
the date of the first day of the last menstrual cycle, subtracting 3 months, and then adding 7 days to it.
