Best sleeping position during pregnancy

Sleeping on the left side is the best comfortable position to sleep for a pregnant woman. The status of restful sleep for a pregnant woman is one of the most prominent problems that caused her insomnia and fatigue with entering the fifth month of pregnancy because of the increased size of the stomach day after day.

This is because the liver is in the right side and therefore sleeping on the left side decrease the pressure on the liver by the uterus. Also this situation, help the kidney to make it's function so reduces the swelling of the feet and hands, but sleep on the left side also helps to increase blood flow to the placenta.

N.B:sleeping on the back is one of the positions that must be abandoned because the large size of the fetus causing pressure on the back and the inferior vena cava, which carries blood from the lower part of the body to the heart, also causes pressure on the intestines, which slows down the digestion process.
Also, sleeping on your back during the last months of pregnancy increases the chance of back pain and decrease in blood pressure .

DO'S AND DONT'S FOR THE DISEASE- RABIES

RABIES: A FATAL, BUT PREVENTABLE DISEASE

Rabies is practically a 100% fatal disease .There are only 4 recorded survivors till date who recovered following intensive life support and excellent nursing care.

Points to Remember:

1. Rabies is 100% fatal.
2. Rabies is preventable through wound care, correct use of vaccines and sera.
3. Incorrect/wrong treatment to animal bite victims may lead to rabies death and litigation under Consumer Protection Act.
4. It is very important also to elicit information about the biting animal (dog/cat).
5. Healthy, pet and regularly vaccinated dog / cat (low risk category).
6. Healthy, pet and vaccination doubtful or not done (moderate risk category).
7. Rabid, Sick, died, stray (dog/cat) or other animals or wild animals (high risk category).

The signs of rabies in the dog/cat are:

1. Any change in its normal behaviour suggesting either undue aggression or depression.
2. Running aimlessly and attacking others without any provocation.
3. Becomes too drowsy and withdraws itself to a corner.
4. Excessive salivation.
5. Change in its voice/bark.
6. Refusal to feed or eating unusual objects like stone, paper, wood, metal pieces, etc.
7. Death of the animal.

Do's
 

1. Wash all wounds under running water (or flushing) for at least 10-15 minutes.
2. Gently clean all wounds with a detergent or any soap available (soaps are viricidal).
3. Apply any household antiseptic like Dettol, Savlon, and Povidone iodine (preferred).
4. In extraneous circumstances other alcoholic (>40%) preparations like Rum, Whisky, after-shave lotion may be applied on the wound (s).

Dont's
 

1. Bandage or dress the wound (wherever practicable or as far as possible).
2. Use tincture iodine.
3. Suture the wound.
4. Apply any local applicants like turmeric, neem, red chilli, lime, plant juices, coffee powder, coin, etc. as these will act as irritants and propel the virus in the wound deeper to cause nerve infection and resultant rabies encephalitis and death.

Cheques, drafts to be valid for 3 months only

New Delhi, April 1, 2012(PTI):Banks from today will stop honouring cheques and drafts if they are not presented within three months of the date of issue as against six months earlier.

The validity period of cheques and drafts is three months only.

The decision to reduce the validity of cheques, bank drafts and other instruments to three months announced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) earlier will come into effect from today.
With a view to mitigating frauds related with such instruments, the RBI in a directive had said with effect from April 1, 2012, banks should not make payments against cheques, drafts, pay orders or banker’s cheques if they are presented after the period of three months from date of issue.
The directive followed complaints that some persons were taking undue advantage of the six-month validity period and circulating these instruments like cash.
Commenting on the decision to curtail the validity period of cheques and drafts, a senior banker said, the three-month validity period is a good enough time for conciliation of these instruments.
The RBI had said, “In public interest and in the interest of the banking policy, it is necessary to reduce the period within which cheques/drafts/pay orders/banker’s cheques are presented for payment from six months to three months from the date of such instrument.”

The tallest Mail Box in the world....................

The tallest Mail Box in the world was established by Mr. Sanguan Jirajinda, Mayor of a small town called Betong in Thailand in 1924. It was made of reinforced concrete and was approximately 3 metres tall. Sanguan, who was a former postman built it at the age of 80 to be a symbol of communication of Betong and installed a radio broadcast on the top of the mail box for people to listen official news. The mail box is still in use.

This has, however, been superseded by another mail box of similar look constructed by Betong Municipality. The new Mail Box is three times taller at approximately 9 mts.

The new mail box attracts a large number of tourists.

A Heart Touching Story -- DO NOT JUDGE So Quickly!! (MUST READ)

MUST READ!!!

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being
called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the
call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to
the surgery block. He found the boy's mother going and coming in the hall waiting for the
doctor.
On seeing him, the mother yelled:

"Why did you
take all this time to come? Don't you know that my
son's life is in danger? Don't you have the sense of
responsibility? "

The doctor smiled and said:
"I am sorry, I wasn't in
the hospital and I came the fastest I could after
receiving the call.. And now, I wish you'd calm
down so that I can do my work"

"Calm down?!
What if your son was in this room right now,
would you calm down? said the mother angrily.

The doctor smiled again and replied: Doctors
cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your
son, we will do our best by God's grace"

"Giving
advice when we're not concerned is so easy"
Murmured the mother.


The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,"Thank goodness!, your
son is saved!"

And without waiting for the
mother's reply he carried on his way running.
"If
you have any question, ask the nurse!!"


"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some
minutes so that I ask about my son's state" commented the mother when seeing the nurse
minutes after the doctor left.


The nurse answered, tears coming down her face:

"His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was
in the burial when we called him for your son's
surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."


Moral:- Never Judge Anyone on your own way.
Because You never know how their life is & what
they're going through!
