Article: A human foot has an arch underneath, which helps propel the body forward each step, as it acts like a spring. Animals like apes have flat feet, as they grasp the ground with their toes. The arch is kept in place by ligaments. Also, the big toe on an ape faces outward, perpendicular from the other toes. In a human, all of the toes go in the same direction. In addition, humans bear weight on the whole foot, which is why it is long and narrow. Other animals mainly bear weight on their toes. Other animals walk on all fours, which is why they tend to have larger bones in their arms than humans. Humans don't bear weight on their arms, so the bones don't have to be as large. For instance, an ape or even a horse bears weight on all 4 legs, so the upper limbs are more developed. Because humans walk upright, the thigh bone, otherwise known as the femur, is the longest, strongest bone in the body. On the other hand, the femur will be the same length as other bones in animals. Look for the long bone starting just above the knee and extending up towards the pelvis. The 2 calf bones, the tibia and fibula, are separate in humans. In other animals, these 2 bones are often fused together. Check these bones, and see if they are a single bone or 2 bones to identify animal or human remains.

Your doctor will examine the wound to determine how severe it is. They may then recommend stitches to close the wound and help it to heal.

Article: Salmonella infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked eggs or meat products that are contaminated with the bacteria. You may feel symptoms immediately or it may take up to 2 days, followed by symptoms that can usually be classified as gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach or intestines. The most common symptoms of a salmonella infection are the following: Persistent vomiting and diarrhea Nausea Chills Fever Headache Blood in the stool Very hot temperature Cold sweats Head cold Runny nose While salmonella usually doesn't pose a high health risk, individuals with compromised immune systems, such as people with AIDS, sickle cell disease or inflammatory bowel diseases, are at an increased risk of complications from salmonella poisoning. Children and the elderly are also more likely to experience serious complications. If the symptoms don't seem to be going away, and the person experiencing them is in a higher-risk group, it's advisable to see a doctor as soon as possible. Immediate medical attention should also be sought if you or the person you're concerned about experiences the following: Dehydration, leading to decreased urine output, decreased tear production, dry mouth, and sunken eyes. If you are losing more fluids (through vomiting or diarrhea) than you're taking in, see your doctor. Signs of a rare, advanced condition known as bacteremia, a condition in which salmonella enters the bloodstream and infects body tissues in the brain, spinal cord, heart, or bone marrow. A sudden high fever, chills, rapid heart rate, and an appearance of serious illness are signs that this may be occurring. Most salmonella can be caught early before this occurs. The doctor will assess your symptoms and, in most cases, advise getting plenty of fluids and resting until the symptoms pass, since they usually go away on their own. If the doctor determines a test is necessary, a stool sample will be tested to determine whether it contains salmonella. The doctor may also decide to test a blood sample to determine whether bacteremia has occurred. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics if the salmonella infection has spread beyond the digestive system. If dehydration becomes severe enough, the patient may need to be admitted to the hospital to take fluids intravenously.
