INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a damp cloth dipped into warm water mixed with mild detergent. Rub the cloth over the scratch and surrounding area to remove any dirt and grime. These supplies can be found at hardware stores, and some auto supply stores. The buffer pad can be attached to any regular electric drill. The buffing compound helps it rub out the scratch. Attach the buffing pad to an electric drill. Apply a small amount of buffing compound to the pad (follow the instructions on the product). Turn the drill on and gently work the pad over the entire scratch area. If the scratch is deep, a touch up pen will hide the problem further. Look up the correct paint code for your automobile (check the owner's manual or look for a label on the car). Find the matching touch-up pen at an auto supply store. Most of the time, all you have to do is draw the pen over the scratch, and paint will be applied. Let the area dry before continuing. Clear coat helps blend the buffed area back in with the rest of the plastic. That way, you won't be able to tell there had been a scratch. You can find clear coat at auto supply stores. Follow the instructions provided with the product. If it's just a small scratch, you can probably just paint the clear coat on the area. Work in a well-ventilated area. Once you're done and everything's dry, get some regular car wax. Use a clean cloth or polishing pad, and buff the entire area with wax. This final step will help make your car look as good as new.

SUMMARY: Clean the scratch area. Get a buffer pad and buffing compound. Rub the scratch out by using a drill and buffing pad. Use a touch-up pen, if necessary. Apply clear coat to the area. Polish the area with car wax.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cerebral aneurysms (often called brain aneurysms) can be fatal if they rupture and go untreated. It's natural to feel nervous about that, so if you experience any symptoms of a brain aneurysm, go to your local hospital or emergency care facility immediately. These symptoms may include: Sudden and extremely severe headaches. Nausea and vomiting Blurred or double vision Seizures Drooping eyelids A stiff neck Light sensitivity Once you are at the hospital, a doctor will consult with you about your symptoms. If they suspect an aneurysm, they may conduct or more diagnostic tests, including an MRI, a CT scan, a cerebrospinal fluid test, and a cerebral angiogram. During a cerebrospinal fluid test, your doctor will draw cerebrospinal fluid from your back using a needle. This will let them know if you have blood in the fluid surrounding your brain and spine. Cerebral angiograms are more invasive tests, and are generally only undertaken if other tests cannot provide enough information. Your doctor will let you know if surgery is necessary. If it is, expect to be admitted for surgery the same day or next-day. It's a major procedure, but surgery for aneurysms is common and has a comparatively low risk of complication. The two most common types of surgery for an aneurysm are surgical clipping and endovascular coiling. For a surgical clipping, a neurologist will access the ruptured blood vessel through your skull. They will place a tiny metal clip on the rupture to prevent any further blood loss. Endovascular coiling involves snaking a plastic tube from an artery to the aneurysm. A surgeon will push a soft platinum wire through the tube to the aneurysm, where it is coiled up and essentially seals the aneurysm. In some cases, your doctor may opt for flow diverter stents. These are surgically put in place to reroute blood flow around the aneurysm. This is a newer procedure but is generally lower risk if you're nervous about more traditional options. if your aneurysm is unruptured. Aneurysms that have not ruptured and are at a low risk of doing so may be managed without surgery. One of the most common suggestions to reduce the risk of rupture is to lower your blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about simple lifestyle changes like diet and exercise you can make to bring your blood pressure down. To keep blood pressure within a healthy range, The American Heart Association recommends that adults get at least 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity for at least 5 days a week. Eating a balanced diet that focuses on whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, and lean protein also helps keep blood pressure down. There is even a whole eating plan, known as the DASH diet, meant to combat hypertension. You may want invest in a blood pressure cuff (known in the medical world as a sphygmomanometer) so that you can monitor your blood pressure at home. If lifestyle changes aren't enough on their own, your doctor may prescribe medication to help you manage your blood pressure. Smoking and high alcohol consumption are both dangerous when it comes to an aneurysm. Try to eliminate both from your lifestyle as much as possible. Try to replace smoking and drinking with other habits. When you get the urge to smoke, for example, try going for a short walk, instead. It won't replace the feeling of smoking, but it will give you something else on which you can focus. If you're struggling to quit smoking, look for a support group in your area.

SUMMARY: See a medical professional immediately if you have symptoms of an aneurysm. Have a doctor test for an aneurysm. Prepare for surgery if your aneurysm has ruptured or is growing quickly. Lower your blood pressure Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol as much as possible.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Situate the pot upside down so that water will be able to flow through it during the wash cycle. Keeping the neti pot at a distance from the force washing action will prevent it from becoming damaged. On the uppermost rack, the device will receive a more gentle cleaning. Protecting your neti pot from damage is especially important if it's constructed of a breakable material like ceramic or features a lot of small, delicate pieces. Set the lid, along with any other removable parts, on the rack next to the pot. If your dishwasher allows you to change the temperature settings, set it as low as it will go. Intense heat can melt or warp neti pots made of plastic. This is another reason why it's a good idea to make room for the device on the top rack where it won't be exposed to the hot water as constantly or directly. Be sure to check the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations included with your device before putting it through the dishwasher. It won't take long for the dishwasher to successfully sanitize your neti pot, so the shortest wash time will suffice. Once it's complete, carefully remove the device and set it aside on a clean towel or dish rack. Allow the neti pot to finish cooling and drying before resuming use. The dishwasher will also take care of the drying process, saving you time compared to air drying. Ceramic and metal neti pots will be extremely hot when they first come out of the dishwasher, so handle them with caution.

SUMMARY: Place the neti pot in the dishwasher on the top rack. Set the dishwasher to a low heat setting. Run a light wash cycle.
