Problem: Article: One of the first things your doctor will do if he suspects that you may have meningitis is take a blood test. Your blood will be examined for an elevated white blood cell count (a common sign of an infection), and your blood will also be cultured in a specialized dish to see what microorganisms (such as bacteria) grow. If microorganisms such as bacteria are found in your blood (in what is called the "blood culture"), your doctor can confirm the presence of an infection and can know which bug is responsible for it. Your doctor can also test the bug that has grown in the dish for its "antibiotic susceptibility." What this means is that he can see which antibiotics are or are not effective at killing the specific microorganism that has infected your body. If your doctor suspects that you may have meningitis, you will also be sent for a CT scan of your head. You will most likely receive this through the Emergency Room, to ensure that you get it quickly. The purpose of the CT scan is to evaluate for any unusual swelling in your head area, and to check that it is safe for your doctors to proceed with what is called a "lumbar puncture" (the one test that can confirm for sure whether or not you have meningitis). If there is excessive swelling or inflammation, it may be too dangerous to perform a lumbar puncture (a spinal cord tap) due to the risk of what is called "brain herniation." This is when brain tissue gets compressed, which can lead to death. A lumbar puncture is the one sure way to determine whether or not you have meningitis. After a CT scan has been performed to ensure that it is safe, your doctor will insert a needle into your spinal canal to get a sample of "CSF" (cerebrospinal fluid). Your CSF will then be tested for the presence of bacteria and other microorganisms, among other things. If you have meningitis, your lumbar puncture will most likely show the results of low glucose (sugar), elevated white blood cells (immune cells), and increased protein. Your doctor can also culture your CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) to see if any bacteria or microorganisms grow. If so, your doctor can perform "susceptibility testing" to determine which antibiotics (or other antimicrobial agents) the bugs that are present are susceptible to (i.e., to determine the most effective choice of treatment for you moving forward).
Summary: Go for a blood test. Obtain a CT scan of your head. Receive a lumbar puncture.

Problem: Article: Draw an oblong connected to it for the body. Draw small circles at the head for the ears. Draw also two vertical lines at the left and at the right. Using that framework as guide, draw the eyes, nose, and snout by using circles and ovals. Draw the mouth and ears using the curves. Add details to refine drawing.
Summary: Draw a small circle for the head. Draw a cross-section at the head tilted to the right. Refine the drawing by using curves to connect the lines and form the head. Draw elongated oblongs to form Pooh's arms. Draw using curves and oblongs to form the legs and feet. Draw Pooh's honey-jar using an oblong shape and curve lines. Draw Pooh's clothes using curve lines that connect to the body. Trace with a pen and erase unnecessary lines. Color to your liking to resemble Pooh!

Problem: Article: It might be tempting to trust a friend or a family member with your PIN but it is not a good idea. Circumstances can change and sometimes, people perceive a need more greatly than maintaining your trust or worst still, a person you do trust might be placed in a compromising position with a third party and be obliged to reveal your PIN under harassment or threat. It is better not to put this to the test, ever. Phishing scams are unsolicited e-mails asking for bank account details, passwords and PINs. Delete them without a second thought and never respond to them. Your real bank will never request personal banking details through an email. Also, never provide your PIN over the telephone; there is never a need to do this and it will always be a fraudulent request. Use your hand, a checkbook, a piece of paper etc. to shield the PIN as you enter it into a bank machine or a store machine. Be especially vigilant in store queues, where somebody may be paying more attention than you. Also, be wary of "card skimmers" at ATMs; they use scanners run over the card slot to lift debit card details and they find your PIN details via camera or looking. If you shield your PIN input well, they are hampered in their attempt. Do not even write it in a diary. If you must write it down, disguise it in some way or put it somewhere totally unrelated to the card, such as in the middle of Shakespeare's Complete Works.
Summary: Never share the PIN. Never give out your PIN in response to e-mail or telephone requests. Shield your PIN when using it. Do not write your PIN down on the card, ever.

Problem: Article: Itching and scratching, along with the appearance of red spots on the skin and swelling, are the most common clinical signs of anaphylactic shock in dogs. This usually occurs within minutes of your dog coming into contact with an allergen. The most common allergens that cause anaphylactic shock in dogs include insect bites, pollen, mold spores, dust, fleas, and environmental pollutants. The speed and severity of the onset of these symptoms will vary, depending on how much contact your dog has had with an allergen and through what mechanism (e.g., through the skin, through an injection, etc.). The most important thing to look for is the close connection between exposure to an allergen and the appearance of these symptoms. All dogs scratch themselves, but scratching soon after contact with an allergen is more likely to indicate an allergic reaction. After itching and redness, these are the next most common signs of anaphylaxis. If these symptoms appear in your dog as part of an anaphylactic shock, they will also develop very quickly after exposure to an allergen. You may notice your dog urinating more frequently or uncontrollably, as well. Lack of bowel and bladder control is another symptom of anaphylactic shock. The initial symptoms of anaphylaxis (itching, vomiting, etc.) will eventually progress to shallow, rapid breathing, weakness or coldness in the limbs, and general lethargy. Your dog may also begin drooling excessively, even if there's no food around. You may also notice irregularities in your dog's heartbeat; it may have a weak pulse or an elevated heart rate. Some dogs may not show any early signs and may instead progress straight to collapsing.
Summary:
Notice if your dog starts itching right after being exposed to an allergen. Look out for the rapid onset of diarrhea, vomiting, or defecation. Watch for signs of trouble breathing or moving in your dog.
