Problem: Article: An inguinal hernia is common in men because the inguinal canal does not close properly, creating a weakened spot that is prone to hernias. Normally, a man's testicles descend through the inguinal canal shortly after birth and the canal closes almost completely behind them. An inguinal hernia develops when the intestines push through the inguinal canal. In men and women, the inguinal canal is found in the groin area. In men, it is the area where the spermatic cord, which holds up the testicles, passes from the abdomen to the scrotum. In women, the inguinal canal contains a ligament that helps to hold the uterus in place. This type of hernia causes gastroesophageal reflux, a burning sensation that occurs due to the leakage of a person's stomach contents back into their esophagus. A hiatal hernia is most common in people over 50 years old. Congenital birth defects may cause a child to develop a hiatal hernia. Babies under six months old develop an umbilical hernia if their intestines protrude through the abdominal wall near the belly button. If you notice a bulge or swelling near your child's belly button when he cries, he may have an umbilical hernia. Umbilical hernias usually go away on their own, once the child reaches one year old. If the hernia is still present after the child turns one, surgery will be required to correct the hernia. An incisional hernia occurs when the intestines push through an incision scar or weakened tissue after abdominal surgery.
Summary: Recognize the most common type of hernia, an inguinal hernia. If part of your stomach protrudes through your diaphragm into your chest, you may have a hiatal hernia. Get your infant checked for an umbilical hernia. If you have recently had abdominal surgery, be wary of an incisional hernia.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As noted above, one common cause of infection following an ear piercing is the introduction of bacteria into the piercing via the wearer's hands. Though it's easy to absent-mindedly fool with your earrings while you're bored or daydreaming, try to avoid this type of behavior, especially if your hands haven't been recently washed. Doing so lessens the likelihood that you'll accidentally re-infect your piercing. If you're prone to piercing infections, you may want continue performing the cleaning routine above, albeit less frequently. When you're able to, clean the posts of your earrings and the area around each piercing with an antiseptic fluid before inserting your earrings to kill any bacteria that may be introduced into the piercing. Believe it or not, one of the causes of ear piercing infection is earrings worn too tightly! If the earring's clasp is applied too tightly, it can cut off the flow of air to the piercing, which, over time, can increase the risk of infection. To prevent this, simply wear your earrings loosely so that air can reach both sides of the piercing. For the same reason as above, you'll want to periodically give your piercings a chance to "rest" from wearing your earrings. Once the piercings have healed (for piercings in the lobe, this is usually about six weeks), take your earrings out every night before you sleep. Doing so ensures that air is able to reach your piercing, reducing the risk of infection. Certain types of metal used for earrings can irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction in the skin. These problems can develop into full-blown infections if not addressed. For most people, irritation can be avoided by wearing earrings with posts made from neutral metals like 14-karat gold and stainless steel, which are unlikely to cause problems. Avoid earrings made from nickel, which are notorious for causing allergic reactions.

SUMMARY: Avoid touching your earrings, especially with dirty hands. Clean your earrings and earlobes before inserting your earrings. Wear your earrings with a loose clasp. Remove the earrings before bed once the piercing has become permanent. Use earrings made from a non-irritating material.

Always remember, measure twice, cut once. You only get one chance at cutting before you make a mistake and discover that you have to make another trip back to the hardware store. And they will immediately know why you are there. Cut the longer pieces first, then use remaining pieces for the shorter sides or to create braces. If you can apply a sealant or paint before final assembly, do so. The purpose is to coat the wood, and so why not make sure that it is properly covered before screwing all of these joints together forever? Though there are devices that will allow your to drill the screws directly into the lumber, doing so can stress the wood and cause splits near the end. It is also easier to maintain control when drilling guide holes than it is to screw directly into the wood, especially when using hard woods. Use a screwdriver bit with your drill to attach the ends of the window box to the bottom using rust-proof screws. Be sure to support the wood against something sturdy or have someone hold the lumber while you are screwing the pieces together. Place the front and back sections onto the bottom section to make sure that all of the pieces are cut to fit (the ends should all be flush with each other) before attaching the front and back pieces of the window box. Screw the front and back pieces to the bottom and sides of the window box. You'll need several holes in the bottom of the window box to allow water to drain out of the window box. Let the sealant or paint dry completely before final installation. This will prevent the soil from rotting the wood. Use them to cover the drainage holes to keep the soil from coming out of the bottom of the window box. Drill holes into the exterior wall where you're going to hang your window box. Additionally, if you have left lumber to serve as a separate brace, drill holes for that as well. Attach the brace first, then the window box, screwing them in tightly but without damaging the wood. When screwing the window box to the brackets from the bottom of the window box, use screws that are slightly shorter than the thickness of the bottom of the window box. Your project is complete.
