INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have sleep paralysis, the area of your brain that detects threats becomes more active and overly sensitive to stimuli. The temporary paralysis is caused by this oversensitivity. To be diagnosed with sleep paralysis, you must be experiencing three of the following primary symptoms: Inability to move: This may feel as if some outside force is causing the paralysis. Feeling fear, dread, or anxiety because of the paralysis Being consciously awake during the paralysis Clear perception of surroundings: You may notice the time, the moonlight coming in through the window, what your partner is wearing and so on. In addition to primary symptoms, you may experience these symptoms: A sense of overwhelming fear and dread A sense of another presence Pressure on the chest Difficulty breathing Laying on your back even if that is not your preferred position Visual, olfactory (smell) or auditory (sound) hallucinations. These may be combined with the sense of another presence. A feeling of impending doom or death Studies estimate that sleep paralysis affects 5 to 40% of the population, affecting men and women of any age group, although most sleep paralysis begins during the teenage years. Risk factors for sleep paralysis include: A family history of sleep paralysis Changing sleep schedules The existence of another sleep disorder like insomnia; narcolepsy; parasomnias such as sleepwalking or sleep talking, confusional arousals, bedwetting and sleep terrors; hypersomnias (excessive sleepiness) A history of depression, anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and bipolar disorder. These mental disorders were also associated with some of the more disturbing hallucinations. Sleep related leg cramps and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) Medications, including those used to treat anxiety and ADHD Drug and alcohol abuse If you don't notice a reduction in the number of sleep paralysis events within two to four weeks of trying treatment methods or you're losing significant amounts of sleep, talk with your doctor. You may even want to schedule an appointment with a sleep specialist. Sleep paralysis can be a symptom of other underlying sleep conditions or of significant psychiatric problems, but only a physician can make that determination. For example, sleep paralysis can actually be a symptom of narcolepsy, a condition with daytime drowsiness and sudden "attacks" of sleep.

SUMMARY: Recognize the primary symptoms. Look for potential symptoms. Consider your risk for sleep paralysis. Know when to see your doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A plain white-cotton blouse is an essential piece to a modern vintage wardrobe. It is basic enough to be dressed up or dressed down, depending on your mood and environment. Conversely, blouses with loud prints make great vintage statement pieces, but only if you have enough plain modern clothing to tone the prints down. Layer simple white vintage blouses with colorful modern cardigans, or take that bold vintage print and tone it down with a solid-colored jacket. High-waist bottoms add a vintage signature to any outfit. The cut is often very flattering on any body type because it elongates the hips and waist, and can be paired with just about any modern or vintage top. Pair high-waist shorts or pants with a simple white collared blouse to create an effortless day-look. When picking out dresses and skirts, try and find ones that will fall around your ankle or calf, and that sit high on your waist. This style was very popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and will be easy to dress up or dress down with modern accessories. Swing skirts can easily be paired with a printed T-shirt, and shirt-waist dresses look great when layered with a modern cardigan or leather jacket. Many modern shoes have little vintage-inspired accents. Heels with rounded toes and shoes with white laces are reminiscent of vintage looks. Putting on a pair of these, or even leather loafers, will add both modern and vintage touches to an outfit. Colorful heels with a rounded toe can easily modernize a vintage dress or skirt. Pair it with accessories that match the heels to further tie together the look. Strap on some sandals with your high-waist shorts and a printed T-shirt for a great summertime look. Pearls and golden or rustic-looking lockets are great vintage accessories to have. Most likely, however, you are going to need more modern accessories than vintage to help bring modern accents into an outfit. Your modern jewelry should help accentuate a specific color within the vintage piece you are wearing. Edgy geometric necklaces, earrings, or bracelets will add modern touches to any vintage outfit.

SUMMARY: Gravitate toward plain white or colorful printed blouses. Choose high-waist pants and shorts over low-rise bottoms. Look for high-waist swing skirts and shirt-waist dresses for a more feminine feel. Slip on heels with rounded toes or basic laced shoes. Get a mixture of vintage and modern jewelry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: E. coli predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tracts in adults. It causes either watery diarrhea or, in more severe cases, bloody diarrhea that can lead to other complications such as kidney failure. E. coli infections occur most frequently while traveling to areas of the world with poorer hygiene than we have here in North America. It is transmitted via fecal contamination of food, water, etc. Symptoms of an E. coli infection include: Abdominal pain Nausea and/or vomiting Diarrhea Fever Abdominal cramps It is important to understand that E. coli infections are not able to be "cured" (and the bacteria cannot be "killed") with typical medical drugs such as antibiotics or even antidiarrheals. Rather, the treatment offered by medical professionals is "supportive," meaning it consists of rest, fluids, and medications for symptom management such as pain and/or nausea. This is counter-intuitive for many people, who often expect medical drugs as a "cure" for illnesses such as an E. coli infection. Antidiarrheal medications are not helpful because they delay the passage of the infection and a worsening of symptoms. Your best bet, counter-intuitive as it may seem, is to allow the diarrhea to continue to get rid of the infection as soon as possible. Antibiotics are also not recommended they have been shown to worsen the illness, because when the bacteria are killed they release more toxins, resulting in greater damage. Because antibiotics are not advised in E. coli infections, it will be up to your immune system to kill off the infection. Fortunately, your immune system is very capable of doing this, given adequate time and proper support. Rest, follow your doctor's instructions, and allow your immune system to do its job! Talk to your doctor about the supportive measures you can take to get through the infection. It will be important to stay hydrated as you will be losing lots of fluids while you are sick.

SUMMARY: Recognize the symptoms. Do not take anit-diarrheals and antibiotics. Kill the bacteria naturally with your immune system.
