INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Blood clots are life threatening, so medical action must be taken to dissolve them as quickly as possible. Anticoagulant medications interrupt the process of clot formation. There are several different types on the market, including: Enoxaparin (Lovenox). Enoxaparin is a medication injected to thin the blood immediately. The typical dose for adults is 40 mg injected into a fatty area of the body, such as the arm or abdomen. Warfarin (Coumadin). Warfarin is an anticoagulation pill, which acts as a blood thinner. The dosage depends on the particular patient. To determine the dosage and administration, your doctor may perform a test for blood clotting known as the International Normalized Ratio, or INR. Heparin. Heparin is a traditional anticoagulant medication, given intravenously to prevent the growth of blood clots. The dose depends on your particular circumstances; your doctor should perform blood test measurements to determine dosage. Thrombolytic drugs, also known as "clot busters," dissolve the fibrin strands that hold clots together. Dosage varies depending on your particular circumstances and on hospital protocols. Talk to your doctor about the right dosage for you. If medication alone cannot eliminate the clot, you will need surgery. There are a few types of surgeries that might apply: Cardiac catheterization. For blood clots in the heart, cardiac catheterization is performed to locate the clot. A balloon is inserted to open the blockage, and then a stent is placed to keep the appropriate vessel open. The pressure from the balloon and the stent breaks the blood clot into smaller pieces, restoring the flow of blood. Catheter-directed thrombolysis. A catheter-directed thrombolysis is a surgical procedure in which a catheter is inserted directly to the blood clot, releasing medication to dissolve it. Thrombectomy. A thrombectomy is simply the surgical removal of the blood clot itself. It is often performed with thrombolysis is ineffective, or when there is an emergency condition requiring immediate treatment.

SUMMARY: Start treatment immediately. Take anticoagulants. Talk to your doctor about thrombolytic drugs. Consider surgery.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As an Amazon affiliate, you need to have a website or blog people enjoy reading. Create a page with great content to establish a reader base. Make quality posts that discuss aspects of your life, such as your adventures or your favorite hobby. For instance, many people start parenting blogs or post cooking recipes. Then, they post Amazon links to items relating to these topics. Affiliate links and banners can also be posted on some social media websites, including Facebook and Twitter. Before you get started with the program, you need to create an account on Amazon's website. Then, go to the Amazon associates page and sign up. Signing up is simple and free. All you have to do is fill out a quick application, then wait for Amazon's approval. Join at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/. The requirements for joining the program aren't strict. Amazon basically checks your website to make sure it's legitimate. As long as your site covers safe for work topics, you won't have much trouble getting approved. Ideally, the product you pick to advertise is one you use yourself. The product also needs to be relevant to people reading your blog or website or else they won't click your referral link. Search around on Amazon for products that suit your audience. For example, if you run a cooking blog, you have all sorts of options. Try linking a couple of blenders you like, reviewing food products, or discussing your favorite kitchen tools. Go to Amazon's affiliate program page, then search for the item you wish to link. Click on the "shorten URL with amzn.to" button. Then, copy and paste the link on your site and wait for other people to click on it. You get a commission of about 5% of the sales cost each time someone buys the product through your link. Find clever ways to hide links. For instance, you might say something like, "This camping tent kept my entire family warm and dry during our trip to the Ozarks." Use your website's tools to turn the words "camping tent" into a link. Keep in mind that Amazon requires you to post a clear warning that your page contains affiliate links. For example, you have to type something like, "This page uses Amazon affiliate links. I make a commission when you purchase something after clicking a link." Banners are more like traditional ads you see while browsing the Internet. They are flashy and take up more space on your page. To get a banner, click the banner link on the affiliate page. Copy the code and paste it on your website or blog. The banners are for special sales. For example, Amazon may advertise a Mother's Day sale and create an affiliate banner for it. You get money for each person who clicks on the banner and buys a product. Since many people go on Amazon every day, posting an advertisement is a great way to engage new clients. You will need to design the ad first, then upload it through Amazon's portal. Amazon will review it and charge you a fee to post it on their website. To purchase ad space, go to https://advertising.amazon.com/. Making an ad is a way to engage potential customers or highlight products. Give your ad a clear message to make it stand out. The fee Amazon charges depends on the ad. Big ads cost more than small banners. A small ad is like a banner across the top of the page. A big ad may be a half-page image or advertisement. Video ads and ads that appear frequently also cost more to run.

SUMMARY: Set up a quality website or blog to advertise on. Sign up to become an Amazon affiliate. Choose an Amazon product to advertise. Get the product link and post it on your website. Post advertisement banners to earn additional revenue on your website. Purchase advertising space on Amazon to draw traffic to your website.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you're around your friend or family member, model positive thinking and optimism for them. Offer to help them come up with some mantras or affirmations to use when they start to feel paranoid. For instance, the person might find it helpful to repeat something like, "Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves to think about me," or "Even though I feel scared, I'm not really in danger." Encourage the person to write down the mantra and keep it with them so they can read it when they need it. Invite the person to share their thoughts with you or someone else they trust if they need a reality check. Encourage them to give people the benefit of the doubt if they aren't sure about someone's intentions towards them. This strategy works best for people with mild paranoia who can accept that their judgment is sometimes unsound. Severely paranoid people may not be willing to ask for other people's perspectives. A healthy lifestyle can make mental health issues easier to manage. Help your friend or family member find ways to cut down on stress, get enough rest, and maintain good diet and exercise habits. For example, including physical activity as a part of their daily routine can help improve their mood and boost cognitive functioning that may be impaired with paranoia. Many people with paranoia-related issues have unique talents or a successful career. Recognize the areas where your friend or family member shines, and encourage them to keep doing things they enjoy and are good at. Let's say your friend is really creative. You might encourage them to submit their artwork to a local art contest to keep them occupied and focus on positive activities. If your friend or family member has an illness like schizophrenia, help them come up with an emergency plan when they're stable. Gather important contact information like their doctor's phone number, and discuss who will take care of any children or pets they have if they are hospitalized. Have the person keep this information with them at all times, such as written on a card or on a piece of paper.

SUMMARY:
Help the person maintain a positive state of mind. Help the person put their paranoid thoughts into perspective. Encourage the person to adopt balanced habits. Encourage the person to contribute in areas of life where they excel. Prepare for crisis situations.
