Article: For example, capello (using what we learned /ka-pel-lo/) means hair. cappello (using what we learned /kap-pl-lo/) means hat. For example, h comes between c and e as che to keep it a hard c. Otherwise c would be pronounced as t. h also shows history of a word as a help to the speakers of the language. For example, ho (I have) pronounced as o is from the root avere (to have) pronounced as a-ve-re. Think of it that it actually has been (h)avere very near to English "have."

Double consonants are actually pronounced twice in Italian. Silent Consonant is the letter 'h' which has no role in pronunciation, but as a hint.
Article: Sorbitol, a sweetener used in most sugar-free gum, is an ingredient in lots of laxatives. If you're suffering from a bout of constipation and want to get things moving, chew a couple pieces of sugar-free gum. Don't use this as a long-term solution. High levels of sorbitol can cause stomach irritation and other digestive problems. Coconut water is increasingly popular as an after-workout drink, and it has natural laxative effects, as well as diuretic properties and other positive health benefits. Drink one bottle of coconut water to help relieve symptoms, or drink the milk of one raw coconut. Don't overdo it. Too much coconut water can have the opposite effect, giving you very loose stools. If you're suffering from constipation, take a tablespoon of all-natural extra virgin olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice in the morning on an empty stomach. Olive oil is a common home remedy used to promote digestion and lubricate stool. Similarly, flax oil and orange juice is a common, but unverified, home remedy for constipation. In general, doctors do not recommend using mineral oil or castor oil for constipation remedies. Mineral oil can cause problems such as vitamin deficiencies, and castor oil can lead to long-term constipation. The benefits of drinking warm lemon water in the morning are somewhat hard to pin down, but this is an increasingly popular home tonic thought to have any number of weight-loss, skin care, and cold-prevention properties. It's true though that lemon juice stimulates liver function, helping you digest food more thoroughly, making your stools easier to pass. Drink one cup of warm water with a tablespoon of lemon juice added first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. For added nutritional benefit and taste, add a small amount of raw honey and some turmeric powder. All-natural yoghurt, fermented kombucha drinks, and naturally-fermented sauerkraut are all excellent sources of probiotic bacteria, which are commonly used to treat digestive issues, including constipation and diarrhea. If you've been constipation as a result of viral infection or other illnesses, foods containing probiotics can be a solution. While the research regarding probiotic cultures and constipation is somewhat mixed, and probiotics are typically used to treat diarrhea, it's true that intestinal flora is an essential part of overall digestive health. Some favor the prebiotic approach over the probiotic approach because if you feed your existing probiotics, you encourage growth of the good bacteriaas opposed to ingesting good bacteria from another source (typically cows). With prebiotics you are establishing your own stable healthy gut, and don't have to rely on feeding it new bacteria. You create a situation of competitive exclusion whereby the bad bacteria is less able to find food to eat because the good bacteria is growing faster, outnumbering the bad bacteria and out-eating the bad bacteria. For a lot of people, a morning cup of coffee is a quick way to get things moving. The stimulant properties of caffeine do stimulate your intestinal muscles, making it somewhat easier to have a bowel movement. Drink a cup of coffee or some caffeinated tea in the morning to temporarily and quickly relieve constipation. Don't use this as a long-term solution to your morning toilet routine. Coffee is a diuretic, which means it draws water out of your stools and makes them more difficult to pass. Limit your caffeine in-take as much as possible. Available in most groceries stores, a few ounces of natural aloe vera juice every couple of hours can help to relieve constipation. Dried aloe vera is also commonly available in capsule form at natural food stores for use as a constipation treatment. Dandelions do have a purpose. Tea made from dandelion root is a common and effective constipation remedy, rich in phytonutrients. Dandelion root is used in a variety of natural herbal blends available commercially, for things as diverse as constipation relief, liver function, kidney function, and other digestive issues. It also tastes great and is widely available.

Article: Men of any age can suffer from infections that cause testicle pain, which can be caused by E. Coli or other bacteria. For older men, benign enlarged prostates can play a major role in developing these infections. The bacteria accumulates when the enlarged prostate prevents the bladder from draining properly. Because of this, E.coli or other gastrointestinal bacterial can back up and cause infection. Medical treatment for this includes Bactrim DS or a quinolone antibiotic. The course of treatment is around 10 days, unless the prostate is involved, which may be treated longer. Often, the Prehn's sign will ease symptoms. Ice packs are also helpful. You can reduce pain with Tylenol, Motrin, or even stronger narcotic pain medication for the first few days. Treatment for STIs is antibiotics. Your doctor may prescribe Rocephin followed by a course of zithromax or doxycycline. Improvement in pain should begin in 24 to 48 hours. Ice packs as well as testicular elevation can bring relief while you wait for the antibiotics to work. You can also take over the counter pain medications to help as well, especially during the first few days. Testicular trauma is caused by a twisted testicle not getting enough blood. This typically occurs after many different kinds of trauma, such as slipping off of a bicycle and hitting the groin. Extreme testicular trauma can twist the spermatic cord, which calls for surgical intervention. This condition affects 3.8% of every 100,000 males under the age of 18 every year. Early recognition of a high-riding testicle and no Cremasteric reflex is sufficient to warrant surgical exploration. This can help prevent an orchiectomy, which is the surgical removal of the testicle. Even trauma that is not severe can cause swelling, tenderness, high fevers, and frequent and urgent need to urinate. The window from injury to surgery is approximately four to eight hours. This will prevent too much damage to the spermatic cord, which has to be untwisted quickly to avoid removal. Despite this rush to take care of it, orchiectomy rates average 42%. Delay in diagnosis may result in orchiectomy and possibly infertility.
