In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wash your hands using mild soap and water before rinsing the burn with cool water. Do not apply soap to the burn. Pat the area dry with a soft towel. Some skin may come off during washing. Burns are particularly prone to infection, so it is crucial to keep them clean. Look for 100% aloe vera at a local pharmacy or grocery store. Apply a thin layer of this to the burn area. If you have an aloe plant at home, you can cut off a leaf and squeeze the ointment out from inside. If you do not have aloe vera, vitamin E oil is another good option. As an alternative, you could also use silver silvadene cream to prevent infection. with medical gauze. If the burn contains blisters and/or broken skin, it is advisable to dress the burn. Apply 1-2 layers of fresh medical gauze over the wound, and secure it with medical tape. Change the gauze 1-2 times per day or if the gauze gets wet or soiled. Your burned skin will be extra sensitive, so it's important that you protect it from the sun. Don't go outdoors more than necessary until your burn heals. If you must go outside, apply sunscreen to the area. Choose an SPF of at least 30. You should also wear a cover. If your burn shows signs of infection (like a foul smell, accumulation of pus, or increased redness) it is important to seek medical care. You should also see a doctor if your burn has not healed in 2 weeks.

Memorizing formulas and tables is all well and good, but it is more important to understand why the answers are what they are. Try to figure out the logic behind the problem rather than just memorizing and regurgitating. When you're getting the change in the supermarket calculate how much money you should get back. If you are buying gas at a gas station, try to multiply the price by the amount of gallons it takes to fill your tank. Getting better at mental math is a great way to feel more confident, even if the subjects you are studying in school are much more complex. You will always be using addition, subtraction, and multiplication in one way or another no matter how complicated the subject gets. Math is a broad field. Unless you devote your life to the studying of mathematics it is unlikely that you'll ever understand everything. Figure out what part of math is most important for you to understand. Maybe it's something you're studying in school or a subject you have a personal interest in. Start with the basics and work your way up. Don't start trying to do algebra if you aren't comfortable with your multiplication tables yet. You can find practice books on the Internet or in bookstores for any math topic imaginable. These practice books will have a guided curriculum to help you get better at math. Testing yourself is a great way to figure out for sure what you understand and what you don't understand. You might think you understand a concept but you won't really know for sure until you test yourself. Most textbooks feature practice questions and tests. Like anything else, being good at math takes a lot of practice. You wouldn't expect to be muscular after doing twenty pushups at the gym, so you shouldn't expect to be good at math after doing twenty practice problems. Practice everyday and you'll start to understand math more and more.

One-sentence summary -- Strive for understanding rather than memorization. Use mathematics in everyday life. Focus on specific topics. Buy a practice book. Test yourself. Stay committed.

Q: Your doctor will test your reflexes, your ability to move your lower limbs, your strength when he or she applies resistance to your leg muscles, and your sensation when he or she tests your skin with various objects. If any of these are abnormal, it may be an indication of potential Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES). Your doctor may test your mobility and coordination by asking you to walk on your heels and toes. He or she will examine for pain when you bend forward, backward, and to each side. Your doctor will check your anal sensation and reflexes, as abnormalities here are key aspects of the diagnosis of CES. If your symptoms suggest that you may have CES, it is key that you receive an imaging test (either a CT or an MRI) as soon as possible. The imaging test will allow the doctor to see your spinal cord, including the nerve roots, and to evaluate what, if anything, may be causing them to be compressed. Possible sources of spinal cord compression that may be detected on CT or MRI include: A primary spine tumor or cancer metastases A herniated disc in your spine Bone spurs An infection that has gotten into your spinal cord A fracture of the spinal cord Narrowing of the spinal canal for any reason Inflammatory spinal disorders such as ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory arthritis) Spinal hemorrhages In addition to standard CT or MRI imaging, you may also receive something called a myelogram. This is when contrast material is inserted into the cerebrospinal fluid in your spinal cord, and then an x-ray type image is taken. The contrast allows clear visualization as to whether there are any abnormalities or displacements in your spinal column. The myelogram may show herniated discs, bone spurs, or tumors, all of which may be responsible for causing CES. Neurologic tests can help confirm CES and should be undertaken as soon as possible. Your doctor may perform the following tests: Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) This test will measure the speed of electrical impulse as it moves through the nerve. This test can determine if there is nerve damage and can how much. The nerve will be stimulated by an electrode patch attached at one end and the electric impulse is recorded by another patch. Electromyography (EMG) This test is often done at the same time as an NCV and it measures the electrical activity in your muscles.
A: Have your doctor perform a neurological exam. Obtain a CT or MRI. Receive a myelogram. Receive neurologic nerve testing of the lower extremities.

Problem: Article: Protect and carry around your guitar in style by getting a new hard or soft case. Or, make your own soft guitar case easily with some fabric, batting, and a sewing machine. You can also make your own hard case if you have good woodworking skills and access to the materials necessary to cut a custom shape for your guitar. Make sure that if you make your own case, there is no extra room inside for your guitar to rattle around and get damaged, but also doesn't get squeezed too tightly. Try spicing up an old case with new, unique details to display your personality and style. On a soft case, you can sew or iron on patches, embroider patterns, or attach buttons or piping. On a hard case, you can add stickers, paint or pen designs, or replace the clasps and other hardware with new fixtures in a different metal or color. On any case, you can also try customizing the lining by hand-sewing or using fabric glue to attach your own fabric in a fun color or pattern to the inside of the case. Just make sure your guitar still fits well in the case with your added lining. Get yourself a new guitar strap to easily add a touch of color or pattern to the overall look of your instrument. Choose a wide, well-made strap for comfort and durability. You can also make your own guitar strap with any piece of heavy fabric and the right fittings to attach it to your guitar. Or, simply spruce up your existing strap by wrapping new fabric around it. Get new picks that express your style or complement the look of your guitar. Find guitar or music stores that can create custom picks for you, or that make unique or unusual picks. You can even make your own picks using a pick puncher, which cuts out the right shape from any hard plastic or other suitable material.
Summary:
Get a new case or make your own. Decorate your existing case. Get a new guitar strap. Find unique guitar picks.
