In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dead flowers are pretty easy to spot in the bush because the natural color of the plant is so vibrant. Once the orange blooms and blue base of the flower begin to fade to brown, it's time to deadhead (remove dead flower heads). It's okay to begin pruning before all of the blooms on the plant have died. If you have even 2 or 3 dead blooms, removing them can help the remaining flowers live longer. Follow the stem of the dead flower to the base of the plant, then use your pruning shears to snip as close as possible to the base of the plant. This will prevent the long stem from browning and rotting after you remove the flower. Bird of Paradise flowers won't naturally shed dead stems after the flower is removed, so it's important to remove as much of the stem as possible. This helps your plant to look clean and colorful year round! Always wear thick gardening gloves when pruning. The Bird of Paradise also has large green leaves that can die and begin to brown once blooming is over. Normally, you can pull these using just your hands. You can also use the pruning shears to remove any stubborn leaves that won't come out. Always try to remove any dead foliage as close to the stump of the plant as possible to maintain the trimmed appearance of the plant. Failure to remove dead leaves can result in rotting and fungal infections that can kill the plant completely, so make sure you dispose of the dead foliage completely! If you live in an area that can get the occasional freezing night, you should cover your plant with a tarp to protect its blooms. One freeze can cause numerous dead flowers and leaves. If your plant is in a pot, bring it indoors during very cold temperatures to prevent freezing of the leaves and flowers.
Summary: Look for brown, dead flowers. Cut the stem of the dead flower as close as possible to the base of the plant. Cut or pull any excess brown foliage. Cover the plant with a tarp during deep freezes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though many victims of head or neck trauma experience immediate symptoms of spinal injury, this is not always the case. Sometimes there are no immediate signs but as bleeding and swelling put pressure on the spinal cord, symptoms develop. Victims of potential injury should be monitored closely. It's best to go to the hospital right after injury, but if not then seek immediate medical care if the injured person develops late symptoms of: Changes in sensory perception, like numbness and paralysis, which may worsen gradually. Gradual inability to control bladder or bowel, such as "leaking" urine or becoming incontinent. New onset of erectile dysfunction or changes in genital sensitivity. Increased or new difficulty with walking, balance or coordination. If you or a loved one are at risk of spinal injury after an accident, go to the emergency room or at least see your doctor for testing. Your family doctor can perform sensorineural testing, manually testing muscle strength and ability to feel light touch. More definitive tests are CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs. The injury victim of spinal trauma will initially be stabilized in the hospital. After the hospital stay, however, long-term rehabilitation will begin. The rehabilitation team can involve physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, nutritionists, and social workers. This can be a physically and emotionally challenging time for the victim. Provide emotional support and help however you can, whether that's making frequent visits to play cards, walk the victim's dog, preparing meals, or just being available to talk about their struggles.
Summary: Monitor injured victims for late signs of spinal injury. Obtain diagnostic imaging. Participate in ongoing rehabilitation.
