Answer 1

6. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a closed tube of tissue attached to the large intestine in the lower right abdomen. Inflammation may occur when the appendix becomes infected or blocked with stool.

An early symptom of appendicitis is a pain, often in the center of the abdomen but sometimes on the right side. The pain may be dull at first but may become more sharp or severe. Accompanying symptoms may include slight fever (above normal but less than 100 degrees), vomiting or nausea.

Some individuals, particularly children, experience loss of appetite.

As the condition progresses, severe pain is usually felt in the lower right part of the abdomen.

As the appendix becomes further inflamed, symptoms may include:

• severe or worsening pain or cramping in the abdomen, rectum or back
• swelling or tenderness in the abdomen
• severe nausea or vomiting
• high fever (over 100 degrees)
• diarrhoea or constipation
• inability to expel gas

7. Depending on the severity of hypothermia, emergency medical care for hypothermia may include one of the following interventions to raise body temperature:

• Passive rewarming. For someone with mild hypothermia, it is enough to cover them with heated blankets and offer warm fluids to drink.
• Blood rewarming. Blood may be drawn, warmed and recirculated in the body. A common method of warming blood is the use of a hemodialysis machine, which is normally used to filter blood in people with poor kidney function. Heart bypass machines also may need to be used.
• Warm intravenous fluids. A warmed intravenous solution of salt water may be put into a vein to help warm the blood.
• Airway rewarming. The use of humidified oxygen administered with a mask or nasal tube can warm the airways and help raise the temperature of the body.
• Irrigation. A warm saltwater solution may be used to warm certain areas of the body, such as the area around the lungs (pleura) or the abdominal cavity (peritoneal cavity). The warm liquid is introduced into the affected area with catheters.

8. Diarrhoea is a condition in which faeces are discharged from the bowels frequently and in a liquid form. Diarrhoea may cause dehydration, which means your body lacks enough fluid and electrolytes to work properly and maybe some times fatal.

9. The skin is badly torn, crushed or bleeding significantly first apply pressure with a bandage or clean cloth to stop the bleeding. Notice for increasing swelling, redness, pain or oozing, which are warning signs of infection. If the bite was caused by a wild animal, seek advice from your doctor about which animals are most likely to carry rabies. Bats often carry rabies and can infect humans without leaving obvious signs of a bite. This is why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people in contact with bats or even those who are sleeping and awaken to find a bat in the bedroom seek medical advice about rabies shots, even if they don't think they've been bitten. If the patient hasn't had a tetanus shot in the past 10 years or five years if the wound is deep or dirty. he may need a booster shot.

10. Two types of poisonous snakes are Elapine snakes and Viperine snakes.  

Elapine snakes including cobras and coral snakes, have shorter fangs and the venom acts as a neurotoxin, which paralyzes the respiratory system.

Viperine snakes including true vipers and pit vipers like rattlesnakes have longer, hollow fangs and they strike to inject the hemotoxic venom.

Most poisonous snakes have a pupil that resembles a cat's; an oblong shape with peaked ends, like a slit in the center of the eye.
