			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aspirin is a medication that is given to relieve pain and also inflammation. There are many who suffer from fever too that can be relieved with the use of aspirin. The use of aspirin is highly regulated because of certain complications that can occur in a person who consumes this drug. The common side effects are that it can cause you to have bleeding in the stomach. In spite of this and other side effects, the drug is used in many parts of the world regularly. Almost all those who have had aspirin stored in their houses will know that after a few weeks, aspirin starts to smell like vinegar. This makes people to wonder why does old aspirin smell like vinegar.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aspirin325-164x300.jpg" alt="Aspirin." title="aspirin325" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3031" />The main reason for the smell is that the composition of the drug is such that once the drug has been stored for some time, the drug starts to degenerate causing the smell. Aspirin actually is a compound that is chemically called as acetyl salicylic acid. The most important fact about this chemical is that if it is stored for some time, it usually starts degenerating into the components from which it is made. The components are acetic acid and salicylic acid. For this reaction to occur and for the drug aspirin to become these acids, there are no other chemicals needed.</p>
<p>This is the main reason for the drug breaking down into the components without any other change in the storage method. The fact is that vinegar which is usually made from fermented fruit juice also contains acetic acid which is the main reason for the smell of vinegar. As the aspirin breaks down into acetic acid and salicylic acid, the acetic acid in it causes the smell to be like that of vinegar. </p>
<p>The aspirin starts to smell like vinegar in quick time when it breaks down into acetic acid. The common causes of the drug breaking down quickly are when it is stored in a place that is not cool and dry. Other than this, when the drug is not stored in a container that is open or not closed tightly, then again it can break down very quickly. Strong light or direct sunlight can also cause the drug to break down. All these should be avoided to make sure that the drug does not break down. These methods prevent the aspirin to break into acetic acid and smell like vinegar.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many ways in which dogs can injure themselves. They may bang themselves against some object or they may injure themselves in many other ways. There are many dogs that have arthritic pain that is secondary to these injuries. Arthritis can also develop on its own in many dogs, usually as they get older. The dogs can also have many other kinds of pain and the pet owners who have these kinds of dogs which have pain have one common question. This question is How Can I Give my dog aspirin for pain. The answer for this has to be decided based on certain facts. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buffered_aspirin-6-300x300.jpg" alt="Aspirin for dogs." title="buffered_aspirin-6" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3026" />Usually aspiring is given to dogs when they suffer from pain in their joints due to arthritis. The pain can be identified by the limping in the dogs. Can dogs take aspirin if they have pain is a question that needs a lot of careful thought because there are certain side effects of consuming aspirin in even human beings. This makes people to be very careful and they give this drug to their dogs only after it is prescribed by a veterinarian or based on the following facts</p>
<p>1.	The age of the dog: The dog that is very small cannot be given aspiring because it will cause toxicity and can kill the dog. As the dog grows older, the weight of the dog can also play a role in the decision to give aspirin to the dog. </p>
<p>2.	The size of the dog: The size of the dog is also an important factor in deciding if aspirin can be given when the dog suffers from pain. This is because the smaller the size of the dog, the more difficult it is for the dog to have no complications. A bigger dog may not have many complications if aspirin is given in small doses.</p>
<p>3.	The complications: There are times when a small dose of aspirin is given to the dog when it suffers from pain, but when the dog suffers from certain complications due to the intake of aspirin that is usually bleeding, then the aspiring has to be stopped immediately and some other alternative drug given to relieve the pain.</p>
<p>Though aspirin can be given to dogs, all the factors mentioned here should be kept in mind and the drug should not be administered in case of any complications. The availability of various alternatives to aspirin is another great help for dog lovers and veterinarians.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An adrenaline rush is a sudden rush of adrenaline when the person is in fear or excited. There are various reasons for the sudden rush of adrenaline to occur. Almost all of us would have felt it at some point in our lives. When we get that sudden rush of emotions, we usually like to know what causes an adrenaline rush and this is what this article is all about.</p>
<p> <img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/pure-adrenaline-rush-275x300.jpg" alt="Adrenaline rush." title="pure-adrenaline-rush" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3021" />The first thing that one has to know about this is that the adrenaline is a neurotransmitter that is also known as epinephrine. When there is a sudden increase in the levels of this neurotransmitter, it is called as an adrenaline rush. There are many other events that can occur at the same time when there is an adrenaline rush or a sudden increase in the heart rate and it could be associated with sweating and increased blood pressure.</p>
<p>The adrenaline is the hormone that is usually released at times of fright or flight. This causes an increased response from the person affected. There are various triggers that can cause this adrenaline rush to occur and they are many in number.</p>
<p>The most common causes of the adrenaline rush is the fear factor. A person who is scared of something will have increased secretion of this hormone that causes the person to get ready for the scary event.  There are also incidents where the person who has a sudden emotional change having increased rush of hormones.</p>
<p>There are many who suffer from conditions like anxiety disorders that can also cause you to have an adrenaline rush. These disorders can be usually caused by events that are tragic in nature or even by trauma with or without brain injury. The anxiety disorder causes the person to have a sudden increase in the release of this hormone causing them to have the adrenaline rush even in times where there is no fear or excitement.</p>
<p>Panic attacks are another important cause of adrenaline rush. A person who has panic attacks can have the adrenaline to be released in large amounts that causes the person to have increased heart rate and also sweating. This causes the person to have certain problems as these attacks occur very frequently.</p>
<p>These are the various causes of an adrenaline rush. In some situations, these are considered to be normal. There are conditions and times when they are considered to be abnormal when they occur.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bunions are common in certain groups of people who wear tight fitting shoes. There are also many other people who suffer from this condition due to various other causes. Bunion is a painful swelling in the great toe usually, but the bunion can occur in other areas too. Bunion surgery is usually called as bunionectomy and it is the removal of the excess growth of the bone. This can be painful after the surgery is over, but it is nothing compared to the pain that you have felt before undergoing the surgery. Any surgery can be scary and you might think what can I expect after bunion surgery and that is what is explained below.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Bunion-186x299.jpg" alt="Bunion." title="Bunion" width="186" height="299" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3019" />There are various things that can be expected immediately after the bunion surgery is done and that is the immediate medical care in the area where you recuperate after the anesthesia was given to do the surgery. Once the anesthesia effect wears off, you are asked to pass urine before being sent home as inability to pass urine is a complication of the anesthesia.</p>
<p>After that is done, you are given a pair of crutches to avoid weight bearing on the area that had the surgery done and you might also be given a shoe according to the area where the bunion was present. The shoe is fitted in such a way that the area where the surgery was done is not compressed. After all this is done, you are discharged to go home.</p>
<p>After you go home, you might need to go back to the hospital again after about a week to have the sutures removed. This is a very important aspect of the wound healing. There are times when the wound can be infected too and this can cause non healing of the wound site. There can also be foul smelling discharge in the affected area. This should be treated with antibiotics and other medications.</p>
<p>Pain is also common and can be expected by you after bunion surgery has been done. The shaving off of the excess bone can cause pain in the site where the bunion was removed. The pain can also be due to the soft tissue that was cut during the surgery. All these are the most common features that can be expected by you after you have had bunion removal surgery. There can be variations in what is actually experienced by you as the post operative signs can vary from one person to another person.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diabetes is one of the most common diseases that is affecting people of all age groups. Even young people are not spared as this disease can affect them too. It is also a very dangerous disease because it can cause various other complications to occur in the person affected with diabetes. Though medications are available to control and treat this disease, exercises and also the diet play an important role in treating this disease. This might make you think what foods should I avoid if I am diabetic.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/avoid-300x240.jpg" alt="Foods to avoid" title="avoid" width="300" height="240" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3016" />There are different people who talk of various diets. The most common diet that is said to help is one that has very less sugar in it. This is a very obvious choice because if a person consumes a lot of sugar or sweets in the diet, then it can cause the person to have increased amount of calories in the body and this can cause the person to have increased levels of sugar in the blood leading to complications due to diabetes.</p>
<p>Though sugar and sweets are the obvious foods that have to be avoided, there are also many other foods that have to be avoided and they include all the foods that are rich in calories. These include foods like pizzas, ice creams, chocolates, desserts, colas and other similar foods. The reason for the need to avoid foods that are rich in calories is because if these foods are consumed, then they will have a lot of energy for the body. This will all be converted into simpler substances and the simpler substance is glucose.</p>
<p>Since all the foods that are consumed are broken down into glucose before being absorbed, any food that has a lot of fat in it is converted into a lot of glucose. This causes the sugar levels of the person in the blood to shoot up. This is the reason for the person to avoid eating foods that contain sugar and also all foods that are rich in calories. All fried foods contain a lot of oil and so they should be avoided. If these are consumed, the oil that is a kind of fat causes the person to have increased calorie intake causing worsening of the disease.</p>
<p>These are the various kinds of foods that have to be avoided and instead, the person can have a healthy lifestyle by eating foods that have very less calories like vegetables and fruits. These will help the person to have a healthy lifestyle and also have the sugar levels under control.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The shoulder is one of the most important joints of the body. All of us do various activities with our shoulder and these activities include raising our hand and also using our hands. Almost all the activities of our hands have a relation with the shoulder because the shoulder also moves when we use the hand. In fact the shoulder is the joint that is very important in the upper limb. The muscles and the tendons in the shoulder together form the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff can also be frequently damaged because of frequently moving the shoulder in all activities. Anyone who has pain in the shoulder would like to know what does a torn rotator cuff feel like. This will help to identify a rotator cuff injury or differentiate the injury.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/rotator_cuff_tear_mri.jpg" alt="Rotator cuff tear" title="rotator_cuff_tear_mri" width="240" height="274" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3013" />The first thing is that the rotator cuff injury causes severe pain in the shoulder when the person tries to do any movement of the shoulder. The reason for this is that the tissues inside the joint are injured and any movement of the joint will cause these tissues to be further stretched causing the sudden increase in the pain. This pain is very severe in the early days, immediately after the rotator cuff tear. </p>
<p>The severity of the pain and all the other symptoms depend on the extent of the tear of the rotator cuff. When there is a severe tear, the person will not be able to even lift the hands and the pain will also be unbearable. When the pain is decreased or less, it might signify a rotator cuff injury that is healing or a mild tear in the rotator cuff.</p>
<p>The pain and also the tear itself in the rotator cuff can cause the person to not be able to raise the hands. The reason for this is that the pain is so severe that raising the hands will cause more pain and the patient tries to protect the part by avoiding to lift the hand. There are times when the tear in the muscle causes the person to not be able to lift the hand because the muscles are the ones that help to lift the hand and the tear makes it impossible for them to lift the hand.</p>
<p>There are times when there can also be weakness and this is how the person feels it to be too. The weakness can cause the person to have decreased function too. All overhead activities too become difficult when there is a rotator cuff tear.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cats are commonly kept as pets in many houses. One of the problems that can occur in them is the infestation of fleas. These fleas cause a lot of problems because they not only infest the cat, but also start infesting the house. Within a matter of days, the whole house is infested and you will find fleas everywhere. The rapid multiplication of these fleas causes a major problem to almost all people. How to get rid of fleas on cat is a question that every cat owner would have had at some point or other.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/getridoffleas_cat1-300x226.jpg" alt="Fleas on cats." title="getridoffleas_cat1" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2995" />The first thing that a person who owns a cat should do is to seek the advice of the veterinarian. This will help the individual to be able to get an idea as to what medications can be used on the <a href="http://www.catcustomer.com/treating-fleas-on-cats/">cat to get rid of the fleas</a>. There are many times when the shampoo that is used for the cat to get rid of the fleas, are those that should be used for dogs only. This can sometimes cause the death of the cat too.</p>
<p>The shampoo that is specifically made to remove fleas on cats should only be used. This will help to remove the fleas off the cat. Once the cat is shampooed, a flea comb can be used to remove the dead fleas from the fur and hair of the cats. </p>
<p>There are some topical creams that are present, which can be used to apply on the skin of the cat. One important thing that should be remembered when topical creams are applied is that the cream should be applied on areas where the cat cannot lick it. The cream has a sustained action on the fleas and gets rid of them.</p>
<p>Even after the fleas are removed from the skin and fur of the cat, it is not enough because the fleas can multiply from the eggs that are present on the bed of the cat. To prevent another infestation within a few days, the bed should be treated with adequate amount of lethal temperature steam cleaning. This will destroy all the eggs of the fleas and make sure that the cats can live without fleas.</p>
<p>The cats should be prevented from going to areas that are infested with fleas and this will also prevent fleas on your cats. Other than this, cleaning the whole house to remove the presence of any fleas will also help to get rid of fleas on your cats.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sand fleas, as the name indicates are the fleas that live in the sand and dust that is present in the area outside each and every house. These fleas are bigger than the many other kinds of fleas. These fleas can also cause diseases in humans. These are fleas that are used to living on various kinds of hosts that live outside the house and may get into the house through your pets. This makes it very important to prevent them from getting inside the house. Every person should know how to get rid of sand fleas to prevent them from becoming a big problem.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/sand-fleas.bmp" alt="Sand Fleas." title="sand fleas" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2992" />These are sometimes found inside the house because they might have got onto the body of the various pets in your house. There are times when they could have struck on to the clothes of the human beings or even on their body and entered the house. These sand fleas can easily multiply inside the house and start infesting the house. </p>
<p>The sand fleas that are inside your house should be vacuumed from the carpets and other material that are inside the house. This will make sure that the fleas are all expelled from the house. </p>
<p>The fleas that remain even after vacuuming can be killed by the use of insecticides by spraying them on various parts of the house where these fleas are likely to hide. The fleas may have left eggs on your clothes, carpets and rugs that can hatch and grow into adult fleas even after you have been able to get rid of all the adult fleas. To prevent this, all the clothes that were infested with fleas should be steam cleaned. This is because the fleas and their eggs all die at very temperatures. </p>
<p>High temperature cleaning devices can be got from professional pest controllers and these can be used to get rid of the final few fleas from your house. Another important factor that is important in getting rid of the fleas in your house is to use a flea bomb in your garden. Though this will help to get rid of the fleas, you should be careful that it does not affect your family and pets.</p>
<p>These are the various methods of getting rid of fleas. Though all these methods of getting rid of fleas are present, one has to remember that prevention is always better than getting rid of fleas after they have infested the house.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fleas on dogs are very common in almost all the houses that have a dog as a pet. The important thing about fleas in the dogs is that the fleas start infesting the house too, as soon as they start multiplying on the dog. These fleas are very small insects that live almost anywhere. They live on animals using them as hosts and suck their blood for the survival. This causes various diseases in the pets and there are times when there are a lot of fleas on the dogs, that the dog even becomes anemic due to loss of blood. Since they reproduce and multiply very rapidly, it is very important for one to know how to get rid of fleas on dogs.</p>

If the fleas are present on the dog, then they should be taken care of immediately to prevent the multiplying of these fleas.</p>
<p>The dogs should be shampooed using shampoos that are recommended by a veterinarian. Once the fur is shampooed, the hair is washed and the fleas are removed using flea remover combs. This will remove almost all of the fleas on the fur of the dog. There are a lot of different kinds of dog flea removing shampoos and products that are available in the market.</p>
<p>Another method of removing the fleas from the dogs is the manual removal of taking out the fleas that do not come out when the shampoo was used. These fleas that are removed can be killed by putting them in a bleach solution kept nearby. After the fleas on the dogs are removed, the person should try to get rid of the fleas from the bed or the mat on which the dog sleeps. This can be done by treating the material and drying in the sun. This will make sure that the dog is not infested by fleas.</p>
<p>Even after the fleas on the dogs are got rid of, there is a very high risk of them being infested again as they go out in the garden. This is the reason for the fact that many houses use flea bombing to get rid of the fleas in their garden too. In spite of this, the dogs may get infested again when the fleas get onto to them from other dogs or pets that enter the house and the whole process of getting rid of the fleas have to be started again.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fleas are very common problems in many households. The problem of fleas is very cyclical, especially if the house has a pet around. The presence of fleas can be very irritating as they multiply very quickly and within a few days, seem to infest the whole house. They also use humans as a host and this makes them cling on to the people in the house too. Every person should know how to get rid of fleas in your house.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/rid-of-fleas-199x300.jpg" alt="Vacuuming to remove fleas" title="rid of fleas" width="199" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2985" />If your house has a flea infestation, the first thing that has to be done is to use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the house. The fleas have a habit of finding the best places to hide and this makes it difficult to find them. The sound of the vacuum cleaner and the vibration it causes makes the fleas to emerge from their hiding places. This opportunity can be made use of and the person can capture all the fleas in the vacuum cleaner. It is very important that the vacuum is used to suck all the pupae that are in cocoons, as the cocoons ware very resistant to the insecticide treatment.</p>
<p>The next stage in getting rid of the fleas in the house is to use an insecticide to spray on all the areas where the fleas are present. The insecticides that are commonly used may not be effective against the fleas. The insecticides that are very effective against the fleas are those that contain insect growth regulators or insect growth inhibitors. This is because these kinds of insecticides have a chemical in them that helps to make the insects stop from maturing from their larval stage.</p>
<p>The growth inhibiting formula used in these insecticides help to control the expansion of the population of the fleas by making the fleas unable to mature. This makes them have the decreased ability to reproduce and their life cycle is stopped. This is one of the best methods of getting rid of the fleas.</p>
<p>Another method that can be used to get rid of the fleas is to use various kinds of pest control that will prevent the infestation of flaws. Professional pest controllers can be used at times when the fleas have multiplied too much and all methods like insecticides and vacuuming seem to have no effect on the flea population.</p>
<p>These are some of the simple, but effective methods of getting rid of fleas from your house.</p>]]></content:encoded>
