Bursitis is when the small fluid-filled sacs around the joints called bursae are irritated or injured. In just about any joint the effects can be felt with pain in movement and when pressed upon. Sometimes a rash will occur as well.
Use a condom: A condom is the easiest and most effective way (after abstinence) to prevent against a sexually transmitted disease. Made of latex for men and polyurethane for women, condoms prevent the passage of disease-causing organisms such as HIV and prevent unwanted pregnancies. It is estimated that the risk of disease transmission with condom use is only 5%.
Have few sexual partners: The large number of sexual partners can favor contamination by some sexually transmitted disease as it exposes individuals to a greater number of sexually active people. Therefore, one way to prevent disease is to have few sexual partners.
Do not use drugs: Drug use is largely responsible for the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. This is because many people share syringes, needles and other objects that favor contamination. In addition to the risk of transmission due to the use of objects with biological material, drug use favors STD contamination because it can lead to risky behavior such as unprotected sex. Thus, STDs can be avoided by not using drugs and not sharing sharps.
This study provides information on the degree of error that will occur when pulse rates are objectively scored for various durations, for example 10, 15 or 30 s, instead of a full minute. This useful information may be beneficial for physicians, nurses and medical practitioners.
