SHOPwiki

Leave a Comment

Today i came across an interesting site,called the SHOPwiki.com .This site has created a search engine of all the products available over the internet.This site has indexed a wide range of products ranging from health and beauty[link],men's grooming products[link],hair care products[link],cosmetics and other beauty products[link],skin care products[link],natural health products[link],mineral cosmetics[link] and many more.

This is basically a free service where they have indexed a directory of useful products.They have provided product pictures,a short description and a link to the original store.This site is useful in cutting down the time to search for products in various search engines.

Some of the products that really interested me, are blood pressure monitors,acne related products,personal care attendant training,men's hair care,medicines for asthma,glucometer,pregnancy test kits,medicine store and many more.

Another useful feature of this site is that,whenever you search for any health related product,at the bottom of the page they provide relevant links where important information about the specific health related product can be gained.They also provide a list of the online stores where a particular product can be bought,along with the pricing in each store.Thus an immediate price comparison can be made.Last but not...

CAUSES OF EPISTAXIS

Leave a Comment

Paranasal sinusesImage via Wikipedia

Bleeding from inside the nose is called epistaxis .It can occur in any age group namely children,middle aged and elderly.Epistaxis is a very common cause of emergency visits.

In this post i'll briefly review the causes of epistaxis.

Trauma in the form of finger nail trauma,nose injury,fractures of middle third of the face or the base of the skull is a very common cause of epistaxis.

Infections like acute sinusitis,viral rhinitis, nasal diphtheria,atrophic rhinitis,tuberculosis,granulomatous lesions of the nose like rhinosporidiasis can also cause epistaxis.

Any neglected foreign body in the nose can also cause epistaxis.In certain situations organisms like maggots,leeches get implanted in the nose and cause epistaxis.

Epistaxis may also occur in atmospheric changes like high altitude,sudden decompression as seen in Caisson's disease.[I'll later post an article explaining caisson's disease]

Deviated nasal septum is also a very common cause of nose bleeding...
