Know the Facts about Keloid
A, "Keliod," is a form of enlarged growth or scar at the site of a wound or cut which extends beyond the confines of the original wound. Keloids can differ in their size, location, as well as their shape, and are common on hands, forearms or ear lobes.
An ear piercing, for example, may result in a keloid. On occasion, a keloid can happen spontaneously, particularly on a person’s chest. Some people may develop scars that are keloid-like on their necks or backs; the area might itch should it become infected.

Medical Check-up >Things Men Should Have Checked
Blood Pressure Check Up:
Your health care provider will perform a physical
exam and check your blood pressure. Your blood pressure should be checked
during every visit to your doctor. Checking it at your yearly checkup will set
a baseline.
Hypertension is the term used to describe high
blood pressure. If you have heart or kidney problems, or if you had a stroke,
your doctor may want your blood pressure to be even lower than that of people
who do not have these

Brown Blood During Period, Should i be worried ?
Seeing brown blood during period can be quite alarming. Blood, including menstrual blood, is supposed to be red, right? But many women do not realize that blood can indeed turn brown. And, for the most part, seeing brown menstrual blood is nothing to worry about.
During menstruation, your body sheds your uterine lining. The body also sheds blood from when the lining pulls away from the inside of the uterus. The menstrual blood and tissue flow down from the uterus through the small opening in the cervix and passes out of the body through the vagina.
When the menstrual blood flows out of the body quickly, the color will be red on heavier days or pink on lighter days. Sometimes, however, a woman notices black or brown blood during period. Darker-colored menstrual blood usually just means that the blood is flowing out of the body at a slower rate. Older blood turns brown — or even black — and is typically not a sign that anything is wrong.
I personally tend to have long menstrual periods that last up to seven or eight days. At first, the blood flows quickly, appearing bright in color. However, by the end of my period, the flow slows down significantly. As menstruation draws to an end, I notice more and more brown blood. Since the pattern of red to brown is normal for me, I do not worry about the change in color during my periods.
For the most part, brown menstrual blood is nothing to worry about. Darker colored blood during a period usually just means that a woman's flow has slowed down and the blood is sitting around longer, giving it a chance to change colors.

Sudden Death, Why? What is the Real Truth About it
The term sudden death is usually taken as being synonymous with unexpected death. It is usually taken to exclude unnatural causes of death. Sudden Death Syndrome events are defined as non-traumatic, non-violent, unexpected occurrences resulting from cardiac arrest within as little as six hours of previously witnessed normal health.
It is often difficult to consider that someone who is apparently young and fit may be at risk. There have been a number of reported incidents of misdiagnosis culminating in a tragedy that could have been avoided.
What can
cause sudden cardiac death in young people?

My first Period .
I remember hearing one of my sisters’ first period stories. The knowledge of what it was seemed already in my mind. I was always surrounded by women (my sisters, my cousins, and nieces) so I guess before it happened to my sister, it must have been something we discussed casually. Growing up in the midst of all these people was a great privilege as I learned a lot from them. They paved the way for me and that made me feel more at ease about all the changes I was going through as i metamorphosed into a woman.
I clearly remember getting my first period. I wasn't prepared, but I didn't think I necessarily needed preparation because I had already witnessed my sister going through it. I do recall that I was thirteen years old, and it happened in May. I was pretty ready for it to come, just not prepared as I didn't know how it will feel.Had a little stomach cramp occasionally and my skin became prone to acne even though my skin glowed whenever I was on my period, I remember talking to my friends about it, hoping to become "grown up" soon. When it happened, I told my mom, sister, and cousin. I didn't really care about them knowing. I wasn't ashamed.
My sister taught me to wear pads. I read the instructions in my bathroom, tried all of the different positions, and finally got it on. But I realised something was not right. I asked my sister a lot of silly questions. She told me to only use the cotton part. It was comfortable and eventually I got the hang of it.
After getting my period, I felt older because I had been told that getting your period is a sign of maturing; I was growing up. Getting my period was not exactly what I thought it would be. I had to learn to deal with it, and I have. Looking back, one thing about getting your period that I do admire is that it is a bridge from adolescence to womanhood, and that is vital to many young girls while growing up.
