Hello guys, I will be taking you through what I learnt last week. Last week was the first week of the year and it was quite fun and am loving the year already.

Tuesday: Menstrual Cramps - Dysmenorrhea

My friend told me she was feeling severe stomach ache and it was just few days to her menstruation period.So we went to a specialist and we were told that pains felt before the actual menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. It occurs few days before the actual menstruation period and in different forms such as stomach ache, headache, constant vommit. This pain could be mild or sometimes severe but the pain reduces as the lady grows older.

Causes:

One major reason for the pains could be as a result of high intake of sugar.

Menstruation develops the uterus for childbearing and cramps felt is as a result of tightening of the of uterus by action of an hormone - prostagladin.

It is contraction of the uterus during menstruation that causes pain.To reduce the pain, intake of lukewarm liquid to ease the flow.

PS: Uterus is where the child grows.

Thursday: Heimlion Maneuver

I went to Red Cross training program organised by my community and the most interesting thing I learnt was the Heimlion Maneuver

The Heimlion maneuver is employed to save someone from choking.
It is very a technical process and it is performed by trained personnel. I will be showing steps on how to perform the Heimlion maneuver.

How to Perform Heimlion Maneuver

Step1: Go behind the choked victim and make sure he/she understands that you are trying to rescue. Then spread your legs apart to balance yourself firmly to the ground.

Step2: Wrap ur arms around the victim's belly(abdomen) by wrapping your fist over your other arm.

Step 3: Tighten your arms around the victim as explained above and make thrusts repeatedly till he/she makes a vomit.

Ps: Call for Emergency.

Friday: Scientist discover a new method to test level of IQ

If you think you are smart,then you should have a weird sense of humor. Smart people with high level of IQ are known to be better educated and show less aggression.

In a study performed by Medical University of Vienna, a group of people were gathered and given an aptitude test and then later given bleak cartons by German cartoonist Uli Stein and their reactions to the cartoons were observed. From the study, it was observed that people with higher IQ made funny reactions to the cartoons and those with lower IQ were indifferent as they could not interpret the jokes.

A very good example of a dark joke is:

"I am sorry" and "I apologise" mean the same thing. Except at a funeral

According to the study, smart people will understand the jokes because it takes a fast level of reasoning to interpret.
