			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think of silver, the medical industry may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But silver is an invaluable material as an antiseptic and antibiotic. Ionic silver is known to kill bacteria in wounds. Colloidal silver is the suspension of silver particles in liquid. In began being marketed as a form of wound treatment in the 1990s.</p>
<p>Antimicrobial-resistant conditions such as MRSA, or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, benefit from the use of silver antiseptics. Silver attaches itself and destroys bacteria at several sites at once. This is one of the reasons why bacteria do not normally built a resistance to silver.</p>
<p>For years, silver has been available in the form of ointments and other wound dressings such as films, foams, and hydrogels such as <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/wound-care-c541/silvasorb-hydrogel-1-5oz-tubes-p214872.html">SilvaSorb</a> Gel. SilvaSorb Hydrogel uses ionic silver, which acts as an antimicrobial that destroys harmful bacteria while keeping healthy tissue cells intact.</p>
<p>Colloidal silver can not only neutralize and kill harmful bacteria, but it has also been known to prevent infections in the case of serious burns. Urinary catheters can also be cleaned or coated with silver to help prevent infection</p>
<p>Silver dressings should not be used as the sole treatment of infection, but as a helpful barrier to decrease the bacteria on the surface of a wound. There are two substances that should not be used with silver. Saline is one of these substances.</p>
<p>While saline is commonly used as a cleanser when changing wound dressings, using it with a silver dressing will cause the amount of silver in the dressing to be decreased. Sterile water should be used for cleansing instead of saline. Papain-urea deriding ointment should also not be used with silver dressings. The silver will react with this ointment and deactivate it.</p>
<p>Not only can SilvaSorb destroy harmful <a href="http://www.webhealthmonitor.com/">microbes</a>, but it can also be a good manager of moisture level, which is an important factor in the healing of wounds. A special polymer in SilvaSorb dressings allows it to take in over five times its weight in fluid. It also has more calcium alginate, a water-insoluble gel often incorporated into wound dressings, than other forms of absorption products.</p>
<p>SilvaSorb Gel can also help moisturize a dry wound. It won&rsquo;t dry or irritate the surrounding skin. It is known to treat wounds due to several conditions such as diabetic leg and foot ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, and lacerations and abrasions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been recently approximated that about 1 in 6 people in the united kingdom will experience depression at some stage in their lives. The precise numbers are harder to come by as many people don&#8217;t look for medical assistance and cope with the symptoms themselves. Depression is a serious condition although it can often be hard for family members and friends to comprehend what someone is going through.</p>
<p>There are many causes of depression and the precise causes will vary from case to case with some causes being much more readily identifiable than others. Amongst the more common reasons for depression are serious health problems, death or loss and drug abuse. Some forms of medicine which are used to take care of hypertension may cause depression and there&#8217;s also a genetic component as depression can run in families.</p>
<p>There are a number of signs and symptoms that those who are being affected by depression can experience. These include sensations of overwhelming sadness coupled with guilt, hopelessness and worthlessness. Men and women affected by depression will frequently lose all interest in the things that they&#8217;d usually take pleasure in and have difficulty concentrating for any period of time. Lower energy levels combined with not being able to sleep are further signs and symptoms of depression as are fluctuations in weight.</p>
<p>The treatment of depression can be achieved in a number of ways depending on the individual case and a combination of treatment options is frequently the best answer. The most frequent kind of treatment is anti-depressants proscribed by a medical doctor. These work by increasing the availability of neurotransmitters in the brain or by adjusting how sensitive the receptors within the brain are to chemical substances such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. There is a range of alternative treatments obtainable that have been found to help and talking treatments such as psycho-therapy have a proven track record.</p>
<p>Although <a href="http://www.fightingdepression.co.uk ">depression</a> is among the most common of mental illnesses it is also one of the most stigmatised. It can often be very hard for acquaintances and family members to understand that depression cannot be just snapped out of. If you suffer from depression or have a friend who may be there is lots of help open to you and there is no need to suffer alone.</p>
