A recent study shows that indoor tanning (using tanning beds) is now causing more cases of cancer than cigarettes. Researchers e

stimate around 360,000 cases of lung cancer each year can be blamed on smoking. Compare that to the more than 450,000 cases of skin cancer (including basal and squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma) that are attributed to indoor tanning.
Most people, however, do not understand the dangers that indoor tanning presents. Indoor tanning is incredibly popular. In the same study, scientists found that 35 percent of adults, 19 percent of adolescents, and 55 percent of university students have used tanning beds.
“People are already aware of the harms of smoking, but they are not aware of the harms of indoor tanning,” Dr. Eleni Linos, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco states. “We need to get the message out that indoor tanning is dangerous, and causes a tremendous health burden to young people. . . We’re seeing younger and younger patients coming to us with skin cancer. That is a new phenomenon.”
“The only other advice is to get the message out to friends and family members. We are all influenced by the habits and opinions of those close to us, and we can use this influence for good,” Dr. Linos says. “Start spreading the word about the harms of indoor tanning to everyone you know, especially young people who are at highest risk.”
“It’s time to put an end to this harmful habit,” she says.
What does Dr. Linos suggest is needed to reverse the growing number of cancer cases? Check all that apply.
ensuring that people who use tanning beds know they can cause cancer
encouraging people to share the dangers of tanning beds with friends and family
banning the use of both cigarettes and tanning beds
informing young people that they too can develop skin cancer
limiting tanning bed use to older adults only

olga_2 [115]
Marasmus is a severe form of malnutrition, usually occurs in children in developing countries, can be life-threatening but can be treated. Preliminary diagnosis of marasmus, as done by the doctor above, is through physical examination. Weight and height of a particular child should be parallel to his/her age. Motion/mobility of the child/patient is also of consideration because those children with marasmus usually have lack energy to move. Blood tests, however, is not definitive because a malnourished child with marasmus wilol usually have many infection, hence, it will all show in his/her blood results. The main symptom of marasmus is being underweight and loss of lot of muscle mass and subcutaneous fats (fat under the skin). It is also accompanied by stunted growth, respiratory infection, chronic diarrhea and intellectual disability. Nutrient deficiency is main cause of marasmus. They are deficient in food rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, iodine, zinc and Vitamin A. Initial treatment of marasmus is dried skim milk powder mixed with boiled water. Later on, vegetable oil like sesame, casein and sugar can be incorporated to increase energy content and density of the mixture. On his/her way to recovery, a more balanced diet is required. Rehydration through oral hydration is also a priority because of dehydration caused by diarrhea. Infections should also be treated by antibiotics.
