Power Wheelchair on ReviewWritten by Ruby Loterina
You may have heard of sophisticated power wheelchairs on news and might want to have one for yourself. Remember that more services a product offers, more expensive it becomes. Assess everything first. Do you really need it? Is it worth price? Or will it give you a lasting service? Here are facts that you might want to know before you decide on which wheelchair to buy.Wheelchairs are categorized into scooters and power wheelchairs. The main difference between these two categories is way they are steered. Scooters have handlebar at end of tiller that is attached to front wheel. This handle mechanically turns wheelchair, thus, controlling its movement. But speed is usually controlled by lever that is attached to handlebars so that you can easily press it with your thumb. On other hand, a power wheelchair is that which uses electric motor. It is also known as electric wheelchair. This type of wheelchair has a built in electronic control device, such as joystick, which causes different amount of power to go to wheels to control both speed and direction. But this doesn’t imply that all power wheelchairs are high performance wheelchairs. You do not just go for power wheelchairs. They may seem to make your way of life easier but there are still risks that should be considered before buying and using them. They’re probably dangerous for persons who suffer from loss of control or awareness, particularly elderly. That is why most elderly prefers to use manual wheelchairs or scooters.
| | Hair Loss - The Top 7 Causes and What You Can Do About ItWritten by John Howard
Hair loss is always something people do not want to deal with. Perhaps seeing extra hair in shower or on brush is what alerted them to their hair loss. Or, maybe a friend or family member has made a comment as to how thin individual's hair has become. Regardless of how it came to be noticed, hair loss means something. Here are a few things to look into regarding why hair loss happens and if there is something that can be done about it.1. Medicines are often a large cause of hair loss. Such medicines as blood thinners, birth control pills, and antidepressants can cause hair loss. Chemotherapy drugs, gout drugs, and even high doses of vitamin A can cause it. To stop hair loss, drugs must be stopped. Usually normal hair growth will return at this point. 2. Hormones are a large cause of hair loss as well. Often this will be due to over-activity or under-activity of thyroid gland. This creates an imbalance of such hormones as androgens and estrogens and leads to hair loss. Treatments for thyroid disease often fix this problem and hair loss stops. 3. Pregnancy. Often times, levels of hormones in pregnant women's body are so high that they do not allow normal growth cycle of hair to continue. This means that during pregnancy, women lose less hair. About 3 months after pregnancy, though, many women experience high levels of hair loss that is just hair that never fell out during pregnancy. Hair loss will soon stop and regular hair cycles will begin again.
