Precautions 101: Moving Out Amidst Coronavirus

Are you moving out in your new home during pandemic? Well it is a different process than usual as you have to take important precautionary measures during pandemic to safely move to your new house. Here are few tips for you to safely move into your new home.

Have a look! 

1. Get Rid of Excess

Yes, this is very important to get rid of germs! 

Disassemble cabinets a few weeks before X-day. Surely you will find clothes that can be donated to recycling or charity, sold through websites or given to those in need. The same applies to dishes, furniture and other household items as they might have germs on them. 

Along the way, you can make lists of what you need to buy in a new home. By getting rid of unnecessary items, you will not only save space in moving boxes, but also tune in to a new stage in life.

 2. Measure Furniture & Appliances

It doesn't matter if you are selling an apartment or moving from one rented apartment to another - the first thing to decide is what kind of furniture you will take with you. It depends on what is in the other house, what will fit, whether it makes sense to transport bulky cabinets, whether you can do without them, or you need to buy more appropriate for the interior.

After measuring cabinets, beds and a refrigerator, you will imagine the volume of traffic, because furniture takes up the most space. Sanitize your furniture by disinfecting spray to kill dangerous germs and pathogens. 

 3. Find A Car & Movers

If you have to move within the same area and there is a car, some people prefer to carry things in parts. So the "suitcase mood" can last for several weeks, but you will save on freight. Do ask your movers about the necessary precautionary measures during pandemic. Do check they use gloves and wear mask while moving your furniture to stop the spread of coronavirus. 

 4. Stock Up On Packing Materials

Few now subscribe to periodicals, and newspapers were and remain an excellent packaging for dishes and interior items. A regular and pimpled film will come in handy, which will protect fragile things on the road. Most of these you will be packing in boxes that you can buy in bulk online or ask your nearest shoe store. 

 5. Deal with Bills & Parcels

Just before you move, check your utility bills and decide what to do with the internet and cable TV. Most providers provide a service for transferring the contract to a new address or transferring it to another responsible person.

 To do this, you will need to go to the office with a new network user and re-sign the documents. Or you can refuse services and terminate the contract, this can be done upon application via e-mail. 

 6. Pack Your Things

Do not postpone the collection of things until the last days, clean them up with disinfectant solution or spray in advance without fuss and rush. If you are going to move in the summer, you can pack winter clothes and shoes.

 For a week, leave your clothes, the books you are reading now, and the dishes you use often, and put away the rest. A couple of days before departure, you can get by with the essentials by packing most of your things and disinfecting them with good disinfecting solutions. 

 7. Prepare A New Apartment

Disinfect the whole apartment by hiring good real estate cleaning service providers. Sanitize door handles, windows and floor to kill germs. It is better to use alcohol spray and sanitizers to kill coronavirus from the surface. 

Protect door slopes before bringing in furniture: they are often bumped when carrying large items. It is also better to cover the floors with foil or newspapers, because the movers will not take off their shoes when they bring in each box. 

 8. Warn Friends, Colleagues & Neighbors

It is worth taking a couple of days off during the move, during which you are unlikely to deal with work issues. By notifying your friends, you can enlist their help, extra hands when moving will come in handy, even if you hire professionals. 

Avoid meeting your friends or neighbors as it increases the chances of spreading of coronavirus. Text or call them if you want any help. 

Hope this article is helpful if you are moving to new apartment during pandemic. Keep these safety tips and precautionary measures in mind for safety of you and your family!

Medical Pharmacy Role in Modern Health Care System

The health system is being affected by several factors such as increased life expectancy and chronicity. The growth of multipath logical and polymedicated patients already accounts for 80 percent of healthcare spending. This new reality forces the system to adapt and ensure proper management and care of patients.

According to a population survey conducted in May 2019, 96% of the Estonian population believes that a pharmacist should be based primarily on the patient's needs. 77% of respondents want pharmacies to be independent of the business interests of wholesalers in their activities (McKinsey Global Publishing, The Recovery Will Be Digital)

Pharmacies play a significant role in the healthcare system, especially during the current pandemic. They are very important to fulfill the needs of patients across the globe. Coronavirus has increased the number of pharmacies as medicine demand drastically increases from 2020. It is estimated that there is a 70% increase in the market for medicine across the globe, especially respiratory system medicines and vaccinations (The Pandemic & the Pharmaceutical World, 2020) 

In this article, we have discussed five significant roles of medical pharmacy in the modern health care system 

 1- Health Promotion

Health education and disease prevention are vital features of pharmaceutical care and allow educating the patient and reduce potential risk factors. In chronic diseases such as epilepsy, diabetes, or hypertension, pharmaceutical advice is of vital importance to address the doubts that arise in the patient's day-to-day life beyond the problems related to medication.

The training necessary for this requires time, but it can mean a substantial improvement in adherence, compliance with pharmacological treatments, reduction of associated problems, and even reduction of future hospital readmissions. Many medical centers in San Diego provide pharmaceutical training to train workers. 

 2- New Technologies & Professional Services

One of the most necessary steps to integrate the pharmacist into the health system and offer care value is through coordination with the doctor that allows monitoring of the patient. This is one of the areas of pharmacy in which new technologies will play a vital role in the future: 

The pharmacist's access to an electronic and shared medical record

Always respecting data protection

Would allow the needs of the patient to be detected and shared information with other agents

Reducing the number of dispensations

From here, the possibilities include synchronizing the patient's medication with automatic notifications, and having tools that allow online communication between pharmacist and patient. 

 3- Providing Medicines To Remote Areas

The role of pharmacies is to provide medicines to remote areas with no medical facilities, and people die because of diseases such as cancer, respiratory infection, epilepsy, and diabetes. 

There is no awareness about breast cancer, and women suffer from other disorders in such areas because of a lack of knowledge. Pharmacies provide an understanding of such diseases and provide medicines and vaccines to save people's lives. 

In remote areas, people face difficulties due to the unavailability of medicines and facilities. When a pharmacy is not available, nearby many patients lose their life due to the unavailability of medication due to many reasons such as extreme weather, lack of transportation, or patients being too sick to travel the long distance to the nearest pharmacy.

 4- Awareness Of Rare Diseases 

People are still not aware of some of the diseases and physiological disorders that take many lives. Building awareness of rare diseases is so important because 1 in 20 people will live with a rare disease at some point in their life. Despite this, there is no cure for the majority of rare diseases, and many go undiagnosed. 

Rare disease day celebrated across the globe by pharmaceutical companies improves knowledge among the general public of rare diseases while encouraging researchers and decision-makers to address the needs of those living with rare diseases.   

 5- Equal Distribution Of Medicines 

It is the pharmacy's job to ensure that there should be equal distribution of medicines in all the areas of state or country. There is an unequal distribution of medication in some countries, and medicines are not supplied to remote locations, creating problems for people. 

The role of pharmacies is to ensure that there should be equal distribution of medicines. If there is any such case in which unequal drugs are distributed among people, then serious legal actions should be taken against such pharmaceutical stores.   

Hope this article is helpful for you to know the role of medical pharmacies in the modern healthcare system.

Cervical Dystonia Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

What Is Cervical Dystonia?

Cervical dystonia is also called spasmodic torticollis. It is a painful condition in which neck muscles contract involuntarily which causes your head to twist or turn to one side. It also causes your head to uncontrollably tilt forward or backward.

It is rare and may occur at any age. It is common in middle-aged people and women more than in men. Symptoms generally begin gradually and then reach a point where they don’t get substantially worse. There is no cure for cervical dystonia. The disorder sometimes resolves without treatment, but sustained remissions are uncommon. Injecting botulinum toxin into the affected muscles often reduces the signs and symptoms of cervical dystonia. Surgery may be appropriate in a few cases.

In severe cases, cervical dystonia has a psychogenic cause. In this type of dystonia, the pathophysiology is not well-understood; however, changes in brain function have been detected by functional neuroimaging. In many cases, an emotional stressor or an abnormal core of beliefs is identified as a trigger. In such cases, a multidisciplinary team, including a neurologist, psychiatrist, and psychologist, is necessary.

What Are The Symptoms Of Cervical Dystonia?

In cervical dystonia, pain is the most challenging and frequent symptom. The pain usually occurs at nighttime in the head. Cervical dystonia is characterized by twisting of head and chin sideways towards shoulders called torticollis. Other abnormal activities in this condition include

tipping forward, chin downward, known as anterocollis

tilting backward, chin upward called retro Collis

tilting sideways, ear to shoulder, known as anterocollis

Some patients face a combination of these abnormal activities and symptoms may vary over time, age and gender. Excitement, frustration, anxiety, and stress are also major symptoms of cervical dystonia. Other symptoms begin gradually and get worse if not treated on time

Raised shoulder

Hand tremors

Severe headache in one side of the head

Enlargement of the neck muscle, affecting about 75 percent of people with cervical dystonia

Unawareness of physical movements not affected by dystonia

In cervical dystonia unilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle causes head rotation on the opposite side. Rotation may involve any plane but almost always has a horizontal component. Besides rotational tilting (torticollis), the head can tilt laterally (anterocollis), forward (anterocollis), or backward (retro Collis, common when dopamine-blocking drugs are the cause).

Have you noticed any of these symptoms discussed above? Pain Relief Solutions provides effective cervical dystonia treatment in San Diego. Book your appointment now or get a free consultation on all your pain problems!

What Are The Causes Of Cervical Dystonia?

The cause of cervical dystonia isn’t known but possible causes include

Intake of medications that block dopamine such as antipsychotics

A severe injury in the neck, head, or shoulder

Genetic mutation (20–25% of people suffering from cervical dystonia may have this disease in the family)

A psychological problem

Environmental factors

Chronic pain can be reduced by integrative health practices such as natural supplements, exercise, and yoga. Physical therapies such as Ming body techniques and walk help in reducing pain by improving function and movement after disability or injury.    

According to the 2012 National Health Interview Survey, approximately 9.5% (22 million) of adults practiced yoga to get rid of chronic pain without any medication and surgery.

There is often a desire to lose weight "in the same place." There are different types of figures (popularly called "pear", "apple") with a clear localization of fat traps. And the slightest relaxation of the diet or a decrease in physical activity necessarily leads to the formation of fatty deposits in problem areas, for example, in the area of ​​breeches or at the waist.

3- Edema Reduction & Cell Renewal

Micro-massage of cells with ultrasound helps in reducing edema and cell renewal. The skin at the site of exposure becomes smoother and more elastic.

The body contouring machine emits low-frequency ultrasonic waves that penetrate the skin and are collected in the fatty tissue. The mechanical energy of the wave turns into thermal energy, which leads to increased metabolism and activation of lipolysis.

Ultrasound gently breaks up the adipose tissue, after which the fat molecules leave the body naturally. No bruises or scars remain on the skin after exposure.

4- Blood Circulation

Body contouring improves blood circulation and lymph drainage and activates lipolysis. The mechanical effect on the skin leads to the active synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, as a result, the skin becomes more radiant and youthful, the severity of stretch marks and cellulite decreases.

It is used to eliminate excess volume in the area, abdomen, arms, thighs and buttocks and double chin

10 Things to Know About Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning In 2021

Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning requires some knowledge. Although at first, it may seem simple, utensils and cleaning products must be chosen carefully. Another important aspect that plays a considerable role in the cleaning of the kitchen hood. Cleaning the range hood consists mainly of keeping the filters clean. This article explains how range hoods work and why you should clean them regularly. It also summarizes the importance of hood cleaning.

Let's have an eye on eight things you should know about kitchen exhaust hood cleaning in 2021

 1-      What Is Kitchen Exhaust?

In the kitchen, especially in the commercial kitchen, there is a device known as an exhaust hood. It is placed on the top of the fryer, grill, stove, or any other kitchen appliance that cooks. It collects grease, smoke, and odor from food and stops it from spreading into the kitchen.

2-      Why Do Kitchen Exhaust Hood Require Cleaning?

When you cook the food particles, dust and grease accumulate in the hood which can cause fire and improper flow of smoke in the kitchen. It is important to clean the kitchen hood for the proper removal of odor and smoke from the kitchen.  

3-      How Often Should You Clean The Kitchen Hood?

The cleaning of the extractor hood depends on the frequency of cooking activity. This means that the more you use your kitchen or cook with grease, the more often you will need to clean the range hood. After all, every time you cook, greasy fumes accumulate in the filter. 

Regardless of the type of filter you use, no filter has an unlimited absorption capacity. If you cook every day, you should clean the cooker hood and filter regularly every 2-4 weeks. Fats and oils, along with dust and dirt particles that can stick to metal filters for too long, get clogged. This process should be avoided.

4-      Why Is Cleaning the Extractor Hood So Important?

Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning should not be taken lightly. Although the health consequences are gradual, they can lead to serious illness. The consequences of insufficient and irregular cleaning can be the following:

 -  Lack of ventilation and dripping dirt

- The appearance of mold spores in the kitchen

- The appearance of bacteria in the air

- Heavy traces of grease that get stuck

- Bad smells

- Damage to the extractor hood

- Optical damage

 5-      Do A Non-Commercial Kitchen Need Hood Cleaning?

 Yes! They do need hood cleaning.

The non-commercial kitchen extractor easily collects large amounts of grease, smoke, and dirt. For this reason, kitchen exhaust hood cleaning is essential for it to function at full capacity. However, this process is not so simple, as it is difficult to access certain areas of the hood.

6-      What Is The Role Of Carbon Filters In Kitchen Hoods?

In addition to the metal filter, the activated carbon filter should also be replaced or cleaned every 10 to 12 weeks. It not only serves to eliminate odors but also controls the effective performance of the cooker hood. Especially in the case of recirculation hoods, the filter serves to eliminate the bad odors that appear when you cook.

7-      Why Is Carbon Filter Cleaning Is Consider Most Important In Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning?

If you don't clean or replace the activated carbon filter regularly, the cooker hood will stop working effectively. This means that the range hood will no longer be able to reliably filter odors. Also, grease can drip from the filter onto the kitchen surface over time. In the worst case, the grease residue can even lead to the accumulation of bacteria and mold spores. This poses a serious risk to sensitive people and children.

8-      Why Kitchen Hoods Without Grease Filters Are Difficult To Clean?

Cleaning a cooker hood without a grease filter requires a little more attention. Models of this type collect fat in a special container. It should also be cleaned regularly. Periodic cleaning of the extractor hood is inevitable, even with the most modern and efficient model you cannot stop doing it.

9-      Why Cleaning Kitchen Hood From Inside Is Important?

You should not only clean the cooker hood from the outside but also the internal parts. In this way, you will get a complete cleaning and not half. When cleaning your range hood, you will be surprised to see how much dirt has built up over time. The extractor hood is mainly used to minimize and eliminate bad odors. However, the accumulation of dirt particles in the process cannot be avoided.

10-  How Do You Know Whether You Need To Clean Your Kitchen Hood?

It's time to clean your kitchen hood in case you notice dust residue, dirt and grease inside or outside the hood. In case you smell the odor in the kitchen or the hood is not able to properly remove smoke from the kitchen then it is time to clean your hood.

[daniellesims]

6 Reasons You Need Professionals for Your Hood Cleaning Service 

Usually, the cooking process is accompanied by the appearance of various odors, including unpleasant ones. Natural ventilation is not sufficient to remove these aromas. Therefore, a must-have attribute of a modern kitchen is a cooker hood, which ensures clean air and a comfortable microclimate in the kitchen.

But since residues of combustion products, fumes from cooking food, as well as other fat-containing substances constantly pass through the hood, plaque settles on its surfaces, which over time begins to interfere with the free movement of air, reduces efficiency, and may even cause a fire. And if you do not find out promptly how to clean the hood and do not perform this simple procedure, you will soon have to repair the kitchen hood.

Kitchens, given their long operation, accumulate much more dirt than other areas of your home kitchens. Cleaning them is a real problem, as access to the extractor systems is complicated and dangerous.

To give you an exact idea of ​​how important kitchen hood cleaning is, we will tell you that 80% of the fires that occur in kitchens for large communities are due to improper cleaning of the hoods and smoke extraction, inside which the fats accumulated become liquid and can leak and reach the joints of the ducts, both inside and outside the extraction installation itself. Hood cleaning improves the performance of the extraction system and prevents product contamination, as well as the generation of bad odors, vapors, and fumes.

The cleaning of fume hoods and extractor fans is always needed in industrial kitchens because we can avoid greater evils such as fires, pollution, bad smells in business, etc. But it is also essential because, if we do not do it, irreversible damage can occur in the extraction facilities themselves.

Let’s have an eye on six reasons you need professionals for your hood cleaning service in Los Angeles

1- Fire Prevention

The grease accumulated in hoods and filters is a highly flammable substance and, in addition, it is located just above the fire. More than half of the fires in premises that have to do with the catering sector are due precisely to the lack of cleaning of extractor hoods and kitchen filters.

2- Healthiness

The kitchen is the main source of infections, even ahead of the bathroom. The humidity, heat, and organic matter that is handled in it are sufficient conditions for the development of bacteria, fungi, and pests (mold, salmonella, etc.). This compromises, of course, the health of your family. Protect yourself from infection by regularly cleaning your range hoods and cleaning your kitchen filters by hiring a professional hood cleaning service in Los Angeles.

3- The Welfare Of Workers & Clients

A dirty kitchen generates more smoke and heat than a clean one, not to mention bad smells. If your cooks do not feel comfortable in their workspace, their performance will decrease. And it is clear that a smelly place is not the best way to attract customers, do you think? Make both your staff and your customers feel comfortable by cleaning your kitchen and extraction systems.

4- Extraction Equipment Efficiency

The fat accumulated in the hood and the filters close the ducts, until the suction system is practically inoperative, which will also increase your energy expenditure. Extend the life of your appliances and optimize their operation by hiring professional hood cleaning services in Los Angeles for cleaning extractors and filters.

5- Prestige For Your Business

Periodic health inspections are more and more frequent. No customer will want to set foot on your premises if it is not capable of successfully passing them. Consolidate confidence in your business to make it a safe reference in the sector for potential clients.

6- To Avoid Accidents

The cleaning hoods and fume extractors are essential to avoid many problems and mishaps that cause damage. If, in addition, you have an industrial kitchen because you run a restaurant, a bar, a dining room, a hotel, or another business or company of large communities, you should know that this cleaning has to be even more exhaustive and is mandatory.

Why? Because due to the large amount of grease that can accumulate in the extractor hoods, extraction ducts, motors, or filters, the risk of serious accidents is increased.

Hope the reasons discussed above are helpful if you are planning to hire a professional hood cleaning services in Los Angeles.

COVID-19 has disturbed our lives and people are constantly battling to fight the novel virus. People miss the places they frequented pre-pandemic and (in many cases) they must return in-person to their workplaces. Despite these feelings of longing or urgency, they remain apprehensive about returning.

During a pandemic, small businesses and companies need to take care of their employee’s health and safety. There is an increase in demand for electrostatic disinfection services providers as companies want to create a safe and clean work environment for their employees.

Electrostatic disinfecting is effective disinfecting technology to clean surfaces. Wipe/spray methods of disinfecting are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and outdated. These methods are not able to kill harmful germs and pathogens.

In electrostatic disinfecting manual trigger sprays and fogging systems are used to deliver very small droplets on surfaces to kill germs and pathogens. Electrostatic disinfection is effective for cleaning germs as a disinfectant is applied with low-pressure spray on crevices and undersides.

With the rise of Covid-19's unique obstacle, conventional cleaning methods aren't satisfactorily to reduce the risk of virus spreading. Efficient methods are needed to decontaminate spaces after manual cleaning of dirty areas. 

Electrostatic disinfection is the one way that can provide rapid and effective decontamination of surfaces. According to researchers of the US National Library of Medicine, unlike conventional spraying methods, electrostatic sprayers are 29 times better at reaching the backsides of target surfaces. Electrostatic disinfection is also more efficient than manual application at reducing pathogens. 

What Is Electrostatic Disinfection? 

Electrostatic disinfection is a process in which surfaces are disinfected with electrically charged particles. This is done by using an electrostatic applicator that gives a negative charge to the disinfectant as it comes out of the nozzle. This results in thorough disinfection of spaces, including hard-to-reach places or oddly shaped objects. 

Added with that, Electrostatic disinfection paired with the right chemicals is our number one recommendation for coronavirus disinfection.

How Does Electrostatic Disinfection Work?

The science behind it is detailed, but in the simplest of terms, electrostatic disinfecting works by atomizing a charge to a solution so that it electromagnetically sticks to a targeted surface area, providing 360-degree coverage, wrapping the target fully without a dead zone.

In the end, it creates an active antimicrobial shield that seals the entire disinfected area to make sure the protection lasts long. 

What Are The Benefits Of Electrostatic Disinfection Over Traditional Cleaning? 

Electrostatic spray technology makes the sanitizing process smoother in a lot of ways. Some of these are just matters of convenience, while others make your disinfecting process safer and more comprehensive. 

Some of these benefits include:

No heavy or bulky equipment is required; cleaners use mobile backpacks and spray guns. 

Less time and effort for more excellent disinfectant coverage of large areas.

Thorough disinfection of spaces that are usually hard to disinfect.

Preventing the spread of viruses and infections like influenza, HIV, or COVID-19.

Reducing the chances of overusing your disinfectant solutions.

Providing an even layer of spray disinfects; meaning that your disinfecting crew can disinfect surfaces without ever having to touch them. 

How Long Does Electrostatic Disinfection Last?

Electrostatic disinfection does not create a protective barrier that can last long. It indeed kills and wipes away deadly pathogens, germs, and viruses over a targeted surface, but it will not stop the area from becoming contaminated again.

However, regular electrostatic disinfection is required to fight against deadly viruses. 

How Much Does Electrostatic Disinfection Cost?

Electrostatic disinfection is among the most effective ways of lowering infection rates, reducing costs, and creating a healthier environment. 

Its estimated price can be started from $1000 and can be exceeded to $5,000. It all depends on the disinfecting services you choose, or the size and layout of the space will determine the exact cost of the disinfection service.
