Noro Solution at QuickMedical

From YAHOO Health: "Health authorities in New Zealand said Monday that about 200 passengers on a cruise ship have been sickened by an outbreak of norovirus.

The passengers were among more than 1,500 aboard the Dawn Princess, which was due to leave for Australia Monday as it completes a 13-day voyage. The ship is operated by Princess Cruises, a division of Miami-based Carnival Corp.

Dr. Alistair Humphrey, the medical officer of health for Canterbury, said health officials conducted tests which confirmed the illness is norovirus. He said the outbreak now appears to be waning.

The gastrointestinal illness typically lasts one to three days and can cause stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.

Princess Cruises said in a statement that affected passengers were isolated in their cabins until they were considered no longer contagious and that crew members had disinfected surfaces like railings, door handles and elevator buttons. Crew members had also encouraged passengers to wash their hands correctly and use sanitizing gels, the cruise operator said."

The best way to protect your facility against noroviruses are touchless Germstar Noro Solution dispensers.

GermStar's Noro solution was designed specifically for the cruise line industry where the highly contagious norovirus is easily spread. GermStar's Noro Solution is formulated from 63% ethyl alcohol as well as proprietary ingredients which maximize effectiveness against norovirus.

Prevent Skin Cancer

Skin cancer detection month ended in May, but that doesn't mean it's time to stop being wary of the dangers of skin cancer. Taking good care of your skin is vital during the bright sunny days of summer. Yahoo health reports, "according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, adults who use sunscreen with SPF 16 and above can cut their risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, in half."

Using sunscreen and using it properly is vital in protecting yourself from skin cancer. Consumer Reports found that unfortunately many sunscreens don't actually provide the SPF they promise when they come into contact with water. In fact the FDA has limited the use of the term "waterproof" on many sunscreen products. What is SPF and how do you find a high SPF sunscreen? Click ahead for more information on this common term.

SPF stands for sun protection factor. It is an imperfect measurement. According to the UCSF school of medicine, the SPF rating is a measure of "how long a sunscreen remains effective on the skin." The effectiveness of a sun block can be determined "by multiplying the SPF factor by the length of time it takes for him or her to suffer a burn without sunscreen." Thus, if a person develops a sunburn in 10 minutes when not wearing a sun block, the same person will prevent sunburn for 150 minutes if he/she wears a sun block with a SPF of 15. Consequently, SPF 100 is not twice as strong as SPF 50-- it's about 1% as strong.

With this information it's important to use a high SPF, and follow all directions associated with use to adequately protect your skin from the sun. But that's not all you can do. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that everyone do a monthly self-examination of their skin to look for any changing or new lesions. These may be early-stage skin cancer, and can be easily removed and therefore easy to prevent.

Unfortunately invisible damage and skin aging are also caused by ultraviolet light which does not cause skin reddening or pain. Conventional sunscreen blocks very little ultraviolet radiation relative to the SPF. UV light has been found to increase the risk of melanoma. The best and only protection for this type of sun exposure is to cover up with hats, shirts, and sleeves.

Take good care of your skin this summer, check often for early signs of melanoma, and see yourdermatologist if you have any questions or concerns.

Where Can I Buy Tongue Depressors?

A simple question, but not necessarily a simple answer from a truth-seeker on Facebook.

Q. Where can I buy tongue depressors?

We're not medical professionals, so we can't give you medical advice, but when it comes to tongue depressors, we know a few things. You might call them tongue blades, popsicle sticks, or something else, but wooden tongue depressors are a medical supply that QuickMedical offers at some of the best prices online. Click ahead to read about where to buyaffordable tongue depressors.

Tongue depressors are disposable medical supplies used in medical exams by physicians and nurses to push down the tongue to allow for a mouth and throat exam. The most common modern tongue depressors have a thin wooden blade smoothed and rounded at both ends. They are made from a variety of materials. They are inexpensive and difficult to clean, therefore they are mainly used for only a single use. Sometimes tongue depressors are called "craft sticks" or "Meyerhoffer sticks" and are used in art and crafts projects.

Tongue depressors for medical use come in pediatric and adult sizes and are also sold by the box or case. Tongue depressors in bulk packaging are useful for spa and industrial applications. QuickMedical is your online source for tongue depressors of different sizes and sale quantity options.

Why Should My Clinic Consider Electrosurgery?

I've read online that many surgical procedures are moving out of the traditional operating room and into the doctor's office. As a family practice doctor, should I consider an electrosurgical unit for my clinic?

Wondering Doc

Most surgeons refer to their electrosurgical equipment or accessories as their "Bovie." But a Bovie isn't just for surgeons. If you perform any surgical procedure that requires cutting, and want to control bleeding easily and efficiently, you should definitely consider electrosurgery, Wondering Doc. Click ahead to read more about how electrosurgery can benefit your clinic.

The first use of an electrosurgical generator in an operating room was on October 1, 1926, at Peter Bent, Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. A few days earlier, Dr. Cushing had been unsuccessful in removing a mass from a patient's head due to its highly vascular nature. In Dr. Cushing's notes from October 1st he wrote, "...with Dr. Bovie's help I proceeded to take off most satisfactorily the remaining portion of tumor with practically none of the bleeding which was occasioned in the preceding operation." From the most basic wart removal, spider veins, or hair removal, to intricate heart surgery, electrosurgery has become a part of almost 80% of all surgical procedures.

Although we're aware you won't be doing any heart surgery in your family practice office, Wondering Doc, it's important to know that there is an electrosurgical device that fits your needs. For the small procedures your patients might want performed inside the office, Bovie electrosugery systems at QuickMedical might be the ideal solution. Bovie digital electrosurgical generators are designed for use in a variety of applications, including, but not limited to dermatology, gynecology, and urology. Is electrosurgery right for your family practice? It might be. Contact QuickMedical and a trained product specialist can help your clinic find the right electrosurgical system.
