Nails have to be kept short for massage, so not to scratch our clients, they must be cleaned throughout the day, to avoid cross infection, and also not wearing any polish even base coasts should be kept clear off as they could lead to an infection. Also False nails

aeruginosa, the bacteria responsible for the not-uncommon green, mold-like stain that can develop between the artificial and natural nail * Onychomycosis, also known as tinea unguium, fungal infection of the nail. More than 35 million people in the United States are infected with this fungusElements of proper hand and nail careBasic standard for proper hand and nail care are regulated by several organizations: 1. Nail care * Natural nails should be kept short and clean (less than 0.5 cm long or approximately ¼ inch long) * Do NOT wear artificial fingernails, extenders, or nail polish while handling food * According to the WHO, World Health Organization * Scrub the underside of nails with soap and water (or a nail brush) every time you wash your hands * Clean any nail grooming tools before use * Sterilize nail grooming tools before use when nail tools are shared among a number of people * Avoid biting or chewing nails * Avoid cutting cuticles, as they act as barriers to prevent infection * According to the CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2. Jewelry * Hand and wrist jewelry should be removed while handling food * All rings, bracelets, watches and necklaces must be removed before preparing food. * They are hard to keep clean and pose a safety hazard if they catch on equipment or

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide problem that is currently three times higher for African Americans, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, American Indians and seniors (The National Kidney Foundation, 2013). CKD occurs when the kidneys are damaged by a pathogen or injury and they can no longer adequately maintain proper levels of regulated chemicals in the bloodstream. There are many risk associated with CKD. According to the National Kidney Foundation, two of the major risks are Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and Cardiovascular Disease. Currently twenty million American adults have CKD and millions of others are at increased risk. Age has no barrier on getting CKD. People with pre-existing health issues, and a part of certain population

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a disease that is described as a loss of kidney function gradually over time. As kidney function decreases, the waste collection in the body’s blood becomes high and makes the individual feel sick. This disease can lead to other complications in the body such as anemia, poor nutritional health, high blood pressure, and nerve damage. These complications will begin to progress and show as CKD progresses to advanced stages. Early detection of this disease is essential when it comes to treatment. If CKD is diagnosed early enough the disease progression can be slowed down and managed. This disease will eventually lead to failure of the kidneys

Melonoma is a well-known cancer that usually is related to sun exposure, but this one is not caused by the sun. What most people don’t realize is that it can occur in the nails. Both fingernails and toenails can be effected, so this paper will just talk about nail cancer in general. This is called subungual melanoma, which means the cancer comes from under the nail matrix. Subungual melanoma is a malignant melonoma that is “a rare manifestation of cutaneous melamona (occurring in 0.7% to 3% of cases). In fact, there are two other kinds of nail cancers, ungual melanoma which comes from the nail plate, and periungual melanoma which comes from the skin beside the nail plate. Nail cancer is rare and only about 1% of people

Nails are not just an aesthetic feature of your body, they can tell a lot about your physical health! When the nails start to grow in a different shape or even change their colour, it usually is a sign that something might be wrong with your health. American Academy of Dermatology agrees to this, according to their study - "Nails often reflect our general state of health. Changes in the nail, such as discoloration or thickening, can signal health problems including liver and kidney diseases, heart and lung conditions, anemia, and diabetes." In many cases, the changes to your nails can point to some undiagnosed disease(s).

About 1 in 50 people develop some type of psoriasis at time in their lives. The severity of the nail psoriasis is determined on the MNAPSI score. According to the National Psoriasis foundation, nail psoriasis tends to occur more on fingernails than toe nails. In men, nail psoriasis is more prevalent accounting to about 11% more the prevalence in females (Augustin et al, 2010). Patients with nail psoriasis usually have nails with pits, onycholysis-where the nail becomes detached from the nail bed, subungual hyperkeratosis-where some whitish materials gather under the nail and causes it to rise, and

The condition of fingernails is often overlooked and, for some people, not something to be proud of. Nails are often dirty, chipped, uneven, or hidden under a fake nail. A lot can be learned about a person’s health just by looking at their nails. An important breakthrough of this discovery is the ability to determine whether a person has human immunodeficiency virus, or as it is better known, HIV. How can a serious disease be discovered by looking at a nail? It all lies on the lunula. The lunula is the white part of the fingernail or toenail. People who have been diagnosed with HIV have one thing in common: they have a disappearing lunula. The absence of the lunula is referred to as anolunula. There have been two studies done in the past 20 years that try to confirm whether examining

This condition is diagnosed with a medical history and physical exam. Your health care provider may take a sample from your toenail to check for the fungus.

Nail complications: disorders affecting the nails make up around 10% of all dermatological disorders. About half of these are fungal infections, with malformed nails also quite common. Nail problems can be indicative of other underlying illnesses, with the nails often imitating overall

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as structural or functional kidney damage or a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less that 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 for at least 3 months.1 Approximately 1 of 3 adults with diabetes and 1 of 5 adults with high blood pressure has CKD.2 We estimate that more than 10% of adults in the United States (more than 20 million people) may have CKD. Men with CKD are 50% more likely than women to have kidney failure.2 Due to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, individuals with CKD are 16 to 40 times more likely to die than to reach ESRD.2

The introduction of dialysis as a lifesaving treatment for kidney failure was not the result for any large scale research

Bone Disease: CKD decreases the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, calcitriol (1, 25 vitamin D), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (Shemin, 2014). The kidneys filter phosphorus, which is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (Shemin, 2014). In CKD, as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases, the serum level of phosphorus will increase due to the decrease in the excretion of phosphorus (Shemin, 2014). With a high phosphorus level the concentration of calcium is decreased due to a higher amount of calcium binding to phosphorus (Shemin, 2014). CKD will also decrease the amount of calcitriol present. Calcitriol is used to absorb

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an irreversible condition that progresses causing kidney dysfunction and then to kidney failure. It is classified by a GFR of <60mL/min for longer than 3 months. There are five stages of CKD: Stage 1 has kidney damage but has a GFR ≥ 90. Stage 2 has mild damage and a GFR of 60-89. Stage 3 has moderate damage and a GFR of 30-59. Stage 4 has severe damage and a GFR of 15-29. Stage 5 is also known as end stage renal disease (ESRD), this is kidney failure with a GFR of ≤ 15 and theses patients are typically on dialysis or in need of an immediate transplant. The leading cause of CKD is diabetes. Hypertension is also a major cause. Since most DM patients have HTN,

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is among the leading causes of mortality throughout the world, and its prevalence and the health care costs resulting from it are considerable and increasing. CKD commonly is silent and asymptomatic until its late stages. Accordingly, CKD is diagnosed prior to symptomatic stage of kidney failure, resulting in delays in proper interventions and the emergence of adverse consequences in the CKD patients
