Diverticulitis

by Jabari
written by Jabari

A condition known as diverticulitis can afflict individuals who have diverticulosis, which is characterized by tiny pockets inside the colon. Inflammation within the pocket may result from injury or infection in one of the pockets. Diverticulitis may be the cause of a sharp discomfort in the lower left quadrant of your abdomen.

Overview

What is diverticulitis?

Diverticulitis is inflammation in your diverticula, which are small pockets that can develop on the inside of your colon. Having diverticula is called diverticulosis. It’s common as you get older, and most people never have any problems with it. But if one of your diverticula becomes inflamed, it can cause acute pain and other symptoms. It might mean that it has an infection, which needs medical attention.

How common is diverticulitis?

Diverticulitis is a rare complication, although diverticulosis is a common condition. About 4% of patients with diverticulosis are affected. You have a 20% chance of getting it again after you’ve once had it.

Are there different types of diverticulitis?

Healthcare providers classify diverticulitis as acute or chronic and as complicated or uncomplicated.

Acute/chronic

Diverticulitis begins as an acute problem, which means that it comes on suddenly and goes away shortly with treatment. But some people have recurring (repeat) episodes of diverticulitis, and some people develop chronic inflammation. There are different theories about why this happens. It may be because an acute episode didn’t heal completely, or it may be related to another chronic condition in your colon.

Complicated/uncomplicated

Most of the time, diverticulitis is uncomplicated, which means that inflammation and possible infection are the extents of the problem. It heals easily with the right treatment. Diverticulitis becomes complicated when the inflammation begins to cause secondary problems. For example, severe acute inflammation may cause a diverticulum (singular of diverticula) to rupture. Chronic inflammation may cause scarring.

Symptoms and Causes

What are the symptoms of diverticulitis?

Symptoms may include:

  • Abdominal pain, often severe.
  • Distended abdomen or palpable colon (you can feel it with your hand).
  • Fever.
  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Rectal bleeding.
  • Constipation or, less commonly, diarrhea.

What does a diverticulitis attack or flare-up feel like?

Whether you’re having an acute diverticulitis attack or a flare-up of chronic diverticulitis, the pain will be similar. An acute attack may come on more suddenly, while a chronic flare-up may build up over a few days. You should be able to locate it in the precise spot where your diverticulum has become inflamed. It may feel sharp and penetrating or have a burning quality. The pain is usually moderate to severe.

Where is diverticulitis pain located?

In people of European descent, diverticula most often occur in the last part of the colon, called the sigmoid colon. This segment begins on your lower left side and tilts slightly to the right to meet your rectum. For this reason, most people feel diverticulitis pain in the lower left quadrant of their abdomen. Occasionally, lower abdominal pain may also spread to your pelvis or radiate to your back.

Diverticulosis in the upper right quadrant of the colon, the first segment of the colon, is more common in people of Asian heritage. This case of diverticulitis may result in upper abdominal pain.

What causes diverticulitis?

Inflammation in your diverticula often involves a tear in the lining and infection, though it’s not always clear which came first. On one hand, diverticula make great hiding places for bacteria to set up camp and multiply. This might happen if, for example, some poop gets stuck in one of them. A bacterial infection might trigger inflammation, and inflammation might cause a diverticulum to swell and tear.

On the other hand, if a diverticulum tears for another reason, it can easily become infected by normal levels of bacteria living in your colon. It might tear if hard poop stretches it while passing through, or if it’s been affected by general colitis (inflammation in your colon). Some studies have suggested that cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in your colon might be a significant factor in triggering diverticulitis.

Is diverticulitis hereditary?

Diverticulitis seems to occur incidentally (by chance). But genetics might be partly involved in getting diverticulosis. Although you aren’t born with diverticulosis, you’re more likely to develop it in a certain part of your colon if you’re of European or Asian descent. It’s also possible that genetics could influence your likelihood of developing chronic inflammation. More research is needed on this subject.

What are the possible complications of diverticulitis?

Diverticulitis is uncomplicated 80% of the time. But severe or persistent diverticulitis can lead to complications such as:

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding: Bleeding from diverticula can be severe and lead to anemia.
  • Intestinal obstruction: Severe swelling might cause your colon to temporarily narrow. Chronic swelling might cause scarring (stricture), which can cause more permanent narrowing.
  • Fistulas. An inflamed and eroded colon wall might fuse to another body canal (such as your small intestine, bladder or vagina), creating an inappropriate tunnel between the two.
  • Bladder inflammation: Diverticulitis that’s close to your bladder may irritate it. A fistula to your bladder may also spread an infection there.
  • Abscess: An abscess is a pocket of infected pus that may need to be drained. If it ruptures, it can infect your peritoneal cavity (peritonitis). This is an emergency.
  • Gastrointestinal perforation: If a diverticulum becomes swollen enough to rupture (tear), it could allow intestinal bacteria to leak into your peritoneal cavity. Peritonitis can lead to sepsis.

What are the signs of complicated diverticulitis?

You might’ve developed complications if you notice:

  • Fresh blood in your poop.
  • Paleness in your face or you feel weak.
  • You feel like you need to pee often or irritation when you pee.
  • Your abdomen is rigid and sensitive to touch.

Diagnosis and Tests

How is diverticulitis diagnosed?

If you and your healthcare provider already know that you have diverticulosis, they might recognize your symptoms as possible diverticulitis. But people often don’t know, and the symptoms of diverticulitis can resemble many other conditions. Your healthcare provider may begin with some routine tests to rule out other causes, such as a blood test (comprehensive metabolic panel), stool test or urine test.

When your provider suspects diverticulitis, they’ll look for it on imaging tests. A CT scan works well: it’s quick and can show the extent of the inflammation as well as any related complications. In some cases, your provider might need to look inside your colon with a lighted scope to investigate further. This is called a colonoscopy. They might be able to treat some complications during the colonoscopy.

Management and Treatment

Can diverticulitis go away on its own?

If it’s mild and uncomplicated, it can go away on its own. But you should still go to a healthcare provider to have it evaluated. They might need to give you antibiotics for an infection, and some people might need prescription pain medications. Your provider will also tell you how to care for yourself at home while you’re recovering. It takes about a week. They’ll want you to keep in touch during this time.

How do you treat diverticulitis at home?

If your healthcare provider has given you the go-ahead, you can treat diverticulitis at home with:

  • A liquid diet. Avoiding solid foods gives your bowels a chance to rest and recover from the disease. Your provider can give you more specific instructions on what to eat and when.
  • Prescription antibiotics. You may not need them, but if you do, your provider will give you some to take home with you. The type will depend on the kind of infection you have.
  • Acetaminophen. For over-the-counter (OTC) pain relief, it’s best to stick to acetaminophen (Tylenol®). Other common pain relievers could increase your risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

Drugs to avoid with diverticulitis

Healthcare providers suggest that you avoid NSAIDs when you have diverticulitis, as they can increase your risk of bleeding. NSAID stands for “nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.” These include:

  • Aspirin (Bayer® or St. Joseph®).
  • Ibuprofen (Motrin® or Advil®).
  • Naproxen sodium (Aleve®).

What happens if diverticulitis goes untreated?

You may not need treatment if you have a mild and uncomplicated case. But it’s important to see a healthcare provider about diverticulitis. If you don’t, you may end up with a more severe and complicated case. Certain infections may need to be treated with antibiotics or antivirals to go away. Inflammation that doesn’t go away may begin to cause secondary problems. Pain may also worsen.

How do you get diverticulitis to go away?

If conservative at-home treatment hasn’t worked, or if you have severe, chronic or complicated diverticulitis, you may need to stay in the hospital for treatment. Treatment may include:

  • IV medication. Your provider may give you antibiotics or antivirals through an IV line so that the medicine goes directly to your bloodstream. They may also give you pain relief this way. Some people may need strong analgesics, such as opioids.
  • Blood transfusion. If you’ve lost a lot of blood from a bleeding diverticulum, you may need an emergency blood transfusion to replace it.
  • Endoscopic procedures. Your provider might use a colonoscope or sigmoidoscope — different types of endoscopes that examine your colon — to treat minor complications. For example, they can often stop active bleeding, drain an abscess or open up a narrowed section of your bowel using tools passed through the endoscope.
  • Surgery. Some people may need surgery to treat an abscess, persistent bleed, perforation (tear) or fistula. In rare cases of chronic diverticulitis, some people may need to have the problematic section of their bowel removed (colectomy). This might involve a temporary colostomy.

Prevention

Can I prevent diverticulitis from occurring or returning?

Healthcare providers don’t know enough about why diverticulitis happens or why it returns to know definitively how to prevent it. But they suspect that general bowel wellness can help. Eating more plants and fewer animal fats, drinking enough water and getting some regular exercise can help keep your bowel movements healthy. For some people, they might recommend fiber supplements or probiotics.

Are there any dietary restrictions with diverticulosis or diverticulitis?

In the past, people with diverticulosis were told to avoid seeds and nuts, in case one might get stuck in a diverticulum and cause diverticulitis. This risk is considered mostly a myth today. Seeds and nuts are great sources of fiber and plant-based protein, and they tend to appear in healthy meals. It’s much better for your bowels to maintain a healthy diet overall than to worry about the rare chance of a seed going awry.

Outlook / Prognosis

What can I expect if I have this condition?

Only a small percentage of people will have complicated diverticulitis, and only a small percentage of those will need surgery. In most cases, even complicated diverticulitis resolves quickly and completely with treatment. Diverticulitis shouldn’t affect your overall life expectancy. Only in the unlikely event of a bowel perforation or a ruptured abscess would you be at risk of life-threatening complications.

Living With

What should I do if diverticulitis keeps coming back?

If diet and lifestyle improvements haven’t prevented diverticulitis from recurring, there might be other factors involved that put you more at risk. People with weakened immune systems are more prone to frequent infections and slower to recover. People with autoimmune diseases are more likely to have chronic inflammation. Even the balance of different bacteria living in your gut may affect your gut immunity.

Healthcare providers don’t always know why diverticulitis continues to return in some people. But if it’s returned more than once, and if it’s brought complications at least once, they might suggest an elective bowel resection to resolve it. That means removing the small section of your colon that’s causing the trouble. If it’s not an emergency, you can probably do this as a one-step surgery without a colostomy.

A note from Cleveland Clinic

Diverticulitis is an uncommon complication of diverticulosis. Diverticulitis that causes its own complications is even less common. But if it happens to you, you might need urgent care. See a healthcare provider right away for symptoms of diverticulitis. They’ll figure out what kind of treatment you need and whether you can treat it safely at home, or if you need to stay in the hospital for treatment.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

by Jabari
written by Jabari

A psychiatric illness known as borderline personality disorder (BPD) exists. Extreme mood swings, shaky relationships, and difficulty controlling their emotions are all characteristics of BPD patients. They are more likely to engage in self-destructive conduct and suicide. The primary method of treating BPD is talk therapy.

Overview

What is borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition marked by extreme mood fluctuations, instability in interpersonal relationships and impulsivity.

People with BPD have an intense fear of abandonment and have trouble regulating their emotions, especially anger. They also tend to show impulsive and dangerous behaviors, such as reckless driving and threatening self-harm. All of these behaviors make it difficult for them to maintain relationships at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Among the “Cluster B” personality disorders, which are characterized by dramatic and unpredictable actions, is borderline personality disorder. Chronic (long-term) dysfunctional behavior patterns that are rigid, common, and cause social problems and discomfort are known as personality disorders.

Many people who live with borderline personality disorder don’t know they have it and may not realize there’s a healthier way to behave and relate to others at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

What is the difference between borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder?

While bipolar disorder is also characterized by wide fluctuations in mood and behavior, it’s distinct from borderline personality disorder (BPD).

In BPD, mood and behavior change rapidly in response to significant stress, especially when interacting with other people, whereas in bipolar disorder, moods are more sustained and less reactive. People with bipolar disorder also have significant changes in energy and activity, unlike those with BPD.

Who does borderline personality disorder affect?

Most personality disorders begin in the teen years when your personality further develops and matures. As a result, almost all people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder are above the age of 18 at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Although anyone can develop BPD, it’s more common if you have a family history of BPD. People with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression or eating disorders, are also at higher risk.

Nearly 75% of people diagnosed with BPD are people assigned female at birth (AFAB). Research suggests that people assigned male at birth (AMAB) may be equally affected by BPD, but they may be misdiagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

How common is borderline personality disorder?

Borderline personality disorder is relatively rare. Approximately 1.4% of the adult U.S. population has BPD.

Symptoms and Causes

What are the signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

Signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder usually appear in your late teenage years or early adulthood. A troubling event or stressful experience can trigger symptoms or make them worse.

Over time, symptoms usually decrease and may go away completely.

Symptoms can range from manageable to very severe and can include any combination of the following:

  • Fear of abandonment: It’s common for people with BPD to feel uncomfortable being alone. When people with BPD feel that they’re being abandoned or neglected, they feel intense fear or anger. They might track their loved ones’ whereabouts or stop them from leaving. Or they might push people away before getting too close to avoid rejection at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
  • Unstable, intense relationships: People with BPD find it challenging to keep healthy personal relationships because they tend to change their views of others abruptly and dramatically. They can go from idealizing others to devaluing them quickly and vice versa. Their friendships, marriages and relationships with family members are often chaotic and unstable.
  • Unstable self-image or sense of self: People with BPD often have a distorted or unclear self-image and often feel guilty or ashamed and see themselves as “bad.” They may also abruptly and dramatically change their self-image, shown by suddenly changing their goals, opinions, careers or friends. They also tend to sabotage their own progress. For instance, they may fail a test on purpose, ruin relationships or get fired from a job at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
  • Rapid mood changes: People with BPD may experience sudden changes in how they feel about others, themselves and the world around them. Irrational emotions — including uncontrollable anger, fear, anxiety, hatred, sadness and love — change frequently and suddenly. These swings usually only last a few hours and rarely more than a few days.
  • Impulsive and dangerous behavior: Episodes of reckless driving, fighting, gambling, substance use, binge eating and/or unsafe sexual activity are common among people with BPD.
  • Repeated self-harm or suicidal behavior: People with BPD may cut, burn or injure themselves (self-harm) or threaten to do so. They may also have suicidal thoughts. These self-destructive acts are usually triggered by rejection, possible abandonment or disappointment in a caregiver or lover at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
  • Persistent feelings of emptiness: Many people with BPD feel sad, bored, unfulfilled or “empty.” Feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing are common, too.
  • Anger management issues: People with BPD have difficulty controlling their anger and often become intensely angry. They may express their anger with biting sarcasm, bitterness or angry tirades. These episodes are often followed by shame and guilt at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
  • Temporary paranoid thoughts: Dissociative episodes, paranoid thoughts and sometimes hallucinations may be triggered by extreme stress, usually fear of abandonment. These symptoms are temporary and usually not severe enough to be considered a separate disorder.

Not everyone with borderline personality disorder experiences all of these symptoms. The severity, frequency and duration of symptoms are unique to each person at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

What causes borderline personality disorder?

Healthcare providers believe BPD results from a combination of factors, including:

  • Childhood abuse and trauma: Up to 70% of people with BPD have experienced sexual, emotional or physical abuse as a child. Maternal separation, poor maternal attachment, inappropriate family boundaries and parental substance use disorder are also associated with BPD.
  • Genetics: Studies show that borderline personality disorder runs in families. If you have a family history of BPD, you’re more likely — but not guaranteed — to develop the condition.
  • Brain changes: In people with BPD, the parts of their brain that control emotion and behavior don’t communicate properly. These problems affect the way their brain works at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Diagnosis and Tests

How is borderline personality disorder diagnosed?

Personality continues to evolve throughout child and adolescent development. Because of this, healthcare providers don’t typically diagnose someone with borderline personality disorder until after the age of 18. Occasionally, a person younger than 18 may be diagnosed with BPD if symptoms are significant and last at least a year.

Personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder, can be difficult to diagnose, as most people with a personality disorder lack insight into their disruptive behavior and thought patterns at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

When they do seek help, it’s often due to conditions such as anxiety or depression as a result of the problems created by their personality disorder, such as divorce or lost relationships, not the disorder itself.

A licensed mental health professional — such as a psychiatrist, psychologist or clinical social worker — can diagnose borderline personality disorder based on the diagnostic criteria for BPD in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

They do so by performing a thorough interview and having conversations about symptoms. They ask questions that’ll shed light on at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD):

  • Personal medical history and family medical history, especially histories of mental health conditions.
  • Previous work history.
  • Impulse control.

Mental health professionals often work with the person’s family and friends to collect more insight into their behaviors and history.

Management and Treatment

How is borderline personality disorder treated?

BPD historically has been challenging to treat. But with newer, evidence-based treatment, many people with borderline personality disorder experience fewer and less severe symptoms, improved functioning and better quality of life at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

But effective treatment takes time, patience and commitment. Treatment may include psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications or both.

Your healthcare provider may recommend a short-term hospital stay if you’re very distressed or at risk of harming yourself or others. During your stay, your healthcare provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

People with borderline personality disorder often have other mental health conditions, including:

  • Mood disorders (80% to 96% of people with BPD).
  • Anxiety disorders (88%).
  • Substance use disorder (64%).
  • Eating disorders (53%).
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (10% to 30%).
  • Bipolar disorder (15%).
  • Somatoform disorders (10%).

If they have a co-existing condition, they’ll also need treatment for it.

Psychotherapy treatment for BPD

Psychotherapy (talk therapy) is the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder. The goal of treatment is to help you uncover the motivations and fears associated with your thoughts and behavior and to help you learn to relate to others more positively at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Types of therapy that can help treat BPD include:

  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): This type of therapy was developed specifically for people with BPD. DBT focuses on helping you accept the reality of your life and your behaviors, as well as helping you learn to change your life, including unhelpful behaviors. It teaches skills to help you control intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors and improve relationships.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): This is a structured, goal-oriented type of therapy. Your therapist or psychologist helps you take a close look at your thoughts and emotions. You’ll come to understand how your thoughts affect your actions. Through CBT, you can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
  • Group therapy: This is a type of psychotherapy in which a group of people meets to describe and discuss their problems together under the supervision of a therapist or psychologist. Group therapy may help people with BPD to interact with others more positively and express themselves effectively.

Medications for BPD

Because the benefits of prescription medication for borderline personality disorder are unclear, healthcare providers typically don’t prescribe medications as the main treatment for BPD.

But in some cases, a psychiatrist may recommend medications to treat specific symptoms or co-occurring mental health conditions. Medications can treat anxiety and depression, regulate mood swings or help control impulsive behavior. Antipsychotic (neuroleptic) drugs help some people with BPD at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Prevention

Can borderline personality disorder be prevented?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to prevent borderline personality disorder.

BPD is often inherited (passed through families), which means you have an increased risk of developing the condition if you have a family history of BPD. Ask your healthcare provider how to recognize signs of the disorder so you can get treatment as early as possible.

Outlook / Prognosis

What is the prognosis (outlook) for borderline personality disorder?

Most of the time, BPD symptoms gradually decrease with age. Some people’s symptoms disappear in their 40s. With the right treatment, many people with BPD learn to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Without treatment — or when treatment fails — people with borderline personality disorder have an increased risk of the following:

  • Substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder.
  • Depression.
  • Self-harm.
  • Suicide.

The risk of suicide in people with BPD is 40 times that of the general population. About 8% to 10% of people with BPD die by suicide.

Untreated BPD patients frequently struggle to maintain employment and have unstable or chaotic interpersonal connections. They are more likely to experience difficult friendships, family estrangement, and divorce. Financial and legal issues are especially prevalent among people with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Living With

How can I help someone with borderline personality disorder?

If you know someone who lives with borderline personality disorder, here are some ways you can help them:

  • Take time to learn about the BPD to understand what your loved one is experiencing.
  • Encourage your loved one to seek treatment for BPD and ask about family therapy if they’re a relative of yours.
  • Offer emotional support, understanding and patience. Change can be difficult and frightening to people with BPD, but their symptoms can improve over time with treatment at Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
  • Seek therapy for yourself if you’re experiencing significant stress or symptoms of mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Choose a different therapist from the person your loved one is seeing.

People with BPD have a significantly higher rate of self-harming and suicidal behavior than the general population.

People with BPD who are thinking of harming themselves or attempting suicide need help right away.

If you or someone you know is in immediate distress or thinking about hurting themselves, call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline toll-free at 988.

A note from Cleveland Clinic

It’s important to remember that borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a lifelong mental health condition. But long-term, ongoing treatment — such as medication and talk therapy — can help manage your symptoms. It’s important to see your healthcare team regularly to monitor your treatment plan and symptoms. Know that your healthcare providers and loved ones are there to support you.

The family members and loved ones of people with borderline personality disorder often experience stress, depression, grief and isolation. It’s also important to take care of your mental health and seek help if you’re experiencing these symptoms.

Stye

by Jabari
written by Jabari

A painful red spot on the border of your eyelid is called a stye. Styes, like acne pimples, are caused by an infection and blockage of a tiny oil gland located near your lashes. Styes are extremely frequent, and you can usually take care of them at home. However, in certain circumstances, medical attention for the eyes may be necessary.

Overview

What is a stye?

A stye (or sty) is a painful red bump on the edge of your eyelid. It can look similar to an acne pimple and may be tender to the touch. A stye forms when a tiny oil-producing gland in your eyelash follicle or eyelid skin becomes blocked and a bacterial infection develops. The medical term for a stye is “hordeolum.”

It’s common to have a stye on only one eyelid, but it’s also possible to get styes on both lids. A stye usually lasts one to two weeks and will typically go away on its own. But in cases where it doesn’t, you may need to rely on an eye care provider to drain it. They may also prescribe antibiotics to reduce the infection.

A chalazion, another type of eyelid lump, is comparable to a stye. A chalazion is a lump on your eyelid that typically develops further behind. A chalazion is not typically painful and is not brought on by a bacterial infection, in contrast to a stye. However, both illnesses are treated similarly.

Types of styes

There are two types of styes:

  • External styes: External styes form on the outer part of either your upper or lower eyelid. They’re the more common type. An infection in your eyelash follicle usually causes them.
  • Internal styes:Internal styes form on either of your inner eyelids (facing your eyeball). An infection in the inner eyelid gland that produces oils that help keep your eyelid moist causes this type.

How common are styes?

Styes are very common. They’re more common in adults than children because the oil in an adult’s oil glands is thicker than a child’s. That means it’s more prone to blockage.

Symptoms and Causes

What are the symptoms of a stye?

The main symptom of a stye is a painful red bump along your eyelid edge near your eyelashes. Other stye symptoms may include:

  • Swelling of your eyelid (sometimes your entire eyelid).
  • Discharge from your eye.
  • Crusting along your eyelid.
  • Light sensitivity.
  • Soreness and itching.
  • Eye tearing.
  • A scratchy feeling or a feeling that there’s something in your eye.

What causes a stye?

A bacterial infection in your eyelid’s oil-producing glands causes most styes. The oil-producing glands line the eyelids and help lubricate the surface of your eye.

Are styes contagious?

In general, sties are not communicable. However, little numbers of bacteria can proliferate from them. For this reason, it’s critical to regularly wash pillows and your hands both before and after handling a sick person in order to stop the bacterium from spreading. To lessen the spread of bacteria and inflammation, keep your hands off the stye unless you’re cleaning it or applying warm compresses.

What are the risk factors for developing a stye?

Styes are very common, and anyone can get them. But you may be more likely to get a stye if you:

  • Have had a stye before.
  • Have blepharitis (an inflammation of your eyelids).
  • Have certain skin conditions, like acne, rosacea or dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis).
  • Have diabetes.
  • Have dry skin.
  • Are experiencing hormonal changes.
  • Have high lipid levels (“bad” cholesterol).

Diagnosis and Tests

How is a stye diagnosed?

Some styes are more stubborn and require a visit to a healthcare provider. If your vision seems to be affected or if your stye seems to be getting worse instead of better, contact a provider.

During your appointment, your provider will examine your eyelid and ask about any additional symptoms you’re having. They’ll be able to diagnose a stye based on this eye exam.

Management and Treatment

How do you get rid of a stye?

A stye will usually go away by itself in one to two weeks. To feel better faster and reduce pain and swelling, you can use a self-care plan to treat your stye at home. Here are some dos and don’ts to manage your stye at home.

Do

  • Use warm compresses.Apply a warm washcloth to your eyelid for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, three to five times a day. Rewarm the washcloth by soaking it in warm water, wring and repeat. Many people believe that using green tea bags moistened in warm water as eye compresses will help the stye not only feel better, but also speed healing, due in part to the antibacterial properties of green tea. Some scientists have shown that a natural antioxidant in green tea breaks down the cell wall of the bacteria, killing it. While there’s debate about this among eye experts, it won’t hurt you and should be at least as effective as using a warm washcloth as a compress.
  • Clean eyelids.Gently wipe away eye discharge with a mild soapy solution made from half baby shampoo and half water. You can also use eyelid wipes available in most drug stores.

Don’t

  • Squeeze or pop a stye.
  • Rub or touch your eyelid.
  • Wear makeup or contact lenses until the area has healed.

How will an eye care provider treat a stye?

If after 48 hours of stye self-care, your pain and swelling aren’t getting any better, it’s time to call your eye care provider. Stye treatment by a medical provider may include:

  • A small cut (incision) to drain your stye in the office (under local anesthesia).
  • Prescription antibiotic ointment to apply to your eyelid or antibiotic eye drops. Your provider may prescribe oral antibiotics in cases where the area around your eye is infected or after an incision is made to drain an internal stye.
  • A steroid injection into the stye to reduce eyelid swelling.

Prevention

Can styes be prevented?

The best way to prevent a stye is to practice good facial hygiene, including:

  • Washing your hands thoroughly and often, especially before touching your face and eyes.
  • Washing your hands before and after removing contact lenses. Clean your contacts with disinfectant and lens cleaning solution. Dispose of daily wear or other “limited use” lenses on the schedule that your eye care provider recommends.
  • Washing your face to remove dirt and/or makeup before going to bed.
  • Throwing away eye makeup every two to three months. Never share eye makeup with anyone else.

Outlook / Prognosis

How serious is a stye?

Styes are usually harmless. They may cause some minor irritation and discomfort, but they typically go away on their own. Stye self-care measures like warm compresses can help speed up the healing process.

Although it will be tempting to cover the stye with makeup, avoid doing this. Putting makeup on a stye can delay the healing process or even cause it to become more plugged up and infected, which, in turn, will make it more painful.

Living With

When should I see my healthcare provider?

You should see your healthcare provider if:

  • Your eye is swollen shut.
  • Pus or blood is leaking from the bump.
  • Pain and/or swelling increases after the first two to three days.
  • Blisters have formed on your eyelid.
  • Your eyelids feel hot.
  • Your vision has changed.
  • Styes keep coming back. If this happens, your provider may take a biopsy (a small sample of the stye), under local anesthesia, to rule out other more serious problems.

What questions should I ask my healthcare provider?

If you have a stye, you may want to ask your provider the following questions:

  • Do styes usually go away on their own?
  • How long will it take a stye to heal?
  • What treatment options do you recommend?
  • Do I need to miss school or work if I have a stye?
  • If I’m in a lot of pain, can I take a pain reliever?

A note from Cleveland Clinic

Ouch! What’s that painful red bump that’s developed on your eye? A common cause is a stye. Though they can be painful, most styes aren’t a cause for concern. Having a stye is usually manageable with good eyelid hygiene, and most cases will go away on their own. If the stye persists and doesn’t seem to be getting any better with at-home treatment, contact an eye care specialist.

Mediterranean Diet

by Jabari
written by Jabari

Healthy fats and plant-based diets are the main focuses of the Mediterranean diet. You consume a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The primary source of fat is extra virgin olive oil. You can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and many other chronic illnesses by following the Mediterranean diet. You can modify the diet to fit your needs with the assistance of a dietician.

Overview

What is the Mediterranean Diet?

Plant-based meals and healthy fats are the mainstays of the Mediterranean diet. Rather than adhering to rigid calculations or procedures, you concentrate on your general eating habits.

In general, you’ll eat:

  • Lots of vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils and nuts.
  • A good amount of whole grains, like whole-wheat bread and brown rice.
  • Plenty of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) as a source of healthy fat.
  • A good amount of fish, especially fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
  • A moderate amount of natural cheese and yogurt.
  • Little or no red meat, choosing poultry, fish or beans instead of red meat.
  • Little or no sweets, sugary drinks or butter.
  • A moderate amount of wine with meals (but if you don’t already drink, don’t start).

around some Mediterranean nations around the middle of the 20th century, this was the standard diet. These dietary habits have been associated by researchers with a lower incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). These days, doctors advise following this diet to support other areas of your health or if you have heart disease risk factors.

A dietitian can help you modify your approach as needed based on your medical history, underlying conditions, allergies and preferences.

What are the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet?

The Mediterranean Diet has many benefits, including:

  • Lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease, including a heart attack or stroke.
  • Supporting a body weight that’s healthy for you.
  • Supporting healthy blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol.
  • Lowering your risk of metabolic syndrome.
  • Supporting a healthy balance of gut microbiota (bacteria and other microorganisms) in your digestive system.
  • Lowering your risk for certain types of cancer.
  • Slowing the decline of brain function as you age.
  • Helping you live longer.

The Mediterranean Diet has these benefits because it:

  • Limits saturated fat and trans fat. You need some saturated fat, but only in small amounts. Eating too much saturated fat can raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol. A high LDL raises your risk of plaque buildup in your arteries (atherosclerosis). Trans fat has no health benefits. Both of these “unhealthy fats” can cause inflammation.
  • Encourages healthy unsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. Unsaturated fats promote healthy cholesterol levels, support brain health and combat inflammation. Plus, a diet high in unsaturated fats and low in saturated fat promotes healthy blood sugar levels.
  • Limits sodium. Eating foods high in sodium can raise your blood pressure, putting you at a greater risk for a heart attack or stroke.
  • Limits refined carbohydrates, including sugar. Foods high in refined carbs can cause your blood sugar to spike. Refined carbs also give you excess calories without much nutritional benefit. For example, such foods often have little or no fiber.
  • Favors foods high in fiber and antioxidants. These nutrients help reduce inflammation throughout your body. Fiber also helps keep waste moving through your large intestine and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Antioxidants protect you against cancer by warding off free radicals.

The Mediterranean Diet includes many different nutrients that work together to help your body. There’s no single food or ingredient responsible for the Mediterranean Diet’s benefits. Instead, the diet is healthy for you because of the combination of nutrients it provides.

Think of a choir with many people singing. One voice alone might carry part of the tune, but you need all the voices to come together to achieve the full effect. Similarly, the Mediterranean Diet works by giving you an ideal blend of nutrients that harmonize to support your health.

Mediterranean Diet food list

The Mediterranean Diet encourages you to eat plenty of some foods (like whole grains and vegetables) while limiting others. If you’re planning a grocery store trip, you might wonder which foods to buy. Here are some examples of foods to eat often with the Mediterranean Diet.

Mediterranean Diet serving goals and sizes

A fridge and pantry full of nutritious foods are great for starters. But where do you go from there? How much of each food do you need? It’s always best to talk to a dietitian to get advice tailored to your needs as you get started. The chart below offers some general guidance on serving goals and serving sizes, according to the type of food.

Food Serving Goal Serving Size Tips
Fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruit: 3 servings per day; Veggies: At least 3 servings per day. Fruit: ½ cup to 1 cup; Veggies: ½ cup cooked or 1 cup raw. Have at least 1 serving of veggies at each meal; Choose fruit as a snack.

Instead, choose fruit and nonfat yogurt; Bake using liquid oil instead of solid fats; whole grain flour instead of bleached or enriched flour; egg whites instead of whole eggs.

How do I create a Mediterranean Diet meal plan?

It’s important to consult with a primary care physician (PCP) or dietitian before making drastic changes to your diet or trying any new eating plan. They’ll make sure your intended plan is best for you based on your individual needs. They may also share meal plans and recipes for you to try at home.

In general, when thinking about meals, you’ll want to collect some go-to options and recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. The more variety, the better. You don’t want to get stuck in a rut or feel like you’re restricted in which foods you can or should eat. Luckily, there’s plenty of room for changing things up with the Mediterranean Diet. Below are some examples of meals you might enjoy.

Breakfast

Get your day going strong with breakfasts like:

  • Steel-cut oats with fresh berries and ground flaxseed.
  • Whole-grain toast with nut butter and a nutritious smoothie.
  • Greek yogurt topped with fruit and walnuts.
  • Egg white omelet with fresh, seasonal veggies.

Lunch

For midday nutrition and a powerful energy boost, consider:

  • A bulgur salad like lemon and herb tabbouleh or charred broccoli tabbouleh.
  • A whole-grain pasta salad with plenty of fresh veggies.
  • Roasted portobello sandwich and a cup of hearty veggie soup.
  • Toasted quinoa and salmon salad.

You may want to prepare some lunches the day before so they’re ready to pack or grab from the fridge as needed.

Dinner

Wrap up the day with a hearty, nutrient-packed entree like:

  • Salmon with mango salsa.
  • Cod with lentils.
  • Lean, roasted chicken over cannellini beans.
  • Savory chickpea and spinach “pancakes for dinner.”
  • Black bean burger on a whole-grain bun served with roasted beets.
  • A heart-healthy pizza.

For some added nutrients and color, throw together a side salad — like a sesame cucumber salad or a fennel, orange and mint salad. To keep things simple, try drizzling mixed greens with a nutritious Mediterranean dressing.

Snacks

Portion and prepare snacks ahead of time so they’re ready when you need them. Here are some ideas of what to keep at the ready:

  • A handful of nuts and seeds (low salt or no salt added).
  • Fresh fruit, ideally local and in-season.
  • Nonfat Greek yogurt and a small piece of dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao).
  • Whole-grain crackers with hummus.
  • Raw veggies with a nonfat Greek yogurt dip.

What foods are not allowed on the Mediterranean Diet?

The Mediterranean Diet doesn’t set hard and fast rules for what you’re allowed or not allowed. Rather, it encourages you to eat more of certain foods and limit others. Here’s what you should try to limit as much as possible:

  • Any foods with added sugar, like bakery goods, ice cream and even some granola bars.
  • Any drinks with added sugar, including fruit juices and sodas.
  • Beer and liquor.
  • Foods high in sodium or saturated fat.
  • Refined carbohydrates, like white bread and white rice.
  • Highly processed foods, like some cheeses.
  • Fatty or processed meats.

Additional Common Questions

What is the Mediterranean Diet pyramid?

The Mediterranean Diet pyramid is one way to visualize what foods you should eat and how often. Different organizations have created slightly different versions of this pyramid. All Mediterranean Diet pyramids encourage you to eat mostly veggies, fruits, whole grains and extra virgin olive oil while limiting red meat and sweets.

The Mediterranean Diet pyramid is different from the Food Guide Pyramid that the U.S. government created in the 1990s.

How does lifestyle relate to the Mediterranean Diet?

To get the most from your eating plan, try to:

  • Exercise regularly, ideally with others.
  • Avoid smoking or using any tobacco products.
  • Prepare and enjoy meals with family and friends.
  • Cook more often than you eat out.
  • Eat locally sourced foods whenever possible.

Can the Mediterranean Diet be vegetarian?

Yes. If you prefer a vegetarian diet, you can easily modify the Mediterranean Diet to exclude meat and fish. In that case, you’d gain your protein solely from plant sources like nuts and beans. Talk to a dietitian to learn more.

Can the Mediterranean Diet be gluten-free?

Yes. You can modify recipes to exclude gluten-based products. Talk to a dietitian for recipe ideas and support in making necessary changes.

Can I use regular olive oil instead of extra virgin olive oil?

Regular olive oil is a good alternative to an oil that’s high in saturated fat (like palm oil). However, to get the most benefits, opt for extra virgin olive oil.

A crucial fact to know before starting the Mediterranean Diet is that not all olive oils are the same. The Mediterranean Diet calls for extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), specifically. That’s because it has a healthy fat ratio. This means EVOO contains more healthy fat (unsaturated) than unhealthy fat (saturated). Aside from its fat ratio, EVOO is healthy because it’s high in antioxidants.

Antioxidants help protect your cells from damage, therefore protecting your heart and brain and reducing inflammation throughout your body. Because it’s manufactured differently, regular olive oil doesn’t contain as many of these antioxidants.

A note from Cleveland Clinic

In a world with endless diet options, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Research has proven the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet for many people, especially those at risk for heart disease. Beyond protecting your heart, the Mediterranean Diet can help you prevent or manage many other conditions.

As with any eating plan, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider before getting started. They’ll make sure the plan is appropriate for you and help you modify it as needed. Also, tell your loved ones about your goals. Invite them to cook and share meals with you. It’s easier to follow an eating plan over the long term when you have a supportive community with you along the way.

6 Benefits Of Hiring Professional Glass Services

by Jabari
written by Jabari

When it comes to glass work, whether for your home or business, hiring a professional glass service is often the best choice. Here are six key benefits to consider.

1. Expertise and Experience

Professional glass services bring years of expertise and experience. These experts know how to handle glass safely and efficiently. Whether it’s for a new window or a shower door installation, they have the skills needed to do the job right.

Mistakes in glass work can be costly, both in terms of money and safety. Hiring professionals ensures the job is done correctly the first time, saving you from potential headaches later.

2. Quality Materials

When you hire professional glass services, you benefit from high-quality materials. Professionals know which types of glass are best for specific projects. For example, they use durable glass for shower doors that can withstand moisture and heat.

They also have access to different styles and thicknesses, ensuring that you get the best look and performance for your needs.

3. Safety First

Handling glass can be dangerous. It’s heavy and can break easily. Professionals know how to handle glass safely, reducing the risk of accidents. They use special tools and techniques to ensure safety during installation or repairs.

If you attempt to do this work yourself, you could end up injuring yourself or damaging your property. Hiring professionals means you can avoid these risks and feel secure in the knowledge that the job is being handled safely.

4. Time-Saving

Time is valuable, and professional glass services help you save it. These experts work quickly and efficiently. They know what to do and how to do it, so they can complete the job faster than someone without experience.

If you try to do it yourself, you might spend hours—or even days—on a project that a professional could finish in just a few hours. This extra time can be spent on more important tasks or simply relaxing.

5. Custom Solutions

Every home and business is unique, and so are their glass needs. Professional glass services offer custom solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Whether you need a unique shower door installation or specialized commercial glass services, they can provide exactly what you need.

They take the time to understand your preferences and will create a solution that fits perfectly with your space.

6. Warranty and Support

One of the greatest advantages of hiring professional glass services is the warranty and support that comes with it. Most professionals offer warranties on their work, which means you’re protected in case something goes wrong. This peace of mind is invaluable.

If you encounter any issues after installation, you can rely on them to fix it at no extra cost. This level of support is not something you can typically expect when you handle things yourself.

Conclusion

Hiring professional glass services has many benefits. From ensuring safety to providing custom solutions, professionals bring expertise and quality that you can trust. Whether you need a simple shower door installation or more complex commercial glass services, consider reaching out to experts.

They not only save you time and effort but also give you peace of mind, knowing that your glass work is in good hands. Don’t hesitate to invest in professional help; it’s a decision you won’t regret.

How Celebrity Endorsements Influence Brand Perception

by Jabari
written by Jabari

In today’s highly competitive market, celebrity endorsements are a powerful tool that brands use to shape how they are perceived by consumers. By associating themselves with well-known figures, brands can tap into the existing fanbase and influence how their products are viewed. Celebrity endorsements can enhance credibility, create emotional connections, and shift consumer opinions, making them a valuable marketing strategy.

Enhancing Brand Credibility

One of the primary ways celebrity endorsements influence brand perception is by boosting credibility. Consumers tend to trust the opinions and choices of celebrities they admire. When a well-respected celebrity endorses a product, it signals to the public that the brand is trustworthy and of high quality. This association can be particularly beneficial for new or lesser-known brands looking to establish themselves in the market.

For instance, when a celebrity like Jennifer Aniston endorses a skincare product, it lends the brand a level of authenticity and reliability. Her endorsement suggests that she personally uses and believes in the product, which in turn increases consumer trust. In this way, celebrity endorsements can significantly elevate a brand’s reputation.

Shaping Emotional Connections

Celebrity endorsements also help shape emotional connections between consumers and brands. Celebrities often evoke strong emotions in their fanbase, whether through their work, personality, or values. When a brand partners with a celebrity, it can tap into these emotions, fostering a deeper connection with consumers.

For example, when a socially-conscious celebrity like Leonardo DiCaprio endorses an eco-friendly product, it creates an emotional link between the consumer and the brand. Consumers who admire DiCaprio for his environmental activism are more likely to feel positively about the brand he endorses. This emotional connection can strengthen brand loyalty and make consumers more inclined to choose the endorsed product over competitors.

Reinforcing Brand Identity

Another way celebrity endorsements influence brand perception is by reinforcing or even reshaping the brand’s identity. Celebrities bring their unique personas and associations to a brand, which can enhance the brand’s image or shift how it is perceived by the public.

For example, a brand that wants to appear more youthful and trendy might partner with a celebrity like Billie Eilish. Her edgy, modern image can redefine how the brand is viewed, making it more appealing to younger audiences. In this case, the celebrity endorsement not only increases visibility but also helps rebrand the company in line with its evolving goals.

Changing Consumer Opinions

In some cases, celebrity endorsements can even change consumer opinions about a brand. If a brand has faced negative publicity or is seen as outdated, a strategic partnership with a well-liked celebrity can help turn things around. By aligning themselves with someone who is admired, brands can shift the narrative and rebuild their reputation.

Take Nike’s endorsement deal with Colin Kaepernick as an example. The brand’s decision to stand behind the controversial athlete helped reshape its image, portraying Nike as a socially-conscious company that values activism. This bold celebrity endorsement not only changed consumer perceptions but also garnered significant attention, reinforcing Nike’s position as a brand that stands for something beyond just products.

Conclusion

Celebrity endorsements are a powerful tool for shaping brand perception. They enhance credibility, create emotional connections, reinforce brand identity, and can even shift consumer opinions. When done correctly, a celebrity endorsement can transform how a brand is viewed, helping it gain consumer trust and build a positive reputation in the market. As long as brands choose the right celebrity to represent their values, these endorsements will continue to be a key strategy for influencing brand perception.

Role of Paycheck Stubs in Employee Benefits and Compensation Packages

by Jabari
written by Jabari

In the realm of employee compensation, paycheck stubs play a pivotal role that extends far beyond merely documenting salary. They are an essential component of employee benefits and compensation packages, offering insights into various aspects of remuneration and financial well-being.

This comprehensive guide will explore the critical functions of paycheck stubs, their impact on benefits and compensation, and why they are indispensable for both employees and employers.

What is a Paycheck Stub?

A paycheck stub, also known as a pay stub, is a detailed statement provided by an employer alongside an employee’s paycheck. It outlines the specifics of an employee’s earnings and deductions for a particular pay period. Typically, a paycheck stub includes:

  • Gross Pay: The total earnings before any deductions.
  • Net Pay: The amount the employee takes home after all deductions.
  • Deductions: Contributions for taxes, insurance, retirement plans, and other withholdings.
  • Benefits Contributions: Details about how much is being deducted for various employee benefits.
  • Year-to-Date Totals: Accumulated totals of earnings and deductions for the year.

Paycheck Stubs and Employee Benefits

Paycheck stubs are instrumental in understanding and managing employee benefits. Here’s how:

Tracking Benefits Contributions

Paycheck stubs provide a transparent view of how much is being deducted for employee benefits such as health insurance, retirement savings plans (401(k) or pension contributions), and flexible spending accounts. By reviewing these stubs, employees can ensure that the correct amounts are being deducted and allocated to their benefits accounts.

Verifying Employer Contributions

For benefits like retirement plans, employers often match a portion of employee contributions. Paycheck stubs can show both the employee’s contributions and the employer’s matching amounts, helping employees verify that they are receiving the full benefit of the employer’s contribution.

Ensuring Compliance

Paycheck stubs help in ensuring that deductions for benefits comply with the terms outlined in employee benefit plans. This includes verifying compliance with legal requirements and ensuring that benefits are being administered correctly.

Paycheck Stubs and Compensation Packages

In addition to benefits, paycheck stubs are crucial for understanding various elements of compensation packages:

Breakdown of Earnings

A comprehensive paycheck stub breaks down the components of gross pay, which might include base salary, overtime pay, bonuses, and commissions. This transparency helps employees understand how their total compensation is structured and provides clarity on how different components contribute to their overall earnings.

Deductions and Withholdings

Deductions for taxes, insurance premiums, and other withholdings are clearly outlined on paycheck stubs. This breakdown helps employees understand their tax liabilities, prepare for tax season, and manage their personal finances more effectively.

Legal and Financial Documentation

Paycheck stubs serve as official records of income, which can be crucial for various financial transactions and legal purposes. They are often required when applying for loans, mortgages, or other financial services, providing proof of income and employment stability.

Benefits for Employers

While paycheck stubs are primarily valuable to employees, they also benefit employers in several ways:

Record Keeping

For employers, paycheck stubs provide a systematic way to keep records of employee compensation, benefits deductions, and tax withholdings. This is essential for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

Employee Relations

Providing detailed paycheck stubs can enhance transparency and trust between employers and employees. It helps address any discrepancies or questions regarding pay, which can improve employee satisfaction and reduce conflicts.

Compliance

Employers must comply with various labor laws and regulations, including those related to wage and hour laws. Paycheck stubs are a tool for ensuring compliance with these laws, particularly in areas such as minimum wage, overtime pay, and proper deductions.

Digital vs. Paper Paycheck Stubs

With the advancement of technology, many companies now offer digital paycheck stubs. These digital versions offer several advantages:

Accessibility

Digital paycheck stubs can be accessed from anywhere, making it easier for employees to review their earnings and deductions on the go. This is particularly useful for remote workers or those who travel frequently.

Environmentally Friendly

Digital stubs reduce paper usage, aligning with environmentally friendly practices. This also reduces the risk of lost or misplaced physical documents.

Efficiency

Digital paycheck stubs can be automatically generated and distributed, saving time for both employers and employees. They also facilitate easier record-keeping and data management.

How to Read a Paycheck Stub?

Understanding how to read a paycheck stub is crucial for maximizing its benefits:

Identify the Pay Period

Start by noting the pay period dates to understand the timeframe for the earnings and deductions listed.

Review Gross and Net Pay

Compare the gross pay (total earnings) with the net pay (amount after deductions) to ensure accuracy.

Examine Deductions

Review each deduction to ensure they match your understanding of benefits contributions and tax withholdings.

Check Year-to-Date Totals

The year-to-date totals provide a cumulative view of earnings and deductions, helping in financial planning and tax preparation.

Conclusion

Paycheck stubs are far more than just a record of salary—they are a critical tool for understanding and managing employee benefits and compensation packages. By providing a detailed breakdown of earnings, deductions, and contributions, they help employees make informed financial decisions, ensure benefits compliance, and maintain transparent employer-employee relationships. For employers, paycheck stubs are an essential component of record-keeping and compliance, contributing to efficient operations and positive employee relations.
