- Hib Meningitis And The Hib Vaccine
By: Peter Nisbet | - Meningitis is an infection of the membrane which covers the brain and the spinal cord, and can be caused by infection with bacteria and viruses. There are several types of meningitis of which Hib meningitis is one, and I will discuss each of them in successive articles, published at approximately two weekly intervals.
Hib meningitis the form of meningitis caused by the haemophilus influenzae type B bacterium. This form of meningitis is particularly dangerous to children, and was ...

- Voip Small Business Solution
By: Peter Nisbet | - Many small businesses tend to lag behind their larger counterparts in their use of new technology. Those that do may be doomed, not only to remain small and fail to realize the growth that their initial potential may have promised, but also to lag behind their smaller competitors. In fact a VoIP small business solution can not only save small businesses money, but also significantly increase their communications efficiency.
It is a proven fact that technology can contribute a gr ...

- What Is A Voip Phone?
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
In spite of the growing popularity of IP telephony, there are still many people who do not know what a VoIP phone is. What is the difference between a VoIP phone and an ordinary phone?
As far as you are concerned, probably not a lot. You can still use your own landline phone if need be, though in its simplest form there is no VoIP phone handset as such. Just a microphone and speakers will do. All you need is some software which is sup ...

- Latent Semantic Indexing: What Is It?
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
Latent semantic indexing was introduced in an attempt to improve the service offered by Google and other search engines to those using their services.
Keyword density has been the main part of search engine optimization for many years, easily understood by beginners in website design and article writing. The two major factors influencing search engine placement were the use of keywords and in-links (back links).
When Googl ...

- Peer To Peer (p2p) File Sharing: How It Works
By: Peter Nisbet | - Peer-to-peer (or P2P) file sharing systems connect users (called nodes) directly together. Some are true networked systems while other contain an element of the client-server structure. That is they contain an element of the original Napster centralized server system where clients are fed by a central server. Examples of this are the original Napster (Napster is now a pay for music' site) and OpenNap which replicates the original Napster functionality.
It was the central server ...

- A Mother's Instincts.
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
Ignore a mother's instincts about her child's health at your peril!
Whether you are a health professional or a parent with an unwell child, you must always remember that a mother knows far better than any doctor or physician whether her child is seriously ill or not. No member of the medical profession should ever ignore a mother's instincts in these matters, and neither should the mother.
This is particularly true of menin ...

- What Is Voip?
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
Many have heard of the VoIP phone service, but are unsure what the term VoIP stand for. VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. Great, but what does that mean and how does it affect me? I can hear you say. I though the same when I first heard the term.
In simple terms what the VoIP service does is to convert an analogue audio signal into a digital audio signal that can be transferred over the internet. In order to understand ho ...

- Cold Foiling
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
The cold foiling process, as the name implies, involves foil blocking without the use of heat. Traditional hot stamping foils require heat and pressure to transfer the foil from the carrier film to the substrate being printed, whereas cold foiling does not.
A hot foil generally consists of a polyester carrier, or, more rarely, polypropylene or cellulose film, a release layer, a lacquered layer, the colour which determines the shade of go ...

- Voip Security
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
VoIP security has been called in question recently, though there is little evidence to indicate that VoIP security is any less than conventional telephony systems.
VoIP voice data is transmitted via a packet-switched data network using IP. VoIP systems can carry a significant higher number of calls, and very much faster, than traditional PSTN networks due to compression of the voice packets, modern broadband technology and a number of oth ...

- How Vaccines Work
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
When an organism gets into your body and causes an infection, your body gathers its defences and fights against them. This is the basic principle of how vaccines work.
Certain cells in your blood make what are called antibodies', molecules which are designed to attack specific germs and viruses. These attach to the invaders in your bloodstream and prevent them from invading other cells. Each virus or bacterium has an individual shape, ...

- The Mmr Controversy: Do You Know The Facts?
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
There is a lot of controversy at the moment regarding the MMR vaccine, specifically the measles portion of it. Many parents are nervous about allowing their children to have the MMR vaccination due mainly, I believe, to its link with autism.
Most people have quite a fixed opinion I have found, though are unsure what the actual evidence is that they are believing. There is no shortage of information about MMR and autism, and it is easily ...

- Advice To Parents On Childhood Measles - Part Ii
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
In Part 1 I explained how a lack of knowledge about measles symptoms and resistance to MMR has resulted in some parents starting up measles parties to ensure that their children caught measles early and so gain immunity that way. This is mistaken in my view and many people are unaware that measles is still a major killer. In part II I will explain to parents what the measles symptoms are, in what order they should appear and when to call a docto ...

- Clinical Thermometers And Children's Health - Part Ii
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
Body temperature is usually measured by indirectly measuring the temperature of the blood. Its accuracy is dependent on both the equipment used and the area of the body used for the measurement. Several factors can affect the accuracy, among them recent exercise, how wrapped up (or bundled) a young child has been and even the environmental temperature.
Rectal temperature is the most accurate of the common methods, but I do not r ...

- Advice To Parents On Childhood Measles Part I
By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
Measles is caused by a virus of the influenza family. The initial measles symptoms are a bit like a bad cold or flu, but with a rash! The vast majority of parents do not know what measles really is, other than being a childhood illness. They know it has a rash and is infectious, but thats about it. They have probably never seen it and dont know anyone who has had it. Most doctors would not recognise measles symptoms until the rash appeared, n ...
