          <description><![CDATA[
When dehydration occurs, it&#8217;s important to restore the levels of fluids and electrolytes. Mild cases of dehydrations can sometimes be treated with oral rehydration solutions. In more severe cases, or when a child can&#8217;t keep liquids down, fluids must be restored intravenously.&nbsp; A product, called hylenex recombinant, is easing the ability to rehydrate sick kids. Hylenex is made from hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid, an enzyme that holds cells together, like glue, and enables tissue to become a natural barrier).           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
High blood pressure increases the risk for major health problems, like heart failure, stroke, kidney damage, blindness. 

If blood pressure drops too low, the heart muscle may not get enough oxygen. 

One study found risk for a heart attack doubles when diastolic pressure is lower than 70 and quadruples when diastolic pressure drops below 60.

As with seasonal flu, there are steps to take to reduce risk for H1N1 infection. Everyone should practice good hygiene - wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth (you can pick up flu germs by touching contaminated surfaces). Those who are sick should avoid contact with healthy people and stay home until 24 hours after the fever is gone. For most healthy people, that&#8217;s 3 to 5 days after the first symptoms.            ]]></description>
