I recommend that everyone should have at least several rolls of the medical stretch wrap for wounds at hand,     1     is excellent at holding gauze (纱布) in place against a wound. The wrap can     2     (pull) as tight or loose as you want. It can stretch twice or double its length and it can return to its original length at the same time. The best thing you can do     3     (stop) the bleeding during an emergency is apply adequate pressure. Get some gauze or whatever clean material to cover the wound. If necessary, push down on the wound harder to apply     4     (much) pressure against the bleeding. For minor to moderate bleeding wounds, ordinary gauze and wrap will get the job done.

Some time ago, I had my hand     5     (wound) with a screwdriver (螺丝刀) accidentally. Just     6     it happened, I reminded myself that if the screwdriver slips, I’m going to get hurt. Fortunately, I keep all essential First Aid     7     (supply) on one specific shelf, which saves my trouble of searching for what I might need during     8     emergency.

I used some hydrogen peroxide (双氧水) to clean the wound out. I held the folded 4×4 gauze onto the wound and finished by     9     (wrap) it tightly. I fully recovered from the     10     (injure) quite soon.

4 . The measurement of blood pressure goes back almost three centuries, leading to the procedure that we all know and that our family doctor performs when we have checkups: A cuff (袖口) goes around our arm, which is first inflated (膨胀), and then deflated (放气), in a controlled manner, to determine our maximum and minimum blood pressure.

But the use of inflatable-cuff blood pressure monitors has some disadvantages. For one thing, unless people have home monitors, they must go to a chemistry shop, doctor’s office or health center to learn what their blood pressure is. Another barrier is that repeated inflation and deflation of the cuff can cause difficulties when, for example, a patient is in the hospital and needs frequent blood pressure monitoring. And the last one is that since cuffs don’t allow continuous measurement of blood pressure, they’re only providing a measurement at a specific moment.

Today, a new generation of blood pressure devices have been developed and their aim is to make it easier to judge high blood pressure. Unlike traditional devices, they do without the arm cuff and offer blood pressure values on demand. Users just press their finger on a sensor on a watch and ring.

The various cuffless measuring devices are based on methods that, instead of directly determining blood pressure, use sensors to capture various indirect signals. These signals are processed by different sets of mathematical procedures to obtain the blood pressure values. It is like inferring fever by measuring an increase in heart beat and sweating instead of using a thermometer (体温表), or divining the result of a soccer match from outside the stadium by listening to the screams of the soccer fans.

The development of devices for measuring blood pressure without a blood pressure cuff is progressing rapidly, but that doesn’t mean they are ready used to make diagnostic and treatment decisions. “The road to clinical application may be some day in the near future, but not now,” Avolio says.

Robots are highly beneficial to healthcare. Statistics show that around 16 million patients in China are     1     need of orthopedic (矫形外科的) surgery. Surgical robots help surgeons figure out the problem,     2     carry the risk of exposing both surgeons and patients to radiation damage. The all-in-one orthopedic robot (AIOOR) solves this problem. Developed by orthopedic     3     (special) Zhang Yuanzhi and his team, AIOOR is the first of its kind in China. Its cutting-edge imaging system and software     4     (short) the time needed for complex operations, such as those for spinal injuries, and also makes such surgeries much     5     (safe).

Advanced robotics, moreover, considerably eases patients’ discomfort created by the traditional gastroscopy (胃镜),     6     requires that the physician put a tube down the patient’s mouth to the stomach. The discomfort is unbearable to many patients,     7     (make) some avoid checkups and consequently miss the best time for treatment. The NaviCam, a system developed by ANKON Medical Technologies in Shanghai, enables     8     (entire) painless stomach visualization instead. Patients only need to “eat”     9     capsule-sized robot, and the examination is completed within 15 minutes. After the procedure, the robot is removed from patients’ body. So far, these robots     10     (employ) in about 1,000 medical centers across China.

In the 1940s, China     1     (report) 30 million cases of malaria (疟疾) each year. In the 1950s, Chinese health authorities began introducing measures to treat and prevent the disease. Now, after a 70-year campaign and more than four years of zero new cases, China is officially malaria free,     2     (recognize) by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The WHO gives malaria-free certificates (证明) to countries when they have presented that they’ve stopped nationwide spread     3     at least three continuous years. Countries also need to have monitoring and reacting systems in place     4     can prevent indigenous cases of the disease from coming back — indigenous in this case meaning infected (感染)     5     (local) from a native mosquito. Forty countries and regions     6     (give) the certificate so far, according to the WHO.

In the 1970s, through a government project, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin, the most     7     (power) anti-malaria drug.     8     breakthrough, based on traditional Chinese medicine, led to a Nobel Prize for Tu in 2015. “Over many decades, China’s ability     9     (think) outside the box served the country well in its own     10     (respond) to malaria, and also had a significant effect globally,” notes Dr. Pedro Alonso, Director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme.
