Newborn babies could wait to be bathed
By Hicbd
"But when my second baby was born at home, my midwife suggested we wait on the bath. She said vernix caseosa, the waxy coating on newborns’ skin, is a natural moisturizer and cleanser, and protects against infection. Plus, babies are not good at regulating their temperature, and being bathed doesn’t help. After a full 10 days of enjoying that fresh baby smell—and after the first diaper explosion—we bathed her."

A "document locker" could help people access social benefits
By Hicbd
"One Degree has been monitoring the impact of personal ID requirements on community members for several years. Informed by feedback and discussions with our community and healthcare partners, including the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, we built the Document Locker, a HIPAA-compliant secure storage feature, into our platform. This feature enables our registered community members to save and store sensitive documents, using photos taken with their phones or by having a caseworker scan and then upload them securely. One Degree community members using the feature not only store personal identification, but also utility bills, income verification, food stamps, medical information, and other essential records. Importantly, we designed this feature to ensure that individuals retain full control of their documents—members can view who has access to individual documents and can revoke access at any time."

"The applied warm compresses on the perineum area positively reduce second and third-degree perineal tear and pain intensity during the second stage of labor and after childbirth. Therefore, midwives and nurses are expected to actively provide effective planned in-service training programs regarding warm compresses' advantages in the second stage of labor and apply this procedure actively."

Architecture could incorporate riads
By Hicbd
"A riad or riyad is a type of traditional Moroccan and Andalusi interior garden or courtyard associated with house and palace architecture...Historically, the term referred to a type of interior garden common to historic Moorish architecture in Al-Andalus (Iberian Peninsula) and North Africa: in particular, a rectangular courtyard garden that is symmetrically divided into four parts along its central axes and typically has a fountain at its middle."

Buildings could be made of cob / clay / mud
By Hicbd
"On top of that the Rays claim to save money on air conditioning as the structure runs colder than a typical home. Temperatures in Montana can be as hot as 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer yet a cob home typically stays as cool as 70 degrees - even without air conditioning, according to Daniel."

Fountains could waltz to lights and music
By Hicbd
"In the 1920's, German inventor, Otto Przystawik, conceived the idea of combining the beauty of fountains with the music and gracefulness of ballet. Thus, “Przystawik’s Dancing Fountains” were born. In the beginning, he created fountains on a small scale for display in restaurants and stores...Today, Michael Przystawik is at the helm and has incorporated the latest in space age technology, creating even more advanced designs. Heralding the dawn of a new millennium, “Waltzing Waters ® – Liquid Fireworks ®” continue to set the world standard for water, light and music spectaculars."

Pneumatic tubes could be used for flirting in nightclubs
By Hicbd
"Beginning in the 1920s, nightclub-goers in Berlin who feared face-to-face encounters could communicate with beautiful strangers from across the room. All they needed to do? Turn to the nearest pneumatic tube...Phones were fixed to individual tables, and above many was a lighted number. Singles needed only to look around the room until a fetching stranger caught their eye, note the number, and then direct a message to that table."

Fundal pressure / massage after childbirth could be unnecessary
By Hicbd
"Anyone who has felt this “massage” knows it’s NOT comfortable…so is it needed for everyone?...So if you received postpartum oxytocin and your fundus is firm you can probably opt out of the fundal massages! No research though on those who do not receive postpartum oxytocin if fundal massage would lessen blood loss."

"The main electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, and phosphate. Based on the latest nutritional evidence, folks tend to be deficient in sodium, potassium, and magnesium— so I’ll zoom in on them in this article...Nonetheless, your kidneys can’t always maintain balance if you are consuming too little of any electrolyte. Drinking too much water and living a low-carb lifestyle—to name two situations—can result in electrolyte imbalances."
