In medicine, a contraindication 反症状(有此症状则不能吃某药) is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient. Contraindication is the opposite of indication, which is a reason to use a certain treatment. Some contraindications are absolute, meaning that there are no reasonable circumstances for undertaking a course of action. For example, children and teenagers with viral infections should not be given aspirin because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, and a person with an anaphylactic food allergy should never eat the food to which they are allergic. Similarly, a person with hemochromatosis should not be administered iron preparations. Other contraindications are relative, meaning that the patient is at higher risk of complications, but these risks may be outweighed by other considerations or mitigated by other measures. For example, a pregnant woman should normally avoid getting X-rays, but the risk may be outweighed by the benefit of diagnosing (and then treating) a serious condition such as tuberculosis. Relative contraindications may also be referred to as cautions, such as in the British National Formulary. 4.

爱情三角: Following the revelations that Rob Kardashian has struck up a romance with Blac Chyna - who has a child with his sister Kylie's boyfriend Tyga - we've put together a list of cringe-worthy celeb love triangles that are just a little too close for comfort. Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid and Ashley Greeene all dated... Joe Jonas. The girls all enjoyed flings with the former Disney star between 2008 and 2015. However, it doesn't seem to have caused much of a rift 隔阂, 嫌隙, 缝隙, 猜忌. Taylor is pretty pally [ˈpæli] with ( Having a close, friendly relationship: I see you're getting quite pally with Carlos. They've become very pally (with each other). Suddenly she started acting very pally towards me. ) Demi and Gigi and they recently appeared in her video Bad Blood. On the topic of former Disney stars and the Jonas brothers, Selena Gomez and Miley Cryus both famously dated the youngest sibling Nick. Miley enjoyed a romance with the Camp Rock star from 2006 to 2007 and Selena is then thought to have dated him on and off until 2010. ALL of them apparently wrote about the Disney love triangle in their songs. And that's not the only love triange Selena has been a part of. She and her BFF Taylor Swift have both dated... Taylor Lautner. The Red singer famously enjoyed a three month fling with the Twilight star in August 2009. However, Selena reportedly chatted about her relationship with Lautner and how great it was in Sepetmber that year. Awkward! The pair aren't the only BFF's to have gone after the same man. Our favourite Friends' duo Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox also chased the same hunk back in the 90s. Apparently at one time or another they were both totally smitten with Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz. Jen is thought to have dated Adam in 1995 but he has denied the pair ever hooked up. In 1997 he went on to date Courteney after she appeared in the video for his track A Long December. Finally, there isn't a love triangle that can compare to the Justin Bieber/Kendall Jenner/Hailey Baldwin/Kourtney Kardashian fiasco. Justin appeared to confirm he was dating model Hailey last month after posting snaps of them kissing on holiday just weeks after he was linked to 36-year-old mum of three Kourtney Kardashian. To make matters worse he's also reported to have dated Kourtney's half sister Kendall, 20, in late 2014 - who just happens to be his current girlfriend Hailey's best pal. On top of all that Justin was previously in an on/off relationship with Selena for four years. The Spring Breakers star had been good friends with Kendall before the rumoured fling with her ex.

Is there a difference at all? These were the very first simple questions I had about frothing milk when I started experimenting with making lattes and cappuccinos for the first time in my own home and they're probably the first questions most beginners have too. First of the difference between froth and foam is simple and mostly semantics. They are both basically the same thing. Milk with small bubbles. The difference is in the texture. Foam usually consists of bigger, lighter bubbles that tend to sit on top of the milk or coffee. Froth is consistent with tighter bubbles that mix together with the milk and coffee resulting in a thicker textured drink from top to bottom. Foam is much easier to make and many working baristas really only make foam despite their best intentions. When tighter froth is not made correctly steamed milk added to drinks tends to be flat even though there may be tons of fluffy foam on top of the drink. A keen eye 仔细看, 注意看, 多留心, 多留意 can see the difference ( a keen eye for something 善于观察, 善于察言观色, 容易发现, 眼神尖利, 眼尖 an ability to notice and recognize something. My friend's a tireless shopper with a keen eye for a bargain. to have a keen eye for detail Susan has a keen eye for detail, so each dress is beautifully finished. keen-eyed having keen eyesight. ) and most people can taste the difference too. From my 10 years experience in a coffee shop, I'd say the distinction is that froth沫沫 is more accidental, but foam泡泡 must be created. You can make a kind of froth by shaking a jug of (very) cold milk before pouring, but to make foam usually requires steam injection or using a blender which can introduce more air into the mixture. So, if you're ordering in a coffee shop, ask for foam rather than froth. It's a very slight difference, and nobody will think it odd to say froth. But the word foam pays a little more respect to the labor involved. It's just a little bit more courteous. Since you asked.
