But taking good care of any (04) that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection.
Medical experts say the first step in treating a (05) is to use clean water. Lake or ocean (06) should not be used. To clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean (07) and soap. They say there is no need to use products like (08) peroxide or iodine.
It is important to remove all dirt and other (09) from the wound. After the wound is clean, use a small amount of antibiotic ointment or cream.

In December, AIDS researchers (01) findings about adult male circumcision. Two studies in Africa found that circumcised men had about half the risk (02) getting HIV from sex with women as uncircumcised men had. The studies took place in Kenya and Uganda.
HIV rates are generally lower in areas of the world where (03) removal of the foreskin from the penis is common in babies or (04) boys.
The findings of the African studies were so clear (05) the United States National Institutes of Health decided to end both studies early. All the men involved now are being offered (06) .
The researchers said male circumcision could also lead to (07) infections in women where (08) is spread through heterosexual sex. Health experts say they hope circumcision will become one of the basic tools to fight HIV and AIDS. But they expect some cultural and economic barriers. Some people have also expressed another (09) about circumcision. They say it might make men think they do not need to do anything else to prevent HIV (10) .

These days, if we hear about two different plants being combined, the first thing we think of is modern (01) . But the low-technology process of (02) remains an extremely important form of genetic engineering in agriculture.
Many kinds of plants are grown not (03) seeds but from pieces cut from existing plants. Farmers cut branches or buds, young growths, from one plant and place them on a related kind of plant.
The branch or bud that is grafted is called a scion (pronounced SY-uhn). The plant that accepts the graft is called the (04) stock.
Over time, the parts from the two plants grow together. The grafted plant begins to produce the (05) and fruit of the scion, not the root stock. A graft can be cut in several ways. A cleft graft, for example, requires a (06) with several buds on it. The bottom of the scion is cut in the (07) of the letter V. A place is cut in the root stock to accept the scion.
The scion is then (08) placed into the cut on the root stock. Material called a growth medium is put on the joint to keep it wet and help the growth.
Grafting can join scions with (09) qualities to root stock that is strong and resists disease and (10) . Smaller trees can be grafted with older scions
