How to Research Your Symptoms Online
People use the Internet to research a myriad of things from what they should buy to why they have pain. These guidelines will help you learn how to research your symptoms online if you have concerns.
Use a Medical MD Symptom Checker
As soon as you enter the phrase, “how to research health symptoms,” into any search engine, you’ll receive results for at least one or more reputable medical MD symptom checkers. These symptoms checkers ask your age, gender, primary symptoms, if you’re pregnant, the severity of your symptoms, your current medications and past or current conditions. Once you click submit, a list of conditions that match your symptoms will appear. You’ll have the option to edit your symptoms or start over if you wish.
Check Reputable Websites
If you can’t find what you’re looking for using a free medical symptom checker, there are websites with articles or blog posts that list symptoms. Make sure you’re looking at reputable websites that end with .org or .edu because these sites tend to contain scholarly or medical information that can be trusted. The Internet is full of information that’s published and not verified. Therefore, it’s essential that you’re looking up symptoms on a website that presents information that’s been fact-checked.
Go to a Doctor’s Website
Under some circumstances, you’ll find an online symptom checker on a physician’s website. If you can’t find a MD symptom checker, you’ll find a plethora of resources on these websites. Doctors work diligently toward providing information for their patients in the way of medical library research materials, informational articles, blog posts and podcasts. Therefore, if you can find a symptom checker, you should be able to find information about the symptoms you’re experiencing.
Visit Forums
Sometimes it helps to hear what others are experiencing when you’re undergoing symptoms that don’t match up with the search results you’ve found. Therefore, it’s time to check out user forums. These discussion areas contain experiences from users who go into detail about the symptoms they’re having, what’s happening throughout their experience and if they’re having successful or unsuccessful treatment. Be cautious, though, as these forums will not replace medical advice and may lead to more worry than help.
Check Out Question-and-Answer Websites
Much like a discussion forum, these websites are where users post specific questions to other users regarding issues they’re experiencing. Under many circumstances, these questions pertain to symptoms they’re experiencing and where they can find resources. Other users will help them find pertinent information regarding their specific symptoms when they feel they’ve exhausted every other avenue.

Writing an Abstract
Oral presentation, compiling a powerpoint.
Abstract : a short statement that describes a longer work.
- Indicate the subject.
- Describe the purpose of the investigation.
- Briefly discuss the method used.
- Make a statement about the result.
Oral presentations usually introduce a discussion of a topic or research paper. A good oral presentation is focused, concise, and interesting in order to trigger a discussion.
- Be well prepared; write a detailed outline.
- Introduce the subject.
- Talk about the sources and the method.
- Indicate if there are conflicting views about the subject (conflicting views trigger discussion).
- Make a statement about your new results (if this is your research paper).
- Use visual aids or handouts if appropriate.
An effective PowerPoint presentation is just an aid to the presentation, not the presentation itself .
- Be brief and concise.
- Focus on the subject.
- Attract attention; indicate interesting details.
- If possible, use relevant visual illustrations (pictures, maps, charts graphs, etc.).
- Use bullet points or numbers to structure the text.
- Make clear statements about the essence/results of the topic/research.
- Don't write down the whole outline of your paper and nothing else.
- Don't write long full sentences on the slides.
- Don't use distracting colors, patterns, pictures, decorations on the slides.
- Don't use too complicated charts, graphs; only those that are relatively easy to understand.

How to make a PowerPoint presentation from a research paper?
Academic presentations could be based on research in progress, unfinished work or the full drafts of a research paper. An academic presentation is a sort of like an advertisement for the paper than an attempt to present all the information in the paper. You need to focus on what is important, highlighting the bold outcomes and results is the key here. The below format is a very basic design showing you how to make a PowerPoint presentation from a research paper:
- Introduction (1 slide)
- Research Questions/Hypotheses (1 slide)
- Literature Review/Theory (1 slide)
- Methods & Data Collection (1 slide)
- Data Presentation/Findings (3-5 slides)
- Conclusion (1 slide)
Obviously, this is just a general guideline. It is however important that you focus on your findings, future implication of your work and limitation since it is the potential for future research. During a presentation method and data collection sections should be kept short. Though, this all depends on the nature of the work.
To create a presentation from a full-length paper or article, you can pull out the most important parts of the article, based on the above list or based on the subheadings in your own article.
For the introduction, you can use the same compelling introduction you use in your paper. In the PowerPoint presentation, it is a good idea to find a picture that describes the aim of your research. Visuals are considered very effective tools for keeping the audience interested and for conveying a point.
Your next slide should contain your research questions mentioned in your introduction as well.
Then, spend no more than a minute contextualizing your research questions and project within the literature. Don’t make the mistake of spending too much time reviewing what others have written about your topic. You just want to illustrate the fact that your work contributes to existing research in the field. People don’t come to conferences to hear literature reviews, they want new information and mind-blowing findings. They want to see the real implications of the findings to the global challenges at hand. The concrete practical solutions.
Think about the questions people might have such as: what data set did you use? How many interviews did you carry out? How many months of participant observation did you complete? What is the timeframe for the data? The geographical observations. Give just enough information to validate your findings for the methodology section.
You should be able to go through all of the above in the first five minutes so that you can spend as much of your time as possible sharing the rich detail of your own data and analyses. If you have ethnographic data, you can tell one story from the field for each point you want to make. For statistical data, you can present a table with findings for each finding you wish to highlight. For interview data, you can use one interview quotes for each theme you plan to highlight.
Once you bold out the significant findings, you can leave a minute or two for your conclusion. Again make sure you use visuals, story format, case studies, quotes, even videos to explain your result to make it very appealing to the audience.
As you make each slide, remember to put a few words as possible on each slide, and place an image on each slide to convey your points visually.

- 44. Thesis Defence<br />The exam is to check it’s your work...<br />Talk fluently about the work;<br />show you’ve thought about it (which you have!).<br />This is easy<br />after all you’ve spent four+ years talking about it!<br />...and a chance to clarify things that aren’t clear in the thesis.<br />These are areas where corrections are likely.<br />

- 46. Tips to be Covered<br />Outlines<br />Slide Structure<br />Fonts<br />Color<br />Background<br />Graphs<br />Spelling and Grammar<br />Conclusions<br />Questions<br />
- 47. Outline <br />Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your presentation<br />Ex: previous slide<br />Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation<br />Only place main points on the outline slide<br />Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points<br />
- 48. Slide Structure – Good<br />Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation<br />Write in point form, not complete sentences<br />Include 4-5 points per slide<br />Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only<br />
- 49. Slide Structure - Bad<br />This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.<br />
- 50. Slide Structure – Good<br />Show one point at a time:<br />Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying<br />Will prevent audience from reading ahead<br />Will help you keep your presentation focused<br />

- 52. Fonts - Good<br />Use at least an 18-point font<br />Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points<br />this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the title font is 36-point<br />Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial<br />
- 53. Fonts - Bad<br />If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written<br />CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ<br />Don’t use a complicated font<br />
- 54. Color - Good<br />Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the background<br />Ex: blue font on white background<br />Use color to reinforce the logic of your structure<br />Ex: light blue title and dark blue text<br />Use color to emphasize a point<br />But only use this occasionally<br />
- 55. Colour - Bad<br />Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read <br />Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying.<br />Using a different color for each point is unnecessary<br />Using a different color for secondary points is also unnecessary<br />Trying tobe creativecan alsobebad<br />
- 56. Background - Good<br />Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive but simple<br />Use backgrounds which are light<br />Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation<br />
- 57. Background – Bad<br />Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from<br />Always be consistent with the background that you use<br />
- 58. Graphs - Good<br />Use graphs rather than just charts and words<br />Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data<br />Trends are easier to visualize in graph form<br />Always title your graphs<br />
- 59. Graphs - Good<br />
- 60. Graphs - Bad<br />
- 61. Graphs - Bad<br />
- 62. Graphs - Bad<br />Minor gridlines are unnecessary<br />Font is too small<br />Colors are illogical<br />Title is missing<br />Shading is distracting<br />
- 63. Spelling and Grammar<br />Proof your slides for:<br />speling mistakes<br />the use of of repeated words<br />grammatical errors you might have make <br />If English is not your first language, please have someone else check your presentation!<br />
- 64. Conclusion<br />Use an effective and strong closing<br />Your audience is likely to remember your last words<br />Use a conclusion slide to:<br />Summarize the main points of your presentation<br />Suggest future avenues of research<br />
- 65. Questions??<br />End your presentation with a simple question slide to:<br />Invite your audience to ask questions<br />Provide a visual aid during question period<br />Avoid ending a presentation abruptly<br />
