Root Canal Treatment(RCT) : The unique way to save your damaged Tooth

2009-04-13T04:31:00.000-07:00

If you do not brush properly or take sweets regularly a cavity may be developed in your teeth. In early stage of cavity you can protect your teeth by filling. If the cavity is unattended for a long time the pulp of the tooth becomes infected and consequently your teeth will be damaged. At the beginning of infection you will feel uneasy or little pain to take hot or cold drink and afterwards you have to suffer from severe toothache. You may think to extract your infected tooth. Stop extracting your tooth. There is a way to restore the health of your damaged tooth. How is it possible? It is possible through Root Canal Therapy or RCT.

What is Root Canal Therapy(Root Canal Treatment):
Root Canal Therapy is the treatment to restore the healthy condition of a damaged tooth.

What is Root Canal:
Basically a tooth has two parts: Crown and Root. Crown means the visible white part above the gum and roots is the anchor of jawbone. The bone holds the tooth with the help of small ligaments attached to the tooth. Root canal is the canal inside the tooth. Main canal may be one or two with some intricate branches. It contains soft tissue, the dental pulp. The pulp receives nutrition through the blood vessels and nerves carry signals back to the brain to warn of adverse events and circumstances.
When root canal treatment is required:
When you visit your dentist for toothache, he will ask you how you feel pain at the time of drinking or chewing. Severe pain in tooth during chewing or during drinking of hot or cold drinks or swelling around the gum of a damaged tooth may require root canal treatment. Your dentist will suggest for x-ray to assess the underlying roots and surrounding bone and evaluate the condition of your gum.
How root canal therapy done:
The basic idea of the therapy is to remove the pulp from the root canal. First the tooth will be separated with the help of rubber dam kit. Then the dentist will make a small whole on the crown to eliminate all the content of the pulp chamber with the help of tiny and flexible files. Then with the help of delicate file your dentist will clean the canal with up and down motion so that the canals are disinfected. Then the cavity will be temporarily sealed.
How many seatings are required:
Depending upon the condition of tooth, position of tooth, number of root etc. it may take three to five seatings.
Is it possible to restore the health of a damaged tooth fully through RCT:
Since the tooth receives nutrients from the adjacent tissues and bone so the tooth is not a dead tooth and bring back the sensitivity and you may feel like your other teeth.
How much painful it is:
Now a days Root canal therapy is almost painless.
How long the treated tooth last: If you take proper care by regular brushing especially after each primary meal, take less sweets and undertake regular dental check up, your tooth may last long.

Pregnancy and transmission of HIV

2008-02-07T08:25:00.000-08:00

It is utmost importance that a mother should be aware of the possibility of HIV transmission to her baby. She should be undergone test before or on the onset of pregnancy so that sufficient precautions can be taken for prevention of perinatal HIV infection. Without proper treatment up to 30% of babies infected with HIV may born to the women having HIV positive. Moreover after delivery up to 20% babies may be infected with HIV through breast-feeding.

Transmission of HIV
HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus causes AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Although HIV is mostly passed from one person to another through sexual contact, but it also spreads through body fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk. HIV is usually transmitted through sharing needles, unprotected anal, vaginal and sometimes oral sex and from mother to infant before or during delivery or while breastfeeding.

How HIV pass on to baby from mother
Baby may get infected with HIV in the womb, in the vaginal passage and through breast milk. Transmission of HIV to baby may take place during pregnancy, during labor and during delivery or after delivery through breast feeding.
During pregnancy, the mother’s antibodies against HIV are passed on to her baby. So some babies of women with HIV may test positive for HIV antibodies at first. This does not necessarily imply that the baby is infected. The baby’s immune system will start making antibodies of their own only between 6 and 18 months of age. If the baby is infected with HIV, he or she will still lose the mother’s antibodies, but the baby will start to make antibodies to HIV. The baby will test positive and continue to test positive for HIV.

Tests
The CD4 test gives the immunological status while the viral load test gives information about the severity of infection. These results guide the clinician when to initiate therapy and regimens to be adopted. Other advanced tests like PCR and viral culture can also be used to check babies for HIV infection depending on availability of tests.

Prevention
Voluntary testing and counseling is required for preventing HIV infection among parents. HIV positive women should avoid unwanted pregnancies and access to antiretroviral therapy, safe delivery practices, and the widespread availability and safe use of breast-milk substitutes are the effective ways of prevention of mother to child transmission. Since HIV is found in breast milk, so there is a chance to pass HIV to the baby. Boiled milk can be fed to baby to stop the transmissions of HIV as heat can destroy the HIV. Shorter period of delivery time can decrease the chance of transmission of HIV. Mothers with a high viral load might reduce their risk if they give birth their baby by cesarean section. This helps in protecting the child from direct contact with her blood and other bodily fluids. Antiretroviral can minimize the possibility HIV transmission to baby. ARVs are assumed to be safer for the baby but long-term effects are as yet unknown. The earlier HIV is diagnosed during, before or after pregnancy, the better are the chances of success. The most important time for an HIV positive pregnant woman to take ARVs is during labor. Transmission rates are only 1% to 2% if the mother takes combination antiretroviral therapy

Pregnancy symptom

Pregnancy Symptom - Nature Has Its Own Unique Ways
By: alien

Nature has its own ways of declaring the presence of a life growing within you. An alert woman can make out the changes in her body and judge the pregnancy symptom for what it is. But it is always better to confirm yourself that you are pregnant before taking an appointment with your family consultant, lest you make a fool of yourself.

Pregnancy Symptom - Nature At Work

The moment you conceive your body starts to give signals of pregnancy health in many forms. This is because your body is now preparing itself to welcome a new life. As a first sign of pregnancy, the body starts to produce the hormone HCG. A test of the urine can easily locate this HCG hormone. Reflecting a physical symptom of pregnancy, your breasts become tender. The areola below the nipples begins to darken and grow in size as the breasts become bigger and heavier. This condition remains with you throughout your pregnancy. You can also experience a tingling sensation in the breasts as well. All these physical symptoms indicate that you are pregnant. Once pregnant you also begin to tire very soon and wish to sleep all the time, besides, when you get up you have a deep craving for food. You want to eat everything you can lay your hands on.

One more symptom of pregnancy health condition which is a sure sign of pregnancy is the missing of a monthly period. Ideally, you should undertake a pregnancy test once you have missed a period. An additional pregnancy symptom is the spot of slight bleeding you notice on your panties. Please do not be alarmed, this is only the result of implantation of the egg in the uterine wall.

Every woman may have a different pregnancy symptom. In your first pregnancy you may experience a slight pain in your breasts as they become harder and heavier. You may also experience body aches. Some women may get a feeling of nausea or vomiting. Sometimes you experience constipation and your behavior becomes very irritable too.

However, there is a word of caution here as well. Although these conditions may be present in big or small measures in most cases of pregnancy, there may be situations where there are no conditional symptoms at all. Therefore, it is advisable to take a formal HCG urine test periodically to ascertain pregnancy.

There can be another pregnancy symptom besides the ones disclosed above.

You should be ready to accept the vast changes in your mood; one minute you will be laughing and the next minute you start crying on a very silly issue.

In either case, be ready to change nappies and cuddle your bundle of joy in the near future. Be a happy mother forever.

Plastic Surgery at low cost

2007-04-03T04:13:00.001-07:00

Plastic Surgery Goes MainstreamBy: Lloyd M. Krieger, MD
Plastic surgery has historically been viewed as an exclusive and costly service only the rich and famous could afford to pursue. Not anymore.With even the most dramatic and promising cosmetic surgery procedures becoming safer, more common and far less complicated than ever as well as a growing inventory of options now available for financing, plastic surgery of all forms is becoming an increasingly popular life-enhancement choice for the middle class.As a plastic surgeon in California I can say that our plastic surgery center in Beverly Hills is a good case in point. People in the entertainment industry seeking enhancement surgeries and other cosmetic reconstruction now share seats in our waiting room with mothers from the suburbs, college coeds and a growing number of men from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. At our center, we may have many clients from the entertainment industry, but we treat everybody like a celebrity.There is a distinct demographic shift taking place today. Plastic surgery is becoming a growing phenomenon among the middle class because the perception that it is exclusively an option for rich white women is waning. We are seeing people from all walks of life seeking cosmetic surgery – people from a wide variety of age groups, ethnicities, family situations, and economic stations.Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery also offers our patients customized financing packages to cover individual procedures, such the "Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover" a popular choice for large numbers of Latino women in their 20's and 30's. The mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck, breast lift and frequently a breast augmentation with a small breast implant. The procedure helps the moms get their body back to the way it was before they began having babies.Financing surgery is becoming a popular option for those who do not have cash set aside. Others are socking money away for a variety of procedures, much as they would for any luxury item or family vacation. A lot of people save up for the surgery, and others chose to do financing. They are shifting their views on the expenses involved and see surgery as an important investment and first step toward an enhancement plan for the rest of their lives.Part of the change comes because today’s plastic surgery is performed using improved technology. This results in less expensive and safer procedures with less down time. So now people with responsibilities both at work and at home can take time out for procedures, removing plastic surgery from the exclusive provenance of the leisure class. We also are doing most cosmetic surgery procedures in outpatient surgery centers which greatly improves the ease and convenience of procedures when compared to those done in the hospital setting.

Relief from Menstruation Pain

2007-03-02T17:43:00.001-08:00

Relief from Menstruation Pain

Menstruation is the process or time of menstruating. In short, menstruate means discharge of blood etc from the uterus generally once in a month. Menstruation starts at the age of 10-12 years of a girl. It may continue up to the age of 40-45 years. When the ovum is matured in the ovaries it is surrounded by a type of sac which is known as follicle. The follicle opens and releases the ripened ovum. This process is called ovulation. Roughly after every 28 days one egg is released alternatively from the two ovaries. The time may vary from 22 days to 40 days and the flow of blood may last for five to seven days. During the period from 14 to 45 years of a woman about 300-400 eggs are discharged but maximum eggs are not fertilized. If conception takes place, the matured ovum gets embedded in the uterus. When conception does not take place the egg or ovum along with the thickened lining of the uterus and extra blood is discharged through the vagina. This is called menstruation.

Sometime a girl or woman may feel pain during the time of menstruation or just before the menstruation. The pain is due to muscular contraction. One should not be worried. Proper exercise, forming regular habit of defecation and proper diet can give relief from menstruation pain. If the pain is beyond control, advice of doctor may be taken.

Causes of Hair Loss

Causes of Hair Loss
By: Maria David

Hair loss, in both men and women, can be a difficult matter to face. Most of the time, the individuals who are dealing with hair loss focus solely on the prevention/treatment of hair loss rather than the origin, which may aid in the prevention/treatment of hair loss. Although hair loss causes vary from person to person, there are a few main factors that cause hair loss, such as heredity and aging.

In men, the most common causes of hair loss are heredity, hormones and aging. These contribute to the potential for men to lose hair. In women, some common causes of hair loss include poor circulation, hormonal changes after menopause or having a baby, and poor diet. A few other causes of hair loss include high stress, diabetes, certain drugs, chemicals and hair dyes, vitamin deficiencies and poor nutrition, and so on. Find out more about Female Hair Loss

In the case of losing hair based on genes, there may not be much that men or women can do in the way of prevention. Chances are that if a parent or close relative, or many close relatives, suffer from hair loss, these individuals with also have hair loss caused by heredity. In these instances, hair loss acts like a genetic based disease or trait that carries itself in DNA. However, not all hair loss is heredity based. In fact, some individuals may experience hair loss, while their parents and close relatives have not. Usually, this means that another factor is causing the hair loss, like high stress or poor nutrition.

When individuals experience hair loss at early ages or in drastic amounts, this generally indicates that these persons are sustaining an agent that is contributing to the hair loss. As aforementioned, along with others, causes of hair loss, especially in premature and/or drastic cases, are heredity, high stress and weakness from overworking, hair dyes and other chemicals, diseases, and so on.

Depending on the reasons for hair loss, there are different methods to attempt to treat this condition; however, it is important to first recognize the cause of hair loss in order to discern which type of treatment to use, if any. For example, if the cause of hair loss is a disease, or treatment for a disease, like in the case of using chemotherapy to treat cancer, then a treatment may not aid in the prevention of hair loss. Yet, if the cause of hair loss is from stress, then attempts may be made to prevent stress and treatment products may be used to repair already damaged hair.

Overall, hair loss, no matter what the cause, is a difficult matter to confront. Knowing the cause of hair loss, however, may contribute to the prevention/treatment of hair loss. Individuals may not have control over why they are losing hair – from heredity to aging – yet they may find the necessary means to attempt to treat the damaged hair. The multiple factors contributing to hair loss make the task of undertaking the treatment of hair loss difficult, but not impossible. Even in the most extreme cases, there is usually a solution for the cause.

Male Hair Loss Treatment
By: Sudhani1

There are many potential causes of hair loss in men, including disease, nutritional deficiency, hormone imbalances, and stress. Male hair loss is not always attributable to just one cause, but often results from a combination of several of these factors. Hair loss treatments that are aimed at one particular factor may be less effective in the presence of additional hair loss factors. The most common cause of male hair loss is androgenetic alopecia. The factors involved in androgenetic alopecia are:

" A genetic propensity for balding and thinning hair

" Age

" The presence of male hormones (called androgens) in the scalp

Alopecia is simply the medical term for hair loss. Androgenetic refers to a genetic predisposition to balding, one that typically becomes more noticeable and pronounced with age. The influence of androgens such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) plays a major part in this type of hair loss. Age and genetics cannot be changed, so many hair loss products are aimed at the third factor; addressing the presence of androgens in the scalp. Most successful hair loss treatments, particularly prescription hair loss medications, are typically targeted at reducing the presence of DHT in the scalp, or blocking the formation of DHT that leads to male hair loss. Prescription hair loss treatments are targeted at one phase of DHT, the production of it as a byproduct of the male androgen testosterone. These prescription hair loss treatments can also interfere with testosterone however, in addition to treating hair loss.

Procerin(http://www.procerin.com/) uses only all-natural DHT blockers to block the transformation of testosterone into DHT. No sexual side effects are present, because these DHT blockers do not interfere with testosterone, like most prescription hair loss treatments do. Procerin also includes herbal and mineral ingredients that aid the body in reducing the levels of harmful DHT in the scalp. Procerin provides proven DHT blockers, as well as vitamins and minerals critical to maintaining existing hair in one easy to use hair loss treatment.

Now, First of all, What is Hair Made of?
Hair is composed primarily of proteins (88%). These proteins are of a hard fibrous type known as keratin. Keratin protein is comprised of what we call "polypeptide chains.” The word, polypeptide, comes from the Greek word "poly" meaning many and "peptos" meaning digested or broken down. In essence, if we break down protein, we have individual amino acids.

Many amino acids joined together form a "polypeptide chain". Two amino acids are joined together by a "peptide bond", and the correct number of amino acids placed in their correct order will form a specific protein; i.e. keratin, insulin, collagen and so on.
