Gallstones Cause Varicose Veins, Problems of The Heart, Spleen, Hormones, Circulation And Congestion

2011-06-30T00:40:00.000-07:00

Gallstones in the liver may lead to poor circulation, enlargement of the heart and spleen, varicose veins, congested lymph vessels, and hormone imbalances. When gallstones have grown large enough to seriously distort the structural framework of the lobules (units) of the liver, blood flow through the liver becomes increasingly difficult. This not only raises the venous blood pressure in the liver, but also raises it in all the organs and areas of the body that drain used blood through their respective veins into the liver's portal vein. Restricted blood flow in that portal vein causes congestion, particularly in the spleen, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, gallbladder, and small and large intestines. This can lead to an enlargement of these organs, to a reduction of their ability to remove cellular waste products, and to a clogging of their respective veins.

A varicose vein is one that is so dilated that the valves do not sufficiently close to prevent blood from flowing backward. Sustained pressure on the veins at the junction of the rectum and anus in the large intestine leads to the development of hemorrhoids, a type of varicose vein. Other common sites of varicose veins are the legs, the esophagus, and the scrotum. Dilation of veins and venules (small veins) can occur anywhere in the body. It always indicates an obstruction of blood flow.

Prescribed by doctors in Germany as a highly successful alternative to surgery for varicose veins, the herbal remedy horse chestnut seed, or conkers, is very effective in the treatment of 'heavy legs', hemorrhoids, and cramps. In combination with cleansing of the liver, colon, and kidneys, conkers can lead to complete recovery.

Poor blood flow through the liver always affects the heart. When the organs of the digestive system become weakened by an increase in venous pressure, they become congested and begin to accumulate harmful waste, including debris from cells that have been broken down. The spleen becomes enlarged while it is dealing with the extra workload associated with removing damaged or worn-out blood cells. This further slows blood circulation to and from the organs of the digestive system, which stresses the heart, raises blood pressure, and injures blood vessels. The right half of the heart, which receives venous blood via the inferior vena cava from the liver and all other parts below the lungs, becomes overloaded with toxic, sometimes infectious, material. This eventually causes enlargement, and possibly infection, of the right side of the heart.

Almost all types of heart disease have one thing in common: blood flow is being obstructed. But blood circulation does not become disrupted easily. It must be preceded by a major congestion of the bile ducts in the liver. Gallstones obstructing the bile ducts dramatically reduce or cut off the blood supply to the liver cells. Reduced blood flow through the liver affects the blood flow in the entire body, which, in turn, has a detrimental effect on the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system, which is closely linked with the immune system, helps to clear the body of harmful metabolic waste products, foreign material, and cell debris. All cells release metabolic waste products into, and take up nutrients from, a surrounding solution, called extracellular fluid or connective tissue. The degree of nourishment and efficiency of the cells depends on how swiftly and completely waste material is removed from the extracellular fluid. Since most waste products cannot pass directly into the blood for excretion, they accumulate in the extracellular fluid until they are removed and detoxified by the lymphatic system. The potentially harmful material is filtered and neutralized by lymph nodes that are strategically located throughout the body. One of the key functions of the lymphatic system is to keep the extracellular fluid clear of toxic substances, which makes this a system of utmost importance.

Poor circulation of blood in the body causes an overload of foreign, harmful waste matter in the extracellular tissues and, consequently, in the lymph vessels and lymph nodes as well. When lymph drainage slows down or becomes obstructed, the thymus gland, tonsils, and spleen start to deteriorate quite rapidly. These organs form an important part of the body's system of purification and immunity. In addition, microbes harbored in gallstones can be a constant source of recurring infection in the body, which may render the lymphatic and immune systems ineffective against more serious infections, such as infectious mononucleosis, measles, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, syphilis, and the like.

Owing to restricted bile flow in the liver and gallbladder, the small intestine is restricted in its capacity to digest food properly. This permits substantial amounts of waste matter and poisonous substances, such as cadaverines and putrescines (breakdown products of putrefied food), to seep into the lymphatic ducts. These toxins, along with fats and proteins, enter the body's largest lymph vessel, the thoracic duct,at the cysterna chyli. The cysterna chyli are dilated lymph vessels in the shape of sacks, situated in front of the first two lumbar vertebrae at the level of the belly button.

Toxins, antigens, and undigested proteins from animal sources, including fish, meat, eggs, and dairy foods, as well as leaked plasma proteins, cause these lymph sacks to swell and become inflamed. When the cells of an animal become damaged or die, which happens seconds after it is killed, its protein structures are broken down by cellular enzymes. These so-called 'degenerate' proteins are useless for the body, and they become harmful unless they are promptly removed by the lymphatic system. Their presence usually invites enhanced microbial activity. Viruses, fungi, and bacteria feed on the pooled wastes. In some cases, allergic reactions occur.

When the cysterna chyli(lymph sacks) are overtaxed and congested, the lymphatic system is no longer able to sufficiently remove even the body's own degenerate proteins (from worn-out cells). This results in lymph edema. While lying on the back, existing lymph edema can be felt as hard knots, sometimes as large as a fist, in the area of the belly button. These 'rocks' are a major cause of middle and low back pain and abdominal swelling, and, in fact, of most symptoms of ill health. Many people who have grown a 'tummy' consider this abdominal extension to be just a harmless nuisance or a natural part of aging. They don't realize that they are breeding a living 'time bomb' that may go off some day and injure vital parts of the body. Anyone with a bloated abdomen suffers from major lymph congestion.

Some 80 percent of the lymphatic system is associated with the intestines, making this area of the body the largest center of immune activity. This is no coincidence. The part of the body where most disease-causing agents are combated or generated is, in fact, the intestinal tract. Any lymphedema, or other kind of obstruction in this important part of the lymphatic system, can lead to potentially serious complications elsewhere in the body.

Wherever a lymphduct is obstructed, lymph has also accumulated at some distance from the obstruction. Consequently, the lymph nodeslocated in such an area can no longer adequately neutralize or detoxify the following things: dead and live phagocytes and their ingested microbes, worn-out tissue cells, cells damaged by disease, products of fermentation, pesticides in food, toxic antibodies contained in most plant foods, inhaled or otherwise ingested chemical particles, cells from malignant tumors, and the millions of cancer cells every healthy person generates each day. Incomplete destruction of these things can cause these lymph nodes to become inflamed, enlarged, and congested with blood. Infected material may enter the bloodstream, causing septic poisoning and acute illnesses. In most cases, though, the lymph blockage occurs slowly, without any symptoms other than swelling of the abdomen, hands, arms, feet, or ankles, or sometimes puffiness in the face and eyes. This is often referred to as 'water retention', a major precursor of chronic illness.

Continuous lymphatic obstruction usually leads to chronic health problems. Almost every chronic illness results from congestion in the cysterna chyli. Eventually, the thoracic duct, which drains the cysterna chyli, is overburdened by the constant influx of toxic material and becomes clogged up, too. The thoracic duct is linked with numerous other lymph ducts that empty their waste into the thoracic 'sewer canal'.

Since the thoracic duct has to remove nearly 85 percent of the body's daily-generated cellular waste and other potentially hazardous material, a blockage there causes backing up of waste into other, more distant parts of the body.

When the daily-generated metabolic waste and cellular debris are not removed from an area in the body for a certain length of time, symptoms of disease start to manifest. The following are but a few typical examples of illness indicators that result directly from chronic, localized lymph congestion:

Obesity, cysts in the uterus or ovaries, enlargement of the prostate gland, rheumatism in the joints, enlargement of the left half of the heart, congestive heart failure, congested bronchi and lungs, swelling or enlargement of the neck area, stiffness in the neck and shoulders, backaches, headaches, migraines, dizziness, vertigo, ringing in the ears, earaches, deafness, dandruff, frequent colds, sinusitis, hay fever, certain types of asthma, thyroid enlargement, eye diseases, poor vision, swelling in the breasts, breast cancer, kidney problems, lower back pains, swelling of the legs and ankles, scoliosis, brain disorders, memory loss, stomach trouble, enlarged spleen, irritable bowel syndrome, hernia, polyps in the colon, and others.

The thoracic duct typically empties its detoxified waste contents into the left subclavian vein at the root of the neck. This vein enters the superior vena cava, which leads straight into the heart. In addition to blocking proper lymph drainage from the various organs or parts of the body, congestion in the cysterna chyli and thoraciuct permits toxic materials to be passed into the heart and heart arteries. This unduly stresses the heart. It also allows these toxins and disease-causing agents to enter the general circulation and spread to other parts of the body. Hardly a disease can be named that is not caused by lymphatic obstruction. Lymph blockage, in most cases, has its origin in a congested liver. In the extreme eventuality, lymphomaor cancer of the lymph may result, of which Hodgkin's disease is the most common type.

When the circulatory system begins to malfunction because of gallstones in the liver, the endocrine system starts to be affected as well. The endocrine glands produce hormones that pass directly from the glandular cells into the bloodstream, where they influence bodily activity, growth, and nutrition. The glands most often affected by congestion are the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, ovaries, and testes. A more severely disrupted circulatory function leads to imbalanced hormone secretions by the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and the pineal and pituitary glands. Blood congestion, which is characterized by the thickening of the blood, prevents hormones from reaching their target places in the body in sufficient amounts and on time. Consequently, the glands go into hypersecretion (overproduction) of hormones.

When lymph drainage from the glands is inefficient, the glands themselves become congested. This brings about hyposecretion (lack) of hormones. Diseases related to imbalances of the thyroid gland include toxic goiter, Graves' disease, cretinism, myxoedema, tumors of the thyroid, hypoparathyroidism. Thyroid disorders can also reduce calcium absorption and cause cataracts,as well as behavioral disorders and dementia.Poor calcium absorption, alone, is responsible for numerous diseases, including osteoporosis (loss of bone density). If circulatory problems disrupt the secretion of balanced amounts of insulin in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans,diabetes may develop.

Gallstones in the liver can cause liver cells to cut down protein synthesis. Reduced protein synthesis, in turn, prompts the adrenal glands to overproduce cortisol,a hormone that stimulates protein synthesis. Too much cortisol in the blood gives rise to atrophy of lymphoid tissue and a depressed immune response, which is considered the leading cause of cancer and many other major illnesses.

An imbalance in the secretion of adrenal hormones can cause a wide variety of disorders, as it leads to weakened febrile response (fever) and diminished protein synthesis. Proteins are the major building blocks for tissue cells, hormones, and so forth. The liver is capable of producing many different hormones. Hormones determine how well the body grows and heals.

The liver also inhibits certain hormones, including insulin, glucagon, cortisol, aldosterone, thyroid, and sex hormones. Gallstones in the liver impair this vital function, which may increase hormone concentrations in the blood. Hormone imbalance is an extremely serious condition and can easily occur when gallstones in the liver have disrupted major circulatory pathways that are also hormonal pathways. For example, by failing to keep blood cortisol levels balanced, a person may accumulate excessive amounts of fat in the body. If estrogens are not broken down properly, the risk of breast cancer increases. If blood insulin is not broken down properly, the risk of cancer rises, and the cells in the body may become resistant to insulin, which is a major precursor of diabetes.

Disease is naturally absent when blood flow and lymph flow are both unhindered and normal. Both types of problems - circulatory and lymphatic - can be successfully eliminated through a series of liver flushes and prevented by following a balanced diet and lifestyle.

And the Band Played On [VHS]

2011-06-29T18:01:00.000-07:00

A superior, made-for-cable film, this Home Box Office adaptation of Randy Shilts's chronicle detailing the emergence of AIDS in America and the fight against bureaucracy and society for a cure is a taut, outrageous, and affecting true-life drama. Matthew Modine (Birdy, Married to the Mob) is featured as a doctor with the Centers for Disease Control at the time when the first reports of a disease plaguing the gay community were heard. Modine and his colleagues embark on an investigation that resembles a compelling detective story as they try to track the source of the disease and discover a cure. Their efforts are thwarted by an ambivalent government and a turf war between French physicians and a celebrated American researcher (Alan Alda) who seems to place his own glory above the dead and the dying. Featuring heartfelt performances from a stellar cast including Richard Gere, Glenne Headly, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen, Saul Rubinek, and Lily Tomlin, this impassioned film stands as an impressive and important document of one of the darkest eras in modern human history, and a tribute to the spirit of those who sought to save lives. --Robert Lane

Older Women With Breast Cancer Probably Won't Die From It: Study (HealthDay)

2011-06-29T13:25:00.000-07:00

TUESDAY, June 21 (HealthDay News) -- Older women with breast cancer are more likely to die from cardiovascular disease and other causes than from their cancer, a new study finds.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 60,000 women in the United States, aged 66 and older, who were followed for at least 12 years after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

By the end of the follow-up period, nearly half of the women were still alive. Those who died lived to an average age of 83 and more than two-thirds of them died from causes other than breast cancer. In fact, cardiovascular disease killed more of the women than breast cancer.

Women who were most likely to die of breast cancer included those who were diagnosed at a younger age and those with a high tumor grade or estrogen receptor-negative status.

The pattern seen among the women in the study matches the pattern for women in the general population, where cardiovascular disease is the leading killer, the researchers said.

The study appears June 21 in the journal Breast Cancer Research.

"Cancer is a big killer and is responsible for about a quarter of all deaths. However, breast cancer is not necessarily a death sentence and patients need to take care of their health to reduce their risk of dying from heart disease and other age-related diseases," study author Jennifer Patnaik, of the University of Colorado, said in a journal news release.

Years of Air Pollution May Be Tied to Uncontrolled Asthma (HealthDay)

2011-06-29T10:13:00.000-07:00

TUESDAY, June 21 (HealthDay News) -- A strong association exists between long-term exposure to air pollution and uncontrolled asthma, new research indicates.

The study included 481 adults with asthma who provided details about their respiratory health between 2003 and 2007. The researchers compared this information with levels of three types of air pollution -- ozone (O3), nitrous oxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10) -- in the five cities in France where the participants lived.

About 44 percent of the participants had well-controlled asthma, 29 percent had partially controlled asthma and 27 percent had uncontrolled asthma. Women and older people were more likely to have uncontrolled asthma.

There was a strong association between poorer asthma control and levels of ozone and particulate matter. The risk of uncontrolled asthma was 69 percent higher among those with long-term exposure to ozone and 35 percent higher for those with long-term exposure to particulate matter.

The study appears online June 21 in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

"Our results indicate that both ambient O3 and PM10 concentrations jeopardize asthma control in adults," the researchers concluded in a journal news release. "Our results are robust."

Ringworm on Humans - Causes and Treatments

2011-06-29T07:01:00.000-07:00

Ringworms can appear on human body skin or scalp. The ringworm of the body, alternatively called tinea corporis occurs on the surface of the skin. It consists of a red, circular rash with fresh looking skin at the middle. It is very itchy and uncomfortable. Tinea capitis or the ringworm of the scalp looks almost the same way. Both types are fungal infections. Ringworm Treatment for humans exists and it is very imperative because it stops the spread of this highly contagious infection. Why should you seek out the available cures?

As mentioned above, this disease is very contagious and it can easily spread from humans to humans by skin to skin contact with sick persons. They can as well spread from an animal to a person. If you touch ringworms on the skin of your dog or cat without gloves, perhaps during a grooming session, you can get infected. Another common mode of transmission occurs if you touch or come into close contact with an item that has been previously touched by an infected person.

The fungi responsible for these itchy, flat rings can also reach the human skin from an infected soil but this form of transmission is very rare. Resuming our discussion, if a person ignores the ring worm condition on his or her skin, he or she could transmit it to other persons of the family. Not only would he or she pass the dermatophytes (micro-like fungi that cause ringworms) to people. Maybe he or she could also infect the domesticated animals. Getting ringworm treatment for humans is a necessary thing to do but you must also focus on prevention methods.

Ask the doctor to tell you all the possible triggers of the infection you have. Knowing the ways through which these microorganisms spread and infect people and animals is a plus. For example, living in very moist, humid and cluttered conditions can increase your risks of catching ring-worms. Another common mistake that people make even when undergoing treatment is sharing things. Wearing similar clothing, bedding, or bath items with another person who has this fungal infection is not recommended. A person who extremely sweats has a big risk of catching this fungi or another one who prefers to wear very tight garments.

Players of football, wrestling and other contact sports can also catch this bug. Last but not least, a weak immune system can heighten your probability of being infested by ringworm-causing fungi. When is the right time to see a doctor? The first things you will see are itchy, red rings on the surface of the skin. They may also overlap or appear singly. They will mostly appear on the face, trunk or scalp. One thing to note is that it is possible to have tinea infection without any rings showing on the skin. The time to see your doctor without wasting time is if you have noticed more swelling, reddening, or fever. Ringworm treatment for humans varies and the doctors are in the right position to discuss the right ones for you.

Alzheimer's Disease - The Memory Disease

2011-06-28T14:30:00.000-07:00

A lot has been written and spoken about the memory disease - Alzheimer's. It has also been a celluloid subject and much has been done for its awareness. But the real top medical news is the research that speaks about the brain implants that could restore memory in Alzheimer's sufferers. The electrical implant can bring back long-term memory which has been completely lost and improve it in others who have normal recall. Along with Alzheimer sufferers, it is also beneficial for stroke victims and people with brain injuries. In the current statistics of people over 65, one in three is expected to die with dementia and in UK, over 3,75,000 have Alzheimer's disease. If such condition continues, in just 10 years, a million people will be living with dementia.

Alzheimer's disease impairs memory and gradually affects thinking and behavior. It is the most popular form of dementia, which is a loss of brain function that occurs with certain diseases. A type of dementia, AD, gradually gets worse with time. It also affects language, judgment, decisiveness and personality over a period of time.

The risk factors for Alzheimer's may be family history and age. Combination of certain genes, a family history or some relatives having the disease and increasing age carries the risk of developing Alzheimer's. Some unproven risk factors also include history of head trauma and high BP since a long time. Alzheimer's disease can be categorized into the early onset and late onset groups. The symptoms in the early onset of AD start showing before the age of 60 and progresses rapidly and this kind of disease mostly runs in the family. Late onset of AD is a much common disease developing after the age of 60.

The reason behind the causing of AD is not known but it can be said that it may include both genetic and environmental factors. Earlier, the reason was guessed to be the buildup of aluminum, mercury, lead and other substances in the brain but it is no longer believed to be a cause. The most certain way of determining the presence of AD is to examine their brain tissue sample after their death. The common changes in the brain tissue are neurofibrillary tangles, senile plaques and neuritic plaques. Alzheimer's disease treatment is a drug treatment which works on slowing the symptoms of the disease and many a times there are no noticeable changes. Some other medicines may also be combined which are needed for agitated and aggressive behaviors, which may prove to be dangerous. It is also said that research is being done on early testing vaccine against AD.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, which causes thinking and memory to become seriously impaired. Find out about Alzheimer's disease and other top medical news from our website.

HIV guidelines to help homosexuals, trans-gender people (Reuters)

2011-06-28T11:18:00.000-07:00

GENEVA (Reuters) – Homosexual men and trans-gender people should get equal access to HIV/AIDS programs under the World Health Organization's first guidelines aimed at ending stigma that denies quality care to many, the U.N. agency said on Tuesday.

WHO also reported evidence of HIV infections surging again among men who have sex with men and people who change their gender, particularly in Western countries. The two groups are already hard hit by the AIDS epidemic that began 30 years ago.

"This is the first time that WHO, as a U.N. agency together with other partners, is putting this forward. It is sensitive but is right to the point and is really critical for the epidemic," Dr. Gottfried Hirnschall, director of the HIV/AIDS department at the WHO, told a news briefing.

The 21 recommendations form "the first global public health guidelines" to focus on homosexual men and trans-gender people, the WHO said in a statement. They are designed to help health care workers and policymakers overcome entrenched discrimination and offer them testing, counseling and life-saving treatment.

Homosexual men are 20 times more likely to be infected with the virus than males in the general population, and rates are even higher in Mexico, Thailand and Zambia, according to the United Nations agency. HIV infection rates among trans-gender people range from 8 to 68 percent, depending on the country.

An estimated 2 to 4 percent of males have reported having sex with another man during their lifetime, Hirnschall said.

"Certainly one thing that we know is that MSM behavior (men who have sex with men) exists in all cultures. Obviously, the level of acceptance and cultural mystification varies from culture to culture," he added.

CRIMINALISED SEXUAL Behavior

More than 75 countries criminalize same-gender sexual activity, according to the WHO. "And trans-gender people lack legal recognition in most countries," it said.

This forces many homosexuals and trans-gender people to risk criminal sanctions if they seek help from a health care worker. Police often have authority to harass support groups, it said.

"Because of the stigma, the discrimination, they will often access services late, they may not access them at all and often if they do access them the quality of services provided to them may be inferior," Hirnschall said.

"If a trans-gender, in many parts of the world, comes to a health service, she gets chased away at the door," he said. "If she ever makes it by the guy at the door, the next question is 'where do we put her, in which ward do we put her?.'"

George Ayala, executive officer of the San Francisco-based Global Forum on MSM and HIV, said that health care services should offer an environment that is "welcoming and safe."

"It is difficult to respond with even the best of interventions that we have available to us if individuals run the risk of violence, of ridicule, of other forms of humiliation on their way to accessing services," he said.

Hua Boonyapisomparn, a trans-gender activist from Thailand, said that trans-gender communities have been "invisible" in national and international health care programs.

"HIV guidelines are an important, historic step which is a hope for trans-gender community to ensure that their voice will be heard at all levels," she told reporters in Geneva.

What is Cholesterol?

You already know that some cholesterol is good and some is bad. But did you know that there are clear guidelines for cholesterol levels for average Americans and newly established guidelines for high-risk patients?

Cholesterol is:

Produced by the liver and other organs and also furnished in the diet through such food as meats, poultry, fish and dairy products.
Required by the body to insulate nerves, make cell membranes, and produce certain hormones.
Carried through the body by lipoproteins in the blood.

Two Types of Cholesterol

The Good	The Bad
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) transports cholesterol from the body's tissues to the liver and other sites, where it may be broken down and excreted by the body. HDL cholesterol is commonly known as "good" cholesterol.	LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) transports cholesterol from the liver to the rest of the body. LDL cholesterol is commonly known as "bad" cholesterol.

How to Control Your Cholesterol

Many Americans have succeeded in lowering their LDL "bad" cholesterol through lifestyle changes. Eating right, exercising, and relaxing are some of the basic lifestyle changes you can make to improve your overall health. Your doctor can test your cholesterol level, or you can test yourself with a kit you can purchase at your pharmacy.

The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) identifies LDL cholesterol as the primary target of cholesterol management. Clinical research has shown that elevated LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, is the primary cause of coronary heart disease.

New Guidelines for High Risk Heart Patients Can Save Lives
Every year 1.2 million Americans have a new or repeat heart attack. A new set of guidelines has been released that specifically targets these high risk Americans. The new NCEP guideline determines that high-risk heart patients should lower their LDL "bad" cholesterol to a rock bottom 70. The previous NCEP guideline was 100.

LDL Cholesterol Level Guideline (mg/dl)
<100 (70 for high risk patients)	Optimal
100-129	Near optimal/above optimal
130-159	Borderline high
160-189	High
>190	Very high
Total Cholesterol Level
<200	Desirable
200-239	Borderline High

What Are the Best Leg Vein Treatments?

2011-06-27T05:07:00.000-07:00

Treating spider veins and varicose veins is important for many individuals looking for leg vein treatments to relieve these conditions. Varicose veins may appear bulging from the skin and may be purplish or bluish in color. What's more, this venous condition may also lead to pain and heaviness in the legs. Spider veins may not bulge from the skin or cause pain, but they may be just as embarrassing due to their unsightly appearance. Depending on which condition is present, the treatment recommended by a vein specialist will likely vary.

When treating spider veins or smaller varicose veins, sclerotherapy may be recommended. This treatment involves the use of a chemical sclerant that is used to irritate the vessel lining, causing the vein to shrink, collapse and eventually disappear entirely. The sclerant is injected into the treatment area using a tiny needle. The needle is so small that patients usually do not require a topical anesthetic, although one may be provided in some cases. A foam formulation is available at many clinics in addition to the traditional liquid formulation. The foam formulation allows for greater contact with the vessel lining as it displaces blood in the vein more effectively, and is more easily viewed on ultrasound.

Endovenous laser ablation is another treatment option, but is often used to treat larger varicose veins. This procedure involves the insertion of a laser fiber into a problem vein. The fiber is then slowly heated using low energy to destroy the problem vein. A local anesthetic may be provided for this treatment to help ensure patient comfort. Before undergoing this or any other treatment, patients should consult a specialist to discuss possible side effects.

Ambulatory phlebectomy is another leg vein treatment that helps patients suffering from varicose veins. With this treatment, tiny incisions are made along the problem vein so that vein hooks may be used to remove it. The incisions made are small enough that sutures are not required and the incisions typically heal without scarring. A local anesthetic is often provided when receiving this treatment as well to help ensure patient comfort.

There are several other minimally-invasive treatment options available at many vein clinics, and patients are always encouraged to explore all of their options so they make an informed treatment decision. A vein specialist may recommend these or other treatments on a case-by-case basis to make sure that the patient receives the proper care.

Theory of Flight [VHS]

2011-06-26T12:04:00.000-07:00

Richard (Kenneth Branagh) is a frustrated artist plunging into a midlife crisis. He dumps his rather stuffy, professional girlfriend and tears apart his paintings to make a hang glider out of the canvases and stretchers. His maiden flight with the device lands him in court, where he is assigned community service. His first assignment is to serve as assistant to Jane (Helena Bonham Carter), a young woman with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). The disease is in its final stages, but she handles it with a bushel of attitude, her brain as sharp as ever. The two don't get off on the right foot, but eventually she reveals to him that she has yet to lose her virginity and would like for him to help arrange that to happen. He strikes on the distinctly harebrained idea of robbing a bank to pay for an oily gigolo, leading to some rather out-of-place comic scenes. Meanwhile, Richard has been cobbling together an airplane out of more paintings and garden-variety junk; the contraption makes the Wright Brothers' machine look like an F-15 fighter. Despite some missteps, The Theory of Flight is a funny, engaging character study; what could have been a maudlin, sentimental tearjerker is made very humane and believable by the performances of the two leads. Branagh's Richard is a craggy, troubled man who finds redemption in his friendship with Jane; the dynamic of their relationship (in contrast to the others' in Jane's life) causes one to think about the patronizing way we often deal with the disabled. --Jerry Renshaw

Prolong Life and Reduce Suffering in Patients With Serious Illness Using Palliative Care

2011-06-26T08:33:00.000-07:00

Palliative Care and Home Care

"Most people who get palliative care are still in their own homes," said Dr. Porter Storey, executive vice president of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

According to Dr. Storey, in Europe, Canada, and Australia, all care is synonymous, but in the United States, palliative care is also used when people are still pursuing a cure for their illness. Because of U.S. government rules, hospice is limited to those with six months or less to live.

A recent study that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine of 151 patients determined that of the 86% of surviving patients, "Patients assigned to early care had a better quality of life than did patients assigned to standard care." In addition, survival was longer in those who received early palliative care.

The New England Journal of Medicine study also stated that these care programs have the potential to reduce hospital expenditures-an important issue in a time of rising health care costs.

A Team Approach to Serious Illness

This kind of care is provided by a team of professionals-including doctors, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, chaplains and others-who have received board certification specifically for care. The team works in conjunction with the patient, in home caregivers and other loved ones, as well as with the patient's own doctor.

Once you've decided to end the aggressive treatments and therapies, it's time for palliative care, said Alex Morrison, Homewatch Caregiver's field sales and support manager in Denver, Colorado. Mr. Morrison's parents died within 36 hours of one another in March. "It substantially improved their quality of life before dying, which gave me piece of mind during a very difficult time" he said of his choice to get them care.

Although Mr. Morrison's parents did not enter palliative care until near the end of their lives, he said it was the best way to eliminate additional suffering caused by bad medication interactions. Experts do recommend palliative care for patients soon after their diagnosis with a serious illness for this reason, among others.

Meeting a Range of Needs

Often people seek-out palliative care to deal with the physical pain of their illness and its treatment. At both AAHPM and The Center to Advance Palliative Care, there are stories of actual patients who had palliative care and how it benefited them or what they hoped to get from it.

These stories are about people with illnesses such as lung disease (the study written about in the New England Journal of Medicine focused on patients with newly diagnosed metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer), cancer, dementia, liver failure, heart disease and many more.

And while some of these are survivor stories, Dr. Storey said that people can and should seek out palliative care when they are not certain of the possible outcomes. "There are more and more medical treatments for people who are really sick," he said. "Lots of people are in this limbo and not ready for hospice." This is where a special kind of care comes in and has been developed to address the questions patients and their families may have about treatments, home care resources, and more.

Palliative care is now available in at least 70% of U.S. hospitals (those with over 300 beds), and a directory on the Center to Advance Palliative Care website, provides a list and links to those facilities.

Not only does palliative care assist patients with serious and life-threatening illness, but also their caregivers. "Families really don't know what to do," said Dr. Storey. "And they are concerned about what to do next."

Dr. Storey said that both hospice and palliative should be used sooner by patients and their loved ones. "Hospice is still a wonderful, wonderful service that people don't elect to use early enough. And hospice has the widest array of services in the home," he said. "It's not like palliative is a substitute for hospice. It's a marvelous support for the caregivers and should be used sooner."
