OVERWEIGHT/ OBESITY

2017-01-28T02:58:00.000+01:00

Overweight is having more body fat than is optimally healthy. Being overweight is common especially where food supplies are plentiful and lifestyles are sedentary. Excess weight has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults being either overweight or obese in 2003.
The terms "overweight" and "obesity" refer to body weight that's greater than what is considered healthy for a certain height. The most useful measure of overweight and obesity is body mass index (BMI). BMI is calculated from your height and weight.

Millions of people worldwide are overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese puts you at risk for many health problems. The more body fat that you have and the more you weigh, the more likely you are to develop:

Coronary Heart Disease
High Blood Pressure
Type 2 diabetes
Gallstones
Breathing problems
Certain cancers

If you have abdominal obesity and most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips, you're at increased risk for Coronary Heart Disease and type 2 diabetes. The risk goes up with a waist size that's greater than 35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men.
Your weight is the result of many factors. These factors include environment, family history and genetics, metabolism (the way your body changes food and oxygen into energy), behavior or habits, and more.
You can't change some factors, such as family history. However, you can change other factors, such as your lifestyle habits.
For example, follow a healthy eating plan and keep your calorie needs in mind. Be physically active and try to limit the amount of time that you're inactive

Body Mass Index for Adults

Body mass index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults.

Use this table to learn your BMI. First, find your height(feet/inch) on the far left column. Next, move across the row to find your weight (KG). Weight is measured with underwear but no shoes.
Once you've found your weight, move to the very top of that column. This number is your BMI.

Height	21	22	23	24	25	26	27	28	29	30	31
4'10"	45	47	49	52	53	56	58	60	62	64	67
5'0"	48	50	53	55	58	60	62	64	67	69	71

6'3"	76	79	83	87	90	94	97	101	105	108	112

This table offers a sample of BMI measurements.

What Does Body Mass Index Mean?

BMI
18.5–24.9	Normal weight
25.0–29.9	Overweight
30.0–39.9	Obese
40.0 and above	Extreme obesity

Although BMI can be used for most men and women, it does have some limits. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. BMI also may underestimate body fat in older people and others who have lost muscle.

POISONING

2016-12-17T00:47:00.001+01:00

Poison is anything that kills or injures through its chemical actions. Most poisons are swallowed (ingested). The word poison comes from the Latin word - potare - meaning to drink. Poisoning is injury or death due to swallowing, inhaling, touching or injecting various drugs, chemicals, venoms or gases. Many substances — such as drugs and carbon monoxide — are poisonous only in higher concentrations or dosages. And others — such as cleaners — are dangerous only if ingested. But poisons can also enter the body in other ways:

By breathing
Through the skin
By IV injection
From exposure to radiation
Venom from a snake bite or insect bite

Poisoning Causes

Poisons include highly toxic chemicals not meant for human ingestion or contact, such as cyanide, paint thinners, or household cleaning products.
Many poisons, however, are substances meant for humans to eat, including foods and medicines.Foods;
Some mushrooms are poisonous
Drinking water contaminated by agricultural or industrial chemicals
Food that has not been properly prepared or handled
Drugs

Drugs that are helpful in therapeutic doses may be deadly when taken in excess.
Examples include:

Beta blockers: Beta blockers are a class of drugs used to treat heart conditions (for example, angina, abnormal heart rithym) and other conditions, (for example, high blood pressure, migraine headache prevention, social phobia, and certain types of tremors). In excess, they can cause difficulty breathing, coma, and heart failure.
Warfarin (Coumadin): coumadin is a blood thinner used to prevent blood clots. It is the active ingredient in many rat poisons and may cause heavy bleeding and death if too much is taken.
Vitamins: Vitamins, especially A and D, if taken in large amounts can cause liver problems and death.

Poisoning SymptomsSigns and symptoms of poisoning are so wide and variable that there is no easy way to classify them.
Some poisons enlarge the pupils, while others shrink them.
Some result in excessive drooling, while others dry the mouth and skin.
Some speed the heart, while others slow the heart.
Some increase the breathing rate, while others slow it.
Some cause pain, while others are painless.
Some cause hyperactivity, while others cause drowsiness. Confusion is often seen with these symptoms.Almost every possible sign or symptom of a poisoning can also be caused by a non-poison-related medical problem.

FIBROID

2016-12-15T03:11:00.000+01:00

FIBROID is a benign tumor of muscular and fibrous tissues, typically developing in the wall of the uterus.

Fibroids are the most frequently seen tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids, also known as uterine myomas, leiomyomas, or fibromas, are firm, compact tumors that are made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue that develop in the uterus. It is estimated that between 20 to 50 percent of women of reproductive age have fibroids, although not all are diagnosed. Some estimates state that up to 30 to 77 percent of women will develop fibroids sometime during their childbearing years, although only about one-third of these fibroids are large enough to be detected by a health care provider during a physical examination. OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE women have a significantly higher risk of developing fibroids, compared with women of normal weight.
In more than 99 percent of fibroid cases, the tumors are benign (non-cancerous). These tumors are not associated with cancer and do not increase a woman's risk for uterine cancer. They may range in size, from the size of a pea to the size of a softball or size of a bean to as large as a melon.

Types Of Fibroids

Intramural - located in the wall of the uterus, this is the most common type.
Subserosal fibroids - located outside the wall of the uterus but underneath the tissue layer that surrounds the uterus. They can develop into pedunculated fibroids (stalks) and become quite large.
Submucosal fibroids - located in the muscle beneath the lining of the uterus wall. This type can protrude into the cavity of the uterus.
Cervical fibroids - located in the neck of the womb (the cervix).

Causes Of Fibroids

Experts cannot come to a common consensus about why fibroids occur.
During a woman's reproductive years, estrogen and progesterone levels are high. When estrogen levels are high, especially during pregnancy, fibroids tend to swell. When estrogen levels are low, fibroids may shrink, for example, during a woman's menopause
Heredity may also be a factor; women whose close relatives have had fibroids have a higher risk of developing them.
There is also some evidence that red meats, alcohol, and caffeine could increase the risk of fibroids. Also, an increased intake of fruit and vegetables might reduce the risk.

Symptoms of uterine fibroids

Most women have no symptoms, but around 1 in 3 will experience symptoms, which may include:

Anemia (as a result of heavy periods)
Backache
Constipation
Discomfort in the lower abdomen (especially if fibroids are large)
Frequent urination
Heavy, painful periods
Pain in the legs
Painful sex
Swelling in the lower abdomen (especially if fibroids are large)

Other possible symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

Labor problems
Pregnancy problems
Fertility problems
Repeated miscarriages

Fibroid Diagnosis

MRI - this is the best type of imaging to determine the size of fibroids and if there are multiple fibroids in the uterus. However, MRI can be quite expensive.

Treatments for fibroids

If the woman has no symptoms and the fibroids are not affecting her day-to-day life, she may receive no treatment at all. Even women who have heavy periods but whose lives are not badly affected by this symptom may also opt for no treatment.
During menopause, fibroids usually shrink, and symptoms will often become less apparent, or disappear altogether.
When treatment is necessary, it may be in the form of medication or surgery.

FERTILITY

2016-11-17T00:51:00.000+01:00

Fertility is the natural capability to produce offspring. or the ability to conceive and bear children or the ability to become pregnant through normal sexual activity. As a measure, fertility rate is the number of offspring born per mating pair, individual or population.
Infertility refers to an inability to conceive after having regular unprotected sex. Infertility can also refer to the biological inability of an individual to contribute to conception, or to a female who cannot carry a pregnancy to full term.

Infertility is a growing problem in Nigeria. It occurs when a poor reproductive system, impairs the ability of the body to perform necessary functions of reproduction.Infertility affects nearly 25% of couples in Nigeria.Expert claim that 40-45% of all consultations in gynecological clinics are infertility-related.
Types of infertility

Primary infertility: where a woman who has never conceived a child in the past has difficulty conceiving and;
Secondary infertility: where a mother who has had one or more pregnancies in the past, is having difficulty conceiving again.
Causes of infertility
There are many causes of infertility, and fertility problems can affect either both men and women.
Causes of Male Infertility:
• Azoospermia (absence of sperm): Blockage between the testes and seminal vesicles, due to injury or scarring of infections like Gonorrhoeae and Tuberculosis (TB), and can also be congenital.
• Oligospermia (low sperm count): Due to infection of the genital tract (prostate gland), drugs like marijuana, antidepressants, antihypertensives as well as stress, hormones, obesity, smoking, alcoholism etc.
• Abnormal sperm: High percentage of abnormalities in shape and size, due to hormonal problems or infections.
•Autoimmunity: Antibodies are made which attack the sperm and reduce the living sperm count.
• Premature ejaculation.
• Impotence.
Causes of Female Infertility:
1. Failure to ovulate, which may either be hormonal origin or adverse effect of drugs, which might have effect on follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) surge.
2. Damage to the oviduct, cervix and uterus, due to infections like STIs, PID/IUD, adverse effects of drugs and probably as a result of abortion and miscarriage.
3. Antibody to sperm: This can be found in the cervix, uterus and oviducts.
Treatment
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT), Zygote Intra-Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT), Donor Insemination (DI) or Artificial Insemination by Donor (AID), Artificial Insemination by Husband or Partner (AIH), Egg Donation, Surrogacy and Sub-zonal Insemination (SUZI) or Micro-insemination Sperm Transfer (MIST) ,surgical operation.These problems could be solved through hormonal balance.Use of hormonal/fertility supplements is however recommended before all other options.

Prostate Cancer

2016-11-07T21:39:00.001+01:00

What is prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop in the prostate. These abnormal cells can continue to multiply in an uncontrolled way and sometimes spread outside the prostate into nearby or distant parts of the body.
Prostate cancer is generally a slow growing disease and the majority of men with low grade prostate cancer live for many years without symptoms and without it spreading and becoming life-threatening. However, high grade disease spreads quickly and can be lethal. Appropriate management is key.

WHAT IS THE PROSTATE?

Only men have a prostate. It is a small gland that sits below the bladder near the rectum. It surrounds the urethra, the passage in the penis through which urine and semen pass.
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. It produces most of the fluid that makes up semen that enriches sperm. The prostate needs the male hormone testosterone to grow and develop.
The prostate is often described as being the size of a walnut and it is normal for it to grow as men age. Sometimes this can cause problems, such as difficulty urinating. These problems are common in older men and not always symptoms or signs of cancer.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. In the later stages, some symptoms of prostate cancer might include:

Feeling the frequent or sudden need to urinate
Finding it difficult to urinate (for example, trouble starting or not being able to urinate when the feeling is there or poor urine flow)
Discomfort when urinating
Finding blood in urine or semen
Pain in the lower back, upper thighs or hips.

These symptoms may not mean you have prostate cancer, but if you experience any of them, go and see your doctor.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS?

Factors that are most strongly linked to an increased chance of developing prostate cancer:

Age: Prostate cancer is an age-dependent disease, which means the chance of developing it increases with age. The risk of getting prostate cancer by the age of 75 is 1 in 7 men. By the age of 85, this increases to 1 in 5.
Family history: If you have a first degree male relative with prostate cancer, you have a higher chance of developing it than men with no such history. The risk increases again if more than one male relative has prostate cancer. Risks are also higher for men whose male relatives were diagnosed when young.

Men over age 50, or 40 with a family history of prostate cancer, should talk to their doctor about testing for prostate cancer using the PSA test and DRE as part of their annual health check-up. Men should make an individual informed decision about testing based on the latest available evidence on the benefits and potential harms of testing and subsequent treatment for prostate cancer.
•••

OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING PROSTATE CANCER:

Factors that are most strongly linked to an increased chance of developing prostate cancer:

Genetics: Genes are found in every cell of the body. They control the way the cells in the body grow and behave. Every person has a set of many thousands of genes inherited from both parents. Changes to genes can increase the risk of prostate cancer being passed from parent to child. Although prostate cancer can’t be inherited, a man can inherit genes that can increase the risk.
Diet: There is some evidence to suggest that eating a lot of processed meat or food that is high in fat can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.
Lifestyle: There is evidence to show that environment and lifestyle can affect the risk of developing prostate cancer.

HOW IS PROSTATE CANCER DETECTED AND DIAGNOSED?

A doctor will usually do a blood test and/or physical examination to check the health of the prostate.

Blood test (Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test): The result shows whether there is an increase in this specific protein. Depending on the result, you might need further investigation by a specialist. A high PSA test result does not necessarily mean cancer. Prostate diseases other than cancer can also cause a higher than normal PSA level.
Digital Rectal Examination (DRE): Because of where the prostate is located, the doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to check the size of the prostate and assess if there are any abnormalities. A normal DRE result does not rule out prostate cancer.

Goitre

2016-08-30T23:10:00.000+02:00

A goitre (sometimes spelt "goiter") is a swelling of the thyroid gland that causes a lump to form in the front of the neck. The lump will move up and down when you swallow.
The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck, just in front of the windpipe (trachea). It produces thyroid hormones, which help regulate the body's metabolism, the chemical processes that occur in the body.
The size of a goitre can vary from person to person. In most cases, the swelling is small and doesn't cause any symptoms.

In more severe cases, the symptoms may include:

coughing
a tight feeling in your throat
changes to your voice, such as hoarsenes
difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
difficulty breathing – there may be a high-pitched sound when you breathe (stridor)

Diagnosing a goitre

If you think you have a goitre, see your GP. They'll examine your neck to see whether your thyroid gland is swollen, and may request a thyroid function test to see how well your thyroid gland is working.
A thyroid function test measures the level of certain hormones (chemicals produced by the body) in your blood.
It can show whether you have an underactive or overactive thyroid, both of which are associated with goitre.
If necessary, you may be referred to a specialist in hospital for further tests or treatment.
Read more about how a goitre is diagnosed.

Treating a goitre

The treatment for a goitre depends on the underlying cause. If the goitre is small and isn't causing any problems, a wait-and-see approach is usually recommended.
Other possible treatments include radioiodine treatment and thyroid surgery.
Although most goitres are usually non-cancerous (benign), it's estimated that in 1 in 20 cases they may be a sign of thyroid cancer.
.

Causes of a goitre

A goitre can have several possible causes, including:

an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)
an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
hormone changes during puberty, pregnancy or the menopause
not enough iodine (a trace mineral found in fish and plant foods) in your diet
taking some types of medication – such as lithium, a medication often used to treat a number of mental health conditions
an inflamed thyroid gland (thyroiditis)
having radiation treatment to your neck or chest area – such as radiotherapy for neck cancer
nodules or cysts within the thyroid – most are benign, but should be assessed
thyroid cancer – a rare type of cancer in the UK

Anyone can develop a goitre, but the chances increase with age. Women are also more likely to develop a goitre.

Types of goitre

There are two main types of goitre:

Diffuse goitre – where the entire thyroid gland swells and feels smooth to the touch
Nodular goitre – where solid or fluid-filled lumps called nodules develop within the thyroid and make the thyroid gland feel lumpy to touch; the nodules can be single or multiple and may contain fluid (cysts).
In cases caused by overactive thyroid/hyperthyroidism and underactive thyroid/hypothyroidism treatment is with medication.

EPILEPSY

2011-04-08T13:13:00.000+02:00

Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal abnormally. Neurons normally generate electrochemical impulses that act on other neurons, glands, and muscles to produce human thoughts, feelings, and actions. In epilepsy, the normal pattern of neuronal activity becomes disturbed, causing strange sensations, emotions, and behavior, or sometimes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. During a seizure, neurons may fire as many as 500 times a second, much faster than normal. In some people, this happens only occasionally; for others, it may happen up to hundreds of times
Causes
This is a tricky question with no clear-cut answer. Often doctors can't pinpoint exactly what causes epilepsy in a particular individual. But scientists do know that some things can make a person more likely to develop epilepsy, including:

a brain injury, such as from a car crash or bike accident
an infection or illness that affected the developing brain of a fetus during pregnancy
lack of oxygen to an infant's brain during childbirth
meningitis, encephalitis, or any other type of infection that affects the brain
brain tumors or strokes
poisoning, such as lead or alcohol poisoning

Epilepsy is not contagious (you can't catch it from someone who has it). It's not passed down through families (inherited) in the same way that blue eyes or brown hair are. But someone who has a close relative with epilepsy has a slightly higher risk for it than somebody with no family history of seizures.

ECZEMA

2011-04-08T12:14:00.001+02:00

Eczema is a general term for many types of skin inflammation (dermatitis). The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis (sometimes these two terms are used interchangeably). However, there are many different forms of eczema.
Eczema most commonly causes dry, reddened skin that itches or burns, although the appearance of eczema varies from person to person and varies according to the specific type of eczema. Intense itching is generally the first symptom in most people with eczema. Sometimes, eczema may lead to blisters and oozing lesions, but eczema can also result in dry and scaly skin. Repeated scratching may lead to thickened, crusty skin.
While any region of the body may be affected by eczema, in children and adults, eczema typically occurs on the face, neck, and the insides of the elbows, knees, and ankles. In infants, eczema typically occurs on the forehead, cheeks, forearms, legs, scalp, and neck.
Eczema is not contagious, but since it is believed to be at least partially inherited, it is not uncommon to find members of the same family affected.
Studies have shown that in people with atopic dermatitis there are gene defects that lead to abnormalities in certain proteins (such as filaggrin) that are important in maintaining the barrier of normal skin. Some forms of eczema can be triggered by substances that come in contact with the skin, such as soaps, cosmetics, clothing, detergents, jewelry, or sweat. Environmental allergens (substances that cause allergic reactions) may also cause outbreaks of eczema. Changes in temperature or humidity, or even psychological stress, can lead to outbreaks of eczema in some people.
Eczema can sometimes occur as a brief reaction that only leads to symptoms for a few hours or days, but in other cases, the symptoms persist over a longer time and are referred to as chronic dermatitis.

DRY SKIN

2011-04-08T11:37:00.002+02:00

Dry skin, also called xerosis, is a common problem. Your skin needs moisture to stay smooth and supple, and retaining moisture becomes difficult as we age. Our skin also looses mositure more readily in the winter. Central heating of home and other buildings is very drying to the skin.
Simple daily routines, such as bathing and towel drying, may actually remove moisture from the skin. Modifying your bathing routine will help preserve your skin's moisture. Bathing provides the skin will moisturize temporarily, but it removes the skin's oily lipid layer and in the long run causes more moisture loss than gain.
The wrong moisturizing lotion can have the same effect. Generally, water-based lotions are best cosmetically but oil-based creams are more effective in trapping moisture.

Dermatitis is the medical term for extremely dry skin. There are several different types of dermatitis, including:

irritant contact
allergic contact
seborrheic
atopic

Contact dermatitis develops when your skin reacts to something it touches, causing localized inflammation. Irritant contact dermatitis can occur when your skin is exposed to an irritating chemical agent, such as bleach. Allergic contact dermatitis can develop when your skin is exposed to a substance you’re allergic to, such as nickel.
Seborrheic dermatitis occurs when your skin produces too much oil. It results in a red and scaly rash, usually on your scalp. This type of dermatitis is common in infants.
Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It’s a chronic skin condition that causes dry scaly patches to appear on your skin. It’s common among young children.
Other conditions, such as psoriasis and type 2 diabetes, can also cause your skin to dry outDry skin causes can be classified as external and internal. External factors are the most common underlying cause and are the easiest to address. External factors include cold temperatures and low humidity, especially during the winter when central heaters are used. Internal factors include overall health, age, genetics, family history, and a personal history of other medical conditions like asthma, allergies, and atopic dermatitis. In particular those with thyroid disease are more prone to developing dry skin. External factors that cause dry skin include

over-washing with harsh soaps,
overuse of sanitizers and cleaning agents,
cold temperature,
low humidity.

DIABETES

2011-04-05T13:29:00.000+02:00

Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar in the blood - it is the principal source of fuel for our bodies.

When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.

Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, and lowers the blood sugar level.

A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia). This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.

There are three main types of diabetes:

Diabetes Type 1 - You produce no insulin at all.
Diabetes Type 2 - You don't produce enough insulin, or your insulin is not working properly.
Gestational Diabetes - You develop diabetes just during your pregnancy.
(World Health Organization)
Diabetes Types 1 & 2 are chronic medical conditions - this means that they are persistent and perpetual. Gestational Diabetes usually resolves itself after the birth of the child.
Here is a list of the most common diabetes symptoms:

Frequent urination
Disproportionate thirst
Intense hunger
As the insulin in your blood is not working properly, or is not there at all, and your cells are not getting their energy, your body may react by trying to find more energy - food. You will become hungry.
Weight gain
This might be the result of the above symptom (intense hunger)
Unusual weight loss
This is more common among people with Diabetes Type 1. As your body is not making insulin it will seek out another energy source (the cells aren't getting glucose). Muscle tissue and fat will be broken down for energy. As Type 1 is of a more sudden onset and Type 2 is much more gradual, weight loss is more noticeable with Type 1.
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Irritability can be due to your lack of energy.
Blurred vision
Cuts and bruises don't heal properly or quickly

INDIGESTION

2011-04-05T12:41:00.001+02:00

Indigestion, which is sometimes called dyspepsia, is a general term covering a group of nonspecific symptoms in the digestive tract. It is often described as a feeling of fullness, bloating, nausea, heartburn, or gassy discomfort in the chest or abdomen. The symptoms develop during meals or shortly afterward. In most cases, indigestion is a minor problem that often clears up without professional treatment.

Causes and symptoms

Physical causes

The symptoms associated with indigestion have a variety of possible physical causes, ranging from commonplace food items to serious systemic disorders:

Diet. Milk, milk products, alcoholic beverages, tea, and coffee cause indigestion in some people because they stimulate the stomach's production of acid.
Medications. Certain prescription drugs as well as over-the-counter medications can irritate the stomach lining. These medications include aspirin, NSAIDs, some antibiotics, digoxin, theophylline, corticosteroids, iron (ferrous sulfate), oral contraceptives, and tricyclic antidepressants.
Disorders of the pancreas and gallbladder. These include inflammation of the gallbladder or pancreas, cancer of the pancreas, and gallstones.
Intestinal parasites. Parasitic infections that cause indigestion include amebiasis, fluke and tapeworm infections, giardiasis, and strongyloidiasis.
Systemic disorders, including diabetes, thyroid disease, collagen vascular disease.
Cancers of the digestive tract.
Conditions associated with women's reproductive organs. These conditions include menstrual cramps, pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Psychologic and emotional causes

Indigestion often accompanies an emotional upset, because the part of the nervous system involved in the so-called "fight-or-flight" response also affects the digestive tract. People diagnosed with anxiety or somatoform disorders frequently have problems with indigestion. Many people in the general population, however, will also experience heartburn, "butterflies in the stomach," or stomach cramps when they are in upsetting situations-such as school examinations, arguments with family members, crises in their workplace, and so on. Some people's digestive systems appear to react more intensely to emotional stress due to hypersensitive nerve endings in their intestinal tract.

Aloe Herbal Tea ..Drink 2 to 3 times daily after meal.

Fields of Green .. 1 tab 3 times daily after meal.

Bee Pollen ..1 tab 3 times daily after meal.

DANDRUF

2011-03-31T10:37:00.000+02:00

Dandruf is an enemy of the hair. It weakens the roots. Consequently, hair start falling off. This is a kind of contagious disease. Dandruf sticks on the skin of the scalp in a cake form and block free flow of air to the hair roots. As a result, hair become weak at the roots and loosen their hold. Using the comb, soap or brush of a man suffering from dandruf is dangerous as it is contagious.

Dandruf is caused by micro-organism called pityrosporum-ovle which are present in every body's scalp. Symptoms of dandruf get aggravated when exposed to dust, UV light, harsh chemical based shampoo, hair dyes etc., this results in increase in number of microbes which causes unhealthy residue over the scalp which leads to dandruff, which is the cause of unhealthy, lifeless hair and may result in excessive loss of hair too. Followings are also responsible for dandruf:-

1. Heredity
2. Lack of proper Diet
3. Environment
4. Dry or Greasy Scalp is etc.
5. Stress, anxiety and tension.
6. Infrequent shampooing of the hair or inadequate rinsing.
7. Improper use of hair-coloring products or excessive use of electric hair curlers.

Symptoms of Dandruff

Some sign and symptoms related to Dandruff are as follows:

Skin affected by seborrhoeic dermatitis is usually red and greasy with a white or yellowish flaky scale.
Cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp).
There is sometimes itching or soreness and the scalp can feel tight.
Scalp ringworm (tinea capitis): This highly contagious fungal infection occurs primarily in children younger than age 10.
Psoriasis. This skin disorder causes an accumulation of dead skin cells that form thick silvery scales.
A yellow or red scaly rash along the hairline, behind the ears, in the ear canal, on the eyebrows, around the nose, and/or on the chest
Your scalp can be either excessively dry or oily.

CELLULITIS

2011-03-31T10:10:00.000+02:00

Cellulitis is a spreading bacterial infection just below the skin surface. It is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus.

Causes and symptoms

Although other kinds of bacteria can cause cellulitis, it is most often caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (the bacteria which causes strep throat) and Staphylococcus aureus. Streptococcus pyogenes is the so-called "flesh-eating bacteria" and, in rare cases, can cause a dangerous, deep skin infection called necrotizing fasciitis. Orbital cellulitis may be caused by bacteria which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen (anaerobic bacteria). In children, Haemophilus influenzae type B frequently causes orbital cellulitis following a sinus infection.

Streptococcus pyogenes can be picked up from a person who has strep throat or an infected sore. Other cellulitis-causing bacteria can be acquired from direct contact with infected sores. Persons who are at a higher risk for cellulitis are those who have a severe underlying disease (such as cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease), are taking steroid medications, have a reduced immune system (because of AIDS, organ transplant, etc.), have been burned, have insect bites, have reduced blood circulation to limbs, or have had a leg vein removed for coronary bypass surgery. In addition, chicken pox, human or animal bite wounds, skin wounds, and recent surgery can put a person at a higher risk for cellulitis.

The characteristic symptoms of cellulitis are redness, warmth, pain, and swelling. The infected area appears as a red patch that gets larger rapidly within the first 24 hours. A thick red line which progresses towards the heart may appear indicating an infection of the lymph vessels (lymphangitis). Other symptoms which may occur include fever, chills, tiredness, muscle aches, and a general ill feeling. Some people also experience nausea, vomiting, stiff joints, and hair loss at the infection site.

The characteristic symptoms of orbital cellulitis are eye pain, redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness. The eye may bulge out and it may be difficult or impossible to move. Temporary loss of vision, pus drainage from the eye, chills, fever, headaches, vomiting, and a general ill feeling may occur.

CONSTIPATION

2011-03-31T09:46:00.000+02:00

Constipation is an acute or chronic condition in which bowel movements occur less often than usual or consist of hard, dry stools that are painful or difficult to pass. Bowel habits vary, but an adult who has not had a bowel movement in three days or a child who has not had a bowel movement in four days is considered constipated.

Causes and symptoms

Constipation usually results from not getting enough exercise, not drinking enough water, or from a diet that does not include an adequate amount of fiber-rich foods like beans, bran cereals, fruits, raw vegetables, rice, and whole-grain breads.

Other causes of constipation include anal fissure (a tear or crack in the lining of the anus); chronic kidney failure; colon or rectal cancer; depression; hypercalcemia (abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood); hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland); illness requiring complete bed rest; irritable bowel syndrome; and stress.

Constipation can also be a side effect of:

aluminum salts in antacids
antihistamines
antipsychotic drugs
aspirin
belladonna (Atopa belladonna, source of atropine, a medication used to relieve spasms and dilate the pupils of the eye)
beta blockers (medications used to stabilize irregular heartbeat, lower high blood pressure, reduce chest pain)
blood pressure medications
calcium channel blockers (medication prescribed to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, some types of irregular heartbeat and stroke, and some non-cardiac diseases)
diuretics (drugs that promote the formation and secretion of urine)
iron or calcium supplements
narcotics (potentially addictive drugs that relieve pain and cause mood changes)
tricyclic antidepressants (medications prescribed to treat chronic pain, depression, headaches, and other illnesses)

An adult who is constipated may feel bloated, have a headache, swollen abdomen, or pass rock-like feces; or strain, bleed, or feel pain during bowel movements. A constipated baby may strain, cry, draw the legs toward the abdomen, or arch the back when having a bowel movement.

Treatment Dosage

Water ...8 to 10 glasses a day.

Aloe Vera Gel ...60mls 4 times daily before meal.

Forever Lite ...Use to replace one meal.

Fruits and Vegetables ...Eat large amount daily.

CYSTITIS

2011-03-30T17:59:00.000+02:00

Cystitis is a term that refers to urinary bladder inflammation that results from any one of a number of distinct syndromes . It is most commonly caused by a bacterial infection in which case it is referred to as a urinary tract infection.
Symptoms of cystitis include:

a stinging or burning sensation when you pass urine
the need to pass urine more often
feeling you want to urinate urgently, even if you pass very little or no urine
cloudy or dark coloured urine
blood in your urine
pain or tenderness in your lower back or lower abdomen (tummy)
feeling generally unwell

Cystitis can be painful, particularly when you pass urine, but it usually clears up within four to nine days.
These symptoms can also be due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as chlamydia. If you think you may have an STI, visit your GP or a sexual health clinic.
Cystitis is often caused by bacteria that get into your urethra from surrounding skin and travel up towards your bladder, causing infection and irritation. Most infections are caused by bacteria that normally live harmlessly in your bowel, usually a type of bacteria called Escherichia coli (or E. coli for short).
Women get cystitis more than men partly because, in women, the urethra is nearer the opening of the back passage (anus) where bacteria from your bowel can collect. This makes it easier for bacteria to get transferred from the surrounding skin into the urethra. The urethra is also much shorter in women than men, so there is less distance for the infection to travel to the bladder.
You're more likely to get cystitis if you:

are sexually active - the risk increases the more often you have sex
use spermicide-coated condoms or a diaphragm with spermicide
have been through the menopause - causing changes to the lining of your vagina and urethra, making you more likely to have bacteria in your urine
have a urinary catheter - introducing bacteria directly into your bladder
have diabetes - your urine may contain more sugar, encouraging bacteria to grow
have a condition that prevents you from emptying your bladder such as bladder or kidney stones, an enlarged prostate or if you're pregnant
use irritants such as certain soaps, which may irritate your urethra or bladder

COLD, INFLUENZA,CATARRH.

2011-03-24T17:41:00.000+01:00

A cold is a contagious viral disease that infects the soft lining (mucous membrane) of the nose.
There are more than 100 different viruses that can result in a cold. The characteristic symptom is a runny nose.
Usually, it's a mild condition, with recovery taking place within about a week.
It's most common during the cold winter months and affects children and adults of all ages. Most people will catch a cold two to four times a year.
Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals. The most common symptoms of the disease are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness/fatigue and general discomfort. Although it is often confused with other influenza-like illnesses, especially the common cold, influenza is a more severe disease than the common cold and is caused by a different type of virus. Influenza may produce nausea and vomiting, particularly in children, but these symptoms are more common in the unrelated gastroenteritis, which is sometimes called "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu".
Typically, influenza is transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes, creating aerosols containing the virus. Influenza can also be transmitted by direct contact with bird droppings or nasal secretions, or through contact with contaminated surfaces. Airborne aerosols have been thought to cause most infections, although which means of transmission is most important is not absolutely clear. Influenza viruses can be inactivated by sunlight, disinfectants and detergents. As the virus can be inactivated by soap, frequent hand washing reduces the risk of infection.
Catarrh is a disorder of inflammation of the mucous membranes.It can result in a thick exudate of mucus and white blood cells caused by the swelling of the mucous membranes in the head in response to an infection. It is a symptom usually associated with the common cold and chesty coughs, but can also be found in patients with infections of the adenoids, middle ear, sinus or tonsils. The phlegm produced by catarrh may either discharge or cause a blockage which may become chronic

CIRRHOSIS

2011-03-24T16:38:00.001+01:00

Cirrhosis is a chronic (ongoing, long-term) disease of the liver. It means damage to the normal liver tissue that keeps this important organ from working as it should. If the damage is not stopped, the liver gradually loses its ability to carry out its normal functions. This is called liver failure, sometimes referred to as end-stage liver disease.
Cirrhosis can be caused by a number of conditions, including long-standing inflammation, poisons, infections, and heart disease, as well as chronic alcoholism and chronic hepatitis, the most common causes.
The most common symptoms of cirrhosis are as follows:

Tiredness (fatigue) or even exhaustion
Weakness
Nausea
Loss of appetite leading to weight loss
Loss of sex drive

CHRONIC FATIGUE/GENERAL WEEKNESS

2011-03-24T15:50:00.002+01:00

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by extreme fatigue or tiredness that doesn't go away with rest, and can't be explained by an underlying medical condition. CFS can also be referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID).Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) causes long-term tiredness (fatigue) that affects everyday life. It does not go away with sleep or rest.
Most cases are mild or moderate, but up to one in four people with CFS have severe or very severe symptoms. These are defined as follows:

Mild: you are able to care for yourself, but may need days off work to rest.
Moderate: you may have reduced mobility, and your symptoms can vary. You may also have disturbed sleep patterns, and sleep in the afternoon.
Severe: you are able to carry out minimal daily tasks, such as brushing your teeth, but occasionally you may need to use a wheelchair. You may also have difficulty concentrating.
Very severe: you are unable to carry out any daily tasks for yourself and need bed rest for most of the day. Often, in severe cases, you may experience an intolerance to noise and become very sensitive to bright lights.
There are other common symptoms as well as fatigue, although most people do not have all of them. They include:
muscular pain, joint pain and severe headaches
poor short-term memory and concentration
difficulty organising your thoughts and finding the right words
painful lymph nodes (small glands of the immune system)
stomach pain and other problems similar to irritable bowel syndrome, such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea and nausea
sore throat
sleeping problems, such as insomnia and disturbed sleep
sensitivity or intolerance to light, loud noise, alcohol and certain foods
psychological difficulties, such as depression, irritability and panic attacks
less common symptoms, such as dizziness, excess sweating, balance problems and difficulty controlling body temperature

CONVULSION

2011-03-24T15:20:00.000+01:00

convulsion, sudden, violent, involuntary contraction of the muscles of the body, often accompanied by loss of consciousness. It is not known what causes the abnormal impulses from the brain that result in convulsive seizures, since the disturbance may arise in normal brain tissue as well as in diseased or injured tissue. Convulsions may occur in such conditions as epilepsy, poisoning, high fever (especially in young children), disturbances of calcium or phosphorus metabolism, alkalosis, diabetes, oxygen insufficiency, and a low blood-sugar content, as well as in local irritation or injury of the brain. Persons undergoing convulsions should be guarded against self-injury .

COLITIS

2011-03-24T14:25:00.000+01:00

Colitis is inflammation of the inner lining of the colon and is associated with diarrhea, pain, and blood in the stool. There are numerous reasons for the colon to become inflamed including:

infection,
loss of blood supply to the colon,
inflammatory bowel disease, and
invasion of the colon wall with collagen or lymphocytic white blood cells.

Causes
All types of colitis are associated with inflammation of the colon, though some types may be more severe and potentially dangerous than others. When a patient complains of pain and diarrhea with or without bloody stool, it is important to diagnose the type of colitis since treatments are different for the different types of colitis.
Inflammation of the colon can be caused by a variety of illnesses and infections. Some of the most common causes are discussed below.
Infectious Colitis
Viruses and bacteria can cause colon infections. Most are food-borne illnesses or "food poisoning." Common bacterial causes include Shigella, E Coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter. These infections may cause bloody diarrhea and can result in significant dehydration.
Parasites such as giardia can cause significant diarrhea. The parasite can enter the body when infected water is swallowed. The source may be from recreational water such as rivers, lakes, and swimming pools. It may also be contaminated from a water well or cistern.
Pseudomembranous colitis is caused by the bacteria Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). This disorder is often seen in patients who have recently been taking antibiotics for an infection. The antibiotic alters the normal bacteria present in the colon and allows an overgrowth of the Clostridium bacteria. Clostridium bacteria produce a toxin that causes diarrhea. This is an infection, and often there is a fever present. The diarrhea is usually not bloody.
Ischemic Colitis
The arteries that supply blood to the colon are like any other artery in the body. They have the potential to become narrow due to atherosclerosis (just like blood vessels in the heart, which can cause angina, or narrowed vessels in the brain can cause a stroke). When these arteries become narrow, the colon may loose its blood supply and become inflamed.
The colon can also lose its blood supply for mechanical reasons. A couple of examples include volvulus, where the bowel twists on itself, or an incarcerated hernia, where a portion of the colon gets trapped in an outpouching of the abdominal wall, which prevents blood from flowing to the affected portion.
In individuals who are at risk for decreased blood flow to the colon, ischemic colitis can occur if the blood pressure falls. This may occur with dehydration, anemia, or shock.
Ischemia or lack of blood supply causes significant pain, fever, and bloody bowel movements.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
There are two types of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease.
Ulcerative colitis is thought to be an autoimmune illness in which the body's immune system attacks the colon and causes inflammation. Ulcerative colitis begins in the rectum and may gradually spread throughout the colon. The signs and symptoms include abdominal pain and bloody bowel movements.
Crohn's disease may involve any part of the digestive tract from the esophagus and stomach, through to the small and large intestine all the way to the rectum. It often has skip lesions, that is diseased areas are interspersed with healthy areas of tissue.
Microscopic Colitis
Two diseases make up this group of colon inflammation, collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis. In these diseases, the inflammation is caused when the colon wall becomes engorged with either collagen or lymphocytes. Watery, non-bloody diarrhea is the most common symptom.
This is an uncommon illness that is seen more frequently in older women. The cause is unknown but an autoimmune potential may exist.
Chemical Colitis
If chemicals are instilled into the colon, inflammation and damage can occur. One of the complications of an enema is inflammation of the mucosal lining of the colon caused by harsh chemicals.

MUSCULAR CRAMPS

2011-03-24T13:21:00.000+01:00

         A muscle cramp is an involuntarily and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. When we use the muscles that can be controlled voluntarily, such as those of our arms and legs, they alternately contract and relax as we move our limbs. Muscles that support our head, neck, and trunk contract similarly in a synchronized fashion to maintain our posture. A muscle (or even a few fibers of a muscle) that involuntarily (without consciously willing it) contracts is in a "spasm." If the spasm is forceful and sustained, it becomes a cramp. Muscle cramps cause a visible or palpable hardening of the involved muscle.
Muscle cramps can last anywhere from a few seconds to a quarter of an hour or occasionally longer. It is not uncommon for a cramp to recur multiple times until it finally goes away. The cramp may involve a part of a muscle, the entire muscle, or several muscles that usually act together, such as those that flex adjacent fingers. Some cramps involve the simultaneous contraction of muscles that ordinarily move body parts in opposite directions.
Cramps are extremely common. Almost everyone (one estimate is about 95%) experiences a cramp at some time in their life. Cramps are common in adults and become increasingly frequent with aging. However, children also experience cramps.
Any of the muscles that are under our voluntary control (skeletal muscles) can cramp. Cramps of the extremities, especially the legs and feet, and most particularly the calf (the classic "charley horse"), are very common. Involuntary muscles of the various organs (uterus, blood vessel wall, intestinal tract, bile and urine passages, bronchial tree, etc.) are also subject to cramps. This article focuses on cramps of skeletal muscle.

CONJUNCTIVITIS( PINK EYE OR APOLLO EYE)

2011-03-23T14:11:00.002+01:00

Inflammation of the conjunctiva, characterized by redness, itching, and often accompanied by a discharge.
Conjunctivitis, also known as pinkeye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, clear tissue that lies over the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelid.

Pinkeye has a number of different causes, including:

Viruses
Bacteria (such as gonorrhea or chlamydia)
Irritants such as shampoos, dirt, smoke, and pool chlorine
Allergies, like dust, pollen, or a special type of allergy that affects some contact lens wearers

Pinkeye caused by some bacteria and viruses can spread easily from person to person, but are not a serious health risk if diagnosed promptly. Pinkeye in newborn babies, however, should be reported to a doctor immediately.

Symptoms

The symptoms of pinkeye differ based on the cause of the inflammation, but may include:

Redness in the white of the eye or inner eyelid.
Increased amount of tears.
Thick yellow discharge that crusts over the eyelashes, especially after sleep.
Green or white discharge from the eye.
Itchy eyes.
Burning eyes.
Blurred vision.
Increased sensitivity to light.

CHOLERA

2011-03-23T13:03:00.000+01:00

   Cholera is an infection of the small intestine that is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The main symptoms are profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting. Transmission is primarily through consuming contaminated drinking water or food. The severity of the diarrhea and vomiting can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
Primary treatment is with oral rehydration solution and if these are not tolerated, intravenous fluids.Worldwide it affects 3-5 million people and causes 100,000-130,000 deaths a year as of 2010.
The primary symptoms of cholera are profuse painless diarrhea and vomiting of clear fluid.These symptoms usually start suddenly, one to five days after ingestion of the bacteria.
If the severe diarrhea and vomiting are not aggressively treated it can, within hours, result in life-threatening dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.The typical symptoms of dehydration include low blood pressure, poor skin turgor (wrinkled hands), sunken eyes, and a rapid pulse.
Cause
Cholera is caused by eating contaminated food. Transmission is primarily due to the fecal contamination of food and water due to poor sanitation. This bacterium can, however, live naturally in any environment.

CHICKEN POX

2011-03-23T12:27:00.000+01:00

Chickenpox is a mild but highly infectious condition caused by a virus called the varicella-zoster virus (varicella is the medical name for chickenpox). It causes an itchy rash that blisters and then crusts over.
Chickenpox is most common in children under 10 years of age, although it can develop at any age.
Chickenpox occurs in approximately three in every 1,000 pregnancies and can cause serious complications for both the pregnant women and her baby.
Chickenpox can be a more serious infection in:

pregnant women
newborn babies
people with a weakened immune system

These people should seek medical advice as soon as they are exposed to the chickenpox virus.
Chickenpox is most infectious from one to two days before the rash starts until all the blisters have crusted over (which is usually five to six days after the start of the rash). Children should stay home from school and adults should stay off work until the condition is no longer infectious.

CATARACTS

2011-03-23T11:53:00.000+01:00

        A cataract is a cloudiness or opacity in the normally transparent crystalline lens of the eye. This cloudiness can cause a decrease in vision and may lead to eventual blindness.
Cataracts are changes in clarity of the natural lens inside the eye that gradually degrade visual quality. The natural lens sits behind the colored part of the eye (iris) in the area of the pupil, and cannot be directly seen with the naked eye unless it becomes extremely cloudy. The lens plays a crucial role in focusing unimpeded light on the retina at the back of the eye. The retina transforms light to a neurologic signal that the brain interprets as vision. Significant cataracts block and distort light passing through the lens, causing visual symptoms and complaints
Cataract development is usually a very gradual process of normal aging but can occasionally occur rapidly.
Cataract Causes
The lens is made mostly of water and protein. Specific proteins within the lens are responsible for maintaining its clarity. Over many years, the structures of these lens proteins are altered, ultimately leading to a gradual clouding of the lens. Rarely, cataracts can present at birth or in early childhood as a result of hereditary enzyme defects, and severe trauma to the eye, eye surgery, or intraocular inflammation can also cause cataracts to occur earlier in life. Other factors that may lead to development of cataracts at an earlier age include excessive ultraviolet-light exposure, diabetes, smoking, or the use of certain medications, such as oral, topical, or inhaled steroids.
  Antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene help the body clean-up oxygen-free radicals. Some vitamins are marketed specifically for the eyes. Patients should speak to their doctors about the use of such vitamins.
