Runny Nose

admin4blog — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:13:06 +0000

“Stuffy nose” is a term often used to refer to obstruction to the flow of air in and out of the nose, while “runny nose” refers to a discharge (fluid) coming from the nasal passages. Both of these conditions are associated with inflammation and swelling (congestion) of the inner lining of the nasal passages and sinuses. A viral infection (the common cold) is the most common cause of a stuffy and/or runny nose, but allergies, influenza, and sinus infections also may cause these symptoms.

Less commonly, anatomical obstructions (e.g. a deviated nasal septum, foreign bodies) may lead to nasal congestion. Other causes of a stuffy or runny nose include environmental factors, hormonal changes, and some medications. Rarely, tumors of the nasal passages or chronic medical conditions may be the cause of a stuffy or runny nose.

Hair Loss

admin4blog — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:05:46 +0000

Hair Loss like any disease comes about as a malfunction of one or more of your bodies systems. Much if not most of the time this is a result of a slow degenerative process due to the lack of adequate bodily supplies of the elements necessary for normal function and rejuvenation of affected organs. Commercial Farming and natural erosion has depleted global farmlands of most essential elements therefore it is not wise to assume that your diet contains enough of these elements for normal body function and maintenance.

Normal Hair Growth
About 90 percent of the hair on a person’s scalp is growing at any one time. The growth phase lasts between two and six years. Ten percent of the hair is in a resting phase that lasts two to three months. At the end of its resting stage, the hair is shed. When a hair is shed, a new hair from the same follicle replaces it and the growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair grows about one-half inch a month. As people age, their rate of hair growth slows. Natural blondes typically have more hair (140,000 hairs) than brunettes (105,000 hairs) or redheads (90,000 hairs). Most hair shedding is due to the normal hair cycle, and losing 50-to-100 hairs per day is no cause for alarm. However, if you are concerned about excessive hair loss or dramatic thinning, consult your dermatologist.

AIDS

admin4blog — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:03:03 +0000

AIDS is a viral infection and as such has no known cure. There are currently no medications available to effectively treat this disease. Your only line of defense is a healthy immune system. But not to be dismayed, a healthy immune system is perfectly capable of keeping the HIV and other viruses in check, if not completely eliminate them.

Is there any treatment?
There is no cure for AIDS but recently developed, experimental treatments appear very promising. Some symptoms and complications may improve with treatment. For example, antidementia drugs may relieve confusion and slow mental decline. Infections may be treated with antibiotics. Radiation therapy may be needed to treat AIDS-related cancers present in the brain or spinal cord. Drug “cocktails” recommended to treat AIDS can cause neuropathy. Neurological complications of AIDS are often underrecognized by AIDS clinicians, so patients who suspect they are having neurological complications should be sure to discuss these with their doctor.

Heart Attack

admin4blog — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:16:05 +0000

What is a heart attack?
A heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction) is the death of heart muscle from the sudden blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. Blockage of a coronary artery deprives the heart muscle of blood and oxygen, causing injury to the heart muscle. Injury to the heart muscle causes chest pain and chest pressure sensation. If blood flow is not restored to the heart muscle within 20 to 40 minutes, irreversible death of the heart muscle will begin to occur. Muscle continues to die for six to eight hours at which time the heart attack usually is “complete.” The dead heart muscle is eventually replaced by scar tissue.

Approximately one million Americans suffer a heart attack each year. Four hundred thousand of them die as a result of their heart attack.

What are the symptoms of a heart attack?
Although chest pain or pressure is the most common symptom of a heart attack, heart attack victims may experience a variety of symptoms including:
-Pain, fullness, and/or squeezing sensation of the chestJaw pain, toothache, headache
-Shortness of breath
-Nausea, vomiting, and/or general epigastric (upper middle abdomen) discomfort
-Sweating
-Heartburn and/or indigestion
-Arm pain (more commonly the left arm, but may be either arm)
-Upper back pain
-General malaise (vague feeling of illness)
-No symptoms (Approximately one quarter of all heart attacks are silent, without chest pain or new symptoms. Silent heart attacks are especially common among patients with diabetes mellitus.)

Blood Donation Facts

admin4blog — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:08:38 +0000

History of Blood
A Roman doctor name Galen believed that blood was formed in the liver and was unaware that the heart pumped blood through the arteries and veins. It wasn’t until the 1600’s that it was discovered blood circulates throughout the body, pumped by the heart.
Conditions for Donation of Blood
( 1) General -No person shall donate blood and no blood bank shall draw blood from a person, more than once in three months. The donor shall be in good health, mentally alert and physically fit and shall not be inmates of jail, persons having multiple sex partners and drug-addicts. The donors shall fulfill the following requirements, namely :-
(a) the donor shall be in the age group of 18 to 60 years.

Blood donation

admin4blog — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:02:18 +0000

A blood donation occurs when a healthy person voluntarily has blood drawn. The blood is used for transfusions or made into medications by a process called fractionation. Types of donation
Blood donations are divided into groups based on who will receive the collected blood.[3] An allogeneic (also called homologous) donation is when a donor gives blood for storage at a blood bank for transfusion to an unknown recipient. A directed donation is when a person, often a family member, donates blood for transfusion to a specific individual.[4] Directed donations are relatively rare.[5] A replacement donor donation is a hybrid of the two and is common in developing countries such as Ghana.[6] In this case, a friend or family member of the recipient donates blood to replace the stored blood used in a transfusion, ensuring a consistent supply. When a person has blood stored that will be transfused back to the donor at a later date, usually after surgery, that is called an autologous donation.[7] Blood that is used to make medications can be made from allogeneic donations or from donations exclusively used for manufacturing
