Intestinal Disorder Syndrome

April 25th, 2010

Intestinal disorder syndrome (IBS) is a problem involving the large intestine. It can interfere with normal function of the colon (large intestine). IBS is not dangerous but it can affect your life style and quality. You may feel uncomfortable and stressed. Some patients with IBS are not able to work, attend social events, or to travel even go near the place.

IBS is a major problem in Western countries. In fact, IBS is one of the most common problems diagnosed by a specialist gastroenterology. The problem of the spread in the Asia Pacific region and cause more people suffer from it. In general, women and young people at risk of IBS have doubled compared to men. Young women tend to have IBS during menstruation and when they are in a state of depression. kn_06_1

Cause of IBS
The main cause of IBS is still unknown. General, IBS patients often have a colon that is sensitive to certain foods. Imbalance of bowel movements bowel movements are too fast may cause diarrhea and bowel movement is too slow may cause constipation. Other causes of IBS are disorders of the nervous system stimulation in the brain to the stomach. Activity of small intestinal movement abnormalities also play a role, or the cause of IBS. Patients who had a bowel infection tend to have IBS. Studies show that IBS patients are more sensitive than the gut they do not have IBS.

Environmental and genetic factors affect each other. Most likely those with IBS have family members who have this disease.
Lifestyle factors such as excessive intake of fatty foods and lack of exercise may also contribute to the problem of IBS. High fiber diet is recommended to prevent IBS.

Treating IBS
IBS may be difficult to be treated. But it can not be controlled even when fully healed. IBS Treatment depends on the type of symptoms experienced by sufferers and how it affects your life every day. There is no specific drug to treat IBS. Treatment aimed at reducing the frequency and severity of IBS symptoms. Anti-spasm medication (medication to relieve muscle spasms in the intestines and abdominal wall), anti-anxiety trisiklik, drugs to treat colon function, laxatives, or laxatives (to treat constipation) and anti-diarrhea medication is the foundation of treatment for IBS. More fiber intake or food supplements may help some patients with constipation, but it will cause bloating to some other patients. Probiotics were also found to effectively help reduce the symptoms of IBS.

For a reminder, not a very effective treatment for all people. You need to work with your doctor to determine the best treatment. You also may need to change your lifestyle, particularly healthy eating pleasure and practice exercises.

Living with IBS

Measures to reduce the risk of IBS: -
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Always exercise, adequate sleep, and stop smoking.
• Practice healthy eating habits – Make sure you practice balance, moderation and variety in your diet
You are also advised to avoid: -
• Eat too much
• Certain foods may be sensitive to your
• Feeling depressed – Stress can stimulate muscle contractions cause intestinal and abdominal muscles convulse. IBS is not a disease that can be easy or trivial. It affects quality of life of patients

Ennui experienced demonstrable adverse effects on health. In the report researchers from University College London, boredom can cause you to die at a young age.

Although it is not particularly harmful, but the boredom that can be symptoms of the dangerous behavior such as drinking, smoking, drugs addiction and psychological problems. Survey was conducted on more than 7.000 civil servants aged between 35 to 55 years.
Young women were more easily bored, while those who reported boredom love having a heart attack.

“Based on this study, we conclude that the flatness of their potential to die young but it is not the main trigger,” said the report.

Extra: According to researchers from the Netherlands, pregnant women who smoke have high blood pressure and low levels of folic acid during the first trimester of pregnancy will have a small baby and other serious complications.

Research by physicists, Assoc. David Dunstan of Diabetes and Heart Institute in Victoria, Australia found that people who watch television more than four hours per day 80 per cent risk of heart disease.
However, this finding does not include other factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, unhealthy diet and acute pain.

He said many normal activities in daily life is replaced by just sitting watching television.
She said, someone who has a healthy body sitting on TV in a long time are also not good for sugar and blood pressure.

Extra: They are sitting too long is also the potential for heart disease and diabetes

Medicine Allergy

April 21st, 2010

Allergic reactions are side effects of medications that are not desirable and rare. Various types of allergic reactions can occur. This reaction can occur in a variety of effects ranging from mild rashes to severe major systems of the body. Body reactions can affect many organ systems, but often the skin is an organ that always had allergies. Identify the signs and symptoms of allergy medications is important because it can be life threatening. However, deaths due to drug allergy is not common.
Allergies are less common during the first medication. Allergy usually occur when the second intake. If you react the first time, you may have been exposed to these kinds of drugs without knowing it. Not all did not respond to medication side effects are allergic. In fact, in fact less than 10 percent of the allergy drug side effects. Other causes side effects is the interaction between 2 or more drugs, drugs that are not fully digested in the body (liver and kidney), over-dosage and side effects such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

Signs and symptoms
Allergy medication can cause a variety of symptoms occur depending on the drug and the frequency you take it. Here is a reaction that often occurs:

Skin
- Measles – such as rashes
- Itchy, red patches on the skin with the appearance of different causes prickly
- Photoallergy – Sensitivity to sunlight, the skin becomes itchy and red when exposed to sunlight
- Erythema multiforme – Red, swollen and itchy in certain areas sometimes associated with swelling of the tongue surface
- Fever
- Joint and muscular pain
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Infection of kidney
- Unlike most allergic reactions, which occur rapidly after exposure to cause allergic reactions, allergic reactions to medications occur a day or a week after taking the first dose.
- Anaphylaxis or anaphylactic reaction – the reaction is serious and can lead to death. Patients who experience this reaction should be treated immediately at the Emergency Hospital.
- Skin reactions, rash, red mark, I felt hot and itchy
- Difficulty in breathing – Chest blocked, tight core, producing a sound “wheezing, throat blockage.
- Dizziness – headache and loss of competitive balance in the body suddenly as a result of increased blood pressure
- Irregular heart beat
- Swelling in the face, tongue, lips, throat, joints, hands or feet
Almost all of Anaphylactic reactions occur within 4 hours after the first dose. Most of them occurred after 1 hour to take medication, but have also occurred within a minute or even per second.

Reasons for the Delay
Allergic reactions are caused by immune system reacts excessively to the drug, also known as chemical attack, or antigen. Excessive reaction is often referred to as a hypersensitivity reaction.
The body produces antibodies against antigens on the cell and keep it special.
- Antibodies in allergic reactions is called immunoglobulin E, or IgE.
- When the body is exposed to the same drug again. antibodies would signal the cells to release chemicals “mediator”. “Histamine is an example of a mediator
- The effect of this mediator will show symptoms of the reaction.
The main cause of allergy medications are as follows:
Painkillers (analgesics) scodeine, morphine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, like ibuprofen or indomethacin), and aspirin.
• Antibiotics such as penicillin, sulfa drugs, and tetracycline
• Antiseizure medicine such as phenytoin (Dilantin) or carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Risk factors
Risk factors for drug allergy:
-Always exposed to drugs
-Dose of medication is too much
-Medicine given by injection over pills
-The trend to stimulate allergy and asthma

Treatment
Treatment for drug allergies includes understanding what to do if you have this allergic reaction. Avoid medications that cause allergies and using drugs such as antihistamines for mild symptoms.
If you have allergic symptoms immediately after taking the drug, meet with the doctor. You can take antihistamine such as Diphenhydramine (Benadryl, etc.) to relieve itching and reduce the rash. If more severe reactions such as the treatment you need an injection or oral intake of corticosteroids. Anaphylaxis reactions require immediate action and treatment with epinephrine injection at the hospital to maintain blood pressure and help breathing.

Prevention
There is no known way to prevent drug allergies. You can reduce risk by minimizing the medication as long as possible. The more the body is exposed to the drug, the more easy to get allergy medicine.
Always inform your health care encounter for the treatment of allergies and the type of reactions you suffer. Do not take any drug reactions to your past. If you have been exposed to the reaction the first time, the risk for more severe reaction will increase.
If necessary, wear medical identification bracelet or chain. Equipment is worn at the wrist or neck to inform members of the health of allergic reactions and risk.
You can take the card on the health-related information in the wallet. Inform the medical personnel who treat you about any side effect ever experienced before they give you medicine.
Inform the medical personnel who treat you on any medications, prescription or non prescription medications you have taken.

Cancer Disease – Causes and Treatment Alternatives

April 15th, 2010

ahix

It seems whatever we do or eat these days is said to be the cause of cancer. Excessive exposure to sunlight is said to increase the risk of skin cancer. Asbestos and cigarette smoke causes lung cancer, which is the highest contributor to the statistics of deaths due to cancer. What else ya? Radiation, meat / sate burn, fat, saccharin (artificial sugar) and carcinogens (substances that can cause cancer) such as pesticides and herbicides.

We also believe that genes are the main factors that increase the risk of someone getting cancer. However, the study found that 80 to 90% of cancer patients came from families with no history of cancer.

What else we do not know? Many researchers provide a variety of theories about the real causes of cancer. However, none of the theories can explain the various aspects of cancer and the development of the disease in the human body.

Dr. Peter Kovacic write a comprehensive review of the medical puzzles in Current Medicinal chemistry in 2001. He says the many-many theories have been developed, only the oxidative stress theory is proven true. It can be explained rationally and systematically relate many aspects of carcinogenesis (cancer development).

What is oxidative stress? A simple oxidative stress is damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress that occurs in the body is the basic cause of most chronic diseases degenerative. For easy for you to see the effects of oxidative stress, try to see a picture that contains many generations of families. Look at their skin, you’ll see a big difference between the skin of young families with parents. No visible effect is caused by oxidative stress in skin. The same situation occurs in our body. So if you want beautiful skin, moisturizing lotion is not the answer. You can improve this situation by taking food or supplements rich in antioxidants, a substance that can eliminate free radicals and restore the damage caused by it.

Study Dr. Kovacic supporting medical evidence, the more it is when there is a lot of free radicals near the nucleus of cells, will be severe damage to the DNA of the cell. If carcinogen attack, the system will improve the body’s DNA is damaged. However, when too much stress oxidative, body systems are no longer able to repair the damage that will lead to the occurrence of mutations (changes) of DNA. Once the cells are the breed (two breaks), DNA mutations that have will be taken to the newly formed cells. When the DNA in this mutation directly exposed to oxidative stress, the more damage will occur. Tues will start to grow out of control and have a life of its own. It built the capacity to spread from one part of the body to the other (metastasis), and a cancer. In the adult body, the cancer may take 20 to 30 years to grow from the beginning of DNA mutations. In the body of a child is growing faster because of more rapid reproduction of cells.

Doctors often diagnose cancer when it has reached the final stages of development. Unfortunately, when the cancer has grown to a level that can cause symptoms or be detected by x-ray, it usually has been developed over more than 10 to 20 years. At that time not much doctors can do to help patients. A lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment recommended by his oncologist, a procedure that is said to bring the cancer into “remission” with 40% success. The patient asked what the purpose of remission? Oncologist said, “If your cancer can be brought into remission, your life will be extended for 3 months.” This tragic story of most people diagnosed with cancer.

Today we lost the battle against cancer. Is there any doubt that this malignant disease should be fought from the early stages of development before we could see a reduction in the rate of deaths from it? You know we have a hope, an alternative treatment. Understanding the role of oxidative stress in cancer development gives us new possibilities in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
