  • How To Combat Head Lice  By : John Rouque
    One of the most annoying things kids, and even us adults, can experience are head lice. These parasitic little insects are just about the size of a sesame seed so they're quite a challenge to spot until it's too late. On the average, a female louse lays six eggs per day; but while they may just be about a dozen adult lice in an infested head at one time, you should be aware that hundreds of eggs are still around just waiting to hatch. Isn't that creepy? Perhaps you'd feel a little more comforted by the fact that if there is no human host, lice will die. But that's still quite disturbing.

  • Psychological treatments are much better anxiety cure than taking medicine  By : Kusuma Widjaja
    It is normal for most people to experience anxiety and panic from time to time. It lets us deal with very stressful positions.

    One of nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime; a third of these women will succumb to the disease resulting in more than 44,000 death each year. Understandably, then breast cancer has received a great deal of appropriate publicity and has been the focus of intensive study relative to its origins, diagnostic methods, and treatment. Much has been gained particularly in early diagnosis and after remaining stable for many decades, the mortality rate from breast cancer in white women in the United States decreased slightly between 1989 and 1992. Unfortunately, the mortality rate for black women increased during the same period. It is both ironic and tragic that a neoplasm arising in an exposed organ readily accessible to sself examination and clinical diagnosis, continues to exact such a heavy toll, second only to lung cancer among women.

  • Valvular heart disease  By :
    Valvular involvement by disease causes stenosis, insufficiency (regurgitation), or both. Stenosis is the failure of a volve to open completely, thereby impeding forward flow Insufficiency, regurgitation, or incompetence, in contrast results from failure of a valve to close completely, thereby allowing reversed flow. These abnormalities can be either pure, when only stenosis or regurgitation is present or mixed when both stenosis and regurgitation coexist in the same valve, but one of these defects usually predominates. Dysfunction may affect a single valve (isolated disease) or multiple valves (combined disease). Functional regurgation results when a valve becomes incompetent owing to ventricular dilation, which causes the right or left ventricular papillary muscles to be pulled down and outward thereby preventing coaptation of otherwise intact leaflets during systole. Abnormalities of flow often produce abnormal heart sounds known as murmurs.

  • Tumors and Tumor like lesions of infancy and childhood  By :
    Oly 2% of all malignant tumors occur in infancy and childhood; nonetheless, cancer (including leukemia) is the leading cause of death from disease in the United States in chi9ldren over the age of 4 and up to 14 years of age. Neoplastic disease accounts for approximately 9% of all deaths in this cohort; only accidents cause significantly more deaths. Benign tumors are even more common than cancers. Most benign tumors are of little concern, but on occasion they cause serious disease by virtue of their location or rapid increase in size. It is sometimes difficult to segregate, on morphologic grounds, true tumors or tissues that are present in abnormal locations. Examples of heterotopias include a rest of pancreatic tissue found in the wall of the stomach or small intestine or a small mass of adrenal cells found in the kidney, lungs, ovaries, or elsewhere. The heterotopic rests are usually of little significance, but they can be confused clinically with neoplasms. Rarely, they are sites of origin of true neoplasms, producing the paradox of an adrenal carcinoma arising in the overy.

  • Malignant Mesothelioma  By :
    Malignant mesotheliomas in the thorax arise from either the visceral or the parietal pleura. Although uncommon they have assumed great importance in the past few years because of their increased incidence among persons with heavy exposure to asbestos. In coastal areas with shipping industries in the UNITED States and Great Britain and in Canadian and South African mining areas, up to 90% of reported mesotheliomas are asbestos-related. There is a long period of 25 to 45 years for the development of asbestos related mesothelioma and there seems to be no increased risk of mesothelioma in asbestos workers who smoke. This is in contrast to the risk of asbestos related bronchogenic carcinoma already high and is markedly magnified by smoking. Thus for asbestos workers those who are also smokers), the risk of dying of lung carcinoma far exceeds that of developing mesothelioma.
  • Pulmonary Tuberculosis  By :

In the western world the prevalence of histologic changes indicative of chronic gastritis exceeds 50% in the later decades of life.
  • Acute gastritis  By :
    Acute gasritis is an acute mucosal inflammatory process, usually of a transient nature.

    Cirrhosis is among the top ten causes of death in the Western world. Although it is the result of alchol abuse, other major contributors include chronic hepatitis, biliary disease, and iron overload. This end stage of chronic liver disease is defined by three characteristics:
  • Pulmonary hypertension and vascular sclerosis  By :
    The pulmonary circulation is normally one of low resistance and pulmonary blood pressure is only about one eighth of systemic blood pressure. Pulmonary hypertension (when mean pulmonary pressure reaches one fourth of systemic levels) is most frequently secondary to structural cardiopulmonary conditions that increase pulmonary blood flow or pressure (or both), pulmonary vasculary resistance or left heart resistance to blood flow . These include the following:
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes  By :
    Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) refers to a group of clonal stem cell disorders characterized by maturation defects resulting in ineffective hematopoiesis and an increased risk of transformation to AML. In patients with MDS, the bone marrow is partly or wholly replaced by the clonal progeny of a mutant multipotent stem cell that retains the capacity to differentiate into red cells, granulocytes, and platelets, but in a manner that is both ineffective and disordered. As a result, the bone marrow is usually hypercellular or normocellular, but the peripheral blood shows pancytopenia. MDS arises in two distinct settings:
  • Bacterial pneumonia  By :
    Bacterial invasion of the lung parenchyma evokes exudative solidification (consolidation) of the pulmonary tissue known as bacterial pneumonia. Many variables, such as the specific etiologic agent, the host reaction, and the extent of involvement, determine the precise form of pneumonia. Thus, classification may be made according to etiologic agent (e.g., pneumococcal or staphylococcal pneumonia), the nature of the host reaction (e.g., suppurative, fibrinous), or the gross anatomic distribution of the disease ( lobular bronchopneumonia versus lobar pneumonia)
  • Hyperpituitarism and pituitary adenomas  By :
    In many instances, excess production of anterior pituitary hormones is caused by the presence of an adenoma arising in the anterior lobe. Other less common causes include hyperplasias and carcinomas of the anterior pituitary secretion hormones by some pituitary tumors, and certain hypothalamic disorders. As well shall see pituitary adenomas may be nonfunctional and may also cause hypopituitary parenchyma. Fuctional pituitary adenomas are usually composed of a single cell type and produce a single cell type but secrete more than one hormone, and occasionally adenomas contain more than one cell population.
  • Crohn disease  By :
    When first described in 1932 this idiopathic disorder was thought to be limited to the terminal ileum, hence the designation terminal ileitis. Recognition that sharply delineated bowel segment s might be affected, with intervening unaffected areas, led to the alternate name regional enteritis. Predominant involvement of the colon give raise to the term granulomatous colitis. It is now clear that any level of the alimentary tract may be involved and that there are systemic manifestations; thus the eponymic name crohn disease is preferred. When fully developed, crohn disease is characterized pathologically by (1) sharply delimited and typically transmural involvement of the bowelby an inflammatory process with mucosal damage, (2) the presence of noncaseating granulomas and (3) fissuring with formation of fistulas.
  • Ulcerative colitis  By :
    Ulcerative colitis is an unceroinflammatory disease limited to the colon and affecting only the mucosa and submucosa except in the most severe cases. In contrast to Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis extends in a continious fashion proximally from the rectum. Well-formed granulomas are absent. Similar to Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis is a systemic disorder associated in some patients with migratory polyarthritis, sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, uveitis hepatic involvement (pericholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis and skin lesions.
  • Nutritional Supplements For All Round Health  By : Calvin Leonard
    There are many fallacies about vitamin supplements, with many people believing that all supplements are beneficial to health, and that you simply can�t get too many vitamins.But it is true that vitamin nutritional supplements are among the most important things you can do for the general health of your mind and body.
