Groshan Fabiola's Articles in Health & Fitness Show All|Display Category|Title|Newest|Oldest Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is easily noticeable because of its physical manifestations. A problem that develops mostly in elderly people, Parkinson’s is very important to acknowledge so that it can be taken care of at its early stages. Knowing what it is and what the symptoms are will help you to catch it in the beginning and start treatment immediately. Parkinson's disease results when brain cells deteriorate. It is a chronic condition because it has no cure and does not go away by itself. It is al The Variety of Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Multiple sclerosis is a complex disorder of the nervous system which can generate a wide range of symptoms, varying in intensity and duration. Each patient’s experience with multiple sclerosis is different and symptoms are perceived differently from a person to another. Multiple sclerosis can involve visual, sensory and motor symptoms, depending on the body systems which are affected by the disease. In more advanced stages of progression, multiple sclerosis can also determine dysfunctions of the Different methods of treating strep throat Strep throat is a common affection that some people tend to overlook first, but although the viruses and bacteria that cause strep throat are generally harmless to the body, the pain and the other symptoms that strep throat causes will make anyone seek treatment sooner or later. How is scabies treated and what is the most effective treatment method? Scabies is a parasitic, contagious infection of the skin that can spread quite quickly both from one area of the skin to another and from one person to another by simple skin to skin contact. It is caused by very tiny, almost invisible without a magnifying device, mites. These mites live on the skin and cause it to irritate and itch. They also lay eggs and multiply so you need to get rid of them quick if you don't want all your skin to become infected. All about the ringworm symptoms and treatment Ringworm is a common infection of the skin that can be found both at humans and animals, especially cats, which are the most common ringworm carriers. Possible causes of peptic gastric and duodenal ulcer Recent studies have indicated the bacteria (lately discovered) Helicobacter Pylori as the primer cause for stomach and duodenum peptic damages. Due to the fact that this aggressive bacteria works in synergism with other potential factors such as acid secretion, it produces major destructions like inflammation and ulcerations of the gastric and duodenal tissues. Useful multiple sclerosis facts & information In order to understand multiple sclerosis and how it can be treated you need to know a few basic facts about how the nervous system works when it's not affected by the illness. Wrong diagnosis and unnecessary removal of the appendix Thousands of children have their appendix unnecessary removed because of the lack of experience of the surgeons. About 8% of the appendectomies are unjustified in spite of appendicitis being the most common pediatric disease. Children must undergo a surgical operation that finally proves a normal healthy appendix. Useful information about acute appendicitis Acute appendicitis is a surgical emergency most frequently caused by an obstruction of the communication between Ilion and appendix. It causes an inflammation of the mucous layer because of the colonization with intestinal bacterial flora. In case of appendix perforation, fecal matter and infected intestinal bodies pierce into the peritoneum and cause acute septic peritonitis. Depending on the infected area, the peritonitis can be local or general; around the inflamed appendix an abscess can app Symptoms and causes of sinusitis - Part two Bacteria such as Haemophyllus Influenza or Streptococcus Pneumonia are usual inhabitants of our upper respiratory tract causing no damages to the body. When the organism is affected by another viral infection, is weaken or the sinuses are obstructed, they lead to an acute sinus infection. Fungal organisms like Aspergillus and Curvularia cause an allergic sinusitis to persons with suppressed immune systems. Observing and treating sinus infections The human nose is the first external filter of the through nasal passages and sinus cavities incoming air. The lining connecting nasal passages and sinus cavities contains a so called cilliar layer, a hair like cell extremity with the role of catching fluids and bacteria and draining them into the nasal passage. The benefits of ultrasonography in diagnosing appendicitis Doctors know nowadays that diagnosing appendicitis is most easy and most difficult at the same time. Symptoms like pain around the navel, nausea, vomiting can also be caused by other disorders in the abdominal area. The pain in appendicitis localizes in the right ileal fossa where a sensation of tenderness and discomfort occurs due to the implication of the peritoneum. Symptoms and causes of sinus infections - Part one People usually think of a cold when having those regular symptoms; hardly when the headaches become unbearable they see a doctor and find out they suffer from sinusitis. Although sinusitis only means an inflammation of the sinus cavities, the symptoms are always worse than you expect and people spend millions every year trying to relief the symptoms. Surgical methods for appendicitis The first classical appendicectomy was performed in 1880 on a recommendation for appendicitis without further complications such as perforation. Today it is still the most practiced surgical operation; appendicitis occurs at about 1 of 500 cases every year. Most common symptoms of sinus infections This kind of infections usually appears because of the obstruction of the nasal passages and sinus cavities due to the incapacity of the cillate cells to filter all foreign particles. The cill failure is mainly caused by air pollution and viral or bacterial multitude in the air we breathe. The Malign Effects of Hepatitis C Virus Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an international health problem. Hepatitis C virus is the main cause of chronic liver disease and accounts for around 150.000 new annual cases of hepatitis C in the United States alone. Apart from being responsible for causing hepatitis C, HCV can also cause hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. People with acute forms of hepatitis C can in time develop chronic forms of the disease. Furthermore, people who suffer from chronic hepatitis C can develop The Implications of Alcohol Use among Patients with Hepatitis C Despite the fact that long-term alcohol use is a known cause of liver diseases such as liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, a series of recent studies upon this matter have identified additional aspects regarding the impact of alcohol consumption among patients with hepatitis C. The main purpose of the recently conducted studies was to reveal the way alcohol use interferes in the treatment of hepatitis C. Another aim of the studies was to identify other effects of alcohol abuse on the health of patient Stress Experiences during Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia Without any doubt, experiences while in the womb have a great influence on the development of the child at later stages in life. The connection between undesirable events during the prenatal period and the occurrence of physiological or psychological impairments soon after birth, later in childhood or at maturity has been confirmed by a wide variety of medical studies conducted in the recent past. Factors such as viral infections, poor nutrition, physical traumas (due to mechanical shocks or abn How is a child with autism syndrome? Autism is not a disease, but a developmental desorder of brain function. Symptoms of autism syndrom usually appear during the first three years of childhood and continue through life. Children are social creatures who like to smile, laugh, cuddle and play. But there are also children taht seem to exist in their own world, where there are repetitive routines, odd behaviors, comunication problems or total lack of social awarness or interest in others. Prevention and treatment of sinus infections Sinusitis, like colds and flues, cannot be entirely prevented but there are ways of making it easier to bare and control. The body’s resistance to infections increases if you get enough rest. Physical exercises and follow an equilibrate diet; also the number of sinusitis attacks get lower and the risk of chronic sinusitis decreases. Natural treatment for appendicitis, using herbs Herbal treatment for appendicitis means sustaining the recovery after the surgical intervention; it cannot replace surgery by any chance. If you suspect appendicitis in you or your child call a doctor immediately. Management of appendicitis before and after surgery - Part two Right the next day after the surgical intervention the patient will have to get up and slowly take a few steps through the hospital. Although it may seem like a torment for a just operated person, movement is essential for the resumption of the intestinal transit and will also prevent from occurring pneumonia by inhalation of digestive content. Infectious and non-infectious causes of sinus infections - Part two The gastro esophageal reflux disease with acid turns in the esophagus is being associated with many cases of respiratory diseases in children but also in some cases of chronic sinusitis in adults. In a clinical study more than 4% of the children suffering from GERD had sinus damages, and about 63% of children with sinusitis had GERD. Some specialists see the gastro esophageal reflux as normal in children and deny its significance for upper respiratory diseases. Infectious and non-infectious causes of sinusitis - Part one On a predisposed field for infection, like a cold or a flu causing virus, sinuses disorders are usually caused by bacterial organisms. Sinusitis is mostly an acute case and can be well treated; in other cases though symptoms can persist and lead to a chronic damage, or several acute episodes of sinusitis occur showing the signs of a recurrent sinusitis. Most frequent questions about sinus infections Main every day life causes of sinusitis are catching cold, not drinking enough liquids, not resting enough, blowing the nose to hard or annoying the first signs of infection. Untreated small infections can get severe in time and even become permanent in chronic sinusitis. Allergic sinusitis can easily chronicize if not properly deled with. Management of appendicitis before and after surgery Part one Appendicitis is a frequent digestive disease, an inflammation of the appendix hanging on incipient part of the intestines called Ilion. The inflammation can be caused by a foreign body obstructing the connection to the Ilion, or by an anatomic obstacle. Laparoscopic technology in appendicitis surgery The greatest change in general surgery techniques in the last period of time was the use of laparoscopy for different types of interventions. Laparoscopic method was quickly applied also in surgery of acute appendicitis. Although it provides most useful and rapid information through mini invasive incisions, Laparoscopy hasn’t been adopted as an exclusive surgical method. How can we know that our child may suffer from type 1 diabetes? Type 1 diabetes is a very well known disease due its permanent existence in the body system and also the serie of procedures that involves. Diabetes occurs due to the lack of beta cells in the pancreas. Much more, the role of the beta cells is in producing insulin, a vital component of the body system. Once they are destroyed by the body's own immune system, they need to be replace by external sources in order to maintain a balance of beta cells in the pancreas and the most important in prolongi Facts and treatments regarding Diabetes Diabetes is considered a serios affection due to its permanent existence, procedures and moreover the complications that involves. Even though many people all over the world suffer from diabetes, the specialists haven t discovered yet the real source of its occurance. It is very important to mention that people who suffer from diabets should ask for medical help as soon as they notice changes in their body and unusual symptoms. The Effects of Lupus at Ocular Level Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a very complex disease that can affect multiple regions of the body, causing a wide range of symptoms. Although the systemic form of lupus can affect virtually any organ system of the human body, the disease commonly involves impairments of the eye. In patients with lupus, the ocular globe itself (eyeball) is affected more often than the ocular orbit (eye socket). When the ocular orbit is also affected, lupus leads to serious inflammation of the conjunctive membra The Benefic Effects of Cannabis on Patients with Multiple Sclerosis According to recently conducted experiments, cannabis can be considered an effective remedy for patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. While at first the symptomatic improvements experienced by patients with multiple sclerosis who have been administered cannabinoid products were thought to be determined solely by psychological factors, later research has revealed that cannabis actually reduces muscular spasms and stiffness characteristic to multiple sclerosis sufferers. The benefic effects Fact sheet for hepatitis C Hepatitis C is one of the worst liver diseases, it affects more that 30.000 people each year, and millions are carrying the hepatitis C virus in their bodies. Unfortunately it also causes quite a large number of deaths. How to avoid sinusitis Millions of Americans are affected by sinusitis every year, much more than in the years before discovering antibiotics. Though, ant biotherapy still remains the best method to cure SOME of the sinus infections, especially those produced by bacteria. General information about appendicitis The affection known as appendicitis means in fact the inflammation of the appendix, the smallest and shortest part of the large intestine hanging on the right side of the Ilion. Although its importance in the human body only lies in containing parts of the lymphoid system, it can easily become ill and cause major problems if not treated. Without a surgical intervention at the right time, the appendix can get infected, break open or can even lead to death. Around 1 of 500 persons makes appendici Diagnosis and surgical treatment of appendicitis Appendicitis is a digestive disorder manifested by a blockage of the connection between the appendix and the rest of the intestines. The inflammation can be caused by infections in the body or by foreign bodies in the appendicle lumen. If not removed in time by surgery, it can perforate and lead to major infections spread in the entire abdomen. Its function is negligible for the human body but frequent cases of its inflammation are due to its role in the cellular mediated immunity against extern Diagnosing and treating sinus infections If you consult a physician, he will mostly diagnose sinus diseases by a complete history of your signs and by examining your sinus area and the upper respiratory system. A simple but efficient way to diagnose sinus inflammation and infection is to exercise pressure on the forehead and cheek bones sinuses; it the area is sensitive, a positive diagnose may be established. General information about the treatment in sinusitis Sinus infections are generally cured by medicational means as well as by applying warmed up compresses on your face at home. Diabetes Doesn't Have to Lead to Chronic Kidney Disease Diabetes causes damage to the kidneys by causing harm to the small blood vessels that make the kidneys filters. If the filters get really damaged then chronic kidney disease develops. This is an incurable disease but it can be controlled. An early treatment of diabetes helps by reducing the damage the kidneys receive so that when dialysis is needed the kidneys won't fail. Causes, symptoms and treatment of sinusitis Sinusitis is an acute or chronicle disorder caused by the swelling of the nasal passages and inflammation of the sinuses. The swollen nasal passages create a blockage and the nasal discharges cannot be evicted; in time infection appears. Causes, signs and symptoms for appendicitis The appendix is a cylindrical segment of the larger intestine localized in the right lower part of the abdomen. It has no important role in the human body but gets easily inflamed because of its content in imunitary cells. Learn the symptoms of strep throat and how to distinguish it from a cold Strep throat is an annoying contagious illness that makes the throat irritated and can cause serious pain in some cases. It keeps advancing if it's not treated. Strep throat is caused by a bacteria called a streptococcus that can be transmitted through the air, especially if an already infected person coughs or sneezes. What is the scabies rash and what do you need to do when it appears? Scabies is an infestation of the skin with tiny parasites, or mites, called Sarcoptes scabiei. This infection is very contagious and it causes a lot of itching that can sometimes be unbearable, especially if it keeps appearing during the night time. Roles Played by Nutritional Factors in the Management of Multiple Sclerosis Although no diet can compete with existing medication treatments for multiple sclerosis in terms of curative effects, a special regime can help alleviate existing symptoms by controlling a series of biological and chemical processes inside the body. Recent research has revealed the fact that nutrition plays a major role in multiple sclerosis; while an inappropriate diet can amplify the autoimmune response of the body, determining an acceleration in the process of demyelization (destruction of my What is ringworm of the scalp and how can it be treated? Ringworm is a skin disease that is caused by a species of fungi. It can affect different areas of the skin, and if it appears on the scalp it's called ringworm of the scalp. It is much more common in children than in adults, in fact more than 90% of the cases are seen at children. Other treatments and their importance in causing and aggravating digestive ulcers After years of studies and experiments scientists quoted Celebrex and other few similarly drugs treating arthritis, are less dangerous for causing gastrointestinal problems and ulcers. Newly it was discovered that Celebrex doesn’t protect the stomach from bleedings and complications as well as we thought it does. How is multiple sclerosis diagnosed? Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the nerves and causes a lot of vision, balance and control problems. People that have passed half of their lives are usually more at risk of suffering from multiple sclerosis. The Effects of Obesity on Patients with Hepatitis C In order to confirm a series of hypotheses regarding the major influence of obesity and metabolic anomalies in facilitating and accelerating the progression of viral hepatitis, medical researchers have recently conducted several different studies. All the performed studies produced similar results and doctors were finally able to draw a conclusion upon this matter. According to recent study findings, obesity and the so called “metabolic syndrome” (a wide spectrum of disorders that also comprise The Cause of Hepatitis C and Risk Factors in Developing the Disease Although there are multiple risk factors involved in the development of hepatitis C, most of them are related to the transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C virus is the main cause of hepatitis C and many other forms of liver disease (hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma). Hepatitis C is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease, despite its slow-evolving character. In the absence of medical treatment, mild forms of hepatitis C don’t usually clear up on thei Fibromyalgia Often Unspotted during Pregnancy Fibromyalgia is a serious disorder of suspected neurological origin manifested by intense, recidivating muscular pain, joint stiffness, pronounced sate of generalized fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety, irritability, increased sensitivity to external stimuli and depression. At present, the exact causes and risk factors of the disease are unknown, fibromyalgia still being regarded as an enigma among the medical community. Emotional responses to faces in autism syndrome Autism has been thought to be characterized, in part, by dysfunction in emotional and social cognition, but the pathology of the underlying processes and their neural substrates remain poorly understood. Children with autism syndrome made abnormal social judgments regarding the trustworthiness of faces, however, they are able to make normal social judgments from lexical stimuli, and they have a normal ability to perceptually discriminate the stimuli. Different approaches to colon cancer treatment Colon cancer is a disease that affects the large intestine, an organ that absorbs the nutrients from the food, and stores and eliminates the fecal material. The large intestine has two parts, the colon and the rectum. Colon cancer occurs when tumors appear inside the colon and rectum. These tumors can be malignant, in which case they do not present any danger and they can be removed by a simple surgery, and beningn. Beningn tumors are cancerous tumors that can spread and cause life-threatening c The Effects of Sunlight on Patients with Lymphoma Despite the fact that medical scientists believed in the past that the progression of lymphoma was accelerated and the intensity of its generated symptoms amplified by exposure to sunlight, recently performed research suggests the opposite. Clearly contradicting the existing theories on the implication of sunlight in aggravating lymphoma cases, the recent findings haven’t been well received by most oncologists and medical scientists worldwide. However, if the new discoveries upon this matter are The Diversity of Lupus Symptoms Lupus is a complex autoimmune disease that generates a wide variety of symptoms. The symptoms produced by lupus may range from mild to severe and generally occur in flares, unpredictably aggravating or ameliorating over time. Some of the common symptoms of lupus are: pronounced fatigue, pain and swelling of the joints, skin rashes and fever. At skin level, lupus often causes the occurrence of the “butterfly rash”, which appears across the nose and cheeks. Although the butterfly rash is the most Presumptive Causes of Multiple Sclerosis There are many debates over the specific causes of multiple sclerosis. However, in the absence of conclusive evidence, medical scientists can only speculate upon the causes and risk factors behind multiple sclerosis and other similar autoimmune diseases. Although certain theories regarding a series of multiple sclerosis specific triggers have been partially confirmed by recent medical studies, doctors need additional data in order to identify the exact set of multiple sclerosis causes. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma as the Fifth Most Common Form of Cancer in the United States Lymphoma is a disease of the lymphatic system that generally occurs due to overproduction of different types of cells. Due to their abnormal rate of multiplication, these cells have a malign effect on the organism, accumulating in various regions of the lymphatic system and causing swelling and inflammation of the lymph nodes, lymphatic tissues and lymphatic organs (tonsils, spleen or thymus). Hepatitis C treatment - benefits and disadvantages Hepatitis C is a severe disease caused by a virus that affects the liver. The virus is transmitted by blood to blood contact and contrary to what some people believe, you can't get the virus by touching or kissing an infected person. You can get it by getting an injection with the same needle that was used on someone with the virus or by having sexual intercourse with a person that suffers from hepatitis C. Strep throat in adults - a mild affection that should not be overlooked Strep throat in adults is a viral infection of the throat caused by a bacteria named streptococcus. It's a very common illness that affects millions, but if it is treated in time it can be cured easily and it causes no serious trouble. But if nothing is done against it the infection can spread and you'll need immediate treatment. What is scabies, how can it be treated and prevented? Scabies is an infection of the skin caused by little mites that burrow inside it and cause itchy bumps to appear at the surface of the skin. It is contagious and it can easily be transmitted from one person to another by direct skin to skin contact. Those infected with scabies should be kept away from others so that they don't spread the illness. What is multiple sclerosis and how can we fight against it Mutiple sclerosis is a chronic illness of the central nervous system which has effects on the body's defense system. Gastric ulcer in racehorses Most recent studies have discovered a much higher incidence of stomach ulceration in performance horses then it was earlier recognized. In spite of the gastric lesions only some of the horses will develop actual stomach ulcer. Factors Suspected of Causing Multiple Sclerosis Although the exact causes and risk factors of multiple sclerosis are still unknown to modern medical science, it is believed that the disease occurs on the premises of inherited genetic dysfunctions and is triggered by certain environmental factors (either exposure to chemicals or infections with viruses or bacteria). Despite the fact that medical scientists have conducted elaborate research on multiple sclerosis over the last few years, the exact genes that render people more susceptible to dev Disparities among African-Americans with autism syndrome Autism syndrome is a complicated disorder which affects every race, ethnic group and socioeconomic status and it can be diagnosed in children as 18 months old. A parent becomes concerned when his child may lack eye contact, be deaf or avoids interacting with others and by going to a doctor he will learn that he has a child with autism syndrome. A child can show this behaviors after birth or when he grows older. Learn the common symptoms of colon cancer in order to get immediate treatment Colon cancer is a dangerous form of cancer that starts in the colon, and then if nothing is done to treat it, it will start to spread. The causes of colon cancer have not been discovered yet, but scientists are researching its causes and new treatments that can help cure colon cancer and metastatic colon cancer. The Causes of Lupus between Facts and Suppositions Lupus can be defined as a severe inflammatory disease that affects virtually any region of the body. Lupus is also considered to be an autoimmune disease, involving inappropriate functioning of the immune system. Due to this fact, the disease can eventually lead to a wide variety of disorders, producing an extensive range of symptoms. Ocular Lymphoma – A Major Indicator of Brain Involvement in Patients with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cular lymphoma, also referred to as intraocular large cell lymphoma, is a subtype of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma that primarily affects the central nervous system. The incidence of ocular lymphoma among the global population has known a pronounced decrease since 1960, although paradoxically it has slightly increased in the last few years. Although there isn’t enough evidence to support this theory, medical scientists believe that the recently increased incidence of the disease is mainly caused by pro How can hepatitis C be trasmitted? Hepatitis C is a disease that inflammates the liver and can cause a lot of damage to it. It can eventually lead to liver cancer if nothing is done to treat it. Factors behind the Progression of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a form of autoimmune disease that often causes irreversible impairments at different levels of the nervous system. At present, multiple sclerosis can neither be prevented, nor completely cured. However, the existing treatments are used to slow down the progression of the disease, prolong the periods of remission, ease the symptomatic flare-ups and prevent the development of further complications. The main factor responsible for the development of multiple sclerosis is inapp All you need to know about strep throat Hepatitis C is a serious, possibly life-threatening disease of the liver. The disease occurs due to infection with HCV (hepatitis C virus) and it can be either acute or chronic. An estimated 170.000.000 people worldwide are diagnosed with hepatitis C and around 4.000.000 people in the United States alone are infected with hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C is commonly acquired through contaminated intravenous injections and prior to 1992, when there were no reliable methods of identifying HCV in blo What is the best ringworm medication? Although its name suggests it, ringworm is not an illness caused by a worm, it is a fungal infection of the skin that resembles a worm. The ringworm fungus can grow on the skin and cause a red itchy circular patch to appear. This patch is bright red towards the edges and a less bright red towards its center, forming a ring. Because the skin is more irritated near the margins of the ringworm infection it is also a little swollen there, so the affected areas look like a small worm that has the sha Conventional and natural treatments for scabies Scabies is a disease caused by a parasite called Sarcoptes scabiei that is attracted by the human body and that likes to live underneath the skin. Scabies used to be, and in some places it still is, a major problem in large institutions such as the army, where many people live together and if a single individual has scabies then most of the others will also get it because it is very contagious. The mite that causes scabies can be transmitted to others by simply touching an infected individual or Different methods of multiple sclerosis therapy Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that makes it attack the myelin, a substance that protects the nerve endings that are spread throughout the entire body. The central nervous system is responsible for sending the white blood cells and the antibodies attack the viruses and bacteria that threaten to cause infections. When the nervous system is affected by multiple sclerosis it sends these guardian cells against the myelin. The cause of this behavior is not known yet but Disclosures about prevention and treatment of digestive bleeding ulcer When it comes to treating peptic ulcer complicated by the presence of Helicobacter Pylori and stomach recurrent bleedings appears the question whether pharmacological procedures really work. Based on medical cases and highly researched evidences doctors prove the effects of endoscopical evaluation and treatment as well as of pharmaceutical management of upper gastrointestinal bleedings. Consequences of Myelin Destruction in Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease that primarily affects the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system of the body – CNS). In later stages of the disease, multiple sclerosis can involve virtually any innervated section of the body (body parts which contain structures of agglomerated nerve terminations). By affecting the nerve fibers which have the role to transmit signals between the central nervous system and all the innervated organs, multiple sclerosis can cause a multitud Hepatitis C Overview Hepatitis C is a serious, possibly life-threatening disease of the liver. The disease occurs due to infection with HCV (hepatitis C virus) and it can be either acute or chronic. An estimated 170.000.000 people worldwide are diagnosed with hepatitis C and around 4.000.000 people in the United States alone are infected with hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C is commonly acquired through contaminated intravenous injections and prior to 1992, when there were no reliable methods of identifying HCV in blo First Discoveries on Viral Hepatitis Viral hepatitis is a very common infectious disease responsible for causing more than 1.5 million annual deaths among afflicted patients. Despite the fact that extensive data reports on viral hepatitis have been first established at the beginning of the 20th century, the causes of the disease remained unknown until the 1940s, when the implication of a new virus in triggering the disease was first revealed. Performing additional research on hepatitis, virologists have later discovered two major d Depression Commonly Mistaken for Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome A wide variety of chronic disorders of suspected neurological causes such as Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS) involve the existence of symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, anxiety and confusion, symptoms that generally occur in patients with depression. However, after conducting a series of medical investigations, scientists have revealed the fact that lots of patients with clear signs of depression have been misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome over th What is the diet's role in colon cancer? Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in both the USA and Europe, and colon cancer is the most dangerous cancer besides lung cancer. It can be easily cured when it is in its early stages, but the problem is that is rarely shows any signs and symptoms when the tumor is isolated, so it's hard to detect it before it spreads. When it reaches metastasis, or stage IV, the chances of survival drop under 10% because in this phase it has already spread to at least one more organ. It usually spread Children with autism syndrome and dental anesthesia A surgical procedure can be a frightening experience for any parent and their child, specially for a child with autism syndrome. If your child needs a surgical procedure with anesthesia, you must know that anesthesia can be broken down into three basic types: general anesthesia, regional anesthesia and sedation anesthesia. There are some suggestions and information for parents that have children with autism syndrome. Anorexia and bulimia - the most common eating disorders Eating disorders are a common problem of the modern society. Mostly women are affected by eating disorders but a number of men are also suffering from them. What are the most common hepatitis C symptoms? Hepatitis C is an illness that causes the liver to inflammate and damages it in time. It is caused by viruses that are transmitted from blood to blood contact with an infected person, and it affects millions of people all over the world. Efficient Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis Despite the fact that there is no specific cure for multiple sclerosis in present, existing treatments are effective in slowing down the progression rate of the disease and preventing the development of further complications. Considering the fact that most of the effects of multiple sclerosis are irreversible, it is imperative to timely diagnose the disease and begin the administration of the appropriate course of medications. With the right treatment and with the aid of supportive therapies (ph Difficulties in Diagnosing Lupus Due to its polyvalent character and its intrinsic nature (lupus is triggered and augmented by severe immune system impairments), lupus is very difficult to diagnose accurately and promptly. In some cases, the complexity of lupus renders doctors unable to reveal its presence in time, the unspecific symptoms produced by the autoimmune disease often being misleading in the process of establishing the correct diagnosis. It may take months or even years to confirm the diagnosis received by patients w What are the multiple sclerosis symptoms? Multiple sclerosis is a difficult illness that affects more than one million people. Those affected loose control over their senses, because multiple sclerosis attacks the central nervous system, which processes the signals sent from the nerves in the body, making us able to touch, see, smell and everything else. A few simple home remedies for curing strep throat The tissue inside the throat is very vulnerable to foreign bacteria and microorganisms and it can be infected very easily because the air we breathe passes through the throat so if we breathe any viruses we are at high risk of getting a strep throat. How to find the best cure for ringworm Ringworm is a fungal skin infection that is very contagious and that can affect both humans and animals. In many cases people got infected by touching an infected animal. Cats are known to be common carriers of ringworm. What are the causes of scabies and how can it be transmitted? Scabies is a common illness that used to affect a large amount of people in the past, but now because most of the people respect society's hygiene rules and because the treatments are continuously improving, the number of scabies patients is decreasing. “ABC Drugs” – Efficient Medications Used in the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis Today’s treatments for multiple sclerosis primarily aim to slow down the progression of the disease, prevent the development of further complications and alleviate the existing symptoms. At present there is no specific cure for multiple sclerosis and thus no medical treatment can completely eliminate the disease. In addition, the medications used in multiple sclerosis treatments can’t reverse the nerve damage caused by multiple sclerosis; they can only prevent future damage by minimizing the des Interesting Aspects of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Lymphoma is a disease that affects the lymphatic system of the body, causing an excessive production of different types of cells. The presence in excess of dysfunctional, malignant cells can cause a lot of damage to the organism. Due to their abnormally fast rate of multiplication, the dysfunctional cells accumulate in different regions of the lymphatic system (lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils), causing inflammation and pronounced swelling. There are many forms of lymphoma, and each type of disease Classification of Multiple Sclerosis Types Multiple sclerosis is a complex disease of the central nervous system that also involves the peripheral nerves of the brain and spinal cord. At present, the specific causes of multiple sclerosis are unknown, and thus the disease can’t be efficiently prevented or cured. However, the good news is that multiple sclerosis is not a life-threatening disease and that the existing treatments can successfully keep its generated symptoms under control. With the aid of an appropriate course of treatment, t Classification of Lupus Types Due to the fact that it involves impairments of the immune system and determines the body to destroy its own healthy cells and tissues, lupus is defined as an autoimmune disease. A major characteristic of lupus and autoimmune diseases in general is the multitude of generated symptoms. When the compromised immune system becomes confused and targets healthy blood cells and tissues instead of external antigens, the disease can affect virtually any part of the body, producing a wide variety of sympt What are the causes and risk factors for hepatitis C? Hepatitis C is a severe illness that affects the liver and can lead to serious complications such as liver cancer. Millions of people have the hepatitis C virus in them, but some of them are only experiencing mild symptoms and they can live with it. However, others are seriously affected by this illness and it kills them slowly. If it's not treated it can lead to cirrhosis, and the liver almost stops functioning. Aspartame and the Increased Risks of Lymphoma Cancer According to the findings of a recent study conducted by the Cancer Research Center of the European Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Bologna, Italy, the frequent use of aspartame considerably increases the risks of developing lymphoma cancers and leukemia. Although the long-term study was conducted exclusively on female rats, without involving the active participation of any human subjects, the results are still very conclusive: aspartame is a clear carcinogenic agent that ha Difficulties in Recognizing Hepatitis C Symptoms Considering the fact that most hepatitis C symptoms are unspecific, diagnosing the disease relying solely on patients’ reports of symptoms can be very difficult. Furthermore, people with chronic or mild forms of the disease may actually have no hepatitis C symptoms at all in the incipient stages of the disease. Hepatitis C can be effectively diagnosed only after finding traces of HCV (hepatitis C virus) in the blood. Therefore, blood analyses are very important in revealing the presence of hepat Common Forms of Treatment for Hepatitis C Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). This type of virus has been recently identified to cause a wide range of liver diseases such as cirrhosis (liver cancer).
