  • Hypercholesterolemia  By :
    Hyperlipidemia is acknowledged to be a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. Most of the evidence specifically implicates hypercholesterolemia; hypertriglyceridemia plays a less significant role, but its effect may be greater in women than men. The major component of the total serum cholesterol that is associated with increased risk is low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. In contrast , there is an inverse relationship between symptomatic atherosclerosis and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level; thus, the higher the levels of HDL, the lower is the risk of ischemic heart disease. HDL is believed to mobilize cholesterol from developing and existing atheroma and transport it to the liver for excretion in the bile. Thus HDL participates in reverse transport of cholestrol, thereby earning its designation as the good cholesterol. There is thus great interest in dietary, pharmacologic, and behavioral methods of lowering serum LDL and raising serum HDL. Exercise and moderate consumption of ethanol both raise the HDL level whereas obesity and smoking lower it .

    Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs-skin,blood vessels, heart, lungs and muscles- but principally attacks the joints, producing a nonsuppurative proliferative synovitis that often progresses to destruction of the articular cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. Although the cause of RA remains unknown, autoimmunity plays a pivotal role in its chronicity and progression.
  • Inflammatory Disease  By :
    Inflammation of the walls of vessels called vasculitis, is encountered in diverse disease and clinical settings. Vessels of any type in virtually any organ can be affected; this leads to a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, which often includes constitutional signs and syumptoms , such as fever, myalgias, artralgias, and malaise. The two most common mechanisms of vasculitis are immune-mediated inflammation and direct invasion of vascular walls by infectious pathogens. Infections can directly induce a noninfectious vasculitis , for example by generating immune complexes or triggering cross-reactivity. In a particular patient, it is critical to distinguish between directly infectious and immunologic mechanisms because the treatment approaches differ widely for example the immunosuppressive therapy appropriate for immune mediated vasculitis would be potentially harmful for infectious vasculitis. Physical and chemical injury, such as irradiation , mechanical trauma and toxins, can also cause vascular damage. In such cases one or a relatively few vessels may be affected, as for example in a localized area of infection , irradiation, or mechanical trauma.
  • Breast cancer  By :
    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.
  • Cardiac dysfunction  By :
    Although many disease can involve the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular dysfunction results from five principal mechanisms:
  • Tumors of the small and large intestines  By :
    Epithelial tumors of the intestines are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The colon (including the rectum) is host to more primary neoplasms than any other organ in the body. Colorectal cancer ranks second only to bronchogenic carcinoma among the cancer killers. Adenocarcinomas constitute the vast majority of colorectal cancers and represent 70% of all malignacies arising in the gastrointestinal tract. The small intestine is an uncommon site for benign or malignant tumors despite its great length and vast pool of dividing mucosal cells. The classification of intestinal tumors is the same for the small intestine and colon. Although small intestinal tumors are addressed first, the bulk of the discussion is devoted to colorectal neoplasia.
  • Hypertensive Heart Disease  By :
    Hypertensive heart disease is the response of the heart to the increased demands induced by systemic hypertentsion. Pulmonary hypertension also causes heart disease and is referred to as right sided hypertensive heart disease or corpulmonale.
  • 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 : mani
    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.
  • Look After Your Feet Or It Will Be A Long Painful Experience!  By : stephenstewart
    I remember the first day of training well. It had been an interesting experience (read euphemism for painful) as I limped into the shower afterwards. My feet were killing me, it was that simple.
  • 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 :
    The overwhelming preponderance of tuberfulous infections affect the lungs and begin there. Pulmonary involvement is still the major cause of tuberculosis morbidity and mortality. The prevention and control of these pulmonary infections account for tuberculosis being a relatively uncommon cause of death today in the United States. A further grim aspect of th eresurgence of tuberculosis is the emergence of highly drug-resistant strains.
  • Chronic gastritis (Including helicobacter infection)  By :
    Chronic gasstritis is defined as the presence of chronic mucosal inflammatory changes leading eventually to mucosal atrophy and epithelial metaplasia usually in the absence of erosions. The epithelial changes may become dysplastic and constitute a background for the development of carcinoma. Chronic gastritis is notable for distinct causal subgroups and for patterns of histologic alterations that vary in different parts of the world. 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. The inflammation may be accompanied by hemorrhage into the mucosa and in more severe circumstances by sloughing of the superficial mucosa. This severe erosive form of the disease is an important cause of acute gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Tumors of the Nose, sinuses, and Nasopharynx  By :
    Tumors in these locations are infrequent but include the entire category of mesenchymal and epithelial neoplasms. Brief mention may be made of somewhat distinctive types.
  • The Three Day Acne Cure  By : Food and Acne
    You are probably unaware that you can greatly reduce your acne in a few days by detoxing your own body. Your body only has a few ways to expel toxic waste and those are your lungs, kidney, bowels and your skin.
  • Malabsorption Syndromes  By :
    Malabsorption is characterized by suboptimal absorption of fats, fat-soluble and other vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, electrolytes and minerals and water. At the most basic level, it is the result of disturbance of at least one of the following normal digestive functions:
  • Lund Abscess  By :
    The term pulmonary abscess describes a local suppurative process within the lung characterized by necrosis of lung tissue. Oropharyngeal surgical procedures, sinobronchial infections, dental sepsis, and bronchiectasis play important roles in their development.
  • Lasik Eye Surgery .What you need to know first  By : wealthsuccess
    After Lasik eye surgery, life can become very different and quite often noticeablybetter. If you have been wearing contacts or eyeglasses for quite some time now, chances are you have considered or already looked into lasik eye surgery. If you have bad eyesight and you have worn eyeglasses or contact lenses all your life, then you might want to consider LASIK eye surgery.
  • Cirrhosis  By :
    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:
  • The Easiest Way To Break Your Addiction To Smokeless Tobacco  By : Alan B. Densky, CH
    The smokeless tobacco addiction is every bit as dangerous and devastating as an addiction to cigarettes - maybe even more so.
  • 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:
