CHICKENPOX

Hi everyone...
Its been a week since my last update...
This time, i wanna share some information about chickenpox.
So, what is chickenpox ?
What cause this disease and how to overcome it?

I'm so excited to share this topic coz i had one a few months back.
First of all, chickenpox is a viral infection of varicella-zoster sp.
This disease is very popular in the entire world since a long time ago.
Chickenpox often occur at children below the age of 10 but there is no exception for adult as it may happen sometime. Children whose mothers have had chickenpox or have received the chickenpox vaccine are not very likely to catch it before they are 1 year old.

Chickenpox can be separated easily trough coughs, sneezes and also by touching the fluid of the blister.
That explain the reason why people who got infected by this virus have to quarantine himself/herself from the public.

Now we will proceed to the symptoms.

# HEADACHE
# EASILY EXHAUSTED
# FEVER
# DEVELOPMENT OF EXTREMELY ITCHY BLISTERS

Precautions:

# AVOID SCRATCHING THE BLISTERS  AS THEY WILL LEAVE SCARS.
# KEEP YOUR FINGERNAILS SHORT
# WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES
# AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY
# TAKE WARM BATHS
*SOME PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT THEY MUST NOT TAKE ANY BATH DURING THIS PERIOD BUT IN MEDICAL VIEW, I SUGGEST INFECTED PEOPLE TO TAKE BATHS TO SUSTAIN THEIR PERSONAL HYGIENE.

There are lots of medicine, either tablet and cream-type used for the treatment but it must first be described by the doctor. Don't use medicine without any further details regarding the product as it may be very harmful to certain disease if it is not properly taken.

Thats all for this time. I hope it benefit us. As usual, any question can be asked here. Thanks for your time. 

DIABETES MELLITUS

RITE, NOW WE JUMP STRAIGHT AWAY TO ANOTHER FAMOUS PROBLEM IN THE WORLD OF MEDICAL; DIABETES MELLITUS (DM).

FIRST OF ALL, WE MUST KNOW A FEW IMPORTANT COMPONENTS THAT ARE RELATED WITH DM. THEY ARE:

-INSULIN
-GLUCOSE
-PANCREAS

PS: I TRY TO GIVE THE INFORMATION IN THE SIMPLEST FORM, SO ANY QUESTION THAT NEED FURTHER ELABORATION CAN BE ASKED LATER.

SO, DM IS A GLUCOSE RELATED DISEASE. YET,INSULIN IS A HORMONE PRODUCED BY BETA CELL ISLET OF LANGERHAND AT THE TAIL OF PANCREAS. INSULIN ACT ON HIGH LEVEL OF GLUCOSE IN THE BODY. NOW, YOU CAN RELATE ALL THOSE 3 COMPONENTS ALREADY.

THE PROBLEM IS HERE,..

DM OCCUR DUE TO 2 POSSIBLE REASONS,
-LOW PRODUCTION OF INSULIN OR,
-LOW SENSITIVITY OF OUR OWN TISSUE TO INSULIN.

SYMPTOMS:
-POLYURIA (INCREASED URINATION)
-POLYDIPSIA (INCREASED FLUID INTAKE)
-POLYPHAGIA (INCREASED FOOD INTAKE)
-WEIGHT LOSS
-DELAYED WOUND HEALING

TREATMENT:
-INTAKE OF INSULIN
-LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION.

YET, ONCE AGAIN WE CAN NOTICE THAT LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION CAN BE A GREAT TREATMENT FOR SUCH DISEASES. ITS VERY SIMPLE. STAY HEALTHY, HAVE A GOOD DIET AND EXERCISE AS RECOMMENDED. FOR PATIENTS OF DM, IT IS A COMPULSORY TO SUSTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AS DM CAN BE WORST IF IT IS NOT WELL MANAGED. THOSE WHO HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF DM MUST ALSO TAKE THE SAME STEP AS THEY HAVE A VERY HIGH CHANCE TO HAVE THIS DISEASE.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

ABOUT HEART

SO, WE BEGIN WITH THE MOST FAMOUS 'KILLER' IN THE WORLD ; HEART ATTACK OR ALSO KNOWN AS MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

FIRSTLY, WE HAVE TO KNOW SOME IMPORTANT PART OF HEART.
THE LABELLED DIAGRAM MAY HELP A LITTLE AND PLEASE NOTICE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT CORONARY ARTERIES DOWN THERE. THEY ARE THE HIGHLIGHT COMPONENTS IN THIS TOPIC..

   MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MI) OCCUR DUE TO LACK SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE HEART'S MUSCLE WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PUMPING ACTION OF THE ORGAN.

   AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE CORONARY ARTERIES ARE THE MAIN ARTERIAL SUPPLY TO THE HEART. SO,YOU GOT THE POINT ALREADY RIGHT? YES,THESE ARTERIES ARE THE MAIN SITE FOR DEFECTS TO TAKE PLACE THUS LEADING TO MI.

MOST HEART ATTACKS ARE CAUSED BY A BLOOD CLOT THAT BLOCKS ONE OF THE CORONARY ARTERIES. IF THE BOOD FLOW IS BLOCKED, THE HEART IS STARVED OF OXYGEN AND HEART CELLS DIE. BESIDES, A HARD SUBSTANCE CALLED PLAQUE CAN BUILD UP IN THE WALLS OF THE CORONARY ARTERIES. THIS PLAQUE IS MADE UP OF CHOLESTEROL AND OTHER CELLS. A HEART 

ATTACK CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF PLAQYE BUILDUP.

HOW TO PREVENT IT?

FOLLOWING A HEALTHY DIET IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF A HEART HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. A HEALTHY DIET INCLUDES A VARIETY OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND WHOLE GRAINS. IT ALSO INCLUDES LEAN MEATS, POULTRY, FISH, BEANS AND FAT-FREE OR LOW-FAT MILK OR MILK PRODUCTS. A HEALTHY DIET IS LOW IN SATURATED FAT, TRANS FAT, CHOLESTEROL, SODIUM (SALT) AND ADDED SUGARS.

IF YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE, WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO CREATE A REASONABLE WEIGHT-LOSS PLAN THAT INVOLVES DIET AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. CONTROLLING YOUR WEIGHT HELPS YOU CONTROL RISK FACTORS FOR HEART ATTACK. BE AS PHYSICAL ACTIVE AS YOU CAN. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN IMPROVE YOUR FITNESS LEVEL AND YOUR HEALTH.

IF YOU SMOKE, QUIT. SMOKING CAN RAISE YOUR RISK OF HEART ATTACK. TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT PROGRAMS AND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU 

QUIT. ALSO, TRY TO AVOID SECONDHAND SMOKE.

SO, ANY DOUBT?

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD OR ASK, PLEASE DO IT HERE STRAIGHT AWAY.

SEE YOU SOON...HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE....
