SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS. Tuberculosis can affect anyone and anywhere. It is estimated that approximately 1/3 of the world's population has been infected by mycobacterium tuberculosis. Currently, tuberculosis is the third largest cause of death after cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease. Tuberculosis is a disease of the biggest causes of death in the group of infectious diseases. Until now, tuberculosis remains a global health problem and foremost. How Tuberculosis is contracted Tuberculosis is an infectious disease cause by mycobacterium tuberculosis germ. Tuberculosis (TB) is transmitted through the air (through the spark sputum tuberculosis patients). When people with TB cough, sneeze, talk or spit, they sprinkle the tuberculosis bacteria into the air. A person can be exposed by inhaling the bacteria,a small number of tuberculosis germs can infect someone. In children the source of infection is generally derived from adult patients with TB.Patients with tuberculosis with status of positive acid-fastbacilli can infect at least 10 to 15 people every year. These bacteria when frequently entered and accumulated in the lungs, will develop well into a lot and can be spread through blood vessels or lymph nodes. Therefore, infection of TB can infect virtually all body organs like the lungs, brain, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, bone, lymph nodes, and others. The Organs often infected with tuberculosis bacteria is the lungs. Someone who is infected with TB germs do not necessarily become ill. Tuberculosis germs can become inactive (dormant) for many years to form a cell wall in the form of a thick layer of wax. When a person's immune system declines, likely contracted the illness tuberculosis becomes greater. Tuberculosis symptoms The main symptoms of patients with tuberculosis are coughing up phlegm for 2 to 3 weeks or more. Cough followed by additional symptoms of phlegm mixed with blood, coughing up blood, shortness of breath, body weakness, decreased appetite, weight loss, malaise, night sweats without physical activity, fever more than 1 month. These symptoms can also be found in lung diseases other than tuberculosis, such as bronchitis, asthma, lung cancer and others. How to Tuberculosis Test In children, tuberculin test is most useful examination to show whether the child is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis. But it is often done with Monteux test. Monteux test injection site is generally on the upper half left forearm. It is injected into the skin and in wait for 48 ~ 72 hours in measuring the diameter of the swelling that occurs. Treatment of tuberculosis Treatment of tuberculosis lasts long(6-9 months) even more than that. Patients with tuberculosis can be cured by taking drugs completely and regularly and to improve the immune system with good nutrition and regular exercise.

Health / Re: I Need Weight Loss Drugs by obeyyourhealth(m): 3:24am On Aug 27, 2013 |
WAYS TO SHED OFF 10 POUNDS IN A WEEK. Weight is an issue that almost everyone struggles with. Save for the genetically gifted members of the population that can eat what they want and not exercise and yet still stay in shape, everyone else has to practice proper care to maintain a relatively desired shape of their body. The vain nature of people has probably been the main cause for why so many people are so caught up in what the scale says. In a society that greatly values the attractive qualities of people, being out of shape can make one an object of ridicule and disinterest. As unpleasant a reality as it is that superficial qualities are improperly valued, such is the case. It is almost an inevitable aspect of society. The value people put on their weight of course goes beyond just the superficial fare. It is also a measure of great health to be in the proper range of weight for one's body type. Being in shape not only makes one more attractive but it also enables them to be more active and to partake in many more endeavors. That is the gift of self- discipline but not many have the patience for it. A week is a short time to accomplish anything of real significance. Seven days are after all not long at all, especially in this new fast paced world. How is one then expected to accomplish something significant such as to lose ten pounds in such a brief period of time. The key then lies in the two most effective ways of losing weight no matter how long a period of time allotted. Those are of course to exercise and to maintain a proper diet. Unless one plans on spending an entire week in the gym, it seems to be too short of a time period for one to exercise and still expect a severe dent in their weight figure. Exercise can still help though. It is always wise to spend an amount of time staying active and moving those muscles. At the very least exercising can keep one busy and take their minds off food which is another key element if one is to lose 10 pounds in a week. The diet is a key element if one wishes to drop those ten pounds quickly. The first step is with breakfast and the food for this time of day includes 2 eggs without salt. Excluding the salt prevents water retention. Lunch will entail the consumption of leaner proteins such as turkey. Turkey served with some vegetables can be a filling option for those looking to drop pounds. This can also work as a dinner option. The essence of the diet is to limit carbohydrates and consuming lean proteins so that one can feel full without eating as much. It is also recommended to avoid sweet foods during this time and to also drink lots of water. Losing 10 pounds in a week may seem like a very daunting proposition, but it is achievable. The key lies in exercise, a low carbohydrate diet and the right amount of discipline to achieve this goal.

Health / Re: How To Cure Infertility Naturally by obeyyourhealth(m): 3:06am On Aug 27, 2013 |
CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN. When you're hoping for a positive result on a home pregnancy test, it can be a difficult moment to receive a negative result. With television shows that highlight the lives of teens who became pregnant so easily without even trying, and magazine covers highlighting the newest pregnancy for a mother who already has a dozen or more children, you might think getting pregnant is much easier than it actually is. While your negative pregnancy test might be nothing more than a sign you didn't plan your intercourse accordingly this month, it may be an indication that either you or your partner may be suffering from different causes of infertility. Here are some causes of infertility in both men and women: Male Infertility Many people assume that infertility is a female problem. They might immediately wonder if the woman is the one to blame when a couple is not having any luck becoming pregnant. Traditionally, doctors believe that younger couples who have been trying for a year or more to get pregnant without any luck are infertile. For couples older than 35, doctors begin to strongly consider infertility after six months of trying to conceive with no luck. Still, most people believe that it's the woman's Fault. This is simply not true. In fact, approximately half of infertility problems in the U.S. are caused by the male partner in the relationship. Male infertility is caused by a number of factors. Essentially, men must be able to produce healthy sperm, enough sperm, and correctly shaped sperm to impregnate a woman. If he cannot do one or more of those things, he likely suffers from infertility. Health issues are the leading causes of infertility in men. Men who suffer from infection, varicocele, take certain medications, or have a hormone imbalance may suffer from infertility as these are all medical causes of the problem. Additionally, environmental factors can affect male fertility. Exposure to heavy metals, X-rays, radiation, chemicals, and the overexposure to heat can cause male infertility. Men's lifestyle choices can also cause infertility. Drug and alcohol use, smoking, weight, stress, and even too much bicycling can cause males to suffer from fertility issues. Men who do suffer from infertility might not recognize any signs or symptoms right away. Aside from his partner's inability to become pregnant, other signs of male infertility include ejaculation issues, pain or swelling in the testicles, low sperm count, and a sudden inability to grow hair on the face or body are all signs or causes of infertility in men. However, a sign such as low sperm count is not one that a man will notice without medical assistance, which is one of the main reasons why men often do not realize that they might be the reason behind a woman's inability to get pregnant. Female Infertility Since the invention of IVF and other fertility treatments, women who suffer from infertility issues have more options than ever before when it comes to starting a family. Infertility on the part of a woman no longer has to mean that she cannot have a child of her own, even if she cannot carry that child. In order for you to become pregnant, you need to ovulate, have sex, and receive sperm to fertilize your eggs. Ovulation occurs when your body releases an egg into your fallopian tubes. When it is fertilized, it moves into your uterus and you become pregnant. The causes of infertility can vary. Most commonly, women who are infertile suffer from ovulation disorders, damaged fallopian tubes, cervical blockage, and a number of other health issues that can lead to infertility. Women who are not fertile often do not realize they cannot conceive a child until they fail to become pregnant after trying repeatedly. Furthermore, some women who suffer from infertility have no medical explanation for their inability to conceive and will never know why they could not have a baby. Much like male fertility issues, it's not until a woman repeatedly fails to become pregnant that she begins to consider she might have issues with infertility. Since it is not something you can see or that you even feel, it might take a while to find out that infertility is something you have to live with. While some women may know they are infertile after struggles with cancer, a specific surgery, or another condition, most simply do not know until they see their doctor regarding the inability to conceive. The only other sign that a woman might suffer from infertility is her menstrual cycle. The typical menstrual cycle lasts 28 days from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period. However, it is not uncommon for many women to have a shorter or longer cycle. This does not indicate female infertility, but women whose cycles are shorter than three weeks or longer than five weeks could suffer from infertility. This is a sign that you should consult with your doctor for further testing. Treating infertility issues in both men and women is possible with the help of a medical professional. While not all infertility issues are curable or even treatable, many couples who face infertility are able to go on and conceive a child of their own after one of the many forms of fertility treatment available today. For those who cannot conceive even after fertility treatments, other options are available.

Health / Re: He Wants To Recorver From The Side Effect Of Over-mastubation by obeyyourhealth(m): 2:55am On Aug 27, 2013 |
NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MASTURBATION. It is a hotly debated question among many today, "Can over masturbation be harmful to me in any way, and at what level does masturbation become over masturbation?" This question has been asked by many thousands of people before now and the results seem to be fairly widely held as being true for the majority of people. Even though we are taught various different aspects of masturbating throughout our lives, whether it be from our parents, our schoolyard friends or even our teachers and other adults in authority, generally the information that is received is misinformation, or in a lot of the cases, is incomplete information. It is now a scientifically proven point that masturbation in general, meaning, not excessive or deviated from basic masturbation practice, that there are no harmful physical effects to the body. This of course, will depend upon the particular case of masturbation. Although masturbation performed in moderation will have no harmful physical effects on our bodies, over masturbation or prolonged masturbation using bad technique, can have effects upon us. For this reason it is perhaps important here to loosely define masturbation and over masturbation. The difference between the two levels of masturbation can vary greatly from person to person, and maybe the most prominent sign of over masturbation is, pain or other ill effects in the genital or even muscular regions of the body. Friction sores are a dead giveaway that over masturbation is occurring. In loose terms, over masturbation occurs when, there is not enough time between masturbation periods for your genital area to repair any wear and tear that might be taking place. As masturbation involves friction and pressure, there is always a period of rest and recuperation required after any masturbatory or sexual action. Over masturbation occurs, simply when this period of rejuvenation is cut short and not being able to take its course properly. There are many common myths about what physical effects can occur after masturbation, a lot of which are commonly passed around at school amongst students who really don't know any better. Some of these include the statements that "Masturbation causes blindness, hair to grow on one's palms, impotence to occur in later life, leads to mental illness, can reduce your sexual appetite in later life, and even, that masturbation can have negative effects on semen production and quality". All of these common myths are just that, myths, and have been proven by science to be untrue, unless specific rare circumstances occur, but which are not directly connected to masturbating, but are the effects of some other disease or illness. In fact, such famous research scientists as those who work for Masters and Johnson, have been hard at work trying to answer this very question about the effects of masturbation. So far their findings indicate as stated above, that masturbation in moderation has no immediate medical effects on thebody and can in fact in some cases have beneficial effects on the body. Despite the evidence found by Masters and Johnson, however, there is one area that is not touched upon and that should be seriously considered when learning about masturbation, and especially when teaching or giving advice on the issue. This effect is more of a long term effect, brought about by the learning of bad or incorrect techniques, that then develop into real problems in later life. Lets take a look at an example of this effect as it would play out in the case of masturbation, and how it can harm us in later life. It is common for most people to start exploring masturbation during the teen years of our development, meaning that in most cases we are at school when we start to masturbate. Being at such a young age, it is very rare for people to feel comfortable talking about their experiences and discussing techniques and problems as such. This often means that the technique that we develop when we are teenagers is the technique we use for many years. Now, being a teenager, and performing masturbation, is usually an act that is done for one simple purpose, being the pursuit of pleasure, the desire to feel climax from ejaculation. For this reason, it is very common for teenagers to masturbate as fast as they can to get to that climax feeling as fast as possible, both for the feeling of pleasure, and often, also to get the act performed without being caught by anyone. So over the years we go on masturbating as fast as possible and as such, do not realize that we are teaching our bodies to climax as quickly as possible. This is one of the major factors towards male sexual problems in recent times, and more specifically, Premature Ejaculation. So in conclusion, No, there are no immediate harmful effects of masturbation, as long as it is performed in moderation with enough healing time between acts, and that we are using healthy techniques that will help us to maintain a strong healthy libido and endurance level in later years of our life.

2 TYPES OF ABORTION. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, "an abortion is the procedure of termination of pregnancy and expulsion of a fetus or an embryo that is incapable of survival. Abortion is known to be any of these procedures that results in the termination and expulsion. Although this seems to be very insufficient statement for abortion but if we think morally, legally or politically then this topic is quite volatile. Definition of abortion also includes the terms such as miscarriage or spontaneous abortion along with the normal induced abortion. When the body of a women rejects the fetus or embryo due to any reason, it is known as spontaneous abortion. Mother does not have any control over this accidental process. Reason behind spontaneous abortion depends on the factor when does miscarriage occurs. In most of the cases, spontaneous abortion happens due to abnormalities of an embryo in the first two weeks of pregnancy. It there is a problem in the mothers body due to emotional difficulties, uterine or cervical irregularities, endocrine system disease, diabetes mellitus or hypothyroidism; then spontaneous abortion may occur in the second or third trimesters. In some cases,embryo is not recognized by the immune system of the mother and expels it considering it to be a foreign tissue. The percentage of miscarriage is only found to be in 20% of the cases. Induced abortion is known as the most common definition of abortion. It is done with the will of the woman who wants abortion. Although there may be multitude of reasons for induced abortion but mainly it is of two types. Therapeutic abortion is not considered to be the primary definition of abortion but is very prominent in such cases and is conducted for various medical reasons. Usually such type of therapeutic abortion is underdone when the doctor diagnose that pregnancy or birth could result in danger to the life of the patient. This may be done to avoid risk for physical or mental health. Elective abortion is an abortion which is conducted on a woman due to her own personal reasons. Many reasons may be behind the decision of a woman such as, religious concerns, cultural concerns, immaturity and financial problems. Some women choose elective abortion if they are not married or are young and do not want to disclose this to their family. Pregnancy is also terminated by victims of sexual abuse or assault. Surgical and chemical are the two basic types of induced abortion procedures. Stage of gestation is the factor to decide the surgical procedure. Hysterotomy, Intact Dilation and Extraction, Dilation and Evacuation, Dilation and Curettage, Electric Vacuum Aspiration and Manual Vacuum Aspiration are the basic procedures for surgical abortion. Due to the administration of abortifacient drugs Chemical abortions are done by early induction of labor.

This is. a sign that you should consult with your doctor for further testing. Treating infertility issues in both men and women is possible with the help of a medical professional. While not all infertility issues are curable or even treatable, many couples who face infertility are able to go on and conceive a child of their own after one of the many forms of fertility treatment available today. For those who cannot conceive even after fertility treatments,otheroptions are available.
