HEALTHY PANCREAS, PROTECT PANCREATITIS
What is pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the pancreas.
The pancreas is an abdominal gland situated behind the stomach in the upper abdomen.
The main function of the pancreas is to secrete hormones and enzymes that help with digestion and regulate blood sugar (glucose) metabolism.
The digestive enzymes are released via the pancreatic duct into the small intestine where they are activated to help break down fats and proteins.
The digestive hormones (insulin and glucagon) produced by the pancreas are released into the blood stream where they help regulate blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is categorized as being either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis generally develops suddenly, and it is usually a short-term (a few days to weeks) illness that typically resolves with appropriate medical management.
Chronic pancreatitis, which typically develops after multiple episodes of acute pancreatitis, is a long-term condition that can last for months or even several years.
Pancreatitis is a condition that may be mild and self-limiting, though it can also lead to severe complications that can be life-threatening. The acute form of pancreatitis, in its most severe form, can have deleterious effects on many other body organs, including the lungs and kidneys.
What are the signs and symptoms of pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis causes upper abdominal pain which can range from mild to severe.
The pain may come on suddenly or it may develop gradually. Often, the pain will start or worsen after eating, which can also occur with gallbladder or ulcer pain. Abdominal pain tends to be the hallmark of acute pancreatitis. People with acute pancreatitis usually feel very ill.
Signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis may include:
Abdominal pain that may radiate to the back
Nausea and vomiting
Worsening pain after eating
Tenderness to touch of the abdomen
Fever and chills
Weakness and lethargy
In chronic pancreatitis, abdominal pain also can be present, but it is often not as severe, and some people may not have any pain at all.
Signs and symptoms of chronic pancreatitis may include:
Abdominal pain
Unintentional weight loss
Foul smelling, oily stool
What are causes of pancreatitis?
Normally, digestive enzymes released by the pancreas are not activated to break down fats and proteins until they reach the small intestine. However, when these digestive enzymes are activated while still in the pancreas, inflammation and local damage to the pancreas occurs leading to pancreatitis.
The causes of pancreatitis include:
Alcohol consumption
Gallstones
High triglyceride levels
Abdominal injury or surgery
Certain medications
Exposure to certain chemicals
Smoking
Family history of pancreatitis
Cystic fibrosis
Pancreatic cancer
Alcohol consumption and gallstones account for over 80% of all cases of pancreatitis
How is pancreatitis diagnosed?
There are a number of tests that alone, or in combination, will help establish the diagnosis of pancreatitis.
Blood tests
Amylase and/or lipase levels are typically elevated in cases of acute pancreatitis. These blood tests may not be elevated in cases of chronic pancreatitis. These are usually the first tests performed to establish the diagnosis of pancreatitis, as these results are generally readily and quickly available. Other blood tests may be ordered, for example:
Liver and kidney function tests
Tests for infection, and
Tests for Anemia.

we know why it is being delayed, we are waiting for election

am enjoying this

All politicians are the same, never trust them

Both Atiku and Buhari is not what this country need, if atiku finally enter, we will shout foul next four years. The youth that are to fight for their right are online fighting Buhari/Atiku war and Messi/Ronaldo debate. we need to take more responsibility

Nairaland is one the worst place to ask for financial aid because we are tribalistic and unserious
there are number of things to do, I think You have 2 options here
1) get a lawyer and fight it legally
2) since you are a salary earner, you can get loan from any online platform without colatteral and pay ur debt.
3) you can ask family and friends, family are the only ones that actually care to an extent.
4) Change that your username, it doesn't portray any good about you
it is not easy to get help from nairaland, most if us are broke too. all the best

this guys chop people money sha

some of the point listed here are not achievement even at local government level

this is where it will end

This country is turning into something else

Nels55:
Hi dear, don't really know what tribe you're from but i guess SW.. I think you should take time and think deeply about your nation.. Many countries have moved on , we are still far behind.. Enough of dirty politics that leads to destruction.. If you see a man that might change the fortunes of your nation why play the devil..


Listen to me, bad things happen every minute in your nation , people die cause of bad roads, poor health, poverty, all these are cause of bad governance..And don't think you're immune to these bad things..

this is one of the best reply I have read on nairaland. wise words#

Could Weight Loss Cure Type 2 Diabetes?

I got this mail this morning and I think is worth sharing because I have seen similar experience too, take time and read.
While doctors have known for years that weight loss can not only prevent diabetes but sometimes reverse it, recently Taylor has found new clues as to why.
Type 2 diabetes, he says, "is simply due to too much fat inside the liver and pancreas of people who happen to be susceptible to the fat-induced damage.'' Losing a substantial amount of weight can kill off that fat, often allowing the organs to work again, including a return to normal insulin production by the pancreas.
As a result of his research and his success stories, Taylor encourages other doctors to stop turning to diabetes medicines right away and more strongly encourage weight loss as the first step for their patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. And the sooner, the better, he says. While Maher reversed his diabetes decades later, that's not typical, Taylor says. The ideal management, he says, is to start serious weight loss efforts right away.
"As you would expect, people have a different length of window when they remain reversible," Taylor says. "For some, even 3 years is too late."
Behind the Weight Loss Advice
In an earlier study, Taylor's team assigned 149 patients to the strict weight loss program and another 149 to usual care such as treatment with medications. Most were diagnosed within the previous 6 years before the start of the study.
After a year, only 4% of the usual care patients had remission of the diabetes, but 46% of those on the weight loss program did. The more they lost, the higher the chances of reversal. While 7% of patients who lost less than 11 pounds went into remission, 86% of those who lost 33 pounds or more did, Taylor found.
In general, “remission” in diabetes means a person’s blood sugar levels remain normal. While some refer to this as a “cure,” diabetes is not a “one and done,” disease. That is, it could always return if the patient regains the weight or returns to unhealthy habits. In 2009, a group of diabetes experts wrote that “remission” is a term used when a person has normal blood sugar levels for one year without therapy or surgery.
In the latest study, Taylor took a closer look at some of those patients who reverse, and ''we have a clear physiological handle on what is happening," he says.
When the weight loss lessens the liver and pancreas fat, the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas come to life again. "Almost everyone will return to normal if they lose a substantial amount of weight," Taylor says. "This is a simple disease." What's yet to be figured out, he says, is why the weight loss doesn't lead to a reversal in everyone.
Second Opinions
The new research ties in with recent thinking among experts about what happens when type 2 diabetes develops, says Domenico Accili, MD, chief of endocrinology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. "We have been talking for some time, that in diabetes, primarily type 2, the insulin-producing [beta] cell is not dead but simply inactive," he says. "If you put patients with diabetes on a diet, you can do marvels with their beta cells."
Taylor's research, and that of others, suggest that lifestyle modification, such as weight loss and exercise, may have a larger impact on diabetes than experts had thought, Accili says.
Prompt weight loss as soon as possible after the diagnosis can definitely turn people around, agrees Matthew Freeby, MD, an endocrinologist and director of the Gonda Diabetes Centers at UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica and Westwood, CA. He agrees with Taylor's advice.
He emphasizes lifestyle changes and weight loss as a first step. "We give them a 3-month trial of diet and lifestyle [modification] before starting medications," he says. "A lot of times, for many patients newly diagnosed, we will see the sugars melt back into the normal range" after the weight loss and other changes. He has seen it happen after a weight loss of 7% to 10% of their starting weight.
While that's great news, Freeby warns that the effort is never done: "Once someone rises that high, they are always at risk for their sugars rising again." Weight maintenance becomes critically important, he says.
Maher says the effort to maintain the weight loss is constant and tremendous, but worth it. "I keep to a very, very low-carb diet," he says. "No pasta, bread, rice or potatoes.

WILL EVERY MAN HAVE ENLARGE PROSTATE?
WHAT CAN YOU DO AS A YOUNG MAN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENLARGED PROSTATE?

THESE ARE MOST ASKED QUESTIONS I RECEIVED AND I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT IT. VISIT www.bestliving.com.ng to learn about health tips

The liver is an important organ in the body. It functions in the production of protein, clotting and in glucose, cholesterol and iron metabolism. The liver can be affected many disease such as Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E, Epstein Barr Virus, Cirrhosis and Hemochromatosis. These diseases are cause by taking some medication, drug abuse and even excessive drinking. These simple tips will help you to keep your liver clean Healthy.
Drink Coffee
People who drink a few cups of coffee a day may be less likely to get liver diseases including cancer and scarring (fibrosis, cirrhosis). It might even slow those conditions in some people who have them. Filtered, instant, and espresso all seem to work. Still, helpful as coffee may be, it can’t take the place of a balanced diet, a healthy weight, plenty of water, and regular exercise for a healthy liver.
Don’t Overdo Acetaminophen
It’s in more than 600 meds, including many cold and flu drugs. Most adults shouldn’t get more than 4,000 milligrams per day. More could hurt your liver. Try not to take more than one product with acetaminophen per day, and never take more than what the package instructions recommend.
Practice Safe Sex
You want to protect yourself and your partner from conditions that can spread through sex, including many that could eventually hurt your liver. One, hepatitis C, infects it directly and can do serious harm over time. Most people don’t notice they have it until many years later when much of the damage has been done. Your doctor can test to see if you have it.
Take Your Meds Right
Though acetaminophen is the most common medication that can harm your liver, other meds can do that, too -- especially if you don’t take them as directed. It may also depend on your genes, other prescriptions, and your food. Speak to your doctor if you’re tired, nauseous, or itchy or you notice yellowish skin or eyes (jaundice) after you start a new medicine. Statins for high cholesterol and certain antibiotics (amoxicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin) are some examples.
Check on Your Medication and Supplements
They cause almost a quarter of all liver damage. Herbs like borage, comfrey, groomwell, and coltsfoot have “pyrrolizidine alkaloids” that can gum up the tiny blood vessels inside the organ, either over time or all at once (if you take a lot). Other herbs like Atractylis gummifera, Camellia sinensis, celandine, chaparral, germander, and pennyroyal oil (used in tea) can also cause liver problems.
Be Careful with Herbal Liver Remedies
Common liver remedies like milk thistle, turmeric, and astragalus don't have much research behind them. Colloidal silver, sometimes used (with little scientific support) for hepatitis C, can cause irreversible side effects like turning your skin blue. Tell your doctor about all pills, herbs, and supplements you take. First, to check on the safety of each item, but also because of how they might interact with each other. Always contact your doctor or health specialist
Don’t Drink Too Much
When you drink, your liver stops doing other things so it can break down the alcohol and remove it from your blood. If you overdo it -- more than a drink a day for women, two a day for men -- it’s really hard on the organ and could hurt it. Over time, this often leads to “fatty liver,” an early sign of disease. It also might cause bad bacteria to grow in your gut that can travel to your liver and cause damage.
Fruits and Vegetables
That means fruits and vegetables from all the colors of the rainbow, which helps ensure you get all the nutrients and fiber you need. Avoid refined carbs like doughnuts and white bread in favor of whole-grain rice, breads, and cereals. A bit of meat, dairy, and fat can also help. But not too much, and look for “good” (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated) fats from seeds, nuts, fish, and vegetable oils.
Keep a Healthy Body Weight
That means working to keep a body mass index (BMI) of between 18 and 25. There are online tools to help you figure out your number. Exercise and a well-balanced diet are the best way to help maintain a good-for-you weight and lower your chances of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Your doctor can help you set a weight goal that will help keep your whole body well over the long term.
Wash Your Hands
It’s a simple, easy way to keep germs away that could infect your liver. Just a little soap and warm water will do. It’s especially important right before you prepare food and right after you change a diaper or go to the bathroom. You can spread hepatitis A in particular when you touch food or water with contaminated hands.
Exercise Regularly
It can help keep your BMI at the right level, which could protect against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. But even if your BMI doesn’t change, exercise is likely to help. Why? Because it improves how your insulin works and burns triglycerides, a type of fat in your blood.
Avoid Toxins
These might be chemicals in cleaning products, spray cans, insecticides, and other household items. They could hurt cells in your liver if you touch, absorb, or breathe in too much of them. You can protect yourself if you wear a mask and goggles and open the windows when you use them.
Watch Out for Needle Risks
If you or someone you know has ever injected illegal drugs, you should get tested for hepatitis C, which can spread through blood. The same is true if you’ve had an accidental needle stick. A blood test can let you know if you’ve ever had the hepatitis C virus.
Check for Liver Damage
It’s especially important for your doctor to do this if you drink heavily or have a family history of liver disease. Early treatment helps, and you might not have symptoms at first. You should also get tested if you’re more likely to have hepatitis C. This includes anyone who:
Had a blood transfusion before 1992
Ever used illegal drugs
Is on dialysis
Has HIV
Was stuck by an infected needle
Got a tattoo from an unregulated place
Was born between 1945 and 1965
Get Vaccinated
You can get it for hepatitis A and hepatitis B, but not for hepatitis C. A lot of kids have been vaccinated, but many adults haven’t. Talk to your doctor about whether you need it. It might be especially important if your immune system is weak or your liver already shows some damage.
