Haemorrhoids ( popularly known as piles)

Piles are swellings that develop from three pads or cushions of tissue that line the anal canal or back passage.


What are they?
The tissue of the anus is rich in blood vessels. If these become dilated and swollen, they may project into the anal canal or out of the back passage (a prolapse) to form visible swellings. Some people describe them as varicose veins of the anus.

Piles are incredibly common - at least 50 per cent of people suffer with them at some time.


Causes

Piles tend to be caused by factors that cause the blood vessels to swell, including anything that increases pressure inside the abdomen such as constipation, pregnancy and being overweight.


Symptoms

Piles may cause no symptoms, especially if they're small, and many people don't realise they have them. However, they can also cause a range of problems:

* A swelling protruding from the anus. Piles may be felt as small soft lumps at the opening of the back passage, sometimes compared to a 'bunch of grapes'. They're usually soft and fleshy but may become hard if thrombosis occurs. The piles may only appear after straining on the toilet.
* Bleeding from the back passage. The mucosa that covers the piles is quite delicate and if it is damaged, for example as you open your bowels, there may be bleeding, which is usually seen as small amounts of bright red blood on the toilet paper or on the surface of the motions. Occasionally, piles cause severe bleeding.
* Mucus discharge.
* Itching. Piles can cause intense itching of the skin around the back passage.


Piles can be painful, but this is uncommon. Acute pain and the appearance of a hard lump protruding from the anus can signal thrombosis of the haemorrhoid.


Treatment

The treatment of piles depends on the severity of symptoms. Firstly, it's important to take steps to avoid aggravating factors such as constipation or being overweight. Keeping your bowel motions soft and regular will also help to avoid straining.

* Make sure you eat plenty of fibre to provide bulk in your diet by including lots of bread, vegetables, cereal and nuts.
* Consider fibre supplements.
* Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water and fruit juice.
* Keep to a regular bowel habit and go to the toilet when you feel the need to - don't try to hold it in.
* Get plenty of exercise - this helps keeps the bowels regular.
* Avoid causes of constipation, such as painkillers that contain codeine.


These measures may be all that's needed to allow small haemorrhoids to settle. More persistent piles may need specific treatments.

Pain-relieving creams and ointments, which may contain an anaesthetic, can help soothe the discomfort of piles and allow you to open your bowels more easily. If piles become thrombosed this can be acutely painful. Cold packs and strong pain relief may be needed.

Haemorrhoid facts

* Piles are common and usually painless
* There is no link between piles and bowel cancer, although your doctor may take the opportunity to check for bowel cancer while examining your piles
* One of the most effective ways to prevent piles is to avoid constipation


Surgery may be necessary to treat persistent or very painful piles. Many different techniques are used including injecting the piles with a chemical to make them scar and shrink, putting a tight band around the pile until it scars and drops off (ligation), or freezing or cutting them off.

Another operation which is often done to help piles is to gently stretch the anus (while the person is under anaesthetic) as there may be overactivity of the internal anal sphincter (a muscly control valve).

Recent research has looked at injections of botulinum toxin or creams containing nitroglycerine ointment to relax the muscle sphincter.

Haemorrhoidectomy, or surgical removal of the piles, is necessary when clots repeatedly form, ligation fails to work or there is persistent bleeding. Haemorrhoidectomy is usually done under general anaesthetic in hospital. There is a small risk of anal stricture (a scarred narrowing of the anal canal) and injury to the sphincter.

Microbiologists study microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae and protozoa. They focus on their ecology, their survival strategies, how they affect us and how we can exploit them. Microbes affect every aspect of life on earth and, consequently, microbiologists work in a wide variety of settings, although the majority of work is laboratory-based.

Microbiologists work with pure cultures. They are concerned with:

* observing, identifying and monitoring microbes;
* developing new techniques, products and processes;
* quality control and identifying contamination.

Areas of specialism include: basic research; medicine; healthcare; food; industry, such as pharmaceuticals, toiletries and biotechnology; agriculture; and the environment.
Typical work activities

Typical work activities include:

* monitoring and assessing samples from a range of sources;
* using a variety of identification methods to test samples;
* tracking the development of specific micro-organisms in the environment;
* working with specialist computer software to undertake research;
* developing and planning methods to prevent the spread of disease;
* tracing, monitoring and eliminating infections;
* developing products, such as enzymes, vitamins, hormones, antibiotics and antimicrobials;
* planning, implementing and evaluating new products in clinical trials;
* developing and registering new medicines, vaccines, diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical products;
* growing specific microbe cultures, e.g. those used in the food and beverage industry or in agriculture;
* managing and overseeing laboratory work.

Microbiologists may also undertake activities in the office, and elsewhere, depending on the field in which they work, which may include:

* planning and organising resources and activities;
* collecting samples from different types of sites, such as agricultural areas;
* following regular sampling schedules within a specific environment;
* checking food and drink manufacturing processes for signs of contamination;
* providing information and advice to colleagues and external bodies;
* maintaining accurate and up-to-date records;
* writing up research findings and producing reports;
* keeping up with new research, and attending conferences and other events;
* liaising with colleagues from non-scientific departments.

The vaccine hasn't yet been tested and cannot be used in humans yet. It was made in cells, rather than grown in eggs as is usually the case with vaccines, the company said.

But because vaccines grown in cells account for less than 5 percent of the world's flu vaccine capacity, Novartis' announcement is unlikely to provide a major boost to the world's pandemic vaccine supply.

The announcement comes a day after WHO declared swine flu, also known as A(H1N1), a pandemic. The move indicates that a global outbreak is under way. WHO says drugmakers will likely have vaccines approved and ready for sale after September.

Novartis said it would use the first batch of vaccine for laboratory testing. It may also be tested in humans, the company said.

The vaccine was produced at a Novartis plant in Marburg, Germany. Novartis said the facility could potentially produce millions of doses of vaccine a week.

A second plant is being built in Holly Springs, North Carolina, the company said.

Novartis said more than 30 governments have requested vaccine supplies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, which placed a $289 million order in May.

yjay:
1st time, 4th time wat difference does it make? i'm certain that even if shes been to ur place 50tiimes u ll still be singing the same song!!!!

the issue here is that some women believe that just because ur dating them, then every of their needs becomes your responsibility even when they can do this things for themselves

axeman85:
@ topeorekoy

lol it doesnt matter if she works or not, and as you said this is the first time so her asking you for money for transport fare doesnt mean she will always and keep asking, so you dont have to base your decision or judge her at the first slight of her asking you for transprt fare. and it also doesnt mean you will have to be buying sanitary towels for her. as u said she is working. lol personally i dont think its an issue unless you are making it one, which you are.

your really not seeing the signs right?
i was brought up a gentleman & believe in taking care of my woman but that doesnt make me stupid

remember a girl i took out once t a fast food joint.
she ordered almost evrything on the menu & cldnt even eat half of it
had to leave there & never bothered calling cos of her greed
the sad part is she never even realised she did something wrong & keeps calling to know why i'm no more interested in her

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=285360.msg4047108#msg4047108 date=1245302379]you really can't compare the naija to the US
yes over here the girls will pay for their stuff but they're not required to be submissive or take rubbish from any man

in naija on the other hand, where the girl is required to be submissive and lick his fee, of course he should pay for her. nothing wrong with that

I definitely support the girl. did u see the other topic on wife cost of maintenance? pretty much goes to show how women are regarded as property with naija men.[/quote]am sure u dont ask for transport fare on your first visit to a guys place, i mean courtesy demands u curtail that impulse atleast on ur first visit & prolly the guy would have offered but even if he didnt, then u have an option of staying with him or leaving

OMO IBO:
i dont care house high classed or bold this girl is.
her feet and ass could be made of Frankincense and myrhh for all i care.

you cant come to my cabana for the first time and request for transport fare.
doesnt look good on you at all.

so i said

it could work depending on ur approach & motives
