Amnesia
Amnesia samer kareem 5,667 Views • 3 years ago

Amnesia refers to the loss of memories, such as facts, information and experiences. Though having no sense of who you are is a common plot device in movies and television, real-life amnesia generally doesn't cause a loss of self-identity. Instead, people with amnesia — also called amnestic syndrome — are usually lucid and know who they are, but may have trouble learning new information and forming new memories. Amnesia can be caused by damage to areas of the brain that are vital for memory processing. Unlike a temporary episode of memory loss (transient global amnesia), amnesia can be permanent. There's no specific treatment for amnesia, but techniques for enhancing memory and psychological support can help people with amnesia and their families cope.

Hand Transplant Surgical Procedure
Hand Transplant Surgical Procedure samer kareem 2,149 Views • 3 years ago

Not every person who is missing a hand or upper limb might be eligible to receive a transplant. Many people are able to live full lives and accomplish everything they desire with the aid of a prosthetic device and sometimes without the aid of anything. However, some people find prosthetics difficult to use and the lack of sensory “feedback” from their prosthesis can significantly limit their function. These persons may consider reconstructive transplantation. We find that those patients who have either bilateral (both hands) amputations or those who have had their dominant hand amputated are likely to receive the most benefit from the procedure. However, we will provide information to any interested person regardless of the nature of their amputation.

Situs Inversus samer kareem 7,220 Views • 3 years ago

Situs inversus is a condition in which the arrangement of the internal organs is a mirror image of normal anatomy. It can occur alone (isolated, with no other abnormalities or conditions) or it can occur as part of a syndrome with various other defects. Congenital heart defects are present in about 5-10% of affected people. The underlying cause and genetics of situs inversus are complex. Familial cases have been reported.[1][2]

Why Do We Sneeze? samer kareem 1,817 Views • 3 years ago

The long-standing answer has been that sneezing is a reflex. When irritants — such as germs, dust, pollen, animal dander, or pollutants, just to name just a few — infiltrate the nose lining, the brain sends out a signal to get rid of it. That triggers a deep breath, which gets held in the lungs.

Portal Hypertension
Portal Hypertension samer kareem 9,205 Views • 3 years ago

Portal hypertension is an increase in the blood pressure within a system of veins called the portal venous system. Veins coming from the stomach, intestine, spleen, and pancreas merge into the portal vein, which then branches into smaller vessels and travels through the liver.

Blood Flow Through the Heart
Blood Flow Through the Heart samer kareem 6,356 Views • 3 years ago

Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic disorder that occurs primarily in males. It mainly affects the nervous system and the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. In this disorder, the fatty covering (myelin) that insulates nerves in the brain and spinal cord is prone to deterioration (demyelination), which reduces the ability of the nerves to relay information to the brain. In addition, damage to the outer layer of the adrenal glands (adrenal cortex) causes a shortage of certain hormones (adrenocortical insufficiency). Adrenocortical insufficiency may cause weakness, weight loss, skin changes, vomiting, and coma.

Left atrial myxoma
Left atrial myxoma samer kareem 7,109 Views • 3 years ago

Symptoms range from nonspecific and constitutional to sudden cardiac death. [18] In about 20% of cases, myxomas may be asymptomatic and discovered as an incidental finding. Signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis, endocarditis, mitral regurgitation, and collagen vascular disease can simulate those of atrial myxoma. A high index of suspicion aids in diagnosis. Symptoms of left-sided heart failure include the following: Dyspnea on exertion (75%) that may progress to orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and pulmonary edema is observed. [19, 20] Symptoms are caused by obstruction at the mitral valve orifice. Valve damage may result in mitral regurgitation.

Parkinson's Disease Drugs
Parkinson's Disease Drugs samer kareem 1,909 Views • 3 years ago

There have been rapid and remarkable changes over the recent past in treating Parkinson's disease. The development of new drugs and an understanding of how best to use them and the older drugs have significantly improved the quality of life of people with the disease. There are two general approaches to the treatment of Parkinson's disease with medication. The first approach attempts to increase the levels of dopamine in the brain and the second approach attempts to improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease by other means. Most patients with Parkinson's disease can initially be treated with drugs that adequately alleviate their symptoms. If or when medications are not sufficiently effective, new, highly effective and safe surgical treatments are also available.

http://cfs-cure.plus101.com ----- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Diet , Cures For Fatigue, Cure For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is variable and unpredictable, and the condition takes its toll on the patient physically, mentally and emotionally. A number of studies have been performed on CFS, with one particular study determining poor early management of the disorder as a primary risk factor for severe CFS. Among the medical community, there is still no consensus on the best course of action for CFS. Most doctors feel that there is no cure for this condition, and limit their treatment to managing the symptoms. There is controversy over different approaches, and main ones being: • Prescription medications • Lifestyle changes • Diet • Nutritional supplements • Graded exercise therapy • Cognitive behavioral therapy • Other alternative/complementary treatments As CFS affects the patients not only physically but also mentally and emotionally, a holistic approach needs to be taken. It is also important that the people around CFS patients understand the condition, and realize that the patient is not just "being lazy" or "constantly feeling down" - chronic fatigue syndrome IS a serious illness and has severe symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy helps individuals to interpret their symptoms, which in turn helps the patient to shape their behavior in a way to better react to the symptoms. Graded Exercise Therapy A physical therapist can help determine the best exercises for the individual. Programs will start with low levels of exercising, increasing the intensity as the individual gradually builds strength and endurance. Lifestyle Changes Lifestyle changes will also be necessary, including individuals pacing themselves, lowering stress levels, eating a well-balanced diet, engaging in regular moderate exercise, and improving sleep habits. The individual’s work schedule may also need to be modified, as many individuals with CFS find maintaining their regular work schedule too draining. Diet and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment Diet is crucial in CFS, and dietary supplements may be needed. Certain foods may need to be restricted from the diet, as these may trigger or exacerbate CFS symptoms. A diet-symptom journal can help individuals to identify problem foods. In addition, a significant number of CFS cases may be caused or worsened by un-diagnosed food allergies and intolerances. Therefore, it should be a priority for every patient to check for these using a food-symptom diary and elimination diet, especially if in addition to fatigue you experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach cramps, constipation, or diarrhea. Prescriptions and Medications Depression is often associated with CFS. Antidepressants may be prescribed to treat depression, which in turn will help individuals to cope with CFS-related problems. Studies also show antidepressants administered in low doses may help to relieve pain and improve sleep. Prescription sleep aids may also be prescribed to help individuals improve their sleep. Other drugs that may be prescribed include antiviral drugs, ADD/ADHD medications and anti-anxiety drugs. Alternative/Alternative Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment While the usefulness of alternative/complementary therapy may still be controversial in the scientific community, many patients experience tremendous benefits from these. Main ones include:
