HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Unlike some other viruses, the human body can’t get rid of HIV completely. So once you have HIV, you have it for life. HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body, making the person more likely to get infections or infection-related cancers. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease. These opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS, the last state of HIV infection. No effective cure for HIV currently exists, but with proper treatment and medical care, HIV can be controlled. The medicine used to treat HIV is called antiretroviral therapy or ART. If taken the right way, every day, this medicine can dramatically prolong the lives of many people with HIV, keep them healthy, and greatly lower their chance of transmitting the virus to others. Today, a person who is diagnosed with HIV, treated before the disease is far advanced, and stays on treatment can live a nearly as long as someone who does not have HIV.

Every 10 minutes, someone is added to the national transplant waiting list, and every day, 22 people on average die waiting for a match, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. But, thanks to innovations in bioengineering, all of that could change. Conceived nearly 60 years ago, the total artificial heart (TAH) has helped sustain the sickest biventricular failure patients waiting for a transplant. While the design of the primary TAH used today has mostly remained stagnant since the ’80s, when it was first implanted in a patient, new models and clinical trials may lead to a better device and, one day, a permanent solution. “We are still many years away from that,” Dr. Nader Moazami, director of the Cardiac Transplantation and Ventricular Assist Device Therapy Program at the Cleveland Clinic, told FoxNews.com of a permanent artificial heart. “Although tremendous strides have been made, biocompatibility will always remain a challenge.”

Bariatric surgical procedures cause weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients, or by a combination of both gastric restriction and malabsorption. Bariatric procedures also often cause hormonal changes. Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery). The most common bariatric surgery procedures are gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. Each surgery has its own advantages and disadvantages.

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.

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids in which they become red, irritated and itchy and dandruff-like scales form on the eyelashes. It is a common eye disorder caused by either bacteria or a skin condition, such as dandruff of the scalp or acne rosacea. It affects people of all ages. Although uncomfortable, blepharitis is not contagious and generally does not cause any permanent damage to eyesight.

Dopamine is the one neurotransmitter that everyone seems to know about. Vaughn Bell once called it the Kim Kardashian of molecules, but I don’t think that’s fair to dopamine. Suffice it to say, dopamine’s big. And every week or so, you’ll see a new article come out all about dopamine.

www.lung.org > Lung Health and Diseases > Lung Disease Lookup > Silicosis Learn About Silicosis Silicosis is a lung disease caused by breathing in tiny bits of silica, a mineral that is part of sand, rock, and mineral ores such as quartz. It mostly affects workers exposed to silica dust in occupations such mining, glass manufacturing, and foundry work. Over time, exposure to silica particles causes scarring in the lungs, which can harm your ability to breathe. Key Facts There are three types of silicosis: acute, chronic, and accelerated. It occurs in workers from mines, foundries, sandblasting, and glass manufacturing. About 2 million US workers remain potentially exposed to occupational silica. There is no cure for silicosis, but it can be prevented. What Is Silicosis? There are three types of silicosis: Acute silicosis, which causes cough, weight loss, and fatigue within a few weeks or years of exposure to inhaled silica. Chronic silicosis, which appears 10 to 30 years after exposure and can affect upper lungs and sometimes cause extensive scarring. Accelerated silicosis, which occurs within 10 years of high-level exposure. Silicosis can develop within a few weeks to even decades after exposure. When people breathe silica dust, they inhale tiny particles of the mineral silica. This silica dust can cause fluid buildup and scar tissue in the lungs that cuts down your ability to breathe. This can lead to lung scarring and cough, weight loss, and fatigue.

The inflatable penile prosthesis consists of two attached cylinders -- a reservoir and a pump -- which are placed surgically in the body. The two cylinders are inserted in the penis and connected by tubing to a separate reservoir of saline. The reservoir is implanted under the rectus muscles in the lower abdomen. A pump is also connected to the system and sits under the loose skin of the scrotal sac, between the testicles. This penile prosthesis is referred to as a 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis, due to the three different components. A 2-piece inflatable penile prosthesis consists of only two components: the attached cylinders and the combined reservoir and pump unit. Instead of the reservoir being placed behind the groin, it is combined with the pump into one housing unit that fits comfortably within the scrotum. The advantage of a 2-piece prosthesis in that the surgery is shorter and less complicated and there is no device parts in the abdomen. The disadvantage of the 2-piece prosthesis is that the smaller reservoir may not result in adequate erections in some men. To inflate the prosthesis, the man presses on the pump. The pump transfers saline from the reservoir to the cylinders in the penis, inflating them and causing an erection. Pressing on a deflation valve at the base of the pump returns the fluid to the reservoir, deflating the penis and returning it to the normal flaccid state.

Colon Irritable Tratamiento Natural, Tratamiento Sindrome Intestino Irritable, Colon Irritable Cura--- http://intestino-irritable-tratamiento.plus101.com --- Los Alimentos Desencadenantes De SCI, Esta dolencia gastrointestinal puede ser desencadenada por ciertos alimentos o grupos de alimentos, de los cuales podemos mencionar específicamente seis de ellos. Lo aconsejable es que evite su consumo si usted sufre o es propenso a sufrir SII. 1 - Los alimentos fritos, especialmente los fritos con aceites que contienen ácidos grasos trans hidrogenados. Dentro de este grupo encontramos las llamadas comidas rápidas. 2 - La carne y los productos lácteos: las carnes grasas, especialmente de las granjas industriales, carnes procesadas y la leche pasteurizada. Para reemplazar estos alimentos, se puede utilizar leche de soja o la llamada carne orgánica, proveniente de ganado alimentado a base de pasto, libre de químicos, antibióticos y hormonas de crecimiento. 3 - Los productos horneados procesados incluyendo panes envasados, pasteles y galletas. Contienen azúcar refinada y grasas malas, así como harina blanca refinada. A veces es posible que contengan jarabe de maíz alto en fructosa. Si usted sufre del SII, puede optar por la compra de productos de panadería directamente de una panadería de su confianza o hacer sus propios productos caseros con ingredientes enteros. Trigo germinado, los sustitutos del trigo, como el trigo sarraceno espelta, u otros granos utilizados en productos de panadería (sin aditivos perjudiciales) también pueden ser una opción que no va a afectar a su organismo. Lea atentamente las etiquetas de los productos que consume y ante cualquier duda, debe asesorarse. 4 - El café y el alcohol pueden crear respuestas ácidas del esfínter inferior del esófago y la válvula ileocecal, que es el esfínter entre los intestinos grueso y delgado que se abre brevemente y se cierre la mayor parte del tiempo para evitar que los fluidos intestinales se mezclen. La causa principal de muchos de los problemas del SII y de otras enfermedades digestivas más graves se da cuando la válvula ileocecal permanece abierta demasiado tiempo. Todas las demás recomendaciones relativas a los alimentos y los hábitos alimentarios son relevantes para evitar que esto ocurra. 5 - Los edulcorantes artificiales: El sorbitol puede no ser tan peligroso neurológicamente como el aspartamo y otros edulcorantes artificiales, pero estimula los síntomas del SII. Para obtener más consejos sobre alimentación sana que lo ayude a aliviar sus síntomas del SII, puede dirigirse al sitio http://intestino-irritable-tratamiento.plus101.com

Live TV is so exciting because anything can happen, and sometimes that means injuries. Today I'm reacting to injuries and medical emergencies that happened on live tv. We're talking America's Got Talent, American Idol, newscasters having strokes, dehydration, Wendy Williams overheating, swallowing swords, being hit with a motorcycle, vasovagal syncope, drowning, Dan Harris, and magical tricks like David Blaine's needle in going wrong. Which clips did I miss? Let me know down below.

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!
