Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate. Cellular accumulation and gland enlargement may result from epithelial and stromal proliferation, impaired preprogrammed cell death (apoptosis), or both. BPH involves the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate arising in the periurethral and transition zones of the gland (see Pathophysiology). The hyperplasia presumably results in enlargement of the prostate that may restrict the flow of urine from the bladder. BPH is considered a normal part of the aging process in men and is hormonally dependent on testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production. An estimated 50% of men demonstrate histopathologic BPH by age 60 years. This number increases to 90% by age 85 years. The voiding dysfunction that results from prostate gland enlargement and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is termed lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). It has also been commonly referred to as prostatism, although this term has decreased in popularity. These entities overlap; not all men with BPH have LUTS, and likewise, not all men with LUTS have BPH. Approximately half of men diagnosed with histopathologic BPH demonstrate moderate-to-severe LUTS. Clinical manifestations of LUTS include urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia (awakening at night to urinate), decreased or intermittent force of stream, or a sensation of incomplete emptying. Complications occur less commonly but may include acute urinary retention (AUR), impaired bladder emptying, the need for corrective surgery, renal failure, recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or gross hematuria. (See Presentation.) Prostate volume may increase over time in men with BPH. In addition, peak urinary flow, voided volume, and symptoms may worsen over time in men with untreated BPH (see Workup). The risk of AUR and the need for corrective surgery increases with age.
Can the flu be treated? Yes. There are prescription medications called “antiviral drugs” that can be used to treat flu illness. What are antiviral drugs? Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid, an inhaled powder, or an intravenous solution) that fight against the flu in your body. Antiviral drugs are not sold over-the-counter. You can only get them if you have a prescription from your doctor or health care provider. Antiviral drugs are different from antibiotics, which fight against bacterial infections. What should I do if I think I have the flu? If you get the flu, antiviral drugs are a treatment option. Check with your doctor promptly if you are at high risk of serious flu complications (see box below for the full list of high risk factors). Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Your doctor may prescribe antiviral drugs to treat your flu illness. Should I still get a flu vaccine? Yes. Antiviral drugs are not a substitute for getting a flu vaccine. While flu vaccine can vary in how well it works, a flu vaccine is the first and best way to prevent seasonal influenza. Antiviral drugs are a second line of defense to treat the flu (including seasonal flu and variant flu viruses) if you get sick.

Come curare la sciatica a casa Se hai avuto abbastanza sciatalgia a dirigere la tua vita, non disperare! ti mostrerò tre dei più comuni trattamenti casalinghi per la sciatica, e come usarli per ridurre il dolore in modo rapido. La parte migliore di questi trattamenti è che possono curare la sciatica, e non solo coprire il dolore. Quindi, cominciamo... 1. Programma di esercizi a casa I programmi di esercizio sono una componente importante di qualsiasi piano di trattamento della sciatica. Con l'allungamento e il rafforzamento di parti del corpo che possono causare l'irritazione del nervo sciatico, è possibile ridurre il dolore e accelerare il recupero. Gli esercizi più efficaci dipendono dalla ragione di fondo per cui soffri di sciatica. La sciatica causata da un'ernia del disco, per esempio, non viene trattata con gli stessi esercizi della sciatica causata da stenosi spinale. È anche importante mantenere il corpo rilassato, per consentirgli di guarire. Un modo grandioso per farlo, senza aggravare la tua condizione, è camminare a ritmo sostenuto. Altre attività leggere possono avere un effetto simile, ma se qualcosa fa male è necessario fermarsi immediatamente. Suggerimento gratuito: è essenziale che non ci si riduca a letto a causa del dolore. Stare sdraiati a letto per più di due giorni ha dimostrato peggiorare la sciatica, perché i muscoli si irrigidiscono e si indeboliscono. 2. Bilancia la tua dieta Curare la sciatica in modo permanente, spesso significa trattare più che la semplice causa fisica. Per impedire che il dolore si ripresenti, dovrai anche migliorare la tua dieta. Uno dei modi più semplici per ridurre il dolore associato con sciatica è quello di bere più acqua. Quando si è disidratati, parti della colonna vertebrale si sgonfiano. Questo può causare ulteriore pressione sul nervo sciatico. Se possibile, si dovrebbe anche cercare di evitare alimenti infiammatori. Gli alimenti infiammatori sono troppi, per elencarli in questo articolo, ma qualsiasi alimento dotato di elevato contenuto di zucchero può, potenzialmente, portare a infiammazione e ad aumento del dolore. 3. Rimedi casalinghi I rimedi casalinghi possono fare una grande differenza per tua sciatalgia, spesso in tempi relativamente brevi. La cosa grandiosa dei rimedi casalinghi è che non richiedono prescrizione o ingredienti costosi. Uno dei più semplici rimedi casalinghi sono le noccioline. Questo perché le arachidi contengono un sacco di magnesio, che è cruciale per consentire muscoli di rilassarsi.

Alzheimer's worsens over time. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Those with Alzheimer's live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others, but survival can range from four to 20 years, depending on age and other health conditions. Alzheimer's has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. Although current Alzheimer's treatments cannot stop Alzheimer's from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing.

Parathyroid cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of a parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are four pea-sized organs found in the neck near the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands make parathyroid hormone (PTH or parathormone). PTH helps the body use and store calcium to keep the calcium in the blood at normal levels.
Gastroparesis -- literally “paralyzed stomach” -- is a serious condition manifested by delayed emptying of stomach contents into the small intestine after a meal. There is no cure for gastroparesis, but treatment can speed gastric emptying and relieve gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
