Dry EyesIt is known as dry eye when there is a shortage or lack of tears. The “dry eyes”, according to the severity of dry fall in light, medium and severe. Being currently the most common eye disease, because most are caused by irritable eyes, dry eyes.

What causes this?

First we must start by knowing who are the tears. The tear has three different fractions, which are produced in different glands: The lacrimal glands secrete the aqueous fraction, which constitutes 99% of the total tear. The conjunctiva, which lines the white of the eye and the posterior wall of the eyelids, is composed of cells that produce mucin Calciform, which constitutes only 0.5% of total tear. And in his eyelids have meibomian thickness (which occur when they are sick and styes chalazia) that produce fat in minute quantities. Each of these components are arranged as follows:

I. Mucin extends over the surface of the cornea, being the most posterior layer of the tear.

II. The aqueous tear mucin is placed on forming the middle layer.

III. The tear fat spreads as a thin film on the water, forming the outer layer.

fractures

Fractures of the bones can vary from a simple crack, barely noticeable, to a complete fracture with open wound. Typically, the victim will suffer severe pain in the fracture zone, and if it has occurred in a limb, unable to use it: if you have broken your leg can not walk at all and if you have broken arm can not do anything with it, however I wanted. It usually occurs a strong swelling at the site of the fracture and is often seen limb deformity. If there is no deformity but we suspect that the bone is broken, we can do a test consisting of push, against each other, both sides think the bone that has fractured. For example, if you suspect a fractured forearm, will take the injured arm by his wrist and pushed her to the elbow if it is broken, this pressure will produce pain, and if not there will be bearable.

Makeshift splint

The first thing to do when a bone is fractured is immobilized. Thus largely alleviated the pain and avoid the edges, sometimes sharp, bone broken, tears occur in blood vessels, nerves or other soft tissues like skin. If it’s a limb, improvise a splint with sticks, poles or any long object we find. A scarf or belt to hold them to serve both sides of the injured limb. A broken leg, if we find nothing but how to fix it, we can sell with the other leg, which will then fractured splint. The same can be done in case of broken bones of the hand or foot: sell the affected toe with their adjacent.

vitamins for lifeVitamins are organic compounds essential to life. Protein-bound, act as catalysts in chemical reactions multiple metabolic processes involved in growth and development, the formation of hormones, and so on.

They can be synthesized by cells in the body and must be provided as such or as their precursors, ie as substances from which the agency itself can synthesize the active form.

Along with the minerals forming the group of micronutrients, nutrients found in small amounts in food and fulfilling their functions in tiny doses and do not contribute calories, can be used in low-calorie diets as dietary supplements without increasing the caloric value of these diets in any way.

However, it is a common belief that vitamins are fattening and many patients are reluctant to use even against doctor’s orders. I think this is related to the use that often have been given vitamin supplements and minerals that have been associated in our memory so not very clear: “… That grandfather who was so bad … until you prescribed those vitamins that made him gain weight.

Thus, battered individuals chose targets “that represent how they felt when they threw things,” rings “for the oppression they felt ‘or keys” because their biggest fear began when she heard her husband get “as Concha Lopez. This new technology contributes to more easily re-experience the disturbing event.

Prostate Cancer There are treatments for all patients with prostate cancer. Commonly used five types of treatments:

1. Surgery (taking out the cancer)
2. Radiation therapy (using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)
3. Hormone therapy (using hormones to stop cancer cell growth)
4. Chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells)
5. Biological therapy (using the body’s immune system to fight cancer)

Surgery is one of the common treatments for prostate cancer. Your doctor may remove the cancer using one of the following. Surgery is reseved for those patients in good health, with less than 70 years and who choose surgery as their best option. Read more…

Prostate CancerProstate cancer is a disease in which cells form malignant (cancer) in prostate tissue. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine). Its size is like a walnut and surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder). The prostate gland produces fluid that makes up part of semen.

Some of the possible signs of prostate cancer include reduced urinary stream caliber and increased frequency of urination. These and other symptoms may be caused by prostate cancer or other conditions. We must see a doctor if you have any of the following problems:

* Decreased caliber or interrupted urinary stream.

* Increased frequency of urination (especially at night).

* Difficulty urinating.

* Pain or burning during urination.

* Blood in urine or semen.

* Aching pain in the back, hips or pelvis.

brain cancer

The presence of the above symptoms may lead a physician to suspect brain cancer. A CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the first examinations to be performed to properly diagnose a brain cancer, whatever the type. These specialized radiological examinations can detect many types of brain tumors and determine their location and size accurately. However, they do not determine whether the tumor is cancerous or not.

We must perform a biopsy to determine if the tumor is cancerous. For this, we take a sample of the tumor during surgery. If the tumor is too deep in the brain, surgeons can use a technique called stereotactic biopsy or establishment of the needle through three-dimensional approach. This technique uses an MRI to create a three dimensional image of the brain that are then used to guide a needle contained in a special case to the appropriate region of the brain. It sucks and is collected tumor cells in the needle for analysis. Once collected, we analyze the biopsy sample using microscopes and special chemicals to determine the type of tumor. It usually takes several days before obtaining the results of a type of tumor.

We may sometimes collect cells of brain tumors in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a special fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. CSF samples are taken using a thin needle that is inserted in the lower back under local anesthesia, this procedure is called a lumbar puncture. We can do this procedure when too much pressure accumulates in the brain. Indeed, the pressure change resulting from the brain drain may cause aspiration of part of the brain tissue at the base of the skull, causing serious complications.

AcupunctureAcupuncture is a healing technique used in traditional Chinese medicine. They are used very thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body. These points are in energy pathways called “meridians”. The acupuncture treatments designed to improve the flow and balance of energy along these meridians.

Traditional Chinese medicine has existed for at least 2,500 years. It considers the human body as a system of energy flows. When these flows are balanced, the body is healthy. Practitioners take their patients’ pulses and examine their tongues to diagnose energy imbalances. In Chinese medicine, pulses can be taken at three points on each wrist and three deep at every position.

The disease is not defined by symptoms or by the name of a disease like “HIV.” Instead, a Chinese medicine practitioner will talk about energy imbalances. The language may sound very strange, like “yin deficiency” or “liver heat rising.” The Chinese words yin and yang refer to opposing energies that should be balanced, and “Qi” (pronounced as “chi”) can be roughly translated as energy or life force.
