			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Snuff Smoking" src="http://www.stopsmokingsteps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/chewing-tobacco_.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="290" />The effects of snuff have been proven and are not positive. Every year there are four million deaths from diseases associated with consumption of snuff, according to estimates by the World Health Organization.</p>
<p>In Spain, the effects of snuff also take their toll. Each day about 150 people die from the effects of snuff according to a study of the Sociedad Catalana de Pneumologia (SOCAP) and the Spanish Association Against Cancer of Catalonia.<span id="more-153"></span></p>
<p>It is well known that snuff causes <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/cancer/lung-cancer.htm">lung cancer</a> approximately 90% of cases of this disease relate to snuff.<br />
What else happens in the body by <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/health-info/cigarettes-have-become-extreme-anxiety.htm">smoking</a>?<br />
Here&#8217;s a summary of some of the most common effects of snuff:</p>
<p>* <a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/cancer/causes-symptoms-and-treatment-for-lung-cancer.htm">Less oxygen to the organs</a><br />
* The damage to blood vessels<br />
* Paralyzes respiratory cilia<br />
* Ulcers<br />
* Eye Damages<br />
* It makes you grow old<br />
* Fertility problems<br />
* Impotence<br />
* It affects the health of children</p>
<p>Less oxygen to the organs<br />
The snuff has adverse effects in health © Lorelyn Medina &#8211; Fotolia Carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen reaching the organs. The decrease of oxygen can have serious consequences such as heart attacks or strokes. Nicotine also increases heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and coronary flow.</p>
<p>The effects of snuff decreased lung tissue elasticity. Cigarette smoke causes respiratory inflammation and interferes with the normal expansion and contraction of lungs.</p>
<p>Carbon monoxide, the invisible poison in cigarette smoke causes heart disease. Carbon monoxide robs oxygen from blood. As a result, tissues receive less oxygen, the food necessary to stay healthy.</p>
<p>Damage to blood vessels and airways<br />
The tars damage and obstruct blood vessels. This can aggravate infections cause diseases of the mouth, throat, lungs and bladder.</p>
<p>Smoking is one of the most common causes of impotence. In one study, smoking a pack of snuff per day increases by up to 60% risk of impotence.</p>
<p>The snuff also affects the airways. Nicotine prevents movement of respiratory cilia, tiny hairs that cover the inside of our lungs. Thanks to its motion in waves carry unwanted particles along the surface of the mucous lining. Thus, respiratory cilia are responsible for assisting in the task of filtering dust and other substances in the inhaled air.</p>
<p>During smoking, the cilia function and hence will detoriando smokers get more colds and respiratory infections easily.</p>
<p>Snuff smoke can trigger an asthma attack.</p>
<p>Ulcers, eye damage and skin aging<br />
Smokers are more susceptible to gastric and duodenal ulcers. Nicotine reduces the levels of vitamin C and so wounds heal more slowly.</p>
<p>Cigarette smoke, including tar, causing biological changes in the eye leading to vision loss in some smokers.</p>
<p>In addition, each puff of cigarette smoke contains about two trillion free radicals responsible for oxidation and premature skin aging. If you want to look younger image as best you can do is quit.</p>
<p>Fertility problems<br />
The fertility problems generated snuff © Galina Barskaya &#8211; Fotolia fumadoray Are you a woman you&#8217;re having trouble getting pregnant? Then you should seriously consider quitting. Dutchman According to a report published by the British science journal &#8220;Human Fertility&#8221; the snuff has an effect &#8216;devastating&#8217; fertility.</p>
<p>The study was conducted among 8,500 women from twenty to forty years in the Netherlands were subject to fertility treatment. Forty percent of them were addicted to snuff and had smoked at least one cigarette a day during the previous year.</p>
<p>The study indicates that a single cigarette a day reduces the likelihood of women becoming pregnant and increases instead of having the abortion.</p>
<p>The researchers concluded that snuff added ten years for women&#8217;s reproductive age, which means that a smoker of thirty years has the same problems that a non-smoker at forty.</p>
<p>The snuff also affects children<br />
Studies of the British Medical Association show that snuff abuse during pregnancy can adversely affect the weight of the unborn baby.</p>
<p>The effects of snuff therefore influence the health of the children of smoking parents.</p>
<p>During its first year of life, children of parents who smoke at home are much more likely to be hospitalized for bronchitis and pneumonia than non-smoking parents.</p>
<p>More than 17,000 children under five are hospitalized annually in British hospitals because of the smoke snuff their parents, according to British newspaper Daily Mail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Penicilin" src="http://emsbands.com/images/Penicillin%20-%20Clear.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="290" />Penicillin and other antibiotics, derivatives are widely used in medical treatment and emergencies. A group of people reported severe allergic reactions to these drugs, which could even cause death. Be alert to this type of allergy and notify your doctor.</p>
<p>Increasingly common allergies to various medications, so that has forced the labs to develop new compounds that relieve ailments without causing these side effects.<span id="more-150"></span></p>
<p>The antibiotics penicillin and its derivatives often cause sensitivity in some patients, so we must be extra alert to prevent inappropriate treatment in these cases.</p>
<p>Options allergy</p>
<p>If you are allergic to penicillin, should also avoid its synthetic derivatives such as amoxicillin and ampicillin, widely used in treatments against viruses. Also at risk of allergic reaction if ingested cephalosporins such as cefadroxil and its derivatives.</p>
<p>Among the options that can be prescribed, are gentamicin, azithromycin, erythromycin and related compounds. These antibiotics are much less aggressive with sensitive patients.</p>
<p>How to avoid accidental exposure</p>
<p>If you are allergic to penicillin and its derivatives, you may experience, on being supplied the drug, reactions such as urticaria and angioedema. In these cases, you should go immediately to the doctor, as inflammatory reactions and angioedema may cause death if not treated properly.</p>
<p>Once known allergy to penicillin should take the following estimates:</p>
<p>- Wear a medical alert bracelet or a card that alerts about your allergies.</p>
<p>- If your child is allergic to penicillin, you must notify all persons who will be responsible for their care during the day, including nurseries, nannies and teachers.</p>
<p>- When you go to the doctor to treat any ailment, Warn about their allergies. If the specialist is not aware of their condition, may prescribe inappropriate for your body.</p>
<p>- Inform your immediate family suffers from allergies. They may need this information in case of emergency.</p>
<p>- Do not treat. Besides the serious consequences that this brings, could accidentally ingest a drug not suitable for your condition.</p>

As if this were not enough, the number of people affected is increasing. Time to detect and avoid causes of new allergies.<span id="more-147"></span></p>
<p>Every day, new allergens in clinics, a distance considerably from classical substances that cause discomfort. Parallel to this phenomenon, each day more allergy among the world&#8217;s population, because the factors that cause allergies are found in the environment in increasing concentrations.</p>
<p>Allergies and Global Warming</p>
<p>Much of this kind of &#8220;epidemic&#8221; by climate change occurs. The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere has consequences on the processes of plants. The saturation of carbon dioxide in the air makes the plants and trees flourish faster, and produce up to five times more pollen. This has increased cases of rhinitis, ocular allergies and other ailments.</p>
<p>Similarly, the high concentration of gas increases in asthma and rhinitis, because exposure to these substances is much higher than normal and the body can not tolerate it.</p>
<p>New generation food</p>
<p>Another cause allergies are a generator of new genetically modified foods. The cost of improving food production is reflected in the emergence of new allergies in the population.</p>
<p>For example, some fruits have protein grafts fish that live at subzero temperatures, so that the plants withstand low temperatures achieved. Therefore, people allergic to fish may experience allergic reactions to eating some fruit under this feature.</p>
<p>Another case of genetically engineered food allergy occurs when you add certain viruses and bacteria to make crops resistant to pests.</p>
<p>Similarly, the growing incorporation of coloring and flavoring to foods creates new allergies, since many people do not easily tolerate this type of artificial components.</p>
<p>Immediate prevention</p>
<p>As you feel symptoms of allergic reaction, seek medical advice. If you react several times to various seemingly unrelated elements, examine the ingredients and warnings carefully to find a common pattern. Early detection of allergen is vital for good treatment.</p>

No more robust scientific evidence of efficacy currently exists in this context for a drug therapy, etc. for snoring snoring sprays or pillows and Weckapparate<br />
The following are the main conservative, apparatus and operational procedures are presented. Basically, these methods can be used alone or in combination.<span id="more-144"></span></p>
<p>Conservative procedures<br />
An increased body weight is associated with snoring and a reduction in body weight is often associated with a reduction of snoring. A reduction in body weight for all overweight persons concerned can be recommended.<br />
Often patients with sleep-disordered breathing is recommended a variety of general behavioral changes. These usually include the avoidance of sleeping pills or an evening of alcohol intake, nicotine, and leave the maintenance of a stable sleep-wake cycle with the appropriate sleep hygiene. Although there is convincing clinical trials for the effectiveness of these recommendations or actions not currently, these recommendations may be found from sleep medical term support.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="lung cancer" src="http://empowereddoctor.com/library/photo/lung-cancer.jpg" alt="lung cancer" width="250" />What is it?</p>
<p>The lungs are a pair of organs that give oxygen to the body and expel carbon dioxide, a waste product produced by the body&#8217;s cells. The bronchi, meanwhile, are tubes through which inspired air reaches from the mouth to the lungs are divided into other smaller and smaller tubes, called bronchioles, until they form alveoli which is where exchange occurs of venous blood gases. Lung cancer is caused by overgrowth of malignant cells in this body, and if not diagnosed early may be shifted to other body organs.</p>
<p>Most forms of<a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/category/cancer/lung-cancer-cancer"> lung cancer</a> in the cells of the lungs, but<a href="http://www.pmc-asociados.com/category/cancer"> cancer</a> can also spread (metastasize) to the lung from other parts of the body. Lung cancer is the most common, either in men or women, and most importantly, is the most common cause of cancer deaths in both men and women.<br />
<span id="more-116"></span><br />
Causes<br />
* Snuff. It is the main cause. Snuff smoke, with its high concentration of carcinogens, goes straight into the air and is inhaled by smokers as nonsmokers. Quitting smoking also significantly reduces the risk of other diseases related to snuff, such as heart disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis.<br />
* Effects of radon. Radon is a radioactive gas found in rocks and soil of the earth, formed by the natural decay of radium. Being invisible and odorless, the only way to determine if one is exposed to the gas is to measure their levels. In addition, exposure to radon combined with smoking significantly increases the risk of lung cancer. Therefore, for smokers, exposure to radon is an even greater risk.<br />
* Exposure to carcinogens. Asbestos is perhaps the best known industrial substance associated with lung cancer, but there are many others: uranium, arsenic, certain petroleum products, etc..<br />
* Willingness genética.Se know that cancer can be caused by mutations (changes) of DNA which activate oncogenes or inactivate the tumor suppressor genes. Some people inherit DNA mutations from their parents, which greatly increases the risk of developing cancer.<br />
* Agents that cause cancer in people at risk trabajo.Entre are miners who inhaled radioactive minerals such as uranium, and workers exposed to chemicals such as arsenic, vinyl chloride, nickel chromates, products from coal, mustard gas and chloromethyl ethers.<br />
* Marijuana. The marijuana cigarettes contain more tar than the snuff. Similarly, the smoke is inhaled deeply and held in the lungs for long. In addition, smoked marijuana cigarettes until the end where tar content is higher.<br />
* Inflammation recurrente.La tuberculosis and some types of pneumonia often leave scars on the lung. This scarring increases the risk that the person develops lung cancer called adenocarcinoma.<br />
* Powder talco.Algunos studies conducted in talc miners and millers suggest that they have a higher risk of developing the disease due to exposure to the same industrial grade talc. This dust, in its natural form may contain asbestos.<br />
* Other types of exposure to mineralesLas people with silicosis and berylliosis (lung disease caused by breathing in certain minerals) also are at increased risk for lung cancer.<br />
* Excess or deficiency of vitamin A. People who do not receive enough vitamin A are at increased risk for lung cancer. Moreover, taking too much vitamin A may also increase the risk of developing lung cancer.<br />
* Pollution aire.En some cities, air pollution may slightly increase the risk of lung cancer. This risk is much lower than that caused by smoking.</p>
<p>Symptoms</p>
<p>People who suffer</p>
<p>* People over fifty years of age who have smoked cigarettes for many years.<br />
* The incidence of lung cancer among women in general has increased, which can be clearly attributed to the increasing number of women smokers.</p>
<p>Symptoms</p>
<p>* Cough or chest pain that does not clear and may be accompanied by expectoration.<br />
* A whistle in breathing, shortness of breath.<br />
* Coughing or spitting up blood.<br />
* Hoarseness or swelling of the face and neck.<br />
* Design or feeling of shortness of breath</p>
<p>Prevention</p>
<p>The main way to prevent lung cancer is to quit smoking or avoid smoke snuff, in the case of non-smokers. It is also important to avoid potential carcinogens that may be in the normal environment (work and home).</p>
<p>Types</p>
<p>According to the appearance of the cells to be examined under a microscope, lung cancers can be divided into two types:</p>
<p>* Lung cancer, non-small cell. It is associated with having smoked before, having lived with a smoker or smokers or being exposed to radon. The main types of lung cancer non-small cell are named depending on the type of cells found in cancer: squamous cell carcinoma (also called squamous cell carcinoma), adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.<br />
* Lung cancer, small cell. It is found in people who smoke or used to smoke cigarettes.</p>
<p>Diagnostics</p>
<p>Because lung cancer symptoms often do not manifest until the disease is advanced, only 15 percent of cases are detected in its early stages. Many lung cancer cases are diagnosed in early stage by accident, which means that are detected as a result of medical tests carried out due to other unrelated health problem.</p>
<p>A biopsy of lung tissue serves to confirm or refute a possible diagnosis of cancer as well as provide valuable information to determine the appropriate treatment. If it is eventually detected lung cancer, additional tests will be conducted to determine how far the disease has spread, including:<br />
# History clínicoy physical examination: The medical history is recorded risk factors and symptoms the patient presents. The physical examination provides information about signs of lung cancer and other health problems.<br />
# Radiological studies: These studies use X-rays, magnetic fields, sound waves or radioactive substances to create images inside the body. They are frequently used imaging studies to detect lung cancer and determine the body part where you have spread. It performs a chest x-ray to see if there is any mass or spot on the lungs.<br />
# Computed tomography (CT): It gives more precise information about the size, shape and position of a tumor and can help detect enlarged lymph nodes that may contain a cancer from the lung. The computed tomography is more sensitive than routine chest radiographs for detecting early-stage cancers.<br />
# Tests magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnets and radio waves to make modern computers detailed cross-sectional images. These images are similar to those produced with computed tomography, but are even more accurate in detecting lung cancer spread to the brain or spinal cord.<br />
# The positron emission tomography (PET): Use a sensitive tracer of low dose that accumulates in cancerous tissues. Bone scans require the injection of a small amount of radioactive substance into a vein. This substance accumulates in abnormal areas of bone that may result from the spread of cancer.<br />
# Sputum cytology: is examined under the microscope a sample of phlegm to see if it contains cancer cells. * Needle biopsy: A needle is inserted into the mass while the lungs are displayed on a computer tomograph. After removing a sample of the mass and observed through a microscope to see if it contains cancer cells.<br />
# Bronchoscopy: We introduce a flexible lighted tube through the mouth into the bronchi. This procedure can help find tumors located centrally or obstructions in the lungs. Can also be used to take biopsies or remove fluids to be examined with a microscope to see if they contain cancer cells.<br />
# Mediastinoscopy: A small cut is made in the neck and a lighted tube is inserted behind the sternum. They used special instruments that are managed through this tube to take a sample of tissue from the mediastinal lymph nodes (along the windpipe and the main areas of bronchial tubes). The observation of the samples under a microscope can show if cancer cells.<br />
# Bone marrow biopsy: A needle is used to remove a cylindrical core of bone of approximately 1.5 millimeters wide and 2.5 inches long. Usually, the sample is taken from the back of the hip bone and studied under a microscope to see if cancer cells.<br />
# Blood tests: It is often carried out some blood tests to help detect if lung cancer has spread to the liver or bones, as well as to diagnose certain paraneoplastic syndromes.</p>
<p>Treatments</p>
<p>The prognosis and treatment options depend on the extent to which stage the cancer, tumor size or type of lung cancer.</p>
<p>The surgery involves removing the tumor and some tissue from the surrounding area and is often used in the early stages of the disease<br />
* Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells.<br />
* Radiation therapy using high energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink the tumor.</p>
<p>Other information</p>
<p>The doctor needs to know the stage of the cancer to plan treatment.</p>
<p>The classification of lung cancer non-small cell goes through the following stages:</p>
<p>* Step hidden. Cancer cells are found in sputum, but you can not find any tumor in the lung.<br />
* Stage 0. The cancer is localized in one area, in some cell layers only, and no growth through the lining of the lung. Another term for this type of lung cancer is &#8220;carcinoma in situ.<br />
* Stage I. Cancer is found only in the lung and surrounded by normal tissue. * Stage II Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.<br />
* Stage III. The cancer has spread to the chest wall or diaphragm near the lung, or the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the area separating the two lungs (mediastinum) or lymph nodes across the chest, or neck.<br />
* Stage IV. The cancer has spread to other parts of the body.<br />
* Recurrent cancer has returned after being treated.</p>
<p>In the classification of lung cancer small cell discusses the stages that follow:</p>
<p>* Limited Stage Cancer is found only in one lung and nearby lymph nodes.<br />
* Extensive Stage Cancer has spread outside the lung where it began to other tissues of the chest or other body parts.<br />
* Step appellant. The disease has reappeared after being treated, whether in the lungs or other body part.<br />
* Step appellant. The disease has reappeared after being treated, whether in the lungs or other body part</p>
