| Smoking And Irritable Bowel Syndrome | | 2008-08-26 21:17:00 | | Effects of Smoking on Irritable Bowel Syndrome Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a disorder that affects the large intestines. It exhibit symptoms such as cramping or pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and gassiness. IBS is also known in other names such functional bowel disease, mucus colitis and spastic colon. However although it also makes use of the term colitis it should never be construed as an inflammatory bowel disease. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is not a dangerous disorder and neither it is contagious nor cancerous. The greatest effect that IBS can have in a patient is to cause stress and discomfort which interrupts daily activities. Irritable Bowel Syndrome especially for married patients often affects their sexual lives. Smoking and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Smoking does not only cause lung cancer but also worsen symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Tobacco just like caffeine and alcohol also worsen IBS symptoms.

| | ALTERED IMMUNITY & THE LEAKY GUT SYNDROME | | 2008-07-26 02:55:29 | | The leaky gut syndrome is the name given to a very common health disorder in which the basic organic defect (lesion) is an intestinal lining which is more permeable (porous) than normal. The abnormally large spaces present between the cells of the gut wall allow the entry of toxic material into the bloodstream that would, in healthier circumstances, be repelled and eliminated.The gut becomes leaky in the sense that bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested protein, fat and waste normally not absorbed into the bloodstream in the healthy state, pass through a damaged, hyperpermeable, porous or ÒleakyÓ gut. This can be verified by special gut permeability urine tests, microscopic examination of the lining of the intestinal wall as well as the bloodstream with phase contrast or darkfield microscopy of living whole blood.Why is The Leaky Gut Syndrome Important?The leaky gut syndrome is almost always associated with autoimmune disease and reversing autoimmune disease depends... | | By: Live Blood Cell Darkfield Analyse Blog | | |

| | Syndrome Smith-Lemli-Opitz | | 2008-06-14 21:12:50 | | Syndrome Smith-Lemli-OpitzAs discussed in The Cholesterol Myths , there is considerable evidence to support the theory that people born with very high cholesterol, high cholesterol family are protected against infection. But if born with high cholesterol protects against infection, born with low cholesterol should have an opposite effect. Indeed it seems that is precisely the case.Children with the syndrome Smith-Lemli-Opitz have a very low cholesterol because the enzyme necessary for the last phase of the synthesis of cholesterol in the body is not working as it should. Most children with this syndrome is born dead or died shortly after birth due to serious malformations of the central nervous system. Children who survive are mentally retarded, have a very low cholesterol and suffer from frequent and serious infections. But if their diet is supplemented with pure cholesterol or with the addition of eggs, their cholesterol and increasing their propensity to infection becomes less prono... | | By: medical dictionary | | |

We all get tired. Many of us at times have felt depressed. But the mystery known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not like the normal ups and downs we experience in everyday life. The early sign of this illness is a strong and noticeable fatigue that comes on suddenly and often comes and goes or never stops. You feel too tired to do normal activities or are easily exhausted with no apparent reason. The profound weakness of CFS does not go away with a few good nights of sleep. Instead, it slyly steals your energy and vigor over months and sometimes years.Chronic fatigue syndrome afflicts more women than men, causes overwhelming fatigue, sleep disorders and other severe symptoms.

| | Pike Syndrome | | 2008-05-21 10:33:45 | | 'Today’s post talks about an interesting phenomenon known as the Pike Syndrome. What is the Pike Syndrome all about and what are the implications that we can learn from it?Firstly, lets learn about the Pike Syndrome.The pike is a fierce carnivorous fish that eats smaller fishes. In an interesting experiment, scientists took a pike and placed it into a large tank with many smaller fishes.The pike however, was separated from these smaller preys by a layer of glass, forming a barrier preventing the pike from reaching its prey.The pike continuously smashed itself against the glass barrier while trying to reach its prey, but was unsuccessful in its attempts in penetrating this invisible barrier.Gradually, it became discouraged and discontinued this behaviour. The pike eventually sank to the bottom of the tank and just laid there. When the pike finally stopped hitting the glass barrier, the scientists removed the barrier, allowing the pike to feast.To their surprise, the pike continued ign... | | By: Better Interpersonal Communication | | |

| | Down Syndrome | | 2008-04-24 10:17:30 | | Apa itu down syndrome? Penyakit ini sebenarnya sudah diketahui sejak tahun 1866 oleh Dr Langdon Down dari Inggris, tetapi baru pada awal tahun enam puluhan ditemukan diagnosisnya secara pasti, yaitu dengan pemeriksaan kromosom. Dahulu nama penyakit ini dikenal dengan Mongoloid atau Mongolism karena penderitanya mempunyai gejala klinik yang khas, yaitu wajahnya seperti bangsa Mongol dengan mata yang sipit membujur ke atas. Tetapi setelah diketahui bahwa penyakit ini terdapat pada seluruh bangsa di dunia dan adanya tuntutan dari pemerintah negara Mongolia yang menganggap kurang etis terhadap pemberian nama tersebut, maka dianjurkan untuk mengganti nama tersebut dengan Sindrom Down.

| | The Why Me Syndrome | | 2008-03-22 01:26:00 | | You hear this a lot when time is spent with other people with mental quirks "How come I have depression? Why me?". This is something I don't do for the most part and the closest I will come is figuring a past life of mistakes is now responsible for my present but there is no logic there so it does not last long. The other reason I do not fall for this syndrome is I am pretty sure I know what the answer is.1. Genetics. Both sides of my family have cases of severe depression in more then one person. A number of my aunts and uncles have been on prescription medications for the last decade. So my brain is pretty much hard wired for depression.2. Coping Mechanisms. Most people get a problem thrust upon them then they handle it then and there. My tendency is to take the problem and swallow the damn thing then later on release the inner turmoil with the help of a razor. Not healthy and the breeding ground for mental illness.3. Brain design.

| | Harnessing the Mind to Manage Irritable Bowel Syndrome | | 2008-02-17 07:09:51 | | (HealthDay News) -- When drugs and dietary changes don't provide relief from the pain, bloating and other unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, patients may want to try a different approach.Recent studies show that using one's own thoughts in a process called cognitive behavioral therapy may help ease symptoms. Likewise, using hypnosis to visualize the pain and imagine it seeping away can be a powerful treatment strategy, too."Research indicates that the probability of achieving benefits is excellent with either approach, even for patients who haven't improved from standard medical care," said Olafur S. Palsson, a clinical psychologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Center for Functional GI & Motility Disorders.As many as 45 million Americans may have irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders reports.

| | Acupressure for M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia | | 2007-11-08 06:41:00 | | Acupressure for M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and FibromyalgiaTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) including Acupressure, Chinese Herbal medicine, Moxa and cupping techniques, have been in use for up to 5000 years. For some of that time it was tradition only to pay your doctor while you were healthy - the cash stopped when you got sick - although economically impractical just think how quickly western medicine would have evolved if preventative medicine and results paid, not tradition, reputation or good marketing!The basic theory of T.C.M is that energy or Chi is generated by breathing, and passes around the body through twelve major channels, each related to an organ, starting with the Lung and finishing with the Liver. If the chi becomes stagnant or weak in any of these channels illness will develop and so the aim is to unclog and tonify these internal energies until a balance is restored and consequently health should improve. To a practicioner of TCM, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, M.E and Fibromyalgia are just an extreme example of the bodies' energy getting out of a normal healthy state.T.C.M - Ancient medicine for a modern plague Diagnosis is by examining the pulses - by putting three fingers side by side along the patient's wrist the acupressurist can feel the strength or otherwise of three of the channels. Pressing a little harder gives three more and with the same on each wrist the state of all twelve channels may be checked.An acupressurist will usually want to see your tongue - as an internal organ visible to the outside it can report on your state of health. For example, a puffy white coated tongue with indentations around the side indicates excessive damp in the system, a problem with Stomach and Spleen energy in particular, leading to poor digestion, weak muscles and a tendency to feel the cold - something common in people with M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.Pins and needlesMany westerners are nervous of having needles stuck into them in the name of ther... | | By: Acupressure | | |
| | Couvade Syndrome | | 2007-11-05 08:52:00 | | Couvade SyndromeDads, have you ever noticed that you were gaining weight along with your partner's pregnancy? Do you find yourself feel queasy at certain times of the day? Have you experienced appetite changes? Then you may be experiencing Couvade Syndrome.Couvade comes from the french word couvee meaning "to hatch". It has come to mean a man having a "sympathetic pregnancy." Yes, ladies, this means that your partner could start to vomit, gain weight, and have many of the "joys" associated with pregnancy.Generally, couvade syndrome begins in the end of the first trimester and increases in severity until the third trimester. The only known cure for couvade is -- birth.Some people have doubted the reality of couvade syndrome. These doubters say that the weight gain that the father may experience is caused by the eating habits of the mother, nerves, or other changes that pregnancy makes in one's life. The vomiting? Of course, that is blamed on nerves, too.What do the dads have to say about this? They don't know what to think about vomiting, weight gain, and changes in sexual appetite. How can you tell everyone at work that you need to lie down because you have morning sickness?!? And, of course, they would stop vomiting if they could.This is something that has been researched and found to be quite real. Some men are more susceptible to couvade than others. For instance if you and your partner have experienced infertility or if you were adopted, you could be more likely to experience couvade syndrome.So, guys, know that you are not alone, and that you have the medical community backing you up. Eat some crackers, get out of bed slowly, drink some ginger tea and try to get a bit of rest and know that birth is right around the corner.And don't shove her out of the way of the toilet!about.com... | | By: All About Parenting | | |

| | | | Organizational Tip #1: Post-traumatic Martha Stewart-itis syndrome | | 2007-08-10 22:28:00 | | So, who feels more stressed out AFTER reading Martha Stewart's mag? Maybe I have problems, but I find her small font and perfect home layouts and instructions for creating your own doily to be overwhelming. I just feel like an inadequate failure. And to boot, I can barely keep up with the millions of things I need to do involving daily life maintenance. I haven't even gotten to the beauty routine I apparently should be doing. Alas, I seek to share life tips that will not add more weight to your to-do lists, but will actually lessen your load. I am also struggling to juggle multiple responsibilities as many other ladies are these days. My first tip is not so much a tip as a change in mindset. As a female, we seek to please. When I get an email, I feel a compulsion not to offend the sender by waiting too long to write back. When the phone rings, I think, yikes, must get to it! When someone rings the door bell, I throw on whatever scraps are nearby and aim a slightly presentable appearance as not to scare away the villagers. When someone insults me, I USED to believe it, then think, how can I fix my hair, face, manner...you fill in the blank. What is wrong about all of this? I am considering everyone but myself. And why is SOMEONE ELSE'S opinion more valid than your own? Well, it's not. Who could possibly understand your needs better than YOU? And jumping to attention at every available opportunity is not only exhausting, but it is rude to YOURSELF. So, the bigger picture gain by stopping this horrid behavior is a sense of empowerment. Stop dropping everything and getting completely stressed out and abandoning your responsibilities and dreams. So, solution number 1 involves focusing on your own needs first. You are not selfish, you are not cruel, and lastly, being a martyr is boring. Relishing in telling for the 115th time how exhausted you are, and how you don't have time is also boring. What would be interesting is being rested, feeling in control of your destiny, and accomplishing some of your personal goals. So, anytime the phone rings, the doorbell dongs, the email comes buzzing in, first STOP. Second, take a deep breath. Third, say to yourself, will the world explode into a million pieces if I don't answer the phone? In the modern world, with caller ID, you will know if it's the Secretary of State ringing. Unless you are Jack Bauer, this is unlikely. Obviously, turning off the lights and your tunes and hiding in the closet when the doorbell rings reeks of weirdness, and perhaps the UPS man has arrived with tasty treats. You may need to answer the door, but if you don't feel like an hour-long chat with your blabby neighbor, cutting it short isn't rude...her disrespect of your schedule IS. Not that people are to be cut off rudely or socialization is unhealthy...but if you are focusing and working and accomplishing, these interruptions should be kept quick and you should schedule in fun time with friends. Log your phone messages, important emails to return on your calendar or To Do list for a specific time of day. Pick a specified time to devote full attention, much like a doctor's appointment. It is time limited, and whatever you don't finish in that time (I'd suggest 1 hour), is for the To-Do list for tomorrow. TAKING BACK YOUR LIFE AND TIME plan: Interruption occurs (doorbell, phone, email, dog humping your leg, etc.)1. STOP and take a breath2. Ask yourself, "is this absolutely necessary to attend to at this very second?"3. If the answer is no, which it should mostly be, then continue your work... If the answer is yes, you must divert attention, then do so, completing the task quickly and return to your previous activity.4. Make a list of phone calls, emails, visits, and schedule the most vital for a daily block of time. PROS: a sense of control, more work accomplished in less time, re-prioritizing YOU vs the rest of the world, less stress, fewer headachesCONS: your change of behavior may surprise and disappoint others who are used to having you jump when they call (after time and reinforcement, they will get used to the new you)FAB TIP: Toodledo has added great organizational joy to my life.

| | Restless Leg Syndrome | | 2007-07-02 08:37:13 | | Restlessness is something that can hinder a good night’s sleep. People end up finding the right position that they feel comfortable in and this is the result of various factors. Among them include stress, fatigue or intake of different types of medication that affect some key internal organs of the human body. The Restless Leg Syndrome may not be that important to most but it is really something that is a reality that a lot of people experience.
“RLS can be of two types, primary and secondary. Primary RLS occurs in those born with sleep disorders, and secondary RLS is usually associated with specific medical conditions, stress and the use of certain drugs.
While nearly 10 to 15 per cent of the Western population suffers from the disorder, Doctors say, in India, the number has increased from one patient a month to three to four patients a month at present, in the last five years.”

| | | Early-Warning Signals for Overtraining Syndrome | | 2007-06-13 21:42:00 | | Fred has left a new comment on " Suggest a Topic! ": Do competitive runners absolutely live on Advil or what? I've somehow injured myself (again), and might end up taking a few days off, which professional athletes surely cannot afford. And let's not even get started talking about the feet. A five-mile run is what? 10,000 steps? Which is what? 450 pounds of force absorbed into each shoe 5,000 times per workout? It's impressive how they can work through what must be virtually chronic pain.You'll want to ask how old I am. Resist the urge. OK, fine. Let's just say that I'm almost 39 (in metric). Sounds like you're suffering from overtraining syndrome. One of the sad facts of life is that most athletes, as they age, are not only slower but they need more rest and recovery than they did when they were younger. If you're training with the same intensity as you were when you were 10 years younger, you're probably overtraining. As for professional athletes, I would imagine that they... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | NCP Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Premenstrual Syndrome | | 2007-05-14 03:36:00 | | DSM-IV Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (provided for further study) Recommended for further systematic clinical study and research, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (popularly called PMS) is characterized by multiple symptom clusters occurring during the menstrual cycle, becoming progressively disabling. Some research suggests these symptoms may be a delayed effect of hormonal changes earlier in the menstrual cycle, or the result of an independent cyclical mood disorder that is synchronized with the menstrual cycle. Although the physical symptoms produce discomfort, the mood change or premenstrual negative affect symptoms are often more distressing, interfering with familial, social, and work-related activities. The condition usually improves after the onset of menses; however, for some women, symptoms persist through and after menses. The symptoms cannot result solely from cyclic or environmental stress but may be enhanced by these stressors. This diagnosis is not used when the person is experiencing a late luteal phase exacerbation of another disorder, such as major depression, panic disorder, or dysthymia. ETIOLOGICAL THEORIES Psychodynamics Although etiology is not understood, symptoms are believed to be related to the interaction of psychological, social, and biological factors. Underlying personality and psychiatric conditions contribute to how any particular individual deals with these physical problems. An individual’s past and present negative attitudes toward menstruation are likely to influence the symptomatology of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Emotion is the result of complex interactions between hormonal changes and cognitive variables. Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle are likely to increase the female’s susceptibility to negative psychological experiences rather than to cause such experiences. Biological Although not completely understood, it may be related to the alterations (fluctuations) in estrogen and progesterone and the ... | | By: Nursing Care Plan | | |
| | Stockholm Syndrome | | 2007-05-11 07:52:00 | | Penny, as a two year old, you can be a real hassle. I thought when I shipped you off to Texas last week to stay with your grandparents I'd enjoy the break from your mischievous antics. I'd have chance to nap, shop, drool, or whatever else I thought I'd been missing out on. But much to my shock I spent a good amount of the time thinking of you. Your grandpa is bringing you back home tomorrow and it's a good thing too because I've been nostalgic the past few days. I find myself missing the weirdest things... I miss chasing you across the park as you make a break for the sleeping homeless man because you want to "snuggle" with him.I miss correcting you when you yell, "DANGIT" every time you drop something.I miss coming in after your nap and finding that instead of sleeping, you have taken the afternoon to paint your entire body with poop.I miss soiling all my towels to mop up the flooded bathroom after you have overfilled the bathroom sink yet again.I miss you yelling from my room, ... | | By: Hollywood Flakes: Get 'em While They're Hot | | |
| | Strange Signboard Syndrome | | 2006-11-06 16:25:00 | | I was under the impression strange signboards were ‘native’ to the scholarly city of Pune. The signs found in and around Pune are a topic of great intrigue; they range from downright inane to brilliant to plain rude, sarcastic or scornful. (Spotted outside a Pune home: “We are vegetarian but our dog is not.”) However traces of the ‘strange signboard syndrome’ can be found everywhere in the world including Mumbai. Read on.· At the nursing home located opposite the mosque in Bandra:An assortment of signboards bearing the names and visiting hours of various medicos has been put up above the façade. One of them reads:Dr. D. K. SinghPHYSIO THE RAPIST Really. No cattle excreta. The painter clearly reads too many SMS jokes.· Last week I was at the Examination building in the University.
