Cancer of the cervix
The uterus is an organ of the genital tract of women. It is composed of two parts: the body and neck.
It is within the body of the uterus as the fetus develops after fertilization of an ovum by a spermatozoon
Cervix The cervix is the lower part of the body, it connects the body of the uterus with the vagina and the outside. It comes in the form of a thick-walled cylinder whose lumen is virtual in normal times. (more…)
Anemia is characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood. Depending on the severity of form, this translates into different symptoms, most features are tiredness and some pallor.
Anemia
If the causes of anemia are varied, it is generally expressed by pallor and tiredness
Lately, you feel particularly tired, exhausted, no energy? It never ceases to remind you that you have a small mine, you’re a little pale? This may be a simple drop in form is temporary but it may also be anemic. To find a single solution, consult a doctor with a simple blood test, can diagnose, if any, anemia.
But what is it exactly that anemia? It is the state in which the body is found when the hemoglobin in the blood is greatly reduced. However, it is the hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells that carries oxygen to all organs of the body. When their concentration is reduced, blood can not carry the necessary oxygen to tissues.

T
he symptoms of flu and colds can be similar. This explains why many people still confuse colds and flu. Similarly, symptoms of avian influenza A (H1N1), or ordinary flu can be similar. With the outbreak of influenza A (H1N1), there is every reason to recall the symptoms of colds and flu, issue a little reassurance.
The flu has several variants, and may be perceived differently from one person to another. The flu has symptoms muscle, stomach flu presents others. Symptoms of influenza can cause different results because people do not all react the same way a virus. Some will return ten days without power, will hurt all over and suffer from headaches. Other cons are in a little shot, but still arrive at work. The strength of the immune system is very much on the damage caused by the influenza virus, the ugly that is changing and comes back every year to test our antibodies! For you there, here are the differences between the flu and colds:
Cold symptoms:
- Print fatigue
- Coughing, sneezing
- Runny nose
- Very little fever, most of the time she is absent or very low
- Possibility of muscle aches, dry throat or sore throat
- Watery eyes and headaches can be added to the symptoms
- Duration: 3 to 4 days. On rare occasion, colds can last up to 10 days (more…)
Breast cancer: what is it?
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women around the world.1. It occurs most often after menopause. It is not the most deadly: lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death among women.
One in 9 women may be suffering from breast cancer in her lifetime. Men may also be affected, but rarely. Less than 1% of cases of breast cancer affecting men.
The number of patients increased slightly but steadily over the past 3 decades. For cons, the mortality rate has steadily declined over the same period, thanks to advances in screening, diagnosis and treatment.
The breast consists of fat, glands and channels (see diagram cons). The glands arranged in lobules produce milk and canals (ducts) are used to transport the milk to the nipple. Breast tissue is influenced by hormones produced by women in varying amounts throughout their life (puberty, pregnancy, lactation). These hormones are estrogen and progesterone.
Cancer indicates the presence of abnormal cells. These abnormal cells multiply uncontrollably. Cancer cells can remain in the breast or spread throughout the body by the blood or lymphatic vessels. Most of the time, the progression of breast cancer takes many months and even years.
There are different forms of breast cancer, each with an evolution of its own. They can be divided into two broad categories: non-invasive cancer or in situ, which only affects the milk ducts, and invasive cancer or invasive, spreading into the fatty breast tissue. (Note, that the cancer is invasive does not mean that form metastases, but it invades the tissue around the channels). (more…)
Causes of Brain cancer
The exact cause of cancer remains unknown. Is called a primary brain tumor that starts in the brain itself. It can spread to surrounding areas of the brain and destroy them. Breast cancer, lung, skin, or blood cells (leukemia or lymphoma) can also spread (metastasize) to the brain, causing metastatic brain cancer. These groups of cancerous cells may then multiply in a single region or in different parts of the brain.
Symptoms and Complications
Brain cancer causes symptoms when it pushes on the brain that destroys brain tissue. Symptoms depend on the size and location of the tumor, and the speed at which it multiplies. Although headaches are often a symptom of brain cancer, it is important to remember that most headaches are not caused by cancer but are caused by less serious conditions such as migraine or tension. Headaches caused by brain tumors are often severe, associated with nausea and vomiting and often worse early in the day. They can last long or occur intermittently.
Other symptoms include:
* Dizziness
* Impaired vision as double vision
* Impaired coordination
* Weakness or numbness on one side of body
* Seizures
* Changes in mood, senses, personality or feelings
* A state of confusion or difficulty concentrating
A good sleep is prepared with a healthy life: going to bed at a regular time, quietly in a room cool enough … But also with a good diet! And even if there is no miracle food for good sleep, a few simple dietary rules to follow can help to pass a better night.
You suffer from sleep disorders? And if the problem had your plate? Here are some tips to stop counting sheep …
Take away the exciting
Coffee, tea and drinks cola should be avoided during the afternoon because they contain caffeine is very exciting to the nervous system, and its action may occur for several hours. Even chocolate (one of whose constituents, theobromine, is similar to caffeine) can have a stimulating effect when consumed in large quantities: it is enough to observe the children during the holiday season of year!
Contrary to the adage goes well known “who sleeps dines” It is better to dinner before going to sleep! By sunset fasting, we may be awakened by stomach cramps, or craving. Experiments in animals have shown that fasting can completely eliminate sleep. And we know that pregnant women or the elderly, it can cause severe discomfort (fall, loss of consciousness) related to hypoglycemia.
Do not eat too much or too late
Sleep requires a relatively low temperature. Now digestion increases the body temperature. If dinner is very abundant, this phenomenon is more marked and more prolonged, which of course threatens the rest of the night. Always for the same reason, even if one eats sensibly, it is best to wait at least 1 hour or 1 hour 30 minutes after eating to lie down: no question of going to bed after dinner!
Choose its menus
Logically, it will not on the menu of dinner dishes richest, or laborious digestion: fried foods, pastries, mushrooms, strong cheeses, tripe, fondue … are generally banned under penalty of heaviness in the stomach and nocturnal awakening. It is also question of individual susceptibility, and everyone knows that food did not succeed.
It was sometimes said that the protein foods such as meat or cheese, which increase the secretion of norepinephrine (the substance of the centers of consciousness), should be consumed rather than the morning and avoided the evening. In fact, studies in humans have failed to observe a net effect of this action supposed proteins.
Drinking alcohol regularly and for prolonged periods, triggering mechanisms of reversion neuroadaptive slow and difficult to contribute to strengthening consumption and biochemical bases of which, intensively studied in recent years, new approaches are brightening in the pathophysiology and treatment of the problem.
The acute and chronic effects of ethanol are related to various central neurotransmitter systems: serotonin, opioid, dopamine and, especially, GABAergic and glutamatergic. The complex constellation of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved has broadened the view from which to approach the study of alcohol dependence and identify new targets for treatment.
For years, pharmacological treatment of alcohol dependence has focused on preventing positive reinforcement (reward) by aversive agents such as disulfiram or calcium cyanamide.
Benzodiazepines and other sedatives have been used to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and allow alcohol detoxification, but side effects limit their prolonged administration which requires the treatment of addiction.
Given the influence of alcohol on dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, and the role assigned to this transmitter in the positive reinforcement of drugs of abuse, we investigate the effects of agonists and antagonists that were already using for other indications neurological. Thus, tiapride, D2 antagonist, anxiolytic and atypical neuroleptic that reduces alcohol withdrawal symptoms, has been approved for the treatment of both chronic and acute alcoholism, while bromocriptine is still under study.
Overall, the different treatment of alcohol dependence are being supported by the combination of drug regimens, psychosocial rehabilitation programs.
In the treatment process, it is essential to clearly formulate immediate short-term objectives, which will constitute the initiation of treatment (detoxification), adapted to the possibilities of each case, with special attention to evaluate your environment and choosing the utmost care to use drugs for detoxification.
