Leukemia Blood Cancer

35% of cases of childhood cancer, leukemias, and creates the first place.
35% of cases of childhood cancer, leukemias, and creates the first place. According to the cell type of leukemias, ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and AML (acute myeloblastic leukemia) to be divided into two main groups. Tanımlanabilir.Türkiye themselves in the lower classes at the age of 16 in each year 1200-1500 reported new cases of children with leukemia.
Causes of leukemia is not yet fully elucidated. New developments in cytogenetics and molecular techniques, genetic predispositions, radiation, benzene and its derivatives (depending, etc.)., Chemicals such as pesticides, some hereditary diseases, viral diseases and some studies have shown that they are together, causing leukemia. Leukemia is seen at any age. The most common childhood 2-5 years of age is increasing. Under 1 year of age, 10 new cases, response to treatment over the age of decline.
Veins of any effect of circulating blood cells, mainly consisting of construction of the bone iliğimizdeki master password to change the name of our blasts are immature blood cells increased. These cells spread rapidly and bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, gentlemen, and central nervous system of reserves.
Symptoms: Symptoms of leukemia in children: Anorexia Anemia Slimming Leg bone pain Bleeding under the skin (red spots or bruising) The nose and gum bleeding Fire bulgulardır.Ayrıca first observed signs of spread to organs, such as headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, visual disturbances be important. These symptoms apply to their children's hematology (blood disorders), experts of the examination, mostly liver and spleen enlargement, enlargement of lymph nodes, bleeding signs can be detected.
The blood, bone marrow, cell type and genetic tests to determine the exact result can be diagnosed.
Detailed diagnosis of leukemia types of tests often, treatment will be helpful in determining the principles.
TREATMENT: Treatment begins with the first overall situation, the correction methods. At this stage, special cells in the blood or blood donors (voluntary blood donor people) given by taking the patient with leukemia, infection, made available the necessary struggles, kidneys, liver and heart side effects of chemotherapy drugs are very important to take protection measures.
In addition, patients and families informed about the disease, leukemia is not hopeless, but rather with a good treatment, and moral support of up to 85% improvement in leukemia treatment sağlandığının the second step of disclosure.
FIRST PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT and TREATMENT: Very high doses, for at least 6 different kinds of intravenous and oral drug to give in 4-6 weeks. The aim of the blast, called malignant cells is the elimination of the home.
However, these chemotherapy drugs, unfortunately, does not affect only the bad cells, our body is good, is not as useful cells.

Healthy in the news


Teenagers who spend a lot of time watching television or using computers have poorer inter-personal relationships, research confirms (Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2010; 164: 258-62).

The researchers studied 3043 adolescents aged 14-15, who completed a questionnaire about their screen-time habits and a relationship assessment.

The risk of ‘low attachment’ to parents increased by 4 per cent for every hour spent watching TV and 5 per cent for every hour spent in front of a computer. In contrast, teens who spent more time reading or doing homework had a better relationship with their parents.

An even more pronounced relationship between TV viewing and interpersonal relationships came from their re-analysis of 976 teens interviewed in 1987 and 1988.

In this group, every additional viewing hour led to a 13 per cent increased risk of low attachment to parents and a 24 per cent greater risk of low attachment to peers.

“Recommendations that children watch less television are sometimes met with the concern that being unable to discuss popular shows or characters may inhibit peer relationships,” the authors said.

“The findings herein do not suggest that less television viewing is detrimental to adolescent friendships.”

Vitamin D deficiency increases risk of pelvic floor disorders
2 April 2010

Vitamin D deficiency may put women at higher risk of incontinence and pelvic floor disorders, a study suggests (Obstet Gynaecol 2010; 115: 795-803).

Data from a US national health and nutrition survey showed that women with below normal levels of vitamin D were more likely to have incontinence and one or more pelvic floor disorders, irrespective of age.

Among women aged 50-plus years, vitamin D levels of 30 nanograms/mL or higher appeared to be protective against urinary incontinence.

The researchers showed that for each 5 nanograms/mL increase in vitamin D levels, there was a 6 per cent drop in the risk of pelvic floor disorders when adjusted for age and body mass index (BMI).

One other study showed an association between vitamin D deficiency and bladder problems, suggesting vitamin D might have a role in detrusor muscle (bladder wall muscle) function, the researchers said.

Vitamins

Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. There are 13 vitamins your body needs. They are vitamins A, C, D, E, K and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folate). You can usually get all your vitamins from the foods you eat. Your body can also make vitamins D and K. People who eat a vegetarian diet may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement.
Each vitamin has specific jobs. If you have low levels of certain vitamins, you may develop a deficiency disease. For example, if you don't get enough vitamin D, you could develop rickets. Some vitamins may help prevent medical problems. Vitamin A prevents night blindness.
The best way to get enough vitamins is to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods. In some cases, you may need to take a daily multivitamin for optimal health. However, high doses of some vitamins can make you sick.

Dr. Gursoy's the following explanation is: "some digestive system disorders and can prevent or in some cases, the symptoms eased. Probiotic dairy products healthful properties tell you this about ambitious to talk, found in yeast and bacteria, the characteristics of scientifically revealing, and some Clinical feeding studies should be done. For this reason, and probiotic dairy products produced in our country already is sold with the label is quite incorrect to say that the food would be beneficial. " Maaleshef loophole in the law on this issue in our country has to improve the quality of life and therefore have the labels are doubts about whether. Awareness of the citizens is required. There is a gap there, and there are many manufacturers will benefit from this space. According to the information given by Oguz Gursoy "probiotics", due to effects on intestinal microflora healthy means living microorganisms. Contains billions of bacteria in the digestive tract, the bacteria are in equilibrium, both extremely important for digestion and the immune system. Mikroflorasındaki beneficial intestinal bacteria, with the balance between pathogenic, inadequate nutrition, antibiotic use, such as travel and food poisoning can cause deterioration of.

Arm and leg muscles did not adequate contraction of muscle fatigue is felt. Continuing the increasingly less stimulated muscle contraction, contractile force is reduced. This is because the muscle is tired. This decrease in fatigue and the ability to contract the muscles that move potassium ions in cell proliferation is caused to the environment. During the faliyet November blood, to carry out the muscles and fatigue patasyumu in the muscles to contract is blocked, it is showing lack of potassium. Resting during the potassium channel will return again contraction can take place. And long-unused muscles weak enough works. Should be used when it becomes stiff and begin to ache. Accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles will cause these symptoms. Pain can be prevented by keeping the muscles warm. Thus making more efficient blood circulation can be taken whether the lactic acid quickly. Lumbogo and stiff neck, muscle aches are a harmless way. Sore muscles do not show any disorder.

Obesity Overview


The foods we eat every day contribute to our well-being. Foods provide us with the nutrients we need for healthy bodies and the calories we need for energy. If we eat too much, however, the extra food turns to fat and is stored in our bodies. If we overeat regularly, we gain weight, and if we continue to gain weight, we may become obese.
Obesity means accumulation of excess fat on the body. Obesity is considered a chronic (long-term) disease, like high blood pressure or diabetes. It has many serious long-term consequences for your health, and it is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States (tobacco is the first). Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 30. The BMI is a measure of your weight relative to your height. See eMedicine's Body Mass Index Calculator.
Obesity is an epidemic in the United States and in other developed countries. More than half of Americans are overweight-including at least 1 in 5 children. Nearly one third are obese. Obesity is on the rise in our society because food is abundant and physical activity is optional.
Each year, Americans spend billions of dollars on dieting, diet foods, diet books, diet pills, and the like. Another $45 billion is spent on treating the diseases associated with obesity. Furthermore, businesses suffer an estimated $20 billion loss in productivity each year from absence due to illness caused by obesity.

Present Diseases..



As we know, panic attacks, an increasing importance and attention around the world are gathering over. This deserves attention first because of increasingly widespread use, threatens public health dimension is reached. According to a recent research results from the United States one of every five people panic attack was defined. Every hundred people in our country from the level of panic attacks requiring medical treatment 4'nün problem is thought to be faced with. Hundred people each from 10 'u are waiting for the panic attacks. This is the most important factors that make an important disease. The other is as easy as I thought treated, re-emerged unexpected times is understandable. Physical symptoms of panic attacks watching can be described simply as a psychological syndrome. But also tell patients is not simple as never happened. Kimi is not possible according to the directions feel. These physical symptoms are not usual. Very severe and is experienced as jarring. For example, a very strong heartbeat, as if your heart over the launch, as the accompanying brain buzzing, pressure, feeling as if they had very high blood pressure. Meanwhile increasingly blurred in thoughts of self-enveloping fear of death and the end came-my thoughts and sometimes start with breathing irregularities, seizures are exacerbated, your tongue to your throat, breathing can not believe how many (in fact receive) becomes. Between emergency aid and fainting feeling can still feel the fear of death

Thyroid



Thyroid hormones and ovarian functions so intertwined with each other that the presence of ovarian function in the event of problems with thyroid gland function is evaluated at the beginning of the first stage of diagnosis. Which is a chronic disorder polycystic ovary ovulation (PKO) to understand better about each woman's thyroid gland function is extremely important to have basic knowledge. Governing body's most basic functions of issues belonging to the thyroid gland (thyroid hormones at work, more work, or cloth that occurred during the masses), seen in more women than men. Thyroid gland problems, often tabiyattadır autoimmune (autoimmune diseases, the body's own tissue to one of the unknown reasons, alienation, and this "foreign" tissue immune system from the body to remove attempts to make a result which is a disease. The immune system of the body actually belonging to him, this tissue destruction as the tap function disruption and it related problems are emerging). In women, thyroid gland problems often due to hormonal imbalances are thought to be described in almost every case, and even as the woman does not have any complaints, even thyroid hormone measurement at regular intervals is recommended. Today, still occur even without signs and symptoms of thyroid gland problems may reveal sensitive laboratory measurement methods have been developed.

Cancer



Cancer /ˈkænsə(r)/ ( listen) (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.
Cancer affects people at all ages with the risk for most types increasing with age.[1] Cancer caused about 13% of all human deaths in 2007[2] (7.6 million).[3]
Cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells.[4] These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may randomly occur through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome.
Genetic abnormalities found in cancer typically affect two general classes of genes. Cancer-promoting oncogenes are typically activated in cancer cells, giving those cells new properties, such as hyperactive growth and division, protection against programmed cell death, loss of respect for normal tissue boundaries, and the ability to become established in diverse tissue environments. Tumor suppressor genes are then inactivated in cancer cells, resulting in the loss of normal functions in those cells, such as accurate DNA replication, control over the cell cycle, orientation and adhesion within tissues, and interaction with protective cells of the immune system.
Definitive diagnosis requires the histologic examination of a biopsy specimen, although the initial indication of malignancy can be symptomatic or radiographic imaging abnormalities. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for different varieties of cancer. There has been significant progress in the development of targeted therapy drugs that act specifically on detectable molecular abnormalities in certain tumors, and which minimize damage to normal cells. The prognosis of cancer patients is most influenced by the type of cancer, as well as the stage, or extent of the disease. In addition, histologic grading and the presence of specific molecular markers can also be useful in establishing prognosis, as well as in determining individual treatments.

Good Sleeping!!!



Sleep was long considered just a uniform block of time when youare not awake. Thanks to sleep studies done over the past severaldecades, it is now known that sleep has distinct stages that cyclethroughout the night in predictable patterns. How well rested you areand how well you function depend not just on your total sleep timebut on how much of the various stages of sleep you get each night.Your brain stays active throughout sleep, and each stage of sleepis linked to a distinctive pattern of electrical activity known asbrain waves.Sleep is divided into two basic types: rapid eye movement (REM)sleep and non-REM sleep (with four different stages). (See “Typesof Sleep” on page 5.) Typically, sleep begins with non-REM sleep.In stage 1 non-REM sleep, you sleep lightly and can be awakenedeasily by noises or other disturbances. During this first stage ofsleep, your eyes move slowly, and your muscle activity slows.
