In the first place you will thought your heart will burn because it’s called heartburn but it’s not, your heart not going burn when its attack you. Occasional it is common and no cause for alarm. Some people can manage the discomfort of heartburn on their own with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications.


What is heartburn?

"Heartburn" also known as pyrosis, cardialgia,(In Spanish) or acid indigestion,  is a sensation of burning in the chest caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus or behind the breastbone. The burning is usually in the upper and central part of the chest, just behind the sternum and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw.

The burning can worsen or can be brought on by lying flat or on the right side. If it is severe or got pain with additional symptoms like shortness of breath, radiation into your arms or neck, you had to see a doctor to check your condition it could be more serious which can lead to heart attack. Pregnant are most prone on heartburn.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is the most common cause of heartburn. In this condition acid reflux has led to inflammation of the oesophagus.
Why this heartburn happened?

The esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth to the stomach) has a tight band of muscles at the lower end (lower esophageal sphincter [LES]) that closes after the food enters the stomach and prevents the stomach contents to reenter the esophagus. If this sphincter weakens or relaxes at the wrong time, stomach acid can back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn.


How can we know that, what we felt is heartburn, what symptom?

It is when you feel a burning sensation in the chest. May be with sour taste at the back of the throat, or a feeling that something being stuck in your throat.
If you felt shortness of breath, a radiation to the arms or neck, dizziness or cold sweat.


There are some food that aggravate heartburn such as

• Alcohol, Alcohol can relax the lower esophageal sphincter.
• Coffee and orange or other acidic juices are some of the beverages that can worse or trigger heartburn. Fatty foods, fried foods, and some acidic foods (oranges, grapefruits, tomatoes) as well as spicy foods can cause heartburn. 

Now we know some food that aggravate heartburn, so, when we eat this again and the heartburn attack we have an idea the it’s really the cause. But how can we avoid it this food? We ate it every day, well, that’s yours if you want to avoid this heartburn. take alternative those doesn’t acidic, a remedies for heartburn, alternative/life style change, there is a medication, if you won’t life style change, but note if you choose medication you going to returned again and again to the doctor, or why we don’t do it both medication then life style change much better, so, we have 3 option life styled change to take away acidic food, medication then eating again acidic food because you healed after eating acidic food the heartburn attack you again and last option medication and life style change this is after medication you’re not going to eat again the acidic food, it’s your choice.


In Lifestyle changes

• We take Weight loss program, keeping ideal weight because Excess weight increases the pressure on the stomach, were it will increase the chance of acid reflux into your esophagus.
• Quit smoking: Smoking interferes with the proper functioning of your lower esophageal sphincter.
• Food control: Avoid foods that trigger heartburn Consider keeping a food journal to alert you to foods that make your heartburn worse. Decrease the amount of food you eat.

What trigger heartburn?

• Heartburn is not a reason not to exercise. In fact, weight loss from exercise can actually help heartburn. But don’t exercise on a full stomach. Doing so increases abdominal pressure, which makes heartburn more likely. Wait for about two hours after eating before working out.
• Exercise, like Crunches and abs work can trigger heartburn.
• Body positions that involve bending over increase pressure on the abdomen, thrusting stomach acids back up into the esophagus may aggravate heartburn symptoms.
• Activities such as headstands and yoga moves like downward dog can reverse the natural flow of stomach contents and may trigger heartburn
• Jogging or aerobics, can slosh stomach contents around and upward if you have a weak LES.
• Foods, Large meals and fatty foods, a big greasy burger and super sized serving of fries right before bedtime is a good way to fuel the flame of heartburn.

The Prevention, Medication and Treatment.

• If heartburn occurs when lying down or you are experiencing heartburn at night, Elevate the head of the bed, elevating the head of the bed will decrease reflux.
• Avoid pillows that raise the head only, as this does little for heartburn and places continuous strain on the neck.
• Avoid certain foods that relax the opening between the stomach and esophagus, such as chocolate, peppermint, and chamomile tea shortly before bedtime. It relaxes the opening between the stomach and esophagus.
• Tight clothing, around the abdomen can increase the risk for heartburn because it puts pressure on the stomach that can cause the food and acids in the stomach to reflux to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). So, wear lose cloth when you sleep.
• Avoid overeating. Eat five or six small meals each day, instead of several large meals. Avoid eating before bedtime. Wait for 2 hours to digest your food before lying down. Lying down makes digestion difficult and makes heartburn more likely.

The Over the Counter and prescription medications.

• Medications that neutralize stomach acid (antacids): Antacids (Mylanta, Maalox, Rolaids, Tums) provide quick relieve because they decrease the acid. These medications don't heal existing damage to your esophagus nor prevent future episodes of heartburn.
• Medications that reduce the production of acid: These medications are named after the receptor they block (H-2 blockers) and are available as over-the-counter as well as prescription medications. Their symptom relief tends to last longer than antacids, but it also takes longer for them to start working. They are available as several brands and formulations (ranitidine [Zantac], nizatidine [Axid], cimetidine [Tagamet], famotidine [Pepcid]). Depending on the strength they are available over-the-counter and by prescription.
• Medications that block acid production: Proton pump inhibitors (for example, omeprazole [Prilosec], lansoprazole [Prevacid]) block the production of acid. This then allows healing of the damaged esophagus.

In Surgical procedures.

Laparoscopic surgical procedures are available to treat heartburn. This option is usually only chosen if lifestyle changes and medications have not helped.
But before you take any OTC medication you have to see first your Doctor, how your doctor diagnoses you?


The doctor will evaluate if there is any damage and how severe your heartburn is, the following tests can be do

• Endoscopy: A flexible scope is passed down the esophagus to examine the esophagus as well as the stomach. Biopsies can be taken if indicated. This lets the doctor see if there is any obvious damage, and also eliminate other reasons for the patient's symptoms (foreign body, malignancy).
• Upper GI series (upper GI series): After drinking a liquid that coats the inside of the digestive tract, X-rays are taken. These X-rays will show the outline of the digestive system.
• Ambulatory pH testing: This test measures the acidity in the esophagus via a small tube that goes through the nose into the stomach.

Much better if we know how to prevent heartburn, so, we can live without worries from this heartburn, how we can prevent it?

As it say before a lifestyle changes. Your life style will prevent the heartburn, Stop smoking, lose weight, and watch what you eat (sounds familiar?). If we do this there is no heartburn will happened, there is no mediation too.

How we can get Tetanus?

www.albertahealthservices.ca

www.albertahealthservices.ca2

We can get tetanus everywhere but we can prevent it by immediate and proper medical attention.

What is tetanus?

Tetanus is a fatal disease of the nervous system that is caused by nerve toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. It can be found in the soil and in animal and human intestines.

Tetanus is often associated with rust, like nails. But the rust itself does not cause tetanus nor does it contain more Clostridium tetani bacteria. The rough surface of rusty metal is a prime habitat for Clostridium tetani endospores to reside in.


How can we get tetanus?

When the nails puncture your skin it delivers endospores deep within the body from wound. Infection occurs through wound contamination and often involves a cut or deep puncture wound where the entry for the bacteria. Deep wounds or those with devitalized (dead) tissue are particularly prone to tetanus infection. As the infection progresses, muscle spasms develop in the jaw "lockjaw" and elsewhere in the body.

The bacteria can also be introduced through burns, splinters, or insect bites, any break in the skin, and injection-drug sites where the bacteria can enter. So if you have a wound you should clean it until it heals.


What are the Symptoms of tetanus?

• Mild spasms in the jaw muscles also known as lockjaw.
• Spasms can also affect the chest, neck, back, abdominal muscles, and buttocks.
• Back muscle spasms often cause arching, called opisthotonos.
• Sometimes the spasms affect muscles that help with breathing, which can lead to breathing problems.
• Prolonged muscular action causes sudden, powerful, and painful contractions of muscle groups, which is called "tetany". These episodes can cause fractures and muscle tears. 
• Drooling, excessive sweating, fever, hand or foot spasms, irritability, swallowing difficulty, and uncontrolled urination or defecation.

Incubation period of tetanus

The incubation period of tetanus may be up to several months, but is usually about eight days. In general, the further the injury site is from the central nervous system, the longer the incubation period. The shorter the incubation period, the more severe the symptoms.


There are four different forms of tetanus have been described.

• Generalized tetanus, this is the most common type of tetanus, representing about 80% of cases.
• Neonatal tetanus, this is a form of generalized tetanus that occurs in newborns.
• Local tetanus, this is an uncommon form of the disease, in which patients have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area as the injury.
• Cephalic tetanus this is a rare form of the disease, occasionally occurring with otitis media (ear infections) in which C. tetani is present in the flora of the middle ear, or following injuries to the head.

Is tetanus diagnosed?

• The diagnosis is based on the presentation of tetanus symptoms and does not depend upon isolation of the bacterium, which is recovered from the wound in only 30% of cases and can be isolated from patients without tetanus.
• Laboratory identification of C. tetani can be demonstrated only by production of tetanospasmin in mice.
• The "spatula test" is a clinical test for tetanus that involves touching the posterior pharyngeal wall with a sterile, soft-tipped instrument and observing the effect. A positive test result is the involuntary contraction of the jaw (biting down on the "spatula") and a negative test result would normally be a gag reflex attempting to expel the foreign object.

What is the treatment for tetanus?

• General measures to treat the sources of the bacterial infection with antibiotics and drainage are carried out in the hospital while the patient is monitored for any signs of compromised breathing muscles. 
• Treatment is directed toward stopping toxin production, neutralizing its effects, and controlling muscle spasms. Sedation is often given for muscle spasm, which can lead to life-threatening breathing difficulty.

How is tetanus prevented?

• Active immunization ("tetanus shots") plays an essential role in preventing tetanus.
• Preventative measures to protect the skin from being penetrated by the tetanus
• Bacteria are also important. For instance, precautions should be taken to avoid stepping on nails by wearing shoes.
• If a penetrating wound should occur, it should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water and medical attention should be sought. Finally, passive immunization can be administered in selected cases (with specialized immunoglobulin).

My experience.

We are playing in the backyard in our school, running, jumping anything, when all of the sudden I cant move my right foot already when I look at it, God, I accidentally stepped the 3 inches nail that pin in the lumber which hidden in the grass, I’m wearing a step-in on that time, I was shock, imagine the 3 inches nail goes through your foot, its like you nailed on the cross,  I felt nothing, until it was removed from the nail, its my classmate who help me to remove my foot because I cant do it alone and they brought me to our clinic, Thanks God I didn‘t got a tetanus, it was because of proper and immediate medication. Total cleaning and immediate medication can save us from tetanus.

What is Measles, cause, symptoms and protection?

www.biowiki.org/view/Fall09/MeasleVirus

Measles (Tigdas in Filipino) is very alarming now; it was also declare as epidemic in several areas where many people suffered from this disease. 

For a little information and awareness, what is Measles? What is the cause of this? How we can infect? How to prevent it and how it can be treating? Is it is a serious case?

Measles, also known as Rubeola or morbilli, is a highly infectious illness caused by a virus - a viral infection from virus called rubeola virus.


Back in History, some saying that,

The English word "measles" is thought to come from the Middle Dutch word masel, meaning "blemish". Connected to the Middle English word meseles, the plural of mesel, meaning "infested with tapeworms". The British slang word measly, which appeared in the mid 1860s meaning "meager and contemptible" was an adaptation of the modern word "measles" which had become established before that time.


What is the cause of measles? How can we infected by this?

Measles is a highly contagious, serious disease caused by a rubeola virus in the paramyxovirus family. The measles virus normally grows in the mucus of the nose and in the cells that line the back of the throat and lungs. The infected person is contagious for four days before the rash appears, and continues so for about four to five days afterwards.

 
How we become infected?

• By Physical contact with an infected person.
• By being nearby infected people if they cough or sneeze.
• By touching a surface that has infected droplets of mucus, and then putting your fingers into your mouth, rubbing your nose or eyes. (The virus remains active for two hours)
• As soon as it enters the body the virus multiplies in the back of the throat, lungs and the lymphatic system. It later infects and replicates in the urinary tract, eyes, blood vessels and central nervous system.
• It takes from 1 to 3 weeks for the virus to establish itself. However people show symptoms 9-11 days after infection.

What are the symptoms of the Measles?

• Coryza - runny nose.
• Dry hacking cough.
• Conjunctivitis - swollen eyelids, inflamed eyes.
• Watery eyes.
• Photophobia - sensitivity to light.
• Sneezing.
• Fever - this may be mild to severe and can reach 105F (40.6C) for a number of days. Fever may drop, and then rise again when the rash appears.Very small grayish-white spots with bluish-white centers in the mouth, insides of cheeks, and throat. Aches generally all over the body. Rashes, 3 to 4 days after initial symptoms a reddish-brown spotty rash appears. The rash can last for over a week. It usually starts behind the ears and spreads all over the head and neck. After a couple of days it spreads to the rest of the body, including the hand and legs. Although all rashes are not measles, but you should take your child to the doctor to make sure.

Who are the most prone of this measles?

• The Children with immunodeficiency due to HIV or AIDS, leukemia, alkylating agents, or corticosteroid therapy, regardless of immunization status.
• The Travelers to areas where measles is endemic or contact with travelers to endemic areas
• The Infants who lose passive antibody before the age
• Those under Malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency and Pregnant.

How it can be diagnose?

By Clinical diagnosis, the measles requires a history of fever of at least three days, with at least one of the three C's (cough, coryza, conjunctivitis). Observation of Koplik's spots is also diagnostic of measles.
By Laboratory test, diagnosis of measles can be done with confirmation of positive measles IgM antibodies or isolation of measles virus RNA from respiratory specimens. In patients where phlebotomy is not possible, saliva can be collected for salivary measles-specific IgA testing. Positive contact with other patients known to have measles adds strong epidemiological evidence to the diagnosis. The contact with any infected person in any way, including semen through sex, saliva, or mucus, can cause infection.


How it can be treated?

There is no specific treatment for measles. Most patients with uncomplicated measles will recover with rest and supportive treatment. It is, however, important to seek medical advice if the patient becomes more unwell.

All other treatment addresses symptoms, with ibuprofen, or acetaminophen (paracetamol) to reduce fever and pain and, if required, a fast-acting bronchodilator for cough.


If you child had a measles the following measures may help:

• Fever - if the temperature is high try to keep the child cool, but make sure he/she is not cold. Tylenol (paracetamol, acetaminophen) or ibuprofen is effective in controlling fever, as well as aches and pain. Children under 16 should not be given aspirin. Check with your doctor about acetaminophen dosage - too much can harm the child, especially the liver.
• Smoking- do not let anyone smoke near the child with measles.
• Photophobia - as the child may be painfully sensitive to light, keeping the lights dim or the room darkened may help. Sunglasses may also help.
• Conjunctivitis- if there is crustiness around the eyes gently cleans with damp cotton wool.
• Cough - cough medicines will not relieve the cough. Making the room more humid by placing a bowl of water may help the cough. If the child is over twelve a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of honey may help. Do not give honey to babies.
• Dehydration - make sure the child is hydrated. If the child has a fever he/she can become dehydrated more quickly. Encourage the child to drink plenty of fluids.
• Isolation - while children are contagious they should be kept away from school and should not return to activities that involve human interaction. Non-immunized people who have never had measles should be kept out of the house.
• Vitamin A supplements significantly help prevent complications caused by measles. Supplements are recommended for children with vitamin A deficiency and children under the age of two who have severe measles.
• As measles is caused by a virus antibioticswill not have any effect on it. However, sometimes antibiotics may be prescribed for any infections that may develop.

Complication from measles.

Complications from measles are fairly common, and are more likely to get worse for patients who have weak immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or leukemia, those with vitamin deficiency, and very young children. Adults over the age of 20 are more likely to have complications than healthy children over the age of 5.


Others complication, which may include:

• Diarrhea, Vomiting and Eye infection.
• Laryngitis and bronchitis- laryngitisis inflammation of the voice box. Bronchitisis inflammation of the inner walls that line the main air passageways. About 4% of people with measles have difficulties breathing.
• Otitis media - inner ear infection and inflammation.
• Febrile convulsion - fits caused by fever. Occurs in 1 in 200 cases. May be alarming, but children usually make a full recovery.
• Pneumonia - patients with weakened immune system who develop measles are vulnerable to an especially dangerous type of pneumonia (Streptococcus pneumoniae) which can be fatal.

Less common complications are also possible:
 

• Hepatitis- liver complications in childhood measles is rare and temporary. However, it can be severe in children receiving hepatotoxic drugs (medications which may be toxic to the liver). Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) can harm the liver if the dose is too high. Check acetaminophen dosage with your doctor if you wish to use it to treat fever.
• Encephalitis- approximately 1 in every 1,000 patients with measles develops encephalitis. This is an inflammation of the brain which may cause vomiting, and convulsions. Coma and even death is possible, but rare. Encephalitis may occur soon after measles, or several years later.
• Thrombocytopenia - low platelet count. The blood's ability to clot is affected. The patient may bruise easily.
• Squint - eye nerves and eye muscles may be affected.

Very rare complications, but possible:

• Neuritis- infection of the optic nerve, which can lead to blindness.
• Heart complications, if you have a heart problem

Pregnancy complications
 
Measles during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, premature labor, or low birth weights. If you are planning to get pregnant and have not been vaccinated against measles talk to your doctor about getting the MMR jab.


When should children be vaccinated?

Children should receive the MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) vaccine when they are between 12 and 15 months of age, and then again (a booster) before entering school when they are 4-6 years old.
Sometimes babies require vaccination before they are 12 months old. This may happen if there is a serious outbreak in their area, or if they are going to travel to an area with a serious outbreak. In such cases they can receive the vaccination from the age of 6 months, and will need a booster when they are 12 months old.
Measles is a disease caused by a virus. Measles spreads very easily among people. Usually, individuals who have measles recover in a week or two, but some people have serious complications.


How can we protect our self from measles?

• Vaccination is the best way to prevent measles.
• Vaccination of all members of the household is necessary to prevent the spread of the illness.
• Children who are 12 months or older are encouraged to get their first dose of MMR (Mumps, Measles, and Rubella) vaccine as soon as possible.
• Call your Doctor If you believe you did not receive a measles shot or if you are not sure if you have had the vaccine.
• Washing your hands often covering your cough and sneeze staying home when you are sick.
• Avoid sharing of beverages and eating utensils with person you didn’t know very well, the measles virus can survive for up to two hours in the air.
• Stay home and try to avoid contact with other people.This is a serious disease we should be aware.

All written in this article is for information and awareness only, if you feel symptoms in you self exactly alike in this article, the best thing is to consult to your doctor.

How can we treat Heat strokes?

Source: www.medicinenet.com

I have a friend, after his basketball game, while he is resting, he suddenly fell and die, after the diagnosis the doctor said he died on heatstroke. I have known many people died on heatstroke. Since then I start to be curious about this heat stroke what is this heatstroke? Heatstroke is a heat illness and it can be fatal, it’s a form of hyperthermia that a body temperature raises to a greater than normal about 40.6 °C (105.1 °F) due to environmental heat exposure like what happened to my friend they played basketball in an open area under the heat of the sun.

Heatstroke is an abnormally elevated body temperature with accompanying physical symptoms including changes in the nervous system function. Unlike heat cramps and heat exhaustion, two other forms of hyperthermia

Heat stroke is also sometimes referred to as heatstroke or sun stroke. Take note Heat stroke is not the same as a stroke. "Stroke" is the general term used to describe decreased oxygen flow to an area of the brain.

How it happened?

Our body normally generates heat as a result of metabolism, and is usually able to dissipate the heat by radiation of heat through the skin or by evaporation of sweat. but in extreme heat, high humidity, or vigorous physical exertion under the sun, the body may not be able to dissipate the heat and the body temperature rises, sometimes up to 106 F (41.1 C) or higher. One cause of heat stroke is dehydration. If you are dehydrated you may not be able to sweat fast that enough to dissipate heat that causes our body temperature to rise above the normal.


Who are the most susceptible at risk individuals to heat strokes?

• They are the infants, the elderly, athletes, military recruits. And individuals who work outside and physically exposed under the heat of the sun.
• Also Pets are even more susceptible than humans to heat stroke in cars, as dogs (the animals usually involved), cats and many other animals cannot produce whole body sweat.

What are the symptoms and signs of heat stroke sometimes it begins with heat exhaustion then followed by?

Nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, headache, muscle cramps and aches, and dizziness. Not all people got the same symptoms others have a different symptom but the Common symptoms and signs are; high body temperature, the absence of sweating, with hot red or flushed dry skin, rapid pulse, difficulty breathing, strange behavior, hallucinations, confusion, agitation, disorientation, seizure, and/or coma.


In children, how they can be a victim of heatstroke? 

• Parent should be responsible by this, when they are left and unattended locked in car they can suffer heat-related illness quickly, temperature of a locked car can rise to dangerous levels even in moderate weather. 
• Infants who overly bundled in their cribs. 
• Older children and teens athletes who train in hot environmental conditions.

What can we do to treat a heat stroke victim?

• First and foremost, cool the victim.
• Get the victim to a shady area, remove clothing, apply cool or tepid water to the skin
  fan the victim to promote sweating and evaporation, and place ice packs under the armpits and groin.
• Have them drink cool water or other cool beverages that do not contain alcohol or caffeine, if they can drink.
• Monitor body temperature with a thermometer and continue cooling efforts until the body temperature drops

How can heat stroke be prevented?

• Drink plenty of fluids (such as water and sports drinks), electrolytes drink (such as sodium) If you have to perform physical activities in hot weather, but avoid alcohol, caffeine, soft drinks and tea (tea can lead to dehydration.)
• Take breaks frequently to hydrate you. Wear hats and light-color, lightweight, loose clothes.
• Don’t you ever, ever leave infants or children in unattended locked car. The heat temperature inside of the car are double than the heat in the outside at the right exterior temperature, sunlight, color of vehicle, and type of vehicle.
• Checking the van or bus for stragglers at the end of the trip is essential, or a head count.
• Leaving the pet at home with plenty of water on hot days is recommended instead, or, if a dog must be brought along, tied up outside the destination and provided with a full water bowl.
• Wear light clothing like cotton in light colors that is pervious to sweat but impervious to radiant heat from the sun. It minimizes the gaining of radiant heat, while allowing as much evaporation to occur as the environment will allow.
• Don’t wear Clothing like plastic fabrics that are impermeable to sweat and thus do not facilitate heat loss through evaporation can actually contribute to heat stress.
• Drink plenty of liquids to replace fluids lost from sweating, especially in hot weather condition

The risk of heatstroke can be reduced by observing precautions to avoid overheating and dehydration. Light, loose-fitting clothing will allow perspiration to evaporate and cool the body.

Some person can develop symptoms of heat stroke suddenly and rapidly without warning.
