A lot of people still have little knowledge about Parkinson Disease, which is why not a lot of them are able to fully describe and define what it is exactly. They might know that one particular actor, Michael J. Fox, has that disease, but that might be the extent of what they know. Fortunately for you, you don’t have to be on the same boat as those people. This article will offer you information about what Parkinson Disease really is, so just read on. Parkinson’s Disease is actually named after a British physician, Dr. James Parkinson, as he was the first person to systematically describe the disease in 1817, although it was a Jean-Martin Charcot who coined the term “Parkinson’s Disease” later on. James Parkinson was able to describe the disease by observing six patients on their daily walks, all of whom were experiencing the symptoms of the disease. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is actually a degenerative disease that affects your central nervous system, causing some impairment on a person’s speech, motor skills, and other functions. This means that the sufferer will experience rigidity in the muscles, tremors, postural instability, repetitive rapid movements, and the slowing or complete absence of physical movement, mainly due to the gradual loss of cells in the brain, thereby resulting in the loss of vital chemicals called “dopamine”. Although the symptoms could vary from one person to another, still, these basic symptoms are more or less present with those suffering form the disease. The part of the brain that is affected by this disease is actually referred to as the substantia nigra, which is responsible for producing and releasing dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control your body’s movement and coordination by sending chemical signals from the brain to your nervous system and to your body. Parkinson Disease actually causes groups of dopamine-producing cells to malfunction and die, thereby causing a shortage in the amount of dopamine in the body. This means that chemical signals from the brain dictating the body how to move are being delivered more slowly, leaving the sufferer incapable of controlling his body’s movements in a normal way. This disease is actually chronic and progressive, which signifies that the symptoms and condition will only get worse and worse over time. Though not considered fatal on its own, due to the progressive nature of the disease, complications may arise on the late stages of the disease that can cause the death of the sufferer.

Sjogren’s Syndrome is a chronic and incurable disorder of the autoimmune system in the body, wherein the exocrine glands of the person afflicted with the disease come under attack by the body’s own immune cells, causing them to malfunction and cease their production of saliva and tears. These exocrine glands are moisture-producing glands, and are responsible for producing tears and saliva. If attacked by this autoimmune system disease, then the person experiencing the condition will experience dryness of the mouth and eyes. Basically, our immune systems actually work by protecting our bodies from harmful invading cells or organisms, such as bacteria and viruses. What our autoimmune cells basically do is destroy these harmful invading organisms in order to prevent them from doing any damage. However, a person experiencing Sjogren’s Syndrome will actually have his own immune cells attack his own exocrine glands, thereby causing damage on those glands, preventing them from functioning properly. There is a change that occurs in a Sjogren’s Syndrome afflicted person’s immune system, causing the subject to lose the usual controls that his body has on his immune cells, causing white blood cells to invade and destroy the moisture producing glands in the body. As a result, the person will have difficulty producing tears and saliva, as he was normally able to do prior to the disease.

Typically, a person urinates four to eight times a day. Needing to go more than eight times a day or waking up in the middle of the night just to relieve oneself is a different story. This is called frequent urination. Either you drank too much before sleeping or it could be a signal to some health conditions (if it becomes regular). It is important to distinguish ‘frequent urination’ (frequent trips to the bathroom) as against ‘excessive urination’ (production of too much urine leading to frequent urination). Frequent urination means needing to urinate more often than usual. Urgent urination is a sudden, compelling urge to urinate, along with bladder discomfort. The frequent need to urinate at night is called nocturia. Although most people can sleep for 6 to 8 hours without having to urinate, some middle aged or older men and women often wake up in early morning hours to urinate.

When to Call the Doctor Sample Content Preview What Is a Migraine? It is estimated that there are over 29.5 million Americans who are suffering from migraine. It is said the number is also significant on a global basis. But what exactly is this condition and why do most people fear it? Is it fatal? To begin with, migraine is a severe and very discomforting form of headache. It should not be perceived and taken as an ordinary headache, though. Most of its sufferers would argue that it is definitely worse. Patients describe the condition as characterized by throbbing or pulsing pain in a specific area in the head. Interesting and notable information about migraine is that it occurs about threefold more common in women than in men. Experts also note that the condition is often encountered by people who are in the age range of about 15 years to 55 years. About 70% to 80% of migraine sufferers are noted of having the condition in the family history. Then, about half of migraine patients are receiving diagnosis from healthcare providers. In many cases, this vascular headache form is misdiagnosed or mistaken for tension-type headache or sinus headache. This could be because of the common symptoms and manifestations. Symptoms could vary among different patients. Manifestations, prior to, during, and post migraine attacks could be varied, making it harder to tell if someone is under migraine attack. The common symptoms are as follows: typical pain on a single side of the head; pulsating or throbbing pain; vomiting or nausea; moderate to intense feeling of pain that could affect daily activities; headaches lasting up to three days; sensitivity to sound and light; visual disturbance; and worsening headache when climbing stairs or walking. Many patients also assert that migraine attacks could be comparatively unbearable as opposed to common types of headaches.

A cord blood bank is an establishment that stores umbilical cord blood for a person’s future use. Since the early 1990s, in response to the wide potential for cord blood transplants, both public and private cord blood banks have been established. Umbilical cord blood has hematopoietic stem cell that allows formation of new blood cells. It is now effectively used to treat diseases and disorders common in vascular and immune system.  However, there are some critics that do not suggest storing cord bloods to a private bank. A public cord blood bank stores umbilical cord blood for anyone in need and is supported by the medical community.  However, in order to operate, a public bank should follow very strict standards and operations. Basically, a pregnant woman who is considering donation should contact the bank before her 34th week of pregnancy. Some organizations including the National Marrow Donor Program help individuals to identify public banks that are trusted and accredited by the government and other institutions.  Once the cord blood is donated, it will be tested for diseases and genetic adaptability. All identifying information is then erased so the families will not be able to retrieve the blood once a donation occurs.

Behcet disease has different names that it is known for. For instance, it is also known as Behcet’s syndrome, Morbus Behcet, or the Silk Road disease. Simply put, Behcet disease is a form of vasculitis that will then lead to ulcerations and other kinds of lesions. It is interpreted as a chronic disruption to the normal functioning of the body’s immune system. The immune system is the body’s system that normally protects the body against various infections via controlled inflammation. In Behcet disease, the immune system becomes overactive and results in unpredictable outbreaks of inflammation that has been exaggerated. This exaggerated inflammation affects the blood vessels, especially the small ones like the capillaries. As a result of the aforementioned condition, symptoms then occur whenever there is a presence of an inflammation, which is, in fact, anywhere where there is a blood supply. Why is it called Behcet disease?

Definition Bad breath is normal to everyone and it occurs when you ingest certain foods that give off an unpleasant smell, when you don’t eat enough and during the morning before brushing teeth. Having bad breath is perfectly normal but if it doesn’t go away despite brushing your teeth, then that could be an oral problem known as halitosis. Halitosis simply means bad breath and this could either be acute or chronic depending on what causes it. For mild cases, it might simply mean that a patient would need to brush his teeth more and as for severe cases, this could indicate gum disease or intestinal problems. You Have Halitosis When As stated earlier, bad breath will happen to everyone at certain points of time but if the stench is out of control, then that is one sure sign that you have halitosis. You know that it is out of control when you can actually taste the smell frequently in your mouth and if a lot of people have given you bad comments about how your breath smells. This is also manifested if you have thick saliva often and no matter what you do, nothing seems to improve it.
