LUPUS ERITEMATOSO SISTÉMICO

What is the "lupus" and what causes it?

It is a disease that in addition to affecting the joints and muscles, skin and can damage almost every organ of the body. The exact cause is unknown. It is believed that viral infections or the action of other agents that exist in the environment are those that trigger the disease, causing the reaction of the body's defense cells, wich produce antibodies against the individual. For this reason it is called as an autoimmune disease.

Seems to be a polygenic genetic predisposition, influenced by environmental factors, which facilitates the particular reaction of defense cells and hormones seem to matter, explaining that it is much more common in women than in men.

It seems clear the negative influence of contraceptives in SLE, suggesting that estrogen plays an important role in disease. However, menopause does not seem to affect the development of the disease, although the patients who develop SLE after it, have a less severe disease.

What symptoms gives the "lupus"?

•While it is likely that these symptoms may not appear in most cases, they should know them:
General: easy fatigue, unexplained weight loss and prolonged fever not due to any infection.
Joint and muscle pain and inflammation of the joints (arthritis), especially the fingers, wrists, elbows, knees and feet, or muscle aches.
•Skin: the best known is called "butterfly rash", which consists of a flushing of the cheeks and nose. Often hair loss is recovered with treatment and skin sensitivity to sunlight so sick that TB should use sun protection creams (sun protection factor greater than 15 and for lightning protection ultraviolet A and B) and use of clothing that covers the entire body as possible to avoid a possible reactivation of the disease.
•Heart and lungs may cause inflammation of the lining of the lung or heart (pericarditis or pleuritis), causing chest pain or side and sometimes fever, which usually respond well to treatment. In very rare cases can affect the heart valves or the heart or lungs causing respiratory failure.
•Kidney: is affected by frequency and severity is very variable, soliendo be treated successfully. Most often, inflammation or nephritis, which causes are not eliminated or waste products from the body and accumulate in the blood (urea) or other substances are removed in the urine, such as proteins, thus causing swelling of face or legs. Sometimes kidney injury causes increased blood pressure. Most of these conditions do not cause symptoms so it is convenient to carry out periodic checks to detect analysis.
•Brain and nervous system: the neurological complications of SLE are more common than you think and they are difficult to diagnose. They can range from a psychotic episode, to headaches, cognitive deficits or depression, and in rare cases other manifestations such as epilepsy or behavioral disorders. Sometimes, anticoagulation is a measure to consider if it is proven thrombotic cause. The involvement of SLE neuropsiquiátrcia reached, according to authors, up to 50% of those affected.
•Early Atherosclerosis: Do not know the cause but over time, these patients develop atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. This alone justifies the removal of all known additional risk factors.
•Infections and "lupus". Patients are more susceptible to infection by the disease itself and sometimes the treatments used, so you should always consult a doctor if fever appear.
•Problems with pregnancy. The patient with "lupus" is equally healthy fertile women, although with a slightly higher risk of having abortions and premature births, which happens more frequently in those with some antibodies in the blood called antiphospholipid. The formal contraindications of pregnancy are when the "lupus" is active, there are complications of the disease such as nephritis or are taking medications that are harmful to the fetus. If there are no such circumstances, the pregnancy need not be discouraged. Children are born as healthy as the rest, although they and the rest of the family are more prone to the disease.
•Birth Control. If the disease is active birth control is necessary, preferably with condoms and creams to increase the barrier to sperm, and that the pill could cause outbreaks of disease and the IUD may encourage some infections, although the latter is not bad measure.

ENFERMEDAD DEL VIH SIDA

AIDS (AIDS, which stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS in English) is a disease that affects humans infected by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). They say a person has AIDS when his body due to immunosuppression caused by HIV, is not capable of providing an adequate immune response against infections that afflict humans. It is said that this infection is incontrovertible.Note the difference between being infected by HIV and suffering from AIDS. A person infected with HIV is HIV positive and goes on to develop a cadre of AIDS when their CD4 T cell levels (which are the type of cells that attack the virus) falls below 200 cells per milliliter of blood.HIV is transmitted through body fluids (such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, breast milk). [1] The World Day against AIDS is celebrated on December 1.

Diabetes Mellitus

diabetes mellitus

Diabetes mellitus (DM) or diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders , which affects different organs and tissues is lifelong and is characterized by increased levels of blood glucose: hyperglycaemia. It is caused by various conditions, including low production of the hormone insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells, or by its improper use by the body, that will affect the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. The main symptoms of diabetes mellitus are excessive emission of urine (polyuria), increased the need abnormal eating (polyphagia), increased thirst (polydipsia), and weight loss for no apparent reason. The World Health recognizes three forms of diabetes mellitus: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes (occurs during pregnancy), each with different reasons and with different influence. Several pathological processes are involved in the development of diabetes, an autoimmune impart a characteristic of type 1 diabetes mellitus, hereditary and body resistance to insulin action, as in type 2 DM. By 2000, it was estimated that about 171 million people had diabetes in the world and will reach 370 million in 2030. This condition causes a variety of complications, often damaging the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels. Acute complications (hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma) result from inadequate control of the disease while chronic complications (cardiovascular, nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy and microvascular damage) are caused by disease progression. The World Diabetes Day is celebrated on 14 November.

symptoms

In the event that has not yet been diagnosed with DM or started your treatment, or who is not well treated, they may find the following signs (derived from an excess of glucose in blood, either point or continuous):Signs and symptoms most common:Polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia.Weight loss despite polyphagia.Fatigue or tiredness.Changes in visual acuity.Less common signs and symptoms:Vaginitis in women, balanitis in men.Appearance of glucose in the urine or urine with a sweet taste.Absence of menstruation in women.Appearance of impotence in men.Abdominal pain.Tingling or numbness in hands and feet, dry skin, sores or wounds that heal slowly.Weakness.Irritability.Mood swings.Nausea and vomiting.Breath smells like apples.

Rmedy

Diabetes is an excess of sugar in the blood. It occurs when the pancreas does not produce the hormone insulin or does so insufficiently Without enough insulin, or with little of it, the blood sugar rises causing frequent urination, constant thirst, weakness, fatigue, and cardiovascular and renal damage.There are two main types of diabetes. The more serious but less common is the type I, which affects children and sometimes young adults. In these cases, affected people must inject insulin because their pancreas does not produce.

INFLUENZA =DD

What is influenza?
Respiratory disease caused by a highly contagious virus, there are three different types of viruses (A, B, C) which can mutate (change), and there are several subtypes. It is more common in fall and winter. It is important because it affects all ages, and major mutations of the virus usually causes serious complications and even death in a large number of people, often children and the elderly.

How is influenza spread?
From person to person through secretions from the nose and mouth (coughing, sneezing, talking, singing) or by direct contact (hands, when the patient does not wash them, kissing). It is highly infectious (3-7 days after onset of symptoms) and more risky when it occurs indoors (rooms, kindergartens, schools, nursing homes, shelters, etc.). It is estimated that an epidemic before it could travel the world in a period of 3 to 6 months.

What are the signs or symptoms to suspect influenza?
Sudden onset (the patient remembers well the time of onset) with fever, headache, pain in muscles and joints, fatigue, watery eyes, sore throat and cough.

General ecommendations:

1. Keep warm and avoid sudden temperature changes.

2. Eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A and C (carrot, papaya, guava, orange, tangerine, lime, lemon and pineapple).

3. Wash hands frequently, especially after contact with patients.

4. Avoid exposure to air pollution, not smoking indoors or around children, elderly or sick people.
What steps are recommended for those suffering from influenza?

1. Stay home, avoid going to workplaces, schools or places where concentrations of people there (theaters, cinemas, bars, buses, subways, nightclubs, parties, etc). This will prevent others from becoming infected through you.

2. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when talking, coughing, sneezing. This will prevent the people around you sick.
3. Avoid touching eyes, mouth and nose because the virus is spread when a person touches a contaminated object and then touching the eyes, mouth or nariz.4. Influenza can be prevented through the application of a vaccine that is prepared according to the type of virus circulating in the world), each year.5 immunization requirements. Avoid dust and smoke snuff and other substances that can interfere with breathing and makes children more likely to get sick.

genital herpes

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2 type. Most people infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2 have no signs or symptoms of infection or have minimal symptoms. When signs are manifested, usually do so in the form of one or more blisters on the genitals or rectum or around them. The blisters break, forming painful ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but almost always is less severe and of shorter duration. Although the infection can stay indefinitely in the body, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease as they age. Results from a nationally representative study show that genital herpes is of frequent occurrence in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people 12 and older or one in five adolescents and adults, have had HSV infection. Over the last decade, the percentage of Americans with genital herpes infection has decreased. Genital infection with HSV-2 is more common in women (approximately one in four women) than men (approximately one in eight men). This may be because it is more likely to occur from male to female transmission than female to male transmission. HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in the wounds caused by viruses and released from the same, but between virus outbreak and the outbreak may also be released through the skin that has no sores. Generally, a person can only become infected with HSV-2 during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know they are infected. HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, also called "fever blisters." The HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with someone who has HSV-1. Outbreaks of genital HSV-1 recur less regularly than outbreaks of genital HSV-2. Most people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection. However, if signs and symptoms during the first outbreak can be quite pronounced. The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks following the transmission of the virus and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second series of sores and flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. However, most people with HSV-2 infection never have sores, or they may have very mild signs that go unnoticed or are mistaken for insect bites or other skin conditions. Most people who have been diagnosed with a first case of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a period of one year. Usually, these recurrences reduce in frequency as time passes. It is possible that the person to realize he had a case of genital herpes acquired years after infection. There is no treatment that can cure herpes, but antiviral medications can shorten and prevent outbreaks during the time the person takes drugs. Additionally, therapy daily surprise symptomatic herpes can reduce the possibility of transmission to sexual partners of infected persons.
