What is AMD?

AMD is the most common form of illness masculí, the impact on the central part of the retina.

It is a time and usually develops after a person reaches 50 years.

Usually, both eyes, but it would not be affected by the same time or at the same level.

More than 90% of these cases are dry AMD, which can not be treated, but 10% are wet ADM.

Dry AMD means visual cells simply stopped working.

Wet AMD is by far the most aggressive of the disease.

The state is determined by the growth of new blood vessels in the center of the retina.

They can leak fluid, that the scar tissue to form and destroy central vision in two months and three years.

The peripheral vision remains. The State fails to reading, small objects and distorted vision.

What are the symptoms?

In the early stages of AMD, central and May blurred or distorted vision. Objects May be a little size or shape.

This process can develop quickly or over several months.

People with the disease can be very sensitive to light or see the lights that do not exist.

It May be few complaints, but in general, the state is not painful.

How is it treated AMD?

Photo dynamic therapy (PDT) is the first effective treatment to correct the wet AMD.

It is a relatively new treatment method for the first time in the United Kingdom in 1999 by doctors at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

PDT should be about one third of patients with wet AMD, it is only effective if the condition is that as soon as possible.

It is the injection of a light-sensitive dye called Visudyne in the body, in the lining of abnormal blood vessels in the retina. The process takes about half an hour.

In the light shone in the region through a contact lens, the activation of dyes and damage abnormal blood vessels.

From May treatment must be repeated every three months and cost £ 900.

Side effects include pain in the back, a response to light and a temporary loss of vision by about 3% of cases.

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommended that the PDT is available on the NHS - but only for some patients.

Scientists are also working on new therapies, injection drug directly into the eyes.

Acne is a skin inflammation that causes spots.

Spots result of the introduction of dead skin cells and fats that block pores or hair follicles, usually on the face, arms, upper back and chest.

It is not contagious and has nothing to do with not be clean.

Hormonal changes, such as those associated with puberty, menstruation and pregnancy, can contribute to acne.

Some drugs also make matters worse, including some contraceptive pills and steroids.

Most people experience acne at some point in their lives, more often than young adults. Girls tend to develop earlier than boys - around 14-17 years compared to 16-19 years, respectively.

Acne can occur later in life. About five percent of women and one percent of men aged 25-40 continue to have acne after adolescence.

The exodus of nurses philippines for employment in the United Kingdom met the health system of their country of origin under strain.

Three hospitals in Surrey have already received 120 philippines nurses and other units, desperate for new nurses are called to follow their example. The Royal College of Nursing found that nurses are 13000 vacancies in the NHS.

Hector Nazareno, a surgeon at a specialist unit in the Philippines, said more than 50% of nurses, he worked with little left for lucrative jobs in the United Kingdom.

"This is a special unit. It features a lot of problems. We have to train nurses to work and then after two or three years their departure. "

Gertrudis wiring patient is critical of the way nurses are jumping ship.

She said: "I think it is deplorable that instead work in their own country these nurses are attracted to Britain. I suppose I do not blame them given the huge salaries overseas. "

Philippine Nurse Circulatory SystemThe circulatory system is the system of transporting the body. It is composed of a group of bodies that carry blood throughout the body. The heart pumps blood in the arteries and veins of transportation. Blood oxygen-rich leaves the left side of the heart and spends most artery, called the aorta. The aorta branches in small arteries, which at the same branch smaller vessels that travel throughout the body. When blood enters the smallest blood vessels, called capillaries, and can be found in the tissues, it provides nutrients and oxygen to cells, and takes into carbon dioxide, water and waste. The blood, which contains more oxygen and nutrients, and then goes back to the heart through the veins. Veins carry waste out of blood cells and to bring back to heart, which pumps it to the lungs to take in oxygen and remove waste carbon dioxide.

Blood Flows in this order:
  1. The superior (a) and inferior (b) vena cava are the main veins that receive blood from the body. The superior vena cava drains the head and arms, and the inferior vena cava drains the lower body.
  2. The right atrium receives blood from the body via the vena cavae. The atria are on the top in the heart.
  3. The blood then passes through the right atrioventricular valve, which is forced shut when the ventricles contract, preventing blood from reentering the atrium.
  4. The blood goes into the right ventricle (note that it has a thinner wall; it only pumps to lungs). The ventricles are on the bottom of the heart.
  5. The right semilunar valve marks the beginning of the artery. Again, it is supposed to close to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricle.

  6. The pulmonary artery or pulmonary trunk is the main artery taking deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
  7. Blood goes to the right and left lungs, where capillaries are in close contact with the thin-walled alveoli so the blood can release CO2 and pick up O2.
  8. From the lungs, the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood back into the heart.
  9. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
  10. The blood passes through the left atrioventricular valve.
  11. The blood enters the left ventricle. Note the thickened wall; the left ventricle must pump blood throughout the whole body.
  12. The blood passes through the left semilunar valve at the beginning of the aorta.
  13. The aorta is the main artery to the body. One of the first arteries to branch off is the coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart muscle itself so it can pump. The coronary artery goes around the heart like a crown. A blockage of the coronary artery or one of its branches is very serious because this can cause portions of the heart to die if they don’t get nutrients and oxygen. This is a coronary heart attack. From the capillaries in the heart muscle, the blood flows back through the coronary vein, which lies on top of the artery.
  14. The aorta divides into arteries to distribute blood to the body.
  15. Small arteries are called arterioles.
  16. The smallest vessels are the capillaries.
  17. These join again to form venules, the smallest of the veins.
  18. These, in turn, join to form the larger veins, which carry the blood back to the superior and inferior vena cava.

Maintain a balanced diet is one of the obstacles difficult to type 2 diabetes mellitus patients endure every day. It is the primary intervention or management to prevent attacks have hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Variety of food supplements are coming into the market which promises therapeutic effects or aid to a certain disease or illness. Thousands of these types have the same content but different names and marketing strategies to attract consumers.

Supplemental nutrients are needed for those who suffer from diabetes mellitus non-insulin dependent, since not all the nutrients they need are can be found in most of our daily diet. They need something that can help metabolize blood sugar more effectively than others. The Food Control in patients with diabetes might also help prevent the development of certain complications such as neuropathy, which could lead to more problems and restrictions of lifestyle usual.

A balance that covers diet food pyramid is the right diet not only for those who have diabetes mellitus, but for all of us. But for some reason, it is not easy to follow the dietary needs to complete the body of the nutrients needed.

The reason for rampant use of food supplements is popular in the world, it is because some of the food we need to get a well-balanced diet because of the lifestyle that we have occupied. Problems such as high blood pressure is also a concern by many because of nothing else but bad food.

Food allergies are often misunderstood, even if the recognition of the society, and education on the condition is rising. See if you heard - or believes - one of the following myths about food allergies:

1. "You're" allergic "to any food that gives you problems." This assertion is false, because there are several problems that can occur after eating specific foods, the majority of whom are unrelated to the allergy. True food allergies are immunological reactions involving the class of immunoglobulin (proteins that help the body's immune response) known as immunoglobulins (Ig) E. Other types of reactions to foods that are not food allergies include food (such as milk or lactose intolerance), food poisoning and toxic reactions. The prevalence of food allergy in the population is much lower than the prevalence of adverse reactions to foods. It is estimated that the true food allergies occur in 2-5% of the population.

2. "All food allergies among children resolve as they age." As they grow older, some children can tolerate foods that previously caused allergic reactions. This is more likely to occur in the case of allergies to milk, eggs, and wheat, whose seriousness of the reactions (or symptoms) can decrease towards the end of childhood. It is not clear in all cases, however, if the improvement of symptoms are an indication that the allergy has disappeared. For example, in wheat allergy (celiac disease) can improve symptoms but mild allergic reaction continues in the intestine, and symptoms and signs of allergy may recur years later. On the other hand, milk allergy seems truly disappear as children grow up.

3.

"Allergy to peanuts is the most common food allergy." Allergy to peanuts is food allergy is the most likely cause of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions potentially deadly), but only about 0.6% of the population is affected by the peanut allergy. Food allergies the most common reported by adults are allergic to fruits and vegetables.

4. "Food allergies always begin in childhood." Allergies to fruits and vegetables may develop later in life because of similarities in fruit and vegetables with allergenic proteins suspended in the air, such as pollen. Allergens airborne causes the body to produce Ig E, and E Ig then reacts with proteins similar in fruits and vegetables.

5. "Allergy shots are an effective treatment for food allergies." Desensitization to certain allergens by the injection of extracts small amounts of the allergen over a long period was an effective therapy for certain allergies (such as allergies to pollens). However, there is no scientific evidence that such plans can prevent allergic reactions to food.

An allergy refers to the overreaction of the immune system in response to bodily contact with some foreign substances. It is an exaggeration, because these substances are generally regarded by the agency as innocuous and no reaction occurs in the non-allergic. People who are allergic bodies to recognize the foreign substance and part of the immune system is activated. Allergy-producing substances are called allergens. " Examples include allergenic pollen, dust mites, molds, danders, and foods. To understand the language of allergy, it is important to remember that Allergens are substances that are foreign to the body and can cause an allergic reaction in some people.

When an allergen comes in contact with the body, it causes the immune system to develop an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to it. When you react inappropriately to allergens that are normally harmless to other people, you experience an allergic reaction and can be considered as being allergic or atopic. Therefore, people who are prone to allergies are supposed to be allergic or atopic. "

Pirquet Austrian pediatrician Clemens (1874-1929), the term first used allergy. He referred to the time that immunity has been beneficial and harmful to sensitivities as "allergy." The term allergy is derived from the Greek word "allos, meaning different or modified and ergos", which means "work or action. Allergy roughly refers to an "alteration reaction." The word was first used allergy in 1905 to describe the adverse effects of children who received repeated blows horse serum to fight infection. The following year, the term of allergy has been proposed to explain this unexpected "changed reactivity."

Nearly thirty years after the nerve wracking September morning I entered the school of nursing, I remember often the first conference and presentation. That's because it was the day when I knew that I did not leave under any circumstances. I would have liked to know that he was quite because I knew that the field of nursing was for me was that the nursing or in my blood.

Quite frankly, just after the instructor came and covered the relevant facts and the story of two nurses and school (New England Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing), she asked us to look at both sides us and remember the faces of our new comrades class because at least half of them would not be present at graduation. Some will leave voluntarily and some would be asked to leave. Immediately, I felt my heart start to the race. It suddenly occurred to me that this was a serious matter and all other things aside with my competitive nature stoked, there was no way I was quitting. A challenge was issued and I thought I was at the height, if for no other reason that I wanted to be right and responsibility… Well, my father has always said that I had to have the last word.

Since that time I have met funny, scary, fuzzy and fantastic circumstances in my rough Studentnurseworld to Realnurseworld. Even those who are convinced that I, I could not or did not want to continue on the trek me somehow propelled even further forward. There are myriad chasms between Studentnurseworld and Realnurseworld, regardless of the selected area, and further to some of my own trips and observations.
