Osteomyelitis :: Symptoms n signs of osteomyelitis
Symptoms n signs of osteomyelitis are:
MRI
Carcinoma esophagus and Homoeopathy – Esophageal Cancer
Cancer of the esophagus remains a devastating disease because it is usually not detected until it has progressed to an advanced incurable stage. Modern imaging techniques, including barium esophagraphy, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and positron-emission tomography (PET), are powerful tools in the detection, diagnosis, and staging of this malignancy. Early detection remains the elusive but essential goal of research. Only surgical resection at a very early stage has been shown to improve survival rates in patients with this disease.
Osteoarthritis :: Exercise strengthen knee cartilage in OA patients
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of disability among adults. As the population ages, increased intervention efforts are vital to controlling the individual and public health toll of this chronic, crippling joint disease.
Renal Failure :: Chronic renal failure, Kidney failure
Chronic renal failure is a gradual and progressive loss of the ability of the kidneys to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes.
Seizures :: Information on seizure, convulsions
A seizure is a sudden change in behavior due to an excessive electrical activity in the brain. There are a wide variety of possible symptoms of seizures, depending on what parts of the brain are affected. Many types of seizures cause loss of consciousness with twitching or shaking of the body. However, some seizures consist of staring spells that can easily go unnoticed. Occasionally, seizures can cause temporary abnormal sensations or visual disturbances.
Alzheimer’s Disease :: Statins not associated with a reduced risk of AD
The use of statins and other lipid-lowering agents by older adults was not associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia, according to a study in the July issue of the Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Genetic Disorder :: Lorenzo’s oil for debilitating disease adrenoleukodystrophy
Treatment of boys with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) with Lorenzo’s oil (LO) reduced their risk of developing the severe debilitating form of the disease, according to a study in the July issue of the Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Bipolar Disorder :: Mri Shows Up Brain Differences in Bipolar Disorder
Efforts to define the abnormally activated areas in the brains of people with bipolar disorder could lead to new drug treatments and better coping strategies, investigators reported at the International Conference on Bipolar Disorder in Pittsburgh.
Depression :: Depression gene increase susceptibility to anxiety and depression
A brain scan study suggests that a suspect gene may increase susceptibility to anxiety and depression by weakening a circuit for processing negative emotion. People with the depression-linked gene variant showed less gray matter and weaker connections in the mood-regulating circuit. How well the circuit was connected accounted for nearly 30 percent of their anxious temperament, researchers at the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found. Dr. Daniel Weinberger and colleagues report on their brain imaging genetics study.
Neuropathy :: Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) and Homeopathy
Guillian Barre syndrome (GBS) is the commonest acute polyneuropathy. GBS is an acute, frequently severe, and fulminant polyradiculoneuropathy that is autoimmune in nature. It occurs year-round at a rate of about one case per million per month .It develops 1- 4 weeks after viral infection in 70% patients and more rarely follows surgery or immunisation. Pathologically there is demyelination of spinal roots or peripheral nerves which is certainly immunologically mediated.
