There are many types of drugs on the market, which reduces the symptoms caused by allergies.  The most common are:
antihistamine drugs: prevent or decrease the symptoms of allergic colds.  These drugs act by blocking the release of the substance produced during the allergy that triggers allergic reactions: histamine.  Antihistamines may be tablets, capsules, nasal drops or injections.  The older medications can have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mucous membranes, dizziness, tachycardia, but in these new effects are much reduced or absent; Read the rest of this entry »

Diagnosis

A doctor will perform a series of blood tests and urine tests that will help establish the presence of kidney stones. Different imaging techniques are used to diagnose kidney stones, including tomography computer or an IVP, a type of radiological examination of the urinary tract.

If the presence of a kidney stone is discovered, a doctor may request a metabolic balance that would allow him to assess all the body’s reactions and to identify a metabolic disorder. This process may involve blood tests and urine samples excreted over 24 hours (as urinalysis, the urine pH and urine culture). If a stone is passed, will release an analysis of its components.

Description

A kidney stone is formed when a small grain of a mineral substance circulating in the urine is deposited in the kidney or ureter, a duct that connects the kidney to the bladder. Other minerals agglutineront the small grain which will increase volume and make a stony consistency over time.

There are four main types of kidney stones, and their classification is based on the chemical substances which consist of: calcium salts (calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, a mixture of calcium oxalate and phosphate calcium), magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite), uric acid or cystine. Sometimes, though rarely, that some drugs are the cause of calculations after solidification into crystals in the urine. Kidney stones are most commonly composed of calcium oxalate naturally present in urine. Read the rest of this entry »

To diagnose bladder cancer, we must obtain the patient’s medical history, including its former working conditions, opportunities for exposure to chemicals and lifestyle habits, like smoking.After noting that information and performed a physical examination, the doctor will probably have a vaginal or rectal examination to rule out other possible causes of symptoms.

Blood tests used to check kidney function and urine tests, to detect the presence of blood or cancer cells. Then we performed a cystoscopy. The doctor inserts a thin tube called a cystoscope into the urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside during urination) and traces it back to the bladder.

With the cystoscope, the doctor can see inside the bladder, look for abnormalities and remove a small tissue sample (biopsy) to check for cancer cells. Cystoscopy can be performed under local or general anesthesia.

Once the cancer has been diagnosed, one must determine the cancer stage (how far it has progressed). To this end, the doctor asks some of the following tests:

• computed tomography (CT) examination reveals the presence of tumors or abnormalities in the urinary tract (this includes the bladder, kidneys, urethra and ureters).
• a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a more sophisticated than CT scans, which reveal any abnormality in the bladder or urinary tract.
• an IVP: a review in which one injects a contrast agent which concentrates in the urine   And second, we take x-rays that show the path of urine with obstruction or anomaly, if applicable.
• bone scan: to determine whether the cancer has spread to the bones.
• chest radiography: determining whether the cancer has spread to the lungs. Read the rest of this entry »

Description:

In bladder cancer, cancer cells invade the bladder harmful and destroy normal cells   And the bladder can no longer function properly.

The bladder is a hollow organ that stores urine as it is filtered by the kidneys. Its flexible wall consisting of three layers of fabric, allows it to stretch and contract as needed. Most bladder cancers (90%) are implanted in the epithelial lining, the deepest layer of the wall.

The bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer in Canada. Its incidence is two to three times higher in men than in women, and two times higher among Caucasians than among those original African. In North America, it ranks fourth in men and the ninth in women, in terms of frequency.

Thanks to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment, mortality rates for this disease have declined significantly over the past 25 years. Read the rest of this entry »

Diagnosis

If you think you have appendicitis, seek immediate medical attention. In case of constipation, laxatives should be avoided because they can cause an instant failure.

Appendicitis is usually diagnosed during a physical examination by a physician. The doctor will perform a number of tests that may also provide information on the extent and location of inflammation. After a physical examination, a blood test may be performed to check for infection. The doctor might also take a urine sample to eliminate the possibility of a urinary tract infection, symptoms of such infection may be similar to those of appendicitis.

Sometimes we use an ultrasound to help determine the diagnosis. Occasionally, a CT scan of the abdomen is necessary for patients when other tests do not provide definitive results.

Other conditions that can be confused with appendicitis include colitis, Crohn’s disease, gastritis, gastroenteritis, tubal pregnancy and ovarian problems. Read the rest of this entry »

Description

Called sudden appendicitis inflammation or swelling of the appendix. The appendix is a tube-like structure that starts from where the large intestine (colon) begins. It is the size of a pencil and is normally about 7 cm (4 inches).

For many years, scientists were unsure of the function of the appendix in the body. We now know that it helps make immunoglobulins, substances that are part of the immune system. Immunoglobulins are made in many parts of the body. Thus, the removal of the appendix does not seem to result from immune system problems.

Today, appendicitis is rarely fatal, through the use of antibiotics and surgery safely. It affects 1 in 15 people and is more often men than women. It affects very few children often below 3 years and occurs most commonly between 10 and 30 years. Read the rest of this entry »

Description

Styes are usually temporary and mild bacterial infection affecting the edge of the eyelid or eye. Glands around the eyelid get clogged and swell until a sore like a small pimple or to a boil. A stye can also result from a blockage of the follicle of an eyelash. The sore causes pain in the eye and temporarily filled with pus. A second type of stye, worse, can develop deeper inside the eyelid and swell until medical intervention is necessary.

Styes are the most common type of infection of the eyelid. On average, each person develops one or two in his lifetime, although some people develop them repeatedly. They can be unpleasant and painful, but they are usually harmless.

Causes

There are actually two distinct types of stye. Both are usually caused by a bacterium known as staph. This bacterium, common on the skin, can multiply rapidly and cause infections. In case of ordinary stye, called an external hordeolum, the infection starts at the root of an eyelash (the follicle), unleashing a process that results in a swelling. This type of stye can also be caused by staphylococcal infection of the glands of Moll and Zeiss, close to the follicles. When the stye swells and begins to infect or clog other glands around the eyelid, it causes pain and discomfort. At this point, one can often see or feel a lump, a small pimple-like reddish abscess that begins to fill with pus. Styes often occur in people with weak immune resistance due to conditions such as diabetes, or a local predisposition such as acne. Read the rest of this entry »
