SCABIES

What is scabies?  Scabies is a contagious skin condition characterized by itchy bumps and blisters onthe surface of the skin. It is caused by Sarcoptesscabiei, which is a small, eight-legged burrowing miteand is not visible to the naked eye. Scabies can easilyspread from person to person.

• The bumps are medically known as papules, whichmay contain blood crusts. The affected area may be painful due to repeated scratching. Open wounds are prone to bacterial infection. However, every bump is not a bug. The average person has only taken 10 to 15 live mites even if there are hundreds of bumps.

• Crusted scab is a severe form of scabies, characterized by skin thickening and flaky skin rash. People with poor immune systems or who are malnourished are susceptible to crusted scabies. Crusted scabiessymptoms can vary from person to person as the result of the crust scab may or may not itch.
•  Crustedscabies is considered the most contagious form ofscabies to be.
• Scabies mites are very sensitive to their environment.They can not survive no more than 2 or 3 days withouta human host. If you have never been exposed toscabies, it may be 4-6 weeks before itching and skinsores after the first infection. However, if you had it before, the symptoms within a few days.
• Scabies spreads easily from person to person by skin-to-skin or sexual contact with someone infected with it. It often affects family members at the same time. Sharing clothing, bedding, towels or otherpersonal items can also spread the mites. You can notget scabies from pets and all animals are affected by their own different types of mites.

prevention of scabies:

• Avoiding direct physical contact with the person whohas scabies, but also with their personal belongings is the best way to prevent scabies.If someone in your family has scabies, other family members should be treated.
• Clothing, towels and bedding should be washed in hotsoapy water as long as scabies mites can live 2-3days.
• Every room in the house must be thoroughly cleaned.                                     

EPIDEMOLOGY:

• Scabies is one of the three most common skin disorders in children with tinea and pyoderma. The mites are spread all over the world and even infect allages, races and socioeconomic classes in differentclimates.Scabies is more often seen in crowdedareas with unhygienic living conditions.Globally from 2009, estimated that 300 million cases of scabies areevery year, but several parties claim the figure is eitherover-or underestimated. Approximately 1-10% of the world is estimated to be infected with scabies, but insome groups, the infection rate may reach 50-80%.
• Scabies is one of the three most commondermatologic disorders in children.

DRY SKIN.

DRY SKIN

DRY SKIN

• Dry skin is a common skin condition characterized by abnormal or extreme dryness of the skin. While the dry skin tends to affect men and women equally, usually much older people are more prone to dry skin. The skin of elderly people tends to have decreasing amounts of natural skin oils and lubricants. Areas like the arms, hands, and especially lower legs tend to be more affected by dry skin. Dry skin is also known as xeroderma.
• Dry skin can be a mild, temporary state of a few days to weeks. Dry skin can be more severe, prolonged skin problem has become for some. Symptoms of dry skin of tight skin discomfort and itching. In addition, external factors such as weather affects the severity of dry skin. For example, cold or dry air in the winter and worsen dry skin.Persons whose occupations require more frequent hand washing and disinfection may experience dry skin more often. Dry skin can also be a side effect of certain drugs or a symptom of an underlying physiological disorder, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid, or Sjogren's syndrome. 
• The skin is normally covered by sebum, that oil is the natural product of the sebaceous glands. Sebum helps prevent skin dehydration. When the skin oils are stripped away, the skin loses its protection and loses moisture easily. If the skin is dry, it can be more sensitive and prone to rashes and skin lesions. This condition is sometimes referred to as xerosis. Dry skin can be completely invisible skin, or a fine dry powder-like appearance of the skin. Untreated, dry skin can become irritated and cause a red rash (xerodermatitis). 
• Simple prevention and treatment measures are very effective in treating dry skin. Basic steps to prevent dry skin include avoiding harsh soaps and chemical cleaners.Treatment generally requires frequent and regular applications of soft soothing and moisturizing. Untreated, dry skin can lead to complications such as rashes, eczema, secondary bacterial infections, cellulitis, and skin discoloration. Fortunately, a dry skin is usually mild and can easily be remedied. 

Certain physiological changes and medical conditions can cause dry skin. The beginning of a dry skin caused by aging or hormonal changes, as seen in postmenopausal women.In some cases, those medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, diabetes or malnutrition (eg vitamin A deficiency) suffering from xerosisThe main symptom of dry skin is itching. People who have dry skin is often rough, dry,red patches on their skin, and these patches are often itchy. Typical affected skin areas include arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and areas of friction, such as ankles and soles. Asalways dry skin is severe, can develop cracks.symptoms:

• Itching
• Rough dry skin
• Red spots

The itchy feeling can worsen the severity of dry skin. Itching may lead to the developmentof the 'itch-scratch "cycle. That is, if a person feels itching, scratching his or herresponse, which exacerbates the itch, and so on. The' itch-scratch" cycle often seen as a conscious control of scratching is low or absent, for example during sleep.

The most common dry areas of skin:

• The lower legs,

• Hands,

• Forearms.

Constant scratching and rubbing of the skin, the skin thick and leathery. For others, small, red, raised bumps on their skin, and rough spots are irritated, open, and infectedwhen scratched.


Genetic disorders for skin:

• Dry skin can be caused by a genetic condition called ichthyosis. There are many types ofichthyosis. Ichthyosis vulgaris is the most common type and is a severe dry skin condition, often from the front of the lower legs. Ichthyosis vulgaris is dry, like fish scales.Less severe forms of dry skin can tend to the family. Dry skin is also more common inatopic dermatitis, which is thought to have a genetic component

Skin diagnosis:

• In general, you have dry skin easily diagnosed when the doctor examined physically andvisually inspect the skin. While dry skin can be any type of skin at any age, older peopleoften have their skin exposed to harsh soaps or detergents are more prone to developing this condition. In addition, a thorough medical history and review of the family history to help support the diagnosis of dry skin. Based on the medical history, other medical conditions are excluded or considered. In difficult cases, a skin biopsy are useful toconfirm the diagnosis and treatment plan immediately. Sometimes the skin culture doneby gently dabbing the skin and examining the sample under a microscope for bacteria,fungi or yeast infection to detect.

Dengue Fever

What is dengue fever?

• Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. It is an acute disease of the sudden that usually follows a benign coursewith symptoms such as headache, fever, prostration, severe muscle and joint pain,swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) and rash.

• The presence (the "dengue triad") of fever, rash and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic of dengue. Other signs of dengue fever include bleeding gums, severe pain behind the eyes and redpalms and soles.

• Dengue (pronounced DENG-gay) can affect anyone, but tends to be more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of the fourserotypes of the virus, it is possible to dengue more than once. However, an attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular serotype to which the patient was exposed.

• Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes.
• Symptoms such as headache, fever, prostration, severe joint and muscle pain, swollenglands (lymphadenopathy) and rash. The presence (the "dengue triad") of fever, rash and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic of dengue.

Dengue is widespread in the tropics and subtropics.

Since dengue fever is caused by a virus, there is no specific medicine or antibiotictreatment. For typical dengue, the treatment is purely concerned with relief of symptoms (symptomatic).The acute phase of illness with fever and myalgia takes about one to two weeks.

• Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a specific syndrome that tends to affect childrenunder 10 years. It causes abdominal pain, haemorrhage (bleeding) and circulatory collapse (shock)
• The prevention of dengue requires control or eradication of the mosquitoes that the virus that causes dengue.

Dengue is among other names, including "dengue fever" or "dandy fever. "Victims of dengue often turns due to the intense joint and muscle pain, hence the name dengue.Slaves in the West Indies who contracted dengue were said to dandy fever because of their stance and gait have.

• Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a more severe form of viral disease. Symptoms includeheadache, fever, rash, and evidence of bleeding in the body. Petechiae (small red orpurple spots or blisters under the skin), bleeding in the nose or gums, black stools or bruising are all possible signs of bleeding. This form of dengue fever can be lifethreatening and can progress to the most severe form of the disease, dengue shock syndrome.

There is currently no vaccine available for dengue.

HEART ATTACK AND SYMPTOMS

Coronary Heart Disease:

• A heart attack happens when blood flow to oxygen-rich parts of the heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. Most heart attacks occur due to coronary heart disease (CHD).

• CHD is a condition in which the waxy substance called plaque builds inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart.

• When the plates builds up in arteries, this condition is called miażdżyca.W buildup of plaque occurs over many years.

• In the end, the plate surface can rupture (break) inside the artery. This causes a blood clot to form on the surface of the plate. If the clot becomes large enough, it can mostly or completely block blood flow through the coronary artery.

• If the blockage is not treated quickly, part of the heart muscle fed by the artery begins to die. Healthy heart tissue is replaced with scar tissue. This heart damage may not be obvious or it may cause serious or long-term problems.

• Heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), is permanent damage to heart muscle. "Myo" means muscle, "heart" refers to the heart and "infarction" means death of tissue due to lack of blood supply.

• Heart muscle requires a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart to provide coronary odżywiać.Tętnic with this critical blood supply. If you have coronary artery disease, those arteries become narrow and blood can not flow as they should. Fatty substances, calcium, protein and inflammatory cells build up in arteries to form tiles of different rozmiarach.Depozytów board are hard on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside. 

Coronary Artery Contraction:

• Less often cause a heart attack is a serious contraction (tightening) wieńcowej.Skurcz artery cuts off blood flow through the artery. Cramps may occur in the coronary arteries that are not affected by atherosclerosis.

What causes coronary artery spasm is not always the jasne.Skurcze may be associated with:

•       The use of certain drugs such as cocaine

•       Stress or pain

•       Exposure to extreme cold

•       cigarette smoking

When the table is hard, outer shell cracks (plaque rupture), platelets (disc-shaped particles in the blood that aid clotting) come from the area, and blood clots form around the table. If the clot completely blocks the artery, the heart muscle becomes "hungry" for oxygen. In a short time, the death of heart muscle cells, causing permanent damage. It is a heart attack.

• Although it is unusual, a heart attack can also be caused by coronary artery spasm. During coronary spasm, coronary arteries restrict or spasm on and off, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia). It may occur at rest, and may even occur in patients without significant coronary artery disease.

• Each coronary artery supplies blood to the muscle area. sercowego.Stopień myocardial damage depends on the size of the area supplied by the blocked artery, and the time between injury and treatment.

Healing the heart muscle begins soon after a heart attack and takes about eight weeks. Just as skin wounds, the heart heals wounds and scars will form in the damaged area. But the new scar tissue does not contract. Yes, the heart pumping ability is lessened after a heart attack. The amount of lost pumping ability depends on the size and location of the scar.

HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS:

1.  Discomfort pressure,heaviness,pain in the chest,shoulders or below sternum.
2.  Discomfort radiating to the back jaw, thorat, arm.
3.  Feeling of fulleness,indestion,chocking(may feel hear burn)
4  Dizziness
5  Extreme weakness
6.  Anxiety
7.  Sweating, nausea, vomiting
8.  Fast(or)irregular heart beat
9. Tension

• Some people have heart attack without symptoms silent mycoridal infarction may occur in any one and this quite common among patients with diabetes

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Water is not just a thirst quencher, it actually speeds up the metabolism. No calories are ingested in drinking water, rather than calories used. Try drinking a glass before meals and snacks and consuming sweetened drinks or juices.
