When I was a student, I have seen more than my fair share of students becoming depressed over a period of time. It gradually started when they became more and more concerned with their results and started shutting themselves out from all public contact. Slowly, but surely, most of them end up in a very bad state of mental depression despite the best efforts from their friends.

Diabetes type 1 is the common form of diabetes that occurs in any part of the worlds. This is a chronic disease, although there are methods that are used to control the disease there is no cure for it at all. The diabetes type 1 occurs as a result when the body cannot produce its own insulin leading o some medical disorders. Symptoms of diabetes 1 include; increased appetite, thirst and blindness. The blindness is caused due to the gradual damage of the retina of the eye. The treatment of diabetes type 1 includes the use of insulin injections so as to add the insulin hormone to the blood. This hormone is essential in order to regulate the levels of the blood sugar content.It is sad to note that insulin cannot be administered to patients in the form of pills; rather the patient has to carry around an insulin injection. Exercise is also necessary when suffering from diabetes type 1 as it helps to use up most of the sugar in your blood. The exercise should be done hand in hand with the intake of the insulin hormone. Diabetes type 1 is not at a death sentence you are able to live for many years whilst suffering from diabetes 1. All you need is to follow the correct diabetes plan.

Having a family member that is diagnosed with diabetes type 2 can be traumatic for both the patient and the you as family. Adjustments to your lifestyle are made in terms of diet and lifestyle. Here are brief yet comprehensive details about diabetes type 2:Diabetes type 2 is a condition where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, and the body cells ignore the insulin stored. Most people don’t realize how serious the condition is. This is a very serious condition as it can cause extensive damage to the patient’s body, that is, to the eyes, kidneys, heart and nerves. Usually the symptoms of diabetes type 2 go unnoticed for years until it’s too late. Research has found that both ageing and obese people are at a larger risk of developing diabetes type 2.Symptoms of diabetes type 2 are mild and sometimes go unnoticed. For this reason, it wise to help protect you and your family from this disease. You can do this by exercising regularly to prevent obesity, and following healthy diets to keep your cholesterol low. Frequent visits to your doctor for checkups (especially if you have history of type 2 diabetes in your family) will be an added advantage.

Diabetes is a serious condition that is caused when the body is unable to produce enough insulin or is unable to use up the insulin produced. The diabetes symptoms for both diabetes 1 and diabetes 2 are similar and usually go unnoticed. When left untreated both types of diabetes can cause long term and even fatal complications such as heart failure. Here are some diabetes symptoms that often go unnoticed:Frequent and abnormal visits to the loo. This is one of the diabetes symptoms that often go unnoticed. This is because urination is made frequent by the presence of too much glucose in the blood. With the insulin in your body ineffective, the kidneys are unable to sieve glucose into the blood and as a result they end up drawing water from the blood to dilute the glucose, making you need to constantly urinate.Exhaustion and fatigue. The absence of insulin results in this. This is because when the food we eat is digested, the absence of insulin makes it hard for the food to be transported into the blood. The cells then use it to produce the energy we use in our everday life. But without insulin, the glucose stays outside the body cells, energy starved and causing you to feel weak and fatigued.

Diabetes prevention is not very hard and difficult. Actually diabetes prevention can be done with quite ease and simplicity. One of the cornerstones of diabetes prevention and management is exercise. Exercise can help keep blood glucose levels in check, builds muscle and increases quality of life. For anyone who is extremely overweight and who has type 2 diabetes, starting any physical activity at all will help improve quality of life and get the ball in motion to benefit diabetes management. The more exercise you do, the more you can do, so by simply starting small one can help set the stage for future weight loss, improved blood sugars, increased strength and ultimately better health.Diabetes prevention and diabetes risk can be reduced by making changes in diet and increasing physical activity. The American Diabetes Association recommends maintaining a healthy weight, getting at least 2½ hours of exercise per week, having a modest fat intake, and eating sufficient fiber. The ADA does not recommend alcohol consumption as a preventive, but it is interesting to note that moderate alcohol intake may reduce the risk (though heavy consumption absolutely and clearly increases damage to bodily systems significantly).There is inadequate evidence that eating foods of low glycemic index is clinically helpful despite recommendations and suggested diets emphasizing this approach.There are numerous studies which suggest connections between some aspects of Type II diabetes with ingestion of certain foods or with some drugs. Breastfeeding may also be associated with the diabetes prevention of type 2 of the disease in mothers.

I have little written on respiratory diseases before. I am here to discuss about a not widely known disorder called Apnea. Well, not many out there would honestly know about this. This is a condition where there is no movement of the muscles of respiration and the volume of the lungs initially remains unchanged. This is a rarity in occurrence among people today, but those who do get affected suffer a lot of pain , simply because the body is deprived of oxygen and this leads to consequences that might range from mild dizziness to worse even death. Prolonged apnea leads to severe lack of oxygen in the blood circulation. Permanent brain damage can occur after as little as three minutes and death will inevitably ensue after a few more minutes unless ventilation is restored. I have been doing some research and I have good news for all those out there who suffer from Sleep Apnea. Well the good news is now nasal masks are available in the market that help you sleep again without any pain what so ever and also a lot of comfort. There is stuff like the Soft CPAP Mask, All Cloth CPAP Nasal Mask and many more that helps people with Apnea live their life better.

It can be triggered by a million number fo triggers and we cannot really restrict the reasons for it.One of the most important trigger for asthma though is dust.Peopl who suffer from asthma, must clearly understand that they must avoid dust at all cost. Recently Environmental Protection Agency in the United States has released norms and guidelines on Dust Control, Dust Abatement. The most striking aspect of it has been the introduction of PM10.

Bronchitis is caused by bacterial or viral infection such as cold, or viral illness such as influenza. Chronic inflammation in the passage that carry air from the trachea in the lungs is the cause for Acute bronchitis. Bronchitis symptoms are fever, malaise, noisy or wheezy breathing, breathing short and cough. This illness is usually self limiting otherwise the healthy people. They need to take complete bed rest with fluid intake. On the advice of the Doctor, patients should take cough suppressant. It is further to be generally avoided taking cough syrups during day time. In chronic bronchitis the bronchial lining membranes and walls are suffered irreversible damage due to prolonged infection. Thus the bronchi become narrowed and damaged and breathing in and out is restricted, thus not enough oxygen is allowed to mix with blood. People with chronic bronchitis need antibiotic treatment. They should avoid dusty and smoky atmosphere. Breathing extra oxygen through a mask may help the patients with acute symptoms.

A bacterium Bacillus Anthracis causes highly infectious disease called Anthrax. This bacterium shed from sore on infected animals as spores. This can survive for decades on animal hair and in soil. This is also otherwise known as woolsorters’ disease and can be transmitted to humans by contact with infected beasts or their products. Quelling of birds recently in China is due to spreading of Anthrax virus. Humans when affected by Anthrax will a break in their skin or from eating contaminated meat, which is very rare. During the past, out break on human was traced to imported shaving brushes. Skin infection is usually on the hand or on arm with a red lump. When this is left unattended, over several days become blistered and then ulcerated and covered with a black scab. Humans will have a flu like fever, swollen tender glands in the armpits. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding anthrax bacteria in samples taken from the sores or sputum. By eliminating the infected beasts and quarantining the rest we can eliminate spreading of the disease. To protect people at high risk, now vaccines are available.

Hepatitis means inflammation of liver. There are two types commonly known as Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. Each of the disease is caused by different virus. Hepatitis A is the milder of two. It is more infectious and thus more common between people. When the liver becomes inflamed, its cells cannot work properly to turn the food into chemicals. These chemicals help to get rid of urine. The inflamed tissue obstructs the flow of blood and bile through the liver. Hepatitis B virus is transmitted when body fluids from an infected person gets into another person’s body. It is found in blood, semen, saliva, urine, breast milk and sweat. It can also be transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusion, sharing syringes and needles, contaminated instruments used during medical procedures. Hepatitis ranges from mild to very severe. Mild may not cause any noticeable symptoms. Severe Hepatitis causes a very serious disturbance of health and can occasionally be fatal also. Blood tests can give a clear picture of disturbed liver function and can identify the causative virus and the stage of infection.

Sunstroke (heatstroke) results when the body becomes dangerously overheated – a condition that can be fatal if not treated properly. Overexposure to hot sun light can result in sunstroke. Two main things happen: excessive sweating causes the body to become dehydrated and he mechanisms with which the body regulates its temperature to break down. Victims are usually people who are not acclimatized to hot weather. Babies and old people at most at risk. Other factors that increase susceptibility includes overeating, drinking too much alcohol, over strenuous exercise and wearing clothing that is too warm for the weather conditions. The first sign of impending heatstroke is often those of heat exhaustion. The person turns pale, the skin is cold and clammy. Other symptoms include profuse sweating, weakness, exhaustion, dizziness, headache, rapid pulse and vomiting. When heatstroke develops, the sweating usually slows down, and may stop altogether. The skin will become hot, dry and flushed, the pulse rapid and weak. Other symptoms include headache, and weakness and nausea. The body temperature may raise to 40 degree C (104 F) and finally, the victim may become unconscious. This is an emergent situation and the Doctor should be called. While waiting for the Doctor, first lie the patient down in a cool place. Remove clothing and wrap the patient in sheets or towels which have been soaked in cold water. Check the temperature and pulse every five minutes. Fan the patient continuously, an electric fan is idle, if the patient is conscious, give frequent sips of water. When the temperature drops down to 38 Degree C, remove the wet sheets and replace with dry ones.
