Aneurysm, Aortic

What is an aortic aneurysm?

An aneurysm (AN'u-rizm) is a bulge in a blood vessel, much like a bulge on an over-inflated
 inner tube. Aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst.

The aorta, the main artery leading away from the heart, can sometimes develop an aneurysm.

Aortic aneurysms usually occur in the abdomen below the kidneys (abdominal aneurysm), but may occur in the chest cavity (thoracic -- tho-RAS'ik -- aneurysm). This can happen if the wall of the aorta becomes weakened by build ups of fatty deposits called plaque. This is called atherosclerosis (ath"er-o-skleh-RO'sis). 

Aneurysms may also be due to an inherited disease such as the Marfan syndrome.

How is an aneurysm detected?

Aneurysms can be detected by X-ray or by imaging techniques such as echocardiography (ek"o-kar"de-OG'rah-fe), an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or a computed tomography (to-MOG'rah-fe) (CT) scan. 

A small aneurysm may not cause symptoms. Then a patient's doctor will want to check it regularly to see if it's enlarging. Pain in the area of an aneurysm is a common symptom. The larger an aneurysm becomes, the more likely it is to burst.

How is an aneurysm treated?

Aneurysms are treated surgically. A patch or artificial piece of blood vessel is sewn where the aneurysm was.

Background about Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotics, also known as antimicrobial drugs, are drugs that fight infections caused by bacteria.

After their discovery in the 1940's they transformed medical care and dramatically reduced illness and death from infectious diseases. 

However, over the decades the bacteria that antibiotics control have developed resistance to these drugs. Today, virtually all important bacterial infections in the United States and throughout the world are becoming resistant. 

For this reason, antibiotic resistance is among CDC's top concerns.

Antibiotic resistance has been called one of the world's most pressing public health problems.

Antibiotic resistance can cause significant danger and suffering for children and adults who have common infections, once easily treatable with antibiotics.

Antibiotic Resistance- what it is and how it happens:

Antibiotic use promotes development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections. 

The bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harm. 

Widespread use of antibiotics promotes the spread of antibiotic resistance. 

While antibiotics should be used to treat bacterial infections, they are not effective against viral infections like the common cold, most sore throats, and the flu.

Antibiotics kill bacteria, not viruses

Smart use of antibiotics is the key to controlling the spread of resistance.

What does CDC recommend?

Only use antibiotics when they are likely to be beneficial.

By visiting this website you are taking the first step to reducing your risk of getting antibiotic-resistant infections. It is important to understand that, although they are very useful drugs, antibiotics designed for bacterial infections are not useful for viral infections such as a cold, cough, or flu.

How can you prevent antibiotic-resistant infections?

Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of 

Death in the US, Causing 250,000 Deaths Every Year

ALL THESE ARE DEATHS PER YEAR:

These total  to 250,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes !

What  does "iatrogenic" mean?   This term is defined as induced in a patient by a
physician's activity, manner, or therapy.  Used especially of a complication
of treatment.

Yes, we often mention CELLS AND CELL REJUVENATION.  More learning here.

LIVE CELL THERAPY

Begun in Switzerland and outlawed in the US (5000 therapists use it in Germany),
clinical  evidence and testimonials abound on the regeneration properties of this
therapy.  Cancer is, among other things, due to DNA damage. 

When a cell dies (happens all the time) -- the lining inside your mouth replaces itself
every day, your liver replaces itself every six weeks), the new cell that grows to
replace the dead cell is a duplicate of the dead cell because the DNA is passed
on to the new cell. 

Cellular changes are brought about by toxins, alcohol, smoke, malnutrition, free
radicals, and the aging process.  In Live Cell Therapy DNA from animal fetuses
(in the form of thymus extracts, Resomillan® (spleen extract, and other forms)
is injected.  Pill forms have been created, though we have yet to learn of the
clinical effectiveness.  According to its proponents, live cell therapy helps
organs regenerate, improves hormonal  response in the thyroid, testes,
ovaries, adrenals, pancreas, pituitary gland, and hypothalamus 
(they claim), revitalizes skin, muscles, bones, brains, heart 
and lungs, and enhances immune system response.

The pill form is available through the mail, though again, the pill form has not
yet proven itself effective. 

It seems like it may never be available in the US.

This therapy is available in Mexico and Canada.

HEMORRHOIDS

Did you know...

  • Hemorrhoids are one of the most common ailments known.
  • More than half the population will develop hemorrhoids, usually after age 30.
  • Millions of Americans currently suffer from hemorrhoids.
  • The average person suffers in silence for a long period before seeking medical care.
  • Today's treatment methods make some types of hemorrhoid removal much less painful.

What are hemorrhoids?

Often described as "varicose veins of the anus and rectum", hemorrhoids are enlarged, bulging blood vessels in and about the anus and lower rectum. There are two types of
hemorrhoids: external and internal, which refer to their location.

External (outside) hemorrhoids develop near the anus and are covered by very sensitive skin. If a blood clot develops in one of them, a painful swelling may occur. The external hemorrhoid feels like a hard, sensitive lump. It bleeds only if it ruptures.

Internal (inside) hemorrhoids develop within the anus beneath the lining. Painless bleeding and protrusion during bowel movements are the most common symptom. However, an internal hemorrhoid can cause severe pain if it is completely "prolapsed" - protrudes from the anal opening and cannot be pushed back inside.

What causes hemorrhoids?

An exact cause is unknown; however, the upright posture of humans alone forces a great deal of pressure on the rectal veins, which sometimes causes them to bulge. Other contributing factors include:
  • Aging
  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea
  • Pregnancy
  • Heredity
  • Faulty bowel function due to overuse of laxatives or enemas; straining during bowel movements
  • Spending long periods of time (e.g., reading) on the toilet

Whatever the cause, the tissues supporting the veins stretch. As a result, the veins dilate; their walls become thin and bleed. If the stretching and pressure continue, the weakened veins protrude.

What are the symptoms?

If you notice any of the following, you could have hemorrhoids:
  • Bleeding during bowel movements
  • Protrusion during bowel movements
  • itching in the anal area
  • Pain
  • Sensitive lump(s)

Do hemorrhoids lead to cancer?

No. There is no relationship between hemorrhoids and cancer. However, the symptoms of hemorrhoids, particularly bleeding, are similar to those of colorectal cancer and other diseases of the digestive system. Therefore, it is important that all symptom are investigated by a physician specially trained in treating diseases of the colon and rectum. Do not rely on over-the-counter medications or other self-treatments. See a colorectal surgeon first so your symptoms can be properly evaluated and effective treatment prescribed.

How are hemorrhoids treated?

Mild symptoms can be relieved frequently by increasing the amount of fiber (e.g., fruits, vegetables, breads and cereals) and fluids in the diet. Eliminating excessive straining reduces the pressure on hemorrhoids and helps prevent them from protruding. A sitz bath - sitting in plain warm water for about 10 minutes - can also provide some relief

With these measures, the pain and swelling of most symptomatic hemorrhoids will decrease in two to seven days, and the firm lump should recede within four to six weeks. In cases of severe, persistent pain, your physician may elect to remove the hemorrhoid containing the clot with a small incision. Performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient, this procedure generally provides relief.

Severe hemorrhoids may require special treatment, much of which can be performed on an outpatient basis.

  • Ligation - the rubber band treatment - works effectively on internal hemorrhoids that protrude with bowel movements. A small rubber band is placed over the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. The hemorrhoid and the band fall off in a few days and the wound usually heals in a week or two. This procedure sometimes produces mild discomfort and bleeding.
  • Injection and Coagulation can also be used on bleeding hemorrhoids that do not protrude. Both methods are relatively painless and cause the hemorrhoid to shrivel up.
  • Hemorrhoidectomy - surgery to remove the hemorrhoids - is the best method for the permanent removal of hemorrhoids. It is necessary when (1) clots repeatedly form in external hemorrhoids; (2) ligation fails to treat internal hemorrhoids; (3) the protruding hemorrhoid cannot be reduced; or (4) there is persistent bleeding. A hemorrhoidectomy removes excessive tissue that causes the bleeding and protrusion. It is done under anesthesia any may, depending upon circumstances, require hospitalization and a period of inactivity. Laser hemorrhoidectomies do not offer any advantage over standard operative techniques. They are also quite expensive, and contrary to popular belief, are no less painful.
  • Other treatments include cryotherapy, BICAP coagulation and direct current. Cryotherapy, popular 20 years ago, consists of freezing hemorrhoidal tissue. It is not recommended for hemorrhoids because it is very painful. BICAP and direct current are methods that shrink the hemorrhoid. None of these t reatments have gained widespread acceptance.

Rubber Band Ligation of Internal Hemorrhoids:

  1. Bulging, bleeding, internal hemorrhoid

  2. Rubber band applied at the base of the hemorrhoid

  3. About 7 days later, the banded hemorrhoid has fallen off leaving a small scar
     at its base (arrow)
