If during the next year or the sexual act, or its companion aplicais not any methods of contraception, and pregnancy does not start – you two need to call to the doctor.

It is necessary to exclude all factors that damage (alcohol, use of different drugs), chronic and acute stress of the situation.
A good diet, maintaining normal weight, physically active enough (But not too much!) is very important too.

You must observe all requirements of the physician.
Remember, the treatment of infertility is a long process. Fortunately, modern medicine knows many methods of the decision of this problem. Read the rest of this entry »

The doctors called the sterility of the couple’s inability to seize posterity over a year without the application of methods of contraception. The causes of useless marriages are mixed. Traditionally the absence of children in families linked to the problems of women. But this is not at all well. Infertility is on average 10% of cases, in addition to statistical data other than the sterility of the man falls from 30 to 55% of marriages useless.

Causes

The causes that lead to male infertility include cause birth defects and breaches genetic, anatomical and physiological changes of the genital organs, the violation of hormonal status (which may lead to violation of the formation of normal sperm, viable and mobile), the sexual lesion (scrotum), the operative treatment of inguinal hernia, dropsy of the egg. Acute and chronic stress of the situation can lead to temporary violations hormone that leads to sterility. Unable to forget the harmful conditions of work and external environmental factors (ionizing radiation, work in conditions of hyperthermia, in the chemical industry companies).

Clearly, the best to combat this disease is prevention. In fact, many cases are conditioned by hereditary factors, but even here there is a notable decrease in risk when carrying out measures to help preserve the health of the arteries:

Improve your diet. We suggest that only 30% or less of total food consumed is of animal origin, giving preference to fat-free meat, fish or poultry, and increasing the amount of cereals, fruits and vegetables.

Avoid being overweight. It is known that people who maintain ideal body weight better control cholesterol levels and blood pressure, so that the force must support the bloodstream is reduced. Read the rest of this entry »

Unfortunately, the rupture of the aneurysm is an emergency that has high mortality rate, as bleeding from an artery is always intense and effectiveness of care by the specialist in vascular surgery angiologist (from the bloodstream), depend the size of the lesion, time to transfer the patient to the emergency and location of the lesion, as statistics show that the hopes of survival are lower when the injury occurs in the chest.

In case of cerebral aneurysm neurosurgery are used, with the question of closing the base of the lesion with special staples, sutures, coils or other devices that help to clot and prevent further bleeding. When the injury is not as large bedrest is required and the administration of medication to control headaches, blood pressure and possible seizures. Read the rest of this entry »

Given its origin, aneurysms can be classified into two groups:

Hereditary. For unknown reasons there are families in which their members suffer weakening of the muscular layer of the arteries, and often find that the force generated by blood pressure leading to spherical or a hernia in the form of cherry (saccular aneurysm), same almost always located in the region of the brain.

Acquired. They are those cases where the muscle layer gradually weakens because of other conditions such as atherosclerosis, Acquired pressure. They are those cases where the muscle layer gradually weakens because of other conditions such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes (high blood sugar levels by deficient production of insulin hormone) less often due to shock and infection by bacteria or fungi.

The widening of a section of the bloodstream is a growing problem statistically and whose outcome can be fatal, as it raises the risk of stroke and internal bleeding in the thorax and abdomen. Medicine has found several solutions to this disease, prevention remains the most important.

The arteries are strong and flexible pathways that are responsible for transporting blood throughout the body as well as supporting the increased pressure generated by the beating of the heart muscle. It was understood the great importance, since they depend on an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen to every organ and tissue in the human body. Read the rest of this entry »

High blood pressure or hypertension, affects one third of the total world population. Because they do not cause symptoms, this condition is called “silent murderer, and often accounts for their presence after a heart attack or other heart condition.

Specialists explain the hypertension and overwork they are submitted to the heart, because the smaller branches of arteries suffer narrowing or constriction. What happens then is that blood flow is decreased, and the consequence is that this important body has to pump harder to maintain constant blood flow throughout the body. So this kind of performance of the heart will undoubtedly serious problems such as heart attacks or angina. Read the rest of this entry »

Still do not know the exact cause of type 1 diabetes, but international researchers have found a link between the disorder of blood glucose and a network of immune system genes.
Through an association study of the entire genome, the researchers found that a certain group of genes that reacts in response to viral infection was present in both rats and humans, and that these same genes were also associated with susceptibility to diabetes type 1.

“The diseases arising as a result of many genetic and environmental factors through networks of genes that cause tissue damage,” said Dr. Stuart Cook, author of the study, group director of molecular and cellular cardiology Science Center Clinical Medical Research Council and professor of clinical and molecular cardiology at Imperial College London.
“We use a method to identify the central command of the important control points of a network of genes of inflammation. This led us to discover hundreds of new genes that may cause diabetes, and a major control gene that controls the entire network” said Cook.

He added that one gene belongs to a class of genes that might be a good target for drug therapy in the future. Read the rest of this entry »

Symptoms of the disease:
• severe cough accompanied by whistles, because the access of air to the lungs is reduced, there is increased production of mucus and thus contraction of the airways.
• Tightness in the chest.
• Difficulty breathing and speaking.
• Sweating when efforts are made to breathe, sise has a coughing fit.

Diagnosis of Illness:
• The doctor takes into account symptoms, perform a medical history, physical examination the patient practice and makes some laboratory tests may include chest radiograph, blood tests and lung function.
• It is also conducting a study to measure the air that you breathe in and out, with the help of a device called a spirometer, which records changes in breathing and can help the doctor determine whether a patient has asthma.
• The sensitization tests are useful to identify which patients are allergic, which consist in drawing a “map” of substances that are most likely to generate an asthma attack. Read the rest of this entry »
