Low Blood Pressure Diagnosis & Treatment - 0 views

  • A wide range of underlying conditions may also cause your symptoms.
  • The doctor will look at your medical history, age, specific symptoms, and the conditions under which the symptoms occurred. He or she will do a physical exam and may perform repeated evaluations of your blood pressure and pulse rate

  • What Are the Treatments for Low Blood Pressure?
  • For many people, chronic low blood pressure can be effectively treated with diet and lifestyle changes.
  • Depending on the cause of your symptoms, your doctor may counsel you to increase your blood pressure by making these simple changes
  • Eat a diet higher in salt
  • Drink lots of nonalcoholic fluids
  • Limit alcoholic beverages
  • Get regular exercise to promote blood flow.
  • To help improve circulation, pump your feet and ankles a few times before standing up
  • When getting out of bed, sit upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes
  • try eating smaller, more frequent meals. Cut back on carbohydrates. Rest after eating.
  • use elastic support (compression) stockings that cover the calf and thigh. These may help restrict blood flow to the legs, thus keeping more blood in the upper body.

What is Blood Sugar? - 0 views

  •  
    Blood sugar or blood glucose is the amount of glucose present in the bloodstream. Body makes glucose from the foods we eat or from our diet. Body produces blood glucose from the protein, fat and mostly carbohydrates. Blood glucose is body's fuel and it provides energy to all cells in the body. A healthy body maintains a balanced blood glucose level which is important for body's regular functions. High blood sugar level in the bloodstream can lead to hyperglycemia and low blood sugar level in the blood stream can lead to hypoglycaemia.

Low Blood Pressure Diagnosis & Treatment - 0 views

  • Medications for Low Blood Pressure
  • If these measures don't lessen the problem, you may need medication
  • Fludrocortisone . Fludrocortisone is a mineralocorticosteroid that appears to be effective for most types of low blood pressure. It works by promoting sodium retention by the kidney, thereby causing fluid retention and some swelling, which is necessary to improve blood pressure.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • So when taking fludrocortisone, it's important to get adequate amounts of potassium each day
  • Midodrine . Midodrine activates receptors on the arterioles (smallest arteries) and veins to produce an increase in blood pressure. It is used to help increase standing blood pressure in people with postural hypotension related to nervous system dysfunction. More studies are now underway, however, to see how effective this treatment is.

Smoking Tobacco And Sexuality - 0 views

    Visit http://www.eciganywhere.tk Traditional smoking causes the impotence. You've already read on cigarette packets. But what does this information actually conveys? Tobacco and Erection Tobacco, harmful to the arteries of the heart and brain, is also to those of the penis. And yes, conventional smoking increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and disorders of erection. But if the tobacco mouth penile arteries, it also has other harmful effects far less known. Female sexuality is also affected by smoking tobacco The first is to act on the arteries as sexual mutilation. If the penis of a traditional smoker is less well irrigated, or may even no longer be enough to get an erection, female sexual area also suffers from smoking tobacco. And that is because in the arteries sexual mutilation exists, similar to those of the sexual arteries of males. Thus, a conventional smoker's risk of sexual lubrication, witness his excitement, hang, like the erection may become blocked in humans smoking tobacco. And it gets worse. Conventional smoking has a virilizing effect. Female sex hormones are not in balance when the body is intoxicated by tobacco. This is also why the voice of women traditional smokers is serious, not because of irritation of the vocal cords, but increased male hormones which cause the a more low pitched voice. These effects on sexuality are reversible within days And then, if conventional smoking is dangerous in the long term, it is also very short term. Thus, a man who quits traditional smoking sees his erection improve significantly in two or three days! And a woman observes the same way and very quickly, better lubrication during vaginal sex. This improvement is not due to the fact that the arteries open in a few days. It's just that smoking tobacco causes a significant increase in the rate of carbon monoxide in the blood (CO) gas with a vasoconstrictor property. This gas contracts the arteries, narrowing the size, thus reduc

Tricycle Specially For Disabled People - 0 views

  •  
    Tricycle FOr Disabled People People with disabilities have often been excluded from mobility and access opportunities. Certainly, our public transport system has some way to go before it is even close to being accessible to everyone. With cycling for people with disabilities becoming one of the fastest-growing areas of interest in the cycling world, it is likely that cycling with its versatile simplicity and low running costs will succeed in providing access where other forms of transport have failed. Small-scale manufacturers are combining innovation with positive attitude and designing cycles that meet abilities. "Most of the people who depend on these tricycles are daily wage workers who have to travel long distances every day. The regular tricycles have no suspension and the riders are prone to spinal injuries. Most of them also cannot afford good medical care, and driving these tricycles for a long time affects their back," he added. We have several bicycles for people who have a problem with cycling. We produce special bicycles, tricycles, tricycles for children, adult tricycles, tandems, side by side bikes, wheelchair bikes, wheelchair transport bikes, a walking aid and a bicycle for the transport of 8 children. Benefits Lower extremity strengthening Reciprocal leg motion patterning Balancing skills Using visual, spatial perception for steering Social interaction with peers and neighbors Specifications 1.good quality and useful tricycle 2.for reasonable price Tricycle FOr Handicapped Children The most important requirements were: Stability The stability of the tricycle is very important for the safety of the user.

Child Care with Cerebral Palsy - 0 views

  •  
    Cerebral palsy-also known as CP-is a condition caused by injury to the parts of the brain that control our ability to use our muscles and bodies. Cerebral means having to do with the brain. Palsy means weakness or problems with using the muscles. Often the injury happens before birth, sometimes during delivery, or soon after being born. Physical symptoms typically appear in the first few years of life. Cerebral Palsy are frequently slow to reach developmental milestones such as learning to roll over, sit, crawl, smile, or walk. Cerebral Palsy occurs in 1 in every 300 children (Source: Center for Disease Control). Cerebral Palsy is a condition that effects the brain and nervous system and can cause many different symptoms ranging from extremely mild to extremely severe. There are different kinds of CP: spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, hypotonic, and mixed. We believe Sadie is spastic. Cerebral palsy (CP) children can also have learning problems, speech, problems with hearing or seeing (called sensory problems), intellectual differences, and behavioral or emotional challenges. Cerebral palsy does not always cause serious disabilities. Usually, the greater the injury to the brain, the more severe the CP. Cerebral Palsy (CP) can be mild, moderate, or severe. Mild CP may mean a child is clumsy. Moderate CP may mean the child walks with a limp. He or she may need a special leg brace or a cane. More severe CP can affect all parts of a child's physical abilities.Child with moderate or severe CP may have to use a wheelchair and other special equipment. Cerebral palsy is caused by damage or abnormal development to parts of the brain responsible for controlling muscles and movement. The damage or abnormal growth usually occurs before, during or shortly after birth. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive but ever changing condition; children with cerebral palsy will have high, low or fluctuating tone in their muscles depending on the level and extent of damage t

Phones, paper 'chips' may fight disease - CNN.com - 0 views

  • George Whitesides has developed a prototype for paper "chip" technology that could be used in the developing world to cheaply diagnose deadly diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis and gastroenteritis. The first products will be available in about a year, he said. His efforts, which find their inspiration from the simple designs of comic books and computer chips, are surprisingly low-tech and cheap. Patients put a drop of blood on one side of the slip of paper, and on the other appears a colorful pattern in the shape of a tree, which tells medical professionals whether the person is infected with certain diseases. Water-repellent comic-book ink saturates several layers of paper, he said. The ink funnels a patient's blood into tree-like channels, where several layers of treated paper react with the blood to create diagnostic colors. It's not entirely unlike a home pregnancy test, Whitesides said, but the chips are much smaller and cheaper, and they test for multiple diseases at once. They also show how severely a person is infected rather than producing only a positive-negative reading.
