Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular diseases involve the blood vessels, the heart, or both. The cardiovascular or circulatory system supplies the body with blood. It consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. There are several types of cardiovascular disease, but treatment , symptoms, and prevention often overlap. The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease. CVD is commonly related to atherosclerosis, a process whereby fatty deposits ('plaques') form in your arteries, causing them to narrow and possibly block completely. When atherosclerosis affects the major arteries in the body it can cause a heart attack, ...

CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. Children who are obese are above the normal weight for their age and height. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once considered adult problems — diabetes , high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Many obese children become obese adults, especially if one or both parents are obese. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression. Body mass index (BMI) is acceptable for determining obesity for children two years of age and older. It is determined by the ratio of weight to height. The normal range for BMI in children vary with age and sex. While a BMI above the 85th percentile is defined as overweight, a BMI greater than or equal to the 95th percentile is defined as obesity by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has published tables for determining this in children. ...

TUBERCULOSIS

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that usually affects the lungs. Compared with other diseases caused by a single infectious agent, tuberculosis is the second biggest killer, globally. How Is It Spread? Through the air, just like a cold or the flu . When someone who’s sick coughs, sneezes, talks, laughs, or sings, tiny droplets that contain the germs are released. If you breathe in these nasty germs, you get infected. TB is contagious, but it’s not easy to catch. The germs grow slowly. You usually have to spend a lot of time around a person who has it. That’s why it’s often spread among co-workers, friends, and family members. Tuberculosis germs don’t thrive on surfaces. You can’t get the disease from shaking hands with someone who has it, or by sharing their food or drink. Who is at risk for tuberculosis? According to WHO, more than 95 percent of all deaths related to TB cases occur in low- and middle-income countries. People who use tobacco or misuse drugs or alcoh...

E-Cigarettes : Beneficial or Risk to life ?

What are E-Cigarettes ? E-Cigarettes are long tubes that usually resemble a cigarette, a cigar, a pipe, or a pen. Most are reusable, with replaceable and refillable cartridges, but some are disposable. The e-cigarette as we know it was invented by Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, working for Golden Dragon Holdings, now known as Ruyan. There are now over 460 different brands on the market. Benefits E-cigarettes claim to bypass many of the health risks of tobacco smoking, and to offer a more  healthful  alternative to cigarettes and other conventional forms of nicotine intake. Some studies have found that using e-cigarettes can help some smokers quit. Others suggest they offer “modest” benefits for those who want to quit smoking, but “good potential” for those who are cutting down. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conclude that e-cigarettes can benefit adult smokers who are not  pregnant , as long as t...
