Peptic Ulcers

Ulcers stomach
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your esophagus, stomach and the upper portion of your small intestine. The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is abdominal pain.

Peptic ulcers include:
  • Gastric ulcers that occur on the inside of the stomach
  • Esophageal ulcers that occur inside the hollow tube (esophagus) that carries food from your throat to your stomach
  • Duodenal ulcers that occur on the inside of the upper portion of your small intestine (duodenum)

It's a myth that spicy foods or a stressful job can cause peptic ulcers. Doctors now know that a bacterial infection or some medications — not stress or diet — cause most peptic ulcers.

Hyperthyroidism

symptoms Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism means your thyroid makes too much thyroid hormone. Your thyroid is a gland in the front of your neck camera.gif. It controls your metabolism, which is how your body turns food into energy. It also affects your heart, muscles, bones, and cholesterol.

Having too much thyroid hormone can make a lot of things in your body speed up. You may lose weight quickly, have a fast heartbeat, sweat a lot, or feel nervous and moody. Or you may have no symptoms at all. While your doctor is doing a test for another reason, he or she may discover that you have hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism is easily treated. With treatment, you can lead a healthy life. Without treatment, hyperthyroidism can lead to serious heart problems, bone problems, and a dangerous condition called thyroid storm.

Graves' disease causes most hyperthyroidism. In Graves' disease, the body's natural defense (immune) system attacks the thyroid gland. The thyroid fights back by making too much thyroid hormone. Like many thyroid problems, it often runs in families.

Sometimes hyperthyroidism is caused by a swollen thyroid or small growths in the thyroid called thyroid nodules.

Gallstones

symptoms gallstones
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in your gallbladder. Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid called bile that's released into your small intestine.

Gallstones range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Some people develop just one gallstone, while others develop many gallstones at the same time.

Gallstones are common in the United States. People who experience symptoms from their gallstones usually require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones that don't cause any signs and symptoms typically don't need treatment.

Underweight

causes of Underweight
Anyone who is 15 to 20% below the normal weight for age and height is classified as underweight, according to Krause (2000).

In real terms, this means that if you are an average woman between the ages of 25 and 50, and you are about 1.63 metres tall, your weight should be approximately 59 kg if you are not underweight.

As soon as your body weight falls to 50 kg (-9 kg or -15%), or even 47 kg (-12 kg or -20%), you are underweight. Expressed in terms of body mass index (BMI), our standard woman weighing 59 kg would have a BMI of 22. As her weight drops, her BMI would reduce to 18,8 (-15% of body weight), which is just still within the normal range, or 17,7 (-20% of body weight), which is below the normal range.

For a man aged 25 to 50 years, with an average height of 1,76 metres, a normal body weight with a healthy BMI of 23 would be 71 kg. Reductions of -15% and -20% of body weight would reduce our standard man's weight to 60 kg and 57 kg, with BMIs of 19,4 and 18,4 respectively.

Studies show that underweight patients of all ages face a 1.8 times greater risk for dying than patients with a normal BMI.

Epilepsy

epilepsy
Epilepsy is a cerebral nerve disease which is characterized by internal sensations of change or attacks.

Symptoms
There are two types of attacks: changes in internal sensations ( Petite Mal) or the loss of consciousness. These are the only symptoms produced by this type of attack; while in the case of other type there are convulsions and muscular movements.

Causes
Epileptic attacks are caused by electric disorders in the nervous cells of a certain section of the brain. The main causes may be:
  • Birt trauma – Inadequate oxygen supply to the brain.
  • Infections of the brain – meningitis, encephalitis, etc.
  • Accidents.
  • Ingestion of toxins.
  • Inherited disorders.
  • Hypoglycemia and bad nutrition.

Prevention
Avoid factors which tend to initiate it like: fatigue, too much eating or drinking, emotional stress and fever. These attacks may happen only once in a lifetime or quite frequently.

Treatments
Ginkgo Biloba: This plant has been proven to be more effective when administered together with the medication prescribed by your physician for preventing epileptic fits, whether a derivative of dopamine or something similar. The improvement is due to a greater quantity of blood, loaded with oxygen and nutrients, reaching the damaged areas so that the nerve cells are reestablished quicker, allowing the person’s damaged faculties to improve.
