Gradually, the pain intensity will decrease.

Pain from the back of the head   - The feeling that the head under pressure from the top of the head or neck. Most likely, the reason headache   Stress is the pressure of nerves. For example, a teeth gnashing at night, which leads to the voltage of the jaw muscles. Such pain may develop from poor posture during long sitting at the computer screen, which causes the voltage of the cervical and shoulder muscles. In both cases, the pain extends to the nerves of the head. Short bring pain relief, but the situation will change radically only removing the root causes. From gnashing of teeth makes a special mask, and on the posture you need to work on their own. Not bad helps Yoga.

A dull ache in the front of the head - Feeling of pressure, red eyes and fever. This is probably inflamed sinus under the eyes, nose and cheeks.

Problems with pressure: 10 dangers

Pathology of blood pressure - the most common disease among the Russians, evidenced by medical statistics. Statistics, unfortunately, very sad: the pressure drops provoke diseases of the cardiovascular system, ranks first among the causes of death. According to experts, all of us should be more attentive to him, because the blood pressure problems have ceased to be the lot of only pensioners.

Head heavy, pressing his temples, before the eyes of flies, incomprehensible weakness, drowsiness in the morning ... Familiar symptoms? Many of us complain about such ailments, often without thinking that their cause may be blood pressure problems .

What the "surprises" to expect from their Blood Pressure ?

1. I am not worried about my blood pressure .   Many people believe once they do not feel the pressure fluctuations, and the worry completely about. But experts warn that hypertension   ( high blood pressure ) Can occur without obvious symptoms, especially in the early stages. Condition of blood pressure is closely related to age, or more precisely - with hormonal stability organism. Men need to periodically measure pressure ranging from 25-30 years. Their vulnerability is caused by biological characteristics, and is compounded by numerous stresses. Women in this sense, are better protected due to estrogen. But with the onset of menopause, their "natural immunity" expires.

2. In fact, this is my "working pressure".   "Worker" referred to the pressure at which a person feels himself satisfactorily. However, if the tonometer showing numbers in the range of 160/100 to 180/120, this means that " working pressure "Exceeds the norm (its characteristics: no more than 139/89 mm Hg or below 90/60 mm Hg.) The fact that a person with high blood pressure itself feels quite normal, indicating a good state of his internal organs and blood vessels. More precisely, the fact that these agencies do their job. But at high pressure vessels, heart, kidneys and other organs suffer the additional burden, and therefore wear faster. Catch myocardial miokrada   or cerebral stroke   in this case it can be much faster. If you exceed the standard norms of the pressure by 10 mmHg the risk of complications is increased by 30%.

3. "guilty" heredity.   Well, in the families of hypertensive and hypotensive patients do often raising children, which subsequently begin to suffer from   problems with blood pressure . But experts insist: hypertension   and hypotension As such, are not inherited. It inherited predisposition to them.

For example, it is estimated that when the family of hypertension   both parents are affected, the risk that their child will also be hypertensive, is about 57%. If you suffer from hypertension only a mother - the risk is 30%, and if only the father - 13%.

But it turns out that even with the genetic predisposition of the disease can be avoided if to nullify the remaining risk factors. These include smoking, alcohol, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, excessive salt stress.

4. Wrong medication . Antihypertensive drugs   We should be selected strictly individually and administered gradually, especially if the person is suffering from heart failure. Some patients, for fear of addiction to drugs, it is believed that they should be changed more often. But to change the drug on their own, without medical evidence, you can not! The doctor should choose the drug and make the optimal dosage regimen. If it helps maintain blood pressure at the right level and does not give side effects, you should always stick to it.

5. My mother knows everything.   Even if someone from the family - high blood pressure, "veteran", turn to him for medical advice, like playing roulette. The chances that its recommendations will be effective in your case - the same as the probability and mismatch. Antihypertensive drugs - set (six groups), and are all very different in their properties. "Its' a medicine should be selected depending on the dynamics of pressure variations, comorbidities, and general condition. Properly to do so can only specialist.

6. Why take pills every day - it's chemistry!   Take the medicine only when Pressure jumps   - It is like taking contraceptives on mood. What happens, for example, at a time when jumped up pressure But it was quickly reduced the pill? Dramatically changing the condition of vessels: they first stretched and then, under the influence of the drug, narrowed. If such changes occur frequently, the inner surface of blood vessels is injured. For lesions "stick" blood cells - shaped tube, a blood clot. As a result, blood circulation, and if the clot breaks off and clog some small, but very important vessel - there myocardial infarction .   cerebral stroke .

Arterial hypertension   - A chronic disease, so drug therapy must be constant. It allows you to achieve a stable level of blood pressure. For health is most important.

7. Men treatments for hypertension cause impotence . In fact, some drugs from the group of B-blockers do reduce libido and prolonged use affect the quality of orgasm - especially in men with a family history of hypertension. However, these drugs have no effect on erection. As for other drugs (ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers), their response is much more optimistic. These drugs improve potency and enhance libido. Doctors warn: ignore pressure problems men can not. Men who do not receive treatment, reproductive function declines even faster than in smokers.

8. Low blood pressure - it is not scary, hypertension worse . Gipotonik really much less likely to face the risk of cardiovascular complications, but deceit hypotension   that over time it can be transformed into high blood pressure, and heavy, in which even a small increase in pressure is transferred very painful. In addition, hypotension often worsens the development of a number of diseases, such as anemia, neurosis , Vascular dystonia Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, endocrine system. Also, hypotension can cause disorders of potency in men. That is why the presence of this problem is very important to constantly monitor the pressure.

9. If hypotension always pulls on sweet . It's true. People with low blood pressure - is almost always a sweet tooth and Sony. The fact that the hypotension internal organs, including the brain, less blood supply. Exchange processes in hypotensive moderation, they often complain of decreased tone lethargy. The need for large volumes of sweet and Sleep is a physiological necessity for them. To feel relaxed, gipotonikam to sleep for 10-12 hours a day, and dessert for them is the best tonic.

10. In the reduced pressure can not be engaged in sports . Gipotonik try to avoid physical activity because it requires them to a very large impact forces. But experts insist that the people with low blood pressure, it, nevertheless, is needed. The main thing - to know how to distribute the load. Hypotensive is not recommended to make any sudden movements: the body must move smoothly from one state to another, and before exercise should always warm up. The same, incidentally, applies to the morning awakening: not worth waking up just to jump out of bed, better lie down and take some deep breaths and pull-ups.

Dashed speech

Why a child stutters? And what a doctor can cure it?

In the fall, my three year old daughter was in the hospital - accidentally swallows a coin, you had to get in using endoscopy under general anesthesia. After stressful experiences, we watched with passion, playing with the baby, and that puts in his mouth. But do not immediately realize that the incident changed her speech: she began to stutter, repeating syllables, especially in the form of doctors.

Woe from Wit

According to experts, stuttering affects 3-5% of children. And this figure each year has remained largely unchanged. But the reasons for change, leading to stuttering. Until a few decades ago, the main "culprits" were fear and stress: for example, a child or a frightened dog he suffered a serious illness. Today, for these reasons, we added new ones dictated by the seemingly well-intentioned parents, namely too zealous desire to develop the baby almost from the cradle.

- Look, what toys kids today! - Says Head of the 8th Department of the Children's Psychiatric Hospital № 6 Moscow Elena Karnauhova. - They're bright, irritating colors, rattle, jingle, pop. The musical alphabet in English and Russian. Parents have a child of 2-3 years are in school early development, foreign languages ​​are taught him, put his computer. What is the nervous system withstand such a load! Just Woe from Wit turns out!

Diagnosis - logoneurosis

Typically, the first stuttering manifests itself in the age of three, when there is a rapid process of formation of speech. The child learns many new words, trying to build a detailed phrases, parents are encouraging him in that, demonstrating the overdeveloped child familiar. But his nervous system is not yet ready for such loads.

Generally, children at this age are very sensitive, vulnerable, subtly react to changes in mother's mood. They may be exposed to various fears: fear of being alone in a room or go to sleep in the dark.
Sometimes the nervous system fails after: frightened dog, family conflict or the child suffered a serious illness.

If this background, traumatic events occur, it may be logoneurosis - so-called experts stuttering. In addition to the nervous system of a "responsible" and the speech organs: the organs of articulation, vocal and breathing apparatus.

In ordinary situations these systems operate smoothly, and then it turns smoothly, without pause, hesitation, repetition. But because of the involuntary spasm of smooth muscles in all three departments of the peripheral unit of the speech (articulation apparatus, vocal apparatus, the respiratory tract) is a violation of the rhythm of the speech - and that child has to repeat the sound several times before it will be able to pronounce.

Of course, it's not just smooth turns in children who have yet to master conversational skills. And adults can not always speak purely, without inserting before the words are endless, "e" and "well". But it is necessary to distinguish one thing - it is bad due to poor vocabulary and general inability to express thoughts, and another thing - it haltingly, seek medical reasons.

First signs

A child may suddenly stop talking, and then it comes back haltingly.

He repeats the first syllables or whole words at the beginning of the phrase.

Observed forced stop in the middle of a word, phrase, or before the speech.

Meets use extra zukov or syllables (emboli).

Any of the above symptoms - a signal to parents that a child's speech is not in order. The earlier you find it, the more successful the treatment will be. The most important thing in this case - to have time to correct the situation, until the baby is not yet fixed its own "unusual" and it did not become a target for ridicule fellow buddies. If you have time to see a specialist in this period, you can significantly ease the speech the child and prevent a further increase in the symptoms of stuttering.

How is it treated?

Stuttering - a serious speech impediment, and difficult to treat .  Success depends on many factors, and how severe forms of logoneurosis, and the willingness of the parents to help the child cope with this problem, and on the correct treatment .  It usually complex: medical, psychological and speech therapy .  Do not be afraid that your child prescription drugs, and the more abandon them .  They are necessary to stabilize the emotional state and create a favorable background for the psychological and speech therapy work .  At the core of stuttering are neurological disorders resulting from perinatal brain damage or other reasons .  Stuttering can wear in waves .  Like a child says smoothly, but the slightest stressful situation - and hesitation in his speech back .  Therefore, it is important to consult not only with a speech therapist, and a neurologist and child psychiatrist - these experts have in the local children's clinic .

Help parents

The first step is to create a calm environment the child. Protect it at the time from the TV and computer, eliminate noisy game trip.

Older children usually recommend limiting verbal communication, that is to say less, then you can include the child in a comprehensive correction of stuttering. But two or three years this regime children impracticable. They can try to use it whispered. Communicate with your child is recommended very calm, measured, clearly.

If your child stutters, do not tell him, "Wait ... start again ... sigh ...". This only reinforces his excitement before the speech. Say the word slowly, he is trying to say, and ask them to follow you again. But do not force not want to repeat - is not necessary, not the fruit of neuroses.

So kiddies very important mode of the day, a good restful sleep. But the sun it is contraindicated. Avoid walking sunlight, walk in the shade.

Expert opinion

Advises senior therapist Children's Psychiatric Hospital № 6 Moscow Valentine Trebuleva:

- There are certain speech therapy techniques to help your child get rid of stammering in speech. For example, speech therapy rhythm. She is to perform a variety of exercises and mobile games - music and in combination with speech. Do not forget about the development of fine motor skills: let the child playing with sand molds from clay, it goes through the rump.

It is very useful to learn how to say each syllable otstukivaya alternately every finger. Thus the child is coordinating the pronunciation of words with breath. On the other hand - it has a psychological effect: the tapping of rhythm a child is not so fixed on his speech, and it helps him cope with the excitement.

Glubokonedonoshennyh child from Kursk returned sight

Experts of the Kaluga branch of FSI IRTC "Eye Microsurgery" performed a unique operation a little patient from Kursk. Girl with a weight of just 1800 grams they got rid of retinopathy of prematurity.

Elizabeth E. born extremely premature at 25-26 weeks of gestation weighing 800 grams. She was immediately placed in a perinatal center. At the age of 7 weeks, the baby looked ophthalmologist. He took a picture of the retina of her eyes, and sent the image to the Kaluga branch of IRTC.

Experts analyzed the children's surgery department received the pictures and was diagnosed with a severe form retinopathy of prematurity   (3rd stage of post threshold retinopathy of prematurity at high risk of progression, with the localization of the pathological process in the central area of ​​the fundus), which when delayed treatment can lead to blindness. The girl was necessary to urgently conduct laser coagulation of the retina, which could only make in the Kaluga clinic.

5 March 2012 specialists of Kaluga Branch IRTC   We conducted an operation, and the next day the little Lisa was sent back to Kursk. Within two weeks of the baby future planned regularly examining ophthalmologist. He sent it fundus images in Kaluga Branch. Doctors IRTC   noted the complete regression of the disease. The girl kept the vision.

In the past few years, women have become much more likely to give birth prematurely. Modern technologies allow resuscitation nurse children, even with the weight of 500-600 grams. These babies have a lot of immature fetal abnormalities, including severe eye disease. Effective help for children with retinopathy of prematurity (in the early stages of the disease), doctors may provide only for the first two months of life. Timely operations preserve their eyesight.

Retinopathy of prematurity in Russia more than 30,000 affected babies. In the later stages, the disease leads to permanent loss of vision, and in severe forms - in blindness in children at the age of 4-6 months.

Diabetes proved to be cured

Diabetes - a disease, unfortunately, is incurable. In diabetes type 1 is necessary for life to prick insulin in diabetes type 2 - taking drugs to control blood sugar and indulge in many products. But it's not just the quality of life. In diabetes eventually develop serious complications from the heart, blood vessels (severe problem - the formation of the destruction of the capillary venous leg ulcers).

And now scientists have been able to approach the possibility of its own to restore the pancreas in diabetic patients (disease starts from the fact that the pancreas either does not produce insulin, or it is poorly absorbed). Professor Timothy Kieffer of the University of British Columbia argues that the stem cells can cure diabetes once and for all, writes The Daily Mail. In any case, experiments on mice learned much encouraging.

According to him, transplantation of cells can restore normal mechanism of insulin production in response to the rise or fall in sugar. Moreover, the effect of transplant and remained four months later: click on the belly eating sweets, but pancreatic copes with the processing of carbohydrates.

After some time, researchers tested what happened to the transplanted stem cells. It turned out that they are completely "assimilated" in the body of mice and had all the signs of normal pancreatic cells responsible for insulin production. However, in the animals that were used in the experiment, suppressed immune system, to avoid any rejection of transplanted cells.

Now scientists are developing an approach that will make it possible to protect the stem cells from immune attack, and therefore, the body of the complications associated with it.

Thoughts about female infidelity make sperm infertile

Suspicions of female infidelity is not just men deliver an emotional experience, but also make changes in the biological functions of the body. In particular, the changing composition of the male sperm, which loses a large amount of sperm that can fertilize the egg.

infertility

With such a resounding statement on the TV show SciShow made famous sexologist Lindsey Doe tell what changes occur in the sperm of men who think that the partner is unfaithful. According to the expert, it begins to dominate the sperm count, the main task is not fertilized, and the extermination of "competition."

According to Lindsay led the Dow, up to 40 percent of the male ejaculate is composed of so-called cells - the "kamikaze" or "fighters sperm", intended to crack down on the sperm of another man. Worth had an idea about female infidelity - and the number of these aggressive cells begin to grow in order to deal with the perceived threat. In the course of this "war" aggressive sperm use their tails, twisting them and creating "walls and barricades" on the way to a woman's egg. To break through this barrier fertilizing sperm can no longer.

As explained by the sexologist due to suspicions of treason composition of ejaculate changes: instead of the 40 percent of the cells become far more fighters. Since these sperm do not have the ability to fertilize an egg, sperm, male, in essence, becomes barren. At the same time the Dow has admitted that although this theory is known as sperm competition, actively discussed in the scientific world, some scholars deny it completely. (READ MORE)

Shot in the back

Lumbago, or, quite simply, a chamber in the lower back - is not a disease but a syndrome, which can be privately unpleasant episode, and may indicate a serious disease of the spine. How to sort out which is which, and the time to protect your own back?

Our expert - neurologist Helen Yureneva .

Oh, tsvetochki- berries!

The morning began with a change in the suburban flower bed. When finished, I lift heavy watering can with water - and suddenly, like a dagger blow to the back, and then penetrating, arching pain. Again cross ...

For gardeners is business as usual. But in the city of reasons to run into similar trouble at least: the child in his arms lift, the heavy bag from the store brought ...

Pinched nerve, spasm of the lumbar muscles - hence the attack of severe pain, which doctors call "lumbago". But many of us to the doctors with such a "trifle" not seek - a sore spot smeared with ointment, wrapped waist warm scarf, lay a day or two - and then everything is in order. For the time being. Because any pain - a wake-up call about the problems with health.

Interesting position

However, there is a "special version": pain experienced and many expectant mothers. Firstly, because during pregnancy femoral-sacral joints begin to relax under the action of the hormone relaxin, a child can easily pass during birth. Secondly, during the growth of the fetus changes the center of gravity of the body of a pregnant woman, curved spine, tense muscles and aching lower back.

Back pain necessarily need to be treated - otherwise there is the threat of an attack during childbirth, and it is dangerous for the mother and for the baby. There are non-drug methods - physiotherapy and chiropractic. Get rid of back pain also help special exercises, strengthens the muscles of the abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, as well as water aerobics, swimming.

Why bother

To what doctor to go, if the sore lower back? A neurologist. After the inspection you get a pack of destinations on the survey. And go they must be to make the correct diagnosis. Minimum - a general analysis of blood and urine tests, x-rays of the spine.

When osteochondrosis, it is desirable to make a computer or magnetic resonance imaging - not too much to clarify the degree of damage to the intervertebral discs (find out whether hernia) and check the condition of spinal roots.

Consultation will also need a nephrologist, gynecology, urology and other professionals. Causes of pain may be different - the defeat of the great vessels, kidneys, infection, benign and malignant diseases of the pelvic organs: in women - endometriosis, uterine fibroids, inflammatory disease of the ovaries; men - chronic prostatitis, and so on. d.

From the beginning to the final

When attack of lumbago especially important to limit the distribution area of ​​pain. Two or three days (at least!) Will have to stay in bed - flat and rigid. Lying on his back better, raising his bent knees, under which you need to put a couple of high pillows.

Relieves NSAIDs: gels and ointments, and in severe pain and prescribe pills that need to take 5-7 days.

The pain is gone? But this is not the end of treatment. Secure effects help physical therapy (magnetic therapy, electrophoresis, phonophoresis), massage and physiotherapy. If lumbago complicated by the displacement of the intervertebral discs, is a manual therapy.

At the same rake

Usually, the pain receded slightly, we are back to work, tackling the chores. And stepping on the same rake, we doom ourselves to even greater problems: often develop chronic lumbalgia or sciatica. When lumbodynia appear aching pain, which intensified when sitting, leaning, coughing. This complication is often develops in elderly people with osteoarthritis of the facet joints that connect the vertebral arches.

A sciatica will wear not only back pain, but in the course of the sciatic nerve (it runs down the leg being divided into smaller ones, which are in the hip, knee, shin, foot). And have not treated a week or two, and three months, or even longer.

Particularly dangerous "workaholism" for people with spinal osteochondrosis - against the background of the disease often have persistent pain symptom appears in the back and waist.

The defense for the spine

The best defense of the spine - prevention. After 30 take care about how long to maintain a direct and healthy back. Our main enemy today - lack of exercise. Strengthen the spine to help swimming, properly fitted load in the gym, try to walk more.

And, to protect their own spine, it is important to learn how to:

Cidet

the main thing - to create a support for the neck and lower back - do not lean forward or lean back on your chair or stool far back;
if you have a sedentary job, every 15-20 minutes, try to warm up, to change the position of the feet;
adjust chair under her seat in a car, use a massage chair cushion to relieve tension in the muscles.

Lie down and get up

bed should help relax muscles, but do not let the "sagging" of the back to keep the curves of the spine in a physiological position;
even the best mattress - not a 100% solution to the problem, a lot depends on the posture in which you sleep. It is better to lie on your side - it helps relieve the spine. The height of the pillow should fit the width of your shoulder;
waking up in the morning, several times a good stretch in bed, get up, making no sudden movements.

Stay

If you have a standing job, change your posture every 10-15 minutes, moving the weight from one foot to the other;
try at least once in half an hour ago to sag, pulling his arms up, taking a deep breath and exhale, to relieve fatigue from the muscles of the back.

Lift and carry weights

distribute the weight carried by gravity - do not wear a heavy bag in one hand, separate the contents into two, with a different weight. Periodically change bags in hand, to regulate the tension of the muscles of the body;
wear a baby in her arms only with straight backs.

Do homework

when cleaning, use a mop and a vacuum cleaner extension handle;
Use the ironing board and fit it at the height of its growth;
do not wash clothes, leaning over the bath, a basin to stand on a high pedestal;
Do not forget to be careful when working in the garden: the spine should be upright. Try to bend over as little as possible - get up on his knees or on his heels. Digging, do not pick up too much ground to shovel.
