About thirty years ago, it was first identified immunodeficiency virus, after which the scientists also diagnosed with one of the most feared diseases of our virus - AIDS. "The plague of the 20th century" - was the name given to the virus is spreading rapidly across the globe. Until now, there is no single drug, guaranteeing a full recovery. Despite development of new vaccines against AIDS Unfortunately, in the 21st century, mankind has been forced to admit: AIDS - is incurable .

AIDS worldwide

Then, in 1981, the number of infected counted in tens, in five years the number of patients has increased dramatically and reached the mark of 10 thousand people. According to the UN, every day 7,400 people infected with the virus. AIDS knows no borders, on the ground there is no country where there have been documented cases of contracting this dangerous disease. Today there are about 40 million infected. Died from the virus, more than 22 million inhabitants of our planet. And, as it is not sad, the other people infected with "the plague of the 20th century", waiting for the same fate. The average life expectancy of infected virus acquired immune deficiency is not more than 10 years.

According to the latest report of the Joint United Nations Programme on AIDS - «UNAIDS» 56 countries in the last decade succeeded in reducing the rate of new foci of infection of HIV and AIDS by 20%. First of all, the positive results achieved the countries of the African continent. Meanwhile, the greatest decrease in the number of cases seen in North America as well as Central and Western Europe - about 30%. Progress in Asia is much more modest, however, the situation is stabilized and new cases of the virus is becoming smaller. According to international experts, on the background of a general reduction of the positive trends in the incidence of AIDS and the worst things in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

According to UN , The number of infected in the last 10 years in Eastern Europe and Central Asia has increased in 4 times. At the same time, more than 90% of new foci of infection accounted for Russia and Ukraine. Marked 25% increase in the number of infected people in Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan.

AIDS in Russia

According to UN experts, HIV and AIDS in Russia   acquired the scale of a national catastrophe. While maintaining the current rate of infection in the country by 2050, its population could shrink by 30%, and in the most unfavorable forecasts up to 50%. As a result, after only nine, i.e. in 2020, it expected GDP losses amount to 10, 5%.

To date, official statistics "Claims" that in Russia at the end of 2010 the number of infected is 589,581 people, among them 5227 - children under 15 years. But the real figures could be several times more, about 1, 5 million people, or 1% of the adult population of Russia. And 2% of infections occur in young people between the ages of 15 to 30 years.

Every year there is a positive dynamics of growth of the incidence of the virus. For example, in 2007 there were 44,761 new HIV infections in 2008, the figure was already 54 563, in 2009 - 58,527, and in 2010 - 58 633. Despite the fact that immunodeficiency virus struck all regions of Russia, there is a uneven the spread of disease.

Of all the Russian regions in the number of new cases AIDS infection   leading Kemerovo region, where 100 thousand people is 144, 9 new carriers of the virus. It is followed by Samara region with the index - 117, 6. In the Irkutsk region, the figure is 110, 8, slightly inferior to the Sverdlovsk region - 109, 6, in the Leningrad region - 107, in Novosibirsk - 106, 3, in the Orenburg region - 96, 1 new HIV carriers.

These regions are also in the lead and the overall incidence of a deadly infection. So, in the Samara region for every 100,000 people there are 1226 registered 7 HIV-infected patients. In the Irkutsk region, the figure is 1196, 8, Leningrad - 1084, 9 in Sverdlovsk - 979, 9 people.

Many would agree that the statistical data is easily traced a direct relationship with a high level Addiction in these regions. Experts in one voice say, and statistical evidence shows that the main source of infection and the spread of HIV in Russia, as before, is the use of citizens who inject drugs.

Around the middle of the 90s in Russia there is a sharp jump in the number of heroin addicts. In view of the extremely high probability of infection when sharing a syringe, the rapid spread of AIDS started with this group. As a result, to date, 60% of Russian-dependent injecting drug users are the holders of the status "HIV-positive" .

At the same time, clearly outlined new trends . Firstly, the number of infected women is increasing from year to year, up to 40% of new infections accounted for the fair sex. Secondly, more and more exposed to infection of people aged 30 to 40 years. Third, an increase in the growth in the number of cases of infection through heterosexual contact is (40% of the number of new virus carriers), not homosexual, as is commonly believed, the number of which in 2010 was only 1, 3% of the total number of infections.

All these facts indicate that the "Risk"   It should include all the country's population. Exposed to infection mostly citizens of working age, regardless of sexual orientation.

  Statistic AIDS victims   It suggests that infection by no one is immune. Buy HIV status can be anyone, regardless of religion, nationality, social status, etc. This idea is the basis of International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of AIDS . Every third Sunday of May, millions of inhabitants of our planet as a sign of sympathy and mourning for those whose lives took this terrible disease, and organize various activities in order to once again remind everyone of the danger posed by this deadly virus.

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.

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.
