Show 70% of the images was accompanied by a short electrical discharge in the arm member, which is produced through the electrodes.

"So we have linked images in the memory of the men with a sense of anxiety. In anticipation of the next discharge have been observed increased sweating, and brain scans showed that the area was a fear in the brain in these moments is particularly active, "- said Rene Gurlemann, MD Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany.

In the second part of the experiment half of the subjects were introduced into the organism Oxytocin   using the nasal spray. The rest received a placebo.

Many elderly patients with arthritis to the last attempt to avoid surgery, but sometimes they simply have no choice. Or surgical replacement of one (sometimes two) of the knee joint or a wheelchair for the rest.

Even today some American patients with arthritis proposed pilot Arthritis   using stem cells . Doctors take stem cells   bone marrow from the patient's hip and concentrated them in a centrifuge and injected back into the damaged joints. So far, these services can offer only a few doctors in the country.

Stem cells   are the only cells in the human body that can be transformed totally into any other specific cells. In the case of people suffering from arthritis, the stem cells are injected into damaged joints, which will soon turn into chondrocytes - the main cells of cartilage tissue. Additionally, stem cells enhance natural "reconstruction" process organism accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, prevent scarring of the skin.

One of the participants of clinical research, Dr. Christopher cents from the clinic Blumfelda city, Colorado, says that the results arthritis treatment   stem cells look awesome. Over a two-year test period of 200 patients received treatment. Two-thirds came more than fifty percent relief state, according cents, and 40% of the state has improved by more than 75%.

Adults argue that if children begin to consume alcohol under their control, that thereby they become abusing them. After all, children are often drawn to the forbidden fruit, and if ban on alcohol is removed, it will not be so attractive. In addition, parents They believe they can teach children " drink correctly "That is moderate.

Teenage Alcoholism

Experts British National Centre for the study of alcoholism and drug addiction was observed in 2 000 families for 4 years. It was found that in families in which the parents We are trying to teach children to moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages, It grew much stronger than the risk that the children are 16 years experienced the initial stage teen Alcoholism . Author of the study said that the results shocked scientists themselves.

It is proved that "teach to the Alcohol "does not work, and with the help of the parents do not achieve the goals, which put before crashing. And if young people aged 14-15 years is gradually habituated to alcohol, it is a major predictor teenage alcoholism . The study's authors urge parents to stop the practice.

Although the first bells may appear in 40 years and even before, as, for example, the boxer Muhammad Ali. The main manifestation - tremors and involuntary movements of the arms and legs, which are due to the withering away of neurons in certain areas of the brain.

Causes of this disease are not fully known - and atherosclerosis of the brain and injuries. Home Version - specific genetic defects that manifest themselves under certain circumstances. Treated this disease until recently largely symptomatic - neurological drugs and the means to improve cerebral circulation. But a few days ago the Austrian scientists have started clinical trials in humans the world's first vaccine against Parkinson's disease. This is the final stage of the research, then animal testing has been successful.

An experimental drug has been developed PD01A Austrian biotech company AFFiRiS, according to Medical News Today. The target graft is alpha-synuclein protein, which is associated with mutations in certain genes involved for the development of Parkinson's disease. The introduction of a vaccine designed to stimulate the production of antibodies to this protein.

To participate in the first phase of clinical trials were selected 32 patients with Parkinson's disease. During the first phase of research experts check the safety of vaccination for the human body and its portability. If all goes well, then in the next five years can give a "green light" for mass production and use of vaccines.

BTW

The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease:

1. Stiffness and slowness of movement, usually begin in the right half of the body, and then, after a while, gradually capture the other side.

2. Power of all muscles - increased tone. It is involuntary and eventually the patient limbs gradually bent, back ssutulivaetsya. Neuroscientists call this position "posture of the petitioner."

Stomach mope? You - gastritis!

His few people take seriously. Gastritis? Yes, I do not have it! Indeed, chronic gastritis - the most common disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Many live with him for years, almost without noticing. Quite another thing when gastritis - acute

A bolt from the blue

Acute gastritis, usually caught by surprise - in the morning feeling better than ever, and for lunch or in the evening a man does not know: writhing in pain in the abdomen, it wears vomiting, diarrhea, no strength. Why scourge? There are a few hazards.

Food poisoning - the most common cause of "sudden" gastritis. Simply put, this dangerous infection of the bacteria. The culprit may be yesterday's salad with mayonnaise or cream cake, a favorite with many meat with blood, and in the summer heat unsafe and dairy products - sour cream, cottage cheese, milk. In everyday life it is often called banal food poisoning. And many of us unaware - for such "poisoning" is bound to acute gastritis, that is inflammation of the stomach lining. Viral intestinal infections - such as rotavirus.

Chemicals that damage the gastric mucosa. Sometimes it may be drugs, for example, too high doses of NSAIDs. They can provoke acute gastritis is not only due to the direct irritation of the gastric mucosa, but also due to a violation of the molecular mechanisms for the protection of the gastric mucosa, so the disease can occur even with too frequent use of anti-inflammatory ointments.

Other "chemical options," triggering an exacerbation of gastritis - acute alcohol poisoning.

Allergic reactions. Some to acute gastritis may cause overloading of the stomach a large amount of unusual food, for example, on vacation abroad when it is difficult to resist the temptation to taste the dishes of a national cuisine.

Simple and not very

Inflammation can affect only the surface layer of the gastric mucosa - experts call such a simple or catarrhal gastritis. As a rule, it goes pretty fast, does not require serious treatment - our internal defense mechanisms to cope with it on their own.

But acute erosive gastritis (namely, it causes a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol, aggressive chemicals) runs hard: in this case, not only the surface destroyed, but the deeper layers of the gastric mucosa, muscular layer sometimes. This often gives rise to gastritis, peptic ulcer disease.

At home or in the hospital?

In addition to the classic symptoms of acute gastritis, and he has a "special signs" - clumps of dark blood in the vomit, stool is very dark in color. The duration of acute illness is typically 2-4 days. But a doctor should be sure to apply. Because, for example, vomiting, or abdominal pain may be pancreatitis or poisoning when an urgent need to wash the stomach, and may be a symptom of acute appendicitis. It is necessary to cause "fast" and not to take any medicine, not to lubricate the picture of the disease. If a doctor were bad suspicions, do not give up hospitalization - examination at the hospital will supply all the i's and make the right decisions.

Uncomplicated acute gastritis can be treated at home. In less severe disease, doctors usually prescribe drugs binders. If an attack of gastritis is accompanied by severe pain, antispasmodics are used further. When a state of moderate severity of need prokinetics, in heavy - dropper. It also happens that the need to help the surgeon.

According to a rigid schedule

Inflammation of the stomach is not up to the job, so when acute gastritis first day there can not be. However, and to the patient does not want to. But you must drink. Suit table water, sweetened tea, infusion of rose hips, but the juice is prohibited. The total volume of fluid should be up to two liters per day. At the same time, it is very important to be any drink warm.

The emergence of appetite - the good news: the worst is over, things got better. But in the next five days, the patient is waiting for the ascetic life. The main principle - the food should not irritate the stomach, so the dishes are boiled or steamed, give them to the patient in a shabby, almost unsalted and even more so without spices and herbs.

What is possible?   Start with viscous soups - rice or oatmeal, they can add a bit of butter. Next - liquid porridge: semolina, rice, buckwheat and oatmeal mashed. From lean meats, poultry and fish dishes are prepared, which passed 2-3 times through a meat grinder or blender to break. Allowed milk, steam souffle grated cheese. Eggs - only boiled or in the form of a steam omelette. Welcome jelly sweet berries and fruits, weak tea with milk or cream, broth hips.

Prohibited: yogurt, yogurt and any milk drinks, cheese, sour cream, plain cottage cheese, raw vegetables and fruits, bread, pastries, coffee, cocoa, brew soda.

When and how much: between diet food must be fractional: every 2-3 hours, 6 times a day, small portions. After 5-7 days, the menu can be expanded gradually and in two weeks to return to the usual diet.

Trigger

Not to be confused with acute gastritis and chronic aggravation. These are completely different things. Gastritis - general collective medical term. In fact, the so-called a number of diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract: acute and chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, ulcer, erosive gastroduodenitis and others.

Community gastroenterologists are now discussing how to call chronic gastritis, because, in fact, it is a distinct disease with its specificity. For example, in contrast to acute chronic gastritis may be asymptomatic. But once activated "trigger": tired of eating cold food from the stomach, or the lady tending to lose weight, she sat on a rigid diet, or a man entered the chronic stress ... In short, a lot of factors, and anyone can make a secret revealed.

Learn the truth

The attack can occur and disappear. But after a while he would repeat, once, twice, three times. What next - the more often. Usually between the "first bell" to refer to a gastroenterologist takes two or three months - on the problem of "get" and a desire to get rid of them.

What are the symptoms can be understood that this "Chronicle"? During normal or increased secretory function of human stomach during exacerbation feels heartburn, "acidic" belching spilled stomach pain, constipation for some characteristic. When the secretory failure after eating the stomach "bursting", there is belching air, mushy stool.

Establish the truth will examined by a gastroenterologist, which begins with laboratory diagnostics (biochemical and clinical blood tests), then performed a gastroscopy: that it allows you to detect changes in the gastric mucosa - the presence of edema, the degree of redness, atrophy, the presence of erosions, the prevalence of the process, and so on. Etc. . Do not be afraid of this study: in good clinics it is carried out with anesthesia. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe additional examinations. There are different forms of chronic gastritis, accurate diagnosis depends on the particular scheme and the success of treatment.

However, all in order. Did you know, for example, that each of us has at the two ears, and the whole ... six (three on each side)?

The outer ear is according to its name - from the outside and consists of skin and cartilage. By the outer ear and ear canal is, which is used to gather earwax.

Between the outer and middle ear, which is a small cavity filled with air, it is the eardrum. She, in turn, by vibrations of the air, that is, the sound moves and transmits sound vibrations within three smallest bones in the body - the hammer, anvil and stirrup.

Middle ear cavity communicates through a channel called auditory or Eustachian tube with the nasal cavity.

Pipe the need to equalize the pressure between the cavities and to give the outflow of the liquid, which allocates the middle ear mucosa. The inner ear is also a small cavity, but filled with a liquid. Here are located the organs of perception - the labyrinth and the cochlea, which process fluid vibrations into electrical signals. As the nerve fibers are sent to the brain where they are processed and interpreted.

Proved: soda brings to stroke

Causing ischemic attacks, stroke, seriously damages the brain cells, limiting the ability of a person and even lead to death. Contrary to the belief that stroke often overtakes men, women, the disease claim more lives than breast cancer.

One of the risk factors for stroke is the regular consumption of carbonated beverages. This conclusion was made by Japanese researchers from Osaka University. Their observations, which lasted 19 years, showed that women who daily drink at least one glass of soda, 83% more likely to suffer an ischemic stroke, compared with those who did not drink it. Audience research included 40,000 women aged 40-59 years. Their indicators of health and well-being daily recorded by scientists. For the duration of the experience of the two thousand of its participants had a stroke.

In contrast to the fairer sex, men were more resistant to the harmful effects of sugary pops. Scientists note that the men of this relationship hemorrhagic stroke or heart disease as women who are not observed. Although this does not mean that men can safely drink carbonated beverages in any amount, experts have warned women especially - they should avoid absolutely all kinds of soda.

For reference:

The main causes of ischemic strokes are blood clots and emboli in vessels: in 85% of cases of ischemic stroke is due to the fact that a thrombus is detached and falls into the brain, blocking the blood flow. Risk factors for stroke in men and women, mainly, are the same - it is the presence of a family history of stroke, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, cardio-vascular system, elevated red blood cell count. However, there are specific "female" risks. For example, the risk of stroke increases with an increase in blood pressure during pregnancy. Young women suffering from migraine, and taking oral contraceptives, also at high risk.

There are things that we do not think. Oh, that's that, and we always hear, it seems to us

The experts do not share this logic. Rumor - quite subtly arranged mechanism, responsive to all, sometimes the slightest changes in the body or outside influence. The most common causes of hearing loss include:

Years

Today in Russia, more than 13 million people suffer from hearing impairment. Of these, more than 1 million - are children. There are many reasons: prematurity, birth trauma, infectious diseases of the future mother and the child, and so on. D. In this case, about 50% of all hearing disorders are hereditary.

Yet most impressive army of patients with hearing loss are older people. If 45 years hearing problems experienced 17% of the population after 65 - 35%. Age-related changes in auditory organ cover all its parts - the outer ear, ear canal, tympanic cavity, ear labyrinth. Auricle becomes thin, sagging, shrinking the auditory canal and the eardrum thickens, becomes cloudy. System bones of the middle ear becomes stiffness, the joints between the bones worse functioning. But the main cause of hearing loss in the elderly - a sound-change system, certain changes occur in the brain cortex.

Diseases

The most dangerous for the hearing system complications of acute otitis media, chronic suppurative otitis media. In this case, in the ear canal may be formed scars, which limit the mobility of the eardrum, the auditory ossicles, which leads to permanent hearing loss. Another very common cause of acquired hearing impairment - complications of infectious diseases: mumps, measles, scarlet fever, influenza. Even a simple cold can reduce the hearing at a time of 10-15 decibels. In addition to infectious disease can affect hearing loss rheumatoid arthritis, Meniere's disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis.

Trauma

These include and injury if misused cotton swabs for cleaning of accumulated ear wax, which may be accompanied by damage to the inner ear. Other causes of hearing loss include ingress of water into the ears of swimmers. Hearing loss in this disease is associated with the accumulation of large amounts of fluid behind the eardrum.

Ototoxic drugs

Adversely affect the ears (children and adults) receiving ototoxic antibiotics, loop diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They need to take great care.

When we gain weight, our bodies become less sensitive to insulin, which helps to delay the sugar into the cells. If the impact of insulin decreases, the grease passes the organs, including the liver. This causes   steatosis That infects the liver as much as alcoholism. Over time, the fat shell can lead to cirrhosis.

Liver trouble - a threat to the whole body, since this organ is vital for the process of digestion. The liver cleanses our body against infections, helps neutralize toxins and drugs. That's why liver cirrhosis in most cases leads to death.

It may be ultrasound, X-ray, tomography (usual or computer), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used contrast discography - a study of intervertebral disc myelography, allows you to explore the spinal cord and nerve roots, elektrospondilografiyu (ESG) - computer diagnostics of the spine.

Depending on the cause of the disease, its stage, the doctor may prescribe drugs, including pain relievers. Used physiotherapy, massage, physiotherapy. In some severe cases it can go on the surgery.

But no matter how hard the doctors if the person does not move more, physical activity, the muscles of the back will be the same weak and sciatica can always go back. It is important to not only relieve pain, but also to prevent recurrence. To do this, you need to constantly monitor the health of the spine, to comply with the doctor's recommendations and review lifestyle.

Our "cross" everywhere ripe

Sudden pain - "cross" - usually appears at a certain motion of the body, most often - when bending forward at the same time turning aside

Our expert - doctor vertebrologist Anatoly Borisov .

Early summer. The holiday season is in full swing. We gardeners at this time not a single free moment. All the time they spend, hunched, on their plots: planting, watering, spud, weed, fertilize. Sometimes, after a long day on the beds, not so much sit back and relax, but also to straighten something once. And sometimes do it becomes impossible - so much comes back, that man and remains standing in the pose of the letter "G" until the pain let go.

"Tops" and the "roots" of the disease

In Latin «radicula» - is the root. Accordingly, sciatica - a disease caused by the defeat of the spinal nerves. The cause of the disease can be mechanical changes in the intervertebral discs and joints, ligaments, muscles, or nerve fibers, causing pinching of the nerve root. It is because of this and there is a lot of pain. Extension of the trunk from a bent position, combined with the rotation of the side - a very large load on the lower back, and if in the spine already have degenerative changes, such as, for example, low back pain (aging intervertebral disc) or the intervertebral hernia, the risk of sciatica increases. And since we know that the aging spine begins after 17-20 years, the chance encounter with sciatica there is even the young. However, most people suffer from sciatica 35 to 65 years.

By the way, although we call sciatica back pain, really sick with the illness can and elsewhere. Depending on the order in which the spine are affected roots, distinguished lumbosacral, chest, shoulder and neck and upper cervical sciatica. But all the same "cross" in the lower back - the most common.

If the acute low back pain appeared for the first time, it is necessary, first, to take the right treatment, and secondly, given what happened, then do everything in order to not become chronic sciatica. "Backache" is almost everyone, and if treated properly, it will pass unnoticed for several days. Only in severe cases need to be treated for 2-3 weeks. On the treatment of acute back pain will talk about later, but first - how to prevent repeated episodes of illness.

Ask the muscles to work!

One of the pillars of prevention is to strengthen the muscle corset back .  It is often the cause of "lumbago" are weak or muscle spasm .  Therefore, it is important to maintain a constant physical activity, regular strengthening the back and avoiding an excessive surge .  That is the tendency to radiculitis should not wield the country Stakhanovite methods of trying to perform a "five-year plan in three years" .  Better take your time and at your pleasure, to do as much as allow forces .  A daily 10-15 minute morning gymnastics certainly cause illness in time to retreat .  Just need to pick up a special set of exercises that enhance flexibility and strengthen muscles lumbar abdomen and buttocks, as well as helping to stretch the hamstring .  Push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups - that's the optimal triad, which will save a person from the treacherous "stab in the back" .  However, if the age and condition do not allow such exercises can be together with your doctor to choose an individual set of simpler .  Only need to perform exercises on a regular basis, not just once from .

Good prevention of sciatica - the systematic physical exercise, and those that are evenly develop all muscles of the body, such as swimming. By the way, this sport is suitable for almost all well and removes the burden from the spinal column. Amazing prevention of diseases of the back handle and yoga.

Less is better

The second important condition for strong spine - a caring attitude of its owner .  Therefore it is very important not to overextend your back .  Many believe that the reason for "lumbago" - weight lifting, but in fact it is not so .  The impetus for the emergence of chronic pain in the lumbar spine provides long incorrect posture in combination with age-related changes .  Therefore, it is important to constantly monitor the posture: at home, sitting in front of the TV and at work .  Those who spend time in the office, you need to get a chair with a headrest and backrest anatomically shaped .  Drivers must buy a comfortable chair in the car, but still use the massage cushion seat - this will relieve the tension from muscles .  Sleep better on the side - this posture helps to relieve the spine .  The height of the pillow should fit the width of your shoulder .  And when working in the country can be used semi-rigid corset, which will save you from unpleasant consequences of involuntary sudden movements .

Speaking of weight. They also need to lift correctly. Firstly, the weight of the load must be distributed evenly on both sides to the spine Skewing (not for nothing in Russia was made to carry water yoke, and not to carry a bucket in one hand). Second, it can not be tilted back, lifting weights. Correct slightly bend the knees and sat down, take a load.

Beware of hypothermia and prolonged standing. And beware of infectious diseases (flu, sore throat, rheumatism), which is also bad for the joints and spine. If possible, avoid stress, cultivate a positive attitude to life, and your body (including the lower back) will tell you thank you for it.

Bed rest and chill

Now about what to do if the "cross" still occurred. The first thing you need to take a horizontal position. The pain subside a little bit, if you lie on your side, slightly bent legs (this pose helps to relax the large muscles in the spine). You need to back wrap woolen scarf. Bed rest is necessary for a few days. Excessive use of painkillers is not necessary as they only relieve symptoms but do not cure. Therefore correct to take one of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs are able to cope even with very severe pain. However, note that many drugs in a series of NSAIDs are very bad influence on the gastric mucosa, so may be contraindicated to anyone who suffers from a stomach ulcer. Therefore, when choosing the best medication to consult with your doctor and do not exceed the recommended dose.

Topical agents (creams and gels), as a rule, do not have any significant activities. They will help only if the pain in the lower back emerged from the stretching of muscles or fatigue, but not because of sciatica. By the way, apply heat or take hot baths at "lumbago" categorically impossible: the heat will increase swelling and inflammation, and will only get worse. On the contrary, the local impact on the cold sore spot may help in this case.

It is better to remove the sharp pain as quickly as possible, because if the process drags on, the greater the risk that the disease will become chronic. And it will be more difficult to cure.

According to the World Health Organization, every third inhabitant of our planet is infected with tubercle bacillus. Every year, tuberculosis kills about 3 million lives a man (despite the fact that compared to the last decade of the last century, the incidence rate decreased by 40%).
To stop the epidemic - one of the priorities of doctors around the world. The fact that in recent years, new strains of the virus resistant to the main anti-TB drugs.

The main symptoms of tuberculosis: a heavy, long not passing cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, malaise, weakness, fever, sweating.

In recent years, new, modern means of diagnosis of the disease. Rapid tests can detect the disease early and start treatment in time (as long as that is the only way to completely conquer tuberculosis and prevent the spread of infection).
According to experts, in 2011, tuberculosis was identified in 8, 7 million people. During the same time period tubercle bacillus killed 1, 4 million adults and almost 65 000 children. Timely treatment received only every fifth patient.

Tuberculosis in Russia - more than the disease

Tomorrow, March 24 - World Day to Combat tuberkulezom.Rovno 130 years ago, Dr. Robert Koch discovered the tubercle bacillus. This was the first scientific breakthrough in the way of diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. Current therapy is easy to cope with the disease, although in its early stages. But because of the late diagnosis of tuberculosis in Russia is still the majority of dying patients.

According to WHO, our country is on the list of 22 countries in the world with the highest incidence of tuberculosis (about 35% of all newly diagnosed patients). In 2010, the Federal Service indicates active TB in Russia It was found in 100 000 people, and statistics Health Minister says that it is Koch's bacillus was the most common infection, bringing the death of our fellow citizens. Development of the disease is closely related to the spread of HIV infection, as the weakened body less resistant to the dangerous virus.

Long-term diagnostics and poor organization treatment of tuberculosis   led to the spread of the pathogen forms of multi-drug resistant (MDR-TB). They require more expensive and prolonged treatment and often lead to the death of patients.
To date, the proportion of MDR-TB among new cases is about 10%, and the prevalence among all consumptive than 20% on average in Russia, reaching in some regions 30%.

Another cause for concern - the emergence of forms TB in Russia   Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), in which the patient's body does not respond to first-line agents, or a number of drugs from the second.

In the past few years, the problem of tuberculosis Health Minister pays more and more attention. Changing the organization itself   treatment of tuberculosis As well as the fight against this disease has become one of the priorities in the health system of the country. However, the measures taken are insufficient.

"As to the socio-economic factors account for 75-80% of all problems associated with tuberculosis, and factors related to health and medicine, only 20-25%, need considerable support from the federal and regional authorities. It is necessary to create a network of specialized services to carry out bacteriological tests ... so many things to do, that detect the disease early and treat it properly, "- said the director of the Central Research Institute of Tuberculosis RAMS, MD, professor, corresponding member RAMN.Vladislav Erokhin.

Fighting Acne: what methods are effective

In pursuit of a clean skin, we use all means available, but many of them are not working. As a result, acne is becoming more self-confidence and everything falls below. How to get rid of acne?

In varying degrees of acne affects 80% of adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 25 years. This is usually due to hormonal changes in the body that increases the production of sebum. It clog the ducts of the sebaceous glands which leads to the appearance of acne: blackheads and pustular rash. There are myths that pimples appear also due to the supply or subcutaneous mite Demodex. However, science is not proven neither one nor the other, but noted that healthy food helps in the healing of acne. How to remove pimples?

"The scheme of treatment is chosen depending on the age - says the doctor-dermatologist A. Usmanov. - For example, 16-year-old usually lack a thorough external maintenance, 20-year-old should be checked hormonal status and examined by a gynecologist or endocrinologist, perhaps they will be assigned additional drugs for oral administration. "

Squeezing acne, "against"

Acne deliver any kind of a lot of inconvenience in communication, alarming and psycho-emotional discomfort, so the first thing I want to do - squeeze them, watching as they "shoot". However, this can not be done. The fact that the pressure-sensitive pimple leaves only the surface portion thereof. The rest goes deeper into the skin, provoking the emergence of new acne. In addition, the channel is breaking under the fingers of the sebaceous gland, because of this a secret even more difficult to go outside, he again clog pores and new acne.

Cleaning the face: "pros" and "cons"

For a long time cleaning person was considered almost a panacea for acne. Indeed, the removal of comedones is the prevention of new inflammation, so treatment on the background of cleansing is more effective. Recently, however, this technique has been criticized. For example, the Russian cosmetologist S. Kovalev believes that cleaning person or mechanical hardware, traumatize the skin. "It takes 2-3 weeks before you manage to eliminate the consequences of the procedure, as represented by the newly accumulated sebaceous plugs and cleaning must be repeated. All this leads to rapid aging of skin, "- says the doctor.

Exterior cosmetics and medicines: "for"

Modern cosmetic market offers a huge range of tools to eliminate and prevent acne. As the need for their use in other procedures evaporates. Moreover, no longer relevant surgical techniques, which are now resorted to only in extreme cases. The line means there are all sorts of lotions and masks. They dried sebum, kill bacteria and stimulate exfoliation of dead skin flakes.

  "Please note that for every skin type requires its own cosmetics - explains Professor N. Short. - An approach based preparations of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, others quick positive effect observed after application of lotions containing erythromycin ("Zener") and so on. "

  In addition, you need to check that the medication does not contain alkaline and had a mild effect on the skin, then it will not break the lipid balance of the skin and will not cause new inflammation.

Beauty treatments: "for" and "against"

Procedures acne treatment   very expensive and at the same time, some experts believe, unnecessary. For example, laser therapy is more suitable to eliminate the effects of acne - small scars far and wide, and phototherapy itself provokes the need for further rehabilitation of the skin, as in the treatment of acne deprive it of moisture and minerals.

Medication: "for"

Preparations for oral administration are appointed only in severe cases. Most often it is antibiotics, which suppress an overabundance of bacteria and reduce inflammation. However, it is important that young people who take them are under regular medical supervision, as most funds have side effects. If time does not warn them against the background of acne can make more trouble.

Conclusion

Thus, the most effective method acne treatment   today is the personal care, skin care and diet external preparations. Only in some situations, the doctor may prescribe additional treatments and procedures.

Endometriosis in adolescents: the history 4

March 2013 declared the International Association of endometriosis "Month to raise awareness about endometriosis." So that more people know about this disease, MEDIKFORUM contributes by publishing a series of post-history of our expert gynecologist Oksana Bogdashevskoy about real cases of endometriosis.

Masha 18 years. At the reception it brought my mother - excited, loud, restless. In Masha painful menstruation. Very painful.

It was hard to talk. My mother tried to present a complaint to evaluate and draw conclusions. Prolix and noisy, she sincerely believes that it can better describe the complaint daughter daughter. Masha - an adult over the age of confidentiality girl. Align mother out of the room it was only after 10 minutes.

From history
Menstruation from 13 years, established immediately.
Regular - every 28-30 days.
Moderate.

In order to assess the severity of pain, we are using your - visual pain scale from "0" to "10", where at "0" no pain, and "10" - this is the most unbearable pain imaginable. Masha assessed pain during menstruation in 9 points.

- Monthly once were so painful?
- No, at first just unpleasant ache. And six months later already well so sick. Mum to me that just does not come on! And Nospanum and baralgin.
- A Nise, Nurofen tried?
- Yes, we all have tried. I already ketanov not help.
- The sexual life of the age to live?
- I do not live.
- Quite quite? No-way?
- No (smiling).

In the days of menstruation Masha does not study, does not meet with friends or hanging "in contact". Three or four days each month lying in Masha "pose sic" and grunts. With meticulous survey it found that in those days, Masha has difficulty with urination and defecation. The severity of constipation is estimated at 10 points on the VAS.

From history
Inspection and productive Vaginoscopy information is brought to - all right.
Pelvic ultrasound - corresponds to the phase of the menstrual cycle. Everything works like clockwork.

Generally, primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods), "normal" for a symptom of adolescence. However, 10% of   dysmenorrhea in adolescents   is secondary, that is associated with other disorders. Endometriosis - not uncommon at this age. According to the World Endometriosis Association, 38% of women, the symptoms of the disease first appear before the age of 15 years.

The presence of secondary dysmenorrhea can be assumed in the following cases:
• in patients who do not respond to commonly used to treat primary dysmenorrhea first-line drugs (NSAIDs and CCO);
• if dysmenorrhea occurs shortly after the menarche (within the first 6 months), because, as a rule, primary dysmenorrhea develops later, from the time of ovulatory cycles (in the middle and late adolescence).

Symptoms of endometriosis in adolescents may differ. Only 9.4% of adolescents complain cyclic pain, but more than 90% of them note acyclic dysmenorrhea pain with or without.
In the case of suspected endometriosis is usually applied a stepwise approach in the selection of medication. First-line drugs are NSAIDs (Nise, Nurofen, ketoprofen, etc.) And the COC in a cyclic or continuous mode.
With the ineffectiveness of these methods is recommended to carry out a diagnostic laparoscopy.

Features laparoscopic diagnosis in adolescents

The question of "to operate - not to operate" very complicated. Clear guidelines for today do not. Laparoscopy may be imposed in order to confirm the diagnosis of endometriosis in adolescents with generalized severe pelvic pain, in case of failure of medical therapy. In young patients often detected atypical endometrial lesions in the form of bubbles and pockets of bright red, extremely rare heterotopia classic color "powder burns".

The recommendations of the Canadian Society of Obstetricians Gynecologists 2010 Endometriosis: Diagnosis and management (Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada 2010; 32 (7): 1-28)
1. Endometriosis - the most common cause of secondary   dysmenorrhea in adolescents .
2.   adolescents with endometriosis   are more likely than adult women, there is an acyclic pain.
3. On physical examination of adolescents with endometriosis rarely detected are any deviations, as most of them have the disease at an early stage.
4. Endometriosis in adolescents is often characterized by atypical manifestations. During the laparoscopy revealed atypical endometrial lesions in the form of bubbles and pockets of bright red color.
5. All the available methods of treating endometriosis are acceptable for teenagers, but should take into account the age of the patient and side effect profiles of drugs.

From history
We have put Masha diagnosis of "secondary dysmenorrhea. Suspicion of external genital endometriosis. "
Her mother angrily rejected the proposal to take COCs. The idea of ​​a diagnostic laparoscopy she also did not like. Visan decided to choose as the lesser of two evils.

Against the background of the first package of the drug, bothered spotting and drowsiness. Mom Masha was in a panic. With great difficulty, persuaded to continue receiving, using blackmail and easy voicing average price diagnostic laparoscopy. "Miracle" was already on the second package - the pain is almost gone. Masha assessed their pain by 2 points. Another good news was the complete disappearance of the problems with constipation. She continues treatment for 6 months. It feels great, depression, which so frightened mother reading the instructions, did not come. Masha still does not live sexual life.

We are faced with the question - what do we do next? How long will it take the drug? The unequivocal answer I have. I hope that from day to day priskachet prince on a white horse, and I'm in good conscience translate Masha Kok. We wait-with.

A child with alcohol syndrome can be born in any family

FAS - fetal alcohol syndrome. So called disorder that occurs when the mother used alcohol during pregnancy. It is a combination of mental and physical birth defects that occur shortly after birth and remain for life.

Fetal alcohol syndrome

The most beautiful baby lying in your wheelchair, said to me one day in-law. My most beautiful child 11 years, and all these years I have to agree with her mother in law: mother's eyes look at the world from a certain angle. Maternal instinct, including immediately after the birth, so reconstructs the perception that "mimishnye Lialechka" from magazines, babies, advertising diapers, do not seem so sweet and charming. Because the most charming, so that there is the most beautiful baby in the world, only one - the one that is in your wheelchair.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, becoming a mother, I can not stop looking at the world through the eyes of an obstetrician-gynecologist. Leave to care for a child every mother, I - not the exception - is found with a lot of kids who ride in carriages, leading to the clinic, to the rocker or swing seated mold mud pies in the sandbox. Gliding through the eyes of children face, my brain automatically mutilated medobrazovaniem said: "FAS! And this FAS! ... It is likely, too, FAS! "

In 1973, two groups of scientists: K.L.Dzhones and colleagues (USA) and P.Lemoen et al have described the first time the FAS. The picture is quite diverse: pre- and postnatal degeneration, craniofacial dizmorfiya, brain damage. Children are born with LBW and inadequate length of the body, behind a raise in height and weight. Craniofacial dizmorfiya so common that "a person with alcoholic baby syndrome" you can easily learn in a sandbox and a group of kindergarten:
- Short palpebral fissure,
- Epicanthus,
- Ptosis,
- Strabismus
- Low bridge,
- A thin upper lip,
- Deep-seated ears,
- Microcephaly.

The three-year Maxim Kuzmin, adopted by spouses from Texas, had all the typical features of FAS. 01/21/13 baby died. US forensic experts determined that death occurred from the rupture of arteries as a result of the trauma of Maxim himself.

You can argue long, it was, and who is to blame. But it is known that the biological mother of Maxim was deprived of parental rights for antisocial behavior associated with alcoholism. A child was considered hyperactive and received sedatives.

Signs of damage to the nervous system in patients with FAS may occur immediately after birth:
- Tremor,
- Seizures
- Hypotonia.

In the future, say the development of so-called "hyperactivity and attention deficit", memory impairment, mental retardation.

From malformations common abnormal location of the fingers, hip dysplasia, hypospadias, malformations of the vagina, imperforate anus, heart, pathology of hearing and vision.

These children face serious difficulties in obtaining education. The offenses attract attention or addiction police. Deviation of sexual behavior, alcoholism, inability to live among humans. Unfortunately, the prognosis is poor. FAS - the disease is incurable. Even a mild form of FAS in the fetus leads to serious problems in the child.

- Yes, children from disadvantaged families - this is a problem. Children of alcoholics - this horror, the horror!

No. "The horror, the horror" in another. Children with FAS are born in the most common socio-affluent families.
There is no safe dose of alcohol!
Group risk for the general health of women is the use of 4 or more standard drinks per week. For pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy, the use of any amount of alcohol is risky.

1 dose - 340 g of 5% beer 141, 75 g of 11% of the wine or 42, 53 g of 40% vodka or brandy.

If a woman is pregnant or planning a pregnancy - complete abstinence from alcohol.

If a woman uses contraception regularly, or using ineffective methods of contraception - pregnancy is possible. Make a choice: reliable contraception and / or avoiding alcohol.

- How do you protect yourself?
- Nothing.
- Why?
- Well, if I get pregnant, I'm going to give birth.

It is wonderful. It's wonderful that a woman does not plan to have an abortion. The catastrophe is that she is not planning a healthy baby. Shall we never be able to reach out and explain that elementary folate intake, basic changes in lifestyle and nutrition, minimum training and complete abstinence from alcohol, smoking and drugs are absolutely necessary.

- Well, I already have a child. I did not do this, I drink occasionally, even during pregnancy, some beer or red wine. The baby is fine!

The birth of a healthy baby does not guarantee that subsequent children will also be born healthy.

Look at the children, falling on his back and feet hitting the supermarket. Look at children with difficulty assimilating program of the first year of secondary school. You do not dream about it, right?

Endometriosis in postmenopausal women

March 2013 declared the International Association of endometriosis "Month to raise awareness about endometriosis." So that more people know about this disease, MEDIKFORUM contributes by publishing a series of post-history of our expert gynecologist Oksana Bogdashevskoy about real cases of endometriosis.

It is believed that endometriosis is not found in women with menstrual function extinct: no menstruation - no endometriosis. Unfortunately, women with natural menopause, the risk of recurrence of endometriosis is 3, 7% in women with surgical menopause - 2, 7%.

Mercifully left ovary after surgery increases the risk of renewed pain in 6, 1 and 8 times, 1 times increased risk of reoperation compared to women, which was removed and the uterus and ovaries. Therefore, the possible recurrence of the disease should always think of women with a history of hysterectomy and classic symptoms of endometriosis - pain.

The first case of endometriosis in postmenopausal women has been described as early as 1950. Since then, periodically there are similar publications, causing permanent interest.
J.C. Rosa-e-Silva and colleagues presented three cases of histologically confirmed disease in postmenopausal women without a history of endometriosis, never received HRT (hormone replacement therapy):

• A woman aged 62 - endometrioma, pelvic pain

• A woman aged 78 years was found endometriosis in postoperative scar after gistrektomii produced 20 years ago

• A woman of 54 years (from 48 years of menopause) diagnosed endometriosis in the rectovaginal septum

It is interesting that in postmenopausal women are more common extragenital endometriosis (large and small intestine, bladder, urethra, lung, liver and skin) and endometrioma.

Diagnosis in such cases is much more difficult. First of all doctors think the exclusion of cancer. Especially difficult to correct diagnosis patients, without reference to a history of endometriosis. The unequivocal answer to the question, it is primarily caused endometriosis or recurrence of an old undiagnosed, does not exist. In relation to endometriosis is dominated by theories and hypotheses. The absolute is believed that surgical treatment should be the first step in the treatment of patients with endometriosis, revealed for the first time in postmenopausal women.

In practice, gynecologists often worried about whether you can conduct HRT patients with endometriosis? Do not use estrogens provoke relapse? And this question is not idle.
Prolonged use of GnRHa (gonadotropin releasing hormone), repeated surgical interventions help reduce the ovarian reserve and the development of early and premature menopause. On the one hand, the earlier a woman enters menopause, the greater the risk of cardiovascular events, urotroficheskih detection, lower cognitive function and quality of life. On the other hand, possible resumption of relapse of pain, repeated surgeries and even malignancy.

Position EMAS: Keeping menopausal women with a history of endometriosis, 2010

• HRT shows women with early / premature menopause before the average age of menopause, and should be considered in older women with severe vasomotor symptoms.
• Data relating to the use of HRT in women with a history of endometriosis is limited. Apparently, it is necessary to apply a continuous combined regimen regardless of whether or not a hysterectomy. This will help reduce the risk of disease recurrence and malignancy of the remaining endometriosis.
• Alternative therapies and kostnoprotektivnye drugs should be used in women who are not receiving hormone therapy.
• Appointment of drugs produced on the basis of herbs should be used with caution because their effectiveness has not been studied properly and may include estrogen-like components with unpredictable effects in these patients.

Tap water: What you did not know ...

Sanitary doctors know for sure that everything that flows in our rivers in winter, will - of course, in a different concentration - our faucets this spring. How to determine the quality of the water from the tap? And what if it is very low?

Criteria Water Quality   dozens: bacteriological purity, chemical, mechanical. Typically, filters water treatment plants, which begins with the way the water in the water system of the city, starting with filtration, which in the first stage filters the water from the solids, then it passes the cycles of disinfection and detoxification, and only when the content of impurities is reduced to acceptable health standards, water enters the municipal water system.

This is the ideal. Because in life water quality   It affects many factors: the state of the water pipes, the sources from which water is taken (where there is the possibility to use underground sources, water quality is immeasurably higher than in the cities, using open water), the state of the region's ecology. However, the methods of bringing water back to normal almost everywhere the same: a given percentage of chlorine - a water-soluble gas antiseptic.

Safe to chlorinated water? Looking for something: for industrial purposes - yes, cleaning the house, washing dishes - absolutely. But for drinking and washing - virtually none. Chlorine is able to slowly but surely undermine the health of our mucous membranes, accumulate in the bone, hair. Therefore, to improve the quality of the water we are going to drink, use for cooking or washing, it is necessary to improve his own.

The easiest way - defending water   in an open vessel for 2 - 4 hours. In this case, most of the chlorine evaporates and the water will be much safer.

The second option - The use of any household filter - Pitchers, flow, main - what you prefer. Cartridges almost all well-known brands of filters remove chlorine, and at the same time produce the final water purification after completion of the water supply: it is known that 75% of water supply systems of Russia are worn and operated for over 30 years ...

The third option - bring water to a boil . This makes sense if excessive chlorination, but we can not allow a long boiling: a recent study of Prague Biochemists have shown that at the boil tap water for 5-7 minutes longer in it begin to form dioxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds formed from chemicals that are in the water.

If you want to swim, and tap water smells strongly of chlorine, cook about 12 liters (one large bucket) or boiled settled water to rinse thoroughly after washing her hair and body. Objective - water must not remain on the skin and hair. By the way, do not neglect the milk or cream to the body after each taking a shower: as a rule, high-quality tools include in its composition components neutralizes the effect of chlorinated water.

With hair even easier. If you are then going to dry their hair dryer, after washing the treated hair spray thermal protector: after over-drying hair is not terrible. And if you do without a hair dryer, just rinse your hair last liter of water with a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Terms of laundry, or why were stains?

It would seem that in these days is not a problem: the smart washing machines, special cleaners, steam irons can achieve perfect results. But not always it turns out. Why is that?

Powder, tablet, liquid

What do we wash? Strange question - of course powder. But in stores today and the mass of other assets - liquid, tablet. There is a fundamental difference, than to erase?

All liquid assets - not an alternative to powder: they are worse removed oil, fat and other "everyday" spots. Their main purpose - to care for the things of delicate fabrics (wool, silk), for which they are indispensable. Why is that? Because these detergents do not contain (or contain at least) enzymes that damage the fragile natural fiber materials. Buying liquid vehicle, be sure to note the date of its release - as opposed to powder their shelf life shorter.

Liquids and gels differ in viscosity - the quality of the wash is not affected, but there is a difference in the way of their use. Dense detergent is poured directly into the drum of the machine - of the container into which we usually fall asleep powder, it is not just "falls" into the drum residues can slowly drain into it, even in the rinse.

The tablets do not differ fundamentally from the powders. They are instant, single-layer or multi-layer at a controlled rate of dissolution of the layers when the active ingredients are included in the job queue, first enzyme, then - the oxygen bleaches. Therefore, washing temperature should be raised: the first stage is 30-40 degrees, and then - 60. Their main advantage - convenience and efficiency: 1-2 tablets, depending on the contamination. Another undoubted advantage - they do not "raise dust." Such means preferably, if the family has allergies or washing machine is in the kitchen.

Carefully, bleach!

When washing white things we use them often. Bleachers are: liquid and powder and chemical composition - chlorine and oxygen. The first - an effective bleaching even in cold water and do not require boiling, but quickly "eat away" the fabric. Besides unavoidable inhalation of chlorine vapor, which is very dangerous to health.

"Oxygen" bleaches - more forgiving, but have a high bioactivity, so hand-washing, always wear gloves.

Children tricks

Veshchichki young children are particularly prone to allergies, it is best to wash with soap. This is indeed a natural product, therefore the risk of allergy in this case below. But modern mom washed by hand once. Do not need! Today, there are baby powders based soap chips that are perfect for any car.

What to look for when choosing children's powder? The two main points - hypoallergenic (does not contain a good powder of active chemicals), natural components included in its composition. By the way, good packaging powders you can find the inscription - "for babies" or "for children up to three years."
What matters and other washing conditions. For example, diapers need the maximum temperature, it replaces boiling, and for sliders raspashonok, costumes and enough 40 degrees. And do not forget about the function "extra rinse", it helps to remove the maximum residues of detergent from the fibers of the fabric.

After each wash the container, which is filled with the powder to be treated cleaners containing chlorine to kill bacteria, which can also cause allergic reactions in children. If you are still washed by hand, soak the diapers should be in very hot water, of course, separate from other laundry.

But to enjoy the air-conditioned children's clothes, especially underwear and bed linen, dermatologists do not recommend: chemically synthesized substances included in their composition, increase the risk of allergic reactions at least twice.

Oh, those spots!

They - stains from cosmetics, coffee, tea, fat, blood - deliver a lot of troubles. Although many stores now all "Chemistry" for their removal, unfortunately, it is not always triggered. So do not forget the old-fashioned way that will put a thing in order. And the main thing here - firstly, to act quickly, and secondly, to know what kind of reception you want to apply against a specific opponent. After processing the item is sent to the laundry.

Spot from cosmetics   with cotton fabrics can be cleaned by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened with hydrogen peroxide, and for wool and silk use alcohol.

Coffee Tea . If the coffee stain is fresh, try to wash the item in warm salt water and rinse in cold. Spot of tea is treated with a sponge dampened with smelling salts, tucked under item a soft cloth or paper, and then you need to moisten the place cleaned with a solution of citric acid and leave for 10-15 minutes. And finally, with water.

Grease stains   you want to display immediately. Sprinkle talcum powder on the spot (on both sides - the person and wrong side), cover with a paper towel, put on top of the load and leave for a day.

Juice, wine, berries . Chronic stains can be removed with a solution of citric acid, and then - Rinse with warm water. White fabrics may be treated with hydrogen peroxide.

Spots of blood   can be derived by soaking the thing for several hours in cold water, you want to add a little ammonia (hot promotes clotting protein and not get rid of the stains). If the thing of silk, apply a paste of starch stain, let it dry, then brush off and wash.
