Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the organs. The most common site is the pleura (the outer layer of the lungs and internal chest wall), but may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), heart, pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart) or tunica vaginalis.
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibers in other ways. It has also been suggested that washing the clothes of family members who work with asbestos can put someone at risk for developing mesothelioma. Unlike lung cancer, no association between mesothelioma and smoking, but smoking greatly increases the risk of other asbestos-caused cancer. Compensation via asbestos funds or lawsuits is an important issue in mesothelioma.
Symptoms of mesothelioma include shortness of breath due to pleural effusion (fluid between the lung and the chest wall) or chest wall pain, and general symptoms such as weight loss. Diagnosis can be suspected with chest X-rays and a CT scan, and confirmed with a biopsy (tissue sample) and microscopic. A thoracoscopy (inserting a tube with a camera into the chest) can be used to take biopsies. This allows the introduction of substances such as talc to obliterate the pleural space (called pleurodesis), which prevents more fluid from accumulating and pressing on the lung. Despite treatment with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or sometimes surgery, the disease carry a poor prognosis. Research about screening tests for early detection of mesothelioma is ongoing.
Hi friends ... I have not made any new posts .... I hope you miss me. This time I want to write about one type of cancer. We know there are many types of cancer, and it is featured each day, will never be finished. Cancer that I will tell is a cancer that attacks the pancreas or commonly referred to as Pancreatic Cancer.
Pancreatic Cancer often goes undetected until it's advanced and difficult to treat. In the vast majority of cases, symptoms only develop after pancreatic cancer has grown and begun to spread. What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer, and can any symptoms lead to earlier detection? Because more than 95% of pancreatic cancer is the adenocarcinoma type, we'll describe those symptoms first, followed by symptoms of rare forms of pancreatic cancer.
Because the pancreas is located deep within the abdominal cavity in front of the spine, pancreatic cancer often grows silently months before detection. The first symptoms may be absent or it must be very thin. The most recognizable symptoms develop after a tumor grows large enough to overwhelm other nearby structures such as nerves (pain), intestines (which influence appetite and cause nausea, weight loss) or the biliary ducts (which causes jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and may cause loss of appetite and itching). Symptoms in women are often different from men. After the tumour is cancerous cells in the blood and lymph systems, and metastasized, more symptoms usually occur depending on the location of the metastasis. Frequent metastatic pancreatic cancer sites, including the liver, lymph nodes and the mucous membrane of the stomach (called peritoneum). Unfortunately, most types of pancreatic cancer are after cancer has grown outside of the pancreas or has metastasized to other places.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death (after heart disease and cancer), and the number one cause of disability worldwide. The report of health department of the Republic of Indonesia (2007) noted that the stroke is the leading cause of death in hospital. Various studies have shown that stroke services in many parts of the world are still less than optimal. Delays in patients coming to hospital, lack of adequate diagnostic facilities and treatment, and lack of integrated cooperation among team members is a major provider of health problems in the treatment of stroke.
In each year, on October 29 is celebrated as "the day of stroke in the entire world." Day of stroke in the entire world that was initiated by the World Stroke Organization, a worldwide organization whose members include doctors, medical officers, and people who care about the stroke service. Day strokes around the world carrying the message that "stroke is a stroke can be prevented and treated." Theme days a year throughout the world stroke is "what can I do?". An important question for everyone who cares about the heart and stroke to inspire action. The challenge for everyone to be able to give a small contribution to stroke care in the world getting better.
Stroke can be prevented
Stroke is caused by the accumulation of risk factors for stroke. Stroke risk factors exist that can not be changed, and some can be changed. Risk factors for stroke that can not be changed are age, gender, race, family history, and history of previous stroke. Men are more prone to strokes than women. Old age is also more susceptible to stroke from a young age. Colored races are more prone to stroke than whites. Someone with a family history of stroke have a greater risk for stroke as well. Various risk factors for stroke are a risk factor that can not be changed.
There is also a risk factor for stroke that can be changed. Major risk factors for stroke are hypertension. Various studies show that 60% -70% of stroke patients suffer from hypertension at the time admitted. A common problem encountered is the ignorance and indifference to most members of the community about hypertension. Hypertension did not provide specific symptoms. A patient with hypertension will come of treatment because of complications caused by hypertension. That's what causes hypertension is called the "silent killer." Hypertension will kill people calmly and slowly, almost without symptoms. When we realize, the complications become more severe hypertension (eg heart disease, stroke and kidney failure).
Other risk factors for stroke can be changed are diabetes, high blood cholesterol, obesity, smoking, sleep disturbances, and excessive blood viscosity. Same with hypertension, stroke risk factors that are often overlooked and less well managed.
Stroke prevention begins with recognizing the risk factors for stroke in all of us. Ask the following questions to yourself: "? I know my last blood sugar levels?" "I know my blood pressure this month",, "I never measure my waist?", And "I Know my blood cholesterol?" . If there are 2 or more answers "no", then that means you are less concerned. Identifying risk factors for stroke that can be controlled to yourself, at relatives or your family, and the people around you.
The next step is to control stroke risk factors. Control high blood pressure by limiting salt intake, avoid stress, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, quitting smoking, and exercise regularly. In circumstances that are often needed drug intervention to support the lifestyle changes that have been cultivated. Various studies have shown the success of intervention programs to reduce the incidence of risk factors for stroke. The incidence of stroke in different countries showed a decrease due to the success of the reduction of salt intake, stop smoking campaign, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Stroke can be prevented
One of the main issues in the handling of optimal stroke is a race against time. A term known as "time is brain". The main goal of stroke treatment is to save the brain tissue deficient supply of nutrients and oxygen. Time Limits optimal treatment of stroke is 4.5 hours. The more rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the greater the like lihood of recovery.
One major obstacle is the delay in the management of stroke patients coming to hospital care. The main causes of delay in coming to the hospital are less familiar symptoms of a stroke by the public. Association of stroke in the United States campaign for the use of simple measuring tools for early detection of stroke. This tool is known as FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, and Say Test). In the Indonesian language of this size can be translated as "smile movement, and talk." Measurement campaign is shown to improve patient arrival to the hospital. This tool is used by asking the patient to smile, raised his hand, and speaking. One of the movement dysfunction, smile and greeting should be suspected as symptoms of a stroke until proven not.
What can I do?
Theme days a year throughout the world stroke is "what can I do?". A critical question that challenges all parties concerned about the stroke service. Society should be more concerned neighbor risk factor for stroke. Ask yourself and the people closest to you "already know whether blood tension this week?" When not measure your blood pressure, and when the high did immediately intervene to lower blood pressure. Do something similar to blood sugar and cholesterol. Remind yourself and those closest to you to stop smoking.
Stroke is a medical emergency. Step diagnosis and appropriate treatment will provide optimal results. Immediately recognize a stroke, and immediately taken to hospital with stroke facilities. Campaign "smile, movement, and talk" can be used to suspect that someone has a stroke. Medical officers involved in the management of stroke should look at stroke as a medical emergency. Treatment of stroke is a race against time. In such conditions, rapid and appropriate treatment would be necessary. Successful treatment of stroke will depend on the cooperation of patients, families, and medical officers. Let us welcome the day a stroke in the whole world, hoping "to get a better stroke services in Indonesia.
