Treatment for Cerebral Palsy

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2018

Treating Cerebral Palsy is almost as complex as the condition is, and theres no cookie-cutter approach because each individual is affected differently. Although the brain injury that causes Cerebral Palsy cannot be healed, the resulting physical impairment can be managed with a wide range of treatments and therapies. Although there is no universal protocol developed for all cases, a persons form of Cerebral Palsy, extent of impairment, and severity level help to determine care. While therapy and adaptive equipment are the primary treatment protocol for Cerebral Palsy, an individual may also require drug therapy and surgical interventions. Some families, with caution and physician guidance, turn to complementary and alternative medicine for additional assistance. Although each medical specialist may have specific care goals related to their specialty and the individuals unique condition, the overriding treatment goal for those with Cerebral Palsy is to: Conventional treatment methods involve systems, practices and products that have been researched, tested and approved by the medical community as acceptable forms of treatment. Complementary medicine differs from conventional as it has not yet been fully tested or approved, but may be under consideration. Complementary medicine, when used under doctor supervision, can be used as a complement to … Continue reading →

New treatment for Parkinsons disease – Hospital News

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2018

This fall, the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro, at McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre) expects to introduce a previously unavailable form of treatment for Parkinsons disease patients. Although the treatment will be limited to patients who fulfill specific criteria, the treatment has been shown to be effective in Europe, where it has been available for more than a decade. The treatment involves administering the drug Duodopa (a combination of levodopa and carbidopa) directly into the patients small intestine via the stomach through a tube. The drugs dosage is controlled by a mini-pump weighing about half a kilogram that the patient wears at the waist. The body transforms levodopa to dopamine to increase the amount of dopamine in the brain. Parkinsons disease symptoms are linked to dopamine levels. Carbidopa helps to guide levodopa to the brain and also helps to avoid stomach upset and other undesirable side effects of levodopa. MORE: RESEARCH MAY LEAD TO FASTER DIAGNOSIS OF PTSD The benefit of the Duodopa treatment is that the patient gets the drug continuously and so avoids the kinds of fluctuations that can come when drugs are taken orally at intervals during the day. Some patients have … Continue reading →

Muscular Dystrophy Treatment, Stem Cell Therapy for # …

Posted: Published on May 17th, 2018

Muscular Dystrophy can be classified as the disease with inborn genetic manipulation, which damage and weaken the muscular structure and strength over the period of time. It has been observed that the people with MD, have missing or incorrect information passed by their gene during the production of an important protein known as the Dystrophin; that is required for normal muscular functions of the body such as walking, swallowing, coordination, etc. There are almost 30 different forms of Muscular Dystrophy that vary in symptoms, problems and severities. As the disease is related to muscular weakness, it can be possible that babies, teens or adults can express the muscular problems at any phase of their development. The severe form of MD, is observed in babies especially boys, who can experience the swift and severe muscle weakness and wasting; dying their late teens to early 20s. Stem Cell Treatment for Muscular Dystrophy Although, the number is still uncertain to know exactly how many people of all ages are suffering from the disease; an estimated 1 out of every 35000 males has Muscular Dystrophy. In a different study, it has been estimated that almost 29% of the men are using a wheelchair at … Continue reading →

Home Remedies For Coronary Heart Disease

Posted: Published on May 16th, 2018

What is Coronary Heart Disease?Coronary Heart Disease is also known as Coronary Artery Disease. Following hints from the name itself one can very well guess the nature of this disease which is related to the heart and coronary arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. In this disease, the coronary arteries become clogged hence hampering the blood supply up to the heart and thereby denying the heart its fair share of oxygen ant other vital nutrients. This clogging or blockage in the arteries is caused by accumulation of fatty deposits on the inside lining of the arteries. When the heart remains bereft of blood supply for longer periods of time, heart attacks could also occur. Adopting natural home remedies for Coronary Heart Disease and bringing positive changes in the diet and lifestyle should help in the prevention as well as treatment of this disease. Causes and Symptoms of Coronary Heart Disease High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Obesity, cigarette smoking, tobacco abuse, Diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and a genetic predisposition increase the risks of developing Coronary Heart Disease. Age is another factor that can neither be ignored nor controlled. Unhealthy high fat diet and lack of regular exercise or physical … Continue reading →

Sessions/Tracks Track 1: Heart Diseases and Failure Heart diseasesare the disorders that affect the heart. Diseases under the heart diseases umbrella include blood vessel diseases, such ascoronary arterydisease,heart rhythmproblems (arrhythmias), and heart defects i.e. congenital heart defects, Rheumatic heart disease, Hypertensive heart disease,Ischemic heart disease, Hypertension etc. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. The term Heart failure doesnt mean that the heart has stopped its functions. CHD can lead to heart failure by weakening the heart muscle over time. However, heart failure is a serious condition that requires medical care.

13 Super Foods Good for Eczema – Top Eczema Treatments

Posted: Published on May 15th, 2018

Today I wanted to have a look at13 good foods that can help treat eczema naturally. Eczema, or Atopic Dermatitis, is a condition which causes the skin to become inflamed and irritated. While extremely common in children, still affects around 10% of the adult population totaling over 30 million people in the United States alone. Sadly, the first line of defense when one displays signs of eczema is the prescription of steroid creams. While temporarily helpful, this medication, like all medication, comes with many potential side effects with prolonged use linked to skin atrophy, adrenal suppression, stunted growth, immune suppression, Cushing syndrome, and addiction to name a few. The significant role of diet and health is widely known, however is often overlooked when it comes to naturally treating conditions such as eczema. Please include attribution to http://topeczematreatments.com/ with this graphic. Certified organic food is the term used for the standard of farmed food produced under very strict guidelines.

Cardiac Remodeling and Its Significance – Verywell

Posted: Published on May 13th, 2018

Cardiac remodeling is a term that refers to changes in the hearts size and shape that occur in response to cardiac disease or cardiac damage. When doctors talk about remodeling, they are usually talking about the left ventricle, though occasionally this term is applied to other cardiac chambers. When you remodel your house, that is often considered a good thing. The opposite is true with remodeling of the heart. In general, the greater the degree of ventricular remodeling, the worse the patients outcome is likely to be. When the left ventricle is damaged -for instance, by amyocardial infarction(heart attack) or by cardiomyopathy-changes often occur in the size and shape of the ventricle. The ventricle tends to become enlarged, its general shape becomes more globular and less elliptical, and the muscular wall of the ventricle often becomes thinner. This remodeling occurs due to mechanical stress on the heart muscle produced by the underlying disease process. In the early stages of a heart attack, some degree of remodeling can help the ventricle compensate for the damage that has occurred. But if this initial remodeling process continues, and the changes in the size and shape of the ventricle become more exaggerated, cardiac function … Continue reading →

4 Star Doody Review (July, 2011) -"This is a comprehensive source of information on the medications used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Each chapter is divided into sections that describe the mechanism of action, the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, and the appropriate use of each drug in cardiovascular medicine. This subdivision provides a consistent pattern that makes the book easy to use. The book offers information on medications that are currently the standard of care, new drugs in development, and alternative and complementary medications. The appendix then adds a useful resource for practical prescribing practices and drugs used in specific patient populations.
