Scientific Sessions Track 1: Heart Diseases and Failure Heart diseasesare the disorders that affect the heart. Diseases under the heart disease 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.

Muscular dystrophy | pathology | Britannica.com

Posted: Published on April 24th, 2018

Muscular dystrophy, hereditary disease that causes progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles. Of the several types of muscular dystrophy, the more common are Duchenne, facioscapulohumeral, Becker, limb-girdle, and myotonic dystrophy. In all of these there is usually early evidence of degeneration and then regeneration of some muscle fibres. Those fibres that regenerate become larger than normal, and eventually the muscles are totally replaced by fibrous scar tissue and fat. Read More on This Topic muscle disease: The muscular dystrophies The muscular dystrophies are a group of hereditary disorders characterized by progressive muscular atrophy and weakness. In most varieties the muscles of the limb girdlesthe pelvic and shoulder musclesare involved. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common childhood form of the disease; it occurs in one of every 3,300 male births. It is a sex-linked disorder, meaning that it strikes males almost exclusively. The disease is caused by a defective gene on the 23rd, or X, chromosome that results in the failure of the body to produce a functional muscle protein called dystrophin. Most females who carry the genetic defect are unaffected, but they have a 50 percent probability of passing the disease to each of their sons. Early … Continue reading →

Ulcerative Colitis – Topic Overview – WebMD

Posted: Published on April 22nd, 2018

Articles OnUlcerative Colitis Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the most common types of inflammatory bowel disease. Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon and rectum. Crohn's can affect any part of the digestive tract. To learn more about Crohn's disease, see the topic Crohn's Disease. Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation and sores (ulcers) in the lining of the large intestine (colon ). It usually affects the lower section (sigmoid colon) and the rectum. But it can affect the entire colon. In general, the more of the colon that's affected, the worse the symptoms will be. The disease can affect people of any age. But most people who have it are diagnosed before the age of 30. Experts aren't sure what causes it. They think it might be caused by the immune system overreacting to normal bacteria in the digestive tract. Or other kinds of bacteria and viruses may cause it. You are more likely to get ulcerative colitis if other people in your family have it. The main symptoms are: Some people also may have a fever, may not feel hungry, and may lose weight. In severe cases, people may have diarrhea 10 … Continue reading →

Eczema Healing with Natural Remedies

Posted: Published on April 22nd, 2018

Healing Atopic Dermatitis Without Medication March 20, 1997 - My testimonial of Healing My Lifelong Eczema With Natural Meansby Shirley Lipschutz Summary: I suffered from severe eczema, a type of atopic dermatitis with painful swelling and oozing of the skin, bleeding cracks, severe scaling, itching and burning. When I sweated, it felt as if acid was poured all over me. I suffered miserably for 49 years from this horrible disease which totally debilitated me. No creams, potions, salves, cortisone or anything else cured my condition. It wasn't until I turned 50 that I finally discovered how to heal my skin by igniting my own internal healing force. Ironically in the process of curing my eczema my overall health and vitality improved dramatically. If your looking for a cure here, you'll be disappointed. In a nutshell, I credit my healing to a combination of approach: homeopathy, natural raw food diet and juice, special oils and tea, uropathy, and herbal remedies. This is my story.... I have been suffering from eczema for 49 years, since I was one year old. My parents had taken me to dozens of dermatologists who were unsuccessful in helping me. I had never been breastfed thus I … Continue reading →

Ticagrelor vs Clopidogrel After Fibrinolytic Therapy in …

Posted: Published on April 22nd, 2018

Question In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with fibrinolytic therapy, is ticagrelor noninferior to clopidogrel with respect to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction major bleeding at 30 days? Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 3799 patients, delayed administration of ticagrelor after fibrinolytic therapy was noninferior to clopidogrel for thrombolysis in myocardial infarction major bleeding at 30 days. However, minor bleeding was increased with ticagrelor and there was no benefit on efficacy outcomes. Meaning Because most of the included patients were pretreated with clopidogrel, these findings reflect mostly the noninferiority of switching from clopidogrel to ticagrelor in patients already fully loaded with clopidogrel. Importance The bleeding safety of ticagrelor in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with fibrinolytic therapy remains uncertain. Objective To evaluate the short-term safety of ticagrelor when compared with clopidogrel in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with fibrinolytic therapy. Design, Setting and Participants We conducted a multicenter, randomized, open-label with blinded end point adjudication trial that enrolled 3799 patients (younger than 75 years) with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction receiving fibrinolytic therapy in 152 sites from 10 countries from November 2015 through November 2017. The prespecified upper boundary for noninferiority for bleeding was an absolute margin of … Continue reading →

Cardiac Regeneration – Mayo Clinic

Posted: Published on April 22nd, 2018

Reparative stem cells have the capability to restore function to damaged tissue by renewing cell growth (shown in green) in cardiac cells destroyed by heart disease. Approximately 28 million Americans have been diagnosed with heart disease. Traditional medical therapies are not able to fully address the burden of disease, and the shortage of organs for transplantation remains a key barrier more than 117,000 people are on the national transplant list. This unmet need drives Mayo Clinic researchers to make new discoveries to accelerate regenerative solutions into clinical trials and rapidly provide new hope to patients who can't currently be treated. Cardiac regeneration is a broad effort that aims to repair irreversibly damaged heart tissue with cutting-edge science, including stem cell and cell-free therapy. Reparative tools have been engineered to restore damaged heart tissue and function using the body's natural ability to regenerate. Working together, patients and providers are finding regenerative solutions that restore, renew and recycle patients' own reparative capacity. Through the vision and generous support of Russ and Kathy Van Cleve, strong efforts are underway to develop discoveries that will have a global impact on ischemic heart disease. Mayo Clinic researchers are leading efforts in translating new knowledge into … Continue reading →

The History, Physical Examination, and Cardiac …

Posted: Published on April 21st, 2018

A carefully obtained history is the cornerstone for evaluating a patient with known or suspected cardiac disease.2 A deliberate, compassionate interview forms the basis for a patientphysician relationship that can continue indefinitely. Unfortunately, the interview can result in adversarial roles for physician and patient if the interviewer appears hurried, shows impatience, fails to establish eye contact, seems to treat dreaded diseases casually, or appears to be unsympathetic. When the medical interview is unsatisfactory because of poor communication and lack of rapport, inaccurate information and often unnecessary testing will be obtained. Also, important facts not revealed during a meticulous initial history are usually not detected later because both the patient and physician become focused on high-technology studies and more aggressive therapeutic interventions. The patients chief complaint, which requires further elaboration and investigation, may not identify his or her most serious problem. Therefore, symptoms other than the patients chief complaint must be defined. The interviewer should note all existing symptoms and establish a present illness for each of these. A medical questionnaire given to the patient well in advance of the interview is useful and can record important data more accurately because of the time thus made available to reflect and check … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on April 19th, 2018

Interventional cardiology is the use of non-surgical procedures to treat cardiac conditions percutaneouslythrough a needle puncture to the skin. Our interventional cardiologists will guide a thin flexible tube called a catheter through a vein or artery in your arm or leg to your heart. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is an inherited condition in which one part of the heart enlarges. The resulting asymmetry of the heart blocks outflows, so people with the condition are unable to get adequate blood to the rest of their bodies. In the past, the only treatments were with medication; or with medication and surgery, in which the surgeon would cut off the enlarged part of the heart that was blocking outflows. Now alcohol septal ablation allows interventional cardiologists to inject alcohol into one of the blood vessels that supplies blood to the thickened area. The ablation blocks blood flow to the area, causing it to die and shrink so that the previously blocked blood outflow can return to normal. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention often involves the placement of coronary stents to open blocked arteries to treat accumulated plaque. Stent procedures are performed through a catheter in the groin or wrist. The heart is protected in the … Continue reading →
