AC Arthritis

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: AC Arthritis
Language:: English
Description: AC joint arthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint—is quite common in people who are middle aged or older. It develops when the cartilage cushioning the AC joint in the shoulder begins to wear out. While most people experience wear and tear in their joints as they age, the development of AC joint arthrosis may cause severe degeneration, disabling the shoulder joint or deforming it in some way, sometimes making it appear larger.

Alcoholic Hepatitis

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Alcoholic Hepatitis
Language:: English
Description: Alcoholic hepatitis is caused by excessive and chronic alcohol use. It is the first phase of alcoholic liver disease. It progresses to fatty liver and cirrhosis if alcohol abuse continues. A history of alcohol abuse is the key to diagnosis. Yet drunkenness is not needed for the development of the disease. To confirm the diagnosis a liver biopsy can be done. The disease usually affects those older than 30 years. The incidence is 3 cases per 10,000 individuals. The recovery is slow. It may take weeks to months for the liver to heal. If cirrhosis has developed, the liver may not be able to recover.

Title:: Asthma
Language:: English
Description: Asthma, a chronic condition, affects more than 20 million Americans, with most having their first onset of symptoms before 20 years of age. A layer of smooth muscle surrounds the airways inside your lungs. Inflammation of the airways and smooth muscle constriction make the airways much narrower in persons with asthma. These individuals are much more sensitive to certain triggers. Smoke, allergens, exercise, cold air and infection are some of the more common triggers of asthma. Certain cases of asthma have a progressive worsening that may lead to serious attacks, and even death.

Atherosclerosis

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Atherosclerosis
Language:: English
Description: Atherosclerosis, sometimes called “hardening of the arteries”, occurs over time. Arteries supply oxygen and nutrition from the heart to all parts of the body. Atherosclerosis is the hardening and narrowing of arteries. It is caused by a slow buildup of fatty deposits and cholesterol that sticks to the inside walls of the arteries. These areas are called plaques. Plaques narrow the opening in the artery and, as a result, blood flow is hampered. Small clots can form and plug the vessel. This can partially or completely block the flow of blood through the artery. When this happens, the affected organ cannot get enough oxygen and nutrients. This results in either death or severe damage to the organ’s cells.

Title:: Atherosclerosis
Language:: Russian
Description: Atherosclerosis causes narrowing in the blood vessels. The inner walls of arteries and veins can become damaged. This causes scarring where the damage has healed. Conditions such as diabetes cause a weakening of the vessel walls, making them prone to damage. Hypertension (high blood pressure) damages the vessels because the blood is pumped through with greater force. Fatty deposits and cholesterol stick to the damaged areas. These areas are called plaques. Plaques narrow the opening in the vessel. Blood flow through narrowed vessels is impeded. Small blood clots can form and plug the vessel. This stops blood flow through the vessel. In the heart this means that the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen, causing pain called angina.

Atrial Fibrillation

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Atrial Fibrillation
Language:: English
Description: Fibrillation is a type of abnormal contraction in a muscle. In the heart the atria and ventricles must squeeze in a coordinated way to move the blood effectively. A fibrillating muscle looks as if it is wiggling rather than squeezing and does not move blood the way a normal contraction does. If this occurs in the atrium, the blood inside is not pumped into the ventricle normally and tends to pool. The ventricles can pull most of the blood in and contract to push it out, which allows the heart to perform most of its function. Pooling of blood and inefficient movement of blood through the atrium may cause other problems. If the pooled blood clots, the clots can be sent into the blood stream and can cause heart attacks or strokes.

Cardiac Arrhythmias

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Cardiac Arrhythmias
Language:: English
Description: To understand heart rhythm problems, you first need to know how a normal heart works. Your heart is “wired” to beat in a very organized manner. Each side of your heart has two compartments or “chambers.” The top chambers are the atria. The bottom ones are the ventricles. The rhythm of the heart is very organized and controlled by a built-in electrical system running from top to bottom. The SA node, the heart’s own natural pacemaker, signals it to relax and contract in a regular rhythm. Usually your heart rate is regular and beats between 60 and 100 times per minute. When you rest or sleep, it beats more slowly. When you are active, it beats more quickly. The SA node controls all of this. Located in the right atrium (the top right corner of the heart), these special “pacemaker” cells (SA node) send impulses to the AV node. The AV node is located in the center of the heart and acts as a relay between the atria and the ventricles. When the SA node “fires”, the atria contract and an impulse passes to the AV node. Once the impulse passes through the AV node, it travels quickly down through nerve fibers to the bottom of the ventricles. The ventricles contract and squeeze blood out of the heart.

Description: Para comprender los problemas del ritmo cardíaco, hay que entender primero cómo funciona un corazón normal. Su corazón está “programado” para latir de forma muy organizada. Cada lado de su corazón tiene dos compartimentos o “cámaras". Las cámaras superiores son las aurículas. Las inferiores son los ventrículos. El ritmo cardíaco está muy organizado y controlado por un sistema eléctrico integrado que lo recorre de arriba abajo. El nódulo sinoauricular, el marcapasos natural del corazón, le marca un ritmo regular de contracción y relajación. Normalmente su frecuencia cardiaca es regular, latiendo entre 60 y 100 veces por minuto. Al descansar o dormir, late con mayor lentitud. Al realizar una actividad, late con mayor rapidez. Todo esto lo controla el nódulo sinoauricular (nódulo SA). Ubicadas en la auricular derecha (la parte superior derecha del corazón), estas células “marcapasos” especiales (nódulo SA) envían impulsos al nódulo aurículo-ventricular (nódulo AV). El nódulo AV está situado en el centro del corazón y actúa como un relé entre las aurículas y los ventrículos. Cuando el nódulo SA “dispara”, se contraen las aurículas y pasa un impulso al nódulo AV. Una vez que el impulso atraviesa el nódulo AV, pasa rápidamente a través de las fibras nerviosas hasta la parte inferior de los ventrículos. Los ventrículos se contraen y expulsan la sangre del corazón.

Language:: English
Description: Heart specialists, known as cardiologists, use cardiac catheterization to diagnose and treat a variety of heart conditions. To help you understand this procedure, let’s first look at how a normal heart works. Your heart is responsible for delivering blood to all parts of the body. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood from your body to your heart. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from your heart to nourish your body. The heart is actually two pumps side-by-side that work together to distribute blood throughout your body. The right side pumps blood on a short trip to the lungs to receive oxygen while the left side delivers the oxygenated blood throughout the body. Each side of your heart has two compartments, or “chambers.” The top chambers are the atria. The bottom ones are the ventricles. Special valves keep blood flowing from one chamber to the other without moving backwards, like one-way gates.

Para comprender este procedimiento, echemos antes un vistazo al funcionamiento normal del corazón. El corazón es el responsable de enviar sangre a todas las partes del cuerpo. Las venas llevan sangre pobre en oxígeno desde el cuerpo al corazón. Las arterias transportan sangre rica en oxígeno desde el corazón a todo el cuerpo. El corazón se compone realmente de dos bombas contiguas que trabajan coordinadas para distribuir sangre a todo el cuerpo. La parte derecha bombea sangre hacia los pulmones para recibir oxígeno, mientras que la parte izquierda envía la sangre oxigenada a todo el cuerpo. Cada lado de su corazón tiene dos compartimentos, o “cámaras". Las cámaras superiores son las aurículas. Las inferiores son los ventrículos. Unas válvulas especiales mantienen el paso del flujo sanguíneo de una cámara a otra sin que retroceda, como puertas de dirección única. Cuando las válvulas se abren y se cierran producen un sonido distintivo que puede oírse con un estetoscopio. El ritmo cardíaco está muy organizado y controlado por un sistema eléctrico integrado. Normalmente su frecuencia cardiaca es regular, latiendo entre 60 y 100 veces por minuto. Al descansar o dormir, late con mayor lentitud. Al realizar una actividad, late con mayor rapidez. Unas células “marcapasos” especiales situadas en la parte superior derecha del corazón controlan todo esto. Como cualquier otro músculo del cuerpo, el músculo cardiaco necesita su propio suministro de sangre para trabajar adecuadamente. El corazón puede no funcionar bien si hay algún problema con las válvulas, el sistema eléctrico o su propio suministro sanguíneo.

Cardiac Stress Tests

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Cardiac Stress Tests
Language:: English
Description: Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States with coronary artery disease, or CAD, being the most common type. If you have symptoms of this disease, or are at risk for developing it, your healthcare provider may order a coronary stress test. Risk factors for coronary artery disease include increased age, family history of heart disease, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, poor diet and decreased physical activity. The more risk factors you have, the greater chance you have of developing heart disease. A cardiac stress test evaluates how well your heart is working by determining how well blood flows through the coronary arteries when your heart is “stressed.” It is easier to see the effects of heart disease when your heart is “stressed,” which means when your heart beats faster and works harder.

Description: Las enfermedades cardiacas son la principal causa de muerte en Estados Unidos, siendo el tipo más frecuente las enfermedades de las arterias coronarias (CAD, por sus siglas en inglés). Si tiene síntomas de esta enfermedad, o riesgo de desarrollarla, su médico puede ordenarle realizar una prueba de esfuerzo cardíaco. Los factores de riesgo para la enfermedad de las arterias coronarias son la edad avanzada, un historial familiar de enfermedades cardíacas, tabaco, diabetes, colesterol alto, hipertensión, obesidad, dieta desequilibrada y poca actividad física. Cuantos más factores de riesgo reúna, más probabilidades tendrá de desarrollar una enfermedad cardiaca. La prueba de esfuerzo evalúa lo bien que funciona su corazón determinando lo bien que fluye la sangre a través de las arterias coronarias cuando su corazón está “esforzándose”. Es más fácil ver los efectos de las enfermedades cardiacas cuando su corazón está realizando un esfuerzo, ya que esto implica que su corazón debe latir con más fuerza y rapidez.

Chronic Pancreatitis

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Chronic Pancreatitis

Description: Chronic pancreatitis is a persistent inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach. It secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon. The persistent inflammation leads to the destruction of the functioning glandular tissue in the pancreas. The pancreatic digestive enzymes are not produced, resulting in an inability to properly digest and absorb fat in the diet. There is also a decrease in the production of insulin. Alcohol abuse is the most common cause of this condition. Hemochromatosis (a condition of excess iron in the blood) and cystic fibrosis are other known causes. The incidence of chronic pancreatitis is 2 cases per 10,000 individuals. Men are affected more often than women. Chronic pancreatitis is detected by reviewing the individual's history. Samples of blood are taken to look for the changes associated with this disease.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Language:: English
Description: Coronary artery bypass surgery is the most common “open heart” operation performed in the United States. Another name for this procedure is coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG– pronounced “cabbage”). It is one way to treat clogged arteries in the heart. Deposits of calcium, cholesterol, fat and other materials that build up in the wall of arteries, called plaques, can block the normal flow of blood. When this happens, the heart muscle may not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, and you may experience chest pain, a heart attack or even death. Bypass surgery uses blood vessels to go around, or bypass, the blocked coronary arteries. This allows the blood to get to the heart muscle so it can function normally. Like every other muscle in your body, your heart muscle needs blood and oxygen to do its job. However, keep in mind that this does not alter the process that caused the blockage in the first place. Only changes to your diet, exercise routine and medications can treat the underlying disease.

Description: La cirugía de bypass de las arterias coronarias es la forma más frecuente de operación a "corazón abierto" de las que se realizan en Estados Unidos. Otro nombre para este procedimiento es cirugía de implante de derivación de las arterias coronarias (CABG, en inglés - pronunciado "cabbage"). Es una forma de tratar las arterias obstruidas del corazón. Los depósitos de calcio, colesterol, grasa y otros materiales que se acumulan en las paredes de las arterias, denominados placas, pueden bloquear el flujo sanguíneo normal. Cuando sucede esto, el músculo del corazón puede no recibir suficiente sangre rica en oxígeno, por lo que puede producirse dolor en el pecho, un ataque cardiaco o, incluso, la muerte. La cirugía de bypass usa vasos sanguíneos que rodean, o derivan, las arterias coronarias bloqueadas. Esto permite que la sangre alcance el músculo del corazón, de modo que este funcione con normalidad. Como cualquier otro músculo de su cuerpo, el músculo de su corazón necesita sangre y oxígeno para hacer su trabajo. No obstante, recuerde que esto no cambia el proceso que causó el bloqueo. Sólo los cambios en su dieta, el ejercicio rutinario y la medicación pueden tratar la enfermedad subyacente.

Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle harden and narrow by a process known as atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis.) Atherosclerosis is a gradual buildup of plaques in blood vessels that feed your heart and your coronary arteries are susceptible to it. Plaques are deposits of calcium, cholesterol, fat and other materials found in your blood.

Description: Diabetes occurs when your body doesn’t make enough insulin or you can’t use it correctly. Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas that lets you turn blood sugar into energy. You develop high blood sugar when insulin cannot do its job. Healthcare providers no longer discourage women with diabetes from getting pregnant. Fortunately today, with good medical care, you can look forward to having a healthy baby. If you have diabetes you should plan your pregnancy. See your healthcare provider for counseling and a physical exam before you get pregnant and get early prenatal care. Poorly controlled diabetes before or during your pregnancy puts your baby at a greater risk for having certain birth defects and other problems.

Title:: Diabetes Related Eye Disease
Language:: English
Description: People with diabetes often develop serious eye diseases: diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts. Diabetic retinopathy affects the tiny blood vessels of your retina. The retina is the area at the back of your eye that takes in light and changes it to signals. The signals are sent down the optic nerve to your brain, where they are interpreted as vision. Diabetic retinopathy can damage vision and cause blindness in two ways: either the small blood vessels in the retina start to swell and leak blood into your eye; or new, abnormal blood vessels start to grow on the outside of the retina.

Las señales se envían a través del nervio óptico al cerebro donde se interpretan como visión.

La retinopatía diabética no causa dolor, y generalmente no presenta síntomas, hasta que la enfermedad se encuentra avanzada y se ha perdido la vista. Usted ni siquiera podría saber que la padece hasta que los vasos sanguíneos comienzan a sangrar en el interior de su ojo.

Insulin is a hormone that is vital to proper metabolism of glucose. In Type 2 diabetes, glucose is not taken up normally from the blood into body tissues. The tissues are insulin resistant. Initially the pancreas is able to compensate for this extra blood glucose by increasing insulin production. Eventually, the pancreas cannot supply enough insulin to meet the body's demand, and blood sugars begin to rise.

Folic Acid and Birth Defects

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Folic Acid and Birth Defects
Language:: English
Description: Folic acid is a B vitamin that every person needs to stay healthy. Women who could possibly get pregnant should take extra folic acid every day-even if they’re not planning to get pregnant. Everyone’s body uses folic acid to keep cells functioning and growing and to make healthy genes. For women who are having periods, it is extremely important to take 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day without fail. Why? Because folic acid is the very best way to prevent a group of serious birth defects called neural tube defects (NTDs) that severely harm a baby’s brain and spine while they’re developing. A baby with a NTD may be born with an open spine that never closes on its own. Also called spina bifida, this can cause severe life-long disability.

It is a painful condition that almost universally results in decreased range of motion of the shoulder joint. It may develop gradually, preventing one from realizing the magnitude of the problem. On the other hand, the symptoms can be quite sudden and severe with nearly complete loss of shoulder motion. Adults in their forties and fifties are most at risk; however, anyone with a previous shoulder injury may be affected. Persons with a history of diabetes are at greater risk for adhesive capsulitis than are persons who do not have diabetes.

Numerous factors cause this illness, many of which are lifestyle excesses (e.g. excess smoking, excess alcohol, excess caffeine, and excess eating). Gastritis is also a side effect of many medications. Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are well-known causes. Bacterial and viral infections are also a cause, as is stress from surgery, severe burns, and trauma. These factors tend to produce gastritis by causing an increased acid production in the stomach. One known cause of gastritis that does not involve increased acid production is atrophic gastritis, in which the stomach lining becomes wasted and acid is not produced.

Language:: English
Description: Heart failure develops when your heart is damaged and not able to pump enough blood to meet the needs of your body. The heart tends to get bigger and less efficient. The amount of damage to the heart can range from moderate without any symptoms, to severe, leaving you seriously weakened and incapacitated. Congestive heart failure or “CHF” is a common term referring to this excess fluid or “congestion.” Heart failure usually affects the left side of the heart first, but can progress to the right side also. Left heart failure occurs when blood coming into the left side of the heart from the lungs “backs up” causing fluid to leak into the lungs. The name of this condition is pulmonary edema. Some also call it “water on the lungs”. Right heart failure causes swelling in the abdomen and extremities, especially the lower legs. It is common to have both left and right heart failure but either can be present alone.

El nombre de esta enfermedad es edema pulmonar. También se conoce como "tener los pulmones encharcados". La insuficiencia cardiaca derecha provoca hinchazón en el abdomen y las extremidades, especialmente en la parte baja de las piernas. Es frecuente padecer ambas insuficiencias a la vez, pero puede presentarse una de ellas por separado.

Language:: English
Description: Normal blood pressure is important to good health. It is necessary for your heart, arteries, and veins to work. Normal blood pressure is also a key factor for a healthy pregnancy. It controls the correct amount of blood flowing through the placenta. The placenta is special tissue that develops in your womb during pregnancy. Through the umbilical cord your placenta supplies your baby with the right amount of oxygen and nutrients for normal growth. When your blood pressure is higher than normal it is called high blood pressure or hypertension. Even though most women with hypertension have healthy babies, they do have a higher risk of developing certain problems during pregnancy. Hypertension can damage the mother’s heart, kidneys and other organs. It can cause low-birth weight and early delivery of the baby. Early diagnosis and special monitoring of you and your baby by your healthcare provider are important.

Hypertension

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Hypertension
Language:: Cantonese
Description: Hypertension is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force at which blood flows through the large blood vessels (the arteries) from the heart. Blood pressure readings, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), are divided into two numbers, for example, 110/70. The top number is the systolic pressure, which is the pressure generated when the left ventricle of the heart contracts. The bottom number is the diastolic pressure, the pressure that remains when the ventricle is relaxed to allow filling with blood. A systolic reading greater than 140 at rest or a diastolic reading greater than 90 at rest constitutes hypertension. Hypertension is diagnosed with blood pressure readings. Usually, high readings have to be recorded on at least three separate occasions to be considered accurate. The higher the readings, the more severe is the condition. Readings near these high values, for example, 135/85, might be considered borderline (at risk for developing) hypertension.

Se produce cuando hay una lectura sistólica de 140 o más en reposo, o una lectura diastólica de 90 o más en reposo. Normalmente, las lecturas altas tienen que registrarse al menos en tres ocasiones diferentes para considerarlas precisas. Cuanto más altas son las lecturas, más grave es el problema.

Title:: ICDs: Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
Language:: Spanish
Description: Su corazón está “programado” para latir de forma concreta. El ritmo cardíaco está muy organizado y controlado por un sistema eléctrico integrado. El nódulo sinoauricular, el marcapasos natural del corazón, le marca un ritmo regular de contracción y relajación. Normalmente su frecuencia cardiaca es regular, latiendo entre 60 y 100 veces por minuto. Al descansar o dormir, late con mayor lentitud. Al realizar una actividad, late con mayor rapidez. Todo esto lo controla el nódulo sinoauricular. Situadas en la aurícula derecha, las células "marcapasos" especiales que forman el nódulo SA envían impulsos al nódulo AV. El nódulo AV está situado en el centro del corazón y actúa como un relé entre las aurículas y los ventrículos. Cuando el nódulo SA “dispara”, se contraen las aurículas y pasa un impulso al nódulo AV. Una vez que el impulso atraviesa el nódulo AV, pasa a través de las fibras nerviosas hasta la parte inferior de los ventrículos. Los ventrículos se contraen y expulsan la sangre del corazón. Estas acciones producen un patrón de bombeo parecido al oleaje.

Knee Arthritis and Fixed Knee Replacement

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Knee Arthritis and Fixed Knee Replacement
Language:: English
Description: Arthritis is the name of any of more than 300 inflammatory joint disorders. There are many different types of arthritis, several of which can affect the knee. The most common form is osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease. In this condition, the slippery cartilage that covers the ends of bones in joints wears down. Cartilage protects the joints and acts as a shock absorber. It provides a smooth, gliding surface for joint motion. Without cartilage to protect the joints, the ends of the bone rub together, causing pain. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can also affect the knees. RA is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, usually in a symmetrical pattern (if one knee has it, the other one will also). In RA, the joint lining (synovium), normally smooth and shiny, becomes inflamed, painful and swollen. The disease, which lasts over a long period of time, can cause damage to cartilage.

It is believed that the increase in melanoma is related to the increase in the amount of time people spend in the sun. Ultraviolet radiation damages the skin and leads to melanoma. Persons at risk for melanoma are those who have fair skin, blue eyes, blond hair, and freckles and burn easily. The risk increases if a close family member has the disease or if one has many abnormal moles (atypical nevi).

Title:: Metatarsalgia
Language:: English
Description: Metatarsalgia is a term used to describe pain in the ball of the foot. This type of forefoot pain can be confused with many other causes of forefoot pain, so it is important to ensure the diagnosis is correct. Specifically, metatarsalgia refers to inflammation or pain of the metatarsal heads. Or in other words, "bone pain." This pain usually is due to increased forces through the forefoot, such as when wearing high heels or when the normal fat pad has shrunk. Increased pressure through the ball of the foot results in inflammation of one or more of the metatarsal bones. Diagnoses that can be confused with metatarsalgia include Morton's neuroma (nerve pain), sesamoiditis, and synovitis.

Mitral Valve Prolapse

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Mitral Valve Prolapse
Language:: English
Description: The mitral valve consists of two flaps (or cusps) located between the upper left chamber (atrium) and lower left chamber (ventricle) of the heart. When your heart beats, this valve opens and closes in a rhythmic pattern, allowing blood to flow in one direction. Mitral valve prolapse occurs when one or both of the flaps are too large or the “strings” attached to the flaps are too long. Because the valve is large and floppy it may not close properly. Instead, the valve may close unevenly causing it to bulge back into the left atrium. As a result, some blood may leak backward from the ventricle into the atrium. This is called regurgitation. Most individuals with mitral valve prolapse do not have regurgitation and only have the heart sounds associated with it. If regurgitation is present, the amount of blood that leaks back into the atrium varies from person to person. In most cases, the amount of backward blood flow is slight and does not cause problems.

Mitral Valve Prolapse

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Title:: Mitral Valve Prolapse
Language:: Spanish
Description: La válvula mitral se compone de dos solapas (o rebordes) ubicadas entre la cámara superior izquierda (aurícula) y la cámara inferior izquierda (ventrículo) del corazón. Cuando su corazón late, esta válvula se abre y se cierra siguiendo un patrón rítmico y permitiendo que la sangre fluya en una única dirección. El prolapso de la válvula mitral se produce cuando una o las dos pestañas son demasiado grandes o las “cuerdas” unidas a las pestañas son demasiado largas. Dado que la válvula es grande y flexible no puede cerrarse adecuadamente. En lugar de eso, la válvula puede cerrarse de modo desigual provocando que se abulte y sobresalga hacia la aurícula izquierda. Como resultado, alguna sangre puede ser devuelta del ventrículo a la aurícula. Esto se denomina regurgitación. La mayoría de las personas que padecen prolapso de la válvula mitral no presentan regurgitación y sólo tienen los sonidos cardiacos asociados a ella. Si existe regurgitación, la cantidad de sangre que regresa a la aurícula varía de unas personas a otras. En la mayor parte de los casos, la cantidad de sangre que regresa es escasa y no causa problemas.

Title:: Multiple Sclerosis
Language:: English
Description: Multiple sclerosis is a slowly progressive disease of the central nervous system affecting at least 300,000 young Americans. This results from multiple areas of damage or destruction of the protective covering (demyelination) of nerve fibers. Each nerve is covered by a protective myelin coating. The myelin is much like the insulation covering an electrical wire. If it is damaged or partially stripped away, an electrical signal cannot be transmitted without being interrupted. With nerves, the interruption of the impulse causes symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the extremities; dizziness; unsteady gait; changes in vision; and difficulty with speech.

Description: Your heart is “wired” to beat in a specific way. The rhythm of the heart is very organized and controlled by a built-in electrical system. The SA node, the heart’s own natural pacemaker, signals it to relax and contract in a regular rhythm. Usually your heart rate is regular and beats between 60 and 100 times per minute. When you rest or sleep, it beats more slowly. When you are active, it beats more quickly. The SA node controls all of this. Located in the right atrium, the special “pacemaker” cells that make up the SA node send impulses to the AV node.

Description: Su corazón está “programado” para latir de una manera concreta. El ritmo cardíaco está muy organizado y controlado por un sistema eléctrico integrado. El nódulo sinoauricular, el marcapasos natural del corazón, le marca un ritmo regular de contracción y relajación. Normalmente su frecuencia cardiaca es regular, latiendo entre 60 y 100 veces por minuto. Al descansar o dormir, late con mayor lentitud. Al realizar una actividad, late con mayor rapidez. Todo esto lo controla el nódulo sinoauricular. Situadas en la aurícula derecha, las células "marcapasos" especiales que forman el nódulo SA envían impulsos al nódulo AV. El nódulo AV está situado en el centro del corazón y actúa como un relé entre las aurículas y los ventrículos. Cuando el nódulo SA “dispara”, se contraen las aurículas y pasa un impulso al nódulo AV. Una vez que el impulso pasa a través del nódulo AV, baja por las fibras nerviosas hasta la parte inferior de los ventrículos provocando su contracción y haciendo que la sangre salga del corazón. Estas acciones producen un patrón de bombeo parecido al oleaje.

In a Pap test, which is quick and painless, a few cells are removed from your cervix, the narrow tube that connects the uterus above and the vagina below. When you have a Pap test, most of the time you’ll also have a pelvic exam, in which your uterus, ovaries, vagina, fallopian tubes (which connect your ovaries to your uterus), and rectum are examined to make sure they’re healthy. Women 18 and older should have a Pap test and pelvic exam every year. Girls under 18 who are having sex should too.

Language:: English
Description: The primary functions of wheelchair cushions are to prevent pressure ulcers, maintain pelvic and spinal alignment and maintain a stable posture. Pressure ulcers are also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores. Because only one third of your body surface supports your body weight when you sit, your blood flow is restricted. Circulation is further reduced if you have lost muscle mass which once served as a natural cushion. Another risk of sitting is shear force. This is the tendency to slide forward in the cushion causing stress along the surface of your skin. If you develop a pressure ulcer it can be very serious and lead to hospitalization, surgery, and, rarely, even death. Most pressure ulcers can be prevented.

Description: Pyelonephritis means infection of the kidney. This usually starts as a urinary tract infection (UTI). A UTI is an inflammation that occurs when germs get into the urinary tract. These germs usually enter the urinary tract through the urethra (tube that carries urine out of the body). These germs may then go up to the urinary bladder (the organ where urine is stored before it is passed out of the body) and sometimes to the kidney. When they go to the kidney, it is called pyelonephritis. Sometimes germs may reach the kidneys from the bloodstream. Infections of the kidney are less common; however, they are more serious. Repeated kidney infections may hurt the kidney and lead to scarring. Very rarely, when an individual has a block or other problem in the urinary tract, then infection may continue to damage the kidneys and cause what is called chronic pyelonephritis. This can cause kidney failure. Certain individuals have a greater risk of getting UTIs.
