AIDS/HIV can be treatable through a bone marrow transplant operation?
the doctors that reported that the bone marrow transplantation not only treated the people from cancer but also provide protection and treatment to the AIDS/HIV infection. Even though the retrovirus is not only in bone marrow but also in brain and the gastrointestinal system and could be that the retroviral infection could appear again.nevertheless it is one of the most important breakthroughs in the field of AIDS/HIV treatment.
This is also not the first case that a bone marrow transplantation treated the AIDS/HIV virus. In the "Berlin patient " they cure from the retroviral infection come after a bone marrow transplantation from a donor who had a natural body resistance to the AIDS/HIV virus (she could live without retroviral drugs as his body was combating the virus himself).many people in Scandinavian countries up beer to have this natural resistance.
It is important to consider that the two new cases donors have no such advantage like the Berlin^s patient donor.

The European Commission adopted in July 2011 boseprevir the treatment of chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 in combination with pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin. Combination therapy for adult patients over 18 years of age with compensated liver disease who had not received previous treatment or who were not effective prior treatment with combination pegylated interferon and ribavirin.

Treat hypoglycemia
The term hypoglycemia meansthe pathological condition resulting in having low blood Glucose Levels as to cause clinical manifestations, including symptoms.
If a diabetic, either type 1 or type 2, is hypoglycemia (eg, glucose 50 mg / dl or less), with or without symptoms, you should immediately get 15 gr simple carbohydrate.
The carbohydrate can be taken either in liquid form (eg orange juice without sugar) or a solid, eg sugar cubes and a tablespoon of sugar or honey.
All this because they are simple carbohydrates are absorbed quickly and act promptly, but the action lasts only 15 to 20 minutes.
If hypoglycemia occurred more than 15 minutes before the scheduled lunch, the patient should eat a meal before or consumed and complex carbohydrates or proteins, to cover a longer period (beyond 15 to 20 minutes he gave the simple carbohydrate).
The complex carbohydrates like bread or toast, combined with protein (eg cheese, butter or milk) usually provide enough food, but the blood sugar should be checked every 20 minutes until the next meal, to avoid recurrence of hypoglycaemia. A glass of skim milk has the same amount of protein and carbohydrates with a glass of whole milk.
If the patient is unconscious or unable to swallow, then it should be an intramuscular injection of glucagon (Glucagon 1 mg).People who are living with the patient should be trained in how to administer the injection.
Patients are treated with sulfonylureas (diabetes pills) and also those with impaired renal function should contact their doctor, because in these cases may be prolonged hypoglycemia for several hours or days.
Briefly, a diabetic with hypoglycemia recommended orange juice for immediate correction and control blood sugar 20 minutes later if the patient has not eaten in between meal.
If the 20 minutes the blood sugar remains below 70 mg / dl, the patient should drink more orange juice and eat complex carbohydrates or protein to stabilize blood sugar levels until the next meal.

Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are the result of dilatation of submucosal veins.
Hemorrhoids are divided into:
1st Grade: characterized from those that are not projecting from the anus
Grade 2: characterized from those that are projecting from the anus by defecation but return automatically after
3rd Grade: characterized from those that come back with help
4th Grade: characterized that many do not return (always stay out)
What causes the disease - Causes - trigger Factors
Predisposing factors for hemorrhoids include:
constipation,
pregnancy,
deferrals of the bowel due to lack of time or social circumstances and the prolonged stay in the area of bowel
sedentary lifestyle
the reduced exercise
age
intense coughing
stress
Epidemiological evidence
50% of men and women may develop hemorrhoids at some point in their lives. Of this percentage, approximately 10 to 20% required surgical intervention.
The disease is known by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians.
How manifest the disease - Symptoms
The symptomatology of the disease include:
Bleeding
Pain in the anal area
Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids grid
Discomfort
Rectal fluids (mucus secretion)
Itching (pruritus)
Feeling of incomplete defecation
Diagnosis of the disease - Examinations
You should assess the situation, excluding the existence of other diseases that cause similar symptoms to hemorrhoids as fissures, fistulae and abscesses around the anus. Special attention requires the appearance of blood in the stool may hold such colon cancer (the second most common cancer in the world), particularly at ages over 50.
Appropriate tests include:
Overview of rectal palpation and surface
Colonoscopy, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and necessary tests to exclude other benign or malignant disease.
What are the complications
Iron deficiency anemia due to bleeding
Treatment - Methods to address
The treatment of hemorrhoids first and second degree are conservative. The anti-constipation, healthy diet and lifestyle changes are the most simple and most important ways to improve or treatment of disease.
Laxatives should be given at the doctor's instructions.
The use of anal ointments helps but only temporarily.
When the disease persists usually requires surgery. Many methods and techniques have been applied to the surgical treatment of hemorrhoids eg (sclerotherapy, photocoagulation, rubber rings etc.)
The ligation (suture closure) under ultrasound hemorrhoids arteries is a new, modern method.

Definition of Plastic surgery
Webster's dictionary defines plastic surgery as a specialty of surgery that is intended to correct, restore or improve parts of the human body that are either injured or are poorly or incorrectly configured. Some people think it is synonymous with something fake and superficial, while others believe that it is a transportation and transplantation of plastic parts in humans.
Indeed there is some truth in these interpretations since the word "Plastic" is derived from the Greek word "plastic" meaning "He who has the ability to shape."
The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) defines plastic surgery as follows:
"Plastic surgery deals with correcting, restoring or replacing natural deficits or functions in the skin, musculoskeletal system, craniofacial region, hands, legs, the breast and trunk, the external genitalia or cosmetic surgery areas them to improve them. The plastic surgeon uses aesthetic surgical techniques in order to achieve good aesthetic results but also to provide the most ideal outcome in reconstructive operations both aesthetically and functionally.
Specialized knowledge and experience in planning surgery of grafts, the flaps, free transfer and transplant tissue microsurgical technique. The anatomy, physiology, pathology and other basic sciences are the basis for specificity. The ability of the plastic surgery based on the basic medical and surgical knowledge, surgical crisis, technical integrity, ethical behavior, and the ability of interpersonal communication for both solving problems and creating satisfied patients.

Treat Gingivitis gum disease
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums is mainly the result of poor oral hygiene. In the slit between the teeth and gums are collected debris, which create the plaque. The plaque contains many bacteria that produce acids and irritate gums.
Preventing gum disease is feasible, while the response, if already present, it is necessary, as otherwise it will cause serious problems, even leading to tooth loss.
- Brush your teeth everyday morning - at night and in between meals, even after coffee.
- Use dental floss daily. Often, brushing is not enough to
remove the food from the teeth.
- Avoid using baking soda or salt for brushing teeth and using toothpaste with fluoride.
- Change your toothbrush frequently (approximately every 2 months) preferring those with moderate hardness.
- Make at least every 6 months a precautionary check up your dentist.
-If you already suffer from gingivitis, necessarily visit the dentist, who will make thorough cleaning of the teeth in order to completely remove the stone that has been created. Then, a correct and regular brushing the inflammation subsides.
- In addition to poor oral hygiene, gingivitis can lead to diabetes, and certain blood diseases and hormonal disorders (eg puberty, pregnancy, etc.).

Pain and Palliative Care
It is important to know that patients with cancer and chronic illnesses since 1986, the World Health Organization (WHO) decided that their pain must be treated in specialized centers Pain and Palliative Care.
This is because pain does not pass with a simple painkiller pill, but requires full address, ie address not only pain but also symptoms that accompany it such as vomiting, physical payment, anorexia, psychological problems, etc.
The ultimate goal is not simply to reduce and eliminate pain but to improve the quality of life. Pain Centers patients curare various disciplines-scientists as algologist specialist, psychologist, social worker, physiotherapist, nurse in the effort of holistic doctors and allied specialties-that work together to address a specific situation.

Smart Bandages
A new wound dressing, developed at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT in Munich, includes a special dye that reacts to different pH values.
The new trauma bandage insulates wounds just like any other bandage, but it provides a special window into how a wound is healing. Typically, healthy skin and healed wounds have a slightly acidic pH, around 5 or 6. If this value increases into the alkaline range, that can indicate infection, reports Gizmag.
If the pH value is between 6.5 and 8.5, the new bandage will turn purple, according to Dr. Sabine Trupp, a scientist at the EMFT. The indicator strip can allow patients and doctors to monitor for infection without having to change dressings. This is an advantage because removing a bandage can let in germs. The next step is to test the strips at a German hospital’s dermatology clinic.
Eventually, the researchers want to integrate an optical sensor, which could measure pH values and indicate the results on a screen, providing precise data about whether a wound is getting better.
