Your body’s immune system protects you from disease and infection. But if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake. Autoimmune diseases can affect many parts of the body.

No one is sure what causes autoimmune diseases. They do tend to run in families. Women – particularly African-American, Hispanic-American, and Native-American women – have a higher risk for some autoimmune diseases.

There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases, and some have similar symptoms. This makes it hard for your health care provider to know if you really have one of these diseases, and if so, which one. Getting a diagnosis can be frustrating and stressful. Often, the first symptoms are fatigue, muscle aches and a low fever. The classic sign of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain and swelling.

The diseases may also have flare-ups, when they get worse, and remissions, when symptoms get better or disappear. Treatment depends on the disease, but in most cases one important goal is to reduce inflammation. Sometimes doctors prescribe corticosteroids or other drugs that reduce your immune response.

What is Mild Cognitive Impairment? (Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Prevention)

Mild Cognitive Impairment? (Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Prevention) – https://healthery.com/health/mild-cognitive-impairment/

Presented by healthery.com

Individuals experience minimal memory loss and episodes of unclear thinking. It doesn’t prevent daily activities and does not require a caregiver. Those with this condition usually realize they are having memory problems.

What are the Symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment? There are two distinct types called amnestic and nonamnestic. Amnestic symptoms include memory loss, such as forgetting a name or appointment. Nonamnestic symptoms include decision making problems & a lack of organization. Those diagnosed should visit a medical professional once or twice a year. The visit is for testing and to make sure the condition is not getting worse.

What are the Causes of Mild Cognitive Impairment? The causes of MCI are not fully understood. It is thought that the early stages lead to a more serious disorder, such as: Alzheimer’s, but this may not always be the case. Several factors increase an individual’s risk of developing MCI. These risk factors are the same as for dementia. The risk of developing MCI increases with age and may have a genetic component. Including a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. As well as age-related cognitive decline, are most at risk. People at risk of developing cardiovascular disease are also at most risk. This may be because cardiovascular issues can affect blood flow to the brain. Which potentially deprives the brain of oxygen and other nutrients. Over time this may result in cell death. Specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease include: Obesity, smoking, consuming large amounts of alcohol and eating unhealthy diets.

How is Mild Cognitive Impairment Treated? There is no medical treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment. It’s recommended to change daily habits to slow down memory loss. Such treatments include daily exercise and eating nutritious meals. Which include lean protein, vegetables, fruits and grains. It’s suggested to routinely stimulate the mind with mental & social activities. Examples include working on crossword puzzles and conversing with other people.

How is Mild Cognitive Impairment Prevented? Studies show that lowering blood pressure is an effective way of preventing MCI. Reducing the amount of fat in your diet, lowering your cholesterol levels and cutting back salt intake are all steps toward controlling blood pressure. Physical exercise is particularly important in the prevention of MCI. Causing brain cell growth, making it more efficient at using the cells it has. Studies show that exercise slows down cognitive decline and can reverse it. As well as dementia, Alzheimer’s and other age-related cognitive issues. However, such preventive measure cannot remove the risk completely.

Inguinal Hernia Symptoms and Treatment

pain No Comments »

James E. Harris Jr., M.D., Johns Hopkins general surgeon practicing at Howard County General Hospital, describes what an inguinal hernia is, as well as the symptoms and treatment options.

Think having a hernia repaired is going to be a walk in the park — or that you’ll be ready to take a walk in the park within hours afterward? It may be time for a reality check, a Mayo Clinic study suggests. Researchers found that though patients tend to expect to return to normal activities swiftly after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, many of those studied were still experiencing pain and fatigue several days later. People under 60 and women in particular seemed to have more prolonged recoveries. For more information, go to the Mayo Clinic News Network. Study Author Juliane Bingener-Casey provides some perspective.
