diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a common eye disease in diabetics. Those who suffer from diabetes are also at high risk for other eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. All of these eye diseases can cause severe vision loss to blindness.

Diabetic retinopathy disease process caused by the changes that occur in blood vessels of the retina, which is a thin membrane is formed by nerve cells that line the rear two thirds eyeball. Nerve cells in the retina receives light and sends signals to the brain about what is seen by the eye.

Diabetic retinopathy consists of two stages, namely:
Nonproliferatif retinopathy. An early stage of this disease process. During diabetes, this condition causes the small blood vessel walls in the eye weakens. Arising from a small bulge on the blood vessels (mikroaneurisma) that can be broken so that the leaking fluid and protein into the retina. Reduced blood flow to the retina causes the formation of patches of the form "cotton woolen" gray or white. Fat deposition in white yellow protein (hard exudates) was also formed on the retina. This change may not affect vision unless fluid and protein from the damaged blood vessels causing swelling in the central retina (macula). This condition is called macular edema, which can aggravate a person of vision centers.
Proliferative retinopathy. Nonproliferatif retinopathy can progress to proliferative retinopathy is more severe stage of diabetic retinopathy disease. The main forms of proliferative retinopathy is the growth (proliferation) of fragile blood vessels on the surface of the retina. These abnormal blood vessels easily rupture, bleeding occurs in the middle of the eyeball so that impede vision. Will also form scar tissue that can pull the retina so that the retina regardless of the place. If untreated, proliferative retinopathy can permanently damage the retina and a portion of another portion of the eye, causing severe vision loss or blindness.
Diabetic Retinopathy usually develops into a number of levels in most patients with type 1 diabetes and some types of diabetes 2. Strict Supervisor of blood sugar levels can prevent the risk of developing severe retinopathy and vision loss. In case of retinopathy, the early detection and appropriate treatment (most often with lasers) can help prevent, obstruct or change the loss of sight.

Those who suffer from diabetes, his eyes should be checked at an eye doctor (oftalmologis) every year, even if they have no complaints even though the eye diseases. Dibetes Association of America suggests checking once a year (starting in three to five years after being diagnosed with diabetes type 1 and soon after being diagnosed with diabetes tipe2) with the following reasons:
Someone who developed diabetic retinopathy unknowingly because the disease does not always cause symptoms until the damage to the retina it worse.
Treatment will be more effective if done before the symptoms and complications developed retinopathy.
With regular eye examination, an eye doctor can find out and cure before continuing signs of retinopathy.
Unfortunately, many diabetics who did not check his eyes once a year to find out whether it has experienced retinopathy (or other eye diseases caused by diabetes). Consequently, they did not know that they have suffered from retinopathy until significant vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new blindness in people between the ages of 20 to 74 years. The experts believe many cases of vision loss and blindness may be preventable by taking annual eye examinations in diabetics

dental health smoking mouth

Smoking is already a common thing that we find everywhere in the world. This custom is so widely performed in both environments are highly educated and less educated. Smoking has become a complex problem involving psychological and social phenomena.

Cancer in the oral cavity usually begins with an irritation of the products are burned and smoked cigarettes. This irritation causes white lesions that are not sick.
Also smoking can also cause abnormalities in the oral cavity such as tongue, gums, oral mucosa, teeth and palate in the form of stomatitis nikotina and fungal infections.

Cigarette smoke components and substances that are harmful to the body. Number of components depending on the type of tobacco, combustion temperature, the length of the cigarette, the porosity of paper wrappers, spices, and whether there is a filter cigarette. Whereas dangerous substances such as gases and particles. We suck on the cigarette smoke contains 90% of various gases such as N2, O2, CO2, 10%, the rest contain certain particles such as tar, nicotine and others. Particles in cigarette smoke can cause cancer (carcinogenic) is the tar.

EFFECT OF SMOKING ON ALOE

In heavy smokers, smoking causes stimulation to the papilafiliformis (bulge / hanging on the tongue at the top) so that becomes longer (hypertrophy). Here the result of burning cigarettes easily deposited brownish black, so the smoker is difficult to feel a sense of bitter, salty, and sweet, because damage to the tip of the tentacle sensory (tastebuds).

EFFECT OF SMOKING ON gums

Number of tartar in smokers are more prone than non-smokers. Tartar are not cleaned can cause a variety of complaints such as gingivitis or bleeding gums. Besides, from burning cigarettes may cause circulation of blood circulation to the gums so easy to contract the disease.

Mucosal thickening AKOBAT SMOKING

Smoking is a risk factor for leukoplakia is a white patches or plaques on oral mucosa that can not be deleted. This can be found at the age of 30-70 years the majority of sufferers are smokers, especially men. According to a study of all cases of leukoplakia Silverman 95% were smokers.

Constant irritation from tobacco combustion products cause thickening of the oral mucosal tissue. Before clinical symptoms appear, irritation from tobacco smoke was attacked mucosal epithelial cells, thus increasing its activity. These symptoms only visible when cellular activity increases and becomes a thick epithelium, especially looking at the buccal mucosa (mucosa facing the cheek) and on the floor of the mouth. Oral mucosal changes seen as white patches. White spots are probably caused by a thick epithelium saturated with saliva (spit). Experts said that leukoplakia is a pre-malignant lesions in the mouth. Leukoplakia becomes malignant changes 3-6%.

Noda BECAUSE TOBACCO OR STAIN

Teeth can be discolored by tobacco. At first it stains caused by nicotine is considered, but in fact is the result of burning tobacco in the form of tar. Nicotine itself is colorless and soluble. Shafer and his colleagues say that the brown color occurs in regular smokers, while the black color occurs in smokers who use the pipe. The stains are easy to clean because there is only on the plains outside the tooth. But in people who smoked during their lives, these stains can be entered into the superficial layer of tooth enamel and difficult to remove.

Smoking habits affect oral health, especially changes in the mucosa (mucous membranes). Most, cancers of the mouth begins with mucosal changes. These changes do not cause pain (pre-malignant lesions), so no attention until the situation becomes advanced. Therefore, if there are white patches, as early as possible to come to the dentist.

Make a habit of checking your teeth once every six months, although no respiratory symptoms. And most important is a strong will to eliminate smoking habits, if necessary in consultation with your doctor

coronary hearth desease attact

Symptoms are often taken for granted, but if the contract is, lives are at stake. That's what makes a dangerous coronary heart disease. Moreover with the notion that the threat of disease because of high cholesterol is only valid for those who are elderly or whose weight is excessive.

In fact, now more and more people in productive age (from 20s) may experience disruption of blood vessels and heart attack, due to excessive cholesterol in the blood. Even from the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), currently 25% of world population has high cholesterol. Why did this happen?

Increasing number of patients with coronary heart disease can not be separated from the shift in lifestyle, especially diet community. If people in developed countries have started to realize the importance of reducing cholesterol and fat in their diet; in developing countries, diet high in fat, cholesterol and salt instead increased, along with the number of junk food and snacks that use saturated oils. Obviously the risk increases if there are innate factors, in addition to environmental factors, such as stress and the increasing number of free radicals are formed due to high pollution levels, as well as lack of movement or exercise due to the demands of intensive activity.

7 tips to prevent hearth attack coronary

Coronary heart disease is one of the degenerative disease, meaning that the disease process takes place in a long time, even up to a dozen or a dozen years. Without us knowing it, since we were kids we've started to 'accumulate' cholesterol in our veins. After years, of course, deposition of fat and cholesterol in blood vessel walls become gradually narrows blood vessels and no longer elastic. Consequently, when the blood clot is formed (clot), blood flow will be obstructed, and blood vessels burst / blocked. When this occurs in blood vessels to the brain, that's what we are familiar with the stroke, while in case of the blood vessels to the heart, this is what we all know by heart attacks.

So, who knows the condition of the blood vessels of our current pattern of life which we live today? And, if the cholesterol accumulation was clearly a pioneer of coronary heart disease, how this dangerous substance that can be stacked in our veins? Research shows that cholesterol and fat can attach to and accumulate in the blood vessel wall if the inner wall of blood vessels (endothelium) is damaged and no longer flat due to exposure to free radicals. Free radicals is of course not only damaging our blood vessel walls, but all our other organs were involved were affected.

Prevention to do as early as possible

1. Exercise regularly to help keep the fat burning and keep the circulatory current.
2. Reduce consumption of fatty foods / high cholesterol and increasing consumption of foods high in fiber, like vegetables and fruits.
3. Maintain ideal body weight.
4. Adequate rest and reduce stress, so that the amount of free radicals formed in the body is not too much.
5th. Avoid cigarettes, coffee, and alcoholic beverages.
6. Conduct laboratory examinations regularly to monitor the levels of cholesterol in the blood.
7. Keeping the environment clean.
