Bronchitis is a respiratory disease. The mucous membrane in the lungs’ bronchial passages becomes inflamed in this disease. As the irritated membrane swells and grows thicker, it narrows or shuts off the tiny airways in the lungs, resulting in coughing spells accompanied by thick phlegm and breathlessness. The disease comes in two forms: acute(lasting less than 6 weeks) and chronic (reoccurring frequently for more than two years). People with asthma also experience an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes called asthmatic bronchitis.
Symptoms of bronchitis are lack of energy, fever-which may or may not be present, wheezing sound and breathing, which may or may not be present, cough that is frequent and produces mucus. Acute bronchitis ,generally caused by lung infections, is responsible for the hacking cough and phlegm production. In most cases, it is due to viral infection, but sometimes it is caused by bacteria. Acute bronchitis is very common among both children and adults.
If you have severe or persistent symptoms or if you cough up blood, you should consult a doctor. You should be monitored by a doctor, if you suffer from cronic bronchitis you are at a risk for developing cardiovascular problems as well as more serious lung diseases and infections. Acute viral nasopharyngitis or acute coryza, usually known as Common Cold is highly contagious, viral infectious disease of upper respiratory system, primarily caused by picornaviruses (including rhinoviruses) or coronaviruses.Most colds are caused by rhinoviruses that are in invisible droplets in the air we breathe or on things we touch. Over 200 Over viruses can cause a cold .
People who smoke are more likely to catch a cold than people who don’t and their symptoms will probably be worse, last longer, and are more likely to lead to bronchitis or even pneumonia.A tickle in the throat, a runny or stuffy nose and sneezing are the primary symptoms of cold, followed by a sore throat, cough, headache, nasal congestion, mild fever, fatigue, muscle aches, loss of appetite, etc. Nasal discharge may change from watery to thick yellow or green.At our Institution, common cold is completely curable. We grow herbs in our own farm organically, under the supervision & guidance of Dr.Pradip Doshi & ‘drops’ are prepared from it.
Epilepsy also known as seizure disorder, is a neurological condition, which affects the nervous system. It is usually diagnosed after a person has had at least two seizures that were not caused by alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar. Sometimes it can be diagnosed after one seizure, if a person has a condition that places them at high risk for having another. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency. Mostly the cause is unknown. A fine balance is there in the brain between factors that begin electrical activity and factors that restrict it, and there are also system that limit the spread of electrical activity.
During the attack, these limits break down, and abnormal electrical discharges creates a ‘ storm’ of electrical activity in the brain & one gets attack. When a person has had atleast two of these attacks, thats called epilepsy.There are different reasons for people of different ages for Epilepsy. Children may be born with a defect in the structure of their brain, or they may suffer a head injury or infection that causes their epilepsy. Severe head injury is the most common known cause in young adults. Cancer of the lung, like all cancers, results from an abnormality in the body’s cells. Normally, the body maintains a system of cell growth so that cells divide to produce new cells only when needed. Disruption of this system results in an uncontrolled division and proliferation of cells that eventually forms a mass known as a tumor.
Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors can usually be removed and do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors grow aggressively and invade other tissues of the body, allowing entry of tumor cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system and then to other parts of the body. Since lung cancer tends to spread or metastasize very early in its course, it is considered very life- threatening cancer and one of the most difficult cancers to treat. Lung cancer can spread to any organ in the body, but the adrenal glands, liver, brain Piles are areas in the anal canal where the tissue, which contains lots of blood vessels, becomes swollen.
They can be internal, occurring inside the anus, or external, when they can be seen and felt on the outside of the anus. When visible they look like round pink swellings, the size of a pea or a grape. Piles are common in pregnant women, but are rare in children. Straining to empty the bowels when constipated, Chronic diarrhoea, Pregnancy, Varicose veins, Childbirth, Straining to pass urine, especially in men with prostate problems, Cancer or growths in the pelvis or bowel, which may exert pressure in a similar way to a pregnancy, family history,obesity, causes piles.
Most people affected have internal piles. They may not have symptoms at all. The earliest symptom is often bleeding of fresh, red blood from the anal passage when the bowels are opened and there may be itchiness around the anal area. Third and fourth degree piles may be more painful and tend to produce a slimy discharge of mucus that leaks from the exposed lining of the pile.
Psoriasis, mostly seen worldwide, in all races & both sexes, is a noncontagious common condition of the skin that causes rapid skin cell reproduction resulting in red,dry patches of thickened skin. The dry flakes and skin scales are thought to result from the buildup of the rapid prduction of skin cells. It commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, scalp, and ears.
Some people have very small dry patches on their elbows, knees, or scalp and may not know they have the disease, while others have their entire body fully covered with psoriasis. Psoriasis is considered a long -term (chronic) skin condition. Sometimes psoriasis may clear for years and stay inactive. Some people have more problem in the colder winter months . Many people finds improvement in warmer months, climates, or with increased sunlight exposure. Because of the appearance of their skin, the patients with more severe psoriasis may have emotional distress, social embarrassment, job stress and other personal issues.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine and brain. If not treated properly, it can prove fatal. It is considered a contagious disease.It spreads through air from one person to another. All cases of TB are passed from person to person via droplets. When someone with active TB infection coughs, sneezes, or talks, tiny droplets of saliva or mucus are expelled into the air, which could be inhaled by another person & become infected.
