Diseases by Alcohol
When the alcohol is drunk, it goes in the stomach and intestines, and enters the bloodstream being carried all over the body. The alcohol mainly affects those tissues riched in blood vessels.The alcohol is a toxic substance for the body's cells. It works as a poison for the cells having a hygroscopic effect (big concentrations of alcohol uses the water from the cells). The alcohol causes the protoplasm's albumins (a simple water-soluble protein found in many animal tissues and liquids) to segragate and the protoplasm to coagulate destroying the cell. No wonder that a long and abusive alcohol consumption damages the body's cells.
On the other hand, the alcohol is a stress factor for the entire body causing an increased blood pressure. High amounts of substances like sugar, lipids and cortisone are released into the bloodstream.
DISEASES OF RESPERATORY SYSTEM
Aimed principally at those on the new medical curriculum, this textbook on the respiratory system covers the structure and function of the system and its major diseases. It offers integrated coverage of the structure, function and major diseases of the respiratory system. The cove rage of the basic science is clinically driven - a common clinical presentation introduces each major topic. Coverage of major diseases of the respiratory system equips students for the contact with patients which occurs early in the new medical course.
DISEASES OF TOUNGE
Tongue is a muscular organ associated with the function of deglutition, taste and speech. Some characteristic changes occur in the tongue in some particular diseases. Tongue Diagnosis is a part of the Chinese Medicine Diagnosis. All doctors examine the tongue and they consider the changes in size, shape, color, moisture, and coating etc.- When there is increase of urea and other nitrogenous waste products in the blood due to kidney failure. Here the tongue becomes brown in color.
- When there is decrease in hemoglobin percentage of the blood. In severe anemia tongue becomes pale.
In typhoid fever tongue becomes white coared like a fur. - Deficiency of this vitamin B2 produces megenta color of the tongue with soreness and fissures of lips.
- Deficiency of niacin vitamin B3 and some other B complex vitamins results in bright scarlet or beefy red tongue.
- Vitamin A deficiency causes furrowed tongue.
- In Geographic tongue irregular red and white patches appear on the tongue.
- In nutrional deficiency there is glossitis leading to papillary hypertrophy followed by atrophy.
- Thiamine and riboflavin deficiency causes hypertrophied filiform and fungiform papillae.
DISEASES OF HEART
Complications in Depression
Depression is often chronic, with episodes of recurrence and improvement. Approximately one-third of patients with a single episode of major depression will have another episode within 1 year after discontinuing treatment, and more than 50% will have a recurrence at some point in their lives. Depression is more likely to recur if the first episode was severe or prolonged, or if there have been recurrences. To date, even newer antidepressants have failed to achieve permanent remission in most patients with major depression, although the standard medications are very effective in treating and preventing acute episodes.
Risk for Suicide
About 90% of suicides are due to treatable disorders, most commonly depression or substance abuse. People with depression have up to a 15% risk for suicide, with the highest risk in patients who are hospitalized for depression. Some studies indicate that atypical depression poses a higher risk for suicide than typical depression and that dysthymia may pose a higher risk than episodic major depressive disorder. Depressed men are more likely to commit suicide than depressed women, and in the U.S. and around the world, suicide is most common in men older than 60. Suicidal preoccupation or threats of suicide should always be treated seriously in anyone, however.
DISEASES OF EYES
Eye disease can range from mild an annoying to severe and loss of vision. It is not uncommon for eye diseases to go undiagnosed until the vision is affected, as many people do not regularly schedule visits with an ophthalmologist unless they are having vision difficulties. Symptoms related to eye disease include red, irritated, or blood shot eyes, blinking excessively, blurry vision, burning sensations, bumps on the eye or eyelid, cloudiness, crossed eyes, lazy eye, discharge, distorted vision, dry eyes, loss of eyelashes, grittiness, halo vision, lack of night vision, limited ability to move the eyes, or anything out of the ordinary. Infants typically show few or no signs of eye disease unless there is an obvious discoloration, bruising, or swelling of the eyes due to their inability to focus.
Injury and trauma are most often seen in athletes and pilots, especially those who fly fighter jets. Pressure can create risk factors for eye disease. Age, sun exposure, and poor eye maintenance can contribute to eye health issues. Other diseases can contribute to poor eye health, such as diabetes.
DISEASES IN AFRICA
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Fully resistant and multiple-drug resistant pneumococci were discovered in South Africa in 1978. The pattern of emergence of pneumococcal resistance in South Africa has been somewhat different from that observed in Western Europe (and more recently in the United States). In those countries, the emergence of resistance was explosive and associated with a limited number of clones, particularly of serotype 23F and 6B, which are associated with multidrug resistance and high-level penicillin resistance. The highly resistant strains initially isolated in South Africa belonged largely to serotype 19A and for some as yet unexplained reason, remain rare. Antimicrobial resistance to penicillin in the pneumococcus in South Africa has reached very high levels (approximately 45% in young children), but most of this resistance is caused by a large number of intermediately penicillin-resistant strains rather than a limited number of clones found internationally. Antibiotic resistance differs in the public versus private health-care sectors of South Africa. The most important difference may be the relative scarcity of macrolide resistance among strains of pneumococci in public hospitals, where these drugs are less often used.
DISEASES BY NOISE POLLUTION
According to a recent research by the World Health Organization, noise pollution has been found to be one of triggers leading to heart disease. Are you aware that in the U.K. alone, 101,000 people died of coronary heart disease in 2006? The study suggests that 3,030 of these heart deaths were caused by chronic noise exposure.
Do you know noise pollution is classified as intrusive noise that distracts and disrupts regular functioning? In the cities, airplanes and cars are the major contributors of noise pollution. But, don’t be under the misconception that noise pollution is a problem of the big cities alone. Even in the suburbs noise pollution can be found in the form of lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and home/office construction.
As per the WHO guidelines, continual night-time exposure of 50 decibels or above is the noise threshold for cardiovascular problems.
Not just heart disease, the WHO study also suggests that noise pollution is also the cause of disturbed sleep, tinnitus, and severe irritation among people.
DISEASES BY GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 ºC (1.33 ± - 0.32 ºF) during the 100 years ending in 2005. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the temperature increase since the mid-twentieth century is "very likely" due to the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. Natural phenomena such as solar variation and volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward. These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with these findings, the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC's main conclusions.

Digestion actually starts in the mouth. Your saliva glands produce digestive enzymes that begin the digestive process. Each action sends signals to the next part of the body to prepare them for the job ahead.
DISCEASES BY OIL POLLUTION
Chemical PollutionYears passed, chemicals in water do not. Many types of chemicals have gotten into the water bodies and it is not stopping. Chemical water pollution typically occurs because
1.Chemicals were dumped into water intentionally.
2.Chemicals seeped into water bodies because of broken pipes or spoilt storage tanks.
3.Chemicals got into water bodies because of industrial accidents.
4.Chemicals were leached out of contaminated soil.
1.Severe chemical spills and leaks into our water bodies have an immediate effect on marine life.
2. A lower-level chemical pollution has problems manifesting over a long period of time and sometimes being difficult to link directly to the water pollution.
3.The human effects of chemical pollution in water can generally be viewed the same as any other form of chemical.
There are, however, a few broader categories of chemicals related to water pollution effects.
DISCEASES BY WATER POLUTION
Articles On Water Pollution
Reading articles on water pollution is a depressing and a very complicated subject to get into, but even the quick facts on water pollution are enough to give any conscientious person the chills:
Researcher Larry West estimates that every day, 14,000 people die because of water pollution.
According to official classification, 41.3% of the United States’ water is polluted.
China is the latest victim of impure water tragedies. Emissaries around the globe are working nonstop to help China prevent a polluted-water epidemic before their contaminants spread even further. Some facts on water pollution in China:
70% of Chinese lakes and rivers are polluted, not to mention 90% of their groundwater (which constitutes most of the “potable” water people use for drinking, cooking, etc.) This pollution means that 320 million Chinese citizens have no clean drinking water.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently estimated that 75% of all disease in China comes from water pollution.
WHO puts the number of Chinese water-pollution-related deaths at 100,000 per year
SOLUTION OF AIR POPULATION
The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks indoor air pollution among the top 8 environmental risks to health. Air pollution causes many diseases and is known to be the "invisible killer". Severe air pollution problems have also caused many people to live under unpleasant living conditions. Respiratory ailments (35.7%), lung disease (22%) and lung cancer (15%) are the adverse effects.
DISCEASES BY AIR POPULATION
Carbon Dioxide Emissions Linked To Human Mortality
ScienceDaily (Jan. 4, 2008) — A Stanford scientist has spelled out for the first time the direct links between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increases in human mortality, using a state-of-the-art computer model of the atmosphere that incorporates scores of physical and chemical environmental processes. The new findings come to light just after the Environmental Protection Agency's recent ruling against states setting specific emission standards for this greenhouse gas based in part on the lack of data showing the link between carbon dioxide emissions and their health effects.
DISCEASES CAUSED BY SMOKING
We try not to smoke to have a good health. And did you know that Cigarettes and more specifically tobacco smoke are full of chemicals andpoisons. As you discovered in our chemicals in cigarettes section tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, many of which make smoking harmful.· Smoking KILLS
· Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.
· One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
· Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
· The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
DISCEASES BY BACTERIA
Bacillus anthracis is an aerobic spore-forming bacterium that causes disease in humans and animals. The bacteria is found in two forms cutaneous anthrax and inhalation anthrax. Cutaneous anthrax is an infection of the skin caused by direct contact with the bacterium. Inhalation or respiratory anthrax is an infectious disease caused by inhaling the spores of the bacterium. While anthrax commonly affects hoofed animals such as sheep and goats, humans may acquire this disease as well. Anthrax is a potential agent for use as a biological weapon or bio-terrorism.
Dengue
Background
Dengue fever, also known affectionately as ‘bonecrusher disease’, is an up-and-coming disease caused by one of four closely-related viruses. WHO estimates that a whopping 2.5 billion people (two fifths of the World’s population) are at risk from dengue. It puts the total number of infections at around 50 million per year, and is now epidemic in more than 100 countries.How it spreadsDengue viruses are transferred to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. The dengue virus circulates in the blood of a human for two to seven days, during the same time they have the fever. If an Aedes mosquito feeds on the infected human during this time it may acquire the virus. Thus, infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus.What it does
Dengue fever is a severe flu-like illness characterised by severe headache, fever, muscle and joint pains, and a rash. The fever itself is rarely fatal. However, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) can result as a complication of the illness, in which case the outlook is much grimmer. This illness begins with a sudden rise in body temperature (up to 41 degrees), together with facial flush and other flu-like symptoms. In severe cases, after a few days of fever the temperature will plummet and signs of circulatory failure will arise. Finally, the patient may go into a state of shock and die within 12-24 hours.Treatment
There is no vaccine against dengue, although several potential vaccines are in the early stages of development. Prevention of further epidemics is currently based around eradicated the spread of the mosquitoes, through vector controls and use of insecticides. In terms of treating the symptoms of dengue fever, increased fluid intake is recommended in order to prevent dehydration, and intravenous fluids may be given to minimize this risk.
The human body is grossly contaminated with microbes and, for the most part, this is beneficial. Consequently, the finding of microbial and viral transcripts within human EST databases should not come as a big surprise. However, the extent of human-associated microbial diversity and the possible role of infectious agents in common human diseases remains relatively unknown. An increasingly detailed understanding of the human genome will allow us to distinguish between endogenous human transcripts and those expressed by microbial residents.
