Cataracts - Fog On Eyes

Cataracts - Fog On Eyes

Cataract is a disease of the eye because the eye lens becomes opaque thereby blocking the incoming light. Sight cataract patients to be impaired and might even be getting worse and blindness if not treated properly. The cause of turbidity that occurs in the eye lens can vary, can occur due to the hydration (addition of a liquid lens), lens or protein denaturation can also result from both. Usually about two eyes and walked progressive.

Causes and processes of a cataract

Cataract occurs largely due to factors of age or aging, but cataracts can also be caused by several other risk factors, such as:

* Traumatic cataract: caused by a history of trauma / injury to the eye.
* Cataract secondary: caused by other diseases, such as disease / metabolic disorders, inflammatory processes in the eye, or diabetes (diabetes mellitus).
* Cataract caused by exposure to radiation.
* Cataracts are caused by the use of long-term medications such as corticosteroids and cholesterol-lowering drugs.
* Congenital cataracts are influenced by genetic factors.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Symptoms of cataract disease is usually in the form of complaints decreased ability of vision that occurs progressively (such as progressively worsening nearsightedness). Misty vision as if the pupils saw the smoke and whitish. Furthermore, if the cataract has been getting worse pupils will look really white, so that the light reflex of the eye becomes negative (-).

If the cataract is not treated immediately and left it will obviously disrupt the ability to see and possibly also can cause complications in the form of Glaucoma and Uveitis.

Treatment

Drug - a drug cataract eye drops, vitamins or anti-oxidants only hinder the process of increasing maturation of the cataract, but can not reduce or eliminate cataracts. Opersi cataract done if the vision has been disturbing the patient, should not wait until the cataract matures. Cataracts can not be resolved by the laser, but will have to surgically remove the cloudy lens is then replaced with an artificial lens planting. Cataract surgery can be performed with a microscope and phacoemulsification machines, which memafaatkan ultrasonic vibrations to destroy cataracts. Laser action can be used after cataract surgery, if the lens capsule had turbidity.

Cataract

Cataract is an eye disease that is characterized by the presence of fog on the lens of the eye. Normal eye lens is transparent and contains a lot of water, so that light can penetrate it easily. Although the new cells on the lens will always be formed, many factors that can lead to areas within the lens becomes opaque, hard, and solid. Lenses that do not clear it will not be able to resume light onto the retina to be processed and sent through the optic nerve to the brain.



Cataract disease prevalent in tropical countries like Indonesia. This deals with the causes of cataracts, the ultraviolet rays from sunlight. Other causes are nutritional deficiencies that can accelerate the process of developing cataracts.


What Causes Cataracts?



Most cataracts occur due to the degenerative process or a person's age. Cataracts appear mostly in the elderly. Statistics show that over 90% of people aged over 65 years suffer from cataracts. Approximately 550% of people aged 75-85 years of his eyesight due to cataracts is reduced. Although it can actually be treated, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world.

Unfortunately, A cataract patients may not realize have undergone cataract disorder. Cataracts occur slowly-slowly so that people with impaired vision gradually. because generally the cataract grows very slowly and does not affect the power of vision from the beginning. The new power of vision is affected after cataract develops around 3-5 years. Therefore, cataract patients are usually aware of the disease once it enters a critical stage.



At the beginning of the attack, cataract patients felt itching in the eyes, tears easily come out, disturbed vision at night, and could not resist the glare of sunlight or lamplight. Furthermore, the patient will see the film like a cloud in front of his eyesight. The cloud that covers the lens of the eye is finally getting closer and cover all parts of the eye. When you have reached this stage, the patient will lose his eyesight.



Generally there are 4 types of cataract as follows.

1. Congenital, is a cataract that occurred since the baby was born and developed in the first year of his life. This type of cataract is extremely rare.

2. Traumatic, is a cataract that occurs because of an accident on the eyes.

3. Secondary cataracts are caused by the consumption of drugs such as prednisone and corticosteroids, as well as diabetics. Cataract affects 10 times more common by people with diabetes than the general population.

4. Age-related cataracts, the most common type of cataract. Based on its location, there are 3 types of cataract, namely nuclear sclerosis, cortical, and posterior subcapsular. Nuclear sclerosis is a lens changes gradually so that it becomes hard and creamy. The view is much more affected than the near vision (reading vision), even the view can be a better read. Patients also have difficulty distinguishing colors, especially the color birru. Type of cortical cataract occurs when the fibers of the lens becomes cloudy, it can cause glare, especially when driving at night. Is the occurrence of posterior subcapsular opacities on the back side of the lens. Cataract causes glare, blurry vision in bright light conditions, as well as reading vision decreases.



Common symptoms of cataract problems include:

*

Vision is not clear, as there is fog blocking objects.
*

Sensitive to light or light.
*

Can see the double in one eye.
*

Require bright lighting to be read.
*

Eye lens become opaque as milk glass.

cataracts can also occur in infants because the mother infected with the virus during pregnancy. Other causes of cataracts include:

*

Heredity.
*

Congenital defects.
*

Health problems, such as diabetes.
*

Use of certain medications, especially steroids.
*

Without protective eye exposed to sunlight for a long time.
*

Previous eye surgery.
*

Trauma (accidents) in the eye.
*

Other factors are unknown.





Medical treatment

The solution to cure cataract is medically generally by way of operating. Layer in the eye removed and replaced with an artificial lens (intraocular lens). This operation is quite risky and does not promise cure 100%. Recently found to advanced technology, namely surgery by laser light.

All of these treatments depends on the economic ability of patients, because of eye surgery to butukan funds are not small. Costs required to operate on one eye due to cataracts is currently about 5 million dollars. Then what about the weak economy is to get a kilo of rice alone is not able to pay?

Causes of Liver Disease or Liver Disease

Liver diseases are most likely to occur in adults include: * Gallstones, which may clog the bile duct * Hemochromatosis, a condition that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron. Accumulation of iron causes damage to the liver and other organs * Hepatitis, an inflammation and infection of the liver caused by one of several viruses * Cystic disease of the liver, causing injuries and the masses who filled fluid in the liver * Porphyria, a condition that causes a malfunction in how the body uses porphyrins. Porphyrins is very important in the manufacture of hemoglobin in red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body * Primary sclerosing cholangitis, a condition that causes narrowing of the bile ducts of the liver due to inflammation and scarring * Sarcoidosis, a disease that causes an expansion of the wounds in the liver and other organs of the body * Cirrhosis, a serious condition that causes tissue and liver cells replaced by scar tissue * Type I glycogen storage disease, which causes problems in controlling blood sugar when one is fasting
Liver disease associated with alcohol include:
* Alcoholic Hepatitis * Fatty liver disease that causes liver enlargement * Alcoholic Cirrhosis

Causes of Appendicitis

Causes of Appendicitis

In the past we are often reminded by our parents do not swallow cashew, appendicitis later ...!!
er recall whether the warning?
As usual childhood in ancient times we often eat guava / guava or lyre (if for the present we are still kids like guava or harp?) Do not eat the tree might not know they were in because of the times today.

The author had a discussion with his friend who is a doctor. The doctor explained, or explained that he had operated on thousands of times people who get sick with appendicitis.
As long as he do an appendectomy, the doctors never found in the appendix that the name cashew, chilli seeds, especially seeds durian ..

The doctor also explained that the pain of appendicitis occur because we are LESS DRINKING WATER! Not that eating whole grains, due to lack of drinking water can result in bowel movement frequency (BAB) is also reduced.
If the frequency of bowel is reduced, while the food we eat is so rubbish, ready to be discarded later blocked in the colon. Eventually they will go up the dirt and into the appendix.

Having been in the form of feces, rotting, then there was an infection. If infection occurs then the white blood levels to rise (because of the infection).
so if there are symptoms of appendicitis, when checked his blood, the levels lecocyt will definitely go up sharply.

So if you want to avoid the disease appendicitis: A lot is to drink water! so that the dirt dirt that is in the appendix will be out in the 'Flush / Flushing' by water.
Just a tip: in the urinal typically, there are 4 circles of white (clear), then yellow, yellow a bit old, and old yellow once. Then there is an explanation below:
Color clear: You are in good shape!
Jonquil: You still Ok, but drink more Water.
Yellow color is rather old: You are being dehidrated! Drink water now!
Deep yellow color of all: Warning, Your body in danger!
We can know if we drink less than the color of our urine. Keep drinking guysand girls! (Water, not alcohol!)

RENAL

Kidneys are vital organs that one function is as a filter / filter the blood. For those who have high blood pressure should be kept really do not get our blood pressure go up and down because of high blood pressure when we go up and down resulting in the kidneys work harder. Avoid fizzy drinks let alone drink this morning so fatally weakened kidney function. If we have blood viscosity immediately warm to drink water that much of this serves to thin the blood in the kidneys filter blood let the light does not leak kidney damage. Beginnings of kidney disease usually begins with high blood pressure and heart disease are not maintained properly. Do not be too much consumption of chemical drugs because of kidney function will increasingly work hard, try the consumption of herbal remedies such as supplements. Kidney disease currently affects many of all ages not only the parents alone, children remajapun many suffer from this disease.
Symptoms, body swelling, teruma on the feet and hands, felt pain around the waist and body often feel weak, tired, and hypertensive disorders.
The cause of this disease such as an unhealthy lifestyle, rarely exercise, diet is inconsequential, often consume alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, less drinking water and consumption of chemical drugs in the long term. Therapies that can be used is by acupressure routine, the consumption of cordyceps and vigor rousing capsul.

Symptoms of Kidney Failure

* At the beginning, kidney failure mugkin asymptomatic (no symptoms at all). As kidney function decreases, symptoms associated with the inability to regulate balance, water balance and electrolyte-electrolyte, to clean waste from the body, and promotes red blood cell production. Lethargy, weakness, shortness of breath, and swelling that commonly occur. Do not realize it or not treated, the circumstances that endanger life can flourish.
* Metabolic acidosis, or increased body acidity caused by the inability to produce bicarbonate, will alter the metabolism of enzymes and oxygen, causing organ failure.
* Inability to issue and the rise in levels of serum potassium (hyperkalemia) is associated with disturbances of a fatal heart rhythm (arrhythmias).
* Increase the levels of urea in the blood (uremia) can affect the function of some organs from the brain (encephalopathy) with a change of thinking, to inflammation of the lining of the heart / heart lining (pericarditis), until muscle function is reduced because the rate- low calcium levels (hypocalcemia).
* General weakness can occur due to anemia, a reduction in the number of red blood cells, because low levels of erythropoietin are not sufficiently stimulate the bone marrow. A decline in the red cells together with a decrease in blood capacity to carry oxygen, resulting in a reduced oxygen supply to the cells for their work; therefore, the body becomes tired quickly. Likewise, the oxygen is reduced, the cells more readily use anaerobic metabolism / anaerobic metabolism (an = without + aerobic = oxygen) leads to an increase in the amount of acid production which can not be handled by the kidneys have failed.
* When waste builds up in blood, loss of appetite, kelesuaan, and fatigue become apparent. It will continue at a point where mental function is reduced and coma may occur.
* Because the kidneys can not handle the increase in acid load in the body, breathing becomes faster because the lungs are trying to neutralize the acidity by releasing carbon dioxide. Blood pressure may rise because of excess fluid and excess fluid can be stored in the lungs, causing congestiv heart failure (congestive heart failure).

Kidney Stones, Causes and Prevention

Back pain occurs when the rock entered obstruction in the kidney. Meanwhile, severe pain in the abdomen occurs when the stone had been moved into the ureter. Nausea and vomiting are always following the severe pain. Kidney stone patients sometimes also experience fever, chills, blood in the urine of stone if injure the ureter, abdominal distention, pus in the urine.

IN medical terms, kidney stones or renal calculi Nephrolithiasis called. Kidney stones are a condition there is one or more stones in the pelvis or calyces of the kidney or ureter at the channel. The formation of kidney stones can occur in any part of the urinary tract, but is usually formed in two parts most of the kidney, namely in tubs kidney (renal pelvis) and the renal calix. Stone can be formed from calcium, phosphate, or a combination of uric acid is usually dissolved in the urine.

Kidney stones vary in size, can be either single or double. The stones stay in kidney tubs or to enter into the ureters and can destroy kidney tissue. Large stone will damage the tissue by pressure or cause an obstruction, resulting in back flow of fluid. Most kidney stones can occur repeatedly.

What causes them? Kidney stones are found in 1 in 1,000 people, usually more prevalent in men (aged 30-50 years) than women. Also encountered in certain areas. Although no definite known cause of kidney stones, chances are when the urine becomes too concentrated and substances in urine form crystals in the rock. Other causes are infection, obstruction, excess secretion of parathyroid hormone, in renal tubular acidosis, elevated levels of uric acid (usually in conjunction with inflammation of the joints), damage to the metabolism of several types of materials in the body, too much use of vitamin D or consuming too much calcium .

Symptom
Although stone size and location vary, the pain caused by obsruksi is the main symptom. Large stone with a rough surface that comes into the ureter will increase the frequency and force of contraction ureter automatically. The pain starts from the waist down to the hips, then to the external genitalia. The intensity of the pain and the pain fluctuated extraordinary is the peak of pain. If kidney stones are in tubs and in the calix, the pain settled and less intensity. Back pain occurs when the rock entered obstruction in the kidney. Meanwhile, severe pain in the abdomen occurs when the stone had been moved into the ureter. Nausea and vomiting are always following the severe pain. Kidney stone patients sometimes also experience fever, chills, blood in the urine of stone if injure the ureter, abdominal distention, pus in the urine.

How is the diagnosis? The doctor will ask for symptoms, then perform the following tests:
1.Foto X-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to indicate the presence of kidney stones.
2.Ultrasound kidney, is a noninvasive test that uses high frequency waves to detect obstruction and its changes.
3.Pemberian intravenous dyes and scan to confirm diagnosis and determine the size and location of kidney stones.
4.Analisis stone to find minerals.
5.Analisis urine culture to show the type of bacteria causing the infection, and others.

Preventing and treating
How is the treatment? Because 90% of kidney stones less than 5 mm in diameter, is usually sufficient given the cooking water from the plant Desmodium stryracifulium and made to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day, given antibiotics to prevent infection, and pain-reducing medication. In general, the stone will come out within 5-10 days.

If the stone is too large to be removed naturally, surgery can be done. If the stones are in the ureter, cystoscopy can be used through the urethra and the catheter manipulated stones. Expenditures stone from other areas (in calix and pelvis) require the operation of the side or lower abdomen. Procedure called percutaneus ultrasonic lithotripsy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to break up kidney stones into tiny fragments, so it can be expelled naturally or by suction.

For the prevention of kidney stones, drinking boiled water should plant Desmodium stryracifolium, or encouraged to eat less calcium, was given medication to prevent uric acid stone formation, and vitamin C which give the acidity of the urine. If the parathyroid glands also include the cause, doctors will recommend actions paratiroidektomi (parathyroid glands removed).

Prognosis: Kidney stones often cause symptoms of extreme pain, but usually after being sent does not cause permanent damage. It is often relapse, especially when no cause is found and treated.

Complications:
1. Kidney stones recur.
2. Urinary tract infection.
3. Blockage of the ureter.
4. Partial damage of kidney tissue.
5. Decreased or loss of kidney function is affected.
