 Explain Coronavirus? How we can prevent ourselves from this fatal disease? In December 2019 there was a cluster of Pneumonia cases in the city of Wuhan in China. Some of the early cases had reported visiting or working in a seafood and live animal market in Wuhan. Investigations found that the disease was caused by a newly discovered corona Virus. The disease was subsequently named CoVid-19. CoVid-19 spread within China and to the rest of the world. On 30 January 2020 the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. CoVid-19 is a new disease and what’s known is rapidly evolving and might change in the future. So what is a Corona virus? Corona viruses are a large group of viruses. They consist of a core of genetic material surrounded by a lipid envelope with protein spike. This gives it the appearance of a crown. In Latin, it is called Corona and that’s how these viruses get their name. There are different types of Corona virus...

  Typhoid Fever, Causes, Signs and Symptoms and Prevention: Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is a potentially fatal multi systemic illness caused primarily by salmonella typhi and to a lesser extent by salmonella para typhi with proper treatment. Enteric fever yields a high cure rate but untreated typhoid fever may progress to delirium which is an abrupt change in the brain that causes mental confusion and emotional disruption, intestinal obstruction, intestinal hemorrhage, bowel perforation and death within one month of onset of the disease. Most common transmission method of typhoid fever is oral transmission via ingestion of contaminated food and beverages these food handlers are often asymptomatic. They chronically shed the bacteria through feces or less commonly urine due to poor personal hygiene of these people. Food is often contaminated with bacteria. Bacteria can also be transmitted by drinking sewage contaminated water and eating shellfish and neglecting hand h...

  Diabetes and Heart Disease: People who have diabetes have a higher chance of developing many health problems including heart disease. If you have diabetes, it means your blood glucose or blood sugar is elevated over time. High blood sugar can damage the blood vessels of your heart and other organs leading to other health problems. This means the longer you have diabetes, the greater your risk for heart disease. There are different types of heart disease including coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias and heart failure. Coronary heart disease is a buildup of a cholesterol filled substance called plaque inside the blood vessels of your heart. The buildup of plaque in coronary heart disease can increase your risk of having a heart attack cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of your heart mumuscl. Cardiomyopathy may lead to abnormal heartbeats called arrhythmias. Cardiomyopathy may also lead to heart failure. This means your weakened heart can't pump enough blood t...

 Welcome to our health blog and I’m going to explain type 2 diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that causes sugar in the form of glucose to accumulate in the blood rather than being used as fuel by the cells in our body. When we eat food is broken down by our digestive system into nutrient molecules that are then absorbed through our digestive tract for use by the body foods containing carbohydrates or various sugars are broken down into glucose. Glucose is an important source of fuel for many organs in our body. However to be able to use the glucose for fuel. The glucose molecule must first enter into the cell. The pancreas produces a hormone called Insulin, a chemical messenger essential for the entry of glucose into cells. As the blood glucose levels rise after a meal, insulin is released into the bloodstream and sets processes in motion. To trigger the removal of glucose from the blood to enter into the cells. In type 2 diabetes the cells become resistant to...

  Diabetes Type 1: Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which your pancreas does not produce insulin, a hormone . Your body needs to maintain proper blood sugar levels. After you eat foods that contain carbohydrates, chemicals in your small intestine break them down into single sugar molecules called glucose. Next, the cells lining your small intestine absorb the glucose, which passes into the bloodstream. When the blood reaches your pancreas, beta cells inside the pancreas detect the rising glucose levels. The beta cells release insulin into your bloodstream to reduce glucose levels and to keep your blood glucose in a healthy range. Most cells of the body have certain receptors on their surface that bind to the circulating insulin. Insulin acts like a key in a lock to open up the cell so that the circulating glucose can get inside the cell. Now, your cell can use the glucose to produce the energy it needs to function properly. If you have type 1 diabetes, you...

Diabetes and Its Types, Signs and Symptoms Welcome to our health blog. We're going to explain how your body processes the food you eat in order to provide all your body cells with the energy they need, and also what happens when you have diabetes and this system doesn't work properly? When you eat food that contains carbohydrate, it's broken down in the stomach and digestive system into glucose, which is a type of sugar. We need glucose from food because that's what gives us energy. Carbohydrate containing foods are things like starchy foods, sugary foods, milk, and some dairy products and fruit. This glucose then moves into the bloodstream and the body detect that the blood glucose level is rising. In response to that the pancreas, which is a little gland that sits just underneath the stomach, starts to release a hormone called insulin. It’s insulin that helps our body get the energy from the food we eat. The blood stream then takes the glucose and the insulin to ever...

  What is Asthma and Its Types: Welcome to our health blog. We are going to talk about asthma and specifically the causes the pathophysiology diagnosis and treatment of this very common disease. I want to kind of show you what's going on at the bronchial level. You remember if you look at our pulmonary function test discussion we looked at a flow volume loop and what happens when you blow out air very quickly? Your forced expiratory volume or flow rate goes up very quickly and then comes down and then you take a inhalation in and thus obstruction that occurs in asthma and in COPD occurs. In this area here which is the small airways and as that obstruction gets worse, you see a decrement in the flow rates especially later on in blowing out. The point here I want to make is that these are the small airways so this is where asthma is occurring. It’s obstruction of these small airways not the large ones but the small ones. You've got the airway and this is a very simplified ...
