85. Crohn's Disease Or Ulcerative Colitis How to Choose a Doctor and Hospital. If You Have Crohn's disease or UlcerativeColitis. Hospitals and doctors are not all alike . Inflammatory Bowel disease. http://www.medhelp.org/ccf/ibdqioh.htm

How to Choose a Doctor and Hospital A surgeon who performs a complex procedure often, for example, has better success with it than a surgeon who does the same procedure only occasionally. The complication rate and the death rate for the same procedure may be many times higher at one hospital than another. Clearly the doctor and hospital that you choose have a direct impact on how well you do - especially when you need treatment for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. These two inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affect more than 2 million Americans. An estimated 200,000 children under the age of 16 have IBD. Although there is currently no medical cure for these diseases, people with IBD can now enjoy more normal lives thanks to innovative treatments available at some medical centers. However, this is a complex disease that is not easily diagnosed or readily controlled by medications. It may require many operations, each more difficult than the last because of adhesions and obstructions that are caused by scar tissue from the earlier operation. Successful treatment, therefore, requires a medical team with expertise in treating the most difficult cases, and one that has experience with the full range of medical and surgical treatment options available. Choosing a doctor and a hospital for your treatment is one of the most important decisions of your life. No one has more at stake than you.

87. New Information On HRT: Risks Outweigh Benefits to review your family history of such conditions as breast cancer, endometrial cancer,heart attacks, blood clots, colorectoal cancer and coronary heart disease http://www.hrt-debate.com/

Experts estimate that 13.5 million women in the United States take hormones during and after menopause. Of those, almost 8 million take estrogen only, while about 6 million take a combination of estrogen and progestin. Progestin has been used to counterbalance one of the known harmful effects of estrogen thought to be responsible for endometrial cancer. That is, until the news broke in July of 2002. Two major studies revealed that the health risks of taking hormone replacements were now known to outweigh the benefits. One study, performed by the NIH Women's Health Initiative, also discovered that the risk of endometrial cancer was unaffected by hormone replacement therapy (HRT). No one knows for sure how many women have abandoned hormone replacement prescribed to mitigate the discomfort of menopause. Or to stave off osteoporosis. Or to reduce their risk of various heart conditions and cancers. What's a Woman To Do? If you're confused about the research findings and are having trouble deciding what to do about your own health, follow these important steps: Find out all that you can about estrogen and other hormones. Read brochures and web sites published by reputable agencies.

90. Lowering Blood Pressure Through A Low Sodium Diet Or High Blood Pressure Diet Neither of the two actually causes hypertension, but both contribute to heartdisease, which can aggravate hypertension, which makes heart disease worse. http://www.living-with-hypertension.com/html/diet.php3

Lowering Blood Pressure Through a Low Sodium Diet A high blood pressure diet isn't really a diet. Rather, it's learning how to avoid certain types of food that contribute to hypertension. Of course, as many of the foods you'll be avoiding cause weight gain, you might be able to lose weight while lowering blood pressure. Salty Stories The human body needs less than a teaspoon of salt per day. The average American consumes anywhere between 2 to 4 teaspoons of salt per day—much of it hidden in processed or pre-packaged food. Excessive amounts of sodium in our diets accounts for many increases in blood pressure, and a low sodium diet is often the first suggestion doctors make when a patient has high blood pressure. We get most of our sodium through sodium chloride—good old table salt. Processed food is another source of sodium, and should be avoided if you're following a high blood pressure diet. If you're wondering how to start a low sodium diet, many cookbooks are especially designed for people who need to restrict their salt intake. You can find low sodium recipes on-line, at the library, or through your local diabetes association. Although this may look like a list of your favorite snack foods, it's also a list of foods to avoid if you suspect hypertension

93. Secondary Hypertension And The Difference Between Systolic And Diastolic Blood P Only 5% of patients have secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension hasa clearly identifiable cause, such as kidney disease, that generates the http://www.detecting-hypertension.com/html/environment.php3

Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure Your heart expands and contracts as it pumps, changing your blood pressure. When it beats, blood flows into your blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. This is called systolic blood pressure. When your heart relaxes between beats, the flow of blood lessens, and blood pressure drops. This is diastolic blood pressure. This is why your blood pressure is recorded as two numbers—the first, higher number is the systolic blood pressure, and the second, lower number is the diastolic blood pressure. Secondary Hypertension Up to 95% of hypertension patients suffer from what doctors call "essential hypertension." This means that no reason can be found for the rise in blood pressure. Only 5% of patients have "secondary hypertension." Secondary hypertension has a clearly identifiable cause, such as kidney disease, that generates the heightened blood pressure. Treating the primary cause successfully usually resolves secondary hypertension. Living-With-Hypertension explores ways to combat high blood pressure on a daily basis Environmental Considerations Essential hypertension is a complex problem because there is no obvious reason why the blood pressure is so high. Patients and doctors have to do some detective work to locate possible reasons for hypertension. Here are some of the more common contributors to high blood pressure:

94. Asthma Clinical Trials smoke and other irritants cause asthma attacks, the fact that asthma runs in familiessuggests that genetics are at least partially responsible for the disease http://www.asthma-clinical-trials.com/

Finding New Treatments For Asthma Until extensive research was done on asthma, parents watched helplessly as their asthmatic children, even infants, fought for breath, wheezing and coughing to the point of exhaustion. These heartbreaking scenes are, for many people, a thing of the past, thanks to the work done by researchers as they conduct asthma clinical trials. The new treatments that result from clinical trials are important to many asthmatics. Bronchodilators, corticosteroids and other important treatments and drugs have been carefully tested for their effect, feasibility, side effects and contraindications. Thorough testing through several stages is needed before the FDA allows a drug to be marketed. Even devices such as inhalers and nebulizers go through extensive testing to make sure they do what they're supposed to do. Asthma Research: A Complex Set of Issues While clinical trials are conducted to ascertain the feasibility of new drugs and treatments, some studies are designed to enlighten researchers as to how asthma begins. Medical researchers have noticed that the condition is triggered by allergies to dust mites, pollen, wood and cigarette smoke, pet dander and many other airborne allergens. However, asthmatics also report that a cold or any type of viral infection makes their symptoms much worse. Asthma research continues to study these issues in order to find ways to relieve or maybe some day find a cure. Advances in Asthma Study Until the 1980s, asthma was largely thought to be a narrowing of the airways; bronchodilators were used to relax muscles to allow freer breathing. However, further study revealed that asthma-related breathing difficulties were exacerbated by inflammation of the airways and that corticosteroids could reduce this inflammation. To this day, corticosteroids are the medicine of choice for many asthmatics.

99. Migraine Headache Causes And Triggers Migraine Headache Causes and Triggers Some researchers have suggestedthat migraines can be traced to an overactive nervous system. http://www.migraine-facts.com/html/causes.php3

Migraine Headache Causes and Triggers Some researchers have suggested that migraines can be traced to an overactive nervous system. When the nervous system detects certain substances, sensations or other triggers, it sets in motion a series of brain activity that leads to blood vessel dilation or contraction. Isolating your personal headache causes often requires patience and a fair bit of detective work. Almost any substance can prompt a migraine: stress, food additives such as MSG, preservatives such as nitrates or nitrites, muscle tension, even weather changes and smells can lead to migraines. Some people react to headache causes consistently; for others, the item that triggers a headache one day may not trigger it the next. Using a headache diary may help narrow down possible triggers. Food and Food Additives Foods and food additives are extremely common dietary triggers. While any food can conceivably be a trigger, some foods are more common triggers than others. Food additives such as MSG, artificial sweeteners, sulfites, nitrite and nitrates have all been listed as potential headache triggers. Common food triggers include: Dairy Products: milk, cream, ice cream, hard cheese, aged cheese

Bladder Surgery Presuming incontinence isn’t due to some other treatable cause, incontinence patients may choose to undergo bladder surgery after exhausting therapeutic and non-surgical medical options. A wide range of surgeries can repair or strengthen bladders, depending on the causes of the incontinence. A small percentage of bladder control problems may be associated with bladder cancer. Treatment may include removal of tumors, extensive bladder reconstruction, or even surgery to remove the bladder altogether. These surgeries are typically more involved and extensive than those procedures for incontinence. Below you’ll find a breakdown of types of incontinence bladder surgery and bladder cancer treatment. Surgical Bladder Repair Repairs for weakened or damaged bladders are the norm for most incontinence problems. Surgeries are available to remove blockages, raise fallen bladders, and even implant artificial sphincters. Bladder Surgery Description Possible Complications Retropubic Suspension This surgery is specifically for women. The bladder and urethra are raised in the pelvic area, bringing them back into the correct position. This prevents the bladder from pushing down onto the urethra. Urinary Tract Infections Infections in the surgical area Recurrence of incontinence Sling Procedure Usually performed on women. Either a synthetic material or abdominal tissue is used to help compress the urethral sphincter.
