Diarree - Wat is het?

Diarree is dunne, waterige ontlasting die vaker komt dan u gewend bent. Meestal gaat diarree na een of twee dagen vanzelf over, maar soms duurt het langer. Diarree kan samengaan met misselijkheid en overgeven, soms ook met koorts. Waardoor komt het? Diarree wordt meestal veroorzaakt door virussen of bacteriën. Deze komen het lichaam binnen door inslikken van besmet water of besmet voedsel. U kunt ook besmet raken door contact met iemand anders die diarree heeft. De virussen of bacteriën veroorzaken een ontsteking van de darmwand. De darmwand kan dan minder vocht opnemen. Daardoor wordt de ontlasting dun. Kan het kwaad? Het is vervelend om diarree te hebben, maar het kan meestal geen kwaad. Wel verliest u veel vocht als u diarree heeft, zeker als u ook nog moet overgeven of koorts heeft. Als iemand te veel vocht verliest, kan het lichaam uitdrogen. Dat kan gevaarlijk zijn. Daarom moet u altijd extra drinken als u diarree heeft.Vooral baby's en ...

Disaster of Meat Consumption

The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), commissioned by Minister Cramer of the Environment run a study of consumption of energy and food much more efficiently. The meat consumption imposes a significant drain on the global agricultural land. Some 80 percent of which is used for only 15 percent of the calories in our food production. Especially cattle are relatively inefficient food factories. A switch to a daily diet of 10 grams of beef, pork 10 grams, 47 grams and 23 grams of chicken eggs and fish would need to land in half. Also, this diet 20 to 30 percent of the GHG reductions necessary to bring the global warming be limited to 2 degrees. It is the first time that these estimates lead to a policy recommendation. That the (rich) man can not escape behavior changes to the earth to keep viable, says UN climate negotiator Yvo de Boer. "You must ask fundamental questions about our consumption."

Another reason why men like curves

Lawson graduated from Oxford before finding fame in the kitchen Nigella Lawson's voluptuous curves have given her a legion of male admirers, but a new academic study suggests that her appeal, and that of other curvy women, is based on more than the purely physical. It is already known that curvaceous women live longer and that men find them more attractive but the new research suggests that they are also cleverer. The study, to be published this week, shows that men who admire women with hourglass figures do so because they are more intelligent and therefore produce more intelligent children than waif-like women or those of "apple-shaped" proportions. The case of Lawson appears to bear out the findings. Possessing perhaps Britain's most famous hourglass figure, the cookery presenter is also an Oxford graduate. Rachel Weisz, the naturally curvy Oscar-winning actress, completed an English degree at Cambridge before she headed for Hollywood. Th...

Flu Shot Protects Against Only 3 Flu Viruses

Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Image by AJC1 via Flickr Flu shots that are given each year during the flu season, carries vaccination for only three influenza viruses; 1) influenza A (H3N2) virus, 2) seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus, and 3) influenza B virus. There is a chance that you have prevention against one of the illnesses. In the United States, federal health officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are in charge of selecting which viruses to include in seasonal flu vaccine, a process that is based on international "surveillance-based forecasts about what viruses are most likely to cause illness in the coming season." U.S. health officials works with World Health Organization (WHO) health officials to come up with projectons about which three type A or type B infuenza viruses should be included in seasonal influenza vaccine each year. In other words, it's an educated guess. As you might suspect, getting a "good ma...

Most Flu-Like Illness is NOT Influenza

During the "flu season," doctors and patients alike often attribute respiratory illness to "the flu" or influenza viruses when they most of the time flu-like symtpoms are actually associated with other types of viruses and bacteria. The only way to know for sure what type of virus or bacteria is causing flu-ike symptoms is to have it lab confirmed. The seasonal influenza vaccine only contains three strains of type A or type B influenza, which U.S. and WHO health officials select each year as the most likely influenza strains that will circulate around the world. There are many influenza strains and most cases of flu-like illness that occur in the U.S. during a typical flu season are not associated with type A or type B influenza strains. So, it is important to remember that, when you feel like you have the "flu," you can't automatically assume that your flu symptoms are caused by type A or type B influenza strains included in the season...

The Media Manipulates Flu Vaccine Facts

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine as "the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses."

Diagnostic Workup Before Diagnosing Colic

Diagnostic Workup Before Diagnosing Colic has been published by Carin E. Reust, MD, Center for Family Medicine Science, University of Missouri, Department of Family and Community Medicine, MA303 Health Sciences Center, Columbia, MO 65212 and Robert L. Blake, Jr, MD, Columbia, Arch Fam Med. 2000;9:282-283. The research relates to what diagnostic workup is appropriate before making the diagnosis of colic? The objectives of the research are as follows: A MEDLINE search (1966-present) was performed using the key word "colic," with limits to diagnosis, English language, and age group (newborn infants aged 0-1 month and infants aged 1-23 months). Seventeen articles were identified, of which 3 were specific for diagnosis. Two of these articles involved the diagnostic utility of acoustic analysis of crying, and 1 involved the use of a symptom diary. A similar strategy was used on MEDLINE (1996-present) to review infantile gastroesophageal reflux (GER).

Soothing a Crying Baby

Let's face it, caring for a baby is hard work. Your little bundle of joy might cry more than you ever expected. Listening to a crying baby can be frustrating, especially when it never seems to end. As a parent or caregiver, you have limited energy, patience and tolerance. It's common to feel overwhelmed, helpless and possibly even angry by the constant demands of the baby. How to Calm a Crying Baby Check physical needs first: Is the baby hungry? Thirsty? Need to be burped? Too hot or cold? Diaper dirty? Check for signs of illness or fever. If you think the baby may be sick seek medical attention immediately.  Rock the baby, hold the baby close, or walk with the baby.  Stand up, hold the baby close, and repeatedly bend at your knees.  Sing or talk to the baby in a soothing voice.  Gently rub or stroke the baby's back, chest, or tummy.  Offer a pacifier or try to distract the baby with a rattle or toy.  Swaddle the baby with a soft blanket.  Ta...

GERD-TUMS Pepcid Prilosec Prevacid Nexium

GERD-TUMS Pepcid Prilosec Prevacid Nexium Speed is what makes TUMS different from other heartburn treatments, both over-the-counter products and prescription medicines. And that means feeling better faster when heartburn strikes. TUMS dissolves easily, travels quickly, and tackles heartburn at the source — neutralizing stomach acid right away. In contrast, some heartburn medications enter the bloodstream and must be processed by the body before they can begin to work. Several hours or days may pass before they take full effect to fight your heartburn. Acid reducers are heartburn medications that decrease the amount of acid produced by the stomach. H2 blockers (or H2 receptor antagonists) like Pepcid AC® lower the stomach’s acid production. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Prilosec OTC®, Prevacid® and Nexium® slow down the stomach cells that produce acid.

Help GOP Finding Cracks In Health Care Law

Image via Wikipedia President Obama's health care law includes a new entitlement about disabled. The Obama administration is that CLASS for Community Living Assistance Services and Supports must be eliminate. The administration is justifying the elimination due to the reason that it would wouldn't be sustainable because of its cost. After much criticism from the leftists, the White House made it clear that the CLASS program would not be eliminated completely. Premiums was being collected for years before any benefits would be paid and counting the money as savings and the program made the health care law looker cheaper than it really is. Republicans argue. "A lot of the rest of the deficit reduction is smoke and mirrors, I believe, and I think it's pretty easy to show," Fox News contributor Bill Kristol said on "Fox News Sunday." "I think the Republicans now need to say this is just the tip of the iceberg. We need to repeal Obamacare.” The...

Some 20 million Americans suffer from stomach ulcers. In addition to causing severe stomach pain, ulcers may also puncture of the stomach wall and hence bleeding. Contrary to conventional belief that ulcers are caused by stress or spicy foods. Rather it is caused due to the stomach infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori.
