In 1847, a doctor performed an amputation in 25 seconds, operating so quickly that he accidentally amputated his assistant's fingers as well. Both later died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality rate.

The magic of botox.

Botox shots block certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of these injections is to relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines and other facial wrinkles. Botox injections also are used to ease symptoms of some health conditions.

*S*X HEADACHES*

DEFINITION
S*x headaches are brought on by s*xual activity — especially an or**sm. You may notice a dull ache in your head and neck that builds up as s*xual excitement increases. Or, more commonly, you may experience a sudden, severe headache just before or during or**sm.

Most s*x headaches are nothing to worry about. But some can be a sign of something serious, such as problems with the blood vessels that feed your brain.

SYMPTOMS
There are two types of s*x headaches:

* A dull ache in the head and neck that intensifies as s*xual excitement increases
* A sudden, severe, throbbing headache that occurs just before or at the moment of or**sm

In some people, both types of headaches are combined.

Most s*x headaches last at least several minutes. Others may linger for hours or even two to three days.

Many people who have s*x headaches will experience them in clusters over a few months, and then they may go for a year or more without having any s*x headaches. Up to half of all people with s*x headaches experience them over the course of about six months. Some people may only have one attack during their lives.

*When to see a doctor*

S*x headaches aren't usually a cause for concern. But consult your doctor right away if you experience a headache during s*xual activity — especially if it begins abruptly or it's your first headache of this type.

CAUSES
Any type of s*xual activity that leads to or**sm can trigger s*x headaches.

Abrupt-onset and slow-to-build s*x headaches can be primary headache disorders not associated with any underlying condition. S*x headaches that come on suddenly are more likely to be associated with:

* A widening or bubble in the wall of an artery inside your head (intracranial aneurysm)
* An abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain (arteriovenous malformation) that bleeds into the spinal fluid-filled space in and around the brain
* Bleeding into the wall of an artery leading to the brain (dissection)
* Stroke
* Coronary artery disease
* Use of some medications, such as birth control pills
* Inflammation from certain infections

S*x headaches associated with loss of consciousness, vomiting, stiff neck, other neurological symptoms and severe pain lasting more than 24 hours are more likely to be due to an underlying cause.

TREATMENTS AND DRUGS
In some cases, your first s*x headache may also be your only one. Some s*x headaches improve rapidly, so the pain is gone before any pain reliever can work.

*Preventive medications*

If you have a history of s*x headaches and there's no underlying cause, your doctor may recommend that you take preventive medications regularly. These may include:

* Daily medications. Beta blockers, for example, propranolol (Inderal, Innopran XL) or metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL) — which are used to treat high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and migraines — may be taken daily to prevent s*x headaches. They're recommended only if you have frequent or prolonged attacks.

* Occasional medications. Indomethacin (Indocin, Tivorbex), an anti-inflammatory, or one of the triptans, a class of anti-migraine medications, can be taken an hour before s*x to prevent headaches. https://www.facebook.com/moyoclinic

You're probably wondering how a substance that's intended to build bigger muscles causes balls to shrink. The simplest explanation is that when steroids are introduced to the human body, testosterone levels are artificially increased, throwing the body's hormone cycle out of whack. https://www.facebook.com/moyoclinic

*ADDISON'S DISEASE*

Addison's disease is a disorder that occurs when your body produces insufficient amounts of certain hormones produced by your adrenal glands. In Addison's disease, your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and often insufficient levels of aldosterone as well.

Also called adrenal insufficiency, Addison's disease occurs in all age groups and affects both s*xes. Addison's disease can be life-threatening.

Treatment for Addison's disease involves taking hormones to replace the insufficient amounts being made by your adrenal glands, in order to mimic the beneficial effects produced by your naturally made hormones.

SYMPTOMS
Addison's disease symptoms usually develop slowly, often over several months, and may include:

1. Muscle weakness and fatigue
2. Weight loss and decreased appetite
3. Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation)
4. Low blood pressure, even fainting
5. Salt craving
6. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
7. Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting
8. Muscle or joint pains
9. Irritability
10. Depression
11. Body hair loss or s*xual dysfunction in women

TREATMENTS AND DRUGS

All treatment for Addison's disease involves hormone replacement therapy to correct the levels of steroid hormones your body isn't producing. Some options for treatment include:

1. Oral corticosteroids. Your doctor may prescribe fludrocortisone to replace aldosterone. Hydrocortisone (Cortef), prednisone or cortisone acetate may be used to replace cortisol.

2. Corticosteroid injections. If you're ill with vomiting and can't retain oral medications, injections may be needed.
3. Androgen replacement therapy. To treat androgen deficiency in women, dehydroepiandrosterone can be prescribed. Some studies suggest that this therapy may improve overall sense of well-being, libido and s*xual satisfaction. https://www.facebook.com/moyoclinic

Anabolic Steroids.

Pastors, Musicians, Sportsmen And Bodybuilders. Stay away from these drugs before STROKES kill you

Cardiovascular System

Steroid use has been associated with high blood pressure; decreased function of the heart’s ventricles; and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, artery damage, and strokes, even in athletes younger than. Steroids contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease partly by increasing the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and decreasing the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). High LDL and low HDL levels increase the risk of atherosclerosis, a condition in which fatty substances are deposited inside arteries and disrupt blood flow. If blood is prevented from reaching the heart or brain, the result can be a heart attack or stroke, respectively. Steroids also increase the risk that blood clots will form in blood vessels, potentially disrupting blood flow and damaging the heart muscle, so that it does not pump blood effectively. source: https://www.facebook.com/moyoclinic

The Story Of Ebola.

30/12/2022

Cholera

Cholera is one of the most severe diseases of the intestines. It is a serious affliction, involving the lower part of the small bowel. It is a waterborne disease and is common during the monsoons. The mortality rate for this disease has been quite high. The disease strikes suddenly and fills the intestinal canal with bacilli which die rapidly and leave the person quickly , alive or dead. It comes as a fell epidemic and creates havoc but subsides quickly in the locality. Those who are susceptible to it are carried away and those who are left alive are immuned to it. Thus after an epidemic in a non-epidemic area, there is no re-visitation in the locality for two or three years. The original home of cholera is Bengal in India. It spread from this country during the 19th century in a series of epidemics along the trade routes. It reached Japan and also Astrakhan, in Russian, in 1817. The disease spread to Moscow in 1826, Berlin in 1831 and London and Paris in 1832. Subsequently, it spread to Canada and several countries in Europe. However, by 1895, cholera had disappeared from Europe.

Symptoms

Cholera appears in three stages. In the first stage, the patient suffers from mild diarrhoea and vomiting, which worsens rapidly. The motions become watery, containing no feacal matter. The patient feels severe cramps in the muscles of the abdomen and limbs, resulting from lack of salts. The temperature rises but the skin is generally cold and blue and the pulse is weak. Taking water to quench thirst dilutes the body salt still further, and makes the cramps worse. In the second stage of collapse, the body becomes colder, the skin dry, wrinkled and purple. Voice becomes weak and husky while the urine looks dark and formation is less, or altogether absent. It is in this ‘algid’ stage that the patient may die, as early as 24 hours after the onset of the symptoms. In the third stage,recovery follows in favourable cases. All the changes seem to reverse themselves, the fluid loss decreases and there is improvment in the general condition. Even at this stage, a relapse may occur or the patient may sink into a condition resembling typhoid fever. The condition may deteriorate over a period of two or three weeks. During this stage of reaction, the temperature may rise and the patient may be in danger from penumonia.

Causes

Cholera is caused by a short, curved, rod-shaped germ known as vibrio cholera. This germ produces a powerful poison or endotoxin. It is spread by flies and water contaminated by the germs. The real cause of disease , however, is the toxic and devitalized condition of the system brought about by incorrect feeding habits and faulty style of living. This condition facilitates invasion of cholera germs.

Treatment

The treatment should in the beginning aim at combating the loss of fluids and salts from the body. To allay thirst, water, soda water or green coconut water should be given for sipping although this may be thrown out by vomiting. Therefore, only small quantities of water should be given repeatedly, as these may remain for sometime within the stomach and stay of every one minutes means some absorption. Ice may be given for sucking. This will reduce internal temperature and restrict the tendency to vomit. Intravenous infusions ofsaline solution should be given to compensate for the loss of fluids and salts from the body. The patient may require five litres or more a day. Care should, however, be taken to avoid waterlogging the patient. Potassium may be added to the infused fluid. Re**al saline may sometimes prove useful for adults. Normally, half a litre of saline , with 30 grams of glucose, should be given per re**um every four hours until urine is passed freely.

After the acute stage of cholera is over, the patient may be given green coconut water andbarley water in very thin form. When the stools begin to form, he should be given butter-milk. Ashe progresses towards recovery, rice softened to semi-solid form mixed with curd, may be given.The patient should not be given solid food till he has fully recovered. Liquid and bland foods,which the patient can ingest without endangering a reoccurrence of the malady, are best.Lemon, onion, green chillies, vinegar and mint should be included in the daily diet during anepidemic of cholera.

Home Remedies

Certain home remedies have been found beneficial in the treatment ofcholera. The foremostamong these is the use of lemon ( bara nimbu). The juice ofthis fruit can kill cholera bacilli withina short time. It is also a very effective and reliable preventive food item against cholera duringthe epidemic. It can be taken in the form of sweetened or salted beverages for this purpose.Taking of lemon with food as daily routine can also prevent cholera.The root bark of guava (amrud) is another valuable remedy. It is rich in tannis and can besuccessfully employed in the form of concentrated decoction in cholera. It will arrest vomitingand symptoms of diarrhoea.According to Culpepper, an eminent nutritionist for children and young people, nothing is betterto purge cholera than the leaves and flowers of peach (arhu). They should be taken in the formof syrup or conserve. The leaves of drumstick (sanjana) tree are also useful in treatment of thisdisease. A teaspoon of fresh leaf-juice, mixed with honey and a glass of tender coconut water,can be given two or three times as a herbal medicine in the treatment of cholera.Onion is very useful in cholera. About 30 grams of this vegetable and seven black peppersshould be finely pounded in a pestle and given to the patient. It allays thirst and restlessness andthe patient feels better. The fresh juice of bitter gourd (karela) is another effective medicine inthe early stages of cholera.Two teaspoons of this juice, mixed with an equal quantity of white onion juice and a teaspoon oflime juice, should be given Cholera can be controlled only by rigid purification of water suppliesand proper disposal of human wastes. In case of the slightest doubt about the contamination ofthe water, it must be boiled before use, for drinking and cooking purposes. All foodstuffs must bekept covered and vegetables and fruits washed with a solution of potassium permanganatebefore consumption. Other precautions against this disease include avoiding all uncookedvegetables, thorough washing of hands by all those who handle food, and elimination of allcontacts with the disease.
