HEALTH TIPS FOR TODAY " BED SORE" KNOWN AS "EGBO ADAJINA" IN YORUBA
DEFINITION
Bedsores — also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers — are injuries to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. Bedsores most often develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as the heels, ankles, hips and tailbone.

Bedsores can develop quickly and are often difficult to treat.

SYMPTOMS
Bedsores fall into one of four stages based on their severity.

Stage I
The beginning stage of a pressure sore has the following characteristics:

The skin is not broken.
The skin appears red on people with lighter skin color, and the skin doesn't briefly lighten (blanch) when touched.
On people with darker skin, the skin may show discoloration, and it doesn't blanch when touched.
The site may be tender, painful, firm, soft, warm or cool compared with the surrounding skin.

Stage II

The outer layer of skin (epidermis) and part of the underlying layer of skin (dermis) is damaged or lost.
The wound may be shallow and pinkish or red.
The wound may look like a fluid-filled blister or a ruptured blister.

Stage III
The ulcer is a deep wound,
the loss of skin usually exposes some fat.
The ulcer looks crater-like.
The bottom of the wound may have some yellowish dead tissue.
The damage may extend beyond the primary wound below layers of healthy skin.

Stage IV

ulcer shows large-scale loss of tissue,
the wound may expose muscle, bone or tendons.
The bottom of the wound likely contains dead tissue that's yellowish or dark and crusty.
The damage often extends beyond the primary wound below layers of healthy skin.
Unstageable
A pressure ulcer is considered unstageable if its surface is covered with yellow, brown, black or dead tissue. It’s not possible to see how deep the wound is.

Deep tissue injury
A deep tissue injury may have the following characteristics:

The skin is purple or maroon but the skin is not broken.
A blood-filled blister is present.
The area is painful, firm or mushy.
The area is warm or cool compared with the surrounding skin.
In people with darker skin, a shiny patch or a change in skin tone may develop.

HEALTH TIPS OF THE DAY
"BREAST CANCER"
DEFINITION
Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts.

After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women.

Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women.

Substantial support for breast cancer awareness and research funding has helped improve the screening and diagnosis and advances in the treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths steadily has been declining, which is largely due to a number of factors such as earlier detection, a new personalized approach to treatment and a better understanding of the disease.

SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of breast cancer may include:

A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue
Bloody discharge from the ni**le
Change in the size, shape or appearance of a breast
Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling
A newly inverted ni**le
Peeling, scaling or flaking of the pigmented area of skin surrounding the ni**le (ar**la) or breast skin
Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange
When to see a doctor
If you find a lump or other change in your breast — even if a recent mammogram was normal — make an appointment with your doctor for prompt evaluation.

CAUSES
It's not clear what causes breast cancer.

Breast cancer occurs when some breast cells begin growing abnormally. These cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells do and continue to accumulate, forming a lump or mass. The cells may spread (metastasize) through your breast to your lymph nodes or to other parts of your body.

Breast cancer most often begins with cells in the milk-producing ducts (invasive ductal carcinoma). Breast cancer may also begin in the glandular tissue called lobules (invasive lobular carcinoma) or in other cells or tissue within the breast.

Researchers have identified hormonal, lifestyle and environmental factors that may increase your risk of breast cancer. But it's not clear why some people who have no risk factors develop cancer, yet other people with risk factors never do. It's likely that breast cancer is caused by a complex interaction of your genetic makeup and your environment.

HEALTH TIPS OF THE DAY "DIABETES"
DEFINITION
Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It's also your brain's main source of fuel.

If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much glucose in your blood, although the causes may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems.

Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes — when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy but may resolve after the baby is delivered.

SYMPTOMS
Diabetes symptoms vary depending on how much your blood sugar is elevated. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, may not experience symptoms initially. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe.

Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are:

Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Extreme hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough available insulin)
Fatigue
Irritability
Blurred vision
Slow-healing sores
Frequent infections, such as gums or skin infections and vaginal infections
Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence. Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, can develop at any age, though it's more common in people older than 40.

When to see a doctor
If you suspect you or your child may have diabetes. If you notice any possible diabetes symptoms, contact your doctor. The earlier the condition is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin.
If you've already been diagnosed with diabetes. After you receive your diagnosis, you'll need close medical follow-up until your blood sugar levels stabilize.
CAUSES
To understand diabetes, first you must understand how glucose is normally processed in the body.
