RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that typically affects the small joints in your hands and feet. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. An autoimmune disorder. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. In addition to causing joint problems. Rheumatoid arthritis sometimes can affect other organs of the body such as the skin, eyes, lungs and blood vessels.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Morning stiffness that may last for hours.
Firm bumps of tissue under the skin on your arms (rheumatoid nodules).

As the disease progresses, symptoms often spread to the wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips and shoulders. In most cases, symptoms occur in the same joints on both sides of your body.

impaired renal function.
Patient not responding to one NSAID may still show a good response to another.
Topical applications—containing salicylates, capsaicin, nicotinates, menthol,camphor and NSAIDs in various combinations may provide symptomatic relief.
Begin DMARD early in the disease. Prediction of response to a particular disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) is not possible. It takes 4-6 weeks to show its effect.
Tab Methotrexate 7.5 to 15 mg every week as single dose.

Understanding Urinary Tract infections (UTIs)

13/07/2022

The flu is a respiratory infection that affects many people each year. Anyone can get the virus, which can cause mild to severe symptoms.

Common symptoms of the flu include:

fever, body aches, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, fatigue

These symptoms typically improve in about a week, with some people fully recovering without complications.

But in older adults whose immune systems might be weaker, the flu can be dangerous. The risk of flu-related complications like pneumonia is higher in older adults.

It’s also even more important to take precautions this year, since COVID-19 is still a factor.

Here’s a look at practical ways to keep yourself safe during this doubly dangerous flu season.

1. Avoid large crowds

The flu can spread quickly in confined spaces. This includes schools, workplaces, nursing homes, and assisted-living facilities.

If you have a weaker immune system, wear a face mask whenever you’re in a public place during flu season.

2. Wash your hands regularly

Because the flu virus can live on hard surfaces, get into a habit of regularly washing your hands. This is especially important before preparing food and eating. Also, you should always wash your hands after using the bathroom.

Strengthening your immune system is another way to protect yourself against the flu. A strong immune system helps your body fight off infections. And if you do become sick, a strong immune system helps reduce the severity of symptoms

Visit the doctor if flu symptoms arise

Because the flu can be dangerous for people over the age of 65, visit your doctor if you develop any symptoms of the flu.

Symptoms to watch for include:

fever, coughing, sore throat, body aches, headache, tiredness, runny or stuffed-up nose.
