ULCERS
(Peptic or Stomach—PUD)

1. What is the cause if this illness?
The cause of a Peptic Ulcer can be from a couple of things. One of the things that can cause an ulcer is drugs like Aspirin, or other NSAIDs. Not only can these drugs cause an ulcer, they can very well worsen it. Ulcers are associated with Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the acidic environment of the stomach. There is a very small amount, 5% give or take, of an ulcer being caused by a “malignant” (severe and progressively worsening disease, mostly associated with cancer) tumor, so multiple biopsies are needed to make sure. Although in the past, it was said that tobacco smoking, blood group and spices were suspected to cause ulcers, they actually have little to do with the development of peptic ulcers.

2. How does this illness affect the body? What are the symptoms?
The symptoms and affects of a peptic ulcer are abdominal pain, bloating and abdominal fullness, waterbrash, nausea and exceeded amounts of vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, “Melena” (tarry, foul-smelling feces) and “Hematemesis” (vomiting of blood). A history of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and use of certain forms of medication can raise the suspicion for peptic ulcer. Medicines associated with peptic ulcer include NSAID (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) that inhibit cyclooxygenase, and most glucocorticoids (e.g. dexamethasone and prednisolone).

3. What is the treatment for this illness?
For younger patients with ulcer-like symptons, doctors treat them with antacids or H2 antagonists, before EGD is undertaken. Bismuth compounds might reduce or clear organisms. As for the patients who are taking NSAIDs, they may also get a prostaglandin analogue, or “Misoprostol”. Treatment of H. pylori usually clears the infection, relief of symptoms and eventual healing the ulcer. Recurrence of infection does happen, in which case retreatment may be required, if necessary with other antibiotics. Since the widespread use of PPI's in the 1990s, surgical procedures, like "highly selective vagotomy", for uncomplicated peptic ulcers became obsolete. Perforated peptic ulcer is a surgical emergency and requires surgical repair of the perforation. Most bleeding ulcers require endoscopy urgently to stop bleeding with cautery or injection

4. What other interesting facts did you learn?
I also learned that John Lykoudis, a general practitioner in Greece, treated patients for peptic ulcer disease with antibiotics, beginning in 1958, long before it was commonly recognized that bacteria were a dominant cause for the disease. I also learned that, in 1982, two Austrailian scientists by the names of J. Robin Warren and Barry J. Marshall redicovered H. pylori as a causative factor for ulcers.[9] In their original paper, Warren and Marshall contended that most stomach ulcers and gastritis were caused by colonization with this bacterium, not by stress or spicy food as had been assumed before.
 
LUNG CANCER

1. What is the cause if this illness?

There are many causes of Lung Cancer. Some being smoking (particularly of cigarettes), radon gas, Asbestos, and viruses, those being the main causes. Smoking is, by far, the main cause of Lung Cancer. Among male smokers, the lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is 17.2%. Among female smokers, the risk is 11.6%, whereas in non-smokers, the rates are 1.3% in men and 1.4% in women. Asbestos can cause a variety of lung diseases, including lung cancer. There is a synergistic effect between tobacco smoking and asbestos in the formation of lung cancer. In the UK, asbestos accounts for 2–3% of male lung cancer deaths. Asbestos can also cause cancer of the pleura, called mesothelioma (which is different from lung cancer). Viruses, however, have more of a chance of giving animals lung cancer, compared to humans. Radon Gas is the broken-down form of radiation, which causes a bundle of diseases, Lung Cancer, obviously, being one of them.

2. How does this illness affect the body? What are the symptoms?

The symptoms and affects of Lung Cancer are shortness of breath (e.g. dyspnea), coughing up blood (e.g. hemoptysis), chrnic coughing, wheezing, chest pain, abdominal pain, hoarse voice (e.g. dysphonia) and diffuclulty swallowing (e.g. dysphagia) There is also clubbing of the fingernails, but it’s quite uncommon. If the cancer grows in the airway, it may obstruct the flow, leading to breathing difficulties, which, overtime, may lead to pneumonia.
Due to the fact that Lung Cancer has a rich blood supply, blood may be coughed up. (The surface of the cancer may be fragile, leading to bleeding from the cancer into the airway.)




3. What is the treatment for this illness?
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the cancer's specific cell type, how far it has spread, and the patient's performance status. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Before surgery is done, a CT scan and/or a PET are used to see if the cancer is to the point where it cannot be surgically cured. Blood tests and spirometry are also necessary. The surgery itself can vary from the removal from part of a lobe to the whole lung. Small cell lung carcinoma is treated primarily with chemotherapy, if surgery cannot be performed. Primary chemotherapy is also given in metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma.

4. What other interesting facts did you learn?
I learned that Europe and North America have the highest amounts of developed cases and deaths. Lung Cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with a 1.35 million new cases per year and 1.18 million deaths.
 
ANEMIA


1. What is the cause if this illness?

Anemia is something people are born with, as well as the most common blood disorder—it’s the lack or red blood cells and/or hemogoblin. It’s caused by the lack of oxygen transferred to the tissues, causing tissue hypoxia. Since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences. Hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells) has to be present to ensure adequate oxygenation of all tissues and organs. The three main classes of anemia include excessive blood loss (acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss), excessive blood cell destruction (hemolysis) or deficient red blood cell production (ineffective hematopoiesis). In menstruating women, dietary iron deficiency is a common cause of deficient red blood cell production.

2. How does this illness affect the body? What are the symptoms?
For the most part, people are unaware that they have anemia, symptoms are vague. For the most part, anemia leads to a weakened feeling, or general fatigue. In more serious cases, there are several reports of dyspnea on exertion. In extremely severe cases, anemia makes the body increase the cardiac output, leading to heart failure. Pallor is often a sign of moderate or severe anemia, but it’s not always apparent. Other useful signs are cheilosis and kiolonychia. The the consumption of non-food such as dirt, paper, wax, grass and hair, may be a symptom of iron deficiency, although it occurs often in those who have normal levels of hemoglobin. Behavioral distubances may even surface as an attention deficit disorder.



3. What is the treatment for this illness?

I don’t believe there is a treatment.

4. What other interesting facts did you learn?
The only thing I learned, other than what I have written above, is that my friend has a mild case of anemia. 

YES!!!!!

How be you
I missed you!!!
-huggles-

-foams at the mouth-

HANNAH I LUFF YEWWWWWWW.

HANNAH!!!!!! you're back!!!!!!!!!!
