Gastritis

You are designated with the term gastritis, to a series of alterations of inflammatory-degenerative type d mucous ela of the stomach. They are multiple and varied the lawsuits that can unchain a gastritis. So much so that, nowadays it is not considered as a specific illness of the stomach; of here that the generic name of gastritis goes always accompanied of the lawsuit or lawsuits that provoke it; for example, you are spoken of a gastritis in you ulcerate her of stomach, gastritis in the stomach cancer, gastritis in the alcoholics, among other.

They have become numerous classifications of the gastritis. The most practical classifies them in two big groups: acute gastritis and gastritis chronicles.

The acute gastritis can be exogenous or endogenous. The acute exogenous gastritis or gastritis irritativas are produced by any kinds of chemical, thermal irritant, mechanic or bacterial that can be ingested by the mouth. The most frequent are the foods and extremely warm or cold drinks, the pungent ones, the sauces, the spices type mustard, as well as the medicines with the help of salicylates, chlorides, iodides and bromides. As special cases, we should remember the corrosive gastritis, for ingestion of corrosive substances, as well as the allergic gastritis, of alimentary, bacterial or chemical origin, caused by hiper sensitization from the mucosa to these substances. As for the acute gastritis of endogenous type, you are to redial those that take place in the path of the septic processes in general, among those that it are necessary the gastritis that you/they are observed in the path of the scarlet fever, the measles, and the typhus-paratyphoid illnesses to highlight; they can, even, to take place hemorrhagic gastritis, like in the path of the yellow fever.

Now then, the gastritis chronicles, they are different. Amtes was believed that when the lawsuits irritativasz persisted during long time, the acute gastritis became chronic gastritis. This is in detuning with the clinical observation that demonstrate that many cases of chronic gastritis didn't enter antecedent irritativos that you/they explain to it. Currently he/she is enjoying great accept the hypothesis of an immunologic mechanism.

Legrado - The Legal Abort in the Women

Legrado is the interrupt of the pregnancy before the fetus is viable, that is to say, before he/she has possibilities to live. To legal goods it is considered abort to the interrupt of the pregnancy before the twenty-eight weeks, or to the expulsion of a fetus that possesses less than 600 grams, since, starting from these data up, it is considered premature childbirth. Really, in the practical land, all born fetus before the seventh month of pregnancy has scarce possibilities to live, without the use of incubators. The legrado is very frequent, being calculated that 25% of the gestations aborts, without they can be necessary with accuracy this statistical data for the concealment that habitually he/she is carried out of such a circumstance, although it is of supposing that the spontaneous abortion, discounting the criminal, he/she only takes place in 10% of the pregnancies.

The lawsuits of the criminal abort can be different: alterations of the egg in the moment of their formation; big fissures of the neck of the matrix; you position bad of the uterus; inflammations or infections of the same one; you cause general, as acute infections with fever (it seizes, diphtheria, fever of Malt, typhoid, etc.) or intoxications (alcohol, big smokers, professional toxics, etc.); nutritious and endocrine bugs; and finally, have an accident or violent traumatisms.

In the abort threat, the first symptom is generally the pain, localized in the lumbar area or in the first floor stomach. Simultaneously with him, or some days petty forfeitures (point out) appear later. This symptomatology can waive and to follow the pregnancy, or this can be discontinued raising the pain and the haemorrhage then, and taking place what we could call a childbirth in miniature, being ejected a generally dead embryo. The woman pregnant debit side to think of the possible abort threat, before all signal of blood appeared during the first three months of pregnancy, being in this unwarranted case the absolute rest in bed. The remainder of the treatment should be instituted by the obstetrician. Once the abort has taken place, it requires a rest of one week, if complications have not existed.

The two main complications of the abort are the abundant haemorrhage and the infection. Both have very good treatment at the present time. Also in certain cases, the abort is incomplete, not being ejected the whole egg, but rather inside the uterus they can be placenta remains that you/they will force the obstetrician to make a legrado (shaved ice) to clean this uterine impure cavity. It is mandatory to visit one another one month after the abort.

Puberty - Alterations in the Feminine Organism

To refer to this point inside the puberty, we will begin mentioning the classes of the same one.
The precocious puberty is the premature awakening of the gónadas (sexual glands, in this case ovaries), because of a bigger activity of the lobe previous of the hypophysis that he/she enters in feature before time. Other lawsuits that can produce it are the tumors of ovaries or of the adrenal glands. The precocious puberty shows as much in the sex characteristics as in the constitution. He/she appears the body hair pubiano prematurely, a generalized feminización takes place and also an increment of the bone growth.
Then the girl is more developed of those than you/he/she corresponds to her age, except in the psychic part whose development usually is not parallel to the somatic one and and it adjusts in general to the age.

On the other hand, the late puberty is characterized to have, as the term to her allocated the it indicates, a lag that takes place in the beginning of the operation gonadal, for decrease of the system activity diencefalohipofisario. They also exist other lawsuits, which can be for example, that of ovarian (ullage of ovaries) impotence, the ovarian (I develop bad of the gónadas, or Turner syndrome) disgenesia, among other.

It is considered that late when reached puberty exists the fifteen years, they don't show up symptoms of maturation of the sex characteristics. The late puberty talks medically to sexual feminine hormones, being obtained very good results.

And of here in more, diverse alterations of the genital feminine cycle can take place during the puberty like they are: the delay in the appearance of the first menstruation (primary amenorrhea), quite frequent; short cycles, inferior to the normal (polimenorreas) duration; or on the contrary, long cycles, of duration higher to the normal (oligomenorrheae) thing from five to six weeks and abnormal; excess of the quantity of menstrual (menorragia) secretion; you haemorrhage juvenile, without chronological relationship with the menstrual period.

It is considered that primary amenorrhea exists when after the eighteen years the menarche has not taken place. In the first place, this abnormality can be due to a family hereditary (endocrine illness) tare that would constitute a well-known antecedent in such a case. If the characteristic nuisances of the menstrual cycle exist it is signal that ovarian feature exists and then the gynecological exam can reveal malformations of the vagina or of the uterus. Also, in a general exam, they can be manifestations pluriglandulares (that is to say, of other glands), as dwarfism, dystrophy adiposogenital, etc..

The lawsuits of the other alterations can be very varied and in general., when dysfunctions of this class exist, it is absolutely necessary to consult to the gynecologist.

Retinal Detachment

The retina is the nervous membrane of the eye and the most important. Their intimate structure is not exactly same in its fullest extent. A petty part exists, in what we could name axis central, called stain or yellow blemish that it allows the perfect vision of the objects for its fine composition. Their alteration well for accident or for illness, it determines the visual central forfeiture.

Their lawsuits are numerous, but maybe the most frequent have a vascular origin, be general or local, that is to say reside in the same vessels of the retina or not. It can exist the occlusion of the central artery or a thrombosis of the vein, general ledger haemorrhages or pettier importance, phlebitis, alterations originated by the diabetes, the hypertension, the arteriosclerosis, etc. many times the sick person experiences a visual forfeiture, in a sudden or gradual way, according to the affection that it is. It owes recomendársele that still not being pains, be made recognize urgently for the expert.

The retina can also suffer degenerative, parasitic illnesses, tumors, etc.; that they usually carry always importance.

As it is that the retinal detachment is the most frequent affection and it is usually in the mind of many people, it is considered opportune to extend in the relationship of its lawsuits, symptoms and treatment. A good number of cases can cures with surgical medical treatment and what is more important, to be prevented by means of periodic visits to the expert. The treatments are usually effective and with a good prevention many times the feared abruption doesn't arrive.

Condition such as inflammatory alterations of the ciliary body, processes senile involutivos or degenerative, some vitreous mood disturbances, cranial traumatisms or violent efforts, certain coroides tumors, some possible acarid like the cisticerco and, certainly, the hereditary predisposition, they are lawsuits common of the retinal detachment, as he/she comes off of the test of all the oculists. The most frequent lawsuit that originates the retinal detachment resides in the myopia, visual quite communio bug. Of there the importance that all myopic fellow goes to the specialist physician regularly, not only as soon as it concerns to his optical correction that should be always for that, but also to prevent the possible retinal detachment appearance. The myopia like refractive bug is strange, the so much biggest percent constitutes it the nearsighted illness or myopia axil. All myopic person, although it already takes the appropriate eyeglasses and believe to be well, he/she should go to the oculist at least once a year. Many abruptions and other visual serious dysfunctions would be avoided if you follows this standard and not the pernicious and frequent custom of going to the optics store without the previous visit to the specialist physician.

The sick person at the beginning of the retinal detachment, notes that he lacks a part of its visual field, or you see the deformed objects and it appraises in general kind of a velum or of curtain for before the space that is about looking with one of its eyes. This sensation, days before he/she can go preceded of fotopsias, that is to say, as of some luminous gleams more or less volatile. With the night rest the symptom sometimes disappears, but he/she repeats and it is accentuated as they lapse the hours of the day. The fellow doesn't sometimes perceive these symptoms, mainly if the eye with abruption already had worse vision or knowingly he/she went defectively corrected.
Although in general a retinal detachment doesn't require an operation of urgency, it is convenient that the patient is visited soon. The oculist should make a careful exploration of the bottom of the eye, and overdraft the abruption, although it is of little extension, it will overwork the exploration in the search of some possible retina fissure. It is not always in the first exploration, for what is advisable some days of absolute rest in bed with binocular bandage to discover the fissures before making the intervention, only mean of obtaining the cure of the illness.

The more old it is the abruption minors possibilities he/she offers of a total cure: because although in the surgical aspect the reaplicación of the retina can be procured in its place, the grade of visual recovered capacity is affected by the lapsed time. It is explained to it because, to the being the retina such a delicate membrane, and when being deviant of their free position, it is affected in their nutrition, with the degenerative consequential alterations, accented point as much as general ledger has been the time in that the retina has suffered this deviation.
