In adolescence endometriosis may pass unnoticed and cause a gradual and insidious disorder.

When is the dysmenorrhea an isolated event in sexual activity with a young, you should consider a pelvic inflammatory disease, and should be examined by the gynecologist and then conduct the studies that apply.

The explosion of a vehicle is usually produced by inflammation of the vapors of gasoline, which burns liquid state, but not exploited.

Gasoline evaporated along with the air peligrosísisma form a mixture that can catch fire by a spark or by contact with a surface very hot, such as engine exhaust manifolds.

Manufacturers know this and designed to avoid the various parts of the fuel system so that there is no accumulation of vapors or they can contact hot zones or electrical devices.

Disfony and affections in the throat

The disfony and the different affections that take place in the throat, are the habitual symptoms of the I catch a cold common so much in the children and young as in the adults.

These symptoms many times you are increased in the daily life by the fume of the tobacco plant, for the intake of cold liquids or to speak in continuous form during a prolonged time period.

All ésto, takes us to an irritation of the vocal chords with the consequent disfonía and loss of the voice. In turn, this is accompanied by the pain to the deglución of liquids and solids. The sensation that usually appears in these cases, is that we "have a foreign body in our throat." This makes us take place I clear the throat and in consequence, they are irritated and you inflame our vocal chords.

You are very important that this inflammation doesn't progress to avoid the on infection with bacterial or viral agents, which accompany of very annoying symptoms with your consequences, so much at social level as labor that will require of a specific medical treatment and also, prolonged.

When you begins with the symptomatology that we have mentioned previously, you are always important to consult with our physician who will give us an I diagnose precise. But however, we can appeal while to first helps (as the pain relievers of quick action or anti-inflammatory of topical or local use) to mitigate the symptoms and to feel less annoying.

Otitis

The otitis is the illness more common of the hearing and you are about the inflammation of the same one that can affect the extraneous part, you mediate or you confine of this organ. According to the sector that the same one affects, the denomination of the otitis class that show up.

In the case of the extraneous otitis, they are represented by the processes that affect the pavilion headphone and the conduit extraneous aiditivu. They are characterized by the appearance of intense pain, particularly when pressing or to move the pavilion headphone, and even when making movements with the mouth: to masticate, to swallow, etc.

As you are bigger or pettier the grade of the inflammation that affect the external auditory canal, the otitis can go accompanied by a certain grade of deafness, caused by the inflammation experienced by the walls of the conduit that obstruído appears.

If the inflammatory process advances, despés will appear the supuración that one manifests for a serosity and even for true pus that fill the external auditory canal and you ooze for him, staining the patient in this case the pillow, as well as the hair or the cotton pellets that usually arrange in the entry of this conduit and that frequently they forget there, transforming then into a foreign body with the complications that such a status can carry.

Now then, the otitis stockings, like you indicate your name, they are those that affect the half hearing. They can be classified in two big groups: acute and chronic. In first o'clock, that is to say the acute ones, the predominant symptoms are the pain and the deafness, accompanied in many occasions of fever; they can also show up acúfenos or buzzes of hearing of different type (beeps of type pulsátil, whistles, stream of vapor, etc.), as well as, not always, a sensation of instability or slight insecurity that it constitute the symptom called vertigo.

The half acute otitis, if you are not quickly, you will produce supuración and, like in some extraneous otitis, you also here flow of the extraneous hearing a white xanthic liquid that stain the cottons and the pillow.

The leading cause of this supuracuión resides in a nasal infection that for via tubal, that is to say, for the Eustachian tube that communicate the nasal graves with the tympanic box or half hearing, it is transmitted at this last. The appearance of this supuración indicates that the drum membrane or eardrum that it are kind of a diaphragm that separate the extraneous hearing of the half hearing, have been perforated, and you are then, in general, when the acute pain that the patient entered usually disappears.

The otitis interns, they also receive the laberinitis name, since in this case the inflammation resides in the interior hearing or labyrinth. In general they constitute a sequel of the otitis stockings festered chronicles, to those that when not being treated properly, they affect the interior hearing. Your main symptoms are: the supuración, the deafness, the hearing buzzes and the vertigo.

Hepatitis

You are named hepatitis to the diffuse inflammation of the hepatic gland, what produce injuries destrictivas of the hepatocitos, associated to an exudative process.

When the inflammation returns, all the hepatic destroyed cells are reabsorbed and they are substituted by new cells regeneradoras, at the time that the exudation and the inflammatory cells disappear little by little.
This box of injuries doesn't have anything of specific, that is to say, the hepatic gland reacts in the same way before aggressive numerous agents, among which should stand out: the toxics (chemical or biologic) that give place to the toxic (industrial, fortuitous, you commit suicide or therapy) hepatitis; the infectious agents not viral that give place to an infectious fortuitous (pneumonia, syphilis, paludism, amoebiasis, recrudescent fever, etc.) hepatitis; and, finally, the viruses (that they produce infectious mononucleosis, fever, yellow, epidemic hepatitis and for homologous serum).

You be which are the lawsuit that cause the hepatitis, the clinical manifestations they are usually always the same ones, although the graveness of the path of the liver damage varies according to the aggressive agent.
The epidemic hepatitis or for homologous serum it is the one that are given in the clinical practice with more frequency.
Most of they have a communio origin, being the responsible one a filterable virus; the viral hepatitis is classified in two big groups: epidemic hepatitis, caused by the one that one comes naming virus TO or YH; and hepatitis for homologous serum, taken place by the compound number B or SH.
In both hepatitis, the clinical box and the histological injuries are identical, although the virus YH is always transmitted for via oral, and the period of incubation hard from two to four weeks, while the virus SH is transmitted by inoculation of blood or products of the same one with syringe, and your period of incubation oscillates between 10 and 20 weeks.

The viral hepatitis is almost always manifested by a box of dummy flu (seudogripal), characterized by a great decline and lassitude, appetite ullage, general breach associated to pains articulares and even headache more or less intense. The fever oscillates, and few times you pass of 39º. A slight pain can be given in the hepatic field, being very strange, on the other hand, the one that show up alive pain of cholic hepatic.
This box flu-like pseudo dura around 8 to 10 days, to the end of which the urination is darkened until acquiring the shade of the brandy.
Next an icterus appears that begin in the eyes to go covering the whole body little by little. During a, two or three weeks, the color of the icterus is intensified to go remitting slowly during an or two weeks later.

Whichever it is the etiology of a hepatitis, the treatment is always the same one. The main base is the absolute rest in bed.
This debit side to last, as minimum, until the lab analyses demonstrate that the bilirubin of the blood has returned to your normality.
Many cases that have evolved secondarily toward the chronic condition or malice, are due to an interrupt of the corporal rest. The second base of a good treatment is mainly the abundant, compound power supply of hydro-carbonados, vegetables and fruits, associating you a protean minimum of around 2 g newspapers for kilogram of body weight.
You should be excluded of the alimentary régime all type of excitant, sauces, mustard and alcoholic drinks. As background processing, the sick person should take a vitamin supplement, mainly of the complex B, associated to vitamin C.

Bronchitis

The bronchitis consists on the inflammation of the bronchial tree, accompanied by an excessive production of mucosity. The acute variety of bronchitis, very current, usually determines scarce incompetence. On the contrary, the chronic form is important, since he/she goes accompanied by intense dysfunctions of the respiratory feature and frequently continued of emphysema, and it can even drive to the death for bronchopneumonia or acute and cardiac breathing failure.

In the case of the acute bronchitis, you are about a process that can dearrollarse like the initial manifestation of an infectious illness, as the measles and the typhoid fever, or parallelly to an acute bacterial pneumonia. In chronic bronchitis they are sometimes observed symptoms of an acute, unchained bronchitis, apparently, for the ación of irritating factors, rather that infectious, such as the substances that pollute the atmosphere.

You frequently begin with nuisances retroesternales, due to the inflammation of the trachea and dry, difficult and painful cough, in crisis form or paroxysms. The exhibition to the cold air and the inhalation of irritating agents, as the tobacco plant, they make worse the crisis of cough. Frequently he/she goes accompanied by noisy and perceptible respiration; and at the beginning, it is usually escalsa the expectoration of the mucus, which are made then more abundant and I thicken.

The bronchitis agudade the children evolve in a very serious way, because of the pneumonia that originate.

As for the chronic bronchitis, you are characterized by cough and expectoration that it persist the whole year, with abundant secretion of bronchial mucus and inflammatory alterations of the bronchial wall.

The factors that intervene in the setting-up of the chronic bronchitis are several and they are not still very well-known. The frequency of due deaths to this illness increases with the age, and you are eviodente the prevalence of the men on the women.

You are difficult to establish the paper carried out by the sick person's profession in the origin of this illness, but the certain thing is that you take place with more frequency in the industrial fields. You are suspected firmly that the sludges of the atmospherical air influence notably in the path and disease progression. You seem also to be certain that the nicotine inhaled with the fume of the tobacco plant acts directly on the bronchial mucosa and you force her to segregate an excessive quantity of mucus; however, all the smokers of cigarettes not suffer bronchitis, that which make suppose that certain individual and family susceptibility exists.

The development of the chronic bronchitis is manifested by intermittent crisis of acute bronchitis, mainly in the months of winter, crisis of which it are more and more difficult to recover. In general, the illness begins in way inidosa, although it can begin in an acute way. Many sick persons allocate your promeros symptoms to some infectious acute process, as pneumonia, measles, whooping cough, etc.; other, simply to smoke. The progress of the chronic bronchitis is co patent frequency, until transforming into a suffering that last the whole year, with acute exacerbations. This state frequently leads to the death, well for rough pneumonia, well for breathing failure or cardiac right, to the end of 20 or 40 years after your beginning.

The influence of the atmospherical state, is fully grateful, and you are notorious the aggravation of the symptoms the days of cold, wet time and with mist.

Sesbania Punicea Meek Acacia or Acacia of Having Taken a Bath

These acacias (Sesbania Punicea), it is a shrub of 1 and ½ to 2 ½ meters high: it sometimes succeeds in forming a shrub of about 4 meters not very more or less.

Their sheets are composed; from 8 to 12 centimeters long, made up of folíolos in number from 6 to 14 pairs, in way largely elliptic, glabrous, obtuse and apiculados, measuring from 12 to 22 millimeters long; peciolulos from 1 to 1 and ½ millimeters; you stipulate caedizas.

It possesses red flowers, of about 2 centimeters long, prepared in clusters that in general are shorter than the sheets.

Its fruit, as most of the leguminous ones, is a vegetable; long from 6 to 10 centimeters, tetrágona, stocked of coriaceous and wide, relatively wide wings.

It is a plant it would originate of Uruguay, Argentina and south of Brazil. He/she lives in wet places, you border of having taken a bath, lagoons, etc.

Many times it is cultured in the gardens. Their flowers are very showy.

The infusion of the cortex and also of the root it serves as vomitive in the proportion of 10 grams in a liter of water.

The flowers are used to manufacture liquors and to perfume doughnuts.

The infusion or the maceration of the fresh flowers in alcohol, cane, etc., administered in drops desleídas in water it is a good antispasmodic and they are used in the nervous hysteria and press of the heart.

The decoction of the cortex that is rich in tannin, is used in the proportion of 20 grams in a liter of water, as astringent to wash wounds, ulcerations and also in crops for the inflammations of the buccal mucosa.

Pneumonia

The inflammations of the lung or pneumonias (commonly pneumonias), they are usually produced by bacteria but viral pneumonias, rickettsiósicas, etc also exist. the germs pathogens arrive to the lung transported by the blood stream, or for top-down propagation of infectious processes of the respiratory higher channels: rinitis and pharyngitis that, if they descend, they can give place to laryngitis, to traqueítis, to bronchitis and even to infections of the own lung.

Conjointly with the pneumonias we should mention the bronchopneumonias. In the pneumonias a pulmonary single inflammatory focus exists, of enough extension: it embraces to great part of a lobe, to one complete, or to more than one. In the bronchopneumonias the pulmonary inflammation is plurofocal: the aflame fields of the lung are usually pettier than in the pneumonia, but they exist different. The same germs that cause the pneumonias can give origin to bronchopneumonias.

The pneumonias and bronchopneumonias are always important illnesses. They study with deep prostration, fever, side (if the focus inflammatory wound until the pleura) pain, cough with scarce expectoration and breathing difficulty.

The most frequent bacterial pneumonia is the neumocócida. 90% of the bacterial pneumonias is neumocócidas and they are very sensitive to the antibiotics, especially to the penicillin.

Commonly it is believed, and until many physicians they admit it that from the input of the antibiotics in the treatment of the infections, the frequency of the pneumonias has diminished a lot of .Pero the reality it is that the pneumonias continue being as frequent as before the antibiotic and chemotherapeutic therapy; what has diminished has been its graveness and mortality: the systematic practice, in hospital centers, of thorax x-rays in patient acute affections of respiratory infections confirms it. But given the effectiveness of the antibiotics in the pneumococcal pneumonia, and to be this the most frequent bacterial pneumonia, many of these illnesses, are cured without book credit diagnostigadas.

Conjunctivitis

The conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctival one whose nature is almost always of extraneous origin, and there are them of diverse classes. They receive the microbial agent's name that produces them and they can be catarrhal, purulentas, membranous, flictenuares, among other. One can suffer in an acute or chronic way, but the exact diagnostic determines it the oculist.

If he/she doesn't get complicated the cornea, the conjunctivitis sick person it notes the appearance of foreign bodies, nuisances to the light or fotofobia, pain, difficulty in the visual effort and fleeting enturbiamiento more or less repeated of the vision, with general ledger or pettier secretion of exudates that can be filiform, serous or purulentos, according to the conjunctivitis class that is suffered. to the awakening, the lids are more or less sticky, edematosos and red. The slot of the lids diminishes of size and the conjunctival tumefacta is observed, red and frequently with petty ecchymosis, that is to say, by way of petty haemorrhages localized in the funds of sack conjuntivales.

For the treatment of these conjunctivitis, diverse collyriums can be used that exist in the market: of astringent type for the filiform secretions, sulfamidados in the serous exudations, and antibiotics in the forms purulentas. Nevertheless, it should be had it enters that of not being appraised an immediate improvement, it is preferable to consult to the expert who will determine the conjunctivitis type and their perfect treatment and cure exactly forthwith.

He/she suits to remember that the conjunctivitis chronicles or not well treated they are much more difficult of curing and they can produce complications in the cornea. In the children, more specifically in the newly born ones, special care should be had, making sure that an obstruction of the channels excretoras doesn't exist. Be like outside, he/she should be treated the conjunctivitis as soon as possible to avoid serious complications in the cornea that you/they can affect in the future to the vision. The conjunctivitis gonocócicas, diftéricas or variolosas, they are extraordinarily serious for who suffers them.

Non debit side to forget the conjunctivitis tracomatosa that although in the last years it has fallen vastly in importance, they continue existing cases in an endemic way, susceptible of infection and of chronic path, as the spring conjunctivitis that charges vigor annually in the station changes.

Finally, he/she suits to keep in mind that the conjunctival one is susceptible of suffering different tumors, benign or malignant, for what you/they should not be neglected never, although they don't produce pains and not even nuisances. It is advisable to consult to the family doctor who will indicate the convenience that he/she sees them the oculist.

A curious formation conjuntival, in general benign that usually leaves of the interior angle of the eye toward the cornea, with trend to cover it, it is the pterygium, called this way by their form and light transmission that make it similar to the wing of an insect. If this pterygium of dilatory path, is progressive, it requires surgical treatment.
