The number of couples that you/they live this problem type, is increased day by day with running of the time. They are many the lawsuits so that ésto happens. Many times the work makes that, in this world globalizado, trips to the interior of your country and other times to the exterior. The studios also make that you travel, for example for maters or post grades, distancing you of your couple. But the most usual thing nowadays, is the fact that they exist more and more even that one knows for internet, falling in love and having to take drastic desiciones when formalizing.

Eczemas and Herpes

The eczema is maybe the most frequent and broadcasted affection. Few people will have that in the path of your life they have not suffered it, or at least they have not suffered a secondary eczematización of another affection; the first, maybe, were the dermatitis of the infant's diapers.

In essence, the eczema consists on a petty one, sometimes very petty, sobreelevación of the due skin to the appearance of a light quantity of liquid, forming a minuscule cavity among the cells of the epidermis. If those blisters are very pequ'ñas, is palpated much better than s even. He/she usually accompanies of cigar, often intense and durable that, when being scratched the blisters they break, the skin becomes moist, the injuries ooze and easily they are infected. They appear two new phenomena then: of a side, the skin reddens (erythema) and you swell lightly (edema); of other, the secondary infection gives place to the formation of petty cortexes, in general yellow (impetigo), to the increase of the cigar, to the extension of the injury and the secondary infection of the infection, with what the box, initially plain, has suffered an important complication. In summary, the eczema consists on this triad: blister, cigar-scratched and wet injury. If you are not blister you are not eczema.

The lawsuits of the eczema are very numerous and therefore they are several the types of the same one. To practical goods, the most important form is the secondary eczematización of a previous injury. Among the most frequent they should be known:

- The infant's eczema: almost always to an irritating local factor. The gauzes of the children, for very clarified that they are, they always contain alkaline remains of soap or detergents, when not of bleach. These remains are dissolved when becoming moist the gauze with the boy's urination and they act as an irritating agent of first command on the infant's brittle skin. The consequence is the persistent redness of the buttocks, periné and pubis, and not rarely the step to the eczema phase.

- The dermitis of the laundry, more characteristic of women, in the one that for different lawsuits, mainly the continuing dampness and the alkaline detergents, a decrease of the submitted of the skin of the hands exists that often accompany of secondary eczematización.

- The contact eczema, own mainly of the labor pathology in that very diverse you substantiate they act as sensitizing agents, for allergic mechanism, and they cause the formation of blisters. Among the most frequent we should mention those of the hairdressers (for parafenilendiamina), bricklayers (for chromium), waiters (for nickel), etc. The contact eczema also takes place often in the face for the use of cosmetics or I eat reaction to some medicines of local use, mainly some powdered sulfamides.

Among the vesiculous other affections, the most important, mainly from a popular point of view, you are the herpes. Numerous affections have received such a name. The herpes simplex consite in a petty blister that accompany of a discreet reddishness and edema of the neighboring skin and that secondarily it usually infects. In some people he/she appears mainly with a certain frequency or record in mucous, mainly the labial (cold sores) or genital. Your therapy is easy, but difficult to avoid the relapses when you couch to it.

A very different and much more serious form is the herpes zoster, in which a line appears, sometimes very long, of petty blisters located in the itinerary of a nervous edge and that they translate an affection of the same one in fact. Your path is dilatory and you sometimes go accompanied, particularly in old people, of very intense pain.

Schizophrenia

The psychoses esquizofrénicas are the mental most serious and frequent illnesses, since more than half of the chronic confined sick persons they suffer them. They can be defined as the group of psychic dysfunctions in those that the oncoherencia ideoverbal, the ambivalence, prevails the autism, the delirious ideas, the hallucinations and affective deep disturbances, as absence and strangeness of the feelings. This conunto of dysfunctions spreads to evolve toward a dissociation and segregation of the legal capacity.

The fundamental features of the symptoms esquizofrénicos are the following ones: excision of the legal capacity (I overturn fundamental, consistent in a rupture of the harmony of the me and of the psychic normal mechanisms); absurdidas, strangeness and psychological incomprensibilidad of the sick person's (your mind is governed by the new and unknown laws) vivencias; incongruity of the behavior; strangeness of itself, autism and rupture of the contact with the relaidad; catastrophic (with the one that the sick person foresees the destruction of your legal capacity) vivencia.

These illnesses can cause gradually, by means of a long and insidious process, or in an acute and sharp (call emerges) way. Your lawsuits, very diverse, are very debated in the different schools psiquátricas. Diverse factors can exist: genetic, biotipológicos, psicotípicos of predisposition, neurobiologic (energy dysfunctions and dismetabólicos, endocrine dysfunctions) and finally psychosocial (among those that have special importance the biographical events of the childhood, the socio-cultural mean and the relationships interfamiliares). In general, two theories etiopatogénicas prevail: the organicista (for which the schizophrenias are linked illnesses of somatic origin to a consitución and transferable for inheritance) and the psicogenética (for which the esquizpfrenias is reacciónm modes from certain types of legal capacity to specific conflicts). In fact, according to the theory psicogenética, the schizophrenias would be the final result of the uptake in anomalous ways of reaction originated in very early ages before conflicts that cannot remember. New conflicts unchain these latent reaction modes.

They exist, diverse types of psychosis esquizofrénica. The clinical most frequent and typical form is the paranoid schizophrenia that are characterized by the appearance of delirious primary ideas. Delirious secondary ideas and alucinaicones are also added; these three symptoms constitute the core of this schizophrenia. The beginning can be gradual or sharp. Frequently, the delirious ideas of persecution and of poisoning they go accompanied by auditory, visual, smell hallucinations, etc., that they confirm to the sick person in your delirious ideas. He/she usually appears in plenum adultes and even in advance ages.

The other forms clinicians differ for your evolutionary potential. You are two forms that have a very important, more included potential evilutivo that that in the typical or paranoid way, and that they constitute the serious schizophrenias.

In the first place, the schizophrenia hebefrénica are, of insidious and progressive beginning, mainly in the adolescents (school difficulties, you shrink of the performance, hypochondriac crisis and sensation of fatigue). During the beginnings it can seem a neurosis, but after some months or one year the sick person lives as dreaming and you pass to the fundamental symptoms of the illness: progressive apathy with indeferencia regarding everything, infantile behavior and massive and quick trend toward a state serious demencial.

The second serious schizophrenia is the catatonic one. In this illness the psychomotor symptoms prevail, together with a great negativism (I lock of the voluntary activity, being only conserved the self-operating activity). Of all the esquizofrénicos it is the catatonic one the one that give a more intense sensation of insulation of the reality and of rupture with the normal forms of relationship. The psychomotor syndrome can enter two forms: the hipocinética (in the one that the reduction in value of the movement, the forfeiture of all initiative, prevails until the grade of conserving the postures imposed hours and even days, and the mutismo) and the hipercinética, be local or general (in the one that episodes of semiautomatic intense agitation appear, without the sick person of a reduced space that you/they lose temper with periods of immobility being exitted). In general the sick person, although non lomparezca, is pending of your acts. The evolution toward the dementia is carried out in 3 or 4 years.

The Poliomelitis

The poliomelitis is an illness infecciosovírica that affect the children fundamentally, although with pettier frequency it also attacks the adults. You appear in epidemic buds in some countries and in form endemoepidémica in others. Such variances depend on the state inmunitario of a population in front of the infection for the virus of the poliomelitis.

This illness, you are caused by a virus that infect the organism through human-to-human transmissions or for via insinuation, when they act as vehicle the liquids that the man uses in your to live quotidian. These liquids, such as the water, the milk, among other, they can be infected by the own man or for waste waters that infect the conditions of drinking water. The human-to-human propagation of the virus through seemingly healthy individuals is explained by the following facts: the virus penetrates in the organism for via digestive and you nest in the pharynx and, especially, in the intestine, where you reproduce extraordinarily and you are deleted by means of the feces. You originate an illness of pharyngeal or digestive determinism, and only by one percent of the polluted ones it causes paralysis. In the remaining ones, the illness decreases to some bare anginas or an intestinal dysfunction that it cure spontaneously. The individual that have suffered this infection, is definitively immunized, because you have been formed in him a rate of enough antibodies to exercise an attestation and you activate protection. This status antigénica is the one that also believe the vaccination antipoliomielítica. The ingestion of repeated vaccine dose for virus inactivado believes a state of practically permanent defence. The inyeción of dead (bovine Salk) virus determines a reaction inmunitaria equally, although less active and durable than the vaccination for via oral type Sabin.

The contamination of a not vaccinated person, unchains an illness that begin clinically, after a period of incubation of 10 or 12 days, with anginas or digestive dysfunctions, accompanied by thermal slight elevation. In the forms non paralytics, the clinical box is reduced to this symptomatology, so not very characteristic. In the paralyzed forms they are added to the mentioned dysfunctions two clinical absolutely characteristic symptoms: fever (with elevations between 38 and 39º), and pain (localized in the extremities so much higher as inferior and you increase during the mobilization attempts) .Aparecen the espamos and muscle cramps, extremely painful and of progressive path. This period, called preparalítico, you are characterized by pain and fever whose duration is of 2 or 3 days and that you end in the paralyzed period, during which the muscular typical paralyses are set up that can affect to any muscle group, although preferably, to the inferior extremities. In occasions, the paralyzed muscles are the intercostal ones and others that have had made the pulmonary ventilation, with that which the calls respiratory forms of the infantile paralysis are constituted.

The path of the poliomelitis can be very desfavorabe, especially when the calls factors of graveness converge, among which it highlight for your importance, the respiratory form of the poliomelitis. Another factor of graveness is the participation of the cerebral trunk and still of the own encéfalo, in the process lesional.

Dwarfism or Achondroplasia

The increment comes defined by an increase estatural and ponderal: the boy when growing, gains weight and you increase your stature. Keeping in mind that in the man they are germane also the laws of the physics and of the chemistry, in the period of increment a prevalence of metabolic anabolic or constructive phenomena would exist, on the catabolic or destructive.

Conjointly with the increment, you take place the development or maturation. The adult not only differs of the boy for your different stature, but also for your morphology, physiology and psyche. With the increment they vary the proportions coeporales, they atrophy certain víceras or systems (I cheat, lymphatic system, etc.) and they grow and other organs enter in feature, as the sexual glánduilas that are petty in the childhood and they are totally inactive. The increment and entry in feature of the sexual glands take place in the puberty; but you should not forget that this is not nothing else that a phase of the increment and of the development. The esuqeleto and the musculature also suffer a very patent development in the path of the increment.

Usually, in the mature age, in the male, they are given like normal sizes the understood ones between 1,65 and 1,85 m. If the stature is understood between 1,45 and 1,65, you are spoken of hipocrecimiento and, when you are inferior to 1,45 m., you are spoken of dwarfism. The understood ones between 1,85 and 2 m. they are described as hipercrecimiento; and the higher ones to 2 m., of gigantismo.

In the feminine sex the figures are something inferior. The statures from 1,55 to 1,70 m. they are considered normal. In the feminine hipocrecimiento, the size is inferior to 1,55 m., and in the hiper increment, higher to 1,70 m. When you are inferior at 1,35 or higher at 1,85 we are respectively in front of a dwarfism or gigantismo.

As for the lawsuits of the dwarfism, we should name in the first place, the deficit of increment of lawsuit genetics. The inheritance weighs in great way on the size of the fellows.

It can also retard the increment the insufficient power supplys, so much quantitative as qualitatively. During the increment the anabolic (constructive) phenomena should prevail, on the catabolic (destructive) ones: the earnings should be higher to the forfeitures. Keeping in mind that the material constructive bñasico of the alive metria is the proteins, you are the protean deficit in the power supply the one that more rebounds on the increment. Among the insufficient power supplys the hipovitaminósicas should be included qualitatively; some infantile avitaminosis, as the rachitis, they give place to important hipocrecimiento.

Separate, the foods should be well digested and absorbed in the digestive system and they should arrive to the tissues and being taken advantage by the cells. You are also indispensable that the tissues don't suffer of anoxia that you/they usually breathe.

The illnesses endócrinas, I eat the infantile hipofuncionales of the lobe previous of the hypophysis and the hipotiroidismo for example, they also give place to the dwarfism.

Flat Foot

The flat foot in the newly born one, and a normal fact: the foot of the newly born one is plump and flat. With the increment and the development you estililza and also, your plant adopts a characteristic concavity. Thanks to this plantar bank vault, the normal foot only relies on the floor for your check, your extraneous edge and your previous part; you detail that it can be proven registering the plantar print. The plantar bank vault maintains fundamentally for the ligaments that bind the dostintos bones of the foot and for the shade of your muscles.

In the flat foot a relaxation of the plantar bank vault, fact that can be appraised at first sight exists and to be studied with more detail by means of the register of the plantar print. Diverse grades of flat foot exist; in the extreme cases he/she relies on the floor the whole plant of the foot. The observation of the footwear has interest in the diagnostic, since these patients spend much more the interior part of the heels of the shoes.

You exist a foot flat congénoto that, frequently, you are hereditary. The flat acquired foot can obey very diverse lawsuits; all they act relaxing the shade of the muscles and of the ligaments of the feet or boosting them. Among such lawsuits we should mention: the obesity, the menopause, the genital inadequacy, the professions that you/they force to remain in foot too prolonged (especially on hard floor) timeframes or to the forced use of the feet (drivers, mechanics, etc.), the chronic illnesses of the knees, of the hips, and even, of the spine that you/they perturb the bipedestación.

The flat foot is frequent. According to the rheumatologists, almost a fourth part of the patients that you/they go to your queries suffers this illness. By a so much very high percent of cases, you are very well tolerated, being totally asymptomatic. When you give nuisances, they usually consist on fatigue and pain. The patient gets tired easily, not only of feet and legs, but rather you also enter a general fatigue that diminish your labor performance intensely. The pain is usually more accused when remaining in foot that when walking.

You are fundamental the diagnostic and the precocious treatment. The cases diagnosed tardñiamente can force to surgical correction. The base of the therapy constitutes, besides the treatment of the causal factors and of well ruled gymnastics, etc., the employment of appropriate footwear, with or without special templates.

Diarrhea

You are named diarrhea to the expulsion of feces of liquid or doughlike consistency, generally associated to an increase in the number of the sedimentations throughout 24 hours.In the diarrhea eciste always an acceleration of the intestinal transit, associating in having determined cases an intestinal faulty absorption and even an exaggerated hypersecretion of your mucous glands. Now then, an acceleration of the transit of the small intestine can exist if diarrhea. You are it due to an offset on the part of the colon that can raise the time of permanency of the fecal materials, until your due dehydration in that. From the clinical point of view, we can classify the diarrheas in three big groups: dummy diarrheas, acute diarrheas and chronic diarrheas.

In the dummy diarrheas, when describing the jam fecal, determined types of constipation they can cause an expulsion of feces of doughlike or liquid consistency, with increase of the number of the sedimentations, what could be confused with a diarrhea.

The acute diarrheas, are characterized by your sharp presentation in totally healthy people. Not they have anything of specific, since they can be many the lawsuits that provoke them. The acute diarrhea generally takes place for the food intake in malas conditions: already for bacterial toxins in the same ones, already for bacterial contamination. In other occasions, you are the same energy the one that can be toxic, as the ingestion of certain species of mushrooms. For some patients, the allergy toward having determined foods can be the unchaining lawsuit d euna acute diarrhea. Finally, we should also remember that an excessive power supply with the help of irritating foods or of excess of drinks, it can be the lawsuit of an acute diarrhea.

When the lawsuit of the diarrhea has been the food intake in mala conditions, the first symptoms appear at the few hours of having ingested them, being noted general uneasiness, with sensation of tightness inside the abdomen. Later, pains appear in retorcijo form, indigestion sensation, frequent eructation, with repetition d ela eaten constituent of the diarrhea, accompanied by a revolting state and even of vomits. Little depsués, the patient notes you win imperious of evacuating and you make it ejecting great quantity d egases, with doughlike feces at the beginning and flowed later, of very bad odor.

In the light cases, the vomits disappear quickly, but I didn't seize the pains coliculares and the desires of to evacuate that persist during 24 or 48 hours, ending up making up to 10-12 up-to-date sedimentations. The general state doesn't usually lose temper.

In the cases of average graveness and in the serious ones, the general state loses temper. Fever that he/she can go appear preceded of intense chills. The pains in retorcijón form are almost made contínuos, and the number of sedimentations, abundant, being ejected at the end some totally watery and odorless feces. This produces a great dehydration, with forfeiture of weight that oscillate between the 8 and 12 kilograms.

In the serious cases, the face is sharpened, coldness of the extremities, the pulse exists you become dilatory and taquicárdico, with great trend to the colaspo. If the diarrheal box persists, very annoying cramps can appear in the calves and the patient case stops to urinate. The number of sedimentations can be so considerable that neither the sick person neither the relatives know how many you have made in the 24 hours; you generally take place a great irritation of the rectum and of the anus that determine some continuing and very annoying desires of having to evacuate continually.

Down syndrome - a boy with DS in the family

Sometimes, and soon after the official statement of existing Down syndrome in the baby, the petty one not and waited by your parents with the happiness that are usually generated. This is, a group of symptoms and diverse signs are manifested in the person's global development from your approach, because of the genetic excess material of the chromosome 21. Then cry, anguishes, pain, deception, rejection and negation; they are some of the emotional probable manifestations when the dad and the mom find out this fact.

For these reasons, world campaigns of qualification have begun for obstetricians, midwives, efermeras and neonatólogas with the purpose of that when a baby is born with Down syndrome, know how to react and don't transform that session into a day of mourning. The family needs to know that the boy maybe is a little more dilatory than the other children that will have to lavish you a little more than carefulness, but that you will surely be able to swim, to read, to write, to sing, to run, to play, to draw, to grow, to dream and to love as your siblings, to your rhythm.

One of each 650 babies that are born suffers Down syndrome, and your 50% he/she can have a congenital cardiopathy that should be diagnosed on time, as well as you suit to prevent immunologic possible disorders and aletraciones endocrinológicas. This information helps to the family so that you understand and you accompany your increment well. Every day you are more people with Down syndrome integrated in preschools and common schools, and in works that were impossible until yesterday for them.

To accept that the son that were born has not been the prospective one, you require time, you fight and patience. The increment and development of each person's potential depends exclusively and from the start, of your parents. and you know that you will have limitations but nobody can predict them with surety. Amid this fight that most of the families undertake with estocismo, a malignant virus is sometimes strained almost imperceptibly: that of the discrimination. When some people are affected by this virus, they usually call to these boys with the current "mongólicos" term; they usually believe that one cannot make anything for them; that are inferior" "beings. And you are another discrimination, more subtle, less aggressive, that sometimes leave of the boy's same parents. You are mammas that you/they say: "my son is a down", when in fact your son is a boy that Down syndrome possesses. Neither it is convenient to use words like you "suffer of ", you "have a cruel destination", you are "diseased of", because you are not an illness and because the issue of the destination nobody tastes it like certain science. Neither it is not certain that all those that have Down syndrome are same to each other: each one of them resembles the other members of your family, although you are certain that they have some physical features characteristic of the syndrome.

You are also dads and moms that feel a lot of blame because internally recjhazan to that son, although they take care of it and they attend with all that he needs. In that case it is important that they can request help. We usually hide generally what are happening us. You give us shame, you give us pain... and you are for that reason that to the margin of that make with our son, you are important to be advised professionally with experts in family, to be able to habloar of the topic and to learn what to make. The siblings can also feel guilty for not accepting to the recently arrived as them they wanted; and instead of denying it, this is to speak to it in an appropriate frame.

Not there is any test that to have a son with Down syndrome has algú negative important or permanent effect in the legal capacity of the other children. In fact, if you wonder to the biggest siblings how they feel in connection with it, your answers suggest that rather there is a beneficial effect. The siblings of the children with Down syndrome, they are usually very tolerant, with a grade of very remarkable understanding and a great maturity in your treatment with the other ones.

Infertility - Sterility

We call this way to the impossibility of conceiving or to the failure of the generative feature. They are considered sterile 10% of the couples, and it cannot be accepted that sterility exists until a couple takes two years of sexual normal relationships. The very generalized belief that the lawsuit of the sterility is always of feminine origin, it is a great error that currently cannot be accepted. The man is also responsible for the sterility in 40% of the cases, in spite of conserving the sexual seemingly normal features. The sterility should be treated in common, owing the couple to go to a responsible gynecologist.

It is important to scan detailedly with the gynecologist, the habits of sexual activity. Some couples don't make coitus with the enough frequency so that a gestation happens times for religious reasons, there is who distance the sexual such relationships that don't take place in the moments of more fecundity. If the woman's cycles are short, and their relatively long menstrual periods, the ovulation can correspond to the period of abstinence. Or to the inverse one, the frequency of coitus can diminish or to overwork the capacity of production of the male's spermatozoa partially, reason why some days of rest they will improve the content of the ejaculation of this. Also, the position adopted during a coitus or after him, it can influence in the possibilities of the approach.

Among the lawsuits of sterility we can find: in the man, firstly the dysfunctions of the spermatozoa. When complete absence of them exists it is said that there is azoospermia; and when there is a decrease it is named oligoespermia. A normal man has in each ejaculation from 60 to 120 million spermatozoa for cubic centimetre. When there are less than 40 millions for cubic centimetre an oligoespermia it exists and it is difficult the fecundation. The ullage of spermatozoa can be due to an obturation, for lack of development of the channels male genital, or to adherences caused by tuberculous infections or old gonocócicas. Their decrease can also be due to hormonal dysfunctions. Another masculine dysfunction is the impotence, more or less hidden, and that it can obey organic lawsuits, when an illness of the penis exists, or to psychic lawsuits, among those that it can figure the repulsion more or less larvada toward the couple.

Another class of dysfunctions, they are the combined ones, that is to say that embrace the man and the woman. They are for example the barriers to the climb of the spermatozoa in a half vaginal one hostile, for abnormal mucus, acidity excess, inflammations of the neck of the uterus named cervicitis, among other.

In the woman, the same as in the man with the spermatozoa, they can exist the dysfunctions of the ovulation in the first place, with ovulation ullage or with ova of diminished vitality. The existence and accuracy of the ovulation can be determined by means of the basal temperature. The dysfunctions that produce an obstruction of the trumpets come later and they impede the step of the ovum from the ovary to the uterus; concretely it is this one of the most frequent lawsuits in feminine sterility and it is the result of a tuberculosis, gonococia or inflammations that have cured with adherences. They can also hinder more or less the coitus the vulva closed and the vaginismo that consists on a vagina spasm, sometimes very difficult of expiring. Likewise among the feminine lawsuits they should make an appointment the hormonal ones. Naturally, as much in the man as in the woman, the dysfunctions of the development are reasons of sterility.

The treatment of a sterility is complex, patient and I release. It should be continued and to be scanned each one of the parts of the genital apparatus of both spouses.

Information of The Stress

The Stress
Hans Selye (1907-1982) was the responsible one of coining this word. Physiologist and Viennese physician, were also Director of the Institute of Medicine and Experimental Surgery of the University of Montreal. In 1950 it published their more famous investigation: "Stress, a studio about the anxiety." Starting from this thesis, the stress or general syndrome of adaptation (known by the initials SGA) passed to summarize an entire group of symptoms psicofisiológicos. Selye was able to separate the physical goods of the stress of other symptoms suffered by its patients through its investigation. He/she observed that their patients suffered physical dysfunctions that were not caused directly by their illness or for their medical condition.
You can classify by means of the following outline:

According to their type
Physical stress: it is that that doesn't allow the person to act correctly for changes in the environment or in the daily routine. This can end up hindering the operation of the senses, the flow and respiration. If the physical stress is prolonged, it can damage the health gravely or any delicate status that one already has to worsen.

Psychic stress: it is that caused by the requirements that the person is made to complete in a certain lapse. The compliance of schedules, tasks and occupations where what is demanded is bigger than the person's capacities, it causes the appearance of the stress that far from improving the person's performance, it worsens him and it deletes all autosuperación sense

According to their factors:
Quantity of stress

Hipoestress: little stress.
Hiperestress: a lot of stress.
Stress consequence

Distress: it is about a negative stress in which the lawsuits are very big for our organism.
Eustress: it is a positive stress that he/she boosts us to improve and to overcome us.

Stress grade
Acute stress: it is about a stress of little duration or passenger, but very strong, like kind of an emotional shock
Chronic stress: it is about a strong or weak stress that is prolonged too much or that it is never stopped to have.

The stress can direct or indirectly to contribute to general or specific disorders of the body and the mind.
In the first place, this status makes that the brain puts on in guard. The reaction of the brain is to prepare the body for the defensive share. The nervous system wakes up and the hormones are released to activate the senses, to accelerate the pulse, to deepen the respiration and to tighten the muscles. This answer (sometimes call the answer of to fight or to escape) is important, because he/she helps us to defend against threatening status. The answer is programmed biologically. Everybody reacts more or less in the same way .tanto if the status takes place in the house like in the work.
The short or uncommon episodes of stress represent little risk. But when the stressful status are happened without resolution, the body remains in a constant state of alert, that which the physiologic attrition rate that bears to the fatigue or the bodily injury, and the capacity of the body to recover and to be defended increases can see seriously committed. As a result, it raises the injury risk or illness.

Condition stressful
It boosts working Excess or working ullage. Speed in carrying out the task. Necessity to make decisions. It tires, for effort important physique. Travel long and numerous. Excessive I number of workhours. Changes in the work.

The working loading, so much in the aspects difficult of the task, as the excessive work, they have obtained a direct relationship, among workhours and death caused by coronary artery disease. (Breslow and Buell 1960) .La boosts working, also this related one significantly with a series of stress symptoms: alcohol consumption, absenteeism labor, low motivation in the work, low self-esteem, pressure in the work, threat perception, bewilderment, high-level of cholesterol, increment of the cardiac rate and I increase of usage of cigarettes.

Consequences of the stress
In the first place, the stress modifies the habits related with health, so that with the hurries, the ullage of time, the pressure, etc., they raise the non healthy behaviors, such as smoking, to drink, or to eat in excess, and they decrease the healthy behaviors, as exercising physical, to save a diet, to sleep sufficiently, cautionary behaviors of hygiene, etc. These changes of habits can affect negatively to the health and, of course, they can be developed a series of addictions, with very negative consequences for the individual in the main areas of their life, like they are the family, the social relationships, the work, the health, etc. Let us see some data:

(1) in some highly stressful professions there are more high rates of tabaquismo, alcoholism and other addictions;

(2) this is also certain in unemployed workers, in front of what you/they have work;

(3) people with obesity enter more high levels of anxiety that people that don't enter obesity;

(4) the power supply (anorexy and bulimia) dysfunctions are also very bound with anxiety;

(5) many people with social phobia have problems with the alcohol.

In turn, the development of pernicious habits for health, like it is the case of the addictions, he/she makes raise the stress. The intervention programas for the reduction in value of the weight, or the intervention programas in addictions, or the treatment of the power supply dysfunctions, etc., they should include technical of reduction in value of anxiety and handling of the stress, because when it is made this way they improve their effectiveness.
In second place, the stress can produce a physiologic high activation that, maintained in the time, it can cause malfunctions psicofisiológicas or psychosomatic, such as headaches you tense them, cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, sexual problems, etc. (Farmer and Frizzy, 1993); in turn, the stress can produce changes in other systems, especially an immunodepression that makes raise the risk of infections (as the flu) can take place and it can raise the probability of developing immunologic illnesses, as the cancer (Gray-headed Vindel and Miguel Tobal, 1994). Let us see data:

(1) the patient hipertensos enters levels of anxiety and more high anger that people with normal arterial pressure;

(2) people that suffer arrhythmias, migraines, asthma, skin dysfunctions, sexual malfunctions, digestive dysfunctions, muscular contractures, etc., in general they enter high levels of anxiety;

(3) the students in time of exams (their main period of stress) are more vulnerable to the flu or infectious illnesses of pulmonary type, being more vulnerable people with high anxiety to the exams.

The programas of training in reduction in value of anxiety improve the psychological well-being in all these cases, but they also diminish the physiologic activation and they improve the physical symptoms of these illnesses (reduction in value of the arterial pressure, decrease of the tachycardia in the arrhythmias, deletion of the pain in the migraines, etc.
In third place, the stress can overflow the individual so that it begins to develop a series of slopes or cognitive errors in the interpretation of its physiologic activation, or of its behavior, or of its pansies, or of some status that in turn take him/her to acquire a series of irrational fears, phobias, etc., that of for yes they are a problem of health (the calls anxiety disorders), but that in turn they can continue deteriorating the health in other forms. For example, a submitted person to prolonged stress can end up developing wonderful attacks, or crisis of anxiety that are strong reactions of anxiety that the individual cannot control, with autonomic strong downloads, fear to an attack to the heart, etc.
During this crisis the individual interprets his physiologic activation erroneously and he thinks that he will lack air (when hiperventilando is really), or that he/she will die from an attack to the heart, or that he/she will get dizzy and he/she will fall to the floor, or that he/she will become crazy, etc.
Later on, these wonderful attacks usually get complicated with an agoraphobia (relief of certain status that produce anxiety), with a dependence of the ansiolíticos, sometimes with depression reactions for not being able to resolve their problem, etc.
(Peurifoy, 1993; Gray-headed Vindel, 2002). These anxiety disorders are much more frequent in women that in males (from 2 to 3 more frequent times), but in general a crisis of anxiety coincides with one period of much of stress that has been prolonged a certain time.
Between 1,5% and the population's 3,5% it suffers wonderful dysfunctions with or without agoraphobia. The appearance age is between the 17 and the 35 years, fair in its more productive age.
The stress can also cause a series of disturbances on the cognitive higher processes (carefulness, perception, memory, taking of decisions, judgments, etc.) and a deterioration of the performance in academic or labor (Gray-headed Vindel and Miguel Tobal, 1996), labor (Gray-headed Vindel and Miguel Tobal, 1995) contexts, etc.
This way, the students with high appraisal anxiety enter a decrease of the performance for example, while the programas of training in reduction in value of anxiety to the exams don't only reduce this, but rather they improve the academic performance, raising the half note.

Treatment
Nowadays diverse methods exist to combat the stress, a phenomenon that can be approached from a biomedical point of view or, psychological; without a doubt, the combination of treatments will allow to obtain some more beneficial results for the person that suffers it.
From the biomedical focus the treatment for the stress is the recipe of tranquilizers or ansiolíticos, especially the benzodiacepinas that impact directly in the physiologic answers of stress.

From the psychological focus they think about different alternatives; all they grant great importance to the control of the emotional anxiety, as well as to the use of the petitions of the organism. Among the most important, it is necessary to mention the following ones. The biofeedback techniques that consist on the learning of the voluntary control of the physiologic features and of the self-operating activities (the muscular pressure, the blood pressure, etc.

Among the most important, it is necessary to mention the following ones. The biofeedback techniques that consist on the learning of the voluntary control of the physiologic features and of the self-operating activities (the muscular pressure, the blood pressure, etc.); the respiration techniques and relaxation that are based on the idea that, releasing the body of the muscular (through the abdominal respiration, or of financial years of pressure-distension of the muscle groups, respectively) pressure, the "pressure of the mind" will be released; the cognitive-behavioral techniques, for example the concealed (that he/she consists on learning how to stop the pansy distorsionador that causes negative emotions and to substitute it for other more positive and more constructive) assertion, the concealed (with which the fellow learns how to relax himself while he imagines scenes that progressively go causing bigger anxiety) de-sensitization, the inoculation to the stress (with her he/she becomes trained as to confront and to relax you in the face of a comprehensive variety of stressful tests, developing new reaction forms beyond the fear and the anger); the autocontrol (that they suppose the training of a person to regulate their behaviors, directing their efforts to regulate their own environment, not to modify unmanageable possible or supposed interior states, through the manipulation of conditions antecedents and of consequences) techniques, etc.
Apart from the aforementioned treatments, the electric stimulation, the acupuncture or the audioanalgesia constitute alternative techniques to make in front of the stress and to their consequences.

Febril Convulsion

1ro Define that it is a Febril convulsion
A convulsion is characterized by sudden muscle spasms or forfeiture of the conscience. Some convulsions are unchained by a feverish state and he/she knows them to him with the name of febril convulsions.

2do - How characteristic he/she has
The febril convulsions have three principal voltage-current characteristics: in general they are brief (they don't last more than 15 minutes), they only happen once during a period of 24 hours and they attack so much the right side as left of the body. The convulsions that don't complete these three approaches are not febril convulsions and they can be an epilepsy sign.

3ro - TO that age is more frequent?
Around each 100 children's 3 or 4 they have at least a febril convulsion between the 6 months and 5 years.

4to - does he/she Leave sequels?
Although in general a febril convulsion doesn't produce damage some to the boy, it can be extremely terrifying for the parents. The boy's body becomes hard, he/she has eyepiece (blank eyes) retroversión and it doesn't respond when they speak to him/her. In other cases, the boy can fall to the floor and to shake the arms and legs abruptly.

5to - When do they show up?
The convulsions, in general, show up during the initial phase of the illness (as colds, gastrointestinal infection, angina, etc.) while the temperature ascends quickly (Here it is where I want to clarify something, generally the boy that is spastic feverish, he/she usually shows up the spastic episode before we realize that he/she has fever. I say this, because the parents get scared a lot when a boy has fever thinking that they can convulsivar...). A boy that has a febril convulsion, in general, doesn't have epilepsy (convulse repetitious), although he has a probability lightly bigger than manifesting that affection that a boy that has not had it.

6to Origin
It is not known why some children have febril convulsions and other not. The children smaller than one year that you/they have had a febril convulsion have around fifty percent of probability of having another. In some cases, the physician recommends medicines to avoid other febril convulsions.

7mo - What to make?
If the boy has a convulsion, be about protecting it so that he doesn't injure. Put to bed him in the bed or in the floor and retract all hard object or filoso of the area. Place it of side or with the head toward a side so that he/she doesn't drown in the case of vomits. Not place anything in the boy's (mainly, don't try to insert him/her the fingers in the mouth, it is a MYTH to believe that it can drown with the tongue) mouth.

If the hard convulsion more than two or three minutes, or if the boy has difficulty to breathe, request to somebody that requests medical urgent help while you stay with the boy. Otherwise, once it has ended the convulsion, call to the physician or take to the boy to the emergency room. The physician can recommend some studios to discard infections or other lawsuits.

It is important that it is about avoiding another convulsion controlling that the boy's temperature doesn't ascend when it is diseased (This is in another episode, remember that the typical febril convulsions don't repeat inside the feverish same box). The physician can recommend the paracetamol (Termofrén) management or ibuprofeno (Ibupirac, Febratic, Actron, etc) for babies and children and bathrooms with tepid water.

Not shelter too much to the boy when it is diseased or he/she has fever. The temperature can still ascend more if it is dressed with different layers of clothes (Another MYTH is to believe that the more he/she perspires, quicker it downloads the fever).

Rinitis

The word rinitis (of the Greek "rhin-rhinos" nose and the suffix "itis" inflammation), designates the inflammation of the mucosa of the graves named nasal pituitaries.

He/she can have several origins or lawsuits, I eat the common cold for example. He/she shows up especially in the cold times of year, being one of their symptoms the rinorrea (or exit of mucosities more or less flowing of the nose), accompanied by sneezes, of nasal (difficulty in breathing through the nasal graves) obstruction, and of discreet (headache) migraine. He/she can also appear during some days, a decrease of the capacity olfatoria, as well as something of fever.

The box, in general, lacks importance and it is enough, of not arising complications, the management of analgesic drugs, antitérmicos, bedrest and the application of some preparation in the nasal graves, either moderate and suspended so soon they waive the acute symptoms of the coriza, because habit and being can create then detrimental. In the event of not to waive the acute box in a few days or to suspect the appearance of complications, the revision is imposed on the part of the physician.

Although, inside the rinitis, the acute coriza is the most current form, other varieties that obey other lawsuits exist and that they are more important. One of the most frequent is the allergic coriza, of origin polínico, that is to say, the patient in this case is sensitive to the pollen of having determined plants; the most communio form is the call fever of the hay.

But they are not only the pólenes those producing of such cortizas, but rather a person can be allergic to chemical, textile, alimentary, bacterial products, to the domestic powder, etc. In these cases, the sick persons see each other suddenly affected by a sternutatory crisis, accompanied by nasal abundant secretion, I shed tears and breathing difficulty. It is imposed a revision then thoroughly on the part of the otorhinolaryngologist and even of the allergist with the purpose of attempting the search of the call alérgeno, unchaining factor of the box.

The acute rinitis acquires capital importance in the infant, because the boy, when having clogged up the nasal graves, he/she cannot breathe in the moment of the suction and bad taking the chest or the baby bottle. Separate their repercussion in channels more low, this respiratory rinitis, for the vicinity of the hearing, it can meet in the otitis. It is this case, the boy it should become under the pediatrician's cares. It is very important not to instill drops without discrimination, because those that are suitable for an adult are contraindicated for the infant. This rinitis type hardly ever studies alone, but rather he/she goes accompanied by the encumbrance of those fleshy formations located behind the nose and that we name adenoid that frequently should be medically or to proceed to its surgical extirpation.
