			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After 25 years of research and analysis, a team of American scientists and psychiatrists has finally concluded that diabetic patients are twice as likely as non-diabetics to suffer from depression. Diabetes is disease leading to metabolic complications, which is characterized by raised blood sugar levels. The primary cause of this disorder is the inability of human body to burn or breakdown sugar to produce energy due to lack of insulin, vitamins or minerals. Because sugar cannot be burnt to give energy the body keeps demanding for more food consumption of which further increases the level of blood sugar and hence this forms a vicious cycle. Hence a diabetic patient feels persistent hunger. This condition of excessive thirst, urination and hunger are called polydipsia, polyuria and polyphagia or the polys of diabetes.<br />

</p>
<p>Doctors have long believed and assumed   that<a href="http://www.healthpapa.com/what-is-diabetes-mellitus"> diabetes</a> can bring on <strong>depression</strong> because of the difficulties it causes in the lives of sufferers. Emotional eating further worsens the condition. Fatigue accompanied with diabetes leads to inactivity and inactivity and overeating may lead to depression. Diabetics who are depressed should seek treatment for both maladies according to researchers. The symptoms of diabetes are sometimes superimposed with the symptoms of its complications. For instance there could be symptoms of heart, kidney, eye, brain or nerve disease, which could come alongside the symptoms of diabetes. More and more people are becoming affected by diabetes every year. There is no need to get depressed once you are diagnosed with diabetes.<br />
<strong><br />
How to lead a normal lifestyle?</strong><br />
There are millions of people who lead a normal lifestyle even though they are diabetic. A change in lifestyle, improvement in diet, proper exercise and rest habits, avoiding smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and the use of appropriate medication under the guidance of a diabetologist and early identification of symptoms of depression can go a long way in keeping you healthy and happy. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fever</strong> is a common problem in clinical practice. Most fevers are self-limiting and the illness usually lasts for less than two weeks. If there is no lead in the medical history or when there are no significant localizing signs, fevers pose a difficult diagnostic challenge.</p>
<h2><strong>SHORT DURATION FEVERS</strong></h2>
<p>Most cases of short duration fevers (less than(2 weeks}) are attributed to infections due to viruses, bacteria, or protozoa.Many of these patients recover completely even before a precise diagnosis is made or treatment is given.<br />
Malaise, headache, nausea, vomiting and impaired appetite are non-specific symptoms. These are associated with most infective fevers in childhood and therefore are not helpful in arriving at definitive diagnosis. Diagnostic aspects of some common infections causing short fevers are considered below.<br />
<strong> 1.Respiratory system</strong>: Common cold, pharyngitis, acute otitis media, mastoiditis and pneumonia are the usual acute respiratory illnesses. These are often viral in etiology. Ordinarily, in viral infections a number ofmucosal surfaces are involved simultaneously or in quick succession. In bacterial infections, The inflammatory process is usually localized. Regional lymph nodes are involved. The rate of spread of infection is slower. The throat should always be examined to exclude follicular tonsillitis and diphtheria (suspected if the fever is moderate and the patient appears toxic). The otoscopic examination of the tympanic membrane is an essential part of examination in children with fever. In cases of acute otitis media, the drum membrane appears dull red and the cone of light disappears. The drum membrane may bulge slightly.<br />
Flaring of the alae nasi and working of accessory muscles of respiration indicate pneumonia.</p>
<p><strong>2.Urinary tract infections:</strong> Infections of urinary tract are equally common in infancy among both sexes. After infancy, girls are more vulnerable to suffer from urinary tract infections. Symptoms and signs referable to urinary tract may be minimal or absent. The fever may be hectic and intermittent, at times associated with chills. Some patients may present with fever, vomiting, diarrhea abdominal pain. This may mislead the physician to focus attention on the gastrointestinal system. Urinalysis must be carried out for the diagnosis of unexplained short fevers especially in girls.</p>
<p><strong> 3.Exanthematous disorders:</strong> Careful search should be made for exanthem or enanthem in all cases of fever. Sudaminal rash (often described by parents of the patients in North India as moti-jhera) should not be confused with true enanthems. Sudamen is a non-inflammatory eruption from sweat glands. It appears as pearly white vesicles caused by retention of sweat in the corneous layer of skin. These appear after profuse sweating or in certain febrile disease. Sudamens disappear by absorption in a few days. Sudaminal rash is not diagnostic.</p>
<p><strong>4. Meningitis: </strong>Marked irritability and photo phobia  with headache and persistent vomiting should arouse the suspicion of meningitis. The patient may show neck rigidity, positive Kernig&#8217;s sign, neurological deficits,convulsions, apathy, stupor or coma. The diagnosis should be confirmed by himbajjjuncture and examination of the cerebrospinal fluid.<br />
Meningitis and septicemia in the first 4-6 months of life usually have an atypical presentation.</p>
<p><strong>5. Pyogenic infections:</strong> A meticulous search should be made for the foci of infections in the liver, perinephric and subdiaphragmatic regions,bones and joints. Long bones should be palpated for tenderness over metaphyses. X-ray films of bones should be obtained on suspicion  of acute <strong>osteomylitis </strong>.radiological manifestations such as raising of periosteum may not be apparent for several days after the onset of illness.<br />
<strong>6. Malaria: </strong>With the resurgence of malaria in most developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America, it should always be considered in differential diagnosis. Although fever in malaria is classically intermittent and relapsing,, it may present in an atypical manner especially in children in endemic areas.<br />
<strong>7.Typhoid fever: </strong>Typhoid fever is endemic in most tropical and subtropical countries, with poor standards of sanitation and personal hygiene. Exanthems of typhoid fever (rose spots) are usually evanescent and may be missed in dark skinned individuals. Classical step ladder pattern onset, with sustained character of temperature are not always present. Most patients have distended tympanitic abdomen.<br />
Other causes of short duration fever. JTeat hyperpyrexia, . dehydration jgver,   allergy   to   drug   (drug   fever), thromboembolic phenomena and hemolytic crisis are other less common causes of short fevers.<br />
<strong>8. Heat hyperpyrexia:</strong> Heat hyperpyrexia is not an unusual cause of fever in tropical countries where ambient temperature may go as high as 45°C. Heat hyperpyrexia may occur even without exposure of the child to the direct sunlight. The predisposing factors include high temperature and humidity  in the  environment,  unsuitable clothing,dehydration and debilitating illness, such as malaria, pneumonia, measles and renal disorders. Invariably, heat hyperpyrexia is associated with cessation of sweating. Children with ectodermal dysplasia and absence of sweat glands are more prone to develop episodes of heat Tvyperpyrexia.<br />
The onset of high fever may be quite sudden. The rectal temperature may exceed 42°C to 43°C. The skin appears hot and dry (without sweating). Tachycardia and tachypnea are present. The loss of consciousness occurs early. The patient may develop peripheral circulatory failure and hemorrhages. Headache, faintness, abdominal discomfort and delirium are usually complained of. The liver and kidney failure may complicate heat hyperpyrexia?<br />
<strong>Fever in young infants below 3 months of age. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Fever in young</strong> infants may be trivial, self limited due to a viral illness or may be due to severe bacterial sepsis. Young infants are potentially immuno compromised and thus more predisposed to invasive bacteremia. It is difficult to accurately assess them neurologically because of neurologic immaturity.<br />
Infants with diminished spontaneous activity, lethargy, respiratory compromise (tachypnea, retraction and grunting), diminished muscle tone, mottled cool extremities, irritability, weak sucking are at high risk. They must be evaluated for sepsis by complete blood count, lumbar puncture, blood culture, and chest radiograph. Apart from pneumococcus, Hemophilus influenzae, enterococci and Neisseria meningitidis, group B streptococcal infections are a major cause of bacterial infections at this age period.</p>

<p><strong>Thalassemia Minor</strong> is the mildest form of the illness. The individuals may be heterozygous and inheriting only one mutant or p-thal gene, which limits the synthesis of beta-peptide chains. Or they may have inherited a genetically distinct abnormality of p-globin chain which produces a milder disease. The gene for alpha chain synthesis is normal. There is usually compensatory increase in delta chain synthesis, leading to levels of Hb A2 being higher than normal. Hemoglobin A2 may be markedly reduced with co-existing iron-deficiency anemia.<br />
Increase in the level of hemoglobin F is inconstant. Production of hemoglobin A is only slightly reduced.<br />
<strong>Thalassemia Minor</strong> patients have only a very mild anemia, sometimes with abdominal pain and mild icteric, tinge. Thalassemia minor is often confused with iron deficiency anemia and is treated as such, till the correct diagnosis is suspected. Serum iron concentration is on the higher side and iron binding capacity is reduced. Free erythrocyte porphyrin is normal in thalassemia minor (30 microgram/dL of whole blood). This is moderately raised in iron deficiency anemia (30 to 190 ug/ dL of whole blood). This is a useful diagnostic test to differentiate iron deficiency states from thalassemia minor and lead poisoning.<br />
<strong>ALPHA-THALASSEMIA-HEMOGLOBIN H DISEASE</strong><br />
The synthesis of alpha-peptide chains is suppressed. Defective alpha chain synthesis effects the production of all the normal hemoglobin viz., A, A2 and F. Four beta-peptide chains polymerise to a tetrameric form giving rise to hemoglobin H. Heterozygous alpha thalassemia is usually very mild and is often not associated with any regular alteration in the hemoglobin pattern in the adult life.<br />
There are possibly two alleles for alpha-thalassemia gene viz., alpha-thalassemia1 causing complete inhibition of alpha chain synthesis and alpha-thai2 causing only impaired synthesis of alpha chains.<br />
Alpha-thalassemia is most prevalent in the countries of South East Asia. The infant is usually normal at birth.</p>
<p><strong>TREATMENT OF THALASSEMIA</strong><br />
<strong>Blood transfusion</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1128" title="blood transfusion" src="http://www.healthpapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/blood-transfusion-235x300.jpg" alt="blood transfusion" width="235" height="300" /></strong></p>
<p>The mainstay of managing these cases is repeated blood transfusions. An attempt should be made to maintain hemoglobin level above 10-12 g/dL (by hyper transfusion) to ensure active life and adequate growth. Group and type specific, fresh, triple saline washed, packed red cell transfusions are the most desired form of component therapy. These are to be transfused at the rate of 10-15 ml/kg every 2 to 3 weeks. Blood transfusions may result in hemolytic or febrile reactions, transmission of viral infections (HIV1 &amp; 2, Hepatitis B and C, Cytomegalovirus) and iron overload. Routine donor screening for these viral infections is a must. All thalassemics should be vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine before starting transfusions. Iron overload results in multiple organ dysfunction due to hemosiderosis and hemochromatosis. Chronic anemia itself is a potent stimulator of iron absorption from the gut. Iron overload can be reduced by regular chelation therapy and reducing iron absorption by keeping the hemoglobin levels high.<br />
<strong>Neocyte transfusion</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Special cell separators are available for obtaining younger cells with longer life span (neocytes). Infusion of these cells instead of the whole blood increases interval between two transfusions and decreases the transfusion requirement and hence the iron load. Simultaneous removal of older cells (gerocytes) from patient&#8217;s circulation by pheresis technique reduces iron load considerably. However, these procedurs are cumbersome, costly and need a lot of expertise.<br />
<strong>Chelation therapy</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1127" title="chelation therapy" src="http://www.healthpapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/chelation-therapy.jpg" alt="chelation therapy" width="198" height="196" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>At present only desferrioxamine is available as iron chelating agent in parenteral form. It should be given as continuous subcutaneous infusion in the dose of 25-50 mg/kg/day over a period of 8-12 hours, during the night, by specially designed microinfusion pumps, (at least 5-6 nights per week). The chelation should start by 12-14th transfusion. 100 mg of vitamin C daily should be concurrently administered. Overdose of desferrioxamine results in growth retardation, visual and auditory toxicity. Cataracts have been noted in some children on long term desferrioxamine therapy. Deferiprone (DFP) is an effective oral iron chelating agent with minimal toxicity. It is given in a dose of 75 mg/kg/day in 2-4 divided doses. The most common side-effect is arthropathy. Other oral chelators include pyridoxine hydrazine, HBED and desferrothiocine. These are still under trials.</p>
<h3><strong>Splenectomy</strong></h3>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1126" title="Splenectomy" src="http://www.healthpapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Splenectomy-239x300.jpg" alt="Splenectomy" width="239" height="300" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Splenectomy</strong> is recommended in cases when the transfusion requirement exceeds 250 ml/kg/year of packed red cells. The decision should be deferred as far as possible and if required delayed beyond the age of five years.</p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 480px; width: 1px; height: 1px;">Hemoglobin H is unstable and it precipitates easily, especially in the older red cells. The red cells become rigid and their cell membrane is damaged. These cells cannot readily pass through the reticuloendothelial system where they are fragmented and destroyed, thus, leading to a sudden drop in the hemoglobin level.<br />

<p>This disease is caused by a RNA virus.The polio virus is the smallest known virus.This virus can be affected either through nasal membrane to the olfactory nerves or through food or water.This virus multiplies in the intestine wall and spreads in the body through blood strain. The virus destroys the dorsal horn cells of the spinal cord which controls the activities of the muscles.Without these impulses the fails to work and thus gets shrinks and so the limbs get paralyzed.Thu the patient cannot walk without support.When the respiratory centers of medulla are destroyed by the viruses the breathing fails.this disease is regarded as a disease of infancy and childhood exclusively.Due to these reasons this disease is called infantile paralysis.But now this disease may occur at any stages.It may also spread through contaminated diseases or flies or insects that may contaminate the food.As some symptoms resembles to the same symptoms of fever the diagnosis is not favorable.The incubation period of polio virus is from 7-14 days.The main symptoms are stiffness and pain in the neck and back bone.If the virus enter in  to the Central nervous system causes varying degrees of paralysis. immunization is the effective way of preventing polio myelitis.Salk and Sabin had developed vaccine for polio myelitis.The function of this vaccines is to increase an individual resistance and decreases the total number of cases of polio infection.Due to all these reasons there is no specific cure for polio myelitis.Right intake of <strong>Polio Vaccine</strong> at the right time can prevent polio,so be aware of that and save your child.</p>
