Me if you can recognize a stroke happens when I immediately in an emergency department within 3 hours that you have a very good opportunity for the whole recovery. If you can not immediately identify a stroke may be the consequences, and serious threats the brain injury.

Hair Loss

I had never been seen as selfish and materialistic. At present, I consider myself very low economic and modest. Only the clothes or the management of a luxury car is not ever consider something that I important. Do not get me wrong, I do not sell stock and drive a decent car (Honda Civic), but not sure when I look at a question. For this reason, perhaps for that hair is not something that will have major consequences, not only in my life, but I believe that I and the general welfare. However, it has been, and will remain for a long, long time.

I can still remember when the older brother is my only 1.5 years older than me to the school from when I was 21. I have not seen in over three years, and by the time they lose a part of your hair. Let me tell you that the care of my fear! Therefore, I decided right then fell into the same fate, and I began to resolve.

There are a number of options when it comes to healing or leave it. We medicines foam / cream, and additional surgery. I have a problem with them. I think the drug is dangerous as long-term effectiveness and can cause damage to the liver. Foams and cream is boring and difficult, but usually a surgery and surgery! Finally, additives are not guaranteed. So, what is a boy to do? All I can do is my experience and what worked for me.

I tried the foam around the years. Biggest problem is my difficult circumstances. I can not attest to see it works or not, simply because I do not think it an equal opportunity. However, you need to put foam in the same time each day and hour before bedtime. Yes, at that time I have learned and are responsible enough, Sober enough together for 3 hours before bedtime is not my cup of tea. So, go ahead. My first and most successful is probably the one product pill. This is the most successful, simply because to me it is used so long. I Propecia costs about $ 50 a month and had a pill every day. From what I remember, I think some of their hair loss during the first few months. After that, it works very well. Only reason you decided to stop as she worried for the liver. I do not think the research that says that Propecia can cause damage to liver, but my wife is a belief in natural resources and medicines are drugs bad for you. This additional move. I have tried all different kinds, but exclude a site that detailed analysis of different options here.

My favorite is the top of this page. Additives used in about 2 years and has not been established to increase my hair, but not at least, I was not signed by the loss of hair. Also, my wife and I feel safer knowing that the natural methods.

The Use of Iodine

Iodine has long been used as an antibacterial agent and skin disinfectant. It was opened in 1811 and has achieved widespread during the civil war in the U.S., where it has been abundantly used to treat wounded soldiers. In the original form of this iodine causing pain and inflammation in the implementation of wounds, it has been shown to affect the functions of cells involved in healing wound up, and it is not the answer may have the effect of skin color.

Since the end of 1940, a newer, safer, less painful and formulations of iodine in the form iodophors put into use. These products maintain a low level of iodine, which are associated with proteins, fatty acids and nucleotides. These products have an extended activity against bacteria, Mycobacterium, fungi and protozoa.

Cadexomer iodine is a slow release of antimicrobial is likely to exceed eksudat of wounds, while maintaining long-term maintenance of the level of iodine in the wound bed. Cadexomer both iodine is available as an ointment and dressing. In this study, which has been shown to be effective in reducing the number of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is estimated that 1 grams of iodine Cadexomer can be absorbed as much as 7 ml of liquid. In the release of iodine is slowly being absorbed iodine, which helps to reduce bacteria while downloading debriding of wounds. It requires moisture to activate. Unlike iodine povidone iodine bandages message that immediately after implementation, maintenance release of iodine from iodine bandages cadexomer not induce cytotoxic effects.

Studies show that iodine cadexomer is effective in treating chronic ulcers, however, one of the side effects serious potential use of iodine for treating wounds as potential places to iodine. Therefore, thyroid function should be monitored for use in patients treated for this long period of time. In addition, iodine can negatively interact with lithium, and should be used with caution in patients with those of lithium at the same time. Iodine should not be used simultaneously as mercurial antiseptics, such as mercurochrome.

Developed by concerns over increasing resistance to antibiotics-born, cadexomer iodine is an effective replacement for the treatment of chronic wounds. Reports of resistance iodine is scarce, despite the fact that iodine was used for 150 years. Cadexomer iodine can be safely used on most patients (provided they are not very sensitive to iodine) and provided good coverage of the bacteria, Mycobacterium, fungi and protozoa, and as effective against MRSA.

The Transplant Symptoms

This is a story that leads to liver transplantation. Liver Transplantation is a problem that the field of health has improved in the large liver is the body to create. If you are a part of it will rise to nearly the size of its original. I was happy and now I'm here to talk.

I have a tree in March 2005. 7 years I started feeling more tired during the day and take a NAP. This worsens and worsens. I think I should see a psychiatrist. I was beginning to be lazy. I already have a store open. I work all night, sometimes left her to go to work now, because I was napping during the day.

One of my work, I feel sick on a trip to the plumber. I had to stop and lay down in the car that I feel bad. To me when I started coughing up red stuff. I was working and needed to get work. I asked Todd (my friend) if you need to go to the doctor after we had completed that day. Now we have to hospital. So, what in a week, I was not that salty diet from liquids in the buildings. I thought I was cured.

Especially one night I was very sore in my stomach area. This is worse and worse, as in the past three days. I was buckled in pain. My friend and colleague Todd for me to emergency room to reduce pain. They give me pain, but when one of the test function of the liver I realize that more.

A liver specialist was sent to search the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He was back with good news and bad news. The good news is to determine what is wrong. The bad news is I have a rare disease called PSC. I will need liver transplant. This is not genetic, is one of happiness. It will have 7 / 10 years before you need a tree, I say. I need a tree after 3 years. That the disease does not affect my kidney, I said that I will never be on top of the transplant list. I will be a donor directly to life. Who will have almost the same size and blood type, among others. Sponsors will have the same pain I work for half his liver.

Brain Injury

Trauma is the most common cause of acquired brain injury in young people, especially, of course, there are other ways in the brain, which may take the trauma, stroke is especially common in middle age, then with rare diseases, such as infections and brain tumors. The brain is very sensitive to the amount of blood, so everything that prevents blood flow to the brain and reduces oxygen to the brain may be damaged. Poisons in the blood, such as carbon monoxide gas from your car can poison the brain. Finally, there is a treatment, they can obtain a better faith, which can damage the brain surgeon operating on the brain to remove the tumor may inadvertently cause harm to it, and radiation therapy, often used to treat cancers can damage the brain, and particularly among young people.

There are two guidelines for assessing the severity of brain trauma. The first is how the patient is unconscious, in its worst, which is measured by something called the Glasgow Coma Score, it is usually measured at 15, 15 is fully conscious, and three, how deep in the unconscious, as you can continue to be still alive. The Glasgow Coma Score has three levels in it, it's in response to movements of the eyes and open your eyes, another has to do with responses to the speech and the third is that in response to movement. These three levels of all, may be a number which gives you a complete picture. Generally speaking, any head injury in Glasgow Coma Score one to eight or less is classified as very serious brain injury.

The second thing, which is used to assess the severity of brain injury, if this is what is called post traumatic amnesia (PTA), which is the period when the memory of the incident ever returned. The PTA will not shrink, so if one month after head injury PTA person per hour, is still one hour a year later. The PTA has a very close relationship over time need to get back into work and is also a risk factor, as late traumatic epilepsy.

Temporal lobes, on both sides of the brain linked to memory, but also a contribution to the moods and emotions. The most devastating impact of severe weather damage to lobes with a loss of memory, especially short-term memory loss.

The occipital lobes at the back of the brain where vision is perceived. There are injured more frequently, acquired brain injury, but if they are damaged, can be very severe brain damage, the world sees.
In the cerebellum, in the back of the head, control, coordination of movement and muscle coordination of the larynx (voice box). If the injured victim will be clumsy with your hands and feet and their speech may be unclear and cumbersome, they may have difficulty in swallowing too.

One of the most obvious problems that may develop brain damage or weakness of arms or legs, lack of coordination of the hand or foot. Speech and language functions may be damaged, or in terms of getting the words, understand words, or just drive in the production of speech so that speech may become blurred or indistinct. Special senses (hearing, sight, smell and taste) are often damaged, in addition to smell, smell, when lost items delicate flavor is lost.

When it comes to recovery from brain injury is time. Time is for children already in the first 10 to 15 years of life. In essence, most recovery occurs during the first 18 months. A better way to search is that when someone reaches a plateau and remained on the platform, that for six months, it is not certain how they will stay.
