Stuffy the salivary canal
July 1, 2011 | 
Author Stone channel clogged saliva is a type of salivary gland disorders. During eating, saliva (spit) produced salivary glands in the mouth. The chemicals in saliva can crystallize into a stone that can block channels saliva. When saliva can not exit from the blocked canal, causing pain and swelling of the gland. Submandibular gland, in the back of the mouth on either side of the jaw, usually the most often clogged.
Symptoms
- Swelling of the face or neck
- Pain in the face or mouth
- Dry mouth
Treatment
The goal is to remove the stone. Health care provider or dentist may be able to push the stone out of the channel. In some cases, the stone may need to cut through the surgery.
Saliva Gland Disorders
Salivary gland disorders refer to conditions that cause swelling or pain in the saliva-producing tissues around the mouth. Saliva also contains enzymes that initiate and facilitate the process of digestion. Another function of the saliva is clean rinse the mouth from bacteria and food particles.
Symptoms
In the salivary gland disorders are often found in symptoms such as swelling of the face, swelling of the ear, pain in the face, difficulty opening the mouth, and dry mouth.
Treatment
Salivary gland disorders can be prevented as well as treated with many consuming such as sour candies. In addition to the massage of the salivary glands that can improve the flow and help prevent infection.

Right side chest pain
Maybe you’ve felt the pain in the chest to the right. Many possibilities that occur because of this sign. Pain that occurs can be caused by a variety of causes, can be from muscle or bone, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, or it could also because of psychological problems.
Pain due to muscle and bone problems usually arise when the section is pressed, or appear to change position. Painful as it improves with e.g paracetamol or other anti-inflammatory drug.
The nature of pain is probably derived from the problem muscle / bone or can also be from the lung or pleura (the membranes covering the lungs). As already mentioned before pain from the muscle / bone usually occurs because of changes in position, while the pain of the pleura are usually associated with intake of breath. Usually the problem of the pleura is not because of smoking, but there is infection there
Pain due to lung problems usually associated with breath, and accompanied by other complaints such as fever, cough, or shortness.
Pain due to digestive tract in the chest area commonly associated with organ stomach (gastritis) or esophagus (throat). It could also cause an acid or bitter taste in the mouth, and heartburn. This pain can be reduced with the award of the stomach or ulcer medications.
Symptoms typical for complaints of pain of heart disease is chest pain left a heavy object is described as crushed, pressed, or squeezed, the pain lasted 2-5 minutes, radiating to left shoulder and both arms, especially on the surface of the hand and forearm. Pain also can penetrate into the back, base of the neck, jaw, teeth, and gut. Such pain is called angina.
Chest pain can also be caused by psychological problems, but just think if these other problems can be removed. Complaints of chest pain in young people is rarely caused by heart disease, more frequent because of muscle or bone problems. These complaints can be reduced by consuming a multivitamin and such as paracetamol.
To prevent the occurrence of pain in the chest, it would be nice if quit smoking. Smoking causes more losses than gains. Cigarettes can cause lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), impotence (impotence), coronary heart disease, and so forth.
Peace With Uric Acid
Rheumatoid Arthiritis or are familiar with gout disease layman’s terms, is one of the most common rheumatic disease. Not only the elderly but can also be about a young age. You are experiencing is definitely difficult disease to undergo daily activities with her no pain, joint deformity, and might have given up and use a wheelchair. The tips below can help you to reduce the symptoms and can live their daily activities without hampered by rheumatism.
- Consult your rheumatoid arthritis by rheumatology specialists. It is very important to determine which treatment is right for you. If you’ve got the right treatment, still go on drugs according to indication.
- Do not hesitate to ask for help from others when experiencing pain or other.
- Stay exercise. Exercise is one important thing to keep you moving. When you move the joints, you have to keep your joints strong and flexible
- Use this tool if necessary. For the elderly are advised to use the stick on the sore joints. Also use shoe that suits your foot. By using a shoe that suits your support will reduce the pain and falls.
- Get plenty of rest. The researchers recommend that if you sleep enough to mecegah fatigue and pain.
- Eat healthy foods. There is still much research being undertaken on the relationship of food and rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatism). You are encouraged to eat foods low in fat and calories, rich in fruits, vegetables and wheat.
- Hot and cold therapy. Hot and cold therapy is recommended to relieve pain and increase mobility while at rigid joints. hot compresses can reduce muscle tension and blood circulation. Meanwhile, a cold compress can reduce inflammation and swelling and helps reduce pain.
15% Stroke Occurred While Sleeping
Researchers from the University of Cincinnati reveals a worrying statistic. According to data collected, nearly 15 percent of strokes occur when the patient is asleep. As a result, the risk of brain damage the greater because patients can not get proper care in quick time.
As is known, doctors usually give the treatment referred to as tissue palsminogen activator (tpa) for patients with stroke, in the first few hours after the attack. However, if treatment is slower, then the potential occurrence of various complications in patients greater. Patients should receive care first few hours after a stroke occurs.
Researchers conducted observations of more than 1850 patients aged 18 years and over in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region, the United States. From observation, it was revealed that 273 patients had a stroke when they were asleep.
“Despite very difficult to know exactly when a stroke occurs, call for emergency medical personnel is essential, ” said Azizi Ausim, researchers from Temple University School of Medicine.
Whatever happens, the best thing to do is go to the hospital. “Currently there is imaging technology that can be used to indicate whether there is brain tissue that is not totally dead and could be saved,” he said.
Overview of Chickenpox
(varicella, chickenpox) is a contagious viral infection
which cause skin rashes in the form of a set of small spots a flat or protruding, fluid-filled blisters and scab, that cause itching.
CAUSE
The reason is the varicella-zoster virus. The virus is transmitted through saliva splashing people with or through objects contaminated by fluid from the skin blisters. Patients can transmit the disease from onset of symptoms
until the last blister has dried. Therefore, for prevent infection, patients should be isolated (sequestered).
If someone has had chickenpox, then he would have immunity and will not suffer from chicken pox again. But the virus
can remain dormant in the human body, and sometimes become active again and cause shingles
SYMPTOMS
Symptoms begin to occur within 10-21 days after infection. In children aged over 10 years, the first symptom of
headache, fever and feeling of being unwell. The symptoms are are not usually found in children younger symptoms
adults are usually more severe.
24-36 hours after the onset of initial symptoms, red spots appear flat (macular). Then the prominent spots (papules), formed fluid-filled blisters (vesicles) that feels itchy, which will eventually dry. This process takes time for 6-8 hours. Next will spots are formed and new blisters. On the fifth day, usually no more blisters formed new, all the blisters will dry up and disappear on the sixth day in less than 20 days.
Parkinson threatening diabetic
The diabetic patients affected by complications of Parkinson’s disease threatened. Risk of disease that causes stiffness of the motion is most experienced diabetes who are still young.
Results of research published in the journal Diabetes Care adds scientific evidence about diabetes with Parkinson’s disease. One of the studies say adults have diabetes are at risk of developing Parkinson’s disease within 15 years compared with people who are not diabetic.
The team of researchers from Denmark say diabetes and Parkinson’s disease may be caused by basically the same thing.
They compared 2,000 patients with Parkinson’s Adult 10,000 people the same age but not with Parkinson’s disease (control group).
In general, 6.5 percent of patients with Parkinson’s have had diabetes for 2 years before they were diagnosed with a disease marked by tremors and muscle stiffness this. In comparison, only 5 percent of people from the control group who had diabetes for 2 years earlier.
The study also showed diabetes increased the risk threefold to suffer from Parkinson’s. The results obtained after the researchers included factors of age, sex and smoking habits.
In general, more common in Parkinson’s elderly age (60 years), but their diabetes is usually diagnosed Parkinson’s at a younger age.
Despite a big risk, but researchers stressed that diabetes does not mean that people must get Parkinson’s. For example, in the United States, the proportion of people suffering from Parkinson’s to diabetes is only 0.8 percent and 0.5 percent in people who are not diabetes.
How does diabetes lead to Parkinson’s itself has not been known clearly. But researchers suspect inflammation around the body will cause damage to cells. Another factor is genetic.

Herpes Disease
Herpes Disease is a disease is a temporary interruption (temporary) and can generally be prevented by everyone. As one of the venereal disease transmission through the oral and genital herpes. herpes virus that is composed of 2 types of herpes simplex type 1 and herpes simplex type 2.
Herpes simplex type 1, commonly infects the inside and around the mouth, whereas herpes simplex type 2, usually on the genitals (genitals), so is also called herpes genitalis.
Herpes symptoms similar to flu symptoms ie with the first body temperature will increase, pain in the throat, dizziness, fatigue and so on are common also occur in the fever. The symptoms that follow the herpes in the first phase of that, which is usually often bring severe pain, because the immune system in patients themselves or the person who contracts it, generally it is not ready to fight infection arises.
In the second phase would appear small blisters-blisters in rows on the skin surface, accompanied by a burning sensation and itching, which is sometimes so painful, unbearable to not scratch it. Herpes can be quicker occur if skin is irritated (the wounds or blisters), such as sex can also cause genital herpes, if there are cuts / abrasions on genetalia organs (male or female genitals).
How to Avoid Herpes
To avoid sexually transmitted diseases Sex, the easiest is to not have sex with a partner who had been infected with STDs. But this is certainly not easy to do. Below we try to convey prevention efforts are as follows:
* Always maintain hygiene (cleanliness / health) genetalia organ (or male and female genitals on a regular basis.
* Faithful to her partner, with no multiple partners.
* Do not forget to use condoms, if your partner already infected with STDs
* Ask a new syringe every time you receive medical services using a syringe

Cholesterol Disease
Cholesterol is actually one component of fat. As we know, fat is one of the nutrients that are needed by our bodies in addition to other nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Fat is one energy source that provides the highest calories. Besides, as one source of energy, actually fat or cholesterol in particular is a substance that is needed by our bodies, especially to form the walls of cells in the body. Cholesterol is also the base material forming the steroid hormones. But when excess cholesterol in the body will be buried within the walls of blood vessels and cause a condition called atherosclerosis is the narrowing or hardening of blood vessels. This condition is a precursor of heart disease and stroke.
Cholesterol we need it, normally produced by the body in the right amount. But he could be increased in number due to external food derived from animal fats, eggs and so-called junk foods.
What happens in the body?
The elements consist of fats in the blood cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and free fatty acids. Only a quarter of the cholesterol contained in the blood comes directly from the digestive tract is absorbed from food, the rest is produced by the body’s own liver cells.
Fats found in foods will be broken down into cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and free fatty acids when digested in the gut. The four elements of this fat will be absorbed from the intestine and enter the blood. Cholesterol and other fats element does not dissolve in blood. To be transported in the bloodstream, cholesterol along with other fats (triglycerides and phospholipids) must bind to proteins to form an insoluble compound and called lipoprotein
Chylomicrons is liprotein transporting fat into the liver. In the liver, fat ties will be outlined, forming the four elements of the fat, and fatty acids that form will be used as an energy source or if the amount of excess will be stored in fatty tissue. When cholesterol intake is inadequate, the liver cells will produce it. From the liver, cholesterol is transported by a lipoprotein called LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) to be brought into the body cells that require including the heart muscle cells, brain and others in order to function properly.
Excess cholesterol will be transported back by lipoproteins called HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) to take precautionary and it will be described and then dumped into the gall bladder as an acid (liquid) bile.
LDL contains more fat than LDL so that it will float on in the development of blood. The main proteins that form of LDL is apo-B (apolipoprotein-B). LDL is considered as the fats are “bad” cholesterol because it can cause sticking in the walls of blood vessels. Conversely HDL-called good fats because in operation it clear excess cholesterol from blood vessel walls to transport it back to the liver. The main proteins that form of HDL is Apo-A (apolipoprotein). HDL has less fat content and have high density or heavier.
How does cholesterol cause blockages in blood vessels?
Excessive cholesterol in the blood will be easily attached to the inner wall of blood vessels. Furthermore, LDL will penetrate the walls of blood vessels through endothelial cell layers, into the lining of blood vessel walls more in the intima. The smaller size of LDL or the higher density of LDL, the easier it is to infiltrate into the Iintima. LDL so-called small dense LDL.
LDL that had infiltrated into the intima will oxidize the first phase to form the oxidized LDL. -oxidized LDL will spur the formation of substances that can attach and attract monocytes (a type of white blood cells) through endothelial layer and into the intima in addition to LDL-oxidation also produces substances that can change the monocytes that had entered into the intima into macrophages.
Meanwhile-oxidized LDL oxidation second stage will have to be perfect oxidized LDL that can convert macrophages into foam cells. Foam cells are formed will bind together to form lumps that grew so great that form lumps that cause narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels
This situation will worsen because oxidized LDL perfect will also stimulates the muscle cells lining blood vessels in the deeper (the media) to enter the intima layer and then will split apart so that an increasing number of self.
The above description shows that the occurrence of blockages in blood vessels is not as easy as we imagine. High cholesterol levels need to watch out because it is a precursor process of blood vessel blockage, especially if the LDL cholesterol level is elevated, which we know as fat “evil”. If we see the formation mechanism of blockage of blood vessels above, LDL more dangerous when having a small size with high density or what is known as small-dense LDL.

Obesitas
Obesity is a condition in which there is excess fat in the body. The standard definition of obesity and overweight visits based on body mass index (BMI). BMI is measured in weight and height ((weight/height (kg/m2)). Obesity can increase the mortality (death rate), a person with a life-threatening chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart disease and blood vessels, gall bladder, hormone sensitivity and gastrointestinal cancer.
Obesity can increase the mortality (death rate), a person with a life-threatening chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart and blood vessel disease, gall bladder, hormone sensitivity and gastrointestinal cancer. Risk is also increased in conditions that are not fatal, such as low back pain, arthritis, infertility, and psychosocial disorders.
Strategies to lose weight should do the modification of diet, physical activity, habits and avoid stress. The recommended diet is eating in moderation, reduce food consumption of foods containing carbohydrates and fats. Approximately 55-65% of carbohydrates consumed from the total energy. Fruits, vegetables, wheat and reproduced, and reduce the consumption of alcohol.
One factor that is no less important for weight-loss program is to increase physical activity daily. Physical activity is recommended for obesity is not too heavy activity such as walking and up and down stairs. Activities that low to moderate intensity are recommended. For example, walking, cycling, swimming and so forth.
If already implementing lifestyle changes above, but still does not work, can consult your doctor for treatment with drugs or other action (surgery).
The indicator is important for doctors to give drugs were:
• Other weight loss methods fail
• Body mass index (BMI) over 27 and have medical complications of obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apneu.
• Your BMI over 30
There are two prescription drugs that have been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for long-term treatment of obesity. Namely;
• Sibutramine. These drugs alter the neural in your brain, which makes you feel full faster. Side effects of this drug increases blood pressure, headache, dry mouth, constipation and insomnia.
• Orlistat (Xenical). How these drugs work is to prevent the absorption of fat in your gut. Fats are not absorbed will be disposed of with feces. Side effects that arises is an increase in bowel movements. Because these drugs will also absorb nutrients other than fat, your doctor will recommend taking a multivitamin.
If you’ve done above, but treatment is not successful, then the administration of surgery can be an option. Operations considered if;
• Body mass index (BMI) of your 40 or more
• Your BMI 35 to 39.9 and you have other related complications such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Gastric bypass surgery, which will change the anatomy of the digestive tract to control the entry of food you eat. The surgeon will make a pouch at the top of the stomach that will be connected with the small intestine. So the food intake, directly toward the bag and directly into the small intestine. Gastric juices will remain out to help destroy the food.
This action can cause side effects such as pneumonia, blood clots and infection can occur. Losing weight too quickly will result in gallstones, hernias (in place of slaughter). Gastric bypass can also cause dumping syndrome, a condition in which stomach contents too quickly into the small intestine, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and sweating.
