Someone said anemia when the concentration of hemoglobin (Hb) less than 13.5 g / dL or hematocrit (HCT) is less than 41% in men, and hemoglobin concentration of less than 11.5 g / dL or Hct is less than 36% in women.

Anemia makes the process of circulating red blood cells to be disrupted, so that the body is deprived of oxygen which is then processed into energy. From here already clear that the initial symptoms of anemia can be often feel tired, tongue and eyelids pale.

Risk for Aspiration related to GERD - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease   October 08, 2015

Nursing Care Plan for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
 
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease. GERD occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, stomach contents flowing back into the food pipe (esophagus). Backwash (reflux) irritate the lining of the esophagus and causes GERD.

Both disorders stomach acid and heartburn is a common digestive condition that many people experience from time to time.

Signs or symptoms of GERD:

• A burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), sometimes spreading to the throat, along with a sour taste in the mouth.
• Chest pain.
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).
• Dry cough.
• Hoarseness or sore throat.
• Regurgitation of food or sour liquid (acid reflux).
• Sensation of a lump in the throat.

Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)

Risk for aspiration related to barriers to swallow, decreased reflexes of the larynx and glottis to liquid reflux.

Goals: None of aspiration.

Expected outcomes:

• The client can breathe easy, normal breathing frequency.
• The client is able to swallow, chew without aspiration, and capable of performing oral hygiene.
• Patent airway, breathing easily, do not feel suffocated and no abnormal breath sounds.

Interventions:

• Monitor the level of consciousness, cough reflexes and the ability to swallow.
• Raise the head of 30-45 degrees after eating.
• Cut food into small pieces.
• Avoid eating when residue is still a lot.

Rationale:

• Increase the maximum lung expansion and airway clearance.
• Increase air filling the entire segment of the lung, mobilize and remove secretions.

Relationship Between Anxiety with Migraine

Relationship Between Anxiety with Migraine

Relationship Between Anxiety with Migraine   October 05, 2015

More than 100 years the relationship between psychological factors and headache studied.
Emotional factors often trigger a headache, especially migraine. Three types of headache is most often associated with psychological factors are studied in migraine more intensive compared than other forms.

Typically, migraine sufferers have a specific personality (perfect, ambitious, rigid) as a group, patients with migraine usually intelligence and perfectionist and they are people who are capable of facing the day-to-day crises. But in adaptation to life changes such as puberty, menstruation, separation from family and home, change jobs, marriage, parenthood, or get a high position, it turns out the ability to tackle problems that are usually good, being less well and therefore attack headache then arise.


Migraine

Migraine is a painful headache, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light.

The exact cause of migraines is unknown, although migraine related to changes in the brain and genetic causes. People with migraines may inherit the tendency to be affected certain migraine triggers, such as fatigue, bright lights, weather changes, and others.

For many years, scientists believed that migraines associated with the expansion and inhibition / constriction of blood vessels in the brain's surface. However, it is now believed that migraines are caused by inherited abnormalities in certain areas of the brain.

There are "central pain" migraine, or generator in the brain. Migraine begins when hyperactive nerve cells send impulses to the blood vessels, causing the blood vessels are prohibited or restricted, followed by dilation (expansion) and the release of prostaglandins, serotonin, and other inflammatory substances that cause painful pulse.

Most migraines seem to be triggered by external factors. Some triggers may include:

• Emotional stress. This is one of the most common triggers of headache / migraine. Migraine sufferers are generally highly affected by stressful events. During stressful events, certain chemicals in the brain are released to combat the situation (known as response "fight or retreat"). The release of these chemicals can provoke vascular changes that can cause migraines. Repressed emotions surrounding stress, such as anxiety, fear, excitement, and fatigue can increase muscle tension and dilation of blood vessels can increase the severity of migraine.
• Sensitivity to certain chemicals and preservatives in food. Food and beverages, such as aged cheese, alcoholic beverages, and food additives such as nitrates and monosodium glutamate may be responsible for triggering mingrain up to 30%.
• Caffeine. Excessive caffeine consumption or the effects of caffeine withdrawal can cause headaches when the caffeine level suddenly drops. The blood vessels seem to be sensitive to caffeine, and when caffeine is not ingested, a headache may occur. Caffeine itself is often helpful in treating acute migraine attacks.
• Changes in weather conditions. Storms, changes in air pressure, winds, or changes in altitude, all can trigger a migraine.
• Menstrual period.
• Overexertion.
• Skipping meals.
• Changes in normal sleep patterns.

The symptoms of migraine can occur in various combinations and include:

• Headache hitting or beating, which often begins as pain and develops into throbbing pain. The pain is usually aggravated by physical activity. The pain can shift from one side of the head to the other, or it can affect the front of the head or felt like illness affects the whole head.

• Nausea and vomiting, abdominal unwell, abdominal pain.
• Loss of appetite.
• The taste sensation that is very warm or cold.
• Paleness.
• Fatigue.
• Dizzy.
• Blurred vision.
• Diarrhea.
• Fever (rare).

Most migraines last about four hours despite severe can last up to a week. The frequency of migraines varies greatly between individuals. Common for a migraine sufferer to get a headache from two to four times per month. However, some people may have headaches every few days, while others only get a migraine once or twice a year.

Causes, Prevention, Signs and Symptoms of Gout

Causes, Prevention, Signs and Symptoms of Gout

Health Articles   October 04, 2015

Gout is a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines that are part of the food we eat. Abnormality in handling uric acid and crystallization of these compounds in the joints can cause attacks of painful arthritis, kidney stones, and blockage of the filtering process of the renal tubules with uric acid crystals, leading to kidney failure.

Acute gout attack is characterized by rapid onset / sudden pain in the affected joint followed by a warm feeling on touching the joints, swelling, redness, and pain. Small joints at the base of the big toe is the most commonly attacked. Other joints that can be affected include the ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows. In some people, the pain suddenly / acute so strong that even the sheets at the foot of causing severe pain. Painful attacks usually subside within a few hours or days, with or without medication. In rare cases, attacks can last for weeks. Most people with gout will experience repeated attacks of gout arthritis for many years.

Gout is nine times more common in men than in women. It mainly affects males after puberty, with a peak age of 75 years of age. In women, gout attacks usually occur after menopause.

Obesity, excessive weight, especially in youth, drinking moderate to severe, high blood pressure, and abnormal kidney function is one of the risk factors for developing gout. Drugs and certain diseases can also cause an increase in uric acid levels. Interestingly, a recent study showed an increased prevalence of abnormally low thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism) in patients with gout.

The base of the big toe joint is the most common site of an acute Gout attacks. These attacks can occur, except gout treated. See your doctor, even if you are sick rheumatism / gout has been lost. Over time, they can harm the joints, tendons, and other tissues.

Uric acid crystals in the finger joints and stiffness which result in painful inflammation.

People may experience gout by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints of their fingers. To reduce the pain of a gout attack, rest the painful joints.

Maintain adequate fluid intake helps prevent acute gout attacks and reduce the risk of kidney stone formation in people having gout. Alcohol is known to have diuretic effects that can cause water shortages and triggered an acute gout attack. Alcohol can also affect uric acid metabolism and cause hyperuricemia. This causes gout, therefore slowing spending uric acid from the kidneys as well as to cause shortage of liquid, which causes uric acid crystals to precipitate in the joints.

Dietary changes can help reduce uric acid levels in the blood. Because purine chemicals are converted by the body into uric acid, purine rich foods should be avoided. Foods rich in purines include shellfish and organ meats, such as liver, brain, and kidneys. Researchers have reported that meat or seafood consumption increases the risk of gout attacks, while dairy consumption seems to reduce this risk. Weight loss can help in lowering the risk of recurrent gout attacks.
