Those are the questions researchers wanted to answer when they sifted through more than eight years worth of reports on every patient from every hospital in Virginia given a diagnosis of ischemic stroke; that’s the type of stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain. The results indicate that patients admitted on weekends were just as likely to survive as those admitted on weekdays. What’s more, the weekend patients were more likely to be treated with a clot busting drug called tissue plasminogen activators (tPA). tPA treatment is recommended if it can be given within three hours of the patient’s first discernible stroke symptoms. The data couldn’t tell researchers exactly why patients admitted on weekends were more likely to get the recommended tPA treatment, although some possible reasons might be that patients are more likely to quickly go to the hospital on weekends, or perhaps hospitals aren’t as busy on weekends as they are during the week.

There are number of Scar Tissue Therapy available online for products containing tea tree oil, alpha-hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, or benzyl peroxide etc.

These are some of the more common dermatological lasers and their common in scar tissue therapy applications.

Some laser dermatologists will own and operate several of these instruments while some clinics may only own one or two particular lasers.

Lasers have helped open up a whole new field of skin treatments and have also helped to make previously performed scars tissue therapy procedures faster.

And often less painful with much shorter recovery times and decreased chance of complications.

Scar Tissue Therapy is such a great concern for many patients.

Scar tissue therapy method involves detaching the acne scar from the deeper tissues which lets a pool of blood to form under the acne scar and clot.

The blood basically helps in the formation of connective tissues under the scar so that the acne scar area comes up level with the skin surface.

Dermatology procedures such as dermabrasion and filling injections can help fill in acne scars and resurface your skin.

However, this Scar Tissue Therapy procedure is somewhat invasive.

And in the case of dermatology, you will experience bleeding and need at least one week for recovery time after the surgery.

Today, with the courtesy of scar tissue therapy product manufacturers.

A variety of new products are there at your disposal that heal almost all ailments mentioned in dermatology science.

Even though DVT itself is not life-threatening, the blood clot has the potential to break free and travel through the bloodstream, where it can become lodged in the blood vessels of the lung (known as a pulmonary embolism). This can be a life-threatening condition.

DVT can also lead to complications in the legs referred to as chronic venous insufficiency link (also known as post-thrombotic syndrome). This condition is characterized by pooling of blood, chronic leg swelling, increased pressure, increased pigmentation or discoloration of the skin, and leg ulcers known as venous stasis ulcer.
The goals of treatment are to reduce symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. Your healthcare provider will recommend the treatment option that is right for you. Before choosing any treatment, it is important to discuss the potential benefits, risks and side effects with your healthcare provider. You will receive specific guidelines to help you prepare for your procedure, as well as specific instructions to help your recovery.

The majority of treatments related to MTS are actually geared toward treating the DVT that is associated with the vein compression. The following are a number of different options that may be employed to treat patients presenting with DVT.

Plenty of evidence now shows that the state of your teeth and gums have a serious impact on your overall health, writes DR MERVYN DRUIAN. Gum disease, for example, is linked to a raised risk of heart disease, stroke and premature birth. Here’s why you should make sure you are up-to-date with your dental appointments.

HEART DISEASE

It sounds unlikely, but bad teeth, bleeding gums and poor dental hygiene can end up causing heart disease.

Several studies confirm a link between gum disease and atherosclerosis, a narrowing of the blood vessels that can lead to heart attack.

The problem is that bleeding gums provide an entry into the blood for up to 700 different types of bacteria found in the mouth. Microbiologists at the University of Bristol have discovered that when bacteria get into the bloodstream, they stick to tiny fragments called platelets, causing them to clot.

This can lead to partial blockages of blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and heart attack.

So it does not matter how fit, slim or healthy you are, your chances of getting heart disease are increased by having bad teeth.

STROKE

Brush your teeth well and floss regularly to protect your brain. Poor tooth brushing and bleeding, infected gums raises your risk of stroke in the same way as it does heart disease – by allowing bacteria into the bloodstream.

A study published in the journal Stroke found that stroke risk increases with the severity of gum disease. Astonishingly, those with severe gum disease had more than four times the risk of suffering a stroke than those with mild gum disease.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Research has long associated oral health with a raised risk of dementia, although studies have not made it clear how the state of the teeth affect mental function.

Last year, researchers found a link between mild memory loss and gum disease. A major health grant, welcomed by the British Dental Health Foundation, has recently been given to help scientists study this link.

OBESITY

Bacteria in our mouths could play a direct part in causing obesity.

A study in the Journal of Dental Research found that one species of bacteria – selenomona noxia – was present at above-average levels in all overweight women. Whether or not this bacteria helps to cause obesity or hinders weight loss is being researched.

DIABETES

Last month, research published from a study at New York University showed that the overwhelming majority of gumdisease sufferers were also found to be at high risk of developing diabetes. The link was so strong and significant that researchers concluded that dentists should offer diabetes screenings in their practices.

PREMATURE BIRTH

Pregnant women with high levels of oral bacteria linked to tooth decay and cavities are at risk of giving birth to lowweight or premature babies.

The study, in the Journal of Periodontology, adds to a growing body of research which shows a link between a pregnant woman’s oral health and the health of her newborn.

Dr Dasanayake, professor of Dentistry at New York University, who conducted the research, hypothesises that cariescausing bacteria can travel to the uterus in the blood, where they trigger a reaction that leads to contractions and early birth.

The good news is that research at Columbia University College found that dental care before or during pregnancy can significantly lower the risk of premature birth.

TIPS FOR HEALTHY GUMS…

Research indicates that inflammation of the gums and bleeding – which allows oral bacteria to spread around the body in the blood – is linked to a raised risk of serious health problems.

Unfortunately, gum disease is common, yet unless severe, it often goes unnoticed. In mild gum disease, you may have inflamed gums but little bleeding.

Only once it gets worse do people tend to take notice. At this stage, your risk of health problems elsewhere is already higher. Meanwhile, the infection in your gums will be causing gum recession and bone loss, increasing the risk of cavities and tooth loss.

Good gum health is maintained through regular tooth brushing – twice daily – and tooth flossing, ideally after every meal to remove food trapped between your teeth. Crucially, you should see a dental hygienist every six months.

Professional tooth cleaning removes plaque, calcified deposits that build up on teeth and beneath the gums. Preventing the build- up of this plaque is vital as bacteria thrive on it.

Left in place, even thorough tooth brushing and flossing is unlikely to keep your gums healthy.

HSC 334 – A deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that develops in a deep vein, usually in the leg. DVT is a very common condition, which affects about 2 million Americans every year. Certain genetic risk factors as well as acquired risk factors make a DVT more likely to occur. If a deep vein thrombosis is suspected, tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis. But DVT can lead to a life threatening condition, called Pulmonary Embolism, a blood clot in the lungs. See how DVT can be detected and treated early, and how Pulmonary Embolism can be avoided.
