Toxoplasma

Talking about pregnancy, can not be separated also about infertility. There are newly married couples already contains some also have many years but has not been granted momongan. Finally, many thought the cause of sterility. Some say that cat fur can cause sterility, and so forth. Actually, that can cause barrenness of the parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite can cause the disease toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasma is a disease that affects animals and humans, male or female.

In animals, this toxoplasma disease could attack blooded animals heat, such as: dogs, cats, chickens, birds, horse, cattle, sheep, mice, sheep, tigers, pigs, and others. But the cat is considered as the cause of toxoplasma, because in the cat's body, Toxoplasma can reproduce in two ways, namely sexual (gamete micro and macro) and asexual (divide). Whereas in animals other than cats, toxoplasma can reproduce only by asexual means.

In humans the disease toxoplasmosis, most do not experience clinical symptoms of the dominant. Symptoms can occur in acute infection, namely in the form of enlarged lymph nodes around the neck or armpit.

But in the long run, that toxoplasma can cause infertility. In men, infertility caused by Toxoplasma can infect the sperm canal and cause inflammation. So that the sperm duct inflammation causes narrowing or closure of the channel and on the man's sperm can not be issued a sperm to fertilize an egg.

Whereas in women, the effect is almost the same as men. Toxoplasma infection that can mengebabkan inflammation and narrowing of the oviduct. So that the ovary will not be able to get to the uterus and can not be fertilized by sperm.

Clinical symptoms :

People who suffer from acute Toxoplasmosis in general do not feel the pain that caught his attention so as not detected. Clinical symptoms that appear similar to the clinical symptoms of infectious diseases in general, namely :
• Fever
• Enlarged lymph glands dileher the back without pain
• Headaches
• Pain in muscles
• weary / limp

These symptoms usually recover spontaneously (Frenkle 1990). Strickland (1991) reported 89% patients with acute toxoplasma clinical symptoms include fever, headache and 84% enlargement of lymph glands, muscle pain in 60%, 54%, neck stiffness and no appetite, 20%, with patches of red skin, 24 % ill disendi and 11% with inflammation of the liver.

Toxoplasmosis acute and reinfection in a pregnant woman can cause the transmission to passive baby who was conceived. The magnitude of transmission rates in infants depends on gestational age. Figures for 1% transmission occurs when a pregnant woman suffering from toxoplasmosis before fertilization occurs, 12% when gestational age 6-16 weeks and 20% when gestational age 16-28 weeks until birth.

A baby who was conceived by pregnant women in first trimester of pregnancy can become infected by 25%, while the third trimester of pregnancy diusia 65%. Infection in very early pregnancy can cause miscarriage and the baby died in the womb.

Infection in the first trimester of pregnancy can cause severe congenital abnormalities in infants, because at that moment the ongoing process of growth of organs. Congenital abnormalities that occur can be Hidrosepalus, Mikrosepalus, calcification of the brain, nervous disorders such as seizures, impaired reflexes, retandasi mental impairments that can cause blindness and inflammation of the liver (Frenkle - 1990, Kierzenbaum - 1994).

In chronic toxoplasmosis can occur Korioretinitis clinical symptoms of which can lead to visual impairments, headaches, Encephalitis, and even paralyzed some of the body (Soemarsono, 1990).

HIV - AIDS

HIV stands for 'Human Immunodeficiency Virus'. HIV is a retrovirus that infects cells of the human immune system (mainly CD4 positive T-cells and macrophages-key components of the immune system cells), and destroys or impairs their function. Infection with this virus resulted in a decrease in the immune system that constantly, which will result in immune deficiency.

Immune system is considered deficient when it can no longer perform its function to fight infections and diseases. People who own immune deficient (Immunodeficient) become more vulnerable to a wide range of infections, most of which rarely infects people without immune deficiency. Diseases associated with severe immunodeficiency are known as "opportunistic infections" because such infections take advantage of a weakened immune system.

What is AIDS ?

AIDS stands for 'Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome' and describes a variety of symptoms and infections associated with reduced immune systems. HIV infection has been established as the cause of AIDS. HIV levels in the body and the incidence of certain infections are an indicator that HIV infection has progressed to AIDS.

Are these symptoms of HIV ?

Most people infected with HIV do not know because no symptoms develop immediately after initial infection. Some people have a glandular disorder that causes effects such as fever (with fever, rash, joint pain, and swelling of the spleen), which can occur at the time of seroconversion. Seroconversion refers to the formation of antibodies to HIV and usually occurs between six weeks and three months after infection.

HIV infection despite no initial symptoms, a person infected with HIV is very easy to transmit the virus to others. The only way to determine whether HIV is present in a person's body is through HIV testing.

Infection with HIV causes a decline and the weakening of the immune system. This causes the body vulnerable to infections and can lead to the development of AIDS.

When does a person get AIDS ?

The term AIDS is used for the stages of the most advanced HIV infection.

Most people who contract HIV, if not treated, will show signs of AIDS within 8-10 years. AIDS identified on the basis of certain infections, grouped by the World Health Organization (World Health Organization) as follows :

* Phase I HIV disease is asymptomatic and not categorized as AIDS.
* Phase II (includes minor mucocutaneous manifestations of these infections and upper respiratory tract that can not heal)
* Phase III (includes chronic diarrhea that does not clear the cause of progress more than one month, severe bacterial infections, and tuberculosis of the lungs), or
* Stage IV (includes Toxoplasmosis of the brain, Candidiasis of the channel throat (esophagus), respiratory (tracheal), trunk lines the lungs (bronchi) or lungs and Kaposi's sarcoma). HIV disease is used as an indicator of AIDS.

Most of these conditions are opportunistic infections suffered by people who, when healthy, can be treated.

How quickly HIV can develop into AIDS ?

Duration can vary from one person to another. With a healthy lifestyle, the time between HIV infection and become sick because of AIDS can range between 10-15 years, sometimes even longer. Antiretroviral therapy can slow the progression of AIDS by reducing the amount of virus (viral load) in the body that is infected.

Ulcer Disease ( Gastric )

Ulcer originating from the Dutch language which means the stomach. Someone who experienced ulcer usually feel the pain and discomfort in the abdomen. Another symptom that is felt is belching, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, feeling full, or feel burning in the upper abdomen. Ulcer can appear suddenly in a short time (acute), a long time (chronic), or because of special circumstances such as the presence of other diseases. One example is the acute ulcer discomfort when consuming alcohol or acetosal.

The disease is also called gastritis is caused by various things. The emergence of ulcer disease is often associated with drugs, medical conditions, physical stress, living habits, chemicals, and infection. Drugs like acetosal, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory / NSAIDs (like ibuprofen and naproxen), and potassium supplementation generally cause stomach upset. Swallowing corrosive chemicals (such as acid or alkaline solution), or alcohol also causes ulcers. Penginfeksi bacteria the most common cause of ulcers is the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, causes chronic gastritis.

Ulcer disease is usually overcome by using drugs to reduce stomach acid. This can help reduce symptoms and speed healing complaints (due to stomach acid irritates inflamed tissue). In addition, avoid some foods and drinks, as well as the use of certain medications.

A lot of drug options that can be used in treating ulcer disease. Treatment options must also be based on the examination. For self-medication (swamedikasi) merely eliminate symptoms of the disease.

If the ulcer caused by infection of H. pylori, chances are your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. In addition, there are also drugs used to inhibit gastric acid secretion (such as inhibiting histamine blocker 2/H2 Ranitidine and cimetidine), or medication to neutralize stomach acid (antacids). Stronger medication that is used to protect the gastrointestinal tract or to reduce stomach acid is available with a prescription. Consult with your health.

Ulcer symptoms :

Symptoms that arise due to gastritis depends on the sustained levels of acute gastritis and ulcer patients have been vulnerable time. In acute cases, symptoms that often appear usually is a pain in the pit of the stomach, nausea, vomiting, no appetite, bloating, weight loss, sore or burning pain in the upper abdomen that can become better or worse when eating. While chronic Gastritis usually develops gradually without any symptoms. If there was only mild pain on the upper abdomen and feels full after eating or loss of appetite and weight loss.

Gastritis can cause bleeding in the stomach, but this rarely becomes severe except when at the same time also happened on gastric ulcers. Bleeding in the stomach can cause vomiting blood or there is blood in the faeces and need immediate treatment. Some forms of chronic Gastritis can increase the risk of gastric cancer, especially if it occurs constantly thinning the walls of the stomach and changes in the cells in the stomach wall.

Asthma

Asthma Disease is a chronic disease (chronic) that attacks the respiratory tract (bronchiale) where there is inflammation in the lung (inflammatory) bronchiale cavity wall causing narrowing of the airways that eventually someone experiencing shortness of breath. Asthma is most prevalent diseases in developed countries, especially the high levels of air pollution from vehicle fumes and dust of the desert.

Until now the cause of asthma is still unknown despite considerable research by experts. Or asses theory about the cause of a person suffering from asthma has not been agreed upon by experts in the world of health.

However, the conclusion is that the windpipe asthmatics have distinct properties that is very sensitive to various stimuli (bronchial hyperreactivity = hipereaktivitas airways) such as air pollution (smoke, dust, chemicals), pollen, cold air, food, furry animals, mental pressure, odor / aroma sting (eg, perfume) and sports.

In addition, the occurrence of asthma attacks as a result of the impact of patients with upper respiratory infections (ARI) either the flu or sinisitis. Asthma attacks can also be experienced by some women the days of the menstrual cycle, it is extremely rare.

Figures associated with increased asthma risk factors supporting the existence of a person suffering from asthma, such as heredity. If a mother or father suffered from asthma, it is likely that the existence of people with asthma in family members.

Symptoms of asthma include :

- Respiratory sounds (wheezing / wheezing / asthma) especially when breathing out (exhalation). Not all people with asthma have respiratory sounds, and not everyone that his breathing was audible wheezing with asthma
- The shortness of breath due to narrowing of the bronchi channel (bronchiale).
- Persistent cough at night or in cold weather.
- The complaints of patients narrow chest .. feeling
- a Great cause asthma attack sufferer can not speak because of the difficulty in regulating respiration.

At the age of the children, initial symptoms may include itching dirongga chest or neck. During an asthma attack, an excessive sense of anxiety of patients can worsen the condition was. As a reaction to anxiety, patients will also be spending a lot of sweat.
