What are Autoimmune Diseases and How Do They Develop?

diseases No Comments »

What are Autoimmune Diseases? Autoimmune Diseases are caused when the immune system attacks its own cells. This video is about autoimmunity, how autoimmune diseases develop, and the symptoms they cause. Find out how autoimmune antibodies, B-cells and T-cells get made and how they get activated. Autoimmune cells are activated via molecular mimicry, bystander activation and epitope spreading. Persistent infections can increase the stimulation of the immune system over a person’s lifetime and increase the chances of activating autoimmune cells.

Autoimmune Diseases can affect one organ, as in Type I Diabetes or many organs, as in Lupus. More than 100 autoimmune disorders affect 5-10% of people worldwide.

Kidney Failure In Dogs | Everything You NEED To Know | Veterinarian Explains | Dogtor Pete

diseases No Comments »

Did you know, that after cancer, chronic kidney disease is considered to be the number two silent killer of dogs all over the world? It often develops unnoticed and when you finally do start to see clinical signs, it is often too late to treat and may take your dog’s life unexpectedly!

So make sure to watch this video as I’ll be explaining the causes, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prevention methods for kidney disease in dogs so that you can better prepare yourself and potentially protect your dog from this horrible affliction.

Now your dog’s prognosis will depend on the severity of the disease and its stages of progression. While chronic renal failure in dogs cannot be reversed or cured, treatment and management aimed at reducing the contributing factors and symptoms can slow its progression and may add a few months to a few years of good quality life to your pet’s lifespan.

The earlier kidney failure is diagnosed and treated, the better the prognosis and the higher the probability that your pet’s life will be extended.

Let me know down in the comments if you ever had a dog that was diagnosed with kidney disease and what you and your vet did to help him?

What Happened: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on 19 Months of COVID

Recorded on October 13, 2021

From the very beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has been on the front lines of analyzing, studying, and even personally fighting the pandemic. In this wide-ranging interview, Dr. Bhattacharya takes us through how it started, how it spread throughout the world, the efficacy of lockdowns, the development and distribution of the vaccines, and the rise of the Delta variant. He delves into what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we got really wrong. Finally, Dr. Bhattacharya looks to the future and how we will learn to live with COVID rather than trying to extinguish it, and how we might be prepared to deal with another inevitable pandemic that we know will arrive at some point.

Vitamin B therapy dangerous for diabetics with kidney disease

diseases No Comments »

Dr. David Spence, director of Robarts Research Institutes Stroke Prevention and Atherosclerosis Research Centre, is encouraging people with diabetes taking high doses of B vitamins to stop their treatment because it increases risks for heart attacks or strokes. These surprising results are published in a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency | In-Depth Overview including Medications, Diseases & Fish Tapeworm

Lesson on Vitamin B12 Deficiency Causes, including dietary intake issues, medication use, gastrointestinal disease (ex. crohn’s disease, celiac disease), GI infections, pancreatic disease and autoimmune conditions (ex. pernicious anemia). Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential in our diet as we are not able to synthesize it ourselves, and it is necessary for healthy red blood cell production, DNA synthesis and central nervous system functioning. Vitamin b12 deficiency can be due to a variety of causes within 2 major categories: reduced dietary intake and compromised absorption. Compromised absorption entails a wide variety of causes including certain medications, and issues within the gastrointestinal tract.

In this lesson, we discuss a detailed overview of causes of Vitamin b12 deficiency, including discussing pernicious anemia, crohn’s disease, celiac disease and We also discuss the physiology of normal B12 metabolism and absorption and discuss where in this physiological pathway many disease states interfere with B12 absorption.

Types of Vitamins (Water Soluble, Fat Soluble Vitamins) | Functions of Vitamins| Deficiency Diseases

Types of Vitamins (Water Soluble, Fat Soluble Vitamins) | Functions of Vitamins| Deficiency Diseases

▪ Vitamins and minerals are substances that are found in foods we eat. Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and stay healthy. When it comes to vitamins, each one has a special role to play.
▪ There are two types of vitamins: Fat soluble vitamins and Water soluble vitamins.

▪ When you eat foods that contain fat-soluble vitamins, the vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They wait around in your body fat until your body needs them. Fat-soluble vitamins are happy to stay stored in your body for a long time. Then, when it’s time for them to be used, special carriers in your body take them to where they’re needed. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat-soluble vitamins.

▪ Water-soluble vitamins are different. These vitamins dissolve in water. When you eat foods that have water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins are not stored in your body. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream. Whatever your body doesn’t use comes out when you urinate. So water-soluble vitamins need to be replaced often because they don’t stick around! This crowd of vitamins includes vitamin C and the big group of B vitamins — B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), niacin, B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, B12 (cobalamine), biotin, and pantothenic acid.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms | B12 Deficiency | Vitamin B12 - All You Need to Know

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms | B12 Deficiency | Vitamin B12 – All You Need to Know | 10 warning signs of vitamin b12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 is necessary for DNA synthesis, energy production, and central nervous system function .

B12 insufficiency and deficiency is often due to limited dietary intake, malabsorption, certain medical conditions, or the use of B12-depleting medications.

Ability to absorb B12 from food declines with age; therefore it is more common in older adults. It is also common in pregnancy and can be seen in young adults and children.

In this video we have discussed about the most common signs & symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Fatigue & Tired:

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness

Glossitis:

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause Red, painful, and inflammed tongue. This condition is called Hunter’s glossitis or Moeller’s glossitis. This can be an early sign of Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Paresthesia in hands & feet:

Paresthesia is a medical term that refers to a burning or pins-and-needles sensation in certain areas of the body, like the hands and feet.
Many adults and kids who have B12 deficiency report experiencing paresthesia

People with diabetes taking metformin are at a higher risk of developing B12 deficiency, because this medication can reduce vitamin B12 absorption in the body

Depression:

Vitamin B12 deficiency is also associated with a risk of developing depression. Vitamin B12 is a needed for our central nervous system development.

Low or deficient B12 levels may lead to other mental conditions, including psychosis and mood disorders

Difficulty concentrating and mental impairment:

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause concentration problem and it is more common in older people.

Gastrointestinal problems:

A B12 deficiency may also cause diarrhea, nausea, constipation, bloating, gas, and other gastrointestinal symptoms

Headache:

Headaches are amongst the most commonly reported symptoms related to B12 deficiency in both adults and kids.

Muscle cramps and muscle weakness. B12 deficiency negatively impacts motor and sensory nerve function, which can cause muscle cramps and weakness

Impaired coordination. A person with B12 deficiency may have difficulty walking and balancing

Erectile dysfunction. Men with B12 deficiency may experience erectile dysfunction as a result of increased levels of homocysteine in the body

Vision disturbances. B12 deficiency may cause vision disturbances, possibly due to damage to the optic nerve

Common Infectious Diseases

diseases No Comments »

E. Coli, Mononucleosis, Influenza, Meningitis, Pneumonia and Shingles (herpes zoster) are the most common infectious diseases.
Regarding E. Coli, Dr. Stacey Baker, Infectious Disease Physician with Baptist Health South Florida, explains people may get it from contaminated food products. Mononucleosis is also called the kissing disease because it can be easily passed through oral secretions and it’s very common in teens and young people.
Influenza alarms people of all ages. Meningitis can be caused by both, bacteria and viruses. It can be very concerning when it happens, the specialist says.
