  • Asthma Management
    By: Adele Bantle | - Asthma is commonly referred to as a disease. However, many doctors do not agree with this term. They describe it as a condition.

    What is Asthma? It is the inflammation and clogging up of the airways which obstructs breathing. This condition can be exacerbated by mucous which blocks the airways and makes breathing even more difficult.

    It is therefore imperative to have a diet which eliminates that formation of mucous.

    Asthma is not a condition you have ...

  • Treatment Of Verruca Vulgaris
    By: bcured | - Verruca vulgaris is a common pediatric complaint, occurring in 5% to 10% of all pediatric patients. Warts are benign growths caused by the human papilloma viruses. They can occur on any epithelialized surface of the body. The peak incidence is between the ages of 12 and 16 years. Although two thirds of all warts in children will resolve spontaneously without treatment within 2 years, patients frequently request treatment to hasten the resolution.
    A variety of therapies have been studied fo ...

  • Treatment Of External Genital Warts
    By: bcured | - Treatment of genital warts is often frustrating for clinicians and patients alike. Unlike single-dose therapy for many bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (STD), genital warts may require multiple applications of a local destructive therapy. Such therapy is often painful and sometimes unsuccessful. Moreover, genital warts commonly recur after "successful" therapy.
    Podophyllin has been the most common method of therapy for genital warts in public STD clinics because of its convenience a ...

  • Warts Treatments
    By: bcured | - Warts are actually benign tumors of the epidermis caused by a virus. The virus responsible is the human papilloma virus (HPV), a double-stranded DNA virus. The virus resides in the bottom layer of the epidermis and replicates into almost normal-looking skin. Different sub-types of HPV cause different types of warts. Some human papilloma virus subtypes also cause cervical cancer and other more obscure types of wart-related cancers.
    Warts normally grow out of the skin in cylindrical columns. ...

  • Warts Vaccine
    By: bcured | - Identification of a viral agent such as HPV as a cause of diseases implies that successful prophylactic or therapeutic intervention against the viral agent should prevent the diseases it causes. A preexisting viral infection can theoretically be targeted by an antiviral or a therapeutic vaccine.
    Successful antivirals have been developed for the treatment of some viral infections, including diseases such as HIV and influenza, but not against viruses such as HPV. A therapeutic vaccine agains ...

  • Cancers Linked To Hpv
    By: bcured | - Among the cancers attributable to HPV infection, cervical cancer has received the most attention, as it accounts for about 10% of all cancers in women worldwide. Cervical cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer, after breast cancer, among women worldwide. The interval between the acquisition of HPV infection and malignant progression usually takes at least 10 years and is frequently longer.
    Cervical cancer is therefore very uncommon in women under 25; the incidence rise ...

  • Trichloracetic Acid For Genital Wart
    By: bcured | - Trichloracetic acid (TCA) can be used to treat genital warts. It is a caustic that erodes the skin and mucous membranes, but generally is not absorbed systemically.

    TCA also can be used to treat vaginal and anal lesions. A small amount of TCA can be applied to a wart and allowed to dry until a white frosting develops. If excess TCA is applied to non-affected t ...

  • Radiotherapy And Surgery - Do They Help In The Fight Against Cancer
    By: Patrick Hamouy | - Radiotherapy

    Radiotherapy uses small doses of radiation projected by machines aimed at the sick organ(s) or radioactive implants. The unit of measurement is the electron volt. For deep organs, this can reach 25 million electron volts.

    Radiotherapy appears to increase life expectancy for some cancers but is plagued by a large number of side effects. Most common is the fatigue associated with this form of treatment. Patients who receive Radiotherapy for breast cancer ...
