Cardiac arrest is a serious heart condition. The word arrest means to stop or bring to a halt. In cardiac arrest, the heart ceases to beat. It’s also known as sudden cardiac death.

Your heartbeat is controlled by electrical impulses. When these impulses change pattern, the heartbeat becomes irregular. This is also known as an arrhythmia. Some arrhythmias are slow, others are rapid. Cardiac arrest occurs when the rhythm of the heart stops.

Cardiac arrest is an extremely serious health issue. The Institute of Medicinereports that every year, more than half a million people experience cardiac arrest in the United States. The condition can cause death or disability. If you or someone you’re with is experiencing symptoms of cardiac arrest, seek emergency health assistance immediately. It can be fatal. Immediate response and treatment can save a life.

What Causes Cardiac Arrest?

A number of factors can cause sudden cardiac arrest. Two of the most common are ventricular and atrial fibrillation.

Ventricular Fibrillation

Your heart has four chambers. The two lower chambers are the ventricles. In ventricular fibrillation, these chambers quiver out of control. This causes the heart’s rhythm to change dramatically. The ventricles begin to pump inefficiently, which severely decreases the amount of blood pumped through the body. In some cases, the circulation of blood stops completely. This may lead to sudden cardiac death.

The most frequent cause of cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation.

Atrial Fibrillation

The heart can also stop beating efficiently after an arrhythmia in the upper chambers. These chambers are known as the atria.

Atrial fibrillation begins when the sinoatrial (SA) node doesn’t send out the correct electrical impulses. Your SA node is located in the right atrium. It regulates how quickly the heart pumps blood. When the electrical impulse goes to atrial fibrillation, the ventricles can’t pump blood out to the body efficiently.

Causes

Typhoid fever is caused by dangerous bacteria called Salmonella typhi. Salmonella typhi is related to the bacteria that cause salmonellosis, another serious intestinal infection, but they aren't the same.

Fecal-oral transmission route

Most people in developed countries pick up typhoid bacteria while they're traveling. Once they have been infected, they can spread it to others through the fecal-oral route.

This means that Salmonella typhi is passed in the f***s and sometimes in the urine of infected people. If you eat food that has been handled by someone who has typhoid fever and who hasn't washed carefully after using the toilet, you can become infected.

In developing countries, where typhoid fever is established, most people become infected by drinking contaminated water. The bacteria may also spread through contaminated food and through direct contact with someone who is infected.

Typhoid carriers

Even after antibiotic treatment, a small number of people who recover from typhoid fever continue to harbor the bacteria. These people, known as chronic carriers, no longer have signs or symptoms of the disease themselves. However, they still shed the bacteria in their f***s and are capable of infecting others.

Risk factors

Typhoid fever is a serious worldwide threat and affects about 27 million or more people each year. The disease is established in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, South America and many other areas.

Worldwide, children are at greatest risk of getting the disease, although they generally have milder symptoms than adults do.

If you live in a country where typhoid fever is rare, you're at increased risk if you:

Work in or travel to areas where typhoid fever is established

Work as a clinical microbiologist handling Salmonella typhi bacteria

Have close contact with someone who is infected or has recently been infected with typhoid fever

Drink water polluted by sewage that contains Salmonella typhi

The most effective way to diagnose and treat PPD is by visiting your doctor. Your doctor can evaluate your symptoms and devise the best treatment plan for you. You may benefit from psychotherapy, antidepressants, or some combination of both.

There are also things you can do at home to help cope with everyday life.



How to Deal With Postpartum Depression

Try these lifestyle changes to help you cope with postpartum depression.



Create time for yourself

You are probably feeling stuck on the couch breastfeeding (How to get a Flat Stomach after Birth), or maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by work, household responsibilities, or your older children. Instead of dealing with these stresses alone, reach out for help.

Take up your mother or mother-in-law on her offer of free babysitting. Let your partner or another trusted adult take the baby for an hour or two. If you can only get out of the house between nursing sessions, you can use this time to decompress. Try to take a stroll, take a nap, go to a movie, or do some yoga and meditation.

Exercise when you can

In a study published in Mental Health and Physical Activity, walking was found to be a statistically significant way to ease depression. If you can’t fit in a long exercise session, try working out for 10 minutes a few times during the day.

Get enough rest

Women who get the least sleep experience depression. In the early days, they may not sleep through the night. You may find it helpful to take naps or go to bed early. If you’re breastfeeding, try pumping a bottle so your partner can take care of an overnight feeding or two.

Maintain a healthy diet

This alone won’t cure postpartum depression but getting into the habit of eating nutritious foods can help you feel better and give your body the nutrients you need. Eat whole foods, such as chopped carrots and cubed cheese or apple slices and peanut butter that are easy to grab on the go.

Focus on fish oils

This is a very good time to beef up your intake o

The period after you have put to bed may be filled with many emotions. You may feel everything from joy to fear to sadness. If you feel sad and it starts to become severe and starts to interfere with your everyday life, you may be experiencing postpartum depression (PPD).

Symptoms of PPD usually start within a few weeks of delivery, though they may develop up to six months afterwards. These symptoms may include mood swings, trouble bonding with your baby, and difficulty thinking or making decisions.
