LLLT to treat oral mucositis induced by cancer treatment⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Oral mucositis is a common side effect of cancer therapy.⠀It can be caused by certain drugs or from radiation therapy.⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Mucositis happens when the cells and tissues in the mouth are injured by cancer treatment, and cannot figure out if they are ‘good’ cells or ‘bad’ cells. As a result, the lining of the mouth becomes irritated and swollen. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️It can also provoke ulcers that can form anywhere in the mouth, but are most common on the tongue, inside cheeks, lips and soft palate. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Although mucositis may be dramatic during the time while you are being treated, the ulcers almost always heal by themselves within a few weeks after you end your cancer treatment.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Another way to treat mucositis is LLLT. To have an effect it should be given by trained professionals 3-5 times a week. ⁣⁣⠀
There are few risks that come along with low-level laser therapy. During the treatment, you will not feel discomfort. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
💥LLLT is a standard therapy for OM in patients with head and neck cancer. A study published in the Annals of Oncology suggests that LLLT significantly reduces the severity of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) in a large group of patients with various cancer types. These findings indicate that it might become a standard management for OM in all cancer patients, independently of tumour type, tumour location, or cancer treatment.⁣⁣⠀

LLLT and male infertility treatment ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Male infertility is responsible for 50% of cases of infertile couples. Be it urogenital infections, disorders of the immune system, testicular and prostate pathology, as well as endocrine disorders, research shows that Low level laser therapy (LLLT) can help treat bad quality s***m as part of a more complex treatment. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉Trials showed that the laser can significantly improve survival, motility and speed of movement of s***matozoa, especially in patients with prostatitis and vesiculitis. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉Treatment varies on the causes of infertility. First, your doctor will ask you to eliminate potentially harmful environmental factors, change work habits and lifestyle. To restore fertility in men, it is necessary:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅to establish a normal work and sleep cycle, receive adequate nutrition, treatment of concomitant diseases, adjust the rhythm of sexual life;⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅to eliminate overheating, to reduce physical loads when practicing extreme sports;⁣⁣⠀
to eliminate the factors that cause depression, the state of fear and neuroses.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Low level laser therapy, which has been actively developing in recent years, not only has almost no contraindications and side effects, but also demonstrates the highest effectiveness of treatment in many areas of medicine, including andrology and urology. It is recommended as an integral part of the complex solution of the infertility problem.⁣⁣⠀

World Su***de Prevention Day: Covid-19 and suicidal behaviour ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🦠Since the start of the pandemic, experts around the world have been warning that su***des are likely to increase due to factors such as stress, economic hardship and family abuse.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉In the first months of the restrictions, psychiatrists and psychologists around the world have been warning about the mental state of populations facing health restrictions in the fight against the COVID-19. Facts speak for themselves. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🇯🇵Japan has recorded a higher number of su***des, first time in 11 years.Almost 21,000 people committed su***de in Japan last year, 750 more than in 2019. This increase is particularly noticeable among women, who often hold the most precarious jobs in the archipelago. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Su***de figures for young people under the age of 18 are also alarming: more than 300 primary and secondary school students committed su***de between the beginning of April and the end of November 2020, a jump of almost 30% compared to the same period the previous year.Alarmed, the country even appointed a “minister of loneliness”. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🇫🇷France has reported an increased number of anxiety and depression. According to an Ipsos study published at the end of January for the Astrée association, 18% of French people say they always or often feel lonely, compared with 13% in 2018. 63% of people suffering from loneliness have had suicidal thoughts.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉When dealing with mental health, it is important to listen to the signals of your body and ask for help. Rankel Stress Scanner can help assess the level of stress and anxiety to make this process easier. USB-powered and small in size, it can be used on the go. The device is extremely user friendly and safe so anyone can operate it.⁣⁣⠀

Covid vaccines and heart disease⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🤔Are COVID vaccines safe for people with heart disease? We’re answering some of your questions on the . ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Q: I have a history of heart disease, heart attack or cardiovascular risk factors. Should I get a vaccine?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Absolutely. Remember, you are at increased risk of severe complications from COVID-19, so you should be the first in line. All types of tested COVID vaccines are safe for people with a history of heart disease.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Q: Will the side effects of the vaccine be any different for people with a heart condition?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Not at all. Like anyone else you are likely to feel pain and bruising at the site of the injection, and in some cases fatigue. You may also run a low-grade fever. Symptoms generally last less than two days.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Q: Can I develop myocarditis or pericarditis after getting the COVID-19 vaccine?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Yes, but the chances are very slim. Myocarditis and pericarditis or the inflammation of the heart muscle or the sac surrounding the heart, can occur after any viral infection, including COVID-19, as a result of an exaggerated immune response. But the same can happen after the immune response generated by the vaccine. In the great majority of cases, though, the myocarditis and pericarditis after the vaccine are mild and resolve on their own.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Q: Can people on blood thinners get the vaccine? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Definitely yes. You may get a bigger bruise on your arm, where you got the injection, due to the blood thinner. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Rankel cares about the health of your heart. That’s why we developed Rankel Cardiocode. It is the first device in the world to be able to measure phase volumes of blood and assess heart resources. In many cases it can even predict sudden cardiac death.⁣⁣⠀
🤔Do you have any doubts about vaccines 💉?

How can you know if your arteries are clogged?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️There are many serious dangers associated with blocked arteries, especially if they prevent blood from reaching vital parts of the body such as the heart or brain. Unfortunately, you can’t always spot a blocked artery until it causes a life-threatening issue such as a heart attack or stroke. ⁣⁣⠀

Sometimes the only way to know if your arteries are clogged is to undergo a screening test such as a carotid Doppler ultrasound.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🤔What are the signs of a blocked artery?⁣⁣⠀
In many cases, it’s really hard to tell, but sometimes there can be warning signs that an artery is blocked before it causes a serious event. For example, angina or chest pain occurs when the blood vessel supplying the heart is clogged. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉It can cause symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, heart palpitations and sweating, which may be triggered by physical activity. ⁣⁣⠀

If the brain is affected by the blockage, the person may experience transient Ischemic⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉Attacks (TIAs) or mini-strokes. ⁣⁣⠀
The symptoms can include temporary weakness on one side of your body, loss of vision in one eye, or slurred speech. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉Angina can be a sign that you are at risk of a heart attack while a TIA is a warning that you are at risk of a major stroke, so it is vital to take these symptoms seriously and see a doctor.⁣⁣⠀

What should you do if you suspect a clogged artery? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️If you have any of the symptomes above, your doctor might prescribe cardiac screening. It can reveal whether you are at risk of clogged arteries by testing you for high cholesterol. ⁣⁣⠀
There are also some tests that can look inside your arteries to check for blockages. ⁣⁣⠀

Types of acne, explained.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Acne can be caused by many factors and it can manifest in many different ways. Here are the most common types of skin blemishes. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
1. Whiteheads⁣⁣⠀
Whiteheads are one of the most typical forms of acne. They appear on the skin as small or medium bumps. As they “ripe”, their top becomes white in colour.⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Whiteheads occur when a pore is clogged with dead skin cells and sebum. They are non-inflammatory and are fairly easy to treat. Don’t pop whiteheads, as the bacteria in it can easily spread to other pores, infecting them, too.⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
2. Blackheads⁣⁣⠀
Blackheads are the dark spots on your skin. Like whiteheads, blackheads are caused by clogged pores, but unlike whiteheads, they are open to the air. So when they come into contact with oxygen, they turn dark.⁣⁣⠀
Blackheads, just as whiteheads, don’t cause swelling or infection and are considered noninflammatory. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
3. Papules ⁣⁣⠀
Papules are the swollen red bumps that so many of us imagine as “typical” breakouts.⁣⁣⠀
They develop when excess oil and dead skin cells clog your pores. Pressure builds up in the blocked pore and can cause the walls of your pore to rupture. Your immune system responds to the rupture with inflammation, giving papules their red and swollen appearance. After a few days, most papules graduate to pustules. ⁣⁣⠀
Pustules are essentially papules that fill with pus when your immune system kicks in.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
4. Nodules⁣⁣⠀
Nodules are a more severe form of acne. They look like papules but start deeper in the skin, so they are challenging to treat and nearly impossible to pop. Nodules are red, feel firm and are painful to the touch. These blemishes can appear on their own or in sore patches across your skin. They can also coexist with cysts. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
5. Cysts⁣⁣⠀
Cystic acne is a severe form of acne that starts in the deep layers of your skin. Like nodules, cysts resemble deep, red lumps, but filled with pus and other liquids, they are soft to the touch and are painful. Don’t try to pop or dry them as they may leave scars. ⁣⁣⠀

How to spot and react when your pet is having a stroke⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️You might not know it but cats and dogs can have strokes, too. Good news is that they are less frequent in pets than in people. Bad news: pet owners often don’t notice signs of a mild stroke in their companions since animals can’t tell them how they feel. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
An animal that suffered a stroke requires immediate veterinary attention.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🤔What is a stroke? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉A stroke occurs when a blood vessel becomes blocked so blood and oxygen no longer reach the brain, causing brain cells to die. Most strokes involve blood clots, but some are caused by tumor cells, bacteria, and parasites. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🐕Our pets don’t eat greasy foods, smoke, or drink alcohol, which are the most common risk factors for many human stroke victims, so pinpointing the exact cause of strokes in dogs and cats is difficult. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️However, if your pet suffers from one of the following diseases, they might be at risk: ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism);⁣⁣⠀
✅Hypertension;⁣⁣⠀
✅Heart disease (especially in cats);⁣⁣⠀
✅Bleeding disorders;⁣⁣⠀
✅Hypothyroidism;⁣⁣⠀
✅Cancer;⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🤔How to spot a stroke? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🐱Cats tend to have dramatic signs if they experience a stroke, including:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅Howling or meowing in pain;⁣⁣⠀
✅Dragging one or both hind legs;⁣⁣⠀
✅Limping on a front leg;⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉If your dog has a stroke, signs often appear suddenly, but may differ widely, depending on the area of the brain affected. You may notice:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅A head tilt⁣⁣⠀
✅Difficulty walking⁣⁣⠀
✅Loss of housetraining⁣⁣⠀
✅Change in personality⁣⁣⠀
✅Less awareness of surroundings⁣⁣⠀
✅Abnormal eye movement or positioning⁣⁣⠀
✅Falling/listing to one side⁣⁣⠀
✅Blindness⁣⁣⠀
✅Seizures⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If your cat or dog is showing any signs that potentially indicate a stroke, contact your veterinarian immediately. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is critical. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🐱Cats suffering from a feline aortic thromboembolism require intensive and aggressive therapy. In addition to paralyzed and painful rear legs, they often also are suffering from heart failure. ⁣⁣⠀

Laser therapy against endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 patients⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Scientists have established that COVID-19 can cause a number of complications, including severe acute respiratory syndrome. The viral infection also affects the development of endothelial dysfunction (EnD). Many experts are convinced that the vascular endothelium is the cornerstone of organ dysfunction in severe COVID-19 patients.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️EnD is a complex process and a serious problem in modern clinical practice, even outside of the context of COVID-19. But in case of viral infection learning how to treat it has become particularly important. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉Endothelium, the interior surface of blood and lymphatic vessels, regulates transportation of many biologically active substances. It is there for protection and many other things, too, so EnD can be catastrophic for a human life.⁣⁣⠀
Unfortunately, so far, there are no sufficiently effective methods to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate patients with EnD due to severe COVID-19, so the mortality remains quite high. Scientists have proposed many different options, among which low-level laser therapy (LLLT).⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️It is known that low-intensity laser irradiation (LILI) used as part of LLLT restores the work of almost all systems that regulate and maintain homeostasis: the immune, nervous, circulatory, and hormonal systems.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉At the systemic level the effects of LILI manifest by the activation of microcirculation and metabolism, improved regeneration of lung tissue, enhanced muscle support for the respiratory act, and increased local immunity.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
💥RANKEL Smart Life is a portable physiotherapeutic LLLT device that helps prevent and treat a variety of diseases. It is widely used in clinics, but it is also suitable for use at home. Due to its calming qualities, it helps to reduce pain and improve the quality of life. RANKEL Smart Life has a five-component effect on the body, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is absolutely safe to use and has no contraindications. ⁣⁣⠀

Euro 2020 heart attack: what is a defibrillator implant and how does it work? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has made it into headlines after suffering a cardiac arrest during his country’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland in Copenhagen. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉Saved by CPR administered to him on the pitch, he now will live with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a small electronic device which can prevent fatal heart attacks by discharging a jolt to restore a regular heart rhythm. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👉An ICD is a battery-powered pulse-generator the size of a pocket watch placed under the skin, just under the collarbone or in the abdomen. The device is connected to the heart through thin wires and, if one’s heart is beating chaotically and much too fast, delivers an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️ICDs are recommended to patients with known, sustained heart rhythm disorders such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Studies have shown that the ICDs may prevent cardiac arrest in high-risk patients who haven't had, but are at risk for, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
☝️But before a patient is fitted with an ICD, doctors must be sure that the arrhythmia is life-threatening and cannot be fixed otherwise. Having a heart defibrillator is associated with many limitations and its sole purpose is to prevent sudden cardiac death, so it’s very important for a person considering an ICD to understand their underlying condition, be it heart failure or genetic predisposition for risk of sudden cardiac arrest.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🤔Will Eriksen continue his career? ⁣⁣⠀
It is not yet clear whether having an ICD will affect Eriksen’s career, but some players such as Dutchman Daley Blind have been able to get back on the pitch with a similar device. Daley had been fitted with an ICD after being diagnosed with an inflamed heart muscle in 2019.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
📌Professional sports are associated with high levels of physical efforts and an elevated risk of heart issues. Nevertheless, sudden cardiac arrest most oftenly comes as a surprise. However, there exist devices that can predict such sad outcomes.

LLLT therapy against covid-related hair loss (Rankel Smart Life)⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
🦠COVID-19 might be a new disease, but most of us already know all the common symptoms which include fever, fatigue and cough. In August 2020 actress Alyssa Milano took to social media to reveal a lesser-known effect of COVID-19.⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
In a video posted on Twitter, she showed large clumps of hair coming out of her head with a brush. “This is my hair loss from COVID-19. Wear a damn mask,” Milano wrote. ⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
🧑‍⚕️While the World Health Organisation or the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) don’t include hair loss among official COVID-19 symptoms, doctors say, it’s a quite common effect. ⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
There’s no evidence yet that the novel coronavirus itself directly causes hair loss. The specialists believe that the hair loss is due to the stress that can lead to a reversible hair loss condition called telogen effluvium.⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
☝️Usually it occurs a few months after a stressful event for your body such as emotional distress, major surgery, or high fever. During such events, the body considers that it must shut down some non-essential functions to recover so it pushes the person’s hair to the so-called resting phase of the hair growth cycle.⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
Stress-induced hair loss is typically diagnosed by elimination of other potential causes. You may have to do a blood test to rule out a thyroid issue or nutritional deficiency.⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀

☝️Normally, a person loses up to 100 hairs per day. Telogen effluvium can make you lose three times more. ⁣⁣However, this condition is temporary, and the hair will eventually grow back. Doctors say you should focus on developing a healthy lifestyle and look for ways to manage stress.⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀

Another advice is at this time don’t get your hair colored and don’t wear it in braids. ⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀⁣⁣⠀
📌Low-Level-Laser Therapy is known to be very effective to treat some cases of hair loss, including telogen effluvium. RANKEL Smart Life can offer you a solution to treat hair loss and the hair loss-related stress.⠀⁣⁣⠀
