>>DENGUE FEVER
> Dengue (DENG-gey) fever is a mosquito-borne illness that occurs in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Mild dengue fever causes a high fever and flu-like symptoms. The severe form of dengue fever, also called dengue hemorrhagic fever, can cause serious bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure (shock) and death.

Millions of cases of dengue infection occur worldwide each year. Dengue fever is most common in Southeast Asia, the western Pacific islands, Latin America and Africa. But the disease has been spreading to new areas, including local outbreaks in Europe and southern parts of the United States.

>> Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT)
> CIT is a common hematologic toxicity of myelosuppressive and ablative therapy. Severe or persistent CIT not only has a risk of life-threatening spontaneous hemorrhage, but also may necessitate reduction and/or delay in treatment doses.

>> Drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DIT)
> DIT is a relatively common clinical disorder. It is imperative to provide rapid identification and removal of the offending agent before clinically significant bleeding or, in the case of heparin, thrombosis occurs. DIT can be distinguished from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a bleeding disorder caused by thrombocytopenia not associated with a systemic disease, based on the history of drug ingestion or injection and laboratory findings. DIT disorders can be a consequence of decreased platelet production (bone marrow suppression) or accelerated platelet destruction (especially immune-mediated destruction).

>> Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
>> ITP is also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenia, is a type of thrombocytopenic purpura defined as an isolated low platelet count with a normal bone marrow in the absence of other causes of low platelets.[1] It causes a characteristic red or purple bruise-like rash and an increased tendency to bleed. Two distinct clinical syndromes manifest as an acute condition in children and a chronic condition in adults. The acute form often follows an infection and spontaneously resolves within two months. Chronic immune thrombocytopenia persists longer than six months with a specific cause being unknown.

ITP is an autoimmune disease with antibodies detectable against several platelet surface structures.

>> THORBOCYTOPENIA (Low Serum Platelet Count)
> this is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets, also known as thrombocytes, in the blood. It is the most common coagulation disorder among intensive care patients and is seen in 20% of medical patients and a third of surgical patients.
A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease. One common definition of thrombocytopenia requiring emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000 per microliter.

Thrombocytopenia usually has no symptoms and is picked up on a routine complete blood count. Some individuals with thrombocytopenia may experience external bleeding such as nosebleeds, or bleeding gums. Some women may have heavier or longer periods or breakthrough bleeding. Bruising, particularly purpura in the forearms and petechiae in the feet, legs, and mucous membranes, may be caused by spontaneous bleeding under the skin.

Thrombocytopenia might occur as a result of a dengue infection, bone marrow disorder such as leukemia or an immune system problem. Or it can be a side effect of taking certain medications. It affects both children and adults.

Dangerous internal bleeding can occur when your platelet count falls below 10,000 platelets per microliter. Though rare, severe thrombocytopenia can cause bleeding into the brain, which can be fatal.

>> What is Dengue Fever ?

https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/dengue-fever

> Dengue fever is an illness that is similar to a serious case of the flu. It is caused by a virus carried by mosquitoes.

Most people who have dengue fever recover in about a week. Sometimes, the infection is more serious and occasionally it is fatal.

You can catch dengue fever if you are bitten by an infected mosquito. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical countries in Africa, Asia and South America.

>> What are the symptoms of dengue fever?
Dengue is transmitted only by mosquitoes; it is not transmitted directly from person to person.

> If you have dengue fever, you may have:

- fever (mild to incapacitating)
- headache
- pain behind the eyes
- muscle and joint pain
- nausea and vomiting
- swollen glands
- a rash
- bleeding nose or gums
- fatigue (feeling very tired)

These symptoms may be mild or severe. They usually appear between 3 and 14 days after the mosquito bite, and usually last for between 2 and 7 days.

There is no vaccine or any specific medicine to treat dengue. People who have dengue fever should rest, drink plenty of fluids and reduce the fever using paracetamol or they should see a doctor.

>> What are the symptoms of severe dengue fever?
Severe dengue (also known as dengue haemorrhagic fever) is a potentially lethal complication, affecting mainly children. Diagnosing it early and being treated by trained doctors and nurses increases survival.

Some people can get severe dengue fever if they have had dengue fever before.

People with severe dengue feel very unwell and have extra symptoms such as:

- bruising to only minor bumps
- nose bleeds and bleeding gums
- stomach pain
- breathing difficulties
- persistent vomiting or poo with blood in it
- confusion
- restlessness
- cold, clammy skin

***This is a serious illness and it can be fatal. If you think you may have dengue fever, visit your doctor or hospital emergency department.

>> How is dengue fever diagnosed?
Your doctor will assess you by talking to you and examining you. They may order blood tests to help diagnose dengue fever.

>> How is dengue fever treated?
There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. But you can ease the symptoms by resting, drinking plenty of fluids and taking painkillers such as paracetamol.

> If you have dengue fever, do not take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen. These can worsen bleeding.

>> How is dengue fever prevented?
There is no vaccine to prevent dengue fever. The best way to prevent it is to avoid being bitten by mosquitos. If someone in your house has dengue, it is especially important to avoid mosquito bites as mosquitoes can carry the infection from one person to another.

>> How to prevent mosquito bites:

- Stay inside during mornings and evenings when mosquitos are active.
- Use air-conditioning and window screens; use mosquito nets in the bedroom.
- Wear long-sleeved clothes and covered shoes.
- Use a mosquito repellent that contains DEET or picaridin.
Regularly check and drain any still water around your home. - Mosquitos breed in still water, such as water in empty containers.

>> What is PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) ?

> Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a miserable condition that can have a hugely negative impact on a woman’s emotional, physical health, and behavior in the days just before her period begins.
It is so common that around 90% of women that menstruate have experienced symptoms of PMS.

> Causes

The actual cause of PMS is not known. Many doctors suspect that a change in hormone levels around the time of your period is the catalyst. Five to ten days before menstruation starts women can suffer from the various symptoms of PMS which typically go away once you begin to have blood flow.

Most evidence suggests that PMS results from the alterations in or interactions between the levels of s*x hormones and brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters.

Estrogen and progesterone increase and decrease at different times of the month. An increase in these hormones can cause mood swings, anxiety, and irritability. Ovarian steroids govern reproduction, your menstrual cycle and also can have a huge impact on cognitive function and memory storage.
Your level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, can influence your mood, emotions, and thoughts.

PMS does not appear to be specifically associated with any personality factors or specific personality types.

> Symptoms

PMS is not the same experience for every woman; symptoms vary from person to person.
Some physical symptoms of PMS are:
~ insomnia or fatigue
~ bloated stomach
~ pimples
~ constipation and diarrhoea
~ water retention
~ gaining weight
~ sore breasts
~ joint and muscle pain
~ food cravings
~ bad headaches
~ night sweats

Possible changes in Mood or Behaviour:
~ depressed mood, which could include suicidal thoughts
~ anxiety
~ confusion and difficulty concentrating
~ lower self-esteem ,
~ fluctuating levels of s*xual desire
~ loneliness and irritability
~ mood swings

>> What is Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) ?

According to doctors a small number of women may experience more severe symptoms of PMS known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

PMDD statistics indicate that 6 million, or 1 in 20 women worldwide, struggle with this condition. According to the Recovery Village the actual prevalence is estimated to be even higher, but many women may not come forward regarding their concerns because of fear of stigmatization. The average age of onset for PMDD is 26, but the condition can emerge at any time during a woman’s reproductive years.

Symptoms of PMDD are similar to PMS but are much more intense and can have a much greater negative impact on your daily activities and quality of life.

Symptoms can include physical, mental and emotional concerns:

~ cramps, headaches and joint and muscle pain
~ binge eating and problems sleeping
~ feeling very anxious, angry, depressed or, in some cases, even suicidal.

>> How Alcohol Affects The Liver ...

> The liver breaks down and filters out harmful substances in the blood and manufactures the proteins, enzymes, and hormones the body uses to ward off infections. It also converts vitamins, nutrients, and medicines into substances that our bodies can use. The liver is also responsible for cleaning our blood, producing bile for digestion, and storing glycogen for energy.

The liver processes over 90% of consumed alcohol. The rest exits the body via urine, sweat, and breathing.

It takes the body approximately an hour to process 1 alcoholic beverage. This time frame increases with each drink. The higher someone’s blood alcohol content, the longer it takes to process alcohol. The liver can only process a certain amount of alcohol at a time. When someone has too much to drink, the alcohol left unprocessed by the liver circulates through the bloodstream. The alcohol in the blood starts affecting the heart and brain, which is how people become intoxicated. Chronic alcohol abuse causes destruction of liver cells, which results in scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), alcoholic hepatitis, and cellular mutation that may lead to liver cancer. These conditions usually progress from fatty liver to alcoholic hepatitis to cirrhosis, although heavy drinkers may develop alcoholic cirrhosis without first developing hepatitis.

>> Liver Basics - enzyme and function tests

Liver Function Tests and Liver Enzymes - Includes blood tests that assess the general health of the liver. When elevated above normal values, the ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) tests indicate liver damage. They are enzymes located in liver cells that can leak out into the bloodstream when liver cells are injured.

> Alanine Transaminase (ALT)
ALT is an enzyme that is normally found in the liver cells and in the blood. When liver cells become damaged, they leak into the bloodstream, causing levels of liver enzymes to be raised. An increase in ALT levels can indicate acute liver damage. However, a single ALT test cannot usually reveal the severity of liver damage. Many people with chronic hepatitis C have normal ALT levels, so this test is not considered a completely accurate marker of disease progression.

> Aspartate Transaminase (AST)
is found in other organs besides the liver. High AST levels in the bloodstream can be a sign of liver trouble. AST testing measures the level of AST in a person's bloodstream at a given time. Like ALT levels, AST levels in people with HCV often vary over time and can't be used to forecast disease progression or specifically measure liver damage.

> Bilirubin
When red blood cells complete their lifecycle and break down naturally, they produce bilirubin, a yellow pigment that's passed on to the liver and excreted in the bile. Most of the time, the body produces as many red blood cells as it breaks down. However, if the red blood cells break down more rapidly or if liver function becomes impaired, bilirubin levels in the blood rise. In patients with hepatitis, bilirubin levels tend to fluctuate. A prolonged persistent rise in bilirubin for a patient with chronic hepatitis C usually indicates severe liver dysfunction.

> Albumin
Albumin is a protein manufactured by the liver. A decrease in albumin may reflect a reduction in the liver's ability to synthesize this protein, and a significant sustained decrease in this protein may mean poor liver function. However, decreases in albumin levels may also occur for reasons not related to the liver. Your doctor will take this into account when interpreting test results.

> Prothrombin time
This test measures blood clotting ability. When the liver is damaged, it may fail to produce enough blood clotting factors.
Complete blood count—A complete blood count analysis can be used to help detect liver scarring. If the liver becomes scarred, blood may back up into the spleen. This causes the spleen to enlarge and to trap blood elements, removing them from circulation and lowering blood counts.

> Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT)
GGT or gamma glutamyl transpeptidase is actually a more specific indicator of liver disease than ALT. However, it is not used as a first-line diagnostic test because it may be elevated with even minor levels of liver dysfunction that are considered non-clinical (in other words, it’s too sensitive). This test is most often used to determine more information about the specific liver condition when ALT elevation is detected. GGT is often elevated in chronic alcohol abuse.

> Ferritin
Iron is stored in the liver in the form of ferritin. Increased levels of ferritin means a high level of iron is being stored. This could result from an increased iron intake in the diet (vitamin supplements, food cooked in iron pots, etc.), but it can also occur from a destruction of liver cells causing leakage of ferritin. More research is needed to understand the relationship between elevated ferritin and liver cancer.

>> Parkinson's Disease - what is it ???

> Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects predominately dopamine-producing (“dopaminergic”) neurons in a specific area of the brain called substantia nigra.

Symptoms generally develop slowly over years. The progression of symptoms is often a bit different from one person to another due to the diversity of the disease. People with PD may experience:

- Tremor, mainly at rest and described as pill rolling tremor in hands. Other forms of tremor are possible
- Bradykinesia (slow movements)
- Limb rigidity
- Gait and balance problems

The cause remains largely unknown. Although there is no cure, treatment options vary and include medications and surgery. While Parkinson’s itself is not fatal, disease complications can be serious. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rated complications from PD as the 14th cause of death in the United States.

The first step to living well with Parkinson’s disease is to understand the disease and the progression:

It is possible to have a good to great quality of life with PD. Working with your doctor and following recommended therapies are essential in successfully treating symptoms by using dopaminergic medications. People with PD need this medication because they have low levels or are missing dopamine in the brain, mainly due to impairment of neurons in the substantia nigra.

It is important to understand that people with PD first start experiencing symptoms later in the course of the disease because a significant amount of the substantia nigra neurons have already been lost or impaired. Lewy bodies (accumulation of abnormal alpha-synuclein) are found in substantia nigra neurons of PD patients.

Scientists are exploring ways to identify biomarkers for PD that can lead to earlier diagnosis and more tailored treatments to slow down the disease process. Currently, all therapies used for PD improve symptoms without slowing or halting the disease progression.

In addition to movement-related (“motor”) symptoms, Parkinson’s symptoms may be unrelated to movement (“non-motor”).People with PD are often more impacted by their non-motor symptoms than motor symptoms. Examples of non-motor symptoms include: apathy, depression, constipation, sleep behavior disorders, loss of sense of smell and cognitive impairment.

In idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, progression tends to be slow and variable. Doctors often use the Hoehn and Yahr scale to gauge the progression of the disease over the years. The scale was originally implemented in 1967 and it included stages zero to five, where zero is no signs of Parkinson’s and five is advanced PD. It was later changed to become the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale.

> Parkinson’s disease and inflammation

For more than thirty years it has been understood that inflammatory changes occur in the brains of patients with PD, but only in the last few years has inflammation been viewed as part of the cause of the progressive nature of the disease and not just a result of the disease. What this means, is that the disease may start because of abnormal accumulation of the protein alpha-synuclein into clumps known as Lewy bodies, but this abnormal accumulation may be triggering the body’s inflammatory response, which then causes the damage and further disease progression.

Dr. David Standaert, the Chairman of APDA’s Scientific Advisory Board, and director of the APDA Center for Advanced Research at the University of Alabama, is an expert on inflammation and Parkinson’s disease and has summarized for the scientific community how alpha-synuclein triggers inflammation in PD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects predominately dopamine-producing (“dopaminergic”) neurons in a specific area of the brain called substantia nigra.

>> Asthma - What is Asthma and how does it link to chronic inflammation ?

> Asthma is a chronic condition that intermittently or chronically inflames and narrow the airways in the lungs. The inflammation causes periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and coughing.

>> Asthma - What are the 4 stages of Asthma ?

> Asthma can be either intermittent or persistent. When symptoms arise occasionally, a person has intermittent asthma. Symptoms of persistent asthma occur more often.

The four main asthma stages are:

1. intermittent
2. mild persistent
3. moderate persistent
4. severe persistent

These classifications are for people with asthma who do not take long-term controller medication.

The symptoms of asthma are the same at every stage, but their frequency and severity differ.

The main symptoms of asthma include:

- coughing
- wheezing
- tightening of the chest
- breathing difficulties

Lets explore each asthma stage in detail below.

1. Intermittent asthma

This is the least severe type. Doctors sometimes call it mild intermittent asthma.

For a person with intermittent asthma:

symptom frequency: Symptoms may occur about 2 days a week or less often.

nighttime awakenings: Symptoms may wake a person two or fewer times each month.

severity: Symptoms will not interfere with regular activities.
lung capacity: The result of a forced expiratory volume (FEV) lung capacity test is usually 80 percent or more of normal values.
inhaler use: A person will need to use a short-acting beta agonist (SABA) inhaler to control symptoms on 2 or fewer days each week.

2. Mild persistent asthma

This is the least severe form of persistent asthma.

For a person with mild persistent asthma:

symptom frequency: Symptoms will occur more often than twice a week but not every day.

nighttime awakenings: Symptoms tend to wake a person three or four times a month.

severity: Symptoms may have a minor impact on regular activities.
lung capacity: The result of a FEV lung capacity test is often 80 percent or more of normal values.

inhaler use: A person will need to use a SABA inhaler to control symptoms more often than twice a week but not daily.

3. Moderate persistent asthma
This is the second most severe form of asthma.

For a person with moderate persistent asthma:

symptom frequency: Symptoms will occur on a daily basis.

nighttime awakenings: Symptoms will wake a person more often than once a week but not every night.

severity: Symptoms will limit regular activities somewhat.

lung capacity: The result of a FEV lung capacity test tends to be 60–80 percent of normal values.

inhaler use: A person will need to use a SABA inhaler on a daily basis.

4. Severe persistent asthma

Severe persistent asthma is the most serious form. For a person with this type of asthma:

symptom frequency: Symptoms will arise throughout the day.

nighttime awakenings: A person will likely be woken by symptoms every night.

severity: Symptoms will significantly limit regular activities.

lung capacity: The result of a forced vital capacity lung function test tends to be less than 60 percent of normal values.

inhaler use: A person will need to use a SABA inhaler to control symptoms several times a day.

>> what is Arrhythmia, or Dysrhythmia ?

> An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm. When a heart beats too fast, the condition is called tachycardia. When a heart beats too slowly, the condition is called bradycardia.

Arrhythmia is caused by changes in heart tissue and activity or in the electrical signals that control your heartbeat. These changes can be caused by damage from disease, injury, or genetics. Often there are no symptoms, but some people feel an irregular heartbeat. You may feel faint or dizzy or have difficulty breathing.

The most common test used to diagnose an arrhythmia is an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). Your doctor will run other tests as needed. She or he may recommend medicines, placement of a device that can correct an irregular heartbeat, or surgery to repair nerves that are overstimulating the heart. If arrhythmia is left untreated, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. This can damage the heart, the brain, or other organs.

Arrhythmias differ from normal heartbeats in speed or rhythm. Arrhythmias are also grouped by where they occur—in the upper chambers of the heart, in its lower chambers, or between the chambers. The main types of arrhythmia are bradyarrhythmias; premature, or extra, beats; supraventricular arrhythmias; and ventricular arrhythmias.

>> COVID, obesity, age and Inflammation

> "The more fat mass, and in particular visceral fat mass, the worse your inflammatory response..."

>> As the Times notes, body fat is more than just an inert form of energy storage. On the contrary, fat is biologically active, and produces both hormones and immune-system proteins that affect nearby cells, causing a persistent low-grade inflammation regardless of any actual infection.

Inflammation is the body’s response to an invader, and sometimes it can be so vigorous that it is more harmful than the infection that triggered it. “The more fat mass, and in particular visceral fat mass, the worse your inflammatory response,” Dr. McLaughlin said, referring to the abdominal fat that surrounds internal organs.

Fat tissue is composed mostly of fat cells, or adipocytes. It also contains pre-adipocytes, which mature into fat cells, and a variety of immune cells, including a type called adipose tissue macrophages. -NY Times

As part of the study, Dr. McLaughlin, Blish and other colleagues experimented on fat obtained from bariatric surgery to see if the tissue would become infected with Covid. They found that yes, they could - but certain immune cells known as macrophages were also susceptible, and produced a 'robust' inflammatory response. The team also analyzed fat cells from Europeans who had died of Covid, and found the disease contained within fat near various organs.

According to Johns Hopkins professor of cardiology, Dr. David Kass, a man whose ideal weight is 170 lbs, yet who weighs 250 lbs, is carrying a substantial amount of fat in which the virus can 'hang out' - where it can then replicate and trigger a 'destructive immune system response.'

"If you really are very obese, fat is the biggest single organ in your body," said Kass, who added that Covid "can infect that tissue and actually reside there."

In April, British researchers published a definitive paper on the subject in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, a peer-reviewed journal. The researchers examined the medical records of almost 7 million people in England to look at the link between obesity and severe outcomes from Covid, including hospitalization and death.

The topline findings show only a moderate link between extra weight and Covid risk. But when the researchers looked more closely, they found that’s because in older people, being overweight does NOT drive excess risk.

So the researchers divided the patients into four age ranges: 20-39, 40-59, 60-79, and over 80. They found that in the two younger groups - including adults up to age 60 - being obese was associated with nearly ALL the risk that Covid would lead to intensive care or death. The findings held even after they adjusted for many different potential confounding factors, like smoking, non-weight-related illnesses, and wealth.

>> "SARS-CoV-2 infects human adipose tissue and elicits an inflammatory response consistent with severe COVID-19"

> Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the viral pathogen SARS-CoV-2, has taken the lives of millions of individuals around the world. Obesity is associated with adverse COVID-19 outcomes, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. In this report, we demonstrate that human adipose tissue from multiple depots is permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection and that infection elicits an inflammatory response, including the secretion of known inflammatory mediators of severe COVID-19. We identify two cellular targets of SARS-CoV-2 infection in adipose tissue: mature adipocytes and adipose tissue macrophages. Adipose tissue macrophage infection is largely restricted to a highly inflammatory subpopulation of macrophages, present at baseline, that is further activated in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Preadipocytes, while not infected, adopt a proinflammatory phenotype. We further demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 RNA is detectable in adipocytes in COVID-19 autopsy cases and is associated with an inflammatory infiltrate. Collectively, our findings indicate that adipose tissue supports SARS-CoV-2 infection and pathogenic inflammation and may explain the link between obesity and severe COVID-19.

>> What is a Fatty Liver?

A fatty liver is a condition in which the liver accumulates an excess of fat. Livers will naturally contain some fat. If the fat accumulation is more than 10% of the liver’s total weight, however, this is considered a fatty liver. Sometimes, this condition may not result in medical complications, but this is not always the case.

One of the possible complications of this condition is steatohepatitis, which is the inflammation of the liver. This may lead to liver damage. A damaged liver may become hardened and scarred, which is a condition called cirrhosis. Cirrhosis can be a serious medical condition that may result in liver failure. A patient with untreated liver failure may experience swelling of the brain, bleeding disorders, and infections.

This condition will not directly result in any symptoms, however, symptoms due to liver damage may become noticeable. If the damage to the liver becomes severe, which may take years, the patient may experience fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and weight loss. Some patients may also have confusion and general weakness.

There are two general types of fatty liver. If the condition is due to alcohol abuse, it is referred to as alcoholic fatty liver. When the condition is caused by other factors, it is called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This condition may be caused by more than one factor. Alcohol abuse often causes it. A diet that is excessively high in fat may help contribute to the condition, however, it cannot be the sole cause. Malnutrition and rapid weight loss may also be contributing factors. Other medical conditions may also be associated with this, such as diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity.

Fatty liver is a condition in which a liver accumulates too much fat, often because of alcohol abuse or other diseases. The signs...
