BATHROOM INTERRUPT YOUR SLEEP

Benign prostate Hyperplasia

Prostate cancer

An Enlarged Prostate Could Be To Blame

As men age, it’s not uncommon that they find they make more frequent trips to the bathroom-especially in the middle of the night. For most men, this inconvenience is often made worse by the need to push or strain while urinating. Some even encounter pain or burning while urinating.

While the majority of men over age 60 experience these symptoms, most are not aware of what causes them. Symptoms such as these may be signs of an enlarged prostate, one of the most common urological disorders affecting men over the age of 60.

In fact, 60 percent of men over the age of 60 and up to 80 percent of men over the age of 80 have an enlarged prostate.

An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is not life threatening. It is not a form of prostate cancer, nor does it lead to prostate cancer. However, as many men know, it can cause significant discomfort, inconvenience and awkwardness.

BPH symptoms differ depending on the severity of the condition. The most common symptoms include:

Waking at night to urinate

Frequent need to urinate (sometimes every two hours or less)

Pain or burning during urination

Repeated, sudden or uncontrollable urge to urinate

Pushing or straining to begin urination

Feeling like the bladder does not empty during urination

Dribbling after urination

As a man ages, the chance of developing BPH increases. This is because of growth patterns associated with the prostate. After a male reaches the age of 40, a second round of prostate growth often occurs as a natural part of the aging process.

The prostate is a gland located just below the bladder whose main function is to produce fluid for semen. As it expands, it can squeeze and place pressure on the urethra, like a clamp on a garden hose, thus constricting urinary flow. As pressure builds and the “clamp” tightens, the result can be some of the commonly perceived BPH symptoms.

Although there is no known cure for BPH, there are medications and procedures available to reduce the symptoms. These range from prescription oral medications and surgical procedures to minimally invasive, office-based procedures that can provide rapid symptom relief.

CHICAGO (WGN) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday the first confirmed case of the coronavirus in Chicago.

Authorities believe the case is travel-related and the Chicago woman, in her 60s, came in through O’Hare International Airport on Jan. 13.

The woman is hospitalized in isolation. She is reported to be well and in stable condition.

Health officials are currently monitoring 63 patients across 22 states. The only confirmed cases are in Washington and Illinois.

The disease, which originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, has already left dozens of people dead and more than 800 infected as it spreads throughout Asia andas far as the United States.

At least 10 cities in central Hubei province are facing travel restrictions, including Wuhan.

Major cities including Beijing have canceled some or all major Lunar New Year celebrations — a rare, drastic step to reign in the spread of the virus

COGNITIVE THERAPY REDUCES REPEATED ATTEMPT OF SUICIDE

Recent suicide attempters treated with cognitive therapy were 50 percent less likely to try to kill themselves again within 18 months than those who did not receive the therapy, report researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A targeted form of cognitive therapy designed to prevent suicide proved better at lifting depression and feelings of hopelessness than the usual care available in the community, according to Gregory Brown, Ph.D., Aaron Beck, M.D., University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues, who published their findings in the August 3, 2005 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

“Since even one previous attempt multiplies suicide risk by 38-40 times and suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for adults under 65, a proven way to prevent repeat attempts has important public health implications,” said NIMH Director Thomas Insel, M.D.

To achieve a large enough sample to reliably detect differences in the effectiveness of interventions, the researchers first screened hundreds of potential suicide attempters admitted to the emergency room of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, ultimately recruiting 120 patients into the study.

Averaging in their mid-thirties, 61 percent of the participants were female, 60 percent black, 35 percent white, and 5 percent Hispanic and other ethnicities. Most had attempted to kill themselves by drug overdosing (58 percent), with 17 percent by stabbing, 7 percent by jumping, and 4 percent by hanging, shooting or drowning. Seventy-seven percent had major depression and 68 percent a substance use disorder.

After a clinical evaluation, each participant was randomly assigned to one of two conditions: cognitive therapy or usual care — services available in the community. Cognitive therapy was developed by Beck in the 1970s and has been applied successfully in a wide variety of psychiatric disorders. Those in the cognitive group were scheduled to receive 10 outpatients weekly or biweekly cognitive therapy sessions specifically developed for preventing suicide attempts. The sessions helped patients find a more effective way of looking at their problems by learning new ways to handle negative thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. In a relapse-prevention task near the end of their therapy, they were asked to focus directly on the events, thoughts, feelings and behaviours that led to their previous suicide attempts and explain how they would respond in a more adaptive way. If they passed this task successfully, their cognitive therapy ended; if they were unsuccessful, additional sessions were provided.

Both groups were encouraged to receive usual care from clinicians in the community and were tracked by study case managers by mail and phone throughout the 18-month follow-up period. The case managers offered referrals to — but not payment for — local mental health and drug abuse treatment and social services.

About half of the participants in both groups took psychotropic medications and about 13 to 16 percent received drug abuse treatment. About 27 percent of those in the usual care group received psychotherapy outside of the study, compared to 21 percent of those also receiving cognitive therapy.

Over the year-and-a-half follow-up period, only 24 percent (13) of those in the cognitive therapy group made repeat suicide attempts, compared to 42 percent (23) of the usual care group. Although the groups did not differ significantly in suicidal thoughts, those who received cognitive therapy scored better on measures of depression severity and hopelessness, which the researchers suggest “may be more highly associated with a reduced risk of repeat suicide attempts.”

VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES INCREASE RISK OF EYE DISORDER

An article posted by Medical News Todayreveals that specific vitamins are critical for maintaining healthy eyes and preventing the development of certain eye conditions:https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326758.php#vitamins

Four important vitamins for proper eye functioning are Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and B Vitamins, and deficiencies in these vitamins may progress eye disorders. Vitamin A deficiency has been linked to night blindness, and an increase in B vitamins may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (a degenerative eye disease that impacts vision). Additionally, both Vitamin E and C deficiencies have been suggested to lead the development of cataracts.

According to an article published inPLOS (Public Library of Science) Medicine, 90% of world’s blind population lives in poor countries, and people afflicted with visual impairment due to cataracts were poorer than those with normal vision. This is especially significant because individuals living in poverty are more likely to lack necessary vitamins in their diets and be more at risk for conditions related to vitamin deficiencies.

It is important that we receive the proper vitamins through our diet and supplementation in order to prevent the development of eye conditions.

SMOKING

Effects of Tobacco on human

Smoking is very injurious to our Health. Smoking is a habit that you may acquire at will but coming out of it can be virtually impossible for many. Addiction to tabacco ,especially smoking is a major health problem globally and is a cause for serious respiratory diseases such as Asthma ,Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , as well as Tuberclosis and Lung cancer . The inhaling of the toxins found in tabacco smoke ,especially nicotine causes potentially irreversible lung damage. Effects of smoking are similiar to that of heroin and other drugs Anyone who starts using tabacco ,especially during their teens can become addicted to nicotine .The younger you are when you begin to smoke ,the more likely you are to become addicted to nicotine much like cocaine ,heroin or other drugs .The repeated ,compulsive seeking or use of a substance despite its harmful effects and unwanted consequences is addiction which is also marked by a mental or emotional dependence on a substance.

Using tabacco products regularly leads to addiction as they are easily absorbed into the blood through the lungs and quickly spreads throughout the body. It leads to blockage of heart arteries that can cause the heart attack . According to WHO estimate,in developing countries ,35% of all deaths related to heart and blood vessel disorders in the 35-69 years age groups are related to smoking .The incidence of heart disease is 3-5 times higher in smokers than non smokers .People who smokes 20 or more cigarettes a dayare twice as likely to have a heart attack as non smokers .Smokers have a 16 times greater risk of developing peripheral vascular diseases (blocked blood vessels in legs or feet) than people who never smoked. The blockage if unchecked leads to gangrene and amputation of limbs.

There are very good medicines in Homeopathy for removing the addiction of smoking but your will power is also very important . In HOMEOPATHYthere is also very good medicines for the cure of all respiratory related problems wheather it is COPD or Asthma or Tuberclosis or any other respiratory diseases .

Ethiopian PM Abiy Expect Parliamentary Elections in May or June

By Ibsa Oromo from Reuters

CAPE TOWN — Ethiopia will hold a parliamentary election in May or June despite concerns about security and logistics, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Sunday.

The election will be the first under Nobel Peace Laureate Abiy, who took office in April 2018 and launched political and economic reforms.

His reform agenda has also stoked violence and highlighted ethnic divisions in the country of about 105 million people, and the election board said last June that the security situation could delay the 2020 election.

“On the schedule, I am not sure whether it is May or June, because the schedule will be declared by the election board but I think we will conduct an election this year because it is a constitutional mandate,” Abiy, who is visiting South Africa, said in response to a question at a media briefing with President Cyril Ramaphosa.

“There might be lots of challenges, not only logistics but also peace and security … It is better for Ethiopians and for Ethiopian parties to conduct the election on time in a very peaceful and democratic manner,” he said.

Opposition politicians have warned against any delay in the election, and critics have said that postponing the vote could cause an adverse social reaction, fuel regional conflicts and damage Abiy’s democratic credentials.

Ethiopia has regularly held elections since 1995 but, with the exception of the 2005 election, no election has been competitive.

Abiy also said Ethiopia hoped Ramaphosa, who next month assumes a one-year chairmanship of the African Union continental body, would help broker a deal with Egypt over deadlocked talks to develop a new $4 billion dam on the Nile River.

Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan are due to convene on Monday in Washington with the aim of resolving their disagreements by Jan. 15 over the massive hydroelectric dam that Ethiopia is building.

“He (Ramaphosa) is a good friend for both Ethiopia and Egypt, also as incoming AU chair he can make a discussion between both parties so as to solve the issue peacefully,” Abiy said.

The dam dispute has sparked a diplomatic crisis between Egypt and Ethiopia.

“I believe a solution is possible,” said Ramaphosa. (Reporting by Wendell Roelf Editing by Timothy Heritage and Frances Kerry)
