    • Dose-Dependent Effect of 'Internet Addiction' and Sleep Problems

      More evidence suggests the severity of internet addiction (IA) is directly related to the severity of sleep problems in youth. Results from a study of more than 4000 adolescent students show IA severity was linked to less sleep and to daytime sleepiness. In addition, boys aged 12-14 years who were addicted to computer games vs social media networking were the most affected.

    • RE: Simple Blood-based Cancer Tests Show Early Promise

      @ganesh Dr Iain Frame, CEO of NCRI, commented that the results "are promising and build on this research group's expertise in other cancers, such as lung cancer. "It's obviously early days but we look forward to seeing the results from the larger group of patients that are now being investigated." Other experts suggested that the results were perhaps too preliminary to be promising at this stage.

    • Pathophysiology of Hypertension ?

      The pathogenesis of essential hypertension is multifactorial and highly complex. The kidney is both the contributing and the target organ of the hypertensive processes, and the disease involves the interaction of multiple organ systems and numerous mechanisms of independent or interdependent pathways. Factors that play an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension include genetics, activation of neurohormonal systems such as the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, obesity, and increased dietary salt intake.

    • RE: A patient has developed a pruritic rash with fever around 15 days after renal transplantation, diagnosed as graft-versus-host disease. What is the prognosis?

      @amitesh Acute GVHD may initially appear as a pruritic or painful rash (median onset, day 19 post-transplantation; range, 5-47 d). A hyperacute form of GVHD has been described as a disorder including fever, generalized erythroderma, and desquamation developing 7-14 days after transplantation. Acute GVHD is a clinicopathologic syndrome involving the skin, liver, and gut. Staging and grading is important in determining the management and prognosis and for comparing the results of immunosuppressive prophylaxis. The overall grade of acute GVHD is predictive of the patient's outcome, with the highest rates of mortality in those with grade IV, or severe, GVHD. The response to treatment is also predictive of outcomes in GVHD of grades II-IV. Patients with no response or with progression have a mortality rate as high as 75%, compared with 20-25% in those with a complete response. Factors associated with impaired survival are HLA-nonidentical marrow donors, liver abnormalities in addition to GVHD, and early time to onset and treatment of GVHD. Late GI symptoms (more than 100 days posttransplant) were reported in 71 allogeneic stem cell transplant patients. Following an endoscopy, 45 (63%) were diagnosed with GI-GVHD. Of these 45 patients, 39 (87%) had late acute GVHD. The median survival time from the first endoscopy was 8.5 months. The incidence of nonrelapse mortality at 6 months was 31% in patients with GI-GVHD compared to 19% in patients without GI-GVHD (P = 0.42). All patients with GI-GVHD were on steroid therapy, and close to one-third of these patients needed total parenteral nutrition.

    • RE: How to control psychosomatic headache?

      @japmaan No treatment (medication or otherwise) can cure tension headaches. Medicines help you manage and get relief from your symptoms so that you can enjoy more of life. If over-the-counter pain relievers don’t help, your provider may prescribe medication. Certain medications reduce how often your headaches happen or how much they hurt. The antidepressant amitriptyline (Elavil) has helped some people with chronic tension headaches. Opioids should not be used.

    • RE: How to cure ulcer on the tongue?

      @ganesh Tongue ulcers tend to heal on their own. Researchers note that most lesions heal in 4–14 days without treatment. Although tongue ulcers tend to clear up on their own, various home remedies may help ease the symptoms during the healing process. People can soothe tongue ulcers at home by rinsing the mouth with: clean water, especially after eating, warm salt water, baking soda dissolved in water. They can also try applying very cold water to the ulcer or sucking on ice chips. Medical treatment for tongue ulcers generally focuses on easing the symptoms while identifying and treating any underlying conditions responsible for the ulcers. OTC medications can be a helpful remedy for symptoms of a tongue ulcer. People can try using pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, or numbing gels, such as benzocaine. However, the numbing action may make it harder to feel the tongue. People using the gel should, therefore, take care to avoid further injury to the tongue, such as by biting it.
