Encyclopedia Entry for Factor V Deficiency :
Factor V deficiency. Blood clotting is a complex process involving as many as 20 different proteins in blood plasma. These proteins are called blood coagulation factors. Factor V deficiency is caused by a lack of factor V. When certain blood clotting factors are low or missing, your blood does not clot properly. Factor V deficiency is rare. It may be caused by: A defective factor V gene passed down through families (inherited) An antibody that interferes with normal factor V function You can develop an antibody that interferes with factor V: After giving birth After being treated with a certain type of fibrin glue After surgery With autoimmune diseases and certain cancers Sometimes the cause is unknown. The disease is similar to hemophilia , except bleeding into joints is less common. In the inherited form of factor V deficiency, a family history of a bleeding disorder is a risk factor.
Excessive bleeding with menstrual periods and after childbirth often occurs. Other symptoms can include: Bleeding into the skin Bleeding of the gums Excessive bruising Nosebleeds Prolonged or excessive loss of blood with surgery or trauma Umbilical stump bleeding.
Tests to detect factor V deficiency include: Factor V assay Blood clotting tests, including partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and prothrombin time Bleeding time.
You will be given fresh blood plasma or fresh frozen plasma infusions during a bleeding episode or after surgery. These treatments will correct the deficiency temporarily.
The following resources can provide more information on factor V deficiency: National Hemophilia Foundation -- www.hemophilia.org/Bleeding-Disorders/Types-of-Bleeding-Disorders/Other-Factor-Deficiencies/Factor-V NIH/NLM Genetics Home Reference -- ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/factor-v-deficiency.
The outlook is good with diagnosis and proper treatment.
Severe bleeding (hemorrhage) could occur.

Blood

Encyclopedia Entry for Factor VII Deficiency :
Factor VII deficiency. When you bleed, a series of reactions take place in the body that helps blood clots form. This process is called the coagulation cascade. It involves special proteins called coagulation, or clotting factors. You may have a higher chance of excess bleeding if one or more of these factors are missing or are not functioning as they should. Factor VII is one such coagulation factor. Factor VII deficiency runs in families (inherited) and is very rare. Both parents must have the gene to pass the disorder on to their children. A family history of a bleeding disorder can be a risk factor. Factor VII deficiency can also be due to another condition or use of certain medicines. This is called acquired factor VII deficiency. It can be caused by: Low vitamin K (some babies are born with vitamin K deficiency) Severe liver disease Use of medicines that prevent clotting (anticoagulants such as warfarin).
Symptoms may include any of the following: Bleeding from mucus membranes Bleeding into joints Bleeding into muscles Bruising easily Heavy menstrual bleeding Nosebleeds that do not stop easily Umbilical cord bleeding after birth.
Tests that may be done include: Partial thromboplastin time ( PTT ) Plasma factor VII activity Prothrombin time ( PT ) Mixing study, a special PTT test to confirm factor VII deficiency .
Bleeding can be controlled by getting intravenous (IV) infusions of normal plasma, concentrates of factor VII, or genetically produced (recombinant) factor VII. You will need frequent treatment during bleeding episodes because factor VII does not last for long inside the body. A form of factor VII called NovoSeven can also be used. If you have factor VII deficiency due to a lack of vitamin K, you can take this vitamin by mouth, through injections under the skin, or through a vein (intravenously). If you have this bleeding disorder, be sure to: Tell your health care providers before you have any kind of procedure, including surgery and dental work. Tell your family members because they may have the same disorder but do not know it yet.

You can expect a good outcome with proper treatment. Inherited factor VII deficiency is a lifelong condition. The outlook for acquired factor VII deficiency depends on the cause. If it is caused by liver disease, the outcome depends on how well your liver disease can be treated. Taking vitamin K supplements will treat vitamin K deficiency.
Complications may include: Excessive bleeding (hemorrhage) Stroke or other nervous system problems from central nervous system bleeding Joint problems in severe cases when bleeding happens often.
Get emergency treatment right away if you have severe, unexplained bleeding.
There is no known prevention for inherited factor VII deficiency. When a lack of vitamin K is the cause, using vitamin K can help.

Factor X deficiency. When you bleed, a series of reactions take place in the body that helps blood clots form. This process is called the coagulation cascade. It involves special proteins called coagulation, or clotting, factors. You may have a higher chance of excess bleeding if one or more of these factors are missing or are not functioning like they should. Factor X is one such coagulation factor. Factor X deficiency is often caused by an inherited defect in the factor X gene. This is called inherited factor X deficiency. Bleeding ranges from mild to severe depending on how severe the deficiency is. Factor X deficiency can also be due to another condition or use of certain medicines. This is called acquired factor X deficiency. Acquired factor X deficiency is common. It can be caused by: Lack of vitamin K (some newborns are born with vitamin K deficiency) Buildup of abnormal proteins in the tissues and organs ( amyloidosis ) Severe liver disease Use of medicines that prevent clotting (anticoagulants such as warfarin) Women with factor X deficiency may first be diagnosed when they have very heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding after childbirth. The condition may be first noticed in newborn boys if they have bleeding that lasts longer than normal after circumcision.
Symptoms may include any of the following: Bleeding into the joints Bleeding into the muscles Bruising easily Heavy menstrual bleeding Mucus membrane bleeding Nosebleeds that do not stop easily Umbilical cord bleeding after birth.
Tests that may be done include: Low factor X activity Normal thrombin time Prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT) Prolonged prothrombin time (PT).
Bleeding can be controlled by getting intravenous (IV) infusions of plasma or concentrates of clotting factors. If you lack vitamin K, your doctor will prescribe vitamin K for you to take by mouth, through injections under the skin, or through a vein (intravenously). If you have this bleeding disorder, be sure to: Tell your health care providers before you have any kind of procedure, including surgery and dental work.

Encyclopedia Entry for Familial Mediterranean Fever :
Familial Mediterranean fever. FMF is most often caused by a mutation in a gene named MEFV. This gene creates proteins involved in inflammation. FMF most often affects people of Mediterranean ancestry. These include non-Ashkenazi (Sephardic) Jews, Armenians, and Arabs. People from other ethnic groups can also be affected.
Symptoms usually begin between ages 5 and 15. Inflammation in the lining of the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, skin, or joints occurs along with high fevers that usually peak in 12 to 24 hours. Attacks may vary in severity of symptoms. People are usually symptom-free between attacks. Symptoms may include repeated episodes of: Abdominal pain Chest pain that is sharp and gets worse when taking a breath Fever or alternating chills and fever Joint pain Skin sores (lesions) that are red and swollen and range from 5 to 20 cm in diameter.
If genetic testing shows that you have the MEFV gene mutation and your symptoms match the typical pattern, the diagnosis is nearly certain. Laboratory tests or x-rays can rule out other possible diseases to help make the diagnosis. Levels of certain blood tests may be higher than normal when done during an attack. Tests may include: Complete blood count (CBC) C-reactive protein to check for inflammation Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) to check for inflammation Fibrinogen test to check blood clotting White blood cell count.
The goal of treatment for FMF is to control symptoms. Colchicine, a medicine that reduces inflammation, may help during an attack and may prevent further attacks. It can also help prevent a serious complication called systemic amyloidosis , which is common in people with FMF. NSAIDs may be used to treat fever and pain.
There is no known cure for FMF. Most people continue to have attacks, but the number and severity of attacks is different from person to person.
Amyloidosis may lead to kidney damage or not being able to absorb nutrients from food (malabsorption). Fertility problems in women and men and arthritis are also complications.
Call your provider if you or your child develops symptoms of this condition.

Fanconi AnemiaETDF50,410,1290,5430,7250,125440,467500,605910,702500,815430Very rare genetic defect in proteins responsible for DNA repair.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fanconi Anemia :
Fanconi anemia. Fanconi anemia is due to an abnormal gene that damages cells, which keeps them from repairing damaged DNA. To inherit Fanconi anemia, a person must get one copy of the abnormal gene from each parent. The condition is most often diagnosed in children between 3 and 14 years old.
People with Fanconi anemia have lower-than-normal numbers of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets (cells that help the blood clot). Not enough white blood cells can lead to infections. A lack of red blood cells may result in fatigue ( anemia ). A lower-than-normal amount of platelets may lead to excess bleeding. Most people with Fanconi anemia have some of these symptoms: Abnormal heart, lungs, and digestive tract Bone problems (especially the hips, spine or ribs) can cause a curved spine ( scoliosis ) Changes in the color of the skin, such as darkened areas of the skin, called caf au lait spots, and vitiligo Deafness due to abnormal ears Eye or eyelid problems Kidneys that did not form correctly Problems with the arms and hands, such as missing, extra or misshapen thumbs, problems of the hands and the bone in the lower arm, and small or missing bone in the forearm Short height Small head Small testicles and genital changes Other possible symptoms: Failure to thrive Learning disability Low birth weight Intellectual disability.
Common tests for Fanconi anemia include: Bone marrow biopsy Complete blood count ( CBC ) Developmental tests Medicines added to a blood sample to check for damage to chromosomes Hand x-ray and other imaging studies ( CT scan , MRI ) Hearing test HLA tissue typing (to find matching bone-marrow donors) Ultrasound of the kidneys Pregnant women may have amniocentesis or chorionic villous sampling to diagnose the condition in their unborn child.
People with mild to moderate blood cell changes who do not need a transfusion may only need regular check-ups and blood count checks. The health care provider will closely monitor the person for other cancers. These may include leukemia or cancers of the head, neck, or urinary system. Medicines called growth factors (such as erythropoietin, G-CSF, and GM-CSF) can improve blood counts for a short while. A bone marrow transplant can cure the blood count problems of Fanconi anemia. (The best bone marrow donor is a brother or sister whose tissue type matches the person affected by Fanconi anemia.) People who have had a successful bone marrow transplant still need regular check-ups because of the risk for additional cancers. Hormone therapy combined with low doses of steroids (such as hydrocortisone or prednisone) is prescribed to those who do not have a bone marrow donor. Most people respond to hormone therapy. But everyone with the disorder will quickly get worse when the medicines are stopped. In most cases, these medicines eventually stop working. Additional treatments may include: Antibiotics (possibly given through a vein) to treat infections Blood transfusions to treat symptoms due to low blood counts Human papilloma virus vaccine Most people with this condition visit a a doctor on regular basis, specializing in treating: Blood disorders (hematologist) Diseases related to glands (endocrinologist) Eye diseases (ophthalmologist) Bone diseases (orthopedist) Kidney disease (nephrologist) Diseases related to female reproductive organs and breasts (gynecologist).
The survival rates vary from person to person. The outlook is poor in those with low blood counts. New and improved treatments, such as bone marrow transplants, have likely improved survival. People with Fanconi anemia are more likely to develop several types of blood disorders and cancers. These may include leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and cancer of the head, neck, or urinary system. Women with Fanconi anemia who become pregnant should be watched carefully by a specialist. Such women often need transfusions throughout pregnancy. Men with Fanconi anemia have decreased fertility.
Complications of Fanconi anemia may include: Bone marrow failure Blood cancer Liver cancers (both benign and malignant).
Families with a history of this condition can have genetic counseling to better understand their risk. Vaccination can reduce certain complications, including pneumococcal pneumonia, hepatitis, and varicella infections. People with Fanconi anemia should avoid cancer-causing substances (carcinogens) and have regular check-ups to screen for cancer.

FatigueETDF40,250,950,7500,12850,29030,157500,381020,595420,875000Fatigue is a term used to describe an overall feeling of tiredness or lack of energy. It isnt the same as simply feeling drowsy or sleepy. When youre fatigued, you have no motivation and no energy. Being sleepy may be a symptom of fatigue, but its not the same thing.
Fatigue is a common symptom of many medical conditions that range in severity from mild to serious. Its also a natural result of some lifestyle choices, such as lack of exercise or poor diet.
If your fatigue doesnt resolve with proper rest and nutrition, or you suspect its caused by an underlying physical or mental health condition, see your doctor. They can help diagnose the cause of your fatigue and work with you to treat it.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fatigue :
Fatigue. Fatigue is different from drowsiness. Drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep. Fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation. Drowsiness and apathy (a feeling of not caring about what happens) can be symptoms that go along with fatigue. Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical activity, emotional stress, boredom, or lack of sleep. Fatigue is a common symptom, and it is usually not due to a serious disease. But it can be a sign of a more serious mental or physical condition. When fatigue is not relieved by enough sleep, good nutrition, or a low-stress environment, it should be evaluated by your health care provider.
There are many possible causes of fatigue, including: Anemia (including iron deficiency anemia ) Depression or grief Iron deficiency (without anemia) Medicines, such as sedatives or antidepressants Persistent pain Sleep disorders such as insomnia , obstructive sleep apnea , or narcolepsy Thyroid gland that is underactive or overactive Use of alcohol or drugs, such as cocaine or narcotics, especially with regular use Fatigue can also occur with the following illnesses: Addison disease (a disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands don't produce enough hormones) Anorexia or other eating disorders Arthritis, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus Cancer Heart failure Diabetes Fibromyalgia Infection, especially one that takes a long time to recover from or treat, such as bacterial endocarditis (infection of the heart muscle or valves), parasitic infections, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS , tuberculosis , and mononucleosis Kidney disease Liver disease Malnutrition Certain medicines may also cause drowsiness or fatigue, including antihistamines for allergies, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, steroids, and diuretics (water pills). Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition in which symptoms of fatigue persist for at least 6 months and do not resolve with rest. The fatigue may be worsened with physical activity or mental stress. It is diagnosed based on the presence of a specific group of symptoms and after all other possible causes of fatigue are ruled out.
Here are some tips for reducing fatigue: Get enough sleep each night. Make sure your diet is healthy and well-balanced, and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Exercise regularly. Learn better ways to relax. Try yoga or meditation. Maintain a reasonable work and personal schedule. Change or reduce your stressors, if possible. For example, take a vacation or resolve relationship problems. Take a multivitamin. Talk to your provider about what is best for you. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and drug use. If you have long-term (chronic) pain or depression, treating it often helps the fatigue. Be aware that some antidepressant drugs may cause or worsen fatigue. If your drug is one of these, your provider may have to adjust the dosage or switch you to another drug. DO NOT stop or change any medicines without first talking to your provider. Stimulants (including caffeine) are not effective treatments for fatigue. They can make the problem worse when they are stopped. Sedatives also tend to worsen fatigue.
Call your provider right away if you have any of the following: Confusion or dizziness Blurred vision Little or no urine, or recent swelling and weight gain Thoughts of harming yourself or of committing suicide Call your provider for an appointment if you have any of the following: Unexplained weakness or fatigue, especially if you also have a fever or unintentional weight loss Constipation, dry skin, weight gain, or you cannot tolerate cold Wake up and fall back to sleep many times during the night Headaches all the time Are taking medicines, prescribed or non-prescribed, or using drugs that may cause fatigue or drowsiness Feel sad or depressed Insomnia.
Your provider will perform a complete physical examination, paying special attention to your heart, lymph nodes, thyroid, abdomen, and nervous system. You will be asked about your medical history, fatigue symptoms, and your lifestyle, habits, and feelings. Tests that may be ordered include the following: Blood tests to check for anemia, diabetes, inflammatory diseases, and possible infection Kidney function tests Liver function tests Thyroid function tests Urinalysis Treatment depends on the cause of your fatigue symptoms.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fever :
Fever. Normal body temperature may change during any given day. It is usually highest in the evening. Other factors that may affect body temperature are: A woman's menstrual cycle. In the second part of this cycle, her temperature may go up by 1 degree or more. Physical activity, strong emotion, eating, heavy clothing, medicines, high room temperature, and high humidity can all increase body temperature. Fever is an important part of the body's defense against infection. Most bacteria and viruses that cause infections in people thrive best at 98.6 F (37 C). Many infants and children develop high fevers with mild viral illnesses. Although a fever signals that a battle might be going on in the body, the fever is fighting for , not against the person. Brain damage from a fever generally will not occur unless the fever is over 107.6 F (42 C). Untreated fevers caused by infection will seldom go over 105 F (40.6 C) unless the child is overdressed or in a hot place. Febrile seizures do occur in some children. Most febrile seizures are over quickly and do not mean your child has epilepsy. These seizures also do not cause any permanent harm. Unexplained fevers that continue for days or weeks are called fevers of undetermined origin (FUO).
Almost any infection can cause a fever, including: Bone infections ( osteomyelitis ), appendicitis , skin infections or cellulitis , and meningitis Respiratory infections such as colds or flu -like illnesses, sore throats, ear infections , sinus infections , mononucleosis , bronchitis , pneumonia , and tuberculosis Urinary tract infections Viral gastroenteritis and bacterial gastroenteritis Children may have a low-grade fever for 1 or 2 days after some immunizations. Teething may cause a slight increase in a child's temperature, but not higher than 100 F (37.8 C). Autoimmune or inflammatory disorders may also cause fevers. Some examples are: Arthritis or connective tissue illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus Ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease Vasculitis or periarteritis nodosa The first symptom of a cancer may be a fever. This is particularly true of Hodgkin disease , non-Hodgkin lymphoma , and leukemia. Other possible causes of fever include: Blood clots or thrombophlebitis Medicines, such as some antibiotics, antihistamines, and seizure medicines.
A simple cold or other viral infection can sometimes cause a high fever (102 F to 104 F or 38.9 C to 40 C). This does not mean you or your child has a serious problem. Some serious infections don't cause a fever or can cause a very low body temperature, most often in infants. If the fever is mild and you have no other problems, you do not need treatment. Drink fluids and rest. The illness is probably not serious if your child: Is still interested in playing Is eating and drinking well Is alert and smiling at you Has a normal skin color Looks well when their temperature comes down Take steps to lower a fever if you or your child is uncomfortable, vomiting, dried out (dehydrated), or not sleeping well. Remember, the goal is to lower, not eliminate, the fever. When trying to lower a fever: DO NOT bundle up someone who has the chills. Remove excess clothing or blankets. The room should be comfortable, not too hot or cool. Try one layer of lightweight clothing, and one lightweight blanket for sleep. If the room is hot or stuffy, a fan may help. A lukewarm bath or sponge bath may help cool someone with a fever. This is effective after medicine is given -- otherwise the temperature might bounce right back up. DO NOT use cold baths, ice, or alcohol rubs. These cool the skin, but often make the situation worse by causing shivering, which raises the core body temperature. Here are some guidelines for taking medicine to lower a fever: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) help reduce fever in children and adults. Sometimes health care providers advise you to use both types of medicine. Take acetaminophen every 4 to 6 hours. It works by turning down the brain's thermostat. Take ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours. DO NOT use ibuprofen in children 6 months or younger. Aspirin is very effective for treating fever in adults. DO NOT give aspirin to a child unless your child's provider tells you to. Know how much you or your child weighs. Then check the instructions on the package to find the correct dose. In children 3 months or younger, call your child's provider first before giving medicines. Eating and drinking: Everyone, particularly children, should drink plenty of fluids. Water, popsicles, soup, and gelatin are all good choices. In younger children do not give too much fruit juice or apple juice, and do not give sports drinks. Although eating is fine, do not force foods.
Call a provider right away if your child: Is 3 months or younger and has a rectal temperature of 100.4 F (38 C) or higher Is 3 to 12 months old and has a fever of 102.2 F (39 C) or higher Is 2 years or younger and has a fever that lasts longer than 24 to 48 hours Is older and has a fever for longer than 48 to 72 hours Has a fever of 105 F (40.5 C) or higher, unless it comes down readily with treatment and the person is comfortable Has other symptoms that suggest an illness may need to be treated, such as a sore throat, earache, or cough Has had fevers come and go for up to a week or more, even if these fevers are not very high Has a serious medical illness, such as a heart problem, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, or cystic fibrosis Recently had an immunization Has a new rash or bruises Has pain with urination Has a weakened immune system (because of chronic steroid therapy, a bone marrow or organ transplant, spleen removal, HIV/AIDS, or cancer treatment) Has recently traveled to another country Call your provider right away if you are an adult and you: Have a fever of 105 F (40.5 C) or higher, unless it comes down readily with treatment and you are comfortable Have a fever that stays at or keeps rising above 103 F (39.4 C) Have a fever for longer than 48 to 72 hours Have had fevers come and go for up to a week or more, even if they are not very high Have a serious medical illness, such as a heart problem, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, COPD, or other chronic lung problems Have a new rash or bruises Have pain with urination Have a weakened immune system (from chronic steroid therapy, a bone marrow or organ transplant, spleen removal, HIV/AIDS, or cancer treatment) Have recently traveled to another country Call 911 if you or your child has a fever and: Is crying and cannot be calmed (children) Cannot be awakened easily or at all Seems confused Cannot walk Has difficulty breathing, even after the nose is cleared Has blue lips, tongue, or nails Has a very bad headache Has a stiff neck Refuses to move an arm or leg (children) Has a seizure.
Your provider will perform a physical exam. This may include a detailed examination of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck, chest, and abdomen to look for the cause of the fever. Treatment depends on the duration and cause of the fever, as well as other symptoms. The following tests may be performed: Blood tests, such as a CBC or blood differential Urinalysis X-ray of the chest.

Your provider will perform a physical exam. This may include a detailed examination of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck, chest, and abdomen to look for the cause of the fever. Treatment depends on the duration and cause of the fever, as well as other symptoms. The following tests may be performed: Blood tests, such as a CBC or blood differential Urinalysis X-ray of the chest.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fibrocystic Breast Disease :
Fibrocystic breast disease. The exact cause of the condition is not known. Hormones made in the ovaries may make a woman's breasts feel swollen, lumpy, or painful before or during menstruation each month. Up to half of women have this condition at some time during their life. It is most common between the ages of 20 and 45. It is rare in women after menopause unless they are taking estrogen.
Symptoms are more often worse right before your menstrual period. They tend to get better after your period starts. If you have heavy, irregular periods, your symptoms may be worse. If you take birth control pills, you may have fewer symptoms. In most cases, symptoms get better after menopause. Symptoms may include: Pain or discomfort in both breasts Pain that commonly comes and goes with your period, but may last through the whole month Breasts that feel full, swollen, or heavy Pain or discomfort under the arms Thick or lumpy breasts You may have a lump in the same area of the breast that becomes larger before each period and shrinks afterward. This type of lump moves when it is pushed with your fingers. It does not feel stuck or fixed to the tissue around it. This type of lump is common with fibrocystic breasts.
Your health care provider will examine you. This will include a breast exam. Tell your provider if you have noticed any breast changes. If you are over 40, ask your provider how often you should have a mammogram to screen for breast cancer. For women under 35, a breast ultrasound may be used to look more closely at breast tissue. You may need further tests if a lump was found during a breast exam or your mammogram result was abnormal. Another mammogram and breast ultrasound may be done.
Women who have no symptoms or only mild symptoms DO NOT need treatment. Your provider may recommend the following self-care measures: Take over-the-counter medicine, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain Apply heat or ice on the breast Wear a well-fitting bra or a sports bra Some women believe that eating less fat, caffeine, or chocolate helps with their symptoms. There is no evidence that these measures help. Vitamin E, thiamine, magnesium, and evening primrose oil are not harmful in most cases. Studies have not shown these to be helpful. Talk with your provider before taking any medicine or supplement. For more severe symptoms, your provider may prescribe hormones, such as birth control pills or other medicine. Take the medicine exactly as instructed. Be sure to let your provider know if you have side effects from the medicine. Surgery is never done to treat this condition. But if you have a lump that is suspicious, your provider may recommend a biopsy. In this test, a small amount of tissue is removed from the lump and examined under a microscope.
If your breast exams and mammograms are normal, you DO NOT need to worry about your symptoms. Fibrocystic breast changes DO NOT increase your risk of breast cancer. Symptoms usually improve after menopause.
Call your provider if you: You find new or different lumps during your breast self-exam. You have new discharge from the nipple or any discharge that is bloody or clear. You have redness or puckering of the skin, or flattening or indentation of the nipple.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fibromyalgia :
Fibromyalgia. The cause is not known. Researchers think that fibromyalgia is due to a problem with how the central nervous system processes pain. Possible causes or triggers of fibromyalgia include: Physical or emotional trauma. Abnormal pain response: Areas in the brain that control pain may react differently in people with fibromyalgia. Sleep disturbances. Infection, such as a virus, although none has been identified. Fibromyalgia is more common in females as compared to males. Women ages 20 to 50 are most affected. The following conditions may be seen with fibromyalgia or have similar symptoms: Long-term (chronic) neck or back pain Long-term (chronic) fatigue syndrome Depression Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) Lyme disease Sleep disorders.
Pain is the main symptom of fibromyalgia. The areas where pain occurs are called tender points. These points are found in the soft tissue on the back of the head, neck, shoulders, chest, lower back, hips, elbows, and knees. The pain then spreads out from these areas. The qualities of the pain are: It may be mild to severe. It may feel like a deep ache, or a stabbing, burning pain. It may feel like it is coming from the joints, although the joints are not affected. People with fibromyalgia tend to wake up with body pain and stiffness. For some people, pain improves during the day and gets worse at night. Some people have pain all day long. Pain may get worse with: Physical activity Cold or damp weather Anxiety and stress Most of the people with fibromyalgia have fatigue, depressed mood, and sleep problems. Many people say that they cannot get to sleep or stay asleep, and they feel tired when they wake up. Other symptoms of fibromyalgia may include: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Memory and concentration problems Numbness and tingling in hands and feet Reduced ability to exercise Tension or migraine headaches.
To be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you must have had at least 3 months of widespread pain with one or more of the following: Ongoing problems with sleep Fatigue Thinking or memory problems It is not necessary to find tender points during the exam to make a diagnosis. Results from the physical exam, blood and urine tests, and imaging tests are normal. These tests may be done to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms. Studies of breathing during sleeping may be done to find out if you have a condition called sleep apnea. Fibromyalgia may also occur in people who have other forms of arthritis, such as: Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis Spondyloarthritis Systemic lupus erythematosus.
The goals of treatment are to help relieve pain and other symptoms, and to help the person cope with the symptoms. The first type of treatment may involve: Physical therapy Exercise and fitness program Stress-relief methods, including light massage and relaxation techniques If these treatments do not work, your health care provider may also prescribe an antidepressant or muscle relaxant. Sometimes, combinations of medicines are helpful. The goal of these medicines is to improve your sleep and help you better tolerate pain. Medicine should be used along with exercise and behavior therapy. Duloxetine (Cymbalta), pregabalin (Lyrica), and milnacipran (Savella) are medicines that are approved specifically for treating fibromyalgia. Other medicines are also used to treat the condition, such as: Anti-seizure drugs, such as gabapentin Other antidepressants, such as amitriptyline Muscle relaxants, such as cyclobenzaprine Pain relievers, such as tramadol If you have sleep apnea, a device called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may be prescribed. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an important part of treatment. This therapy helps you learn how to: Deal with negative thoughts Keep a diary of pain and symptoms Recognize what makes your symptoms worse Seek out enjoyable activities Set limits Complementary and alternative treatments may also be helpful. These may include: Tai chi Yoga Acupuncture Support groups may also help. Things you can do to help take care of yourself include: Eat a well-balanced diet. Avoid caffeine. Practice a good sleep routine to improve quality of sleep. Exercise regularly. Start with low-level exercise. Your provider may refer you to a pain clinic if your condition is severe.
Fibromyalgia is a long-term disorder. Sometimes, the symptoms improve. Other times, the pain may get worse and continue for months or years.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fleas :
Fleas. Fleas prefer to live on dogs and cats. They may also be found on humans and other warm-blooded animals. Pet owners may not be bothered by fleas until their pet has been gone for a long period of time. Fleas look for other sources of food and begin to bite humans. Bites often occur around the waist, ankles, armpits, and in the bend of the elbows and knees.
Symptoms of flea bites include: Small red bumps, often three bumps together, that are very itchy Blisters if the person has an allergy to flea bites Located most often on the arms, legs and places where clothes fit close to the body, such as the thighs and waist.
Usually, a diagnosis can be made when the health care provider examines the skin where the bites are. Questions may be asked about contact with animals such as cats and dogs. In rare cases, a skin biopsy is done to rule out other skin problems.
You can use an over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream to relieve itching. Antihistamines you take by mouth may also help with itching.
Scratching can lead to a skin infection.
Prevention may not always be possible. The goal is to get rid of the fleas. This can be done by treating your home, pets, and outside areas with chemicals (pesticides). Small children should not be in the home when pesticides are being used. Birds and fish must be protected when chemicals are sprayed. Home foggers and flea collars do not always work to get rid of fleas. If home treatments do not work, you may need to get professional pest control help.

Flu- Influenza - Influenza viruses A, B, and C (Orthomyxovirus)

Encyclopedia Entry for Flu :
Flu. The flu is caused by an influenza virus. Most people get the flu when they breathe in tiny airborne droplets from the coughs or sneezes of someone who has the flu. You can also catch the flu if you touch something with the virus on it, and then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes. People often confuse colds and flu. They are different, but you might have some of the same symptoms. Most people get a cold several times a year. On the contrary, people get the flu only once every few years. Sometimes, you can get a virus that makes you throw up or have diarrhea. Some people call this the ' stomach flu.' This is a misleading name because this virus is not the actual flu. The flu mostly affects your nose, throat, and lungs.
Flu symptoms will often start quickly. You can start to feel sick about 1 to 7 days after you come in contact with the virus. Most of the time symptoms appear within 2 to 3 days. The flu spreads easily. It can affect a large group of people in a very short amount of time. For example, students and co-workers get sick within 2 or 3 weeks of the flu's arrival in a school or workplace. The first symptom is a fever between 102 F (39 C) and 106 F (41 C). An adult often has a lower fever than a child. Other common symptoms include: Body aches Chills Dizziness Flushed face Headache Lack of energy Nausea and vomiting The fever, aches, and pains begin to go away on days 2 through 4. But new symptoms occur, including: Dry cough Increased symptoms that affect breathing Runny nose (clear and watery) Sneezing Sore throat Most symptoms go away in 4 to 7 days. The cough and tired feeling may last for weeks. Sometimes, the fever comes back. Some people may not feel like eating. The flu can make asthma, breathing problems, and other long-term (chronic) illnesses and conditions worse.
Most people do not need to see a health care provider when they have flu symptoms. This is because most people are not at risk for a severe case of the flu. If you are very sick with the flu, you may want to see your provider. People who are at high risk for flu complications may also want to see a provider if they get the flu. When many people in an area have flu, a provider can make a diagnosis after hearing about your symptoms. No further testing is needed. There is a test to detect the flu. It is done by swabbing the nose or throat. Most of the time, test results are available very fast. The test can help your provider prescribe the best treatment.
HOME CARE Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) help lower fever. Providers sometimes suggest you to use both types of medicine. DO NOT use aspirin. A fever does not need to come all the way down to normal. Most people feel better when the temperature drops by 1 degree. Over-the-counter cold medicines may make some of your symptoms better. Cough drops or throat sprays will help with your sore throat. You will need a lot of rest. Drink plenty of liquids. DO NOT smoke or drink alcohol. ANTIVIRAL DRUGS Most people with milder symptoms feel better in 3 to 4 days. They do not need to see a provider or take antiviral medicines. Providers may give antiviral drugs to people who get very sick with the flu. You may need these medicines if you are more likely to have flu complications The health problems below may increase your risk of getting sicker with the flu: Lung disease (including asthma) Heart conditions (except high blood pressure) Kidney, liver, nerve, and muscle conditions Blood disorders (including sickle cell disease) Diabetes A weakened immune system due to diseases (such as AIDS), radiation therapy, or certain medicines, including chemotherapy and corticosteroids Other long-term medical problem These medicines may shorten the time you have symptoms by about 1 day. They work better if you start taking them within 2 days of your first symptoms. Children at risk of a severe case of the flu may also need these medicines.
Millions of people in the United States get the flu each year. Most people get better within a week or two, but thousands of people with the flu develop pneumonia or a brain infection. They need to stay in the hospital. About 36,000 people in the United States die each year of problems from the flu. Anyone at any age can have serious complications from the flu. Those at highest risk include: People over the age of 65 Children younger than 2 years old Women who are more than 3 months pregnant Anyone living in a long-term care facility Anyone with chronic heart, lung, or kidney conditions, diabetes, or a weakened immune system.
Complications may include: Pneumonia Encephalitis (infection of the brain) Meningitis Seizures.
Call your provider if you get the flu and think you are at risk for having complications. Also, call your provider if your flu symptoms are very bad and self-treatment is not working.
You can take steps to avoid catching or spreading the flu. The best step is to get a flu vaccine. Nasal spray flu vaccine If you have the flu: Stay in your apartment, dorm room, or home for at least 24 hours after your fever has gone. Wear a mask if you leave your room. Avoid sharing food, utensils, cups, or bottles. Use hand sanitizer often during the day and always after touching your face. Cover your mouth with a tissue when coughing and throw it away after use. Cough into your sleeve if a tissue is not available. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 6 months and older should receive the influenza vaccine. For the 2018-2019 season, the CDC recommends use of the flu shot (inactivated influenza vaccine or IIV) and the recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV). The nasal spray flu vaccine (live attenuated influenza vaccine, or LAIV) may be given to healthy, non-pregnant people 2 through 49 years of age.

Encyclopedia Entry for Flu :
Fluid imbalance. Your body is constantly losing water through breathing, sweating, and urinating. If you do not take in enough fluids or water, you become dehydrated. Your body may also have a hard time getting rid of fluids. As a result, excess fluid builds up in the body. This is called fluid overload (volume overload). This can lead to edema (excess fluid in the skin and tissues). Many medical problems can cause fluid imbalance: After surgery, the body usually retains large amounts of fluid for several days, causing swelling of the body. In heart failure , fluid collects in the lungs, liver, blood vessels, and body tissues because the heart does a poor job of pumping it to the kidneys. When the kidneys do not work well because of long-term (chronic) kidney disease , the body cannot get rid of unneeded fluids. The body may lose too much fluid due to diarrhea , vomiting, severe blood loss, or high fever. Lack of a hormone called antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can cause the kidneys to get rid of too much fluid. This results in extreme thirst and dehydration. Often, a high or low level of sodium or potassium is present as well. Medicines can also affect fluid balance. The most common are water pills (diuretics) to treat blood pressure.
Treatment depends on the specific condition that is causing the fluid imbalance.
Call your health care provider if you or your child has signs of dehydration or swelling, in order to prevent more serious complications.

Fluorescein angiography. You will be given eye drops that make your pupil dilate. You will be asked to place your chin on a chin rest and your forehead against a support bar to keep your head still during the test. The health care provider will take pictures of the inside of your eye. After the first group of pictures is taken, a dye called fluorescein is injected into a vein. Most often it is injected at the inside of your elbow. A camera-like device takes pictures as the dye moves through the blood vessels in the back of your eye.
You will need someone to drive you home. Your vision may be blurry for up to 12 hours after the test. You may be told to stop taking medicines that could affect the test results. Tell your provider about any allergies, particularly reactions to iodine. You must sign an informed consent form. You must remove contact lenses before the test. Tell the provider if you may be pregnant.
When the needle is inserted, some people feel slight pain. Other others feel only a prick or sting. Afterward, there may be some throbbing. When the dye is injected, you may have mild nausea and a warm feeling in your body. These symptoms go away quickly most of the time. The dye will cause your urine to be darker. It may be orange in color for a day or two after the test.
This test is done to see if there is proper blood flow in the blood vessels in the two layers in the back of your eye (the retina and choroid). It can also be used to diagnose problems in the eye or to determine how well certain eye treatments are working.
A normal result means the vessels appear a normal size, there are no new abnormal vessels, and there are no blockages or leakages.
If blockage or leakage is present, the pictures will map the location for possible treatment. An abnormal value on a fluorescein angiography may be due to: Blood flow (circulatory) problems, such as blockage of the arteries or veins Cancer Diabetic or other retinopathy High blood pressure Inflammation or edema Macular degeneration Microaneurysms -- enlargement of capillaries in the retina Tumors Swelling of the optic disc The test may also be done if you have: Retinal detachment Retinitis pigmentosa.
There is a slight chance of infection any time the skin is broken. Rarely, a person is overly sensitive to the dye and may experience: Dizziness or faintness Dry mouth or increased salivation Hives Increased heart rate Metallic taste in mouth Nausea and vomiting Sneezing Serious allergic reactions are rare.
The test results are harder to interpret in people with cataracts.

Encyclopedia Entry for Flu :
Fluorescein eye stain. A piece of blotting paper containing the dye is touched to the surface of your eye. You are asked to blink. Blinking spreads the dye and coats the tear film covering the surface of the cornea. The tear film contains water, oil, and mucus to protect and lubricate the eye. The health care provider then shines a blue light at your eye. Any problems on the surface of the cornea will be stained by the dye and appear green under the blue light. The provider can determine the location and likely cause of the cornea problem depending on the size, location, and shape of the staining.
You will need to remove your eyeglasses or contact lenses before the test.
If your eyes are very dry, the blotting paper may be slightly scratchy. The dye may cause a mild and brief stinging sensation.
This test is to: Find scratches or other problems with the surface of the cornea Reveal foreign bodies on the eye surface Determine if there is irritation of the cornea after contacts are prescribed.
If the test result is normal, the dye remains in the tear film on the surface of the eye and does not stick to the eye itself.
Abnormal results may point to: Abnormal tear production (dry eye) Blocked tear duct Corneal abrasion (a scratch on the surface of the cornea) Foreign bodies, such as eyelashes or dust ( foreign object in eye ) Infection Injury or trauma Severe dry eye associated with arthritis (keratoconjunctivitis sicca).
If the dye touches the skin, there may be a slight, brief, discoloration.

Encyclopedia Entry for Flu :
Fluoride in diet. Small amounts of fluoride help reduce tooth decay. Adding fluoride to tap water (called fluoridation) helps reduce cavities in children by more than half.
Fluoridated water is found in most community water systems. (Well water often does not contain enough fluoride.) Food prepared in fluoridated water contains fluoride. Natural sodium fluoride is in the ocean, so most seafood contains fluoride. Tea and gelatin also contain fluoride. Infants can only get fluoride through drinking infant formulas. Breast milk has a negligible amount of fluoride in it.
A lack (deficiency) of fluoride may lead to increased cavities, and weak bones and teeth. Too much fluoride in the diet is very rare. Rarely, infants who get too much fluoride before their teeth have broken through the gums have changes in the enamel that covers the teeth. Faint white lines or streaks may appear, but they are usually not easy to see.
The Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine recommends the following dietary intake for fluoride: These values are AI (adequate intakes), not recommended daily allowances (RDAs). Infants 0 to 6 months: 0.01 milligrams per day (mg/day) 7 to 12 months: 0.5 mg/day Children 1 to 3 years: 0.7 mg/day 4 to 8 years: 1.0 mg/day 9 to 13 years: 2.0 mg/day Adolescents and Adults Males ages 14 to 18 years: 3.0 mg/day Males over 18 years: 4.0 mg/day Females over 14 years: 3.0 mg/day The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) MyPlate food guide plate. Specific recommendations depend on age and gender. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you. To help make sure infants and children do not get too much fluoride: Ask your provider about the type of water to use in concentrated or powdered formulas. DO NOT use any fluoride supplement without talking to your provider. Avoid using fluoride toothpaste in infants younger than 2 years. Use only a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste in children older than 2 years. Avoid fluoride mouth rinses in children younger than 6 years.

Fluoride overdose. Fluoride can be harmful in large amounts.
Fluoride is found in many over-the-counter and prescription products, including: Certain mouthwashes and toothpastes Certain vitamins (Tri-Vi-Flor, Poly-Vi-Flor, Vi-Daylin F) Water that has fluoride added to it Sodium fluoride liquid and tablets Fluoride may also be found in other household items, including: Etching cream (also called acid cream, used to etch designs in drinking glasses) Roach powders Other products may also contain fluoride.
Symptoms of a fluoride overdose include: Abdominal pain Abnormal taste in the mouth (salty or soapy taste) Seizures Diarrhea Drooling Eye irritation (if placed in eye) Headache Heart attack Irregular or slow heartbeat Nausea and vomiting Shallow breathing Tremors (rhythmic movements) Weakness.
Have this information ready: Person's age, weight, and condition (for example, is the person awake or alert?) Name of the product (ingredients and strength, if known) Time it was swallowed Amount swallowed Call for help even if you don't know this information.
Your local poison control center can be reached directly by calling the national toll-free Poison Help hotline (1-800-222-1222) from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions. This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container to the hospital with you, if possible. The health care provider will measure and monitor the person's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Tests that may done include: Blood and urine tests Chest x-ray ECG (electrocardiogram or heart tracing) Treatment may include: Fluids through a vein (by IV) Medicines to treat symptoms Calcium or milk Laxative Breathing support, including a tube through the mouth into the lungs and connected to a breathing machine (ventilator) The above tests and treatments are more likely to be done if someone overdoses on fluoride from household products, such as hydrofluoric acid in rust remover. They are less likely to be done for an overdose of fluoride from toothpaste and other health products.
How well someone does depends on how much fluoride was swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster a person gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery. The amount of fluoride in toothpaste is usually not swallowed in large enough amounts to cause harm.

Flushable reagent stool blood test. This test is performed at home with disposable pads. You can buy the pads at the drug store without a prescription. Brand names include EZ-Detect, HomeChek Reveal, and ColoCARE. You do not handle stool directly with this test. You simply note any changes you see on a card and then mail the results card to your health care provider. To do the test: Urinate if you need to, then flush the toilet before having a bowel movement. After the bowel movement, place the disposable pad in the toilet. Watch for a change of color on the test area of the pad. Results will appear in about 2 minutes. Note the results on the card provided, then flush the pad away. Repeat for the next two bowel movements. The different tests use different ways to check for water quality. Check the package for instructions.
Some medicines may interfere with this test. Check with your provider about changes in your medicines you may need to make. Never stop taking a medicine or change how you take it without first talking to your provider. Check test package to see if there are any foods you need to stop eating before doing the test.
This test involves only normal bowel functions, and there is no discomfort.
This test is mainly performed for colorectal cancer screening. It may also be done in the case of low levels of red blood cells (anemia).
A negative result is normal. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Talk to your provider about your test results.
Abnormal results of the flushable pad mean there is bleeding present somewhere in the digestive tract, which may be caused by: Swollen, fragile blood vessels in the colon that may result in blood loss Colon cancer Colon polyps Enlarged veins, called varices, in the walls of the esophagus (the tube that connects your throat to your stomach) that bleed When the lining of the stomach or the esophagus becomes inflamed or swollen Infections in the stomach and intestines Hemorrhoids Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis Ulcer in the stomach or first part of the intestines Other causes of a positive test, which do not indicate a problem in the gastrointestinal tract, include: Coughing up and then swallowing blood Nose bleed Abnormal test results require follow-up with your doctor.
The test can have false-positive (the test indicates a problem when there actually is none) or false-negative (the test indicates there is NOT a problem, but there is) results. This is similar to other stool smear tests which can also give false results.

Eggs.Tree Nuts .Peanuts.Shellfish. Wheat.Soy.Fish.
Food Allergies 2XTRA465,440,380,1600,20,522,146A food allergy is a condition in which certain foods trigger an abnormal immune response (2Trusted Source).
It's caused by your immune system wrongly recognizing some of the proteins in a food as harmful. Your body then launches a range of protective measures, including releasing chemicals like histamine, which causes inflammation.
For people who have a food allergy, even exposure to very small amounts of the problem food can cause an allergic reaction.
Symptoms can occur anywhere from a few minutes after exposure to a few hours later, and they may include some of the following:
Swelling of the tongue, mouth or face
Difficulty breathing
Low blood pressure
Vomiting
Diarrhea

Encyclopedia Entry for Food Poisoning :
Food poisoning. Food poisoning can affect one person or a group of people who all ate the same food. It is more common after eating at picnics, school cafeterias, large social functions, or restaurants. When germs get into the food, it is called contamination. This can happen in different ways: Meat or poultry can come into contact with bacteria from the intestines of an animal that is being processed. Water that is used during growing or shipping can contain animal or human waste. Food may be handled in an unsafe way during preparation in grocery stores, restaurants, or homes. Food poisoning can occur after eating or drinking: Any food prepared by someone who does not wash their hands properly Any food prepared using cooking utensils, cutting boards, and other tools that are not fully cleaned Dairy products or food containing mayonnaise (such as coleslaw or potato salad) that have been out of the refrigerator too long Frozen or refrigerated foods that are not stored at the proper temperature or are not reheated to the right temperature Raw fish or oysters Raw fruits or vegetables that have not been washed well Raw vegetables or fruit juices and dairy products (look for the word 'pasteurized,' which means the food has been treated to prevent contamination) Undercooked meats or eggs Water from a well or stream, or city or town water that has not been treated Many types of germs and toxins may cause food poisoning, including: Campylobacter enteritis Cholera E coli enteritis Toxins in spoiled or tainted fish or shellfish Staphylococcus aureus Salmonella Shigella Infants and older people are at the greatest risk for food poisoning. You are also at higher risk if: You have a serious medical condition, such as kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, or HIV and/or AIDS. You have a weakened immune system. You travel outside of the United States to areas where you are exposed to germs that cause food poisoning. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use extra care to avoid food poisoning.
Symptoms from the most common types of food poisoning will often start within 2 to 6 hours of eating the food. That time may be longer or shorter, depending on the cause of the food poisoning. Food poisoning Possible symptoms include: Abdominal cramps Diarrhea (may be bloody) Fever and chills Headache Nausea and vomiting Weakness (may be serious).
Your health care provider will look for signs of food poisoning. These may include pain in the stomach and signs your body has too little fluid (dehydration). Tests may be done on your stools or the food you have eaten to find out what type of germ is causing your symptoms. However, tests may not always find the cause of the diarrhea. In more serious cases, your provider may order a sigmoidoscopy. This test uses a thin, hollow tube with a light on the end that is laced in the anus to look for the source of bleeding or infection.
Most of the time, you will get better in a couple of days. The goal is to ease symptoms and make sure your body has the proper amount of fluids. Getting enough fluids and learning what to eat will help keep you comfortable. You may need to: Manage the diarrhea Control nausea and vomiting Get plenty of rest You can drink oral rehydration mixtures to replace fluids and minerals lost through vomiting and diarrhea. Oral rehydration powder can be purchased from a pharmacy. Be sure to mix the powder in safe water. You can make your own mixture by dissolving teaspoon (tsp) or 3 grams (g) salt and tsp (2.3 grams) baking soda and 4 tablespoon (tbsp) or 50 grams of sugar in 4 cups (1 liter) water. If you have diarrhea and are unable to drink or keep down fluids, you may need fluids given through a vein (by IV). This may be more common in young children. If you take diuretics, ask your provider if you need to stop taking the diuretic while you have diarrhea. Never stop or change medicines before talking to your provider. For the most common causes of food poisoning, your provider will NOT prescribe antibiotics. You can buy medicines at the drugstore that help slow diarrhea. DO NOT use these medicines without talking to your provider if you have bloody diarrhea, a fever, or the diarrhea is severe. DO NOT give these medicines to children.
Most people fully recover from the most common types of food poisoning within 12 to 48 hours. Some types of food poisoning can cause serious complications. Death from food poisoning in people who are otherwise healthy is rare in the United States.
Dehydration is the most common complication. This can occur from any causes of food poisoning. Less common, but much more serious complications depend on the bacteria that are causing the food poisoning. These may include: Arthritis Bleeding problems Damage to the nervous system Kidney problems Swelling or irritation in the tissue around the heart.
Call your provider if you have: Blood or pus in your stools Diarrhea and are unable to drink fluids due to nausea and vomiting A fever above 101 F (38.3 C), or your child has a fever above 100.4 F (38 C) along with diarrhea Signs of dehydration (thirst, dizziness, lightheadedness) Recently traveled to a foreign country and developed diarrhea Diarrhea that has not gotten better in 5 days (2 days for an infant or child), or has gotten worse A child who has been vomiting for more than 12 hours (in a newborn under 3 months you should call as soon as vomiting or diarrhea begins) Food poisoning that is from mushrooms, fish or other seafood, or botulism.

Food PoisoningETDF120,230,830,5500,12710,83930,192500,475440,624370,882450Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is illness caused by eating contaminated food. Infectious organisms including bacteria, viruses and parasites or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning.
Infectious organisms or their toxins can contaminate food at any point of processing or production. Contamination can also occur at home if food is incorrectly handled or cooked.
Food poisoning symptoms, which can start within hours of eating contaminated food, often include nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Most often, food poisoning is mild and resolves without treatment. But some people need to go to the hospital.
Symptoms
Food poisoning symptoms vary with the source of contamination. Most types of food poisoning cause one or more of the following signs and symptoms:
Nausea
Vomiting
Watery or bloody diarrhea
Abdominal pain and cramps
Fever
Signs and symptoms may start within hours after eating the contaminated food, or they may begin days or even weeks later. Sickness caused by food poisoning generally lasts from a few hours to several days.

Encyclopedia Entry for Fragile X Syndrome :
Fragile X syndrome. Fragile X syndrome is caused by a change in a gene called FMR1. A small part of the gene code is repeated several times in one area of the X chromosome. The more repeats, the more likely the condition will occur. The FMR1 gene makes a protein needed for your brain to function properly. A defect in the gene makes your body produce too little of the protein, or none at all. Boys and girls can both be affected, but because boys have only one X chromosome, a single fragile X expansion is likely to affect them more severely. You can have fragile X syndrome even if your parents do not have it. A family history of fragile X syndrome, developmental problems, or intellectual disability may not be present.
Behavior problems associated with fragile X syndrome include: Autism spectrum disorder Delay in crawling, walking, or twisting Hand flapping or hand biting Hyperactive or impulsive behavior Intellectual disability Speech and language delay Tendency to avoid eye contact Physical signs may include: Flat feet Flexible joints and low muscle tone Large body size Large forehead or ears with a prominent jaw Long face Soft skin Some of these problems are present at birth, while others may not develop until after puberty. Family members who have fewer repeats in the FMR1 gene may not have intellectual disability. Women may have premature menopause or difficulty becoming pregnant. Both men and women may have problems with tremors and poor coordination.
There are very few outward signs of fragile X syndrome in babies. Some things the health care provider may look for include: Large head circumference in babies Intellectual disability Large testicles after the start of puberty Subtle differences in face features In females, excess shyness may be the only sign of the disorder. Genetic testing can diagnose this disease.
There is no specific treatment for fragile X syndrome. Instead, training and education have been developed to help affected children function at the highest possible level. Clinical trials are ongoing ( www.clinicaltrials.gov ) and looking at several possible medicines for treating fragile X syndrome.
National Fragile X Foundation: fragilex.org.
How well the person does depends on the amount of intellectual disability.
Complications vary, depending on the type and severity of symptoms. They may include: Recurrent ear infections in children Seizure disorder Fragile X syndrome can be a cause of autism or related disorders, although not all children with fragile X syndrome have these conditions.
Genetic counseling may be helpful if you have a family history of this syndrome and are planning to become pregnant.

This disorder can stem from psychological or emotional problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, worry, guilt, fear of painful intercourse and fear of pregnancy. It can also develop from the undesirability of a partner, the undesirability of the setting, and the use of alcohol or drugs.

FrostbiteCAFL880,787,727Other uses: bursitis, hydrocele, tetanus secondary.

Encyclopedia Entry for Frostbite :
Frostbite. Frostbite occurs when the skin and body tissues are exposed to cold temperature for a long period of time. You are more likely to develop frostbite if you: Take medicines called beta-blockers Have poor blood supply to the legs Smoke Have diabetes Have Raynaud phenomenon.
Symptoms of frostbite may include: Pins and needles feeling, followed by numbness Hard, pale, and cold skin that has been exposed to the cold for too long Aching, throbbing or lack of feeling in the affected area Red and extremely painful skin and muscle as the area thaws Very severe frostbite may cause: Blisters Gangrene (blackened, dead tissue) Damage to tendons, muscles, nerves, and bone Frostbite may affect any part of the body. The hands, feet, nose, and ears are the places most prone to the problem. If the frostbite did not affect your blood vessels, a complete recovery is possible. If the frostbite affected the blood vessels, the damage is permanent. Gangrene may occur. This may require removal of the affected body part (amputation).
A person with frostbite on the arms or legs may also have hypothermia (lowered body temperature). Check for hypothermia and treat those symptoms first. Take the following steps if you think someone might have frostbite: Shelter the person from the cold and move them to a warmer place. Remove any tight jewelry and wet clothes. Look for signs of hypothermia (lowered body temperature) and treat that condition first. If you can get quick medical help, it is best to wrap the damaged areas in sterile dressings. Remember to separate affected fingers and toes. Transport the person to an emergency department for further care. If medical help is not nearby, you may give the person rewarming first aid. Soak the affected areas in warm (never hot) water -- for 20 to 30 minutes. For ears, nose, and cheeks, apply a warm cloth repeatedly. The recommended water temperature is 104 F to 108 F (40 C to 42.2 C). Keep circulating the water to aid the warming process. Severe burning pain, swelling, and color changes may occur during warming. Warming is complete when the skin is soft and feeling returns. Apply dry, sterile dressings to the frostbitten areas. Put dressings between frostbitten fingers or toes to keep them separated. Move thawed areas as little as possible. Refreezing of thawed extremities can cause more severe damage. Prevent refreezing by wrapping the thawed areas and keeping the person warm. If protection from refreezing cannot be guaranteed, it may be better to delay the initial rewarming process until a warm, safe location is reached. If the frostbite is severe, give the person warm drinks to replace lost fluids.
In case of frostbite, DO NOT: Thaw out a frostbitten area if it cannot be kept thawed. Refreezing may make tissue damage even worse. Use direct dry heat (such as a radiator, campfire, heating pad, or hair dryer) to thaw the frostbitten areas. Direct heat can burn the tissues that are already damaged. Rub or massage the affected area. Disturb blisters on frostbitten skin. Smoke or drink alcoholic beverages during recovery as both can interfere with blood circulation.
Call your health care provider if: You had severe frostbite Normal feeling and color do not return promptly after home treatment for mild frostbite Frostbite has occurred recently and new symptoms develop, such as fever , general ill-feeling, skin discoloration, or drainage from the affected body part.
Be aware of factors that can contribute to frostbite. These include extreme: Wet clothes High winds Poor blood circulation. Poor circulation can be caused by tight clothing or boots, cramped positions, fatigue , certain medicines, smoking, alcohol use , or diseases that affect the blood vessels, such as diabetes. Wear clothing that protects you well against the cold. Protect exposed areas. In cold weather, wear mittens (not gloves); wind-proof, water-resistant, layered clothing; 2 pairs of socks; and a hat or scarf that covers the ears (to avoid heat loss through the scalp). If you expect to be exposed to the cold for a long period of time, do not drink alcohol or smoke. Make sure to get enough food and rest. If caught in a severe snowstorm, find shelter early or increase physical activity to maintain body warmth.

Encyclopedia Entry for Frozen Shoulder :
Frozen shoulder - aftercare. The capsule of the shoulder joint is made of strong tissue (ligaments) that hold the shoulder bones to each other. When the capsule becomes inflamed, the shoulder bones cannot move freely in the joint. This condition is called frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder may develop with no known cause. It can also occur in people who: Have thyroid disease, diabetes, or are going through menopause Have a shoulder injury Have had a stroke that makes them unable to use their arm Have a cast on their arm that holds their arm in one position.
Symptoms of frozen shoulder often follow this pattern: At first, you have a lot of pain, which can come on abruptly even without an injury or trauma. Your shoulder can become very stiff and hard to move, even when the pain lessens. It becomes hard to reach over your head or behind you. This is the freezing phase. Finally, the pain goes away and you can use your arm again. This is the thawing phase and can take months to end. It can take a few months to go through each stage of frozen shoulder. The shoulder can get very painful and stiff before it starts to loosen. It can take as long as 18 to 24 months for complete healing. To help speed healing, your health care provider will likely do the following: Teach you exercises to restore motion in your shoulder joint. Refer you to a physical therapist. Prescribe medicines for you to take by mouth. These include drugs to reduce pain and inflammation in the shoulder joint. You may also receive a shot of anti-inflammatory drug or steroid directly into the joint. Most people have a full recovery with full range of motion without surgery.
Using moist heat on your shoulder 3 to 4 times a day may help relieve some pain and stiffness. For pain, you can use ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), or acetaminophen (Tylenol). You can buy these pain medicines at the store. Talk with your provider before using these medicines if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or have had stomach ulcers or internal bleeding in the past. DO NOT take more than the amount recommended on the bottle or by your provider.
Get help setting up your home so that you can get to everything you need without reaching above your shoulders or behind your back. Keep the clothes that you wear most often in drawers and shelves that are between your waist and shoulder level. Store food in cupboards, drawers, and refrigerator shelves that are between your waist and shoulder level. Get help with house cleaning, taking out the garbage, gardening, and other household tasks. DO NOT lift heavy things or do activities that require a lot of shoulder and arm strength.
You will learn some simple exercises and stretches for your shoulder. At first, try to do these exercises once every hour, or at least 4 times a day. It is more important to do the exercises often than to do them for a long time each time you do them. Use moist heat before the exercises to help lessen pain and increase movement. The exercises should focus on stretching of the shoulder and range of motion. Avoid exercises to strengthen your shoulder until the range of motion has returned. Some of the exercises are: Shoulder stretches Pendulum Wall crawl Rope and pulley stretches Movements to help with internal and external rotation, such as hand behind back Your doctor or physical therapist will show you how to do these exercises.
Call your doctor if: The pain in your shoulder is getting much worse even if you take pain medicine You re-injure your arm or shoulder Your frozen shoulder is making you feel sad or depressed.

Encyclopedia Entry for Frozen Shoulder :
Frozen shoulder. The capsule of the shoulder joint has ligaments that hold the shoulder bones to each other. When the capsule becomes inflamed, the shoulder bones are unable to move freely in the joint. Most of the time, there is no cause for frozen shoulder. Risk factors include: Diabetes Thyroid problems Changes in your hormones, such as during menopause Shoulder injury Shoulder surgery Open heart surgery Cervical disk disease of the neck Women 40 to 70 years old are most affected.
Main symptoms of a frozen shoulder are: Decreased motion of the shoulder Pain Stiffness Frozen shoulder without any known cause starts with pain. This pain prevents you from moving your arm. This lack of movement can lead to stiffness and even less motion. Over time, you are not able to do movements such as reaching over your head or behind you.
Your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and examine your shoulder. A diagnosis is often made when you are not able to rotate your shoulder. You may have x-rays of the shoulder. This is to make sure there is no other problem, such as arthritis or calcium deposits. Sometimes, an MRI exam shows inflammation, but these types of imaging tests are not needed to diagnose frozen shoulder.
Pain is treated with NSAIDs and steroid injections. Steroid injections and physical therapy can improve your motion. It can take a few weeks to see progress. It may take as long as 6 to 9 months for complete recovery. Physical therapy is intense and needs to be done every day. Left untreated, the condition often gets better by itself within 2 years with little loss of motion. Risk factors for frozen shoulder, such as diabetes or thyroid problems, should also be treated. Surgery is recommended if nonsurgical treatment is not effective. This procedure ( shoulder arthroscopy ) is done under anesthesia. During surgery the scar tissue is released (cut) by bringing the shoulder through a full range of motion. Arthroscopic surgery can also be used to cut the tight ligaments and remove the scar tissue from the shoulder. After surgery, you may receive pain blocks (shots) so you can do physical therapy. Follow instructions on caring for your shoulder at home. .
Treatment with physical therapy and NSAIDs often restores motion and function of the shoulder within a year. Even untreated, the shoulder may get better by itself in 2 years. After surgery restores motion, you must continue physical therapy for several weeks or months. This is to prevent the frozen shoulder from returning. If you do not keep up with physical therapy, the frozen shoulder may come back.
Complications may include: Stiffness and pain continue even with therapy The arm can break if the shoulder is moved forcefully during surgery.
If you have shoulder pain and stiffness and think you have a frozen shoulder, contact your provider for referral and treatment.
Early treatment may help prevent stiffness. Call your provider if you develop shoulder pain that limits your range of motion for an extended period. People who have diabetes or thyroid problems will be less likely to get frozen shoulder if they keep their condition under control.
