Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine - what you need to know. Varicella (also called chickenpox) is a very contagious viral disease. It is caused by the varicella zoster virus. Chickenpox is usually mild, but it can be serious in infants under 12 months of age, adolescents, adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. Chickenpox causes an itchy rash that usually lasts about a week. It can also cause: Fever Tiredness Loss of appetite Headache More serious complications can include: Skin infections Infection of the lungs (pneumonia) Inflammation of blood vessels Swelling of the brain and/or spinal cord coverings (encephalitis or meningitis) Blood stream, bone, or joint infections Some people get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. It doesn't happen often, but people can die from chickenpox. Before varicella vaccine, almost everyone in the United States got chickenpox, an average of 4 million people each year. Children who get chickenpox usually miss at least 5 or 6 days of school or childcare. Some people who get chickenpox get a painful rash called shingles (also known as herpes zoster) years later. Chickenpox can spread easily from an infected person to anyone who has not had chickenpox and has not gotten chickenpox vaccine. Chickenpox vaccine Children 12 months through 12 years of age should get 2 doses of chickenpox vaccine, usually: First dose: 12 through 15 months of age Second dose: 4 through 6 years of age People 13 years of age or older who didn't get the vaccine when they were younger, and have never had chickenpox, should get 2 doses at least 28 days apart. A person who previously received only one dose of chickenpox vaccine should receive a second dose to complete the series. The second dose should be given at least 3 months after the first dose for those younger than 13 years, and at least 28 days after the first dose for those 13 years of age or older. There are no known risks to getting chickenpox vaccine at the same time as other vaccines. There is a combination vaccine called MMRV that contains both chickenpox and MMR vaccines. MMRV is an option for some children 12 months through 12 years of age. There is a separate Vaccine Information Statement for MMRV. Your health care provider can give you more information. Some people should not get this vaccine Tell your vaccine provider if the person getting the vaccine: Has any severe, life-threatening allergies. A person who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after a dose of chickenpox vaccine, or has a severe allergy to any part of this vaccine, may be advised not to be vaccinated. Ask your health care provider if you want information about vaccine components. Is pregnant, or thinks she might be pregnant. Pregnant women should wait to get chickenpox vaccine until after they are no longer pregnant. Women should avoid getting pregnant for at least 1 month after getting chickenpox vaccine. Has a weakened immune system due to disease (such as cancer or HIV/AIDS) or medical treatments (such as radiation, immunotherapy, steroids, or chemotherapy). Has a parent, brother, or sister with a history of immune system problems. Is taking salicylates (such as aspirin). People should avoid using salicylates for 6 weeks after getting varicella vaccine. Has recently had a blood transfusion or received other blood products. You might be advised to postpone chickenpox vaccination for 3 months or more. Has tuberculosis. Has gotten any other vaccines in the past 4 weeks. Live vaccines given too close together might not work as well. Is not feeling well. A mild illness, such as a cold, is usually not a reason to postpone a vaccination. Someone who is moderately or severely ill should probably wait. Your doctor can advise you. Risks of a vaccine reaction With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of reactions. These are usually mild and go away on their own, but serious reactions are also possible. Getting chickenpox vaccine is much safer than chickenpox disease. Most people who get chickenpox vaccine do not have any problems with it. After chickenpox vaccination, a person might experience: Minor events: Sore arm from the injection Fever Redness or rash at the injection site If these events happen, they usually begin within 2 weeks after the shot. They occur less often after the second dose. More serious events following chickenpox vaccination are rare. They can include: Seizure (jerking or staring) often associated with fever Infection of the lungs (pneumonia) or the brain and spinal cord coverings (meningitis) Rash all over the body A person who develops a rash after chickenpox vaccination might be able to spread the varicella vaccine virus to an unprotected person. Even though this happens very rarely, anyone who gets a rash should stay away from people with weakened immune systems and unvaccinated infants until the rash goes away. Talk with your health care provider to learn more. Other things that could happen after this vaccine: People sometimes faint after medical procedures, including vaccination. Sitting or lying down for about 15 minutes can help prevent fainting and injuries caused by a fall. Tell your provider if you feel dizzy or have vision changes or ringing in the ears. Some people get shoulder pain that can be more severe and longer-lasting than routine soreness that can follow injections. This happens very rarely. Any medication can cause a severe allergic reaction. Such reactions to a vaccine are estimated at about 1 in a million doses, and would happen within a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination. As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a serious injury or death. The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For more information, visit: www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety. What if there is a serious problem? What should I look for? Look for anything that concerns you, such as signs of a severe allergic reaction , very high fever, or unusual behavior. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would usually start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination. What should I do? If you think it is a severe allergic reaction or other emergency that can't wait, call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Otherwise, call your health care provider. Afterward, the reaction should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your doctor should file this report, or you can do it yourself through the VAERS website , or by calling 1-800-822-7967. VAERS does not give medical advice. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines. Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website. There is a time limit to file a claim for compensation. How can I learn more? Ask your health care provider. He or she can give you the vaccine package insert or suggest other sources of information. Contact your local or state health department. Contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by calling 1-800-232-4636 (1-800-CDC-INFO) or by visiting CDC's vaccines website.

Encyclopedia Entry for Varicocele :
Varicocele. A varicocele forms when valves inside the veins that run along the spermatic cord prevent blood from flowing properly. Blood backs up, leading to swelling and widening of the veins. (This is similar to varicose veins in the legs.) Most of the time, varicoceles develop slowly. They are more common in men ages 15 to 25 and are most often seen on the left side of the scrotum. A varicocele in an older man that appears suddenly may be caused by a kidney tumor , which can block blood flow to a vein.
Symptoms include: Enlarged, twisted veins in the scrotum Dull ache or discomfort Painless testicle lump , scrotal swelling , or bulge in the scrotum Possible problems with fertility or decreased sperm count Some men do not have symptoms.
You will have an exam of your groin area, including the scrotum and testicles. The health care provider may feel a twisted growth along the spermatic cord. Sometimes the growth may not be able to be seen or felt, especially when you are lying down. The testicle on the side of the varicocele may be smaller than the one on the other side. You may also have an ultrasound of the scrotum and testicles, as well as an ultrasound of the kidneys.
A jock strap or snug underwear may help ease discomfort. You may need other treatment if the pain does not go away or you develop other symptoms. Surgery to correct a varicocele is called varicocelectomy. For this procedure: You will receive some type of numbing medicine (anesthesia). The urologist will make a cut, most often in the lower abdomen, and tie off the abnormal veins. This directs blood flow in the area to the normal veins. The operation may also be done as a laparoscopic procedure (through small incisions with a camera). You will be able to leave the hospital on the same day as your surgery. You will need to keep an ice pack on the area for the first 24 hours after surgery to reduce swelling. An alternative to surgery is varicocele embolization. For this procedure: A small hollow tube called a catheter (tube) is placed into a vein in your groin or neck area. The provider moves the tube into the varicocele using x-rays as a guide. A tiny coil passes through the tube into the varicocele. The coil blocks blood flow to the bad vein and sends it to normal veins. You will need to keep an ice pack on the area to reduce swelling and wear a scrotal support for a little while. This method is also done without an overnight hospital stay. It uses a much smaller cut than surgery, so you will heal faster.
A varicocele is often harmless and often does not need to be treated, unless there is a change in the size of your testicle. If you have surgery, your sperm count will likely increase. However, it will not improve your fertility. In most cases, testicular wasting (atrophy) does not improve unless surgery is done early in adolescence.
Infertility is a complication of varicocele. Complications from treatment may include: Atrophic testis Blood clot formation Infection Injury to the scrotum or nearby blood vessel.
Call your provider if you discover a testicle lump or need to treat a diagnosed varicocele.

Encyclopedia Entry for Varicose Veins :
Varicose veins. Normally, one-way valves in your leg veins keep blood moving up toward the heart. When the valves do not work properly, they allow blood to back up into the vein. The vein swells from the blood that collects there, which causes varicose veins. Varicose veins are common, and affect more women than men. They do not cause problems for most people. However, if the flow of blood through veins becomes worse, problems such as leg swelling and pain, blood clots, and skin changes may be present. Risk factors include: Older age Being female (hormonal changes from puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can lead to varicose veins, and taking birth control pills or hormone replacement can increase your risk) Being born with defective valves Obesity Pregnancy History of blood clots in your legs Standing or sitting for long periods of time Family history of varicose veins.
Symptoms of varicose veins include: Fullness, heaviness, aching, and sometimes pain in the legs Visible, swollen veins Smaller veins that you can see on the surface of the skin, called spider veins. Thigh or calf cramps (often at night) Mild swelling of feet or ankles Itching If flow of blood through the veins becomes worse, symptoms may include: Leg swelling Leg or calf pain after sitting or standing for long periods Skin color changes of the legs or ankles Dry, irritated, scaly skin that can crack easily Skin sores (ulcers) that do not heal easily Thickening and hardening of the skin in the legs and ankles (this can happen over time).
Your health care provider will examine your legs to look for swelling, changes in skin color, or sores. Your provider also may: Check blood flow in the veins Rule out other problems with the legs (such as a blood clot) Varicose veins.
Your provider may suggest that you take the following self-care steps to help manage varicose veins : Wear compression stockings to decrease swelling. These stockings gently squeeze your legs to move blood up toward your heart. DO NOT sit or stand for long periods. Even moving your legs slightly helps keep the blood flowing. Raise your legs above your heart 3 or 4 times a day for 15 minutes at a time. Care for wounds if you have any open sores or infections. Your provider can show you how. Lose weight if you are overweight. Get more exercise. This can help you keep off weight and help move blood up your legs. Walking or swimming are good options. If you have dry or cracked skin on your legs, moisturizing may help. However, some skin care treatments can make the problem worse. Talk to your provider before using any lotions, creams, or antibiotic ointments. Your provider can recommend lotions that can help. If only a small number of varicose veins are present, the following procedures may be used: Sclerotherapy. Salt water or a chemical solution is injected into the vein. The vein hardens and disappears. Phlebectomy. Small surgical cuts are made in the leg near the damaged vein. The vein is removed through one of the cuts. If the varicose veins are larger, longer, or more widespread on the leg, your provider will suggest one of the following: Procedures that can be done in a provider's office or clinic, such as using a laser or radiofrequency. Varicose vein stripping, used to remove or tie off a large vein in the leg called the superficial saphenous vein.
Varicose veins tend to get worse over time. Taking self-care steps can help relieve achiness and pain, keep varicose veins from getting worse, and prevent more serious problems.
Call your provider if: Varicose veins are painful. They get worse or do not improve with self-care, such as by wearing compression stockings or avoiding standing or sitting for too long. You have a sudden increase in pain or swelling, fever, redness of the leg, or leg sores. You develop leg sores that do not heal.

Encyclopedia Entry for Venous Insufficiency :
Venous insufficiency. Normally, valves in your deeper leg veins keep blood moving forward toward the heart. With long-term (chronic) venous insufficiency, vein walls are weakened and valves are damaged. This causes the veins to stay filled with blood , especially when you are standing. Chronic venous insufficiency is a long-term condition. It is most commonly due to malfunctioning (incompetent) valves in the veins. It may also occur as the result of a past blood clot in the legs. Risk factors for venous insufficiency include: Age Family history of this condition Female gender (related to levels of the hormone progesterone) History of deep vein thrombosis in the legs Obesity Pregnancy Sitting or standing for long periods Tall height.
Pain or other symptoms include: Dull aching, heaviness, or cramping in legs Itching and tingling Pain that gets worse when standing Pain that gets better when legs are raised Skin changes in the legs include: Swelling of the legs Irritated or cracked skin if you scratch it Red or swollen, crusted, or weepy skin (stasis dermatitis) Varicose veins on the surface Thickening and hardening of the skin on the legs and ankles (lipodermatosclerosis) Wound or ulcer that is slow to heal on the legs or ankles.
Your health care provider will do a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and medical history. Diagnosis is often made based on the appearance of leg veins when you are standing or sitting with your legs dangling. A duplex ultrasound exam of your leg may be ordered to: Check how blood flows in the veins Rule out other problems with the legs, such as a blood clot.
Your provider may suggest that you take the following self-care steps to help manage venous insufficiency : Do not sit or stand for long periods. Even moving your legs slightly helps keep the blood flowing. Care for wounds if you have any open sores or infections. Lose weight if you are overweight. Exercise regularly. You can wear compression stockings to improve blood flow in your legs. Compression stockings gently squeeze your legs to move blood up your legs. This helps prevent leg swelling and, to a lesser extent, blood clots. When more advanced skin changes are present, your provider: Should explain which skin care treatments can help, and which can make the problem worse May recommend some drugs or medicines that may help Your provider may recommend more invasive treatments if you have: Leg pain, which may make your legs feel heavy or tired Skin sores caused by poor blood flow in the veins that do not heal or recur Thickening and hardening of the skin on the legs and ankles (lipodermatosclerosis) Choices of procedures include: Sclerotherapy -- Salt water (saline) or a chemical solution is injected into the vein. The vein hardens and then disappears. Phlebectomy -- Small surgical cuts (incisions) are made in the leg near the damaged vein. The vein is removed through one of the incisions. Procedures that can be done in a provider's office or clinic, such as using a laser or radiofrequency. Varicose vein stripping -- Used to remove or tie off a large vein in the leg called the superficial saphenous vein.
Chronic venous insufficiency tends to get worse over time. However, it can be managed if treatment is started in the early stages. By taking self-care steps, you may be able to ease the discomfort and prevent the condition from getting worse. It is likely that you will need medical procedures to treat the condition.
Call your provider if: You have varicose veins and they are painful. Your condition gets worse or does not improve with self-care, such as wearing compression stockings or avoiding standing for too long. You have a sudden increase in leg pain or swelling, fever, redness of the leg, or leg sores.

Ventricular FibrillationETDF140,570,7250,32500,42500,90000,275090,410250,642060,978050Uncoordinated contraction of the ventricular heart muscles, usually leading to cardiac arrest - see Myocardial Infarction, and use caution.

Encyclopedia Entry for Ventricular Fibrillation :
Ventricular fibrillation. The heart pumps blood to the lungs, brain, and other organs. If the heartbeat is interrupted, even for a few seconds, it can lead to fainting (syncope) or cardiac arrest. Fibrillation is an uncontrolled twitching or quivering of muscle fibers (fibrils). When it occurs in the lower chambers of the heart, it is called VF. During VF, blood is not pumped from the heart. Sudden cardiac death results. The most common cause of VF is a heart attack. However, VF can occur whenever the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen. Conditions that can lead to VF include: Electrocution accidents or injury to the heart Heart attack or angina Heart disease that is present at birth (congenital) Heart muscle disease in which the heart muscle becomes weakened and stretched or thickened Heart surgery Sudden cardiac death (commotio cordis); most often occurs in athletes who have had a sudden blow to the area directly over the heart Medicines Very high or very low potassium levels in the blood Most people with VF have no history of heart disease. However, they often have heart disease risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
A person who has a VF episode can suddenly collapse or become unconscious. This happens because the brain and muscles are not receiving blood from the heart. The following symptoms may occur within minutes to 1 hour before the collapse: Chest pain Dizziness Nausea Rapid or irregular heartbeat ( palpitations ) Shortness of breath.
A cardiac monitor will show a very disorganized ('chaotic') heart rhythm. Tests will be done to look for the cause of the VF.
VF is a medical emergency. It must be treated immediately to save a person's life. Call for emergency help (such as 911) if a person who is having a VF episode collapses at home or becomes unconscious. While waiting for help, place the person's head and neck in line with the rest of the body to help make breathing easier. Start CPR by doing chest compressions in the center of the chest ('push hard and push fast'). Compressions should be delivered at the rate of 100 to 120 times per minute. Compressions should be done to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) but no more than 2 inches (6 cm). Continue to do this until the person becomes alert or help arrives. VF is treated by delivering a quick electric shock through the chest. It is done using a device called an external defibrillator. The electric shock can immediately restore the heartbeat to a normal rhythm, and should be done as quickly as possible. Many public places now have these machines. Medicines may be given to control the heartbeat and heart function. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device that can be implanted in the chest wall of people who are at risk for this serious rhythm disorder The ICD detects the dangerous heart rhythm and quickly sends a shock to correct it. It is a good idea for family members and friends of people who have had VF and heart disease to take a CPR course. CPR courses are available through the American Red Cross, hospitals, or the American Heart Association.
VF will lead to death within a few minutes unless it is treated quickly and properly. Even then, long-term survival for people who live through a VF attack outside of the hospital is low.
People who have survived VF may be in a coma or have long-term brain or other organ damage.

Encyclopedia Entry for Vertigo :
Vertigo-associated disorders. There are two types of vertigo, peripheral and central vertigo. Peripheral vertigo is due to a problem in the part of the inner ear that controls balance. These areas are called the vestibular labyrinth, or semicircular canals. The problem may also involve the vestibular nerve. This is the nerve between the inner ear and the brain stem. Peripheral vertigo may be caused by: Benign positional vertigo (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) Certain medicines, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, cisplatin, diuretics, or salicylates Injury (such as head injury) Inflammation of the vestibular nerve (neuronitis) Irritation and swelling of the inner ear ( labyrinthitis ) Meniere disease Pressure on the vestibular nerve, usually from a noncancerous tumor such as a meningioma or schwannoma Central vertigo is due to a problem in the brain, usually in the brain stem or the back part of the brain (cerebellum). Central vertigo may be caused by: Blood vessel disease Certain drugs, such as anticonvulsants, aspirin, and alcohol Multiple sclerosis Seizures (rarely) Stroke Tumors (cancerous or noncancerous) Vestibular migraine, a type of migraine headache.
The main symptom is a sensation that you or the room is moving or spinning. The spinning sensation may cause nausea and vomiting. Depending on the cause, other symptoms can include: Problem focusing the eyes Dizziness Hearing loss in one ear Loss of balance (may cause falls) Ringing in the ears If you have vertigo due to problems in the brain (central vertigo), you may have other symptoms, including: Difficulty swallowing Double vision Eye movement problems Facial paralysis Slurred speech Weakness of the limbs.
Examination by the health care provider may show: Problems walking due to loss of balance Eye movement problems or involuntary eye movements ( nystagmus ) Hearing loss Lack of coordination and balance Weakness Tests that may be done include: Blood tests Brain stem auditory evoked potential studies Caloric stimulation Electroencephalogram (EEG) Electronystagmography Head CT Lumbar puncture MRI scan of head and MRA scan of blood vessels of the brain Walking (gait) testing The provider may perform certain head movements on you, such as the head-thrust test. These tests help tell the difference between central and peripheral vertigo.
The cause of any brain disorder causing vertigo should be identified and treated when possible. To help resolve symptoms of benign positional vertigo, the provider may perform the Epley maneuver on you. This involves placing your head in different positions to help reset the balance organ. You may be prescribed medicines to treat symptoms of peripheral vertigo, such as nausea and vomiting. Physical therapy may help improve balance problems. You'll be taught exercises to restore your sense of balance. Exercises can also strengthen your muscles to help prevent falls. To prevent worsening of symptoms during an episode of vertigo , try the following: Keep still. Sit or lie down when symptoms occur. Gradually resume activity. Avoid sudden position changes. Do not try to read when symptoms occur. Avoid bright lights. You may need help walking when symptoms occur. Avoid hazardous activities such as driving, operating heavy machinery, and climbing until 1 week after symptoms have disappeared. Other treatment depends on the cause of the vertigo. Surgery, including microvascular decompression, may be suggested in some cases.
Vertigo can interfere with driving, work, and lifestyle. It can also cause falls, which can lead to many injuries, including hip fractures.
Call for an appointment with your provider if you have vertigo that does not go away or interferes with your daily activities. If you have never had vertigo or if you have vertigo with other symptoms (such as double vision, slurred speech, or loss of coordination), call 911.

Encyclopedia Entry for Vitamin B12 Deficiency :
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. Your body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. In order to provide vitamin B12 to your cells: You must eat foods that contain vitamin B12, such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products. Your body must absorb enough vitamin B12. A special protein, called intrinsic factor, helps your body do this. This protein is released by cells in the stomach. A lack of vitamin B12 may be due to dietary factors, including: Eating a strict vegetarian diet Poor diet in infants Poor nutrition during pregnancy Certain health conditions can make it difficult for your body to absorb enough vitamin B12. They include: Alcohol use Crohn disease, celiac disease, infection with the fish tapeworm, or other problems that make it difficult for your body to digest foods Pernicious anemia, a type of vitamin B12 anemia that occurs when your body destroys cells that make intrinsic factor Surgery that removes certain parts of your stomach or small intestine, such as some weight-loss surgeries Taking antacids and other heartburn medicines for a long period of time Abuse of 'laughing gas' (nitrous oxide).
You may not have symptoms. Symptoms may be mild. Symptoms can include: Diarrhea or constipation Fatigue , lack of energy, or lightheadedness when standing up or with exertion Loss of appetite Pale skin Feeling irritable Shortness of breath , mostly during exercise Swollen, red tongue or bleeding gums If you have low vitamin B12 level for a long time, you can have nerve damage. Symptoms of nerve damage include: Confusion or change in mental status ( dementia ) in severe cases Problems concentrating Psychosis (losing contact with reality) Loss of balance Numbness and tingling of hands and feet Hallucinations.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may reveal problems with your reflexes. Tests that may be done include: Complete blood count ( CBC ) Reticulocyte count Lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) level Serum bilirubin level Vitamin B12 level Methylmalonic acid ( MMA ) level Serum homocysteine level (amino acid found in blood) Other procedures that may be done include: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy ( EGD ) to examine the stomach Enteroscopy to examine the small intestine Bone marrow biopsy if the diagnosis is not clear.
Treatment depends on the cause of B12 deficiency anemia. The goal of treatment is to increase your vitamin B12 level. Treatment may include a shot of vitamin B12 once a month. If you have a very low level of B12, you may need more shots in the beginning. It is possible you may need shots every month for the rest of your life. Some people may respond to treatment by taking vitamin B12 supplements by mouth. Your provider will also recommend that you eat a variety of foods.
People with this type of anemia often do well with treatment. Long-term vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nerve damage. This may be permanent if you do not start treatment within 6 months of when your symptoms begin. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia most often responds well to treatment. It will likely get better when the underlying cause of the deficiency is treated.
A woman with a low B12 level may have a false positive Pap smear. This is because vitamin B12 deficiency affects the way certain cells (epithelial cells) in the cervix look.
Call your provider if you have any of the symptoms of anemia.
You can prevent anemia caused by a lack of vitamin B12 by eating a well-balanced diet. Shots of vitamin B12 can prevent anemia after surgeries known to cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can reduce or prevent complications related to a low vitamin B12 level.

Encyclopedia Entry for Vitiligo :
Vitiligo. Vitiligo seems to occur when immune cells destroy the cells that make brown pigment (melanocytes). This destruction is thought to be due to an autoimmune problem. An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body's immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake. The exact cause of vitiligo is unknown. Vitiligo may appear at any age. There is an increased rate of the condition in some families. Vitiligo is associated with other autoimmune diseases: Addison disease (disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones) Thyroid disease Pernicious anemia (decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the intestines cannot properly absorb vitamin B12) Diabetes.
Flat areas of normal-feeling skin without any pigment appear suddenly or gradually. These areas have a darker border. The edges are well defined, but irregular. Vitiligo most often affects the face, elbows and knees, back of the hands and feet, and genitals. It affects both sides of the body equally. Vitiligo is more noticeable in darker-skinned people because of the contrast of white patches against dark skin. No other skin changes occur.
Your health care provider can examine your skin to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes, the provider uses a Wood lamp. This is a handheld ultraviolet light that causes the areas of skin with less pigment to glow bright white. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be needed to rule out other causes of pigment loss. Your provider may also perform blood tests to check the levels of thyroid or other hormones, glucose level, and vitamin B12.
Vitiligo is difficult to treat. Early treatment options include the following: Phototherapy, a medical procedure in which your skin is carefully exposed to limited amounts of ultraviolet light. Phototherapy may be given alone, or after you take a drug that makes your skin sensitive to light. A dermatologist performs this treatment. Certain lasers may help the skin repigment. Medicines applied to the skin, such as corticosteroid creams or ointments, immunosuppressant creams or ointments such as pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic), or topical drugs such as methoxsalen (Oxsoralen) may also help. Skin may be moved (grafted) from normally pigmented areas and placed onto areas where there is pigment loss. Several cover-up makeups or skin dyes can mask vitiligo. Ask your provider for the names of these products. In extreme cases when most of the body is affected, the remaining skin that still has pigment may be depigmented, or bleached. This is a permanent change that is used as a last option. It is important to remember that skin without pigment is at greater risk for sun damage. Be sure to apply a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB), high-SPF sunscreen or sunblock. Sunscreen can also be helpful for making the condition less noticeable, because unaffected skin may not darken in the sun. Use other safeguards against sun exposure, such as wearing a hat with a broad rim and long sleeve shirt and pants.
More information about vitiligo can be found at: American Vitiligo Research Foundation - www.avrf.org National Vitiligo Foundation Inc - nationalvitiligofoundation.wildapricot.org Vitiligo Support International - vitiligosupport.org.
The course of vitiligo varies and is unpredictable. Some areas may regain normal pigment (coloring), but other new areas of pigment loss may appear. Skin that is repigmented may be slightly lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. Pigment loss may get worse over time.
Call for an appointment with your provider if areas of your skin lose their coloring for no reason (for example, there was no injury to the skin).

Encyclopedia Entry for Von Willebrand Disease :
Von Willebrand disease. Von Willebrand disease is caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor. Von Willebrand factor helps blood platelets clump together and stick to the blood vessel wall, which is necessary for normal blood clotting. There are several types of von Willebrand disease. A family history of a bleeding disorder is the primary risk factor.
Symptoms may include: Abnormal menstrual bleeding Bleeding of the gums Bruising Nosebleeds Skin rash Note: Most women with heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding do not have von Willebrand disease.
Von Willebrand disease may be hard to diagnose. Low von Willebrand factor levels and bleeding do not always mean you have von Willebrand disease. Tests that may be done to diagnose this disease include: Bleeding time Blood typing Factor VIII level Platelet function analysis Platelet count Ristocetin cofactor test Von Willebrand factor specific tests.
Treatment may include DDAVP (desamino-8-arginine vasopressin), a medicine to raise von Willebrand factor level and reduce the chances for bleeding. However, DDAVP does not work for all types of von Willebrand disease. Tests should be done to determine what type of von Willebrand you have. If you are going to have surgery, your doctor may give you DDAVP before surgery to see if your von Willebrand factor levels increase. The drug Alphanate (antihemophilic factor) is approved to decrease bleeding in people with the disease who must have surgery or any other invasive procedure. Blood plasma or certain factor VIII preparations may also be used to decrease bleeding.
Bleeding may decrease during pregnancy. Women who have this condition usually do not have excessive bleeding during childbirth. This disease is passed down through families. Genetic counseling may help prospective parents understand the risk for their children.
Bleeding may occur after surgery or when you have a tooth pulled. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can make this condition worse. DO NOT take these medicines without first talking to your health care provider.
Call your provider if bleeding occurs without reason. If you have von Willebrand disease and are scheduled for surgery or are in an accident, be sure you or your family tell the providers about your condition.
